THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What secrets do you hold? Golden. There’s only one way to find out through that. Through that.

What the hell?

What were you and Joey talking about? He asked You were coming out with me, didn’t he? What? No. Okay. Yes, that’s exactly what he did. But don’t be mad at your brother. He just sees how much you’re hurting over what happened with your mom. And he didn’t want you to be alone. Yeah. Yeah. Except that’s not why he called you.

What do you mean? I mean that he wants us to spend some time together cuz he wants us to be a couple.

Did you want the strawberry shortcake ode or the Flowerless chocolate cake? Sounds lovely. Which one? Whatever you want. I want both. Obviously

I will call room service. You decide which cast of housewives you wanna watch. I was feeling Beverly Hills, but if you’re more in a New York state of mind, whatever. Stop it. Quinny. What am I doing? You’re doing nothing. That’s the point. We are supposed to be having a fun night of sugar, gossip, trashy tv, and you are lying there like a sad sack waiting for your Scottish beef cake to call.

I am not. Why hasn’t he phoned me yet?

Excuse me, Jack Wave.

Is this it? I don’t understand the question. Brent told me about the ultimatum you gave him. Sell me out or lose you forever. So, so should I assume that you and I were not me?

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Were we ever really mates, Sandra, I’d like to think we were. I. Friendship goes both ways. It’s not just one person cleaning up another one’s messes. Now I screwed up. You didn’t screw up. You didn’t screw up. You kidnapped Susan and Bonnie. You’re just showing your true colors. I was desperate. I was trying to save my marriage.

And when they even made the don’t, don’t, don’t say that. Don’t gimme another excuse. You not only abducted those two women, you used my daughter to cover up your crimes, never intended to pull greed into that, but you did. You knew that Gwen’s still in love with you, and you took advantage of her feelings.

She was trying to better herself, trying to turn her life around, and you just dragged her down into your muck. I am truly sorry. I bet you are. But what you did was unforgivable. I’ve done bad things before. Jack, worse than this, but now you know.

The man I called my friend and learned and realized the difference between right and wrong. I watched you grow a conscience, and yet when it gets desperate, you’re aver to the same. Selfish losing, he’d always been. Turn you back on me. You want Jack? Please? Give quiet another chance.

Get outta bed. What the hell? I’ll command you to get out of bed. You command me Uhhuh. Go out at a girl now gimme your phone. No. What if he texts me? I don’t care. Just be careful of that. My God. You be careful. You are the one who is slipping into dangerous territory. My friend. What are you talking about? I am talking about you doing the big nasty.

With the big nasty. Now that you’ve slept with him, you have all these expectations. It’s a good way to get. We don’t even know what Zander’s thinking. He’s not thinking. He never does. Leaving you to stew in your own juices. Believe me, I’ve been there when we’re not talking about me. Look, I know that you’re playing the long game here.

Is that supposed to be some quip about, about Zander’s manhood? No, I was being sincere. Although when we were living in the same house, I did get a peek or two,

Matt. Oh, right. Uh, that’s neither here nor there. My point is for tonight, just let it go. Be in the moment and have some fun with your old girlfriend, Leo. Yeah, you’re right. Why am I mooning over Zander when obviously his sun rises in sets with s h.

Re Hi. Hi. I’m so sorry about your mom. Thank you. It all through be Kayla and Marlena too. I wish we could have done more. So do I. So why are you here? I’m here to deliver this to. You wrote Victor a letter? No, not me, my brother. You brother. You don’t mean it’s a letter from Philip

Tequila. Oh, this is funny to. I walk in here and I find your mouth on this boy, and you think it’s funny. Okay. My mouth was on the lemon, which just happened to be in Alex’s mouth. Right, right. I know how it looked like. I’m talking to my girlfriend. Okay. I understand it’s not, but it’s not like we were, we’re we were kissing.

Right? Like that. Hey Alex, maybe just keep quiet for a minute. I’m just trying to help you. Wanna help. Then maybe you should check yourself and you should start by checking to make sure you have your underwear. Um, Allie told me how you found my boxes in your apartment, but I’m telling you E no, I swear to you it is innocent.

Yeah, but there’s nothing innocent about what I just walked in on. Okay. You’re making way too big. Who am I? Am I then why does it seem like every time I turn around I find you two together? Oh. Oh. Like how every time I turn around I find you with Johnny.

So this is Joey playing matchmaker. Yep. Why is he trying to push us together? Uh, he’s seeing someone now and so I guess he figured at least one of us should win win. Like I’m some video games. Yeah. I’m sorry. Came out wrong. Um, what I meant to say was that, uh, I like you Mindy, for real, but I know that you’re dating giant Damara and I’m not looking to take someone else’s girl.

So,

Alex, why don’t, uh, why don’t you and I give these two little time alone, huh? No, no, it’s fine. I’m fine if everybody hears this because Chanel is the one who lied to me. How did I lie? You said that you were spending time at your mother’s, and yet here you are with my very own twin brother. Okay. All right.

We came to get a drink. All right. Seems like you and Alex are way ahead of us on that front. How, how many have you had, by the way? Uh, I mean,

They’re gonna, they’re gonna, they’re gonna run outta grass. Yeah. I, I’m glad this is amusing to you. It looks like I got my answer. Oh my God. Whatever you the drinking police, because if you are, you’re gonna have to arrest yourself. What does that, what does that even mean? It means why aren’t you here with Wendy instead of my girlfriend?

Phillip is in a mental hospital. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. He faked his own death and then tried to frame Brady for his murder. I clearly he needed help. Uh, did Brady and Chloe know he’s alive? No. No. I haven’t had a chance to tell him yet, but I will until then. Can you do me a favor? Can you just keep. Quiet. I know it’s not cool to ask you to keep secrets from your husband, but like you mean from, from Xander?

Yeah. Obviously. You mean Xander? Um, yeah. You don’t have to worry. Xander isn’t my husband anymore.

Look at me. No worry. That loser talking here. Did you just call me a lose? No, you’re not a loser. Quite the opposite. Gwe, you won, did I? Yes. Xander is no longer married to Sarah and with whom did he sleep last night? Me. What was that? I can’t hear you. Me. He slept with me. Yes, he did. And he’s a better man for it.

Then. Why hasn’t he fun me yet? I don’t know. Maybe he’s busy. Busy. I mean, what’s he doing? It’s not like he’s got a job. Still man, with a body like that, he’s gotta work out what, six, seven hours a day. Maybe they’ll call you in between his next set of squad AKs, maybe. But like you said, I, I fought for him.

You know, is it wrong that I want him to fight for me too?

I’m aware of that. You can’t just cut her out of your life. I can’t debate this. Last cuz you know you don’t have any ground to stand on. Gwen’s hurting Jack. Don’t punish her for something I did. You, you mean the world to her. She’s moving on and so am I just like that. What? Because she, she disappointed you Because I can’t have this in my life anymore.

Gwen is a threat to me and my family. That’s the kind of man you want to be, the kind that disowns his daughter because she didn’t live up to his standards. You couldn’t understand why. I think I understand quite. . That’s how Victor treated me. Everything was conditional. Tow the line or you’re out. Oh, IRA was just a little responsibility.

Oh, that’s a bunch of crap. And you know it. This was never just about Gwen. The truth is Gwen was not and was never going to be. Abigail, please. This olden girl do not bring Abigail into this. She’s always been in this, hasn’t she? I mean, Gwen’s always lived in her shadow. Sure. She tried to better herself to fix the things that were broken in her childhood.

She tried to change herself to make you happy, to make you proud. Did she? Yes. She twisted herself into for you because she needed your love jack. But instead, what did she. Your judgment. You tried to make a turn on me and when she didn’t, you turned on her. She made her choice and I made mine the hell with that.

Gwen got tired of trying to prove herself to you, Matt. She couldn’t have a father that loves her unconditionally. Why have a father at all? You talk a lot about the kind of man I am. What kind of man are you? I think I’m fine with us not being mace anymore. I don’t want to be friends with someone like you.

Johnny and I have started dating, or at least we’re trying to, meaning what? Nothing. I thought you could said we’d be honest with each. Meaning we were supposed to go to the movies tonight. We Joey called. So you skipped on your date for me. There’ll be other dates. Having a nice time with you. No. No. Uhuh.

No. I’m not being someone else’s. Pity date. Pity date. Yeah. Is that a thing? No. Call him What? Call Johnny right now. He remember this whole time to catch the.

Wow. Forgot how fun it is. Arguing with you when you’re drunk. Why are you trying to change the subject? What are you afraid of? The truth. The truth. The truth is you’re making a big deal outta me. Being here with Chanel when really it’s nothing. Oh, it’s nothing. Yes. Look, I was supposed to go out with Wendy tonight.

She had to go help a friend. Oh, same thing with me and Allie. Two friends being there for each other. Oh, hold on, hold on. So Wendy cancels on you and, and what? You just call up Chanel as you’re Fillin date. It’s not a date. No, no, it is. And I, I can see you guys are getting two drinks and you’re reminiscing about when you were married and you’re like, oh, remember our really romantic Italian.

So stop. Stop. At Horton. This isn’t about me and Johnny. It always, always about you and Johnny. No, you’re just using this as an excuse so that you can be with Alex. I don’t need an excuse. We have fun together. Is there a problem with that valley? Why don’t you just come home with me and then you can sober up and we can talk about this later.

We can set things straight. straight. That’s an interesting choice of words. Important. Maybe I don’t want a sober duck. I’m having too much fun. I can see that. No, you don’t get to judge me. You walked out and honestly, you’re really killing my buzz right now. I’m so sorry about that. Yeah, so unless you two buzz killers, wanna join us for a shot?

Hard pass. Come on. Can we get a drink somewhere else? Sure.

You warned me about Xander, in fairness. Of course everyone did. No, I’m actually sorry that he hurt you like that. Look, I never thought he was wordy of a woman of your caliber, although I’m not really one to judge now, am I ? No. ? I suppose not. I was a really terrible partner to you. On the other hand, you never kidnapped anyone as long as far as I know.

No . No. It’s just the cheating. Ah, yes. It’s just. But I did forgive you. You did. It meant the world to me, even though I didn’t deserve it. Holding grudges can just ruin your life. So does that mean. There’s a chance you might forgive Xander as well.

Oh good. Yeah, just carry on texting somebody else. Not like I’m having an existential crisis over here. Didn’t you just tell me that Xander stood up for you when he ran into Sarah? He did. Once she found out you guys had slept together and she was really letting you have it. It’s a critical bitch. I’ll tell you.

He really shut her down though. See? Yeah, but Matty, who we kidding? I mean, that’s all fleeting. What is Zander choosing me in the moment? It’s all part of the dance. He’s willing to take me into bed, but he’ll never fully be willing to take me in his heart. First of all, that is very poetic. But you don’t know that.

Oh, I do know that. His heart still belongs with Sarah Horton. You don’t know unless you tried. Yes, I have tried for years and look where it’s landed me. It’s better to have loved and lost something. Something Shakespeare said that actually Tenson said that, but I appreciate your reference. Really? Huh? And I was a theater queen in high school.

I guess I was too distracted trying to turn all the boys who didn’t know they were gay. Come here, it’s gonna be okay.

Who suck? I don’t know. Who could it be? Who could it be?

Is the question, can I forgive Xander, or is it, can I forgive him enough to be with him again? I guess both. I mean, , we signed divorce papers. Does that answer it? So it’s officially over. The papers are filed with the courts. So as far as I’m concerned, I’m no longer married. Shit, I’m surprised Zana gave up so easily.

Oh yes. Not only did he give up easily, he went straight back to sleeping with Gwen Resk.

Just had the misfortune of bumpy into your father while he was a stride’s high horse. Oh, he ran into Jack Told him what I thought of the ultimatum he gave you didn’t need to do that. Yes, I did. Man. There’s nothing, a loyalty the way sits in judgment of me, but more, I just can’t stand the way he treats you his own daughter.

Yeah. Well, less him down, haven’t I? Again and again. Screw that. I mean, you’ve done your best and well. He disowns you because you stood up for someone you care. He took away your, your job, your family, your home. You’ve lost everything. Well, maybe not everything. Just wish there was something I could do about it.

There is something you can do. Excuse me. Neither of you has to take this lying down, although if you did wanna lie down together, that is totally cool with. In fact, just thinking about it is getting me unbothered. Anyway, I know exactly how you can put Jack DeVere in his place.

Sorry you’re going through this. Me too. I really want things to be okay with me and Allie, but your sister is so stuff irrational, frustrating. Keep going. She gets it from her mom. I’ve heard stories about Sammy Barbie. I love her. I love her to death, but sometimes she’s just hard to have a relationship with.

You know who? Your mom or your sister? Well, neither of ’em ever wants to admit when they’re wrong, but what Ali’s doing right now, pushing you away? It’s the biggest mistake she’s ever made. Come on.

Why aren’t you chasing after Chanel? I’m good. Are you sure? I promise you I’ll not be offended. Hey, like I said to her, I’ve got nothing enough to say.

Johnny loves movie. He’s probably already sitting in a theater with his giant popcorn. You think he went by himself? You said he was going to, he was super excited to see this worm movie. You only playing one night. Apparently. Text him. He probably already has this fun on airplane though. Stop making excuses and just text the guy.

Okay, can we, uh, not talk about my sister anymore? Gladly. Let’s get that drink.

Hey. Hi. How’s it going guys? I didn’t know this was where you were going to the. Yeah, well, I, I changed my plans after you bow out, so I can see that. Would you mind if we talked for a minute? Sure. Of course.

Hey, uh, everything okay? You tell me. I don’t understand. We were supposed to be on a date and you said you couldn’t. What is it? The minute I get pulled away to help a friend? You call Chanel as a backup. You too. Me? Me too. What? That’s just your, uh, thought. You’re not the first person to accuse me of this tonight.

Let me guess your sister. Yeah. Yeah. We ran into her and Alex at another. We’re both pretty drunk and pretty cozy. Look, I’m just trying to be a good friend. Is Chanel the same way you are for Tripp, but is it really the same? What’s that mean? Trip and I weren’t married. Okay. Fair. All right. I I Okay that.

Yeah. It probably looks sketchy. Okay. But I, I, look, I just, I saw Chanel, I invited her to the movie only. She doesn’t like thrillers. We decided to get a drink instead. And, and Wendy, I wanted to go with you, but clearly Trip needed you more. No, I’m actually okay. I mean, if you guys want to rest the movie, Chanel and I can hang out.

See, fuck. Everything’s working out. Actually, I don’t think it is. What do you mean? I mean, yeah, we, we might miss the trailers, but that’s fine. I’m not talking about the movie. I’m talking about us seeing each other. What do you mean? Do I have to say it? There’s still something going on between you and your ex.

Okay. I told you. We are just friends. This is not the way it looks to me. It looks complicated and messy and full of drama. I don’t need, Wendy, you and I both agreed we, we have an opportunity here to build something really special. Can’t say. I’m feeling that right now.

I like you, Johnny. I don’t think we have a chance to build anything as long as whatever’s between you and Chanel is lingering. That’s it. You just wanna break it off. I don’t wanna hurt you. But even more than that, I don’t wanna get hurt. So I’ll see you around, okay.

What the hell are you doing here with me? Tequila shooter. Do you know what I mean? Why aren’t you chasing after Chanel? Why aren’t you chasing after Stephanie? Because she doesn’t want to be with me because I screwed up royally. But you and Chanel have so much love for each other. Elliot, I think you’re gonna have to swallow your pride on this one.

Why would I swallow my pride? Because she already made the offer some offer. The only thing I feel like squalling more of is these tequila shots. So you gonna leave me hanging or what?

Okay. Okay. So how do we get back at somebody like Jack Deveau when he is acting all holier than them? No guesses anyone. Okay. Just tell us. You throw his own sins back in his face. More sins. Oh, correct me if I’m wrong, Gwenny, but it wasn’t too long ago that Jack’s beloved wife Jennifer ran you down with her car and left you in the street to die.

We dunno that for sure. Do we actually, we do. You got confirmation that Jennifer was driving the car? I did. After which you took the high road, protected her for your father’s sake. Well, I’m here to say it is not too late to reverse course and make that sanctimonious bastard pay.

I am so sorry for jumping all this on you. What? No, no, no, no. Don’t be. Yeah. I’m sitting here talking about Xander and you’ve lost your mother. I won’t say anything about Philip. You have my word. Thank you. Really. Look, we’ve, we’ve been through a lot, but I’d like to think that we’re still friends. We are must have really hurt to see Xander with that woman, given all that she did to hurt.

Yeah. Honestly, I haven’t had time to process it, you know? Um, I ran into him and Gwen and they made it very clear that they were sleeping together and then I had to go back to work. So Nice. You have always been like that. I mean, no matter what was going on in your life, and you could just always be there for your patie.

It helps having a distraction. No, no, no. It does. It does. But I don’t need to tell you that, that keeping that anger and that that pain inside, it’s not good for you. It’s not healthy. You gotta let it out. You know what I mean? And

I think I have a pretty damn good idea to help you do that.

I’m sorry if I messed things up with you and Johnny. Uh, but honestly it’s Joey’s fault for trying to play matchmaker. Oh, this is nothing to do with Joey or you, Bonnie and I are just wrong place, wrong time. He seems a little fused. Yeah, that’s a good word for it. I’m sorry. Don’t feed. It is what it is. It is what it is.

Well, anyway, you showed up here because you thought I was hurting and now I get to be here for you.

So, but I totally screw up what you have going on with Wendy. Ah, nah. Just, uh, one big misunderstanding. I’ll fix it tomorrow somehow. Thank you, . No way. What. Uh, it’s nothing. It’s just this is the, uh, this is the same bottle of wine that we drank that night on the beach in Italy, on the Amul coast. Did you, uh, did you tell your mom about it?

I don’t think so. Oh, oh, no. What. . We’re doing exactly what my sister accused us of doing right now. You know, reminiscing about our romantic times in Italy. Well, I don’t care because when I drink this wine, I can just feel the breeze and Pieter. Raine. Yeah. Okay. Okay, now you’re laying in on a bit thick. Do you remember when we went to go see the sunrise or we fell asleep at four in the morning?

And woke up with our faces in the sand and those guys, they were taking out the fishing boats and singing in Italian. Yeah, it was much better than my sorry attempt at karaoke. You did your thing and I appreciate it. She wanted to make you smile. You always make me smile.

Oh, okay. Alright. All right. All right. Yeah, all we got this

home. Sweet home, sweet home. Sweet home. Sweet home. Oh, and by the way, My honey Penny is staying with his babysitter at her place because she has the five year old who loves him, and she asked me if he could sleep over. Isn’t she swell? Are you sure you’re okay? Do I look like I’m in pain right now? No. No, you don’t.

But. My gut tells me that tomorrow morning’s gonna be a much different story. Oh, well you only live once. That’s what I say. Mm. Okay. Come on.

Thank you for tonight. You’re buying drinks next time. No, I mean, thank you for being so. Oh, nice. Yeah, that’s me. All right. You think it’s cool if I crash on the couch in the office again? I promise you I will keep my underwear on my body this time. Yeah, you could crash in the office. Thank you. Are you kidding?

Crash crashing my bed.

Underwear optional.

Nice. All right. Again. All right. Now tell me how you’re feeling. I’m feeling pissed off. Okay, good, good. I can’t believe Andrew slept with a bitch. He promise he would never break the law again, and I was stupid enough to believe it. Okay. Are you feeling feel better? No, not really. Okay. I hate you. I hate you.

Zander. I hate you for making me book. Okay. Okay. Okay, okay, okay. Okay. It’s just this is a little bit more intense than I expected you. Okay. I mean, did it, did it work?

My key still works. Guessing you want it back. I do. Isn’t that all? There’s another reason I’m here. It’s about the spectator, Gwen. If you’re here to ask for your job back, you’re not here about her job,

we’re here to,

who was that?

Why shouldn’t I? You still want me right now? Of course I do. But you’re upset. Yeah. And you help me get out some of that anger. No. I need to get out the rest, but that’s not gonna happen from getting a pillow. Sarah, you said that you never got over me. Another chance.

You wanna stand around talking or do you wanna take me up to my room?

It’s been a long day and I think I’ve made it clear. I have nothing more to say to either of you. Oh, you don’t have to say anything. You can just listen. You are gonna sign over Ownership of the spectator to. And your daughter, and why the hell would I do that? Because if you don’t Daddy dearest. I’m going to send Jennifer to prison for running me over.

Dear readers, due to these spectators imminent change in owner. Your old friend, lady Whistleblower will finally be able to bring you the news you really care about. Check back in on this face soon to have your bassist appetites indulged. No gossip is too Deb botched. No one in Salem will be spared. So be ready for your daily dish of betrayal and of course to find out the latest on who.

Is sleeping. With whom?

Ah, I think I should probably go. I’m the one leaning in this time, Johnny. It’s okay. You shouldn’t, I know. We should look, uh, as. As I am with my sister right now, I, I don’t wanna do this to her. I don’t think you do either.

I, I think you’re right. I have to be loyal to Allie even if she doesn’t.

It wouldn’t be the first time he stayed in my bed and this time there’d be more room. I don’t think that’s a very good idea. Ellie. Come on. Come on. Stephanie is sleeping with Chad and Chanel is probably sleeping with my brother right now. And a few weeks ago he said that I was hot. One of the hottest women you’ve ever been with.

So are you lying?

Not even a little bit, prove.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, you’re definitely in good hands. Hey, you too. And keep me updated. Okay, thanks. Thought I saw you through the window, . Hey. Yeah, no, I just was. Calling the Seattle Hospital Head Consult. Nice. Yeah, I was just on my way to dad’s, but I saw you and thought, why not have a beer with my bro first? Ah, well, great minds indeed.

Uh, you haven’t been here working all day, have you? No, no, no, no. I, I went to see my mom earlier and, uh, that does not have been pretty much hanging out with Wendy Shin.

This is a surprise. What’s going on? Well, I know it’s last minute, but the Revival Theater is playing a great movie tonight. Wanna come with me?

Thanks for coming. Yeah.

So, um, I got your text. Is everything okay? Yeah. Sorry, I didn’t, um, I didn’t mean to alarm you. Uh, and I promise you the next time I text you, it’ll be to set up a proper date. . So why did you ask me to come over? Oh, um, I just wanted to tell you in person that, uh, I ran into Alex and he knows that I spent the night with.

Missing something. Ah, thank you for bringing us by. Got your text about finding them. Yeah. You know who else found them? Chanel. And she threw a freaking fit.

Oh, and she’s here . Oh, well what is all this ? Oh, elaborate mirror romantic table set for two. Wow. Mr. Abraham Carver, you must be looking to get a lucky tonight. Oh, now you know, I use up all my luck the day you entered my life. Oh, whom? I love . Oh. But seriously, what have you been? Well, you know, you, uh, you told me that Chanel was going home to make up with Allie.

Mm-hmm. and. I said, well, I made an executive decision. Oh, well, just what did my handsome executive decide? That you should be wh and dine like the queen. You are . And since we have the place all to ourselves, . Oh yeah. Oh, okay. Oh, remember, your cooking smells amazing. I am famished.

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Oof. Oh, hey darling. I didn’t realize you were here. I was napping. Um, you know, I am hungry. But it looks like you were planning a dinner for just the two of yous. Well, I, it’s, it’s okay. We’re, we’re happy to have you join us. It’s just that your mom told me that you and you and Ali had gotten back together.

Yeah, I was hoping that would be the case. I did what you said. I went over there and I put aside how hurt I was, and I tried to tell her how sorry I was and, and what happened? Well, I realized she had a hell of a lot more to be sorry for than I did.

When Chanel saw those, she assumed the worst. The worst, huh? Really? Well, I’ll have you know that my Rotten tomato score is very high, and if I remember correctly, you and Chanel were among those who gave me rave reviews. Yeah. Well, it’s about a tank. If you keep making little jokes about my love life. Sorry.

Hey, I’m sorry. This is so stupid. And as much as I try and tell Chanel that nothing happened and that you spent the night in the office, I I, I might as well have been speaking another language. Wait, so all this over my missing underwear. Okay. You know what? I’ll fix this. I’ll fix it. I’m gonna call Chanel right now and I’m going to explain to her how I sleep in the nude, which happens to be true.

Yeah, I already tried that didn’t work.

Thanks for the heads up. But, um, it wasn’t necessary. I was actually gonna text you, but you beat me. . You saw Alex too? Yeah, uh, at Titan when I went to go see Sonny, he told me he knew about us. He wasn’t a jerk to you though, was he? No, it wasn’t like that. Chad, I don’t know if you noticed the flowers at my dad’s place this morning.

I did. They were from Alex, huh? Okay. He, he came by. Dropped them off last night along with an apology note that he wrote me. The door was open and he saw us together, so he just left it all behind. I wasn’t gonna read the note, I just threw it away. But then I was curious, so I fished it out of the trash and it was really genuine.

He, he knew how badly he messed up. He owned up to all of his mistakes. He said he never meant to hurt me, and so I told, That I appreciated him saying all of that. Well, good. I mean, it sounds like you were able to hopefully get some closure.

It was closure, right? Yeah, it was because I told him that he and I would not be getting back together because you. Chad are the one I wanna be with.

Wendy Shin. You don’t waste any time, do you? ? Oh, you think Wendy and I? No, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, see, I, I came back to Salem for your mom’s funeral and then things have been pretty rough with my mom lately. And Wendy’s been a, a really good listener and a good friend besides, she’s already sort of seen someone.

Anyway, Johnny Damira sort of.

Something wrong. Well, I thought we said you were going to wait. What was everything that’s going on with your family and Afu was going on with mine. Ah, we did say that, didn’t we? We agreed it was a good idea, Tawny. I know we did, but I couldn’t help myself when I saw the movie Marqui. Look, this is such a classic thriller and it’s playing for one night only.

All right, look, I know I should have called and asked first, but I You were being impulsive. I get that. It’s just that we talked about waiting just yesterday, so this feels kind of sudden. No. Is that what this is about? How sudden it is? Or is this about what happened with Chanel?

So Johnny Dara is trying to play both sides of the fence. Huh? He wants Wendy and Chanel Dupree. Hey, well that’s not at all what I said. No. I said that Wendy told me that Johnny almost kissed Chanel, excuse me, vulnerable place. You know his grandmother was dying. Something that we both can relate. Sure Ming on Your Ex is a well-known remedy for stress and grief, but in my book, that forfeits his right to go after Wendy.

Oh, well, I’m sure she’ll be thrilled to know that you made the decision for her. All I’m saying is Wendy has options and yeah, Johnny’s cool, but he’s not a hot shot doctor like my brother. Look, I already told you. All right. She and Johnny are playing her step things up soon. As soon as not now. All right.

Wendy’s available and Johnny’s already given her enough reasons to doubt him, so stop making excuses no more. If you want, Wendy. I say go for it.

Is that why you’re hesitating? Cause it still bugs you that I almost kissed Chanel. It’s not like I’ve forgotten about her. Look, Wendy, we’ve talked through all this. Yeah, I know, but, but, but. What allie’s filling your head with doubts. She is, isn’t she? You know what, we’re gonna fix this right now. Chanel, will you come out here and talk to Wendy, Johnny?

No. You know what? We are going to fix this. Chanel’s gonna come out. She’s gonna tell you there’s nothing going on between us and we can move on from this. Chanel Johnny, stop. Chanel’s not here. She moved out.

Chanel, you and Ellie agreed to take a break and then you walked out. It shouldn’t matter what happened between then and when you went back to apologize. Now go back there and make things right. Make things right. How? By apologizing again, begging her to take me back groveling. Did I say you had to beg or grovel?

No. Explain to my daughter what I meant. Come on back, me up here. Well, your mother just wants you to be happy. That’s all. and, and we’ve both seen how, how happy Ali makes you. The point is, darling, sometimes you have to be humble and go the extra mile, not by groveling day gang, just by reassuring the person that you love, that they mean more to you than anyone else in the world.

Yeah, I get your point. Yeah. I’ll, I’ll go with the extra mile and I’ll just try to forget all about. Sleeping with Alex, Kiki.

I hope we can put this Alex stuff behind us. Just concentrate on us. Yeah, that sounds good to me.

Damn kids are sleeping, right? We’re alone. Actually, no, they are not sleeping. I told you I heard a voice. What?

Do you need tell us, Stephanie was coming over. What are we doing? What? What are we we’re doing nothing. It’s, you guys are both going back to bed, but nothing. It’s late, but we wanna hang out with Stephanie. You know what, I’ll, I’ll make you guys a deal. How about I read you something from your favorite book and then you have to listen to your dad in post sleepy time.

Deal great. Then why ain’t go pick out a book?

I will take the L on this one. If I had spent a few more minutes hunting from my underwear this morning instead of going commando. You and Chanel would be back at your place right now having magical makeup sex. Has anyone ever told you you have a one track mind? Well, it’s just kind of hard not to dwell on the possibilities, you know?

I mean, not everybody would be like us and not end up in bed together. We deserve like medals of honor for having that kind of restraint. Seriously, Allie, seriously, is that all we got is an angry ex-girlfriend on a couple world class hangovers. Yeah. You weren’t looking too good when I came in. Are you still nursing your.

No, the only hangover I’m nursing right now is at rejection one. You think things were bad on the Stephanie front last night? It ain’t hurt nothing yet. No. What happened? Ah, it’s better if I don’t talk about it, to be honest. If I gotta relive those feelings again, I’m, I’m gonna need something to wash it down with,

unless, of course you have any interest in washing down, bitter, angry, heartbroken feelings together. I actually have a lot of interest in doing that, although it sounds like we may be giving ourselves another hangover. True. But it’s not like anybody’s gonna have to take care of us. Stephanie’s definitely not gonna give a damn.

I’m sure they’re not gonna be seeing her while I am. Nursing said hangover. Mm-hmm. . And it doesn’t really seem like Chanel’s gonna care all that much either. Now, she wouldn’t even know considering we do not live together anymore. So then why are we still here? He’s me. Let’s go nurse that hangover. Ya

Chanel baby. Um, there could be a million reasons why that boy left his underwear behind a million. Really? Give me one. Maybe he sleeps in the buff. Yeah, that’s what Allie said, that supposedly he forgot them or misplaced them when he slept in the office. Well, you know, it makes sense to. I mean, it seems for Alex Caras that would apparently be on brand.

Absolutely. The way I see it. Those two got overserved at the bar, slept separately, and then he stumbled out of the place without his underwear. Okay. Can, can we just change the subject please? Sure, sure. So, well, you know, maybe we should eat before the food gets cold. Oh, you were obviously planning a romantic dinner for two, and now it’s for three.

Come on, baby. Oh, no, no, no, no. I am not going to ruin your evening. Oh, have fun. Hi, Chanel. Chanel. Oh, Abraham. Poor girl. I mean, she’s, she’s really going through it, huh? Oh, and how. You know what I think, I think Mars must be in retrograde. You know, I’ve heard of Mercury being in retrograde, but Mars, oh, Mars is much worse.

Relationships go on the rocks except for ours, of course. Oh. Of course , but seriously, seriously. Oh, you know, and if there were already existing problems, you know, like jealousy and misunderstandings, well then they tend to just multiply like crazy

trip. There’s no rule that says you have to step aside just because damara is in the mix. All right. You’re just as legitimate choice for Wendy as he is better if you ask me. Okay. I spent hours with her today. And if she was interested, I think I might know, maybe you need to open your eyes. I mean, this wouldn’t be the first time that you’ve been clueless about a woman’s feelings for you.

Okay. I am going to get us a round of beers and, uh, let’s talk about anything else but Wendy and me when I get back. Okay? Sure. No problem.

Ah. Why is this getting so out of control? I mean, Chanel and I didn’t even do anything, but you two have history, Johnny. Yeah, history that implies past tense. I’m trying to be here with you now in the present. Look, I know that we agreed that we’re not gonna go on any dates, but hey, it’s just a movie. Zero pressure.

Scott’s Honor.

Maybe I am being overly cautious. It shouldn’t be a problem with me in certain regards anyway. And it is just a movie like you said. So let’s a yes. Sure. Yes. Okay. Tossum, if we leave now we have time to catch a bite. Oh, hold on. I should take this. Joey. Hi. I was gonna call you about your mom. I’m so sorry.

It’s just so sad and awful. Yeah, it is. But right now it’s trip. I’m worried about, he’s kind of in a bad way about his mom. I heard Trip talked to me about how hard it’s been, right? Yeah. He said having you as a soundboard helps so much. I’m with him at the Brady Pub right now, but I’ve gotta go meet up with my dad regarding my mom’s funeral arrangements.

Would you mind, um, coming by and keeping ’em company for a while? Oh, you want me to come to the pub now? Yeah, if you don’t mind. No, no, no, no. I wouldn’t mind. Uh, I’ll be there as soon as I can. Thank you. That’s great. See you soon.

Something wrong. Um, kinda this trip’s been going through something and I’ve been sort of an ear for him so we can vent. So, so Joey just asked me if I could go to the pub and hang with him for a while with trip mean like, I can’t it. Wait, I don’t think so. I mean, it must be pretty urgent for Joey to have called me.

You know everything that’s going on with Tripp’s mom. Yeah, sure I do. She killed my grandmother. Maybe I could choose some comfort tonight too. Except our plan wasn’t for me to give you comfort, Johnny. We were going to watch a horror movie. Remember. Fine. You’re right. You’re right. And you’re being a good friend, which I respect.

So Go ahead. He’s for understanding. We’ll go to a movie another time. Sure. I’ll uh, see you later.

What happened to those beers? Dad called right before I got them and I, I think we should go be with him. Like, do you mean now? Yeah. He, it sounded like he could really use the company and maybe some help with the funeral arrangements. Oh. Um, yeah. Can you gimme a sec? I have to use the restroom. Yeah, yeah.

Okay. Okay. I’ll be right back. Don’t go anywhere. Okay. Alright.

So that the boy thought to himself why he looks just like my old bunny that was lost when I had Scarlet Fever. But he never knew that it was really his own bunny. Come back to look at the child who he had first helped him to be real. The end. Such a sweet book, huh? We love that book. Mom used to read it too.

My mommy used to read it to me too.

Celine Rabbit’s been around for a while. What did we say to Stephanie? Thank you. You’re very welcome. Now that I’ve jumped up my end of the deal, but we’re not as hard, can we stay up a little longer please? That wasn’t part of the deal, please. No. What is this puppy, dog? It’s not gonna work. Fine. All right.

Yes. Okay. Can stay up for a few extra minutes, but no more books cause it’ll take too long. What’s so fine? ? Okay. Then what do you, what do you wanna talk about? Any, uh, any ideas? No, but I have a question for Stephanie. Oh, sure. What is it?

My dad painting,

would it be okay with you guys? If we were,

we may have slept in separate rooms last. But as soon as I ran into Chad wearing the same clothes yesterday, pretty obvious that him and Stephanie didn’t hold back. Okay. But you’re assuming, and if Stephanie and Chad didn’t go to bed together last night, then you still have a chance. I love how you have my back yelling.

I really do. But uh, that’s not the whole story. It gets worse. I’m just getting started. Hey, find by me. I’ve got all. And you know what they say? Misery loves company

Chan. Oh, Johnny. Hi. Hey. I was, uh, which is at your place, which apparently isn’t your place anymore. You really moved out. Allie and I decided to take a break, and then she decided to extend it. It’s about us, isn’t it? The kiss that never was, tell me about it, but no, it’s, it’s not just, , unless you’re like my mom and you think that Alex Kiya is spending the night and losing his underwear in Allie’s place is no big deal.

What? What? Mm-hmm. . She, she turned your threesome into a twosome. Yeah. I, I don’t know. She, she denies it, but I, I, I don’t know anymore and it’s bad. Either way. You look at it. Yeah, it is. So now you’re what? Just wandering the streets? Well, I went home for a while, but then he, even my mom, they were having this romantic dinner and so I just, I told them I would give them some space, which means you have some time to kill and there’s no sense in just standing out here in the cold.

So come to the movies with me, tickets and popcorn on me. What do. Johnny, are you sure this is a good idea? I mean, for one thing, what about Wendy?

Ah, there you are. Let’s go dude. What’s the rush? You said you wanted to talk. Okay. I never said that and plus I’ve been here for like a while. I want to get moving. Okay. I wanna go be with Dad. Let’s go. Hey Brandy. Hey. What a nice surprise. Get over here. Don’t tell Trip I asked you to come.

Okay. First of all, I want you both to know that I will always love your mother, just like I know both of you. And, and I was gonna tell you about Stephanie and me, but I just wanted to wait for the right time. So here we are. What’s the, uh, what’s the expression that, uh, that I always say? No time, like the present.

That’s it. And, I just want you guys to know that it makes me very happy that you guys like Stephanie so much because I really like Stephanie too, and I just want to make sure that the more and more time I spend with her and and date her that it doesn’t confuse. Or make you feel bad? Not me. Not you either, right?

Charlotte?

I’m glad. Are you two gonna get married? Mary

Um, uh, . That’s a, that’s a, uh, Mary. No. That’s a very big step and, um, that’s probably too big of a step for, uh, for us to talk about right now. So right now we’re just gonna talk about the very, very, very small step and, um, is it okay? Is it okay? Do you guys wanna spend some more time with Stephanie?

I guess that’s a yes.

I, I just saw you, so I don’t think that reads a hug. You always read a hug, , you know, we, uh, we’re just talking about you actually. It’s a, it’s quite the coincidence that we’d run into you, right. Yeah. You know what? No one was at the apartment. I was kind of bored. So here I am. Yeah, it doesn’t really matter.

Why. Have a beer with us. Please. Trip was, uh, just telling me all about how you helped him out. Yeah. How has your mom and he changed? Uh uh No, I still haven’t spoken to anyone in Bayview. Still doesn’t make it any easier though. Right? It’s great how you were there for him, um, when he needed you. You never know when those feelings are gonna come rushing back, and I’m always around Tripp whenever you need to talk.

Ugh. So I got a little hopeful when she told me that she read my apology. But then my hope Scott is dashed very fast. What is wrong with her? Like, doesn’t she realize you didn’t mean to hurt her? Oh, Stephanie’s not the bad guy here. I’m the one who messed up. I can’t be mad at her or even Chad, but I’m mad at, you know, it is what it is.

We ended as friends hasn’t. That’s as much as I’ll ever get. What a bummer. Yeah, to put it mildly. Whoa. Now I have heard your tale of, whoa, you’ve heard mine. Yep. Aren’t we? The pair? So what’s next?

Oh,

isn’t it obvious? Keep him coming. Oh, yeah. , oh, I guess trip’s really upset, but with his mom being in the mental hospital and he needs Wendy’s shoulder to cry on or whatever, which means I’ve got this extra ticket just burning a hole in my pocket. Wendy’s loss could be your, Johnny, I, I really don’t think it’s a, a good idea.

I know you already said that, but I disagree. I I know you’re worried Allie will find out, but it’s, but what, I don’t think either of us needs that headache and it’s already just, it’s so messy. It’s not our fault. Hey, how about this? We’ll put an empty seat in between us and I will put the largest tub of popcorn they sell in that seat.

Allie never has to know. So what do you say?

Well, that was unexpected. Oh, I thought you did great. Yeah. Well, it helps that they’re, uh, they’re crazy about you. You should have seen your face when Thomas asked if we were gonna get married. . My, my fa What do you mean you look startled? Uh, I, I didn’t know what to say either. I’m just, I’m glad you took the reins.

I’m, um, I’m very flattered and relieved that I got the thumbs up from your wonderful kids. Two very enthusiastic. Right . Well, you know what that means, right? What? As many of these as

you don’t like, Oh, sorry, Abraham. Oh this. This truly is a feast for a queen and I love you for making a special meal just for the two of us, but I need to go and get Chanel and bring her back here, Paulina. . Well, it’s partially my fault that she and Allie things didn’t work out with them. I was the one who told her to go back and apologize.

Now look, everything is just spiraled outta control. You gave Chanel sound advice and didn’t work out the way we hope. But you’re not the blame for that. Well, what the fucking stand my baby heard Paulina. Paulina honey. She knows a grown woman, and she’s wise and compassionate just like her mama. So just trust her.

Trust her. To find the right fix and then you and I can concentrate on us for a change.

We’ll wear sunglasses. Brilliant. Then no one will recognize us. Yeah, you didn’t let me finish. I’ll wear my father’s trench coat. We’ll enter separately and we’ll work out a series of complex hand signals to communicate with, or we could. Text. No. A spy these days. No. Too risky. You, you do know Morse code, right?

No, but I’m a quick learner. Is that a yes? You wore me down? Yes. I will go. We can go, but I, I need one of those elaborate disguises. Oh yeah. By all. Okay, but I’m thinking like a little less Clark Kent and a little more Charlie’s Angels. Maybe a blonde wig or some red box sprays or something. Sure, sure. I dig it.

But wait, I, I forgot to ask you what movie it is. I don’t wanna look like one of those, uh, fanatic overzealous cosplay. No offense. Yeah, not taken. It’s a total classic. What movie is it? Evil Dead too. Ge. No, no. Thank you. But no. Come on, come on, come on, come on. I watched Exorcist with you last time and that was enough for me.

Okay. I had nightmares for weeks. You know what, I’m not doing that again. No. Yeah. I can’t believe it. It, it will nobody go see this movie with me. Well, I won’t, but I will buy you a drink to make up for it. Okay? Okay. Where do you wanna go? No one could believe it. Trip hadn’t even been in Seattle all that long, and you know, he already made a lifesaving diagnosis that no one else caught.

Everyone else missed. I mean, this guy is a, he’s a hero. Then there was this one time, okay, you know enough about me, uh, , Hey, did you actually know that Joe here helped save the planet? He did. Mm-hmm. just last week, he took the recycling to the curb all by him. No one even had to ask him. That’s funny. You’re funny.

Yeah. Well, I try to do what I can. It’s late. Uh, I’m gonna head back to Dad’s place and see if he needs any help with the funeral stuff. Yeah, yeah, sure. Let’s go. No, dad and I can handle it. You too. Hang out. Good to see you. He just wants I to ask Joey something real quick. Hey Joe. You calls, didn’t you? Huh?

What are you? Okay. First she just shows up, uh, right after you pushed me to ask her about and then why you talking me up? Like you’re major or something. You heard her? She said she wanted to get outta the house and I can’t brag about my brother. No, you can’t. When you’re insulting my intelligence.

Alright. Okay. Yeah. I called her when you were supposed to be getting those beers that you never actually got. Okay. Why would you do that? I was trying to do you a favor. I know you wanna hang. You welcome.

You did outdo yourself tonight, Abraham Dinner was sublime. Well, I am glad you think so. Are you still still worried about Chanel? No, I am not. Thanks to you. You’re a very wise man. Mm-hmm. , and I am. I’m so grateful to you for always giving me perspective, not just on my children, on everything, you know. I am.

Surely you would do the same for me, . Yes, I would. Yeah. We make a pretty good team, don’t we? Mm-hmm. . Yeah, we do. Well, you know what? I think it’s time for a dessert. Well, if you, you mean this kind is a.

I am definitely ready.

Okay, you guys, come on. It’s time for bed. Hey, come on. Gimme your phone, but I’m in the middle of my game. You can finish it tomorrow. Okay. Okay. One more book please. , please. What about you? You want another book? Okay, fine. But only after you guys are tucked in for the night. Okay. Um, and before, um, before we go upstairs and, uh, I tuck you in for the night, I wanted to, um, I wanted to tell you guys something.

I’m mom. I’m very grateful that you have both. So sweet and so welcoming to Stephanie. Okay? It means it means a lot to me, and I want to tell you something very, very important. Hey, look at me. I wanna tell you something very important. I love both of you more than anything. You are the most important thing in the world to me.

And there is no one, there is nothing that is more important to me than you guys. So even though I like Stephanie a a lot, and I know you guys do too,

no one will ever replace your mother, okay? Okay. Not for me and not for you. Okay,

Joey. Steph, Hey, where are you headed off to? I’m headed home to see Dad. That’s where I’m headed to. How’s trip coming? Uh, probably not for a. No, I think he’s tied up, or at least I hope he is.

Okay, so where were we? Well, you were brushing off to tell Joey something over by the door, so I wouldn’t hear you. What was that all about?

What secrets do you hold? Golden Elixir. There’s only one way to find out. True that true that.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Victor: Well, think nate’s contributions are always valuable.

Nate: I appreciate you saying that, victor.

Michael: However, certain sensitive details have come to light that should be kept on a need-to-know basis. And since this is newman enterprises’ corporate business, which doesn’t involve newman media, I’m sure you will understand.

Victoria: He already knows about our plan to assume tucker’s outstanding debt, so there’s no need to talk around it. It’s why I wanted him in on this meeting in the first place. Not only does nate have the big, bold ideas that we need on something like this. We also happen to have a key element in place that is going to help us tremendously, thanks to nate.

Michael: Oh, goody. What might that be?

Victor: I think victoria’s referring to nate’s coo, audra charles, right?

Tucker: Mind if I join you?

Audra: Yes, I do.

Tucker: Ah. How’s the new gig going? Ahh. Is, uh, newman media still planning a move on daniel romalotti’s gaming platform?

Audra: [ Sighs ] You didn’t get the memo? We’re not in cahoots anymore. I thought I was clear when you summoned me to talk about omega sphere.

Tucker: What was clear to me by the time you left my room is that you still enjoy certain aspects of spending time with me. You’ll have to forgive me if i assumed that meant still being in cahoots.

Audra: Why would I, uh, feed you information that could help you and work against newman media?

Daniel: Chance.

Chance: Hey, daniel. How you doing, man? I heard you were back in town.

Daniel: Yeah. It’s good to see you.

Chance: Yeah, good to see you, man. Been a minute.

Daniel: Yeah.

Chance: Uh, have you seen abby yet?

Daniel: I have. Um, it’s been great catching up with her.

Chance: Yeah, well, I assume you know we broke up then.

Daniel: I-I heard that. I’m sorry.

Chance: Eh, it is what it is, man. Life happens.

Daniel: [ Chuckles ]

Chance: How you doing? How are things with heather?

Daniel: Well, let’s just say that life happened for us, too.

Chance: Oh. That’s too bad. I’m sorry.

Daniel: You know, I’m — I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to take it to such a dark place.

Chance: No, it’s okay, man. I, uh — I can relate.

[ Door opens ]

Sally: [ Exhales sharply ]

Nick: Where do you want me to set up lunch?

Sally: Um, do you mind if — ugh! — We hold off for a little bit? ‘Cause I’m just a little too wound up right now to eat.

Nick: Yeah, no problem.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Man. That paternity test was a lot quicker than I expected. It’s crazy how just a simple cheek swab can determine our entire future. I don’t know how I’m supposed to focus on anything until we get the dna results.

Nick: Remember what the tech said. It’s gonna take a few days. So we just got to make sure we get some food in you and get some rest and relax because in your condition, getting agitated is not good for you or —

Sally: The baby. Yes, I know it’s not — it’s not good for the baby. How are you so calm? I mean, this is so overwhelming.

It’s the most wonderful

time of the year.

Nick: The real impact on our lives has already happened, right? You’re pregnant. And I’ve told you I’m here for the duration. I think I’ve done a pretty good job of trying to convince you of that.

Sally: Yeah, absolutely. It’s just the not knowing whether you’re the father or adam is. That’s the big question mark. That’s what’s hard. I mean, I was ready to climb walls after having to wait just a few minutes for a pregnancy test. How in the world am I supposed to get through the next few days?

Nick: You got this. I have faith in you.

Sally: How are you so calm when you don’t even know if you’re gonna be changing diapers again? I’m sure you thought you were done with all of that. I mean, christian is becoming more self-sufficient now, and sum– oh, my god. This baby could be summer’s little brother or sister. She’s gonna hate that.

Nick: Yeah, let’s not think about things like that, okay? It just stresses you out. Just take a deep breath.

Sally: No, you’re right. I mean, it might not even be yours.

[ Exhales sharply ] And if it’s not yours, then i just have to deal with adam being the father… and telling him.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Yeah. Well, we’ve talked about this. You don’t have to tell him anything right now. You can choose when and how you want to handle all these things, when it’s best for you. Personally, I wish he never had to know.

Sally: Yeah, well, that’s why I started out just testing your dna. You know, and if things turn out like we’re hoping, it would simplify things immensely. But is it the right thing?

Nick: Ethically, you mean?

Sally: I just mean adam is eventually gonna know I’m pregnant. You know, I — there’s no way i can hide that. And he’s going to be able to do the math, and we both know he’s not gonna ignore the possibility that he could be the father. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and tell him.

Daniel: Man, you’re this literal hero and I’m just the guy who screwed everything up and yet here we are, more or less the same place.

Chance: Yeah. Well, you think putting physical distance in between you and heather will help?

Daniel: Actually, I came back here to work on this exciting new venture, um, with your family’s company. Well, yours and lily’S.

Chance: No way. You’re working with chancellor-winters.

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Chance: Doing what?

Daniel: Haven’t got the official green light yet, but, um, I pitched them on our new video game platform.

Chance: You’re kidding.

Daniel: Mm-hmm. Eh, it probably seems pretty frivolous to you.

Chance: Mnh. No. Hey, abby’s nephews gave me a crash course on one of their favorite video games a while back, so I get it, man. I get what a big deal they are.

Daniel: Mm. I got into gaming ’cause of my daughter. I’m hoping that’ll be my path back to her, you know? If I can pull this off, maybe i can prove to lucy and heather that I’ve grown, that I’ve matured. Then they’ll be able to trust me again, and — I don’t know — hopefully one day, it’ll bring us back together.

Nate: Audra was tucker’s mole at chancellor-winters. While consulting on the ipo, she fed him information to help him gain a controlling interest once the company went public.

Michael: And now she’s here at a newman subsidiary.

Nate: She no longer works for tucker, but it seems she can still get his ear whenever she needs to.

Michael: How convenient.

Nate: Most importantly, audra knows how the man’s mind works and how to play him. She can be a valuable asset in any plan to take over mccall unlimited.

Victor: I agree. I think she could be of use — if she’s on board. Do we know where her loyalties lie?

Nate: I can’t speak for my coo, but she’s been pretty vocal about her frustration with tucker regarding their dealings with chancellor-winters. Audra’s made it clear she has something to prove to the man, which we can use to our advantage.

Michael: Alright, I can see the value of having a team member who can assess our target’s state of mind, but can she be trusted? She was a double agent at chancellor-winters. What assurance do we have that she’s not working with tucker to play us?

Tucker: No, I’m just asking about the gaming platform out of curiosity.

Audra: Oh, sure you are.

Tucker: Oh, audra, as god is my witness, I would never sabotage you. You know that. Just a little friendly competition.

