MILF Manor on TLC

TV Article!

MILF Manor key art from TLC

In Defense of MILF Manor (Or is it Rubbish)? by Jonathon M.

There’s a new show on TLC called MILF Manor. I am the furthest thing away from a reality TV watcher that you can find, but I’ll probably give this a watch. I’m a sucker for hot guys.

Let’s do some thought experiments:

What do you think that the reaction would be if the gender roles were reversed? I am guessing that certain groups of activists would have something to say. But nobody cares about much younger guys being in such a situation. I am not lecturing, because I am eagerly going to watch. But it’s probably a double standard. I always take the approach that consenting adults can do what they want.

What if everyone was gay and male? I would actually like to see this. On a side note, most dating shows are heteronormitive. Although perhaps this would be less popular, since most people aren’t gay.

Perhaps you can make a case for this; it’s different.

I think that all reality TV shows are absolute garbage, so is this much different than the rest of the trash out there? I don’t think so.

Isn’t it time that older women who like younger guys got some representation in dating shows? OK, I’m making up absurd angles to justify this show’s existence. It’s fun to do this!

This concept probably generates TLC some publicity. Fewer news articles would be written about a dating show about similarly aged heterosexual couples.

There’s a twist, but I don’t know what it is yet. I’m just assuming it’s each other’s sons who are participating. Meh, as long as there’s no incest, then I don’t really see a problem. Again, this would be done to stir up controversy, and gain publicity.

Update written by Barbara

At Crimson Lights, Phyllis is distracted while Daniel tries tries to get her to prepare a top notch tech team for his gaming platform. Choking back tears, she tells him she is upset because Summer chose Diane over her. Daniel decides to let Phyllis know about his conversation with Summer and what Summer told him about being in the middle of her mother and Kyle’s mother.

Daniel also lets Phyllis know that Summer feels there’s Diane’s presence in all of their lives poses a risk, due to Diane’s association with a criminal. Daniel urges Phyllis to reach out to her daughter. Phyllis decides he’s right, and heads to the Abbott house to find Summer and make amends with her.

Meanwhile, at the Abbott house, Diane is having second thoughts about stealing from Nikki. Jack mentions that Nikki is the ideal victim and urges Diane to move ahead with the plan.

When Ashley comes into the living room, she angrily mentions that Diane and Jack are “conspiring”. Diane says that she doesn’t want to come between Ashley and Jack, which causes Ashley to storm out of the house. She goes over to Tucker’s suite at The Grand Phoenix. Apologizing for showing up unannounced, Ashley complaining vigorously that Diane is basically around all the time and has “infected” her family “like a virus.”

Tucker and Ashley start flirting, and land in bed. Smiling in the afterglow, Ashley admits to Tucker how she hates that she loves this and does not consider it evidence that things between them will work. Tucker realizes he shouldn’t push it and goes to take a shower. This gives Ashley the opportunity to look through some of his files.

One of them is a set of plans for a company named Ashley Abbott Beauty Incorporated, another is all of Jabot’s financial information. Tucker catches Ashley snooping tells her that what she found was an “exploratory” way of making a connection with her before he came to town. Tucker mentions that Ashley completely changed his agenda and tells Ashley that he knows she’s aware that’s happening between them is real.

After Devon gets information from his source that connects Audra and Tucker, he summons Audra to Chancellor-Winters. Lily is there when Devon confronts Audra and accuses her of being a traitor. Devon lets Audra know he’s aware that her phone’s text tone is the same as the one on Tucker’s phone, so clearly the two of them have been in cohoots.

In addition, Devon tells Audra he found out that the company with the name of the first song Tucker ever produced paid off her student loans. Audra admits that she knows Tucker, but denies that anything shady is going on and tries to keep the Chancellor-Winters IPO moving forward. Lily speaks up, declaring that Audra is fired, and suggests that Devon have security escort Audra off the premises. Audra tries one final time for Devon to allow her to keep her job, but he won’t won’t back down. Any and all trust between Devon and Audra is broken.

After Audra makes a vague reference to the possibility of going to work for the competition, Devon reminds her that she signed a NDA she signed and tells her that if she violates it, she’ll end up in court by the end of the day. As Audra leaves, she tells Devon that it’s his loss. She also makes a snide remark about him being a poor judge of character because he keeps letting “foxes into the hen house.” She mentions his cousin, his father and now her, and tells him he has been played more than once.

Audra goes over to Society, where she runs into Nate at the bar. She tells him that she’s there to celebrate. She proposes a toast because she has moved on from Chancellor-Winters. She says that she is about to start on her next adventure. Nate wonders why she left Chancellor-Winters before the company goes public, and Audra tells him that that everything is in order for the IPO and they don’t need for what comes next. She does not let on that she did not leave Chancellor-Winters of her own volition, that she was fired.

Nate mentions that he could use a COO at Newman Media, and she’d be a potentially good fit for the position. He lets her know that if she’s interested, she can throw her hat in the ring. He also tells her, however, that he can’t promise her anything. Audra says that she finds the situation intriguing and tells Nate to consider her hat tossed.

Devon bangs on the door to Tucker’s suite and interrupts Tucker’s time with Ashley. After Devon announces that any relationship that he had with Tucker is over, he lets Tucker know he’s aware that Audra was a plant at Tucker at Chancellor-Winters for Tucker. Devon accuses Tucker of trying to scoop up a controlling interest in the company before it would go public.

Tucker tries to explain, but Devon rages about how Tucker’s talk is “BS on top of BS” and lets him know hat Audra was fired from Chancellor-Winters. He adds that Tucker will no longer have access to his him, to his son and now that Audra’s out of the picture he won’t have access to anything relating to the family company.

Devon accuses himself of self-interest and greed. Tucker tells Devon that he’s misunderstanding the circumstances and is dangerously close to crossing the line with him. Devon is aghast that Tucker would even say something like this in light of all the lying he has done. He strongly

Devon lets him know that after what has transpired, he will make sure there’s no one in town who will ever defend Tucker for the rest of his life. He strongly suggests that Tucker leave Genoa City that night. After Devon storms out, Ashley, who witnessed the altercation, tells Tucker that she never trusted Tucker anyway, and sleeping with him and seemingly enjoying it was all an act.

She adds that she happened to be in the right place at the right time to witness what she did between Devon and Tucker, so she has seen the kind of person Tucker can be. However, after leaving Tucker’s suite, Ashley pauses in the hall, looking sad and pensive. Tucker slams his door and hurls a bunch of papers across the room.

Lily goes to Crimson Lights, where she bumps into Daniel. He asks how she’s doing and she references a work crisis that she didn’t see coming. She adds that she doesn’t want to go home yet so Daniel and just wants to stay at the coffeehouse for awhile and “talk about things that don’t matter”. He agrees to hang out with her.

Meanwhile, Diane is at the Abbott house with Jack and lets him know that she has the desire to kiss him again and what she is feeling is not a hold over from years ago or about gratitude for how wonderful he has been to her since she got back to town. She tells him that what she feels now is different becauuse she is different.

Jack says that this is good to know and wonders why she is telling him now. She replies that it’s because she’s going to have a difficult time going through with their plan and pretend that she wants to spend time with Jeremy feeling the way she does about Jack. This leads to them kissing passionately.

When Phyllis shows up at the Abbott house, looking for Summer, before ringing the bell, she looks through the glass panes in the front door and sees Jack and Diane kissing. She leaves and winds up at the Glam Club sitting alone in misery. Tucker comes over with a drink in his hand, sits down next to her and mentions that she looks the way he feels. When Phyllis asks him how does she look and how does he feel, he replies by asking her if she’s ready to “burn it all down”.

Interview with Scott Caan and Dania Ramirez

Posted on January 8, 2023January 19, 2023 by TvMegasite Admin

TV Interview!

Scott Caan and Dania Ramirez, stars of "Alert" on FOX.

Interview with Scott Caan and Dania Ramirez of “Alert” on FOX by Suzanne 12/14/22

This was a fun panel with the two stars of this new procedural show, the show’s EP, and FOX’s President of Scripted Programming. The show might remind you a little bit of “Without a Trace,” the show that ran from 2002 to 2009. It was about another missing person’s unit. However, in this one, the two lead characters are divorced, mainly because their own son was taken. Then there are many twists and turns involving the son, as well as new cases that they solve. Check it out! It premieres tonight, January 8, after football on FOX.

NOTE: They’re now calling this show “Alert: Missing Persons Unit.”

FOX ENTERTAINMENT WINTER PRESS DAY

ALERT

John Eisendrath (Executive Producer)

Scott Caan

Dania Ramirez

Michael Thorn (President, Scripted Programming, FOX Entertainment)

Virtual via Zoom December 14, 2022

JAMIE FOXX: Hi, everybody. It’s Jamie Foxx here to introduce to you our brand new action drama on FOX called Alert. Set within the Philly Police Department of Missing Persons Unit, each episode explores the dark side of the City of Brotherly Love. It’s an intense race against the clock where every second counts, as it’s impossible not to fear the worst when a loved one has gone, either kidnapped or gone missing.

Bringing the action of Alert into dramatic focus is our incredible cast, Scott Caan and Dania Ramirez. Scott Caan returns to police procedurals as Jason Grant, who has to team up with his ex wife, Nikki Batista, played by Dania. Together, they will help others by saving lives and bringing criminals to justice while also facing their own quest to find out the truth about their long lost son.

You know what’s hurting me the worst? The fact that I cannot be there with you guys because of production schedules, but you’re in great hands because the cast is there and my right hand man, my executive producing partner John Eisendrath is going to take you through the whole thing. And last but not least, head of scripted television at FOX, my man, Michael Thorn.

So ladies and gentlemen, enjoy. But before we get started, here is Alert.

(Clip played.)

LES EISNER: Hello, everyone. Welcome back to the Alert panel. Joining us today are actors, Scott Caan and Dania Ramirez; creator, executive producer and showrunner John Eisendrath; and Michael Thorn of FOX Entertainment.

Let’s get right into it. Lots of questions coming in. So thank you.

QUESTION: Good morning. This is for Scott. After ten years on Hawaii 5 0, what was it about this series and this character that made you willing to recommit to the possibility of maybe another long, grueling schedule?

SCOTT CAAN: That’s a good question. I mean, there’s a lot of different reasons. I mean, I think this script was really special. I think that, you know, there’s a lot of a lot of procedurals kind of have a formula that I didn’t notice in this. This show has a real serialized piece of the show. It’s not just a procedural. But honestly, I don’t when I read things, I don’t think about what kind of a show it is. I just, you know, find if I can find something in myself that I can put into this character, then that’s what that’s what makes me decide I want to do something.

And also, you know, I I’m grateful to be given a job too. So I don’t I don’t do a lot of questioning when it comes to what kind of a show it is. I just like I said, I’m grateful to be hired, and, you know, I like to work. And I think that there’s a lot of there’s a lot of acting problems in this show that I enjoy, and there is a lot of things that make this show something that is different than anything out there. You know, the idea of finding your son after not knowing where he’s been for seven years, I don’t think that that’s an experience that anybody on the planet’s actually had. So to me, like I said, it’s an acting problem that I’ve never been faced with, it’s an acting problem that I’ve never read before. So to me, it’s something that I immediately felt uncomfortable and didn’t know exactly how I was going to approach it, and those are the kind of things that turn me on when it comes to digging into a part. If I get a little nervous and don’t quite know what I’m going to do yet, then that’s a good sign that I should probably move forward and do it. So I don’t know if that answered the question, but I could talk about that specifically for a very long time. But that’s my short answer.

DANIA RAMIREZ: I love watching him be uncomfortable, personally.

(Laughter.)

DANIA RAMIREZ: So it’s been really fun to act with him. One of those problems, I guess.

SCOTT CAAN: Yeah. Again, I don’t no, I was going to say, I don’t know if that answered the question enough, but that’s my short answer.

DANIA RAMIREZ: You were brilliant.

SCOTT CAAN: Thank you.

QUESTION: Hey, guys. Thanks for being here. John, first of all, welcome back to FOX.

Tell me about where these cases are coming from, because I’m guessing this is a world that you can really tap into. There’s so much going on, so many missing people. But can you talk about where you’re pulling your cases from for all the stories?

JOHN EISENDRATH: Well, there are a lot of cases that we can draw from if we chose to do just ripped from the headlines. We have yes, if you’ve seen episode 2, you know that there’s a story that has at its heart, is a story about fentanyl and the overuse of it and the scourge of fentanyl in America today, which I think is very topical. So some of the episodes are definitely ripped from the headlines, and some of them have that kind of connection to, I hope, what a lot of people are thinking about, talking about, and in some ways as a parent worried about for their kids. So some of it is that, and some of it is just based on what we think would make for just the most urgent, heart pounding case that we can think of and the ones that have the highest stakes. And, again, in that, one of the great things about a missing persons show is the range is, I think. larger than any other range of storytelling available in procedural TV. Some cases, people are taken and are desperate to be found; some cases, people are running away and are desperate not to be found. And that’s part of the mystery that our characters have to unpack each week. So some of it’s ripped from the headlines, and some of it is just what is just the coolest, most urgent, most desperate case we can think of.

MICHAEL THORN: One of the other things that John has done so successfully, we think, is in addition to that urgency, every single episode and the the cases are they’re deeply emotional because it involves a missing person. And I think, as Scott was saying in the beginning, one of the reasons it feels different than other procedurals is that emotional resonance, both in the cases and, of course, specifically in the family story between Scott and Dania’s family story. So it’s really compelling to have storytelling that hits both all of those buttons in an exciting way.

JOHN EISENDRATH: And I would just add that off of what Michael said, that it is true that a lot of the cases have are picked, in part, because of the way that they impact Scott and Dania’s characters as it relates to their own personal story. Again, episode 2, since you’ve watched it, as an example of a parent who’s facing the question of what would, in this case, she do if she came into a room with the person who’d killed her child. And that is a question that Scott’s character and Dania’s as well are both wrestling with. What would they do if they were ever put in a room with the person who took their child? And not only is that obviously an incredibly emotional story and question for the two of them who don’t agree on what they would do, but hopefully for the people who are watching the show too, they will ask themselves what would they do if they were ever in that situation.

QUESTION: Hi, everyone. Thanks so much for doing this. I will I have two questions, but I’ll start with Dania and Scott. Nikki and Jason, at least in the first episode, they talk a lot about kind of wanting to turn the page and move forward, but they’re really struggling with that gaping hole that their missing son has left in their lives. So how would you describe the state of the relationship at the start of the show after they’ve gone through kind of the six years of looking for Keith, and how does that dynamic kind of continue to evolve over the course of the season?

SCOTT CAAN: Do you want to go?

MICHAEL THORN: Good question.

DANIA RAMIREZ: I think that’s a great question, actually, because the dynamic absolutely changes and I think it evolves through the season. And where we were at at the beginning of you know, when you first meet us, I think we’re both having our son be missing for that having our son be missing for that long has connected us in ways that you can’t connect with anyone else. And I think the way that we we have a very authentic way of wanting to deal with the cases because of it; we have a very authentic way of how we relate to each other because of it. We also have a daughter that we coparent, and so we have to I think we found a very comfortable place in which we relate to one another throughout the entire season, and we grow and evolve our relationship because we also become partners, as you know from watching episodes 1 and 2.

So I think there’s also a lot of room for wit and humor when you really know someone for that long. And, you know, me knowing also Scott prior to doing the project and getting to know him even more doing it, as Nikki and Jason continues, we get to — to deal with the issues of being parents together, coparenting together, and then having to deal with the loss of their child, I think opens up a lot of connection moments for connection between both of us but also allows us to really feel like we’re there for one another. I love that part of the show as well, because we are really both we meet each other with love and understanding. And that’s something that I don’t think that you’ve ever I’ve ever seen portrayed in television as beautifully as we do on this show, where you have two people who have to deal with having to move forward and go through a divorce but still feel that there’s a lot of love there at home and at work.

SCOTT CAAN: Yeah. You know, also one of my favorite things about starting something new, I mean, when it works out, there’s nothing better than getting to know somebody and have that show up on screen. There’s stuff that we don’t plan, and there’s stuff that have nothing to do with the story that exists between us. And as we get you know, get to know each other more, that stuff, you it can’t help but show up on screen. And to me, that’s that’s the most fun, and we hit it off immediately, and our relationship — you know, the first two scenes we did, I was like, All right, we got this.

You know, and we have we have this bond and whatever it is, and I think that that’s when it comes to a show like this, I think that’s one of the most important things that two people you’re kind of watching what we do in the show, and you’re also kind of watching our relationship, you know, off camera. Because, like I said, you can’t you can’t hide from that stuff, you know? It’s I mean, it’s great.

DANIA RAMIREZ: We have a great relationship on and off camera, but I think we also have found different ways of dealing you know, nobody’s perfect, and I think the fact that these the two characters are flawed, but also us as people are flawed. There’s nothing better than to, like, have find a common ground where you look at the person that you’re with all the time and you’re like, “Okay. Well, today your day was to do this, and maybe today I was” “I made you laugh.” And to have that sort of, like, dual relationship on and off set and you know, when the cameras are on and when the cameras are off, really makes for an incredible experience and a journey to take the audience on, you know?

JOHN EISENDRATH: I would just add to that that I think a lot of TV is wish fulfillment. You know, you’re watching the characters, and you want to sort of imagine that you could live that type of life. And I had hoped that we could portray in Dania and Scott’s characters a couple who’d gone through the most agonizing thing that you could go through, losing your child. And while it cost them dearly and they weren’t able to sustain their marriage, they did still have love for each other. And then when we meet them, they’re Scott’s character is with one woman, and Dania’s character is getting engaged to another person, and yet so it’s the most complicated possible situation. But for them, I was hoping that they would be able to navigate that incredibly tumultuous space with love and friendship and humor, and they do an amazing job of making that feel real. And I think that is exactly what I’d hoped for. And I think people will watch them as an ex couple and as coworkers and as coparents and feel like they’re doing an amazing job navigating an incredibly difficult and dramatic set of circumstances.

QUESTION: And for John, if I can just add one last question, can you talk a little bit about the process of casting Dania and Scott to play the leads of those two coparents you were talking about and also kind of the inspiration behind creating the series with Jamie?

JOHN EISENDRATH: Well, let me take the second part first. Then I’ll come back. Jamie, I got a call one day from his producing partner, Datari Turner, and he said that he wanted to pitch me an idea for a show. And usually when someone does that, I brace for a polite way of saying, “Thank you, but it’s a terrible idea.”

And the first thing he said was, “How about something about Amber Alert and the people who go missing?”

And I was like, “Wow, that’s actually a great idea for a show.”

And he explained to me that Jamie had had an experience one afternoon where he thought his child had gone missing. And it was not the case, but he for about six or seven hours, he wasn’t sure what had happened. And once that had occurred had happened to him, he did some investigating about the people who find missing persons, and it fascinated him, and he always thought I don’t know how many years ago it was, but that it would be a good basis for a TV show. And that was basically what Datari told me.

And I did agree. I thought it would be a great idea. And then for me, I do think the cases and the stories are singular in a missing persons procedural. But for me, I did feel the need to have something more at its core, and when I imagined that it could be that Scott and Dania’s characters had themselves lost a child, that that to me was when I realized, Oh, there could be a mystery at the center of this procedural show that could both be bring people along who love the procedural pieces but have that emotional core. So that’s how the inception of the show began.

And then in casting, you know, obviously I was familiar with Scott, I had watched Hawaii 5 0, and I thought that when we when I imagined who Jason is, I had imagined someone who had to have the ability to be dramatic, to carry these incredibly intense stories, but have a little but be funny and be able to because I believe that people who work in this kind of environment have to be able to have dark humor, have to be able to deflect the pain and the intensity of the world they’re in. And when Scott’s name came up, I realized, Well, he meets all those requirements. And then we talked via Zoom, as is the case in the world today, and his discussion with me about what the I won’t take the fact that he just walked off screen, I’ll he just doesn’t want me to embarrass him.

(Laughter.)

That, you know, when I just sort of felt like he understood who the guy was, and he would he was excited about the exploration. And that, to me, is singular. You know, you really want someone who is ready to go on an adventure with you, and because that’s what series TV is.

And then with Dania whose work I was less familiar with, but I immediately looked at so much of what she had done and felt like, okay, Nikki is the heart and soul of the show, she is the one who is centered around empathy and emotional connection to people who are grieving, because in this show, the people who come into that space have lost a loved one, and they need a hug as much as they need a forensic analysis of where, you know, their loved one has gone. And the minute we talked, I realized and watched, but really more when we talked, I realized that Dania was someone who, as a person, was comfortable with that. And I really think you have to be comfortable as and be an empathetic person to portray the level of empathy and concern that she has to that Nikki has to on the show. And so I immediately knew that she, too, was someone who could personify the essential trait of who Nikki is as the heart and soul of the show.

DANIA RAMIREZ: I’m so grateful to you, John. I just have to take a moment and just say thank you for trusting me with the material, because I know, you know, every time you do a new show and it’s your baby and you’re writing it and, you know, you’re creating this world, you want to you know, it’s a gamble that you’re taking on someone sort of being like, okay, you’re going to be able to portray this.

