Update written by Suzanne

First, some family background to help you out: The main family of this soap is the wealthy Dupree family. Grandfather Vernon was an activist and senator. His wife, Anita, was a singer who raised their family and supported his work (Both are now retired). Anita dresses in fancy clothes, but with her own personal tastes. Everyone on the show dresses very well. They have two daughters: Dani (a former model) and Nicole, a successful doctor. Nicole is married to a surgeon, Ted. They have two children: Martin, an ambitious congressman, and Kat, who’s starting a business with her cousin, Chelsea. Ted has a nephew, Andre, who’s a photographer. Martin is gay and has a husband, Smitty, a former reporter. They have two teens, Tyrell and Samantha. Dani has two daughters, Naomi and Chelsea. Her ex-husband, Bill, is a savvy attorney. He and Dani are divorced, and he’s marrying a former family friend, Hayley. Naomi’s best friend is Ashley, a nurse. Ashley is married to Derek, a firefighter. Naomi’s boyfriend is Jacob, a police detective.

SUMMARY:

Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson drives her car into the gated community of Fairmont Crest while the song “Best of My Love” by The Emotions plays. She and her mom, Anita Dupree, are welcomed into the country club restaurant by the host, Calvin (clearly they eat there a lot). Anita and Nicole hug and sit down. They talk about Dani, another daughter, who’s supposed to be there, but neither has heard from her. Anita hopes that Dani isn’t giving her emotions free freight. The waiter, Jerome, greets them. Anita sighs that Nicole and Dani are so different. They talk about how Dani’s ex-husband, Bill, cheated on her with Hayley. Dani is still reeling from the end of her marriage, and now that Bill and Hayley are getting married there at the club, it’s set her off again (even though she and Bill have been divorced for a while now).

Dani is in her kitchen, looking upset and making coffee. She has two mugs. She throws one across the room. It smashes against the wall. She tries to calm down, but instead, she throws the other mug, too. Her good friend Vanessa drops by for a visit. She sees the mug debris on the floor and makes a funny comment. She can’t believe it when she sees that Dani still has the invitation to Bill and Hayley’s wedding. She thinks Dani should have thrown it into the garbage like most people have. Dani feels humiliated, but Vanessa assures her that she shouldn’t be embarrassed because her family rules Fairmont. She suggests they have a spa day to make her feel better. Dani likes the idea, but she has to meet her mom and sister.

Anita mentions to Nicole that she never liked Bill and felt that he just used them to get ahead and become more upper crust. It reminds her of how men acted in the music business (when she was a singer years ago). She wishes Dani had taken her advice and not given up her modeling career. Naomi texts Nicole to let her know that she’s running late. Naomi, meanwhile, is having sex with her husband, Jacob Hawthorne.

New nurse Ashley Morgan is greeted by her husband, Derek, in their kitchen. He is wearing pants and an apron (no shirt) as he offers her breakfast. He wanted to do something special for her on her first day as nurse.

Dani phones her daughter, Chelsea, to remind her about her wardrobe fitting later on. Chelsea is annoyed that her mom doesn’t think she can handle her life. After she gets off the phone, Dani remarks to Vanessa that her daughter is a brat. Chelsea is a model (and influencer) like Dani was when she was younger. Vanessa wishes she had known Dani back when she was a model. Dani speaks fondly of those days, saying that she faked confidence that she didn’t have.

Chelsea gripes about her mom to her cousin, Kat. Kat reminds her that they’re going to be starting their new line of purses, so they will be making their mark. Chelsea isn’t sure that she wants to abandon her mom just yet.

Nicole is going to receive an important award, so Anita tells her that she’s very proud of her. Nearby, Hayley is chatting with her wedding planner – giving her instructions. The planner points out that most of the invited guests haven’t responded, but Hayley dismisses the idea that there is any problem. She spies Dani, who’s just walked in. Hayley tells her that she’s upset that Dani and her family all hate her. She wonders if they can salvage their relationships. Dani tears into her for stealing Bill, saying that she betrayed them all. Hayley asks if they can find a way to be civil to each other, but Dani’s not having it.

Ashley thanks Derek for his support, as she sits on his lap. He is proud of her starting her new job as a nurse at Garland Memorial. He praises her for being so selfless, and they kiss.

Dani arrives at the table where Anita and Nicole sit, griping about Hayley. They remind her that Bill is also to blame, and in fact, he cheated before that. Dani is aware of that, but is more insulted that he slept with the woman that they had taken in, right under their roof. Dani makes fun of Nicole having the perfect husband and family.

Bill arrives at his office. His assistant, Caroline, has given him a very heavy schedule. She knows that he’ll be off on his honeymoon soon, so that’s why she’s given him so much to do before that. Bill tells her earnestly that “This is a new dawn.”

Hayley gets the keys for her new home in Fairmont Crest from Vanessa, her realtor. Vanessa wonders why she and Bill picked the same community where Bill’s family lives. She points out that everyone will freeze Hayley out, socially, thinking of her as the “sexy, younger, husband thief.” Hayley is optimistic that people will come around. Vanessa wishes her luck, sarcastically, saying that she’s going to need it.

Vernon, Anita’s retired Senator husband, meets his grandson, Martin, at a diner called Orphy Gene’s. It’s clear that they go there often. Vernon counts his many blessings and praises Martin for following in his footsteps to make a difference in their community. Martin declares that he wants more, but he’s not sure what that is yet.

Naomi checks in via text with her mom and Dani. She undresses Jacob again, to have more sex. Jacob is a police detective at the DC police department.

A woman, Bessy, walks up to Vernon and Martin at the diner. She chats with them about how she was also involved with the civil rights movement in the 70’s. She admires Anita as well, and his work as a senator. They shake hands, and he’s glad to hear from her. Vernon points out to Martin that this is the best way to get people to vote for you – talking to them personally and giving them attention.

A man named Wayne (a former football player) visits Bill in his office to ask him for help. He tells him that his son, Terry, was arrested. He’d gotten in trouble with drugs, so he broke into someone’s home to steal jewelry and cash. He tells Bill that the couple he stole from were Diana and Jerry Overton. Bill tells him that he’ll make this go away.

Dani and Nicole bicker (in front of Anita) about marriage. Naomi thinks that Dani should stop obsessing about Bill and Hayley; Anita agrees. Dani doesn’t like that advice and wants to make the cheaters pay.

Derek leaves with Ashley, saying that he’ll take her to the hospital and pick her up after her shift. She’s impressed with how much he’s spoiling her. They kiss.

Naomi tells Jacob that she has a gift for Ashley – a stethoscope on a nice chain. She also got him a gift: pink, fuzzy handcuffs. He puts them on her

Vernon and Martin join Anita, Dani and Nicole. Dani vents that everything she had is one, telling Nicole that she has a right to her feelings. Vernon says soothing things to Dani, which calms her down. He agrees with her, saying that Bill is not worth her tears. They do a little verbal thing that seems like they’ve done it many times in the past, where he gets her to say that she’s the best and brightest. She agrees to let it go.

Chelsea and Kat sit nearby, admiring how Vernon got Dani to cheer up and actually laugh. Naomi comes in and joins them. Chelsea’s not sure how she feels about hating her dad for all he did, but Naomi already feels that way. They go over to join the rest of the family in the lounge.

Ashley starts her first day as nurse at the hospital.

Bill gets the Overtons to drop the charges. Wayne is astonished and how quickly that happened. He’s even more shocked when Bill tells him that there’ll be no charge. Bill tells him that he owes him one.

Vernon tells his family a story (that they’ve probably heard many times already) about trying to find Asian pears when Anita was pregnant with Dani. They talk about family and marriage. Naomi says she plans to stay single. Nicole tells her that there’s nothing wrong with that.

At the hospital, Andre, a photographer (Naomi’s husband’s nephew), chats with Ashley and congratulates her on her first day. He flirts with her as well.

Bill has a short video chat with Hayley. They make a date to have some sexy time in his hotel room.

Vanessa arrives at the club briefly to tell Dani that Bill and Hayley bought a house in Fairmont Crest. Dani is outraged, saying that she’s done being disrespected. She approaches Hayley and yells at her for moving into the house. She slaps Hayley, hard. The rest of the family each glare at Hayley as they walk out, one at a time. A woman sitting nearby, played by guest star Karen Huger of “The Real Housewives of The Potomac.” She says to Hayley, “Welcome to Fairmont Crest.”

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

NATE: So, it seems some progress was made. Amy and Damian were able to talk, clear the air slightly. That’s great. There’s still some wounds that need to be healed, but Amy said they hugged before he left, and he agreed to see her again. That is a huge step for them both. NATE: I saw Damian at the club afterwards. He seems to have softened towards Amy. It feels like he’s ready to try to heal things between them. Just amazing. What a relief. I was so worried for Amy. I think she’s still nervous to get her hopes up, but at least she got to explain her side of things to her son. Hopefully, that will be enough to keep Amy going. I know she was so down after her last meeting with him, the way she talked about leaving town. I didn’t like the idea any more than you do. She shouldn’t be alone, especially right now with her condition. There’s been some progress made on that front as well. I convinced Amy to let me have another doctor take a look at her medical records. Nate, that is wonderful. No guarantees, but we can thank positive thoughts. Yes, we can. Uh, you have done so much to support Amy. Damian, too, even if he’s not ready to see it. Without you, they might never have reestablished their relationship. Some of this is thanks to you. What do you mean? I think Holden may have pushed Damian to give Amy another chance. I’m pretty sure that’s because of you. You charmed Holden. It’s not what you missed. It’s what I missed. You were right, Adam. What was I right about? About us. About not trying to fight this. God knows I’ve tried, but I can’t pretend anymore. I… I can’t pretend I’m not falling for you all over again. CHELSEA: Hey. Hey. What are you doing? I don’t know. Are you playing a game against yourself or just lost in thought? Both. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ Hey, how’s it going? Hey, it’s all good. I’m actually just getting some work done before I head into the office. Where’s your mom? I’m not sure. I haven’t heard from her today. What, are you meeting her? Yeah, I thought so. Set it up, you know, a couple days ago. I called this morning to confirm. Never heard back from her. Well, she’s probably on her way. Hey. I came as fast as I could. I just had meetings at work I couldn’t get out of.

That’s fine.

Any luck? [Daniel sighing] No word from, no sign of Mom. You? Oh, I’ve been trying to call her, and it just goes straight to voicemail. Daniel, what’s going on? I don’t know. Okay, well, I think that we’re past the point of any reasonable excuse. She didn’t show up for breakfast. She’s nowhere to be found. I mean, if she was just running late, she still would have shown up hours ago. It can’t just be that she lost her phone. I spoke with Chance again earlier. He’s got nothing. And I talked to the front desk and nobody’s seen her in a couple days. Okay, listen, I’ve checked in with the clinics. I’ve checked in with the emergency rooms, the urgent care. I even checked in with Lucy’s school just to make sure that they hadn’t heard from her. Nothing. We’re running out of people to ask. And places to look. I can’t ignore it anymore. It seems like something really serious has happened to Mom. You know, there is one house rule we have yet to discuss. Is it a requirement of me living here that I need to learn how to play chess? Well, if you want me to teach you, I will. I’ll think about it. I thought you’d be at work right now. Oh, I should be. But your son conned me.

He conned you?

CHELSEA: Yeah. I mean, nothing like the scams I used to pull at his age, thank God, but yesterday, he told me he just wanted to relax today on his day off from school. And then this morning, he’s like, “Hey, Mom, “remember how you wanted to go ice skating?” So, he made it seem like it was your idea.

That’s a good tactic.

Yeah.

Did it work?

CHELSEA: Oh, it sure did. Yeah, we’re heading there shortly. He’s at the Tack House with Johnny, but he should be back soon. Our son can make us do just about anything. He’s got a sweet face, but he’s lethal. Gets it from you. It’s hard to resist. You know, maybe you’re just a softie. Oh, excuse me. He got you yesterday.

No, he did not.

CHELSEA: Yes, he did. He certainly did. I can’t believe you let him convince you to change your movie pick. It was your night to choose. I was persuaded, okay? You were just unhappy with the change. We subjected you to a sports movie. I was pumped for a comedy. Well, you are as deceitful, okay? You claim that you don’t like Rudy, and then you sobbed through the whole thing. I did not sob. I heard sniffling. Allergies.

We were indoors.

[Chelsea laughing]

It’s winter.

Okay, you got me. I’m a sucker for an underdog story. Sue me. And you know, you’re one to talk. You were getting very emotional at the ending. Well, it was the same allergies that you have. Liar. It was a fun night, though, wasn’t it? It was. When I wasn’t crying, it was great. Ah, so you admit it. [Chelsea sighing] This is good. The three of us living here together. It’s good for everybody, but especially for Connor. I… I didn’t know what to expect, but he’s thriving. Yeah, right?

CHELSEA: Yeah. Yeah.

He loves it. Being with his cousins, spending so much time outside… [Chelsea sighing] …you were right. This change was good for him. Well, I think it’s more than that. He has immediate access to both of his parents now. The way that it used to be. I, uh… I can’t take credit for Damian’s change of heart. But you did speak to Holden about him, didn’t you? Made an appeal? I did ask Holden to try to convince Damian to give Amy another chance. There you go. But by that point, Damian was already leaning in that direction. Maybe what you said to Holden was the final push they needed. Maybe. I hope Damian wants to stick around because that would mean he feels a deeper connection to Amy than he’s admitted. I think that’s part of it, hopefully. What else would it be? You think it has to do with me? A brotherly connection? I actually think it could be something else. According to Holden, Damian met someone here. A woman? I guess this person, whoever she is, has compelled Damian to remain in town. Huh. I wonder if it’s Lily. Lily? Why would you think that? She showed up at the Athletic Club when Damian and I were there. I tried to introduce them, but apparently they already met. Hm. Interesting. Maybe I should thank my cousin, of all people, for Damian’s decision to give Amy another chance. Okay, let’s just calm down, try and take a second, and try and think like Mom. Right. Yeah, if we can get into her head, maybe we can figure out what’s happened. So, where would she go? What would she do? That’s the thing. I– I have no idea. Things are good. She has no reason to bolt. She’s been focusing on uniting us as a family and then this business venture with you and Billy. I know she wasn’t happy that Billy went to Paris with Sally. But would she really run off because of that? Probably not. I– Honestly, I don’t know. Look, I love Mom, but let’s face it, she doesn’t always make the best decisions. Unfortunate, but true. We’re talking about the same woman here who pretended to be dead and then attended her own funeral? Okay, can you just not remind me of that right now, please? And those were very different circumstances. Mom felt isolated then. She was angry at everyone. She’s been upset about the whole situation with Sharon. Yes, but she agreed to put that behind her. And I believe her, that she was at least going to try. I thought so too. She said she was excited to be working together, ready to chart this new path forward, but then this happens. No, but Daniel, she has been determined to be there for us. Especially for you and Lucy. I really don’t think that Mom would have disappeared on us. Not now. Right. So where does that leave us? Right back here with no answers. So, this is her Valentine’s Day outfit. Aria was so, so cute. She even had a matching headband. I mean, it’s on point and adorable. Mm-hmm. And then this is her second outfit because she decided to roll around in a bunch of leaves and a surprising amount of dirt. Kid knows how to play. Respect. Oh, and she had this adorable tiara that she would only share with Grandma Sharon. And here she is. She’s trying to put it on her.

See?

Oh, there we go. Quite the pair. Speaking of which, your mom is officially late. Uh, why don’t you try calling her again? See if she’s on her way. [Nick sighing] Voicemail. Hey, uh, it’s me. I’m at Crimson Lights. We’re supposed to meet here. If you want to meet somewhere else, just let me know. Call me. Bye. Um, so you haven’t heard from her at all today? No. Actually, I didn’t hear from her yesterday either. Me neither. Well, why don’t I call the office? I’ll see if she’s there. Yeah. Hey, hey, it’s Mariah. Is Sharon there? Uh, okay, yeah. I’ll definitely keep you posted. Thanks. It’s okay. What is it? They haven’t heard from Sharon either, and apparently she hasn’t been answering any texts or emails, which is not like her. Sorry to interrupt. Did you just say something’s going on with Sharon? Uh, yeah, we haven’t heard from her.

You haven’t seen her?

No. Something wrong? I don’t know what to make of this just yet, but… apparently, Phyllis is missing. So despite the sports movies you have to put up with, and the mysterious allergies they cause, how are you adjusting to living on the ranch? I like it here. I feel comfortable. At ease. So, it feels like home? It does. I think at first I thought that everything would remind me of your father. Maybe not the best feeling. And I was worried that I’d feel uncomfortable living on Newman property. But you don’t? Not anymore. No. It’s very peaceful here. And I see your family a lot less often than I thought I would. And when I do see them, they’re lovely and very pleasant. Well, as they should be. This house, I think I was concerned that it wouldn’t feel like mine. That I would feel like I’m living at Victor and Nikki’s house, but… you know, things changed, and we got settled, and now it really feels like it’s… ours. Our own little world. I think that’s how Connor sees it, anyway. Yeah, I think he does. Hey, are you okay? Why wouldn’t I be? You just seemed a little off the past couple days. Like something was on your mind or bothering you. God, I cannot get anything past you, can I? If I tell you something, will you promise not to hold it against me? Wait. So, Phyllis has been gone. For how long? A day or so. And nobody’s heard from her? You know, Summer called me. She was worried about her mom. I just assumed it was Phyllis being Phyllis and that she had shown up by now. Well, seems she hasn’t. I had no idea the police were involved. Doing this is more of a favor for your daughter. Summer and Daniel are obviously worried, given everything that’s been going on. Yeah, I mean, I get what it’s like to worry after a missing mom. I mean, I would like to think after everything Sharon’s been through, that she’s just taking a personal day, right? She wouldn’t do that without checking in. Yeah, that’s true. I’m gonna call ranch security, just have them go by her place, just to be safe. NATE: Did you get the sense that Damian wanted to stay in town just because of Lily? Not for Amy? I’m not sure. But Holden made it sound like this woman, whoever she is, has made quite an impression. Yeah, that sounds like Lily. But we don’t know for sure that it’s her. I sensed a bit of a vibe between them. If it is her, I wonder if she’s also made appeals on Amy’s behalf. That wouldn’t surprise me. Lily understands the importance of family. I guess if they have some sort of connection that keeps Damian in town, that is all that matters. The more time Damian spends with Amy, the more he’ll remember how close they used to be. Whatever it takes. If him sticking around is thanks in part to Lily, I’m grateful for her. I can certainly see how someone would be taken with her. Mm-hmm. Like the way Holden was clearly taken with you. Is he? Come on, it’s pretty obvious. The guy can’t take his eyes off of you. Nate. Yeah? Uh… There’s something you should know… about Holden and me. What about you and Holden? It sounds worse than it is. Okay. Seems serious. I promise you, it isn’t. What is it, Audra? When Holden first arrived, posing as Damian, I recognized him. It wasn’t the first time we met. You’d met him here in town? I know him from when I was in Los Angeles with Tucker. But that was years ago. So, when I saw him, I was just so surprised. I… I didn’t say anything. Okay, thanks. Sharon is not at her place. There’s nobody there. Yeah, I texted Tessa and she hasn’t heard from her either. Something feels off, right? Yeah, it does. I mean, Sharon just went missing weeks ago. She could have died in that sewer. I am really trying not to panic, but I– NICK: Let’s not do that, okay? We gotta figure this out. There’s gotta be some explanation. When’s the last time either of you had contact with Sharon? Uh, I saw her the morning of Valentine’s Day before I went to work. I saw her that night. She seemed fine. Well, it couldn’t be nothing, but Phyllis has been missing for about the same amount of time. You think it’s connected? I can’t be sure, but– You know, we should talk to Daniel and Summer. Maybe they’ve heard something. What’s next? Where do we go from here? [phone ringing] It’s Chance. Hey, I’m– I’m here with Summer. Um, what– what’s going on? Hey, can the two of you come to Crimson Lights? Have you heard something about our mother? Let’s talk in person, okay? Yeah, okay, um, we– we’ll come there. Um, he wants to talk to us. It sounds like he has news, but he didn’t want to discuss it over the phone. Okay, yeah, let– let’s go. All right, they’re on their way. Great. Well, hopefully they’ll have some ideas about Sharon and Phyllis. I mean, do you think they actually could have disappeared together? Let’s just take this one step at a time. I mean, should we ask Faith if she’s heard from Mom? I would prefer not to do that. She is out of town with some friends, having fun. I don’t want to worry her until we have to. Right. And there might not be anything to worry about.

Yeah.

CHANCE: Yeah, I don’t want to send up any unnecessary alarms about a connection between the two disappearances. But it will help to compare notes. NICK: Agreed. So, we talk to Daniel and Summer. Just try and get to the bottom of this. Is it about Connor? No. It’s about us. Well, I thought we’ve been getting along pretty well. I just… I feel I need to be honest with you about how I’m feeling. Okay. When the three of us moved in here together, I thought it would be fine. You know, it’s a big house. You’d have your space. I’d have mine. Do you regret asking me to move in here? No, no. Not at all. Look, I know what I want to say. I’m just I’m afraid you’re not going to want to hear it. Adam, just tell me. What’s difficult for me is… how much I love having you here. You and Connor, all the time. I mean, it’s– it’s so damn clear to me now. Well, why would I not want to hear that? Why would that upset me? Because… having you here, it’s making it harder to fight the fact… that I’m falling back in love with you. I, um, I wasn’t expecting you to say that. Well, I just felt like I needed to tell you. And I swear I’m not trying to pressure you. Then why bring it up? Because… Because I can’t stop thinking about it. I had a dream the other night and it just, it kind of shook me. What happened? You came to me in the dream and you said, you thought that we should try again. To be together. Oh. And I know that’s not what you really want. It was just my subconscious my wishful thinking. Right. Yeah, I know that it was just a dream, but… you know, it stuck. Is me being here creating this wave of emotions for you? It’s making things harder on you? I mean I don’t think it helps. Because I’m so alluring. Pretty much. No, listen, I, um– I– I don’t want to move out or anything, I wouldn’t want to do that to Connor but it seems like this is tough on you. So maybe we create some ground rules, some new boundaries. Okay, you know, Chelsea, I don’t want you to wall yourself off of me. I mean honestly I don’t want anything to change. I want more movie nights and board games and you stealing my snacks. That was one time. Look, I told you how I felt because you sensed something. I want complete honesty between us. Okay, um, well while we’re confessing things um, my feelings, um… Being here with you has brought up memories.

What kind?

Some bad. Some good. But mostly it’s just reminded me of when we were together. And in love. I don’t understand. So you knew Holden wasn’t really Damian and didn’t tell me? I wasn’t sure what to think. When I met him in L.A. he went by Holden, but then when he showed up here as Damian I thought maybe that had been a lie, that he really was Damian. And he used a fake name when you met him? If he went by Holden in L.A., it would make sense why it was so difficult for Amy to track him down on her own. My head was swimming. I couldn’t believe I might have met your half-brother years ago. How well did you know Holden back in L.A.? We went on a few dates. It wasn’t serious. Mm. Is that all? I got into a bit of a situation thanks to Tucker and Holden helped me get out of it. What kind of situation? Tucker sent me to do a deal with some music producers and I went alone. It should have been an easy meeting, but they turned out to be less than gentlemanly. Things got a little out of hand and when things escalated, Holden happened to be there and he intervened. So, he rescued you? It wasn’t a big deal. But he protected you? He backed me up. I can hold my own, you know that. But I appreciated what he did. I’m still confused. If the incident was so harmless– It was. Then, why not tell me the truth right away as soon as you saw him? Huh? Was there something else to hide? Dad!

NICK: Hey!

Hey! Chance just told me your mom’s still missing. I’m so sorry that I didn’t check in more. No, it’s okay, but what’s going on? Have you guys heard something? Unfortunately, we haven’t. But it does turn out that Nick and Mariah have not heard from Sharon either for about the same amount of time as Phyllis. Wait a second. So, Sharon and our mother are both missing. Do you think there’s something more to this? It seems like a weird coincidence. Yeah, why would they go anywhere together? The two of them hate each other. Unless one of them didn’t go willingly. What are you implying? Your mom hates my mom with a vengeance that could topple buildings. Phyllis has repeatedly said that she wasn’t going to let Sharon get away with all of the bad things that she did to your family. SUMMER: Wait, are you seriously saying that our mom could have done something to Sharon?

Let’s not go there.

No, no. I mean, let’s not forget that Sharon’s the one who threw Heather’s body in a river. Which is reason enough for Phyllis to want payback. She’s made that very clear. How can you seriously stand there and accuse my mom? Summer, Summer, Mariah, this isn’t helping. Okay, let’s just relax. Chance, is it possible at all that either one of them may have kidnapped the other? There is no evidence of that right now. Okay, I just think it’s odd that they seem to be missing at the same time, that’s all. So what are we supposed to do? CHANCE: Well, I think we need to think this through. Civilly, I might add. Let’s compare what we know and let’s see if there’s a line of investigation I can follow. Sure, of course. Whenever it takes to bring our mom home. Both of our moms home. I know this looks bad, but our mother shouldn’t be on trial here. Despite everything Sharon has done to our family, she was determined to put in the past. Because Phyllis was so great at letting things go? She wasn’t after revenge. Okay, Mom recognized that her anger had become unhealthy. And look, we both accepted jobs working with Billy recently. She was excited about that. Has Billy heard from her at all? He’s still in Paris with Sally. He said they spoke like a day or two ago about business and everything sounded fine. Mom did not do anything to Sharon. I mean, you believe that, right, Dad? Of course I do. Nobody is suggesting that. Feels like someone is. NICK: We all want the same thing here. And that is to find out what happened to Sharon and Phyllis. Can we agree on that? We can, yes. I don’t know. Maybe there’s more to the situation. I mean, we all know how adept Sharon is at framing innocent people, right? Maybe she’s setting Mom up. We also know how hard it is for Phyllis to let go of a grudge. The first thing that we need to figure out is when did Phyllis and Sharon last see each other? Now, can we keep the peace long enough to do that? AUDRA: I don’t have anything else to hide. Which is why I’m telling you this now. But you didn’t feel like you could tell me earlier. Yeah. I should have spoken up sooner. I– I honestly don’t know why I didn’t. When I think of Holden, it reminds me of my time with Tucker and I guess I just didn’t want to go there. I can see that. I was just so stunned to see him and then realize he might be connected to you and to Amy. I– I just didn’t know what to do. And then to find out that he pretended to be your brother, it was just all too much. You were overwhelmed. I thought that if Holden would just go back to L.A., I wouldn’t have to deal with him again. But here we are. So, I felt like I needed to tell you. Does that make sense? I guess so. There are times in my life that I just rather not relive. And I am sorry I wasn’t up front with you from the beginning. I regret how I handled this. Can you forgive me? We did have a few good times together, didn’t we? More than a few. Well, anything specific that you thought about?

Lots of things.

