THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

oh, santa’s coming for us santa wasn’t the only hit with leo this year. Could he have you liked your gift anymore? Ah, it was nothing. I don’t know. That look of pure glee on leo’s face — that was not “nothing.” Hey, it was a video game about marine biology. Yeah. So how could I resist?

[ Chuckles ] I would thank you, except I think he might be responsible for us never seeing our son again.

[ Both chuckle ] I think, actually, I should thank you. Hmm. It was very considerate of you to let me stay here last night. I appreciate it. Thank you. No one should be alone on christmas. Especially family. There’s more inside. Thank you. Not to sound, um… what’s the opposite of generous? Uh, selfish. I thought we were having an intimate christmas dinner. The staff is off. Did we prep enough food for a guest? Try that sentence again. Did you prep enough food for a guest? Would you relax? Monica is still under the weather. She made it very clear she’s not coming down for dinner. So we split the christmas goose five ways instead of four. There’s always room for one more. Remember that?

[ Doorbell rings ] We’re not actually having goose, right? Cody. Mama Q. What’s wrong? We got a bit of a situation. Thanks for the loot, ladies, but I have to jet. I’m sorry I missed sonny. Yeah, me too. Called away to work on christmas day. How unfortunate. Really? Are you sure that you can’t stay? No time. I’ve got the polar bear plunge, the soup kitchen, and then a date to see brad sing with the pc gay men’s choir. Well, that is quite a christmas. Places to go, people to see. Well, have a wonderful day, everyone. Merry christmas. Merry christmas. You too. Come here. Ooh. Give me a hug. Merry christmas. Merry christmas. Britta, I’ll walk you out. Bye. You don’t have to do this, you know. Do what? Act like this is your last christmas with us. Huntington’s or not, you still have many more years ahead of you. Oh. I should get going, too. The roads are a mess, and I don’t want to miss my flight. Oh, no, um, wait. I wanted to check in with you. How are you doing? You know, christmas is a tough time to go through a breakup. It was a good thing. Austin and i are not meant to be. Right. But it’s still okay to be sad about it. And I am. But it helps spending the morning with james and bailey and this motley crew.

[ Chuckles ] And now I’m going to portland to see georgie. My christmas just keeps getting better. Do you like your present? I love it. But you coming to visit was all the gift I needed.

[ Giggles ] I want to go try on my present.

[ Giggles ]

[ Sighs ] Oh. Thank you so much for bringing georgie. I can’t tell you how much I missed her last year. Well, you helped raise her. Um, you know, you’ll always be her third parent, even if we are

[Inhales deeply] No longer a we. And, hey, thanks for allowing maxie to join us tonight. It will, uh, really mean a lot to georgie. Oh. Just georgie, huh? Sonny: Anybody here?

[ Door opens ]

[ Sighs ] Sasha, what are you doing here? Ow! Alright, you little animals. Here I come. Hey, mom? Hi. Is everything okay? Yeah, I’m great. Alright. It’s just that you’ve been very quiet about everything that’s happened between you and finn. I just want you to know that you can talk to me about anything. I know. I know, thank you. But I’m fine. I promise. Okay. Is josslyn stopping by? Uh, no. Her car is still busted from last night. Oh. That’s too bad. Yeah. It’s probably for the best, though. The shape the roads are in, nobody should be behind the wheel today. Sorry to pull you away from your family. Oh, comes with the territory. But nobody knows that better than you, right? It was so bad out there. I had to walk here. Ugh. Last night’s storm was intense. Snow was completely covering sections of harbor view drive. Add that to the ice damage to all the other roads surrounding the city. Yeah. It’s just a disaster. And on christmas. Yeah. So many people are going to have an unhappy holiday because of this. Wait, maxie. You have one more.

[ Cellphone rings ] Here you go. Okay. No. What is it? I cannot believe this is happening. Maxie, what is happening? My flight was canceled. I’m not going to get to see georgie on christmas.

What’s going on? Um, I don’t know if you heard. But, uh… harborview is totally blocked off because of the storm? Yeah. Uh, no one’s getting out your main gate unless they’re planning on walking. Well, I mean, luckily, everyone here is planning on staying here, at least for the foreseeable future, so. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up. Thank you. Cody. Wh– what are your plans for the day? Well, I was gonna hit up beradino’s for their holiday menu, but [Chuckles] That’s obviously shot. Um, no big deal. You know, I’ll scrounge something out of the fridge. You will do no such thing. I won’t? No. You’re staying right here. We’ll figure out something with the food. Lo– I — I really don’t want to impose. You’re not imposing. It’s no imposition. Right, ned? Back me up, here. The more, the merrier. I know it’s not my last christmas. Good. But how many more will I be able to live life to the fullest? Despite the old adage, it’s unwise to live every day as if it’s your last. Really? Yes, really.

[ Scoffs ] Racing around, desperate to check things off a list.

Nein. Live every day as if it’s your first. So you never lose sight of all the magic and wonder around you. Merry christmas. Frohliche weihnachten,

britta. I’m so sorry you had to come out here on christmas. I thought I disarmed the security system. Apparently not. Sasha, do you come here a lot? No, um… but the garage is being sold soon, and brando’s new year’s resolution for 2022 was to finish his bike by 2023. Time’s almost up. Mm-hmm. I thought that since I used to work at my neighbor’s garage, I could figure it out. But…

[ Chuckles ] Not so much? Not so much. Alright. [ Sighs ] What are you doing? You’re not the only one who can work on engines. No, sonny.

[ Chuckles ] You should be with nina today. Uh, I’m gonna get to that. But I think if we work together, we can — we can do this by dinnertime. Hand me that wrench right there. Right there.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Austin, brook lynn. This is our newest dinner guest. Please welcome him. Cody will be joining us tonight. Cody, help yourself to a drink. Make yourself comfortable. Liv, I hate to keep harping on this. I know we don’t have enough food. You know what? I’m going to go whip up a lasagna very quickly. It’ll be probably box noodles. But what are you gonna do? Hey, um… I think we’ll survive.

[ Chuckles ] Thank you. Well, leo, for one, will be thrilled to see you, cody. And just like that, I was replaced. Oh, well, horse wrangler trumps doctor. [ Chuckles ] You must be thrilled. I — I know you were never my biggest fan, so I’m guessing you’re over the moon that I messed things up with maxie. You’re trying to beeverything for everyone. Told a white lie or two and things got away from you. It happens to the best of us.

[ Inhales deeply ] Hmm. Why do i get the feeling you’re including yourself in the “us”? Because I am. Yeah, of — of course, I want georgie to spend time with both of her mothers. That is not what I mean, and you know it. An-and I apologize for the whirlwind nature of this visit. I might not even have time to meet that new suitor of yours. Oh, new being the operative word. I mean, we’re hardly official, but you know what’s funny?

[ Tablet rings ] He actually used to live in port charles, whi– hey — hey, georgie, uh, your mom is video calling you. Hey. Merry christmas, mommy. Hey.

[ Giggles ]

Hi, scrumptious. I miss you. I miss you, too. Um, you’re cutting it a little close. I think your flight leaves in a little over an hour. Mom. Please don’t be fashionably late. Georgie, I am so sorry. But my flight got canceled, and I’m not going to be able to make it in until tomorrow. But tomorrow’s not christmas. I know, but I’ll be there before you know it.

[ Sighs ] It’ll be too late. Don’t even bother. Oh, georgie, wait. I’ll talk to her. Please tell her how sorry I am. Oh, she knows. It may not seem that way at the moment, but she knows. Hey. Why the long faces? All the flights from pc international have been grounded. Yeah. I’m not going to

be ableto see georgie for christmas. I needed this. More importantly, she needed this, and I failed her. Ha! Really, aunt liesl? I’m sorry. Did you just scoff at me? And I would do it again. Such a defeatist attitude. That’s not the maxie jones I know. So your flight has been canceled. There are still other options to explore. Mark my words. We are getting you to portland to see your daughter come holle or hochwasser!

[ Chuckles ]

Wow. Uh, those kids, they’re — they’re like, wild animals. Watch it — those animals are my boys. Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] I know, but they — they want me to go sledding with them. Alright, well, why don’t you? Well, because i don’t want to start the new year in traction. Okay. Well, then why don’t I take over? Thank you. Yes. I’ll — I’ll slip you a twenty later. Thank you. Okay. So, uh, which one of those, uh, good-for-nothings are you moping over? I’m sorry? Well, you know, either finn, your father, or perhaps you’re taking a little from column “a,” column “B.” Now, elizabeth, listen. Sit down here. Now, I — I just want you to know that laura and i

[Sighs] We’re both worried about you. I’m fine. I have spent most of my christmases without my parents. Never used to bother me. Now things have changed. So what’s the difference? For the first time, it doesn’t feel like a gap or a pause. This time their absence feels final. Okay, lasagna’s in the oven. I think there should be just enough. Well, let’s hope so, because luigi’s is not open on christmas. Do not even put that out into the universe. This night is going to be nothing like thanksgiving. Okay? You don’t really believe all this universe nonsense, right?

[ Doorbell rings ] God will get you for that. Tj? Molly? Sorry for barging in like this. We were caroling. But harborview is blocked, and there’s no way to drive home. Hmm. Is it okay if we hang here? We’ll totally stay out of your way. Just until the road’s plowed. Inside, now. Thank you so much. Thank you. You’re the best, olivia. Thank you. Hey. Merry christmas. Hi. Merry christmas. Make yourself comfortable in the living room. God’ll get you good. Yes. Okay. That was my business manager. And? And the hangar that we use across the border for crimson, it’s still operational. That’s great. And apparently there are some private jets just hanging out there ready to get used. So… is there any chance you know someone who owns a plane? How is georgie? She’s not happy. Oh, well, that much I gathered.

[ Sighs ] She’s at that tough age where, you know, she’s old enough to know that there are things we can’t control, but still young enough to believe that mommy can move mountains. Well, to be fair, maxie is quite formidable. Certainly is. And speaking of, uh, you did a nice little dodge before, but unfortunately, for you, I know you better than almost anyone. Oh, I consider that fortunate. Not the opposite. You’ve fallen for maxie again, haven’t you? Well, I mean, now is neither the time nor the place. But I — I was hoping that

[Inhales deeply] Us getting together as a family might make things right between us. But, clearly, that’s not in the cards, as it were, so. But it’s not like you to give up so easily. It’s not like I can change the weather in port charles. Maybe not. But christmas is a time for magic and miracles. So what do you say we make some happen for georgie?

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Indistinct conversations ] Maxie? What’s up? Well, I have a problem, and I’m really hoping you can help me. My flight to portland was canceled. Oh, no. I know how excited you were to see georgie. No, no, no. I can still get there. I — I just need a private plane from the toronto hanger. Please, please, tell me one of those planes has your family’s name on it. Let me see what I can do.

Not much has changed, huh? Still mother to all the misfits. Well, like i said to austin — no one should be alone on christmas. Well, I really appreciate it. Just let me know if i can do anything to help.

[ Doorbell rings ] You know what? You can get the lasagna out of the oven. I’m on it. Okay. What now? Holy mother of god. I’m so sorry to barge in on your holiday. I was just part of a live nativity scene, and my car won’t start. Not that it matters, since all the roads are blocked off anyway. Would it be possible for me to wait here until a rideshare can take me home? Yeah, of cour– of course.

[ Chuckles nervously ] Come in, come in, come in. Uh, th — this must be so stressful for you. You probably have a house full of people waiting for you somewhere.

[ Chuckles ] No one, actually. Um, this is our first. And my husband’s working the plows today, so he’ll be busy until who knows when. So you were planning on spending christmas all alone? Well, technically, I have company. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You are staying right here. You are eating christmas dinner with us. Are you sure? I would not have it any other way. You — you — you go on into the living room, you — you introduce yourself, and make sure you put your feet up. You’re so kind. Thank you. I didn’t know, uh — do you want it in the kitchen or the living room or… mama q, what’s wrong? We’re gonna need a bigger lasagna. Getting there…

[ Sighs ] This would have taken me days without your help. I don’t know about that.

[ Sighs ] Trust me. Think so?

[ Chuckles ]

[ Knock on door ] Britt: Hello! Are you open? Oh. What are you two doing here? A long story. You? Oh. You know, in typical me fashion, I ignored the warnings about the roads. My car spun out a few blocks away. You alright? Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] Only thing bruised is my ego. Well, the shop is closed. But you’re welcome to call aaa, assuming they can get here. Well, that’s assuming a lot.

[ Sighs ] This is not how I wanted to spend my last christmas in port charles. Last? Are you going somewhere? Hey, you alright? Seem a little tense. Yeah, I am. Maxie needs to get to portland. Right. To be with georgie. Yeah, but all of the commercial flights have been grounded, so I’m trying to hook her up with my family’s private jet that flies out of canada. But apparently, there’s, like, a mile long line at the border. Even if she were to brave the roads, it could be hours before she could take off. Right. I mean, if she bothers to use the roads. Oh, something’s going on up there. What is it? Tell maxie to get to the pier as soon as she can, I’ll take care of the rest. Okay. Hello? Hey, mason. Um, listen, cousin, I’ve done everything you’ve asked me to do. I haven’t asked for anything in return, but now I am. Well, I need you to send a boat to the pier in port charles. I need to get somebody I care about to canada without the hassle of border security. Thank you, the mayor and I really appreciate it. Okay, so those needing medical attention have been airlifted to the hospital, but there’s been no reports of serious injuries or fatalities. It’s a christmas miracle. What did they say about the roads? How quickly can they be cleared? The plows are out, but it’s going to be tough. Tough, but not impossible. Okay, let’s get it done. You got it. Thank you. Okay. What is taking her so long? Patience. That is not my strong suit.

[ Cellphone rings ] Oh, thank god. Brook lynn. Please tell me you have good news for me. The jet is all yours. But… but what? You will be taking a boat to canada. A boat? Why? There’s no time for questions. Okay. Just get your booty to the pier. And give georgie a big squeeze from me when you see her. I will, and thank you so much. I — I owe you. Okay, I guess I’m going to the pier. I’ll escort you. Uh, no — I — the pi– you’re gonna take a boat? What? Uh, I’m gonna come with you. Come on. No, no, no, no, no. You — sonny, is coming over, and you two need to spend christmas together, okay? Alright. Well, merry… alright. Merry christmas. …Christmas. Are you ready? Really? I mean, you’re taking a boat? It’s christmas. It’ll be fine. I don’t know. It’ll be fine. It’ll be fine. Alright, merry christmas. Bye. Have faith. Be careful.

[ Indistinct conversations ] That lasagna was amazing. And who is the incredibly pregnant young lady? Just another guest for dinner. Olivia, this — this is getting ridiculous. Uh, it felt a little on the nose to say there’s no room at the inn. It might not be the incredibly intimate christmas that we planned, but it’s the christmas we got. Capisce? Capisce. Look at this. My arrabbiata sauce was obviously a very big hit. You made the lasagna with your arrabbiata sauce? Yeah. I had some leftover in the icebox. That sauce is incredibly spicy, and that is an incredibly pregnant woman. Oh, come on. Ned, even i am telling you, the whole spicy food thing, that is an old wives’… oh, my god! …Tale.

No, no, no. Not now. Not here. Will you go — go get some pillows, blankets and towels. Go! Alright. Uh, I’m gonna call 911. What? To say what? There’s no way they could get here with all the road closures. This is not happening. It’s just not. Okay, d-d-don’t — don’t worry. I’ve given birth twice.

[ Breathing shakily ] I will talk you through this. Yes, I’ve pretended to give birth. Not helping, brook lynn. Okay. Okay. Okay, we got some blankets, pillows. Okay. Alright. Let’s — let’s get you down on the floor. Down, right here. Here we go. You got this. Here we go. Ned: Oh, boy. Here. Here we go. You’re okay. It’s, uh, okay. Okay. Hey, uh, tj is a doctor. He can help deliver the baby. Really? Um, I-I-I-I’ve never done it before, but I can figure it out. Okay. Okay. Is this what I think it is? Okay, great, another doctor. You and you. Teamwork makes dream work. Come on, get moving. Here you go. Do you — you need another pillow?

[ Overlapping speech ] Aah! Hey, elizabeth. Uh, so, I know you’re a little down, but here’s the good news — there’s good news? Yes. You are the most resilient girl that I’ve ever met. You — you — you take the cards that are dealt you. And you never complain. Well, almost never. And look at the — look — look at the home you’ve made here for the kids. I mean, they feel loved and safe. And for that, I respect you. I salute you as well. Thank you for saying that. Well… listen, jeff, you know, he’s a fool not to see what a great daughter he’s got.

[ Sighs ] Even though franco’s gone… you’re still a baldwin. Never forget that. I won’T. Aah! Hey, you’re doing — you’re doing great. You’re gonna be okay. You can do this. You got this. Do you mind — can you watch her for a second? Yeah, of course.Thank you. You got this, sweetheart. You’re okay. You’ll be okay. You got it. Just keep breathing. Just like we talked about. Yeah. I think I’m gonna go get some ice chips. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good idea. Aah! What’s going on? This is not gonna be easy. Oh, yeah, that’s pretty obvious. But, I mean, you delivered maxie’s baby, right? You can do this. Uh, maxie’s baby wasn’t breech. What? Isn’t that — isn’t that something that she would have known? Not necessarily. Not if the baby’s flipped recently. Look, if we were in a hospital, all kinds of options available there, including an emergency c-section. But here… what this woman needs is a trained ob. I don’t have immediate plans to leave, but I am interviewing for a job in boston. Please don’t tell anyone, okay? Your secret is safe with me.

[ Cellphone rings ] What do you want? Merry christmas to you, too. Look, I know you don’t want to hear from me, but I’m at the quartermaines’ right now and I’m with austin and tj and — congratulations.

[ Sighs ] Okay. Would you just listen? Okay. Virgin mary is giving birth today. Like, right now. Okay. How much eggnog have you had? N– I’m not drunk. Eh, thank you. Britt, hey, it’s me. There’s a woman here. She’s in labor. The baby’s breech. Not my level of expertise. I need you to talk me through this. This woman needs a hospital and a specialist. Well, I agree. But thanks to the weather, that’s just not an option. It’s not a car or an ambulance that will get through these roads.

[ Motorcycle engine revs ] We did it! Didn’t I tell you?

[ Chuckles ]

Britt?

Britt?!

[ Screams ] You’re doing great. Okay, just breathe. Here you go. Deep breaths. In through the nose, out through the mouth. And when you exhale, try to focus on relaxing an area of the body, okay? You want me to relax? Yeah. Easier said than done, right? And I thought thanksgiving was dramatic. Mr. Wattle’s got nothing on this situation. Mr. Who?

[ Screams ] Okay. The baby’s breech? Yep. There’s a pretty substantial chance something’s gonna go really, really wrong. So what do you want from us? What can we do? Well, tj can treat the mother post-birth, but what we need to do is get this baby to the hospital on foot. Is that safe? No, but, I mean, I don’t know what else to do without a trained ob on hand.

[ Tires screeching, crashing ]

[ Screams ] What was that? Aah! It’s okay. Sorry about monica’s begonias, but I heard there’s a baby that needs delivering.

[ Groans ]

[ Screams ] Hi! I didn’t think you were going to make it. Oh, my goodness. It was a very eventful day. But I think things are calming down now.

[ Laughs ] Can I get you something? Do you want some tea? You must be freezing.

[ Laughs ] Uh…I’m okay. Tell me, how are you holding up? Oh, you mean since my not-so-happy reunion with my parents? Yeah, since that. I’m okay. Oh. I want to be okay. You will be. And if you need any support at all, you know I’m right here for you, right? Okay, mom, listen, I know this isn’t how you envisioned this to go down, but you seem to be made of tough stuff. And you have three mds here that are gonna coach you through it, okay? Okay. I’m sorry if I’m hurting you. It’s okay, honey, you just — you just squeeze away. I can take it. Your baby is a little upside down at the moment. Is that dangerous? No, it just means you need to push extra hard when I give the word. Are you ready? I’m ready. [ Screams ] Is another contraction starting? Okay. Here we go. Push!

[ Screams ] Push! Hi. Hi. Um, I need to get to portland. Oregon, not maine. Ma’am, this is edmonton, alberta. I know that. But my daughter is in portland, and I promised her we would be together on christmas. I understand your dilemma but — no, see, I don’t think that you do. First, my flight gets canceled. Then I have to take a super shady boat to a super awesome private plane which has to land because of the weather. Now, I just need to know when I’m getting back in the air. There’s really no way of knowing with the storm. Nobody’s taking off tonight. I’m sorry. Merry christmas. Merry christmas.

[ Baby fussing ]

[ Baby crying ] She’s cr ying. That’s a good sign, right? Britt: It’s a great sign. Meet your little girl.

[ Crying continues ] She’s perfect. Hello, baby. Your first day. So m uch wonderfor you to see. Live every day like it’s your first, right? Have you thought of a name yet? Noelle seems appropriate. All things considered. It certainly does. What’s your name? Britt. It’s short for britta. Britta noelle. Has a nice ring to it. Don’t you think? If you don’t mind, of course. I-I don’t mind at all. Look, in all the commotion, I didn’t get a chance to say thank you for what you did for maxie. Of course. I really want her to be happy, even if she’s not happy with me. Look, I’m not saying I was wrong about you, but you may have some redeeming qualities that I might have overlooked.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Thanks. I’ll take it.

[ Door closes ] Excuse me. Tj! Mom. Hey. What are you doing here? I was dealing with the roads when I got a call about an incident at the quartermaines’. That incident is you, fyi.

[ Chuckles ] I see that. Now, here I was worried about missing christmas with you, but from the looks of it, you kept quite busy. Did he ever! Tj was incredible. Oh. I think we all earned a gold star today. Dr. Westbourne, in particular. Traffic’s moving out there? Slowly, but yeah. Okay, then, uh, we should probably get out of these guys’ hair. You know, after the day we’ve had, I think it’s only fitting that you all stay and we celebrate together. Are you sure? Positive. Thank you. That sounds wonderful. Awesome. Yay! Aw! Merry christmas. Okay. Okay, girls. So, um, what did you — what did you — what did you think about my dance moves? Oh, well, they were… smooth. Very smooth.

[ Laughs ] No, they were not even present. You guys are secretly just laughing at me. No, I’m enjoying you. Okay. You are a terrific grandpa. Well…

[ Laughs ] Well, you’re no slouch in that department either, there, laura. Thanks. All this time, I have been focusing on the parents who weren’t there for me. And now I realize I should have been focusing on the people who were, the people who have always been by my side, the people I have always needed. I think she’s talking about us. I do, too.

[ Laughs ] I love you, sweetheart. I love you. So much. Spinelli, why are you not answering your phone? Call me. Maximista?

[ Laughs ] Mommy! Georgie?! Oh, my god! What are you doing here?! Well, I knew how much you two wanted to see each other. The plan was to fly through canada and then drive down to port charles. Great minds think alike. What?! And you — you are like the best christmas present ever! Thank you. It was nothing. No, it’s — it’s everything. You’ve always been there for me, spinelli, through all of it. I don’t know what I would do without you. Well, guess what? You’ll never have to find out.

[ Both laugh ]

Still, still, still

[ Cellphone rings ]

One can hear the falling snow

for all is hushed hey, you. Merry christmas.

Is sleeping

holy star, its vigil keeping

[ Knock on door ]

Still, still, still one can hear the falling snow come here, you.

[ Knocking on door ] For you. Thank you.Oh! Sleep, sleep, sleep ’tis the eve of our savior’s birth the night is peaceful all around you close your eyes, let sleep surround you sleep, sleep, sleep ’tis the eve of our savior’s birth okay, and I got her the prettiest bracelet. She picked it out herself. You did? Yeah. We went to the store, and I got to pick it out. What color was it? It was like a silver color, and it had a heart on it. Aw! And it had an “e” for ellie. Aw, that sounds so sweet. Dream, dream, dream what did you get? Yeah, what did you get? A sweater. Of the joyous day to come what’d you get?

Young & The Restless Update

Y&R logo

Update written by Barbara

Seated at the Glam Club with Noah, Sharon, Mariah and Tessa on Christmas Eve, Nick tells them that as excited as Christian is about Christmas, it was easy to get him to sleep. He adds that Christian is a cakewalk compared to Noah at that age.

As Tessa and Mariah get tipsy from champagne, Tessa tells the group that she and Mariah don’t have to be concerned about driving home because she booked a suite downstairs in the hotel as a holiday surprise for Mariah. The two of them look forward to getting comfortable in the cozy robes the hotel provides.

Once inside their suite and relaxing in the big bed, Mariah gives Tessa an ornament to celebrate their first Christmas as a married couple. Tessa mentions that continuing to add ornaments could become a tradition and hopefully they can add one for their baby’s first Christmas next year.

When Mariah and Tessa wake up on Christmas Day, they realize they’re running late and rush over to Crimson Lights to help Sharon pack the holiday presents and food boxes that Noah will bring to the shelters.

A pregnant woman comes into the coffeehouse asking for help. She tells Sharon, Mariah and Tessa that she needs a tow and her phone is dead, and asks if they can help her.When Sharon asks what happened, she tells her that she hit a patch of ice and skidded into a pole. Her name is Sonia and she is very upset, and a little dazed. Tessa calls a tow truck, but she’s unable to find one that would be able to get to Crimson Lights in a timely manner.

After being introduced to Mariah and Tessa, Sonia recognizes Tessa from her music and one of her songs that’s playing in the coffeehouse. When Mariah and Tessa ask Sonia about being with her family on Christmas, she tells them that she was driving away from her parents because she hasn’t been getting along with them. She mentions that she was supposed to finish college in the spring and then go to grad school but adds she doesn’t know how that will happen.

When Sonia anxiously says that she doesn’t know if she can be the mom that her baby deserves, especially with all the people out there who can’t wait to be parents. Mariah looks at Tessa, who tells Sonia that it’s a really big decision, but she’s sure Sonia will make the right decision for her and her baby. Mariah tells Sonia,”it’s your story to write; nobody else’s”.

Sonia’s water breaks, followed by contractions, and she goes into labor in the coffeehouse. Mariah tries unsuccessfully to get an ambulance over there on time because the roads are almost impassable.

Sharon calls Elena, who is close by and can get to Crimson Lights. Elena delivers Sonia’s baby girl. The EMTs finally arrive and get Sonia and the baby ready to go to the hospital with her baby.

Having told Mariah and Tessa that she felt that the universe brought her together with them, Sonia says she feels like she can do anything now that she’s holding her daughter.

In their hotel room on Christmas Morning, Mariah is sitting up in the bed looking serious and upset. When Tessa wakes up and they talk for a few minutes, they realize they both had the same intense dream.

Mariah worries that this is an omen that they might not get what they want, whereas Tessa remains optimistic and suggests that Mariah look for the good parts of the dream. She tells Mariah that they’ll be “kickass moms”.

Mariah and Tessa come into Crimson Lights to greet Sharon and Noah. Sharon observes that they they don’t seem to be their usual effervescent selves, but Mariah assures her that they’re fine.

Then, she and Tessa get texts from Delphine, the potential birth mother they’re supposed to meet after New Year’s. Delphine has sent a sonogram of her baby girl, with a message that says to Mariah and Tessa, “We can’t wait to meet you”.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

All: Cheers! Merry christmas!

Mariah: Noah, thank you so much for putting this together. It’s a very unique way to spend christmas eve — you know, fun, festive, family nightcap before the chaos of tomorrow morning.

Noah: Yeah, what’s the point of owning a club if you don’t put it to good use every once in a while? And I thank you all for coming. We should make this a tradition, all the grown-ups getting together christmas eve. That would be fun.

Nick: Yeah, we’ll see.

Noah: Okay, what’s that supposed to mean?

[ Laughter ]

Nick: I’m just saying, a lot can happen from now and then. You know, we don’t know where we’re gonna be, what we’re gonna be doing. I say we just enjoy tonight for what it is.

Tessa: Hear, hear!

Sharon: Hear, hear!

Mariah: Hear, hear!

Sharon: I am just so grateful that you put this together, noah. I was feeling a little bit lonely tonight.

Noah: To rey.

Sharon: Yes, to rey.

All: To rey!

Sharon: Thank you. You know, it’s been quiet around the house with faith being away, but I know she is having the time of her life in europe.

Noah: When did she get so old? I feel like just last week faith was this little girl getting lost in the woods, needing to be rescued.

Nick: That’s what happens when you get older. Time moves very quickly.

Mariah: But seriously, when did she get so sophisticated? She’s like a jet-setter now.

Tessa: And by “sophisticated,” you mean more sophisticated than us?

Mariah: Yes. Yes. I would love to be skiing in the alps.

Tessa: Babe, you don’t ski.

Mariah: I would like to be doing something in the alps.

[ Light laughter ]

Sharon: Nick, it’s nice that you have christian. You can get a little bit of that christmas magic at your house.

Mariah: Okay, I have to ask. How tough was it to get him to sleep tonight, on a scale of 1 to 10?

Nick: Christian’s a cakewalk compared to that dude.

Mariah: Wow!

Sharon: Oh, yeah, that is true. Noah, you were the worst.

Nick: The absolute worst. It took forever to get him to go to bed, and then at about 3:30, he’d come knocking on the door.

Tessa: 3:30?!

Nick: Yep. Some years I’d feel like I just got my head on the pillow, and he’d come in screaming and hollering, saying he was ready to open presents.

Mariah: So, how did you get christian to sleep tonight?

Nick: Easy. Christian likes to know things. So, first we just kind of checked out, you know, online what reindeers prefer, oats to carrots.

Mariah: Mm.

Tessa: Carrots, obviously.

Noah: How is that obvious?

Nick: Well, you’ve done your own research. Then we checked out the santa tracker. Christian realized santa was still really far away, and he also knows that santa doesn’t show up until he’s asleep, so he went right to bed.

Mariah: Well, hopefully he doesn’t wake up at 3:30 like his brother used to.

Nick: Oh, man, let’s hope. But as annoying as it was, it was also really fun. You know, it’s the joy of the holiday season. I’m sure sharon can vouch for this, and you guys will all realize it someday, but there’s just nothing like seeing christmas through the eyes of a child.

Mariah: Ahh.

Noah: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay, how about you, uh, slow down there, you two?

Mariah: Excuse me. I’m not driving.

Tessa: Uh, another glass, and we might not be walking.

Noah: Yeah, well, let’s just save some for new year’s eve. I’m gonna run out of champagne with you two hanging around here. You guys need anything?

Nick: Uh, I’m good. Thanks.

Sharon: I’m actually gonna head home soon. I still have so much to prepare. Everything needs to be packed and ready to deliver to all the shelters. And of course, you two are going to be there in the morning to help me out, right?

Mariah: Mm-hmm. Yes, I promised that we would be there at the break of dawn.

Tessa: Wait, what?

Noah: I’ll be there, too. I could help out with deliveries.

Sharon: Oh, thank you, noah. I’m so glad that you’re all volunteering your time. You know, it feels really good to help people out, especially this time of year. And, nick, I know that you have a busy morning, but we’ll all meet at my house, say around noon?

Nick: Yeah, I’m betting christian opens up all his presents in about 6 minutes, so that’ll give us some time to play with everything, and then we’ll cruise over to your place. And then christian, noah, and i will then go to my parents’.

Mariah: That sounds like fun.

Nick: You are very welcome to join the newman family christmas. You can sit right next to my dad.

Mariah: Ohh, that’s so enticing, but, uh, I’m gonna be busy.

[ Laughter ]

Sharon: Alright, well, I’m going to head home. So, noah, thank you so much for a lovely evening.

Noah: Thank you, mom.

Sharon: And merry christmas to all and to all a good night.

Mariah: Merry christmas.

Sharon: Merry christmas. Do you two need a ride home?

Mariah: Uh…no. No, I think we’re just gonna stay here on this big comfy couch.

Noah: Uh, no, no, actually, I don’t think so. Sorry, it’s not the vibe I’m really going for. So, you don’t have to go home, but —

Nick: You can’t stay here.

Noah: Yes, exactly.

Sharon: Come on. I’ll give you a ride.

Tessa: Oh, no, that’s okay, sharon. I have a plan. We’re not staying here, but we’re not going home. When you’re through with powering through,

Sharon: Oh, how

Tessa: I booked a suite for us as a surprise for our very first christmas together as a married couple.

Sharon: Oh, how sweet.

Nick: Thoughtful and practical.

Tessa: Exactly. I packed an overnight bag for us. We’ll have everything we need. Room service will be there for late-night snacks, and we’ll have a rose-petal bath.

Mariah: Oh, my gosh. Okay, raise your hand if you feel like a queen.

[ Laughs ]

Tessa: And…

Mariah: Oh, there’s more?

Tessa: After our bath, we can lounge in our warm, fuzzy robes.

Mariah: [ Gasps ] I love those robes. They are the coziest. Oh, my gosh, I am so glad that i married you.

Noah: Good work, tess. Very romantic, prescient.

Tessa: Well, shall we?

Mariah: Yes. Let’s go.

Nick: Good night.

Mariah: Good night.

[ Laughter ]

Tessa: Okay. We were gonna be here all night, but now we’re leaving before sharon.

Mariah: Yeah, that’s ’cause i didn’t know that there was a suite downstairs waiting for us. We love you all. Merry christmas. We’ll see you in the morning.

Tessa: Yeah.

Mariah: We’re out of here.

Tessa: Merry christmas!

Noah: Good night.

Tessa: Whew. That was so loud. I bet you could hear it all the way to the north pole.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ] After I put on this robe, i couldn’t hear anything else. It’s like everything just quieted down. Think it has a built-in mute button?

Tessa: Uh, no, I don’t think that’s how sound or robes or anything works. But I love the giddy smile on your face. You’ve had it ever since you got out of the tub.

Mariah: Ah, it was luxurious. Thank you so much for this gift. I think we really needed it.

Tessa: Yes. You are welcome. And I do not feel bad that i enjoyed your gift as much as you did.

Mariah: Well, you know what this means now.

Tessa: What?

Mariah: We are officially a couple that exchanges one gift on christmas eve.

Tessa: Oh! I didn’t know that was a category.

Mariah: Yeah, it totally is.

Tessa: Hmm.

Mariah: And, uh, lucky for you, I got you something. I picked it up this morning. And I didn’t have time to put it under the tree, but this seemed like the perfect occasion.

Tessa: Okay. Wow. This is pretty.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ]

Tessa: [ Gasps ] Ooh. Ooh. “Have yourself a married little christmas. Mariah and tessa, 2022.”

Mariah: Do you get it?

Tessa: Uh, yeah. It’s because we’re married. It’s not that complicated.

Mariah: [ Laughs ] I know it’s corny, but I just thought that we should have something to commemorate our first christmas as wife and wife.

Tessa: I love it. It is perfect. And it could become a new tradition, a new inscribed ornament every year. Maybe next year it’ll say “baby’s first christmas.”

Mariah: We could be moms next year. How crazy is that?

Tessa: Can you imagine having the kind of christmas eve that nick gave christian? Ah, I mean, that’s how it should be for kids — just they’re so excited that they can’t even sleep the night before.

Mariah: I know. I didn’t personally have, uh, that magical “get ready for santa” christmas when I was growing up.

Tessa: Yeah, me neither. But we will make sure that our kid does. Decorating the tree. Wrapping presents. Baking cookies. But our well decorated home will be filled with the most important thing of all.

Mariah: Presents. Lots and lots of presents.

Tessa: Um…love?

Mariah: Love!

Tessa: Mm.

Mariah: Yes.

Tessa: Yeah.

Mariah: Lots and lots of love. That’s better.

Tessa: And not just from us. Our kid will have a big, happy family to celebrate the holiday with.

Mariah: I want that more than anything.

Tessa: Me too.

Mariah: But for the time being, we have each other and this beautiful night together. The world is full of make or break moments.

[ Both laugh ]

Tessa: Good morning.

Mariah: Merry christmas.

Tessa: Merry christmas, my gorgeous wife.

Mariah: [ Inhales sharply ] Mnh, I do not feel very gorgeous right now. I feel like I got [Chuckling] Ran over by a reindeer.

Tessa: [ Sighs ]

Mariah: How is it that you look so good in the morning? Did you, like, get up first and do your hair or something?

Tessa: No, I am just glowing with the holiday spirit.

Mariah: Hmm. I’ll say.

Tessa: Should we order breakfast? Or should we get something from crimson lights?

Mariah: Um, let me see. Oh, uh, definitely crimson lights because we are running very, very late.

Tessa: Oh, okay.

[ Gasps ] Oh. Oh, it snowed! A white christmas. Oh, it’s so beautiful.

Mariah: I’m sure it is, but we really need to get going. We can’t leave sharon hanging.

Tessa: I just think it’s nice. I mean, we expected snow, and we got snow. I mean, I think it’s a good sign.

Mariah: Um, well, it’s supposed to be snowing on and off all day long, which is not a good sign. Uh, when you planned this surprise, did you think to pack, like, boots or warm clothes?

Tessa: Yes, I’m on top of it, and everything’s in the car.

Mariah: Okay, good, ’cause we are gonna need to stay warm through all these deliveries. Uh, would it be weird if we just wore our robes all day long?

Tessa: Yes. Leave the robes here. We got to get going. Sharon needs us.

Mariah: Okay. Time to be christmas elves.

Tessa: Well, technically, elves don’t work today. They work really hard up till today and then take the day off, so…

Mariah: Alright. Well, these elves are gonna be working overtime, so get! Go, go, go, go, go!

Mariah: Good morning!

Sharon: Good morning!

Mariah: Merry christmas.

Sharon: Merry christmas. Good morning. Isn’t the snow beautiful?

Tessa: Oh, it’s such a dream.

Noah: Well, it’s nice of you two to join us.

Mariah: Uh, well, I’m sorry we’re late, mr. Taskmaster, but it’s all my fault.

Noah: Oh, I know.

Mariah: Thanks. Wait, how could you possibly know it’s my fault?

Noah: ‘Cause it always is.

Mariah: Okay, well, we walked here from the hotel, and because of all the fresh snow, we just had to throw a few snowballs at each other.

Noah: That’s why you’re late? Seriously?

Mariah: That, and we overslept.

Tessa: Yeah.

Mariah: But we’re here now, so let’s, uh, get to work after a warm beverage.

Noah: Ooh, you guys probably need a couple of triple espressos after all that champagne, right?

Tessa: Oh, no. We are very sharp.

Mariah: I was a little groggy, but no more than usual.

Noah: It’s christmas miracle.

Mariah: [ Laughs ]

Sharon: Okay, we have got to get to work. We have tons of presents and food to deliver. And I’m a little worried about the driving conditions because it — it’s gonna snow some more.

Mariah: Well, it doesn’t look like there’s that much to deliver.

Noah: Oh, this is just the stuff I couldn’t fit in the van. Everything else is already packed up.

Tessa: You did that all by yourself?

Noah: I sure did, while you two were out frolicking, making snow angels.

Mariah: Hey, I didn’t say anything about snow angels. How did you know that?

Sharon: Okay, we have about 100 more boxes in the back to pack up, and then we can start delivering.

Mariah: Okay.

Noah: I’ll make you two a deal. I do all the deliveries, you finish packaging the boxes?

Tessa: Deal.

Noah: Alright.

Mariah: Let’s get to work.

Noah: Let’s do it.

Mariah: Alright. Go, team! Okay, that’s everything from the back.

Noah: Everything’s loaded for my second trip. I just need this last bag, and I’m out of here.

Sharon: Noah, be careful out there, okay? The roads are really a mess.

Noah: I will, mom. I’ll see you guys at the house.

Mariah: See ya.

Sharon: Well, thank you both so much for your help. I can’t believe we got through that many boxes so quickly.

Tessa: Yeah, good job, everybody.

Mariah: Go, team.

Sharon: Alright, all we have to do now is clean up, and we’re out of here.

Tessa: Okay, sharon, what do we need to bring to your house?

Sharon: Nothing. Nothing. I have everything. It’s gonna be a smaller celebration this year, but very meaningful. Oh. Hello.

Sonya: I’m sorry. The sign says closed, but I saw you all in here.

Sharon: No, that’s alright. Come on in. Are you alright?

Sonya: I need a tow, and my phone’s dead. Can you help me?

Tessa: Oh, of course. Yeah, I have my phone. I’ll call.

Sharon: What happened to your car?

Sonya: I hit a patch of ice and skidded into a pole. Remember in driver’s ed when they told us that you’re supposed to turn in the direction of the skid?

Mariah: Yeah.

Sonya: Well, I didn’t until it was too late. I just sat there with steam coming out of the radiator, thinking, “oh, right, I should have turned into the skid.”

Sharon: Are you sure you’re alright?

Sonya: No, I’m fine. My car’s not. I would like to sit down, though.

Sharon: Of course. Take a seat.

Mariah: Here, right there.

Sonya: Thank you. I can’t tell you how much i appreciate this.

[ Breathing heavily ] Ohh. Who says you have to spend more on skincare

Sonya: [ Exhales heavily ]

Mariah: Here you go.

Sonya: Thanks.

Mariah: So, are you okay? Did you hit your head? Is your neck in pain at all? Did you hit your belly on the steering wheel?

Sonya: No, it really wasn’t that bad.

Tessa: I’m having trouble getting a tow service to come up here. The snow really messed up the road, so all the trucks are busy, but I will try again later.

Mariah: Or, you know, we can always call an ambulance. Or your ob-gyn.

Sonya: I’m fine. Really.

Sharon: Hey, you guys. Let our guest take a breath. She’s been through something very traumatic. Just give her some space. Hi. I’m sharon. I’m the owner here.

Sonya: My name’s sonya. I’m not hurt.

[ Voice breaking ] It’s just that, um, it all, like, happened so fast.

Mariah: Um, would you like something to eat?

Sonya: Something light would be nice. A muffin?

Sharon: Coming right up.

Sonya: Thanks.

Mariah: You know, when I was pregnant, I would have asked for five muffins.

Sonya: I was trying to be polite.

[ Laughs ]

Tessa: So, where were you going? Is there someone we can call?

Sonya: I wasn’t going anywhere. I was just driving.

Mariah: On christmas? Don’t you have a family that you need to be with?

Sonya: I do. I was driving away from my family.

Tessa: Ah.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ]

Tessa: We know what that’s like.

Sonya: I was at my parents’ place. We don’t agree on much, but lately we don’t agree on anything.

[ Voice breaking ] Not even on christmas. So I just — I just had to get out of there.

Tessa: Well, we’re sorry that you had to go through that. But you’re in the right place. We’re glad to have your company.

Sharon: Alright. Here you go. Here’s one muffin. And let me know if there’s anything else I can get for you.

Sonya: Thank you so much. Ooh. You guys must have plans.

Mariah: Oh, plans change. I mean, you didn’t plan to slide into a pole, right? I’m mariah, by the way. I’m sharon’s daughter.

Tessa: Oh, and, um, I’m —

Sonya: Tessa. You’re tessa porter. I thought I recognized you, but I didn’t know why. But your song is playing right now.

Sharon: Yeah, that’s my playlist. This is my favorite song, too.

Tessa: Thank you.

Sonya: I’m a big fan. And not just of your music, but your whole story. It’s so inspirational, and you’ve come so far. That’s all I want — to get a chance to show the world what i can do. When I envisioned my future, being a mom at 22 wasn’t part of the plan. But [Chuckles] Like mariah said, plans change.

Tessa: Yeah. Uh, they do. So, you’re alone?

Sonya: The baby’s father isn’t in the picture. I’m supposed to finish college in the spring and go to grad school, but I don’t know how that’s going to happen. My parents think I can handle it with their support. Even though we haven’t been getting along, they have promised to help take care of their grandchild. But I don’t know if I can be the mom this baby deserves. Especially when you think about all the people out there who can’t wait to be parents.

Tessa: Well, it’s a really big decision, but I’m sure that you will make the right decision for you and your baby.

Mariah: It’s your story to write, nobody else’S.

Sonya: I appreciate you saying that. Thank you for the food and everything, but I need one more thing.

Sharon: What’s that?

Sonya: The bathroom. Which way?

[ Laughter ]

Sharon: It’s right out there and then to the right.

Sonya: Thanks.

[ Exhales sharply ]

Mariah: [ Sighs ]

Sharon: Wow. Poor thing. All alone and on a day like this.

Tessa: I’m just glad that we can be there for her.

Mariah: It’s almost like her showing up here is some sort of christmas miracle.

Sonya: I’m sorry, sharon. I think I might need a little more help after all. I think my water just broke.

Sharon: [ Gasps ] We really had our hands full

“The young and the restless”

will continue. With directv I can get live tvand on demand together:

Sonya: Ohh.

Mariah: Her water broke, and she’s now experiencing contractions, so she is definitely in labor. So, if you could please just send an ambulance as soon as possible. Okay.

Sharon: Remember to breathe through the contractions, alright?

Sonya: Yeah.

Mariah: That is really good advice. Um, so the emts are having a really difficult time sending anybody out to us. The roads are a disaster. There’s accidents all over town.

Tessa: Okay. Well, when will they come?

Mariah: I don’t know. They don’t know.

Sharon: Okay. Well, the good news is a woman’s first baby takes a little while to arrive. The labor will last a lot longer.

Sonya: That’s good news?

Sharon: Well, you want the ambulance to arrive before the baby, right?

Sonya: Yeah.

Sharon: Okay. Can you walk?

Sonya: I think so.

Sharon: Alright, why don’t we walk around a little bit? It’ll be good for you. Keeps your muscles loose. We can walk and talk.

Sonya: Okay.

Sharon: Okay.

Sonya: Oh, I’m glad one of us knows what she’s doing.

Sharon: Look, I realize this seems overwhelming, and contractions are no joke, but i promise you can do this.

Tessa: Are you okay?

Mariah: I’m fine.

Tessa: You’re thinking about when you went into labor with dominic, aren’t you?

Mariah: I was so scared. And being there alone with this pain shooting through my entire body, I-I was terrified that i wasn’t gonna make it to the hospital and that I was gonna have to do this all alone in this tiny little room. And I just… I can still feel it.

[ Sniffles ]

Tessa: But it worked out. You and bowie came home safe. And then their parents changed his name.

Mariah: [ Laughs ]

Tessa: But you are with your wife, your mother, and a young woman who is scared and in pain. She needs us to help her through what is probably one of the scariest moments of her life. Let’s help her.

Mariah: You’re absolutely right. I need to let sonya know that she’s not alone…

Tessa: Mm-hmm.

Mariah: …And that she came to the right place.

Sonya: [ Breathing heavily ]

Mariah: Look, I know that this is not what you expected — a coffeehouse instead of a maternity ward. I was in a similar position when I went into labor, but my friends got me through it, and that is exactly — oh, here — what tessa and I are gonna do for you because we’re friends now. You’re friends with tessa porter. How cool is that?

Sonya: So, you have a child?

Mariah: Uh, no. I was a, uh — I was a surrogate for people who are very near and dear to me.

Sonya: Was it hard to give up the child?

Mariah: The baby wasn’t mine. He belonged with his parents. But we, uh — we see him all the time. We’re his favorite aunts.

Sonya: So, you don’t want any kids of your own?

Mariah: Uh, actually, I would very much like to start a family.

Sonya: When?

Mariah: As soon as possible.

Sonya: [ Groans ]

Mariah: But we — we should not be talking about us right now.

Sonya: Oh, my god!

Tessa: Yeah. I mean, how’s your lower back?

Sonya: Oh, my god, it hurts. Everything hurts.

[ Breathing heavily ] Ohh. Oh, my god!

Mariah: Okay, okay. Just, uh — just breathe now, okay? Just breathe…

Sonya: Oh, my god, I don’t think I can stand anymore!

Tessa: Okay, here you go. Here you go.

Sharon: The contractions are coming on faster, aren’t they? I’ve been keeping track of the time.

Sonya: Yeah.

Sharon: Alright, tessa, there’s some blankets in the back office. Would you get them, please? We’re gonna have to make sonya as comfortable as possible. I think this baby might be coming sooner than we thought.

Sonya: Wait, you think it’s coming now?

Mariah: Um…either way, you’re gonna be fine, and the emts should be here any minute.

Sonya: What if they’re not? What do we do?

Sharon: Well, you know, i might have another option. Let me make a call.

Sonya: [ Breathing heavily ]

Mariah: Okay. Hey, sonya.

Sonya: Ohh. Ohh.

Mariah: Sonya, here.

Sharon: Oh, hey, elena. I’m so glad you answered. Look, we really need help.

Mariah: Okay, sonya, only positive thoughts from here on out, okay? It’s the only thing that matters for you and your baby’s welfare.

Sonya: Okay. Okay.

Mariah: We’ve got you, okay?

Sonya: I trust you. Ohh. You’re gonna get through this,

Sonya: [ Groaning ]

Sharon: Alright, just keep breathing. You’re doing great.

Sonya: [ Moans ]

Sharon: Look, I know it hurts. You’re gonna get through this, okay?

Tessa: Yes, I am so impressed. If I was you, I’d be screaming in pain.

Sonya: [ Screams ] Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

Tessa: Yep. Just like that. You are doing so good.

Mariah: Okay, keep breathing. It’s all about the breathing.

Sonya: Stop telling me to breathe! I’m breathing!

[ Sobs ]

[ Moans ]

Sharon: Oh. Elena, thank god you got here.

Elena: Yeah, it was a rough trip, but I wasn’t gonna leave you alone.

Sharon: Okay. Thank you. Sonya, this is dr. Elena dawson.

Elena: Hi, sonya. It’s nice to meet you.

Sonya: Hi.

Elena: How many weeks are you?

Sonya: 37.

Elena: Okay, and your contractions are close?