Audra: Is that really your thing?

Tucker: I already made my pitch to daniel anyway, and he was very impressed. But I would like to know newman media’s intentions to help me decide whether to get more aggressive or, if need be, move on.

Audra: I might consider sharing some information with you if you share some with me first.

Tucker: What would you like to know?

Audra: Mm. Tell me the truth. Just how much debt are you in really? One prilosec otc each morning blocks

Tucker: I am amazed that that rumor is flying around. It really makes me wonder where it originated ’cause it’s clearly an attempt to undermine me.

Audra: By whom?

Tucker: Well, uh, nick and victoria newman asked me about it directly, so maybe it came from victor. Um, and we all know that nikki has it in for me. Hell, it could have been jack as a counterpunch to me trying to acquire jabot.

Audra: Or maybe ashley as a parting shot or devon to express his irritation with you.

Tucker: Yeah, there are so many people in this town to choose from.

Audra: You know, I find it remarkable just how many enemies you’ve made in the short time you’ve been back in town.

Tucker: I don’t consider them enemies. They’re just worthy adversaries.

Audra: Of course, there’s another possibility.

Tucker: Who’d we leave out?

Audra: Maybe it’s not a rumor. Maybe mccall unlimited really is floundering.

Tucker: Does that seem likely to you? Your checks always cleared, didn’t they?

Audra: [ Scoffs ] I mean, you didn’t pay me nearly enough for that to put a dent in your bottom line.

Tucker: If I were having financial issues, it wouldn’t make any sense for me to plot to buy a controlling interest in chancellor-winters or make a move on omega sphere.

Audra: In business school, i read numerous case studies about moguls who use other people’s and the bank’s money to finance acquisitions. Just…

Tucker: Well, I hope that when they write about me that my story’s a little more interesting than that. Who knows? Maybe you’ll merit a mention.

Audra: I’m no mere footnote, okay? My career is gonna be worthy of an article of its own.

Tucker: Yes, I know. You’re a confident woman. I’ve always admired that.

Audra: You still haven’t told me anything.

Tucker: What?

Audra: No.

Tucker: I think I’ve been quite clear.

Audra: Alright. I have a meeting, okay? If you’re not gonna be straight with me, I’m not gonna share anything that I know about newman media’s intentions.

Tucker: Well, you know what? I think your offer is not a fair trade.

Audra: Oh.

Tucker: Why would I give up valuable information to learn what I already know? Nate is interested in omega sphere. So I think I’m gonna pass.

Audra: That’s almost an acknowledgment.

Nate: Audra has proven her loyalty.

Victor: In what way?

Nick: There’s a new venture I’m interested in. She found out tucker is going after it, as well, and she’s determined to help me get ahead of him on this.

Michael: And yet you worked with this woman for months at chancellor-winters and had no idea what she was up to.

Nate: She fooled all of us, including jill, who hired her in the first place. But that was before audra’s eyes were open and she became disillusioned with tucker. So, yes, I believe she’s loyal. She’s also grateful to have her job here and eager to prove her worth.

Michael: I’m glad you have a good working relationship. I’m still not convinced we need to bring in anyone else on this. We have everything we need to move against tucker by assuming his debt.

Nate: Look, I’m curious about that. Could tucker have made himself so vulnerable that he could lose control of his entire company? Is he really that desperate?

Victoria: That’s a great question. What do you think?

Victor: Michael?

Michael: I just discovered and relayed to victor that, uh, buying mccall’s debt will give us leverage, but not absolute control. We’ll still need to convince tucker to sell to us.

Victoria: Which is a battle in itself.

Nick: What I’m really asking — could tucker have taken on this debt on purpose? Is it possible he’s laying some kind of trap for us? I mean, the man thinks several moves ahead, not unlike you, victor, although I’m not sure what his endgame would be.

Victor: The question has occurred to me, as well. I don’t see any downside to acquiring his debt. But I like the way your mind works.

Victoria: This does sound like the kind of challenge that tucker relishes.

Victor: The question to you, nate, is how would he react if he knows that we’re gonna acquire his debt? The only person who might find out for us is your coo.

Chance: So you’re embarking on this whole new career in hopes of winning back heather and lucy?

Daniel: It’s gonna allow me to become my best self and, you know, maybe help others change, too.

Chance: By playing video games, huh?

Daniel: Well, I’m designing them to have a positive message so players hopefully will be inspired to take action in their own lives.

[ Laughs ] That probably sounds crazy to you.

Chance: No, man, that’s awesome. That’s awesome. You’re doing something that you feel strongly about. I bet that must feel amazing.

Daniel: What do you mean, “must feel”? You’ve been doing that your whole life, working for the greater good.

Chance: Yeah. I don’t know. Guess I haven’t really been feeling the same passion lately.

Daniel: Mm.

Chance: You know, I got into law enforcement because i believe in justice, right? You know, I wanted to protect the innocent. I wanted to make sure the guilty were punished. Lately it just feels like I’ve been doing the opposite of that.

Daniel: Did you have some cases fall apart or something?

Chance: Yeah, something like that.

Daniel: Mm.

Chance: I don’t know. Maybe I’ve just been too idealistic this whole time. Maybe I need to play one of your video games, catch me a little inspiration to make things better.

Daniel: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: I wouldn’t be in a rush to tell adam anything right now. Assuming the lab results come back and I am the father, it’ll make the conversation a lot easier.

Sally: [ Sighs ] I know. And chloe convinced me of that, and I know you agreed. And at the time, it made sense. I — I don’t know if it’s hormones, but lately things that make sense in one moment definitely do not in the next, and now I’m just — I’m second-guessing it. I’m just imagining adam’s reaction whenever he finds out, and then he’s gonna know that i kept it from him.

Nick: I think you need something to distract yourself. How about work? Do you think you could focus on that?

Sally: Maybe, if I had any to focus on.

Nick: What if I got in touch with jill and convinced her to let you and chloe give your pitch?

Sally: [ Chuckles ] That’s a very sweet offer, but i would not feel right about you getting involved.

Nick: I’m already involved.

Sally: You can’t fix everything. Nor would I expect you to. Look, you’re here for me on account of the baby, but it is not your responsibility to get me a job.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Actually, I feel partially responsible for that, um, considering it was my father who threw a wrench into the whole thing.

Sally: Victor called jill and trashed me?

Nick: To sabotage your meeting.

Sally: Unbelievable.

Nick: Yeah. Uh, I didn’t say anything before because of everything that’s going on, but, sally, you deserved to know.

Sally: Honest to god, I don’t even know what to say… except [Scoffs] What a jackass!

Nick: Well, I want to try and make this right. I want to reach out to jill and see if I can repair the damage my father has done. And I think I can do that. I think I can convince her to reevaluate her decision and give you and chloe a real shot, if you’ll let me.

Sally: [ Scoffs ] I always knew that victor wasn’t my number-one fan, but I thought maybe based on my quality of work at newman media that he had a grudging respect for me. Why would he go out of his way to torpedo my new business opportunity, one that has absolutely nothing to do with newman media? Because he thinks I’m no good for either of his sons and he’s hoping that if I can’t make a living here, then I’ll just slink out of town in search of a new opportunity?

Nick: Pretty much.

Sally: You know, that’s not just insulting to me. It’s also a slap in the face to you and even adam.

Nick: Well, he thinks he knows what’s best for us, and if we disagree with him, then he feels like he has to protect us from our lousy judgment.

Sally: Wow. Suddenly, I am feeling a lot better about having absentee parents. At least they never tried to interfere in my life. I mean, how have you dealt with him for so long?

Nick: Trust me, I’ve lost my temper with him many, many times. But I just have to remind myself he’s my father. I know he loves me, and these are just his misguided attempts at expressing his love.

Sally: [ Scoffs ] I mean, still, for him to go to such lengths to screw me over.

Nick: Look, it’s just… you know, it’s who he is. Try not to take it personally.

Sally: Oh, but I do! I take it very, very personally. However this paternity test turns out, I am going to be the mother of his next grandchild, so he better understand who the hell I am and what I’m willing to fight for. I don’t care who he is, but victor is not going to rob me of my dream. Do it. Do it. Call jill.

Daniel: I’m a long ways away from needing any beta testers for any of my games. I mean, it’s a huge process. You got months of development and encoding and…

Chance: Well, I actually know a little something about that. Yeah, I learned to code when i was in the military, for completely different kinds of projects, of course, but…

Daniel: Ah, okay. Well, I won’t bother asking what they were ’cause I’m sure you can’t tell me.

Chance: Ah, yeah, no, that’s all classified stuff.

Daniel: [ Chuckles ]

Chance: I’ll tell you, though, at the time, I looked at that as just, like, a desk job, right? I was eager to get back out in the field, see the action. But I don’t know. Right now…

Daniel: What? You telling me the man of action would be content sitting in an office?

Chance: Probably not. But I’ll tell you what I did like about coding. There’s a right way to do everything. You know what I’m saying? I mean, you can’t do anything wrong or the program’s not gonna run. No shades of gray. There’s no ambiguity. There’s no pretending a problem isn’t a big deal because one little bug, and that whole system’s gonna crash. And right now, that sounds very refreshing.

Audra: I have wasted enough of my morning with your game playing.

Tucker: Come on. It’s the highlight of your day.

Audra: Once upon a time, that could have been true. Or at least I could fake it. But I’m no longer working for you, and we have competing interests.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Audra: What’s wrong?

Tucker: Why is it in any of your business?

Audra: You’re right. It isn’T.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Victoria: Yes, thursday’s fine. Thank you.

Nate: Sorry to run out on you, but I have a meeting to get to. Thank you for letting me sit in. It’s been enlightening.

Victoria: Thank you for your input, nate.

Nate: Anytime.

Victoria: Um, before you go, I actually have one quick question.

[ Door closes ]

Michael: Victoria seems to be putting a lot of trust in nate.

Victor: I know.

Victoria: Thank you for staying and for not being afraid to share your thoughts.

Nate: Mm, it’s refreshing to be somewhere where I’m not shut down right away.

Victoria: Well, I don’t think you’re gonna have that issue here.

Nate: Well, I will start laying the groundwork with audra and report back to you. I believe she’s loyal on this, but I will proceed with caution.

Victoria: I’d expect nothing less.

Nate: [ Clears throat ]

Daniel: You know, that is a really interesting way of looking at coding. You know, I always came at it like an artist, so all the rules, they — they get on my nerves. They make it really difficult to be creative for me.

Chance: Yeah, well, so much for us having something in common, man. I think our brains work in completely different ways.

Daniel: Believe me, sometimes I wish I was more logical and analytical. Maybe then I wouldn’t have had to hire my mom as my tech lead.

Chance: Oh, you’re working with phyllis?

Daniel: Mm. I’m taking from your tone that you’ve had some run-ins with her.

Chance: Look, your mom, she is, uh — she’s a very intelligent woman.

Daniel: [ Chuckles ] Yes, she is. You know, she knows a lot about gaming and about computers and she needed a job and I, um…

[ Sighs ]

Chance: You love your mom. You love your mom.

[ Laughs ]

Daniel: Yes. Yes, I love my mom.

Chance: Yeah.

Daniel: Even if I’m really mad at her right now. Look, whatever frustrations you’re having with your job, at least you don’t have the added stress of having to work with your family.

Chance: Well, hey, speaking of that, if it does work out with chancellor-winters, not only will you be working with phyllis, but you’ll be working with my grandmother.

Jill: When my assistant told me it was you on the line, I was pleasantly surprised.

Nick: Well, thank you for taking the time.

Jill: For you? Absolutely.

Nick: I’m calling you on behalf of sally spectra, jill. I know she got a raw deal from my dad, and I’m hoping I can convince you to ignore whatever it is he said to you that made you decide not to do business with her.

Jill: Go on.

Nick: I know dad put a bug in your ear about some bad business dealings during sally’s time in L.A. But as coo of newman enterprises, I worked very closely with sally while she was running newman media. On top of that —

Jill: Wait. Wait. Your father just didn’t put a bug in my ear. He sent me a dossier three inches thick detailing who sally is. Now, a lot of it was no surprise to me. I knew her by her reputation. But I didn’t realize what chaos she had created in the past — and especially for your own daughter, summer. So, frankly, nick, I’m a little surprised that you would defend the woman.

Nick: Yeah. Dad tried to pull the same move with me. Full disclosure, jill — sally and I are involved in a relationship. It’s a relationship that my father does not support.

Jill: I see.

Nick: And just so you know, dad didn’t give you that dossier so he could protect you and chancellor-winters. He did that to punish sally. It was vindictive and out of line. And that’s not who sally is anymore. She’s worked very hard to make a name and a life for herself that she can be proud of.

Jill: Alright, I admit I was dismayed by what I read. But what I really hate is that victor has played me for his own petty reasons. And I respect your opinion, nick. Will you be honest with me?

Nick: Of course.

Jill: Are you just helping out a girlfriend, or are you willing to stand behind ms. Spectra’s business acumen as someone I could invest in?

Nick: I wholeheartedly stand behind sally, so much so that i tried to invest in her new business venture myself, but she wasn’t having it. I couldn’t talk her into it, and I can’t push her anymore. I can give you a long list of newman employees who will attest to sally’s ability and her qualities as a leader. She’s very passionate about her design, she’s incredibly talented, and I know she will work tirelessly for you until you’re satisfied. I think you’d be very, very lucky to have her. All I’m asking you, jill, is just give her and chloe a shot. Hear them out and then make a decision for yourself. Melissa: You hear about cancer.

Chloe: How the hell did you convince jill to give us a second chance?

Sally: [ Exhales heavily ] Nick saved the day, which I will explain to you later. But jill wants to hear our pitch now.

Chloe: Whoa. Uh, okay.

Nick: Do you need to get set up? I can get jill on the video chat right now.

Sally: I’m ready if you are.

Chloe: Yeah. Let’s do this.

[ Key clacks ]

Nick: Jill. Hi. I have chloe and sally with me.

Jill: Well, we’re all busy people, so you have my attention.

Sally: We know that chancellor-winters is looking to acquire more hotels, and our design sensibility is the perfect fit.

Chloe: Yeah, and we can ensure all of your properties have their own signature look, while giving them their own unique style.

Sally: Yes, my résumé is eclectic. That is an advantage. I can draw on everything I’ve learned from my time in the fashion and the media industries and apply it to interior design. I believe that furnishings are every bit as chic as any look that walks down the runway. We need to focus on the user experience. So, design needs to be more than just aesthetically pleasing. It also needs to be functional. And that’s pretty much it. We will e-mail you our written proposal by the end of the day.

Jill: Ladies, I’m impressed. And I promise you I will give your proposal very serious consideration. Now, the company’s in flux right now, so it may be a while before I can make my decision, but… I like what I’ve heard. Oh, and I applaud you, sally, for turning around what is clearly a train wreck of a life.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] I take that as a compliment.

Jill: Yeah, it was meant as one. And, chloe, you give kevin and those babies my best, okay?

Chloe: I will.

Sally: Thank you, jill.

Jill: Bye, now.

Sally: Bye.

Chloe: Bye.

Sally: Ah! We did it!

Chloe: Ah, don’t be so modest. We killed it.

Nick: That was amazing. You guys seriously knocked it out of the park.

Sally: Ah. We really did.

Chloe: Thank you, nick, for, you know, making all this happen.

Nick: I’m just glad it worked out.

Chloe: And I need to get to kevin. How great is it gonna be to be able to tell him that we might be going back to being a two-income family? Mm!

Daniel: I know jill co-owns chancellor-winters, but she’s basically retired, right?

Chance: Well, just from, like, the day-to-day stuff. But believe me, she finds ways to make her presence known. You should see these text messages I get.

Daniel: Hmm. Well, I’d gladly meet with her every day if it guaranteed me a firm green light.

Chance: Yeah. Well, I hate to be a debbie downer, but if it doesn’t work out with chancellor-winters, what are you gonna do?

Daniel: There are some other backers here in town who have expressed interest.

Chance: That’s great.

Daniel: But I really hope it works out with chancellor-winters because i know with lily I can trust her to do right by me and my project. Everybody else just seems like they’d be using me to further their own agendas.

Audra: [ Sighs ] What an annoying morning.

Nate: Won’t ask. Listen, I’m glad you’re here.

Audra: Oh. What’s up?

Nate: I was pulled into an interesting meeting with victor, victoria, and michael baldwin. And your name came up.

Audra: In what context?

Nate: First I need to know what, if any, allegiance you still have to tucker.

Audra: None whatsoever. He tried to work me yet again today, probing to see, you know, how far we’ve gotten going after omega sphere.

Nate: And why would he think you’d share that, given that you’re now the competition?

Audra: That’s how much of an egomaniac he is. You know, tucker thinks that I’ll always be loyal to him, even when he’s shut me out and disrespected me. But I’m used to it. So I dangled some bait, asking him for information on the rumors about his debt.

Nate: Was he willing to confirm those rumors?

Audra: Of course not. No, he was evasive at first. Then he acted like the chatter he’s over-leveraged was just a plot to undermine him, although he didn’t seem terribly concerned. So I gave him zip about our intentions where daniel’s project is concerned.

Nate: How’d he react to that?

Audra: He didn’T. No, then he got a text and got all huffy. Trust me when I say tucker mccall is not a man on top of the world.

Nate: How did you leave things?

Audra: Oh, not to worry. Look, I made it clear I want nothing to do with him.

Nate: Well, I’m gonna need you to rethink that. Your connection could be just the advantage we need.

Chance: Well, I got to get going, man. I got to get back to the station.

Daniel: Alright. I hope that today is one of those days when justice will truly be served.

Chance: Me too, brother, me too. And, hey, I hope it works out with chancellor-winters and with heather and lucy. Good luck with that.

Daniel: Thank you. It’s been nice talking to someone else who’s rebuilding his life.

Chance: Yeah, man. It’s like a little mini support group.

Daniel: Mm. It is. We should do it again.

Chance: Absolutely. Alright, well, I’ll see you around.

Daniel: Yeah. Take it easy.

Sally: Thank you again for supporting me with jill and for being levelheaded when I was a mess and for taking my mind off the things that I do not want to think about right now.

Nick: That’s a lot of thank-yous.

Sally: Are you kidding? I’m just getting started.

Nick: No, no. It’s my turn now.

Sally: Alright. The floor is yours.

Nick: You dazzled me today. When I think about everything you’ve overcome, including self-doubt when we came back from…the place that shall remain nameless.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: You went from spinning out to impressing the hell out of jill. That is no small feat, especially when you consider you did it just spur of the moment like that.

Sally: Well, chloe and I have worked so hard on that pitch, we could give it in our sleep.

Nick: [ Sighs ] It was awesome to watch. You shook off what my dad did to you and just… you are amazing. I don’t know what jill’s gonna say or do. But I was proud of you. Seriously. You were radiant. Hot.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: It was pretty great to watch.

Sally: Just pretty great? Not, like, sensational or stupendous? Brilliant? Mind-blowing?

Nick: Yeah. Those, too.

Audra: You want me to keep a back channel? I thought you were adamant that I severe all ties with tucker as a matter of trust.

Nate: I do need to be sure you’re aligned with newman and not tucker. That hasn’t changed. But I hope you haven’t burned your bridges with him just yet.

Audra: I’m getting the feeling this is about more than omega sphere.

Nate: Certain moves are about to be made.

Audra: Against tucker?

Nate: Newman intends to acquire his debt, which appears to be substantial. And there’s interest from the c-suite in your ability to gauge his awareness of what’s afoot, get a read on what his response might be.

Audra: That sounds fun.

Nate: Only now you’ve got me worried. From what you just said, it sounds like tucker might not be confiding in you anymore.

Audra: Oh. I can fix that. He never stays mad at me for long.

Michael: I want it on the record that I am on the fence about bringing audra charles in.

Victor: I understand. But I have the feeling that nate has what it takes to navigate the situation.

Victoria: Yes. He will proceed with caution. I have no doubt.

Michael: Alrighty, then.

Victor: Well, mr. Baldwin, set the wheels in motion?

Michael: As soon as you give me the word.

Victoria: Once we own tucker’s debt, then we tighten the screws.

Victor: Yeah. Let the fireworks begin.

Victoria: You know, I don’t know what I’m looking forward to more — owning tucker’s company or the look on his face when he realizes that he’s been bested.

Michael: [ Chuckles ] Why not both?

Victor: You’re my girl, alright. I like the way you think. It’s a fitting slap in the man’s face after all the damage he has done to the people that I care about.

Kyle: [ Sighs ]

Jack: Morning, son. Beautiful day, isn’t it?

Kyle: Oh, somebody’s in a good mood this morning. Did mrs. Martinez make her special smoothies?

Jack: Yeah, something like that.

Kyle: Or is that smile on you face because of mom?

Jack: Sounds a bit disapproving.

Kyle: If being with her makes you happy, how can I disapprove?

Jack: I also know that you have some reservations about my relationship with —

Kyle: Understandable, don’t you think? She’s hurt you so many times.

Jack: Look, I know it’s gonna take some time to accept all of this, but you have to know I am happier than I have been in a very long time, and I am not going to hide my joy from you. Your mother is a different person than she was when you were a kid.

Kyle: I’m giving mom the benefit of the doubt. And I seriously hope this works out. Just be careful.

Jack: Careful is my middle name.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: Where you rushing off to this morning?

Kyle: Oh, I’m running late for a meeting. See you at the office?

Jack: Yep.

[ Keys jangle ]

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

Jack: Kyle? Kyle!

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Jack: [ Breathes deeply ]

Adam: You sure you got everything?

Connor: Lunch, math, notebooks, water bottle.

Chelsea: Mm. Book report?

Connor: Of course I have that.

Chelsea: [ Gasps ] Aha! Luckily, you’ve got the best mom.

Adam: And father.

Connor: The best mother and father in the world.

Chelsea: [ Laughs ] You left that masterpiece in the printer. I get extra points, huh?

Adam: What? You mean the printer that your fantastic father fixed?

Chelsea: Well, I feel like we overlooked a very simple explanation for that. Like, was the printer unplugged? Was it missing paper in the tray?

Adam: What I did to the printer is highly technical, okay? I could tell you, but I don’t think you would understand. You know, I became the printer.

Chelsea: Huh. Oh, okay. Before we know it, he’s gonna take credit for reading the book and writing the paper.

Adam: I am just saying it takes all members of the family to make things happen.

Connor: Thanks, dad.

Chelsea: Yeah. Thank you, mr. Wonderful.

Adam: Hey, she is in a really good mood. What is that about?

Chelsea: Wha– why do I need a reason to be in a good mood?

Connor: She’s been laughing at her own bad jokes ever since she got back from her dinner with billy. I forgot my title page. Be right back.

[ Bag zips ]

Adam: So, I take it you’re date with billy went well?

Victoria: Billy.

Billy: Hey. You’re happy to see me.

Victoria: I am.

Billy: Yeah. I can tell. You — you have that look.

Victoria: Okay. Um, what was I gonna say, if — if you can read my mind?

Billy: Well, I don’t know that. I’m not that good. But I’m assuming one of us is gonna be happy about it.

Victoria: Uh, actually, i wanted to, um, talk to you about lily.

Billy: And there you go. You never disappoint.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Look, I’m not trying to rub salt on the wound or anything like that. I know that breakups can be very painful.

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: If that’s what this is.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] I’m not sure what else you think it might be.

Victoria: Maybe temporary insanity or, um, an interruption to your regular scheduled programming.

Billy: Why do you — why do you want to know, vick?

Victoria: I just know that katie and johnny have really grown fond of lily.

Billy: Yeah, she — she loves them, too.

Victoria: This is gonna be a really difficult transition for them.

Billy: [ Sighs ] Join the club.

Victoria: I’m sorry. She was good for you.

Billy: You know, as I recall, you weren’t exactly thrilled when I started dating her.

Victoria: Uh, well, as i recall, you accused me of being jealous. And, honestly…I was.

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Billy: Are you really copping to being jealous of my relationship with lily?

Victoria: I am, but not in the way that you think.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] In what way, exactly?

Victoria: I was just envious that lily got the mature, responsible, evolved version of you, when you couldn’t be that guy for me.

Billy: [ Sighs ] And you deserved better.

Victoria: Well, you tried.

Billy: I failed repeatedly.

Victoria: There was a tendency for you to fall into some reckless patterns, i suppose.

Billy: Is there a reason why we’re revisiting this depressing landscape?

Victoria: Our past dictates our future. People make choices expecting a different outcome.

Billy: So, what you’re saying is, in order to not have a repeat performance of the billy abbott show, you went the complete opposite direction.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] The seemingly perfect ashland locke, yes. I can’t believe that it took me so long to realize that he was betraying me. I guess I was fixated on finding someone accomplished and serious. Well, we all know how that turned out.

Billy: Well, I’ll never forget what you did to help the kids through that whole ordeal. And I promise you that I will do everything I can to help them through this transition.

Victoria: I know you will. So, what does this mean for you and chelsea?

[ Door closes ]

Chelsea: Why does everyone keep saying billy and I were on a date? The server at the restaurant made the same mistake. It was just — it was two friends sharing a meal, having a g-rated conversation, which was a big step for me, by the way.

Adam: I know going out in the world has been a challenge for you. I mean, what has that been like?

Chelsea: It made me feel confident, strong.

Adam: Well, that’s good.

Chelsea: Yeah. And you know what? It’s nice to have a friend.

Adam: I 100% support your choice to have friends, chelsea. Going out with chloe. Go have coffee with sharon. Hell, make some new friends. But — but billy? I don’t advise it.

Chelsea: Why? Men and women aren’t allowed to be friends?

Adam: No, that’s not what I’m saying. I’m looking out for you.

Chelsea: Ah.

Adam: The real billy, you know, the one who can’t, uh, commit to a job or a woman for more than a couple months, the one who’s still trying to figure out what he wants to be, if he — [Scoffs] If he grows up — he’s in hibernation, and you’re being finessed. This “normal guy” act is not gonna last. It never does.

Chelsea: Adam, it’s not as if you’re involved or anything.

Adam: Well, you’re going out all the time. I mean, do you have any idea what that looks like?

Chelsea: [ Laughs ] Well, I hope it looks like I’m out having fun. And I refuse to feel ashamed about that.

Adam: I’m just saying that your so-called savior is gonna let you down. It is inevitable. Right now, he is relishing in being your hero, but he’s gonna get bored of it like he gets bored of everything else. And I just worry that you’re relying too much on someone who is feckless and unreliable —

Chelsea: Adam, stop it. Just stop. I’ve heard enough.

Diane: [ Breathes deeply ]

[ Chuckles ]

Kyle: Well, well, well, what do we have here?

Diane: Oh. Oh, nothing. I was just, um, dropping off some papers for jack.

Kyle: Mm-hmm. You looked like you were daydreaming. Were you thinking about what it’d feel like to be the boss sitting in that chair?

Diane: No, no. This job is beyond my reach.

Kyle: Oh, is it?

Diane: Well, for now. I do have ambition, but this isn’t it. You know, kyle, I have to be very careful. I am determined to keep my work life and my personal life separate.

Kyle: Well, I can appreciate that.

Diane: Yeah, well, I’m sure you — I’m sure you understand it, but it’s a bit different for me, you know? I don’t want anyone here thinking that I’m advancing because I’m, you know, back together with jack.

Kyle: I see. I don’t think that will be a problem. And as far as I’m concerned, we’ll continue to judge you on the quality of your work like we do with all our employees.

Diane: That’s all I’m asking. And now that jeremy stark is out of the picture, I want to look forward and focus on how I can best lend my talents to the mix. Kyle, I think it’s time for me to move up.

Kyle: Well, you’re doing great work now, so keep up the hard work, and we’ll see what happens.

Diane: Well, thanks, but what I’d really like to do is to put my years of experience and my knowledge to the best possible use to help you and summer build on everything you’ve achieved.

Kyle: Mm-hmm. I remember us talking about a possible promotion before the stark situation. Is that what we’re talking about now?

Diane: Well, it is, and it — and it isn’T. I mean, I do love pr, but i think there are some other areas where I could really make a real contribution.

Kyle: Mm.

Diane: Like — like, thinking about it, uh, what about marchetti home? It would be the perfect division for me. I used to stage homes all the time when I was a real estate agent in L.A. It’d be a match made in heaven.

Kyle: I hadn’t thought of that.

Diane: Yeah, it’s a perfect fit, kyle. You need someone to fill phyllis’s gigantic shoes. And I know it’s probably hard to find someone, but maybe that’s because you’re just not looking in the right place. Look no further.

Kyle: Wait. [ Chuckles ] You’re actually angling for phyllis’s old job? Hi, I’m angela.

Chelsea: It’s none of your business if I decide to spend time with billy. I don’t need your permission or approval as to who I can be friends with.

Adam: I’m not trying to imply that you do.

Chelsea: Okay, adam, um, i don’t think this is about jealousy because we’re way past that, so I think it’s just about good old-fashioned hatred, and you need to get over it.

Adam: [ Chuckling ] Okay. Um, I can’t think of one reason why I should.

Chelsea: I’ll give you two reasons — me and connor.

Adam: [ Breathes deeply ]

Chelsea: I know you care about me, and I know you want me to get better. And you have been supportive in every other way. But the fact that you can’t acknowledge that I’m capable of making my own decisions and that — you know, you need to accept the fact that billy’s gonna be a part of our life. You’re making this about you and your feelings, adam, and it’s the opposite of being helpful.

Adam: Okay, I know what he is capable of.

Chelsea: So do I.

Adam: [ Inhales deeply ] Okay. Okay, fine. Alright, I really did have good intentions, and I really don’t want there to be friction between us, so I will try harder for you and for connor.

Chelsea: Thank you.

Adam: Alright? I said my piece, so I won’t bring it up again.

Chelsea: Well, I appreciate that.

Adam: Billy is your “special friend.” But if he hurts you, I’m telling you I will not let that go.

Chelsea: Adam, it’s my life. So, whatever happens, you have to learn to accept it.

Billy: You know, my breakup with lily — it doesn’t have anything to do with chelsea.

Victoria: I am just saying that you’ve been spending an awful lot of time with her.

Billy: And the boys. Yes.

Victoria: You were engaged to each other once upon a time.

Billy: Okay, vick, do you want to tell me where you’re going with this?

Victoria: You both just went through a very dark and confusing time together.

Billy: Yes, that is true. And?

Victoria: And maybe in the process of trying to help her, you managed to form a deeper connection based on the intensity of the emotional situation that you went through. She needed your help, and maybe you realized that you could be her hero.

Billy: I wouldn’t go so far to say that.

Victoria: Well, neither would I…but she might. You saved her life. You made her feel like she was worth saving and worth your friendship. And maybe she made you feel like the hero in a storybook. Maybe she even gave you a little bit of a chance to rewrite history and save someone that you care about. That’s not a bad thing. All I’m saying is, if there’s something more developing between you two than friendship, I just hope you take your time. You should also know that it would behoove you to realize how your actions affect other people, like your daughter, katie. She’s a little bit jealous that you and johnny have been spending so much time with chelsea and connor.

Billy: Thank you. I didn’t realize.

Victoria: Well, now you know. You need to be aware of what this means to your family.

Diane: I wouldn’t say I’m angling for phyllis’s job, but it is strange that the position at marchetti home fits right in line with my skill set.

Kyle: Yes, it’s strange, alright, but you have to understand what a combustible situation that would be.

Diane: Well, I don’t understand why.

Kyle: If phyllis finds out you’ve taken her old job, she will go ballistic. She will take this place apart brick by brick until she finds you.

Diane: You’re exaggerating. That wouldn’t be rational. She doesn’t even work here anymore.

Kyle: I’m sorry. Have you met phyllis? Is “rational” a word you would use to describe her?

Diane: No. But I promise you, kyle, this isn’t about me finding a way to get back at phyllis. I mean, who has time for all that?

Kyle: It’s about appearances, mom.

Diane: What?

Kyle: Out of all the jobs at jabot, you feel like you would be most helpful taking over after she was fired?

Diane: I can’t worry about appearances, kyle. But I do know that I am very qualified for the job. In addition to my experience as a real estate agent, I was an extremely successful architect. I understand form and function as a part of design. There is so much I could bring to the table. My goal is for you to realize your dream in the most effective way possible. So let me help you.

Kyle: [ Sighs ] Okay. Why now? Why are you coming to me about this now? What’s different today than two weeks ago?

Diane: Well, for one, jeremy stark is no longer a threat to my life. And now that jack and I have grown closer, I’ve — I’ve been looking around, and I love seeing how closely all the abbotts work together. You know, you, summer, jack, even ashley, all working together for the family business. It’s wonderful. And it’s how it should be. And I want to be part of that. I want to be part of the family.

Kyle: So, this job is less about ambition and more about belonging to something.

Diane: Yes. That’s it, kyle. I mean, I-I love seeing how closely all of the abbotts work together towards a common goal. And I want to belong to that.

[ Sighs ] Look, I know this probably sounds ridiculous to you, doesn’t it?

Kyle: Not at all, mom. Not at all. How white do you think your teeth really are?

Diane: I’m — I’m sorry. I know that sounds silly to you.

Kyle: What? Wanting to be a part of a family? I think that’s a perfectly natural thing to want.

Diane: No, I mean wanting to be a top-level executive just so that I can feel like part of a family. It doesn’t — it doesn’t make any sense. But jabot is such an integral part of the abbotts. You know, it’s the same way for the newmans. And — and phyllis is even working with her son, daniel. So, working with family does make sense. And, kyle, I just want to contribute and be part of it.

Kyle: Sure. But there are other ways to be a part of the family without running an entire division of the company.

Diane: You know, I had a feeling you wouldn’t understand. You’ve been surrounded by a loving family your whole life.

Kyle: Not always. There was a time where I didn’t have a mother.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Okay. That’s a fair point.

Kyle: Mom, I’m — look, I’m sorry. I want you to feel like you belong to the abbotts — because you do. But I can’t just give you this job. I will talk to summer, though, and we will revisit it. You may be qualified and have good ideas, but let’s be sure it’s a good fit, alright?

Diane: Alright. I-I appreciate that. Thank you.

Jack: I wasn’t expecting to see you two.

Diane: Oh, I was just, um, dropping off some papers, and then kyle and I had a very productive conversation.

Jack: Glad to hear it.

Kyle: I was about to go to the marketing meeting, but i don’t seem to have my —

Jack: Looking for this?

Kyle: Yeah. Thanks. I just realized I didn’t have it. I was wondering why I wasn’t getting any messages. And summer has called me three times.

Diane: Where is she?

Kyle: She’s visiting a factory in waukesha, but she should be back soon. I should check in with her anyways. Excuse me.

Jack: Hey. You okay?

Diane: Oh, yeah, I’m fine. We were just — we were just talking.

Jack: About what?

Diane: Oh, family. Are you okay? You seemed so happy this morning, and now you seem a little agitated. Did you talk to kyle this morning?

Jack: Yeah, briefly.

Diane: Well, I mean, he seems to have accepted that we’re back together. Did you get a different sense from him?

Jack: He does seem to have accepted things, yeah. He just wants us to take it easy, to go slow.

Diane: [ Laughing ] Well, it’s taken us decades to get here. How much slower can we go?

Jack: Yeah, you make a good point.

Diane: Alright, well, there must be something else bothering you.

Jack: I have to prepare for what promises to be a very uncomfortable conversation with my son.

Diane: About what?

Jack: About victor’s plan to undermine adam here at jabot. Kyle is more involved than he’s let on.

Victor: Thank you, william. That’s very nice of you. I appreciate it. Yep.

Victoria: Good call?

Victor: Yeah. That was an interesting call. I just talked to a guy who’s on the board of the bank that holds tucker’s debt. And he indicated that he might be willing to offer it to us for less than face value.

Victoria: I appreciate your attempts to lower our costs, but we’re already in the process of buying off tucker’s debt. It’ll be cleaner and faster to just pay the going rate.

Victor: But, sweetheart, you want to move that quickly?

Victoria: Yes, before tucker knows what hit him.

Victor: Oh. You know, I’ve always admired that about you, admired your focus. You’re decisive. You go after what you want. I just wish that your brother adam would use all of his abilities and instincts. Instead, they’re lying fallow at jabot with that B.S. Job he has there.

Victoria: I have every faith that jack has found a hundred different ways for adam to prove himself and adam has found just as many to dash his hopes.

Victor: Imagine what we could all accomplish around here if adam applied his business acumen and intelligence to our company.

Victoria: Daddy, you’ve never been one to indulge in wishful thinking. So I assume that you’re going to now tell me what your plans are for your prodigal son.

Adam: [ Breathes deeply ]

Connor: Tell me how you fixed the printer.

Adam: Oh, a magician never reveals his secrets.

Connor: Don’t you want me to be self-sufficient and know how to fix the printer myself? Then I won’t have to send you an sos first thing in the morning.

Adam: Then where am I gonna get to showcase my magical abilities?

Connor: What did you do? Reboot? Reconnect the network?

Adam: You know what? Why don’t you tell me your secret? How did you write such a compelling book report?

Connor: Easy. I read the book.

Adam: [ Laughs ] Geez, now, why didn’t I think of that?

Connor: And I talked to mom about it. She asked me questions about it, which made me think of the story in a different way. And the report kind of wrote itself, like magic.

Adam: See? Runs in the family. You’ve been dealing with all sorts of complicated stuff lately.

Connor: Like what?

Adam: Well, you know, finding out about johnny and everything your mother’s going through and billy hanging out at the apartment all the time.

Connor: Billy’s okay. And mom seems happier. She laughs and smiles more. So, that’s good, right?

Adam: [ Scoffs ] You kidding? That’S… that is fantastic. But I just want you to know if things ever feel less than great or if you ever need anyone to talk to, I’m always here to listen.

Connor: Yeah. I know.

Adam: Okay.

Billy: Hey, connor. What do you know?

Adam: Uh, apparently not enough, which is why we got to get to school. Hey, will you, um — will you wait for me in the car?

Connor: Sure. See you, billy.

Billy: See you later. Hey, good luck on that book report, alright? Let me guess. You have an opinion about me and chelsea going out for dinner together.

Adam: Oh…yes, I do.

It’s the most wonderful

time of the year.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Jack: Kyle was in such a hurry to get to work, he left his phone at home. And he got a text.

Diane: And you found the phone and read the message.

Jack: From victor newman, thanking kyle for his help with “the adam matter” and telling him to “stay tuned.”

Diane: Well, could it mean something else? I mean, maybe you’ve misinterpreted it.

Jack: No, there’s nothing ambivalent about this. He’s been lying to me all along.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Kyle: I know what the reaction would be, summer, but we can’t dismiss her just because your mom would be upset. More than upset. I know. Look, I told her we would consider it, but not yet. Give it some time. Maybe she’ll forget all about it.

Diane: It’s not in kyle’s nature to be duplicitous. Why would he lie like that?

Jack: I think it all boils down to adam.

Diane: What, he hates him that much?

Jack: Well, I don’t think there’s any love lost between the two of them, but, no, i think it is more about a combination of victor wanting adam out of here and kyle never forgiving me for having hired adam in the first place.

Diane: That sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Jack: It is. Nothing good can come of the two of them colluding together. And this wouldn’t be the first time that kyle became part of victor’s plan.

Diane: What? I don’t like the sound of that.

Jack: I’ll fill you in on that later, but you should know right now that for a period while you were gone, kyle and victor were very close.

Diane: Really?

Jack: I just never expected this kind of betrayal.

[ Breathes deeply ]

Victoria: Nicholas told me that you have something in the works to lure adam back to work here.

Victor: What are your thoughts?

Victoria: Bringing adam back would be a mistake. He has a huge chip on his shoulder. Every meeting will become contentious. He’ll put a drag on anything that we hope to accomplish, especially if you try to force him out of jabot and make this the only game in town.

Victor: Sweetheart, this is where he belongs, and he knows it.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Despite evidence to the contrary, how many job offers of yours has he turned down anyway?

Victor: I think adam will return, and he just needs to be shown the respect that he craves and deserves.

Victoria: You know, I was wrong before when I said that you didn’t engage in wishful thinking — because that’s exactly what this is. And speaking as your daughter right now, I can only see this ending in one way — with you getting hurt badly.

Adam: I have all kinds of opinions about you and who you are and what you do…

Billy: Yeah.

Adam: …And why you do it.

Billy: Well, I’m sure you do.

Adam: Mm-hmm. That’s actually not why I wanted to talk to you today.

Billy: Okay. Go ahead. Let’s hear it.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Chelsea mentioned that she wanted to get connor and johnny together again. And since they had such a wonderful time when you took them ice skating, I thought that I would step up, do my part.

Billy: Is that right?

Adam: Mm-hmm. So I thought I could find something that they enjoy and make a day of it.

Billy: Well, that sounds good. I’m sure johnny would really enjoy that.

Adam: That’s good.

Billy: Anything else, adam? (Vo) morning, noon, night.

Victor: My sweet girl, I am very touched by your concern for me. But you don’t have to worry about a thing. Adam ain’t gonna attack me, okay? And if he does, I can take care of myself.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Well, then let me tell you what I see.

Victor: What?

Victoria: A man who blames you for everything that has gone wrong in his life, all because of what happened after he caused that man’s death when he was a boy. Look, I know that you tried to protect him, but he has used that as an all-purpose excuse for the mess that he’s made of his life.

Victor: There’s some truth to that.

Victoria: And what’s worse, that he’s — he’s even convinced you that you’re the one to blame for his life and that you deserve all the hurtful things that he has done to you because you had the temerity to love him, including increasing the dosage on your medication. He put your life at risk. You didn’t deserve that, dad. You don’t owe him anything. And if you keep sticking your neck out there for adam, he’s going to cut it off. I’m just asking you to please — just don’t put yourself in a situation where adam blames you for his failure and takes it out on you. You just need to find some way to let him go.

Adam: Well, I’ll let connor know that you’re on board with me taking everyone to the skating rink again. You know, maybe we’ll find something more interesting to do.

Billy: Yeah. Sure. Knock yourself out.

Adam: Great. So, I’ll be in touch to set up a time and date.

Billy: Okay, adam. Looking forward to it.

Chelsea: What happened?

Billy: Nothing. Actually, uh, I was about ready to, you know, brace myself for him to tear into me because we went out for dinner together, but nothing happened. He was astonishingly restrained. Did you say something to him?

Chelsea: Uh, yeah, actually. I told him he needed to stop the fighting, and he agreed to back off. I just didn’t think he’d actually do it.

[ Laughs ]

Billy: Well, this doesn’t happen very often, but I’m gonna give him his props. He kept his promise to you, and he, uh, kept his opinions to himself.

Chelsea: Well, I have to be honest with you, um, and warn you — he’s not too thrilled over the fact that we’re spending time together.

Billy: Huh. That’s funny. I had a very similar conversation with victoria.

Chelsea: Huh! Did you, now? Opinions — everybody’s got one.

Billy: They do. How does that sit with you?

Kyle: I just wanted to thank you again for bringing my phone.

Diane: Is summer okay?

Kyle: Yeah. She’s back in town. She’ll be here shortly.

Diane: Oh, good. Well, lesson learned. Keep your phone close.

Kyle: Yeah, I usually do. I just forgot today. And we had to reschedule the marketing meeting because they weren’t able to get a hold of me. Is that why you’re mad?

Jack: It’s not.

Diane: I hate to run, but i need to revise a press release. I’ll leave you two to talk.

[ Door closes ]

Kyle: So, what’s going on?

Jack: I don’t know. You tell me.

Kyle: Look, I’m sorry. I messed up. I missed the meeting. It was a mistake. It won’t happen aga–

Jack: This isn’t about a meeting. I couldn’t give a damn about the meeting.

Kyle: Okay, then what’s it about? What’s going on?

Jack: You’ve been lying to me.

Hey! Did you hear?

Chelsea: I’m dealing with important issues right now, getting back into the swing of things, taking care of myself, being healthy. I mean, I can’t believe I wasted all that energy worrying about what people at society thought we were doing there together.

Billy: There you go.

Chelsea: I mean, so what if abby — or anybody else, for that matter — thought we were on a date? Who cares?

Billy: Hell, yeah.

Chelsea: Hell, yeah!

[ Both laugh ] And, you know, I really appreciated the way that you very smoothly told that server that we were not, in fact, on a date.

Billy: Yeah, I did that. Not so smooth, but thank you.

Chelsea: I mean, listen, I’ve done way worse than go on a date with the likes of you.

Billy: I appreciate that. It’s by far the best compliment I’ve had all day.

Chelsea: [ Laughs ] Listen, if the worst thing people can say about me is I went on a date, then I’m doing something right. I’m not gonna get bent out of shape over what people think about me anymore. I’m grateful for where I’m at, where we’re at. Friends.

Billy: Friends.

Victoria: Do you know that when I was a little girl, I — I used to believe that there was almost nothing that you couldn’t do.

Victor: “Almost”?

Victoria: Well, there are a few things out of your reach.

Victor: What? What?

Victoria: Fixing the plumbing.

Victor: Oh, well…

[ Chuckles ] You know.

Victoria: Mm. And making somebody want something that they don’T.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Victoria: You know, adam doesn’t want to be a part of this family. He’s made that perfectly clear. You should take him at his word.

Victor: Sweetheart, whatever he says, whatever he claims, he belongs with this family. He belongs with me. He’s part of me, okay?

Victoria: I’m not saying that he doesn’t want to be a newman. I’m just saying he wants to be the only newman. That makes him dangerous and unpredictable.

Victor: I’m not worried about that. I’ve tried many times to, you know, shut him out and… been angry with him, disillusioned with him. I just can’t, you know? And I don’t want to. All I can tell you is that whatever plans I have devised for him to come back here and be part of this is not gonna impact our company negatively, nor is it gonna impact you badly.

Victoria: But, daddy…

Victor: What?

Victoria: …What about you? You’ve always been his target. You have the most to lose here.

Victor: My baby, I’m touched by your concern, but don’t you worry about your dad. Don’t ever worry about me, okay? I can take care of myself.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] I wish I could believe you, but with adam, there’s always a negative impact on everyone.

Victor: I’m his father. He’s part of me. I can’t let him go.

Kyle: I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

Jack: You left your phone at home.

Kyle: I know, and I was thanking you for bri–

Jack: When I picked it up, it had a message on it from victor newman. I want to know everything.

Kyle: Dad, I… there must have been a misunderstanding.

Jack: In the message, victor thanked you for helping with the adam matter and asked that you stay tuned. What am I misunderstanding here?

Kyle: I-I don’t know. I haven’t read the message.

Jack: It’s on your phone. Take a look.

Kyle: Maybe victor sent it to the wrong number.

Jack: Oh, you think that’s it? He mistakenly sent you a message about adam?

Kyle: Maybe. I-I-I don’t know.

Jack: I do know! You have been colluding with victor newman behind my back, trying to sabotage adam here at jabot. I know that! What I don’t know is why. Why are you so determined to run adam out of jabot?

Kyle: Because he doesn’t belong here, dad!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Dr. Gatlin-holt… I held my newborn daughter for the first time today. She reminded me that when I’m surrounded by my family’s love, I can face anything. Okay. Well, dr. Randolph will be here shortly. She can update you. You want to wait outside? It’s okay. I want carly here. Thank you. D-do you know what dr. Randolph has to say about the harvested stem cells? I do. Whatever it is, I can handle it. We all can. I bet I know what you’re thinking. Yeah, that we’re gonna have to learn about willow’s stem-cell transplant from someone else in the family. You know what? Uh — I am so sorry that willow’s keeping you at arm’s length. I know you’re worried about that. Hopefully that worry will be soon in the past. The transplant will work, and she’ll go into remission, and then I can focus on what the future holds — with me, my daughter… and our new granddaughter. Very funny. Do es it look likeI’m joking? Can you really just… create a job for me? I can do anything I want because I’m the boss. Also, someone from the editorial board is retiring. But I immediately thought of you because you have been very helpful to me, whether I like it or not. Mostly not. Would I be offering you a job if that were true? I honestly think you would be an asset, and you could start immediately. And this is the part where you go, “of course, alexis! I’d love to take that job!” How should i know why elizabeth went to see scott? You know her, know her mind. Surely, you must have a guess. Elizabeth: The night that I saw esme on the docks, nikolas was there, too, and that’s when he told me he knew that esme had been in town for weeks. Finn: What did he do? He kept esme locked up in a tower at wyndemere. I was providing esme with medical care. And when you saw me with the vitamins and you said you saw the same ones at wyndemere, and then you asked me if I was pregnant, I just panicked. I panicked. I came up with a lie on the spot saying that I had been with nikolas and I was pregnant, just to… protect our secret. Dr. Obrecht: So you do know something. Tell me, doctor. Why would I do that? So I can help. Okay, so, elizabeth, you committed a crime — several crimes. What did you do — run over your neighbor’s mailbox and not tell them? It’s worse. It — this is something that’s been weighing on me, and I want to come forward, but before I do, I want to know the potential consequences and if I need a lawyer. I will represent you. And everything I tell you will be protected by client-attorney privilege? Yes, yes, yes, yes. Of course. I’ve been a lawyer my entire life. I will get you out of whatever mess you’re in. Now, what did you do? A few months ago, I entered into a-a crime in progress, and I’ve been a part of it ever since. Is it still ongoing? No. Okay. How bad is it? Bad. Is there a chance that this crime could come to light? And does anybody know about it? A few people. What people? Who knows about this? W-who’s involved?

[ Doorbell rings ] Eliz– wait a m– hold on. Don’t — no. Come on. Ignore it. Ignore it. This is important. It’s obvious that I’m home.

We need to talk. Hello. Scotty. This is a pleasant surprise. Yeah… you, um… you’re here to spend time with the boys? Actually, no. He’s — he’s here for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, ava. We’ve got some legal family business to discuss. Oh, well, you know, normally I wouldn’t dream of interrupting, but, um — this — this is very important. So would you mind giving us some privacy, please? What is it that you want to talk about? Nikolas. Oh, brother. What has he done now? Well, really, this is a conversation for the people that — that know him best. And elizabeth does have some experience helping nikolas with his secrets. Elizabeth? Yeah. Can we finish this conversation later? Yeah. Are you sure? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Okay. Ahh. I’ll see ya, ava. Ava: Hmm. Not if I see you first. Listen. Do not say anything to anybody. Do not talk about this. Understand? Okay? Okay. Okay. See ya. What has nikolas told you? Everything. What’s elizabeth to you? I care for her. Since when? Since I fell in love with scott. Elizabeth is his son’s widow. Her sons are the closest thing scott has to grandchildren. His daughter is obsessed with the preservation of the seas and marine life — an admirable pursuit, but it keeps her busy and scott rarely sees her. So elizabeth and his sons are his family. When I let scott into my life, I also took in those he cares about. You and I both know I can be a valuable ally. If elizabeth is over her head, I have the skills to get her out of it, with no harm coming to her or her boys. I can only do that if you tell me what’s going on. I’m flattered that you thought of me. It’s a no-brainer. Still, it means a lot to me that you asked. I know how important the invader is to you. You’re stalling.

