Tongayi Chirisa and Harry Hamlin of "Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches" on AMC/AMC+

 

Interview with Tongayi Chirisa and Harry Hamlin of “Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches” on AMC/AMC+ by Suzanne 12/7/22

This is an interesting show. I haven’t read the books that this series is based on, so I can’t tell you how accurate it is or not. However, with just a cursory reading about the books online, it does seem pretty different in some ways. Some characters have been condensed, invented or changed. If you’re a purist, then you probably shouldn’t watch it. Otherwise, if you loved the books, or you like shows about witches, then you should check it out because it’s enjoyable. It stars Alexandra Daddario as the main character, Dr. Rowan Mayfair, who finds out after her mother dies that she has a family that she never knew, and strange powers.

I was able to join in this panel interview with Tongayi Chririsa, who stars as the handsome Ciprien Grieve; who helps her out; and Harry Hamlin, who plays her Uncle Cortland. It was a very fun interview. I’ve loved watching Harry Hamlin ever since he starred in “L.A. Law” in the 80’s. Did you know that Harry Hamlin was the “Sexiest Man Alive” in 1987? Only the third one in history, too. He’s definitely my first one to interview. I hope you enjoy this transcript and the show, which airs Jan. 4 on AMC+ and Jan. 8 on AMC.

KAREN BUTLER:   Can you both describe your characters and tell us why you wanted to play them?

TONGAYI CHIRISA:   Okay, my character is Ciprian Grieve. He works for the Talamasca, and he has this ability. He’s an empath, and he has this ability to touch people or objects, and he can see into their past. And I thin the biggest thing that drew me to this was just the world, Anne Rice, and the genre that we’re in. And just for the character, just the challenges that he goes through, and just the ability to be able to feel the emotions of everything and everyone was just too alluring for me not to try and take a stab at it. So, I was drawn by the character and just the world, and just to work with Esta and Alex was just, like, “Oh, yeah, this is an opportunity that I will not let slip.”

KAREN BUTLER:   How about you, Harry?

HARRY HAMLIN:   Well, I play Cortland, Mayfair, and he’s the patriarch of this family of witches that have been evolving since the 16th century or something in Scotland. And I don’t have any powers, because the powers are mainly passed down through the women in the family. It’s sort of a matriarchal society in the family, and my job, as in my character, is to hold the family together. I’m kind of the fun uncle in the family. And I was drawn to to play the character, which is, by the way, the most delicious character I’ve played since the very first movie I did in 1977, which was called Movie Movie. I love that character, and this is most fun I’ve had since then. So, it’s been a long time, but I’m having a great time with this guy. They’ve let me create a character that may not be the character that Esta had in mind when she first wrote the script, but the good news is that they were writing the scripts as we were filming. So, they were able to see what each of us brought to the characters that they had written, and then they were able to expand on that in [the] writing. So, in a way they adapted their characters to us, to what we brought to it, and I love it when we when a show goes like that.

RIJU DASGUPTA:  So, what was it like to work with Alexandra Daddario, and did you think she was the perfect role for this series?

HARRY HAMLIN:   You take that one, Tongayi.

TONGAYI CHIRISA:   Yeah, I mean, Alex, what I liked about working with her is that she’s your everyday next door neighbor type of person. I think she just has the sense of freedom and just being very approachable, which made the work that much easier. So, when we had to go into scenes that most people will find uncomfortable, just there was that sense of security and sense of trust within each of us that allowed us to be as free as we needed to be to accomplish the scene. Yeah, Alex is a star in her own right. She’s an Emmy nominated actress. So, it doesn’t hurt to have people of that caliber working alongside, and who are just really nice people.

ASHLEY:   I’m curious if you could talk a little bit about the differences between the novels and the series. I know, in particular, there’re some differences with the characters that you’re playing, but if you want to speak to that, or just overall, some of the differences that we’ll see.

HARRY HAMLIN:   For fans of the books, they’ve taken the characters who, in the case of Cyprien they’ve amalgamated to characters, but in my case, the character of Cortland is not alive during the present day, but I’m very glad that they’ve resurrected him and I get to play him in this, because I love playing this guy. So, I don’t think there’s a lot of similarity between the character of Cortland in the books and the character of Cortland [in the series] other than the fact that he’s the patriarch of the family. And, I did draw some of the things from the book that I put into the character, but mainly, I relied on what was on the page in the pilot script to develop the character.

TONGAYI CHIRISA:   And I think just the story in itself. Esta did a great job of really capturing the essence of Anne Rice and some of the richer themes that convey who she was, and just the world that she created. This was her home, and just incorporating the finer – I mean, if you read the first book, you know it was so rich in detail, 1000 plus pages. There’s no way we could have incorporated all the themes, but I think she did a great job in just really bunching them together to give us the essence of the story, because the season itself, it starts the way the book starts and how it ends, and they’ve managed to keep that within the framework of season one. So, it doesn’t veer too much off from what we see in the narrative of the book. So, it still keeps the authentic essence of what Anne was conveying in the story.

SUZANNE LANOUE:   Hi. I was wondering if you could both speak to your characters’ personal motivations about how they act on the show?

HARRY HAMLIN:   Okay, so my motivation is to number one, stay alive, because [unintelligible] by people in this family who have powers, and also, there’s a cipher, a character that we don’t know quite from what dimension he comes, but he’s also a character, Lasher, that could at any moment do serious damage to me, because I don’t have any powers, other than the power of manipulation and charm. So, I’m constantly trying to hold the family together and get them to do the right thing and get these witches to behave in the right way so that they can have the best life possible and I can become as wealthy as possible, because my motivation is really, I’m a narcissistic sort of avuncular character in this, who, I think, I lose my way in episodes that you haven’t seen yet. I can’t go into that too deeply; I will be letting the cat out of the bag.

TONGAYI CHIRISA:   Yeah, I think for Cyprien, [when] it starts, his motivation is more about allegiance and obligation, just with his background of how he grew up and how he was integrated into the Talamasca. So, I think it is a sense of, like, “I need to do this, because of how I was treated and how somebody brought me in and took care of me and put me into this organization.” But when he meets Rowan, there’s a sudden shift, because as a person that has always been very closed – that’s why he wears the gloves. He keeps the world out, and he doesn’t want anybody into his personal space, because that might be too overbearing for him. But interacting with Rowan, you start to see him becoming very vulnerable and allowing somebody into his space that’s never been tapped into. And, obviously, that leads to situationships and circumstances, because he compromises his integrity, compromises the work that he’s supposed to do just to observe and to watch, and chooses to get involved. As a result, you see things beginning to unfold with him and Rowan’s character to the culmination of what we see at the end of the season.

JESSICA:   I wanted to ask specifically about the mythology of the series and the books and how it’s so big. How was it for you to come in to this and wrap your arms around it, speaking of mythology?

HARRY HAMLIN:   is that directed to me, to Harry?

JESSICA:   To both of you.

HARRY HAMLIN:   Well, I was not that familiar with Anne Rice coming into it, because I’m not the right generation. She was writing for people who were younger than I [was]. mean, not that she was writing for [them], but that was the generation that really caught fire with her work. So, I missed it. But being a student of mythology, as I have been, I was very attracted to this world, which is, I’ve not been a fan of vampires and witches in my life. I didn’t see many of the those series that were on TV about vampires and stuff. I did see the movie Interview with a Vampire years ago, which is my only exposure to witches and vampires. In fact, but now, having entered this world of Anne Rice and having been a part of it, I see that it’s very rich, and it’s actually an exploration of the human condition, from the sort of the mystical angle of witches and vampires, and I’m kind of digging it. So, I think I’m gonna go back and explore it now, in my old age. I’m gonna check out all these vampire movies and stuff. So, I don’t know if that answers your question, but it shows you where I am, anyway, with it.

JESSICA:   No, it totally does. And Tongayi, I was curious about, because you’re part of the Talamasca in this, and that’s their whole thing –

TONGAYI CHIRISA:   Yeah.

JESSICA:   How was that for you to come into this and kind of delve in?

TONGAYI CHIRISA:   You know, what’s interesting? I think my first introduction to the world of Anne Rice was the movie and then Queen of the Damned with Aaliyah, and then just the movies like Dracula that we used to watch, which were just visceral in the way that they were just really dark and gritty. So, you fast forward to last year, and this thing comes onto your table, and it’s like suddenly the memories start coming back, like, “Oh, I remember that.” But with Anne Rice’s world, I think I walked into this thing naive, and the closest thing I could connect it to was the Shield in the MCU Universe. I was like, “Okay, so the Talamasca are this entity that observes the supernatural, but they can’t get involved until absolutely necessary.” So, we are monitoring all over the world, the supernatural, so it was kinda like, “Oh my gosh, this can go in so many avenues,” which was just like, “Okay, this is exciting for me,” because how much of the external worlds have infiltrated the Talamasca. You know, is everybody who they say they really are? Like, are people undercover? So, just thinking about what can and what it could be was just enthralling to me to be a part of this and to just say, “Look, I don’t know too much.” And I think that kind of aids to my character, being unaware of what’s really going on, just as to be the innocence of Ciprien in his journey, because as things unravel, it affects him, because the people he thought he could trust, he can’t trust anymore, because somebody lied to him. So, I think just figuring it out is what I am enjoying the most, because I don’t need to have the answers to know where this is going.

RIJU DASGUPTA:  My question is about the Mayfair house. That is one creepy location. What was it like filming there?

HARRY HAMLIN:   Oh, it was great. What an amazing place to film. And they also recreated a lot of it on the soundstage too, but we actually film in the house, which was, I mean, to be just inside there and soak in the history of that house was truly amazing. Go ahead, Tongayi.

TONGAYI CHIRISA:   Well, we couldn’t actually get the real one, but they were able to get one that was similar. So, like I was saying, they actually reproduced the outside, and the internal stuff we had to do it on stage, but I think the spirit of New Orleans and the spirit of Anne Rice lives, because we filmed in the same street that the house was in, and just interacting with people and how much people knew of who she was, like, getting pedestrians talking about who she was and this house, it just added so much more value to what we’re doing. You actually walk into this space with a little more reverence, because now you have an embodiment of her spirit within the community. So, now you approach it with the kind of respect that it deserves. So, it was special in and of itself, and just New Orleans, as a whole, was just a magical place.

ASHLEY:   I’m curious to know, for each of you, personally, what was the most fun part about working on this, about filming, or just portraying your particular characters? What was the most fun thing for you?

HARRY HAMLIN:   I’m gonna go with that one because – no, you go first Tongayi; you go first.

TONGAYI CHIRISA:   I think the most fun part was just just coming to work and it not feeling like it was work, because I think everybody just understood the assignment. We came to explore; we came to learn. And the grace that was given to us as actors to really figure it out and discuss [it], if it didn’t work, we’d just pivot and try something else. So, I think that, for me, was the best. And the freedom to do so without any backlash, so to speak, was really nice.

HARRY HAMLIN:   Yeah, the environment that we were shooting in was very conducive to improvisation, to coming up with new ideas. The most fun thing, for me, is that after we filmed most of the season, they saw that the character that I had built throughout the season was different from the character that was presented in the very first scene where I was introduced in the piece, so they rewrote that scene. They came to me and said, “So, listen, we want to rewrite the scene, because we want to have Cortland introduced in a sort of bigger way. We’re gonna have you audition an alligator and a 10-foot-long python, and you’re gonna get to pick whether you want to work with this alligator, or this.” So, ultimately, I chose the python, because the alligator was a terrible actor. I mean, kind of very wooden, but the snake, on the other hand, was really vibrant and great to work with. Just one of my favorite partners in the in the whole piece was a 10-foot-long python.

Young & The Restless Update

Update written by Barbara

At Crimson Lights, Sally is on the phone making an Obstetrician doctor’s appointment when Adam comes in. Sally is concerned that he overheard her conversation, but he tells her that he did not and just wants to make sure she’s okay. He mentions that she was huddled over and it looked like she was hiding from someone.

In a sullen mood, Sally tells Adam to mind his own business and continues to snap at him while he is trying to be supportive. Adam realizes that Sally is not going to open up to him so he gets up and starts to leave the coffeehouse. At the same time, Sally realizes that she’s taking out her stress on him so she tells him to wait so she can apologize for taking out her bad mood on him. She mentions that she is overwhelmed by things with work.

When she gets back to her suite after her doctor’s appointment, she plops onto the couch and asks herself “what am I going to do now” and looks at the paper she got that has information on the first trimester of pregnancy.

At Devon’s penthouse, he is in the living room having coffee when Abby comes down the stairs from the bedroom. Abby mentions that she knows she’s in the right place. She tells him she feels happier and lighter than she has in a long time.  Devon says that he feels the same way.

Abby and Devon hug, with her mentioning that she has to go home to change her clothes because she can’t be seen in the same outfit for two days.  She also opens up to Devon about how she no longer considers the Chancellor mansion to be home anymore since she’s no longer part of the Chancellor family. She says that she feels like an intruder.

Over at Chancellor-Winters, Lily finishes up a phone call with Jill, and Audra is in at the office. Lily is excited that Jill has pulled the trigger on the IPO, so it will be a done deal soon. When Devon arrives, he says that he feels like he’s being excluded from his family company. He reiterates that he does not support Lily and Audra’s decision to forge ahead with the IPO.

Audra’s phone makes a  chime for an incoming text, so she steps out of the office to give Devon and Lily some privacy.  Lily tells Devon that she and Jill are on the same side, which gives them the majority over Devon. She also mentions that unless Devon can find a valid reason why the IPO should not go forward, she considers it best for their company.

At the Glam Club, Daniel is sitting on a sofa, reading a text from Heather. She is letting him know that she is happy for him, but Lucy needs more time. Afterward, Abby comes into the club and chats with Daniel. She notes that his family isn’t with him in Genoa City, and he feigns uncertainty about when this will change.  Abby lets him know about her split with Chance.

Daniel leaves for a meeting and Abby sits alone, looking sad and pensive as she removes her wedding ring and looks at her bare finger.

Lily comes into Crimson Lights noting that Daniel seems troubled and down. He talks to her about Savannah and mistakes he made there, letting his jealousy and insecurity dominate. He admits that he shut Heather and Lucy out and hopes that his gaming venture will show that he is not a lost cause. Lily tells him that no one considers him a lost cause.

She gives him some encouragement, saying that there’s nothing in his contract that says he has to be in Genoa City. She adds that could go back to Savannah or to be with them in Portugal. She says that keeping his family together has to be his first priority. He’s concerned that if he splits his then he will do a “half ass” job on both fronts.

Lily tells him that she is here for him if he needs anything. Daniel says that he really appreciates it. When Lily glances down at her phone, he asks her if she has somewhere to be. She mentions that she has an appointment to go to or she would stay at the coffeehouse chatting with him all morning.  Daniel notices that she seems a litttle nervous. She dismisses it and says that she’s just a little anxious. As she heads to the coffeehouse door, she gets a text from Billy letting her know that he’s just parked at the “doc’s” office, and asking if she’s on her way.

Tucker has summoned Audra to his suite in the middle of her meeting with Lily so she arrives there angry at him. Tucker tells her that he needs the IPO to go through because he wants to have enough shares in the company to be able to work alongside his son. Audra lets him know that she is not sure she can convince Devon to accept the IPO because he’s paranoid, due to the situation with Nate. Tucker remains adamant about his plan to become a colleague with Devon.

Audra urges Tucker to consider Devon’s point of view and come up with another way to make the IPO happen. Then she beats a hasty retreat back to return to Chancellor-Winters so as not to raise any suspicions among Lily and Devon, slamming the door as she leaves Tucker’s suite.

At Chancellor-Winters, Devon and Lily argue about the financial merits of the company going public versus remaining the way it is.  She tells him that the company’s valuation will increase substantially by going public; Devon says that they’re making money with it being private and family-run.

At Jabot, Kyle and Diane are talking when she gets a call from Jeremy. She lets Kyle know that Jeremy wants to get together with her that night. Summer comes by asking to speak with Kyle, but seeing as how he is busy with his mother, Summer makes up an excuse to leave. She tells Kyle that she needs to talk to him later about Mariah’s brief leave of absence from Jabot to meet the potential birthmother.

Summer then says that she has to go into Jack’s office to get some files and while she’s in there she can hear Diane talking with Kyle about how Diane is as tough and wily as people have accused her of being. She assures Kyle that she still has her touch and she has everything under control.

When Kyle and Summer finally have some time together, he notes that Summer has been acting “frosty” to Diane. Summer tells him that the situation with Jeremy is scaring her and she wants to get a break from Genoa City by going to a textile show in Paris. Kyle is on board with this, and then Summer shocks him by announcing that she wants to take Harrison with her.

At the Abbott house, Jack and Ashley are having another heated argument, even stronger than previous ones, about Diane. Ashley accuses Diane of putting on a “poor me” act and trying to get herself into Jack’s bed.  An irate Jack shouts that if Ashley is so concerned about who he entertains in his home, maybe she should stay elsewhere. Ashley counters that it is her home too, so Jack hastens to let her know that he is not throwing her out.

Ashley goes on, yelling at Jack about how she will not be forced out of her own home because of his “sick fixation” on Diane. Taking things one step further, Ashley angrily reminds Jack that she has not been on board with Diane working at Marchetti under the Jabot umbrella, and mentions that she was never consulted about it.

Ashley finishes her argument with Jack by telling him that as far as she’s concerned, Diane will never be welcome in the Abbott home or the family company … “not ever”!

Tucker is at Society having coffee when Devon walks in and Tucker picks up on his son being upset. He asks what the issue is and Devon mentions that it’s about the Chancellor-Winters IPO and his concerns about losing autonomy. Tucker notes that this seems unfair because he and Neil built it. He suggests that Devon should could take Hamilton-Winters back from Chancellor-Winters, and run the business on his own again.

Tucker mentions that Devon has the resources to re-aquire the company and run it on his own. Tucker urges Devon not to let other people control his destiny and tells Devon that he shouldn’t be restricted by what other people want.  He mentions that it is certainly okay for Devon to go after what he wants. He adds that he just might be the guy to help him do that.

Devon says he will think about it and consider what Tucker has said to him as Tucker’s phone rings. Devon comments that the phone has a unique chime and doesn’t let on to Tucker that he recognizes it.  Tucker blows this off by chuckling and telling Devon that it came with the phone.

Once Devon is outside Society, he calls someone and tells the person to find out out as much information as possible about a connection between Tucker McCall and Audra Charles.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

hot stone massage was exactly what I needed.

I think it was a good idea coming to the end for New Year’s E.

Something wrong. I’m reading a very disturbing message from Gray. You’re not even gonna believe what Kristen has done now,

my God. How can this be happening? Kristin? Just come and sit. I can’t sit Brady. I can barely breathe. I mean, whoever took her, why? Why haven’t they made a a ransom demand? Why haven’t they, why haven’t they told us what they need from us? We were told to wait for further instructions. We just need to be patient.

Patient.

Our daughter has been kidnapped to Brady. Okay? She should be hurt or worse after what we went through to be a family. Like we can’t lose her. And Brady we won’t. We won’t. Why are you so calm when you wait? How can you be so sure? How come Uncle Jar didn’t make me a try? Sarah, top sandwich. He didn’t even cut off my crust.

Are you not hungry, sweetheart? I don’t like chunky peanut butter. I can make you something else. After all, it’s not like I didn’t already aid in a bed enough. Felony against my will. What’d she say? I couldn’t. I just said, um, how about a grilled cheese sandwich? Would you like that? No. Thank you. Um, well, how about we watch Jurassic World?

I wanna go home.

I, I thought you were having. Well, I’m not now, but you the kid. Yeah. You and Sloan though. You were supposed to do a makeover. I don’t want a makeover. Come on. It’ll be so much fun. I wanna go. You hurt the kid, you know, like you can’t. Why not? Yes. Eric, why? Please explain to Rachel why she can’t go home.

You know, my New Year’s resolution is one of them anyway. What’s that? I’m to stop at the first bottle of champagne. Okay. We did have a lot to celebrate this year. No, I know that my look. Hey there. Hey, guess what? Good news, the prison is taking visitors again. So I’m going to go see Lucas this afternoon. Do you wanna come?

I, I would love to, but we have something very important we need to discuss. First,

I have your test results.

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

So, uh, I can see that I have elevated liver enzymes. Again, low uric acid. Mm-hmm. . And you remember last fall, those levels return to normal after you received the serum.

So does that mean that you think I’m relapsing? No. No, not necessarily. How are you feeling? Well, I mean, I feel fine except for a little hangover. So is there anything else that could cause abnormal results for teeth? Well, if you’ve been overindulging on eggnog, that would certainly affect your liver function , but I assume you do wanna run more tests.

You’re gonna show antibodies for this virus for the rest of your life, so we can’t test for reinfection. So what can we do? I wanna run identical tests on Kayla and Marlena and see if we get similar results.

Okay. What did Kristen do now? Oh, I’m not sure. Doc Brady says he thinks we ought to hang out here a little bit longer. Oh, well did he say. No, all he said was he had a pretty rough night because Kristen has been arrested for brainwashing her own brother.

I’m calm because I have to be. All right. Rachel needs us to keep clear heads here. Okay. But what, what, what can we do to find her? I, I mean, I know that we’re not supposed to get the cops involved, but there’s gotta be something that we can do expressing Chris and my dad is on the case. I’m in constant contact with him.

He’s chasing leads as we speak and, and Eric is looking for her as well. Sweet, sweet baby. I mean, she’s gotta be so scared. Kristen. What you are is exhausted. Okay. I think if you lied down for a couple minutes, you would wake up. We have some, no, I can’t. I can’t. I can’t even sit still. I know this is, I know it’s, I just, I love her.

I love that little girl so much. No, I really just couldn’t believe that this is happening again.

Well, you can’t go home right now, sweetheart, because. Well, because your mommy is sick and she doesn’t want you to get sick, then why can’t my daddy pick me up? Yes, Eric. Why can’t he? Because your daddy, he’s sick too. No, of course. Yay. Yay. That means they must have kissed on midnight. That’s how you attract germs.

You now. Yes, we do know that. Why don’t you take this plate and bring it into the kitchen now? Okay. I can. And grab a cookie while you’re in there. There’s some on the counter. I can,

I would. She’d be transmitting germs to me right now, but instead I’m stuck babysitting a stir crazy kid. Not that you gave me much choice in the matter. I’m sorry. I promise I’m gonna make it up to you. Yeah, you’d better if I get caught. I could be disbarred for this. Something. You’re not gonna get caught.

Well, I’m not as sure as you are. I mean, I need this to be over it today, Eric. Otherwise, you gotta come up with a new plan.

So, I mean, this isn’t really an emergency though, right? Because you, you took the blood samples on Christmas Eve and I still feel fine. Yeah, I mean, it’s, it’s definitely a reason to be optimistic. No doubt. But given what you went through, I just, I just wanna know what we’re dealing with. Yeah, we’d like to know that too, son.

Maybe give us, uh, some peace of mind. Hey. Hi. Hey, you too. Welcome home. Thank you. It’s good to be back. Yeah. Good to be back. Happy New Year everybody. Good to see you, Rex. Same here. Steve. Why does everybody look so serious? We have some news and it’s not good.

Drugging and, and brainwashing people. Will it ever stop? No one can only hope. You know what surprises me is that he was taking his odors from, from, from Lee and Christian. Yeah. Lee was at the helm of Dira and he and Kristen kind of share the same goal. Yes. But what was Kristen’s Motivat? Well, apparently she figures if Stephan pursues Chloe, that opens up a path for her and Brady as it cleans out.

She was right, Brady. It’s always about Brady. Everything she does ends up going back to her obsession with him.

Hey. Stop, stop. Stop. Kristen. Kristen, look at me. Look at me. Take a deep breath. No, I’m sorry. No, no, no, no, no. This is, this is a parent’s worst nightmare. No, it’s worse because I keep blaming myself. What? Why, what? Why about what you said last night. Maybe sh someone took her because they wanted to get back at me.

Do you think that’s the truth course? No, it was, it was a theory. All right. I, I shouldn’t have said anything. Oh my god. What? Sarah Horton? Sarah? Yes, yes, yes. She, she made that house call when Rachel was sick a few weeks ago and, and, and it was obvious that she felt a connection with our daughter. Still. No, never.

You’re grasping. No, it just makes sense, Brady. It makes total sense. And I bet you Xander helped. I’m gonna go over there right now. No, no. Hey, let’s look, look, leave me. No, you don’t need to do that. I will make some calls, I’ll make some inquiries. All right. But right now you need to get some rest. All right.

Please just go to bed, get under the covers and try to relax. No, buddy. No, no. I, I, I wanna be here. When you make those calls, I listen. You don’t need to be, you don’t need. As soon as I get some information that’s helpful, I will give it to you immediately, but right now you need to get some rest. I can see that Rachel would not want you getting sick over this.

Okay? Okay. I’m gonna try, try it. Go.

I know I’m asking a lot of you, but it won’t last much longer, the better not.

There she is. Did you take a cookie? Yes, I did. I took two . Great. I’m Lyric. Yeah. Can I please call mommy and daddy now? Well, they’re resting right now. Wait, I promise you can talk to him soon. In the meantime, how about that makeover? Hmm. gonna be fun, I promise. Should we? Okay. , why don’t you run to my bathroom, get my makeup bag, and you can pick out your three top favorite eyeshadow colors.

Okay. I hope you have purple. I’m sure I do.

You’re welcome. Thank you. Listen, I know I kind of tricked you into this. Tricked me. You lied to my face. You’re right. I’m, I can’t believe what a skilled liar had become. Well, you’re lucky that I’m madly attracted to you otherwise, that had turned you in already. Yeah. Well, you break client and attorney privileges.

Mm. Don’t push it. Promise I wont. I will. Call my brother and tell him that Rachel is homesick and we kind of need you to move to the next phase. Good idea. Hey, it’s Brady right here. Okay? Remember next face. Okay. Hey, Brady. Hey, how’s Rachel? Um, well, she is missing you. She’s a bit homesick. So I told her that mommy and daddy had colds.

Right. Hey, listen man, I know you wanted to, uh, keep this thing going a little longer to make sure the Kristen was desperate enough to fold, but to tell you the truth, I think sh I don’t think she’s gonna get any more d. She is right now. She’s coming up with these wacky theories that I have to pretend to investigate.

John and Marlena, they’re trying to stall them, but they’re gonna come home any second. That’s gonna complicate everything. I think we should pull the trigger on this and make the demand of Kristen. Now, I was about to say the same thing. Good. I’m glad we’re on the same page because the sooner we get this orchid, the sooner I can get my daughter back and we can put an end to this whole thing.

I assumed that one dose of the serum would keep the illness at bay forever, and it was a reasonable assumptions the way the virus acted with me all those years ago. Kind of a dad, your cure was different. It was derived from a rare species of orchid that’s now extinct. And a cure for Kayla and Mom and Marlena.

It was mysteriously dropped off at the police station in a vial. Damn. I should have tried harder to find out who our anonymous benefactor was. Oh, now look, we, we don’t need to panic. We don’t even know if anyone’s sick. Right. I think the first thing we do is I go to the hospital with Rex, we drop my blood and see what we find.

Okay. Um, we’ll put a rush on the labs. No, you know, better yet, let’s just do it ourselves. All right. Well, how long will that take? Uh, later today. Tomorrow, with the latest we’re about in my. You know what? Let’s just, let’s just give her a little time with John. You know, I mean, I mean, why worry her until we actually know what’s up?

John, you don’t suppose that Kristen had Ralph Brady, do you? No, no, no. Now, if Brady were brainwashed, he would be a lot more enthusiastic about having Kristen in our house. Like he’d be, uh, sleeping with her instead of like walking around with this dark cloud over his head. You have a point there. Yeah. He made it clear he broke up with Chloe, move Chris into our house because she didn’t give him a choice.

She’s holding something over his head.

You know, I almost feel bad about putting Kristen through all this. Hell, but I gotta keep reminding myself of why we’re doing it. Well, there couldn’t be any better reason than saving three women’s lives, right? If Kristen’s telling the truth about they’re needing another dose of that serum, and look, Eric, look, once we make the demand, For the orchid.

Kristen’s gonna know that it’s coming from me because I told her that I would never tell another soul. So I’m gonna have to be really careful about the way I break the news to her so she doesn’t go off the deep end. Isn’t she already there? Yeah. Yeah. But she can always go further. She can always get a little more cruel, a little more vindictive.

She’s gonna go nuts when she finds out that I was the one behind the kidnapping of Rachel. I gotta be really, really careful about finding the right moment to just drop the bomb on her. I think you just did.

Okay. I’m going to go see Lucas now and Rex can just go another time. I’ll drive you. No, you don’t need to drive me. I’m just, I’m fine. I’ll, I’ll call you as soon as I. Please do. Okay, Katie. I love you. I love you too. See you later. See? See ya.

So can I get you? No, I’ve kind of lost my appetite. Yeah. Sorry you had to come back to this. Yeah. Now Roman, I hate to think the. Good for these women to suffer through that horrible illness again. I mean, can’t let that happen, Steve. No, we can’t. Yeah.

You think you could do that for me? Yes. Yes, of course. You know, I’m just curious, what made you decide to run the test on your mom when she wasn’t exhibiting any symptoms? Honestly, I’m just checking boxes, submitting data to the FDA to show that the treatment’s still working. And how are you? Me? Yeah, you.

I hope that I didn’t fail my mom. Hope I didn’t fail. All three of you.

The only, we could figure out what Kristen is holding over Bray’s head. Mm-hmm. . And then we could get him out of this situation. We could get her out of our hole. Oh, please. Yeah. But you know, the, the real mystery is why we’ve been asked to stay here, you know, a little while longer to accommodate Christian.

What is that? Mm. Uh, you know, it’s not like it’s real hardship though. I mean, being alone with you like this on our little. Staycation. Mm. Yeah. A hardship at all. You know what I was thinking? Maybe you and I can make some real productive use of this time together. What do you think? I think that’s a idea. I love the way you think

she’s right here. I gotta go. I was hoping you’d be able to get some sleep. Yeah, I bet you were. Look, I don’t know what you overheard, Kristin. Oh no. Let me fill you in. What I heard was that my suffering, my being sick to death with worry about Rachel is all on your head. What the hell did you do with my daughter Brady?

So, Way on to the next phase. Brady’s telling Kristen as we speak and I’m sure she’ll be ever so understanding. She’ll undoubtedly understand that she’s been tricked and she’s living in the hell. We just need to hope that there’s no weapons in close proximity and all this will be worth it. Rachel time for the big reveal.

Wow. You look beautiful. Look at me. I am. You look gorgeous. I’s gonna get a Sloan a makeover. But she had a better idea. Yeah. And what’s that like? It’s your turn.

Answer me, damnit. Where is Rachel? Where is she? Rachel is fine. And where is she? I’m not telling you why. Why are you doing this? Brady? You really gave me no choice. I gave you no choice. I don’t know what the hell you talking about. Come on your devious little mind. Can’t figure this one out. I needed leverage on you, so I took Rachel and you are not gonna get her back until you hand over the.

Oh, baby. Oh my gosh. . Bless you. I’m so sorry, . It’s a real mood breaker. Isn it, I’m sorry. It’s a, it’s a, but Julia gets me every time. Oh, oh, oh, wait, wait, wait. You know what? Hold on. Hold on.

Here. I got that from the, what is it? Ba

Aphrodisia Paradise. . Come on. Let’s see. It’s up to its name. Oh, so what are you already angling for? Another massage. Is that it? Have you met me? Yeah. . Yeah. We roll over

A little there a little bit. No, no, no. Don’t look. Okay. You look kind of, you look kind of edgy and beautiful. Hmm. What do you think?

It’s not, not bad , but now it’s time for the lips. What are you gonna do with my lips? Oh, None these colors really suits you in Glas. No. Oops. Um, you know, listen, I’m really starting to agree with Rachel here. Oh no, don’t worry. It’s just gonna be a nice ENT slip. Balm. We got a little chap there. We just can’t have that.

Oh no. How crap. Oh yeah. Oh, this is beautiful. Uncle Eric. Oh, you can’t do this? Mm, I already have. She don’t give a damn, do you? The hell? You put me through the hell you put your daughter on. Rachel is fine and she’s in very good hands. Okay, well, whose hands? Who’s the other accomplice and who, who is on that phone?

Just. You’ll never know. Oh, you are never gonna get away with this. You think I put you through hell do you? What about the hell that you’ve been putting me through? Hmm. What about Chloe? Oh god, please. Chloe. Oh, I’m, she sure she is having a grand old time basking in the afterglow with her new adoring lover.

Watch it. Yeah, I’m sure they’re both undoubtedly on cloud nine right now. But you, Brady, you have screwed yourself big time because not only. Has your little slutty girlfriend moved on, but you’ve effectively lost your daughter? What? Yes. You think a judge is gonna let you have custody AF of Rachel after this stunt?