And after our first meeting, our conversation the conversation that we had and we talked about not only, you know, the cases, what the show was really about, but really it was when we had you know, we took put all that to the side and really had an honest conversation about who we were as people and the messages that we wanted to kind of put out there and that we really ended up connecting with the kind of you know, how to humanize these that character, how to humanize Nikki. So this was a job that she was doing, and she was connected because it had happened to her, and it gave me the ability to feel empathy and compassion for these people that were coming in with these cases, but also allowed me to bring a lot of myself into it and to really feel for these people but also find the light in some of the situations. And I’m just really grateful that you gave me the opportunity.

JOHN EISENDRATH: I just knew that I just knew that when you ended your text with “Namaste,” I was like, Okay, well, that’s all right.

DANIA RAMIREZ: Namaste.

MICHAEL THORN: And I’ll add that we got really lucky where you know, you read these scripts, and you imagine that, you know, Jason and Nikki are they have this history, and you hope you just hope for in any show that your lead actors are going to have the kind of chemistry it’s that intangible that Dania and Scott had. So we’re so lucky to have them both, because individually they’re terrific, but when you put them together in their character dynamics, it absolutely you those who have seen the first two episodes, you see they shine together.

DANIA RAMIREZ: You bring you do, you bring the best out of me, for sure.

SCOTT CAAN: Oh, thank you. I think the same about you. But I yeah, just going off of what Michael just said, I think that that’s the key to any of these shows. And it’s like it’s such a coin toss. You cannot you can’t predict how that’s going to happen. But like I said, on day 1, I just I was like, alright. We got something to build on.

DANIA RAMIREZ: You know what’s funny is that we couldn’t be more different but also, like, more the same. Like, we’re both really passionate people and really can find humor in the darkest of situations but could not be more opposite at the same time.

SCOTT CAAN: Don’t touch me.

(Laughter.)

DANIA RAMIREZ: He actually really likes to be touched. That’s the thing about him. He says he doesn’t.

JOHN EISENDRATH: This isn’t analysis, it’s just a

(Laughter.)

QUESTION: Thank you so much for doing this. First question is for Scott.

Scott, you know, you’ve done roles, “Oceans 11,” “Gone in 60 Seconds,” you know, intense roles. What drew you to this role, and is this role as intense as other shows that you’ve done?

And the next question is, you know, knowing that you have a daughter, was it and the show being a missing persons, you know, did you give her that kind of extra hug after shooting the show?

SCOTT CAAN: Yeah. I’ll answer backwards. You know, it’s I with my home life and being away, I like to, as much as I possibly can, bring whatever’s going on in my life to what I’m doing. And so just being away from my daughter for the last four months, obviously, now my second daughter, they get much bigger hugs than they’ve ever gotten. So I don’t know if it’s because of this show or because I’m away, but I think a combination of both has made me really appreciate what I have, and you know, and it also makes me appreciate the fact that I have a job. You know, it’s like a you know, a question people say, like, “Why are you doing another procedural show?”

It’s like, man, I’m genuinely I’m not just like “aw shucksing” it up, but, like, I to say, like, no to somebody who wants to hire me to do something in this day and age is, like, insane to me. Like, I’m so lucky to have a job, so lucky to be able to come to work every day.

And going back to your original question, you know, I think what we do is a lot more difficult than showing up for a movie for three, four months and, you know, just doing one role. I think what turns me on about this I answered it a little bit in the beginning, but, you know, dealing with the idea of having your son go missing and then having him come back and you’re not sure if it’s actually your son, playing with those ideas week to week, month to month, episode to episode, like I said, it’s nothing it’s unprecedented. I don’t think you can find somebody and interview somebody who had that experience. So for me, this is, without question, the most complicated thing I’ve ever done. So to label it as a procedural or label it as this kind of show or that kind of show makes no sense to me. I’m learning more about myself. I’m learning a ton about acting. I’m learning there’s just so much going on, and I think that it is definitely more intense than anything I’ve ever done in a really beautiful good way.

And I don’t mean to sound too goofy or corny, but it’s if you like if you like being creative, if you like digging in as an actor, like, there’s there isn’t much out there that is more complicated problem solving as an actor than this show has been for me, and I think I knew that right away. And it’s challenging. It’s really challenging. And, you know, I think that the second we aren’t challenged anymore at what we do, we should just quit, you know? I think that

DANIA RAMIREZ: Which you’ll never do.

SCOTT CAAN: Well, but, again, you know, it’s like

DANIA RAMIREZ: You can’t. I wouldn’t let you.

SCOTT CAAN: No, I know. But I’m saying my point is that this is this isn’t something that I can just show up and, you know, not give a lot of thought to. And that’s what keeps me excited about it, and that’s I think why people will be excited to watch the show, because we’re literally trying to figure things out all the time, and it’s not it’s not like anything else out there, that I’ve seen anyway.

So to answer your question, yes, this is way more intense, way more complicated, and way more challenging, and that’s sort of why I’m really interested in it, you know? So…

DANIA RAMIREZ: Acting is very therapeutic as well. I think one of the things that I and you don’t know this, but the first meeting that I ever had with John and some of the other producers and I knew that you were doing the job, and I was like, you know, I’m excited just to dig in and even see how you know, how we change as people, because it is very therapeutic to go through these things. And you have you know, you just had a baby. Leaving having your family back in LA has played a big part of, like, you really being able to dive into those emotions and vulnerabilities within the role, and it’s been very great to feel like I am also like, I have my family here, but I don’t get to spend a lot of time with them and my kids. And so we’re able to really allow each other to be vulnerable in those moments and to share that with the masses and to feel like, okay, I’m going to unveil that part of me. And I think that’s what the world likes to connect to. To be able to transcend those emotions and to get people to connect with that is super, you know, inspiring, and, you know, this is a the show has just been a great opportunity to share those emotions with everyone.

QUESTION: Hi. This is for Scott and Dania. You’re basically the show is living out every parent’s worst nightmare in so many respects. So how emotional is it for each of you, and is it difficult to let it go after some of these highly emotional scenes?

SCOTT CAAN: Yeah, I think it is. I mean, you know, it’s one of those things where, you know, you it’s like our job definitely comes home with us, and I don’t realize how affected I am by it. But, yeah, I mean, every day, we’re dealing with really, really horrible stuff.

DANIA RAMIREZ: Yeah, it’s hard to leave it behind. And honestly, I think, you know, it’s human nature to and especially for actors, if you’re really into it, to just really live out those emotions. And that’s not something you can shut off right away. I mean, I think that’s why it’s great to be a part of a job in which it’s not just, you know, Scott on the job here, but it’s also our crew and the people that we’re working with every single day, the writers, the people that are here and our other cast mates, we become our own like a family outside of what we you know, what we film every day, and I think we have that support system to really get through that and be able to say, “Okay, that was that. Let’s put it to the side, and now let’s” you know, our lives will continue, and we have to figure out a way to pick ourselves back up. But, yeah, it’s very difficult.

And it’s interesting because, you know, the last show that we I mean, we were in “Entourage” together, and what a completely different vibe that was, because it’s like that’s fun, and we were completely different people back then. We didn’t have kids back then. We didn’t really know each other. We didn’t have any scenes together. So I could say maybe we played together. We, like, hung out. But we didn’t really you know, now, who we are who we were then and who we are now is a completely different ballgame, and being parents and dealing with a show that has to deal with, like, missing children is something that’s really close to the heart, and it’s hard to leave behind.

SCOTT CAAN: Yeah. So basically after we do five, six years of this show, I’m going to call Michael and say, “Michael, put me on a half hour comedy immediately, please.”

MICHAEL THORN: Done.

LES EISNER: And with that, we’ll wrap our session.

Co-created by John Eisendrath (the Executive Producer of The Blacklist) and superstar Jamie Foxx, Alert: Missing Persons Unit is a procedural drama set in the Philadelphia Police Department’s Missing Persons Unit (MPU). Each episode features a heart-pounding, life-or-death search for a missing person that runs alongside police officers JASON GRANT (Scott Caan, Hawaii Five-O) and NIKKI BATISTA’s (Dania Ramirez, Devious Maids) season-long quest to find out the truth about their long-lost son.

Six years ago, while working overseas, Jason received the call that every parent fears – he and Nikki’s son, KEITH (Graham Verchere, The Good Doctor), had gone missing. From that moment forward, the lives of Jason, Nikki and their daughter, SYDNEY (recurring guest star Fivel Stewart, Atypical), were turned upside down. The frantic search to find Keith began and the mystery about his disappearance continues to this day.

Throughout the search to find Keith, Jason and Nikki’s marriage deteriorated and they grew apart. Jason moved into private security, while Nikki was promoted within the Philly P.D. to Head of the MPU, where she has been able to do for others what she wasn’t able to do for herself, bring a loved one back home. At the MPU, she leads a team of highly skilled individuals including her current love interest MIKE (Ryan Broussard, Only Murders In The Building), whom Nikki met when he was assigned to oversee the search for Keith; KEMI (Adeola Role, The Blacklist), who is proficient in many languages, highly discerning of visual clues, and uses her know-how as a shaman to take a holistic approach to her job; and forensic anthropologist C (recurring guest star and newcomer Petey Gibson), who is a master at reconstructing the faces of those who have disappeared. Together, the team works to find the missing, abducted, or kidnapped, and help reunite them with their loved ones before it’s too late.

When Jason receives a possible proof-of-life photo that Keith is very much alive, he and Nikki will reunite personally and professionally to continue the fight for their son.

Alert: Missing Persons Unit is co-produced by Sony Pictures Television and FOX Entertainment. John Eisendrath serves as showrunner and executive producer. Jamie Foxx, Datari Turner, J.R. Orci, Adam Kane and Michael Offer (101 and 102) are also executive producers.

Billy: It’s chilly.

Lily: Yeah. Yeah. Looks like it might snow.

Billy: Do you want to get to something to eat?

Lily: Um… I’m not really hungry.

Billy: [ Sighs ] Maybe we’ll just start with a drink, huh? What do you think?

Lily: That was really hard.

Billy: Yeah. Yeah, I did not expect our first therapy session to be that bad.

Lily: I think maybe going out tonight was a mistake.

Billy: It’s just dinner.

Lily: Yeah, well, we can’t just sit here and pretend like we didn’t have our first therapy session and it was brutal.

[ Knock on door ]

Nick: Sally? It’s me. You okay?

Sally: Yeah. Yeah, I’ll be right there.

[ Sighs ]

Nick: There you are. Glad you answered. Thought maybe you were ghosting me. I just couldn’t figure out why. That harri

Summer: I’m happy to report that harrison has settled in with a movie. Even though he has seen it a million times, it still somehow captivates him.

Kyle: Glad he’s content, because I’m not, after that bomb dropped on me at the office.

Summer: Look, I know that my timing wasn’t great. I totally forgot that you had that big meeting scheduled. I didn’t realize that you’d have to go before we could finish our conversation.

Kyle: Well, meeting’s over now, so we can pick back up right where we left off. Let’s talk about this plan of yours. Do you really want to take our son out of the country?

Sharon: Hey, jack. Jack, hello?

Jack: Oh, I’m sorry. I’m just distracted. I’m sorry.

Sharon: Oh, well, I hope everything’s okay. Do you need anything?

Jack: No. You know what? It’s nothing worth getting into. I just… I’m worried about a friend.

Sharon: Okay, well, you looked a little upset, and, by the look on your face, I can tell it’s about somebody very close to you.

Jeremy: Diane, you look lovely. Reminds me how chic you used to look every time we used to go out.

Diane: Charming as ever. You always knew just what to say to make me feel beautiful.

Jeremy: Just stating the obvious. Sit.

Diane: Oh, and thoughtful, too. I see you’ve already ordered my favorite champagne.

Jeremy: Only the best for you.

Diane: Well, I’m hoping this means we have something to celebrate.

Jeremy: Let’s see where the evening takes us.

Diane: I was just about to say the same thing. The abcs of ckd

Chance: Hey.

Sharon: Oh, hey.

Chance: What’s going on?

Sharon: Well, you caught me. I was hoping if I stared at my phone long enough, I could will it to ring.

Chance: Well, I gather that hasn’t worked yet.

Sharon: Not yet. Mariah and tessa are meeting with the birth mother of a baby they’re hoping to adopt, and I’m just dying to know how it’s going.

Chance: Wow, that’s huge that they’re this far in the process.

Sharon: Yeah, it’s really exciting. But I’m trying to stay cautious and not get my hopes up too much. I realize that a lot of different things could happen that would change the outcome, but if it’s meant to be, is meant to be, right?

Chance: I’ve been telling myself that a lot lately.

Sharon: How about you? How are you doing?

Chance: Oh, you know how it is. Crime doesn’t sleep. Wrap up a case, and another one rears its ugly head.

Sharon: Well, I wasn’t talking about your work. I was talking about you.

Summer: You said that like you think that I plan on permanently leaving the country, moving back to milan with harrison. No, I’m just talking about a short trip to the textile show in paris.

Kyle: No, it’s pretty obvious this is more than just a business jaunt. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be planning on taking harrison.

Summer: Yeah, with everything going on, I’d like for our son to be far away from any potential danger.

Kyle: Hey, hey, I know you don’t love the way my mother’s chaos with stark has taken over our lives, but I hope you realize everything we’re doing right now is necessary given the circumstances.

Summer: No, kyle, I really don’T. It seems like, every day, things are just spinning further and further out of control, and we’re getting dug in deeper. A new plot, a new plan. What’s next?

Jeremy: I am certainly impressed that you chose this spot to meet. It reminds me of that club in ibiza.

Diane: I remember it well. I think I had more than the usual amount of cash hidden in my luggage for that trip.

Jeremy: I was fond of that very profitable excursion. I mean, the dance music, the 24-hour party scene.

Diane: It was wild.

Jeremy: But if I were to accept your proposition, reuniting and using our particular skill set, we couldn’t go back to our old method of doing business together, and certainly not through our favorite party spots. And the feds would be on us the minute we stepped on a private plane headed out of the country.

Diane: Well, you’re probably right, but between the two of us, we’re pretty clever. I’m sure we could put our heads together and come up with the perfect plan.

Jeremy: We do make a terrific team. Maybe we could travel separately. Then you can go alone and make the transactions. Since you don’t have any parole officers tracking you.

Diane: Or maybe we don’t have to leave the country at all. That would certainly eliminate some of the risks for you. I mean, there are plenty of opportunities right here in genoa city.

Jeremy: Mm. I like the way you’re thinking.

Diane: Good. So if we’re going to stay here, we need to decide on a new target. I have a few ideas of my own.

Jeremy: As do I. Take this spot. This would be the perfect money-laundering venue. And then we wouldn’t raise suspicions of us leaving the country. I could definitely see myself having a piece of this place. Huh.

Sally: Believe me, ghosting you is the last thing on my mind.

Nick: What’s that?

Sally: What?

Nick: What you just threw away.

Sally: Oh, those are just drafts of the pitch that chloe and I are working on for jill and chancellor-winters.

Nick: Why don’t you let me take a look at it. I know jill very well. I might be able to give you some insight on how to win her over.

Sally: Uh, no, no. Really, the drafts are not worth looking at, but I might take you up on your offer once we figure everything out. Did you really think that I was trying to blow you off?

Nick: Nah, I wouldn’t be here if I did. I was just thinking about you. A lot. I was just wondering how you’re doing. I’m hoping the stomach bug didn’t come back to bite you. Are you still feeling better?

Sally: Yeah. Yep, I’m fine.

Nick: You sure? A healthier heartcould

Billy: You know, I got to be honest. I did not expect our first therapy session to go the way that it — that it did.

Lily: Well, how did you think it was going to go?

Billy: I — I don’t know. I guess it was — I just thought it would be a little bit more conversational, you know, like, “how long have you been together?” “Where did you meet?” “Do you have friends in common?” But the guy was just — he was hard and… I mean, he didn’t even chuckle when I tried to lighten the mood with a joke.

Lily: I know. He didn’t even give a polite smile.

[ Sniffles ]

Billy: You know, maybe — maybe we need a new therapist. We can try somebody different.

Lily: Well, did you disagree with anything that he said?

Billy: No. Unfortunately, he was on point.

Lily: Right, so would you want someone to sugarcoat things and lie to us?

Billy: [ Sighs ] No, I think brutally honest is the way to go.

[ Sighs ] I think I’m just trying to process this.

Lily: Yeah. Me, too. I think, though, that a lot of what we talked about, we kind of already knew. You know, we’ve been going in opposite directions for a while now.

Billy: Yeah, some of the questions that he asked and the way that we answered them…

Lily: I know. It’s like we have so little common ground that we were destined to end up like this.

Chance: There are far more interesting things to talk about than me. Trust me.

Sharon: Look, I know you’ve been going through a rough time. I genuinely want to know how you’re doing through all of it.

Chance: Yeah, alright. Um… well, honestly, life’s just kind of weird right now. You know, all of a sudden, I feel like I have to establish new habits. You know, like, even little things that used to get the day started are different. I mean, the — the anticipation of seeing dom in the morning, that used to give me an bed.

Sharon: I understand exactly how you feel. I felt the same way when rey died and my daughter moved out. You know, with faith away at college, I realized how long it’s been since I’ve had dinner alone. Now it’s almost every night.

Chance: That’s exactly what I’m talking about. I mean, it’s little things like that that just hits home a little harder, right? I mean, suddenly I’ll look up and it’s late, and I haven’t eaten because dinner’s just about food now. Used to be about family time, you know, talking over our days, going over dom’s latest achievements, getting him fed before bedtime.

Sharon: Yeah, the joys of family, right? Hey, I have an idea.

Summer: Let’s face it, there’s no guarantee that this is going to get rid of stark. Bribes and threats were not enough to send him packing. Your mom’s fake disappearance didn’t fool him into walking away. So what makes you so sure that this is going to be the end?

Kyle: Because she knows him very well. She knows how to handle him.

Summer: And what happens when stark figures out that diane is setting him up to take the fall? What happens when he feels trapped or provoked? Kyle, this is serious.

Kyle: She is risking her own safety for all of us.

Summer: It’s not just her own safety she’s risking.

Kyle: Just believe me, summer. I would never, ever let danger come anywhere close to you or harrison. I hope you know me better than that.

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Diane: You need to look elsewhere for a base of operations. This club would not be a good fit.

Jeremy: [ Scoffs ] Whatever happened to living life on the edge? Huh? Thought you missed it. Don’t tell me you’re getting cold feet before I even agree to join forces with you.

Diane: No, no, I’m just — I’m just looking out for you. This club is owned by noah newman, as in victor newman’s grandson. And the space is leased from the owners of the grand phoenix, chancellor-winters, which is owned by two more power families in this town. Just trust me. Trust me, you don’t want to cross them.

Jeremy: Sounds like you’re making excuses.

Diane: [ Sighs ] No, but as your former and hopefully soon-to-be accomplice, you need to listen to me. I know this town and the people in it better than most. And I remember that you like stirring up all kinds of trouble, but this is one headache you don’t need.

Jeremy: Okay. I’ll take your lead on this one.

Diane: I will say, I am encouraged by your current train of thought. You know, it sounds like you’re coming up with a new way to do your business, making plans, and hopefully accepting my offer. It would be nice to officially be on the same side with you.

Jeremy: Not so fast. You still have to pass my loyalty test. Only daisy cottage cheese will do

Sally: Yeah, my stomach issues must’ve just been something that I ate ’cause i am back in full fighting mode now, and if I seem a little off at all, it must just be this proposal that I’m struggling with.

Nick: Okay, well, I won’t be pushy and try to help again, but may I offer an alternate suggestion?

Sally: Like what?

Nick: When I’m at work and I hit a roadblock, I think the best thing I can do is actually take a break, go outside, clear my head. Then when I get right back to it, all the ideas just start flowing, and it may work for you. So what do you say we go get some dinner?

Sally: Well, I am starving, but, I don’t know, I feel like if I keep working, I can figure out this pitch.

Nick: Okay. How about some takeout, then?

Sally: I would like that very much.

Nick: I’ll be back.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

Sally: [ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

Kyle: Just tell me what I can do to help you feel more comfortable.

Summer: I don’t think that there’s anything that will help except for leaving. It just feels like it’s one conflict after another, and there’s no end in sight. I just — I need some relief. For me and for harrison.

Kyle: We have all taken pains to make sure harrison has no idea what’s going on.

Summer: I know that nobody’s told him about the impending danger, but he’s smart. He can tell that there’s been a change in our attitudes, that we’re on guard all the time.

Kyle: And a sudden trip to france won’t seem odd to him?

Summer: Look, I will do everything to put him at ease. I’m going to make this seem like a fun, new adventure. He’s just in preschool. He can miss a few days. It’s not a big deal. And you know what? I’ll bring the nanny along. It’ll help to make things seem more normal. I promise you, I will stay on top of business, and maybe I’ll even get more done without being constantly distracted by all of this craziness.

