TV Interview!

Erica Messer, Joe Mantegna (David Rossi), Kirsten Vangsness (Penelope Garcia), Paget Brewster (Emily Prentiss), A.J. Cook (Jennifer Jareau), Aisha Tyler (Dr. Tara Lewis) and Zach Gilford (Elias Voit) of "Criminal Minds: Evolution" on Paramount+

Interview with Erica Messer, Joe Mantegna, Kirsten Vangsness, Paget Brewster, A.J. Cook, Aisha Tyler and Zach Gilford of “Criminal Minds: Evolution” on Paramount+ by Suzanne 9/21/22

Two months ago, I was on a virtual TCA panel for “Criminal Minds: Evolution” on Paramount+ with all the stars of the show.  The talent in attendance were Erica Messer (Showrunner, Executive Producer & Writer) and stars Joe Mantegna (David Rossi), Kirsten Vangsness (Penelope Garcia), Paget Brewster (Emily Prentiss), A.J. Cook (Jennifer Jareau), Aisha Tyler (Dr. Tara Lewis) and newcomer Zach Gilford (Elias Voit).

The showrunner introduced the panel, thanking us and telling us that the show premieres 11/24 with its first two episodes on Thanksgiving and then new episodes will drop weekly. There are ten episodes in total for the first season, which “explore what our heroes have been up to since February of 2020, which is the last time you saw them, or, as we call it, ‘the before times.'” The team has gotten closer in these tough times. They find that “there’s been a prolific killer on the loose since 2005” (played by Zach Gilford) who became a legend during the pandemic. He concluded, “We’re lucky to have Zach Gilford bring this one-of-a-kind unsub to life and have so many familiar BAU agents back on the show.”

Adam Rodriguez is also in the cast, but he couldn’t make it to the panel because he was directing.

I asked a question regarding what I’ve seen fans post about on social media, “I’ve read that a lot of the fans were really unhappy with the original finale, and I was wondering if that was taken into consideration at all when you restarted the show.” I didn’t ask any particular person to answer, so Messer started and then the actors chimed in. Her opinion was that fans didn’t want the show to end, so she thinks that was the main reason they were unhappy about the finale. She did add that “you can’t please everyone,” but they try to write the characters as honestly as possible and stay true to them, and that’s all they can really do. Tyler said that she thinks some fans are always unhappy about any finale, but she mostly heard from fans about how much they loved the characters (or as she put it, “this family.”). She feels that most of the fans were just mourning the loss of the characters after 15 years, but she heard mostly good feedback. Mantegna then said, “The only ones that should be upset are the ones that were dumb enough to cancel it in the first place.” Everyone laughed nervously after that. Messer said, with a chuckle, “Joe calls it as he sees it.” Then there was more laughter.

Cook admired the way the finale was written because it left things open – that they were still out there fighting crime, which left everyone with hope for the future, and that the show would return. She agrees that it’s hard to please all the fans at once.

The actors talked about how happy they were to be back doing the show. It was a “joyous” occasion when they first met up on Zoom. Messer revealed that they would have just one unsub for the whole season (Gilford’s character). She also told us that the idea of Gilford’s unsub came to her during the pandemic. She started wondering what serial killers would be up to during the pandemic.

The cast was asked whether any of the disturbing stories of the show have given them nightmares. Vangsness confided that they all bothered her, and Tyler said that her husband was worried that he would get nightmares from the show. Mantegna added that this version of the show is going to be much more disturbing. The show’s stories don’t bother him because he knows it’s not real. What bothers him is that the real-life law enforcement have to deal with these type of crimes.

Gilford shared with us that he does get very disturbed by what’s done on the show. His wife asked, “What’s wrong with you?” and he replied, “I was just doing this to people all day. Leave me alone.” Everyone laughed, and then he said, “it gets dark.” Vangsness joked “it gets hard on serial killers” and he repeated that in a joking, self-pitying way, so there was more laughter.

Tyler agreed with Mantegna, saying that she thinks fans find the show satisfying because the criminals are caught in the end by these “intelligent, hard-working, devoted professionals are out there working very hard every day to make the world safer for the rest of us.” She also echoed what he said about the real-life people who do the job.

Cook disclosed that the show delves more into the characters’ personal lives and how they’re affected by the horrible things they have to deal with.

Messer was asked about whether the show will be a lot darker, now that it’s on streaming instead of broadcast TV. She didn’t want to make it too dark because teenagers watch it, but it will have some curse words that they couldn’t say before. She feels that this is normal language that people would use in real life. She teased Mantegna, saying he speaks that way all the time. He agreed with a smile that it wasn’t much of a stretch for him.