Except no judge is ever gonna know about this. The fact is, Chris in the bottom line is screwed yourself. When you decided to play with those three women’s lives, you put this all on yourself and you pushed me to do this. And if you wanna see Rachel ever get oh kiss. It’s very simple. You hand over the orchid to me, she comes home in a heartbeat.

But if you don’t, I promise you, you will never see her again.

I could stay like this with you forever. Nothing. I’d like more. Do you know what doc? My alarm’s going off. It’s time to go home. No. Can we, can we push back our checkout time? I already did that by an. Well, maybe we could do it for another hour.

That’s very tempting. But you and I, we need to get home and see if we can find a way to help out

back to the real world.

Sweetness, how you feeling? Uh, the same as I was 30 minutes ago. Rex is in the lab. He said that the test results should be back in minutes. I’m on my way. No, you, you don’t need to do that. I’ll be right there. Thank you.

Link and they give you a heart touch. AWS so nice. I’m gonna give daddy one minute. Get home. Your daddy will love it too. And I can give mommy a matching one. Your mommy could definitely use a heart. I’m excited about mommy and daddy. Well, we, we really don’t know what happened between them last night. I do.

They kissed for sure. And soon they’ll get married. Yeah. Well, I know that’s what you want, but Rachel, honey, why don’t you go wash the makeup off your hands, okay?

Really? You wanna get the kids hopes up about her parents? Yeah, I know that’s what you want, Rachel. I didn’t know what else to say. Well, I’m sure you could have come up with something. I mean, she’s gonna be in a world of heartbreaking when she finds out the. That her daddy hates her mommy, and they’ll never get married.

Look, my mother’s life is at stake, so is my stepmom’s and my aunt. So if this is what it takes to save them, not to mention getting Brady out from underneath her thumb that it’s all gonna be worth it. You won’t do it. You wouldn’t dare. It would break Rachel’s heart if you keep her from me. Then why don’t we just do this the easy way.

Just give me the orchid. Oh, right, right, right. And then you can just kick me out of the house. Go running back to Chloe if she’ll have you, which I doubt. I guess we’ll find out, won’t we? No, no. Brady, we won’t. You bring Rachel back to me or I’ll let those women die. Is that a chance you’re willing to do?

You don’t want to threaten me. I will threaten you right back. You go ahead and withhold that orchid, but you are never gonna see your kid again.

Is that a chance that you wanted to?

Let’s go.

Any chance to come up for air? Baby, I’ve been gone for weeks. I’ve, I’ve got a lot of catching up to do it. And, and if, if I’m gonna be outta commission again, I, if that’s even a possib. Is this how you want to be spending your time?

No. Come here.

Well, it’s the same abnormalities that were in Kate’s blood work. But you’re still feeling fine, aren’t you? Yeah, I feel fine right now, but

oh dear God. Oh, come on. So you sneeze. So, That doesn’t necessarily mean anything. Right? Um, that’s how the illness presented itself the first time in all three cases. What do you say in Rex? I hope that I’m wrong, but I But you’re not. We both know. You’re not. We both knowing it.

Hey, you. Hey. Any news? Kayla called Steve. What did she have to say? Well, she uh, said they should have the results soon. So Steve went to be with her and, uh, we should all know something sent. How’s Lucas? Wow. He.

Hopefully quiet in here. Well, maybe Brady persuaded Kristen to leave. He, uh, if only all, let me take these up. Sit right back. Thanks him.

Oh, oh darn. Massage oil. Okay. Where is everybody?

You kept the orchid here. Yeah. I mean, where else would I. I’ve heard of hiding things in plain sight, Kristen, but this is ridiculous. Who else is in on this? No one?

Well, where is it? Follow me.

Is that from. Did something happen? It is from Brady. You’ll be happy to hear. The Christian is apparently taking him to get the organ. So this is gonna be over today? Yes.

I believe I didn’t figure this one out. Figure what out. Anything. Everyone is always hidden in the Demara Secret room.

The orchid is right here,

right where, oh my God, it’s.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Daniel: I can’t tell you how great it was to see you spending the holiday together. It’s — it’s just what I needed.

Danny: It meant a lot to me, too. Before I go, a little fatherly observation.

Daniel: Lay it on me.

Danny: You’re going through a really tough time with heather and lucy. But you owned your mistakes. You realized you had to pull yourself together. And I think, now focusing on your daughter, that’ll help carry you through. And I say this from personal experience, I think, because the most powerful motivator of all is the desire to do right by your child.

Daniel: There’s nothing i wouldn’t do for lucy.

Danny: I’m proud of you. Not just for what you’re doing but for the man you’re determined to be.

Daniel: Thank you. You know, no one inspires me the way you do. And I am very excited that we’re gonna be working together.

Danny: The feeling is mutual.

Daniel: [ Chuckles ] Can’t wait to hear what you come up with for my “finding princess louisa” game.

Danny: And I can’t wait to hear it myself.

Daniel: Mm.

Danny: I’m gonna get back and I’m gonna start recording right away. Now, listen, I welcome any notes you might have. I mean, I may be the musician, but this is your show.

Daniel: I appreciate that. Something tells me it’s gonna be a great collaboration. Communication is key, right?

Danny: Right. Glad to hear you say that, because there’s something I need from you.

Daniel: Yeah. Name it.

Danny: Promise me that you won’t bottle up your feelings when it comes to your family again. Right? You call me. Better yet, just come visit. I’m always there for you.

Daniel: You have my word.

Daniel: You have got a lot of work to do, and I’ve got to hit the road soon, so I’m not gonna say goodbye. Just…see you soon? Come here. I love you, daniel.

Daniel: I love you, too, dad.

Danny: [ Sighs ]

[ Sniffles ]

Daniel: [ Sighs ]

Danny: [ Sighs ]

Mariah: I cannot believe that this is happening.

Tessa: Want me to show you the plane tickets again?

Mariah: Thank you for getting on that, by the way.

Tessa: Good thing I booked everything, ’cause we will be flying out in a few short hours.

Mariah: And then, tomorrow, we will meet delphine face-to-face and show her why we are the ideal parents to adopt her baby.

Sharon: Well, I am so glad she got back in touch with you, even though I know it took longer than you expected.

Mariah: I know that I’m not supposed to let my feelings run away with me, but I’m just gonna say it. Meeting this woman tomorrow could change our lives.

[ Door opens ]

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Christine: Danny.

Danny: Cricket?

[ Chuckles ]

Nate: That takes care of the updates to our development slate. Next up, social-media campaigns. I know nick had some thoughts on the budget, if you’d prefer to wait until he’s available.

Victoria: Oh, he knew we were meeting, and he chose not to come, so I’m not inclined to accommodate his personal schedule.

Nate: Look, uh, I don’t mean to overstep, but I know nick wasn’t too thrilled when you hired me. I’m sure he would have preferred to keep sally in this position.

Victoria: Well, none of that matters. It was not his decision to make.

Nate: Even so, is my being here causing conflict between you two? And if so, is there anything I can do to help?

Lily: Nick. Happy new year.

Nick: You too. It’s great to see you.

Lily: How was your holiday?

Nick: Pretty great, actually. How was yours?

Lily: Uh, it was fine. Just, you know, kept it low-key.

Nick: I was just wrapping up a lunch meeting here. Are you meeting someone right now, or do you have a minute to talk?

Lily: Um, yeah, sure. What’s, uh, on your mind?

Nick: Well, I was hoping we could finally get a chance to talk about nate joining newman media. Like chancellor-winters, newman is a family-run business. It can be volatile at times, working so closely with the people who can push your buttons the most. They can say that it’s just business, but it’s difficult to not take it personally sometimes. I guess what I’m trying to get at is, I wanted to apologize specifically to you on behalf of newman enterprises if it had any part whatsoever in your family’s conflict.

[ Door closes ]

Chelsea: I didn’t expect to see you.

Billy: Uh, yeah, I have some important business.

Chelsea: Oh?

Billy: I want to find out how connor’s project went at school.

Chelsea: Well, connor’s not home yet.

Billy: Oh. Right.

Chelsea: But I highly doubt that’s the real reason you’re here.

Additional sponsorship

provided by… doesn’t your family deserve the best?

Christine: I knew you were in town. I just didn’t know if we’d cross paths.

Danny: Talk about timing. I was just about to call you.

Christine: You were?

Danny: I wasn’t sure if you were still away. And I — I just wanted to at least say hello.

Christine: Well, [Chuckles] Paul and I got back last night. How long are you staying?

Danny: I leave today.

Christine: Uh…

Christine: Um, I’m — I’m meeting sharon’s daughter, mariah, and her wife, tessa. They’re adopting a child. I’m helping them navigate the process.

Danny: Oh, that sounds incredibly rewarding.

Christine: Yeah, they’re great, and they’re gonna be amazing parents. Mariah and tessa have a tremendous amount to offer a child.

Danny: Plus, any kid would be lucky to have sharon as a grandmother.

Christine: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, well, times like these, I’m glad I became a lawyer.

Danny: I entertain people for a couple hours, and you transform their lives.

Christine: Yeah. On a good day.

Danny: Yeah. Well, I, um — I don’t want to hold you up, so I…

Christine: I-if you don’t have to rush off, I don’t have to be anywhere afterwards.

Danny: I’ll be here when you’re done.

Christine: Okay.

Lily: Thank you. I really appreciate you saying that, because, yes, it was very shocking how everything went down.

Nick: Yeah, I was, uh, shocked, as well.

Lily: I mean, look, devon and I have no proof that it was newman that was trying to take over chancellor-winters or that it was victoria who was getting information from nate. But I think we all know what happened. And then, of course, you know, nate is now rewarded with a top spot at newman media.

Nick: [ Sighs ] I cannot confirm any of that.

Lily: Wow. You’re not denying it either. Look, I understand why you can’t say anything, but I can clearly tell that you had no part in it. And I thank you for that. Because, yes, it was a painful issue during a complicated time. A lot of people I thought I could rely on have let me down. But, um, you know, I roll with it because I have to. But it doesn’t change how much it hurts.

Nick: Are we talking about nate… or billy?

Billy: I’m not sure why you would doubt me. I’m deeply invested in the success of connor’s contraption. Never thought I’d care whether an egg would break or not, but I do.

Chelsea: Would you stop? I know something’s wrong.

Billy: I’m not sure why you would think that.

Chelsea: Well, for starters, you showed up, alone, downstairs on new year’s eve when you should have been with lily. There was a sadness in your eyes. It’s there now, too. So please stop pretending everything’s okay, when clearly it’s not.

Billy: I didn’t come here to burden you with my problems, chelsea.

Chelsea: Billy, you are not a burden after everything you’ve done for me. This can’t be a one-sided friendship. You have to be able to talk to me, or else I’m gonna feel like a pity case you only hang out with ’cause you feel sorry for me.

Billy: I don’t think that way about you.

Chelsea: I’m not gonna fall apart because you share your problems with me. Okay? Come on, I mean, you keep insisting that I’m — I’m so tough, I’m so strong. So let me support you the way you’ve been supporting me.

Billy: [ Sighs ] Okay, fine, since you insist. Lily thinks we might be done.

[ Inhales deeply ] Hey… it’s me! Your dry skin!

Victoria: You are a huge asset to this company. Full stop. Nothing beyond that matters.

Nate: I appreciate you saying that.

Victoria: Well, I’m simply stating the truth. And as far as nicholas goes, he shouldn’t be a problem, unless has he treated you unprofessionally since you had that prickly conversation when you first started? Or has he implied that he doesn’t want to work with you, moving forward?

Nate: No, no, not at all.

Victoria: That’s good. You know, I’m glad that my brother is back at the company. But when I put you at the helm of newman media, he should have stepped back. He shouldn’t have blended his work life and his personal life. But instead, he let his feelings overcome his objectivity.

Nate: Yeah. Kind of like devon and me. We each fell victim to the same mistake. But I won’t repeat that here.

Victoria: I know. I have utter confidence in you, nate.

Nate: And you and nick?

Victoria: We love and respect each other. We’re not always gonna be on the same page, but we will manage to get through this disagreement. We always do. We always have each other’s backs when it really matters.

Nate: Good. I’m glad we discussed this. Is there anything else on your mind? Something that’s bothering you?

Victoria: Why would you think that?

Nate: Well, I feel like I’ve gotten to know you pretty well, and you haven’t seemed like your usual self since you walked in here. Would you like to talk about it?

Victoria: [ Gasps ]

Nate: Uh, tell you what. Let’s clock out for a bit. I can grab us two coffees from the break room, then the personal won’t encroach on the business.

Victoria: Okay, I’d like that.

Nate: [ Chuckles ]

Christine: I’ve spoken with the birth mom’s representative. Delphine has considered other couples. She’s doing her due diligence, but she hasn’t responded to anyone as enthusiastically as she did to your profile and that lovely letter you wrote.

Tessa: You are doing a lot of writing from now on.

Mariah: Well, hopefully, if everything falls into place, we won’t have to send another one.

Sharon: I love how you’ve made it a joint effort. You two make a great team.

Christine: And I second that. So, did I understand the voicemail right? Is tomorrow the day you’ll be in delphine’s hometown? Your first get-together?

Mariah: Yeah. My stomach is doing flip-flops all over the place.

Tessa: Yeah. I mean, yes, we all agree that this is just a meet-and-greet. It’s very casual, but, I mean, it’s so much more than that.

Tessa: Try, the most important interview of our entire lives. There’s so much at stake. We have to make a flawless first impression.

Tessa: I mean, this woman is deciding whether to entrust her baby to us. I mean, she’s gonna have a million questions.

Mariah: Who we are as a couple, where do we live, how are we planning to raise the child, because we both have demanding careers. And even if we nail all of the questions and delphine likes us, if there’s no chemistry, if we don’t form an emotional connection, then that’s it. And we’re back at square one.

Tessa: And it’s easy to say that we would be prepared for that, and that we’re managing our expectations, but in reality, it would hurt.

Christine: Just don’t get ahead of yourselves.

Sharon: Yeah, christine’s right. Remember what we talked about from the very beginning. Adoption is a process, it’s not an event. You need to take things one step at a time, right?

Christine: And just be yourselves. Answer her questions as honestly as you can, and maybe go there prepared with a few questions to ask her, so you feel like you’re on equal footing.

Sharon: That’s excellent advice.

Christine: Above all, speak from the heart, okay? Help her understand how strong your relationship is and what an amazing and loving, stable home you can provide with an incredibly supportive, extended family. You know, paint a picture of who you are and what life would be like together with the baby.

Danny: I’m danny romalotti.

Christine: I can’t believe it. It’s really you.

Danny: Well, you know, uh, I could say the same thing. I mean, you’re pretty much a very big celebrity in this town.

Christine: But not like you.

Danny: Are you kidding? Those jabot junior ads are my favorite.

Christine: You mean that?

Danny: Of course I mean it. What do you say we get better acquainted over a soda?

Christine: [ Chuckles ] Well, sure, I’d love to.

Danny: I don’t know how long I’ve loved you.

Christine: You don’t?

Danny: No. I was trying to remember the first time, the first day, the first moment I realized I was in love with you. And I can’T. I can’t, because I’ve always been in love with you.

[ Waves crashing ] I can’t imagine my life without you. I don’t even want to try.

Christine: I don’t either.

Danny: You’re really nervous, aren’t you?

Christine: A little. But I figure, hey, it’s a joint effort. Any screwups and you take half the blame.

Danny: Well, that’s what husbands are for, dear.

Christine: Well, no matter what happens, I know one thing’s for sure. I’m happier than I ever imagined.

Danny: So am I. It’s pretty sickening, isn’t it?

Christine: Completely.

Danny: Mmm.

[ Soft music plays ]

Danny: It was the last thing I expected to do.

Christine: What, destroy our marriage vows?

Danny: I paid for it.

Christine: No, danny, I paid. Your little slip turned into quite a fall, didn’t it? An innocent little backstage party. You got to drinking. And I bet phyllis was right there refilling your glass. Then, before you know it, off to bed. Well, now the two of you have a child together, and you’re stuck with her. And believe me, from everything I have seen of phyllis, the word “stuck” really fits.

Christine: Are you okay?

Danny: You know, some good has come of the past few months that you and paul have been apart. I realize how much he means to you.

Christine: He’s changed my life, danny. And I love him.

Danny: And he loves you.

[ Soft music plays ] I wish you the best.

Christine: Thank you.

Danny: All I’ve ever wanted was for you to be happy.

Danny: [ Sighs ]

[Coughing]

Victoria: You know, as much as I love being a mom — i really do — there are, you know, certain challenges that come up.

Nate: I have yet to be a parent. However, I was a child once and vividly remember some of my more colorful years.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] I’ve already been through all of this with my older son, reed. I had some pretty turbulent times with him, but he’s doing good now. I mean, we’re in a really good place.

Nate: Good to hear.

Victoria: Meanwhile, [Sighs] Johnny is at that stage where it’s natural for him to want to pull away. But there are just these other complicated factors.

Nate: How complicated are we talking?

Victoria: Extremely complicated. And the situation — it’s a lot tougher than I ever anticipated it would be.

Chelsea: Billy, you have to fix things with lily. I am so sorry for taking up so much of your time, but it’s a terrible price you have to pay for helping me.

Billy: Chelsea, that’s not what this is.

Chelsea: This is what you’re gonna do. You go to lily, you bring her a ton of flowers or — or, um, you play her her favorite song on your phone — anything to help make her listen.

Billy: Stop, please. Okay? This is not about me spending too much time with you.

Chelsea: Are you sure about that?

Billy: I am sure about that. It’s actually the one thing we agree on. And I knew that’s what your assumption would be, which is why I didn’t want to bring it up in the first place. So can you please just get that out of your head?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] So, what happened? Why would lily want to call it quits?

Billy: Because of me. Because of who I am, you know? I’m self-centered and I’m restless, and it’s the same reason why I quit the podcast, ’cause I thought I needed to focus on my corporate gig. But that didn’t work either. I’m just constantly in need of the next best thing, the next — next thing that’s gonna give me a rush to make me feel alive. It’s — it’s, you know — it’s who I am. It’s my track record. I am less than an ideal long-term partner.

Chelsea: I’m not gonna let you talk like this. Tearing yourself down. There is so much more to you. There’s a reason lily loves you so much, and you love her. You two are great together. Are you really willing to just give up?

Lily: Why would you ask about billy?

Nick: You didn’t bring up his name when I asked you about your holidays. I know he recently quit as your ceo. You know, billy was my brother-in-law. I had a front-row seat to his and victoria’s relationship, so I have a pretty good sense of what it must be like and how challenging it is to get involved with someone like him.

Lily: Hmm. Yeah, I suppose you do know him pretty well.

Nick: So, uh, I’m more than willing to give you my perspective if you want. I could also just sit here and listen, because I get the feeling a friendly ear is what you could use right now.

Mariah: We know that this trip might not turn out like we hope. We know that it could not lead to us getting a child. We’re aware of everything that could go wrong.

Tessa: Because some of them have already.

Mariah: Yeah, exactly. But each step we take in this new journey, I think that eventually it’s gonna lead to our baby.

Christine: [ Sighs ] Well, I wish you the best.

[ Chuckles ] Let me know how it goes.

Tessa: We will.

Mariah: Yeah.

Sharon: You better get packed up. You don’t want to miss your flight.

Mariah: Yes. We have to get moving.

Tessa: Well, we will be in touch.

Christine: Alright.

Mariah: Alright. Bye.

Tessa: I’ll see you.

Christine: Bye.

Sharon: [ Sighs ] Thank you so much for shepherding them through this.

Christine: It is one of my favorite parts of the job — creating new families.

Sharon: Yeah. I remember that well.

Christine: Yeah. I mean, now it’s up to them and the prospective birth mom.

Sharon: I’ll be on pins and needles the whole time.

Christine: I know, waiting is the hardest part, for sure.

Sharon: I’m gonna get some work done, try to do anything to distract myself. Can I get you something?

Christine: No, no, no, I’m fine, but thank you.

Sharon: You’re welcome.

Christine: Thanks for waiting.

Danny: It was worth it to have some time with you. Flu symptoms hit harder than the common cold.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Dry skin is sensitive skin, too.

Danny: I assume that you’re still glad to be in private practice.

Christine: Yeah. I like taking on cases that are meaningful to me. I mostly do pro bono work.

Danny: Putting good out into the world.

Christine: [ Chuckles ] Where I can.

Danny: Some things never change.

Christine: Well, like you and your flourishing career. Come on. Still making music and selling out shows?

Danny: I’ve been fortunate, to say the least. I’m — I’m really blessed to have some amazing fans.

Christine: Are you still enjoying touring as much as ever?

Danny: Yes, um, but it does have its downsides. I — I get it now, why being on the road so long isn’t for everyone. But I do enjoy traveling the world and visiting some of my favorite places, seeing new ones, meeting people. And gina flies out on occasions and, yeah, we get her onstage. She does a couple songs. Yeah, that’s always the best.

Christine: Gina’s doing well?

Danny: Yeah, she’s great. I spent thanksgiving with her, and christmas and new year’s with daniel, and, yeah, it’s — it’s turned out to be a really wonderful holiday season for me. I assume you know daniel’s back in town.

Christine: Yeah, I-I do. I haven’t seen him. Paul and I found out what happened from heather. So, you know, we’re just hoping that she and lucy and — and daniel are okay.

Danny: Yeah, so am I. Phyllis and I, we’ve been, you know, rallying around him and, yeah…

Christine: I know. I saw the photo. She tagged you, and that’s how I knew you were in town.

[ Chuckles ] Genoa city’s very own rock star returns for a limited time only, glad to spend time with the people he loves most.

Danny: Social media at its finest.

Christine: For daniel’s sake, I’m glad you’re all together. I just hadn’t realized that you and phyllis had stayed in such close touch over the years.

Billy: Look, it’s not like i just put my hands up and said, “okay, fine, we’re done. No problem,” alright? It’s not — not at all what I did, and I want to — I want to work on this, but I — it’s just not enough.

Chelsea: Okay, listen. You always want to paint yourself as this screwup who’s destined to fail. And right now, I’m sure you’re feeling a little defeated and maybe a little scared. But you are strong and you are loyal. And you are relentless when you want something. So go make this right.

Billy: I would love to. I really would, believe me. But I don’T… look, lily was very calm and rational when she laid out the reasons why we should take some time apart. And you know just as well as i do, you start having that conversation about taking a break, 9 times out of 10, it’s done. That is someone trying to let you down easy instead of making you feel like you just got dumped.

Chelsea: You don’t know that. Stop trying to convince yourself that you do.

[ Sighs ] What you need to do right now is go find lily right away and very calmly and rationally lay out all the reasons that you need to stay together. But not too calm. Hold your ground. Be as passionate and sincere as you know how to be. You helped me get my second chance. Now it’s time for you to go get yours.

Lily: Thank you for the offer, but I won’t be needing your ear, no matter how friendly it might be.

Nick: Fair enough. I got to get out of here anyway.

Lily: Well, I’m glad that we had a chance to chat.

Nick: Me too. Before I go, I just wanted to tell you how impressed I am with what you’ve done with chancellor-winters. Lily, you lead with integrity and dignity. And it’s not always easy to do in this business world we live in. I’m impressed. I’m proud of you.

Lily: Thank you. Thank you. That, um — that really means a lot coming from you.

Nick: Well, I think that there isn’t anything you can’t conquer. And I wish you all the best in the new year.

Lily: Same to you. Bye.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Billy: Can we meet? Your heart is the beat of life.

Danny: I wouldn’t say that phyllis and I are close. We’re more like teammates — you know, co-parents, grandparents. But you know how phyllis is. She always has to put a spin on things, making things appear shinier and brighter than they actually are.

Christine: Yeah, she always had an extraordinary talent for deceit and fabrication. We first saw that when she set her sights on you and injected herself into our lives.

Danny: I often… wonder… what my world might be like if phyllis summers had never been a part of my story. But then… I wouldn’t have daniel and lucy, and — and they’ve brought, um, such immense joy.

Christine: I know, you had to find a way to coexist with phyllis. I’m glad you got to that point.

Danny: It wasn’t easy.

Christine: I know.

Danny: Yeah.

Christine: Still, I will never forgive or forget what she did. Even after we were no longer together, she just kept coming after me. She literally almost cost me my life.

Danny: [ Sighs ] Hey, hey. I’m sorry for all the pain that phyllis caused you.

Christine: It’s not your fault. You were a victim, too. And look, we did our best to try and deal with the fallout of her actions.

[ Sighs ] I’m just glad we were able to — to move on and find happiness,

[Sighs] Even if we didn’t find it together.

Danny: [ Sighs ] Last time we saw each other, I-I, uh — I think it was, um, at your wedding.

Christine: Yeah.

Danny: You and paul are going on, what, 10 years now?

Christine: Yeah. Good — good memory.

Danny: The big-time lawyer and the chief of police, one of genoa city’s power couples.

[ Chuckles ]

Christine: I don’t know about that, given the players in this town.

Danny: But you guys are good, right? I mean…

Christine: Yeah, we’re — we’re really good.

Danny: I know that you and paul always had this deep connection and you know…

[ Chuckles ] I — I’m — I’m really happy that things are going well for you. I am.

Christine: Oh, is there someone special in your life?

Danny: Uh… wow. Um, yeah, I, um…

[Clears throat] Yeah, I’ve been seeing someone. It’s, uh — it’s, you know — it’s casual. I mean, you know, given my schedule, I — I don’t really know where it’s going. I guess time will tell, but, uh, I guess my life is full right now. But there’s always room for a dear friend.

[ Sighs ]

Nate: I’m not going to ask you about the details, but I can tell you from my own personal experience that your son will always love, admire, and respect you, even if he doesn’t always show it.

Victoria: Well, that’s a very nice sentiment, but you can’t know that for sure.

Nate: Actually, I can, because I know you. You’re understanding, forgiving. And you never miss a trick.

[ Chuckles ] Now, johnny might not be too thrilled about that last part for the next few years, but he’ll know he can trust you to be his compass no matter what. That is a gift.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Well, let me see. When you put it that way…

[ Chuckles ]

Nate: So give the young man some space. Not so much that you start feeling anxious about what’s going on with him, but enough to give him some independence and feel trusted. Assuming you don’t have a reason to not trust him.

Victoria: That’s not the problem.

Nate: Okay. Well, then, giving him some space may be the best way to keep him from drifting too far away.

Victoria: Thank you. Thank you for this. It helped.

Nate: Anytime.

Billy: [ Sighing ]

Billy: Hi.

Lily: Hi.

Billy: I know we’re supposed to give each other some breathing room, but I really wanted to see you. Thanks for coming.

Lily: Yeah, yeah. Um, what’s this about?

Billy: Well, um, I know you’re busy, so I’ll just get straight to the point. We may be struggling badly, but I feel like our relationship is worth saving. And I want you to know that I’m gonna fight for you. For us. For everything that we have. I get bladder leaks.

Christine: We do need to stay in better touch.

Danny: Absolutely do.

Christine: Well, maybe paul and I can come to one of your concerts the next time you’re in town.

Danny: That’s funny you’d say that. I, uh — I have a concert tour date in chicago later in the year, and I already promised tickets to traci, lauren, and michael. We could, uh, make it a party?

Christine: Yeah. Sounds like a plan.

Danny: [ Sighs ] I got to get going, or I’m gonna miss my flight. I just wish we had more time.

Christine: [ Chuckles ] Is that your way of asking me to take you to the airport?

Danny: Well, I would never want to impose. But you did say you were free. And I — I feel there’s so much more to talk about.

Christine: So do I.

[ Sighs ] Looks like you’ve got yourself a ride.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Connor: Pizza this week with johnny?

Chelsea: Connor just asked…

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Chelsea: Can I take johnny and connor for pizza one night this week?

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: Johnny has too much homework. Sure. We’ll find a night that works for all.

Billy: I know I let you down. And our problems are more about my shortcomings than they are about us as a couple.

[ Sighs ] And I’m asking you for one more chance.

Lily: [ Sighs ] Anyway, I told you how I felt. You didn’t even put in the effort into trying to make things better. And I mean, that really hurt me. You know, it made me feel like my feelings didn’t matter to you.

Billy: I messed up, lily. And… I’m so sorry. And I’m going to do whatever it takes. I’ll go to couples therapy. I’ll go today. I’ll make an appointment today. Okay? I’ll do whatever I need to do, because I — I want to fight for our relationship. I want you with all my heart. We have come so far. We’ve been through so much. We can’t stop trying now.

Lily: [ Sighs ] You’re right.

[ Chuckles ] We owe it to ourselves to keep trying.

[ Sighs ]

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Lily: [ Sighs ]

Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ashley: Hi. Hi.

Phyllis: Hey.

Ashley: I came as soon as i got your message. What’s going on?

Phyllis: Diane’s back.

Ashley: Ugh! And I was hoping we were finally rid of her.

Phyllis: Mnh. She never really ran, by the way. That was just to cover so jeremy stark would leave town looking for her. And the worst part for me is my own daughter blew me off for christmas so she could spend it with diane and her husband so he could, you know, live out his childhood dreams with his mom.

Ashley: I am so sorry. That must have been very painful.

Phyllis: I’m not done. There’s more. Ashley, my daughter has always confided in me. She’s always trusted me before diane corrupted her. And my daughter let everybody in town think that I was the one who chased diane out of town, when, really, there was — i don’t know — a jabot-sponsored motorcade bringing her up to the abbott cabin.

Ashley: Listen, I understand your anger because jack did the same thing to me.

Phyllis: Seriously?

Ashley: Yes. He lied right to my face, telling me that diane had fled genoa city in fear. He continues to defend her, and he continues to blame us.

Phyllis: Ashley, what are we gonna do? We’re all in danger now.

Diane: Now that he’s taken the bait, I need to make sure that jeremy doesn’t have any doubts that I want to be with him again.

Jack: No, he has to believe that you’re all-in, that you’re ready to be part of his criminal activities again.

Diane: Well, I also need to make him believe that I’m drawn to him, that I missed him, and that I want to be with him romantically.

Jack: He doesn’t seem to be the kind of guy who trusts easily, if he trusts at all.

Diane: Well, it’s true.

Jack: Well, you’re gonna have to be pretty convincing to persuade him that you’re still attracted to him.

Diane: That’s the plan. Jack, are you worried that i won’t be able to pull this off? Or that I will?

Devon: Hey, look who it is!

Abby: Hi! You want to go see dad?

Devon: How you doing, buddy?

Abby: Yeah!

Devon: Mmm! How you doing? Oh! It’s good to see you. How you doing? Is it cold out there?

Abby: So cold.

Devon: We’re gonna get you all warmed up. How’s mommy?

Abby: Sorry it took us so long.

Devon: Oh, don’t be sorry at all. Gave me a chance to get it all cleaned up around here.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: Look at you. Look at this jacket. Look at your hat.

Abby: Ooh, I can get you one.

Devon: It’s very cute. Can you?

Abby: Mm-hmm.

Devon: I’d love that. Same size, please. I want to match this guy.

Abby: Daddy is so silly. What are we gonna do with him?

Devon: Want to get you out of this? Let’s get you out of this jacket, huh?

Abby: Tucker’s not here yet.

Devon: No, no. He’ll be here any second. But, uh, I appreciate you being okay with him spending more time with dominic.

Abby: Yeah. You know, I’ve thought about it, and I want to dominic to know his entire family. It’s the right thing to do.

Devon: Well, it means a lot to me. It really does. And I think that the more love he gets, the better, right?

Abby: Exactly.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: Yeah. Hi.

Devon: Doesn’t mean that I’m not gonna protect this little guy. I don’t care if it’s family or not. I’m always gonna be there for him.

Abby: I would like to be here for the visit, though, if that’s okay.

Tucker: That is quite a sight.

Jack: You know what? It doesn’t matter how I feel about your plan.

Diane: Well, you’ve made it clear that you hate it.

Jack: Well, the point is, I played my part. I pretended to be outraged that you came back to town only because you couldn’t stand to be away from jeremy stark any longer. The only reason I went along with this scheme is because there didn’t seem to be a viable option to getting this man out of our lives.

Diane: Jack, I promise it will work and I will be safe.

Jack: How can you say that when you’re dealing with a man like stark?

Diane: Because I know how to handle him.

Jack: You just finished telling me he can’t be trusted. Now you’re putting yourself in a situation where you have to convince him you really want him back in your life. I’m not comfortable with any of this.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Well, try to keep your personal feelings out of this and just focus on making the plan work.

Jack: I think I can do that.

Diane: I know you can. Just look at it this way. My job is to make jeremy think that he’s in control.

Jack: Yeah. And when this is over, you will be free of him forever.

Diane: Right. And if I’m going to make my act convincing, I think I need to get back to my hotel.

Jack: Well, no. No, that’s is the last place you should be — under the same roof with this man you don’t trust, alone? No. I want you to stay here.