[ Sighs ]

Kyle: All good points. I hear you. I really do. And, to be honest, I’m scared, too.

Summer: Then come with us. Me, you, and harrison. Let’s go to paris, the three of us.

Kyle: I can’t leave my mom. Not now. And my fear is different than yours. It’s not about any potential danger to you or harrison. What scares me the most is this situation is starting to come between us, and that’s not something I can bear.

Diane: Why would I turn on you if I’m willing to launder money for you?

Jeremy: Well, the point is, I won’t be played for a sucker, especially from you. I just don’t feel I can trust you…yet.

Diane: Well, I don’t see why not.

Jeremy: Well, you disappeared from me once. Who says you won’t do it again?

Diane: I told you, I ran on impulse, and then I thought about it, and I came back, totally knowing that you would be waiting for me.

Jeremy: I don’t even know where you’re staying now. Are you settled comfortably at the abbott estate?

Diane: No, no, no. Jack has had it with me. I was renting an apartment, but now I’m back at our hotel.

Jeremy: Hm, we’re neighbors.

Diane: Yeah.

Jeremy: Perhaps it’d be more cost-effective if we shared a suite.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Jeremy, we are going to make so much money with our new partnership that you will rebuild your fortune and then some.

Jeremy: Hm. I don’t remember you being quite so confident during our previous alliance.

Diane: Well, that’s because I was constantly living in fear that my true identity would be exposed.

Jeremy: Now you have nothing to hide except for the criminal enterprise you’re preparing to launch.

Diane: Precisely. And as for this test, I really don’t see why I need to at this point. Just so you know, jack told kyle all about the fight that we had in front of you.

Jeremy: You can’t be surprised by that. I mean, you had to know that he was going to make your son fully aware of your latest betrayal.

Diane: Well, now I’ve officially put my relationship with my family on the line for you. They are furious at me for getting back with you.

Jeremy: Yeah, well, I don’t doubt that you’ll be able to win them over again.

Diane: Well, that’s easy for you to say.

Jeremy: Look, I have to look out for myself, given I’m the one with the criminal record that just got out of prison. So I would be the one that would be risking the most if I got back in the game. So any partnership I make with you would definitely require an act of loyalty on your part.

Diane: Alright. I’m up for the challenge. What exactly do you have in mind?

Jeremy: Something outrageous and dangerous, something that would prove that you would go to the limit for me…and then some. (Dog barking) we love our pets.

Diane: I see. You want me to compromise myself, prove that I have some skin in the game.

Jeremy: It’s only fair, no? I’m only looking for a goodwill offering, something that would land you in the same unpleasant place I just came from.

Diane: Ideally not, though.

Jeremy: Of course not. You’d be no use to me locked up.

Diane: Nor you to me.

Jeremy: I know you. I know you can get away with anything. I mean, you got away with your own murder. That conniving survivor is still in you, deep in your soul.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] You know me so well.

Jeremy: You said you wanted to live life on the edge. Well, this is your chance to prove it. And once you do, we’ll see how committed you are. Then we can get back to our activities.

Diane: What do I have to do?

Jeremy: Surprise me.

Billy: Thank you very much.

[ Clears throat ] You know, let’s not sink too far into despair, okay, over the worst-case scenario.

Lily: No, I know, you’re right. I mean, it was only our first session.

Billy: Yeah, it was our first session. Let’s just try and salvage the night, spend some time together, enjoy ourselves, and maybe just share one of these specials.

Lily: Uh, I mean, I’m not hungry, but you can go ahead.

Billy: Maybe we’ll just start with a drink.

Chance: This was a great idea, sharon. The two of us, eating together.

Sharon: Well, it’s not home cooking, but it’ll do.

Chance: Oh, it’s going to do more than that. Trust me.

Sharon: [ Chuckles ] I hope you’re right. I have never tried ethiopian food before.

Chance: Oh, well, I am so pumped you let me pick the restaurant. I’m telling you, it’s music for your taste buds. The spices are unforgettable. Besides, just like you said, dinner is about more than just food, right? Not only am I out of the house, but I have some very lovely company to share it with.

Sharon: Aww, I feel the same way. And thanks for encouraging me to try something new. Hopefully, this will be a fun, little adventure.

Chance: Well, I promise you, I will not steer you wrong.

Summer: The last thing I want is for anything to come between us. I have been trying so hard to prevent that.

Kyle: I get it. Things are tense here and at the office, not to mention the added stress with the holidays, but it’s not your fault. You’re being pulled in way too many directions, and one of the strongest pulls is your mother.

Summer: Wait a minute.

Kyle: No, I know that you’re so upset, partly because phyllis is so upset.

Summer: Don’t you dare make this about her. This is about diane’s never-ending chaos.

Jack: Thank god you’re here. I was worried sick about you. I was on my way to the club, despite your telling me not to.

Diane: Well, I appreciate your concern, but I’m glad you didn’t show up. It wouldn’t have helped. It might’ve made jeremy suspicious. Turns out, he still doesn’t completely trust me.

Jack: I don’t like the sound of that. You feel like you’re in any more danger?

Diane: No, no, things actually went okay. His greed and arrogance are overshadowing his doubts, just as I thought, and he is falling right into my trap. But before we spring it on him, we need to do one more thing.

Jack: Oh, what’s that?

Diane: We need to find a crime for me to commit.

Who’s on it with jardiance?

Nick: Hope you’re hungry. Got one of everything, including the requisite extra guacamole. What’s that look?

Sally: I just can’t help but marvel in how amazing you are. I mean, you bring me soup and ginger ale when I’m sick and nachos and guacamole when I am hungry.

Nick: You know, they have apps that will do this for you, right?

Sally: Don’t be so modest. You are the perfect man. You’re reassuring and thoughtful and sexy. And no app on earth can do this.

Sharon: The good news is, i made it through all the spices, and I actually really enjoyed my first foray into ethiopian food.

Chance: See? I told you I wouldn’t steer you wrong.

Sharon: Oh, thanks for the tip, though, on that one dish. The heat level in that, it could’ve blown my head off.

Chance: [ Chuckles ]

Sharon: And, um, thanks for taking care of me, too. I guess I owe you one now.

Chance: Oh, that’s not necessary. It’s my treat.

Sharon: Well, I’ve got to pay you back. How about, uh, next week? We could start our own private supper club.

Chance: [ Chuckles ] You don’t have to do that for me. I can, uh — I can handle solo dinners. Trust me, had to do it all the time when I was working undercover. Just got to get used to it again. I’ll be okay.

Sharon: Yeah, I don’t doubt that, but, you know, you’re a friend, and I enjoy talking with you. You know, maybe we can even venture into another new cuisine. How do you feel about peruvian or turkish?

Chance: [ Sighs ]

Sharon: Okay, I — I won’t press the issue. I’ll just leave it up to you.

Chance: Okay. Next week it is.

Kyle: I don’t want to be insensitive, but I have to remind you, phyllis is the one who invited chaos to town.

Summer: I’m really not sure how my mother became solely responsible for diane’s criminal ex-boyfriend. Don’t you think he would’ve eventually tracked her down all on his own?

Kyle: Seriously, summer, are you defending your mother’s actions right now?

Summer: You know what? We need to stop. We just — we can’t keep going over the same ground when nothing changes.

Kyle: Okay. You’re right. This is exactly what I didn’t want to happen.

Summer: Okay, well, then, will you at least just think about harrison and I going to paris? I think it would be good for both of us. Look, if you’re dead set against it, I’ll drop it. Okay? But if not, then, I want to start packing.

Kyle: I love you so much. I just — I hate all of this.

Summer: I hate it, too.

Jack: Stark wants you to commit a crime. Why?

Diane: As a loyalty test. So that he knows that I’m willing to risk jail time for him.

Jack: Oh, I am not crazy about the sound of this.

Diane: Well, neither am I, but I’ve been thinking about it, and I think I can pull this off without risking harm to anyone.

Jack: You are playing with fire, diane.

Diane: All I have to do is get past this hurdle, and then jeremy will be putty in my hands. He will commit a crime, one that we orchestrate, one that will send him right back to prison. Jack, we are so close to having this bastard out of our lives.

Jack: So exactly what crime are you considering?

Diane: Well, I’ve ruled out any kind of violence, obviously.

Jack: Well, thank god for that.

Diane: Yeah, so I think the way to impress and flatter jeremy is if I steal something of considerable value.

Jack: Well, if that’s all it takes, we can open the safe at the house and give him a couple of those things.

Diane: No, no, no. That won’t work.

Jack: Well, couldn’t be easier.

Diane: Of course. That’s why. It’d be too easy, too obvious. Jeremy would see right through it. And if he asks any questions about why I took something from my family and demands to know the details, he’ll suspect a setup, and he will figure out that we’re all in cahoots.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, so who do you intend to rob?

Diane: Well, my victim has to be someone who would never, ever, under any circumstance, help me out. Steal from phyllis? Don’t tempt me. If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Lily: Um…

[ Clears throat, sniffles ] I just — I think I need some air.

Billy: I’ll get the bill, then we can walk out.

Lily: Um, I just… I need some time. Is that okay?

Billy: Yeah. Of course. Lily. We’re going to be alright. Okay? We will work on this, continue to go to therapy. We’ll do whatever it takes.

Lily: Billy, let’s just be honest. I mean, this has been going on for months. And we don’t need to keep doing this. Right? I mean… we can’t keep doing this.

[ Cellphone dings ]

Sally: So… do you still have any concerns about me ghosting you?

Nick: Sally, if this is your version of ghosting, I’m all for it. In fact, why don’t you come and ghost me in the shower now?

Sally: I am going to have to take a rain check because I’m starving, and that is your fault. But I’m going to go unpack the goodies, and I will set up a feast while you go shower.

Nick: Okay.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Sighs ]

Kyle: I wish none of this had happened. I wish I could shield you from everything that’s gone on with stark, the issues with our mothers, all of it.

Summer: I want to protect you as much as you want to protect me.

Jack: Tempting as it might be to target her, I think it would be a big mistake to steal from phyllis. She’s too much of a wild card.

Diane: You’re probably right. Using her to dupe jeremy would be karmic justice, but the last thing we need is her going on a rampage and ruining our plan.

Jack: I don’t even want to contemplate what she would do.

Diane: [ Sighs ] And even though I have easy access to ashley’s belongings because she’s in the same house as kyle and harrison, she is still your sister, so it’d make it seem less credible.

Jack: Yeah, not to mention her growing anger at the two of us becoming closer. No, she could be every bit as dangerous to our plan as phyllis.

Diane: So I guess that only leaves one remaining member of the coven, and given that she’s partially responsible for bringing jeremy stark to town, maybe nikki deserves a little larceny coming her way.

Next Week on “The Young and The Restless”:

Chelsea: What happened?

Billy: It’s over.

Tucker: That’s what I remember and missed so much. Don’t tell me you don’t.

Devon: I’m not worried about Nate any more. I’m worried about a completely different threat.

Lily: What are you talking about?

Devon: We have a new traitor at the company.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

The second half was interrupted by news, so we’ll have to get it from On Demand.

Nina: Britt. Look at you, so beautiful. Turbulent. Doctor of the year. Everything you did to help people… everything you still could have done and… it’s not fair.

[ Sighs ]

[ Horse whinnies softly ] I want to stay with thor. Uh, we’ll go back. We just, uh, need to take a minute. ‘Cause mommy’s tired? No, it’s just — it’s — it’s cold outside. We just need to warm up.

[ Horse whinnies ]

[ Shivering ] I’m not cold. What? You’re freezing. Your nose is about to fall off. It is not! Oh, yeah? Okay. Then, uh, what do you call, uh — what do you call this? That’s your thumb. Are you sure? You better check. When my little sister comes, I’m gonna guard her nose, and she’s gonna guard mine. Oh, is that right? I can’t wait for her to be here.

[ Chuckles ] Neither can we.

[ Horse whinnies ] I understand that clairborne county, colorado, is a very rural area, but I do not understand how, in this digital age, there could be still three josiahs out there that you can’t find addresses for. That is a great idea. Please keep on it, and remember that a woman’s life could depend on this. Josslyn: Mom? In the kitchen. I barely slept.

[ Breathes sharply ] Wow. You look like how I feel. Yeah, I worked late last night. Wasn’t supposed to come in this morning, but someone called in sick, so here I am. I’m on my break, though, so, coffee? Espresso — double.

[ Chuckles ] Just kidding. Yeah, coffee’s fine. Thank you. Coming right up. Some night, huh?

[ Sighs ] The good news is esme’s in custody. The bad news is… she’s pregnant. I’m sorry. I’m gonna need you to say that again one more time, so I heard you correctly. They found esme? Yeah. And she’s pregnant? Yes. Which brings me to my question, um — do you have any tips for how to be a good big brother?

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Monitor beeping ] I can’t sleep. Can you give me something stronger?

[ Beeping continues ] Yes, I can arrange that. You’re sure the baby’s okay? I already told you, the baby’s heart pattern looks good. There are no signs of distress. I still can’t believe esme jumped. I mean, it’s a miracle. Right? That she and the baby are okay? Yeah, she’s one lucky girl. I’m glad martin agreed to take her case. I just — I wish I could get in there and talk to esme. Nikolas. What? I’m just saying. That’s not gonna happen. Esme: Who are you?

[ Monitor beeping ] I’m glad you asked, esme. I am a mother whose daughter has been taken from her. And what do you want? My pound of flesh.

Nikolas, listen to me — you need to stay as far away from esme as possible. Listen, if esme is faking her amnesia, I’m gonna know. Why would she? She has all the leverage if she remembers, and seeing you could bring back those memories. Do you — do you want to risk that? Of course not, but if I — then stay out of her room. Hey, you went in there, and she didn’t “remember you.” Well, I’m not the father of her baby, and my face isn’t the last one she saw before she chucked herself off the parapet. I want to see esme myself. Too bad. The longer it takes to remember, the better for us. It buys us time. For what, I have no idea. But I don’t want to think about that right now. Hey. It’s gonna be okay, elizabeth. No, listen to me. As we speak, demetrius is cleaning every trace of evidence that esme was in the north tower, and once he’s done, it is gonna be esme’s word against ours. Great. Until then, stay away from her. Drew: Hey, guys. I just came by to see if I could take comet out for a little ride.

[ Breathes sharply ] Uncle drew, did you meet thor? I did not. In the paddock. Did he bring his hammer? Actually, uh — uh, thor is what wiley named the new foal. Oh, right. Of course. I mean, I saw him out there — I just didn’t know he had a new name. Can I take uncle drew out to meet thor? Please? Wiley’s so excited about the new horse, we can’t keep up with him.

[ Chuckles ] Mommy and daddy are too cold.

[ Laughs ] Well, I would love it if you took me out to introduce me to the one and only thor. Yay!

[ Mouths words ]

[ Horse whinnies ] Come on.

[ Chuckles ] Show me the way. Is he strong? I just need a minute.

[ Door closes ] You got it. Dex. What are you doing here? I-I needed to talk to you. Did you hear about dr. Westbourne? No. What about her? There was another hook attack last night. Oh, god. That’s awful. Why would the hook attack britt? Well, the way I understand it, the hook was after someone else, britt intervened, and the intended victim got away. Well, that’s good. I mean, no one got hurt, right? Britt’s okay, isn’t she?

[ Whispers ] Uh, come here. Come here. No, she’s not. Britt died. But she — britt was fine. She’s fine. Well, according to the invader, britt suffered a scratch. The hook had poison on it, and britt collapsed about an hour later. Was she alone? No, she was with her mom. Oh, my god.

[ Breathes deeply ] I know it’s terrible. It’s awful. It’s — this happened because of me. So, did you know? Esme and your father… I found out right before I went to pentonville. That is rough. I knew that my father had slept with esme, but I did not know that esme was pregnant until last night. A-and your father, how long has he known? No idea. But I definitely got the impression that he knew before last night. Mm, and did esme admit to attacking people with the hook? No. Of course not. Can you imagine esme admitting to anything, ever?

[ Sighs ] She said she can’t remember a thing. Nina. Hi. Hey, thank you for meeting me here. You know, there are reporters all around the metro court hoping to get a quote about britt. I — you know, I had the security try to — what? They’re vultures, okay? Yeah, I hope that they don’t get ahold of aunt liesl ’cause that will not be pretty. Is this all you got here, one box? Yeah. Just one box. That’s all she had. Alright. Frank, can you take this to nina’s car? Yes, sir. Hey. Hey. Yeah? How are you doing otherwise? Well, I’m not great. I’m really worried about aunt liesl. You know, I talked to scott this morning, and she is broken. She’s grieving. She lost a child. There’s no greater pain.

[ Whispers ] Yeah, I know. You know, she doesn’t handle grief well. I mean, who does? But she was supposed to be here. She packed that box. Where do you think she is? Did — did liesl know that esme prince is in this hospital? I d– sonny. No. “A pound of flesh”? Shakespeare, right?

[ Monitor beeping ] Perhaps you’ll recognize another quote from his scottish tragedy in which a certain lady says, “look like th’innocent flower, but be the serpent under’T.” Look, I-I-I-I — I-I don’t know what happened to your daughter, but whatever did, I-I-I-I don’t remember. Is that supposed to invoke my mercy? No, look — that the taking of my daughter’s life was forgettable? Look, I’m sorry. Whatever happened to your daughter, I didn’t do it! How do you know if you don’t remember? You do not deserve the peace I’m about to bestow upon you, but the world does. Now, you owe my daughter an explanation. And you’d better think of one fast because you’re about to see her.

[ Muffled shouting ]

Schweigen! Another peep, and I will make this exquisitely painful. You scratched her with that infernal hook. She died in my arms. Now it’s your turn.

[ Muffled ] Don’t! Please! My baby! You need to accept that nothing you say right now matters. The only thing that matters is dr. Britta westbourne. My daughter — murdered, poisoned, taken by you.

Was ist das? You’re pregnant? Cameron: Do you think that esme might be faking her amnesia to avoid being charged as the hook? She is capable of anything.

[ Sighs ] On the other hand, she’s got a baby bump out to here, so… for her to be running around stabbing people, it seems unlikely. But if esme isn’t the hook, that means that somebody else is out there targeting trina and the rest of us. But who else besides esme would be targeting trina? I don’t know. But I do think that you and me and trina and josslyn, we should all get together and figure out what’s next. Yeah, you know what? You guys might have to meet without me. Just let me know what you decide. Why are you acting so weird? Is — is this about our parents or…? W– what? I do– I don’t know what you mean. No, um, what is it? What’s going on? Joss and I broke up. Josslyn, this is not your fault. There is only one person who is responsible for this, and it sure as hell isn’t you. Yeah. But if we had stayed… stayed where? What are you talking about? I was the intended victim.

[ Breathes sharply ] Britt interfered with me. I got away. What? Josslyn, oh, my god. Are you okay? Yeah, I’m fine. Thanks to britt and dex. Was it esme? I don’t know. I — [ Sobs ] The attacker was wearing a mask. I-I couldn’t see their face. All I saw was this hook swinging around. Why didn’t you wait for the police? I-I was — I was so freaked out. I just — I wanted to get out of there, and I didn’t have anything helpful to tell them. So you left britt alone? Well, she said it was okay.

[ Breathes sharply ] She — she said she was fine. She told us to go. She had it handled. You spoke to britt? Yes. She wasn’t wounded. Nothing was wrong. I didn’t know she was injured. That — that — that’s not what I mean. I don’t think she knew. Josslyn, that’s not what I’m asking. Why did britt tell the police that she didn’t know the identity of the person being attacked? Because of me. Everything seems fine. Yeah, I’m gonna go try to find aunt liesl, okay?

[ Indistinct conversations ] Elizabeth. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to interrupt. Have — have you — have you seen liesl obrecht? No, not since last night.

[ Cellphone beeps ] Sorry… no, that’s okay. Sonny. What do you want? Have you spoken to spencer? Not today. Why? Well, as you recall, he and britt were pretty close. I’m concerned about how he’s taking the news of her death. Why don’t you try talking to him? Because he’s not taking any of my phone calls or texts. What did you do now? Oh, you’re gonna find out soon enough. As you heard, uh, esme is in the hospital. Yeah, she’s right in that room. That’s right. Yeah. Right. Turns out she’s pregnant. Are you telling me that spencer’s gonna be a father? It’s not spencer’s baby. It’s mine.

[ Suspenseful music plays ] You sick —

[ Grunts ]

[ Punch lands ] Out, out, brief candle!

[ Sobbing ] Your end will be far more merciful than the one you gave my daughter.

[ Door opens ] Oh, my god! Aunt liesl, stop!

[ Monitor beeping ] What have you done?

You and joss broke up? Oh, you think you can’t believe it? But when I got out of pentonville, I asked you, and you said that you guys were good. I thought we were. I guess I was wrong. So the breakup wasn’t mutual, then? Joss said that we have grown apart. Is this because of that jerk, dex? You made my daughter leave the scene of a crime. I want to know why. Dex didn’t make me do anything. It was a mutual decision. And britt agreed. She said she could handle it. And what if the attacker had followed you? Where did you go? The reason we didn’t stick around for the police is because I was carrying. It’s a gun sonny gave me for work. It’s not registered to me. I don’t know where it came from or what would come back if the police ran a trace on it. Well, at least I know why you felt safe going wherever.