[ Sighs ] Sadly, I’m gonna have to turn down your offer. Why?! I feel like we’ve been on a roller coaster these past few weeks, don’t you? I mean, finding out that willow is sick and then that she’s my daughter, and then the fight for her life and the birth of her child. We have had a lot to process, nina. But this stem-cell transplant is going to work and she’s gonna go into remission. She’ll be able to resume her normal life. Michael and her will raise these two beautiful children, and maybe she’ll return to nursing if that’s what she wants to do. And then you two can repair what’s broken. You think that’s too much to ask for? I think it’s possible. Okay. Hope so.

[ Chuckles ] Willow has a big heart. As soon as this is over, she’s gonna come around and she’s gonna accept you as her mother. I’ll pray for that. In the meantime, I’m just — I’m — I’m just gonna keep trying to show her every single day that she can depend on me, how much she means to me. And I’m not gonna stop, ever. Even if she doesn’t accept me, sonny, I’m gonna die trying. I know the feeling. Maybe the same thing will happen with you and michael, huh? After all this is over, you guys will find your way back to each other. I’m not holding my breath. But in the meantime, we have a lot to be grateful for, don’t we? You have a bunch of kids who adore you. And now we have this beautiful new granddaughter. Right? [ Chuckles ] Maybe we should go, because I don’t think we’re gonna get any information from them. And we have to get ready for curtis and portia’s wedding. How much time we have? We don’t have a lot of time. Well, some. Why? W-what are you thinking? You’ll see. Let’s just wait for dr. Randolph. I-I know that there are protocols that need to be followed, but it’s — it’s more important for us to know what we’re facing. I agree with michael. Look. Every procedure’s gonna have its complications.

[ Door opens ] What kind of complications? Hi, everyone. Willow, how are you feeling? A little weak. And sore. Dr. Navarro’s says it’s normal following a c-section. But we’re all a little anxious to know what the next steps are. And austin just said there were complications… well, that’s — I — …from when I hemorrhaged? So, the good news is that you’re healing very nicely. We want to keep you here in the O.R. To keep you under observation, but so far, everything is very encouraging. Okay, well, that’s good. But you said that there were complications. Does that affect how soon willow can get the stem-cell transplant? We were unable to harvest enough functional stem cells from willow’s cord blood for you to undergo the procedure. I’m sorry, willow. This transplant is no longer an option for you.

nikolas came to see me last night. He told me all about the tower bedroom and what really went on there, that it wasn’t some tawdry affair between the two of you, that you made that up to conceal what was really going on. And I got to say, it was a bit — I’m impressed. I almost admire you. Esme should have been turned over to the police. It would have saved us all a lot of heartache. Ava, I’m sorry I lied to you. I know I got in the way of you and nikolas reconciling. Nikolas broke us long before you entered his scheme. Still, I regret my involvement. And now I have to fix things. That’s why I called scott. I’ve decided to turn myself in.

[ Chuckles ] Why on earth would you sacrifice yourself? What good will that do? I know the police are gonna end up at spoon island for an investigation, so I apologize in advance for the headache that it’s gonna cost you. Ava: Well, I’m glad it was you that saw me. So am I. And you’re right. I’m — I’m gonna keep it really simple. Nikolas was here… and then he left… and I don’t know anything else. W-we don’t want the cops focusing on spoon island. Well, a-a police search is not something that I would choose to experience again, but it would be so much worse for you. Have you really thought through the consequences of turning yourself in? It’s all I’ve thought about. But I can’t live with myself like this. But can your children live without you? So, did you have fun with pilar this morning? But she mad me eat oatmeal for breakfast. Oatmeal?! Aah! Well, guess what I’m gonna do for you tomorrow. I’m gonna make you pancakes. Would you like that? With chocolate chips? Can’t have pancakes without chocolate chips. First, I want you to meet someone. Ready? Okay. That is baby amelia, your brother’s new baby. Can you say hi? Hi! Willow is her mother. I’m her granddad. And nina is her grandma. We’re all a family!

[ Monitor beeping ] Carly: Why is the stem-cell transplant from the cord blood no longer possible? What went wrong? In order to give the patient the best chance for survival, there needs to be a certain number of stem cells available in the placenta and umbilical cord. Ideally, we need a tnc count of 25 million per kilograms of body weight. What? Tnc? Total nucleated cell count. I studied it in nursing school. If the procedure’s attempted with too few stem cells, the patient doesn’t have enough time to grow healthy blood cells. Then they’re at high risk for life-threatening infections without the immune system to fight them. When we analyzed the cord blood from willow’s umbilical cord and placenta, unfortunately, we found that the tnc count was too low, meaning it contained too few stem cells for you to successfully undergo the procedure. Did my hemorrhaging have anything to do with this? We don’t know for sure, but there’s no reason for you to think like that. Sometimes there are just too few stem cells, even if there isn’t a complication with the delivery. Wh– hold on. What about the, um, hla markers? You said you only need about half of them to be a match. The patterns weren’t as close a match as we’d like them to be. How is that possible? What’s closer than cells from mother and child?! Just like nina and willow weren’t a match, the markers and amount of cells needed differs from patient to patient. Oh, my god. And it’s influenced by a number of factors, including your disease status. My leukemia is stage iv. I studied this in my oncology class. I knew this would be a possibility. Just… I just didn’t want to believe it. Okay. Um… moving forward, right? So, uh, what’s next?

Quietingyour guilty conscience more important than raising your children? I am not putting my needs above theirs. It’s killing me that they’re gonna hurt because of what I’ve done. No, no, no. Because of what nikolas has done. All you did was help a friend! I knew what I was doing. And I’m guessing you had misgivings all the while. Of course, I did. And nikolas persuaded you to ignore those misgivings? Elizabeth, nikolas knows the truth is coming out. When he told me what he did to esme, he was already concerned that you’re having a crisis of conscience. He told me that you argued, that — that he couldn’t “reason” with you, and so nikolas did what nikolas always does. He tried to save his own skin. How? I-I haven’t told laura because I know she’s — she’s so upset already. But I believe that nikolas has left town. And so if you insist on turning yourself in to the police, you and you alone will pay for his crimes. Look, I don’t know why elizabeth called scott, but, uh… oh, why don’t you ask him yourself? Scott. Hi. Are you already finished with elizabeth? Uh, yeah. Ava interrupted us. Another of your “favored clients.” Yeah, well, they wanted to talk privately, but I wanted to get back to you. What did elizabeth want? Can we — can we talk about that somewhere else? Dr. Obrecht was just telling me how concerned she is about elizabeth. What do you care? You dumped her! No, it’s a lot more complicated than that, and despite our personal situation, I still care about elizabeth and the boys. Is there something wrong with one of them? No. The boys are fine. Okay. Is it — is it elizabeth? I mean, I’d like to help if I can. Let me give you a little piece of advice, alright? Elizabeth has enough problems right now. So there is something wrong. Is elizabeth in trouble? That’s between… a lawyer and his client. Yes. Of course. Scott and dr. Obrecht, it’s been a pleasure. You said you wanted to be where the action is. You said that often. You also indicated that you wanted to make a change. Actually, you were the one who suggested that I explore having a second act, and I said I’d think about it. Well, obviously you have thought about it and you’ve decided against it. I considered leaving the lecture hall and trying something new. Okay. And? I made a commitment to the university. I can’t just leave in the middle of the semester. Gregory, you’ve been volunteering here and giving advice and teaching at the same time now for weeks. The only difference is now you’ll be being paid. Working on the editorial board is gonna demand a much greater commitment. So we’ll be flexible here until your semester is over. And then when your semester is over, you can work here full-time. It’s not that simple. Well, from where I’m standing, it’s certainly that simple.

[ Sighs ] Unless you’re scared. You scared of following your heart? Hey, amelia. It’s grandma nina. Again. Just wanted to remind you that I love you — utterly completely and crazily. And I will do everything in my power to… make sure that you’re safe… and healthy and…happy.

[ Monitor beeping ] Um, your mommy and daddy don’t really want me near you right now, but I want you to know that I will always be here for you. And you will always be in my heart. Always. Now that the stem-cell transplant isn’t an option, your best chance for survival is a bone-marrow transplant. You’re still on the registry.

[ Sighs ] Willow has been on the registry for months and has not been able to find a viable match, okay? This was supposed to be the better alternative. What about more chemo? I am ready to do whatever’s necessary. I’m afraid at this advanced stage additional chemo could do more harm than good. The best thing we can do right now is continue to manage your illness until a donor is found. Okay. Then we wait for a match for willow. One will turn up. I mean, there’s still time. Isn’t there? Willow: Dr. Randolph. Exactly how much time do I have?

Terry: There’s no way to becertain how long you have. Sometimes patients live far longer than what’s expected. And what is expected for me? Likely a matter of weeks. Weeks? Okay, look, we don’t know any of this for sure, right? This is just our best guess based on the advanced state of your leukemia, but every patient is different. Yeah. I-I get it. I-I could live longer than that. Or — or not. I… I think I need some time. Alone. There are some things we should discuss. But there will be time for that later. We’ll leave you for now.

[ Door opens and closes ] We need to talk to them about palliative care so they can at least start to think about it. We will, but it’s too much for them right now. They’re processing the most horrible news anyone can be given. Let’s give them space to deal with that before talking about what’s next. This is not the end. You will find a donor. Thanks, mom. I love you both.

[ Door opens and closes ] Come over here. Put your knees right there.

[ Laughs ]

[ Monitor beeping ] What do you think of your niece? What’s a niece? It means baby amelia is your brother’s daughter. She’s really little. Yeah, and you were little, too, at one time. Now you’re a big girl. And she’s gonna grow up to be a big girl. And you know how you look up to your sisters, josslyn and avery? She’s gonna look up to you, too. She will? Yeah. And guess what. She’s gonna want you to look after her and be there for her. You think you can do that? ‘Cause that’s what families do. Okay, daddy. Nikolas left port charles? Ava: Well, I don’t know it for a fact. The way he stormed out of wyndemere last night, I doubt we’ll ever see him again. Between his own resources and his uncle victor’s, nikolas has the means to disappear forever. Meantime, you’ll be held responsible for all his crimes while he gets off scot-free! Is that fair? No. [ Chuckles ] Of course not. But his guilt doesn’t absolve me or erase what I did. Don’t ruin your life because of nikolas’ bad decisions. Why do you care so much what I do? What’s it to you if I turn myself in? Hey, drew. Uh, I’m not surprised you didn’t answer the phone. You’re probably getting ready for curtis’ wedding. I know you’re gonna be the perfect best man. Um, I’m, uh… still at the hospital. You know, um, we got some information today, and I just would really love to hear your voice right now. So when you get some time, can you call me? Okay. Hey! Mommy! Hi, baby! Oh, my gosh! It’s so good to see you. I took donna to see baby amelia. I was just about to go see baby amelia. We’re all a family! We are all a family. Mommy, what’s wrong? I just got some news. It didn’t work. She doesn’t have much time.

You’re right. It’s your life. Blow it up if you want to. But I know what it’s like to be betrayed by nikolas. I loved him. I really did love him. I saw the good in him. And then I saw that could be consumed by his own arrogance… and selfishness. All I want to do now is pick up the pieces of my life, and I want that for you, too. I just want to see anybody else suffer because of nikolas cassadine. Yeah, I’m not doing this for him. I’m doing this for me. I need to own what I did wrong. Why?! Nikolas, gone. Demetrius, gone. Esme, no memory. There’s nobody left who knows anything about your involvement. Except you. Well, I — [ Laughs ] I’m not gonna say anything. I know if you’re sent to jail, it won’t just be your life that’s destroyed. It’ll affect your children and all the people who care about you, who need you.

[ Sighs ] Just let nikolas go and let his crimes go with him.

[ Knock on door ] Hi. Finn. Um, come in. I just wanted to see if you’re alright. Oh, hi. That’s so thoughtful. You know, I was just talking to elizabeth about all the people who care about her. Wasn’t I? I’ll admit that, uh, I find the prospect of trying something new daunting, especially after doing one thing for more years than I can count. But I’m not holding back because I’m scared. Okay. Then what is it? I like teaching. I don’t want to give it up. I’m approaching my retirement. I don’t want to walk away from that. Okay. So do both. You really wouldn’t need more from me? Yeah, I might need a little more, but… you’d be on the front line of breaking news. Think how interesting that would be for your students. And I’m sure pcu would lighten your load a little, and I would work it out so you could do both and you wouldn’t have to give up your teaching career. I’m not so sure the university would be so accommodating. Well, then they’d be stupid not to cater to a professor like you. Well, with hundreds of adjuncts breathing down my neck for my position and willing to work for less than I make, I’m lucky I still have a job.

Now you’re being modest? It doesn’t become you. I mean, if you really didn’t want to do this, if you didn’t want this job, that would be one thing. But I know that you do. I know that this interests you. And I will work it out so you could teach and do this. So I am offering you this job. Why don’t you take it? It’s like we all had the same idea. Yeah, we’re just gonna take donna to get some hot chocolate. Can mommy come?

[ Chuckles ] You know what? Hey. Why don’t you and I go get some hot chocolate on our own so we can have some mommy/daughter time? What do you think? But before you do that, can I get a big, big, big hug?

[ Laughs ] Bye, daddy! -[ Gasps ] Oh. -Bye, nina! Bye. Do you want to put whipped cream on top? Yeah, that sounds great, doesn’t it? So you and carly seem fraught. W-what’s going on? Did she tell you anything new about willow’s procedure? Come on, sonny. Tell me. There’s not gonna be, uh, a stem-cell transplant. I don’t — I don’t understand. What do you mean? Well, I-I guess the doctors, they — they can’t harvest the stem cells. So what does that mean for willow? Carly said…

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry. Willow doesn’t have much time. Mnh. No. It’s not right. Okay? I just found her. Sonny, that’s not right. What are you thinking? That I love you… so, so much. But I really do need to be alone right now. Okay. I understand. Be right back.

[ Monitor beeping ] And I love you, too. Okay? Today is perfect! And I agree. Everything is perfect. Hey. Thank you for reminding me what’s most important. I love you, mommy! She’s — she’s so… so…

[ Chuckles ] So beautiful. Michael:

I dreamed of this. Willow: Me too. And I am so glad that this is real and I can finally say what I’ve been wanting to say — wanting to say for months. But, um… and a part of me has known a lot longer than that. I love you, willow. I love you, too, michael. Willow: Yes, michael. Yes, with all my heart. I’ll marry you. Here. For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness, and in health. As long as we both shall live.

[ Sobbing ]

I want you to take this position, gregory. I do. And all you have to do is call your department chair, have a quick little chat, find out what you can take on and still be able to teach. That’s all? Just give it a try. That’s all I ask. How can I say no? Carly couldn’t say a lot ’cause donna was right there, but we don’t have the complete picture. But I’m sure that the doctors — there’s still something they can do for willow. Well, it’s really hard for me to have hope. Everything to do with me and my daughters is always the worst-case scenario, sonny. I was in a coma, for god’s sake, for most of their lives, and nelle was dead when I found out that she was mine. And now willow. Willow, that poor girl. Everything that she’s been through. She just had a baby. She — she has a child at home. She doesn’t deserve this. She’s a good person. She doesn’t deserve it. You know who deserves it? I do. I’ve done horrible things in my life. Maybe I brought this on my girls. Maybe it’s some cosmic payback. I don’t believe that. Everybody messes up. Everybody makes mistakes. I’ve — I’ve done plenty I’m not proud of. But… look — look where my life’s at. I have a good life, a good family, and a woman who loves me. Willow and everybody who loves her is being dealt a bad hand. But we’re not gonna give up on her. Hey. We’re not. I just want to be with willow. I want to be able to comfort her. I’m sure michael and her have a lot to talk about.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Nina. Good. You’re still here.

Liebchen. What’s happened? Is it willow? Thank you for stopping by. Thank you for hearing me out. Finn. Ava. What was that all about? I need to meet with you right away. What’s wrong? We have a huge problem. Ava stopped by to tell me that nikolas left town. Mommy, are you still sad? Oh, honey. I am sad. But being with you makes me feel better. Will this help, too?

[ Chuckles ] It sure does help. Helps a lot. I can’t bear to see my nina suffer like this. W-what are you gonna do? I was powerless to help my britta. But there is something I can do for willow. I need to speak with you. Oh, I’m sorry, dr. Obrecht. This isn’t a good time. Can you call my assistant and make an appointment? This is a matter of life and death. I understand my niece’s daughter needs a bone-marrow donor. Take me to get tested.

[ Knock on door ] Hey. Is it okay if we come back?

[ Monitor beeping ] We are still in this fight. There are new drug trials every single day. And, yes, you’re getting excellent care here, but there are entire facilities solely dedicated to cancer research. You’ll get cutting-edge treatment. I’m gonna make some calls and, uh — and figure out a way to transfer you to one of those facil– michael. Michael. I know there’s nothing you wouldn’t do for me. Yeah, I’d go to the ends of the world for you. I was thinking something less spectacular.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Name it. All I want… is for us to have a long-overdue conversation. About? Your life without me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

No, no. This isn’t real. You’re dead. Sure am. You bludgeoned me to death. It was an accident. An accident of passion. Then again, it’s always been like that between us. And it always will be. No! Go away!

[ Chuckles ] Oh, ava. I’m not going anywhere. Because what you and I have, this love between us, it’s forever. You’ll never be free of me. No!

[ Breathing heavily ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Exclaims ]

[ Screams ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

[ Rattling ] Hey. Oh, hey. Good morning, mom. I’m just checking in. Do you need anything? Honestly, all I need is to see the look on willow’s face — you know, her beautiful smile when I tell her how great her daughter’s doing. She hasn’t seen the baby yet? No, no. S-she’s been asleep since the c-section. And given everything that’s happened, she needs as much rest as she can get. What about you? You’ve been here all night. Why don’t you take a break? I could sit with her. Oh, thanks. I can’t leave. Not until willow’s opened her eyes. Finn:

Just sleep on it. Maybe it’ll be A… good reminder of everything you’d be giving up. I’m hoping you’ll realize what you’ll be losing, and you will choose to stop punishing yourself.

[ Knock on door ] -Laura, hi. -Hey. Sorry to disturb you so early. It’s okay. Come in. Come in. Thanks. Thanks. Have you heard from nikolas?

[ Knock on door ] Hey. Is this a bad time? You look busy. I’m always busy. Come in. Okay. What’s going on? Yeah. I, uh — I need some hypothetical legal advice. I’m not even a hypothetical lawyer. Okay. How about… some advice about the law from someone who’s good at it? Every word that you say, absolutely every word, will not — no confidentiality. I get the plot. Okay. What’s up? What kind of charges would someone be facing if they were an accessory to a felony? Asking for a friend.

[ Monitor beeping ]

[ Baby coos ] Is that her? Yeah. Ohh. Isn’t she beautiful?

[ Chuckles ] I remember when britta was born. She was vocal and disapproving from the start.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Baby cries ] And as beautiful as your granddaughter. What? Nothing. I just didn’t expect to see you here, aunt liesl. Of course I’m here. I had to see my grandniece. How is her mother? Um, she’s sleeping, I think. I haven’t really heard anything. Willow doesn’t want me near her. Will you visit willow after she awakens? Well, if she wants to see me, I will definitely be there in a second. But I made a promise to myself not to upset my daughter when she wakes up. Hey! Hey, willow. Hey. We’re all waiting for you here. You want to meet your daughter? You want to meet your daughter? She can’t wait to meet you.

[ Weakly ] Michael. Welcome back. Hi. Hi. I love you so much.

[ Smooch ] Willow? She’s awake. Our baby. Where — where is she? Michael, w-what’s happened? No. Willow, she — it’s fine. She — our baby’s fine. She is? Yeah. Perfect, in fact. Good. And very, very eager to meet her mom. Thank god. I need to see her. You will. Now. Michael, please. Bring me our baby.

How’s the newest member of the family doing? Is that why you are here? Or are you checking up on me? Well, you know, the — the kid may need a lawyer. It’s never too soon to start suing people. Thank you. You know, the hardest thing for me about memorials is, you know, everybody says all these nice things, and then — then they just go back to their lives. My britta is gone… but my heart rejoices for you. And I’m thrilled to meet my grandniece!

[ Cellphone chimes ] Hm! It’s sonny. Ohh. Willow’s awake. She’s awake! That’s wonderful! So…our son has a daughter. He does, and now that the baby’s here, willow can get the stem-cell transplant that she needs and this nightmare will finally be over. Babies are miracles. And can you believe our granddaughter’s gonna save willow’s life? That’s amazing. Okay. Our daughter is on the way. You’re sure she’s okay? Yes. Yes. Willow, she’s perfect.

[ Monitor beeping ]

[ Sighs ] I remember… they showed us our baby. And then they took her away to make sure she was okay. Yeah, you asked me to go with her. You called her our daughter. And then…

[ Sighs ] I don’t remember. Not exactly. Did something happen? Um, from what I was told… you started hemorrhaging and your heart stopped on the operating table. But you were there. No, I was — I was in the nicu with our daughter. But then you came back? No. Uh, willow, I wasn’t — I wasn’t in the O.R. When your heart stopped. They wouldn’t let me back in. I heard your voice, michael. I — and clear — as I’m hearing it right now. What? What did I say? You told me to come home. To come home and live. You said that, right? Yeah. Yeah, I did. I was in the waiting area, praying as hard as I could for you to come back. And I did. Yeah. You did. Someone I know made a really big mistake. But it’s over, you know, and I’m just — I’m worried now that confessing will ruin my friend’s life without really making anything better. So this crime is not ongoing? No. Murder? No. Accidental death? No. No one got hurt. I mean…not really. “Not really”? Mnh. So, was this friend a part of planning the crime? No, they sort of got roped into helping this person then chose to protect the person instead of going to the police. So then this person might be an accessory to a crime after the fact, which would be a misdemeanor at worst. Oh, well, that doesn’t sound so bad. Or a felony, depending on the details of the crime. Oh. No. Sorry. I haven’t spoken with nikolas since we had that argument at the hospital. Right. Yeah. Um, about that… I know you didn’t want to talk about it last night at curtis and portia’s party, but it was just so obvious that you were both shaken by it. I — are you okay? No. I’m not. I think my friendship with nikolas is over. Are you sure? After everything you’ve been to each other for all these years? Don’t you think it’s possible you just need a little time? Laura… I’m sorry. I know it’s — it’s really not my business, is it? Do you know what happened between spencer and nikolas? You’ll have to narrow it down. Spencer wants to sue for custody of nikolas and esme’s baby. What?! He said he found out something about nikolas, something that he thinks is unforgivable. Did spencer say what that was? No. He wouldn’t tell me. He said that he thought it was best that I didn’t know. But he insists that his father shouldn’t be allowed to raise the baby. How did nikolas react? I have never seen him so devastated. It was like he finally lost everything. Ava?

[ Gasps ] You okay? Yeah. Um… do you want to maybe focus on some breathing? Do, like, a little, you know, in and…

[ Breathes deeply ] Yeah. Good. Nikolas. He’s dead. Yes. He is. Ohh. He was gonna take avery, and I — I just wanted to stop him. And — [ Stammers ] I hit him with a statue, and he fell. Yeah. He did. And you. W-what are you doing here? How did you get in here? That you don’t remember? Okay, well, uh — you asked me to — to spend the night, keep an eye on you. Well, you scared me! I’m sorry. You just w-walk into my room like that! Ava, I heard you scream. I was worried about you. Get out! This is me checking — okay. But at some point, ava, w-we are gonna have to talk about what happens next. What happens next is you leave… and you forget you were ever here… and we never speak of this again. Okay. That — that would be — that works for me. But that wouldn’t work for you, ava. W-what are you gonna say when people notice that nikolas is missing? I’ll say that nikolas was here and we argued about wyndemere. He regretted giving me spoon island. He wanted it back. I refused, and then he stormed off, and I have no idea where he went after that. That’s good. That’s great. Because a good lie, you know, it manages to stay as close as possible to the truth. And where did you learn that? Oh, my family. And we talked about this. Families. My family. Your f– family. Well, thank you… for not turning me in. But I meant what I said. You should go and never look back. As far as I’m concerned, you were never here. If only it were that easy. What’s hard about it? My cousin mason. That’s what’s hard about it. Well, he’s the reason I stopped by here last night. Why? He’s after you, ava.

Mason’s a thug. Uh-huh. Do he really think that I would let him inside my house? I don’t know. I just — I-I came here just in case. Oh, god! What’s going on? Oh, I’m just — I’m thinking if — if mason had shown up instead of you. You are so right. I mean, if mason had caught a glimpse of you hiding nikolas’ body, he would own you for life. Well, I’m glad it was you that saw me. So am I. And you’re right. I’m — I’m gonna keep it really simple. Nikolas was here… and then he left… and I don’t know anything else. W-we don’t want the cops focusing on spoon island. Okay, so nikolas has a kid, right? Like, is that kid gonna be a problem? No, spencer won’t be a problem. But elizabeth might be. Right before I ran into nikolas, my mother came to see me. How did that go? Not well. So…you were angry already when you spoke to nikolas? Yeah.

[ Sighs ] Yeah. The truth is… I-I told nikolas what my parents did to me when I was a teenager, how they hurt me and betrayed me. He knew I was struggling because of it. Elizabeth… what did nikolas do? He — please. He, um… he just made it about himself. How? He made it seem like he was inconvenienced by my pain. So, yeah, the last time I saw him, I was angry. Aww. Well, I-I’m sorry he let you down. But I also feel sorry for nikolas because you’ve always been such a-a positive influence on his life. Not always. I’m not as perfect as you think I am. I’m worried my friend’s life will be torn apart just ’cause they thought they were doing the right thing. Alexis: Yeah. They weren’T. So, clearly, there’s a victim here. Was the victim aware of your friend’s involvement in this crime? I don’t think so. Okay. Not yet. What if they figure that out? If there’s any chance any of this can be figured out, your friend needs to get ahead of it and come forward voluntarily. Won’t they still go to prison? Probably. Here’s a thought. Would your friend consider testifying against the person that actually committed the crime in the first place? Oh! Can I — can I please just see her?

[ Gasps ] Hi, beautiful!

[ Laughs ] Oh, I know — I know willow’s waiting to see her. I just — hi. Go ahead. Carly: Ohh! Oh, my gosh. She’s so beautiful. And she’s smart. You think? Mm-hmm. Yeah. My mother let me and josslyn into the nicu to see her, and we didn’t hold her or anything, but we were blowing kisses and waving. And I swear she was looking right at me.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, michael! This is her!

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Yeah, it sure is.

[ Monitor beeping ] Hi. Willow: Oh. She’s — she’s so… so…

[ Chuckles ] So beautiful.

More onyour mind than just nikolas, so, you know, whatever it is, you know I’m here for you, right? I know. But unfortunately, I’ve come to realize that my friendship with nikolas is bad for both of us. I’m sorry. I’m really sorry it’s come to that. But you have to do what’s best for you. And nikolas is spiraling. I’m very, very worried about him. But saving nikolas from himself is not your responsibility. It’s not yours, either. I’m his mother. I’ll never give up on him. I’m not sure if my friend would testify. Well, I think maybe you should try and convince them. I…could try. You know, cooperating with the prosecution can go a long way. It could reduce your friend’s sentence. “Reduced,” as in no jail time? I don’t know. I don’t know the details of this case. I don’t want to know. Got it. Hey. Thanks for the friendly advice. You’re welcome. Have your friend call diane or martin grey, someone that they can give the details to, because your friend is on a slippery slope. Yeah, that’s what I was afraid of.

[ Knock on door ] Come in! Good morning, alexis. And good morning to you, too, son. What a nice surprise. Good to see you, dad. I’m on my way out the door.

[ Exhales sharply ] Did I interrupt something important? Go on in. I-I will, in a minute. I know you’re dying to. I am. But, you know, michael and willow deserve a little time with their daughter before I bust in the room. This reminds me of the first time we saw donna. Yeah. Me too. Gosh, we thought that spina bifida was gonna limit donna’s life somehow, that she was gonna grow up with extra struggles. But she’s perfect.

[ Chuckles ] She is perfect. We’re so lucky. Yes, we are.

[ Baby cooing ]

[ Laughter ] So cute. Wiley is going to be so excited to meet his little sister. Well, you know, no pressure, but before our kids can be introduced to each other, I think our daughter…

[ Baby crying ] I think our daughter… needs a name. That’s right. We never did settle on one, did we? I-I guess as I got sicker, we just stopped talking about it. Yeah, we’ve kind of had other… other things on our mind. But, you know, re we are. And we have to give our daughter a name that is not annabelle the third or ahsoka.

[ Laughs ] Actually… I knew her name the moment I saw her. I’m so happy for michael. He was denied this chance with wiley. I hate to think of all the pain that michael had to go through. Because of nelle. Nina’s daughter. Who nina never knew. Let me take this.

[ Cellphone rings ] Hello? I know every cell in your body is aching to go to your daughter. Yeah. It’s torture. But it’s what willow wants. For now. Perhaps someday. And soon. I hope so. It’s not right that carly gets to share in this moment with michael and willow. Please, aunt liesl. Just don’T. That woman is no better than you or I. S belovedwhile we are shun she is forgiven her transgressions while you are considered the transgressor. That is unacceptable. Oh, how I would love to dig carly’s skeletons out of the closet and into the light. Okay. Okay. Come to think of it… there is something that carly’s trying desperately to hide. Tell me more. Austin: So nikolas was holding esme prince captive — in a tower, no less. And elizabeth was helping him? Wow. Didn’t know she had it in her. Still waters, with that one. Still, I don’t get it. I don’t — I don’t see how elizabeth is a threat. I mean, if she were helping nikolas, wouldn’t it be in her best interest to just keep quiet about all this? Of course it is! But elizabeth’s “conscience” tends to flare up at the most inopportune moments. So if her guilt sends her to the cops, spoon island is gonna be swarming with police, and they could find the body! We need a plan. Not “we.” Just me. This — this is — it’s my problem. Ava, the second I saw you hiding a dead body, your problems became my problems. That’s noble of you. But, really, nobody would ever have any idea that we had any relationship beyond doctor and patient. No one will ever know that you were even here.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Hi, ava. Are you okay? Yes. H-hi. You just weren’t the person that I, um — I expected. Come on in. Let me guess. Were you expecting my son? Oh. No. No. Uh, definitely not. Then, ava, please tell me. What happened with nikolas last night? It’s not like finn to just rush out without so much as a “hello.” He had a lot on his mind. Uh-huh. What a nice way of telling me to butt out. I like your shorthand. So how’s your day going? I have to admit — the editorial meeting any new developments on the hook case since britt westbourne was killed? No, which is why we have to keep pressure on the pcpd so they can find the lunatic. How are you gonna do that? I’m not sure. You free for an early lunch? We can do a little brainstorming. Don’t you have classes this morning? You were saying about carly and drew cain? No, that’s it. That’s it. That’s it? There must be more. Well — [ Sighs ] I don’t know. I saw drew hugging carly, comforting her by willow’s room, and I wouldn’t have thought anything about it, but it was really clear that they’re trying to keep their relationship a secret. What is there to hide? They have a history of friendship. Even I know that. And until recently, I couldn’t have cared less about either of them. No one would be surprised if it evolved into more, so why would it matter if it had? I have no idea. Well, then… perhaps you should find out. What makes you think that I-I saw nikolas last night? He and spencer had a horrible argument last night. And nikolas seems to think that you have sided with spencer against him? And then he stormed out, and I just assumed that he would come here. Hmm. Well, you’re right. He did. He — he barged in here like he still owned the place. And he went on and on about how it belongs in the family. In the end, we both said things that we will never be able to take back, so it’s really just as well that we’re divorced and he is out of my life. I don’t see how that’s possible, ava. Well, not if you’re helping spencer to blackmail him.

Can I please come in? Well, let’s see. Uh… 14 minutes and 12 seconds. You owe me 20 bucks. Oh, barely. Oh, did you guys make a bet, saying how long it would take for me to come in here? Yeah. I’m surprised you waited this long. Oh, you guys are terrible! How are you feeling? Never been happier now that amelia is here. Amelia? Amelia grace. Well, let’s make it official then, huh? Mom, meet your granddaughter, amelia grace corinthos. Ohh! That’s perfect! It’s perfect! Hi, amelia. Hello. Hey! Sonny: Hey. Did you get to hold the baby? No, no. It’s okay, though, ’cause, you know, uh, I saw her on the way in. Oh, well, this is the first time without a glass between you, though. Yeah, that’s true, but I got to say hi.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Willow and michael, they must be thrilled.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh. From michael. No, actually, it’s from willow sending a text from michael’s phone. Oh. You ready to look at this? What? What?

[ Chuckles ] Our new granddaughter has a name. Amelia. Amelia. Amelia grace.

[ Both chuckle ] I don’t have a class today. Oh, it’s kind of hard to tell sometimes when you do and when you don’T. What are you getting at? It’s just interesting that you don’t really talk about your classes much. Of course I do. Don’t I? I mean, most professors love to talk about their classes — the interesting conversations, the offbeat questions from their students, and how they inspire them. Well, here’s an offbeat question for you. What’s your point? Just maybe you are not as invested in teaching as you used to be. Because I don’t talk to you about my classes? No, seriously. It’s possible you’re just over it and you’re ready for a change. You of all people can’t condone what nikolas did. You know, I probably wouldn’t if I knew what it was. But you and spencer are holding that over his head, aren’t you? Look, I — I know my son treated you badly, but do you think it’s a good strategy to respond in kind? If the two of you keep tearing into each other, ava, how will that end? I can’t let you take her. Don’t worry. I’ll tell avery you said goodbye. I didn’t want this. No, of course you didn’T. But, ava, I am worried about my son now. He’s lost you, apparently he’s had a terrible falling-out with elizabeth, too. I am afraid that spencer’s threat to take away his child is going to be the last straw. You know, whatever secret you shared with spencer, he lorded it over his father last night. Nikolas felt so betrayed. He was so angry. I just… I feel like something horrible is gonna happen now. I feel like… I feel like I’m gonna lose my son for good. Dr. Obrecht. Dr. Finn. I know we haven’t always seen eye to eye, but I just want to offer my condolences about britt. She was a good one. You have my thanks… for your absence at my britta’s memorial. At least you’re not a hypocrite like so many others at this hospital, only giving britta her due

after she’s gone. You’re welcome. Since you are feeling so generous today… perhaps you’ll do something about your friend elizabeth. Hi. Come in. Hey. Okay. -Thank you for coming. -Sure. You know, you call, I come. We are family. Yes. We are. I’m so glad you’re part of the boys’ lives. Okay, elizabeth, I’m gonna cut right to the chase here. You call me up, you sound a little funny on the phone, and you say you want to see me in a “professional capacity.” Now you’re telling me that you’re happy that I’m a part of the boys’ lives. So what gives? I’m in trouble.

Why do you feel like you’ll lose nikolas?

[ Chuckles ] Well, for starters, there’s nothing to stop him from throwing in with victor now. Well, I can tell you one thing. Nikolas hates what’s become of his life. He doesn’t think there’s anything left for him here in port charles. But for what it’s worth, I-I don’t think that he’ll throw in with victor. I hope you’re right. I just wish he’d return my calls.

[ Breathes deeply ] But then I suppose I’ll hear from him eventually. He probably just needs a little time to lick his wounds. I’m probably overreacting. Well, you — you’re reacting as — as any mother would. I think it’s really great that willow sent you this. She’s adorable. I think it’s a good sign. Yeah? But it’s not the real thing. You’re right. Yeah. It’s not. Oh, you are so beautiful, amelia grace. You are.

[ Laughs ] Hey, you know, I think — I think some peace and quiet might do the baby some good. Okay. Okay. Yeah. I know what you’re trying to do. Huh? Yes, I’m tired, but I don’t want to take my eyes off of our daughter. You have the rest of your life to look at her. You do. You can rest, you know? When you put it that way…

[ Baby cooing ] Is there a chance that you’re no longer interested in teaching?

[ Scoffs ] This again? We already talked about me becoming a journalist. But this time I’m not just talking. I’m offering you a job. Ava, do me a favor. If you hear from my son, text me. Yes. Absolutely. But to be honest, I-I don’t think he’s gonna contact me. He made it pretty clear that he never wants to see me again, which, you know, frankly, it’s probably for the best because all we seem to do these days is — is hurt each other. Well, I wish it could have gone differently. So do I. More than anything. Bye, ava. And what exactly do you think I need to “do” about elizabeth? I have just lost my daughter. But is my scotty here with me? Obviously, he is not, because elizabeth called with yet another life crisis she is ill-equipped to handle. And since my scott is both blessed and cursed with an excessively kind heart, he ran to her aid. Why? What does elizabeth want with scott? What kind of trouble? I’m not exactly sure. Wait a minute. You tell me you need a lawyer, but you don’t know why? No. I — [ Groans ] I know what I did. I just don’t know how bad it is, legally speaking. Elizabeth, I will help you in any way possible. So spit it out. I committed a crime. Actually, several crimes. Ohh. Um… she’s — she’s — michael: Austin. Hey. Is there any news on that stem-cell harvesting? Dr. Randolph should be on her way. Okay, then. Um… can we wait for dr. Randolph in here? Sure. Okay. I-I guess that they’ve harvested the stem cells? And — and she’s gonna get the transplant, right, sonny? And this whole ordeal is gonna be over. She’s gonna live a long, healthy life. Yeah, and hopefully I’ll be part of that life. So, is there any news? There is, but we should wait. Willow: I’m awake. Dr. Gatlin-holt. Have you met amelia? I — I have, but I wasn’t aware that you named her. Such a beautiful name for such a beautiful girl. Thank you. I miss her already. You know, you should, uh, get some rest. Why don’t you get some shut-eye, okay, we’ll wake you when dr. Randolph gets here? Or we could just cut to the chase. Have the stem cells been harvested? I’m ready to move forward right away. I want to get treated and then get out of this hospital as soon as possible. My children… …need me. Austin? Is there something wrong?

[ Dramatic music ]

Taylor: Brooke, I– I don’t know what to say.

Brooke: Just say yes. You shouldn’t be alone right now and I promised I’d be here for you. So just say you’ll move in with me.

Finn: Nothing like a– a hot tub at night to help clear your head.

Steffy: You are so right. Oh. Oh, god. Again? It does feel good.

Finn: Mm-hmm.

Steffy: You know what else feels good?

Finn: Hm?

Steffy: Getting that call from– from brooke regarding my mom. It’s really nice to know that brooke’s there for her.

Finn: Yeah, I mean, we all are. Taylor’s gonna be okay.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: My brother, on the other hand, I don’t know. I do not.

Finn: Steff, thomas is always gonna be a constant worry in your life.

Steffy: Yeah, I know. I know. I just hate that he made that call to cps and I– I understand why hope wants nothing to do with him. But thomas is douglas’ father and I know he really misses his son.

Thomas: Well, that is pretty amazing, bud.

Douglas: Thanks.

Thomas: Okay, um, I guess– I guess that’s about time.

Douglas: Are you leaving?

Thomas: Uh, yeah. You know, it’s getting late and you need to start getting ready for bed and everything, so.

Thomas: Uh, you know what? Actually, I think that in the car, you left your basketball. You wanna go grab it? Um, thanks for the visit. The, uh, supervised visit.

Liam: Can you blame us?

Thomas: Okay, look, I, um, I do have something I need to talk to you guys about.

Hope: Okay?

Thomas: I don’t– I don’t really have much right now. I don’t have my family, um, I don’t have my work, and I don’t have my son and um… I need my son. Um, so, that is why I had these drawn up.

Brooke: Come on, taylor, just say yes.

Taylor: Let’s say– let’s just say that we’re living together, we’re having so much fun, and then ridge comes back. What would– what would I do? I would just move back here, right?

Brooke: Uh… I hadn’t really thought about that.

Taylor: No, but, I mean, you still love him.

Brooke: Yeah, but you do too. So, I could ask you the same thing. If ridge does come back, would you prefer to be here waiting for him?

Steffy: Thomas worked so hard to prove to everyone the kind of father he could be.

Finn: Yeah, and it worked. I mean, he even got hope to support douglas staying at eric’s so they could spend more time together.

Steffy: The way douglas would look at thomas, like he was larger than life. He was his superhero. After everything that happened, I mean, the pain thomas has caused, forcing douglas to lie, I fear he may never be able to look at his father the same way again.

Hope: What are those?

Thomas: You said we’re gonna have to make difficult decisions as far as douglas is concerned, and I agree. But look, you won’t even let me spend the night with my son, you’re dictating when I can and can’t see him and I can’t take it.

Hope: That’s because you don’t even have a house right now, thomas.

Thomas: I have money, I can buy a house.

Liam: That’s not really the point, thomas–

Thomas: Liam, look, I really– I do appreciate everything you’ve done for douglas. It’s something I can never repay, but this is between his mother and me. I’ve been very good about sharing my son with you, but this has to be more fair and that’s why I had these papers drawn up. It can be handled as early as tomorrow.

Hope: Is this… is this serious? You’re proposing letting douglas decide where he wants to live? Unless you treat dandruff regularly,

Taylor: No, brooke, I am not waiting for ridge to come back. Neither one of us are putting our lives on hold for him ever again.

Brooke: But what if he were to come back clearly knowing what he wants.

Taylor: Ugh, what he wants. I’m so over that. But you know what, I do think he’s gonna come back. To you.

Brooke: What?

Taylor: Yeah, I mean, if you’ll have him, I do. You know, destiny and all.

Brooke: You said the d word. Destiny. You know, there was a time when that’s all I thought about. That’s all I wanted. But not anymore. I don’t want to be chosen. I want to do the choosing. And right now, I am choosing to be the best friend possible for you.

Finn: I’m sure thomas misses his son, but douglas living with liam and hope is for the best. At least for now.

Steffy: Yeah, you’re right. I think what douglas needs is stability, parents he can trust.

Finn: And thomas is gonna have to work really hard to be that for him again.

Steffy: I don’t know. He may never get that back with douglas. I know it’s breaking his heart, but despite everything, thomas loves his son and he wants to play a role in his life.

Thomas: Had my attorney draw up these documents. I mean, they’re pretty cut and dry. Douglas can chart his own destiny.

Hope: Douglas is a child. I mean, do you really think that he can handle this kind of monumental decision?

Thomas: Of course he can. Douglas is way ahead for his age. He’s such a smart kid and I really do think this is the most fair thing. For him to decide his own future.

Liam: Hey!

Thomas: Hey, bud.

Douglas: What’s going on?

Thomas: Well, we were just talking about, um, something. Look, douglas, I know things have been kind of weird lately. I really want you to know that I love you and I miss you so much. We were just talking about, um, how maybe I could get to see you a lot more here soon. Um, your mom and I have some plans and we’ll fill you in later. Okay. I’ll see you soon, bud.

Douglas: Bye, dad.

Thomas: Bye.

Hope: Hey, you all right?

Douglas: Yeah.

Hope: Yeah? Was it at least nice to see your dad?

Douglas: It was okay.

Hope: Look, sweetie, I know this has been really tough on you lately with all the back and forth. I mean, one moment you’re at your great granddad’s with your father and the next–

Douglas: I’m back here.

Hope: Yeah. Here, give me your hands. Douglas, I don’t ever want you to feel like you’re lost in the shuffle and like you aren’t being heard. So, I think it’s time we have a bit of a discussion about a way to make your living situation a little more permanent. One prilosec otc each morning blocks

Brooke: I think we have to make another pact. I mean, I’m sure the time will come when there’s another man in your life and in my life and we need to agree that it’s not gonna be the same man.

Taylor: Yes, but I don’t think that’s gonna happen for a while.

Brooke: Yeah. No, I don’t either.

[ Knocking on door ]

Steffy: Hold on.

Thomas: Steffy, hey.

Steffy: What? Whoa, hey. What are you–

Thomas: Hey.

Finn: Hey, thomas.

Steffy: The kids are sleeping. It’s late.

Thomas: Yeah, uh, I’m sorry if I’m intruding.

Steffy: Uh-uh, if?

Thomas: Yeah, look, um, will you be my witness tomorrow?

Steffy: What?

Thomas: I just proposed the idea, um, that douglas gets to choose who he lives with. And we’ll meet in front of a judge tomorrow.

Hope: All right, bud. Now, I know you said you had just an okay time with your dad tonight, but did you at least have a little bit of fun?

Douglas: I did.

Hope: Good.

Liam: Hey, um, you– you get why things have been a little weird lately, right?

Douglas: Yeah. Dad wanted me to lie about what he did to grandma brooke.

Hope: And you know you can always talk to us about how that made you feel.

Douglas: Makes me sad.

Hope: Oh, sweetie. I’m so sorry you feel that way. I mean, that is such– such a tough scenario to be in. So, it makes sense that you might feel that way, but I mean, you know, we think you are just the greatest and you bring so much humor and laughter and joy into our lives, into our family. And we love you. So, so, so very much.

Liam: So much.

Hope: You get that, right? All right. So, it’s time for the talk now. Come here, give me your hands. Knowing how much we love and adore you, you know that you can be honest with us, no matter what. You’re not going to hurt our feelings.

Liam: That’s right.

Hope: So, if there was a scenario, where in your heart of hearts, and you listen to it real hard, you got to decide between living with your father and living here with us, what do you think your heart would tell you?

Douglas: I would rather live here with you.

Hope: Sweetie, come here. Okay. We’re gonna work this out, okay? We’re gonna work it out. Having diabetes can raise a lot of questions. Just anybody’s face. That person has to be special.

Taylor: Yeah, I feel very special. Oh, brooke. Do you think you’ll ever put your faith in a man again?

Brooke: Mm, I don’t know. I don’t know what the future holds and that used to scare me. Not knowing who was going to be there for me and love me, kiss me, hold me. But I’m not afraid of that anymore.

Taylor: That’s good. I’m not either.

Brooke: I think we need to add to our pact.

Taylor: The pact about not being with the same man?

Brooke: That pact, yeah.

Taylor: Okay.

Brooke: I just think that we need to be good role models for our daughters. Continue to be, you know? They shouldn’t be rivals.

Taylor: No, no, the cycle– the cycle stops.

Brooke: Good.

Taylor: God, brooke I am still just– I’m blown away with your invitation for me to– to live with you. I’m just gonna need some time to think about it, okay?

Brooke: Of course.

Taylor: And I know– I know that you’re worried about being here, but, you know, I– I’m alone, but I’m not lonely. How could I be? I have you and your friendship and it is… it is helping me through one of the most difficult times of my life. My friend, brooke.

Brooke: My friend, taylor.

Taylor: I’m never gonna get sick of that.

[ Both laughing ]

Steffy: You’re gonna let douglas choose where he wants to live?

Thomas: Yes. With me or with hope and liam.

Finn: You think, after everything that just happened, that’s the best decision?

Thomas: All right, look, I’ve made mistakes, all right? But my son and I have a bond and that’s not gonna be broken by–

Steffy: Thomas.

Thomas: Some little phone call.

Finn: Thomas, I don’t think you understand how much that cps call affected douglas.

Thomas: Okay, I’m not here to ask for permission or anything. I just want to know if my sister is gonna have my back.

Steffy: Okay. Okay, I will, uh, I’ll be your witness. But I’m worried. I hate to say it, but, um, just be prepared to be let down. You might lose complete custody of your son tomorrow.

Liam: He’ll be asleep any minute.

Hope: I mean, honey, this– this is unbelievable. I mean, you heard douglas. He wants to live here with us and thomas is basically just giving him to us, full custody.

Liam: Uh, yeah, maybe. I mean, I’m sure thomas has some trick up his sleeve, no?

Hope: Well, I thought that too, but this is– this is really straightforward. I mean, tomorrow in the judge’s chambers, douglas can declare who he wants to be his guardian and it’s legally binding. I mean, that could be it. No more jumping through thomas’s hoops.

Liam: Well, yeah, ’cause how many times did you, you know, give him a chance to get his stuff together, right? How many times did you go to bat for him?

Hope: I gave him way too many chances and I was wrong. Which just goes to show that douglas should be as far away from him as possible, at least until thomas actually gets the help that he needs.

Liam: O– obviously, I couldn’t agree more. I’m just, I’m still just a little wary. It– yeah, no, it seems really straightforward, but–

Hope: Well, we can have our attorney looking over, but, liam, I mean, this– this changes everything and it makes me so happy for douglas. I mean, we can make his wish come true. He can have that stable, loving home where he feels protected and he feels safe and secure. I mean this… these papers change everything. Tomorrow… tomorrow, douglas could be ours.

[ Dramatic music ]

Steffy: I can’t believe my mother shooting bill is front and center in our lives again. It should’ve been behind us. But because of sheila and this bizarre hold she has on him, my mom is talking about turning herself in.

Finn: I mean, that’s insane. And it can’t happen.

Steffy: No, it can’T. Brooke needs to make my mom realize that.

Brooke: Taylor! Taylor!

[ Brooke gasping ] Taylor!

[ Sheila sighing ]

[ Knocking on door ]

Deacon: Your order from il giardino.

Sheila: What are you doing? I– I didn’t expect the owner to deliver personally.

Deacon: Hey, look, bill’s got a horsie. Come on, will you relax, all right? That’s why I wore this getup. Trust me, I know bill’s got cameras everywhere. Besides, I thought this was a good excuse to check out your new digs.

Sheila: Not bad, huh?

Deacon: Beats the hell out of a prison cell, that’s for sure.

Sheila: Yeah, well, I’m never gonna see the inside of a prison cell again. This is… it. This is my permanent address. I’m– I’m happy to see you, though. Can you stay just a– a little while?

Deacon: You tryin’ to say you miss me?

Sheila: Yeah, a little. When I think about it.

Deacon: I miss you, too. A lot. So, where’s bill?

Sheila: He’s at the office. He had a– a long overseas conference call, so… let’s just stay. I’ll show you my new life.

Deacon: Captive audience.

Deacon: Well, I gotta admit, bill’s mansion does suit you a lot better than my crappy little apartment.

Sheila: Yeah, well, I’ve always been able to adjust quickly, and bill has made the transition very easy. I mean, he is– he’s kind, he’s generous, he’s loving, and– okay, I’m sorry, I get a little carried away sometimes. Look, I– I’ve got enough for two, why don’t– why don’t you stay and join me?