Ashley: But, see, I’m not surprised by this because i didn’t believe for a second that diane would actually walk away from her meal ticket. In fact, after she had “left town,” I asked jack if he’d actually stashed her away someplace and was getting his kicks by being the hero, you know?

Phyllis: He denied it, of course.

Ashley: Much worse.

Phyllis: Yeah?

Ashley: His righteous indignation was absolutely epic. He expected me to apologize for my part in getting her to leave town. The lies just keep rolling off his tongue. It’s unbelievable.

Phyllis: She has him completely fooled.

Ashley: It makes me wonder. I mean, how far is he willing to go to protect her?

Phyllis: He’s blind. They’re all blind.

Ashley: I know.

Phyllis: I mean, instead of stark being a threat to her and her leaving town, she’s used this to dig in even further.

Ashley: I guess it doesn’t really do any good to remind you I wasn’t a big fan of him.

Phyllis: Well, I know you weren’t — because he was a threat.

Ashley: Yeah.

Phyllis: Jeremy stark was a threat. But she spun this whole thing to her advantage. Really. And she’s manipulated your entire family and my daughter to think that anybody…

Ashley: I know.

Phyllis: …Who points out the truth…

Ashley: I know.

Phyllis: …Is the enemy. She is a sociopath. Her plan is working.

Ashley: I know.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ]

Summer: Mom. I’ve been trying to get in touch with you.

Phyllis: I can’t imagine why.

Summer: Can we please talk?

Phyllis: It’s not a good time.

Tucker: This does my heart such good, being here with you guys. Dominic, you’re one lucky guy.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: Well, we make sure to tell him that every day, whether he’s at my place or here with his dad.

Tucker: And believe me, i know how fortunate I am to do this — ’cause I know I wouldn’t be able to if you weren’t on board with it. So I want you to know how much i appreciate it. Ah, you’re gonna change the world one day, aren’t you?

Abby: Aww.

Devon: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Abby: Poor baby.

Devon: Got to get a full night’s sleep before he changes the world, huh?

Tucker: Yeah.

Abby: I think he’s starting to wind down.

Tucker: Yeah.

Devon: You know what? I’m gonna try and calm him down a little bit. You don’t want to hang out with anybody while you’re tired. Right?

Tucker: Thank you, dominic.

Abby: Aw.

Devon: Let’s get you relaxed.

Tucker: And thank you for letting me be in his life.

Abby: Well, you’re his grandfather.

Tucker: Mm.

Abby: I think it’s important for dominic to know his entire family. In fact, I would like to get reacquainted with his grandfather. So, what have you been up to?

[ Both laugh ]

Tucker: Geez. Where do I begin?

Abby: Well, I know you have business interests around the globe, so I’m sure you have many things clamoring for your attention.

Tucker: Mm, nothing as important as being with family.

Abby: Mm. Do you have any plans for your business while you’re in town?

Tucker: Nothing set in stone.

Abby: How long are you gonna be in town?

Tucker: I haven’t decided yet.

Devon: Hey.

Tucker: Hey.

Devon: I think he’s done for the night. I’m gonna put his pajamas on.

Tucker: Oh, sure. Okay.

Devon: So…

Abby: I love you.

[ Smooches ]

Tucker: Good night. Sweet dreams.

Devon: Say “night, night.”

Tucker: Night, night.

Devon: Say “night, night.” I’ll be right back when he’s asleep.

Tucker: Okay. Well, take your time. We got a lot to talk about.

Devon: Alright.

Abby: Do we?

Tucker: Yeah, we’ll start with the big issue. You don’t trust me. And, frankly, you shouldn’T.

Abby: [ Breathes deeply ] How do I do it all?

Abby: This isn’t about whether or not I trust you or your intentions. I just know what it takes to run a business like the one that you’ve created.

Tucker: Ah. Do tell.

Abby: Well, you’ll do whatever it takes to get what you want, very driven. God help whoever stands in your way.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. That’s a, uh — [ Chuckles ] That’s painfully accurate of the way I lived in my life. But notice I used the past tense there because the man you just described — that’s not the one standing before you now.

Abby: What’s changed?

Tucker: Hmm. Well, uh, I experienced an event that, uh, made me reevaluate everything. It kind of, um, changed my outlook, gave my life a deeper meaning. I guess you could call it a — a revolution in perception.

Abby: Hmm. I assume you’re talking about your time in ashram?

Tucker: You don’t believe that?

Abby: No, I believe you were there. I’m just wondering if it was more of a corporate maneuver or a way to sway public opinion.

Tucker: No, it was very much real and very much enlightening.

Abby: I assume that you understand why I’m so protective of dominic.

Tucker: Of course. Oh, my god, yes. But I would never — I would never do anything to hurt him. I — ever.

Abby: Mm. But I’m sure you said the same thing about my mother.

Summer: Ashley, I’m sorry to interrupt.

Ashley: No, it’s — it’s fine.

Summer: Mom…

Phyllis: Hmm?

Summer: …This is important.

Phyllis: Well, whatever it is, it’s gonna have to wait. I’m having a meeting right now.

Ashley: No, actually, this — this can wait, okay? Call me. It’s fine.

Summer: Mom, you can’t avoid me forever.

Phyllis: I can’t have this conversation with you right now.

Summer: Why not?

Phyllis: Because, um — well, because I’m devastated.

[ Chuckles ]

Summer: Okay. That’s fine. But can you just listen to me, then, please? Mom, I am so sorry. I don’t even know what’s going on with this whole diane and stark thing from minute to minute. It’s overwhelming, and I’m just trying to keep my family safe.

Phyllis: I’m your family.

Summer: I didn’t mean for it to sound like I was excluding you. I’m not. It’s just, I’m — I’ve just been so worried about harrison and kyle.

Phyllis: Ah. Okay. I understand that. Because you would do anything for them, right? You’d bend over backwards for them. But would they treat you like trash? Would they make you think that maybe you don’t matter?

Summer: I’m sorry that I made you feel like I don’t value you.

Phyllis: I am your mother. I don’t care what diane is feeding you. But i am your mother. I know I’ve made mistakes. I know I’ve screwed up. But I [Voice breaking] Would move mountains for you. Mountains, summer. I’d walk through fire for you. I would do anything for you.

Summer: Mom, I know that. I do, okay?

Phyllis: You keep on believing diane over me. I don’t know how to forgive that anymore, summer. I don’t know what to say.

Daniel: Hey, you two. Uh, how about I get us a round of drinks?

Phyllis: Oh, no, I — I have to go, uh… I have a meeting to go to.

Summer: Where? What —

Phyllis: Yeah. I-I just have to be anywhere but here, you know?

Summer: Mom, wait.

Phyllis: Yeah. No. I-I just — I have to — I have to go. Please. I-I can’t talk about this anymore.

Daniel: What the hell was that all about?

Diane: I appreciate the invitation, jack, but I can’t stay here.

Jack: I am not taking no for an answer.

Diane: Well, think about it. I’d be putting everyone at risk.

Jack: We will find some way to work around that.

Diane: What, and — and uproot an entire household? Send them away until it’s safe to come back? You know you can’t do that. And if jeremy got the slightest idea that I ran to you for protection, it would totally undermine the fight that we staged earlier. No!

Jack: You could use that to your advantage. You tell him that you moved in so you could make sure I gave him the second half of that fortune I promised him.

Diane: Which you never should have done. Why did you offer him so much money?

Jack: I honestly thought i was buying your freedom.

Diane: Well, I fully intend to get that money back. I mean it. Every cent.

Jack: Don’t — don’t worry about that. Right now, we have to stay focused on how we get there.

Diane: Exactly.

Jack: So, you let him know that you’re willing to use me and my resources, that you’ll use your role as mother and grandmother to manipulate all of us.

Devon: Alright, devil’s advocate — why would you let me back in after the fight we had at crimson lights?

Jack: Because I have a forgiving nature. Because there’s nothing you will do that I won’t excuse. Hell, half the people in my life already believe that. That should be an easy sell. Besides, this — this feeds into the story that part of you is still attracted to that jet-setting criminal lifestyle. You’ll do anything for stark, including put the family you love in danger.

Diane: No, jack. I’m sorry. It won’t work. We have to do this my way.

Ever notice how stiff clothes can feel rough on your skin?

Diane: I can’t tell you what it means to me that you’re willing to risk so much for my safety.

Jack: Of course we are. We’re talking about your life here.

Diane: But I need to make this look real. I need to walk the walk, live the lie. Everything hinges on me selling this to jeremy.

Kyle: How can we help?

Diane: [ Sighs ] Well, the first thing I’m going to do is tell him that I found an apartment where I’ve been hiding when I ran and, while I’ve been there, I’ve decided what I want to do next.

Kyle: Which is?

Diane: To move back into my suite at the grand phoenix.

Kyle: You can’t go back there. There’s no security.

Diane: Kyle, there’s no other way. There’s no other way. I have to be smart. I have to think five steps ahead. Jeremy will never think I’m on his side if I was to stay here.

Jack: Well, you’re not planning on cutting off all contact with us?

Diane: No, no, of course not. I will also tell him that just because I’m working with him that I’m not going to abandon my family, that I’ve — I’ve tried too hard to reconnect with my son and having my grandson in my life is too important.

Jack: And when stark questions that choice?

Diane: Well, then I’ll let him know that I’m aware of the inherent risks, but I’m confident that I can pull it off. I mean, after all, if I can make everyone believe that I was dead all those years, there’s nothing I can’t do.

Jack: [ Groans ]

Diane: I’m sorry, but it is imperative that I sound cold and calculating, or jeremy will never believe that I’m the person who used to launder money for him. He needs to know that I can work some kind of scam with him while keeping it a secret from the people I’m closest to.

Kyle: This seems like a bad idea. What do you think?

Jack: Oh, I agree with you. I don’t like it.

Diane: But it’s necessary. And I can’t pull any of this off unless I know that the two of you trust me.

Kyle: [ Sighs ] Will you at least let me drive you to the hotel?

Diane: No. I should be careful with every move I make. I don’t want him to see you dropping me off.

Kyle: I don’t like you staying in the same place as this guy.

Diane: I will be fine. Do you two trust me?

Kyle: [ Sighs ] Of course we do.

Jack: It’s stark we’re concerned about.

Diane: I’m going to make this work. I have to. It’s the only way I’ll ever be part of this family.

Daniel: You ready to tell me what I walked in on between you and mom?

Summer: We were arguing about diane again.

Daniel: Ah. What’s the latest?

Summer: Diane wanted it to look like she left town out of fear for this criminal from her past.

Daniel: But in fact…?

Summer: She was at the abbott cabin while jack and kyle tried to figure out a way to deal with the situation.

Daniel: Still doesn’t explain why mom was so furious with you.

Summer: [ Chuckles ] I didn’t tell her what was going on. So I guess that means that I’m choosing diane over my own mother.

Daniel: Yeah, well…

Summer: What?

Daniel: That’s what it looks like from the outside. I can only imagine how she feels.

Summer: Daniel, I’m stuck in an impossible position between kyle’s mom and my own. And I have a child of my own to protect now. Are you — what am I supposed to do? This criminal rolls into town. He’s capable of anything. He’s making threats. And mom was the one that got that ball rolling, by the way.

Daniel: How?

Summer: She made an anonymous call that led him here so that he could find diane.

Daniel: Look, I get it. I can see why you’d be upset with her.

Summer: Thank you.

Daniel: But it does sound like mom was right about diane. So, why would you just ignore that fact and blame her for everything?

Summer: I don’T. I blame diane.

Tucker: Abby, I come in peace. I would never mean any harm to ashley or dominic — or anyone, for that matter.

Abby: [ Sighs ] Look, I want to believe that you’re this changed man, that you have a new outlook on life. But let’s look at the facts. You only reappeared in genoa city after diane returned. The two of you had some sort of relationship in los angeles. You never bothered to tell any of us that she was still alive. So it seems more like a familiar pattern than a brand-new way of living.

Tucker: I’m not sure I see your point.

Abby: I have a reason to be skeptical. I’m the one who walked in on you and diane when you cheated on my mom — for the first time. And then, of course, there was the next time you cheated on her with devon’s mom — harmony. And I told my mom not to reconcile with you.

[ Chuckles ] So, when I see the two of you together — mnh — the alarm bells start going off. So, you can sit there and you can tell me that you’ve changed, that you love my mom, that you would never hurt her, blah, blah, blah, but those are just words. They mean nothing to me.

Tucker: You’re absolutely right. Trust needs to be earned. And until I can demonstrate that I am worthy of your trust, all i ask of you is… that you give me the gift of neutrality, considering the situation we find ourselves in. I mean, after all, you and devon are gonna be in each other’s lives forever.

Abby: What’s that supposed to mean?

For your most brilliant smile,

crest has you covered.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Tucker: No, I just meant that since you and devon had dominic together, you’ll be forever bound by that connection.

Abby: Of course.

Tucker: How’d it go?

Devon: Oh, it went alright. He went right to sleep.

Tucker: Nice, nice.

Abby: Hopefully he’ll sleep through the night.

Devon: Yeah, I hope so, too. I apologize. I’m sorry you didn’t get spend more time with him.

Tucker: Oh, no, no, no. I treasured every second.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Devon: You gonna check that?

Tucker: No, no. I know who it is. It can wait. Hey, thanks so much for including me here. It means a lot to me.

Devon: Absolutely. It means a lot to us, too. The more love that boy has, the better.

Tucker: Mm. Yeah. Well, uh, you two enjoy the rest of your evening.

Devon: Thank you. You too.

Tucker: I think I’m gonna go put myself to bed.

[ Laughter ]

Devon: Well, don’t be a stranger.

Tucker: Oh, you know I won’T.

Devon: Thanks for coming.

Tucker: Okay. Good night.

Devon: Night.

Abby: Good night.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

Devon: Sorry that I left you guys down here so long together.

Abby: Ah, no. Why — why do you think something’s wrong?

Devon: Well, the look on your face when I came back, for one.

Abby: Mm. No, um… no, we were just having an honest conversation, you know, which I think is important since we’ll be spending more time together.

Devon: I like the sound of that. What happened between you guys?

Abby: What do you mean?

Devon: What do you mean, what do I mean? When I came down here, there was a clear vibe going on. So, you gonna tell me about it?

Kyle: As if this plan wasn’t dangerous enough already, on top of everything else, phyllis found out my mother is back in town. Dad, this concerns me.

Jack: Yeah, she was already feeling ostracized and angry. This only makes phyllis more of a wild card.

Kyle: And hopefully summer can help put out that fire. She went to track down her mother to apologize for keeping her in the dark.

Jack: So, what’s your sense? Does phyllis have a frame of mind to accept an apology?

Kyle: I sure hope so. I mean, I will do whatever it takes to get jeremy stark out of my mother’s life, but this is starting to put my wife in the middle of things, trying to balance her relationship with phyllis while supporting me in my relationship with my own mother.

Jack: Yeah, summer has really been there for you, hasn’t she?

Kyle: It’s been tougher than she’s been letting on, but she knows my mom needs our support right now.

Jack: I am sorry that summer and her mother are at odds, but I don’t feel a moment of sympathy toward phyllis. She played dirty, and it backfired. She’s done it before, and knowing phyllis, she’ll do it again. She’s impulsive, and she goes to extremes without considering the consequences.

[ Pounding on door ]

Open up! It’s jeremy!

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Tucker: It’s tucker! Sorry. I just couldn’t resist. Hey.

Diane: You’re a son of a bitch.

Tucker: Uh-huh. Ah, I see.

[ Door closes ] So, first you couldn’t pack because you were in such a panic to get out of town, and now you’re packing because…? Hmm? I think I know. You’ve booked a finely appointed suite at the abbott house.

Diane: Go to hell. Just between us, you know what’s better than mopping?

Summer: I mean, did mom call stark and tell him where he could find diane? Yeah. But everyone’s forgetting a very important fact. Stark is a criminal. It was only a matter of time before he found diane all by himself. They have unfinished business.

Daniel: That’s a good point. Sounds like everyone was being way too hard on mom.

Summer: I agree. But…how do I tell my husband that the mother he is so grateful to have back in his life has brought nothing but nonstop misery and chaos to our doorstep? You know, I’ll give him that harrison loves her, and, yeah, she’s great with him, but it doesn’t change the fact that she’s the reason our child is now in danger. And she is the reason that our marriage is now complicated beyond belief.

Daniel: It’s, uh… it’s a lot. Sorry, I had no idea that things had gotten this bad.

Summer: That’s because I have been trying really, really hard to just keep everything inside. I mean, I have just been going along with everything that kyle wants for the sake of our marriage.

Daniel: So, what are you gonna do now?

Diane: What are you even doing here?

Tucker: I need to know when jeremy stark is leaving town.

Diane: Why? You getting nervous?

Tucker: I got big plans, and he could mess them up, so I want him gone.

[ Clicks tongue ] Make it happen.

Diane: I’m trying. But in case you haven’t noticed, my life is in danger.

Tucker: You have such a flair for the dramatic. You’re far better off than you’d care to admit.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Tucker: By the way, I just think you did a spectacular job with jack. Remarkable, what you’ve been able to accomplish in such a short time. I should really pat myself on the back for aiding you in your quest, though.

Diane: How the hell can you say that you’ve been helping me? When I told jack about my past with jeremy, you lost your hold over me. You couldn’t force me to be your spy and give you intel about jabot’s financials, so you turned on me. You told ashley all about jeremy being released from prison, knowing full well she was involved with that coven who was doing everything they could to run me out of town. You know, you set this in motion, tucker. You put all the people I care about in danger in the process. You were sacrificing all of us just so you could, what, win over ashley?

Tucker: And yet here you are, back in the saddle.

Diane: Yeah. Yeah. Forced to deal with jeremy stark, to eliminate the threat that you brought to this town. I mean, I’ve become toxic to my family. So, as a matter of fact, to answer your question, I’m checking back in to this hotel.

Tucker: Something tells me jack will find a way to turn things around.

Diane: No. I’ve — I’ve lost him.

Tucker: Oh, give me a break. You got him wrapped around your finger. You know, diane, I’m starting to think that I could learn a thing or two from you.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Tucker: Well, may we both get the abbott of our dreams. See you around.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Door slams ]

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Abby: Tucker just pointed out that you and I will always be connected…because of dominic.

Devon: He’s not wrong.

Abby: You know, I don’t think it would be the worst thing in the world for dominic and tucker to spend time together, occasionally, to be in each other’s lives.

Devon: Yeah. Well, you’ve clearly had a change of heart.

Abby: Mm. This is purely for your sake, not for your father’S.

Devon: I still appreciate it. How you doing otherwise?

Abby: You know, when we’re with each other… things just feel so… uncomplicated and easy. It just — it feels right. What? [ Laughs ]

Devon: No, it’S… I feel exactly the same way. Dry skin is sensitive skin, too.

Devon: I really want you to stay.

Abby: I want to stay.

Phyllis: [ Slurring ] Amanda, why didn’t you answer? Ugh, I’m having a hard time. I miss you. You’re the only one who gets me. I have abandonment issues. You know that about me.

[ Chuckles ] My daughter turned her back on me. You moved. So… I need to talk to you. Call me back. Or just move back here. Alright. I’ll talk to you later. I love you.

Tucker: Sounds like you could use someone to talk to.

[ Chuckles ]

Phyllis: I’m impervious to your charm, okay? That’s never, ever gonna change, tucker. You know?

[ Sighs ] If I need a friend, I will go find… one of mine.

Tucker: I see. Well, you know, we don’t have to be friends to have a mutually beneficial relationship.

Summer: I mean, I deserve an award for all the acting I’ve had to do. Every day is this massive production about protecting and defending diane, and I have to sit here and pretend like i believe that she’s the victim. This is a woman that burned her own life to the ground before she faked her death and stayed away for years, living a life of crime. And jack and kyle — they’re operating under this delusion that our mom is the problem, that she’s the one that created this whole mess. And you want to know what’s even more infuriating?

Daniel: Oh, there’s more?

Summer: Diane convinced kyle to lie to me about a piece of her past. I mean, he told me the truth anyway, eventually, and I was sure to let her know that. I told her not to come between me and kyle.

Daniel: What did she say?

Summer: She said all the right things. She always says all the right things. Every conversation with her is so carefully curated.

Daniel: How’s kyle handling all this?

Summer: Great. I’m hiding all my feelings, and he believes every word she says. She’s his mother.

Daniel: Mm. But how could he forgive her for abandoning him when he was a child?

Summer: He thinks she’s changed, that she’s incapable of being that same person that she was decades ago when she left him.

Daniel: Well, this can’t be easy for you.

Summer: I feel like I’m holding my breath 24/7. And it’s not like I can even go to mom and unload any of this. I literally have no one to talk to. I’m just… I’m glad that you’re here so i can finally be honest with someone.

Daniel: Look, I’m happy to listen. I will always listen. I don’t think you should have kept it all bottled up in the first place.

Summer: I’m dealing with this the only way that I can. I mean, kyle and I have managed to stay strong, so…

Daniel: Because you’re lying to him.

Summer: Only by omission. I’m protecting him. I’m protecting our marriage.

[ Sighs ] You’re right. It’s gonna get a lot more difficult now that diane has decided to stay and drag my husband even deeper into her mess. I don’t know how much longer kyle can just ignore the havoc that she’s caused before his blindness about his mother starts to come between us.

[ Door closes ]

Diane: I’ve unpacked. Hopefully everyone will think that I’ve returned to genoa city to be with jeremy stark.

Kyle: Did you see him?

Diane: No, not yet. I just wanted to get back here to reassure you guys that I’m okay.

Kyle: You need to know that even though I hate this plan, I’ve got your back. I’ll do whatever you need, help however I can.

Diane: I couldn’t ask for a better son.

Kyle: I couldn’t ask for a better mom. Now that you’re okay, I’m gonna go check on harrison.

Diane: Okay.

Jack: I can see that this is already wearing on you.

Diane: Mm. Well, I need to keep my game face on and, uh, not be so transparent with jeremy if I’m going to pull this off.

Jack: Which is all the more reason you should rely on me. What you’re doing isn’t easy. You can let your guard down with me.

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: You can talk about this, identify problems, hone the plan…

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: …Find the perfect way to get jeremy stark out of your life for good.

Diane: Thank you, jack, for everything.

[ Door opens ]

Ashley: Come on.

[ Door slams ] I mean, really, what is going on?

Jack: [ Sighs ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

luck tracking now, Rolf? So far every lead just brings us straight into another dead end. Okay, we’ll keep at it. We need to find this guy. We need to get him to admit what leash in did to Steph. Oh, almost forgot the messenger. Dropped us off for you.

Oh, everything okay? Yeah, it’s from my attorney,

my divorce papers.

You wanna divorce Sander? I don’t want to divorce him, but what choice do I have now that he’s done what he’s done and lied to me about it? Well, sir, I, I, I know how hurt you are, but is it, is it possible that, well, that you’re overreacting? Overreacting mom. He kidnapped two women and he committed multiple felonies in the process, and now one of those women is dead.

So if anything, I am Underreacting. Sarah’s telling everyone that Xander is the kidnapper. Who exactly do you mean by everybody? Okay. I may have rounded up. It’s not an exact figure. Well, can you give me an exact figure? Well, I just, oh, for God sake, Maddie, can you just tell me please, I need to understand who knows?

The first starter, Sarah’s mother. Maggie knows. And Bonnie. And Justin too. And believe me, they were not too happy about what Xander did.

What buddy? Okay. He’s just lucky I didn’t go. Thanks. Think. Hey, I’m the one who should be complaining. You got some rock hard abs dude. Are you done what hitting him for now? It’s a relief. This isn’t over, kiddo. We’re just getting started here. It’s what do I owe this bruising. Are you seriously gonna sit there and pretend you don’t know what you.

Sarah told us everything. Andrew. We know what you did to me and you are gonna pay for it. Now,

Steph, what’s going on? Why are you upset? I heard you talking to Chad just now telling him that he needed to back off because you and I are together. Okay? You heard that? I heard that. All right. Well I just thought, you know, it’s a workday and I didn’t think it was really appropriate of him to ask you to go to To what?

Stop by to see his friend take a few hours off to go to the park with his kids. Okay. Alright. Alright. I think there’s been a little bit of a misunderstanding. You’re damn right there has been. You have no right to tell me who I can’t and can’t see from not your property.

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

No, Steph, of course I do not think that you are my property. But you think it’s your right to tell Chad to stay away from me? That’s not what I was saying, babe. No, no. Then how would you describe that conversation? I would describe that conversation as Chad not being completely honest about his feelings for you, because he had romantic feelings for you before and I’m not sure he’s over.

Well, I am sure he has made it very clear that he’s not ready to be with anyone yet because he’s still in mourn. Ah. Yet he still finds ways to spend time with you. We work together. He shows up at Christmas with gifts for you. Then he asks you to go ice skating with him and his kids on Workday. He didn’t ask me.

Thomas and Charlotte ask me. Oh. Just like the gifts at Christmas were from the kids. Are you accusing Chad of using his kids to get close to me? No. No, no. Of course not, but I do think what he’s taking advantage of the situation.

You defending Xander to me. I’m not defending Xander’s actions, I’m just saying before you take such a drastic step like divorce, that you should consider the factors that drove Xander to such a terrible decision factors. So being in debt justifies kidnapping Two women. Oh, nothing justifies that, but I, I.

I believe that sand never meant to hurt either one of them, don’t you? I, I want to believe that honey, let them go, didn’t he? Not right away, but eventually, right? Oh, we should get him a medal. He didn’t intentionally hurt the two women he was holding against their will. What a hero. Sarah, I’m just trying to help you see that it doesn’t have to end if you don’t want it.

It’s not gonna be easy, but you can save your marriage. But like what kinda person am I if I condo that staying withand doesn’t mean that you condo it, it might as well No, I’m I, I’m a doctor. It is my job to help people. I mean, how can I be with someone who would put someone else’s life in danger? Like, Well, if you still love him, I’m not like you, mom.

I cannot live with myself if I am married to a man like Xander, I guess. Now I know why you didn’t wanna sue rednecks, right? Justin, let me explain. That would’ve been some interesting litigation. The plaintiff and the defendant being the same person. I can’t believe I actually tried to help you. I didn’t want to involve you.

You involve me when you kidnap my. And spent weeks lying about it. Xander, I never wanted Bonnie to be a part of all this. You had a funny way of showing it. It must have been so funny watching me trip all over myself thanking you and calling you my hero. You must have got a huge laugh out of how stupid I was.

Was not laughing at you. I promise. All I felt was a terrible guilt and shame. You should be ashamed. No, you should be proud of yourself. Is proud because you are a criminal mastermind. Might as well enjoy your handy work. Genius move, by the way, getting someone else to pretend to be the clown. Now, who was it?

Who was your accomplice? Tell me. Was it your good buddy, Gwen?

Sorry, boss. Stop. Not like I wasn’t expecting these still it’s, it’s not fun when they send you the papers. I’m actually the one that sent them 10, Nicole. She just signed them and sent them back. So that’s it. Then it’s basically done. Yeah. Yes. As soon as I sign these, our marriage is over.

Are you, are you sure you wanna do that right here? Not in your or something? Yeah, it’s fine.

Oh, maybe it isn’t.

I remember the day when my divorce papers. I mean, we had been separated for a while. It wasn’t like I was holding out hope for some last minute reprieve, but, but still, it, it’s, it’s just something about how final it feels, you know, seeing your, your names in black and white, accepting that my marriage, something I tried very, very hard to save was just, Over.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, believe me, if I thought that there was a, a chance to save it, I, I, I would still be fighting. So why the hesitation? I guess? Um,

I don’t know. Even though Nicole’s the one who wanted to end our marriage, I just. I just, I feel like, uh, I failed

again.

Oh, sweetheart. I can’t imagine how betrayed you must feel by Xander’s actions, and I’m sure right now you feel that the best solution is to wash your hands of him. And I felt that way in my marriage a few times. This is different. Mom. Victor never pretended to be anything other than he was. Oh, Victor has done plenty of things that I haven’t been happy with.

Just don’t think I’m as forgiving as you. Oh, it’s not about forgiving. It’s about love. So if you love someone, you just have to accept them no matter what. No, of course not. But you have to hang on and you have to to. Until you can’t any longer, you owe that to yourself. You married Xander, you made vows to him.

Not sure that, for better or worse included kidnapping, but if you still love him, you know I do. Yeah.

I am always going to,

how do I trust that he will never do something like this again? And how do I stay in a marriage if I can’t trust my husband? Well, you know, if you feel that way and you can’t imagine ever trusting him again, then you should.

You think that there’s still a chance? Oh, . It’s too soon to make that decision. The pain and the betrayal, it’s just too raw. You need time to think to make sure, because you know what? You may change your mind tomorrow. Next week, next month.

I don’t want you to do something that you can’t undo. Okay? I love you very much. You the strongest person I know. So you decide I’ll be here to support you. Okay? I love you. Love you too.

Oh, bloody hell. Of course, Sarah blabbed all over town. It was wishful thinking that she’d keep her mouth shut. Oh, well, considering how she feels about what you did to keep Xander from her, I’d say miracle is more like it. I still cannot believe you, and Xander was so careless as to stand in the middle of the park and have a conversation about Zander.

I have to warn him. What are you doing? What are you doing? I have to phone him. Why? Because I already feel guilty about my role in Sarah learning the truth. I can’t be the reason Xander goes to prison. Xander kidnapping people will be the reason he goes to prison. Yeah, but maybe if I could get that first, I could, I could maybe make things better and I could, oh, okay.

Gwen, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. I did not wanna have to do this, but it’s time for the mittens to come off and the tough love to come out. I love you and you need to stay the hell away from Zander. Gwen, why don’t you think Gwen was the clown that attacked us in that warehouse? You mean the clown you enlisted to attack you in that w.

What? I dunno. We know Gwen created that fake website for you and the fake employment contract and she covered up your crime. Multiple crimes. Gwen had nothing to do with the kidnapping, I promise, because she’s so innocent, right? Speak a good friend to me, some friend. Forget it. Bunny. Xander’s never gonna roll over on Gwen.

At least not to us. But maybe he’ll change his mind when he talks to the cops calls. Huh? What’d you think You were gonna skate? One gut punch and you were gonna get off. Justin, you don’t have to do this. Some free legal advice cousin. Get yourself a good attorney. You’re gonna need one. Let’s go buddy. No, I don’t please you.

I seriously don’t come back. Can I interest you some Red Chad and I are friends and it’s not like he’s forcing me to hang out. Coming here today was my decision. Certainly not yours. You’re right. You’re absolutely right. I’m sorry that I overstepped. Damn right. I’m overstepped. I can’t help it that I care about you.

I worry about you. You have a big heart and what I’ve been seeing lately, to me, it just looks. Like what? Like Chad is manipulating me. Oh, I think that’s a strong word, but, but it’s what you were thinking, right? I was thinking that this whole situation, it’s not fair. Okay. I don’t, I don’t understand where this is coming from.

I mean, you’re the one who asked him to stay and play video games with us on Christmas. I know I was. I did. So what was that about? Were you just pretending to be a nice guy? You didn’t really want him to stay? God, of course. I didn’t want him to stay. Steph, you and I were about to have sex. Well, then why didn’t you say something?

Because it’s sad. Chad, the widower upset on Christmas. I’m not gonna throw him out in the cold. It’s not a good look and I don’t wanna look like a jerk. Wow. I’m making up for that now, aren’t you, Steph? I’m okay. I’m sorry that you didn’t wanna spend Christmas with Chad. I’m sorry that you think I’m spending too much time.

But he’s still grieving his wife, my cousin. If I can, if I can help him, then I owe it to Abigail. Babe, do you really think that’s helping you don’t think it could be. Maybe making it worse. What is that supposed to mean? Did it ever occur to you that Maybe your leading chat on.

I would never lead Chad on again. Maybe not intentionally, but you hired him to consult at your company. He comes over at Christmas with gifts. You go ice skating with him and his kids. Those kids are my family and they just lost their mother. Okay, Steph, you’re not just going with the kids ice skating.

You’re going together as a. And it’s not just today, it’s not just a Christmas, it’s anytime Chad shows up upset, you let him in. Okay? He’s not a stray dog. He’s my friend. He’s your friend who wanted something more outta the relationship. And I, I, I don’t understand why the more chances that you give him and the more time you spend with him, the more of a chance he thinks there’s gonna be something between the two of you.

So, so you think that by being kind to Chad, I’m some. Signaling that I wanna be with him, that, that I want him to get over his dead wife and fall for me. No, that, no, that maybe I’m not explaining this correctly or right. Then let me explain it. There is nothing romantic going on between me and Chad. He knows that you and I are seeing each other.

He respects that he respects me, which is more than I can say for some people right now, Steph. So. If you don’t mind, the kids are waiting, I will text you to reschedule our meeting.

