Young & The Restless Update

Update written by Barbara

At Crimson Lights, Adam thanks Sharon and tells her that he took her advice on how to handle things with Chelsea.

Upstairs at the apartment, Chelsea makes a stack of pancakes for Connor and cheerfully assures him that it will be a good day.  Connor tells her that the bully at school who picked on him about her was nice to him in class the previous day.  Connor also tells her that he is glad to see her being happy.

At Jabot, Summer gives her brother Daniel a tour of the Marchetti offices. He’s impressed with his younger sister. He asks her about the extra security and if it’s because of the  competition trying to steal Marchetti’s ideas. Summer deflects his question by telling him that there have been a few incidents of “corporate espionage.”

In private, Summer and Jack talk about how Kyle got Diane to the cabin safely, that they have to keep the truth about her whereabouts to themselves and get rid of Jeremy before he does any further damage.

Chelsea goes downstairs to Crimson Lights and says goodbye to Connor as Adam takes him to school. Chelsea then talks with Sharon, telling Sharon that part of her therapy is to make amends with those she has caused problems for. Chelsea apologizes to Sharon about their tumultuous past. She also mentions that Sharon had her own illness to deal with. She adds that she’s sorry for not seeing “the true Sharon” sooner. Sharon looks stunned as she accepts Chelsea’s apology.

Chelsea tells Sharon that she wishes she could apologize to Rey. Sharon says that he can hear her, although he would insist that he doesn’t need an apology from her.

After this, Chelsea talks with Adam about their troubled past.  She apologizes about her lie about Adam not being Connor’s biological father. She also say she’s sorry for other things she put him through, including faking the severity of her stroke. Adam accepts Chelsea’s apology.

At Society, Billy wants to talk to Lily because she got up and left the condo very early, before he had a chance to tell her a morning greeting. Lily is standoffish and appears peeved. She tries to shut Billy out but he is persistent. He asks Lily about her conversation with Chelsea and why she recommended that  Chelsea keep her distance. Lily tells him that she didn’t do that and that Chelsea may have misunderstood. Billy counters that Chelsea isn’t blaming Lily. There’s tension between Lily and Billy and he asks her if she feels threatened by his closeness to Chelsea. Lily tells him no, she’s not.

Lily tells Billy that she thinks he is gambling with Chelsea’s recovery and feeling a high from it. He tells her that he’s not getting some sort of fix from helping Chelsea. Lily is not surprised at all when he gets a text from Chelsea. Lily tells him to go check on Chelsea, that it could be something serious.

Once Billy’s in Chelsea’s apartment, she gives him an update on her mission to make amends with people she has wronged.  She tells Billy that he’s next on her list but she says she’s not sure she can find the words for her apology to him.

Daniel stops by Society and is happy when he bumps into Lily there. He offers to buy her a cup of coffee, sees the expression on her face and says that she could probably use a shot of tequila. Daniel can tell that Lily is upset and lets her know she can tell him anything.

At the Abbott house, Ashley tells Phyllis and Nikki that Diane is officially gone. Phyllis and Nikki are elated, as is Ashley, but she is also concerned that she has alienated Jack.  She also mentions that she feels bad because Harrison keeps asking questions about “DiDi,” who he loves and misses. Nikki, on the other hand, says that she feels Harrison is better off without Diane’s destructive influence.

Over at Jabot, Phyllis shows up in Jack’s office and feigns not knowing about Diane’s departure.  Jack tells her that he holds her responsible for tipping Jeremy off about where Diane was and for getting Diane to leave town. Jack tells Phyllis that he hopes it was worth it and stomps out of the office.

Summer goes off on her mother and tells her that what she did to drive Diane out of Genoa City was indefensible.

Jeremy gets past Jabot security again and happens upon Phyllis in Jack’s office. He tells her that he is looking for Diane.  Phyllis says that she doesn’t know where Diane is since they are not friends.

He says that Diane didn’t show up for work, nor was she in her hotel suite the previous night. He also mentions that Phyllis was the one who let him know where Diane was and that he wants to go somewhere with her so they can talk more privately. Phyllis appears uneasy and unnerved.

Interview with Liza Lapira, Neal Bledsoe, Nathan Witte and Mark Amato

TV Interview!

Liza Lapira, Neal Bledsoe, Nathan Witte and Mark Amato of "Must Love Christmas" on CBS

Interview with Liza Lapira, Neal Bledsoe, Nathan Witte and Mark Amato of “Must Love Christmas” on CBS by Suzanne 11/3/22

This is a cute little Christmas movie. I’d never seen Neal Bledsoe before, but he reminds me of one of my favorite actors, Dan Stevens. Liza Lapira has been on many TV shows I’ve watched, such as NCIS, so it’s nice to see her starring in this. She does a great job as a stressed-out romance novelist. I’ve chatted with Nathan Witte before, and he is truly great in this role as Liza’s past boyfriend. The plot sounds a bit like your standard Christmas movie, but it has a nice twist. Mark Amato, the writer of this film, has written many Christmas movies before, so he knows how to take the formula and tweak it a bit.

Enjoy the transcript of this panel! I’m asking question #3…I mispronounced Liza’s name, but she was super nice about it.

CBS 2022 HOLIDAY PROGRAMMING PANELS

 MUST LOVE CHRISTMAS

 Liza Lapira

Neal Bledsoe

Nathan Witte

Mark Amato, Writer

Virtual via Zoom

November 03, 2022

© 2022 CBS.  All rights reserved.

NOELLE LEWELLYN:  Hi, everyone.  I’m Noelle Lewellyn and on behalf of myself and my counterpart, Eric Freilich, we’d like to welcome you to the panel for our CBS original movie, Must Love Christmas.  We will be presenting you with festive panels today for all three of this year’s holiday films.

“Must Love Christmas” premieres Sunday, December 11 on CBS and will be available to stream live and on demand with Paramount+, and the movie stars CBS’s very own Liza Lapira of our hit drama series “The Equalizer.”

The movie is a charming holiday tale in which Liza plays Natalie, a Christmas romance writer who becomes involved in a love triangle and finds inspiration, both personal and professional.

I would like to welcome our panelists, Liza Lapira who plays Natalie.  Our movie screen writer, Mark Amato.  Neal Bledsoe, who plays Nick, and Nathan Witte, who plays Caleb.  And I think I spoil nothing by saying Nick and Caleb are Christmas contenders for Natalie’s heart.

Before I hand the virtual mic over to Mark for some opening words, just a reminder that if you’d like to ask a question, please raise your hand in the chat feature and I will call on you by your screen name when it’s your turn.

Now over to Mark.  Mark, if you’d like to say a few words.

MARK AMATO:  Yes, thanks.  Writer’s block is a crippling disorder that haunts every writer, present company included.  Even with dozens of Christmas movies that are under my belt, you sit at a computer and the words aren’t coming.  Or worse, they’re coming, just not any good.

So just a plug for our movie Must Love Christmas.  Natalie Wolf is America’s reigning queen of Christmas romance.  Her novels have earned her legions of fans so much so that our hopeless, hopeless romantic rarely leaves her New York apartment these days.

Until, that is, our recluse finds herself in the cross‑hairs between a horrible case of writer’s block and a looming Christmas deadline.  So to shake things up, she takes a tiny step out of her comfort zone for a quick road trip to Buffalo, the town that inspired her very first Christmas novel.  But when a freak snowstorm leaves her stranded on the side of the road, Natalie’s world is about to turn upside down when the tow truck driver, who comes to her rescue, happens to be her very first high school crush, an inspiration to the lead character in one of her novels.

Stuck in an idyllic small town that looks ripped from the pages of a Natalie Wolf classic is where fiction and real life collide, but if Natalie is brave enough to take a leap of faith, turn the page, she just might find her own happily ever after.

QUESTION #1:  Thanks, Noelle.  Nice attire today, by the way.  (She was wearing a VERY festive Christmas sweater!)

Liza, my question is for you, actually two questions.  Number one, is there something very particular in your mind about being a lead in a Christmas movie specifically.  And, number two, I don’t know if there’s also an “Equalizer” episode that night, but if there is, do you get a kick out of the idea that that will lead into this?

LIZA LAPIRA:  I do.  I’ll take the second one first because that’s first and foremost in my mind.  I am really excited for viewers to see me play one vastly different thing one week and then ‑‑ I don’t know ‑‑ couple weeks later or the next week to see this just 180 in terms of a personality shift.

Yeah, this character is ‑‑ Mel, the character I play on “The Equalizer,” is much more self‑assured, to put it mildly, and much more aggressive than Natalie in this movie so that ‑‑ I get a kick out of that.

And then, yeah, it’s really special for me to be the protagonist in this kind of movie because I’ve been a fan for so long.  And, you know, on a separate note, it’s special for me to be a protagonist in something. When growing up I didn’t see many protagonists that look like me so this has just been a doubly wonderful, wonderful thing for me to be a part of.

QUESTION:  Thank you.

QUESTION #2:  Mark, you have a lot in common with the character.  I mean, you write books and you write movies, but it’s the same thing.  So I was wondering, do you sometimes feel that same thing of falling into a trap, you don’t want to have the guy saying my candy coated dreams, things like that.

What are the things you want to avoid when you’re doing a movie and what are the things you’re really trying to have?

MARK AMATO:  The truth is it’s sort of like ‑‑ there are so many tropes that you have to kind of sort of like find a way to recycle and I don’t want to recycle.  So sort of like, you know, I always get like my critics would say, you know how it’s going to end, sort of in the royal matchmaker.  You see two characters.  We know they’re going to be together in the end.  I said but do you know how.  You don’t know how.

So the last act right before you come back, I guarantee no one is going to be able to predict the ending, and for me that becomes the biggest challenge because if I get to a situation where it feels a little too comfortable and a little too easy, I haven’t tested myself so each one I hope to get better and better.

QUESTION:  Cool.  Thanks.

QUESTION #3:  Hi, yeah.  It’s great to talk to you guys.  My question is for Liza.  What is your favorite holiday?  We know what your character’s favorite holiday is, obviously.

LIZA LAPIRA:  Yeah, it’s Liza.  It’s Lisa with a Z.

QUESTION:  I’m sorry.  I’m sorry.

LIZA LAPIRA:  No, everybody ‑‑ I’m sorry.  My mom couldn’t figure out Ss.  It’s a whole thing I have with Mrs. Lapira.  It has nothing to do with you.

But, yeah, I’m in line with Natalie.  Christmas is pretty much up there.  It’s a time for family.  I come from a very, very big one and it’s the one holiday of the year that we all make the trek to, you know, the main home and congregate and eat and drink and eat and eat.  Lots of eating.

QUESTION:  Thank you.

QUESTION #4:  Yes.  Thank you.  It’s a question for both Mark and Liza.  One of the main stakes of these kind of movies, two of the main stakes are the meet cute and then the final decision, the kiss or whatever it is.

And, Mark, in your case of writing that, which one is harder to do to make sure you don’t fall into the tropes?

And, Liza, which one of those is easier to play and which one is more difficult?

MARK AMATO:  It’s interesting because it’s sort of like in my mind I know what I need to do so it’s sort of I kind of reverse engineer.  I go to the first place where they meet.  I think okay, well, how am I going to dove that tail to the middle and end, and that ending ‑‑ that ending completely predicts or dictates to me how I’m going to get these two characters to clash.

And the way I describe it is the two characters, they really are sort of like better if you squeeze them two together they make one really, really good character so that’s how I create sort of like that meet cute.

Liza, take it.

LIZA LAPIRA:  Okay.  Meet cute versus the end ‑‑ well, if the actors I’m working with and the scripture working with and the director you’re working with is great, then they’re both pretty easy and both pretty fun to play.

For this movie in particular, I enjoyed ‑‑ I had two meet cutes.  I enjoyed both of them immensely.  Yeah.  I like ‑‑ I always enjoy a meet cute.  You know I got ‑‑ I got both kinds of meet cute.  I got the meet cute with the high school crush, the guy in my dreams that I haven’t seen in forever, the unrequited love re‑meeting meet cute, and then I got the antagonistic banter witty meet cute so I’m thoroughly spoiled by this movie.  Thanks, Mark, and Neal and Nick.

QUESTION #5:  Hi.  Thanks for doing this.  Question for Mark, but also for anybody who wants to answer.  I was curious to know if the concept of a novelist who strictly writes Christmas romance, if there was anyone in particular that inspired that?

And if any of you have a favorite romance writer who does primarily holiday fare.

MARK AMATO:  I can’t believe anybody wants to talk to me.  I’m just the writer.  But certainly the inspiration for this movie for me was “Romancing the Stone.”  You know are you Joan Wilder, the Joan Wilder, and my version for this was sort of like, if you had somebody who was so completely introverted, who’s just lived in her novels and the occupational hazard that that would create.  And then put them into essentially a world where, wait a minute, you’re living out the fantasies that you create and that’s what happens with Liza’s character.

And I really would like Neal to talk for five seconds at least because you create that ‑‑ the opposite side of the meet cute because it really is sort of like a love triangle.  So how is that to play?

NEAL BLEDSOE:  Fantastic.  I guess that would be the meet ugly that we — our meet is anything but cute, but the good news is that we have nowhere to go but up from there.  It’s definitely for the holiday romance films that I’ve done it’s definitely a different way to meet a leading lady, but I think it makes the payoff at the end that much more wonderful and unexpected.

LIZA LAPIRA:  I agree with Neal.  I loved ‑‑ the thing I loved about our romance, without giving too much away or giving it all away, you guys won’t say anything, is the ‑‑ you know after the sort of antagonistic meet the audience gets to see a friendship develop and then it blossoms into a romance and I really enjoyed that.

You know both these characters, I thought about it, both of the leading men in the love triangle helped this character grow just as friends.  She confronts like a traumatic thing that happened years before this movie takes place and she gets to not only confront it, but step out of the shell that she’s been living in and ‑‑ and leap ‑‑ leap into her life as an active participant.

The other thing I’ll say, Mark, is that you said I was playing you at the ‑‑ we had a pre‑meet before I signed on and he said, yeah, all she does is write Christmas romance novels.  Basically you’re playing me.  And I said, sir, it is my honor and my privilege to be you.

MARK AMATO:  Thank you so much.  It’s the truth though only I’m super extroverted so I’m not afraid of getting out of my shell.  But, yeah, you totally were.  I mean, this is what I do all day.  And every time I do, it’s sort of like, okay, I finished this one.  There’s not another Christmas movie to be told.  Hey, wait a minute, what if.  So thank you.

LIZA LAPIRA:  And the other thing I’ll say is to speak to Mark’s point, she did ‑‑ she is an introvert and it’s for a reason and it’s crafted in the script so it was fun to play and relatively easy to play someone who had like a humiliating public social mediaish thing happen and kind of be traumatized by that in a little way, and that’s so relatable now because, I mean, I feel like that happens every five seconds someone is embarrassed by something they say and then have to get over that trauma, and but not everybody has two handsome guys to help them get through that trauma so that was worth it.

QUESTION #6:  Yeah.  Liza, do you remember when it first occurred to you that you wanted to be an actress and what did your parents say?

LIZA LAPIRA:  It was a circuitous route because I came out of the womb singing.  I was like the 3‑year‑old that mom would pick up on the counter and be like entertain and so I was just singing and dancing, and then I thought that that’s what I was going to do so I started doing musicals.  And then I thought, you know, then I started wanting to do plays without music.  I wanted to do straight plays and then it segued into film and TV.

Funnily enough, I think my parents — with the singing, because it was so obvious, they were along those lines. “And get your law degree too, Liza. But clearly you have some ability there, so do that.”  Acting was a bit of a shock and they eventually ‑‑ they came around in their own ways.  They were never not supportive.  If anything, they were just fearful.

And I think for dad it was ‑‑ it was NCIS that he was like, all right, my girl.  Like re‑runs to this day and he’s like, yep, that’s my girl.  And I think mom I physically, physically had to take her to sets for her to see and she was like, oh, okay this is a job, not only is this a job, it’s a good job and it’s a job with an army of people.  Like it’s not just you and a camcorder.  It’s like an army.  It’s like a team and you’re all a team creating this thing, and that really crystallized it for her so now we’re one big happy family.

NOELLE LEWELLYN:  Thank you.  Thank you both. “NCIS,” saving families nationwide globally.  Actually, I have a question for Neal and Nathan.  The both of you are pros at this genre.  I’m just wondering, how is it ‑‑ how was the experience of filming Must Love Christmas and was it different?  How was it different in any way from your previous projects knowing that you guys have done some of these before?

NATHAN WITTE:  Yeah, sure.  I’ll just tip my hat to Mark, of course.  It’s always the script that reels me in right away, and what I loved about this script is ‑‑ that’s kind of contrary to a lot of other Christmas scripts that I’ve done is that this meet cute that’s happening in this love triangle it just ‑‑ it feels like it happens around Christmas as opposed to like we’re going to do Christmas and shove this ‑‑ this triangle into Christmas.

What I find in a lot of scripts, they’re just — every scene it’s like we got to just let everybody know that we’re doing Christmas in this movie, and every scene you’ve got bells, mistletoes, shirts and sweaters, and everything, cookies. And what I loved about this script is that it was much more nuanced and had its moments of subtlety, but then it had its moments of grandeur Christmas, which I think it allowed to bring up that — Christmas in those moments and make it a lot more special.

And I love the nuance between my character and Neal’s character going after Liza’s character because it really reminded me of ‑‑ I don’t know if anyone else has seen it, but “This Means War,” and I found that to ‑‑ is one of like my favorite romantic comedies and I just tipped that one right next to that just with the sprinkle of Christmas on it so I had a tremendous amount of fun with Neal and Liza.

NEAL BLEDSOE:  That’s well put.  I think for me, and I just watched the film actually last night, and it was the first time coming back to it since we shot it and I think the thing that stuck out for me the most was that this really allowed the people themselves to be real and the obstacles that they were overcoming to be real, and so often in the Christmas film landscape the problems of the people are eroded away to absolutely nothing.  They don’t have any obstacle to overcome.  It’s just like oh my god, I do love Christmas, wow.  And there’s no ‑‑ there’s no hurdle to overcome so I think there’s no ‑‑ and therefore there’s no catharsis to ‑‑ for these people to learn any lesson and so it feels, in other words, in many of these things that I’ve done it feels that the force ‑‑ the plot has been forced upon them rather than these characters coming to these realizations themselves.

And to kind of go back to something that Liza said, which is that these characters all teach something to each other and because of that there’s this extraordinary human web in this film that at first blush you’re like how are we going to make this work, but it really is that all of these characters are working in triplicate to really feed off one another and therefore they come across as so utterly human in a way that I don’t think I’ve seen in pretty much any other Christmas film that I’ve been in.  And that’s fine.  I think that’s the genre of those other networks and those other films, but this really felt like the most human of Christmas films I’ve done.

NOELLE LEWELLYN:  Thank you, both.  That’s really great to hear about that it feels more human and hear about that nuance.  We appreciate that.

QUESTION #7:  Absolutely.  This is for Nathan, Liza, and for Neal.  When you go back to where you came from, sometimes the things that you thought were special turn out to be not so special, if ‑‑ if you get my nuance here.

When you have a childhood crush or a teen crush or whatever and you go back and you meet that person let’s say at a high school reunion, they are never what you thought they were.  And this is not saying anything against you, Nathan, or the character that you play, but ‑‑ but what has that experience been like for you and what did you ‑‑ what informed the character that you played in this?

NATHAN WITTE:  For myself, this — I feel like that Caleb and Natalie didn’t really get to connect back in high school and I feel like Natalie remembered Caleb more than Caleb remembered Natalie.  And for Caleb, Natalie turned out better than, in his mind, what she was back in high school and I think that was in part because he’s ‑‑ he was totally enthralled in the school popularity and sports and ‑‑ and going after any chick that was kind of willing to put themselves in his way, and it was kind of the recognition of Natalie coming back again.  It was like a refresher, a nice reminder because Caleb going through his difficulties and being in a small town. And if anyone knows what it’s like being in a small town there’s not much of a selection. And so having somebody that is not only way better than you thought she would have turned out to be come back into town, it’s kind of like a refresher, almost like opening up a brand-new present.  And I think it was a little too far ahead for Caleb because he’s still dealing with a little bit of his adolescence that kind of gets in the way.

QUESTION:  Liza.

LIZA LAPIRA:  Yeah, Caleb to me is this shiny, glittering illusion.  You know there’s ‑‑ there’s ‑‑ her projection and I don’t even think he plays into it because that sounds manipulative.  I think he’s just a charming guy.  I’ve got guys like this in my family and he’s just a charming guy and he is who he is.  Like even at the end of the movie you don’t hate him.  He’s just that guy that does that thing and he has his own love story and has his own, you know, he has his own life.

But as far as going back, I think in high school Caleb probably was the same in that he’s just this charming illusion, this dream guy, and he’s going to live his life and have fun.  And I think the only difference between the Natalie/Caleb dynamic or, I should say, Natalie’s relationship to Caleb in high school and in present day is she has more access now.  They were close as friends back then and, you know, of course she’s had success in her career.  They’ve lived and had their careers and their lives, and now she has access and agency and so she can see that illusion up close. And, unfortunately, she doesn’t until, you know, she gets the help of her new friend, played by Neal.

QUESTION:  And Neal.

NEAL BLEDSOE:  Well, Howard, if I understood your question right, part of it is about what ‑‑ when we get what we wanted when we were children, when we get that as adults, how is that payoff different.  Do I have that right?

QUESTION:  Absolutely.

NEAL BLEDSOE:  So I think that’s a really insightful question.  Thank you for asking it.  I think that would ‑‑ that certainly plays itself out in ‑‑ in their love ‑‑ in their love story and what happens to this thing.  Do we find it as valuable, in other words, as adults as we did as children and I think that that is such a profound question.  It’s something that I could ask myself about acting.  It’s something I could ask myself about really kind of anything because who we were as children and why we needed those things that we thought would make our lives complete or thought we would make us the best version of ourselves, those things inevitably change as we become older and if they don’t that speaks to a certainly kind of regression of who we are as adults.

So, yeah, of course.  And I think in attaining those things that we so desperately wanted as kids, once we get them as adults we’re allowed to re‑examine them and say like, wow, this actually doesn’t matter as much and I am ‑‑ I am whole without this thing.  They become totems and the totems then perhaps become illusions.

QUESTION:  Very well spoken.  Yes, very, very good.

NOELLE LEWELLYN:  Thank you, all.  Thank you, Howard.  And that is actually the time we have for today.  I would love to thank all of our panelists and all of you for joining.  We are really grateful.  And we are going to say goodbye with Liza who has a few final thoughts.

LIZA LAPIRA:  Okay.  Oh, I see me.  I don’t want to see me.  Telling myself.  Everybody, I’m just ‑‑ thank you for being here.  I hope you guys enjoy the movie.  I hope you see it.  I can’t wait.  It’s a joyous, fun ride and there’s some sweet relationships in it and I ‑‑ I can’t wait to hear what everybody thinks.

And on a personal note, it has just been a career highlight and a thrill to lead one of these movies.  As I said, I’m a big fan of this genre and ‑‑ and, as I said, again, it’s been a thrill to be a protagonist, period, but then a protagonist in this great story. And coming from someone who didn’t see many protagonists growing up, this has just been an embarrassment of riches.  And the fun that the cast and I and the crew and the collaborative nature of making this is apparent on screen, and I am ‑‑ I’m very, very proud of that. And I hope you all enjoy it.

NOELLE LEWELLYN:  Thank you, Liza.  We really appreciate that.  Thank you, everyone.  Please stay tuned.  Our panel for the CBS original movie “When Christmas Was Young” is up next.

CBS announced today that it has ordered three new original holiday movies to air in December 2022.

Award-winning singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow will executive produce and write the title song for WHEN CHRISTMAS WAS YOUNG, a Nashville music-themed movie from a script by screenwriter and bestselling novelist Robert Tate Miller (“Hope at Christmas,” Forever Christmas).

The movie will be produced by Brad Krevoy’s Motion Picture Corporation of America.

Mark Amato, who has created a dozen holiday-themed films, including last season’s CBS Original movie A CHRISTMAS PROPOSAL, as well as “A Kiss Before Christmas,” is writing MUST LOVE CHRISTMAS. In it, a renowned romance novelist famous for her Christmas-themed books finds herself snowbound in the charming town of Cranberry Falls, where she unexpectedly becomes involved in a love triangle between her childhood crush and a reporter determined to interview her to save his dying magazine. The movie will be produced by Brad Krevoy’s Motion Picture Corporation of America.

In December 2021, the CBS Original movies “Christmas Takes Flight” and “A Christmas Proposal” were the first original holiday television movies to air on CBS since 2012, and the newest additions to CBS’ longstanding holiday programming slate, which includes family-favorites like The Thanksgiving Day Parade on CBS and the annual broadcasts of beloved animated classics, including “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “Frosty the Snowman.”

Update written by Barbara

After finding Jeremy Stark with Diane at Jabot, he wonders aloud how much it’ll cost for Stark to leave Diane alone. He asks Stark how much it will take to get him to leave town. Stark turns down Jack’s monetary offer and leaves after Jack threatens to call security to remove him from the building.

Once Stark is gone, Jack tells Diane that by turning down his money, Stark apparently has a score to settle and that he’s worried for her safety.

They discuss some options, with Jack suggesting that she enter witness protection. She refuses to do that, as it means she’ll have to get a whole new identity and live a life of loneliness.

Diane comes up with an idea, which involves fooling Stark into thinking that she has fled Genoa City. Off camera, she suggests to Jack that she could lay low at the Abbott’s cabin.

Back at the house, Jack agrees to Diane’s plan. They make an arrangement that Kyle will take her to the cabin and help her acquainted with it.

At Society, Tucker rattles Ashley when he says that he thinks she’s in over her head with Stark. He goes one step further and tells her that he thinks her anger at Diane should be redirected at him for sleeping with Diane while he and Ashley were engaged.

He also suggests that Ashley distance herself from Phyllis and Nikki and tells her that Stark is trouble. Tucker makes another case for him and Ashley to get back together and she turns him down but not without letting him know about his persistence and getting a laugh about it.

When Ashley returns home, she finds Diane in Jack arms as he’s comforting her. Jack sees Ashley over Diane’s shoulder, with a look of anger as she gives Jack a questioning look.

Jack privately lets Diane know that he has arranged for security to take her to the hotel to pack up her things so she’ll be ready to leave for the cabin. For Ashley’s benefit, DIane raises her voice and tells Jack goodbye.  She also mentions that she can’t put the family in danger.

Once Diane is gone from the Abbott house, Jack has a heated discussion with Ashley about Diane (supposedly) leaving Genoa City and how Ashley with her cohorts went too far.

At Society, Lily is sitting on the couch looking very sad and pensive while waiting on Devon for a business meeting. Nate comes by and tries unsuccessfully to make peace with her. She is reluctant. Nate goes so far as to mention that he heard about Amanda resigning and going back to Virginia.  Lily shuts him down and tells him this is a family issue that does not concern him.

When Devon arrives at Society and Nate tries to engage him about Amanda’s departure, Devon also shuts him down and says it’s none of Nate’s business.

After Devon and Lily sit down at a table, she tells him that Jill wants to move forward with the IPO. Devon says he needs more time to find out what’s going on in Tucker’s head about the company but doesn’t know how much more time it might take.

When Devon asks Lily what she was talking about with Nate, she tells him that Nate wants forgiveness. She raises a question to Devon about how Nate’s betrayal is any different than Devon betraying Amanda. Devon is annoyed and says that these are they’re completely different situations.

At the Chancellor mansion, Chance watchs Abby play with Dominic before coming into the living room and telling her that he moved the last of his stuff out. He holds his arms out so he can hold Dominic.  Abby walks to a corner of the room, crying. She says that they can arrange a visitation schedule and that Chance can come over whenever he wants to see Dom.

As Chance turns to leave, Abby calls out to him, and says she’s sorry. Chance says he’s sorry also, and describes how their relationship was broken before it really started. He says that what happened with Devon was just the breaking point. He tells Abby that he and Abby got married too fast and had a child before they even got to know each other. Then he went away on a mission and brought back major issues with him when he returned home.

Abby tells him she doesn’t want him to discount the love they had and still have, but he tells her that he’s disconnected from those feelings, he accepts that their marriage is over and he hopes they can both move on.

After leaving the Chancellor house, Chance goes to Crimson Lights and gets a coffee, black. Sharon comes in from the patio and he tells her that he moved out of the house. He’s downcast yet also feels relieved. When he tells Sharon that he’s not ready to open up anymore than that, she lets him know that she’s around if he wants to talk more.

Seeing Abby enter Society and head for the kitchen, Devon immediately excuses himself from the table with Lily and goes over to see Abby. She tearfully tells him that Chance has moved out and their marriage is definitely over. Devon takes her into his arms to comfort her.

Right as Diane’s ready to enter her hotel suite, she runs into Tucker.  When he offers to give her money for a fresh start, she slaps him. She predicts that whatever Tucker’s plans are they will “fail epically”.

Inside her suite, Diane packs up her belongings and looks sadly at an old family photo with Jack and Kyle when he was very little. Over at the Abbott house, Jack has a drink and looks somber and deep in thought.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

So this university police officer is the same one who took Chanel Dre’s statement in the Martha Bedford on side. That’s brilliant. Yeah. This is gonna make her quite a nice, uh, exclusive for Spectator. Yeah. Thanks Emma. I’ll look you up next time in London. Alright, cheers,

Mattie. Good evening, Lois Lane. Have I got a scoop for you? But you’re gonna have to hire me first.

Hey,

you kidding me? Your first day back at Titan. Gotta celebrate. Also happens to be my last day at sj p r. What? I thought things were going right there. Yeah, they were. But you know, Stephanie brought me on to help with the pulling the price campaign. Now she’s been elected governor. So mean the firm has other clients, doesn’t she want.

Stick around and she’ll be fine without me.

You look incredible. Thank you. I would tell you that you also look fantastic, but I suspect you already know it well. I’m always open for compliments for you. Oh, very lovely. You ready to go? Uh, I’m not actually. You’re not. Well, dinner reservations are in like 15 minutes. You certainly look like you’re ready for a night out.

Am I missing something? Uh, actually I thought we could stay in. Oh.

This was a great idea, Sarah. I think we all needed a girls night out. Yes, and I’m glad we finally got to do it. Yes. Funny. What was the eggnog drink that you were telling me about the, when you went to Puerto Rico for that Christmas. What had the coconut rum? Yeah. They called it a coqui toe, right? Yes. I bet that Roman can whip us up a couple of those.

Mm-hmm. . So should I get two with booze and one virgin? Sounds great. Alright, Bonnie, I know what you guys are doing and it’s not gonna work.

Come here. You, we beastie, you and your cockroach friends have had the run in this place for too long. This is my home and I’m gonna send you straight to hell.

Well, you know what? Live and let live my little friend. I mean, who am I to judge? That’s everything I’ve done. No better than you are. Oh, good. Maybe this is Sunday with a massive shoe to put me outta my misery.

Justin, unexpected surprise.

What brings you to Salem’s? Wrong side of the tracks. I just spoke to Bonnie, and you’re in big trouble

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

Doing . We’re not doing anything other than trying to have a good time. Yeah. What are you trying to accuse us of? Trying to cheer me up. Get me to forget about that kidnapping clown. We’re not trying. We’re not trying to, yes. Yes it is. Yes we are. But that’s, it’s why we took you up. Thank you. Thank. Justin told us how upset you are about what that bozo did to you, and he, he thought that you could use a distraction and, and just a night of fun.

I’m not exactly sure if I can actually have fun considering what happened to Susan Banks and what could have happened to me, you know? Well, I hope they catch that circus. They lock him up and they throw away the key. Same. But if they can’t find him, I can only pray that he’s a million miles away from here.

By now

I’m in trouble. What kind of trouble? Come on, Andrew. How long did you think you could keep the truth from me? Well, I mean, I was hoping to, at least I know what’s going. Bonnie told me.

Gals are right. I do need this night out. It’s time. I put this whole nightmare behind me and the best way to do that is to put a strong drink in front of me. Yeah, yeah. There you go. I’m gonna go get in the first round.

So have you talked to, I, yeah, I, I talked to him and I asked him about his job at Rednecks, and then I told him that I thought he might be the clown that kidnapped Bonnie and Susan. Hmm. And what did you say? He denied it and you took him at his word.

You wish I. After he, he swore that he didn’t do anything illegal. I asked if he’d mind if I looked up rednecks to see if it really existed, and I found a website and even a listing for the job that Xander vacated. So that I was legit. No, I’m so relieved. Damn. Me too. I just. I’m so sorry I ever doubted him.

Bonnie told you what she told me about the debt collector who came to the house that, yeah, I mean, I, it turns out I have racked up quite a few creditors, Justin, and I was hoping my new job would remedy you, but it didn’t work out. Maggie said that, uh, your boss asked you to do something that you were uncomfortable.

Yeah, for the first time ever, my function’s got the better of me. Well, good for you. I’m proud of you for having the moral fiber to take a stand and do the right thing. Thanks. Well, unfortunately, doing the right thing doesn’t really pay the bills. True. That type of behavior doesn’t always get rewarded, but.

In this case, I think it could be. I, sir, what do you say? We sue this rednecks for wrongful termination. Sue Rednecks? Mm-hmm. . I am confident that we can make them pay through the nose. I’ll just need the name of your boss who fired.

You want to work at the Spectator as what? As a newsman. What else? I’ve been spilling tea since I left the womb. I mean, look at these stories I already brought you. Yeah. Crap. This doesn’t really look like news to me. Not news. Are you kidding me? Titan, Alex Kiki Mixes business and pleasure with SJ P’S Stephanie Johnson Juicy.

Now Salem’s spicy senior citizen, Julie Williams, questioned by police in connection with geriatric crime sprees. Spoiler alert, she stole a stole juicier. Keep going. Wendy Shin and Johnny Damer. Jet set to Jakarta is love in the air for these two young power. Juiciest. This is, this is not news. This is, this is bloody gossip.

What’s the difference? Look, the spectator is a very respected newspaper. We can’t publish this rubbish. That’s why I intend to write under a nam de plume. In case people get offended and want to come at me with pitchforks and torches. Okay. I know I’m gonna regret asking this, but what is the name? It’s right there on the bottom.

Lady Whistleblower Lady. Whistleblower Lady. Whistleblower lady. Wait, are we just gonna keep saying it over and over again? Don’t you wanna prove to your father that he made the right choice in hiring you? How better than to take his antiquated paper and turn it into a modern success. Come on, gw. I promise I will work my ass off for you.

If you gimme a chance,

I’ll run it by him. Yes, thank you. But you best get used to this headline. Now, wannabe gossip columnist denied, goes from dishing to dishwasher. Do you know if a dishwashing cake, Leo really isn’t your prospects that grim for you? Well, I did get one offer from Johnny Kikis. How’s that happened? Go on, man.

You’ve lost the gossip lady whistleblower. And don’t you leave out any details. So you’re officially done working in SJ p r Well, no, not officially. But you wanna leave? No, I, I, I’ve really loved working in pr. It wasn’t something that I sought out, but it turned out to be really rewarding. It seemed like you and Stephanie got along pretty well.

Yeah, a little too. Mm. Meaning you got a little thing for her, do you?

Oh my God. You do? I did. Well, did she, you know, reciprocate? Uh, it doesn’t matter. It’s too soon after Abby. I, I, I don’t, I don’t want to be involved with anyone. Okay, fine. But did you tell Stephanie that? Yeah, I did. And now she’s moved on. With your brother.

I hope you don’t mind staying in. You kidding me? This is great. But what about your parents? Oof. Suddenly I feel like I’m 16 years old again. Oh, they’re, they’re still in Seattle with trips, so, oh, we have the place go to ourselves. Well, I like that. Should I order some delivery? Oh, why would we do that if I spent all day cooking?

You did not cook me dinner. Mm-hmm. . No you didn’t. Mm-hmm. . Oh my God. Is there anything that you can’t do? Stick with me. Alex. Kiki, you’ll learn. I’m a woman of many talents.

To the end of my reign as c e O of Titan. Sunny’s back. Huh? King is dead long. Live the king.

So how do you feel about it? I’m fine with it. There are some perks to having less responsibility, such as? Such as more time to spend with a certain beautiful woman. Hmm. So you really don’t mind stepping down. I’d rather be here with you. You don’t believe me. I just get the sense that you’re a man who likes being on top.

Okay. That came out wrong. No, it’s okay. You’re right. I do like to be on top. But I’m flexible,

so you’re totally fine with Alex dating. Stephanie, why wouldn’t I be? Steph is great and seems like he, he won her over as sound getting pretty cozy the other day. How was that for me? Fine. Chad. Hey, you don’t have to lie to me. Okay. Yeah. Fun. It sucked. Yeah, of course it did. Because you were jealous. I don’t get it.

Why would you turn down Sunny’s job offer? It never would’ve worked out. It would’ve been a total disaster, actually. And Sunny realized that too after we both had a minute to think about it. How would it have been a disaster? Well, for starters, Sunny’s married to Will Amino at blanket. Between Will and Sonny’s Grumpy Uncle Vic, they would’ve given him nonstop grief over hiring me, and then that old Grmp probably would’ve fired us both.

Mm. I see. Besides after Craig and everything that happened with Abigail, I’m really trying to avoid personal complications in my life right now. Personal complications, what do you mean? Well, like I said, son’s married. Hmm. And married just so happens to be your type. So answer the question. My little brushing friend.

What? No, I’m blushing. Oh yes, you certainly are. Which leads me to believe that you are smitten with curiosity, aren’t you? Yes, you are.

You need my boss’s name? Mm-hmm. . I think we could beg. The case for wrongful termination. She ordered you to do something illegal. You refused, and as she fired you, no, of course it probably would never go to court. Most likely settle. I appreciate the off Justin Burke. I’d rather forget the whole thing happened.

Why? What if I could get you a sizable settlement? Make all your creditors just go away. That way you can put this whole nasty business of redneck behind you and get on with your life. There’s nothing I want more, ever since that horrible, scary time. Everywhere I’d go, I see glass peeking out from another bed hiding around the corner, watching me from across the street.

Oh, I can’t imagine how, how nerve-wracking that is. I keep thinking. What if he comes back from me, ma’am. What if he’s not done? You know? Well, from what I understand, you were an Ava’s target. She, she had that clown take Susan to teach EJ a lesson. Yeah. I you, you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

So you really don’t think he’s coming after me. I mean, according to the police, you are safe.

You. Thank you. All right. You know what, hairs to being safe. You got it.

Thanks. You’re welcome. Dinner’s coming along nicely. Ah, remind me what’s on the menu again. Smells incredible. Uh, short rib fa, short rib fa again, . I, um, I learned to cook it from a neighbor in Seattle. It’s her mom’s recipe from Vietnam. And, uh, in return I taught her how to make dad’s. Sounds like a pretty damn good trade.

Mobi, how do you know a Vietnamese toast? You stick with me, Stephanie Johnson, and you will learn that I’m a man of many talents. Mm.

Cut me off already hardly. I just wanted to set them down so that I don’t spill. When I do this,

Are you sure you’re ready for this? What do you think?

It’s Paulina. She’s calling from jail. Take you. Go ahead. I’m gonna make this so quick. Oh, take your time.

Hey Paulina.

So my best friend and my big brother both want the same. Talk about a conflict of interest. Actually, it’s not, cuz only one of us wants to be with her. So you don’t have to pick a sign. Hello? It does simplify things, but I’m gonna tell you the same thing I told Alex, right? Life is short and love doesn’t always wait until you’re ready.

Okay? So if you like. And she likes you. I think you owe it to you both to give it a shot. I mean, Stephanie’s a grown woman. She can decide who she wants to be with.

I can’t. Not yet. Are you sure? I’m sure. Okay. And I’m hoping that. But now that I’ll, I’ll be around her less, that the feelings will just go away around her. Less meaning staying busy. Find a new job. Well, maybe I can help with that Job. Hunting has become sort of a, uh, specialty of mine. What do you mean? Why, why are you looking for a new job?

Well, I’m not for, it’s not for me. I meant for other people. Oh. But what other people? If I’m blushing, it’s because it’s hot in here. Yeah, right. Sunny and I are just friends. We’re becoming friends even after everything you’ve done to him. Okay, sure. Sunny and I have had our differences, but we’ve put all that behind us.

We’re in the Doover phase. Hmm. Sounds like my relationship with Zander. O, Xander, Xander, who’s also married. Guess that’s your type two. I loved Zander before he was married. Okay. And now he and I have reached a sort of understanding, Ooh, I have a feeling this is juicier than it sounds. Come on, give Lady Whistleblower the gossip complete with photos and texts if possible.

No texts and no photos. This stays completely off the record.

I know I’m probably gonna regret telling you this, but, um, seems that Dr. Goodie two shoes doesn’t know her husband as well as I do. what? Sarah Horton? Yes. Turns out Sandra can tell me things that he cannot tell his adoring life. Tell me, tell me, tell me what did the Scotty Hot do this time?

No, get away from me.

You can’t hurt.

He’s not, that’s not the.

I promise you won’t have to do any heavy lifting for this lawsuit. I’ll just need the name of your ex-boss and the specifics of what she asked you to do, but I just don’t think this is gonna work. Why not? Because it’s complicated and it’s my word against hers, and besides I chose to leave. They didn’t find me.

They didn’t give you any choice. Now, are you sure you don’t want me to at least try? Listen, I really appreciate you wanting to help, boo. Yeah, I’m sure I, well, I’m sorry if I’m pushing too hard. It’s just as I was telling Bonnie the other day, you and I are family and I’d also like to think that we’ve become friends.

We. Which is why I trust you to have my back zander, so I’d like to have yours

look

something I have to tell you.

Leo Stark. Are you serious? What’s, what’s the big deal? We’ve been hanging out a little bit. All right. And he feels terrible about all the crappy things he’s done, and I really think he’s starting to turn over a new leaf. He’s actually, you know, he’s pretty funny. He’s decent. Oh, what? What? What? Nothing. I just, I just find it incredibly strange that you’re, you’re, you’re so forgiving and what you’re, you’re actually enjoying Leo’s company to a point, you know, we’re not like best friends or anything.

How, how does will feel about, about, uh, you hanging out with Leo? Did you tell him? Yes, I told him. Well, I didn’t exactly tell him. Um, Leo answered the phone while was in the other room. How’d that go? Oh, not great. Yeah, not great. Uh, granted, will and I aren’t exactly in the best place right now, what’s going on?

He called me and he told me he’s not coming home for Christmas because he has this big deadline to make and work always comes. Why don’t you find will another job closer to home? Believe me, if I thought I would’ve fixed anything, I would just promised me that You’ll be careful around Leo. I don’t trust him.

Especially after what he did to you and Lou.

Steph, what’s up? I know you thought you and I were done, but you can’t get rid of me that easily. Yeah, actually listen, um, I was thinking Paulina is resigning what she thinks that Stepping Down will protect Abe’s job as Mayor of Salem. I’ll explain it all when you get here, but we need to draft a statement.

I’m at my parents’ place. I’ll be right there.

I’m sorry. I’m not as sorry as I am. We can do this. Dinner and everything else sometime soon. Very soon. Can’t wait.

Blow the daff, would you? What is Xander up to that he can’t tell his wife?

Nevermind. What? No, I shouldn’t have brought it up. Seriously. I sealed my lips and everything. Yeah. Well, you know, I think that it’s probably in everyone’s best interest if I just keep this to myself. And the point is, just like you and Sonny, Zandra and I are now. Building a friendship. Mm. But unlike me and Sunny, you still love him.

Wanna marry him and have his babies? And who’s blushing now? Why not? Oh, you totally are. What? No. Look, I, I still have feelings for Zander. Yes. But I’m not deluding myself with him. I promise you. Just be careful. I don’t wanna see you get hurt again, girlfriend. Right back at your girlfriend. I better time to get to an AA meeting.

Hey, AA Mattie. Oh, no, no, no. It’s just free coffee and donuts. Ah, hey, you’ll talk to Jack about Lady Whistleblower. Yes, I’ll talk to him, but, um, I dunno if you’ll be too excited about the prospect unless you do a brilliant pitch for her. Talk about how clever and witty she is and how she would be a huge asset to any publication.

Please, I’ll do my best. You are the greatest.

Roman, I’m so sorry. You know, maybe next time just a bad review on Yelp. Okay. No, I didn’t mean to hurt you. I, I I thought you were. Yeah. I thought I was a clown. I heard you say that after the blow in my head. Roman, uh, could, could we help you clean up this? No, no, no, no. I think Bonnie needs more attention than my floor does.

Oh, yeah. We’re on it. Thank you. It’s okay. Okay. No. No. Okay. Okay. Okay. I’m not fine. I’m not fine. I’m, I’m not fine. I’m,

all I wanted was to give Sarah A. Good life to prove that I’m worthy of her love. And Arthur, I’ve just made such a mess of all of what, everything I don’t understand. You just offered to represent me so I, this conversation is covered under Attorney Klein privilege. Technically no, but it is covered under Kiki’s cousin privilege.

What’s going on?

I,

I just wanted to let you know that from what you said before about us being friends, you have no idea how much that means to me. Justin and I feel the same. So tell me what this mess is and how I can help.

I, he’s just losing this job and you’re facing down these creditors that I really am trying to be a good husband to Sarah to, to be the kind of man that she deserves. But I feel like there’s something you’re not telling me.

I guess I’m just not used to being vulnerable, especially around other guys. That’s what you’re worried about. People thinking you’ve gone soft. I do have a reputation to a bond. You have a heart. It’s nothing to hide, but your secret is safe with me. Thank. Well, I better head out in case Bonnie needs a ride home.

We’ll see you later.

You know what? This whole rednecks business, I’m still looking into it. No, I, it’s really not necessary, Justin. I know, but I. And I know you may feel uncomfortable being vulnerable and letting someone help you out, but I am pitching in whether you liked or not. It’s just, and I’m gonna keep bothering you until you send me your employment contract, so you better send it to me right away.

See you later, Andrew.

Chad Damara reporting for duty. Thank you for showing up on such short notice. I wouldn’t play away from anything important. It’s okay. It was just hanging out with sunny.

Looks like you had other plans too.

Cheers to you too. Yes, you got another slice and a beer for your old man. Oh, come on. Always nice.

You have to help me. Plan was wrong. Justin was just here. You must to dig into my employment contract at Redneck What? Why he thinks I should sue them for wrongful termination. . Oh, you think this is funny? No, no, of course not. Sorry. Yeah. Um, what, what, what, what can I do? What can I do to help? Well, you, you created a fake website for Redx, didn’t you?

I was hoping that, that I could create an employment contract match. Could you, would you? Well, I suppose it won’t be too difficult. I’ll just find an online template and fill in the. Oh, thank you so much. You are a lifesaver. My pleasure. So you’ll just email it over to me when it’s ready? No, it’s best not to leave an electronic trail with this sort of thing.

Um, I will meet you in the park. Um, I can get there as soon as I can park. It’s a bit cold tonight, isn’t it? Okay, so wear a jacket lander. Do you want Justin off this case or not? Oh, I’ll bring us both to my chocolate. Sounds lovely.

So when you looked at Roman, you saw the sound was coming after me. Bonnie, it’s clear that you’re suffering from ptsd. T S D hallucinations aren’t uncommon. You need to go speak to someone, please. What I need is another. All right. Well it, is it safe to approach ? Please do. I’m sorry. Maybe the jewels aren’t helping.

No, I can do this. Okay. I don’t need, you all fu in over me. I just need to stay focus. Good.

You okay? Did I make the drinks too strong?

I’m apparently not strong enough. Are you alright?

I just need to.

Sarah went for a run. Be back soon. Next.

Dark and cold for a run.

Oh, come on Gwen. Where are you? I’m counting on. Help me out of another mess.

Don’t worry love. I’m going to do everything I can to make sure you are dirty deeds. There are little secret.

So, when’s the baby due? What? I assume that’s why you’re eating for two. Ha ha. No, Chad was here, but he got called away on a work emergency, so he’s not gonna be finishing this delicious looking meal. Doesn’t seem like it. So help yourself. Oh, I couldn’t possib. But if you insist,

so what’s this work emergency? He got called away for? He couldn’t have been too happy about it. Actually. I think he was.

Okay. What’s the tone of our press release? Do you want to go? Contrite, defiant. I was thinking down to earth, honest. And hopeful. I like that. Puts her in the position of, uh, the underdog sets her up for a comeback. Yeah.

Oh, I almost forgot. What’s that? I, I made dinner for Alex, but we didn’t get a chance to eat it. Smells good. What do you miss out on? Uh, short rib fa. You hungry? Am I hungry? I mean, I was just about to eat with Sunny before you called. Yeah. Oh, great. I’ll make it a working dinner. It sounds good to me.

So how are things going with Stephanie? It’s going pretty well, even though our date tonight got interrupted by a work emergency. Oh, so I’m your backup plant. No offense, untaken. Hi guys. Hey Maggie. Did uh, girls Night out get cut short? Uh, yeah. Yeah. We had, uh, some issues. Oh, it’s too bad. Where’s Bonnie?

Jack: Stark.

Jeremy: Jack. It’s good to see you again.

Jack: Wish I could say the same thing. What exactly is going on here?

Jeremy: Oh, just two old friends catching up.

Jack: I am well aware of the nature of your past “friendship” with diane. She’s made that very clear. What I don’t understand is how you are showing up at my home and now here unannounced. This is my place of work. You are not welcome here. Is that clear? Or would calling security fortify my point?

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ]

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Ashley: Anything interesting going on in the world?

Tucker: Hey. Oh, I was just checking the markets.

Ashley: Good or bad?

Tucker: Yes.

[ Laughs ] You look lovely.

Ashley: Oh, thank you. You look nice.