Sonya: Super close. Mnh!

[ Gasps, breathes heavily ]

Elena: Okay. We are gonna be delivering a christmas baby. I just want you to breathe.

Sonya: Okay.

Mariah: She’s very good at breathing.

Elena: Okay. And I don’t need you to push yet, okay?

Sonya: Whatever you say, doctor.

Tessa: You are in very good hands.

Sonya: Ohh.

Elena: Just slow breathing for me.

Sonya: Ohh.

Elena: Great.

Sonya: Mnh.

Elena: You got this.

Sonya: It’s really hard not to push.

Elena: It’s okay. We’re not gonna push.

Sonya: Ow!

Elena: Good. It’s okay. It’s okay. Big, deep breath in. You’re doing great.

Tessa: It’s okay if you…

Mariah: One last breathe, one last breathe.

Elena: Okay. It’s time to start pushing.

Sonya: [ Exhales sharply ]

Elena: Okay.

Sonya: I need to pray first.

Elena: Of course.

Sharon: We’re all praying with you.

Sonya: [ Breathing deeply ] Okay.

Mariah: Okay. Okay.

Sonya: [ Groaning ]

Mariah: You got this. You’re doing so great, sonya.

Tessa: We’re gonna be here for you. We’re gonna be here for you and your baby, okay?

Sonya: [ Crying ]

[ Groaning ]

Tessa: This is it.

Sonya: I don’t know if I can.

Tessa: No, this is it.

Mariah: We are so proud of you. You’re doing amazing. Just keep going.

Elena: One more push. I can see the head.

Sonya: [ Groaning ]

Elena: Good, sonya.

Tessa: Okay, come on, girl. You can do this.

Mariah: You’re doing it, okay? You’re doing it!

Sonya: [ Breathing heavily ]

Tessa: Just one more.

Sonya: [ Groaning ]

Mariah: There you go, there you go, there you go!

Sonya: Ahhhhh!

Mariah: Oh, yes!

Sonya: [ Breathing heavily ]

[ Baby crying ]

[ Laughing ] Ohh. It’s a girl?

Sharon: It’s a perfect little girl.

Sonya: Ohh. [ Chuckles ]

[ Exhaling heavily ]

Mariah: Oh, my god.

Tessa: Oh, they’re here. They’re here.

[ Laughter ] They’re here.

Sonya: [ Exhales heavily ]

We’re taking you and your baby on a short trip to memorial, but it looks like you were in very good hands here.

Sonya: I was. It was a miracle.

Elena: Let me update you on a few things.

Mariah: Yeah.

Sharon: Aww. She’s beautiful.

Sonya: Thank you so much. I don’t know what I would have done without you, sharon.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Sharon: Oh, it’s noah. I have to take this. Excuse me.

Sonya: Plans change.

[ Laughter ]

Tessa: Yeah, they certainly do.

Sonya: An accident may have brought me here, but I didn’t come here by accident. I was supposed to meet you. The universe brought us together for a reason.

Mariah: You know, we have been thinking the same exact thing. We are so happy that we met you.

Sonya: I’m so grateful for everything you shared with me. The two of you have such a strong, beautiful relationship. You’re gonna make such incredible mothers.

[ Sighs ] I hope I can be a good mother, too. You were right. This is my story, and I’m writing it.

[ Chuckles ] I was so scared today, but then I found a strength I didn’t know I had inside me. Holding my daughter like this… I feel like I can do anything.

[ Exhales heavily ]

[ Sniffles ]

Mariah: [ Chuckles ]

Tessa: Bye.

Sonya: Bye.

Tessa: [ Groans lightly ] Hey.

Mariah: I just had the most intense dream.

Tessa: Me too.

Tessa: Wow. We haven’t had a psychic connection like that since you were kidnapped.

Mariah: Now we just had the same dream.

Tessa: I think it shows how close we are.

Mariah: It felt so realistic. It felt like it was actually happening until the second i opened my eyes.

Tessa: Yeah. I’ve never woken up so exhausted. That dream was so emotionally draining.

Mariah: I mean, meeting this young woman and then letting myself believe that somehow it meant that our baby was coming soon, only to have this imaginary young mother choose to keep her child. I mean… what if it’s an omen?

Tessa: An omen of what?

Mariah: Then we’re not gonna get what we want.

Tessa: [ Sighs ] I know why you felt that way. I was disheartened, too. But I don’t think we can ascribe too much to an emotional dream. It was a manifestation of our hopes and fears. On thanksgiving, the birth mother we wanted chose to go in another direction and let her cousin adopt the baby. And now our collective anxious subconscious is just telling us not to get our hopes up too high.

Mariah: And you don’t think it’s a sign?

Tessa: Okay, well, if you want to think about it that way, think about all the positive aspects of the dream.

Mariah: Like what?

Tessa: [ Chuckles ] We met a birth mother who we connected with.

[ Voice breaking ] We felt the joy of bringing a new life into the world. I think it affirms that we’re gonna be kick-ass moms.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ] Well, I guess it’s like sharon said yesterday. Every experience we have is just bringing us that much closer to finding our own child.

Tessa: I mean, I think it’s true. And if anything, the dream means that, even when we face setbacks… you have to keep the faith. I mean, isn’t that worth remembering, especially today?

Mariah: You’re right. And I love you.

Tessa: I love you, too.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Inhales sharply ]

Noah: Okay. Actually, I think it’s probably gonna be two trips, so I will take the gifts right now and then come back for the meals when they’re ready.

Sharon: Sounds good.

[ Gasps ]

Mariah: Good morning! Hi.

Noah: Merry christmas.

Mariah: Merry christmas.

Sharon: Merry christmas!

Noah: Oh, it’s nice of you two to join us.

Mariah: Sorry we’re late.

Noah: Too much free champagne last night?

Tessa: Maybe a little.

[ Laughter ]

Sharon: Oh, no. You two didn’t sleep well?

Mariah: Uh, something like that. But it’s nothing a strong cup of coffee can’t fix.

Sharon: Okay, well, I just made a pot.

Noah: Yeah. I’ll grab you guys some mugs.

Mariah: Okay.

Sharon: Thanks, honey. Um, is everything okay?

Mariah: Yeah. Why wouldn’t it be?

Sharon: That’s not an answer.

Mariah: [ Chuckling ] Um… we’re fine. Just a little groggy.

Sharon: Okay. You just don’t seem like your usual effervescent selves.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ]

[ Cellphones ping ] Oh.

Tessa: Um, it’s from delphine.

Noah: Who’s that?

Tessa: It’s the woman we’re supposed to meet after new year’S.

Mariah: The potential birth mother.

Sharon: What does she say?

Mariah: She sent, uh, a sonogram. Yeah.

Tessa: It’s a girl.

Sharon: Ooh. Wow. She’s beautiful.

Mariah: And she also included a message. “We can’t wait to meet you.”

Sharon: [ Gasps ]

Mariah: [ Laughing, crying ]

Tessa: [ Laughing, crying ]

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Tucker: We could have this great new company, work side by side with each other. That’s my dream come true.

Phyllis: Say “rock star.”

Danny: Rock star!

Daniel: Rock star

Phyllis: Okay.

Danny: Oh, good note.

Billy: I’m worried about us, lily.

Lily: Me too.

Chloe: You’re really not feeling well. Wait, sally. Is there a possibility you might be…

Both: There’s no place like home for the holidays.

Case: Thank you for welcoming us into your homes for the past 50 years.

Morrow: And tuning in to “the young and the restless.”

Sarpy: Our greatest gift is our “y&r” family.

Dominic: Which includes you.

Thomas scott: We’ve celebrated the holidays with you for five decades, and we can’t wait to spend many more.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Merry Christmas. A

Oh God. Maddy, honestly, you never ceased to amaze me. Snagging a holiday layover at she Kiki. What a poo. Well, of course I’m gonna want all the bloody details. No, we’re not talking about me. But since you ask, thankfully, I have no details to. Yes. It turns out I didn’t have to help Xandra out of that little jam after all.

don’t worry. I made sure that he knows that he still owes me one. Why does he owe you one?

Hey, for losing the last of marbles. Now there’s a Christmas miracle. This about a Christmas miracle. Well, if I tell you it won’t come true. No baby. No. That’s a birthday wish, right? Yeah, no. I was saying that it’ll be quite the Christmas miracle. If you and I can go over to Doug and Julie’s in time for the party, given all the crimping you’ve been doing in there.

Rip thing. Fixed my hair. Well, whatever you did, you look lovely as usual. Uh, well, so should we head out then? Oh, no. I have a much better idea. You too. Yeah. I thought maybe we could just skip this party and go straight to the after party festivities. Hmm. Somebody is very naughty boy. . Yes. Well, maybe you want to be nice.

You get this? You said that we weren’t exchanging gifts until tomorrow. We aren’t, but this one, I. This one has to be open tonight.

Merry Christmas.

Oh, honey, that sounds just wonderful. Wow.

Honey. Julie just walked in with, uh, all the Horton ornaments in the big box. You remember that hope? Yes. Yes. Uh, I, I’ll, I’ll let you say hello to her in a second. Yes. Oh, thank you. And, and Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to you, princess. Hope. Hope darling. Hi. Oh, you can’t imagine how much your father and I wish that you were here with us right now.

Of course. Well, I’m expecting nothing less than a, a gold medal for every one of your skating students at the next Olympics, . Of course. I love you too, sweetheart. Okay. Okay. Bye-Bye. She sounds in good spirits. She does. God bless her. She has just devoted to those skating students. Yeah, but still I know.

That’s great. But I, I wish I didn’t have to talk to her long distance. Yeah, I miss her too. Wow. I miss ’em all. You realize this is the first Christmas that we won’t have one child or any of our grandchildren here to celebrate with us in. Hope she’s in Montreal and Sierra and Ben are sailing the great wide ocean with Little Bow.

And Sean Douglas and and Bell are in Africa with Claire. Lucky you got me here, kiddo. I’m very lucky I’ve got you and I know it. Poor Eli Lonnie and the twins, their first Christmas all apart, far, far away in Maryland. It’s just so depressing. Julie, dear, how I know Valerie is there for Eli and the twins, and that’s great, but I would just like to know that they’re okay.

You know, I would, I, I would give everything just to see them with my own two eyes. I think that can be arranged.

Hey, grandma is,

Holy, precious darling. Look. Yeah, I, I seen them. Dear . Oh my sweet sweetheart. Merry Christmas. Your grandma miss you.

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

Did you know they were coming? Honey, I was sworn to secrecy you. Devil Uhhuh. I don’t think we should invoke, you know who? Especially after what happened last Christmas point taken. I’m so thrilled to have them here. It’s real. It’s real. Grandpa, take a look at your great grandpa, darling, isn’t he? You? You are so beautiful.

You’ve grown up so much. I won’t be able to call you little Jules much longer

sweethearts. So how on earth did you manage to cross CrossCountry from Maryland with these two all by yourself? Uh, grandma, I have learned to do a lot of things on my own since Lonnie went away.

Say something. It’s an ornament. Yeah, but it’s not just any ornament. It’s, it’s your ornament for the Horton treat. Isn’t that just for family? Baby, you are family. You’re my husband.

What’s wrong? It’s just I don’t feel worthy of it having an on your family’s tree.

Tonight’s your family’s big tree trimming party. His dad’s getting tunnels and Charlotte ready?

I’ll bring them tomorrow so they can wish you a Merry Christmas,

Christmas without you.

I am gonna do my best to make it okay for the kids, cuz I know that’s what you would want

for me.

Miss you more every day. Not less. Like some people expect, they say that it, it gets easier with.

Every day, I can’t

see your smile,

hear your voice, feel you close to me.

Like I said, I miss. More, not less,

but uh, but I will, I will see to it that the, that our babies find some joy is Christmas. They will,

I’ll be surrounded by a lot of people that loved you.

I love you, Abigail.

I love you forever.

You’re here.

Well, of course I’m here. Where else would I be on Christmas Eve? But here with our precious girl, I thought Jack was picking you up from the airport. Well, I knew that he was gonna be on granddaddy duty, so I took a car service. The flowers are lovely, Chad.

She should.

She should be getting ready to hang her order in helping the kids hang theirs.

I know.

Um, Mattie, I’m, I’m gonna have to phone you back. Hi. Hello there, little lad. I didn’t see or hear you come in. Shouldn’t you be upstairs getting ready for the party? I’m already ready. Ah, so I see. Why don’t you look very sharp indeed. Um, maybe you should be a good big brother and go help little Charlotte get ready too.

Grandpa Jack is helping. Why does Zander, you, didn’t anyone ever teach you that it’s impolite to eavesdrop? How wasn’t eavesdropping you? Just talk loud. What did you do for him? What did I do for Zander? Um, I just did him a favor. That’s all. What kind of favor?

An ornament with my name on it doesn’t belong in the same forest as your family, let alone the same Hello family Christmas tree.

You have heard all about how my family is filled with saints. Did you also know that it’s filled with sinners? Yeah. Right. No, I’m serious. My dad and my uncle Bill’s rivalry over my Aunt Laura was. Bad. It almost turned deadly. Really? Mm-hmm. and Julie? It’s not Julie. Julie and her mother, my aunt ADD, fell in love with the same excon.

Who? They met through my Uncle Bill. No. Mm-hmm. . Wait. Who? Like Julie was in love with some ex-Con. Doug. Doug. Doug. Doug. Doug. And don’t even get me started on my cousins. That’s a whole other horror show. So, but say you, my husband still think you’re not worthy.

Save by the knock.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, Jack . Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to you. It is so good to see you here with us little ones. Now it is Christmas. Yeah. Hey sweetheart. Why don’t we see if we can get these two guys upstairs and show them your lay room. Oh, that’s a great idea. Yeah. Oh, thank you so much for hiring Lucy.

In there. Here, and look out the little ones. Oh, let me tell you about Lucy. She’s a sophomore at Salem High. She lives on this street. Daddy, I think she wants a little nappy pool in the playroom. I’ll take her. Well, we’ll go get up there with her now. Now Lucy’s waiting. That’s good.

Patios fer.

Good luck.

Isn’t this cream? Yeah. So wonderful to have. Now it’s Christmas. It is. It’s Christmas. cookies and kitties.

Jack’s in charge now.

Okay, darling. Really, how are you coping? Oh, I’m not gonna lie to you, grandma. It’s been tough. I’m sure Valerie has been a big help. Oh, yeah. No, my, my mom’s been great. I don’t know how I would’ve done it without her, but as much as the twins love them, some Grandma Val, she is no substitute for their mom.

Why you are persistent, aren’t you? If persistent means curious, then yep. Hmm. Right. But the truth is,

can you keep a secret?

I helped Zander pick out cousin Sarah’s Christmas present. Can’t you do that? Well, Because I have exquisite taste. But you cannot say anything about this to anyone. Okay. Because Zander wouldn’t want Sarah to know that he needed help. So this has to be Oh, secret. Yeah. What are you too conspiring about?

Well, I was on my way over to Julie’s then. I thought I’d swing by to see if the two of you needed a lift. Oh, thank you. Magus. Very thoughtful of you. But I feel like I, uh, have walked in on something. No, we’re, we’re fine. We’re all fine here. No, we are not fine here. Sanders being hard on himself. He has reservations about putting his ornament on the Horton family tree.

Sander, your Uncle Victor, not his own ornament. When he and I got. And the Hortons were okay with that? Oh, not exactly at first. Some members at the family, they were a little crazy that their uncle Mickey’s widow had taken up with the reformed Greek mobster. See, I knew it. Ha, but they got over themselves when, uh, they realized how much Victor.

Loved each other

So you, my dear son-in-law, you are also reformed, but not just reformed. You are a wonderful husband to my daughter. And drum roll please. You also say, Bonnie from that sadistic kidnapping clown. So face it, Xander. You’re one of the good guys now a hero.

Those poor little angels, their first Christmas without their mother. It’s not nearly as sad as what Charlotte and Thomas are going through. And Chad, oh my God, I, I can’t even imagine. Nor can. The good news is that Lonnie will be eligible for parole in a year. So at least I get to reassure the kids that their mom will be coming home soon.

Chad can’t make that promise to his, I’m, I’m just so sorry that I haven’t been here for you more. Chad, don’t, don’t apologize. You had to take care of yourself. You did that. You’re here. Yes, I am back. And being back and, and facing the reality again of losing our precious abi I, it’s different Without the crutch of, of being high, I feel different.

I don’t know, just more, uh, less self-centered in my grief. I. I’m worried about you, Chad, how you’re doing, how the kids are doing.

We’re managing, yeah, those, those kids are resilient. I always say they get that from their mother. They get that from you too. Well, I don’t know about that. Yeah. Honestly, the, um, Focusing on other things has, has really helped, uh, work. Yeah. I, I, I heard that you’re, uh, you’re working for Stephanie’s PR firm.

Is that right? How’s that going? Yeah, it’s, it’s been a lifeline, huh? I mean, Stephanie is a, is a great boss. She’s a great friend. It’s good. Sounds like you’re getting close. Yeah. We have this shit in here. Oh, it’s cold out here. Yeah. Well, well, you. And we, uh, head over to that Christmas Eve party where there’s a warm house full of a lot of people who can’t wait to see you.

Merry Christmas, my angel.

Why sweet? Eli? I missed you so much. I missed you too. Both of you. You know the kids are always asking about you. Oh. I am thrilled that you’re here with the twins for Christmas. I just can’t imagine anything that would make this day any better. You sure about that?

We were hardly conspiring. We were just, um, bonding a little, weren’t we, darling? Well, I’m glad to hear that. So get ready for some more family. Bondi, Eli, the twins just showed up. Ah, Buffy. Yes it is. Yes it is. So, uh, let’s say we get in there and start talking it up. What do you say? Sport and then the ornaments.

And then the ornaments. Right? Well, I, I will meet you out there because I have to go check something in the. What does that, can we have a now after the ornaments, come on, let’s go see the twins. Come on and we’ll see you soon.

God nosey. Little How is Bonnie? Ugh. Well, she’s still suffering from that hole Kidnapping ordeal. She sees demented clowns everywhere she looks. I really hope that she follow through. I’m going to see a therapist. Yes, so do I, but for now, she’s alive and she’s well. Thanks to you, Xander. We’re all very grateful to you for that, for your bravery.

You, my brave husband, have a very important appointment to keep with a certain Christmas tree and I intend to make sure that you keep it. Ah, and there’s no arguing with her when she has that look on her face. Don, I. And I can’t fight off both of you, so let’s trim ourselves a tree, shall we?

Grandma, this is my big boy. Oh, . Oh, oh. It’s so good to see you. Merry Christmas grandma. Merry Christmas to you, my dear. Oh, where’s your sister? Oh, CICE upstairs with Jules and Carver. And, uh, Oh, Lucy, that sweet girl from down the street. Yep. 15 years old and very responsible. Oh wow. Bless her for giving us her time today.

Huh? Jennifer, why didn’t you let me pick you up at the airport? Oh, well

I had to make a quick stop first. Alright then. Well, sweetheart, I missed you. Oh, so much. I missed you.

What’s going on, man? How you doing? I’m well, brothers. How are you?

Take it each day as it comes. That’s all you can do. I know this Christmas is gonna be a tough one for you and the kids. For you too though, man. Oh, you know, thank God we all got each other. Damn that the kids are surrounded by so many people that love them. Yeah. Anyway, speaking of kids, I’m better check up on the twins now.

Yeah. Good to see you. Good to see you too.

This is turning out to be a lovely Christmas after all. Indeed, it is. There’s nothing like being with family for the holidays.

Well, I have found someone who wants to say hello. Hi, Charlotte. Fuck it. How you’ve grown. Seth, come sit right here. Aw, where are carver jewels? They both went down for an nap. Oh my goodness. Wow. . Good to see you too. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Well, I would love to drink in all this family. Goodness, but I have to sit out the desserts.

When’s already doing that? When? Allie and I are doing the desserts, so if you all will, excuse me. Uh oh. Grandma’s on the war pass. Uh oh indeed. Did I? But now it’s officially Christmas

What do you think you’re doing with those? Well, this is British Christmas pudding. It’s a holiday tradition in the uk. Surely you have room in that iron stomach of yours for something other than pedestrian donuts.

My beloved grandmother created the recipe for those donuts. Their Horton family legacy passed on through the generations. She also created this beautiful home that you are squatting in. So if I were you, I think I would show a little. Respect. Hmm. I think it’s you who should be showing me some respect, because if it weren’t for me, your precious cousin Jennifer would be spending the holidays in Statesville.

Hello. Don’t tell us that you started the party without us. Oh my goodness. So, so good to see you. Oh, my cousin, it’s so good to see you. Yes, aunt Maggie. Oh, hello, Jennifer. Oh, oh. Merry Christmas darling. Aren’t you? And you, Jack. It’s so good to be home

here. You finally made an honest man out of this. Oh, I dunno if I’ll go that far. Oh. I’m like . Welcome to the family. Zander. Nice mate. Yeah, that means a lot. Right? I know you and Lonnie didn’t always have the highest opinion for me. Just a family. Yeah. Well that changed after you helped rescue your twins from that crazy ass Vivian Alama.

I’m just glad I could do. How’s Lonnie doing? Uh, she’s counting down in days, but she’ll be home soon. Hm. Will you please give her our love? I will. I’ll also tell her that this man has changed his life and you’re making our cousin a very happy lady.

That can’t be true. No. This is just another one of your manipulations. No manipulation at all. You can ask Jennifer if you don’t believe me, although I think that might be quite stressful for her to have to relive the accident. I am guessing it was quite traumatic for her to have to get behind the wheel of a car high as a kit and run down her stepdaughter.

Wouldn’t wanna trigger a relapse for her. Now, would we, what is in this for you, Gwen? What’s your angle? Why are you keeping it a secret? Some sort of insurance. Are you’re planning on blackmail? Jennifer, are you planning on using it as a get outer jail free card? Oh Lord, goodness sake. No. Stop. Look.

Jennifer and I will probably never be friends, but she’s my father’s wife and I love my father, which is why I haven’t said anything and I’m not going to

now. Then is there room enough at your Christmas Eve party for me and my pudding? I’ll go ahead serve your bloody pu, but there will never be room enough on the Horton Christmas tree for an or. With your name on it? Mm-hmm. , I don’t think you’ll have much say in the matter when you’ve, you know, cashed in your chance.

I’ll have a say in the matter. I’ll always have a say in the matter, even if I have to send a directive from the great beyond.

Standby baby. I’m actually a bit chilly. I’m gonna run upstairs and grab a sweater. Hurry back,

Thomas. Hey. Hi cousin Sarah. I hope that you’re having a nice c. It’s okay. I miss Mommy though. Yeah, of course you do. We all miss her very much. But Tylee said she’s looking after us from heaven. Yes. Yeah, of course she is. I hope you are the present and, but you, I’m sure I will. Aunt Gwen helps him pick it.

What? Oops. It was supposed to be a secret. She only told me cuz I heard her on the phone. What are you talking about? I hurt for Tell somebody that’s saying your older one.

I’ll keep your secret.

Gwen look. Hi. Yeah. Hi. Hello Maggie. Hi Gwen. How are you? Well, and Jennifer, Merry Christmas. Same to you, Gwen. I’m glad that you are. You are doing better. My dad tells me you’re doing better. I’m glad. Thank you. Right. Hi. Where’s Sarah? You know what? Actually, it doesn’t matter. I, I just need to tell you, but she’s, hi Gwen.

Merry Christmas. Same to you, Sarah. Everybody. It’s getting to be that time. Who wants to trim the Horton Christmas tree? Oh, wait, wait. But it’s dog. Are you gonna sing for us this?

I just tell the truth. I love you so much. God Williams and I love you. Juli Olson Banning Anderson Williams. . What don’t you say we title off. Got another big day tomorrow. Yeah. Christmas day. Wow. Can’t wait to spend it with you. Mylo.

Oh, who are you texting? Uh, Maggie. Just making sure she got home Safe and sound. Aw. So are the kids all sleeping? Oh yes. All four are nestled snug in their bed streams of St. Nicholas. Poor Eli’s in bed too. Totally exhausted. Well, traveling with kids will do that to you. Ah, true, true. So do you wanna go to sleep too?

Actually, sleep is not what I had on my mind. Jack and a house full of people. I know I can be quiet since when. All right, Mrs. Dev, maybe show you some of my steal moves. Oh, . Oh, okay. . All right. All right. Oh, hang on. One a second. Oh, oh. Phone. Oh, no. Ignore it. Ignore it. Oh, no, no. It’s jj. It’s JJ Johannesburg.

Hello. Oh. Oh. Hi, sweetheart. Oh, it’s so good to hear your voice. Merry Christmas to you.

Well, at least someone’s going to have a Merry Christmas.

There she is. You had some fun tonight, I hope. Yeah, I did up until a certain point. Oh yeah. I mean, of course it was sad too. Mm-hmm. , Abigail gone, and Lonnie not being there either, but your family were great. They made me feel so welcome, like I really belonged.

What’s. Well, I would’ve thought it’d be obvious it being Christmas and everything. Mm-hmm. . And You want me to open it now? What’s that? The midnight.

Is this the gift that Gwen help you pick out for me? What? That’s what she told. Apparently he overheard her telling someone that you owed her one. Oh, yeah. That it was, yes. No, I, I, I ran into it in the square when I was shopping and she could see that I was just clueless, had no idea what to get you, and yeah, she agreed to help me.

Let’s see what happens when you two put your heads together.

This is what you and Gwen picked out from me. Merry Christmas.

Oh, Abby. I did it my made it through my first Christmas Eve without you.

I managed to stay strong for the kids.

I think they had had some fun.

They’re so sweet and brave. Yeah. I got them some gifts from you. Some things that I, I, I thought maybe you would’ve gotten them.

I hope it helped them. I’m sure it did.

Abby,

you’re here. I’m always here. You think a little thing like death is gonna come between a love like ours? No. No, not even that.

I miss you. I miss you.

You know, you said you needed to be strong for the kids. I think you should be strong for yourself too. There’s so much left for you to do. There’s so much joy for you to feel, and I’m gonna be with you every step of the way with you and Thomas and.

Their faces,

Merry Christmas.

Hope: Merry christmas.

Eric: Thank you. Let me see this dress. I wanna see this dress. Let me see.

Hope: I’ll take it off later.

Eric: Okay, okay. Listen, I’m done to be a limited edition

Liam: Woo!Bells

hey!

Jingle bells, jingle bells

jingle all the way

oh what fun it is to ride

in a one-horse open sleigh

Liam: Woo!

Hope: You guys sound awesome.

Beth: Daddy’s being silly.

Hope: Oh, yes, he is. And that is why we love him. Wow.

Carter: Charlie, my man. That’s a cool fishing rod.

Charlie: Fishing rod? My friend, this happens to be a limited edition platinum 360b.

Pam: His christmas gift from me. We’re actually sneaking away for a few days.

Charlie: Yeah.

Eric: Good. You deserve that. Both of you.

Charlie: Little r&r at the cabin, you know. Pammy will knit and I’ll stare at her lustily and hope the fish don’t bother me.

Eric: That’s great for the two of you. Good. It’s a great way to end off the year.

Pam: Eric, you know that this is what stephanie always wanted for me. A kind-hearted fella to call my own. Even though she’s not here physically, I– I feel like she’s here with us.

Brooke: I feel her presence every day.

Katie: Especially on a day like today when we went to the mission.

Brooke: It’s wonderful that we’re continuing the important family tradition.

Katie: Yeah.

Eric: Yeah. Stephanie would be proud. She’d be proud of all of us gathering here in– in our family home. So let’s eat, drink and be merry. All right? Not necessarily in that order.

Pam: What order?

Eric: Come on. Okay. And you put that outside.

Charlie: You sure?

Pam: He’s gonna put somebody’s eyes out.

Katie: So, are you having a holly, jolly good time?

Carter: Always. Though I am a little nervous about eric’s eggnog.

Katie: Oh, you should be. It’s lethal.

[ Carter laughing ] Oh.

Carter: Mistletoe.

Katie: Hmm.

Carter: Did you plan this? Did you plan to get me under here?

Katie: Well, I don’t know who put it up there, but I’m awfully glad they did.

Carter: New year, new possibilities.

Katie: New possibilities with someone who doesn’t just listen, but actually hears me. Someone I know will take very, very good care of my heart.

Carter: A very special, miraculous heart.

Eric: Everybody, please can I say something for a minute? Okay. We’re going to eat pretty soon. We will. So, don’t eat all this, right? We got lots of food. Um, I’m so happy that everybody’s here. Thank you. I’m actually honored that you’re here in the house. Oh, in fair warning, I’m gonna ask everybody to just say a little something about what you feel grateful for this year. You know, what I see here, I see love and affection that you all share for each other and support and protectiveness. And that means we’re a family. That’s the most important thing. So, happy holidays. And god bless us everyone.

Charlie: Yeah.

Hope: Hear, hear. Pain hits fast. everyone here, all of yo

Zende: Granddad, you’re my biggest advocate. Everyone here, all of you have guided me in some unique way. Some of you are family, but all of you are friends. Today, I am so very thankful for the meaningful connections I’ve made in my life. And for second chances.

Paris: Second chances, third chances. However many times it takes for us to get it right because when it’s worth it and when it’s written in the stars, it always falls into place.

Carter: It’s been quite the year. I learned a lot. And what I lost, I gained in clarity. I have a lot to appreciate like your forgiveness, your brotherhood. You guys are my chosen family and I’m looking forward to seeing what tomorrow brings.

Katie: The holidays, new year it’s– it’s a time for reflection. It’s a celebration of all those little miracles that have brought us to this place. And I just know that we have so many more miracles yet to come. All of us. All my sisters. I’m just so happy that we’re all in such a good place.

Hope: Aw. There’s that logan pride. I mean, I am so happy I get to be a part of– of that group. But not only you, but everyone here, I mean, you all are such extraordinary people and I’m so happy my kids have such good role models to look up to, especially this man right here.

Liam: Kids are really growing up. I mean, look at ’em. Like all wide-eyed and enthusiastic. It’s the best. You guys are the best. You know that, right? It’s a nice reminder to stay openhearted. Just look for the joy. It’s there. And um, fortunately in my case, I don’t have to look too far.

Brooke: We’re all very lucky to have good health, good fortune, lifelong friendships. You know, life isn’t perfect. And when we feel alone, we get to lean on the people that we love. Like I lean on my children and my grandchildren, my family. And I am so grateful to have each and every one of you in my life, especially now.

[ Door creaks ]

Pam: Yay! You made it.

Eric: You’re– you’re just in time. We’re all telling what we’re actually grateful for. And I’m grateful for you as my son and that you showed up here just now.

Ridge: I’m– I’m here. And I brought presents for everybody. And I’m– I’m wearing a– a big coat of humility ’cause I thought I knew everything about life and love and communicating and it turns out I know very little.

Eric: Yeah. Well, fair warning, you’re never gonna figure any of that out except what’s really important. Merry christmas, everybody.

All: Merry christmas.

Zende: We’re glad you made it.

Hope: Can you believe ridge came?

Liam: I don’t know. Is it weird that I’m not that surprised? Who wouldn’t wanna spend christmas with the girl of his dreams?

Brooke: I wasn’t sure you’d make it.

Ridge: Oh, I wasn’t sure I was gonna make it either, but I really wanted to see your face. Merry christmas. When a cold comes on strong, the power of ridge and brooke

Katie: Gosh, it’s– it’s huge that ridge decided to show up.

Donna: Yep.

Charlie: What are they yapping about?

Eric: I don’t know, but I think it’s a good sign that he showed up after all.

Pam: It’s like I said, the power of ridge and brooke cannot be denied.

Charlie: When’s he gonna make the big move?

Ridge: I don’t wanna overstay my welcome. I just wanted to drop off some gifts and say hi and that’s it.

Brooke: What? No, don’t be silly. This is your family home. You don’t need to rush off.

Ridge: I don’t wanna interfere on your holiday. You know, I’ve– I’ve got some work to do on me. I gotta– I gotta learn how to be more direct.

Brooke: Well, let’s not get into that right now.

Ridge: I should have believed in you. I do. I do believe in you. And I know you’ve sworn off men for the moment, especially this man and it’s christmas.

Brooke: Oh, my goodness.

Ridge: Yeah. Very funny guys. What are you doing?

Pam: ‘Tis the season.

Charlie: Look like you needed a little nudge, so.

Ridge: What do you say?

Brooke: Well, it would be rude to deny the magic of the mistletoe.

Ridge: Hm.

Zende: You’re doing well.

Pam: All right. We’re closing in on it.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

Zende: Who has a gingerbread house?

Pam: I do.

Zende: Very lovely.

[ People cheering ] Yeah!

[ Everyone cheering ]

Brooke: So jealous. Always. Well done, sisters.

Carter: That’s a good one. Let’s keep going.

[ Overlapping chatter ]

Eric: Listen, everybody. I was so, um– I’m so glad to see how much fun we’re having. I know I am. I enjoyed very much to hear speeches about what– what you were grateful for in this life. I think it’s safe to say we’re all very blessed in our lives with great blessings. I think it’s uh, safe to say that on today and jesus’ birthday, that we all appropriately reach out to share some of that with– with others in our lives and with people that aren’t even in our lives. People not as fortunate as we are. I pledge to do that and I hope you do too. To live the philosophies of this life all year long and to make this world a better place.

Ridge: Well said, dad.

Eric: Thanks.

Carter: I think we all wish this feeling would last. People being kind and considerate, sharing their appreciation for each other, remembering the value of community. Sometimes the smallest gesture can make the biggest impact in a person’s life.

Brooke: There is beauty and inspiration all around us. We just need to open our eyes to see it. And all this joy and this happiness and this peace and love that we feel during christmas, we need to carry that with us all year long.

Eric: Yeah.

Brooke: Happy holidays, everybody.

Eric: Happy holidays okay, I want some of that eggnog.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

[ Douglas plays “jingle bells” ]

Carter: For me?

Katie: Yeah.

Carter: What?

Katie: It’s– it’s very small.

Carter: Oh, come on. You shouldn’t have. All right. Let’s see.

[ Eric plays “deck the halls” ]

Days Opinion Article 12/22/22

Opinion Article

by Marlene 12/22/22

Victor and Maggie in "Days of Our Lives" on Peacock

This is another wonderful week ending for Days. The past year has shown many changes to the show, and many characters have left. First there were Ben and Ciara, who are sailing the world with their son. Then Abigail was killed off, which for some viewers was very sad, since many fans have grown up with Abigail. Then Jake was killed off, and his brother Stefan returned from the dead. Susan Banks was also killed off. Of course, the saddest is that John Aniston will not be back, due to his real-life death.

Relationships in Salem don’t last very long, and some of the characters are being blamed for their actions. Nicole is a very fickle character and forever changing her men, like some people change their toothbrush. Eric is into the blaming game and does not really want to take responsibility for his own actions. He chose to be with Jada, even though he was still in love with Nicole. He blamed Nicole for Jada’s choice in ending her pregnancy. Brady’s decision to break-up with Chole was due to Kristen blackmailing him because of the Orchid she has in her possession, which would save Marlena, Kate and Kayla. This leaves viewers to believe that he is passive and fearful of psycho Kristen (a woman he loved, not too long ago.

The only real love relationship in Days lately is with Alex and Stephanie (both fairly new actors/characters). They bring a new breath of fresh air to bloom. With the New Year, viewers would appreciate seeing more lasting love relationships that are stable, and more family involvement. Also, many old time viewers want Days to be brought back to NBC. With the rising prices and inflation, it’s very hard for many to pay for the long-time soap that they’ve been so loyal and devoted to. Either way, let’s hope for a great year for the show!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Brook Lynn: Good evening, everyone. I know you’re all anxious for the main event to begin, and the concert will start in just a matter of minutes. But first, we will announce the results of our ugly christmas sweater contest. And look who we have here — our first runner-up, detective dante falconeri. Let’s give this guy a big round of applause.

[ Applause ] Okay. When did you enter the contest? I didn’T. I don’t know what she’s talking about. This is my favorite sweater.

[ Chuckles ] I didn’t think you’d come. Neither did I. But dante informed me that the ccrb may be reviewing my case in a few months. Thanks to your letter or whatever else you did. Which was what, exactly?

[ Sighs ] Looks like brook lynn pulled it off. Yeah, just in the saint nick of time.

[ Laughs ] You get it? Yeah. Your holiday humor is on point.

[ Chuckles ] Look who it is. Mrs. Claus. Oh, with my trusted assistant elf. That’s me. Like we practiced. Merry christmas.

[ Gasps ] Thank you. Hey, I just got home, and I’m getting everything ready. “Christina comes home for christmas” will be all set when you get here. So text me when you leave trina’s, okay?

[ Doorbell rings ] Love you. Avery: Merry christmas, mama carly!

[ Laughing ] Oh, my goodness! Spencer. What — merry christmas. You said you were leaving town. Because I was going to. I thought that there was nothing here for me anymore. And I was wrong. But if you want me to go, just say the words and I’ll leave you alone.

Jingle hell, jingle hell, jingle all the way

so much pain nik will feel when daddy comes to slay, hey!

[ Chuckles ] What do you think, ace? A solid plan? I know it’s risky, but… we’ve got to do whatever we can to get out of here. Doesn’t starting the new year off with our real family sound wonderful? And who would that be? A perfect fit. Oh. Buck up, santa. Bad attitudes get bupkis under the tree.

[ Quietly ] And this year, our christmas lists have one thing in common. Justice for our little girl and pain for everyone who dared hurt her. Still no bars. Great.

[ Vehicle approaches ]

Hey, thank you for stopping. Um, actually, I-I figured it out. So I don’t need any help. And I’m sure that you have somewhere that you need to be. So… here’s good. Okay, I get it. This is the definition of “should have called first.” I’m sorry for the intrusion. Shoes off. Are you drunk? You never talk about your family. You never ask. If it’s not about the baby or my supposed “crime spree,” you’re not interested. No adoptive family to pine for. They’re gone. Thanks for the reminder. Yeah. Your biological family, they’re — they’re a mystery. So what’s left? Chosen family? Close friends that are searching for you, who would move heaven and earth to find you? Is that so impossible to believe? In a word, yes. As far as I can tell, the only person who gives a damn about you is…me. How sad is that? The man whose life you dismantled is the closest thing that you have to family. Oh, so you give a damn about me, huh? And how would, um, ava react to you talking like that? Wouldn’t you like to know. Oh, I think I do. You should be with your wife right now, or at least attempting to woo her back. And instead, you’re here half drunk and lording your power over me. Tell me, nikolas. Did ava finally wise up and cut you loose for good? Carly: Oh, I’m so happy to see you! Is santa outside? Why? Because you are the best present he could have ever brought me.

[ Laughs ] Santa’s busy tonight. He sure is. Well, we were just on our way to the gingerbread jam and thought we’d pop by for a visit. Do you have time for some hot cocoa? Do we, mommy? I think we can squeeze it in. Yay! Double yay! Run in the kitchen. It’s all set up.

[ Sighs ] Thank you. Well, I-I was just accommodating avery’s wishes. Take your time. I’ll be in the car. Ava. Why don’t you join us? Or don’T. You know I’m not going to say please. Mac: Hey. Hey. Oh, hey. We missed the judging? Yeah. How is that an ugly sweater? Uh, thank you, felicia. That’s what I was saying. Apparently, you were robbed. I put a lot of time and effort into this sweater. Too much time and effort, one might say.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Well, I think you look great. This is where you say “thank you.” Sorry. Duty calls. Oh. Now, that truly is one of the ugliest sweaters I’ve ever seen. Oh, yeah. Isn’t it? I didn’t know the review board was revisiting your case. Considering revisiting. Chase, this is amazing. It could be. But I have a hunch your letter alone wasn’t enough to seal the deal. I didn’t even know they read the letter. W-what’s with the third degree? Isn’t this what you wanted? Of course it’s what I wanted. I’m just trying to figure — chase and blaze were supposed to be onstage 10 minutes ago. Is this happening or not? Because if it isn’t, you can kiss our partnership and all your precious songs goodbye.

Donna, this is absolutely beautiful. Did you do this yourself? Daddy helped. Oh, daddy helped. Oh, let me guess what part you did. The glitter. How do you know? Because you still are wearing some of it. Ah. And you, young lady, how about you do me a favor and help me find the perfect spot for this, okay, on my tree later on? I want it front and center.

[ Laughs ] Hey, why don’t you put this on the tree, too? Or I can eat it. Oh. Or that. But you’d better ask your dad first. Yeah, yeah. It’s christmas eve. You can have a candy cane. Uh, you know what? She wanted to, uh, go see the reindeer, so… I would be delighted. All right.

[ Chuckles ] Here, this way.

[ Sighs ] Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you have all been waiting for has finally arrived. Please help me welcome to the stage two of music’s fastest rising stars, chase and blaze!

[ Cheers and applause ] Hello, port charles! Thanks for coming out. We’re excited to be here. That’s right. We’ve got a lot of holiday tunes coming your way. But before that — our new song drops tonight. But guess who gets to hear it first?

[ Cheers and applause ]

That’s right. That’s right. Are you guys ready? Let’s do this. Yes. Keep me close when you go far away keep this light to see you through together: Close your eyes to find a better way buried deep to something true and I’ll find a way I’ll find a way to you I’ll find a way I’ll find a way to you and all the stars are shining in your eyes could we find a place beyond the lies? I’ll be here when you return ’cause I’ll find a way I’ll find a way I’ll find a way to you I’ll find a way I’ll find a way I’ll find a way to you find a way to you I’ll find a way I’ll find a way I’ll find a way to you find a way to you I’ll find a way I’ll find a way I’ll find a way to you and hope won’t change what won’t return but I’ll take a chance so please don’t turn away I’ll find a way I’ll find a way to you I’ll find a way you okay? Yeah, I’m fine. What are you doing here? Tailing you. Wow. You’re not even going to try to come up with another excuse? Why bother? Hey, does — does this hurt? Um… a little. You sure you’re okay? Yes, I’m fine. Something you’re not going to be when sonny finds out about this. I’ll handle it. And if there’s a meat hook involved? Better me on a hook than a hook in you. Spencer: Where is everybody? Trina: Watching a movie. Wow. You guys really went all-out with the christmas decorations. Um, my mom, marshall, and curtis went all out. This isn’t the norm for a robinson christmas, believe me. Makes sense, though, right? First christmas in a new house. Got to go big. They’re trying to make things better for me. After, uh, rory, you mean. I appreciate the effort, but — it didn’t work?

[ Sighs ] Don’t say anything, okay? I’m not gonna. I played along and pretended to be in the spirit. But, honestly, my only wish for this christmas is to wake up and have these last few days just be a bad dream. Past few years for me. I would change everything. Everything? Except coming back to port charles. Because then I wouldn’t have met you. I’ll find a way I’ll find a way I’ll find a way to you

[ Cheers and applause ] Uh, I know it’s christmas eve. Oh, but something’s come up? I got to cut out early. Oh — dante: Hey, what’s going on? You get a break on cabrera? Dante, enjoy the night off. What is it? Is it the earring? See you later. Hopefully under the mistletoe. Actually, you’re coming with me. I am? But if this is police business — partly. It’s also personal. We do have a lead on rory’s murder. It goes back to you. And ryan chamberlain.

Pulled dna offthe earring found on rory. Dante: So you got a hit? A woman named gloria wilson. What? That’s — that’s someone you — you know? Uh, it’s ryan’s ex-wife. Okay, so what — what are we saying, that she’s working with esme now? Is she a suspect? She can’t be. Why not? She’s dead. I witnessed her murder. She died. Ryan killed her 30 years ago. How does an earring from one victim of a serial killer end up connected to another victim of a serial killer three decades later? That’s a good question. Well, there’s only one way to get answers. Actually, I think I may have changed my mind. Ah, too late. Like you said, this is personal. You guys were incredible. Could you feel the energy out here? Uh, you were a little pitchy. Thanks. And we need to talk wardrobe. I said santa’s mistress, not santa’s mother-in-law. Come on.

[ Speaking indistinctly ] I can’t wait for that sleaze to be canceled. Yeah, I hear that. So, does this mean what I think it means? You willing to give us another shot? Um… got a lead on the hook. What are you still doing here? Go.

[ Grunts ] Josslyn: Hey. You get service? Um, a few bars show up like 50 yards down. Um, the tow’s on its way. Listen, you don’t have to wait here with me. Tow truck’s going to get here. It’s freezing. What are you doing? You said you were cold. Well, yeah, but, I-I mean, I-I meant I didn’t want you to be cold. Here. You know, if I want you to take your clothes off, you’ll know. Yeah? How so? I’m very direct that way. I like that about you. You say what’s on your mind, what you’re feeling. Except for when you’re not sure. Excuse me. I am fully in touch with all of my feelings. If you say so. I do say so. Care to test that? Walkie talkies?

[ Laughs ] Yeah. ‘Cause you’re too young for a phone. Yeah, much too young. And anyway, these are more fun because only people who know your secret frequency can talk to you. Well, go, give it a try. Oh, wait. Leave one for me!

[ Laughs ]

[ Sighs ] Supposed to snow tonight. Uh-huh. Does sonny have avery tomorrow? He does. Hm. Well, that’s all I got.

[ Scoffs ] I told you I’d wait in the car. Yeah, so you could call nina and you guys could talk about me. No. Oh, no. We avoid the subject of you like the plague.

[ Scoffs ] Nikolas, then. Oh. Is there trouble in paradise? Wow. And after you reveled in my divorce. Yeah, I know. Karma is indeed a bitch. I didn’t think I’d live to see the day. Drop it. Oh, has it hit the society pages yet? Ryan: Time’s running out. You need to recommit yourself to the task. Destroying ava and nikolas.

[ Quietly ] Daddy will be so pleased. Nikolas: What did you say? I asked who gets the house. What part of “drop it” is confusing to you? Oh. Don’t worry, ace. Your father’s not mad at you. He’s mad at himself. He has a bad habit of miscalculating. Like when he locked your mother up in here as if she was the boogeyman. You know, I’m not. You’ll figure that out when someone else dies, and you’ll have only yourself to blame. Spencer: I’m so sorry about rory. Yeah. Me, too. I’ve heard from pretty much everyone what a good guy he was. And he obviously meant a lot to you.

[ Sighs ] It’s still so weird to hear people talk about him in the past tense. Sorry. Don’t be. You’re right. He was here, and now he’s gone. Because of me. Trina, no. If he had never met me, he’d still be alive. I’m to blame. It’s my fault. I brought esme to port charles. I-I-I put you in her path. You’re trying to help, and I’m grateful. But esme being caught is the only thing that will make this right. Not better — but right. I agree, esme deserves to be brought to justice. And if the police won’t do it, then I will. Merry christmas. It’s the least I could do after you took such good care of our daughter. Don’t worry that you didn’t get me anything. Those bedroom eyes are gift enough. Besides, didn’t spend a dime on it. Well? Aren’t you going to open it?

[ Laughs ] Just kidding. You are going to jump for joy when you see what is inside this. Oh, but, oops. You can’t, can you?

[ Chuckles ] Besides, we don’t want all the loons around here getting jealous. Mac: Pcpd. Yeah, we’re here to see one of your guests. Felicia: Talk about a generous description. Heather, step away from ryan. Yeah. Maybe you can tell us what you were doing with him.

Okay, I’m ready to give this another try, because no matter what happened, linc needs to be stopped. Yes. Chase, you have no idea how happy this makes me — hey, hang on, ’cause I-I want to be really, really clear. When I say give this another try, I mean our business partnership. Nothing more. So, my goal… mm-hmm. …Is not to be a downer tonight. That’s impossible. With what happened to rory, it just makes me think about J. Makes sense. And it’s not lost that it must be really difficult for you to think about your son putting his life on the line every day. Maybe I deserve it, considering what I put people through over the years. Mnh-mnh. Tell you what. Why don’t we go, you know, to all saints on the way home and light a candle for your brother? Yeah. And for dante. Done. And is that mac scorpio under all that scruff? Meow. He’s taken. Oh, the aztec princess herself. It is such an honor to be in the presence of royalty. Do you know who that is? Well, of course. Ryan chamberlain’s practically the mayor in these parts. I’m just a volunteer fill-in while his orderly’s off the clock. That’s great. Then you can translate, yeah? Lose something? The whole reason that esme came after you is because she knows that hurting you means hurting me. And now she’s coming after the people who are closest to you. The people who stood in your corner and who defended you, all due credit to ava and diane. But you were my biggest defender. And esme hates me for it. I’m her biggest target. Well, if esme wants me, she can have me.

[ Vehicle approaching ] Oh. Sorry. Um, don’t be. No, I-I mean it. I shouldn’t have complicated things.

[ Sighs ] Would you stop? I don’t need you making excuses for my choices. No, that’s not what I meant. I’m — thank you so much for coming. So, what did you ask santa for? Will he still bring it if I tell? I think you’re thinking of birthday wishes. Those are supposed to be kept secret. Christmas is different. But you do not have to tell me if you don’t want to. I asked santa to bring you a happy new year. Your christmas wish was for me?

[ Sighs ] Donna, that is the kindest, most generous thing. Thank you, sweetie. I really hope santa comes through. So do I. Hey, you want to get some cocoa? With extra marshmallows. Yes.