Just because your marriage failed doesn’t make you a failure. How about three? Three marriages? Mm-hmm. , and now three divorces.

You at a certain point, you gotta start looking at yourself in the mirror. I’m wondering what the hell’s wrong with you that you couldn’t make it work. I know you can’t think like that. Okay, so, uh, how should I think

I haven’t known you very long, but you still seem like the guy who believes in love. God only knows why. I mean, you’ve been hurt, but you still try again. You’ve taken chances. I mean, it’s better to have loved and lost, right? Sorry. Is that really cringey? A little? Yeah. I don’t even know if it’s true. Well then let me give you some actual advice.

Says you have to sign this, right? Take some time. Go on a walk or something, you know, just, just make sure it’s something that you are ready to do when you need to do

so. You can even wait for me to finish my advice. No, I appreciate the effort, but I was just dragging out the pain and now I’m glad it’s over. You sure you’re okay, boss? Yeah. Wasn’t actually. Maybe. Maybe you should take the rest of the up. Nope. No. I am going to get back to doing what I do best. Putting away the bag.

Guys. All great news. We’ve got one of those for you.

You think I should stop talking to Zana? Stop talking to him. Stop seeing him. Unfollow him on Insta Fire. Can’t abandon him. Not now. The loving part of me would say, I understand it’s gonna be hard. You just need a little distance. And the tough part, save your ass while you can. But what if he needs me Lookwe?

Nobody knows better than I do. What a great day smoke show this guy is. And I know he’s still nestled deep inside your sweet, damaged heart, but he roped you into a kidnapping scheme that ended with somebody dead. He’s sinking. Gwen, you gotta abandon ship. But you sure it isn’t really already over? I mean, aren’t there any lifeboats out there?

Well, you haven’t been arrested. That’s a good sign. Yeah. But you said that Sarah was going around town saying what Sandra did. Do you think she’s gonna leave my name out of it? I would guess by now. She’s blaring your name out there in neon lights.

Sarah is your, your home up. That’s what you were working. I had the overnight shift. You must be exhausted, aren’t you? If she’s asleep, I can clear out. No,

I’m not staying here. I should have known. That’d be too much to hope for. You just missed Bonnie and Justin. How was that? Well, she punched me in the gut and he vaped at me, thrown in prison. That poor woman has been living in terror thinking that there’s some maniac out there trying to get her. So if you thought that I was gonna lie to her and Justin about you being the kidnapper, why you did it, Sarah, I don’t blame you.

But does that mean you’re also gonna talk to the police?

I have not spoken to the police. Well, Justin and Bonnie just left for the station to turn you in for being her kidnapper. He has the plan, but the whole case is based on

what you told them You overheard. So I’m wondering, are you gonna corroborate this story?

I hadn’t really thought about that. Must have crossed your mind before you told Bonnie she was a victim. She deserved to know who terrorized her, right? And now she’s gonna share that knowledge with the police. And that first question is gonna be how she knows, at which time she’s gonna tell them she heard it from you.

So you are gonna be the next call. So my question is, What are you gonna say to them?

So now that you know what Andrew did to me, are you gonna arrest him? Because I know exactly where he is. Unless of course he tried to flee already. Okay, well, I’m afraid that it’s not that simple. Why not? Because we’re bringing them secondhand knowledge, hearsay, unusable in a court of. I’m afraid That’s right.

But Sarah heard Xander talk about what he did to me. She told us. She can tell you they’re still gonna need proof. Proof. How about the fact that I was held prisoner? How about the fact that Susan Banks is dead? Okay. Not proof that you were kidnapped. Proof that it was Xander under that clown mask. Oh my God, what are you gonna do?

Let him get away with it. Are we supposed to just go about our lives like nothing happened? No. We are gonna do everything that we possibly can to make sure that he faces the consequences, but in order to do that, we need definitive evidence or someone to confess.

I am telling you, Gwenny, I have never done a better acting job in my life. You can only imagine the flap sweat coming out of every pour in my body. Lovely image. When Bonnie started talking about Xander rescuing her from that clown, it was like there’s a white hot spotlight shining on my soul. What were they asking?

What weren’t they asking? How could Xander be guilty of kidnapping when he was tied up right next to her having a knockdown drag out with her friendly neighborhood clown? She didn’t figure out that the second clown was you. Did she? Would I be standing here if she did? Oh, thank God. I don’t thank him. She thinks it was you.

Sweet to Jason’s mom. Huh? Take the kids for cocoa. It was, where’s Alex? He had to go back to work.

Listen. Um, I’m sorry about before. What do you mean you guys had a meeting scheduled and. And, uh, I’m, I’m sorry for making you miss it. Don’t worry about it. I wanted to play hooky. Hmm. So I feel a little, feel a little guilty.

Is this because of what Alex said to you?

What did Alex say to me? I heard a bit of your conversation before I walked up earlier. Oh, and just so you know, I don’t agree with him. You and I are friends and I enjoy spending time with you. He seemed pretty upset. Yeah, well, he has no reason to be. He’s just letting his insecurities get the best of him.

Even so I feel like I’m becoming an issue and I, and I, I told you I didn’t wanna become a problem for you too. You’re not. It’s his issue, not mine, and certainly not yours. Yeah. Well, it’s not unreasonable for Alex to wanna spend time with the woman that he’s seen.

If you and I were dating, I wouldn’t wanna share you with another man either.

Bonnie thought I was the clown. Well, technically it was Sarah’s theory. Not much of a stretch, I suppose, considering that she knows you helped cover up the original kidnapping, God, I mean, look at me. How? How? How can I pass for a muscle bound clown the same way I could, despite my slender figure and delicate features?

I knew about the bodysuit. How did they know? Apparently the cops found some evidence of it. Salem PD doing their jobs to go figure. So you are telling me that Sarah and Bonnie. Actually think that Zander had a physical fight with. Actually Bonnie was skeptical. Gosh, I should hope so. No, no, no. You shouldn’t hope so, because if they follow the trail of the second clown, it could lead them right to my doorstep.

I finally have my life together. Gwenny Sonny is actually starting to trust me for once. I am not a complete screw up. The last thing I need is any trouble with the law. Could that be.

Oh, but it is Leo. Hope we’re not interrupting.

I can’t lie to the police. If they ask me what I heard you and Gwen talking about, then I have no choice but to tell them. I understand that. I’ve never asked you to lie Sarah, but you might not have to.

What do you mean you do have the option of not saying anything at all? The right turn remains. I am not the one under suspicions, Andrew. That’s not what I’m talking about. From what I’ve gleaned in this country, a wife can’t be compelled to testify against her husband.

That’s presuming I still am your wife.

I appreciate you trying to understand Alex’s point of view, but I don’t want anything he said to affect our friendship. It won’t. I’m really grateful for the time that you’ve spent with me and the kids. I think, um, I think it really helps. Get, uh, get through the first holiday without their mother.

But we’re past Christmas now, so if you need a break, I don’t need a break. I like spending time with you and the kids. Oh, I think that’s part of Alex’s issue. Two damn bad. I’m not looking to upset him, but at the end of the day, who I spend my time with is not his. It’s mine and I’ve made it. Besides, he has nothing to worry about.

We were just friends. Right.

We’re more than that.

I’m really proud of you. You know, from punching Xander. Well, not too, but for telling the police what he did to. I know how hard that was for you. I’m just glad it’s over, you know? And it was worth bringing up those awful memories if, if it can make sure as Andrew gets what he deserves. Well, my hope is that knowing who did this to you will not put an end to your nightmares, and you no longer have to live in fear of being attacked by a clown.

Thank you. You make me feel so safe. I always want you to feel that way. You get way. But Justin, I feel badly. For you. For me? Mm-hmm. . Why Santa is your family. You trusted him. You cared about him? I did. For him to hurt your wife? Like. To hurt you, God, you must feel so betrayed. I am. But the most important thing is to make sure that Xander and whoever helped him gets what they deserve.

So officers, what can I do for you? It’s Kamus, Scher and Detective actually. Oh yeah, that’s right. My mistake.

You. It’s just a little cramp in my leg. Would you like to sit down? Um, Leo can get you some water. No, I can. No, no, no, no, no. No trouble. That’s okay. This isn’t gonna take long, right Then. So, um, what is this about the kidnapping of Bonnie Kikis and Susan Banks? Oh yeah. What about it? Well, No need for the innocent act.

Okay. We already know you were an accessory after the fact. I’m not even sure know what that means. Bonnie came by the station and she laid out a very plausible explanation about the kidnapping and it’s aftermath. Oh yeah, I know. Oh, poor woman. She must be so traumatized after what she went through. Did she accuse me?

She told us that Xander Cook was her kidnapper Sander. How awful. Which is why we’re here. I didn’t understand. We know you helped him, but we also know that you want the Mastermind. So any details you can provide to help us build the case again, Sandra would be greatly appreci. Well, like I said, I would love to help, but, um, I’m sorry, I dunno.

Anything about the incident. All right. Right. That’s right, of course. Okay. Well, should you suddenly remember something? I’m sure we can work something out. Work something out. Yeah. Well, you know, it, uh, seems unfair for you to be punished for Xander’s crimes, especially after the, uh, the way he treated you.

And I know Xander and I promise. The minute he is faced with prison, he’s gonna take you down with him.

We’re more than friends. Yeah, we’re family. We’ll always be connected. And I, I think that’s probably what struck a nerve with Alex. You’ll get over it or he won’t,

but I know, uh, my kids really like spending time. And so do I. But you know, if you ever feel like we’re taking advantage, I’ll say something. Not that I think you would ever do that, but if for any reason it gets to be too much, I promise, I’ll let you know. Good. But just do me a favor, you know, don’t hurt my feelings Too bad.

Yeah. Let me down. Easy sensitive . Just make something up. Tell me that, uh, that you’re working or train for a triathlon. Mm-hmm. . Yeah. I’ll let you down. Easy . I appreciate that. So don’t give this Alex stuff another thought. Okay.

Oh, it’s for me to worry about.

Well, your offer is very generous, but um, I’m afraid I’ve got nothing to say. You don’t have anything to say or you don’t wanna say it? Well, either way, I’m not going to be talking until I have a nice little chat with my attorney. Fine. Yeah. But I wouldn’t wait too long because this case is not going away.

Understood. Have a nice day, Mr. Mr. Stark. Yeah, you too.

Well, that was stressful. Oh, you telling me, I mean, you practically threatened to arrest me. What are you gonna do? How hell should I know? Have you thought about? You know, taking the deal. You want me to throw Zander under the bus? Oh, I know you still love him, but you’ve been risking everything for this guy and he’s still pining for Sarah.

I can’t believe if I’m saying this, but I actually agree with the cops. Why should you suffer for something that Xander did? So you punched Sandra in the stomach, . It was a pretty good shot too. I needed to blow off. Well, that’s understandable. As we speak. The police are trying to build a case against him.

How do you feel about that? Uh, I think he should face the music after what he did to Bonnie. I, uh, I appreciate you saying that, Maggie, especially since he’s your son-in-law. Yes, he is. I care about him very much. And you know, despite what he did, he loves my daughter or Sarah. It’s so awful for her to know she’s married to a kidnapper.

Well, actually, she’s thinking about ending the marriage.

Are you saying you, you don’t want to be married to me anymore?

My mother tried to convince me that I was rushing into this, and honestly, I didn’t know how I would feel when I saw you, and then

when I reached for that door. My heart was racing.

I wasn’t sure what I’d find,

what find,

I mean, it’s not like I expected you to be in here with your cloud mask. It’s just,

it proved to me that. I don’t trust you anymore.

I never will Sarah say that for divorce when I leave here,

nothing. Excuse me. I’m gonna go.

That hot stone massage was exactly what I needed. I think it was a good idea coming to the end for New Year’s Eve.

Go on something rough. I’m reading a very disturbing message from Brave. You’re not even gonna believe what Kristen has done. Now.

Go ahead. How can this be happening? Kristen? Just come and sit. I can’t sit Brady. I can barely breathe. I mean, whoever took her, why, why haven’t they made a, a ransom demand? Why haven’t they, why haven’t they told us what they need from us? We were told to wait for further instructions. We just need to be patient, patient, patient.

Our daughter has been kidnapped to Brady. Okay? Should be hurt or worse after what we went through to be a family. Like we can’t lose her. She.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 hi. Ava: Hey. Thanks for letting me stop by. I know it’s late. No, come on in. You said it’s important. Yeah. Oh, I hope I’m not disturbing nina. No. She’s with sonny. What’s up? I’m worried, ava. I have got to find a way to help nikolas. And you came to me?

[ Chuckles ] Well, because you know him, you know. Y-you probably know him better than anyone else now. And I just was hoping maybe you could shed some light on why he seems so afraid. What does victor have on my son? Dante: Ms. Prince. Ms. Prince. Hi. I’m detective falconeri. We’ve met before. Can you tell me what happened to you?

[ Monitor beeping ] What happened? Well, you’re being treated for hypothermia. Hypothermia? Why? I was hoping you could tell me. That, and also, uh, where you’ve been hiding out the last six months? I’d like to believe that you’re here out of concern for me, but I know that you always have an ulterior motive, so what is it? My motive is my family. Right. If you’ll excuse me, I need a moment alone with my father. Yikes. That’s seemed, um, intense. Esme showing up like that must have been a shock for — will you just level with me for once? What do you want to know? If my psycho ex-girlfriend is carrying your kid. Hey, what are you doing here? I work here. Well, why are you not out doing what young people do on new year’s eve? Well, technically, it’s january 1st, so… my point exactly. Why are you not with that beautiful girlfriend bringing the new year in with a bang? How are you?

[ Chuckles ] On a scale from 1 to 10? 11.

[ Chuckles ] Me, too.

[ Smooches ] But I meant about what happened on the docks. Someone tried to kill you tonight. Oh, that.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, that.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] I feel… lucky and uneasy. But somehow here with you, I feel safe. You are. Your dress is torn. Are you bleeding?

[ Breathing heavily ] Britta, what’s wrong? I guess I… had more to drink than I realized. I’m calling for help. No. No, don’T. But something is obviously wrong. No. It’s too late.

This wasn’t the plan. No, but I can’t say I never thought of it. You?

[ Sighs heavily ] Well, I would just try to push those thoughts down. Why? Dex, you work for sonny, and I’m never going to be okay with that. All of those lies that I used to tell myself — that sonny was actually an honorable man and his behavior was justified — I’m never going to tell myself those lies again.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Alright. It is your lucky day. This is the last one. Ohh, look at that, huh? Look at that brownie. You know what? I-I’m not going to touch it yet. I-I texted my schnitzel to come join me. You didn’t ring in the new year with dr. Obrecht? Well, yes, I-I was at the — the — britt’s birthday party, but then I got a call from a client, and I-I had to go. What, did someone spill champagne, fall, and break their hip? Collarbone. Ah, and you’re suing? Yeah. Keep me in brownies ’til 2024. Mm, sounds like I should go work for you. Oh, yeah. Listen, if you ever need any money or anything — scotty, I’m — I’m fine. Okay, listen to me. You got to squeeze in some fun because it’s — it’s true what they say. Life is short. Liesl: Don’t be defeatist, britta.

[ Coughs ] It isn’t a good look on anyone, but especially not on you. It’s only a scratch. How did it happen?

[ Breathing heavily ] You know me — two left feet. The huntington’s? Definitely doesn’t help. Let’s get you home, cleaned up, and in bed. No metro court, I want you to stay with me. Come on. Oh. You — you ne– you never made a toast. I think you’ve had enough for tonight. You can barely keep your eyes open. Humor me.

[ Sighs ] Come on. It’s my birthday.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Coughs ]

[ Laughs ] To many more nights like this, hmm. I’ve been thinking a lot about wasted time lately. Me, too. I wasn’t affectionate enough. Too focused on molding you. Unable to simply appreciate you were unable to see the plain truth. Your life was a miracle. I was a fool, britta. I robbed us both. I never held you enough. I — I never held your brother at all because I gave him up. I didn’t even get to hold him at the end.

[ Coughing ] Britta?

[ Gasps ] Britta, darling? You are not drunk. This isn’t huntington’S. Britta, darling, what’s happened to you?

[ Coughs ] You know, nikolas led me to believe that he was in some pretty deep trouble. Um, he wouldn’t say what it was, but he did say that his uncle victor could either save him or ruin him. Do you have any idea what he was referring to?

[ Grunting ]

[ Screaming ] I wish I could tell you. But as we both know, nikolas does not tell me everything. I’m sorry he hurt you, ava. I mean, what he did — it was unforgivable. But I also remember a time when the two of you shared everything. Yeah, I thought so, too. But now I’m — I’m questioning everything. Even the happy moments. Well, I know for a fact that he regrets his choices. And, well, if I’m being perfectly honest, I have a few regrets, too. Keep your voice down. You think you can keep this a secret? Esme will wake up, and when she does, she is going to blow you out of the water. I don’t know how pregnant she is, but I definitely know that it’s not mine, which leaves you. Does that mean esme is awake? I’ve paged the doctor. He should be in soon. Water. You haven’t been cleared for that yet, I’m sorry. Let’s stop stalling. I’m not stalling. I’m freezing. I’ll get you another blanket. Thank you.

[ Monitor beeping ] Do you want me to repeat the question, ms. Prince? Why do you keep calling me that?

Dr. Ashford, how’s esme? That’s what I’m about to find out. This is unacceptable. What is the point of being on a board if no one will tell you anything? Come with me. Wow. Your dad is really invested in esme. You have no idea. What did you talk about? Nothing important. Really? Didn’t look that way. That’s the thing with cassadines — our conversations always appear fraught. It’s part of the mystique. Hey, we should be celebrating. Our plan worked. We lured the hook out of hiding by pretending to be together. Yeah…I’m not so sure we did. Any nausea or headache?

[ Shivering ] How about any tenderness? No.

[ Shivering continues ] Get me a fetal heart monitor and order an O.B. Consult with an ultrasound. Wait. Why would — why would you need that? When was the last time you felt the baby move? Baby? Oh, my god. I’m pregnant? What regrets could you have? I hate that my son couldn’t be a better husband to you. That’s his fault, not yours. Yeah, maybe you’re right, but, I don’t know, looking back on it, I, um, I repeatedly encouraged you to work things out with nikolas, and [Sighs] I shouldn’t have done that. W-why not? You couldn’t have known where we’d end up. No, no. Nikolas, and nikolas alone, is at fault for the demise of our marriage. So I don’t want to hear about regrets, okay? Not — not yours, anyway. I don’t usually think of myself as naive, but I guess I had hoped that his relationship with you would make him a better man. I thought so, too. And for a while there, I — I thought it did. I guess we’re both naive, then, huh? Dex: Would you slow down?

[ Sighs ] I can’T. I need to talk to cameron. It’s the middle of the night. I can’t let him go into the new year thinking we’re something we’re not. It’s not fair. Do you regret it? This? No. But it was wrong to give in to my feelings for you when I’m still with somebody else. I owe cam the respect of a conversation. He’s not just my boyfriend, dex. He’s — he’s your best friend. I get it. I’m about to break his heart. What are you doing? There’s a killer on the loose, and she’s hunting you. I’m not letting you go by yourself. No, no, you can’t come with me. Cam can’t see you. I will stay out of sight, I promise. Look, you almost died tonight, joss. You’re not going anywhere alone. So, um, did you happen to see josslyn at britt’s party? I didn’T. But I told you I had to leave early for a client. Right, yeah. It’s just [Scoffs] I texted her, and I haven’t heard anything back yet. Yeah, but you two are good, right? Yeah, yeah. We’ve just been super busy. Me with soccer, her with volleyball. But now that it’s winter break, we’ll be spending a lot of time together. Once I’m done here, I’m gonna go and do a new year’s do-over. Okay, then what are you waiting for? Go grab her.

[ Coughs ] Please hurry. She’s having an anaphylactic reaction of some kind. Because of the holiday, the closest ambulance is 10 minutes out. But they’ll be here, hmm.

[ Weakly ] I was coming back for you. The swelling. Are you in pain? I wanted more time with all of you. You’ll have more time. You’re just having some sort of immune response. I didn’t want to die alone, so I came back. And now I’m close. You’re not making any sense.

[ Coughs ] Come on, I’ll take you to the hospital. I’ll drive you myself, come on. We — we won’t make it. What do you mean we won’t make it? The hospital is just a few blocks away. I am an excellent driver. Come on. The scratch is from…a hook.

[ Coughs ]

[ Whispers ] No. I’ve been poisoned. You can’t save me. No.

I’ll be out here if you need me. I don’t know how I’m going to do this. Okay. Seize the day. You know what? I’m going to do it. You are. Seize the day. That’s right. Hi, cam. Hey. I was literally just about to go look for you. Um… we need to talk.

[ Laughing ] What? I’m just… oh, I’m just thinking about how horrified you were when you discovered that I was your new [Laughs] Daughter-in-law.

[ Laughs ] Well, come on, now. I mean, you wouldn’t be my first choice, which — oh, who could blame you? You’re his mom. Nikolas doesn’t see it that way. He thinks I overstep. I judge too harshly. Maybe he’s right. I wish that I’d been the kind of mother you are, laura. If I had been able to set aside my anger and my sadness, if I could have been there for kiki — no, ava. Don’t do this to yourself. Really. Look how much you’re there for avery right now. You’re setting a great example for her by not accepting anything less than what you deserve. Thank you. And not just for saying that, but… for always being so kind to me, despite all the bumps on this very tumultuous road. Well, being with you is the happiest I’d ever seen nikolas. Yeah. The fact that it fell apart, well — I know. Just feels like such a failure. Divorce always does. It feels like a death. How are you dealing with that, ava? Vodka helps.

[ Laughs ] And I’m not going to lie, I am mad as hell at your son. And what do you intend to do about that? I should have put the cassadine island plan in motion earlier. We wouldn’t be in this position. Nikolas, stop. That ship has sailed. Esme could be in there right now telling the police where she’s been all this time. Now, do we need to call scott? Should I call my boys and tell them I’m about to be arrested? I won’t let that happen. How? You’ll be in the police van right next to me. I need to make a call. Can you tell me what day it is? What is happening to me? You’re safe. It’s okay. And everything is going to be fine. Do you know where you are? He said this was a hospital. Yeah, so it’s — it’s normal to be confused after a medical event. So why don’t, um, why don’t you start by telling me your name. I can’T. I thought you’d be thrilled we don’t have to pretend anymore. Assuming esme is the hook. Oh, not this ryan chamberlain theory again. Okay, look. Listen, think about it, spencer. Esme is pregnant. Like, pregnant pregnant. Can you really see her out there attacking people, getting the best of someone, like rory or ava? I don’t know. But what I do know is that I’m not going to stand here while esme ruins both of our lives. How’s esme? What’s the update? Is she talking? Is she awake? Yes, esme is awake. What did she say? Did she confess? She’s not saying much of anything. Of course not, she’s probably already lawyered up. I don’t think that’s it. Why isn’t esme talking? She claims she doesn’t remember anything. On your feet. We have to move. I can’T. Try, britta. You have to try. The hospital will have an antidote.

[ Weakly ] No time. I need to tell you.

[ Coughs ] I’m glad I came back. I’m glad I’m with you. In the beginning…

[ Coughs ] …And in the end. This is not the end, do you hear me?

[ Sobbing ] There must be something I can do.

[ Sobbing ] Hold me… like you wanted to hold nathan.

[ Both sobbing ]

Did I ever tell you, britta… you could talk before you could walk.

[ Weakly ] Mnh-mnh. So intelligent. So brave. Into everything.

[ Whimpering ] I remember one evening, I-I-I looked away for two minutes…

[ Groaning ] …And you’d managed to open my briefcase and pull out the contents.

[ Chuckles ] Fine motor skills that should have been beyond you. You’d gotten ahold of a pen and drawn all over yourself. And I was annoyed. I should have kissed you and smiled at how — how silly and wonderful you looked. I should have picked you up and — and kissed you and kissed you. Instead of scrubbing you off and putting you to bed. All those kisses I never gave you. All those nights… I put you to bed, and never once did I rock you to sleep. My precious girl. My schone tochter.

[ Smooches ]

[ Sobbing ] I love you, sweetheart. Mama loves you.

[ Sobbing continues ] Alright, you kids have a good new year’S. Yeah, you, too.

[ Sniffles ] Um, can we sit? Yeah, of course. Please. Joss, what’s — what’s going on?

[ Sobs ] I really don’t want to do this. Do what?

[ Sniffles ] Things have changed between us. And I can’t ignore it anymore. Here. I’ll take that. Thanks. You know, ava, just for the record… I know that you owe nikolas nothing. Oh, less than that. Okay, but if you do think of something that could help him to get out from under victor’s thumb, could you just tell me?

[ Cellphone rings ] Ohh. Your son has impeccable timing. What do you want, nikolas? What you want — not to be implicated in a crime. I’m not sure what this is about.

Esme’s at

general hospital. Does anyone know she’s there?

[ Scoffs ] Pcpd, for starters. They’re questioning her as we speak. We need to get our story straight about what happened that night on the parapet. I’m leaving right now. What happened? Esme prince has been apprehended. This is crazy. Esme’s suffering from memory loss? That is what she’s saying. That is a load of…crap. She’s lying. Okay. I have to go, update the station. What did dante say? I’ll fill you in. Esme claims she doesn’t remember anything. Anything about the last few weeks? It sounds like… anything at all. What the hell is her angle now? Trina: Could esme really not know who she is? No way. This is just the latest in esme’s long line of tricks. But what if it’s not? Believe me, it is.

[ Monitor beeping ] I’m scared. I-I don’t understand. We’re growing apart, cam. Okay, I-I know that I haven’t been around a lot. I’ve just been very busy with soccer and my brothers and work. It’s not that. Alright, well, then w-we spend some more time together. It’s not about physical distance. It’s about me… and what I feel. And that’s changed? Yes. Relationships evolve. Right? They grow. And we have been through so much this — this last year. Yeah. Yeah. And I-I kept telling myself that, too… and that if we cared about each other enough, we can, um, recapture what we used to have. Haven’t we? I-I’m sorry. I’m just a little bit confused right now. Because I thought we did. I thought things were fine. Things aren’t fine, cam! We’ve been struggling. You know this. We’ve talked about this. I know we talked about this, but then we — we had sex. I know. And I thought that it would fix things. But it didn’T. Okay. I just — I think we need to talk about this, okay? Really think this through and then — and then we can figure out a way that we can get back to where we were. No. We can’T. That sounds final. It is. Ohh… I see. You — you didn’t come here to fix things. You came here to break up with me.

I haven’t figured out yetwhere esme prince was when britt westbourne was attacked, but I have her personal belongings. I’ll bring them into the lab to be analyzed. It’s a bag of clothes, mostly, and — and a christmas ornament. See if csi can do something with it. I’ll call you back with any other updates. Yeah. Please tell me that you’re not falling for this. Trina: Oh. Ava! Hey. Is there any news on esme? I heard she’s in with the cops. Esme claims that she doesn’t remember anything. Nothing? Apparently. I’m surprised to see you here. Nikolas called me. Yeah. I thought he would. But if you suspect that esme isn’t the hook, why come? There is no way that esme has amnesia. After everything she pulled. I don’t think she’s faking it. How can you say that? Because. Her best defense against the hook allegations is to say that she’s been held captive at wyndemere this whole time, right? Right. She could send the police there right now. There’s evidence all over the north tower. Telling the truth provides her with an alibi. What’s this about an alibi? So that’s it? We’re done? I get zero say in the matter? I’m trying to be fair, cam. I want both of us to be happy. I am happy! I-I thought you were, too, but clearly I was wrong. God, I’m such an idiot! No, you’re not. I’m just going through life thinking everything is fine. Meanwhile my girlfriend’s miserable? I was never miserable! I could just feel us going in different directions without that same connection that we used to have. And I’m sorry. I’m so sorry! I should have come to you sooner. But I’m so scared. I — cam, the thought of losing you terrifies me. And the thought of staying with me was worse? Josslyn, do you still love me?

[ Exhales sharply ] I will always love you. I’m just not… …in love with you anymore. And I’m so sorry. And I know that this changes things, but… but I just — I really want us — no. Don’t say it. Don’t think for a second that we can be friends after this. But I want to, cam! I want to be friends! Please! How do we do that, joss?! ‘Cause I’m still in love with you. I can’t just go back. Not now. Maybe not ever. Liesl! Liesl, are you alright? I’m alone. I tried to protect them. But I’m still all alone. No, liesl, you’re — you’re not alone. I’m right here. Now, what happened? She said she came back for me. What does that mean? And if she hadn’t come back… who? W-who, liesl?! Liesl, look at me. Who? Who hadn’t come back? My britta. She’s gone, scott. My little girl is gone.

Wondering how esmewill talk her way out of this. Laura, nikolas told me that you two spoke about us. I-I’m sure that was a shock. Um… I’m actually mostly concerned about my grandchild. Well, all of my grandsons. Why are you here? What do you mean? Well, aside from being spencer’s ex-girlfriend, I didn’t think you knew esme all that well. Esme’s actions have affected so many people in port charles. We all just want her to pay for what she’s done. That girl terrorized me. She set my car on fire. She left kiki’s hospital I.D. Next to it. Not to mention what she did to you. How could i not be here?! I don’t think you’ll be as heated when you see her. What does that mean? Here’s the fetal heart monitor you wanted. And I ordered the neuro and O.B. Consults. Tj: Thank you. Fetal heart monitor? Esme’s pregnant. I have to get back to work. Cameron. No. Don’t make this harder than it already is. Good night, joss. Good night. You doing okay? Come on. I’ll take you home.

[ Shouts ] Esme is pregnant? And get this — spencer doesn’t think the baby’s his. Spencer’s right. Spencer, what I believe is irrelevant. Esme needs to go to prison for what she has done, whether she remembers it or not. Ava: Dante! How far along is esme prince? I cannot give you that information. Did tj say whether she’s capable of committing physical violence? That is also privileged information. I cannot give you that, either. Oh, I see. Okay. So a wanted criminal’s right to privacy is greater than the right of safety for the public. What do you want, ava? She’s being held and questioned. Okay? And I heard that she said that she doesn’t remember anything. Just — you better remember to take everything that girl says with a grain of salt! Do you hear me?! I-I think the whole hospital hears you. At best, esme is a conniving liar w-who drugs people and torches cars. And films people without their knowledge. And frames an innocent person for it. At worst, she’s a murderer, responsible for a spree of brutal attacks of which I am a victim. Okay, look, everybody, I get everyone’s concern and interest here. I do. Believe me. But I cannot give you any answers yet.

[ Clears throat ] Ava? Can we talk in private? When did esme conceive? Let’s go somewhere quiet. I’m fine where I am. And I asked you a question. What’s going on? Aren’t you gonna answer your mother? Elizabeth: Ava, now’s not the time. Haven’t you stood up for him enough? The baby that esme is carrying. It’s yours, isn’t it? Isn’t it?! Yes. That’s all I needed to know. Hey, nina. Um, it’s scott. I got some horrible news. Five years ago this month, I lost your brother. And now you’ve left me, too. I can’T. I can’t fathom it. A world without you — your brilliance, your humor. Your utter determination. A world without you,

liebchen… where does that energy go? It — it can’t just disappear. Our time together was far too short. But I am so proud to have been your mutter. To have witnessed the woman you grew up to be. Give nathan a message for me.

[ Whispering indistinctly ] Ohh… godspeed, britta. Until we are all reunited.

On the next “General Hospital” —

[ Dramatic music ]

[ Dramatic music ]

Steffy: I heard what you said, bill, and I can see it in your eyes. The two women you care about most in the world hurt you, rejected you. And along comes sheila because that’s what she does. She senses vulnerability and she preys on it. Sheila is a dangerous psychopath who should never see the light of day again. Thank god you finally realized it.

Sheila: I don’t understand. Why am I here?

Officer: The visitation room? Gee, I wonder.

Sheila: Is he tall, dark and handsome?

Officer: Maybe in his dreams.

[ Buzzer sounding ]

Mike: Of all the gin joints in all the towns.

Sheila: Mike, what are you doing here?

[ Knocking on door ]

Li: How are you on this fabulous day?

Finn: Hey, mom.

Li: I came over as soon as I heard the wonderful news. Sheila carter’s been captured.

Li: I saw the news online and couldn’t believe what I was reading.

Finn: Yeah, it’s true. Sheila’s back in custody.

Li: Thank god. The thought of that woman on the loose, unhinged and desperate? After everything, being locked up behind bars is exactly what she deserves.

Sheila: How’d you get in here to see me?

Mike: I made some friends, I pulled some strings so I could see you face to beautiful face.

[ Sheila chuckling ] So, it finally caught up with you, huh?

Sheila: It’s only temporary. I am not gonna be in here very long.