They were asked about directing episodes of the show. Mantegna told us that he, Cook, Tyler and Rodriguez have directed some of the episodes (as they had in the past on the original show). He praised Gilford, whom he worked with a lot while directing, “he’s been a great, incredible addition to our show.” Mantegna also mentioned that it takes them 8 days to shoot each episode.

Gilford grew up in Chicago, so he shares that he was a bit star-struck working with Mantegna, whom he considers a legend. He shared a cute story that us non-actors may not appreciate as much. He said, “we’re shooting the scene, and he goes, ‘Okay, and then you’re going to walk over here, and then we’ll cut, and I’ll yell, Cut.’ And I was like, ‘Did you just like line-read your directing?’ He’s like, ‘I’m an actor. I can’t help myself.’ I could not stop laughing, because it was — I’ve never seen a director do that before.” The other actors all laughed, so they must have found it funny, too.

Tyler then complimented Mantegna on his directing and loves it when actors direct because they’re easier for them to work with. Paget added in her two cents, thanking them all for directing because she never wanted to do it.

Messer shared that David Rossi is the character most in crisis when the show begins, and she talked about what a great job Mantegna did with the story. She said that how his character is feeling causes “a ripple effect” that goes through everyone else.

She also told us that two characters from the previous season won’t be returning: Matt Simmons (Daniel Henney) and Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler). However, they are still mentioned – “gone but not forgotten.” That was very disappointing to hear because Reid is my favorite character. Their desks are still there, with things on them. She never said whether they would explain why the characters aren’t back. I guess we’ll have to wait and see!

Tessa: So, what kind of turnout can we expect?

Sharon: Well, it’s been a pretty rough year for a lot of folks, so I would be prepared for a big crowd.

Nick: Don’t worry about the food. New hope’s got you covered there. There’s going to be mounds of it for the guests.

Mariah: Wow, look at that. Ashland locke managed to do some good in this world despite himself.

Sharon: Well, that huge donation he made to new hope in rey’s honor, I will always be grateful for.

Nick: Before we begin with the food prep, um, I come bearing gifts. Christian wanted to contribute, so he made, uh, you know, decorations.

Mariah: That’s adorable.

Nick: Yeah, he wanted to bring them by himself, but he is staying home so he can make thanksgiving cards.

Sharon: Oh, so that’s what noah meant when he said he had to supervise an art project.

Nick: Yeah, they’ll be here later. Except for faith’S. I told her I’d take a picture of hers and make sure she gets it today.

Sharon: Oh, our sweet girl. I miss her so much. But, you know, it’s great that she’s such close friends with her roommate that she decided to go home with her for the holiday.

Victoria: Happy thanksgiving.

Sharon: Happy thanksgiving.

Together: Hi.

Sharon: I’m so glad you decided to join us. You know, we were just about to get started setting up.

Victoria: Oh, excellent. Well, put us to work.

Nick: Looks like you’re short a couple hands. Where’s katie?

Victoria: Oh, well, she actually decided to go to the ranch and help the cook with dinner there.

Johnny: I want to know what part she’s “helping” with before I eat it.

[ Laughter ]

Nick: Yeah, I wonder if she’s going to get your mom’s skills in the kitchen.

Victoria: Well, at least i know how to make a reservation.

[ Laughter ]

Chelsea: Hey, everybody.

Nick: Hey.

Sharon: Hi, you two.

Connor: Hey, there.

Chelsea: We’d like to volunteer. We have a dinner, but it’s not till later, so we’d like to donate our time since we have so much to be thankful for.

Abby: I hope this table’s okay.

Nikki: Oh, darling, it’s perfect. We’re just having coffee.

Abby: Great. I will have someone bring it over.

Victor: I didn’t know that you would still be here.

Abby: Well, we are sold out for a holiday dining event, and I wanted to be here to personally oversee all the details.

Victor: I see, I see. Well, I’m sure it’ll be a great success.

Abby: Well, I’m surprised to see the both of you here. I thought you’d be getting everything ready for the family gathering.

Nikki: Well, you know how your father is. He can’t stay away from newman even on a holiday.

Victor: What are you talking about? Speak for yourself. I know that you checked up on your office.

Nikki: Guilty as charged.

Victor: Right.

Nikki: So we’re just going to relax a bit before heading back to the ranch.

Victor: Of course, we’re looking forward to seeing you later with chance and our grandson.