[ Sighs ] Alright, you should probably go. It’s okay. Your mom has questions, I’m happy to explain. Thank you, but I can fill her in. I’m gonna walk you out.

[ Door opens ] Look, joss. I… listen, it’s just better if my mom hears everything from me. Everything? Oh, god, no. No, I just want to make sure she understands that you didn’t talk me into anything. And that the decisions I made were mine. Any regrets? Other than leaving britt alone… not one. I feel like I should stay.

[ Breathes deeply ] This is between me and my mom. I won’t push anymore. You know how to reach me. Yeah, I do. Bye. [ Sniffles ]

[ Horse whinnies in distance ] Okay. Let’s go visit thor. No. Are you sure you’re not — not doing too much? Please, I’m barely doing anything. And I just don’t want you to push yourself too hard. Now that the first round of chemo is out of the way, I’m getting my strength back. This morning, I was actually hungry. Uh, yeah, I noticed, you, uh, you ate a whole piece of toast. And I picked it up all by myself. Mm.

[ Laughs ] I am going to get through this. I’m counting on it.

[ Breathes sharply ] Don’t panic. Melanie lured wiley back into the house with some [Chuckling] Hot chocolate. What about us? We like hot chocolate. Aw. You guys seem like you’re doing better. We’re hanging in there. Yeah. Hey, have you, um — have you heard anything at all from the donor registry? Uh, no match yet, but, you know, hope springs eternal. How is the search going for my birth family?

[ Sighs ] Well, I’m sorry, I don’t have any — any new news, but my reporters, they’re still working on it. Well, hopefully they find a lead soon because obviously a relative is the best bet for a bone marrow donor. Yeah, well, believe me, they know the urgency here. And I’m glad I ran into you guys, because I do have a question. Fire away. Yeah, um… willow, did — did harmony or doug stay in touch with the leader of the commune in colorado? Specifically, did they ever mention a guy by the name of josiah? Yes. Didn’t I tell you? Harmony took me to visit josiah after we left. Aunt liesl.

[ Monitor beeping ]

[ Breathes sharply ] Oh, my god. Did you kill her?! Not yet. That was just a sedative to keep her quiet. Okay, okay. So esme’s fine, baby is fine. There’s no lasting injury. Not yet. No! Not ever. Okay, I-I’ve got to get you out of here. You go. I’ll be just a moment. No! No! Stop it! Give — stop it! Aunt liesl! Listen to me! This is not what britt would have wanted. My britta cannot want anything anymore. She’s dead because of her! Oh. Okay, so you would kill a mother and her baby?

Nein. I would not. Not the baby.

What do you remember about your visit to josiah?

[ Sighs ] Sorry. I don’t remember much of anything. I only know I visited because it was my first time on an airplane. I remember looking out the window at the clouds and harmony giving me a piece of gum so my ears would pop, but…that’s about it. And that’s the only time that you went to visit him? As far as I can recall. Shiloh made harmony cut ties with josiah when we joined dawn of day. Yeah, of course he did. He had to cut off your escape route. Why? Do you think josiah knew who my birth father was? Well… look, my reporters are still searching for other members of the commune, but we do think that, you know, josiah probably would be our best bet. Well… here’s hoping you find him. And soon. In the meantime, it’s so important just to stay positive. Okay? I know. And…I am. Yeah, you are. Good. And if I can ask… if you’ve got time and you have the energy, just to give carly a call, okay? She’s just concerned that with the stress of the pregnancy, any more bad news about the search for your biological family could just be a little overwhelming for you. Well, mom doesn’t know that — that willow’s sick. No. No, willow asked me not to say anything, and — and I haven’T. She’s just — she’s worried. And to be honest, I’m worried, too, just that maybe you’re losing hope. Believe me, I am holding onto hope with both hands. I am determined to be here to see my daughter and wiley grow up.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: Hmm. You have no idea how much I needed this.

Finn: Actually, I think I do. In fact, I will hold you as long as you need. I’ll hold you until this entire nightmare’s over.

Steffy: Will it be? Or is sheila gonna be in our lives forever?

Finn: Well, sheila’s in custody, right? Maybe we’ll luck out.

Steffy: You heard bill what he’ll do if she doesn’t get released.

Finn: Would he, though? After all this time, he would come forward about what your mom did and turn her in.

Steffy: He’s determined to help sheila resorting to blackmail. I mean, there are so many women he could choose from, women who actually add to his life, fulfill him. And who does he turn to? Sheila. Sheila carter.

Sheila: Are you sure it’s safe to talk?

Bill: I have taken care of everything, but nothing is guaranteed. So I wanna err on the side of caution. Keep your voice down and keep your distance.

Sheila: Yeah. But if we have this room to ourselves.

Bill: That’s the very opposite of what I just said. And it makes me wonder if you’re trying to avoid an answer.

Sheila: What?

Bill: I need to know if this is real.

Sheila: I can’t believe you even feel you have to ask that.

Bill: I have felt like this before, only to be let down. I’ll not be used. Is that what you’re doing, sheila? Are you using me?

[ Bag zipping ]

[ Door opens ]

Katie: Oh, my.

[ Laughing ]

Carter: Yeah. I forgot to lock that again.

Katie: Ah, and let me guess, you were working out again?

Carter: Guilty as charged.

Katie: Oh, oh, hang on, hang on. Before you button up, there’s something you need to do first.

Carter: Somebody’s in a good mood.

Katie: Well, how can I help but in a good mood when I walk in on this?

[ Carter chuckles ]

Carter: I’m sure it’s more than that. Your visit with bill, it went well?

Katie: Okay, hang on a second. So I am here in your handsome arms, and you wanna talk about bill?

Carter: Not if you don’t want to.

Katie: Hmm. Well, my visit did go well. Yeah. I just can’t get over it. Sheila finally captured, and that’s all because of bill. He’s really a hero.

Steffy: If we give in, if we trade sheila’s freedom for my mother’s, we’re endangering all of us. Why can’t bill see that?

Finn: He can’t see anything, steffy. Sheila’s got some sort of emotional hold on him.

Steffy: And that is a truly frightening thought to know that bill has some like sick crush on a psychopath. What do we do, finn? What do we do? Sheila cannot be released. But if bill is serious about threatening my mom, I think our– our hands are tied. I don’t know.

Taylor: Okay. I have one question. One very important question. Who is throwing the party? Me or you?

Steffy: Ah, party? What, what, what, what party?

Taylor: Come on. I can’t be the only one that wants to celebrate. Sheila’s finally behind bars.

Sheila: Am I using you? If you mean by using, wrapping myself in your incredibly strong arms and not wanting you to let go. Connecting with someone in a way I’ve never connected with anyone like that my entire life. I’ve– I thought you felt the same way. That you were enjoying every minute of it.

Katie: You know what’s sad? When bill found out that I was concerned about him, it– he seemed surprised.

Carter: Did he?

Katie: Yeah.

Carter: Well, knowing bill he had something sarcastic to say.

Katie: I– that’s just it. I mean, he has, shall we say, a big personality, and none of that was there. That bluster. It was like he was so vulnerable. Something that I’ve rarely seen. Something’s been off with him for a while lately.

Carter: Well, it’s a good thing he wasn’t the least bit off when sheila came knocking on his door. We all owe bill our gratitude, and now we can focus on other things. Better things.

Katie: Mm. Much better things.

Taylor: [ Chuckles ] Steffy, you should have heard me when I got your text that sheila had finally been arrested. I screamed, “yes!” Right in the middle of my colleague’s speech. Now he won’t stop talking to me about alternative modalities for anxiety.

Steffy: How was the conference?

Taylor: It was great. Sold out. Thank you. That– I don’t wanna talk about that. I wanna hear about how everything went down. So– so wait. Bill is the one that found sheila and turned her in?

Finn: Yeah. It was bill. He’s responsible for all this.

Taylor: Wow. Our family is safe again because of bill spencer.

Sheila: Look, we’re gonna have many more nights together in front of the fireplace. Just get me out of here. Please, just take me back home.

Bill: Home? You really think this can work, the two of us?

Sheila: Well, given the way things have gone the last few weeks, I’d say yes.

Bill: Why did you follow me that night?

Sheila: From el giardino? I– I don’t know. I saw you sitting at the bar by yourself, staring off, and you just looked so lonely. And it intrigued me. I’ll be honest, I was bored. I was bored. My situation being alone and following you, well, that was going to be an adventure. The all-powerful rich, mighty bill spencer, where was he heading off to?

Bill: Not what you expected, I’m sure.

Sheila: No, it definitely wasn’T. I never expected you to walk down the beach and plop yourself down in the sand. And I knew that approaching you would be a risk. But I don’t know, there was just– there was something that said I had to take that chance.

Bill: We talked until the sun came up.

Sheila: And you could have called the police. You could have easily overpowered me. Turned me in. But you didn’T. And I– I still, still can’t believe that.

Bill: I can’t either. There was something about the desperation in your voice, the loneliness in your eyes. That night, we connected in a way. Well, like you said, in a way that I’ve never connected with anyone. My god, what does that say about me?

Sheila: That says you’re tired of faking who you are and that you’ve been with the wrong women. You’ve been with good girls most of your life. Bill, good girls who didn’t truly understand you. They wanted to change you. Wanted to make you more like them. You’re not one of them, bill. Neither one of us are. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Carter: You know, the best part of all of this?

Katie: All of what?

Carter: Sheila being arrested.

Katie: We no longer have to live in danger.

Carter: Yeah. Yes. But I was going to say your gorgeous smile.

Katie: [ Chuckles ]

Carter: I like seeing you happy.

Katie: I like being happy. It definitely feels like there’s a weight lifted. With sheila in custody, we can concentrate on better things on the future and all those wonderful moments yet to come.

Sheila: Other women want to change you. They wanna tame you and turn you into a weaker version of your true self. But not me. I know there’s nothing wrong with you. I understand you. The core, just like you do me.

Bill: Steffy came to see me.

Sheila: Did she?

Bill: She asked a lot of questions. Questions I’m not sure I even have the answers to. Katie as well. She called me a hero.

Sheila: That’s exactly what you are. You’re my hero. Oh, come on, bill. Please tell me you are not wavering because of something a logan has said.

Bill: I am putting everything on the line for you. If we pull this off, I lose everyone. My kids will hate me. Katie, brooke. I say goodbye to everyone in my life.

Sheila: Yes. And you say hello to someone who understands you.

Bill: Is this real?

Sheila: I– I know that this seems sudden, but I think I have more than shown you how I feel.

Bill: You’re talking about a dance with the devil. If it’s real, it will be an unforgettable ride. If it’s not, I know you, sheila carter.

Taylor: What a way to kick off the new year, huh? Sheila getting caught. It has to be a good omen, right? I am so optimistic right now about my future. I’m back in la, making up for lost time with my grandkids. My– my career is booming. And you know what else? I have a new friend, brooke freaking logan. After everything we’ve been through, I think this is gonna be my best year yet.

[ Knock on the door ]

Taylor: I’ll get it.

Finn: Look, she’s right. Okay? This will be her best year.

Steffy: From inside a cell. We can’t let that happen. We can’t give in to bill’s blackmail.

Taylor: Chief baker, hi.

Chief baker: Dr. Hayes. How are you?

Taylor: You know what? I am excellent. This news about sheila.

Chief baker: It’s about time, right?

Taylor: Yes.

Chief baker: May I?

Taylor: Yes, please. Come on in.

[ Door closes ]

Chief baker: Hello, steffy.

Steffy: Hey.

Chief baker: Finn.

Finn: Hey, chief baker.

Chief baker: As happy as we all are, capturing sheila was really just step one. There’s a whole lot of work to be done before prison becomes her permanent address.

Taylor: Yeah. I mean, I understand that there’s gonna be a hearing, but we all know what the outcome’s gonna be.

Chief baker: Well, that’s why I’m here, in fact, to review your statements, make sure everything is in order for trial.

Bill: If you prosecute

sheila, she won’t be

the only one behind bars.

If sheila goes to jail,

taylor goes to jail.

Taylor: Steffy and finn will do whatever’s necessary to put sheila carter in prison. My asthma felt anything but normal.

Chief baker: I just wanted to reiterate how important your testimony is going to be.

Steffy: I want sheila to pay for what she did.

Finn: There’s no doubt she belongs in prison.

Taylor: Yeah. And stephanie and finn will do whatever they need to do to cooperate. And we all will. Everyone in our family wants to make sure sheila never walks free again.

Chief baker: Exactly what I wanted to hear. Well, thank you all. I will be in touch.

Finn: I’ll show you out.

Steffy: Thanks.

Taylor: Bye. Oh, my gosh. Sheila’s arraignment can’t come soon enough. She’s gonna be locked up forever.

Steffy: I really, I really don’t wanna talk about sheila right now, mom.

Taylor: Hey. What’s going on?

Steffy: Oh god. There is just so much to be thankful for. So much joy around us, and I think that’s– that’s what we need to focus on, okay?

Taylor: Okay. Okay. Yes. There is so much good. You can focus on your amazing husband and your beautiful kids.

Steffy: And you, my mother. I am just so– um, I’m so proud of you. The woman that you are. You deserve to be happy. You deserve the brightest future imaginable. You said this might be your best year yet. And I want you to know that I will do everything I can to make that happen, okay?

Taylor: I– I love you so much, baby. Thank you.

Sheila: I know why you’re questioning this, why you’re protecting yourself, and it has nothing to do with me. Has to do with what you’ve been through in your past with those bitch logans that put– okay. I– I’m sorry. It’s just that they’ve– they’ve always tried to change you, and that’s why you’re having a hard time understanding what we have together here. They don’t appreciate you. They never did. Not the way that I do. They couldn’t possibly. Neither one of them would’ve ever walked out on you if they did. And that’s something I will never do to you. No, not with the connection that I– I have with you. Connection that I have been looking for my whole life. Someone who– who can handle me and stand up for me. And I know that you’ve been looking for that too.

Bill: Looking? I’m thinking that person didn’t exist.

Sheila: No, I’m here. I’m right here. If you’re there for me, I will be there for you, and I will be a powerful force behind you. Can’t you see it? Bill, the– the possibilities, the two of us together, there is nothing that we can’t do. I can already feel it. I am so ready to love you the way you need, the way no other woman has. But you’ve gotta believe me.

Bill: I wanna believe in your feelings for me. That you’re telling me the truth.

Sheila: I promise you, I am.

Young & The Restless Update

Y&R logo

Update written by Barbara

At the Society lounge, Billy and Lily are sitting side-by-side with long, drawn sad faces after their first couples counseling session. Billy tries to remain optimistic, telling Lily that they can continue to go for counseling and do whatever they need to save their relationship. Lily says “we need to be honest, as things have been heading downhill for months. She asks him “we don’t need to keep doing this, right? We can’t keep doing this.”

Nick comes to Sally’s suite and after she welcomes him in, she spots the paper with the first trimester information by. She quickly but not discreetly crumples it upand throws it in the trash can. Nick asks her what it is and when she tells him that it’s a pitch draft she’s been working on for Jill at Chancellor-Winters, he offers to read over the pitch and reaches down for it. Sally manages to stop him, telling him that there’s no need until the pitch is completed.

Nick offers to get some takeout for them, which Sally is in favor of. After he leaves to get the food, she removes the paper and tears it up. Nick returns with nachos and extra guacamole. Sally calls him the “perfect man” … brings her soup and ginger ale when she doesn’t feel well, and nachos when she does.

She and Nick hit the sheets and when he goes to take a shower, Sally opens the bag of nachos, takes a whiff and gets queasy from it.

At the Abbott house, Kyle and Summer are having a disagreement about her impending trip to Paris with Harrison. Summer reiterates what she told Kyle at Jabot, that she is worried about the danger in Genoa City.

Kyle is concerned about the conflict this is bringing to his and Summer’s marriage. When he mentions Phyllis, Summer strongly suggests that he not make things about her mother, when it’s actually about Diane and one chaotic thing after another that she has caused since she returned to Genoa City.

Kyle reminds Summer that Phyllis lured Jeremy to town, but Summer says that a criminal mastermind like him would have found out Diane’s whereabouts anyway. Kyle and Summer look at each other lovingly and hug. Summer tells him that unless he is strongly against her going to Paris with Harrison, she wants to start packing. She and Kyle are on the same page about protection for their family so he agrees that she could go to the textile show in Paris and bring Harrison with her.

On the Crimson Lights patio, Sharon Rosales (Sharon Case) observes that Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) is deep in thought and appears distraught. She asks if he’s okay and he mentions that he’s worried about a friend.

After Sharon goes back inside the coffeehouse, Chance comes in and mentions that he’s been alright and will continue to be okay with eating dinner alone, without Abby and Dominic. Sharon convinces him to go get takeout and the two of them come back with Ethopian food from a restaurant Chance recommended.

Sharon is enjoying the food and the company so she suggests that they could do this again next week, like a private supper club. After a little convincing, Chance tells her that he’s in.

At the Glam Club, Jeremy and Diane are doing some flirting, the outcome of which is him repeating his request that she come up with a way to prove her loyalty to him.

Later on, Diane meets up with Jack on the Crimson Lights patio and is confident that Jeremy is taking the bait and falling into her trap. She has come up with an idea for Jeremy’s loyalty test, and it’s finding a crime to commit. Jack tells her that he does not like the sound of this, but Diane assures him she can pull it off. She mentions that with success, Jeremy will be putty in her hands.

She says that she will need to steal something of very significant value and Jack offers to remove a few items from the Abbott safe. Diane declines, telling him that this would be too obvious because Jeremy could easily figure out that he was being set up. She says that she needs to steal from someone who would never under any circumstances help her. Jack and her rule out Phyllis for being too much of a wild card, and Ashley, due to her being Jack’s sister would lack credibility.

So by process of elimination, Diane says Nikki is left as the only coven member she could steal from. Grinning, she says that since Nikki was partially responsible for bringing Jeremy to town, as she says that Nikki deserves a little larceny coming her way.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

right. I have jam a meal, ginger and peppermint. Ah, I wasn’t sure what you liked . Thanks Chav. But you didn’t know what to go to all that trouble. Are you kidding me? It’s the least I could do. Considering you spent the entire day I skating with me and the kids. You know, I was coming down the stairs. I heard Thomas tell Jack that today was lit.

Oh my God. Where do you learn? What do you mean? Where did he learn that? When you have a dad as cool as me, you know, you pick up a few things. . Oh, well for the record, I also thought today was lit.

Yeah, me too.

I’m thinking maybe we should get you to a hospital. What now? What? And tell them that I sne. You heard Rex? Yes, I did. He said that my test results could mean that I’m relapsing, but they also might mean nothing. Yeah. And hopefully that’s the case, but I don’t want to take you to chances, so come on, let’s go get you checked out.

No, I don’t want to. I wanna stay here with my darling husband and have dinner. In fact, maybe you could make us some charter. I think that’s exactly what the doctor would order.

So what are you saying these blood test results mean? It doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re relapsing. Look, I know that you are trying to be optimistic, but there’s no denying these numbers. Kate, in my m i results were almost identical last fall, but, but the rate of decline is vastly acceler. What does that mean?

That means that Kate and I might be in trouble. I suspect that Marlay is too,

oh God, to think I trusted in your loyalty. You don’t know the meaning of the word loyalty. Come on God, just because I have a little compassion for the woman. Compassion. Compassion for a sociopath and disregard for your wife. No, no, no, no, no. Not true at all. I just think you’re being a little unfair here.

Unfair. Kristin is an evil lying bitch, and you take her word over mine. Do you know how that makes me feel? You know that I feel. I feel so utterly, utterly betrayed.

Really? Oh, I’m sorry sweetheart. I, I guess I just got caught up in the moment. Yeah, it’s, it’s okay. It’s okay. That’s why we’re rehearsing here. We wanna make this fight look as real as possible here. It’s the only way I’m gonna get Kristen to trust. Yes. And as soon as you do, I hope you can find out what she has over Brady.

I don’t understand. The arch is right here. I I, I just checked on it the other day. Stop, stop, stop. Stop lying. I’m not lying. Brady, somebody took it. This is another one of your tricks, isn’t it? No. No it isn’t. And you have to believe I’m done. I’m, oh, I’m. You understand? I don’t you find that damn flower right now, or you’ll never, never see Rachel again.

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

What? You took a video of me falling on the ice. Yep. The total wipe out. I mean, your other fault we’re good, but this one was just epic and I promised the kids I would send it to them. No, no, no, no, no, no. You can’t do that because then they will use it against me forever. I don’t care. I’m sending it. Oh.

What’s wrong? Ah, just my ankle. You think it’s sprained? No, no, it’s just sore. It’s been a long time since I’ve skated. Uh, cool. Let me have it, what, get up here. I’ll massage it. You don’t have to do that. No, I want to. I want to. And, and then maybe you can, um, accidentally delete that video. Okay, maybe. Come on.