Steffy: Last night really worried me, that you would even think of turning my mother in for shooting you to keep sheila out of prison. Blackmail finn and me. I didn’t understand why and I– I still don’T. But thankfully, you reconsidered. You called 9-1-1 and now sheila is behind bars where she belongs. I just wanna make sure we’re good. That you’re no longer threatening my mother and you never will again. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Li: It’s such a relief to know that sheila’s not out in the world stalking her next victim. That woman should never walk free. I’ve seen how evil she is.

Finn: I hate to think how terrified you must have been when she found us.

Li: It wasn’t a good night.

[ Li grunting ] Let go! Ah! Like you love finn. Not like his real mother does. No, get off!

[ Car honking ] Back off, you crazy bitch!

[ Crashing ]

[ Li shouting ]

Finn: I’ll never forgive her. Sheila shot my wife, she forced your car off a bridge where it bursts into flames. If she had it her way, you’d both be dead.

Li: Thankfully, bill spencer found me. He saved me. Flew you to monaco so you could reunite with steffy, and now he’s done another wonderful thing. Bill’s responsible for sheila being back in custody.

Mike: What did you mean when– when you said you wouldn’t be staying here that long.

Sheila: It’s true.

Mike: I wouldn’t recommend a breakout on your own. Prison officials will be watching you. They still have egg on their face from the last time you escaped, with my help, I might add.

Sheila: I remember that. Don’t worry, I will take your advice. I won’t try to escape. I won’t have to.

Mike: So, what are you going to do? Flash that beautiful smile at some other guard as you just sail out the door? Hell, it’d probably work. Aim it at me, you can have anything I got.

Sheila: Oh, and what exactly would that be?

Mike: Well, unfortunately, not much at the moment.

Sheila: Yeah, but your heart is in the right place, mike.

Mike: I’m sorry you ended up back here, but I’m happy for me. It’s no secret that I love you, sheila. Now, we’re finally together, sort of.

Sheila: And well, enjoy it while you can because my days in this hellhole are numbered.

Steffy: I’m not trying to justify what my mother did, but there were extenuating circumstances back then. My mom wasn’t in her right mind. We both know why. Look, I don’t wanna rehash all of that. That’s a night I’m always gonna regret. Right now, I need to focus on my mother and the extreme way she reacted.

Bill: By putting a bullet in my back.

Steffy: You said you were going to stay quiet.

Bill: And I have.

Steffy: I just wanna make sure that you intend to keep your word. My mother is not like sheila. She came here to confront you about me unarmed. She shot you with your own gun in a spontaneous moment. You know my mother. She is a good person, she helps people. She tried to help sheila. She saved her life.

Bill: Sheila did the same for taylor.

Steffy: Are you kidding? My mom was dangling off a side of a roof so she could stop sheila from jumping! My mom tried to help a woman who is beyond it! Maybe that was what you were trying to do last night. You were trying to help her, you were trying to defend her. I don’t know and I– I– I don’T. I don’t want to know, but bill, think about all the people she’s hurt. The people you care about. Sheila belongs behind bars and she should never be free again.

Bill: I hear what you’re saying.

Steffy: You do?

Bill: Yes, I do.

Music (“I swear”) plays

Li: The news said sheila was at bill’s house when she was arrested. What was she doing there?

Finn: Well, it seems like she’s got some kind of history with everyone we know.

Li: Oh, thank you. Not that it matters. The only thing that matters is that she’s finally back in custody. No longer a threat to you, steffy or my precious grandson.

Finn: Well, if there’s anyone who should never see the light of day again, it’s sheila.

Li: She’s out of your life, son. You don’t have to think about sheila again.

Finn: I hope not.

Li: I get it. She’s a criminal mastermind. It’s hard to believe someone like that can be stopped. I still have nightmares about what she did to you, not knowing if you survived. Seeing you in that hospital bed so far from me, all I could do was keep your body alive and pray you come back. Then suddenly, sheila’s there.

Finn: I’m so sorry, mom.

Li: It’s all right. It’s okay. I’m just so grateful you’re here. You’re alive, strong, brave and beautiful. Evil does not get to triumph.

Mike: Oh, sheila, sheila, sheila. Take it from somebody who knows, the sooner you accept your fate, the better off you’ll be.

Guard: Hey, mike. Wrap it up. I can’t get into trouble.

Mike: Yeah, yeah. Look, I’ll be thinking of you in my cell. Think of me too. I know this isn’t what you would’ve chosen, but I’m all you got. We’re finally together. Maybe for the rest of our lives.

Sheila: I– I hate to disappoint you again, but that’s not gonna happen. You see, I’ve got connections of my own.

Steffy: You’re actually hearing me.

Bill: I am.

Steffy: Sheila is dangerous. She belongs in jail, not my mom.

Bill: I hear what you’re saying loud and clear, and you’re right about all of it. Everything she’s done in the past. She’s hurt so many people, destroyed so many lives.

Steffy: Yes. Yes. You don’t know the enormous relief it is to hear you say that. So, we agree? Sheila will pay for her crimes and you won’t say anything about my mother shooting you.

Bill: Well, here’s the thing. I’ve hurt people too, only to be filled with remorse after the fact, once I– once I realized all the thoughtless damage that I’d done. That’s why I understand sheila. That’s why I know that no matter what I do, I could never hurt her.

Steffy: Wait, bill. What are you saying? Overactive bladder? I’ve been there.

[ Sheila sighing ]

Sheila: Why am I still here?

Officer: We keeping you from something?

Sheila: Well, you’re normally in such a rush to get me back to my luxury accommodations.

Officer: You’re popular today. You got another visitor.

Sheila: Did they give you a name?

Officer: I’m not your assistant.

Sheila: Are you always this grumpy? Well, isn’t this a delightful surprise?

Li: Couldn’t pass up the opportunity to see you in your natural habitat. Blue isn’t your color, by the way.

Sheila: Your timing is excellent, li. I was starting to get lonely.

Li: Get used to it. You’re going to be very lonely here for the rest of your miserable life.

Sheila: You’re so confident.

Li: I am. You may have escaped once with the help of your partner in crime, but mike guthrie is behind bars too. There’s no way out this time, sheila. And no one’s happier about it than me.

Sheila: Oh, I think steffy might be enjoying the moment as well.

Li: Yeah, well, finn’s pretty thrilled too, now that you’re no longer a threat to his wife and son. We’ve all been waiting for this day.

Sheila: And what day is that, li?

Li: Judgement day. Where you will finally be held accountable for your crimes. Evil never triumphs. You shot my son.

Sheila: Our son.

Li: That just makes it more despicable, doesn’t it? You shot steffy, ran me off the road and almost killed me, so you bet I had to come feast my eyes on this glorious sight. Sheila carter behind bars, where you’re going to be for the rest of your life.

[ Sheila laughing ]

Steffy: What is happening, bill? You told me I was right about sheila, that you heard me.

Bill: I do hear you. And you’re right. But there’s one very important thing you’re not taking into account. And that is the… the emptiness in my heart. I’ve somehow managed to hurt every woman that I have ever loved. I need someone who can handle me. A woman I can’t hurt. A woman who will stay, like sheila.

Steffy: Bill, what is wrong with you? You are talking crazy right now. I get that you’re hurting. I get that you feel rejected by katie and by brooke. You feel lonely and misunderstood, but for god’s sake, bill, sheila is not the answer.

Bill: Yes, she is.

Steffy: No, she’s not! Are you kidding? A– are you kidding right now? That you would even entertain the thought of turning my mother in for shooting you in favor of sheila! You consider being with that woman? I need you to assure me that my mother is safe. That I have your word that you are not going to say anything to anyone, especially the police. Bill. Bill, please. Please do not do this. She is going to use you. She’ll use you and move on to her next victim.

Sheila: And don’t forget what this represents to you. The power. I love you so much, bill.

[ Bill sniffling ]

Bill: I will not let sheila spend the rest of her life in prison. If you and finn press charges, taylor pays for her crime. Sheila’s life for your mother’s freedom. That is my deal.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Scoffs ]

[ Waves crashing ] So much for concierge service.

[ Shivers ]

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Scoffs ] 10 minutes out?

[ Sighs ]

[ Shivers ] 10 minutes until I say goodbye to port charles. Maxie: Well, that’s it. Mostly everyone went to go see the fireworks at pier 47. That was a good party, if I do say so myself. No broken glass, broken furniture — maybe a broken nail or two. Since britt waited a lifetime to have a birthday party, at least she had a good one. Yes, maxie. It was a wonderful party. I’m sure britta cherished every moment. Yeah, she seemed to. That’s why I’m kinda surprised she cut out early.

[ Scoffs ] I knew I was late, but I didn’t think I was that late. Now, I’m not complaining, but why are we back out here again? Weren’t you cold before? The more pda, the better, right? Again, I am not complaining.

[ Buoy bell ringing, waves crashing ] We were convincing with our act, weren’t we? Mm-hmm. Do you think people suspect we’re more than friends? Well, maxie certainly does. Did you see how she looked at us?

[ Chuckles ] And I saw a few double takes when we went inside. Me too. And the G.H. Crew was here. And my mom says they love to gossip, so I’m sure somebody will be spilling the tea about trina robinson getting close with the infamous, recently jailed spencer cassadine.

[ Laughs ] Along with that photo that ran in the invader of the two of us with my grandmother. Right. Yeah. The post you made of us from the party. And before you know it, people will think we’re a couple. Well, our interest is in a party of one — esme. This is why esme kept begging for a tree. She didn’t care about christmas. She just wanted a diversion so she could get away. Get away? Yeah. Esme set a fire. When I ran to put it out, she took off. Nikolas, where is she now? I have no idea. Mmm. Still too warm? No, it’s hot. Oh. Hence the name hot cocoa and not warm cocoa. Well, why couldn’t we have just gone back to our place and had warm cocoa in our kitchen?

[ Breathes sharply ] Uh, I could say that we were out of whipped cream or the cocoa packets we have is full of chemicals and really old. Or that, here at kelly’s, the new year’s double chocolate peppermint cocoa is the best. Hm. Um, or I just could be honest and tell you that I didn’t want to ring in the new year doing…dishes. Okay, just so you know, I didn’t want you ringing in the new year doing dishes, either. But I did want a — an excuse to get us back to the house so we could ring in the new year doing…other things. Why didn’t you say so… to begin with? Well, because, I don’t know. Just didn’t wanna — oh, what’s up, man? You got the night off? Happy new year. Same to you guys. How’s the — how’s the job — working for my father?

[ Grunts ]

[ Groans ]

[ Suspenseful music playing ] Oh! [ Breathing heavily ]

[ Gasps ]

Things are fine. That’s good. No, uh, residual friction? Why would there be? Dante.

[ Sighs ] Look, dex, I saw your wrists. They healed up? I’m good. Good. So, I know how you got those bruises. And michael was very specific when he told me what happened. Now, when I questioned you about it, you said that sonny wasn’t responsible. I just — do you want to change your story? ‘Cause there is time to do that if you want to. Sorry. Can’t help you. Guess I’ll skip the hot chocolate. Dante. Are you trying to build a case against your father? Oh, no! Man! I missed it.

[ Sighs ] That’s what happens when you show up later than late. I’m sorry. I thought I could kinda sneak in at the end of britt’s party. Looks like a good time was had by all. That it was. You and carly really missed out. Sorry, wh– what was that about carly? Like you, carly also arrived too late for the festivities. I’m surprised you didn’t run into her on the deck with the pier. Oh, yeah, no, I… can’t really speak for carly, but I was working. I was on a call with a couple of reporters trying to track down an important lead. Well, shame on you for working on new year’s eve.

[ Chuckles ] I know. I know. I really did, uh, intend to be here to celebrate britt. I wanted to — I wanted to tell her how much I admire her. She made a crucial difference when we were trying to escape cassadine island.

[ Breathes deeply ] She still here by any chance? She left. She left. Well, I’m sorry I missed her. But you gotta be so proud, liesl. You raised a brave and gallant lady.

[ Fireworks exploding ] Oh! I love fireworks.

[ Chuckles ] But not if they delay my boat.

[ Fireworks exploding ] Liesl: When you falter, I will be there to see that you soar again. That is my promise to you. You will not go through this alone. I will be by your side through everything.

Ich liebe dich, mama.

[ Chuckles ] I love you, too,

mein britta.

[ Air horn blowing ]

[ Fireworks exploding ] Wow. You can still see the fireworks from here. Maybe not up close, but still. Lucky us… we got the deck all to ourselves.

[ Fireworks exploding ] It’s too bad that britt’s not here. She was really having a blast in there, huh?

[ Chuckles ] I mean, how could she not? That party was fun. It was right up britt’s alley. It was outrageous. It was over the top. No apologies.

[ Chuckles ] I can see why you guys like each other. Yeah. When my father and britt were engaged, I was thrilled.

[ Fireworks exploding ] Britt seemed to me like the perfect stepmother. She wasn’t motherly by any stretch of the imagination, more like the world’s coolest friend. But she never talked down to me. She got me. She still does.

[ Buoy bell ringing, waves crashing ] Mm. In a way, I guess I’m glad that my father and britt never made it to the altar.

[ Fireworks exploding ] It would have hurt too much when…they inevitably broke up. You never expect anything good to last, do you? How can you have no idea where esme is? Because esme made her way to the turret and she jumped! She jumped? Yeah! She went into the water! And she did this to herself? She just dove off the turret? Elizabeth, I did not push esme. She spread her arms, and she pitched herself backward. She went into the water. I went down to the shore, and I searched. There’s no sign of her. I don’t know if esme drowned. Or — or she may be hiding on the island. Or — or maybe she made her way to the mainland. I don’t see how that’s possible. Well, she’s done it before and survived. Well, she wasn’t in her third trimester, and it wasn’t january. The harbor is freezing. I don’t see how she could possibly survive this.

[ Grunting ]

[ Gasping, panting ] Help! Help! Help!

[ Grunting continues ] Help!

[ Both shouting ] Oh. Oh. Oh!

[ Grunting ]

[ Groans ]

[ Shouts ]

[ Breathing heavily ] Back off, bitch!

[ Gasps ]

Hey. Hey. I got your text. Why are we here?

[ Whispers ] And what if someone sees us? No, no, no, we’re safe. Nobody’s around. I couldn’t ring in the new year without seeing you.

[ Breathes sharply ] Seeing you is the perfect way to celebrate. Seeing? Come on, we can do better than that. You know, josslyn wasn’t completely wrong about my father. I know, but joss has her reasons to be angry with sonny. They shouldn’t be your reasons. Right. And they’re not. They’re not. But I-I am struggling with knowing what he did to dex. It’s — it’s put a spotlight on the conflict I have around my father. That’s a fine line. I mean, you’ve been walking it for years. Why would you change your mind now? I-I look at chase, and I see how badly he wants his job back. And I remember being like that. You know? I feel for him. I wanted to be a cop long before I found out sonny was my father. I-I believed in the job. You know, I wanted to help people. I wanted to protect people. And, yeah, sure, there’s all sorts of crimes and criminals and mitigating circumstances and intolerance and injustice. But I — I feel like I’ve — I’ve found a way to use my discretion when I can, as long as it’s within the bounds of the law. I know you do. And that’s one of the reasons why I admire and respect you — because you are solid, dante. You define what it means to be a good cop. You’re strong. You’re fair. You’re compassionate. You’re not a bully with a badge. You just want justice. That’s what I’m wrestling with right now. Like, what does — what does justice look like when it’s applied to my father? It was very kind of drew to stop by. [ Chuckles ] I appreciated the things he said about my britta. He’s a good man and a brave one. He and britta stood up to peter on cassadine island. They saved my life. I try not to think about peter and the time I spent with him. Or all the harm he caused. But he did give me bailey lou. She is a joy and a miracle. And I can’t regret that. I understand. I curse the day I laid eyes on cesar faison. But I can’t regret the children I had with him. Nathan and britta were my saving grace. Thank you for giving my daughter this party. Britt threw herself the party. Brad and I — we just helped. I never realized she longed for a birthday party as a child. I wish I’d made better choices as a mother, found a way to keep nathan with me, given britta the love and support she deserved. I squandered so much time. And now nathan’s gone and britta’S… what about britt?

[ Shouting ]

[ Grunts ] Run!

[ Grunting ]

[ Metal clanking ]

[ Fabric tears ]

[ Shouts ]

[ Groans ]

[ Gasping, coughing ]

[ Groans ]

[ Screaming, struggling ]

[ Gunshot ] Aah!

[ Panting ] Shoot her again!

What is wrong with you?! Why didn’t you shoot her again? You okay? Did she hurt you? I’m fine, thanks.

[ Groans ]

[ Weakly ] Britt, you saved my life.

[ Gasping ] I couldn’t have gotten away if you hadn’t showed up. She would have killed me. Thank you. You’re welcome. But let’s face it — we’d both be toast if it wasn’t for this guy.

[ Breathing sharply ] Okay, I yelled at you, but I am so grateful. I just wish you would have done the world a favor and put an end to that psycho. It wasn’t a clear shot. I didn’t want to risk hitting you. Well, thanks for that.

[ Sighs ] Guess we should call the cops. Wait. Not so fast. S-sonny’s a-a-a criminal by profession. Yet he walks around with this air of respectability, importing coffee and funding hospital wings, and we all walk around like we don’t know who he really is, which is a mob boss. And it’s not like he’s some desperate criminal who’s gotta rob a store to survive. He chose this life. Yeah, sure, maybe — maybe circumstances kind of threw him into the criminal world in the first place, but — but he’s older, he’s wiser, he could have cut out and — and gone legit years ago, and he chose not to. Okay, it’s not only about greed, power, and ambition. Sonny can’t just resign from organized crime, dante. You know that. And, also, sonny fills some sort of a void. I think he’s a better alternative than anyone who might take his place.

[ Sighs ] And many have tried. And I would go after them and I would take them down just like I was eager to take down sonny when I first got to town. I understand where michael’s coming from right now — I really do, but over the years, you know, getting to know sonny, my father, I’ve come to love him and the — I can’t even fathom the thought — it keeps me up at night — of having to build a case against him one day. But isn’t that injustice? Isn’t that the definition of it — applying the law to some and not others? Isn’t that a betrayal to my oath, to my badge, to everything I supposedly stand for? Britta and I are in a much better place now. But for ye ars, I was –I was harsh and critical. I didn’t make her feel valued for the amazing person she is. We only ge t one childhood,and britta’s could have been…

…should have been better than it was. That’s my great shame. But that’s also in the past. I see the love you two share now. That’s what important, liesl.

[ Breathes deeply ] I’m so glad nathan married you. And I’m thankful my grandson has you as his mother. You’re everything to your children that I wasn’t to mine — warm, supportive, loving. You value them for who they are, not what they can achieve. Maybe it’s because it took me a while to get myself together. Of course I want to give my kids the world… but I want them to figure out how they define success. I want them to feel fulfilled and have purpose in their life. They have to figure out how to do that. All I can do is support them through their successes and failures and love them as they find their own path in life. Nathan would be so proud to hear you say that. I can see why he loved you so much.

[ Buoy bell ringing, waves crashing ] Do you remember where you were a year ago tonight? On the bridge with you. Yeah, I remember.

[ Chuckles ] I don’t think I could ever forget. That’s when — that’s when everything started to turn for me. How so? Well, you know, coming back was harder for me than I thought. Everywhere I looked was just a reminder of what I’d lost, what I couldn’t get back. But then…

[Inhales deeply] I wound up on the bridge, and there you were. Mm. Feeling pretty miserable, if I recall. Mm. For good reason. But talking to you that night — it was just so easy. And it was…so real. And I could… relax, be myself. And when I was looking into those gorgeous blue eyes, I saw that a future was possible. A positive future with hope and with some laughter, and that’s when I stopped being angry and I started looking forward. And then now, a year later, I’m still looking ahead. I still see such a positive future… …in those same beautiful eyes. Elizabeth: This is all our fault. We pushed esme to the brink. I wasn’t gonna kill her. She didn’t know that! I have no idea what you said to her, but obviously she was so desperate to escape, she was willing to risk her own life and the life of her child. Oh, my god, I have no idea all the names of the crimes I’ve committed. There’s kidnapping and false imprisonment and aiding and abetting and assaulting. Elizabeth! Elizabeth, stop. Hey. The crimes don’t matter because no one is ever going to know. I know that I have lived a life of privilege. I have had every material thing just for the asking. So I’m not expecting you to feel sorry for me. Don’t worry. I don’T.

[ Buoy bell ringing, waves crashing ] I’m not making excuses, trina. But my mother died the day I was born, and my father has been inconsistent. People have come and gone from my life, people who I’ve cared about and who I wanted to count on. And the only person who has stayed has been my grandmother, and she has been nothing short of wonderful. But aside from her, nothing good has ever really lasted. Just because it’s been that way up to this point doesn’t mean it’s gonna be that way forever. You could still find something good to hold on to.

[ Breathes sharply ] Well, when you say it… I almost believe it.

[ Door opens ]

[ Woman shivering ]

[ Shivering violently ]

Esme, where have you been? What happened?

[ Shivering ]

[ Groans ] Um… she’s freezing, but she has a pulse. Um… yeah, she’s breathing. She’s pregnant! Her lips are blue. I think that she has hypothermia. We need to get her to a hospital. Okay.

[ Grunts ]

[ Groans ] I still love nathan. I do n’t bring him up oftenbecause it hurts so much. But I think about him all the time. Nathan was such a calm presence. He was never jealous or vindictive or manipulative. He gave me such a feeling of security, one that I — I haven’t felt since. And you miss it? I miss him. Maybe that’s why I tried to rush to fill that void — you know, with peter and then with austin. Not that you could ever compare the two of them. I’m sorry you were let down, maxie. Peter presented himself as a good man, and you wanted to believe it. Austin seems like a good man, but he’s just not the man for you. And I hope you know, if I ever do find the right man… …t hat doesn’t mean I willever forget about nathan. I know, maxie.

[ Breathes sharply ] I am so grateful you and I are still in each other’s lives. And I, too, see nathan living on in our dreams.

[ Laughs ] Will you please stop beating yourself up over britt? All parents make mistakes, liesl. And you obviously [Sniffles] Made some good choices because britt is awesome. And I see how much she loves her mom. Have you ever covered upa crime that sonny’s committed? No. Never. I-I mean, maybe I’ve…

[Breathes deeply] Avoided asking certain questions I didn’t want to know the answers to. And the department, they — they know that cops are human and have conflicts of interest, right? Of course. Of course. And every cop has to bow out of a case if they know they do have a conflict. Have you ever done that? Every time when it’s a direct conflict of interest, yeah. So you’ve done your duty, and you will continue to do so. You’re not dishonoring your badge by [Breathes deeply] Loving your father. And the fact that you are worried about this right now just goes to show me what a decent and responsible cop you are. Thank you. No, I mean that. You have a way ofcanceling out the noise… …and helping me see things clearly. It’s a gift.

[ Chuckles ] One of many. Yeah.

[ Cellphone ringing ] I-I’m supposed to be off the clock. No, no, no. It must be important. Take it.

[ Ringing continues ] Falconeri.

[ Sighs ] Are you the one who reported a hook sighting? I didn’t just sight her, I fought off that maniac. Ma’am, we’ve had at least 10 hook sightings tonight. Stories in the invader have people jumping at shadows, you know? No shadow drops that. Nor did a shadow ruin my favorite bag!

[ Police radio chatter ] Notify csi and get them down asap. And secure the area. We can’t have any evidence compromised. Get some more uniforms here. Keep any strollers away, all right? This is a crime scene. Ma’am, what’s your name? Dr. Britt westbourne. Dr. Westbourne, can you tell me what happened? I was on my way back to the haunted star when I heard the sounds of a struggle. When I got here, I saw the hook was about to stab this young woman, so I whacked her with my bag. Wait, s-so there was another victim? Where is she? I don’t know what happened to her. By the time I drove the hook off, she was gone. I don’t know about you, but I could use a drink. Scotch okay? Yeah, sure.

[ Bottle opens, liquid pouring ] Ow.

[ Bottle thumps lightly ]

[ Sighs ] Thank you.

[ Breathes sharply ] Never had scotch before, have you? First time for everything.

[ Sighs ] Take it easy. You’re still coming down off the adrenaline. You saved britt’s life. And mine. I owe you. You don’t owe me anything, joss. God, I can’t believe you had britt cover for us. That maniac needs to be captured. We should have stayed and given the police a statement. Okay, and told them what? Can you identify the hook? No. They were wearing a mask. Probably because diane had seen their face. Right, and I only saw her from the side. So what good would our statements have been? Britt can stay and tell them about the mask. Britt didn’t shoot the hook. You did. Right. I did, with a gun sonny gave me.

No one knew esme was here except for us and demetrius. I’ll send demetrius back to greece immediately. It’ll be like none of this ever happened. I don’t know how I let myself get pulled into this. I agreed to take care of esme, and I didn’T. And I didn’t take her desperation seriously. And because of it, this happened. And now you want me to cover it up and pretend like none of this happened? It’s — no. No, nikolas. No more.[ Cellphone rings ] It’s the only way, elizabeth. Spencer. Hey. Sorry to bother you. Um… I thought you should know esme is back. She’s in custody.

Well, actually, she’s at G.H.,

Being treated for hypothermia,

but the police

have been notified,

and they’re on their way. Carly: You know what I remember about that night? Hm? I remember that it was the first time in months that I wasn’t hurting.

[ Buoy bell ringing, waves crashing ] That I wasn’t choking on anger or disappointment or everything that had happened with sonny. And I remember how good it was to see your smile and to hear your laugh. And I was so shocked that I was laughing, too, because…

[Sighs] …I never thought I was gonna be happy again. You know? Sonny broke my heart last year, and he broke what was left of our marriage, and he almost broke me. But I was able to come back to myself. And you were a large part of that. So, it all started last new year’s eve on that bridge. And I could never imaginethat we would be here right now. Hm. But I get to do now what I couldn’t do then. And what’s that? This. The police should know to be on the lookout for a woman with a gunshot wound in her arm. I don’t even know if I hit her, but if I did, she’s not gonna go to the hospital for treatment.

[ Sighs ] No, I guess not. Look… there is nothing we can tell the cops that will help them catch the hook. But they will confiscate the gun for which I have no license. And it can’t be traced as far as I know, which is also suspicious. What is that? The shell casing. I’m pretty sure from the trajectory that the bullet either went into the hook or into the water. So, either way, there’s no evidence a gun was ever fired. Nothing that can be tracked back to sonny. Right. You got to protect the boss at all costs. Because I don’t need problems with sonny, especially if it gets between you and me.

Happy birthday to you

happy birthday to you

happy birthday, dearest daughter

happy birthday to me

[ Noisemaker blows ]

Schatzi! You came back!

[ Both laugh ]

[ Buoy bell ringing, waves crashing ] I brought champagne. I can think of a lot of things I want right now. And champagne is one of them, just not at the top of the list. I’d like to see that list. I would really love to show you, but, you know, if we were somewhere…

[ Cork pops ] …More private and, um, heated…

[ Breathes sharply ] Let’s make that a new year’s resolution. Really? You know, new year’s resolutions are meant to be broken, but you’re really good at keeping promises, and I’m learning, so, okay.

[ Chuckles ] Let’s promise each other to meet somewhere private and warm… mm. Mm-hmm. …And really, really soon. That’s a promise. In the meantime…

[ Breathes sharply ] …To celebrating new year’S… mm. …You and me together — last year, this year, and many, many more to come.

[ Glasses clink ] Sam! Hey! Hey. How — mind if I join you? I’m waiting for my rideshare, but they can’t pick me up for another half an hour. Oh, congratulations. Mine is 45 minutes out. So I think you’ve got me beat by like 15 minutes. Oh, well, cancel. You can share mine. Let me guess — you and dante were celebrating, and he got called into work. Mm. The price of loving a dedicated cop. The baby’s not mine. I’m sure.

[ Sighs ] Okay. I wonder who the father could be. Hey, trina, spencer, you guys found esme prince, yeah?

[ Elevator bell dings ] Do you want to tell me what happened? Well, she found us. We were on the deck of the haunted star. Britt’s party had ended, and we were still hanging out and talking. And then we heard someone approaching. And then we looked up, and esme was standing there, soaking wet. Did she said anything? I mean, she just looked at us and passed out. How did you guys know to come down here? I called. Um… esme had attacked elizabeth a few weeks ago, and I thought that she should know that she didn’t have to worry anymore. What about you, nikolas? Elizabeth and I were together when she got the call. And I wanted to be here for my son.

[ Door opens, closes ] Hey, doctor,I’m detective falconeri. Can you tell me about esme prince’s condition? Miss prince is being treated for hypothermia. Otherwise, there are no signs of injury. She’s resting comfortably and should wake up any time. Okay, she’s a person of interest in an investigation. Can I see her, please? Certainly. Want to get something to drink? Yeah, maybe you should go with trina. I’ll text you if there’s any changes. I’d like to believe that you’re here out of concern for me, but I know that you always have an ulterior motive. So what is it? This is everything she had with her.

[ Monitor beeping ] She had this with her? Must have. We took everything off her and bagged it. It’s standard protocol. Thanks.

[ Beeping continues ]

[ Dramatic music plays ]

[ Door closes ] Miss prince.

[ Beeping continues ] Miss prince. Hi. I’m detective falconeri. We’ve met before. Can you tell me what happened to you?

[ Breathes shakily ] Sonny said I could guard you, but… other than that, I can’t go near you. And you’ll do everything sonny says. I’ll carry a gun for sonny. I’ll follow his orders when it comes to business. But…what’s happening between you and me is…personal. Well, that’s not the way you’ve been acting. I was trying to cover for you. Isn’t that what you wanted?

[ Sighs ] I thought so.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ] But I don’t know anymore. I mean, I could ha ve diedtonight if it wasn’t for britt. And you. And it’s just like you’re always there. When I got to the docks and you were on the ground, I…

[ Breathes deeply ] …Almost lost it. I thought you were wounded. I prayed you weren’t dying. I’m right here. I was afraid I’d never get to do this again. Do you…? Yes. We went down we went down with our heads down with our heads down we went down we went down to the ground oh, we tried, oh ooh-ooh-ooh eyes open, but I can’t see I’m walking toward you you pull me in your arms and fears go down

[ Breath ing heavily ]

[ Suspenseful music plays ] Aah! Damn.

[ Groans ]

[ Breathing heavily ] By the time my ride came…

[Sniffles] …I realized my reasons for leaving were less important than my reasons for staying.

[ Sniffles ] Especially… since my mutter is here.

[ Breathes deeply ] I am, and I always will be. No matter what. I will drink to that. Should we have a toast?

[ Chuckles ] To…my birthday. To the new year.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Breathes deeply ] And to us — mother and daughter.

Prost.

[ Chuckles ] Take off your coat and stay awhile, hm?

[ Grunts softly, sniffles ]

[ Coughs, clears throat ]

[ Cough hoarsely, sniffles ] Britta… your dress is torn. Are you bleeding?!

[ Dramatic music plays ] Oh…

[ Sighs weakly ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

, good looking. Stephanie,

what are you doing here? I’m sure you remember how Chad interrupted us on Christmas, so I’m here for my rain check.

This time I came from here.

Wow. No wreath of condoms.

You came very prepared. Are you kidding me? Winter Green.

Don’t you have any other flavors?

Hey, I was just, uh, slept your voicemail. I’m, I’m gonna take a personal day. Taking the kids ice skating. Oh, well, I’m not here about work. I come bearing gifts for Thomas and. and they were so sweet to get me that cd. I wanted to bring them a little something in return. Mm-hmm. , that’s, that’s very nice. Come in.

Are they upstairs or, uh, yeah. Um, I’m gonna get them in a second. I, I’ve actually been wanting to ask you a question. Hmm. Shoot. Did I ruin your Christmas? Yeah. Christmas Didn’t, um, exactly turn out the way that I planned. Yeah, I, I know I said I’d be back in LA right after the holidays, but I, I’m dealing with some stuff.

Yep. Uh, , listen, I’m aware there’s work to do. I’ll, I’ll be on a plane as soon as I can. Okay. Talk soon.

This is nice. Will Sonny be joining us? No. No, he just went out.

Ooh. Someone’s in a good mood. I am, I am. I was just looking at real estate listings and I think I found a lovely, reasonably priced department that might work for Sarah Sander.

Well, what’s wrong? Uh, Maggie. There’s something you need to know about Xander and the company that he supposedly worked for. Supposedly, yeah. The, uh, pharmaceutical startup, uh, rednecks is a fake, it’s actually Xander. Spell backwards. What? There was no company, no job opening for a vice president in charge of sales.

Zander made the whole thing up. He lied to Sarah by getting a job there. That’s not all he lied about.

Zander z

Zand, it’s me. Are you in there?