Abby: Yeah, um, to be honest, chance and i are having some problems, so we won’t be spending the day together.

Victor: Huh. Sorry to hear that.

Nikki: I hope you’ll be able to work things out.

Abby: Thank you. Thank you for your concern. Um…I don’t want to get into the details right now, so, uh, if you’ll excuse me.

Nikki: You had no idea about this?

Victor: I have no clue.

Phyllis: Ah.

[ Screams ] Daniel! Oh, my gosh.

Daniel: Mom.

Phyllis: Oh!

Daniel: Happy thanksgiving.

Phyllis: Happy thanksgiving to you. Look at you. Very nice.

Daniel: Oh, thank you.

Phyllis: Okay.

Daniel: Okay.

Phyllis: Yeah. I didn’t know you were coming back into town. Why didn’t you tell me?

Daniel: I wanted to surprise you.

Phyllis: Oh, you did.

Daniel: It’s a good surprise?

Phyllis: Yes, it’s a great surprise. My baby boy. My baby boy. Ah.

Abby: I wasn’t expecting to see you today.

Devon: I know. Tucker wanted to meet and have a holiday meal together, so we thought we’d beat the rush.

Abby: Well, I’m glad. Things have been so chaotic since…what happened. And, um…I don’t know. Something about seeing your face, it just makes me feel more calm.

Devon: I’m glad I can do something good for you. Have, uh, things gotten any better at all with chance?

Abby: No, um, I’m pretty sure it’s over. He moved out of the house. I don’t even know where he’s staying. He only comes by to see dominic when he knows I’m not going to be there.

Devon: I’m sorry.

Victor: I really thought chance was a good match for her. What the hell happened?

Nikki: I’m sure you’ll find out soon enough. But abby made it clear today is not the day to have that conversation. So patience, darling.

Sharon: That’s so sweet of you guys to want to help. We would love to have you.

Chelsea: Well, it seems like a great way to celebrate the holiday. Plus, it’s the least I can do, considering I’m living right upstairs now.

Victoria: You are?

Chelsea: Yeah, sharon’s the new landlady. Mariah and tessa moved to the tack house, so sharon offered me their old place. So where can we start?

Sharon: Well, you can help me with something in the back, and, connor, why don’t you take this box of decorations out to the patio?

Connor: Sure.

Nick: Don’t forget these.

Chelsea: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: Here you go, dude.

Sharon: And, victoria, if you wouldn’t mind rolling silverware sets into napkins, that would be a really big help. And, johnny, why don’t you have connor on the patio?

Johnny: Sure.

Sharon: Okay, well, let’s get to it, everybody.

Mariah: Alright.

Victoria: You okay?

Connor: Yeah. Fine. But I should go get started.

Victoria: Okay. Sharon gave chelsea the apartment upstairs. When did this happen? What did I miss?

Nick: I don’t know. Chelsea said sharon’s been incredibly kind and generous to her. Maybe just chalk it up to holiday spirit.

Victoria: Maybe. But it seems like there might be more to it than just that.

Connor: I need to talk to you about something so you’ll be cool around my mom. Not say anything mean to her.

Johnny: I was just planning on avoiding her. What’s going on?

Connor: Things were worse than I thought. Mom got super depressed and had to go into a hospital.

Johnny: Hospital?

Connor: I think she’s better. They wouldn’t have let her out otherwise. Dad let me stay over last night and she seems okay, but she takes a lot of deep breaths like she’s stressed out. I know she’s trying real hard to act normal.

Johnny: When I found out she was my biological mother, I completely freaked out. Acted like a total jerk to her.

Connor: I get it. You were worried things might change. So was I.

Johnny: I completely froze out chelsea. I didn’t mean for anything like this to happen.

Connor: I felt the same way and talked to my mom about it. Like, what brought this on.

Johnny: Yeah? And?

Connor: She keeps saying it wasn’t any one thing, and it’s definitely not about you or me.

Johnny: But is that really true?

[ Sighs ]

Mariah: You got it?

Sharon: Hey.

Billy: Hi.

Sharon: Wow, more helping hands. Excellent.

Lily: Yeah, thanks. Of course. How can we help?

Sharon: Why don’t you ask victoria?

Billy: Okay.

Victoria: Hey. Happy thanksgiving. Um, are charlie and mattie home?

Lily: Uh, no. They’re staying in new york.

Victoria: Oh, well, I’m sure you must miss them terribly.

Lily: Uh, yeah, but I tell myself there’s always christmas.

Billy: I got your text. So, uh, johnny’s here, but katie’s already at the ranch?