Yeah. You helping me study for my GED. Watching The Outsiders together. Those were– those were good memories. Oh, that Christmas we spent with Connor and his cat, Oliver, nursing him back to health. Also good. I mean, mostly just little moments, too. Waking up together, you holding me. What about you? What do you think about? Proposing to you. In the rain. Marrying you at my mom’s farm. I mean, we were… We were so happy. We were. When you think about the good times, I mean… how does it make you feel? I want that happiness again. And then what, the bad memories come crashing in? They blur the vision? Sometimes, but then they go away. And then I feel safe. Not afraid. Chelsea, I don’t want to push. And I know that you said you didn’t want to, but… have you changed your mind about us? I mean about there being an us again? Would it really be that bad for us to try again? You have been so honest with me. I’m gonna try to do the same. Take your time. I have thought about it recently. Okay. My knee-jerk reaction is no. It would be bad. But then there’s a voice inside my head that says… maybe not. All right. I’ll take it. I can work with that. Adam, we would have to be so careful and take things so slow. I have a suggestion. Okay. Why don’t we start with something simple? Non-threatening. Something like dinner. Dinner? Just the two of us. Dinner. I’d like that. So would I. Please say something. Tell me how I can fix this. What’s– what’s this for? I am sorry for what happened to you in L.A. And that seeing Holden brought all that back to you. I’m okay. Really. But it’s okay if you’re upset with me about not being up front with you about Holden. I just wish you told me the truth from the beginning just only because I want you to feel you can trust me. So, you’re not mad? The past is the past. Your connection to Holden doesn’t bother me. Unless there’s something you haven’t said. I swear to you, there’s not. Now last time that I saw Sharon and Phyllis together was when Sharon mistakenly confessed to Heather’s murder. Was that before or after Sharon broke into our mom’s hotel suite? Do you have anything to contribute to this conversation? The last time I saw Sharon and my mom it was actually here. Mom had just gotten out of the hospital from her car accident and Sharon still believed that she killed Heather. I mean everyone did. Well, the last time I saw Phyllis, she came over to Sharon’s house on Christmas Eve to accuse her about lying, about not committing those crimes and Phyllis said that she was never going to let my mom get away with murder, so. Sharon I saw you with Phyllis at Society. That’s the last time I saw them together too. And it’s the last time I saw my mom before she disappeared. So did anyone see them interact right before they disappeared? No one seen them cross paths the past couple days? No. Great and we’re still no closer to getting an answer on what’s really going on here. I mean how is it possible for Sharon and Phyllis to just vanish? What the hell could have happened?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Are you okay? Is Chase okay? Why did we have to come up here to talk? Everybody’s good. Everybody’s great, actually. I told Chase everything. I told him about my baby. ♪♪ Good morning. Mmm. It’s been a long time since I’ve said that and meant it. Mmm. It’s a new day, Ava. Yeah, you know something? You’re right. My trial with Kristina is over. My custody battle with Sonny is over. I just — I feel like — like finally things are looking up for me. You’re welcome. [ Chuckles ] What? What? I mean, I — I’m happy you’re here. I am. I’m really happy, but not so happy that I’m gonna give you credit for my custody deal here. You’re a good lawyer. You’re my very favorite lawyer. But you had nothing to do with that. ♪♪ What are you two doing here? I asked them to come. ♪♪ Oh, thank you. Uh, for this… and for so many other kindnesses. I-I truly appreciate everything that you have done for Lulu at first and now for Lucky. Oh, please. You know how I feel about your family. And you’ve all been on a roller coaster for a while. I can’t tell you how much I’ve been praying to get off that roller coaster. Well, Lucky’s condition is stable, so that should help. Maybe somebody up there heard me. I just wish to God I had never crossed paths with Cyrus Renault. ♪♪ Hi. It’s me. I need you in my office as soon as possible. I think you know what it’s about. Cyrus Renault. Hey. Yes? You got a lead on Cyrus? Well, I have one. Jason Morgan. ♪♪ Hey. Thanks for meeting me. When you called, I knew it was important. ♪♪ I heard Cyrus was missing, and after what he — he did to Sam and putting his hands on Danny, I don’t blame you if you had something to do with it. And neither would I. But if somebody killed Cyrus, it wasn’t me. Girl, please call your mother. She’s been blowing up my phone. She’s worried sick about you. Oh. Sorry. We got slammed at breakfast rush, and, um, you know, I’ve — I’ve been too busy to text her back. I still can’t find my phone. Still? Girl, I’d be freaking out if I lost my phone. Why aren’t you? Well, I’ve been a little bit busy, so I was just gonna pick up a new one on my break. Just like that, you’re just gonna buy yourself a brand-new phone? Yeah. I must have lost mine last night, so I still don’t have a phone. Don’t have much of a choice. I don’t know. Something seems up with you, and it’s making me worry. What really happened last night? ♪♪ ♪♪ You told him? Everything? Mm-hmm. Because the last time we talked, you didn’t know whether you wanted to tell him anything or — or not. It was weighing on you. What — What made you choose to tell him everything now? Last night, Ma, Chase was wonderful. He surprised me at the Savoy with my song. He and Curtis — they planned the whole thing. And then he sang it to me in front of everyone. And then later in the night, there was chocolate and rose petals and — and champagne. I mean, no man has ever made me feel so loved and special. Your husband is — is definitely one of a kind. What made you want to tell him everything after all that? Because of all that. Oh. Ma, Chase was being so vulnerable and honest. You know, he told me how he felt about not being able to father our child and how he feels like he robbed me of getting pregnant naturally, and I knew it was time for me to be vulnerable and honest with him, even if that meant losing him. [ Sighs ] Good to see you, Quinn. Yeah, same. How was the Savoy last night? Oh, it was sweet. Thanks again for the hookup. Yeah. If the bartender, N’neka, wasn’t such a good family friend, I couldn’t have made it happen. Getting to that place is crazy hard on any day, but on Valentine’s Day? I’m sure. Hey, next time I go, you have to come with me. And you won’t have to call in any favors because turns out Trina’s dad owns the place. Wait, Trina? That’s who you took? I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to worry you or anyone. It’s just… a few hours after you left, I started to feel a little bit lonely. And you started thinking about Dex. I knew I shouldn’t have left you alone. Hey. No, no, no, no, no. I would have felt so much worse if you had skipped your cute date to sit on the couch with me. I wanted to be alone. Really. And I wanted to feel closer to Dex, so I went over to his apartment. Was it empty? Not totally. His couch was still there. And I just sat there for a while until my phone pulled up a memory of us from about a year ago, and I just lost it. I — I threw my phone against a wall. I cracked the screen. I mean, not only did I feel lonely, but I — I felt stupid. And I didn’t say anything because it was embarrassing. Please. You know I understand. I just — I feel bad that I just didn’t follow my instincts and just stayed home with you. No. Please. Tell me about your date with Kai. Uh, yeah, it was nice. It was, you know, nothing special. But now that I know that you’re okay… “ish,” I — I think I’m just gonna head over to Ava’s. You’re gonna be okay, right? “Ish.” Thanks for checking in. Mm-hmm, of course. ♪♪ Call your mother. Okay. Please. ♪♪ I mean, I thought about taking Cyrus out. But I decided it would be the wrong move. I’m not saying you made the wrong decision, but it’s not something you would have said a year ago. A year ago, Danny’s mom was still here. You know, I gotta think about what’s best for Danny and what Sam would’ve wanted for him. That shows restraint and respect. ♪♪ People change. Not Cyrus Renault. Although he tries to make everybody think he did. ♪♪ Laura, I’m just a phone call away, okay? Thank you. Thank you, Felicia. How’s Lucky? Uh, he is better. Last night was pretty scary. He’s stable now, and the doctors think he’ll make a full recovery. Thank God for that. I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to get here, but I woke up this morning to the PCPD pounding on my door. Why is that? Why else? Because of Cyrus. You know, did I know where he is, when’s the last time I talked to him, et cetera, et cetera. That’s when they told me that he’d gone to Elizabeth’s to attack her and he’d hurt Lucky instead. And so I wanted to come here to see for myself that it was true. It’s all true. Then the hits just keep coming because apparently our beloved brother is missing. Well, when they find him, I hope they lock him up and throw away the key. Yeah. I don’t know what to say. I-I don’t know how he could do something like this to his own nephew. And niece. Oh, yes. He tried to kill Lulu, too. More than once. ♪♪ I-I’m sorry. I just feel sick. Just give me a second. It’s not your fault. Yeah, it is. No, it isn’t. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. It is, though. It is. ‘Cause I wanted to believe that he changed. I wanted to believe that everything, that the whole transformation, the whole religious epiphany was real. Well, in a way, it was. You didn’t wave a magic wand and get Sonny to appear at my door, ready to negotiate Avery’s custody. We both know Sonny, and do you think he actually would have come over here to negotiate if he wasn’t afraid of facing me in court? Come on. He saw what I did at your trial, especially to Kristina, said, “No, thanks,” and backed off. Mm. So, me being a good mother, that — that counted for nothing? It counts for everything. But Sonny is not somebody who settles. He fights, okay? Something spooked him. If it wasn’t me, what was it? With Sonny, it could be everything, could be nothing. One thing I can safely say is that not a moment of our trial prep was wasted. It certainly wasn’t. ♪♪ Mmm. [ Chuckles ] What’s this about, Dante? You found out something about Sam, didn’t you? Yeah, we know what happened to Sam, and, uh, who killed her. It’s Cyrus, isn’t it? Yeah. Now we need to know why. Lulu was actually one of his first victims. When she was at Silver Water, he went and visited her there. Yeah, yeah, he was injecting her with something. Went on for months, and it ended up damaging her liver. And that’s why she needed the transplant? Yes. And if I had only followed my own instincts and had him barred from her room the moment I first found him sitting next to her bed, but I believed that it — But, no, I wanted to believe… that it was all about him [sighs]… wanting to ingratiate himself to me and to the staff, you know, so that they would tell me how devoted he was. But he wasn’t. He wasn’t. He was poisoning my daughter and waiting for her to die. That — That bastard was… He almost killed both of my children. He’s sick. Way sicker than we ever knew. He’s delusional. And it wasn’t just Lucky and Lulu. It was a lot of patients over at Turning Woods. What? Yes. It’s Sam McCall, Dex Heller. No. Yes. Michael Corinthos. Okay, so, that’s my point. It was right there in front of me the entire time. I cannot possibly tell you how many times I’d find him lurking around this place and he was always so upset because he couldn’t volunteer anymore. I just don’t know why — I’m sorry — I didn’t see it before this. Because, like me, you wanted to see the best in your brother, right? But what he was telling himself was that he was on this mission from God. [ Scoffs ] Far from it. I pray to God that one day I will have the ability to forgive this man, but right now, I want him to burn in the fires of hell. ♪♪ You have new evidence pointing toward Jason? No. Not the evidence. It’s the lack thereof. I mean, I have officers stationed at the airport, the bus stations, train stations within a 300-mile radius, and there’s still nothing. Any sightings of Cyrus’s personal vehicle? No. Not since we tracked him on Route 41. I was really hoping the cabin would give us something. I knew as soon as we entered. Nothing. I mean, it was immaculate, you know? That’s when I started to think… maybe it was Jason because only someone as good as him would leave it that clean. What’d Martin Gray say in his statement? Something about Jason saying they’d never find Cyrus’s body? And now here we are — no body, no evidence. But why would Jason make that threat in public and then follow through with it? It seems uncharacteristically reckless. Normally, I would agree with you. However, this involves Jason’s son. And he and Danny have become very close, you know, since Sam’s death. That’s true. And also, you know, the cabin — it was just so clean. It just screamed professional. And Jason — he had the means, the motive, the opportunity, the expertise. If it’s not him, then who the hell else? Okay, so, how do you want to play this? Well, the same way we do with any suspect. Last night, I brought Jason in here for his protection. And today we bring him in for his crime. ♪♪ Josslyn: Oh, hey. Hey. What can I get you? Nothing. I’m gonna grab a bite with Sonny. He’s just busy right now. Oh. Well, you can still sit here. Thanks. Listen, I’m sorry about how Emma came across last night. She can be a little passionate about things sometimes. It’s fine. Emma and I have a strange history. So you don’t ever have to apologize for her. But… I have been handing out her flyers all day. On behalf of animals everywhere and SAAC — Great cause, horrible acronym. [ Chuckles ] You think? Thank you. I’ll let Emma know. I’m really happy that you two are friends. You seem to have a good effect on her. I wish. Gio. Oh. He’s ready for you. I’ll talk to you later. Bye. ♪♪ Jason. Hey. Yeah? Um… I wanted to get some advice from you, but I wanted to ask somewhere a little bit more private. Do you have a minute? Yeah. [ Cellphone ringing ] Sure. Hold on. Hang on. Yeah? Nice of you to pick up. Uh, I haven’t really been looking at my calls. What’s going on? I need you down at the station now. [ Sighs ] Hey, if that’s urgent, my thing can wait. Are you sure? Positive. Okay. I’ll catch up with you later. Okay. Last night, Cyrus attacked Elizabeth and Lucky at Elizabeth’s place. And, uh… she somehow stalled him and, uh, got him talking, and he told her everything. Are they okay? Yeah. Bottom line, yes. Yeah. What did Cyrus tell Elizabeth? That he was delivering God’s will by releasing patients from their pain and suffering. Sam was perfectly healthy. So, why? He targeted Lulu at Silver Water. Uh, he injected her with a drug… to release her from her suffering. And that’s why her liver failed? Yeah. So when Sam donated a part of her liver to save Lulu, she was interfering with… his divine plan. So my daughter was killed because she chose to save someone’s life. Yeah. I took Trina to the Savoy, and we had a great time. What’s the problem? I just don’t know why you would take her out on Valentine’s Day. Meaning…? Meaning the girl is tiny, but if she stands on her attitude, she’s about 50 feet tall. Kai, she criticized you, judged you, mocked football and everything that we do. You’re remembering how things were when Trina and I first met, okay? But a lot has changed since then. We are much closer now. Because football is out of the equation. Kai, you just came through the lowest point of your life. Why be with someone who brings you down even further? She doesn’t, alright? If anything, Trina is lifting me up, alright? She’s helping me get through everything that’s going on with my injury. I-I don’t get it. I thought I got through to her when I told her to stay away from you. What did you say? You talked to Trina behind my back? Yeah. I called her out for being a huge distraction for you. If it wasn’t for her, your head would have been 100% in the game and you wouldn’t have got injured. Sorry I’m late. I had to run a quick errand. You are not late. What is going on with you? I know when you are on cloud nine, and you are definitely on cloud nine. Okay, if I tell you, you have to keep a secret. You can tell me anything. Of course. Kai and I went to my dad’s club last night, and we had a great time. [ Laughs ] That’s wonderful. Why is that a secret? Because of Joss. She’s still grieving Dex. And it’s her first Valentine’s Day without him. And I remember when I lost Spencer, it just — it felt miserable. And Valentine’s Day was just, like, a huge, painful reminder of what I’d lost. And seeing those couples just move forward in the world and it’s in color and — and mine was frozen and in black and white. You’re smiling. Why? Because, for the first time in a year, you are talking about your grief in the past tense. ♪♪ When you say you told Chase everything… Yeah, I told him about my baby, the adoption, how you were there for me. Yeah. And how did he react to all that? Oh, he handled it the way Chase handles everything — wonderfully. He was calm, and he didn’t judge me or get angry. I was waiting for him to lose it a little, but he didn’t. We’re closer than we were even before. Oh, I’m so happy for you, sweetheart. I mean, I know how much this was just weighing you down, and you seem so much lighter. I mean, Chase is a unicorn. He really is. He is. There’s one thing I-I didn’t tell him. What? That Dante’s the father. It would just kill Chase. And then I don’t want to ask him to keep a secret from Dante. Then Dante would have to know, and it would kill Dante. No, no, you saved us from devastation all around with that one. I think you made the right choice. You think so? I know so. I don’t know what I’d do without you, Ma. Even as a scared teenager who didn’t know anything about anything, I knew one thing — that I could come to you and that you’d have my back. Sweetheart, that’s always gonna be true. I will always have your back. Don’t ever think that I take your support or Chase’s love for granted, okay? I just finally feel like I could put the past behind me. ♪♪ Everything’s going good, Uncle Sonny. I really love the program. The professors are great. I… I couldn’t have done any of this without your support. Especially with me playing the violin. The violin? Anybody got a problem with the violin, that’s their problem. [ Chuckles ] It’s just — I’m really glad that you’re in my life. I… I couldn’t be more thankful for you. I appreciate that. Listen, um, that’s why I wanted you to come here. I wanted to give you this. There you go. Uh, I spoke to Lois, and she told me about the music program’s trip to see the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. And, uh, I didn’t want you to have to worry about anything. Wait, what? And I know that Lois, you know, wanted to take care of it, but I wanted to beat her to the punch. So the tickets, all that stuff is in there, plus a little extra cash. No, no, no, you’ve already done so much for me. I can’t. Listen. Listen to me, okay? I need you to do this for me. Give Lois whatever cash is in the envelope, okay? That way, something extra for the trip. I gotta get going. I got someplace I gotta be. Thank you. Alright. ♪♪ ♪ No matter what you do ♪ You remember I kept telling you that Cyrus said that’s what he wanted for our mother, right? Over and over. He wanted to release her. I was telling you we fought about it till I took over her guardianship. Oh, right, mm-hmm. Right? Because as far as I was concerned, anything it took, whatever measures were necessary, I wanted to keep her alive. But he said he wanted to “release” her because he said he didn’t want her to suffer. I’m sure that was very hard on you. My point is, given everything that’s happened, it’s easy to make the connections between my past and our present. Oh, you think that he turned his twisted thinking away from your mother and towards the patients at Turning Woods? Think about it. He couldn’t save her, so he figured he’d save them. [ Sighs ] I mean, it makes me nauseous to think something that twisted could come from taking care of our mother. Because I got news for you — this will kill her. ‘Cause eventually I’ve got to say something. Wait. Wait until we have all the answers. Marty, I wouldn’t tell anybody anything right now. It’s too late. Oh, God. It gets better. I just made a formal complaint against Jason Morgan with the police because he went after Cyrus at Charlie’s. And it was public. [ Sighs ] There I was on my high horse, righteously thinking that Cyrus was some kind of, you know, victim. Turns out I was the village idiot and Cyrus was the monster that killed Danny’s mother. ♪♪ And they knew it. If I was Jason Morgan, I would have done the same thing. Do the police think that Jason had something to do with Cyrus being missing? I think they’re curious. [ Sighs ] Well, if he didn’t, I just hope to God they find him soon because, Marty, you know… we’re not safe if Cyrus is still out there. I never thought of that. I can’t believe I’m saying this, especially because it’s about my own brother, but maybe Cyrus will never be released from his sickness until somebody like Jason Morgan takes care of him. This just gets worse and worse. There’s no justice. There’s never any justice. There will be justice this time. Please tell me Cyrus has been arrested. ♪♪ You have Elizabeth’s affidavit. That’s two attempted murder charges, first degree. There is no way that that bastard is escaping justice this time. You feel like, uh, having some company? Yeah. Yeah, sure, I’d like some company. I would have come earlier. It’s just, uh, you know… I wanted to give you some space. Yeah. Um, I figured you were keeping tabs on Lucky even though you weren’t around. A call here, a call there. Mm. Yeah. I figured this would be the right time to come by. Yeah. Yeah, it is. He’s stable now. He was injured, um, saving Elizabeth’s life. Yeah, I heard. I’m not surprised. Lucky’s a hero. His dad’s a hero. His mom’s a hero. [ Exhales sharply ] He gets his strength from you. Oh, thank you. And he’s stubborn like both of you. [ Laughs ] Cyrus is gone. It’s like he’s, uh, vanished or something. But you’re gonna find him, right, and bring him in? We’re looking for him, but, uh — But the justice system has failed yet again and another killer has slipped through the cracks. ♪♪ I’d like you to explain to me why you went against everything we talked about last night, how we discussed our friendship, how… close we’ve become, my career, how I’ve risked everything, the respect of my colleagues, for you. And then you just couldn’t give me that one favor. Anna — Where is he? Where is Cyrus? Where’s his body? Anna, I don’t know what you’re talking — I don’t know what you’re talking about. No, don’t. Call Diane because I can’t — I can’t stomach these lies. I didn’t do it! Oh, yeah? I thought about it. I even had a it planned, and I know Cyrus deserved it. But when I left here last night, I went to Sam’s grave. And then I went to Drew’s. Well, if you thought about it so much, why didn’t you carry it out? Sasha and Alexis begged me not to hurt Cyrus. And, oh, I wanted to. But I didn’t… because you asked me for a favor. Quinn, you were there. Before I got hurt, I was playing the best game of my life, okay? I was completely dialed in. I was at the top of my game. I’ve never been more in sync with you and the team, okay? Me getting injured was an accident, and that’s it. I mean, what, you’re saying that Trina had something to do with it? You don’t even sound like you. You’re the one that sounds like someone else. It’s like you don’t even care about the team anymore. But I know you, and that’s not you. Yo, football was everything to you. And it still is, okay? I still love the game, and I still love you guys. Yeah, are you sure? ‘Cause since you got hurt and you started hanging out with Trina [scoffs] you’re not the same. Well, maybe the injury made me open my eyes. Maybe it made me see that there’s more to me than just football, okay? [ Scoffs ] Maybe because there’ll have to be. What are you saying? Look, I’m saying that Trina had nothing to do with what happened. I’m really saying that Trina is the only reason I’m not losing my mind right now. Chase has his dad’s good heart. The fact that you had your discussion and that was that — he didn’t have any questions or comments… Well, he did ask if I want to find my baby. [ Knock on door ] Come in! Lois. Yuri said you were up here. This a bad time? ♪♪ Oh, God. What do you want? Nice to see you, too. Diane here? That’s her desk. Do you see her? ♪♪ Hey, Alexis, something wrong? Why are you even asking me that? You don’t care about me. You don’t even care about your own daughter. Did something happen to Molly? Is she okay? Alexis, I’m not leaving here until you tell me what’s wrong. ♪♪ Josslyn: Hi, Felicia. I’ll just have my usual. Okay, great. I was just thinking about you. Really? Please tell me it was something good. I need a win. Oh, it’s definitely a win. I was just thinking about how you helped me remember that when Dex was stabbed, Cyrus was unaccounted for. Well, to my knowledge, he’s still unaccounted for. Unless you have any new leads as to where he may be? I don’t know what we’re doing here. It’s not like I have an appetite. We’ll go inside, have something warm to drink, and talk. Look, I get it, Kristina. I’m frustrated with the system, too. It’s not perfect, but it exists for a reason. Yeah, that’s what people keep saying. I just don’t know why. Well, because at the end of the day, it does a lot of good. Mom, Dante, and I wouldn’t have dedicated our lives to it if it didn’t. Okay, you can prop up the system all you want, but after what happened at Ava’s trial, I’m never gonna believe in “the system” again. It failed me and it failed our baby and it came between us and it almost destroyed our relationship. Well, we had something to do with that. What about Sam? Sam was trying to do something good, and she was killed. And me — I was trying to do something good for my dad, and my baby died. If Cyrus actually gets brought in and the system truly makes him pay for what he’s done, then great. But I don’t see a world where that’s gonna happen, and I don’t know why anyone else thinks it will. I mean, it didn’t happen for Ava. Look, I really appreciate this gesture, but I just — I — I’m gonna pass. ♪♪ Why did you think I did it? Oh, Cyrus has a hideout, a cabin. You know, and when we got there last night, it was just so clean. It was immaculate. Oh, it was just spotless, and… there was no apparent DNA, nothing out of place. So I thought, you know… of you. Because only someone with your skill could leave a crime scene so clean. Thank you. You know, maybe it wasn’t a crime scene. Maybe Cyrus is on the run after all. [ Sighs ] If the place is that clean, you can almost be certain someone did kill Cyrus and wipe the place after. Yeah, that thought crossed my mind. But if you didn’t kill Cyrus, who the hell did? What’s this? Oh, Uncle Sonny’s covering my trip to see the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He wants you to use the extra money for the trip and whatever else you need. That’s very generous of him. Well, you’ve both been very generous to me my whole life. We’re family. It’s what we do. Still. You know, after my mom passed, you guys stepped in and helped me with my education, with everything I needed, really. I don’t know how I’ll ever be able to repay you. And I know that we’re family, but… you guys just feel a lot closer to me than just cousins. Sonny and I were happy to do it. I mean, we both — we both believe in you and your talent. Yeah. You’re the best kid, Gio. You really are. We love you. You deserve the world. ♪♪ Trina is the only one in my life who doesn’t think that my life is over if I can’t play ball. Nobody thinks that. You don’t, Quinn? Look, at least Trina makes me feel like there is more to me than just football. Just football? Yo, I can’t get behind any girl who’s changed you this much. Let’s just take a break. Let’s reconnect later. Yeah. Cool. I need to get to conditioning anyway. Hey, and Quinn, one more thing. Do not speak on my behalf to Trina again. Yeah, whatever. ♪♪ Don’t get the wrong idea about me and Kai, okay? I’m still not ready to get involved with someone, and it probably won’t even be Kai. I mean, there’s so many girls on campus who’s, like, fawning over him. He just sees me as a friend. [ Cellphone ringing ] Oh. Oh, you should answer that. That might be your “friend” now.

Well, I hope they find him soon. I don’t think that’s gonna happen. Why not? Anna is convinced that someone has already taken care of him. They already have the prime suspect in custody — Jason Morgan. I thought telling Sam’s family about Cyrus would bring them some closure, but it just made it worse. Maybe bringing Cyrus to justice will give them the closure they need. I’m not sure that’s gonna happen. The commissioner is in with Jason now, and she thinks he’s responsible for Cyrus’s disappearance. Thank you. The forensics report’s back. ♪♪ ♪♪ Yeah, what you got? Well, the forensics report came back on the cabin. Okay. No fingerprints. Almost no DNA. Just two hairs. And they already have a match. Good. Who is it? It’s him.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[upbeat music]

It is a good thing I don’t have to take my shirt off on TV anymore, because I think I gained about 5 pounds.

[chuckles] Well, it’s got to be more fun than the, uh– what diet were you doing again, the keto–

Paleo.

Ah, yes.

Mm. And, honestly, not all that bad. For a moment there, I think I was eating more prosciutto than most villages in Italy.

[chuckles] Oh, man. Well, I do hope you saved room for some dessert.

No, no, no, no, no. I’m sorry. I am stuffed.

No, come on. Just–just what if it’s just one little, tiny, teeny, tiny cupcake?

Uh–no, no, no, I’m good. No.

What? Come on. You have to.

I have to, and why is that?

Because… it’s a very special cupcake.

Special cupcake? Uh–

Surprise. [laughter]

Oh, man.

Happy birthday, Alex.

[sighs] [suspenseful music]

[knocking]

Dr. Evans, hi.

Hi there. Come in. Sit down.

Oh.

How was Vancouver?

Oh, it was good. It was awesome. I got some amazing quality time with my mom and my brother, Aaron. And, yeah, it was really nice. Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to go up and check on them before starting as your assistant. But now that I’m back, I am ready to dive right in.

Good. Well, I appreciate your enthusiasm, although it may turn out that both of us are gonna start looking for a new job soon. [tense music]

So what’s up? What brings you by?

Well, I was on one of my therapist-recommended anxiety strolls, and the Spectator office was on my route. So I popped in, and they said you were working from home today.

I am, yeah.

Did you get my message about me coming back to the paper?

I did.

And?

And, uh– yeah, I don’t– I don’t think it’s a very good idea, Leo.

Hi. So sorry I am late. Hey.

I knew Leo Stark would be a bad influence on you.

No, it’s not his fault. Actually, I left with plenty of time, but I just happened to bump into Jada.

Oh. How is she doing?

Not great, especially after the bomb I dropped on her. [suspenseful music]

[crying softly]

Jada? Hey. You all right?

No! No, I’m not. [sniffles] [crying]

What happened? What happened? Is it Rafe? Oh, God. What did he do now?

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

[light music]

[laughs] Happy birthday.

Thank you, Roman.

All right.

Thank you.

[chuckles]

And you are a wild card. You know that, right? I didn’t even think you knew when my birthday was.

Mm, well, a little birdie tipped me off.

Mm. So Bonnie sang like a little canary, huh?

Mm-hmm. And I thought about it for a bit, and I decided, you know what? I’m gonna go with the sneak attack.

Oh.

I’ve seen my mom and dad do it before, so–

That was a very sweet gesture. Thank you.

Oh, wait, you thought it was over? It’s not over yet.

It’s not over?

Nope.

Oh, boy. Come on, Steph.

For you.

You didn’t have to do that.

Just open it, would you?

Are these–

Cufflinks shaped like arrows.

[sighs]

I wanted you to have something to remind you of your time on “Body & Soul.”

How could I ever forget? Steph, if it weren’t for that show, you and I might not even be together. That is the best gift I could ever ask for. Thank you.

Rafe cheated on you? When?

The night before our wedding. Can you believe that? While I was at home, blissfully dreaming of our future together– the house, the kids, the dog, all of it– he was with a stripper, Shawn, the one from his stupid bachelor party.

You’ve got to be kidding me.

I wish I was.

How did you find out?

Javi told me.

Rafe cheated on Jada? No way. This has to be some sort of mistake.

Trust me, it’s not. I caught him red-handed, and on the day of his wedding, no less.

So what you’re saying, you, like, saw?

Yes, I saw Savannah, the stripper from the bachelor party, in his room in nothing but a towel.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Poor Jada. Why didn’t you say anything sooner?

We almost did. Leo and I nearly spilled the beans at the wedding.

Oh, so that’s why you guys interrupted the ceremony?

And then Rafe got that tip about Jada, and the wedding was called off, so we stayed quiet. Figured it was pointless to keep piling on the drama. And then, when I saw her, she was still so torn up about your brother, I figured that it was the right thing to do for her.

I just don’t get it. I mean, when did my brother become such a dirtbag?

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m bored, bored with porn. I need the real thing. Real deal. And I know just who to call.

So that’s it? The hospital is just going to what, board up its windows, put a “for sale” sign out front?

Well, Dr. Johnson is looking into all kinds of possibilities. But what we really need to stay open is a large influx of cash.

OK. Well, if money’s the issue, could we organize a fundraiser?

I don’t understand. Why don’t you want me to come back to “The Spectator”?

Sit. Sit. Look, Leo. After the whole Kerry Youmans fiasco, I think it’s probably just best that we retire the Lady Whistleblower column.

Yeah, I couldn’t agree more.

You couldn’t?

Look, I know that the poison pen of Mr. Youmans has forever tarnished the good name of Lady W. In fact, just today, I ran into one of my fans– Little Whistles, as they’re famously known–and she said–

Leo, your fans?

Yeah.

OK. OK, uh, look. Your fans, got it. OK, uh, I’m just a bit confused because I thought that you said you wanted to come back to work.

I do, but not as Lady Whistleblower. Chadwick, I’ve always considered myself to be very versatile, something of a Renaissance man, sort of like the Talented Mr. Ripley minus the murder and sadism, but keeping in Jude Law and the luscious Italian scenery.

Mm-hmm.

Look, what I’m trying to say is I want to come back to the paper, but this time, as your newest ace reporter. Huh?

Rafe wasn’t always like this, right? But I’ve always thought of him as this total Boy Scout. When did he turn into a slimeball?

I’m as shocked as you are. I mean, I know my brother, and he is not a cheater. Well, not usually.

Has he done something like this before?

Well, there was that time that he cheated on Ava Vitali with Nicole Walker. But Ava is a psycho mafia princess, so in my mind, that doesn’t really count.

A psycho mafia princess? [laughs]

Actually, that wasn’t the only time he cheated. Rafe did sleep with his ex-wife Sami while he was engaged to Hope Brady.

Wow. So he stepped out on yet another fiancée.

It was complicated. They had this huge blowout fight, and he thought that they were over.

Look, I don’t know. I’m picking up on something. Maybe this could have been a blindspot for us. Maybe Rafael has been a slimeball all along.

OK, listen, I’m– I’m by no means excusing what Rafe did, but do you think that maybe, maybe there’s an explanation?

An explanation like what?

Well, we both know that I, um– I did something sort of similar.

You mean when you slept with my sister while you were married to Belle?

Yeah, right. I was in a dark place, and I made a very, very bad decision. I’m just thinking. I mean, is it possible that maybe the same thing happened with Rafe? I mean, did he get really drunk and just make a really stupid choice?

No, I don’t think it was anything like that. According to Javi, Rafe tried to downplay it like it was no big deal at all– boys being boys or some BS like that. Just no remorse at all. None.

Jada, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. You don’t– you don’t deserve this.

Thank you for saying that. [crying]

You know what? Let’s get you out of here. Come on. Let’s–let’s get you home, OK?

All right.

You know what I was thinking? Since Jada is still crashing on my couch–

Yeah?

That, uh, I was wondering maybe– maybe we could hang out at your place tonight.

Hmm.

I could, uh– I could make the birthday boy dinner.

I would love that. I have been meaning to ask you, though, how is Jada holding up?

Oh, honestly, she’s a mess. I mean, not only is she being falsely accused of corruption, but Rafe isn’t even standing by her side.

Oh.

I mean, I’m just itching to give that jerk a piece of my mind.

Uh, excuse me. I’m sorry to interrupt, but I’m on the phone with Will.

Oh, Will. How’s he doing?

Well, he’s doing well, but he wants to know if you have time for a little birthday video chat with Sonny in Arizona.

Of course. Come on. Steph, do you mind?

No. No, no, of course not.

OK.

And you know what? It’ll give me a chance to have that conversation with Rafe.

All right.

So I’ll be right back.

All right. I’ll see you in a bit.

OK.

Hey, Savannah, it’s Ar– I mean, uh, Rafe. Ah, well, thanks, but the, uh– the wedding was called off. [laughs] Yeah, I’m single and ready to mingle. So why don’t you come over here with your hot little behind? We could have some fun. I got the house all to myself.

Well, I like that you’re being so enterprising, but I’m not sure that would raise enough money to save the hospital.

Well, in a way, you don’t need to. I mean, yes, obviously, the goal of a fundraiser is to bring in as much cash as possible. But an equally important goal is to rally public support, to spread awareness. If we get the word out how important it is to the community that we save Salem University Hospital, it could attract the attention of people who could actually really help, people with really deep pockets.

Huh. I like the way you think. I’m going to break for lunch. Why don’t you join me, and we can talk some more about it? Good?

Yeah, I don’t know, Leo.

What? What don’t you know?

Well, I mean, do you have any real experience being a real reporter?

Um, as a matter of fact, I do, aside from my brief internship at the “Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,” where I was fired because the editor thought that the obits I was writing were–and I quote– “a bit too whimsical.” Do you not remember the article I penned last year about Tom and Alice Horton?

Sure, but that was a one-off.

A one-off? Would you tell Emily Bronte that “Wuthering Heights” was a one-off? Chadwick, I am capable of writing more than just salacious gossip. Besides, it can’t be any worse than some of your current reporters. Chadwick, please? Please, all I need is a chance. Let me prove to you that I can be a serious journalist.

OK.

OK?

OK, yeah, we’ll give it a shot.

Ah! Oh, Chadwick!

OK.

Here you go.

Thanks for getting me out of the square. I didn’t need everybody and their mama watching me break down, looking totally pathetic.

No, no, no, no, no. Jada, there’s no way that you could look pathetic. You’re a strong woman who’s just– look, who’s been badly hurt.

That’s very kind of you and very much appreciated. But really, you should go. You’ve done enough.

No. I’m not leaving you. I’m not leaving you, especially not in this condition

No, really, I’ll be fine. I’m just going to cuddle up under the covers, and listen to Adele, and cry myself to sleep.

Um, yeah, somehow, that doesn’t really sound like a very good idea.

You’re right. I’m going to put on Beyoncé, you know, mix a little “Lemonade” with “Renaissance,” and then when I start to feel like my bad bitch self again, I’m going to go and I’m going to find my not so quite ex-husband, and I’m going to have a baseball bat.

Ooh.

I’m kidding. I don’t have a baseball bat. But you probably have one I can borrow, right?

No. No, no, no, no, no. I do not have a baseball bat, OK? I don’t. But, um, I mean, I got– I got a shoulder to cry on if you want.

Oh.

Come here.

Well, this feels good.

I’m glad.

You know, I just can’t help but think that all of this– all of this is my fault, everything that’s happened, this whole nightmare.

How so?

Well, after my disaster of a marriage with Bobby, I promised myself, Shawn, I promised myself that I would never let that happen again. Never again. Never would I be with a man who’s going to treat me bad. At the first sign of a red flag, I was out. For some reason, with Rafe, I missed the flags, all of them.

Why are you being so hard on yourself? This is not your fault. Before this happened, Rafe was– Rafe was a standup guy. Everybody thought so. I mean, come on. I mean, the man had more green flags than a Brazilian soccer match. [laughter] It’s nice to see you laugh.

It’s nice to laugh.

Hey, look at me. There’s no way that you would have ever suspected that Rafe was going to treat you like this, all right? None of us did.

Yeah, but I just– I just feel so naive, especially after last night.

Like, what do you– what do you mean?

I wanted to kiss you, Shawn, but I stopped myself because of my love for Rafe, even after he secretly investigated me, even after he took my job. But now that I know that he was unfaithful to me, any feelings I had left for him, they’re dead. In fact, I don’t see a reason why we should stop what we started last night. [sultry music]

Listen, I know Rafe isn’t a saint. But I feel like his current behavior, something is off. You said he seemed unrepentant, right? Like he didn’t care.

[scoffs] He couldn’t understand why it was such a big deal. Gabi, I looked into this man’s eyes, into his soul, and, like, nothing. He didn’t feel a thing.

I don’t get it. I mean, I know Rafe felt serious regret over how he hurt Hope. Ava, too. And in both cases, those relationships were really rocky. But with Jada, it was just– it was just different. They were so good together. You remember that night that they got engaged, when we went out to the Small Bar to celebrate?

Yeah, I remember. He was, like, glowing.

He was. In all the years I’ve known my brother, I’ve never seen him so happy.

Well, clearly, something has changed, big-time. I just wonder what could have caused it.

OK, this may sound a little far-fetched, but I have a theory. [knocking]

Well, it took you long enough. Oh. It’s you.

Were you expecting someone else?

Uh, yeah, just the, uh, pizza delivery guy. He had to double back for the old garlic knots.

Mm. Well, I don’t want to disturb your lunch, so I’ll make this quick. I came to talk to you about Jada.

Oh, Jada. Yeah, I heard she’s been camping out on your couch.

And she’s a total wreck.

Oh.

Why are you doing this, Rafe? Why are you treating her this way?

What? No, no, no, no. I didn’t tell her that she had to move out.

What was she supposed to do? You left her at the altar, and then you took her job. And on top of that, you haven’t defended her against those spurious accusations.

Well, that’s because there’s a mountain of evidence that says she’s guilty.

Come on. You know Jada. She would never even think about doing anything underhanded.

Well, look, this isn’t really any of your business.

I think it is. Jada is my friend, and I care about her. And I know that you do, too. I just wanna help.

Oh, you wanna help?

Yes, I do.

OK, well, why didn’t you say so?

Is it just me or do Will and Sonny seem happier and more in love than ever?

No, I agree. They’re doing great.

I swear, those two are like relationship goals.

Well, you’re not doing too bad yourself in that department. You and my niece seem very happy now that you’re back together again.

I am a lucky guy.

Yes, you are. I hope you remember that.

Why wouldn’t I?

Look, I’m going to be very frank, Alex. Last time you and Stephanie were together, you hurt her badly. I’m hoping this time around, you’ll be more mindful of her feelings. Think you can do that?

[sighs] Absolutely. I’ve done a lot of work on myself, and Stephanie’s amazing. I know that. I swear to you, she will get all the love and the respect that she deserves.

What the hell was that?

Well, come on. Look, I know you’re Jada’s friend, but you can’t deny that there’s heat between us.

Oh, my God.

Just come on. Give in to your desires.

Oh, my God!

[groans] God!

You disgusting pig!

You–[sighs]

OK, so, before she moved out yesterday, Jada and I were talking. And she was wondering if Rafe’s behavior could be some sort of delayed reaction to his coma.

Delayed reaction to his coma? Is that even medically possible?

At the very least, it’s worth looking into. Look, I just need to convince Rafe to see a doctor, maybe even get an MRI. In case the problem just isn’t psychological, but physiological, maybe there’s a fix.

You think he’d go for that?

Oh, I won’t give him a choice.

[chuckles] Rafe is so lucky to have such a fierce sister. You’re always looking out for him.

He’s lucky to have you, too.

No, I doubt he’ll feel that way once he learns who blew his secret.

Javi, look at me. You did the right thing.

Thanks for saying that. Because I just– I love you both so much, and I don’t want to mess it up.

No, you didn’t. And you couldn’t. Look, I am so grateful that you’re here. I just wish–

What?

Well, I just wish that my angel of a cousin wasn’t dating the devil.

What? [laughs]

Chadwick, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Ah! Ooh, I am champing at the bit to take on my first assignment. Oh, maybe, maybe I can go undercover at that hot yoga studio to see if that gorgeous Greek statue of an owner really is running a hush-hush members-only sex club in the basement.

Where’d you hear that?

From my friend Denise.

Mm-hmm.

She also thinks the moon landing was fake, and sometimes she puts tinfoil over her windows to keep out 5G.

Leo, get some better sources. OK?

OK. Ooh! Maybe I can finally, finally take down Phyllis. She’s that fascist slumlord who runs the Salem Inn. Do you know that every time I go to see her in her office, she is watching the same episode of “How I Met Your Mother”? I’m starting to think that in addition to being a terrible person, she’s completely mashugana.

OK, Leo, I– I need you to listen to me, yeah, really carefully. If you’re going to attempt to be a real reporter here, you’re going to need to uphold a set of journalistic ethics and standards. OK? And before you can uphold them, I think that, for you, you’re going to need to learn what they are.

Yes, yes, journalistic ethics and standards.

Mm-hmm.