We’ll see how good your healing powers are. Careful.

So I don’t suppose you have any more of that serum. We only had one Viler begin with the lab, used some for their analysis, and then they administered the doses and there was just a little bit left. Not enough to cure one person, let alone three. We can’t be reproduced only with the orchid that we made it.

Okay, so we’re in the same boat as before. No, no. We’re at the mercy of whoever delivered that serum the first time around. No, because we are not gonna just sit around and wait for a miracle. We are gonna find some other viable treatment and we need to warn Kate and Marlene. I’m glad we put our plan on hold over the holidays.

I don’t like fighting with you, even if it is. I’m right with you, sweetheart. Well, let me tell you something. If this works, we may finally get Kristen out of Brady’s life. Good? Yeah. Hold on.

Hey, happy New Year, Eric. I you, Hey. Looks like you had a champagne incident. Ah, yes. Don’t like that. I’m sorry for popping your mic. This, but No, no, no. What, what brings you by? Um, I’m looking for Brady. Uh, can’t help you. We just got home from the in and he wasn’t here. By the way, thank you for volunteering to watch Rachel.

For us, it gave us a chance to have a love night on one . Yeah. I’m glad you enjoyed it. But to be honest, I had an ulterior motive. What does that mean? It gave me a chance to kidnap.

You quit playing games with me, okay? I am not. I’m not. Why would I do that? When you are threatening to take my child from me, which by the way, is a despicable heart listening to do. Are you kidding me? You’ve been holding Marlene’s life over my head for the, for the last couple months and Kate’s and Cas.

Yeah. Well, Rachel is an innocent little girl. Rachel, didn’t you think, didn’t you think I wanted to bring my little daughter? No, I did not. But you gave me no choice. Gimme the flower. Gimme the, give me the flowers. I can’t for last chance. Brady. Brady, I can’t. As you complain, you can. It’s not Kristen. Don’t will tell Rachel that you said goodbye.

No, Brady, please. You can’t do that. No,

I swear to you. I swear to you on Rachel’s life that I’m telling the truth. Someone stole the orchid police.

How does that feel? Pretty good actually. You really know what you’re doing. . I dated a physical therapist for a few weeks. It, uh, obviously didn’t work out, but. She taught me a thing or two. Clearly, my ankle feels better already. Glad I could help.

It’s Alex.

Hey. Hey. I didn’t think you’d pick up. Are you still mad at me? No, we’re good. Well good. That makes me happy. You know, I just wanted to call and apologize for being such a jerk earlier. I just keep getting this feeling that Chad keeps trying to find ways to spend time with you and I, anyway, it is behind us now.

I apologize and I hope we can just move forward. Already done. Good. So tonight you want to grab some dinner? Maybe I can pick you up at your. That’s okay. I’ll meet you somewhere. Okay. How about the bistro? The bistro? Perfect. See you soon.

Heading out, Alex and I are gonna grab dinner, but thank you for the massage and for today. It was, um, it was really fun. Yeah, anytime.

Who will steal the or, I don’t know. I really, I don’t know. There is a full house upstairs and any one of them could have wandered down here and taken the, or Kristin and Kristen, you, you, you had, you took the one thing that could, that could save Marlena and Kates and Kayla’s life, and you left it in an area where an army of people would have access to it.

How could you be that careless about someone? I, I, I. They are not supposed to. They’re not supposed Who? Who’s not supposed to what? Look, ej he, he decided to secure the tunnels after Leo Stark set up camp down here and, and the construction has been going on at since last fall. Yeah. I can tell. I can tell there’s construction going on.

Yeah. When I came down here, what is your point with all that? I just figured everyone would stay clear until the construction was done. Wow. Figured wrong because usually with construction, there’s a construction team that you know is around all the time while the construction is going on. He’s to you.

There’s some guy with a hard hat who has the orchid. He probably gave it to his wife, Kristin. No, no, no. It’s here. It has to be here, Brady. No, it look it. I know I’m sure. To somewhere in this house. For your sake. For your sake, hope to God it is

you. Kidnapped our granddaughter. You’re messing with me, right? No, Rachel is safe. She’s, she’s here in Salem and she thinks she’s having a fun adventure in Salem with who? She’s with a friend who’s completely trustworthy. Did Brady sign off on this? I, I wouldn’t have done it if he hadn’t. I promise you, mom, nothing happened or will happen that will ever bring trauma to her at all.

And this is all an act just for Kristen’s benefit. Oh. Why that Flying around? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But to involve her kid Rachel is fine. I believe that it’s just that something like this could push Kristen off the deep end. Absolutely. Much as I dislike that terrible woman, any mother being made to believe their child had been abducted mom, it’s the only way we can neutralize.

She’s been blackmailing Brady for months. She demanded that he break it with Chloe and forced him to move her in here. I knew it. I knew it all along. What in the world does she have over him? Your life?

Thanks, Kate here. Yeah, I will. Uh, I’ll tell her. I love you too. Bye. So I guess that’s not good news. Kayla’s test results were almost identical to yours,

so I guess we’re relapsing together.

Could you pass me the pepper? The pepper is next to the salt. This is bland. You’re gonna have to talk to your cook about that. Hey, this is serious. Yes, I know. I, I, I know it’s serious. I know that I’m getting sick again, and I know last time I almost died, but I didn’t, and I don’t intend to die this time either.

So just pass me the pepper and let me enjoy my dinner.

Roman is going to break the news to Kate and hopefully he’ll be able to convince her to come in for more tests. Yeah. Somebody tells me my mom’s gonna put up a fight. Oh, you know Roman will fight too. Yeah. Um, I should, I should call

Kayla. Kayla. Hi.

So, okay. No, no one is here except for Harold. And he hadn’t seen the orchid anywhere in the house. He said that, uh, no one’s been in the tunnel since the construction started. He’s sure about that. Positive. Positive. Now, we were all warned to stay away because of the toxic dust and all the other serious hazards.

And he said, um, the, the foreman, he ran a very tight ship. Mm-hmm. , uh, none of his, his workers would ever steal anything, especially from the Demaris. Well, you know what, Kristin, that, that brings everything back to you. For the last time, Brady, I did not move the, or maybe you got rid of it. And why would I do that?

Don’t know. I don’t know. Maybe, maybe outta spite. How about that? Oh, oh, really? So if, if I destroyed the flower, I wouldn’t have leverage over you and you know that I would never give that up. And besides, I don’t really want Marlene and the others to die. Well now they might. Then Mike, Kristen, because of your carelessness.

I’m sorry. And your selfishness. Okay. And your I’m Soutter Insanity about I’m thing. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I really didn’t want any of this to happen. Well, here we are, and if anything happens to those three women, their blood is gonna be on your hands.

So Christian’s the one that provided the. Only after Brady agreed to dump Chloe. You know, we’ve always known that she was manipulative, but I never believed she’d even go this far. You know, doc, I had these very suspicions months ago. Do you remember when I caught Brady going through Kristen’s things? Yes.

You thought he was looking for the serum. I was wondering if she got it from Rolf and was using it to blackmail Brady. That doesn’t make any sense because once we were all cured, Brady didn’t go back to Chloe. No, he bought Kristen here to stay with us. Why would he do that if the threat to us was over?

According to Christian, it’s not

claims that all three of you, you woman, are gonna need second shine and possibly a booster. What? She won’t, she won’t turn over the orchid that we need to make the serum unless Brady keeps doing what she wants. Oh God, I don’t have more shots. Oh, you, you feel you’ve been feeling okay? Haven’t Johnny?

Yeah, dog. Oh, excuse me, ma’am. Oh, excuse me. Goodness. I’m so sorry.

How you feeling? better. I just, I just got so dizzy all of a sudden. Yeah. Thank you.

You know what? You’re burning up. You have a fever. We need to admit you immediately. No, I have so much work to catch up on. I, I, I have messages to return. I’ve got charts to review. I cannot, all the people you care about would want you to take care of yourself. I cannot believe this is happening again. I don’t want you to worry baby.

Listen, we’re gonna beat this thing just like we did last time. There’s no doubt in my mind,

Hey, to beat this, you need to be in a place where they can do everything possible to make sure it doesn’t get worse now. No. What do you mean? No? No. I mean, no. I mean, I can’t go through that again. All right. The, the, the weeding and the fear and the, the wondering what’s gonna happen because that’s my idea of hell Roman.

I refuse to do it.

I can’t do that. Katie. Okay, I get that. Alright, I get that. It’s hard. Really hard. And I’m gonna be here with you and I will be with you every step of the way, as will your son and the entire team at university. And when we get you there, they’ll be able to monitor. You’re not listening. I will not go to that hospital.

Is everything okay? Chad? I’m glad you here. Maybe you can talk some sense into this one. What’s going on? Nothing. The virus at Orpheus infected her wrist is back. What? Okay. If she needs to get to a hospital as soon as possible, don’t you agree? It doesn’t matter if he agrees, okay, I’m not doing it. I’m not going to the hospital.

End of conversation. Okay, wait.

I’m sorry about the bistro. I had no idea that they were close for renovations. That’s okay. I, uh, I actually prefer what we scrounged up in the kitchen. A little grilled cheese and tomato soup. Yeah, it’s a classic. It is a classic. Especially on a cold night like this. Hmm. Stephanie? Um, . I just wanted to apologize for the way I was earlier.

I hate the way I acted. Jealous, insecure, territorial. I’m not that guy. Well, at least I wasn’t that guy until I met you,

Alex, I promise you have no reason to feel threatened by. Like I keep saying, we are just friends. Friends who almost hooked up not too long ago, but we didn’t, I was worried about my mom’s illness and he was still craving his wife. You know, he is gonna be ready to move on at some point maybe, but that has no bearing on our relationship.

I am with you, not Sha,

when are you gonna get that through your

hmm. . Okay. Key. Can you hear me? Key. She has a pulse part week. I need to call an ambulance. I’m not waiting. I’m gonna take her to the hospital right now. Call my sister. Tell ’em we’re coming. Okay. Hey,

come on. But yet, could you just hand me my tablet over there? I might as well do some research if I’m stuck here. Okay. Oh, don’t think you should try to relax. No, it’s not. There is someone out there who may have found a different way to treat this disease, and I’m gonna find out who that is. Oh, sorry, Chad.

Hi, Chad, everything okay? Uh, no. No it isn’t. Um, uh, I’m at the pub and Kate just passed out. Roman told me to let you know that they’re on their way to the hospital now. Okay. Okay. We’ll be ready for her.

Uh, I’m sorry I tell you this, but your mom passed out of the pub and your dad’s bringing her in. Okay. Um, I’ll meet them downstairs.

You need a calm lady,

sweetheart. That’s, that’s the second time you sneeze today. Oh, okay. It’s probably nothing dying. Yeah. Do you think that Christian was lying when she said that everybody would need additional doses? Brady doesn’t think so, but he wasn’t willing to chance it. Brady, he’s sacrificed so much giving up the woman that he.

How could Kristen be so cruel? Why didn’t Brady just tell us what Kristen was holding over him? Because it was part of the terms. Brady didn’t keep quiet. She was gonna destroy the orchid who told me in the moment of frustration. So it was your idea to force her hand for Brady to tell her that she will never see her daughter again unless she forks over that.

It should be Richard and or as her feet. Oh man, I dunno about this here. Kristin’s such a, a loose cannon between this whole blackmail thing blowing up in her face and being rested for brainwashing her brother here. The walls are closing in. This whole damn thing can go sideways in a hurry. Hey, we’re gonna find out soon enough.

What happened?

Where’s he working? It’s gone.

This is nice being on the ice all day, even in the sun. I was freezing. Mm. I’m glad I could warm you up.

It’s gotta be. At least 10 below out there kind of dreading going home.

So don’t

stay the night. I mean, if you want to, of course there’s no pressure

actually. I really like that.

Listen, you have got to go call John in Marlena. Okay? I will in a minute. I just wanna make sure you’re okay first. I am fine. Now it just makes me so angry that even from behind bars, Orpheus is still wreaking. Hav on our life. Don’t say his. Listen to me. We’re gonna figure this out. I promise you. Listen, I am all for optimism, but we need to be realistic.

We survived last time because we got lucky. Someone anonymously dropped off the serum. I wish I could find out that who that person was. Yeah, I dropped the ball on that one. I was just so happy that the three of you were okay. You cannot blame yourself. We were all just so relieved that that nightmare was over.

Well, let’s just hope that whoever it was gone through for us, again,

we searched the. Damn house in the orchid, isn’t there? Well, maybe it wasn’t there in the first place. Maybe she has it hidden somewhere else. She says that she doesn’t. Yeah, right. Okay. I don’t know what happened to it, I swear. And why should we believe you? Because your son threatened to take off with Rachel and I wasn’t willing to risk losing her.

We didn’t have any problem risking the lives of three women to give what you wanted. You didn’t have any problem taking. Marlena, Kate and Kayla’s kids away from them. You know why that is? Cause you’re still a monster. You as twisted and s Okay, John, I mean, you have quickly just turned on me. I’m guessing that, uh, Brady and Eric aren’t the only ones who are, who are putting on a show you.

It’s obvious that you are the one who took my daughter. Yeah, I know that Brady arranged for you to be with her that night. You did it. You. Or a bunch of liars. You have no right to the moral high ground. Do you know what Marlena? All I’m doing is trying to get my family back. He never tried to take Rachel away from you.

He tried to be reasonable about the custody. But you know what? There’s no reasoning with you because you are deranged and you are pathetic. Kristin, what the hell? After all these years, you’re still coming after my family. And now you have put your own daughter in the direct line of fire. No, no, no, I didn’t.

Mother, son, you sit free, drink goodbye to for a. If we really lost that orchid, little Rachel could lose her grandmother. How do you think that’s gonna make her feel when she finds out that you were responsible for that? She’s not only endangered the lives of three women, you caused your daughter so much pain.

You traumatized her to know him that. That wasn’t enough. Only cause of your damn sick obsession with my son.

Maybe. Maybe we’re enough. Maybe. We’ll, we’ll find, we’ll, we’ll, we’ll find out. There’s all this stuff. I mean, maybe we’ll find the orchid. I What if we don’t, I don’t know. What if we don’t? What’s the plan then? What if the symptoms come back? Steve? Hey partner. Where do I feel you on what’s going on here? Hey.

Is Marlena feeling okay? And she’s fine. Why? I have some bad news.

Oh, Rex Mom. Hey, hey. How you feeling? I didn’t wanna go to the hospital. I know, I know. I’m sorry For whatever it’s worth. We took a vote when you were on the floor of the pub and you lost.

It’s bad, isn’t it? I am just glad that you are here.

It’s so strange. I felt fine. Seems like a moment ago, and now I wake up here. I feel so weak. It’s happening faster this time. Just rest. Okay, just rest. I’m gonna take good care of you.

Will you do me a favor? Anything?

Don’t lemme die here.

Babe, is your leg okay? Uh, yeah. It’s just my ankle. It’s been a long time since I’ve skated. Oh, well, I can massage it for you. Oh, that’s okay. Chad, already, Chad gave you a massage. Okay. It wasn’t like that. I swear. Okay. Okay. Okay. I’m not jealous at all. I just don’t want to spoil the mood. Oh, is this how I get you to behave?

Hmm. It’s promise of sex. Well, I prefer to think of it as making. Love . Hey, now you definitely spoiled the mood. Just stop. Roger that

sweetheart. We’re gonna need to get you to the hospital, honey. It was a couple of us knees. I’ll be fine. Steve said Caden. Caleb were fine too, right before they passed down. Ju just let me at least get you off your feet. Okay? Honey, please just do this for me, please. Sure. Okay, I’ll lie down. Okay? Yeah, come on.

Uh, if you hadn’t been playing your games, the doctors could have found a cure by now. And if anything happens, Kate or Kayla and they don’t make it, that’s on you and Amy. That’s just not my invention. I I, I was planning to turn the orchid over at the first sign of any symptoms

We need to find that way. Yes, and I do wanna find that orchid as well, but guess. There is a, uh, pressing matter at hand. Really? What’s that? I want my daughter back now.

My sister had the orchid the whole time. Yeah. But according to John, it’s gone. So Kristen knew that Kate and the others would need another dose and didn’t say a word. If she’d have given us that damn flower at the start, we’d be in the clear. What the hell is wrong with her? Well, apparently she’s using the orchid to control Brady.

In other words, playing games with people’s lives. Yeah, and that means that the women we love could pay the price. Mom, I know you do not want to be here, but this is the best possible place for you right now without an attitude. Look. Doing research. We’re talking to experts. We’re doing everything in our power to find another cure.

I thought we were cured. I know with dad it only took one dose and I just assumed that. I’m sorry. I need to really, I’m so sorry. I need help. Please don’t do that. Don’t blame yourself. Is there anything else I can do for you? Besides let you go home

Call your siblings, tell them not to come. I

mom.

I feel so strange. Strange how? Mom? Mom, which crew? I know. Mom, can you hear me? Treat.

Hello? I love you.

You think could have stolen the orchid? For what reason? I, how the hell do I know? Kristen? I’m just asking you if it’s possible. Well, he’s halfway around the world. I don’t see how he.

Mommy. Oh my gosh, sweetheart. Oh gosh. Are you all right? Yeah, but I missed you. Oh, honey, I missed you too. I’m glad. So we couldn’t come home because you and daddy were sick. He told you that. Are you better now? Yes. Sweet. Yeah, your daddy and I are perfectly fine. Wish we could say that about everybody else.

Had to go break the news to Kayla about the orchid. Is there anything I can do to help? Actually, yeah, you could, uh, call Stephanie for. I’m sure she’s gonna want to be here for her mom. Absolutely. I’ll call her. I’ll call her right now.

I’m right.

So Kristen had the orchid all along and she lost. Oh, I’d like to throttle her right now. I’d like to do a lot worse. We’ll figure out a way to make her pay as soon as you’re all better. Did you find anything useful in here? No, nothing. I combed all through the research on this disease, any kind of other treatment, and there is nothing.

So without the orchid, we’re doing everything we can to find that right now. And in the meantime, unless some of that serum might show up, I just don’t know how long we go. Wait,

I’m scared, baby. The fight isn’t over yet. You can’t give up. You know what? You and Kate and Marlena are the strongest women I know. This disease doesn’t have a chance against. You’re all gonna be fine. I just know it.

All right, one more time. Claire. Oh god. Doctor, it’s time to car. No, no, no, no. Do it again. Try it again, Rex. Try it again. The more we can do. Time of death. 8 0 2. No, no. Don’t stop. I’m sorry. I’m sorry, dad.

Again, shh. Can this guy take a hit?

Sorry, Chad, my man. You aren’t interrupting us this time. Uh, Steph, it’s Chad. You, um, you gotta get to the hospital right away. It’s your mom.

Come on Steph. You don’t have much time.

Thank you. Here we go. Thank.

How you feeling? Sweetness. Look, I just went 10 rounds with a Ali. Oh, you look very beautiful to me. Always.

You know, nothing should surprise us about Kristen, but I can’t believe that she would knowingly put three people’s lives at risk because of her obsession with Brady. Don’t worry about Kristen. What I need you to do is focus all your energy on beating this thing, getting better. I wish I had your

What if we don’t get a hold of that orchid soon?

Don’t say it. Look at me.

You need to keep the faith we have to.

So breathe out. Searching for the orchid. Yeah. In fact, he’s out there right now with a couple of black patch investigators.

It’s already thought that maybe Christian is lying about the orchid being stolen. I wouldn’t put that pastor, you know, doc is a general rule. I don’t put anything past Kristen, but I think she’s on the level this time.

Have to hope to find it before it’s too late.

Damn. He’s got, you’ve done everything medically. Do more, do more, do more. She’s gone. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. She’s God

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

She looks like she’s,

we just founded a way back to each. We were gonna get a ride. We were gonna get a ride.

I’ll give you two. A moment alone.

Hey Dan. Yeah, I just wanna say that she, Mom told me many times how happy you made her. She loved you very much.

Baby.

How many times have we overcome obstacles that we didn’t think were possible to overcome all these years? How did we do that? Huh? I’ll tell you how. Our love.

Do I need to remind you the power of our love?

No, you don’t need to

listen.

I need you to go take that. Roman Kate, baby. They have each other. I’m not gonna leave your side. Look, I’m fine. I’m, I’m, I’m gonna be stable and I.

Young & The Restless Update

Y&R logo

Update written by Barbara

At the Glam Club, Ashley meets up with Phyllis, who has summoned her to tell her that Diane is back in Genoa City and never ran in fear of Jeremy. She also mentions that the situation with Diane is wreaking havoc with her relationship with her daughter. Summer no longer confides in her or trusts her after Diane has corrupted her.

Summer comes into the club, and when she interrupts Phyllis and Ashley’s conversation, Phyllis tells Summer that she is too hurt to speak with her at that point. Summer remains steadfast and after Ashley excuses herself, Phyllis asks Summer how she would like being treated like trash and not being believed, over and over again. Summer apologizes profusely and tries to make peace with her mother.