Tucker: Thank you. Very pleased you were available for lunch.

Ashley: Well, I’m not sure you’re gonna find that to be true in 10 minutes. I might not be that great of company today.

Tucker: Uh-oh. Rough morning?

Ashley: Yeah. Um, kyle was really upset with me.

Tucker: Oh. What about?

Ashley: Jeremy stark’s in town.

Tucker: Mm.

Ashley: Yeah. And jack and kyle both think that diane’s in danger, and of course they blame me.

Tucker: Well, if you ask me about —

Ashley: You’re gonna say that she deserves everything she gets — right? — Because she brought it on herself.

Tucker: No. No. That’s actually not what I was gonna say.

Ashley: Oh, okay. What?

Tucker: [ Laughs ] Of all the people I know, you are one of the smartest and most capable and savviest. So please don’t take this the wrong way, but I believe you are in way over your head with this jeremy stark business. And I think it would be wise for you, moving forward, to um, distance yourself from nikki and phyllis.

Nate: [ Sighs ]

Lily: Nate.

Nate: Lily. I hope this won’t be a problem.

Abby: Well, louise is gonna take you to the park. And — yeah — you can swing and you can feed the ducks. But it’s cold outside, so we got to get our jacket on ’cause it’s “brrr!” “Brrr!” Yeah.

Chance: I’m all set. That’s the last of my things. I’ve got it loaded in the car now.

Abby: [ Sniffles ]

Chance: Alright. Let’s hang out for a bit. Yeah.

Lily: For what?

Nate: For agreeing to let elena do a few more podcasts and then return to newman media.

Lily: Yeah, well, I’ll be upset to lose the content and her talent, but I don’t want to force her to stay with us if she’d rather work with you.

Nate: I appreciate that. And I know she does, too.

Lily: I think people do their best work where they’re happiest.

Nate: I couldn’t agree more.

Lily: [ Sighs ] Clearly we’re gonna avoid the elephant in the room.

Nate: I assumed that was by design.

Lily: Look, nate… devon is really angry. And I am, too. But I’m also… I’m hurt. And I’m confused. Like, I just don’t understand how you could betray us like that.

Nate: Listen, lily. I’m sorry it all fell apart. My hope is one day that we can find a way to work through this, come together as a family.

Lily: You broke our trust. And trust is everything when it comes to family.

Nate: But I didn’t do what i did in a void. Devon played a part. I believe you realize that deep down. And at least you have a forgiving heart.

Ashley: So, you’ve done a 180?

Tucker: Yeah, I suppose i have.

Ashley: You suppose you have? No, you have, considering you’re the one that gave me the information that actually connected diane to stark.

Tucker: True. It’s just that, um, upon further reflection, I’ve changed my mind about a couple of things.

Ashley: Such as?

Tucker: Well, like the way the three of you were conspiring to humiliate diane and — and destroy her life and chase her out of town. It’s a bit heavy-handed and not terribly fair to her, either.

Ashley: Well, now you’re defending diane.

Tucker: No, I’m not defending her. No, I just — I’ve actually been wondering lately if your hatred of her is not partially my fault.

Ashley: Well, don’t stop now. I’m intrigued. I want to hear this theory.

Tucker: Well, it’s not much of a theory, really. It’s just that, um, all those years ago, when I cheated on you with her…

Ashley: Mm, mm-hmm.

Tucker: …I betrayed you in the worst way. And I was your fiancĂ©. So I’m the one you ought to be mad at. Diane should not have to bear the brunt of all your rage, at least not to the point where you’re working overtime to — to send her into exile. ‘Cause my fling with her was absolutely all my fault. I own that now.

[ Laughing ] What?

Ashley: Are you for real?

Tucker: I’m not saying that your feelings for her are not justified. You never could stand her, right?

Ashley: Yeah, for good reason.

Tucker: Right. The point I’m trying to make is that I get where you’re coming from in a way that, uh — that jack and kyle obviously cannot. But, ashley, jeremy stark is trouble, and, uh, it’s my advice that you redirect your anger back at me, that you separate yourself from nikki and phyllis, let them handle this for a while.

Jeremy: [ Laughing ] Ohh. I’m impressed. Your new partner has such gravitas. Well done, you. But I have to admit, it was much more friendly the other day when I dropped by the house. What was it that jack said? Oh, yes — “any friend of diane’s is always welcome.” My, how quickly we change our mind. I hope you haven’t been speaking unkindly of me.

Jack: I read the article about you being released from prison, detailing all the crimes you’ve committed. Now I formed my own opinions, all of which led me to, you are not someone I want hanging around.

Jeremy: You know, you and your son have grossly misinterpreted my intentions. You think I want to hurt diane?

Diane: [ Scoffs ] As i suspected, you’re under the false impression that I worked with the authorities to get you convicted and put away.

Jack: Wait, why would he think that?

Diane: Because jeremy received an anonymous tip. But I’ve assured him it’s not true.

Jeremy: And I assured diane i didn’t care one way or the other.

Diane: I find that hard to believe.

Jeremy: Even if you cooperated with the authorities in ways in which it led to my little time-out from the world, who could blame you? Certainly not I. I used you rather shamelessly for my own personal gain, which put you in self-preservation mode. So, no, I hold no animosity. And, frankly, you should know that because the whole reason why you’re free and never implicated in my crimes is because I never mentioned your name to the fbi, not once. I protected you. And that’s why you’re here, happily reunited with your family, right? Because of my good will, not because you struck some deal for immunity. Now, there is a financial situation that we need to discuss, but that’s just between you and me.

Jack: How much? How much will it cost for you to leave diane alone? Dupixent helps you du more with less asthma.

Diane: No, jack, he is not here to pay my debts or fight my battles.

Jeremy: Well, like I said before, we have something that we need to discuss, just the two of us. But we’ll sort it out, right, di? Maybe some sort of a payment plan?

Diane: There is nothing to pay off. I don’t owe you a thing.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] Well, we’ll have to agree to disagree on that one.

Jack: Since you’ve turned down my offer, I think we’re done here. I’d like you to leave my building. And don’t come back here or to my home.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] Okay. Have a nice day.

Diane: Ugh. The more he smiles, the more convinced him that I’m in serious danger.

Jack: I agree. If he was just after money, he would have taken my offer. No, he’s — he’s here to settle a score.

Tucker: No dessert? Come on. Live a little.

Ashley: Yeah. Uh, I’m not done talking about diane. I’m sorry. There’s something I need to clarify.

Tucker: Sure.

Ashley: Uh, I never, ever wanted things to escalate the way they have. I just wanted her out of town.

Tucker: Okay. Even if it means tearing her away from the only family she has left?

Ashley: Oh, come on, tucker. I mean, clearly, I never wanted to hurt kyle.

Tucker: Mm. But diane is fair game.

Ashley: Yeah. I guess so. She devastated that little boy to save her own skin, so I don’t have any sympathy for her.

Tucker: Mm. Well, given what dina did to you for her own selfish reasons, i totally appreciate why you would feel that way. However, um, there’s a big difference between not having any sympathy for diane and — and running her out of town.

Ashley: Okay, this is a lot more than not having sympathy for her. I mean, there’s a lot of reasons why I want diane out of town. How about the fact that she faked her death? Who does that? We all got arrested for it. Me. And, you know, I don’t want her sinking her fangs into my brother again. And, yes, perhaps there is a little residual outrage, the fact that she slept, had sex with my fiancĂ©. And that would be you, tucker. She had sex with you, tucker.

Tucker: Yes, I know. That’s what I’m trying to tell you. So, let me have that anger. I, uh — I have learned to take responsibility for my mistakes because I have changed, right? Haven’t we both changed? And isn’t it time that we let go of the painful past and stop letting it dictate our future?

Ashley: I love that.

Tucker: What?

Ashley: I love it that you want me to let go of my anger when it’s actually your past actions that need letting go of.

Tucker: Mm. God. I love you. And that is what I love about us, that we are equally matched. ‘Cause you see me, right? But I see you, too. You know, when you ended things, I recall you saying to me, “love isn’t enough.” And looking back at those days, I understand why it wasn’t, I mean, considering what I did to you and — and where we were as people back then. But if time passes and people evolve and — and two people come to have a deeper understanding, a deeper connection with each other, isn’t that enough? I mean, at least as a foundation to grow on? Aren’t we both wiser now and have enough life experience to [Sighs] — To realize what we lost? ‘Cause I know you know how good it was.

[ Chuckles ] Can you imagine how much better it would be now if we just gave us one more chance?

Chance: Louise just took dom to the park.

Abby: [ Sighs ] Good, good.

Chance: I should probably get going now.

Abby: Um, before you go, we should probably talk about schedules for visitation.

Chance: Yeah, sure.

Abby: I hope you know that you’re welcome to come by and see dominic anytime you’d like.

Chance: Yeah. I’ll be sure to call first.

Abby: Um, I know your schedule at the precinct is pretty unpredictable, so I told louise to make sure that you had first priority when I’m not home.

Chance: I appreciate that. Thank you for the flexibility.

Abby: Of course.

Chance: I’m gonna make spending time with him a priority. I promise.

Abby: Yes, um, ’cause consistency is really important for dominic. I would never want him to feel abandoned.

Chance: Okay, well, um… you take care. I’ll see you guys soon.

Abby: [ Voice breaking ] Chance, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. Can you believe that? I’m jonathan lawson

Jack: Should we be involving the police in this? I mean, surely he is violating his parole with these menacing visits.

Diane: [ Sighs ] So far, he hasn’t threatened me outright. That’s the way jeremy works. It’s all innuendo. If we bring in the police, it’ll just make him even more angry.

Jack: Well, what was in your immunity deal? There had to be some protection. At least you could insist he not contact you.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Invoking that might only make things worse. I mean, it’d be admitting to jeremy that I lied, that i informed on him.

Jack: Yeah, I can see your point there.

Diane: Okay, I think the smartest thing to do is to stick to the story that I had nothing to do with him getting caught.

Jack: There is one other idea you might need to consider.

Diane: What’s that?

Jack: I know you explained why you didn’t go into the witness protection program when he was arrested. Maybe you could get the feds to offer the same thing now that he’s out and coming after you.

Diane: Jack, no! No. I didn’t fight this hard to get back here to kyle and — and harrison and you… just to leave it all behind and start over again with a new identity. No, I will not be intimidated into going back to that lonely life. We need to — we need to figure this out on our own.

Jack: Okay. Okay. I understand. I do. After meeting him, I am seriously worried about your safety.

Diane: That makes two of us.

Jack: I thought offering him money was a slam dunk. Apparently, I was wrong.

Diane: Alright, there might be another way out of this.

Ashley: Thanks again for lunch.

Tucker: You bet. Glad you enjoyed it. Even though you did dodge my questions.

Ashley: Mm. Okay, well, I can give you a couple answers, I guess. I still haven’t seen a huge amount of evidence that you’ve actually changed.

Tucker: [ Scoffs ]

Ashley: Well, I haven’T.

Tucker: Fantastic.

Ashley: And I am not prepared to, um, give our romantic relationship another shot.

Tucker: Ah. You’re killing me here.

Ashley: But I will say you are nothing if not persistent.

Tucker: [ Laughs ] Wow! What a victory! I am — I am going to take a victory lap on that one.

Ashley: You should. I’m gonna sweeten it, too. I’m gonna tell you that i appreciate your insight into my anger. And I promise you that I’m going to try to direct some of my diane vitriol right at you.

Tucker: You’re welcome.

[ Clears throat ] And you know me. I’m never gonna count myself out ’cause you and I are meant to be.

Ashley: Have a nice day.

Tucker: You too.

[ Glass thuds ]

Chance: I’m sorry, too, abby. And I just want to reiterate that I don’t think one thing led to all this or one person is at fault here. I mean, looking back, I think it’s an accumulation of a lot of things. I think we got married too fast. I think we tried to have a kid before we really knew each other. And then I just left on that assignment months after our wedding. I mean, I know that caught you off guard, and it royally messed me up. And what I went through over there and what I brought back here and what I struggled to heal from — I mean, it’s not exactly what newlyweds dream of. What I think it comes down to is I think we are just two different people. And I think we need different things to make us happy. And unfortunately, we can’t give each other those things. As much as we want to, we can’T. And all, you know, this, you and devon — I think this is just the breaking point. But in probability, I think we have been doomed since the beginning.

Abby: [ Voice breaking ] Don’t say that. Please don’t say that because it diminishes everything that we had, all the love that we had for each other, the love that we still have for each other. I know it’s there. I know it’s underneath all of this pain.

Chance: I’m less certain of that. I’ve disconnected from those feelings, abby. Too much has happened. I’ve accepted that it’s over, and I hope you can, too, so we can just move on with our lives.

Abby: [ Sniffles, sighs ]

[ Sobs ]

Chance: [ Breathes deeply ]

Lily: I want to be able to get past this. But don’t rush me. And don’t push devon, either, because it’s a lot harder for him to forgive.

Nate: I am well aware of that. I’m curious what else is going on with devon.

Lily: What are you talking about?

Nate: I got a message from imani saying that she and amanda were staying in virginia, that something upsetting happened and amanda resigned?

Lily: That’s a family issue, nate. And, sadly, that’s none of your concern now.

Diane: So, what do you think? Will it work?

Jack: I hate that we’re being forced into this. But, yeah, your plan makes sense.

Diane: It’s the least awful solution I could come up with on the fly.

Jack: So, kyle takes you to the cabin, gets you settled in there, he comes back here, you lay low there, and stark thinks you fled in fear and hopefully moves on.

Diane: I hate having to leave for any length of time, but i think it’s safest for everyone involved. Me being here puts the whole family at risk. You know, let jeremy think that I ran off and disappeared. And if nikki and phyllis and ashley think that, too, then maybe they’ll believe they finally succeeded in getting rid of me and leave me alone.

Jack: Yeah.

Diane: You know, phyllis seemed a little nervous around jeremy earlier. Maybe she finally realized that she’s playing with fire.

Jack: Wait, what are you talking about now?

Diane: [ Sighs ] Well, I was with phyllis at jabot when jeremy just showed up. And he thinks he recognized her voice as the person who called him to tell him where to find me and that I ratted him out.

Jack: God, is this war between you two ever going to end, or is that just too much to ask for?

Diane: Jack, I — I didn’t — I didn’t bring this up to upset you, just to let you know that i haven’t been hurling false accusations. My fears are well founded. And right now they are telling me that we need to put this plan in motion.

Jack: Okay, okay, okay, okay. Kyle and I are going to make sure nothing happens to you.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

[ Door opens ]

“The young and the restless”

will continue. There’s something new from better than bouillon

Diane: [ Sighs ] I need to get back to the hotel and get my things.

Jack: Yeah.

Diane: Okay.

Jack: I’ll walk you to the door.

Diane: Okay.

Jack: Hey, hey. I have jabot security. They’re gonna accompany you to the hotel. They will wait for you and kyle, and then they will escort you up to the cabin.

Diane: I’ll be in touch when I can.

[ Loudly ] Goodbye, jack. I appreciate everything you’ve done, but I-I-I can’t put you or your family in jeopardy. Thank you for everything.

[ Door closes ]

Ashley: What’s going on?

Jack: I hope you’re happy. Diane is leaving town, running away from jeremy stark, who’s made it very clear he is out to get her. Thanks to your friends and you, she may never return.

Chance: Small coffee, black.

Sharon: Hey. Uh, your expression looks much like it did right after rey died.

Chance: Well, my marriage is over. I just moved out, said, uh, my goodbye to abby.

Sharon: Chance, I’m so sorry. I know how hard that can be.

Chance: Yeah. It was tough. I don’t know why. You know, packing up all my things, knowing I’m not gonna wake up in the morning to my wife and my son. My life doesn’t revolve around my family anymore. I’m sad. A bit numb.

Sharon: Well, it’s hard not to feel overwhelmed at a time like this.

Chance: I’m a bit relieved, too, though. I was trying to make something true that wasn’T. Just another reason why this divorce had to happen.

Devon: Was there a problem with our table or…

Lily: No, no, no. We can sit any time. I was just waiting for you.

Devon: Okay.

Nate: I heard amanda was staying in virginia. Did something happen between you two?

Devon: Does that sound like it’s any of your business? The nerve of him wanting to talk about my personal life.

Lily: [ Sighs ] Um, look…

Devon: Hmm?

Lily: …Before we order, i just want to let you know that i spoke to jill.

Devon: What’d she say?

Lily: She wants to move forward with the ipo. She feels like we’ve waited long enough and that because nate is not with the company, he can’t sell his shares to victoria, so there’s no longer a threat. And she wants to move forward. Unless — what? I mean, do you think that tucker is still up to something?

Tucker: Someone’s in a hurry.

Diane: I hope you’re happy. It’s all come to a head because of you.

Tucker: Am I supposed to guess what you’re referring to?

Diane: Oh, you know damn well what I’m talking about. It’s jeremy stark.

Tucker: Ah.

Diane: Ever since he arrived, he has been breathing down my neck, and now I have to leave because it’s too dangerous.

Tucker: Are you leaving?

Diane: Yeah.

Tucker: Oh, good. That’s the wise choice. Although I don’t think I can take all the credit. I’m not the one who — who smuggled cash out of the country for an international criminal. I believe that was you. But, uh, for whatever it’s worth, I feel for you.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Tucker: Rock and a hard place and all that. Hey, do you need money or anything to help you get you on your feet wherever you end up — ugh! Announcer: Type 2 diabetes?

Tucker: That was a good one.

Diane: [ Sighs ] You’re going to crash and burn here, too. You are deluded if you think you will ever win ashley back, and you will never outsmart jack.

Tucker: Yeah, we’ll see.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] You know what? I have half a mind to call devon and warn him not to trust you under any circumstances. But you know what? It really won’t make a difference because whatever your plans are, they are going to fail epically.

[ Door slams ]

Ashley: I think diane leaving town is the best solution for everybody.

Jack: Oh, I’m sure you do think that. Let’s just be clear, though. She didn’t go out of town. She was forced out of town by you three forcing her hand. I couldn’t be more disappointed in you.

Ashley: Well, I’m sorry you feel that way.

Jack: But you’re not sorry for your behavior. You know, your initial attempts to shame diane were small and petty and juvenile, like a — a clique of high school mean girls. But this? Luring a felon into town to harass her? It’s — it’s beyond the pale. And you could get her killed.

Ashley: I had nothing to do, absolutely nothing to do with stark coming to town.

Jack: Please. That is so much bull. As far as I’m concerned, the three of you are equally guilty. Maybe you didn’t pick up the phone and call him. As a matter of fact, I have learned that stark seems to think phyllis is the one that tipped him off. You all wanted her out of town so badly, you would do anything. Well, you’ve gone too far, ash, much too far.

Devon: Thank you. Uh, what were we talking about?

Lily: Tucker. Does he pose a threat if we go public?

Devon: Right. Uh, I’m gonna say, yes, he does, just because we don’t know for sure what his intentions are. We can guess all we want, but that’s all it’s ever gonna be, is a guess. He could have a bunch of plans that we can’t predict.

Lily: Yeah, but, devon, i don’t want to put jill off and put off the potential growth of our company for some what-ifs.

Devon: You’re gonna have to if you want to give me more time to find out what’s going on in his head.

Lily: Well, how much time do you want?

Devon: I don’t know. What were you and nate talking about when I came in here?

Lily: [ Sighs ] He wants to earn our forgiveness.

Devon: And how do you feel about that?

Lily: I’m just trying to look at things from both sides, you know, see if there’s some way we can move past this.

Devon: Well, good luck with that.

Lily: [ Sighs ] Let me just ask you a question.

Devon: What?

[ Sighs ]

Lily: Is nate betraying us any worse than how you betrayed amanda?

Devon: Are you joking right now? Why would you go there at all?

Lily: No, I’m just — I’m just — I’m just asking. I’m just asking. It’s a “yes” or “no.”

Devon: It’s a completely different situation, is what it is.

Lily: Well, point is, is that you did something hurtful that you regret, and you want amanda’s forgiveness, right?

Devon: Mm-hmm.

Lily: Okay. So, how is that any different than nate wanting our forgiveness? Listen, I’m done settling. Because this is my secret.

Devon: [ Sighs ]

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Devon: Listen, man, nate doesn’t deserve our forgiveness because what he did was calculated. He planned the whole thing. Think about how much time he and victoria spent strategizing against us. What abby and I did just happened. We didn’t set out to hurt anybody. We didn’t plan anything. And we don’t feel good about it. Nate doesn’t seem like he regrets anything. Hey, hang on one second. I’ll be right back, okay?

Lily: [ Sighs ]

Sharon: Do you want to sit down and talk some more?

Chance: Oh, um… thank you, sharon, but not now. It still feels a little fresh.

Sharon: I understand.

Chance: But, hey, when all this settles down and I can process everything, I don’t feel like I got hit by semi, you know, I’d love to take you up on that offer.

Sharon: Well, whenever you’re ready, I’ll be here.

[ Footsteps departing ]

Abby: Devon?

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Hi.

Devon: Abby, you alright?

Abby: [ Sniffles ] I’ve been better. Chance packed his things and he left today.

[ Voice breaking ] It’s really over.

[ Sniffles ]

Devon: Sorry.

Abby: [ Breathes deeply ]

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Nate: This is quite the touchy subject for you, isn’t it? Makes me wonder — what in the world could you have done to mess things up with amanda?

Billy: I don’t think there’s anything you need to make amends for or apologize for.

Chelsea: That’s nice of you to say, but we both know it’s not true.

Billy: So we are talking about what happened in myanmar.

Tucker: If I were to propose to you that you quit your family business and let me help you build your own empire, what would you say to that?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Liam: Good to see you.

Carter: Good to see you.

Eric: All right. So steffy wants us all in here as soon as possible. Right away. Has she given any reason?

Carter: Not to me.

Brooke: No. She just said asap.

Liam: Well, it’s not business, right? ‘Cause why am I here?

Hope: I mean, do you think it’s about maybe ridge and taylor not getting married?

Carter: I heard taylor left town.

Eric: Yeah. Ridge did too.

Hope: But they didn’t leave together.

Brooke: No. I urged ridge to take some time for himself and figure out what it is he wants. I love him, but he needs to commit to me. We can’t do this back and forth with taylor.

Hope: Proud of you for that. I-I still can’t believe that that wedding almost went through though, based on a lie.

Liam: Well, it goes to show thomas’ scheme almost worked.

Eric: I still can’t believe that he did this. That he– that he used douglas’s app on his phone to make his voice sound like yours. So it sounded like you were turning him in to– to child protective services. Who does that? So disappointed in him.

Hope: So am I.

Carter: Has anyone heard from thomas?

Eric: No. He’s keeping a pretty low profile.

Hope: Well, the good news is douglas is back home with liam, beth, and me.

Hope: Thank god for that. No offense, eric.

Eric: None taken.

[ Door opens ]

Steffy: Hi.

Finn: Hey everyone. Thank you for meeting so quickly.

[ Door closes ]

Steffy: I know you’re wondering why we wanted to see you. Finn and I have some shocking news. Sheila carter is alive.

[ Door opens ]

Deacon: Where the hell have you been?

Sheila: Talking like you missed me.

Deacon: Sheila, you can’t be running around la like this.

Sheila: Hello. I am in disguise in case you didn’t notice. You are giving me a serious case of whiplash, deacon. I– you want me gone and then the next minute you’re upset because I didn’t stay put. You can’t have it both ways. Although given your reaction action, I’d have to say you do want me up close and personal.

Deacon: Stop fooling around. I thought you got caught.

Sheila: [ Chuckles ] Caught? Who’d be looking? Everyone thinks I’m dead.

Deacon: Not anymore.

Sheila: What do you mean?

Deacon: I mean, steffy and finn figured it out. They know you’re alive.

Sheila: No. No. No, no. No!

Brooke: What are you saying?

Liam: Wait, you– are you serious?

Eric: That’s not possible.

Hope: Sheila was mauled by a bear.

Carter: There’s no way she could have survived that.

Finn: That’s what we thought too.

Steffy: What we were supposed to think.

Finn: Steffy and I believed that we have proof that sheila is most definitely alive.

Sheila: Okay. So what’s this game you’re playing?

Deacon: I’m not playing any game. I’m just telling you what happened last night.

Sheila: Finn and steffy figured out that I’m alive.

Deacon: Yep.

Sheila: You’re exaggerating. You– are just messing with me so I leave peacefully?

Deacon: Sheila, they were here last night.

Sheila: Finn and steffy were here.

Deacon: Yes. And imagine my surprise. But I was a lot more surprised to learn that they know you’re still alive.

Sheila: But how? I mean, there’s no possible way they–

Deacon: Your toe. Your crazy smart gifted son, the doctor, he took a look at it, put it under a microscope, and figured out it was cut off. Not that it was chewed, not that it was gnawed off by some wild animal.

Sheila: No, no. No. You’re saying this just to freak me out.

Deacon: Are you kidding? I’m the one who’s been freaking out. Don’t you get it? This is the end of the line. You gotta get the hell out of la and never come back.

Wondering what actually goes

into your multivitamin?

Hope: This is insane. Sheila cut off her own toe.

Carter: I’m not saying I’m doubting you, but it’s hard to believe she pulled this off.

Steffy: What she did is diabolical.

Carter: Aside from the toe, is there any other evidence?

Finn: There’s bloody clothing that appeared to be torn, not clawed. And she could have used the severed toe to cover it with blood.

Brooke: With anybody else involved, this scenario would seem unbelievable. But now knowing that sheila’s at the center, this– this is all making horrible sense.

Eric: Did you talk to the police about this?

Finn: Right before we got here. The forensics team is reinvestigating.

Carter: Okay. According to you, the toe tells the tale. It’s cut off this case closed. But if that’s the case, then why were the cops so quick to accept sheila’s death?

Finn: All the pieces seem to add up. I mean– I mean, full disclosure, we’re not saying with a hundred percent absolute certainty that sheila is alive.

Steffy: But it is what we believe.

Eric: Well, if it’s true, if sheila is out there, we all have to be very careful.

Steffy: Yes. We already have a security team ready to go.

Hope: I wonder where she could be hiding out.

Steffy: We asked your father the exact same question.

Sheila: Are you sure you just didn’t misunderstand finn and steffy?

Deacon: Seriously? Seriously? What, you think I don’t speak english? No. There was no room for misinterpretation here. They think, they know that you faked your own death. Look, the circumstances have changed sheila dramatically exactly the way I said they would.

Sheila: You should just calm down. Okay? They have a theory, but they can’t prove anything.

Deacon: They’ve seen the evidence. Your son, the doctor, he looked at the toe under a microscope.

Sheila: Still, it’s only his opinion.

Deacon: Sheila, the cops are gonna see this. They’re gonna reopen the investigation and then they’re gonna be convinced too. All right? You– you hear that sound? You know what that is? That’s the walls closing in, babe.

Sheila: Stop panicking.

Deacon: Really? Stop panicking. When the hell should– should I panic, when the cops are dragging our ass back to prison? Would that be a good time?

Sheila: We’re– we’re not– we’re not–

Deacon: I can’t do this I can’t do this anymore. All right. I am done. I cannot risk everything that I have built. I can’T. You need to leave.

Sheila: Deacon I just–

Deacon: Sheila, please. I don’t wanna see you go down. I don’t, but I can’t prop you up anymore. I can’t do it. I gotta think of my– I gotta think of myself and I gotta think of my daughter.

Sheila: How many times do I have to tell you counting me out is a big mistake.

Deacon: You keep talking about second chances and– and– and ways out. Don’t you get it? There isn’t one. The cops are going to find you and it cannot be here. You need to leave today.

Restless nights fogging up

your day?

Hope: You spoke to my father?

Finn: We thought he might know something.

Hope: Well, he would have nothing to do with this. He’s trying to better himself in his life.

Steffy: Yeah, but deacon and sheila had a thing. I mean, you two saw them at il giardino together.

Hope: Yeah, but that was a very long time ago.

Steffy: We only asked a few questions.

Liam: Like what?

Steffy: If he’d seen or heard from sheila.

Finn: And if he had any idea where she might be hiding out.

Eric: And?

Steffy: He was as shocked as us.

Carter: Aren’t we all.

Finn: The bottom line is deacon says he hasn’t heard from sheila and has no idea where she might be.

Brooke: [ Exhales ] God, the thought of sheila being alive.

Finn: Look we– we don’t have any definite proof yet.

Liam: But– but you believe this, right?

Finn: With every instinct I have.

Steffy: Same. We know she’s out there. But we’re gonna find her and put her behind bars where she belongs.

Sheila: So finn and steffy put it all together. Wow. You know, if– if it didn’t threaten my existence, I would be so proud my son is brilliant.

Deacon: You’re certifiable. You know that? You’re– you’re really gonna go there? Okay, great. You know, whatever. Be proud of your son. Just hit the bricks doing it. All right? Go do it somewhere else.

Sheila: Okay. I know. I know I– I can’t– I can’t stay here any longer.

Deacon: Oh my god. Oh my god. She’s got it. She’s seen the light. Perfect. I’ll get your bag for you. Okay? Look, I’m sorry, I don’t mean to throw you out, but it’s just gotten too damn risky. They can come back anytime.

Sheila: I know. I– I get it. I am gonna figure a way out of this.

Deacon: Look, sheila, I don’t wanna be debbie downer here, but finn and steffy, they are like two dogs with a bone. They aren’t gonna be happy until you’re behind bars.

Sheila: That’s never gonna happen. I’m not going down and neither are you. I appreciate you. You gave me a place to stay. Human contact. And we even had some laughs together, didn’t we? I am not gonna betray that. No one is ever gonna know where I’ve been staying all this time.

Deacon: Biggest mistake I ever made letting you stay here.

[ Laughs ]

Sheila: Oh come on. It wasn’t all bad, was it, daddy?

Finn: I’m surprised you wanted to come here after what happened in the alley.

Steffy: I like the food. And I’m not gonna give up a single thing that gives me pleasure just because of sheila carter.

Finn: It’s a good answer.

Steffy: But we do have to keep our guard up. Sheila poses a great threat and we have to protect ourselves and our children. But this, the joy that we have, I’m not gonna let sheila take it away from us. I mean, it was quite the bombshell we dropped at forrester, right?

Finn: Yeah. No one was expecting us to say sheila was still alive.

Steffy: I know. I’m just glad mom and dad are out of town. Especially mom. Sheila thought her and my mom were best friends. How are you doing? You haven’t said much about knowing that your– your birth mother is still alive. How is it affecting you?

Finn: Well, you know how I feel about sheila. She shot me, steffy. And I possibly may have been able to get over that, but she shot you, the woman that I love more than anything in this world.

Avoiding triggers, but still

get migraine attacks?

Sheila: [ Deep sigh ] So what are you thinking? Or do I even wanna know?

Deacon: I was just thinking about this smoking hot redhead who zeroed in on me at work and then followed me back here for the hottest hookup ever.

Sheila: Oh, finally. You finally admitted it.

Deacon: You know, sheila, I have become oddly used to you. I’m gonna miss having you around.

Sheila: I know. I– I’ve never had many friends, deacon, and you’ve been a good one.

Deacon: Be careful out there.

Sheila: Don’t worry, I’m– I’m gonna be fine.

Deacon: I don’t know, babe. Something tells me that this is gonna be the last time I see you without bars between us.

Sheila: Well, I wouldn’t put your money on that. I’m not going back to prison.

Deacon: I hope not.

Sheila: I guess this is it. Go your way and I go mine.

Deacon: Do you have any idea where you’re headed?

Sheila: It’s probably best if you don’t know.

Deacon: Yeah. Good luck, sheila.

Sheila: I’ll take it.

[ Door closes ]

Brooke: If sheila’s still alive, where has she been this whole time?

Hope: Maybe some out of the way motel.

Liam: It’d kinda have to be that. Right? ‘Cause, I– I can’t imagine anybody wanting to harbor sheila carter. At this point, everybody knows how dangerous she is.

Carter: Maybe some old prison pal.

Eric: Could be any of the above. She’s very resourceful.

Brooke: And desperate. I mean, you’d have to be to do something as stomach-churning as cutting off your own toe.

Steffy: I’m so impressed with you the way you figured out sheila faked her own death.

Finn: It was nothing really. I just was falling a hunch.

Steffy: It’s crazy to think that she’s still out here doing what? Planning what?

Finn: Hey, the cops are on it now. Okay. They’re gonna ramp up a search. They’re gonna get her.

Steffy: When I think about everything she put us through, the shooting, holding you captive. And I thought I lost you forever.

Finn: You feel that? It’s me. I’m right here. It all worked out.

Steffy: Thank god. I mean, when I heard your voice in monaco and I saw you near that church.

Finn: Steffy!

Steffy: I knew I got my miracle.

[ Church bell ringing ]

Finn: I missed you so much.

Steffy: You’re alive. You’re alive.

Finn: Nothing was gonna stop me from getting back to you. When sheila was holding me hostage, I knew that I had one job and that was to get my strength back so I could get home to you, to our family. Nothing in this world can even come close to how much I love you. Okay? And I hope those are happy tears.

Steffy: [ Chuckles ] They definitely are. Ugh, mascara on me. I love you. I’m gonna go check my mom, give her a call. Okay? I’ll be right back.

Liam: Yeah.

Steffy: But I love you. That was really sweet.

Steffy: Yeah, mom. I’m– I’m glad that you got some time away and you know, you’re figuring things out. Just gotta go through it and know that, like, I completely understand where you’re coming from and know that– oh my– oh my gosh. Oh my goodness. I am– I’m so– I am so sorry. I– wow. Mom, I’ll call you back. I’m so sorry. Did I get that on you? I got it on me.

Sheila: No, no, no.

Steffy: No, let me just see. I just wanna check. I feel terrible. I’m so so–

Steffy: [ Gasps ] Sheila!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 You were looking for me. Hmm? Me. Shut the door.

Um, what’s this about? Well, it’s about your sister Lee, the company Jet and the city of Jakarta in that order, I know what your sister’s been up to, Lee, and so do you, don’t you?

Thank you for coming. I’m sorry to tell you from work. That’s no problem. Stop for a lunch break. Anyway. My message may get some urgent. It is. It is. I have something to ask you about your brother.

Wait, so Ava caused a crash that killed your grandmother and she’s dead too. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, I, uh, she tried to get away, drove off the road with my grandmother in the backseat. Was it an accident? Uh, I, I don’t, I don’t know. You know, my dad, my dad seems to think that she crashed the car on purpose.

Oh my God. That’s,

VJ Damara, don’t let me ever hear you take the Lord’s name of van ever again. Did you hear me?

This is who you hired as your lawyer, Nicole, please. Oh, no, no, no. I recognize the name. My soon-to-be ex-husband is police Commissioner Ray Fernandez. So I’ve heard quite a bit about you. All good? I assume. Oh, well, I’m sorry that I can’t return the same sentiment you see my. Client here hasn’t exactly told me much about you yet.

From what I’ve gathered, you’re the reason why his girlfriend aborted their baby

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

Excuse me, but that is not true. What the hell, Eric Jada is the one who took your baby from you, not me, but yet when it’s out, blame Eve, right? Father? And other thing that surprises me is seeing you turn around and hire the serpent herself as your lawyer. Low life. You know, I find it curious, you casting aspersions when you yourself are in bed with Mr.

Loli.

My apologies sister. I didn’t know you were coming, seeing you after everything was, that was quite a shock that Aunt, sister, Mary, moreover, banks to you. Yes, of course. Damn. Are you gonna invite me in and tell me what Jesus’ name happened to my four sister or not?

Yeah. My, my dad, you know, he, he went after Ava for, for lying about her marriage to Jake defrauding the company for his shares. And I, I, I, I don’t know. She, she, she must have just lost it, so she was going down anyway. Might as well take someone with her. And punish your dad in the process. Right? Oh, Johnny, I feel so terrible for you and for Tripp to lose his mom in this way.

I, I can’t even imagine. And you, you lost your sweet grandmother. Oh, Johnny, I am so sorry.

Um, I, I’m not sure what, Getting out of found my sister, Stephanie.

Okay, we’ll do it that way.

You see, a couple of weeks ago I was gonna take Chloe on this romantic getaway. We’re gonna fly to Miami. So when I called to book the company, jet, you know the jet that’s reserved for execs of this company. The jet that literally has my name plastered on the side of it. Right. That one, it was unavailable out for servicing, supposedly.

Oh, how unfortunate. I know. So anyway, I was talking to one of our managers today and he happened to mention how that specific. Shouldn’t be due for servicing for at least another couple of months. So naturally, I did some digging. Turns out the Jet’s logs were hacked. Now your sister, she’s very good with computers, right?

I mean, that’s why we hired her. Anyway, the Jets logs reflected that that plane was out for servicing, when in fact it had been commandeered for a clandestine trip to Jakarta by your sister, and everyone here at Damara was none the wise.

To everyone except you, Lee,

Kathy, he seems so serious. Sorry, I was just a little, um, distracted about something earlier. Looking at something in the mail, but you know what? Forget it. Don’t worry about that. I am just excited about something and I hope you will be too excited about what, Wendy? Will you be my maid of honor?

Well, what are you saying? Um, well, we haven’t even really known each other that. I mean, don’t you have like a whole list of eager girlfriends just fighting for the top spot? Um, yeah. Um, you probably might not believe this, but I don’t really have many girlfriends. Right. Well, and so I’m not sure why you pivot to Lee.

Might I remind you, Lee, that I was. The day you realized your sister hadn’t shown up for work, you seem to be a little confused as to what happened, even maybe, dare I say, perturbed , if I recall correctly. Is this ringing any sort of bell up there in that head of yours? You chalked it up to her working remotely, either for her benefit or for mine, and then you left to check up on her, right?

Um, yes, I do remember that. Hmm. What must you have found when you checked up on Hurley? Because when I dug up the plane’s logs, Unaltered logs. Turns out at that very moment, the plane was already wing. Its way over to Indonesia, and here’s the kicker, every expense for that flight. Look at me. The fuel in flight, meals in flight entertainment was all signed off for by one Mr.

Lee Shin,

which tells me you knew your sister left town and you must have. Why she left, what the purpose was of her little jot on the company’s dime. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Here’s the truth.

I’m waiting. Okay. I did know about my sister’s Little John to Jakarta, but after the fact, and I do know why she. I also know who went with her.

Hello Ali. Johnny was just telling me the terrible news about his grandmother. Yeah, I, I know about it. Trip told me. Johnny, I’m so sorry. I wanted to tell you in person. It’s just there’s been so much going on. Thanks. Wait, how long have you known? I talked to Trip on than. So you’ve known since Thanksgiving and you didn’t say anything to me.

Chanel, you’ve been going through so much. You and your mom got arrested. I didn’t wanna pile on. Look, I’m sorry. I should have told you. I will never keep you out the loop again. Okay. Oh, sh Chanel, there’s nothing to could have done. Don’t blame Ally. All right. I know you’re right. Both of. It’s just like, it’s all been so overwhelming, like Allie said, and it just, it just seems like it never ends.

What do you mean just what’s going on now with Abe? Wait, what’s going on with him? It’s nothing like what Johnny and his dad are going through, but he’s bad.

I think someone needs a refresher in his manners. I thought you, my family guys, hey they Steph hammered into you Honor and all that. I’m a businessman, aunt, sister, Mary Mara, but all the same You are, right. Where are my manners? You’re very, very welcome here, I suppose I’m just still surprised to see. He’s surprised.

Isn’t that just facial? Well, lemme tell you what surprises me, hearing about the untimely loss of my poor sister in the kidnapping Gone wrong. No less from anyone except my own nephew. So tell me exactly where were you in a time of need chasing girls for money or both for your information? EJ is the reason you are walking free no matter what.

Clarice Darrow here has led you to believe I was with EJ when he called the DA to drop the charges. You’re welcome. It seems like you two have a, a lot still to work through, so I’m just gonna get out of here. No, no, no, don’t go. Nicole is leaving. You know, I have a business to conduct anyway, but, um, here’s my business card.

Settle my feet anytime that, uh, you’re available. My home address is on the back.

Let me stop you. I’m sure Mr. Ron is waiting. You know, how many times do I have to tell you I am not seeing e. I had no place to go. He offered me and Holly a place to land. And so you accepted without any hesitation,

you know, I don’t wanna get ahead of myself, but this could be a real opportunity for us. An opportunity for what? Exactly. To have a real relationship and. , I helped turn it into something very special. I, you probably don’t know this. I mean, why would you know this? But I, I had a sister named Ariana. Ha. Yeah.

Tragically she’s gone now. But I named my daughter after her. I wanted to honor her, but nothing can replace that bond that sisters can. It’s really special and soon you and I are gonna be sisters-in-law, but I’m hoping that in time we can make it feel like we’re real sisters and not just related by marriage.

That would be, that would be amazing. Yeah. Yeah. Amazing. I, I’ve had such a great feeling about you. I mean, the minute I met you, I just felt like I could trust you and, and that really means a lot to me. Okay. Please, please, Wendy, just say Yes, please. Gabby, there’s, there’s something you need to hear.

The truth about Wendy’s trip is that, um,

come on Lee, don’t stop now. Well, it was your nephew Johnny, who actually commandeered the jet when, why? Yes. Yes. It, um, it, it seems that Johnny and my sister, the two of them have well, um, Hit it off, shall we say. Hmm.

I see. And so I assume to impress her, he whispered her away on a little romantic getaway. Hmm. On dam mayor’s dime. Yes. Yes. And um, I’m right. Uh, as you said, I did sign off on the expenses. But after the fact, what else was I supposed to do? I’m not sure I’m catching the meaning here. Well, um, to put it bluntly, he’s the boss’s son,

but just because the city council is cowardly and trying to avoid a scandal doesn’t mean that Abe has to kneel, fallen his sword. Yeah. I mean, mayor carver’s a fighter, a damn good one, right? I mean, he’s. Through how many crises before he’s gonna get through this one. I hope you’re right. Both of you and I mean, sure.

The city council may be trying to avert a scandal, but there is only one true villain here. Sloan Peterson. What’s wrong with you? AJ’s mother died and yet he still found the time to call the DA and drop the charges. He did. For you, and yet you stand here in front of me making underhanded comments like some silly wounded school.

Boy, anyone know the worsts part? Is it you and this woman you just met? Confront me here and accuse me of killing your baby. Now, we talked about this and even you agreed that it was Jada’s choice about her own.

After everything that we’ve been through, I am devastated to see you behaving. Like what? Say it, Nicole. What?

You’re not the special man. I thought you were.

Believe me, I know EJ has history and a pretty ugly one compared to you these past few days. He’s a saint.

You know what? You right about ej? I’ll just keep my opinions to myself. We’ll see. And as for me, I am not a saint. I don’t deny that, but neither are you. And as Jay’s decision about the abortion, that is her choice. We do agree on that. But that little private chat that you had with her, how hard it is to be a mother and raising a child on her own.

God, would you listen to yourself, all these insults and accusations like I’m some fallen woman, because I took EJ up on a place to say when I had nowhere to go. Oh yeah. And of course it’s my fault that Jada got an abortion, even though it was her own choice. You are blaming me for things that I haven’t done and I am sick of it.

Yeah. Well, I’m so sorry that I am impossible to deal with because you know what? Your opinion doesn’t matter anymore.

You make it sound like we’re breaking up. Yeah. Well, we’d have to be together to break up. Lucky for you. We never made that mistake. No, I wasn’t chasing women or money in my mother’s hour of need, and I assure you I did everything I could to bring her home safely. But when you are dealing with a lunatic, that crazy woman grabbed my mother.

And backed outta her very own deal. All I hearing is excuses. Excuses, excuses, excuses. Next thing you’re gonna my

look,

I’m not trying to justify my failings, I’m just trying to give you the whole picture. And ask for forgiveness even when I truly don’t deserve it.

I don’t know much about this Sloan Peterson person, but I know that my Uncle Chad is not a fan. Oh, trust me. No one is a fan. All you need to know about her is that she’s trying to ruin Chanel on her mother. And yet again, my mother gets dragged through the mud for something I did. Don’t blame yourself.

Chanel. Okay? You’re gonna get through this. You all will, hopefully very soon. I know you’re going through a lot too, Johnny, and I want you to know we are here for you. You know that, right? Yeah. Thank you. Uh, you know I had better get going. I did come here looking for Wendy. I should probably try and catch her at.

What did you need to see her about? You didn’t say? Oh, uh, nothing important. Just, uh, wanna see how things are going at the mirror?

I’m sorry if you wasted your time digging into this missing jet mystery. Um, I, I felt like I had to play dumb. I was just trying to protect my sister and her crush. Not to mention your c. , I assume it all makes sense now. All the pieces seem to fit together. Hmm. And, uh, hey, look at the Bright side. Jets back.

Uh, you can use it to whisk Chloe away to Miami. Uh, right now. , if you’d like , we will be going to Miami. But just on a different timeline, huh? Yeah, we’re thinking New Year’s. Oh. Um, the day I’m marrying Gabby, Exactly. And obviously she’s told you Gabby has that she invited both me and Chloe, right? Obviously, but we’re not gonna be there.

We decided it’s not for us. We sent in our IV P yesterday, let you hear it from me. Right? And let’s be honestly, do you really want your bride’s ex-husband. And his new lady in attendance. Do you, uh, think I’d feel threatened because I, I assure you I wouldn’t be, uh, you’ve been very clear that you have no lingering feelings for Gabby, and, uh, she’s been clear as well that she holds nothing but resentment for you now that, um, you’ve returned and treated her with so much, uh, rudeness and insulting behavior.

But, but hey. I get it. So have a wonderful time in Miami.

Hey, wait, what’s wrong? Whatever it is, you can tell me. We can fix it.

So we both agree we have to keep their. Your dad’s and my brothers. Hey Gabby and s Stephan Can’t help you feel okay with that? No, not really. Me neither. I just, I know that being a maid of honor means putting everything else aside to make sure the bride stays perfect. I guess I’m worried about being up for the job.

Because as it is now, I’m on thin ice damara, and after playing hooky, I have a ton of work to catch up on. I guess what I’m saying is I wouldn’t wanna let you down. Are you kidding me? That’s you . You couldn’t possibly let me down ever. Unless you refuse to be my maid of honor, so please, please, please say you guys, Wendy, please.

Yeah, I’d love to think you. Think you, you.

Well, perhaps in your grief you have forgotten, so I will remind you. God is in charge of forgiveness, not me.

I wasn’t asking you for his forgiveness. I was asking for you. Well, right now I’m more concerned about the immortal soul of my sister. So when is the funeral? Oh, I’ve, nothing’s been arranged yet. Nothing. She’s been arranged, been busy. Have we? I’d hate for you to interrupt your important schedule for something so trivial as the passion of your own mother.

It’s in its true graces that I am here. My sisters’ beloved son has managed to both fail her in love and now in this shame on you, air Mr. Mirror. Shame. Shame, shame.

So this is how we’re doing this that are in spiteful probably for the best. Otherwise, we’d make the same mistake. Fine. Cutting.

This is really happening, isn’t it?

In case you can find another way through. I can’t. Maybe our mistake was trying to recapture what we once had,

forgetting all the things that made us wrong for each other. That day in the office when we fell, we had a. We kissed. Yeah. And then your phone rang in, was in the

Wendy. Hey, what are you doing here? It’s. We don’t have to keep our friendship a secret anymore. Remember, it’s our cover now. In fact, it’s probably better for people to see us together. Let ’em think what they think first we’re a secret. Then we’re drumming up wild gossip. What a whirlwind friendship chip.

Anyway, um, I went looking for you earlier just to check. Make sure you’re okay. I spoke to my dad and he was asking if I had any second thoughts about, you know, about keeping our secret about Stephan. I told him we’re both on board, but I wanted to make sure with you I was. Then Gabby called,

oh, you scared the hell outta me. , sorry. Uh, you were somewhere else totally absorbed in whatever you were looking at. Yeah. The perfect target, , that, that, that arrived today, Steph and Chloe aren’t coming to the wedding. Yeah, I know I spoke with Stefan a while ago. What I didn’t know is that you had invited him in the first place.

Yeah. Sorry, I didn’t tell you. I was just, I, I mean, I assume that you’d want a handful of high ranking execs from Damira there. So that was, um, the only reason for the invitation. What do you mean? Um, I, I don’t know. Maybe a part of you wants to show s Stephan that you’re really moving on. I just want Stephan and everyone else to know how happy I am and I am marry the most wonderful man.

I am the luckiest woman. I’m the lucky one. Hey, actually, I forgot to tell you. I saw your sister today. I asked her to be my maid of honor. Oh, um, you saw Jane when, yeah. She didn’t skip out on work. She, she came during her lunch. Well, what did she say? Well, she said yes, but after some persuading, and actually she seemed weirdly uneasy about it.

Gabby was laying it on pretty. About how we could be like real sisters, how close we could be in. She’s seemed genuinely excited about it. I thought she was gonna break out one of those heart BFF necklace sets. Whole time I was trying to smile. Dead inside. Look, I’m sure Gabby didn’t even notice. If you can go face to face with Dr.

Rolf, you can handle anybody. I don’t know. I kept trying to leave. I must’ve been sweating and squirming. It got so bad. I almost blurted out what we did.

Yes.

Let’s talk about what you did.

You down there? Hmm?

Just what are you? You are right. I you should have got to work immediately. Planning something to honor mother. Uh,

While we’re working at the particulars, I want you to stay here. Oh. No argument. I’m going to speak to Harold about setting up a room for you. Stay right here.

Stop staring with your old man

there, a room at the crossroad somewhere.

The call about Jada. It was either the worst timing possible. And the best if we’d actually gotten started.

It would’ve made it harder when things blew up, which was inevitable. Yeah, inevitable.