Is there a Cliff’s Notes version of that?

Leo.

Chadwick, I’m kidding. Boss, I am kidding. Look, I promise you, I’m going to work my little tush off day and night. I promise you will not regret this! [chuckles]

Hold on. Jada. Jada, wait.

What? Something wrong?

No. No, no, I just– I want to make sure you’re not doing anything that you might regret.

What’s to regret? Rafe and I are very much over.

No, I know that. OK, but you’re upset. And you’re in a vulnerable place right now.

Look, Shawn, I’m a big girl. If you’re worried that you’re taking advantage of me, don’t be. I know exactly what I’m doing.

Yeah, which is just what– getting back at Rafe?

If I’m being real, there is an element of truth to that. But mostly, I am just trying to move on. And since you’ve had your divorce, I think that’s something you’ve been trying to do, too. Unless you still have feelings for your ex.

I think we highlight the personal impact of the hospital on the community, so we’re hearing from real people, real stories of the doctors and nurses who work at Salem University Hospital, how they literally save lives every single day. That’s my thought.

Hmm.

Hey. Why does it seem like I always run into you here?

It’s the–it’s the fries. I can’t get enough of them.

Well, I can’t say that I blame you. Hi, Marlena.

Hello.

Uh, did I hear you were talking about the hospital?

Yes, I’m sure you’ve heard by now that there’s a chance we may be shutting down.

I know. I heard, and I’m so sorry. I mean, that’s so many jobs that are going to be lost.

Well, Cat has a thought about it. Why don’t–why don’t you join us, and she can share her ideas with you? [light music]

Oh. Ow. Welcome to Gabi Chic.

Knock, knock.

Oh, Leo. Oh, my God. You scared me.

What do we have here?

Nothing.

Are you trying on wigs?

No. [stammers] Well, yes.

OK, let’s see.

OK. [clears throat] Ah. If I can get it on–

Oh.

OK. What do you think? Do I work as a blonde?

No. It’s giving me Dollar Tree Heather Locklear.

Oh, bitch. [laughter] What are you doing here anyway?

Well, I come bringing glad tidings. Guess who scored himself a new J-O-B?

Already?

Uh-huh.

Wait. So tell me, does OnlyFans offer health insurance?

Oh, as if. I just came from hitting up my old boss at “The Spectator.”

Oh. No. Please tell me that I’m not dating Lady Whistleblower again.

No! No, I am a legitimate journalist now. Leo Stark, cub reporter.

Leo, that’s amazing! Oh, my God. Reporter?

Mm-hmm.

I’m so proud of you, babe.

Thank you. OK, I’ll get out of all your hair now.

Ha ha. But, before you go, there’s something you should know. After I left your place this morning, I ran into Jada.

And did you–

And I told her everything.

Still have feelings for– no. No, no, no, no, no. Belle and I, we’re done. We’re done. I mean, especially after the, uh–

After the what?

Well, we–we got into a big fight. I confronted her about her relationship with EJ, and clearly, it’s not just a fling. And I know it’s none of my business, but I still felt the need to warn her about him.

I’m guessing she didn’t love that.

No. No, she definitely did not.

Mm. So, if I’m understanding correctly, Belle is doing whatever she wants, and Rafe is doing whatever he wants. I don’t see why we can’t do whatever we want.

Because I–look, obviously, there is a growing attraction here. I just want to make sure. I want to make sure that we’re doing this for the right reasons.

Shawn, look, you’re not just a convenient warm body. OK? We have had a connection ever since we were partners on the force. We had a few hiccups, but, you know, the way you’ve been here for me during this whole entire mess, it’s really making me see you in a whole different light. And, uh, I really feel that there can be something really special between us.

I– I feel the same. So, um, I guess you’re right. I mean, I guess there really isn’t anything holding us back, is there?

Not that I can see.

So– [sultry music]

Oh, damn her! Stupid tease. Gabi. I didn’t expect–

What in God’s name is going on with you, Rafe?

What’s going on? What’s your problem now?

The problem is that you cheated on Jada with a stripper.

Exotic dancer, all right? And how in the hell did you find out?

Javi told me.

Oh, of course. Gossipy little queen.

What did you just call him?

Oh, no, no. Hey, he’s the one that broke the bro code.

I don’t give a damn about bro code. How dare you talk about him like that? Javi’s your cousin.

Yeah, some cousin.

What the hell happened to you, Rafe? What the hell happened to my brother?

Hey, I was just going to message you. How’d it go with Rafe?

Uh, he made a pass at me is how it went.

What?

Yeah. I was giving him a piece of my mind about the way that he’s been treating Jada. And the next thing I knew, he was shoving his tongue down my throat.

I’m gonna kick this dude’s ass. Where is this son of a bitch, Steph? Is he at the house right now?

Alex.

Is he at the house?

No.

No, no. He can’t just do this and get away with it.

He didn’t. I kneed him in the groin.

Good. But still, I’m going over there.

No, no, no, no, no. Alex, just wait a second, OK? Something’s been bothering me ever since I left Rafe’s, and I can’t– I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Well, obviously, something’s bothering you, Steph. This guy just practically assaulted you.

No, it’s not that. I just–I can’t help but feel this strange sense of deja vu.

What do you mean? Has Rafe hit on you before?

Oh, my God. What if it wasn’t Rafe? [suspenseful music]

I think a fundraiser is a great idea.

Good. They’ve been very successful in the past. And you know what? The paper could be very helpful in getting the word out there for us.

Yeah, “The Spectator” could be a key sponsor of the event. [phone dings]

Good. Oh. Oop. Back to the office.

I’ll go with you.

No, that’s OK. Why don’t you stay here and you two can brainstorm? I’ll see you back there.

Thank you.

Yep.

Oh, um. Sorry. I didn’t really expect Dr. Evans to put you on the spot like that.

What do you mean? Why would I be on the spot?

Um, I mean, because I’m– I’m kind of like, the last person in the world that you’d want to be working with, right?

How could it not have been Rafe? You just said–

OK, hear me out. A long time ago, when Rafe was with my cousin Sami, a similar thing happened. I was right here, actually. And–and at the time, I was feeling distressed about my love life. And I ran into Rafe, who was very sympathetic, which was fine. But then he gave me this really inappropriate hug.

So you’re saying Rafe has pulled this crap before?

No. See, that’s the thing. I found out later that it wasn’t Rafe, that, actually, it was this guy named Arnold Feniger.

Would you lighten up with the melodrama? “What happened to my brother?” OK, the last thing I need right now is a lecture.

Oh, my God. Why are you acting like such a total jerk?

And why are you being such a pain in my ass. Right? You’re my sister. You’re supposed to be on my side.

Why would I be on your side? You cheated on your fiancée, who also happens to be a friend of mine. That was a sleazy thing to do.

Yeah, so what if it was? You don’t have to be such a bitch about it.

So you told Gabi and Jada the truth about Rafe?

Do you think that was a bad idea? Should I have kept my mouth shut?

No. Hey, listen, it was completely unfair of your cousin to ask you to keep his dirty little secret. Made you an accomplice. And Jada had a right to know.

Yeah. I guess you’re right. It’s just–you should have seen her face. She was devastated.

Aw. Poor thing. Believe me, I’ve seen my fair share of devastated faces, beginning with my father’s when he discovered my collection of Cher cassettes. But I digress.

You do that a lot.

Well, hey, a little comic relief never hurt anyone, especially when we’re both so sad about Jada.

Yeah, I just– I don’t know. It’s just since my cousin is the one who hurt her, I don’t feel any relief.

I get it. This is really hard for you. But now the question is, since Jada knows the truth about Rafe, what is she going to do about it? [intense music]

Interview with JJ Bailey

TV Interview!

JJ Bailey, co-creator/showrunner of "The Hunting Party" on NBC

Interview with JJ Bailey, co-creator/showrunner of “The Hunting Party” on NBC by Suzanne 2/20/25

This was a nice interview. I always enjoy talking to writers and producers because they know more about the background and creation of a show than the actors do. I was supposed to speak with his co-creator/showrunner, Jake Coburn, but I was told at the last minute that he wasn’t feeling well. It was a short interview, but I asked most of my questions, so I was happy with it. It’s an interesting show, so I hope it gets a second season.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I hope that you do not waste any more tears on my cousin… [dramatic music] Especially because–

Because what?

There’s something that you should know about Rafe.

He cheated on you.

What?

I am so sorry.

No. Uh-uh. No. Rafe has done some seriously messed-up things lately. But he would never be unfaithful to me.

I know it’s hard to believe. I didn’t want to believe it either. But I am telling you the truth. Rafe, he… had sex with someone else.

So let’s go over the ground rules before you eat your breakfast. Now, no biting, no spitting, and definitely no yelling. I have very sensitive ears, and we’re in a remote area, so no one would hear you anyway.

But I heard a woman’s voice earlier.

Oh, yeah, her. Well…[chuckles] She definitely won’t be coming to rescue you.

Why not?

Well, let’s just say that you’re not the only prisoner in this house.

You’re holding someone else here?

We’re just full of questions this morning, aren’t we?

Yeah, you’re damn right I am. Who else is here?

Oh, Ava.

Mm. Oh, God.

[groans] Oh.

Got you, got you, got you, got you, all right?

Brady. Oh, God, Steve. Thank God. Thank God.

It’s OK. Hey, hey. It’s over. It’s over. It’s over.

You have no idea how happy I am to see you. Oh. How’d you guys find me?

Steve was able to enhance the audio on the voicemail that you sent me. And up until now, I couldn’t even understand the end of it.

But once my guy cleaned it up, we knew that Rachel had called you and you were on your way to this address.

Yeah, well, your daughter lured me here. It was part of her grand plan to keep us apart. And when she failed, she stepped up her game.

She stepped–what do you– what do you mean? Easy, easy.

[groans] I mean… Rachel knew. She knew that you never heard my message and that it was all garbled so you didn’t hear me say that I was here. She took my phone, she sent you a text message, and she made you think that I dumped you and went to China.

Wait, wait, wait a minute. Are you saying that Rachel has been holding you captive?

No, that’s– that’s ridiculous. She’s just a little girl. She couldn’t have done this alone.

No. No, she could not have done this alone. But she sure as hell did do this with the help of her grandmother.

Her–Marlena? What?

No, Brady. No, her other grandmother. Kristen’s mother.

Who else are you holding here?

Oh, that’s none of your concern.

You’re in way over your damn head, lady. Yeah, when they find you here, which they will, you are gonna be facing some serious prison time.

Mm.

Be smart. Be smart and let me go.

I’m afraid I can’t do that.

Why not?

Because I made a deal with EJ DiMera, and it’s one I intend to keep. – So this plan you’ve been formulating?

Huh, you know, I assumed this was something I was expecting from DiMera, but now I think it might be exactly what we’ve been waiting for. Hmm.

Ooh! [laughs] Indeed, here it is.

And what is that?

Oh, little brother, this is the answer to our prayers.

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

[dramatic music]

Ava, I don’t understand. See, Kristen’s mother is dead.

[scoffs] Oh, no, she’s not. She is here. She’s creeping around this house all dressed in white.

You’ve seen her?

Oh, I see her three times a day when she brings me my gruel.

Steve, I know what you are thinking, but this is not a hallucination.

Then it’s got to be some kind of trick, OK, because whoever you’re seeing is not Rachel Blake, because she passed decades ago.

Ava, listen, whatever is going on–

Look, I am telling you what’s going on, Steve! I told you Kristen’s Mommie Dearest is alive and well, and she has been holding me hostage in this haunted house!

All right, all right. Take it easy. Just tell us, where is this woman now?

EJ DiMera is the scum of the Earth. There’s no way you can trust him.

Well, unfortunately, I have no choice.

Yes, you do. Yes, you can let me go, and I will help you. I will help you get out of whatever mess it is that you are mixed up in. Look, I don’t know what kind of deal you made with EJ, but I guarantee you he is not gonna hold up his end. He’s just like his father.

Stefano? In what sense?

Every sense. He’s like the second coming of that monster. He’s just as heartless, just as ruthless. He–he’s only out for himself. I’m telling you, Stefano not only raised EJ, but he molded him into his own twisted image.

The answer to our prayers.

Mm-hmm. Amen and hallelujah.

Right, well, I’m going to need you to be a bit more specific.

Well, after we talked last night, I got in touch with Rolf.

I already don’t like the sound of this.

I’d be a little bit more grateful if I were you, EJ. We currently have two very large problems taking up space in my mother’s house. And Rolf maybe, once again, has saved the day.

All right, I’ll bite. What has our favorite mad scientist cooked up for you this time?

You see, this lovely concoction has been around for a while now. It is called CRS-17, otherwise known as our miracle drug.

[siren wailing]

Oh! Hey. Sorry, I didn’t know you were in here. [scoffs] OK.

Something that I can help you with, District Attorney Black?

Hmm, I didn’t realize we were using official titles, Detective Brady.

Well, we are at work.

Well, whatever you’re doing must be really important, because you couldn’t even be bothered to look up and say hello.

As a matter of fact, it is important. Trying to prove your new boyfriend framed Jada.

What? You’re telling me that Rafe had sex with someone else the night before we were supposed to get married?

It happened after the bachelor party.

With who?

Don’t clam up now, Javi, not after you just told me that my fiancé slept with someone else. Who was it? Please tell me! Who did Rafe have sex with?

The stripper.

[dramatic music]

Rafe had sex with the stripper?

I found them together, him and Savannah. That was her name.

OK, what do you mean you found them together?

The morning of the wedding, I went over to the inn to help Rafe get ready, and she was there in his room.

OK, so this Savannah person was in his room. That doesn’t mean they slept together. Maybe she was trying to get paid or something.

No. I paid her the night before at the pub.

OK, but that doesn’t prove anything.

Jada, she came out of the bathroom in a towel. And Rafe gave me this whole song and dance, saying that she only stayed over because she was too drunk to drive home. And he claimed that nothing happened between them.

There was a lot of drinking that night. Maybe he was telling the truth.

He wasn’t. I’m sure of it.

How, hmm? How are you so sure?

Because I told Rafe that I didn’t believe a word that he said and he needed to fess up and admit that he had sex with her. And eventually, he did.

And I wish that I could tell you that he broke down bawling the instant that he came clean, but he didn’t think that it was a big deal. I–I don’t even have words to explain it. Look, all I can say again is that I am so, so sorry. Come here.

Hold it. You found out about this the morning of our wedding?

Yeah.

That was weeks ago. Why am I just hearing about this now?

Well, this would normally be the part where I would tell you that EJ is not my boyfriend. But considering the very obvious foul mood you’re in, I think I’ll save us both the aggravation.

That’s fine by me.

[scoffing] OK. Do you have any evidence to back up your allegations?

Why? So you can go and warn EJ?

Oh, my God. Screw you, Shawn! I would never do that. And yeah, I’m gonna call you by your first name, so deal with it.

OK! Jeez. Calm down.

[scoffing] OK.

Look, and to answer your question, no. No, I do not have any proof that EJ set Jada up. But it’s only a matter of time before I do.

Yeah, well, you do know that the whole “innocent until proven guilty” thing applies to everyone, including EJ.

I’m wondering if you realize how biased you are.

What? Excuse me?

Oh, come on, Belle. We both know that you cannot be objective about a man that you are having sex with.

Oh, I’m familiar with CRS-17. Megan shot us up with it a couple of years ago so we wouldn’t remember why she held us captive in the basement for weeks.

Mm-hmm, and ruin her plans for world domination.

But we were able to remember after Marlena hypnotized us.

Yes, that is right. This drug causes memory loss. I mean, CRS stands for Can’t Remember–

I know what it stands for.

Well, then you also know from firsthand experience, as you just said, that if a person or two people were to be injected with it, then they would forget why they were kidnapped.

But if we use it on Ava and Rafe…

You and I would be in the clear.

EJ’s only loyalty is to himself. And as soon as he gets what he wants, he’s gonna turn on you like the rat that he is. His word means nothing. He will destroy you and your loved ones without a second thought. There’s still a chance. There is. If you let me go, I will make sure that EJ goes down for this. And I will swear that you were forced to do this against your will. All right? What do you say?

No, don’t–don’t look at me like that, Steve. I am not crazy. Rachel Blake was just here.

All I’m asking is, where is she now?

I don’t know. OK, maybe–maybe the old bat saw you two coming and she flew off to her old belfry.

Steve… I swear to you on the life of our son that Kristen’s mother has been holding me captive.

All right. I’ll go search the house.

Be careful.

You don’t believe me either, do you?

You just swore on your son’s life. I believe you.

Good.

Are you–are you hurt? Are you hurt?

I’ll be OK. I’ll be OK.

Kris–Kristen’s mother did this? That is just–it’s–it’s–

Insane. It’s insane.

Yeah.

Yeah. I know this. And it’s taken me learning the hard way that the Blake women– you know, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

[chuckles] I’m– I’m mortified at my daughter’s role in all this. Obviously, her grandmother has been a very bad influence on her.

Yeah. Her grandmother and her mother.

[sighs]

What do you– what do you mean?

Oh, Kristen was in on this.

Are you telling me that Kristen knew that her mother was keeping you hostage here?

Look, not initially, no. But look, when the Woman in White walked in, I thought that Kristen was gonna pass out from shock.

Yeah, I’m sure about that. But how did Kristen know that you were here?

Look, she found my phone and some scrapbook about this place in Rachel’s backpack. She put two and two together.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Brady, what? What is it?

[sighs] The other day, Kristen and I were supposed to take Rachel to therapy together. Kristen went into the other room to get Rachel’s backpack, and then all of a sudden, she got a real bad headache and wanted me to take Rachel alone. She said she was gonna go upstairs and lie down. I bet she came here.

Yeah. Obviously, she didn’t tell you that she found me.

No, she–damn it! I just–I just talked to her about this a couple hours ago. Kristen looked at me dead in the eye, and she pretended to know nothing, even though I told her I was worried about you. I didn’t know where you were. I couldn’t reach you. I can’t believe Kristen actually saw you and didn’t help you get the hell out of here.

OK, well, she wanted to initially, but her mother talked her out of it.

She talked her– how’d she do that?

Because she told her that if she set me free that I was gonna go straight to the cops and then Rachel was gonna get all messed up in this. Look, she did this to protect her kid, but she walked right out that damn door. [dramatic music]

You’re telling me that three generations of Blake women were responsible for you being kidnapped?

Yeah. And one DiMera man.

No, no, no. You mean–

Oh, yeah. EJ. He knew I was here, and he didn’t lift a finger to help me.

Doesn’t this only erase short-term memory?

Yeah, but that’s all we need. It doesn’t matter if Rafe and Ava remember their tumultuous teenage years. We just want to erase anything about them being held captive by you and my mother.

But as I just said, you and I couldn’t remember why we were kidnapped, but we did remember who did it.

Yeah, but this– this is a stronger dose. Rolf assured me he perfected it.

Oh, well, then we have nothing to worry about now.

OK, you know what? You want to be a naysayer? You–you don’t like my idea? Then you propose a better one, EJ.

How dare you accuse me of not being objective about EJ?

I’m just calling it like I see it.

Oh, well, your vision is clouded by your jealousy. And what happened to my personal life being none of your business?

OK, you are making it my business. My boss was fired because she was falsely accused of being corrupt.

And?

And now the DA is turning a blind eye to what couldn’t be a more obvious frame job because she’s literally still in bed with the guy behind it.

So any better ideas?

[sighs]

[chuckles] Yeah, I didn’t think so. Look, EJ, honestly, I don’t love the idea of relying on Rolf either, but this– this is our best shot at coming out unscathed, hmm? I mean, the only other alternative is to get rid of the captives permanently.

No. No. I don’t want to go down that route.

OK, well, then let’s hustle over to Aremid. We jab the PI and the Mob princess before Steve and Brady track them down, hmm?

So will you help me or not?

I’m sorry. The answer is no. I have to think about my daughter and granddaughter.

You keep bringing them up, saying that you’re doing this for your family. How are they involved in this?

No more questions.

So, what, is EJ doing something to them? Is he threatening them? Is that why you’re helping him? Please! Please, just tell me what the hell is going on so I can get out of here and back to the people I love.

Why didn’t you tell me that Rafe slept with that skank as soon as you found out?

I wanted to, but he begged me not to.

Seriously?

I hated it. I hated every minute keeping this from you.

But yet you did it anyway.

But Rafe was, like, bullying me into these arguments, saying that it wasn’t my secret to tell and that what you didn’t know wouldn’t hurt you.

[sighs]

I–I know. I know. But then he pulled the family card and said that family is supposed to look out for one another. And next thing I know, I’m promising him that I’m gonna keep my mouth shut.

God knows that I’ve covered for my sister more than once, so I understand why you didn’t tell anyone.

I did tell Leo.

What? Wait, Leo Stark knows about this?

I ran into him when I was leaving the inn, and I was just so angry and so upset that it just sort of came out.

Great. So now Leo has a nice juicy column for his gossip piece.

No, no, no, no, no. Leo would never do that. In the moment, he was just being a good friend. Jada… I was so torn that when the ceremony started, I still didn’t know what to do.

Wait, is this why Leo stood up when Paulina asked if anyone had any objections?

He knew that the secret was eating away at me, and so he was gonna say something.

That’s kind of considerate of him. But then you stood up and you said that you had something to say.

Because I realized that I had to tell you. But then Rafe stopped the wedding before I could.

Yeah, then he ruined my life with all those trumped-up allegations. God. You know, every time I feel like your cousin can’t do anything more to hurt me or humiliate me any more, he finds a way to prove me wrong.

I know how EJ operates. Oh, he has you thinking that you have to go along with him. But it’s not true, OK? I can get you out of this.

You know something? You talk too much.

What? No, no, no, no, no. No, please, don’t. Don’t–please, don’t do it. Don’t, please! Please. [groans]

Well, I’ll be damned. Ava wasn’t seeing things. You must be the infamous Rachel Blake.

What do you mean still in bed with him?

Come on, Belle, you can drop the act, all right? I know.

You know what?

I know that you lied to me when you said that your hookup with EJ was just a one-time thing.

Well, actually, I didn’t lie, because when I told you EJ and I were together once, it was the truth. And you know what? Why does who I sleep with have anything to do with you? We’re divorced, remember? And please, please, please, please save me all of this BS about being biased. You know me. You know I would never compromise an investigation because of my personal life.

I thought that I knew you. Apparently not.

So how did you know that EJ and I are still seeing each other?

Jada told me. [dramatic music]

I hope that you know that I didn’t tell you this to add to your pain. When you asked me what it would take to get over Rafe, I thought knowing this might help.

Knowing that he’s a bigger pig than I thought.

The way Rafael treated you was shameful.

You know, I had a dream this morning. I had a dream that Rafe, he was asking for me back. He wanted me back. He said that he loved me and he wanted to marry me. He even got down on one knee with your mother’s ring. But… even after all of the outrageous behavior that Rafe did, I was still holding out hope that we would get through this.

I don’t know, but after speaking to you, it’s clear that we’re not gonna get through it. It’s not gonna happen. Rafe and I, we’re over.

We’re done. [phone beeps]

It’s just Gabi. She needs me at the office.

You should go. You should go.

No, no, no, no, no. If you want to keep talking, I can just text her back and tell her that I’m running late.

No, really, really. I’m fine. I’m fine.

[grunting] [tense music]

You’re hiding out in the attic?

This is my house, and I’ll do in it what I wish. Now, who are you, and what are you doing here?

The name’s Steve Johnson.

Well, Mr. Johnson, why are you trespassing?

The woman you had hogtied downstairs is the mother of one of my sons.

I see.

So you gonna come willingly, or do we have to do this the hard way?

So EJ was here. How the hell does he figure in all this?

I don’t know. But he seemed genuinely surprised to find me gagged and bound. At first, I thought that he was gonna help me. [sighs] And then he didn’t. I don’t know, he just– he left.

What a bastard. I wonder if this was his idea of revenge for what happened to Susan.

Look, EJ hates my guts. There’s no question about this. But I don’t think this has to do with his mother. I think it has to do with Kristen’s.

Why would you say that?

Because Rachel Blake asked to speak to him outside in private. And so whatever she said must have turned him onto her side, because he never came back.

Well, what could she possibly have said to him?

I don’t know. You know what? You’re gonna have to ask the kidnapping granny, if Steve ever finds her. [footsteps tapping] Oh.

Found her.

Why would Jada bring up my sex life with you?

She didn’t bring it up. I did. I told her I didn’t believe you when you said EJ was just a one-time thing, and she confirmed my suspicions.

And how the hell did she do that?

She ran into you at the DiMera house. She figured your whole story about being there to visit Johnny was a load of crap. And you know what? She was right.

Well, gee, Detective, I would think you would have better things to investigate than whose bed I’m in.

How could you do it, Belle? Jada went to bat for you with the mayor. She’s the reason why you were named DA. And this is how you repay her, by–by sleeping with the guy that manufactured the evidence that ruined her life?

You don’t know that EJ did that.

Do you even hear yourself right now? The man is a vile, vindictive snake, and he’s coming after you next.

Oh, my God! I am so sick of your holier-than-thou commentary on my taste and my judgment and my professionalism when it’s you who’s throwing around unfounded accusations, convicting a man without even a shred of evidence.

Deep down, you know that I’m right. EJ is behind this.

Oh, please. You hate EJ, so you want to blame him for everything that goes wrong in this town.

We both know that if anything bad happens in Salem, there’s an extraordinarily high chance that EJ is involved. It’s either him or his crazy sister. [dramatic music]

Ava?

She’s gone.

Well, did she escape?

How the hell would I know? Where’s your mother?

Mother! Mother, are you here? She’s gone too.

Oh, my God. I’m gonna have to go check on Rafe.

Oh, what is going on here? Where did everybody go?

How you doing? Are you cold? Do you want–I can get you a blanket. Want my jacket?

OK, Brady, I keep telling you I am fine. Look, we don’t even need to be here. I told you, Kristen’s mother didn’t hurt me.

I would just feel better if the doctor checked you out, OK? And hey, until then, call your son, ’cause I’m sure he’d love to hear from you personally that you’re OK, thanks to his dad.

And you.

So not only am I biased and incompetent, but I’m also a bad friend?

Hmm, I would throw crappy sister in there too.

Oh, well, since we’re on the subject of sisters, shall we discuss Talia Hunter?

Yeah, bring it. Fine.

OK. Yeah, I would love to.

Excuse me. Excuse me. You think you two can stop arguing long enough to book this woman for kidnapping?

Who is she?

Well, this is the Woman in White, aka Rachel Blake, aka Kristen DiMera’s mother.

Ah. Oh, thank God. Ugh, quite a number of stairs to get up here. [sighs] OK. All right.

Mm!

Oh, here, let me– let me help you with that. There we go.

What’s that, another sedative?

Oh, no, old chap. It is something quite a bit stronger.

What are you gonna do? You gonna kill me? Is that your plan?

[chuckles] No. Heavens, no. I’m simply going to wipe out your memories.

No.

Why the resistance, Rafael? Surely this hasn’t been a pleasant experience for you. Just look on the bright side. I give you one little– well, not-so-little shot, and you’ll forget this whole sordid affair.

You’re gonna use that to wipe out my memory?

It really is what’s best for everyone. [tense music]

Don’t do it, EJ.

Ah, bup-bup-bup-bup-bup. You won’t feel a thing. Ready? On the count of three. One, two, three!

Drop it!

Like hell! [grunts]

Jada?

[sniffles]

Hey, you all right?

No. No, I’m not. [sobs] [dramatic music]

So… Shawn took off pretty quick after he booked Rachael Blake, huh?

Sure did.

You want to talk about it?

You know, we’re just getting the hang of being divorced. So is that really Kristen’s mom?

Apparently she is.

Huh. So for all these years, she’s been alive, and now she’s been holding Ava in Aremid?

Pretty wild, huh? I’m just glad Brady and I got there before it was too late.

I am sorry that you were so worried. But I promise you, Tripp, I am totally fine. Yes, I will still ask the doctor those questions. Yes–yes, yes, and I will– I will–I will call you again later today. Yeah. Yeah. OK, all right, honey. Just please give Wendy a hug from me, and– OK. I know. I love you too. All right. Ciao. [sighs] Thank you, Brady. For everything.

Well, just grateful we found you.

Yeah, I’m grateful you found me, too, and you showed up when you did, because God knows what that lunatic would have done, especially with Kristen and EJ’s help.

[sighs] [tense music] [both grunting]

EJ! No!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What do you mean you had a baby? Are you talking about Bailey Lou, when you pretended to be pregnant? This wasn’t pretend. I got pregnant in high school, I had the baby, and I gave it up for adoption. You never told me. I never told anyone except Ma. I never even told the father. What about your own father? Did you tell Ned? No. Wow. I know this is a lot to take in. So hold on. You got — You got pregnant when you were a teenager, and you’ve been carrying this secret ever since. Sasha, I would like to go over the menu for the hospital board dinner, and I’d like a cup of tea. Your special blend? Yes, please. Sure. You got it. But, um, first, I thought you should know that a P.I. is snooping around, and I’m pretty sure she’s trying to dig up dirt on Michael. What makes you say that? I had an encounter with a woman, Elaine, and her dog outside of Bobbie’s, and then again at the park. And eventually she told me herself who she was and that someone was looking into me. And what did you tell her before you knew who she was? You, of all people, walking into my house demanding peace. I want to respect Sam’s wishes for Danny and Scout to grow up together. And that’s never going to happen, because we’re constantly at each other’s throats. So I’m calling for a truce for the kids. So now you want to honor Sam’s wishes? That’s right. Oh, no, I’m just asking because clearly, you didn’t care about Sam or what she wanted when you ambushed me the night before the funeral. So, Jason, I’m just — I’m just trying to figure this out. Like, what’s changed? We were able to stabilize Lucky, but he’s in guarded condition.

Guarded?