Daniel comes by the club and offers to get the three of them around of drinks, but Phyllis gets up, tells Summer she has a meeting anyplace but there, cannot continue their conversation and leaves. Summer then turns to Daniel and opens up to him, venting about how she is caught between her mother, Kyle and his mother. Daniel tells her that he’s always available to listen, but at the same time says that she never should have held back to begin with.

As much as she is upset with her mother for reaching out to Jeremy and letting him know Diane’s whereabouts, Summer lets Daniel know that Jeremy is a criminal and he would have tracked Diane down on his own anyway.

Summer continues her diatribe, telling her brother the kinds of the things she has been stuffing down just so she can go along with whatever Kyle wants, for the sake of their marriage. Daniel expresses concern about Summer lying in this manner.

Summer also mentions that she doesn’t know how much longer Kyle can turn a blind eye to the havoc Diane is creating before it starts to come between her and Kyle openly and seriously.

At the Abbott house, Jack is anxious and on edge about Diane’s plan to lure Jeremy into a false sense of security about her wanting to get back together with him. She asks Jack bluntly if he’s concerned that she won’t be able to pull it off … or that she will.

Jack tells her that he doesn’t think his feelings matter much, he is just uneasy about the whole situation. Diane strongly suggests to Jack that he put his personal feelings aside for the sake of making their plan work.

Diane mentions that she has to convince Jeremy he’s in control, that she is coming back to him freely. She says that in order to pull the whole plot off, she needs to return to the hotel. Jack tells Diane that he does not want her returning there because it’s not safe with Jeremy living under the same roof.

Jack wants Diane to remain at the Abbott house, but when she is adamant about going back to the hotel, Jack reconsiders.

Kyle comes into the living room and joins Jack and Diane’s conversation. Diane tells Kyle that she wants Jeremy to think that she had been living in an apartment and moved out of it and back to the Grand Phoenix.

After Diane leaves the Abbott house, Jack and Kyle talk about how Phyllis has become extremely upset and when this happens, she’s a wildcard. Jack mentions to Kyle that he hopes that Summer can get her mother to see reason because Phyllis has a pattern of going to extremes, without thinking about the consequences.

At Devon’s penthouse, Abby arrives with Dominic so he can spend time with Devon. Tucker comes by asking for another visit with Dom. Abby agrees to it, but adds that she wants to be present during the visit. Tucker is happy to be spending time with Dom, particularly because Abby and Devon are going to be in each other’s lives forever, due to their connection to Dom.

For Devon and Dom’s sakes, Abby struggles to be a little nice to Tucker before he has to go. After Tucker leaves, Devon thanks Abby for being willing to let Dom and his grandpa Tucker have bonding time. Devon and Abby agree that Dom can never have too much love.

Abby lets her guard down, telling Devon that things feel so uncomplicated and right when she is with him. He lets her know that he feels the same way about her. They lean in for a passionate kiss. Devon tells her that he wants her to stay and she tells him that the feeling is mutual. Clothes come off and they make love on the couch.

Tucker goes over to Diane’s hotel suite, knocks on the door, and with his voice disguised says it’s Jeremy. Before she even opens the door, he let’s her know it’s Tucker, When she opens the door, she greets him with “you’re a son of a bitch.”

Tucker looks around the room and says it looks like she’s packing because she got a suite of her own to move into at the Abbott house. Diane is quick to correct him that this is not the case, it’s the other way around, that she moved back into the hotel from the Abbott house.

Tucker tells Diane that he needs to know when Jeremy is leaving Genoa City. When Diane asks him why, Tucker says he has big plans and wants Jeremy gone so he won’t mess things up. Diane lets Tucker know that she is displeased with him telling things about Jeremy to Ashley, because this only fuels Ashley’s hatred for Diane.

Diane also says that she has lost Jack, but Tucker disagrees, telling her that she has Jack wrapped around her finger. Then he says that in fact, he could learn a thing or two from Diane. As he gets ready to leave, he mentions that they could both get the Abbotts of their dreams.

Tucker then goes to Crimson Lights, where he comes upon an upset Phyllis, who’s at the counter where the cream and sugar are, leaving Amanda a long, sad voicemail. Tucker picks up on some of it and observes that Phyllis probably needs someone to talk to. At first, Phyllis blows him off, but he persists, letting her know that they don’t need to be friends in order to have a mutually beneficial relationship.

Meanwhile, Diane goes over to the Abbott house to let Jack know that she has moved back into her hotel suite and has unpacked her belongings. Kyle tells his mother that although he hates the plan the three of them are involved in, he’s got her back and offers to help however he can before heading upstairs to check on Harrison.

Jack tells Diane to feel free to rely on him and let her guard down whenever she needs to. Ashley comes into the house as Diane is hugging Jack and thanking him for his support. Ashley angrily confronts them, demanding to know what’s going on.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

cody? Are you here? Felicia! Hey. You just missed it. Missed what? Well, I brought in the new year by staying up all night helping a-a struggling filly. She was, uh, trying to give birth. Uh! It reminded me of the time I helped britt with that miracle baby born on christmas eve. You know, if you think about it, I guess every life is a miracle.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. So, uh, what brings you to the q stables so bright and early? Mac has been trying to reach you. He’s in the middle of an investigation. Otherwise he would have come here to tell you himself. Tell me what? I am so sorry, cody. Britt died last night. Maxie jones, you and britt westbourne were friends and related by marriage, right? Do you have a comment on her tragic death? Can you please have the decency to let us grieve before you hound us with questions? Hey! Hey! Leave her alone! Whoa, whoa, whoa. This is my hotel. Get away from her! If you don’t leave now, I’m calling security. No. Leave! Go!

[ Sighs ] Thank you, nina. I can’t believe this. Any of it. No. Neither can I. Liesl, what are you doing? What does it look like? I’m saving what’s left of my daughter. I need to make a phone call.You already made a phone call. If your lawyer doesn’t want to show up, I don’t know what to tell you. I need to talk to my son. Britt westbourne is dead. She wasn’t just my ex-girlfriend, she was — she was an important part of spencer’s life. And I need to reach him before anyone else tells him about it. But he’s not taking any of my calls. You can do that on your own time. I mean, we got a string of murders we’re trying to solve here, and I need answers. So why don’t we start with you telling me about your relationship with spencer’s girlfriend, esme prince?

[ Monitor beeping ] Can’t you take these off me? Sorry, the staff’s not allowedto remove the restraints. All I remember is… waking up here with some police detective asking me questions that I couldn’t answer. Are you sure there’s nothing else you remember, esme?

[ Door closes ] Did we have a good night’s sleep last night? And did we make all gone with our breakfast smoothie? Where were you last night? My favorite security guard looked the other way again and covered for me while I slipped out for a little night air. And where’d you go? Oh, you know, this way and that. Did your, uh…walk take you anywhere near the pier? I don’t know what you mean. Word is someone’s sunk a hook into britt westbourne last night. Oh, dear. How is she? She’s dead. I don’t know how I couldn’t have seen it. I mean, I must be blind. It was right in front of my face. What was? Not what. Who. It was you.

Oh. Hi, honey. What are you doing here? Well, um… trina called. Said she’s worried about you. Said you’re having a hard time shaking the news about britt’s death. It’s just so tragic and unbelievable. And [Sighs, chuckles] She wasn’t just my boss. I-I respected her. She was my friend. I know. It is tragic, baby. Look, I want you to know, right here and now, that I will stand by your side. I will hold your hand at britt’s memorial service, okay? I’m here for you. Because… this morning when I woke up, I watched you sleep. And, baby, I was just… I was overcome with gratitude for you and for us. Look, life goes on. Just has to. So, I went to the florist and I said, “help me. Please help me with something that will give us hope for the future.” And… what is that, babe?

[ Chuckles ] That is a calathea. The florist says it symbolizes new beginnings. Well, that gave me hope. Because you and i are a new beginning. Britt got nicked by the hook and — and — and the venom poisoned her. So she died on the night of her first birthday party. It’s tragic. It’s hard to make sense of it. Yep. W-w-why would the hook target her? From what I understand, the attacker was targeting someone else. Britt stepped in and saved one life, only to lose her own. Yeah, but she was a doctor. She was destined to save so many more lives. Her poor mother.

[ Sighs deeply ] Does dr. Obrecht know? Britt died in her mother’s arms. At least she wasn’t alone. This is just so unbelievable. I mean… you know, as smart and as beautiful as britt was, she… life never seemed to give her a break. That sounds like someone else I know. Thank you both for — for meeting me here. Um… I had — I talked to the funeral home and they need something for britt to wear.

[ Sighs ] And aunt liesl, she’s not up to it, of course. And honestly, I’m not sure I am, either. Did anyone talk to the police? Are they okay with us going to her room? Y-yeah. I talked to mac and he said it was fine because britt was not the intended target. She… she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Wrong for her, but she did manage to save someone else’s life. Britt would have loved to hear people talk about her as a hero.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] And I could just s-see her lapping it up. Making all the haters eat every nasty word they ever said to her.

[ Exhales deeply ]

[ Voice breaking ] Why isn’t she here? My whole life I was always a loner. I didn’t make many friends, and then to meet your bff in your 30s… how can I live in a world without her?

[ Sobbing ] Hey. Remember the last time we saw her? How hard she pushed for us to become friends? Let’s honor her in that way. And — and let’s spare liesl from having to pick out her last outfit. You’re right. Let’s do this. For britt. Packing up britt’s office is not something that needs to happen right now. Well, on the contrary, it can’t wait. Do you want me to call scott? No, he’s busy taking care of the arrangements, dealing with the press, attending to all the details. The least I can do is collect britta’s things and keep them safe. Even if I couldn’t keep my own daughter safe. Someone had to look out for our daughter. Protect her from all those people out there trying to destroy her. And no offense, lover, but you’re not exactly the man you used to be. Stuck in the chair like that. And you still can’t seem to hook the right fish. I never said I was perfect! And…when you bat .300 in baseball, even if they’re not all home runs, you still get into the hall of fame. That’s me. Besides, I’m gonna make it right this time. How about you make it right, now? Like, how, oh, so wise one? Confess. So our daughter can go free.

[ Recorder beeps ] Is that really necessary? I’ve already admitted that esme’s carrying my baby. What happened there? Esme and spencer break up, and — and you what? You’re just there to pick up the pieces? I’m not a predator, if that’s what you’re saying. Okay, when’s the last time you saw esme? Must have been trina’s trial. Did you know she was pregnant at the time? Of course not. So when did you find out? Like, before or after she allegedly went on the run? Where are you going with this? Where am I going with this?

[ Mumbles ] The problem I’m having is if esme’s the killer, sure, I can see her getting the drop on diane. Maybe, maybe she nicks britt with the hook dipped in venom. But I don’t see her taking down a military veteran like brando or a cop — cabrera. Especially if she’s seven months pregnant. What are you saying? I’m saying if esme is the killer, I think she’s getting help. My memory begins when I woke up in this hospital bed. I mean, being pregnant? How far along? Seven months. You really don’t remember how this happened? Or who the father is? I’m sorry, but no. The… the police say that I’ve done terrible things, but I-I-I don’t remember any of it. I mean, revenge porn? I-I don’t even remember my own name or — or what i like for breakfast! All right. It’s okay. I think I know someone who can help you.

[ Sighs deeply ]

[ Knock on door ]

[ Door opens ] Hello. Wait. I… I know you. I-I-I remember that face. But… I know who you are.

It’s empty. So is the closet. Okay. Thank you. Thank you so much for the info. All right. So, apparently britt had some of her things shipped on her birthday, I’m guessing, to wherever she was going on vacation. Her entire wardrobe? The front desk also said that she arranged to have a bunch of her clothes delivered to G.H. Charities. It’s almost like britt knew she wasn’t coming back. No, no, no way. She had just thrown herself this huge birthday party. Yeah. Yeah. But why have us plan it and insist that we become friends? When we’re so obviously not. Yeah, but the point is, britt wanted us to be. It was really important to her. It’s almost like she knew we would need each other. Wait. Her will. She said she’d just written one and was leaving everything to me. I mean, who — who does that at her age? And then plans a vacation out of nowhere? Not to mention her giving cody the heave-ho. It’s like she was burning all of her bridges. Yeah, but why? And why couldn’t she share that with me? We were friends. Best friends, but… I guess I never really knew britt at all. Okay. All right. I want you to sit, both of you. Why? Because… I know something that you two don’T. But you should. I promise you, no one will take anything that’s in here without checking with me first. Okay? And I-I’ll make sure that everything that belongs to the hospital is returned and that everything that belonged to britt will get to you. Thank you, austin. And thank you for your birthdaypresent for britta. It meant so much to her. Seeing that photo montage of britta and the people in her life — that was proof. It was proof that her life was worthwhile. I think every life is worthwhile. My britta was loved, wasn’t she? Yes, she was. Of course. She really was. Love, real love was in short supply when britta was growing up. I wonder if she ever knew how much she was loved when she saw those faces on the screen. I don’t think we’re ever really gonna know for sure. But I’m gonna choose to believe that it changed her mind. About what? About leaving town for good. What do you mean, for good? She was just going on a vacation. That’s what she wanted everyone to believe. Yeah. She was going away to die, wasn’t she? Esme, this is dr. Kevin collins. Doctor, um, yes, tha– that’s right. I-I remember that you’re a doctor now. Um, but that name. What did you say your name was again? Kevin collins. And what kind of doctor are you? I’m a psychiatrist. Do you know what that means? I lost my memory. I’m not stupid.

[ Chuckles ] You’re a shrink. Are you here to pick my brain? I’m here to listen. Nurse baldwin. Uh, uh, that’s your name? Baldwin? Elizabeth baldwin. I’ll be in the hallway if you need me. May I? So, esme. Is there anything that you’d like to ask me or anything you’d like to tell me? You have a very trustworthy face. And a familiar one, apparently. It’s like… I know you, but… …I-it’s just outside of my reach and I can’t put my finger on it. Have we met before? Actually, our paths have crossed. I’m related to spencer by marriage. Who’s spencer? Well, maybe you remember his father, nikolas cassadine? I’m sorry, but, no, it doesn’t ring a bell. Anyone else we would have had in common? As a matter of fact, yes. You know my twin brother, ryan. So that’s your plan? Throw me to the wolves? Look, the next time I hook another target, the cops are gonna realize that our daughter is innocent. That’s a vast oversimplification of a complex problem. Not if you do it right. Ouch! Ow! What happened to you? Let’s just say I took one for the team last night. Are you badly hurt? Oh. Like you care.

[ Groans ] It’s — it’s not like I don’t share your motivation. It’s, uh… it’s your methods I have an issue with. Oh. That’s the thanks I get? You do your very best for your child. You give her your whole heart and soul. And when it turns out that not only is she wanted for murder, but she’s also become public enemy number one, I did what every good mother would do, and I tried to set things right. Trust me, our daughter will thank me. Not if the rest of our family has to pay a price. What are you blathering about now? Are you suggesting that I’m esme’s accomplice? I’m suggesting that, uh, esme’s the key, whether or not she’s a killer. I don’t follow. You don’t follow? Well, she’s seven months pregnant. I’m right on that, right? Okay. So how does she go from hiding to on the run to maybe killing people, maybe not killing people all by herself? Someone’s looking out for her. Someone’s helping her. And who would have more reason to do that than the father of her baby?

I love the calathea. But what I love most of all is your thoughtfulness. And I didn’t think I could love you any more.

[ Laughs ] Well, you are welcome. And I love you so much, baby. It feels like, um… ever since trina was arrested, I can’t stop thinking about all the bad things. And our family, we’ve been through a lot over the past year, right? Um, but I feel like we’ve come through it stronger. Trina was acquitted. You and your father — your relationship is better than ever. And aunt stella, she accepted me.

[ Both laugh ] Thank goodness. Right? Yeah. No, um… things are going good with trina and me. You know she told me she loved me the other day? She did? Oh, my god, honey. That was a major, major accomplishment. Yeah. It is. Oh, my god. In a few weeks, I am gonna walk down the aisle and I am gonna be your wife. And, honey, I can’t wait. Mm. If you think about it, you and britt had a lot in common. I’m not at all surprised you two hit it off. Yeah, um… yeah, we had a connection. But, um… I wasn’t straight with her. Britt had something that I wanted and I thought that I could ma– [ Sighs ] You know, it doesn’t really matter what I thought. Truth is, I used her until she caught on and then rightfully kicked me to the curb, which was a smart decision on her part. Except now she’ll never know. Brit will never know what? Um, that I learned too late, that all I really wanted was her. For some time, britt knew that she had a ticking bomb inside her. What does that mean? Well, it means that she inherited something from her father. Britt had huntington’s disease. Oh, my god. When I was working at G.H., I saw people with huntington’S. It took a terrible toll on their lives. Well, why didn’t britt tell us? Why — why’d she face this alone? No. Well, she wasn’t alone. She wasn’T. She had her mom, and scott knew. Yeah, but why wouldn’t she tell me o-or brad? Well, she didn’t actually tell me. It was aunt liesl. And aunt liesl told me when she — she was just overwhelmed with everything that britt was facing. She had to talk to someone. Wait a minute. Austin knew, too, didn’t he? The birthday gift he gave her? The photos of her life? That’s why he did it. Yeah. Seeing all the people that she loves gave her courage.

[ Sniffles ] At my worst moment when the baby switch came out, britt didn’t walk away from me, and I never would have walked away from her.

[ Voice breaking ] I didn’t need her to be brave. I just need her in my life. I still do.

[ Exhales sharply ] We all do. Liesl, I’m really sorry that you have to hear this from me. I-I-I begged britt to open up to you, but she just [Sighs] She couldn’t, I guess. I don’t know. I mean, the only reason that I know that she was leaving town for good was I happened to catch her in a particularly vulnerable moment. You don’t understand. I’ve never been prouder of mein britta.

[ Exhales sharply ] You see, my relationship with britta was… complicated, to say the least. There were times she hated me and times that I felt she betrayed me. But somehow, despite all that, we — we found our way back together, not just as mother and daughter, but as good friends.

[ Laughs ] It’s just like her to spare the rest of us and sail off into the sunset alone. But you said she came back for us? Why? What changed her mind? You’re sure you don’t remember my twin brother? He’s kind of hard to forget. Is he as kind as you are, doctor?

[ Chuckles ] Well, I guess you could say he’s being kind at the moment because he has no other choice. You actually used to take care of him. I did. Was I a nurse? Mm. No. You, uh — you had an internship. Elizabeth: The patient is in with dr. Collins. Not for long. Martin? I’m in the middle of counseling a patient. Yeah, well, that’s the problem. One man’s counseling is another man’s third degree. I’m afraid I have to ask you to cease and desist immediately. On whose authority? By the authority of the superior court of port charles county. This poor, unfortunate soul may be your patient, but as of… one hour and 15 minutes ago, she’s my client.

Can I, uh, leave it to you two to…

[Voice breaking] Try to find something for britt to wear? Absolutely. Don’t worry about it. We’ve got it under — under control. Okay. I’m counting on you. You’re strong. I love you. I love you. What do we do now? I was kinda hoping you could tell me. Austin: Liesl, you’re a doctor. I’m a doctor. And we know better than most that every life ends. So i t’s how you chooseto live your life that matters. And if britt knew that huntington’s was bringing her close to the end, let’s consider her last week. She delivered a breach baby on christmas eve. She threw an epic party surrounded by people who loved her. People she loved. Affection. Support. Love. And her final act was to save someone’s life. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m incredibly sad that she’s gone. I am. But if you have to exit this world, that is a pretty badass way to go. I, uh… I appreciate your kind words, austin, I-I do. But… my daughter is gone. Ryan: Oh, that’s rich. You spend a lifetime ignoring that esme even exists, and now you’re what — joan crawford? Joan crawford? I like wire hangers. But what’s this you’re saying about the rest of our family? Wouldn’t you like to know? Ryan, don’t push me. Is something the matter with our baby girl?

[ Inhales sharply ] Well, that depends. Do you knit? I mean, not big things. Just, like, little baby booties and things? I mean, the little one could probably use protection from the cold winter wind. Are you saying — yes. Our baby… is having a baby.

[ Gasps ] I’m not gonna sit here while you go on a fishing expedition. All right. Well, uh… I have a feeling I’m gonna have to ask you more questions at some point, so don’t leave town. You know what I think… what’s that? …Detective falconeri? Mm-hmm? I think you got nothing. And if I got nothing, why are you getting so angry? Okay. Hello, esme. My name is martin grey, and I am your attorney. Try not to hate me. I was assigned by judge holloway. Um, I have no idea if I have any money or any way to pay you. Oh, no, no, that’s okay. This is a pro bono case. That means, as far as you’re concerned, it’s absolutely free. The only thing you have to do is exactly what I tell you. Starting with do not talk to anyone. Not even the doctors? Especially the doctors. Just doing my job. Far be it from me to argue with a judge.