[ Laughs ] I’m a little confused right now. I thought — we had an agreement. I promised to help you get your songs back from linc, and I’m keeping that promise. But that’s it. That’s as far as this goes. But the letter, your second chance with the ccrb, doesn’t that give us a second chance, too? I appreciate what you did for me. And, yeah, that is why I’m here tonight. But that doesn’t change the fact that you played god with my future. That’s a little bit of an overstatement. I disagree. You took away my agency, brook lynn. You made choices without consulting me about my own life. I’m so sorry. I know you are. Then can’t we get past this? Go back to the way things were? No. We can’T. Don’t hold back celebrating on my account. I just can’t believe nikolas cheated on you. Multiple times, with multiple women, as a matter of fact. Wow. I thought nikolas was smarter than that. I’m really sorry. So am I. Avery:

[ Through walkie talkie ] Mommy? You just have to push that button — I know how it works.

[ Walkie talkie beeps ] Hi, sweetheart.

Does it work?

[ Walkie talkie beeps ] Yeah — yes, yes, it’s working. Now, why don’t you come back in here? It’s time for us to go to the gingerbread jam. Oh, and — and what do you say to carly?

Thank you, mama carly! You’re welcome, sweetheart. Well, that’S… a very thoughtful gift. Thank you. And merry christmas, carly. Merry christmas, ava. And, uh, have a happy new year, if I don’t see you. God knows I can’t wait for this one to be over. Here’s hoping for a fresh start for all of us. “Didn’t jordan tell you? No ava, no info.” W-what does that mean? Dante: Oh, man. A cop is dead, you son of a bitch. Talk — now. You need to take a break. Aw, come on. He’s messing with us. Can’t you see that? That’s an order, detective. You know damn well this was your ex-wife’S. It was found on the person of rory cabrera. One of port charles’ finest. Right after he succumbed to wounds inflicted by a serial killer who we believe to be esme prince. You remember esme, right? One of your former confidants in here? Your room is being tossed as we speak. Uh, you can just waltz in and do that? Inmates’ rights are limited at best, but I’m sure you know that already. If there’s evidence connecting you to esme and the murders, they’ll find it. Mac: And even if there isn’t, I’m putting all this before a judge. You’re up to your ears in this case, buddy. When mac is through with you, you are going to d’archam for the rest of your sorry life. I’ll create a situation so tempting that esme won’t be able to resist. She’ll come for me, but I’ll be ready. Are you insane? You’re not baiting that maniac. Trina, it’s not your call. No, it’s jordan’S. You’d rat me out? Beats burying you, don’t you think? Trina, this will work. All I have to do is lure esme out of hiding, and it’ll work because I’ll be prepared this time. No, you’re not putting a bullseye on yourself! She is not going to have the element of surprise anymore. Lure esme out how? I don’t know. I haven’t gotten that far yet. But I will, and it will be inspired. Tell me that you think that this is a good idea. It has potential. Thank you. But it’s missing one key factor. What? Me. How nice that you find such pleasure in my misfortune. No one is keeping you here… unlike me. If you don’t like my attitude, leave. Well, excuse me for checking in. You have demetrius for that. Well, you’re not carrying demetrius’ child. I needed to see for myself that you’re all right. Do I look all right, nikolas? It’s freezing in here. I sleep in moth-eaten linens. I have no one to talk to except for the baby. About what? I’m sorry? What do you talk to the baby about? Since when do you care? You’re bored. You want real conversation. I-I’m here. You’re only here because you have nowhere else to go and certainly no one else to talk to.

[ Chuckles ] And you call me sad.

[ Door opens ] Esme: No, really think about it. The closest thing you have to companionship is your prisoner.

[ Laughing ]

Oh, I was getting so worried about you. Hi, dex. Um, dex — dex took over for steve. And I was having car trouble, so he gave me a ride home. Thank you for that. No problem. You didn’t start the movie, right? I would never start the movie without you. I’m gonna go get the popcorn, okay? Okay. Merry christmas. Back at you. Thanks again. Any time. Hopefully sooner rather than later. You alone aren’t enough bait. But you and me together? Pretending to turn to each other after rory’s death? Esme won’t be able to help herself. Absolutely not. Why? Because it’s dangerous. Oh, okay. So you can take risks, but not me. Mm-hmm. Come on. You have to admit it’s a good idea. It has potential. But I still don’t like it. So what’s the alternative, spencer? Do nothing and let someone else suffer as a result? Come on. You know we’re stronger together. This is so not what I had in mind when I came over here. I thought you came here to be my friend, to try to make me feel better. Of course I did. Then… mission accomplished. So are you in, or what? Your window of opportunity is rapidly closing. Give up esme before we nail her and she gives you up. Don’t be fooled. Ryan is dangerous, even shut in here. Tread carefully. Oh, well, thank you. And feliz navidad, your highness. Is it your majesty? No — your highness. Uh, what are you — I also turned up the heat, so don’t say that I’ve never done anything for you.

[ Mutters indistinctly ] As for lonely, you don’t know the meaning of the word yet. But you will discover it on cassadine island. Merry christmas.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ] That earring was on the chain you pilfered from me years ago. Hey. Just for that, I’m not giving you your present. You still have that chain, don’t you? Silent night holy night all is calm all is bright round yon virgin mother and child together: Holy infant so tender and mild sleep in heavenly peace sleep in heavenly peace silent night, holy night all is calm, all is bright round yon virgin mother and child holy infant so tender and mild sleep in heavenly peace sleep in heavenly peace sleep in heavenly peace

Young & The Restless Update

Update written by Barbara

Sitting on a bench sipping coffee, Sally listens as Nick tells her how inquisitive Christian has become about Santa Claus. She opens up about her childhood and what it was like growing up with parents who were carnival workers, traveling from small town to small town, sleeping in tents and basically being nomads. She also tells him that her parents eventually abandoned her and her sister, Coco, and they were raised by their “grams.” She mentions that she is named after her great aunt, Sally, who was a legend in the fashion world.

Nick hangs on her every word and is sad for what Sally experienced. She lets him know that she does not feel sorry for herself because her past made her “scrappy”. As snow begins to fall, Nick puts his arm around her and they kiss. After taking another sip of her coffee, Sally has an uncomfortable look on her face and says that the coffee isn’t agreeing with her. When Nick goes to throw away their cups, she puts her hands around her stomach.

Billy brings Johnny over to Chelsea’s apartment so Johnny can exchange Christmas gifts with her. Connor comes out of his bedroom, the boys start to talk video gaming, and Johnny offers to help Connor get to the next level of what they’ve been playing.

Adam shows up because he is going out to dinner with Connor and Chelsea. Connor invites Johnny to join them. Billy is hesitant about letting him go so Chelsea suggests that Billy come along. Billy turns down Chelsea’s invitation, but Johnny says he hopes he can still go since he’s helping Connor master a video game. Billy fine with it and gives permission for Johnny to go out to dinner with Connor, Chelsea and Adam.

While the boys put on their jackets, Adam lets Billy know that he knows his sister well enough to be aware that she will not be on board with letting Johnny spend time with Chelsea.

Turns out Adam is right about Victoria because when Billy tells her that Johnny is going out to dinner with his bio mom, Connor and Adam, she freaks. Billy says he doesn’t see anything harmful about the situation because they agreed to let Johnny take the lead and this is what he wants.

Victoria remains very uneasy, so Billy takes her over to Society, where Johnny is enjoying himself, laughing and having fun with Connor, Chelsea and Adam.

Chelsea invites Billy and Victoria to join them, and Adam pulls up another chair.

At the Abbott house, Daniel stops by with Christmas presents and enjoys spending time with his sister and Kyle. He asks what they’re doing for the holiday season and all they tell him is that that they’re having a Christmas “adventure” with Harrison.

Daniel opens up about the deal he made with Chancellor-Winters to develop up a gaming platform with the company. When asked about Heather and Lucy, Daniel remains mum about what has happened between them.

Back at his suite, Daniel is unable to concentrate with work on his laptop so he opens the mini bar and gets one of the tiny bottles of alcohol and swigs it down. He sits down on the bed and watches the snow fall outside the window, looking sad and lonely. It doesn’t last long, though because there’s a knock on the door. When Daniel opens it, his father, Danny is standing there and they share a warm embrace.

When Kyle, Summer and Harrison arrive at the cabin, Diane is nowhere to be found. She eventually returns, mentioning that she wanted to go for a walk in the snow. Harrison calls out “DiDi” and races over to her excitedly. Diane is in seventh heaven being able to spend the evening decorating the Christmas tree that Harrison picked out. Kyle tells Harrison that putting a star on the top of the tree is a tradition and a special honor. Harrison is enthused so Kyle lifts him up so he can put the star on the top of the tree.

Back at Jeremy’s hotel suite, he expresses his anger toward Jack because he thinks that Jack may have led him on a wild goose chase to find Diane. Jack covers and chalks it up to Diane simply being very good at disappearing.

He starts urging Jeremy to take the cash he is offering him, but Jeremy refuses. This causes Jack to double the offer up to a million dollars and promise to get the remainder to Jeremy the day after Christmas. Jeremy appears to capitulate, telling Jack that he will keep the $500,000 and stay in Genoa City long enough to get the other half. Jack makes a point of mentioning the importance of taking the full million and staying out of prison.

After Jack leaves and Jeremy is alone, he grins slyly , while Jack has a look of discomfort as he walks down the hallway to leave the hotel.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nick: Thanks for meeting me. Sorry I could only fit in coffee today.

Sally: It’s no problem. I know it’s close to christmas and you have a lot of family obligations.

Nick: Yeah, I got a lot going on. I’ll tell you, christian is starting to ask me some pretty tough questions.

Sally: Uh-oh. Like, “what’s in the eggnog?” Or, “how do you make those little popcorn strings for the tree?” Actually, I want to know the answer to the eggnog question.

Nick: Egg yolk, milk, whipped cream, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. And then throw in some alcohol if you want the big-boy version.

Summer: Uh, yum. Why are we not drinking that right now?

Nick: I mean, that does sound good, but that’s not one of the questions christian was asking me.

Sally: [ Sighs ] What did he want to know?

Nick: Started off pretty innocently. Uh, he wanted to know, you know, how could we be sure that santa had christian’s list for everything he wanted.

Sally: Mm.

Nick: Which then led to, “how could santa possibly read all the letters from all the kids from around the world?” And then the tough one — “how could the big guy in the red suit make all those deliveries on christmas eve in one night?”

Sally: Sounds like you endured the santa inquisition.

Nick: Whew, it was tough. I mean, the kid was trying to pin me down.

Sally: What’d you end up telling him?

Nick: I went with, uh, “there’s no easy explanation. It’s just, uh — it’s just that magical.”

Sally: Smooth.

Nick: Yeah. Yeah. I felt good about it.

Sally: Yeah, you seem pretty proud of yourself.

Nick: Yeah. But it’s true. You know, with christmas and in life, sometimes you just got to believe in the magic.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: Hi.

Chelsea: Hey.

Billy: Sorry we’re late.

Chelsea: Oh, don’t be silly. Come on in. Connor, can you come out here, please? Johnny and billy are here. They’ll be out in a minute. He’s playing some video game.

Johnny: Oh, “legendary odyssey”?

Chelsea: Yeah.

Johnny: Yeah.

Chelsea: That’s the one.

Johnny: Mm-hmm.

Chelsea: Well, I’m so glad you guys are here. Thanks for coming over.

Billy: Yeah, of course. Uh, happy to — happy to be here. Happy holidays, of course. Uh, you want to want to share your gifts?

Johnny: Yeah. Um, for connor and for you.

Chelsea: That’s so sweet. You didn’t have to do that.

Johnny: Well, I…

we wanted to, and, uh, dad said you had one for me, so I just figured…

Chelsea: I do. I do. Here you go.

Johnny: Thank you. Merry christmas.

Chelsea: Merry christmas to you, too.

Daniel: Hey! Hey!

Sally: Hey you!

Daniel: Wow! Ahh.

Summer: How long has it been since we’ve spent christmas eve together? So good to see you.

Daniel: Oh, thank you for having me. Wow. Oh, my god. This place looks exactly like i remember it.

Summer: Mm. [ Chuckles ]

Kyle: Merry christmas, daniel.

Daniel: Hey.

Kyle: Hey.

Daniel: Merry christmas to you, too.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ] And a belated welcome back to genoa city. I’m sorry we haven’t had a chance to get together sooner.

Daniel: Oh, I know. Seriously, man. You know, I’ve been home for, what, a couple weeks, and I had to track you down and come to you.

Kyle: Well, I guess your wedding invitation got lost in the mail.

Summer: [ Laughs ]

Daniel: Which one now?

Kyle: Okay, maybe we’ll have another ceremony just for you.

Daniel: Ah.

Kyle: But seriously, man, you were missed.

Daniel: Well, it’s good to be home.

[ Chuckles ]

Kyle: You settling in okay?

Daniel: Yeah. So far, so good.

Summer: Oh, come on. Don’t be so modest. You’re already making waves in the business world.

Daniel: Well, I wouldn’t go that far yet.

Kyle: Well, have a seat.

Daniel: Thank you.

Kyle: Summer tells me you’re working on a big project for chancellor-winters.

Daniel: Ah, it’s true. It’s very true. Um, and I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity.

Kyle: Well, I’d love to hear about it. Another time. We were just about to head out.

Summer: Well, daniel wouldn’t tell you about the project anyway because apparently it is top secret. He won’t even give me a hint.

Daniel: Now that it’s official, it’s not so big of a secret anymore. I’m gonna be heading up a new gaming division at chancellor-winters.

Summer: That’s amazing!

Kyle: Yeah, that’s great news. Congrats, man.

Daniel: Thank you. Thank you.

Summer: Wow.

Daniel: Yeah. Look, I can fill you in on all the details another time, whenever you get back from wherever. Where are you going? What are you doing?

Kyle: It’s, uh… it’s a secret.

Johnny: What level are you on?

Connor: Still stuck on level eight.

Johnny: I just figured out how to get to level nine.

Connor: Cool. Show me.

Johnny: Yeah. [ Chuckles ]

Billy: I mean, that’s pretty adorable.

Chelsea: I know. I love it. I really do.

Adam: [ Exhales sharply ] Oh, you have been a busy elf. This is the very picture of the christmas spirit. Covid-19 moves fast and now you can too

Summer: We are going on a little surprise adventure with harrison tonight.

Kyle: Yeah, maybe we’ll see some reindeer or santa, but we’ll be back in time to spend christmas day with the families.

Daniel: Ah. Sounds good. Bet he’s gonna get a kick out of that.

Kyle: Yeah. Speaking of which, I’m going to go upstairs and check on him and make sure he has everything we need for our little trip.

Summer: Hey. I know how difficult it must be to be away from lucy and heather on the holidays. You’ve been pretty vague about the source of tension between you guys, but do you want to tell me any more about what happened?

Sally: You really are great at the whole dad thing. And your children obviously adore you.

Nick: Eh, it’s not always easy, but my kids are absolutely everything to me.

Summer: It’s faith’s first christmas away from the nest, isn’t it? How are you doing with that?

Nick: Miss her like crazy.

[ Chuckles ] But that’s the thing with parenting — you know, your job, if you do it well, is to send your kids out into the world, you know, help them be independent. And if they do that, success, sadly, is not having them around much.

Sally: Yeah. Yeah, I could see how that could be hard.

Nick: Yeah. I’m happy for faith, you know? Getting to spend the holidays in the swiss alps with her roommate is awesome for her. But it means I don’t get to have her here with me, and I hate that.

Sally: Yeah, it makes perfect sense.

Nick: You got to let them go, you know? And if you get lucky, they come back, you know, for a while. Noah’s proof of that.

Sally: Yeah. I mean, you have one son who runs his own nightclub and another one who keeps pressing you on the logistics of santa’s mission. It’s a — it’s a pretty big age range.

Nick: Yeah. You calling me out for that?

[ Both laugh ]

Sally: No, no, not at all. I-I’m calling you versatile. A man who can pal around with his adult kids, raise his young ones, and knows the recipe for eggnog? Geez, man. Sign me up.

Nick: That’s a good save. I’ll take it. Each of my kids is an incredible gift. You know, being a parent is the best thing I’ll ever do. You know, I have to admit, I’ve never actually seen it up close, a parent who actually loves being a parent.

[ Door closes ]

Billy: Chelsea was kind enough to give johnny a christmas present, so he wanted to reciprocate. And it was a, uh — it was a big step.

Adam: Right. Yeah, I, uh — I get it. I was serious when I said there was a good christmas vibe when i walked in here.

Billy: So, you’re just stopping by?

Chelsea: No. Adam came to pick up connor and me and take us to dinner. It was something we had planned earlier.

Billy: I didn’t know.

Adam: Yeah. But it is really nice the boys are getting along so well. I’m genuinely happy that they’re building a friendship together. So, I don’t want to interrupt that good time. If you guys were in the middle of opening presents, we can always go later.

Billy: No. It’s all good.

Adam: Hey! You ready to, uh, get some dinner?

Connor: Yeah. Can johnny come with us?

Adam: I’m fine with that, if it’s okay with johnny’s dad.

Chelsea: Well, why don’t both johnny and billy join us for dinner?

Billy: I appreciate that, but I’m gonna have to pass tonight.

Chelsea: Okay.

Johnny: But I can go, right?

Nick: What do you mean when you say you’ve never seen a parent who loves being a parent?

Sally: [ Chuckles ] Um… well, I’ve never really told you much about my childhood. So, prepare yourself for a very different kind of holiday story.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Okay.

Sally: [ Clears throat ] ‘Twas the night before christmas, and it was just like any other damn night. Not a creature was stirring. But the carnies were drinking and carrying on.

Nick: You say carnies?

Sally: [ Sighs, chuckles ] Yeah. Yeah. My parents were legit carnival workers.

Nick: Like in a circus?

Sally: Well, a circus definitely would have been a step up. We had more of, like, a county fair vibe. But, uh, yeah, we were nomads traveling from one small town to the next.

Nick: Wow. I can’t even imagine what that was like for you. Did you go to school?

Sally: No. We were more or less left to educate ourselves. But I did actually learn a lot about engineering from watching the tilt-a-whirl be put together and torn apart every time we relocated.

Nick: Did you have friends?

Sally: Um…the tilt-a-whirl guy was — he was actually really cool.

[ Both laugh ] Um, but kids my own age, um… no. My sister coco and I used to sit behind the concession booth, and we would just watch other little girls eating their cotton candy with their doting parents. And, you know, we would just wonder what their lives were like.

Nick: It’s like you lived in your own little world.

Sally: Yeah, exactly. So, you know, when the holidays rolled around… suffice it to say that coco and I were not tucked in our beds with visions of sugarplums dancing in our heads. We were sleeping in tents and shoveling up after horses and elephants ’cause, you know, show business.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Our idea of a christmas miracle was not finding a clown passed out in our bunk.

Nick: Right. Yeah, that sounds, um… interesting and alarming.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. I mean, I have to say it, it had its moments. But, um…

[ Sighs ] Our parents were always getting into trouble. And not the fun kind. And so, yeah, one day it just… caught up with them. And they just took off. To all a good night.

Nick: So, they just abandoned you?

Sally: Um…yeah. Yeah, but, you know, it was — it was a long time ago, and I — I’ve made peace with it. But that is where my rather unique perspective of parenthood comes from.

Nick: I’m sorry you went through that, sally. Every kid deserves parents who sees bringing a child into this world as the miracle that it is.

Johnny: Come on, dad. Please? I’ve been trying to get connor to the next level in “legendary odyssey,” and it takes a ton of explaining.

Billy: Oh, I see how that works. So, it’s gonna take the entire dinner to explain it to him?

Johnny: Exactly.

Chelsea: Ooh, gaming talk at the table — my favorite.

Billy: Yeah, not really in the christmas spirit of things, right? That’s kind of rude.

Johnny: Or I think of it this way. Connor and I will be out of your hair, and you adults can talk about whatever you want.

Connor: It’s a win-win.

Billy: Alright. You can go.

Chelsea: Are you sure?

Billy: Yes I will explain to victoria that connor’s video gaming future depends on it, you know? It’s alright. I’ll talk to her. She’ll be okay.

Chelsea: Alright. Grab your coats, please.

Johnny: Yeah.

Adam: Are you sure victoria’s gonna be okay with this? Because I know my sister, and i find that hard to believe, billy.

Billy: I’ll talk to her. Do me a favor. Can you drop off johnny at my place after?

Adam: Okay.

Chelsea: Thank you both for this. It’s a nice way to kick off the holiday.

Daniel: You know, now is not the time for this conversation. You go have fun with your family. Don’t worry about me. I’m confident that, you know, things with lucy and heather — they’re — they’re gonna work out. And right now, I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. I’m here with the rest of my family. And starting this new project — I mean, that’s gonna change the whole trajectory of my life. So, things are good.

Summer: Well, I’m glad. And, honestly, I am thrilled that you have found this new outlet for your creativity. Launching the chancellor-winters gaming division? That’s a huge deal. And I hope things go just as well in your personal life.

Kyle: Harrison wants to finish his cartoon. Then we can leave.

Daniel: Oh. Well, in that case, uh, have a safe journey and a merry christmas.

Summer: Well, I definitely plan on spending some hardcore quality time with you and mom on christmas day.

Daniel: I’m gonna hold you to that.

Kyle: Hey, merry christmas, man.

Daniel: Merry christmas.

Kyle: [ Sighs ] Is everything okay with daniel?

Summer: Yeah. I think so. Are you ready for a big adventure?

Kyle: Ooh, I sure am. Harrison’s gonna be thrilled. Let’s do this.

Victoria: Hi. Where’s johnny?

Billy: He’s upstairs. And before you jump to conclusions —

Victoria: Please don’t tell me that you left him with chelsea.

Billy: Okay, just hold on a second, okay?

Victoria: You know, billy, I’ve been more than understanding. I went along with you taking johnny to get a gift for chelsea. I even agreed to her giving johnny his present in person.

Billy: Just let me explain for a second. ‘Cause I think you’ll actually be really proud of your son. He gave chelsea her gift, and it meant the world to her. And I could tell that he felt really good doing it. And I didn’t just leave him up there with chelsea. Connor and adam are there, too, and they plan on going to dinner together. Johnny really wanted to join them, so I said yes. They’re getting along so well, I saw no reason to say no.

Victoria: Are you serious right now? Johnny is with chelsea and adam? What were you thinking?

[ Sighs ] This cough.

[Sfx: Coughs]

Billy: Johnny wanted to join them for dinner, and we agreed that we would follow johnny’s lead when it comes to chelsea.

Victoria: Yes, but going to dinner with both chelsea and adam together — that’s a lot.

Billy: If they’re going to a public restaurant, okay, nothing bad is gonna happen.

Victoria: Yes, but that’s not the point. It’s christmas and christmas is supposed to be for family and you just sent johnny off with them.

Billy: I hear you, okay? I know this is difficult for you. And I’m sorry if I overstepped. I should have asked you first. But we need to accept that adam and chelsea and connor — they’re johnny’s family, too.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] I know. And I’m trying to do that, but it’s really difficult for me. You’re johnny’s biological father. Your relationship with him hasn’t changed, but — but mine has.

Billy: I don’t know if that’s entirely true. I mean, johnny’s known almost his entire life that you didn’t give birth to him. And you are still his mom. And even after finding out the truth about chelsea, nothing’s changed. You’re still his mom.

Victoria: Yeah, and so is chelsea, biologically. I’m really worried if they start to get closer that — I worry that the lines will get blurred.

Billy: I don’t know. The way I see it, chelsea is just another part of his big, extended family. And I think he views it the same way.

Victoria: I hope so, billy. But this isn’t the same as him going to dinner with — with nick or the abbotts. I mean, this isn’t just about chelsea. I mean, the tension between adam and my family has really ratcheted up lately. And this is an — it’s an emotionally loaded situation.

Billy: Oh, I agree. But connor and chelsea — they’re part of his world. I get it. He’s up there with adam right now, okay? And I’m not a fan of adam’s, alright? I’m the exact opposite of that. But I have to figure out how to be cordial for everyone’s sake, most importantly, the boys.

Victoria: Yes, but there has to be a happy medium. I mean, you can still be a nice person and not be a pushover. We say no to johnny about other things all the time.

Billy: They’re just gonna go for dinner, okay? And those boys — they’re actually starting to get along really well. After finding out that they’re biological half-brothers, they’re actually closer than they’ve ever been.

Victoria: I know. I don’t have an issue with johnny spending time with connor.

Billy: And as far as chelsea, you have spent some time with her. And I think you would agree that emotionally she’s stronger.

Victoria: Well, that was not my big takeaway from her apology. But I do appreciate that she made the effort.

Billy: And compared to a few months ago, she’s made some pretty amazing strides. And I don’t think anything negative is gonna come from her and johnny spending a little time together, okay? I really believe that. And that’s our son. And this is what he wants. We have to support him.

Victoria: Alright. I hear what you’re saying. But I need to see that for myself.

You okay? You sure you’re ready for this?

Chelsea: How about we take that table right there, hmm?

Connor: Yeah.

Chelsea: [ Exhales sharply ] Connor, napkin. We’re not camping. And put your phone away, please.

Adam: Well, I hope you boys worked up an appetite.

Connor: I’m starving.

Johnny: Yeah, me too.

Chelsea: I love the menu here. Everything is delicious. Except — no cilantro. It’s just not my thing.

Johnny: Yeah. Does it taste like soap to you?

Chelsea: It does.

Johnny: Yeah, me too.

Chelsea: Yeah.

Connor: Same with me.

Kyle: Whew.

[ Both chuckle ]

Summer: I’m glad you got a good nap in. You closed your eyes, and then — poof! — We’re here.

Kyle: Ahh, look at all this snow! It’s a white christmas! Hopefully there’s enough for us to go sledding. Ooh, you want to see your big surprise? Mom?

Harrison: Dee dee!

Kyle: [ Chuckles ] Uh…mom?

[ Door closes ] Hey, mom? She’s not here.

[ Sighs ] Want your clothes to smell freshly

“The young and the restless”

will continue. With directv I can get live tvand on demand together:

Sally: It’s not like I grew up on the streets or anything or without love. I went to live with my grams, who basically raised me.

Nick: What was grams like?

Sally: [ Sighs ] She — [ Chuckles ] She is the most generous and caring woman. She’s a little rough around the edges. But she is strong and fearless, and she gives me unconditional support even when I’m doing something totally nuts.

Nick: I’m glad you have someone in your corner.

Sally: Yeah, me too. And it wasn’t just her. I idolized my great aunt sally, my namesake — and, not to mention, a famous designer. I had these two really strong women who were my teachers and my inspiration.

Nick: Well, it sounds like a much better life than a carnie life.

Sally: Yeah. I mean, the money was tight sometimes, but — I don’t know — I feel like it was kind of a blessing because it taught me to be creative and it turned me into a scrapper.

Nick: Nothing wrong with being a scrapper.

Sally: I always felt safe. You know, there was something really special about growing up in a household that was just 100% female because it never crossed my mind that there was anything that a woman can’t do or that I should wait for some prince to ride in on his white horse and save me when the going got rough. Anyway, I’m — I’M… I’m really happy with the way things turned out.

Nick: I am, too.

Summer: [ Chuckles ] Anyway, enough about my past, as entertaining as it might be.

Nick: It’s pretty entertaining.

Sally: Yeah, yeah, I know.

Nick: [ Laughs ]

Sally: I know. I really want to talk about the whole christmas present thing.

Nick: Ooh. Alright. Let’s get into it. What about it?

Sally: Okay. Just that we have made a big point of taking things slow, so I just really wasn’t sure what’s appropriate, gift wise, you know? I mean, if we’re following our relationship guidelines, it seems like there should be some limitations.

Nick: Yeah, yeah, yeah, if we’re following the, uh, spirit of the agreement.

Sally: Right. There should be severe limitations.

Nick: Yes. Are you giving me a hint that this is something that I should not go overboard on, like, with a gift?

Sally: I just want to make sure that you don’t do anything that’s over the top. ‘Cause you know how people say — they do the thing where it’s like, “oh, yeah, no expensive gifts,” and then one person doesn’t follow the rules and… I just — you know, you didn’t — you didn’t do that, right?

Nick: No, I wouldn’t do that to you.

Sally: Okay. Good.

Nick: We’re not talking about this because that’s what you did for me, right?

Sally: No, no, no. I mean, you know, I — no. I just want to make sure we’re in sync.

Nick: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel real good about my gift choice for you.

Sally: Oh. Good. Me too. You’re really gonna love your coffee mug. It’s got a really funny quote on it. I would tell you what it says, but I don’t want to ruin the surprise, you know?

Nick: Yeah. Okay. Well, I know you’re just gonna love your book of sudoku. I mean, it’s hours of entertainment.

Sally: Ooh. It’s snowing.

Nick: Wow.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: Seems like, uh, perfect timing.

Sally: Yeah. Except for I totally forgot to put on my snow tires.

Nick: Ah, that’s a minor obstacle. We’ll just catch a ride with santa. I’m choosing to believe in the magical.

Summer: I know how difficult it must be to be away from lucy and heather on the holidays. You’ve been pretty vague about the source of tension between you guys, but do you want to tell me any more about what happened?

Kyle: Um, there was just a little mix-up, but we’re gonna get it worked out.

Summer: Yeah. How about we have a juice box in the meantime?

Kyle: Yeah. I’m gonna reach out to my dad.

[ Door opens ]

Harrison: Dee dee!

Diane: Hi! You’re here! Ah!

Kyle: We were a little worried when we didn’t see you.

Diane: Oh, I’m sorry. Hey! I took a walk, and the snow is so beautiful. I had to stop and take it in. And then I saw your car, and i just rushed right back.

Summer: We thought we would go on a christmas eve adventure.

Diane: Ah. This is the best surprise. Merry christmas.

Kyle: Aww, merry christmas.

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

[ Lock whirs, disengages ]

Jack: I honestly thought that’s where diane would go to hide out.

Jeremy: You said you knew where she was.

Jack: I said I knew her. Obviously, that wasn’t the case. This woman faked her death and was gone for years. I only knew she was alive when she told me. Look, she’s obviously developed some disappearing skills.

Jeremy: Look, I admit she is a clever woman, but is she more clever than the both of us?

Jack: You tell me. I’m as lost in this as you are.

Jeremy: Look, I’m not so sure about that. I would hate to think that you led me on a wild goose chase. If you think all pads are exactly the same…

Jack: It is not my fault that diane is good at covering her tracks. You’re the one that made her flee. Look, as I’ve made abundantly clear, I just want this to end. This woman comes back to town and says she’s changed her life, that she’s lived this modest life in L.A., Transforming herself, making all these changes. None of it was true. It was lie after lie.

Jeremy: I suppose we’ve all been subjected to her lies.

Jack: Okay, I just want my life back. She drew you to town. You obviously want revenge and you want money. Diane convinced the whole world she was dead for years. Good luck finding her. I already said that I would cover her debts.

Jeremy: No, thanks.

Jack: What if I doubled my offer? $1,000,000 to forget diane and move on. Half the money’s in the briefcase there. I can get you the other half day after christmas. It’s a heck of a lot more than you’re gonna get directly from diane, if you ever manage to track her down. You just got out of prison. You can do anything you want. Why waste any more of your time on diane?

Kyle: Okay. Alright.

Diane: Alright.

Kyle: You ready?

Summer: [ Laughs ]

Kyle: Let’s watch. One, two, three.

Diane: Ah! It’s fantastic!

Summer: Oh, it really is. How did you guys find such a perfect tree?

Kyle: Well, harrison picked it out. He knew it was the right one. Kid’s got a good eye.

Summer: All we have to do is decorate it, and I think that we have some ornaments in the kitchen, so why don’t you come with me and we’ll go get them?

Kyle: [ Laughs ]

Diane: Is everything okay back home?

Kyle: I’ll work it out. Okay.

Diane: Ah, this is the most special christmas ever.

Kyle: [ Laughs ]

Diane: Hey, can I help you decorate?

Kyle: Ooh.

Diane: Here. Let me see. Wow. Hey, harrison, you want to put this one on? I guess you’ve got some other ones.

Harrison: No, I want to do the reindeer holding —

Diane: Okay. Do him. Alright. You want me to hold the mushroom while you do the reindeer?

Harrison: No, no, no, he holds the mushroom.

Diane: Oh, okay. Well, let’s put it on here.

Harrison: Look at what — no, he’s holding a marshmallow, too.

[ Laughter ]

Billy: I’m telling you, there’s nothing to be upset about.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Chelsea: That’s funny.

[ Laughter ]

Adam: It’s funny, isn’t it?

Chelsea: I think — it is. That is very funny, actually.

Billy: See? It’s all good.

I’ll remember that chapter

of my life forever.

Kyle: Well, this isn’t exactly how I thought I’d be spending christmas, but each year is always a little different. I’ve loved every one of them. The holidays you and I spent together when I was little, just the two of us. And all the times I went to the big annual abbott celebration.

Diane: Ah.

Kyle: You know, my dad is always a rock for our family whenever he brings everyone together. It’s impossible not to feel the love and warmth.

Diane: Aww.

Summer: I’ve always felt that, too, at your house whenever I’ve spent the holidays there. I mean, don’t get me wrong. I love christmas at the ranch, too. The newmans know how to do christmas very well.

Kyle: I’ll give you that.

[ Chuckles ]

Summer: You know, we are so lucky to have such special families who love us so much.

Kyle: Mm. Couldn’t agree more.

Diane: I may have a complicated relationship with some of the people in both of your families, but, um, I’m working on it, and I’m not going to stop until things are better. You know, when I spent all those christmases alone in L.A., I never imagined that a moment like this would be possible.

Kyle: Putting the star on top of the tree is a christmas tradition and a special honor. You want to do it, harrison? Yeah? Okay.

[ Laughter ] Okay. Here’s the star.

Summer: Ooh.

Kyle: Whoa.

Diane: Okay. Ah!

Kyle: Yeah!

Diane: Perfect! Ah!

Harrison: I didn’t put the star on.

Summer: [ Laughs ]

Diane: The tree is stunning. My grandson is stunning. I’m with my son and his beautiful wife. This might not be the most traditional christmas, but it’s the most wonderful one I could imagine. It’s everything I’ve dreamed about for so long. Ah.

Harrison: I made a hat.

Diane: You did.

[ Laughter ]

Jack: So, what do you say? We have a deal?

Jeremy: Alright. You talked me into it. I’ll keep this cash and stick around long enough until you get the rest.

Jack: I’m glad you’re listening to reason.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] What can I say? You made me an offer that’s hard to refuse.

Jack: I will have the other half the day after christmas.

Jeremy: And I’ll be out of your lives. Consider it an early christmas present, one that you clearly want.

Jack: Just as you want to stay out of prison. And I’m sure you’re smart enough not to jeopardize that.

Nick: I’m glad we had this talk.

Sally: Yeah, spending time with you is always good.

Sally: Ohh.

[ Clears throat ]

Nick: You okay? What’s wrong?

Summer: Uh, I’m not sure. But, um, no more — no more coffee for me. It’s definitely not agreeing with me.

Nick: Okay. Do you want to get out of here?

Summer: Uh, yeah. Yeah, I think so.

Nick: I’ll throw these away.

Sally: Okay.

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Clears throat ]

Billy: Hey, boys. How are you doing?

Johnny: Good. How are you?

Victoria: Hi. Are you guys having fun?

Billy: So, what’d you eat?

Johnny: Uh, chicken quesadillas.

Billy: Ahh. That’s good. And how’s the video game conference going? Have you figured out how to crack level eight yet?

Connor: We’re working on it.

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Johnny: Yeah, I’m giving him tips.

Billy: I’m sure you are.

Chelsea: Are you hungry? Why don’t you sit down and join us?

Adam: Yeah. Let me pull up an extra chair.

Victoria: Oh, thank you.

Billy: Check it out. It’s actually starting to snow out there finally.

Victoria: Oh, wow.

Billy: It’s starting to feel like christmas.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Cellphone thuds ] Dad.

Danny: Merry christmas, son.

[ Laughs ]

Daniel: Hey.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

See all that butter. That’s what makes it taste good. And the powdered sugar makes ’em pretty. Yeah, just like snowballs, right? See what’s perfect for this time of year. We always make these for Christmas. So why are they called Mexican wedding cookies? Well, that is a great question. I actually, I really don’t know, but in Mexico they’re called means power.

Ho, ho, ho. Merry Christmas, Santa. You’re not Santa.

That is terrific, James. Thank you. Really appreciate. I know you had to pull some serious strings to get this done, . I will. All right. Hey, take care and thanks again.

Ah, miss Shin, look, please call me one day. Okay. Wendy, what are you doing here?

Chloe last minute shopping, what gave it away? Well, we are meeting Brady for lunch. You should be here in the unit. Okay, well, I’m gonna hit up some more stores. My budget’s so much bigger this year after that huge promotion I got. When you were fired, didn’t you get me a present? Present? Oh, Rachel, it’s fine.

I don’t want anything from you. Okay. Uh, well, I hope you have a merry. I will, cuz I don’t need to see you. I’ll be with my real family.

Did you just say that we need to kidnap my daughter? That’s right. All right. Eric, I know you’ve been through a lot the last couple weeks, but you, what you are suggesting is, uh, insane Now. What’s insane is that Kristen’s got my mother’s life in her hands, along with Kayla and Kate Eric believe. I wanna put an end to this blackmailing thing as much as you do.

And like I said, that we need to hear Chris where she lives. Rachel’s the key

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

Kristen has two weaknesses. You and your daughter. I say we attack her there. We’ve gotta beat her at own game. Listen a game, Eric. Okay. Kristen has the serum that Marlena and Kate and Kayla need to survive. Not to mention the orchid required to make it, it’s the only one that exists that’s on the planet.

She’s holding over your head. Who’s to say she’s not gonna her in? She’s already forced you to move her in here. Who’s to say she’s not gonna ask you to sleep with her or even marry her? She said that the women will need additional doses in a couple months, maybe even a booster. Okay, but then I’m done.

All right. I’m free of the insanity at the hell you are. I guarantee she’s gonna claim that these women need booster shots for the rest of their lives. She has too much power. She needs to be. Brady, we have to do something. We need to do something now,

sweetheart. That wasn’t very nice. We need to be kind to everyone, especially on Christmas. Even people who tried to steal what belongs to us. Sorry. It’s okay, honey. It is. Because Rachel, Brady and I are family again. That’s what I wanted most for Christmas. Well wishes do come true, sweetheart. But mommy.

Mm-hmm. . When will I get my whole wish? We’ll talk about that later, honey. But you and daddy still aren’t married. You don’t even sleep in the same room.

I. Uh, I came to see John. No, I, I heard what happened at his grandmother’s memorial service yesterday, and I wanted to see if he’s okay. My nephew hasn’t yet come down from his room. I’m assuming he’s still asleep. Well, he must be exhausted after everything he’s been through.

Well, if you could just tell him I stopped by. Sure. But before you go, Wendy, I’ve left you several messages and haven’t heard back from you. Are you avoiding me? Of course not. Just I’m super busy. Oh, I get it. Yeah. Can you have a moment to talk now? Talk about what? Your little jaun to Jakarta.

Oh, you’re right. I’m not, I’m his helper.

You’re Lee. Should I say Mr. Shit, Peter, yet I could call you lame. Ariana Grace. Sorry mom. But I’ve been down this road before. One of your boyfriends putting on a show to try to get me to like it was Chad. Stephanie, you’re being very rude. Pro tip. I’m too old to believe in Santa.

Too old, huh? I didn’t realize because, well, I’m a lot older than you and I’m still a believer, but since you’re not, I guess I should send all these presents back to the North Pole.

Ho, ho, ho.

What’s wrong? Nothing really. It’s fine. You don’t look fine. Talk to me.

It’s just that it’s the time of the year that Philip, you remember we had to send Philip away to get to healthy meat? Yes. I just thought that he would’ve progressed. You know, I thought that maybe he would be released soon, but when I called the hospital, they, they wouldn’t even let me talk to him. Why not?

He’s had another major setback, and then the prison at the prison is a viral outbreak, so Lucas can’t have any visitors. I don’t. It’s bad enough that, you know, my kids aren’t with me at at Christmas, but to be cut off from the ones that need me the most from, and it’s just particularly intolerable. Okay.

What can I do? Anything? Just naming, thank you my love. But you know, at this point in life, what matters most about Christmas is being with your family. I should have realized when Will called me to tell me that he was staying in California. There was a sign of things to come. Hey, will may not be here, but Ally is.

I’m gonna give her a call, see if she can bring Henry back. No, no, no. Don’t do that. No. She’s busy with Chanel and Paulina. Hey, all the charges against him have been and dropped. I’m sure she would love to see you, honey. It’s okay. I just miss my family. That’s all. At the end. Oh my God. . Oh my God.

What surprise. I thought that you had to stay in Chicago though, that you were on call talk. No, I, I convinced my supervisor I had more important work to do. . The FDA has asked me to provide some follow up data on the experimental treatment we gave mom a few months ago. They just need to know that it’s safe.

Well, of course it’s safe. It’s saved my life. Oh, what kind of data are they looking for? Just civil blood work. Okay. We don’t have to worry about your mom’s health. She’s feeling perfect. Like, no, no, it, it’s just a, a formality cross. The ts dot the iss. In fact, I have everything I need right here in my bag, so we can just knock this out right here, right now.

Well, what if I refuse?

Oh, look, sweetheart, it’s nor a Jane and her mommy at the chocolate stand. Why don’t you go join them and get yourself work? There you go.

I’m getting extra whipped cream. All right,

So you and Brady are back together, but you’re not sleeping in the same room? No, we’re just taking things slowly. In other words, he won’t touch you with a 10 foot pole. No, Chloe, that is not true. We are becoming more intimate every day. Hmm. That’s not the impression I got from Rachel. Well, Rachel wasn’t there when Brady planted a hot kiss on Sister Mary Moira because he thought she was me in disguise.

Really? Mm-hmm. . And if you don’t believe me, you can ask the sister yourself. I’m sure she would love to tell you how she beat Bad, bad Brady with a ruler . So what you’re saying is the nuns saw more action than you ever will. What I am saying is that Brady is letting his God down. He wants me. How much is clear?

Whatever you say, Kristen. You know, I asked him what would happen next if it was me. He was kissing and he leaned into me, and the heat between us was off the chart. And we would’ve made love right there on that couch if John hadn’t walked in and ruined everything. But there will be another moment soon.

See, I plan to ring in the new year and Brady’s

everything you’re saying makes perfect sense except for one. What’s that? The part where I kidnap my own daughter? No, no. I’m not gonna do it. I’m not, I’m not gonna put Rachel through that kind of trauma. She’ll never know. She’ll never know. What are you, are you suggesting that we drug her? No, of course not.

Because we’re gonna make her believe that she’s going on a fun vacation with Uncle Eric. So she’ll, she’ll, she’ll enjoy her abduction. No, she’s gonna get a few days in the sun. Why? Kristen is losing her mind. And you’re gonna get that orchid and your daughter will be home. We save lives. Merry Christmas to all,

uh, Jakarta. Didn’t we already talk about that the other day? You and Johnny and I? We did, but we need to have our. Own separate conversation because unlike my nephew, you work for Damara. Now I understand that it was Johnny’s idea to commandeer the company jet and whisk you off on that romantic getaway, but you agreeing to it was egregiously irresponsible of you.

I am so sorry I, I know what I did was wrong and I. Terrible about it.

I don’t know if you thought your brother signing off on the expenses, made you think that I wouldn’t find out how deceptive you’ve been, but Wendy, Wendy, look at me. I remember what it’s like to be young and in love. It’s great for for you to put your career on the line. Put your professional standing at risk.

I, I, I can’t understand it. Unless, unless what? Unless there’s another reason you were in Jakarta that you’d care to share.

It’s so pretty. That’s. means double luck. And I’m lucky because when I marry your mom, I won’t have only one beautiful, smart, incredibly fashionable lady in my life. I’ll have two and I’ll have three daddies. How do you feel about that special, I guess, I mean, how many kids can say that You are so special my love, and you might be double lucky, but I am the luckiest person in the whole wide world.

Thank you. My gift.

You are so welcome

you guys. This is gonna be the best Christmas ever.

Can I wear it to the wedding? Of course, I was hoping you would,

if this will really give me luck. I wanna wear it every day. New Year’s weddings are also considered lucky in. So we are off to a very auspicious start. Suspicious. No baby auspicious. It means, um, likely to succeed or pointing to happiness. Double happiness. Mommy, when you get married, are you gonna change your last name?

Daddy Will and Daddy Sonny did it. Oh well, uh, I’m not. I, uh, I need to think about it. But speaking of Daddy Sammy, you know he’s gonna be here any minute to pick you up. Are you all packed? I just need to make sure that my new bracelet matches with all my outfits.

Someone knows the way to a Hernandez woman’s heart. Well, I hope this Hernandez woman knows that I don’t expect her to take my.

You know, I, I became a demir when I married Steph, and, and I stayed when, even when I thought he was fed. But of course that worked because I was the head of the company and now I’m not. And Stephanie and I are divorced and we hate each other’s guts. I can’t wait to feel like my very own person again. I think you’ve always been your own person.

Gabriela Hernandez Shin. How does that sound? Perfect.

What else would I have been doing in Kar? You tell me, Wendy. Hey, uh, what, uh, what, what are you doing here? I, I was worried about you after yesterday, the explosion at the church. Oh, yeah. Uh, Tom, I’m, I’m fine and I’m sorry I didn’t call you, and I’m sorry that my uncle here is giving you the third degree about our trip to Jakarta.

Look, I was being impulsive. Okay. I, I asked Wendy to reserve the jet because I wanted to impress. And did it impress her? Yeah. I mean, I wouldn’t be impressed. And, and now that, uh, my stellar first impression has been made, I can promise you that it, it won’t be happening again.

See that it doesn’t

you, you don’t want me to draw your blood pull. I mean, I haven’t had any setbacks. I haven’t had any side effects. I mean, no issues whatsoever. So this is exactly why I need your blood, so I can prove that this treatment is 100% safe and effective. Plus, it’ll get the FDA off my back and I get to keep my medical right.

I’ll do it. I do it. I damn will better get a lollipop.

Wow, Kristen, that sounds like an awful lot of wishful thinking to me. Hmm. When does a bird brain like you know about thinking, Hmm. I know that when it comes to Brady, you are completely diluted. Ah. Why do you care so much about Man Brady? I mean, you moved on from him in about two seconds. I hear it’s getting really serious with my little brother jetting off to Miami for the new.

Who told you that doesn’t matter. But if all goes well, maybe this time next year, you’ll be my sister-in-law. Woo-hoo. What a hoot. you and s, Stephan, me and Brady all sitting at the holiday table together. My money says that this time next year you’ll be back in prison for the countless felonies that you are bound.

You know what, Chloe? I’ve changed and Brady knows that. So you’re dumping you from me. It’s like trading in an all clunker for a brand new sports car. I make him incredibly happy. Well, if Brady’s so happy with you, then why he stand you up for lunch? He’s running late. Ah, just keep telling yourself that.

And while you’re at it, you should keep an eye on your kid. She’s wandering off, but given who her mother is, I can’t say I blame her. What I said to Rachel about being nice on Christmas. I take it back. Hmm. And for what it’s worth, I would rather die than sit across a holiday table from you. Hmm. Duly noted.

Sorry, bro. I am not kidnapping my daughter on Christmas. Fine. We’re gonna do it afterwards. No, you’re not hearing me. Okay. It’s not happening ever. And why you let Kristen continue to torture you? My mom, Kayla and Kate relapse and possibly die. She said that she would supply the additional doses and if she doesn’t, how long are you gonna rely on Psycho to do the right thing?

Or do you wanna finally take control of your life again for all of us? Who knew you could be So Ruth. And I would’ve been the good guy for years. Where’s the God in me? Absolutely nowhere. Come on, man. I wouldn’t say that. Well, I would. I’m tired of being the victim and a doormat. Kristin Amir. She raped and drugged me.

All right. I feel absolutely no obligation to have any mercy on her, so we need to play hardball you and her out.

Thank you for being so amazing with Ariana. Oh, my father isn’t exactly the warm and fuzzy type. I promise that I’d be different with my children.

Yeah. You know, we haven’t really discussed that. Whether or not you. Kids of your own. I’m, you know, I, cuz I can’t, Gabby, you will and Sonny are raising an amazing child. Being part of that, being our stepdad. That’s all I need. The cookies smells so good. Well, first two batches already. Um, your mom made these and I made these.

Can I test them? See which ones I like better. . Wait an Eggo, two cookies, girl. Yeah.

Well, the winner is,

oh my gosh.

Hmm. Do you think s Stephan’s suspicious about what we were doing in Jakarta? He’s definitely not happy we went. Honestly, I could hardly focus on a word he was saying because I felt so guilty about keeping the secret from him. Yeah. I’m right there with you. I wanted to blurt out. Ralph. Fran washed you into thinking who he.

Gabby don’t you love her? Honestly, telling your uncle that could change his whole life. Yeah. And ruin my fathers and your brothers. He is marrying Gabby next week, and part of me is excited, you know, because Lee is so excited. I can’t stop thinking about how none of this would be happening if Stefan remembered how he really feels about Gabby.

Hey, I’m just coming to see you. Hey. Anything in there for me? Nope. Oh, you had a vaccine? Uh, I was, but um, I got a little delayed by her sister. Oh no. What’d she say? Nevermind. I don’t, I don’t really wanna waste another minute talking about Kristen. Kristen place, God with people’s lives. It’s wrong kidnapping.

Isn’t Rachel’s your daughter? I only do this if you signed off on it, but if you don’t want it,

are we interrupting?

So since when is 10 vials, a little bit of love. You did great, mom. Sorry. I don’t really mean to complain. You know that I’m grateful, right? Say here. Well, I’m grateful that you’re doing so well. I am gonna run these to the hospital and I will be back as soon as possible. I am so happy you’re here, honey. Me too.