I guess

Well, I can’t imagine why Gene Wen would be uneasy about being a maid of honor. Well, I think she’s, she’s concerned about the responsibility that come to it, but I told her that she couldn’t disappoint me. So is she resolved All good. I don’t know. Still feels like there’s something that she wasn’t telling me.

Well, you know what I think? I think that you two just don’t know each other all that well yet. You think there’s something she’s not telling you, but I think she’s probably just thinking about what to have for dinner, and that’s very jing wet. I think you should just put this out of your head. I bet the two of you are gonna end up being really good friends.

Yeah, that’s what I told her. Well, you know what they say about great minds,

uh, uncle Stephan. Now we, we were just talking about, uh, we, we, we, your little romantic getaway to Ja.

Yeah, I figured it was you who hacked into the logs for the jet. Why you chose Jakarta as your getaway destination. Hmm. Lano. But I hope you kids had fun because it’s gonna be the last trip you take for a long time on the company’s dime. Of course. And just a fair warning.

Nothing gets by me.

Is it just me or is this getting harder by the minute?

Thanks, voicemail. Hey. Hi, it’s me. Um, I, I’m sorry that I ran out on you and mama before. I just was, I was too emotional. Um, but, uh, gimme a call back when you can. I, I wanna know what’s going on with you and those dim widths at the city council. Okay. Talk soon. You okay? I don’t know how we’re gonna do. But we need to find a way to keep Sloan Peterson from ruining all our lives.

Hello, Eric? Hi. I’m here because I, we have a matter of my bill to discuss. Yeah, no, I am, I assume. I guess it’s just, I didn’t expect to see you here this fast. You and Nicole seemed really in the thick of it. Yeah, well, we actually realized we had nothing else to say.

Should I go? No.

If I stay, you know what that means?

I think we both know what it means

and Jada.

It’s like doing ra. I gotta do the right thing. I can’t stay with Jada, especially when my heart belongs to someone else

As, as angry as I was with you. I never stop loving you. Thank you.

Oh, Eric. This time, no, we. You gotta screw it up, I promise. Yeah.

And sister, you disappeared on me. Apparently one of your invades has an evil sense of humor. Uh, how do you mean? I asked, which was my beloved sister’s room, and she. Pointed this way, put this gas perfume foul, and the air could not be Susan’s. Well, this was mother’s room, but I’ve been letting a friend use a temporarily.

Oh, a friend. I knew you were chasing girls Elvis, just like your namesake. But I pray to God that you were not fornicating in your mother’s mouth. Oh, for.

For Pete’s sake, aunt Sister, yes, my friend happens to be a woman, but that’s all she is. A friend. That’s what they all say. But I pray that is true in your case. Your soul is in enough jeopardy as it is.

Hmm. Looks like someone’s planning a memorial

tasteful affair for attack lady,

but Susan Banks wont be the only one late to rest that day.

Nick: Look, there’s no reason why we can’t have breakfast together. I’m still working through some things where we’ but I wouldn’t mind some company while I crush some pancakes.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] Fair enough.

Lauren: Good morning.

Nick: Good morning, lauren. How are things at fenmore’s?

Lauren: Never better.

Sally: That’s wonderful.

Michael: Sally. Good to see you, nick.

Nick: Hey, bud. Hopefully my dad’s not dragging you into too many crazy things.

Michael: [ Chuckles ] He’s keeping things interesting, just the way I like it.

Sally: Well, we don’t want to interrupt your morning any longer. Enjoy your breakfast.

Lauren: Thank you. They’re sharing a meal together, even though they don’t work together anymore. You think something’s going on?

Michael: There are thousands of things that concern me. Whether or not nick and sally are dating doesn’t even come close to making that list.

Sally: I can practically feel lauren’s eyes boring a hole into my back. We don’t have the excuse of being colleagues anymore. Are you sure you’re okay with this?

Jack: Good morning.

Diane: Oh. Good morning. It looks chilly outside, like it could snow any second.

Jack: Good to know. I wasn’t expecting a weather report.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Oh, well, I was just trying to be helpful. Something to repay your generous hospitality. Thank you again for letting me stay over.

Jack: I hope you slept okay. I’m an early riser. You were down here before I was. I — I hope you weren’t up all night worrying.

Diane: Well, in spite of the wonderful accommodations, I — I didn’t get a lot of rest. But I wanted to get up early and get back to the hotel before going to the office. I — I don’t want anyone at jabot getting the wrong impression.

Ashley: Impression about what?

Jack: I invited diane to spend the night here last night.

Ashley: Why?

Jack: Because she was understandably rattled at the news that jeremy stark is in town. She didn’t feel safe going to her hotel, and I don’t blame her.

Ashley: I’m sure you don’T.

Jack: I didn’t want to leave her alone with that man in the vicinity. That man came to our front door. What if — what if harrison had been the one to greet him at the door instead of diane?

Ashley: So, diane, what was it like reuniting with your ex-lover?

Diane: Why? Are you concerned for my safety?

Jack: I have asked phyllis how it is that jeremy knew exactly where diane was. I got nowhere there. I’ll ask you. Did you and your cohorts have anything to do with leading him here?

Ashley: I’m telling you right now that I —

Diane: Oh. I — I’m — I should go.

Jack: You want an escort?

Diane: No, I’ll be fine. I’m just going to the hotel and then straight to the office.

Jack: Okay, text me, let me know you’re there safely?

Diane: Okay.

Jack: Yeah. Okay, now that she’s gone, answer my question. Did you have anything to do with stark showing up at our home?

Ashley: Answer this question first, jack. Is diane using stark’s arrival here as an excuse to jump into your bed?

Nikki: So, the transition at the media division is going smoothly?

Victoria: Yeah, it is. Nate is doing a great job of getting everything up to speed.

[ Sighs ] There’s only one problem.

Nikki: What’s that?

Victoria: Mm. Nicholas. He’s, um — he’s been distracted by this whole issue with sally spectra.

Nikki: What, that she was fired?

Victoria: Yes. Yes. It was just business. But he’s taking it very personally. Has he mentioned anything to you about sally?

Nikki: Are you kidding? Do you think that he would take advice from his mother about his love life? Not that I haven’t offered plenty of it over the years, but he — he ignores it.

Victoria: I don’t know, mom. I’m just worried about him. He needs to listen to someone with some sense.

Nikki: [ Gasps ] Oh, my god.

Victoria: What’s wrong? Do you know that man?

Nikki: I know of him. He’s a whole lot of trouble.

Nick: Thanks.

Lauren: You know, they seem like they’re up to something. The way they look at each other — I don’t know — it seems very intimate.

Michael: I’m thinking about a frittata.

Lauren: Maybe sally’s moving on from adam to his brother.

Michael: Oh, who am i kidding? How can I not order a crab cake benedict? That reminds me of new orleans.

[ Southern accent ] You remember that little place on magazine street?

Lauren: Are you not caring about anything that I’m saying about this possible relationship? It could actually affect your job if victor decides to meddle.

Michael: Who can predict love? If sally and nick make each other happy, good for them. I won’t stand in their way.

Lauren: Love? Uh…mnh. This is sally we’re talking about.

Michael: Hmm. You never know. It can happen very quickly. I’m sure you fell head over heels for me in a matter of seconds.

Lauren: [ Laughs ] My darling, are — are you actually forgetting how it happened?

Michael: Now that I think about it, it was exactly the opposite. Ahh, I fell in love with you in a blink of an eye.

Lauren: We have been very, very lucky. But I’m not so sure that nick and sally are a similar match to us. In fact, I’m concerned about nick. I hope sally’s intentions are good.

Sally: She is still staring at us, right?

Nick: I learned a long time ago to not care what people think. Being a newman, always in the spotlight, people always judging you. Does the scrutiny bother you?

Sally: Why should it? I’m used to people talking about me, too. But you probably know that from everything that victor’s guys dug up on me.

Nick: Yeah. There was, uh, definitely some things in there that would spark up a conversation.

Sally: [ Sighs ] I have been involved in some shady stuff in the past, some of which you know about, some you might not. Or you might be hearing stories from people now. In either case, I’m not proud of most of what I’ve done. But I have learned and grown from all of it. And I’m willing to talk about any of it. You just have to ask ’cause I do not want there to be any surprises between us down the line. If there is a “down the line” for us.

Nick: I’m surprised you wouldn’t want to share your worst moments.

Sally: I would be willing to tell you everything… ’cause I think you’re worth it.

Jack: First of all, it is none of your business who did or didn’t sleep in my bed last night. Second of all, you are changing the subject. I asked you, did you have anything to do…

Ashley: I heard you.

Jack: …With stark showing up at our door?

Ashley: I heard you, and i promise you I didn’t even know the man was in town, okay?

Kyle: You talking about jeremy stark? Because he was in town and still is.

Jack: Wait, how do you know that?

Kyle: I confronted him last night.

Victoria: So, who is he?

Nikki: It’s jeremy stark.

Victoria: The money launderer that diane was working for in los angeles?

Nikki: Shh! Shh! Yes, that’s him. He just got out of prison. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t look.

Victoria: What is he doing here in genoa city? Did he come for diane? Mom? What did you do?

Nikki: It’s very complicated.

Victoria: Are you responsible for bringing a criminal to town?

Nikki: I don’t want to talk about this here. We should go. Let’s go.

Victoria: I need to go over the budget for the next fiscal year.

Nikki: Oh, right.

[ Knocking on door ]

Diane: Jack’s not in yet.

Phyllis: Alright. Well, I’ll wait for him. Alone, preferably. I need to clear a couple things up.

Diane: Oh. What was unclear?

Phyllis: Well, it’s really none of your business. But he was in a vile mood. It’s probably ’cause you riled him all up with your damsel act.

[ Imitating crying ] “Bad man coming to get me. Oh, my god.”

Diane: It wasn’t a performance, phyllis. I really am in danger. But, you know, perhaps I could straighten a few things out for you since I probably have a better idea where jack’s head is at the moment.

Phyllis: Mm. Okay. Why is that?

Diane: Because I was the last person he saw last night and the first one he saw this morning at the abbott house. Yeah, that’s right. I spent the night there. Covid-19 moves fast and now you can too

Summer: So, this is still a thing?

Nick: What’s happening here is two people just having breakfast together.

Summer: What happened to her not wanting anything to do with you? That’s what you told me.

Nick: Things have changed, summer, we’re just having a meal, and if something was happening, I’d like to think you’d be okay with it. Or maybe even happy for us.

Summer: [ Scoffs ] Could we get a moment alone, please?

Nick: Wait, is that absolutely necessary?

Sally: You know what? It’s alright ’cause I need to check in with chloe anyway.

Nick: [ Sighs ] That was rude.

Summer: I think she’ll survive.

Nick: She doesn’t deserve to be treated like that.

Summer: Well, I need to be honest with you, and I didn’t think you’d want me to do that with her sitting right here.

Nick: What did you want to say?

Summer: [ Sighs ] I can’t get on board with this.

Nick: Why not?

Summer: Because sally is using you, somehow, some way. I am sure of it.

Ashley: Kyle, what do you mean, you confronted stark?

Kyle: I went to his hotel room, told him to leave my mother alone.

Jack: Wait, you did what?

Kyle: I went to the grand phoenix, knocked on his door —

Jack: Wait. Stop. Stop. That’s where he is staying?

Kyle: Yes. Fourth floor.

Jack: Well, that isn’t exactly a coincidence. That’s where diane lives. I’m gonna get security to give her an escort to and from the office.

Kyle: Mm. That’s a good idea.

Jack: What did you say to stark?

Kyle: I told him in no uncertain terms to leave my mother alone.

Jack: How did stark respond?

Kyle: He said he had no ill will towards her, claimed he just wanted to reconnect with an old flame now that he’s gotten out of prison.

Ashley: Okay. So, he’s not actually threatening anybody.

Kyle: That’s right, but he —

Ashley: And also that means that possibly nobody’s really in any danger. There’s no evidence of that.

Kyle: He was lying. The guy is so smooth and unflappable. He probably has never told the truth. His mere presence is a threat.

Jack: I got the same menacing feeling from him, and diane’s fears are legitimate. He sent her a text saying it would be a big mistake to let the abbotts fight her battles. Now I realize that was about you showing up, too.

Kyle: Well, there’s your evidence right there. And now I’m even more worried about my mother. And I’m furious at whoever put her in this situation.

Phyllis: Are you really telling me that you took your little victim act right into jack’s bed last night?

Diane: Do you have to be so vulgar?

Phyllis: That wasn’t vulgar.

Diane: Oh, well, in any case, we shouldn’t be discussing such things at the office.

Phyllis: Oh, okay. Well, you didn’t have sex with jack. If you had, you would be screaming it from the rooftops. You’re acting too demure.

Diane: You think everything i do is some kind of act.

Phyllis: Yes, I do. Because it usually is.

Diane: Oh, just relax. I slept in the guest room.

Phyllis: Why are you sleeping at the abbott house at all?

Diane: Well, I — I have you to thank. You’re the reason jack extended the invitation. Insisted, really. He was concerned about jeremy stark and the threat he poses. And that was your doing, right?

Phyllis: [ Scoffs ] Well, you definitely convinced jack of that, didn’t you?

Diane: Yeah. Jack wanted me safe last night. He was so strong and protective. So, you think you’re hurting me, but you are actually strengthening the bond between us. Thanks, phyllis.

Phyllis: You’re welcome. I want to remind you that that bond isn’t unbreakable.

Jeremy: Diane.

Diane: [ Gasps ]

Jeremy: There you are.

[ Chuckles ] I was hoping to find you here. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Summer: I really shouldn’t have to remind you what sally has done to me. Miraculously, it all worked out, but it doesn’t change the fact that she blackmailed me in order to get me to leave town and go to italy.

Nick: For the record, she participated in tara locke’s plan. She was not the blackmailer.

Summer: Regardless, she wanted me out of genoa city so she could take my job. That’s the kind of person she is.

Nick: Look, I’m aware of your history with her. I don’t like what she did, but, summer, we’ve all done things that we’re not proud of. We’ve made mistakes. Some of the things you’ve done aren’t so different from sally’S. Do you remember your first marriage to kyle, where you pressured him into tying the knot so you could save lola’s life?

Summer: Okay, I cringe when i think about that. We don’t need to go there.

Nick: Well, sally doesn’t want to revisit her mistakes, either.

Summer: I have worked really hard to put that time in my life behind me. I am not that person anymore.

Nick: Same as sally. And what about your mother? She’s done some pretty despicable things.

Summer: We are not talking about mom right now.

Nick: Well, you go out of your way to give her the benefit of the doubt. Why can’t you do the same with sally? Doesn’t she deserve the same shot at redemption that you and your mom got?

Summer: Is that a serious question?

Lauren: Sally. I heard what happened with newman media. It’s so unfortunate. I’m sorry.

Sally: Thank you. I just consider it another high point I get to add to my résumé.

[ Chuckles ]

Michael: Well, the newman name carries a lot of clout.

Sally: Yeah, I’m — I’m really proud of what i accomplished there. But now it’s on to bigger and better things.

Ashley: So, what’s your plan?

Sally: [ Chuckles ] Well, you know me. I always have something percolating.

Lauren: Mm-hmm. So, I’m sure by now you know that chelsea is no longer designing for fenmore’s or marchetti.

Sally: Yes, I heard that. But are you telling me casually or officially? Does this mean that you’ve gotten to the point where you can maybe forgive my past mistakes and consider trusting me again?

Diane: How did you get in here?

Jeremy: Come on. You know me. I have my ways. Oh, nice digs. I bet the overhead is brutal. Hello. Friend of yours?

Diane: No.

Phyllis: No.

Diane: But I think she’s a friend of yours, jeremy. This is phyllis summers. I assume the two of you have been in contact. You might not have met in person. It might have been some anonymous, mysterious phone call.

Phyllis: What are you talking about?

Diane: She’s the one who told you where to find me, isn’t she?

Phyllis: That’s absurd.

Jeremy: You know, your voice, it — it does sound familiar.

Victoria: You seem like you’re worried that someone has followed us.

Nikki: Oh, no, everything is fine. I’m — I’m just taking precautions.

Victoria: What’s going on? Is this guy jeremy stark looking for you?

Nikki: Of course not. He doesn’t even know my name.

Victoria: But you did help to bring him here, didn’t you?

Nikki: Well, phyllis, ashley, and I had this plan of using his release from prison as a way to scare diane out of town. But that wasn’t quite enough, so we talked about taking it to the next level.

Victoria: And you brought him here?

Nikki: No, that was not our intention. But phyllis had taken matters into her own hands.

Victoria: Well, who would have seen that coming?

Nikki: She actually contacted stark directly, told him that diane was involved in his arrest and then told him where he could find her. And apparently he took the bait because now he’s here.

Victoria: Oh, my god. Look, I’m not a fan of diane, but this seems extreme, doesn’t it?

Nikki: Ashley and I felt the same way. But phyllis had already set things in motion.

Victoria: How do we fix this?

Nikki: I don’t know that we can, but we can take precautions.

[ Door opens ]

Victor: I’ve just been informed that jeremy stark is in town.

Nikki: Yeah. We just saw him at crimson lights.

Victor: I have alerted security. He’s not gonna step foot in either this building or the ranch, okay?

Nikki: Thank you.

Victor: You know the guy’s dangerous. The threat is real. Dancing is everything.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Summer: I hear what you’re trying to say about forgiving sally and moving on. It’S… I just think it’s different with her.

Nick: How so?

Summer: Does she really regret her actions, or is she just mad that she got caught? Is she pretending to be remorseful as a part of a new scam?

Nick: [ Sighs ] Look, supergirl, it’s up to me to decide whether or not i believe her, and I think sally is sincere.

Summer: [ Scoffs ]

Nick: And I can tell you this — she regrets the way she acted towards you.

Summer: Okay. And I think she’s using you. She jumped from one rich newman to another really quickly.

Nick: I assure you, she is not after my money.

Summer: How could you possibly know that?

Nick: Because I offered her some — quite a lot of it, actually — and she turned me down.

Summer: You did what?

Nick: Yes. I wanted to invest in her new business venture. I put an offer on the table, and she rejected it. She won’t even take a loan from me because she wants to do it on her own.

Summer: Interesting.

Nick: Summer, I need you to understand this. Whatever is going on with me and sally — and it may not go anywhere… but it’s my decision to make. Now, I hate it that you disagree with me, but it’s not gonna get me to change my mind. And I really hope someday you can change yours.

Victor: I am sure that this is phyllis’ doing. And I think you should separate yourself from her — okay? — And persuade ashley to do the same.

Nikki: Well, for the most part, we’ve all been working together. I would — I wouldn’t feel right leaving phyllis twisting in the wind.

Victor: Why? She has done that to you before. No reason for you to feel guilty.

Victoria: So, how do you want to handle this, dad?

Victor: For now, I’ve assigned security to your mother, to ashley, to summer, and to harrison, alright?

Victoria: What about phyllis and the rest of the abbotts?

Victor: I don’t care about the rest of the abbotts. They can take care of themselves. But I have a feeling that they’ll all rally around diane as if she’s the victim now.

Nikki: Oh, god, I hope not. They’ll pay dearly for that.

Victor: Sweetheart, you need to stay out of this. You’ve got to end your involvement in this right now.

Jack: Did stark give you any idea how he knew exactly where to find diane?

Kyle: No, although that wasn’t my primary concern at the time.

Jack: Yeah, he told me he assumed on his own that diane wanted to reunite with her family, so he guessed she might be here.

Kyle: That seems unlikely.

Jack: Yeah, I had exactly the same feeling.

Kyle: We may need extra security.

Jack: Okay, look, I will take care of that, but, um, I’m gonna go check on diane right now.

Kyle: Do you want me to hire guards?

Jack: No, no, no. I will take care of it. I know who to call. Let’s make sure that summer and harrison are safe.

Kyle: Thanks, dad.

[ Door closes ] I know you firmly believe in science. You have to have proof before you believe in things. Well, I don’t have proof that you and nikki and phyllis led this very dangerous man here. I have a feeling that’s exactly what happened. My own aunt put my entire family in danger. Is that what you wanted, ashley? Are you happy with how things turned out?

Phyllis: I guess I just have one of those voices. It, um, reminds someone of someone they knew or someone they want to know. You know. Well, I have some work to do. Excuse me.

Diane: Phyllis, could you, um — could you just wait a minute? I need to talk to you about something.

Jeremy: [ Clears throat ]

Phyllis: No. I’m very busy. Excuse me. Nice to meet you…

Jeremy: Jeremy.

Phyllis: Jeremy. Nice to meet you.

Jeremy: You too.

Diane: [ Sighs ] You shouldn’t have come here. This is my workplace. You showing up unannounced isn’t helping anything.

Jeremy: Well, my apologies. But remember our conversation was cut short. And we need to finish it. #1 isn’t a status earned overnight.

Lauren: You know, I always felt you had a keen eye for fashion. And not everyone has that kind of flair.

Sally: Well, thank you, lauren. That really means a lot.

Lauren: And although you are an amazing designer, you just are your own worst enemy.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] Yes, I would say that is a fair assessment of my past actions, but I really feel like I’ve left all that behind. No more self-sabotaging and no sabotaging anybody else, for that matter.

Lauren: Well, good for you. It’s always nice when people can redeem themselves.

Michael: Lauren has moved past several troubling incidents in her past.

Sally: [ Clears throat ] Well, it’s good to know that I’m not alone. And thank you guys for the support. But I don’t think I’m gonna be going back to the world of fashion. I want to forge a new career path.

Lauren: Okay. Well, I wish you luck.

Michael: As do I.

Sally: Thank you. And I’m really glad we cleared the air.

Lauren: Me too.

Sally: Alright, I’m gonna go back to my table.

Michael: Good luck.

Sally: Thanks.

Michael: You never cease to amaze me. I thought sally was your avowed enemy, and now you’re her biggest fan.

Lauren: Ahh. I believe we all need second chances.

Michael: Yeah. Absolutely. Huh. Where would the two of us be without them?

Lauren: Seriously. But, actually, I was, um, taking the advice that I gave phyllis. Watching her with that grudge against diane? I — it’s not healthy.

Michael: Yet another reason I love you.

[ Chuckles ]

Lauren: You know, you’re being awfully nice for a man who has yet to eat today.

Michael: I know. Where is my crab cake benedict?

[ Cellphone pings ] Sorry.

Lauren: Oh. Well, tell victor I say hi.

Michael: Oh. Duty calls. It’s important.

Lauren: Isn’t it always?

Michael: Well, this seems more than his usual bluster. I mean, the message implies that lives are at risk.

Lauren: Oh, my goodness. Honey, be careful, okay?

Michael: Yeah. I will. Promise.

Lauren: [ Sighs ]

Sally: Did you two have a good talk?

Nick: I think we straightened some things out.

Summer: [ Sighs ] I’ll think about what you said, dad. And I’ll see you soon.

Nick: Love you.

Sally: Bye. What exactly did you tell her?

Nick: I was, uh, pretty direct with her. I just told her we’re still figuring things out.

Sally: Well, that’s an accurate description. But what else did you say? There had to have been more. It looked pretty intense.

Nick: I just made it very clear that I will be the one who decides who I date and nobody, not even my amazing daughter, is going to tell me otherwise.

Ashley: I am sorry. Honestly, from my heart, I never wanted things to escalate like this.

Kyle: Look, it doesn’t matter what you wanted. I don’t know what your intentions were, but this current situation is a direct result of your actions.

Ashley: I was not personally involved in stark coming to —

Kyle: No, the three of you have threatened my mother with this very thing — bringing this monster to town to send her into hiding. And on one hand, I understand why you want to go toe to toe with my mother, but you have put our entire family in jeopardy. Do you not care how this affects harrison?

Ashley: Kyle, I love your little boy. Of course I care. I would lay down my own life to protect him.

Kyle: Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.

Ashley: He’s not gonna be harmed.

Kyle: You can’t be sure of that! If anyone I care about is harmed by jeremy stark, I will find out who was behind bringing him here. And if you and nikki and phyllis were at all responsible, I will hold all of you accountable.

[ Footsteps departing ]

Diane: What are you doing? You can’t stay here.

Jeremy: I’m not going anywhere.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] Jeremy, this is a place of business. You can’t just hang out.

Jeremy: Well, maybe I’m here on business. Maybe I want to buy a, uh, nice perfume or lipstick or rouge.

Diane: Alright, alright, come — come with me.

[ Sighs ] I don’t know why you’re here, but we have nothing more to discuss.

Jeremy: Don’t play games with me. Even after all these years, I still know you.

Diane: Jeremy, I’m glad you’re out, and I wish you well —

Jeremy: I heard you were instrumental in arranging my arrest and helped the authorities put me in prison.

Diane: That’s not true. And I can only imagine where you heard such a thing.

Jeremy: Oh, maybe I heard it from that lovely and helpful phyllis. Or maybe it was someone who sounded just like her.

Diane: Well, whoever said it, they were wrong. I had nothing to do with your arrest or your conviction. Someone, probably phyllis, has tricked you into thinking that I betrayed you, and it’s only because she’s holding a grudge against me. Jeremy, you’ve been played.

Jeremy: I don’t believe you.

Diane: You know, I’m warning you, I could have security here in a second.

Jeremy: Why would you do that, hmm? You think, uh, I want to hurt you? Do you think I’m some violent criminal out for revenge? No. That doesn’t interest me. I don’t care about past actions, but there is something else that I want that concerns me deeply.

Diane: What is that?

Jeremy: I want something from you, beautiful.

Diane: Jeremy, please.

Jeremy: I want my money. A dental tool is round for a reason.

Phyllis: The three of us made a pact to do anything necessary, anything possible to get rid of diane. I was forced to do this, and, honestly, she brought it upon herself.

Ashley: What if it backfires? This could get ugly so fast.

Phyllis: It won’T.

Ashley: Hear me out. We don’t know for a fact that stark went to prison because of diane. We don’T. Now, how do you think he’s gonna feel if he finds out this whole thing was a hoax? I don’t think he’s gonna be too happy when he finds out he’s been used.

Nikki: We need to be prepared in case he does decide to come after us.

Phyllis: You two are really overreacting.

Ashley: No, we’re not, phyllis. Do you really want to risk him getting violent with anyone, including diane? Because I don’T.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Victoria: Mom, I agree with dad. I think you need to cut ties with ashley and phyllis. I don’t want to see you get hurt.

Nikki: Darling, don’t worry. I can take care of myself.

Victoria: Of course you can, but this is dangerous. There’s no telling what this guy is gonna do or how he might react.

Victor: You don’t have to worry, okay? No harm will come to anyone in my family. You’ll all be protected.

Nikki: I hope you don’t blame me for this man’s arrival in genoa city.

Victor: Sweetheart, no. I’d never blame you for this. Phyllis is the one who brought this criminal back into town. Excuse me. I need to meet with michael baldwin, okay? Don’t you worry about a thing.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

Michael: Victor, I just saw the security downstairs. What’s going on?

Victor: Some fellow called jeremy stark just arrived in town.

Michael: Who is that?

Victor: He’s a recently released felon, a dangerous man. I need to know everything about him.

Jeremy: I had everything taken away from me when I was in prison. Millions.

Diane: You still have your health.

Jeremy: Oh, now, you’re cracking jokes? This isn’t funny.

Diane: Well, I’m sorry. I just don’t know what this has to do with me.

Jeremy: I had one last shipment of cash that didn’t make it to the islands. The feds didn’t get their hands on it. That’s all the money I have to start over. And you were in possession at that time. So I’m only assuming that you hung on to it for me. So, I want it back. Just give me my money and you’ll never see me again.

Diane: I don’t have it.

Jeremy: [ Clears throat ] How is that possible? It was a large sum of money, and now you’re saying you don’t have it?

Diane: No, I don’t have it. I used that money to rebuild my life after you went to prison. I had nothing. You left me high and dry. And I kept expecting the police to knock on my door and arrest me for crimes that you forced me to commit! So it was my right to use that money to survive.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] That’s not my problem. That’s my money. You owe me.

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Deacon: So, you guys really think sheila faked her own death?

Steffy: Sounds crazy, I know.

Finn: But nothing’s adding up.

Deacon: What’s not adding up? I- chief baker closed the case, her official death certificate said mauled by a bear.

Finn: Think about it. It’s way too convenient.

Steffy: Sheila’s wanted for double attempted murder and then she just winds up dead? And the only thing they find is her toe.

Deacon: Hope told me that they found a bunch of other stuff up there, too, though.

Finn: Yeah, but not enough. And there should have been more blood. There– there’s a lot that doesn’t make any sense.

Deacon: So you guys are serious. You– you really think she’s still alive?

Steffy: We’re certain of it.

Katie: Well. Hello there.

[ Laughs ]

Carter: Sorry.

Katie: No, no, don’t– don’t apologize. This might be the best thing that’s happened to me all day.

Carter: Happy to oblige. Although, I don’t know what that says about your day. Must have been pretty uneventful.

Katie: Not anymore.

Liam: Oh, good. I heard you were working from here. Listen, we gotta talk about this buyout. I’m starting to question whether it’s a good idea. So, is wyatt, obviously, you know, you have the final say, but we kind of need a decision today. And you’ve been a little M.I.A. Oh, no, dad. Not the necklace. What’s going on with you?

Liam: Dad, why are you wearing the sword necklace?

Bill: Katie put you up to this?

Liam: Katie? No.

Bill: Well, she was here earlier. Asked the same question.

Liam: Yeah, I imagine she did. It’s not exactly a good omen.

Bill: It’s just a piece of jewelry.

Liam: No, it’s not– it’s not a piece of jewelry. It’s a metaphor for your self-destructiveness.

Bill: Dramatic, don’t you think?

Liam: I’m not being– when you wear that thing on your neck, it means you’re in scorched earth mode. So what gives? What’s going on with you? ‘Cause I thought you were done with it forever.

Bill: Forever’s a long time. And I don’t have to explain myself to you.

Liam: Okay. I– all right. Fine. So katie was here. Why? What happened?

Katie: You’re actually just the man I was looking for. Justin says these contracts are urgent, so I volunteered to be the messenger. Glad I did. I got more than what I bargained for. Not complaining.

Carter: I left my bag here, and I thought I had the place to myself, but I am glad you’re still here.

Katie: Me too.

Carter: I spoke to brooke earlier and she said you overheard me singing your praises to bill.

[ Sighs ]

Deacon: There was a full investigation, right? The dna matched the blood at the scene.

Steffy: No one’s disputing that.

Deacon: Okay. So what has you convinced that she’s still alive? Oh, come on. No. Is that her toe? Oh, god. I need a beer. You want one?

Steffy: No, thank you.

Deacon: How the hell’d you get that, anyway?

Finn: Detective sanchez gave it to me.

Deacon: What, as a souvenir?

Steffy: Finn was suspicious. Now, so am I.

Deacon: So you’re just walking around with this toe, knocking on doors?

Steffy: Only your door, deacon. We’re here to see if you could help us find sheila carter. You didn’t live this strong, this long to get put

Liam: I take it your visit with katie didn’t go the way you hoped. Listen, I’m sure you don’t want to talk about it, but I’m here.

Bill: Yeah, there’s not much to talk about. It’s as simple as this. I poured out my soul to katie, and she wants nothing to do with me.

Liam: That must have been really hard. I’m sorry.

Bill: Katie’s moving on. With carter walton.

Katie: I deserve better. That’s what you said to bill.

Carter: I’m not wrong.

Katie: No, you’re not. It’s taken me a while to… really accept that I deserve more than what bill is capable of giving me. It’s hard, you know, with the child and we have so much history.

Carter: It’s natural to want to make it work for your son, for your family.

Katie: Until it becomes abundantly clear that it is not going to work and it never will.

Carter: Wow. Sounds like you’ve come to terms with it. That’s a big step.

Katie: You’re making my happiness your business?

Carter: You heard that too, huh?

Katie: I did.

Carter: Is that okay?

Katie: Yeah, it’s more than okay. It felt really powerful and reassuring. Especially in that moment. Bill had literally just finished pleading with brooke to give him another chance and you– you saw what he was doing and you stood up for me.

Carter: Defending a fascinating, talented, beautiful woman like you. It’s easy.

Deacon: Isn’t that enough proof? I mean, you got a gross decomposing toe. I mean, it’s a pretty good indication she’s no longer with us.

Finn: It certainly appeared sheila was mauled by a bear.

Steffy: You know, she was up in the sierra mountains based on some security footage.

Deacon: Right. Right. They– they found her car up there, didn’t they?

Steffy: Yeah. They found a cell phone, id.

Finn: Some of sheila’s hair, some blood spattered clothing.

Deacon: Yeah, I heard the crime scene photos were pretty gnarly.

Finn: Not as bad as I would have expected. A vicious animal attack like that? There should have been more remains left behind.

Deacon: Jeez, that bear must have been famished, getting ready for winter hibernation. I’m sorry that I– I didn’t mean any disrespect by that, I know that was your mother.

Finn: My birth mother.

Deacon: Right. I just, you know, still, what she did to you two…

Steffy: It’s difficult because we didn’t get justice for her crimes.

Finn: And that’s what we think sheila’s motive is.

Steffy: It’s either die or go to prison.

Finn: That’s why we have this little investigation of our own.

Deacon: You guys think the cops will reopen this thing?

Finn: Depends.

Deacon: On?

Steffy: If we can prove sheila’s not really dead.

Deacon: What? Why do you think she’s still kicking it? I mean, what prompted this?

Steffy: Deacon, you know sheila. Who else would cut off their toe and fake their own death?

Bill: You know what? I am so tired of this. Everybody just betraying me. You’re challenging me. Katie is moving on with carter walton. Brooke welcomes forrester back for more– more pain and suffering and disappointment.

Liam: For the record, they’re not back together.

Bill: You know what? I don’t give a damn. I’m tired of it, liam. Been stabbed in the back. Even justin, my best friend, my right hand man, my brother. My brother stabbed me in the back. And now what? Working at forrester.

Liam: Hey, dad. You have a right to disappointment. And I know you probably don’t want to hear this, but it is actually okay to feel sorry for yourself once in a while.

Bill: No, liam, I don’t want to hear it. And I’m not feeling sorry for myself. I’m giving you factual information, but you keep it up and you’re going to be feeling sorry for yourself.

Liam: All right. Okay, fine, fine. Then as your son. Stop it. Stop it. ‘Cause all this? This is ego. It’s your ego talking. And when your ego’s in charge, you get into trouble.

Katie: I believe you when you say wonderful things to me. With bill, I was– I was never always completely sure. I, uh, saw him earlier, he made– he made another impassioned plea for us to reconcile.

Carter: What’d you say?

Katie: I told him the truth. That I’m moving on. It’s hard.

Carter: Which part?

Katie: The part where I married a man, and I had a child with him, and I gave my heart to him, and he says that my sister is the true love of his life.

[ Sighs ] Gosh. Do you think there’s a man in los angeles who doesn’t want brooke? Who isn’t in love with brooke? Brooke, brooke, brooke, brooke, brooke. I mean, I love my sister, but do you think that there’s just one man, just one man who doesn’t want her, who isn’t in love with her and who might want someone like me?

Carter: [ Clears throat ]

Katie: [ Laughs ]

Deacon: So you really think she cut off her own toe?

Finn: I know that sounds crazy. And–

Deacon: Well, you know when I hear crazy, I mean, who else are you going to think of but sheila? You just seem very convinced.

Liam: You know, it was just something that was bugging me. This feeling that I had. Something wasn’t right. So I got detective sanchez to bring me up some evidence so I can take a closer look at it.

Steffy: We put her toe under a microscope.

Finn: There is no sign that a wild animal clawed or chewed this off. There’s no sign of traumatic amputation. This was cut cleanly. Evenly sliced with a sharp knife to make it look like it was torn off.

Steffy: By none other than nurse sheila carter. Unless she had help from someone else. ()

Liam: All right. One more reality check. Katie is not leaving your family. She’s a loving, devoted mother and you’re a damn good father. But you have to accept the fact that you two have not been an item in a long time.

Bill: Not officially, maybe. But it’s always been right there under the surface. Just a matter of when, not if. Everybody knew that we would end up together.

Liam: You really think that?

Bill: Katie or brooke. I was meant to be with one or the other.

Liam: Yeah. Yeah, but you can’t have both.

>Bill: You know me pretty well, liam. And you know that I don’t like when somebody tells me what I can and cannot have in my business affairs or affairs of the heart. Have I made mistakes? Sure. We all have. But I have loved them, I have cared for them, I have protected them, and this is what I get in return? Nobody betrays my trust and nobody dismisses me. I am dollar bill spencer.

Liam: Hey, hey, hey. You’re fired up. I see it. I get it. But promise me you’re not going to do something drastic.

[ Exhales ]

[ Clearing throat ]

Carter: Sorry, I have something in my throat. Let’s run that back. So you’re looking for a guy who’s not in love with your sister?

Katie: Yeah! Just one small little thing. Is that too much to ask?

Carter: No, not at all. And I want to go on record to say that although I respect brooke, I admire her, I appreciate her, I enjoy working with her, but that’s it, that’s as far as it goes.

Katie: Are you sure? Are you sure you’ve never been interested in brooke?

Carter: No.

Katie: Positive?

Carter: No, not once. The only logan I have my eye on is the one I’m staring at. You’re amazing, katie. I mean, you’re vibrant, you’re genuine, you’re smart. I mean, you’re funny. And you’re beautiful. Very beautiful.

Deacon: Come on, there’s no way that–

Finn: I can tell you’re freaking out, deacon.

Deacon: No– me? I–

Steffy: I mean, we’re freaking out, too. We thought sheila was dead.

Finn: We had convinced ourselves that we were free of sheila and all of her threats. I mean, but now we’re sure she’s alive.

Deacon: Have you taken this theory to detective sanchez? And have you mentioned this to the cops?

Steffy: No, we came here first.

Deacon: Wh– here? Why?

Steffy: Because you and sheila have a history.

Deacon: Oh. Come on, no.

Finn: As soon as sheila came back to town, hope and I saw you with her at el giardino. You guys were clearly an item.

Deacon: Okay, that was ages ago, and I would hardly call us an item. Look, she’s got a very strong personality and can be a little difficult to say no to.

Steffy: We just thought sheila might have some help pulling this all off.

Finn: And what we do know is she has very few friends in L.A. And she would probably be reaching out to someone at some point.

Steffy: Yeah, she has no one to turn to… except you. So if you know anything, where she’s been, where she’s going, it’d be great if you can tell us.

Finn: Having information not coming forward, that would create a hell of a lot of problems.

Steffy: I’m not trying to accuse you of anything, but if you could just shed a light on her whereabouts, if you know anything.

Deacon: Look, if sheila’s still alive, I have no idea where she is.

Finn: Okay. Let us know if she reaches out. Sheila’s a dangerous woman. None of us are safe with her on the loose.

Deacon: I know.

Steffy: Thanks.

Update written by Barbara

Sally is about to go into Society and when she notices Nick outside, she almost leaves.

Sally tells Nick she can get her own table but Nick says he’s still working through something regarding them but he could use company while he “crushes some pancakes.”

Michael and Lauren are at Society and make small talk with Sally and Nick. When Sally and Nick head to their table, Lauren speculates about their bond. Michael is busy reading the breakfast menu and deciding if he wants a frittata or crabcakes benedict.  He has zero interest in Sally and Nick.  The only thing on his mind is food. Lauren continues to wonder what’s going on between Sally and Nick.

At their table, Sally mentions that she can feel Lauren staring  and Nick tells her that as a Newman, he has learned not to care about the scrutiny. She asks if he’s read everything that Victor’s people found about her. He says that he has. She tells him that she has been involved shady dealings, some of which he may not know about, and offers to tell him about everything if he wants.

Summer arrives and grimaces at seeing her dad with Sally.  Summer goes over to their table and asks to speak with her dad alone. Sally excuses herself and says she has to call Chloe.  Sally goes to the front of the restaurant holding her phone as if she’s talking to Chloe, all the while watching Nick and Summer like a hawk.

As Summer sits down, Nick talks to her about Sally turning her life around and reminds Summer that she has done some nasty things, such as making Kyle marry her the first time so she would give part of her liver to Lola, who he was in love with at the time.  Nick says that Sally deserves a shot at redemption as did Summer.

Summer is leery, although Nick insists that Sally regrets her past entanglemen with Summer. She tells her dad she thinks Sally’s after his money but he explains that he offered Sally a lot of money to start her new business endeavor but she turned him down and wouldn’t even take a loan.

Sally goes over to Lauren and Michael’s table, where Lauren says she’s sorry about Sally having lost the job at Newman Media.  Michael agrees with Lauren’s decision to give Sally a second chance after her misdeeds.  Sally is appreciative and tells her that she’s not going back into designing. Lauren asks her about it and she tells her that she’s got “something percolating.”

After Sally leaves, Michael gets a ping from his phone that there’s a text. Before he even opens it, Lauren knows who it is and tells him to say hello to Victor for her. Victor’s text says that he needs to talk to Michael and it’s urgent. Lauren is not happy about the situation, but understands that Michael takes his business with Victor very seriously.

At the Abbott house, Jack and Diane talk about the weather. She’s upbeat and thanks him for letting her stay over. When he comments about how early she must have gotten up, she tells him she did to avoid giving a wrong impression.

Ashley comes into the living room and angrily demands to know what’s going on.

Diane leaves for the office while Ashley fumes. Jack asks her if she had anything to do with Jeremy Stark showing up at their house and she throws a question back at him about whether DIane’s staying there just to get into his bed. She also tells him that she had nothing to do with Stark being in town. Next, Kyle comes into the living room and reveals that he confronted Stark the night before in his hotel room at The Grand Phoenix.

Jack worries because that’s where Diane lives. He gets on the phone to have someone bring Diane home from work.  For his part, Kyle is furious that his mom has been put in danger.

Ashley gets a text from Tucker asking her to meet and she texts back “yes”.

At Crimson Lights, Victoria and Nikki talk about Nick and how distracted he is about Sally having been fired.   Nikki looks past Victoria and gasps at seeing Jeremy Stark. When Nikki tells her who she sees, Victoria knows that he’s a money launderer.  Nikki tells Victoria that he just got out of prison and her involvement in his arrival in Genoa City is “complicated”. Stark looks at them, Nikki becomes uncomfortable, suggests to Victoria that they discuss  the matter elsewhere and the two women beat a hasty retreat out of the coffee house, scurrying past Stark.

At Jabot, Diane finds Phyllis knocking at Jack’s office door. Phyllis tells her that Jack’s not there and Phyllis will wait for him so she can clear some things up with him. She starts mocking Diane’s sobbing from the previous day and Diane relishes telling Phyllis that she spent the night at Jack’s home.

Phyllis asks Diane if she had sex with Jack. Diane puts on a demure show before admitting that she slept in a guest room. When Phyllis asks why, Diane tells her that Jack has become concerned about the threat of Jeremy Stark. The elevator door opens and who gets off, but Stark.

When introduced to Phyllis and Diane, Stark asks the women if they’re friends. In unison, they say a resounding “no”.

Stark says Phyllis’ voice seems familiar, to which she responds that she just has “one of those voices.”

Phyllis turns to go and a scared Diane asks her to stay, saying that she has something to talk to her about.  Phyllis refuses to stick around, leaving Diane alone with Stark.

At the Newman office, Nikki fills Victoria in on everything that happened, culminating in  Phyllis letting Stark know where he could find Diane.  They continue talking about the situation when Victor arrives.

He tells them that he heard Jeremy Stark is in town, informs them that he is dangerous and “the threat is real”.  He says that Stark will not be allowed in Newman Tower or at the ranch. He also tells them to cut ties with Phyllis.

The elevator door opens and Michael rushes out, asking Victor what’s going on.  Victor says that he wants him to find out everything he can about Jeremy Stark.

Over at Jabot, Diane tries to get Stark to leave and when he won’t, she rushes him into Jack’s office.  He starts issuing threatening remarks to Diane and ultimately reveals that all he wants is for her to give him his money back. He tells her that it is all the money he has, that it was his last shipment and that he knows it was not confiscated by the feds and remained in Diane’s possession.

Diane tells Stark that she does not have his money anymore because she used it to rebuild her life after he left her “high and dry.”  She says that she kept waiting for the feds to come and lock her up for crimes that he made her do. Stark yells that the money was not hers to spend.  Jack arrives and looks horrified seeing Stark in the office with Diane.

Update written by Barbara

In Tucker’s suite, he and Audra talk about Jeremy Stark being in Genoa City and Tucker mentions mutual connections giving him leverage on Diane Jenkins.

At the Glam Club, Adam and Noah have an uncomfortable encounter after which Noah sees Audra arriving.  She tells him that she wants him back. She gets all dreamy eyed and says they can try again and find everlasting love. Then she kisses him. At first, Noah kisses her back but then he pushes her away and states that there’s no future for them. He reminds her that he has a girlfriend and says that he has finally found happiness again. Audra tries to get through to Noah about what they could have together and when he shuts her down she sadly says “message received” and leaves.

Over at Crimson Lights, Billy comes upon Lily with Daniel. Awkward. Daniel invites Billy to join them, but Lily sarcastically says that Billy must be tired after his latest mission of mercy for Chelsea. Lily says she plans to go back to work, tells Billy that she doesn’t know how late she’s going to be and not to wait up for her.

After Billy leaves, Daniel invites Lily to have dessert with him – red velvet cupcakes – (compliments of Sharon) and they spend time together, smiling and laughing.

Billy goes to the Glam Club and runs into Adam there, drinking alone. Adam needles Billy about Lily dumping him since it has become non-stop “The Billy and Chelsea Show”.

Adam tells Billy to take a step back from Chelsea, but Billy says he can’t do that and the two guys trade barbs.  Adam leaves and Billy warns Noah that Adam seems to be slipping into his “dark prince” ways again.

Afterward, Adam bumps into Lily and Daniel at Crimson Lights and tries to strike a nerve with Lily over Billy and Chelsea being “attached at the hip”. However, all this does is anger her and she stomps out of the coffee house, with Daniel right behind her.

At the Abbott house, Diane accepts Jack’s offer to stay in a guest room as she breaks down in Jack’s arms and sobs about Jeremy Stark coming after her.  Jack gets a text and Diane freaks when he says he has to go back to Jabot for to take care of a quick business matter.

Jack tells Diane that she’s safe there at the Abbott house, which has a sophisticated security system that’s armed. After he leaves, however, she gets spooked by every little noise she hears and worries that Jeremy is lurking around the grounds. She paces in the living room, looks out the front door nervously, and sees that there’s nobody outside.

When Jack goes to Jabot, he finds Phyllis there and demands to know if she contacted Jeremy to tell him Diane’s whereabouts. They get into a *huge* argument, yelling at the top of their lungs, about whether she did or did not tip Jeremy off to where he could find Diane. Phyllis shrieks about being vilified while Diane is always the victim.

Jack tells her that Jeremy came to the Abbott house, under the same roof where their grandson Harrison lives, and a look of concern crosses her face.

As their fight becomes even more heated, Jack tells Phyllis that she’s employed under the Jabot umbrella because he approved it.  “I am Jabot,” he yells at her.  After he points out Marchetti is a subsidiary of Jabot, he warns Phyllis that he’ll throw her out of the building if any harm comes to Kyle, Summer, Harrison or Diane.

When Jack returns home, he finds Diane asleep on the couch and startles her.

Audra knocks on the door of Tucker’s suite. He opens the door in his robe and is surprised that she’s showed up again. She takes off her coat to reveal sensual lingerie and they start kissing.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

No offense dear Meemaw God, but this is disgusting. I thought you were getting used to it. Did I say that? Mm-hmm. . You also said that you were starting to feel better, which proves that while my grandmother’s hangover recipe may not win any points for, uh, It does work if you say so. Have I ever stayed you wrong?

Oh, too many times to count . Ouch. I’m just kidding. Ej. Now you were really kind to me last night. You needed a friend

and frankly, so did I. Oh, I’m glad I could be there for, Back at you, Ms. Walker. Back at you

What’s going on here?

You there? Fuss? What are you doing here? Well, hi. Could you call in sick for a second day in a row? Just wanna make sure you’re okay. That’s very nice of you. But I, I’m fine. Uh, the doctor who did the procedure said I can go back to work tomorrow. I see. So, uh, guess that means, yeah, I, uh, I got the abortion, so you want to be my lawyer.

You just said your sister won’t represent. I have other options. None better than me. Is that so? Oh, it’s so since you don’t believe it, why don’t you hire me for yourself and find out?

Good morning. Hey Abe. Hi sweetheart. How you holding up? Well, I am missing our king size bed. Thousand threads. Count sheets, but I’m hanging in there. And what about you, kiddo? Must have been nice spending the night at home. I’m very grateful that bail got me out on bail, but I will not be okay until mama is free.

They never should have arrested her in the first place. They need to let her go. Abraham, please, please tell us. You have some good news on that front. I’m afraid. Not

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

Hey. Hey. If you’re looking for Paul, the Chanels in there with her now. Yeah, no, I let her go ahead of me. I just saw Abe go in there too. Do you want me to go in there and break it up? Uh, no. No. It’ll do Paul, some good to spend some time with her family and. That’ll give us some time to talk about my brother.

Yeah. Yeah. When we went for that drink, I, uh, I wasn’t expecting to walk in on that. Yeah. Nicole picking EJ up off the floor after Eric Dham. Neither did I. Yeah. It was so strange, strange seeing him like that. And he was belligerent to hangry and been drinking and assaulting people, including you. No, I, I hated the way that he behaved and.

How outta control he was. But I don’t know. My heart is just breaking for him. You know, I, I can see how much pain he’s in, and now you’re having second thoughts about not taking his case. I just can’t get the image outta my head, you know, my big brother sitting in jail all alone with nobody in his corner.

So what do you. I don’t know if that would be such a good idea because of my reputation. I try not to judge people, but when everyone and their mother calls me an ambulance chaser, it’s hard. I get it. But the thing that all those haters fail to mention is I tend to catch what I chase.