Oh my God. Sandra, you all right? Oh yeah. I’m great. Oh, top of the world. Look at me. I’ve been phoning you. You didn’t answer your phone on your phoning and phoning. I thought you were hurt or, or even worse. Oh, worse. Definitely worse. Yeah. I can’t stop, think. What a worthless human being. I am a wretched loser, lying, dirtbag.

Sick. Right? Get up more. Four. What’s the point? The point is, you are not gonna self-flagellate any longer. You’re gonna get up and you’re gonna dust yourself off. Come on. I can’t Ah, can’t I start all over again? Gwe. Oh, how bloody, yes. Course you can. Come on you. And you will. Up you go. That’s it. Now that is an order Zander cook, and you know better than to find me

like Sands through the hourglass. So on the days of our lives,

I will never forgive Xander for this. Well, hang on. So Red Max doesn’t exist. Gwen created a website employment contract. The. Gwen, she claims she was doing Xander, a solid, helping him keep Sarah from finding out he wasn’t working. I am so confused. I felt that Xander had the job and then he decided to quit because his boss wanted him to do something unethical.

Xander made that up too. And when I offered to sue redneck for wrongful termination, Gwen gave me a fake c e o name, fake email address. Well, and when I saw rednecks written on the file cover, I put two and two. Okay, so then it looks like I’m the last one to know about this, uh, elaborate employment. Bruce

Sarah Sweetheart. There, there seems to be a reasonable explanation. Reasonable. Well, look, it sounds to me like Xander went to extremes to convince you that he had a job because he, he was feeling. , you know? Awful. And because he wasn’t able to provide for you or to, to pull his own weight, huh? This is about so much more than a stupid fake job.

They had a job, he just couldn’t tell us what it was because his boss was Ava Vitali. What? That can’t be. I wish to God it wasn’t. You were right the first time. The kidnapper was Xander.

Look,

Claire, eat this. No, come on, eat it now. Please.

There you are. Feel better. No, but that’s because you are mired and self hatred. You’re constantly bloody beating up on yourself. And what? What’s that gonna. What does anything do when the, the one that you love no longer wants anything to do with you Quinn? Hmm. That’s funny cause I’ve asked myself that question many a time and here’s what I’ve said to answer it.

Would you like to hear it? We are given this gift of life. Oh. For such a short time, and no matter how. Or disappointed or devastated you might be by all the horrible, rotten things that happen to us in life. You always have to remember to keep your sunny sights up and look forward to a better future. You should drive yourself, help burn.

Yeah. You know, I may just do that actually, and I might call it how to help a good friend out of a miserable funk, even when said friend is determined to stay in a miserable funk. How can I not stay in a miserable funk? Of course, there are dozens of times, but a message after message begging you to call me back so I can explain.

There’s no response, none. It’s like I can no longer exist. We don’t exist over. No, no, not necessarily. You were there when Sarah said she never wanted to see me. I would. I would listen less to what she says and more to what she’s done. And there you’ll find your silver line here.

Did you ruin my Christmas with Alex? You guys had the whole place to yourself and then I stuck around until like two in the morning playing video games. Did I ruin your plans with him?

Where they’re, hi. Oh, it’s so good to see you both. Daddy didn’t tell us you were coming. Oh, well he didn’t know. I wanted to tell you guys how much I loved my cd and maybe you can open these when you get home from ice skating with your dad. Can you come with us? Don’t these so much time. Oh, please, please, please stand.

Wow. It looks like I’m more popular around here than I thought.

What the hell are you doing in my room? Waking you from a very hot dream, apparently. Yeah. Thank you for ruining it. I’m doing my toothpaste. I need Don’t be so stingy. I just want one little squirt. Oh my God. Get it back and get out. Can you at least tell me where I could find a. Less gastly flavor than winter green.

Why don’t you ask the guy who asked you to move in here, God knows why. Well, son’s out and I couldn’t find any in his bathroom. Can do. Try Victor, right? He’d kill me. Like I said, try Victor. Oh, come on Alex. I can’t start the day without fresh breath. Where did my brother go to try to smooth things over with his crybaby husband about me living here?

I think they’re gonna kiss and make up. Definitely as long as he agrees to kick you out on your ass.

How can we, can we ca that depends. Where’s Leo? He’s at my uncle’s house where I left him. You mean where he is staying Still will nope. Nothing else to say. Will please.

Silver lining it. You’re joking, aren’t you? Hear me out. Where? Come on. Proceed. I want to hear all about what’s so great about my wife ignoring them all ears. Mm-hmm. . I’m waiting. Right. Lander, did you spend the night in jail? Did an army of police turn up and arrest you for. Oh, not yet. I said then come on man.

If it hasn’t happened, it’s not gonna, it means that Sarah hasn’t told the cops or anyone else. You don’t think she went straight to Bonnie and Justin? No, I don’t. Cause he would’ve been arrested and I haven’t heard anything from Jack. So, see. Let’s hope yet because that means Sarah obviously decided to keep what you did to herself.

So Xander admitted he was working for Ava Batali. Somehow she knew that he was having financial problems and she used that to get him to put on the clown mask, kidnap Susan, and collect some of the ransom as a paid, my God. And does it surprise? Who he turned to when he needed help covering his tracks.

Cause that’s right folks. None other than the Master of Deception herself. Miss Gwen, risk check. So are you saying that Zander was cheating on you? Honestly, I don’t know. I don’t know, mom, I, I don’t put anything past him at this point. I mean, it’s not like he has a good moral compass, but with him being a kidnapper, but, but that, that doesn’t make any sense.

Seriously. It doesn’t, I mean, he. Was snatched up by that muscle bound clown, same as me, cuz it’s, it’s kind of impossible that kidnapper had to be somebody else.

And then after that, Wilhelmina just stormed out such a drama queen. Well, you don’t have to worry about that Leo, because your throne is safe and despite your little twist and your little, uh, spin on things, I’m with Will on this one. The guy who ditched his family to fly off to la la land. Uh, yeah, because he had to do what he needed to do for his job.

I know this might be a concept that’s foreign to you, Leo, but some people have to travel for work. Uh, travel is one thing he told Sonny he wasn’t coming home for the holidays. Yeah. Except he did come home for the holidays to surprise Sonny on Christmas only to find him with you. Here, the person who has caused a whole lot of people, including Will and Sonny, a whole lot of misery.

That is, in my opinion, your subjective perspective. That’s a subjective perspective, really. Uhhuh. really see, in my opinion, That’s an objective fact because your whole MO is to target vulnerable men and bleed them dry. You say that like, I have designs on Sunny. We’re just friends. Okay. Well, in my experience, when somebody in one party says that we’re just friends, that’s not the truth.

The truth is one of those people is pining for the other, and then the other person who thinks he’s about to have sex with one of those friends is left out in the. Okay, well now I have lost track of which person is the other person and who’s pining for whom. But somehow I don’t think we’re talking about me and Sonny anymore.

Okay. Okay. Okay. I will go, but no one can laugh if I fall on my. Kay. We would never. All right, go get your hats in your gloves. Come on. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Okay. Get your coach too.

Are you sure about this? Dude? You need me? Those kids totally own you all. Just call the ring . Okay.

Will come on, will open up when I slam the door in your face. That meant go away. All right, well, are we alone because we’re talking.

Allie and Chanel are out, but no son. We are not alone because Leo Stark is smack in the middle of our lives. Okay. And you think shutting me out literally is the best way to get through it. We shouldn’t have to get through anything. You kick Leo out. That’s problem solved. You have every right to be upset.

Yes, I, yes, I know. I’ve, I I am upset and I should be upset because you do this one simple thing and it’s over, but for some incomprehensible reason, you, you just, you haven’t done it yet. He has nowhere else to go, will, son, you’re doing it again. You’re feeling sorry for a, for a predator. Leo Stark is a gold digging Grif.

All he does is bring pain and misery. Why is it so hard for you to believe that someone can change? I’m not, I’m not having this conversation with you. I’m not. You’re not. What? What? Look, somewhat someone, yes, someone can change, but a gold digging grifter, like I said, a conman with a heart of stone. I don’t think so.

Okay. I’m not. That Leo is a completely different person, and I, I’m definitely not excusing his past behavior, but like I said, I’ve been spending a lot of time with him and I, it’s become very clear to me that beneath all the flamboyance and theatrics is a, a real human being with feelings and, and dreams.

Feelings and dreams. Really? Yes. I’ve seen it, and maybe if you were here, you’d, you’d believe it too. Oh, you mean if I hadn’t abandoned you to go to la? Of course, we’re still talking about Sonny. You’re trying to cause problems between him and will. Meanwhile, all you give a damn about is your toothpaste. I prefer cinnamon.

Fine. I’ll borrow Maggie. Or buy your own or better yet, move out and then buy your own. You, you are clearly not a morning person. I, I just don’t enjoy waking up with a thief in my room, Leo, or in my bed. Scram. You gotta go. I, I, I have to get dressed. Need a hand picking out a shirt? Oh my goodness. Alexander, get your mind out of the gutter.

But if you did need a hand, let’s go out, out.

Whoever was in that clown Baskett couldn’t have been Xander. I mean, it’s impossible. When I came to, in the Warehouse, he was tied up right next to me and the, and then the bozo came in and the two of ’em got in a big brawl, and yet somehow the clown managed to get out without being unmasked. Bonnie, it was a setup.

The, the whole thing was just an act to make Xander look like a hero. My God, is it possible well pull it off? He would’ve needed someone to. Yeah. Yeah. And I know who it was. Morning loves what’d I miss?

Sarah hasn’t said anything yet. Yeah. And I don’t think she ever will. That makes one of us. She just needs time to, to calm down. Yeah. And, and realize that you never meant to hurt. I did hurt her badly. Yes, but that wasn’t your intention, was it?

I mean, come on. You’re in this whole bloody mess, Sandra, because you love her so damn much. So maybe have some faith in her love for you too, and some hope that she will come to understand that you were doing all of this just to, to prove. That you’re a good husband. There’s no way Sarah’s gonna gimme the benefit of the doubt about this.

It’s more likely that she’ll find an evil clan to take me out. Pessimist, Gwen, I really do appreciate you Trina. You know, cheer me up and I feel awful for dragging you into all this. I know how hard you’ve worked. Get back into Jack’s good graces. If he finds out that you’ve been helping me, boy, you let me deal with my dad messed up my life beyond all repair.

I’m not gonna do the same to you. I’ll tell Jack that you’ve Yeah. That I, I forced you to help me. Then I’ll, I’ll protect you, I promise. No, you’ve already got so much to deal with. As is Quinn. You keep telling me that I. I’m trying to pay you. My dad. Let me,

are you taking shots at me for going to la? Oh, oh my God. That’s not, that’s not what I meant. I swear, if you wanna have a conversation about how we can live apart, I would be more than happy to, but I think we should probably deal with this. Okay. You wanna be roomies with Leo? I think that’s patently insane.

I asked you to kick him out. You refused. What, what else is there to discuss? I, if you disagreed with me about something that I felt strongly about, I would hear your opinion. So can you, can you just please do the same for me please? Fine. Okay. , thank you.

Look, when, when Craig left, Leo kind of lost him, all right? And he hurt a lot of people, but he knows that he made a mistake. Do you honestly believe that? I do. Yeah, I do. What do you When he talks about it, I, I can see the sadness in his eyes. I can hear the regret in his voice. He knows he screwed up. And he, he spent a lot of time reflecting, thinking about how to change his life, how to turn it around, and the first step was to find a job.

So I offered him one. No, he asked you for one when you were in the hospital and you said he was a conniving creep and he needed to talk to Alex and he didn’t. He did months later, after we started becoming friends. So when Alex shut him, I told him that when I went back to being C E O, I would need an assistant.

No, you were gonna hire him again, Sonny. No, he almost destroyed tight. Let me finish. He shut me down. You know why? Because he knew Uncle Vic would freak out and fire me. That’s proof right there. That is proof that he has changed. He put my wellbeing in front of his own needs, or he’s parlaying your offer into something better.

Why are you being so negative? Why are you being so naive? Just because Leo does. Potentially not completely selfish thing. I’m, I’m, you, you want me to change my mind on him? No. I am trying to get you to understand the choices that I’ve made and if you understand those choices and you still want Leo gone.

He’s gone.

People. The mood in here is downright marose. It’s like someone died or something. Wait, did someone die? I’m just glad I didn’t. Doesn’t that clown. Sarah thinks that Zander was the kidnapper and that he hired a fig kidnapper so that I wouldn’t suspect that he was a real kidnapper. I think. Well, that seems farfetched.

Leo, please. Um, Sarah was about to tell us who she thinks Xander’s accomplice was, and she seems pretty sure about it. I am. There’s only one person that makes sense.

You want to repay me right now if.

I think that we are getting a bit ahead of ourselves here. Now, see, I am still very optimistic that things fuck out for you. Now you’re a bit optimistic. I am going to, uh, drown my saw eyes. Right.

I’m going to be very brutally honest with you right now.

Cook. You are as delectable specimen of the male species that I have ever laid eyes on, but you are never more unattractive than when you wallow in self petty.

Short break. I promise I’ll be right back.

Oh, there she is, Alex. Hi. Hi. What are you doing here? Your assistant said I might find you here. Oh, why’d you need to find me? We had a strategy meeting planned for today. What did you forget about me? No, I actually left a message with your assistant about rescheduling. Did you? Mm-hmm. . Oh. Must have ah, must have got my wires crossed.

Oh, sorry about that. It’s okay. Anyway, what are you doing here? What are you here with?

I thought you felt strongly about this. I do. But you’re willing to change your mind.

Uh, Leo and I will still be friends. Okay. We work through a lot and that that means something to me, but I will find him another place to live as soon as possible, even though you think it’s perfectly fine for him to stay. Keri, obviously it’s not perfectly fun if it upsets you.

You’re my husband. Well, you always come first.

I no one. I feel like I’m forcing you to do something you don’t want to do. You’re not forcing me to do anything. All I want to do is to make you happy. That’s the most important thing to me. I love you will. I love you when things are great. And I still love you when we’re fighting and I still can’t believe you flew all the way out here and I still haven’t gotten a single kiss yet.

Well, Merry Christmas. Happy New Year.

Love, as they say. Conquer. I can’t take any more of your positivity. Oh God, I’m not gonna stand here and, and let you just give up. I’m a woman of your dreams. What choice do I have? Change. Change your mindset. Zander. Stop feeling so bloody. Sorry for yourself. And start thinking about Sarah. Yeah. Think about,

think about holding her for kissing her, touching her, lost all of that forever. Ah, so you’re a loser then. No. A quitter then, are you? Not at all. Right. Well then imagine yourself with your wife. Yeah. Together. Close. Happy. Now. Alright. I’m imagining, I’m imagining good. No, just hold that there. Just keep that mental image there at the forefront of your mind and let it motivate you.

Put this fire underneath you and hold onto it every minute of every day until Sarah’s back in your arms.

Oh my gosh. That’s exactly what I need to do. Your riot.

thank you so much. You are the only one that could have brought me back from the head. Yeah. Well I am your mate, so the least. Do

you think Gwen was Xander’s accomplice? Well, I heard him going over everything with her, so, well. He may have told her about the kidnapping, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that she was in on it. However, she was in, on his lie about the. But the clown who kidnapped Zandra in me was a man, a big man, and didn’t look at all like Gwen actually.

Grave called me earlier and he said that uh, they found some evidence to indicate that the clown was actually wearing a bodysuit, one of those bodysuits you wear to bulk up your appearance, which means that it’s possible that it was Gwen or a man with a smaller frame. Isn’t that right, Leo? Who are you looking at me for?

You’re Gwen’s friend. Did she mention any of this to you? And just don’t even think about lying. I swear on a stack of Bibles. I know absolutely nothing about Gwen dressing up as a clown. If I were you, I try W Ringling Brothers.

Hi guys, this is Alex. Why don’t you say, Hi, Alex. Nice to meet you. Hey, nice to meet you. Firm Shake. Good shake. So I, uh, I heard that, that this one missed a meeting. I’m sorry. That’s on us. We, uh, we dragged her into this. Aw, daddy, you wanna skate more? Okay. Yeah. Uh, just give us a minute. You know what, I got this.

You too. Catch up. Okay, come on. Let’s go.

Oh, I’m sorry, man. The kids wanted her to come. Oh, no. It’s all good, man. It’s all good. You guys having a good time? Yeah, yeah, we are. Good, good, good. I’m glad. Chad, I just want to, uh, make sure we’re clear on where we stand now. You do know Stephanie and I are together.

Yes, of course. I know that you and Stephanie are. I’m sorry man. I didn’t mean for that to come out as harsh as it may have. Uh,

I know how rough Christmas was for you. I know you’re missing Abigail and I get it, man. I really do. And to be honest, I had a really good time hanging out with you, but not to get too tmi right before you showed up. It’s just Steph and I having a good time. I ended up having a run at the drugstore to go get.

You know? Right, right. Yeah, exactly. So here I am thinking that it’s just gonna be the two of us and . Yeah. I’m becoming the third wheel. I, I would’ve maybe found kinder words to say, but sort of Look, I honestly been, that wasn’t my intention with the holidays. I was just feeling lonely. Stephanie’s a friend and she’s easy to be with.

Yeah, she is, but the holidays are over. We made it just another workday in which Stephanie and I had a meeting planned and instead she’s here with you all having Having what? Family time.

I’ve been away for a lot longer than either of us thought I would be, and I’m sorry for that son, even though it was unavoidable and you supported my decision to go. But I, I still feel like I kind of stranded you here, and I, I know that’s been hard it. It’s been hard for me too. What’s made it sort of bearable is that I’m surrounded by people all the time, you know, colleagues, fellow filmmakers, and you know, some friends I I’ve made who aren’t substitutes for you.

obviously. But I, I, I guess what, what I, what I’m trying to say is I’m okay with you having, you know, a new friend too. I just really wish it was somebody else. Okay. Well it isn’t, and I don’t think we want a relationship where we can veto each other’s friendships. No, we don’t. Okay, so I’m still gonna be friends with Leo.

And you don’t like that? Where does that leave us?

Fatty? What’s on earth? Did you just run here? Uber flat. Need to talk urgent. Is this about your mission to get into Sunny’s Trouss? Don’t you bother denying it? I know you all too. Well man. Bye. So, okay, yes. Sorry darling, but your sexual fantasies are gonna have to wait cause I’ve just got too much in my mind.

So yes, please. Another time. Another time. Another my foot,

my darling girl. I’m so. About all of this. You don’t have to be sorry, mom. This is all on me. I, I knew that there was something wrong with Xander and I just pushed it off. Can I do that? You love him?

Yeah, but I let, I let that blind me to who he is, who he’s always going to be.

Hi, it’s Sarah. Leave a message. It’s. Again, I, I know I have so much to make up for Sarah. So many bad mistakes and and bad choices by swear. I did it all for love cause I love you so much with all my heart. I swear I do. Please just call me back.

I guess where that leaves us is, uh, pretty awkward place. Yeah,

I’m, I’m, I’m not gonna lie to you, it, it is hard for me to accept that you’re friends with someone who has done so much damage. Um, but you and Leo have admitted some fences and it’s clear that you have a certain loyalty to him. And when I think about it, the only thing I can. I just respect that

shall woo agree to disagree until you realize I’m right or vice versa. I hate hate you. I know, but I love making up.

Family time, that’s not an accusation. I understand the whole ice skating thing is innocent, but I also know you had feelings for Stephanie, so I’m gonna ask you man to man,

if there’s something brewing here you think I should know about Chad, it’s better to get it out there now.

Alex? No, listen to me. There’s absolutely nothing romantic going on between me and Stephanie. All right. She’s my friend and my boss. That’s it. All right. Hey, we, uh, we ran into a couple of the kids’ friends just now and their mom who said she’d watch them when I came to get you. Um, but they said that they want daddy to skate too.

Hmm. Okay. Thank you. Mm-hmm. , thank you. Yeah.

All right. If you’re not too tired, what do you say? I go run a pair of skates. I’m gonna go hit a couple laps around this rink. Who the hell do you think you are?

All right. Get you some ice. No need to talk bad news. Yeah. Well, what happened? Your news is it can’t be worse than mine. Sarah overheat, me and Zander talking about the kidnapping and get this. She’s decided to keep what she knows to herself. I mean, it’s a bloody miracle. Why are you flapping? Listen, important.

Okay, go on then talk. Sarah is not keeping her mouth shut. She’s telling everybody what Xander did.

I. I, I spoke to Gwen. If, look, if this is about my phony job at redneck. Oh, rednecks. Oh, rednecks you,

Sarah, please don’t blame yourself. This is all on Zander. Talk to me. Sweet. Tell me what you’re thinking. What will you do next?

The only thing I can do, what is that?

I have to divorce him.

Any luck tracking now, Ralph? So far every lead just brings us straight into another dead end. Okay, we’ll keep at it. We need to find this guy. We need to get him to admit what Lehan did to Steph. Oh, almost forgot a messenger. Dropped us off for you today.

Oh, everything okay? Yeah, it’s from my attorney,

my divorce papers.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Steffy: Sheila is pure evil! Bill, you’re devoting yourself to her. You’re blackmailing me. You’re threatening my mother’s happiness and freedom. Sheila terrorized my mother.

Brooke: Look, I just need you to understand and respect that you and I are not going to be together, even though when we were, it was very magical. It’s just not going to happen again.

Katie: Would I like to reconcile with you and be a family again and spend my life with you? Yes, that’s what I’ve always wanted. I know you love me.

Bill: Of course, I do.

Katie: But you also love my sister. And that’s something that I can’t live with. Goodbye, bill.

Sheila: I love you so much, bill. I’m yours for life.

Steffy: Bill has lost his mind. How can he be aligning himself with sheila?

Finn: To wrap my head around that…

Steffy: Thankou.

Finn: Here. I know you didn’t sleep.

Steffy: Yeah. I’m too worried about what this could mean for my mom.

Finn: I know, and then we find out on the news last night that sheila was arrested?

Steffy: Sheila’s behind bars where she belongs, but who called the police.

Finn: Well, obviously not us.

Steffy: Thanks to bill with his quid pro quo. We keep sheila out of jail or bill will expose my mother for shooting him.

Finn: Whoa.

Steffy: What?

Finn: Bill was the one who turned sheila in.

Steffy: Bill?

Finn: Yeah. That’s what it says.

Steffy: Hopefully that means that he’s finally come to his senses.

Carter: Are they sure it’s sheila?

Katie: They’re saying it’s her. That sheila carter is in custody. Minus one toe.

Carter: I don’t want to be a skeptic, but I’d hate for all of us to be fooled.

Katie: I don’t think it’s a rumor. I’m looking at like, four different websites and… and the police just confirmed. Sheila carter is in custody.

Carter: So, bill called 9-1-1 and had sheila apprehended. Why was she even over there in the first place?

[ Door unlatching ]

Liam: Dad! We were worried about you.

Bill: I told you guys on the phone last night.

Wyatt: You said like two words!

Bill: I was– I was tired. But um… I’m good. Nothing to worry about.

Liam: Nothing to worry– oh, he says there’s nothing to worry about.

Wyatt: You had a homicidal maniac literally in your house.

Bill: She’s gone now.

Liam: Yeah, that’s great, but why was she here in the first place?

Wyatt: Dad, why was sheila here? What’s going on?

Steffy: I am so confused. Bill was over here with sheila acting like some lovesick teenager, and then he hands her over to the police?

Finn: Yeah, it a pretty big 180.

Steffy: Seriously. He stops us from calling the cops and then he goes ahead and does it himself?

Finn: You think sheila could’ve threatened him? I mean, maybe they got into it on the drive back home.

Sheila: Anything’s possible.

Finn: Maybe sheila put him up to the whole thing.

Steffy: I’m hoping that’s the case, but bill’s not one to be easily manipulated, so.

Finn: So then, I guess he just woke up.

Steffy: I need to find out and see if bill is dropping this whole horrible blackmail scheme. Sometimes you’re so busy taking care of everyone else

Katie: Well, one thing’s for sure. I did not have sheila gets arrested at bill’s house on my bingo card.

Carter: Tell me about it. And what was she doing there? Did she break in? Could bill have gotten hurt?

Katie: I don’t know. I thank god he didn’T. I mean, thank god will wasn’t there. I mean, the woman is unhinged. She could’ve shown up at any of our houses. Thank god we ramped up security.

Carter: Even then, you never know.

Katie: No, you’re right. Bill has 24 hour security and– and the place is like a fortress. Clearly, it didn’t help him.

Carter: Thankfully, she’s exactly where she belongs.

Katie: Yes. We will all rest easier knowing she is curled up in a cold, hard cell.

Carter: Mm. I think we might have to do some celebrating later.

Katie: Oh, yeah. I think we’ll be celebrating tonight.

Carter: Okay, I just can’t get this out of my head. I’m curious how it all happened. Aren’t you?

Katie: I’m gonna have to talk to bill, get all the details. One thing’s for sure, he’s gonna get a big thank you from all of us. He’s a hero for catching sheila.

Liam: Dad, what was sheila carter even doing here?

Bill: Now, let’s go over this one more time just to make sure we are absolutely clear. I’m gonna tell them that you showed up here, desperately pleading your case, I shut you down and called the cops. That’s our story. Now, you’re going to be in jail for a bit, that’s a necessary step. I will then do everything in my power to get you out. And you will be a free woman again and we could be together.

Sheila: You don’t know how much I’m counting on that.

Bill: This is bill spencer. Sheila carter is in my home. Hurry! She’s gotta be apprehended. Hurry!

Wyatt: Dad, where’d you go just now? Come on. We want to know why sheila was here.

Bill: She uh, she just showed up, you know? Pleading her case. So, I held onto her and I called 9-1-1.

Wyatt: That’s insane because you’re literally like the last person who would ever feel sympathy for her.

Liam: Exactly. Why– why would she put her freedom at risk by coming here? What the hell was she thinking?

Bill: Can’t answer that.

Wyatt: Clearly, she was desperate.

Liam: So desperate.

Wyatt: Right?

Liam: We literally thought that she kidnapped you.

Wyatt: Yeah, and as soon as we found the earring and the wig and everything, we knew she was here.

Bill: Yeah, you mentioned that last night.

Wyatt: Yeah, which is why we had to call chief baker immediately and tell him everything we found.

Liam: Yeah, and oh, by the way, by the way, where were you when we showed up last night? ‘Cause we looked everywhere. We searched the entire house.

Wyatt: Yeah, and your car was gone. Where were you, dad?

Finn: How could bill have even considered siding with sheila?

Steffy: Some kind of psychotic break.

Finn: Well, it sure looked like something was going on between those two.

Steffy: Ugh. Just the thought of sheila and bill together grosses me out. Like, what is he thinking? He knows about all the despicable things she’s done.

Finn: She shot you.

Steffy: She shot you. Her own son!

Finn: Well luckily, my real mom was able to nurse me back to health.

Steffy: Sheila tried to kill li. She ran her off the road, into the ocean. Like, my god, finn. I don’t–

Finn: Look, we’re finally getting some justice, right?

Steffy: Look, it is comforting that sheila is behind bars, but something– something feels off. First, bill says that we need to show sheila mercy, and that we have to be quiet about them or my mom goes to prison, and then look what he does. Like, it doesn’t make sense.

Finn: Yeah. Well, maybe bill just realized how delusional he was being.

Steffy: Or it’s some part of his grand plan.

Finn: You really think so?

Steffy: I don’t know. But please, do not say anything about bill and his blackmail. It’s just– it’s too risky.

Finn: Come here. It’s gonna be okay.

Steffy: I hope– I don’t–

Finn: It’s gonna be okay. I’m not gonna let anything bad happen to our family.

Steffy: Oh, god. And now please welcome ana montoya.

Katie: Well, brooke is ecstatic. She heard the news. Can’t believe it.

Carter: I never thought I’d say this about bill spencer, but I agree with you. He’s a hero. He saved the day. He could’ve saved someone’s life possibly.

Katie: I mean, who knows what sheila would’ve done next.

Carter: Scared to think who her next target might’ve been.

Katie: It’s game over now. I’m sure chief baker was more than happy to throw the book at her. And now, she’ll never see the light of day again. Thanks to bill.

Carter: And bill’s the one to make sheila finally pay for her crimes. Who would’ve thought?

Katie: Oh, I’m sure we’re gonna hear about this for years and years. He’ll tell this story over and over again about how he single handedly took down sheila carter.

Carter: Hey, bill’s the reason we don’t have to worry about her anymore. I say let the man boast. He’s earned it.

Katie: I mean, face to face with a violent felon, I don’t know what I would’ve done if she had showed up at my place. I would’ve freaked out. I mean, especially living all by myself.

Carter: That’s when you come to my place.

Katie: Well, you did vow to keep me and my family safe.

Carter: And I meant it. I know you don’t need protecting.

Katie: No, I appreciate it. I always feel safe with you.

Wyatt: Dad, where were you last night?

Bill: Out.

Liam: Oh, my god. What if sheila was here while we were over? Like hiding?

Wyatt: Oh, wow.

Bill: All– all right, look. Bottom line, I took care of sheila.

Wyatt: Well, thank god you got that lunatic out of here.

Bill: I don’t know that I would call her a lunatic.

Wyatt: Okay, how about crazy? How about murderous psycho? I don’t know.

Bill: What– whatever. She’s, uh, she’s in custody.

Liam: Because of you.

Bill: E– enough already.

Liam: No, no, no, no. Let’s not minimize that. I mean, what you did took bravery, right? It’s sheila.

Wyatt: Society owes you a huge favor. Think of all the lives that she almost ruined.

Liam: Finn, steffy, taylor, brooke. I mean, all of them owe you now.

Bill: All right, boys– boys. Really. Um, you know I’m– I’m just really tired. I– I didn’t sleep much last night.

Liam: Well, yeah. I mean, I– I– I– I could barely imagine what you must have gone through with sheila.

Wyatt: Yeah, seriously, dad. She could’ve snapped. She could’ve done something to really hurt you. We we’re concerned.

Bill: Sheila carter will never hurt me. But I, um, I really appreciate your concern. I’m fine. Everything’s going to be fine.

Finn: Look, bill and sheila, it’s totally illogical.

Steffy: I get that bill feels rejected, but this is next level. To side with sheila is a death wish. She’s gonna go down and she’s gonna bring him with her.

Finn: Then nothing good could come from it. That’s for sure.

Steffy: I should go talk to him.

Finn: All right. I’ll come with you.

Steffy: No. I think it’s best if I go alone.

Finn: Steffy, bill has been acting so strangely. That makes me nervous.

Steffy: I– I get that and I love you for being so supportive and caring, but I can handle this. I can. I’m gonna stay calm, play it smart and set aside that he’s blackmailing my mother.

Finn: It’s risky.

Steffy: I know. I won’t do anything rile him up.

Finn: Look, it’s just… I don’t trust the guy. Okay? But, I believe in you. So, just promise me that you’ll be careful and call me immediately if you need backup, okay?

Steffy: I promise. I love you. Find your beat

[ Phone pinging ]

Sheila: Remember the power this represents to you. You take no prisoners. You win at all costs.

Steffy: Bill.

Bill: Steffy?

Steffy: I need to talk to you about last night.

Bill: Not a good time.

Steffy: What happened last night shocked me. When you showed up, when sheila was there, saying the things that you did, threatening my mother to protect sheila.

Bill: I covered for taylor for years, steffy.

Steffy: And we’re grateful for that, but why the sudden shift? What’s driving this? Finn and I heard that you called the police on sheila. Is that true?

Bill: Yes.

Steffy: Does that mean you’ve come to your senses? Sheila is dangerous. She’s evil. Pure evil. She stalked my family for years. She shot brooke, she shot my mom. Bill, she shot me and finn.

Bill: I haven’t forgotten.

Steffy: I’m not sure what kind of relationship formed between the two of you, but yesterday, I was convinced that you were actually developing feelings for her. But now, she’s in jail. There’s no future with her because we will be– we will be pressing full charges. Attempted murder charges. Look, my only hope is that– bill, are you okay? Hey, look at me. I know you. You didn’t mean what you said. Does sheila have something on you? Is she blackmailing you? What other explanation can there be? You can’t have real feelings for a woman like her. She is totally deranged. Look, I know you feel hurt and abandoned by katie and brooke. By all of us. Maybe we should’ve been more sensitive to your feelings. Please tell me this isn’t true. Please tell me you are not turning to sheila. You said something last night regarding going public about my mother shooting you here, in this very room, all those years ago. Bill, please don’t do that. You cannot side with sheila. She is dangerous and psychotic. Please, for your own sake. For all of our sakes. You can’t do it.

Update written by Barbara

On the patio of Crimson Lights, Danny gives Daniel some words of encouragement and mentions that he shouldn’t feel that he needs to push back his emotions. Father and son hug as Danny prepares to head to the airport.