Deacon: Yeah, I think I lost my appetite. That’s kind of what happens when you think about you and spencer together.

Steffy: Once again, sheila is the root of all evil. I mean, could you imagine what life would be like without sheila? I know. We’d be living such carefree lives.

Finn: I’m just… I’m always gonna feel terrible about introducing–

Steffy: Hey. Hey. It is not your fault. She crashed our wedding. You had no idea your birth mother was even alive.

Finn: Well, she sure knew about me.

Steffy: Babe, stop. Stop blaming yourself. Look, I just don’t want my mom to lose her freedom. Because what? Sheila got in bill’s head somehow? I am just counting on brooke to get through to her.

Brooke: Taylor?

Taylor: This all has

to end. Now!

Brooke: Taylor. Taylor! Wake up! Wake up! Taylor! Oh, my god. Oh.

[ Taylor screaming ]

Taylor: Oh my god, brooke! What are you doing? What are you doing?

[ Coughing/sneezing ]

[ Door knocking ]

Deacon: I’m sorry, I just threw up a little in my mouth every time I think of you and spencer together.

Sheila: Yeah. Well, here, that’ll help wash it down. Deacon, he– he really is an amazing man.

Deacon: Please.

Sheila: No, I know what I’m talking about. You see, I see a side of bill that he doesn’t show to the rest of the world, a– a side that is… it’s kind. And loving, and gentle, and open.

Deacon: We are talking about the same guy, right?

Sheila: Yes, we are. Look, he’s different with me, I’m– we– we have complete trust in one another. We both feel safe showing our vulnerabilities.

Deacon: Sounds like the two of you have covered a lot of distance in a short amount of time.

Sheila: We have an amazing connection, and it’s been like that from the start. And bill doesn’t hesitate to admit that he’s never been with a woman like me.

Deacon: Can’t believe I’m about to say this, but apparently bill and i agree on something. ‘Cause honey, there ain’t nobody like you.

[ Sheila laughing ]

Steffy: My mother and sheila are nothing alike.

Finn: Of course not.

Steffy: But ever since bill started using the shooting as blackmail to free sheila, it’s been stirring up so much guilt in my mom. All the emotion she worked through after it happened, it’s all back on the surface.

Finn: Well, that’s one of the many ways that taylor is not like sheila. She is a good person with a conscience.

Steffy: It’s eating away at her. My mom is in so much pain right now, and it really scares me, what she might do to make it stop.

Taylor: My god, brooke, what are you doing?

Brooke: All right. Okay. Look get up. I need you–

Taylor: Get up?

Brooke: Yes, get up. Let’s stand up. Let’s walk this off.

Taylor: Why do we have to walk it off?

Brooke: What do you think you’re doing? There are people out there who love you. Your friends, your family. Me. You have an incredible career, you have clients who adore you. You can’t just throw it all away!

Taylor: What are you talking about?

Brooke: I saw that pill bottle out there, and I saw that note you left saying you were going to end it all.

Taylor: Brooke, the pills are supplements for sleep. I take them when I can’t relax.

Brooke: Uh-huh. Yeah. Supplements.

Taylor: Yes!

Brooke: Okay, what about that note? Saying you were going to “end it?”

Taylor: Oh my god, brooke. End– end this whole nightmare, with bill and sheila. I– confess!

Brooke: Okay. So you weren’t really going to…

Taylor: Oh, brooke. No. No.

Brooke: Oh!

Taylor: No.

Brooke: Oh, thank god.

Taylor: You know, thanks for– thanks for the water in my face.

Brooke: No, I–

[ Taylor laughing ]

Brooke: Oh, god, I’m sorry. I– I’m so sorry.

Taylor: All right, it’s okay. It’s okay, you were just worried. And you have no idea how much that means to me. Come here. Sorry, too.

Brooke: It’s okay. You scared me.

Taylor: I–

restless nights fogging

up your day?

Sheila: I’m glad to hear you still think I’m an original.

Deacon: What? Are you kidding me? You’re the original original. You got nine lives, one for each toe.

[ Sheila laughing ] And I will not second guess you again, I promise. Except when it comes to matters of the heart.

Sheila: Oh, you know what? You didn’t seem to have a problem with that when I was choosing you.

Deacon: Yeah, I mean, take a look at all this.

[ Both laughing ]

Sheila: Ah, yeah. I remember it very well.

Deacon: Mmm. Yeah, and now you’re in insta-love with bill spencer. Biggest, most pompous idiot on the planet.

Sheila: Mm-mmm, you’re letting your jealousy show.

Deacon: I’m not jeal– what the hell do I have to be jealous about?

Sheila: Oh, well, let me– let me count the ways, let’s see. Bill is rich. Really, really, rich. And he’s powerful.

Deacon: Okay, well, it doesn’t make him a good person. Yeah, and it’s– it’s actually the exact opposite. He uses his money as a license to be an obnoxious bully.

Sheila: Oh, well, you know what? He bullied me right out of prison. So, I see that as a plus in my eyes, and my god, have you seen the man? He’s gorgeous. He– he is sexy as all hell, and he is mine. All mine.

Deacon: Is this your idea of a good time, flaunting your relationship with that loser right in my face?

Sheila: I didn’t know you cared.

Deacon: Yeah, I do.

Sheila: Then you should be happy for me. I mean, isn’t that what– what buddies do? I mean, when someone has fallen into good fortune? Look at me, deacon, look– look at where I’m at, look at my life now.

Deacon: Yeah, it seems like you definitely hit the jackpot in some ways. Not living in a prison cell, or my dinky little apartment above a restaurant.

Sheila: Oh, no. No, no, no, don’t ever talk about your place like that. That– that’ll always be a special spot for me.

Deacon: Sure it will.

Sheila: I mean it. You gave me a– a safe place to stay when I needed it. Hell, we had a lot of fun together there. We made memories that– that I’m never gonna forget.

Deacon: I just– I just wish things could have been different between us.

Steffy: Oh, god, this is taking so long. Maybe I should call my mom, or– or– or brooke.

Finn: No, no, no. Hey, hey. I don’t think you should interrupt. Look, you trust brooke to handle this, right?

Steffy: I mean, I guess I should. It just feels weird trusting her, especially when it comes to my mom.

Finn: I know you’re worried, just give brooke some time. Okay?

Steffy: It’s just so hard. I hate waiting.

Finn: Mmm. Tell me something I don’t know.

Steffy: About me? Does such a thing even exist?

Finn: Are you kidding me? I learn something new about you every day.

[ Steffy laughing ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Steffy: Oh! It’s brooke. Hi.

Brooke: I’m at your mom’s, and everything is fine. She’s okay. She didn’t go to the police.

Steffy: Oh! Thank god.

Brooke: Yeah. But, I’m gonna hang out to make sure that it stays that way.

Steffy: Okay, yeah.

Thank you. Thank you so much. Are– are you sure you don’t need me to go there?

Brooke: No, just spend some time with your husband.

Taylor: Listen to brooke! I’m fine.

Steffy: Thanks again. And– and call me if you need anything.

Brooke: Will do.

Steffy: Oh, my mom is all right. Oh, my gosh.

Taylor: Thank you for not telling steffy what you thought you walked in on.

Brooke: Oh gosh, I am so sorry for misreading the situation.

Taylor: Mmm, it was a fair assumption. I’ve been a mess lately.

Brooke: Yes, you have been.

Taylor: You know, you don’t have to agree.

Brooke: I am just being honest with you! And quite honestly, I am worried about you being here alone. Laying all this shame and guilt on yourself. I have the perfect solution.

Taylor: Really? What’s that?

Brooke: Move in with me.

Sheila: God, what’s– what’s happening here? Are you– you gettin’ all sentimental?

Deacon: I don’t know, I mean, you and I were good together. Who knows what would’ve happened if dollar bill didn’t raise his ugly goateed face.

Sheila: We’d be talking between bars, that’s what. I’d be in prison if it weren’t for bill.

Deacon: And now you’re totally devoted to him, yeah. I heard it before. Again, loud and clear.

Sheila: Well, how could I not be? He– he has changed my life, deacon.

Deacon: All right, look. I’m talking as a friend now. Have you ever asked yourself what’s in it for him?

Sheila: Um, me. A woman that’s not gonna try to change him, a– a woman who isn’t gonna leave.

Deacon: He’s not trustworthy. I just hope by the time you figure it out, I’ll still be a place where you can land. Sheila, just don’t– don’t give him your heart, okay? He doesn’t deserve it.

Sheila: What if it’s already too late?

Deacon: Well, then I guess at least get him to spring for a new toe.

[ Sheila laughing ]

Sheila: Oh, I miss you.

Finn: Did brooke set your mind at ease about your mom?

Steffy: For now.

Finn: I– I get how hard it is for you to watch your mom suffer.

Steffy: I love my mom so much. And I hate to see her question her own morality.

Finn: Whatever taylor needs, we got her. Okay, steff?

Steffy: I am so grateful for you. Your constant love and support. How did I get so lucky? Because I could not imagine doing this without you.

Brooke: I’m totally serious. Just move in with me.

Taylor: Uh, thank you, uh, but I– I just, I– I– I couldn’T.

Brooke: Why not?

Taylor: Well, for starters, you– you have your own life. You have, uh, hope and liam and the kids down at the cabin and I don’t want you to worry about me.

Brooke: Well, I have to admit, I am worried about you. Here, alone, trying to process all of this? Besides, you moving in with me would benefit me as well!

Taylor: Really.

Brooke: Yes!

Taylor: Okay, tell me how.

Brooke: Okay, well… it’s not like I’m out partying every night, you know? I– I go to work, I go home to this big empty house, and I don’t see hope and liam and the kids as much as I used to, or as much as I’d like to. So it’d be nice to have a roomie.

Taylor: Oh, my god, brooke, I, um… I– I don’t know what to say. Um…

Brooke: Well, you could always say yes. I mean, you don’t have to see me. You don’T. You’ll have your own place, your own room, your own separate entrance. You can come and go as you please. Just be nice to have somebody else rattling around in that big house!

Taylor: So, you would open your home up to me?

Brooke: We used to be rivals, but we’re not anymore. We’re friends. We’re good friends. And I really am worried about you. I mean, you’re going through a very emotionally challenging time right now. You’re second guessing yourself. Feeling so much guilt. Maybe you could just bounce things off of me. Or maybe we could share a dinner or two. I don’t know. I just think we’d have a lot of fun together.

Taylor: I know we would.

Brooke: So?

Taylor: I, um, I– I’m– I’m overwhelmed. I just… thank you. For your kindness. Really.

Brooke: I told you. I promised you I would always be there for you. And I meant it.

Taylor: I see that. Thank you. Thank you.

Brooke: ‘Kay, so does that mean you accept? Come on, taylor! Come on. I don’t want you to be alone. It would be good for you. For us. Just tell me you’re going to move in with me. Just tell me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Staffing. There you are. Everything. All right? Fine. Why I was expecting to see with the office today was supposed to be your first day Max Co. C e o. Hmm. About that. I’ve actually been having second thoughts. What do you mean? I don’t think I should be in the job. I don’t think you should either.

If you’re here to see your brother, he’s busy right now. I know. I know. You’re more than welcome to wait out here if you’d like till he’s finished. Don’t forget that you need to let me in there now.

Cric acid upsets my stomach. Great. You have nothing.

How much longer will I be subjected to this indignity? I have important work to do. Yeah, you wanna get outta here? I can make that happen when? Soon as you flip on your partners in crime,

you stupid idiot. You had one job at Keep Warhol Roll from coming to Salem. Calm down. Why would I calm down when I’m about to lose everything?

What you doing? What, okay. Looks like you’re having a beer in the middle of the afternoon. Yeah, you care to join me

like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

No, I’m not gonna join you, brother. I’m sober. You know that. I can respect that. I thought you were too.

I don’t even, oh, hey, hey, hey, hey. Come on. Blame me for being slightly concerned. I did just take a gun outta here hand, and I was trying to get Kristen to tell us where the OR was. I know. No judgements. I. I get it. It’s a look. It’s a horrific time for all of us right now. We could all use some support. All right.

There’s no shame in that. This is your way of trying to get me to go to a meeting. Brady, please. I’m fine. Nothing says fine, like solo day drinking, honey. I just lost my mom. I mean, can you blame me? Wanting to have a beer, trying to take the hedge?

Absolutely not.

I, I miss my so much, man. I, I, and she wasn’t even my, Hey, hey. She was your mom too.

No, no, no, no. You, she was, you’re absolutely right. She was, she was always just so. Helping us all through the hard stuff, you know? And now I, uh, how are we going, how are we going without a breathing? I know how we go on. We lean on each other and that’s the only way to go.

You are not sure we should be co CEOs, but just yesterday you broke out the champagne to toast to our future. Since then, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about Gabby and how badly we treated her.

You feeling? Brother, it sounded as if you were expressing sympathy for Gabriela Hernandez, ej. You and I teamed up to oust her from her job, a job that she was doing very successfully. So yeah, I think it was a mistake. I’m sorry. Are you saying you want to reinstall Gabby as CEO of Damer Enterprises? She’s a strong leader, smart, creative, incredibly driven.

What the hell is wrong with you? The last I heard you hated that woman with every fiber of your being. Yeah. Well, not anymore.

Gabby, your brother asked not to be interrupted. Well forget that I need to speak with Ralph immediately about how you had him perform a medical procedure on Stephan Damara against his will. Stefan doesn’t have any will, not of his own. Anyway, he was brainwashed. Damn it. Jada, please, I need to speak to, he needs to to deprogram Stephan before it’s too late.

This is an emergency.

I am not even sure where to begin with you. It’s just so damn much. Rolf. You know, first off, you hid Steph and Damira from the world for four years and then brought him back to life after which you brainwashed him. Meanwhile, Orpheus somehow managed to get his hands on a toxin. A toxin that killed. Kayla and Marlena.

Where the hell did he get that from? Oh wait. I know a lab. Know anyone who works in a lab, bro, I did everything in my power to save those women. You created the damn pathogen and, but I didn’t infect anyone. As soon as I heard those, remember here, I began going orchid, so I could formulate an antidote. Oh, right.

Yeah. Did you want him to be the hero? You know, hero, Ralph, you’re a coward. And the minute you knew we were closing in on you, you gave Kristen Damir, the York, and right before we busted into your lab, you had no reason to do that. I had nothing to hide. Oh yeah. That’s why you fled overseas, right? Because you’re innocent.

I think it’s a good time for you to start. This is gonna be your last chance to avoid life in prison. Who exactly do you expect me to implicate? All of your accomplices that committed crimes. Obviously there’s Kristin and then there’s uh, there’s the man that broke my sister’s heart, Lee Shin. Why don’t you start with him?

Stop telling me to calm down. Damn it. If we’re all flips, I’ll never get my job back or my wife, not to mention, spend the rest of my life in prison so you can go to hell for screwing this up.

Sounds to me like you could use a lawyer. Sorry. Oh my ears. They perk up whenever I hear anybody in need of an attorney. Hard to have a lawyer. Thank you. But not the best one because that would be me.

Ah, I see. This is personal for you.

Well, we both know that Lee pulled the plug on Stephan. Kristen hadn’t showed up when she did. He’d be dead. He already was dead. Oh, come on Roth. You of all people know better than that. You’re the one who took his twin brother’s heart and put it in Stephan’s chest and then after you stabilize them, you brainwashed ’em.

Cause that’s what Kristen and Lee wanted. I did not know what you’re talking the hell. You don’t. You know damn well what I’m talking about is you admitted everything to Gabby and then you shot her full of something that made her forget. Now, unfortunately, for you, all those memories came flooding back to her at her wedding.

If you know all of this already, what do you need me for? Because Gabby’s word is hearsay. It won’t hold up in court, so I need you to corroborate her. I cannot do that. As I said, I know nothing about any of this. You want to go back to states, Phil Roth. I guarantee you there will not be any pardons this time.

Uh, you offering me a deal, commissioner? Wow. That will be up to the da, but I can guarantee. Get trash on your side. You’re gonna need to give up information. Unleash in and all of his accomplices,

Sloane Peterson, Esquire, we haven’t met, but, uh, your reputation proceeds you, as does yours, Mr. Shin. I’ve read all your stories, keeping up with you in the tabloids arrested at your own wedding for brainwashing your bride’s undead husband only in Salem. The police have no evidence against me whatsoever. I gather from your phone call that could all change very soon.

If Ralph talks, which he has a great incentive to do, the DA will have more than enough to charge you. Hmm. Tell me something that I don’t know. I can tell you you’d be wise to. Why would you wanna represent someone who’s completely screwed? Why else money? You dig deep into those pockets of yours and I will make all of these charges against you.

Go away. I don’t suppose you handled divorces. You just got married. You already wanna call it quits. No, but I have no choice. What kind of attitude is that? It’s a realistic one. I don’t see any way of turning this around. Then I think it’s time that you think outside the box should you know how to do that right?

So I got into this mess in the first place and now I’m gonna get you out of it.

Okay? So you’re saying Dr. Rolf didn’t only did half the job. I need him to get out of there and finish deprogramming seven, or he could get stuck this way forever. Or he can have the procedure in a week or two and it’ll all be just fine. I can’t, I can’t take that risk. Don’t you see? Everything is on the line.

The life, the love, the future. I never thought I could have ch please ste. The love of my life and I need him back all the way back and he needs me to get him there. I was wondering where you disappeared to last night. When I came across Gabby, I thought you were hiding. I never imagined that she had hit me over the head dragged me to the basement so Rolf could deprogram me.

Steph, and I apologize. No need. You were obviously oblivious. Totally. Nicole and I were up here drinking the cocktails you poured to celebrate our.

Hope you enjoy your little drink, you J Cause after a few doses of this, you’re gonna start acting pretty strangely. In fact, your judgments gonna be so impaired that the Derion board will have no choice to remove you. I’m glad someone could enjoy. I think Nicole enjoyed a little bit too much. What do. She can hold her liquor like a champ, but those dreams stayed.

They really hit her hard. I still are hitting me hard and I have no idea why.

So wow. It’s Rachel, Rachel. Mad, confused, angry at Kristen? No, no, no, no. Chloe, yes, she, she blames Chloe for the reason her mom, you know, had to go away. So, uh, I’ve been trying to persuade her otherwise to no avail. And I’m sorry. How about you? Who are all the, uh, women in your life?

Jay and I are doing a great job of avoiding each other, Nicole and I working on it.

Is that what this is all about? What do you mean? Come on, man. I know that you still have feelings for Nicole and you probably always will.

How are you feeling? Do you need an aspirin? Nope, I’ve got some. Thank you. There really was, some have, yeah, and I, I can’t seem to shake it, you know, the headaches, the, the nausea, and I couldn’t even get out of bed till now, which doesn’t make any sense because I only had a mimosa and a glass of champagne.

I’m so sorry. Ma, are you sorry that you’re feeling this way? You know I’m gonna have cook, make you some tea and toast. Yes. All have been eating the last few days. The only thing I can keep down. Thank you, Ste. And then we will finish our conversation. Of course. Oh, uh, I, I didn’t mean to interrupt. Don’t worry about it.

You know, in addition to feeling like death warmed over, um, I still feel so embarrassed about throwing myself at you yesterday. As I told you before, there’s no reason to be. Yeah, I, I, I know we already talked about moving forward, but I understand if you wanna put the brakes.

Not at all. I’m very much looking forward to taking you on the proper dinner that I, uh, promised you. So I . But tonight you are not feeling very well, obviously, and I have a fire that I need to put out with Stephan. Ooh. A fire now. Mm-hmm. , that’s something I’m familiar with particularly. Dumpster variety.

What do you mean? I still have feelings for Nicole. It’s ridiculous. Is it We’re divorced? Yeah. What has it been like 25 years or something. And every time you guys split up, you find a way to get back to one another. Yeah. Well, not this time. Hey, just like I told Dad, you know what? And Cole and I are over.

We’re moving on. Yeah, I’ll bet Roman doesn’t even believe it either. Come on. You know what? Nobody believes me about me and the woman I’m now seeing. Right? I can live with that. Hold on, hold on. Hold the woman you’re now seeing. Mm-hmm. , you talking about that Sloan girl, isn’t that like a friends with benefits kind of situation here?

Mm-hmm. . It is, and it’s exactly what I want right now. Exactly what you want. Yeah. Mm-hmm. , right. Something shallow, something meaningless, without any messy feelings attached. You don’t like the feelings you have for Nicole. You’re not good. Ready? Just admit it. The only reason you’re fooling around with this Sloan is because you’re trying to prove to everybody, mostly yourself, that you’re still not pining away for the love of your life.

I admire your confidence, Ms. Peterson, but this all seems a little too good to be. You swooping outta nowhere, making promises you can’t possibly deliver on Try me. Okay. How are you going to persuade a woman who thinks I’m evil incarnate to stay married to me? Has your wife served you with divorce papers yet?

No. Then how eager can she really be to end your marriage? Sounds like she’s having second thoughts. She certainly pretended to stopped by my room yesterday. It gave me a whole song and dance about how she’s giving up on Stephan and thinks we should give our marriage a second shot. It’s all just a ruse to get her hands on my phone.

Your phone? Yeah. It’s a burner. She used it to find a number to reach out to Ralph. And why is that? The police station right now singing like a canary, so we prioritize, we deal with Ralph first and then we fight the. I can’t force Gabby to stay married to me . Sure you can. You just need the right attorney.

Write down everything you remember. More details are better, especially when it comes to Lee Shin. Hmm. Give me enough detail to put ’em away. You might just earn your Get outta jail free car. Pray. Listen to me. You gotta let go.

I have nothing to prove to anyone. Listen, I moved on Eric. If, if you don’t wanna be honest with me, that’s fine, but at least be honest with yourself.

Eric, I’m so sorry about your mother.

Oh my goodness. You know, Marlena was such a remarkable woman. One of my dearest friends, I can’t believe she’s gone. Gary is, oh, Gary is just heartbroken and poor Roman, his wife, his ex-wife, and his sister. He must be devastated. I came to pay my control. You’re sure. My dad would appreciate that, but he’s not, he’s not here right now.

All right, I’ll come back later then. But if you, in the meantime, if you need anything, anything at all, you just ask. Okay. I will. And the same goes for you, Ray. Oh, honey, you not only lost your, your stepmother, but all this mess with Chloe and Stephan is just seems to get crazier. What? What do you mean? Well, uh, you didn’t hear about last night.

No, I didn’t. What, what happened? Well, uh, Chloe came by the house yesterday to see Stephan, um, to tell him that they shouldn’t see each other anymore. Oh. And then she was explaining it all to me, and then the landline rang, which is funny. I couldn’t even find it at first. I didn’t know we still had a landline.

Anyway, it was a collect call from Vivian Alama who informed us that Gabby had Stephan held captive in the secret room in our basement. What? Chloe and I ran down there and found that the old VAT was telling the truth for once in her life. Gabby had Stephan tied up. And he was rigged to some machine that Dr.

Rolf was using to deprogram him. I would, Dr. Rolf was there. I thought he was Mia a Well, apparently Gabby tracked him down. You say what you will about that woman, but she knows how to get things done. Um, anyway, Stephan’s feelings for Gabby have been successfully rekindled. Hold on, hold on. This, are you, are you telling me that?

Stefan and Chloe are over. Uh, not exactly.

Wow. Stefan is in love with Gabby again. That definitely complicates things. Mm-hmm. , no kidding. The kids talking about me. Oh, I was just filling in Nicole on last night’s exciting events. Uh, I sh I still can’t believe I slept through. You were ill. I have no excuse. And how are you Stefan? What Ralph puts you through?

That’s pretty insane. Yeah. Well, I must admit, I got a little nervous when he said the word improvisation for the procedure, but, uh, pretty happy with the end result. You know, not that I should stick my nose in where it doesn’t belong, but you know, Brady and and Chloe are, are dear friends of mine, and I, I think they belong together.

So I, I’m really glad you decided to let her go. Who told you that? Ej, you said you were in love with Gabby again? That might be true, but, uh, there is an additional piece. An additional piece complication. What do you mean? I am also. Still in love with Chloe

Gabby, what are you doing? I’m in the middle of an interrogation. I tried to stop her. Oh, I can explain. No later. Right now you need to leave. No, I’m not leaving without Rolf. He needs to finish fixing Stephan. No, not until he agrees to testify and gives me a full statement. I already told you I cannot complete the deprogramming process.

The equipment is destroyed. Well then you need to make new equipment or buy it or order it for you on frankenstein.com. Whatever it costs. Whatever it takes. I don’t care. You need to get Chloe Lane out of my husband’s head. Come on, start writing.

So, because you interrupted the procedure, Ralph wasn’t able to finish? No, he wasn’t able to finish because the machine he was using went cap. When Chloe and I ran down there, there was smoke coming out of it. Gabby was going berserk, yelling at Rolf to do something, and then the cops arrived and arrested him.

What about Chloe? Is she okay? I’m not sure. I don’t know. She got upset and ran out. I can’t believe she didn’t tell you about this. Yeah, yeah. Me neither. Well, maybe she didn’t tell you because tomorrow is Marlena’s funeral, but Brady, I do think she’d appreciates some support. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, it’s straight to voicemail.

Why didn’t you leave a message? Because I’m gonna go to the hotel and talk to him in. Good luck.

Oh, what? What’s wrong? It is that Kate? Yeah. Dad likes having her here. Talking to her gives him comfort. Oh, well I can understand that. Of course, as it turned out, those ashes I was talking to all those years didn’t belong to my Tony. Then maybe Romans should have those checked . I’ll let ’em know you stopped.

All right. Good to see you. Thanks. Thank you. You take care, sweetheart.

Poor boys. All the grief there have to deal.

And I’m just sitting here. Kate, I feel so useless.

Thank you. And you’re right, defeatism be damned. There is definitely something I can do. You are in love with two women. That is quite a situation complicated, like you said, and obviously not tenable over the long term unless you’re into polyamory. Oh,

are you all right? Oh, I, uh, I think I just need some air. Shall I go with you? No, it, it’s okay. I, I’m not dizzy or anything. I just feel a little queasy, so. Be back.

Oh, I hope she’s, uh, gonna be okay. She’ll be fine.

You didn’t mention earlier that Ralph wasn’t able to erase your feelings for Chloe , his equipment malfunctioned before he could finish the p. Right. So if you are still in love with Chloe, you can certainly understand that it would be a terrible idea to reinstall Gabby as c e O. No, actually, I can’t.

Chloe just quit her job at Dira, and you want to make Gabby in charge of the entire company. In fact, you think that’ll burn a few bridges with Chloe? So in other words, keep things as they. With you in charge. With us in charge. Stephanie, we worked so hard to persuade the board to get rid of Gabby, to turn around now and tell them it was a huge mistake.

Not only would that undermine their confidence in us, it could send the stock price tumbling. We can’t take that risk. We need to stay the course. Hmm. I suppose you’re.

What are you waiting for? I have writer’s block Wolf. I swear to God I She is not helping. Could you give us a minute? Of course. Come on Gabby. I Gabby go, please

flock my ass. You know what? Me, listen, I’m sure Rayful wrappings up with roll soon, but I’m not sure how long it’ll be. So just don’t you go home. Try to relax. We’ll call you as soon as he’s done and we release him. Can you call me as soon as he’s done? As soon as they walk outta that door, I will, I promise.

Fine. Fine. I’ll get outta your hair, but please, please stay. Please. I will call you or brave will, but just try to relax. Okay? Not a chance. Not until I get my man. A love of my life.

Even if you can keep Gabby from divorcing me, won’t be much of a marriage. If she hates me and I’m in prison, I already told you I can make the criminal charges go away. How you gonna wave a magic wand? Make Ralph disappear. Don’t you worry, I have a plan, which I’ll put into motion when I’m hired. You’re hired.

So now what? Just sit back, relax, and leave the details to me.

Kristin Dira. Keep going, man. You’re on a roll. Is this not enough? No, it’s not. You want to avoid prison? You give me everyone you’ve got.

Stephen, I thought you were looking forward to us working together. I am. I just, I still feel terrible about what we did to Gabby. You evidently do not, she’s an outsider and I feel very strongly that Dara Enterprises should be run by der. Hmm. As far as one of them’s you, Stefan, I know that you were upset that I didn’t speak up sooner about the brainwashing, but you said that you would forgive me if I was able to put you back in your rightful place as coce O.

That was what you wanted, what you were excited about. It wasn’t until after Gabby forced you to submit to deprogramming that you started. Now that it’s been done, I wish that it had happened months.

For my role that I played in preventing that. Once again, I am very sorry and I’m very grateful that you have forgiven me.

I hope that you were sincere when you said you had. Yes, of course. All is forgiven. Well, I wouldn’t be going into business with you now, would I?

Gabby, I’m glad I ran into you. Are you? Yeah. I thought you’d want an update. Rolfe is back in Salem, and Stephan’s feelings from me have returned. He’s manly in love with me again. So then what are you doing here? Why aren’t you with him? Well, because we’ve had a minor complication. It, nothing that can’t be fixed.

In fact, I’m on cloud nine right now. Can’t you tell? Because I very soon will have my real husband back.

Chloe. Chloe, are you in there? Knock again. Scared me. Anna. Hi. Um, what, what, what are you doing here? I thought you could use a mediator, a woman well versed in the trials and tribulations of romance, just to keep your conversation with Chloe on the right track. Okay, . Thanks for that. Um, I don’t think she’s here though.

I think she’s on an errand or something. Oh, well, that’s too, no, it’s perfect. That’s perfect. When Chloe comes back, she’ll be in for the most wonderful surprise. What do you mean? Well, you just wait right here and I’ll be back in the chair.

Much better. Okay. It’s time to go.

Oh, oh God. Maybe it wasn’t a good idea to stand up.

Who’d you? Well, from a very nice gentleman at the front desk, I told him, you two love birds were getting back together. And, uh, that you’d lost your key card , and he just handed it to you. Well, he is a romantic. Bless the hundred dollars. I slipped him. Probably helped. And, uh, come on. No, come on, just go on inside Brady.

Once Chloe walks back in and finds the love of her life waiting for. She’ll be overjoyed. Yeah. I’m not so sure she’s gonna be down with the whole breaking and entering thing. I told her I’d give her space. Anna, she doesn’t want space. Brady, she wants you now open that door.

What? Um, yeah, I, I just, I, I, I thank you for carrying Anna. I just don’t think you need to be here, . I don’t have anywhere better to be . Sorry to hear that. I appreciate the encouragement, but Chloe and I, we don’t need a mediator or anything. Okay. But how about a videographer? Mm-hmm. . Look, I can record the happy reunion for posterity and look around.

We don’t even have to tidy up. Chloe is obviously a new freak. Yeah, she’s, wait a minute, where is all her stuff? Drawers are empty.

Bathroom’s cleaned out and I don’t see her suitcase, so that means that means she’s gone. But where too? Well, if I knew that. Damn it. So Stephan’s feelings for you are back, but he’s still not sure. You’re the woman. He wants . Why stop gloating. Okay, this is just a minor setback. I don’t even know what the hell I told you about it.

You were venting. I understand. Well, I should have vented to somebody who hasn’t made my life miserable. You know what, Rolf, when he finishes this procedure, he’s gonna make stuff and want me and only me. I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Of course you wouldn’t because you’re spiteful, cynical, and jealous as hell.

I will never want you again. Le Ro is ratting you out to the cops as we speak, meaning you should be on your way to Statesville very soon. I wouldn’t be so sure about that either.

Good. Just need you to sign on the dotted.

Don’t sign that statement. Who are you? Sloan Peterson, your new attorney?

You Nicole. What’s going on? Ah, Nothing. EJ and I did a little too much celebrating last night. Okay. Well it’s, it’s 5:00 PM and you’re still hungover. Well, it was quite a night. I’m fine. Are you okay to walk? Well, I’m not getting in the car with you if that’s what you’re suggesting, because I can smell beer on your breath.

I’m just gonna offer to call you a cab. I got it

where my phone is. Damn. Oh. Oh. You know what? Maybe, maybe I left it in AJ’s bed. Listen, I’m happy to help you. I can take care of myself. Thank you very much.

Thank you for being willing to put my deception behind this brother for being reasonable and understanding. Not exactly the damer we know. Is it ? Perhaps it might be the new way. Perhaps. Hate to see this tea go to waste. Can I enter you in a. Sure. Great. Sure.

You good, brother? Enjoy.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jack: As wonderful as it has been having breakfast with you, I do have to get to the office.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] And as much as I’ve enjoyed this time together, I need to get to work eventually, too. But the first thing I need to do is go back to the hotel and get a change of clothes.

Jack: Well, that’s awfully inconvenient. I know it’s early in our relationship, but you are more than welcome to leave a few things here. I just hate that you have to race to the hotel any morning that you decided to spend the night.

Diane: Well, that’s a great idea, but I’m a little concerned how kyle will react.

Jack: Oh, I think a couple changes of clothes are not going to alarm kyle. Besides, we can be discreet. We don’t have to flaunt it.

Diane: Alright, you’ve convinced me.

Jack: Okay. I have one errand before I go in, so why don’t you go get your things, bring them here, and I’ll help you get them upstairs before I go to jabot.

Diane: Okay. Ah, you know, I have to admit, this is making me a little nervous. Are we tempting fate to be this happy?

Jack: This time, fate is on our side.

Diane: Mm.

Jack: Got to go.

Sally: Yes, yeah, this afternoon works perfectly. Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly. I really appreciate you squeezing me in for an appointment so soon. Yeah, yeah, I’ll see you then.

[ Sighs ] Okay. Okay. I… I will call nick and see if he’s available. That will be fine. Then, after that… I will call adam.

[ Sighs ]

Victoria: They have no idea what it takes to make things really happen.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] We do.

[ Bottle uncorks ]

Victoria: That’s damn right we do.

Nate: [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ]

Elena: Hey.

Nate: Hi.

Elena: Everything okay? Four delicious pieces of chocolate.

Nick: What’s up? Oh, sorry. Didn’t mean to startle you. Are you….okay?

Victoria: Yes, I’m fine. Everything is great. I was just thinking about the brainstorming session that I had last evening with nate. We were talking about our plans for pursuing daniel’s gaming platform and strategizing for taking over tucker’s company. Well, once newman can assume his loans and control his debt…

Nick: Tucker’s just going to fold under the pressure.

Victoria: Yes, he just might.

Nick: You sound awfully sure of yourself, vick.

Victoria: Well, no one has ever benefited from underestimating me. I know, I know that things could get ugly, but nothing worth taking is ever easy.

Chloe: Hi. I got your text message. What’s the emergency?

Sally: I told nick everything.

Chloe: Everything? As in, adam could be the baby’s father?

Sally: Yeah.

Chloe: How did he take it?

Sally: Better than I could’ve hoped. He was sweet and understanding, as always, and he claimed it didn’t change anything between us.

Chloe: Okay, well, if nick is saying and doing all the right things, then why are you so concerned?

Sally: Because what if he’s only doing everything right because he feels like he has to? Maybe he’s just hedging because the baby might be his, but if that’s not the case and the father is actually adam, nick could walk away.

Elena: If only you could take a personal day off from work and stay home with me.

Nate: Ah, I’m so tempted. Believe me, I’d love nothing more. And I’ve missed you, too. But you’ve already made me a little late.

Elena: Aw, don’t tell me you regret our little interlude.

Nate: Not even a little bit. But I have a lot going on at work today, and I need to get to the office.

Elena: [ Clicks tongue ] Okay. Well, it could’ve been fun doing all your favorite things.

Nate: Mm, you need to stop tempting me. But hold that thought, because I promise you, this weekend will just be you and me. We’ll have a romantic getaway. Okay? No work, no phones, no late-night shifts. Just us.

Elena: Okay.

[ Door opens ]

[ Chuckles ]

Victor: Well, now. My goodness. Jack abbott. Should I be hiding the silver and the jewelry and all that? I mean, now that you’ve resorted to becoming a thief to become relevant.

Jack: I didn’t come here to play your games, victor. I came here to offer a word of warning.

Victor: Oh, really? Well, you have a lot of nerve, man. I could turn you into the authorities.

Jack: I’ve been made aware of your plot to undermine adam’s work at jabot. Additionally, you’ve tried to enlist my son in your effort.

Victor: How’d you learn that?

Jack: Doesn’t matter how I found out. You may have lost your own son. I will be damned if you use mine for your little underhanded plot. I brought in ensure max protein

Victor: Hate to disappoint you, jack, but I have no intention of undermining my son, adam. He’s doing a very good job all by himself. But you and I know that he doesn’t belong at jabot. He’s doing a terrible job there. Which does not speak very well for you as a mentor and a boss. How would you allow someone to perform at a subpar level?

Jack: You seem to be privy to inside information.

Victor: Instead of coming here and leveling unfounded accusations against me, why don’t you go home and try to somehow salvage that train wreck of a relationship between you and diane jenkins? Although, I must say, I love watching it all go up in flames.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

[ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Knock on door ]

Elena: Tessa.

Tessa: Hi. Uh, do you have a shift you have to get to? Or bed, maybe?

Elena: No, I just finished my night shift. Come on in. I’ve always got time for a friend.

Tessa: Thank you.

Elena: So, what’s going on? Is everything okay with mariah? The baby?

Victoria: What is going on with you? You’ve been distracted for days.

Nick: Nothing for you to worry about. Everything’s fine.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] You know, you can’t hide from me. I can tell that something is weighing on you. Maybe I can help.

Nick: I’m not denying there’s something on my mind. There just isn’t anything you can do about it.

Victoria: Well, judging by the way that you’re shutting me out, I can only assume that this has to do with sally.

Nick: I guess you weren’t listening when I said it doesn’t concern you.

Victoria: I don’t understand. Why would you be involved with somebody that completely alienates you from the rest of your family the way that sally does? You know, after what I went through with ashland, I know how damaging and painful something like this can be. And the fact that you won’t even talk about it maybe is a sign that it shouldn’t be happening in the first place.

Nick: I’m not talking about this with you or dad. Sally is off limits.

Chloe: You need to just trust in nick. Whether or not the baby is his, I don’t believe for a minute he would treat you any differently.

Sally: Well, when I told him about adam, he said that the possibility had already occurred to him. He wasn’t completely caught off guard, but then he left almost immediately. But he claimed that he had to get home to christian.

Chloe: Oh, well, yeah, of course he did, because he’s an amazing father.

Sally: Yeah, but that’s the problem. What if he’s not my baby’s father? What if adam is?

Chloe: Okay, don’t even entertain that thought. It’s just not worth it.

Sally: How can you say that? Ignoring that reality is just stupid and naive. If adam is the father, it changes everything, especially between me and nick.

Chloe: I just don’t think it’s that cut and dried with nick. It’s not who he is. He won’t walk away.

Sally: Regardless, I can’t take any more of this. Seriously, this tension is driving me crazy. I called the dna lab before I texted you. The paternity test is set for this afternoon. They’ll just draw some blood for me, and then they will need to take a swab from the potential fathers. Nick…and…adam.

worst nighttime symptoms

Chloe: You can’t tell adam about the pregnancy. That would be a mistake.

Sally: You don’t know that. And adam is an amazing father to connor, and he already makes the co-parenting thing with an ex work with chelsea.

Chloe: Well, better safe than sorry when it comes to someone that impulsive and unpredictable.

Sally: I can’t have this uncertainty hanging over my head. I just need to get it all out in the open and deal with it. So I just need your help trying to figure out what to say to adam. How do I tell him?

Chloe: Okay, let’s just slow down for a second and let’s really think this through.

Sally: If adam is the father, I have to tell him.

Chloe: Okay, I… I understand that. But let’s not forget that there is a very good chance that he’s not. So you should do the test with nick first, and if he’s the father — and, please, god, let that be the case — then adam never even needs to know that there is a possibility that he could be the father.

Sally: And if it’s not nick’s baby?

Chloe: Well, then and only then, do you even consider bringing adam into the equation.

Sally: But is that really fair to adam, letting him be the last to know?

Chloe: No. In most cases, it wouldn’t be, but adam only recently stopped stalking you.

Sally: Okay, that’s a bit of an exaggeration. He was… more of a pest.

Chloe: Okay, whatever you want to call it. But if adam knows that there was even a chance that he could be the father, even if the test shows that nick is the dad, adam will use it as an open invitation. And the last thing you need right now is giving adam an excuse to come storming into your life.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Both sigh ]

Nick: Hey, chloe.

Chloe: Hi, nick.

Nick: Hi.

[ Door closes ]

Chloe: Um, well, it looks like you’re in good hands, so i will leave you to it and, um… just know if you need anything, anything at all, just shoot me a text.

Sally: Thank you.

[ Door opens, closes ]

Nick: She is a good friend. You’re lucky to have her.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Tessa: So there mariah and i were, about to hop on the next flight after delphine called us because she told us she was going into labor.

Elena: So she wasn’t?

Tessa: No. We were headed to the airport when she called us again and told us it was, um, uh, braxton hicks, a false alarm?

Elena: Ah, no, that’s very common. And since the baby’s do any day now, you can just think of it as a dress rehearsal for the real thing.

Tessa: Which I’m thankful for, because, you know, we want to be there when the baby is born.

Elena: I hope it works out for you guys.

Tessa: Thank you. But, honestly, it really freaked me out. It made me realize that something could go wrong during the birth. And I know this is probably just residual anxiety because of mariah and dom, but I just have to hear it from a professional. Is there anything I can do to ensure that the baby’s going to be okay?

Jack: I’d like to think you have better things to do with your time than worry about my personal life.

Victor: If I were you, i would start worrying about yourself.

Michael: Oh.

[ Clears throat ] What is that I detect in the air?

Victor: Nothing, nothing at all. Everything okay. Right, jack?

Michael: Um, I need to have a word with you, but if I need to go and come back —

Jack: No, no, don’T. Don’t worry. I’m leaving. But not before I offer one last warning. Stay out of jabot’s affairs, even if they include adam. You lost him as an employee and a son. That’s on you. Maybe you should make peace with that.

Michael: Wow.

Victor: Have a seat, michael.

Michael: [ Chuckles ] Thank you.

Victor: So? Any more news about tucker mccall?

Michael: As a matter of fact, there is. I’ve been doing some more digging into his loans. The man is in quite a lot of debt, or, actually, his company is. And as you’d hoped, buying up mccall’s loans will give newman quite a bit of leverage, but, unfortunately, not outright control.

Victor: Hmm.

Michael: That’ll take a little more convincing, and, as you and I both know, tucker’s not easily intimidated.

Victor: You know, I love a challenge, and I’m looking forward to dealing with that S.O.B.

Tucker: Uh-oh, there she is. Where are you headed off to now? Is that your escape bag? Is your partner in crime stark back?

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Tucker: You know, it’d be so ironic if you were to leave town right after phyllis. I bet she would — she would hop on the first flight back here asap if she knew you were going to be gone for good.

Diane: Whatever. And I am sorry to disappoint you, but I’m not going anywhere. My life is more on track now than it’s ever been. Although yours, not so much. Oh, hey, where is ashley these days? Oh, that’s right. She fled genoa city for paris just to get away from you. Sad.

Tucker: Yeah, I think she’s going to be back pretty soon.

Diane: Mm.

Tucker: But I’m happy to hear that your life is back on track, as you say. But it’s a happiness that’s yours to lose.

[ Hums indistinctly ]

Diane: [ Sighs ] (Vo) morning, noon, night.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Elena: The first thing I want to tell you is I think that it’s great that you already want to protect the baby. It’s a very natural maternal instinct. Now, I’ve got some good news and some bad news for you. The bad news is that there’s not really much that you and mariah can do outside of just being there for delphine when the time comes. So the best thing that you can do is be on standby and be ready to be the best mothers that you can be.

Tessa: Is there anything else you can suggest?

Elena: Well, that’s where the good news comes in. You can stop worrying. The probability of having a complication during a full-term delivery after a healthy pregnancy is very low.

Tessa: Oh. Thank god.

Elena: [ Chuckles ]

Tessa: I guess I just have to keep reminding myself that delphine is giving birth in a hospital under perfectly normal circumstances.

Elena: [ Chuckles ] Exactly. So you have no reason to think anything is going to go wrong. So, tell me, are you and mariah preparing to go to portland?

Tessa: Yes, we are going to be leaving soon. Mariah has some loose ends to tie up at work so that she can work remotely while we are waiting for the baby to come.

Elena: Great. Alright, so you want to tell me what else is going on? ‘Cause it’s very clear that you’re still holding something back.

Tessa: Mariah’s been pregnant before, so she’s familiar with what’s going on. And delphine is carrying the baby, and she’s had nine months to prepare for childbirth. And then there’s me who is completely unprepared for childbirth and…motherhood.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Jack: Hey.

Diane: Hi.

Jack: Did you get everything?

Diane: Yeah. Mm.

Jack: So if you need a toothbrush or anything like that, I can certainly accommodate you.

Diane: I appreciate your hospitality, but I think I’ve got everything.

Jack: What about your stuff in L.A.? I’m guessing you left a lot of possessions there. I could arrange to have it sent for and stored here, if you like.

Diane: Um, thank you, but — but no, no. My years in L.A. Hardly feel real to me anymore. I mean, I know that’s where i healed, but I don’t really have a connection to that time. I mean, whatever’s left there is just stuff, and I think those things belong right where they are.

Jack: Then they should stay in california.

Diane: Tell me, jack, is it wrong to be this happy, especially knowing no one else will be happy for us?

Jack: The people that care about us, the people that love us will come around. The rest don’t even matter.

Diane: Mm.

Tucker: Hey, ashley, it’s me. I assumed that you let it go straight to voicemail ’cause you’re seeing it’s me calling. I get that. The reason I’m calling is I’m wondering if you would give me the opportunity to clear the air between us. There’s a lot of things I want to tell you, and I want to come clean about every aspect of my situation, because I want you to understand why… why the subterfuge, as foolish as it was. So I’m wondering, would you be willing to meet me if I came to paris briefly? We’d just have lunch and chat, but that’s all I ask. Alright, bye.

[ Cellphone thuds lightly ]

Nate: I was, um, just about to come see you. Is this a good time?

Victoria: I’m on my way back to my office right now. Do you want to walk with me?

Nate: Okay, um, I thought it might be a good idea if we clear the air about, uh —

Victoria: Our brainstorming session last night. Um…yes. You know, I was very invigorated by what we accomplished.

Nate: Yes, uh, I thought it was a productive meeting, too.

Victoria: We should have more meetings like that. Don’t you think?

Sally: First of all, I just wanted to see how you were doing. I wasn’t really sure where things stood whenever you left last night.

Nick: I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think about it all the time, but, sally, it doesn’t change anything. I’m with you, just like I promised.

Sally: That’s the thing. I don’t understand why. The only explanation that I can come up with for you supporting me is because the situation forces you to, like, the baby that I’m carrying might be yours, but what if it’s not?

Nick: Do you not understand how I feel about you yet? Look, I appreciate you telling me the truth about adam, that he may be the father, but… I know it was hard for you. It just makes me respect and appreciate and care about you even more. As far as the paternity of the baby goes, sally, we’ll just cross that bridge when we come to it.

Sally: Well, I had to tell you I couldn’t wait another second. I can’t deal with this uncertainty any longer, which is the main reason why I asked you to come right away. I scheduled the dna test for today. How do I love thee?

Nate: I agree. Our brainstorming session was very productive. We should have more of them. We could potentially lay a clear and lucrative path to the future.

Victoria: On a purely professional level, of course.

Nate: Of course.

Victor: Hello. Hello, nate.

Nate: Hello.

Victor: Nate, would you mind if michael and I had a conversation with victoria alone?

Elena: While I haven’t had any firsthand experience with pregnancy, either, I have worked with a lot of mothers, and I can tell you that what you’re experiencing is very normal. In fact, I have yet to meet any first-time mothers, biological or otherwise, who haven’t at one point or another felt, on some level, completely overwhelmed and unprepared for what’s next.

Tessa: Yeah, I mean, it’s pretty terrifying thinking about all that responsibility.

Elena: There’s nothing trivial about taking care of another life, especially a newborn, because it can’t do anything for themselves. You know, they only can communicate by crying instead of talking. They need to be carried. They need to be fed. They need to be changed. But I have no doubt you have everything it takes to be a great mother.

Tessa: But I have no idea what to do.

Elena: Yeah, and there are some skills that you’ll have to develop, like changing diapers and feeding and setting a sleeping schedule. But then there are going to be things that are pure instinct, like loving and caring and nurturing. And those are all things that you are very familiar with. Tessa, I’ve seen how amazing you can be. I remember when mariah was struggling with giving dominic to abby. You were her rock. You comforted her, you loved her, and you helped her get back to the amazing person that she is. And the way I see it, you coming here, it just proves that you’re ready.

Tessa: What do you mean?

Elena: Coming to me, hoping to find any way possible to shield your daughter from harm even before she’s born. That little baby is going to be beyond lucky to have not only one, but two of the strongest, most loving women as her mothers.

Adam: Hey, chloe, wait. Can — can you just give me one second?

Chloe: Why would I want to do that?

Adam: Look, chloe, I realize that you hate me, and I don’t expect that to change anytime soon, but you know me as well as anyone, for better or worse, and I know you care about sally. I’m genuinely concerned about her right now. You must see that.

Chloe: All I see is you trying to worm your way back into her life.

Adam: Listen, come on. I know that something is wrong. And don’t tell me that she’s worried about your new business venture or this — this lame line that nick was giving me, that she’s uncomfortable being around the both of us. Sally’s much tougher than that. This is something new. I mean, is she unhappy with nick? Is it not working out between the two of them?

Chloe: [ Scoffs ] Why are we doing this again? And why are you meddling in sally’s life? Hasn’t she made it perfectly clear that she wants nothing to do with you? And what more do nick and sally need to do to convince you that what they share is real? I mean, they are bonded together now.

Adam: Bonded? How?

Chloe: I mean, even if things with nick weren’t amazing, which they are, why would sally want you? Don’t you have something else to obsess over? I mean, don’t you have a job, or do you not have actual responsibilities? Or, hmm, was it just a pity handout to keep you off the streets and out of trouble? I never get tired of this.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Jack: I wonder who that could be.

Adam: Jack, uh, I hope now’s not a bad time, but I need to speak with you about jabot.

Jack: Uh, can you give me a minute?

Diane: I will make myself scarce, but we will continue this later.

Jack: Come on in. Everything alright?

Adam: Um…

Jack: Something wrong?

Adam: No, I just — I wanted to speak with you about my potential future in the company, you know, before things get potentially ugly with victor and kyle.

Jack: Oh, wait, now, let me stop you right there. I don’t know where you’re getting your information. I spoke to kyle at length, and he assured me he had no part in victor’s little scheme.