You sure? You don’t want anything to eat? No, I’m not hungry. You sure you’re feeling okay? I walked in. I couldn’t help but notice you were taking a pill. Oh, they’re, they’re just for. Which is basically gone. I just feel terrible about missing work. I mean, the department’s understaffed as it is. No, no, no. Jay, listen to me.

What’s important to me is that you take care of yourself. Listen, if you’re not ready to come back to work, no, I am hanging around. Here is the last thing I want to do.

If you wanna ask me something, just. Ask. I don’t mind talking to you about this. Okay. All right. Yeah, it’s just tough. On Thanksgiving, you told me that you decided that you weren’t gonna keep the baby, and I know that Eric hooked, otherwise. He did. But in the end, I, I had to do a space for me, which was totally your right.

I assume Merick understands that yes, but he was still not happy that I had changed my mind and ended the pregnancy without telling him. Was he angry? No, he was confused, very upset.

His new girlfriend on the other hand, must be very relieved. I would assume so. Nicole made it pretty clear that she did not want me to have the baby.

Somebody’s gonna answer me. I mean, I walk in here and find you two hugging on my dead grandmother’s bed. Yes, Johnny. It’s not what it looks like really? Cuz it looks like the two of you just got it on. Johnny, you don’t understand. Fuck Dad. I get that you’re grieving. Okay. But it doesn’t give you the right to have sex with RA’s wife.

Yes, I do need a lawyer. Paulina Price’s husband is like an uncle to me and her daughter is dating my niece. Boy, your niece should get as far away as possible from Chanel Dupree. She killed my mother. I know I heard you get in into it with Paulina, but she said it was an accident. Oh, that is a complete lie.

My father was Chanel’s College Profess. That little slut seduced him, a married man twice her age with two children, and then in a jealous reach, she pushed my mother off the roof of the building and claimed it was suicide. That doesn’t sound like Chanel. I mean, she’s a good kid. Oh, well obviously that good kid is adapt to hiding her homicidal tendencies.

You know, most those all sociopaths are these actual events occurred that why wasn’t she arrested years ago? Because Paulina covered. She buried the evidence. She gave the school a very generous donation to make it all go away, and my father kept that secret for me for a very long time. But honest Buddy told me the truth, which I’m telling you right now.

You do believe me. Yeah, it’s just a lot to take in.

I didn’t do it.

My dad couldn’t bear the pain, so he started drinking, eventually drank himself to death.

I loved my parents so much. Now they’re both gone.

You know what? It feels like you have what means most to you in this school? Taken. Yes, I do.

Look, I know you don’t like Rafe, but he’s a good guy. He doesn’t deserve this. Rafe is a good guy, which is why I would never cheat on him with your father. No offense. No. Take him. Okay. Well, Nicole, if you’re not hooking up with my dad, then what are you doing? Simple. I had no place to go. So there’s no place else to go with this.

I called everyone in my overseas contacts. Oh, no one can work any jurisdictional magic and make these charges disappear. What about even the people you know in Scotland? Unfortunately none. Their hands are tied. I even called one of Shane Donovan’s contacts at the American Embassy in in London, and was he any help?

She, and unfortunately, no. Come on. Don’t they understand that what Chanel did was it was an accident. Excuse me. Oh, gas winter. What city? Council president. I wonder what he wants. One way to find out,

do you understand the kind of pain that I’m in? Did you lose your parents tragically? No, you’re very much alive and still a part of my life. And how can you empathize with me? Because I recently learned I was going to be a father. It was a complicated situation. I broke up with my ex and she decided she was gonna have the baby first.

And way we agreed we were gonna co-parent. I was really happy

she decided to have an abortion. She had entered her pregnancy before I even knew it was done. That must have been very painful. Yes, it was. And compounding the pain. It’s the woman that I love went behind my back and she told my act to her pregnancy. I’m sorry.

I am guessing something stemming from that situation is what, uh, landed you in this posh establishment. Give the lady a price. Sounds like we both got screwed. I don’t know about you, but I’m not the type of person to just roll over and take it. Someone pushes me, I push back. I’m a fighter and I’m willing to fight for you if you’d let me.

Well, what exactly did Nicole say to you? Well, she asked me why I’d wanna be tied to a man forever. Who didn’t love me, and she reminded me of how incredibly difficult that would be. What, yeah. And then she ran down a list of reasons of why single motherhood would suck, and that even if I, you know, had this baby and was juggling a child and being a cop, that I would feel at both, even with Eric’s support, I cannot believe Nicole did that I can, she was not going to let anything stand in the way between her and Eric.

Not me, not her marriage to you. I’m definitely not my pregnancy. You and Rafer getting divorced. What? Johnny? Johnny, that’s none of your concern. You’re right. You’re right. And, uh, sorry for prying Nicole, and I’m sorry for jumping to conclusions about what I walked in on. It’s okay. EJ was nice enough to offer me and Holly a place to stay after I blew up my life yet again.

That’s all this was. Now if you gentlemen will excuse me. Um, I’m gonna go take a shower and get to the office.

Well, that was awkward. Ever hear of knocking? Yeah. Yeah. I would have. I just didn’t think I needed to. I, I wanted to feel close to, uh, grandma Susan. She and I spent a lot of time together in this room, and I thought maybe I’d feel her spirit or something. I don’t know. It was, it was dumb. No, it’s not dumb and all.

Son, would you like me to move Nicole to a different room? No, no, no. Grandma was, she was all about being generous. She’d liked that someone you care about staying here and I’m sorry for going off on you earlier. Ah, I suppose I can’t blame you for thinking the worst of me, given what you learned in Jakarta, that Lee and Rolf brainwashed your brother and you kept quiet.

I was under the impression that you were going to keep quiet about it as well. I hope you’re not having second thoughts, son. There’s just so much bad blood between Sammy and me. The last thing I want is to be estranged from Eric too. Well, it sounds like you’ve made up your mind. Well, I have, but this still concerns you.

So if you don’t want me to, Hey, Val, listen to me. I would never wanna stand in the way of you representing your. All right. I want you to do what you feel is right. You are the best husband ever, . All right, I’ll go tell Eric that you decided to take his case. That right, it won’t be necessary. I’m sorry. You don’t have to defend me, sis.

I heard someone else. Who

me.

I see. Well, uh, thank you for reaching out to me directly gas. Oh, yes, yes. I’ll, I’ll, uh, I’ll get back to you with an answer as soon as. Please do not tell me he’s asking you to cut some damn ribbon when your family’s in crisis. It’s a bit more pressing than that. Well, what is it, Abe? The city council is asking me to resign as mayor effective immediately.

The city council is asking you to resign as soon as possible. Well, why? Why? Why are they doing this? Well, the way ca put it, the optics are not good. The mayor of being married to the governor elect, who allegedly is covering up a murder, optics are not the truth. Now, someone over there asked to know that I’m the reason, I’m the reason why they want Abe to reside, and I’m the reason why you can’t enjoy your big win.

Oh, no baby. No, no. I’m sorry mama. I have to go. Hello. Chanel. Chanel.

Okay, Eric, you’re angry with me. That’s fine. Be angry, but do not hire this snake out of spite. Find someone else. Anyone else you call Justin. Kek. I think I was in preschool the last time. That guy won a case. Shut up. Hey, don’t talk to my lawyer that way. Well, you wouldn’t be defending her if you knew how she operated.

Do you know what she’s doing to Paul and Chanel what I’m doing to them? How about what they did to me? That little slut murdered my mother and then her mommy goes and papered over her with hush money. Okay, Eric, if nothing. Think about what hiring her is gonna say to Abe. As far as I know, Abe’s always up for justice.

Yeah. Well, Sloan’s not out for justice. She’s out for revenge. And anything that will inflict the most amount of pain on Abe’s family. Yeah. From what I understand, Ms. Peterson here, she exposed a crime and coverup. So if anyone’s the victim, it’s her.

Hey, where the hell does Nicole get? After everything that went down. Instead of leaving you alone, she decides to lecture you especially about something that’s so personal and so private free. Listen, don’t misunderstand me, it was 100% my decision to have this abortion. If I was ready to be a mother, no one, especially Nicole would change my mind about that.

Okay? Yeah, that’s fine. But she’s still, she had no right to pressure you. Oh man. You know, I forgot how incredibly selfish Nicole can be when she’s trying to get something that she wants. And what she wants and has always wanted is Eric,

well, this, now there’s one less obstacle on her way. I wouldn’t be so sure about that. What does that mean? Let’s just say. Eric wasn’t too happy when he found out that she interfered.

I told you, I’ll keep my mouth shut and I will. What about Lee’s little sister? Wendy’s not gonna say anything. You need to look, relax. Got nothing to worry about.

Thank you, son. Don’t, don’t thank me. I feel horrible about keeping this secret. I think Stephan has a right. So you said, yeah, I’ll say it again. What Ralph did, erasing Stephan’s memories for Gabby. That’s messed up. Like I said before, I didn’t become aware of the brainwashing until after the fact. Didn’t stop from taking advantage of it, using it to take the company back, and I will not apologize for that.

For doing what was absolutely necessary to protect father’s company and your legacy. This was about family Giovanni. Is the only reason Wendy and I are keeping our mouth shut as wrong as we both think this is. She doesn’t wanna destroy your brother’s life, and I I don’t wanna destroy yours either.

You’re suffering enough after losing Grandma. We all are.

Well, Chanel’s not picking up. You want me to go find her? No, no. Give her a little space. She’ll calm down. But you, you must be asking yourself if jumping that broom with me on Juneteenth for such a good idea. You wouldn’t, would never regret marrying you. Even if, um, I’m about to cost you your. You know, I already intended to step down as mayor and accompany you to the state capitol.

That was before Sloane Peterson dropped this bomb on us. Well, she’s not going to derail plans. Oh, hey babe. Come on. We’re at the center of an international scandal. Now, even if I took off that, which has already ruined my chances of being a successful governor, oh, we don’t know that. Well, here’s what I do.

There’s absolutely no reason for you to bow out when I’ll probably never even be sworn in.

Hey, uh, is, is Wendy home? Uh, no. I, I think that she probably went to work and. Ali is at the bakery and I, I’m all alone. Chanelle, what’s going on? You okay? Ho? No I’m not.

You hurt me correctly, Ms. Trask. I no longer wish to press charges against Eric Brady. I see no reason to continue to waste our time or the taxpayer’s money on such an unfortunate. Thank you for doing that. I know how hard it is to resist the urge to stick it to Eric. I promised you I dropped the charges and I’m nothing if not a man of my word, generally speaking.

Of course, . Of course. Well, I’m gonna get going. I look forward to seeing you tonight for dinner. I’ll have chef. Make us up a nice dinner with a special dessert for Holly. Oh, and I’ve also asked Harold to get her room ready right next to yours. Of course, ej, uh, about us moving in. Mm-hmm. , I’m not sure it’s a good idea.

Eric, listen to me. I know that you’re going through a hard time right now. I’m fine. No, you’re not. You just spent the night in jail, which is where sharks like Sloan Peterson spend their time circling trying to get to vulnerable people like you, please. And I’m sure she gave you her big pitch about how she’s the best, right?

But don’t fall for that. Why are you making such a big deal? Except that her offer, because my own sister refused. Bella wants to take your case. You changed her mind, Eric. Yeah. We’re a little too late for that, isn’t it? Okay, great. Then unsettled. So why don’t we walk across the street and see about getting these ridiculous charges dropped?

Sounds like a good idea. It’s trash. Detective Brady,

and what if I choose not to?

Okay. All right. All right. I’ll let them out. What was that about? Well, uh, EJ declined pressing charges against Eric. Excellent. That means the DA doesn’t have a case unless you want to be responsible for prosecuting your brother-in-law. It’s not that simple. Why? What do you mean? SK is going after Eric for assaulting a police officer, whether I wanted to or not.

I thought you wanted to move in. I did, but ej now your son is accusing us of having an affair . So, so that, that doesn’t bother you. It was a misunderstanding. Well, even if it was how, how long until the rest of your family starts gossiping about us and then the entire town. Look . My life is a hot mess.

Right now, and, and I really, I don’t wanna deal with this since when does Nicole Walker give a rat’s ass what anyone in Sadam thinks? Uh, since I now have a young daughter, but not so young that she wouldn’t notice dirty looks when I drop her off at school. Or whispers and finger pointing when we walk through the square.

I just don’t wanna expose Holly to that. Would you be doing anything wrong by living?

No. Would you be choosing the best possible situation for your family, I suppose then it’s settled. You and Holly are going to move in here and you can stay for as long as you want. Anyone who has an opinion on that can bloody well shove it.

Glad you decided to eat something. Thanks for looking out for me, boss Hunter. I will always have your back on the job or off. I appreciate that and I hope I didn’t come off as petty earlier. No matter how I feel about Nicole, I mean she is still your wife, not for much longer even so I shouldn’t have gotten.

I heck not. I mean, it’s understandable. You have every right to be upset. She, uh, she basically ruined your relationship with Eric from day one. Yeah. You meet with all her unannounced visits to his room or her decision to offer him a job, or better yet to come over and give him another comforting hug. Oh, those were great, weren’t they?

I loved walking in on those, but, but, but remember, we’re just friends. Yeah. Friends who can’t keep their hands or lips off of each other. I mean, Eric said that he was in denial about his feelings about her, and I believe that, but Nicole , you’re right. You know, I don’t think I’ve ever met a more passive aggressive, just selfish.

Sorry, I’m doing it again. No, no, no. Hey, go ahead. Let all out. As much as I love to keep ripping, Nicole, it’s, it’s just not productive, but it’ll feel good. Mm. Not in the long. If I really wanna get past this, I have to rise above. Meaning when I made this decision, I, I had to ask myself, what is it that I really want?

And I decided that it wasn’t being a single mother, not under these circumstances.

It was the hardest decision that I’ve ever made that I, I made it and. I need to honor my decision by focusing all my energy on creating the life that I want. You know, so any trash talking negative self pity, I, I just need to put that aside and do what my daddy taught me and be the bigger person there.

Go d your daddy Marks, he was a wise man. Yeah. So I mean, Nicole. Eric, no more power to her. Obviously, I, I wasn’t up to the task. Don’t sell yourself. Sure. Fix was in. I wish I would’ve known. No, I did know and I chose to ignore it. You know, I, I looked right past the fact that when you get involved with Nicole Walker or Eric Brady, you choose to end up like all the rest that have come before.

Just a speed bump on their never ending road toss. Uh, well, gps let assistant know where the next exit is. . , get me the heck outta here, right? Oh man. Sorry,

Fernandez.

Okay. All right. Okay, well, uh, thanks a lot for letting me.

Something up at the station. Yeah, I guess you could say that Eric, spend the night in lockup. What, Sean? Why can’t you just refuse to cooperate with prosecution? Look, Trask has other witnesses from the bar that night. If this goes to trial, she’s gonna call me and I’m gonna have no choice but to testify.

This is outrageous. Who are you calling?

Melinda? SLM Peterson. No, actually I’m calling about my new client, Eric Brady. No, you listen. I just handed you not one, but two career making cases.

And you can settle up by putting an end to this witch hunt against Mr. Brady

Trask. Agreed to drop all the charges, so said I’m free to go. Yes, sir.

I don’t even know how to pay you. Oh, personal check. Venmo, PayPal. We start with breakfast. . I’d like that. Hey Eric, you can’t just leave. We need to talk. There’s nothing left to say.

And surely this, this Sloan person has to know that her mother’s death was an accident. No, she doesn’t. She’s convinced that it’s murder. Can’t you talk to her, help her see things from your side? Oh no. Gee, you don’t understand. She is so angry, so hell bent on revenge that she is not gonna stop. She’s not gonna give.

She is determined to take me down. She has made that her life’s mission. Me and now my mom and Abe, my Aunt Bell will not let that happen. What is already happening? I am destroying my parents’ lives. Yeah. You listen to me, Mrs. Carver. We will get you out of here and get you to Capitol City and we will weather this.

Just like we have every other since you captured my heart. Okay. Okay. You’ll be sworn in as governor and I’ll be right there by your side as first gentleman. Just like we planned. You know, the city council. City Council may have done me a favor. What are you doing? Giving them my answer. Hello Cass. I just wanted to, uh, Give the city council my answer to what they’ve asked of me, and I’ve been, and he has decided he’s not going to step down, not now, not ever.

Eric got drunk and assaulted EJ and. I can’t, Eric’s never even raised his voice. I can’t imagine him putting hands on anyone, let alone a cop. No, you haven’t known Eric that long. It’s not the first time that this guy has spiraled outta control. Really? Oh yeah. He dodged a bullet hunter and something tells me that this is just the beginning of St.

Eric’s fall from.

Whoa. Whoa, buddy. Slow down there. Big guy. Sorry. The food and lockup was akin to something that a cat regurgitated. I was gonna say not great, but yeah, I can be, uh, overly blunt at time some. Sure. You find that very unappealing. Absolutely not. It works for you. It works for me too. And thank you again. I really appreciate this.

Hey, Eric. I’m, I’m glad to see you out. DJ told me he dropped the charges. He had nothing to do with getting me outta lockup, my lawyer did. Thank you. Sloan Peterson, Al Squire. Pleasure to meet you. Nicole Walker. I’m Oh, I know exactly who you are. Mrs. Robbins, Roberts, Keka Dam. Cook Brady Hernandez. I forgetting.

Anybody like me, your reputation precedes you.

Oh, seeing Eric, like this just really scares me. He can handle Sloan maybe, but what about his. You know, he was drinking and driving the last time he was in a place this dark, some really bad things happened. I know. Listen, I understand your concern, honey, but Eric’s come a long way since then. Yes, right now he’s love a rough patch, but he’s gonna get through it.

I pray. You’re right. You have that go Pauline’s waiting for me. You want me to go with you? Help explain, uh, Eric’s choice of attorney. Uh, no, I think I got it. I will. Tell Abe that even though Sloane got her tentacles into my brother, there’s no way in hell I’m gonna let her cause any more damage to his family.

Paulina, what are you doing? You heard me? Councilman Winthrop, my husband is staying put. No, no. You don’t have to worry about any trouble arising from a being married to a governor at an invest. How can I be so sure easy? Because I won’t be Governor Beth. I know. I know. I’ve been elected, but I haven’t been sworn in yet, and I’ve decided that I never will be.

Why didn’t you tell me any of this when we were together? Because I was ashamed. I had an affair with a married man, and I didn’t want anyone know about it. Not you, not Allie, remember, would’ve judged you. I know that now. I honestly thought that all of this was behind me, and then this Sloan Peterson showed up in town and, and then all of a sudden I’m being arrested in the middle of the square.

I’m so sorry I wasn’t here for that. I left Salem at the worst time possible. I I wasn’t here for you. I wasn’t here when my grandma Susan died. What? Your, your grandma died. Allie didn’t tell you? No, but she, she probably didn’t wanna lay anything else on me, but I am so sorry Johnny. I know how much you loved her.

I did.

I mean, I’m just going on about my life and, and you, you’re, you must be hurting so bad. I am. Yeah. Um, so is my dad, coach Lee Projections. I know they’re here somewhere. Oof.

So much for instantaneous relief.

I’ll get it housed.

Oh my God.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Diane: [ Sniffles ] [ Sighs ] On second thought, I — I would love to spend the night in one of your guest rooms. Thank you.

Jack: It’s the least I can do. I want you to feel safe and protected. This is the best place for you. I’m gonna text mrs. Martinez, tell her you’re spending the night.

Diane: I — I don’t know what I would do without you. I mean, honestly, jack, I am…

[ Voice breaking ] I am just so tired.

Jack: Hey. Hey. You can turn in whenever you’re ready.

Diane: [ Crying ] No, it’s — it’s not about — it’s not about today or [Sniffles] — Or what happened with jeremy. I just feel like these last few months have been such a journey, home and — and earning a place in my son’s life. I feel like every time that i overcame an obstacle, there would just be another boulder thrown in my path.

Jack: And somehow you have moved every single one out of your way. I admire that.

Diane: [ Sniffles ] Well, if I have, I — I owe it to you.

Jack: Don’t give me too much credit.

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: You’ve made giant strides.

Diane: I have worked so hard to get past those dark days, you know, living in fear of — of being arrested or some other escalation on jeremy’s part, afraid of — afraid of the demands he’d make on my — on my freedom or — or even my life.

Jack: You have had more than your share of challenges, and you have faced them all with grace and elegance.

Diane: Well, I don’t know about that, but if it’s true, I — I — I do give you the credit.

Jack: Wait. How so?

Diane: Because it’s been…

[ Sniffles ] It’s been so long since I’ve had somebody looking out for me and caring for me. And now I have you and I — I have kyle. And I just can’t tell you how — how much it means to me to

[Sobbing] Not be alone anymore.

Jack: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Diane: [ Sobbing ]

Jack: Hey. Hey.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Diane: Oh, god, I’m sorry.

Jack: No, let me just — let me just check this.

Diane: Okay. I’m sorry.

[ Groans ]

Jack: [ Inhales deeply ]

Diane: Is everything alright?

Jack: Yeah. Uh… this is something I have to deal with, though. Um…I promise you, I will be right back.

Diane: What? You’ve got to leave? What happened?

Tucker: Care for a drink? Or maybe a watch to replace the one that’s obviously broken?

[ Chuckles ]

Audra: Apologies for being tardy, but I do have a life of my own and a job at chancellor-winters. What was this urgent information I needed to know?

Tucker: I have been informed that jeremy stark is in genoa city.

Audra: Fresh out of federal prison and he finds his way here? That’s not a coincidence.

Tucker: No. And I’m sure he wants to make diane squirm.

Audra: She must be absolutely terrified. I mean, he has to be looking for a little revenge, right? But what about you? Should you strap on a bulletproof vest in case stark comes looking for you?

Tucker: [ Chuckles ]

Noah: Adam.

Adam: What?

Noah: It’s good to see you, man.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Nephew. It’s been a while.

Noah: Yeah. Yeah, I guess it has.

Adam: Uh, well, if you’re worried that your father’s gonna show up and there’s gonna be another round of uncomfortable sibling rivalry, you don’t have to worry.

Noah: Alright. I’m glad to hear it.

Adam: Saw nick earlier. I’m pretty sure he’s otherwise occupied.

Noah: Okay, then.

Adam: Alright. Well, I’ll let you get to it. But if you see a server, maybe you could send them my way?

Noah: Yeah. Will do.

Adam: Thank you.

Lily: Okay, I love crimson lights. I do. But this is your post-dinner surprise?

Daniel: Yeah. Thought you could use some dessert.

Lily: I said no to the dessert menu at society.

Daniel: I know. But I know that you still wanted something sweet. You just didn’t want it from there.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Okay. Are you psychic now?

Daniel: Mm. Better. Impeccable memory. How could I ever forget how much lily winters loves dessert?

Lily: [ Laughs ] Okay, fine. Red velvet cupcake and a cappuccino.

Daniel: Cappuccino? At this hour?

Lily: Yeah, you know, a ceo’s work is never done.

Daniel: Uh, you’re not really gonna go back to work? I know that was the plan, but it’s getting late.

Lily: No, I have to get back. I have a lot of deadlines pending. But thank you for tagging along.

Daniel: Ooh. Oh, I see. You — you think that this was all about you? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. See, I’m here for some of that red velvet cupcake action, too.

Lily: Okay, well, you better get your own ’cause I’m not sharing.

Daniel: I remember.

Lily: You remember?

Daniel: Yeah. I do.

[ Laughter ] For people who are a little intense about hydration.

Lily: [ Chuckling ] Hi.

Billy: Hey. What a nice surprise. I, uh — I don’t have to bring your brownie home now.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Daniel: Billy. It’s good to see you again.

Billy: Hey. Good to see you.

Daniel: You want to join us?

Lily: Oh, no. I’m sure billy is tired from his latest mission of mercy, right?

Sharon: Oh, I thought I heard familiar voices out here.

Daniel: Does that include mine?

Sharon: What a great surprise. It’s so good to see you. How are you?

Daniel: I’m doing good. I’m doing really, really good.

Sharon: Oh! Glad you’re here. What can I get you?

Daniel: Um… you know, how about, uh — I’m gonna go take a look at the counter and get a closer look at everything.

Sharon: Yeah. Be my guest. You know, the menu’s changed a little since you were here last.

Daniel: Ooh.

Billy: So, what happened to grabbing take-out and burning the midnight oil?

Lily: Well, that was the plan, but then I ran into daniel, so we decided to grab dinner together.

Billy: I see.

Lily: Yeah. What about you? I thought you were gonna be home. But I’m guessing something or someone kept you out? I’m assuming it was chelsea?

Billy: Yeah. I, uh — I brought chelsea some food, watched a little bit of a movie, and I’m happy to say that laughter really is the best medicine.

Lily: Good. I’m glad you cheered her up.

Billy: [ Sighs ] Can we grab some dessert and just, uh — just head home together?

Lily: I can’T. I have more work to do, so I’m gonna get back to the office after I finish my evening with daniel.

Billy: Okay, well, I’ll wait up for you. I would like to, uh, talk about the conversation that you had with chelsea.

Lily: I already told you about that.

Billy: Yeah, I know, but, um… well, hearing it from chelsea, it sounds like you’re making her think that, uh, she’s too dependent on me. And I know that’s how you feel, but I just can’t imagine that you would say those exact words to someone that is in such an emotional, vulnerable state.

Jack: That text was from a business associate in manila who needs some numbers from me, and unfortunately they are in a folder in my laptop at work.

Diane: But it’s so late.

Jack: It is early in the philippines, and I promised him I’d get it to him by the start of business day in london.

Diane: Well, I guess duty calls.

[ Chuckles ]

Jack: I won’t be gone long, okay?

Diane: [ Sighs ] But the house is so quiet.

Jack: Hey, it’s you and me, harrison, his nanny, and mrs. Martinez.

Diane: Oh, well, what — what time does she leave? Do you think if I text her that she’d stay —

Jack: Listen to me. Listen to me. If jeremy is foolish enough to show up at this door, we have a very sophisticated security system. It is on. I know this is a big request, but try to calm down. Try to make yourself at home. Everything you need will be up in the room.

Diane: Alright. Thanks.

Jack: Hope you can get some rest. Good night’s sleep, maybe.

Diane: So do I. I just — I just can’t believe what phyllis, nikki, and ashley have done.

Jack: Don’t worry about them. We will deal with them later. Good night.

Diane: Good night.

[ Sighs ]

Tucker: I’ve never even spoken to jeremy stark, so why would I fear him? Salud.

Audra: Salud. Well, I assumed you and he had crossed paths at some point.

Tucker: We did, in a way. We had some mutual connections, dealt with some of the same people, which came in handy when I needed information.

Audra: I’m sure.

Tucker: Uh-huh. That’s how I found out what he had done to diane, how he kept her under his thumb.

Audra: What did you have to do to this mutual friend to get him to talk?

Tucker: Everyone has their price.

Audra: So, you used that information as leverage over diane so she’d help you with your triumphant return to genoa city.

Tucker: Precisely. So now jeremy stark has no reason to come after me, so i have no reason to fear him. In fact, what I’d like to do is use him to my advantage, which is why I gave the information about him to ashley. I was hoping maybe she or nikki or phyllis would reach out to him and lure him to town.

Audra: Why? What are you up to?

[Oven ding]

Lily: I handled things with chelsea very carefully.

Billy: Okay, well, however you thought you handled them, her interpretation is that she’s become a burden.

Lily: Well, I am sorry she took it that way, but that was not my intention.

Billy: Okay. Can we talk about this when we get home?

Lily: I don’t know how late I’m gonna be, so don’t wait up.

Billy: Lily? Uh, good night, you two.

Sharon: Hey. Good night.

Daniel: Take care.

Sharon: Well, I should probably go and get your food ready instead of talking your ear off.

Daniel: No, no, no, it’s been great catching up. Um…I have missed a lot.

Sharon: Well, why don’t you go grab a seat and relax? I’ll bring your order out to your table.

Daniel: The royal treatment. Love it. [ Chuckles ] Hey.

Lily: Hey.

Daniel: Truth or dare?

Lily: Ugh. Obviously, truth.

Daniel: [ Groans ] Us hanging out tonight.

Lily: It was very fun.

Daniel: Well, I — I agree. That’s not the question, though. Um…did our little impromptu dinner — is that causing problems with billy?

Lily: No. [ Laughs ] No. Everything is fine.

[ Chuckles ]

Noah: Alright, well, can you just take care of it for me? Thank you.

Audra: Noah?

Noah: Hey. How are you?

Audra: Uh…

Noah: That’s alright. I was wondering when I’d see you again after the whole, uh…

Audra: You mean after i walked in here the other day and overheard you telling allie how I lost our baby?

Noah: Yeah.

Audra: I’m sorry for my terrible timing, okay? I thought I’d stay away for a while, give you some time and space to process everything i told you about the miscarriage.

Noah: I just… I can’t stop kicking myself. You know, if I had just handled the end of our relationship better, instead of — instead of leaving, you know, instead of just walking out without telling you, you wouldn’t have been so reluctant to share such monumental news. But I’m glad I know now.

Audra: Good.

Noah: I’m not really sure what’s supposed to happen next. I mean, is there anything I can do to help you heal, help you move on? If it’s an apology you want, it’s yours wholeheartedly. It’s what you deserve.

Audra: You, noah. I want you.

Jack: Yeah, I sent the paperwork through to london. No problem at all. Happy to help. Good talking to you. Bye. Oh, you’re here late.

Phyllis: I could say the same about you.

Jack: Running behind on work now that you’re spending so much time stirring up trouble?

Phyllis: Oh, there it is. There it is. Silly of me to think that we could have a civilized conversation. Unlike diane earlier in society, getting in my face, hurling accusations at me, screaming at the top of her lungs. Seriously? She was just the picture of restraint and elegance, wasn’t she?

Jack: I think diane was well within her rights to respond the way she did.

Phyllis: Oh, okay. Of course you do. She was insane! And look at you, backing her again.

Jack: Her life is in danger. How is she supposed to react?

Phyllis: Please, please.

Jack: And who the hell is the victim here? It’s certainly not you.

Phyllis: You’re just saying what she wants you to say.

Jack: Did you reach out to jeremy stark? Yes or no?

Phyllis: My phone. Look. Is there a phone number you don’t recognize? Check it out. You have my blessing. A text that’s not familiar to you? You want to scan my e-mail, jack?

Jack: I don’t need to look at your phone. I know how well you cover your tracks. I need you to look me in the eye and answer my question. Did you tell jeremy stark where he could find diane? Yes or no? Want your clothes to smell freshly

Noah: Look, I can appreciate that some buried feelings came to the surface, and I’m sure whatever you went through had to have been traumatic. And I’m very, very sorry things ended the way they did. But this conversation cannot happen.

Audra: It’s happening.

Noah: No, it can’T. I have a girlfriend.

Audra: Weren’t you just saying that we should have been more open with each other?

[ Sighs ] I never got over you, okay? I’m — I can’t and I won’t lie about it anymore. I can still close my eyes and see it all. How happy we were before things went wrong. We can have that again.

Noah: Audra…

Audra: We were fire.

Noah: And we got burned.

Audra: This is our chance to try again. But better, stronger, brighter, deeper. The kind of love that lasts forever.

Noah: Why? Our relationship was chaos, audra. Why would you want to go back to that?

Audra: Love is chaos. Okay? It doesn’t make any sense. Someone walks into your life and turns everything upside down, and before you know it, you — you need them like air. No, we’re not finished with each other, not by a long shot. I can see it every time I look into your eyes, every time we’re in the same room together. And I know you feel it, too.

Noah: No. No, no, this isn’t gonna happen.

Billy: This really isn’t my day.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Well, look who it is. Look who’s out and about — and on their own.

Billy: Says the guy sitting in the corner of the club by himself.

Adam: Well, that’s who I am, billy. I’m a lone wolf. At least you have a girlfriend. Unless she’s wised up and dumped you. Why is that? Because it’s the billy and chelsea show all the time now?

[ Scraping ]

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ]

Phyllis: Well, my goodness. Let’s turn your office into an interrogation room.

Jack: Oh, this is not an interrogation. I’m simply asking you to be truthful. Is that too much to ask for anymore?

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness, i love diane. I love her. She’s gotten you and kyle and summer all in a lather. So suspicious of me. This is amazing, you know? But I’ll be the bad guy. I’ll be the evil one because i know I am 100% correct about diane.

Jack: I don’t know what summer or kyle did or said after diane and I left the restaurant. Here’s what I do know. Jeremy stark is in genoa city. He came to my home, to my front door! But you know that.

Phyllis: How would I know that? Stop accusing me, please.

Jack: Did you tell him that diane was there? It’s very easy for you to give him my address.

Phyllis: He’s a criminal. Like he can’t find out where diane is? He has a score to settle with her. What did he want?

Jack: Well, he didn’t want to have a friendly conversation with her about all those years behind bars. He wanted to talk to her about being a grandmother. He brought harrison into this.

Phyllis: He brought harrison into it?

Jack: Yes, he did.

Phyllis: Did — did he threaten harrison?

Jack: No, not overtly. No. He’s smoother than that. But if someone helped him find his way here, that person ought to take responsibility for the hell they have unleashed.

Phyllis: Yeah, and that person is diane jenkins. It’s diane jenkins! That’s why he’s here. I-I — I can’t believe this. I’m still the villain. I’m the bad one again. And diane gets away scot-free, scot-free! I mean, jack, I am so tired of having this conversation with you. Do the math! If diane hadn’t ruined our lives all those years ago, she wouldn’t have gone to los angeles and met jeremy stark. And then, if she would have left when I told her to leave, then this guy wouldn’t be back in town.

Jack: You know what? Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!

Phyllis: No, I’m not stopping!

Jack: I’m done with this! I am done! Hi, I’m angela.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. There’s something new from better than bouillon

Daniel: Oh, my god. These look absolutely phenomenal.

Sharon: Even better — they’re on the house. Welcome home, daniel.

Lily: Thank you.

Daniel: Thank you.

Lily: [ Laughs ] Yay.

Daniel: So, um, these late-night coffee and cupcake runs — is this normal for chancellor-winters, or is this just, like, a one-time thing? Because I’m trying to manage my expectations.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Uh, no, it’s not normal. Although I wouldn’t mind. We do have a lot of late nights. But, um, I actually like the late nights. I don’t know. I find that I’m more productive ’cause it’s quiet, I feel more focused, you know? What about you?

Daniel: Oh, night owl all the way.

Lily: Yeah?

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Daniel: But let’s just say that’s when things can get dicey.

Lily: What does that mean?

Daniel: Well, there’s a fine line between night owl and early bird.

Lily: Okay, this sounds interesting.

[ Laughs ]

Daniel: It can be exhausting, right? You know, can lead to poor decision making. Let’s, uh — let’s call them unique projects and outcomes. I mean, you know, like taking suggestions from an audience at an improv show. What five things does every human being need to survive? And how can I manufacture these things on a moving train that will not stop?

Lily: Oh, my god, you’ve got to be kidding.

Daniel: I don’t know. 4:00 A.M., My thoughts — they should all be thrown into the fire.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Daniel: And I’ve got these grand visions for my future, you know? Big, huge, huge dreams. Sometimes I just can’t stop working on them, even if I’m running on fumes.

Lily: Okay. Tell me your craziest 4:00 A.M. Idea. Let me hear it.

Daniel: No.

Lily: Come on. Give it to me.

Daniel: Come on.

Lily: Come on.

Daniel: Okay. Hmm. Okay.

[ Clears throat ]

[ Fork clatters ]

[ Plate slides ] You know when you’re gonna have a tough day and you could use a little extra motivation? You know, a pep talk. A shot in the arm.

[ Chuckles ]

Lily: Okay.

Daniel: A little excitement, some witnesses.

Lily: Yeah. Yeah. Go on.

Daniel: Mm-hmm. What if there were a service where you could hire your own entourage? I’m talking, like, bollywood dancers cheering you on as you’re running through the street on your way to your wedding proposal or, um, a new orleans second line announcing the birth of your baby. Celebrations and memory makers.

Lily: Right. So, you’re a character in your own musical?

Daniel: Not even remotely cost-effective or practical.

Lily: No, it’s definitely not. But it is very creative and fun.

Daniel: Mm. That was a very diplomatic way of saying totally weird.

Lily: Yeah, it’s weird. But… [ Laughs ]

Billy: You know, it’s typical of you to bring lily into this conversation, but I shouldn’t be surprised. But, yes, now that you mention chelsea, I am spending more time with her because I am her friend and I am concerned. I’m also concerned about connor. Chelsea mentioned that he’s being bullied at school.

Adam: Well, then I hope she also mentioned that we discussed it as a family and we handled it.

Billy: She did, yeah.

Adam: Yeah. Well, then you should know that we do appreciate your help, but moving forward, chelsea has plenty of people in her network that she can rely on.

Billy: Right. So, what are you saying? I, uh — I abandon her just out of the blue, adam?

Adam: No, billy, that’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying that I know what she needs. She’s my ex-wife, and she’s the mother of my son.

Billy: Well, she’s also the biological mother of my son.

Adam: What’s your point?

Billy: My point is, unfortunately, we’re connected. And trust me, I really wish that chelsea could trust you, but, you know, there’s boundaries and limitations when it comes to you.

Adam: Yeah, I’m painfully aware of the mistakes that I’ve made with chelsea. And months ago, when she told me she was struggling, I should have done more, but the point is, I’m here now for whatever she needs. So, as much as I really appreciate your help when she was in the throes of this crisis — and I’ll be eternally grateful for that, billy — i think it’s time for you to take a big step back.

Billy: Well, I’m not gonna do that. I can’t do that.

Audra: I realize you’re with allie. I get it. I do. But can you honestly say that what we had is over? Because when kissed just now, you felt it. I know you did. It’s like no time had passed, and you wanted it as much as i did.

Noah: No, no, that was a mistake.

Audra: It didn’t feel like one.

Noah: I got caught up in the moment. It happened. That’s all it was, okay?

Audra: It was electric.

Noah: Yeah, well, audra, a lack of chemistry was never really our issue, but we had plenty of other problems.

Audra: I mean, things could be different now. The time apart has given us a new perspective.

Noah: No, nothing is gonna change what happened or the reason we broke up. Our relationship was damaging for both of us. Why don’t you get that?

Audra: Can you honestly say that the life you have now is —

Noah: It’s good, okay? I’m happy. I am finally in a good place. And it seems like you’re doing well, too. Audra… there is no future for us. And I need you to accept that.

Audra: Message received.

Noah: [ Sighs ] How white do you think your teeth really are? Hi, my name is tony cooper.

A more human way to healthcare. Why give your family just any eggs

Billy: I will be around for chelsea for as long as she needs, and I think she would resent the hell out of you for trying to dictate who gets to be a part of her support system.

Adam: What is this? You speak for chelsea now, billy?

Billy: No. This is chelsea’s choice. It’s her recovery. And if she chooses to confide in me over you, adam, you are going to have to deal with that.

Adam: I’m not gonna be shut out, okay? As much as I know you’d enjoy that.

Billy: So, what are you gonna do? Are you gonna break into her doctor’s office and steal her files? You gonna bug her apartment again like you did when you returned from the dead to spy on her?

Adam: I mean, that’s fascinating, considering that you and chelsea were together around that time.

Billy: Right, well, i wouldn’t look too far into that. What I would do is look inside yourself and understand what you are capable of. I mean, if we took a poll, no one would really expect any better from you. I mean, your lack of ability to actually connect to anyone on a human level just forces you to resort to fraud and deception. Who in their right mind is really going to trust you?

[ Glass thuds ]

Adam: And you’re the rational human that’s gonna bestow advice to who, billy? To me? Why don’t you call me when you get your degree or when somebody clears you of your delusions of grandeur, okay? So, if you’re looking for someone to insult or judge, why don’t you grab a mirror? ‘Cause I’m not gonna sit here and let myself be insulted by you or anyone else.

Jack: I am done listening to you, phyllis. Now you’re going to listen to me. The only reason you have found employ under the jabot umbrella is because I allowed it. And, boy, have I come to regret giving summer and kyle my okay because you have proven very clearly your only motive for being in this building is to undermine diane.

Phyllis: No, it’s not. No, it’s not, and you know it. I want to work with my daughter. I missed her in milan. You know that.

Jack: Not enough, or you would have backed off from diane when summer asked you to. Let’s face it, you are incapable of giving diane even a moment of kindness or thoughtfulness or understanding or, god forbid, forgiveness.

Phyllis: Oh, my god, you’re kidding me. This is not my fault.

Jack: Yeah, and it wasn’t your fault when you tortured christine all those years ago. It wasn’t your fault when you did everything you could…

Phyllis: You’re bringing back my past?

Jack: …To make sharon’s life a living hell.

Phyllis: You’re bringing back my past?

Jack: And now you are focusing your special brand of vengeance and hatred on diane.

Phyllis: Vengeance and hatred on diane? Are you serious right now?

Jack: I am deadly serious. I have stood by for months now and watched you abuse your position at marchetti for your own twisted purposes. I have stayed silent out of respect for summer and kyle. No more! We’re done with that. You’ve gone too far. A word of warning — marchetti is a subsidiary of jabot. I am jabot! And if I find out you did reach out to stark, if our children or our grandchild or diane are harmed in any way, I will throw you and that stupid smirk out of this building so fast, your head will spin. Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Lily: Thank you.

Daniel: Whew.

Lily: [ Sighs ]

Adam: Daniel romalotti. Wow. It’s been a while. I didn’t know you were back in town.

Daniel: Just got back.

Adam: Interesting, seeing the two of you together.

Lily: Sorry. What’s so interesting about seeing two friends catching up?

Adam: Well, the fact that you’re here and billy is all by his lonesome at the glam club. I mean, I don’t blame you that you need a breather. You know, it’s amazing that a guy can be such a train wreck, yet so self-righteous.

Lily: Do you have anything better to do than to annoy us?

Adam: Lily, it must make you crazy seeing how he and chelsea are so joined at the hip.

Lily: You know what? I think that you’re the one with the problem.

Adam: Oh, or maybe you are relieved you don’t have to put up with his antics and addictions now.

Lily: [ Scoffs ] Okay, you know what? Whatever this game is, I don’t want to play, so good night.

Noah: Hey, billy. How’s it going, man?

Billy: Let’s just say I’ve had better nights.

Noah: I’m sorry to hear that.

Billy: [ Sighs ] It’s alright. You know, I came to your lovely club to unwind a little bit. Instead, I got an overabundance of adam.

Noah: Yeah. Yeah, I caught the tail end of that conversation.

Billy: Well, let me just say that I think your uncle is slipping back into his dark prince ways. And I think it’s best we all keep an eye on him.

Tucker: Come in. Things not working out with noah?

Audra: Doesn’t matter at the moment, does it?

Tucker: No. I wasn’t expecting you. And here I thought my evening was drawing to an end.

Audra: Is that a complaint?

Tucker: Far from it.

Audra: [ Moaning ]

Jack: [ Groans ]

[ Keys clatter ]

Diane: [ Gasps ]

Jack: Hey. It’s just me. It’s just me. I’m sorry.

Diane: It’s okay.

Jack: I didn’t mean to scare you.

Diane: [ Sighs ] It’s alright. The slightest noise has me on edge tonight.

Jack: What are you still doing down here?

Diane: I didn’t think I’d be able to sleep, so I thought I’d wait up for you. So, how did everything go at jabot?

Jack: Everything was fine. You have to know you are safe here. We are going to do everything we can to protect you. You have my word.

Diane: [ Sighs ] You don’t know what it means to me to hear that. Thank you.

Bold & The Beautiful Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Finn: There’s just no way a bear could have done this. It was sliced right off and then these cuts were made to look like a tear. But they’re too clean. They’re– they’re too precise.

Steffy: Only a demented woman like sheila carter will go to such unthinkable lengths.

Finn: Well, she had to make sure the police would stop looking for her. And she did. That’s why detective sanchez brought me all this. Case closed.

Steffy: Except based on what you found out, sheila is not dead at all.

Deacon: Where the hell did you go, sheila? What are you up to now?

Carter: Hey, brooke.

Brooke: Hi.

Carter: Hi. Oh, wow. That’s a great shot of you and ridge.

Brooke: Yeah. It was a beautiful day.

Carter: Listen, about the wedding that didn’t happen, I haven’t spoken to ridge, but when I see him, I–

Brooke: I don’t think you’ll see him any time soon.

Carter: Oh?

Brooke: He left to take some much needed time.

Carter: Of course. For what it’s worth, while I have great respect for taylor, I’m hoping those annulment papers that I had to deliver to you will have been a waste of time.

Bill: What are you doing here?

Katie: Oh, I’m just grabbing some stuff for will.

Bill: He’s home?

Katie: No, I’m sending him a care package, and he’s been wanting these things, so. Are you okay? You don’t seem like yourself. Bill, no.

Carter: So where do things stand with you and ridge?

Brooke: Nothing’s been decided yet. He’s gone away to make some decisions about his life. I told him I needed somebody who was completely committed to me. And I just couldn’t do that back and forth thing with taylor anymore. So, you know, we’ll see how things are when he gets back. But in the meantime, I know that there’s somebody else reevaluating their life. My sister. Donna and I have been talking with katie, and we just get the feeling that your friendship with her has evolved into more than just a friendship. Am I right?

Bill: It’s just whiskey, katie, relax.

Katie: I’m not talking about the drink. You’re wearing your sword necklace again. Why?

Bill: Why? I feel like I need the extra protection.

Katie: Protection from what?

Bill: Do you really care?

Katie: Yes, of course I care.

Bill: Just not enough to take me back.

Katie: Bill.

Bill: Yeah, forget it. I’m just not in a– in a good place, not making the best life decisions.

Katie: Dark place? I’m assuming this has to do with brooke?

Finn: So, we need to go through that evidence very carefully with our theory in mind that sheila wasn’t mauled by a bear.

Steffy: Showing us it was a calculated move on sheila’s part, and that’s how she ended the manhunt.

Finn: Believe me, I would love to be wrong about this. All right, the thought of having to deal with my mother again and the threat that she still poses to our family if she’s alive and out there? I tried to tell myself that that was all behind us, but I– I just–

Steffy: Something was nagging at you. How sheila supposedly died.

Finn: Look, we don’t have any time to waste. For our safety. If what we think is true, sheila is as dangerous now as she ever was. Maybe even more. (Birds chirping)

Katie: Bill, what’s going on with you? You’re– you’re in this dark place, you– you’re wearing your sword necklace, which is a harbinger of things to come, usually bad things.

Bill: I told you, I feel like I need the extra protection from myself.

Katie: I know that this has to do with brooke and I also know what you said to her at her house the other day and it doesn’t matter how I heard. The point is–

Bill: The point is I have been making such bad decisions for so long. Wanting what I shouldn’t want when what I really needed was you. I don’t know how many ways to say it, katie. I don’t know how many times I need to apologize. I have been a colossal ass. My own worst enemy. But I really do need you, especially now. I– I hate feeling this way. I hate what my life has become.

Katie: Do you know what I hate? I hate that my ex-husband, the father of my child, and the man that I gave my whole heart to loves my sister.

Bill: You’re not hearing a word that I’m saying. So you want to give up on me? On our family? For carter walton?

Brooke: Carter, I have tremendous respect for you, but I can’t help but look out for my sister.

Carter: That’s what good sisters do.

Brooke: I know she’s a grown woman and she can take care of herself, but she’s been through a lot. And I’m not just talking about bill.

Carter: Her heart transplant.

Brooke: She never mentions it. She just goes about life like we all do.

Carter: I totally understand, you don’t even have to explain.

Brooke: There is something I do have to explain. The day of ridge and taylor’s wedding, you were at my house overhearing bill and me talking and then katie and bill talking.

Carter: How do you know that?

Brooke: Because katie told me.

Carter: What? How– how did she find out?

Brooke: Because she overheard you and bill talking. But more importantly, she heard you say all these wonderful things about her.

Carter: I meant every word.

Deacon: That’s definitely not mine. I’m not sure if you’re coming back, sheila. I hope you don’t, but you’re definitely not getting traced back here when you get busted.

Steffy: Okay, we know from the convenience store footage that sheila was in the sierra mountains.

Finn: And the abandoned car with the fingerprints that the park ranger found.

Steffy: It was all part of her twisted plan.

Finn: Well, she needed to drop out of sight permanently. Best way to do that is to make people think you’re dead.

Steffy: Okay, what do we have here? Sheila’s I.D., Busted phone from the alleged bear attack.

Finn: Check this out. Sheila’s hair. The roots are still attached, which would indicate that it was pulled out, not cut, which would be in line with an attack.

Steffy: Or she yanked it out herself.

Finn: The whole scene is circumstantial if you think about it. Everything here indicates a bear attack. When you look at every single item individually and know who you’re dealing with? I wish it wasn’t the case, but I feel even more confident now that our theory is correct. Sheila isn’t dead.

Steffy: No. She staged her own death. (Vo) no matter what type of severe asthma you have,…

Brooke: I don’t mean to make you feel self-conscious, I don’T. It’s just– I mean, I’m sure it’s very surprising for you to find out that katie overheard your conversation with bill and some of those things she passed on to donna and me.

Carter: No, I’m not– I’m not self-conscious. I know how close katie is to her sisters.

Brooke: Okay, well, the logans look out for each other. At least we try to.

Carter: Katie is a remarkable, intelligent, beautiful woman. She deserves a lot better than bill spencer.

Bill: Do you have any idea what it does to me every time you push me away? I have practically gotten on my knees and begged you for another chance. And when you reject–

Katie: I’m not rejecting you. I’m just trying to tell you that what you say you want can’t happen for reasons that you know.