What does that mean? We gave your dad medication to counteract the digitalis overdose. But since we don’t know exactly how much he was injected with, it’s too soon to give a definitive prognosis. Well, that’s bad, right? That just means they can’t say anything yet. That’s just code for Dad might not make it. ♪♪ Hang in there, Lucky. You made it all the way home from Africa in one piece. Now you got to make it through this. They’ve tracked Cyrus’s car to Route 41. Where’s that? We’ve got people en route? We do, yes. Um, there’s a lot of ground to cover. Why would he be heading in that direction? There’s nothing out there. No, there isn’t. You think Lucky’s gonna be okay? I don’t know. I mean… Yeah, I hope so. I’m just grateful that Elizabeth wasn’t hurt, you know? I don’t get it. Why would he go after Elizabeth, of all people? Because he found out that she and Lucky were asking questions here and at Turning Woods. And he… He didn’t want them to connect him to the murders. Did they connect him? Yeah. There’s, uh — There’s evidence that proves that he purchased digitalis. And beyond that, he confessed. He confessed to who? Elizabeth. Dante, he admitted to killing Dex and Sam. Among others, yeah. You were right. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Because we got him. Yeah, we did. And he knows that because if he doesn’t want to spend the rest of his life in prison, he’s got to disappear. Well, he can run. But there is no way that bastard can hide. ♪♪ Hand me the weapon. ♪♪ I checked already. He’s dead. Yes, he is. He tried to attack me. He was going to kill me. I know. I was outside when it happened. What? Did you call anyone else? No. Just you. Good. Then we still have a small window in which to clean this up. I’m sorry, shouldn’t we contact the police? Well, we could contact the authorities. Or we can take care of this ourselves. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ I am so sorry I never told you. It was just such a strange time. When I realized that I was pregnant, I was terrified. I didn’t know what to do. I knew I wasn’t ready to be a mom. Of course not. You were just a kid. I can only imagine how scared and alone you felt. Well, at least I had my mom. Lois stepped up? Big time. She was incredible. I mean, she wasn’t thrilled that I got pregnant in the first place, but once the initial shock wore off, she was in my corner 100%. I’m glad to hear that. Though I’m not surprised. Was it hard, you know, to decide? About what to do, you mean? Terminating the pregnancy didn’t really feel like it was an option for me at the time, so I knew I was going to be having the baby. The decision not to keep it, I came to it pretty quickly. I don’t know, there was just no way. No, no, I get it. Once I came to that decision, I just knew that the rest of my family could never find out. I was already so overwhelmed. The last thing I needed was the judgments and opinions of my family. So I went on tour with my mom for five months, had the baby, went back to my life. Mom made all the arrangements. So I assume it was a closed adoption. I never even saw my baby. I was afraid if I had, I wouldn’t be able to give it up. So you don’t even know if it was a boy or a girl? No. Brook Lynn, that must have been insanely hard for you, especially at that age. What? Oh, it’s just… Aren’t you angry with me? Isaiah: I wish I could promise that your dad’s going to be okay, but we just don’t know yet. He’s in ICU, being closely monitored in case the tachycardia returns. They’re doing everything they can for him. And we all know how strong Lucky is, right? The absolute strongest. I’m sorry for freaking out on you before. I get it. Lucky is the best friend I’ve ever had. Dr. Gannon, would it be possible for someone to sit with him now? Absolutely. Why don’t you guys go first? Um, we’ll wait here and, uh, just tell him that we love him. Okay? Okay. Thanks. Come on. I’ll take you to his room. [ Sighs ] Lucky’s gonna be okay. I know he will. He will survive Cyrus. Just like you did. Danny and Scout are siblings. They just lost their mom. Yeah, I’m aware. They need to be together, Drew. Which means we have to work together. But you don’t play well with others. Unless, of course, they’re career criminals. I get it, you don’t like how I live. I don’t like how you live. It doesn’t matter. All that matters is that we make this okay for the kids because they’re family. Oh, right, because everybody knows you’re all about family. I told Elaine my approximate due date. That’s it. I’m not sure what she was looking for exactly, but I assumed that she was working for Willow’s lawyer. Good guess. I just thought you should know that somebody is being investigated. Uh, um, thanks for the intel. You’re welcome. You’re holding something back, I can tell. [ Chuckles ] Ah, yeah. I’m known for that. Say it. I promised I wasn’t going to ask you any invasive questions. But you have one. If that baby is Jason’s, are you planning on getting married? Okay, I get it. You want to know if I’m looking to make this child an official Quartermaine? Well, just let me know if you turn up anything useful. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. All right. That’s smart. Yeah. Sending units to Pentonville. Cyrus was in there a long time. He had to have made some connections. Yeah, I was just thinking maybe one of his former associates could tell us maybe where he might go. Because the longer we are without a lead, the less likely we are to track him and bring him in. Did Elizabeth say why Cyrus killed those patients? I think it was like some kind of divine mission or something to release them from suffering. And from what I can tell, he’s been doing it since he left prison. That just doesn’t make any sense. Dex and Sam were healthy people. Why target them? They got in his way. ♪♪ How’s he doing? He’s holding his own. That’s good news. I’ll let you two have some time alone. Okay. [ Monitors beeping, respirator hissing ] Lucky, I’m here. And so is Aiden. You need to hang on and come back to us, okay? I’m going to say it again when you open your eyes, but thank you for saving my life tonight. You did it, Dad. Mom’s safe. Now you just have to wake up. I’m sorry, don’t we have to call the police? Where did you get the gun? It’s Dex’s. It was Dex’s. Everybody knows how much I hate Cyrus. Everybody knows that I think he killed Dex. And now I killed him with Dex’s gun. Who’s gonna believe that that’s self-defense? Well, coming to the cabin with a gun does imply intent. But you know what happened. I wasn’t in the room when you shot Cyrus. Technically, people could say I didn’t see it. You don’t believe me? I do. But in a court of law, it won’t hold up. Look, I can take care of this, Josslyn, but once the WSB is involved, no one can know what happened here tonight. Not even your mother. Now, can you do that? If not, we call the police right now. ♪♪ I can do it. I’ll stay quiet. We’re leaving. Wait, but my — my fingerprints, my — Now. And if anyone asks, you were never at this cabin. Do you understand? ♪♪ Ever since I learned that we were twins, my entire life, my whole life has hinged on one moment. What if Susan Moore brought me back to Port Charles instead of you? I would have grown up with Monica and Alan. I would have lived a life of luxury with the Quartermaines, but instead I got Betsy Frank, I got a group home, and I’ve been on my own since I was 18. I had no control over that. I would have loved to have what you had and never appreciated. Hurting our parents, breaking their hearts over and over again. No need for anything Quartermaine. Are you done? I’ll — This is my house. I’m going to tell you when I’m done. Now you want back in the family after I’ve come home and I’ve made a place for myself here? You even took the Q name, and now you want to come back? That’s perfect, Jason. It’s perfect because you and the Quartermaines, you can have each other. I’ll be over here with my daughter. So you’re okay with Scout losing Sam, Danny, and Rocco all at once? It breaks my heart what Scout’s going through. But I am her father. And I will do what’s best for her. Always. Hey. Yes. Any luck? So I ran the alias Paul Damascus by the DEA. No hits. Cyrus has never used that name before. But when I was reviewing the DEA’s list of Cyrus’s associates, a name jumped out at me. Gatlin. Cyrus has a connection to a Gatlin family based in Pautuck. Like a deep connection? It goes back decades. There was an Austin Gatlin-Holt, wasn’t there? He was shot dead in 2023 in Pautuck. It was never solved. Right. And it seems the doctor had several properties in Pautuck. Okay. Thank you, Jordan. Yes, I need a list of any or all properties southeast of Port Charles that are either rented or owned by a Dr. Austin Gatlin-Holt. Did anybody see us come in? No. There’s a bathroom down the hall. You should shower. Wash away any evidence. Leave your clothes, jewelry, phone, anything you brought with you with you into the cabin. Leave it in the bathroom. What do I wear home? There’s change of clothes for you in there. Josslyn, can you handle this? Yeah. Go. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ [ Knock on door ] Colette: It’s me. Come in. I got your message. Cyrus Renault is dead. What the hell happened? ♪♪ ♪♪ Cyrus: Samantha and Dex got in the way of my mission, and now you have too, and I can’t allow that. ♪♪ Miss Jacks had a gun I wasn’t aware of. But it’s fine. She only called me. We can still clean this up. Not as easily as you think. Renault attacked Elizabeth Baldwin and Lucky Spencer earlier tonight. Spencer is in the hospital, and now there’s an APB out on Renault. Bets on how long it’s going to take Anna Devane to find that cabin? Lulu: You need to tell me something? Okay, you know how I told you that, um, Cyrus visited you when you were in Silver Water? Yeah, it was too creepy to forget. Tonight, he told Elizabeth that he had — he had plans to “free” you from your coma. AKA kill me. Yeah, and something went wrong, and it only affected your liver. Wait, Cyrus caused my liver failure? Yes. I’m very sorry. I’m so sorry. Why are you sorry, Mom? Because he’s my brother. Oh, not exactly your fault. I know, I know that, but in retrospect, I can see now that he always had this sort of strange fascination with you. Look, no one could have predicted he would do something like this. He’s a very sick man. But, Lulu, if you hadn’t woken up when you did, oh, my God, we would have lost you. Hey, Dad. It’s been really cool having you home. Made me realize how much I miss you, even if I couldn’t admit it. Thanks for showing up and being on my side. Just thanks. Thanks, I guess. Oh, and Grandma and Aunt Lulu want you to know that they love you. And we all think you’ve gotten enough beauty rest now, so you can come out of this. Yeah, Dad. You have to wake up. You just have to. ♪♪ [ Alarm beeping ] You’d really keep Scout from her brother? Scout’s got me. She’ll have Willow and her kids. That’s all the family that she needs. She’s certainly not going to get anywhere near the Quartermaines. What, because you got your feelings hurt? No, because they’re terrible people. I did everything I could to fit in. I did everything I could to keep that family going. And the second that I do something for myself, they can’t turn their backs fast enough on me. Why? Because I fell in love with the wrong woman? Compared to what they’ve done? And you, a murdering hit man, but you’ll always have a home. You’ll always have a place at the fire. You’re making a huge mistake. I don’t think so. Quartermaine name, check. Quartermaine money, Well, that’s in the bank. I don’t need the people and the headaches that go along with it. Now I’m done. Get out of my house. ♪♪ I am not discussing my personal life with you. Good. So then you get to just listen. You did not get knocked up by some random guy in a bar. Your one-night stand was with a Quartermaine. Allegedly. Okay. Allegedly a Quartermaine. And not just any Quartermaine. The family favorite. Not yours. Oh, absolutely not. Jason wanted nothing to do with this family for years. But my mother adored him, as does Monica. He can do no wrong in their eyes. How many times do I have to say it, Tracy? I don’t want or expect anything from this family. And what does this family expect from you? What happened to supporting my right to make decisions for my own baby? I do, but we cannot keep going ahead with this baby is exclusively yours. Especially now that it’s Quartermaine. Brook Lynn, mad at you? It’s just the opposite. I hate that you’ve had to keep this secret for so long. And I hated keeping it from you. I didn’t let myself think about it anyway. You didn’t? I sort of trained myself not to. You compartmentalized. Yeah. I put it in this little box and rarely took it out. That makes sense. How else were you supposed to move on? My baby was with me for nine months. 10, technically. I loved him or her so much. I just wanted to give them the best life possible. You really have no idea where they went? No. But I trust my mom. I know she worked with an agency to find it a good home. Yeah, for sure. Chase, I’m so sorry for lying. Hey, show me the lie. I’m serious. All you did was keep a part of your past private. Just because we’re married, it doesn’t mean you have to share every little thing that happened to you. This wasn’t little. Maybe not, but it is yours. And you get to choose who you share it with. I never want to keep anything from you again. So if you have any questions, just ask. I just want to know one thing. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ So Anna is not aware of the cabin? Not yet, but it’s just a matter of time. Have you been monitoring the PCPD’s radio? Renault’s car was spotted on Route 41, but now the police know what direction to look in. And it’s not like that area is densely populated. That cabin will give them very few options to look at. And then there’s the shooter. I mean, do you honestly think that Josslyn’s going to be able to keep quiet about this? She’s just a kid, Jack. She’s going to want to tell someone. You let me worry about Josslyn. Your job is to get a team to that cabin before Anna finds it. A total cleanup? With one exception. Starting compressions. Is he dying? Dad!

Elizabeth.

I know, I know, I know. They need room to work.

Save him.

Charge to 200. Come on, come on, come on. Clear! [ Paddles thump ] Dr. Gannon said that my body’s reaction to the liver transplant could be why I woke up after four years. Right. So if Cyrus hadn’t tried to kill me, I probably wouldn’t be awake right now. I guess you’re right. And if I hadn’t needed the transplant, Sam would still be here. Honey, we’ve been through this so many times, you can’t let yourself think like this. You are not responsible for Sam’s death. That is all on Cyrus. And I don’t care what kind of crazy savior story he was telling himself. He was killing people. So if you need to point the finger — I know. But it’s just — No buts. No, you put the blame where it belongs, on Cyrus and the people who he paid off or he blackmailed so that he could get out of prison, because he never should have been let out.

What’s wrong?

Lucky’s heart stopped again.

No.

He’s in V-fib. I think Dad’s dying. Portia: Clear! Damn it! Come on, Lucky, don’t do this. Come on. ♪♪ ♪♪ Have a seat. ♪♪ So what happens now? Did you tell anyone where you went tonight? No. Did you tell anyone the address? No, I didn’t tell anybody. And why did Colette give me that address? You set all this in motion when you asked me for the satellite footage from Rice Plaza. When I was looking for the person who killed Dex? That was strategic thinking on your part. That got me nowhere. The footage was gone. No, it wasn’t. Your instincts were spot on. I don’t understand. You knew that Cyrus killed Dex this whole time? You didn’t go to the police? I wanted to see what you would do. You can ask me anything. Are you okay? That’s your one question? I can’t imagine going through something so huge at that age. When I was in high school, my biggest stressor was, am I going to make varsity or not? And you had to choose a future not just for you, but for your child. You are amazing. Do you know that? Here I was already thinking you were so strong and I didn’t even know the half of it. Come on, Lucky, you never quit on me before. Don’t quit now. Come on. You want to go see Lulu? Find out how Lucky’s doing, maybe? What, now? No. You put me back on the case. We got a location on Cyrus. I’m there. Yeah, I said you could work the case, but I didn’t say that you could personally apprehend Renault. Anna, what do you think I’m gonna do, go rogue? Kill the guy instead of bringing him in? Well, it’d make sense if you were tempted. Yeah, okay, well, I did, I was, I thought about it, but, uh, death is too easy and out for this guy. I will follow protocol. [ Cellphone rings ] Okay. Yeah. Okay. 201 Tuthill Road, Oxbow. Great. Good work. Thank you. I will send units and we will be right there. Tuthill Road. Yeah. That’s off Route 41. Okay, we got to go now. Yeah. Hey, uh, keep us posted on Lucky. Yeah. Will do. Good luck. Lucky, is he — We got him back. He is stable.

Oh, thank God.

He’s gonna be okay? I told you your Dad was strong. Thank God. Keeping your private life private in this house is starting to feel impossible. Whoa! Starting to? That’s funny. Look, you can keep playing your who’s the daddy game all you want, but I’m inclined to believe my friend Cody. Oh, my God. Fine. Yes, Jason is the father. Happy? I am so done with this day. Good night. Well, I guess congratulations are in order. You knew that Cyrus killed Dex, and you did nothing? On the contrary, I fed you clues. You followed them. Are you playing some sort of game because you’re into my mom? This has nothing to do with Carly. You’re special, Josslyn. It’s clear to me you have all the qualities necessary to make a great agent. Ingenuity, initiative, mental and physical fortitude. You’re willing and able to do what’s necessary. Necessary for what? For the WSB. I want you to become one of us. You’re truly not upset? Because if you were, I would totally understand. Brook Lynn, stop! Did you really think that I would be? Yeah. So many of our past problems were because of me lying to you. This just felt like another one of those times. I already told you that I do not consider this a lie. But I am curious. Why? Why would you tell me now? Because you’re beating yourself up over me not being able to get pregnant naturally. I just couldn’t stand it anymore. Okay, so once the secret had bearing on our relationship, you told me. I just hope you know you can tell me anything. I know. I just kept this buried for so long. Well, thank you for sharing such an intimate part of yourself. I love you. Chase, I trust you with my life. Right back at you. ♪♪ Dr. Robinson, I can’t thank you enough. Oh, Lucky still needs to be monitored very closely. But as of now, the danger has passed. Oh, thank you. Thank you for saving my dad’s life. Well, I had a lot of help. Dr. Gannon refused to give up. And I want to thank him, too. Not cool making me sweat like that. I guess you wouldn’t be you if you weren’t a colossal pain in the ass, huh? Thank you, Lucky. I don’t know what I’d have done if we’d lost you. You’re not planning on moving out, are you? This is Danny’s home. He needs stability right now, and I’ll do whatever it takes to give it to him. I know this living situation wouldn’t be your first choice, or your second, or your third for that matter. And I’m glad you’re prioritizing Danny, because it shows your loyalty to this family. Because we are your family. And despite the past, Jason, you are one of us. Not one you’re going to want around. Drew is coming for me. So this was all a setup? You get me to kill Cyrus so you can hold it over my head so that I join the WSB? I didn’t know you had access to a gun. Did anyone else? No. And you brought it with you why? To protect myself, obviously. Which you did. That doesn’t make me a spy. Oh, but it does, Josslyn. You don’t look to others to shield you. You shield yourself. And not by hiding. By acting. Tell me what happened in the cabin. I found all of the patient ID bracelets. I saw how many people Cyrus had killed. One of them was Dex. And then? And then Cyrus was going to attack me with a hatchet. So I shot him in self-defense. So if Renault didn’t attack, you wouldn’t have pulled the trigger. I don’t know. Well, it’s a good thing we didn’t call the police then. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪

PCPD!

Hands where I can see them! Now I feel stupid for not telling you sooner. You told me when you were ready. I sure wasted a lot of time worrying about how you’d react. How come? Do you judge yourself for the decision? For the decision. Letting it happen in the first place. For all of it. What if giving up my baby didn’t give it a better life? Do you want to try to find him or her? I don’t know. Have you ever tried? No. I mean, I’ve thought about it, of course, but wouldn’t it be unfair to just crash into my child’s life after letting them go? Having you in their life would only make it better. Trust me. Look, it’s 100% your decision. But if you decide to try to find your child, I’ll help you in any way I can. Drew’s coming after all of us. I can only assume that he is the one that convinced Willow to hire the P.I. Yeah, to find something to use against Michael in the divorce. I mean, Drew blames the whole family for turning against him. Which makes Drew the enemy. And I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but I am so glad you’re here. We need you. Welcome home, Jason. We’re all here, Dad. Yeah, honey. Mom’s here. Hey. Hey, big brother.

Hey.

We love you. And we can’t wait for you to wake up. So hurry it up, would you? Patience is not my strong suit. I heard you saved another life tonight. Yeah. Congratulations. That was a close one. Lucky wasn’t responding to the defibrillator. I thought we were going to lose him. Well, I think I speak for all of Lucky’s loved ones when I say I am grateful you fought so hard for your friend. I’m just grateful Lucky’s too stubborn to die. The surrounding area is clear. Yeah, you know what? Expand the radius. Okay, aside from everything being completely dust-free, it doesn’t look like anyone inhabited this cabin. There’s literally no sign of anything. No. Hey, um, get forensics here A.S.A.P. If Cyrus was in this cabin, he would have left something behind. And we’re going to find what it is. What about all the evidence at the cabin? Taken care of. Even if I don’t accept your offer? Even if. But I strongly urge you to consider it. You would make one hell of an agent, Josslyn. But as far as tonight is concerned, you need a story. Buy yourself a new phone. Say you lost yours. I had your car driven here from the cabin. Can you drive it home? Yes. We’ll be in touch. ♪♪ She gets to walk out of here just like that? Yes.

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

[mellow music plays] I’m so happy you’re home. [Finn exhales] Yeah, I know, it’s just been, uh, too many double shifts lately. [forced laugh]

Steffy: Well, I really missed you. I missed you too. Well, I just– I just realized I finally get to hear. Hear? Whatever it is you wanted to tell me the other day but you didn’t want it to get in the way of our celebration. Some big news? Yeah. Um… there’s some-some news, and it’s, um… life-changing. Oh, please tell me there’s an update. On the AC? Unfortunately, no. And this kind of thing doesn’t usually happen, but with my house manager gone– That’s fine. I’ll take no AC in a mansion any day over where I was before. This is so much more comfortable than being in a prison. It’s where my mom and everyone else still thinks I am.

Finn: We can “what if” this to death trying to guess what Steffy’s gonna do, but the only way that I’ll know for sure is if I go home and tell her what’s going on. That Luna’s my daughter. Oh. I was told a patient was waiting for me. Didn’t expect my sister. Something wrong? What is it, Penelope? What’s going on? Oh, well, well, well. What are you doing here? Hopefully getting my old job back? [inhales] We know what you did. It was a momentary lapse in judgement. And, thankfully, I’ve been released after time served. Uh, a deepfake, Remy? AI-generated nudes? That’s…that’s some pretty sick stuff. I thought that Electra Forrester was supposed to be your friend. You really gonna let me have it too? No. Because I’m really in no place to judge. What are you saying? You’re no saint either? Let’s just say I’ve had my moments. But look, see? I am reformed. Does that mean you’ll give me another chance? I would. But Deacon… I don’t think so. You don’t think Deacon would give me another chance? [small laugh] Remy… you know who Electra’s boyfriend is, right? Will Spencer. Hope’s cousin. Hope, as in Deacon’s daughter. No, sweetheart, you’re outta luck. Sheila, I really don’t wanna go back to Texas. I-I need to find something to keep me in LA.

Oh, great.

What? Well, happy hour is over.

Huh?

That’s Will’s dad. He kills the moment. He always kills the moment. Are you sick, Penelope? Is that why you’re here? No. Not physically. What does that mean? You know what? It’s-it’s nothing. Just-just ignore–ignore me. Um, I’m just not, um, I’m just not in a good place. I think I know why. Because of Luna.

Steffy: Life-changing? Whatever it is, it’s obviously weighing on you. Something to do with a patient? Uh, no. It’s-it’s personal. About my past. About a-a woman from my past. [edgy music plays] I have a takeout order. Today would be great. Wow. More angry than usual. Well, if you must know, the AC is out and… in this heat wave, that really irritates me. You’ve got money, so why don’t you get it fixed? As a matter of fact, I have made a ton of calls. Everyone is booked for weeks. Have you replaced the filters?

Bill: I don’t replace filters, all right? I have somebody who does that. I’m a busy man. But my house manager… isn’t available at the moment. Well, I-I’d be happy to help. What, you’re an AC guy? Well, I’m from Texas. It’s hot there. We’re all AC guys. I got you. You should hire him, Bill. I mean, he did great work here. Very handy. I’m sure you’d be in great hands with…Dario. Well, uh, normally, Shiela vouching for you would automatically get you crossed off the list. But I am desperate. Uh, I assure you I can do the job. I have to handle something. I’ll think about it. Why did you do that?

And who’s Dario?

You are. “Remy”? I’m sure that that’s on Bill’s radar as some sort of a-a freak. I’m sure Will’s told him everything. [whispering] That is Bill Spencer over there. He’s one of the wealthiest men in Los Angeles. That could be the opportunity that you’re looking for. Dario. [heavy music plays] Hope you know I’m glad you’re here. Makes me feel hopeful thinking you’d come to me when you aren’t in a good place. I want to be the one you confide in, Penelope, that you can trust me again. I know I don’t deserve it, not after being so hateful, but… feels like we’re on the right path again. Yeah. Yeah, it does. I can see how worked up you are. Struggling with everything that’s happening with Luna. It’s…it’s a lot to handle. If I had been a better sister to you, more supportive, and to Luna… your daughter might not be in prison right now. Lives wouldn’t have been lost. And Finn wouldn’t despise his cousin.

Steffy: A woman from your past. I never brought this up before because it… it wasn’t an issue. But it is now? Yeah, look, I– I put this out of my mind long before I met you. Just pretended that, you know, it didn’t happen and i-it didn’t matter. It was just-it was just easier not to acknowledge it, and that…that worked for me. For many years. But not anymore, um, because, yeah, it’s, uh… It’s an issue that I have to deal with, um, now. We both do. Many years. So… Whatever it is, it-it was a while ago. So whoever you’re talking about, it’s not someone I know, right? No, yeah, y-you actually do. She’s, um… even been to our house. She has? Wait, this woman is still in your life? Yeah. I mean, no, obviously like not-not in that way. Okay, just to be clear, since you haven’t really mentioned it, we’re talking about someone that you obviously slept with, right? When I was young.

How old?

18. So someone from college? She wasn’t in school. She was, uh, older. And I know her? Yeah. Okay. Well, who is it? Um, it’s… Poppy. Your aunt? Yeah. [intense music plays] All right, well, get to the point. You’re trying to set me up with Bill Spencer? Bill Spencer the billionaire. Why are you helping me? I like you. I don’t know, maybe I see a little bit of myself in those eyes– the mischievous side.

I’m flattered.

Don’t be. At least, that’s what people would say, people that think that they know me. What, are you a mass murderer or something? Right. You really think it’s the filters, Darren?

Uh–

Uh, sorry. Dario. Uh, possibly? It might be the coils or–

Whatever it is, can you fix it?

Uh, definitely.

Won’t let you down.

Can you come out today? Uh, lemme see. As in right now. Uh, sure, yeah.

I–

Great. Let’s go.

Go! Go, go, go.

Okay. It’s hard to know how different things would have been. It’s not worth dwelling on it, Li. I didn’t have any right being suspicious of you having an affair under my roof. You would never do such a thing. You’re a committed, loyal sister, and I’m appalled with myself for thinking you could ever betray me in such an ugly, dirty manner. I wasted so many years holding onto resentment and anger. [exhales] Will you ever be able to forgive me?

Steffy: Poppy? Your aunt? Oh, Finn.

My God, your aunt?

Look. It wasn’t like I, you know, like felt– She had to have known what she was doing. Well, I was 18, so I mean, I knew– 18, Finn? 18 is still really young. I thought I was a man. I mean, I acted like one, so… I’m so sorry you had to go through something like that. I really am. And you hid it for so many years. You kept it bottled up inside. I-I get she wasn’t your biological aunt, but my God… you were still adopted into their family. What she did to you is so unforgiveable. I am so sorry. I’m so sorry you ever had to go through something like that. Oh, my God. [dramatic music plays] [sighs] I guess I could go lounge by the pool for the tenth time today. Hang on a second. I have to check on something.

Make yourself scarce.

Why? Who’s here?

A guy to fix the AC.

Oh! Awesome. Go, go, go, go, go. Come on in. Oh, wow. You weren’t kidding about how warm it is.

Better get to work.

Yeah, hopefully

it’s just the filters.

Yeah, I’ll start there. But your freon might need to be recharged. It could be like a clogged evaporator or a condenser.

I’ll figure it out.

All right. That’s all very exciting. Here you go. Uh… this is like $500. I haven’t even fixed anything yet. I trust you will. And I’m also buying your discretion. Discretion? Look, just, uh, do the job, and beat it, okay? Don’t go ADD on me. Do not get distracted. Do not make yourself at home in any way. Just do the job and leave by the service gate. Okay. But what if I need to talk to you about it

or show you something–

Yeah, don’t do that, ’cause I don’t wanna talk about it and I don’t wanna see anything. I’m gonna be on business calls all afternoon. I don’t wanna get into freon issues. Gotcha. Don’t let me down…Dario. I won’t. Couldn’t help but overhear. Oh. Hi. Are you here to fix the AC? Uh, that is the plan, yeah. Thank God. It’s been unbearable around here.

Pretty warm, yeah.

And boring.

Huh?

Oh, nothing. I’m just, um… in between projects right now. Do I know you? No. I don’t think so. I have a friend, uh, who works at a fashion house in LA– Forrester Creations. I-I spent some time reading up on the place and different news stories and… the biggest one of all recently was a… intern commits double homicide? Is that you? I’m here for you. Whatever you want, okay? Whatever you need. You’re not upset? Upset? No! I feel for you. I-I hurt for you. I’m angry with Poppy for taking advantage of you.

Well, I was 18, so I knew too.

No. You don’t have to make excuses for her. Look, if you don’t wanna explain the situation, you really–you really don’t have to. I kinda have an idea how it went down. You were young. You had an innocent crush. And Poppy, she was… she was doing a lot of drugs back then, and I’m sure she took one look at you and… What she did to you, that’s just sick. It’s awful. What, her sister adopts you, and then she… [whispering] Oh, my God. [sniffling] It’s like no wonder Luna turned out the way she did. I mean…Luna is her daughter. She tried to kill me. She poisoned me. She killed two men. It’s like that sickness is in her veins.

Um…

Oh, hey.

No–

It’s-it’s-it’s okay, okay? As much as it hurts, there’s no lasting repercussions, okay? We’re gonna get through this, Finn. We will. What Poppy did to you in the past doesn’t matter. It’s not gonna change anything about us, okay? Um…

Hey, what is it?

No–

What’s-what’s-what’s going on?

[deep sigh] There’s more to the story.

I’m sure there is.

No. No. Just listen, okay? There’s something that… I have to tell you… and it’s something that you’re not gonna wanna hear. [intense music plays]

WOMAN: Here’s a look ahead.

You’ve built these gates… but I see beyond them. You will never know Finn as intimately as I do. Oh! [doorbell rings] [gasps] Cousin Finn.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[dramatic music]

Mm. Mm. I must be dreaming.

I’d better not be. [both chuckle] – Feliz Día del amor, mi amor. – Pero eso fue ayer.

Huh?

That was yesterday.

Oh, well, every day feels like Valentine’s Day with you.

Aw.

Although I’m wondering if you should go sit over there because I only have nice things to say about you and last night and today, tomorrow.

[shushing] Deja de hablar.

Huh?

This. [smooching]

[laughs]

[grunts] Oh. Good morning.

Good morning.

Why are you looking at me like that?

I was just watching you sleep– well, listening to you sleep, actually.

Oh. Was I snoring?

Talking.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

About what?

About Jada Hunter and how you set her up for a fall.

[knock at door]

I have nothing to say to you.

Wait, Jada. Jada, listen, OK? I’ve been a total idiot, all right? I don’t know what came over me. I don’t believe any of this manufactured evidence against you. I know that you’re innocent, OK? I am sorry. I am sorry that I ever doubted you and– but EJ obviously set this whole thing up. And I can’t believe that I fell for it.

If you really loved me–

I do love you. I still love you, and I still want to marry you.

Jada, please, take this ring back. Take me back.

I love you so much. Can we just–can we just pretend these last few weeks were all just a bad dream?

[tense music]

I’m sorry I’m late with your breakfast. I was busy upstairs.

[muffled speech] [phone rings]

Hold that thought. Hello.

Mother, I still can’t believe I’m hearing your voice.

[muffled shouting]

Kristen, oh, it’s such a blessing to hear your voice. Don’t mind the annoying background noise. How are you, dear? How’s Rachel?

We’re fine.

I hope you haven’t punished her for all this business with Ava. After all, it was my idea.

She is not being punished, no. But at some point, she does need to learn that hostage-taking is not an acceptable way to solve her problems.

I do admire her ingenuity, though, I must say.

[sighs] As do I, I admit. Well, for now, she has no idea that I know that she lured Ava to Aremid, let alone that EJ dumped Rafe there too. I am so sorry that you have to deal with him as well.

Oh, it’s no trouble, dear.

Well, even so, you won’t have to take care of Rafe or Ava much longer because I have a solution– a permanent one.

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

I’m gonna have to let you go. I’ll call you back. [sighs] Hi, Brady.

Hi. I overheard you saying something about a more permanent solution. To what?

DiMera business. Sorry, but I can’t be sharing trade secrets with a competitor, can I?

Work is the last of my concerns, Kristen. Or should I say our concerns?

Why? What’s wrong? [tense music]

I had a little visit from Child Protective Services. We have a big problem.

[sighs]

Well, my daughter sure hung up in a hurry. I hope everything’s all right.

[muffled speech]

I’m sorry. I didn’t get that. Maybe this will help.

[screams]

Oh. Are we still doing this?

[screaming]

I told you– wasting your breath.

[screams] Help!

[muffled] What was that?

[chuckles] So you heard me saying–

That you set up Jada, in those words. God, I should have seen right through all your denials.

[chuckles] I didn’t lie, Belle.

Then how do you explain what you said in your sleep?

I didn’t say it. That’s how I explain it. I’m not the one lying here, Belle. You are.

If you’re saying that I misheard what you said–

I’m not saying you misheard. I’m saying you made it up entirely. You see, the thing is, I never talk in my sleep. Ask any woman I’ve ever slept with. Ask Samantha.

Oh, ha-ha-ha.

And even if I had dreamed about setting up Jada, I’ve also dreamt about traveling to Mars, where everyone there spoke Swahili.

[chuckles] OK, fine!

Mm. So you admit you made it up.

Listen, I’m just trying to figure out what’s going on here. Someone set up Jada, and it does have your fingerprints all over it.

Is it too hard for you to believe she’s guilty?

Yes, it is. And furthermore, if you continue coming after my job…

My job.

I am going to continue coming after you with all of the ammunition I’ve got.

Well, I expect no less from you, Belle. But trying to trick me into confessing to something I didn’t do, that hurt my feelings– below the belt, if you will, especially when we are here in my bed the morning after Valentine’s Day, having spent a wonderful evening… speaking for myself, anyways. [dramatic music]

Well, I didn’t mean to hurt your feeling. [both chuckle]

Well, I’m afraid you’re just going to have to make it up to me.

Hmm. What’d you have in mind?

Oh, I have a couple of ideas.

[chuckles]

I wish that I could stay here all day.

I wish you could stay here every day. So when’s the next Longhorns game?

Tonight.

So is it a date?

As long as Gabi doesn’t keep me overtime until midnight like she did the other night.

Who won last night’s game, anyway? I seem to remember getting distracted by something and missing the end.

Mm-hmm. Well, let me check.

[knock at door]

Steve, good morning.

Hey.

Come on in.

Thank you.

If you’re looking for Stephanie, she had an early meeting over at the mayor’s office.

No, I was looking for you. Stephanie told me that you were staying here with her till you find a place of your own.

Yeah, and I am very grateful to her for that. This may come as a shock to you, but it is nearly impossible to rent a place with no job, no income, and a criminal investigation hanging over your head.

I’m really sorry, Jada.

I’m just glad that my father isn’t around to see this.

Oh, come on. Marcus would know what a raw deal you got, just like everyone who loves you knows that. And listen, I am still determined to prove that EJ DiMera set you up.

Well, I am very grateful for that, especially considering that you’ve had so much going on yourself, you know, with John being gone and Rafe quitting to get back on the force and you worrying about Kayla. How’s she doing, by the way?

Oh, she’s much better. Thanks. But I was just pulled in on a missing persons case that Brady wants me to look into.

Who’s missing?

Ava Vitali.

I don’t want it. I want you to let me go.

I’m sorry. You know I can’t do that.

And now I see where Kristen gets it.

Gets what?

Oh, let’s see. Crazy, felonious.

[laughs] That’s funny. I’ve heard all those things about you. [chuckles] You gonna eat this or not?

Not.

Fine. I’ll just give it to someone who will appreciate it.

Yeah? Who’s that, the Parrot Man?

Or someone else who could use a good meal.

[grunts]

[sighs]

The CPS worker basically grilled me about why Rachel ran away.

Well, what did you tell them?

I told her the truth, obviously, that it was a cry for attention because she wants her parents to be back together.

Yes, exactly. Exactly. This is not a case for CPS. [scoffs] Oh, my God. Every child runs away at least once. I mean, it’s not like we’re abusing her.

Kristen–Kristen, it’s not that simple, or I wouldn’t be here right now.

OK, fine. Go on.

The file that CPS had was an inch thick. They knew all about our custody battles over the years. They knew all about our respective criminal histories. They said that Rachel has been through too much trauma. And I couldn’t disagree. I also didn’t disagree with the fact that a lot of this is on us.

Yes, I mean, we’re parents. We’re not perfect, Brady. But damn it, I mean, nobody– nobody loves that child more fiercely than you and I.

I know that. I know that. You know that. I’m sure our daughter knows that. But I needed to warn you that this woman is gonna want to talk to you and probably to Rachel.

OK, then we need to all be on the same page.

Kristen, what we need to do is make sure that nothing else goes wrong with Rachel. Nothing. No more lying, no more running away, no more–no more kidnapping, no more forging, no more blackmail. And that goes for all of us here.

What? What?

Well, nothing, nothing. You’re right. You are right.

Look, I know this sounds dire. If it sounds that way, it’s because it is. This woman basically put me on notice and said, if we get one more black mark against either of us–

Black mark?

An incident that they deem detrimental to Rachel’s emotional or physical well-being. If it happens, they can take her out of her home and they put her into protective custody. Kristen, we could lose our little girl forever.

I can’t believe this is still in the headlines.

Corruption, scandal, sex– unfortunately, this story’s got it all.

But there is no corruption. Jada is being made out to be the bad guy when everyone that knows her knows that she’s innocent. I mean, I know her. We’re friends. We bonded. We lived under the same roof.

Well, Rafe lived under the same roof with her too.

Look, I know he’s my cousin, but this dirt that he’s dug up on her can’t possibly be legit. I mean, she’s being made out to be this awful, amoral person when Rafe’s the one who cheated on her.

Nothing you can do about it now.

Not about the headlines, but–

But what? [dramatic music]

I don’t know. I’m starting to have second thoughts about telling Jada the truth about Rafe.

Well, look who’s finally awake. Thought I was gonna have to give you a good shake. [chuckles]

Where am I? And who are you?

I’m here to take care of you.

So you’re, like– you’re, like, what, one of EJ’s minions?

Beg your pardon?

Yeah, well, last I remember, EJ had me in his basement, and he was coming at me with a syringe.

Now I’m here. So you, like– you on his payroll like Rita?

I have no idea who Rita is, and I do not take orders from EJ DiMera.

Then why?

I’m doing this for my family, no one else.

[grunts]

That’s insane! Nobody’s going to tell me that we’re bad parents, Brady, or that she’d be better off in someone else’s care.

Of course she wouldn’t be.

They’re not gonna take her away from us. They can’t.

That’s why we can’t give them a reason to.

What? You tell me what you’re thinking right now.

I–I’m just–I’m shaken up because I thought this was a nothing case, that they would just dismiss it out of hand.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

All right, well… it’s OK. I appreciate the heads-up.

[sighs] Hey, listen, I know this sounds a little bit like doomsday. It doesn’t have to be. We just have to take this warning seriously and do what we need to do.

Right.

We can do it.

Yeah.

We can. We just–hey, we have to keep our eye on the prize, focus, pull each other in the right direction, and…[snaps fingers] It’s doable.

You always know the right thing to say, don’t you?

