[ Dramatic music ]

[ Dramatic music ]

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

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

Officer: The visitation room? Gee, I wonder.

Sheila: Is he tall, dark and handsome?

Officer: Maybe in his dreams.

[ Buzzer sounding ]

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

Sheila: Mike, what are you doing here?

[ Knocking on door ]

Li: How are you on this fabulous day?

Finn: Hey, mom.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Li: It wasn’t a good night.

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

[ Car honking ] Back off, you crazy bitch!

[ Crashing ]

[ Li shouting ]

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

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

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

Sheila: It’s true.

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

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

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

Sheila: Oh, and what exactly would that be?

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

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

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

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

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

Bill: By putting a bullet in my back.

Steffy: You said you were going to stay quiet.

Bill: And I have.

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

Bill: Sheila did the same for taylor.

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

Bill: I hear what you’re saying.

Steffy: You do?

Bill: Yes, I do.

Music (“I swear”) plays

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

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

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

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

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

Finn: I hope not.

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

Finn: I’m so sorry, mom.

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

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

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

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

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

Steffy: You’re actually hearing me.

Bill: I am.

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

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

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

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

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

[ Sheila sighing ]

Sheila: Why am I still here?

Officer: We keeping you from something?

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

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

Sheila: Did they give you a name?

Officer: I’m not your assistant.

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

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

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

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

Sheila: You’re so confident.

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

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

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

Sheila: And what day is that, li?

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

Sheila: Our son.

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

[ Sheila laughing ]

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

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

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

Bill: Yes, she is.

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

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

[ Bill sniffling ]

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

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Scoffs ]

[ Waves crashing ] So much for concierge service.

[ Shivers ]

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Scoffs ] 10 minutes out?

[ Sighs ]

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Grunts ]

[ Groans ]

[ Suspenseful music playing ] Oh! [ Breathing heavily ]

[ Gasps ]


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

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

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

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

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

[ Fireworks exploding ] Oh! I love fireworks.

[ Chuckles ] But not if they delay my boat.

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

Ich liebe dich, mama.

[ Chuckles ] I love you, too,

mein britta.

[ Air horn blowing ]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Grunting ]

[ Gasping, panting ] Help! Help! Help!

[ Grunting continues ] Help!

[ Both shouting ] Oh. Oh. Oh!

[ Grunting ]

[ Groans ]

[ Shouts ]

[ Breathing heavily ] Back off, bitch!

[ Gasps ]


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

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

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

[ Shouting ]

[ Grunts ] Run!

[ Grunting ]

[ Metal clanking ]

[ Fabric tears ]

[ Shouts ]

[ Groans ]

[ Gasping, coughing ]

[ Groans ]

[ Screaming, struggling ]

[ Gunshot ] Aah!

[ Panting ] Shoot her again!


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

[ Groans ]

[ Weakly ] Britt, you saved my life.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[ Door opens ]

[ Woman shivering ]

[ Shivering violently ]


Esme, where have you been? What happened?

[ Shivering ]

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

[ Grunts ]

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

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

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

[Breathes deeply] Avoided asking certain questions I didn’t want to know the answers to. And the department, they — they know that cops are human and have conflicts of interest, right? Of course. Of course. And every cop has to bow out of a case if they know they do have a conflict. Have you ever done that? Every time when it’s a direct conflict of interest, yeah. So you’ve done your duty, and you will continue to do so. You’re not dishonoring your badge by [Breathes deeply] Loving your father. And the fact that you are worried about this right now just goes to show me what a decent and responsible cop you are. Thank you. No, I mean that. You have a way ofcanceling out the noise… …and helping me see things clearly. It’s a gift.

[ Chuckles ] One of many. Yeah.

[ Cellphone ringing ] I-I’m supposed to be off the clock. No, no, no. It must be important. Take it.

[ Ringing continues ] Falconeri.

[ Sighs ] Are you the one who reported a hook sighting? I didn’t just sight her, I fought off that maniac. Ma’am, we’ve had at least 10 hook sightings tonight. Stories in the invader have people jumping at shadows, you know? No shadow drops that. Nor did a shadow ruin my favorite bag!

[ Police radio chatter ] Notify csi and get them down asap. And secure the area. We can’t have any evidence compromised. Get some more uniforms here. Keep any strollers away, all right? This is a crime scene. Ma’am, what’s your name? Dr. Britt westbourne. Dr. Westbourne, can you tell me what happened? I was on my way back to the haunted star when I heard the sounds of a struggle. When I got here, I saw the hook was about to stab this young woman, so I whacked her with my bag. Wait, s-so there was another victim? Where is she? I don’t know what happened to her. By the time I drove the hook off, she was gone. I don’t know about you, but I could use a drink. Scotch okay? Yeah, sure.

[ Bottle opens, liquid pouring ] Ow.

[ Bottle thumps lightly ]

[ Sighs ] Thank you.

[ Breathes sharply ] Never had scotch before, have you? First time for everything.

[ Sighs ] Take it easy. You’re still coming down off the adrenaline. You saved britt’s life. And mine. I owe you. You don’t owe me anything, joss. God, I can’t believe you had britt cover for us. That maniac needs to be captured. We should have stayed and given the police a statement. Okay, and told them what? Can you identify the hook? No. They were wearing a mask. Probably because diane had seen their face. Right, and I only saw her from the side. So what good would our statements have been? Britt can stay and tell them about the mask. Britt didn’t shoot the hook. You did. Right. I did, with a gun sonny gave me.


No one knew esme was here except for us and demetrius. I’ll send demetrius back to greece immediately. It’ll be like none of this ever happened. I don’t know how I let myself get pulled into this. I agreed to take care of esme, and I didn’T. And I didn’t take her desperation seriously. And because of it, this happened. And now you want me to cover it up and pretend like none of this happened? It’s — no. No, nikolas. No more.[ Cellphone rings ] It’s the only way, elizabeth. Spencer. Hey. Sorry to bother you. Um… I thought you should know esme is back. She’s in custody.

Well, actually, she’s at G.H.,

Being treated for hypothermia,

but the police

have been notified,

and they’re on their way. Carly: You know what I remember about that night? Hm? I remember that it was the first time in months that I wasn’t hurting.

[ Buoy bell ringing, waves crashing ] That I wasn’t choking on anger or disappointment or everything that had happened with sonny. And I remember how good it was to see your smile and to hear your laugh. And I was so shocked that I was laughing, too, because…

[Sighs] …I never thought I was gonna be happy again. You know? Sonny broke my heart last year, and he broke what was left of our marriage, and he almost broke me. But I was able to come back to myself. And you were a large part of that. So, it all started last new year’s eve on that bridge. And I could never imaginethat we would be here right now. Hm. But I get to do now what I couldn’t do then. And what’s that? This. The police should know to be on the lookout for a woman with a gunshot wound in her arm. I don’t even know if I hit her, but if I did, she’s not gonna go to the hospital for treatment.

[ Sighs ] No, I guess not. Look… there is nothing we can tell the cops that will help them catch the hook. But they will confiscate the gun for which I have no license. And it can’t be traced as far as I know, which is also suspicious. What is that? The shell casing. I’m pretty sure from the trajectory that the bullet either went into the hook or into the water. So, either way, there’s no evidence a gun was ever fired. Nothing that can be tracked back to sonny. Right. You got to protect the boss at all costs. Because I don’t need problems with sonny, especially if it gets between you and me.

Happy birthday to you

happy birthday to you

happy birthday, dearest daughter

happy birthday to me

[ Noisemaker blows ]

Schatzi! You came back!

[ Both laugh ]


[ Buoy bell ringing, waves crashing ] I brought champagne. I can think of a lot of things I want right now. And champagne is one of them, just not at the top of the list. I’d like to see that list. I would really love to show you, but, you know, if we were somewhere…

[ Cork pops ] …More private and, um, heated…

[ Breathes sharply ] Let’s make that a new year’s resolution. Really? You know, new year’s resolutions are meant to be broken, but you’re really good at keeping promises, and I’m learning, so, okay.

[ Chuckles ] Let’s promise each other to meet somewhere private and warm… mm. Mm-hmm. …And really, really soon. That’s a promise. In the meantime…

[ Breathes sharply ] …To celebrating new year’S… mm. …You and me together — last year, this year, and many, many more to come.

[ Glasses clink ] Sam! Hey! Hey. How — mind if I join you? I’m waiting for my rideshare, but they can’t pick me up for another half an hour. Oh, congratulations. Mine is 45 minutes out. So I think you’ve got me beat by like 15 minutes. Oh, well, cancel. You can share mine. Let me guess — you and dante were celebrating, and he got called into work. Mm. The price of loving a dedicated cop. The baby’s not mine. I’m sure.

[ Sighs ] Okay. I wonder who the father could be. Hey, trina, spencer, you guys found esme prince, yeah?

[ Elevator bell dings ] Do you want to tell me what happened? Well, she found us. We were on the deck of the haunted star. Britt’s party had ended, and we were still hanging out and talking. And then we heard someone approaching. And then we looked up, and esme was standing there, soaking wet. Did she said anything? I mean, she just looked at us and passed out. How did you guys know to come down here? I called. Um… esme had attacked elizabeth a few weeks ago, and I thought that she should know that she didn’t have to worry anymore. What about you, nikolas? Elizabeth and I were together when she got the call. And I wanted to be here for my son.

[ Door opens, closes ] Hey, doctor,I’m detective falconeri. Can you tell me about esme prince’s condition? Miss prince is being treated for hypothermia. Otherwise, there are no signs of injury. She’s resting comfortably and should wake up any time. Okay, she’s a person of interest in an investigation. Can I see her, please? Certainly. Want to get something to drink? Yeah, maybe you should go with trina. I’ll text you if there’s any changes. I’d like to believe that you’re here out of concern for me, but I know that you always have an ulterior motive. So what is it? This is everything she had with her.

[ Monitor beeping ] She had this with her? Must have. We took everything off her and bagged it. It’s standard protocol. Thanks.

[ Beeping continues ]

[ Dramatic music plays ]

[ Door closes ] Miss prince.

[ Beeping continues ] Miss prince. Hi. I’m detective falconeri. We’ve met before. Can you tell me what happened to you?

[ Breathes shakily ] Sonny said I could guard you, but… other than that, I can’t go near you. And you’ll do everything sonny says. I’ll carry a gun for sonny. I’ll follow his orders when it comes to business. But…what’s happening between you and me is…personal. Well, that’s not the way you’ve been acting. I was trying to cover for you. Isn’t that what you wanted?

[ Sighs ] I thought so.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ] But I don’t know anymore. I mean, I could ha ve diedtonight if it wasn’t for britt. And you. And it’s just like you’re always there. When I got to the docks and you were on the ground, I…

[ Breathes deeply ] …Almost lost it. I thought you were wounded. I prayed you weren’t dying. I’m right here. I was afraid I’d never get to do this again. Do you…? Yes. We went down we went down with our heads down with our heads down we went down we went down to the ground oh, we tried, oh ooh-ooh-ooh eyes open, but I can’t see I’m walking toward you you pull me in your arms and fears go down

[ Breath ing heavily ]

[ Suspenseful music plays ] Aah! Damn.

[ Groans ]

[ Breathing heavily ] By the time my ride came…

[Sniffles] …I realized my reasons for leaving were less important than my reasons for staying.

[ Sniffles ] Especially… since my mutter is here.

[ Breathes deeply ] I am, and I always will be. No matter what. I will drink to that. Should we have a toast?

[ Chuckles ] To…my birthday. To the new year.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Breathes deeply ] And to us — mother and daughter.

Prost.

[ Chuckles ] Take off your coat and stay awhile, hm?

[ Grunts softly, sniffles ]

[ Coughs, clears throat ]

[ Cough hoarsely, sniffles ] Britta… your dress is torn. Are you bleeding?!

[ Dramatic music plays ] Oh…

[ Sighs weakly ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

, good looking. Stephanie,

what are you doing here? I’m sure you remember how Chad interrupted us on Christmas, so I’m here for my rain check.

This time I came from here.

Wow. No wreath of condoms.

You came very prepared. Are you kidding me? Winter Green.

Don’t you have any other flavors?

Hey, I was just, uh, slept your voicemail. I’m, I’m gonna take a personal day. Taking the kids ice skating. Oh, well, I’m not here about work. I come bearing gifts for Thomas and. and they were so sweet to get me that cd. I wanted to bring them a little something in return. Mm-hmm. , that’s, that’s very nice. Come in.

Are they upstairs or, uh, yeah. Um, I’m gonna get them in a second. I, I’ve actually been wanting to ask you a question. Hmm. Shoot. Did I ruin your Christmas? Yeah. Christmas Didn’t, um, exactly turn out the way that I planned. Yeah, I, I know I said I’d be back in LA right after the holidays, but I, I’m dealing with some stuff.

Yep. Uh, , listen, I’m aware there’s work to do. I’ll, I’ll be on a plane as soon as I can. Okay. Talk soon.

This is nice. Will Sonny be joining us? No. No, he just went out.

Ooh. Someone’s in a good mood. I am, I am. I was just looking at real estate listings and I think I found a lovely, reasonably priced department that might work for Sarah Sander.

Well, what’s wrong? Uh, Maggie. There’s something you need to know about Xander and the company that he supposedly worked for. Supposedly, yeah. The, uh, pharmaceutical startup, uh, rednecks is a fake, it’s actually Xander. Spell backwards. What? There was no company, no job opening for a vice president in charge of sales.

Zander made the whole thing up. He lied to Sarah by getting a job there. That’s not all he lied about.

Zander z

Zand, it’s me. Are you in there?

Oh my God. Sandra, you all right? Oh yeah. I’m great. Oh, top of the world. Look at me. I’ve been phoning you. You didn’t answer your phone on your phoning and phoning. I thought you were hurt or, or even worse. Oh, worse. Definitely worse. Yeah. I can’t stop, think. What a worthless human being. I am a wretched loser, lying, dirtbag.

Sick. Right? Get up more. Four. What’s the point? The point is, you are not gonna self-flagellate any longer. You’re gonna get up and you’re gonna dust yourself off. Come on. I can’t Ah, can’t I start all over again? Gwe. Oh, how bloody, yes. Course you can. Come on you. And you will. Up you go. That’s it. Now that is an order Zander cook, and you know better than to find me

like Sands through the hourglass. So on the days of our lives,

I will never forgive Xander for this. Well, hang on. So Red Max doesn’t exist. Gwen created a website employment contract. The. Gwen, she claims she was doing Xander, a solid, helping him keep Sarah from finding out he wasn’t working. I am so confused. I felt that Xander had the job and then he decided to quit because his boss wanted him to do something unethical.

Xander made that up too. And when I offered to sue redneck for wrongful termination, Gwen gave me a fake c e o name, fake email address. Well, and when I saw rednecks written on the file cover, I put two and two. Okay, so then it looks like I’m the last one to know about this, uh, elaborate employment. Bruce

Sarah Sweetheart. There, there seems to be a reasonable explanation. Reasonable. Well, look, it sounds to me like Xander went to extremes to convince you that he had a job because he, he was feeling. , you know? Awful. And because he wasn’t able to provide for you or to, to pull his own weight, huh? This is about so much more than a stupid fake job.

They had a job, he just couldn’t tell us what it was because his boss was Ava Vitali. What? That can’t be. I wish to God it wasn’t. You were right the first time. The kidnapper was Xander.

Look,

Claire, eat this. No, come on, eat it now. Please.

There you are. Feel better. No, but that’s because you are mired and self hatred. You’re constantly bloody beating up on yourself. And what? What’s that gonna. What does anything do when the, the one that you love no longer wants anything to do with you Quinn? Hmm. That’s funny cause I’ve asked myself that question many a time and here’s what I’ve said to answer it.

Would you like to hear it? We are given this gift of life. Oh. For such a short time, and no matter how. Or disappointed or devastated you might be by all the horrible, rotten things that happen to us in life. You always have to remember to keep your sunny sights up and look forward to a better future. You should drive yourself, help burn.

Yeah. You know, I may just do that actually, and I might call it how to help a good friend out of a miserable funk, even when said friend is determined to stay in a miserable funk. How can I not stay in a miserable funk? Of course, there are dozens of times, but a message after message begging you to call me back so I can explain.

There’s no response, none. It’s like I can no longer exist. We don’t exist over. No, no, not necessarily. You were there when Sarah said she never wanted to see me. I would. I would listen less to what she says and more to what she’s done. And there you’ll find your silver line here.

Did you ruin my Christmas with Alex? You guys had the whole place to yourself and then I stuck around until like two in the morning playing video games. Did I ruin your plans with him?

Where they’re, hi. Oh, it’s so good to see you both. Daddy didn’t tell us you were coming. Oh, well he didn’t know. I wanted to tell you guys how much I loved my cd and maybe you can open these when you get home from ice skating with your dad. Can you come with us? Don’t these so much time. Oh, please, please, please stand.

Wow. It looks like I’m more popular around here than I thought.

What the hell are you doing in my room? Waking you from a very hot dream, apparently. Yeah. Thank you for ruining it. I’m doing my toothpaste. I need Don’t be so stingy. I just want one little squirt. Oh my God. Get it back and get out. Can you at least tell me where I could find a. Less gastly flavor than winter green.

Why don’t you ask the guy who asked you to move in here, God knows why. Well, son’s out and I couldn’t find any in his bathroom. Can do. Try Victor, right? He’d kill me. Like I said, try Victor. Oh, come on Alex. I can’t start the day without fresh breath. Where did my brother go to try to smooth things over with his crybaby husband about me living here?

I think they’re gonna kiss and make up. Definitely as long as he agrees to kick you out on your ass.

How can we, can we ca that depends. Where’s Leo? He’s at my uncle’s house where I left him. You mean where he is staying Still will nope. Nothing else to say. Will please.

Silver lining it. You’re joking, aren’t you? Hear me out. Where? Come on. Proceed. I want to hear all about what’s so great about my wife ignoring them all ears. Mm-hmm. . I’m waiting. Right. Lander, did you spend the night in jail? Did an army of police turn up and arrest you for. Oh, not yet. I said then come on man.

If it hasn’t happened, it’s not gonna, it means that Sarah hasn’t told the cops or anyone else. You don’t think she went straight to Bonnie and Justin? No, I don’t. Cause he would’ve been arrested and I haven’t heard anything from Jack. So, see. Let’s hope yet because that means Sarah obviously decided to keep what you did to herself.

So Xander admitted he was working for Ava Batali. Somehow she knew that he was having financial problems and she used that to get him to put on the clown mask, kidnap Susan, and collect some of the ransom as a paid, my God. And does it surprise? Who he turned to when he needed help covering his tracks.

Cause that’s right folks. None other than the Master of Deception herself. Miss Gwen, risk check. So are you saying that Zander was cheating on you? Honestly, I don’t know. I don’t know, mom, I, I don’t put anything past him at this point. I mean, it’s not like he has a good moral compass, but with him being a kidnapper, but, but that, that doesn’t make any sense.

Seriously. It doesn’t, I mean, he. Was snatched up by that muscle bound clown, same as me, cuz it’s, it’s kind of impossible that kidnapper had to be somebody else.

And then after that, Wilhelmina just stormed out such a drama queen. Well, you don’t have to worry about that Leo, because your throne is safe and despite your little twist and your little, uh, spin on things, I’m with Will on this one. The guy who ditched his family to fly off to la la land. Uh, yeah, because he had to do what he needed to do for his job.

I know this might be a concept that’s foreign to you, Leo, but some people have to travel for work. Uh, travel is one thing he told Sonny he wasn’t coming home for the holidays. Yeah. Except he did come home for the holidays to surprise Sonny on Christmas only to find him with you. Here, the person who has caused a whole lot of people, including Will and Sonny, a whole lot of misery.

That is, in my opinion, your subjective perspective. That’s a subjective perspective, really. Uhhuh. really see, in my opinion, That’s an objective fact because your whole MO is to target vulnerable men and bleed them dry. You say that like, I have designs on Sunny. We’re just friends. Okay. Well, in my experience, when somebody in one party says that we’re just friends, that’s not the truth.

The truth is one of those people is pining for the other, and then the other person who thinks he’s about to have sex with one of those friends is left out in the. Okay, well now I have lost track of which person is the other person and who’s pining for whom. But somehow I don’t think we’re talking about me and Sonny anymore.

Okay. Okay. Okay. I will go, but no one can laugh if I fall on my. Kay. We would never. All right, go get your hats in your gloves. Come on. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Okay. Get your coach too.

Are you sure about this? Dude? You need me? Those kids totally own you all. Just call the ring . Okay.

Will come on, will open up when I slam the door in your face. That meant go away. All right, well, are we alone because we’re talking.

Allie and Chanel are out, but no son. We are not alone because Leo Stark is smack in the middle of our lives. Okay. And you think shutting me out literally is the best way to get through it. We shouldn’t have to get through anything. You kick Leo out. That’s problem solved. You have every right to be upset.

Yes, I, yes, I know. I’ve, I I am upset and I should be upset because you do this one simple thing and it’s over, but for some incomprehensible reason, you, you just, you haven’t done it yet. He has nowhere else to go, will, son, you’re doing it again. You’re feeling sorry for a, for a predator. Leo Stark is a gold digging Grif.

All he does is bring pain and misery. Why is it so hard for you to believe that someone can change? I’m not, I’m not having this conversation with you. I’m not. You’re not. What? What? Look, somewhat someone, yes, someone can change, but a gold digging grifter, like I said, a conman with a heart of stone. I don’t think so.

Okay. I’m not. That Leo is a completely different person, and I, I’m definitely not excusing his past behavior, but like I said, I’ve been spending a lot of time with him and I, it’s become very clear to me that beneath all the flamboyance and theatrics is a, a real human being with feelings and, and dreams.

Feelings and dreams. Really? Yes. I’ve seen it, and maybe if you were here, you’d, you’d believe it too. Oh, you mean if I hadn’t abandoned you to go to la? Of course, we’re still talking about Sonny. You’re trying to cause problems between him and will. Meanwhile, all you give a damn about is your toothpaste. I prefer cinnamon.

Fine. I’ll borrow Maggie. Or buy your own or better yet, move out and then buy your own. You, you are clearly not a morning person. I, I just don’t enjoy waking up with a thief in my room, Leo, or in my bed. Scram. You gotta go. I, I, I have to get dressed. Need a hand picking out a shirt? Oh my goodness. Alexander, get your mind out of the gutter.

But if you did need a hand, let’s go out, out.

Whoever was in that clown Baskett couldn’t have been Xander. I mean, it’s impossible. When I came to, in the Warehouse, he was tied up right next to me and the, and then the bozo came in and the two of ’em got in a big brawl, and yet somehow the clown managed to get out without being unmasked. Bonnie, it was a setup.

The, the whole thing was just an act to make Xander look like a hero. My God, is it possible well pull it off? He would’ve needed someone to. Yeah. Yeah. And I know who it was. Morning loves what’d I miss?

Sarah hasn’t said anything yet. Yeah. And I don’t think she ever will. That makes one of us. She just needs time to, to calm down. Yeah. And, and realize that you never meant to hurt. I did hurt her badly. Yes, but that wasn’t your intention, was it?

I mean, come on. You’re in this whole bloody mess, Sandra, because you love her so damn much. So maybe have some faith in her love for you too, and some hope that she will come to understand that you were doing all of this just to, to prove. That you’re a good husband. There’s no way Sarah’s gonna gimme the benefit of the doubt about this.

It’s more likely that she’ll find an evil clan to take me out. Pessimist, Gwen, I really do appreciate you Trina. You know, cheer me up and I feel awful for dragging you into all this. I know how hard you’ve worked. Get back into Jack’s good graces. If he finds out that you’ve been helping me, boy, you let me deal with my dad messed up my life beyond all repair.

I’m not gonna do the same to you. I’ll tell Jack that you’ve Yeah. That I, I forced you to help me. Then I’ll, I’ll protect you, I promise. No, you’ve already got so much to deal with. As is Quinn. You keep telling me that I. I’m trying to pay you. My dad. Let me,

are you taking shots at me for going to la? Oh, oh my God. That’s not, that’s not what I meant. I swear, if you wanna have a conversation about how we can live apart, I would be more than happy to, but I think we should probably deal with this. Okay. You wanna be roomies with Leo? I think that’s patently insane.

I asked you to kick him out. You refused. What, what else is there to discuss? I, if you disagreed with me about something that I felt strongly about, I would hear your opinion. So can you, can you just please do the same for me please? Fine. Okay. , thank you.

Look, when, when Craig left, Leo kind of lost him, all right? And he hurt a lot of people, but he knows that he made a mistake. Do you honestly believe that? I do. Yeah, I do. What do you When he talks about it, I, I can see the sadness in his eyes. I can hear the regret in his voice. He knows he screwed up. And he, he spent a lot of time reflecting, thinking about how to change his life, how to turn it around, and the first step was to find a job.

So I offered him one. No, he asked you for one when you were in the hospital and you said he was a conniving creep and he needed to talk to Alex and he didn’t. He did months later, after we started becoming friends. So when Alex shut him, I told him that when I went back to being C E O, I would need an assistant.

No, you were gonna hire him again, Sonny. No, he almost destroyed tight. Let me finish. He shut me down. You know why? Because he knew Uncle Vic would freak out and fire me. That’s proof right there. That is proof that he has changed. He put my wellbeing in front of his own needs, or he’s parlaying your offer into something better.

Why are you being so negative? Why are you being so naive? Just because Leo does. Potentially not completely selfish thing. I’m, I’m, you, you want me to change my mind on him? No. I am trying to get you to understand the choices that I’ve made and if you understand those choices and you still want Leo gone.

He’s gone.

People. The mood in here is downright marose. It’s like someone died or something. Wait, did someone die? I’m just glad I didn’t. Doesn’t that clown. Sarah thinks that Zander was the kidnapper and that he hired a fig kidnapper so that I wouldn’t suspect that he was a real kidnapper. I think. Well, that seems farfetched.

Leo, please. Um, Sarah was about to tell us who she thinks Xander’s accomplice was, and she seems pretty sure about it. I am. There’s only one person that makes sense.

You want to repay me right now if.

I think that we are getting a bit ahead of ourselves here. Now, see, I am still very optimistic that things fuck out for you. Now you’re a bit optimistic. I am going to, uh, drown my saw eyes. Right.

I’m going to be very brutally honest with you right now.