Adam: Okay, well, I’m not so sure about that, jack. I spoke to people at the company, and it turns out kyle has looked into some of the projects that I’m directly overseeing. Now, I understand they haven’t turned out to be successful ventures, as we hoped, but that is not public knowledge.

Jack: I spoke to victor earlier. He did seem to know an awful lot about your diminished performance.

Adam: Yeah, I’m sorry about that. I’m working on turning things around. But regardless, I think it’s pretty clear that your son is lying to you.

Nick: [ Clicks tongue ] I am surprised you scheduled the dna test so soon. Have you talked to adam yet?

Sally: No. And after speaking with chloe, I’ve decided that I am going to tell adam only if I have to.

Nick: Meaning if I am not the father.

Adam: I just don’t invite that chaos back in my life if I can avoid it. Right now, things are good, and I need to hold onto that for as long as I can, so I thought I would start with just testing your dna.

Nick: Well, it’s your decision to make. I will support you no matter what.

Sally: If we’re really in this together, I need you to be completely honest with me.

Nick: Have I ever been anything but?

Sally: No, and that’s what I’m counting on. How would you feel if I told adam that he could potentially be the father even before the test? Is that what you want?

Nick: Um… I’m okay with it in the sense that it is not my decision to make. As far as adam knowing, I absolutely do not want him to know. I hope he never has to know. I’m just trying to do the right thing here. But when and if you decide to tell him, just know I will completely have you back.

Sally: Well, thank you so much for being understanding. It means everything to me. If you’re free, would you mind coming with me to the testing center so they can swab you to see if you’re a match? Then we can know for sure. And maybe we could put this whole issue to rest sooner rather than later.

Nick: I’ll make time for that.

Tessa: Thank you for your kind words and your faith in me. It is exactly what I needed to hear.

Elena: Well, it was all true. Every word.

Tessa: I wish we could bring you to portland with us, if only for advice and pep talks.

Elena: You have my number. You can call me any time, day or night.

Tessa: Thank you. So, what’s new with you? I can’t help but seem to notice how happy you are.

Elena: Is it that obvious?

Tessa: Yes. And I am just so glad that things are better for you.

Elena: Yes. Me, too. It was really tense with nate and i during his career transition, and, honestly, I wasn’t sure if we would find our way back to each other. But… here we are, making it work. And, yeah, I am indeed very happy. We both are.

[ Chuckles ]

Nate: Alright, then, I will, um, leave you to your meeting.

Victoria: Well, what is it that you wanted to discuss?

Michael: [ Clicks tongue ] It’s about the purchasing of the debt you and victor discussed.

Nate: I’ll check in with you later, victoria.

Victoria: No, nate, wait. You should be in on this.

Victor: Sweetheart, this does not involve newman media.

Victoria: Well, nonetheless, I think that nate should be in on our plan for tucker and our acquisition of mccall unlimited. I-I believe that he would be a valuable asset to our plan moving forward. Trust me, his input will benefit all of us, daddy. Thank you.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, my goodness. You beat me.

[ Laughter ] Wow. Thank you for meeting me at the last minute. Oh, yeah, sure. Not our usual meeting place. No. No, I just sort of needed the comfort and coziness of kelly’s diner tonight. Is everything all right? Well, I’m going to need you to step in for me tomorrow at the sanitation workers contract negotiation meeting. Sure. What’s going on, laura? A lot. I went to the hospital to attend britt westbourne’s memorial, and I found out that a very dear friend of mine died. Hey, are you thinking about charlotte? Mm. You two had a really nice visit. Yeah, it was all too brief. I would have liked to have seen more of her. Having her in my arms made me realize just what I’m missing. My girl’s growing up. They have a tendency to be that. [ Chuckles ] She’s very mature for her age, I think. You two seem to be getting along. She’s on to us, you know? You think? Yeah. I think she approves. Oh. Ooh. How’d it go? Oh. As planned. Yes. Charlotte’s safe? Charlotte is home with kevin at laura’S. Okay, good. That’s a relief. Yeah. Did something happen? Is there a problem? Well, other than victor, no. Uncle. Oh, spencer. Spencer, dear boy. What are you doing here? I was — I was just hoping to give liesl my condolences, but I’m too late. It was a nice memorial. I’m sure that britt would have approved. Liesl will no doubt be struck by the irony of the situation. What irony is that? That she and I are living in the same hell. The hell of losing one’s only living child. Oh, curtis, everything is so beautiful! I’m glad you like it. I love it. Oh, honey. Look at them. They look so happy. They deserve it. Are ready for the big day tomorrow? Absolutely. Portia and curtis should be celebrated. Yeah. Although I can’t help but wonder how your mom feels. Uh, you’ve been recognized away from the station and having fun.

[ Laughs ] Who says I’m having fun?

[ Gasps ] Wow! Really? Friendly fire. I thought we were cool. We are. I’ve got your back, partner. Always. You know, you were probably my most successful relationship. Back at you. And, you know, tomorrow, our exes are going to become partners for life. Portia: Have fun! Thank you. You’re off the clock. All right.

[ Laughter ] Uh, babe, I know you were disappointed that your mom’s condition prevents her from traveling. Well, of course, I’d love to have my family here, but that’s okay. As long as I have you, I’ll be fine. Yeah, that’s sweet. Well, I can’t disappoint my beautiful bride. Hey! Oh, my god! Daddy! Oh!

[ Laughs ] Aw, look at you. Zeke! Come here! Oh, my god! I don’t believe it. Your g randfather, huh? And my uncle ezekiel. Zeke. Is he a doctor, too? Oh, no. Uncle zeke went his own way. Okay. Come on, come on. I have someone for you to meet!

[ Squeals ] Oh, whoa, whoa, not so fast. Didn’t you just get here? Yeah. Hey, well, I’m sorry for blocking your escape, but I’m also so sorry for everything that you’re going through, elizabeth. Your break-up with finn. Oh, right, right. Yeah, it’s been, um, a rough couple of weeks for the whole family. Why, is something going on with the boys? Cameron — first love break-up. I know we all get through it eventually, but it’s a unique type of pain. Oh, yeah. I just wish I could take it from him. That’s so hard. Yeah. Well, he’ll get through it. He will. And I’m sure he knows that you’re there for him. But what if I can’t be? I can’t let you take her. Don’t worry. I’ll tell avery you said goodbye.

[ Grunts ] Nikolas? Nikolas, are you…? Please answer me.

I couldn’t let you take avery. I just wanted to stop you so I could… so I could reason with you. Nikolas? Please wake up. Anna devane is dead? Along with my granddaughter’s father, valentin cassadine. Are you sure about this? Yes. Valentin tracked anna to a paris catacomb, and then it collapsed. There are multiple fatalities. Whoever was behind this is responsible for a tremendous loss of life. You didn’t invite me out tonight to have a pity party, did you? Pity is not our style, but everyone we know is at the savoy. Celebrating the happy couple and toasting them. So I figured it was a great chance to go share a meal. Because I might feel what, taggert? Lonely? Jealous? Left out. Like me. Well, we could have gone. We were invited. But we declined, because it wouldn’t be right. Because you’re not over portia. Jordan, I’ve been over portia.

You are not over curtis. Uh, no, I’m not over wanting to protect him. What does that mean? Dr. Robinson, it’s so nice to finally meet you in person. Hey, tomorrow you’re going to be my son-in-law, curtis. Call me sterling. Sterling it is. I’m so glad that you and ezekiel both could make it. Yes. Thanks to you. And, uh, it’s zeke. No one calls me ezekiel except my mom when she’s mad at me. Which has happened, not just one, but maybe, I don’t know, 50 times.

[ Laughter ] Oh, okay. See, not even here five minutes and “sisteritis” rears its head.

[ Laughs ] Do want to hear what your fiancé did? Or you want to keep talking smack? Okay. Yes, yes, yes. I want to hear it all. Tell me everything. Thank you. So not only did this man arrange our flights last minute, he hired a caretaker to look after mom. He’s a keeper. Mom decided it would be best all around to sit this one out, and I’m sure she wishes them well. I know she wants curtis to be happy. Yeah. Still, I mean, it must be hard to see him move on. She’s only human. If we ever split up and you committed to somebody else, I… I don’t — I don’t know how I’d take it. Well, it’s a good thing you never have to find out. Because if we don’t work out, then I am joining a nunnery. That I can’t — I can’t even imagine.

[ Laughs ] But no relationship is infallible. You know what? Why are we even talking about this at your uncle’s rehearsal dinner? If it’s because I brought up your mom, then I’m sorry I mentioned it. No, no, no, we’re good. We’re good. I just want us to stay that way. Why wouldn’t we? Because we have something in common with why my mom and curtis didn’t make it. Speaking of doctors, where’s epiphany? Oh, uh… she’s out of town. Now that she passed her mcats, she’s checking out a few med schools on the west coast. Epiphany is moving? Maybe. Maybe not. Hopefully not. Trina, why are you hanging around me? Don’t you have a date tonight, or is he late?

[ Laughs ] You’re fun to hang around. Right. [ Chuckles ] And don’t worry. I didn’t invite spencer. I knew better than to bring him to a family event. Good call. Uncle, did something happen to valentin? He…died. My god. How? Drowned. In paris. I don’t understand. He drowned? What was he doing there? Was he on business? My son died putting others ahead of his family. Let that be a lesson to you, spencer. Friends may have their appeal. Women may… may have their uses, but in the final analysis, cleave only to your true family. Only a cassadine can really understand another cassadine. Heed these words, spencer. Lest you suffer the same fate as my son. Oh, please wake up! I didn’t mean it, you know? I just wanted you to stop you from taking avery. Are you breathing? Oh, god.

[ Knock on door ] Austin: Ava! Ava, you there? Ava, open up! It’s austin.

Now you know why I need you to step in. It’s just so upsetting. The loss of innocent life. And I believe that anna d evane was innocent. I think she was framed. Of course, now she’ll never have the chance to prove that, will she? And my little granddaughter. [ Gasps ] She is just bereft over the loss of her father. I’m sorry. I, um — why don’t we go over those contracts for the sanitation workers? Yeah, I’m, um… I’m not feeling very well myself. Could we tackle this in the morning? Well, of course, but do you think you’re going to be up to it? Oh, yes, I’ll be fine. I’m sorry about your friends, laura. Oh, thanks. Mission accomplished. Jordan, why do you feel you need to protect curtis? Just because we divorced our exes doesn’t mean we don’t still care. Yeah, me and portia still care about each other, but protecting her? That’s curtis’ responsibility now. Trina, that’s a different story. I’m always going to care about my baby girl no matter what. Well, you know me. Protecting everyone I care about is second nature. That includes you. I don’t need any protecting, no more than curtis does. Unless there’s something you’re not saying. You and I have always trusted each other with our lives, with our secrets. And I… hi, you two. Hi. I was just on my way to curtis and portia’s rehearsal dinner. I guess you two are not? Uh, not really feeling the moment. I saw you were withassistant mayor ashby. Looked intense. Anything I should know about? Oh, no. We were just going over some of the contracts for tomorrow’s meeting. And then she started to feel sick, and so she left kind of suddenly. Oh, well, I hope she feels better soon. I think things are likely to get worse for eileen before they get better. I hope that stella feels better soon. I heard that she was too ill to officiate at the wedding. You know mom wanted to be here more than anything, right? Oh, I know, I know. How’s she doing? Really? Is she having any side effects from the new medication, or…? Mm, she’s okay. She made me promise not to talk about her health with you. Of course she did. She just wants you to focus on your wedding and not worry about her. She, uh, sent you this. This is great grandmother’s brooch. Oh, no, no, no. I can’t accept this. This is far too valuable. She said you’d say that. She also said nothing is more priceless than the happiness of her only daughter. And I’m not wearing it, so you better.

[ Chuckles ] See ya. How can I thank you?

[ Laughs ] Now everything is going to be perfect tomorrow. What’s wrong? There’s been a slight hitch. But you know what? We got guests. It can wait. Okay, if there’s going to be a problem at our wedding day, I want to know. Curtis, tell me what’s going on. You know you can tell me. Yes, I am just hyper aware that time is fleeting and tomorrow’s not promised. I see spencer. He’s sensitive and kind. People just need to keep an open mind and give

him a chance. Sounds like your friendship’s been good for him. Just make sure the reverse is true. Curtis and my mom started leading separate lives. They let their careers take their focus. I just don’t want us to make the same mistake that my mom and curtis did. I mean, I miss you, but I still feel close to you. I feel the same. Promise me that we will always be vigilant about this. Promise. Okay. In fact, I can’t wait to get closer tonight. Please elaborate. Okay. I’m sorry, but I need to know, how close is the D.A. To nailing esme prince? Promise me you are commi ttedto this family, spencer. And to the f utureI’m trying to build four generations of cassadines to come. I am. I believe that there is a brighter future for the cassadine line. That gives me great comfort. I knew I could count on you to do what’s necessary. Well, you can. Starting with taking full custody of my little brother or sister. Austin: Ava?

[ Knocking ] Ava, are you in there? Ava, are you in there? Oh, hey, you’re here. Hey, doc. This really isn’t a good time. It’ll only take a minute. Maybe tomorrow. I’m on a business call. I can wait. You know, I really wasn’t expecting company this evening. Yeah, it’s really important. Will you please let me in? It’s really cold out here. You can wait in the sitting room. It’s, uh, upstairs and to the right. The staff has the evening off, so you’ll have to find it on your own. Go. Think, ava, think.

I hadn’t heard about stella being sick, but I worried this might happen. Stella has a history of health issues, and she was a little off when I saw her earlier today. Well, at least it’s nothing serious. I should get going. I hope you two have a wonderful evening. You too. Whatever this is, it really must have laid stella out. I can’t imagine her missing her nephew’s big day. I’ll call her. Maybe go and check in on her. See if she’s up for it. You know, it’s really good that you’ve kept up the relationship with curtis’ family. I’m grateful. Divorce doesn’t only affect the two people in the marriage. That’s how me and portia are. I mean, we have to for trina sake. And now that curtis is part of the equation, it’S… I mean, he’s — he’s a good guy. Yeah, he is. And so are you. And portia is a good woman. But sometimes good people get caught up — whoa, whoa, hold up, jordan. I know why you feel you got to protect curtis. You do? It’s because of portia’s lie. Why didn’t you tell me about aunt stella earlier? I was wondering why she wasn’t here yet. Auntie didn’t want to ruin tonight. And she feels awful about tomorrow. Aw, babe. And I know how badly you wanted her to officiate. Listen, as long as I get to marry you tomorrow, nothing else matters. Best man! [ Laughs ] You got that speech locked down yet? Well, I still kind of on the fence whether I’m going to go funny or get all sentimental. Either works. As long as it’s from the heart. That’s the truth. I will do my best. But I’ll tell you what. The gift that he is most grateful for is you being at the wedding. Drew. I just wish I could give him the one thing he asked for. Hello to you, too. I thought the bride was supposed to be the one in overdrive. Yeah, I guess I — I guess I came in kind of hot, huh? You know what? It’s totally understandable, given everything esme has put you through. But I’m afraid the defense might try to plead it out, argue for reduced penalties, or even a dismissal of charges. Which means esme will be free to live her life and raise her baby. Diane agreedto be my counsel. Even ava offered to help. I have the support of my friends. But you’re — you’re making this move against your father now? After everything I said about putting others ahead of family? Yes, uncle. I heard the cleaving part. But my sibling is a cassadine, too. Arguably the only one worth saving. This baby represents the future that you are so passionate about. And shouldn’t we give the newest cassadine heir the best chance in life? Can you honestly say that that would be with my father or esme? Nikolas is desperate to raise this child. I don’t care what my father wants. Huh. Neither do I. I knew I was right to put my trust in you, spencer. Well played. This custody move is stroke of genius. Excuse me, curtis. You have an uninvited guest. I told him it’s a private event, but he says he needs to have a word. Okay, n’neka. Than ks.I’ll handle it. Don’t go far. Where would I go?

[ Both chuckle ] Brad? Oh, hey. Sorry to intrude, curtis, but my aunt asked me to stop by. For what? The occasion of your wedding. My aunt selina sends her warmest compliments.

[ Ava grunts ]

[ Horse neighing in distance ] I’m so sorry, nikolas. I did love you.

Laura told victorthe authorities contacted her, confirming our deaths, but how do we know that victor buys that? After victor was contacted by laura, he verified it with his people. Okay, well, that’s neat. It’s clean. For now. What next? So, as far as victor knows, you and anna are deceased. You’re ghosts. And what do ghosts do best? They get three sheets to the wind. That’s not a dad joke, by the way. Charlotte taught me that. Ghosts do love their “boos.” They also exorcise. Okay, stop. Stop. And how do they exorcise? With a vigorous haunting. Tell your auntie I appreciate the well-wishes. Thank you for the delivery. You’re welcome to stay for a drink. Thanks, but I’m really not in the celebrating mood. Right. Sorry about your friend. Yeah. Congratulations. Whew! It is windy out there. And there you are. Can you believe your big day is here already? How do you feel? Overwhelmed, but happy. Portia! I’m so glad you could come! Oh, me too. You look beautiful. Thank you. Um, especially now, uh, because we have a big favor to ask of you. I would love to officiate your wedding. Are you psychic?

[ Laughs ] No. Stella called me. She explained the whole situation. That’s my auntie. Always taking care of business. And the people she loves. Thank you so much. That takes a real weight off of our shoulders. We appreciate it. Oh, it is my pleasure. And stella wanted you to know that she was very sorry that she wasn’t going to be able to make it. She didn’t sound that bad when I talked to her, but jordan seemed to think that it was just coming on all day. Jordan said that stella was sick earlier. Uh, yeah, she thought that it — she was worried that, uh… is something wrong? Oh, I think I’m just a little bit surprised. You know, stella seemed… she seemed fine when I saw her last. You know how, you know, those bugs can come on suddenly, you know? Yeah. Well, hey, let’s get a drink. Come on. Okay. You know, let me take a second with my mother’s gift. Sure. Okay. Okay? Well, I have to admit that I’m surprised you approve of me seeking custody. Although I’m glad that you do. Well, how could I not? Oh, I don’t just approve. I am impressed, spencer. This is a masterful move. It could be the key to finally getting your father to fall in line. Then you misunderstand, because this isn’t about getting my father to fall in line. This is about getting him out of our lives. Isn’t that what you want, too? Aren’t you finished with him? Oh, no one’s ever really finished with family. No, this is, um — this move is seamless. It builds on everything already in motion. It’ll take nikolas losing everything, including his baby, to force him finally back into the fold. You want to explain to me what’s going on here? Are you gonna call the cops? Is there any reason on this earth that I wouldn’t? Nikolas and I were arguing. He threatened to take my daughter. He said that he would use his uncle victor’s resources and I would never see avery again. And I — and I panicked. And I just grabbed the first thing that I could. And I — I hit him. I just wanted to stop him. But he fell, and he wasn’t breathing. So you put him in a closet and padlocked it? Can we — can we talk about that? Everyone will I think that I killed my husband out of revenge. Did you? No! I told you. I just wanted to stop him. I-I wanted to talk to him. He threatened to take my daughter! You think that sounds like a defense, but that sounds like motive. Despite everything, I loved him. I’m sure you did. All right, so he shows up here late at night, unannounced, uninvited, threatens to take your daughter. And I don’t know your track record with the truth, but with a great attorney, this could — no! You’re — you don’t understand. I killed nikolas. It doesn’t matter if I meant to. It doesn’t matter what any court might rule. I will be condemned and sentenced by victor cassadine.

What portia did, it hurt me. You know, it really hurt me. But, um… I’ve forgiven her. But trina. Of course it’s never easy learning that your parents are perfect. So, yeah, she was hurt. But she also understands that my behavior was part of it. Wait. How is any of this your fault? Jordan, I was never home. You and me, we were off doing undercover work all the time. I mean, my wife, she was lonely. She felt neglected. I get why you feel you got to protect curtis. You feel that if portia was unfaithful before, she could do it again. Actually, I believe portia genuinely loves curtis, and I’m certain that she would do anything not to lose him. Stella? It went straight to voicemail. Maybe you’re sleeping. But I just wanted to check in on you and see if you were okay. If you need anything, let me know. We miss you. What’s wrong, p? I know that look.

[ Sighs ] Nothing. Hopefully. Um, curtis’ aunt suddenly fell ill. And you’re worried? Not for the reason you might think. He asked me to perform at the c eremony. Drew, I don’t want to screw up on his big day. But that is highly unlikely, isn’t it? And as a wise man once told me, all that matters is it comes from the heart. This is my grandfather, dr. Sterling robertson. Granddad, this is curtis’ nephew, dr. Tj ashford. Hi. And his domestic partner, molly davis, esquire. Well, thank goodness for molly. We’re a little doctor heavy in this family.

[ Laughter ] Uh, excuse me. They’re playing our jam. Oh. Okay. Hold on.

[ Laughs ] All right. Oh, watch out now. What a dapper and distinguished gentlemen. Yes.

[ Indistinct chatter ] I would rather continue our conversation. Hm. You know the one about getting closer. Oh, yeah? Mm-hmm. Oh. So, uh, is everything okay? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I just got a lot on my mind. Uh-huh. And would one of those things be nikolas? How did you know? What was going on at the hospital earlier? What were you arguing about? Years ago, mac, sean, and I devised a plan to outwit ryan chamberlain. I was already dead, so he thought. So I haunted him in order to get his confession on tape. And it worked. And you think since he worked on ryan, that it’d be worth trying on victor? We have way better technology now. But in a nutshell, the strategy is torment, guilt, and compel. It’s worth a try, don’t you think? I mean, I already recorded a message from the great beyond earlier, so… wait a minute. You knew about this plan? Yeah, I did. Don’t be so dubious. Just hear us out. Well, there’s one minor flaw. What’s that? Your plan will never work on my father. Uncle victor, there has been enough manipulation in this family. This is a baby. This isn’t leverage. Oh, come on, spencer. Everything’s leverage if used in the right way. Well, my gaining custody of my sibling serves a higher purpose. It is to save my little brother or sister from my father. Now, you keep telling yourself that as long as you like. But from where I’m standing, I’m seeing a man finally tapping into his natural born instincts. You know, before I saw you, spencer, I was really quite bereft. Now, thanks to you, I have hope again. Is there anything I can do to get you to walk away right now? I am a very wealthy woman, and you can have money. Ava — you can have this house. You — you can have the gallery. What would I do with a gallery? I know that we don’t know each other very well, but I think that we understand some things. And I hope that, despite my history, I hope that you know that this is not who I am. Not anymore. Would you just — would you just give me some time to leave town with avery? Just — just give me some time to leave with my daughter. I’m going to stop you right now. Ava, there’s nothing that you can say that would change my mind.

You are looking way too serious for a blushing bride. Oh. You know, it’s not too late to back out. Oh, daddy. If there’s one thing I’m sure about, it’s curtis. I like him. Not sure if he deserves you, but he’ll do.

[ Both laugh ] And you wouldn’t be in the least bit biased. Oh. Would you? Oh, no, no.

[ Laughs ] You know, you have done nothing but made me proud. You are every father’s dream. You and that little granddaughter of mine.

[ Laughs ] I’m sorry. I got to go watch this.

[ Cheering ] Come on now!

[ Laughter ] How does she do it? How does she do it? Hey!

[ Laughter, chatter ] Nice of you to take my call. Anna and valentin are dead. News travels fast. Yes, my son was killed. Anna and your son were looking for lucy coe. Is she dead, as well? You assured me nobody would die. I didn’t sign up for this. You act as though you have some choice in the matter, eileen. You don’T. You work for me. You knew there were risks. I’m out. I’m no longer at your disposal. That is not your decision to make. You cross me, eileen, and getting caught will be the least of your worries. If you ‘re hoping to elicita confession from my father by playing on his guilt, you’re going to be disappointed. Yeah, you can’t shame the shameless, I suppose. Which is why I had to adjust the plan this time. Which part? The guilt part, the torment part, or the compel part? Oh, that all stays the same. I’m talking target. It’s not victor.

[ Static ] Anna: You’re next. You’re next, eileen. You’re next. You’re next. You’re next! Ava, I don’t belie vethat you wanted nikolas dead. Are you saying you’ll wait to report this? I’m saying I have no intention of reporting this at all. Why not? I’m not really clear on that just yet, but it feels right. And you helped me out when you didn’t have to. I don’t know. We’ve been talking about this. Families are complicated, right? And if victor is going to kill you if he finds out, then the only solution is for victor to never find out. What about laura and spencer? How do I — how do I keep it from them? Nikolas is dead. I’ll help you.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Steffy: I have this terrible feeling about my mom and I don’t know what to do.

Brooke: I wanna help taylor. Whatever she needs.

Steffy: She’s just carrying so much shame and guilt. She says there’s only one solution. Only one way to get sheila out of our lives for good. Says she confesses about shooting bill.

Taylor: Sheila carter’s a free woman, but she’s far from innocent. However, she’s not the only one whose crimes should be brought to justice. I am, too. I’m the person who shot bill spencer.

Hope: Thomas, are you asking me to put aside every horrible thing you’ve ever done?

Thomas: No, I am asking you to see the amazing things we can still do together. L– like, if you don’t trust me, then– then, and then trust my talent, trust my vision, trust my ability to take hope for the future to new heights.

Thomas: My granddad and zende are both incredible designers.

Hope: They are. And they put a lot of effort into this collection.

Thomas: I’m sure that they did, but they don’t have the connection to the collection that I do. That you do. That– that– this is our collection! That’s what makes it so special. That’s what you said! Come on, we are an amazing team. One of the best this company– no, nay, this industry has ever seen. Bring me back onto the line. Bring me back on as lead designer, hope.

Steffy: It’s too much for her, brooke. What my mom did to bill, it goes against all of her values. Of course, she wants to turn herself in, but we can’t let her do it. Oh, my god, I can’t believe I’m talking to you about this.

Brooke: I would never do anything to hurt your mother. She can count on me, steffy.

Steffy: I’m glad that you two have found this friendship. I feel crazy saying this, but honestly, I feel as though you might be the only person who can get through to my mom now.

Taylor: Oh. I’m so sorry. I’m gonna make this right.

[ Taylor sniffling ] What happened to you? Talk.

Thomas: You still have reservations.

Hope: That can’t surprise you, thomas.

Thomas: I disappointed you. I let you down.

Hope: Not just me. Our son. Your family.

Thomas: That was never my intention, and I’m so sorry.

Hope: Thomas, apologizing isn’t going to fix this. The damage has been done. I mean, I can’t believe you thought faking that cps call was going to destroy my mother’s marriage, and then send ridge running back to taylor, and–

Thomas: I was trying to give my mother the life she always wanted, okay? And that’s not an excuse, I’m not trying to justify what I did.

Hope: Thomas, don’t you realize that by you doing that, it completely destroyed the progress that you were making in your relationships with me, with your family, and most importantly, with your son.

Thomas: I– I never wanted douglas involved in this.

Hope: Well, he asked you to tell the truth, and you refused, and then you encouraged him to lie. So.

Thomas: I have thought about that every day since, okay? I haven’t just been sitting around waiting for all of this to pass. I’ve been working on myself, and been working through my issues. And not only that, I’ve been putting my time into things that I think are beautiful, and– and trying to be productive. And I’ve been creating these designs. That’s what’s come out of it, the– some of the best work that I’ve ever made! Bring me back on, hope, and those designs will be hope for the future’s next collection.

Hope: At this point, thomas? I mean, your promises don’t mean any more than your apologies do.

Thomas: That’s– no, that’s not true, okay? Let me show you. Let me show you the work I’ve been doing. They exemplify the– the– the beauty, the respect. The admiration I have for you and your work. Come on, hope. I’m not all just bad inside. I can create something good. Tell me you still believe in me, s– just say you still have faith in me.

Hope: Thomas, you have made it very clear what you want and why I should consider it. And believe me, I have. I have been thinking about it, and– and what it can mean for us, for douglas and for my line, and I know you want to know what I believe. So, I think it’s only fair to tell you how I feel about you.

Brooke: Your mother trusts me, steffy. You can, too.

Steffy: So what do I do, brooke? I need your input, because nothing I’ve said to my mother has made a difference.

Brooke: She loves you. She’s your mom. She’s not ignoring you.

Steffy: But she has this whole situation all wrong. It’s not her fault sheila is free. Yes, shooting bill all those years ago, it was a terrible mistake. But if my mother turns herself in, that will be the biggest mistake of all. I mean, she was never even a suspect! No one even knew that she was in town. There was no evidence to connect her to the crime. So why won’t she let this go? My mom’s starting to crumble, brooke, and it’s– it’s really… it’s really starting to scare me. My mom’s always been, you know, he rock in our family. Even when she was halfway across the world, I knew that I could call her, and she’d always be there to help us and support us. That’s what she did, that awful night at bill’s house. She went there to confront him. She thought that she was protecting me. And now it’s my time to protect her.

Brooke: You don’t have to do it alone.

Steffy: My mom thinks if she confesses, that it’ll make my family safe, but it won’T. Sheila is out of prison, and bill will use every bit of his influence to make sure sheila never goes back. My mom’s only hurting herself if she admits to it.

Brooke: I agree. I told her the same thing.

Steffy: I need you to tell her again.

Brooke: Well, if she knows I’m here, if she needs to talk–

Steffy: No, it’s– it’s beyond that now. My mother is alone at the beach house. She is stewing in her feelings. That’s not good for her.

Brooke: Okay. Okay. I hear you. I will go over there and I will check on her. Okay? I’ll do everything in my power to save your mother from herself.

Steffy: Mom,

you’re only human.

Taylor: I did a really awful, unforgivable thing.

Steffy: Mom, we are not gonna go there.

Taylor: Steffy, as supportive as you and brooke have been, it doesn’t change the fact that I– I shot someone, you know? And I was never accountable for it. Now all the people I love more than life are in danger, and that’s on me. I refuse to be a burden to you anymore.

Hope: You say that you want to help, but what I believe, thomas, is that you just want to help yourself. And I admit, I did. I had a brief moment of weakness when I read that less-than-stellar review, and I panicked and thought maybe hope for the future did need you and your designs, but then your sister was the one who pulled me back from the brink.

Thomas: Okay. Steffy is furious with me, but she has never been as dedicated to your line as I am.

Hope: Well. Steffy reminded me that hope for the future is founded in integrity and responsibility, and if I were to throw those values out the window, it would do more damage to my line than a few bad reviews ever could.

Thomas: You’re not throwing integrity out the window! You are all about giving second chances and seeing the best in people.

Hope: I need you to understand. We’re done. We aren’t partners anymore. We aren’t a team. I mean, you aren’t even supposed to be in this building right now.

Thomas: Did steffy come to you and just, like, force you to keep me out of here? Because I can go to her right now. I can convince her to bring me back on.

Hope: Thomas. Stop. You have to let this go. I mean– I meant what I said before. I’m done giving you a– a second, third, fourth or fifth chance. I’ve learned my lesson, thomas, and… I just– I can’t give you the benefit of the doubt anymore.

Taylor: There’s only one solution to make this right for everyone I love. I have to end it all. Now.

Finn: Steffy!

Steffy: Oh, my gosh. I am glad you’re here.

Finn: Ah. If I’d known we were alone.

Steffy: Yeah, um.

Finn: What’s going on? Something wrong? Is it sheila?

Steffy: She’s behind it, but no. It’s, um, it’s my mom.

Finn: Yeah, well, is she here?

Steffy: No! No, I– I tried to get her to stay, but…

Finn: Well, she should be staying with us. I mean, it’s a lot safer with sheila roaming around.

Steffy: I– I explained that. But I don’t know, she’s just– she’s pulling away from me, from everyone, and I keep saying that we are all in this together, but she is– she’s determined to fix this herself.

Finn: You mean, like, confess?

Steffy: Yeah. She brought it up again. And I keep picturing my mom at the beach house with her phone in her hand.

Finn: Okay, well, that’s another reason why she needs to be here.

Steffy: She keeps turning me down. I get that she doesn’t want to put us in danger, interfere in our lives, but she is talking about herself like she is a burden to us.

Finn: Is she at her house? We should drop in.

Steffy: Brooke’s on her way there now.

Finn: Why is brooke going to see your mom?

Steffy: Because brooke’s just as worried about my mother as we are.

[ Knocking on door ]

Brooke: Taylor? You home? It’s brooke. That’s strange. Lights are on. Car’s in the driveway. Oh. Really should keep the door locked with sheila on the loose. Taylor? You really need to keep the door locked. Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

[ Hope sighing ]

Thomas: I wasn’t trying to make you insecure about the line.

Hope: Well, I’m not. There might be a few bumps in the road during the transition, but hope for the future will eventually be fine without you.

Thomas: Is that what you want? The collection to just be fine?

Hope: Thomas, I really think you should go now.

Thomas: Okay. What I did has nothing to do with the company. I shouldn’t be shut out for it.

Hope: Thomas, please.

Thomas: You didn’t feel this way the other day.

Hope: Sure, fine! Yes, for one nanosecond, I– I might have lost my way and let my insecurities cloud my better judgment–

Thomas: Okay, there you go. So, you see what it’s like to– to want something so strongly for the future and do anything you can to protect it.

Hope: Thomas, you are going to have to rebuild so many bridges. I mean, with me, with this company, with your son.

Thomas: I– I wanted to call and talk to him, but I just– I didn’t know what you would say.

Hope: We– we are going to have to have some difficult conversations about douglas and his future.

Thomas: Great. So let’s talk about that, then. Come on, I– I’m trying to find some common ground.

Hope: Thomas, I have so much work that I need to do, and I– I really can’t handle this conversation right now. I’ve said everything that I need to say.

Thomas: But you haven’t said anything. I need you to tell me something. Like, tell me what you want me to do.

Hope: Okay, thomas. I want you to leave. Please.

Steffy: My mom just feels so guilty right now. She gets emotional talking about it. I thought I might have a little more luck if I wasn’t there.

Finn: It’s just– it’s still– it’s just, it’s weird that brooke is reaching out to your mom.

Steffy: Well, they’re friends now. I mean, yeah, it– it is… it is weird, but–

Finn: Well, I mean, maybe it’s good, too.

Steffy: Look, my mom needs as many people in her corner as she can get right now. Finn, I just have an awful feeling about this, and I haven’t been able to shake it. My mom is reaching her breaking point, and I just pray. I pray that– that brooke’s able to get through to her.

Brooke: Taylor?

Taylor: I’ve been so grateful to be back in los angeles. Spending time with my family has meant everything to me. But my past has come out to me, and my actions have put my family in danger. I’ve kept silent for too long, and now the truth needs to come out, if only to save my family. There’s only one solution to make this right for everyone I love. This all has to end. Now.

Brooke: Oh. What are you doing, taylor?

[ Brooke sighing ] Oh, my god. Oh, my god! Taylor? Taylor!

[ Brooke gasping ] My god. Taylor! Taylor!

TV Interview!

Connor Floyd of "The Last Deal" and "The Young and The Restless" on CBS

Interview with Connor Floyd of the movie “The Last Deal” and “The Young & The Restless” on CBS by Suzanne 2/3/23

It was great to speak with Connor! We had a fun – but brief – chat. He has a small part in this new movie, “The Last Deal,” which is an action thriller starring Anthony Molinari.  To be fair, everyone’s part in this is pretty small, aside from Molinari. The only other actor that has many lines in the movie is Mister Fitzgerald, who plays Bobby.  Connor’s role last for just a few minutes.  He’s a young actor, still building his resume. Right now most of his work is on “The Young & The Restless,” where he plays Chance. I was happy to speak to him about both the film and the show.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Days of Our Lives logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Well, I figured we got a strategy session ahead. We better load up on caffeine. Nice. Thank you, man.

Mm. Roman, are you sure you’re okay with this? Which part? They’re going after Orpheus part. I thought it was clear about. We’ve already lost the women we love thought of him coming after our kids, our grandkids. I won’t let another person die at the hands of that many amen. And the only way to stop him is to put ’em on the ground.

Okay, only a question remaining is how do we want to do it?

I thought you could use that, but don’t worry now that your, uh, killjoy of a brother isn’t around to deprive you, you’ll actually get to enjoy it.

Hey, sunny, do you, um, do you have a minute? I just wanna talk about the, um,

oh, all those beautiful smiling faces you. Golly. Thank you. You. Chad. Hi. Are you all alright, Julie? I’m fine. We were just going through these old photo albums and the memories got to be a little overwhelming, the end of the feeling. Of course you do. I think of all beautiful people we have lost. I just hope they’ve found peace.

What the hell? Oh my God. Are you telling me that all this time? I wasn’t talking to Susan Banks? No. Marlena, you weren’t.

You were talking to me, Nick Fallon.

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Nick Fallon, the one and only. I hope you’ll forgive the deception, but I was afraid if I had revealed my true form to you, none of you would’ve given me the time of day. You made me believe that you, I was your beloved sister-in-law, Adrian. Yes. Pardon me for you, Marlena. I took the form of your simple, but recently deceased friend Susan Banks.

And for you, Kate, I pose as Jordan Ridgeway. Anything to keep you off balance? Hmm. Mission accomplished. Why are you here? Why are we here?

Isn’t it obvious I needed you to sign these?

How we kill, if this isn’t the hard part, how we get next to him. That’s the real challenge. True. Locking him up may not have kept us safe from him, but it sure as he’ll keeps him safe from us. Yeah. You can’t just stroll in a prison with a gun. Well, maybe not, but there are ways to get close to the bastard how?

Well, the easiest way to get next to a prisoner is to go to prison yourself. So what are you doing? Are you proposing that one of us gets locked up with orthos? Yeah, me. Oh, come on, partner. Don’t partner me. I’m the best man for the job. I have a criminal record. All I have to do is commit the right crime.

Plead guilty. I’m on my way to Statesville to get up close and personal with Orpheus. Go ahead, take a drink. Yeah, I mean, this is the good stuff. Well, as good as you’re gonna find around here, ain’t we? Well now you’ll enjoy it, won’t you? You sure? Yeah. Suit yourself. Just trying to cheer you up. I mean, you’ve been walking around here like you’ve got a dark cloud over your head.

Can’t imagine why I’d be in a bad mood. Oh wait, yeah, I remember now. It’s because my mom is dead. Sorry for your loss. I’m sure you are. Well, you know what? At least I could take some satisfaction to knowing we’re in here together. Oh,

so you’re, you are, uh, glad that to have the opportunity to spend some, uh, quality time with me, are you? If it were up to me, I’d watch Burn in Hell, but this is the next best thing, justice. Justice. My mother may have lost her life, but at least I know her killer will never breathe a breath of fresh air ever again.

I understand your, your anger. Lucas. I sympathize only one problem. I’m not the one who killed your mother.

So you just wanna commit a crime in order to get close to Orpheus. That’s a general idea. Mm-hmm. , didn’t you have any specific transgression in mind? Well, it would have to be something serious enough to get me sent to Orpheus to cell block. Maybe a good old fashioned b and e. What are you gonna break into for Knocks?

I thought I’d shoot lower than that. How would you feel about me, uh, breaking into this place and taking a few bucks from the till? Well, I don’t think breaking into your in-law’s pub. We’ll get you a cell next to a murder of StuG, like not a chance. Now you’re gonna need to have a serious offense for that.

Yeah. Okay. Alright, hold on. What if you don’t actually have to commit the crime? How would that work? To be honest, I’m not sure. But if you can get to trash, convince her that you need to get close to work is for whatever reason, she’s not your big fan, she might be happy to send you away. Okay. And, and when she asked you why exactly does Steve need to get close to a prisoner in Statesville?

That’s the one to put in there, right? Well, maybe she would want our fees to pay for his crimes, but I doubt she’d sign off on his cold-blooded murder. Well, that’s true. And that is, uh, the problem with that idea. All right, we’re scratching that one out right now. Okay, gentlemen, we’re back to square one.

Let’s go. Okay. We need to find an honest way, so to speak, to get me sent to prison. No guarantee that works. Either you can go out tomorrow, commit the perfect crime, plead guilty. It’ll be months before they send you to state. That’s a. Besides, once you take the bastard out, we can’t get you out of jail.

You’re gonna spend years of your life behind bars. Kayla wouldn’t want touch. No, neither would doc. Neither would Kate. So we’re done with that idea here. Steve, your family needs you. Hasn’t that son of a bitch taking enough away from us already? Of course you killed her. You poisoned her. You sadistic bastard, just like you did Marlena and Kayla.

Oh, I, I don’t deny that, but. Probably well aware. That was the culmination of the war that began a long, long time ago. But that’s old news. Your mother was cured of her ailment months ago, as were the others. She was in remission. She wasn’t cured. What semantics? My point is, had they continued to receive treatment from that rather remarkable orchid, they would’ve all gone on to.

Long productive lives. She and her friends, no. She and her friends are gone. They’re dead and they’re never coming back. That’s because of you, right? You might want to take that up with Kristen Damara. She’s the one who withheld the serum. She didn’t withhold anything. Kristen didn’t do that. I don’t know why all of a sudden she decided to do the right thing.

Why? She wanted to do something admirable, but she was gonna hand it over until somebody stole it. Who? No, there’s your culprit. So why didn’t you? And the rest of you guys chase down the, uh, dastardly orchid thief because we don’t have any idea who it is. Oh, well. So rather than lashing out at me, perhaps you should reserve some of your anger for Ray Hernandez and is Mary Band of Bozos.

Come on, Lucas. If the Salem PD had done its job, you’d know exactly who signed the death. For your mother.

You okay? Yeah. I, I was just expecting to find Sunny in here. Well, it’s understandable. It’s his office, right? So is he around? No. No. He took the day off. Spending the day with Will. I am just following his desk and handling any uh, Titan business that’s pressing. Do you want me to take a look at something?

No, it’s okay. It’s okay. It’s private or it’s just the PR strategy for our new publishing subsidiary. It’s not due for another week, so we can wait. Beating deadline by a full week. You’re really on it. I’m just trying to stay busy these days. Right.

Um, so if you could just tell Sunny I dropped it off. Okay. You got it. Thanks.

Something else? I read your card.

You know, I used to love going through the old photo albums, but the older I get, the more I realize how many people that we’ve lost, people are dug, and I never expected to outlive. Please, you guys are gonna outlive us all. , you know, I’m almost a hundred Chad. Well, age is just a number. I agree. Hang on. I cherish every single moment I have with you

And with all the people I love, I just wish, I wish all of them could have been as lucky as we are. Me too. Love. Yeah. I miss ’em all, all taken before their time. Even the ones whose lives are spinning out of control,

like my poor, tortured cousin Nick.

Um, what are those? You don’t recognize them? You, you, you just handed them to me. Well, Susan told me that I had to sign that to get to the next level of. Right. Adrian told me the same thing. Okay. Well you were all told that, but we were all talking to you at the same time. Yeah. So time and space work a little differently here, but it sounds like you’re catching on.

Okay. What is this all about and, and why are you collecting the signatures? Is this really about moving to the next phase? Well, I’m, I’m so sorry, ladies, but what I told you was not exactly true. You weren’t signing some boring, bureaucratic paperwork. You were actually signing a contract. Yeah. What kind of contract?

Oh, you, you, you didn’t read it before you, before you signed it. Well, I mean, you made me think that you were Adrian and that I could trust you. Did I? Okay. Well, let me give you the, the short version of it, because what I have here in my hands are contracts of sale. Sale. We’re kind. Oh, well, Kate, uh, each of you has just sold me probably the most valuable commodity you possess.

Um, namely your souls.

Those contracts we signed, we sold you our souls. Wait, are you telling us you’re the devil?

That’s really good. That’s really good. No, I’m flattered. It’s really, but that’s a different, uh, that’s a different guy, right? Marla? Yes. You just work for him? I do. I do. You know, he’s not a bad boss, surprisingly. Just as long as you do his bidding like a good minion and, and don’t ask too many questions. He misses you by the way.

I’m touched. So anyway, the big guy is very busy, as you can imagine, being the devil. So he dispatched me in order to sign over your souls . Frankly, I thought it was gonna be a lot more difficult. Honestly, it was easy. It was really, it was really, really easy. But um, yeah, there are your signatures. Bolds can be Kate.

So now there’s nothing left to do but collect.

You can try to pass the blame all you want, but my mother’s death is on your head. And Marlena’s. And Kalis. And you know what? If they hadn’t been infected in the first place, they never would’ve needed the damn cure. A cure, which they had until it was stolen. Mm-hmm. . It’s funny how life works. I don’t think it’s funny.

Nothing funny about it. Nothing at all. Funny as in peculiar, Lucas, someone set something in motion, someone else responds to that and leads to consequences. No one could have. Is that for you? Because you know what? You knew what was gonna happen. You wanted him dead. Hmm. Oh, Lucas, I feel like we’re talking in circles and I’m getting rather bored, frankly.

I just remembered I’m wandering the kitchen for, uh, mop duty. Oh, good. Go do your mop duty. I hope you fall on your face. I hope you break your neck. Oh, now Lucas, that’s. That’s not very neighborly of you, but I’m not gonna take it personally because I know you’re going through a traumatic time for fella, which is why I was just trying to help.

I hate to see you suffer.

You write my card. Thank you for writing it and for the apology.

I meant every word. I have never regretted anything more in my life than I regret turning your phone off that night, Steph, and I am truly, truly sorry. I believe you and I appreciate everything you said, but not enough to give me another chance.

I’m sorry, I just, I don’t think we can go back to what we had before. Too much has happened. Is that because of my turning your phone off? Or because you slept with Chad?

I still think about him all the time and what went wrong. I’m still grieving for Nick. If he was on this earth, I would. I would try to help him reckon with what he did, but he’s gone. It’s gonna take a far higher power. Judge Nick Honey, I think if there’s any justice at all, he will suffer for his sins in the afterlife.

One can only hope that Marlena, Caden Kayla’s killer will suffer the same fate.

You know, maybe we’re making this more complicated than it has. Seems pretty complicated all on its own. We don’t need to be in Statesville for the long haul. We just need to be there long enough to have a moment alone with Orpheus. So you mean we just visited Prisoners have visitation, we put a request in, we head on out there, presumably just to shoot the breeze with him.

Once we get along with the guy, we take him out. That would cut out a lot of steps, including me committing a felony just to get on the inside. Come on guys. You know how the security that that prison is, you can’t just walk in that room with a weapon. They’ve got guard stationed everywhere, Roman. You know that weapons come in many different forums.

We can figure that out. Yeah. John and I have threaded smaller needles than that in the past. Yeah, fair enough. But what happens when a guy turns up dead after one of us visits him? What? Then let’s worry about the consequences after we accomplish our mission. Right now, I just want that human stain removed from the land of the living.

What’s going on here? Roman? I thought you were on board with. I am on board with killing Orpheus. I’m not on board with that six son of a bitch taking the rest of our lives. Alright, well listen, we’re brainstorming here. If you’ve got any ideas, let’s hear ’em. You’ve known Milo harp longer than any of us.

How do we waste the guy without sacrificing our own freedom or for stars? We can’t come directly at Orpheus. Can’t look that way. Or we get caught and that’s not exactly vindication. Agreed. Agreed. So what are you suggesting, Roman? That we come at him indirectly.

When I brought you the card and the flowers, your door was open. I wasn’t trying to look, but there you are with Chad, right in my line of sight. And I saw you kissing. You were there. I was there, Steph, but I didn’t stick around. No. I got the message loud and clear. That’s why I left everything outside the door and I took off.

I thought I heard something. I, I figured it was just the wind. Ah, no, not the wind, just me. But if that wasn’t enough to convince. Seeing you and Chad together like that. I actually ran into Chad this morning and he was still wearing yesterday’s clothes, so I did the math, Alex, and before you go on to tell me that it didn’t happen.

Wow. I wasn’t going to deny it. I have no reason to lie to you, Morgan. I’m sorry, what were you gonna say? I just wanted to say that that wasn’t planned. Chad Knight, we’d gotten close. I spent time with him and the kids, but he was still grieving, as you know. He wasn’t in a place to be in a relationship.

And then last night he showed up at my door and said that he was finally ready to move on. Wow. That’s good timing since you were available,

ladies. Okay. No need to grab. Okay. I have looked at a lot of contracts in my day and there are always loopholes. Nothing is airtight. Well, I think you’ll find the terms are laid out quite clearly. Do you know how many lawyers the devil has working for ’em? Basically all of them. There are no terms though.

This is old gibberish. Well, what do you expect? He doesn’t write in English. I mean, he was around before English was invented. . Well then none of this should be valid. Oh no. Trust me, it’s, it’s valid. Your souls belong to Satan. Okay. Okay, fine. We sold our souls. All right, so what do we get in return? Excuse me.

While contracts mean, contracts go both ways. If we sell you something, we get something in return. You see in every story that I’ve ever heard, when the devil offers to buy your soul, he, he tends to offer you some sort of earthly reward. Yeah. Like fame or fortune or something that you always wanted. Go ahead.

I’m, I’m gonna sit down, but I’m, I’m, I’m listening. Well, in the movies, the person has given their. When they’re alive. Yes, of course. I mean, isn’t that really the point? It’s only after you die that the devil comes and takes you to help. Right. You know what I’m feeling right now is, is that I should have watched more movies when I was alive because they sound amazing.

Alright, what is your answer? I’m sorry. What was the, what was the question? Eh? The question is if we sold our souls, what do we get in return? Right, right. You are absolutely right. I do owe you something. I owe you a reward. And it’s true. You’re gonna get it after you died. I think that you’re gonna find it was well worth the place.

Okay. This one for you? Oops. One for you? Yeah. And one for you.

What the hell is this? It’s crisp. $2 bill. We sold our souls for $2. No, no, no, no. Not $2. A $2 bill first issued by the US meat in 1862 initially thought to be very, very, very valuable. Though so rarely circulated, they ended up becoming more of an obsolete Curiosity, much like your souls, this is ridiculous.

This is useless. This is not a reward. It’s insane. It’s pathetic. Okay, ladies, that is valid US currency able to be exchanged for goods and services alike in, in many countries, not just united. Instead of a bitch, you son of a bitch. Okay. How exactly do we go after Orpheus? Indirectly easy. We’ve already got somebody who states us, somebody who hate.

As much as we do Lucas, Lucas, . You want us to ask Lucas to take out Orpheus? You know what? Lucas lost his mom. I can only imagine. He’s just as furious as we are and desperate for revenge. Lucas is certainly not above committing the crime after what he did to Sammy, but I’m not talking about asking to do our dirty work.

Then what are you asking him to do? For now, just provide a little intel. Lucas is a savvy guy. I have a feeling he has a few ideas how to get to horses.