[chuckles] Rachel has a half day of school today. Would you like to stay and hang with her?

I would–I would love to, but I have to meet with Steve Johnson.

Steve Johnson? About what?

Ava’s disappearance. [tense music]

Thanks.

Mm-hmm. So you’re saying Ava didn’t go to China?

Mm-mm. She never contacted Tripp, and there’s no record of her boarding any flight.

Mm. Where could she be?

I have no idea. But she left Brady a voicemail on the day she disappeared. But the reception cut out, and the last part of the message was indecipherable.

How much was missing?

Well, everything potentially useful.

Well, all’s not lost. At the department, we have this new equipment–

Thank you, but I already hired a sound guy to enhance the audio. And we’ll see if there is a clue as to where she might be.

And?

Well, still waiting.

You know, we had evidence like this for a case a couple months back. And we were able to find some ambient noise in the original that helped us pinpoint the location.

Yeah. Yeah, we tried that too.

Mm. Well, if I was still commissioner, I’d make–

You’d do everything you could to help out. I know.

Don’t mind me. Old habits.

I understand. Jada, we’re gonna get you back where you belong real soon. I promise. And in the process, it will give me great pleasure to bring EJ DiMera down.

Well, I don’t know about you, but I am starving.

EJ.

Hmm?

Did you seriously pass out on me?

[mumbling] I did it.

What?

I did it. I set up Jada.

Oh!

[chuckles] I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I couldn’t help myself.

All right. I’m gonna go to work.

No, no, no, no, no. Please don’t. No, no, no, no, no. I was only joking. Don’t be mad.

How can I not be mad when you’re trying to steal my job?

Well, maybe I wouldn’t do that if you’d stop trying to entrap me. This is the part where one of us says, all’s fair in love and war.

Except it’s not love.

Well, I hope it’s not war either.

What?

Belle, I just– I just want to let you know that… I’ve enjoyed the time that we’ve spent together.

OK, we had this conversation last night.

No, no, no, no. Let me–let me finish. [dramatic music] I know that this is complicated for a myriad of reasons– because of Shawn and Samantha and the job and many other things. And maybe this will blow up in spectacular fashion one day. We know the odds. But I just want to let you know that I– I care about you. This isn’t just a casual fling for me.

It’s a genuine affection that I feel for you. And I sincerely mean that.

I don’t know what to say.

You don’t have to say anything. [dramatic music] I know that you’re coming off of a divorce. I just wanted to be up-front about my feeling…

[chuckles]

Which isn’t always easy for me to do.

I know. I really can’t believe you just–

Laid my soul bare? [both chuckle] Although some people don’t believe I have a soul.

I know better.

Mm.

[chuckles]

Family? So are you related to EJ or Feniger?

Feni-who? No. I’m doing this for my daughter and granddaughter. They mean the world to me, and all I want is to ensure their happiness.

OK, I don’t get it. What does this have to do with me?

So you want to tell Jada about Rafe and the stripper?

You know that I was ready to tell her at the wedding. But when Rafe stopped everything and left her at the altar, it seemed kind of beside the point.

Yeah, well, isn’t it beside the point now too? It’d be like kicking her when she’s down. And they’re not getting married anytime soon.

But I’m tired of everybody making Jada out to be the villain. I feel like she should know that Rafe has no right to be acting high and mighty with her.

OK, I–I see your point. But wouldn’t it hurt her more to know that Rafe cheated on her the night before their wedding, no less?

Or maybe it would help her get over him.

You know, I love how loyal you are to Jada when Rafe is the one you’re related to.

Yeah, well, I haven’t spent time with him in years. He’s just not the guy that I remember. Jada deserves so much better.

It will give us all great pleasure to see EJ go down. And, Steve, I appreciate everything you’re doing, but Shawn texted me earlier, and he told me that he and JJ are already looking into the case against me.

But still–

But nothing. Look, they have access to police files, so it’s much easier for them than it would be for you or me. Priorities, OK? Ava is the mother of your son, and she needs to be found. It would make me feel a lot better if you just focused all of your energy on finding her.

Are you sure?

100%. I am so lucky to have somebody like you in my corner– you and Stephanie and Kayla.

Well, we love you, Jada.

Yeah.

You’re family, and we believe in you. And we won’t rest until your name is cleared. OK? Come here. Oh, there’s my other baby girl.

What does Steve know about Ava’s disappearance?

Well, he’s helping me track her down now that I know that she’s not in Hong Kong with Tripp. That’s why I have to meet with him now, to see if he has any new leads.

OK, well, keep me posted.

I will. And let me know if you hear from CPS, OK?

I will.

And please give Rachel my love and tell her that I’ll call her and wish her good night, OK?

Yeah. If anyone finds out that Rachel helped kidnap Ava Vitali, oh, God help us.

Longhorns won, by the way.

Yay!

I wish I didn’t have to go to work. We could celebrate.

Well, at least you have a job to go to. Remind me. Money is that green papery stuff, right?

Mm-hmm, but you are going to get a job soon. I am sure of it.

Hmm. I wish I were sure. I have sent out reams of résumés and not a nibble, not that I’m surprised. I wrote soaps; before that, a gossip column. What kind of job am I expecting to get with a résumé like that?

Well, who knows what kind of talent you may have waiting to burst out? [laughter]

All right, let’s see. I can do a really incredible impression of a baby crying.

Ooh.

I can find a song to fit any situation. And if it doesn’t fit, I can change the lyrics so that it does. And since I seem to be genetically incapable of getting a brain freeze, I can chug a slushy without consequence.

Ooh. [laughs] You are going to set the world on fire, babe.

I am. Mm.

I’ll see you tonight?

Mm-hmm.

OK.

Bye. [jazzy music]

Oh.

“Couple Slain, Police Suspect Homicide”? Crackerjack Salem PD strikes again or copywrite foul? Oh. Oh, this–this is just utter drivel.

Well, I hope you have a productive day at the office.

Oh, not the office– my office. [laughter]

I’ll talk to you later.

OK.

Oh, it’s for Kristen.

Oh. Well, I’ll make sure that she gets it. [dramatic music] Come here.

Hmm.

[light music]

Javi, how’s it going?

Hey, I’m OK. How are you doing? Stupid question. Jada, I’ve been thinking about nonstop, and I just hate what’s happened.

Thanks. Me too. Listen, I already told Gabi yesterday, I returned your mother’s ring to Rafe. So be sure he gives it back to you.

I haven’t been home yet, but when I see him, I’ll definitely do that.

For the record, I don’t think Rafe’s been home either.

Did you run into him?

No, I mean– never mind.

No, no, no. Come on, tell me.

No, I don’t want to pull you into this. You two are cousins.

Girl, I’m already pulled into it. I want to know.

Last night, he had the gall to invite me up to his room at the Salem Inn.

What?

Yeah. Can you believe that… or the fact that I proceeded to cry myself to sleep over that jerk?

Damn, Javi. What’s it gonna take for me to get over him?

Mm. There you are.

Here I am. This came for you.

Thank you.

Kristen, as I told you last night on the phone… [clears throat] We need to figure out what we’re going to do with Ava and Rafe. Your mother can’t babysit them for…forever.

Yes, yes, that is an issue that urgently needs to be addressed, one of several. See, I got Child Protective Services breathing down my neck. And Brady has got Steve Johnson looking into Ava’s disappearance. But there’s nothing to worry about, because I am formulating a plan.

Oh.

Mm. [dramatic music]

Look, I’m here to feed you breakfast, not to answer your intrusive questions.

Maybe I can help your family.

And maybe you could shut your mouth. Your life is literally in my hands. Now, I may look meek and mild, and you may even think I’m a little dotty. But I will stop at nothing to protect the people I love.

Look, Steve, I know that you said you’d call me if you found any more info on Ava. But I’m going crazy here, OK?

Perfect timing. I was just on the phone harassing the audio lab. They’re gonna send me everything they’ve been able to enhance so far.

OK. [phone beeps]

Well, here it is now.

– Brady, it’s Ava. You need to call me back as soon as you get this. I just got a call from Rachel. I know where she is. I’m heading there right now. The address is 2311 Riverbend Way.

Oh, my God, I know where that is.

You do?

We–we have to get to Aremid now.

Aremid?

Hello, Chadwick. It’s Leo. And you will be thrilled to hear that I– who have an amazing work ethic, a wonderful way with words, and, although sometimes I push a little too hard for a joke, am really fun to have around– would be interested in coming back to “The Spectator.” [jazzy music] OK, well, maybe you won’t be thrilled to hear that, but I’m hoping you’ll at least consider it.

The first thing I saw this morning was a hit piece about me in “The Spectator.”

I saw it too. [light music]

At first, I was mad at the whole situation but especially at Rafe for messing with my mind last night. Then I was sad. Because even though I know that I just need to move on and put him behind me, there’s a part of me that still loves him very much and misses him.

Jada…I hope that you do not waste any more of your tears on my cousin, especially because–

Because what?

There’s something that you need to know about Rafe.

He cheated on you. [dramatic music]

Now, let’s go over the ground rules before you eat your breakfast. No biting, no spitting, and definitely no yelling. I have very sensitive ears. And we live in a remote area, so no one will come, anyway. OK?

Yeah. But I heard a woman’s voice earlier.

Oh, her. Yeah, well, she definitely won’t be coming to rescue you. [laughs]

Huh. Why is that?

Well, let’s just say that you’re not the only prisoner in this house.

Huh.

Ava. Oh, God.

[groans]

Come here, it’s OK.

Oh, Brady, Steve.

All right?

Thank God. Thank God.

It’s OK. Hey, hey, it’s over. It’s over.

Yes. You see, I assumed this was something from DiMera that I was expecting. But now I think it might be exactly what I’m waiting for.

[chuckles] Indeed, here it is.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Brook Lynn: Wow. What’s all this? There’s still time to end Valentine’s Day on a high note. I thought your performance at The Savoy was the high note. But I like the way you think. Happy Valentine’s Day, babe. Happy Valentine’s Day. ♪♪ What do you mean Brook Lynn and Chase can’t have children? Why? What happened? There’s a fertility issue. Poor Brook Lynn. Oh, gosh. She must feel so terrible. I feel bad for her. Is she doing okay? She’s actually — She’s fine. The problem’s with Chase. ♪♪ [ Both grunting ] ♪♪ I’m on the phone with 911. Police are on their way. Lucky. We need the police and an ambulance. Cyrus Renault is here, and he’s attacking Lucky Spencer. I think he injected him with digitalis. Yes, Cyrus Renault! I’m looking at him right now. ♪♪ Lucky? Lucky, it’s okay. You have to stay with me, okay? Please hurry. Jordan: I have more than a casual interest in seeing the Esplanade project through, but clearly, there are warring interests at play here. What I need to figure out is how we can make the Esplanade happen but still protect the city. [ Knock on door ] Yeah, come in. H-Hey. Oh. Your assistant let me in. Yeah. Great. Thank you so much for stopping by, Anna. Sure. Hey, Jordan. What’s this about? Uh, we were just discussing the Esplanade, and we wanted to get your opinion. Um… in a potential battle between Drew Quartermaine, Sonny Corinthos, and our latest citizen, Jenz Sidwell… …well, who do you think is the biggest threat? Drew: So what do you say? Will you and the kids move in here with me and Scout? You want us all to live here with you? From the moment I saw this place to the second that I signed it, all anyone’s said to me is this place is too big for just me and Scout, but… They didn’t know that I never intended it to be just the two of us. I want this place to be a home, for you, for me and our families. So what do you say? ♪♪ ♪♪ I really need to talk to you. I need to make a choice tonight… ♪♪ …between what I want… and what I think you’d want. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ I was out with some of my coworkers having a Galentine’s Day celebration, but when Curtis called and asked me to join him for a nightcap, I was happy to let them old gals dance the night away while I wrapped up my Valentine’s Day with my favorite nephew. Auntie, I knew you were gonna have a lot of offers, which is why I’m glad you swung by. I make time for what’s important, honey. [ Laughter ] Okay. Right on cue. Thank you. Auntie. Uh-huh. I told my waitress that as soon as she saw me talking with my beautiful auntie to come over with these special Valentine’s Day cocktails. I will take that compliment and the cocktail. [ Chuckles ] Mmm. Mmm, this is delicious. Okay, well, enjoy your nightcap. [ Laughter ] I’ll see you when I get home. Mwah. Love you. Bye, sweetie. Bye, Stella. Love you, too. So, did you really ask me here to wrap up your Valentine’s Day with your auntie, or is there something else going on here? Aunt Stella, there may be a favor that only you can provide. Okay. He’s — He’s unconscious. I’m doing compressions. Come on, Lucky. You gotta stay with me. Help is on the way. ♪♪ What’s wrong? Nothing. It’s the exact opposite, actually. I just… can’t believe you did this for me. Champagne and the chocolates and the roses. You’re amazing. How’d I get so lucky? You’re not that lucky. I can’t give you the one thing you want. Chase — I can’t give you a baby. But at least I can give you this. It’s not enough, but… it’s all I can do. I feel so terrible for them. I — Chase is so young and healthy. To get this news out of the blue? It must have been unreal. And then he’s got to tell Brook Lynn. Well, according to Chase, Brook Lynn’s been nothing but supportive and understanding. She was? Everyone knows how much Brook Lynn loves Chase. And I’m not saying that she would ever be a monster about something like this, but I just know how single-minded she can be when she wants something. I-I don’t know if that’s fair. And I’m not saying that it’s all bad, but you have to agree when Brook Lynn wants something, she goes after it full force. And it’s no secret that what she wanted right now was a baby and that she and Chase were trying. That was — was definitely not a secret. No. All the Quartermaines were talking about it. They were all so excited. They expected her to be pregnant any day now. That’s gonna make this even more rough on them. Brook Lynn wanted to be a mother. I totally get it. I mean, being a father, it’s one of the greatest joys of my life. Same. Except, you know, mother, but — Yeah. I really wanted that for her. She deserves it. I wish you knew the Brook Lynn that I do. Anna: That is a very interesting question. I mean, we all know Sonny and how involved he is in illegal activities, but he’s very adept at covering his bases. Yeah. Better than anyone I’ve ever seen. But, uh, I guess what I’m assuming is that, um, the PCPD continues to monitor Sonny, and if you were to find the evidence to bring Sonny down, that you would. And Drew is certainly encouraging of that. He basically said so to my face. Oh. The fact that Drew was bold enough to do that really worries me. And not because I have any interest in protecting Sonny, obviously, but because Drew was so easily wanting to align himself with Jenz Sidwell. And that concerns me deeply. Well, me, too. I have firsthand experience of how dangerous Sidwell is. He ordered his men to kill Jason and me. And he makes his living with illegal mining. In order to move this illegal merchandise, he needs a port through which to move it. And that’s why he’s here in Port Charles. But the problem is, our port is Sonny’s territory. Exactly. Which makes it very advantageous for Sidwell to team up with Drew in order to take down Sonny. And Drew is a congressman now, which means he has a lot of influence. His helping Sidwell only empowers a very dangerous man. I’d rather deal with the devil I know in Sonny than the devil we don’t know in Sidwell. And it seems that Drew Quartermaine doesn’t care about any of this. But as representatives of this city, we should. Drew, I just moved the kids back in with my mom again. We have bounced around so much lately. What my kids need now is stability. I haven’t had a second to think about what’s next for us, much less wrap my brain around the idea of moving in with you. That’s partially why I’m asking you to move in now. Just that, you know, we’ve been through so much transition lately. Scout, she lost her mom, and she’s been living in a hotel since Christmas. And she doesn’t need that uncertainty, either. I just — I want stability for all of us. Imagine how much the kids would love it. I mean, really, like — like, all in here together in one house, finally being able to really settle in somewhere, being able to — to, like, decorate their bedrooms exactly the way they want. And we can get them a swing set for the backyard. I don’t know, maybe a treehouse. They’d love that. We’d love it. Like, watching them running around, laughing, playing. That does sound nice. And we get a nanny just to help us out a little bit. Well, we’d need one. We both work, and you’ll be in D.C. a lot. And mostly we’d just get a chance to breathe, just…breathe, something we haven’t been able to do in way too long. Just all be together here, enjoying each other and… our new life. I really want this place to be the first step into our future together. Just… tell me that you want the same thing. I know Cyrus is the one who murdered you. And a lot of people are telling me reasons why I shouldn’t kill him. But I know I could kill him, Sam, and get away with it. I want to kill him! ♪♪ I want to kill him. There’s just one thing holding me back. I know that you’d want me to put our son… before my need for vengeance. ♪♪ [ Sighs ] ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ I know that you and Brook Lynn are close. I-I get it. You guys grew up together. You’ve known each other for 100 years. Well, not quite that long, but most of our lives, yeah. Exactly. You’ve seen each other through all sorts of things. And you’ve got a history with her that you don’t have with anyone else. Maybe it’s part of the reason that I still get into it so much with Brook Lynn. She knows things about you that I don’t, and… it’s hard. Okay, but it shouldn’t be. Look. Let’s kind of clear this up once and for all, okay? Yeah, Brook Lynn and I, we have history. And Carly used that to try and get her to break us up all those years ago. And when Brook Lynn agreed to do it. Yes, but she knows what she did was wrong, and she feels terrible about it to this day. But it was a long time ago, and we got to let that go. Brook Lynn and I, what we have is a friendship. We’ve always had it. Hopefully we’ll continue to have it. That’s why I stood up for her and Chase at their wedding. I was just happy my friends found each other. That’s why she was supportive of me and Sam. She wanted to see me happy. How could she not? The point is… Brook Lynn and I are friends. That’s it. And if you see her as someone who wants something more than that with me, you’re wrong. Okay? Couldn’t be further from the truth. Brook Lynn: Babe, stop. Please, just sit with me, okay? We need to talk about this. I don’t know what else there is to say. Then just listen to me. When we said our vows to each other… for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, I meant every word of them from the bottom of my heart. You couldn’t possibly have expected this. Neither could you. I’m not gonna lie. This is hard. I wanted to have your baby. But… that’s just the way life goes, right? Sometimes you get thrown a curve ball, and plans change. Just because we won’t have that version of our dream doesn’t mean we can’t still be parents and have the family that we want. The life you’re describing sounds perfect, Drew. But you and I both know that there’s so much you’re leaving out. Nothing about our situation is perfect. For one, I’m still married. And I’ve thought about that. And I don’t — I don’t think it’s gonna be a problem, you know, because you two are legally separated. And Michael was the one that filed for divorce, and he’s — he’s out of the country entirely. Being treated for burns over a huge part of his body. Michael may be scarred for life. I know, and, uh, believe me, that’s so terrible. I know. Uh… But it doesn’t change the immediate circumstances — that you’re here raising kids alone. I don’t think the courts would fault you for trying to find them a loving, stable home. I really don’t. The courts aren’t what I’m worried about. Amelia may be too young to understand, but Wiley isn’t. He adores his father. I know, and he should. And I haven’t told him that Michael and I are splitting up yet. Wiley still thinks his dad’s coming home, and we’re gonna be a family again, like before. So moving him and Amelia in with you right now just feels wrong. I promise, Sam. ♪♪ I’ll always put Danny first. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ I can’t have Port Charles in the middle of a territory battle between these three men. Anna: Yeah. Listen, I’ve tried to talk to Drew and tell him to back off, but honestly, he’s not the same man I once knew. He’s different now, and not in a good way. He’s certainly made it very clear that he’s gonna go after Sonny and Jason. But, you know, it’s his willingness to align himself with Sidwell that’s really concerning, because the man is a known criminal. Oh, and Drew is very aware of that. So what are we saying here? That Drew has turned to the point that we can’t trust him? Maybe that’s something that the PCPD should find out. [ Cellphone rings ] Excuse me. I have to take this outside. Okay. Alright. Commissioner Devane. Cyrus Renault? Where was the assault? How did this all get so close to getting out of control so fast? [ Cellphone rings ] Oh, I’m sorry. I have to take this quickly. Elizabeth? Laura, you need to get to the hospital right away. Lucky’s in trouble. Auntie, I understand you’re good friends with Congressman Douglas Henderson. Doug? Yeah, we go way back. We were community organizers together back in Baltimore. He’s a good man. I’ve heard that. In fact, he’s a legend. And not just in Baltimore, but nationwide. And he’s incredibly influential in Washington. He has worked very hard to get where he is. Yes, he can make or break policy, and he can get a bill passed, or he can make sure one is dead on arrival. And I heard he has a lot of say in congressional committee appointments. Where you going with this, Curtis? Aunt Stella, I need you to introduce me to the congressman. Better yet, I need to develop a relationship with him, before Drew destroys everything I’m building. I completely understand where you’re coming from. Do you? Because I don’t want you to think that my decision means that I don’t care about you. Because I do. So much. You know that. I do. I know that. I just — I don’t want to rush you. I don’t want to pressure you. I just — We got the rest of our lives to be together. But I also want you to know that this house is yours, too, like when you’re ready, okay? And when you’re ready, I think we should tell the kids about us, about our relationship. Together. I’m not sure if that’s the best idea. I don’t feel comfortable talking to the kids about us while Michael’s still at the clinic. Fair enough. When you’re ready. You’re worth waiting for. Thank you. Now let’s get you home to see those amazing kids of yours. It really is a beautiful house, Drew. Not even close to as beautiful as the woman standing in it. ♪♪ Part of me is threatened by Brook Lynn. And it’s not because of you or your history with her, because… we haven’t been a couple in a really long time. And she clearly loves Chase. Well, then why? Because everything changed when I went into that coma. It’s like I went to sleep one night, and then I woke up, and the whole world had changed. Except I didn’t change, but your lives, they kept going. And… And you mended your friendship with Brook Lynn. Tracy’s incredibly close with Brook Lynn now, and Maxie even says that Brook Lynn is one of her best friends. And that bothers you? Yes! I lost four years laying in that hospital bed, and it’s like Brook Lynn just stepped into all the important parts of my life and relationships while I was gone. So you think, or you feel like maybe Brook Lynn took your place in all our lives? I don’t know. Maybe. I’m just starting to wonder if there is even room for me anymore. I saw what a total natural you were when we took Violet in. I mean, being a mom, it’s — It’s effortless for you. I don’t know about that. I made a lot of mistakes. Look, I know we would love any child that we were blessed with. We would, and we will. But selfishly, I’m grieving the one that I imagined us conceiving together. [ Sighs ] Chase, listen to me. I know you’re hurting. But that stuff doesn’t matter as much as you think it does. There are so many ways for us to start a family. We could adopt or foster. However we bring a child into our lives, we’ll be doing it together, and they will always be a part of the both of us. What’s the status? Cyrus Renault was here, and he threatened Elizabeth Baldwin with a full syringe, which she believes contained digitalis. Lucky Spencer showed up, and he and Renault fought. During the fight, Renault injected Spencer with whatever was in the syringe. Oh, God. Do we know where Renault is now? No. He managed to flee the scene, but we’ve got an APB out on him. And Lucky Spencer? Paramedics took him to G.H. Ms. Baldwin went with him. We haven’t gotten an update on his condition yet. 6, 7, 8… Doctor, what do we have? Possible cardiac arrest. Possible v-fib. Isaiah. It’s digitalis. What? 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21. Do you know where Lucky Spencer is? I’m his mother. Give me just a second. I’ll look. Okay. Laura? Elizabeth. Where’s Lucky? He’s in room one. Oh. The doctors are working on him right now. Is he alright? I-Is he going to get through this? I don’t know. ♪♪ Josslyn: Dex. You didn’t deserve this. ♪♪ ♪♪ [ Door opens ] ♪♪ I shouldn’t have said that. As it was coming out, I realized how selfish I sounded, especially considering everything Brook Lynn’s going through right now. It’s not selfish to wonder where you fit in after everything you’ve been through. I should have known you’d understand. I’m glad Brook Lynn has you. You and I know what it’s like to struggle to get pregnant. We’ve been through the highs and lows, and it’s hard to finally realize that the family you want is never going to happen. And it makes all the dumb stuff that Brook Lynn and I have been fighting about seem really petty. Okay, why don’t you stop beating yourself up? This is stuff you didn’t know. No, I owe Brook Lynn an apology, and I should go right now. Ju– Wait. Okay? I — I told you what Brook Lynn and Chase were going through because I wanted you to go easy on Brook Lynn. Chase told me in confidence. I-I don’t want you letting on that you know. Yes, but I’ve been judging Brook Lynn all wrong. I owe her an apology. Okay, Lulu, just hang on. Wait, hold on. Sorry. [ Cellphone ringing ] Hello? Jordan, what’s up? Oh, my God. I’ll be right there. What’s wrong? It’s Lucky. We just waited too long to arrest Renault, and now he’s attacked Lucky, who’s fighting for his life, and he could die. It’s — It’s — Oh. Aiden: What? Jordan: I just spoke with Lulu, and she’s on her way. I’ll go see if I can get an update from the police. Thank you. Let me know as soon as you hear anything. Absolutely. I don’t understand this. Lucky was injected with something? How did that happen? Cyrus attacked Lucky. Cyrus? Mm. My brother? What — Why would he want to hurt Lucky? Because he knew that Lucky and I suspected him the killing the people — the patients in this hospital, especially the ones whose deaths were unexplained, including Sam. Sam? No, it just doesn’t make any sense. Why would — Why? Why would — He said it was — it was a divine calling. He wanted to release the people who were trapped inside their bodies. The bedridden ones. He was — He was saving them from their suffering. But Sam wasn’t any of those things. She was perfectly healthy. Oh, my God. Lulu? I’m sorry, Laura. Oh, my God. I’m sorry. Cyrus wanted — He tried to release Lulu. He’s the reason her liver failed. Oh, my God. ♪♪ ♪♪ You shouldn’t have come here. [ Voice breaking ] You’re a monster. You killed Sam. You killed Dex. You’re not gonna get away with it. We’ll see. Samantha and Dex got in the way of my mission. And now you have, too. And I can’t allow that. ♪♪ [ Gunshots ] [ Groaning, coughing ] ♪♪ Now — [ Coughs ] Now you’re the murderer. Oh, God. ♪♪ Aiden: Oh, my God. Mom. Are you okay? Elizabeth: Yes, yes. I’m fine. What happened? Did Cyrus hurt you? No. No, no, no. I’m okay. Your dad saved me. Um, Elizabeth, I’m so sorry to interrupt, but would it be alright if I had a few questions for you? I want to know exactly what happened while it’s still fresh in your mind. Yeah, absolutely. Um, will you stay with your grandmother? Okay. ♪♪ Dad’s gonna be okay, right? We would love any child, no matter how they came to us. But part of me feels like if we adopt, it wouldn’t be fair to you. What do you mean? Adoption is a wonderful, amazing thing. We’d be getting the family we always wanted, and we’d be doing it together. Look at my dad and Leo. Chase, they adore each other. Do you think my dad thinks of Leo as anything other than his son? Or loves him any less, just because he’s not his biological father? Of course not. Ned is Leo’s father. Leo’s a Quartermaine in every way that matters. Exactly. Just like Monica is Jason’s mother, even though she didn’t give birth to him. Families are created in all different ways, and no way is better than the other. Look, I know a lot of couples go through this, but it is my fault that you can’t get pregnant. We can’t have a baby together because of me. You’ll never get to experience what it’s like to have a baby. I am robbing you of that experience! Auntie, Drew’s been gunning for me ever since Michael and I took over Aurora. Drew made it abundantly clear to me that he will not hesitate to stop any of Aurora’s projects from going through at the federal level. Even if those projects benefit his constituents? Even then. Drew’s changed. He used to be such a good guy. He’s different now. He’s become… vindictive. He still has a huge financial stake in Aurora’s success, and yet he’s willing to let the company take a hit just to satisfy his bruised ego. Any bruising to Drew’s healthy ego is his own fault. He was more than willing to backstab you when it suited them. Yeah. That he was. And I suspect he’ll bring that same dark energy to Washington. And that’s why I need you, Auntie. So what do you say? Will you help me? ♪♪ ♪♪ Lulu, Lucky’s in ICU. Thank you. Hey. I’ll be praying for him. Any word on his condition? Not yet. This is Cyrus? Yeah. Okay, I want in on finding him. Okay. We can use all the help we can get. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ [ Shakily ] Hi. Um, I need your help. Of course I’ll help you. Just like that? Drew was a very powerful man, and he’s coming for you. Besides that, you need to protect yourself. And I need to let Doug know what kind of snake Drew really is before he thinks about bringing him into his caucus. I agree. Thank you, Auntie. You don’t need to thank me. You’re a good man, and I’m very proud of you. And there are very few people I hold in higher regard than Doug. So if I can do something to help you both, count me in. Thank you. That’s a huge relief. But a little word of advice, though. You held a mirror up to Drew, and he did not like what he saw. That’s why he’s coming after you. It’s been a long day, and I’m not in the mood for another battle in our ongoing war. I’m here to make peace. Why the hell would I want to make peace with you? For Sam. From the moment you agreed to marry me — No, actually, from the moment I fell in love with you, I’ve imagined you carrying our child. I hear women talk about what it’s like to have this miracle growing inside of them, to feel the baby kick or — or hiccup. And I robbed you of that. No — Brook Lynn, I did! Because of me, you will never get to experience what it’s like to have a miracle growing inside of you. Chase, please — I’m sorry. I-I can’t — I-I’m making this all about myself. I know you’re going through a lot, too. It’s just — Chase, stop! ♪♪ I have had a baby. ♪♪ I’ve been pregnant before. ♪♪ Why haven’t we heard anything yet, Mom? I know waiting is hard, but the doctors will be out as soon as they can. Any word on Lucky? What is it? Just tell me. Is my son alive? What did you find out? A traffic cam picked up an image of Cyrus Renault’s car heading southeast. Southeast? Okay. Right, thank you. There’s nothing southeast of Port Charles besides miles and miles of empty woods. Yeah. Let me put in a call. I’ve got files on Cyrus that go way back. There’s gotta be something in them that can give us a lead based on this new information. I’ll keep you updated. Thank you. Thank you. What the hell is out in those woods?

Finn: Back-to-back shifts, yeah. But we should have some relief soon, so… [small laugh] You bet I’m anxious to get outta here, get home to my wife. [sighs] Send me what you got, and I’ll do the consult. Okay. Hi. Look, I know why you’re here. I haven’t changed my mind, okay? And I’m not going to. I’m telling Steffy Luna’s my daughter. Today.

[inhales]

Liam: Hey. So I’m taking Kelly to the dance recital next Thursday, right? Uh, yeah, and I’ll pick her up since you have that meeting in the evening, right? Uh, yes. Perfect. Oh, also, I, uh, I brought her sandals back to you ’cause, oh my God, who knew it’d get so hot so quickly? Which is a good thing we have this whole coparenting thing down. We are a great team.

Liam: Great team. You’re a great mom. Can’t imagine having to do this without you. Well, I’m not going anywhere. No, I know. I just–I was more… I was talking to my dad a bit ago just about how close we came to losing you because of…Luna. [moody music plays] This heat wave is ridiculous. Everything I’ve accomplished in this life, and I can’t get an AC guy out to come fix the problem. The AC isn’t working. That’s the problem. Oh, well, you’re quite the mechanical wizard, aren’t you? You bored? Want me to teach you a new game? Sure. Okay. [chuckling] Or not, if there’s something else you’d rather be doing. I mean, I’d rather be at the beach surfing or something, but I don’t think I’d get too far with this thing on.

Bill: No. No, you wouldn’t. Cops would have you under arrest like that. Then you’d have your house arrest revoked and be back behind bars. And unlike last time, there’d be nothing I could do to help you. [edgy music plays] I know the rules by heart, what I can and can’t do.

It’s just…

You’re restless. Anyone in your position would be. I’m not gonna do anything stupid–I promise. I know how good I have it here, and I’m beyond grateful. It’s just… [sighs] Sometimes I can’t help but wonder. Maybe I really do deserve to be behind bars, given what I did to Tom and Hollis and to Steffy, my cousin’s wife. I try not to think about Luna, everything she put me through… especially now that she’s behind bars, hopefully never to see the light of day again. So do you feel safe? Luna committed not one, but two murders. I was close to being the third, Liam. Yeah, if Finn hadn’t rushed in and saved the day. Again. He already saved me from his crazy birth mother Sheila. [small laugh] Geez. And when Luna tried to kill me, both times, my very brave husband kept it from happening. I know I can always count on Finn.

Poppy: Well, I was hoping you’d changed your mind. No. There’s no way I’m keeping something this huge from my wife. And yet you still haven’t told her. Okay, the reason I haven’t told her is because of the insane hours I’ve been working at the hospital. I’ve barely been able to get home. Okay, well, then, have you considered that maybe you’re keeping such a hectic schedule

for a different reason?

What are you talking about? Finn, maybe subconsciously you’re trying to convince yourself that life can go on without revealing the truth to Steffy and risking your marriage and that, deep down, not saying anything about Luna is the only way that you can safeguard what you and Steffy have together. [chuckling] He’s on the warpath, huh? No, no, no, don’t, don’t. Don’t do anything. Just-just wait for me to come into the office. Yeah. It’ll give him a chance to cool down. Okay. Uh, sorry for that brief… interruption. Problems? No, it’s just–[huffs] There’s a client that’s been working, you know, one on one with my dad for years and years now and now he’s working with me, and, uh, to say he’s not enthused about it would be the understatement of the decade. But, uh, that’s just, you know, that’s how it is now with my dad stepping away from the day-to-day. It’s like… Well, for now. For now he is. Wait, you really don’t know why Bill’s spending more time at home than at Spencer? Not really. No, I mean, it– Listen, I’m happy to step up. What else have I got going on besides work? Well, no, that’s– I mean-I mean… Kelly. I have Kelly. The kids are-are… my number one priority, but still… Hey, Liam, you’re an incredible father and I know Kelly loves you to pieces, but… you’re finding time for yourself, right?

Yeah.

All right. Yeah, no, I am. I’m like, uh, like, um… I’m, like, reading, uh… I-I work out sometimes. Uh, thinking about getting a parrot, actually. You know, someone to keep me company.

A parrot.

Yeah. Yeah, like they can– you know, I can talk to the parrot and the parrot like literally talks back.