Bill: I’ll tell you what I know. What I know is that everyone in my life has abandoned me. Even justin, a so-called best friend, turned his back on me. Don’t turn your back on me, katie. We can start over. I promise you, I promise you that I will make you the center of my world. You will never have any reason to feel anything but my commitment and my devotion. It will be you. You and only you. I swear that’s how it will be. Just give me one chance to prove it.

Deacon: She had so much crap here. Ugh. Okay, it’s called self preservation. Sheila, I mean, you know, that’s something you know all about, right? Just gotta cut all ties with her before anyone realizes she didn’t kick the damn bucket.

Steffy: My god, finn, when I think what this means.

Finn: Look, I wish I was wrong, but it all adds up. The question now is where is she? Is she in L.A? Did she go on the run, did she sneak across the border?

Steffy: If it weren’t for you and hayes, I think she’d be long gone. But we know how obsessed she is with her son and her grandson. I think she’s crazy enough to stay here in L.A.

Finn: Well, if she is, where would she be?

Steffy: I don’t know. But there’s someone, I think, who can give us answers. With metro…

Brooke: I’ve worked hard to try to keep katie and bill’s family together. But you know what? After some of the things that bill has said to me, I think it’s better that katie actually moves on with somebody that I admire and respect. Well, you did have your little slip up with quinn. But I know you’re a man of integrity.

Carter: I appreciate that. But to be honest, I don’t know where katie and I stand. We haven’t really even started yet.

Brooke: I have a good feeling about you two.

Carter: That’s kind, but I’m not naive. I know bill’s a man who doesn’t like to lose, and he’s trying to get in katie’s head, convince her to come back to him.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Bill: Whatever it takes for you to trust me again, tell me and I’ll do it. Whatever it takes for you to come back to me.

Katie: Bill, we will always be a family and I will always care about you. But anything more than that, it’s just– what you’re asking is not possible. I’m moving on.

Bill: With carter?

Katie: Oh. I– I don’t know. I– I don’t know. I– all I do know is that he is kind, and he’s sincere, and he’s honest, and when I– when I look in his eyes, I can see that he’s telling the truth.

Bill: Truth. The truth is that I have done everything I can to reach you. And yet you won’t let me back in. And that frustrates me. And more than that, it hurts me. But it also makes me angry. Angry at myself for losing you. Angry at the situation we find ourselves in, where you’re wanting to move on. But just know this. I will not give up. I will not lose you to carter walton or anyone else. I do not lose. I need you. I need you now, my katie. Like never before.

[ Knock on door ]

Deacon: Seriously? Come on. Just a second. Be right there. Steffy.

Steffy: Hi.

Deacon: Finn. Uh.

Finn: Hey.

Deacon: Hey. Hey, guys, I’m sorry, I’ve gotta be at work in a few minutes.

Steffy: No problem. It’ll only take a minute.

Deacon: Okay, uh, what’s this about?

Steffy: Well, first of all, we want to thank you. We owe you a huge debt of gratitude.

Finn: Yeah, if it weren’t for you that awful night in the alley–

Deacon: No, no–

Finn: If you hadn’t found us–

Deacon: Please, guys, look, I’m just happy you’re both fine.

Steffy: Yeah. We’re still trying to put everything that happened behind us.

Deacon: Yeah, I know what you mean. I– I’m trying to forget it myself.

Steffy: But we can’t forget. Not anymore.

Deacon: Not anymore. What do you– what do you mean?

Steffy: This is gonna sound crazy, but we discovered some really unsettling things and we believe… no, we know. We know sheila’s alive. She faked her own death. She wasn’t mauled by a bear. Sheila is alive. Sheila carter is alive.

Adam: [ Clears throat ]

[ Sighs ]

Sally: We almost made it. We loved each other with all we had. But… it’s time for us to move on. Away having learned something so that next time we don’t make the same mistakes. Next time… …you and some very lucky woman will make it. We have to let each other go so we can find our true happiness.

Chance: Adam? Hi. Yeah, I’ll do another round. And same for him. Thank you. Looks like you had a rough night.

Adam: Hmm.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Nick: I guess it’s no mystery what happened here with you and adam.

Sally: I — I’m really sorry that you had to see this.

Nick: Me too. Uh… well, I guess I finally have an answer to the question you’ve been evading — how you really feel about adam’s proposal. I’m gonna go. I’ll see you.

Sally: Nick, wait.

[ Sighs ] Look, I — I swear that I was gonna tell you about this, maybe not so bluntly, but you deserve to know what happened.

[ Sighs ] You need to have all the information before you decide to walk away. Un?

Chelsea: So, how’s the sleepover going? Are you having fun? Aww, connor, I’m so glad. Don’t eat too much junk food, okay? Alright. I love you. I’ll see you later.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Cellphone thuds ]

Billy: Who’s ready for movie night?

Lily: Thank you.

Daniel: Lily.

Lily: Hey.

Daniel: You, uh, meeting someone here?

Lily: Uh, no, no. I just ordered some take-out. I have a hot date with a pile of work on my desk.

Daniel: Ah. Yes, I, too, was about to order some takeout. Go do some more work on my gaming platform idea.

Lily: Yes.

Daniel: I haven’t quite figured out all the logistics, but, um…

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Daniel: You know what? Actually, I just got done reading this study, and it said that people are way more productive when they take short breaks. What do you say? How about you and I both take a breather and we have dinner together instead?

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ]

Jack: Hey. Everything’s gonna be alright.

Diane: Oh, thank you.

[ Sighs heavily ]

[ Cellphone pings ]

Diane: Oh.

Jack: Want to get that?

Diane: Oh, no.

Jack: What’s wrong?

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ] Jeremy just texted me.

Billy: Brought the perfect goodies — classic snacks for a classic comedy, guaranteed to make you laugh.

Chelsea: Does it look like i need cheering up?

Billy: Well, I mean, everybody could use a — use a laugh, right? I mean, I could use one right about now. I mean, we could go superhero. We could watch some costumed people blow a bunch of things up. Or we could go sci-fi. I mean, with me, older, the better. “Santa claus conquers the martians” right there for me. So many choices, so little time. What do you say? Your pick.

Chelsea: Um, uh, it doesn’t matter. Whatever you think.

Billy: Yeah, maybe I, uh — maybe I should have called first, huh? Are you upset that I showed up unannounced?

Chelsea: No. No, no. I’m really — I’m happy you’re here. I am.

Billy: I’m not buying that. Feels like there’s something else going on. I mean, I mentioned “santa claus conquers the martians,” and i didn’t get nothing out of you. Straight crickets. So, what is it? What’s going on?

Adam: It’s been a while since we’ve been on, uh, drinking-buddy terms.

Chance: Yeah, well, nothing wrong with sharing a nightcap or two.

Adam: Yeah, I’m actually glad we got the opportunity to chat ’cause I owe you an apology. I’m sorry that I was, uh, rough on you with the, uh, locke investigation.

Chance: Case closed, right?

Adam: It is in my book.

Chance: [ Sighs ] So, what’s your deal?

Adam: Um… well, I just had to face the fact that I lost sally for good.

Sally: After adam blurted out that proposal to me in public and after he gave me all those desperate speeches about how he still loved me, I had a lot of feelings. I was angry that he felt that i didn’t deserve more than some drunken attempt at some grand gesture, fury with myself for falling for him in the first place, despite all of the warnings, and confused because my feelings for you are very real, as well. And I need you to believe me when I tell you that none of that was a lie. But there was also doubt because the truth of the matter is…

[Voice breaking] I was in love with adam. But I have been very honest with you about that from the beginning.

Nick: Yeah. You have.

Sally: And adam’s proposal, as inappropriate as it was — it got to me in a way. Earlier today, he apologized to me for all of it, for the abrupt way that he dumped me and — and for how he’s been behaving ever since. But he stood by his proposal. He was certain that we were meant to be together. And I couldn’t help but wonder if maybe he was right. You know, if maybe we were just on some crazy journey to being together forever. And I was — I don’t know — just scared to admit it or believe it.

Nick: Yeah, I asked you that a few times myself.

Sally: I know. But I-I… I just realized I-I had to know for sure.

[ Upbeat music ]

Sally: I can’t put the blame on adam for what happened here. This was on both of us. I just wanted to know if there was anything left between us. We wondered if — if we still had that original spark that drew us together, and we needed to know if there was anything left for us to salvage. But I am certain now. There’s nothing left. And what you walked in on was the aftermath of that realization. The end. It’s over. And adam realized it, too.

Nick: You’re sure about that?

Sally: I’m positive. I think it was a little bit harder for him to let go. You know, he was still holding on to the fact that there was a possibility of saving us, but… there isn’T. What we once had, we’ve — we’ve lost. I’m sorry, but I’m not gonna apologize for what happened because I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. Adam and I can now finally

[Sighs] And fully move on.

Chelsea: I’ve just been dealing with an issue with connor.

Billy: Okay. What happened?

Chelsea: Um, this kid at school overheard connor and johnny talking about me, and he started taunting connor, calling me crazy.

Billy: I’m sorry. Johnny didn’t mention that to me.

Chelsea: No, I don’t think johnny was there. I think it happened later in the day. This kid cornered connor. Needless to say, they got in a fight. Connor came home very upset.

Billy: Yeah, of course he did. I don’t blame him.

[ Sighs ] Do you want me to call the school for you?

Chelsea: No. No. You’re starting to sound like adam.

Billy: Oh, my gosh. Don’t insult me like that, okay? I’m just trying to help you.

Chelsea: Well, after —

[ Laughs ] After connor told adam what happened, adam freaked out, and he basically said he wanted to call the school and get the kid expelled or change connor’s school entirely.

Billy: Okay. For once, I actually agree with adam. Just promise me you’re never gonna tell anyone I said that.

Chelsea: No one would believe me. I was able to talk adam down. And as much as it upsets me that this kid was so mean to connor, the truth is, he’s gonna have to deal with the fact that there are difficult people in life.

[ Sighs ] I just hate the fact that he’s getting bullied because of me.

Billy: You know, chelsea —

Chelsea: I know. I know. I can’t blame myself.

Billy: Good. Well, I got to ask — why didn’t you mention it to me? I mean, it involves johnny. It just kind of makes me think that there’s something else going on.

Chelsea: What do you mean?

Billy: Well, it feels like you’ve been avoiding me — my text messages, my calls — ever since thanksgiving. And your therapist stresses that honesty is the way to go. And I’m honestly asking you. And it just feels like you’re doing your best to avoid me.

Lily: So, how’s your dad?

Daniel: Oh, danny? Danny is, you know, out there performing and touring, doing what he loves all over the world.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Daniel: Sometimes I think that man has more energy than i do.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Well, that’s great. And, uh, lucy — how is she? I mean, I know that she’s in portugal, but, I mean, what is she like now?

Daniel: Lucy is amazing. Yeah. You know, she’s at that age where she’s starting to give me a hard time about everything. You know, the things I say, the clothes I wear.

Lily: Yeah.

Daniel: My driving. Yeah, no, she doesn’t like that. Or my — my dad jokes.

Lily: Oh, she sounds very, very smart.

[ Both laugh ]

Daniel: She’s brilliant. She is. You know, despite all her scathing critiques, she — she still never stops wanting to just go get ice cream and sit down by the riverfront, just to sit there and talk. It’s actually some of those talks that started me on this new career path and led me to this gaming platform idea.

Lily: Wow. Sounds like you two have a very special relationship.

Daniel: What about the twins? What are they up to?

Lily: Mm. They’re good. They, um — what are they doing? I mean, mattie’s a senior at stanford.

Daniel: No.

Lily: Charlie’s studying film at nyu.

Daniel: Seniors?

Lily: Mm-hmm.

Daniel: Really?

Lily: I know. I can’t believe it, either.

[ Laughs ] Yeah. But they’re good. And how is, um — how’s heather? How are things with her?

Diane: This text brings back all the memories of what he put me through, the — the threats and the manipulations and the vicious intimidation. I mean, one minute he’s at your house, and the next he’s sending some not-so-subtle, threatening texts about your family.

Jack: Stark is definitely a bully, but he has no proof that you informed on him.

Diane: It doesn’t matter. He will seek his own justice if he even thinks it might be true.

Jack: I told you I will not let any harm come to you. Look, I will hire whatever security I have to, to protect this house, this family, and you.

Diane: Don’t you get it? This man will not be deterred. And now that he’s found me, I’ve got to figure out a way to deal with him.

Jack: Listen to me. You are not alone.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Jack: I’m here to help you. Now, tell me what you think he wants.

Diane: I know exactly what he wants. Payback. Listen, I’m done settling.

Jack: Wait. He wants payback? For what, exactly?

Diane: I had some of jeremy’s money ready for transport when he got arrested.

Jack: And?

Diane: [ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone thuds ] I kept it.

Jack: Wait, the feds didn’t confiscate it?

Diane: Well, they weren’t aware that it existed. I mean, the charges were based on cash that had already moved offshore.

Jack: And you didn’t tell them?

Diane: [ Sighs ] Well, I-I-I didn’t want to invite any more scrutiny.

Jack: You were afraid that they would figure out that you were living in L.A. Under a fake identity.

Diane: Well, I’m — I’m not sure that they would have even charged me with anything, but i just — I didn’t want to take that risk.

Jack: I see.

Diane: Okay, maybe you think that was cowardly, but it wasn’t just my fear of being arrested. I just wasn’t ready for anyone in genoa city to know that I was alive.

Jack: None of that matters. What is important is you have something that jeremy stark wants. So, if handing him back the money is the only way to get rid of him, then maybe that’s the prudent course of action to take. Just hand it back to him.

Diane: I can’t do that.

Jack: Why not?

Diane: The money’s gone.

Daniel: Actually, I’d rather not talk about heather right now.

Lily: Yeah. Okay.

Daniel: I would, um, prefer to discuss how my dream might actually be on the road to becoming a reality. I got to tell you, I’ve taken umpteen classes in gaming design. I’ve gone to so many conferences trying to learn the field. Now I’m doing a deep dive into strategy. I mean, if you and devon — if you green-light this platform, I’m gonna be ready.

Lily: Wow. You’re very passionate about this.

Daniel: You bet I am. What do you think? Should we make our game specific to certain platforms, or should we make versions for all the platforms?

Lily: Someone’s done a deep dive.

[ Laughs ]

Daniel: I just want to make sure I have every aspect of this figured out before moving forward. You know, there are millions, if not billions, to be made if this thing is done right.

Lily: You know, I really love how enthusiastic you are about this. It makes me feel very confident that you’re the person leading this division.

Daniel: [ Laughs ] Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. The first thing we have to do is we have to make sure that this game is as good as it possibly can be. I mean, I want to make sure that every little detail of this world that I want to create is just right.

Lily: I don’t remember you being a perfectionist.

Daniel: Well, I haven’t always been this way.

[ Chuckles ] I don’t know. Maybe I just grew into it. You know? I mean, the way I see it, some things are worth being done perfectly, or don’t do them at all, right? And lucy deserves this to be perfect.

Lily: This means a lot to you, doesn’t it?

Daniel: It’s not just about the game or even the gaming division. This is about bettering myself, making a better life for myself and setting myself up for success. So, yeah, it means everything.

Chelsea: I haven’t been avoiding you, exactly. I-I think I’ve just been leaning on you too much, you know? Right now I need to be focused on my network of support — my therapist, adam, chloe, sharon. It’s not fair for me to expect you to always be there for me when I need someone to turn to.

Billy: Where is this coming from? I mean, what’s got you thinking that way? Is this something your therapist suggested or…?

Chelsea: Well, when I spoke with lily, she reminded me that I can’t possibly expect you to be there for me 24/7. And she’s right. I mean, she’s right, you know? You’ve got kids and a relationship and a life. The last thing I want is to ever become a burden to you.

Chance: Sorry to hear about you and sally, man.

Adam: Mm.

Chance: Oddly enough, I get it.

Adam: I don’t know how you can get it, chance. I mean, you’re lucky enough. You have the, uh, perfect marriage.

Chance: Trust me, man, my marriage is far from perfect. Abby and I are getting a divorce.

Adam: What? Come on. The two of you are splitting up?

Chance: Yeah.

Adam: What went wrong?

Chance: [ Sighs ] Everything. I don’t know. You know, trying to balance work and family, philosophical differences, spent too much time apart, you name it.

Adam: Sounds rough. But I’m not really buying that, chance.

Chance: Why would I lie about something like that?

Adam: Well, I don’t think you’re lying, exactly, but i just don’t think you’re telling me the whole story. You would do everything in your power to fix the problems in your relationship, and now you’re just jumping to divorce? It’s got to be more than just work-life-balance stuff. Something really bad must have went down.

Chance: Yeah. Yeah, you’re right. Something bad did go down. I tell you, man, it is driving me absolutely crazy. Feel like I have to confide in someone.

Adam: I’m listening.

Chance: Abby slept with someone else.

Adam: [ Scoffs ] Ieve so keep

Adam: Abby cheated on you

Adam: Abby cheated on you?

Chance: Yep. Look, I’m not trying to make her look bad or blame all our problems that we had on her. That’s why I haven’t told anybody. So keep your mouth shut.

Adam: Is this an ongoing affair?

Chance: No, she said it only happened once. You know, I actually believe her, too.

Adam: Well, maybe you could work things out then.

Chance: No. No, the sex just forced us to realize things were done. It was like an accelerator, a wake-up call. There’s no point in dragging this thing out any longer.

Adam: Yeah, I-I know exactly what you mean.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Nick. Please say something. What… what are — what are you feeling?

Nick: Obviously it’s, uh… not easy seeing adam leave your room knowing what happened in here. But I’m not gonna act all territorial with you, sally. You don’t owe me anything. Still, it’s, uh…

Sally: Look, I’m really sorry that you had to find out this way.

Nick: Don’t be sorry on my behalf. Like you said, it needed to happen, and I hope [Sighs] You got some closure.

Sally: I did.

Nick: Well, with closure comes grieving, and with grieving comes unresolved feelings and regrets. I think talk of moving on is a bit premature.

Sally: Look, I admit to the grief, okay? But I suspect that all of those feelings will fade away sooner rather than later — ’cause i finally feel like it’s over. And I know I made the right decision.

Nick: I doubt it’s gonna be that easy for my brother.

Sally: Look, I’m not worried about adam, okay? He’ll be just fine. What I want to focus on right now is you. I’ve said my piece. Now it’s your turn.

Daniel: So, tell me. How are things really going for you? Are you happy? Are you fulfilled?

Lily: [ Laughs ] Um…yeah, I am. I’m loving my life right now. I mean, this is the best job I’ve ever had. And of course, you know, there’s challenges, obviously.

Daniel: Well, you’re running a big corporation. Of course there’s gonna be challenges.

[ Both laugh ]

Lily: Yeah. I mean, I was really nervous at first to take on such a huge role, but then jill just — you know, she really supported me. And she and billy — they’ve boosted my confidence and convinced me that I could do it.

Daniel: Clearly, they were right.

Lily: Mm-hmm. And, yeah, the chancellor-winters merger was my idea.

Daniel: Really?

Lily: Yes. [ Laughs ] And devon, you know, took some convincing, but he was on board, and — I don’t know. I feel stronger than ever as the head of this company.

Daniel: Well, what about personally? How you doing in that department?

Lily: I mean, good. Um, you know, billy — he keeps things interesting.

[ Chuckles ]

Daniel: Mm. That is an interesting word choice.

[ Chuckles ]

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Daniel: Look, I got to be honest with you. When I first heard that you and billy were together, I found it hard to imagine how the two of you could make it long term as a couple. And now, you know, I’ve seen the two of you together… I’m sorry. It still just doesn’t make sense to me.

Billy: Okay, first things first — you gotta stop thinking that way, okay? You are in no way a burden to me. And, honestly, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else right now.

Chelsea: What about your family and lily?

Billy: Everybody’s good. Johnny’s on a ski trip. Victoria and katie have a little girls night out, and lily’s working late, so, you know, you’re actually saving me from a night alone. So, can’t we just sit down, have some snacks, and watch a movie?

Jack: What do you mean, the money’s gone? What happened to it?

Diane: I spent it.

Jack: I see.

Diane: Look, jeremy owed me that money after everything i had done for him, okay? And I-I couldn’t very well return it while he was on trial or in prison, could I? Especially since I was working with the authorities.

Jack: What did you buy with it?

Diane: I used it to rebuild my life. I mean, I-I bought my own place and I-I paid for the therapy that I desperately needed and I-I took the required courses to get my real-estate license.

Jack: Well, it sounds like you put it to good use.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Truth is, I was just so relieved to be out from under his thumb. I mean, finally, I could start my life again without — without fear or threats, and I — I felt safe while he was in prison. I mean, that — that money allowed me to do the hard work of — of putting myself back together. You know, I was determined to never have to depend on anyone ever again and to not have to compromise myself. Jack, that money bought me peace of mind that — that, for one moment, nobody could hurt me. And I-I felt free. Well, that is, until, you know, tucker mccall came poking around.

Jack: And you found yourself underneath someone else’s thumb.

Diane: Yeah. I mean, even though tucker helped me get back to genoa city and to you and to kyle, i just — [ Sighs ] I feel like I’ve been trying to escape from my past mistakes all over again ever since. And now that jeremy’s out of prison and came here, I just feel like the whole thing’s about to blow up.

Jack: Okay, okay. It seems like there’s one simple answer to getting stark out of your life. Let me help you repay the money.

Diane: No. No. Absolutely not. Ew. Gotta get rid of this. I think the big

[ Exhales heavily ]

Nick: I mean…

[ Exhales heavily ] I-I don’t know what else to say. Believe me, under this calm exterior, there’s raging jealousy. I think it’s gonna take more time than you think to, uh, get past this. I think the big question is, what does it mean for us? I don’t mean to put you on the spot.

Sally: No, you’re not at all. And I can answer that right now. I want us to date. You know, with my new sense of freedom, I’m ready to get to know you more fully now that i don’t have to worry what adam thinks every time he sees us out there together. That’s where I stand. The rest is up to you.

Billy: [ Laughs ] Come on. That’s ridiculous. Wow, hey, hey, what — what are you — what are you doing? What are you doing? Why are you shutting that off? It’s not over yet. You don’t — you don’t want to watch the end? That’s the best part.

Chelsea: Nope, not when you’re so busy heckling the screen, I don’T.

Billy: The movie is literally made to be heckled. I mean, do you want me to be quiet so you can hear what the martians have to say? I did not know that you actually spoke martian.

Chelsea: [ Laughs ] Ahh, you were right. I did need cheering up. Thanks for showing up uninvited.

Billy: Well, I didn’t show up because I’m an angel. I’m here because I needed this, too.

Lily: Uh, billy and I make a lot of sense together. Just ’cause we’re different doesn’t mean that we don’t work. I mean, no relationship is perfect. There’s always things to work on and work through.

Daniel: Mm. I mean, I know that better than anyone. A lot of people had doubts about the two of us when we were dating.

Lily: Yeah, exactly, right? That didn’t stop us.

Daniel: No. No, it did not.

[ Chuckles ] Sure went through a lot together, didn’t we, ibejuliet?

Lily: [ Laughing ] Oh, my god. I forgot about that.

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Lily: [ Laughs ] Wow. Look at us now. Stronger than ever, right?

Daniel: You know what? I’ll drink to that.

Lily: Cheers.

[ Glasses clink ]

[ Chuckles ]

Jack: If paying stark off is the one way to get him out of your life, why not accept my offer? Why turn me down?

Diane: [ Sighs ] Jack, your generosity is greatly appreciated, but I refuse to take any money from you. The whole point of my self-transformation was so that I would no longer have to rely on wealthy men. I am finally independent, and i plan to stay that way. So I will not allow you to buy me out of this mess.

Jack: Then consider it a loan.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Even if I was to pay jeremy back every dollar I owed him, it wouldn’t make a difference. If phyllis, nikki, and ashley have gotten the idea into his head that I ratted him out to the fbi, he’s going to want to punish me for it.

Jack: Let me ask you a question. I know you want to right your wrongs to make up for all the mistakes you made, but might it have been better if you had accepted the feds’ offer to enter witness protection when you had a chance?

Diane: No, there was — there was no way I was going to do that. Jack, if I had entered witness protection, I would have never been able to find my way back to my son. I mean, that door would have been closed forever. And getting back to kyle was my only goal, my — my only purpose in life.

[ Sighs ] But now — you know what? — I am at the end of my rope. I mean, what am I supposed to do? I’ve got to figure out a way to protect myself from this dangerous criminal.

Jack: Okay, listen to me. I know you want to be independent. I know you want to help yourself. But it’s also clear you put yourself at great personal risk coming back here to us. So, you need to know this. Kyle and I will not let that man do anything to you. You have to believe me on this. You are safe. You are safe here now.

Diane: Thank you. I can’t tell you how grateful I am for your support.

Chance: What’d you mean by that, man? Did you or sally cheat?

Adam: Uh, no, no, not, um — not exactly. Sally and I tried one last time to reconnect. We tried to re-ignite what drew us together in the first place, but it was too late, you know? Too much has happened, and everything was just different.

Chance: Hey, you never know. You could find your way back to each other. Sometimes these things work out.

Adam: I don’t know. If you, the white knight, can’t make it work, I don’t know, uh, how much hope there is for me.

Sally: Maybe you should think things over. Take as long as you need to decide if you want to see me, too.

Nick: Yeah, I think that’s a good idea. We both need to think about things. It’s a lot to process.

Sally: I guess this is good night, then.

Nick: Night.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Thank you, jack, for being here, for your — for your protection and your generous offer of support, for — for everything. But I think I should go.

Jack: Oh, wait. I… I think it might be safer if you stayed in one of the guest rooms tonight.

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ] I don’t know how much safer i would be since ashley lives here, too, and I doubt your sister would be very happy to find me here in the morning.

Jack: You take that off your mind. I will handle ashley and anyone else. This is my home. And I want you here.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: You asked detective sanchez to bring the evidence from sheila’s bear attack because you think she’s still alive?

Finn: But it never felt right. It’s too easy. Sheila commits these heinous crimes, escapes and goes off into the woods and gets mauled by a bear? Case closed? No, steffy. I think she faked her own death and this toe could prove it.

Sheila: So, let’s just face it, little piggy, as much as I miss you, I’d sacrifice anything to be close to my son. Anything.

[ Door closing ]

Hope: How can you show your face around here after what you did? You really are shameless, aren’t you?

Hope: Are you going to say anything?

Thomas: Are you willing to listen?

Hope: You’re lucky I am even speaking to you. I believed in you, thomas. Our son believed in you.

Thomas: Just let me explain.

Sheila: Hey. Some fresh air to clear your mind. Chase all those demons out of your head.

Deacon: That depends. What’s this look on your face here?

Sheila: It’s a smile.

Deacon: Yeah, for most people. But with you, it’s a big flashing warning sign. What’s going on?

Sheila: I’m counting my lucky stars. You know, check that, because I know you’d like this one better. I’m counting my lucky toes. All nine of them.

Steffy: Did you tell the police you think sheila’s still alive?

Finn: No, not till I can confirm it. I want to check my theory.

Steffy: Babe, what she did to us was horrible. And I know it feels as though we didn’t get any justice, but, the authorities already looked into this and the evidence points to a bear attack. I mean, they found her id, bloody hair, bloody clothes, the toe.

Finn: And that’s all. If she was attacked by a wild animal, don’t you think that they would have found a little bit more than a toe? Her middle toe? See to me, this looks too clean. I want to take another look at it. But this does not look to be the result of an animal attack.

Steffy: You really think sheila carter cut off her own toe?

Finn: You always told me she was capable of anything. She knew that we would never stop looking for. Faking her own death was the only way out. Christmas trees try so hard.

Hope: Why should I listen to anything you have to say? All you’ve done is lie.

Thomas: Hope, my family was finally coming together. Something I’ve always wanted, my parents were getting so close.

Hope: So if only there was some way to get rid of my mother and to turn ridge against her once and for all.

Thomas: How many times has he left her? How many years would this go on over and over again? All the while, my whole family and my mother suffering.

Hope: Your family is suffering now. Did you even take into account how difficult that must have been for steffy to stand up to you for your own son? And I know stepfy wanted your parents back together just as much as you did. She wasn’t going to trick ridge into marrying taylor.

Thomas: My dad wanted to marry my mother because he loves her. There was no trick. Okay, so that’s not fair.

Hope: Fair? Fair. I’ll tell you what’s not fair. You sabotaging my mother’s marriage. You using our son.

Thomas: I never wanted douglas involved in any of this. And, you know, with my dad and your mother not being together, it means that deacon actually–

Hope: Oh, stop. Would you stop trying to spin this?

Thomas: I was trying to do something good, hope, and I realized nothing good came from it. My family won’t speak to me, my sister, my father, my mother, my grandfather. Nobody. But I can handle all of that. If I could just get you to listen to me. You don’t have to forgive me. You don’t have to fully understand why I did it. But at least listen to me. Because we’ve gotten so close, hope, you and I. We’ve been working together, raising douglas. And I saw this future right in front of me, of a whole family. A mother and father together, yeah, but also me with my son in the home. And you were a part of that picture, too. And now it’s all falling apart. But what I don’t want to fall apart is our connection or my relationship with my son.

Deacon: Look, I– I care about you. I do. I gave you a place to hole up. But you got to face facts.

Sheila: You need to stop looking for catastrophes everywhere.

Deacon: That’s the only way this ends with lights and sirens and cops busting through that door.

Sheila: The landlord’s not going to like that one.

[ Sighs ]

Deacon: Look, there’s another alternative here. You can turn yourself in. Hear me out. Look, you didn’t kill anyone. It’s attempted murder. You wouldn’t be in prison–

Sheila: Absolutely not.

Deacon. You’re going to get caught. You’re going to take me down with you.

Sheila: Okay, so that’s what this is really about. You. You don’t care what happens to me, no. You’re just looking out for yourself.

Deacon: You’re damn right I am. I should have been from the beginning. You’re just lucky I– that I’m a sucker for a good sob story.

Sheila: Mm. Did I not show you? I love gratitude.

Deacon: Oh, damn it, sheila. Come on. You’re smarter than this. I know you are.

Sheila: I’m not giving up. I didn’t cut off my toe and go through that excruciating pain just so I could limp around the rest of my days in a prison cell.

Steffy: It doesn’t bother you?

Finn: No. I’ve seen worse in the E.R.

Steffy: No, I mean, it’s– it’s your birth mothers toe.

Finn: She shot me, steffy. She shot you, too. She held me hostage and let my family think I’m dead. If she’s out there, I need to know. But look, if– if this is too much for you, I can just…

Steffy: No, we do– we need to know. So what are you thinking? Is your hunch right? Finn.

Finn: I’m positive. There was no attack. She did this to herself.

Steffy: Sheila’s alive. I’m sholeh and I lost 75 pounds with golo.

Hope: You want me to understand what you did? How you could be so heartless?

Thomas: That’s what I’m trying to tell you. It wasn’t heartless, it wasn’t malicious. I was trying to protect my mother from all the pain she’s been through.

Hope: Do you ever wonder what this plan might do to our son? That call to cps might have been fake, but the visit wasn’T. Douglas was questioned. He could have been taken away.

Thomas: No. Douglas was perfectly safe, and they never would have found anything.

Hope: That is not the point, thomas. The call should have never been made in the first place. You should have never asked your son to lie again when he found out the truth. And he understands that. Why don’t you? Now he doesn’t even want to see you anymore.

Thomas: No, I don’t believe that.

Hope: Yeah, it’s true. And that is your doing. All he wanted was a relationship with you, thomas. He loves you, and you are the one destroying that.

Thomas: I did everything I could to keep douglas out of this. I never wanted him involved. And, you know, if donna hadn’t told him that he can–

Hope: Stop, stop, stop! Thomas, this is on you. You were the one who put him in the middle of this. Sometimes I don’t even understand how he could be related to you because he is nothing like you. He is brave, he is compassionate, and he is not afraid to tell the truth. Unlike you, whose first instinct is to always lie, no matter what the consequences, no matter who gets hurt. No matter what destruction.

[ Sighs ] I can’t believe I ever trusted you again.

Sheila: Finn and hayes, they gave me the courage to do what I did. Do you know, the excruciating agony that I went through. I cut my own toe off, deacon, to stay out of prison. I am not turning myself in.

Deacon: You don’t get it, do you? You are putting us both in jeopardy. Sheila, this is the end of the line. There’s no way out.

Sheila: There is–

Deacon: No, there is not a way out! There’s not. Not this time. Look, I’m sorry. If you don’t turn yourself in, I’m going to do it.

Sheila: You would not do that to me.

Deacon: This has to end. It’s time.

Finn: So you agree, the photo I sent you? Yeah, that’s what I see, too. Thank you, jim. Yeah. Sheila didn’t lose that toe from a bear attack.

Steffy: Are you sure?

Finn: Come see for yourself. An animal attack would cause more tissue damage. That kind of injury would result from ripping and tearing. Take a look at the base of the toe. See the straight cuts? There’s no teeth marks. There’s no other signs of trauma. She amputated the toe and she tried to make it look like a bear attack.

Steffy: Oh, my god. Oh, my god, you’re right. Sheila did this so she could get away.

Finn: Bloody clothing and a staged campsite weren’t enough. She needed to give the police and our family some tangible evidence, proof that she was dead. But this. This. This only proves how truly diabolical she is.

Steffy: Oh, finn. Smooth dark chocolate, refreshing peppermint,

Thomas: I didn’t– I didn’t manipulate you, hope. Our connection is real.

Hope: And if it is, you used it against me to make me believe that you had changed. I put my faith in you.

Thomas: You gave me a chance to prove myself. And I did.

Hope: And you threw it away. I mean… we were a team. At work, as parents. I defended you to my mother, to liam. But they were right about you all along.

Thomas: No, they wouldn’t give me the benefit of the doubt. And you did.

Hope: I wish I hadn’T.

Thomas: Please don’t give up on me.

Hope: How can you even ask that of me after everything you’ve done? You know, I can’t believe it fell for it. But, you were– you were real convincing. You were real sincere and earnest. You know, maybe I… could have stopped my mom’s heartbreak. Or my son’s disappointment. If I had just trusted myself. Like when you took douglas to stay at eric’s, right? He was happy. He was having a good time, so I went along with it. Because I cared about my son’s happiness. And so, I spent time there. And more and more, our lives became intertwined. And I let my guard down. I did. And then you try to kiss me.

Thomas: That kiss wasn’t calculated. You crossed a line.

Thomas: Look, I thought that we– we weren’t going to talk about that again.

Hope: Ah ha! That’s until I found out all the other horrible things you’ve been up to.

Thomas: Me trying to kiss you wasn’t a horrible thing. It just happened. And excitement in the moment and out of love. And like I’ve told you before. Unlike other men. I can only love one woman. And I love you.

Hope: And I… love… liam. Never you. Especially after this betrayal. You know, I thought I knew you. I thought we were friends. And yeah, sure… yeah. You’re a talented designer, but I can’t even fathom working with you now.

Thomas: Please, don’t say that, you don’t mean that.

Hope: I do. I used to see this man who was trying so hard to grow and to better himself and to be worthy of his son’s love. But now? All I see… is a sad, pathetic man who kept me from beth. Who didn’t care about his son’s safety. So he called cps on himself. And for what?

Thomas: Hope, wait, you did–

[Door slamming] You didn’t give me a chance to explain.

Sheila: You should know better than to threaten me.

Deacon: I’m not threatening you, I’m trying to reason with you. Where the hell do you think you’re going anyway? That stupid disguise isn’t going to save you. Your time is up.

Sheila: Never!

Deacon: Crazy!

Steffy: What are we going to do? What– what are we going to do?

Finn: We have to tell the police.

Steffy: If sheila is still alive she’s had months to cover her tracks.

Finn: I know. I know.

Steffy: We thought she was gone for good. We thought she could never hurt us again.

Finn: She won’T. Okay? I won’t let that happen.

Steffy: Finn, she played us.

Finn: No. She tried. Hey, but we’re on to her now. She thinks that she’s gotten away with this. That gives us the upper hand, right?

Steffy: No.

Finn: Yes. Sheila staged her own death. Sheila’s alive. She can still pay for her crimes.

Steffy: This is your birth mother we’re talking about?

Finn: No, we broke that connection when she pulled out that gun.

Steffy: She shot you, finn.

Finn: She shot you. I am not going to let this go, steffy. Okay? I will find sheila carter. I will not let it rest. And she will go to prison for the rest of her life.

[Steffy gasps]

Deacon: Sheila, this is the end of the line. There’s no way out.

Sheila: There’s always a way out.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Oh, please. Let the bad sun go away.

Good morning, sunshine. Oh God.

Hey, handsome. What you in for?

Oh no,

there’s no hot water. The other is you just have to turn on the shower 10 minutes before you wanna take a shower.

Oh, you look adorable. Show up last night. I, uh, wasn’t expecting to sleep over. Oh, just go take a shower and grab one of, uh, race ropes. I don’t want whatever. You’re making a good cold

and I’ve decided. I’m owning this. Look, you’re gonna wake up to me in this row for the rest of your life. Oh, that’s fine by me because I know how easy it is to take it off.

Johnny. Hey, what’s going on? Hey, uh, I’m, I’m sorry to call you so early. I just, I had to know, do you still think we’re doing the right. Johnny, I’m just not sure anymore. God, I hate keeping it quiet. Wendy. You have to. Okay. You can’t tell Gabby this is so unfair to her. Look, you don’t know Gabby like I do.

Okay? If she, if she finds out, did my dad and your brother brainwashed Stephan, she’s gonna make him pay, you know, you know how tortured she is. Knowing Stephan doesn’t love her. It doesn’t love her is an understatement. I can’t stand the sight of her. Yeah, exactly. Okay. And she will be out for blood if she finds out that Lee and my dad had anything to do with it.

So please just stick to the plan. Okay then. Okay. I will try to put my dance aside.

This is our little secret and it will stay that way, Wendy. I didn’t know you were home

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

You have to stop calling so early. The phone woke alley up. Oh God. Did, did she hear you? Its me. Call you later. Sorry about that. No, it’s fine. Chanel Henry a daycare, so I got plenty of sleep. Um, when did you get back During the night. Did you see my note about why I was gone? Yeah, I did. Um, mind me asking who you were talking to just now?

Oh, it was Johnny. Did he go along on this trip you took? Yeah. Oh, so the two of you went on some mysterious trip together and now he’s calling you first thing in the morning. What happened between you two? Unless, of course, that’s the thing that you’re promising to keep a secret.

Oh, thank you. You’re welcome.

Best way, best ranch shadows I’ve ever had. Oh, of course there. It’s cause I’m an excellent cook. So, um, after we get married we can move in here. Um, Hey, I do this every morning. . So not happening . So you’d rather stand Salem in? No, I mean that’s not what I. I don’t know. I don’t wanna move in with my brother again.

I guess we can find our own place. Yeah, exactly. And when we do, you can spend a couple morning learning how to make.

Oh no. What a shame.

Now what? Don’t look at me now. I’ve really never approved of the facing public property, but it sure does look like the public opinion’s turning against you. Oh, I know how much you hated it when I was released on bail, not. I’m very happy the judge will let you out. Those spirit claw you make her to die for.

And then there’s the fact that the inmate who took your old cell is none other than your mother.

Paul,

I didn’t expect to see you here. Hmm, and I didn’t expect to see the dude who married me to Abe in the next L. I didn’t expect to see that either. You are Marlena’s son and he used to be a priest. They picked up the wrong guy. Right? Wrong. Oh, what? Don’t keep me a suspect. What’d they get? You? Assault and battery.

Ooh. Ex priest has a temper under the right circumstance. Yes, he does. Mm. So who you assault and batter? SMUGs. Son of a bitch who’s had it coming for a very long time.

Oh my God. What did we do? Isn’t it?

But how, how did it happen? You don’t remember? I’m going to try and not take that personally,

but that much drink could cause havoc on anyone’s memory. So, yeah, I, I, I do remember the two of us getting pretty. Yeah, I was a wreck over my mother. And you were a wreck over Eric. So last night we decided to drown. Our saw was in alcohol and then we came back here. Line Rapid. Oh God. Oh God. Eric was right about what?

I get dumped by a man and I get drunk and I turn into a helpless.

Okay. Okay, Mary. I’m not a hopeless sled and maybe I didn’t sleep with ej. Uh, come in

good morning, sunshine, or maybe I’m dead wrong.

I have to get going now. Yeah. I have an appointment with the florist. I know how much you’ve been looking forward to that. Oh, um, how long does it take for the shower to warm up? It’s okay. I’ll just, you don’t have to be there while I’m picking up the table decorations so I can just show up later. Say I love everything and hit the floor is my credit card.

You get hun. Quick . See, I told you. We make the perfect. Or we will mind you learn a few recipes. Yeah, I’ll get right on that. Okay. I’ll see you. Love you. I love you too.

That’s why I did what I did. What I told Johnny I to keep quiet about was, Oh, I get it. The two of you’re hugging up, right? Oh, that’s fine with me. Honestly, it’s not my business. We don’t want other people finding out, you know, my brother, his dad. Yeah. No, I, I will not tell anybody thanks. It’s just, it’s it’s pretty new and, and we just wanna keep it to ourselves for now anyway.

Yeah, I mean, like I said, what you and Johnny do is none of my business . Well, the thing is, I know, but she used to be married. Oh yeah. That might have been a sore subject for her before, but, um, she has much bigger things to worry about now. If you wanna come after someone, you come after me. Oh, I intend to.

My mother wasn’t even in town the night your mother died. Oh. But she showed up fast enough to make sure she cut a check to the college to cover your ass. That’s a crime. My mother, she was trying to protect me. She knew I was getting railroaded. It must be nice to have a mother takes care of you like that because of you.

I don’t have that. Or a father. The only protection I have is my knowledge. Do you know? You’re the reason I had the Uck so hard. Yeah. So that you could find out what it feels like to have everything that you cared about, taken away from you.

Baby, you look like you’re dealing with a world class hangover. Well, because I am. You’re not gonna toss your cookies, are you? Because I, I can’t take that. Even when Chanel was little. I can’t, I’m not gonna do. So you punched EJ because you were drunk? Something I wanted to do a long time. Mm oh. EJ seems to rub just about everybody the wrong way.

Yeah. He likes to do that. Mm. My youngest daughter used to be married to Johnny, his son for a while. Oh. I made a mistake of thinking, thinking that he’d wanna make a good impression on the mother of his daughter-in-law. , but he called Chanel a gold digger. To my face, it sounds like something he would do.

So what did he, what did he do that made you wanna haul off and punch him?

What he said about Chanel wasn’t true. He only said it because he wanted to hurt you and her. And what he said about me was, The only reason why he said it because he liked to look on my face, so I decided to rearrange his.

I brought you some breakfast. Ooh, yeah. I’m gonna take a hard pass some breakfast. Ooh. Especially that green stuff. Ah, ah, ah. The green stuff is a guaranteed hangover. Cure my mi Mar’s recipe . You had a Meemaw. Mm-hmm. , Meemaw Banks. My mother’s mother, she passed down the recipe and my mother swore by it, used to brew it up for me.

It offers almost instantaneous relief. Word of honor. Instantaneous, huh? Mm-hmm. . Oh, here’s fun. Near eye.

Oh, I don’t think this is made right. Mm-hmm. , it’s supposed to taste like that. Mother always said the only way to make sure it doesn’t come back up is to gag on the way down. No drink up. Then I’m in good shape. Mm-hmm.

she always looked out for me. Especially when I couldn’t look out for myself.

Tony, uh Gabby. Hi. Hey, um, I’m really sorry about Susan. Yeah, thanks. Uh, I really miss. She was one of a kind that’s killing my dad. I wish I’d been here for Oh, that’s right. Yeah. At the accident you were jet sitting around the road with Wendy. Yeah. You know about that, huh? Lee was, was ready to fire Wendy. I had to talk him down.

You do know that taking the company Jet out is a little over the top. Wendy, just start at that top. Yeah, I guess you’re right. Question for you though. Made you pick Indonesia as your romantic getaway?

I can’t believe Chanel was in jail. Yeah, that’s not all. Wow. I’ve been gone a long time. Honestly, it all happened really, really fast. But why? Well, there was something in Chanel’s past that I didn’t know about.

Wendy, you’re back. I just found out that you got arrested. I’m so sorry. Thanks. But you’re here. So what does that mean? They dropped the charges? No, I’m just out on bail. Um, I thought you were gonna open sos. Oh, I did. And then my day pretty much fell apart.

That grows on you, doesn’t it? Oh yeah. like a fungus , but I am feeling a little bitter. Thank you, cook for pad. I just provided the recipe, mom, not just for this, but for letting me stay the night. Sleeping in the office leaves something to be desired. Waking up in Egyptian cotton sheets is the bright spot of my morning

I wonder how Eric’s morning is sleeping one off on a caught in a jail. I’d say his morning is exactly as he deserves.

Paulina, can we not talk about last night anymore? Ah, I got my own EJ to deal with. Is he the reason why you. It’s a she. Hell have no fury, like a bitch with an ax to grind. I’m sorry. She’s not just going after me. She’s making it her business. Go after my daughter. What? I wouldn’t give, not the smirk of that phase of her.

Well, go ahead. Take your best shot.

I can’t believe Eric was drunk. I mean, he’s been sober since, since he caused that accident that killed Daniel. He told me last night, it’s just, I never seen him that drunk. I feel awful for him. , you’re joking. I mean it. He called you a slut. Me The devil encounter then punched me in the face. I. And then you backed me up when I decided to press charges against him.

I had several martinis by then. You’re not having second thoughts, are you?

Now that I’m sober, yeah. I’m having second thoughts.

She’s ready to take me. Now that there’s this set of bars between us, actually I just came to check out how you’re enjoying your new accommodations. Bit of a comedown from Governor Elect. I’ll be back on top. You’ll see. I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you. And by the way, your daughter, she um, she says hello.

You stay away from my baby. Your devotion to her is touching, but once you worry, you’ll be able to fight all her battles for her as soon as the two of you are serving time for which you did to my mother. I know how painful your mother’s death must have been, but that doesn’t change the fact it was an accident.

No, push my mother off that roof when we both know it. I don’t know any such thing. And you, you convinced the authority that my mother killed herself. So look, you can just drop this victim act. This is not gonna work for you anymore. This is not an act. I’m on this side of the boss. You did that to me because my mother was your victim and I’m your victim.

This Sloan sounds like someone you don’t wanna cross. Tell me about. Do you think she’s the one who wrote Murderer on the Window? Yeah. Who else would do something like that? She is not going to stop trying to make my life hell. You wouldn’t even crossed paths with Sloan’s mother if she hadn’t invited you and lied to you up until that roof and then she attacked snow.

And then I tried to push her off of me and she lost her balance and fell. That’s really how it happened. Yes. Yeah. You know that and I know that, but nobody’s gonna convince Sloan that her mother wasn’t out to get me. Why was that? Her husband was one of my professors and I had an affair with him. Oh. And right before he drank himself to death.

He told Sloan that her mother’s death wasn’t actually a suicide like everyone thought he told her that I pushed her. Oh my God, that’s awful. And never since then, Sloan has been out to get me and it’s working. And now I am being charged with murder and my mom is, is in jail for supposedly covering it up.

And what scares me is that I don’t think Sloane’s gonna stop there. I’m afraid that she’s not gonna stop until she goes after everyone that I.

So wait, if I went to Jakarta, what, where should I stay? What should I do actually, what should I buy? Uh, you know, I, I, I really don’t know much about the place. We made us come back right when we got there. I could see that it was beautiful though. Uh, maybe you and Lee could go there for your honeymoon.

Good. I’ll put it on the list. Yeah. You guys haven’t made plans. Well, no. How come? I mean, you, you’re getting married in a couple of weeks. Lee’s been really busy and I dunno, anything about planning honeymoon? I’ve never been on one, so Really? Yeah, my first husband and I, we didn’t have a lot of money and romance wasn’t in the picture when I married Stefan.

I fell in love with him later and actually talking about going on a honeymoon when I lost him. I don’t even know why I’m telling you all of this because Stephan. Nothing to do with me or probably never did. So, you know what, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry about Susan. Gabby. I have to tell you something.

Oh, blueberry pancakes. The blueberries were in the fridge. You did not have to do this. You guys have been so nice about letting me stay here. Please. You’ve hardly even been home. Yeah, but you’re going through such a rotten time here. I’ll get this up. Hey, if the woman wants to make us pancakes, let her make us pancakes.

Anytime I can help with the cooking, just let me know. Thanks.

Mm. These are great. Let’s see.

Hmm. Hmm. They really are. Yeah. I was starving. Maybe eating something will help make you feel better. Anyway, I, I don’t need a distraction. So tell me about your trip. . So, um, it sounds like it was exciting. Why did you rush back? You know, I hate to disappoint you, but it was mostly work stuff.

What did you wanna tell me? It’s about your wedding, eh, ladies, I made it. Hey. Yeah, right on time to help me pick everything. Yeah, you go ahead. I just gotta. Talk to Johnny about his little trip to Jakarta and uh, I’ll be right there. Go easy on him. Okay? Yeah. Find me later. Yeah.

You were just about to tell her what I did. Stephan, right?

Erica’s such a knack for making you feel guilty. Did he learn that while studying to be a priest? I don’t feel guilty. . I don’t, I just don’t think he should have been thrown in jail. He punched me in the face. Well, because you said he was stupid enough to lose me and the baby. I thought you didn’t remember anything from last night.

Well, that’s hard to forget. It’s junk as I was,

um, by the way, uh, did we have sex?

No good.

I could call the DA’s office and tell them I no longer wish to press charges or Sean Brady. He might not be so forgiving. I know.

If you would like me to make that call, I will for you.