Cook. You are as delectable specimen of the male species that I have ever laid eyes on, but you are never more unattractive than when you wallow in self petty.

Short break. I promise I’ll be right back.

Oh, there she is, Alex. Hi. Hi. What are you doing here? Your assistant said I might find you here. Oh, why’d you need to find me? We had a strategy meeting planned for today. What did you forget about me? No, I actually left a message with your assistant about rescheduling. Did you? Mm-hmm. . Oh. Must have ah, must have got my wires crossed.

Oh, sorry about that. It’s okay. Anyway, what are you doing here? What are you here with?

I thought you felt strongly about this. I do. But you’re willing to change your mind.

Uh, Leo and I will still be friends. Okay. We work through a lot and that that means something to me, but I will find him another place to live as soon as possible, even though you think it’s perfectly fine for him to stay. Keri, obviously it’s not perfectly fun if it upsets you.

You’re my husband. Well, you always come first.

I no one. I feel like I’m forcing you to do something you don’t want to do. You’re not forcing me to do anything. All I want to do is to make you happy. That’s the most important thing to me. I love you will. I love you when things are great. And I still love you when we’re fighting and I still can’t believe you flew all the way out here and I still haven’t gotten a single kiss yet.

Well, Merry Christmas. Happy New Year.

Love, as they say. Conquer. I can’t take any more of your positivity. Oh God, I’m not gonna stand here and, and let you just give up. I’m a woman of your dreams. What choice do I have? Change. Change your mindset. Zander. Stop feeling so bloody. Sorry for yourself. And start thinking about Sarah. Yeah. Think about,

think about holding her for kissing her, touching her, lost all of that forever. Ah, so you’re a loser then. No. A quitter then, are you? Not at all. Right. Well then imagine yourself with your wife. Yeah. Together. Close. Happy. Now. Alright. I’m imagining, I’m imagining good. No, just hold that there. Just keep that mental image there at the forefront of your mind and let it motivate you.

Put this fire underneath you and hold onto it every minute of every day until Sarah’s back in your arms.

Oh my gosh. That’s exactly what I need to do. Your riot.

thank you so much. You are the only one that could have brought me back from the head. Yeah. Well I am your mate, so the least. Do

you think Gwen was Xander’s accomplice? Well, I heard him going over everything with her, so, well. He may have told her about the kidnapping, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that she was in on it. However, she was in, on his lie about the. But the clown who kidnapped Zandra in me was a man, a big man, and didn’t look at all like Gwen actually.

Grave called me earlier and he said that uh, they found some evidence to indicate that the clown was actually wearing a bodysuit, one of those bodysuits you wear to bulk up your appearance, which means that it’s possible that it was Gwen or a man with a smaller frame. Isn’t that right, Leo? Who are you looking at me for?

You’re Gwen’s friend. Did she mention any of this to you? And just don’t even think about lying. I swear on a stack of Bibles. I know absolutely nothing about Gwen dressing up as a clown. If I were you, I try W Ringling Brothers.

Hi guys, this is Alex. Why don’t you say, Hi, Alex. Nice to meet you. Hey, nice to meet you. Firm Shake. Good shake. So I, uh, I heard that, that this one missed a meeting. I’m sorry. That’s on us. We, uh, we dragged her into this. Aw, daddy, you wanna skate more? Okay. Yeah. Uh, just give us a minute. You know what, I got this.

You too. Catch up. Okay, come on. Let’s go.

Oh, I’m sorry, man. The kids wanted her to come. Oh, no. It’s all good, man. It’s all good. You guys having a good time? Yeah, yeah, we are. Good, good, good. I’m glad. Chad, I just want to, uh, make sure we’re clear on where we stand now. You do know Stephanie and I are together.

Yes, of course. I know that you and Stephanie are. I’m sorry man. I didn’t mean for that to come out as harsh as it may have. Uh,

I know how rough Christmas was for you. I know you’re missing Abigail and I get it, man. I really do. And to be honest, I had a really good time hanging out with you, but not to get too tmi right before you showed up. It’s just Steph and I having a good time. I ended up having a run at the drugstore to go get.

You know? Right, right. Yeah, exactly. So here I am thinking that it’s just gonna be the two of us and . Yeah. I’m becoming the third wheel. I, I would’ve maybe found kinder words to say, but sort of Look, I honestly been, that wasn’t my intention with the holidays. I was just feeling lonely. Stephanie’s a friend and she’s easy to be with.

Yeah, she is, but the holidays are over. We made it just another workday in which Stephanie and I had a meeting planned and instead she’s here with you all having Having what? Family time.

I’ve been away for a lot longer than either of us thought I would be, and I’m sorry for that son, even though it was unavoidable and you supported my decision to go. But I, I still feel like I kind of stranded you here, and I, I know that’s been hard it. It’s been hard for me too. What’s made it sort of bearable is that I’m surrounded by people all the time, you know, colleagues, fellow filmmakers, and you know, some friends I I’ve made who aren’t substitutes for you.

obviously. But I, I, I guess what, what I, what I’m trying to say is I’m okay with you having, you know, a new friend too. I just really wish it was somebody else. Okay. Well it isn’t, and I don’t think we want a relationship where we can veto each other’s friendships. No, we don’t. Okay, so I’m still gonna be friends with Leo.

And you don’t like that? Where does that leave us?

Fatty? What’s on earth? Did you just run here? Uber flat. Need to talk urgent. Is this about your mission to get into Sunny’s Trouss? Don’t you bother denying it? I know you all too. Well man. Bye. So, okay, yes. Sorry darling, but your sexual fantasies are gonna have to wait cause I’ve just got too much in my mind.

So yes, please. Another time. Another time. Another my foot,

my darling girl. I’m so. About all of this. You don’t have to be sorry, mom. This is all on me. I, I knew that there was something wrong with Xander and I just pushed it off. Can I do that? You love him?

Yeah, but I let, I let that blind me to who he is, who he’s always going to be.

Hi, it’s Sarah. Leave a message. It’s. Again, I, I know I have so much to make up for Sarah. So many bad mistakes and and bad choices by swear. I did it all for love cause I love you so much with all my heart. I swear I do. Please just call me back.

I guess where that leaves us is, uh, pretty awkward place. Yeah,

I’m, I’m, I’m not gonna lie to you, it, it is hard for me to accept that you’re friends with someone who has done so much damage. Um, but you and Leo have admitted some fences and it’s clear that you have a certain loyalty to him. And when I think about it, the only thing I can. I just respect that

shall woo agree to disagree until you realize I’m right or vice versa. I hate hate you. I know, but I love making up.

Family time, that’s not an accusation. I understand the whole ice skating thing is innocent, but I also know you had feelings for Stephanie, so I’m gonna ask you man to man,

if there’s something brewing here you think I should know about Chad, it’s better to get it out there now.

Alex? No, listen to me. There’s absolutely nothing romantic going on between me and Stephanie. All right. She’s my friend and my boss. That’s it. All right. Hey, we, uh, we ran into a couple of the kids’ friends just now and their mom who said she’d watch them when I came to get you. Um, but they said that they want daddy to skate too.

Hmm. Okay. Thank you. Mm-hmm. , thank you. Yeah.

All right. If you’re not too tired, what do you say? I go run a pair of skates. I’m gonna go hit a couple laps around this rink. Who the hell do you think you are?

All right. Get you some ice. No need to talk bad news. Yeah. Well, what happened? Your news is it can’t be worse than mine. Sarah overheat, me and Zander talking about the kidnapping and get this. She’s decided to keep what she knows to herself. I mean, it’s a bloody miracle. Why are you flapping? Listen, important.

Okay, go on then talk. Sarah is not keeping her mouth shut. She’s telling everybody what Xander did.

I. I, I spoke to Gwen. If, look, if this is about my phony job at redneck. Oh, rednecks. Oh, rednecks you,

Sarah, please don’t blame yourself. This is all on Zander. Talk to me. Sweet. Tell me what you’re thinking. What will you do next?

The only thing I can do, what is that?

I have to divorce him.

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

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

my divorce papers.

[ Dramatic music ]

Steffy: Sheila is pure evil! Bill, you’re devoting yourself to her. You’re blackmailing me. You’re threatening my mother’s happiness and freedom. Sheila terrorized my mother.

Brooke: Look, I just need you to understand and respect that you and I are not going to be together, even though when we were, it was very magical. It’s just not going to happen again.

Katie: Would I like to reconcile with you and be a family again and spend my life with you? Yes, that’s what I’ve always wanted. I know you love me.

Bill: Of course, I do.

Katie: But you also love my sister. And that’s something that I can’t live with. Goodbye, bill.

Sheila: I love you so much, bill. I’m yours for life.

Steffy: Bill has lost his mind. How can he be aligning himself with sheila?

Finn: To wrap my head around that…

Steffy: Thankou.

Finn: Here. I know you didn’t sleep.

Steffy: Yeah. I’m too worried about what this could mean for my mom.

Finn: I know, and then we find out on the news last night that sheila was arrested?

Steffy: Sheila’s behind bars where she belongs, but who called the police.

Finn: Well, obviously not us.

Steffy: Thanks to bill with his quid pro quo. We keep sheila out of jail or bill will expose my mother for shooting him.

Finn: Whoa.

Steffy: What?

Finn: Bill was the one who turned sheila in.

Steffy: Bill?

Finn: Yeah. That’s what it says.

Steffy: Hopefully that means that he’s finally come to his senses.

Carter: Are they sure it’s sheila?

Katie: They’re saying it’s her. That sheila carter is in custody. Minus one toe.

Carter: I don’t want to be a skeptic, but I’d hate for all of us to be fooled.

Katie: I don’t think it’s a rumor. I’m looking at like, four different websites and… and the police just confirmed. Sheila carter is in custody.

Carter: So, bill called 9-1-1 and had sheila apprehended. Why was she even over there in the first place?

[ Door unlatching ]

Liam: Dad! We were worried about you.

Bill: I told you guys on the phone last night.

Wyatt: You said like two words!

Bill: I was– I was tired. But um… I’m good. Nothing to worry about.

Liam: Nothing to worry– oh, he says there’s nothing to worry about.

Wyatt: You had a homicidal maniac literally in your house.

Bill: She’s gone now.

Liam: Yeah, that’s great, but why was she here in the first place?

Wyatt: Dad, why was sheila here? What’s going on?

Steffy: I am so confused. Bill was over here with sheila acting like some lovesick teenager, and then he hands her over to the police?

Finn: Yeah, it a pretty big 180.

Steffy: Seriously. He stops us from calling the cops and then he goes ahead and does it himself?

Finn: You think sheila could’ve threatened him? I mean, maybe they got into it on the drive back home.

Sheila: Anything’s possible.

Finn: Maybe sheila put him up to the whole thing.

Steffy: I’m hoping that’s the case, but bill’s not one to be easily manipulated, so.

Finn: So then, I guess he just woke up.

Steffy: I need to find out and see if bill is dropping this whole horrible blackmail scheme. Sometimes you’re so busy taking care of everyone else

Katie: Well, one thing’s for sure. I did not have sheila gets arrested at bill’s house on my bingo card.

Carter: Tell me about it. And what was she doing there? Did she break in? Could bill have gotten hurt?

Katie: I don’t know. I thank god he didn’T. I mean, thank god will wasn’t there. I mean, the woman is unhinged. She could’ve shown up at any of our houses. Thank god we ramped up security.

Carter: Even then, you never know.

Katie: No, you’re right. Bill has 24 hour security and– and the place is like a fortress. Clearly, it didn’t help him.

Carter: Thankfully, she’s exactly where she belongs.

Katie: Yes. We will all rest easier knowing she is curled up in a cold, hard cell.

Carter: Mm. I think we might have to do some celebrating later.

Katie: Oh, yeah. I think we’ll be celebrating tonight.

Carter: Okay, I just can’t get this out of my head. I’m curious how it all happened. Aren’t you?

Katie: I’m gonna have to talk to bill, get all the details. One thing’s for sure, he’s gonna get a big thank you from all of us. He’s a hero for catching sheila.

Liam: Dad, what was sheila carter even doing here?

Bill: Now, let’s go over this one more time just to make sure we are absolutely clear. I’m gonna tell them that you showed up here, desperately pleading your case, I shut you down and called the cops. That’s our story. Now, you’re going to be in jail for a bit, that’s a necessary step. I will then do everything in my power to get you out. And you will be a free woman again and we could be together.

Sheila: You don’t know how much I’m counting on that.

Bill: This is bill spencer. Sheila carter is in my home. Hurry! She’s gotta be apprehended. Hurry!

Wyatt: Dad, where’d you go just now? Come on. We want to know why sheila was here.

Bill: She uh, she just showed up, you know? Pleading her case. So, I held onto her and I called 9-1-1.

Wyatt: That’s insane because you’re literally like the last person who would ever feel sympathy for her.

Liam: Exactly. Why– why would she put her freedom at risk by coming here? What the hell was she thinking?

Bill: Can’t answer that.

Wyatt: Clearly, she was desperate.

Liam: So desperate.

Wyatt: Right?

Liam: We literally thought that she kidnapped you.

Wyatt: Yeah, and as soon as we found the earring and the wig and everything, we knew she was here.

Bill: Yeah, you mentioned that last night.

Wyatt: Yeah, which is why we had to call chief baker immediately and tell him everything we found.

Liam: Yeah, and oh, by the way, by the way, where were you when we showed up last night? ‘Cause we looked everywhere. We searched the entire house.

Wyatt: Yeah, and your car was gone. Where were you, dad?

Finn: How could bill have even considered siding with sheila?

Steffy: Some kind of psychotic break.

Finn: Well, it sure looked like something was going on between those two.

Steffy: Ugh. Just the thought of sheila and bill together grosses me out. Like, what is he thinking? He knows about all the despicable things she’s done.

Finn: She shot you.

Steffy: She shot you. Her own son!

Finn: Well luckily, my real mom was able to nurse me back to health.

Steffy: Sheila tried to kill li. She ran her off the road, into the ocean. Like, my god, finn. I don’t–

Finn: Look, we’re finally getting some justice, right?

Steffy: Look, it is comforting that sheila is behind bars, but something– something feels off. First, bill says that we need to show sheila mercy, and that we have to be quiet about them or my mom goes to prison, and then look what he does. Like, it doesn’t make sense.

Finn: Yeah. Well, maybe bill just realized how delusional he was being.

Steffy: Or it’s some part of his grand plan.

Finn: You really think so?

Steffy: I don’t know. But please, do not say anything about bill and his blackmail. It’s just– it’s too risky.

Finn: Come here. It’s gonna be okay.

Steffy: I hope– I don’t–

Finn: It’s gonna be okay. I’m not gonna let anything bad happen to our family.

Steffy: Oh, god. And now please welcome ana montoya.

Katie: Well, brooke is ecstatic. She heard the news. Can’t believe it.

Carter: I never thought I’d say this about bill spencer, but I agree with you. He’s a hero. He saved the day. He could’ve saved someone’s life possibly.

Katie: I mean, who knows what sheila would’ve done next.

Carter: Scared to think who her next target might’ve been.

Katie: It’s game over now. I’m sure chief baker was more than happy to throw the book at her. And now, she’ll never see the light of day again. Thanks to bill.

Carter: And bill’s the one to make sheila finally pay for her crimes. Who would’ve thought?

Katie: Oh, I’m sure we’re gonna hear about this for years and years. He’ll tell this story over and over again about how he single handedly took down sheila carter.

Carter: Hey, bill’s the reason we don’t have to worry about her anymore. I say let the man boast. He’s earned it.

Katie: I mean, face to face with a violent felon, I don’t know what I would’ve done if she had showed up at my place. I would’ve freaked out. I mean, especially living all by myself.

Carter: That’s when you come to my place.

Katie: Well, you did vow to keep me and my family safe.

Carter: And I meant it. I know you don’t need protecting.

Katie: No, I appreciate it. I always feel safe with you.

Wyatt: Dad, where were you last night?

Bill: Out.

Liam: Oh, my god. What if sheila was here while we were over? Like hiding?

Wyatt: Oh, wow.

Bill: All– all right, look. Bottom line, I took care of sheila.

Wyatt: Well, thank god you got that lunatic out of here.

Bill: I don’t know that I would call her a lunatic.

Wyatt: Okay, how about crazy? How about murderous psycho? I don’t know.

Bill: What– whatever. She’s, uh, she’s in custody.

Liam: Because of you.

Bill: E– enough already.

Liam: No, no, no, no. Let’s not minimize that. I mean, what you did took bravery, right? It’s sheila.

Wyatt: Society owes you a huge favor. Think of all the lives that she almost ruined.

Liam: Finn, steffy, taylor, brooke. I mean, all of them owe you now.

Bill: All right, boys– boys. Really. Um, you know I’m– I’m just really tired. I– I didn’t sleep much last night.

Liam: Well, yeah. I mean, I– I– I– I could barely imagine what you must have gone through with sheila.

Wyatt: Yeah, seriously, dad. She could’ve snapped. She could’ve done something to really hurt you. We we’re concerned.

Bill: Sheila carter will never hurt me. But I, um, I really appreciate your concern. I’m fine. Everything’s going to be fine.

Finn: Look, bill and sheila, it’s totally illogical.

Steffy: I get that bill feels rejected, but this is next level. To side with sheila is a death wish. She’s gonna go down and she’s gonna bring him with her.

Finn: Then nothing good could come from it. That’s for sure.

Steffy: I should go talk to him.

Finn: All right. I’ll come with you.

Steffy: No. I think it’s best if I go alone.

Finn: Steffy, bill has been acting so strangely. That makes me nervous.

Steffy: I– I get that and I love you for being so supportive and caring, but I can handle this. I can. I’m gonna stay calm, play it smart and set aside that he’s blackmailing my mother.

Finn: It’s risky.

Steffy: I know. I won’t do anything rile him up.

Finn: Look, it’s just… I don’t trust the guy. Okay? But, I believe in you. So, just promise me that you’ll be careful and call me immediately if you need backup, okay?

Steffy: I promise. I love you. Find your beat

[ Phone pinging ]

Sheila: Remember the power this represents to you. You take no prisoners. You win at all costs.

Steffy: Bill.

Bill: Steffy?

Steffy: I need to talk to you about last night.

Bill: Not a good time.

Steffy: What happened last night shocked me. When you showed up, when sheila was there, saying the things that you did, threatening my mother to protect sheila.

Bill: I covered for taylor for years, steffy.

Steffy: And we’re grateful for that, but why the sudden shift? What’s driving this? Finn and I heard that you called the police on sheila. Is that true?

Bill: Yes.

Steffy: Does that mean you’ve come to your senses? Sheila is dangerous. She’s evil. Pure evil. She stalked my family for years. She shot brooke, she shot my mom. Bill, she shot me and finn.

Bill: I haven’t forgotten.

Steffy: I’m not sure what kind of relationship formed between the two of you, but yesterday, I was convinced that you were actually developing feelings for her. But now, she’s in jail. There’s no future with her because we will be– we will be pressing full charges. Attempted murder charges. Look, my only hope is that– bill, are you okay? Hey, look at me. I know you. You didn’t mean what you said. Does sheila have something on you? Is she blackmailing you? What other explanation can there be? You can’t have real feelings for a woman like her. She is totally deranged. Look, I know you feel hurt and abandoned by katie and brooke. By all of us. Maybe we should’ve been more sensitive to your feelings. Please tell me this isn’t true. Please tell me you are not turning to sheila. You said something last night regarding going public about my mother shooting you here, in this very room, all those years ago. Bill, please don’t do that. You cannot side with sheila. She is dangerous and psychotic. Please, for your own sake. For all of our sakes. You can’t do it.

On the patio of Crimson Lights, Danny gives Daniel some words of encouragement and mentions that he shouldn’t feel that he needs to push back his emotions. Father and son hug as Danny prepares to head to the airport.

After Daniel leaves and Danny is still at the coffeehouse, Christine comes by to meet with Mariah and Tessa about their impending meeting with Delphine, the woman whose baby they might wind up adopting.  Danny agrees to stick around so he and Christine can talk after she finishes with her meeting with Mariah and Tessa. Danny can’t help but listen in to part of Christine’s conversation with the prospective new parents, telling them to put themselves forward and speak from the heart.

Hearing this, Danny flashes back to both good times and turbulent times during his past with Christine.  When Christine joins him at the Crimson Lights patio, she lets Danny know she is not pleased about Phyllis’s post on social media with theof her with Danny and Daniel.

Christine mentions that she didn’t know that Phyllis and Daniel are still in such close touch over the years. Danny downplays things and says they’re not really very close, just teammates and co-parents. Christine continues, going on about being unable to fortie of for    she literally almost caused Christine her life.

Danny says he is sorry about the pain Phyllis caused her and takes her hand in his. Christine says they were both adversely affected by Phyllis and she’s glad they were able to move on and find happiness, even though they didn’t find it together. Danny comments about her marriage to Paul approaching ten years and the deep connection Christine and Paul have and he’s really happy that things are going well for her.

Christine asks Danny if he has anyone special in his life and he tells her that he is seeing someone on a casual basis for now. He is quick to let Christine know that he always has room in his life for a dear friend.

They agree to stay more in touch and Christine says that she and Paul will come to see one of Danny’s concerts in Chicago. Both she and Dannt feel that they have more to talk about so he takes Christine up on her offer to give him a ride to the airport.

At Newman Media, Nate and Victoria are having a meeting and he notices that Victoria seems off and just not quite herself. Nate offers to get them coffee from the breakroom and listen to whatever Victoria wants to share. She opens up in a general way, saying that there are some very complicated factors going on with Johnny.

Nate mentions that although he’s not a parent himself, he was a child once, and did plenty of things that displeased his parents.  He encourages Victoria to give Johnny some space and in doing so, she might be able to prevent him from pulling away.

Billy comes by Chelsea’s apartment, claiming to be there for an update on Connor’s school project with the egg drop device. However, Chelsea senses that Billy is distracted and unhappy. Eventually, he tells Chelsea that Lily thinks that she and he may be done, and Chelsea becomes alarmed and worried that the rift  in his relationship with Lily is due to Billy spending too much time with her.

As a result, Chelsea strongly suggests to Billy that he meet with Lily and let her know how much she means to him.  Chelsea tells Billy that she got a second chance, now he deserves one. With Chelsea’s encouragement, Billy texts Lily to ask if they can get together.

Meanwhile, Lily is at Society, where she runs into Nick and joins him at a table. Lily is cautious about telling him anything regarding her relationship with Billy, seeing as how Billy had been Nick’s brother-in-law at one point. So, Billy and Nick have small talk, talking about how their holidays were.

Nick then apologizes for Newman Media’s decision to fire Sally and instate Nate as CEO with the company. Lily lets him know that it’s fine because she knows he was not involved with what happened with Nate and Victoria. Nick doesn’t mention anything specific, but Lily says that his silence is giving her answers about the overall situation.  She lets him know that when she gets hurt, she can roll with it. Nick asks if they’re talking about Nate or Billy at that point. He offers to listen to whatever is troubling her but she declines.

After Nick leaves, Lily gets a text notification on her phone. It’s from Billy, saying that he wants to meet up with her. She agrees to get together with him at the Glam Club. When they are there, Billy tells her that he wants to save their relationship. After some tense words between him and Lily, he admits that he messed up.

He tells her that he will do anything that needs to be done to salvage their relationship, saying that he will make an appointment for couples counseling and do anything else Lily requests. She and Billy agree to improve their relationship rather than abandoning it.

At her apartment, Chelsea gets a text from Connor asking if they can have pizza with Johnny that week. Chelsea starts typing a text about it to Billy, but deletes what she had been typing. Instead, she texts Victoria to ask her about it. When Victoria gets Chelsea’s text asking if Johnny could join her and Connor for pizza sometime, Victoria doesn’t want that. So, she starts typing a reply to Chelsea, saying that Johnny has too much homework.  Victoria hesitates, then changes her mind and deletes what she was typing. Instead she lets Chelsea know that she will get back to her about setting up a night that works for all of them.

Update written by Suzanne

In Steffy and Finn’s beachhouse, Steffy can’t believe that Bill is siding with Sheila and is blackmailing her. She keeps railing at him about how awful Sheila is. Bill lets them know that if they don’t drop the charges against Sheila (for her shooting them), then he will press charges against Taylor for shooting him. Nothing Steffy and Finn say gets through to Bill; not even mentioning what she did to Li. He and Sheila hold hands and talk about their feelings for each other and how alike they are. They also mention that they’ve been living together. Bill warns them not to tell anyone about their deal, and then he and Sheila leave Steffy and Finn alone.

Finn and Steffy can’t believe that Bill and Sheila are together or why Sheila would even trust Bill, since he turned her in before. They’re shocked that they’ve been living together. Finn wants to know why Taylor shot Bill, so Steffy is forced to confess that she and Bill slept together one night when she was having a fight with Liam. Taylor thought that Bill took advantage of her, so that’s why she shot him. She makes sure to tell him that Taylor is a different person now. Finn gets very angry at Bill, but Steffy assures him that their night together was consensual. Finn still thinks that Bill manipulated her. She just wants to focus on their future. He thanks her for telling him the truth. He wants to phone the police, but Steffy can’t do that to her mom.

Meanwhile, Wyatt and Liam are at Bill’s house, freaking out that Bill seems to be missing and that Sheila’s wig and earring are there. They’re worried that Sheila kidnapped or murdered Bill. After checking around some more, they discover that Bill’s car is missing and that all of the video surveillance, including backup, is gone (supposedly from the storm). They find this to be very suspicious, so they phone Detective Baker about what happened. He asks about Bill’s jet, which they hadn’t thought of. He orders them to leave Bill’s house because it might be dangerous. Baker hopes that they get Sheila in custody tonight.

Later, Bill and Sheila arrive at his house. She is very grateful for all he’s done for her. As they planned, he phones the police to say Sheila is there and that they need to hurry. He promises Sheila that once she goes back to jail, he’ll make sure to get her out, and then she’ll be free, and they can be together. Sheila grabs his sword and tells him to remember what it stands for. She says that she loves him and that she’s his for life because he takes what he wants at all costs. He doesn’t tell her that he loves her, but they kiss.

The police arrive, guns drawn, so Bill hands her over to them, pretending to be relieved that they’re there. Baker says that this is the end for Sheila, but she gives Bill a smoldering look as they lead her out.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Happy. Happy New Year.

Ah. Yeah,

come on, Gabby. Pick up.