Be like that mutually…

What? …beneficial–do you know the African grey parrot can memorize up to 1,000 words? It’s incredible. It doesn’t even look grey. Liam, you’re really starting to worry me now. I’m joking. I’m jok–it’s me. I’m joking, I’m joking. I saw it on a nature doc. If I’m gonna get an animal, it’s gonna be a dog. I am fine. Steffy, I’m fine. I’m, um… I think I’m fine. I’m…[sighs] Maybe not. I don’t know. Life just doesn’t… look the way that I, um, pictured it would at this point, you know, spending half the time with my kids, and you’re with Finn and Hope’s with Carter, and… It’s, uh, it’s my own damn fault, a-and I know that. It’s just, um, yeah, my life kinda… stinks. [somber music plays]

Bill: Well, thanks for nothing. No luck? No. AC guy can’t come out till next week. Okay. Maybe we can, I don’t know, jump in the pool or something, cool off? No. Can’t do it. That device is water-resistant, not waterproof. If you damage it, it triggers an alert. Okay. Well, I guess I’ll just keep this fan parked in front of me, think cool thoughts. Look, Luna, I know that, uh, house arrest is no picnic. It’s not supposed to be a picnic. Not even in a home like this. There are a lot of restrictions, a lot of time that you’re alone, and I’m sure you get in your own head. You think about everything that happened, the person you were back then, the person you are striving to be now. I hope that some of our conversations have provided some bit of clarity for you. They have. I mean, you’ve been such a big help to me, Bill. You’ve made me realize that I don’t have to be defined by my past, that I can be the best version of myself moving forward. I’m gonna make you and myself proud. I am proud. Thank you, Bill. Thank you for-for believing in me. Thank you for everything. Sometimes when I, um, lie awake at night, I fantasize about the life I could have, a life where I’m back out in the real world and… my mom and my Aunt Li and my Cousin Finn don’t hate me anymore.

Finn: Being honest with my wife

is how I safeguard my marriage.

[sighs] Finn. You don’t know how much I hope that is true, but– No, no, listen, there’s no buts. No buts. Dishonesty is how you and I got here now. If you had just told me all those years ago that Luna was my daughter, I wouldn’t have to– And then everything would have been okay? That you would be exactly where you are today, just with a grown-up daughter that you are responsible for. We would have shared responsibility for Luna, been the parents that she needed us to be. I didn’t want to upend your entire life! Especially since I wasn’t a hundred percent sure she was yours. Finn, you were just starting out– Look, I could have pursued medicine and been a father. A damn good one, too. But you…you robbed me of that. But more importantly, you robbed Luna. I could have been the stability that she needed, desperately. Her life could have been so different, and that-that is what I keep going back to. That’s all I can think about. That and…what happens next. Well, if you mean telling Steffy– I have no idea how she will react when she hears that the woman who abducted her and tried to take her life… is her husband’s daughter. [dramatic musical sting] Yeah, I get a little stir-crazy sometimes. The walls start to close in and I wish I could break free. But then I realize that that would ruin any chance I have of making a normal life for myself again. Of ever being accepted back into my family. I know. I know it’s a long shot, considering what I did to Tom and Hollis and… I hurt a member of my own family, the mother of my cousin’s child. I almost took her life too. Wow. Did I really just say my life stinks? Am I Mel Brooks? Is that what’s happening? Ugh.

Yeah, you-you kinda did.

Sorry. Yeah, let’s just erase, erase, erase. I didn’t–you didn’t hear those– those words didn’t come out of my mouth. I’m just– I-I’m not–I’m just… I don’t know, existentially frustrated. Frustrated you’re not in a relationship? I mean, I know there’s-there’s woman out there somewhere

perfect for me.

Of course there is.

You’re an amazing man.

Ha ha. Well… You’ve been dating, right? Yeah, that hasn’t really… panned out. Yet. Doesn’t mean it won’t. What? Yesterday was my birthday. [gasps] It was? Oh, my God, I-I’m so sorry.

I completely forgot!

No, it’s okay. No. It wasn’t just you. I mean, everybody…

Oh!

Um… That’s not true, actually. Wyatt. Wyatt, uh, Wyatt gave me a call, and it was nice. He wished me well. Hey. This is not a pity party. It’s gonna be fine. I’m just, uh… you know what it does for me? It reinforces how happy I am for you and Finn. Just so you know, I called the prison again, and I’m still getting the runaround. Nobody can say exactly where Luna is or when we’re gonna be able to speak to her.

So no details at all.

No. Not that I’m gonna give up. This is my daughter I’m talking about,

and I’m worried.

So am I! But I’m also worried about you, Finn, and what you’re about to do. Finn. You are a good man who’s determined to do the right thing. But what if doing the right thing isn’t what you think it is? What if telling Steffy about Luna causes your marriage to fracture–or worse! Can you just stop trying to change my mind? I’m not going to, okay? This isn’t gonna be easy for Steffy but it’s unavoidable, because of you. Because of a choice that you made decades ago not telling me that I’m Luna’s father. Now I have to bring pain into my wife’s life when all I wanna do is bring her joy. First it’s Sheila, and now it’s Luna. I keep bringing Steffy pain. When Steffy hears that I’m Luna’s father, she might bolt for the door, and I wouldn’t blame her. So then why take the risk? Finn, you could lose your wife, and I know that is the last thing that you want. Of course it is, but I have to have faith in Steffy. I have to have faith in my marriage, in my family. I have to believe that we’ll survive this. But what if you don’t? What if it’s not possible? Okay, look, we can “what if” this to death, trying to guess what Steffy’s gonna do, but the only way that I’ll know for sure is if I go home and tell her what’s going on. That Luna’s my daughter. She deserves that much from me. She deserves the truth. Okay, wait, wait, Finn, I can’t let you do this.

Poppy, get out of my way.

Wait, no, no–Please, Finn. Can we just please give it more time? Can we just…[murmurs] time? I’m not in this for the sympathy, you know. You… you made the right decision. You found a good partner who’s worthy of you. Am I jealous? Yes, of course I’m jealous. I should be jealous, because I had my chance. I had several of them, and I blew all of them. You deserved better than me. And you found that…in Finn. I mean… you two, you– you have a son together now. His first biological child. You gave him that gift. Yeah, there’s the Sheila thing, but… You’ll keep an eye out, right? Yeah. Fingers crossed.

Yeah.

But honestly, I don’t think we’re gonna have any surprises or shocks like that ever again. Well, I certainly hope so, for… both your sakes. You’ve– you’ve weathered the worst of it. Right now, you just deserve to relax and enjoy each other and your family. I totally agree. [phone chimes] Uh, it’s-it’s Finn. He’s actually on his way home right now. Okay. Uh…I’m gonna go, give you guys some alone time. Yeah, something we haven’t had much of lately.

[chuckles]

He’s been tied up at work. Oh! Wait.

Wait.

Wait?

Steffy: Yes. Um… Ah! Okay. Ah!

Wh–[laughs]

Hold on, hold on. What are you–ohh. Ohh. Happy birthday, Liam. You take care of yourself, okay?

I will.

Okay. Hey. Things work out the way they do for a reason. You and Finn are meant to be together. Forever. [soft music plays] [birds calling] I’m sorry, Finn. [sniffles] I’m so sorry. [Steffy humming] [both laugh] Baby, hi!

I missed you.

Hi.

We missed you so much.

I missed you too. More than you possibly could know. How do I tell you Luna’s my daughter? [intense chords] My daughter…my daughter… my daughter…

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[dramatic music]

Mother. Hi.

Hello, sweetheart.

No big Valentine’s Day plans?

Well, not with Roman still in Chicago, visiting with Rex.

So you’ve come to visit one of your other sons.

Oh, well, it looks like the other son is getting ready for a hasty getaway.

Don’t worry. I’m not leaving Salem after everything I’ve done to secure my place at Titan. But I am moving out of the inn.

Oh, well, well you should. I mean, if you’re gonna be staying in Salem, you need a permanent place to live. Did you look at those new lofts down by the harbor?

No, actually, I didn’t, because I’m moving into my father’s house.

My God, I am so happy to be out of scrubs. I had three emergency appendectomies today, which means that I was on my feet for approximately– [tender music]

What’s all this?

Happy Valentine’s Day, darling.

Javi’s spending the night at Leo’s, and Jada just moved out.

And Rafe?

I don’t know if or when he’ll be back.

So does that mean–

We have the place to ourselves. So if you want to spend the night…

Mm, I–I thought you would never ask.

Yeah.

No. No, no, no. I understand just fine. And listen, I think it’s very sweet that you want to stand up for me, but you don’t have to, not in this instance, anyway.

You think I’m sweet, do you?

[laughs] I suppose that’s what I said.

Well, you’re certainly right about one thing.

Hmm?

I do want to stand up for you but not because I don’t think you can handle yourself but because I care about you, Belle.

See? Sweet.

Also, I don’t like the idea of someone else giving you kisses on Valentine’s Day.

Oh, no?

Mm.

Oh, well, who do you think it should be?

Oh, well, let me show you.

Mm.

Mm. So would you care to join me for a drink?

Lead the way.

Oh, no, no, no. After you, please.

[chuckles] [country music]

Who does Rafe think he is, asking me to come up to his room after he ruined my career and he betrayed me in the worst possible way? You are the only Valentine I need tonight, you and a bunch of your little friends.

Jada, sure you want to do that? [dramatic music]

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

[soft music]

There we go.

So…[clears throat] What are we doing?

I believe you call this having a nightcap. [glasses clink]

[chuckles] Yeah, I get that part. I mean what are we doing in the broader sense?

Can we just live in the moment and not overthink It? I mean, that’s been our mantra, right?

Yeah, but, you know, you just kissed me. And as you pointed out earlier, it is Valentine’s Day.

Your point being?

Well, at the risk of overthinking it…

[chuckles]

Feels like the kind of thing that actual couples do.

I suppose that’s true, but it’s not as though we made plans for the holiday. You just happened to stop by here.

Right.

Unless… [gasps] You wanted to stop by here…

[clears throat]

Because you wanted to be with me for Valentine’s Day.

[chuckles] And if that was the reason?

Ooh. A successful, accomplished, fascinating woman wanting to be with me on Valentine’s Day? Well, I would feel… very, very lucky indeed.

Hmm. [sighs] So you’re moving into the Kiriakis estate.

Is that surprising? I’ve lived there before.

Yes, you have, but not when your brother Xander was head of the household, your brother who historically can’t stand you.

And the feeling has been mutual.

[sighs] So my question is, how did you talk him into this?

It was Xander’s idea.

[scoffs] Really? Xander invited you to live there?

Yeah. I was over at the house the other night, talking business. And strangely enough, we were getting along.

Oh. Oh, the wonder of all wonders.

We were getting along so well, in fact, that he suggested I move in. And since I do, as you said, need a more permanent place to stay…

Yes. Yes, I did say that. But come on, Philip. Not there. Anywhere but there. [dramatic music]

This is all for me?

For us.

[laughs]

Valentine’s dinner for two, just like we talked about.

I thought we were going to the Bistro.

I know, but when you texted me that you were heading into your third surgery of the day, I thought maybe a nice relaxing dinner at home would be just what the doctor ordered, so…

And the doctor is so very grateful. And I’m also grateful that you got our little girl down for the night. Yeah, I checked the nursery before I got changed.

Well, Victoria is not only down for the night, but I gave her a bath…

Mm-hmm.

And read her two bedtime stories.

You got her to go to sleep after only two stories?

I made her a deal: four stories tomorrow as long as she let me get ready for my hot date with her mum tonight.

Oh. She may look like a sleeping angel, but that girl drives a hard bargain.

Just like her mum.

[laughs]

Dinner will be ready soon.

[gasps] You cooked?

Well, I did consider making my world-famous haggis, but it’s not the most romantic food. So yeah, I let Henderson and Cook handle the menu.

Mm, that’s a good call. Well, since you seem to have thought of everything, I guess all that’s left is for me to show you my gratitude. [chuckles] [tender music]

I’m pretty comfortable with my choice. Anything to help me forget about my latest run-in with Rafe.

Oh, no. What–what happened now?

I went to tell him that I was moving out of his house and staying with Stephanie.

And what did he say? He try to talk you out of it?

He tried to talk me into his bedroom.

Wait, you mean–

Yes, I mean. [scoffs] Can you believe that?

I mean, a week ago, I– I would have said no way, but now I’ll believe anything you say about the guy.

What an ass, right?

Yeah, I mean, he’s– he’s making some very strange choices. I’ll give you that.

What is going on with him? I mean, how did he become this whole different person? I just–I don’t understand what changed.

Sounds to me like he changed.

[sighs] Maybe you were right. Maybe that coma did somehow screw with his personality.

It’s possible.

Well, whatever the hell it is, I’m tired of trying to figure it out.

Hey, listen. Listen to me. All right, I know–I know that you’re hurt, all right? You’re frustrated. And hey, I would be too. But coming from someone who spent a lot of time trying to drink their problems away, I’m telling you, it’s a very bad idea. [dramatic music]

OK. Any better ideas on how to get out my aggression to stop me from smashing Rafe’s face in? [soft music]

Best two out of three?

[light music]

So are you saying you wanted me to come over and spend Valentine’s Day with you or, rather, Valentine’s evening?

Let’s just say my heart did skip a beat when I saw you at the front door.

I didn’t know you were such a romantic.

Well, I admit I’m not usually the sentimental type…

[scoffs]

Nor do I go all in for holidays created by the greeting card industry. But I have been enjoying our time together.

So have I. But, of course, that does come with some issues.

Issues?

Well, I’m sure it’s occurred to you that I’m the DA and you’re someone who’s, shall we say, a little fast and easy with the law.

You do know I was DA until very recently.

Mm-hmm. How’d that go for you?

Point taken.

[chuckles] All I’m saying is that everything is good right now, but I just can’t help but wonder if…

If you’re setting yourself up for a fall.

Am I?

[country music]

Oh, damn.

You do know that the point is to get the dart on the board, right?

[laughs] OK, you’ve seen me at the firing range. Do I ever miss a target?

[laughs] No, not very often.

98% accuracy, thank you very much.

Well, since my uncle discourages against the use of firearms in the pub, do you want me to give you a few pointers?

Sure, mansplain away.

No, it’s–no, it’s nothing like that, OK? It’s just a few little simple, helpful tips. That’s all.

Fine. Let’s hear it.

OK, so you’re gonna want to hold the barrel of the dart with three fingers, like this, right? You don’t want to curl your fingers too much, and you don’t want to squeeze the dart too hard.

Mm, heaven forbid. [laughs]

All right, so you’re gonna want to take your shoulder, your elbow, and your hand, and you want to go at a 90-degree angle, right?

Uh-huh.

Like–here, may I?

Go for it.

OK. Got to go up a little bit higher, just like that. You’re gonna want to hold the dart eye level, right there, all right?

Mm-hmm.

And then you want to follow through…

OK.

Just like–

[gasp]

Oh! Oh, my God! You got–that’s a bull’s-eye. Whoa.

Is it good?

Mmm.

[chuckles] Yeah, it’s perfect. I’m so happy to be home with my husband, away from the hospital, where everyone is in such low spirits, just worried that they’re gonna all lose their jobs.

Is it really that dire?

Mm. No one knows how bad it is. Since the board declared bankruptcy, we’re all just left scrambling to figure out what’s next.

Could the hospital really close? [dramatic music]

The staff seems to think so. So everyone’s, you know, jockeying for position and trying to find new and interesting cases and procedures to make themselves look good for prospective employers.

So that’s why you had three appendectomies today.

Yes, and I fear there’s only more of that to come if we don’t just start playing the game.

What is that look?

I was just wondering, what if Titan bought the hospital?

Come on.

I’m serious. I’ll have my financial guy make the call in the morning.

That’s a very sweet offer, but… I don’t think that the “for sale” sign is quite up yet.

Well, whatever happens, you don’t have to worry. Even if you don’t get another position immediately, your doting and adoring husband will take care of any and all expenses. [glasses clink]

Oh. Are you saying I’ll be a kept woman?

Kept by the CEO of Titan Industries.

Co-CEO, along with your new best friend, Philip, aka our new roommate.

I–I don’t get it. Why are you opposed to me moving into the Kiriakis mansion? Have you changed your mind about me being entitled to my birthright?

No, of course not. It’s just the fact that Xander lives there too. And unless there’s something that I’m missing, you two hate each other’s guts. So why the hell would he be inviting you for a permanent sleepover?

So you think there’s some ulterior motive here?

I don’t know what his motives are. I really don’t. And it’s fine for you guys to get along, but to live in the same house together? Something could slip at any time, Philip.

You mean I could slip.

Yes, you could slip. It’s too damn close for comfort, OK? [tense music] What if the truth about Victor’s letter comes out?

Mm. [sighs] Sorry, I know it looks like a bomb went off in here.

It’s fine.

Mm. I’ve been so busy at work. I wasn’t expecting company.

Gabi, do I look like I care? [light music]

You know what? Just let me pick it up, OK?

Look, no, don’t– hey, look, if it makes you feel better, I can just– I can add my own mess.

OK. And I’ll add more to mine.

Mm.

All right, you ready for this? I’m feeling it now.

All right, let’s see what you got. [country music]

Oh, look at that.

I mean, it’s not exactly a bull’s-eye, but–

It’s pretty dang close.

Yeah, it is pretty– pretty dang close.

[chuckles] Unlike some people, I did not grow up in the Brady Pub. But you made a mistake, buddy. You taught me all your secrets.

Oh. Oh, no, no, no. I did not teach you all my secrets. I only taught you some of them.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

What didn’t you tell me?

Well, you remember how I told you this was a good way to get your aggression out? You know what really helps me is that when I throw this thing, I picture that bull’s-eye– I picture that bull’s-eye just being EJ’s face.

Really?

Yeah.

What, you just throw it right at him?

Oh, yeah, it is– it’s very satisfying, trust me.

Oh, I bet it would be.

Yeah.

Can I ask you something?

OK.

Look, yesterday when I told you that I thought that Belle and EJ were still sleeping together, you said that you didn’t think I was wrong. [dramatic music]

I did?

Yeah. Can you tell me why you said that?

Because EJ doesn’t seem like someone who gives up easily.

You know, you’re a really bad liar.

OK. Because when I went over to his creepy mansion to confront him, Belle was there.

Wait, you– you walked in on them?

No, no, no, no. It–it was nothing like that. Belle was fully dressed. She claimed that she was there to see Johnny, but I had the feeling that she wasn’t being truthful.

Wow. So she is still sleeping with him.

If you’re asking if I’ll ever again do something that you don’t approve of, highly unlikely.

[scoffs]

However…

However?

What I can offer you is certainty. You know exactly what you’re going to get with me, Belle.

[sighs] I don’t think that’s all that comforting.

Well, I’m afraid it’ll have to suffice. Because if you’re wanting me to change, I’m afraid you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. I’m not Shawn.

I’m not comparing. But since you brought him up, I’m thinking that if even a “good person” like my ex-husband could hurt me so badly, Lord knows the odds are not in my favor with you.

Hmm. And yet here you are.

Here I am. But I’m also not naive, so… if you’ve done anything that would make me walk out of here and never look back, now would be a really good time to tell me.

Would you stop obsessing over that letter? No way Xander is going to find out that we forged it.

Oh, no? What if his wife decides to tell him?

Why would Sarah say anything now? Then he’d know she’s been lying to him or at least lying by omission.

Mm-hmm.

So she has just as much to lose as I do.

Hmm, are you sure of that?

Yes, I am. The longer Sarah keeps the truth from him, the more upset Xander will be if he finds out. Not just upset– I doubt he’d even want to stay with someone who lied to him about his birthright. Her whole marriage rests on keeping this secret.

[sighs]

Are you not pleased that I invited Philip to stay here?

Well, I mean, I was surprised. The whole thing felt– I don’t know–impulsive.

Well, it was. But you have to admit it makes sense. I mean, we were firing on all cylinders, talking strategy. I just–I just realized how much more we’d get done if he just lived here.

So you’re just gonna be working all the time?

No, but you know how these things go– conversations over the breakfast table, late-night strategizing.

That sounds like fun.

I thought this would make you happy.

Why would Philip moving in here make me happy?

Because you were the one who told me I should make an effort to get along with my brother. I mean, in a way, this is all happening because of you. [tense music] What’s that look? What is it?

Xander, I need to tell you something.

[dramatic music]

What is it, darling?

Xander, I know that I’m the one who encouraged you to get along with Philip, but… maybe I pushed too hard.

What do you mean?

Well, what I mean is, I– I don’t want you to be disappointed.

Disappointed how?

Well, I mean, you spent most of your life being an outsider, looking in on your family, feeling like they didn’t respect you or embrace you.

And now I’m CEO, co-CEO with my brother.

Yeah, and I just– I feel like you’re putting a lot of stock into that relationship. And while I–I hope that everything goes well, I don’t want you to be hurt if it doesn’t.

I appreciate you looking out for me. I really do, my love. But you have nothing to be concerned about. I know Philip. And I know myself. I’m going into this with my eyes wide open.

[sighs] I appreciate you worrying about me.

Well, it’s a full-time occupation.

Yeah, I get that. But I promise, Mom, everything will be fine.

Oh, thank God. Because nothing’s ever gone wrong after someone uttered those words.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, in this case, nothing will go wrong. Trust me.

I am going to trust you because I know that I’m overprotective. But I just want you to be safe, baby. I love you. I want you to get everything that you deserve.

I love you too. And hey, do you want to go grab something to eat in the square before I head over to the mansion?

OK, that’s very sweet of you to offer to keep your mother company on Valentine’s Day, but actually, I’m fine.

You sure?

Oh, yeah, I have great plans. I’m going to fix myself some milk and cookies, and I’m going to binge episodes of “The Traitors,” so…

Mm. Sounds like a plan.

Mm.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

Happy Valentine’s Day to you. Be careful.

Mm. Now I wish I’d turned off the lights. [chuckles]

Really? I–I–I don’t.

Yeah, but the room looks like such a disaster.

Yeah, I know. I mean, especially this bed. It’s so disheveled. It’s like something crazy happened here.

[chuckles]

What’s wrong?

Nothing. [sighs] It’s just, I was thinking about Rafe, how when I was growing up, he’d always tell me how important it was to wake up every morning and make my bed, clean my room. Uncluttered room, uncluttered mind.

That sounds like the Rafe I know.

Yeah, definitely not like the guy he’s been the last few weeks.

No.

You know, I– I just don’t understand how he could have done this to Jada. I mean, he humiliated her in front of half the town.

Yeah. I wish I had an answer. It’s just so weird that he would investigate her in the first place.

Yeah, it’s all weird.

You said you talked to her, right? How’s she doing?

About like you’d expect. I wanted her to know I’m on her side.

You believe she’s innocent?

Of course I do.

Same, which is why it just– it doesn’t make sense that Rafe supposedly found all this evidence against her.

You know, Jada’s convinced that EJ set her up, which sounds pretty reasonable to me, considering that he’s the one that hired Rafe to dig up dirt.

Well, then maybe it’s time I help Jada prove her innocence.

OK, this is it. This is the one. I can feel it.

OK, remember, aim for EJ’s smug face, all right?

Take that, you arrogant son of a bitch.

Oh!

Oh, yes! Oh, my God. I did it. Did you see that? I did it.

Yeah, I see it. You know what that means? That’s game.

Game? You–

You won.

I won?

Yes.

I beat you, really?

Really.

[laughs] Yes. Take that, you mansplaining– [country music] Wait a minute. You let me win, didn’t you?

What? No. I didn’t–no.

OK, now who’s the bad liar?

OK. I just–I felt that you needed a win. [soft music]

What I needed was a friend.

Thank you.

OK, there is something, isn’t there? Yeah, I just saw a little flash of guilt go across your eyes, didn’t I?

Belle, please understand that I did not set out to do any of this. Just one thing led to anoth– [phone ringing]

It’s Paulina. I’m sorry. I have to get this. [tense music] [clears throat] Hello, Madam Mayor. Oh? Uh-huh. OK. Well, thank you for calling.

[clears throat] Everything all right?

[groans]

You tried to get me fired? What the hell is wrong with you?

For the record, I didn’t ask Paulina to fire you so much as I asked her to give me my job back.

A job that I currently hold.

No offense, Belle, but is it not hypocritical of you to get angry about this, considering you took my job first?

I did not take your job. I was offered your job.

You see the irony here, right?

So–so, what, have you been– you’ve been plotting this behind my back the whole time?

[sighs]

Oh, is this what you were going to confess?

Well–

Well, I suppose that I should be grateful, right, that you were about to admit it?

Because I don’t enjoy lying to you, Belle. [tense music] But now that you know the whole truth… [clears throat] I assume this is goodbye.

You assume wrong. [dramatic music] [country music]

Hope you saved me some of those.

[laughing] Oh, honey, you’re back.

Of course I am.

Oh.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Katie. Happy Valentine’s Day.

Mm.

Oh, sorry. I didn’t know anyone was in here.

Well, now you do, so…

I thought you said you were going to the Bistro.

Yeah, just a wee change of plans. Sarah had a very long day.

Got it. Well, let me get out of your way.

Oh, no, no, no. Help yourself to a drink, and keep my wife company. I’m gonna grab our desserts from the kitchen.

OK. [tense music] Don’t worry. I’ll leave you alone. I need to unpack anyway.

You do that.

You’re OK with me moving in, right?

Well, I guess have to be. Xander wants you here.

So you don’t approve?

I have my reservations.

As did my mother.

Hmm. But I think it’ll be good for everyone in the long run.

It damn well better be.

[grunting]

[chuckles] You know, I could have carried it myself.

What, and risk you injuring your dart-throwing hand? No. Come on, there’s no way.

And you didn’t have to escort me home either.

Yeah, well, my mother basically drilled these manners into me. And you don’t defy Hope Brady.

[chuckles] Well, tell her thank you for me. You know, Stephanie gave me a key. I hope I didn’t leave it at the pub.

I mean, we could just try knocking.

Well, she texted me a little while ago. She’s still at dinner. So the place is empty. [light music]

I didn’t think you were going to be back till tomorrow.

You think I was gonna miss being with my very beautiful and very sexy wife on Valentine’s Day?

Mm-hmm. Well, you cut it pretty close.

Well, you should have seen the traffic.

Oh!

But hopefully… this will make up for it. [country music]

You don’t have to make up for it. I mean, you’re back. That’s all that matters.

Yeah, well, then maybe it’ll make up for what happened with “Body & Soul.” I know I told you on the phone this, but I am so sorry you had to give that show up.

I know. I’m gonna miss it. But I guess I’ll have to just put my efforts into some new endeavor, right?

That’s my Katie.

So what’s in it?

Well, why don’t we go upstairs and you can open it up after?

After what?

After “The Traitors.” [laughter]

Oh, my God, you know me too well. Wait, cookies. My darling. [laughter]

Believe me, Sarah, I don’t want the truth about that letter to come out any more than you do.

So we’re on the same page, then.

Absolutely.

Same page about what?

That I should take a room in the west wing.

Hmm, plenty of vacancies there.

Great. And I should go get settled.

Yeah, well, let us know if you need anything.

Thanks. Have a great night.

Philip, I just wanted to say that I’m glad you’re here.

Yeah?

Yeah. And I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating. I think our father would be very happy to see both his sons living under the same roof. It’s gonna be great for the company and the whole family.

I think that too.

Well, your dessert, madame. I brought this in from the outside world.

This isn’t from Sweet Bits.

It’s from the pub.

From the pub?

Go ahead and open it.

Huh. [tender music]

Xander, this is the same cake that I brought you.

That morning after Valentine’s Day a few years ago. It was such a perfect gift, I just had to reciprocate.

You do know that we’re already married, right?

Oh, I do.

[laughs]

Saying yes to you, best decision I ever made in my whole life.

I love you so much.

I love you with all my heart.

I’ll reach out to Shawn. We’ll look into all the allegations against Jada, see if anything links them to EJ.

Really? You’d do that?

Of course I would.

That’s amazing. I mean, if you’re able to prove that EJ was behind everything, well, I’ll…

You’ll what?

Well, I’ll start by… cleaning this room. [laughs]

Wow.

Mm.

Wow, you really mean business.

Yeah.

Look, are you sure you’re up for this? Going after EJ is never easy. [tense music]

After that bastard had me locked up for something I didn’t even do, I would love to see him put away for something he actually did.

I should get started right away.

Ah, ven aquí. Look, as much as I’d like to see EJ pay, it can wait till after Valentine’s Day.

Right.

Yeah.

No, it can definitely wait. [tender music]

I should go.

Yeah. Thanks for seeing me home.

Anytime. [dramatic music]

I can’t. Sorry. As much as I hate Rafe right now– and believe me, I really hate him…

I still love him.

Hey, I– I totally understand. I had a lot of fun tonight. But we got to make sure that we– we don’t do anything that we regret, especially considering you’re still thinking about Rafe and I’m still thinking about EJ and Belle.

So I assumed wrong that this is goodbye even though you threw a drink in my face.

I was upset.

Clearly.

But now that everything’s out in the open, I can be better prepared.

Prepared for what?

Whatever you’re gonna throw at me while you go after my job.

My job.

My job. And you should be warned, I give as good as I get.

Is that a threat?

What’s the matter? You afraid of a fair fight?

Oh, hardly. I look forward to it.

May the best DA win.

I will.