Victoria: Yeah, she sent me the cutest message, wearing an apron. Here’s a picture of it. I’m not sure what she’s making.

[ Chuckles ]

Billy: Oh, lordy.

Lily: Uh, you know, will you excuse me? Chelsea, hi.

Chelsea: Hey, lily. Happy thanksgiving.

Lily: Thank you. You, too. Um, I haven’t seen you since I heard the news, and I just had some things that I wanted to say. Moderate to severe eczema still disrupts my skin.

Phyllis: How long has it been since you’ve been home with your mother?

Daniel: Way too long.

Phyllis: Wa-a-a-y too long. That’s the correct answer. Way too long. But I’m glad you’re here now. Mm-hmm.

Daniel: You’re usually not this sentimental.

Phyllis: Oh, I’m not?

Daniel: No, you’re not.

Phyllis: Last year sucked for me. It was horrible. You were gone. Summer was across the ocean with her own family. I was all alone. But you’re here. It’s a good reason to give thanks.

Daniel: I’m a little surprised that you wanted to meet here. I figured you’d want to go to some fancy restaurant and have a proper meal.

Phyllis: Really? I don’t want to do that.

Daniel: No?

Phyllis: No.

Daniel: You sure?

Phyllis: Who are you talking to? Who are you talking to? Let’s have chinese. I’ll do that.

Daniel: Yeah?

Phyllis: Let’s have chinese. Let’s go out. Let’s go out to, um, that place that you always used to go to — I’ve never been there — in burlington.

Daniel: You want to go to the place in burlington?

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ] Yes. Do I?

Daniel: Okay.

Phyllis: But let’s go have fun, and then maybe we can meet up with summer for dessert or something after she does her thing with the abbott family.

Daniel: [ Laughs ]

Phyllis: And, uh, how’s that sound?

Daniel: Sounds perfect.

Phyllis: Good.

Daniel: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: I’m sorry. I’m not trying to make this all about me. How are you doing?

Devon: Well, I’m — I’m hanging in there. I don’t want you worrying about me at all, though. You have enough on your plate.

Victor: Hello, devon.

Nikki: Hi.

Devon: Mr. And mrs. Newman, hello.

Victor: Happy thanksgiving.

Devon: Happy thanksgiving.

Nikki: Good to see you. Thank you.

Devon: Good to see you, as well.

Abby: Are you taking off?

Victor: Yeah. Got to go.

Abby: Okay, I will walk you out.

Victor: Alright.

Devon: Take care.

Nikki: Good to see you.

Victor: Devon, nice to see you.

Devon: Yeah, you, as well.

Abby: I am so sorry, but I’m going to have to skip the family dinner tonight.

Nikki: Oh, darling, are you sure?

Victor: You can still come without chance.

Abby: I know, but I just feel like, with everything going on, I’m just going to bury myself in work and spend the rest of the day with dominic. But we will stop by the ranch to see you guys soon. Or, if you’d like, dominic’s there at our place with the nanny if you want to stop and see him on your way home.

Nikki: Well, we just might do that. But we understand. Don’t worry about it.

Abby: Thank you. Um, I’m going to get back to work, but happy thanksgiving.

Victor: You, too, sweetheart.

Abby: Mwah. I love you. Happy thanksgiving.

Nikki: Happy thanksgiving.

Tucker: Hello, there. Nice to see you both.

Nikki: We were just leaving.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ] Oh, hey, by the way, uh, I understand that ashley passed along the information about diane. I assume you’re pleased to get that and, uh, will be putting it to good use.

Nikki: Hopefully, it will encourage her to bid farewell to genoa city. We’ll just have to see.

Victor: You know, tucker mccall, I think we’d all be better off when you and diane get the hell out of town.

Tucker: Well, I hate to disappoint you, victor, but I have a couple more things to accomplish here. But, uh, happy thanksgiving.

Victor: Hey, tucker, you just remember I’m watching you.

Allie: Guys, there are so many pies in the kitchen.

Jack: Yeah, we abbotts take our desserts very seriously.

Kyle: Along with every other course.

Diane: I’m sure every bite will be divine.

Ashley: I’ll take this bottle back with the rest of them.

Kyle: Allie, what were some of your traditions growing up?

Allie: For thanksgiving, uh, let’s see.

Diane: Obviously, ashley isn’t thrilled that I’m here. I hope she can refrain on stirring up any trouble today of all days.

Jack: I agree. I have already warned her to cool it on the antagonism.

Diane: I appreciate that.

Jack: Please don’t read too much into that. Things are not completely resolved, as I see it.