Me too. I love you both so much. Love you. Love you too. Bye.

Okay. Did you know that he was coming home? I have no idea. Oh my God, I couldn’t be more happy. . Well, ma always said that family love grows warmer at Christmas. I know I said that it was specific family, but of course you know that we have the family. We were born. The family we choose. Right? And I’m so happy that we chose to be with each other again after all these years.

I’m into that. Although when I proposed you, uh, said no at first because I was on my death bed. Yeah. Convinced there was no cure. But I told you I would never give up no matter what. You would be my wife. Yeah. I thought that was only gonna last a day. Yeah. And now we are in it for the long haul. We most certainly are.

Yes. We’re

okay. Now that Ariana’s off, I can start wrapping presents. Don. I get a reward for winning the best cookie contest. What? The sheer satisfaction of beating me is not enough. Hmm. I think I could be. a bit more satisfied.

oh, hold on. It’s, it might be the seamstress. Let me just, hi Gracik. Hi. Are you done with Ariana Stress? What the hell? No, no, no. Do not do anything. No, I, no. I’ll be right there. Excuse me. I told her

You go, what’s this? Your Christmas present since you’ll be in New York tomorrow. Oh, well, I thought that we would wait and exchange gifts in Miami. Yes, but this one’s a little. Time sensitive. Okay.

Oh my goodness. Are you kidding me? Center orchestra seats to a mall and the night visitors stuff. And how did you get these? It’s been sold out for months. Let’s call it a little bit of, uh, Christmas magic. This is such a wonderful, thoughtful gift. Thank you. There are five tickets here. Yeah. You, Nancy, joy Parker.

And one extra could be Mike. Nancy wants to take a date or Craig, or if they have plans, take me. Don’t you have plans in Salem, uh, with the dysfunctional Dems? Huh? Well, they are your family. Well, I was thinking we could spend Christmas in New York with your family and then fly down to Miami. Ah, but this is your first Christmas since, uh, since coming back from the day.

Yeah. I just,

being in that. Those people after everything that happened yesterday at Susan’s memorial service, I might be a little too much,

but hey, if you don’t want me tagging along, you just say the word. No. Eric and I, we were just, uh, discussing our holiday plans. Hey, kiddo. Merry almost Christmas. You’ll never guess what I put under the tree for you. Hmm. Am I in my dream house better? Hmm. A puppy ? No. You’ll never guess. See if you can read my mind.

Hmm.

You were supposed to meet us for lunch today. I got talking to Eric and, uh, lost track of time. You could have texted me. Yeah, well, we had a unpleasant interaction with Chloe, so we decided to come home. Oh, I see. Mm-hmm. . Oh, did you know that she and Stephan are going to Miami for New Year’s? No. No, I didn’t know that.

But thank you so much for sharing that. Appreciate it.

Johnny will you try to rationalize this all we want, but deep down, we know what happened. What is happening is wrong yet, but we agreed to keep quiet because I don’t wanna hurt my dad, and you don’t wanna hurt your brother. I’m still sick over what they did. Lee ordering Rolf to brainwash Stephan so he could have Gabby for himself.

Your dad not telling Stefan he’d been brainwashed so he could get back on top of Demira. I know. Okay. It’s a big secret. Now we’re lying saying we went to Jakarta because we’re romantically involved. I mean, of course my brother and your dad know the. Everyone else thinks for dating

now. I guess there’s no reason to pretend any longer, you know, maybe we could just, I don’t know. Fake break up.

So you don’t mind dealing with my crazy family? Not at all. It’ll be a. Well, if you really feel that way, then I would love for you to come to New York with me. Thank you, Chloe. I am excited. Wow. It’ll be great to see Parker again, huh? Oh my goodness. You won’t even recognize him. He’s grown like a foot since last time you saw him.

He’s still a big banana mate fan. Huge. Then I got the right kid. Ah, you didn’t have to do that. It’s my pleasure. What was very thoughtful of you? Thank you.

Oh, no, I just realized that I shipped all of um, Rex gifts to Chicago. Seeing you healthy as the only gift he needs. Absolutely not everyone needs a present to open on Christmas, and then there are some special people who open one the day before. Go ahead. You have others, but this is the big one,

huh? Carrie?

A trip to Zurich? Yes. To see Austin and Carrie Anella.

Oh no, I thought that, I thought that you’d be happy, Katie. I love it. Matter of fact, I love it so much. I got you the exact same thing.

Oh my God. It’s a missile tongue. I made it at school for mommy and daddy. Ah. If they stand under it, they have to kiss. Right? Well, you know, you only have to kiss if it’s a real missile. Nobody told me that. Now I have to go find a real missile.

You trained her well. Oh wow. You know what? It’s only natural for a child to want her parents to be together. I haven’t done anything to encourage it. I don’t believe that for a second. You know what, Eric? Don’t you have enough to deal with in your own love life without budding into ours? Don’t have a love life.

Oh, but Brady, we’re getting closer every day, becoming a family again. And I know family means everything to you. You’d never wanna do anything to let them down. Right?

Fake breakup. Meaning we pretend we don’t like each other anymore. Yeah. You know, I’d probably have to stage a couple fights. Make it believable. What? Like in front of Allie and Chanel? Yeah, it’s Stephan, Gabby. I don’t wanna do that. I think it would be easier to just keep doing what we’re doing. Al what? Uh, fake dating.

I guess I, yeah, yeah. I, I, I think so. Plus if we, uh, you know, if we fake broke up, what would I do with this? You didn’t have to get me anything. I wanted to. I felt bad. I didn’t get anything. I didn’t expect you to. I just, uh, I was, was walking by Saxton. The other day, and I saw this reminded me of you, you most of, uh, what I told my uncle Stephan about us and Jakarta was made up.

But it is true. I am a little impulsive at times. And, um, maybe I did wanna impress you just a little.

That’s beautiful.

Help you.

Hmm. Hello Gabby. Excuse me. We have a wedding Atti emergency to deal with. Oh yeah. Next time we see you, you’ll be husband and wife. The wedding isn’t until next week. Yes, well, Chloe and I are flying to New York tonight and afterwards to Miami to ring in the new year, so it’s too bad you won’t be there when Lee and I become men and white, but I’m sure there’s gonna be plenty of pictures online, so you can click through there and see what you.

Well, congratulations to you both, Stephanie and I wish you the best. Yes. So

well, what can I say? Great minds. I mean, at least it isn’t a gift of the Magi kind of situation. Pardon? Well, you, Neil Henry’s story where the husband sells his watch to buy his wife a comb. She cut her hair and Right. Right. See our guests didn’t cancel each other out, shows how much we love each other, right?

So we’ll take two trips to Switzerland. One to go ski and one to, I don’t know, swim in Lake Buser. And what do you think I did right The way you think?

No, please don’t stop. Mike Cow . Okay, so clean Bill of Health, right? It’s the holidays. We’re not gonna have the results for a few. Oh, that’s great. So just worry all the way through Christmas. No, this is not at all. I’m, I’m sure everything’s fine. Listen to our son, the brilliant doctor now who is ready for Agna.

Oh, . That’s good. Little early for that I think. Well, it’s never too early. You’re start enjoying time with family and this family’s got a lot to celebrate. So I say we start right here. Well, okay.

You know that I would never let my family down, and that loyalty is so critically important more than they’ll ever know. Well, I’m gonna go check in on Rachel. Excuse me.

You want to tell me she’s not gonna put the screws to you until she hands over the orchid. That’s if she.

She’s gonna have us under her thumb, you and all of us forever until we do something about it.

Okay? I hate to admit it, but Rachel is the best leverage that I got, so I gotta use it. You had promised me to say, I promise you Rachel is going to be safe the entire time. I give you my word. Remember, this is gonna be the best thing for her. Two.

Okay. Let’s do.

Finn: Something wrong?

Steffy: I’m just, uh, looking for the mistletoe.

Finn: Hmm. Well, I don’t need mistletoe to kiss my super hot wife. Ah, you did an amazing job with the decorations.

Steffy: Thanks. You don’t think it’s a tiny bit too much?

Finn: Well, the kids like it, right?

Steffy: Oh, absolutely.

Finn: Well, then that’s all that matters.

Steffy: It was so cute watching kelly help her little brother put the ornaments on the tree. I mean, it was adorable.

Finn: Yeah, it’s, um, hard not to get caught up in the holiday spirit with the kids around.

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, that would be even truer if the fear of sheila wasn’t hanging over us.

Eric: Yes… well…

Ridge: Dad? Hey! You wanted to see me?

Eric: Yes. It’s important, sit down.

Ridge: No, no. I remember making this for you and mom. It must have been, what, third grade, maybe.

Eric: I’m sure. Yeah. And it’s, uh, it’s hung on the christmas tree every year ever since. Along with all these other ones from your– your brother and your sisters and… the grandkids, the great grandkids. Jeez, look at these.

Ridge: Well, tradition is important, right? Especially this time of year.

Eric: Yes, it is. Look, ridge, um… I’m worried about you.

Ridge: Worried about me? Why?

Eric: I don’t want you to feel alone or untethered this holiday season.

Katie: I–I know I shouldn’t have put off my appointment. I– I should have come in months ago. And that’s not good. And… you haven’t said anything, which also can’t be good.

Carter: Maybe that’s because you haven’t let the doctor get a word in. That–that’s why, right.

Katie: Oh, yeah. I’m so– sorry. Um… so, doctor, what are my results?

Finn: Baby, we are all concerned about sheila. And knowing that she got away from the police yet again is beyond frustrating. But she will be caught.

Steffy: I keep telling myself that. How one day sheila will be behind bars for the rest of her miserable life. But until then, I am gonna be freaked out.

Finn: Until then, until then we’ll stay vigilant. Look, I don’t want you worrying. Okay? Definitely not during the holidays, when the kids are so excited. Our family has never meant more to us. I will always be here to protect you and our kids.

Steffy: Oh.

Finn: Okay?

Ridge: I don’t like that you’re worried about me.

Eric: I’m your father. I’ll always worry about you.

Ridge: Okay, but at this point in my life, I– I should have my act together, I think.

Eric: Well, if you’re referring to your personal life, yes, um, I would agree with that. Although when it comes to my track record, I really can’t be a judge, can I?

Ridge: See, that’s why I took some time off. To try to figure out why I did what I did, the choices I made, and maybe try to figure out what’s next, you know?

Eric: Yeah. So, what happened? And you and brooke and taylor in the same room at the same time. What happened?

Katie: Well, I have to admit, I put these appointments off because I always go to the worst case scenario. And I know that… you know, I have to face my own mortality and I’m living on borrowed time as a transplant survivor. So, yeah, yeah, I don’t I don’t like coming to these appointments because i don’t like feeling that way.

Grace: Your results from your latest test. They’re all very positive.

[Katie sighing]

Grace: As you know, heart transplant rejection can happen at any point. It could be days. It could be weeks. It could be months. Years after the surgery. Even with the immunosuppressant drugs your on. But I’m happy to say there are no indications of rejection whatsoever. You have a very healthy heart. You’re doing well, katie.

Katie: Oh.

Katie: I really am okay?

Grace: Yes. You’re really okay. And I’d go as far to say that you’re a walking miracle.

Carter: This is amazing, katie.

Grace: I’m so happy you have a wonderful support system, katie.

Katie: Me too.

Grace: So, go. Live your best life.

[Phone buzzing] I have another consult. I’m sorry. You’ll both have to excuse me.

Katie: Oh, yes, of course. Thank you.

Grace: Take your time.

Katie: Thank you so much.

Carter: So?

Katie: So.

Carter: So, it doesn’t get better than this, right? Clean bill of health for the holidays.

Katie: Yeah. Oh, man, I can’t even tell you how stressed out I’ve been about this appointment.

Carter: Well, it’s not like you let anyone on.

Katie: Well, you know, I didn’t want to worry anyone. You, you know, but I do have to admit that when I saw you walk through the door. I knew that you would be here for me. I just can’t thank you enough, carter.

Eric: So they dumped you? Wait, brooke and taylor dumped you?

Ridge: Yeah, why don’t you say it one more time? I didn’t expect that either. Look, can I say something?

Eric: Sure. Go ahead.

Ridge: Seeing these two amazing women standing there so strong and so convinced in what they were doing. I–I… was really proud of them.

Eric: This is going to be a big shift in your life, isn’t it?

Ridge: Yeah, and that– that word you said, untethered. That’s– that’s how I feel right now,

Eric: Uh-huh. I can only imagine. Especially now with the, uh… with the holidays upon us.

Ridge: I’m going to be okay.

Eric: I think you will be. You have me. You have your old man. You got your family. You’ve got this house. This is your home, too. We’ll all be here. I want you to make A… I want you to make an appearance on christmas.

Charlie: Ho, ho, ho!

Pam: Hey, we’re back from the north pole with all the fixings

Eric: Did you, uh, you buy out the whole store? Look at you.

Pam: Well, of course we did. It’s the annual forester christmas bash. Got to go all out. We sure hope that you’re going to be joining us, ridge.

Charlie: Yeah, uh, you know, pammy and I heard about brooke and taylor.

Pam: Heck, the whole office heard, ridge, which is why you need your family more than ever right now.

Eric: Pam’s right. I want you to make an appearance here at christmas.

Finn: Hey, we should go see the decorations downtown this weekend. We’ll get you on some ice skates.

Kelly: Yeah! Mom, too?

Steffy: Uh, yeah! Who do you think think’s going to teach you?

Finn: Anyway, hey. Won’t be long. Santa is going to visit.

Kelly: I know. Hayes is so excited. I think he wants to see rudolph.

Finn: Uh, well, yeah, everyone wants to see rudolph with that nose so bright thing he’s got going on.

Kelly: Douglas says rudolph’s nose is red ’cause it’s cold at the north pole.

Steffy: Yeah, I think douglas is right.

Kelly: Then why aren’t the other reindeer’s noses red too?

Steffy: Uh, you want to take this one, finn?

Finn: Uh, yeah, I think, um… why don’t you ask your dad that when you’re with him on christmas. And I think liam can answer that question. Steffy: Wow, talk about passing the buck.

Finn: Anyway, when santa comes down the chimney, what are you hoping he brings you?

Kelly: The only thing I want for christmas I already have: All of us together.

Steffy: [Indistinct] Oh, you are so cute. Oh, my god. (Grump) today is a great day to show up for yourself.

Eric: Pam’s right. You know… ridge? I would really like for you to stop by christmas.

Pam: Look, if you’re just worried about running into brooke… I know she did just kind of give you the old heave ho.

Pam: But–

>>Charlie: But– but she didn’t totally reject you, right? I mean, you guys are still speaking.

Pam: Right?

>>Eric: All right, you two. Look, you need to take all that in the kitchen before it starts to–

Pam: Someone’s telling us to skedaddle.

Charlie: Ah, is that the same as am-scray?

Pam: Yeah.

Charlie: Come on. That fruitcake ain’t gonna bake itself.

Ridge: So– so– so it’s definite. Brooke is going to be here for christmas.

Eric: Well, donna’s living here with me now. And so quite naturally, her sisters will join us. Look, ridge, in spite of everything that’s happened, I’m quite certain that brooke would love to see you at christmas.

Steffy: You know, finn and i couldn’t be more proud of you.

Kelly: Why?

Finn: You realized the true meaning of christmas. It’s family, friends, togetherness. Steffy: Kindness, generosity, forgiveness. You still can be excited about santa claus.

Finn: You are excited about santa, right?

Kelly: Yeah.

Steffy: Good. Because you’ve been such a wonderful little girl this year.

Kelly: I’m not so little anymore.

Finn: I mean, she’s right, before you know it, she’s–

Steffy: Don’t say it.

Finn: She’s gonna be too old for me to do this.

[Giggling] Got you.

[Giggling]

Kelly: You think santa got hayes’ christmas letter?

Steffy: Oh, the one you helped him with?

Kelly: He’s been really good this year, too.

Finn: Yeah. I mean, you know what I think? Not only did the big guy in the north pole get hayes’ letter, he’s putting something extra special in his bag for hayes’ big sister. So…

Kelly: Why?

Steffy: Because you’ve been the best big sister a little brother could have.

Kelly: I love hayes.

Finn: He loves you.

Steffy: And love is what christmas is all about.

Kelly: You know what I said before?

Steffy: About celebrating christmas? How that and being happy is all that really matters?

>Kelly: My family’s the best. And this is the best christmas ever.

Steffy: Oh, my goodness. I love you.

Brooke: Well, if I hurry, I can still make the rest of that publicity meeting.

Carter: Why? You told them you’d miss it. Why not take a minute, relax, and bask in the good news? What?

Brooke: Nothing. It’s just…

[Grunting]

>>Carter: Come here.

>>Brooke: No, really, I’m okay.

Carter: Come here, come here, come here, come here. Sit down. You have to relax, okay? You don’t have to carry this stress anymore. You got the best possible report from your doctor.

Brooke: I know.

>>Carter: You trust me?

Brooke: Yes.

Carter: Close your eyes.

Brooke: Not sure I trust you.

Carter: It’s either you trust me, you don’T.

Brooke: Okay.

Carter: Good. Now take a nice deep breath. Hold it. And slowly release.

[Chuckling]

Brooke: Okay. Thank you. I forgot to breathe sometimes.

Carter: We all do. Listen, katie, you don’t have to go through this by yourself. I’m not talking about the doctor’s appointment. I’m talking about all the worrying leading up to it. I wish you’d opened up to me. Let me help.

Brooke: You helped just by being there.

Carter: Good. Because I want you to know that whether you’re having good times or not so good ones, whether you’re happy, sad, angry, anxious, or whatever it is you’re feeling right now. I want to be there for you. I realize you’ve been going it alone for a while now. And like I said… you don’t have to be alone anymore. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Carter: Now I don’t have a jet or a yacht…

[Both chuckling] I don’t even think there’s any way for me to express how much those things don’t mean to me. I can’t even tell you how many days, weeks, I felt so isolated in my relationship. Not anymore. No way. I have been given a new lease on life. I am going to use storm’s heart in the best way I know how. Live life to the fullest. I want to laugh. I want to dance. Although you might not want to see that. I’m going to work really hard and I am going to raise my son. Mostly… I am going to love… fully… and completely. Thank you.

[Sniffling]

Ridge: I screwed up, dad. I screwed up. Over and over again. And I’ve…

[Indistinct], They told me so. I’ve been in love with two women for most of my adult life. They were there for me and I… I couldn’t choose one of them. Couldn’t make a choice. Why would they put up with that?

Eric: Because they both loved you so deeply. That’s why.

Ridge: I loved them too. Still do. I let them down over and over again. Turned their families upside down. That’s what I mean. I gotta… I gotta change this. I… I gotta find a way to be a better man.

Eric: Well… whether you accomplish that or not…

[Chuckling] I’ll still be your old man. Right?

Ridge: I love you.

Eric: I love you, too, boy.

Ridge: Thank you so much.

Eric: Oh, boy.

Steffy: Kelly’s making christmas cards for her two grandmas and grandpa ridge.

Finn: And I made us some eggnog from eric’s recipe.

Steffy: Stop. You didn’T.

Finn: I did. Although it’s a much lighter pour than your grandfather’S. And I set some aside for the kids later. Some regular eggnog.

Steffy: It’s really beginning to look a lot like christmas.

Finn: Yeah. I mean, the tree is decorated, the presents are wrapped, and stockings are hung by the chimney with care.

Steffy: I keep thinking about kelly’s wise words. She’s right, you know. This is the greatest christmas ever, because… we’re together. When I think about what happened that day in monaco. It was the most miraculous of miracles.

Finn: Steffy!

Steffy: See you standing there…

Finn: Steffy!

Steffy: It was truly the greatest gift imaginable.

Finn: It’s me. I found you. It’s me. It’s really me.

Steffy: Oh, my god. I love you. So much. Merry christmas.

Ashley: Looks like I caught you at a bad time.

Tucker: No, on the contrary. I was just about to get in the shower. That’s the perfect time. It’s where I do all my good thinking.

[ Both chuckle ]

Ashley: Well, I guess I’ll take your word for that.

Tucker: You want to come in and wait? I’ll just be a few minutes.

Ashley: Um, that’s kind of weird. You know, when we were on the phone a couple hours ago, you said that you were just getting out of the shower.

Kyle: Summer and I will be packed up and ready to leave at a moment’s notice.

Summer: Harrison’s at home. So, we can grab him and head to the cabin as soon as you give word, jack.

Jack: If all goes according to plan, this should give you enough time to get away without stark following you.

Kyle: I don’t like the idea of you taking him on alone.

Jack: Hey, I don’t like any of this — ex-con showing up in town to threaten your mother. But it is what it is, and we have to deal with it.

Kyle: Stark seems extremely unpredictable.

Jack: In my experience, the best way to deal with people like stark is to be direct and forceful. Right or wrong, they respond to a show of strength.

Summer: Just be careful.

Jack: I will be. You be cautious, too. And as soon as I give you the word, you get harrison up to that cabin and into his grandmother’s arms as quickly as you can. I will see you both on christmas day with the rest of the family. And with any luck, by then, stark will be out of our lives.

Allie: You missed a couple empty glasses back there.

Noah: Hey.

Allie: [ Sighs ] Isn’t it your staff’s job to clean up?

Noah: Yeah, but I just want to make sure everything’s ready for tonight. I want people to feel warm, welcome.

Allie: You sure that people are going to come to the club on christmas eve?

Noah: Yeah, I think there’s a lot of people out there that are away from their homes and away from their families. I want them to feel welcome here. Maybe it’ll even turn into a holiday tradition, like my mom does over at crimson lights.

Allie: Yeah, yeah, I love that. You want to make sure that people have a place to celebrate.

Noah: Yeah. And no charge. Food and drink specials all night.

Allie: It’s a great way to give back.

Noah: Well, I appreciate you coming out, sacrificing part of your christmas eve for me.

Allie: Yeah, of course. I mean, why wouldn’t I come, right?

Noah: Uh, I-I don’t know. Maybe had something to do with your family.

Allie: Nope. Nope, uh, things are pretty quiet at the house. So, uh, everything here up to your standards?

Noah: Yeah. Yeah. You know, pretty much, uh, except for those two glasses on the table over there. Yeah, but more importantly… you look like absolute perfection tonight.

Tucker: Yeah, I did. I took a shower earlier, but in between, I grabbed a workout. The gym here is unbelievable. Have you seen it?

Ashley: No, I haven’t had the pleasure.

Tucker: Yeah, sometimes i take multiple showers in a day. Please don’t tell my, uh, water-conservationist friends.

Ashley: Yeah. Okay. Your secret is safe with me.

Tucker: You know what I love? You remembered that intimate detail from our conversation. Did it spark any memories?

Ashley: Of what?

Tucker: Uh, maybe you and me in the shower years ago?

Ashley: No.

Tucker: No?

Ashley: No. No, I guess I just have a good memory for detail.

Tucker: Ah, yes, yes. Well, the offer still stands. You can come in and wait, or… you can come in and join me.

Ashley: I think I’m going to go, you know? I think —

Tucker: Hold on. You know, ashley, wait a minute. I’m sorry. That was — ugh, that was a really crass invitation. I don’t know why I did that.

Ashley: I don’t, either, actually.

Tucker: Um, I don’t have to shower now. Come in. Let’s talk. Have a drink. (Vo) red lobster. The finer points of fun dining

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Ashley: Mm, no, thanks. I don’t really feel like a scotch and soda while you’re sitting there all sweaty and gross.

Tucker: Well, I got more than scotch. I got rum. I have gin and tonic, whatever you want.

Ashley: Yeah, I think I’m just going to stay out here.

Tucker: Well, hold on. Uh, why don’t I take a shower, by myself, and I’ll meet you upstairs at the club? I promise to be quick.

Ashley: Oh, I don’t want to rush you. Apparently, you get your best ideas in there.

Tucker: No, but, seriously, I would love to sit down and talk with you. You came here to tell me something. I’d like to know what it is.

Ashley: Yeah, I could use a little advice.

Tucker: Oh. Okay. Uh, I’ll be quick, and I’ll be right up. And hopefully I can help out. It’ll be my christmas gift to you.

Ashley: Well, how cheap of you.

Tucker: [ Laughs ]

Ashley: Actually, just a little conversation would be helpful.

Tucker: Okay.

Ashley: Okay. I’ll see you upstairs.

Tucker: See you.

[ Sighs ] You can come out now.

Audra: You know, it’s not exactly in my job description to hide in bathrooms. But I guess neither is our “colleagues with benefits” arrangement.

Tucker: I appreciate your discretion. Thank you. So, uh, before we… you were talking about striking out on your own.

Audra: I was. But after seeing how you handled ashley abbott, maybe you’re not so far from, you know, achieving your personal goal, which means that you’re one step closer to getting what you want on the business front, too. Perhaps I underestimated you.

Tucker: Wouldn’t be the first time, would it? Hey. Stick with me. If you do, I promise you I’ll get you that reward you deserve.

Kyle: The boy is very excited for our christmas eve mystery adventure.

Summer: [ Laughs ] Well, when you put it like that, even I’m excited.

Kyle: Well, he thinks there’s a possibility we’ll see a reindeer.

Summer: I wonder where he got an idea like that.

Kyle: Uh, he has an overactive imagination.

Summer: I love that you’re making this fun for harrison.

Kyle: Well, we just have to keep framing it that way. This is an adventure. Can’t let him get a whiff that there’s danger.

Summer: We have to stick to our story with everyone. We are going on a santa-tracking adventure, and we’re going to be back home in time for christmas dinner. I have our bags packed, and I got to throw some things together for harrison, and I have a few more presents upstairs that are tucked away, and then we should be ready to go.

Kyle: Whoa, you’re hiding presents upstairs?

Summer: Away from prying eyes.

Kyle: Oh, okay. Okay. Well, must be a very special present.

Summer: Every gift from me is special.

Kyle: Mm, you’re right about that. It’ll be nice to be able to give my mother her presents in person. I just wish it didn’t have to be like this.

Summer: Like jack said, nobody wants it to be like this. But it’s the way that it is, so we just need to make it work.

Kyle: For harrison’s sake.

Summer: Exactly. And I really believe that we are going to pull this off without a hitch. You’re still worried about your dad?

Kyle: Mm, how could I not be? He has the most dangerous job of all.

Jeremy: Jack. Any word on disappearing diane?

Jack: None.

Jeremy: Hmm. So, this is a social call?

Jack: Not exactly.

Jeremy: You know, that’s funny. You tell me to stay away. Now every time I turn around, you’re in my face. That’s a double standard.

Jack: Well, if it really bothers you, I think I have a way of making this end once and for all. When you’re ready to go, but static says “whoa.”

Audra: Uh, hello. Sharon rosales.

Sharon: That’s me.

Audra: You don’t know who i am, but —

Sharon: Actually, I do, audra. I’ve seen you in here before. I saw you the other day. You were talking to one of my baristas about noah. Anyway… nice to formally meet you.

Audra: Likewise. Noah had all kinds of photos of his beautiful family in his flat in london. I recognized you immediately, and he told me all about this place. Everything is so delicious.

Sharon: Thank you. But there’s really no need to butter me up. You and noah are not seeing each other anymore.

Audra: I meant it. I love it here in this town — so charming.

Sharon: So, I hear you are working at chancellor-winters. Sounds like it’s an important position.

Audra: Is there something you want to ask me?

Sharon: Well, I was just wondering if that’s a permanent position or just a temporary consultant job.

Audra: Is that a clever way of asking how long I plan on being in town?

Sharon: Exactly!

Allie: Wow. Look at this guest list. You are going to be packing them in.

Noah: It’s a big week leading up to new year’S.

Allie: You know what? I am so impressed. You had a vision. You set your mind to it. And you made this club a huge success.

Noah: Now, it wasn’t just me. I had a great team, plenty of friends and family supporting me… and you.

Allie: Me? What have I done?

Noah: You’ve been a rock for me. I can lean on you, bounce ideas off you.

Allie: [ Sighs ] That’s — it’s really not a big deal.

Noah: Yes, it is. And I want you to know that this is A… this is a two-way street. So, now, if there’s something on your mind, don’t hold back.

Allie: I’m not sure I know what you mean.

Noah: The last time that we talked, you asked me if you should be worried about audra.

Allie: Look, noah, I… this is not the right time to talk about this.

Noah: Yes, it is. And I don’t want this weighing on you.

Allie: Okay, yeah. I don’t like the thought of your ex kissing you.

Noah: It was completely one-sided. I swear. I hope that our conversation the other day didn’t make you think otherwise.

Allie: I don’t know, noah. You just have this really intense history, and I cannot help but be concerned that she’s not going to give up on getting you back.

Noah: Hey, hey. Just forget about her. I have.

Ashley: Hi, guys.

Noah: Hey.

Allie: Ashley, hey.

Ashley: Hi.

Noah: You here by yourself tonight?

Ashley: I am not. I’m actually meeting tucker.

Allie: Really?

Ashley: Don’t read anything into it. We just have a couple things to discuss.

Allie: Oh, no, I don’t judge. Despite the stunt that he pulled at kyle and summer’s vow renewal, I admire him a lot as a businessman.

Ashley: Okay.

Noah: Don’t worry about it. Allie is really good at not judging people. I have done plenty of idiotic things in front of her, and she’s never made fun of me.

Ashley: [ Laughing ] Okay. Good to know.

Noah: Let me grab you a seat.

Ashley: Okay. Just so great to see such a cute, happy couple. You are happy, aren’t you?

Allie: Yeah, I-I think we are.

Kyle: Whoa! More presents for harrison? I thought we said we weren’t going to overdo it this year.

Summer: This is just a little something that I couldn’t resist. Speaking of overdoing it, did you just sneak a can of mrs. Martinez’s cookies into our travel bag?

Kyle: [ Stammering ] You can’t expect me to celebrate christmas without cookies.

Summer: How are we doing on time?

Kyle: Well, if we want to get there before dark, we should leave soon.

Summer: We haven’t heard from jack yet. He didn’t want us to leave too early in case things go wrong on his end.

Kyle: He’s trying to negotiate with a convicted felon. What could go wrong?

Summer: You’re that concerned about him?

Kyle: Yes. Aren’t you?

Summer: I guess I just feel like jack always knows what he’s doing. He’s like my grandfather. If he says he’s going to do something, he gets it done. I trust him.

Kyle: I do, too.

Summer: I know what you need. A distraction. Why don’t you open this?

Kyle: Ooh, that is against the rules. It is not christmas yet.

Summer: Okay, I think under these circumstances, you’re allowed to open a present early. Trust me. It’s a good one.

Jeremy: So, what’s in there, jack? Hmm? Dueling pistols?

Jack: You claim diane had a quarter of a million of your dollars when you were arrested.

Jeremy: It’s not a claim. It’s a fact.

Jack: Then you will appreciate there is $500,000 here — double what you lost. More interest than you could have earned, either illegally or otherwise.

Jeremy: Is that so? It seems to me after six years in my line of work, I would have done a lot more than double it.

Jack: This is a one-time offer. Take it or leave it. And if you take it, you pack your bags, you get on that plane and you don’t look back.

Music (“I swear”) plays

Allie: Okay, I love all these fun holiday-drink names. Mistletoe mojito, north pole piña colada. Ooh, naughty or nice on ice.

Noah: Yeah, it was something my dad did back at the underground — fun, little tradition. He had a lot of those, actually. At one time, he had a plaque dedicating a booth to a woman he was seeing at the time. Hey, maybe I should do that for you.

Allie: You know what? I don’t need a booth.

Noah: Well, that’s good, because we don’t have any, but a plaque — yeah, a plaque.

Allie: Noah, I don’t need a plaque, either.

Noah: Why not?

Allie: I don’t know. Maybe I don’t want to attract all that attention to myself.

Noah: Alright, fair enough. But what do you need? I’m hoping my christmas gift is right on the mark.

Allie: I’m sure it is.

Noah: Alright, well, just, you know, let me know. There’s plenty of time to hit the stores again, so…

Allie: Noah, stop. Okay? Whatever it is, I’m sure it’s perfect. I get the feeling that you are trying to prove something to me.

Noah: Oh, yeah, what’s that?

Allie: That even though audra wants you back, you only have eyes for me.

Noah: Yeah, I didn’t think that’s what I was doing. But yeah, maybe you’re right.

Allie: You know it’s not necessary, right? Because I know that you only want to be with me.

Audra: So, are you wondering how long I’ll be here? Or are you asking for someone else, like noah?

Sharon: I was just wondering. Noah would never put me up to asking a question for him.

Audra: Yeah, you’re right. He’s very straightforward.

Sharon: Exactly. You still haven’t given me an answer.

Audra: I mean, to be honest, I don’t know. I…I don’t have solid plans. My work at chancellor-winters isn’t done yet. But you don’t really care about my job status. You’re just worried how my presence affects noah.

Sharon: Well, I have to be honest. When he came home from london, he just wasn’t himself. Seemed like all the joy and energy had been drained out of him.

Audra: Yeah. And the breakup was hard on both of us.

Sharon: I don’t doubt that. But noah wasn’t himself again until he met allie. She’s the one who got him out of that funk. She’s been very supportive of his career moves, and there’s a sweetness between them, and I don’t want to see that change.

Audra: Don’t worry. I received the message loud and clear. Noah wants nothing to do with me. There was a moment when I thought we could rekindle what we had, but noah doused that flame pretty quickly. And I’m not about to beg him for another chance. I wish noah and allie the best luck in the world. They don’t have to worry about any trouble from me.

Sharon: So, you are sticking around for a while?

Audra: I still have some things I want to accomplish at work. After that, I mean, I’m not sure. I like it here. And with so many titans of industry in genoa city, who knows what will come next for me?

Chance: Sharon… I did it.

Ashley: [ Choking ]

Tucker: What the hell are you drinking?

Ashley: It’s called a candy cane-tini.

Tucker: Ugh!

[ Both laugh ] How is it?

Ashley: Hmm? It’s very pretty to look at.

Tucker: Not really.

Ashley: I think I should have ordered a glass of wine.

Tucker: Well, you could probably ask for a refund from the manager, but he’s busy making out with your grand niece.

Ashley: [ Laughing ] Yeah! Well, they are a very cute couple, aren’t they?

Tucker: Oh, yeah. Of course, I’m going to take credit for that. I played a huge role in introducing allie to the abbotts and genoa city altogether.

Ashley: Mm-hmm.

Tucker: And she never would have met noah if it weren’t for me.

Ashley: Well, she definitely is lovely. And she’s a welcome addition to our family, although I do think that her introduction could have been handled much better, you know?

Tucker: Yes. You have a good point. I do regret her being a pawn in my attempt to get back here. And by here I mean in your presence.

Ashley: Wow, that shower really did some wonders, huh? Lookit — you’re having all sorts of deep thoughts…

Tucker: Oh, yeah.

Ashley: …Concerning allie, anyway.

Tucker: No, all I could think about was you.

Ashley: We’re going to do the hard sell again?

Tucker: No, no, no, no. No, I mean concern for you. You were obviously churned up about something when you came to my door. Is everything alright?

Ashley: Well, I got a lot on my mind. That’s for sure.

Tucker: Like what? Tell me. I can’t give you advice if I don’t know what’s going on.

Ashley: It’s not what. It’s who.

Tucker: Okay. Who?

Ashley: Jack.

Tucker: Ah.

Ashley: We got into it earlier, and it got very ugly.

Jack: Last time we spoke, you said you would consider taking the cash.

Jeremy: Did I?

Jack: I think you know you’re not going to get a better offer than this.

Jeremy: I don’t think this compensation is as valuable as you think it is. 500k divided by 72 months in prison — that works out to, what, $7,000 a month, $200 a day while I was locked up, unable to run my business. Now, my time is worth much more than that.

Jack: Fine. Name your price.

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

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Kyle: Are you sure about this? It feels so wrong.

Summer: I checked with santa personally, and he said it’s okay.

Kyle: I can’t believe how adorable you are.

Summer: [ Laughs ]

Kyle: Okay. What? What is this?

Summer: It’s a make-your-own ornament kit. I thought you could make one with harrison, just like…

Kyle: Like dad did with dina when he was a kid.

Summer: Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. It’s not the exact same ornament, but it’s pretty close. I know it’s not your typical gift, but I —

Jack: No, it’s not. It’s so much better. Thank you.

Sharon: Chance, I have never seen you this excited. What did you do?

Chance: Well, I cracked a case that has plagued the gcpd for years. Rey actually told me about it. You know what I’m talking about?

Sharon: No. Which one?

Chance: Okay, so around this time every year, there is just a rash of thefts at the mall, right? Big-ticket items, thousands of dollars. Nobody knows what’s going on. So, I put it together. Who has access to the mall only during the holidays?

Sharon: I don’t know. Who?

Chance: Santa’s helpers.

Sharon: What?

Chance: Mm-hmm. So, I cross-reference employment and criminal records. Boom. Here this guy is. He’s been ripping off gc the whole time working as an elf. An elf! I mean, that is the perfect cover. Here’s the problem, though. He used a phony I.D. When he got hired. So, we couldn’t find his real name. So, I had to put an apb out on his elf name.

Sharon: Which is what?

Chance: Merry mcjingles.

Sharon: [ Laughing ] Okay, you’re making this up.

Chance: I swear to santa claus that I’m telling the truth. We just got the guy. We found him in the mall parking lot. And so, we approach him, right? He denies ever working as an elf, but he forgot to take off one of his ears. So, he said, “I didn’t do it. It wasn’t me.” And his little elf ear is flapping around in the wind. I tell you.

Sharon: Oh, my gosh, this sounds like one of those christmas-movie plots. You know what? You should pitch this to your mother.

Chance: I know. She’s going to love that story. I can’t wait to tell her.

Sharon: Hey, is nina going to be around for christmas?

Chance: No, no, she’s not, actually, this year. And I’m okay with that. I don’t really feel like talking to her about the whole divorce thing, you know?

Sharon: Well, how are you going to feel about that, not being around family at christmas? I mean, how is everything going?

Chance: I’m good. Yeah. You know, I wrapped all of dominic’s presents, got them under the tree. I’m not really sure how much time I’m going to get with him. He’s got a lot of families to go visit, but I want to make the most of it.

Sharon: So, what are you gonna do when he’s not around?

Chance: Put in some overtime, do some paperwork.

Sharon: Sounds like a plan.

Chance: You’re not about to take me to task, are you? Or preach the importance of family time during the holidays?

Sharon: No, you know what you’re doing. You know, sometimes work is the right answer.

Chance: Well, you know what? I’m very glad to hear you say that, because right now, work is my life preserver.

Noah: So, we’re all good? You don’t need to talk about the whole audra thing?

Allie: I would be okay with not talking about her at all. We have so many happy things on the horizon. This is going to be a big week for you. So, let’s focus on that.

Noah: It’s a big week for you, too — our first christmas with the abbotts.

Allie: Okay. Guess what? I got the official schedule for christmas day. There is a family breakfast with homemade cinnamon rolls. For whatever reason, that seems to be a big part of their tradition.

Noah: That family loves their pastries.

Allie: Oh, yeah, they do. And I am not complaining.

Noah: Alright, well, it sounds like you should go have breakfast at the abbotts’ while I’m doing volunteer work with my mom at crimson lights.

Allie: Okay. And then you want to meet up afterwards? And then we can go spend half the day with the abbotts and then go see the newmans for dinner?

Noah: Yeah, yeah, sounds good, but fair warning. Newman christmas does not end at cinnamon rolls. Expect a feast, okay, and caroling and ice skating and presents. And my grandma is going to get on the piano, and she wholeheartedly expects everyone to sing. So…

Allie: My god, these two families go all out for christmas.

Noah: And you ready for it?

Allie: I think this is going to be a gluttonous, exhausting, fantastic, and epic holiday. And I cannot wait. I think this is going to be the best christmas ever.

Chance: Wow, look at that.

Sharon: And it’s on the house. Thank you for protecting genoa city from dangerous elves.

Chance: Thank you, sharon. You know what? I can’t wait to see merry mcjingles’ mug shot. And I just pray they kept that ear on. It’ll be classic.

Sharon: Hey, you know, if you’re serious about working over the holidays, you’re welcome to come here tomorrow morning and volunteer. We’d love to have you.

Chance: Sure. Yeah.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Sharon: Excuse me. Oh, that’s faith. I have to take this.

Chance: Yeah, no worries.

Sharon: Hey, faith. How’s switzerland?

Chance: No.

Audra: A little sweet?

Chance: Um, yeah, it’s like a whole gingerbread house jammed in a cup.

[ Both chuckle ] You know, I was never a fan of these festive drinks. What’s wrong with a good, old, hot cup of coffee, right?

Audra: Maybe you’re just not in a festive mood. I overheard your story about arresting the elf.

Chance: Oh.

Audra: It seems kind of grinchy.

Chance: [ Laughs ] Well, you see, he was the grinch. I just saved the day.

Audra: Oh. Good. It’s not so often you get to meet heroes.

Chance: Yeah.

Audra: Thank you for your service. And I do want to see that mug shot.

Chance: Yeah. Yep.

Ashley: I mean, obviously jack and I have butted heads a lot regarding diane. But this time was different. I could not believe what was coming out of his mouth.

Tucker: Hmm. Well, knowing how you feel about diane, I’m sure you were in the right.

Ashley: He’s furious with me for her feeling so frightened that she had to leave town, you know?

Tucker: He’ll get past it.

Ashley: What he won’t get past is the part that he thinks I played in bringing jeremy stark here.

Tucker: So, diane really got her claws into him, huh?

Ashley: Mm.

Tucker: And he buys into her whole redemptive-angel routine.

Ashley: Oh, yeah, of course. I mean, he’s president of her fan club. Even when I present him with all the lies she’s told since she came back here, he doesn’t care. He looks right past all that evidence. And he just goes right back to blaming me for her having to leave town.

Tucker: So, why put up with any of that anymore? If he’s going to turn his back on you, do something about it.

Jeremy: Are you and diane involved? Because she’s lovely and hard to resist.

Jack: Years ago, I was a prime suspect in her alleged murder. Does that give you an answer?

Jeremy: No, not really. Whatever happened in the past, you’re here right now fighting for her with such valiant passion and quite generously, too.

Jack: Frankly, this has nothing to do with diane. I am sick and tired of her lies and manipulations. But we share a son and a grandson. That’s who I’m fighting for. So, do we have a deal or not?

Jeremy: I want a settlement so we can put all this behind us.

Jack: Good.

Jeremy: I want to negotiate.

Jack: Excellent.

Jeremy: With diane.

Jack: What?

Jeremy: I only want to deal with her. She’s the one who took my money, and now she needs to make it right.

Jack: Diane is gone.

Jeremy: Come on, jack. Are you trying to tell me that diane just vanished in the cold wisconsin night without a trace? You know where she is. And you’re going to take me to her. Then we’ll talk business.

Summer: For me? You shouldn’t have.

Kyle: Well, it’s just a little something. The good stuff comes tomorrow.

Summer: Oh, it’s beautiful. An “h” for harrison. I can put this on my bracelet.

Kyle: You’ll never guess who picked it out.

Summer: I’m going to have to thank him, too. I love it.

Kyle: Are you okay? What’s wrong?

Summer: Yeah. No, I’m fine. This is great. I love the charm. It’s just… I got a similar one for my mom when I was little, and… I just can’t believe that we’re going to be spending this christmas fighting with each other.

Kyle: It won’t be like that. You two will find a way to set aside your differences.

Summer: We both know my mom, kyle. I fired her right before christmas. She is never going to get over that. I just don’t know how we’re going to make things okay between us again.

Kyle: Hey, I will make them okay. I’m going to give you the best christmas… a loving, special day we’ll never forget. Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Chance: I’m fighting crime all day, right? So, why would I go home and listen to a podcast about true crime?

Audra: Because they’re so juicy, okay? But I get it. I guess I wouldn’t want to come home and listen to a business-finance podcast.

Chance: Okay, now, that’s interesting. I’m into that.

Audra: Yeah.

Sharon: [ Clears throat ] Any refills here?

Chance: Uh, I think I’m alright. You?

Audra: Uh, I’m okay.

Chance: Thank you, sharon. Excuse me a second.

Audra: Yep.

Chance: Hey, is faith alright?

Sharon: Yeah. Yeah, she’s fine. It’s just hard having her away. She’s so away for the holidays.

Chance: Yeah. I’m sorry. That’s tough. Guess I should be more thankful that dominic and i are on the same continent, huh?

Sharon: Look, I know that it seems really hard right now, but eventually you and abby are going to figure out a way to co-parent together. And who knows? Maybe next christmas you’ll be together with your son.

Chance: Thank you, sharon. You know what? I can always count on you for support and good advice.

Sharon: [ Laughs ] I don’t know about that!

Chance: No, no. No, I mean it. Come in here, you get a coffee or whatever the hell that gingerbread drink is, and you take care of them. And it’s appreciated, really. And I know it’s got to be exhausting. I mean, don’t you ever want to just tell everyone to suck it up, deal with it?

Sharon: That wasn’t in any of the textbooks when I was getting my degree.

Chance: Well, you know what? You got a lot more patience than I do.

Sharon: You know, I think that I’m able to keep a positive attitude a lot of the time because I’m grateful for every day. Look, I know that there’s a lot of pain and loss in the world, but I think that we can take that pain and grow from it and learn to love even deeper.

Ashley: So, the tension between jack and me is just off the charts. And, frankly, that’s what diane creates. You know, she manipulates, and then it just causes chaos.

Tucker: I know. Alright, but let’s look at the situation. So, he’s made his loyalty obviously very clear, and it’s not to his family. So, why are you obligated to be loyal to him? It’s a little bit like how i told you to distance yourself from nikki and phyllis. Maybe you also need some distance from your brother.

Kyle: I don’t think you should worry about what happened to your mom right now. Embrace the holiday.

Summer: What does that mean? You want me to wear a santa suit?

Kyle: If you’re up for it, sure. But what I’m talking about is the fact we’re headed to a cabin in the woods. There may be snow along the way. We could have a wisconsin white christmas, the kind you’ve always missed in milan.

Summer: You thought it was the snow that I missed while we were abroad? It was my family. And I’m sad that we’re not going to be able to spend time with them this year. That being said, I want us to have as little stress as possible this holiday. So…

Kyle: Under the circumstances — fleeing town to avoid a dangerous ex-con who’s after my mother — I don’t know if it will be completely stress-free, but this could be the last hurdle for all of us. We can get stark out of town before the new year, and we can all have peace on earth.

Summer: Wouldn’t that be nice?

Jeremy: If you’re not going to take me to see diane, then I want you to get your briefcase out of here, because we’re done.

Jack: The whole point of the money is so that diane doesn’t have to see you again.

Jeremy: It isn’t just about the money. There’s a few more questions that I need to ask diane. And after the last few years that I’ve been through, I think I’m entitled to a few answers.

Jack: So, you want to meet with her one last time?

Jeremy: One last time. We have a conversation, and then I move on… with the money, of course.

Jack: Fine. You win. I have had it with this whole mess. She brought all of this to my doorstep. And I think it’s only right that she put an end to it.

Jeremy: I think that’s fair.

Jack: I think I know where I can find her.

Jeremy: Now we’re making progress.

Jack: Once I take you there, you have your little chat. Then you take your money, and it’s over! None of us ever have to see you again.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

carly:

[ Laughing ] Drew: It’s not a race.

[ Laughs ] Well… well, maybe it is. Oh, that’s ama– let me see what you got.

[ Indistinct conversation ] Oh, I love that. Go take it. Go show — go show your mom. Olivia: Yeah.

[ Laughs ] I’m going to recite all of these poems at my theater group!

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughs ] Okay, well, pace yourself, kiddo. Yeah, yeah. How about maybe one or two a week? How about that? There are 36 weeks in a school year. Let me see how many poems there are.

[ Olivia and ned laugh ] Mommy, come here and play with me!

[ Drew laughs ] Be right there. Oh, it’s a shame that monica is under the weather and can’t be here for this. She would have loved this. Sometimes the greatest gift of all is to be tucked

With some hot tea and some blessed quiet.
[ Laughs ] Don’t forget the christmas cookies. Michael: Hey, can, uh — can daddy play, too? Wiley, what do you say? Santa’s the best!
[ Laughter ]
[ Indistinct chatter ] Maxie? Austin. Hi. Hi. What — what are you doing here?
[ Laughs ] Well, I-I thought we had a plan that you and i would be here together with the kids and enjoy the festivities. Yeah. Uh, I-I didn’t think you’d show. Since you blackmailed georgie’s father. Spencer: Hey, I, uh, I brought presents. Oh, goody. Something extravagant, I hope. Um… although I know molly’s about to say it’s the thought that counts. Because it is. Dante: Hey, let us, uh, take these. Oh, thanks, but I don’t — -yes, you do. -Okay. Sam: The kids are upstairs making videos for their social media. Whatever you do, do not engage. Hey, spencer. Aunt alexis, hey. How’s it going? Thank you so much for having me. Are you kidding me? Oh, my gosh. You’re always welcome here. I’m just surprised your father didn’t monopolize you for the holidays now that you’re out of pentonville. Him, I see every day. All of you, I don’t get to see nearly as much. So I wanted to make up for that this christmas. Aww, famous last words. Oh, my gosh. What’s all this? Portia: [ Chuckles ] We wanted to do something special for you. But if you’re not in the mood, we understand. No. No, it’s — it’s beautiful. Merry christmas, baby.
[ Chuckles ] Did you see the house with all the angels? And the lights and the music all at the same time! Psh!
[ Finn and chase chuckle ] Violet, why don’t you go find us some more appropriate attire to wear for our christmas celebration? On it! Look, I know you guys are hurting, but that little girl is expecting a merry christmas, not a grumpy one. Can’t you both focus on your blessings for one night for her sake? What’s the update? It’s happening? Thank you so much. You have no idea what this means. Yes, I know. I know, you did me a favor, and now I owe you. And you’re definitely going to collect.