It’s me again. Your groom, Jing Gwen told me you’ve gone to Miami to find Stephan. Please call me back as soon as you get this, Gabby, I know how hurt and angry you must be, but if, if you, if you just give me a chance, I can explain everything, so please call me. I love you so much.

Oh man, really? What the hell are you doing in here? Apparently I’m a little too late. How did you get in? Oh, the front desk was very nice to give me this after I showed them that my, it says Gabby Damara, and that’s good. My husband.

What do you mean Rachel’s gone well? Well, she’s not in her bed and, and it’s after midnight and I don’t know where she is. Brady, what are you doing? I’m calling Eric. Who do you think?

It’s his voicemail. Oh my God. I mean, he’s not here. He’s not picking up his phone. He’s supposed to stay with Rachel until we get home. Holidays are passed. Now it’s time to put that plan into motion. Right. My own daughter. Listen, it’s the only way we can force Kristen’s hand. I’m I, I un, I understand. We just have to make sure that we find the right time to.

Tonight. It has to be tonight. Look, he’s the most responsible guy. I know. There’s gotta be some kind of explanation. A donor is missing Brady,

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

I know it’s traditional for people to kiss someone at midnight.

So was this just a New Year’s kiss? It seems to me this kiss could mean whatever, want to.

Hey, hey, where are you going? I dunno.

That was, uh, totally unexpected.

You know, you know this Z we came up with. You don’t make everybody think we’re a couple, so they cut you. Guess what we’re really up to? Well,

I don’t know. Now it’s starting to feel more like mob. We’re really up to instead of an act that I don’t think that made any sense. This is New Year’s. A kissing could just be like, you know, going with the flow felt pretty real to me.

You mean that

felt pretty real to me too.

She’ll call sh sh. She’ll gimme a chance to explain

a message from Rolf. He’s got some explaining to do

your husband’s room. Are you in Lee Honeymooning in this hotel? If so, go find him and leave the two of us alone. I Salem and I don’t want any part of him. You’re not making any sense at the wedding. I remembered something. So, so Rolf did brainwash you, he wipe out your feelings for me. Okay. That is ridiculous.

You told me yourself, you went and saw Wolf, told him your crazy theory, he denied it and you believed. Yes. At first I did, but then I remembered that while I was arguing with him, he all of a sudden had a needle in his hand. He injected me with some kind of drug that made me forget that at first. He admitted I was right.

Well, how do you remember now? I don’t know. I don’t know. But as soon as, as Lee and I were pronounced man and wife, it all came back to me. Stefan, you still love me? If I remember that, then so can you.

Why are you doing this? What do you get out of it? The truth. Everyone in Salem knows that Rolf is devoted to the Deras. So why would he brainwash Stephan? Because it wasn’t Rolf’s decision. Somebody else forced him to do it. Who would do such a thing to me? Huh? Le, my brand new husband.

How the hell could you do this to me? I couldn’t answer when you called me before. I was getting married to the love of my life, but it doesn’t matter. Your warning came too late. The shot were off about five seconds after Gabby and I were married. She’s on her way to Miami right now to find Stefan.

You’re sorry that’s all you’ve got. I guess. You’re not the genius you thought you were and now, now you’ve ruined my life.

It is. Uh, After midnight. , wanna go for a walk?

I know I told my brother I was done with him, but his whole world flew up tonight. Fuck you. You, you’ve warned the guy that that might happen, but I’m not the kind of person who said, I told you so. I feel so bad for him and it kind of makes it hard to focus on how happy I am with you right now. I’m happy too.

D’s lovely. He, he will probably lose his job at Jamira. He might even go to prison. I get it. You’re his sister. He needs. You want to be there for, will I see you tomorrow? I think the chances of that are excellent. I’m gonna ask you on a real date, not one that’s just for appearances. I like that very much.

Okay.

Happy New Year. Happy New Year,

Chris. Hey, Eric’s not here. Rachel’s not here. You know they have New Year’s Eve fireworks down by the river. I’m sure that’s where he took her. Right? But he is not picking up his phone. You’re talking about me. I turned my phone off. Where is Rachel? Uh, she calmed down around 11. You have to put her in bed and tucked her in.

Okay. I was just there. She’s not in her room. It’s impossible. I just checked on her 10 minutes ago. Well, she’s not there now. What happened to my baby girl, Eric?

Thank you.

Hey, I, I think I know what’s going on. Well, why don’t you tell me that? Alright. Listen, listen, listen, Rachel, sometimes she sleepwalk, right? She hasn’t done that since I’ve been here. No, she’s done it. She’s done it once or twice before. So maybe she’s, she’s probably ConEd out one of the other bedrooms. She better be.

She better be or you are in a lot of trouble. Hey Rachel, sweetheart, it’s mommy. Come on out, honey. The hell are you doing? Where is my kid?

Some people think ice cream is just summer. Those people are nuts. That’s what I say. Good. Thanks for letting me stay up past midnight. Yeah, no problem. Oh, he is the best girlfriend uncle Eric ever had.

Oh, wait, wait, wait. What? What is it?

You and I have been here before and we keep coming back here because there’s an undeniable attraction between. Yes, but it doesn’t mean we should give into it. Why not be be? Because look, the, we use this as a distraction for what we really want and can’t have. I mean, look at last time I was trying to forget about Rafe and you were trying to get over Sammy, and we did both of those things.

Isn’t that something we should celebrate for you baby? Eugene, stop please. For me, it’s, it’s the same tactic. Different guy. Eric, again, do I need to remind you that he’s not having a moment or whatever other jargon you used? He’s moved on. No, he’s not. Bloody hell, Nicole, while you are here mooning over him, he’s probably making passionate love to Sloane Peterson.

Sloan Peterson. You left my kid with Sloane Peterson. What? Are you nuts? Rachel was fine. She and Sloan hit it off immediately. Dude, you did not tell me that you were gonna bring Sloan into this. How do you know that you can trust your lawyer? She’s my lawyer. We have attorney client privilege. Oh, that’s reassuring.

Don’t you understand that? That doesn’t mean a damn thing because she aided and abetted you in a crime.

All right, so tell me why. Why do you think Lee would do this to me? Because he found out that Rolf was keeping you alive. That, that he transplanted Jake’s heart into your chest. How, how did he find out? I don’t know. All I know is that he thought that having a damer on ice would be good leverage in a family business.

But then he fell for me and things got complicated for him. Okay. I, I, I can’t believe this Now, I don’t know Lee that well, but I cannot believe that he would go this. He changed when he met me. He was scared to death of you waking up. He thought that if you did, I’d forget all about him. So he made sure that didn’t happen.

How I pulling the plug on the machines that we’re keeping you alive.

I thought it was her. Right. What are you doing here, Jing? When I thought you said I was on my own. I know.

I thought you might not wanna be alone right now.

Come in.

You said you and Johnny drove Gabby to the airport. I thought maybe she, she didn’t get on the plane. I don’t think there was any chance of that. When we left her, she was totally determined to get this stuff.

You are saying that Lee tried to murder Stephan? Yeah. Ray arrested him tonight for it. He dragged him out of our wedding and street to headquarters. Turns out I didn’t know the man I married at all. Okay? And I am sorry about that. I am, but what do you expect me to do about it? I expect you to go get your stuff and help me go find Ralph.

Undo what he did to you. Forget it. What? I’m not going anywhere with you, Gabby. I’m staying right here with Chloe.

I had to think Va Brady, the important thing is that Rachel is happy. She’s safe and you know where she is? Yeah. She’s with a woman who has zero school. She’s not there. I, I’ve been looking everywhere. Where are you looking for her? I’m, no, I’m about to. I um, who are you calling? Brady. Our daughter is missing.

I’m calling the cops.

Eric is just using Sloan to get over. But that doesn’t mean I should use you to get over him. I use me. I’m at your disposal. I would love nothing more than to lose myself in this bed. Well then, but I okay , but it wouldn’t hurt to try restraint for once in my life. Like I, I, I’m not close to being over Eric and I’m not even divorced from ra.

I suppose I understand, and one of my top New Year’s resolutions is to stop making decisions that I will regret. You call what you do, making decisions. See, even, you know, I’m right

and if you ever. Result back to acting on the instinct. I very much hope that I’ll be there.

Oh, and by the way, when I told you that I was aware of what Lee did to dear to Stephan, I assumed you would keep that to yourself.

You’ve assumed, right. Thank you. Don’t mention it.

Goodnight, Nicole.

I know I’ve made a total mess of things.

You’re always ruthless. We’re going after something you.

I learned that at our father’s knee,

not that he’s to blame for what I’ve done. Can I ask you something?

I don’t have any more secrets Left. Let’s go for it. Did truly try to kill Stephan?

Did you not hear a word? I just said, Gabby. I heard every word of it. None of it matters to me. Part of your brain that loves me was wiped out. And you’re okay with that. Maybe you didn’t notice when you broke into this room, Gabby, but Chloe and I were kind of in the middle of something. You’d rather have sex than find out what happened to you.

We just made love for the first time, and that is a very big deal to me. That only happened because you’re not in your right mind. He’s only here with you because he doesn’t remember the part of his brain that, that, that still loves me. Is that good enough for you?

Hey, you’re, you’re not on good terms with the police right now, Chris. I don’t care. Our baby is Missy Brady. I, and why is you so damn about it? No, no, no, no. I’m just, he was here. There’s no way someone could have broken in. Oh my God. What if, what if she woke up and, and she wanted to see New Year’s Eve and she, she sleep and walked out that door?

Oh my God, yes. Yes. I wanna report

what happened,

Chris, out. I trusted you. It. I trusted you when you were in there feeding your bed. I don’t understand.

My baby girl. No, just stand by there.

I’m gonna go find Rachel. I’m gonna get her back for you. Yeah, I’m going with, I have two. Put my damn phone. What happened? It was somebody, somebody should stay here in case they contact us again. Ready? I can take my phone. I can, and I mean, I’m not gonna just sit here while a monster has our daughter.

See, lemme see,

man. Okay. Okay. We, we need, we, we need to do what, what, what they want all. We’ll do what they want. And you, I need you to stay here, okay? Short. Okay. Alright. Find her. I’m gonna find her and we’re gonna bring her home safely. Okay.

Hate this. I don’t like it either. I prefer to watch my mom get sick of we die this time. She could do something crazy right now. Hey, I know what she’s capable of. You said Kristen got arrested for what I found out at the wedding. That Kristen and Lee Shin got Rolf to brainwash Stephan into wanting Chloe and hating Gabby.

Are you kidding me? And that’s why he is with Chloe now. She wanted Chloe out of my life. She found a way to make it happen. And the police know now. Yeah, everyone at the wedding knows now. Kristin, you go back to prison. I don’t know what she’s gonna do next, man. Listen, I’m gonna go check on Rachel and make sure she’s okay.

You should check on her because I don’t like the fact that she’s with Sloane Peterson right now. Okay. You go back inside and keep an eye on Kristen. What am I gonna tell her? Why did I come back so quick? I don’t know. Go get for a support. Be United Front. I don’t know. Some balone like that. Plea guilty or desperate?

Not guilty and desperate. Okay. Yeah, it’s not a stretch for me right now. Okay. I’ll go down to the garage with you and I’ll come right back up. All right, good. Because you need to convince Kristen that this is for. I’m gonna do whatever I have to do. I want that bitch out of all of our lives.

Oh, I was just about to, uh, have a toast with your grandfather’s ghost, but you’re a much better company. If you’d care to join me, why not? Your usual. Sure.

Thank you.

Happy New Year. Same to you.

Hi. So did you get Gabby to the airport on time? Yeah. Yep. She, uh, just barely made her flight. She’s. I’s probably in Miami right now. Could even be with Stephan telling him everything. Well, I’m more concerned with what Lee is telling the police. I hope he’s upset over Gabby than causing to spill his guts.

Yeah. And uh, tell Rafe that you knew your brother was brainwashed and did nothing about it. Yes. That, yeah. Well, you are in luck, Lee’s not with the police. They had to let him and on Kristin.

Yep. The only person with him now is Wendy.

I went to Rolf’s lab to get a look at

the love of Gabby’s life.

Ste was just lying there. Help. For all intents and purposes, he’d been dead four years.

I wanted him to stay that way because I was so in love with Gabby, and I knew if Stefan came back, I’d loser to it

and I saw the plug. To the machine that was technically keeping me on alive.

It was all that stood in between me and what I wanted more than I’ve ever wanted anything.

You think I’m a monster, don’t you?

Anything that you think is real between you and Stefan isn’t. He was programmed to be repulsed by me and attracted to you. Do not listen to her. Chloe. No. And aren’t you still on the rebound from Brady? I mean, come on, do yourself a favor. Just get dressed and get out of here. You what? The only one who’s leaving here, Gabby, is you.

What the hell are you doing? Chloe and I came here to spend New Year’s Eve together alone, and that’s exactly what we’re gonna do. That is not gonna make a difference though, because I know the truth and so to you.

Oh my God, you’re back so fast. Did you find something out? Oh, Eric is out there looking. I decided to stay with you. You know, just in case there’s a ransom. Oh my God. I was, Kristen. I was worried. I was worried about you. I don’t, I don’t think you should be alone right now. Thank you.

I, I never expected any of this to happen. I don’t, nothing. Of course she didn’t. I mean, neither did I. We do this. Who would take your sweet baby? Girl?

Good. You gotta just sleep. Finally. God, I spent my New Years watching cartoons. Do you know how boring and stupid those things are? I’m sorry. I thought we were gonna ring in the new year together. And instead I spent my New Year’s emergency babysitting. Hmm. At least it’s over. Actually. It wasn’t a babysitting emergency.

What do you mean something I didn’t tell you?

You think I’m going anywhere? You, you better think. If she doesn’t stop, I will call the front desk and have them send security out here.

Okay. I guess,

come on, where were we?

A message from me. This on will be good.

You hungry? I’m starving. We could order some more room service. Stephan, your ex-wife just showed up here and told you that Ralph literally got inside your head and turned off your feelings for her, and then he brainwashed you into wanting to be with me and you’re talking about food. Okay. I’m actually trying to forget that she was even here.

Are you not even a bit curious about what happened to you? I have heard so many versions of the same damn story and I don’t care. Look, Gabby just married Lee, maybe she’s realizing what a terrible mistake she made. She seemed pretty sure about you. I don’t care how she feels about me, I can’t stand the side of her.

You and I just made love for the first. And that is what is important to me tonight.

I know that you’re the one I wanna be with, and I’m praying you feel the same way.

I asked you a question, do you think I’m a monster? Stephan’s still alive, so I’m hoping that means you plucked him back. Actually, the alarm went off right when Kristen got there. She did the re plugging. So you would’ve let him die. I, I, I don’t know. In retrospect, I’m, I’m glad she showed up. I think I was alone in a room with Stephan and I temporarily lost my mind.

What is that? What your lawyer’s gonna tell the cops?

I am not the nicest guy in the world, jingly, but I’m no killer.

So what happens now,

the police Gabby’s brother, he’s out to get me. If Ray Fernandez figures out that you and Johnny knew about. He’ll want you to corroborate Gabby’s account. It sounds like you’re asking me to lie for you. I dunno if I can do that.

This is Gabby,

Gabby. Thank you so much for calling me back. Well, I was hoping you wouldn’t answer because you’ve been locked up. Your brother let Kristen AMI go. He doesn’t have any proof that I did anything wrong. Well, I don’t need proof cuz I know what you did and I hate you for it. If it’s the last thing I do, I’m gonna make you pay.

Okay. How can I convince you? And I got over Gabby on my own. Huh? I don’t know. But I am going to have to be convinced. Then I will do just that.

What, well, you said before that you would get your own room and I think that right now is a good idea.

That’s what you want. That’s what I’ll do.

Oh, I’m one more thing before I hang up on you forever. I’m in Miami right now and I talk to Stephan. Does does he? Does he remember how he felt about you? No, not yet. But he’ll come around. All your tricks, all your efforts to make and forget. It’s all for nothing because seven will love me again. Damnit. He will.

If we don’t find her, Brady, I don’t wanna go on living. I know. No stuff done. We’re gonna get her back. Rachel’s fine.

How do you know that? I just know. Will you keep telling me that please.

Yeah. Yeah.

Kristen’s kid. How can you, my Christy, in my mother’s life in her hand, what vulnerable spot in her life is Rachel. I’m just hoping she won’t take very long to give. How do I get the sense that you’re enjoying this? Kristen ruined my life a few years ago, and if I told you some of the things that she did to people I care about, you wouldn’t even believe me.

So I really don’t care if she suffers one moment, especially if it makes her do the right thing.

As far as I know, Lee kept you out of this. RA won’t let this one go. He’ll come sniffing around here eventually. Yeah. Well I’m not gonna tell him anything. Or Uncle Stephan. I very much appreciate that. Yeah. I know how much you and Wendy didn’t like keeping this secret. Yeah, yeah. We are both glad that that’s over.

So what is going on between you and Wendy? Oh, that is, None of your business. So there is something. Ah, we’ll, uh, we’ll see what happens in the new year. What about you and Nicole? We’ll see what happens in the new year.

You can take off. I wouldn’t want you to hang around with a guy who’s ruined everything for himself

at least. Do you see that? Now? That’s something

I have nothing left.

What? My chopped liver.

You my big brother. You drive me crazy.

No matter what you do. I will always love you.

You sure about this?

After tonight? I’m, I don’t know. I’m not sure about anything. Well, except that I did have a really nice. New Year’s Eve with you, so thank you. What’s the best night I can.

Thank God you believe me. Oh, I can’t wait to see the look on wall’s face. Get the hell outta my way.

It’ll. It’s just gonna take some time. It’ll.

Update written by Barbara

At Crimson Lights, Jack and Adam are sitting at a table talking, and Jack tells Adam that he has accomplished quite a lot at Jabot in the short time he has been there. Adam downplays Jack’s compliments, saying that his work has been adequate and it’s not that big of a deal.

Jeremy comes into the coffeehouse and heads over to the patio. Adam notices how Jack starts looking uncomfortable and asks Jack if he knows “that guy”. Without saying who Jeremy is, Jack tells Adam that the man is a thorn in his side. When Adam asks if it’s business or personal says it’s the latter. He mentions  that the man is someone Diane used to know.

Adam is intrigued and asks if he’s an old flame of Diane’s. Jack says it’s nothing like that and lavishes praise on Diane, saying that she has been forthright, admitted her sins, changed her life around and what she’s done is very valuable.

Adam observes that Jack is very protective of Diane. Jack tells him that this is because she’s Kyle’s mother and Harrison’s grandmother. Adam asks how Diane got him to forgive her completely. Jack says that it wasn’t easy, but she came through and earned his forgiveness.  Adam tells Jack that he worries about Jack because he doesn’t to see him get hurt.

Meanwhile, at the Abbott house, Diane lets Kyle and Summer know that Jeremy bought her story about wanting to reunite with him. Kyle is not in favor of what she is planning next, it’s a huge risk, but she assures him she’ll be fine. As the three of them are talking, Diane gets a text from Jeremy asking her to meet him at Crimson Lights.

When Diane opens the front door to head over to the coffeehouse, Phyllis is there. Phyllis is shocked and appalled that Diane is back. She asks if Diane ever really left. Diane deflects, saying that she has to be somewhere, and leaves.

Phyllis asks what Diane is doing there and if Kyle, Summer and Jack have been lying to her about where Diane has been. Kyle tells Phyllis it’s none of her business. Phyllis counters that it is her business, with all the lying that’s been going on.

Phyllis lets Summer know that she came to the Abbott house to see and talk to her because she doesn’t like how things are between them. Phyllis chokes back tears, mentioning to Kyle and Summer that she has come to terms with them firing her from Marchetti. She also reminds Summer that they did not see each other on Christmas, nor did Summer even call her. Summer knows this hurt her mother and looks uncomfortable.

Jeremy is seated at a table on the patio at the coffeehouse, having a heated discussion with Jack when Diane arrives. Jeremy tells Jack that he’s not sure he’s still interested in Jack’s cash offer. Jack becomes irrate and demands to know what changed. Diane enters the patio and says “I’ve changed”.

She and Jack then put on a performance for Jeremy, with her telling Jack that she’s back with Jeremy and she can take care of her own life.  Jack pretends to be aghast by this news and says he cannot believe that she would go back to “that criminal”. He shouts to Jeremy and Diane that they are each other’s problems now, and they better not do anything to harm Kyle, Summer or Harrison and storms off.

Jeremy tells Diane that he’s not sure Diane meant what she told Jack about wanting to be with him, not Jack. Jeremy says that he thinks she gave a great performance, and says that he needs more from her. He says that she has to take a loyalty test to prove her allegiance to him.

Jeremy and Diane go inside Crimson Lights where Diane is putting cream and sugar in her coffee. When she turns around, Jeremy caresses her cheek.

At Sally’s suite, Chloe has come over with the pregnancy test Sally requested. She asks Sally if she even got any sleep and Sally says that despite her anxiety, she slept all night, totally conked out, in her clothes.

Sally takes the pregnancy test and heads for the bathroom, asking Chloe to stay with her while she takes the test. She tells Chloe that she doesn’t want to be alone when she looks to see what the result is. Chloe is more than willing to stay around.

While Sally is in the bathroom, Nick shows up at her suite. Chloe answers the door and speaks loudly, referring to Nick by name and thereby alerting Sally that he is there. When Sally comes out of the bathroom, Nick he tells her that he stopped by because he wanted to check on her and see how she’s doing. She tells him that the soup and ginger ale did the trick and she’s feeling better. Nick invites Sally out to eat, but she tells him that she can’t because she and Chloe have a lot of work to catch up on since Sally had a “stomach bug”. Once he leaves, the women wait for the result of Sally’s pregnancy test.

Sally starts pacing while waiting for the pregnancy test result. Chloe gently tells her to calm down and relax. Chloe then looks at her phone and tells Sally that it’s time to look at the test. Sally picks it up and tells Chloe that it shows she’s pregnant.

Chloe is surprised that Sally is remaining so calm and how she doesn’t even want to try to deal with it. Sally says there’s nothing to deal with because her cycles have always been irregular, she’s not that late, and the test is unreliable. Chloe suggests to Sally that she is in denial, which Sally says is not the case. She then mentions that she is okay and wants some time alone to refocus. Chloe agrees to leave.

At Society, Mariah, Tessa and Sharon are reminiscing about how Sharon and Rey had their New Year’s Eve wedding and their first anniversary there. Sharon jokes around, saying it feels nice to get out of the coffeehouse. She says that it feels like that’s the only place she ever go. She also shares with them how she failed at cooking Rey’s mother’s tamale recipe.

Mariah’s phone pings but the text is not from Delphine, the woman whose baby might be the one for Mariah and Tessa. They have been waiting to hear from her. Another text comes in and it does turn out to be Delphine, apologizing for not getting in touch with them sooner. Mariah and Tessa breathe a sigh of relief because they had been worried that Delphine had changed her mind. Quite the opposite, Delphine says that she wants to meet with them the next day. Tessa happily prepares to book their flights.

At Crimson Lights, Jeremy is not sure that Diane meant what she told Jack about wanting to be with him, not Jack. Jeremy says that he thinks she gave a great performance, and he needs more from her. He says that she has to take a loyalty test to prove her allegiance to him.

At Newman Enterprises, Nick comes into Victoria’s office looking for her and finds Victor there. Nick turns to leave but Victor stops him, saying he wants to talk. Victor lets Nick know that he doesn’t want him being with Sally Spectra. Nick angrily tells his father to stop meddling in his personal life and let him take things with Sally on his own terms. Victor says that he can’t help but want the best for Nick, Victoria, Adam and Abby.

After leaving Victoria’s office at Newman Enterprises, Nick goes to Society, where he runs into Sharon, Tessa, and Mariah at the club. They invite him to join them and he does.

Victor goes to Jabot to see Adam and talk about Connor. Victor lets Adam know that he’s aware that he doesn’t want Connor living at the ranch full time, and Victor just wants Connor to be a bigger part of Nikki and his lives. Adam tells Victor that he will talk to Chelsea and work out a schedule. Victor comments that Adam is quite protective of Chelsea and asks if he and Chelsea are going to get back together. Adam says no, and that he’s just concerened about her welfare.

Just as Phyllis is leaving the Abbott house after a weepy conversation with Summer, Diane and Jack come in after her meeting with Jeremy. Phyllis angrily says that this is “the icing on the cake”, further evidence that Diane did not flee in fear of Jeremy. After Phyllis leaves, Jack tries to talk to Summer about the situation, but she tells him that while she appreciates his concern, she loves her mother and the two of them will work things out.

Kyle asks Diane and Jack how his meeting with Jeremy went. Diane says she thinks that he believed her and he requested some kind of loyalty test from her. She says that she has no idea what this could be, and tells Jack, Kyle and Summer that she will do whatever it takes to get rid of Jeremy.

In her suite after Chloe leaves, Sally throws away the bag that the pregnancy test had been in. After hesitating for a moment, she tosses the test itself into the trash.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jack: You’ve accomplished quite a lot in your short time at jabot.

Adam: Ohh. Come on. It — it was adequate.

Jack: Nah, this is no time to be modest.

Adam: I made a few simple decisions to streamline our processes. It’s not that big of a deal, jack. You know, you don’t, uh, applaud the tenor for clearing his throat, do you?

Jack: [ Chuckles ] I suppose not. I take it that means you have bigger plans for 2023.

Adam: Um…I do. I do, and I look forward to sharing those with you soon. But I just… you know, as we begin this new year, I just — I want to thank you again for giving me this opportunity. You know, I was in a place in my life where I needed somebody to have faith in me, and you stepped up. I appreciate it.

Jack: It was a very easy decision to make.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Well, now who’s being modest? I know the rest of your family was very strongly opposed to the decision.

Jack: All water under the bridge, adam.

Adam: Well, you’re the only one I’ve heard from, so I guess I’ll have to take your word for it. Maybe all my haters are reserving judgment to wait to see how I do on the mctavish deal.

Jack: Oh, speaking of mctavish, there is a binder on my desk with hard copies of all the information you’re gonna need.

Adam: You know that guy?

Jack: He is a thorn in my side I can’t wait to get rid of.

Adam: Is it personal or is it business?

Jack: Personal. Someone diane used to know and had hoped to forget.

Summer: So, your plan is in motion?