After Daniel leaves and Danny is still at the coffeehouse, Christine comes by to meet with Mariah and Tessa about their impending meeting with Delphine, the woman whose baby they might wind up adopting.  Danny agrees to stick around so he and Christine can talk after she finishes with her meeting with Mariah and Tessa. Danny can’t help but listen in to part of Christine’s conversation with the prospective new parents, telling them to put themselves forward and speak from the heart.

Hearing this, Danny flashes back to both good times and turbulent times during his past with Christine.  When Christine joins him at the Crimson Lights patio, she lets Danny know she is not pleased about Phyllis’s post on social media with theof her with Danny and Daniel.

Christine mentions that she didn’t know that Phyllis and Daniel are still in such close touch over the years. Danny downplays things and says they’re not really very close, just teammates and co-parents. Christine continues, going on about being unable to fortie of for    she literally almost caused Christine her life.

Danny says he is sorry about the pain Phyllis caused her and takes her hand in his. Christine says they were both adversely affected by Phyllis and she’s glad they were able to move on and find happiness, even though they didn’t find it together. Danny comments about her marriage to Paul approaching ten years and the deep connection Christine and Paul have and he’s really happy that things are going well for her.

Christine asks Danny if he has anyone special in his life and he tells her that he is seeing someone on a casual basis for now. He is quick to let Christine know that he always has room in his life for a dear friend.

They agree to stay more in touch and Christine says that she and Paul will come to see one of Danny’s concerts in Chicago. Both she and Dannt feel that they have more to talk about so he takes Christine up on her offer to give him a ride to the airport.

At Newman Media, Nate and Victoria are having a meeting and he notices that Victoria seems off and just not quite herself. Nate offers to get them coffee from the breakroom and listen to whatever Victoria wants to share. She opens up in a general way, saying that there are some very complicated factors going on with Johnny.

Nate mentions that although he’s not a parent himself, he was a child once, and did plenty of things that displeased his parents.  He encourages Victoria to give Johnny some space and in doing so, she might be able to prevent him from pulling away.

Billy comes by Chelsea’s apartment, claiming to be there for an update on Connor’s school project with the egg drop device. However, Chelsea senses that Billy is distracted and unhappy. Eventually, he tells Chelsea that Lily thinks that she and he may be done, and Chelsea becomes alarmed and worried that the rift  in his relationship with Lily is due to Billy spending too much time with her.

As a result, Chelsea strongly suggests to Billy that he meet with Lily and let her know how much she means to him.  Chelsea tells Billy that she got a second chance, now he deserves one. With Chelsea’s encouragement, Billy texts Lily to ask if they can get together.

Meanwhile, Lily is at Society, where she runs into Nick and joins him at a table. Lily is cautious about telling him anything regarding her relationship with Billy, seeing as how Billy had been Nick’s brother-in-law at one point. So, Billy and Nick have small talk, talking about how their holidays were.

Nick then apologizes for Newman Media’s decision to fire Sally and instate Nate as CEO with the company. Lily lets him know that it’s fine because she knows he was not involved with what happened with Nate and Victoria. Nick doesn’t mention anything specific, but Lily says that his silence is giving her answers about the overall situation.  She lets him know that when she gets hurt, she can roll with it. Nick asks if they’re talking about Nate or Billy at that point. He offers to listen to whatever is troubling her but she declines.

After Nick leaves, Lily gets a text notification on her phone. It’s from Billy, saying that he wants to meet up with her. She agrees to get together with him at the Glam Club. When they are there, Billy tells her that he wants to save their relationship. After some tense words between him and Lily, he admits that he messed up.

He tells her that he will do anything that needs to be done to salvage their relationship, saying that he will make an appointment for couples counseling and do anything else Lily requests. She and Billy agree to improve their relationship rather than abandoning it.

At her apartment, Chelsea gets a text from Connor asking if they can have pizza with Johnny that week. Chelsea starts typing a text about it to Billy, but deletes what she had been typing. Instead, she texts Victoria to ask her about it. When Victoria gets Chelsea’s text asking if Johnny could join her and Connor for pizza sometime, Victoria doesn’t want that. So, she starts typing a reply to Chelsea, saying that Johnny has too much homework.  Victoria hesitates, then changes her mind and deletes what she was typing. Instead she lets Chelsea know that she will get back to her about setting up a night that works for all of them.

Update written by Suzanne

In Steffy and Finn’s beachhouse, Steffy can’t believe that Bill is siding with Sheila and is blackmailing her. She keeps railing at him about how awful Sheila is. Bill lets them know that if they don’t drop the charges against Sheila (for her shooting them), then he will press charges against Taylor for shooting him. Nothing Steffy and Finn say gets through to Bill; not even mentioning what she did to Li. He and Sheila hold hands and talk about their feelings for each other and how alike they are. They also mention that they’ve been living together. Bill warns them not to tell anyone about their deal, and then he and Sheila leave Steffy and Finn alone.

Finn and Steffy can’t believe that Bill and Sheila are together or why Sheila would even trust Bill, since he turned her in before. They’re shocked that they’ve been living together. Finn wants to know why Taylor shot Bill, so Steffy is forced to confess that she and Bill slept together one night when she was having a fight with Liam. Taylor thought that Bill took advantage of her, so that’s why she shot him. She makes sure to tell him that Taylor is a different person now. Finn gets very angry at Bill, but Steffy assures him that their night together was consensual. Finn still thinks that Bill manipulated her. She just wants to focus on their future. He thanks her for telling him the truth. He wants to phone the police, but Steffy can’t do that to her mom.

Meanwhile, Wyatt and Liam are at Bill’s house, freaking out that Bill seems to be missing and that Sheila’s wig and earring are there. They’re worried that Sheila kidnapped or murdered Bill. After checking around some more, they discover that Bill’s car is missing and that all of the video surveillance, including backup, is gone (supposedly from the storm). They find this to be very suspicious, so they phone Detective Baker about what happened. He asks about Bill’s jet, which they hadn’t thought of. He orders them to leave Bill’s house because it might be dangerous. Baker hopes that they get Sheila in custody tonight.

Later, Bill and Sheila arrive at his house. She is very grateful for all he’s done for her. As they planned, he phones the police to say Sheila is there and that they need to hurry. He promises Sheila that once she goes back to jail, he’ll make sure to get her out, and then she’ll be free, and they can be together. Sheila grabs his sword and tells him to remember what it stands for. She says that she loves him and that she’s his for life because he takes what he wants at all costs. He doesn’t tell her that he loves her, but they kiss.

The police arrive, guns drawn, so Bill hands her over to them, pretending to be relieved that they’re there. Baker says that this is the end for Sheila, but she gives Bill a smoldering look as they lead her out.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Happy. Happy New Year.

Ah. Yeah,

come on, Gabby. Pick up.

It’s me again. Your groom, Jing Gwen told me you’ve gone to Miami to find Stephan. Please call me back as soon as you get this, Gabby, I know how hurt and angry you must be, but if, if you, if you just give me a chance, I can explain everything, so please call me. I love you so much.

Oh man, really? What the hell are you doing in here? Apparently I’m a little too late. How did you get in? Oh, the front desk was very nice to give me this after I showed them that my, it says Gabby Damara, and that’s good. My husband.

What do you mean Rachel’s gone well? Well, she’s not in her bed and, and it’s after midnight and I don’t know where she is. Brady, what are you doing? I’m calling Eric. Who do you think?

It’s his voicemail. Oh my God. I mean, he’s not here. He’s not picking up his phone. He’s supposed to stay with Rachel until we get home. Holidays are passed. Now it’s time to put that plan into motion. Right. My own daughter. Listen, it’s the only way we can force Kristen’s hand. I’m I, I un, I understand. We just have to make sure that we find the right time to.

Tonight. It has to be tonight. Look, he’s the most responsible guy. I know. There’s gotta be some kind of explanation. A donor is missing Brady,

like sands through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

I know it’s traditional for people to kiss someone at midnight.

So was this just a New Year’s kiss? It seems to me this kiss could mean whatever, want to.

Hey, hey, where are you going? I dunno.

That was, uh, totally unexpected.

You know, you know this Z we came up with. You don’t make everybody think we’re a couple, so they cut you. Guess what we’re really up to? Well,

I don’t know. Now it’s starting to feel more like mob. We’re really up to instead of an act that I don’t think that made any sense. This is New Year’s. A kissing could just be like, you know, going with the flow felt pretty real to me.

You mean that

felt pretty real to me too.

She’ll call sh sh. She’ll gimme a chance to explain

a message from Rolf. He’s got some explaining to do

your husband’s room. Are you in Lee Honeymooning in this hotel? If so, go find him and leave the two of us alone. I Salem and I don’t want any part of him. You’re not making any sense at the wedding. I remembered something. So, so Rolf did brainwash you, he wipe out your feelings for me. Okay. That is ridiculous.

You told me yourself, you went and saw Wolf, told him your crazy theory, he denied it and you believed. Yes. At first I did, but then I remembered that while I was arguing with him, he all of a sudden had a needle in his hand. He injected me with some kind of drug that made me forget that at first. He admitted I was right.

Well, how do you remember now? I don’t know. I don’t know. But as soon as, as Lee and I were pronounced man and wife, it all came back to me. Stefan, you still love me? If I remember that, then so can you.

Why are you doing this? What do you get out of it? The truth. Everyone in Salem knows that Rolf is devoted to the Deras. So why would he brainwash Stephan? Because it wasn’t Rolf’s decision. Somebody else forced him to do it. Who would do such a thing to me? Huh? Le, my brand new husband.

How the hell could you do this to me? I couldn’t answer when you called me before. I was getting married to the love of my life, but it doesn’t matter. Your warning came too late. The shot were off about five seconds after Gabby and I were married. She’s on her way to Miami right now to find Stefan.

You’re sorry that’s all you’ve got. I guess. You’re not the genius you thought you were and now, now you’ve ruined my life.

It is. Uh, After midnight. , wanna go for a walk?

I know I told my brother I was done with him, but his whole world flew up tonight. Fuck you. You, you’ve warned the guy that that might happen, but I’m not the kind of person who said, I told you so. I feel so bad for him and it kind of makes it hard to focus on how happy I am with you right now. I’m happy too.

D’s lovely. He, he will probably lose his job at Jamira. He might even go to prison. I get it. You’re his sister. He needs. You want to be there for, will I see you tomorrow? I think the chances of that are excellent. I’m gonna ask you on a real date, not one that’s just for appearances. I like that very much.

Okay.

Happy New Year. Happy New Year,

Chris. Hey, Eric’s not here. Rachel’s not here. You know they have New Year’s Eve fireworks down by the river. I’m sure that’s where he took her. Right? But he is not picking up his phone. You’re talking about me. I turned my phone off. Where is Rachel? Uh, she calmed down around 11. You have to put her in bed and tucked her in.

Okay. I was just there. She’s not in her room. It’s impossible. I just checked on her 10 minutes ago. Well, she’s not there now. What happened to my baby girl, Eric?

Thank you.

Hey, I, I think I know what’s going on. Well, why don’t you tell me that? Alright. Listen, listen, listen, Rachel, sometimes she sleepwalk, right? She hasn’t done that since I’ve been here. No, she’s done it. She’s done it once or twice before. So maybe she’s, she’s probably ConEd out one of the other bedrooms. She better be.

She better be or you are in a lot of trouble. Hey Rachel, sweetheart, it’s mommy. Come on out, honey. The hell are you doing? Where is my kid?

Some people think ice cream is just summer. Those people are nuts. That’s what I say. Good. Thanks for letting me stay up past midnight. Yeah, no problem. Oh, he is the best girlfriend uncle Eric ever had.

Oh, wait, wait, wait. What? What is it?

You and I have been here before and we keep coming back here because there’s an undeniable attraction between. Yes, but it doesn’t mean we should give into it. Why not be be? Because look, the, we use this as a distraction for what we really want and can’t have. I mean, look at last time I was trying to forget about Rafe and you were trying to get over Sammy, and we did both of those things.

Isn’t that something we should celebrate for you baby? Eugene, stop please. For me, it’s, it’s the same tactic. Different guy. Eric, again, do I need to remind you that he’s not having a moment or whatever other jargon you used? He’s moved on. No, he’s not. Bloody hell, Nicole, while you are here mooning over him, he’s probably making passionate love to Sloane Peterson.

Sloan Peterson. You left my kid with Sloane Peterson. What? Are you nuts? Rachel was fine. She and Sloan hit it off immediately. Dude, you did not tell me that you were gonna bring Sloan into this. How do you know that you can trust your lawyer? She’s my lawyer. We have attorney client privilege. Oh, that’s reassuring.

Don’t you understand that? That doesn’t mean a damn thing because she aided and abetted you in a crime.

All right, so tell me why. Why do you think Lee would do this to me? Because he found out that Rolf was keeping you alive. That, that he transplanted Jake’s heart into your chest. How, how did he find out? I don’t know. All I know is that he thought that having a damer on ice would be good leverage in a family business.

But then he fell for me and things got complicated for him. Okay. I, I, I can’t believe this Now, I don’t know Lee that well, but I cannot believe that he would go this. He changed when he met me. He was scared to death of you waking up. He thought that if you did, I’d forget all about him. So he made sure that didn’t happen.

How I pulling the plug on the machines that we’re keeping you alive.

I thought it was her. Right. What are you doing here, Jing? When I thought you said I was on my own. I know.

I thought you might not wanna be alone right now.

Come in.

You said you and Johnny drove Gabby to the airport. I thought maybe she, she didn’t get on the plane. I don’t think there was any chance of that. When we left her, she was totally determined to get this stuff.

You are saying that Lee tried to murder Stephan? Yeah. Ray arrested him tonight for it. He dragged him out of our wedding and street to headquarters. Turns out I didn’t know the man I married at all. Okay? And I am sorry about that. I am, but what do you expect me to do about it? I expect you to go get your stuff and help me go find Ralph.

Undo what he did to you. Forget it. What? I’m not going anywhere with you, Gabby. I’m staying right here with Chloe.

I had to think Va Brady, the important thing is that Rachel is happy. She’s safe and you know where she is? Yeah. She’s with a woman who has zero school. She’s not there. I, I’ve been looking everywhere. Where are you looking for her? I’m, no, I’m about to. I um, who are you calling? Brady. Our daughter is missing.

I’m calling the cops.

Eric is just using Sloan to get over. But that doesn’t mean I should use you to get over him. I use me. I’m at your disposal. I would love nothing more than to lose myself in this bed. Well then, but I okay , but it wouldn’t hurt to try restraint for once in my life. Like I, I, I’m not close to being over Eric and I’m not even divorced from ra.

I suppose I understand, and one of my top New Year’s resolutions is to stop making decisions that I will regret. You call what you do, making decisions. See, even, you know, I’m right

and if you ever. Result back to acting on the instinct. I very much hope that I’ll be there.

Oh, and by the way, when I told you that I was aware of what Lee did to dear to Stephan, I assumed you would keep that to yourself.

You’ve assumed, right. Thank you. Don’t mention it.

Goodnight, Nicole.

I know I’ve made a total mess of things.

You’re always ruthless. We’re going after something you.

I learned that at our father’s knee,

not that he’s to blame for what I’ve done. Can I ask you something?

I don’t have any more secrets Left. Let’s go for it. Did truly try to kill Stephan?

Did you not hear a word? I just said, Gabby. I heard every word of it. None of it matters to me. Part of your brain that loves me was wiped out. And you’re okay with that. Maybe you didn’t notice when you broke into this room, Gabby, but Chloe and I were kind of in the middle of something. You’d rather have sex than find out what happened to you.

We just made love for the first time, and that is a very big deal to me. That only happened because you’re not in your right mind. He’s only here with you because he doesn’t remember the part of his brain that, that, that still loves me. Is that good enough for you?

Hey, you’re, you’re not on good terms with the police right now, Chris. I don’t care. Our baby is Missy Brady. I, and why is you so damn about it? No, no, no, no. I’m just, he was here. There’s no way someone could have broken in. Oh my God. What if, what if she woke up and, and she wanted to see New Year’s Eve and she, she sleep and walked out that door?

Oh my God, yes. Yes. I wanna report

what happened,

Chris, out. I trusted you. It. I trusted you when you were in there feeding your bed. I don’t understand.

My baby girl. No, just stand by there.

I’m gonna go find Rachel. I’m gonna get her back for you. Yeah, I’m going with, I have two. Put my damn phone. What happened? It was somebody, somebody should stay here in case they contact us again. Ready? I can take my phone. I can, and I mean, I’m not gonna just sit here while a monster has our daughter.

See, lemme see,

man. Okay. Okay. We, we need, we, we need to do what, what, what they want all. We’ll do what they want. And you, I need you to stay here, okay? Short. Okay. Alright. Find her. I’m gonna find her and we’re gonna bring her home safely. Okay.

Hate this. I don’t like it either. I prefer to watch my mom get sick of we die this time. She could do something crazy right now. Hey, I know what she’s capable of. You said Kristen got arrested for what I found out at the wedding. That Kristen and Lee Shin got Rolf to brainwash Stephan into wanting Chloe and hating Gabby.

Are you kidding me? And that’s why he is with Chloe now. She wanted Chloe out of my life. She found a way to make it happen. And the police know now. Yeah, everyone at the wedding knows now. Kristin, you go back to prison. I don’t know what she’s gonna do next, man. Listen, I’m gonna go check on Rachel and make sure she’s okay.

You should check on her because I don’t like the fact that she’s with Sloane Peterson right now. Okay. You go back inside and keep an eye on Kristen. What am I gonna tell her? Why did I come back so quick? I don’t know. Go get for a support. Be United Front. I don’t know. Some balone like that. Plea guilty or desperate?

Not guilty and desperate. Okay. Yeah, it’s not a stretch for me right now. Okay. I’ll go down to the garage with you and I’ll come right back up. All right, good. Because you need to convince Kristen that this is for. I’m gonna do whatever I have to do. I want that bitch out of all of our lives.

Oh, I was just about to, uh, have a toast with your grandfather’s ghost, but you’re a much better company. If you’d care to join me, why not? Your usual. Sure.

Thank you.

Happy New Year. Same to you.

Hi. So did you get Gabby to the airport on time? Yeah. Yep. She, uh, just barely made her flight. She’s. I’s probably in Miami right now. Could even be with Stephan telling him everything. Well, I’m more concerned with what Lee is telling the police. I hope he’s upset over Gabby than causing to spill his guts.

Yeah. And uh, tell Rafe that you knew your brother was brainwashed and did nothing about it. Yes. That, yeah. Well, you are in luck, Lee’s not with the police. They had to let him and on Kristin.

Yep. The only person with him now is Wendy.

I went to Rolf’s lab to get a look at

the love of Gabby’s life.

Ste was just lying there. Help. For all intents and purposes, he’d been dead four years.

I wanted him to stay that way because I was so in love with Gabby, and I knew if Stefan came back, I’d loser to it

and I saw the plug. To the machine that was technically keeping me on alive.

It was all that stood in between me and what I wanted more than I’ve ever wanted anything.

You think I’m a monster, don’t you?

Anything that you think is real between you and Stefan isn’t. He was programmed to be repulsed by me and attracted to you. Do not listen to her. Chloe. No. And aren’t you still on the rebound from Brady? I mean, come on, do yourself a favor. Just get dressed and get out of here. You what? The only one who’s leaving here, Gabby, is you.

What the hell are you doing? Chloe and I came here to spend New Year’s Eve together alone, and that’s exactly what we’re gonna do. That is not gonna make a difference though, because I know the truth and so to you.

Oh my God, you’re back so fast. Did you find something out? Oh, Eric is out there looking. I decided to stay with you. You know, just in case there’s a ransom. Oh my God. I was, Kristen. I was worried. I was worried about you. I don’t, I don’t think you should be alone right now. Thank you.

I, I never expected any of this to happen. I don’t, nothing. Of course she didn’t. I mean, neither did I. We do this. Who would take your sweet baby? Girl?

Good. You gotta just sleep. Finally. God, I spent my New Years watching cartoons. Do you know how boring and stupid those things are? I’m sorry. I thought we were gonna ring in the new year together. And instead I spent my New Year’s emergency babysitting. Hmm. At least it’s over. Actually. It wasn’t a babysitting emergency.

What do you mean something I didn’t tell you?

You think I’m going anywhere? You, you better think. If she doesn’t stop, I will call the front desk and have them send security out here.

Okay. I guess,

come on, where were we?

A message from me. This on will be good.

You hungry? I’m starving. We could order some more room service. Stephan, your ex-wife just showed up here and told you that Ralph literally got inside your head and turned off your feelings for her, and then he brainwashed you into wanting to be with me and you’re talking about food. Okay. I’m actually trying to forget that she was even here.

Are you not even a bit curious about what happened to you? I have heard so many versions of the same damn story and I don’t care. Look, Gabby just married Lee, maybe she’s realizing what a terrible mistake she made. She seemed pretty sure about you. I don’t care how she feels about me, I can’t stand the side of her.

You and I just made love for the first. And that is what is important to me tonight.

I know that you’re the one I wanna be with, and I’m praying you feel the same way.

I asked you a question, do you think I’m a monster? Stephan’s still alive, so I’m hoping that means you plucked him back. Actually, the alarm went off right when Kristen got there. She did the re plugging. So you would’ve let him die. I, I, I don’t know. In retrospect, I’m, I’m glad she showed up. I think I was alone in a room with Stephan and I temporarily lost my mind.

What is that? What your lawyer’s gonna tell the cops?

I am not the nicest guy in the world, jingly, but I’m no killer.

So what happens now,

the police Gabby’s brother, he’s out to get me. If Ray Fernandez figures out that you and Johnny knew about. He’ll want you to corroborate Gabby’s account. It sounds like you’re asking me to lie for you. I dunno if I can do that.

This is Gabby,

Gabby. Thank you so much for calling me back. Well, I was hoping you wouldn’t answer because you’ve been locked up. Your brother let Kristen AMI go. He doesn’t have any proof that I did anything wrong. Well, I don’t need proof cuz I know what you did and I hate you for it. If it’s the last thing I do, I’m gonna make you pay.

Okay. How can I convince you? And I got over Gabby on my own. Huh? I don’t know. But I am going to have to be convinced. Then I will do just that.

What, well, you said before that you would get your own room and I think that right now is a good idea.

That’s what you want. That’s what I’ll do.

Oh, I’m one more thing before I hang up on you forever. I’m in Miami right now and I talk to Stephan. Does does he? Does he remember how he felt about you? No, not yet. But he’ll come around. All your tricks, all your efforts to make and forget. It’s all for nothing because seven will love me again. Damnit. He will.

If we don’t find her, Brady, I don’t wanna go on living. I know. No stuff done. We’re gonna get her back. Rachel’s fine.

How do you know that? I just know. Will you keep telling me that please.

Yeah. Yeah.

Kristen’s kid. How can you, my Christy, in my mother’s life in her hand, what vulnerable spot in her life is Rachel. I’m just hoping she won’t take very long to give. How do I get the sense that you’re enjoying this? Kristen ruined my life a few years ago, and if I told you some of the things that she did to people I care about, you wouldn’t even believe me.

So I really don’t care if she suffers one moment, especially if it makes her do the right thing.

As far as I know, Lee kept you out of this. RA won’t let this one go. He’ll come sniffing around here eventually. Yeah. Well I’m not gonna tell him anything. Or Uncle Stephan. I very much appreciate that. Yeah. I know how much you and Wendy didn’t like keeping this secret. Yeah, yeah. We are both glad that that’s over.

So what is going on between you and Wendy? Oh, that is, None of your business. So there is something. Ah, we’ll, uh, we’ll see what happens in the new year. What about you and Nicole? We’ll see what happens in the new year.

You can take off. I wouldn’t want you to hang around with a guy who’s ruined everything for himself

at least. Do you see that? Now? That’s something

I have nothing left.

What? My chopped liver.

You my big brother. You drive me crazy.

No matter what you do. I will always love you.

You sure about this?

After tonight? I’m, I don’t know. I’m not sure about anything. Well, except that I did have a really nice. New Year’s Eve with you, so thank you. What’s the best night I can.

Thank God you believe me. Oh, I can’t wait to see the look on wall’s face. Get the hell outta my way.

It’ll. It’s just gonna take some time. It’ll.

Young & The Restless Update

Update written by Barbara

At Crimson Lights, Jack and Adam are sitting at a table talking, and Jack tells Adam that he has accomplished quite a lot at Jabot in the short time he has been there. Adam downplays Jack’s compliments, saying that his work has been adequate and it’s not that big of a deal.

Jeremy comes into the coffeehouse and heads over to the patio. Adam notices how Jack starts looking uncomfortable and asks Jack if he knows “that guy”. Without saying who Jeremy is, Jack tells Adam that the man is a thorn in his side. When Adam asks if it’s business or personal says it’s the latter. He mentions  that the man is someone Diane used to know.

Adam is intrigued and asks if he’s an old flame of Diane’s. Jack says it’s nothing like that and lavishes praise on Diane, saying that she has been forthright, admitted her sins, changed her life around and what she’s done is very valuable.

Adam observes that Jack is very protective of Diane. Jack tells him that this is because she’s Kyle’s mother and Harrison’s grandmother. Adam asks how Diane got him to forgive her completely. Jack says that it wasn’t easy, but she came through and earned his forgiveness.  Adam tells Jack that he worries about Jack because he doesn’t to see him get hurt.

Meanwhile, at the Abbott house, Diane lets Kyle and Summer know that Jeremy bought her story about wanting to reunite with him. Kyle is not in favor of what she is planning next, it’s a huge risk, but she assures him she’ll be fine. As the three of them are talking, Diane gets a text from Jeremy asking her to meet him at Crimson Lights.

When Diane opens the front door to head over to the coffeehouse, Phyllis is there. Phyllis is shocked and appalled that Diane is back. She asks if Diane ever really left. Diane deflects, saying that she has to be somewhere, and leaves.

Phyllis asks what Diane is doing there and if Kyle, Summer and Jack have been lying to her about where Diane has been. Kyle tells Phyllis it’s none of her business. Phyllis counters that it is her business, with all the lying that’s been going on.

Phyllis lets Summer know that she came to the Abbott house to see and talk to her because she doesn’t like how things are between them. Phyllis chokes back tears, mentioning to Kyle and Summer that she has come to terms with them firing her from Marchetti. She also reminds Summer that they did not see each other on Christmas, nor did Summer even call her. Summer knows this hurt her mother and looks uncomfortable.

Jeremy is seated at a table on the patio at the coffeehouse, having a heated discussion with Jack when Diane arrives. Jeremy tells Jack that he’s not sure he’s still interested in Jack’s cash offer. Jack becomes irrate and demands to know what changed. Diane enters the patio and says “I’ve changed”.

She and Jack then put on a performance for Jeremy, with her telling Jack that she’s back with Jeremy and she can take care of her own life.  Jack pretends to be aghast by this news and says he cannot believe that she would go back to “that criminal”. He shouts to Jeremy and Diane that they are each other’s problems now, and they better not do anything to harm Kyle, Summer or Harrison and storms off.

Jeremy tells Diane that he’s not sure Diane meant what she told Jack about wanting to be with him, not Jack. Jeremy says that he thinks she gave a great performance, and says that he needs more from her. He says that she has to take a loyalty test to prove her allegiance to him.

Jeremy and Diane go inside Crimson Lights where Diane is putting cream and sugar in her coffee. When she turns around, Jeremy caresses her cheek.

At Sally’s suite, Chloe has come over with the pregnancy test Sally requested. She asks Sally if she even got any sleep and Sally says that despite her anxiety, she slept all night, totally conked out, in her clothes.

Sally takes the pregnancy test and heads for the bathroom, asking Chloe to stay with her while she takes the test. She tells Chloe that she doesn’t want to be alone when she looks to see what the result is. Chloe is more than willing to stay around.

While Sally is in the bathroom, Nick shows up at her suite. Chloe answers the door and speaks loudly, referring to Nick by name and thereby alerting Sally that he is there. When Sally comes out of the bathroom, Nick he tells her that he stopped by because he wanted to check on her and see how she’s doing. She tells him that the soup and ginger ale did the trick and she’s feeling better. Nick invites Sally out to eat, but she tells him that she can’t because she and Chloe have a lot of work to catch up on since Sally had a “stomach bug”. Once he leaves, the women wait for the result of Sally’s pregnancy test.

Sally starts pacing while waiting for the pregnancy test result. Chloe gently tells her to calm down and relax. Chloe then looks at her phone and tells Sally that it’s time to look at the test. Sally picks it up and tells Chloe that it shows she’s pregnant.

Chloe is surprised that Sally is remaining so calm and how she doesn’t even want to try to deal with it. Sally says there’s nothing to deal with because her cycles have always been irregular, she’s not that late, and the test is unreliable. Chloe suggests to Sally that she is in denial, which Sally says is not the case. She then mentions that she is okay and wants some time alone to refocus. Chloe agrees to leave.

At Society, Mariah, Tessa and Sharon are reminiscing about how Sharon and Rey had their New Year’s Eve wedding and their first anniversary there. Sharon jokes around, saying it feels nice to get out of the coffeehouse. She says that it feels like that’s the only place she ever go. She also shares with them how she failed at cooking Rey’s mother’s tamale recipe.

Mariah’s phone pings but the text is not from Delphine, the woman whose baby might be the one for Mariah and Tessa. They have been waiting to hear from her. Another text comes in and it does turn out to be Delphine, apologizing for not getting in touch with them sooner. Mariah and Tessa breathe a sigh of relief because they had been worried that Delphine had changed her mind. Quite the opposite, Delphine says that she wants to meet with them the next day. Tessa happily prepares to book their flights.

At Crimson Lights, Jeremy is not sure that Diane meant what she told Jack about wanting to be with him, not Jack. Jeremy says that he thinks she gave a great performance, and he needs more from her. He says that she has to take a loyalty test to prove her allegiance to him.

At Newman Enterprises, Nick comes into Victoria’s office looking for her and finds Victor there. Nick turns to leave but Victor stops him, saying he wants to talk. Victor lets Nick know that he doesn’t want him being with Sally Spectra. Nick angrily tells his father to stop meddling in his personal life and let him take things with Sally on his own terms. Victor says that he can’t help but want the best for Nick, Victoria, Adam and Abby.

After leaving Victoria’s office at Newman Enterprises, Nick goes to Society, where he runs into Sharon, Tessa, and Mariah at the club. They invite him to join them and he does.

Victor goes to Jabot to see Adam and talk about Connor. Victor lets Adam know that he’s aware that he doesn’t want Connor living at the ranch full time, and Victor just wants Connor to be a bigger part of Nikki and his lives. Adam tells Victor that he will talk to Chelsea and work out a schedule. Victor comments that Adam is quite protective of Chelsea and asks if he and Chelsea are going to get back together. Adam says no, and that he’s just concerened about her welfare.

Just as Phyllis is leaving the Abbott house after a weepy conversation with Summer, Diane and Jack come in after her meeting with Jeremy. Phyllis angrily says that this is “the icing on the cake”, further evidence that Diane did not flee in fear of Jeremy. After Phyllis leaves, Jack tries to talk to Summer about the situation, but she tells him that while she appreciates his concern, she loves her mother and the two of them will work things out.

Kyle asks Diane and Jack how his meeting with Jeremy went. Diane says she thinks that he believed her and he requested some kind of loyalty test from her. She says that she has no idea what this could be, and tells Jack, Kyle and Summer that she will do whatever it takes to get rid of Jeremy.

In her suite after Chloe leaves, Sally throws away the bag that the pregnancy test had been in. After hesitating for a moment, she tosses the test itself into the trash.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jack: You’ve accomplished quite a lot in your short time at jabot.

Adam: Ohh. Come on. It — it was adequate.

Jack: Nah, this is no time to be modest.

Adam: I made a few simple decisions to streamline our processes. It’s not that big of a deal, jack. You know, you don’t, uh, applaud the tenor for clearing his throat, do you?

Jack: [ Chuckles ] I suppose not. I take it that means you have bigger plans for 2023.

Adam: Um…I do. I do, and I look forward to sharing those with you soon. But I just… you know, as we begin this new year, I just — I want to thank you again for giving me this opportunity. You know, I was in a place in my life where I needed somebody to have faith in me, and you stepped up. I appreciate it.

Jack: It was a very easy decision to make.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Well, now who’s being modest? I know the rest of your family was very strongly opposed to the decision.

Jack: All water under the bridge, adam.

Adam: Well, you’re the only one I’ve heard from, so I guess I’ll have to take your word for it. Maybe all my haters are reserving judgment to wait to see how I do on the mctavish deal.

Jack: Oh, speaking of mctavish, there is a binder on my desk with hard copies of all the information you’re gonna need.

Adam: You know that guy?

Jack: He is a thorn in my side I can’t wait to get rid of.

Adam: Is it personal or is it business?

Jack: Personal. Someone diane used to know and had hoped to forget.

Summer: So, your plan is in motion?

Diane: It is. When I talked to jeremy yesterday, I made it clear that I wanted to rekindle our relationship, and that way he’ll think we’re getting back together and he will leave the abbotts alone.