“Kristina corinthos-davis. Manager.” I will use this to rule with an iron fist. You like it? It’s not too square? Molls, it is so square, it could not have possibly come from anyone else. Which is why I love it. Oh. [ Chuckles ] Yay, I’m so relieved. These, on the other hand… I like those. Okay. Thank you. Yeah, you know what? Laugh it up. But I got them for everybody. Of course you did. Yeah, you can never have too many socks. That’s what I say. That — that’s — that’s true. And I would know because I am a doctor. See? Ugh, you two are way too… you guys.

[ Chuckles ] Why, thank you.

[ Smooches ] Can I get you guys some more cider? Dante: I can help out. Let’s do it. You okay? Great. Yeah. This is, uh — this is good. This is fun. For a cassadine, you are a terrible liar. I-I have a lot on my mind. Okay, well, I got plenty of time here, so what’s on your mind? This is probably a stupid question, but… am I destined to be just like my father? I’m sorry.

[ Sniffles ] You have nothing to be sorry for. Honey, you’re entitled to feel however you need to feel. No, no, no. There’s no pressure. There’s no pressure here. Thanks. I appreciate that. I-I just don’t want to bring down your holiday. You couldn’t if you tried. Trina, the holidays are about family. The ones we’re born into, the ones we’ve chosen, and the ones that we’re lucky enough to be chosen by. All that matters is us being here for you. And you know what we’re going to do? We’re going to follow your lead. So if you want to do something, I got supplies to decorate ornaments, you know. Our old tradition. Yeah, like we used to do. And we stopped doing it for a couple of years, but I figured this was the perfect time to bring it back. And if you want to be low-key, that’s absolutely fine, too. Just — just do what makes your heart feel good. Okay? Thanks. But christmas is even more important during hard times. And yes [Sniffles] I’m sad… and scared, but being here with all of you, I know I’m lucky, too.

[ Sniffles ] We love you. Can we — can we just talk for a second? Right? I just — I mean, I feel like we should clear the air. No matter what, we should know where we stand going into the holidays, right? And where do you think that is? I don’t know. I don’t know where you’re at. For me, I know I messed up. I-I let my insecurities get the best of me, and I did some shady stuff. And the worst of that was to pressure spinelli. I shouldn’t have done that. I know he’s important to you. I’m sorry. I was trying to hold on to you, but I think I might have driven a wedge between us. The wedge was already there, and I think you know that. I didn’t know we were doing presents tonight. Uh, well, we let the kids open one present each. Oh. I was starting to think that we weren’t going to see you before the show at rice plaza tonight. Well, I have a couple minutes before I have to go. Nothing’s more important than family at christmas, right? What? Yes, family is important. But so are other loved ones. Like… leo: Brook lynn! Yeah? Where’s chase? I want to show him my book. He’s, um, with family at the moment. I’m gonna go read my book. Bye. Uh, is — is — is chase coming to get you here, or are you going to meet up at the show? Chase isn’t coming. Not here. Not rice plaza. Nowhere that I am. Look at us, all together on christmas. There was a time I thought I’d never spend the holidays with my sons, much less my beautiful granddaughter. We’ve come so far. I-I’m sorry. I’m not really in the holiday spirit. Maybe I should just go.

[ Sighs ] Now that you’re not performing tonight, you’re free to spend time with your family. Brook lynn completely screwed me over, okay? Look, I’m so sorry, bro. What brook lynn did was wrong. It was beyond wrong. She cost me my badge when she took it on herself to make decisions about my life. You know, the more I think about it, I’m so happy that I backed out of the gingerbread jam. Brook lynn can deal with the fallout. Oh, I get it. This is about revenge. Guess what, wiley. Me and mommy have something to tell you. Do you want to do the honors? Wiley, we found out that the baby in mommy’s tummy is a girl. You’re going to have a little sister. How does that sound, wiley? I can’t wait!

[ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ] I’m really glad you’re here. Me too.

[ Indistinct conversation ] Donna’s with sonny, and avery’s with her mother, and josslyn’s with trina. I would be going crazy if I was sitting in that house by myself. Oh, sure. Not to mention, I get bonus time with wiley. Yeah, and who can resist that? Ah. Do you think willow’s okay? She’s really pale, and she seems to be having a really hard time with this pregnancy. Yeah, unfortunately, I think finding out that her birth mother was dead really added on the stress. But now that we know denise was lying, I am not gonna stop until I find her birth parents. Or at least find out what happened to them. You are a man on a mission, aren’t you? We got to tell her. We got to tell her that there’s still hope that her family’s out there. I think that would be a really big mistake. Why? Hey, thanks for helping me out. Of course.

I just think you should wait until you have all the facts before you hit willow with more bad news. Like the suspicion that harmony stole willow from her birth parents? Yeah. I mean, let willow enjoy christmas before you put all that on her. Will my little sister be here next christmas? Oh, she sure will. Will we open presents together? Well, she’ll have presents, but she’ll — she’ll be too small to open them herself. Then… you and me and mommy will help her open them. Right, mommy? We sure will. I’ll be right back. Hey, let me help you up. There you go. Okay. Hey, I’m so sorry to hear that you and chase split up. Yeah, we were worried that something like this might happen. Worried, but hardly surprised. And chase bailed on the performance tonight? Well, chase was only performing because we were together. Go ahead. Lay it on me. Tell me how I was selfish and stupid and deserved what I got. I’m so sorry, honey. Honey, we know how important chase was to you. And if anyone understands what you’re going through, it’s us. You’re not gonna lecture me? It’s christmas eve. No lecture today. Maybe on new year’S.

[ Chuckles ] No, no, no, no, no. No phones tonight. Mm. You are all mine. Anything important? No, no, no. I was just gonna check in on cody, make sure he wasn’t all alone. Well, you could invite him to the gingerbread jam. Yeah? Mm-hmm. I don’t know if I’ve told you lately how incredible I think you are. Mm, a couple times. Yeah? Yeah. Oh.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh. I, uh — I gotta go. What? Is it work? It wasn’t another attack, was it? No, no. No, nothing like that. Don’t worry. I’ll be right back. Okay? Promise. Okay. I shouldn’t have brought it up. It’s christmas. It’s the perfect holiday to maximize family dysfunction.

[ Chuckles ] What’s going on with your dad? I found out some things about him. I’m embarrassed. I’m ashamed. Like, it makes me look bad by association. Does that make sense? Sadly, it does. I want to have a life outside of my family, to stay away from my father and even uncle victor. But I can’t find a permanent way out. So I need you to tell me.

[ Sighs ] How do I escape my own family? You can’T. Hey, why don’t you take a break, dad? Well, uh-uh-uh! In a minute. I just want to make sure everything is perfect for trina. And I’m helping. Doctor’s orders. That’s right. Well, I’m sure trina will appreciate the effort. But what I have to say, you guys, cannot wait. You don’t have to stay. Traffic’s gonna get crazy with the gingerbread jam at rice plaza. Then I’ll take the backroads. Stop putting everybody else first. I’m here as long as you need me.

[ Sighs ] I was supposed to be with rory’s family tonight. I told him I’d go… before… I was on my way to tell rory that I didn’t love him.

[ Voice breaking ] All because I can’t shake my feelings for spencer. And he might have broken up with me. But I’ll never know. Rory is gone, and he’d still be here if he’d never met me.

we’ve all been workingreally hard to help trina, and she is absolutely our number-one priority. But, portia, honey, this is our first christmas as an engaged couple in our home. Mm-hmm. [ Laughs ] Dad… sir, this is our first christmas in over 30 years since you came back into my life. And even with everything that’s going on, I think these things need to be celebrated. Oh, son. Oh, my… baby. Honey! Man. Dad. Oh! You’re too much. Can I open it? Can I open it? Please. Open them. Open. All right.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, my goodness. Let me see. Oh, my gosh. Wow. This is perfect. It’s like self-care in a box, baby. Thank you so much. Oh… aww. …My. Oh, wow. Wow, wow. When… let me — I can’t believe you, son. Oh. These… this… son, this is like a time machine. Aww. Thank you. Thank you, son. Thank you. Baby. In what universe are you even remotely responsible for rory’s death? He was investigating a crime. Investigating

this crime. The killer happened to be there. Exactly. If it wasn’t for me, rory wouldn’t be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

[ Sighs ] Okay. It’s time for some tough love. What happened to rory was a tragedy, and you are entitled to feel however you want about that, but not responsible. The only person responsible for this is the monster who killed rory. You’re right. I know you’re saying it, but I don’t think you mean it. Listen, it’s human nature. When things get really, really bad, we try to make sense of them, and we’re willing to accept answers from anywhere, even if that means believing the worst about ourselves. And you think that’s what I’m doing? It is what you’re doing.

[ Sobs ] And blaming yourself… it’s only gonna hold you back. And rory would not want that for you. Rory would want you to keep moving forward. Come here. Look, I appreciate you owning what you did. That proves to me that you can still be a good man… which is why I was drawn to you in the first place. Well, uh… helping a woman deliver a baby in the woods when she’s being chased by a crazy nurse… make anyone look like a hero. But, see [Sighs] That’s where the root of our problem is. When I met you, I was trying to save my own life, trying to save my daughter’s life, and trying to survive the most traumatic relationship I had ever been in. And there you were, like a guardian angel. We went through something huge together, and we became really important to each other really fast. So fast that I think lines were blurred. Trauma bonding is a real thing. And…

[ Sighs ] You know, fate brought us together, but… but we’re not meant to be. Um… we — we need to tell willow that there’s still a chance that her birth parents are out there. She clearly needs some hope. Well, it’s not particularly hopeful to hear that you’ve been taken from your family. I mean, when you’re pregnant, your hormones just compound everything. And that’s what’s going on with willow. Hey, there’s nothing to worry about. Broo k lynn: I got so caught upin what I wanted, I convinced myself it’s what chase wanted, too. Now chase is gone, and I… I have to live with that. What are you gonna do about the show tonight? You’ll be in breach of contract if you don’t show up with an act. Then I’ll just have to get a different act. Dad, you. You can take chase’s place.

[ Laughs ] Oh. Hey. That’s your color. Really? Okay. I’m gonna take your word for it. Can we do the advent calendar? You bet. Why isn’t there one for the christmas day? One for chr– well, that’s because santa brings you candy for your stocking. Daddy, I know you do that. What? Santa only brings presents. You’re getting way too smart for me. Mwah. Look, I’m not trying to excuse what brook lynn did. You have every right to be angry. Damn right I do. Brook lynn — brook lynn… made a mistake. One that cost you dearly. But just because she didn’t do the right thing doesn’t mean you can’T. What are you talking about? Your badge was taken away. Not your moral compass. There’s still a wrong left for you to make right. Tonight.

[ Knock on door ] I’ll go get that. Dante: Oh, hey. Dante. Yeah. Sorry to interrupt. Merry christmas. But I got some news, and I don’t think it can wait.

Who needs chase when I’ve got eddie maine? Brook lynn. What linc and blaze signed up for and what the rice plaza bookers agreed to was a performance by two up-and-comers. You can’t just change the terms at the last minute. Well, this is an emergency. They won’t see it that way. Now, look, if there’s no way you’re gonna get chase to do this, you need to be honest with the people that you made an agreement with. Tell them I can’t deliver. Unfortunately — dare I say it? Mm, please don’T. You have to face the music. Look, carly, I… I-I still don’t feel good keeping this from her. All we have is a theory, and an extremely disturbing one at that. Okay. Okay. You’re right. I… I think. I’ll take that. You okay? Yeah. Sorry for getting so… oh, well, we are going to spend many more christmases together. You hear me?

[ “God rest ye merry, gentlemen” plays ] I’m gonna take this to my room. You’re doing a good job hiding your pain from violet. Wasn’t so sure if what you told me the other day. Your performance has improved. Thanks? I’m not trying to pry. I know there are elements of your breakup you don’t want to discuss, but… violet loves her aunt elizabeth. I know, I know. And no matter what happens between us, elizabeth will always be a part of violet’s life. I’m proud of you for not leaning into despair when it would be so easy to. Well, you know, I’ve had a lot of practice. You know, I think I finally learned my lesson this time, dad. You know, I’m not cut out for love or relationships. I… as much as I try, some sort of tragedy follows me everywhere. I know you’ve experienced your share of darkness. We’ve had our share of darkness as a family, as well. But it would be a mistake to ignore all the joy we’ve had, too. Is this the part of the conversation where you say, “everything happens for a reason”?

[ Laughs ] I wouldn’t dream of being so cliché. Mm. But the journey you’ve been on has put you on the path that brought violet into your life. Would you change that? Of course not. Not — not for a minute. So maybe don’t throw in the towel yet. Sorry about that. Listen, the ccrb is gonna revisit your reinstatement. They’re gonna take another look at your case at the next meeting in the spring. That’s great! Fantastic. Yeah. It was supposed to be a done deal. Yeah, it was, but I don’t know. Brook lynn managed to get them her letter. I thought it was too late for that. It was. Like I said, I have no idea what happened. Maybe she wore them down.

[ Sighs ] Yeah. Yeah. Brook lynn has that effect on people. Yeah. She does. And thank you for coming here and telling me that. Yeah. Merry christmas, partner.

[ “We wish you a merry christmas” plays ] Hey.

[ Door closes ] What did dante want? To deliver a christmas miracle. You mean a lot to me. You really do. And I do wish that things were different, but they’re just not. So… maybe we should just call it. I am grateful for you. And not just because you brought bailey lou into this world, but…for the time that we spent together, even though it didn’t work out. Me too.

[ “Hark! The herald angels sing” plays ] Merry christmas.

[ Chuckles ] No, no, no, really. Merry christmas, maxie. I hope those kids have a great holiday. Give that little bailey a hug for me? Of course. Thanks for being the best. Call me if you need anything. You know I will.

[ Door closes ] How are you feeling?

[ Sighs ] I’m okay. There’s something I want to do, and I need your help. Didn’t think I was gonna leave you out, did you? Um… I figured. I just thought I was gonna have to wait till morning. Well, that was the plan, but you inspired me.

[ Chuckles ] That’s it. Let’s see. Mm. That was our first christmas together. Oh, dad. Your mama, me, tommy. And that blur, that’s your aunt stella. She set the timer too fast. We thought it was all funny, so… so that’s our favorite. And that little boy right there… that’s you. I can’t tell you how grateful I am, curtis, for this second chance to make up for those… all those holidays I missed spending with you. I don’t understand, because you and sam and kristina and molly, you all have your own lives. You’re not…

[ Sighs ] You don’t get drawn in by our family. You’re not dependent on us. You don’t get sucked into the drama and the scheming and the treachery. We’re still connected to them. I-I fully expected victor to walk through that door and refer to this gathering as it were some, like, “little soiree,” while he’s lecturing us about family. Right. You can’t escape being a cassadine, spencer, but you can survive it. Okay. How? The girls and I, we have our own lives, right? Because I insisted on that. They insisted on that. And that wasn’t easy, but it just looks easy on nights like this. And, yes, victor has a special interest in you, and I am advising you to be very cautious about that. And if you have questions that he can’t answer, you ask me instead. Mm. Because this band of psychopathic murdering megalomaniacs are ours. They’re our family, and they always will be. So basically, I’m doomed, like a brontosaurus in a tar pit then.

[ Sighs ] This place that you live in is always gonna take space up in your head. But the key is to just accept that. And if you do that, it’ll just be easier to forge your own path. Is that how you do it? Is that how you’re able to always rise above the insanity that is our own family? Because that is all I want to do. I remember that genetics don’t dictate your actions. You’re your own person. And you can never not be a cassadine, but you can ground yourself in other things. Such as? Find out what makes you feel alive. You. Spencer. Not spencer cassadine. Does that make sense? I’m not sure. I want it to. Find out what makes you happy, figure out what that is, and then hang on to that, and let that be your guide. And I promise you, this is not gonna last forever. At some point, you will be able to ignore their attempts to pull you in, and you will just follow your own heart.

Harrison chase’s manager, right? I’ve been looking everywhere for you. Where’s my opening act? Um, about that… brook lynn! Hi! Hi. I’m so happy to see you! I came to wish you and chase good luck. No, those don’t go there. Ooh. Where’s chase? Chase isn’t coming. Oh. I’m sorry. Is there something I can do to help? No, there’s not. But thanks. Okay, then I’m gonna go find my kids and my mom. Uh…break a leg. -Thanks. -So where is he? Look, I’m so sorry. I know this is disappointing, but… blaze is gonna have to perform solo. No. “No”? What do you mean, “no”? Chase isn’t coming, so I don’t see another option. Blaze’s manager’s been screaming at me all afternoon. A solo performance is a nonstarter. You need to fix this — now. Molly, this caramel apple pie is to die for. I mean, you legitimately made this yourself? I did. Yes. Thank you. Yeah. Baking has become sort of, like, a meditation for me these days. Mm. Well, I, too, am beginning to realize that there is more to life than work. I have organized a charity clothing drive to benefit struggling lgbtq+ youth. -You organized that? -Yeah. It starts tomorrow. I realized that helping other people gives my life purpose. And I never would have realized how much I needed that if I didn’t have a job that allows me the time to explore it. It seems like you’ve all found the things that make you feel alive. Oh, well, yeah, that’s a lovely way of putting it, spencer. I guess we’re lucky that way. Merry christmas, everybody. I’m afraid that I have to go, though. Oh, spencer. Are you okay? Was it something kristina said?

[ Chuckles ] It was, actually. What all of you said. Thank you, aunt alexis. I just realized that there’s somewhere that I have to be.

[ “What child is this?” Plays ]

[ Sighs ] Thanks. Look at those two. If you didn’t know better, you would think that there’s nothing wrong in the world, that it truly is peace on earth. Yeah, they are beautiful. Yeah. This whole evening. I get to spend christmas with my family. That’s a gift. Merry christmas, dad. Merry christmas, son.

[ Chuckles ] Honey, this is such a lovely idea. You’re so thoughtful. Rory holds a special place in my heart, and it’s important for me to keep his memory alive, even while I move forward. Oh. It just needs one final touch.

[ “O come, all ye faithful” plays ] Oh. Is that… is that from a soda can?

[ Laughs ] I know it’s corny. No. But the day we met, the police had been questioning me for a while, and he brought me a soda. Then when I was exonerated, he brought me another one. And because I’m ridiculous, I saved the tab. You are not ridiculous in any way, shape, or form. You know what that is, sweetheart? That’s perfect. Okay. I need to go. -This is darth vader. -It is? Oh, wow. Already? Yeah. We barely had a chance to talk. I know, but I have to get home. Hey. You have a merry christmas. Bye-bye, grandma. -Bye-bye. -Aww! -Merry christmas. -Yeah! That’s so sweet. -Oh! I love it. I love you. You have a good night, okay? Okay. I’ll walk you out. Yes. Okay. I’ll be back. Here.

[ “Deck the halls” plays ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Suspenseful music plays ]

[ Horn honks ]

[ Vehicle passes ]

[ Tires screeching ] I’ve been dying to do that all night. Keeping my hands off of you has been really difficult. Mm. Before you go…

[ Gasps ] …I got you a present. You got me a present? I did.

Hark! The herald angels sing

[ Gasps ] Oh! I love it. Hopefully it’ll remind you of our time together there. It will, but I could never forget.

…And mercy mild what is the key for? You’ll find out. Merry christmas. Ah!

Joyful all ye nations rise

join the triumph of the skies

with angelic hosts proclaim when will I be able to make hot cocoa by myself? Oh. Far too soon, I’m afraid. All right. Well, here we are. We’ve got our hot cocoa. Here. Is anybody ready for a story? Can grandpa read it? You bet. I would be honored. ‘Twas the night before christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.” So that charity work you’re doing… mom, I really don’t want to argue with you on christmas eve. Well, then santa came early for you because I was just gonna say… that I love that you’re doing what makes you happy and that you love. And I’m so proud of you.

[ Singsongy voice ] Welcome back! There’s no place I would rather be.

[ Normal voice ] Mm…

…proclaim

“christ is born in bethlehem”

ah, ah, ah

[ Knock on door ] I’ll get it.

“Glory to the newborn spencer. Merry christmas.

King”

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good morning, doc. Merry Christmas E oh oh. Bye.

Wow. Strawberries and whipped cream breakfast in bed. I think you’re spoiling me. You deserve bed so much more. It looks really beautiful. Thank you. You toss and turned all night. Oh, I hope I didn’t keep you awake. I’m not worried about you. So talk to.

Last night at the chapel and when the explosion happened before I even had time to process what happened? I was thinking about, so about someone about.

Lucy’s been known to have God in churches. And then, um, I woke up this morning and I realized that she’s living here with us and we are all just pretending we’ve got this charade going on, pretending that everything is fine and normal and. Something about it being Christmas makes it even worse. I just, I don’t, I don’t understand what’s going on with her.

Mm-hmm. and why Brady is going along with it. Yeah. Yeah. Why is that? Well, you know, I, I do feel like I got a little closer to her once I, I told her that you and I got in a big fight. It didn’t get us. And I’m, I am not sure how much more of this I can take neither doc, because when I was making nice to her and I was telling her so much a great big heart, she had my arms and my hands were tremon.

Cause all I could think about was doing was putting them around her throat. Now, if I am that close to throttling, Kristen, I can only imagine what Brady feels like.

Morning sunshine. Well, again, no,

no. As having such high hopes that this would be a start of a Christmas East of Kristen, just because it’s Christmas doesn’t take away from the fact that you are still blackmailing. And that you have the lives of three women that you have threatened and, and they’ve been through enough. Okay? Those three women actually owe me their lives.

Why can’t you see it? From my point of view? Brady. Huh? I, I snatched them from the jaws of death. And everyone in this house, except for Rachel, treats me like an interloper. And that is the thanks I get.

Ej. Hi. Do you, uh, do you feel out for some breakfast? Uh, yeah. Thank you. Oh my God, look at the time. I should have been up by now Holly. And I thought it was best for you to get a good night’s sleep, but it’s Christmas Eve and she’s having a great time down in the kitchen helping with Christmas cookies.

Thank you for looking out for her. Thank you again for all of this. You’re welcome. Um, just now, just before I knocked, I heard you cry in your sleep. A nightmare. Sorry, Nicole. You were just in a church where a bomb went off. Don’t apologize for having a nightmare. Would you like to talk about it?

I don’t. I don’t remember. Here’s a shot in the. Was it about Eric?

Oh, so you’re awake. It’s about time. I’m officially unemployed. I can sleep in as long as I like. There’s coffee. You might need it before I, I share with you what I just read online. What? Tell me,

look, I dunno how to break this deal. Your mother was in an explosion last night. Nicole too. You ran a church. I know. You’re fine. You just showed up at my doorstep last night and didn’t even say a thing about it. We had other things on our minds.

Hey, good morning. Good morning. Merry Christmas Eve. What’s that? Oh, she is so cute. Chanel’s first Christmas course. I wasn’t there for Lonnie’s. Here you go. Thanks.

I’m not doing crying over Christmas pass. Oh, you’re not gonna help a damn thing. What’s that? Chanel and Allie made you a box of Christmas cookies. Oh, that’s very sweet. But why did they send them here? I’ll be outta here in a couple of hours. Oh, so the, so when did Bell schedule the bell hearing? Hearing what time?

There is not going to be a hearing sweetheart. Not today.

Knew what she was doing by stalling. So the court adjourned yesterday till after the holidays. I’m so sorry.

So what? Ho, ho, ho. Merry Christmas to me.

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

I know this is a disappointment, but not a surprise. Oh, I have faith in Bell, but that Melinda Trask, she’s just pure evil. Making me Miss Christmas with my family. Outta pure spite. Well, I’m not, I’m not gonna just sit here and do nothing. Do you, do you have that statement? I had Stephanie write up announcing that I’d be stepping down, won’t be sworn in as.

Ah, you know, it, it, it still needs work. I I, I think we should wait until after the new year. Abraham. Abraham, I see right through you. I know what you’re doing. You’re stalling cuz you don’t want me to do it. But this is the only way to guarantee that you stay on as mayor and to share that. That’s all I want for Christmas.

Paul. You don’t need to do any of that. Abraham. I want that statement. Put out this.

Sloan Peterson, she’s gonna have a revenge on me after all.

Hmm. So this Ava person, she blew up an entire church, just a secret revenge on EJ Derro. Apparently sound sounds like my type of gout,

Too soon. Yeah. Well, she was ready for innocent people to die. Right. You’re right. You did say your mom was okay. All right. Yeah, she’s fine. She did tell me that Nicole was hurt. What did you do? What made me remember when we’re hurt and how bad we can be for each other when she was horrible to Jada. And what did I do when I found out she was hurt?

I ran over the hospital as fast as I could to see if she was alright. I mean, what am I thinking?

Seeing Eric at the hospital last night was unexpected, you know, with how he ended things. Of course, he went to the hospital, he’s guilty. He knows he was wrong. That woman didn’t have an abortion because you decided to have a conversation with her,

but don’t read too much into last night’s either. Probably some vestigial reflex from his time as a priest because the man who made those horrible accusations to your face is not pining for you. The speed with which she jumped in the bed with that sleazy lawyer. I should tell you that.

Thanks for reminding me. Eric has moved on. Let him

Yeah, you right,

you’re right. It is awful that Marlena hasn’t thanked you for saving her life. But then again, um, she doesn’t know that you saved her life because we couldn’t tell her that you saved her life because then she would find out that the only reason you did it was to get yourself into her house. Okay? That doesn’t change the fact that she is alive, thanks to me, and you might wanna think about how you talk to me.

Oh, because she is gonna need another dose, which will keep her alive, and maybe you’ve forgotten. But I am the only person who knows where that lifesaving orchid is. Mommy, what’s an orchid? And why are they lifesaving?

And God, the closest I got with Kristen. Right after I insisted that she was just such a good person at heart somehow or other that that got her, I mean, she genuinely seemed moved by that, which of course made my skin crawl. But before I could get any further of that conversation, she had to go pick up Rachel.

Well, we can’t afford to lose a momentum that we’ve gotten now, and especially now with things being, I think, a little more urgent. What’s this supposed to mean? I was talking to Sister Mary Maira. She said that Brady kissed her. Fortunately what. Apparently he thought that it was Kristen in disguise and he was going to call her out on it.

Okay. Okay. So how does that make things more urgent? Well, because I think Brady has always had feelings for Kristen and, and they continue and now they’re living under the same roof and they’re helping their raise Rachel together. I think this clock is ticking. Oh, well sweetie, um, orchids are these beautiful flowers and some scientists, they make ’em into medicine.

Isn’t that amazing? Then why are you and daddy arguing about them? Oh, no, no, no, no. I was just telling your mommy how much I, I wanted to get one for Christmas. I, you know, a special one. I thought getting one would be almost life changing. What I really want for Christmas is for you and mommy to get back together forever.

Oh, so what does Daddy say about that?

You haven’t touched your breakfast. Sorry. Don’t be, Sylvia said Your close call at church is still weighing on you. Yeah, for sure. So I think you might need something to get your mind off church explosions and the suddenly promiscuous Saint Eric, that’s not fair. Sorry it slipped out. But I think I might have the diversion.

That will do the trick. What are you doing? I, I, I remember patience is a virtue, not that you are a especially. Excuse me, that’s not me talking. It’s the expert in the field. This is your aunt sister Mary Moy wrote with a warning about your friend, that bombastic blonde beep. Now I’m on a plane about to leave and I think the Lord above that, no one was seriously hurt yesterday, but you caused this by inviting that fornicating harlet to Susan’s.

I go think for a minute that God didn’t notice her presence in his house. That explosion was a warning Elvis. And if you do not he it. I fear for your mortal soul . Your mortal soul. . You’re kidding. That was awesome. I’ve never big hauled a. Before you know what I should do? I should get a tattoo. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. even may have planted the bomb, but uh, apparently you are the real reason why we’re almost blown to kingdom. Come try. Hardly like me. We don’t mess around . No. You know

you’re right on the money. Ej. You know what? Being blamed for almost killing everyone is exactly the distraction I needed. No, I thought it might be Harley. Who? You’re Harley. No, you are. I would be fine if we never spent another minute dwelling on one of your exes, but sing as you were an ex priest. I think it’s okay to have compassion for someone who nearly died.

I know how I sound, but getting her outta my head isn’t something I want. Something I need. Hmm. Well it just so happens since satisfying your needs has become one of my specialties, yeah. I can always use more practice.

I think you’re rushing into this. I, you still haven’t talked to Chanel and she and Ali have, they spent so much time on your campaign. Well, Chanel will understand Allie too. This is about protecting you. Something. I distinctly remember being part of my vows almost exactly six months ago. I still think you’re rushing into this.

Abraham, I love you for what you’re doing, and I wish there was another way out, but there. Sorry. Gimme your phone and I will tell Stephanie myself to release that statement. All right. I, I still think though, that Chanel deserves to hear this before it hits the wires

in Africa.

I smoke and drink. He’s already did not get a good night’s sleep. Well, he’s not the only one. I can’t stop thinking about how much I hate Sloane Peterson for what she did to mama. Hey, you and me both, or Colleen and it’s Christmas Eve and and now she’s probably gonna have to spend the entire holiday in jail.

According to Abe, I’m the one who should be in behind bars, not her. Let’s go. What? Remember when you were stuck there for Thanksgiving and we brought you dinner? Oh, we should cook for Ma Omar. We are going make the best Christmas Eve dinner ever. . Oh, I take it. You think this is a good idea? Oh, I will show you how my fishing

Come here. Listen, I know that’s what you want. I do. I do. And you have to know that I, I, there’s nothing more. I want them to make you happy, sweetie. But you need to trust that, that we are doing what we think is best for you. And it’s only because we love you more than anything in this whole big room.

We’ll make this Turkey croquet. Mm-hmm. and. Ooh, this scallop potatoes and this cream spinach. Mama is gonna have so much food. She is not gonna want to eat for a month.

whoever it is. I’m just gonna text them back and tell them we’re busy.

What’s wrong? It’s from Abe Sloan Peterson has done it again.

I can’t believe it’s already Christmas Eve. Do you have any plans? Uh, to be honest, I stopped making plans and I lost both my parents too. And my brother, he lives a million miles away. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are just like any other day for me. I’m sorry. It’s a shame. My mom, she does a great Christmas Eve party at her place and tomorrow my dad hosts Christmas at at the pub.

Oh, not interested.

We don’t take this the wrong way, but is that really us? I mean, this is fun, but like we’re keeping this low key. Right? I just suggested that I take you home to meet my family pretty much. I’m sorry. It’s forced to happen. No, I thank you for worrying about my holiday, but I got my Christmas wish this.

Paulina Price is behind bars.

All the major news outlets will have that statement within the hour.

It’s going to be a long time before I can make this sacrifice up to you. You can make it up to me each and every day just by being you. What the most? Wonderful, wonderful man I have ever met

I, I just don’t wanna leave you here alone tonight. I’ll commit a minor crime and they can lock me up in the adjoining cell . Oh. Oh, wow. That’s bell, huh? Well, it can’t be about bail. I wonder what she wants. Huh? Let’s find out. God. Hello, Mel. What’s up? Oh, yeah, of course. All right. She wants to talk to you.

Mm-hmm. , Mel, what is it, honey?

What? What You please repeat that.

So you think Brady still has feelings for Kristen?

It’s a very strong attraction and, and we know that he’s fighting those feelings, but we can’t afford what might happen if you lose that battle area. Right. We’re just gonna have to pivot. We’re gonna have to come up with a, with a new way to find out what she’s fighting. I’m a little afraid that she might see right through us.

In fact, I’m, I’m already worried that she saw through what you were doing yesterday. No, I’m not. It’s like you said, Kristen’s completely along. Yeah. She may be anxious to reel Brady back in, but when you are as isolated as she is, It’s important a storm. She’ll take the first friend that comes along. Do you know what’s in here?

I don’t know. Oh, you come on. You, you don’t wanna guess a doll. All right. You know what? I have an idea. We are gonna go down to town Square and we are gonna look at all the pretty decorations. , daddy? Mm-hmm. . Can you come? Honey? I, I, I really have to work. Uh, well, maybe you can, uh, meet us for lunch after work.

Yes. Yes, I can do this. Yay, Susan Daddy. Ask you soon. All right. You know what? I want you to go grab your coat.

You’re breaking her heart. You know that too, because I didn’t want to go to the Horton Town Square with you because she tells you what she wants most in the world, and you just pour water all over. Now, I know you think I’m constantly working you, but maybe you could just stop hating me so much and love your daughter just a little bit more

I absolutely love this voicemail. You have to send it to me so that way whenever I feel things start to feel a little crazy, I can be reminded of what real crazy is and to think we didn’t get enough crazy from Ava. Oh. I wonder if that breakdown she had at the hospital that got her sent to Bayview was real.

You don’t? I have my doubts, but either way, I’m happy to share the Good Sister’s voicemail

while we’re at it. Do you have a similar fix for my guilty feelings? What do you have to feel Guilty. Besides putting you in harm’s way, my, um, my horrible miscalculation about Ava helped to lead to the disaster that was yesterday. My mother is dead cuz of the way I handled her kidnapping, and I almost lost you.

I could hardly blame you if you never wanted to speak to me again. E. Stop it. Okay. Look, despite what your auntie says, this was not my fault. This was not your fault. It was a hundred percent Ava’s fault. Hey, don’t beat yourself up over it for one more minute.

So your mom really just gave up on being governor? Yeah. She wanted to protect Abe, which I get, but this, this whole thing just seems so unfair and it keeps getting worse and worse.

I’ll get it.

Oh, hey Abe. I just got your text. I can’t believe Mama’s doing this. Well, I tried to talk her. Hm. Nobody’s ever talked Mama outta anything. Come on in. Allie and I decided to make Christmas Eve dinner and take it down to Mama. Why aren’t you coming in? Well, this is why.

I am sure Pauline is feeling very sorry for herself behind bars this holiday. I wonder if she or her precious little daughter ever thought once about all the holidays. They ruined for me.

I suppose. You think I should have just turned the other cheek? Hmm? I think what you went through was awful. I know you guys are. And I don’t expect you to come and like fight my battles for me or anything. I just, I just gotta vent every now and then, you know, Sloan, I remember that. You’ve listened to me.

Ran more than once. Let’s change the subject guys. What are we doing for this New Year’s Eve? Sorry, I have to take this Peterson.

Thanks for letting me know. Is everything okay? Everything is not okay. I’m sorry to kick you out like this, but I have to go deal with something right now.

That’s right. Mama is all over. Oh, did you hear me? Mama? Chanel and I are free. They weren’t going to extradite us. Y Yes mama. I think it was your prayers. That did it. Uh uh. Mama. Mama, I have to go. Um, I’ll call you later for a nice long chat. Yes, mama. I will get down on my knees and thank the Lord. I love you too, mama.

She was so scared for us. Wow. It is like you told her, it is all over now, so you’re free. You’re really free. We both are. Bell went to London and challenged our extradition over every technical issue she could find and won. Wait, so so the charges are dismissed. No, and and trash can’t hold her anymore cuz she’s not facing extradition.

So, , neither, neither of you are . This whole nightmare is officially over. Oh, thank God. Oh God. He, amen to that . You know, maybe we should just take a step back. Um, is it all at all possible that we have overcomplicated this whole thing? Okay. What if you were to tell Kristen that we had a, a, a, a terrible fight again, and that, that our marriage is on the verge of falling apart?

You know, to be honest with you, honey, I don’t think I can pull this off.

You had no idea how hard it was for me to make Kristen believe that I was upset with you the first time.

Come on, honey. It’s some holidays. It’s my favorite time of the year, and I almost lost you twice this year. The explosion yesterday and earlier this year when Orpheus set his sights on you. So honey, the last thing I want to do is to tell Kristen or anybody else that you and I are fighting or I’m disappointed with you, even if it’s not true, because Doc, all you do is make me happy.

You, you make me proud, you, , you make me feel like the luckiest man on the face of.

You know, as much as I love the strawberry cream tradition, I would give it all up in a heartbeat just to hear you say that to me again. I love you, baby. Oh.

I get it. So I’m a bad dad now because I won’t make a big speech about how I can’t live without you. Oh my God, Brady, that is not quite what said. It’s beyond. It’s beyond hypocritical. Cuz you tell me to put my family first while you play with her grandmother’s health. I love that little girl with my whole heart.

But I love Marlena too. And that’s the only reason why you are in this house. Okay. I’m ready. You aren’t still talking about orchids are.

Hey, good to see you. Hey, Merry Christmas. Same to you. Actually, I thought I’d stop by and see how mom was fuming. She’s okay. Dad’s been keeping a pretty close eye on her, so it’s. Actually, that’s not the only reason why I’m here.

I meant what I said about Kristen’s blackmail. It’s up to us to put a stop to wear. That means we need to come up with a plan right now. Look at that tree. It’s beautiful. Oh, you got that right . Daddy would’ve loved it. Yeah. Oh, she came and joined us. I know you do. Sweet. But never ever give up on your wishes and dreams because they’re the most important thing we have.

You’re right, it’s Christmas Eve. We don’t need to be talking about my guilt. That plate must be called by now. Lemme grab you another Oh, no, no, no, no. It’s fine. Look, I just have to learn how to start eating with my left hand. It’s great. Oh, gosh. . No. Can I, can I help? Can I help with that? No, no, no, no. I’m fine.

I am not a child. I can do this on my own. . No, no. I’m sorry. This is just ridiculous and embarrassing. Here, let me, let me, but I warn you that I’m gonna pull out all the tricks that I used on my children when they wouldn’t eat either. So I’m not eating. No, I’m not eating anything. No. Here we go. I’m not doing it.

Ow. Nicole, pay attention. Here comes the airplane open. Hi. Here we go.

Yes ma’am. Here you are,

This is divine. I just want you all to know that, um, that I realize something important. Being governor means moving to the Capitol, and I love Salem . I love the people in it with one or two exceptions. Of course. this beautiful, wonderful town. This is where we. Here. Here, , , and come hell or high water. We’re going to focus on all our many blessings and have a very Merry Christmas

Merry.

That was delicious.

And uh, now, now,

now I think I should get ready for the day, , because I haven’t even seen Holly and I’ve got a wrapped presence and plant prizes and. I can’t do any of that without a shower. Have you considered what a challenge showering will be with your ominous? Good point. Mm-hmm. Mm. I could, I could give you a hand

Yeah, sure you could. But I think you’ve helped enough already today, so thank you. You are loss. Your loss. Yeah. Oh my God,

Nicole. Uh, I know the circumstances for you coming here. Were not ideal for you, but I am happy that you and Holly are here for Christmas. This house needs you to brighten it up and you have done so. Spectacularly

well. Finally, the Christmas miracle. We have all been waiting

What are you doing here? You miserable. Excuse for a human. You must be feeling good about yourselves. Two people are dead and here you are enjoying a holiday toast like nothing happened. Well, you may be managed to escape prosecution. But you will pay for what you did to my family. If it’s the last thing I do count on it.

I thought we were urgently making a plan to get rid of Kristen. Yeah, knock. Some things are urgent, other things for even more.

I know how much your wish about Daddy and me means to you, and I can’t make any promises, but I don’t want you to give up on us. Hmm. And maybe we’ll both get what we want most someday, but I want you to remember until then, no one, and I mean no one is more important to your daddy and me than you are, sweetheart

Flip, brother, if you got any good ideas, I’m all ears. Good because on my way over here I saw this beautiful family of three in the square admiring the decorations and you can just feel them being together how much it meant to them. That’s nice. What’s your point? My point is that we need to hit Kristen where she lives.

If we plan on getting that orchid back from her. We need ton your daughter.

See all that butter. That’s what makes it taste good. And the powdered sugar makes ’em pretty. Yeah, just like snowballs, right? See what’s perfect for this time of year. We always make these for Christmas. So why are they called Mexican wedding cookies? Well, that is a great question. I. Actually, I really don’t know, but in Mexico they’re called means power.

Ho, ho, ho. Merry Christmas, Santa. You’re not Santa.

That is terrific, James. Thank you. Really appreciate it. Hey, I know you had to pull some serious strings to get this done,

I will. All right. Hey, take care and thanks.

[ Relaxing music ]

Taylor: Steffy, hey. What is going on? I– I woke up to– to security and– and a text from you.

Steffy: Yeah. I– I’m so sorry, I should’ve called you, but yesterday, I was just so shaken up.

Taylor: What is, baby? Tell me. I’m here.

Steffy: It’s a lot.

Carter: Hey, you said it’s an emergency?

Steffy: Yes, it is.

Carter: What is?

Steffy: Look, I’m telling you this, not only that you’re our coo, but you’re also a member of the family and you… you might be targeted.

Carter: Targeted?

Steffy: Yes. Sheila. She’s here in los angeles.

Carter: Okay, steffy. I know you and finn have your theory.

Steffy: No, no. It’s not a theory, carter. I saw her with my own eyes.

Taylor: What?

Carter: You saw sheila?

Steffy: Yes!

Taylor: Wh– she’s alive?

Steffy: Sheila carter is alive.

Brooke: Just when I felt like we could breathe.

Katie: Sheila shows up.

Brooke: I was so relived when they said that she was gone.

Katie: I mean, we all were. I mean, they’re going to find her. They have to.

Brooke: Just to think that she’s out there somewhere. I don’t want to think about sheila. Let’s talk about you. You said you were worried about bill.

Katie: Yeah, I am. He just seems so lost and angry. I’m just– I’m worried that he’s slipping back into his old ways.

Brooke: Sorry to hear that. I mean, when he came over to my house, when ridge and taylor were getting married.

Katie: Oh, you mean when you turned him down and he immediately gave me the same “I need you” pitch?

Brooke: Yeah.

Katie: Yeah.

Brooke: That was really strange. I mean, that was so unlike bill. I can understand why you’re moving on. Who would ever even entertain being with him after that?

Katie: Well, I guess years of pushing people away makes for a lonely existence.

Brooke: Well, he has his sons.

Katie: Yeah, but will’s at school. Wyatt and liam have their own lives.

Brooke: You.

Katie: He’s will’s dad and I will always care about him, but that’s kind of as far as it goes these days. I think there’s always this piece of me that really held onto the hope that things might work out, but not so much anymore. You know what? Life is too short. It is too short to waste time being unhappy.

Brooke: Are you okay?

Katie: Yeah. Yes. It’s just– it is my… my follow up for my annual cardiology check up.

Brooke: What?

Katie: Yeah.

Brooke: You do that always in the spring. I asked you about it, you said you’re okay.

Katie: I am. I’m fine. Been fine. You know, it’s just– it was so busy. Will being at school and hope’s fashion show and just, you know, a million other things.

Brooke: Mm. Is that really why? Or were you scared to go?

Taylor: I can’t believe this. Are– are you okay? Did she try to come after you?

Steffy: No. No, she had on some kind of wig and a mask.

Carter: A mask? Okay, I thought it was farfetched when you told us she cut off her toe and faked her death, but how is this real?

Taylor: Because she will go to any length for her own survival.

Steffy: Including shooting me and her own son.

Carter: How did you find her?

Steffy: I accidentally bumped into her at il giardino.

Carter: Wait, wait. She went back to the scene of the crime?

Steffy: Yes. But she was in this disguise. And I looked at her feet and I noticed that she was missing a toe and when I locked eyes with her, I realized it was sheila, but I was so stunned and in the moment that she ended up taking off. And then, we called the police and they said that they caught some footage of her nearby the restaurant. Forensic confirmed it was her with facial recognition. Underneath that disguise, it was sheila. The monster we all know and fear.

Katie: To be honest, I really don’t wanna talk about this right now.

Brooke: Okay.

Katie: I– you know what? I’m fine. I am. I’m going to this checkup, I can handle whatever the doctor says. And I– I don’t wanna be harsh, it’s just that these– these things just bring up a lot for me.

Brooke: I understand. I’ll go with you.

Katie: No, no. I’m fine.

Brooke: Katie.

Katie: No, really. I’m okay. It’s not my first rodeo. I can do this on my own.

Brooke: You don’t have to. I know you. You’re worried and you’re stressed out and I wanna be there for you.

Katie: You are. You always are. You and donna both. You’re always there for me, it’s just… these things, every year, it just brings everything to the surface and I feel like– like it was yesterday almost where I was laying in that– that hospital room and everyone was surrounding me and hoping that I would survive and what storm did. You know, what he gave me so that I could live and I have. I have lived. I have this amazing career, I have this amazing son. You know, I… my brother’s heart is beating inside of me and it’s a miracle. It’s a miracle. But we all know that I’m living on borrowed time. We really had our hands full

Carter: So, sheila’s been here this whole time, running around in a wig and a mask?

Taylor: And I can’t believe no one recognized her. Wigs always look so fake. I mean, she could’ve been anywhere. She could’ve hurt one of us.

Steffy: Or hayes.

Taylor: Oh, steffy.

Steffy: We had our guards down because we thought sheila was dead.

Carter: Okay, so you said the forensic team were able to tell she was wearing a disguise.

Steffy: Baker confirmed it. Showed us side-by-side imaging. 98% match when comparing her bone structure and iris scans to her mug shot.

Taylor: Honey, you know, I’m so glad that you and finn went forward with this hunch about her, but please tell me the police have leads.

Steffy: Well, they found some footage of her going into a car and we were able to pull the license plate number.

Carter: That’s huge.

Steffy: Yeah, it is. We were with baker when he got a call from an officer and he said that he found that car. And then, he put his sirens on and that’s when sheila fled. It was a car chase and somehow, she ended up escaping.

Taylor: Oh, my god. She got away, of course.

Carter: How?

Steffy: I don’t know. She just– she hopped the parkway. We thought we had her, but we didn’T.

Carter: So, what do we do now?

Steffy: We have to stay vigilant. Sheila’s out there somewhere, but the police think that she’s gonna stay in a certain radius, west of beverly hills.

Taylor: Great, which is where most of us live.

Carter: Why? I mean, she breaks out of prison, she fakes her death, she escapes the cops, why is she still here? Why is she still in L.A.?

Steffy: Because she’s obsessed with my family, but that is her weakness. I mean, she is an idiot, staying her in los angeles because we are going to find her and when we do, we are going to put her behind bars for the rest of her miserable life.

Brooke: May I?

Katie: Oh.

Brooke: Storm gave you the ultimate gift: His heart. He loves you so much. I’m sure he’s looking down on you right now, just so proud of you, just like we all are. You bring so much joy and so much light into the world. I’m just sorry you had to go through all of this.

Katie: I’m not– I’m not dwelling on it. I’m really not. I mean, you know what? This is going to be an amazing holiday. I’m gonna go to eric’s and I’m going to spend christmas with my sisters and with all my friends and that’s what I’m gonna focus on. Just being with the people I love and the people who– who make me feel loved and make me feel good. I just need to get this doctor’s appointment out of the way.

Brooke: Okay. I’m going with you.

Katie: No, no you’re not. I just– I really wanna just do this by myself.

Brooke: Katie.

Katie: No, brooke.

Brooke: Oh. I just love you so much, you know that? And I don’t know what I did to deserve someone like you. You’re just so loving and thoughtful in my life, but I really am grateful. I am. You’re a very special person. I knew that since the day you were born. I did. And you deserve to live and you will. I’m sholeh and I lost 75 pounds with golo.

Carter: Hey.

Brooke: Hey, carter.

Carter: Have you seen katie? She wasn’t in her office and she’s not answering her phone.

Brooke: She’s probably still at her doctor’s appointment.

Carter: Doctor’s appointment?

Brooke: Oh, I’m sorry. I mean, she didn’t tell you? I thought she would have because you guys have been getting so close.

Carter: No, she didn’t say anything at all. What kind of an appointment is it?

Brooke: It’s her annual regarding her heart transplant.

Carter: Is she okay?

Brooke: Honestly? No. I mean, she’s just scared. She’s never sure how the test results are gonna come back. I wanted to go with her, but she insisted on going alone.

Carter: Well, she shouldn’t be by herself.

Brooke: I agree.

[ Katie sighing ]

Nurse: Hello, ms. Logan. I’m dr. Buckingham’s nurse. I’m so sorry to keep you waiting. Dr. Buckingham’s running behind. She’ll be with you as soon as he can.

Katie: Thank you.

Taylor: Hey, is everything okay?

Steffy: Yeah, just checking in on finn.

Taylor: God, I can’t imagine what he must be going through right now.

Steffy: He’s trying to stay strong for the kids and me. I mean, not in a million years would he think that his mother is some sort of murderous psychopath.

Taylor: I know, honey. God, I just– you know what? This is all going to be over soon, it is.

Steffy: I know. Sheila will get caught. She will. I just– I don’t want to think about her right now. I just need a moment.

Taylor: Yes, okay. Let’s not– let’s not talk about it.

Steffy: There is something I wanna tell you. Like, you know how much I wanted you and dad back together, but not at the cost of your own self-worth.

Taylor: I know. Look, your dad and I will always love each other, but it’s– it’s– it feels really good just to let go, you know?

Steffy: Yeah.

Taylor: Yeah.

Steffy: You and brooke on the same side. I never thought I’d see the day.

Taylor: Right?

Steffy: I wonder what’s going through dad’s mind.