Diane: It is. When I talked to jeremy yesterday, I made it clear that I wanted to rekindle our relationship, and that way he’ll think we’re getting back together and he will leave the abbotts alone.

Kyle: I’m still not crazy about this idea. It seems too dangerous.

Diane: Your father and i think it’s the best way to neutralize him.

Summer: And he bought that you want to get back together with him as a couple?

Diane: I know jeremy well enough to know that this is a game to him. He’s intrigued by it, and he thinks he’s in the power position, but actually I’m the one calling the shots.

Kyle: I am impressed by your strength, but you know you don’t have to keep up the act around us. This has to be taking a toll on you. I mean, did you even sleep last night?

Diane: A little. Enough. Look, I appreciate what you’re saying, but this whole thing depends on me convincing jeremy that I want to be with him. If I let my guard down, even for a moment —

[ Cellphone pings ]

[ Sighs ] It’s him. He wants to meet with me now.

Sally: I am so glad to see you.

Chloe: I’m sorry I didn’t make it back last night. I hit up a couple stores, but they were closed early because of the holiday, and then kevin called. Miles was wired. Bella wouldn’t go back to sleep until I got home. And then I called you, but it went to voicemail. So…that’s my story.

Sally: Yeah. I-I-I didn’t even hear my phone ring. I didn’t think I was gonna be able to get any rest last night, but I totally passed out in my clothes.

Chloe: Well, that’s what anxiety does. It’s exhausting. But the good news is… I got what you wanted. Your pregnancy test.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Thank you so much. You are a life-saver. I… man, I really hope this puts an end to my anxiety.

Chloe: Fingers crossed.

Sally: You’re gonna stay with me while I take this test, right?

Chloe: Of course. Whatever you need.

Sally: Okay. Thank you.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Door closes ]

Chloe: Nick.

Nick: Hey, chloe. Didn’t expect to see you here this morning. I guess we both wanted to know how sally was doing. Hope she got over that bug. Where is she? -What’s he doing? -He’s cleaning the trash cans.

Sharon: Good morning!

Mariah: Hi! Good morning. Good to see you.

Sharon: Mwah! You too. Thanks for having me.

Mariah: Thank you so much for meeting us for breakfast today.

Sharon: Well, it’s nice to get out of the coffeehouse. I feel like that’s the only place I ever go.

[ Laughter ]

Tessa: Well, you did so much for everyone at christmas. We felt like we should buy you some french toast.

Sharon: Ah, you girls are so sweet.

Mariah: I have to say, though, I am sort of surprised that you wanted to come here so close to new year’S.

Sharon: Because this is where rey and I had our new year’s eve wedding.

Mariah: Yeah. I just — I didn’t want it to bring up any bad memories for you.

Sharon: Well, I don’t have any bad memories of our wedding. We exchanged our vows right over here. And there’s where we celebrated our one-year anniversary. I may — I don’t know — shed a tear, but I have only happy memories of our wedding. This place makes me happy. I don’t want to run away from that. I want to embrace those memories, and I’m really glad that you girls are here to help me do that.

Adam: Well, you seem very protective of diane.

Jack: Well, she’s kyle’s mother. She’s harrison’s grandmother. That seems reason enough to want to look after her well-being.

Adam: I don’t know, jack. It seems like there’s a little more to it than that. I mean, who is this guy on the patio? Is this an old flame or —

Jack: You know what? No, this guy doesn’t even matter. No, the point is, diane has made the sacrifice. She’s done the work to build a new life for herself. That’s to be admired. That’s to be protected.

Adam: Wow. Wow. How did she get you to forgive her completely? I mean, that’s — that’s no small task.

Jack: Why do you ask? You’re just curious?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Um…let’s say I’m — I’m asking for a friend.

Jack: So, this is just a case study for you. You’re wondering what her strategy is. Well…it wasn’t easy. She was completely forthright. She acknowledged her sins. She admitted her regrets. She did her penance.

Adam: Hmm. Wow, your capacity to forgive, it’s — it’s pretty admirable, jack.

Jack: I’m sure some would say it’s a weakness.

Adam: No, I — not to me. I mean, if it wasn’t for your forgiveness, I wouldn’t be here. So I’m grateful to you, jack. I just… you know, I worry about you.

Jack: Worry about me? Why?

Adam: I don’t want to see you get hurt. I think it’s notable that you have chosen to forgive diane, but you couldn’t do the same with phyllis or sally.

Jack: Oh, no, the situations aren’t even comparable. Look, my — my friendship with sally — and that’s all it ever was — was short. It was — it was a moment in the grand scheme of things. My history with phyllis [Sighs] Was epic and exhausting, a long road strewn with broken promises and heartbreak after many, many second chances. No, I can’t — can’t spend any more energy making myself vulnerable to her. It’s a one-way ticket to disappointment.

Adam: And yet you find diane trustworthy.

Jack: I have seen diane work hard to be a better person. I’ve seen her change. She needs someone to back her up. And I’m the one to do it.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Diane: I’ll be fine. Believe me, I can handle jeremy stark. And jack will be there, so there’s really no need to worry.

Kyle: Yeah, that’s easy to say, but I can think of a couple dozen reasons.

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ] Then wish me luck.

Summer: We’ll be waiting to hear from you and jack.

Diane: We’ll be sure and give you the details.

[ Sighs ] You have a visitor.

Phyllis: You’re back. Did you ever leave?

Diane: I don’t have time for this.

Phyllis: What’s going on? Trelegy for copd.

Sharon: Rey’s mom was so protective of that recipe.

Mariah: I think she was more protective of rey.

Sharon: You know, that may be. It felt like an honor that she trusted me with it. But I followed that recipe precisely! I made two platters of tamales!

Tessa: What happened?

Sharon: Rey took one bite, and his eyes got so big. He was like a cartoon character. It took him like five minutes to swallow.

Tessa: Oh, no!

Sharon: And, you know, he tried to pretend that they were edible, but it was a total disaster. I couldn’t even eat one of them. And to this day, I have no idea what I did wrong. But rey just said, you know, i needed some practice and we’ll work on it together.

Mariah: Well, he loved you for trying.

Sharon: He did.

Tessa: Rey was the best. To rey.

Mariah: To rey.

Sharon: To rey.

Mariah: You know, we should all follow rey’s example when we are trying to experiment in the kitchen.

Tessa: Yes. Positivity and patience.

Sharon: Two words to live by.

[ Cellphone vibrating ]

Mariah: Uh, no, it’s — it’s not her.

Sharon: Not who?

Mariah: Delphine.

Sharon: The woman who’s considering you as parents for her child?

Mariah: Yep, that’s right.

Sharon: She sent a sonogram to you on christmas day.

Tessa: Yeah, but we haven’t heard anything since.

Sharon: Oh. Well, her message said she was looking forward to meeting you. What happened?

Mariah: We don’t know. And we’re not sure what that means.

Sally: [ Breathes deeply ]

[ Exhales heavily ]

Chloe: [ Loudly ] Yes, she’ll be out in a minute, nick.

Nick: I hope she’s feeling better. How’d she seem to you?

[ Door closes ]

Sally: Hi. Hi. Nice to see you.

Nick: Nice to see you, too. How’s your new year treating you?

Sally: Uh, so far, so good. Yeah, the soup and the ginger ale really did the trick. I feel like I could run a marathon. But I won’t, though, ’cause, you know, it’s far too cold.

Nick: Good. Maybe we could get together for a bite or something.

Sally: I would love that, but this bug made me fall behind on my work.

Chloe: It’s true. We are, you know — we’re — we’re just really busy. We’ve got a lot to catch up on, and I don’t want to point any fingers at who’s responsible, but…

Nick: What did I do?

Sally: Will you quit monopolizing my business partner’s time? Can you not tell how busy we are?

Nick: Okay, okay, I can take a hint.

Chloe: That wasn’t really a hint. I was just two seconds from telling you to get the hell out of here.

Nick: Really good at taking obvious hints. Got it. Um… maybe I’ll call you later.

Sally: We’ll talk this afternoon.

[ Sighs heavily ] Thank you so much. I probably do not tell you that enough.

Chloe: No, you don’T. And you’re welcome.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

[ Exhales heavily ]

Chloe: All we can do now is wait.

Phyllis: I thought your mom left town because she was scared to death of jeremy stark. I mean, that’s what you told me. Have you guys been hiding her?

Kyle: I don’t think any of this is your business.

Phyllis: Oh. It’s not my business that you’ve been lying to me and everybody else in town? Why don’t you just say you want to protect your mom?

Summer: Mom, can we please not talk about this right now?

Phyllis: Okay. When you want to talk about it?

Summer: You came here for a reason, right? What was it?

Adam: Everything alright?

Jack: Yeah, everything’s fine. My next appointment just got bumped up.

Adam: Uh, well, I think we covered everything, right?

Jack: Yeah, you’ve got that mctavish meeting to get ready for.

Adam: Uh-huh. I think I have a handle on it, so I’ll give you an update later.

Jack: Good to see you.

Adam: Good to see you.

Jack: Stark.

Jeremy: Jack. Didn’t want to disturb you and your friend. But I’m so glad we have a chance to chat. I was wondering when I was gonna see you again. You did promise that second payment, incentivize me to leave town.

Jack: I did. It’s taken a little longer to get that much cash together.

Jeremy: Is that right?

Jack: It is the holiday. I think you know I’m good for it.

Jeremy: Sure. I understand. Don’t put yourself out.

Jack: I didn’t take you for a patient man.

Jeremy: I’m not. I just don’t think I have much interest in your offer anymore.

Jack: Whoa, whoa, whoa. What does that mean?

Jeremy: Things have changed.

Jack: Wait, we had a deal, an agreement.

Jeremy: A deal? A notarized, signed contract? I don’t remember that.

Jack: You don’t say “things changed.” That’s not enough. What changed?

Diane: I changed, jack. I came back for him. (Vo) red lobster’s finer points of fun dining:

Nick: Hey, dad. Where’s vick?

Victor: Hey, son. She and your mother are having a breakfast meeting with marketing.

Nick: Alright. I’ll stop by later, then.

Victor: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute. Is that it?

Nick: Yeah. Why?

Victor: Just that you… seemed to have a lot to say about adam and sally spectra the other day.

Nick: Well, you didn’t exactly hold back.

Victor: Oh, did you think i would?

Nick: No, but I’m not proud that I lost my temper the way i did. Sorry about that.

Victor: I appreciate that. And I’m sorry for having told you about the dossier that i compiled on sally spectra, you know? But, yeah, son, I just want you to be successful and happy and all that, you know? And sometimes I guess I don’t know how to go about ensuring that.

Nick: Well, you could just let me figure it out on my own.

Victor: Oh.

[ Chuckles ] I never thought of that. So… being a father ain’t easy sometimes, is it? Hmm? I just am having conflicts with your brother, and I don’t want to have another one with you.

Jack: Wait, you came back to him?

Diane: Jack, you need to understand —

Jack: When did you come back to town?

Diane: Yesterday.

Jack: And you reached out to him? Not me? Not your son?

Diane: Could you just listen? This is the right thing to do. I was scared, and so I ran off. And I shouldn’t have done that. I left you to clean up the mess I made, just like I did all those years ago. You know, I understand that you offered to pay jeremy off again?

Jack: Yes, that’s right. I did.

Diane: Well, you shouldn’t have to pay for my behavior.

Jack: Oh, now you’re taking the high road.

Diane: No, I’m trying to make things right. Reconnecting with you and kyle and — and meeting harrison has meant so much to me. But you all need to move on without me. I don’t want to hurt anyone anymore.

Jack: You don’t think this is cowardly and hurtful?

Diane: And I don’t want you to worry about jeremy. We left a lot unresolved when our relationship ended.

Jack: You mean when he was arrested and imprisoned?

Diane: That’s right. But he knows now that I had nothing to do with that.

Jeremy: Diane feels it’s time for us to reconnect.

Jack: You can’t be serious.

Diane: We have a complex history that I don’t think you’ll ever understand.

Jack: No, you’re damn right. I will never understand that.

Diane: But this is my life and my decision, and I’m asking you to stay out of it.

Phyllis: So, diane’s supposed to be gone, but she’s still here. Do you not see a pattern? She was dead. She turned out very alive.

[ Chuckles ] You want to keep the spotlight on me? Is that what you want to do?

Summer: It’s not like that, mom. I promise you.

Phyllis: It really is, but it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter. That’s not [Sighs] Why I came here. Um… I didn’t like how we left things, so I just wanted to talk to you about it.

Summer: Neither do I. I hate all of this negativity between us.

Phyllis: I do, too. I do, too. And, um, I — I thought about all the reasons you fired me from marchetti. I just went over it and over it, and, um…

[ Voice breaking ] I just want you to know I came to terms with it.

Kyle: You have?

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. Yeah. I totally understand.

Summer: Mom, that’s a relief. I know that you are gonna be so much happier working with daniel, and I just feel like a little bit of space from all of this — it’s gonna be healthier for all of us.

Phyllis: You know what? To be clear, though… it wasn’t just me, okay? It wasn’t just me. All the hostility and animosity, your mom was with me all the way, okay? And I had my doubts about her. I had my doubts and suspicions that she was hiding something. And it turns out I was right.

Kyle: We’re aware she left out pieces of information.

Phyllis: “Pieces of information.” Okay. That’s a sweet way to say it. Your safety and well-being is all I cared about. Okay? So, it’s all good. It’s all fine, okay? Um…so I don’t work with you anymore. And I understand. And I just got — whew — so tired of fighting and being the lone voice against diane. And I think it’s just best for all of us that, um, I’m not at marchetti anymore. So, um, I felt really good about that. I felt so good about this… until I walked in this room just now. Listen, I’m done settling. Because this is my secret.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Phyllis: Seeing diane here just now — that’s a punch to the gut. Neither of you have denied that you’ve been hiding her. I guess it’s hard now to look me in the eye when you were deceiving me, right?

Kyle: Okay, there’s no point in trying to figure out who told the most lies or who’s most at fault.

Phyllis: Yeah, I don’t want to do that.

Kyle: You came here with good intentions, so let’s just try to stay on that path.

Phyllis: Sure, let’s stay on that path. Okay. So, um, you’re both mad at me that I lured jeremy stark into town, right? He’s a criminal. He would have come looking for diane whether I got in touch with him or not. He wanted to know who ratted him out, and he would have found her. So, if diane really wanted to protect the family, she would have left and she would have stayed away. But she didn’t do that. She’s still playing the victim. She’s putting every single member of this family in danger, including harrison.

Summer: You don’t know the whole story, mom.

Phyllis: You know, I don’t know the whole story, and i don’t care. I know this is killing you, summer.

[ Voice breaking ] I know you, and I know this is killing you. We didn’t spend christmas together.

Summer: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: I didn’t even hear from you. I didn’t get to see harrison open any of the gifts that i got him. You said you were having an abbott family christmas, and i believed you. Were you with diane? Wow. I mean, your brother’s here. You haven’t seen him in, like, forever. We didn’t spend any time together, the three of us. I get it. Listen, I don’t want to go on and on about this. I understand what’s going on. Diane is calling the shots, and you’re both allowing her.

Jack: Wow, you are something. All this talk about changing, and you’re taking off with this criminal?

Diane: It’s what’s best for everyone.

Jack: Is he forcing you to do this? Did — did you threaten her?

Diane: No one’s forcing me to do anything. This was my decision.

Jack: If you think you’re gonna pick up where you left off with this man after taking his money, you are a fool.

Jeremy: Hey, hey, hey. Now, that’s enough. You heard her. She’s no longer your concern.

Jack: Okay, fine. I will go. If anything you do harms any member of my family, there will be hell to pay!

Jeremy: Are you threatening her?

Jack: Fine. I’m done. I wash my hands of you. That’s your problem now. And you stay away from my son and my grandson. You hear me?

Nick: I don’t want to fight with you either, dad. I hate it. There’s no reason to let this situation linger. There is a very simple solution to end it.

Victor: What’s that?

Nick: Just let me live my life. Stay out of my personal relationships. If I’m gonna make a mistake, then let me make it. There are gonna be things and people that we just don’t agree on. It’s inevitable. But if we accept it and move on, things will be a lot better for us.

Victor: Well, my boy, you don’t expect me not to care about you or victoria or adam or abby. I’m your father, and because I’m your father, I can’t stop caring about you. You understand that, don’t you?

Sally: I mean, the test is gonna be negative, right? And then we’re just gonna laugh about how I got worked up over nothing.

Chloe: It might happen like that.

Sally: Okay. That did not sound very convincing. Do you think it’s gonna be positive? What am I gonna do then?

Chloe: Those are all really good questions, but I think the most important question is, who is the father, adam or nick?

Sally: I really cannot think about that right now.

Chloe: Okay, well, this level of anxiety is really not good for you. So you need to just calm down.

Sally: Okay, well, you’re the one who asked me who the father was.

Chloe: Okay. I was just trying to prepare you, not freak you out.

Sally: I am freaked out, chloe, okay? The uncertainty of it all.

Chloe: Well, there’s only one way to fix it. And it’s time.

Sally: [ Breathes deeply ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Door opens ]

Chloe: Sally? What is it? – Bedtime!! – Bedtime.

Tessa: We are still hopeful.

Mariah: We’re just trying to keep our hopes in check because we’ve had the rug pulled out from under us before.

Tessa: So, we are up for anything, and we are gonna keep trying no matter what.

Mariah: I mean, the sonogram that delphine sent us — it made a huge impact because, you know, the baby isn’t just a concept anymore. She’s real, and she’s beautiful.

Tessa: Yeah. It’s hard not to take it as a good sign.

Sharon: Well, I’m here to do whatever I can. I’d like to help.

Nick: Good morning. Happy new year.

Sharon: Hey!

Tessa: Oh, hello!

Sharon: Are you meeting someone?

Nick: No. Just solo.

Sharon: Okay. Well, why don’t you sit with us?

Nick: Well, you are three of my favorite people, but I don’t want to intrude.

Mariah: Nick, sit.

Nick: Wow. You are getting bossy.

Tessa: Oh, no, she’s always been bossy. What?

[ Laughter ]

Sharon: So, how’s 2023 treating you so far?

Nick: Good. Um, I think sally’s feeling better, so I’m probably gonna see her later. And I just had a conversation with my dad that wasn’t combative.

Sharon: [ Gasps ]

Mariah: Wow. Imagine that.

Nick: Right? As far as I’m concerned, we’re off to a great start.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Wrong building?

Victor: [ Chuckles ] Right.

Adam: You know, if you’re looking for ashley, she might be down in the lab.

Victor: No, son, I’m looking for you.

Adam: What do you want?

Victor: I want to talk to you about connor.

Adam: Okay.

Victor: I know you don’t want the boy to live at the ranch full time, but I hope that you grant me and nikki a lot of visits with the boy.

Adam: Mm-hmm. I see.

Victor: You know he loves it at the ranch. You know that, don’t you?

Adam: I know. I know his grandparents are an important part of his life, so I’ll talk to chelsea. We’ll work out a schedule.

Victor: Ah.

Adam: I’ll handle it, so you don’t need to bother her.

Victor: You seem rather protective of chelsea.

Adam: I’m just looking out for her.

Victor: Are you trying to rekindle your relationship with her now that you and sally spectra are no longer an item?

Diane: I wasn’t prepared for a scene with jack like that. He’s normally so buttoned up and composed.

Jeremy: He was emotionally invested. It was inevitable.

Diane: You’re probably right. Better to get it out of the way now.

Jeremy: It was all very convincing.

Diane: What do you mean?

Jeremy: You. You were so passionate, determined to be with me.

Diane: Because I am.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] It was one hell of a performance.

Diane: What are you saying?

Jeremy: I’m gonna need more solid proof that you’re on my side.

Diane: I’ve already told you how I feel. What more can I do for you?

Jeremy: I’m just gonna put you to the test.

Summer: Mom, wait. Please don’t go. Let’s just try to figure this out. I love you so much.

Phyllis: Hey, listen, babe. I love you. I love you. That’ll never change, okay? That’s why this kills me, okay?

[ Door closes ] Look at this — the icing on the cake.

[ Scoffs ] You’re gonna regret this. I guarantee it.

[ Door closes ]

Jack: Summer, are you alright? What did we interrupt?

Summer: Jack, you know my mom and I are having some difficulties right now. We’re just not seeing eye to eye. I don’t want to talk about it.

Kyle: I think we would rather hear about how things went on your end.

Jack: I guess it went alright.

Diane: Yeah, he bought it, which is what we were hoping. And he wants to give me a loyalty test.

Kyle: What test?

Diane: I don’t know. But this is phase two of our plan, and we can use this to turn the tables on him.

Adam: It’s 100% none of your business, but chelsea and I are not getting back together.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Adam: And I would never use her as some sort of consolation prize because sally and I are over. I get it.

Victor: You get what?

Adam: Why you’re so concerned with my personal life. Now that nicholas is with sally, I’m sure you wish we never broke up. Hell, you might even have been supportive of our relationship if you had known she was gonna be with the golden boy.

Victor: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: It’s funny how one’s perspective can change so quickly.

Victor: I primarily came here because I wanted to ask you to make sure that nikki and I can continue seeing connor every so often, okay?

Adam: Mm.

Victor: But having said that, I got to be honest with you. I truly wish that both of my boys — you and nicholas — had been involved with someone other than sally spectra. You have a nice day.

[ Door opens ]

Nick: I know it’s gonna happen for you eventually. It may not happen this time, but it will happen. I promise. And I know the two of you are just gonna be the best mothers ever.

Mariah: Thank you. And I’m sorry for being so bossy earlier.

Nick: Oh, no, it’s all good. It’s one of the reasons why i think you’re gonna be such a great mom.

Tessa: [ Laughs ]

[ Cellphone vibrates ]

Mariah: It’s delphine.

Tessa: Hmm? Okay, well, we’re prepared for anything, remember?

Mariah: Okay. Um… she says she’s sorry about not texting sooner. She wants to meet tomorrow.

Tessa: Okay, well, tell her that we’ll book the plane tickets, like, right now.

[ Both laugh ]

Mariah: I know that she hasn’t said yes yet, but this is the farthest that we have gotten. And it just — it means so much. This could be our baby.

[ Both laugh ]

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Chloe: Sally, what does the test say?

Sally: A — a plus sign. It says I’m pregnant.

Chloe: Wow. Um… that’s huge. I like how you’re remaining so calm, but when you’re ready, if you want to talk…

Sally: Uh, it’s — it’s okay. You can go. I’m — I’m alright.

Chloe: You don’t want to deal with this?

Sally: I mean, there’s nothing to deal with. You know, my cycle’s unpredictable. I’m not — I’m not even really that late, and… I mean, this could be a false positive. The test isn’t reliable.

Chloe: It seems like you’re in denial.

Sally: No. No, that’s not what’s happening. Before, I was overreacting, and now I’m fine. Really. We — we have a lot of work to do, and — and I would really appreciate it if I could just have some time to refocus and get my head together.

[ Sighs ]

Chloe: Are you sure you want to be alone?

Sally: [ Sighs ] I’m okay. Thank you, chloe. I owe you.

[ Sighs ]

[ Exhales heavily ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Steffy: Oh, my god. Oh, my god, this is insane. Your arm, it’s around sheila. You’re acting like this is the most normal thing in the world.

Bill: Do as I say and things will be normal again. You and finn will have your lives back. Taylor will maintain her freedom, and sheila and i will go on with our lives, together.

Sheila: I know what a shock this must be to you, sweetheart, to find out about the two of us like this.

Finn: How did you two even get together?

Sheila: Some– sometimes love just finds its way.

Steffy: Oh, my god, enough of this. I am not hearing this anymore. You! You are horrible. Despicable. What kind of number has she done on you, bill? We’re not letting her get away scot free.

Bill: That’s exactly what you’re going to do.

Steffy: Excuse me?

Bill: No one is pressing charges against sheila. Unless you want your mother going to jail too.

Steffy: You’re blackmailing me? Threatening my mother’s freedom?

Liam: Okay. If this wig belongs to sheila carter like we think.

Wyatt: And this earring. And what was she doing in dad’s house? And how the hell did she even get in here? I mean, there’s a guard at the front gate, 24/7. There’s the additional security driving around.

Liam: Also, she’s totally psycho, so what on earth does she want with our father?

Wyatt: I don’t know. But he could be kidnapped right now. Or even worse, he could be dead. We need to call the cops.

Liam: Okay, well, hold on. We don’t– we don’t know anything yet. Can we just– can we just, like, search around and see if we find anything that gives us a clue what– what’s going on–

Wyatt: What are you talking about? We both know that dad has not been in a good place.

Liam: Okay. Can we maybe not go here right now? Just once, I’m just– fine.

Wyatt: What if we’re right and he’s at that whack job’s mercy right now?

Liam: Just look around. Look around. I’m going to talk to tony at the front gate, find out what he knows.

Wyatt: Fine.

Liam: Fine.

Wyatt: Fine.

Liam: All right, thank you. Anything?

Wyatt: Dad’s car is gone.

Liam: Yeah, I know, tony at the gate confirmed.

Wyatt: Well, did he say anything else? Was he with anyone? A woman?

Liam: No, he couldn’t say because it’s dad and, you know, dad and his tinted windows. Oh, get this, though. When I asked him about the security footage, he said the whole system was down because of the storm and the backup.

Wyatt: No, no, no. I don’t like this. I don’t like this at all. No, we called the office. We called dad. We left messages. Something is not right here. More and more, my gut is telling me that–

Liam: Wherever dad is, sheila is.

Sheila: Steffy, would you please just listen? Just do as he says.

Steffy: Shut up! Shut up! I don’t want to hear another word from you. You’ve done enough damage.

Bill: Something she has paid for repeatedly by being ostracized by everyone.

Steffy: Bill, listen to me. You can’t defend sheila. She is incapable of loving. She shot me. She is beyond dangerous. You know that. I know you wanted things to work out with brooke and with katie. It didn’T. And you felt alienated in other relationships. Relationships that were important to you. I get– I get how you’re hurt, but being involved with a sociopath, standing up for a woman who put a bullet in me, who put a bullet in her own son! She tried to kill li. I mean, li couldn’t even speak at first because she was so traumatized. Traumatized by sheila. You need to wake up. Sheila is a threat to anyone who gets close to her. You are going to prison. Oh, you thought– you thought you could latch on to another man, a very powerful man. And you thought it’d make everything all right. Bill, tell her. Tell her she’s wrong. Tell me you’re not standing up for her. Tell sheila this is the end of the road.