Let’s talk first steps. First step. I pay my stepson friendly visit.

That was our wedding day. Mm-hmm. . It’s the happy day of my life. a, a yellow, so radiant with love and joy. Yeah. I thought that we would have enough memories to fill 10 of these.

Darling,

I spoke with Jack about how, how worried Doug and I have been about you. We know you’re still deep in pain and we understand. We understand that, that that pain will never go away entirely. We are hoping and praying that somehow, someday you’re able to find love again.

Jack and I actually just talked about that. He told me, he said he was encouraging you to move on

Yeah. I mean, yeah, it, um, we talked, it was helpful. It’s kind of new, but I’ve started seeing Stephanie Johnson. All right. Wonderful. Wonderful.

You think so? I do. She’s lovely. More importantly, she has a big heart. She’s smart. And you know, Thomas and Charlotte simply adore her. And when I’ve seen you with. Your spirit seems lighter. Yes. Yes. I think you’d be good together.

I’m glad to hear you say that. I wish you all the happiness. We have been in desperate need of some good news and this, this is definitely good news.

I didn’t know if Chad would ever be ready to move on, and then you and I got together, but now you’re. Because of what I did, and I accept that I made a terrible mistake that I can’t take back. And I wish I could give you another chance to talk to your mom, but I can’t do that either. And as hard as it’s gonna be for me to get past my mistake.

Alex, listen. You know how hurt I was. Turning off my phone, but not getting to say goodbye to my mom stuff if I had any idea. I mean, no, I know. I know. I understand. You didn’t do it on purpose. It’s just a case of really bad timing. Yeah.

If we were just talking. You and me our relationship. Maybe I could try to get past it, but

the thing is now there’s something between Chad and me

and I wanna see where it goes.

Okay, this is a crap deal. It’s not fair and you know it. You know we are not going anywhere with you. I’m no lawyer, but I can tell you, since none of us knew what we were signing, that the deal cannot be binding. You three need to open your minds. Okay? We’re not in some stuffy courtroom in Salem. We’re in the great beyond.

Here. I have final word. Uh, no you don’t. Excuse me. Mm. You told us yourself that you only work for the devil. So you see what we’re gonna do is do the proverbial end run Iran. You right. Ooh. End run. Wow. Ah-huh. . We demand to talk to your.

Well, thank you. Thank you for being honest with me and making your feelings very clear. I didn’t know if what was happening between you and Chad was a, a one time thing or what we’re, we’re taking it day by. I don’t know what the future holds for us, but I’m hopeful.

I got it. Just so you know, Steph, I’m not gonna keep bothering you anymore. I’m not, I’m not gonna be sending you cards if flowers are begging for you to come back to me. I, I’m just not, you know, I’m, I’m not gonna be serenading you at your window. I’m good.

And as far as, uh, everything with Titan, um, son’s still the ceo. He, he can still handle whatever you need, whatever you bring to him. Yeah, I think that’s best, at least for a little while. And maybe once we’re through my mom’s funeral and once things have settled down a bit, maybe we can, why? Still be front

this seat taken. Oh, hey. Hey Roman. Um, what are you doing here? Well, what do you think I came to see? You came for a visit. I didn’t think you’d ever wanna see me or talk to me again after, after what I did to Sammy. Well, I am still pretty angry about what you did to my daughter, but no matter what you’ve done, you’re still Kate’s son.

And I know she would hate the thought of you spending all your days in here alone. So here I am.

Thank you. Thanks. It means a lot to me. Of course. Are you holding. Not good. It’s getting to me. I’m falling apart. It’s miserable in here. Only to top it off. I just had a run in with Orpheus.

You wanna speak with the devil? Yes. Yes. We wanna speak with the devil. Well actually, We demand to speak to him. That’s right. I think that’s a great idea. And I’ve spent years battling him from my very soul, my very existence. So I don’t think it’s too much to ask to have him come and turn out this contract.

Otherwise you’re going to have to tell him that you fell down on the job. Because you see, unless we speak with the Prince of Darkness, we are going nowhere.

No more trips down memory lane. Doug is making lunch for us in the kitchen. That one’s a keeper. You know, I think the marriage is gonna work out.

Darling, I hope you do find happiness. You deserve it.

I know you said that all you ever cared about was that the kids and I are happy. What? You wanted me to move on.

I just wish that there was some way that I could know you were actually okay.

Do you remember? We used to imagine that, that we would be like Doug and.

Be back at a lifetime shade together.

I know how much you love Stephanie.

She makes me happy. Happy. Kids too, and for the first time since I lost you, I’m able to look forward to the future.

As wonderful as that future may be, there’s always gonna be a part that’s missing

no matter who comes into my life. No one will ever replace you.

I’m sure. The last thing you wanna hear me say is that I wanna be your friend. I just don’t want you to think that I hate you because I don’t.

I am glad

we had a good time together, didn’t we? We did.

Stephanie, I am sorry. Sorry about your mother. I’m sorry about everything.

Thank you.

Actually, ramen won’t mind at serving ourself. Ah, thanks,

son. Mine, partner. What you mean? Besides our pat to kill Morpheus. You’re not having second thoughts now, are you Not Morpheus, Roman. I mean, he wasn’t on board with any of this at first, but yet he is the one who’s out at Statesville. I know what you’re saying, but the fact is he’s less compromised than you and I are

not easy living with blood on your hands. Roman’s a grown man. He made his own decision and with any luck, Lucas will make the same one. So huge shot Murphy. Yeah, he was sitting in the same chair you are right now. He’s trying to push alcohol on me. Okay. You didn’t? No, I didn’t. Okay. I need you to do me a favor and get rid of this for me as soon as you can.

Alright? Of course. Yeah. Uh, what was he trying to accomplish with us besides torturing me? I mean, that’s what he does. He ruins people’s lives. You know, that not only did he kill my mom, but he’s trying to get me to fall off the wagon. But I’m not gonna do it. I am not gonna give him the satisfaction.

Excellent. Lucas. Maybe it wouldn’t be such a bad idea if you did.

Are we going to stand here looking at each other, or are you going to take our request to the devil? Make the call Nick. Ugh, you’re all just delaying the inevitable, but fine. I will relay your request. In the meantime, might I offer you a little re paste?

Very kind. Enjoy, because I guarantee you things are about to get a lot. Unpleasant.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sally: Nick, please say something. I mean, I don’t — I don’t know what you would say after finding out that your brother could be the father of this baby. I really can’t imagine what you’re thinking.

Nick: [ Sighs ] I mean, what you said about adam…

Sally: Yeah?

Nick: I was just wondering who was gonna bring it up first.

Tucker: Hey, adam. Been a minute.

Adam: Yeah, it has. Been staying out of trouble.

Tucker: That’s good. There’s just too many choices here. I can’t — I can’t make a decision. It’s impossible.

Adam: Well, everything’s delicious here, so you really can’t go wrong.

Tucker: What brings you here? Brownies? Sharon?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Coffee.

Tucker: Mm-hmm.

Adam: Contemplation.

Tucker: Ah, yes, yes, yes. Are you meeting somebody or…?

Adam: Just me tonight.

Tucker: Cool. Well, in that case, let me buy you that coffee…and a brownie.

Lily: Can I just go on record saying that any day that includes a casual conversation about a lawsuit is…

Jill: I don’t like it any more than you do.

Lily: Are you sure that holding on to devon’s half of the company is worth all of this trouble?

Jill: I thought we were on the same page, that if we let him buy it back, it will devalue our company.

Lily: No. I know. I know. I just — [ Sighs ] I just wish there were a better alternative.

Jill: So did I. Look, I appreciate how difficult this is for you, watching your brother be so egocentric, ’cause this whole thing has turned into the devon show. It’s about him, his father, his company, his feelings, versus all those legal documents he signed.

Lily: Well, look, I think it’s more complicated than that. I don’t know. There is a part of me that can understand why devon wants to pull out of this merger.

Jill: And is that the same part of you that can’t stand the thought of losing your father’s company?

Lily: Well, look, I mean, of course I want to maintain that connection to his legacy. But I think what hurts most is that I couldn’t keep my family together as part of that company. And on that front, I failed.

Daniel: Hey.

Devon: Hey, man. How you doing?

Daniel: Oh, where do I begin?

[ Chuckles ]

Devon: Yeah? You had a long day?

Daniel: You could say that.

Devon: Why don’t you take a load off?

Daniel: You know what? I don’t mind if I do.

Devon: Would you like to talk about it?

Daniel: Well, you know, for starters, my whole life has been revolving around this gaming platform. Outside of my kid, it’s been my sole purpose for being. Now everything just seems like it’s in limbo.

Devon: I take it lily filled you in on what’s going on at chancellor-winters?

Daniel: Yeah, I heard some things.

Devon: And, uh, you probably think that I’m responsible for your project being put on hold, right?

Daniel: As a matter of fact, I do. I’m still moving toward what’s next.

[ Both laugh ]

Tessa: Ooh.

Mariah: You know, I’m always telling people that you take me to the coolest places in the city.

Tessa: Ugh, god.

Mariah: [ Laughs ]

Tessa: I would accuse you of making mom jokes, but you’ve always been cheesy.

Mariah: Ah.

Tessa: Ahh! You always bring me to the perfect spots.

Mariah: Well, you know, sometimes when you can’t get any sleep, you just got to throw out the rulebook and break the body’s expectations.

Tessa: Oh, is that how you’re gonna put our baby to sleep at night?

Mariah: After she’s born, which could be a matter of days from now.

Tessa: Ah! I just can’t believe it.

Mariah: She’s gonna be the coolest girl in the whole world.

Tessa: I mean, with us as parents, she has no choice.

Mariah: [ Laughs ] I’m thinking one part dreamer, one part fighter, and any time she’s overwhelmed or can’t sleep, she’s gonna take a long walk outside and look at the stars. She’s gonna grow up with so much love.

Tessa: That’s the luckiest girl in the world. She’s gonna change our lives forever…for the better.

[ Breathes deeply ]

Jill: All I can tell you is that I know what it feels like to have regrets about professional decisions I’ve made. Back when I worked at jabot, when I was head of the men’s line, my complicated history with john and jack forced me to make certain business decisions that I wouldn’t have otherwise made. And they weren’t always for the best. But I learned to stand up again, dust myself off, and focus on the task at hand. And I think I have a lot to be proud of.

Jill: Well, I don’t know if i can be proud of my inability to get devon to stick around.

Jill: Don’t focus on that. Your drive and your determination are what is moving this company forward. And I have no doubt that you’re gonna lead us to even greater heights once we go public. This is an opportunity. It’s an opportunity for you to lead unencumbered again.

Jill: But we still have to look out for devon because he is furious and in protective mode.

Jill: Devon is the one who should be worried. This merger has been in place for months. He can’t just say, “I’ve changed my mind, game over.” That isn’t how it works. Our two companies are intertwined, both legally and functionally. Plus, we offered him a very lucrative buyout.

Lily: Yeah. And he refused.

Jill: He simply has no legal standing for what he’s asking. So, why the hell is he putting all of us through this when there’s only one way this will end?

Devon: Let me just say you’re not wrong ’cause I am probably the main reason that your project isn’t moving forward right now. But what’s happening is complicated, and there’s just a lot of moving parts and a lot of factors.

Daniel: Mm-hmm. Look, I understand that. I do. I mean, my professional future is hanging in the balance here.

Devon: Right.

Daniel: I need this.

Devon: No, I know you do, and I completely get where you’re coming from. And I don’t want to be the one to hold you back, either, ’cause I believe that, even if chancellor can’t make omega sphere happen, any company with half a brain will scoop up your project.

Daniel: But I came to chancellor because I wanted to work with the two of you.

Devon: Well, I mean, you can be honest with me about that.

Daniel: Meaning?

Devon: Meaning you only wanted to really develop the project with lily. Life cuisine is extra.

Tessa: Okay, let’s go through the list.

Mariah: What list?

Tessa: The baby list. I want to make sure we have everything.

Mariah: Oh. Uh, okay. Uh…crib.

Tessa: Okay.

Mariah: Rocking chair. Car seat?

Tessa: Ready in the car and ready to be filled.

Mariah: Awesome. Uh, okay…bottles, bottle sanitizer, wipes, formula, diapers?

Tessa: Check, check, check.

Mariah: Okay.

Tessa: Sharon told me that no matter how many bibs and burp cloths we have, we will need more.

Mariah: Then let’s put it on the list.

Tessa: Okay.

Mariah: Hey, I know I’ve been giving you hell about managing this list. It’s just you’re so good at it. You’re so dedicated and fastidious.

Tessa: [ Chuckles ]

Mariah: And now we don’t have to worry ’cause we have everything we need.

Tessa: [ Sighs ] We don’t have everything.

Mariah: We don’t?

Tessa: No. There is one very important thing that we have left undone and we need to take care of. And I really hope that we see eye to eye on this one.

Adam: Thank you. Ah, well, look at us. “Genoa city’s villains get their just dessert.”

Tucker: [ Chuckles ] Ba-dum-bum.

Former villain.

Adam: Right. Well, at least nobody can accuse us of drinking coffee alone.

Tucker: Mm. The peaceful man… the peaceful man is frequently alone, but never lonely.

Adam: You don’t say.

Tucker: Mm-hmm. I’ll bet you haven’t had a night of peace in ages.

Adam: You would not be wrong.

Tucker: If you seek enlightenment…

[ Clicks tongue ]

Adam: I’m supposed to confess my sins and get some kind of absolution?

Tucker: Well, may I offer my own truths.

Adam: Knock yourself out.

Tucker: Perhaps you and I are here in this moment of time together ’cause we’re so alike. I have been trying to evolve. I’ve been trying to become the man I’m supposed to be, that i should be. And yet I continue to misjudge situations and underestimate the people in my life. I’d always believed that being honest was gonna hinder my cause for some reason, so I employed subterfuge. And it has bitten me in the ass.

Adam: You know, when you came back to town, you said something about reuniting with devon and meeting dom, maybe starting something up with ashley again.

Tucker: Good memory.

Adam: Mm-hmm. And yet here you are, party of one. Ashley’s in paris. She left rather abruptly. Pretty big surprise to everybody at jabot.

Tucker: Yeah. Well, my feelings were sincere, but I was just [Chuckles] — I was an arrogant son of a bitch. I thought I knew more than everyone, more than the people i loved. And I lost big time.

Sally: You already knew that there was a chance that adam could be the father?

Nick: Yeah. I mean, it, uh — it occurred to me a while ago.

Sally: You didn’t say anything.

Nick: I didn’t want freak you out.

Sally: I’ve been freaked out since the beginning.

[ Both laugh ]

Nick: Yeah. Um… I just figured whenever you were ready, you would bring it up. You’re running this show, sally. I’m totally cool following your lead.

Sally: I’m really sorry i didn’t tell you sooner, just like I’m sorry I waited to tell you that I was pregnant. You’ve really been amazing. And I just — I — I realized tonight that I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror anymore until I was completely honest with you.

Nick: Yeah. I-I get it, you know? I, um… I did the math. You think there’s a chance adam has, too, and suspects something?

Sally: I don’t know.

Nick: I mean, I was right there when he asked you point blank what was wrong with you. He knows you haven’t been yourself lately.

Sally: Yeah, I, um… I don’t know. Things have been awkward for me around adam. I was hoping maybe he would think it was normal ’cause we’re exes and I’m seeing his brother. And — and no matter how well adam reads me, there’s no reason for him to jump to the baby conclusion.

Nick: Okay.

Sally: And just so you know, so there’s not any doubt, there was only that one time with adam in december. There’s been nothing since.

Nick: I believe you. Hey, what’s bothering you now?

Sally: It’s just that last time with adam… I knew it was never gonna work with him. Fate wouldn’t be that cruel, right? To make adam the father when it’s finally completely over?

Nick: I don’t know. Um, fate can sometimes have an interesting sense of humor. I’ve been down this road before. Boy, have I. It’s not easy for anyone.

Sally: So, what do we do?

Nick: Just strap on our seatbelts and see where this ride takes us.

Sally: You’re just leaving? Who says you have to spend more on skincare

Nick: I mean, I’m not leaving because I’m angry. I’m leaving ’cause I got to get home to christian and you need to get some rest.

Sally: Do you remember that thing that you told me that you used to do with christian before bedtime?

Nick: Spraying under his bed for monsters.

Sally: Yeah. Convince me that I’m just making all this stuff up in my head because I’m still worried that you’re angry.

Nick: I mean, for that, you’re gonna need, like, the first class super duper extra strength spray.

Sally: [ Laughs ]

Nick: I’m not mad at you or adam or the baby or the situation. Sally, this doesn’t change one thing for us or how I feel about you.

Sally: That’s very sweet of you.

Nick: Well, it’s the truth.

Sally: Yeah, but just because you say nothing’s gonna change doesn’t mean it won’T. And it’s nothing against you. It’s just life. You know, it’s messy and uncertain.

Nick: Are you serious? Messy and uncertain? It’s like my specialty. I’m solid. Just please don’t worry about it, alright? I just want you to focus on yourself and your baby. And you do that by getting rest.

Sally: This bed does look really inviting.

Nick: Well, then let’s get you in there.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: There you go. There we go. Get comfy.

Sally: [ Sighs ] I might actually be able to get some sleep tonight because, honestly, keeping that secret from you was destroying me.

Nick: Well, let that be a lesson. Always come clean.

Sally: Thank you.

Nick: You want me to leave you some of my monster spray? I have cases of it.

Sally: Yeah, can you leave some by the bedside?

Nick: I might do that. Better?

Sally: Much.

Mariah: We have discussed every baby issue from multiple angles. Why wouldn’t we agree?

Tessa: Because this is an important decision. And this baby doesn’t have the most crucial thing in the world.

Mariah: This baby is gonna have two loving parents and a whole messy bunch of family and friends. What more could she need?

Tessa: A name.

Mariah: Oh. That.

Tessa: Look, I know we put it off because we didn’t want to get our hopes up.

Mariah: Ugh. I know. It’s just naming her — that makes everything so very, very real. And it also makes all of the bad what-ifs real, too.

Tessa: No. No. We are not gonna give those oxygen because in just a few days we are gonna bring our baby girl into the world. And we can’t just bring her into the house and call her “baby.”

Mariah: Yeah, agreed. Okay, let’s get to work.

Daniel: Thank you.

Devon: That’s on me, by the way.

Daniel: Oh, no, no, no. Please. I couldn’T. I might be dead in the water over at chancellor, but, um, i can still afford to pay for my own drinks. But thank you.

Devon: You got it, man. And listen, the only thing i meant by saying that you only want to work with lily is just ’cause it’s — it’s natural. You gravitate towards people you know, and you and lily — you clearly have a lot of history, so it makes sense. That’s it. And I don’t see a reason why you and her can’t move forward with chancellor once the dust settles.

Daniel: Sure, but I mean, now there’s no guarantees, right?

Devon: Well, I mean, you’re only hearing lily’s side of things.

Daniel: [ Breathes deeply ] You know what? What I know is that lily is going through hell because of your decision to bust up this merger, and I’m not just talking about this because of what’s at stake for me. I mean, come on, man. I just can’t fathom, like, that you would want to hurt her this way.

Devon: I don’t want to hurt her this way. I’m not trying to hurt her, daniel. You don’t know the full story.

Daniel: You’re right. I do not know all the ins and outs, but what I do know — what I know is lily’s heart. And, man, it just doesn’t seem like you have a problem breaking it right now.

Lily: Look, playing devil’s advocate, maybe devon would have never agreed to this merger if he knew we were going public. Maybe he feels like he signed under false pretenses.

Jill: Well, then he’s woefully mistaken. There was no long-term plot to lure him in so we could steal hamilton-winters. The merger was your idea. The ipo was mine. Devon’s been around long enough to know that there is no static in the business world.

Lily: Yeah, that’s true, but —

Jill: An ipo is a logical and reasonable response, given our profits and our success. He just doesn’t like the plan. So he wants to take his ball and go home. Aw, sweetie, it’s so unfortunate that you got in the middle of this.

Lily: Well, I guess I should look at it like another day in the office.

Jill: No. I know how difficult this is for you, and I do appreciate your loyalty to your brother. Alright, so, if you feel that you need to recuse yourself from being involved in this lawsuit, I understand. And I am prepared to fight this alone.

Lily: No, look, I will do what it takes to protect the company. But I do have a request.

Jill: Well, then let’s hear it.

Lily: I don’t think that this lawsuit should stop us from doing business. And I really believe that we should move forward with daniel’s platform, omega sphere.

Jill: Okay. The video game.

Lily: Jill, it is so much more than that. I mean, this platform could make a name for us in the gaming industry.

Jill: You really believe in this.

Lily: Yes, of course I do. This is a groundbreaking platform, and I think it’s a great partnership for us. And I really hope that you will say yes…tonight. What about this guy?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Devon: I’m as hurt as lily is that things have gotten to this point, but she and I have very different views on how to run a business. And I’ve had reservations about going public for a long time now for good reasons. And she’s making the choice to ignore those reasons and side with jill, which is fine. She can do that. They can take chancellor public all they want. I just want to reclaim the company that I created with neil.

Daniel: But she’s your sister.

Devon: I know who she is. That’s not gonna change.

Daniel: You know, just because you guys had differences in the past and you were able to eventually forgive each other for them and get past it doesn’t mean it’s gonna happen that way again. You’re taking her for granted, man, and that is a sure-fire way to lose someone you love.

Devon: [ Sighs ]

Tucker: What’s going on with you?

Adam: Man, you are awfully set on having a heart-to-heart. It makes me wonder why.

Tucker: [ Sighs ] I’m not looking for a pal or anything. It seems like we’re cut from the same cloth, is all. And there’s something to be said for, uh — for unloading onto someone who is in no position to judge or who really doesn’t care. It’s liberating.

Adam: I lost someone that’s, uh, very special to me.

Tucker: Oh, I’m sorry.

Adam: Well, losing her was bad enough, but it’s to whom i lost her which is the salt, the lemon, and, um, the battery acid in the open wound.

Tucker: Oh. Was it a friend or foe?

Adam: It’s family.

Tucker: Ugh. Well, if you want my advice, um, try not to think in absolutes. You know, you can never step in the same river twice ’cause it’s ever-changing, just like we are. So, this woman you love, who you lost, is not the same woman she was yesterday, just like you’re not the same man. Hope springs eternal. You never know what’s gonna happen, right?

Sally: Now that we’ve discussed the possibility that adam could be the father, should I tell him? Or should I just keep this to myself for as long as humanly possible?

Nick: Um… it’s your call. You should do what you want.

Sally: But you think I should tell him, sooner rather than later.

Nick: I really do. It won’t be any fun in the moment, but look how much better you felt after you told me. And this isn’t about what adam does or doesn’t deserve. Sally, you deserve to have as few burdens as possible so you can focus on yourself and have the healthiest pregnancy that you can. And it doesn’t do you any good to keep any secrets. They always come to light.

Sally: Yeah, you’re right. Everything should be out in the open. I should…find out the truth.

Nick: What?

Sally: I will have a paternity test done and get the answers that we need. Your heart is the beat of life.

Mariah: Before we get started, I just wanted to say there’s no bad answers here, alright? No judgment, no outrage, no giggling. Just an honest conversation about baby names.

Tessa: Okay. I’m in.

Mariah: Okay. I will, uh, go first. Hyacinth.

Tessa: Oh. I’ll put it on the list. Okay, um… anoushka?

Mariah: [ Laughs ]

Tessa: [ Gasps ] No!

Mariah: I’m sorry.

Tessa: No! You said this was a safe space. No giggling!

Mariah: I’m so sorry. You’re right. You’re right. That was wrong. That was wrong.

Tessa: So wrong.

Mariah: Okay, go again.

Tessa: Adele? Like you can think of something better.

Mariah: Better than “adele anoushka”? Yeah, you bet I can.

Tessa: Okay, fine. You do your thing. You name the baby.

Mariah: You know what? I will. So, it’s got to be something ageless…

Tessa: Okay.

Mariah: …And timeless. You know, it’s got to — it’s got to stand out, but not too far out.

Tessa: Okay. I mean, I’d like something that resonates, something that you hear and you don’t forget, you know, something one-of-a-kind.

Mariah: Just like our girl.

Tessa: Let’s try out a few.

Mariah: Okay. You go first.

Tessa: Okay. “Everly? Are you ready for bedtime?”

Mariah: Oh, it’s sweet!

Tessa: Yeah!

Mariah: I like it. I do.

Tessa: Okay, okay.

Mariah: Um… “emerson?”

Tessa: [ Gasps ]

Mariah: “Have you finished your french homework?”

Tessa: Ooh. Okay. Um… “tuesday, I have never seen a brighter smile. Good job at brushing your teeth.”

Mariah: [ Laughs ] So, tuesday’s a good brusher?

Tessa: Not one cavity.

Mariah: Oh, I like her already.

Tessa: Ah, I just can’t wait to see her sweet little face and her cute little fingernails.

Mariah: Can you imagine what it’s gonna be like to just — to be holding her in our arms, knowing that she’s ours?

Tessa: I hope she likes my music.

[ Both laugh ]

Mariah: She’s gonna love it. And she’s gonna love her name.

Tessa: Which is…?

Mariah: [ Inhales deeply ] To be determined.

Tessa: Okay.

Mariah: You know, we need to get her home and see what she — what she feels like, who she is.

Tessa: You’re right. We should get a sense of her personality. You know, delphine could be late. I mean, what if “to be determined” likes to be late to the party?

Mariah: [ Laughs ] Well, then she’d be just like her mother.

Tessa: Oh, honey, don’t talk about yourself like that.

Mariah: Excuse me? You’re the late one. You used to at least try to be on time, but then when you realized that I would just wait for you, all bets were off.

Tessa: [ Laughs ] And now we’re waiting for our daughter. Oh, my gosh, I will just never get sick of saying that.

Mariah: “Our daughter.” Wow. It’s got to be the two best words that ever were.

Tessa: It’s normal to be terrified, right?

Mariah: It’s completely normal.

Tessa: [ Breathes deeply ]

Tucker: Well, mr. Newman, this has been a blast, but this is as much excitement as I can handle in one night.

Adam: [ Groans ] Yeah, I know what you mean. So let’s never do it again.

Tucker: It’s a date. Hey, nick! Isn’t it past your bedtime?

[ Laughter ]

Nick: That’s funny.

[ Hands clap ] I didn’t realize you two were friends.

Tucker: Oh, we’re not.

Adam: Oh, no, we just — it turns out we both like coffee.

Tucker: I know. What are the odds of that?

Adam: Yeah. This could be the beginning of a very interesting friendship.

Tucker: Anything can happen. And with that [Clicks tongue] Good night.

Adam: Hey, I’m actually, uh, glad I ran into you.

Nick: Why is that?

Adam: Uh, because I wanted to let you know that I told jack that victor and potentially kyle were trying to pull the rug out from under me at jabot. So, thank you for the heads-up. I know your motivation was self-serving, but your impulse was generous.

Nick: Well, I sure hope jack has your back.

Adam: We’ll find out soon enough, I suppose. Look, do you actually have a minute?

Nick: Depends. What do you want?

Adam: I figured since we’re in a “sort of getting along” phase, I could ask you a question.

Nick: Alright. Go for it.

Adam: What is going on with sally?

Daniel: Yes, it is easy to get distracted by emotions. And I know you’re gonna say that it’s only business, but don’t — don’t minimize who she is. Lily is brilliant. She’s incredibly loyal. She’s the kind of person that you want by your side, not across the courtroom.

Devon: Right.

Lily: Hi.

Devon: Hi.

Lily: Sorry. I was eavesdropping. Thank you, daniel, for your support, but devon is free to make up his own mind.

Devon: Well, I appreciate you saying that, but I just want to say that I agree with every single thing that you just said about her. And I mean that. You keep saying, lily, that this is all about keeping me on board and us working together as a family — right? — And carrying out this legacy.

Lily: Yes, that is true.

Devon: Okay. I had a thought then. Why don’t you come and join me at hamilton-winters and we can run our father’s company together, side by side? You say the most important thing is our relationship, which i agree with. So, why not say yes to that?

Lily: [ Scoffs ] I’m sorry. Is this like a loyalty test? I don’t — why do I have to give up chancellor-winters to make you feel better?

Devon: It’s not about making me feel better. It’s about doing what you claim you want to do so bad, which is work with me, right? No? I mean, your response — it just proves to me again that business is everything to you. So I don’t want to hear any more that this is just about family when we know where you stand. Sorry. This is the sound of better breathing.

Daniel: Wow, that was brutal.

Lily: All part of the job description.

Daniel: Mm. Rolling with the punches?

Lily: [ Chuckles ] I mean, what’s the alternative? Every time I try to make things better with devon, they get worse, so… but it’s fine. It’s fine. Everything’s fine.

Daniel: I hope that I didn’t overstep, telling devon how i felt about what he’s doing.

Lily: No. Look, I know that you meant well, but I don’t think that anyone can change his mind at this point.

Daniel: Well, I am truly sorry that you’re having to deal with all this.

Lily: Thank you. Anyway, I have some news for you.

Daniel: Okay. Lay it on me.

Lily: So, I spoke with jill about the future of omega sphere.

Daniel: And?

Lily: And… she said yes.

[ Laughs ] She wants to move forward.

Daniel: Are you serious?

Lily: Yes. Yes. I’m serious. Everything that you asked for. So, how soon can you have it ready to launch?

Daniel: [ Chuckles ] I-I… I don’t know what to say. Uh…

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Daniel: You did it. This is — it’s happening.

Lily: Yes. It’s happening.

Daniel: This is incredible.

Lily: [ Laughs ] It’s happening.

Daniel: Oh, my god.

Lily: Oh, I am so happy.

Daniel: Oh!

Tessa: [ Yawns ]

Mariah: [ Chuckles ] Are you getting sleepy?

Tessa: Yes. Finally. Are you?

Mariah: No, not just yet. But I love that the sound of my voice can put the person that i love most in the world to sleep.

[ Both laugh ]

Tessa: That will come in very handy in the years to come.

Mariah: Oh, so, I’m on sleep duty?

Tessa: Oh, yeah, I mean, only until she’s in college.

Mariah: Well, then that means you’re the disciplinarian.

Tessa: [ Gasps ] Wait. No, no. That doesn’t work.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ] Well, if the sound of my voice sends her off to dreamland, i can’t also be the person that tells her to study or to do her chores, you know? She’ll be falling asleep as she’s trying to clean out the garage or learn the state capitals.

Tessa: But I don’t want to be the bad guy.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ] Never.

Tessa: We’ll do it together.

[ Breathes deeply ] We’re gonna be good moms. We’re not gonna be bad moms, okay? We’re gonna be cool and chill.

Mariah: Alright.

Tessa: She can talk to us about anything —

Mariah: Oh. Oh, my god.

Tessa: What?

Mariah: It’s delphine.

Tessa: Okay. Okay.

Mariah: I-I’m answering it.

Tessa: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Mariah: Hi! Delphine! Uh, we’re — we’re great. How are you?

Tessa: [ Exhales heavily ]

Mariah: In labor?

Tessa: In labor?

Mariah: Uh… okay. Yeah. You’re, uh, in labor. Um, do you know how — it’s happening right now.

Tessa: Right now? Okay.

Mariah: Uh, alright, alright. Um, well, you know what? Uh, we are gonna be there as — as fast as we can, and, um — and, uh [Chuckles] We’re gonna be there for you. We’re gonna take care of you. So, uh — so, just, uh — ooh, she says be safe.

Tessa: Aww.

Mariah: Okay. Just — just make sure you’re breathing through your contractions, alright? And you are not gonna have to do this alone. I promise, okay? Okay. We’ll see you soon. Alright.

Tessa: We’re gonna meet our baby.

Mariah: Our baby is coming.

[ Both laugh ]

Tessa: Oh, my god!

Mariah: Mwah! I love you.

Tessa: I love you.

Mariah: I love you. Oh, my god!

[ Both laughing ]

Sally: [ Sighs heavily ]

[ Exhales heavily ]

[ Sighs ] Voicemail. Of course. It’s after hours.

[ Breathes deeply ] Yes. Hi. I would like to make an appointment for a paternity test.

Nick: There’s nothing for you to worry about, adam. I heard what sally said to you before.

Adam: Yeah. She said she was having some problems starting her business. But it just felt like it was something more, maybe something she couldn’t say.

Nick: Maybe she’s just uncomfortable being around both of us at the same time. Look, sally’s tough, but can you imagine how hard that must be for her? And I don’t know when or if that’s gonna change.

Adam: Okay. That’s fair enough.

Nick: Night.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Nick: Hi. Can I get, uh…

[ Speaking indistinctly ]

That’s it. Yeah.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 I never forget the terms of a deal. And my lawyers are meticulous. I’m aware. You know, I must admit, my financial advisors balked at me making this deal. Your catalog is a gold mine. Wow. You must be really scared of getting “metoo”d, then, to walk away from all that money. This is what you want, isn’t it? To have your songs back and me out of your hair. Among other things. Perfect. Then all you need to do… …is sign on the dotted line. You don’t have to put up with linc. Walk away. Find a manager who respects you. Problem is, my contract is ironclad. My career would be over, after I worked so hard for it. I’m trapped. And it’s not like I have a support system. Excuse the pity party, but when you leave the business, I’ll be all alone. Well…

not alone. Give me the pen. Oh. I almost forgot, brookie. There’s just one more thing I need from you. Tj. Hi. Trina. Look at you. All ready for the rehearsal dinner? Yeah. I’m really looking forward to it. Me, too. Me, too. I just have to take care of one last thing before I head home to change, pick up molly. Are you looking for your mom? I’m pretty sure she left early. Oh, yeah, she did. Um, we’ve been texting nonstop. But I thought I had a little time before the party starts, and I, um — I, uh, probably shouldn’t be here. Just act like you never saw me. Trina. Whatever it is, you can tell me. After all, we are about to be family. I know what I have to do now. I just wanted to tell you first. First? I didn’t want there to be any more lies between us before I, uh — before you what? Elizabeth, what are you going to do? Turn myself in. It’s clear this is weighing on you heavily. So I understand you wanting to go to the police and confess. No matter what it costs me. Elizabeth. I’m sorry. I can’t let you throw it all away. Where did my father go? I don’t know. What have you done, spencer? I don’t know what you mean, grandmother. You’re so clever. Yeah. You always have been, ever since you were a little boy. But you can’t fool me. I was in that chapel when you told him you wanted to get custody of esme’s baby. His baby. I don’t know what kind of twisted cassadine game you are playing with your father right now or how ava fits into this. But I do know that it will be destructive to all three of you. So you let me help you, before your relationship with your father can never be salvaged. You tell me — what are you holding over your father’s head? Yeah, I’m gonna tail this jerome lady that gave me such a hard time the other day. I’ll report back. So who was that? Three guesses. Listen to me. You want to come after me, mason? You go right ahead. You take your best shot. But don’t you dare threaten ava.

[ Chuckles ] Well, clearly, from the sour expression on your face, you’ve spoken to spencer. Is this how it ends between us, ava? You turn my own son against me? You saw fit to weaponize spencer. Oh, I can’t take credit for that. You did it all by yourself. Now be gone. This is my house now. I’m not going anywhere. Not until you and i finish what we started.

[ Indistinct conversations ] That dirtbag doesn’t give up, does he? Easy, detective. You told me what happened the last time you tried to defend brook lynn’s honor. You were suspended, without pay. Yeah, I remember. But still. If you think this agreement gives you special groping privileges, you can rip it in two and shove it up — linc: You’re a beautiful woman, brook lynn. Can you blame a guy for trying? Actually, I can blame you. Hashtag “me too.” Just so we’re clear, this little disagreement falls under this nondisclosure agreement. Like I could ever forget that. I get the rights to my songs back, and you get my silence in return. As much bellyaching as you’ve done about getting those songs back, I’d say cooperation and silence are a small price to pay. And your handsome singing detective never has to know. I’ll have what I want. You’ll have what you want. Blaze and chase’s careers will continue to climb. That’s a win-win for all four of us. Here, I thought you touching me was unbearable. But watching you put your scuzzy hands on another woman… please. Spare me the moral outrage and just sign your name. You go to the police, it’s going to cost you everything you love — your family, your career. Is easing your conscience worth losing all that? It’s not about easing my conscience. It’s about who I am, or who I used to be before my life went sideways and everything started spinning out of control. You mean before nik roped you into keeping his baby a secret? And I don’t see him rushing to confess. Let him go to jail, not you. I so appreciate that you still care. Do yourself a favor. Wash your hands of me and just let me go. How I would even do that? When I was in trouble, you didn’t wash your hands of me. You know, your sense of loyalty is totally out of whack. I’m your family, austin. And you want to defend ava? Hey, she’s the one that threatened me. She wanted to put the cops on me for the hook attacks. Yeah, because she was one of the first people to be attacked with a hook. She’s lucky to be alive. And who can blame her for wanting to figure out who the attacker was? If you were in my shoes, I would totally take your side. But, hey, I’m not the one who wants ava for myself like you. I mean, it’s really not a big deal. I-I mean, I — if I say anything to my mom or dad or marshall or curtis, they’ll overreact. I got to tell you, it’s starting to sound like a big deal. I just want to check on spencer, ah. Not you, too. No, not me. Spencer is molly’s cousin, remember? I’ve known him most of his life. He’s had some major screw-ups. He — he seems to have zero impulse control, but he is a good guy. He really cares. You know, I-I think that actually might be his problem. Caring? Mm-hmm. Spencer cares too much. It makes him vulnerable and easy to hurt

[ Scoffs ] Spencer. Absolutely. All that cynical, spoiled B.S. Is just a put-on, same as when he was a little kid. He was entitled, obnoxious, precocious. He used to wear cravats and smoking jackets.

[ Laughs ] Yeah, I heard about that. But what I think spencer really was was lonely. And I think he still is. Grandmother, I — I saw my son’s face go pale when you vowed to gain custody of his child. There was a not-so-veiled threat behind that vow. There’s a web address on here. Go to it and you’ll find a video. A video…of what? Something that will give you power over nikolas. But let me warn you, spencer, you cannot unsee this. And if you choose to use it against your father, there will be no going back. You will be his sworn enemy. I don’t consider it to be a threat. I consider it to be the truth. Oh. The truth can be weaponized. You know that as well as I do. Now, listen to me. I am speaking to you now as someone who loves you both. I deserve to know the truth about this. Grandmother, it is because I love you so much that I cannot share with you what that truth is. If my father goes down for this, it will be because that is his choice. I’m not going to let him destroy anyone else in this family in the process. You wanted the house, now you’ve got it. You can redecorate, pull it down from its studs, or burn it to the ground. Let’s just say I have options. You can erase every trace that I ever lived in this house. But one thing you can’t do is erase what we felt for each other. And where did your feelings for me lead you? Right into the open arms of your son’s girlfriend! You think I wanted esme? Oh, I know that esme was no innocent in all of this, but you sure as hell took what she offered you, didn’t you? You’re the one who was arguing with esme before she fell. But I kept it quiet. I protected you. I was even willing to take the blame for you. And this is how you repay me? By turning that very confession against me? By giving it to my son to use against me in order to gain custody of my unborn child! Have you forgotten that spencer came to town just to break us up and to destroy you in the process? That is how much he hated you! I have forgotten nothing. But I happen to agree with spencer about one thing. That baby deserves better than esme and certainly deserves better than you! This isn’t about the baby, and you know it. So call it what it is, ava. It’s revenge. I honestly don’t care whatever you call it, as long as it stops you.

Okay, enough’s enough, jerk.Just don’t punch him. Oh, I’m not going to. I’m just going to put him in his place. All I need is one little signature, brookie. Are you in or are you out? What the hell’s going on here? We were just concluding a little business negotiation. Right, brook lynn? If your manager signs this agreement, she gets her song catalog back, not including the song rights I’ve already sold. It’s just my way of — to say thank you for everything she’s done for me.

[ Clears throat ] It’s okay, chase. Believe it or not, this, um — this agreement actually gets us both what we want. There. It’s done. See? Now, that wasn’t so hard, was it? It sounds like you’re implying that nikolas has done something illegal, something that would compromise my position of mayor if it were to be made public. Am I right about any of this? Like I said, it’s really best that you don’t know what I know. I guess I’ll take it as a yes. Grandmother, please, just trust that I know what I’m doing and drop this. Drop what? My feelings for you and your father? No, not for me, but for my father. I do think that he is a waste of your time. I remember a time when you worshiped the ground that that man walked on. My mother was dead. He was my only parent. So, yeah, when I was a little kid, I believed in him. And you still can, just tempered with the knowledge that no one is perfect. Grandmother, I’m sorry. That time has passed. At every turn, he has disappointed me. That man chooses his own selfish desires over everything and everyone. That’s just who he is. And I’ve had enough. I’ve had enough. He would have done us all a favor if he’d just stayed dead. Why can’t you believe me? Esme meant nothing to me. What about your affair with elizabeth? Your oldest and dearest friend, the woman you trust more than anybody on this earth? Was she nothing to you, too? Did you use her like you use everybody else? Yes, I used elizabeth, but not in the way you think. What are you talking about? It was all a lie. There was no affair. I never slept with elizabeth. We have very different memories of peter’s fall in the stairwell. Yeah, I didn’t walk away from you, but I also remember how our cover-up almost blew up in our faces when we found out peter wasn’t dead. He knew you were responsible for that fall, and he hung it over our heads, remember?

[ Sighs ] My point is, you wouldn’t let me lose everything and everyone I love. You stood by me, knowing the risks, and it brought us closer. That almost seems like a lifetime ago. Doesn’t seem like that long ago to me. Finn… you’re under no obligation to help me. Elizabeth, it’s never felt like an obligation with you. Then what is it?

I’ll make sure that you get a copy of our agreement asap. What was that all about?

[ Clears throat ] I told you, we were, um, negotiating. With his hand on your knee? You saw that? It was all I could do not to punch him out again. Oh. I guess I’m glad you still care enough to get all riled up. I’m — I’m also relieved that you didn’t throw any punches. Yeah, well, I’ve learned the hard way. Now that I have my songs back, you can forget all about the music biz. When the ccrb reinstates you, you can go back to being a cop. Chase? I was expecting a little bit more enthusiasm. Linc doesn’t just give away important assets like your song catalog. Is he going to buy out my contract like we hoped? Not exactly. Okay, then what exactly did you have to give him to get your songs back? Not that it’s any of your business, ’cause it’s really none of your business, but ava and I are friends. We’re just friends. Mm. Could have fooled me. Uh, okay, so — but from now on, moving forward, that’s something that you understand. Absolutely. Great. But since you’re just friends, you won’t mind if I pay ava a little visit tonight. Mason, what are you doing? Why — why would you do that? Why would you pay ava a visit? I don’t have to tell you, cuz. Love-hate is stronger than love or hate. Why are you fighting me on this? I’m not fighting you. I’m fighting for you. Somebody has to. You seem hell-bent on paying for someone else’s crimes. I don’t want see you throwing your life away for someone like nik cassadine. Oh, I’m not turning myself in for nikolas. I can’t really betray spencer’s trust or violate his privacy by giving details. But spencer and i were in the chapel after britt’s memorial, and spencer’s family came in, his dad and grandmother. Spencer asked me to leave, and I could tell that there was going to be a major blow-up. And you want to make sure he’s okay? I mean, I can text spencer, but… it’s really easy to lie in a text. If I see him, I’ll know. Molly and I are like that. In our work, we don’t get to share how we feel, so we’ve gotten good at hiding our emotions, but not from each other. One look at molly, and I can tell if she’s happy or worried or if her very last nerve is about to snap, and she can do the same thing with me. But we have known each other since we were teenagers. How long have you known spencer? About a year and a half. But it feels a lot longer because of everything that’s happened. Well, I think that’s why your mom and dad and curtis and marshall, I think that’s why they’re concerned. They don’t like spencer for me. No, they don’t want you to get hurt. I know. And that’s why you’d be doing all of them a huge favor if you don’t mention that I was ever here.

[ Both laugh ] So you’re going to keep looking for spencer? Uh… he’s probably gone. But if he’s still here, he’s dealing with his family. Besides, I don’t want to be late for the rehearsal dinner. Do you need a ride? I’m parked in the garage. I’ll ride down with you. Thanks for listening. That’s what family’s for. I need to sit down. Spencer, you don’t wish that your father was dead. I was there when you thought your father was dead, and you were shattered. I was a child then. I’m not now. Once you found out that he was still alive after he had been gone all those years, the two of you never connected as father and son again after that. I guess I just kept hoping that when you came back from boarding school that there might be a chance for you to — I’ve learned better now. I have grown up, grandmother. And I don’t actively wish that my father was dead, but I know that I don’t want him in my life anymore. Okay. You might feel that way now. But… you also know what it feels like not to have a father. Is that something that you would really want for your younger sister or brother? Oh, come on, nikolas, I know you’re desperate, but to try and deny your squalid affair with elizabeth baldwin — there was no affair! That was a lie, and it wasn’t mine. Elizabeth invented that. Why? That affair ended her relationship with finn. It doesn’t make any sense that she would make it up. Better that everyone thought we were sleeping together than anyone know the real reason elizabeth was spending so much time here at wyndemere. Well, tell me the real reason, nikolas. Why was elizabeth coming around here so much?! I was keeping esme locked in the north tower! Yeah, that’s right. We all thought she died when she fell off the parapet. But months later, she showed up pregnant with my child. She instantly started threatening to use the baby against me. And at the time, I had every reason to believe that she was the hook killer. Well, then why didn’t you call the cops and have the little demon locked up?! Because I didn’t want my baby born in prison and it wasn’t safe for the baby or anyone else if esme was allowed to roam free. So I — so you held her prisoner. And that’s why the north tower was off-limits to everybody. Elizabeth found out. And she begged me to call the police. But instead, I convinced her to give esme some basic medical care. I appealed to our friendship. And I am sure you’ll be happy to hear that it ended up destroying our friendship forever. But it turned out that esme wasn’t the hook killer. We didn’t know that until that rookie cop was killed when she was under lock and key. After that, I was going to fly her to cassadine island to have the baby there. But before I could make that happen — esme escaped. And she ended up at G.H. With no memory. I still don’t understand why elizabeth would make up a story about the two of you having an affair. Finn was getting very suspicious that esme was hiding somewhere here on the island. So one day, he came here, and he found a bottle of prenatal vitamins. He found elizabeth with a second bottle. And when he asked her about them, she panicked and said the first thing that came into her mind — that she was pregnant from sleeping with me. So you see, ava, esme was a one-time mistake. And elizabeth was just my friend. There was never anyone else… …but you.

You’re right. I did have to throw linc a bone. How bad is it? I agreed to write a dozen commercial jingles for linc, and once I deliver those, linc and I will be officially done. And that’s it? Look, I don’t want to be a pop star, okay? It’s not my passion. I want… I want my badge back. That’s what you wanted, isn’t it? I sign a document with enough time to spare so you can go in front of the review board, state your case, and walk away detective harrison chase again. You’ll be done with the music business for good. I just finished my business dealings with brook lynn, so now I can focus all my attention on you and making you so big that lady gaga will want to be your opening act. Chase, what is it? Did you hear what I said? Yeah, I heard it. But what if I don’t want out just yet? I don’t deserve your charity. Not after the way I treated you. Lied to you, made you think I cheated on you, and for what? To imprison a pregnant woman? It’s not charity. You don’t need that. But you do need to stop beating yourself up. I mean, nikolas didn’t tell you he was planning on imprisoning esme, did he? No, I’d imagine he pulled you in a little bit at a time, right? Go get prenatal vitamins for the the pregnant woman. That doesn’t sound so bad, does it? And I bet you at every chance he got, he reminded you that esme is the one that made the revenge porn of cam. He did mention it a few times. Mm. You are a reasonable person who made — made a reasonable mistake. I’m — I’m just talking as your friend here. That’s what we were long before we were anything else. As your friend, I want to get you through this without throwing away everything you love. Everything except my self-respect. I’ve made up my mind. I’m going to go to the pcpd and tell jordan everything. Finn: When you go to jail, what about the boys? Have you thought about that? Who’s going to take care of aiden and jake? Much of that’s going to fall on cam’s shoulders. You know how responsible he always is, right? I could see him dropping out of school to get a full-time job. And I know you think laura would be there to help, but she’s going to be dealing with nikolas and spencer and esme and a baby and all the drama that comes with — no, this is going to fall on cam’s shoulders. You — you willing to do that to your boys just to clear your conscience? Why did you wait till now to tell me all that? W-why did you make me think the worst of you? I was protecting elizabeth from going to prison. I mean, I already lost you whenyou found out I slept with esme. What else did I have to lose? So when elizabeth panicked and made up that story, I went along with it. This doesn’t change anything between us, though. You know that, right? O-of course I know that I would be lying if I said I haven’t done a lot of things that I regret. The road is littered with people that I’ve walked over, and I never even looked back. God knows neither one of us is perfect. That’s why I held out hope that one day, once the baby was born and esme was taken care of, I’d tell you everything, and you could understand and even find a way to forgive me. And then maybe, just maybe, we could find a way to repair the damage I caused. We could get past the betrayal and the bitterness and find a way back home, to our home, the one we shared and loved.

You don’t want out of the music biz yet? I don’t understand. You’ve made it abundantly clear on multiple occasions that you think your true calling is catching bad guys. Nothing’s changed. That is the ultimate goal. But when I signed onto our plan, I had two objectives — one, to get your song catalog back. Okay, great. Mission accomplished there. But two, to nail linc for sexual harassment, not just with you, but with every female that he tries to groom to be a star. I mean, you’re still up for that, aren’t you? Look, linc will get his. Someday. Okay, but you deserve to follow your dreams, which means going to that review board and convincing them to give you your badge back. Where does that leave blaze? I have grown to like her a lot. How much longer does she have to put up with linc and his sleazeball ways? What if the guy doesn’t take no for an answer? Not to mention what happens to every young, pretty, trusting face that comes along. If I am all about taking down bad guys, what kind of person would I be to look the other way? Now, I signed on to take down linc, and that is exactly what we’re going to do. Together. You know how much my boys mean to me. Of course I do. That’s why I need to do this. The truth is going to come out. It always does. At least this way, I can hold my head up high. Face the consequences to my actions. And my boys will know their mom isn’t a coward. Your boys know you’re not a coward. Just like they know you’re human and you’re capable of making mistakes. Especially when you think you’re helping a friend or maybe protecting your community from a killer. In the eyes of the law, I am an accessory to a kidnapping. The sooner I face that, the better for everyone. Okay. Wait. Just, uh — you feel like you have to do it? Okay. Do it. Just do me one favor. Just sleep on it, one night. Talk to jordan in the morning. Hey, aren’t you, uh — aren’t you supposed to go to the rehearsal dinner for curtis and portia tonight?