Taylor: Oh, when we told him, he– he, you know, he– he played it cool, you know? But you could tell he was not ready for it at all. Steffy, it felt so good. He did apologize to us for– for hurting both of us and for not being honest, but, you know, it’s um– you know, I’ll– I’ll always love your dad, I really will, but it was– it was good to love myself more, you know? And brooke and i both agreed that it’s time for us to be role models, you know? To our family. To you, to hope, to our grandkids.

Steffy: You’ve always been a great role model, mom. Come on.

Taylor: Well, thank you. I mean, I definitely made my fair share of mistakes.

Steffy: Okay, stop. Please stop. Look, you can’t be hard on yourself. I mean, I was the one who pushed you towards dad, wanted you two to reunite, but I’m not gonna do that anymore. I really need to focus on my husband and my kids and not your relationship, so I– I am so sorry.

Taylor: Oh, god, honey. Please don’t apologize. Seriously. You just wanted to see your parents together. There’s nothing wrong with that.

Steffy: What about the wedding? I feel like I let you down when I objected.

Taylor: Nope. You told the truth. That’s all you did.

Steffy: Yeah, but it wasn’t mine to tell. Maybe I should’ve waited for you to tell dad about thomas when you thought the time was right. Listen, I’m done settling. Because this is my secret.

Taylor: Steffy.

Steffy: Look, I know what you’re gonna say, that it wasn’t my fault.

Taylor: Nope.

Steffy: I have to tell you, I am really, really proud of you for standing up for yourself. And I’m kind of proud of brooke too, believe it or not.

Taylor: Yes, yes, yes. And steffy, you did the right thing. I mean, I– I couldn’t do it at the time, you know? I admire you and you are everything a mother could ever want in a daughter.

Taylor: I love you so much, steffy.

Steffy: I love you too. Hey, we’re in this together. And there is nothing I wouldn’t do for you. Nothing.

Brooke: You listen to me. You can be angry, you can be mad, you can feel robbed or you can feel like this is a second lease on life. It is your choice. Do you really want to live with all of that negativity? Do you? Or do you wanna embrace life and live it to the fullest?

[ Door opening ]

Katie: Carter, what, uh… what are you doing here?

Carter: I spoke to brooke and she told me about your appointment.

[ Katie sighing ]

Katie: You didn’t have to come. I– I’m a big girl. I know what I’m walking into every time I’m in a doctor’s office. I– I understand the reality of my situation, that’s what I told brooke.

[ Katie sighing ] See? That. That’s what I don’t want. I don’t want you feeling sorry for me. I can do this alone. I’ve been doing this alone for a long time.

Carter: I don’t feel sorry for you. I’m in awe of you. You have so much courage, so much strength and i understand you’ve been going at it alone for a while now and it breaks my heart. You’ve given so much to everyone else, let me give to you. Let me be there for you. You can lean on me. I won’t break.

Grace: I am so sorry to keep you waiting. Um…

Katie: It’s okay. That’s all right. We understand.

Grace: Carter.

Carter: Dr. Buckingham.

Katie: Um, carter’s just here for support. I hope that’s not a problem.

Grace: Of course not. Paris has moved on and so have I.

Katie: Uh, do you have my test results?

Grace: Yes, I do.

Katie: Go ahead, doctor. Tell me what my results say. . . . . .

Young & The Restless Update

Y&R logo

Update written by Barbara

At Jabot, Jack firmly urges Kyle and Summer that when they get the go-ahead word from him, they need to get Harrison up to the cabin and into his grandmother’s arms as soon as they can. He has a plan for getting Jeremy out of Genoa City and if it goes smoothly, Jeremy will be out of their lives for good.

In Tucker’s suite, with Audra hiding in the bathroom after Ashley knocks on the door, he finds himself scrambling to figure out what to tell Ashley. Thinking fast on his feet, he lies and tells her that he had to take another shower because he had worked out at the hotel gym. He tries to distract her by telling her how wonderful the gym is.

After she turns down his offer to come in for a drink, he encourages her to go upstairs to the Glam Club and gives Audra the all-clear to come out of the bathroom. She tells Tucker that he seems to be getting what he wants both personally and professionally. He lets her know that she will get the reward she deserves if she continues her association with him.

While they’re waiting to hear from Jack, Summer and Kyle decide to open up one of each other’s Christmas gifts. Summer feels badly about her fight with her mother and how she had to fire her and Kyle is optimistic that she will be able to get through it.

At the Glam Club, things are strained between Noah and Allie, but after they talk about the situation with Audra and smooth things over, Allie tells him she realizes that he only has eyes for her. They kiss, discuss their families’ Christmas traditions and make plans to spend part of the day together.

Tucker joins Ashley at the club and becomes a sounding board for her to vent about how she and Jack cannot get along at all because of Diane.

Over at Crimson Lights, fresh on the heels of Sharon’s uncomfortable run-in with Tucker, Audra comes in and introduces herself to Sharon. Sharon is quick to mention that she knows who Audra is from seeing her in the coffeehouse previously and is aware that she and Noah are no longer dating. Audra assures Sharon that she knows Noah has no lingering feelings for her and that she won’t cause any trouble for him and Allie.

Chance comes into Crimson Lights, all amped up about cracking a case regarding a man working at the mall as an elf who was responsible for thefts. Audra is sitting at a table sipping her holiday beverage with an amused look on her face as she listens to his conversation with Sharon about it.

Sharon gets a phone call from Faith in Switzerland and steps onto the patio to answer. Audra warms up to Chance, who joins her at the table, and they have a lighthearted conversation. After awhile, he excuses himself and goes over to Sharon to thank her for her support and good advice.

Jack shows up at Jeremy’s suite with a briefcase that has $500,000 in cash inside. He points out to Jeremy that his is twice the amount of money Diane had on her when Jeremy was arrested.

Jack and Jeremy have a heated exchange about the money, which results in Jack getting up in Jeremy’s face and telling him to name his price. Jeremy deflects and asks if Jack is involved with Diane. Jack is insistent that the situation is all about his son and his grandson.

Jeremy hesitates on Jack’s money offer and tells him it’s more than just the cash. He insists on meeting with Diane one more time and negotiating with her because he and Diane are on a questions-answers basis. He tells Jack that after he gets answers from Diane, he will move on, looks over at the briefcase, and adds “with the money, of course.”

After some back and forth talk, Jack tells Jeremy that he thinks he might know where he can find Diane, but he remains firm and unflinching about Jeremy moving on after meeting with her. He tells him that after he has one last chat with Diane, he must take the money and it’s over, “none of us will ever have to see you again.”

Jack: Something troubling you?

Ashley: Why would you ask me that?

Jack: I’m very familiar with that look.

Ashley: Why are you talking to me? I thought after our last conversation, you washed your hands of me.

Jack: I won’t pretend that I’m not still furious at you for being part of that unholy trinity that drove diane out of town. I’m not sure what I walked in on here, but I’d like to think that what you’re feeling right now has something to do with regret.

Ashley: No. Not even a little bit.

Tucker: Sharon. Hey. I have been in here so many times since I moved back to town. How is it that I have not seen you?

Sharon: I guess I’ve just been lucky.

Tucker: [ Laughs ] I guess my coffee’s gonna come with a little spice today, is it?

Sharon: I’ve heard that you picked up right where you left off — crashing summer and kyle’s vow renewal, circling all of the genoa city businesses like a vulture.

Tucker: Whereas your ambitions seem to have grown considerably more modest since you and I were running newman together.

Sharon: Oh, you mean back when you manipulated me into being your puppet?

Tucker: Ah, don’t sell yourself short. You had a great mind for business. Seems a shame to waste it on finding the best deal for sugar packets.

Sharon: Well, it is very satisfying work, for your information, running a place that serves the community. I have created a space that everyone feels welcome in, including you.

Tucker: I know. I love it here. It was the perfect spot for me and ashley to warm up yesterday.

Sharon: Don’t tell me you’re gonna suck her back in again.

Elena: Nate!

[ Laughs ]

Nate: It is so good to see you.

Elena: Ah, you scared me. You’re back from L.A. When did you get here?

Nate: Uh, just got home a couple of minutes ago. I tried calling you.

Elena: Ugh, it was nonstop at memorial. Every emergency you can imagine. But it was actually a good thing because I didn’t have to think about how much I missed you. How was your trip?

Nate: It was amazing. I met so many great people. They were giving me the star treatment everywhere victoria and I went.

Elena: As they should. You are the brand-new ceo of newman media.

Nate: It was amazing, you know, walking into all those meetings, having the faith and trust of all these movers and shakers. Everyone — and I mean everyone — at newman’s los angeles office was so welcoming.

Elena: That must be so reassuring. You are in the right place doing the right thing.

Nate: It was incredible. So much to do and so little time.

Elena: Ah. I wish I could have been there to see it.

Nate: Next time. I couldn’t wait to get back and tell you all about it.

Elena: Oh! What happened with the meeting with the k-pop star?

Nate: Victoria likes him, but whether we can make a collaboration happen remains to be seen.

Elena: Well, if anyone can do it, it is my brilliant boyfriend.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] This all feels so natural, like I finally found where I’m supposed to be, where my ideas are heard and respected. I’m gonna pretend like I didn’t see that yawn.

Elena: I’m sorry, but I am glad that you’re back.

Nate: You’d better be.

Elena: I was recording episodes for the podcast to complete my obligations with chancellor-winters earlier, and then I spent all night covering for dr. Faulkner. And as much as I want to hear more, can it wait?

Nate: Of course. I remember how exhausting those shifts at the hospital can be.

Elena: Thank you for understanding. And you can tell me all about the rest of your trip as soon as I wake up.

Nate: Sweet dreams.

Elena: Love you.

Nate: Love you, too.

Elena: Ah.

Nate: [ Breathes deeply ]

Summer: Hey. There you are. Can I talk to you for a second?

Kyle: Um, do you mi–

Summer: Oh. Is there something more important than conferring with your creative director?

Kyle: Of course not. I’m just focused on tying up loose ends so I can send everyone home early for the holidays.

Summer: Oh, so you’re gonna be the boss with the heart of gold?

Kyle: This is how I’m building employee loyalty.

Summer: [ Chuckles ] Well, I agree with your strategy, but this is something that we need to discuss right away.

[ Knock on door ]

Victoria: Come in.

Billy: I knew I would find you here. You always work double time over the holidays to give your undivided attention to the kids.

Victoria: Yeah. Well, the work of a ceo/mom is never done. That being said, it’s obvious that you are interrupting me right now. So, is everything okay?

Billy: Everything is fine, yes, but I want to give you a heads-up. Chelsea bought johnny a christmas gift.

Victoria: Oh, did she?

Billy: She did, and I’d like you to hear me out before you make a decision.

Victoria: No. I already have. It’s out of the question. These little cups would make

provided by…

Billy: So, you’re not even willing to consider this?

Victoria: Look, I’m sure that chelsea’s intentions are good, and I support her efforts to heal herself, but requesting to spend christmas with our son — I’m sorry. It’s just — it’s going too far, billy.

Billy: She’s not trying to finagle an invitation.

Victoria: Okay, well, then what does she want from us?

Billy: She wants to give me a gift, and then you and I can decide on when we give it to johnny.

Victoria: Well, bravo for her for going through the proper channels, but I still don’t think it’s a good idea. You remember what happened the last time she tried to give him something. You didn’t accept the baby blanket in the way that she wanted, and I believe that that started her spiral.

Billy: Well, it wasn’t, okay? It wasn’t one thing.

Victoria: Well, I don’t doubt that it was a contributing factor, and I worry that — that her desire to give him something else is a sign that she’s regressing.

Billy: I think you’re — you’re blowing this out of proportion a little bit, okay? Our son is showing interest in spending more time with chelsea, and it would be wrong for us to get in the way of that.

Victoria: Well, we are his parents. It’s our job to set boundaries and limits.

Billy: Yeah. You’re right. You have a point there. Maybe you and I shouldn’t be the ones to give johnny the gift.

Victoria: Thank you, billy. I appreciate you listening to reason.

Billy: Chelsea should be the one to give it to him.

Nate: [ Clears throat ]

Audra: Mm. If isn’t newman’s most recent executive hire.

Nate: Audra charles. It’s been a long time.

Audra: Too long. I have fond memories of our dinners when I first got to town.

Nate: So much has changed since then.

Audra: I’m dying to hear the details.

Nate: Let’s just say it’s a whole new world over there.

Audra: I have a tremendous idea. We can pick up where we left off, and you can fill me in on everything you’ve been up to.

Nate: [ Chuckles ]

Tucker: Ah, thank you. Yeah, uh, ashley and I have been getting reacquainted.

[ Sniffs ] At first, she was as wary of me as you are, but I think I’m winning her over.

Sharon: And how on earth have you managed to do that?

Tucker: Uh, it hasn’t been easy. I’ve convinced her that I’m a changed man.

Sharon: Oh. Are you?

Tucker: [ Chuckling ] Yeah. I had a near-death experience recently, and, uh, it made me reevaluate my priorities. And so now I’m concentrating on those people who matter the most to me — ashley, devon, dominic.

Sharon: Hmm. Somehow I just don’t find that completely plausible.

Tucker: Based on what?

Sharon: Well, a few years ago I got my degree in psychology, and I actually…

Tucker: Did you really?

Sharon: …Work as a therapist now. Yeah, and it’s given me very good insight into people.

Tucker: Analyze me. Come on. Let’s — let’s hear it. I think it’s gonna be challenging for you.

Sharon: I don’t think that you are as complicated as you think you are.

Tucker: Mm.

Sharon: You think you’re the smartest one around, and that’s why you believe that we’re all gonna buy what you’re selling.

Tucker: Well, my car crash is a matter of public record. You could just look that up yourself.

Sharon: Well, I don’t think you’re lying about that, but real, long-lasting change — that usually doesn’t come in an instant, from one traumatic experience. It takes work, tucker.

Tucker: I’ve done the work. I spent a little time in an ashram.

Sharon: Ooh! Well, I bet that impressed ashley.

Tucker: Not really.

[ Laughs ] But I’m showing her that she’s my priority now, and I’m gonna make her dreams come true.

Sharon: Based on everything you’ve said, sounds more like you’re hoping that she will help you make your dreams come true.

Jack: Then you are wholly unrepentant about driving diane out of town.

Ashley: You are the one that should be repentant because of your actions. It was harmful and irresponsible to let diane back into our lives.

Jack: Oh, ash.

Ashley: When are you gonna get it through your head, jack? She’s playing you.

Jack: She is not. She was in real danger. She had to leave.

Ashley: Did she really?

Jack: I don’t get why it’s so hard for you to understand she would be legitimately afraid of a convicted felon who came to town looking for her.

Ashley: Would you just stop, please? I’m not naive. Quite the coincidence, isn’t it, that kyle left town on business the same day his mother leaves for parts unknown?

Jack: Don’t assume the two are connected.

Ashley: All diane kept saying since she came back to genoa city is how she regretted not having more time with kyle. So, why would she leave without saying goodbye? Didn’t make sense to me… until I started thinking, “well, maybe there wasn’t a long, emotional goodbye because she didn’t really leave.” Is that what you’re doing, jack? You’re riding to diane’s rescue, ready to save the day again? Hi, I’m karen.

Jack: Before you start accusing me of having a savior complex, how about you take a deep breath and consider the possibility that diane was so frightened of jeremy stark that she left town? Not out of just fear for herself.

Ashley: Right.

Jack: She didn’t want to put kyle and his family in danger.

Ashley: Okay. You just keep making excuses for her because she’s got you wrapped around her little finger, right?

Jack: Instead of worrying about me, how about taking responsibility for going too far? You did the wrong thing. Admit you were wrong and apologize.

Ashley: Except I’m not wrong. Diane has created this sweet little cocoon for her three favorite boys — you and kyle and harrison — where she is loved and supported and protected. She’s not gonna walk away from that, jack.

Jack: I wish you could hear yourself.

Ashley: She’s gonna keep that going for as long as she can. What’s very sad to me is that you and kyle are getting as much out of this as she is. Now, kyle I understand. He just wants a mother. But you? You’re getting her adoration, which I find particularly disgusting. So, I have a hypothesis here.

Jack: And I’m sure I’m going to hear what it is.

Ashley: Yes. Um, I think that you and kyle have created this little disappearing act for diane so you can continue to keep rewarding her duplicitous behavior in secret.

Summer: I want you to listen to this suggestion with an open mind.

Kyle: Okay.

Summer: I know how important it is to you to spend christmas with diane.

Kyle: It is something I’ve dreamed about. I’m a little embarrassed to admit it, but the little boy in me does want to relive waking up on christmas morning and seeing my mother stand there.

Summer: That is nothing to be ashamed of. Look, I understand why, after all of these years apart, you would want to spend the holidays with your mom. But do you know what my christmas dream is?

Kyle: I would like for you to tell me about it so I can try to make it come true.

Summer: You, me…

Kyle: Mm-hmm.

Summer: …And harrison all sharing christmas together. Our son deserves to be with both of his parents.

Audra: So, how is newman media treating you?

Nate: Like a rock star. It’s like night and day compared to how things were at chancellor-winters.

Audra: Mm. That sounds fantastic.

Nate: As a matter of fact, victoria and I just got back from L.A.

Audra: Huh. You went on a business trip already? How was it?

Nate: Inspiring. Exciting. I met so many people who wanted to support my vision.

Audra: Wow. That must have been electrifying.

Nate: You have no idea. It’s just an affirmation that i made the right choice.

Audra: Well, congratulations, nate.

Nate: I try not to think about what things would have been like if I had gotten the same respect at chancellor-winters.

Audra: It’s their loss.

Nate: You’re the only one there who isn’t holding a grudge.

Audra: Well, I mean, I’m a contract employee. Your actions didn’t really impact me. And I — I think that I believe the ipo will still move forward. And as you know, I’ve been in the corporate world for a while now to know that things can get cut-throat. I mean, people in the executive suite are supposed to shake things up.

Nate: Exactly.

Audra: I didn’t find what you did particularly, uh, shocking or infuriating. And it wasn’t personal. But I think everything went wrong because you mixed business and family. And in my experience, that often leads to problems.

Nate: I had to learn the hard way.

Victoria: I’m sorry. You’re gonna have to walk me through this because I don’t understand how it’s a good idea for chelsea, who is still recovering from her terrible ordeal, to be spending alone time with our son.

Billy: So, that’s your problem, then? You don’t want johnny and chelsea spending time together, alone, one on one? So, we invite connor. They get along great.

Victoria: Great. So, the three of them can play pretend happy family.

Billy: Vick, there’s nothing pretend about it, okay? Before johnny found out the truth about chelsea, him and connor were cousins. They always have been. Chelsea’s always been his de facto aunt. Biologically, they are family.

Victoria: Yes, but legally and emotionally, so are we. I mean, I’m his mother. Johnny’s my son. I’m responsible for him. I get to make the decisions.

Billy: So, we’re drawing lines in the sand now?

Victoria: Yes! Yes, billy. That is exactly what we’re doing. We have to set some boundaries here before things get out of hand. There’s just — there’s too much at stake.

Tide pods ultra oxi

Billy: So, what do you think is at stake? ‘Cause I don’t believe we’re gonna lose johnny because his family gets extended, right? You didn’t — you didn’t lose reed when mac became his stepmother.

Victoria: Okay. This is not remotely the same thing.

Billy: I just don’t think there’s too many people that a kid could love or that love him, you know?

Victoria: Billy —

Billy: No one benefits then.

Victoria: I realize that. But what you’re ignoring is johnny’s freedom to be a kid without worrying about these adult-level problems. That’s what I’m concerned about.

Billy: Okay. So, if you’re worried about chelsea, I understand that, but I vouch for her, okay? She’s doing really great. She’s taking this one step at a time. She’s not overextending. And I think she’s ready for this.

Victoria: I’m more worried about whether or not our son is ready for this. He’s already blamed himself to some degree for the issues that she had after he rejected her. And what if he’s doing all of this just for her sake? No. That would be unacceptable.

Billy: Then let’s ask johnny. We said all along that this was gonna be his call. And in the beginning, he chose not to have anything to do with chelsea, and we respected that. So I think we should respect that if he decides to spend more time with her, that it’s his choice.

Tucker: Yeah, reuniting with ashley is my dream. Of course, I want to make it mutual. I just want to make her happier than she’s ever been in her whole life.

Sharon: And you think you’re charming enough to do that?

Tucker: I have more to offer than my charm.

Sharon: Ooh! I hope that wasn’t some sexual innuendo.

Tucker: You just have to see the worst in me, don’t you? I will have you know that I want to connect with ashley on a higher level than that.

Sharon: So, what? Are you saying that you want to marry ashley again?

Tucker: Mm… there are other ways to forge a lasting bond with someone, isn’t there?

Sharon: Has she given you any reason to believe that’s what she wants?

Tucker: Well, I’m an optimist.

Sharon: Oh, in other words, no!

Tucker: Well, I’m working hard to prove that I’m worthy of her trust, and I think eventually she’ll — she’ll let her guard down and, uh, yeah, we’ll make something special together.

Sharon: Mm. Well, I guess time will tell.

Tucker: I’m gonna prove you and all the other doubters wrong. Ahh. So nice to see you. Take care.

Audra: Thank you.

Nate: That was the most detailed order for a salad that I have ever heard.

Audra: Eh, it was a little extra, right?

[ Both laugh ]

Nate: You know what you like. That’s a good thing.

Audra: Yeah. I hate being disappointed. And when I am, it can be a bad thing.

Nate: Really?

Audra: Yeah.

Nate: I have not seen that side of you. Then again, there’s a lot i don’t know about you. So, tell me — who is audra charles?

Audra: Hmm. Where do I begin?

Nate: What do you want out of life?

Audra: More.

Nate: Of what?

Audra: Everything. Adventure, excitement, knowledge.

Nate: You came to genoa city as the ipo guru for chancellor-winters, poised to launch the company into the stratosphere. But what are you getting out of this besides a paycheck? What are your goals?

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Audra: Hmm.

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone thuds ] I’m not entirely sure.

Nate: What happens when chancellor-winters decides what to do with the ipo? Do you stay in genoa city, or do you go?

Audra: That’s a good question.

[ Chuckles ]

Nate: What people say when they don’t want to give a direct answer.

Audra: Alright. Okay. Initially, I — I planned on leaving once my position ended, but this town is growing on me.

Nate: I hope you stay. We need more players who understand the game. And if you ever find yourself in need of a new job, you should come talk to me.

Audra: You’d hire me at newman media?

Nate: Why not? I believe in surrounding myself with smart, savvy people.

Jack: So, you think that kyle and I have diane in hiding somewhere?

Ashley: Yep, I do. I do ’cause I know you would do anything to protect her.

Jack: You know what? You believe whatever you have to believe to sleep at night. It doesn’t change the fact that you and nikki and phyllis set all of this in motion. You were told what would happen, who would be affected, and you did it anyway. And now your nephew and your grand nephew are spending christmas without diane.

Ashley: Aw, gee, that’s the only kind of christmas harrison’s ever known. And kyle hasn’t spent the holidays with his mother in years, right? So, do I feel for them? Of course I do, jack. But they’re still gonna be with people that actually love them, that have been there for them —

Jack: We’re talking about kyle’s mother.

Ashley: Why is she a mother?! Because she gave birth to him? That doesn’t make her a good mother, does it? You know what I find so pathetic about this? The only reason why this christmas is special is because she actually wants to spend it with her son.

Jack: Yeah, but because you and your co-conspirators lured an ex-convict into town —

Ashley: Listen, if she gave a damn about kyle, she would have been there for him every christmas, every birthday, but she wasn’T. If she had a heart, she would have moved heaven and earth to tuck her son in at night, to give him a goodnight kiss! But she didn’t! She chose not to return, jack, year after year! And I have done whatever I could to protect you and kyle from her! Too bad you don’t like my methods. But it doesn’t mean I’m wrong.

Jack: No, I don’t like your methods.

Ashley: I’m still right. And I don’t know what diane being back in town has done to your brain, but it’s wrecked. Your judgment is just completely off.

Jack: Your complete lack of compassion for everyone involved…

Ashley: Oh, please.

Jack: …Is appalling to me. You have allowed your hatred for diane to make you small and spiteful. And I have heard enough of this.

Ashley: Unbelievable.

[ Scoffs ]

[ Door slams ]

[ Sighs heavily ]

Kyle: Hey, you know how much I want to spend christmas with you and harrison.

Summer: Well, we need this. Harrison has endured so many changes this year. Coming back to genoa city, changing languages…

Kyle: Losing ashland… mm, then let’s make it happen.

Summer: Really?!

Kyle: What if we three spend christmas at home? Then we can wake up early. Hurricane harrison can rip open all of his presents. Then I go to the cabin and spend the rest of the day with my mom.

Summer: Okay, you had me right up until the last part.

Kyle: What’s wrong? You don’t want me to leave to go see my mother somewhere? She’s just been alone for so many holidays.

Summer: I’m not saying that i don’t want you to go. I’m saying that harrison and i are coming with you. This cough.

[Sfx: Coughs]

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Welcome to my digestive system.

Tucker: Fascinating. Right on time.

Audra: You know, you said to get here as soon as possible. I did.

Tucker: Something more entertaining happening?

Audra: Oh, nothing is more entertaining than you, tucker.

Tucker: I know you. You’re distracted.

Audra: No.

Tucker: Would you like to share?

Audra: What did you need to talk about?

Tucker: Uh, the plan is evolving. I spontaneously offered to help ashley break away from jabot and start her own company.

Audra: Oh. Did she accept?

Tucker: Not yet.

Audra: Mm. Do you really believe she’s gonna turn her back on her family?

Tucker: I saw a little glimmer in her eye that said she was tempted to. So, yeah, I think in time, she’ll come around.

Audra: [ Chuckles ] I am beyond thrilled that you called me all the way over here to tell me that the woman you’re obsessed with didn’t exactly turn you down.

Tucker: It’s progress.

Audra: Except for taking a single step in making any of your plans a reality. But, sure.

Billy: Thanks, hannah. We’ll see you in a few. You good?

Johnny: Yeah. Whew. Hannah wouldn’t really tell me why she was driving me here, but, hey, I will never say no to a hot cocoa.

Billy: I don’t blame you, but first things first. Your mom and I have a question for you.

Johnny: Okay, if this family meeting has anything to do with the length of my christmas wish list, I can explain. I don’t expect you to get me everything that’s on there. I really just wanted to give you options.

Billy: Well, that’s very considerate of you, but, uh, we — we just want to talk about one gift in particular.

Johnny: The playstation? I realize it’s a big ask.

Billy: Actually, it’s not

what it is. It’s who it’s from.

Victoria: Uh, chelsea has a present that she’s hoping to give you, and we’re wondering if you want it.

Kyle: What do we do about telling harrison where we’re going? How do we pack up his entire christmas and take it to the cabin?

Summer: We could leave during his nap time. He can sleep most of the way there. We can tell him that it’s a christmas eve adventure.

Kyle: What about when we get back? How do we keep him from telling everyone he woke up on christmas morning and saw dee dee?

Summer: We’ll tell him that she’s one of santa’s elves and that’s why she had to leave before christmas. I don’T…

Kyle: I suppose we could tell him we’re driving to the north pole. He’s a little too young to understand distance. But I don’t like the idea of telling him to keep a secret.

Summer: I know. I know. But in this case, it’s — it’s the only way. We just need to figure out the right way to frame it.

Kyle: You aren’t gonna let this go, are you?

Summer: No. Because it’s important. So I’m gonna keep arguing my case until you say yes.

Kyle: [ Inhales deeply ] Yes. I would love to have you and harrison come with me. But there is one more obstacle in our way. We have to make sure stark is distracted. We cannot risk him following us. If you think all pads are exactly the same…

Summer: Do you really think that stark is watching us, following our every move, thinking that we’ll eventually lead him to diane?

Kyle: It’s pretty clear that whatever payback he wants from her is about more than just money, and I don’t have a handle on how far he’s willing to go to settle the score.

Summer: Well, if he is spying on us, he could just as easily follow you if you go to see her alone. All stark has to do is follow you there, wait for you to leave, and then go after diane when she’s alone again.

Kyle: [ Sighs ] You’re right. As much as I want to spend christmas with my mother, it’s a liability none of us can afford.

Johnny: Chelsea wants to get me a present? She doesn’t have to do that.

Billy: No, but it’s the holidays, and people do all sorts of zany things.

Johnny: Yeah, but that means that she was thinking about me enough to want to get me something, even with all the stuff she’s been through.

Billy: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, look, we can accept it for you, or you can accept it yourself if you want. Whatever — whatever you’re comfortable with.

Victoria: Of course, we haven’t agreed to anything yet. We wanted to make sure that you were okay with it first. But if you don’t want this gift or if you don’t want to spend time with her, if you’re not ready yet, that’s fine.

Billy: Or maybe you can check with connor and see if he wants to hang out with the both of you.

Victoria: Yeah, there’s no pressure.

Johnny: Connor’s cool. We have a good time together. So, sure. Sounds like fun.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] This is a wonderful surprise.

Elena: Well, I thought i should give you a proper welcome home. So, welcome home, ceo.

Nate: Back at our place —

Elena: I was the walking dead. But what a difference a shower and a triple shot of espresso can make. So now I have energy to celebrate your successful trip to L.A.

Nate: That was a quick recovery. I saw how exhausted you were.

Elena: How about this? You can keep telling me what a marvel I am while I treat you to a “welcome home” lunch.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] I’d love to, but I’ve already eaten.

Elena: Did you?

Nate: I was gonna grab some takeout from society, and i bumped into audra, who was alone, and we just ended up grabbing lunch together.

Elena: [ Scoffs ]

Tucker: Don’t stop. Speak your mind.

Audra: You don’t know what you want, okay? One minute, it’s jabot, the next, maybe not. You know, then you say you want chancellor-winters. Or maybe you just want devon to betray lily so you can work with your son. Do you have an end game, or are you just jerking everyone around for fun?

Tucker: Weren’t you the one that was accusing me of biting off more than I could chew?

Audra: All I want to know is where I fit in your plans.

Tucker: You —

Audra: When you asked me to work with you, you promised me that you were gonna —

Tucker: I know what i promised you, audra.

Audra: And now you’re stalling.

Tucker: No, I’m not stalling.

Audra: Yes, now you’re stalling.

Tucker: No.

Audra: You know, perhaps you lost your confidence and your ability to get any of this done.

Tucker: No, I’m applying what I’ve learned in life. You’ve got to be flexible and adaptable and, above all else —

Audra: Look, I am not gonna play the long game without knowing more about what the payoff is. Perhaps it’s time for me to make my own plans.

Tucker: Okay. Yeah, sure. I’M… no one’s holding you back. I, uh… I wouldn’t want to stand between you and your destiny.

Audra: You are s– such an insufferable son of a bitch.

Tucker: I know. I’m sorry. Tyson boneless buffalo bites and hot wings

Jack: Hey. Why the long faces? Have you heard from stark?

Kyle: Not a word.

Jack: Then why do you both look like christmas was canceled?

Summer: ‘Cause it was, basically. At least, my version of it was.

Kyle: Summer wanted to bring harrison to the cabin to spend christmas with me and my mom.

Summer: But no matter how many times we go through the potential scenarios or possible hiccups, we just can’t find a way to make it work.

Kyle: Any trip to the cabin, including mine, puts my mother at risk, and I don’t want to put her in danger just so I can live a childhood fantasy of spending christmas with my mother.

Jack: After all the work to rebuild, to reunite this family, you deserve to spend this time with your mother, your wife, and your son.

Kyle: I can’t risk it. It’s not worth it.

Jack: Yeah, the hell it isn’T.

Summer: We still haven’t found a way to neutralize stark. He’s a danger to us all.

Jack: You leave him to me.

Victoria: You don’t have to do anything that you don’t want to do. If you’re agreeing to see chelsea out of guilt or because you’re feeling pressured, then you —

Billy: What your mom’s trying to say that this is one of those rare occasions that you don’t have to be polite. You can be completely honest with us. Do whatever you’re comfortable with.

Victoria: Yes. And you’ll have plenty of time to get to know her down the road, okay?

Johnny: I don’t have to see her if you don’t want me to.

Victoria: What are you talking about?

Johnny: It must be kind of weird for you. If seeing chelsea is gonna upset you, then I won’t do it.

Victoria: You know, it’s very sweet and mature of you to worry about me, but I’m — I’m absolutely fine with you hanging out with connor and chelsea.

Johnny: Sweet. So, when’s this gonna happen?

Billy: No time like the present for a present.

Victoria: Sure.

Billy: Let me check and see if she’s upstairs. “Hey. Victoria, johnny, and I are downstairs. If you and connor around, do you want to come down?” There we go. We’ll see.

Johnny: Okay. Wait. But wait.

Billy: Hmm?

Johnny: We don’t have connor’s present, and I have to get something for chelsea.

Victoria: Well, you don’t have to do that.

Johnny: Wouldn’t it be kind of rude for me to not get her something when she’s getting me?

[ Cellphone pings ] Was that chelsea?

Billy: Yeah. She’s not available. She has an appointment.

Johnny: So, maybe later today?

Billy: That could work, right? We could go get connor’s gift, and then we can try and find something for chelsea.

Johnny: What do you think she’d like?

Billy: [ Chuckles ] I don’t know, buddy. I think she would love anything that you get her.

Johnny: But does she like jewelry, perfume? What are her hobbies?

Billy: All very valid questions, and together, the two of us will figure that out.

Elena: Chancellor’s ipo expert had lunch with a disgraced former executive. Doesn’t that blur the lines a bit?

Nate: Audra knows what I did wasn’t personal. And it’s not as if we were trading company secrets with each other.

Elena: Just saying, it’s strange.

Nate: We respect each other professionally, and we shared a meal, nothing more.

Elena: I’m not questioning your intentions. There’s just something about her that doesn’t sit right with me.

Nate: You barely know her.

Elena: Yeah, and the little time I’ve spent with her, it’s like she’s always working an angle, like there’s some sort of opportunity to be gained from working at chancellor-winters.

Nate: I’m sure she’ll get a bonus if the ipo goes through. What else could there be?

Elena: I don’t know. Can’t put my finger on it. But I don’t trust her.

[ Knock on door ]

Audra: [ Whispering ] You expecting someone?

Ashley: Tucker, are you there?

Tucker: Ashley?

Ashley: Open up.

Tucker: [ Whispering ] Hey, hey, hey. Would you mind?

Audra: You can’t be serious.

Tucker: Well, this looks questionable for you, too.

[ Normal voice ] Um… hold on a second. I just got to get decent.

Ashley: Well, that’s gonna take a while.

Tucker: [ Chuckles loudly ] That’s — that’s so funny. You have such A… refreshing sense of humor.

Audra: [ Exhales sharply ]

Tucker: [ Groans lightly ] Hey.

Ashley: Looks like I caught ya at a bad time.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

elizabeth: Ava. There’s no need for phony small talk. It’s a bit risky, isn’t it, for a woman like you to be in this chapel? You wouldn’t want to be struck by lightning, would you, after sneaking around with my husband? I know I owe you a — what? A thank you, maybe? For keeping nikolas occupied until you realized that you wanted him again? I’m sorry. Oh, no, you’re not. But you will be. I’m sorry. Don’t be. You needed that. And you should stop denying yourself what you really need.

[ Grunts ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Sam, I need to talk to you. You’re still here? The — the gym? No, in port charles. I thought you were leaving town.

[ Breathing heavily ] Yeah, I was going to. Dante convinced me to stay.

[ Chuckles lightly ] That’s because when dante sees you, he sees you as his childhood friend. But when I see you, I see you as a bully and a con artist. Now, I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night, so I came to the gym –listen, I heard about the cop who got killed. How’s dante handling it? I couldn’t say. Look, I know you want me out of dante’s life, sam, but… [ Scoffs ] Just answer me this one thing. I mean, bully or not, dante’s my friend. I’m worried. I can’t tell you how dante’s feeling ’cause I don’t know. I haven’t seen him since yesterday. Dante. Tj, um… I need to get rory cabrera’s medical records, me’s report, uh… all that. Anything that might help us catch his killer. Yeah. Um… let me know if there’s something… yeah. Actually… will you still be here in a few minutes? Yeah, I’ll be here. I’m hoping you can help me with something. Okay. Dante. Chief. You look like hell. Oh, thanks. Appreciate that. Did you talk to cabrera’s mom? Yeah, I told her that, uh, the me would release rory’s body as soon as possible. Is that the, uh… autopsy report. They found snake venom in rory’s blood. So let me guess, the same toxin that was found in brando, diane, and oz haggerty? Looks like we got a serial killer on our hands. Are you sure I can trust everything that you recalled? Excuse me? Look, the stakes are high, okay? I don’t have time for games, ms. Makenzie. I checked out your story. The one that was identical to harmony’s — remember that one? You didn’t tell me the truth about willow’s mother. Every word out of your mouth has been a lie. You’re calling me a liar? Yeah. Because you lied. And I need to know why. What are you covering up? Who are you trying to protect?

Um, I’m — I’m good now. Really. You can go. I’m under orders not to leave you alone. Sonny is your boss, not mine. I’m not leaving until steve gets here.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Suit yourself. It looks like saint elizabeth has finally shown her true colors. Not only were you screwing nikolas behind my back, you were doing it behind finn’S. You know, I ran into finn the other night, and he — he seemed a little off. And now I have to wonder, does he suspect? Does he know? Maybe I’ll ask him. He knows. I told him.

[ Chuckles ] Of course you did. It’s best to get right out in front of it, isn’t it? Claim to be sorry. Tell him it’ll never happen again. Catch me up, though. Do you plan on keeping both nikolas and finn on their respective leashes? Not that I care at all what happens between you and finn. Although he seems like a decent guy, probably deserves a lot better. But if you think that you are holding on to nikolas — no. That is not gonna happen. No. Nikolas and I only — we turned to each other because —

[ Laughs ] Oh, no, I know this one. Oh, I know this one by heart. You and nikolas, you turned to each other because you were both feeling so lost and confused and in so much pain. Let me tell you something, elizabeth. Neither one of you knows what real pain is. So take cover. ‘Cause not only will you lose everything you cost me, but by the time I am done, you will have lost so much more. You haven’t heard from dante since that cop was killed?

[ Groans ] He texted me. He called last night to say that he was gonna be okay. He wanted the kids to know that he was gonna be okay. I could practically feel all of his feelings bottled up. I mean, I-I get it. It’s really tough when you lose one of your own. Yeah, I bet. Um… and, uh, yeah, I guess dante is doing his whole hey, don’t worry about me, I’m fine” thing. I can’t say I’m all that surprised, though, you know? No, I-I don’t know. What are you talking about? Well, you know dante. I mean, he’s always the first to step up when someone else needs help. But the last to ask when he needs it. You know, one time he broke his arm in camp. He ended up being the one who consoled mama q, not the other way around. Dante… always being the strong, silent type. No. No, what? Well, one of the things I love the most about dante is how open he is and how willing he is to talk things out. Oh. Oh. Well, th– well, that’s new. It’s good. It’s great. But…new.

[ Chuckles ] Dante and I, we don’t keep things from each other. That’s how I know that whatever he’s going through, it’S… it’s bad. Dante: There’s got to be something that’ll help us figure out where esme’s holed up. Soil samples, grass, something like that. All we have is an earring that elizabeth found on rory. Yeah, well, the lab hasn’t come back with anything on that.

[ Cellphone ringing ] We don’t know where that thing came from. Excuse me. Yeah.

[ Ringing continues ] Cody? Yeah. Um… hi. What can I do for you? Uh, listen, I’m — I’m sorry to bug you. I just still have your number in my phone from when we thought I might be your son. That’s all right. What’s up? Uh, I was hoping maybe you knew where — where dante was. I’m standing with him right now. Why? I’m with sam at volonino’s, and she’s pretty worried. Dante didn’t come home last night. Thanks. I’m on it. Uh, where was I? You were saying you realize you have nothing to prove. That’s right. And — and right before you got into that staredown with carly. Well, that’s a — that — whatever. Whatever. Uh, I’m — I was saying that I have accepted the fact that my past is my past, phyllis, and I’m done apologizing for it. From now on, I’m just looking towards the future. Well, I, for one, am glad to hear it.

[ Exhales deeply ]

You came looking for me. It’s not my fault if you don’t like what I had to say. I don’t like it because it’s not the truth. So, one more time — I don’t have to take this. Hey, guys! Uh, drew. Um…hey. What’s going on? Hey. Carly, this is, uh, this is denise. Denise makenzie. I can’t believe it’s come to this. But it’s really for the best. I mean, this friend of mine and drew’s, she cannot find out who her birth mother is. It — it will cause her a world of pain. Are you trying to justify it to yourself or to me? Because I don’t care about the reasons. Not as long as your check clears. Carly. Nice to meet you. [ Chuckles ] If you say so. Drew: Denise was a member of the friends for peace and love commune. That’s when she knew harmony. Of course, at the time, harmony went by her given name. Uh, lorraine, right? Yeah. Exactly. Well, denise and i met yesterday, and I asked her how lorraine ended up raising willow. And I told you. You told me a story. And that story doesn’t add up. How do I know that? Well, that’s a very good question. I’m gonna tell you. I did a little digging… and I found out that the woman that you claimed to be willow’s mom, poor joan, doesn’t exist. That’s a problem. You lied. And you’re not leaving here until you tell me why.

[ Sighs ]

[ Exhales deeply ]

[ Footsteps approaching ] Father, I didn’t hear you come in. I’ll read this somewhere — hey, spencer. I need to talk to you. About esme? Nina, what happened to that happy-go-lucky woman in love that I was just talking to? Well, she’s still in there. She is. It’s just, I’m mentally preparing myself for carly to come down on me again. Didn’t you just say you were done apologizing for your past? My past, yes. But my present is a different story. What happened? I got into another fight with willow. And I’m sure you had a good reason. I certainly thought so at the time. Willow’s pregnant. I heard. And the argument upset her so much she fainted. Fortunately, carly was there. I never thought I’d see the day you were thankful for carly’s presence.

[ Chuckles softly ] You’re not kidding. I didn’t know what to do. I just froze. She didn’t hesitate. We both came together and helped willow. And thank god she’s gonna be okay. I know you and willow have had your differences, but I know you don’t wish her any harm. No. Of course not. Even carly admitted that.

[ Scoffs ] Wonders never cease. Yeah, but…

[ Sighs ] I just — I feel terrible about it, though. You know? I never knew that willow was having such a rough pregnancy. Um, drew, I-I think, uh, denise has her reasons, right? I-I mean, maybe she was trying to protect harmony. Lorraine — or something. Yeah, I mean, she was my friend. It was a long time ago, but still. Right! And I also think it’s very important to remember that lorraine is gone. So, tell us the truth. And I’ll make it worth your while. Okay…

[ Exhales deeply ] All right. You got me. There was no joan. Lorraine and doug… already had the baby with them when they joined the commune. These are the rest of rory’s personal effects. Can you see that his family gets them? Yeah. I’ll, uh, take care of that. Thanks. Look, I didn’t know rory well, but he seemed like a good guy. He was. And a good cop. I hope you catch this psycho soon. That’s the plan. Look, we’ve done all we can here. You should go home and get some rest. Uh, you know what? I think I’m gonna go back to the crime scene. You’re off duty. That’s an order, detective. Well, what am I gonna do? I’m too wired to sleep.

[ Sighs ] Then I’m taking you to the gym. You know, a workout will do you good. Let’s go. Come on. Nothing to say? No lame excuses for betraying finn, for jumping back into bed with nikolas? At least you weren’t married to his brother this time.

[ Groans softly ] Why are you even here? Are you seeking solace? Guidance from above? Absolution? All I can say is — go on.

[ Sighs deeply ] I’ve made terrible mistakes, and I’m going to have to live with what I’ve done. Gi ve me a break,mary magdalene. I should go. No one is gonna buy this noble martyr act. And I will not be made the bad guy here. For once, I have done nothing wrong!

[ Breathes unsteadily ] If you think that you can tear my life apart, shed a few crocodile tears and skate — oh, my god, ava! Shut up. Not everything’s about you.

You know, just because you’re standing guard doesn’t mean you have to actually stand while guarding me. I’m fine. I thought that you were mad at me. After what happened at kelly’S. Maybe I was. Did you really think I need you to defend me against spencer cassadine?

[ Chuckles ] Well, he did knock you flat with a sucker punch. Should I have fought back? No. I’m glad you didn’T. Spencer is an idiot and a total jerk, but he’s been through a lot. So, giving him a beat down would not have proven anything. Would have proved that I can defend myself. For future reference, I don’t care what spencer thinks. What about the cam thinks? Sorry. For what? Causing problems between you two.

[ Weights clanking ] Will you stop it? Uh… stop what? You’re lurking. I’m just doing some curls. Now you’re stalling. I’m lurking, stalling… what are you hanging around here for? That. Oh, look, mac. Sam is here. What an amazing coincidence. Yeah. I’m guessing you dropped the dime. You calling me a rat? Sam: [ Chuckles ] Hi. Dante: I’m sorry I didn’t call you. Phyllis: Sorry about that. Our pos system went down. But don’t worry. I fixed it.

[ Sighs ] Oh. You seem…preoccupied.

[ Inhales deeply ] Again. More carly? Who? [ Chuckles ] No, actually, uh… I was — I was just thinking about how happy I was when I found out I was pregnant. You know, silas and I, we were gonna be new parents, and I was overjoyed. Oh. I’m sure. Of course I was nervous because I was a really young mother, but I really, really wanted that baby. Silas and i were having problems. He was cheating on me with ava, actually. And now you’re best friends?

[ Chuckles ] Isn’t life funny? I thought that my baby would save my marriage, and… maybe it would have. But thanks to my mother, I — I never got to experience the one time that I would or could

[Voice breaking] Ever have a baby. I will never forgive madeline for robbing me of a life with my daughter. Wait, so lorraine and doug had the baby with them when they arrived at the commune? But we know that harmony wasn’t willow’s birth mother. A dna test proved that. So… so back then, did — did they claim that willow was theirs? Lorraine and doug told everyone that their friend joan had given them the baby to raise. But that was before they joined friends for peace and love. S-so you never met willow’s biological mother? No, I didn’T. So why did you lie to me? Like I said, lorraine was my friend. I wanted to protect her and protect whoever that baby grew up to be. What do you mean, protect? I always got the sense that lorraine was running from something. Or someone. About esme? Esme killed rory cabrera. Right. Yes. I heard an officer had been attacked. Killed. Isn’t that the young man that trina was seeing? It was. I was at kelly’s with trina when she found out that he’d been attacked. Joss and cam were there, too. We all went to gh together, and trina got to sit with rory as he coded, or flatlined, or whatever they call it. She’s devastated. I’m gonna put this back. Ho– how are you feeling… about all of this? I barely knew rory. Yeah, but you care about trina. Yes. Yeah, I care. I want to be there for trina. But I’m the last person who should be, so I am relegated to standing by helplessly or staying away altogether, because I am literally useless in this situation. There’s nothing that I can do. I don’t know. I think that trina would want all the support that any of her friends would give her. Even from the so-called friend who brought esme to town in the first place? How much sense does that make? You are not responsible for esme’s actions. That’s exactly what grandmother said. So it must be true, if you two agree. Your grandmother tried calling me. It must have been about officer cabrera. You’d have to ask her. Well, I’m glad she was there for you. Anyway, I hope they find esme soon. Spencer. There’s something else you need to know. I served ava with divorce papers. Which means a reconciliation is right around the corner. How exciting. There’s not gonna be a reconciliation. Not this time. Why not? Things happened. Things?

[ Scoffs ] That does sound irreparable. Don’t tell me you’ve finally seen ava for the toxic opportunist that she always — do not talk about ava that way. You’re still defending her, I see. So it’s not really over, is it? It is. But it’s not because I don’t love her. Then why? I was unfaithful. I know. With esme. And the less we could say about that, the better. No. It was with someone else. Great. Whose girlfriend did you bang this time? I don’t have any siblings. So you would have had to branch out. Who’s the lucky lady? Elizabeth. I beg your pardon. My husband cheated on me with you. You’re damn right that’s about me. You left nikolas months ago. So what? I leave nikolas all the time.

[ Scoffs ] And like an idiot, I always come back. I suppose I should thank you for snapping me out of it! I didn’t do this to hurt you. This what? Cheap affair? Tawdry hook-up? I hope you don’t think it was anything more than that. That you’re special somehow. You know, you weren’t even nikolas’ first choice.

[ Laughs ] That honor goes to his son’s girlfriend, esme. But… but you know about that, don’t you? He told me about esme. So he lied to me. And he told you and you jumped into bed with him anyway. So now what? Do you think that you and nikolas are gonna have some kind of… happily ever after? That you can forget about all the pain that you’ve caused people and just move on? You and — and nikolas and your brand-new baby?! There’s not gonna be a baby.

You have not caused problems for me and cam. Glad to hear it. The problem is me.

[ Sighs ] I’ve been putting off a conversation that I have to have with him. I’ve been hiding, which makes me a coward, which I hate, but it has nothing to do with you.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh, it’s steve. He’s here. Good. You can go. Please tell steve to wait outside. I don’t want any of sonny’s people in my house. One question. What? Are you sorry we kissed? Yeah, me neither. And here I thought you were focusing on your future.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. That’s easier said than done. Okay, meanwhile, back to the present. Why don’t you distract me by telling me all about this hunky guy that you are texting? Ooh, ahh…

[ Both laugh ] Look, I’m sorry I lied. You clearly care about lorraine’s daughter. Whatever she’s calling herself now. But my advice… not that you asked… mm-hmm. Don’t go digging into lorraine’s past. Whatever she was running from, whatever trouble she was in, she was afraid of it. She didn’t show it very often, but she also didn’t stay in one place very long. Now, maybe she was restless, but… I think it was something more. All I’m saying is — it sounds like willow has a good life now. Mayb e she should keeplooking forward instead of back. Oh.