Steffy: Bill, she’s using you.

Bill: You’re not understanding what sheila has come to mean to me.

Steffy: Oh, she’s really gotten to you, hasn’t she?

Bill: We’ve been living together. I’ve seen a side of sheila that few ever do.

Steffy: Do you hear yourself right now? Do you even know what you’re saying?

Bill: I know that everyone has turned their backs on sheila as they have me. She’s been abandoned. So have I. Not that I didn’t give the people in my life good reason. I drove them away because I hurt them, but as I said, in sheila, I have found a woman that I can’t hurt.

Finn: What about the pain she will cause you? Bill, the damage she’s already doing.

Sheila: Bill and I are like two sides of the same coin. We understand one another. We know each other’s needs and desires. And I accept him as he is. Just as he accepts me for who I am.

Steffy: Who she is will wind up destroying you, bill. She will do to your life what she’s done to so many others. How many times do you need to hear that before you wake up?

Bill: The terms of my deal remain the same. Sheila’s freedom for taylor’s freedom. And one more thing. Not a word about my involvement with sheila to anyone. This remains strictly between the four of us. No one else. Let’s go home, sheila.

Steffy: Bill. Bill! Bill, don’t– don’t you do this! No, don’t you do this! Bill!

Baker: Sheila carter’s in your father’s house?

Liam: Well, we’re certain that she was. She’s not now.

Wyatt: Yeah and neither is our dad.

Liam: But we’re worried, you know. Like, what if she kidnapped him?

Wyatt: Or worse.

Baker: What about bill’s private jet? Any activity in the last few hours?

Wyatt: Oh, my god, we hadn’t even thought about that. No, you wait, you think she’s going to try and leave the country and maybe force dad to make that happen?

Baker: Anything’s possible, especially when you’re as desperate as sheila is. That’s why I want you both to leave the premises immediately. My men and i will handle this. Your father will be found, and with any luck, sheila will be in custody tonight.

Steffy: I can’t believe bill. He’s– he’s lost his mind.

Finn: I mean, did he really say that he and sheila have been living together?

Steffy: Yes.

Finn: I don’t get it. Why would sheila turn to bill when he outed her to the police before? I mean, you’d think that she would be livid, want revenge. But instead, they’re involved.

Steffy: It’s crazy. Somehow, sheila ends up making the impossible possible.

Finn: I still need to hear how it happened.

Steffy: About sheila and bill, I don’t want to talk about it.

Finn: No, about bill and your mother. Why did taylor shoot him?

Finn: Bill’s blackmailing us. Your mother shot him. Why steffy? I need to know.

Steffy: It happened while I was married to liam. We were going through some things and so were bill and– and liam and I– I tried my best to repair their relationship. Bill was really grateful and then I found out that liam kissed another woman and I was just so– I was so hurt. I felt betrayed. I went to my grandfather’s guesthouse and I was just so angry and emotional and… then bill showed up and, um…

Finn: And what?

Steffy: I hate that it happened.

Finn: You and bill.

Steffy: It never should’ve happened. But my mom thought that he, um, that he took advantage of me and that’s why she shot him.

Bill: Want a fire?

Sheila: No thanks. The bourbon will warm me up. You know, this– this place has been a sanctuary to me, really a port in the storm. I– I– I don’t know how I’m ever going to adequately be able to thank you for all that you’ve done.

Bill: Works both ways. Being here with you. Someone who understands me. A woman who truly understands me. Who would’ve thought?

Sheila: Yeah, but you know what? It goes both ways. A man that truly cares for me. A man who was willing to risk so much for me. You know, you say that you’ve hurt so many people over the years and that you could never do that to me, and that might be true. I– I can’t even imagine a scenario where anything like that would happen. Let alone me doing something to hurt you, after all the kindness you’ve shown me.

Bill: I think it’s time. It’s going to be a rough road for a bit, but in the end, you’ll have your freedom. Are you ready?

Sheila: Yeah.

Bill: This is bill spencer. Sheila carter is in my home. Hurry, she’s got to be apprehended. Hurry!

After advil.

Steffy: I never told you what happened with bill because it was one moment of weakness that I’ll always regret. But my mom is– she was wrong. Bill never took advantage of me, not like that.

Finn: So, it was consensual?

Steffy: Yes. If I’d been in a better frame of mind, if I wasn’t so upset, it… it never would’ve happened.

Finn: Yeah, but he played on your emotions.

Steffy: It was a long time ago, finn. A different lifetime. What happened is my past and what matters now is our future. We have each other and our family. That’s what’s important to me. I know learning this must be a shock to you, but I wasn’t purposely trying to keep it from you. I just never think about it. I never want us to think about it. Please don’t be upset with me.

Finn: No, I’m not upset with you. But bill should’ve known better because any halfway decent man would never have.

Steffy: I– I– I…

Finn: You’re my wife.

Steffy: I get it. I know. And I know you want to throttle bill for what happened. I get it. I know you love me and you care about me. And you feel like you need to protect me. I understand that. But I just want to make sure what happened with bill, it doesn’t– it doesn’t eat away at you or our marriage.

Finn: It won’T. I mean, I won’t let it. Thank you for opening up to me and telling the truth. I know it’s probably hard to talk about but, uh… god, it’s just bill, man. You know, the things that he does.

Steffy: Can we just focus on bill’s latest blackmail?

Finn: It’s unbelievable. Steffy, sheila can’t get away with this. We have to call the police.

Steffy: Believe me, I want that too. I want sheila in jail just as much as you, but there’s so much at stake. My mother’s future is at stake. I mean, the thought of her behind bars for years for shooting bill. She thought bill took advantage of me and she acted irrationally. She was a different person back then. But if bill goes through with this, I mean, I love my mom so much, the thought of gambling with her freedom. I just… I can’t do that. I can’t do that to my mother, finn.

Bill: Now, let’s go over this one more time just to make sure we are absolutely clear. I’m going to tell them that you showed up here desperately pleading your case. I shut you down and called the cops. That’s our story. Now, you’re going to be in jail for a bit, that’s a necessary step. I will then do everything in my power to get you out. And you will be a free woman again. And we can be together.

Sheila: You don’t know how much I’m counting on that. Oh, just get me out soon. I love you so much, bill. And don’t forget what this represents to you. The power. You take no prisoners. You win at all costs. I’m yours for life.

Baker: Nobody move! Stay right where you are!

Bill: Oh, thank god, you’re here. She– she showed up begging for help. I told her she was nuts and called you guys.

Sheila: Don’t do this. Don’t turn me in. Don’t–

Bill: Come on, take her.

Sheila: Stop!

Officer: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be provided for you.

Baker: Let’s go, sheila. This time, it really is over.

We apologize for the quality of the transcripts and for the fact that they’ll often be late. This is because it’s much harder and takes more time for us to get them from Peacock, and they’re not formatted very well. We do the best we can!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Applause ] Don’t worry, gal pal. We all know how much you hate the birthday song. But there is one tradition we must insist on. Mm-hmm. Make a wish.Make a wish. Ohh. Okay. Ohh.

[ Laughs ] Okay. We should go in. People will wonder why we’re not there. That is the point. To make people wonder about us so that word gets back to esme. Did he wake up? Oh, no. He’s completely zonked out. Poor guy. He was so determined to make it to midnight. Well, he got to see midnight… in london. Which was genius on your part. But wiley really wanted to stay up and ring in the new year here in port charles. Well, there’s always next year. Why did you want to come here for dessert instead of staying at the restaurant? Because nothing on their menu looked as good to me as an ice cream sundae. And I hope that doesn’t disappoint you. Nothing with you ever disappoints me. I’m just glad it’s just the two of us. Yeah. I’m really sorry to make you wait out here. I just need some privacy to talk to cam. Take as long as you need. Thanks. What, are you trying to match me?

[ Laughs ] Hi. Hey. Happy new year. Happy new year. What brings you to kelly’s on new year’s eve? I’m not just worried about you. I’m worried about spencer. If you know something, you should tell me. I can’T. Why? Has victor threatened you? Listen, no one is at risk if we play his game. But if you insist on taking victor down, I will go down with him. Leave him alone, or you will lose your son. I’m not going to let him do this to you. He can’t take you away from me. Don’t be so sure. Are you saying that you have fallen so far that victor is your only way back? One day you’ll go to school, ace, and I’ll teach you about the fire triangle. The three things you need to start a fire. Oxygen, fuel, and heat.

[ Sighs ] I wish — no, don’T. If you tell, your wish won’t come true. Forgive me. This is my first birthday party.

[ Laughter ] There’s still time, you know. Britt, you can stay here. Change your mind and stay.


I know you’re new to this, but the tradition is that you blow out all the candles. Hey. Here. Oh.

[ Laughter ]

[ Cheers and applause ] -Whoo! Happy birthday! Happy birthday. Dr. Westbourne, will you do the honor of performing surgery on your cake? I need the practice. For all those surgeries I’ll be picking up on your vacation. You ready? I’m going to do it. Aaah!

[ Cheers and applause ] Yummy. All right. Ooh. There we go. The birthday girl gets the first slice. Thank you. Besides cake, we have another special treat for the birthday girl. Mommy dearest, you’re on.

Mutter, you?

Ja, liebchen. This is a song I sang at the nurses’ ball, which brought the house down, if I do say so myself.

[ Cheers and applause ] Whoo! Elizabeth. Hey, I know this is none of my business. But I’m still a doctor, and I — I still care about you. You know that drinking this early in your pregnancy isn’t good for the baby. Finn, there is no baby. We should join the party. Hey, just a little longer. We want everyone to miss us, remember? Spencer… this is a very dangerous game. It’s not all a game. I-I came to talk to cam. Oh, joss, cameron’s not here. He’s filling in for one of the catering crew. Oh. Do you know when he’ll be back? Not till after midnight. Oh. Okay, well, I guess I’ll have to talk to him another time. Happy new year. Yeah, you too. Wait. Joss, wait. What’s — what’s the rush? You, uh — you want to join us? I’m the only one to blame for the errors in my judgment. And I won’t let you get involved. Oh, nikolas. You don’t understand. I am involved. It’s like I made it my life’s work to disappoint you. Oh, no. Don’t say that. Please don’t say that, nikolas. There is nothing you could ever do to make me stop loving you. The cassadines have been trying to take you away from me since the day you were born, and I am not going to let them win. Mother, I love you. For fighting for me, for whatever… bit of soul that I have left. But it’s not just about me. It’s a long shot. I may end up trapped instead of with a way to escape. But it is the only chance I’ve got. No. The only chance we’ve got. Brace yourself. It won’t be long now. You were wunderbar. -A real star. -Incredible. Bravo, mutter. I only wish there could be an encore. There will be if I have anything to say about it, hm? What do you mean there’s no baby? I had a miscarriage. You know, this may be britt’s first birthday party, but she did it right, didn’t she? Everyone’s enjoying themselves. Yeah, I don’t care. I just care that you’re — you’re enjoying it. Yeah. People must be asking about us by now. If they are, then good. We want it to get back to esme. Okay. We should — we should get back. Yeah.

[ Rattling ] What was that? I don’t know. The wind? Probably people at the party.


fine if you want to opena bottle of champagne. I won’t feel deprived.

[ Chuckles ] Don’t be so noble. I know you love champagne. I do, especially the kind you buy. And since we have a rack full of it, you should open one. Sit here and what, guzzle champagne while you go without? No. I am very happy with my sparkling cider. So am I. We can have champagne next year. I thought we were going to celebrate with wiley next year. Well, we can do both. Champagne for us and cider for wiley. Then maybe we can wake up the baby, and all four of us can ring in the new year together. Because nothing says “happy new year” like a screaming baby. Well, maybe our daughter will be a night owl, and she’ll like staying up at midnight. Then you can be the one to get her back to sleep. Okay. You have my solemn promise. Michael… what if I’m not here next year? I’m so sorry for your loss. Thanks. I wouldn’t blame you if you said this was poetic justice. I would never say that. You know, you and — you guys could try again. What happened with nikolas was never going to last. Ava knows, but I never told the boys. Not that you owe me anything, but — they won’t hear it from me. No one will. Thank you. Happy new year. Elizabeth. You probably want to know what that was all about. And when you’re ready, you’ll tell me. Or not. Ohh. May I have your attention? You’re not going to sing, are you? Baldwin, please say you’re not. I couldn’t carry a tune if it had handles. So if there’s no more hecklers, let’s get on with this. We had great music. We had a great cake. And now there’s one thing missing, though. Presents?

[ Cheers and applause ] Thank you. So, you guys are super dressed up. Are you going somewhere fancy to watch the ball drop? Oh, we did fancy. Now we’re just enjoying sundaes. That’s a fun way to start the new year. Bet you guys are excited. Yeah, I’m excited for all the cool projects we’ve got planned. Projects? Yeah, our new year’s resolution is a do-it-yourself remodel of the den. That’s impressive. What about you? Any resolutions? To become a doctor. What? Yeah. Wow. Since when? Well, a lot of it has to do with when I found ava after she had been stabbed. And I just felt so helpless. I just didn’t know what to do to help her. And then I realized that I can learn what to do. So I decided to submit my application to switch my major to pre-med. Wow. That is amazing. You’re going to be an incredible doctor. Good for you for going through something terrible and finding a positive way to take action. Thank you. And, god, I hope the police find esme and locks her up and throws away the key. Yeah. Look, I want to catch the hook killer, too, but we don’t know that it’s esme for sure. And we both know what happens when we jump to conclusions, right? What am I missing? Well, for a while there, sony thought that dex was behind the killings. Right, joss? I should have never come back to port charles. I would have done everyone a favor if I just — I stayed dead. No, don’t say that. Don’t you ever say that. Nikolas, I was heartbroken when I thought that I had lost you. And spencer, that’s when he began to spiral. And actually, I don’t think he ever really recovered from it. We need you to fight for yourself and to fight for us. You know, if you give in to victor now, he will never let go, honey. What if it’s too late? It’s not. It is not too late. I will back you up with every possible resource I can muster. Everything, I promise you. Look, if you could have a clean slate, wipe it clean and start over, would you do it? Is it possible? Yes, it is possible. It is never too late. It can start tonight. All you have to do is decide — do you belong to victor or do you belong to yourself? Trina: I hope joss and cam join us before midnight. Spencer: Yeah. They will if he can get off work on time. Spencer, trina, what are — what are you guys doing out here? You’re missing all the fun. There’s cake and birthday presents. We were just getting a breath of fresh air. In the cold. We didn’t realize how long we were out here. Yeah. It didn’t feel that cold to me. Shall we? Something to remember our first christmas by.


The party’s going very well. I hope britta’s happy. Yes, yes. Okay, everyone. After a slight delay to round up some stragglers, it’s time to get back to the business at hand. Britt, some of your nearest and dearest worked together to give you a very special birthday present. Happy birthday, britta. Thank you, mutter. Thank you, everyone. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] A remote control.

[ Laughter ] Bring it in, boys. All: Ooh.

[ Indistinct conversations ] Do you have any idea what’s going on? Just watch. I don’t know what this is. Lights, camera, action! Hit play. Britta westbourne, this is your life. We’re so prepared

[ Laughter ]

Our practice done all the work we put in now the time has come standing tall, shoulders back there’s nothing you need or lack a tiny voice says, “I am here to win” make the score, do the deal bets are down, spin the wheel there’s no doubt I am here I am here to win the planets shift the earth will move we waited long for this moment there’s so much to prove we have belief like no one else every night we prayed to the heavens just to be ourselves standing tall, shoulders back there’s nothing you need or lack a tiny voice says, “I am here to win” make the score, do the deal bets are down, spin the wheel there’s no doubt I am here to win mistakes were made along the way if we don’t ever fail can’t learn to fight another day standing tall, shoulders back there’s nothing you need or lack a tiny voice says, “I am here to win” make the score, do the deal bets are down, spin the wheel there’s no doubt I am here to win if you’re asking about what sonny did to dex, then you already know the answer. Well, michael made some pretty serious allegations, which dex denied. Lucky you. How’s dante lucky? Well, because he doesn’t have to arrest his own father. You know, michael was really worried about that, you know. He didn’t want you stuck in the middle. Even though you are. Sonny put you there, and he keeps putting you there. Well, all I can say is that sonny has been who he’s been long before I came to town. There you go, making excuses. Is that what I’m doing? Don’t ask. You don’t want to know. No, no, no. I do want to know. I’m asking. I’m asking. Look, look, I can’t tell you how to feel. All I can tell you is how I feel. And I feel that sonny’s a fraud. All of that talk about honor and loyalty, they’re just words. He doesn’t live it. You do, dante. You’re a good cop. You put your life out on the line to protect and to serve. And sonny just sits back and he lets other people put their lives out on the line. To what? To make him richer? And then when he almost kills someone, he expects them to lie and to cover for him. And yeah, now he’s protecting me. But what? I’m supposed to feel grateful? It’s not happening. …Am here to win

[ Applause ] Speech. Speech! Thank you. Thank you, everyone. That — that was… fantastic? Terrific? One of the nicest things anyone’s ever done for me. Aww. I did prepare a speech, but being here now and seeing all your faces, the faces I love, I just want you to know how much, how very, very much… blame austin. The photos were his idea. Yeah. And, you know, in case you don’t want to haul a huge monitor around with you everywhere you go, we got you this cute little digital frame. You can just kind of throw it in your purse. Yeah. Brad, liesl, and I, we have the password so we can upload photos. That way, we can be with you. On your vacation or wherever you go. Thank you. Yeah. Happy new year, mother. I don’t think it’s midnight yet. You still have time to make a new year’s resolution. I promise I’m going to think about what you said. And if there is a way to disentangle myself from victor — we can manage on our own. Throw victor out. Throw him out. Change the locks. And then you stand back and you dare him to do his worst. Because you are not just a cassadine. You are my son. And you are spencer’s father. And as long as we stick together, we’re going to be just fine. I love you. I love you. So much. Okay, ace, no matter what happens, no matter how scary it gets, just remember that I… that mommy is with you. Womb to tomb. Why are you taking me away from the party and out here? I will get you back before the ball drops. Will you get me back before I freeze to death? You warm now? Mm. Yeah. Okay. I’m getting there. Remember last new year’s eve? Yeah, I do. When you were at charlie’S. Yeah. It was a tough point in my life. Dante grabbed my keys, wouldn’t let me go home, and then… you came along. Yeah. Right? Yeah. I took you home. Thought that would be the end of us. You know, that you would sober up the next day and you’d go back to carly. Here we are a year later. Mm-hmm. Are you sorry how it ended? Are you kidding? Who said it was ending? It’s only just begun. Kiss me.

[ Sighs ]

[ Smoke alarm beeping ] Maybe this wasn’t such a brilliant plan after all.


Happy birthday to you oh, thank you, handsome. Thanks for coming. Yeah. I wouldn’t miss this for the world. Where’s your plus one? Trina, come here. There’s someone who I’d like you to meet. Come say hi. Happy birthday, britt. I was telling trina how much you mean to me and how alike we are. Oh, god, I hope not. If you’re truly spencer’s friend, make sure he does not turn out like me. I’d be very proud to be exactly like you. All I seem to do is cry. He’s the best. Okay, you two. Break it up. Last dance. What? Before the old year ends. Come on. Let’s show them how it’s done. What did britt say to you over my shoulder? I’ll never tell. I’m sorry. I did not mean to go off like that. Not the best way to ring in the new year. Oh, dante started it. I kind of did, actually. All I’m trying to say is that I think you’re awesome. And I’m just sorry that you’re stuck in this position. Okay, first of all, thank you, but I’m okay, all right? Don’t feel sorry for me. I’m a lucky guy for many reasons. And don’t you forget it. Can I make an observation? Please. I have it coming. I think you’re smart and strong. Especially for realizing that you want to become a doctor. Focus on that. Being hung up on sonny, that is — it’s a waste. You have better things to do with your time. Thank you, sam. I will try to remember that. Hey, speaking of time, it’s almost midnight, and times square may have the crowds, but port charles has the fireworks. There’s a pretty good view outside of kelly’S. Why don’t you stay and watch them with us? You’re so sweet. Thank you for the invitation, but I’m going to try to make britt’s birthday party. Oh. Yeah. Happy new year. Happy new year, doctor-to-be. Happy new year. Happy new year, joss. Thank you, guys. Bye. Hey. So I’m going to head home and change, and then I’m going to head over to the party at the haunted star. Sonny will be there. You don’t have to worry. Sorry. For what? We were having such a nice time, and I… I was going to say killed the mood, but that just sounds morbid. Well, then, be morbid. Scared or angry. Look, willow, you don’t have to put up a front for me. I mean, wiley’s different. He’s a child, and he has to feel secure, so you have to pretend with him, but you don’t have to pretend with me. I’m not pretending. That’s the crazy part. As scared as I am that I’m going to die, this is the happiest time of my life. I love you, michael. I love wiley. I love our daughter. I love where we live with your squabbling relatives right up the driveway. There was a time, a long time, when I was alone. And now my life is so rich and so full. Beyond anything I could have ever imagined. And most of it came from you. Well, I think I got the better half of that bargain. What are you talking about? Come here. You… you changed my life, willow. Yeah, it wasn’t — it wasn’t a bad life before. I’ve been blessed with a lot. I’m lucky. And I know that. But… but with you, there’s a connection I have never felt with anyone. You know, the love, the trust, the compatibility.

[ Chuckles ] Compatibility? I know, it sounds totally unromantic, but… not to me. I feel compatible with you, too. Hold that thought.

[ Smoke alarm beeping ] Esme! Esme! Esme! Esme! You can’t get far!


Hey. Remember this? Your great-grandmother’s ring. Well, to me, it’s your ring. It has been ever since you accepted it the first time. I gave it back when we had our marriage annulled. Yeah. Yeah. I hated signing those papers. So did I.

[ Sighs ] Look, it’s a family heirloom, and I could have put it back with my great-grandmother’s jewelry, but I held on to it, hoping that you would accept it again. But this time forever. Willow tait, will you marry me?

[ Coughing ] Okay. Ace, let, uh… mommy catch her breath.

[ Panting ] And then we’re out of here.

[ Coughing ]

[ Door closes ] Hey. Nice up there, huh? Yeah. It’s beautiful. Yeah, we thought so, too. Okay, party people, it’s that time! Out with the old year and in with the new. So chill the champagne, grab someone you love, or at least you don’t hate, and get ready for the countdown! Whoo! You took your best shot, esme, but the fire’s out, and there’s only one way to go, which is down. Or did you forget what happened last time? I haven’t forgotten. Esme. Oh, hey, hey. I know you care about that baby. Okay, once we get to cassadine island, you can have whatever you need or want until the baby’s born, I promise you. Just take my hand. Esme, take my hand. Just take my hand.


Hey, where are you going? The — the emcee said you should be with someone you love. So, um… I’m going to go home and bring in the new year with my daughter. Happy new year. Yeah, happy new year. Aww. Ohh. Thank you. What, for the gift? You already said thank you. Don’t worry about it. No, that’s what you gave me. But by being quiet about where I’m going, you’ve given everyone that I love something to remember me by. All right, beautiful people. Here we go! Ready? Together: 10, 9, 8… yes, michael. Yes, with all my heart. I’ll marry you. Here. For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness, and in health. As long as we both shall live. …7, 6… should I have driven josslyn home? Oh, she had sonny’s bodyguard. Right. Besides, she’s probably having fun at the party right now. Right. Truth? Yeah. Of course. I didn’t wanna share you with anyone tonight. …5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Happy new year!

[ Noisemakers blowing ]

And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot and the days of auld lang syne? Happy new year, trina. Happy new year, spencer. Happy new year, my friend. It’s going to be a better year for you next year, I promise. It has to be. For you as well. I’ll drink to that. Maxie: Hey. Have you seen britt? She’s missing the best part of the party. Yeah. And say what you want about britt, that woman knows how to make an exit. Happy new year. Happy new year. What are you doing? Get down from there! I’ve survived the drop once before, and I’ll do it again. No!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh yeah, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I, I can’t do this. It was you, you told Ralph to brainwash seven. You’re hallucinating that she must be, imagine you doing something underhanded. The question is, why would you do this to Stephan? It’s because, uh, it’s because. Kristen, why she was hoping, so did step Chloe. He would come between her and Brady.

She could have Brady alter herself. Oh my God. It’s because she wanted to break up you and Chloe. Ask a stupid question and your believer, you can’t claim it’s outta character. You know what I’ll admit, I was at Rolf’s lab when Stephan woke up, but uh, if Rolf did brainwash him, it wasn’t my idea. And whose was it?

Yes, that’s what she wanted. Wait, what does that mean? Kristen wanted to break up Brady and Chloe, but your fiance wanted to protect his investment with Lee, the . He knew everything. He knew all along. I had stuff on ice. I put the brainwashing . It was his idea,

Gabby. Oh my God. It was you. This was your idea. You did this.

I’m, I’m sorry. I’m really, really sorry. Don’t be, it wasn’t fair to you. Chloe, here’s a fun thing that we have in common. All right. Listen, you and I, we both just had our lives turned upside down, right? I’m not dead anymore, at least I don’t think so. And you’re not with Brady. We would be idiots. To expect ourselves to be rational or, or fair or in any way, shape, or form predictable.

I was never really rational to begin with. Still, what I mean is when you pulled back just a minute ago, that wasn’t a conscious choice, right? No. Okay, so then maybe both of us should just let it go. It doesn’t matter. There’s only one thing that matters to me right now. And What’s that?

Me? What are you talking about? Don’t lie to me anymore. Okay. I, I remember, I know Wolf admitted that this was all your.

So you’re right. Ste was brainwashed. That’s why he hated me because Ralph made him hate me. He admitted it, but that doesn’t make any sense. Why would he incriminate himself like that? Because I had a scalpel to his throat and he admitted that it was all your idea. Gabby, you’re mistaken. He had to say that to keep you from killing.

I could never do something like that to you. Please believe me. I could never betray you like that. No. No. Lee wouldn’t do that. Come now, do you think he’s too high minded? No, he wouldn’t do that to me. But he did do that to you. He wants you to himself. He did want to risk losing you to Stephan to the extent that he tried to murder him in his sleep.

What?

You didn’t just try to brainwash Stephan, you, you tried to kill him. What? Yes. Rolf admitted that too, that you tried to kill Stephan in his sleep. You tried to murder the man that I love.