[ Sighs ] Do you really think I can walk into that dinner like this? Hey, you can do anything you want to do. Maybe it’ll be A… good reminder of everything you’d be giving up. I’m hoping you’ll realize what you’ll be losing, and you will choose to stop punishing yourself. I will be all the father that baby needs. Have you ever babysat a baby? Even once? Have you changed a diaper? No, but I can go online, and I can watch tutorials, and I can figure out how to do it. I’m — I am capable. I’ve never seen you make a meal in your entire life. The baby’s not even going to be eating real food for at least a year, right? That’s plenty of time for me to learn how to cook. Are we really talking about this? The point is, you have always been the one who has been taken care of. Do you really think you’re ready to meet the emotional needs of a baby? Babies are very demanding. Grandmother, my plan is very simple. In any situation, whatever my father did, I’m going to do exactly the opposite. Ah. Well… despite his many mistakes, he is still my son. And I will never give up on him. But I need your help, spencer. Did you really mean everything you just said? I meant every word. And it might have come true… if only you hadn’t conspired with spencer to take my unborn child away from me. You, of all people, know how that feels. When ryan chamberlain murdered kiki, that was agony, wasn’t it? Yet still, you — you weaponized spencer to take my unborn child from me?! How could you be so heartless?! Don’t bother answering that question, because the real question is, what do you think I should do as a result? What are you saying? Eye for an eye. That’s your way, isn’t it, ava? Since you’ve obviously forgotten what it feels like to lose a child, someone needs to remind you. So brace yourself, my love, because that someone is me.

Chase: Hey, when are we going to record another song together? Another song? Yeah. I mean, I can see it — you and me, tearing up the charts. But I thought —

[ Laughing ] Never mind what I thought. Blaze and chase together again. Hey, maybe we should record a whole album this time. I don’t see why not.

[ Laughing ] Oh, my gosh. Well, it sounds like we’re all going to make a lot more money with each other. I think we should toast, you know, to make it official. I’ll do the honors. Here’s to everyone getting exactly what they want.

[ Glasses clink ] I did promise portia I would go to her rehearsal dinner. Support my friend on her special day. Good. But I can’t promise you that I’m going to sleep on my decision, because I most likely will be up all night. I can live with that. As long as you don’t go to the police for now. For now. But in the morning, if I do decide to turn myself in… you won’t be alone. Thank you. And thank you for caring about me, whether I deserve it or not. If we all got what we deserved, who’d be left to run this place? You stay away from ava.

[ Scoffs ] Don’t be greedy, cuz. I’m not asking you, mason. This is me telling you. You stay the hell away from ava. You still think you’re a knight shining armor, don’t you? First it’s maxie and her baby, and now it’s ava jerome. Nah, ava’s a big girl. She can — she can fight her own battles. Then why are you doing it? You’re right. I guess, mason, because I know you. I know you. I know the twisted mind games you like to play. Well, what can I say? We learned from the best, remember? Oh, yeah, no, I remember. But I’ve grown up. Some of us have grown up. Some of us have — some of us are changed people. You are so boring like this! Boring and predictable. You know what? I’ve heard enough. Nighty-night, cuz.

[ Sighs ] Oh, come on, ava. Pick up. Voicemail. You know I hate saying no to you, grandmother. But you are asking too much. Nikolas cassadine was born with every luxury, every privilege, every opportunity to be the kind of man, kind of father that a son could look up to. That man has squandered every opportunity of his life, every privilege, including your love for him. If it’s salvation that he seeks, it is going to have to come from someone else. It’s not nikolas’ fault. It’s mine. I should have stayed on the island and raised him. You’re threatening to take avery from me? That’s impossible. You have no grounds for custody.

[ Laughs ] Who needs family court or a lawyer? I have uncle victor by my side and access to all his resources at my fingertips. When avery is gone, I guarantee you will feel an emptiness in your soul like I will, for the rest of your life. That’s a promise. And I’ll start now. Nikolas, I can’t let you take her. Don’t worry. I’ll tell avery you said goodbye.

[ Both grunt ]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Relaxing music ]

Steffy: There’s only one option.

Taylor: Yes, there is.

Steffy: Your freedom. That’s what matters. Mom…

Taylor: Honey, I have to confess. I have to– I have to confess to shooting bill, it’s the only way.

Steffy: Oh, my god. Can you just forget about bill?

No, b you–

Steffy: We will figure out a way to put sheila behind bars. You’re not turning yourself in. Enough.

Taylor: But all it would take is a phone call steffy. I just– I just say that I shot bill and–

Steffy: No, they would arrest you on the spot.

Taylor: But no more blackmail and sheila’s behind bars.

Steffy: Stop talking about this, please. You are not going to jail.

Taylor: Steffy, it’s the only way to keep our family safe.

Katie: Taylor shot bill. I just can’t believe that you’ve kept this secret all these years.

Brooke: For the few of us who knew, we all agreed to keep it quiet, including bill.

Katie: Taylor committed a major crime, brooke. I mean, she almost took my son’s father away from him.

Brooke: Yes, I know and that was terrible, really. But taylor regrets what she did deeply. So please do not make her burden of guilt any heavier.

[ Hope sighing ]

Thomas: Knock, knock.

Hope: Thomas.

Thomas: Don’t call security please.

Hope: What are you doing here?

Thomas: I came to see you and offer my services, again.

Hope: Thomas, how did you get in the building?

Thomas: Have you seen charlie?

Hope: Okay, you can’t keep doing this. Steffy and ridge made it abundantly clear–

Thomas: I am not welcome here. I am well aware of that, but I think everyone is making a big mistake.

Hope: We’ve been over this already.

Thomas: The fact is that forrester needs me. You need me. The line’s suffering, hope. I’m worried about you and I’m worried about hope for the future.

Katie: I’m still just trying to digest all of this. I mean what it must have taken for taylor to pull that trigger.

Brooke: Something she can’t fully comprehend herself.

Katie: I know what she thought bill had done to her daughter and as a mother, I get that fierce protectiveness, but for her to snap in such a brutal way?

Brooke: Some impulse took over inside of her. That’s not who taylor really is.

Katie: I’m not saying that she’s a monster, but my feelings are much more conflicted for taylor now that I know she shot bill.

Taylor: I have to do this, steffy. I– I have to come forward. I can handle the repercussions, but I could not handle it if something happened to you and the kids.

Steffy: Mom, we’re fine.

Taylor: I would never forgive myself.

Steffy: We are fine.

Taylor: No. Steffy, the only way to ensure your safety is if sheila’s locked up and I’m the only one that can make that happen. I have to confess. I have to tell the police.

[ Music playing ]

Thomas: I understand you’re not ready to forgive me yet.

Hope: It is not that simple, thomas. Your fake C.P.S. Call harmed a lot of people.

Thomas: Yeah, no kidding. My family is not speaking to me and you can barely look at me and douglas–

Hope: Is still hurt.

Thomas: Yeah, he’s probably wondering why his father could do such a thing.

Hope: We all are.

Thomas: Blaming that phone call on brooke was a bad idea. It was reckless, it was mean spirited and if I could go back and change it, I would.

Hope: Honestly, I wish you could too. But it’s a little too late for that. You made a bad choice and now you’re suffering the consequences.

Thomas: Right, I am suffering the consequences, but so are you. You lost your lead designer and your line ha sufferg ever since. That’s not just my opinion. You read the reviews yourself. Look, I have been busting my tail ever since I was let go here. I have designs that could go into production right now.

Hope: And that is what makes this entire situation so sad. Thomas, you have endless talent and potential and yet you keep squandering it away doing these… these hurtful, inexcusable things.

Thomas: And I told you I am so sorry about that, but please just let me come back and help, let me do that for you.

Hope: It’s not my decision to make anyway, it’s up to ridge and steffy.

Thomas: That’s true. But I believe that if you push them, you can get them to bring me back on and let me design for you, again.

Katie: I’m trying not to judge, but what if bill hadn’t survived?

Brooke: I don’t even want to think about that.

Katie: Well think about it. What if it had happened? I mean if that bullet was one millimeter to the left or to the right, he would be dead. I would be raising my little boy without his father. I mean we thought that we were going to lose him. He was in a coma for weeks. I mean that’s what keeps playing over and over and over again in my head.

Brooke: I know. All the what ifs. It could’ve been a tragedy.

Katie: We got lucky. Taylor got lucky. She could’ve killed him.

Brooke: She wouldn’t have been able to live with herself. She barely can as it is.

Katie: Well, it must be a hard thing to accept about yourself, that you could take a human life. I mean it’s not like it was an accident.

Brooke: Taylor wasn’t in her right mind.

Katie okay, I get that you’re friends now and she was having some kind of episode, but that doesn’t excuse what she did. I mean, I’m not saying that she should be in jail, it happened a long time ago.

Brooke: Bill didn’t even want to see her incarcerated.

Katie: Only now, he’s using it to blackmail her in exchange for sheila’s release. That’s just lovely.

Brooke: And that’s the real tragedy. The only reason this is being brought up again is because of sheila carter. And I’m not gonna let taylor suffer because of sheila.

Taylor: Look, steffy, we can’t live like this forever. You know, bill being in control, sheila hanging over our heads.

Steffy: We’ll live like this because there’s no other choice to be made.

Taylor: There is. I tell the truth!

Steffy: Mom! Don’t! Stop!

Taylor: This blackmail with bill ends, sheila gets out of our lives and then, you know what? You and finn, you press charges. You testify. And guess what? Sheila goes down.

Steffy: You don’t understand. There is no guarantee. With bill’s power and influence and the lengths he’ll go to keep sheila from being in prison. There is no promise justice will be served, so can you get these thoughts out of your mind, please? I need you. The kids need you. So many people need you. Yes, we’ve all done things that we’re not proud of. But that is no reason to throw away your future. Tell me you understand that, mom. Promise me you’re not gonna turn yourself in.

For your most brilliant smile,

crest has you covered.

Taylor: I’m not even a violent person.

Steffy: Of course, you’re not.

Taylor: I didn’t go over to bill’s house that night to hurt him.

Steffy: No, you went there to protect me. You reacted in the heat of the moment.

Taylor: I snapped, I shot someone.

Steffy: Mom, you are not a criminal. You are a caretaker. You are so valuable to this world. Look, shooting bill, it gave you a rare perspective. It made you more understanding, more human, more compassionate. I mean, think about all the people that you have forgiven in a lifetime. You even forgave sheila for shooting you.

Taylor: That was stupid.

Steffy: Now it’s time to show yourself some mercy. You are an extraordinary woman. Never lose sight of that.

Taylor: Thank you, steffy. Thank you for your for your– for your kind words.

Steffy: Well, i mean it. You are too important to us. So don’t be tempted to go to the police, I am begging you.

Taylor: I need to go home, steff.

Steffy: No, mom. Why don’t you stay with us for a while?

Taylor: Uh, honey, I don’t want to interfere.

Steffy: You’re not interfering, not at all.

Taylor: Steffy, I– I love you so much. Watching you and the– and the woman that you have grown into is… it’s the greatest joy of my life.

Steffy: Best part, there is so much more to come.

Taylor: I’ll see you later, baby.

Thomas: You don’t have to give me an answer right now.

Hope: Not my answer to give.

Thomas: I get it. My fate is in the hands of my father and little sister.

Hope: Mmm, I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you. Steffy and ridge seemed pretty upset with you.

Thomas: So are you?

Hope: Hm. I have a lot of work to do thomas, so…

Thomas: Um, is that one of zende’s and granddad’s designs? Do you mind if I check it out?

[ Hope sighing ] I mean it’s, yeah, it’s– it’s nice. It’s um… the neckline is– is, um, it’s good. It’s very obvious.

Hope: Obvious?

Thomas: Yeah. I mean, look, obviously tremendous respect for my grandfather. He’s legendary in couture and– and zende is coming into his own, but… this is um, I mean, come on hope. This isn’t hope for the future.

Katie: Well, I have to get to my meeting. I guess I’ll let you get back up to the house.

Brooke: Katie, for what it’s worth, I understand why you’d be shaken by this news.

Katie: You mean that taylor shot my ex-husband and let liam believe that he was the shooter for weeks? Yeah, that’s gonna take a minute to settle in.

Brooke: And I don’t blame you. But I just hope these feelings are temporary. I really am hoping that you can show taylor some grace.

Steffy: Brooke?

Brooke: Steffy.

Steffy: Hi. Hey, katie.

Katie: Hey.

Steffy: Uh, I’m sorry, carmen sent me down here.

Brooke: Are– are you okay?

Steffy: Actually, I need to talk to you.

Brooke: All right, I’ll talk to you later.

Katie: Okay.

Steffy: Are hope and liam–

Brooke: They’re not here, they’re at work. So what is it? What’s the matter?

Steffy: It’s– it’s my mom.

Brooke: Is she okay? What’s wrong?

Steffy: I don’t know, but I’m really worried about her.

Taylor: It’s time for

the truth to come out. I’m jonathan lawson

Thomas: It’s a neat color, you know, and it, I see what granddad and zende were trying to do here. It’s simple. It’s elegant and it’s– it’s not straying too far from the status quo.

[ Thomas sighing ] Look, it is– it’s– it’s beautiful. You get what I mean though, right? I mean it’S… it is elegant. It’s wonderful. It’s definitely a forrester, but it’s not thomas forrester. Did that sound too arrogant?

Hope: Do you really want me to answer that?

Thomas: Okay, hope. You get what I’m saying, right? I mean, this– this isn’t representative of your– of your vision, of your line, of– of who you are. This isn’t pushing any boundaries.

Hope: And you’re certainly an expert at pushing boundaries.

Thomas: Walked right into that one, didn’t I?

Hope: Yup.

Thomas: You get what I mean, don’t you? Come on, hope. Just bring me back onto the line. I know that you’re already talking to steffy about it. Right? And look, I don’t even have to work here with you. I can work off campus for a while. You don’t have to pay me anything but a dollar. Come on, please just bring me back onto the team. You know how we work together? Let’s bring your line back to what it was when it was fun and it was exciting and it did push boundaries. Come on, hope. Just say yes.

Brooke: Tell me what happened.

Steffy: My mom keeps talking about turning herself in.

Brooke: No, she can’t do that.

Steffy: That’s what I keep saying, but she’s haunted by what she did to bill. She even compared herself to sheila.

Brooke: Oh, that’s ridiculous. She’s nothing like that lunatic.

Steffy: I know and I told her she doesn’t have to feel that way, but I don’t think I’m getting through to her. It’s like her conscience is eating away at her, not just because of shooting bill. She thinks that she’s responsible that sheila is roaming free and on top of that, she’s alone at the beach house, just–

Brooke: Okay, well why doesn’t she move back with you and finn and the kids?

Steffy: I– I tried. I tried to convince her to stay with us, but she feels as though she’s some kind of burden, that she’s interrupting our lives.

Brooke: She’s not a burden.

Steffy: That’s exactly what I said. What do I do, brooke? I need your input. I hate that my mom was alone at the beach house, especially ’cause she’s carrying all this shame and regret.

Brooke: It sounds like you’re doing everything that you can and I will too. I will be there for you and your mother.

Steffy: Thank you.

Brooke: Just glad you came to me.

Steffy: Honestly, I didn’t really know where to turn. You and my mom have built a nice friendship, although I’m still getting used to sharing my mom with you.

Brooke: I like your mom very much. She’s become a very dear friend to me and I know what it’s like to feel isolated and fall into a depression. So, we need to make sure that your mom doesn’t do anything that she regrets.

[ Taylor sighing ]

[ Door creaking ]

[ Gun firing ]

Taylor: Sheila carter’s a free woman, but she’s far from innocent. However, she’s not the only one whose crimes should be brought to justice. I am too. I’m the person who shot bill spencer. Who shot bill spencer… who shot bill spencer…

Young & The Restless Update

Y&R logo

Update written by Barbara

Victoria comes to Nate’s office after business hours with a bottle of 25-year old single malt, the “good stuff,” as she refers to it. She tells him that she got it for her birthday, but tonight is a special occasion because she wants to have an “outside-of-the-box” strategy. Nate is down for it. When she mentions that she wants to snatch up Daniel’s Omegasphere gaming platform as well as McCall Unlimited, Nate is all in. His take on the matter is that this is exactly the type of move that Devon would have rejected because it he would consider it too risky.

Nate also lets Victoria that Audra is his secret weapon for intel on McCall Unlimited because Audra is still in touch with Tucker. Victoria is a bit leery of Audra, but Nate assures her that Audra is loyal to them now.

As Nate and Victoria continue to drink, he opens up to her about how he feels that he has to present a different image to most people, but is fine around her. After the two of them comment about being aware of what it takes to make things happen, Victoria leans in and kisses Nate squarely on the lips. Nate responds in kind before she pulls away and hastily concludes the meeting.  After wishing each other a good night, Nate exhales deeply and has a pensive look, while Victoria looks a bit rattled outside his office door.

At the Abbott house, Jack surprises Diane with an evening of romance, complete with champagne and him wearing a tuxedo. They reflect on how they’ve ended up where they are now, and Jack says he thinks that maybe them being reunited has been in the cards a long time.

Then he mentions that finding Diane again might be the fulfillment of a prophecy from his mother, Dina. He explains the “Teardrop of Love” emerald necklace Dina had and how each of her children got a piece when she died. Jack shows Diane his emerald cuff links and tells her that perhaps the teardrop of love just needed a little time to work its magic.

Jack wants to look forward to his and Diane’s future, but she feels a little nervous and is concerned about getting the rug pulled out from under them. Jack assures her that he can do the grand planning for both of them, suggesting traveling and fun adventures with Harrison.

Diane tells him that what she wants is Christmas with the whole family, celebrating the holidays with people that matter to her. She continues, saying that she wants traditional Abbott breakfasts and picnics on the lake. She also mentions that says that she wants what they’re experiencing in the moment because she feels worthy and wanted and safe with Jack.

At Society, Billy and Chelsea are having a casual dinner, but things become awkward when their server assumes they’re on a date and tells them that they’re seated at the most romantic table in the restaurant.

Chelsea becomes concerned about the server mentioning her incorrect assumption to her boss, Abby, who’s an Abbott and that the news will reach the rest of the Abbott family. A few minutes later, Billy calls the server over and clarifies that he and Chelsea are not on a date. He leaves the server a $50 tip, which Chelsea jokes about being a bribe.

Chelsea invites Billy into her apartment where she makes tea for them. Billy lets her know that he’s being “uber cautious” about their friendship. Chelsea assures him that she is fine. Billy tells her that he feels like he got a glimpse into her soul, felt like he saw her, and that’s a gift.

Chelsea isn’t sure what to make of their evening together, but lets Billy know that she had a wonderful time. They talk about how they went through something traumatizing and intense together.  Chelsea tells Billy that it goes both ways, over the past few months she’s seen his soul, too. She adds that she knows who he is and it brings her a lot of comfort. She tenderly kisses his cheek.

Nick comes to Sally’s suite with all kinds of healthy snacks and finds her crying. When he asks what’s wrong, she tells him that hormones, fears and emotions are overwhelming her. She also opens up about being devastated when her parents let her down and is concerned about doing the same thing to her own child.

Unbeknownst to Sally and Nick, Adam shows up at the hotel and is about to knock on Sally’s door. He hears Nick’s voice inside her suite, decides against knocking on the door, and leaves.

Meanwhile, Nick is assuring Sally that he will be there for her. He mentions being there for picking out furniture for the nursery and buying baby books. He adds that he will be there for the pregnancy, birth, school, soccer, recitals … everything.  Sally tells him that no baby could have a better father.

They start kissing and passion leads them to make love. Immediately afterward, Sally says she has something to tell Nick, it’s about the baby, and that Adam could be the father.

Meanwhile, Adam is alone at the hotel bar, having a drink and gazing around unhappily.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You really slept with one Uhhuh . The ink on our divorce papers isn’t even dry yet, and you already slept with that horrible woman. Uh, I’m right here, but I do know is officially none of your business. I wanna make something clear. I don’t want you putting Gwen down how defending your girlfriend’s honor.

She couldn’t be way too rid of a criminal like me. What you care how I spend my night?

You laughing at me because you do this every time we go out to breakfast. Do what? Take half an hour dithering over the menu.

How many years have we been coming here for breakfast? And you always order the same thing. Do not. Western almond skilled potatoes and crisp bacon. Sometimes I order sausage . Oh, I do love that about you. You know what you want. That’s a fact.

Show what you gonna be? Sweet Rose. I Gotted style. Ooh, peanut butter, bacon and banana sandwich. Seriously, I added that one. It’s the king’s absolute favorite breakfast. And when I say King, I don’t, don’t, I don’t want breakfast. Do you understand? All I want is information. Where is Kayla? Hello? Can anybody hear me?

I’ve been dead for weeks and nobody’s come from me. Hello, anybody? Oh, is that a voice? No, sounds familiar. Excuse me, Kate. Hello, is anyone in charge here?

I’m

Hello. Hello? Can I get some service?

Hello? Hello? Are you ignoring me? Don’t touch me.

Jordan, welcome to

like Sam through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Hey, did you get any sleep last night? Oh, I don’t know. Maybe a couple hours. How about you? Well, you know, I think, uh, I’m sleeping a little better, I guess. You, uh, want your regular just coffee please. Thanks. Long way to come for just coffee. Hmm. Well, I got a text from Steve. He wants to talk to me. I’m assuming it’s on funeral arrangements.

Yeah, yeah. You know, I think as difficult as that’s gonna be once we all get through it, maybe baby, maybe it just might be a little easier to. Keep going. Well, I hope you’re right about that, Roman, without doubt by my side, I don’t think anything is gonna ever be easy again.

You’re still threatening over Dr. Kay. Shoot. She was my.

She is my best friend and I need to find her. So would you please check your list? Oh, But only because you are my best friend in the whole white world. All right, now I’ve already looked under both Junction and Brady. Just, just keep checking. Okay. Just ready.

Well here it is. So fool. Put it under K for Kayla. Well that’s great cuz Nash is in the good place too. Just like you.

Jordan Ridgeway. I can’t believe this. It has been such a long time, Kate, and we have so much catching up to. Yeah. Well, I guess it’s official then, because if I’m stuck here with you, that means I died and went straight to hell. Kate, Kate, Kate is me. Kayla, your sister-in-law. I’m, I’m, I mean, I’m in this room with a locked door.

It’s been weeks. Somebody, anybody please get me the hell out of here. We don’t usually cuss up here.

Oh my God.

I was so surprised when they told me you were here. I thought for sure they made a mistake.

It’s really you. Oh.

You feel like I didn’t even know. You seem to have me sized up the other day. I’m just a lying, kidnapping thug. Isn’t that right? Do you deny that you traumatized Bonnie or that you are part of the reason that Susan is dead?

I shouldn’t be surprised that the night that our marriage ended, you slept with someone else. But if all the women in the world did it have to be her,

look at you got your appetite. I’m just so relieved that Kayla is where she deserves to be. I think I’m gonna need a friend and so will she. Oh, don’t you worry your little head about Dr. Kayla Cha. Cause she is about to meet a

now. Ah, Adrian, we have all missed you so much. I wish Steve could see you and, and Justin and the kids. I know my passing was a tremendous shock to them. It was for all of us. I just keep thinking of my family and what they must be going through right now. You know, I, I, I always assumed that people in heaven didn’t have the care in the world.

I’ll tell you something, I am so worried about. And how much pain he must be in. All I know is your husband is gonna be okay with a little help from his friends.

Hey guys. I’m sorry, but you’re gonna have to leave. What? Yeah, this place has been booked for a private event today. I guess nobody told you. That’s right. Well, and don’t worry about the bill. I’ll take care. You want us to just go? Yeah, I can come back tomorrow for breakfast. The breakfast will be on Roman, by the way.

But you have to go right now. I won’t. You, uh, take your toast with you he way to the car. Here you go. More shoes for you. Don’t worry about the glass. Roman won’t mind Right this way.

What the hell was that all about? Well, something tells me that this meeting is not about funeral arrangements. You got that right? Okay. Well, since I own this place, you wanna tell me what’s going on? We have a new case. We are on bereavement bereave. Not anymore. What kind of case is. The kind that needs to be top secret.

Oh, great. So this is my punishment for a lifetime of sin and shame being, being stuck in hell with you. Still as melodramatic and self-centered as ever. Honk Kate, an fyi. The infernal region. This ain’t, oh really? Oh. So where are we then? Well, we call this the in between place. It’s not as majestic as heaven, not as sweltering as hell.

We’re somewhere in between. Oh, so how long will I have to be? I mean, how many decades of rosaries am I going to have to say before I get that upgrade? It’s not that simple. The souls of individuals who end up here must be judged to see if they’re worthy of moving forward or if they must descend the eternal stairway all the way to the bottom floor.

So who’s going to judge my. Let go get them.

Oh, Dr. Kayla Johnson is in very good hands. . And what about Kate?

Do you suppose it, she made it here as well? I made anything.

Would you check your list again

please? Okay. But this is the last look she that I can do for you.

Look how your horses, you don’t got enough places to look. You know, I got beef for Brady. R for Roberts. D for Damara. What about, what about Cave for Kate? Oh, well, I.

She is. Oh. Oh, that’s wonderful. Kate needed to heaven. Not exactly.

So my eternal fate is in your hands. Damn right it is. Well, I don’t see how that’s fair. You see, when we were alive, you hated. And you don’t think I had good reason? I mean, besides the fact that you are a miserable excuse for a human being. You were so jealous of my relationship with rape that you went digging around behind my back trying to sabotage me.

Talk about holding a grudge. A grudge. Oh, this is more than a grudge lady. This is hatred for all of e. What, why be? Just because I was curious about you because I was trying to find out what your story was just because you found Clyde Weston and told him where I was hiding. I didn’t know what he had done to you, Jordan.

Irrelevant. Okay, you, you brought the man who molested me back to Salem thereby ruining my life and now it is finally coming back to ha new Catherine. Finally,

if you wanted to hurt me, you succeeded. You slept with the heartless bitch. That left me wasting away on Kristen’s private island. Here we go again. Oh, I’m sorry. Are you sick of hearing about all the awful things that you did to me and the people that I love? That’s really too bad. Did it slip your. That she worked overtime to convince you that I didn’t love you anymore.

All while knowing I was wandering around Kristin’s creaky old mansion, thinking I was some dead heiress named Renee. I remember, or maybe after Chad and Abigail rescued me, you’ll remember that your bed made. Gave me a second dose of a drug that could have left me permanently brain damaged. No, but it didn’t did it because you’re able to recall every single thing that I’ve done wrong.

And for your most recent unforgivable, wrong wrongdoing, sleeping with the sadistic a. Which,

so if you’re looking for a way to really get back at me for divorcing you, congratulations, you did it. Hats off to you.

Okay. Try not to worry. Steve has a great support system. John and Roman would go to the mat for him and so would your kids. Yeah. But John and Roman and Tripp, and Joey and Stephanie, they are all grieving too. They need Steve and I, I just, I just think, uh, think what? Tell me. I just think that Im the only one that really knows him.

I mean, you do of course, but you’re not there either. And I just know that when Steve is in this kind of. She couldn’t really go to a dark place. Look, I am excited that you are willing to tell me details of the top level Black patch case. But I stopped playing cops in robbers a long time ago. I’m running the business now, Steve, and you’re costing me paying customer.

Okay,

Dave, keep you. Damn Mike this. Damn. What is it about this case that’s got you so jacked up partner.

The client is me. What is up me? I’ve been thinking about. What’s gonna keep me going now that I’ve lost? Kayla came to me in the middle of the night. The three of us are gonna kill Orpheus.

Adrian, you remember how it was when I first met Steve, all he thought about was how he was gonna get back at someone who crossed him. Honey, that was decades ago. I know. But, but, but now, this whole thing that’s happened with Cade and Marlena and me, I just like the whole thing is gonna flare up again. And you were always there to talk him down.

Right. But I’m not there. Adrian, I am just so worth, but what sort of trouble Steve is gonna get into now. So you want the three of us to commence me? Can we slow this down a minute, guys? You both know it would be a service to humanity to put Orpheus down like a rabid dog. Yeah. Andy Self Steve, but I’m a retired police commissioner.

I shouldn’t even be hearing this. What are you worried about? Your pension, Steve? You know damn well isn’t it? I took her oath. Yeah. And where did that oath get Kate? And what about the vows we made to our wives? Huh? We promised to love, honor, and protect them. Now, maybe you can live with the way they died, but I can’t.

We failed them Roman. If you know what, there’s a very good chance that Orpheus could end up on death row. You don’t have to go rogue. Let the system take care of it. The system. Are you kidding? You’re gonna leave Orpheus’s fate up to Melinda Trask, for God’s sake. We’re the ones he’s after. We’re the ones who need to end him.

Do you know what I find? Absolutely hilarious. In all of this, the concepts of honor and integrity, you holy hortons, you just have no problem looking down on us and passing judgment, but then you’ll turn the other direction when it works for you. Do you know what? My police record is nowhere near as bad as Zanders is.

Sorry darling. But you had absolutely no problem ripping off his kilt and blowing on his bagpipes every chance that you got, did you? I believed he wanted a change. He didn’t want to work for Ava Vitali. He didn’t want to kidnap Susan or Bonnie. Do you know why he did it for you for the money so that he could support you and the lifestyle that you are so very used to you sanctimonious judgment.

Okay. Goodness. That’s enough.

I’m glad she. It explains everything you would think. Kidnapping for hire is a perfectly acceptable way to make a living, even if one of the victims dies.

Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t send your twisted, destructive soul straight to the bad place. What about your twisted little soul Jordan? Here you are in the afterlife. You still can’t find it in your heart. To forgive an innocent mistake, innocent you call subjecting the good citizens of Salem to a sick homicidal predator who molested his stepdaughter, who killed a mother of two and cold blood, an innocent mistake.

I call that a tragic and indefensible mistake. Oh, what are you saying? Are you blaming me for Abigail? Well, you are to blame. If you hadn’t brought Clyde West into town, Abigail Dara would still be alive. Those children would still have a mother. Okay. Just hold on. All right? Because Clyde would never have stopped looking for his son.

He would’ve founded you and Ben. It didn’t matter whether I intervened or not. And as I told you before, when I went looking for Clyde, I had no idea of what he had done to you when I thought that you were hiding something. That’s what I. But when I did find out how he had abused you, I felt horrible. Oh, so horrible in fact that you did nothing.

Yes, you’re right. I did not, I did not act quickly enough when I found out I should have washed my hands of him completely. And I didn’t. I didn’t. And I’m sorry. I am sorry for that, dude. All right. You’re. Now that I have your soul in my hands. Opportunistic much.

Okay. I get it. I do. It’s um, it’s too little, too late, but it is a sincere apology, Jordan.

Okay, look, you’ve gone on and on. My transgressions. Right. But you turn a totally blind eye to the the pluses of my record.

Okay. Kate, please indulge me with the pluses of your record. I always tried to be the best mother that I could. I was always there for my children no matter what, doing whatever I had to do to them. And they knew that. They knew that I was devoted to them. And then later in life, a good man, Roman Brady, it found it in his heart to forgive me and love me, a person like me.

And to my amazement, I found great happiness leaving with him in our apartment over the pub.

So can, considering that, don’t you think possibly I have a soul that could be saved?

Look, I, I know you have legitimate grievances against me. I really, I really do. But I have to tell you, I have changed. Roman really brought out a better side in me. You know, I was, I was less selfish. I was more compassionate kind of

well, You do make a compelling argument, but I’m gonna need proof. Okay? What do I have to do? You can sign a document that confirms your genuine contrition. All right, I’ll, I’ll sign that. If you are lying, the document will burst into flames immediately and you’ll be doomed for all of its. Okay. All right.

That’s fine. I, I will sign it. I can sign it. Okay. Here we go. I’m just gonna need you to sign right here next to every single word I uttered to Judge Ridgeway was the God’s honest truth.

No flame. Okay. Okay. Well then I guess I do believe that you feel sorry for ruining my life, albeit too late. And you are on a path to being a better person. It’s never too late for that, I suppose.

Well, I have to thank you so much for coming around the way that you. So maybe now we can fast track this transfer to heaven. I know this is staircase, but is there an elevator? Not so fast. But you said that I made my case. I said it was compelling. The decision of whether you make it up to the good place.

Well, that’s beyond my pay grade. But you said you were my judge. I am. And I am recommending that you move forward to the.

This document certifies that you have completed arbitration with me. So does that mean that I never, ever have to see you again? Careful. But thankfully, yes. Take this with you. You may now advance to the next round.

This is so great. Thank you. You have made. Oh, are you in my eternity? Jordan? You are an angel. Hardly. I really hope that Kate’s judges is fair and unbiased. Oh, everybody hears fair and unbiased. Now you gotta stop getting your head over your lady friends. See Dr. Kayla Brady Johnson and that moon. Okay.

They gotta make their own spiritual journey. Yeah. Now see, you need to start thinking about how you wanna spend eternity. I have.

I would like to see the people that I’ve lost. I’d like to see my baby DJ and my twin sister, Samantha. Oh, it would be so good to see Tom and Alice Horton again. And Sean and Caroline. Great. Oh my goodness. Yes. All in time. Only in time. Now, first you need to shine your release paper. What is it? Well, oh my goodness, , this is to advance you to the next level of heaven.

Okay. And that, that’s where the G is. All you need to do is shine your name,

you say, so you say so. There you go.

Kayla, after everything you’ve been through, I, I hate to think of you stressing so much over Steve. How can I not? He’s my husband. The love of my life. Kayla, your life is here now in.

What’s that? You’re way out of this room and it’s the afterlife. All you have to do is sign on the dotted line. Well, what is it exactly? It’s just a formality really. It states that you relinquish your earthly life and pledge your iort soul to God. Can’t I have a lawyer? Look at it. We don’t get too many of those.

It’s okay. Seriously me.

So this is about payback. It’s about protecting our families. Listen, Roman, I respect you for living by your code, but the problem with that is it makes you predictable to Orpheus. He only understands one form of justice and I for an eye, and he’s never gonna stop making us pay for his wife’s death. Hell by now.

It’s just a game to him. Look, I know the justice system isn’t perfect, but I still believe in it, and you can’t ask me to take the lawn to my own hands. I’m not asking just you. I want the three of us to do that. John Toxin sent to him. I’ve been listening to both of you.

I agree with. Steve, let’s get that bastard.

If you want to go along with this. John, you really can’t believe the killer Nous is the answer here, Wil. There’s something you don’t know.

When Orpheus was first released from prison, Steve wanted to meet me here. We sat at that table right there, and he told me that he wanted to take Orpheus out before he hurt or killed anyone. And I talked him out of it, and I use the same argument. She’s just.

Now, if I hadn’t done that, we would probably be having breakfast with our beautiful wives right now. So I gotta side with my partner. We need to wind this earth of my low arm now. No. Okay.

Hello? You’re all sucking. Your destiny. He’s waiting for you. You’re gonna come with me, right? Oh, I’m afraid you have to take this next step on your own, but we’ll have plenty of time together, I promise you that. I sure hope so. Adrian, spend his time with you. It’s really warm for my heart. Oh, sing the hair.

It’s,

you’re right. I worked , I told you. Okay.

Kayla Brady Johnson, you are so gullible.

What is next? Well, I’m just going to take this upstairs. I’m gonna file it and then I’m gonna come write that down here and I’m gonna introduce you to your Heavenly host and I am not talking about Ms. Hilda. Ms. Jan on that there today Show.

Marlina. Oh my gosh, Kayla. Oh, I’m so glad to see you. What are you doing here? Well, um, I’m, I come to the virus. Same. Is the same as you and Kate. No, no. I prayed and prayed. They would find an antidote to save you in time. It’s okay. I’m where I’m supposed to be.

Take this with you up those stairs. Well, I guess this is it then. Ah, let me just say once again from the bottom of my heart. Thanks for not holding me back,

Kate. Thank you.

Have you said everything you wanted to say or is there more? I honestly think that you and I don’t ever need to say another word to each other. Once Justin files those papers, you and Gwen will be free to spend the rest of your lives doing what you do best. Bringing mis.

God help this town.

Why? Wow. Kayla, you’re here too. Where are we? Ugh, I’m so relieved to see that you made it to the good place. I was worried about you. Ah, yes. I was so worried myself, but luckily, weirdly, judge Ridgeway took it easy on me, judge Ridgeway. Yes. The fate of my eternal soul was in the hands of none other than my ex-friend Jordan Ridgeway.

What I said to Sarah, and I was a bit harsh a bit, I just, I couldn’t. How going after you like that? Going after us? Of course you couldn’t, I mean, however harsh you were, it was only in reaction to Sarah lashing out at you. She provoked you go. Did you intimate? Well, this is quite new. What is you taking up for me like this, especially in regards to Sarah?

Well, you had my bag when the whole kidnapping thing blew up in my face, and I think about what that cost you. I don’t regret a single thing. Neither do I. I mean, for the first time in ages. You know what? Well, it feels good. Didn’t about you, but I’m sick of apologizing for who I am. Right? I mean, why should we have to go around town holding our little hats to people like my father and Sarah?

Yeah. I mean, it doesn’t work anyway. They just end up assuming. They assume the worst of us regardless of what we do.

I say we’ve proven, right? What does that mean? I say we take the good people of Salem for everything we can get.

Roman, I heard what you said before. We can’t do this without you. It’ll be like this conversation never happened. No, no, no. Why? If you’re gonna do this, it’s gotta be all or nothing. So what are you saying? I’m saying I’m man. Let’s make damn sure that Orpheus never hurts another living. So

you were locked in a room. I mean, that doesn’t sound very heavenly, and I thought purgatory was. Good. Good. Goody. The game is y’all here now. I need those papers you two signed

and I to sign papers too. Adrian brought them to me. Yo. Jordan Ridgeway made me sign papers as I couldn’t get out Purgatory. Oh, I show sure ladies. There’s benefit of a confusion. Why? What’s the matter? Well, I’m in Katy. That was not Jordan Ridgeway with you and Kayla, you were not visited by your lady sister-in-law.

Who was it? And I also hate to warm you, Dr. Ing. I am not your damn.

Well then who are you?

It’s you.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Chelsea: Thank you.

People say this is the most romantic table at society. Enjoy your evening.

Chelsea: Oh, thanks, but we’re not on A…

Billy: I’m not sure what makes this table the most romantic table. I mean, I’ve sat at every table here. There’s, I mean, nothing special about this table. I think she’s just trying to ingratiate herself, right? And she can expect a big tip from me for doing so.

Chelsea: Yeah, but that was weird, right?

Billy: What part of it?

Chelsea: Well, she totally misinterpreted why we’re here.

Billy: Yeah, she did.

Chelsea: Yeah. She — she thought we were on a date.

Billy: Yeah.

Chelsea: But we’re not on a — wait, do you think this is a date?

Nick: Hey, sally, it’s me. I got all your, uh — your healthy snacks. I got bananas and carrots and rice cakes, hummus. I even got caramel corn. I know it’s not healthy, but i brought it anyway. What happened?

Nate: Give me the data on those music streamers. There might be an opportunity there for our advertisers. Tonight would be great, but first thing tomorrow works, too. Thanks.

Victoria: I was hoping i would find you here.

Nate: Uh, just to be sure I’m putting in the hours and you’re getting your money’s worth?

Victoria: I never worry about that with you. No, I need your help with something.

Nate: What’s going on?

Victoria: This is what’s going on. It’s the good stuff.

Nate: Nice. Okay, now, I know the company has a lot of divisions, but i didn’t know we had a distillery on site.

Victoria: Well, that’s not a bad idea, but we don’t have one yet.

[ Laughs ] It was a gift. I was told to open it on a special occasion. So, we’re opening it tonight.

Nate: Okay. What’s the occasion?

Victoria: We are gonna forget about business as usual, and we are gonna step outside of the box.

Billy: You know, now that I’m actually starting to pay attention, that is definitely the most romantic table in this joint.

Chelsea: Really?

Billy: Yeah.

Chelsea: What’s the criteria?

Billy: That would be instinct.

Chelsea: Ah. No, I think you’re just trying to distract me from that awkward moment earlier.

Billy: Why, because she thinks we’re on a date?

Chelsea: Well, you didn’t answer my question.

Billy: Here’s the thing. When I’m on a date with someone, they know it’s a date. I can be that charming.

Chelsea: Oh, really?

Billy: I said i can be.

Chelsea: [ Laughs ] Well, I am sorry I jumped to conclusions.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] You’re forgiven.

Chelsea: I mean, all joking aside, it’s, I’m sure, way too soon for you to be dating. You just broke up with lily.

Billy: You’re probably right about that.

Chelsea: And that’s certainly the case with me, you know, especially after everything I’ve been through the past few months.

Billy: That’d be a tricky first-date conversation.

Chelsea: Yeah.

Billy: Look, just to ease your mind — okay? — This is nothing more than two friends just checking in on each other, okay? We’ll enjoy some food. We’ll talk about whatever we want, nothing more. That is my promise to you.

Chelsea: I like the sound of that.

Billy: And just to drive the point home, at the end the night, we’ll split the check.

Chelsea: [ Laughs ] That’s fair.

[ Both laugh ]

Diane: Flowers, candles, champagne. And why are you wearing a tux?

Jack: Well, I got out of the shower and I went to the closet and I saw this hanging there. And I thought, “boy, I haven’t worn a tuxedo in a long time.” And I look good in a tuxedo.

Diane: Yes, you certainly do. But, jack, I was just here. How did you pull this together so quickly?

Jack: Oh, I had a little help.

Diane: Oh. Kyle and summer?

Jack: Actually, mrs. Martinez.

Diane: Ah. Ah. Well, I’ll be sure and thank her the next time I see her. You know, this is amazing, but I’m half-expecting the rest of the abbotts to come waltzing through at any minute, and i doubt they’ll be as smitten with your efforts as I am.

Jack: Kyle and summer have taken harrison to the movies. Allie is out with friends. Traci is on a plane on her way to new york to see her publisher. We are alone in this house. You can relax.

Diane: Well, that’s good to know. I know a lot of people are probably thinking the worst of this relationship. They might even think that I was pursuing you all along. But come on. Look at you.

[ Laughs ] Look what you did here tonight. How could I not be falling for you all over again?

Jack: How could you not?

Diane: Mm. [ Chuckles ]

Jack: To hell with the naysayers. To us.

Diane: To us.

[ Glasses clink ]

[ Chuckles ]

Nick: Come on. Talk to me.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Nick: Tell me what’s going on.

Sally: Can we just write it off as hormones? My mind, my body, they’re just — they’re just overwhelmed. And — I don’t know. Everything’s in full-on baby mode right now.

Nick: It seems like there’s more to it than that.

Sally: I don’t know. The whole blood pressure problem got me thinking about so many things that can go wrong bringing a child into this world. That’s not even taking into account when the child’s actually here and having to take care of it and having to raise it. I mean, this is just… this is just my first moment of true and genuine fear. And it definitely won’t be the last. I mean, the child’s not even gonna be here for months, and I’m already a mess? How the hell am I gonna be a mom? I used to pre-rinse dishes cause my old detergent

Victoria: Here you go.

Nate: [ Sniffs ] Wow. Whew. It smells so smooth, it probably drinks itself.

Victoria: 25-year-old single malt. I told you, it’s the good stuff.

Nate: Mmm.

Victoria: Mm-hmm.

Nate: Must be some box we’re stepping out of.

[ Both laugh ]

Victoria: I just thought that it would be nice to step away from the 9:00-to-5:00 corporate structure.

Nate: I thought you thrived in that environment.

Victoria: Well, normally i do, but I learned from my father that sometimes it’s good to mix things up, to escape, to brainstorm, to generate ideas, especially when you have your sights set on a target that might be just a little bit unorthodox.

Nate: You have to think like the target. That makes sense. Mmm. Another one of these, and i might generate all the ideas.

Victoria: Ah, see? I think it’s working.

Nate: Okay, so, what is our target?

Victoria: I want to scoop up omega sphere, and I want to take down mccall unlimited.

Nate: You want to go after tucker mccall? I’ll drink to that.

[ Glasses clink ]

Victoria: That’s right.

Nick: Look, this is completely normal, okay? You’re supposed to have fears about becoming a parent.

Sally: Yeah, but you’re not supposed to be overwhelmed by them.

Nate: Of course you are. Everybody goes through it.

Sally: Even you?

Nick: Yeah, even me. Seriously, I was worried sick with every kid. Now, it did get easier, but it’s still very scary.

Sally: But you’re a natural. I’ve seen you with your kids. You’ve got, like, a dozen world’s best dad mugs.

Nick: Well, if everybody says it, it must be true.

Sally: [ Laughs ]

Nick: Look, I got those mugs ironically. Before noah was born, I wasn’t ready for that. I was a mess, like you are, too, but you’re gonna get through it. I promise. You know, part of the problem is the buildup. Nine months seems like it’s forever. But trust me — it goes by so fast. And then the baby gets here, and everything changes.

Sally: Yeah, then it gets really scary.

Nick: No, no, no. That’s the crazy part. When your baby’s born and you see it and you get to hold it, it’s just — everything makes sense. Right now, everything is like the unknown for you, but I’m telling you, when they hand that baby to you, you can’t imagine loving something that much. The fear goes away, and everything becomes clear to you.

Sally: [ Sniffles ] So, that’s what it was like? It was like this magical transformation the second that noah was born?

Nick: I mean, of course there are some bumps and mistakes along the way. I got to be a dad. You know, my life went in a completely different direction. It was natural. It’s going to be that way for you, too.

Sally: Look, I can believe that you became this outstanding father that you were always meant to be fairly easily. It’s just different for me.

Nick: How so?

Sally: When you were growing up, you had a loving mother and father around. Even if they weren’t always together, you knew that they loved you, right?

Nick: Yeah, of course.

Sally: [ Inhales sharply ] I never had that. I — I learned that people let each other down very young.

[ Sniffles ] And as an adult, I’ve learned to deal with it, but as a child

[Voice breaking] It was devastating. The thought of doing that to my own kid, it just — it makes my chest tighten up so much that i can barely breathe.

[ Sighs, sniffles ]

Nick: [ Smooches ]

Sally: [ Gasps ]

Billy: Ooh [Clicks tongue] I think I’m gonna do the clams and the muscles.

Chelsea: Sounds delicious.

Billy: You know what? I’m definitely not. I’m definitely gonna do the crab enchiladas. I can’t say no to those.

Chelsea: [ Sighs heavily ]

Billy: What’s on your mind?

Chelsea: It’s nothing.

Billy: No, it’s — it’s something because you’ve been here a thousand times. You know everything that’s on that menu, and yet you’ve been staring at it for 10 minutes.

Chelsea: [ Whispering ] Our server.

Billy: [ Whispering ] What about her?

Chelsea: She thinks we’re on a date.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] I think she made an innocent mistake.

Chelsea: Yeah, but what if she knows who we are?

Billy: Yeah, maybe she does. I don’t — I don’t see the problem.

Chelsea: Well, she’s gonna say something to abby, like, “I saw your uncle billy with chelsea lawson on a date.” And then it creates a whole rigamarole, and then your family gets involved. I mean, is that what we want?

Billy: No, no, we definitely do not want my family asking any questions about what’s going on between us. Excuse me?

Chelsea: What are you doing?

Billy: Damage control.

Is everything okay?

Billy: Everything is fantastic. We are just about to order, but, um, something that’s a little bit more important for you to know — um, this is not a date.

Music (“I swear”) plays

Diane: How long have you been planning this?

Jack: Uh, I was gonna do something special on new year’s eve, but we kind of had other things to deal with.

Diane: Yes, I am glad that’s all behind us.

Jack: You know what? I’m glad I waited.

Diane: Why is that?

Jack: Because I’m even more enamored with you than I was just weeks ago.

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: If you haven’t noticed, I’m kind of taken with you.

Diane: Mm. Likewise. And you don’t even need this tux to impress me, although I do appreciate the effort. You know, this is, uh — this is incredible. A year ago, I would have never imagined that this was happening. I didn’t even know if I could return to my old life here. But for the two of us to have found each other again, it takes my breath away. I mean, nobody could have predicted this.

Jack: There I have to disagree with you. As unexpected, as unpredictable as this moment was, I — I think it’s been in the cards for a long time.

Diane: What do you mean?

Jack: Finding you again may just be the fulfillment of a prophecy, all brought about by my mother.

Nate: I love it. This is bold. This is the kind of move devon would have quashed at chancellor-winters. Too risky.

Victoria: Well, I told you, we do things differently here.

Nate: Yes. I love it. Alright, look, let’s jump right in. First things first, we need to lure daniel and his project to newman media.

Victoria: That’s right. We need to give him something that chancellor-winters can’T. What is that?

Nate: The full power and magnitude of newman enterprises. We have deeper pockets.

Victoria: Yes. Well, the money angle is good, but it might take a little more to convince daniel.

Nate: Well, I can let daniel know that chancellor-winters will micromanage and second-guess him constantly.

Victoria: You’re right.

Nate: Mm-hmm.

Victoria: He’s an artist. He won’t have any control over his baby over there.

Nate: They will be breathing down his neck every step of the way.

Victoria: Why don’t we make that a part of the agreement? Give him autonomy. Put that in writing.

Nate: They’d never give it to him.

Victoria: We’re starting to look pretty good in comparison, don’t you think?

Nate: And I know how they typically structure their deals. We’ll just have to make sure we’re better at it.

Victoria: Wow. You really were wasted over there, weren’t you? They had no idea what they had at chancellor-winters.

Nate: And you haven’t heard about my secret weapon yet.

Nick: I want to help you. I’m just not sure how.

Sally: Well, you brought snacks. That’s pretty good.

Nick: Yeah.

Sally: Although I cannot believe you brought me caramel corn.

Nate: I can take that home with me.

Sally: Oh, don’t you dare. Look, I’m — I’m really sorry that I dumped all this on you.

Nick: That is not the way this works, sally. We’re in this together. You’re not dumping anything on me. You’re sharing, and I want you to continue to do that, alright?

Sally: It’s just hard for me to lean on anyone.

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Nick: I know you don’t wanna look too far into the future, but all we have to do is get you through your next doctor’s appointment. Everything gets a lot less scary.

Sally: Maybe.

Nick: I’m here for all of it, from picking out furniture for the nursery to buying all the “I’m having a baby” books. I’m here, okay?

Sally: And snacks. Can you be in charge of snacks?

Nick: Well, obviously.