[ Sighs ] Denise left her gloves. Mm. Denise! Thank you for not ratting me out.

[ Scoffs ] I’d like to say it was a pleasure doing business with you, but… I just want to go home. It was stupid of me to get mixed up in this in the first place. I — I understand. Question. Are you telling the truth to drew? Was lorraine really running from someone? She was jumpy around strangers. Always seemed to be looking over her shoulder. Mac: Thanks for calling. I’m sure sam and dante are feeling better now. Yeah, well, bringing people together is what I do. You did a good thing. Thanks. So what about you, chief? Sam was talking about how, uh, hard it is for cops when they lose someone in the line of duty. You doing all right? I’ve been through this before. Unfortunately, it doesn’t get any easier. Yeah, I bet. You know, I just can’t help thinking about [Sighs] The future rory might have had, you know, all the things he could have done with his life if he hadn’t gone to that apartment alone. Such a waste. Yeah, it’s crazy. One bad decision could change your whole life. Elizabeth. Elizabeth who? Do not tell me that you mean cameron’s mother. I do. My god! She’s practically family! Does cameron know? I’m not sure. I don’t think so. How did this… why? We were both having a hard time. Maybe you were having a hard time. She was having a full-blown crisis! She had to check herself into rehab because the sleeping pills that she was on were making her think crazy things! Cam’s been worried sick about her for months. And you — what? You saw that she was vulnerable… …distressed, in pain, confused, and you thought, well, there’s no way she’ll turn me down. You’re disgusting. It had been a long time sinceelizabet h had come home — I should light you up right now! God! It had been a long time since elizabeth had come back from the hospital. We are both consenting adults. No. No, because she was obviously unraveling. And that is the only reason that she turned to you. And you took advantage of her friendship! How are cameron and I supposed to even look at each other now, after you’ve done this? I wouldn’t be telling you this if this was a one-time indiscretion. Elisabeth and I… have been seeing each other. After you slept with esme, I did not know that I could think less of you. Turns out I can. What do you mean there’s no baby? I mean that I am no longer pregnant. Does nikolas know? No, not yet. Oh. Well.

[ Insincerely ] I’m so sorry for your loss. No, ava, don’t say — I should go. Oh. Word to the wise, if you’re expecting nikolas to comfort you, you can forget it. That man only cares about himself.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door slams ]

A man who would usea woman’s emotional problems to try to move in on her — that’s not what happened!That’s exactly what happened. And the fact that you can’t see that makes this all somehow even worse. To thi nk I almost bought into uncle victor’s garbage about finding strength in family. There is no strength. There is no family. You have proven time and time again that this family is unsalvageable. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again — I’m done with you. Spencer.

This is over. And you know the sad part… was that I bought into the fairy tale… that grandmother’s influence saved you. But she was too late. Because you are already a cassadine through and through by the time she cameinto your life. My mother made me a better person. You were worse than this before? There were reasons. And I told you, I don’t care. The second that my sentence is over and I am free to live where I please… I’m out of here. Hey, phyllis, when you were in new york, do you ever remember lorraine talking about a baby or — or a friend that was pregnant? Not that I recall. No? Okay, thanks. Hey. Hey. Thank you. So what was that all about? Oh, uh… phyllis was nina’s nurse when she was in a coma. Harmony worked in the same building. They knew each other. Oh, yeah, I think I remember phyllis telling me about that. So, if harmony and doug had the baby when they arrived at the commune, that changes everything. Elizabeth: What am I doing? My parents finally told me about reiko’s fall and how they tried to make me forget what I had done. If the truth is supposed to set me free, then how come it feels like a stone around my neck? But I guess it’s not the truth that’s the problem, is it? Nope, it’s me and the choices I’ve made. I’m just tearing my life down piece by piece, brick by brick. I lost finn. I’m helping nikolas hold a pregnant woman captive because I thought I was keeping everybody else from getting hurt. But now that cop is dead, and I know it can’t be esme who’s the killer. This isn’t me. I’m a good person, aren’t I? Aren’t I?

I don’t care what uncle victorwants. I cannot — I will not be around you, so… stay clear of me. I have my own money now. I’m gonna get my own place. Preferably as far away from here and you as possible. Spencer, I’m — I’m so sorry that I disappointed you again. Th ere really is no bottomfor you to hit, is there? I feel really sorry for you. But there’s one good thing about this, and it’s that I am more determined than ever to be a better man than you. I know you will be. I mean, you — you’re already your own man. I am so proud of you. No, I — give me a break.

[ Breathes deeply ] Just stop. I know we’re done. But you just know —

[ Cellphone rings ] You just know that I love you. And I believe in you.

[ Ringing continues ]

[ Whispering ] Hey. I just had it out with ava. How did it go? I told her there was no baby, let her believe I had a miscarriage. Anyway, it’s done. No more fake baby. Now I just have to fix all the other million mistakes I’ve made. I know this is hard. But we made our choices. There’s no going back.

[ Door closes ] Hey! Ava: Hi. I was just about to call you to check in on you after, you know, what you told me about elizabeth and nikolas. Mm. Coincidentally, I just ran into elizabeth. Did you let her have it? Started to. And then she told me that she lost the baby. Ohhh. I mean, I hate them for what they did to you, but still, it’s — I know. As much as I want to give it to nikolas — and I really want to let him have it — can I really go after him after he just lost a child? Well, I, uh, better head out. Uh. Yeah, me too. After I hit the showers. Can’t go into the world smelling… like this. Oh, and, uh, don’t worry. About? I won’t keep bugging you. In fact, um… I’ll delete your number right now. No, no, no. Hey, keep it. You don’t mind? Feel free to use it if you’re ever in a jam. It’s my job, you know? Protect and serve? Right. See you later, chief. See ya, cody. Dex: Are you sorry we kissed? Yeah, me neither. I’m trying to do the right thing here. Try being honest instead. You want honest? [ Sighs ]

[ Muffled scream ]

[ Sighs deeply ] So harmony had willow when she arrived in colorado, and denise really thought that harmony was running from something or someone? What if harmony stole willow from her parents? You think harmony kidnapped willow? Well, if denise is telling the truth. It sure sounds like harmony thought that someone was trying to track her down. Yeah. So, where does that leave us? Well, either way — either way, we know that the story about willow’s birth mom od’ing — that’s a lie. Which means it’s possible that somebody could be out there… somewhere wondering what happened to her little girl.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You talked to your dad about my column, right? That’s why you wanted to have a drink. And from the look on your face, it didn’t go very well. Look, uh, I’m sorry, Mattie, he just, he doesn’t really feel like a gossip column is the right fit for the spectator. Well drinks are on you. I guess. You’ve already spent all the money I gave.

It was a pitten considering that dirty little favor I did for you. Oh, come on. You know, you loved having a tussle with Sander. Okay. It was a bit of a dream come true. Only in the dream he was naked. I wasn’t wearing a muscle suit, but I was wearing a clown mask. Okay. Yeah. Well it’s a good thing that it did go off as planned and hopefully Bonnie Riak is will stop nattering on about the fact that it was Zander who kidnapped her even though it was him.

Right.

Oh, I can’t move. The eldest buddy putting those burgers, cement, . You’re the one who insists on having two of them. Look guys, I know they’re feeling, but they are my favorite. You’re so sweet to remember . Well, you’ve better ru couple weeks. Yeah, I mean it’s, it’s literally the least we could do. Thank you. I almost forgot.

This was in one of the bags. There you go. Buddy’s burgers. Scratch off it. See what you got. I, Jack. No, but my next order fries on buddy.

Serious. The real prize is having a nice dinner with my family,

I think the bad times are finally over just in time for Christmas, you know.

I’ll call you with an update as soon as they let me see Trip again. I love you too, sweetness.

I heard about the explosion. Is trip gonna be all right? I think so, baby. I think so. Sarah’s giving him a thorough checkup right now. What was he doing in Salem? Well, he got it in his head that he needed to confront EJ for causing his mother’s death. Of course, Abe is a alive, is it true? She’s the one who’s at the bomb.

Yeah. Looks like she’s up to her old tricks. And they almost got my son killed.

Well, as soon as I get your x-rays and your blood work back, I’ll probably let you go home. Well, I feel fine. The only reason I’m here is cuz my dad insists today trip. You inhaled a lot of smoke. Well, the one that I’m worried about is my mom. You understand that she stopped breathing and you saved her.

Yeah. Well, she may have survived the blast, but she’s still probably going to prison for a very long time. You can’t be serious. You know, I don’t joke around. You expect me to help you escape from police custody. Oh, you’re my partner in crime. I mean, who else am I supposed to turn to in my hour of, not me?

90 more. Goodbye, Ava. I meant what I said Zand. If you don’t help me out, I’m gonna tell Sarah everything I know.

Sarah believes in me, and now the whole town, including her, knows exactly what you are. Maybe, but I still know that you kidnapped Susan and Bonnie and I know how you do it. Once I give Sarah all the details. She’s gonna know that you never changed, but you’re still the heartless criminal you always were, and you’re gonna lose her forever,

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

Are you all right?

No, I’m not. I just think maybe the double double chili cheese. Wasn’t a good idea. Do you want me to engage you something for your stomach? No, no, I, I can keep it.

Yeah. I’m guessing she’s not All right. After all.

I guess in a way, things could have been a lot worse if TRIP hadn’t shown up to confront. What do you mean? Well, you caught up with him at the church and when Ava found out Tripp was inside, she came in to warn everybody about the bomb. Gave everyone a split second to take cover. Probably made all the difference.

Was anybody else hurt? Yeah, Nicole, Ava, I hear they’re both gonna be fine. Well, Ava’s gonna be physically okay, but I wouldn’t call her fine. Sounds like she’s really gone over the edge. Yeah, I think she’s been out there for a while. She just didn’t let us see it.

I have been trying to get my mom to come to Seattle with me in. She just won’t hear it. You know, damn, I, I should have just hopped on a plane two weeks ago and maybe none of this would’ve ever happened. You don’t know that I am the one person that can still get through to her. What she did was horrible, but she’s.

She’s been through so much and yeah, she really loves Jay cuz she saw him get killed. And ej she’s been putting all this pressure on her. Can I go check on her again? I, I would really like for you to stay put until your results are in, but I feel fine. I’m not short of breath. My chest is okay. Yes, but you are not the doctor today, doctor.

All right. Will you just check on her and let me know how she is, please. You’ve got me into enough trouble as it is. Oh, right. It tarnished your lily white reputation. I offered you a job and you grabbed it. I was desperate for money and you promised it money I never saw, by the way you botched the job.

The job description didn’t include neither. I also didn’t include letting Susan go, but she did that. God, if she hadn’t shown up at the airfield, I would be living it up right now on Jake’s millions and some tropical paradise. But you mean ejs millions. Okay. You know what I meant? Because of you. I had to take that nut Jobb, put her in my car and drive her off a cliff to get rid of her.

You are saying on Toine for that. Oh yeah, sure as hell am. And if you don’t get me outta here, I’m gonna be saying it to the cops.

So is Bonnie still seeing clowns? Sunny boy, you were sitting right there. What do you think, dad? I am really sorry. Bonnie still doesn’t feel safe. She’s still making excuses not to leave the house. Makes sense that she’s freaked out. I mean, same guy kidnaps her twice and he is still out there. I mean, do you think he’d really try to do it?

This guy’s boshed it twice already and now Xander’s had a look at him. I’m hoping Xander scared him off for good. I mean, is there anything that we can do to help? You know, maybe you two could just, uh, go out and get a drink. Bonnie’s probably embarrassed. Well, I mean, a drink sounds good. I, I mean, are you sure?

There’s nothing that we can do? No. She’s my wife. I got this. Go out and you know, have a drink. Have fun. Okay, you say so,

joy. It’s Christmas.

It’s Christmas.

Now that you’ve had time to ponder and. Have you thought about how you’re gonna cash in on that favor you did for Xander Cash in? I was helping a friend out of a jam. Sure. But we both know, you think of Xander as more than a friend, and now that friend owes you in a major way work it. This could be your ticket back into his heart, or at least back into his bed.

I mean it, Xander, if I go to prison, I’m taking you with. You’ve been arrested. You’re handcuffed to a bed. I’m not a magician. Come on, you’re the guy who kidnapped. Nicole, I’m captain in a cage. You better act fast because once the cops find out I’m okay, they’re gonna be here with the paddy wagon. God should been you the died in that car crash.

No careful zandy. You might hurt my feelings.

Your feelings on the only thing I’m capable of hurting.

Thank

So, what’s the verdict? Uh, Sarah won’t let me leave until she gets all my test results back, but at this time of night, that could take forever. Just be patient . You’re like, he be patient in this situation. No, I want to go see my mom. How about I go check on her for you? No, I’ve already asked Sarah to do that.

It must have been a real shock to find out that Ave was still alive. It is. I mean, I haven’t really processed it yet. Would’ve been better off for everyone if she stayed dead this time. Papa, how could she say anything like. She’s the reason you got kidnapped and why Susan Banks is dead. Everyone in that church could have died, all because Ava wanted to get, even with ej, she’s not in her right mind.

That’s why you need to stay away from her. Your mother is completely out of control. She’s dangerous. Please trip. Will you promise me I’ll stay away from her from now on?

Oh, put that down. You know you aren’t gonna use it. Oh, I wouldn’t be too sure about that. I get rid of you. All my problems disappear. You don’t have the guts anymore because if you did, you would’ve killed Susan when I told you to. You’re not gonna kill me either. Susan was a decent human being. You know better than the cockroaches in my motel have been doing the world a favor.

Okay, go ahead, do it. Put me out of my misery.

Sarah,

what are you doing here?

I was just trying to get some answers out of her. I was hoping to be able to give Bonnie and Justin the name of the HAI goon she’s been using. Did she say anything? No, I did not talking. No. Still weighing my options. Waiting to see her. Things shake up around here. Why don’t you let the police do the interrogating?

Yeah, you’re right. There’s a mistake coming here, Masco. Uh, no. I promised Trip that I would examine Eva. What? Yeah. I’ll catch up with you later. No, no, no. She, she just tried to love church full of people. I’m not leaving you alone with her. Oh, don’t worry. I mean, Really even, how much trouble can I cause while I’m changing a bed?

Ready? I’ll see you later.

You know what? You are right. I think I’ll just stroll right up to Sander and say, now that I’ve helped you avoid prison, can you please return the favor and jump my bones please. You need to finesse that a bit. Ah, you can’t finesse crude and pathetic. Mattie, I’m just pointing out that you’ve scored major points with your ex.

To me. You’ve totally made up for drugging his wife. I don’t think Zander would agree with you, but he sees you in a new way, right? I dunno. I suppose so. And you two are now bonded by this big secret. It doesn’t change anything. He loves Sarah, the happily married. I mean, the whole reason he’s worked so hard to cover his tracks is because he can’t bear the thought of losing her.

If you ask me, she’s totally wrong for him. You are projecting again, what does that mean? You are thinking If I can get a married Xander into bed, you can do the same thing with Sonny, who’s also happily married. What? Sonny and I are just friends. I’ve told you that. Oh yeah. Come on, admit it. You are mad for Sonny.

What’s wrong with your face?

Where’s Alex and Sunny? Uh, they decided to go out and have a drink. Well, because of May I ruined our family evening. No, no you didn’t. How’s your tummy? Um, fine. Soon as I take this,

No, I’m not going to abandon mom. Not again. Look, we know you love her, but she’s gone way too far this time. I’m afraid you’re gonna end up getting hurt again. Nobody’s gonna look out for her except. She’s all alone. She did that to herself. No, EJ pushed her over the edge and that’s the reason you need to stay away from her.

For God’s sake, dad, she came back to a town where everyone hates her just because of me. You see, she swore that she c broke all ties off with her family, and she promised me that she was gonna be a different kind of person, just for my sake.

Yeah, I didn’t know what to. Well, she’s made good on that promise for a while, for a long time.

I, I just want her to know that I still love her no matter what.

I get what he’s saying,

I do too, but I just can’t get past the fact that she almost got you killed tonight.

I can’t, I can’t lose you again.

Your vitals are good. What, uh, your vital signs. Okay, good. Oh, okay. Your son’s really worried about you. He doesn’t understand why you went to such extremes. Are you kidding me? This was all his idea. He wouldn’t leave me alone until I did what he wanted me to. You really blaming this all on trip. No, the other one, Charlie, this is all his fault.

Yeah, trip. Finally got his test results back. The chest X-ray shows smoke inhalation, but there’s not gonna be any permanent damage. Thank God. And his heart is. Yeah, I’m hoping I can convince him to fly back there with Stephanie and me tomorrow, but I’m not sure I can. He’s decided he needs to be here for Ava.

I know. I don’t like it either. Okay. I’ll keep you posted, baby. I love you.

You and mom are still planning on spending Christmas in Seattle. Well, as long as I can convince Trip to come with us, I’ve, uh, been meaning to talk to you about that I have to cancel on Christmas. Why I spent most of today trying to convince Paulina to not resign is governor. And did you do it? She said she’d sleep on it, but she’s gonna make her decision tomorrow and I need to be here to deal with it.

Well, that sounds like a lousy Christmas. You want me to stick around? No, no. Go be with Mom and Joey. Hopefully Trip will decide to go with you and let you spend Christmas alone. Well, if the next few days are anything like today, I will be too busy to even know it’s Christmas. It sounds like working for Paulita is a job and a half.

She keeps me hopping. She’s going through a really bad time, and I do like her. But this has been one hell of a day. One hell of a day. I could use a drink. You wanna join me? I’m buying. Oh, baby girl. I hate to turn you down, but I should stay around here in case trip needs me. I figured you’d say that. I’ll see you at home.

Love you. Love you too.

Rug. The rug is we stop. Okay, it’s water Henderson. We’ll see that it’s cleaned up. Not come here. Sit down. All right. Sit down on the sofa. Okay, sweetheart. What is going on? Nothing. The stupid glass fell out of my hand. I think it’s a little more than that. And don’t you know my now and I would never judge you.

Okay.

I thought things were getting better.

I keep seeing him

that evil clown. I wanna be happy, I wanna be better. Why is this happening? To what is happening? Ok. Ok. It’s alright. It’s alright. It’s OK, honey. It’s ok. Hmm. Hi. How long have you been standing there? Uh, long enough to know that you two are having an argument. Ah, yes. We argue that’s nothing new for us. Right, right.

Okay, so what was it about this time? Oh, uh, well, Gwen’s father turned down my offer to write that gossip column That would’ve given his boring little newspaper, little pizzazz. Not to mention he stole it from my mother. He didn’t actually steal it from Herati. No offense, QUni. I know you worshiped the guy, but he sure did take control of it from her in a most unseemly way, which is why he might have given her son a break.

Well, I’m, I’m really sorry it didn’t work out. Leo. I’m not as sorry as. I’m crushed. Actually, you know, I don’t handle rejection. Well get, be used to it by now. Knock it off, Alex. All right. He’s broke and he’s out of a job. Oh, um, excuse me a minute.

Hi. What’s going on? I need help again, I wouldn’t bother you if it wasn’t important. Possibly meet me in the square. What? What’s happened? I’ll explain when you get here. Okay? Yeah, I’m on my, you are a lifesaver.

So Charlie told you that you had to get, even with ej, I dunno why? Why I ever listen to. He’s never satisfied. He always wants more. You, you know, he made me, you made me drive off that road. He always makes things worse. You think that it’s hospital? You imagined Charlie? No, no, no, no, no, no. He was always there.

He was in the crit. He was in the car. I don’t know how he did it, but he came back to life. He did. He did it. He did it. Look, look, there he is. There he is. Easy standing. He’s standing right behind you. You see him? See him, don’t you? ? Now you know I’m not lying. Charlie’s for real. He’s for real.

Tell her, Charlie, tell Sarah that it was all your idea. Thomas, it’s me tr stomach. You stopped playing games with me and you tell her that it was you. You wouldn’t stop screaming at me until I planted that bomb. You know, you nearly killed your brother. Did you know that? Okay. Yeah. You, you’re confused. Are you?

You’re not seeing things as they really are. Touch me. You tried to trick me into killing your brother. You hate him so much because he is worth a hundred and you. What, what this turn, I, I’m not sure. It could be a delete, a trauma from the ball that exploded. The Why are you talking to him? You should be calling the cops.

He’s someone who should be handcuffed. Mom. Mom, look. Who look at me listening to my voice. Okay. It, it’s trip. All right. You’re, you’re seeing someone who isn’t here. Why are you trying to con me? Aren’t you? Mm-hmm. . Hmm. Both of you. I know that you’re both trying to gaslight me. Where’s Trip? I wanna see Tripp.

He’s gonna know that I’m telling the truth right here. What did you do to him? What did you do to my boy? I, I don’t, I don’t know what to do. I, I’m gonna have toed. Where is he? I’m gonna give you something that’s gonna help calm me down. No, I’m gonna do it, mom. She’s trying to drug you just like your father used to do.

No, no, no needles. Don’t you do that. Don’t. So I will kill. Do you hear me? I will kill you. No, no.

Avis alive and kicking. She says, if I don’t help her escape, she’s gonna tell the world that I kidnapped Susan Amani. Oh, come. Well, I’m glad I didn’t put too much effort and time into her obituary. I did feel sort of guilty about her at the time, given she was somewhat of a friend, but I was on deadlines and fo focus s.

Right. Yeah. Sorry. Look, Kristen blackmail means helping her is escape. So I do understand what you’re going through. What are you gonna do?

Are you bloody joking? I don’t have a choice. I can get her out of the cuffs and have the hospital burn. I am gonna need a driver. That’s why you phone me. Look, I hate asking you to get involved in this mess again, but who else can I go to? I’m desperate. Quinn. I mean, if favor talks, I’ll lose everything.

You all right? Thank you. You’re welcome. But you do keep this one thing in mind now. Now you really owe me one.

Ah, now I feel like a fool. Why? I don’t know. Seeing clowns and dropping glasses of water and ace on the rug. , don’t be so hard on yourself. You’ve been through a traumatic experience twice. Twice. Justin, this isn’t like me. I went to prison, state prison for years. I am a tough. And I’m afraid of my own shadow.

I mean, I get it. I mean, Kyle is stark kinda scary. I mean, they have these painted on smiles and they’re not smiling underneath. I mean, it is Never might, Sarah thinks you might, uh, have posttraumatic stress disorder. Oh God, I heard her, but come on, is that even a thing? Yes. It’s a real thing, and the worst thing you can do is suffer with it in silence.

Justin, it’s too embarrassing to talk about. Get over it, please. Okay. You are still feeling terrified and you can’t keep that feeling bottled up. You need to talk about it seriously. Like what Dr. Phil? Well, I was thinking of something more private. Like seeing Marlena, Justin, come on. She’s a shrink, but there’s no shame in seeing a therapist and Marlena’s one of the best.

Your friend Nancy, didn’t she see her for a few sessions? Right? Well, at this point I guess it couldn’t hurt. Good. Okay. Well, uh, let’s make an appointment after the holiday. Would you call for me?

I can do that.

I dunno what I did about you. That works out because I don’t know what I’d do without you two . Come here. I got this. I got this.

Looks like I’ve been ditched by my bff. You gentlemen. Wanna join me for a libation or two? No, not sure. Why not? What come, Alex, if we can have one drink with him. Hey. But now that looks like a woman who could use a drink. Hmm. That’s why I’m here. You would not believe the day I’ve had. Well, I want to hear all about it.

I’m sorry. Uh, a spectator job didn’t. Maybe I can still find you something to tighten. We’ve discussed this already, sunny. We both know that wouldn’t work. I’m going to have to get creative about my living arrangements though. What do you mean? Well, my current residence, aka the Bates Motel, is kicking me out tomorrow for non-payment of rent on Christmas Eve.

Probably shouldn’t have spent my last $300 on skincare products. Oh. Leo, you’re joking, right? It’s Winter Jackson. I’m trying to maintain my boyish appeal. Okay. Oh my God. Um, look, why don’t you just, I’m move in with Gwen or something. Chad’s there makes it a non-starter.

What are you gonna do? Uh, well, I’m hoping an angel comes into this bar and you know, Tinkles Bell and suddenly I have a wonderful life. Okay, well, I think the odds of that actually happening are not very high. Yeah, same here. But otherwise, I have not come up with plan B yet.

If you really are about to be kicked outta your motel, why? Come stay with me.

Are you really inviting me to move in with you? I don’t particularly like the idea of you sleeping on a park bench on Christmas. So, uh, and what does will think about this idea? I told. Will is staying in LA for work, so he doesn’t get his say in this. And the grouchy old Grinch. I will talk to Uncle Vick.

It’s a big house, and I will convince him that, you know, you’ve changed. You have changed. Right. I’m a model citizen now. I will be good, I promise. Okay. I’ll then tell Norman Bates that you have made other arrangements. You are such a men’s Jackson. K. Thank you so much. What her friends form.

I know why mom’s been doing the things she’s doing. She said Charlie’s been telling her to do them. She’s hearing voices. I’ve seen things too. If she thought I was him, I’m, I’m gonna have her transferred to Bayview and they can diagnose her and come up with a treatment plan. Come on, do this, please.

What’s, what’s going on? This is all your fault. I’m gonna tell everyone what you pick.

Things had gone slightly differently. My brother could have been blown up by a bomb, his mother planted. No wonder you needed a drink, and in spite of all that trip is still in her corner. He wants to take care of her. Well. I can relate. My mother did some crazy things too, but still loved her. Is Christmas hard?

Yeah, a little bit, but it’s really good to be back with Sonny and my dad. My whole family’s supposed to be in Seattle with my brother Joey. My dad’s flying out tomorrow and he is hoping he can convince TRP to go with him. Oh, so what about you? Uh, I have to stay because of work. You’re staying by yourself.

I’ll survive. I mean I’ll, and I’ll just throw on home alone and order some takeout. No, no, no. Screw that. You’re spending Christmas with me.

This was all your idea. Kidnapping Susan, killing Susan. The ball in the church. All fame. You made me do it. You dunno what you’re talking about. Tell them the truth. Charlie, tell them you made me do it. She’s been having hallucinations and psychotic episodes somehow her transferred to Bayview. That’s, uh, well, it explains a lot.

Please don’t. Please, please don’t make me go there. I don’t wanna leave trip. I’m, I’m right here. I’m right here. Mom, I’m going with you. You are you really? Here?

My sweet boy.

I don’t wanna leave you. I don’t want to go there. I, it’s gonna be okay. So I, I promise. Ready? We’re gonna get you better. I’m scared.

Are you sure your family will be okay with me crashing their Holland? Of course. Are you kidding me? The more the merrier. So you bailed out my Thanksgiving and now you’re doing it again for Christmas. Well, I keep trying to tell you, Stephanie, I am a pretty great guy. You know what? I am starting to believe?

And I’m starting to think this is going to be the best Christmas ever.

This is going to be the best Christmas ever, and it’s all because of you tonight, son, that big of. Not that big a deal. You are keeping me from sleeping on a park bench and spending the holidays all by my lungs. Do you hear that? Go hear what? A little bell just went tingling. It turns out I do have a Christmas angel.

After all,

I can’t believe Ava’s still alive. Have the police questioned her? Did she name her accomplice? No, she didn’t, but now that she’s in custody, maybe she’ll give him up to cut a deal. I don’t see that happening. Why? Because Ava’s gone off the deep end. They’re moving her to Bayview as we speak. I don’t think she’ll be in any condition to answer questions anytime soon.

Damn. I was hoping to be able to tell Bonnie that this is all over now. We may never find out who the kidnapper was.

The ambulance is here so I can ride with her. I want my mom, uh, you don’t have to do that. I’ll, I’ll go with her. I’ll walk down with you. Hey mom, you need help. Okay. I’m gonna get it for you, okay? I’m gonna go in the ambulance with you,

please. Just get me outta here.

Oh, I can’t believe I’m feel bad for her, not me. I mean, saying her insane. She’s got a lot of people, you know.

It’s never ending. Uh, I’ll see you. Thank you again for my birthday. Surprise.

Good morning, doc. Merry Christmas Eve. Oh, oh

wow. Strawberries. Hmm. Whipped cream breakfast bed. I think you’re spoiling me. You deserve bed so much more. It looks really beautiful. Thank you.

You tossed and turned all night. Oh, I hope I didn’t keep you awake. I’m not worried about you. So talk to me.

Last night at the chapel and when the explosion happened before I even had time to process what happened? I was thinking about some, about someone about.

She’s been known to have God in churches. And then, um, I woke up this morning and I realized that she’s living.

[ Sirens blaring ]

Baker: Officer, don’t lose her, but be aware, perp is very dangerous.

[ Sirens blaring ]

Steffy: Are you sure it’s sheila carter driving the car?

Baker: Do you have a positive id?

Officer: Affirmative. Matches subject’s description.

Perp is driving a silver suv

transitioning from

405 south to 105 east.

Finn: Okay, well, don’t lose her. She can’t get away again.

Baker: Suspect is dangerous. Assumed to be armed. Stay on her. Backup is on its way.

Officer: Copy.

Baker: Is anyone else in the car?

Officer: Negative.

I don’t see anyone.

She’s accelerating. Trying to evade.

[ Sirens blaring ]

Katie: Well, I’m proud of you, you know, and choosing yourself, setting a good example, but ridge has been the love of your life.

Brooke: Yes, he is. He’s always been the center of it. The motivation behind every decision I’ve ever made. I mean, think about it. How much energy did I spend trying to hang onto him or trying to fight for him? And taylor lived her life pretty much the same way, so it had to stop.

Katie: So, you’re just ending the tug of war? You’re both dropping the rope?

Brooke: We’re ending the anxiety and the uncertainty and feeling less than. Ridge went away to do some thinking and taylor and I did some thinking of our own.

Katie: Sounds like it.

Brooke: And ridge is very important to both of us, but we need to take care of ourselves.

Katie: And you said all this to ridge?

Brooke: Yeah. Taylor and i were waiting for him in his office when he got back.

Katie: Oh! That must have been a surprise for him, the two of you together.

Brooke: I think he was more surprised to find out why.

Katie: So, you did it? Literally, you kissed ridge goodbye.

[ Brooke laughing ]

Brooke: Yeah. I mean, it’s about time, right?

Katie: Well, I know what it’s like to reach that point where you’ve just had enough. You know, you can’t do this anymore and you have to move on. And I also know that that can feel liberating, but it’s not always easy. So tell me, how do you really feel about all this?

[ Siren blaring ]

[ Car honking ]

Sheila: No, no. I’m not going back to prison. I’m not going back to prison.

Finn: How long until backup gets there?

Steffy: Try to cut her off. Do a pit maneuver.

Baker: That’s too reckless. We don’t want to endanger the public.

Finn: No, letting sheila get away is the most dangerous thing that you could do.

Baker: Officer, talk to me. What’s– what’s your choice?

Officer: Still in pursuit.

Currently on the 605 north,

getting on the 210 westbound.

Suspect is driving erratically.

Baker: Backup should be there any minute.

Finn: Okay, well they better get there fast. You give sheila too much time, there’s no telling what she could do.

Steffy: She shot her own son. She’ll do whatever it takes to protect herself.

[ Siren blaring ]

[ Brakes squeaking ]

Sheila: Move! Move! I’m steve.

Katie: I’m not questioning your decision, but I just want you to know, you can be honest with me. I mean, ridge has been a huge part of your life for a long time.

Brooke: And I will miss him.

Katie: So, you are feeling a little bit of a loss?

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: A little, but for the most part I just feel so… so free.

Katie: From ridge?

Brooke: Oh! From this whole cycle that I allowed to happen for so, so long. I’ve been putting all my faith in our destiny when I should have been putting all that faith in myself.

Katie: So, you’re okay?

Brooke: Yeah, I’m okay. I did the right thing for me and for my family. And we weren’t punishing ridge or belittling him in any way.

Katie: Well, you and taylor had every right to feel angry. I mean, he left you and aspen and then, my god, he left taylor at the altar.

Brooke: I know, that was terrible. Really. It was something that taylor and I would blame each other on in the past.

Katie: But not anymore.

Brooke: No, never again!

Katie: I mean, I don’t mean to overstate this but this is huge for you!

Brooke: Yeah. Kind of feels that way to me too. I just didn’t see the point anymore. To blame taylor for my unhappiness or her children to blame me for hers. It didn’t make sense. I mean, we all have choices to make, right? So taylor and I made ours.

Katie: To stop fighting over ridge.

Brooke: I can see how beneficial that is now. Also, I see how at peace you are from moving on from bill. And donna, she chose herself and then she found joy with eric.

Katie: Well, if you’re looking for more peace and joy, you can come to eric’s house for christmas.

Brooke: I will be there. I wouldn’t miss it for the world.

Katie: Yay! Yay! Good.

Brooke: And also this year is gonna be even more special because donna is gonna be there hosting it with him.

Katie: You don’t think thomas will come, do you?

Brooke: I don’t know. I mean, taylor said that he’s gone underground. Nobody’s heard from him.

Katie: It’s probably for the best.

Brooke: Well, we don’t really wanna think about thomas when we have somebody else we need to think about. Sheila carter’s on the loose.

[ Siren blaring ]

Sheila: Come on, come on.

Officer: She’s trying to

lose me.

Finn: Where is air support?

Steffy: Oh, this can’t be happening.

Baker: Stay with her, officer. Stay with her!

Officer: Heading

towards downtown.

Sheila: No, don’t stop. No, no, no, no, no. Why are you stopping?

[ Siren blaring ]

[ Car honking ]

[ Loud, continuous car honk ]

[ Sheila groaning ]

Officer: The vehicle

stopped.

Finn: Look, if sheila gets out of the car, she could be armed.

Steffy: Oh, my god! Where’s backup?

Baker: Do not let her get away, officer! Do not let her get away! (Vo) red lobster. The finer points of fun dining

Brooke: There you go.

Katie: Thank you.

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: I was hoping to see R.J. Over the holidays, but he isn’t coming home.

Katie: Neither is will.

Brooke: Our independent boys.

Katie: Mm-hmm. So R.J., Um, is spending the holidays with friends?

Brooke: Yeah. He was so excited about it. I couldn’t really complain.

Katie: But you wanted to. I know the feeling.

Brooke: I just miss him. I wanna see him, but they have their lives to lead. So what’s will doing?

Katie: Uh, he’s skiing with friends.

Brooke: Oh, nice! And bill didn’t make a big push for the family to be together for christmas?

Katie: Oh, he did. He did. He– he suggested that we, I don’t know, sail around on the stella maris. He– it was crazy because his week long suggestion suddenly turned into months and I– I tried to say no gently, but he was just, he was so upset and hurt and vulnerable. I just don’t know what’s going on with him.

Brooke: Well, it could be a difficult time of the year.

Katie: Yeah. Yeah, it is. Especially with families like ours. And we’re all spread out all over the place and connections are frayed and I just… I don’t know when I’ll see bill again. I mean there’s really no reason to anytime soon. I’m not gonna see him over the holidays.

Brooke: Maybe he’ll meet up with will somewhere.

Katie: Yeah.

Brooke: I don’t think we’ll be seeing thomas. And we may have an unexpected visitor on the radar.

Katie: Oh, don’t say it!

Brooke: Sheila could be anywhere.

Katie: You don’t think she’d stick around los angeles, do you?

Brooke: I don’t know. She didn’t make a run for it before. We all thought she was dead!

Katie: This whole thing is insane! I mean, faking your own death, cutting off a toe. It’s crazy, even for sheila.

Brooke: Oh, god! It’s ridiculous. It just shows the length she’ll go to. She’s capable of anything.

[ Siren blaring ]

Sheila: Uh!

[ Car honking ]

[ Siren blaring ]

Sheila: I’m not going down like this. No way! No way!

Finn: Did he get her?

Baker: Officer, what’s going on?

Officer: There’s heavy

traffic, side streets are

blocked. She has nowhere to go.

Finn: She’s cornered?

Steffy: Don’t wait. Get her. Get her now!

Baker: Officer, as soon as you’re clear, you have go ahead to move in.

Officer: Attention,

this is lapd.

Everyone remain in

your vehicles.

Repeat. Remain inside

your vehicles. Police officer.

No, stay in your car.

Stay in your car.

[ Tires screeching ]

Officer: Get down!

[ Cars honking]

Suspect fleeing.

I need backup now!

Steffy: What’s happening?

Baker: Officer?

Officer: Delivery truck

moved, there was an opening,

sheila took it.

She cut over the parkway

and took off eastbound.

I’m blocked in.

Suspect is at large. Repeat.

Suspect is at large.

Steffy: No!

Baker: Go after her.

Officer: I can’t get around.

She’s gone. She–

sheila carter is gone.

Sheila: I’ll never count me out.

[ Sheila laughing ]

Baker: I want all units canvassing the area. She doesn’t have a lot of options right now. Updates every ten minutes.

Finn: So that– that’s it? We just search the city?

Baker: She can’t have gotten far.

Steffy: How can this happen? One minute, she’s trapped, and the next, she’s gone?

Baker: We’re going to find her. Now, unfortunately we lost her around beverly hills, so that’s close to your families. They need to be extremely careful. Alert your security teams.

Finn: Look, you– you– you had her! She was about to be caught!

Baker: We’ll get her back.

Finn: How? Every time we close in on her, she slips away. How much closer do we need to get? My family’s in incredible danger right now!

Baker: And I intend to make sure that nothing happens to them. Sheila carter has been playing games with us, but she’s not going to win. I’m going to find her and I’m going to bring her to justice.

Steffy: I wanna believe you, chief, but sheila has been playing this game long enough and she always escapes!

Brooke: I know sheila is dangerous, but if she really wanted to harm us, she’s had plenty of time.

Katie: Maybe she’ll leave town.

Brooke: Maybe or she’ll try.

Katie: Do you think they’ll catch her?

Brooke: I certainly hope so. Until they do, we can’t let this paralyze us with fear because I know that’s what she wants. That’s how she can control us. But we need this. We need this time to celebrate. We have to have this holiday together.

Katie: Do you have enough security?

Brooke: As much as we can without turning the house and the office into a fortress.

Katie: Oh, it’s sheila who should be in jail, not us.

Brooke: Exactly.

Katie: Have you heard anything new from the police?

Brooke: They’re updating their security team, and if there’s something we need to be aware of, I’m sure they’ll tell us.

Katie: Do you feel confident that sheila will be found?

Brooke: She can’t get away this time.

Finn: Are they gonna find her? She couldn’t have gone far.

Steffy: That’s what I’m afraid of. My family lives in that neighborhood. I mean, she could be headed there right now.

Finn: Well, you heard the cops. She’s fleeing.

Steffy: And she always escapes! Look what happened last time! She shows up and she took you hostage.

Finn: Okay. Nothing like that’s gonna happen again.

Steffy: Something always happens when it comes to sheila! She terrorized our family. She attacked my mother, my grandmother, and when we finally thought we could put her behind us, you know what she does? She shows up! She shows up at our wedding and she announces that she’s your birth mother! She’s a threat to us and she’s a threat to our children. And when I finally figured out a way to drive her away, I forgot. I forgot who I was dealing with.

Finn: Hey. Hey. You’re just trying to protect your family, okay?

Steffy: You’re not

going anywhere.

Sheila: Let go of me.

What the hell do you think

you’re doing?

Steffy: You claim to be

this reformed woman.

You said you put your

devious ways behind you.

Sheila: I have.

Steffy: You’re– you’re just

sick, you’re unhinged.

You shot my mother!

Maybe she can forgive you,

but I can’T.

Now, you need to stay away

from us.

You should be behind bars.

Sheila: I served my time.

Steffy: It didn’t do you

any good!

You didn’t come out

a better person.

You hurt people to get

what you want.

You hurt brooke to have access

to finn and hayes,

access you’re never gonna have!

Sheila: Because you say so.

Steffy: That’s right.

Finn is my husband.

Hayes is my son.

I’m in control,

so know when to give up.

Sheila: Never!

Steffy: Everyone’s gonna

know what you did, sheila.

Everyone’s gonna know

the truth.

Sheila: Oh, it’s not gonna

happen. Steffy, I can stop you.

Steffy: From going to

my father? Not a chance.

Sheila: You know what?

I will if I have to.

You know what it’s like.

You’re a mother. You’d do the same.

Steffy: I tried to put an end to her reign of terror, instead, she takes out a gun–

[ Gun shot ] And tries to take my life.

Finn: I couldn’t let her do that.

Steffy: You risked your life to save me. You could have died.

Finn: I almost died, but I fought my way back so I could come home to you, right? So, I could be your husband again and be a father to our kids. That’s all I thought about when I was wounded and trapped in that room. It was our family and our life together. That’s all I’m thinking about right now, okay? That’s how I know that they’re gonna find sheila and bring her to justice because I am not gonna give up until they do. Sheila’s gonna go to prison and our family will be safe.

Steffy: Oh, god!

Finn: Okay?

Steffy: Oh!

Sheila: You thought you could catch me? Think again. [ Evil laughter ]

Mariah: Hey, mom, is this the box you were looking for?

Sharon: Oh, yay! You found it! That is full of all my favorite holiday keepsakes.

Mariah: Uh, surely you can’t mean this old thing.

Sharon: Uh, yeah! Who wouldn’t love a holiday musical light-up tv?

Tessa: Ooh, that’s a favorite?

Sharon: Yeah!

Mariah: Mom, it’s so corny, and it only works, like, half the time.

Sharon: Okay, it is not christmas unless that is prominently displayed somewhere for everyone to see.

Mariah: Uh, except it’s kind of an eyesore.

Sharon: No, don’t say that. Nick gave it to me when we spent our first christmas together. And he meant it as a joke, and it always made me laugh.

Mariah: Well, that is just like him, making dad jokes before he was even a dad.

[ Laughter ]

Sharon: Give that to me.

[ Knock on door ]

Chloe: Surprise! It’s your best friend bearing carbs and companionship.

Chelsea: Well, this is a surprise. I’m so spoiled. First billy, then adam, and now here you are.

Chloe: Clearly saving the best for last. And look what I brought — esther’s famous kringle.

Chelsea: Huh. Well, I thought I was full, but esther’s famous kringle? Come on.

Chloe: Well, I’m not allowed to go home unless I get photographic evidence of you trying some, along with a full, detailed critique.

Chelsea: I know what you’re doing here. You came to check in on me.

Chloe: No. I mean, can’t a friend just want to hang out with her bestie?

Chelsea: And shouldn’t you be home with your family, getting ready to celebrate the holidays?

Chloe: Honestly, I just needed a moment away from miles yanking the ornaments off of the tree. And bella is still singing the song she did at her christmas pageant.

Chelsea: Aww, that’s sweet.

Chloe: Yeah, the first thousand times. I love my daughter’s little angelical voice, but if I hear that song one more time, I swear I’m going… so, you would actually be doing

me a favor in giving me a quiet sanctuary.

Chelsea: Well, then, by all means, come in.

Chloe: [ Sighs ]

Chelsea: To be honest with you, I’m taking a holiday from the holiday music, as well. So let’s just sit back, relax, and enjoy esther’s delicious pastry.

Noah: Big holiday party coming in tonight. If that space can just be cleared before then, that’d be great. Hey, dad. What brings you in tonight?

Nick: I figured this place would be fire right about now, with all the holiday cheer in the air.

Noah: Okay, I’m really sorry about this, but I’m actually gonna have to give you a warning. We have a strict, strict no-slang policy for people in your age group.

Nick: Well, that just hurts, son.

Noah: [ Chuckles ] You look, uh, awful spiffy for someone flying solo…tonight.

Nick: Look at you. You look great.

Sally: Thank you.

[ Object thuds ]

Adam: Father.

Victor: Hey, son. I’m surprised to see you.

Adam: Yes, I, um — I’m just here to pick up connor from decorating the tree, but i may be a little early.

Victor: Well, as you can see, the tree has already been trimmed. I think connor is right now in the kitchen baking some goods with nikki.

Adam: Okay.

Victor: Last time we talked, you wanted nothing to do any more with your family. What changed?

Mariah: Good.

Tessa: Mariah, why are you putting that one on top? I mean, it doesn’t even sparkle or anything.

MarMariah: Well, a tree topper doesn’t have to light up. It just needs to be pretty.

Tessa: But it’s supposed to be the icing on the cake. It’s supposed to be the pice de résistance.

Mariah: Okay, I can’t wait for noah to get here because he’s gonna see my vision and he’s gonna agree with me.

Tessa: [ Chuckles ] Look, no offense, but noah’s gonna agree with me because your idea is less than inspiring. So, good thing we can count on his artistic eye.

Sharon: Oh, ladies, please. Is this your first official fight as a married couple?

Mariah: You know what?

Tessa: I think it might be.

Sharon: Okay, well, that’s the sign of a pretty strong marriage if the only thing you disagree on is what ornament to put on top of a christmas tree.

Tessa: When you put it that way, you’re right.

Mariah: You know what? I’m gonna call faith. I’m gonna get her opinion on this.

Sharon: No, no, no!

Tessa: No, no, no! Faith is in switzerland. It’s the middle of the night there. That is a no-go.

Sharon: Yeah. Trust me. Trust me on this one. I, uh — I know that faith does not like being woken up at 3:00 in the morning by anyone, not even her mother.

Mariah: I mean, I’m surprised you even let her go with her roommate’s family, especially on christmas, her first christmas at school.

Sharon: I know. It took every ounce of my strength to let her go, but this was such a great opportunity. How could I deny her a european vacation at christmas? As hard as it was, I had to let my daughter be free.

Noah: Well, I hope you enjoy our special seasonal holiday drink.

Sally: Mmm! That’s delicious.

Noah: Great. Alright, well, I have some other guests I have to attend to, so I’ll see you guys later.

Nick: Hey, thanks again for the spot, bud, on a fire night like this.

Sally: Oh, are you sure you used that word correctly?

Noah: No, no, he’s definitely not.

[ Chuckles ]

Nick: Hey, congratulations. You got a smile out of my son. That’s not easy to do.

Sally: Well, you know, i realize that your kids aren’t exactly thrilled about the idea of us as a couple, but, you know, I have a feeling it’s gonna take a lot more than just a joke at your expense to get noah’s approval. But I’ll take the win.

Nick: You have an ease to you tonight. It’s almost like a — an aura of happiness.

Sally: Well, for the first time in ages, I actually feel like I’m in a really good place. I’m not chasing drama. I am not running from it. And I’m not creating it. I have a clear vision of my professional path. And my personal path is actually looking pretty sweet at the moment, too.

Nick: Mm. Is that a fact?

Sally: I have to admit, i really like this whole “going slow” thing. It actually gives me a chance to savor the moment.

Nick: I like it, too. I like it a lot.

Adam: Look, I was hoping to discuss christmas day with you. I would like to bring connor to the ranch for the family festivities.

Victor: You know you’re always welcome here, especially with your boy and especially for the holidays.

Adam: I appreciate that.

Victor: I love the idea that both of you will come.

Adam: Well, you might not be too happy when I ask you for my second favor.

Victor: Oh, yeah? What’s that?

Adam: I’d like chelsea to come, as well.

Victor: Whose idea was that? Connor’s or hers?

Chloe: And there are cookies just on every surface for miles to grab by the handful.

[ Both laugh ]

Chelsea: Ahh. I’m so glad you’re here. I needed this. I feel like everyone, you know, wants to talk about my mental state and how my therapy’s going. It feels good to just sit here with you and laugh.

Chloe: Well, I don’t want to ignore those topics if you want to talk about them.

Chelsea: Well, um, there actually is something I want to share with you.

Chloe: Okay.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] So, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, obviously, revisiting my past behaviors, things I’ve done, and I have been making amends.

Chloe: Well, that sounds brutal. And very brave of you.

Chelsea: Well, I don’t feel brave, but it was necessary. I’ve done it with, uh, billy, adam, victoria, even sharon. It wasn’t easy, and it wasn’t fun, but every time I do it, i feel like it releases a burden off of my back. You know, being able to look somebody in the eye and tell them I’m sorry for my past actions and for hurting them, it’s been really helpful. Cathartic, even.

[ Clears throat ] So, I’m hoping to do it again now…with you. Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Nick: I think we need to talk about the elephant in the room.

Sally: [ Sighs ] What elephant is that?

Nick: Your christmas day plans.

Sally: Must we? I mean, why ruin a good time?

Nick: Look, um, I know we’re taking it slow, but I’d really, really like to include you.

Sally: Thanks. But I have some complicated feelings surrounding holiday celebrations. Would it still be considered taking it slow if I invited you back to my suite for a nightcap for this conversation?

Nick: I think that’s fair.

Adam: No, dad, okay? It — it was my idea to include chelsea. My son deserves to be around the people he loves most without bouncing between locations.

Victor: Have a seat, son.

[ Breathes deeply ] Look…I feel for the boy. And I understand he wants to be with his mother, especially during the holidays. But you know that I can’t forget that she threw a wrench into victoria’s life by insisting on telling johnny that she is his biological mother.

Adam: Chelsea didn’t intend to wreck victoria’s life or johnny’s life. She had no idea how he was going to respond.

Victor: [ Sighs ] How do I know that she isn’t using this opportunity to get closer to johnny, which would upset victoria? You know that. So…no, son, I — I don’t want her here.

Chloe: Chelsea, we are best friends. We’re good. I mean, if anyone needs to make amends, it’s me.

Chelsea: You?

Chloe: Yeah. For blowing up the cabin with adam in it. And I’m still embarrassed about running away with connor to paris all those years ago.