If you think that nailing you and your daughter makes me happy, you’re wrong. I loved my mother. Nothing that I do will bring her back to. Chanel didn’t start this, your daddy did. When he seduced her, Chanel did the seduce her, and I’m sure this wasn’t the first time he used his position to take advantage of a pretty female student.

Any good PI will have no trouble digging up his other conquests. So if you wanna blame somebody for your mother’s death, you blame him. I just had a thought. Why don’t you pull some of those strings? You’re so famous for pulling. Get you and Chanel thrown into the same joint that your other daughter’s serving.

Time in for murder. God, get this snake outta here. Don’t let her in here again. I can’t just take you upstairs. Miss Brady’s here. Who? Oh, Brady, your lawyer. Oh. Oh. Good lot to, well, you can also tell Ms. Brady that I have hard evidence that details what you did to cover up Chanel’s crime. And tell her I said good luck to her because she’s gonna need it.

What are you gawing at?

I know Eric hurt me, but I don’t think he should spend any more time in jail.

As you wish,

straight to voicemail, it’s EJ Dira. Ms. Trask, please call me back at your earliest convenience. It’s about the assault charges I filed last night.

Satisfied. Yes,

I’m willing to do what you want. But don’t you think Eric deserves to find out that he can’t get away with treating you like rubbish?

I didn’t want to witness that scene anymore than you wanted me. Fortunately I couldn’t exactly leave the room.

Well, I have good to despise pulling a price. Hmm, I know, I heard. Well, just so you know, if she thinks that that two bit bimbo lawyer of hers is gonna get her out of this one, she’s gonna be sorely disappointed. Phil Brady’s not a two bit lawyer. She’s not a bimbo. And how do you know? Because she’s my sister.

Alright, well I would stay and help with the dishes, but I actually have to run the visiting hours at Salem City Jail. Just started, I am actually going to walk out with you. Um, it’s time to pick up Henry from daycare and I also said I’d taken see Santa at Barons also. I’m gonna stop by the bakery and check on the wedding cake design for your brother’s wedding.

Wait, you’re doing the cake for Lee and Gabby’s wedding? Yes. . No . Yeah. And the man was very specific about what he wanted. Why am I not surprised? Yeah, it’s okay. I mean, he seems really excited about marrying Gabby. I’m sure you’re really excited too. Oh yeah. Excited. That’d be me.

Okay. I saw the look on your face when I showed up. You’re just about to tell Gabby what you learn. Ja. What? What I learned. What are you talking about? Look, I already talked to Ralph. He told me everything. You know it talked to my sister. She said you keep her mouth shut. She said you would too. Have you changed your mind?

Nope. I won’t say anything. You sure your dad was in on this? You seem pretty eager to get something on him. Not anymore. All right. Not after he. Lost his mom. Her revenge doesn’t appeal to me. Get that. You made the right decision. Look, I said I’d keep my mouth shut. I didn’t say I’m okay with what you did to Steph.

I’ll tell you the truth. I think it sucks. I think you suck. I don’t care what you think of me, just stay outta my way. Must be nice just going through life without a. Hey, uh, is everything okay here? Yeah. Yeah. I was just telling your, uh, your fiance here. What a lucky guy he is. I’ll see you guys.

What are you doing here? Sally? Here? No, she and Chanal are gone. Come in. How much did she hear when I called earlier? Oh, she is heard me say that I keep the secret. Ah, uh no, it, it’s okay. She thought that you and I were hooking up and I said she was right. And that we don’t want anybody to know. Nice.

That’s Allie for you. Jumping to crazy conclusions. . Well, it was worse than that. She was all for it. Well then I guess we’ll just have to keep her thinking she’s right about us. Um, anyway, the reason that I came over was because I just had a major run in with your brother. Why? He got me talking to Gabby and he thought I was about to tell her what he did.

Were you? No, no, not at first, but then she started talking about how much she loves Stephan, and I could tell she still does. And so, yeah. Yeah, for a second I thought about telling her the truth and that’s when we walked up. So she still doesn’t know anything. No. And your brother made it very clear that we would pay if she finds out, gets like.

I think it’s gonna be harder to keep the secret than we thought.

The tables are gonna look really pretty. What’d you think? I’ll just be looking at you . Who are you talking so intently with Johnny about. Oh, well he can’t believe that. We haven’t picked our honeymoon yet. Huh? We should do that tonight. I can’t wait for this wedding to happen. Me neither. You know Johnny said you were a lucky guy, but I think we’re both lucky.

Thank God I found you.

I’m so glad to see you, but. Why did that cop say he was bringing me up here to see my lawyer? Well, bell was here, but she had to take an important call. So they said we could have a quick visit until she gets back. How are you? Are they treating you all right? Oh, takes more than a jail cell to keep me down, but, uh, some idiot cop let’s Sloan come down there and glow.

She’s having quite the morning. What? What do you mean someone scribbled a murderer on the baker? Oh, what? Yep. And it’s gone now. But Sloan showed up while I was cleaning it. Oh, well, she’s still in here. You know, I, I don’t, I don’t want you to have to deal with her again. You, you can get out of it. No, no. I’m not going anywhere.

Chanel, no, I mean it. You were here for me when I needed you. You’re my mama and I love you and I am going to do the same thing for you.

That’s really your.

Then, I’m sorry if I offended you. It’s okay. So why is she just here to see Paulina then? I mean, isn’t she gonna defend you too? I asked her, but she refused. Why? Well, let’s say I got a little hostile with her husband and he ended up on the ground. You knocked him down. It’s funny, you don’t really seem like the kind of guy I do a thing like that.

It’s been a hard week. I mean, I found out some things I didn’t want to know. That’s no excuse.

Sometimes life it gets so hard to take. Yeah. And anger’s the only thing that keeps you going. Acting out on that anger. Leave you needing a lawyer, which you still do need, right?

Yes, I definitely do. So what about me?

Well, I have to take a shower and get going. I promise Holly that I’d find us a place to live today. Oof. That could take more than. Well, I can’t leave Holly with Maggie indefinitely, and I kind of miss being with her . I have an idea. Why don’t you and Holly stay here until you find something? Oh, I, I, I, I couldn’t impose after all these years, you haven’t realized that Harold and the staff do all the work,

Yeah. But you’re still grieving for Susan and you are still grieving for your hopes for you and Eric.

Yeah, misery really does love company. Unless you have a better offer than the Dira Mansion. I don’t think so.

Oh, okay. Fine. Except . Good. Good. Oh,

to New Beginnings, thank.

[ Knock on door ] Curtis, what can I do for you? You can check the “joyfully accepts” box. I came to invite you to our wedding. And how did your follow-up go? Oh, just like all the others. I still don’t understand why I have to be poked and prodded on every few months. Can’t they see I’m my old self again? Well, who you calling old? You left your purse in the exam room. I didn’t leave it. I just wanted to give you something to do. And you are the man that I wanted to talk to. Oh? Yes. Have you given any thought to what we discussed on thanksgiving?

[ Sighs ] Oh, what did I miss? Nothing. Let’s go. Wa-uh-uh-uh — no, no, no. I’m not going anywhere. And somebody better start talking right now. Well, I suggested that marshall might want to get genetic counseling.

[ Clears throat ] Thank you so much for convincing curtis to let me off of house arrest so I can come out with you. You are not under house arrest. I mean, it sure feels that way sometimes.

[ Sighs ] Curtis just wants to keep you safe. We all do. But it’s broad daylight, we’re in a public place. I happen to have a gun in my purse.

[ Whispers ] Ava. I do. I have a permit. I know how to use it.

[ Chuckles ] But enough about security, though. Okay, let’s get into the holiday spirit. Let’s see. Oh, this! This should be my new look, I think. What do you think? I — is that good? Yeah, I think avery thinks so.

[ Laughs ] How many gifts have you gotten her? Eh, probably too many. But I love it. I love spoiling my little girl. This is nice, isn’t it? Spending time together. I miss seeing you every day at the gallery. Not any more than I miss you. Oh, but look, I have, um, some competition. Somebody else who covets your time and attention. You wouldn’t know it inside these walls, but out there, is christmastime, with all the magic and merriment it entails. If you say so. You know, spencer, it’s, uh, not lost on me that you’ve been keeping your distance ever since your great uncle’s visit. How perceptive. Would you like a prize? What I’d like is some common sense on your part. Tell me you’ve realized which side of your family you can trust. Happy holidays, mr. Cassadine. You have something for me? My intel confirms that holly sutton has a long recovery ahead. And the necklace? The authorities still believe it was destroyed in the fire. Unacceptable. Johnny, I thought you said I had a visitor. Hello, heather. Long time, no see. Hello, friend. Hey, what do you think? Yay or nay for violet’s stocking? No. Yay! Yay? Look at you, all christmassy. Used to be all “bah humbuggy.” Yeah, that’s before violet changed everything. For the better. That’s what kids do. It’s also what significant others do. Subtle. Very subtle. What do you think? Too blingy? I think you’re too blingy. Is that your way of ignoring my advice that I gave you? That you should talk to elizabeth? Nikolas: Thank you for coming so quickly. Is esme faking again? I don’t think so, but you’re the professional. Nikolas: What’s wrong with her? Has she been given any meds? Uh, just the prenatal vitamins that you brought her. Can I see them? Uh, yeah. Those were supposed to last a month. Are you suggesting that she took all of these?

[ Groaning softly ] You don’t need to get that personal. And tj is al we discussed you — you really didn’t have to include me. Well, we wanted to. We discussed it, and it just feels right having you there. Why? Because you’re important to me. And you’re tj’s mother, and tj is always going to be like family, which makes you family. And you know I throw a mean party. You always have.

[ Chuckles ] And hopefully… you will have caught the hook killer by then. And everyone in port charles can breathe easy. You sound confident. Well, after that recent article in the invader, it’s only a matter of time now. Right? Not necessarily. Alexis and her paper may have hurt our investigation, not helped it. Can you overdose on vitamins? You can overdose on pretty much anything. We need to pump her stomach immediately. Are you insane? You know, this little routine of yours is getting pretty old. If I were you, I’d try some new material. You didn’t really believe that we would fall for another fake-out?

[ Chuckles ] But you did. And you even called up your, uh, trusty florence nightingale, here. Yeah, okay. Well, excuse me for caring about my child.

Our child. And you. Were you seriously gonna pump my stomach to force me to come clean? If I had to. But I knew it wouldn’t get that far. You are sick. Look who’s talking. So you didn’t take all of those pills? I took one. Threw the rest away. Thank god. Wait, you actually took a prenatal vitamin? You said it was good for the development or whatever. Oh, don’t look now, but nikolas might not be the only one who cares about this baby. I appreciate all the help you’ve given me. But you were out of line suggesting that my uncle victor tried to kill my grandmother. That’s just — no. You would be wise not to put your faith in your great uncle. So I should put my faith in you instead? I was referring to a higher power. “And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” It’s doing my time in here that will set me free. Oh. Not the truth. And, by the way, for a guy who quotes scripture, you sure are quick to sit in judgment of my uncle. I didn’t accuse victor of anything new. Believe me. That doesn’t make him guilty. Nor does it make him innocent, either. That is for a jury to decide, just like they did with you. And, by the way, there’s a glaring difference between you and my uncle victor. He is on the outside while you are stuck in here.

[ Sighs ] Okay. My dear spencer… the difference is I am a sinner seeking redemption while your uncle wouldn’t know the meaning of the word. Not exactly brimming with holiday cheer, are you? The necklace may be a dead end, but my plans are still very much alive. So you have another angle? Always. Care to fill me in? In due time. Your job is to help me keep laura distracted and my family intact. You’ve pulled the necessary strings? I’m working on it. Work harder. Why — why don’t I leave you two to catch up, huh? Oh, you don’t have to go. I saw an ornament earlier that caught my eye. I want to snap it up before somebody else does. It’s nice to see you, officer cabrera. You, too. Hi. Hi. Are you free tonight? For? Dinner. Cops know the best places to eat. It’s a, uh, documented fact.

[ Chuckles ] I’m so holding back a doughnut joke right now.

[ Laughs ] For real. I want to take you someplace special for our anniversary. Anniversary? Three months ago today, we became official. It’s true what they say. Love is wasted on the young. Don’t you agree?

That’s what redemption’s my family’s history isn’t exactly spotless. No one’s is. But people can change, right? That’s what redemption’s about. Before redemption comes repentance. Is victor prone to asking for forgiveness?

[ Both chuckle ] I didn’t think so. And then there’s us. Putting in the work, trying to make amends for our mistakes. That’s a bond even stronger than blood. But we have both. And I truly hope that bond continues when you’re released, spencer. And when that day comes, uh, there’s something I want you to take with you. Consider it an early christmas present. As a matter of fact, I disagree. True love is a gift no matter when you find it, and no matter how hard certain people try to take it from you. You, you’ve never experienced love like that. Have you, victor? Hm. Well, hope springs eternal, ava. And when you’re free from that dysfunctional marriage to my nephew, who knows? Maybe there’ll be hope for us. Each of these claims to be written by the killer. So now I’m wasting valuable time and manpower tracing every one, even though we basically know they’re all bogus. I get the frustration.

[ Sighs ] Although, I do believe that when alexis printed that letter, she only had good intentions. She interfered with a confidential investigation. Yes, we have a theory that points towards esme prince. But if alexis takes it upon herself to decide what to leak and when, well [Scoffs] That just makes it harder for us. A theory. Legitimate one with actual evidence? Jordan. My soon-to-be stepdaughter’s life may be at risk here. If you have a way to end this nightmare… I need to know. Why are you avoiding my question? Avoiding? Who’s avoiding? We already discussed this. I want to discuss it again. So let’s rehash. Because you were very upset the last time we talked about your late wife cheating on you. And that’s pretty much the end of the story. Is it? Hm. Hey, look around. This is not really the — the time or place for this. What are you afraid of? Afraid? Who’s afraid? So, is there another reason you’re not talking to elizabeth? Off the record? Everything we say to each other is off the record. Mnh-mnh. The man that, um… reiko slept with… was elizabeth’s father. Did you fly all this way just to see me?

[ Exhales deeply ] I won’t lie to you, heather. Really? Why turn over a new leaf at this late date? And I am definitely not interested in dredging up the past. A past that includes our son — stephen lars. Or are you still more invested in saving the world than you are in your own family? If I wasn’t invested in my family, I wouldn’t be here. Aww. You think of me as family? Never. I came to tell you to stay the hell away from mine. Of course I care about the baby. It’s the only thing stopping this maniac from killing me. Do not listen to her. Remember what I told you when you first found me here? That nikolas tried to kill you? I didn’t believe it then, and I still don’T. Why would I have made that up? Uh, ’cause you are a desperate criminal willing to say or do anything to continue your reign of terror. For the last time, I am not the hook. Yeah, okay. But you’re starting to wonder. Why wouldn’t you? You’re curious to see what your, uh, friend is capable of. Go on, nurse baldwin. Ask him. Ask nikolas what happened on the parapet that night. I, for one, cannot wait to hear the answer.

R lies, esme.Mm! Except they’re not lies. Think about it. How did I manage to disappear the way I did, just vanished into thin air? Well, it wasn’t exactly my choice, was it, nikolas? Thanks to you and ava, I was — leave ava out of this. Oh. So protective. What does ava have to do with anything? She doesn’T. Mm. Who’s the liar now? It was a lifetime ago. We were in doctors without borders, and we were assigned to different islands in the south pacific. I guess reiko got lonely and… jeff webber was there. Got it. And I’m sure that was very disappointing, and I’m not trying to minimize this in any way at all. But? But, like you said, that was a lifetime ago. So don’t you think you should have gotten past that by now? There’s more to it than just the affair. Mm. But that’s not my story to tell. Oh. So it’s elizabeth’s story? And it’s new to her. And she’s understandably having trouble processing her feelings. Probably has lots of feelings about that. Yeah. Confusion, pain, anger. But not at you. Mostly at the situation. But we haven’t connected in weeks, and at some point… I guess I just stopped trying. Well [Scoffs] Why would you do that? What if there’s no point? Do you love her? Okay. That’s the point. So you stay in your corner, she stays in her corner. It’s just gonna drive you further apart. And here I thought you missed me. Knock it off, heather. And don’t pretend you didn’t try to contact my family. Making a beeline for my grandson when you had your big chance to escape?

[ Chuckles ] He works at kelly’s, jeff. Home of the famous blt. They don’t write that on the menu, but they should. It’s to die for. Stay. Away. From cameron. And where is this newfound concern coming from, anyway? Last I checked, you didn’t give a damn about your grandsons. Or their mother, for that matter. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Oh, don’t I? Were you there when elizabeth married my franco? Were you there for her when he died? No. You love the idea of being a family man, but when it actually comes to stepping up, doing the right thing, you cut and run. Is that… the one and only. Curtis, you know I can’t share privileged information. Even if it could bring a murderous criminal to justice? Jordan, trina is exhausted. She’s constantly looking over her shoulder. It’s just too much for her, and I’m not even gonna touch on what it’s been like for portia. And you? Well, it’s true, trina is not mine, biologically, but… to me, it feels like she is. Does that make any sense? It does. Then help me. Help me protect my family. I can’T. So much has changed since marshall was first diagnosed with schizophrenia. I just don’t see the harm in getting some current genetic testing done. Well, are you implying that marshall’s diagnosis was wrong? Well, I-I’m sure the doctors drew from the best knowledge they had at the time. But there could be other factors that are involved here. What kind of factors? Well… I’m standing right here, you know? And not saying a damn thing. As if I could get a word in edgewise? By all means. Portia. I don’t need any re-evaluation. I know what’s wrong with me. And I’ve spent my life ensuring that it wouldn’t harm my family. I understand what you’re saying. But from my — no, no. No buts. I’m at peace with my condition. Now, can you please drop this? My marriage to nikolas, as complicated as it may be, hasn’t ended yet, despite your best efforts. We know that esme is alive and the prime suspect in the hook attacks, which makes nikolas’ bogus confession completely useless. So, then, what will you holdover your nephew’s head now? Perhaps we should put our heads together and come up with a plan. I’ll pass. Besides, something tells me I won’t need to coerce nikolas into a divorce. Is that so? I get the distinct impression that he’s more than ready to move on. Don’t be shy. Tell elizabeth how you and ava thought you were rid of me forever until you discovered I was carrying the heir to the throne. What is she talking about? Mm.

[ Chuckles ] I’ll explain everything. Okay? But right now, esme needs some more of those vitamins. Can you go back to G.H. And get some? You’re trying to get rid of me. No, no, no. I’m just — I’m thinking about what’s best for the baby, okay? And right now, I’m seeing an opening of her actually showing some maternal instinct. I want to jump on it before it closes. Please? This conversation is not finished. I am well aware. That was a mistake.

Excellent attempt at poisoning the well. But I don’t do jealous. No, I’d imagine a woman like you wouldn’t have to. But don’t forget that nikolas is a human being with needs and desires of his own. Till next time. Bated breath. The favor I called in has been handled. Oh, my god. I totally forgot all about that. It has been three months. It’s wild, right? You came into my life at the craziest time. I can’t believe you haven’t run for the hills. Well, I might have been a rookie, but I knew you were being framed. Thanks for always believing in me. Always. Ooh, um, I got to get back to the station. I’ll see you tonight? Tonight. Cool. I’ll text you with details. Okay. About that young man of yours. Look, I know rory isn’t an art lover, and he hasn’t seen the world or studied abroad. Who cares about any of that? No, I-I was just gonna tell you… I envy you. I don’t feel comfortable accepting gifts from you. Oh. You misunderstand. It’s not for you. I-it’s for your friend trina. Look.

[ Inhales deeply ] I thought 12 drummers drumming might be overkill. This seems more appropriate. You keep one for yourself, and trina takes one as a token of your affection. Trina would love these. Yeah. But I can’t give them to her. Oh, of course you can. No, you don’t get it. Trina finally has her life back — the life she deserves. A life without you? Yes. All I’ve brought trina is pain and heartache. So the best gift that I can give her is to stay as far away from her as possible. Here we go again. What? This is the exact damn reason why we got a divorce in the first place. Because you insist on keeping secrets from me.

[ Scoffs ] That’s not fair. We’re talking about a police investigation. You were a cop. You know how this works. And I also know how willing you are to bend the rules and cross the lines. But clearly, only when it suits you. Curtis, listen to me. I am as anxious to protect trina and everyone else in her world as you are. If that were true, then throw me a bone here. I’m sorry. So am I. It’s not just the past that’s an issue. What else?

[ Chuckles ] What else? I, uh… read the invader’s account of esme attacking elizabeth on the pier. Okay. It didn’t mention what she was doing there. Well, I don’t know what she was doing there. We weren’t given that information. Off the record again, she was going to see nikolas cassadine. This is not a jealousy thing. I just don’t trust that guy after what he did to hayden. I wanted to kill him, but if elizabeth wants to be friends with him, that’s — that’s her choice. But after all that, I just — I have to admit it bothers me that instead of coming to me, she went to him. What? Well, now we know why elizabeth was out on the pier. But why was esme on the pier? I mean, was she targeting elizabeth, or was elizabeth just in the wrong place at the wrong time? Any more questions? Yeah. Where’s esme now? You don’t scare me, you know? You can’T. Not with this little, uh, bundle of joy as my insurance policy. For now. But once that baby is born…

[ Sighs ] Spare me the threats, okay? I’ve already planted the seed with elizabeth. Elizabeth is loyal to me. We’ll see. My bet is that, um, elizabeth is too dedicated of a nurse to let you get away with attempted murder. And when things start to unravel and the police get involved, you are going down and taking ava right along with you. And maybe even, uh, nurse nightingale, too. What do you want, esme? Mm. I thought you’d never ask.

Us it’ll be christmas soon. So? So I am missing out on all of it. The music, the decorations. Magic. I can’t even see out of the window. And in case you hadn’t noticed, it’s, um, not very festive in here. I’ll bring you some candy canes. How’s that? No. I want a tree. With lights and ornaments — the whole deal. Well, that shouldn’t be too hard to arrange. I’ll have demetrius bring you a fake one pre-decorated. No. I want a live tree, and i want to pick it out myself. Not a chance. Why not? Is that an actual question? Come on, it’s not like I can make a run for it anymore. Please? No! Nikolas, this is really important to me. I almost believe that you meant that.

[ Sighs ] My childhood was… lonely. I was adopted, not parented. My nanny was basically paid to raise me. Christmas was a nonevent in my house. But I did have this one friend whose family had this tradition of chopping down their own tree and bringing it home to decorate. It sounded like… heaven. So I begged my nanny to do the same thing. Let me guess, she said no. No. She said yes. But then she slipped and fell and wasn’t able to take me. So she asked the super’s son if he would do it. We picked out the tree. He even let me use the saw. We decorated it together. It was the best afternoon of my life, and I can’t tell you how much it meant to me. Those few hours actually changed me. All I’m asking is for a chance to feel that way again. Please? Nikolas, is that a yes?

[ Lock clicks ] Jeff: Steer clear of my family. No christmas cards. No fruitcakes. No surprise visits like the one you gave cameron. Are we clear? I’ll take that as a yes. Enjoy your time here. I know it’s difficult being married to a shrink. They can just turn it off, can’t they? So if you’re ever in need of some holiday cheer, you know where to find me. You haven’t changed a bit. We even have eggnog! You envy me? Is that so hard to believe?

[ Laughs ]

[ Chuckles ] You’re ava jerome. Mm. Beautiful, powerful, successful. You have everything. Trust me, “everything” is highly overrated. I’d settle for a guy like you have. Somebody…trustworthy. Dependable. A guy who tells you how he feels. Rory’s the greatest. Uh-oh. What is this? No, no, he really — he really is. He is. So why can’t i forget about spencer? You’ve heard the parable of the prodigal son, yeah? Refresh my memory. Well, he runs away from home. He squanders both his fortune and his good name. Then comes crawling back, expecting to be rejected. He wasn’t? He was embraced. Celebrated. “He was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.” Just… take the gift. Follow your heart. Thank you. I wish I could help you. No, you don’T. Because you can, you just won’T.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Sighs ] Come in. Sorry to interrupt. You wanted a report on security at rice plaza? Yeah. Go ahead. I was just leaving. Good to see, mr. Ashford. Good to see you, rory. Don’t forget to rsvp. This is really like a jigsaw puzzle without all the pieces. So if esme’s the killer, why didn’t she just finish elizabeth off? I don’t know. You know, if — elizabeth said that she called the cops right before the fall, so maybe if esme thought the cops were on the way, it makes sense she would run. But to where? I mean, it’s not like she’s running around hooking people in broad daylight. Wherever she — she is, she’s staying low to the ground.

[ Cellphone chimes ] What’s that?

Invader business? Yep. Okay. Uh… why don’t you go deal with that? I — actually, you just gave me an idea. Oh, I love it when I can do that. Oh, I love it when I can do that. Yeah, I mean, there’s — there’s another piece of the puzzle we’ve overlooked. Thanks for talking to me. Mm-hmm.

I just want what’s be for you, marshall. Well, maybe you should abide by marshall’s wishes and just forget genetic counseling. Instead, in this season of miracles, let’s focus on a few of our own. And what miracles would those be? Your return, for starters. My continued good health. Amen. And portia and curtis’ upcoming wedding. Yes! Oh, and the blessing that trina is safe. Yeah, we do have a lot to be thankful for, don’t we? Yes. Let’s put our energy into that.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Okay? Thank you. Uncle victor, I didn’t expect to see you today. A pleasant surprise, I hope? I’ll leave you to your visit. No, please, do stay. I have some news about my great nephew’s future. Spencer’s release date is weeks away. A lot could change before then. You wanna know what I think? Please. It’s something that I wish that I had learned long ago. Long before I ever met nikolas cassadine. Complicated men create chaos. And maybe it’s best if we avoid them altogether. So all that’s left is for you to sign off on the plans for christmas eve. Commissioner? Sorry. Yes, of course. Leave the report. I’ll look it over.

[ Door opens, closes ] Hi. Alexis, thanks for meeting me. Thank you. Can I get you something? Uh, a club soda, but there’s no hurry. Why did you want to meet me? I’m trying to catch a killer. That makes two of us. Yeah, I just left jordan at the pcpd, and, uh, it’s clear to me that they know more about those attacks than they’re admitting. Right. Maybe much more. So how do we find out what that is? Did you enjoy the show? If you could speak, I imagine we’d have quite a lot to discuss.

[ Sighs ] A winter stroll to pick out a christmas tree? What are you planning? Don’t worry, daddy. I know exactly what I’m doing.

[ Knock on door ]

Kyle: Oh, hey. Have you talked to phyllis yet? Told her she and the others have to back off?

Summer: Can we please not do this right now?

Kyle: No, no, phyllis, ashley, and nikki didn’t give us a choice. They are going to put our entire family in danger.

Summer: I’m not exactly pleased with my mother, either, but I’m also really fed up with all of the chaos and hysterics that seem to always surround diane. Look, all I am asking for is before you point the finger at my mom, that we hear both sides out first.

Kyle: Yeah, I suppose. But I don’t know if I can listen to phyllis objectively right now.

Summer: Okay, then can we please just table this and let things simmer down for a moment?

Sharon: You want some more coffee?

Chance: Uh, no. No, I’m all right right now. Thank you.

Sharon: All right. Sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you.

Chance: No, I appreciate you checking on me. Yeah. Been sitting here for a minute now, huh?

Sharon: Mm-hmm. Um, look, uh, I don’t mean to intrude. Uh, I know that you tend to hold things close to the vest. And I know that when rey passed away, we both lost someone who we could trust and confide in. I know I’m no rey rosales, but maybe some of my husband’s listening skills rubbed off on me.

Chance: I-I’m sorry, sharon. I, um… I just don’t think I can talk about it yet.

Sharon: I understand. Didn’t mean to butt in.

Chance: It’s over with abby. We’re getting a divorce.

Diane: Jeremy.

Jeremy: Hello, diane. Long time no see.

Diane: What are you doing here?

Jeremy: I was released from prison a few days ago. I have missed you.

Diane: Uh —

Jeremy: Would have been nice if you would have come to see me while I was inside.

Diane: Oh, I’m — I’m sorry. I just didn’t think that you’d want to see me —

Jeremy: No, you’re right. I can’t blame you. Nobody wants to see someone at their lowest point. But, uh, look at me now. Good as new. You look great, as well. You know, you’ve been on my mind lately. I have so much unfinished business to discuss.

Diane: Oh, I — it’s been so long. I-I can’t imagine that’s true.

Jeremy: Oh, sure, you can.

Jack: Hello. Who’s this? I tried everything to remove fabric odors,

Diane: Jack, this is jeremy stark. He’s an old friend of mine.

Jack: Well, welcome to genoa city.

Jeremy: Uh, thank you. It’s, uh — it’s a pleasure to be here.

Diane: You know, I-I’m sorry. You’ve, um — you’ve caught me at a bad time. We have someplace to be —

Jeremy: No, I know. This must come as such a surprise.

Jack: But we certainly have a minute or two to spare. Any friend of diane’s is always welcome here. So, how do you two know each other?

Jeremy: Well, I hope I’m not speaking out of turn here, but, uh, I was quite fond of diane when she lived in los angeles. She went by taylor back then. I’m still getting to know diane. I was in genoa city on business and, uh, thought I would, uh, catch up.

Jack: What line of business brings you to town?

Jeremy: Oh, you know, little of this, little of that. Anyway, I’ll let you get on with your day. But, uh, I hope that I can buy you a cup of coffee or a nice meal before I leave.

Diane: We’ll see.

Jack: Can I ask, how did you know to find diane here?

Jeremy: Oh, lucky guess. When I heard the fantastic news that she was a grandmother, I felt that this was as good a place to start as any. We all know how much diane loves her family. Good day.

Diane: [ Breathing heavily ] I-I can’t believe he just came here. I mean, he — he just — he just showed up.

Jack: Okay.

Phyllis: Hey, guys.

Summer: Hey, mom.

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness. So, it’s time to clock out, isn’t it? How about we go out to dinner?

Kyle: Yeah, we were just going to grab some quick on the way home.

Phyllis: Oh, all right. Well, why don’t we grab something quick together? We don’t spend a lot of time together. Want to spend some quality time with your mother-in-law? I mean, nothing is more important than family, right?

Sharon: Wow. I am so sorry. I mean, I know that you had mentioned that you and abby were having difficulties, but I had no idea that things had gotten this bad this fast.

Chance: It actually wasn’t that fast. Everything just came to a head quickly.

Sharon: Well, have you tried everything before going down this route? Maybe have a getaway together, some time to yourselves, reset?

Chance: Yeah, no, I wouldn’t even know where to start to try to fix all this. Think things are just too far gone.

Sharon: I’m really sorry.

Chance: You know what the funny thing is? When all this initially blew up, I would have done absolutely anything just to go back a few days and prevent the missteps that led to this whole collapse. But the more I think about it, the farther back I think I’d have to go to really try to fix things. It makes me wonder if it would have been better if we just never started a relationship in the first place.

Tucker: A, b, c, d, e, f, G. It’s the a-minor scale.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Tucker: He’s got it. He’s got it.

Devon: Right.

Tucker: He’s going to take to it like water, given his bloodline.

Devon: Right. Makes me really happy to see you get to spend time with your grandson. It’s nice. I know even a few minutes with him makes you forget all the worries in the world.

Tucker: Yeah. Well, how’s work, by the way? The loss of billy and nate. You find their replacements?

Devon: I thought that you and I discussed, uh, not talking about chancellor-winters business. Suffering from sinus congestion, especially at night?

Devon: You know, I would hate to think that you’re only spending time with us just so you can get information about my company.

Tucker: Oh, c– absolutely not. No, that was just an innocent question. There’s only a few topics that we can really connect on, and business is one of them. I’m not — I would never use my grandson as a pawn.

Devon: Well, I appreciate you saying that. We’re actually, uh — we’re looking at candidates right now to fill both coo positions.

Tucker: Yeah, I’m sure it’s difficult to find the right person, huh? The nate situation was really rough, but, you know, I believe it was an anomaly. Having a family company’s still the dream, right?

Devon: Yeah.

Tucker: It’s a lot more challenging in a lot of ways, but it also means more. And I wanted to tell you, I really admire the way you and lily work together. It’s impressive. The same way I admired the way you and neil worked together. You guys really created some strong and wonderful.

Devon: Thanks.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ] I’m not gonna lie to you. I have entertained fantasies that maybe you and I could create something like that one day.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Devon: Oh. All right, hey. I’m gonna go get the door. Do you mind?

Tucker: Yeah, are you kidding? Do I mind? Hey. Oh, yeah.

Devon: Thank you.

Tucker: Yeah. Aww.

Devon: Be right back.

Tucker: Right on the shoulder. Yeah.

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Hey. I’m here to get dominic. I know I’m early, but, um —

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: What is he doing here?

Diane: Thank you.

Jack: How are you feeling?

Diane: I’m not sure. I mean, how dare jeremy come here and have the nerve to mention family and — and to talk about my grandson.

Jack: Yes, that was unsettling, to be sure.

Diane: He’s trying to send a message.

Jack: Yes, but, look, this house is not hard to find. And so what if he found it? He can know where we are. No harm is going to come to any member of this family. Not as long as I’m around.

Diane: You know, I-I am enraged at more than just jeremy. I mean, he — he might have found me eventually, but obviously, he had some help. Someone led him here. He never would have come to your house looking for me unless someone would have tipped him off. And — and that someone even mentioned harrison! And we both know who that is.

Jack: Okay, you can’t be certain.

Diane: Oh, come on, jack. There is no doubt in my mind. Ashley, phyllis, and nikki have made good on their threat, and they can’t be allowed to get away with it. And ashley? The fact that she would bring that man to her family’s door? I mean, I-I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I know she’s your sister. But, god! Those bitches have gone too far.

Summer: Uh, you guys grab a table. I will be right there. Drinking alone?

Nick: Uh, technically, yes.

Summer: Are you okay?

Nick: Ah, just got into it with dad over something earlier that is none of his business.

Summer: Oh, grandpa sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong and offering opinions you didn’t ask for?

Nick: Yeah, well, he is who he is, right? How about you? Are you, uh, having a nice, quiet dinner over there tonight?

Summer: Uh, yeah. Sure, let’s — let’s go with that. Do you want to join me?

Nick: Ooh, I really don’T. No.

Summer: Come on.

Nick: Summer, I love you more than anything in this world. But honestly, that looks like it’s going to be filled with more family drama, and I’ve had my fill for today.

Summer: I could really use a buffer, and I’m pretty sure that falls under the list of fatherly duties.

Nick: Oh, come on. Are you pulling the dad card?

Summer: It’s what daughters do.

Nick: I’m such a sucker when it comes to you. Okay, fine, let’s go.

Summer: Come on.

Nick: All right, the party is here.

Phyllis: Yes, it is.

Nick: What are we talking about?

Phyllis: Um, marchetti.

Nick: Yeah. How is marchetti? Are mother and daughter at each other’s throats yet?

Kyle: Quite the opposite.

Nick: Don’t know if I believe that. You two tend to have creative differences.

Phyllis: Well, look at you coming in hot. Okay, that’s a really unfair characterization of me and my daughter.

Nick: I’m not saying it’s your whole relationship. Just when you’re working together, because you’re both very strong-willed, fiery women.

Phyllis: Yes, we are both strong women who get things done.

Summer: That’s right.

Phyllis: Right?

Summer: Mm-hmm.

Phyllis: Yes. And, um, thanks for asking. Things are going great there. Uh, we hardly see each other ’cause we’re at opposite ends of the building. So it’s pretty much sunshine and roses.

Nick: Hmm. Is that the mood for everyone? Including diane?

Adam: You know, this, um — this doesn’t have to be the end.

Sally: It doesn’t have to be. But it is.

Adam: We came here today for a reason. Because we both still feel something powerful and — and meaningful for one another.

Sally: I agree. That’s why it happened. But it’s also why it — …it won’t happen again.

Sally: [ Sniffles ] You can’t deny today was different. The connection. The emotion.

[ Sniffles ] We lost something that we can’t get back. But that’s okay. Look, I — I will always be thankful for you having faith in me when no one else did. And for showing me kindness when everyone else was throwing daggers my way.

Adam: Well, that was their loss. It was my gain.

Sally: I mean, you saw me in a way that no one else could. You helped me see myself in a whole new way. I mean, you brought things out of me I didn’t even know I had.

Adam: I, um — I don’t regret a moment we were together.

Sally: I don’t, either. Not anymore. You can be a wonderful, supportive, and loving man. And you are a spectacular father and a dedicated son and brother, even when that dedication is not returned. And — and even though your instincts to protect me were…

[ Sighs ] …Misguided… it was just a sign of how amazing a partner you can be.

Adam: Just — it’s too bad I can’t be your partner.

Sally: We almost made it.

[ Sniffles ] We loved each other with all we had and all we knew. And nobody can question or deny that. But… it’s time for us to move on. You know, hopefully, we can walk away having learned something so that next time we don’t make the same mistakes. Next time… …you and some very lucky woman will make it. We have to let each other go so we can find our true happiness.

Sharon: You know, I try not to regret a relationship, the good, the bad, and the ugly, because at least they teach us something, right?

Chance: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you’re right. I, um — I don’t regret our marriage. I think I’m just trying to cope with the failure of it. You gonna tell me not to look at it as a failure?

Sharon: It is. But I wouldn’t phrase it that way. It’s — you know what? It’s the end of a chapter.

Chance: Huh. Yeah. I don’t know. I guess I thought the rest of my story had already been written. What am I supposed to do now?

Sharon: You keep going, step by step, day by day, leaning into the things that make you happy and give you purpose in life.

Chance: Yeah, well, that’s work for me. I mean, that’s the only thing that’s never let me down.

Sharon: Can I ask you something? Are you still planning on being involved in dom’s life?

Chance: Yeah, what kind of question is that? Absolutely. I love that kid, sharon. That’s never gonna change.

Abby: Well, devon, I wish you had told me about this.

[ Dom fussing ]

Devon: I thought we talked about it, though.

Abby: I know, I know. Shh.

[ Dom crying ]

Abby: Well, I didn’t know that this was happening today.

Tucker: I can understand why you’re upset, abby. I’m sorry. I should have contacted you myself to let you know I was coming. He is my grandson. Either way, since I’m planning to settle down here in genoa city, I hope that you and I can find a way to make peace.

[ Dom crying ]

Abby: Shh.

Tucker: But, uh, well, is there any way that I can prove to you that I’m no threat to you or your family?

Abby: You know what? I don’t know. I just know that it hasn’t happened yet.

Tucker: Oh. Well, I don’t know if this will make a difference, but I’m just in love with that little guy. Because of my failure to find devon, I missed out on all that with him. And fortunately, he’s grown into an amazing man and father, despite my absence. Or maybe because of it. I don’t know. But I feel very fortunate to have him back in my life and now to be in dom’S. And, uh… it feels like a blessing. It feels like a blessing that I don’t want to squander this time. I don’t want to miss out on any more than I already have. I hope you can understand that.

Phyllis: Uh, diane has been great, actually. Yeah. We’ve been great. Everything’s great at marchetti.

Nick: Great. Uh, listen, I actually did not come over here to cause problems. Usually, you have that covered yourself.

Phyllis: Um, thank you. So, uh, can I ask you how you’re getting along with everyone at newman?

Nick: Sounds like my cue to leave. Uh, summer? I’m so glad you and kyle are home. It’s been a less than awesome day for me, and this has been a good way to end it. So good night.

Phyllis: [ Laughs ]

Summer: Okay. Um… does dad seem a little off to you?

Phyllis: Yeah, he does.

Summer: Do you think he’s all right?

Phyllis: Sure, he’s fine.

Nick: Hey, jack.

Jack: How are you, nick?

Nick: Good.

Jack: Uh, I’ll see you later. Hey.

Diane: I know what you’re trying to do, and it still won’t work.

Kyle: Hey, what’s wrong?

Diane: You will never, ever drive me away from my family. Do you understand?

Jack: Why don’t we get our own table? Here. Come on. Come on.

Summer: What the hell was that all about? ()

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Theo’s nose was cause for alarm, so dad brought

Kyle: Hey. What’s going on?

Diane: [ Sighs ] Jeremy stark is in genoa city. And the only reason he knew to find me here is because phyllis told him where I was.

Kyle: Hold — hold — hold on. Are you sure it was her?

Diane: Yes! Who else would send him after me? Kyle, he came to the abbott house. Where harrison lives. God only knows what he’s thinking or planning.

Kyle: Okay, where is stark now?

Diane: I don’t know. But I don’t want you anywhere near him. I’m serious. You have no idea what he’s capable of.

Kyle: I promised you I would have your back. And I do.

Jack: Kyle, diane’s right. We don’t know what we’re dealing with yet. Let’s not do anything until we discuss how we’re going to respond to this man. Okay?

Kyle: Okay.

Jack: Now, I’m going to get diane out of here before she and phyllis have an even bigger confrontation. With everything that went on today, we should never have come out. Come on.

Tucker: I’m not asking for your immediate acceptance. I just hope that you’ll keep in mind what I said. Either way, I assume he’s on a schedule, so I’ll take my leave. Uh, thank you for setting this up.

Devon: Yeah.

Tucker: I hope we can do it again. With your blessing, of course. Bye, dom.

Devon: Thanks for coming. Hey. I’m sorry. I thought you were fine with the idea of him spending time with dominic.

Abby: I had started to come around to the idea, but actually seeing them together… there’s just a lot of messy history there. It brings me back to a time in my life that I’d rather forget.

Devon: Well, um, do you — you thinking that you don’t want him to have any contact at all?

Abby: No, no. He is your father, and he has a right to have a relationship with dominic. I mean, I don’t want you to keep your son away from him. And as much as tucker makes my skin crawl, he seems to adore dominic. So who am I to keep them apart?

Devon: I promise I’ll monitor all their interactions.

Abby: Thank you.

Devon: Of course. I’m glad you’re here.

Abby: Me, too.

Devon: How you doing?

Adam: I don’t know what else there is to say other than, uh…

[ Sighs ] …I really thought we could work.

Sally: I did, too. But maybe this is all we were meant to have. Or all we were ready for.

Adam: You — you said what we had was real. My feelings, they’re still real.

Sally: So are mine. But love changes. And that’s all right.

[ Sniffles ] We’re gonna be okay.

Sharon: I didn’t mean to offend you. Look, I’m glad that you’re still planning on being a part of dom’s life.

Chance: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to jump down your throat. Just — just caught me off-guard.

Sharon: No, I get it. Getting a divorce is one thing, but divorcing when you share a child is a whole other level of complicated. Have you and abby discussed co-parenting?

Chance: No. No, not yet. I know we probably shouldn’t put that off, but everything just feels a little too raw right now. I-I still love her, sharon. It’s just our relationship wasn’t a good fit. And I can’t imagine how that affected our parenting and how this is going to affect it now. Look, I know it’s not dom’s fault. I just — I have to have that conversation with her.

Sharon: Well, you and abby do have one advantage. A third co-parent — devon. That could be a great buffer. In fact, it might be easier and even more effective to go through him until you both feel more comfortable communicating directly.

Chance: Yeah. It’s an idea. Maybe. As someone living with type 2 diabetes, hi, my name is tony cooper.

Abby: Well, I, um — I talked to chance. And talking did not help things at all.

Devon: Why? What’d he say to you?

Abby: He said he doesn’t see why we should prolong the inevitable. And he wants to move forward with a divorce.

Devon: He doesn’t want to try counseling or anything? A trial separation? Something?

Abby: No. And I am trying to be brave and pragmatic, because, I mean, I can understand why chance feels that way. Why should I expect him to stay when I am the one who broke our vows?

Kyle: For summer’s sake, I have tried to give you the benefit of the doubt. I have tried to restrain myself from making judgments, to not take sides. But your childish and reckless behavior has gone too far. There is more at stake here than your delicate ego. You have put my family in legitimate danger, and now I have to go fix it.

Summer: Kyle, wait. What are you talking about? What needs to be fixed?

Kyle: Jeremy stark, the man my mom worked for in L.A., The convicted felon, flew to genuine city and went straight to our home looking for her. Where our little boy sleeps.

Summer: Oh, my god.

Kyle: And according to my mom, it was your mom who sent him there.

Chance: Victor.

Victor: Chance. Have you had occasion to talk to my daughter yet?

Chance: I have. Sorry to say, you won’t be pleased with the outcome. Goodbye.

Victor: Hi. Good afternoon.

Sharon: Hi. I couldn’t help but notice you were a little dismissive of chance.

Victor: That’s putting it mildly. When have you seen abby last?

Sharon: I couldn’t really say.

Victor: Mm. You would have known, then, that she’s heartbroken, okay? Chance did a lot of damage to her. I hardly see any reason to be cordial to someone who causes pain for my daughter.

Sharon: Well, there might be more to the story than you realize, and you might be being a little bit too hard on chance.

Victor: What do you know? If you still have symptoms of moderate

Phyllis: Hey, I thought you left, so I canceled your order. I’ll get it to go, okay?

Summer: Diane wasn’t freaking out over nothing.

Phyllis: What? I-I don’t know what diane was doing. She’s crazy. I keep on telling everybody this. Everybody.

Summer: You’re not getting out of it that easily this time, mom. Just be honest with me. I’m literally begging you to tell me the truth, because i have been going to bat for you, and I’m starting to realize that you’re making a fool out of me! If what kyle just told me is true, then I don’t even know what to say to you. How could you do this to our family? How could you put our family in danger? How could you put harrison in the line of fire?

Phyllis: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Summer: Oh, I am so sick of you feigning ignorance. Don’t lie to me. You told jeremy stark that he could find diane at the abbott house.

Diane: I am — I am so sorry I lost it earlier. I mean, the whole idea of — of going out was to thank you for how wonderful you’ve been throughout all of this. And instead, I forced you to double down on your support of me. And that is not — that is not what I had in mind when I suggested that we have a meal together.

Jack: Hey, hey, hey, I know that.

Diane: I mean, look at me. I’m just, like, a basket of nerves.

Jack: I am looking at you, and I see nary a nerve.

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: There, you’re already bouncing back, just like you always do.

Diane: Thank you.

Adam: You deserve the world, sally. I’m sorry… that I couldn’t give it to you. But I-I don’t ever want you to settle for anything less. I hope you never forget that.

Sally: [ Sniffles ]

Adam: Nick.

Nick: I guess this is a bad time.

Tucker: Hi. Uh, scotch, neat, please.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Jeremy: “Jeremy stark is in genoa city.” You have done your research, talia.

[ Knock on door ]

Kyle: I’m only going to say this once. Leave diane jenkins alone.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Brooke: Must have been really hard for steffy.

Hope: I mean, can you imagine? How long has she been hoping for her parents to get back together? And then they’re finally standing up there at the altar and she has to make the difficult decision to speak up. I mean, honestly, I’m– I’m proud of her.

Brooke: I am too. It took guts for her to tell the truth, even though taylor wasn’t able to.

Steffy: Oh. Hello. Um… hey, so before you start in on me, I just wanna say–

Brooke: Thank you. I wanna thank you for what you did.

Sheila: Oh! Can I do it again?

Deacon: Hm?

Sheila: Come on. Let’s play a game of rummy.

Deacon: No.

Sheila: All right. Then, how about strip poker?

Deacon: No, thanks.

Sheila: Come on. What’s your problem? I’m– I’m just trying to have a little fun.

Deacon: Yeah. Well, the fun can’t continue.

Sheila: What do you mean?

Deacon: We can’t bury our heads in the sand. Your time’s running out, sheila.

Sheila: Time’s running out?

Deacon: Yeah.

Sheila: I’ve got news for you, buddy. Time’s running out for all of us. That’s why we have to make the most of it and have as much fun as we can.

Deacon: Yeah. Shacking up with an escaped convict, that’s– that’s fun? That’s making the most of my life?

Sheila: Well, no, it’s not if you keep turning me down.

Deacon: Sheila, listen to me. We cannot keep pretending that this can continue. It can’T. You’re gonna get busted, especially if you keep going out of here in that disguise. This only ends one way. That’s with you in a prison cell.

Finn: Woman wanted for attempted murder, mauled to death.

[ Knock on the door ]

Sanchez: Dr. Finnegan, it’s detective sanchez.

Finn: Come on in, please. Hey, thank you so much for meeting me.

Sanchez: I gotta admit, I was a bit confused by your message. What is this all about?

Brooke: I realize you were in a tough spot finding out what thomas did.

Hope: It was still so hard to believe after all the hard work he put into bettering himself to gain our trust, and then to fake that phone call to cps to make everyone believe that it was my mother.

Steffy: Yeah. And to drag douglas into it and ask him to lie. I really don’t know what to say. I’m– I’m angry. And I’m– I’m embarrassed. I’m horrified. I mean, my parents should be celebrating their honeymoon right now.

Brooke: I know that’s what you wanted, steffy. But it shows a lot about your character, that you’re willing to tell your father the truth. I don’t know what’s gonna happen between ridge and taylor and me, but it doesn’t matter. I didn’t want him to make a decision based on a lie. And that’s thanks to you. So whatever happens, just know that I’m grateful for that. I’m grateful to you.

Steffy: You don’t need to thank me. Telling the truth, exposing my brother, I did it for my parents. So, when they do get married, there won’t be any lies between them.

Brooke: That’s important for any marriage. But I have to say, I’m not sure they’re gonna get married after this.

Steffy: Well, my father has some deep soul searching to do. That’s why he left town. To gain perspective. Same with my mom. But I will say, thomas’s lie, him framing you, it still doesn’t change how my father feels about my mom or what drove him to propose to her and want a future with her.

Brooke: Hmm. What about taylor’s actions? Or should I say lack of action?

Steffy: Okay.

Hope: I have to admit, steffy, I mean, it is surprising that taylor decided to keep quiet and– and that she thought there was still a chance for the wedding to happen.