Diane: I know I have a long way to go to get back into your good graces.

Traci: Hey, everybody, look who’s here.

[ Chuckles ]

Summer: Aww.

Harrison: Happy turkey day!

Jack: Happy turkey day, indeed.

Summer: Happy thanksgiving.

[ Laughter ]

Summer: Oh, my gosh.

Jack: Look at that.

Summer: Awesome. ()

Lily: I really hope that you’re doing better.

Chelsea: Thank you, lily. That’s very kind. I appreciate the support.

Lily: So how are things going so far?

Chelsea: Um, I’m taking it day by day. I was in crisis. It was crucial that I got the help that I needed. I really can’t thank billy enough. He truly saved my life.

Billy: Hey.

Johnny: We can stop pretending. I know chelsea went to the hospital because she was seriously depressed. It was bad. Connor filled me in.

Billy: Okay, well, now that you know, how do you feel?

Johnny: I think the crappy way I’ve been treating her ever since I found out that she was my bio mom may have really hurt her.

Billy: I know for certain that chelsea doesn’t feel that way, okay, and she would not want you to think that way, not for a second.

Johnny: Maybe not, but I still feel bad about it.

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Johnny: I’d like to talk to her if you think that’d be okay.

Billy: I’m okay with it.

Victoria: If it’s that important to you.

Johnny: It is. And I’d like to do it now before a ton of people come for dinner and we’re all too busy.

Billy: You want me to come with you?

Johnny: Dad, no. Come on. No offense. Sorry.

Billy: Okay, yeah. None taken.

Johnny: [ Sighs ] Excuse me, could I talk to chelsea a sec?

Lily: Yeah, of course. Um, I have to get back to work anyway, but I’m really glad that you’re doing better.

Chelsea: Thanks. Have a seat, johnny.

Connor: Thanks. What would you like to talk about?

Billy: I know this comes as a shock to you.

Victoria: Yes. Poor chelsea. I had no idea she was in such a fragile state. How serious was this?

Billy: About as serious as it gets. We’re lucky to have her with us still. That first 72 hours in the hospital were crucial, but she’s doing better. I can tell she’s on a good path now.

Victoria: Well, I’m relieved to hear that, but why am I finding this out from johnny now instead of you?

Diane: Harrison, I just love my turkey handprint. I’m going to hang it on my mirror so I can enjoy it every day.

Kyle: Ooh, you hear that, buddy? Your turkeys are a hit. Great job.

Traci: They are. Every single one is just beautiful.

Allie: Yeah, harrison, you might be a little picasso.

Summer: It looks like we’ve got a few extras.

Traci: Nope, no extras. The red one is for phyllis. The pink one is for abby.

Summer: Aww.

Diane: Speaking of phyllis, how is she spending her holiday?

Summer: My brother daniel is in town, so she’s spending the day with him, and I’m going to catch up with them later.

Diane: Sounds nice.

Kyle: What about abby? What’s she up to today?

Ashley: She’s at society, helping with the preparations for their special thanksgiving event. Then she’s going over to the ranch for dinner, and, of course, I’ll be squeezing in some time for them both later, her and dominic.

Diane: I’m sure they’d love to see you.

Ashley: Because that’s what a mother does. I mean, a good mother manages to spend as much time as she can with her child.

Jack: Will noah be dropping by.

Allie: Yes, yes. He’s coming in right after he makes the rounds with the newmans.

Jack: Well, I hope he likes pie.

Allie: Oh, god, yes. He loves anything sweet.

Jack: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, clearly he does.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh, excuse me.

Ashley: Do you think that when noah gets here, we can swap him out for diane and just tell her there’s not enough room at the table?

Traci: Ashley, come on. It’s thanksgiving. I’m begging you.

Jack: I just got a text from billy. They are taking part in the annual thanksgiving dinner for the homeless at crimson lights. He and lily say they’re running late, and they don’t know when they’re going to get here. Or, as billy says, “don’t let that bird get cold.”

[ Laughter ] So…dinner is served.

Kyle: Hey, hey, let’s do it.

Diane: Let’s go get some dinner.

Kyle: Hey, we’re going to go eat.

Diane: Come on.

Kyle: Oh, come on. Alright, come on. For people who are a little intense about hydration.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. What happens to your body language

Billy: It wasn’t my story to tell. I mean, that circle of trust was very small. It was sharon and i and, of course, chelsea.

Victoria: Well, I guess that explains why she’s been going out of her way for chelsea lately.