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

man. He never learns. I know what’s wrong, but I understand why that coyote hates that. Mommy said he should get his explosives from another company. Yeah, she would know. Okay. Open your mouth. A bigger pardon? Let’s see if I can get this in your mouth. Take your best shot. Come on. That’s the wrong direction.

You’re in a good mood, Uhhuh. I still miss mommy and daddy, but now I know they’re getting back together. Why would you think that? Because they went to a party tonight, sweetheart. Just because your mommy and daddy are hanging out together doesn’t mean they’re gonna get back together. I don’t know that that’s what daddy says, but it’s New Year’s Eve, so So that means at midnight they’ll have to kiss.

And when Rolf wouldn’t let you kill him, you took over his mind and you knew I loved him and you lied to me over and over and over. They say the first five minutes are the hardest. You okay? You want to go home? Rolf told me what you tried to do to Stephan. He was just lying in that bed defenseless, Gabby, you can’t believe I do something like that.

It must be some kind of false memory. How could it be false? Because you told me yourself when you came back from seeing Wolf, you told me he told you that he, he hadn’t brainwashed stuff and then you believed him. Ra, you were there. She, that’s what she said, isn’t it? Yeah. And it seemed weird to me is why would anyone, especially Gabby ever believe anything that RAW says something?

I don’t know. Something happened, so. Must have because that didn’t happen. I didn’t try to murder Stephan, and if I really did, why didn’t you remember before now?

Okay. Okay. Look, I I can’t think about all of that right now. Right now, what is important is for you to, to take it back. Look brainwashing. Oh, funny you should say that as it happens, I’ve already created an antidote in that box. Wouldn’t it have been ironic in your fury you had destroyed it too?

And Stephan will be back to normal.

What you do?

What was that?

Because he injected me with something. What something that made me forget what you did to Stephan, but I remember now. I remember all of it.

I just wanna make sure that we can remain friends. Are you kidding? Of course. And Steph and I am, I’m so grateful to you for everything and for Pull this evening out of the fire . And I guess it’s gonna sound a bit odd in this moment, but I was really having a good time and I didn’t wanna spoil the evening.

Hey, you didn’t. All right. Look, maybe it was my fault. Maybe I came on too strong. You know, I’m not a fast No, uh, Uhuh. No. If I can’t be sorry, then you can’t either. A no fault kind of friendship then Sounds good to me.

And we’re supposed to be honest with each other, right? Yeah. Okay. Well then, um, this might sound a little bit strange also because it is strange, but, um, I was wondering if we could have that dessert now.

Woman after my own heart.

How could you do this to me? I, I trusted you. I believed you when you told me you love me. I married you for God’s sake. Kathy, let’s just go somewhere. We can talk. Don’t touch. Okay, fine. But we can’t talk about this here with all these people. Okay. Come on. We can work this out, please. I’m not going anywhere.

Neither are you. Miss Damira.

You got us three

here. I win. What again?

I owe you $342,000. Cleric. Hmm. Why are you here? What do you mean I’m babysitting you? Didn’t you wanna go to a party too? Wouldn’t you be more fun than playing Go fish here with me.

I know it sounds crazy, but you imagine you showing up with a shit devil on your altar and I kidnap the thing that she loves the most. Her daughter, she can’t fail. You know, it’s funny you should ask, I was gonna ask you if you’d like to join me on an a. What kind of adventure? Well, it’s kind of top secret.

What do you think you’re doing? My job, you know, this is ludicrous. She’s right. You were really gonna arrest us. Yeah. Based solely on the recovered, perhaps fabricated memory of clearly an unstable woman. I mean, come on, look at her dress. I mean, it alone proves I thought she’s not in her right mind. I’d be careful the way you talk to my sister and to me.

Well, I refuse. Your choice. Of course not whether you’re going to the station, but how

you want me to read you your rights or do you have them memorized from all your other Salem weddings?

Ra ra. Hey, come on. Is this really necessary? Oh, I think it’s best. We both do this by the book. You be okay? Yeah, I’ll be fine. Just get him out of my sight.

Uh, Brady. Sweetheart, are you coming for the water?

That was delicious. Hmm. And what do you say we get outta here? You mean back to Salem? No, I mean, let’s go out, get crazy. Stefan, you’re being really sweet, but you don’t have to pretend. I know that Chloe, I did not bring you to Miami to sleep with you. I brought you here to start the new year together.

There’s still a few hours left. Miami has some of the best nightclubs in the world, so what do you say? Let’s go dancing. Huh? Wait, you dance. I hope that’s not a rhetorical question. Science, you’re obviously dressed for it. You sure you wanna go? Absolut? But look, if you’d rather stay here, watch the ball drop.

I am more than okay with that. I just want to be with you. Shall we? We shall. Ah. Oh wait. We do not wanna waste this. All right. Okay. Hey, happy New Year. All right for you. Thank you. You’re welcome. And for me

to the new year, aren’t we supposed to wait till midnight to say that close enough? Besides new beginning, can’t come soon enough.

I don’t, please don’t try to tell me that I’m wrong about your brother. That I don’t know what I know I wasn’t going to, oh, oh, you probably don’t believe me actually. I do Really, I mean, I just, I I just said your brother tried to murder somebody. I, I’m, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. Your brother will sort that out.

You let me get you home. No, I need to find Stephan. I need, dude, do you still have my phone? Yeah.

Says here, Miami gets crazy on New Year’s Eve. You ready for crazy? I mean, I am from Salem, aren’t I? ? Touche. That place looks good,

so I can’t tell anybody. Not even. Well, we can tell her afterwards. It’s kind of like a surprise for her. Hey. Hey. Where are you? Mom’s place. Okay, good. You haven’t left yet. I’m listening about the plan. Hey, ready to calm down? Everything’s fine. We we’re about ready to go. Yeah. Listen, we need to put the brakes.

Hey, this is not the time we get cold feet. No. Listen. It’s not that there’s been an unexpected development. Kristen’s been arrested.

Brave. Don’t you think you should be seeing about Gabby instead of throwing your weight around? She’s falling apart. Oh, she’s not falling apart. She upset. Oh yeah. Hell yeah. Because the man she just married tried to play God with her life. Oh, so now you are the cop, the judge, and the jury. All right. I have been listening to you very closely, and you have not said one word about lawyers because there haven’t been any charges.

This is just a preliminary investigation, although there have been some very serious charges about both of you, so we need to do a follow up and as a means. To that end, you are gonna write down your entire history with Dr. Rolfe and everything that you have done to Stefan Dira. You too. Hmm. Well that will be a very short essay as I have done nothing but rejoice in his returned from the dead.

I concur with Mr. Mera. Let along bet you do well. I don’t need to concur with Mr. Shin. I need to confer with my lawyer and I know technically you don’t have to read me my rights, but I do have the right to demand legal representation. As do I sweetheart. Is there any way a girl can get a drink around here?

Ready? Yeah. Thank you. Let’s go.

Anything voicemail. Uh, Stefan, it’s Gabby. Call me. It’s urgent. I swear to,

well, now the Gabby’s remembered. It’s only a matter of time. False. Stephan learns the truth. Yeah, I don’t see Gabby keeping this to herself

from what she was saying. Ralph told her about Lee and Kristin. She doesn’t seem to know that then she knew everything. That’s right. I’ve given everything that’s crashing down on her. I don’t think there’s any need for her to find that out. Of course, we just wanna do what’s best for Gabby. Don’t me. I mean, that’s why you want me to keep quiet for Gabby obvious.

Obviously I don’t want anyone to know, especially Stephan, but if you think it’s necessary, all that’s up to you. My fate, as they say, is in your hands. I bet you hate that quite a bit.

Wendy’s brother is the one who started all this. I, I don’t see a reason for you to be arrested to Thank you.

I can’t just stand around waiting. I, I have to find Stephan. I’ll take you to the mansion. No, he’s not there. He went to Miami with Chloe. Wait, Nicole, you’re friends with Chloe. Did she tell you where she was staying?

She’s at the Fountain Head Hotel. Only remember, cuz she sent me pictures. Thank you. I just, I have to go to the airport. We’ll, we’ll drive you. We’ll drive. Okay. I have to call son. Um, Hey listen, I’m on the way to the airport. I’m gonna be in Miami.

Chloe is gonna have one heck of a new.

You know, tonight it just goes to show that in Salem making it through the vows does not mean you are home free. You seem to be taking this since tried disastrous weddings apart for the course in this town. I am mean. You don’t seem very taken aback that Lee had. Your brother brainwashed. When one’s father is turned into a computer chip one develops a certain level of Imperturbability.

That’s hard to say. Yeah. Anyway, police are handling it. What else can I do? Fire Lee. He had your brother brainwashed after he didn’t succeed in killing him according to Gabby. Anyway, the question is moot. His father is chairman of the board. This is your family’s company, and Lee tried to murder a member of that family.

I don’t think it’s a hard sell to send and packing. It’s not that simple. Aren’t you angry? Don’t you wanna take him? As I said, it’s not that simple. Why not?

Unless it’s because he could take you down with him.

Kristen has chance lawyering with them? Not yet. Really. I know it’s a holiday, but I figured with their money in history, they’d have hot and cold running. They do. I haven’t let ’em call ’em. Really? They clearly said they wanted representation. I know, but can’t always get what you want.

How long are they gonna keep us waiting? Just relax. Would you? I mean, grave is gonna keep us here as long as possible, but he knows he needs to let us call our lawyers. You think he’s gonna keep us here all night? Yeah, probably. Hey, you do understand that uh, he’s gonna play hardball. You are wrong. His sister, I love his.

Damn it. I, I, I have to get outta here. I have to get to Gabby

The third is, fuck,

you’re shivering. Must be freezing. We’re in such a hurry. I didn’t even have a chance to put it on. Gabby made her flight. Yeah, with, uh, seconds to spare, there was no stopping her. What the hell’s gonna happen when she gets there?

Step open up. Look, I know you’re in there and I know you’re with Chloe, but we have to talk

one way or another. I

Why would you say that? Because you’re just like your father. And nothing goes on in this family, whether it be business or personal that you don’t know about. So when you went over to Johnny after Gabby made her big announcement, you weren’t talking about the canopies.

You know me so well. Mm-hmm. . So what’d you do? Did you hold down Stephan while Ralph went to work? I didn’t do anything. I had no idea what Lee was up to until after the fact, but I, I chose to keep quiet after what Lee did to your brother. You chose to keep quiet. Why? Well, I didn’t know until tonight that Lee tried to kill him and they had already, um, redirected Stephan’s affections from Gabby to Chloe, so it was a moot.

And I wanted Stephan on my side, so I would have enough votes to ask Gabby from Damira.

You probably think I’m a terrible person now, don’t you?

Sorry. Take, uh, take your time. Okay. You. Got a lot to process.

Well, this time feeling horrible about not telling Tappy Whitley had done, but it all came out anyway. Yeah. Hey, at least we didn’t have to be the ones to say it.

You almost did, didn’t you? You were about to stop the whole. I was, because when I saw a Gabby standing there about to marry a man who was lied to her, manipulated her, I didn’t know if I could live with myself if I speak up. Then I saw my brother’s face and I realized how much he loves Gabby and I, I, I couldn’t go through with it.

I.

But just as I said, it all came out anyway even more than we knew.

Do you think it’s true? But we really did try to murder stuff. I don’t know. I don’t know.

Please God, don’t let a.

You know, winching when told the justice of the peace that she had something to say, thought it was all over then, but for some reason she changed her mind. Hmm. Probably realized what outing you would do to the Shin Dynasty Fortune Truth that would cost her Cold Hawk cash. You’re completely cynical, aren’t you?

Okay. She was protecting her big brother who she adores. Does that sound better to you? None of it matters. Since the fact that, uh, your little bride remembered her encounter with the man that you hired to dry clean her husband’s brain, it, it doesn’t make any sense. H h h how could her memory come back like that?

And, and why didn’t Ralph get what? Ralph kept calling. I couldn’t talk to him. Ra was there. I I, I, I had to hang up on him. Do you think he was trying to warn me? I mean, would it have made a difference? , come on, Lee Gabby’s memory came back and your brother-in-law is the police commissioner and he’s very fierce about his family.

I’m not sure this is a good idea. The only thing we have right now is what Gabby said she remembered. And the longer we hold them here without just cause and more likely we’ll have their attorney screaming false. Cause Paul Kings can go up and smoke. That’s right. It is. Mm-hmm. . We’re gonna have to let ’em go.

So why the delay? Well, think about it from their point of view. They’re in there thinking that we’re out here feverishly scrambling to get a. And when we let ’em go, they’re gonna think that we weren’t able to make the case that we backed down and the leave here with a false sense of purity. Yeah. Hmm.

Although, uh, as dramatic as it was, I wish Gabby hadn’t been so public with her accusations that Lee and Kristen still think that they had gotten away with everything. At least we’re able to nail down the warrant.

Well, I would say that they have been in there long enough. First thing, tomorrow morning, I start building a case against Mr. Lee Shin. Put him away for a very, very long time.

So what is going on? We’re letting them go. You and Miss America can still ring in the new year together. It’s enjoy.

Eric hates me. The plan’s back on

Okay. I gotta admit that is some of the most fun I’ve had in a really long time. Right. I agree. Mike, thank you for picking up the ride share, by the way. I can’t believe I forgot my, keep kidding me. Don’t worry about.

There’s something wrong

Message from Gabby

ej Aaron, wait. What you did doesn’t change my impression of you in any. I’ve always thought you were a terrible person.

Well, I think that I’m a terrible person too, so maybe that’s why we get along so well. We do, don’t we? You and I don’t have to maintain any illusions of anything at all. Yeah, . But we’re not really the same. In your very own perverse, opaque way, you’re actually a very decent person. None of my other ex-husbands would agree with you on that.

Well, none of your other ex-husbands deserved you. Aw. It’s your humility that melts my heart. EJ . So how long has Johnny known.

Are you cla vo ? Uh, well, I’m no genius, but as Gabby spilled the beans, you went straight to Johnny. No. Sounds like damage control to me. He knew that I knew. I asked him not to give me away and he promise not to say anything, but none of it matters anyway. It’s only a matter of time before Stephan finds out everything and not much time at that.

Since I told Gabby where he and Chloe are staying, I, oh, I’m so sorry.

Something funny . I was just thinking. Miami is going to see some real fireworks tonight.

I keep thinking fine. Not all of what Lee did couldn’t have kept a secret, but now

gwe, I I thought you were at the police station. They let me go. Do, do you know where Gabby is? I have to talk to her. You. Who took us to the airport? She went to Miami to find stuff. Why would Gabby be calling you don’t know. Don’t care. Probably a gloat about the wedding.

All right. It’s getting late. I’m gonna go downstairs, check about booking another room. You don’t have to do that, Chloe. Seriously, I, I don’t. No, I wanna stay. Really, really, I had a really amazing night with you, and I don’t want this night to end.

She went to Miami. I imagine she feels that s Stephan has a right to know what happened to. What do you to Tim? I, I, I don’t think we have anything to talk about Lee. And for the record, from now on, you’re on your own.

You were a busy girl in 2022 coming. When you actually decided to screw with Stephan’s head, your brother’s head, did that bother you at all? I did it to be with you and Rachel, and this is before I knew anything about the orchid, right? So Stephan was just, uh, collateral damage. You know, I’m afraid that you’re gonna have to be self-righteous alone.

I’m exhausted. I’m gonna go give Rachel a kiss goodnight, and then I’m gonna head to bed myself. Tip the sitter generously. Eric’s been outta work, so, uh, I think we can use.

Want me to take you home? Yeah, thanks. Okay.

And guess what? It’s uh, it’s almost.

It’s just about midnight. One, two. Watch the countdown. Uh, yeah. Why not?

Well, for the bitter end, it’s been one hell of a year. Yeah. Next year has to be better. No way to go but up.

Happy year. Happy New Year.

It’s midnight. Happy New Year, Jada. Happy New Year, Ray.

Uh, happy New Year. Happy new.

I have to say I like the way this New Year’s starting out. Me too. That seems like you were more ready to move on from Brady than you thought. Huh? Brady? Who?

Brady, Rachel’s gone.

Happy New Year. Happy New Year.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Dance music plays ] Mm! Ooh, excuse me. Hi. [ Laughs ] Wait, finn? Finn. Oh. Did elizabeth talk you into this? Uh, sorry. This is so not your scene. Elizabeth must have dragged you here. Where is she? Here’s the list of stuff that esme is gonna need in the coming weeks. I’ll take care of it. And i will take care of her. I really appreciate all you’re doing. I’m not doing this for you.

[ Doorbell rings ] Mother. Happy new year. It’s not a good time. I’m sorry to hear that.

[ Footsteps approaching ] Spencer, sorry. Were you waiting long? Definitely worth the wait. You look beautiful. Thanks. You, too. Well, you know.

[ Chuckles ] So you all set to do this? Be seen together to generate buzz? Let’s start with a selfie. Yeah. We can post throughout the night and drive esme crazy. Hopefully we can make her jealous enough to become reckless. Well, one look at you and mission accomplished. Say “it’s on and poppin’.”

[ Laughs ]

[ Camera shutter clicks ] Nice.

[ Person coughing ] That’s cute. Spencer. When kristina told me she saw you at christmas, I said, “that’s impossible, because my — my nephew wouldn’t show up in port charles without coming to see me.”

[ Bells tolling ] It’s just me. It’s just me.

[ Sighs ] Why’d you want to see me? Sonny’s cutting a deal. With who? People he’ll regret doing business with. Oh. It’s you. Kinda overdressed for nursing a prisoner, aren’t you? How are you feeling?

[ Scoffs ] Like you care.

[ Door locking ] You know, you and your baby have been on my mind constantly these days. I’ve sacrificed a lot to keep us all safe. Well, if that’s true, it’s not too late. Help me get out of here so — if not for my sake, then for the baby.

[ Dance music playing ]

[ Laughs ] Ah. Happy birthday to me.

[ Gasps, sighs ] Thank you, brad.

[ Squeals ] He has nothing on mein scotty.

[ Laughs ] Excuse me. Hey. Fashionably late, I see. I wanted to make an entrance. And that you did, girl. That ensemble is smoking! That’s the plan. Um, nice job on the waiters.

[ Laughs ] By the way. I know that was your contribution. You know it. What’s a party without hunky, half-nude servers, huh? Yes. [ Laughs ] And, maxie, everything looks gorgeous and stunning. Take a sip. It’s prosecco, not champagne. You know me well. Hi. You look great. Thank you. Hey, brad. Austin. And you, my goodness. I know you’re my boss, but can I say “wow?” Uh, you can tonight. Thank you. Alright. Well, then, wow.

[ Laughs ] Alright, well, brad and i are gonna go check on some other surprises we have up our sleeves.

[ Chuckles ] They’ve gone to so much trouble. Yeah, well, they love you. They want to make you happy. So you should consider how they’re gonna feel when they figure out that this was their last opportunity.


uncle sonny, I — I am sorry. I had planned on coming by to say thank you for looking out for me while I was in pentonville. I truly appreciated it. It’s just that so much has happened since I’ve been out. Relax, spencer. I’m just happy to see you.

[ Spencer and sonny laugh ] Hopefully, I won’t need any more favors from you. I’ll hold you to that. I was sorry to hear about your friend, officer cabrera. Yeah, I heard he was a good man. He was a very good man. Too good. Rory was there for trina when she needed support. He was. Well, um, we’re gonna go inside. Yeah? Um, we’ll see you later, okay?

[ Sighs ] Thank you for what you said about rory and for helping me bring his killer to justice. I’d do anything for you. You know that. But this isn’t all just for you. I’m the one who brought esme to port charles, which makes it my responsibility to rid this city of her forever.

[ Dance music plays ] Looks like, uh, britt went all out, huh? Yeah, it’S… [Clears throat] It’s something. I appreciate you coming out with me. You know, this is a bit more lively than our new year’s eve last year. You don’t have to thank me. You know why? Hmm? Because I like being by your side. Thank you. It’s just important for me to be there for britt. You know, maxie, britt, and I, we made a sister pact, and we’ve been close ever since. I want to be there for her. I just want more time with her. Listen. Huntington’s is like alzheimer’S. It’s a no-joke disease, and you’re gonna have a rough road ahead. I have something to say, and please just hear me out, alright? I-I don’t think it’s a good idea, this whole running away thing. Austin, I swear, if you start hounding me, I will throw you overboard.

[ Scoffs ] And to be clear, I-I’m not running away. I am making a graceful exit. There’s still time. To rethink that. Not much. In 4 hours, when the countdown begins and the topless hotties are topping off drinks, I will slip away with a one-way ticket to destiny. You look like you’re solo, too. Where’s, uh — where’s my buddy, yuri? He’s sick. It’s adorable how even the biggest, strongest men become babies when they catch the sniffles. [ Laughs ] It’s a good thing yuri knows a doctor. Yeah, I should bill him, I suppose. Hmm. It is nice, though, to have someone to take care of, and to be taken care of in return. Oh, look, I know that you prefer that I call before I come over, but to be honest, I didn’t want to give you the opportunity to come up with an excuse not to talk to me. About what? I spoke with your uncle. Victor. What did he say? No, cyrus. I went to visit him at pentonville.

[ Chuckles ] What possessed you to do that? He said that he had some information about our family, and, well, I guess it just got me to wondering what else I don’t know. About cyrus? About you. You told me that you betrayed all the people you loved the most. Can you tell me exactly what you meant by that? You care so much for this baby, and yet you won’t do a thing to help me, even though you know I didn’t hurt anyone. Maybe you didn’t kill anyone, but you’ve hurt a lot of people, my son included. Oh. So this is revenge, after all. It’s not. The way I see it, you have two options — you can either stay in this tower, or you can face prosecution for the slew of crimes you’ll be charged with if I turn you in. Well, there is a third option. Set me free so I can leave town and raise my baby. And why would I do that? It wasn’t that long ago that you threatened a hunger strike and refused to take your prenatal vitamins. Because I’m desperate. Can’t you see that? Elizabeth, I swear I will take care of this baby, but I-I need to be free so we can be safe. On the run, no family or resources, constantly looking over your shoulder — how is that any safer than a roof over your head, nutritious meals, and consistent care? Because I won’t have to live with the fear that nikolas will kill me as soon as I give birth.


Go just now? Oh, no, don’t pay any attention to me. Hey. What are you — it’s a celebration, and I refuse to be a buzzkill. You can tell me anything, you know that. Where’d you go? It’s — oh, my god.

[ Laughs ] What? Just thinking about my — I was thinking about my brother, I was thinking about nelle, and how I don’t get to see wiley anymore. And my family is very small, and the thought of losing britt maybe in a few years is… just… I get it. I lost my dad. I lost brando. Now I can’t see michael. I can’t see wiley. And now michael is going to have another child, and what now? Yeah. Am I gonna be able to see that child? Probably not, right? Well, you have to pay a really big price, having me in your life, don’t you?

[ Siren blaring ]

[ Laughs ] Hello, beauties!

[ Cheers and applause ] Oh, I am simply gagging on the fabulosity! You are all so hot, I may have smoke inhalation. Is there a doctor in the house? Yes, there is, and she loves to dance.

[ Woman squealing ]

[ Laughter ]

I wanted you ava and I have — we’ve been struggling for months. It’S… no, come on, now. It’s not about ava. That’s not a reason that spencer would turn his back on you. Look, your son just got out of prison. That should matter to you. You should be spending time with him tonight, working on your relationship with him. But where is he? Do you know? Do you care? Of course I care. Then what have you done to alienate him? You keep worrying that nikolas is gonna harm you, but I’m telling you, that’s not his plan. That’s not the plan he shared with you. Lie back.

[ Sighs ] You know, maybe you’re judging nikolas based on your own standards.

[ Equipment beeps ] But you’re wrong about him. And wrong about me, too. I’m not gonna let anything happen to you.

[ Heartbeat through sonogram ] Strong heartbeat. Okay. Um… are you in any discomfort? Any pain? No. Any the other concerns? Yes. What if there are complications? So far, your pregnancy is progressing typically. Yeah, so far, but I mean, I’ve only seen one ultrasound since I found out I was pregnant, and then there’s been nothing since. I know this isn’t ideal, but I have assisted in a lot of births — three of my own. You don’t have to worry. Women have been giving birth since the dawn of time. Y-you talk like I’m a patient in a maternity ward. I’m not. I’m — I’m a prisoner. You’re right, I have hurt people — people who did not deserve it, especially cam. But what if you’re hurting my baby by helping nikolas? Can you live with that, nurse baldwin? Sonny met with a representative from pikeman security group. Pikeman, they’re — they’re military contractors. They do everything from weapon design to manufacturing and logistics and private squads of soldiers. What do they want from sonny? They want to move their product through port charles, and they want sonny to facilitate. Pikeman is paying sonny to help them smuggle military weapons? That’s as illegal as it gets.


whoo! Mommy is parched. I’m gonna get a drink. Britt: Okay. [ Laughs ] B-r-B. Oh. Oh, my god! Where did you get her?! Are you surprised? Am I ever? Ugh, I love it all. I love it. You two. I’m never gonna forget this, for as long as I live.

[ Laughs ] Okay, so good you asked. I mean, it’s probably just a mole, but yeah, I’d — I’d get it checked out. Hey. On the clock, dr. Gatlin-holt? Always. I mean, you know how it is if you point out you’re a doctor. That ends once you lose your license. I haven’t always been your biggest fan. Really? Hadn’t noticed. But you’ve been a good friend to my daughter. I’m grateful. Thank you for saying that. It’s been a real pleasure, you know, getting to know britt. I hope it continues. She needs her friends now. So, finn, is elizabeth showing up later, or…? I’M…really not sure.

[ Scoffs ] She’s been so hard to pin down lately. I might have to page her at G.H. Just to catch up.