Chelsea: I appreciate you saying all that. But this is about me making amends. I have to do this. And I’m actually not referencing stuff that happened a long time ago. I’m talking about this year.

Chloe: I thought we got past all that.

Chelsea: I feel like I need to own up to my anger at you. I blamed you for everything that went wrong at newman media or fenmore’S. You know, I rejected your concern over my obsession over adam and sally and then rey. I didn’t want to listen to anything you had to say. I accused you of being a bad friend, when, really, you saw the warning signs before anybody else. You confronted me. You were willing to jeopardize our friendship in order to force me to see the truth.

Chloe: I was just worried about you.

Chelsea: I realize that now. You knew what was happening. I was spinning. And I was pushing you away when, really, you were just being the best kind of friend because you were being an honest one. And I’m really sorry for everything I put you through. And I’m thankful, and I’m grateful that you stuck with me. And I’m so grateful that you still care about me.

Chloe: Apology accepted. And I just want you to know that [Sniffles] I just want us to let go of the past and focus on the present and the future and about you getting better so you can reach your full potential. I am here for whatever you need, and I just want to try to help you find your purpose.

Chelsea: I know.

[ Chuckles ]

Sharon: Alright, guys, here you go.

Tessa: Oh, what’s all this?

Sharon: Mmm!

Mariah: Well, I thought we could use some delicious holiday treats to celebrate our decorating.

Noah: Guess I’m a little late. This place seems like it’s already done.

Sharon: Hey!

Mariah: Hey! No, no, no, we are not done until we get your professional seal of approval.

Noah: You got it. Looks great to me.

Mariah: Mm-hmm. And the tree topper?

Noah: Yeah. Yeah, I like that you guys went with something a little more subtle. And you definitely earned this little cookie break you’re about to take.

Mariah: And also because mom is missing faith right now. So, I was wondering — maybe you have something a little stronger than cocoa, maybe one of glam club’s new, fabulous holiday cocktails?

Sharon: Yeah?

Noah: Sorry. I don’T.

Sharon: Ohh!

Tessa: Well, we’re meeting with a pregnant woman after new year’s to discuss the possibility of adoption.

Sharon: Oh, really? That’s amazing!

Tessa: Yeah.

Sharon: That’s great! Uh, mariah? What’s wrong?

Tessa: Oh, no. Did I blow it? I’m sorry. I know we agreed not to say anything. Hi, I’m lauren, I lost 67 pounds on golo.

Sally: I don’t want you to feel obligated to include me in your christmas plans. Joining your family for the holidays is not in the “taking it slow” manual. I checked.

Nick: I would absolutely love to bring you to the ranch for christmas, but my sister and parents have some trust issues where you’re concerned.

Sally: I’m not surprised. Victoria fired me, and even though I tried to withstand victor’s judgment whenever i worked at newman, I know I never really won him over.

Nick: Actually, it’s, uh — it’s worse than that.

Sally: How so?

Nick: Uh, my dad had a dossier prepared of your time in L.A. To try and scare me off.

Sally: [ Sighs heavily ]

Adam: Look, I’m — I’m telling you that chelsea doesn’t have any ulterior motives. If anything, I’m hoping that she’ll put aside her qualms and hesitations about being in your home after everything that you did to her.

Victor: What do you mean, after everything I did to her? What are you talking about?

Adam: I’m talking about you forcing her to fake a mental breakdown over poisoning rey to get her institutionalized.

Victor: Are you forgetting i did it for her benefit, for heaven sake? I prevented her from being criminally prosecuted for nearly killing a man and then blaming you for it.

Adam: Okay, look, I’m not here to fight or dredge up some old history. I’m here to make a plea for my family on christmas. My family, something you claim to value. And as far as johnny’s concerned, he and connor have actually grown closer since finding out they’re biological brothers. So, I think it’d be good for them to spend, uh, some holiday time together. I know connor would like to be around all of his family on christmas.

Victor: Remember, son, you were coming to see me to ask me a favor, okay? So watch your tone. Now, if this means as much as you say it does to you and to connor… then you’re welcome. Chelsea can tag along, okay?

Adam: I appreciate that.

Victor: Good. You should.

Chloe: Ahh. I mean, how long has it been since we’ve just hung out like two girlfriends, laughing, crying?

Chelsea: Mm-hmm.

Chloe: Ahh, I… I really miss this. And I just have to say, as your most honest friend, I can see that you are doing a lot better.

Chelsea: I am. You know, at first I was faking it to make it, you know, just putting it on a front so everyone wouldn’t be so worried about me. But now I’m feeling stronger.

Chloe: That’s so good to hear.

Chelsea: What I went through was a real wake-up call for me. So [Sighs] Figuring out my new purpose, whatever that may be, is part of my new journey.

Chloe: Well, like I said before, whatever you need, I’m here.

Chelsea: What I think I need is a total and complete personal and professional makeover.

[ Laughs ] So, I will keep you posted because I’m definitely gonna need your help because this time I’m gonna get it right.

Tessa: I am so sorry.

Mariah: [ Sighs ]

Tessa: I got carried away. And, honestly, I didn’t think you would mind me telling sharon and noah.

Mariah: It’s fine. I’m not mad. I just… I don’t want to get everyone’s hopes up just have them dashed again.

Sharon: You mean you don’t want to get your own hopes up, which is totally understandable. You know, you’re on this roller coaster of emotion. You just have to hang in there through the ups and downs.

Mariah: I just have all of these maternal instincts kicking in. I — I find myself sitting there and fantasizing about having this child in my arms, thinking about what time of year they’re gonna be born. Is it gonna be a boy or a girl? I’ve even decorated the nursery in my head. It’s just, even the idea of a baby is making its way into my heart.

Tessa: I mean, me too. That’s why I wanted to share it. It’s joyful. Yes, there have been disappointments…but it’s all part of the journey.

Sharon: This is the story of how you and tessa are making your way to your child. And, yes, there’s gonna be twists and turns, but you’re going to get there. And no matter what happens, this is still the next exciting step to reaching your goal. So, thanks for including me, tessa.

Tessa: Well, I hope I managed to cheer you up.

Sharon: You absolutely did.

[ Sighs ] The idea that we’re one step closer to a new baby coming into this family makes this holiday that much brighter. A dental tool is round for a reason.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Noah: Hey, mariah? I know I said everything looked good, but now that I think about it, mom’s musical tv would probably look a little better over there.

Tessa: Oh, that is a good idea.

Mariah: Yeah, anything that keeps it from the center stage.

[ Laughs ]

Sharon: Wait! No! It’ll get completely lost over there, and no one can even see it! Hey. Happy holidays.

Mariah: Hi.

Chloe: Hi. Yeah. We were just heading out, but then I saw the decorations.

Chelsea: We wanted to say hi. The place looks so festive.

Sharon: Oh, well, thank you. Come on in. Take your coats off.

Chloe: Thanks.

Chelsea: Okay.

Chloe: Well, I didn’t realize how friendly you and sharon got. I mean, that’s a change.

Chelsea: Well, it’s nice, right? Sharon’s really been there for me. A lot of people have.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Chelsea: Excuse me. Be right back.

Chloe: Okay.

Chelsea: Hello?

Adam: Hey, chelsea. Connor wants to stay at the ranch tonight. He is, uh, determined to decorate the barn, and he’s just convinced the horses need some holiday cheer, too.

Chelsea: Oh. Um, yeah. I was looking forward to spending some time with him, but it’s late already, so, sure. Far be it for me to deny the horses.

Adam: Are you sure you’re alright with it? You don’t mind being alone?

Chelsea: I’m fine. Don’t worry about me, okay? I’ll see you tomorrow.

Sharon: It’s terrible over there. If it has to stay there…

Noah: You know, come on. It looks so much better there.

Sharon: Then I have to get a bigger musical tv.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Nikki: Wait until you see how connor has decorated the barn.

Victor: Oh, yeah?

Nikki: He’s put red ribbons on the hay bales and he found a little christmas tree and he’s wrapping up apples as presents for the horse.

Victor: [ Laughs ] That’s cute. That’s cute.

Nikki: Our grandson seems pretty happy these days.

Victor: Yep.

Nikki: Victor?

Victor: Mm-hmm?

Nikki: I think that adam’s visit has troubled you.

Victor: Well, it hasn’t troubled me so much as it has made me curious. I think he wants to reconnect with his family and doesn’t know how. You know, he suggested that he bring connor for christmas.

Nikki: Well, of course you said yes.

Victor: Oh, yeah, I love the idea. However, he also suggested that chelsea come along.

Nikki: Oh. I think I know what that’s all about.

Victor: What?

Tessa: I don’t know.

[ Light laughter ]

Sharon: Chelsea, could you help me with something over here, please?

Chelsea: Sure.

Sharon: Here. Taste that and tell me what you think.

Chelsea: Okay. Mmm. Oh, that’s good. It hits the spot.

Sharon: Great. Now, what do you think about where we should put my musical tv?

Chelsea: Actually, you know what, sharon? I think I’ve been cooped up for too long. I think I need to get out. I think a walk on a crisp evening like tonight would be just what I need.

Chloe: Hey, I — I could go with you.

Chelsea: That’s so sweet, but I think I want to be alone.

Sharon: You sure you want to do that? It’s dark outside.

Chelsea: Yeah. I promise, guys. I’m — I’m fine. I just want to get a little air. I’ll call if I need anything.

Sally: Of course victor had me investigated. Ugh! Must have been a pretty thick file. None of it scared you off?

Nick: Didn’t bother to read it.

Sally: [ Sighs ] I really wish you would have. That way, I would have known if anything in my past was a dealbreaker. I mean, you deserve to know who I am and…what I’m capable of.

Nick: I think I have a pretty good idea of who you are.

Sally: Yeah, but not who i used to be. I’m not proud of a lot of the stuff that I did in L.A. Usually it was because I let my ambition or chasing after some guy get the best of me. I even… I faked a terminal illness to get what I wanted. And don’t pretend that doesn’t mean something to you after what ashland did. I know how much you hated him after what he did to victoria.

Nick: Just…stop, okay? I don’t want to hear any more about it.

Chelsea: [ Breathes deeply ] Adam. What are you doing here?

Adam: I, uh — I just saw you leaving crimson lights. I just wanted to check on you. Would, um — would you mind if I join you?

Sally: You don’t want to hear about my past because it’s so horrifying?

Nick: Some of what you told me is pretty extreme. But here’s the thing. Uh, I don’t want to hear about your misdeeds. Now, don’t get me wrong. I want to know everything about you. And I will talk about whatever you want. But the things that interest me are, like…childhood memories. First pet. You a dog or a cat person? Um, did you ever star a school play? You like sports? Please tell me you like sports.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: First celebrity crush. That’s what I want to know. Alright? All that other stuff — i promise you, I’ve done just as bad, if not more. So has everyone else in this town.

Sally: Yeah, I have noticed there are a lot of morally ambiguous folks around here.

Nick: Right? Some people are allowed to turn the page and move on. Others aren’T. I can’t stand that. I’m not gonna play that game. I know who you are now. That’s enough for me. I don’t need to read some dossier about you.

Sally: Well, in that case… …my first pet was an adorable little beagle.

Nick: Mm-hmm.

Sally: I starred as genna the gypsy in high school. And I excelled at acrobatics. And prince rocked my world.

Nick: There we go. This is the stuff that intrigues me.

Sally: Thank you, nick, for caring about who I am. And I don’t know about you, but I’m really excited to see where this is going.

Chelsea: I really am fine.

Adam: Well, I’m glad to hear that. I, on the other hand — I was feeling a little lonely tonight without connor. So I figured I would come and find you since you’re the only other person who would understand.

Chelsea: Hmm. I didn’t realize you felt that way, too. The holidays are tricky, you know? They can be wonderful and joyous, but, um, they can also be hard, can’t they?

[ Chuckles ]

[ Both sigh ]

Adam: So, we, uh, are all set for christmas at the ranch. You know, if you’re still up for it. Victor even promised to be on his best behavior.

Chelsea: Hmm. Being with the newmans will be a testament to my newfound strength.

Adam: You know, you don’t have to go if you don’t feel ready for it.

Chelsea: No, I want to go. I want to go. It’s important for connor. That place is magical for him, and I don’t want to do anything to dampen his holiday spirit. Plus, I need to see how he decorated the barn.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Mm-hmm. Just so you know, I, uh — i haven’t told victor and nikki about your recent hospitalization. I figured you should be the one to decide what you want to say and who you want to say it to. It’s your choice, so it’s not gonna come from me. I’m sure victoria feels the same way.

Chelsea: I appreciate that. I talked to my therapist about it, and she agrees. You know, I have to be in charge of telling the people that i want when I want. Plus, I really wouldn’t want to add to the drama [Chuckling] At that family event anyway.

[ Sighs ]

Adam: Well, don’t worry. I’ll be close. I’ll be your wingman. So, if you want to get out of there, just say the word and we will leave.

Chelsea: Thank you for your support and all your help with connor. I know this whole thing hasn’t been easy on you, especially since billy’s been involved.

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Chelsea: So, while we’re talking about open, honest conversation, is there anything you want to say about that?

Victor: What do you know about the chelsea situation?

Nikki: Victoria said that chelsea has been in a bad place, and I assumed it had to do with johnny’s initial reaction in hearing that she was his biological mother.

Victor: Mm-hmm. Well, I hear that johnny and connor are getting along quite well together now.

Nikki: Yeah. Connor mentioned johnny when we were trimming the tree. I think they have become closer.

Victor: Yeah. Well, according to adam, it would do both chelsea and connor good to spend the holidays with us.

Nikki: Well, you know, I feel all families should be together on the holidays.

Victor: I know you do, baby.

Nikki: That’s why it’s good that adam wants to be here with us.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Nikki: I know how happy you would be if you were able to bring him back into the family fold.

Victor: Well, that’s up to adam, you know? He’s the one who turned his back on us. He’s the one who decided to join jabot of all places instead of newman. So, if he wants to be back in the fold, then let him make the move.

Nikki: Perhaps him choosing to be with us on christmas is a first step.

Victor: Yeah. Yeah. My asthma felt anything but normal.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] Well, uh, so much for taking it slow.

Nick: Yeah. Did we even make it 24 hours?

[ Smooches ]

Sally: [ Sighs ] I really don’t want to interfere with your family plans for christmas. It’s one day. I’ll be fine.

Nick: Mm. You know what? I’m more than happy to change my plans…for you. So, how about if I spend some time with my family, make sure christian’s happy… and then I am all yours. We’ll do something special. Just the two of us.

Sally: That sounds perfect.

Nick: Yeah.

Adam: All that matters is your recovery, chelsea. So, if billy abbott can help facilitate that, I have no problem with it.

Chelsea: You mean that?

Adam: I do.

[ Sighs ] You know, your strength and your bravery through this whole thing — I mean the way that you faced it head on with honesty and integrity — inspired me. So it’s only fair that I be equally honest with you.

Chelsea: Thank you. What about you? How you doing this holiday season, huh?

Adam: Ahh.

Chelsea: I know your break-up with sally is still very fresh. And even though I’m not her biggest fan, I could see that the two of you had something special. So, how you feeling about all that?

Adam: Well, I will admit I do have moments of self-pity and loneliness. But I’m trying to focus on what I’ve got — a wonderful son with a caring mother. So, I think this holiday, both of us should just focus on our family.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Most of this was pre-empted by news, so we’ll have to get it from OnDemand.

Playing a game?

[ Gasps, laughs ] Yes, one I haven’t played in decades. Ah. I gave my number to a man. Phyllis, you’re dating someone? Shh, shh. Shh, shh, shh, shh. I’m texting someone. Ah! The usual? Yeah. I’m not sure I’m up for much more than that. Okay, well, um, do you like this gentleman? His spelling is good, and he uses punctuation. Okay. Alright. We’ll give him points for that. I’m glad that you’re happy. And you know what? Lenny would want you to be happy, too. Yes, he would. No one will ever replace my lenny. But… but? …It’s nice to feel special again. I’ve missed that. Yeah, because you are incredibly special, and you deserve someone who treats you that way. And you, as well. Does my friend sonny still make you feel like the only woman on earth? Mr. Corinthos just left. Josslyn’s guard will be here in 30. Okay. Thank you. Ms. Corinthos. It’s ms. Spencer. Sorry, ma’am. I-I never got the chance to thank you for helping me when I was…indisposed. I’m glad you recovered. Are you sure you don’t want to come with me? I’m fine here. I’ll keep an eye on her. That’s what I’m afraid of. Ooh, sorry. My mom’s a little overprotective. I get it. You don’t have to stay. I’ll lock up. I was given an order. I guess I have no idea what you do or don’t have to do. I can explain why I said that. There’s no need. It’s clear where we stand. For the record, I would stick around, orders or not. Stay. Go. I’m fine either way. Josslyn, isn’t this charade exhausting? Aren’t you tired of pretending? So we know what we need to say. We do. You know, a lifetime ago, this pregnancy could’ve been real. Yeah, I know. Remember? We thought aiden was yours. Maybe if that have been true and we just stayed together, we wouldn’t have caused so much devastation.

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry about you and finn. The issues I had with finn were probably insurmountable. We had a chance, just like you and ava. Now we’re both stuck in this stupid choice we made. I hope sleeping with esme was worth it. You know it wasn’T. But she is carrying my child, and if that baby’s born healthy and I get a chance to parent it… I won’t have any regrets. I wish I could say the same. You must really despise me. Never. It’s not possible. But I do think that we could use some space. The past few months have proven that we — we don’t work. I can accept you firing me, okay, but you did make a commitment. To who, linc? No, screw linc. I’m talking about blaze. You two seem to have a good rapport. Oh, uh, yeah, blaze is cool. She’s got a real passion. I mean, we don’t share the same dream, but I can relate. Okay, then, don’t let her down. Perform as scheduled tomorrow, record the single, and — and use the royalties to pursue a career in law enforcement. Chase, this doesn’t have to be a total loss. A girl?

[ Giggles ] You think wiley will be happy with a little sister? Well, as long as he doesn’t have to share his trucks, maybe. I make no promises. My mom is gonna be thrilled, and — and donna and avery are going to be over the moon. Also, prepare for an onslaught of, uh — of hand-me-downs. Who am I kidding? My mom’s gonna go to the store right when we’re done with lunch.

[ Chuckles ] Did I say something wrong? What if I leave my daughter motherless? What if she winds up like me? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. You are not going to leave your daughter, okay? We — we — we’re gonna beat this cancer. Joan was an only child, and there’s no evidence I have any siblings. Drew’s still looking for your father. Drew’s unclear as to who my father even is, and what if he’s gone, too? Then we’ll find somebody through the registry. Look, people find matches who aren’t relatives all the time. We’re not gonna give up. You’re not going anywhere. I’m not. I will not leave my daughter or my son. They need me. And I am not going anywhere without a fight. Drew. Hey. Hey. I’m so glad I got to see you again before my flight. Yeah. Yeah, me, too. Um, join me? Yeah, sure. Great. I wish we had more time.

[ Chuckles ] So do I. Really? Why? Because I don’t think you told me everything that you know.

do me a favor. Send a baby gift to the quartermaine gatehouse. Something nice. Gender-neutral. No card. You don’t have to have everything under control. There you go again, thinking you know me so well. Look, I pay attention, okay, especially to you. I’ve seen you in action, I know you’re tough in a crisis, but it is okay to be scared. I’m fine. No, you’re not. Okay? And that is okay. Just let go, joss. If there’s anywhere you’re safe, it’s with me. Appreciate you helping me. Elizabeth, I know how much this is costing you. I’m sorry. We’ve hurt people, nikolas. We’re gonna have to face that sooner or later. Brook lynn: Think it over. I’ll hold off on contacting linc about canceling the gingerbread jam, and I’ll call you later for your final word. I’ve already given you my final word — no. Okay, well, in that case, I guess I’ll start drawing up the paperwork to sever our business relationship, and I’ll drop them off at your place later. Don’t worry. Just, uh, send them over certified. Ava: Going somewhere? I don’t think so. Nina: I feel guilty. I just left a really good friend who has a broken heart. The man that she loved betrayed her. And you feel guilty because you’re so happy? Because sonny would never treat you that way? Well, sonny and I, we have been tested.

[ Chuckling ] You know. Hmm. I think you are the only person who supported us being together. And despite all the odds, we stuck with each other, and now I am happier than I have ever been. Nina, honey, that makes my whole day. What would do I do without you, my precious friend? You’ve been with me through all those dark times. Sometimes I thought the sun would never rise again. After all that I have lost… I finally feel peace. And I want that for you, too. I’m not sure what more I can tell you, but I can stick around, try to remember more. Are you sure, positive that I can trust everything that you recall? Excuse me? The stakes are too high here. I-I-I don’t have time for games, ms. Makenzie. I really don’t, alright? I checked out your story, the one that was identical to harmony’S. You haven’t told me the truth about willow’s mother. Every word out of your mouth has been a lie.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

My God, mom. Okay. I’m glad to see you too, baby. But we gotta get outta going anywhere. Nicole called the police. The police. I’m assuming this is a mystery woman you were searching for earlier. Yeah, she showed up in a disguise returning to admire her handy worth. No doubt. But don’t worry, Ava’s gonna pay you for what she did to your grandmother.

Hey, get your hand off. Hey, don’t worry, I can handle EJ Tripp. Just please go. No, I’m not gonna leave. Yes, you have to. Why? What’s going on? There is a bomb. What mom? Whatcha are you talking about? Talking about right here.

What was that? I don’t know. Thunder. Maybe. Hey, well let’s get back to the bomb and you just dropped. What do you mean? Kristen blackmailed you into breaking up the. Or she holding over your head? If you keep insisting that you are not a good person, I don’t think I have to tell an ex none. That confession is good for the soul.

Yeah, it’s too bad there’s not a priest around. No. Yes. You’re just gonna have to settle for the next best thing. It’s an old friend. So what’s weighing so heavily on your conscience?

You can talk to me. Kristen, I’m here for you.

Hey buddy. Hey, how about I take care of the next one? Hello. What’s this? By your favorite commission, beer Day? Well, that would suggest that you’re my favorite commission. And I guess you are, since you’re the one and only damn, talk about kicking a guy when he is down. Sorry about that. I’m more serious enough.

Any progress on building that case against CJ Damara for kidnapping my son? Well, nothing yet. Thank our trip. Safe. But he could have easily been killed.

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

You know, me, John, I, I spent most of my life on the naughty list. But everything I’ve done that that’s been wrong. I’ve always felt I was doing it for the right reasons. I don’t doubt that.

Cause Kristen, you have got as big a heart as anyone I know. And let me tell you something. Sometimes when, when we hadn’t kind of. Spirit and passion that you do. When we, when we so fiercely go after something we, we really want, we can inadvertently end up hurting people we really love. I know this is the last thing you’ve wanted to do.

Yeah. That is so true. That is so true. What I want, what, what I really want most is I want a loving family. I wanna be a good. I wanna be a devoted wife. Oh, but what I want most, what I want most of all, is Sarah. I want Rachel to know that she is loved and that she is safe.

That’s all we want for our kids.

I appreciate you telling me that I have a big heart, but I think you’re the only one on this planet who, who does . Well, it’s because people don’t know that you, like I do.

John, you’re a good man. Thank you. And uh, you’ve been very kind. Yeah. Like I said, I’m here for you whenever you want to talk. I appreciate that. All right. I, uh, have to head out. Gonna be late back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Picking up Rachel from after school program.

Um, John, I want to thank you. Thank you for the talk and for understanding.

If Kristen is holding a gun to your head, no, it’s not my life that she’s threatening then who’s,

look, I’ve said too much already. Won’t we just forget about this conversation? Okay. When, how am I supposed to do that? I don’t know. You know, you just told me you’re quitting your job. You, you told me you were having issues with Nicole. You got other things to focus on, obviously. So yes, I do, but this feels like one of.

Listen, Brady, if somebody you care about is in danger, probably somebody I care about too. Who is Kristen threatening to hurt

your mother? Kate. Kayla. And if I don’t do exactly what Kristen wants, all three of them die.

I’m here.

You.

Hey. That looks pretty bad,

but I’m sure about anyone else. Grandma come

if anybody hurt. Why’s Nicole?

So after what EJ did to my kid, he’s just gonna walk away. Scott, free fuck. Come on, Steve. Oh, look, you know how this works. I gotta find evidence that EJ is responsible for the kidnapping or that he ordered it. All right? And then we’re gonna take this son of a bitch down. Trust me. I want to do that as much as you do.

Maybe more. More. Why? More? Not more. Not more. Look, I shouldn’t have said that. You know, I mean the guy, the guy kidnapped your son. All right. It’s not more, it’s. Look, it’s just, um, what are you talking about? What’s going on, dude, why don’t I get the feeling that this is just as personal to you as it is to me, because it is.

I just found out that the guy’s shacking up with my. Hey Nicole. She was there. She was standing right there when the glass went off here. . Where did she, where she go? She sit here. Oh, Nicole, gosh.

Sorry I didn’t,

must landed on my arm because it hurts. Like how?

I’m okay. I’m okay. Thank God.

Mom.

She’s not breathing.

Mama. Damn it. Mama. Come on.

I can think, I forget your birthday, did you? Love of my life deserves to be celebrated every day, especially today. Baby, this is so sweet. I, I’m sorry that he forced you to stop doing whatever it was you were doing to join this little party, but I was so touch. Thank you so much. And now, yes, candle is already lit, so

make a wish.

Voicemail. Hey Doc, it’s John. I can’t believe that service is still going on, or maybe it went over the dam mirrors for the reception. Anyway, I had a long talk with Kristen. Got it open up a little bit, but she stopped you short of telling me what she’s hiding. But I’m even more convinced she’s holding something over Brady.

Now I’m even more determined to find out what that is.

I shouldn’t even be telling you this. Alright? But I, I’ve been keeping this inside. It’s been driving me nuts. Can only imagine. Part of Kristen’s threat was that if I told anybody that all three women would die. Die. How remember back in September, An Orpheus infected all those women with, with that biotoxin.

Yeah. How can I forget? Well, Kristen had the orchid that was needed for the cure, and she threatened to withhold it if I didn’t do exactly what she wanted, which was breaking up with Chloe so she could move in with you. Exactly. And Eric was the last thing I wanted, but my God, what choice did I have? You know, I’m fully aware what Kristen is capable of and I wasn’t about to put those three women’s lives at risk.

Well, thanks for the bear. No problem. Listen man, I’m sorry about the pending divorce. I know that’s gotta be tough. Yeah, it is. It is. It’s uh, you know, uh, quite. It’s a bit humiliating too, you know, cuz Nicole and I were married for about what, five minutes? Why is humiliating? You were in love. Yes, I was. I was in love with the most neurotic, disloyal person on the planet.

However, it’s all for the best Really. You almost sound convincing. I’ll keep you in the loop on your son’s kidnapping. Jada’s a good cop. Hopefully she’ll find some.

Hey, sweetness. What’s up?

He did what? Ejs. Okay. Okay. I’m on it. What’s going? Kayla just found out that Tripp took a flight to Salem earlier today. She’s convinced he’s coming here to confront EJ about Ava’s death.

I’ve got a pulse. Well, she’s breathing. Thank God when I got her outside she said she was already killed. Yes, she was right When you need to get her to a hospital. We all need to get outta here. And you walk. I’m a little woozy, but I’ll try. If you can’t, I can carry you. Ah. Oh. What, what? Oh, my leg is so good that it’s beam.

I, I didn’t feel it before coming. Johnny. One, two. Hey, help. Okay.

Happy your birthday, Sarah. Another trip around the sun. Enjoy your special day. Thank you so much, and thank you for celebrating with us. Our pleasure. And now back to work. Yeah. Yes, me too. In a minute. soon? Mm-hmm. , you can tell me what you wish for. I’m guessing you’re just a little bit too old for a opponent.

I wished that you would forgive me for making such a fool of myself when I accused you of being the clown, the kidnapped Bonnie and Susan. No, not me a fool. I, I hurt you,

Sarah. You already apologize for that. And there’s no reason to. No, honestly, I feel like there is. Honey, you have worked so hard since we have been together to make yourself a better man, and I shouldn’t doubt that. The least I can do is be honest and admit my mistakes, just like you’ve been honest with me and admitted your mistakes.

Excuse me, Dr. I’m sorry for interrupting. No, no. It’s okay. Sophia, hang on one second, honey.

Yeah, I, I will, I will get on that. Thank you so.

You look pale. It’s because, um,

there’s something you have to know.

Get him by way. Ceiling gonna come down away. Just go what? You have to leave home without you. They won’t budge.

So you and Chris. You’re really back together. No, no, we’re just living in the same house. She knows better than to expect anything more. Uh, she hasn’t pressed the issue. Not yet. But what happens when she dies? I mean, come on. I mean, why? I can’t figure it as how she’s got this Hold on. You. Why don’t you just kick her out?

Out? She give up the attitude cuz she claims that the women are gonna need a second dose after New Year’s or they won’t survive. And you believe her. Eric, how can I take that chance when their lives are at stake. Hmm. You’ve even been carrying this secret this entire time, man. Me neither. It has not been fun.

I let, I’ve been holding this inside and it’s been hell having to live with Kristen that’s been beyond hell. To top the whole thing off. I, uh, I lost Chloe to Stephan Damara. You’re gonna let Kristen get away with this. As long as those women’s lives are in jeopardy, Eric? Yeah, she’s gonna get away with it.

Listen man, you’ve gotta keep this between us, okay? If Kristen finds out Brady, I promise he won’t tell us all you and I together, we’re gonna figure out a way to stop Kristen from hurting you. The people we both love.

Okay. Alright. Okay. That’s right. Oh, go. I got you. We got you. Johnny. Johnny. He’ll be here. Well, Johnny, please, we can’t leave her here to die.

You’re my grandma. She believes in helping anyone no matter what she thought of. So in the spirit of Susan Bass,

What do you need? What do you need to tell

darling? What you need to know is that, oh, sorry. All. Oh my God. What’s going on? Uh, there’s been an explosion at St. Luke’s and they’ve already brought some people in. I’m so sorry, honey. I, I thank you for the party. I’ve gotta go. No, I need some.

Hey, hey. This is, uh, is Kristen here? She went to pick up Rachel at school. Nice face. What’s wrong? You got something you need to tell? That? Um, yeah, actually, actually I do. I just saw Eric. Okay. And how’s your brother? He’s not good. He just quit his job at Basic Black and things with him and Nicole are pretty bad and he doesn’t want to be anywhere near her right now.

I better head over to the Damaris. I don’t want Tripp getting into it with EJ and making things worse. I’ll go with you. Just uh, lemme grab this first Burnett.

Okay. Your son’s not at the Damaris. Where is he? He’s at the hospital. With his mother. Evidently, Ava Vitali is still alive.

Mom, I need you to wake up. Please.

Yes. Yes. You’re okay. You’re okay. Oh God. Oh, thank God. You’re okay. You’re okay. You’re, you’re safe. You have to believe me. I had no idea you were gonna in that church. Why? I went back in so I could get thank.

Hey dad. Hey. Hold off a second. You need to get checked out. It’s just a scratch. No, that hasn’t stopped bleeding since we left the chapel location. Just lemme get a nurse. It’ll take a second. I’m fine. I just, I just need to be with Nicole. Well, everything checks out. I don’t think that your arm is broken, but let’s get some x-rays just to be sure.

Okay. You’re really lucky. I know, and it could have been a lot worse. From what the EMT at the scene said, yeah, it could have been a lot worse. Ain’t gonna be all right. Thank God for that.

It’s too bad about Eric and Nicole. Let’s two have had a pretty rough road. Well, it’s about to get rougher. Ugh, I just heard that. Uh, Nicole leached onto ej. See, she was with Rafe and with your brother and now she’s with my. I guess some women are innately fickle. Where’s Rachel? Oh, uh, she asked if she could have a play date with her friend Amanda, and a Of course.

I couldn’t say no. That that’s okay with you, isn’t it? That’s fine with me, yeah. Okay, good. And then, then we can go pick her up together. Oh my God. Doug happened to you. Honey. What’s going on?

Hey, you are, uh, dad was sure in a rush. What happened to, uh, we all just came from my grandma, Susan’s memorial service at St. Luke’s. I was an explosion, right? I just heard about it. What was it? A gas leak. It was a bomb. A bomb. How did a bomb, David Vitali planted it. Not even vital. He’s dead. Yeah. So we all thought until we saw her at the church and she tried to blow us all to kingdom come

my precious trip. I don’t know what I would’ve done if something had happened. Mom, come on. Why? Why, why? Why would you do something like this? Why? Why would you put a bomb in a church where you kill innocent people? I’d like to know the answer to that too, son. I’m okay. You okay? You look like hell, I don’t sound much better.

Let’s get you somebody to check you out right now. No, no. I, I had to stay here with my mom. Hold, don’t worry. She’s not going anywhere. Are you a Vitali? You’re under arrest for five counts of attempted murder and whatever else the DA decides to tack on.

All right, well set. Make you follow up with your regular doctor, but I don’t see any sign of a concussion. Oh, surprised to Isaiah. I’ve got a very hot head. I can confirm that. All right, I’ll check on you guys later. Thank you.

You okay?

Not really. I, I tried to hide it back at the church, but when I was under that beam and we thought the roof might fall in, oh God, ej, I was so scared.

Well, no one’s here but us. You can shorten up.

So Johnny went to the hospital with EJ at a. He’s perfectly fine. He had a little scratch on his head. He’ll be okay. Mm. Well EJ shouldn’t have gone into that church and you said that uh, the roof didn’t fall on his head. . I’m surprised he didn’t get struck by a lightning. I don’t know how funny all of this is Chris and people could have died.

I’m so glad you’re okay, sweetheart. Oh, ah, that’s so sweet. You’re already kissing and making up. What are you talking about? Oh, well, your father confided in me that he and Marla had got into a fight and, uh, he stuck up for me when Marlena wanted to kick me out. You know what? Don’t deny it. Don’t deny you said as much yourself.

See here we are a few days before Christmas and your evil ice Queen stepmother wanted to kick me out into the. Hmm. How do you feel about that, Brady?

My mother said you were injured. I wished over as soon as I could. I, I’m fine. It’s just sprain. The doctor said she can be discharged. That’s good news. She’ll still need rest to heal. That’s why she’s coming home with me.

Thanks for coming.

Eva’s alive. You’re sure? Look, if you don’t believe me, go see for yourself. Rav’s questioning you now. Wait. She’s here in the. Yep. Got caught in the blast. Oh, I don’t get it. If she planted the bomb, why would she be anywhere near it when it went off? It was her son. If she didn’t know Tripp was gonna be in the chapel when she found out she tried to get him out, but she was too late,

does this man will go and steady again. What I heard pull moved on already. It means you’re back on the market. Shut up. Ava. Get much better. Tasted jewelry back when May today. Maybe you didn’t hear the part about. You have the right to remain silent. It wasn’t a suggestion. Okay, do we really have to do this right now?

I mean, she just regained consciousness and Hey, hey, listen to me. I’m no doctor, but it sounds like you have smoke inhalation. Now let’s go get somebody to check you out, chip, listen to your father,

okay? Okay. But I’ll be back soon. Alright? I’m gonna be here for you no matter what.

Nice. You know, I have a, maybe you managed to cheat death yet again, but this time you’re gonna have to live with the consequences of your actions. You’re going away for a very, very long time. We’ll see him at that.

Brady, do you want the mother of your child to be kicked to the curb? Oh, I mean, I guess I could, uh, Stay at the end. No. No. Chris, now I, I want you here so we can be a family for Christmas. Well, great. That’s what I want. So it’s settled. , I’m staying. Oh, 10. I am so glad that you are still alive to celebrate this beautiful holiday with Brady and Rachel and me, and of course, your charming husband.

Hmm. I believe this is going to be a joyous.

I just heard about Nicole. How’s she doing? She’s doing great. EJ is taking care of her now.

Hey, your dad’s gonna be okay. So is Nicole. Thank you for, uh, taking care of them. It’s my job. Somebody’s birthday.

Yeah, it’s uh, mine actually. Oh, well. Happy birthday. Thank you. As in or planned, this whole little surprise for me. Have you seen him? Uh, he was, uh, right out here, but you know, like the rest of us, he was pretty spooked when he found out Ava was still alive.

Just like old times, isn’t it?

Kristen Damara. Raw raised me from the dead and you took care of me. Now you’re gonna take care of me again. What are you talking about? Take care of your hair, huh? You’re gonna first get me out of these cuffs and then you’re gonna get me out of this hospital, because if you don’t, I’m gonna tell Sarah that you were my accomplice and the kidnapping of Susan.

Right.

Oh, I can’t move. Eldest buddy putting those burgers, cement, . You’re the one who insists on. I’m having two of them. Look guys, I know they’re feeling, but they are my favorite. You’re so sweet to remember. . Well, you’ve better run a couple weeks. Yeah, I mean it’s, it’s literally the least we could do. Thank you.

I almost forgot. This was in one of the bags. There you go. Buddy’s burger. Scratch off. See what you got,

Jack. No, but my next order fries on.

[ Door slams ]

Finn: Wait, so, brooke and taylor were united?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: That’s crazy.

Steffy: I– I know, it was so crazy. But, like, in the best way.

Finn: Wait, and you’re not disappointed? I mean, you’ve been pushing so hard to get your parents back together.

Steffy: Well, I’ve always wanted my mom to be happy, but I thought, you know, some of her happiness would be, with my father. But to see my mother and brooke put their differences aside, and choose themselves over a man? The happiness was there. And it was really powerful, and, inspiring. I’m so proud of my mom.

Finn: I am, too. But, I am nervous about mine. I mean, as much as I want to applaud brooke and taylor, it’s hard to have anything else on my mind, other than sheila, knowing that she’s still alive.

[ Knocking at door ]

Eric: Carter.

Carter: Hey, eric. Um, what’s going on?

Eric: I was hoping to have a word with you. Alone.

Carter: Okay

[ Uncomfortable chuckle ]

Bill: You’re guarded. I– I don’t blame you. But you could’ve phoned me off, you didn’t have come tonight, bu– but you did. You’re here. And that tells me, that maybe, you really do still care about me.

Katie: Bill, of course I care about you. I will always care about you–

Bill: Well, if that’s true, then you have to at least consider what I’m saying. Tonight could be a new beginning for us. But you have no idea how much I need that. Please, katie. Tell me you need it, too?

Carter: Is something going on?

Eric: Yeah, carter, um… we haven’t had a chance to talk. Not since, uh… everything that happened between us.

Carter: Yes, eric–

Eric: Yeah, look, I have donna in my life now, and she makes me very, very, happy, and I want you to be able to be happy, too. And, from what donna’s telling me, um–

Carter: Oh, [ Chuckles ] I think I know where this is going.

Eric: Yeah, to, ah, you and katie. Is that, uh, is that true?

Carter: We’ve been spending time together, yes.

Eric: She’s very important to me, carter. I would hate to see katie to get hurt.

Carter: I only want what’s best for katie, and whether that’s me or not, is too early to tell, but… I’m hoping so, but that’s katie’s decision. There is one thing I am certain of though. When it comes for what’s best for katie, it sure as hell isn’t bill.

Katie: We have talked about this. There’s nothing–

Bill: Okay, but before you answer, there’s something I want to give you.

Katie: I don’t want any gifts.

Bill: Oh, come on! I mean, ’tis the season, you don’t want me to be scrooge this year!

Katie: Okay, but seriously, I don’t need anything.

Bill: Oh, but that’s what the beauty of it. It’s not a thing, all right? It’s an experience.

Katie: An experience?

Bill: You, me, and will. A week aboard the stella maris. You name the destination, and I will make it happen. C’mon katie, doesn’t that sound beautiful? I mean, the three of us, we haven’t been together in such a long time. Oh c’mon, please. Please let me arrange this. Will would love it. It’ll give us a chance to bond together as a family. I-I know you want that. And, I want it, too. More than you could possibly imagine.

Steffy: It still freaks me out that I bumped into sheila.

Finn: Hey.

Steffy: I wish I’d gone after her. Maybe she’d be back behind bars by now.

Finn: No, look, you were in shock. Hey, don’t blame yourself.

[ Door opens ]

Steffy: Chief baker!

Finn: Do you have any news?

Steffy: Have you found her? Have you found sheila? My name is austin james. As a musician living with diabete

Eric: Well, I wish you luck. Katie has tried to move on from bill before.

Carter: And it’s never quite worked out.

Eric: No, it hasn’T.

Carter: I know.

Eric: Maybe this time it’ll be different, you know, their son is older. Keeping a family unit together for his sake may not be as important anymore.

Carter: No, I think katie’s finally realized that bill can’t give her what she needs. A man who can commit to only her, and not have eyes for her sister.

Eric: It’s a reasonable request for any relationship, wouldn’t you say?

Carter: I think so. No, katie would not have to worry about that with me. If I was lucky enough to be with her, she would never have to question my commitment.

Eric: You should tell katie that. Maybe under some mistletoe.

Carter: Mistletoe?

Eric: Uh-huh. Why don’t you come to the house for christmas, if you don’t have any other plans? Katie’ll be there.

Carter: Thank you. Yeah, I’d love to.

Eric: Oh, and as an added incentive, ah, bill is not on the guest list.

Carter: That’s even better.

[ Both chuckling ] Actually, she’s, um, with him now.

Eric: She is?

Carter: He reached out. Asked her to come over, she said he doesn’t sound like himself.

Eric: Yeah, well, whatever it is, it’s– it’s a manipulation. It’s a ploy.

Carter: A ploy?

Eric: He’s trying to get her to come back.

Bill: What better way to spend the holidays than the three of us, alone on our yacht, away from it all?

Katie: So you– you wanna do this soon?

Bill: Listen, we– we can stay away for weeks, for months, there’s no reason not to. Katie, I need this. You’ve no idea how much I need this time with you and our son.

Katie: I get that you want it, but, you– you keep saying that you need it.

Bill: I do. Seriously. You are my anchor. And, without you, I’ve– I’m sort of floating, uh, around, lately. Without you to ground me, it is a need. You are. I need you katie, like never before.

Finn: Is that why you’re here? You got sheila?

Steffy: Please say that’s true.

Chief baker: Not quite.

Steffy: What do you mean, not quite?

Chief baker: Well, it took a bit of digging, but we were able to pull some footage of her.

Steffy: But– but deacon said that they weren’t able to catch anything on camera at el jardino?

Chief baker: You think I trust deacon sharp? Hmph. No. We checked nearby establishments. A place down the street caught her on camera, she was leaving the restaurant. Didn’t look much like sheila, either, I’ll tell ya that. We have a direct match. Sheila carter is alive. Here we have our mystery woman caught on camera.

Steffy: This is the woman I bumped into!

Chief baker: Forensics was able to confirm with facial recognition, and retinal scan. It’s a 98% match. In our world, it means “no doubt”.

Finn: I knew it! I knew it!

Steffy: Oh my god, this whole time! Sheila really has been alive! When our daughter and her kids moved in with us… our bargain detergent couldn’t keep up. Turns out it’s mostly water. So, we switched back to tide. One wash, stains are gone.

[Daughter] Slurping

don’t pay for water.

Pay for clean.

It’s got to be tide.

Bill: I can’t do it. I can’t go at it alone, anymore.

Katie: Go at what, alone?

Bill: Life.

Katie: Bill. You’re lonely. That’s what this is all about.

[ Chuckling ]

Bill: I– I know– I know this doesn’t– doesn’t sound like me. But I– I– I feel like I’m losing myself.

Katie: Yet, you’re still wearing that necklace. You still, decided to put it on. Even though you know what it stands for. Do you really think that that’s gonna… lead you back to who you wanna be?

Bill: Then help me! Please? Anchor me. Anchor me, katie.

Katie: I can’T. I can’t be your anchor, bill. I can’T. It’s too much!

[ Sharp inhale ] I can’t hold you in place. You say that you need me. And I believe you, I do. I believe you, but– but you’ve also said that you need brooke, or someone like her. That– that’s what you want. You want to float, and do whatever you wanna do. You don’t want an anchor. Maybe you want someone who sees that sword, and admires it, for– for everything it signifies.

Bill: No, no. No, you– you’re not hearing me. You don’t understand. I really do need you–

Katie: What about– what about– what about what I need! I mean, it’s always been about what you want and what you need, and maybe– maybe, I need someone to hear me? You say that you– you keep learning things about yourself everyday. Your– you’re learning things about yourself. And you’ve done that. You’ve done that on your own, so maybe, maybe, you, should– should go to your yacht, and spend some time alone there, ’cause I– I can’t be with you.

Bill: What are you doing?

Katie: I’m– I’m gonna, um, I’m gonna get somebody to come pick me up–

Bill: No, no, no, no no. Please– please don’t leave–

Katie: I can’t, I can’T. I can’t give you what you want, bill, I can’t give you what you need.

Bill: Don’t go, not yet.

Katie: It was a mistake for me to come here

Bill: Please don’t, look, I can’t stand being alone in this house, and I can’t stand, I gained an enormous amount of weight due to a medication I was put on. When I started the golo plan and taking release, I was surprised at how easy it was for the weight to come off. I’ve never done anything better in my life.

Bill: I can’t do it. I can’t go at it alone, anymore.

Katie: Go at what, alone?

Bill: Life.

Katie: Bill. You’re lonely. That’s what this is all about.

[ Chuckling ]

Bill: I– I know– I know this doesn’t– doesn’t sound like me. But I– I– I feel like I’m losing myself.

Bill: Then help me! Please? Anchor me. Anchor me, katie.

Katie: I can’T. I can’t be your anchor, bill. I can’T. It’s too much!

Bill: No, no. No, you– you’re not hearing me. You don’t understand. I really do need you–

Bill: What are you doing?

Katie: I’m– I’m gonna, um, I’m gonna get somebody to come pick me up–

Bill: No, no, no, no no. Please– please don’t leave–

Katie: I can’t, I can’T. I can’t give you what you want, bill, I can’t give you what you need.

Bill: Don’t go, not yet.

Katie: It was a mistake for me to come here

Bill: Please don’t, look, I can’t stand being alone in this house, and I can’t stand, who I am without you. You’re right. You’re right. You don’t know how right you are. I– I am not a good person–

Katie: You, just– stop, stop, stop saying that! Stop saying those words. You’re not a bad person!

Bill: When I have you, when you’re leading the way. That is the man I want to be. I swear. I swear, katie, I have a greater appreciation for you, now more than ever. I love you. I want to you back. Yes, I– I need you. You don’t like this necklace. I– I don’t care, I– I– I’ll take it off. I’ll throw it away. I’m only wearing it because I– I feel, like I, uh, need it for, protection. But if I have you, I don’t need it anymore. So, here, here, come here.

Katie: No.

Bill: You– you take it. Take it. You do whatever, you want to do with it. I don’t care. I only care about you. That’s all I care about. I just care that you will come back to me. You will come back to me. You will stay by my side. Stay by my side, forever. Please, katie?

Finn: Look, we were all but certain that sheila severed her own toe and staged the bear attack. It was just a theory. Now the police have actual proof, after your bump-in with her.

Chief baker: I have to commend the both of you for re-examining the evidence. If it wasn’t for you two, this case would still be closed.

Steffy: Okay, but we’re still no closer to catching her.

Chief baker: I wouldn’t say that. The security footage was very useful. Not just in terms of proving that sheila was alive, but also, telling us where to find her.

Steffy: You know what kind of car she was driving?

Chief baker: Even better. Her license plate.

Steffy: Oh, my god, this is great!

Chief baker: A stolen vehicle. No surprise there. We’re circling in on her. It’s only a matter of time, before sheila carter is found and arrested. I’m jonathan lawson here to tell you about life insurance th

Bill: Katie, uh, please, please cancel the ride.

Katie: I think it’s best if I go.

Bill: No! It’s not best. We need to talk this through.

Katie: I think we’ve said everything we need to say.

Bill: We haven’t! We haven’T. There’s too much more. I promise you. I promise you. I will be the man that you need.

Katie: What happens when I believe you? What happens when you hurt me again?

Bill: That won’t happen. Those days are– are behind us, those days are– are over. I swear to you. I will be exactly the man that you want me to be. You gotta listen to me. If you don’T… katie, it’s now or never.

[ Knock on the door ]

Katie: He’s here.

Bill: Who’s here?

Katie: I didn’t use an app. I– I texted a friend.

[ Door opens ]

Katie: Thank you for coming.

Carter: Not a problem. Bill.

Bill: Don’t do this. You can’t be with him. Here. Here is where you belong. With me. With me.

Katie: Goodbye, bill.

Bill: Don’t, katie.

Chief baker: Sheila can’t hide forever. Especially now that we have plates. I got the entire lapd looking out for that car.

Finn: If she’s still in town.

Chief baker: I’ll drop this picture off to your head of security. They need to know what she looks like in disguise.

Steffy: Okay, thank you.

[ Phone rings ]

Chief baker: Oh, excuse me one second. Baker.

Policeman: Sir, I’ve got her.

Chief baker: Sheila carter?

Policeman: Her car. Description. I’m tailing her. Southbound on la cienega.

Chief baker: I’m putting you on speaker. Did you call it in?

Policeman: You were

my first call.

Not sure if she’s

monitoring scanners.

Chief baker: Officer, don’t lose her! But, be aware, perp is very dangerous.

Policeman: Copy.

[ Police sirens blaring ]

Appears vehicle is getting

[ Sirens continue ] The suspect is fleeing.

Steffy: Follow her! Is he– are you following her?

Policeman: In pursuit.

Chief bake: Don’t lose her.

Finn: You– you can’t let sheila get away!

[ Sirens continue ]