Billy: Sharon? Yeah, she’s been amazing, and her professional experience has been a godsend. And she agrees that this is chelsea’s story and she can choose when and how she wants to share it.

Victoria: Makes sense.

Billy: Look, if it makes you feel any better, adam and connor and lily, they only found out about this yesterday.

Victoria: And now johnny knows. I-I feel sorry for chelsea, and I don’t want to see her suffer, but our son has to be my top priority.

Billy: Absolutely.

Victoria: Just how much has connor told him? What’s chelsea saying to him now? And how’s this going to affect things moving forward?

Billy: I know that chelsea was pretty open with connor, but it doesn’t seem like connor got into the details with johnny.

Victoria: This is heavy stuff for kids that age.

Billy: It is. I’m worried about him, as well, okay, but some of this is out of our control. We just have to be there for johnny as he processes all of this.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] I suppose.

Billy: I mean, look at him. He seems to be handling it with empathy and maturity. Maybe we should follow his lead.

Connor: Anyway, I know it really hurt you with the way i reacted when mom and dad told me the truth about how we’re…related, and as upset as I was, I shouldn’t have gone after you like that. So I’m really sorry if it messed you up, and I hope you’re okay now.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Johnny, thank you for saying that. That means so much to me. But [Sighs] You need to know none of this is your problem. You are not to blame. I really owe you an apology for ever putting you in an awkward position. And you have to believe me when I tell you that what happened to me was the result of a lot of things going on in my life. You know, I just went through a rough patch, but I’m better now.

Johnny: Really?

Chelsea: Really. Yeah. And I need you to know, I think you’re a great kid with terrific parents.

[ Chuckles ] And you’ve always been so kind to connor, and that truly means the world to me. So I’m just hoping…

[ Sighs ] I’m hoping, going forward, we can be friends.

Lily: Hey, I think it’s so great that everyone’s rallying around chelsea.

Sharon: Yeah, she really needs it right now.

Lily: Yeah, billy told me how much you’ve done for her since that night, and that must be such a good feeling.

Sharon: I’m happy that i could be there for chelsea, yeah. But, you know, you deserve a lot of credit, too.

Lily: For what?

Sharon: For the way you’ve hung in there with billy. He’s spent a lot of time helping chelsea these past few days. He’s put a lot of energy into that, and that had to be confusing for you if not frustrating.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Well, I mean, that was then and this is now, so, hopefully, things will be calmer from here on out.

Daniel: You know, I heard that you have been knocking it out of the park at marchetti.

Phyllis: Mm.

Daniel: And how great is it that you and summer get to work together?

Phyllis: Yeah, that’s super fun.

Daniel: Mm?

Phyllis: Ah, we’ve been talking about me nonstop. I want to talk about you. There’s so much — you know, we have just been texting. We have not really spoken voice-to-voice, okay, and I know there are some details that I’m missing out on.

Daniel: Ah, what details? Come on.

Phyllis: Details. You know. What’s going on with you? So, lucy and heather, where are they?

Daniel: Well, heather got a short-term gig working as a lawyer for this american company in portugal. She took lucy with her.

Phyllis: Portugal?

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Phyllis: Interesting. You didn’t go with them?

Daniel: Eh, you know, I figured it’d be a good experience for lucy to spend some time abroad. And, look, I had a ton of stuff that I needed to take care of that couldn’t wait.

Phyllis: Yeah, like what?

Tucker: I’m delighted you were able to accept my invitation. I figured you and lily would’ve had plans.

Devon: No, nothing big. She’s just going to come hang at my place a little later.

Tucker: Nice. Now, it’s been too many years since you and I shared a holiday. That’s on me, of course.

Devon: Nah, you know what? It’s not on anybody. It’s just the way things are.

Tucker: You know, I’d like things to be different from now on, maybe be a more regular part of your life.

[ Sneezing ] Are you okay?

Abby: Um, maybe that table over there would be good?

Elena: Maybe we should go somewhere else.

Nate: Nope, we’re not going to play it like that.

Elena: Are you sure about that?

Nate: Baby, this is your favorite restaurant. We’re not going to run away because my cousin happens to be in the same room. Excuse me. Hello. Good to see you two.

Devon: Not really.

Nate: Can’t we at least be civil to one another on thanksgiving?

Tucker: See, I don’t think thanksgiving means giving a free pass to someone who stabbed you in the back. What you were planning to do to your family’s just reprehensible. And I don’t foresee devon forgiving you anytime soon, if ever.

Nate: You finished?

Tucker: Hey, man, you made your choice. If you regret it, that’s your problem. You deal with it. You’re going to leave devon alone now.