Brooke: Ridge found out that thomas manipulated him into thinking that I lied to him, that I called cps and taylor found out about that moments before the wedding. So she had to know that that’s why ridge left me. That’s why he gave me annulment papers. She realized that the ceremony was based on a lie, but she was still willing to go through with it. I’m stunned. I’m really stunned your mother would do something like that.

Sheila: But what is it with you? Why– why is it always doom and gloom?

Deacon: It’s called facing reality. You can’t hide here forever.

Sheila: I agree. I just–

Deacon: How are you not stressed by this?

Sheila: What good would it do for me to stress? I always land on my feet.

Deacon: Maybe in the past when you had ten toes. Might not be so easy this time. Sheila, face it. You’re living on borrowed time. That prison cell is calling.

Sheila: Okay, I get it. I get it. Things they look dire. But you know what? I’ve had my back up against the wall before. They all thought my days were numbered when I was in genoa city. And– and look what happened? I relocated to los angeles. I… I married eric forrester. And when things got bad, did I– did I panic? Did I give in to the negativity? No, I didn’T. I reinvented myself because that’s what I do. And this isn’t gonna be any different, I promise you that, deacon. I am going to walk away a free woman again.

Deacon: You shot two people. You kept a guy prisoner. You drove a woman off a pier. But yeah, freedom’s right around the corner for you.

Sheila: Of course it is. Have you ever heard of a corpse going to prison before? Everyone thinks I’m dead. And if they try to lock up this ghost, I’m gonna float right through those bars again.

[ Sheila laughing ]

Finn: Something’s been bothering me. Haven’t been able to put it out of my mind.

Sanchez: Okay.

Finn: And I know I should just accept it and move on. You know, forget all about it. About her. Did you bring it?

Sanchez: Yeah, I did. And along with everything else pertaining to the case.

Finn: And it’s okay that I have it?

Sanchez: Yeah. Like I said on the phone, case is closed. I mean, they were a little delayed, but the medical examiner wanted this to go to the next of kin or be destroyed. So as sheila carter’s son, this now belongs to you. A mystery!

Steffy: Please don’t judge my mother. She wasn’t planning on keeping the secret.

Hope: Just long enough to marry ridge? I mean, I’m not trying to judge. It just, it does seem a little shady.

Steffy: My brother convinced her not to say anything. And his argument, it’s– it’s valid because he said my father was marrying my mom, not because of the cps call, not because of you, brooke, because he actually loves my mother. So why should we spoil the wedding?

Brooke: Well, thankfully you felt otherwise.

Steffy: Yeah, I do agree with thomas somewhat. I know that my father loves my mom. He assured us. And that’s why he was marrying her. But like I said, I didn’t want them to start a life based on a lie. I didn’t want there to be any secrets between them.

[Phone chimes]

Hopes: No matter what the motivation, I mean, we’re grateful to you. I mean, thank you for speaking up when you did.

Steffy: Yeah, yeah, of course. Um, hey, it looks like I’m gonna have to miss the hope for the future meeting. I– I– you can forward me all the notes if that’s all right.

Hope: Yeah, no, sure. Actually, I mean, it’s starting soon, right? So, I should probably get going.

Steffy: Huh.

Hope: Is everything okay?

Steffy: Uh, yeah. Finn just asked me to go to the hospital. I’m not sure what it’s about.

Brooke: Well, thank you again, steffy. I am very impressed with what you did.

Steffy: I don’t know if that’s a compliment or an insult, but you’re welcome.

Thomas: Brooke.

[ Thomas sighs ] What’s going on?

Sheila: Hey. Thanks to my cleverness, everyone thinks I’m dead and I am out of prison and off everyone’s radar.

Deacon: Thanks to your craziness, you mean. I feel like they should give you a discount on shoes when you have nine toes. I still cannot believe that you did that.

Sheila: You know what? Desperate times call for desperate measures. Nurse sheila’s surgery, it worked out just fine. And that’s all that matters.

Sanchez: You know, forgive me for asking, but what are you hoping to find with this? Closure?

Finn: Maybe.

Sanchez: You said something was bothering you.

Finn: Just how she died. So brutally. I guess I’m just looking for a little more insight into what went down.

Sanchez: Well, I mean, you could, um, call a zookeeper. I’m sure they’d be able to tell you a little bit more about bear behavior than some chomped off toe can.

Finn: That may be right.

Sanchez: I should get going. It was good seeing you. You can give me a call if you have any more questions.

Finn: All right. Thank you.

Sanchez: Mm-hmm. Hello, steffy.

Steffy: Hi, detective sanchez.

Sanchez: You’re doing well?

Steffy: Uh, yeah. I’m fine. Is everything okay?

Sanchez: Yeah. Just dropping something off to your husband. I’m sure he’ll explain.

Steffy: Good to see you. Why was detective sanchez here?

[ Steffy gasps ] Is that– what are you doing with sheila’s toe?

Finn: Hopefully getting some much needed answers. (Birds chirping)

Thomas: You should probably take that photo home with you, by the way. Dad’s not gonna want it around once he’s married to my mother. That’s still happening, by the way, even after this little hiccup.

Brooke: Hiccup? That’s what you’re calling what you did to me and to your father. What is wrong with you, thomas?

Thomas: I don’t know. I– I mean, I had a really screwed-up stepmom when I was a kid.

Brooke: Oh, my god!

Thomas: Other than that–

Brooke: This again? Do you really hate me that much?

Thomas: I don’t hate you, brooke. God, honestly, I don’t even think about you that much.

Brooke: Oh, you do. You think about me all the time. You think about how to ruin my life, how to destroy my marriage.

Thomas: That’s not about you. That’s about my father and wanting what’s best for him and his happiness.

Brooke: Thomas, you don’t give a damn about your father and what he wants. All you want is your little fantasy of having your family back together. Well, you know what? You hurt your father. You betrayed him by destroying our marriage. What has he done for you? He’s done nothing but defend you and love you and supports you. And this is how you repay him? This is how you show your love? What? You have nothing to say?

Thomas: What do you want me to say? Like, I’m sorry. Or I really want you and my dad to live happily ever after? No, I’m not gonna do that.

Brooke: Wow. You have no remorse. None at all.

Thomas: Because I don’t want you with my dad and ruining his relationship with my mom? No, I don’t have remorse for that.

Brooke: I’m really worried about you, thomas.

Thomas: Don’t be. I’m fine.

Brooke: No, you’re not fine. I’m worried about all the things that you’ve done, the lies, the manipulations, the things you’ve done to my daughter, how you treated her, your schemes, your bad choices. You’ve done so much. But this time, you’ve gone too far. You hurt both of your parents, thomas. This time, you’re going to pay for what you’ve done.

Steffy: Answers about sheila from her toe? What exactly are you talking about?

Finn: Something about her death just never sat right with me.

Steffy: I mean, you’re not wrong. I definitely had my questions and concerns, but it seems like all the evidence from the scene adds up. I mean, perfect example. Her toe is proof.

Finn: Chomped off toe as sanchez put it.

Steffy: What exactly are you thinking?

Finn: It’s just a little convenient, right? This idea that sheila was attacked and mauled by a bear? I– I– I avoided bringing it up to you. You just had so much going on with your family.

Steffy: Bringing what up?

Finn: This suspicion I’ve had. I mean, does this look chomped off to you?

Steffy: I don’t– I don’t really know. That’s not my area of expertise.

Finn: I wanna look at it closer, like under a microscope. But just to the naked eye, it’s– it looks too clean.

Steffy: Oh, my god. Are you suggesting sheila isn’t dead?

Finn: I think she’s alive, steffy. Sheila carter is alive.

Sheila: This little piggy went to market. This little piggy stayed home. And this little piggy had roast beef. This little piggy had none. And this little piggy, well, she had to take one for the team. But she’s kept mama out of prison.

Steffy: Is it true? Is sheila alive? Oh, my god.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Go home with you. Sorry, pal. I look, I know I have had a few drinks. I am not drunk. I, okay. Calm down. I wasn’t suggesting anything lascivious. I was nearly offering you one of our many guest bedrooms. Oh well honey, are you sure or better use for them than to rest the weary head of the fellow damage saw and I wouldn’t be any trouble.

No trouble at all, truthfully told I could use the company. Okay. What the hell? Ow. Oh, you’re a little more blotter than you originally forget. Oh, lemme talk. You come here. I’m fine. No you are not. You’re a mess. Come here.

Oh God. Give me a strength. How are you doing with ej?

Leaving now? If you excuse us leaving. What the hell you going? Not it’s any of your business, but she’s coming home with me,

Jada. Don’t worry about it. Okay. All right. Just feel better. All right.

Uh, from the look on your face, I think it’s safe to say that that didn’t go well. Yeah. Trask isn’t backing down. I didn’t think she. Yeah, she’s gonna charge Paulina with this so-called coverup. So now she has to spend the night in jail. Oh, Paulina was elected like two seconds ago. The pavers are gonna have a field day with this.

Yeah, I’m sure that had nothing to do with draft’s decision. Isn’t that woman? She lives to see her name on the front page. How’s Paulina doing? Well she said she thinks she can handle whatever Sloan and craft dish out now that Chanel’s outta jail so well for now. She could still be extradited the uk. So you bet you were cut out for your counselor.

Hmm. So does Stephanie. I know she’s supposed to be some PR genius, but I don’t know how you spend this one.

Alex, what are you doing here? Well, when you canceled on our day, you said you were busy and I thought maybe you wouldn’t find the time to eat. So thank you. That is so thoughtful. And also unnecessary. See, when you told me that you were busy, I assumed with work. My bad.

Okay. Well, it’s shorthand and typing at a hundred words per minute. Shorthand and typing. Yes. I have to wear hat and gloves and fetch the boss’s coffee too. Okay. Let’s just go at this from another direction. What are you good at? Fast learner. Mm-hmm. fast fingers. Mm-hmm. , excellent fashion sense. Okay. Well, you just advised my brother that he should not wear a shirt for the rest of his life.

Exactly. Look, Sonny, I get why you can’t give me a job at Titan, but could you at least give me a reference right. Well, I know Paulina won’t, so, so we definitely have our work cut out for us. Yeah.

Sunny, I know you don’t have to be doing this and I certainly don’t deserve it, but I do appreciate it. Um, right now I have nothing better to do.

Yeah, your doppel was wrong. Sometimes my schemes actually do work. Like tonight. For instance, I wasn’t really gonna go visit EJ dressed like Susan. I just needed Brady to see me in a new light. And guess what? It worked

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

I thought, uh, you were putting Rachel to bed. Yeah, she was stalling. Her grandfather wanted her too. Tell her another story. Were you having a full on conversation with that doll? Well, I don’t know how much you heard. Just enough to be concerned.

You know, I, I took this job, right, trying to put the bad guys away, and still there’s so many of ’em out there that are just running around free. And meanwhile, I’m arresting the likes of Pauline and Chanel. I know, I know. It’s been a rush couple weeks. But you have tomorrow off, you can relax and regroup.

No, not anymore. Jada just called, she said she needs a couple days off medical leave. Is everything okay? Yeah. Yeah. She said she’s fine. She’s just recovering from a medical procedure. Really? What kind of medical procedure? What did she say? He said, I’m going home with him. Are you drunk? Passing judgment, Derek.

Whew. How? Out of character, you’re drunk and you’re going home with him. I am not drunk. And even if she were, it would be none of your damned. You know what? You stay outta this. This isn’t a good idea. You remember what happened last time? Oh, are you referring to when I slept with Xander? If you’re worried about my marriage or my reputation, well stop because it’s shot to hell.

Yep. Nicole Walker, fallen woman. Well, I’m worried about you. You, you are butting in. Yeah. Well, you remembered that was the biggest mistake of your life. She’s looking at the biggest mistake of her life. So you’re gonna double down and go home with this poly. The hell is wrong with.

What happened to that candy dish? Oh, uh, uncle Vic is watching his blood sugar.

I’m sorry. Was that your stomach? Neither that, or a small plane is coming in for. Didn’t you eat dinner yet? I’m on a budget of $0 a day. I cleared out the donuts at an AA meeting for lunch. Leo, you’re in aa? No, but they were free. Oh my God. Okay, I think I can take a hint. What? Hint? I’m gonna go talk to Cook, see if he can lift with something up.

I hope I’m not overstepping. No. I think we’re way past that point for anybody.

Oh, son, your phone

will, well, let me know what’s up. It’s Leo. That’s not what it looks like. I told Chad he could go home to his kids, but he said he’d stay. So I was just showing him how grateful I am for his health. We’re in the middle of a crisis here. What’s going on? Well, we were about to issue a PR statement for Paulina, but then, um, I normally wouldn’t share this, but it’s about to hit the news any minute now.

Pauline has been arrested for what? The DA came up with some bogus charges about a criminal coverup. It’s all just an obvious ploy to keep her name in the. , which is sort of hard to counter because, well, they’re not exactly untrue. We’ve been wrestling with a revised statement, but I, I don’t know. It’s just, it’s sounding more generic than I want it to be.

Oh. Do you think a fresh set of eyes would help, or? Well, if you’d be willing to take a look, that would be amazing. Obviously, I don’t have any other plans anymore, and I did stick my neck up to steal that file from Sloan. So I got skin in the game too, and she knows also my friend and I would love to help her and her mom.

Let’s give her a little look. Oh, what do we have here?

Oh yeah, they are in a hell of a mess.

Uh, Jada didn’t tell me what kind of procedure and honestly, it’s, it’s not really my business. Right. Well, no, I mean, I’m just asking because, um, Eric told my mom that Jada’s pregnant, she is . Wait, do you think this has something to do with the baby? Well, I mean, isn’t that likely, how many medical procedures do pregnant women have?

Do you think that, uh, what She had an abortion? No. No, no. Especially because she told my mom that she was. Going through with the baldness and Eric is so excited about being a dad. No, I just, I just hope nothing went wrong. Why don’t you just go ahead and say it, Eric? Huh? Call me a slut. I’m calling you anything.

I think he’s sleeping with EJ is a big mistake. I didn’t say I was gonna sleep with him. I said I was going home with him to his. To his guest bedroom because I don’t have a house because I blew up my marriage to be with you, and now you and RA both hate me and I’m sleeping in my office. I don’t hate you.

Of course you do because you think I talked your girlfriend into having an abortion. I just don’t know why you talked to her at all. She doesn’t have to listen to any more of your, get your hands off for her.

So what are you so concerned about? I just, you know, I think it’s a little strange you talking to inanimate objects. I mean, Rachel and I have been playing dolls so much. Uh, the Dawson, I are on a first name basis. How maternal, by the way, we got, um, Rachel’s Christmas list. She texted it to me and, uh, it’s, she texted it.

Yeah. That’s how they’re doing it these days, apparently. So, but we have all the traditional items. We have, uh, bike, we have a real pony, we have, uh, wrong. New item added to the list. Um, she says, more than anything in the world, what I want is for mommy and daddy to be married.

What? No, Sunny’s fine. He’s just in the other room getting us some food. All right. So Cook said, what are you doing on my phone? I’m talking to your husband. Well, hi. Hi. Yes. No, everything’s fine. I was just helping Leah look for some jobs online. Yes, I remember everything that he did to. But a lot, a lot has changed since you’ve been gone.

I, it’s can look. Can we just, can we talk about this? When you come home for Christmas, we’ll have snow and missile tell,

what do you mean you’re not coming home?

You put Rachel up to this, didn’t you? Of course not Every kid wants their parents to be together. Rachel’s no different. Yeah, but now she actually thinks it’s a possibility because you blackmailed your way into this house. Well, I don’t see it that way. I don’t think there’s any other way to see it.

Kristen, I’m sure you didn’t bother telling her that. She’s getting her hopes up for nothing. Okay. If I wanted to get married to you, I wouldn’t whisper it in Rachel’s Sierra. I would just make it a condition of our agreement. In another month, Marna, Kate and Kayla are gonna get sick again. I will just march you to the altar.

In exchange for the organ. It’s going cure them. Yeah. Mm-hmm. . And you’re just working your way up to that, aren’t you? No, I’m not. And I never,

Jada told me the other day that she and Eric broke off. Well, yeah, but they’re still gonna raise the baby together. I mean, Eric has always wanted to be a father and he would never ever leave Jada High and drive, but Ray said that. Ray said that Eric and Nicole back together. Yeah, having a baby is complicated, but still Eric would be a really good dad.

Now you worried about him, aren’t you? Hopefully it’s nothing. I’ll give him a call tomorrow. You wanna get outta here? Yeah, I’m gonna try to get Paul rained in the morning, so there’s not really anything else I can do here tonight. So what do you say? We, uh, drown our sorrows at small bar. Sounds like a plan.

All right, let’s go.

You don’t have to go home with him. Oh. Are you offering an alternative? A room at your dad’s bar, perhaps. Maybe next door to your ex with an axt grind. I’m trying to overlook. You beat a Dirtbag because your mom died. You keep my mother’s name out of your mouth. Where do you suggest I go, Eric? He probably thinks you should go to house if you don’t stay out of this.

I swear. Swear. What? What? Hmm? You gonna knock my block off? Go on, take a. You know, it might make you feel better to blame me for your screwed up life, but the fact of the matter is it’s all on you. You didn’t have to lose your baby. And Nicole, that was your choice.

Oh, what? Your job, your job? No, no, no. Of course, of course. I understand. Why, why wouldn’t I understand?

Look, I, I’ll talk to you later. Okay. Bye. What? No, I. Not tonight.

Sunny. I’m sorry. Yeah, me too.

Hmm.

It’s wrong. You don’t like it? Oh, what’s that smell? Oh, stinky tofu. The best I’ve ever had. Mind you. All right here in the little town of Salem. I couldn’t believe it. And you need to try it. Okay. If you start to feed her, I’m outta here. Oh, great. No, no. We have well established boundaries. Boundaries.

Hmm. I mean, that’s delicious. Maybe I’m more of a tofu fan than I thought. Ah, broadening boundaries. That’s my specialty.

Okay. So you guys have both read the statement. What do we think? I think it looks solid. We’re kind of. Tepid. I mean, I really think that you need to go on the offense here rather than just running away from the accusations. Yeah. Pauline can’t admit to anything. There’s an ongoing case. No, I’m not saying we gotta get into the details of it.

What I mean, Chad, is there anything that you wouldn’t do to protect your kids? No. No. What parent wouldn’t, I mean, at the end of the day here, isn’t that all that Pauline is really guilty. Why should she have to apologize for that? No, you’re right. She shouldn’t. You just gave me a great idea.

What the hell is wrong with you? Oh God. Are you okay? I think so. What’s going on? Your brother assaulted me. Is that true? Well, I didn’t push myself to the ground. What happened? He got his niggers in a bunch because his girlfriend had an abortion and he decided it was Nicole’s fault. Oh, here, that’s fright.

So was Nicole’s personal life. Alright. Right. All right. All right. All right. Calm down. Okay. Come on Eric. Let’s go outside. Hey, go. What? Get your hands off of me. Have you been drinking? Have you? Yeah, I had a drink so, Eric, you don’t drink anymore. What’s a choice of not an alcoholic? Tonight I chose to have a drink.

How many did he have? I don’t know. He just got here. So you had a drink and you got in a car and you drove and you came to a bar to drink more. What are you the alcohol police? No, I’m just a friend. Yeah. Like I said, let’s go outside and get a nice breath here. I said gets your hands off.

I look skeptical because I am. What’s stopping you from upping your auntie on your blackmail? Grady? When I got out of prison, you wouldn’t talk to me. You wouldn’t even look at me. And now, . I, I, I mean, I had to break through that wall somehow. And now look at us. We’re living together, we’re raising our daughter, and I’m not gonna keep giving you ultimatums.

Really? Mm-hmm. . No, I don’t wanna force you into something that, uh, you don’t want. But what we had was always real.

Right. Yeah. I, I’m glad to hear you say that. You are. I am. Because if you are since. About not wanting to manipulate me into a situation against my will. If you truly do love me and care about me, prove it and just give me the orchid.

So why isn’t we coming home for Christmas? It’s the same old stuff. He’s doing another movie for Peacock and they want the writer to be on set. They’re filming over Christmas apparently. You don’t think he’s lying, do you? No,

of course not. Well then why don’t you just go out there and see him? Because I can’t, and it’s not like he exactly encouraged it. And besides, Gabby’s already made a bunch of plans, Ferrari this winter, so.

Hi. I guess my answering your phone didn’t help. Hey, why, why did you answer my phone? Well, I, I called you and you didn’t hear me, so I thought I could let him know that you were here. I forgot. I’m kind of a trigger for him. Sonny. I swear I was not trying to make any trouble. Yeah. Well you don’t have to try Leo.

You just do.

Yeah, I’m gonna go. I, I really appreciate your help. Uh, looking at the one ads. See ya. We wave.

Why don’t you just stay for dinner? I mean, the, the food’s almost ready. That way you won’t have to have stale donuts Again,

it’s, it’s better, but it’s just, it’s still sounding a little flat to me. Hmm. It is closer though.

Do you know what’s missing? It’s pulling his voice. She would never say, my daughter, she would say My little. You’re right.

There you go. That’s perfect.

If you really want me to believe that you’re not being manipulative anymore, Kristen, if you really want me to believe that you wanna stop blackmail me by using Marlena, Kate, and Kayla’s lives. Then just give me the orchid now.

Oh, Brady, I would really love to do that, , but, um, what would stop you from kicking me out? Calling the cops and then going back to ’em is, Well, I’ll, I’ll tell you what would stop me. Number one would be Rachel’s reaction to having her father kick her mother out on Christmas and send her back to prison. As far as Chloe is concerned, I can’t go back to Chloe Kristen.

She’s with Stephan now. Yeah, but you’re, you’re gonna still move me out and, uh, that would crush Rachel. Rachel? Mm-hmm. , how are you? This living arrangement isn’t so terrible. Isn It you might, you, you really might want to ask Dad and Marlene No. And I’m asking you. I’m asking you, Brady. I mean, we’re raising our daughter together.

She’s happy. I’m happy. Isn’t there just a little part of you that’s happy too?

Oh my God. Are you okay? Yeah. Yeah, I’m okay. Two assaults in one night, and one of them an officer of the law. Aren’t you going to arrest him, officer Brady? Well, are you pressing charges? Why wouldn’t I? Well, EJ. Eric didn’t mean of course he did. Just like he meant to hurt you when he accused you of killing his baby.

You don’t owe him anything. Nicole, not a damned thing.

You’re right. I don’t if EJ wants to press charges and I’m not gonna stand in his way.

I’m sorry man. I don’t have a choice.

To teamwork. Hey, I always said three heads are better than two. Hey, cheers.

Hmm. Well, I hate to tell you this, pal. There’s only two fortune cookies. I didn’t know you’re gonna be hanging out. No worries for you. . Thank you. All right. What does your mind say here?

Help. I’m trapped inside of a Fortune cookie factory. Huh? Top that one. Wow.

What? Oh, it’s silly. Oh my God. What does it.

You’re looking at the man of your dreams.

Do you need any ice for that jaw? All I need is some ice for my scotch. Can I get you anything? Uh, no. Nothing. I think I’ve had enough for the night.

How are you doing?

Not good, Eric. I, I feel responsible for him going off like that tonight. You can’t blame yourself. You even, you agreed that I talked Jada into having an abortion that doesn’t excuse Eric’s behavior tonight. Yes, he wanted a baby, but JD didn’t. She realized that when she was talking to you, and if Eric can’t accept her choice, that’s his.

Yeah, I suppose, but coming from a woman who can’t have a child, I’d do anything to be in her shoes to be having a baby with her,

aj, my, my head is spinning. I don’t know what to think or, or how to feel. It’s just that after Eric got drunk behind the wheel and killed. D I know. I just never thought he’d drink again.

You’re worried about him. His sister is his lawyer, his brother-in-law, his arresting officer. He’s going to get off with a slap on the wrist and hopefully that’ll be the wake up calling needs,

and this is, Is a bonafide criminal and he’s getting me arrested if he pressed charges. I don’t have a choice. Bill. Can you help me here? Do something. I’m sorry I can’t.

Do I look happy? Hmm. While answering the question with a question is still an answer, Kristen, if you suddenly think that I’m just gonna decide to, to marry you, look, I’m not that delusional. No, no. I’m talking about baby steps. We could just start right now by, uh, spending the night together. That’s not a baby step.

Mm. Come on Brady. We’ve had sex before. I have never known you to turn me down. Oh, come on. Hey, now you just wanna give into your feelings. Say, screwing it. Why don’t we just go make love right now?

Oh my God. Oh my God. This one is perfect. Highly paid. Executive assistant, self-starter, organized, thinks outside the box. That is me to a t. Oh wait, it is me, , Paulina’s looking for my replacement. What? That’s not funny. I’m sorry. I just, I can confidently say that Paulina will never find anyone else like you.

You know, you’re right about it.

Right? Well, for our finished year, I should, should probably get home. Thank you for staying really. Yeah, my pleasure. Not sure how much I helped, are you kidding me? I couldn’t have done it without you, both of you.

Well, we’ll see you tomorrow. Hey, thanks for the tofu. Hey, you’re welcome man. Good night. Have a good night. Nice chat.

All right. I would like to apologize for overreacting the way I did before. No, I’m glad you came in when you did A new perspective was just what we needed. I do feel bad about our date though.

Brain check

sounds good to me.

I this suit you Well, uh, it has a bed so. 30 beats my office by a mile. . Well, you’re welcome to stay for as long as you need to. There’s toilet trees in the bathroom and aspirin for the headache you’re going to have in the morning. And if you would like your thing sent here, I can just, oh yeah. Ej, given our history, um, I don’t plan on overseeing My welcome.

Thank you for this.

Oh my God. Is this your mother’s room?

I mean, get these out of your way. Oh, well, are you sure you want me to stay in here? I mean, there’s so many other rooms. It’s the nicest room, and I would like you to have it. You deserve it.

I’ll see you in the morning. Sleep up,

of course, close for the day. There’s nothing the bell can do for you. Listen, Eric, I know that there are extenuating circumstances here, and I get that you’re really upset, okay? But you’re not even facing charges for the worst thing you did here tonight. You assaulted a cop. I barely, my husband touched him.

Okay. Eric, please keep your voice down, right? You were drinking and driving. You punched EJ ejs in the ass, but sure, you know what, you just, you take his side. I mean, after all you slept with him. Are you serious? You want my help and then you provoke me. You know what? You’re on your own. Tomorrow. I’ll get your own lawyer.

I’m sorry. Get him out of my face. Hey Eric, let’s go. Come on, bill. No, we’re gonna get you locked up. Let’s go. Come on. Let’s go.

Sorry

until you hand over that orchid to me.

Nothing’s gonna.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

they are the I’m trying to do the right thing here. Try being honest instead. You want honest?

[ Knock on door ] Dex. It’s sonny. Open up. What is

he doing here? Pretend no one’s home. I know you’re in there, dex! Open up!

[ Scoffs ] What’s plan b?

[ Knock on door ]

[ Door opens ] Hey. Is this a bad time?

[ Chuckles ] I’m not sure what a good time is anymore.

[ Sighs ] I am so sorry about what happened. With holly.

[ Sighs ] Well, uh, I, uh — I visited the doctor, and he said that she’s got a long road ahead of her but that… she’ll pull through.

[ Sighs ] Thank god. But, uh, I was really talking about… what actually went down between the two of you. Has robert changed his mind and decided to join us? He hasn’t answered my texts. Maybe he just needs some time. I know my brother. He’s brooding, sitting around, worrying and waiting to hear about holly’s injuries. It’s not good for him. Says the other stubborn brother.

[ Chuckles ] This is gonna be the first decent meal you’ve had in days. Evening, all. Any news on holly? Well, last we heard, she was holding her own. Well, good. Hopefully that continues and she makes a full and speedy recovery. We appreciate the well wishes. Whatever happened to holly has your family’s fingerprints all over it. Everyone knows where the ice princess is involved, the cassadines aren’t far behind.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Hi! Hey. So, you’re not on the schedule new year’s eve. Do you have plans? Uh, not yet. Maxie and I will probably just make a reservation somewhere. Why?

I’m throwing a birthday party sounds like fun. Am I invited? Look, I know you wanted to keep it private for as long as possible, but, look, the secrecy is working against you. It’s working against us. I’m — I’m just not ready for anyone to know about my diagnosis. It’ll change how people treat me, and I’m afraid wiley will pick up on it. Wiley is going to find out eventually. I know, but I need to do this in my time, on my terms. I want to support you on that. Okay? I do. But, honestly, willow… it’s impossible. I thought you were hitting dead ends trying to find members of the commune where harmony got willow. Yeah, one of my contacts was doing a story on a firefighter in clairborne county and found out that the subject was a member of the friends for peace and love commune. Oh. Willow warned, you know, that the former members are pretty private. Yeah, no, I realize there’s no guarantee I’ll get them to talk, but I like my odds. Really? Yeah. Why do you think that? Well, because the firefighter agreed to take the time to fly here and meet me. Checking in to the metro court tonight.

I’m sure you’ll be much too busy to attend my birthday celebration, cody. Grifting women’s shiny inheritances takes time. Ohh.

Au contraire. My charm offensive only takes half an evening, at most. That is, unless the heiress is as closed off and…secretive as you. Don’t — don’t leave, doctor. Cody bell is just leaving. I-I-I’ll thank you not to barge into my birthday celebration the way you just barge into my private conversations. Listen, britt. Britt. I know I haven’t behaved well, and I get why you’re angry with me. Anger implies investment. We went out a few times, shared a couple of laughs. It was more than that. You know it. What I know is… there’s no future here. You’re a gambler. You know how to cut your losses. Yeah? Well, what if I don’t want to? We don’t always get what we want, do we? You didn’t get taub’s necklace, so you know better than anyone. Where there’s trouble, there’s victor. Do you now have evidence that my father is to blame for holly stealing that necklace and trying to escape with it? I can’t connect victor directly, but he’s been all over town, pulling strings, causing people to make desperate decisions. Of which I’m sure you’re aware. I can’t speak to that. I don’t want to hear you defend your father, considering how he framed anna for what happened to lucy. Anna and I are very close. Lucy’s my business partner. If you have evidence, I’d very much like to hear it. Anna is our good friend, too, just as lucy is our friend. Felicia, I’m trying to remain optimistic about lucy, but there’s still no sign that she survived. Well, still, we’re doing everything we can to work things out. Chief scorpio, I’m not trying to defend anybody. And you would be wise not to assume you know where my loyalties lie.

I’d be wise? I’d be wise, would I? Well, let me give you a piece of advice. If it takes the rest of my life, your father’s going down. Just take care you’re not too close when he does. The last thing I expected to find was, uh, you staring at pictures of the woman who double-crossed you. Um, look, I-I… I know how… however wrong holly was, it — it — it can’t erase those memories that we had together. And, my god, I wish it could. Oh, robert, I know very well how much holly mattered to you. I mean, I — I just wish that your feelings would have mattered a little more to her. You’re gonna think that I’m making excuses for her, but in many ways she got a raw deal.

[ Scoffs ] Holly had — had some hard choices to make. Well… even if you’re making excuses, I’d say that’s very generous. I’m not sure she deserves that kind of loyalty. Despite everything that happened, holly didn’t deserve what happened. Of course. You gonna visit her during treatment? I-I can’T. I hear you. Your generosity can only extend so far. It’s not that. It’s just that I don’t think this would give us the closure that we need. That closure probably doesn’t exist. Hm, I’m not sure a therapist would agree with you on that. That’s why I don’t have one.

[ Laughs ] Look, it’s just that — it may be that holly and I were never destined to work out. Every time we get close, it goes up in smoke. And this time…it took the ice princess with it. That’s why holly stole that necklace! It was part of the ice princess! Allegedly. I wanted to have my people look at it to confirm that one way or the other. Oh, robert. You must be in such big trouble with the wsb. Well, they’re not happy, but I can handle it.

[ Sighs ] You’re the D.A. You’re working with the wsb. Holly had to have known how much this was gonna cost you. What are you getting at? Robert, there has to be more to this than greed. With all that you and holly have been through together, there had to be a bigger reason that holly would betray you. Wow. You are amazing! Getting that guy to fly all the way here just to talk. Woman. Actually. Clairborne county’s first female firefighter. That’s why my guy was doing a story on her. Oh. That’s impressive. What makes you think she has anything to offer? I’m not sure what she knows, but denise and harmony — or — or lorraine, as she was known back then — they were friends for a while. I’m just — I’m hoping denise can either confirm or discredit harmony’s story of how she came to have willow. Okay. I see. Uh… you’ve got doubts. No! No. I-I just think you’re putting a lot of expense and effort into finding willow’s birth parents, and I just hope you’re not disappointed if it doesn’t pan out. I know the possible pitfalls. I do. But I still got to try, right? Yeah. You know, I should call willow… oh, no. …And see if she wants to join us. No, no, no. You don’t want to do that. I mean, look what happened today, right? Y-you fainted while arguing with nina. If she had known what you — I didn’t want nina pitying me. I understand that. What’s best for my health is staying as far away from nina as possible. I get it. I feel the same way about sonny. But the thing — michael. There’s no comparison. What took you so long? Uh, sorry, boss. I was in the middle of something. Well, I gotta talk to you about something. Business opportunity. Okay. Can I meet you at your office? What’s going on? Well, it’s a business conversation, right? We should have it where you do business. Why do you want me out of here? Are you hiding something?

I’m sorry if I upset mac. Oh, he — he just needs a moment to cool down. He’s been running himself ragged, with lucy’s disappearance and anna being framed and on the run and now this thing with holly. It’s very personal for him. I certainly understand his hostility towards my father. Did he have anything to do with what happened to holly? Robert believes that holly was passing information to victor, and I suspect that it all has something to do with ethan because no one has been able to reach him. Ethan. Is that holly’s son? Yes. Do you think something happened to him? We don’t know. All we know is that he’s done a disappearing act. Well, I might be able to help with that. I have some associates at the bureau that I used to work with. I’ll make a call. Oh, no! You can’T. So, what just happened with you and cody? Um, I’d rather talk about my birthday. So, what do you think about the haunted star? I — [ Chuckles ] I don’t know. What do you — I mean, I guess if you want to go all-out, sure, yeah, why not? Yeah, I’ve never had a birthday party in my life. Wait. You’re exaggerating. No. Seriously? I mean, even the unpopular kids got a cupcake.

[ Chuckles ] Not me. I had A… untraditional upbringing. So I say it’s high time I throw myself the fiesta to end all fiestas. Uh, any particular reason why you want to do that this particular year? Is this you treading lightly? Apparently not. I mean, we both know there’s no telling how many birthdays I have ahead of me, so I might as well go out with a bang. Willow fainted today. W-what?! Is she alright?! She seems to be. Nina came over, picked a fight. When willow went to fight back, she collapsed. God, nina is relentless! Yeah, she is. So let’s question denise first and see if there’s anything to report back. Okay. Okay? Hey, I appreciate your insights, alright? But I think maybe it’s better if I do it one-on-one just to make denise a little bit more comfortable. Just so she doesn’t feel outnumbered. Yeah. Okay. Okay? And y-you’ll fill me in after? Yeah. I’ll fill you — you’ll be my second call right after willow.

[ Chuckles ] I don’t want to get willow’s hopes up, but I do — I really want to keep her in the loop. Just so many people have lied to her in the past. Willow: Don’t get me wrong. I know how betrayed you feel by your father. Don’t you? I mean, for months, nina and sonny have caused us nothing but grief. Everything that’s happened is because of nina. That woman seems fixated on causing trouble for our family, and sonny is actively supporting her. Agreed. So what am I missing? Just how much your anger at sonny is costing you. After you got shot, where’d you lay low? Dex: I was on foot. Right. There was no way I could make it back here, and I didn’t want to compromise you, so I found a spot that was secure. On your own? You see what I’m talking about? You’re always holding things back from me. I promised the person that helped me that it wouldn’t come back to them. You also promised that I could trust you! And you can. But I can’t prove that by betraying someone else’s trust. That’s not good enough! It’s gonna have to be. Okay. You got one last chance, dex. Who stitched you up, gave you the means to the e-mail? Who helped you out? It was me.

ur lifeto the fullest” thing, but, britt, this is just — it’s — this is not gonna be your last birthday. It might as well be. I mean, come on. How can I sing karaoke if I’m slurring over the lyrics or barely able to stand? Yeah, you don’t know that that’s gonna be the case. I don’t know that it’s not. And I-if this is — if this is you thinking that I’ve — I’ve given up or I’m making peace with it, I am not at peace and I am mad as hell. I am so mad that I’m renting out

the haunted star and wearing four-inch heels! And I know I don’t know enough friends to even fill my mother’s apartment’s rec room. But I don’t give a damn. I’m gonna do it anyway. I am gonna throw the biggest, baddest birthday party. And coworkers and family and friends and casual acquaintances can all come as long as they look fabulous and are prepared to party on the dance floor, which is what I’m gonna do.

[ Chuckles ] “Fear of death is for those who have regrets.” Oh, I have — I have loads of those. Yeah. And it’s not, um — I don’t fear death. I-I fear the getting to it. I mean, I know how this is gonna end. That’s why I’m choosing to live in the moment and — and not think about tomorrow because I-I may not like tomorrow. So I’m gonna dance like it’s 1999 and revel under the bright lights and lose myself on the dance floor. I’m in. Good! Yeah? Yay! Because I want to do it with those that are near and dear to me. And I don’t even care if you sing off-key. Mac. I figured you weren’t coming. Well, you said it was important. It is. You want one? You know, I’m normally a beer guy, but something tells me I’m gonna need it, so sure. Um, I’ve got some news. That necklace that belonged to leopold taub, the one you were due to inherit, was stolen. Okay, so that story in the news, that the media has been following that woman who left, that was my necklace? I’m glad you’re up on current affairs. I don’t have to explain what happened. Well, the hell you don’T. Let’s start with how you’re gonna try and track it down.

[ Sighs ] I’m afraid it’s unrecoverable. Okay. Alright. So you’re just giving up on trying to find it just like that? We know where it is. Or was. It was destroyed in a fire. Why can’t valentin look for ethan?

[ Sighs ] Not everything with holly is what it seems. What does that mean? I think the person you really want to talk to is robert. Um, before I forget, charlotte had wanted me to invite you over for dinner. So any night this week is — is fine with me. So you’ll let me know, okay? I’m sorry, but I do have to run. Of course. I’ll be in touch. Yes. Have a nice night. Thank you. Would I be right in assuming that my contacts at the bureau would find zero trace of ethan? It’s a theory. It’s a good one. Victor’s taken holly’s son hostage, as well, hasn’t he? Does it really matter why holly did what she did at this point? Of course it does! Robert, if that necklace holds the key to something bigger, then — you know what? Whatever her reasons were, holly’s paying for them now. But so are you, my friend, and — and if you ever need to talk… olivia. Thanks, livvie. I mean, I-I know. And I really appreciate you, uh, dropping by. Okay. Well, whatever happens, you’re not alone. Hey. Where’d you go? Did — did something else happen? Did — was it nina? Or sonny do something? I-I wanted to tell you that, um, nina saw me and brick together, and she got the wrong idea. How wrong? Well, she went running to sonny, telling him that brick and i were having an affair. I mean, the same thing she did with tj and willow. I cannot stand that woman! That’s why you told sonny about us. Yes. And I’m sorry. But I heard that sonny was giving brick a hard time, and I just couldn’t stand it. Ohh. It is too bad that michael and sonny are on the outs. We could use his resources to help track down willow’s birth parents. Who needs sonny when drew cain is on the case? I think you handle things just fine. Do you, now? Yes, I do. You know, dex wouldn’t tell me why or how he got shot, but I figured it had something to do with you, and you just confirmed it. Joss. What? I need to talk to sonny. Okay? I’ll call you later. Fine. You know, I don’t know why he’s so loyal to you. So far, it’s gotten him shot and hung from a meat hook. But…it’s his call. Has nothing to do with me. Okay. Hold on, josslyn. Did you run over here alone? Yes. Okay. You need to have frank, uh, drive you home. I don’t want a ride from you, sonny. I don’t want anything from you.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ] Out of everybody in the city… you go after my stepdaughter for help? Sir, I would never purposely put josslyn in that position. How so? I was weak, barely thinking, okay? I-I remembered from the picnic that the boathouse at the quartermaine estate had supplies. She was on the grounds. I collapsed, and she found me. And then she took me back to her dorm room. Big mistake, dex.

My focus is on you and our baby, and I’m dedicated to helping you fight this cancer. But how can you be if you’re fighting your father at the same time? Michael, I-I’m not asking you to drop your anger for sonny’s sake. I’m not defending anything he’s done. But the more that you feed into your anger, the more you are letting him win. You’re smarter than that.

[ Scoffs ] Well, now you’re appealing to my vanity. I’m stating a fact. You know the difference between what seems important and what truly matters, don’t you? What truly matters is you… and our children. Hey, uh, would it be okay if I — if I step out for an hour or so? Sure. Is everything alright? Yeah, no. It — it will be. There’s just one last thing I got to take care of, and then I’m — I’m all yours.

[ Door closes ] Boss, I was out of it when joss took me back to her dorm. I didn’t want to stay. But when you are losing blood and developing an infection, options are limited. And not telling me? Joss saved my life. Okay? The least I could do was minimize her exposure. Look, if that costs me this job, so be it. But just know I will never speak of our dealings, either. Okay. Listen. I don’t want to talk about this. We’re gonna deal with that later. But I’m telling you right now — this thing with josslyn… cannot become a habit! I’ve tried telling her that. Then try harder! Okay. They’ve come to me with an offer… uh, to use my facilities for some… unofficial exports. If I decide to take the offer, you’re gonna be stepping into a role with a lot more responsibility. Are you up for that? Oh, I’m up for it. You better be. There’s no more room for mistakes.

[ Lock clicks ] Don’t mind me. Oh. Hi! Joss. Hey. Hey, josslyn. Hi, drew. Um, everything okay? Yeah, everything’s great. Uh, you? Yeah. Everything will be great. When we don’t have to worry about being caught kissing. Hm.

[ Knock on door ] Sonny:

Dex. It’s sonny. I hear ya. Okay, I haven’t spoken to maxieabout new year’s eve, but please put us both down as “will attend.” Ooh! Excelente! Partying with my peeps. My final epic turn-up. “Final”? You’re not planning on making an early exit, are you? Are you, britt? Isn’t that my choice? Sure, I guess, but what about the peeps you just said that you wanted to party with?

[ Sighs ] Don’t worry, doc. My oath to do no harm extends to myself. I’m just not into being a burden. Okay. You’re leaving port charles? Is that what’s going on? Right after the party. Okay. Again, what about the peeps that want to be there for you? It’s not about them. It’s about how i want to go out. I’m not — I’m not pushing anyone away. I’m protecting my privacy. W-what just happened with cody? I don’t want to talk about that. Are you really done with that guy, or are you just pushing everybody away because of your illness? So I lost another inheritance. That’s — that’s got to be some kind of record. You want another one? I’m buying. Diamonds are notoriously hard to destroy. Are you sure there’s nothing left?

[ Chuckles ] You know, this place I used to work once… there was this wild mustang. Untrainable. That’s what everyone said. It was a beautiful animal. I was smitten immediately. So I took to gaining its trust. So I’d feed him. And I’d groom him. Till finally I got a saddle and a harness on him. It was one of the greatest days of my life. Two minutes in the saddle, he bucks up and tosses me off. I broke my wrist and most of my pride on the fall. He didn’t care. It just wasn’t in his nature to be ridden. You know, I didn’t know leopold taub. And I’m glad about that. You know, he sounds like a rotten guy. I mean, was it his nature, or was it — was it something that he chose? And what about me? I mean, the things that I do, is it — is it my nature or… is it because I just keep… making the wrong choice over and over? For a second, I thought I was gonna have an inheritance, something of worth that would make me worthwhile. Now I’m back to nothing. How’s that for irony?

[ Chuckles ] Money isn’t everything. Says people who have it. Eh, you must think I’m shallow. I think it’s a shame you grew up without a father. Look, I get why you were invested in taub’s money. It’s likely the only good thing about being his son. Holly: The ice princess

has a bad habit… of destroying those who covet it. Be careful. I’m always careful, love. Except with your heart.

[ Knock on door ] Laura: Robert? It’s laura. Yeah, laura. Come in.

[ Chuckles ] I just had a very interesting little chat with felicia. Seems that there’s more going on that you haven’t told me about. She’s right. There is. And you deserve an answer. Starting… …with this. It’s true. Victor has ethan. Of course he has. But what did you mean that victor has ethan “as well”? Who else has victor captured? It’s his M.O. You can ask drew cain or liesl obrecht. He locked me in his prison at crete. Ah. But who were you thinking of? What is it you’re not telling me, felicia?

Well, I better get going. Um…bye, joss. Josslyn: Bye, drew. Bye. Bye. Well.

[ Door closes ] That’s going good, mom. Um, yeah. Yeah. Can’t keep it from the world forever, though. Yeah. Alright. I’m gonna go shower. Okay. Close call. Sonny was just here. Well, that won’t be a problem anymore. Here’s what I owe you. Plus a bonus for your excellent work. The job’s over. So how soon can you get packed to leave? Are you just afraid that cody’s not gonna be able to handle your illness? You know what’s ahead of me. Years of progressively painful, slow decline. I don’t even want my mother to see it. Why would I want cody dealing with that, a guy I barely know? Okay, but what about the people you know well, people that know you well? They’re gonna worry about you. They’re gonna look for you. They’re gonna be hurt, britt… that they’re not with you by your side during all this. Well, I hope they realize I spared them. Oh, come on. Stop it. You’re not trying to spare anybody. You’re trying to spare yourself. Excuse me? Y-you don’t want to see your reflection in their eyes of anyone other than you being your vibrant, beautiful, feisty self. So what if I don’t? Is that so wrong? No, it’s not wrong. But it’s selfish. So that’s why holly let me go. Well, you were never in any risk. Hah! Well, it would have been nice if I knew that, wouldn’t it? You couldn’t let me in on any of it? Holly was petrified that any leak at all would endanger her son. Okay. [ Sighs ] Well, look, I’m glad — I’m glad that she didn’t betray you. And she’s now free to rescue ethan. And soon victor will lose another prisoner. Alright. Victor needs to lose everything. Forget I said anything. Lucy’s alive, isn’t she? I never said that. You didn’t have to. My father prefers keeping his assets as leverage. Lucy’s body was never discovered. A reliable source reports that lucy was shot with a rubber bullet retrieved from the harbor and then spirited away. Okay, well, that explains the two shots. The first, a rubber bullet to push lucy into the water, the second, a live round to leave a shell casing for the police. There is no time to waste. I need you to tell me where anna is now.

What does victor want with that? Do you know? Well, he gave her directives, but no explanations. We know the diamonds came from the ice princess. And we know that he doesn’t care about the rest of the stone because he planted it on jennifer smith. There are secrets hidden in these diamonds. We need to uncover them. We have got to stop victor cassadine once and for all. Anna needs to know lucy’s alive. She’s way off the grid. Well, where is she? Has she left the country? I don’t want to jeopardize her security. I don’t, either, but this is information anna needs. You’re gonna have to trust me. If anna sought refuge in europe, there’s one person that will know where she is. This person can get word to her.

[ Paper rips ] Thank you. Don’t thank me yet. Getting word to anna won’t be easy. I don’t know you well, cody. But I can see that you’re not the same man that your father was. Yeah. About that. Um… hi, cody. Mac, you ready to go? Yeah. Almost. Uh, you were saying? I was just gonna say that… that dna test result was my loss. Ours too. Ouch. What is this? Painful truth day? Yeah, sure. Why not? Let’s do that. Okay. Um, yeah, maybe “selfish” is too harsh of a word. Let’s just call it “proud.” Okay? My father was a very proud man, and he wanted to spare us, so he avoided a lot of conversations that he really should have had with us. And then in the end, the copd made those kind of conversations impossible. So I-I get that you’re trying to spare us, but… have you considered that you might be robbing all of us of precious moments that we really want to spend with you? No, I hadn’T. Okay, well, you’ll want to give that some thought. Oh, and another thing. While we’re at it, britt… what is the dress code for this party that you’re planning?

[ Chuckles ] Just have maxie pick out your clothes. Oh. Oh, oh, oh. I see. Okay. Cool. Right. I guess it really — yeah, you’re right. So it’s painful truth day. Um, thank you so much. It means a lot to me. You said that you’re only inviting your nearest and dearest, and I’m really grateful that I made the cut. See you later. Hi. Hi. Oh, no. I woke you up. I’m so sorry.

[ Chuckles ] This — this baby is active. Wears me out. Yeah. You do look a little pale. I — anemia. Britt has me on a regimen. Okay. What’s up? So, I just wanted to check in. I just want to make sure that you’re 100% committed to finding your biological parents. More than ever. Has there been a development? Possibly, and you should know that whatever I find out, it — it could actually be disappointing. So before I go down that road, I just want to make sure nothing’s changed. Michael and I want to do whatever it takes to find answers.

[ Cellphone rings ] Hey, there. I was just thinking about you. Remember how we used to reward ourselves when we completed payroll? Chocolate martinis.

[ Chuckles ] It is not the same without you, partner. What’s up? I need a favor. No questions asked. You got it. There’s a woman named denise makenzie staying at the metro court tonight. I need you to notify me the second she checks in. Michael: You got shot because of sonny, okay? You got tortured because of him. Yeah, and I’m still standing. Look, I appreciate your commitment. I do. But my priorities have shifted. I need to focus on my family. No. Your family overlaps with sonny’S. As long as he’s a target, they are, too. Isn’t that what you told me when you hired me? Yes, but things have changed. Look, the best way to protect them is to stop him. Sonny was here telling me about a new business opportunity. It sounds highly profitable and highly illegal. Something big is coming, michael. Sonny didn’t provide details about what’s next, but I know one thing. We can’t quit now. Not when you are this close to taking sonny down.