Kyle: I’m still not crazy about this idea. It seems too dangerous.

Diane: Your father and i think it’s the best way to neutralize him.

Summer: And he bought that you want to get back together with him as a couple?

Diane: I know jeremy well enough to know that this is a game to him. He’s intrigued by it, and he thinks he’s in the power position, but actually I’m the one calling the shots.

Kyle: I am impressed by your strength, but you know you don’t have to keep up the act around us. This has to be taking a toll on you. I mean, did you even sleep last night?

Diane: A little. Enough. Look, I appreciate what you’re saying, but this whole thing depends on me convincing jeremy that I want to be with him. If I let my guard down, even for a moment —

[ Cellphone pings ]

[ Sighs ] It’s him. He wants to meet with me now.

Sally: I am so glad to see you.

Chloe: I’m sorry I didn’t make it back last night. I hit up a couple stores, but they were closed early because of the holiday, and then kevin called. Miles was wired. Bella wouldn’t go back to sleep until I got home. And then I called you, but it went to voicemail. So…that’s my story.

Sally: Yeah. I-I-I didn’t even hear my phone ring. I didn’t think I was gonna be able to get any rest last night, but I totally passed out in my clothes.

Chloe: Well, that’s what anxiety does. It’s exhausting. But the good news is… I got what you wanted. Your pregnancy test.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Thank you so much. You are a life-saver. I… man, I really hope this puts an end to my anxiety.

Chloe: Fingers crossed.

Sally: You’re gonna stay with me while I take this test, right?

Chloe: Of course. Whatever you need.

Sally: Okay. Thank you.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Door closes ]

Chloe: Nick.

Nick: Hey, chloe. Didn’t expect to see you here this morning. I guess we both wanted to know how sally was doing. Hope she got over that bug. Where is she? -What’s he doing? -He’s cleaning the trash cans.

Sharon: Good morning!

Mariah: Hi! Good morning. Good to see you.

Sharon: Mwah! You too. Thanks for having me.

Mariah: Thank you so much for meeting us for breakfast today.

Sharon: Well, it’s nice to get out of the coffeehouse. I feel like that’s the only place I ever go.

[ Laughter ]

Tessa: Well, you did so much for everyone at christmas. We felt like we should buy you some french toast.

Sharon: Ah, you girls are so sweet.

Mariah: I have to say, though, I am sort of surprised that you wanted to come here so close to new year’S.

Sharon: Because this is where rey and I had our new year’s eve wedding.

Mariah: Yeah. I just — I didn’t want it to bring up any bad memories for you.

Sharon: Well, I don’t have any bad memories of our wedding. We exchanged our vows right over here. And there’s where we celebrated our one-year anniversary. I may — I don’t know — shed a tear, but I have only happy memories of our wedding. This place makes me happy. I don’t want to run away from that. I want to embrace those memories, and I’m really glad that you girls are here to help me do that.

Adam: Well, you seem very protective of diane.

Jack: Well, she’s kyle’s mother. She’s harrison’s grandmother. That seems reason enough to want to look after her well-being.

Adam: I don’t know, jack. It seems like there’s a little more to it than that. I mean, who is this guy on the patio? Is this an old flame or —

Jack: You know what? No, this guy doesn’t even matter. No, the point is, diane has made the sacrifice. She’s done the work to build a new life for herself. That’s to be admired. That’s to be protected.

Adam: Wow. Wow. How did she get you to forgive her completely? I mean, that’s — that’s no small task.

Jack: Why do you ask? You’re just curious?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Um…let’s say I’m — I’m asking for a friend.

Jack: So, this is just a case study for you. You’re wondering what her strategy is. Well…it wasn’t easy. She was completely forthright. She acknowledged her sins. She admitted her regrets. She did her penance.

Adam: Hmm. Wow, your capacity to forgive, it’s — it’s pretty admirable, jack.

Jack: I’m sure some would say it’s a weakness.

Adam: No, I — not to me. I mean, if it wasn’t for your forgiveness, I wouldn’t be here. So I’m grateful to you, jack. I just… you know, I worry about you.

Jack: Worry about me? Why?

Adam: I don’t want to see you get hurt. I think it’s notable that you have chosen to forgive diane, but you couldn’t do the same with phyllis or sally.

Jack: Oh, no, the situations aren’t even comparable. Look, my — my friendship with sally — and that’s all it ever was — was short. It was — it was a moment in the grand scheme of things. My history with phyllis [Sighs] Was epic and exhausting, a long road strewn with broken promises and heartbreak after many, many second chances. No, I can’t — can’t spend any more energy making myself vulnerable to her. It’s a one-way ticket to disappointment.

Adam: And yet you find diane trustworthy.

Jack: I have seen diane work hard to be a better person. I’ve seen her change. She needs someone to back her up. And I’m the one to do it.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Diane: I’ll be fine. Believe me, I can handle jeremy stark. And jack will be there, so there’s really no need to worry.

Kyle: Yeah, that’s easy to say, but I can think of a couple dozen reasons.

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ] Then wish me luck.

Summer: We’ll be waiting to hear from you and jack.

Diane: We’ll be sure and give you the details.

[ Sighs ] You have a visitor.

Phyllis: You’re back. Did you ever leave?

Diane: I don’t have time for this.

Phyllis: What’s going on? Trelegy for copd.

Sharon: Rey’s mom was so protective of that recipe.

Mariah: I think she was more protective of rey.

Sharon: You know, that may be. It felt like an honor that she trusted me with it. But I followed that recipe precisely! I made two platters of tamales!

Tessa: What happened?

Sharon: Rey took one bite, and his eyes got so big. He was like a cartoon character. It took him like five minutes to swallow.

Tessa: Oh, no!

Sharon: And, you know, he tried to pretend that they were edible, but it was a total disaster. I couldn’t even eat one of them. And to this day, I have no idea what I did wrong. But rey just said, you know, i needed some practice and we’ll work on it together.

Mariah: Well, he loved you for trying.

Sharon: He did.

Tessa: Rey was the best. To rey.

Mariah: To rey.

Sharon: To rey.

Mariah: You know, we should all follow rey’s example when we are trying to experiment in the kitchen.

Tessa: Yes. Positivity and patience.

Sharon: Two words to live by.

[ Cellphone vibrating ]

Mariah: Uh, no, it’s — it’s not her.

Sharon: Not who?

Mariah: Delphine.

Sharon: The woman who’s considering you as parents for her child?

Mariah: Yep, that’s right.

Sharon: She sent a sonogram to you on christmas day.

Tessa: Yeah, but we haven’t heard anything since.

Sharon: Oh. Well, her message said she was looking forward to meeting you. What happened?

Mariah: We don’t know. And we’re not sure what that means.

Sally: [ Breathes deeply ]

[ Exhales heavily ]

Chloe: [ Loudly ] Yes, she’ll be out in a minute, nick.

Nick: I hope she’s feeling better. How’d she seem to you?

[ Door closes ]

Sally: Hi. Hi. Nice to see you.

Nick: Nice to see you, too. How’s your new year treating you?

Sally: Uh, so far, so good. Yeah, the soup and the ginger ale really did the trick. I feel like I could run a marathon. But I won’t, though, ’cause, you know, it’s far too cold.

Nick: Good. Maybe we could get together for a bite or something.

Sally: I would love that, but this bug made me fall behind on my work.

Chloe: It’s true. We are, you know — we’re — we’re just really busy. We’ve got a lot to catch up on, and I don’t want to point any fingers at who’s responsible, but…

Nick: What did I do?

Sally: Will you quit monopolizing my business partner’s time? Can you not tell how busy we are?

Nick: Okay, okay, I can take a hint.

Chloe: That wasn’t really a hint. I was just two seconds from telling you to get the hell out of here.

Nick: Really good at taking obvious hints. Got it. Um… maybe I’ll call you later.

Sally: We’ll talk this afternoon.

[ Sighs heavily ] Thank you so much. I probably do not tell you that enough.

Chloe: No, you don’T. And you’re welcome.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

[ Exhales heavily ]

Chloe: All we can do now is wait.

Phyllis: I thought your mom left town because she was scared to death of jeremy stark. I mean, that’s what you told me. Have you guys been hiding her?

Kyle: I don’t think any of this is your business.

Phyllis: Oh. It’s not my business that you’ve been lying to me and everybody else in town? Why don’t you just say you want to protect your mom?

Summer: Mom, can we please not talk about this right now?

Phyllis: Okay. When you want to talk about it?

Summer: You came here for a reason, right? What was it?

Adam: Everything alright?

Jack: Yeah, everything’s fine. My next appointment just got bumped up.

Adam: Uh, well, I think we covered everything, right?

Jack: Yeah, you’ve got that mctavish meeting to get ready for.

Adam: Uh-huh. I think I have a handle on it, so I’ll give you an update later.

Jack: Good to see you.

Adam: Good to see you.

Jack: Stark.

Jeremy: Jack. Didn’t want to disturb you and your friend. But I’m so glad we have a chance to chat. I was wondering when I was gonna see you again. You did promise that second payment, incentivize me to leave town.

Jack: I did. It’s taken a little longer to get that much cash together.

Jeremy: Is that right?

Jack: It is the holiday. I think you know I’m good for it.

Jeremy: Sure. I understand. Don’t put yourself out.

Jack: I didn’t take you for a patient man.

Jeremy: I’m not. I just don’t think I have much interest in your offer anymore.

Jack: Whoa, whoa, whoa. What does that mean?

Jeremy: Things have changed.

Jack: Wait, we had a deal, an agreement.

Jeremy: A deal? A notarized, signed contract? I don’t remember that.

Jack: You don’t say “things changed.” That’s not enough. What changed?

Diane: I changed, jack. I came back for him. (Vo) red lobster’s finer points of fun dining:

Nick: Hey, dad. Where’s vick?

Victor: Hey, son. She and your mother are having a breakfast meeting with marketing.

Nick: Alright. I’ll stop by later, then.

Victor: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute. Is that it?

Nick: Yeah. Why?

Victor: Just that you… seemed to have a lot to say about adam and sally spectra the other day.

Nick: Well, you didn’t exactly hold back.

Victor: Oh, did you think i would?

Nick: No, but I’m not proud that I lost my temper the way i did. Sorry about that.

Victor: I appreciate that. And I’m sorry for having told you about the dossier that i compiled on sally spectra, you know? But, yeah, son, I just want you to be successful and happy and all that, you know? And sometimes I guess I don’t know how to go about ensuring that.

Nick: Well, you could just let me figure it out on my own.

Victor: Oh.

[ Chuckles ] I never thought of that. So… being a father ain’t easy sometimes, is it? Hmm? I just am having conflicts with your brother, and I don’t want to have another one with you.

Jack: Wait, you came back to him?

Diane: Jack, you need to understand —

Jack: When did you come back to town?

Diane: Yesterday.

Jack: And you reached out to him? Not me? Not your son?

Diane: Could you just listen? This is the right thing to do. I was scared, and so I ran off. And I shouldn’t have done that. I left you to clean up the mess I made, just like I did all those years ago. You know, I understand that you offered to pay jeremy off again?

Jack: Yes, that’s right. I did.

Diane: Well, you shouldn’t have to pay for my behavior.

Jack: Oh, now you’re taking the high road.

Diane: No, I’m trying to make things right. Reconnecting with you and kyle and — and meeting harrison has meant so much to me. But you all need to move on without me. I don’t want to hurt anyone anymore.

Jack: You don’t think this is cowardly and hurtful?

Diane: And I don’t want you to worry about jeremy. We left a lot unresolved when our relationship ended.

Jack: You mean when he was arrested and imprisoned?

Diane: That’s right. But he knows now that I had nothing to do with that.

Jeremy: Diane feels it’s time for us to reconnect.

Jack: You can’t be serious.

Diane: We have a complex history that I don’t think you’ll ever understand.

Jack: No, you’re damn right. I will never understand that.

Diane: But this is my life and my decision, and I’m asking you to stay out of it.

Phyllis: So, diane’s supposed to be gone, but she’s still here. Do you not see a pattern? She was dead. She turned out very alive.

[ Chuckles ] You want to keep the spotlight on me? Is that what you want to do?

Summer: It’s not like that, mom. I promise you.

Phyllis: It really is, but it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter. That’s not [Sighs] Why I came here. Um… I didn’t like how we left things, so I just wanted to talk to you about it.

Summer: Neither do I. I hate all of this negativity between us.

Phyllis: I do, too. I do, too. And, um, I — I thought about all the reasons you fired me from marchetti. I just went over it and over it, and, um…

[ Voice breaking ] I just want you to know I came to terms with it.

Kyle: You have?

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. Yeah. I totally understand.

Summer: Mom, that’s a relief. I know that you are gonna be so much happier working with daniel, and I just feel like a little bit of space from all of this — it’s gonna be healthier for all of us.

Phyllis: You know what? To be clear, though… it wasn’t just me, okay? It wasn’t just me. All the hostility and animosity, your mom was with me all the way, okay? And I had my doubts about her. I had my doubts and suspicions that she was hiding something. And it turns out I was right.

Kyle: We’re aware she left out pieces of information.

Phyllis: “Pieces of information.” Okay. That’s a sweet way to say it. Your safety and well-being is all I cared about. Okay? So, it’s all good. It’s all fine, okay? Um…so I don’t work with you anymore. And I understand. And I just got — whew — so tired of fighting and being the lone voice against diane. And I think it’s just best for all of us that, um, I’m not at marchetti anymore. So, um, I felt really good about that. I felt so good about this… until I walked in this room just now. Listen, I’m done settling. Because this is my secret.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Phyllis: Seeing diane here just now — that’s a punch to the gut. Neither of you have denied that you’ve been hiding her. I guess it’s hard now to look me in the eye when you were deceiving me, right?

Kyle: Okay, there’s no point in trying to figure out who told the most lies or who’s most at fault.

Phyllis: Yeah, I don’t want to do that.

Kyle: You came here with good intentions, so let’s just try to stay on that path.

Phyllis: Sure, let’s stay on that path. Okay. So, um, you’re both mad at me that I lured jeremy stark into town, right? He’s a criminal. He would have come looking for diane whether I got in touch with him or not. He wanted to know who ratted him out, and he would have found her. So, if diane really wanted to protect the family, she would have left and she would have stayed away. But she didn’t do that. She’s still playing the victim. She’s putting every single member of this family in danger, including harrison.

Summer: You don’t know the whole story, mom.

Phyllis: You know, I don’t know the whole story, and i don’t care. I know this is killing you, summer.

[ Voice breaking ] I know you, and I know this is killing you. We didn’t spend christmas together.

Summer: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: I didn’t even hear from you. I didn’t get to see harrison open any of the gifts that i got him. You said you were having an abbott family christmas, and i believed you. Were you with diane? Wow. I mean, your brother’s here. You haven’t seen him in, like, forever. We didn’t spend any time together, the three of us. I get it. Listen, I don’t want to go on and on about this. I understand what’s going on. Diane is calling the shots, and you’re both allowing her.

Jack: Wow, you are something. All this talk about changing, and you’re taking off with this criminal?

Diane: It’s what’s best for everyone.

Jack: Is he forcing you to do this? Did — did you threaten her?

Diane: No one’s forcing me to do anything. This was my decision.

Jack: If you think you’re gonna pick up where you left off with this man after taking his money, you are a fool.

Jeremy: Hey, hey, hey. Now, that’s enough. You heard her. She’s no longer your concern.

Jack: Okay, fine. I will go. If anything you do harms any member of my family, there will be hell to pay!

Jeremy: Are you threatening her?

Jack: Fine. I’m done. I wash my hands of you. That’s your problem now. And you stay away from my son and my grandson. You hear me?

Nick: I don’t want to fight with you either, dad. I hate it. There’s no reason to let this situation linger. There is a very simple solution to end it.

Victor: What’s that?

Nick: Just let me live my life. Stay out of my personal relationships. If I’m gonna make a mistake, then let me make it. There are gonna be things and people that we just don’t agree on. It’s inevitable. But if we accept it and move on, things will be a lot better for us.

Victor: Well, my boy, you don’t expect me not to care about you or victoria or adam or abby. I’m your father, and because I’m your father, I can’t stop caring about you. You understand that, don’t you?

Sally: I mean, the test is gonna be negative, right? And then we’re just gonna laugh about how I got worked up over nothing.

Chloe: It might happen like that.

Sally: Okay. That did not sound very convincing. Do you think it’s gonna be positive? What am I gonna do then?

Chloe: Those are all really good questions, but I think the most important question is, who is the father, adam or nick?

Sally: I really cannot think about that right now.

Chloe: Okay, well, this level of anxiety is really not good for you. So you need to just calm down.

Sally: Okay, well, you’re the one who asked me who the father was.

Chloe: Okay. I was just trying to prepare you, not freak you out.

Sally: I am freaked out, chloe, okay? The uncertainty of it all.

Chloe: Well, there’s only one way to fix it. And it’s time.

Sally: [ Breathes deeply ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Door opens ]

Chloe: Sally? What is it? – Bedtime!! – Bedtime.

Tessa: We are still hopeful.

Mariah: We’re just trying to keep our hopes in check because we’ve had the rug pulled out from under us before.

Tessa: So, we are up for anything, and we are gonna keep trying no matter what.

Mariah: I mean, the sonogram that delphine sent us — it made a huge impact because, you know, the baby isn’t just a concept anymore. She’s real, and she’s beautiful.

Tessa: Yeah. It’s hard not to take it as a good sign.

Sharon: Well, I’m here to do whatever I can. I’d like to help.

Nick: Good morning. Happy new year.

Sharon: Hey!

Tessa: Oh, hello!

Sharon: Are you meeting someone?

Nick: No. Just solo.

Sharon: Okay. Well, why don’t you sit with us?

Nick: Well, you are three of my favorite people, but I don’t want to intrude.

Mariah: Nick, sit.

Nick: Wow. You are getting bossy.

Tessa: Oh, no, she’s always been bossy. What?

[ Laughter ]

Sharon: So, how’s 2023 treating you so far?

Nick: Good. Um, I think sally’s feeling better, so I’m probably gonna see her later. And I just had a conversation with my dad that wasn’t combative.

Sharon: [ Gasps ]

Mariah: Wow. Imagine that.

Nick: Right? As far as I’m concerned, we’re off to a great start.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Wrong building?

Victor: [ Chuckles ] Right.

Adam: You know, if you’re looking for ashley, she might be down in the lab.

Victor: No, son, I’m looking for you.

Adam: What do you want?

Victor: I want to talk to you about connor.

Adam: Okay.

Victor: I know you don’t want the boy to live at the ranch full time, but I hope that you grant me and nikki a lot of visits with the boy.

Adam: Mm-hmm. I see.

Victor: You know he loves it at the ranch. You know that, don’t you?

Adam: I know. I know his grandparents are an important part of his life, so I’ll talk to chelsea. We’ll work out a schedule.

Victor: Ah.

Adam: I’ll handle it, so you don’t need to bother her.

Victor: You seem rather protective of chelsea.

Adam: I’m just looking out for her.

Victor: Are you trying to rekindle your relationship with her now that you and sally spectra are no longer an item?

Diane: I wasn’t prepared for a scene with jack like that. He’s normally so buttoned up and composed.

Jeremy: He was emotionally invested. It was inevitable.

Diane: You’re probably right. Better to get it out of the way now.

Jeremy: It was all very convincing.

Diane: What do you mean?

Jeremy: You. You were so passionate, determined to be with me.

Diane: Because I am.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] It was one hell of a performance.

Diane: What are you saying?

Jeremy: I’m gonna need more solid proof that you’re on my side.

Diane: I’ve already told you how I feel. What more can I do for you?

Jeremy: I’m just gonna put you to the test.

Summer: Mom, wait. Please don’t go. Let’s just try to figure this out. I love you so much.

Phyllis: Hey, listen, babe. I love you. I love you. That’ll never change, okay? That’s why this kills me, okay?

[ Door closes ] Look at this — the icing on the cake.

[ Scoffs ] You’re gonna regret this. I guarantee it.

[ Door closes ]

Jack: Summer, are you alright? What did we interrupt?

Summer: Jack, you know my mom and I are having some difficulties right now. We’re just not seeing eye to eye. I don’t want to talk about it.

Kyle: I think we would rather hear about how things went on your end.

Jack: I guess it went alright.

Diane: Yeah, he bought it, which is what we were hoping. And he wants to give me a loyalty test.

Kyle: What test?

Diane: I don’t know. But this is phase two of our plan, and we can use this to turn the tables on him.

Adam: It’s 100% none of your business, but chelsea and I are not getting back together.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Adam: And I would never use her as some sort of consolation prize because sally and I are over. I get it.

Victor: You get what?

Adam: Why you’re so concerned with my personal life. Now that nicholas is with sally, I’m sure you wish we never broke up. Hell, you might even have been supportive of our relationship if you had known she was gonna be with the golden boy.

Victor: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: It’s funny how one’s perspective can change so quickly.

Victor: I primarily came here because I wanted to ask you to make sure that nikki and I can continue seeing connor every so often, okay?

Adam: Mm.

Victor: But having said that, I got to be honest with you. I truly wish that both of my boys — you and nicholas — had been involved with someone other than sally spectra. You have a nice day.

[ Door opens ]

Nick: I know it’s gonna happen for you eventually. It may not happen this time, but it will happen. I promise. And I know the two of you are just gonna be the best mothers ever.

Mariah: Thank you. And I’m sorry for being so bossy earlier.

Nick: Oh, no, it’s all good. It’s one of the reasons why i think you’re gonna be such a great mom.

Tessa: [ Laughs ]

[ Cellphone vibrates ]

Mariah: It’s delphine.

Tessa: Hmm? Okay, well, we’re prepared for anything, remember?

Mariah: Okay. Um… she says she’s sorry about not texting sooner. She wants to meet tomorrow.

Tessa: Okay, well, tell her that we’ll book the plane tickets, like, right now.

[ Both laugh ]

Mariah: I know that she hasn’t said yes yet, but this is the farthest that we have gotten. And it just — it means so much. This could be our baby.

[ Both laugh ]

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Chloe: Sally, what does the test say?

Sally: A — a plus sign. It says I’m pregnant.

Chloe: Wow. Um… that’s huge. I like how you’re remaining so calm, but when you’re ready, if you want to talk…

Sally: Uh, it’s — it’s okay. You can go. I’m — I’m alright.

Chloe: You don’t want to deal with this?

Sally: I mean, there’s nothing to deal with. You know, my cycle’s unpredictable. I’m not — I’m not even really that late, and… I mean, this could be a false positive. The test isn’t reliable.

Chloe: It seems like you’re in denial.

Sally: No. No, that’s not what’s happening. Before, I was overreacting, and now I’m fine. Really. We — we have a lot of work to do, and — and I would really appreciate it if I could just have some time to refocus and get my head together.

[ Sighs ]

Chloe: Are you sure you want to be alone?

Sally: [ Sighs ] I’m okay. Thank you, chloe. I owe you.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Steffy: Oh, my god. Oh, my god, this is insane. Your arm, it’s around sheila. You’re acting like this is the most normal thing in the world.

Bill: Do as I say and things will be normal again. You and finn will have your lives back. Taylor will maintain her freedom, and sheila and i will go on with our lives, together.

Sheila: I know what a shock this must be to you, sweetheart, to find out about the two of us like this.

Finn: How did you two even get together?

Sheila: Some– sometimes love just finds its way.

Steffy: Oh, my god, enough of this. I am not hearing this anymore. You! You are horrible. Despicable. What kind of number has she done on you, bill? We’re not letting her get away scot free.

Bill: That’s exactly what you’re going to do.

Steffy: Excuse me?

Bill: No one is pressing charges against sheila. Unless you want your mother going to jail too.

Steffy: You’re blackmailing me? Threatening my mother’s freedom?

Liam: Okay. If this wig belongs to sheila carter like we think.

Wyatt: And this earring. And what was she doing in dad’s house? And how the hell did she even get in here? I mean, there’s a guard at the front gate, 24/7. There’s the additional security driving around.

Liam: Also, she’s totally psycho, so what on earth does she want with our father?

Wyatt: I don’t know. But he could be kidnapped right now. Or even worse, he could be dead. We need to call the cops.

Liam: Okay, well, hold on. We don’t– we don’t know anything yet. Can we just– can we just, like, search around and see if we find anything that gives us a clue what– what’s going on–

Wyatt: What are you talking about? We both know that dad has not been in a good place.

Liam: Okay. Can we maybe not go here right now? Just once, I’m just– fine.

Wyatt: What if we’re right and he’s at that whack job’s mercy right now?

Liam: Just look around. Look around. I’m going to talk to tony at the front gate, find out what he knows.

Wyatt: Fine.

Liam: Fine.

Wyatt: Fine.

Liam: All right, thank you. Anything?

Wyatt: Dad’s car is gone.

Liam: Yeah, I know, tony at the gate confirmed.

Wyatt: Well, did he say anything else? Was he with anyone? A woman?

Liam: No, he couldn’t say because it’s dad and, you know, dad and his tinted windows. Oh, get this, though. When I asked him about the security footage, he said the whole system was down because of the storm and the backup.

Wyatt: No, no, no. I don’t like this. I don’t like this at all. No, we called the office. We called dad. We left messages. Something is not right here. More and more, my gut is telling me that–

Liam: Wherever dad is, sheila is.

Sheila: Steffy, would you please just listen? Just do as he says.

Steffy: Shut up! Shut up! I don’t want to hear another word from you. You’ve done enough damage.

Bill: Something she has paid for repeatedly by being ostracized by everyone.

Steffy: Bill, listen to me. You can’t defend sheila. She is incapable of loving. She shot me. She is beyond dangerous. You know that. I know you wanted things to work out with brooke and with katie. It didn’T. And you felt alienated in other relationships. Relationships that were important to you. I get– I get how you’re hurt, but being involved with a sociopath, standing up for a woman who put a bullet in me, who put a bullet in her own son! She tried to kill li. I mean, li couldn’t even speak at first because she was so traumatized. Traumatized by sheila. You need to wake up. Sheila is a threat to anyone who gets close to her. You are going to prison. Oh, you thought– you thought you could latch on to another man, a very powerful man. And you thought it’d make everything all right. Bill, tell her. Tell her she’s wrong. Tell me you’re not standing up for her. Tell sheila this is the end of the road.

Steffy: Bill, she’s using you.

Bill: You’re not understanding what sheila has come to mean to me.

Steffy: Oh, she’s really gotten to you, hasn’t she?

Bill: We’ve been living together. I’ve seen a side of sheila that few ever do.

Steffy: Do you hear yourself right now? Do you even know what you’re saying?

Bill: I know that everyone has turned their backs on sheila as they have me. She’s been abandoned. So have I. Not that I didn’t give the people in my life good reason. I drove them away because I hurt them, but as I said, in sheila, I have found a woman that I can’t hurt.

Finn: What about the pain she will cause you? Bill, the damage she’s already doing.

Sheila: Bill and I are like two sides of the same coin. We understand one another. We know each other’s needs and desires. And I accept him as he is. Just as he accepts me for who I am.

Steffy: Who she is will wind up destroying you, bill. She will do to your life what she’s done to so many others. How many times do you need to hear that before you wake up?

Bill: The terms of my deal remain the same. Sheila’s freedom for taylor’s freedom. And one more thing. Not a word about my involvement with sheila to anyone. This remains strictly between the four of us. No one else. Let’s go home, sheila.

Steffy: Bill. Bill! Bill, don’t– don’t you do this! No, don’t you do this! Bill!

Baker: Sheila carter’s in your father’s house?

Liam: Well, we’re certain that she was. She’s not now.

Wyatt: Yeah and neither is our dad.

Liam: But we’re worried, you know. Like, what if she kidnapped him?

Wyatt: Or worse.

Baker: What about bill’s private jet? Any activity in the last few hours?

Wyatt: Oh, my god, we hadn’t even thought about that. No, you wait, you think she’s going to try and leave the country and maybe force dad to make that happen?

Baker: Anything’s possible, especially when you’re as desperate as sheila is. That’s why I want you both to leave the premises immediately. My men and i will handle this. Your father will be found, and with any luck, sheila will be in custody tonight.

Steffy: I can’t believe bill. He’s– he’s lost his mind.

Finn: I mean, did he really say that he and sheila have been living together?

Steffy: Yes.

Finn: I don’t get it. Why would sheila turn to bill when he outed her to the police before? I mean, you’d think that she would be livid, want revenge. But instead, they’re involved.

Steffy: It’s crazy. Somehow, sheila ends up making the impossible possible.

Finn: I still need to hear how it happened.

Steffy: About sheila and bill, I don’t want to talk about it.

Finn: No, about bill and your mother. Why did taylor shoot him?

Finn: Bill’s blackmailing us. Your mother shot him. Why steffy? I need to know.

Steffy: It happened while I was married to liam. We were going through some things and so were bill and– and liam and I– I tried my best to repair their relationship. Bill was really grateful and then I found out that liam kissed another woman and I was just so– I was so hurt. I felt betrayed. I went to my grandfather’s guesthouse and I was just so angry and emotional and… then bill showed up and, um…

Finn: And what?

Steffy: I hate that it happened.

Finn: You and bill.

Steffy: It never should’ve happened. But my mom thought that he, um, that he took advantage of me and that’s why she shot him.

Bill: Want a fire?

Sheila: No thanks. The bourbon will warm me up. You know, this– this place has been a sanctuary to me, really a port in the storm. I– I– I don’t know how I’m ever going to adequately be able to thank you for all that you’ve done.

Bill: Works both ways. Being here with you. Someone who understands me. A woman who truly understands me. Who would’ve thought?

Sheila: Yeah, but you know what? It goes both ways. A man that truly cares for me. A man who was willing to risk so much for me. You know, you say that you’ve hurt so many people over the years and that you could never do that to me, and that might be true. I– I can’t even imagine a scenario where anything like that would happen. Let alone me doing something to hurt you, after all the kindness you’ve shown me.

Bill: I think it’s time. It’s going to be a rough road for a bit, but in the end, you’ll have your freedom. Are you ready?

Sheila: Yeah.

Bill: This is bill spencer. Sheila carter is in my home. Hurry, she’s got to be apprehended. Hurry!

After advil.

Steffy: I never told you what happened with bill because it was one moment of weakness that I’ll always regret. But my mom is– she was wrong. Bill never took advantage of me, not like that.

Finn: So, it was consensual?

Steffy: Yes. If I’d been in a better frame of mind, if I wasn’t so upset, it… it never would’ve happened.

Finn: Yeah, but he played on your emotions.

Steffy: It was a long time ago, finn. A different lifetime. What happened is my past and what matters now is our future. We have each other and our family. That’s what’s important to me. I know learning this must be a shock to you, but I wasn’t purposely trying to keep it from you. I just never think about it. I never want us to think about it. Please don’t be upset with me.

Finn: No, I’m not upset with you. But bill should’ve known better because any halfway decent man would never have.

Steffy: I– I– I…

Finn: You’re my wife.

Steffy: I get it. I know. And I know you want to throttle bill for what happened. I get it. I know you love me and you care about me. And you feel like you need to protect me. I understand that. But I just want to make sure what happened with bill, it doesn’t– it doesn’t eat away at you or our marriage.

Finn: It won’T. I mean, I won’t let it. Thank you for opening up to me and telling the truth. I know it’s probably hard to talk about but, uh… god, it’s just bill, man. You know, the things that he does.

Steffy: Can we just focus on bill’s latest blackmail?

Finn: It’s unbelievable. Steffy, sheila can’t get away with this. We have to call the police.

Steffy: Believe me, I want that too. I want sheila in jail just as much as you, but there’s so much at stake. My mother’s future is at stake. I mean, the thought of her behind bars for years for shooting bill. She thought bill took advantage of me and she acted irrationally. She was a different person back then. But if bill goes through with this, I mean, I love my mom so much, the thought of gambling with her freedom. I just… I can’t do that. I can’t do that to my mother, finn.

Bill: Now, let’s go over this one more time just to make sure we are absolutely clear. I’m going to tell them that you showed up here desperately pleading your case. I shut you down and called the cops. That’s our story. Now, you’re going to be in jail for a bit, that’s a necessary step. I will then do everything in my power to get you out. And you will be a free woman again. And we can be together.

Sheila: You don’t know how much I’m counting on that. Oh, just get me out soon. I love you so much, bill. And don’t forget what this represents to you. The power. You take no prisoners. You win at all costs. I’m yours for life.

Baker: Nobody move! Stay right where you are!

Bill: Oh, thank god, you’re here. She– she showed up begging for help. I told her she was nuts and called you guys.

Sheila: Don’t do this. Don’t turn me in. Don’t–

Bill: Come on, take her.

Sheila: Stop!

Officer: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be provided for you.

Baker: Let’s go, sheila. This time, it really is over.