Phyllis: There’s more to the story, right?

Daniel: [ Chuckles ] Yeah.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Daniel: I had a feeling I wasn’t going to be able to hide anything from you.

Phyllis: What “anything”? What?

Daniel: Let’s just say that things with heather have been a bit rocky, and they have been for a while, I mean, before the whole trip came up. Look, I really don’t want to get into it. Not right now, anyway.

Phyllis: Okay. Well, I mean, everything seemed like it was okay in june when I saw you.

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Phyllis: Alright. Well, I’m not going to push. I won’t do that. But, uh… I am here for you. I am always here for you. Okay? And your sister, she is here for you. And whatever you need, just call me, okay?

Daniel: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Hey, what are your big plans, by the way?

Daniel: [ Chuckles ] Well, I’m thinking of starting a new chapter of my life. I’ve been channeling my talents in a new direction.

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness. A new direction. Wow. I like hearing this, even though you haven’t told me anything.

Daniel: Well…

[ Both chuckle ]

Phyllis: Well, that is reason to celebrate. Clink.

Daniel: Cheers.

Jack: While we are waiting for the first course, I thought we might go around the table and each say what we are most thankful for today. I think it’d be a good example for harrison. Who wants to go first?

Ashley: I will. I am so grateful for my family and how unified we all are.

Jack: Traci?

Traci: I am so blessed by all of you lovely people who love me and support me every single day.

Allie: I’ll go next. I am so thankful for finding this wonderful family after losing my dad.

Kyle: Summer and harrison.

Summer: Kyle and harrison.

[ Laughter ]

Traci: Harrison, what about you, honey? What are you the most thankful for?

Harrison: Mashed potatoes.

[ Laughter ]

Jack: Diane, would you like to say something?

Diane: Oh, um, I’m grateful for kyle and being able to be reunited with him. And for my amazing grandson, harrison.

[ Chuckles ] And just for being allowed to be part of this family.

Traci: Well, everybody, your words had been quite moving, but I have to admit harrison is my absolute favorite. So extra mashed potatoes for my friend over there.

[ Laughter ]

Harrison: Yay!

Jack: I asked for no conflict today. Just today.

Ashley: There is no conflict, jack. I suggest you tell diane not to get too comfy here.

Allie: I want several.

Jack: Everybody get some rolls?

Traci: Oh, yes. Would you like some?

Jack: Yeah, I would love. I tried everything to remove fabric odors,

Nick: Alright, the line’s already. Halfway down the block. We’re going to open up the doors soon.

Sharon: Wow. Good work, everyone.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Nick: My man, connor, and I, we need an extra set of hands to get the food out of the catering van.

Lily: I’ll help.

Nick: Alright, alright, lily, let’s go.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Mariah: Okay, so what else do you need from us?

Sharon: How about an update? That young woman, joss, who’s been considering you as adoptive parents for her baby. What’s the latest? I know that you were anxious to hear more from her.

Tessa: Well, we were going to wait to tell you until after the holiday, but last night we got an e-mail from her, and, apparently, her cousin will be taking the child after the birth.

Sharon: [ Gasps ] Wow. That’s disappointing. I’m so sorry.

Mariah: Yeah, so are we. But she was really nice about it. And she said that she was so impressed with us, and if it had been anybody but family, then she would’ve picked us.

Tessa: Which means a lot.

Mariah: Yeah. I think it gives us some hope.

Sharon: Well, I’m glad you’re staying positive, and you’ll connect with the right birth mother soon.

Mariah: Well, christine prepared us. You know, she said that this possibly wouldn’t work out, and we knew that adoption was going to be a tough road.

Tessa: But the day that we finally bring home our baby, it’ll all be worth it.

Victoria: How did your talk with chelsea go?

Johnny: Good. I told her that I was sorry to hear how sad she was and that i never wanted to add to any of it.

Victoria: What did she say?

Johnny: She said that it had nothing to do with me. And she’s okay now.

[ Sighs ] I’m really glad I talked to her. It was the right thing to do.

Victoria: I’m very proud of you, son. I’m proud of you for being compassionate, for following your heart.

Billy: So, you’re quite the center of attention today.

Chelsea: Everyone has been so kind. You will not hear me complaining.

Billy: Well, that’s good. How’d your conversation with johnny go.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] He was so sweet. He apologized for how he treated me and asked how I was doing. I told him I’m better and that he’s not to blame for any of this.

Billy: That’s good to hear. How much do you think he knows?