[ Both laugh ] I’m the king of snacks. You’re never gonna be hungry around me. Everything — I’m serious — from pregnancy to births to school to recitals, soccer, sleepovers. I’ll be right there with you. I promise.

Sally: That sounds amazing.

Nick: It will be.

Sally: You know, besides all of, like, the soccer and the santa claus and all the other kid stuff… where does that leave us? Where do we stand?

Nate: I don’t have an answer, uh, for you regarding that. I think it’s too soon for us to make a decision about our future. But as far as being a parent, I’m solid, okay? That I am certain of. Hey. What’s wrong?

Sally: [ Sniffles ]

Nick: What’s wrong? I thought I was doing a pretty decent job making you feel better. What’s bothering you now?

Sally: [ Inhales sharply ] If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

How was everything?

Billy: Everything was great. Thank you.

Chelsea: It was delicious.

Well, let me know if I can get you anything else.

Billy: O-okay.

Chelsea: You know, I can’t tell whether she’s charmed by you or annoyed by you.

Billy: It’s definitely one or the other, but that’s the way it goes with me. It’s a love and hate thing, not a lot in between.

Chelsea: And why do you think that is?

Billy: I’m a lot.

Chelsea: You are a lot.

Billy: Yeah. [ Chuckles ] Yeah. See, but that’s why this could not be a date — because I would never actually admit that to someone that I was on a date with.

Chloe: That’s a very good point. Well, I wasn’t so concerned whether we thought it was a date. It was more, would your family think this is a date?

Billy: I think my family is a little, uh, busy right now. Apparently, jack and diane are back together.

Chelsea: Huh. Well, you don’t seem too troubled about that.

Billy: I believe in giving someone a second chance.

Chelsea: Sometimes a third chance.

Billy: Whatever it takes.

Chelsea: Well, I’m grateful for it.

Billy: I know what you’re thinking — dessert.

Chelsea: [ Gasps ] I was thinking about dessert. How did you know?

Billy: It’s a talent. I can usually tell when someone’s thinking dessert. I’m usually right. Who doesn’t love dessert?

Chelsea: Yeah. Thank you for this. Dinner with you is exactly what I needed.

Diane: Sorry I wasn’t here when your mother died. She was an amazing woman. But I still don’t see how dina predicted that you and I would reunite after years of everyone thinking I was dead.

Jack: My mother didn’t exactly predict it. Her jewelry did.

Diane: [ Laughs ] What in the world are you talking about? Wait a second. How much champagne have you had?

Jack: [ Laughs ] Hear me out.

Diane: Okay.

Jack: Years ago, when they first met, my father bought my mother an antique emerald necklace. It was beautiful, had lots of history, even had a name — the teardrop of love.

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: I have pictures of dina upstairs, a very young dina wearing it proudly. Anyway, when they split up, my mother traveled all over the world, and in her travels, somehow that necklace got lost. So, just before she died, I was able to track it down.

Diane: Well, I’m — I’m sure she appreciated that.

Jack: Oh, boy, did she. It was quite a reunion. And when she died, each of us got a little piece of the necklace. My section…

Diane: Ah.

Jack: …Got me these cufflinks.

Diane: Nice. And that’s a lovely story, but i still don’t see how it predicted that we would get back together.

Jack: There was a legend attached to the necklace. It held that whoever wore the necklace, whoever was around the gem, found love.

Diane: I see.

Jack: Over time, I realized that if the legend is true, it might just be about family love. After diana died, I was closer to kyle and my sisters and billy and abby and the whole abbott family.

Diane: Hmm.

Jack: But now it turns out the teardrop of love may not have only brought me family love. It may have brought me a beautiful, captivating, gorgeous woman. Maybe the gem just needed a little time to do its magic. That kiss was brought to you by my lucky cufflinks.

Diane: [ Laughs ] I think it had more to do with how charming and thoughtful and handsome you are, but you can think whatever you like.

Jack: You know what? Now that the teardrop has brought us this far, maybe it’s time we take our fate into our own hands, decide where things go next with us.

Sally: [ Breathes deeply ]

Nick: What is it? Sally, you know you can share with me. In fact, you should share with me. I’m here to carry this burden for you.

Sally: Look, I already knew you were gonna be an amazing father. There was no question about that. I’m just concerned.

Nick: About what?

Sally: We were gonna take things slow. We made a point of that. And now the pregnancy and everything is just moving at warp speed, and, I mean, who knows where we’re going? Every decision I make from now on isn’t just for me. I have to get this right.

Nick: And we will. Honestly, I’m still not sure what we’re talking about. What do we have to get right?

Sally: No baby could have a better father. And that is all that matters. I just got my elite box and i am so excited to dive in. I never know what I’m gonna get. Having a personal stylist makes me feel like a complete queen. So powerful. I feel sexy! The elite box by adore me. Get styled for only $10 at adoreme.Com. My asthma felt anything but normal.

Diane: You know I’m not crazy about planning ahead.

Jack: I do know that about you. It’s understandable.

Diane: You know, I’ve had the rug pulled out from under me too many times. I just — I love being here in the present, right now. I’M… I just have a hard time picturing the future. I just… I’m just focusing on being grateful every day with you.

Jack: I love the sound of that. So let me do the grand planning for both of us. You can settle into it when you’re comfortable.

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: I think what we have is awfully special, and I don’t want to waste it.

Diane: I know, jack, but i don’t think —

Jack: I’m not talking about anything written in stone. I’m not trying to be too serious here. I just want the chance to present you, when you are ready…

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: …With an image of what life could be for us. Only positives. Only positives. Nothing scary about that, right?

Diane: No, no, no. I — no, I guess not. So, what is it that you’re envisioning?

Jack: I see travel for us. I want to see all the grand sights of the world with you.

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: On school vacations, we can take harrison off on giant adventures in faraway lands.

Diane: Well, I like that idea.

Jack: And when that’s over, we can drop him off, and I can whisk you off to new york, to the met ball or paris for fashion week. I’ll be your escort.

Diane: [ Laughs ]

Jack: You can upstage all of the celebrities. You’ll probably have to wear a marchetti gown.

Diane: Well, of course. Listen, that all sounds fun, but it’s just — it’s just fantasy. I don’t need gowns or galas. What I want is…

[Voice breaking] Christmas, uh, christmas with the whole family. I want to — I want to celebrate the holidays with people that matter to me. I want… gosh, I want big family dinners where everybody sits around and shares their day and — and those traditional abbott breakfasts. I want picnics on the lake, you know, all those — all those special moments that I missed when I was away.

Jack: And that’s all?

Diane: And this. I want this moment right here with you because I feel — I feel worthy and wanted and safe. And, jack, I want a million moments more just like this. Ah.

[ Gasps, sniffles ]

Chelsea: Yeah, and I was very impressed you gave her a $50 tip. You know, that could be considered bribery.

Billy: In my experience, 50 bucks to buy someone’s silence — that’s a good deal.

Chelsea: Well, it was a lovely dinner.

Billy: It was. Very nice.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] You want to come in? Want some tea or something?

Billy: Tea? Is that the kids are calling it these days?

Chelsea: Don’t make it weird!

Billy: Okay. Yeah, you’re right. I’m not gonna ruin a good night.

Chelsea: I’m just kidding. It’s you and me. It can’t be weird.

Billy: Yeah.

Chelsea: Whew. Are you okay? You have the same look on your face you had at the restaurant when we were debating whether or not we were on a date. Seeing you flustered twice in one night — that’s rare.

Billy: I guess I’m just uber cautious about not making your life more difficult.

Chelsea: I’m okay. I am. Thanks to you, I’m on the right path. You don’t have to worry about me.

Billy: Yeah, well, I can’t help it. But just so you know, it goes both ways. I lean on you, as well. You know, being with you, hanging out like this — it’s been good for me. I don’t think about anything else. And, uh, you know, I’m just — I’m just here, and that’s nice.

Chelsea: I’m glad. I feel the same way.

[ Sighs ] The past few months have been really intense. I think you know me better than anybody.

Billy: Yeah. I feel like I got a glimpse into your soul. I feel like I saw you. And that’s a gift. I appreciate that.

Victoria: So, why are you keeping me in suspense here? What is your secret weapon?

Nate: Not what, but who? Audra. She left chancellor-winters, but she is still tight with tucker. She’s the one who let me know about his plans for omega sphere.

Victoria: Oh. So you have someone working on the inside. That’s great. I really appreciate you revealing your source. Most people would have tried to keep that quiet.

Nate: I trust you. I hope that goes both ways.

Victoria: [ Laughs ] It does. I have some information for you, too. My father and I have actually already discussed using audra as a way to take control of tucker’s company.

Nate: Ah. Great minds.

[ Both laugh ]

[ Glasses clink ]

Victoria: Yeah. You know, I do trust you completely, but we have to be very careful when it comes to audra. Tucker can’t find out about this, and if she slips up, he could be onto us.

Nate: She’s on our side. She’s agreed to keep me informed and help me predict his moves. We’ll stay one step ahead of him.

Victoria: I like the sound of that. But I’m still a little wary of her.

Nate: Fair enough. Look, she’s good at what she does, but part of that is playing the game. We’ll just have to play it better.

Victoria: I love that.

Nate: Mm. You know, most people don’t like this side of me. I find myself constantly keeping it under wraps. But being here with you, throwing out ideas, this — this is exhilarating.

Victoria: You know, you should never let anyone tell you who you are or how you should act. There’s nothing here that we’re doing wrong. If people want to judge us, they have no idea what it takes to fill our shoes, run a large company, leave behind a meaningful legacy. They have no idea what it takes to make things really happen.

Nate: [ Chuckles ]

Victoria: But you and me…

Nate: We do.

[ Bottle uncorks ]

Victoria: That’s damn right we do.

Nate: [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] #1 isn’t a status earned overnight.

Diane: As much fun as I’ve had fantasizing about our future, I do have some concerns, and I know it violates the “positives only” rule, but we can’t ignore it, jack.

Jack: So, let me guess. Your concerns mostly have to do with people who want to get in the way of our happiness.

Diane: Yes, and no matter how many times you tell me, it doesn’t matter. There are people who will make things difficult for us.

Jack: What does it matter? This is ours. We earned this. We deserve this.

Diane: I don’t know that i do.

Jack: Of course you do. I know now the lengths you went to, to find your way back to us. I know the sacrifices you made. When we were together last time, it didn’t work out because we weren’t the people we needed to be yet. We had to go out into the world and grow and learn and make mistakes so we could find our way back to each other. Now — now we are the people we need to be to make this work. And by luck or fate or the magic of a necklace…

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: …We are together. And I don’t want to waste a moment of this.

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ]

Victoria: [ Exhales sharply ] Uh… those were some really good ideas about omega sphere and — and tucker, too. These are actually the kind of ideas that we need around here. So, good job.

Nate: Uh, great. Um, I’ll, um, set things motion first thing in the morning.

Victoria: Okay.

[ Clears throat ] I-I really think that we have something great started here. I’m — I’m starting to feel it.

Nate: Yeah, I’m feeling it, too.

[ Clears throat ]

Victoria: Okay, great. Well, I’m just gonna leave that here, and maybe we can finish it some other time. The — the drinking.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] Right.

[ Clears throat ]

Victoria: Have a good night, nate.

Nate: You too, victoria.

[ Footsteps departing ]

[ Sighs heavily ]

[ Door opens ]

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Chelsea: I don’t really know what tonight was, but I do know I had a wonderful time.

Billy: Thank you.

Chelsea: I also know I would never want to do anything to jeopardize our friendship.

Billy: No. No, I agree. And that’s — that’s not gonna happen.

Chelsea: The reality is we went through something traumatizing together, something really intense. But we — we got through it, and we came out the other side.

Billy: Yeah, we did.

Chelsea: And you were right, what you said before.

[ Sighs ] It does go both ways. Over the past few months, I’ve seen your soul, too. I know who you are. And it brings me a lot of comfort.

Sally: I feel so content right now. You make me feel so special.

Nick: Because you are.

Sally: [ Breathes deeply ]

[ Sniffles ]

Nick: Hey, it’s okay.

Sally: No, it’s not. It’s not.

Nick: Look, I told you. Sally, I’ve got you. You’ve got nothing to worry about.

Sally: You really are the most kind and thoughtful man.

Nick: What is it?

Sally: Nick, I… I have to tell you something. It’s about the baby.

Nick: What about the baby?

Sally: Adam could be the father.

Adam: [ Sighing ]

Next week on “the young and the restless”…

Billy: Let me guess. You have an opinion about me and chelsea going out for dinner together.

Adam: Yes, I do.

Victor: Imagine what we could all accomplish around here if adam applied his business acumen and intelligence to our company.

Kyle: Then what’s it about? What’s going on?

Jack: You’ve been lying to me.

Sally: The paternity test is set for this afternoon.

Transcript proofread and provided by Suzanne

Finn: You were never pregnant with Nik’s baby?

Elizabeth: No.

Finn: Why did you tell me you had a miscarriage?

Elizabeth: Just another lie.

Finn: So you were never carrying Nik’s baby, and you didn’t miscarry. Why would you lie about all this?

Josslyn: Hi.

Dex: Hi. I’m sorry to just show up here like this.

Josslyn: I’m not.

[ Laughter and applause ]

Brook Lynn: You two were brilliant. You’re killing it as a duo. And your — your single just keeps climbing the streaming charts.

Blaze: Well, congrats, partner.

Chase: Congrats to you, too.

Blaze: I’m going in to meet my adoring fans. Are you coming?

Chase: Uh, give me a minute.

Blaze: Okay.

Chase: What?

Brook Lynn: You’re just such a natural on stage. Watching you just makes me so happy.

Austin: Can you hold that door?

Ava: Yeah.

Austin: Hey. It’s stormy. Thank you.

Ava: You’re so welcome. Least I could do for the hero of the hour, right? I-I heard that you helped save Willow Tait’s life, and she’s — she’s very important to a dear friend of mine, so thank you.

Austin: I was just part of a team. You should thank Dr. Navarro.

Ava: Well, still, I-I’d like to buy you supper.

Austin: Totally unnecessary.

Ava: I’m not gonna take no for an answer, Doc. I’m feeling very generous. My divorce has really paid off.

Nikolas: I appreciate you wanting to be involved in your sibling’s life, even if things between us are fraught.

Spencer: [ Chuckling ] Fraught. That doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Laura: Spencer, your father and I both understand how hard Britt’s memorial has been on you. And I want you to know we are both very sorry.

Spencer: Thank you, Grandmother.

Nikolas: I wouldn’t have missed the memorial if something important hadn’t —

Spencer: There’s always something more important than me. Let me ask you something. As my father, why do I keep coming in second?

Nikolas: I am trying to do better, Spencer.

Spencer: And is that what you’re gonna tell your next kid? How many times will you fail before you ruin their life?

Nikolas: What are you talking about?

Spencer: I’m talking about my little brother or sister, which is exactly why I’m seeking full custody of your child.

Nikolas: You’re what?

Laura: Spencer. You’re angry right now.

Spencer: This is not some rash decision that I made in the heat of the moment.

Nikolas: You’ve been planning this? You have no idea what it takes to raise a child.

Spencer: Neither do you.

Laura: Okay, stop. Just stop. I know that you two love each other.

Spencer: That was true once, a long time ago.

Laura: You don’t mean that.

Spencer: He meant the world to me. You’re my only parent.

Nikolas: You were my world, Spencer. Maybe that’s the problem. I spoiled you, didn’t prepare you enough for life.

Spencer: Don’t worry. You taught me all of life’s hardest lessons. He taught me that heroes aren’t always who they seem to be. He taught me that the people who you love can hurt you in unimaginable ways. And you taught me that the people who you should trust to protect you can sacrifice you for their own self-interest.

Laura: Spencer, not now.

Spencer: I learned these lessons because you broke my heart a thousand times, Father, and I refuse to let my sibling suffer the same fate.

Nikolas: You’re serious, aren’t you?

Spencer: Father, I’m dead serious.

Chase: Have you heard from Michael? I mean, I’ve called, I’ve texted.

Brook Lynn: Yeah, me too. No answer.

Chase: I’m sure he hasn’t left Willow’s side. Sasha texted. She said she saw the baby after Britt’s memorial. But, uh, Willow’s still in the ICU.

Brook Lynn: Look, Willow looks weak, but she’s tough. She’s gonna pull through. I have faith.

Chase: Brook Lynn.

Brook Lynn: Yes?

Chase: We can’t do this anymore.

Elizabeth: I want to tell you the truth, all of it.

Finn: I would love to hear the truth.

Elizabeth: I was never pregnant because I didn’t have an affair with Nikolas. I didn’t have an affair with anyone. I never cheated on you.

Finn: Okay. Why would you say that you did?

Elizabeth: Because you saw me with those prenatal vitamins.

Finn: So?

Elizabeth: And they were the same ones you saw at Wyndemere when you were asking about Esme, and I —

Finn: I think you probably need to go back and start at the beginning.

Elizabeth: [ Sighs ] Okay. You saw me when I got back from California after learning the truth about what my parents did to me, about what I did to Reiko. I-I just felt so guilty. I couldn’t face you, especially after you had been so good to me, standing by my side the entire time. I wasn’t thinking. So I-I went to Nikolas, needing support from my oldest friend. And that’s when I discovered he had gotten himself into a bad situation and needed my help.

Finn: With what?

Elizabeth: Esme.

Josslyn: Thanks.

Dex: Anytime.

Josslyn: [ Sighs ] I’ve just been in total overload. So much joy, fear, sadness, all at the same time. And next thing I know, I’m here. I’m really happy that you were home.

Dex: Me too. What’s going on?

Josslyn: Oh, well, my niece was born, and she’s healthy and perfect.

Dex: Congratulations.

Josslyn: Thank you. It was really amazing, you know. My mom, me, my grandma — we all went to visit her in the NICU, introduced her to the matriarchy.

Dex: If she’s anything like you, she’s gonna be amazing. Also really stubborn, but I mean that as a compliment.

Josslyn: Yeah, I’m sure. Willow still hasn’t held her baby. She hemorrhaged after the C-section. She’s stable, but not conscious. Michael’s with her in the ICU. And I’m trying to stay positive, but she’s so weak from the leukemia. What if she doesn’t wake up?

Chase: I still want to keep my promise in taking Linc down and getting your songs back. But the CCRB spring meeting is coming up. They’ll decide whether to reinstate me after you worked so hard to get me a second chance. If the review board votes in my favor, that is it. I go back to being a cop full-time, and I can’t go after Linc anymore. And let’s face it, we’re no closer to our goal.

Brook Lynn: These things take time.

Chase: Blaze isn’t interested in turning Linc in for sexual harassment. And I’m not gonna pressure her. Okay, that’s — that’s a choice women have to make on their own. Which leaves us with tempting Linc to buying out my contract, signing your songs over to you just in time for me to quit, leaving him with nothing.

Brook Lynn: Well, it’s still a solid plan.

Chase: Then we need to move on it. By the time the CCRB meets, I have to be done with this.

Brook Lynn: Don’t you really mean done with me?

Josslyn: The whole reason they delivered my niece early was so that they could use the stem cells from the cord blood for Willow’s marrow transplant. And what everyone is thinking but no one’s saying is maybe Willow’s too weak and maybe it’s too late. And I feel guilty even saying that.

Dex: No, you can say whatever you want to me. I won’t tell anyone. Sometimes saying something out loud can take away a little of its power.

Josslyn: I guess so.

Dex: Willow has the best medical care money can buy, right?

Josslyn: Definitely.

Dex: And she wants to live. Not to get all psychological, but attitude can make a crucial difference.

Josslyn: I hope so. I just feel so powerless. And Britt’s memorial was today, and I couldn’t go because of my niece, of course, but I still felt like I should have been there to pay my respects. Britt saved my life. And it killed her.

Elizabeth: The night I saw Esme on the docks, Nikolas was there, too. I didn’t tell anyone. Instead, I went directly to him, and that’s when he told me he knew that Esme had been in town for weeks, that she had shown up pregnant with his child. He thought she was behind The Hook killings, and he couldn’t let her hurt anyone else. But at the same time, he had to protect his unborn baby.

Finn: What did he do?

Elizabeth: He kept Esme locked up in a tower at Wyndemere.

Finn: He locked up a pregnant woman who was carrying his baby. That’s pretty disgusting, even for him.

Elizabeth: I know. I know. I was horrified, too. I wanted to go to the police, but he convinced me not to.

Finn: How?

Elizabeth: He said he wanted to make sure that his child was safe from harm and that the — the people of Port Charles were safe from Esme, so I agreed to help him. And that’s why you saw the bottle of prenatal vitamins at Wyndemere — because I was providing Esme with medical care. And when you saw me with the vitamins and you said you saw the same ones at Wyndemere, and then you asked me if I was pregnant, I just panicked. I panicked. I came up with a lie on the spot saying that I had been with Nikolas and I was pregnant, just to… protect our secret. Say something.

Austin: So, in the divorce you got the house, which is a really big house, and you call it Wyndemere?

Ava: Yes.

Austin: Okay. Great.

Ava: What?

Austin: Nothing, just noticing. It suits you. You seem every bit the lady of the manor. Congratulations.

Ava: It was the least I was owed.

Austin: So if I remember right, when I first got to Port Charles, you were in the middle of divorcing Nikolas back then, right?

Ava: Ugh. Please don’t remind me.

Austin: But you two worked it out. You don’t want to do that now?

Ava: [ Sighs ] Different circumstances. At that time, I left him to protect my daughter. Now I’m leaving to protect myself.

Laura: Spencer, please. You are angry right now, and you have plenty of good reasons to be. But every parent makes mistakes, and it doesn’t erase the bond between parent and child. It really doesn’t.

Nikolas: Mother, it’s okay. I won’t pretend I haven’t betrayed you over and over again. I own everything I’ve done to you. But to take my child away from me? Is that about what’s best for the baby, or are you getting even with me?

Spencer: This is not about revenge. This is about how unfit you are to be a father, not only because of everything that you have done for me over the course of my life, but everything that I’ve learned that you’ve done to other people as well. And unlike you, I’m gonna do what’s best for the baby.

Laura:  Spencer, think about what you’re saying right now.

Spencer: I have. I’ve discussed this with my friends. I’ve discussed my case with Diane Miller. I’d like to make it perfectly clear to you, Father, that I will do everything in my power to ensure that you cannot destroy another innocent life.

Laura: You’re still a kid yourself, Spencer! You can’t raise that baby all alone.

Nikolas: Your grandmother’s right. Whatever you may think, I love this child. And I will make damn sure I don’t repeat my mistakes.

Spencer: You are incapable of keeping that promise!

Nikolas: Spencer, if you go down this path, you’re gonna force me to fight you. And I will use every weapon in my arsenal to make sure a judge grants me custody of my child.

Spencer: Don’t worry.

Nikolas: Don’t make me do that.

Spencer: It’s not going to go that far.

Nikolas: What are you talking about?

Spencer: You’re gonna hand me custody of your own free will, Father.

Finn: Elizabeth, I don’t know what to say, but… do you realize you’re now an accomplice to a kidnapping?

Elizabeth: Yeah, I-I legitimately thought I was doing the right thing. I mean, I was protecting an innocent baby, and Esme couldn’t kill anyone as long as she was locked up.

Finn: The police were looking for Esme. She was their number-one suspect in The Hook attacks. How long were you gonna let them go on thinking that when you knew she couldn’t be the murderer?

Elizabeth: It wasn’t until Officer Cabrera was killed that I realized Nikolas and I made a huge mistake.

Finn: But you didn’t say anything.

Elizabeth: I couldn’t. I — you have no idea how badly I wanted to, but at that point, I’d already given up everything to help Nikolas. I put myself in legal jeopardy, which was gonna affect my kids. I threw away my relationship with you. Believe me, Finn, I have beaten myself up every single day for this, but I couldn’t see a way out. And then Esme escaped, and she was found. And everything I did, everything I gave up — it was all for nothing.

Josslyn: There’s another reason I’m here. You warned me about survivor’s guilt. And you were right. It does affect me. I-I wake up in the middle of the night with my head spinning, thinking if I had done something different, would Britt still be alive?

Dex: That is not on you, okay? I’m the one who got you to leave before the police showed up.

Josslyn: Yeah, because your argument made sense. Because it wouldn’t have made a difference if we stayed. I know that. I just still feel guilty. It’s the same thing with Cam. I knew the right thing was to break up with him. I feel guilty about that, too.

Dex: When you lay it all out there, I really messed up your life.

Chase: That’s not what I meant. I wasn’t talking about us.

Brook Lynn: Doesn’t mean it isn’t true.

Chase: Look, I don’t want to be a pop star, okay? It’s not my passion. I want… I want my badge back.

Brook Lynn: The CCRB — they might not even reinstate you.

Chase: Then I will have to figure out what’s next. But music isn’t my future. I can’t do this forever.

Brook Lynn: Translation — don’t want to be around me forever.

Chase: Oh, would you stop putting words in my mouth? It is time we finish what we started.

Brook Lynn: Look, Chase, I get it. Okay? I screwed up when I didn’t write that letter of support after Dante asked me to. I ruined any chance of us having a relationship, even a professional one. Am I wrong?

Nikolas: Like hell I’m gonna grant you custody.

Spencer: You don’t have a choice. One way or another, you’re gonna be out of your child’s life.

Laura: Stop it. Stop it right now. The two of you are father and son. You should be able to work out your differences.

Spencer: My father had every opportunity to work out our differences. And you couldn’t. Or you wouldn’t.

Nikolas: Okay, so you think, what, guilting me over my shortcomings is gonna motivate me to just sign my child away to you?

Spencer: Oh, motivate! What a good word. The motive? Revenge. Justice. Guilt. Ah. Take your pick.

Laura: You said this wasn’t about revenge, Spencer.

Nikolas: The motive? Revenge. Justice. Guilt. Take your pick.

Spencer: Any chance of reconciling with me is ruined.

Nikolas: Any chance I had of reconciling with Spencer was ruined.

Nikolas: This isn’t a game, Spencer.

Spencer: Honestly, my one regret is not doing it sooner.

Nikolas: Honestly, my only regret is not doing it sooner. To spare the people I love the pain I’ve caused them. This I solemnly swear.

Spencer: This I solemnly swear.

Laura: What’s happening right now? What aren’t you telling me?

Nikolas: It’s impossible. How did you…? This is Ava’s doing.

Spencer: [ Scoffs ]

Nikolas: No, she’s thrown in with you, hasn’t she?

Spencer: It sure would be a shame for other people to find out what I know. Like say, um, I don’t know, um, Commissioner Ashford.

Nikolas: You wouldn’t.

Spencer: No. Not if you relinquish your parental rights.

Laura: Okay, stop. Stop right here. Because nothing that has been said or done up to this point can’t be taken back.

Nikolas: [ Scoffs ] There’s no coming back from this. My son… is truly gone.

Finn: [ Scoffs ]  I just — I don’t know why you did it. I know you and Nik are friends, but going along with something like this, I just — I’m sorry. It just doesn’t seem like you at all.

Elizabeth: There were times I didn’t recognize myself. But you saw me when I got back from California after learning about my parents’ betrayal and that I killed your wife.

Finn: Wasn’t like that.

Elizabeth: No… [Sighs] No matter how you look at it, Finn, I was responsible, and I will feel guilty about that for the rest of my life. And then everything was compounded by how deeply I hurt you. I will never forget that look on your face and the way you walked out of here. I was rapidly losing my grip, and there was nothing left for me to hold on to.

Finn: Hey, listen, I never… I never should have walked out on you like that.

Elizabeth: Your life had just been turned upside down. Your reaction was normal. Mine, on the other hand? There’s no excuse. Should have remembered what really matters and held on for dear life — like my boys… like you. But instead, I just shut out everything good in my life.

Finn: Hey, listen, you are… you’re being hard on yourself. Nik bears some responsibility here, too.

Elizabeth: Oh, I’m not letting him off the hook, especially now that he’s gone too far.

Finn: How is that even possible?

Chase: You and I were friends first, and I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss that. But you put your wants and needs ahead of mine, and I can’t forget that. So we’re gonna take Linc down, get your songs back, have all that squared away before the next CCRB meeting.

Brook Lynn: Understood. There won’t be anything left between us by then. Excuse me.

Blaze: Where is she off to?

Chase: Um…beats me.

Blaze: Well, looks like I came back just in time. Here. I propose a toast.

Chase: To?

Blaze: To the gig we just knocked out of the park, our adoring audience, our new single that drops next week, which I guarantee will be a smash. Or…how about the unlikely successful partnership between the ex-cop and the would-be folk singer? May it be long and profitable. Okay. What’s wrong?

Chase: I told Brook Lynn I want out. I’m taking the steps to make that happen.

Blaze: You can’t quit.

Austin: Well, if you’re standing up for yourself, good for you. Although, it seems to be something you’re good at, ’cause I saw that firsthand with my cousin in my office that time.

Ava: Has Mason given you any more trouble?

Austin: No, everything’s quiet on that front.

Ava: Would you tell me if it wasn’t?

Austin: Oh, 100% no. Only because it’s not your problem, and I’m a grown person, so I can look after my own life.

Ava: You know, it’s funny. There was a time that Ava Jerome would have gone in for the kill — metaphorically speaking, of course — anytime anybody crossed me.

Austin: Okay. But you’re different now? What changed?

Ava: I became Ava Cassadine. And Ava Cassadine made excuses in the name of true love. But she’s gone.

Austin: In my experience, when people are in relationships like the one you’re saying you have with Nikolas, it doesn’t just end with a signature.

Ava: Maybe not. But I did something today that should make it finally perfectly clear to Nikolas where we stand and what could come of crossing me.

Nikolas: How could you team up with Ava? Isn’t she your sworn enemy? Do you really hate me that much?

Spencer: Oh, Father, if I hated you, I wouldn’t be giving you this chance.

Nikolas: What chance?

Spencer: For redemption.

Nikolas: Re–

Spencer:  Hey. Father, we both know what would happen if I were to go to the police with this information.

Laura: What information?

Spencer: Now, I could have gone directly to them. Police Commissioner Ashford was standing right here, right about where we’re standing, at Britt’s memorial, but I didn’t. I came directly to you because I wanted to give you the choice. Now, you can sign away your parental rights and you can go on living your life, or you can face what will happen if I give this to the police. It’s that simple.

Nikolas: For all your talk of wanting to be your own man, you are every bit a Cassadine.

Spencer: [ Clears throat ] [ Exhales sharply ]

Laura: Nikolas! If you go out that door right now, you’re making a big mistake.

Elizabeth: Throughout this whole ordeal, Nikolas promised he would keep me out of it if he ever got caught. I used that to justify my actions, though I’m not sure I ever really believed it. And then Esme was found, and it all became really clear that there’s nothing Nikolas could do to protect me if she regains her memories. Except he did find a way to keep his promise. Ironically, it’s what made me realize that I could never trust him again.

Finn: What did he do now?

Elizabeth: He brought my mother to town. He wanted her to do to Esme what she did to me, to make sure that she never remembers so she can’t implicate either one of us, no matter the damage it did to her like it did to me. That’s it. That’s all of it. You have no idea how many times I just wanted to tell you the truth, but I held back for a lot of reasons. I-I didn’t want to make you an accessory. I wanted to protect Nikolas. I wanted to protect myself. It just — it went too far, and… I lost everything. But I couldn’t stay silent anymore.

Josslyn: You did not mess up my life, okay? You saved my life, remember? As grateful as I am to Britt, The Hook had her cornered when you showed up.

Dex: You’re welcome, but don’t be literal.

Josslyn: Excuse me?

Dex: Look, a lot of awful things have happened to you, either as a direct or indirect result of knowing me. You’ve been an accessory after the fact. You’ve left the scene of crime. You even broke up with your boyfriend.

Josslyn: Look, have you influenced my choices? Obviously, but they’re still my choices. And that includes breaking up with Cameron, okay? If things were perfect between us, I never would have looked twice at you.

Dex: Are you sure about that? ‘Cause I was definitely looking at you.

Josslyn: [ Sighs ] Look, I just mean… after the video of me and Cam came out, things were never the same, and I could feel us growing apart. We both got really busy. There was always a reason not to talk to each other, and more and more, he felt like someone I used to be close with, someone that I cared about but didn’t connect with. And I didn’t say any of that because I didn’t want to hurt him. And in the end, I ended up hurting him even worse. I mean, the breakup was bad, but when he found us together…

Dex: Do you regret it?

Josslyn: Do I regret Cam walking in? Of course I regret it.

Dex: No, I mean, do you regret being with me?

Blaze: Sorry. I just meant you’re hugely talented, and it would be a waste if you walked away from that.

Chase: Thanks, but like I told you, this music industry, performing — it isn’t me.

Blaze: I know.

Chase: But, hey, I had a really nice time collaborating with you.

Blaze: Me, too. Who knew I’d like having a partner?

Chase: Ah, let’s face it. I’m just holding you back.

Blaze: Even if that were true, I wouldn’t care. Working with you has reminded me of my love of singing and performing, of why I got into this business in the first place. Before you came along, I was actually thinking of quitting.

Chase: Why?

Blaze: I signed a contract with Linc, and… well, working with him has really made me question why I’m doing this. I thought my love of music could get me through anything, but lately… singing with you is the only thing making this bearable.

Linc: Hey, there’s my hot new star. Sorry I’m late, sweetheart. Didn’t we agree on a different outfit?

Chase: Show’s over, Brown. There’s no need for you to be here.

Linc: Whoa, whoa, whoa, cool it, Mr. No Longer a Detective. I’m actually looking for Brook Lynn.

Chase: And I will let her know you’re in the building.

Linc: There’s no need. I’ll tell her myself.

Chase: Are you okay?

Linc: Well, hello, Brookie. How’s my favorite ex-nightingale?

Brook Lynn: I am so not in the mood to deal with you tonight.

Linc: But it’s your lucky night. You’re finally getting rid of me for good.

Brook Lynn: Yeah, I’ve heard that before.

Linc: Well, this time it’s true. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten our deal.

Laura: Hey, Nikolas, I don’t know what just happened. But you can’t leave things like that.

Nikolas: Why are you talking to me? Shouldn’t you be lecturing your grandson about the evils of blackmail?

Laura: You’re the adult. You have to go and face your son.

Nikolas: I don’t know who that person is anymore.

Laura: It’s Spencer. It’s still Spencer, the same little boy you loved and you cared for. Look, you have both done horrible things to each other, and I don’t know what exactly that was about. But I do know the worst thing you can do right now is to play into what he has done.

Nikolas: He worked with my ex-wife, intending to destroy me. It wasn’t enough for Ava to divorce me and take my home. She had to take my son, too?

Laura: Okay. I know. I know, sweetie.

Nikolas: [ Crying ]

Laura: I am so sorry. Really, I am as blindsided by all of this as you are. But take a moment to calm down, okay? Because then you need to go back into that chapel, and you have got to face your own son because he is now at the precipice. He is about to make a decision that he is going to regret for the rest of his life. Okay? Don’t turn your back on him now. He needs you.

Austin: So that moment in my office with Mason — that wasn’t just a fluke?

Ava: Oh, that was nothing. You just have to know where someone’s weak spots are.

Austin: Ah. That’s your thing — you find everyone’s weak spot. How’s that working for you?

Ava: Guess I haven’t met my match yet, I suppose. But I thought I had.

Austin: I’m really sorry.

Ava: It’s no matter. I’m very used to taking care of myself. And I intend to keep doing that. So… Well, I’m — I’m off…

Austin: Oh.

Ava: …To my new castle. [ Laughs ]

Austin: Thank you so much.

Ava: Yeah. Enjoy the evening.

Austin: Yeah, you too.

Ava: Thanks.

Nikolas: Oh! You’re the best mother I could ever have. I will always love you.

[ Both crying ]

Linc: Have you forgotten our deal already? You signed a non-disclosure agreement while burnishing my reputation with the media. In exchange, I return all the rights to your songs, except for the ones that have already been sold, of course.

Brook Lynn: Yeah, I remember. It’s been so long, I thought you forgot.

Linc: Oh, I never forget the terms of a deal. And my lawyers are meticulous.

Brook Lynn: I’m aware.

Linc: I must admit, my financial advisors balked at my making this deal. Your catalog is a gold mine.

Brook Lynn: [ Scoffs ] Wow. You must be really scared to get “metoo”d to walk away from all that money.

Linc: This is what you’ve always wanted, isn’t it? To have all your songs back and me out of your hair.

Brook Lynn: Among other things.

Linc: Perfect. Then all you need to do… …is sign on the dotted line.

Chase: Look, you don’t have to put up with Linc. Walk away. Find a manager who respects you.

Blaze: Problem is, my contract is ironclad. My career would be over, after I worked so hard for it. I’m trapped. And it’s not like I have a support system. Excuse the pity party, but when you leave the business, I’ll be all alone. Well… not alone.

Josslyn: I do regret not telling Cam that my feelings have changed. You know, everyone says it’s better to be honest. And now that I’ve lived it, I know it’s true. I should have told him how I felt. I won’t make that mistake with you.

Dex: And how do you feel?

Josslyn: [ Sighs ] I’m…scared. But the good kind of scared. A little part of me wants to hide. But most of me wants to run right into it.

Dex: I like that about you, that you run towards what scares you. If it’s any help, you scare me, too.

Elizabeth: I know what I have to do now. I just wanted to tell you first.

Finn: First?

Elizabeth: I didn’t want there to be any more lies between us before I…

Finn: Before you what? Elizabeth, what are you gonna do?

Elizabeth: Turn myself in.

Mason: Yeah, I’m gonna tail this Jerome woman that gave me such a hard time the other day. I’ll report back.

Spencer: Where did my father go?

Laura: I don’t know. What have you done, Spencer?

[ Knock on door ]

On the next “General Hospital” —

Linc (to Brook Lynn): Are you in? Or are you out?

TJ (to Trina): Whatever it is, you can tell me.

Chase: What if I don’t want out just yet?

Finn (to Elizabeth): I’m sorry, I can’t let you throw it all away.

Austin (to Mason): You want to come after me, Mason? Take your best shot.

Ava (to Nikolas): You did it all by yourself.

Laura (to Spencer): What are you holding over your father’s head?

[ Dramatic music ]

Katie: Ok, this is crazy.

Brooke: Katie, I texted you saying I’d be right up to the house. I was just dropping something off.

Katie: Yeah, well I couldn’t wait. I mean taylor of all people?

Brooke: She wasn’t herself. She thought bill violated her daughter.

Katie: Okay, I get that. But to shoot him? I mean my god, brooke! Will almost lost his father that night.

Brooke: I know and she was haunted by what she did. She was sickened by what she was driven to.

Katie: Okay, that doesn’t excuse it.

Brooke: I know. But now you know why bill blackmailed steffy and finn?

Katie: I mean, imagine my shock when taylor just blurted it out. I mean she’s the last person I ever would have suspected.

Brooke: Violence is not the answer, but as a mother and as her friend, my heart goes out to taylor in a big way.

Steffy: Sheila just showed up at your office?

Taylor: Yep. She wasn’t gonna miss out on an opportunity.

Steffy: For what?

Taylor: Oh, you know, to let me know that I should just accept the situation so that we can all live in peace and harmony.

Steffy: Well, I hope you told her where she should go.

Taylor: I told her I wanted to see her locked up for the rest of her life and that is the only way that me and my family will ever have peace and harmony.

Steffy: What else did she say?

Taylor: Oh steffy, she– she got to me. She– she told me that, um… we’re not that different from each other because she shot you and finn and I shot bill.

Steffy: What?

Taylor: She was empathizing with me that she’s also haunted by what she did.

Steffy: Oh, my god. She can’t possibly equate all her heinous things with what you did, mom. Mom, you and sheila are nothing alike. You are loving and compassionate. Everything sheila isn’T.

Taylor: That’s funny. That’s– that’s what brooke said.

Steffy: Brooke?

Taylor: Yeah, yeah. She– she came by right after sheila left. She brought pizza. Brooke has really become a real friend. I’m serious, like a lifeline really. It’s comforting. Especially now that I’m having all this guilt that sheila is not in prison because… because of what I did all those years ago.

Deacon: I’ve been working on this sauce recipe nonstop. You know, trying different ingredients, see what works, what doesn’t work. I think I might have gone a little too far with the onion. What do you think?

Sheila: Mmm-hm. Deliziosa!

Deacon: Seriously though? You’re not just saying that?

Sheila: Really, there’s somebody here that doesn’t know how to take a compliment.

Deacon: It’s just… it’s amazing.

Sheila: What?

Deacon: That you and i can be here like this.

Sheila: You with your own restaurant.

Deacon: And you not in the pokey. All thanks to the blowhard bill spencer.

Sheila: Oh, my god. It’s really good. Speaking of bill though, if he were to walk in here, heaven forbid, or brooke or hope.

Deacon: Yeah, no, I know it can be pretty dicey. I appreciate you coming in between seatings.

Sheila: Of course, I– it’s not like we’re crossing a line or anything. I just wouldn’t want bill to get the wrong idea.

Deacon: Why? You afraid he’ll figure out that you’re still carrying a torch for your favorite pizza man? You got a little stuff there.

Sheila: Oh. Get it?

Deacon: You know, there was the time that I would’ve kissed that off you and you would’ve loved it.

Katie: Brooke, how long have you known about taylor? How could you keep this from me?

Brooke: It wasn’t for me to tell. I was sworn to secrecy. So you said taylor just blurted it out?

Katie: Yeah, I– I went to steffy’s, I had just come from bill’s trying desperately to get through to him, again. And I knew there was something more going on. And so I was pressing steffy and then all of a sudden taylor appeared and she was emotional and she just blurted out that she was the one they were protecting. I mean, can you imagine how shocked I was to learn that taylor was the one who shot bill?

Steffy: I’m surprised you and brooke are spending so much time together.

Taylor: Yeah, she’s made a real effort to– to reach out to me and to spend time with me. When she saw how shaken up I was with sheila, she– she was right there for me.

Steffy: Brooke helped calm you down.

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah, she did. I mean, of course, I wish I could’ve calmed myself down considering my line of work.

Steffy: Mom, you’re only human. You’re also a loving mother and grandmother. Taylor: Who did a really awful, unforgivable thing.

>>Steffy: Mom, we are not gonna go there.

Taylor: Steffy as supportive as you and brooke have been, it doesn’t change the fact that I– I shot someone, you know, and I was never accountable for it. Now, all the people I love more than life are in danger. And that’s on me. And only me. (Vo) red lobster’s finer points of fun dining:

Deacon: So, how’s it going at the spencers dig? I gotta tell you, I’m just so curious what’s new there?

Sheila: You mean, how is it being mistress of the manor?

Deacon: More like how is it being bill’s mistress? Aren’t you tired of that gas bag yet?

Sheila: Hardly. And don’t call me his mistress. It’s not like that between us.

Deacon: Hey, whatever you gotta tell yourself.

Sheila: No, seriously deacon. Look, I– I know that you still have some feelings for me and I– I don’t want to rub salt in the wounds.

Deacon: No worries. I’m a big boy. But then you already know that.

[ Sheila laughing ] I can take it.

Sheila: Bill is– is like no man I have ever known.

Deacon: Yeah, I’m sure. He’s an arrogant, self absorbed cartoon.

Sheila: No, he– he may be like that to the rest of the world, but he isn’t like that. Not to me, you know, he’s– he’s done so much for me. He’s transformed my life. If I could just get people to stop coming over unannounced and– and– and trying to– to harm that, especially katie, that would be great.

Katie: Whatever she’s said or done, it is clearly working. For bill to throw away everything and everyone he’s ever cared about for a psycho like sheila carter?

Brooke: Well, sheila is a master manipulator and bill was admittedly vulnerable.

Katie: Not just vulnerable, he was hurt and upset by me, by you, by steffy. Clearly, I mean otherwise why would he be doing what he’s doing to her mother?

Brooke: Taylor is living in her own private hell. And bill really needs to realize that.

Katie: But if he could see what I saw when she confessed, I mean, all the remorse and regret pouring out of her.

Brooke: That must’ve been hard for steffy to see. She idolizes her mom. To see taylor battling with her demons. I’m sure it broke her heart.

Katie: As it does yours.

Brooke: Look, I know my friendship with taylor is unexpected, but I’m glad that we’re friends and I’m glad that I can be there for her. Me and her family, even though I’m not sure it’s gonna really help.

Katie: What do you mean?

Brooke: She thinks the only way she can stop sheila is to turn herself in and that would be the worst thing possible. That would be a huge price to pay. A price that the people who love her and taylor herself should not have to pay.

Steffy: Mom please, you have to stop beating yourself up.

Taylor: I’m trying steffy. Brooke said the same thing.

Steffy: Good, she’s right. It’s just upsetting you more than you already are.

Taylor: Yeah, but bill swore to secrecy and now he’s using this against our family. Ah! Somehow, sheila can get bill to do whatever she wants.

Steffy: Mom. I realize it feels that way. Somehow, sheila always gets what she wants, but she always screws up. She’s gonna overplay her hand with bill. Trust me. One way or the other, that woman’s going to pay for her crimes.

Taylor: But until then she is a free woman and you and finn and my grandbabies are in danger. Steffy, I have to confess to shooting bill. I have to make this right. Then you and finn can– can– can testify and sheila will be behind bars, finally. Steffy, it’s the only way to keep our family safe. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Deacon: So, you went to go see katie on your own?

Sheila: Yeah, yeah. Especially when she showed up uninvited yet again.

Deacon: That’s smart.

Sheila: Smart or not, I want to make it clear to her that she either accepts this relationship between myself and bill or–

Deacon: Cut off her middle toe.

[ Sheila chuckling ]

Sheila: I’m not gonna let anyone undermine me to the man that I love. Especially sickingly sweet katie logan.

Deacon: Sweetheart, I hate to break it to you, but bill and katie, they share a kid. I mean that’s a formidable bond. Not to mention the fact that she’s one of the biggest threats to your freedom.

Sheila: That’s why I wanted to put her on notice. I won’t stand by idly to let her work on bill to turn him against me. There will be consequences if she does.

Brooke: Even if taylor does turn herself in, that is no guarantee that sheila’s gonna go back to prison. ‘Cause bill is out there bribing every single judge on her behalf.

Katie: Could be all for nothing. Taylor could spend years in jail while sheila lives large at bill’S. I mean, how unjust would that be?

Brooke: Sad. Really, it’s– it’s terribly sad. Taylor’s done so much for so many people around the world, for her clients, for her family and they all need her. That’s why steffy’s urging her mom not to do anything rash.

Katie: Which is exactly what confessing to the police might be if there’s even the slightest chance that sheila would remain free.

Brooke: Really, it’s sick how sheila engineered this whole thing. I just want people to wake up and see it, realize it.

Katie: So do I. That’s why I keep going over there trying to get through to him. But if taylor turns herself in.

Brooke: No, she won’T. I won’t let her sacrifice herself like that.

Steffy: Mom, we’ve already discussed this. I get that you want to do the right thing. But giving up your freedom, hoping that sheila will lose hers is not the right thing. Bill will step in. He will defend sheila. He will do whatever it takes. You have to see that. Mom, I know it feels like you want to protect me, I get it. But some sacrifices are just way too big. I’d much rather deal with sheila than see you behind bars.

Taylor: Okay, okay, I hear you. I hear you loud and clear, I really do. But there’s so much more to this for me.

Steffy: Oh, my god.

Taylor: Even though bill didn’t have me arrested for shooting him that night, the trauma that I experienced is– is– it’s still been inside of me, right. But I just buried it. I buried it away and I– I just always knew that it had been there. But now it’s here. It is here and it is affecting my family. The people I love most in the world. You, finn, my grandbabies. Even brooke and her family. Steffy, sheila has escaped justice again because of a crime that I never paid for. I can’t let that happen. I won’T. My a1c stayed here, it needed to be here.

Deacon: That sounds kind of like a threat. Is that how katie took it?

Sheila: Oh please, I could say good morning to her and she would think it was a threat. But enough of that. Anyway, all right, I can handle katie or brooke or anyone else if I have to. I’m just really hoping over time they– they all understand that I’m not going anywhere and I’m certainly not going back to prison because I’m not. Bill is gonna make sure of it.

Deacon: Sounds like you got it pretty bad for the guy.

Sheila: He has done so much for me and the least of– of which is giving me my freedom. I am so blessed to be able to walk in here and not fear being hauled away. No, I am never going to let anyone jeopardize my precious freedom again, never! Mmm.

[ Sheila laughing ]

Katie: It really amazes me this relationship that you’ve developed with taylor.

Brooke: Yeah, it amazes us too. Taylor and I have been through a lot together, usually at odds. It’s such a waste to think we could’ve been friends this whole time.

Katie: Well, you’re making up for it now. That’s all that matters.

Brooke: Yeah, we have a lot more in common than we ever thought. I mean, she’s a remarkable person and an incredible mother.

Katie: Well, I’m sure she feels the same way about you, sis.

Brooke: I made a vow to stand by taylor and I intend to keep that. I’m not gonna let bill and sheila and their horrible manipulation destroy taylor’s life.

Taylor: I have to do it, steffy. I have to make the call and put an end to bill’s blackmail. I’m gonna do it.

Steffy: No, mom. You’re only gonna make things worse.

Taylor: You think?

Steffy: Yeah.

Taylor: No, you know what’s worse? If sheila infiltrates herself into our lives. You know how hell bent she is on trying to be a part of this family.

Steffy: That is never going to happen.

Taylor: Okay, well bill used blackmail to keep her out of prison. Sheila could do the same thing.

Steffy: You really gotta stop. Stop.

Taylor: She was trying to get closer to hayes. Can you imagine?

Steffy: Mom, stop!

Taylor: I have to stop this! Honey, I– I shot someone. I shot someone. I was never accountable for it. My life’s work is helping others be a better version of themselves. I’m basically a hypocrite.

Steffy: No, you’re not.

Taylor: No, I am. I– I have to confess.

Steffy: No. So let’s say you do that, okay. Let’s say you– let’s say you go to prison. What am I supposed to do? Am I supposed to bring kelly and hayes to visit you? Visit their grandmother behind bars? Not really having a relationship with you. I don’t want that for them and you shouldn’t either.

Taylor: God, of course I don’T.

Steffy: No, I– I refuse to let you even consider turning yourself in. I’m not gonna lose you. I’m not gonna lose you that way.

Taylor: Oh, god, I am not giving you much of a choice, am I? I’m either going to let you down or I’m a burden to you. Which one you want, hm?

Steffy: Mom, no, you are not a burden. I love you so much. You need to stop tormenting yourself. You need to just stop worrying about sheila. We will figure out a way to take care of her. I promise, okay?

Taylor: Yes, we will.