[ Monitor beeping ] Okay, my young friend. First order of business is probably to get you to eat something. Even if it is hospital food. Uh, nurse baldwin, if you don’t mind, I think I’d like to confer with my client in private. If that’s okay? Oh, oh, please don’t make her go. She’s been so good to me. Young lady , for the time being,the only person in this town that’s good to you is yours truly. Everyone is being so sketchy about what I’ve done. Acting like it’s not this revenge porn thing. You’ve done nothing until proven guilty. Guilty of what? Well, ms. Prince, it’s murder in the first degree.

I can’t believe it! I’m gonna be a grandmother! Franco never had kids of his own. Neither did steven and lars. This is my first grandbaby. Maybe it’s not too late to have a family of our own. There could even be a place for ava. Oh! Dare to dream! But a baby? This is so exciting. I — I’m gonna make up for lost time and be there when that baby’s born. Right there in the room to support my baby girl. You do know that’s impossible, right? I’ll just speed up the timeline. Now you’re talking. Allow me to help. Talk about impossible. Just let mama bear finish the work that she’s begun. And papa bear will sit tight until baby bear and lil baby bear in the oven are free. I need to prepare. When do you plan to attack? The minute that my friendly guard is back on duty. Don’t worry. Mama will take care of everything. Kevin. I thought you’d still be interviewing esme. Session was cut short when her lawyer showed up. Wow. Anyone I know? Martin grey. Martin grey? Wow! For someone who showed up with nothing, not even her memory, esme sure has friends in high places. About esme’s memory. You think she’s faking it? I don’t understand. What’s wrong with her? Should we call for her doctor? I got this. Would you step out and give me a minute? Gladly. Thanks for nothing, judge holloway. Who do I gotta bribe to get off of this? I swear it wasn’t even my turn in the rotation. Don’t blame the judge. It wasn’t his doing. Oh, my god. It was you, wasn’t it? What’d you do? Pull some strings to get me assigned to this crazy case? I did. Why? Because esme is carrying my baby. Who better to trust with her case than family? Esme, if you’re faking, I’ll know. So don’t even try. You know, when my marriage ended with jordan… mm. …I never thought I’d get married again. In fact, I was so down on the institution altogether. But even though living with you has been a joy, I just want to make everything official. I’m so excited to take these vows and become your husband. I wasn’t gonna tell you this. Oh. No, no, it’s okay. But, um, I was at wyndham’s the other day. Yeah? And I saw these little towels, and they have a little “his and hers” on them. And I almost got it, but I was like, no, no, no, no. It’s just too cheesy. That’s not cheesy. I think you should have bought them.

[ Chuckles ] Look, I don’t care if they said his or hers, or husband and wife. I want whoever comes into our house to know how absolutely proud we are to be each other’s significant other. Okay. I’m gonna go buy those towels. Go buy those towels. Go buy the towels. Come here, baby.

All that’s left is an empty hotel room. God, she must have felt so alone and so scared.

[ Exhales sharply ] If I only knew. Hey, you heard nina. It’s the way britt wanted it. I don’t care what she wanted! I want her, the one and only britch, my best friend in this whole lousy and messed-up world! And now she’s just gone, just like that. Without so much as a goodbye! And now I’m the one left all alone to go shopping for this stupid funeral get-up.

[ Breathing heavily ] You know what? Don’t worry about it. I’ve got it handled. This is gonna be britt’s last look ever.

[ Sniffles ] I’m not letting you choose some boring dress at wyndham’S. Well, if you think I’m letting you dress her in some fast fashion trash, you’ve got another thing coming.

[ Sighs ] Come on, maxie. She needs something with style and — and impact. Maxie: Style? Yes! I would like to spend some more time observing esme and consult with the neurologist that dr. Ashford brought in. But my initial assessment… is that esme has suffered significant memory loss. Permanent? No way to tell. But if so, we may never know where she’s been or who’s been taking care of her. Well, at seven months pregnant, esme was in no condition to be able to take out an officer or kill britt westbourne on the pier last night. So the more pressing question is, who really is the hook killer? I don’t believe that britt’s murderer will go unpunished. I don’t know if you know this, but the police have a suspect, here in G.H. Under guard 24/7. All I remember is waking up in here. I-I haven’t killed anyone. I couldn’t! You do believe me, don’t you? It’s okay. The best thing you can do for yourself is just rest. Nurse baldwin. Yes? You do believe me, right? Nikolas, my priority is finding lucy. I haven’t got time for this. Hey, you may have been assigned the case pro bono, but I will double your normal fee. The mother of my child, she must be kept safe, not hounded by the police until she gives birth. And then what? Triple your normal fee.

[ Scoffs ] Deal. Esme is in good hands with uncle martin. I am so happy we had this little talk. I will just find another hook, and then we are back in business. Uh, what happened to the first hook? Ugh, it got snagged. But don’t worry. There’s no way they could trace it back to me. Just let me do what I do best. And you just look forward to the happy day when we’re all reunited as a family. The three of us! You miscounted by two. There’s ava…

[ Scoffs ] …And… oh, and the little baby bear in the oven makes five. That’s it. I always knew you were a softy. Hey. Grandpa. All right.

[ Door closes ]

[ Monitor beeping ] Thank you, felicia, for coming out here in person to break the news about britt. Thank mac. It was his idea. He would have come himself if he wasn’t so busy on the case.

[ Voice breaking ] Can I hug you? Yeah. Okay.

[ Sighs ] Okay. All right.

[ Door opens, closes ] Hey. Aunt liesl, I got your text. Aunt liesl! I can’t sleep. Can you give me some thing stronger? Yes. That can be arranged.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sally: I know this is last-minute, but I really need to see the doctor right away. Yeah. Yeah, I’ll be there. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. I’ll see you soon.

[ Sighs ]

Adam: Is everything okay?

[ Mug thuds ]

Abby: Good morning.

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Hi.

Devon: Good morning, pretty lady.

Abby: Ooh.

Devon: I got you some coffee.

Abby: Thank you.

Devon: You’re very welcome. I had the, uh, nanny take dominic down to the kiddie gym so he can get his steps in for the day.

Abby: Oh, you should have woken me up. I love watching him play there. He loves that big green ball.

Devon: Yeah, he does.

Abby: [ Laughs ]

Devon: I know. It’s very cute. I like when he walks around on those little padded mats until he tumbles over.

Abby: Yeah. Well, we should go together sometime.

Devon: Yeah, we will. Just thought you’d like to sleep in this morning since you probably never get to.

Abby: Thank you.

Devon: Yeah. How you feeling?

Abby: About last night?

Devon: Yes.

Abby: Um…good. Yeah, um… I mean, I guess I have to admit that I felt a little hint of guilt when I was walking down those stairs.

Devon: Well, we weren’t betraying anybody this time.

Abby: I know. It’s just, my divorce is so fresh, and…I mean, this is brand-new.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: But when I look at you and I hear you talk about dominic… I know I’m in the right place. I feel happier and lighter than I have in a long time.

Devon: Well, I’m very happy to hear that ’cause I feel the exact same way.

Abby: [ Inhales deeply ]

Lily: Jill, I’m very excited. This is definitely the right move.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Well, I will let devon and audra know, and I will chat with you later. Bye.

Audra: Sounds like good news.

Lily: Yep. Jill pulled the trigger. Moving forward with the ipo.

Audra: Excellent. We are back on track.

Lily: Yes. This is a huge step.

Audra: It certainly is. This is gonna be a huge success for all of us in unimaginable ways.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Kyle: I appreciate your dedication to the job, but there’s really no reason for you to be here. Maybe you should take a leave of absence until we’ve dealt with stark.

Diane: There is no place I’d rather be. I refuse to let him ruin every aspect of my amazing new life. Oh, good morning, summer.

Summer: Hi. We need to talk.

Ashley: Where are you going?

Jack: Upstairs. I need to get ready for work.

Ashley: Mm-hmm. You gonna ignore me like you did last night?

Jack: I didn’t ignore you.

Ashley: Yeah, you did. I wanted to talk to you about you and diane kissing, and you just kind of blew me off.

Jack: I didn’t have the time or the energy for it. The truth is, I don’t now. If you’ll excuse me…

Ashley: Please —

Jack: …I need to get to the office.

Ashley: Please don’t go anywhere until we have a chance to speak. Please?

Jack: It doesn’t make any sense, ash. I do not understand your continued vendetta against diana.

Ashley: And I don’t understand your complete denial of her history.

Jack: Yes, she has a past. We all do. But since she’s gotten back to genoa city, she has done nothing to you.

Ashley: That’s true, but only because she hasn’t been given the opportunity. If she found out she had leverage over me, she would not hesitate to use it.

Jack: That is absolutely absurd.

Ashley: Okay. Look, I am trying here, alright? I really am. And I’ve decided that i understand that you would want your son to reconnect with his mother.

Jack: Yes.

Ashley: Okay. I get that. But you have let diane back into your life, jack. And from what I saw right here last night, she’s in far too deep.

Jack: I don’t know what you think you saw, but it’s really none of your business. Whether you like it or not, diane is part of this family.

Ashley: No, I don’t like it! And as far as I’m concerned, she’s not part of this family.

Jack: She is kyle’s mother. She is harrison’s grandmother.

Ashley: I know. I just can’t get the image out of my mind of your son as a little boy crying himself to sleep because he thought his mother was dead.

Jack: Diane has changed. Kyle has forgiven her. As far as I’m concerned, that makes her welcome in our home.

Ashley: I can’t forgive her. I can’t forgive her. Does that make me a bad person? I don’t think so. I don’T. Given the pain she’s caused this family, I think that viper deserves permanent exile from this house.

Jack: Wow. Isn’t it ironic that you, of all people, are opposed to a viper coming into this house?

Devon: I do need to get to the office soon, but what do you have going on today?

Abby: Well, I have to meet noah at his club.

Devon: Yeah?

Abby: But first I have to go home and change because I can’t be seen in the same outfit two days in a row.

Devon: That’s very true. You’ll have the whole town talking about it. It would be shameful.

Abby: Well, I don’t know if it would be shameful, but i think people would think it was very weird.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: So, yes, that means i have to go home.

Devon: Is there a problem with going home?

Abby: It doesn’t feel like home. I mean, it’s the chancellor mansion. I’m no longer a chancellor. I feel like I’m an intruder.

Devon: Yeah. No, I get that. I do. There’s a lot of changes happening right now. It’s gonna take a minute for people to adjust to it. That’s all. I think as long as we focus on dominic, though, and make sure that this transition is as painless as possible for him, we’ll be alright.

Abby: Yeah. I couldn’t agree more.

Devon: Yeah, but you can take things slow. Just decide what’s best for you and dominic and take one step at a time. You don’t have to rush into any of this.

Sally: What do you mean, “is everything okay?”

Adam: I don’t know where the confusion lies. Those are three pretty simple words.

Sally: Were you listening in on my call? ‘Cause I thought we came to the understanding that you were gonna butt out of my business. So, how much did you overhear?

Adam: I didn’t hear a word. I saw you huddled over here. It seemed like you were hiding from someone. Were you?

Sally: No. I just wanted some privacy.

Adam: Here at crimson lights? Yeah, sure. I mean, no one ever comes here, except the entire town.

Sally: Okay, well, I just needed my tea. I needed to make a call. My tea had the priority. So, you know, why don’t you just mind your own business?

Adam: Okay. Just worried about you, sally. You look tense and a little tired.

Sally: [ Scoffs ] Well, I didn’t ask for your opinion of my appearance.

Adam: Are you sure that you don’t need a sympathetic ear? I mean, maybe you would feel better if you told me what was keeping you up at night. What?

Sally: Don’t you really want to ask who is keeping me up at night?

Adam: I didn’t mean anything by it. And I’m certainly not asking who you’re sleeping with.

Sally: I don’t believe you.

Adam: Look, you said that we’re done. So we’re done. I get it. We’re both moving on from our halcyon days at newman media. Although I will always remember them fondly.

Sally: [ Inhales deeply ]

[ Clears throat ] You want to know what is keeping me up at night? It’s the idea of launching my own business. Starting from scratch is anxiety-inducing.

Adam: Yeah. It is. But I can’t wait to see what you come up with next. I know I could use some help with some interior design, so i can’t wait for you and chloe to open your doors.

Sally: Thank you.

Adam: Mm-hmm. I know whatever you put your mind to, it will be a success.

Sally: What are you up to?

Adam: What do you mean?

Sally: Well, you’re just being so nice and laying it on a little thick, even though that’s not really like you. So, what do you after?

Adam: [ Sighs ] Nothing. I’m sorry that I interrupted your morning, okay? I’ll be on my way.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Adam. Adam, wait. Look, I’m sorry, okay? I forget sometimes that you can be nice just to be nice.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Well, I have given you a lot of reasons to doubt my intentions.

Sally: Yeah. Well, we’ve been very civil lately, and I don’t want to lose that connection just because I’m in a mood this morning.

Adam: Well, you’re entitled to be in a mood whenever you want.

Sally: Yes, I know, but i shouldn’t take it out on you when you haven’t done anything wrong. I just have a lot on my plate right now. You know? Maybe a little too much.

Daniel: [ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone vibrating ]

[ Cellphone thuds ]

[ Sniffs, clears throat ]

Abby: Daniel?

Daniel: Abby.

Abby: Hi.

Daniel: God, don’t you look terrific.

Abby: Oh, my gosh! Thank you so much. Ah! It’s so good to see you. I heard you were back in town.

Daniel: Yeah. Yeah, I’m glad we ran into each other.

Abby: Yeah. Um, well, I’m supposed to meet noah, but I don’t see him, so maybe we could catch up if you’re not too busy?

Daniel: No. Yeah. No, not at all. And at this moment, I would actually welcome the intrusion. So, please have a seat.

Abby: Thanks.

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Abby: So, I heard you’re working for chancellor-winters. How great is that?

Daniel: Yeah. Uh, I thought it was pretty impressive. But I guess it’s just a job, right?

Abby: Come on. It’s a huge responsibility. And you’re so creative. You’re gonna be terrific.

Daniel: Thank you. I am looking forward to just jumping into the deep end.

Abby: So, where are you saying?

Daniel: Downstairs, at the hotel.

Abby: You, heather, and lucy in a hotel indefinitely?

Daniel: Well, they aren’t with me right now.

Abby: Oh. When are they coming?

Daniel: You know, I can’t really answer that right now.

Lily: Okay, we definitely have to time this announcement properly because if we do it too early, then we risk losing momentum with the investors, or I think that we can open ourselves up to price manipulations.

Audra: Yeah, but too late, and we might not be able to generate any momentum at all.

Lily: Yeah.

Audra: I’ll run the numbers and find the optimal day to make the announcement.

Lily: I have no doubt that you will.

[ Laughs ]

Devon: Hello.

Lily: Hey.

Devon: Hey, hey. What do you guys seem excited about?

Lily: Well, jill is ready to move forward with the ipo. It’s happening.

[ Laughs ]

Devon: It’s happening. It’s happening without me having a say?

Lily: What are you talking about? You knew about this plan all along.

Devon: I knew about your plan. It’s not my plan.

[ Cellphone chimes ] What’s that?

Audra: Oh, it’s just, um, a text. Sorry. I will mute it. I’m actually gonna step outside and give you two the room.

Lily: Devon, you knew this ipo was happening all along. I mean, this is not some secret meeting that jill and I had. We had a call scheduled, and we chatted about it and decided this is what’s best for the company.

Devon: Yeah, but you made that decision without me.

Lily: No one is trying to exclude you. So, look, if you want, call jill and ask her some questions. But I’m sorry. I’ve heard your argument about keeping the company private, and I don’t agree. I don’t understand why you want to limit the growth and success of chancellor-winters.

Kyle: Sorry we’re late. I wanted to take my mother to breakfast someplace off the beaten path where we wouldn’t have to worry about stark seeing us before I came in, and she insisted on coming into the office, too.

Diane: What can I say? I love my job.

Kyle: So, uh, what did you want to talk about?

Summer: You know what? It was, uh, nothing urgent. Mariah just wanted me to remind you about that, uh, personal time that she’s taking off.

Kyle: Oh, right. Uh, she and tessa are traveling to meet a potential birth mother.

Diane: Ah, that is so wonderful. They must be so excited. I’m sure they are going to make amazing mothers.

Summer: You barely even know them.

Diane: But we work together. And I saw how special their bond was at tessa’s photo shoot.

Summer: I have to pull some files from jack’s office. Excuse me.

[ Cellphone vibrating ]

Diane: Hello, jeremy. Why give your family just any eggs

Diane: Why don’t I make the arrangements, and then I’ll text you the time and place? Okay. See you soon.

Kyle: What did he want?

Diane: He wants to meet tonight.

Kyle: So, is this how it’s gonna be? You’re at his beck and call like a servant?

Diane: Kyle, we discussed this. I’m the one who’s working him. This is all part of my plan.

Kyle: [ Sighs ] I need to tell dad.

Diane: No, no, no. I appreciate your concern, but, please, I don’t want jack following me like he did last time. I can do this on my own.

Abby: I heard you were in town, and I just assumed that heather and lucy were with you. I’m — I’m sorry.

Daniel: There’s no need for you to apologize. It’s just uncertain when they’ll get here.

Abby: Yeah, I’m sure they’re busy with work and school. But, hey, in the meantime, if you want to meet the happiest baby in the world, I would love to introduce you to dominic.

Daniel: Well, I’d love to meet him. I miss that age, you know? It goes by too quickly.

Abby: It’s the best. You know, he’s not even 2 yet, and I find myself feeling nostalgic about things he did last year. But, um, maybe it’s more than just dominic. I don’t know if you heard, but, um, chance and I — we split up.

Daniel: Oh. No. I’m sorry.

Abby: Yeah, we tried to make it work, but I guess it was just inevitable. So now I am trying to just appreciate the time that we had together and just move forward.

Daniel: Speaking of moving forward, um, I actually have to meet with lily.

Abby: Oh.

Daniel: I’m really glad we ran into each other. You know, we’re gonna have to get together soon, catch up a little bit more. And I’d love to meet dominic. Um…you have an amazing day.

Abby: You too. Bye.

[ Sighs ]

Ashley: What do you have to say, jack? Just spit it out.

Jack: Oh, I think you know. I didn’t imagine you and tucker kissing outside the front door

Ashley: Oh, so what? You have no idea what’s going on with tucker and me.

Jack: And you have no idea what’s going on with diane because you’ve made no effort to understand her. You and your allies have been small and petty and mean, and your hatred for her has no foundation.

Ashley: I disagree. If there’s anything in the known universe that has a foundation, it’s my hatred for diane. Sorry.

Jack: No, you hate the old diane. She has changed.

Ashley: “Changed.”

Jack: I have been trying to tell you this for months.

Ashley: Okay, just settle down, alright? When has diane ever been overtly evil? Not often, right? I mean, she’s subtle. She’s charming. She can act like she’s your best friend and then turn around and kick your legs out from under you. She’s sneaky and manipulative, and she hasn’t changed, jack. For whatever reason, you have bought this “poor, helpless me” routine of hers. And the one thing you know — diane has never been and will never be helpless.

Audra: What do you want?

Tucker: I want to know when or if this chancellor-winters ipo is actually gonna happen. Snails move faster than this public offering.

Audra: Don’t blame me for that.

Tucker: Who else is responsible? I literally gave you one job.

Audra: So let me do it. Okay? I was in the middle of a meeting about it when you texted me, demanding I come see you right away.

Tucker: Alright. Then how’s it going?

Audra: Jill and lily — you know, they want to get the ball rolling, but your son, devon, seems determined to fight them on it.

Tucker: Okay, so, you —

[ Sighs ] Then you convince him that it’s a good idea.

Audra: I’m not sure I can. You know, everything that happened with nate has made him paranoid, and you and I both know he’s right.

Tucker: No, he’s not! What I am doing is in his best interest.

Audra: Okay, then —

Tucker: No, audra. I am going to work side by side with my son. That’s all I want. Do you understand that?

Audra: Then maybe you take his frame of mind into account and come up with another way to make that happen. In the meantime, I’m gonna get back to that office, you know, before devon and lily get suspicious about why their ipo expert decided to disappear in the middle of an important conversation!

[ Door slams ]

Devon: Lily, you know that I’ve never supported this ipo move — because we’d be giving up too much autonomy. The whole reason that we merged our companies together is so we can run a corporation as a family. And if we go public, yeah, we’re gonna be making more money, but we’re not gonna be able to be making the decisions that matter for our company. And that’s not worth it to me.

Lily: Devon, if we sell stock, we could double or triple our valuation.

Devon: The company is doing fine. We’re making money, okay? That’s not the most important thing. And, yes, I know nate is gone, but what he almost put us through is exactly the kind of thing that can happen to companies when they go public. So, what happened to us taking time and waiting to make this decision?

Lily: Because sooner is better, and jill and I want to move forward with this. And her vote is equal to both of ours. And I agree with her. So, I’m sorry, but she and i have the majority.

Devon: Is that right? Well, then why even ask my opinion in the first place? Hell.

Lily: Look, if you can provide some legitimate reason as to why you want to stop this, then we will listen. But right now, all you have is some general vague concern. And I’m sorry, but it’s not enough.