This is a typical holiday movie, but I most enjoyed seeing Rebecca Budig in it (even though it’s a fairly small part) and being able to chat with her. It airs Sunday, 12/4 on CBS.

Here is the transcript of our interview:

CBS 2022 HOLIDAY PROGRAMMING PANELS

FIT FOR CHRISTMAS

Amanda Kloots, Executive Producer/Star

 Paul Greene

Rebecca Budig

Jessica Harmon, Director/Executive Producer

Anna White, Executive Producer/Writer

Virtual via Zoom

November 03, 2022

NOELLE LLEWELLYN:  Hi, everyone.  I’m back.  I’m Noelle Llewellyn.  And on behalf of myself and my counterpart, Erin Freilich, we’d like to welcome you to our final panel of the day for our CBS original movie, “Fit for Christmas.”

Amanda Kloots, cohost of our Emmy-award-winning daytime talk show, “The Talk,” wears many Christmas hats for this film, both in front of and behind the camera.  In addition to starring as Audrey, Amanda developed the movie, cowrote the film concept, and serves as an executive producer of the film.  “Fit for Christmas” premieres Sunday, December 4th, on CBS and will be available to stream live and on demand on PARAMOUNT+.

“Fit for Christmas” follows Audrey, an enthusiastic, Christmas‑obsessed fitness instructor teaching classes at her beloved, financially beleaguered community center in quaint Mistletoe, Montana.  Audrey begins a holiday romance with a charming mysterious businessman, which complicates his plans to turn the center into a more profitable resort property.  That’s what I call a Christmas conundrum.  Sorry.  Had to do it.

I would like to welcome our panelists today, Amanda Kloots; Paul Green, who plays Griffin; Rebecca Budig, who plays Lisa; our movie screenwriter and executive producer, Anna White; and our movie director and executive producer, Jessica Harmon.

Before I have Amanda kick things off with a few opening remarks, just a reminder that, if you have a question, please raise your hand in the chat feature and I will call on you by your screen name when it is your turn.  Now over to Amanda, who would like to say a few words.

AMANDA KLOOTS:  There we go.  Thanks, Noelle.  By the way, Noelle, I need that sweater.  That’s amazing.  You look incredible.

NOELLE LLEWELLYN:  Done.  In the Amazon cart.

AMANDA KLOOTS:  I just want to thank everyone for being here today.  I want to thank my incredible cast and Anna and our director, Jessica.  This has been an absolute dream come true for me.  I can’t still believe that it happened.  And it was a lot of fun to film.  And I’m so excited for everybody to see it.  Thank you for watching and thank you for being here.  And let’s get this ball rolling.

NOELLE LLEWELLYN:  Okay.  Let’s hop right in.

QUESTION:  Thank you, Noelle.  I’ve got two for Amanda.  Hi, Amanda.  Hi, everybody.

AMANDA KLOOTS:  Hi.

QUESTION:  Hi.  First of all, I know when you talked about this first on “The Talk,” I think it was in early fall, so can I assume that you filmed this during a break from “The Talk,” during a hiatus during the summer?

AMANDA KLOOTS:  That is correct, Jay.  We went on hiatus in August, and I pretty much flew a couple days later off to Vancouver to shoot the film on my hiatus, finished the movie, came back, and started Season 13 of “The Talk.”  No rest.

QUESTION:  For the weary.  Sure.

The other question, I spoke with somebody else who wrote a movie they starred in recently for the holidays.  It’s one thing to star in a holiday movie, but to see characters and perhaps dialogue ‑‑ I know you cowrote it with Anna, but to see words and characters come to life that you developed, not only for yourself but other actors, can you talk about that feeling, being on set and observing that?

AMANDA KLOOTS:  Absolutely.  I didn’t cowrite the movie.  Anna is the writer of the movie, Anna White.  I co-created the idea and, you know, definitely helped, you know, conceptualize the entire movie, right up until we were filming.  And it was amazing.  I have to tell you there was a day on set ‑‑ I’ll never forget it ‑‑ it was ‑‑ we were filming at the Mistletoe Inn.  And I just ‑‑ it was so perfectly Christmas.  And I looked around and I just ‑‑ I couldn’t believe it was happening.  I literally pinched myself because I remember being in my bed in July of 2020 thinking of this idea at 3:00 a.m. in the morning and then having it come to life, and it was just so beautiful.  The set that day where we were filming, it was so gorgeous.  And I think it was like right in the middle of filming, so the cast had really bonded, and we were all just, like, really gelling that day.  And it just felt like magic, literal Christmas magic.

QUESTION:  Thank you.  Anna, sorry about that misstep about the writing.  I’m sorry about that.

QUESTION:  Amanda, this is for you.  When you were dancing on Broadway, did you say, “Oh, I want to be a producer some day and I want to star in a show that I’ve influenced”?  Or was that just ‑‑ was it just in an evolution?  And where did “The Talk” play in all of that evolution?

AMANDA KLOOTS:  Oh, my gosh.  It was a complete evolution, Bruce.  I can’t believe what I’m doing right now.  I think ‑‑ when I look at my life and how much has changed, especially in the last three years, I mean, just ‑‑ I moved to LA three years ago, and I ‑‑ my sole job was my fitness business.  And since then, in those three years, even just since joining “The Talk,” my life has completely changed.

And I can’t believe what I get to do now.  I can’t believe that, you know, CBS, they were so generous in taking a chance on me and this concept and allowing this to come to fruition.  I’m so entirely grateful to them for doing this with me and having faith that I can act and that I can executive produce and create something.  It’s amazing.  I just am constantly, I think, blown away by the idea of how life can change and how it can change so quickly and how dreams can come true.

QUESTION:  That’s great.  Thanks so much.

AMANDA KLOOTS:  Yeah.

QUESTION:  Hi, everybody.  This is for Amanda as well, and then I have a question for Paul.  Amanda, what was it like working with Anna White?  Can you talk about that?

AMANDA KLOOTS:  Yes.  I feel like I have met my creative soulmate with Anna White.  I could not feel like a luckier human being.  She is just the brightest light.  She is so funny, consistently creative, and on top of every idea and pun and concept.  We met through a friend, a new friend of mine and an acquaintance of hers.  Thank God this woman put us together.  And ever since we chatted on the phone ‑‑ I think it was October in 2020 ‑‑ and I told her of this idea, we ‑‑ I just knew.  It was like stars aligned.  And I hope there’s so much more to come from us, because we’ve got a lot of ideas in the bank.  And I just ‑‑ I love working with her.

QUESTION:  (Inaudible) films that you’ve starred in?  Can you talk about that?

NOELLE LLEWELLYN:  You’re a little hard to hear.  Do you want to repeat yourself?

QUESTION:  Yes.  Sorry about that.  I was just asking Paul, how (inaudible) starred in?

NOELLE LLEWELLYN:  We’re still having trouble hearing you.  I think you’re asking ‑‑ I think you’re asking Paul how did this film “Fit for Christmas” differ from the other holiday films he starred in.  Does that sound accurate?

QUESTION:  Correct.  Yes.

NOELLE LLEWELLYN:  Perfect.  Paul?

PAUL GREENE:  Awesome.  Well, thanks.  So it was super ‑‑ it was so unique because I’ve worked with Anna before on a movie prior, and that was a really great experience, and there’s a lot of serendipity with Anna, and I going 20 years back.  It’s a long story and a good one.

And then ‑‑ but what made this so different is, you know, working with Amanda in this way, knowing that this was her first experience like this, that it just had this crackling newness and possibility to it that was really unique.  There was ‑‑ it was very improvian, in the moment, and spontaneous and exciting.

And then just, you know, immediately, there was this chemistry and friendship between us ‑‑ all of us actors, really, and especially between Amanda and myself, like from the first minute.  We were just like long lost friends.  And that translated really quickly into a feeling of having each other’s back in the scenes and improvising and ‑‑ which Anna loved when we improvised.

(Laughter.)

And, yeah.  It was ‑‑ and what’s unique, too, is having our writer on set, which is the first time I’ve had a writer on one of these Christmas movies, or even a romantic comedy like this, be on set from front all the way through, which was really unique and special, because we went to her with all these really nuanced questions about character and where we were headed and arc, and it was ‑‑ yeah, it was cool.

And for me, it’s special because it’s my first of these with CBS.  And so there was a lot of excitement and a lot of trust and a lot of newness to it that made it just super fun.

QUESTION:  Yes, hi.  My question is for Rebecca.  I’m a big fan of yours from “All My Children” and “General Hospital.”  This is the first Christmas movie you’ve been in, right?  And is there anything that surprised you about it?

REBECCA BUDIG:  Thank you so much.  That’s really sweet of you.  Yes, it is the first Christmas movie I’ve done.  And I would say ‑‑ I mean, I’ve shot in all different kind of situations, but definitely shooting with, you know, heavy sweaters and coats in 100 degree heat wasn’t that fun.  But actually being with this group of people, it ‑‑ to what Paul said, it really was kind of a magical grouping of people.  And I felt like I was in an episode of “Three’s Company” a lot of the time.  But it was a lot of fun.  It was a lot of fun.

QUESTION:  Thank you so much.

QUESTION:  Hey, thank you very much for speaking to us.  I have two questions.  I’m wondering, first, how long did it take to shoot the movie?  And secondly, for any of the actors, I’m wondering ‑‑ I always love to ask this question:  When the show ‑‑ when the movie will air, will you actually sit down and watch it?  And when ‑‑ if you do, can you actually enjoy watching it?  Or do you watch to review yourself?  Anybody.

(Laughter.)

REBECCA BUDIG:  Well, I ‑‑

QUESTION:  Nobody likes to answer that question, ever.

PAUL GREENE:  Ladies first.

AMANDA KLOOTS:  You know, I’ll say to your second question, Mark, that because I’m an executive producer on this film, I’ve already watched a lot of ‑‑ a lot of the cuts.  So I do feel like that day, on December 4th, and watching it ‑‑ we are all going to watch it together, actually, except for Paul because he’ll be away.  But we’re all going to watch it together.  I do think that I’ll be able to watch it on the 4th and finally put, like, my producer hat off and just watch it and enjoy it.  And I plan to live tweet that night as well and just really celebrate the premiere of the movie and all the hard work that we all did.

REBECCA BUDIG:  I will say, like, my first run‑through, I’m always looking at it, you know ‑‑ at myself with a critical eye.  But like Amanda said, like, I think on the 4th when we’re all watching it together, it will just be just really fun and to relive those moments.

QUESTION:  Paul?  Your thoughts?

PAUL GREENE:  This took us about 15 filming days, I’d say.  Right?  Crazy enough, that is the average for these romantic comedies that happen, these holiday movies, and a lot of the kind of seasonal movies that you see.  15 ‑‑ 14 or 15 shooting days.  I know.  There’s some long weeks and long days, especially for number one on the call sheet and sometimes number two as well.

And for me, I love to watch them.  Like, I ‑‑ I haven’t seen this yet.  And so I ‑‑ I sometimes try to watch just little pieces and ‑‑ but never the whole thing so that it’s a good surprise.  And so I’m looking forward to watching it, yeah.  I don’t have ‑‑ I don’t have too much of a hard time watching it.  It makes me ‑‑ I get so excited about ‑‑ you know, I love the nostalgic feeling of Christmas movies.  And then just that I’ve been a part of a lot of them and got a chance to do it and get to do that for my job and knowing that so many people are at home and they’re getting so much out of it, it’s a great feeling.

QUESTION:  Thank you.

NOELLE LLEWELLYN:  And I actually have a question for Jessica, our movie director, Jessica Harmon.  Jessica, you work in front of and behind the camera.  You are a movie director for this, but you also act.  And I’m just wondering, is ‑‑ do you prefer one over the other now?  Do you want to continue to do both indefinitely?  It was just ‑‑ it’s so great to see that you work, you know, in front of and behind the camera and was just curious about that process for you and how that works just for yourself and for your own ‑‑ for your process.

JESSICA HARMON:  Well, thanks for the question, Noelle.  I’m just only obsessed with your outfit and the whole look right now.  It’s kind of awesome.  People are answering questions, and I’m just watching Noelle like I’m loving this.

Do I have one over the other?  Yeah, directing, because I think directing is so incredibly exhausting that I can’t put myself in front of a camera anymore.  So it’s ‑‑ for me, I think, you know, I was an actor for 25 years, and it was wonderful and I loved it, but I found, personally, my favorite thing was when I started directing, to kind of come in and have these ideas and work with the crew, who I love.  And the crew on this film should get a pretty solid shoutout because, you know, it’s really difficult, like Paul was saying, for everyone to do a film in 15 days and in that heat that these poor actors had to sit in.  It was ‑‑ you know, in Canada, it was 30‑something degrees, which in Fahrenheit is a whole other situation.  But it’s hot, for you Americans listening.  It’s a lot.  And the crew, you know, puts their all into this.  And this film, this cast, and this crew all kind of came together like lightning in a bottle, and it was amazing.

And there’s something that happens when you spend the time directing and you have a vision and you’re working with people like Anna and, you know, people like Amanda who come in with this incredible idea and this incredible vision themselves and they trust you to kind of take it and go forward with it.  And then so many people get involved, but at the end of the day, when all of that work kind of comes together and you’re speaking to the actors on set, and they come in and they do something and it’s wonderful, and you kind of come in and you collaborate together, and you step back and you watch it, there’s a feeling that is so special to me as a director now that when I get to watch fellow actors light up the screen, especially in the way that this cast did ‑‑ and no offense to my other casts ‑‑ but that this cast, the chemistry that these people had with one another, and the work that they put into this, and what they brought to ‑‑ the emotion that they brought to these characters, it’s so much more than just kind of a sweet rom‑com, you know, holiday movie.  We’ve all seen these movies be made before, but watching these people just explode on camera and the chemistry that they had with each other and bringing these characters to life, it’s like ‑‑ it genuinely brings emotion to me that I don’t ‑‑ I couldn’t even pull myself as an actor.

So when it comes to one or the other, I have to side with directing because I just love working with actors, and I love working with actors like this.  And these guys just light this movie up.  It was a wonderful script to begin with, but it’s ‑‑ what they’ve done and what I hope the audience ‑‑ you know, what I know the audience will see from them is it’s explosive.  Like, the chemistry between all of them is incredible.  But you look at Griffin and Audrey’s storyline and where they begin and where they end, every day on set I was shocked by them, because I just ‑‑ I didn’t see them bringing the characters that they brought.  I saw Griffin played a different way in my mind.  I saw Audrey a little bit different in my mind, and they showed up and they surprised me every single scene.  And it was just ‑‑ it was a wonderful, wonderful thing to watch.

So directing wins, but…

NOELLE LLEWELLYN:  No.  Thank you for that.  We will miss you in front of the camera, but we understand and we appreciate your work.  And the chemistry does feel very special for the film, so thank you.

QUESTION:  This is for Rebecca.  This movie, like a lot of movies, a lot of the Christmas movies, makes it feel that a small town, growing up in a small town, living in a small town, you’re very lucky.  I sympathize with that.  I’m from a small town myself.  But on the other hand, you got to go to, like, the Cincinnati School of Performing Arts.  And if it hadn’t been for ‑‑ you know, if you hadn’t been in a city, you wouldn’t have been able to do that.  A million people from that school went on to become really successful.  So when you look at the what’s good or bad about growing up in a small town or a big city, how do you look at it?

REBECCA BUDIG:  Yeah.  You make a good point, Mike.  Because, you know, when you’re in a bigger city, you’re exposed to a lot more opportunities, and there’s maybe a lot more culture and things to experience.  But I also really, really, really ‑‑ especially as I get older ‑‑ really appreciate a small town and what that has to offer, because that’s ‑‑ it offers a lot more heart sometimes, a lot more familiarity, and that’s what I think this movie brings, like, warmth to it, because everyone’s connected.  You’re more connected with other people.  I think in big urban towns, in cities, you get a little disconnected, even though you have your friends and things, but you don’t get to really, like ‑‑ things don’t matter as much as they do in a small town, and that’s what I think this movie brings to it, you know, like, things that matter.

QUESTION:  Okay.  Cool.  Thanks.

NOELLE LLEWELLYN:  Next, I just have a question for Anna White, our movie writer.  Anna, I’m very curious, what was the process like for you working with Amanda and really shepherding this concept and this idea that she had and bringing that to the screen and writing the script?  Can you tell us a little bit about that?

ANNA WHITE:  Yeah.  I’d love to.  It was ‑‑ it was great.  Because, actually, I followed Amanda’s story and, like, I ‑‑ my heart went out to her.  And then when our mutual acquaintance said, “Hey, Amanda has a great idea for a Christmas movie.  She needs a writer,” and we had our first, like, FaceTime and just, like, everything clicked. I thought it was a great idea because we hadn’t seen a fitness instructor Christmas movie yet.  And if anyone was going to do it, it was going to be Amanda Kloots.

And so I just ‑‑ yeah, honestly, from there, we kind of went back and forth.  We came up with a longer synopsis.  We pitched it to CBS I think that December.  And then kind of just worked on it and wrote.  And every draft of the outline, every draft of the script, Amanda ‑‑ I’d send to her first, she’d give her notes, and then we both would be on the notes calls with CBS. So that way, anything that came up that they wanted to change, like, Amanda and I can bounce ideas off of each other.  And Amanda is so creative and thinks outside the box in such great ways, and she knows ‑‑ I mean, like, my workout is walking to Starbucks every day. So Amanda was able to work in a lot more of the “this is the fitness lingo,” and ‑‑ for, like, the fitness scenes and stuff like that, which was very helpful because, you know, I couldn’t write what I know ‑‑ I did her class in Vancouver, though, and let me tell you, I need to work on my endurance.

But the point being, it was great having Amanda there as a partner the entire time.  And, you know, any time ‑‑ like if a note was frustrating, I’d be like, “Isn’t this note crazy?”  And she’d be like, “Yeah, this note is crazy.”  And then we’d figure out how to do it better together.  So that was really cool.

And then seeing her come alive on scene as the character was just ‑‑ I’m so glad I got to be part of it and see it.  You will not believe that this is her first scripted movie/television role.  When you watch it, she was a natural.  She went like that.  She was so present.  I just like ‑‑ I can’t wait for everyone to see ‑‑ I mean, no one’s surprised she has all these talents, but I’m excited for everyone to see her acting chops.

NOELLE LLEWELLYN:  Thank you, Anna.  And that is a great callout regarding this being a first for Amanda in many, many ways, which makes this such a special story around the movie overall, but thank you.  And I, too, will not be fit for Christmas.  I might be fit for Easter.  We will see.

(Laughter.)

Thank you.  That’s all of our time for today, so I think I’m going to throw to Jessica, our movie director and one of our EPs, just to make some final remarks and give us some final thoughts.

JESSICA HARMON:  No pressure or anything.  Thank you, Noelle,  amazing panel, everyone.  It was good to see everyone again.

I kind of touched on this with answering your question earlier, but having done this for ‑‑ not this specifically, but having been in the film industry for 27 years, I can honestly say that, you know, I love my job, I love being on set, but it’s not always the easiest thing to pull off.  And I think Christmas isn’t always the easiest thing for everybody.  Holidays aren’t the easiest time for a lot of people.  And I know for Amanda, this movie was, you know, borne out of a very difficult time in her life and grief, and what she’s done with that is an incredible thing that the world has watched and seen.  And I know every single person on this cast and every single person watching has also had difficult times in their lives.  And this film, for me, I was going through something difficult prior to it, and it was such a wonderful, wonderful experience to make this movie.  And I really, really do believe that the performances that these people gave really came from the heart.  And I think the audience is going to recognize that and see that.

And, you know, Christmas isn’t always the easiest time for people.  And I really do just hope that this movie coming from a group of people that has all had hardships and has all been through difficult times in their own lives and brought beautiful emotions to this story, I really hope that that translates for people.  And in my opinion ‑‑ and I’m likely biased, but in my opinion, it really did.  And anyone that I’ve shown the film to agrees that there’s just something really incredibly joyous about this.

And I think that, you know, sitting around at Christmas with your family, this is a wonderful movie to watch.  Because if you’re in a great mood, it’s going to keep that great mood going; and if you’re feeling a little down, it’s something that you can watch and it’s going to elevate you because it’s just ‑‑ it’s a group of really, really talented, wonderful people who really put their all into it.  And I think it’s something that everyone here can certainly be proud of.  And anybody that worked on the film I know is very proud of it.  And I just can’t wait for everybody to watch it and love it the way we love it.

So just thank you.  And I’m just proud to be a part of this film.  And seeing all these faces again ‑‑ I’m in Bulgaria shooting a movie right now.  And seeing their faces, I’m like — I just feel happy.  I think people are going to be happy to watch.  So thank you.

NOELLE LLEWELLYN:  Thank you for that.  And, you know, that’s such a powerful message of triumph and hope and, you know, something that we all ‑‑ a lot of people do need at the holidays.  So thank you for pointing that out.

And thank you all for being a part of what is an incredibly fun film.  And we are very much looking forward to it.  So thank you to our panelists today.  We appreciate you.

And everyone, this concludes our CBS holiday collection press junket.  I will be immortalized in your mind for the next year in this sweater.  Do I regret it?  No.  We thank you for joining us, and we wish you all a very, very happy holiday season.

CBS announced today that it has ordered three new original holiday movies to air in December 2022.

Award-winning singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow will executive produce and write the title song for WHEN CHRISTMAS WAS YOUNG, a Nashville music-themed movie from a script by screenwriter and bestselling novelist Robert Tate Miller (“Hope at Christmas,” Forever Christmas). The story follows a headstrong music manager in desperate need of a hit song for his last remaining client, who finds himself falling for a gifted singer-songwriter with abandoned dreams of making it big, as he attempts to secure the rights to a Christmas song she wrote years ago.

In it, a renowned romance novelist famous for her Christmas-themed books finds herself snowbound in the charming town of Cranberry Falls, where she unexpectedly becomes involved in a love triangle between her childhood crush and a reporter determined to interview her to save his dying magazine. The movie will be produced by Brad Krevoy’s Motion Picture Corporation of America.

In December 2021, the CBS Original movies “Christmas Takes Flight” and “A Christmas Proposal” were the first original holiday television movies to air on CBS since 2012, and the newest additions to CBS’ longstanding holiday programming slate, which includes family-favorites like The Thanksgiving Day Parade on CBS and the annual broadcasts of beloved animated classics, including “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “Frosty the Snowman.”

Keshia Knight Pulliam, Brad James, Tim Reid and Angela Tucker of "A New Orleans Noel" on Lifetime

Interview with Keshia Knight Pulliam, Brad James, Tim Reid and Angela Tucker of “A New Orleans Noel” on Lifetime by Suzanne 11/7/22

This was a fun panel with these actors for a really nice holiday movie. The movie is set in New Orleans, of course, and the character of Loretta, played by Patti LaBelle, is based on a real person, Loretta Brown, who started the successful business Loretta’s Authentic Pralines. She was the first black woman to start a confectionery company in New Orleans. She passed away earlier this year.  Keshia Knight Pulliam, whom you may remember as Rudy from “The Cosby Show,” or her many other series and movies, stars as an architect, and her real-life husband Brad James plays a competing architect, former school rival and, of course, love interest in this rom-com Christmas movie. The legendary Tim Reid plays Loretta’s flame Marcel. It was fun to speak with them, along with writer/director Angela Tucker. Just be prepared to have your mouth water when you watch this movie! Pralines are delicious, and Lifetime kindly sent us a holiday gift basket that included some of Loretta’s yummy pralines. I was inspired to make some of my own this Christmas as well (although they’re not nearly as good).

Enjoy the video interview!

Grace Hill (Keshia Knight Pulliam) and Anthony Brown (Brad James) could not be more different. Despite having gone to college to study architecture together, their lives took them on completely separate paths. However, when they’re both hired to work together on the home of Loretta Brown (Patti LaBelle)—a New Orleans praline icon —the two find themselves working together at Christmas…and butting heads over more than just architecture. When Anthony and his family discover that Grace will be celebrating Christmas alone, they invite her to take part in their traditions and their celebrations. Soon, fiercely independent Grace begins to learn the importance of family and community, while modern Anthony learns to embrace tradition and the magic of Christmas. But when Grace is offered a new job far away from New Orleans she’ll have to decide if she’ll leave, or follow her heart.

Tim Reid stars as Marcel Lirette, a handsome, retired friend who moves back to town after years away and catches the eye of Lorretta.

A New Orleans Noel is produced by Evergreen Films with Daniel Lewis, Rick Carter, Whoopi Goldberg, Tom Leonardis and Keshia Knight Pulliam serving as Executive Producers. Script by Angela Tucker and Alys Murray and directed by Angela Tucker.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Tucker: Hey, devon. It’s me. Just got to crimson lights. Just confirming that we’re gonna meet here in — well, very soon. I’ll see you soon. Bye.

[ Chuckles ] Wow. Are you still here? I figured you’d be long gone by now.

Diane: Mm. You figured wrong. I’m not going anywhere, despite your best efforts.

Tucker: And you’re not concerned about jeremy stark tracking you down?

Diane: I don’t scare easily.

Tucker: Brave talk.

Diane: I mean it.

Tucker: Oh, diane. We both know what he’s capable of. The man has had six long years in federal prison to think about things — like how his former accomplice is walking around scot-free, never faced any charges, and now she’s re-inventing herself.

Diane: For the last time, I didn’t turn him in.

Tucker: I don’t know why you’re telling me. I’m not the one you have to convince.

Diane: Well, I’m not alone in this. Jack and kyle have vowed to stand by me.

Tucker: Then, with all due respect to jack and kyle, they have no idea what they’d be in for.

Phyllis: It’s done. It’s done.

[ Door closes ]

Ashley: What’s done?

Phyllis: I spoke to stark anonymously.

Nikki: I can’t believe you reached out to a dangerous criminal like that.

Ashley: You do realize that your number is on his phone, right? And he could track you down.

Phyllis: I’m not a neophyte. I used a burner phone.

Ashley: Good. That should help.

Phyllis: Ashley, I don’t criticize your ability to make a perfume. Please respect my expertise.

Ashley: How about you show a little respect and discuss this with us before you run off and go contacting stark? We’re supposed to be a team, phyllis.

Phyllis: I know that, but i didn’t want to sit here and discuss for an hour the merits of using the greatest weapon in our arsenal. Besides, I’m getting — I’m getting the feeling that the two of you have an aversion to risk.

Nikki: Oh, really? I flew to los angeles to go toe to toe with deacon sharpe.

Ashley: And I’m still stringing tucker along, trying to get information. So, there’s that.

Phyllis: Oh, okay. I stand corrected. You’re both in communication with your exes.

Ashley: The point is, stark is an unknown commodity. And you think you made some bold move? You know what I think? I think you did a stupid mistake.

Nikki: What exactly did you say to him?

Phyllis: I told him that i knew he was released from prison and that it was diane who made a deal with the feds that got him arrested in the first place.

Nick: Hey, sally, open up!E!

Sally: Yeah. Thank you for your time.

[ Sighs heavily ]

Adam: Still here, I see.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Wow. Your eyesight is 20/20.

Adam: How, uh — how did your lunch go with nick?

Sally: It was terrific. Thank you for asking. We grabbed a bite, nick went back to the office, and I stayed here, where it’s quiet, to work on my new business concept.

Adam: So, everything’s good then?

Sally: What is with all the questions? Yes, I’m fine. I’m fine. I’m making exploratory calls. I’m percolating ideas. I’m — I’m — I’m setting my life on a fresh trajectory, you know? Or trying to, anyway.

[ Sighs ] Oh, my god. Who am I kidding? No. No. No. I’m not fine, okay? I’m the opposite of fine. And tonight’s winning numbers are 18,

Adam: I’m not sure what brought on that little outburst, but I’m sure that I deserve it, whatever the cause.

Sally: “Whatever the cause”? You, adam. You are the cause. I mean, after that ridiculous profession of love? Do you recognize how embarrassed I was? After all of the rotten things that you’ve done, that was the capper. I mean, as if you haven’t tortured me enough.

Adam: Torture, sally? Come on. That’s a bit strong.

Sally: Mm. On the contrary. I think it’s actually not strong enough. First getting me to fall for you, then pushing me away, and then lying to me about all of it, and now this?

Adam: I explained to you why I pretended to fall out of love with you. And I said I was sorry for that. But for the rest, I’m not gonna apologize for.

Sally: No, because far be it for you to feel any remorse for messing with someone’s head.

Adam: That’s not what I’m doing. At least, not deliberately.

Sally: Oh, no?

Adam: I had to say what i feel. I had to propose because I can’t just walk away, sally. I swear to you, I was not trying to manipulate you or compete with nick.

Sally: I know. Okay? I just — I just accused you of those things because I thought maybe i could ignore it if they were true. But everything that you said, it just keeps racing around in my head. It’s bouncing off of my skull, and I-I just — I can’t think about anything else, okay? I just am all jumbled up inside. I can’t concentrate. I-I cannot shake the way that it made me feel. I cannot shake the way that you make me feel. What are you smiling about?

Adam: I was right, wasn’t I? I mean, you know that we should be together.

Diane: [ Sighs ] I have told jack and kyle everything about my relationship with jeremy. They know exactly what kind of man he is, and yet they have promised to protect me if it comes to that.

Tucker: Then they’re both fools.

Diane: Oh, really? So, what does that make you, hiding behind ashley and the ladies?

Tucker: Is that what you think I’m doing?

Diane: Uh-huh. You fed them information about my past mistakes. You painted me in the worst possible light. And now you’re letting them do your dirty work, threatening to sic jeremy on me, hoping to chase me out of town, all because I didn’t give you what you wanted. I couldn’t give it to you. Tucker, I never had access to any of the financial information about jabot that you were after.

Tucker: You are a very resourceful woman. You could have found a way if you really wanted to.

Diane: You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Tucker: Ah. I know this much — you lied to me. And you told me what you thought I wanted to hear, but you never really had any intention of fulfilling your end of the deal, did you? So [Clicks tongue] Consequences.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] You are like a really rich toddler throwing a tantrum. But I’m not giving in.

Tucker: Yeah, so you keep insisting.

Diane: I am stronger than you think. And besides that, I finally have what I wanted for so long. My son is in my life. Not to mention I have a place in my grandson’s life. So don’t get your hopes up — or ashley’s — because I’m not going to run.

Tucker: Even if it means putting those people that you claim to love at serious risk?

Ashley: Could you please give us some details on stark? What did you find?

Nikki: How did he respond when a woman he has never heard of calls him out of the blue, seems to know everything about him?

Phyllis: He was very kind.

Ashley: Oh, really?

Phyllis: Yes. Yes. Uh, he talked about being released. I told him I knew he was. And, um, he used words and phrases like, uh, “rehabilitation” and incorporating himself into society, blah, blah, blah.

Nikki: In case it was a setup.

Phyllis: Yes, that’s what i was thinking. And then guess what he asked about. Diane jenkins. He wanted to know how his old pal diane jenkins was and where she was. And you know what I did? I told him where that bitch was. I told him that she was right here in genoa city.

[ Exhales heavily ] What’s going on? You don’t seem happy.

Ashley: Well, that’s because before you showed up here, nikki and I were discussing this. We’re having serious doubts that this is the right route to take.

Phyllis: Don’t you think it’s a little too late for that? I love what downy does for my sheets and towels.

Phyllis: Um, are you serious right now? Do you know the great lengths that I have gone to, to make this happen? Do I need to remind you guys the great lengths that you have gone to, to get this bitch out of town?! I mean, we’ve uncovered lie after lie, and nothing has worked! She is still here!

[ Breathing heavily ] I mean, she has entrenched herself into your family, ashley. Day by day, she has manipulated every single member of your family except for you, playing on kyle’s emotions of losing his mom, using that little grandbaby of hers to support her reformed act. And don’t even get me started on jack. I don’t even know who that man is anymore.

[ Exhales heavily ] Listen. We wanted to use stark to put the fear of god into her, and she called our bluff, alright? So now this bitch thinks she has supporters and she thinks there’s nothing we can do to get her bags packing.

Nikki: I’m starting to think there isn’T.

Phyllis: Oh, my god. Bite your tongue, nikki. My god!

Ashley: Okay, calm down.

Phyllis: Bite your tongue!

Ashley: Calm down, please. We are gonna get her out of town. I’m just not so sure this is the right way, phyllis.

Phyllis: Okay, okay, listen. Let’s — I need take a second here. And I’m calm. I’m fine. I’m fine. But she is controlling the narrative, guys. She’s controlling it. At least, she is with your family. The whole thing of, “I’m the victim, I’m the victim. It’s me. They’re distorting the facts. I’m not a money launderer. I was forced to do it.” That’s what she’s doing.

Nikki: Phyllis. Phyllis. We hate it, too. But to go to such an extreme, contacting a convicted felon and encouraging him to go after her —

Phyllis: We need to blast that bitch off her perch! We need to blast her off. You don’t do that with words, guys. You do it with dynamite.

Ashley: Unless it turns out to be a dud.

Nikki: We don’t even know if diane turned stark in to the authorities. That is just conjecture right now.

Phyllis: Well, we’re gonna find out soon enough, aren’t we? ‘Cause my guess is he’s on his way to genoa city and he’s gonna confront diane jenkins with her past.

Diane: You’re a real bastard. You know that?

Tucker: Yeah, I know. I really am.

Diane: You put this dangerous information into the hands of three women who hate me so much, they might actually use it.

Tucker: No. I bet money they absolutely will use it.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Tucker: The combination of ashley’s determination and — and nikki’s endless resources and phyllis’ recklessness, I’m sure they’ll come up with some kind of diabolical plan.

Diane: Tucker, this isn’t a game. This is my life.

Tucker: Well, wouldn’t it have been nice had you realized that before and worked a little harder to get me jabot’s financials?

Diane: So, you are just rooting for me to be hurt?

Tucker: No. I just want the woman that i love to achieve whatever goals she wants. And ashley doesn’t want to hurt you, either. She just — [ Chuckles ] She wants you out of here. She wants you to relocate.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Tucker: Frankly, I think it’s a little selfish of you if you don’t, considering how dangerous stark is.

Diane: You have the audacity to claim that I’m the one being selfish, putting others at risk? Oh, no, no, no, tucker. Whatever happens, that’s on you. And I refuse to let you scare me away by proxy.

Tucker: Mm. Okay. I admire your confidence, even if it’s misplaced.

Diane: You know, if you would get over yourself and, uh, let go of your desire to punish me, you would realize that I’m becoming a fixture in the abbotts’ world. I’m in a position to be your ally, not your enemy. Choice is yours.

Tucker: Well, you may have won over jack and kyle, but you’re never gonna convince ashley that you’re some kind of new and improved version of yourself. You’re just gonna drive a wedge between her and jack, that’s all.

Diane: [ Chuckling ] Oh, okay, I get it. Oh, my gosh. It is so obvious what you’re trying to do. You want to separate ashley from her family so you can set yourself up as her port in a storm.

Tucker: Yeah, there it is. There’s that devious mind we all know and love.

Diane: Mm, I’m not the one being devious. I just want to live my life, be a productive citizen, enjoy the time with my family. Is that really so much to ask?

Tucker: Hey, there he is.

Devon: Hey, hey. Hope I’m not interrupting anything.

Tucker: No, not at all.

Devon: Uh, you ready to go meet your grandson?

Tucker: I would love nothing more.

Diane: Ah, what a precious gift, to be able to spend some time with your grandchild.

Tucker: Uh-huh.

Diane: Yeah?

Tucker: Uh, devon, this is diana jenkins.

Diane: Oh, hi. Nice to meet you.

Devon: Hello. Pleasure.

Tucker: Good luck.

Diane: Mm.

Devon: Take care.

Diane: You too.

[ Sighs heavily ]

[ Scoffs ]

[ Cellphone thuds ]

[ Sighs ]

Sally: I am trying to resurrect my career. I don’t want to think about you or the proposal or how any of this makes me feel, okay? Seeing you makes me think about it, and thinking about it upends my day. I just need to be free of this.

Adam: [ Sighs ] I know that I’ve complicated things, sally. That wasn’t my goal. I was hoping that the proposal would cut through the noise and it would simplify your decision, which, alas, wasn’t the case.

Sally: No, it sure as hell wasn’T.

Adam: Look, I know that you have a lot to sort through. It’s been something we’ve always done well together, is get to the heart of what is going on. But I don’t think it’s a conversation we should have here.

Sally: [ Breathes deeply ] You’re right. We can’t keep covering the same ground. This needs to be resolved one way or the other. So let’s do this. (Vo) no matter what type of severe asthma you have,…

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Adam: Look, um, I’m not here to plead my case or tell you how you should feel.

Sally: Good.

Adam: [ Sighs ] I just — I hate that you find it so unsettling just running into me. Look, I’ve said my piece, so it’s your turn to talk. If that’s what you want.

Sally: [ Breathes deeply ] I just never thought talking to you would be this hard. You were always the person i found it…easiest to talk to.

Adam: I’m still that person.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Nick: Hey, dad.

Victor: Hey, son.

Nick: Brought the fourth-quarter projections for you to go over.

Victor: Alright. Thank you.

Nick: Other than the tech industry, which is still dealing with some serious supply-chain issues, the numbers look pretty good across the board.

Victor: Are you talking in terms of profits or revenues or what?

Nick: Numbers are in there, dad. You just got to read the report.

Victor: Alright.

[ Cellphone pings ] Not someone you expected to hear from?

Nick: Uh, it’s just a container I’ve been tracking from hong kong. It finally left only four months late.

Victor: You seem a little off your game, son.

Nick: Do I?

Victor: Doesn’t happen to have anything to do with that spectra woman, does it?

Nick: “That spectra woman.”

Victor: Mm.

Nick: You know how insulting that sounds? It’s as if you don’t know who she is or have spent any time with her or know that she is capable and smart or what a creative, hardworking woman she actually is.

Victor: Mm. Warms the cockles of my heart, son. I know that you and your brother are involved in a triangular relationship with that woman. Not good.

Nick: [ Sighs ]

Tucker: Hey! There he is!

Devon: Alright, you got a visitor, dominic.

Tucker: Hello. Hello, dom.

Devon: Look who we got.

Tucker: [ Laughs ] Hey!

Devon: Look who we got.

Tucker: Ooh.

Devon: Look at him.

Tucker: Hi there.

[ Laughing ] Hi there. Oh, man, he’s beautiful.

Devon: Right?

Tucker: And look at the two of you together. Man, it looks like you’ve done this your whole life.

Devon: Well, it’s felt natural since day one, I’ll tell you that. Dominic, this is your grandfather.

Tucker: Hi.

Devon: His name’s tucker.

Tucker: Hi. Wow, he looks just like you.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Tucker: It makes me really wish that… I had known you as a child.

Phyllis: Okay, listen, guys. The three of us made a pact. We made a pact to do anything necessary, anything possible to get rid of diane. I was forced to do this. And, honestly, she brought it upon herself.

Nikki: We have pointed this dangerous criminal in her direction, hoping that she will do the smart thing and disappear. But she hasn’t folded yet. So, what makes you think she will this time?

Phyllis: The stakes are higher.

Ashley: What if it backfires? This could get ugly so fast.

Phyllis: It won’T.

Ashley: Can I just get a word in, please?

Phyllis: Okay.

Ashley: Hear me out. We don’t know for a fact that stark went to prison because of diane. We don’T. Now, how do you think he’s gonna feel if he finds out this whole thing was a hoax? I don’t think he’s gonna be too happy when he finds out he’s been used.

Nikki: We need to be prepared in case he does decide to come after us.

[ Sighs ] I’m gonna have victor increase security for all of our families. God knows he might want to deal with the guy himself.

Phyllis: You two are really overreacting.

Ashley: No, we’re not, phyllis. Do you really want to risk him getting violent with anyone, including diane? Because I don’T.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Diane: Ashley, we need to talk. Ahh. Well, what do you know? The whole coven is here. You people are relentless. All you care about is your petty desire to screw things up for me.

Phyllis: Oh, diane. You are so wrong. I’m jonathan lawson

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

And no outlets needed.

Phyllis: Oh, diane, there’s nothing petty about our desire to see you pay for what you’ve done to us. Our loathing is certainly deserved.

Diane: The feeling is mutual. Look at the three of you, standing in judgment, acting so superior after you’ve done so much to hurt so many people. The hypocrisy is staggering. You have done your best to turn everyone against me. But it hasn’t worked. In fact, just the opposite. The bonds I have forged with the people who matter to me have only gotten stronger. So, I guess I have you to thank. Well done.

Phyllis: Oh, no. I thank you. I thank you for proving once again that you haven’t changed and showing us who you really are and how you operate.

Ashley: Why are you here?

Nikki: I would imagine that dee dee is using harrison as an excuse to show up and throw herself at jack.

Ashley: Who isn’t here.

Diane: Uh, no worries. He will be soon. Your brother asked me to meet him here. In fact, jack has invited me to dinner, but he had a few things to finish up first, so [Sighs] I’ll just sit here and wait. Carry on.

Nikki: I was just leaving.

Ashley: So was I.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Enjoy yourself.

[ Sighs ]

Nick: Dad, I’m not discussing this with you.

Victor: Son, we have to discuss it, okay? You and your brother have been through this dance before.

Nick: Come on.

Victor: You’re competing with your brother over a woman. Sally spectra. Are you serious? I expect more from you.

Nick: If you don’t want to go over the preliminary numbers, I’ve got a very busy day. I’m sure you do, as well.

Victor: [ Sighs heavily ]

[ Glasses clatter ] Don’t you understand that this is very bad for you, for your personal life, for your family life, for business, for you to be involved in a triangular relationship with your brother, fighting over a woman like sally spectra? Come on, man. You know better than that. She’s driving a wedge between you and your brother to gain what she is after.

Nick: I think you’re wrong about her.

Victor: Look, that woman is using you to further her own ambitions. Now, adam has made his choice. I’m saddened by that. But he has to live his life. With you, that’s different.

Nick: Why, dad? Why would you say that?

Victor: ‘Cause you’ve done a wonderful job at newman enterprises. You’ve joined forces with your sister and your mother. You’re doing a great job.

Nick: What does that have to do with my personal life?

Victor: Everything to do with it.

Sally: What you said to me the other day really got to me. I mean, for you to act that way and say those things, I could tell that they really mattered to you…that i really mattered.

Adam: Look, it breaks my heart that you didn’t realize any of that until now. Because you deserved to know every day that we were together how much you mattered to me before I ruined it. I know you, sally. I know that look. I feel like we’re close to getting back everything that we had…and more. and I’m going to tell you about exciting medicare advantage plans that can provide broad coverage and still may save you money on monthly premiums and prescription drugs.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Tucker: Boy, he’s got excellent, like, fine motor skills.

Devon: I know, right?

Tucker: You know?

Devon: I think he’s a little ahead of the curve.

Tucker: Is he?

Devon: Yeah.

Tucker: Ah, he’s amazing. You just… you look into his eyes, and you can just see his mind working.

Devon: Oh, yeah.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ] He’s just so bright-eyed and alert.

Devon: You’re lucky. You actually came at a good time ’cause he’s always really happy after his nap.

Tucker: Yeah.

Devon: Mm.

Tucker: Wouldn’t you love to just see the world through a kid this age’s eyes…

Devon: Oh, yeah.

Tucker: …At some point?

Devon: I think about it all the time.

[ Dominic burps ]

Tucker: Oh!

Devon: You okay?

Tucker: Yeah!

[ Laughs ] You had something to eat.

Devon: [ Chuckles ] Yeah.

Tucker: Mm.

Tucker: So, tell me about him. What does he — speaking of eating, what does he like? What does he not like?

Devon: Bananas and yogurt. Anything bananas and yogurt, he loves. Anything green, he hates.

[ String plucking ] Yeah, there you go.

Tucker: So, he’s formed some strong opinions.

Devon: Oh, yeah. He’s nothing but opinions at this age.

Tucker: [ Laughs ]

Devon: Morning, noon, and night.

Tucker: Yeah.

Devon: He’s never cranky, though.

Tucker: Really?

Devon: Never cranky. Always in a good mood. He loves music. Loves to dance.

Tucker: I can see.

Devon: Yeah.

Tucker: He likes to dance?

Devon: Loves to dance. Put on some jazz…

Tucker: You like to dance?

Devon: …Or rock.

Dominic: Yes.

Tucker: Yes.

Devon: See?

Tucker: Alright. You got to show me now. So, he’s just like you, basically, right?

Devon: Well, like both of us.

Tucker: Yeah. Man. Katherine would have been just over the moon. Her great grandson. It’s just a miracle.

Devon: I know. I feel her energy all the time around here.

Tucker: Yeah. And I’m — I got to tell you, I’m absolutely blown away by how you and — [Laughs] — And — and chance and abby have kind of teamed together to raise him.

Devon: Yeah.

Tucker: It’s beautiful. And I see you and his mom together. It makes me feel like, you know, the grand experiment has worked.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Tucker: And it seems like you and abby are closer, you know?

Devon: Yeah. No, we’re — we’re really close.

Tucker: Yeah?

Devon: Yeah.

Tucker: Is there something more than that?

Devon: No, not at all. Why would you say that?

Tucker: Well, I just thought I’d picked up on something there for a second. Maybe it was something else.

Devon: I don’t know what.

Tucker: So, how are you? How are things going for you these days? Are you — are you happy, fulfilled, or, uh, feeling spread thin at all with work and parenting both?

Devon: No, no, no, no, not at all. I’m — I’m managing things just fine.

[ String plucking ] You in love?

Nick: I just don’t get this knee-jerk reaction you have towards sally. You know, she’s very shrewd, hardworking, ambitious. I know these are values you all greatly admire. So I just don’t understand this animosity you have towards her. And the way you speak about her, it’s as if she is beneath me.

Victor: I had my people investigate sally spectra’s life in los angeles when she was involved with the spencers and the forresters, okay? And they made up a dossier about her.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] You have a dossier on her? Are you serious? You’re digging up dirt?

Victor: Does that surprise you, son? I’d do anything to protect my family.

Nick: This is outrageous.

Victor: Listen carefully. What we found out is that she feigned a serious terminal illness in order to gain the sympathy of a man that had lost interest in her. She even blackmailed her doctor to corroborate her story.

Nick: Alright, just — just stop, okay?

Victor: She made up her face every morning to look very pale, very frail. She used a walker to increase the effect. You want to know why I have doubts about that woman?

Nick: Alright, I know she’s — [ Sighs ] She’s done some things that are… she’s worked very hard to make some changes in her life, okay? I’ve seen them. And as for her playing me against adam, just so you know, I offered her seed money for her next business venture, and she turned me down flat, dad.

Victor: Ohh.

Nick: It’s like everyone believes they don’t have to give her just some basic commonore to me about them than it does her.

Victor: Son, you’re really involved with her, aren’t you?

Sally: I still feel a connection with you. And love. How could I not? You brought a kind of magic into my life. You believed in me. I mean, you saw the best and the worst of me, and you loved me just the same. And that is why the way that you hurt me was so awful and so hard to forgive.

Adam: I know.

[ Sighs ] And — and — and I wish that there was a way that I could undo it all, but I can’T. All I can do is I can tell you what an idiot I was and what i did was stupid and that I am sorry. Sally, we are so close. I know that we can finally get it right. I know it. Christmas trees try so hard.

Nick: Dad, I’m not gonna try and change your mind about sally. Obviously, it’s a waste of time. But I will say this about her and adam. Adam doesn’t deserve her. If anything, adam’s gonna be the one to bring her down, not the other way around.

Victor: You need to hear what I’m about to tell you. Sally spectra is nothing but a symptom of the rivalry between you and your brother. She’ll be gone one day, forgotten. What remains is a poisoned relationship between you and adam. I’m warning you — if you choose that woman over family, you will live to regret it. I promise you.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Adam: Sally, remember why we’re here — to have an honest conversation about what we have.

Sally: [ Breathes deeply ]

Adam: What we can still have, despite the stupid mistakes that I made, and to talk about what we want. And for me, that hasn’t changed. When I asked you to marry me, I meant it. I still want the same thing. I want you, sally. Only you.

Sally: I want you, too.

[ Both breathing heavily ]

Devon: Ugh. Am I in love? That’s a, uh — that’s a tough question.

Tucker: But wasn’t there a woman, a lawyer or something? The one that led you to think that I was after kay’s inheritance?

Devon: Yeah. Yeah, there was. It’s — it’s a long story, though.

Tucker: I got time.

Devon: That’s alright. Um, we need to get you ready for your meal, right?

Tucker: Okay.

Devon: Want some rice pudding?

Tucker: Rice pudding? Yes, I’d love some.

Devon: [ Laughs ] Two?

Tucker: Make that for two, yeah.

Devon: Make that for two? Alright.

Tucker: I love rice pudding.

Devon: [ Chuckles ] Sure.

Tucker: Okay.

Devon: Sure.

[ Chuckles ]

Tucker: Hey. Hey. I am gonna to be there for you. Whatever you need, whenever you need it, okay?

[ Dominic gurgles ]

Tucker: Just like I wish i had been for your dad.

Dominic: Yeah.

[ Knock on door ]

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ] Jeremy.

Jeremy: Hello, diane. Miss me?

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Summer: How could you put our family in danger? How could you put harrison in the line of fire?

Phyllis: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Summer: You told jeremy stark that he could find diane at the abbott house.

Noah: If it’s an apology you want, it’s yours, wholeheartedly. It’s what you deserve.

Audra: Noah… I want you.

Adam: As much as I really appreciate your help when chelsea was in need, I think it’s time for you to take a big step back.

Billy: I can’t do that.