[ Chuckles ] Um, is she okay, or…? I would be the wrong guy to ask. Please help me get away so I-I can be free and raise my baby in peace. I was right. You do care about this child. I don’t know if I’m mom material. I can be selfish and willful. But I do know that even if neither of us is innocent, this baby is, and I want to give him or her a better start in life than I had. I asked nikolas to order a portable ultrasound machine, so the next time I visit, we can do that scan and maybe give you a picture of your baby. And what if it shows something bad? We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it — if we come to it, but again, I don’t want you to worry. Why worry when life is so wonderful? Have fun at your party. Nikolas: I’ve let spencer down so many times. Yeah, that doesn’t explain why he would have such a big reaction to you having been unfaithful to ava. Spencer is disappointed. Okay? I set such a poor example. Unless it’s not the fact that you had an affair, but who you had the affair with. Who is she? Mother, I don’t want to discuss this. I don’t really want to discuss it either, but this has affected our whole family, so I’d like to know. Elizabeth: I’m leaving now. Laura. Hi. Hi. Didn’t realize you had company. Yeah, that makes two of us. You look beautiful. Thank you. I am going to britt westbourne’s party. And I’m late, so I better go. Oh, well, stay safe. Have fun. Uh, maybe we can get together soon. We have a lot of catching up to do. Yeah. Yeah, I’d like that. Okay. Goodnight. Happy new year. Yeah, same to you. Thanks for… stopping by. Please tell me it’s not elizabeth. The pikeman rep, a guy named hume, handed sonny a briefcase full of cash just for showing up. So sonny draws a line on running drugs, but he’s willing to help ship weapons of war. There’s two reasons people want ship under cloak of darkness — either what they’re moving is dirty or what they’re moving is being supplied to dirty people. In this case, both. This deal is extremely lucrative for sonny, but also extremely dicey. This is it. This is how we bring sonny down. This isn’t like busting sonny on rico violations. Pikeman had contractors in afghanistan. They’re heavy hitters. Just think twice before messing with them. Are you backing out? The other day, you were worried. You didn’t want to get too close to donna. Oh, um, yeah. I was just having a moment. You know, I didn’t mean to be so maudlin. Right. But I — I’ve been thinking about that — uh, what you said — and you didn’t want to latch on in order to fill a void. Yeah. It’s actually kind of embarrassing, like, that whole conversation. Yeah, but isn’t that what loved ones are supposed to do for us? Fill that space inside of us when we lose somebody or feel alone? Yeah, I suppose so. That’s what you did for me. That’s what you do for me. So what I want you to do is I want you to latch on to me, donna, and avery. You’ve got more family than you know. Yeah.

Tonight, you’re mine


You cheated on ava with elizabeth?! I said I don’t want to discuss it. Well, it’s too late. You’ve already confirmed it. Do you have any idea how fragile elizabeth is right now? Mother, it’s over. It doesn’t matter if it’s over. The damage has been done.

[ Sighs ] No wonder spencer is so upset. My god, she’s family. Her sons are his cousins. What were you thinking?! You know elizabeth and i have a past. And it should have stayed in the past. I mean, I thought the two of you were just friends. Does finn know?

[ Sighs ] Elizabeth and I hate that we hurt finn and ava. That’s why we want to keep it quiet. We don’t want to cause any more pain. Well… no one will hear anything from me.

[ Sighs ] Nikolas, don’t kid yourself. Secrets like this are impossible to keep. I’m not looking for a way out. Well, good, because I need updates on every step of this partnership between pikeman and sonny, and I’m talking names, dates, shipping container numbers, bills of lading, all of it. I-I just want to be sure you know what you’re getting yourself into. Any evidence we get against sonny will also be evidence against pikeman. Who even knows how many laws they’re breaking by shipping this stuff, and if they connect it back to us… it could get messy. You didn’t forget a single detail of that special meal I told you about. You…

[Laughing] You remembered everything. I listen. You don’t have to feel alone, esme. Join me?

[ Dance music plays in distance ] Oh, thanks, but no one’s watching us now. Well… can’t I be a friend while at the same time being a gentleman? There you go. With all due respect to ava, I do think that esme is the likeliest suspect. Okay, boss.

[ Laughs ] All due respect to ava? That must have been some talk you guys had. Ava and I are never going to like each other. But she cares about you, and i know that you care about her, so that I can respect. That’s decent. Spencer, um, I have something to clear up. At my party, I said we weren’t friends. I recall. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it. I – I was — I was upset a-and hurt. I’m glad to hear it. Not that you were hurt and upset, but that we can still be friends. Trina, I don’t have many of those. You have me, joss, and cam, and britt. That’s respectable. Yeah, well, that might be the first time that I’ve heard the word “respectable” applied to me. First time for everything. Hmm. I really am grateful. Especially since I hurt you all, britt included. She means a lot to you, huh? She was always there for me as a kid. And she stuck by my side, from my bratty juvenile shenanigans to the wreck of things that I’ve made since I got back. And britt and I have a lot in common, and somehow we both tend to push away the people in our lives that we so desperately need.

[ Dance music plays ]

You won’t come down

you won’t come

[ Laughter ] Be careful. Don’t overdo it. Ugh! Isn’t that what tonight is for? I’m happy to see you enjoying yourself, but you can’t get over-tired. It takes a toll. Mutter, stop worrying! But I am your mutter. It’s my job to worry about you. No, not tonight. Tonight, your job is to have fun. Please. It’s important to me.

[ Chuckles ] I’m so happy you have scott. Life will never be dull with him.

[ Laughter ]

You won’t come hey. [ Laughs ] Aunt liesl. And britt. Wow, you look amazing! You look cover-worthy. Oh. [ Chuckles ] Great party. How you doing? All is well, thank you. Excuse me, my scotty needs me. Please tell me that you’re having the time of your life. Oh, I am! So you don’t need to look at me like that. [ Laughs ] Like what? Like I’m the walking dead. Okay, so, what’s going on? Elizabeth and I, uh,

[Sighs] We broke up. W-what?! Elizabeth didn’t breathe a word. I’m not exactly surprised. It was sudden. I don’t understand! What happened?!

You won’t come down

[ Paper crumples ] It pains me that I disappointed you again. No. It’s okay. I — I’m just really worried about spencer. You know, he just got out of prison, and he’s coming home to all of this chaos. I’ll be a better father going forward. If he gives you the opportunity. You know, spencer can’t completely distance himself from me. I mean, spencer’s release is contingent on being in victor’s custody, and victor insists on staying at wyndemere. Wait a minute. Are you saying that spencer is legally in victor’s custody? I mean, does it matter? Yes. Oh, my god! Yes! It matters! Victor only acts in his own self interest. Don’t you see? Sooner or later, he-he’s gonna use spencer. Oh, my god. I can’t let that happen. I can’T. Wa-wait, what are you planning to do? I don’t know, but whatever it takes. No. Mother, you are no match for victor. Leave it alone.


You don’t have to pretend.My mother told me she told you. You know, w-we just never know how much time we have in life. Look at jason. I mean… what matters is what we do with the time we have. Yeah, how we spend our time, who we spend our time with. Britt, this party was a great idea. You know what? Jason would want to see you getting all you can out of life. Got anything you want to tell me? Maybe one or two. Ladies, gents, them/theys, and anyone else here to slay, tonight is about honoring that other infamous queen bee, the M.D. With the b-day, dr. Britt westbourne!

[ Cheers and applause ] Now, britt’s partner-in-wine, brad, tells me that when they’re not busy reading red carpet fashion for filth or murdering mimosas,

[Laughs] Their favorite pastime is dusting their karaoke competition. Well, girl, we have a mic. We have a stage. We just need two showboats willing to serve. Brad and britt, without further ado, come through!

[ Cheers and applause ] Make some noise for brad and the britch! For you and you.

[ Cheers and applause ] What are we gonna sing? Oh, it’s handled. Ah!

[ Up-tempo music plays ] Let’s go, britt. No pause. Like a warrior that fights and wins the battle I know the taste of victory though I went through some nights consumed by the shadows I was crippled emotionally both: Hmmm somehow I made it through the heartache yes, I did oh I escaped oh-oh I found my way out of the darkness I kept my faith I know you did kept my faith when the river was deep, I didn’t falter when the mountain was high, I still believed when the valley was low, it didn’t stop me, no, no I knew you were waiting I knew you were waiting for me oh-oh with an endless desire, I kept on searching sure in time our eyes would meet and like a bridge that’s on fire, the hurt is over one touch and… you set me free no, I don’t regret a single moment no, I don’t I know you don’t looking back, uh when I think of all those disappointments I just laugh I know you do I just laugh when the river was deep, I didn’t falter when the mountain was high, I still believed when the valley was low, it didn’t stop me, oh I knew you were waiting I knew you were waiting for me so we were drawn together through destiny ooh, boy I know this love we share was meant to be oh h background singers: Knew you were waiting ooh, yeah knew you were waiting I knew you were waiting knew you were waiting for me oh, when th


Background singers: It didn’t stop me no, it didn’t stop me, no knew you were waiting britt and brad: I knew you were waiting for me I didn’t falter I still believed oh, I still believed background singers: It didn’t stop me no, it didn’t stop me no knew you were waiting someday, some place someway, somehow for me I didn’t falter when the valley was low I still believed I believed, I believed it didn’t stop me together: I knew you were waiting I knew you were waiting for me

[ Cheers and applause ] Why did I find out from finn that the two of you broke up? Explain yourself, missy.

[ Cheers and applause continue ]

[ Scoffs ] Emcee: Alright! Thank you, my dear. Let’s hear it one more time for the britch and brad! Brad and the britch! Yes!

[ Cheers and applause ] Okay, boys, show the birthday girl whatcha got. Ooh!

[ Applause ] Don’t worry, gal pal, we all know how much you hate the birthday song. But there is one tradition we must insist on. Mm-hmm. Brad and maxie: Make a wish. Oh…

[ Chuckles ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Mouthing ]

[ Laughs ] Okay. Look, just get the evidence against sonny, and I’ll make sure to get it into the right hands without implicating either one of us. When we expose sonny, he’ll have a target on his back with the law and with pikeman. He might be better off in custody. Well, if he’s convicted of the charges he’d be facing, he’ll be in prison for a very long time — possibly forever. You prepared for that? Look, I always knew what sonny was capable of. And torturing you was a new low. But this — running weapons with a back-channel military organization? I mean, he’s not the father that I knew. I don’t want him near my family. So to answer your question… forever’s fine with me. For my sake, don’t antagonize victor. He can accuse me of terrible things. Does he have proof? I can’t get into it. Then I can’t help you. What do you mean? I — it — look, it’s not just about you. I am also very worried about spencer. If you know something, you should tell me. I can’t! Why?! Has victor threatened you?

[ Scoffs ] No one is at risk if we play his game. But if you take down victor, you take me down. Leave him alone or you will lose your son. Mmm! That steak was delicious. Sorry you couldn’t join me. It’s alright. I’m glad you enjoyed it. You know what? To kindness found in the most unexpected places. Hm! Oh, oh!

[ Coughing ] It’s all right. Oh. Um, I got it.

[ Coughing ] Okay.

[ Coughing continues ]

[ Sighs ] Demetrius, thank you. This meant more to me than you will ever know. Happy new year.

[ Speaks in native language ] Esme.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

[ Sighs ] And happy new year to us, ace. We should head inside. Five more minutes. Nobody will see us out here together. We’re on the deck. Well, the buzz could be that we stole some time alone. I mean, they might assume I got emotional and needed air. Yeah, and I came out to the deck to check on you. And I leaned on you for comfort. And some…combination of the heightened emotions and the twinkling lights… yeah, and the waves and stars. And your warmth as you held me. Brought back all those old feelings. The ones we never acted on. And it felt like we were the only two people on earth.

Is this seat taken?

Traci: Um, actually, no. I’m on my own tonight. Go ahead. Thank you.

Well, we’ll see if we can fix that.

Traci: Danny?

[ Gasps ]

[ Laughs ]

Chelsea: I think you’re on the right track! Keep at it.

Connor: Trying to save eggs from breaking is a lame way to spend new year’s eve. Can’t I just use the one in the closet?

Chelsea: How did you know about that?

Connor: I was looking for more bubble wrap, and there it was — a completely done egg-drop device. I figured you’d made it in case mine didn’t work.

Chelsea: Wrong. Billy and I just got carried away playing with the art supplies and were testing out your new project. You will be handing in your own schoolwork.

Connor: Fine. Be that way.

Chelsea: [ Laughing ] You’ll thank me later.

Connor: Billy’s cool, isn’t he?

Chelsea: He can be.

Billy: Hey.

Lily: Hey.

Billy: You’re just in time.

Lily: For what?

Billy: To celebrate the new year.

Lily: Here?

Billy: Yeah. You know, we could have went the more traditional route and went to a fancy dinner and went to the clubs after, but — I don’t know — getting dressed up and making a big deal out of it — it didn’t feel like the right thing to do this year.

[ Knock on door ]

Sally: That is a lot of soup.

Nick: I’m gonna hook you up. I got everything. I got soup, herbal tea, ginger ale. I got a heating pad guaranteed to cure an ailing stomach.

Sally: Wow, you thought of everything.

Nick: How you feeling?

Sally: I am feeling a little better. You did not have to go through all this trouble.

Nick: I like taking care of you.

Sally: I know this isn’t the new year’s eve you had in mind.

Nick: That’s why I went for plan B. Ginger ale bubbles for our midnight toast instead of champagne.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Jeremy: Thank you.

Diane: So, should I go on? Is my offer of any interest?

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] Frankly, I’m surprised. I thought I made myself crystal clear. The only way to settle this is for you to pay me back what you took from me. Now, that’s what I would find, uh, desirable.

Diane: If only it were that easy. But as I explained, the money is gone. So, I have a better idea. And we start by laying our cards on the table, all of them.

Jeremy: Challenge accepted. You go first.

Diane: Alright —

Jeremy: Tell me the truth about the fbi. Did you turn state’s evidence to put me away? She is fearless

Traci: [ Laughing ] Oh, danny! Oh, my gosh, this is the most fabulous surprise. I’m so glad to see you.

Danny: It’s good to see you, too, traci.

Traci: [ Chuckles ] So — so, when did you get to town?

Danny: Oh, christmas eve, yeah. I spent the holiday with daniel and phyllis.

Traci: Oh. That’s so special. Can — can you join me?

Danny: I’d love to. Come on. Hey, let’s sit over here.

Traci: Okay. Here. We’ll get you one of these, too, okay?

Danny: Oh, please.

Traci: [ Laughs ] Oh, my gosh. There we go. So, how long are you here for?

Danny: Uh, well, I’m afraid it’s a short visit between tour dates, yeah. In fact, I’m staying here and just came down to grab a glass of champagne for new year’s eve.

Traci: I am so glad you did.

Danny: You look fabulous.

Traci: [ Laughs ]

Danny: Tell me. Alright, come on. How’s life treating you? I want to know everything. Don’t hold back.

Traci: Oh!

Danny: You’re holding back. Come on!

Traci: No, I’m just —

Danny: What?

Traci: I’m just marveling at you, at us, how we just sort of fall back into sync, just like we always did, you know?

Lauren: Wait a minute. What’s going on here? Are you two getting the band back together without me?

[ Laughter ]

Traci: Oh, my gosh! What are the chances?

Danny: We’ve been thinking about it.

[ Laughter ]

Connor: Could I just do all bubble wrap? Like, until it’s the size of a bowling ball?

Chelsea: I mean, you can try anything and see if it works. That’s the whole point of the project, right? You need to experiment, use your creativity.

Connor: Really? I thought it was to see how many omelets you can eat in a week. I mean, got to do something with all the broken eggs.

Chelsea: You’re a wise guy.

[ Knock on door ]

Connor: I’ll get it.

Chelsea: Okay. Make sure you ask who it is first.

Connor: Who is it?

Adam: It’s your father.

Connor: Dad. Man, am I glad you’re here. If I have to see one more messed-up egg…

Adam: Oh. What, uh — what did I miss?

Chelsea: We are working on a school project.

Adam: Oh.

Connor: I’ve got to figure out how to protect an egg so it won’t break when you drop it.

Adam: I see. Engineering 101. That sounds like a lot of fun.

Connor: If you say so. Mom and billy already made one that works, so now it’s my turn.

Chelsea: Well, you keep working on it. You’re gonna get there.

Connor: Billy made mom smile. So, that’s a good sign, right?

Billy: Just thought maybe we’d get out of our comfort zone a little bit, you know, see things from a different perspective, and from this side of the park, we’re gonna be able to see the fireworks perfectly.

Lily: I think the different perspective we need has nothing to do with the view. @A

Billy: I’m worried about us, lily.

Lily: Me too.

Diane: Jeremy, I swear i would never turn on you like that. I also know how furious you’d be at anyone foolish enough to betray you. And not to mention, remember i was living a lie. The last thing I needed was to draw any unwanted attention from the authorities.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] I want to believe you’re being straight with me.

Diane: I am. 100%. And I’m going to tell you something else you might have a hard time believing.

[ Sighs ] After you were arrested, i missed the excitement that you brought to my life. I tried to tell myself it was enough to be back with my family, but I’ve been kidding myself. I’m climbing the walls.

Jeremy: Hmm. I have to admit, I thought a lot about you when I was locked up. Angry thoughts, sure… but good ones, too, the times we shared together, before you figured out what I tricked you into doing.

Diane: Well, there were a lot of good times before and after I knew the truth. It was thrilling. It made me feel alive.

Jeremy: What exactly are you suggesting?

Diane: I want to get back that excitement…with you. I brought in ensure max protein

Sally: I appreciate everything that you’ve done, but I don’t expect you to sacrifice your entire night for me.

Nick: Trust me, I’m fine spending new year’s eve here with you instead of going to the glam club.

Sally: I appreciate the offer, but we’re taking things slow, remember? I don’t think I’m ready for you to watch me dribble soup on my shirt or turn green.

Nick: Do you remember how many kids I have? Nothing fazes me.

Sally: Okay. That may be the case, but I — I don’t like to show people my sick side. And besides, I’m — I have a thing about celebrating holidays.

Nick: Alright. We’re gonna work on that. As for tonight, I will honor your wishes and leave. But if you change your mind and you want some company, I’m just a text away.

Sally: Thanks.

Nick: And since I’m not gonna get a chance to tell you later, happy new year. Feel better.

Sally: Thank you.

[ Door closes ]

[ Sighs ]

Billy: Look, I know this whole ordeal with chelsea has thrown us off balance, lily. I get that.

Lily: Oh, god, billy, my issue is not with chelsea. It’s with you. I mean, tonight you were supposed to plan something special for us, and yet we’re standing here in the freezing cold waiting for fireworks that aren’t gonna start for hours.

Billy: I’m sorry. I know I should have planned something more. It’s just, you know, the week got away from me and…

Lily: [ Scoffs ]

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Lily: I mean, do I love that you have spent time with chelsea every day over the holidays? Of course I don’T. But I can understand it.

Billy: Really? Because I’m not sure about that.

Lily: [ Sighs ] Billy, I really feel like our issues started long before chelsea’s crisis.

Billy: I don’t feel that way.

Lily: I do. I mean, you’ve been going in a different direction for months, and I don’t know how we get back on track.

Billy: But we do, right? I mean, we’re gonna work on it. We start couples therapy next week.

Lily: Yeah, but I even thought that suggesting therapy was gonna be a wake-up call for you. And you haven’t even changed your behavior since then. And that breaks my heart.

Billy: Lily —

Lily: I mean, if you’re not gonna meet me halfway, then what’s the point? You didn’t even think that we had an issue when I brought up going to therapy. So, like, what, were you just gonna go through the motions then?

[ Exhales sharply ] I just… I realize that trying to back you into a corner to try to fix things — it was just the wrong thing to do.

Billy: It almost sounds like you think what we have is too far gone.

Lily: I don’t want to believe it, either, but I’ve been going over and over it in my head. And I’ve realized that we’ve always had work in common. And that’s what we had to fall back on when things got bumpy. And so now that that’s gone, it’s like so is the spark that we felt when we first found each other again.

[ Voice breaking ] And I hate saying that. I really, really do. But you know it’s true because without that glue, it’s like… we’re just two very different people with two very different goals. And I don’t know if we have enough in common to keep us together.

[ Gasps ]

Jeremy: Assuming you’re saying that you want to start things up again, that would be a huge risk.

Diane: On so many levels. But like you always said, risks make life worth living.

Jeremy: Why did you leave?

Diane: Alright. I won’t lie. I was afraid, and I ran on instinct.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] Oh, you’re good. But I don’t think that’s true. You took yourself out of the picture long enough for jack abbott to try to buy me off again.

Diane: Jack offered you money while I was away? That’s news to me. No, I — I panicked, and I ran on my own volition.

Jeremy: And here you are, not looking the least bit frightened, proposing that we start things up again, all very conveniently timed to coincide with my acceptance of jack’s offer.

Diane: Yeah. You can think what you like. I came back because I realized that it cost me too much the last time I left. And I returned to face you. And whatever deal jack made was to protect his family, not me.

Jeremy: So, you’re claiming you have no allegiance to the abbotts anymore?

Diane: No, no, I’m not saying that at all. I — I would hate to see any of them get hurt. But I also know that I can’t stop thinking about you. We have an unbreakable bond.

Jeremy: Even though I’m risky?

Diane: [ Laughs ] The excitement makes it worth it. Jeremy, this town is killing me. This quiet life I chose for myself is nothing like the way it used to be for us — getting away with things that nobody else could, staying one step ahead of the law. Come on. You remember how thrilling it was. And we could have that again. The risk and the reward.

Jeremy: This is a very interesting proposition.

Chloe: Oh, well, you’re looking a little better.

Sally: Come in.

Chloe: What’s all this?

Sally: Oh, nick brought over a care package.

Chloe: Ah. What a guy. Making time for a little bedside manner on new year’s eve? He’s just the best. What’s wrong? Are you feeling sick to your stomach again?

Sally: No. I-I just can’t get your comment out of my head. I’m just too caught up in the insane possibility that you might be right. The virus that causes shingles is sleeping…

Chloe: Okay. Back up. Which comment and what insane possibility?

Sally: The one that’s got me feeling super paranoid ever since you put the idea in my head.

Chloe: Oh.

Sally: Yeah. “Oh.”

Chloe: Okay, well, why are you so paranoid? I didn’t even say the “p” word.

Sally: Okay, yeah, maybe not, but it’s exactly where your mind went whenever you started in on what could be causing my nausea.

Chloe: Okay, I swear I never seriously thought that you were pregnant. I mean, are you having any other symptoms?

Sally: No. But I checked my calendar, and it’s not out of the question.

Chloe: Okay. Well, I assume that you and nick were careful, right?

Adam: If this was my project, I would want to use a combination of the materials, not just the bubble wrap. Really wow your teacher with your creativity. And I bet you would get a higher grade.

Connor: Dad, you’re making it harder.

Chelsea: [ Laughs ] Your dad’s right. You do have to put some extra effort into it, sweetie.

Adam: Well, uh, I didn’t want to overstay my welcome. I just wanted to wish you guys a happy new year. 2023 is gonna be great for all of us.

Chelsea: I have a feeling you’re right about that.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Connor: Cool. Johnny just posted a new year’s video. Can I go check it out?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Make it quick, please.

Adam: [ Sighs ] So, uh, is billy coming back later to do connor’s math homework or…?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] I could tell hearing about our little project bugged you.

Adam: What was your first clue?

Chelsea: Adam, it was nothing. It was a silly diversion. It helped keep me from getting wrapped up in my own head.

[ Sighs ] Look at the bright side. At least connor’s so busy with this, now he’s not so focused on trying to force his parents to get back together, right?

[ Both chuckle ]

[ Sighs ]

Lauren: So, it is fenmore’s, marchetti, and jabot, all under the same umbrella — the perfect setup.

Danny: Wow. So, you got fashion, cosmetics, and the stores that sell them. You got all your bases covered. You’re brilliant.

Lauren: [ Laughs ] Well, thank you. And you know what? The new spokesmodel for marchetti is a musician named tessa porter. Maybe you’ve heard of her?

Danny: I have. Yeah. She’s a real talent.

Lauren: Good. So, maybe she could open for you one day or she could record a duet with you once her voice recovers?

Traci: Lauren, come on! What are you trying to do, get a bunch of free publicity?

Lauren: Well, why not?

Traci: Because there should be one day out of the year where danny just gets to relax and he doesn’t have to think about or talk about business.

Lauren: Traci’s still the protective fan club president. You’re not still the fan club president, are you?

Traci: [ Chuckles ] Lauren! Just a very dear friend.

[ Light laughter ]

Michael: Wow. This looks like homecoming week. Come here! Mwah!

Traci: Mwah!

Danny: Michael!

Michael: Oh, my goodness!

Danny: Happy new year.

Michael: Ohh, same to you! Lauren didn’t mention that you were in town.

Lauren: I just found out a couple minutes ago.

[ Both laugh ]

Danny: Well, I’m between shows and did a little detour to surprise daniel.

Traci: And us.

Michael: Oh, it is terrific to see you! How’s the kidney?

Danny: It is in fine working order, thanks to you.

Michael: Mm! [ Chuckles ] Well, that is excellent news. It looks like our new year’s eve plans have been expanded.

Lauren: And what better way to ring in a new year than with old friends?

Michael: Mm!

Jeremy: I have to say, you caught me off guard with this. I never would have thought you would suggest we reconcile.

Diane: Well, I won’t pretend it’s love, but we did get along rather famously. I miss that spark in my life.

Jeremy: And you’d rather have me as a friend than an enemy. Trust me.

Diane: Good point. And together, we could find a creative, risky way to score back the money I owe you.

Jeremy: If nothing else, it would make this coming year a hell of a lot more interesting and lucrative than my last six.

Diane: Is that a yes?

Jeremy: I’ll consider it and get back to you.

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ] Jack. How long have you been here?

Jack: I’ve been here the whole time. I couldn’t let you go through this alone.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Billy: We are different in a lot of ways, but I don’t see that as a negative. And I definitely don’t want to give up on us.

Lily: I don’t, either. I really don’T. This isn’t easy for me. But I have always been the pragmatic one, and that is what I’m doing.

Billy: What are you doing? I mean, what are you saying exactly?

Lily: I think we should take some time apart.

Billy: God. Lily —

Lily: I’m not — I’m not saying this is the end, okay? I’m not. I just think that we need to take some time to see what’s really left between us.

[ Breathes deeply ]

[ Sniffles ]

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Diane: I should be angry with you.

Jack: I know you wanted to take on stark alone.

Diane: Yeah, but you didn’t think I could handle it. Which I get. And now that it’s over, I’m — I’m grateful that you were here looking out for me.

Jack: For what it’s worth, you gave a masterful performance.

Diane: Well, I hope so. It wasn’t as effortless as it might have seemed, and i suddenly feel the need for a shower.

Jack: Yeah, I understand that. But as far as I could tell, he was buying your act. You were in complete control.