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

That’s great champagne. It’s my favorite vintage. We had this in Germany. We did. An amazing champagne from an amazing night. ♪♪ Hey, Hunter. Um, could you help me find someone to take over for me here? Because I’m covering Katie’s shift, she had an emergency, but I can’t stay. Okay, great. Thank you so much. Bye. Joss. Hi, you two. What can I get you? Just a coffee. Thanks. I’ll do a matcha latte with a splash of oat milk. Great. And, Joss, when you have a second, maybe I could get a couple minutes of your of your time. Hey, hold the door. Oh, hey. What’s going on? I thought you were at the Savoy doing a Valentine’s Day serenade for Brook Lynn. I did. It went great. She was totally blindsided by it and loved it. That’s good. So, w-what are you doing here, alone? Uh, Lulu called. There was an emergency at Deception. It may be morning in Helsinki, but it is still nighttime here. Now, I have called someone to help you. If you can just be patient, like, at all… Please hold. Thank God you are here. This guy — Just give me the phone. This is Brook Lynn Quartermaine. How can I help? I’m guessing this is not how you expected your Valentine’s Day to turn out. Nope. Not that I’m complaining. What you did for Chase and Brook Lynn, letting him surprise her with a concert? Babe… Turned out nicely, didn’t it? Yes. Yes, it did. And I love this romantic side of you. I do aim to please. Oh, baby. ♪♪ Good evening, Elizabeth. Uh, may — may I come in? I-I have an urgent matter to discuss with you. It’s late, and I’m exhausted. Can we talk about this tomorrow? Look, you don’t understand. I-I’m afraid this just can’t wait. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ Please forgive me for barging in like this, but it — it really can’t wait. Can we — Can we make this quick? ‘Cause I have an early shift in the in the morning. Well — Well, perhaps we could just have a seat and talk. I would rather stand if it’s okay with you. I’m — I’m sorry, Nurse Baldwin. Am — Am I making you uncomfortable? Well, like I said, it’s — it’s late, and we don’t really know each other that well, and you just invited yourself into my house. So maybe a little. This is v-very disappointing because I expected you to be excited to see me. Why is that? Well, because there’s so much you want to know about me. I mean, you have been asking around, yes? I thought I’d just give you an opportunity to ask me whatever you want right to my face. So, Emma, what do you need? I wanted to run something by you. Okay. My organization is holding a benefit, and I’d really like you to be a part of it. Oh. That’s great. I didn’t know that you had an organization. Yeah, it’s called SAAC — or Students Against Animal Cruelty. Well, I am definitely against that. Yeah, as any sane person would be. And, you know, since you used to be a big-time athlete and you’re really plugged into Port Charles and all of that. Oh, I’m — I’m so sorry. Just excuse me one moment. Okay, I know that she’s working, but seriously? No, there’s no “but.” And don’t get frustrated. Joss is working. So when she gets back, talk fast, get straight to the point. She’ll probably appreciate it, and it’ll probably reduce our chances of unforced conversational errors. Ah, okay, Mr. Olafsson, our CFO has authorized the transfer, so… Yes. Yes, I will speak with her. Vertu blessaour. [ Beeps ] [ Sighs ] So that’s taken care of? He’ll receive the payment first thing tomorrow. I’m sure he’s happy about that. I know I am. Lulu, what department do we work in? Marketing. And was that a marketing call? No. But he specifically asked for you or Maxie. Great! Yes. Maxie can authorize payments also. Did you even try to reach out to her? No. I wasn’t gonna ruin Maxie and Spinelli’s first Valentine’s Day back together. Oh, but you had no problem ruining mine? Hey, tell me about this concert. I mean, that was a pretty inspired Valentine’s Day gift. I mean, Brook Lynn must have really dug that. Oh, you should have seen her face. That’s awesome, man. I mean, it’s great you got up on stage again. What, it’s been like a year, right? Yeah, I was nervous at first, but then… I mean, I owe it big to Curtis Ashford. He really helped out. And, man, did I need it. What — Yeah, I had to do something spectacular to make it up to Brook Lynn. What are you talking about? You’re, like, one of the best husbands alive. Like, it can’t be that bad. No, it’s not that. It’s just… [ Sighs ] Whatever it is, man, you can tell me. It turns out I, um, I’m not able to give my wife the one thing that — that she really wants. Wow. Taking his nephew’s wife out for Valentine’s Day. That’s a choice. Yeah, but bringing Willow here to my club after I maneuvered him out of Aurora, honey, that is beyond a show of disrespect. It is, in fact, a throwdown. And what’s going on with Willow? How can she not see what a bad guy Drew is? I mean, I guess it’s true what they say. Love is blind, right? Yeah, whatever that is. Because it certainly ain’t love. Okay, how about we just let it go? Because it’s a beautiful night and you got a beautiful crowd, and there’s no need to ruin it by having a fight with a congressman. To the most beautiful woman in the room. ♪♪ Hey, what is it? I’m just wondering what Lucas is doing with Brad on Valentine’s Day. That’s ironic. What is? You’re getting the stink eye from Willow. Just Willow? Okay. I know I’m in no position to judge, but she is clearly on a date with her husband’s uncle while said husband is in a German burn unit. That’s just wrong on so many levels. Yeah, well, it’s not our call to make. I see what this is about. So you’re not denying that you made inquiries at G.H. and Turning Woods and the mission? What would be the point of denying it? [ Chuckles ] What indeed. And what information did you find out? You know, because I would be happy to clear up any confusion. Cyrus, this is a much bigger conversation than I have the bandwidth for. So can we — can we just talk about this — You know, I’m really sorry that — that you’re tired, but there is really no time like the present. You’re not leaving until we talk about this. I-I couldn’t. Not in good conscience, no. Fine, then I’ll start at the beginning. “Let there be light”? Why did you try to kill Lulu? Donna: Mommy! Sorry. It’s fine. Coming. So far we have Kai Taylor signed up to host SAAC’s benefit. Oh, well, that’s great. You used to be a star athlete, too. Oh, I was never in Kai’s league. Joss? Never in Kai’s league. Trina told me stories. You once spiked a ball so hard, you broke a girl’s wrist. Never even remotely close to Kai’s league. Okay, well, even so, I think you could help me put this benefit over the top. Okay, it’s one of SAAC’s first big events in Port Charles, and I really want it to succeed. Also, I haven’t really been in Port Charles in a while, and I don’t really know people like you do. I mean, come on, you probably know everyone, right? You’re hooked in with the Q’s and the Corinthoses. That’s like half of Port Charles right there. Yeah, and you’re a Spencer. So all of that together kind of makes you a star. Well, I don’t think that’s true, but how does all of that translate into me helping you? I want you to be an underwriter for the Students Against Animal Cruelty benefit. Listen, it sounds great. I’d love to help you out. That’s great. But I just really don’t have the time. Okay, we’ll work around your schedule. I mean, it’s one speech. I’m — I’m… I’m super sorry, Emma. It’s just I’m kind of going through a lot right now. We get it. But, seriously, I’m more than happy to donate, and I will tell my family to as well. Slacktivists just throwing money at a problem isn’t gonna do much. I’m not saying that you are one. It’s just… Well, you kind of did. I didn’t mean it. Okay, sometimes I just… It’s just that you could really make a difference, okay, and you could be influential in ways that most people can’t, including me. All right, so I am sorry if I sounded like… Ungrateful dog with a bone? Yeah. That. Emma… I know what it’s like to get super caught up in something that you care about, all right? Nothing’s gonna stop you from doing what you’ve got to do, right? Absolutely. And maybe down the road, you know, if that schedule clears up, then… I can’t make any promises. but absolutely, if it clears up I will let you know. It sounds great. I’m just — I’m going through a lot right now. We know, Joss. We — We didn’t mean to ambush you at work. No, no. It’s fine. I-I do have to get back to the customers, though, but please send me the information for the donations, okay? What are you talking about? You and Brook Lynn are great. Or at least you seem to be. Yeah, in most ways we are. It’s… Look, I’m — I’m sorry… You know, we don’t have to do this here. No, I do, because if I don’t get this out now, I… I have to tell somebody. Okay, man. Yeah, whatever it is. ♪ They knew there’s a storm up ahead ♪ I just found out that I can’t give Brook Lynn the family that — the family that we want to have. N’neka? Boss. Congressman Quartermaine is no longer welcome here. If he comes to the bar to order a drink, we don’t serve him. If he calls to book a table, we’re full. Got it? Understood. Do you want me to ask them to leave? I’ll take care of it myself. You got it. I will never forgive Brad for what he did. Nor should you. He watched Michael grieve his son for months. He allowed Lucas to believe that Wiley was theirs. And then after all that, they’re back together? Or they’re just two people having a drink. And then for Lucas to say what he said to me on Christmas. I’m sorry. No. No, no, no. If people judge us, that’s on them, not us. What — What have we done that Brad and Lucas haven’t done? Or the Quartermaines, for that matter? Drew… Curtis! How are you doing? I don’t want you here. You are refreshingly direct, Nurse Baldwin. I’m a nurse. I don’t like to waste time. Very well, then, since you asked… My niece had been in a coma for four years with no sign that she would ever improve. But Laura and Rocco, the rest of her family, they all had hope. And what was poor Lulu enduring while they were hoping? You’re a nurse. You focus on the physical. That which can be observed. As a man of God, I-I consider what can’t be observed. The — The spiritual. Are you spiritual, Nurse Baldwin? I don’t advertise it. Yes, I am. I sensed that, which gave me hope that you would understand. I will do my best. You have seen people trapped in a bed, hooked up to machines. But just because someone can be kept alive doesn’t mean they should. Yes? I agree. But I also believe that it should be their choice. And what if they’re incapable of expressing that choice? I have watched families make that decision for their loved ones, to let them go. It’s — It’s awful. It always is. But in — in the end… Oh. In the end, it’s a gift. Lulu is your family. You understand. With Lulu, yes. But what about the others? The others weren’t your family. [ Sighs ] We’re all God’s children, are we not? And as such… One family. [ Voice breaking ] When I was volunteering, I saw so many people trapped in their own hell. That’s when I realized God had given me this mission to free these imprisoned souls. We don’t know that comatose patients are suffering. God sees them suspended between the f-flickering embers of consciousness and that bright, glorious light that leads to Him. You make it sound so beautiful. It is. And after four years of lying in a bed alone — her other family visiting her once a week, if that — wasn’t Lulu entitled to that beauty? And that’s why you turned off her ventilator? No, no. T-That was — That was much later. I apologize for not being more considerate of your Valentine’s plans, but I knew that it was too important to wait until tomorrow. He was threatening to cancel the shipment of zincite. Did you tell him he was overreacting? He was overreacting. That he should consider finding another buyer for his rare and precious mineral? Was there a transcript? Zincite is rare, Lulu. It is the key ingredient to our new night cream. Mr. Olafsson doesn’t need us nearly as much as we need him. You can’t talk to people that way. But you’re okay with him yelling at me? It must be hard being the one everyone’s looking at and judging. Uh, yeah. It is. [ Chuckles ] Sorry. I forgot who I was talking to. Don’t tell me you feel sorry for her? Well, maybe not sorry. But we all make mistakes. Yeah, and we all live with the consequences. Sometimes we do it behind bars. Other times we… do it out in the open in a banging sweet gown. I guess. But for someone in love, she doesn’t seem that happy. What the hell, man? You — You really kicking us out? No, I’m kicking you out. Michael’s wife is more than welcome to stay. Just not you. May I ask why? I don’t want you here. It’s my club, and I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. I see. So… So this is how it’s gonna be? It’s how you’ve been playing it, old friend. I’m just now playing the same game. Very well. We will take our business elsewhere. I know why Willow’s not happy. Guilt and denial. Once the denial goes away, she’ll be miserable. And when she’s done being miserable… What? I don’t know. It’s different for everyone. But one thing that I have learned — Lonely is lonely. Whether you deserve it or not. Change of plans. We’re not staying. I got a surprise for you. Well, look who it is. Donna, you remember Mr. Brennan, don’t you? I do. Hi, Mr. Brennan. Hello, Donna. Good to see you. Why are you here so late? Well, it’s not late for grown-ups. You look tired. You should go to bed. Thank you. Donna had a bad dream. Oh! Well, that’s no fun. What was it about? I don’t remember, but I know I didn’t like it. Why do we have bad dreams? It’s okay. You can tell her. Uh, well, Donna, we, uh… When we sleep, our bodies rest, but our brains are super active — so active that they have to distract us. So our brains show us little movies to keep us from acting out in our sleep. Hmm. Like sleepwalking? Exactly like sleepwalking. And when we have a bad dream, it means that something is bothering us. Mr. Brennan, how do you know so much about dreams? Well, I study psychology. Know what that is? Mnh-mnh. Well, I’ll tell you. My first attempt to free Lulu was a failure. I chose the wrong medication, and instead of liberation it only created unwanted attention. And that’s why her liver started to fail. I-If only the Lord had taken my sweet niece then, I… But, Cyrus, you did free Lulu. Just not in the way you intended. The Lord spared Lulu. Only He knows His holy purpose. I understand why you did what you did for Lulu and the other patients. Why Sam? Why did you kill Sam McCall? Because she got in the way of my carrying out the Lord’s work. Sam’s donation would have halted Lulu’s decline, but it wouldn’t have freed her from the prison she was in. It could only prolong it. And I had no way of seeing to her liberation. So killing Sam was a punishment. It was a consequence of her obstructing the Lord’s will. And it allowed me to see how firmly the Lord’s hand was guiding me. Because in seeing to Ms. McCall, I discovered the best way to free everyone else. Digitalis. Exactly. If not for Sam, I wouldn’t have discovered digitalis. It’s fast and effective, relatively painless. The suffering, i-if any, lasts only a moment. Once Sam helped me to see the rightness of digitalis, I had the means to continue my work. Right. And these tasks had to be completed when they were. There was no way of knowing the Lord was planning to return Lulu to us in all of her fullness. What about Dex Heller? He was young and in perfect health. Why did… Why did Dex have to die? So, what’s espionage? Well, it’s actually a word that comes all the way down from the Latin — Okay, that’s enough. All right. Why don’t you say good night to Mr. Brennan? Good night, Mr. Brennan. Good night, Donna. It’s been a pleasure. [ Laughing ] Okay. [ Cellphone chimes ] ♪♪ Officer Heller had seen me in the vicinity of Sam’s room. So you eliminated a witness? Forgive me for saying this, but that sounds less like the will of God and more like something the old Cyrus would do. You probably don’t know this, but Dex Heller almost killed me once. On Sonny’s orders. No, I-I did not know that. Well, and — and as my brother would say, it goes to motive. But I need you to know, I need you to believe that there was no malice in my heart toward Officer Heller. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ No, I-I forgave his transgression long ago. No, I had to remove him from the equation because… Because of the mission. Because if he exposed you, then what would happen to all those souls you needed to free? Am I close? You’re not close. I mean, you [chuckling] understand. I — I think I’m starting to. And since your mission was safe, you were able to try and help free Michael. Is that right? I-I wanted to liberate Michael from his physical suffering the same way I’d liberated others. Doing the Lord’s work. But there’s a… There’s another reason why you’re doing all this, isn’t there? What would that be? I spoke with your brother. He told me about your mother and how she’s suffering much like the people you’ve tried to help. Yes, yes. My mother’s suffering is what awakened me to — to — to my purpose. Martin keeps her trapped in a bed, just eking out an existence that barely qualifies as a life. I don’t know how he sleeps at night. If I could… You would set her free. As would any good son. You see people caught between this world and the next. And what you’re doing, i-it’s just a different type of healing. Right? Thank you, Nurse Baldwin, for understanding the importance of my mission. And…send. $100 is great, but I really need you. Thank you, Joss. Thank you. Thank you, Josslyn. No problem. Oh. Hey. Thank you so much. Yeah, I got here as soon as I could. We should be getting a ton of orders in a second. All right? Okay. You’re a lifesaver. Seriously. “Ungrateful dog with a bone”? You know, I’d really be upset if there weren’t some truth to it. Hey. You know that, on occasion, your approach needs work, and I’m not a good friend if I lie to you about it. I know. And I appreciate you telling me the truth, even if it’s not particularly flattering. You’re welcome. And this time, for what it’s worth, it wasn’t entirely you. This time? Gosh, I was hoping it wasn’t me most of the time. I know, I know. Friends speak the truth. And, well, the truth is, I think you’re a great salesperson, and I love how passionate you are about the things that you care about. I don’t want to get into this too much, but I will say this — It’s — It’s not her. It’s me. I’m sorry, man. I don’t know if you want to hear this. There’s only one way to find out. Well, there’s more than one way to have a family. Right. But we’re still dealing with this. I-I can’t even think about that yet. But I’m glad you brought it up. Brook Lynn, she — she deserves to be a mom. And I’ll do anything… anything to be a dad. I’m glad I was right about you. In what way? Well, Lucky had his suspicions, but I didn’t want to believe him. That’s why he started asking questions. But now I know that your purpose is not unlike mine — to help and to heal. Nothing must jeopardize the mission. Y-You understand that, right? Of course. S-So then you also understand why I have to do this. No, um, Cyrus… I’m so sorry. Cyrus, there’s got to be another way. Get away from her! I’m glad you’re not giving up, man. You’re gonna be a great dad. Brook Lynn seems to think so. I think it’s — it’s gonna work out for you, man. It’s not gonna be the same, but — but I think you guys will find a way. Thanks. I hope so. And you know, for what it’s worth, you know, when — when, uh, Lulu and I couldn’t have kids, I mean, that was — it was difficult. I’m sure. Yeah. And she was hurting, and I hated that. So instead of listening… You tried to fix it. Yeah. And that made everything worse. So not only was I not listening, but I was talking and not saying the right things, trying to come up with options and solutions and not talking about feelings. You know, I’m a cop from Bensonhurst. Guess I’m not great at that. You seem like you don’t have a problem with that, though. Yeah. Well, on that note, I, uh, I should get going. I think my wife would like it if I was waiting for her when she got home. So thanks for the talk. And the hot cocoa. Oh! Am I buying today? Yeah. All right. Get out of here. ♪♪ You up for another drink? Um… No, I’m — I’m done. Have a good night. Happy Valentine’s Day. Hey. Do I need to ask how it went? I made a decision, and Drew abided by it. Really? And that was it? No thinly veiled threats or passive-aggressive remarks from Drew? No threats. Um, as far as remarks, I wasn’t paying attention. I just wanted to make it clear to Drew whose club this was, and that we don’t need him ruining our evening. Okay. Keep ’em closed. Are they closed? [ Laughing ] Yes. Okay, all right, come on in. Come in. Wait. Okay. Open ’em. Wow. This is beautiful. Maxie consulted, helped me out a little bit. But you really like it? I… I love it. Of course I don’t want anyone yelling at you. I don’t want anyone yelling at anyone. Unless you’re yelling at me. Then you’re fine with yelling. I didn’t yell. I just had a lot of energy in my voice because the phone call was so important. And you had to come in here and handle it — which is your job, by the way. And a part of your job is answering the phone and being warm and courteous to our clients and vendors, especially those who are selling a very rare ingredient that is basically impossible to get! I was warm and courteous. At first. I-I called him “sir.” Did you call him “hysterical”? I’m not so sure about that. But h-his English and my Icelandic, the bottom line is, is when that Olaf guy called, I knew the paperwork is here, so I ran to the office and then I called you. No, the bottom line, Lulu, is you didn’t have to do any of that. Okay, you did, but not in that exact way. I didn’t know that. Of course you didn’t. You could have just made a phone call from your home to somebody else in their home, but it would have had to have been the right person. And I didn’t know that. And I thought you were the right person for everything. You act like you are. And you are not the only person who was inconvenienced here. Inconvenienced? You inconvenienced yourself. If you just paid a little bit more attention at this job, you would know what’s going on and who does what, and you wouldn’t get inconvenienced or inconvenience me! And there it is. You know, I was also doing something that mattered to me before the Iceland guy called. Lulu, do you think about anyone at any time other than yourself? Oh, please, Brook Lynn. You have managed to fail upwards spectacularly. You violate confidentiality on social media and end up running a marketing division. You — You get arrested three times, and then end up marrying the cop who arrested you. And worse comes to worst, you can always run back to the family mansion. You get everything you want. Not everything. Oh, please. Come on, you have the perfect life and the perfect job, and you’ve got this perfect husband, and soon the two of you are gonna have these perfect children. If you are not getting what you want, it is your own damn fault. Hey, what’s going on in here? ♪♪ I’m not gonna tell you again! Get away from her! Do not get in my way, nephew. [ Whimpers ] You know, actually, this works out a lot better. Now I don’t have to come find you. Right back at you. [ Both grunting ] I’m out of here. She’s all yours. Hey, um, I ran into Chase down at Bobbie’s. He’s on his way home. Great. If I hurry, maybe I can make the last two minutes of our Valentine’s Day. She was so out of line. Hey, what’d you say to her? Only what she needed to hear. Such as? That her life is perfect, and if she isn’t getting what she wants, it’s her own fault? All right, you got to — you got to back off Brook Lynn right now. You didn’t hear how she was talking to me. I called her in here to do her job, and then all she does is complain. Like she has anything to complain about. She’s got a perfect life with a handsome, devoted husband, a job she didn’t earn, working at a company run by her friends. Okay, there might just be things going on — Yeah, and in meantime, I wake up from a four-year coma to a life I don’t even recognize. You and I are standing across a four-year chasm. Rocco has grown up into a teenager, and I didn’t even see it. Charlotte is on the run with Valentin. And I came all the way here from — you know, I was gonna say “home,” but I don’t really have one of those either. So, by comparison, Brook Lynn’s life is heaven. Okay, I don’t think it is right now. Okay, really? Then tell me just one thing. You’re just gonna have to trust me on this, okay? But what I want you to do is just maybe cut her some slack. Why would I do that?

[somber music plays]

Brooke: This feels so right, having you back in the building. I’m not back. You should be. You and Eric should be here at Forrester. This is where you belong. Just like you belong at home with me. In our home. Not with Taylor. Text from your dad? No, but the way he left, I’m really wondering

if he ended up at Forrester.

[phone chimes] It’s possible.

What is it?

Oh, it’s… It’s Finn. He’s-he’s just working another double. I was really hoping he was gonna come home tonight. We haven’t really connected since our anniversary. We’ve kind of been like ships in the night right now. Mmm. Price to pay for marrying such a dedicated doctor. Oh, you mean all that care and dependability has a downside? Gee. Well, the upside is he never lets you down. No. He doesn’t. Well, I have two patients waiting on scans. [huffs] Yeah, I know you’re backed up. I’m swamped too. Okay. Well, just let me know. Thanks. My daughter? Did you know Ridge was gonna be here today? No! Quelle surprise! This is the first time he’s back in the office since he and Steffy lost control of the company. What’s he after? You…you have to know, though, that… Ridge didn’t come over here just to patch things up with you. He didn’t hold back. That’s for sure. Okay. So nothing’s changed. Not yet, but… I don’t know–for the first time, I feel like it could. Why? He was my best friend, Hope. And after seeing him, I don’t know, I’m wondering that maybe we’ve proven our point. Maybe it’s time to mend fences. [heavy music plays] What did Ridge say to you to make you question our work? Nothing. Well, can’t you at least let yourself take some pride in today’s accomplishment, with-with what we did with the jewelry line? I’m trying. I’m trying. It was a huge moment, but instead of celebrating, I feel like a traitor, like an imposter, Hope. Listen to me! They are purposefully planting seeds of doubt because they see that your plan is working. [whispering] Carter, you know yourself. You know that you are a good man. And you have nothing to be ashamed of, you hear me? Nothing. The last thing I was expecting today was seeing Uncle Ridge back at Forrester. Well, you don’t think he is, though–back? I mean, I doubt it. He, Steffy, and my grandfather were adamant that they wouldn’t work here under Hope and Carter after what they did. It was shocking to see Ridge. But it’s even more surprising to see him here with Brooke! I don’t think Steffy and Taylor would be thrilled about that. I’m so happy for you, sweetheart. I’m so proud of the life you’ve built with your beautiful family, the way you’ve handled this whole ordeal with the company, taking care of everyone, especially your father and grandfather. Well, I am my mother’s daughter. I see your namesake in you too. Stephanie would have fought this takeover just as hard as you have. Well, Hope definitely brings it out of me. She’s gone full Logan, just like Brooke. Please, Ridge, I know we can work through this. And how do we do this when you’re here with Hope and Carter? [scoffs] I don’t care about the CEO job. I’ll give it up. I just care about you. I want you back. HOPE: [whispers] Carter. You can’t let Ridge just… make you feel even more guilty than you already feel. I’m not letting him do anything, Hope. I already feel guilty. You know that. Taking over this company wasn’t an easy decision. For either of us. No, it wasn’t. But I still believe it was the right decision. So what now, we’re just– we’re going to overlook the way Steffy and Ridge have mistreated us? You did what you had to do in order to level the playing field. And I did it by tricking them out of their own company. You did it to save the company from their arrogant leadership, and now look. Forrester is flourishing. And they can see that. And instead of coming to you and apologizing and saying that maybe you were right, they want you to feel bad about it. Don’t let them. We worked so hard for this. And to just…allow them to– to come back and have a say when it was their toxicity that led to this division to begin with– I’m sorry, but no! We need designers. We have some designers. I’m sure we can find some more. And if Ridge really wants to come back and design, you have told him that he is welcome to. But as an employee. Because I am telling you right now that I will not answer to him. I will not answer to him or to Steffy. Never again.

Finn: I’ll never let you down again. I love you. Hey… -it’s you and me, Finn. -[chuckles] We can’t lose sight of that. And we can never let anything or anyone come between us again. Look, we’re really lucky to have so much love and support. Knowing that I have Finn by my side, I feel like I can face anything. Even taking orders from Hope temporarily.

[phone rings]

Mm. It’s Daphne. Bonjour. Steffy… you’re on speaker. Uh, I’m at Forrester with Zende. We just saw your dad. Dad’s at Forrester? Oui. And he’s still here. And I hate to tell you– he was behind closed doors with Brooke. Brooke’s there? Yeah. I wish I could tell you more, but I don’t know what they’re discussing. I just thought you and Taylor would wanna know.

Steffy: I really appreciate that. Keep in touch. Ridge is with Brooke? [edgy music plays]

Ridge: Come on. You don’t want me. More than anything. You know what I want more than anything? Try to control your daughter. [sighs] God, please don’t make this about Hope. It’s always been about Hope. I just didn’t realize that until just now. Even when Thomas fell for her, you knew that she was never gonna commit to him. So you’re bringing Thomas into this. My son Thomas? Yeah! He moved half a world away because he wanted to get away from your daughter. I haven’t seen him, I haven’t seen my grandson in I don’t know how long. And Steffy, she’s walking around here trying to find something to do. My dad is sitting on his couch at home, wondering what happened to the company he created! All because of your daughter. Because she wanted something. And she used my friend, my best friend, to get it. And that is unforgiveable. [dramatic chords] We haven’t been running things that long, but things are already better than they used to be. I mean, it’s our time now. When I was in law school, I couldn’t wait to be a litigator. I wanted to get to court, and I wanted to win. But I had a professor, and she said that winning isn’t enough. It’s how you do it that matters. Everything rests on integrity and honesty. It’s what separates the good from the bad. That’s what she said. Now, it wasn’t our intentions to betray anyone. We didn’t do this for payback or revenge. We had the most positive, genuine motives… but it came at a cost. [whispers] Yes. Okay, fine. Right. Ridge is angry. He’s upset. And we knew he would be. But why does his dignity get to matter more than ours? I mean, where’s the care when he just stands by and lets his daughter destroy my relationships and call me names like slut. I understand that this has impacted your friendship with Ridge and my mother’s relationship with him as well, but I am not going to continue to bend over backwards to appease a man who is incapable of taking accountability for his own actions. I refuse. This company is in the right hands. Your hands. And if Ridge comes back, it is going to be on our terms, not his. Look, Mom, I-I know that you’re upset right now, but of course Brooke was gonna corner Dad the moment he stepped inside the building. Any chance that she can get to work on him, she’ll take it. But you know that’s not why he went there, right? Your father’s been very open about how much their estrangement hurts him. Mom, you don’t have to worry about that. Honey, I’m not. I mean it. I’ve wasted years of my life bothered by her, letting Brooke chip away at my peace of mind. If your father wanted to be with her, he wouldn’t be living here with me. Yeah, you’re right. I’m just sorry she’s not letting Ridge move on with his life. I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised if right now she’s begging him to come back to her. Hope’s not using Carter. They’re in love. They’re in love. Does she love him the way she loved Thomas or the way she loved Finn? She’s made some mistakes. But you’re saying she’s not accountable for any of them. She just wanted to be respected

and supported.

Oh, I see. And Carter’s the first guy that ever did that for her. Okay, but that doesn’t mean she gets to take someone’s dignity away, someone’s life’s work away. I talked to Carter about it. He gets it. He knows this is wrong. And I think behind all this, you know it’s wrong. The only person that doesn’t know it’s wrong

is your daughter.

You know what’s wrong? You and Eric aren’t here running this business. And you and I are not together, and we should be. [sighs] I mean, this is crazy. It is crazy. Okay. Well, then, let’s do something about it. Why don’t we…fix it. Why don’t we do something to lead the way? We’re not–no. I’m not lead– You need to lead the way.

It’s you.

Then you need to listen to me. I don’t need to listen. Carter doesn’t need to listen because he gets it– he’s showing some remorse. The person that needs to listen is your daughter. She needs to know that it’s wrong to steal from people, and it has to stop. Ridge isn’t happy that we’re doing well. Your so-called friend wants us to fail, and he’s livid because he knows that we aren’t going to. So don’t just willingly give your power back to people

that have treated us like dirt!

Well, that’s over. They will never treat you that way again. You cannot promise that, Carter! You can’t! It is such an insult to hear them say that they think that I’m using you and putting ideas in your head because that means that they think that you can’t think for yourself, that you can’t stand up for yourself or anyone else or question their authority! I mean… They don’t know you like that. They don’t know me like that, and they are wrong about us. They don’t know what we’re capable of, and Forrester Creations is ours now. [uneasy music plays] [exhales] You deserve the truth. I have to believe that somehow we’ll get through this. Tomorrow. Tomorrow I’ll tell you that… Luna’s my daughter.

Steffy: I’m really proud of the way you’re handling this. Yeah, well, I’m just, uh, seeing things differently now. My relationship with your father, what we mean to each other. Even Brooke.

Brooke?

Yeah. I mean, for years, she was a dark cloud hanging over my life, a constant reminder of the things I wanted to forget. But she’s just a person. I can even admit that she has some good qualities. Wow. Okay. Well, a lot of faults as well. [chuckling] Ridge has seen them all. Ah, I used to wonder about that. If he could see them. If he was blind to them. But your father has grown so much, and so have I. Not only do I trust him, but I trust myself and what I see in his eyes. His love and commitment for me are real. Oh, Mom, I’m so happy for you and Dad. I really am. [soft music plays] You know I don’t like saying any of these things to you. Because deep down you know it’s not true. Oh, it’s true. Of course it’s true. Your daughter’s the source for this whole problem. Logan, we made Hope. She’s a big star all over the world because of Forrester, but she wanted more. She always wants more. And she wanted revenge. And with you– with you supporting her, she’s gonna terrorize everybody in this building. Ridge, Hope wasn’t terrorizing anybody! She worked hard for her position. And she was under constant threat by Steffy, over and over again! Steffy canceled her line. She fired her.

That’s no excuse.

Okay. Whatever. This is ridiculous! We can’t keep arguing over our children’s issues. I know you’re frustrated. I’m frustrated too. But you know how you handled it? You… you turned to another woman. I didn’t do that. I didn’t turn to anybody. Because the man that I’m meant to be with… is standing right here. Right here in front of me. [emotional music plays]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[romantic music]

[sighs] I think, uh– I think I should probably make that dinner I keep promising you before we get too carried away.

Mm-hmm, yeah, that sounds like a good idea. [laughter] And I’ll be right there to help you. I should just change first because this outfit’s a little– you know.

No, no, no, no, no, no, uh-uh, no, no. I promised you that I would make you dinner, and I intend to keep that promise. So don’t even think for a second about trying to help me, OK?

OK. Understood, Chef Black. Second of all?

Second of all, why would we bother putting on more clothes when we’re only gonna be taking them off?

Well, it’s just–

Hey, if you’re feeling self-conscious about only being half-dressed, then… I guess I’ll just have to join you.

Oh. [laughs]

I can’t wait to be with you tonight.

Neither can I. [wistful music]

Hey, Doug. Whatcha reading?

Oh, hey, JJ. Just looking at this song that Grandpa Doug wrote for Julie.

Can I see?

Yeah. Wow, this is–this is great. I can’t believe I’ve never seen this before. Or heard the song, for that matter.

Well, the book I found it in was left behind at the Horton Cabin about a year ago. I went to go get it for Julie, but by the time I got back, she was already in bed. So I figured I’ll just give it to her tomorrow morning.

That’s nice of you to go get it for her, though. Was that your first time over at the Horton Cabin?

Sure was, yeah.

Did you manage to get back before dark? I know things can get a little spooky when you’re up there by yourself.

Well, actually, it wasn’t just me. I also ran into Holly Jonas. [suspenseful sting]

Jada, hi. Sorry, I didn’t realize that you were home. Can I pour you a glass of wine?

Oh, thanks, but I’m good. I’m actually heading out.

Oh. Is this–

Yeah. This is the last of it. [sighs] And then I’ll be officially moved out.

Ooh, Abe, I can’t tell you how glad I am that Chanel is moving back in with Johnny, oh. Not that I was put out by, you know, being her host here, of course, oh, but I’m just so– so happy to see the two of them finally get back on track. Mm. Oh. Oh, Abe, I’m so sorry. Here I am, chattering on about Johnny and Chanel, and I haven’t even taken a moment to check in on you about “Body & Soul.” Oh, I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been to give it up.

Yeah. It was hard. You know I’m always– I will always be proud of the work we did.

Mm.

And it was the right decision.

Well, I must say, if there is one bright side to “Body & Soul” leaving town, it’s that I get to spend some quality time alone with my handsome husband.

[chuckles] Well, you know what? I will drink to that.

Mm-hmm.

Mm. [knock on door] Oh, apparently, I spoke too soon.

All right. [groans] Yeah, OK. [tense music]

Hi, Mom, it’s me. I’m just checking in. I know you’re probably missing Dad today, and trust me, we all are. But I know he’s doing everything he can to get back to us because he misses us, too. Anyway, I just stopped to get a quick drink on my way home from work, and I don’t really know when I’m gonna be home. So if you get this before I see you, just don’t wait up for me, OK? I love you. Bye.

Well, well, well, if it isn’t the new Ms. Salem DA.

[clears throat]

Mind if I join you?

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

[soft dramatic music]

Ah. I needed that.

Tough day?

I tell you, I cannot believe there are so many damn criminals in this town. I mean, give a guy a break. They’re nearly killing me.

You’ve been on the force for years. You’re just now realizing there’s a problematic workload?

Yeah, well, you know, it– listen, a coma, it can really do a number on a guy. And it definitely did a number on me. So it’s just taking a while to get back into the swing of things.

Right.

Yeah, especially after that train wreck that Jada left at the police department, and, you know, after she stole my job. So, yeah, no surprise that I’m feeling a little bit overwhelmed.

You know that Jada didn’t set out to steal your job, right?

Oh. I get it. OK. Team backstabber, huh? Mm-hmm. Well, you know what? It’s no surprise, considering that, uh, you pulled the exact same stunt with EJ.

[scoffs]

Madam Mayor, I, uh, hope I’m not interrupting.

Do you have any idea what day this is?

I do, actually. Happy Valentine’s Day to you both. I hope you’ll accept this as a token of my sincerest apologies for interrupting your evening. However, I thought you might want to discuss this matter privately and in person.

Uh, what matter? [scoffs] What do you want?

I’m here to talk to you about Jada Hunter.

Are you sure you have to move out?

Beyond sure. This is the last place that I want to be right now. No offense.

No, I completely understand. I guess I was just hoping that if Rafe were to come home, the two of you could still–

Work things out? Yeah. You know, if this was a few days ago, I might have agreed with you. But now, every conversation I have with that man, it just gets worse every time. I even returned the engagement ring last night. I mean, “return” is a bit generous. I pretty much tossed it at him.

If you don’t mind my asking, what did he say this time to get you so worked up?

I tried to talk to him about EJ setting me up. And you know what he said? He told me that I should just let it go.

What? He said that?

I know, right? I mean, not only did his feelings for me just magically vanish, he has now allied himself with EJ– EJ DiMera, of all people, a man that he supposedly despises.

I don’t get that.

Yeah. Shawn, he thinks that maybe his coma possibly altered his personality somehow, but I don’t know. Just thinking about this just makes my head hurt.

Jada… I’m so sorry. If there’s anything that I can do…

You know, at this point, to be honest, I just want this–just all of this to be over with. You know, after Bobby, I can’t go through this again. I can’t. So it’s–I think it’s time that I just move on. Get over it. Move on.

Jada Hunter.

What about her?

[clears throat] Put simply, you have a crisis on your hands. Now, we all knew from the very beginning you putting Jada in Rafe’s job was a huge misstep.

Oh, please.

You’ve already had to eat crow and suspend her. And to make matters worse, you replaced her with Rafe Hernandez, the very man you had her replace just a few months earlier.

I do not need a former district attorney to tell me how to do my job.

I’m merely a concerned citizen.

Concerned about what, exactly? You know, not too long ago, your concern nearly ousted Paulina as mayor.

I have no desire to retread that line of events. Believe me. I simply want to help the good people of Salem the best way I know how.

[chuckles] And how’s that?

Well, as you so kindly pointed out, I formerly served this great city as district attorney. And at the time, I was working alongside the current police commissioner, Rafe Hernandez.

So?

So you gave him his job back. How about giving me mine back, too?

What stunt did I supposedly pull on EJ?

Not supposedly. You stole his job.

I did not steal his job. Paulina offered it to me. I just accepted it.

OK, I think you mean Paulina and Jada. And from what I understand, Jada orchestrated the whole thing. You know why?

Yes, because she was trying to protect the department from EJ’s corruption.

No, no, because she wanted a DA that would kowtow to her, one that would look the other way so she could have the free rein to do whatever it was that she wanted.

Oh, come on, Rafe. You don’t really believe that, do you?

Well, you know, all the pieces, they do fit together nicely, wouldn’t you agree?

No. I would not agree. And I don’t think you do either. So why don’t you tell me what is going on?

I can’t imagine what this must be like for you. You and Rafe really seemed like such a great couple up until recently.

It’s fine, honestly. I’m just thankful that he showed me his true colors before we officially got married.

Well, it’s my brother’s loss. You deserve the best. I hope you know that.

Thanks. So do you. [clears throat] Speaking of, how are things going with you and JJ?

[sighs] That is a very good question.

Holly was up there, huh? I suppose she got the key from Maggie. Was she just hanging out, or…

Uh, she was waiting on her boyfriend, Tate Black.

You and Tate friends?

Not exactly. He and Holly were apparently planning to meet at the cabin for some sort of romantic Valentine’s Day rendezvous.

Mm-hmm. Unless I’m imagining things, I’d say you’re not too happy about that, are you?

Mm, that was amazing.

Yeah?

Seriously, I could eat it every day for the rest of my life. What’s it called again?

It’s spaghetti Bolognese.

Ah, very fancy.

I mean, it’s just spaghetti with red sauce, but it is one of my best dishes.

And how many dishes are we talking exactly?

OK, you don’t have to call me out like that.

I’m just wondering. [laughter]

However, I am a little bit out of my comfort zone when it comes to dessert. So I did go with the store-bought option this time. So I hope that’s OK.

Actually, I was kind of hoping we could skip dessert and go straight to something else. [sultry music]

Wow. You look– I don’t even have the words.

Then don’t use any words.

[gentle music]

You are so beautiful.