Devon: It’s not vague. It’s not vague. And I’m never gonna support this move. It’s as simple as that.

Lily: Nothing about this is simple, okay? There are a lot of moving parts, and I really hope that I will have your support because i don’t have nate and I don’t have billy. But if I have to walk this path alone, then I will.

Devon: Cool. Then I guess I will be spending my time finding a legitimate reason to stop you from making this move.

Lily: Okay, well, you are welcome to it. But I actually have a lot of work I have to get done.

[ Sighs ]

[ Pen clatters ]

Adam: Come on. I’m a good listener. You can tell me anything, whatever’s on your mind.

Sally: I would love to. But I’m just not sure.

Adam: What does that mean? What exactly aren’t you sure about?

Sally: Anything. You know, at this moment, I’m — I’m just not sure about anything. It just always seems like things are so difficult for me. And, yeah, maybe that’s my own fault and I create my own problems, but — I don’t know — once, just once I would love for things to be cut and dried. You know, “here’s a problem? “Oh, yeah. There’s an easy solution.”

Adam: Well, I can’t pretend to know what you’re talking about, but I think I’ve seen you in enough difficult situations to know that you’ll figure it out. You know? I’m sorry that you’re feeling overwhelmed. You really do deserve a break. But by the same token, you can handle anything.

Sally: Why are you being so nice to me?

Adam: I think you know. When a cold comes on strong,

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Meet febreze’s miracle spray:

Sally: I have no idea why you’re being so nice to me. What is your angle?

Adam: Sally, there’s no angle.

Sally: Okay, then what did you mean by “you should know”? What is it that I’m supposed to know?

Adam: [ Sighs ] All I meant was you will always be very special to me. We have a connection.

Sally: That’s it? For real?

Adam: Yes. What more could there be? And I meant what I said by having a sympathetic ear. It wasn’t that long ago that you and I — we could discuss anything. So, if you ever need anyone to talk to you, just give me a call.

Sally: Okay. Yeah, I’ll think about that. Oh, I — I have to go to this appointment. Adam. Thank you.

Kyle: I know this is part of your plan, but I don’t like the idea of you going on a date with a criminal like stark.

Diane: It’s not a date.

Kyle: Okay, well, whatever you want to call this meeting. Dad and I should be close by, just in case. You know, in fact, at the risk of sounding overprotective, dad and I should be dealing with this, not you.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Look, I can take care of myself. I am as tough and wily as people have accused me of being. I just don’t have to use those skills as much these days, but i haven’t lost my touch. Believe me, I’ve got this under control.

Devon: Hey, man. Is abby here yet? No? Thank you.

Tucker: Hey. Devon.

Devon: Hey.

Tucker: How are you?

Devon: Alright. How you doing, man?

Tucker: Were you taking your phone out to call me to invite me to breakfast?

Devon: [ Chuckling ] Yeah. Yes, I was. How’d you guess? Beat me to it.

Tucker: You okay? You seem like you’re carrying some stress.

Devon: Oh, yeah? Well, that’s, uh — that’s a good eye you got. I’m just, uh, dealing with this ipo thing at work. It’s got me reconsidering the chancellor-winters merger altogether. That’s all.

Tucker: Oh. Well, sit down. Sit down.

Devon: Sure.

Tucker: So, what’s going on? What’s the problem?

Devon: Uh… I don’t really want to get into it too deep with you, but, um, I just — I lost some autonomy in the merger, and I’m set to lose even more the way things are headed.

Tucker: Right.

Devon: I’ll be lucky to have a say my own company.

Tucker: Yeah. I know that feeling. ‘Cause you want to grow the company, but you have to give up some control to do it, right?

Devon: Absolutely.

Tucker: Yeah. Which doesn’t seem quite fair in this instance because you and neil built it.

Devon: Yeah. Yeah. That’s exactly how I feel.

Tucker: Well, if it’s such a concern for you, maybe you should consider taking hamilton-winters back from chancellor and run the business on your own again. I know somebody who could help you. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Devon: Yeah, no, I said this before. I don’t want you getting involved with my business, tucker.

Tucker: No, no, no, no, no. Please don’t misinterpret me. I’m not trying to stick my nose where it doesn’t belong. You certainly have the resources to reacquire the company on your own. Uh, in fact, all you’d —

[ Sighs, chuckles ] Listen to me. I’m sticking my nose where it doesn’t belong. Sorry. I just want to help.

Devon: I know you do. I appreciate you wanting to help, but I’m not looking for advice on this.

Tucker: Understood. It’s just that I haven’t always been there for you, and since this is my area of expertise, i thought the least I could do is counsel you. But, you know, you’re an astute businessman in your own right. You don’t need to listen to other people. At the same time [Chuckles] This is the issue we’re discussing currently. You want autonomy and you want to be in control of your destiny. You should not be constricted by what other people want. At the same time, you need to realize it’s okay to go after what you want. And I just might be the guy to help you do that.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

Lily: Daniel. Hi.

Daniel: Hey. How are you doing? Um, I haven’t talked to you since new year’S.

Lily: Uh, I’m fine. Just, you know, been busy. Hoping 2023 will be a good year. How are you feeling?

Daniel: I’m great.

Lily: Are you sure?

Daniel: Yeah. I mean, you know, I couldn’t be better.

[ Chuckles ]

Lily: Okay. Come on. I saw your face when I first walked in, and then when you saw me, you kind of threw this big smile on.

Daniel: Maybe I was waiting for you to arrive to cheer me up.

Lily: Okay. What’s going on? What is it? Is it the press release?

Daniel: No. God, no. The press release is fantastic, but…

Lily: But what?

Daniel: It’s not important. You know, you have bigger concerns.

Lily: Oh, come on. Really? Not important? After everything that we’ve been through together, I mean, if you can’t trust me to tell me what’s going on, then who can you trust?

Daniel: I do trust you. I do. I just don’t want you to judge me.

Lily: Daniel, I would never do that.

Daniel: [ Inhales sharply ] Alright. Alright. Back in savannah, I made some mistakes. I didn’t respect heather as a strong woman who was capable of making her own decisions. Some of that trickled down to lucy, too. You can say there was a lot of jealousy and insecurity on my part.

Lily: That doesn’t sound like you.

Daniel: Well, I was going through a rough patch career-wise, and — [ Chuckles ] I mean, saying that I handled it badly is an understatement. And I — I pushed them away. And I’m genuinely ashamed about it. And here I am — I’m running around trying to hide it from everyone all the time while I’m just trying to get back on solid ground. But now you and devon — you’ve put me there. I mean, you have no idea how good it feels to be working on something worthwhile and lucrative. And — and it’s my hope that maybe this will show the two women in my life that I’m not a lost cause.

Jack: You know what? You believe what you want to believe.

Ashley: Well, I believe that you have brought diane’s “poor me” act.

Jack: It is not “poor me.” I have seen the fear in her eyes. She is genuinely afraid of what jeremy stark will do to her. I know you find that silly. I have sat with this man. I concur with her. He’s a dangerous man. So I have decided, yes, to protect my son’s mother, to protect my family.

Ashley: Okay, so, years ago, diane chose to double-cross a dangerous criminal, and now our family is in danger. Are you hearing this? And diane is now using the situation to embed herself into our family and into our home and into your bed. And maybe that’s the whole point of this.

Jack: If you are so indignant about who I entertain in my home, maybe you should stay elsewhere.

Ashley: [ Sighs ] Listen, I’m done settling. Because this is my secret.

Ashley: So, this is what it’s come to, huh? I’m being forced from the family home? I’m not giving an inch to diane. I belong here as much as you do. It’s my house, too.

Jack: No one’s throwing you out of the house. I’m just saying if diane’s presence here is so abhorrent —

Ashley: I am not being forced out because of your sick fixation on diane, jack. And you know what else? You might be ceo, but jabot belongs to me, too! And you wanted her to work there? I never got a vote. I’m laying it out there. Diane jenkins will never, ever be welcome in our home or in that company! Do you understand me?! Not ever.

Kyle: Hey. What’s wrong?

Summer: What do you mean?

Kyle: Well, it was pretty clear that when you said you wanted to talk, it wasn’t about mariah’s personal time. Given how frosty you were with my mom, I assumed it was about her.

Summer: It was.

Kyle: Well, we should discuss whatever it is that’s troubling you.

Summer: I agree.

[ Sighs ] Look, things are getting really tense around here. And with stark still out there as a constant threat, I’m scared. I need a break from genoa city.

Kyle: What are you — what are you talking about?

Summer: There’s a textile show in paris, and I think i should go.

Kyle: Yeah, th-that might be a good idea.

Summer: I want to take harrison with me.

Sally: [ Sighing ]

[ Sighs heavily ] What am I gonna do now?

Lily: Daniel, no one thinks that you’re a lost cause.

Daniel: Hmm. You didn’t see the look on heather and lucy’s faces when they left for europe. It’s gonna take a long time to fix my family life.

Lily: Well, you know what? I mean, there is nothing in your contract that says that you have to be in genoa city. You can work from anywhere. So, if you want, go back to savannah or join them in portugal. I mean, I think, you know, keeping your family together has to be your top priority.

Daniel: Yeah. No, of course. I mean, it’s — it’s my goal, but I feel like if I split my focus, I’m gonna wind up doing a half-assed job on both fronts. I got to do this the right way, one step at a time. Otherwise, I might never get any aspect of my life back on track.

Lily: Daniel, I’m so sorry.

Daniel: Mnh-mnh. No. No. Lily, please do not look at me like that.

Lily: [ Sighs ]

Daniel: It seems like everyone these days is looking at me that way, and, I mean, I’m getting better. I’m gonna be okay.

Lily: Okay. Just know that I’m here if you need anything, alright?

Daniel: I really appreciate it.

Lily: Okay.

Daniel: You have somewhere you need to be?

Lily: Um, yeah. I, uh — I have an appointment, so I have to go. Otherwise, I would chat all morning.

Daniel: You seem a little nervous. You expecting bad news or something? I mean, should I be the one who’s worried about you?

Lily: No, no, no. I’m fine, just, um, a little anxious, uh… but listen — I have enormous faith in you, okay? Otherwise, we would have never brought you on. And know that you are not a lost cause, okay? Bye.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Devon: Yeah, I’m definitely gonna take some time and think about what you said. I’d still like to try and figure this all out on my own, though.

Tucker: Sure. That’s prudent.

Devon: You definitely do have a point. And I know you know what you’re talking about, so…

Tucker: Consider it.

Devon: I will. I will. I’m glad I, uh, ran into you.

Tucker: Yeah, me too, son.

Devon: Appreciate the insight.

Tucker: Oh, of course. Anytime.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Devon: That’s a unique chime.

Tucker: Yeah, I know. It came with the phone.

Devon: Did it?

Tucker: Please stay in touch, huh?

Devon: Yeah, I sure will.

Tucker: Okay. See you.

Devon: Hey. I need you to find out as much information as you can about a connection between tucker mccall and audra charles. Alright. Thank you.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Sheila: And here I thought no one cared, and the woman that raised my son is checking up on me.

Li: I came to see you in the cage where you belong.

Sheila: Might not be five star. Could use an omelet station, but then, strong women like us we can handle a little temporary discomfort. In a cell for a few days, on the streets for a few weeks.

Li: You and I have nothing in common, sheila. That’s why I’m going to spend the rest of my life loving finn and hayes and you are going to spend the rest of your life behind bars.

Finn: Hey.

Steffy: Hey.

Finn: Are you okay?

Steffy: Uh…

Finn: What– what happened? I thought you’d call me on your way home.

Steffy: Yeah, I needed the drive to think.

Finn: So what– what happened? Did bill come to his senses? Did you get through to him?

Steffy: No.

Finn: What? Bill can’t possibly still be defending sheila.

Bill: 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.

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.

[ Door unlatching ]

Katie: Oh, bill. Thank god! I’ve been calling you and calling you. I’ve texted. You haven’t gotten back to me. I just– I– I can’t believe what’s happened. Sheila has finally been caught and it’s all because of you.

Li: You’re even more delusional if you’re smiling at rotting away in here for the rest of your life.

Sheila: I’m sorry. Who’s delusional?

Li: This bravado may impress the criminals you’re locked up with, but it doesn’t work with me. I know you can be scared, sheila. I’ve seen it.

Sheila: Do I look scared to you?

Li: You think this is a game?

Sheila: No, I don’T. But if it is, it’s one that I am going to win in the end.

Katie: Are you okay after sheila was here?

Bill: I didn’t realize you were still concerned about me.

Katie: Of course I am. You caught sheila and– and turned her in. I– I mean, how did this happen? Did you trick her somehow? Lure her to the house?

Bill: She, uh– she showed up here. I called the police and that’s all.

[ Katie sighing ]

Katie: That’s all? That’s incredible. So brave. We’re all so grateful, bill. Everyone. Brooke. I mean, I’m sure that finn and– and steffy, they must be elated. But– but I still don’t understand how this happened. I mean, how did sheila end up here? And– and what did she want from you?

Finn: I don’t get it. Bill called the police. Sheila’s been arrested.

Steffy: Sheila’s locked up, but bill wants her out as soon as possible.

Finn: Well, then why turn her in?

Steffy: If not, then she’ll be on the run. This way, she’ll wind up free.

Finn: By blackmailing you. So, he’s still threatening to send your mom to prison for shooting him.

Steffy: Nothing made a difference. Bill is not backing down. If we testify against sheila, if she happens to stay locked up, my mom’s gonna end up in prison too.

Li: You may think you’re getting out of here, sheila, but that’s not happening.

Sheila: Such negative thinking.

Li: Your days of terrorizing my family are over. My son. My son… nearly died at your hands. I saved him, made sure he got home to his wife and children.

Sheila: I– I really don’t want to waste this visit with you arguing things.

Li: Because you know there’s no excuse for what you did. Inflicting violence and pain to those you claim to love? And then onto yourself so you can escape?

Sheila: If I really wanted to escape, I would have, but running away is only a temporary solution.

Li: No, this is a solution, sheila. You behind bars where you can’t hurt anyone else ever again. No more violence. No deception, no threats. You’ve done your worse to me, finn, steffy and her family, going all the way back to her mother and grandmother. How you attacked them and brooke logan too? What you did to them was disgusting, but it’s over. It’s all over. You will now pay for your crimes. All these traumas will be healed and forgotten one day. You see, I believe in right and wrong. I believe people like finn and hayes deserve a happy and free life. And people like you get what’s coming to them.

Sheila: This may surprise you, but I totally agree. I’m getting exactly what I deserve.

[ Katie sighing ]

Katie: Do you know how long it’ll take to prosecute sheila?

Bill: We’re not there yet.

Katie: Thank god she didn’t get away again.

Bill: Sheila’s days of running could finally be over.

Katie: Thank god. That woman has done nothing but cause our families pain and misery.

[ Bill sighing ]

Bill: Well hopefully, we can all move on.

Katie: Put sheila behind us. You don’t think she’s still gonna be a problem for us, do you bill? I mean, what exactly did she say? I can’t believe that she would come here, of all places, for help. Did– did she have a gun?

Bill: Katie, why do you want all these details?

Katie: Because I care about you. Because the idea of sheila harming you in any way or– or worse, it’s– it’s unthinkable. I know that we have been a little out of touch lately, a little out of sorts, but I care about you. We’re family. We have a son together. We’ll always be connected and it’s just– it’s terrifying to think that sheila could have harmed you in any way. I’m just so grateful she didn’t and that we never have to worry about that awful woman again. Because of you. You have eliminated sheila carter from our lives forever. Bill… you’re a hero.

Steffy: I really thought I was getting through to him.

Finn: Well, was it an act?

Steffy: No. No, he said he heard me. He understood our feelings about sheila. The pain that she’s caused and that I had every right to want sheila locked up, but he said that there was one thing I wasn’t taking into consideration: The emptiness inside of him. That he needed a woman who could handle him.

Finn: Okay, so what’re you saying? You’re saying that bill has seriously developed feelings for sheila?

Steffy: Oh, my gosh. I can’t believe this. I think bill has lost his mind and now we may all be paying the price. 3, 4

Sheila: Li, li, li. You– you amuse me. I think you’re confusing justice for retribution.

Li: Don’t worry, sheila. Your day in court is coming. Finn and steffy will testify against you. How you shot them and left them for dead. You’ll finally pay for your crimes. You may have given birth to finn, but god help him and hayes for even having a trace of your blood in their veins. But you will never be a part of their lives ever again. You won’t be discussed. Hayes will never know you ever existed. You will be erased from all of our lives forever. And there’s not a damn thing you can do about it. Guard, I’m done here.

Sheila: Yeah, well I wanna thank you for coming to see me, li. And please, tell finn and steffy that I’m thinking about them and we’ll all be together again soon.

[ Sheila laughing ]

Katie: You’re so quiet. Is this because you’re still shaken from what happened last night? You are a hero, bill. To all of us. We know that. You don’t need to wear that anymore. You can take the sword off.

Bill: Why would I take it off?

Katie: Because you don’t need it. I know you’ve been in a dark place, but that’s not who you are. You’re not that guy and what you did with sheila, it just proves it. You don’t need that anymore. You say you wear it for protection.

Bill: I do.

Katie: You don’t have to protect yourself anymore. Our greatest threat is behind bars and you put her there.

Finn: No, that’s great. I’m glad everyone is having such a good time.

[ Phone beeping ] Hey, the kids are fine. Amelia says they want to stay at the park.

Steffy: Okay.

Finn: Hey, we’re gonna figure this out.

Steffy: I just wish I knew what bill was doing. His motives are always so obvious. Money, power, prestige. I don’t understand what he expects to get from this.

Finn: Don’t you think that sheila might be blackmailing him?

Steffy: I was wondering the same thing, but he denied it.

Finn: You asked him?

Steffy: Yeah. He said that’s not what it is.

Finn: So, you’re saying that he really wants us to let sheila off the hook because he cares for her?

Steffy: Apparently, so much so that he’s willing to send my mother to prison if we don’T.

Finn: Honey, you’re right. He’s lost it.

Steffy: If sheila is actually blackmailing him, we’d be able to find a way out of this, but we’re in trouble if bill has real feelings for her.

I like to voost it voost it

Finn: But I thought one of bill’s redeeming values was his love for his family.

Steffy: It is.

Finn: But you’re saying that’s changed?

Steffy: I don’t know. I don’t understand any of this. Bill is threatening my mother, threatening her freedom so sheila could have hers? It’s absurd.

Finn: No, sheila belongs in prison. Taylor doesn’T. She’s a good person.

Steffy: She is a good person. My mom was a different person back then. Like I said, she thought bill was taking advantage of me.

Finn: Look, protecting your children is one of the most natural instincts there is. I mean, if I were in her shoes, I don’t know. I would have– the thought of bill hurting you? But now, he is. He is threatening our family and your mother. If sheila doesn’t stay locked up, there’s no telling what she could do to us. I mean, she’s already proven how depraved and murderous she could be.

Steffy: Bill swore he was never gonna say anything about my mom shooting him. And now, it could all come out because what? He’s– he’s lonely? This isn’t the bill I know.

Finn: Look, before he helped save me from sheila, I never thought much of the guy. He seemed very full of himself. But now, to defend sheila? To put us all at risk? Your mom, my mom, kelly, hayes?

Steffy: I get it. I know. Bill talks about not wanting to hurt another woman. Not cause them pain. But, he thinks with sheila, he doesn’t have to worry about that.

Finn: So, he’s fallen for her because she doesn’t have any real feelings? This is the most bizarre thing I’ve ever heard.

Steffy: Finn, it’s worse than that. It’s insane.

Officer: Rise.

Officer 2: Officer, step out. Give the prisoner time with their visitor.

Officer: Sir.

Officer 2: Did I not make myself clear?

Bill: Room clean?

Officer 2: Yes, sir.

Sheila: No one gets privacy in here.

Bill: I’m the exception to the rule.

Sheila: But why? What’s going on?

Bill: I had to make sure you were okay.

Sheila: I am now. But you shouldn’t be here, bill. This is dangerous.

Bill: Don’t worry. Everyone out there thinks I’m furious. I told them I had to look you in the eye and confront you for what you’ve done.

Sheila: Is that all you wanna do?

Bill: How are you doing?

Sheila: I’m hanging in there. Waiting for you to get me out the way you promised. Hey, you are still going to come through for me, aren’t you?

Bill: These last few weeks have been surreal for me.

Sheila: Yeah, for me too.

Bill: I’m working on everything to get you released. I can’t stop thinking about you.

Sheila: Well then, get me out of here soon so we can be together again.

Bill: Are you sure that’s what you want?

Sheila: Are you seriously asking me that?

Bill: I’m not talking about getting you out. I’m talking about whatever this is between us, whatever these feelings are that have arisen so quickly. Are they real? I’ve got to know, sheila. Are they real?

Interview with Tongayi Chirisa and Harry Hamlin

Posted on January 5, 2023January 19, 2023 by TvMegasite Admin

TV Interview!

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.