Diane: I’m glad you think so. But I can’t be sure that jeremy believed me — because with that man, anything is possible.

Adam: Look who’s back.

Billy: It’s none of your concern.

Adam: Oh, billy, the hell it isn’T. What is with this — this endless fixation on chelsea? I mean, did your new year’s eve plans fall through, or were you always planning to bail on lily to hover over my ex-wife at midnight?

Sharon: Mm!

Nick: What was that for?

Sharon: It’s your birthday hug, soon to be followed by a birthday brownie. You didn’t think I’d forget, did you?

Nick: No chance. Um, I know today’s a pretty significant day for you, as well.

Sharon: Yeah. It’s my wedding anniversary to rey.

Nick: Hope you’re okay.

[ Breathes deeply ]

Sharon: It’s hard. But you know what? I don’t want to dwell on it, especially on a night like tonight. It’s supposed to be filled with hope and promise. So, come on. Sit down.

Nick: Alright.

Sharon: Why are you not out celebrating your birthday or the holiday — or both?

Nick: Well, I had some big plans, but they got derailed, uh, by a stomach bug. Sally’s sick.

Sharon: Clearly, things must be progressing if you’re making “big” new year’s plans.

Nick: Oh, you know, after 30, birthdays are all just a blur.

Sharon: Yeah. That’s so true, isn’t it?

Nick: I didn’t even want to tell sally it was my birthday. She may have tried to rally, you know, no matter how sick she was, and she may have pulled it off. She’s a force of nature.

Sharon: Well, your face lights up when you talk about her.

Nick: Yeah, there were some rough times in the beginning, you know, with all the drama surrounding adam, but, uh, it seems to be over with. I like her. She’s, uh — she’s great. I’m having fun.

Sharon: I like seeing you smile. And I hope that 2023 brings us all a reason to smile like that.

Nick: Yeah.

Chloe: No wonder you’re freaking.

Sally: You think? Also, I am normally really diligent about taking the pill, but, um, I think that I have been a little more stressed out than I would like to admit. There’s been a lot going on and, I can’t believe I’m gonna say this out loud, but I forgot… a couple times.

Chloe: Look, I just… I’m just asking this just to be sure. You didn’t “forget” on purpose, right?

Sally: As in, trap him into a surprise pregnancy? No, that’s not my style. Not anymore, at least.

Chloe: Whew. Okay. Good. Sorry. I just — I know that plan doesn’t work out so well. Trust me. I know.

Sally: Yeah. Yeah, trust me. I know, too. The old me almost tried that ploy when I was back in L.A., But thank god I came to my senses.

Chloe: Look, my advice is — relax. I think you’re just getting ahead of yourself. You probably just have a stomach bug or whatever is going around. You just… you know, you just need to calm down and enjoy your soup.

Sally: I just — I don’t have an appetite with this weighing on me.

Chloe: I mean, can I just say one thing? It’s not the worst thing in the world if you have nick’s kid. I mean, he makes beautiful babies.

Sally: Yeah, I wish it were that simple.

Chloe: Why isn’t it that simple?

Sally: Because nick wasn’t the only one. If it turns out that I am… pregnant, the baby could also be adam’S. Can I return this love-hate relationship with cookies?

[ Laughter ]

Danny: Hey, I’ve got a concert in chicago in a couple months. I could get you all front-row seats.

Traci: Oh, that sounds fabulous!

Michael: Oh, that sounds like a date, yes!

Lauren: Oh, can we have dinner afterwards?

Danny: Sold!

Lauren: Alright.

Danny: Yes. Although, you know, I do have a lot keeping me busy right now. I’m writing some music for a project that daniel’s working on.

Lauren: Oh, really? That sounds intriguing.

Danny: I’m pretty excited about it.

Michael: Will you be sticking around long enough to see paul and christine when they get back from their ski trip?

Danny: Um…I’m not sure. Yeah, I, uh — I mean, this was a last-minute detour. I was supposed to see my son in georgia, and then daniel surprised us with his move back to genoa city. Uh, but, yeah, I mean, I — I do hope I get a chance to see cricket before I go. If she’s back in time.

[ Chuckles ]

Chloe: Okay. You need to take some deep breaths because you’re not thinking clearly. There is no way adam could be the father because you haven’t been together in months. It’s been months, hasn’t it?

Sally: Adam and I had kind of a moment a few weeks ago — for closure.

Chloe: Goodbye sex? Are you kidding me?

Sally: It proved to both of us that we — it was way too late to get back what we once shared, okay? And afterwards, we both agreed to go our separate ways. It was spontaneous. But that is why I can’t help but feel a little panicky.

Chloe: Look, I-I just don’t get it. I mean, after everything that he has put you through. And you just allow him to suck you back in, even for the sake of just closure?

Sally: I didn’t regret it in the moment. It ended a chapter for both of us. Unless it didn’T. I just — I have to put these doubts to bed.

Chloe: Well, for the sake of your own sanity, I tend to agree.

Sally: Will you go get me a pregnancy test? Please? I cannot go into the new year without knowing one way or the other.

Billy: If you’re trying to start something, I’m not in the mood.

Adam: Well, that wasn’t my intent. But I strongly suggest that you back off and leave chelsea alone. She’s having some good one-on-one time with connor.

Billy: [ Sniffs ]

Chelsea: Well, hello there.

Billy: Hi. What’s up?

Connor: Happy new year.

Billy: Yeah. Right back at you, buddy.

Chelsea: Connor was craving some hot chocolate. He’s hoping to stay up till midnight this year.

Billy: Mm. Well, good luck with that. Hey, how’d the little, uh, egg-drop contraption go?

Connor: Not as good as yours. Yet.

Chelsea: Busted.

Billy: Uh, alright. Well, you’ll get there.

Connor: Unless you can help me convince mom to turn in your device instead.

Chelsea: [ Gasps ]

Billy: Excuse me. Connor, that would be cheating.

Connor: I prefer to think of it as making the most of my time off. I’m supposed to be resting and recharging, right? Having to do homework is the exact opposite.

Chelsea: I don’t know where he gets it from.

Connor: I’m being logical. Please? Come upstairs. We can work on her together.

Chelsea: Uh, you’re welcome to come and join us. So, three hot chocolates?

Billy: Yeah. Why not?

Connor: Yay! I’ll go order.

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

[ Sniffs ]

Jack: I can get you some tea. It might calm your nerves a bit.

Diane: [ Sighs ] It’s — it’s not so much that jeremy rattled me. It’s that I’m ashamed at how weak I was, the — the — the way I compromised myself and stayed so long under that man’s thumb.

[ Sighs ] I mean, fortunately, I’m stronger now, partly because I did the work, but also because you’ve been so supportive of me.

Jack: I don’t know. As I remember it, I was a lot harder on you than you deserved.

Diane: Oh, I don’t see it that way. You’re kind, but you don’t coddle me. You’re never dismissive, and you don’t treat me like I’m this horrible person out to ruin people’s lives. No. I mean, the truth is, I — i like who I am when I’m with you. And that hasn’t been the case for a really long time.

Jack: I happen to like who i am with you, too.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Ever leave your clothes in the dryer

Michael: Five…

Together: Four, three, two, one! Happy new year!

Michael: Yes!

[ Laughter ] Oh!

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

For auld lang syne, my dear

Billy: Happy new year.

Nick: Happy new year.

Daniel: I had no idea that things had gotten this bad.

Summer: I mean, I have just been going along with everything that kyle wants for the sake of our marriage.

Daniel: So, what are you gonna do now?

Sally: Why are you being so nice to me?

Adam: I think you know.

Christine: Thanks for waiting.

Danny: It was worth it to have some time with you.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Ah, wow. We went from record low temperatures in New York City to record highs in Miami. I’m melting in these clothes. Well, only one solution to that problem. Take ’em off.

You. Okay? I wanna be, but for no reason at all. I have a raging case of pre-warning jitters, shorts of breath and shaky hands. Intonations of doom. Here. Sit down. Um, it doesn’t make any sense. I mean, I’ve been married before. It’s not like I’m afraid of the wedding night. What am I even doing? I’m supposed to be getting Ari some tea.

Sit. I’ll get it. Thank you.

So, um, are the nerves you have in general or is there something particular you’re worried about? I don’t know. I just. You can’t shake the feeling like something’s gonna go horribly wrong.

Hey, her, it’s uh, it’s Brady. Listen, Chris and I are gonna leave in a couple of minutes plan to keep her at the reception at least until midnight. So that should give you more than enough time to get Rachel out. I hope we’re doing the right thing, man.

Kristen, uh, we we should get going.

What? Why don’t you dress for the wedding? I’m not going.

Hi. I’m sorry I’m late. My hair wasn’t cooperating. It’s fine. In fact, Gabby better watch out. You can upstage the pride.

Why do you feel like something’s going to go wrong? I don’t know.

How are you having second thoughts? Do you think you’re making a mistake? No. No, no, no, no. I, I love Lee very much and I’m very happy. It’s just, it’s just been a crazy couple of months and maybe I feel like I don’t deserve to be happy.

I think you do. I think my brother is a very lucky man. Thank you. Yeah, I’m just being weird. Uh, and it doesn’t help that Ari’s. Only wired and maybe this will calmer down.

Hello. Hey, uh, what color is your. Why? Well, I’m trying to, I got a tie. Johnny, just pick one you like, okay. I’m sure it’ll be fine. You sound strange. You okay? I suppose I should have turned down the champagne. Champagne. Gabby started the party pretty early and she’s lots of fun, but I was already a bundle of nerves and now she is too.

Really? I think deep down she’s having doubts about marrying Lee. Did. You, did? Did you say something? No, I didn’t say something, but I’m having a harder time than ever knowing that I’m keeping a secret from the bride.

Hey, Lee, your phones ring in.

Supposed to be checking in. Yes. Hello. Oh, Mr. Shin. Visit Dr. Behem. Rolf

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

What do you mean you’re not going to the wedding? Well, I’m not gonna leave Rachel alone. I, I just saw John and Marlena driving off. I forgot to tell you. Okay. I, I felt bad. They love going out on New Year’s Eve, so I just asked Eric to come babysit instead. I see you without asking me if it was okay. Eric is great with kids and honestly, he was the only person that, uh, I could find that didn’t have anything going on tonight.

I think he was grateful to have something to do, so it all worked out, right? Mm-hmm. , I guess, seems to me like you went through a lot of trouble, so I could go to this wedding with you. Well, like I said, I have expected you to force me to go with you. And remind me that you have Marlena’s life in your hands.

So I guess I thought I would just have a better time if it was my idea. Huh?

Are you sure? That’s all it is.

Thank you. But the last thing I wanna do is upstage Gabby at her own wedding. I’m that thoughtful view. No, it’s self-protection cuz I sure as hell don’t want to draw her fire. She’s already ticked off that. Lee invited me after how I treated her brother. Ah, from Lee’s point of view, it would’ve been bad form to snap the mirror leadership, but as you know, Gabby feels the same way about me.

So we can be prized together, we’re heading to the same place. I’d be happy to give you a lift. Thanks. That that’s, that’s kind of you but it, it’s, it’s not necessary. Think of our carbon footprints and you might need someone to help you cut your rubber chicken. . I’ll have you know that my left-handed you pencil skills have gotten better.

Mm-hmm. . But there’s one thing I could use your help with that. Can you sit me up? I thought you’d never asked.

Mr. Shin? No, this isn’t Mr. Shin. This is Commissioner Ray Fernandez. Oh, ah. I’m curious as to what business you have with Lee. Is that the j? No, it’s Dr. Rolf. He wants to speak to you.

Sorry. Gotta go.

So are you ready for me to help you get ready? Well, that can wait. I mean, I just heard you on the phone. Exactly. What secret have you been keeping from me?

What are you doing in the tux? I could ask you the same thing. Where you going to see Lee Shin shackle himself to Gabby Hernandez? It’s a grim prospect, but at least I get to celebrate that her last name will no longer be Damira. How about you? Uh, . I’m going to Wendy ask me, you two are planning on making something seen.

Are you? How many times we have to promise you, we are not going to tell anyone that. You know, Dr. Roth brainwashed Uncle Stephan, you know, given Stefan’s emotional depth, I think a light rinse could have done the trick. . That’s, that’s so funny. Dad, this whole thing is just so hilarious.

I’m finally ready. You know one too. We’ll be representing Damira Enterprises. Yep. A break. You know what? Nevermind. I’m sorry. Don’t be. Yes, Rafe is gonna be there. So you imagine how thrilled I am about going . But Johnny, you look fabulous. Got big plans tonight. Johnny will also be attending the wedding. Oh, as Wendy Shin’s date.

Wendy is. Gabby’s made of honor, so she’s getting ready with her. Hey, do you guys mind if I snug a ride? Not at all. The more the merrier, you know, I think this wedding is going to be a perfect ending to a rather ghastly year.

How the hell did you get this number? You gave it to me. I didn’t think you’d be so foolish just to allow someone else to answer your phone. What do you want? I’ve been collecting some new data and there’s something very important that you should know. It’s my wedding day and I’m not about to talk business with anyone.

Let alone you. Goodbye and don’t call back the nerve of that man. He said he wants Dara to fund his new lab. Turn him down flat. Don’t want anything more to do with. They’re all bet, especially considering he brought Gabby’s ex-husband back from the dead. I’m not threatened by Stephan. Why would I be in a couple of hours?

Gabby and I will be married.

The secret is go on.

The secret is something Lee’s been planning for your wedding night. I’ve been helping him with it. Gabby, you kill me if he found out I ruined it. So could you just forget you heard anything? No problem. I can’t wait to see what it is. , neither can I Actually, the reason I came down here was to give you this, you know, for putting up with my bride SIL aways with a smile.

Thank you.

It’s beautiful. Why I designed it myself. Just for you. You shouldn’t have it. It’s too much. No, don’t, don’t be silly. It’s actually, let me, let me read to you the, um, inscription here. It says That translates to, um, sisters. I mean, I knew I liked you the minute I met you. Going toe to toe with Lee sticking up for yourself.

That kind of woman. You know, I, I lost my sister. How have you?

Why else would I ask you to go with me to the. I dunno. Maybe there’s a part of you that wants to walk in with me on your arm. Christ. Hmm. Oh, maybe not a conscious part. I mean, you did kiss a nun thinking it was me. Hmm. And now that Chloe is. Off in Miami with Stephan and she made it a big point to move on.

Maybe you’re, uh, realizing it’s time to look to the future with me.

Uh, take off my clothes. I’m stuck. You know, we haven’t really had a chance. anything right today, which is why I was suggesting that we get out of our clothes into something fancy. We can go have a nice dinner and. See where the night takes us. Oh, I like the sound of that. Hmm.

Ariana just started drawing up. Yeah. I mean, I should have known it was more than just nerves. There’s been a stomach virus going around. I mean, I can’t leave her here. I can’t take her to the wedding. I don’t know what I’m gonna do.

Wow. Wow. You, you look great . Uh, sorry that that was, uh, too much. I thought it came across as nice, flattering because you know, normally you’re, you’re not chasing after criminals in four inch heels and you look, I mean, you know, you always look, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Um, and if it’s not too inappropriate, I would like to say that you don’t look half bad yourself.

Uh, thanks . So I, I’m glad you, uh, glad you’re here. This is great. And you know, it promises to be quite a party. The groom’s last name is Shin. Uh, if you like wretched excess, I do actually. Good. And it, uh, sure beats watching the ball drop, send at home alone. Eating a bag of chips. . Yeah. Well, I promise it won’t be.

Wait, this is your first Salem wedding, isn’t it? It is. I’ve never been to a Salem wedding, but I did take a two semester course, uh, for Salem weddings at the police academy. Yeah. They do tend to be high drama and high risk apparently. Yeah. Well, let’s hope tonight is the exception to that, uh, right. Yeah.

For my sister’s sake, cuz it’s been quite the rocky road to the. Yeah. Sorry to hear that. Yeah. Wow. I have a feeling it’s gonna be smooth. Saily,

shall we? Yeah.

Good. Yeah, I’m good. Yeah.

Anyone I could call to stay with Ari is already going to the wedding. I mean, who’s gonna wanna take care of a vomiting? I could stay with her. No, I wouldn’t ask that of, of you. Plus she’s probably contagious then I don’t see any other options unless, unless you post home the wedding.

I dunno why you thought you had to rush us out of the housely. No one’s here. Well, least a few people got to see you walking in on my arm. Yeah, knowing me now. Oh no. There’s always a few familiar face. Hey. Hi. Hi. How are you feeling? Uh, you know, I’m, I’m, I’m much better and I’ll be getting back to work after the holidays.

Kristen, you and Brady look so domestic together, or is it just that Brady looks so domesticated? , you know, at first I felt, um, That you excluded me from your mother’s funeral, but it looks like I dodged a bullet or a bomb

It’s always about you, isn’t it? Come on, Nicole, let’s go grab a drink, all three. I.

Hi, is this on my son? People get a little touchy sometimes when you make jokes about their dead mother. Mm-hmm. such thin skin. No. Let’s find our seats. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. I promised Rachel that I was going to take a picture of us in our fancy outfits at Fancy Wedding. Okay.

Smile.

What’s this? Well, I figured we were both pretty hungry and maybe a little bit tired, so I thought we would eat first and then God, after a man after my own heart. This looks amazing. Good. Turns out I’m an expert at ordering room service. So why don’t you relax, take a load off. I will Open the wine and light the candles.

Hmm. Delicious. And why you do that? I’m gonna check to see that my mother didn’t post any mortifying pictures of US ice skating mortifying. Come on. Thought we were poetry in mosh.

Thank you.

Oh, this could be uncomfortable.

Um, I think I need a refill.

Are you okay? Yeah, yeah. No, I’m fine. Just didn’t expect her to be here. You okay? I don’t blame the pool for what happened between me and Eric. I just blame her for being a line manipulative. You know what? I’m not even gonna say it. No, no, no, no, no. Go ahead. Because, you know, Cole’s been, uh, saying that her living situation with EJ is purely Potoma, but here they are at my sister’s wedding as a couple, wherever she leaves, her hat is home.

Mm-hmm. . Okay. I’m officially freaking out. Okay. What’s wrong? Gabby’s not here yet. I haven’t heard from her. What if she got cold feet? Postpone. Well, if your daughter couldn’t be there, I’m sure Lee would understand

dinner is served. What’s wrong? Nothing. It’s stupid. I just saw a picture of Brady and Kristen at the wedding. When I ran into Kristen a few days ago. She said that they were getting closer and I just assumed that she was lying. Anyway, the moral of this story is I really should unfollow Brady. Sounds like a plan.

Sorry. You’re. Me too.

Wonder how Stephan and Chloe are enjoying Miami. I mean, this is a big milestone for them. It’s not like they haven’t slept together before. You just love rubbing salt into a womb, don’t you? I wouldn’t say that. It’s kind of pathetic if you ask me. Yeah, you’ve managed to screw up my life seven ways from Sunday, but just because you’ve temporarily derailed Chloe and me doesn’t mean you’re gonna keep us away from each other forever.

Forever. Hmm. Well, she’s with Stephan now. You’re just gonna have to accept that Brady. Yeah. Well, I won’t soon. You’ll have to accept it.

Hmm. Accept. Nothing. Nothing at all.

What’s going on? What’s Gary? We had a little problem. Ariana’s sick. Oh no, not tonight. We got something you to stay with her. Okay. I didn’t wanna call and panic everyone before we had it all worked out. Gabby’s in the brides room now she’s pretty on. Yeah, she’s not the only one. The groom thinks that she has cold feet.

Yeah, I bet. All right. I’m gonna go tell Lee the caveats here. Okay. Oh, hey, how you doing, John? I’m doing all right. How about you? Uh, good.

Hey, you uh, look great. Thanks. How you hanging in there? Barely hanging in there. Have you heard me on the phone with you before talking about the secret? What I, I told her it was something Lee was planning to surprise her with on her wedding night. We might have to scatter rose petals on their bed. It was Salem in.

Well, let’s just hope that she forgets about the whole thing, Johnny, maybe the universe wanted me to tell her then when I had the perfect.

Hello everyone. I want to apologize for the delay, but please take your seats. We’re about to begin.

I still melt when I see you. Smile like that.

That is a photo that you promised. You can force me to smile. Kristin, you can’t force me to love you, okay? Oh, you do Brady enough? Smile is not forced. And see, our body language is not forced. You’re delusional. Okay? It’s not a picture of two people having fun at a wedding that’s a picture of a black male or her victim.

I am not having any fun. I’m gonna go ring in the new year with someone who appreciates me, like our daughter. Don’t, don’t go you. You can’t.

I’m, I’m sorry that I keep talking about Brady. I guess I just, I still can’t understand why he left me the way that he did. I know, look, Gabby felt the same way about us. She was desperate to know why my feelings for her had changed so completely. Are you absolutely sure that you don’t wanna know?

Why shouldn’t I go home? You never wanted to come with me in the first place. Okay. Look, I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m sorry I hurt your feelings. The wedding’s about to start. Please just, just sit on. I’ll make it up to you. Okay. I think you will.

Please be seated.

Dearly beloved, we are here tonight to join this man and this woman in Matri Moi. If anyone can show just cause why they may not be legally, wed speak now or forever. Hold your peace. Wait, I, I thought we took that part out.

I have something to say.

Jing, what are you doing? I, hi. Hi, ej. Are you.

I just wanna say how happy I am for my brother and Gabby. I always wanted to pick sister. I couldn’t ask for a better one.

That might have been more appropriately said as a Toast Jing, we. That was lovely. Thank you, . Thank you. She always has to be so harsh on her. Give her a break. Sorry. It was a force of heaven. It was lovely. And I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Sorry.

Back to the script. Back to the script.

Lee, do you take Gabriela to be a wife, to love her, to honor her, to comfort her, to keep her in sickness and in health, forsaking all others for as long as you both shall. I do.

Gabby and I had a very complicated relationship at best, and we spent most of our time hating each other. Even our marriage was a ploy for her to hang on to power at Demer and look who she’s marrying.

You know, maybe a little time and perspective is exactly what I needed to realize. Just how damn toxic she is. I’ve never heard being dead called time and perspective before . Touche. But look, bottom line, I’m glad she’s moved on and I am even more glad that I’ve moved on too Now. Moved back. Because leaving you for Gabby, that’s one of the stupidest things I’ve ever done in my life, and I’m certain that it’s a mistake I’m not gonna make again.

Do you take Lee to be your husband, to love him? To honor. To comfort him in sickness and in health for seeking all others for as long as you both shall live. Yes, I do.

Do you take Lee to be your husband? Uh, I’m so sorry. Yes. Yes. I, I do, of course. Of course I do.

And now, By the power of vested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife Lee. You make his the bride.

Well, Wendy has already given her a toast. I think it’s my turn. Lee, I wanna welcome you to our family. I think it’s great that you and Gabby have worked together, so you already know that she is fierce and determined in business, which is kind of an understatement, , but she’s also fierce with her family and her friends and her loved one.

She will have your back. And as her brother, I can tell you there is no one else that I would rather be in the trenches with than Gabby. Now you’re fierce too, my man. You are. And I can see how much you love her. And together. I know the two of you, the two of you can get through anything, which is good because marriage, marriage can be tough at times.

Things will happen that you, uh, you just didn’t see coming, but I know together the two of you can get through anything. Cause I see how open and honest you are with each other. So whatever life throws at you, I know you will find your way.

I thought I’d turned this off,

Dr. Rolf. Dr. Roll. He called me about funding his new lab. I guess he won’t take no for an answer. I had no idea you two were even in touch.

I really wish you pick up. You need to know that. I’ve just learned c r s 17 can can bear off in their weeks with certain triggers. I hope that doesn’t happen. In Gabriela’s case. Well, dinner’s getting. I don’t know about you, but I don’t wanna spend the whole evening talking about Gabby and Brady. Yeah, sorry.

No, no. Don’t apologize. I’m just so happy to be here with you that I would much rather celebrate the new year than talk about the past works for me.

So Gabby, Did you hate my toast that much? What? Hmm? Yeah, it’s just, you seem a little distracted.

Uh, Debbie, are you all right?

Yeah. Come on, start talking because I’m not just gonna destroy everything in this box. I’m gonna destroy the entire lab. I, I, I remember what, in fact, when I went to see Ro before he left Salem.

One last chance Rolf wanted to do to Stephan. This is your carotid, isn’t it? Alright, right. Alright. You’re right. I brainwashed him. Oh man. Oh my God. He, Ralf had admitted it to me. He, he, he told me, he told me that he brainwashed Stephan, that Stephan did love me, so he made him hate me.

Well, can I introduce some dessert? Ooh, that looks really good, but I cannot eat another bite. Ah, okay, then how about something? It’s not on the menu.

Gabby, let’s go outside. We’ll get some air. Gabby. What do you mean Ralph? Brainwashed? Stephan. She’s confused. Remember Gabby? You told me yourself, Ross, and you believed him. I know, but what I remember now is different. I, when I spoke to Ralph, it’s coming back to me. You need some air? No, no.

I knew it. I knew it. I knew you mixed up and hate me. So nice that you know it. Could you move that scalpel away from my throat? Oh, no, no, no, no. I’ve noticed, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but you’re more forthcoming with a knife to your neck. But I told you what you wanted to know, and now I wanna know why do you really hate me that much?

Of course I do, but it wasn’t person. I was just, we just following orders. Kristin Dam’s orders.

It was Kristen. It was Kristen. Made him do it.

You wanna,

it was you, you told Ralph to brainwash Stephen, you’re hallucinating. Yeah, she must be, imagine you doing something underhanded. Question is, why would you do this to Stephan? Because, uh, it’s because Kristen, why? She was hoping, so did Stephan. Vanessa. Chloe, he would come between her and Brady. She could have Brady alter herself.

Oh my God. That’s because she wanted to break up. You and Chloe ask a stupid question. Can you believer you can’t claim it’s outta character? You know what I’ll admit, I was at Rolf’s lab when Stephan woke up, but uh, if Rolf did brainwash him, it wasn’t my idea then. Whose wasn’t it?

Yes. She wanted. What does that mean? Kristen wanted to break up Brady and Chloe, but your fiance wanted to protect his investment with Lee, the . He knew everything. He knew all along. I had Stephan on ice. I put the brainwashing . It was his idea.

Gabby. Oh my gosh. It was you. This was your idea. You did this.