Finally found those words, huh?

[laughs]

So are you ready?

Yeah. You?

Yeah.

[sultry music]

You sure that you feel safe about this?

Yeah. I’m on the pill.

OK. Great.

Don’t worry, Tate. Nothing’s gonna go wrong. It’s gonna be perfect.

Well, it–it was just awkward, that’s all. I basically barged in on their romantic getaway. And then I made it even worse by–

By what?

Well, we were standing there looking at these romantic poems, and I just– I sort of let it slip that I have feelings for her.

Let it slip?

I basically just blurted it out. Man, it was so embarrassing.

No, hey, don’t sweat it. I’ve–I’ve been in basically the same situation you are right now.

Really?

A few times, actually.

OK, well, then, tell me, how do I get out of this?

Well, it depends. What’d Holly say?

Well, she didn’t really get a chance to say anything, because Tate walked in a minute later, and then I got the hell out of there. And look, I know that she is in a serious relationship, and I have absolutely no intention of getting between her and Tate. But I just– man, I don’t know what to do about these feelings.

Well, I think talking about them with someone other than Holly certainly helps. So anytime you need an ear, just– just let me know.

Well, thanks, man. I appreciate that. You know, I’m glad I was wrong about you.

What do you mean?

Well, ever since I came to Salem, I just– I had this feeling like you weren’t too sure about me.

In what way?

I don’t know, just, like, odd, I guess. But like I said, I’m glad I was wrong.

Actually, you weren’t wrong.

Huh?

I, uh– I feel a little weird telling you this, but I guess you deserve to know. I’ve, uh, sort of been keeping my eye on you.

You have? Why?

Well, to be honest, my mom thought you might have been the one who stole Julie’s necklace. [dramatic music]

I actually haven’t seen very much of JJ recently. I keep meaning to call him, but I know he’s been busy with his new job at Salem PD, and so I doubt he has any free time to spare. And it’s fine.

But it’s Valentine’s Day. It should be on him to make a little time. [knock on door]

Oh.

Hi. I have a delivery for Gabi Hernandez.

That’s me. Oh. [laughs] Aww. Thank you so much.

Have a great day.

Yeah, you too.

Mm. These are lovely. [sniffs] From JJ?

Yeah.

See? That’s what real boyfriends do.

Jada, I’m sorry. I, um–

No, no, no, please, don’t be. You should be happy. And you know what? I am glad that at least one of us is having a good Valentine’s Day.

Oh, you have got some nerve.

EJ, as urgent as this discussion may seem to you, why don’t we postpone it until, oh–

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, Abraham. It’s all right, all right? I already have an answer for him, and that answer is no way in hell.

Mm, do you really want Belle Black to continue in the position of district attorney, the woman handpicked by Jada Hunter before her history of lawbreaking was uncovered?

Ah–

What– what happens when Jada’s case goes to trial? Do you really think Belle will be prepared to prosecute?

I have complete faith in Belle Black.

Just like you had complete faith in Jada Hunter, right?

Jada Hunter’s case will be investigated thoroughly, intensively, and without bias.

[laughs] OK, OK.

I’m very confident that Belle Black and Rafe, for that matter, they will follow the evidence wherever it leads.

Hmm, so, uh, in other words, justice will never be served. OK. [tense music]

Nothing is going on. I just believe the evidence, that’s all. In fact, isn’t that what cops are supposed to do? Follow evidence?

And their intuition. I mean, I think any other cop with any sense would know that Jada would never do the thing she’s been accused of. I mean, Jada would never break rules to get ahead. She’s not ambitious like that. She’s just a–a hard worker and an honest cop and a really good friend.

Not ambitious? Not–wow, OK. You don’t really know Jada that well. You have never seen her go after something that she really wanted, something that she wouldn’t be denied?

I mean, like I said, she’s a hard worker. And, yeah, maybe she had her eye on the commissioner job a few years ago, but they gave it to Shawn instead.

Uh-huh. Yep. And, uh, how did little Ms. Hunter seem when she didn’t get it?

She was disappointed.

Mm.

Why wouldn’t she be?

OK. Well, I think that she was a little bit more than disappointed.

[scoffs]

Listen, I… you know, I heard that you and Shawn broke things off a few weeks ago, speaking of which, and, uh, I just want to say sorry. I know that’s got to be tough, especially on a day like today.

Suppose so. To be honest, I haven’t given it much thought.

Yeah. OK. You’re playing it tough. It’s good for you. But, you know, there’s no need to hold back on my account. Here you are. You’re all alone on the most romantic night of the year. You know, just– there’s no shame in wanting a little masculine comfort.

[gentle music]

[sighs]

[laughs]

Well, that was–

You don’t have the words?

Actually, I do have the words. That was everything I dreamed it would be, and more.

It was the same for me.

[sighs] God, I know it took a long time for us to get here, but I’m just so happy my first time was with you. It wouldn’t have been the same with anyone else. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, like, bring up–

Uh, no, no, it’s OK. I’m sorry. I wish I would have waited.

It’s OK. We don’t have to talk about it. I’m just glad we get to be together now, in this moment.

I agree. By the looks of things, I’d say I got here just in time tonight, huh?

What do you mean?

I just– I don’t know. When I first walked in on you and Doug, it just kind of seemed like he was about to make a move on you. [tense music] – Your mom thought I stole Julie’s necklace?

A lot of us did, actually. You remember that’s– that’s why I–

Why you asked me why I was in jail.

Yeah. Look, man, if it makes you feel better, and honestly, I hope it does, I don’t think that anymore. I’ve seen how you are with Julie, how much you care about her. And frankly, I really don’t think you’re capable of doing something like that to your family. Not back then, certainly not now.

JJ, I should probably tell you– [phone ringing]

Hold that thought. Hey.

Hey yourself. I just got your flowers. I can’t believe you remembered that lilies are my favorite.

Of course I remembered. And, hey, I’m so sorry. This is last minute. I just got off work, but would you want to go grab a drink somewhere?

How about here?

Your place?

Well, I kind of have the place to myself, more or less. And I have a bottle of wine with your name on it.

Well, then, how can I refuse? I’ll be right over.

Great. I’ll see you in a bit then. Bye. [soft music]

So he’s coming over?

Is that all right? I know you said you were on your way out, but if you wanted to stay, maybe the three of us could–

It’s fine, Gabi. Really, it’s fine. You and JJ enjoy your nice romantic Valentine’s evening alone. Besides, I have a very early start tomorrow.

Well, in that case, I just wanted to say, you know, Rafe may be my brother, and I know you and I may not legally be related. But regardless of all of that, I’m on your side on this 100%. No matter what happens.

Thank you, Gabi. That means a lot.

And don’t be a stranger, OK?

I won’t. I promise.

Paulina, do you mind if I handle this?

By all means.

EJ… [clears throat] You have some nerve showing up here tonight.

Oh, yes. I am terribly sorry for ruining your evening. How awful of me not to realize that the very fabric of our legal framework ranked lower on the list than, uh, good eating.

See, that’s the issue right there, pretending that this, all this, is about justice and community, when in reality, it’s all about you.

I beg your pardon?

EJ DiMera first, going all the way back to when you ran against me for mayor.

Now who’s the one making it all about themselves?

[scoffs] You know, I have a– I have a very capable wife. But this is my home, too. And I will take great pleasure in tossing you out of it. Now go. [soft dramatic music]

Fine. But self-serving or not, Madam Mayor, you know I’m right about Belle. Happy Valentine’s Day.

What the hell are you doing?

Sorry, what– did I miss something here? I thought I was catching a vibe.

Uh, not from me, you weren’t.

OK, well, all right. I just thought, you know, since I’m newly single, you’re newly single.

[scoffs] Well, that just gives you the right to hit on me like that?

All right, lady, take it easy.

No, you know what? You listen to me. That will never, ever happen again. And you and I will keep things professional between us, both in the office and out of the office, forever. [scoffs] What is going on with him?

You think Doug seemed like he was interested in me? [scoffs]

Yeah. It’s just, like, the vibe he gives off, the way he looks at you, like– just telling you, Holly, I think he has a thing for you.

I hope someone writes you a little inscription in a book like my grandfather did for Julie. “When I first saw you, that’s when I knew the truth. “You are the most beautiful, wonderful thing I’ve ever seen. And that’s all I ever need to know.”

Wow. Talk about big feelings. That’s pretty romantic.

Yeah, it is. And I feel the same way about you. [tender music]

When you came over on Christmas Eve, the moment I saw you, I just– I don’t know how to describe it. My heart skipped a beat.

I had no idea.

I’m such an idiot. I shouldn’t have said anything. You have a boyfriend. Can we just rewind five minutes and pretend that this never happened?

Actually, I don’t think I can, because I feel the same way about you.

Get a grip on it, Williams. She doesn’t feel that way about you. [somber music]

See? Now you get to enjoy them, too. And not only do they look beautiful, mm, but they smell amazing, too.

I smell something a little more. I’m gonna take a wild guess and say coconut.

Good guess.

Yeah?

Yeah. It’s one of our new scents at Gabi Chic. We were testing them out in the office today.

Well, if my vote counts, I’d definitely say it’s a winner. And listen, I’m– I’m sorry I haven’t been more in touch lately. I know we’ve both been really busy the past few weeks. But I, uh, don’t want you to get the wrong idea. It’s not a reflection of how I feel about you, about us. Not at all.

And how do you feel about us?

I feel very, very lucky to be here with you tonight.

I feel lucky, too.

Oh.

Mm.

Well, I’m glad we got rid of our third wheel.

Oh, don’t remind me. Oh, lord in heaven. [shudders] Ooh, I really do hate that EJ DiMera. [imitates choking]

Do you think he had a point, though, about Belle?

Oh, of course not. He was just trying to save his own privileged hide, exactly like you said. Although…

Although what?

He really did seem kind of desperate this time, you know, to get the DA job back. I mean, if a man like EJ DiMera is fishing around for power over the prosecution, then it’s likely a sign that he’s been up to no good. Now, the question is, what did he do this time? [tense music]

Well, I just hope that your mother can handle looking after both Ava and Rafe. But given their history, she doesn’t exactly inspire confidence, now, does she? [sighs] But we don’t really have much choice in the matter. Yes, you’re right. I agree. We need to come up with a long-term plan. Those two can’t stay locked up in your family’s summer home forever. [doorbell rings] I’ve got to go. We’ll talk more about this when you get back from work. [sighs] Belle. I wasn’t expecting to see you tonight.

Yes, well, I thought you ought to know that your newfound friend Rafe has one hell of a nerve.

He’s not my friend.

Oh, he is such a colossal jerk.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Calm down. Tell me what happened.

OK. I was at Small Bar, trying to enjoy a drink, alone, when he came over and started badgering me with a bunch of talk about Jada and the mayor. And then he just, like– he leaned in, and without any warning, he just–

What? Tell me.

He made a pass at me. He kissed me.

I’m going to kill him. [tense music]

Oh, hey there, Jadacakes. Long time no see. What’s up?

First of all, cut it out with the Jadacakes crap.

Well, come on. What, you still angry about what happened yesterday?

Second of all, FYI, I am all cleared out of your house. Any shred of evidence of our shared life together has either been moved out, torn up, or thrown out. It’s all yours now.

All mine, huh? Huh. So where exactly are you moving?

Not that it’s any of your business–

Yeah?

But Stephanie is letting me crash on her couch for a few days until I find a place of my own.

All right. Well, you can have a new place right away if you play your cards right.

What?

I got a big comfy bed right inside. You’re more than welcome to share it.

You know, whatever EJ is up to, I’m sure we’ll know soon enough.

Mm. Yeah, well, he and the rest of the people in Salem can rest assured I will not be giving him that DA job back– no way, no how. Oh, I won’t be making that mistake again.

[chuckle] Yeah, you know, sweetheart, I am, um– I’m sorry if I stepped on your toes when I told him off.

Oh, are you kidding? My big bad husband standing up to big bad EJ DiMera? [both chuckle] Well, it’s the best Valentine’s Day gift a girl could ask for.

Oh.

My heart is still beating a mile a minute just thinking about it.

Oh, well, maybe we should have a glass of wine just to calm you down.

Mm-mm! Mm-mm, I don’t want to calm down. I would rather get fired up for my hot husband.

Well, I do think that could be arranged. [chuckles]

[grunts]

Wait, wait, wait. Where are you going?

You said Rafe was at Small Bar, right?

OK, I don’t need you to rush off and fight my battles for me–I handled it.

Look, I’m sorry, Belle, but I’m afraid you don’t understand–

No, I understand just fine. And I think it’s very sweet that you want to stand up for me, but you don’t have to. Not in this instance, anyway.

You think I’m sweet, do you?

I suppose that’s what I said.

[sighs] Well, I mean, you’re certainly right about one thing. I do want to stand up for you, but not because I don’t think you can handle yourself, but because I care about you, Belle.

See? Sweet.

[chuckles] I also don’t like the idea of someone else kissing you on Valentine’s Day.

Oh, no? Who should it be, then?

Oh, well, let me show you.

Are you serious right now? Did I not make myself clear last night when I threw my ring at you and slapped you across the face? Or do you need a reminder?

Hey, I am just trying to help you out by giving you a place to stay, OK? You don’t have to be such a bitch about it.

You know what? You are an even bigger ass than I realized. I am sorry I ever met you.

[scoffs] Women. [scoffs]

So…

So?

So what were you thinking? We could, uh, order in, watch a movie, or, uh…

Do this? [tender music]

I’m sorry. That was a stupid thing to bring up.

No, it’s OK. It’s good we talk about these things. And for the record, Doug is just a friend, nothing more. So you don’t have anything to worry about, OK?

OK. Then I won’t worry. All right. I have good news, and I also have bad news. The good news is, uh, we still have that delicious dessert that I bought for us. The bad news is if we want to eat it, we should probably grab it now before we have to catch the last ferry home.

Whew, well, if that’s the case, I say let’s skip the dessert. [both giggle]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Come on, Detective, I don’t want to be late. Are you sure I can’t convince you to run a little later? There’s room for two in here. I didn’t know we were having live music tonight. Who’s that? A very, very special surprise performer. Does your wife maybe get a hint? Just a hint? Oh, honey. I’m sorry. You’re gonna have to find out when the rest of the club does. Oh, so much for having an in around here. Well, can I just tell you this? You look absolutely incredible tonight. Oh, honey, I’ll take that. Thank you. Mm-hmm. Who’s more beautiful than you? Oh. She just walked in. ♪♪ [ Cellphone rings ] Hi, Maxie. Yes, yes. I’m here. I’m so sorry you’re under the weather. But have no fear. I can do this. I will be the best possible cupid for your cousin Lucas. Oh, here he is. Hey! Lucas: Spinelli. Gracious greetings. Um, I know I’m not quite what you expected. I’m pinch hitting for Maxie tonight, but we — she has found you the perfect guy. Please tell me that Brad is not my date. What? Oh, God, no. Um, this is your date. Avery, Donna, you’re supposed to help me clean up. All right, Carly. Well, it’s the memories, not the mess. Right? Memories, not the mess. [ Knock on door ] ♪♪ Jack Brennan. What are you doing here? Happy Valentine’s Day. ♪♪ ♪♪ Hey. What are you doing here? Only took an hour in line at Eckert’s, but I got them. Feast your eyes on the last dozen of their famous Valentine’s Day cupcakes. Rocco’s favorite. Or they used to be. Hopefully they still are. Yeah. He loves anything from Eckert’s. Phew. Yeah, he’ll be pumped to dive into those in the morning. Morning? Where is he? The role of Lucky Spencer is temporarily being played by Guy Wilson. Hi. Thanks for meeting me. Your timing is perfect. I headed over as soon as I heard from you. You, uh, sounded excited. Sounded? I sent you a text. I think maybe it was the 10 exclamation points. Oh, okay. So tell me, how did it go with Anna? It went great. She listened to everything I had to say. She took the evidence we dug out of Cyrus’s trash. And she’s going to run with it? She’s going to arrest him. Finally, we’re going to get justice for those patients he killed. So what do you think? Should we celebrate? Seems like somebody’s already ahead of us. Oh, wow. Happy Valentine’s Day, Mom. And Dad. ♪♪ Maybe we should go to the hospital. No hospital. But if your migraine is really that bad — I’ll live. Mac, you haven’t had a migraine this bad in a while. Not since Robin was dating Jason. [ Groans ] ♪♪ So legally, I have to release you now. Soon. But in the time I have left, I’m going to do everything in my power to convince you not to kill Cyrus the minute you walk out those doors. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ You know what? I’m gonna go say hi. Oh, babe, babe, babe. They are on a date. So what? So, what’s the last thing you wanted when you were on a date when you were Trina’s age? Well, for my parents to crash it. That part. Okay. I’m just so happy for her. This is the first time she’s seeing anybody since Spencer. It’s a big deal. Yeah, it’s a very big deal, babe. But it’s one that we’re going to have to watch from afar. Right. So, what do you think? Of the club? I mean, it’s a cool vibe. I love it. Right? No, a few of my teammates recommended it. They said it’s the hottest club in town. Oh. So did you, like, have to pull some strings to get in? Well, maybe a couple. Must be good to know people. Yeah, it can come in handy if you know the right people. Yeah. Uh, Gunther, um, Erikson. Yes? Right. Okay. Uh, this is Lucas Jones. He is a trauma surgeon. Wow. Very impressive. Oh, yeah. Well, it’s just a job. Stop, Lucas, you saved lives. He saves lives. And, um, Maxie told me that — that you are — Well, you’re a model. Print, mainly. Uh, some runway. I’m actually walking in Milan Fashion Week later this month. Did you hear that? Milan. Amazing. Yeah, yeah, I heard that. Um, wait, why don’t you, uh, grab a table and I will fetch you some drinks? Oh, okay. I think that’s our cue. All right. I’m actually pretty good at this. Is this a bad time? No, no. Oh, come in, come in. I wasn’t expecting anyone, clearly. Well, it smells fantastic in here. Yeah, yeah. Donna, Avery, and I were baking cookies. They’re hiding upstairs because they don’t want to help me clean up. Oh. Smart girls. Uh, these are for you, incidentally. They’re beautiful. Thank you. You’re welcome. I’m gonna put them in water. ♪♪ ♪♪ Oh! [ Laughs ] Rocco’s at the Valentine’s Day skate with the school. They rent an ice rink. It’s pretty good. I — I didn’t know. And he won’t — he won’t be home later tonight? No, he’s gonna crash at a buddy’s place, but he’ll get them in the morning. You know, never mind. This — This was dumb. Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait. He probably doesn’t even like cupcakes anymore. He was he was just a kid when these were his favorite. Lulu, slow down. “A,” he loves cupcakes. He eats five at a time. It’s kind of disturbing. But to be completely honest with you… Is this the “B”? I got him these Valentine cupcakes from Eckert’s a few years ago, and he barely touched them. See? It’s the pink frosting, right? Or it’s the sprinkles. You know, I knew it. He’s probably outgrown this kind of thing. No, he didn’t want the cupcakes because, uh, they reminded him of you. Happy Valentine’s Day to you both. Dad, this is Tobias. Hello, Tobias. Nice to meet you. You too, Mr. Spencer. Call me Lucky. Okay. Aiden, did you make this? Oh, I always make Mom a Valentine’s Day cake. Tobias helped. I washed the baking tools after Aiden was done with them. Oh, that is a huge help. Thank you. Aiden, this cake looks amazing. Do you guys want to have some with us? Well, we were actually headed to the Valentine’s Day skate. Oh, right. I forgot about that. But can I talk to you for a second about tonight? Yeah, of course. Tobias, please have a seat. Did you want to stay out later tonight? No, it’s not that. We don’t have to go, Mom. If it would make you more comfortable, Tobias and I can stay. Oh, I was so happy to see Sasha. And, of course, I didn’t buy the rumor that Jason’s her baby’s father. But… But then she plants one on him right in the middle of my interrogation room. Ow. Mac, honey, you have to try to relax. I’m trying. Well, try a little harder. And about the kiss, I’m sure that is the last thing you wanted to see. Well, it’s up there. Poor Sasha. Why poor Sasha? Isn’t it obvious? She was heartbroken over Cody, and Jason took advantage. It’s the only explanation. Mac. What? Come on. If there is one thing that we have learned over the years, from personal experience to everyone else’s, the heart wants what the heart wants. And Sasha’s may very well want Jason. Mm. I want a BOLO issued on Cyrus Renault. I want eyes on him as soon as this warrant comes through. Yeah? Thanks. I got an emergency warrant for Cyrus’s arrest. Yeah, I heard. If all goes according to plan, then a judge will sign off on it tonight. It’s good to have a plan. ♪♪ Jason. You understand that this is happening, right? I have enough evidence to connect Cyrus to multiple murders. Including Sam’s? We can get justice for her. But only if you let me do my job. Look, I’m not an idiot. I know that you can do precisely what you said you would. You — You can murder Cyrus and make his body disappear as soon as you walk out this door. But I’m asking you not to. Not for your sake, but for mine. Stay back! I got it. Can you turn it off? [ Laughs ] Oh, my God. What the hell was that? Uh, that was an experience. Is it possible for us to have a normal, incident-free time? Uh, well, I think Christmas Eve was relatively incident-free, huh? Yeah, I guess. Here, take this, maybe. I don’t know. It’s fine. I’m so sorry. Wow. Okay, this place was a mess before. Now it’s a wet mess. It’s ridiculous. Water dries. Yeah. Okay, so what do you think the odds are I can get a plumber to come out here this time of night? Uh, tonight? Slim to none. That’s what I thought. But luckily for you, your knight in shining, sopping-wet armor has arrived. You? Well, don’t look so surprised. If I can disarm an explosive device, I’m pretty sure I can fix your plumbing. Yes, Maxie, it’s — It’s going very well, if I do say so myself. Chemistry is palpable. Okay. Um, I have a confession to make. Uh-oh. Okay. Let me guess. You — You were humoring me, and you hate it here. Actually, just the opposite. Um, I love it here, but, um, I’ve been here before. Oh, okay. Well, that shouldn’t surprise me. Look, you have great taste. You’ve probably been to all the best places. Actually, I know the owner. You know the owner of the Savoy? Tell me more. Hi, Dad. First of all, thank you for being so protective of me. I appreciate and love you for that. But I kind of like spending time with your dad. And aren’t you excited about going skating? Yeah. Yeah, okay, well, then go skate. You and Tobias enjoy yourselves. You sure? I’m positive. You guys have fun. Your dad and I will just be here stuffing ourselves with your incredible cake. I’ve been doing this all wrong. It’s been four years, and I just — I keep telling myself it’s okay. Look forward, not back. Just don’t focus on the time you’ve lost. Well, good luck with that. And I was gone and time just went on. And I’ve been desperately trying to play catch-up. And I don’t know our son, Dante. Yeah, you do. Yeah, you do. And the more you’re here, the better you get to know him. I don’t know the person he is now. The — The young man he’s become. You were here to see all of it, and I just — all I’ve got is questions. Okay. Ask them. Come on, take a seat. Ask away. Okay. Has Rocco had a first crush? Ruby Stone. Ruby Stone? Yeah, I know. Did you meet the parents who did that to her? I didn’t. Uh, you know, that one was a brief one. Uh, is Rocco hard to wake up in the morning? Yeah, he’s got like 18 alarms, and he sleeps through all of them. How’s he doing in school? Great, actually. Really good. Friends? Tons. He’s — He’s a real leader. He’s a lot of fun. See, you know all that, and I don’t. But you will, right? You just got to catch up. And you will. You will catch up. You were right, Dante. I do really like that. No, everything you said about what I was doing, you were right. I was just so focused on Charlotte and bringing her home. Yeah, because your daughter wasn’t here and she should have been, so you had to look for her. But then I neglected the child I had right here. [ Sighs ] I am failing as a mother. No, you’re not. So don’t do that. And don’t say that because it’s not true. Okay, you guys, have fun. Bye. Bye. Tobias seems like a good kid. Yeah, they are. And that Aiden kid, he’s pretty special, too. Well, yeah. Why do I get the feeling that talk was not about tonight? Because it wasn’t. Our very considerate son offered to stay home and be our chaperone. So you’re asking me not to kill Cyrus for you? I’m asking you to put aside your anger. And our relationship, right, it’s changed. We’re friends. I mean — I mean, you can’t — You can’t really deny that. Like, we’ve worked together, we’ve traveled together. We’ve had each other’s backs. So that we have a friendship, you know, it’s clear. Not just to me, but to everyone. And that’s a problem? Yeah, it is, if you do what you say you’re going to do to Cyrus. If he disappears and we can’t trace it back to you, then it’s going to perpetuate this idea that there are people above the law based on their relationship to me or their friendship with me. I cannot have that, because then I’m just going to lose the faith of all my officers, this entire city. I mean, do you understand that? I understand what you’re saying, but none of it matters when you’re talking about the sick bastard who murdered Sam. The Savoy is far and away the best club in Port Charles. Thank you. Are you guys having a good time? Yeah, we are. Well, then, we will leave you to it. But don’t forget to stick around for the surprise musical act. Oh, I haven’t been able to get it out of him either. In fact, I’d better go, just to be safe, make sure that they’re still on schedule. I wouldn’t want all this hype to be for nothing. I’ll get drinks. Enjoy your night. Okay, well, you heard the man. I guess we should stick around. Guess so. I’m asking you to trust me when I say that my department can bring Cyrus in based on the evidence that we’ve collected. And we can get justice for Sam. I’ve taken some big chances on you. I’ve never asked you to. It doesn’t matter. They’ve all paid off. I’m asking you to take a chance on me. To just have a little faith in me. I’m telling you, you won’t regret it. You know, we have had our ups and downs over the years. That’s a neat and tidy way of putting it. But it’s true. We’ve stopped and we’ve started, and we’ve stopped and we’ve started. There was even a time when you cut your losses and moved on. Tried to move on, but I was destined to fail. All I had to do was look in those beautiful blue eyes and I was falling in love with you all over again. Well, it took me a little while to get there, but then I finally realized it was you all along. My happily ever after. Ow! Oh! Are you all right? No. No, not if you’re saying that Jason is Sasha’s happily ever after. I’m not. Ohh. That is not for me to decide. Or you. Sasha’s the one who gets to decide that. All you get to do is show your love and support, like you have all of our girls. And I know you will. Of course I will. Sasha’s family. Yes. And on that, she will figure out that you are the world’s greatest uncle and you’re there to support her. Well, her aunt’s not too shabby either. Sasha’s going to be okay. I’ll make sure of it. We’ll make sure of it. The way only Scorpios can. Is Aiden worried that you and I are getting too close? Oh, I wouldn’t say he’s worried, but he does know that we’ve been spending a lot of time together. And he’s questioning my intentions. He is looking after me. All my boys do, but he’s the only one living here at the moment, so he just wants to make sure I’m being treated well. By me. By anyone. But tonight, specifically me. It’s fair. It’s not like I’ve been around, been someone that you and Aiden can — can count on. It makes sense that he’s scared you’d get hurt on my watch. I’m just grateful that he’s protective of me. So am I. But I will make it very clear to our son that he doesn’t have to protect me from you. I don’t need it. You are a good mom, Lulu. Missing four years doesn’t change any of that. Good mom, huh? Yeah. Even when I was flying off to Europe without telling anyone and dodging bullets in the street? Well, you were fearing for your daughter’s life. I think any parent can relate to that. Even you? Mm-hmm. Especially me. Didn’t feel that way when you were reading me the riot act. Yeah, I know. And that wasn’t cool of me to do that. I was kidding, Dante. I know, but still, I shouldn’t have made it seem like you were choosing between Charlotte and Rocco. Thank you. And I’m sorry for being so stubborn. Oh, since when? Have I been stubborn? Since when have you apologized for it? Not often. Fine. Not often enough. And I am really sorry that I’m not giving Rocco what he needs. Why do you say that? Because I don’t know what he needs. Our boy is a teenager, Lulu. I mean, his needs change every 15 minutes. But what he — what he really needs is his mom. He needs a better one. I think he’s got a great one. And she’s not a mind reader. And she can’t always predict where his next move is going to take him. But neither can his father, for that matter. His mom is here, and she loves him. He needs more from me than that. Why can’t you see what you being here and loving him has done for him? I mean, our son was walking around here in pain and sadness for the longest time, and now that is gone. You’ve — You’ve made it disappear. Rocco has a light in his eye I haven’t seen since he was a kid. And that’s because of you, too. Flying solo on Valentine’s Day? Looks like it. Well, careful not to overdo it. No one likes a sloppy drunk. Full disclosure? Please. Um, I haven’t been on a date in a long time, and the only reason I came on this one is because Maxie was on my case about it. I don’t know Maxie that well yet, but I know she can be determined. Relentless. That’ll work too. But I understand. You’re not ready. I’m sorry. Don’t be. Just get my number from Maxie and call me when you are. ♪♪ What is wrong with me? What is wrong with that guy? Oh! Hey. Happy Valentine’s Day. Hey. Where’s Maxie? Okay, I think I took care of the problem. Go ahead. Try the water. I don’t think that’s a very good idea. Do I detect doubt? You do. Well, go ahead, give it a whirl. Look, at the very worst, you could say “I told you so.” And at the very best, you could say… Thank you. You’re welcome. How did you do that? My father was a plumber. Really? Wow. I envisioned you descending from a long line of super spies. My dad always said, even if the world ends, you’re always going to need a plumber. Oh, I agree. I mean, if there is an apocalypse, you’re going to want to shower eventually. Yeah, so he taught me a few tricks over the years. He sure did. Does anyone else know that, um, your dad was a plumber? I don’t know. Well, I suppose the WSB must have it somewhere in a file deep in the archives. I like knowing something about you that nobody else does. They say knowledge is power. They do, don’t they? ♪♪ God, you’ve seen me at my worst. I mean, I have compromised myself way more than I ever thought I would be capable of at this point in my life anyway. Yeah, I don’t discount any of that. And I’ve put my life in your hands. And I don’t do that with many people. I know. I mean, that’s my point. Like, this trust we have, it’s unexpected, but it’s very real. And it’s also, unfortunately, very obvious. So if you kill Cyrus and you get away with it — You would have nothing to do with it. No one would believe that. They would think that I had looked the other way, or worse, that I had helped you cover this crime up. And I can’t lead if I don’t have the respect of my officers. Okay, so what are you asking me to do? Just to trust me to bring Cyrus in. And I will get justice for Sam. [ Cellphone rings ] Yeah. It’s Commissioner Devane. What’s happening with the warrant? Why am I torturing myself? Excuse me? Nothing. ♪♪ On your way out? I suddenly do not know. I was wondering if you wanted some company. Oh, I’m so sorry that Maxie’s not feeling well. Believe me, so am I. Because I am now playing matchmaker in her place. And Gunther, the model, just ditched Lucas. So I know Maxie will be furious, and I fear I’ve let down Lucas. Oh, well, I’m sure he appreciated the effort, though. Where did he disappear to? Thank you. No! Can we just shut this holiday down now? Chase: No, we just got here. Yeah. Save some of the Valentine’s Day fun for us. Speaking of which, where’s the surprise that you’ve been hinting at? You’ll see. When? It requires some patience. Patience is not one of your best qualities. I have other great qualities. Yes, you do. But I’m going to go check on your surprise anyway. Okay? Okay. Hurry back. I will. This is an amazing turnout, babe. Yeah, it’s a good night. You know, do you ever think about leaving Aurora and coming back to this place? I mean, I love the Savoy, but, uh, Aurora just presents a challenge. Every day I’m there, I feel like I’m growing. Yeah, I can see that. [ Speaks indistinctly ] Sorry to interrupt, but I think it’s time. Okay. It looks like, uh, our guest performer is ready. Excuse me. Yes. Of course. All right. Good evening, everyone. I’m Curtis Ashford, and welcome to the Savoy. And might I add, Happy Valentine’s Day. So tonight we have a very special guest performance. He is one of our favorites. Where’s Chase? He’s gonna miss this. And he’s no stranger to this stage. So I’m going to need you to put your hands together and help me welcome our special guest performer, Mr. Harrison Chase. [ Cheers and applause ] I see you’re still pretty decent at a pep talk. Well, I guess I have my moments. Make sure Rocco gets those? And no sticky Quartermaine fingers trying to steal any. Oh, yeah. I will guard those with my life. Hey, uh, he’s gonna love those. He’ll always be my Valentine. Just make sure he doesn’t eat them all at once. Tell him to pace himself. I will, I definitely will. But you know what? There’s an awful lot of these. Like, I should probably take one or two off his hands, you know? You heard what I said about the Quartermaines. Yeah. Good thing my last name is not Quartermaine. Dante, don’t you dare. These look really good. This one, I think, actually has my name on it. Oh, no. You asked for it. This is not what you expected tonight, huh? Exploding pipes and helping me do dishes. Well, when it comes to you, I’ve learned to expect the unexpected. [ Laughs ] Okay. You’re going to have to send me your dry cleaning bill. Oh, there’s no need. Didn’t I tell you my mother was a dry cleaner? [ Laughs ] Are you sure you don’t want another slice? Speak now or forever hold your peace. Aiden baked that cake for you. Far be it from me to go against his wishes. Smart man. What? Do I have something on my face? You’re just as beautiful as the day I met you. Lucky. [ Chuckles ] It’s true. You haven’t changed at all. Look closer. I am. And you’ve never looked more beautiful. ♪♪ What the hell are you talking about? That’s ridiculous. There isn’t anyone else that can sign off? There’s not another judge? Fine, fine. First thing tomorrow. Yeah. Do you understand? First thing. So no warrant. The judge won’t sign off until the morning. Anna. No, don’t. Please. I just want to say what — Whatever happens to Cyrus, your office is going to respect you for the same reasons I do. Your strength, your courage, your willingness to put yourself on the line. I understand completely why you would want to kill Cyrus. I get it. I know you do. And I’m not sure there’s anybody else in my life that — that understands that like you do. Don’t let Carly hear you say that. No, Carly accepts me, and I know she loves me. But you do understand me. I think it’s because we’re alike. We are. The warrant’s coming. But, um, I — I can’t hold you any longer. My time’s up. ♪♪ Hey. I’m asking you as my friend. Please don’t kill Cyrus. And you’re a good friend. And I appreciate your friendship more than you know. That wasn’t an answer. ♪♪ Wow. It has been a while since I performed, but it’s good to be back on stage. My singing career, in a word, would be brief, but I met my beautiful wife doing it. And for that, I am forever grateful. So, Brook Lynn, this is for you. I love you.