Chelsea: Just the bare bones, that I was depressed and spent a few days in the hospital. Nothing about…

Billy: Right. Okay.

Chelsea: I think it was, um… I think it was really positive for both of us.

Billy: Well, that’s good. Um, what do you got planned for the rest of the day?

Chelsea: Connor and I have dinner without adam, actually.

Billy: Alright. Well, if you’re still up for some pumpkin, uh, you can come by devon’s for dessert. Unless, of course, you’re on pumpkin overload, then you can come for the conversation and hang out, if you’d like.

Chelsea: Oh, thank you, billy. That’s a very nice offer.

Billy: Yeah.

Chelsea: I don’t know how the evening will unfold, but I will keep that in mind.

Nate: I really wish that would’ve gone differently. I wanted today to be extra special since I blew it last night with our dinner date.

Elena: Yeah, I’m not really concerned about that right now. After the way tucker just laid into you, how worried should I be?

Nate: Do not worry. I can handle tucker mccall.

Elena: He had no right speaking to you that way. This didn’t happen to him, and I don’t care that he’s devon’s father. He hasn’t been a real parent to him in ages. You and devon need to work this out on your own without tucker’s unwanted interference. Why are you smiling?

Nate: I was just thinking that I am so incredibly lucky to have you by my side.

Elena: [ Sighs ]

Devon: I appreciate you speaking up for me like that, but you don’t have to. I can always fight my own battles.

Tucker: I — I know that, and I’m sorry. I just couldn’t help myself.

Devon: Alright.

Tucker: Oh, uh, be right back. Hey, you.

Ashley: Hi. Happy thanksgiving.

Tucker: Yeah, you, too.

Ashley: Have you seen abby?

Tucker: No, but I’m sure she’s back there somewhere. You okay? You seem a little worked up.

Ashley: [ Sighs ] I was forced to sit down and share a meal with diane today.

Tucker: [ Snickers ]

Ashley: Yeah, exactly. So I just needed to get some fresh air.

Tucker: Yeah, it went that well, eh?

Ashley: I can’t take it anymore. It’s time to bring that bitch down.

Traci: [ Chuckles ] Well, I am so sorry that ashley had to leave, but I know she wanted to spend time with abby and dominic.

Summer: It’s totally understandable.

Jack: Well, ashley is just going to miss out on a fabulous final toast.

Traci: [ Laughs ]

Kyle: [ Chuckling ] If dad does say so himself.

Jack: Seriously, I was just sitting here, thinking that john and dina sat at this very table for so many thanksgivings, and though I wish they were here with us now, I know they are smiling down on us because there is another generation at the table, their great grand children the sign of a growing family, the sign of an ongoing legacy. Everybody, grab a glass. One last toast.

Traci: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: [ Voice breaking ] To family. To love and loyalty. To kindness and compassion. And most of all, today, to gratitude that we can all be here together on this blessed thanksgiving day. And to many more family holidays and gatherings to come.

Diane: Aww.

Jack: Happy thanksgiving.

Together: Happy thanksgiving.

Summer: Here, here.

Traci: Well said, jack.

Kyle: Cheers. Cheers.

[ Laughter ]

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Diane: I am just so touched that you’d stand up for me that way. I hope you know it means everything to me.

Kyle: Am I interrupting something?

Summer: You went to work with chancellor-winters?

Daniel: Thinking of a new career. It might just be a game changer.

Victor: What’d you do to my daughter?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Indistinct conversations in distance ]

[ Breathing sharply ]

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Panting ] Drew cain. Lauren:

Mr. Cain. Lauren hart. I’m a reporter from the aurora affiliate in tucson. Yeah, I’ve been expecting your call. I tracked down the last known location of the friends for peace and love commune. Fantastic. Great work. Yeah, unfortunately, that community pulled up stakes years ago, vanished into the mojave desert. Well, um… thank you for the update, lauren, but you got to keep searching, okay? Somebody somewhere, they’ve got to know something. They’ve got to remember willow. Let me know.

[ Sighs ] Sounds like you hit a dead end. Yeah. It’s starting to seem, uh, impossible, actually. What do you mean? I’m looking for somebody — somebody, anyone that remembers willow when she was kali miller. Can’t you ask willow? Nah, it’s not… it’s not a question that she can answer. I’m, uh… I’m looking for her biological mother. Carly. Nina. Care to see the cocktail menu? I recommend the kir royale. No, just biding my time till my room is ready. You’re gonna need to run that by me one more time. What letter was brook lynn supposed to write? Wait, you don’t now? I don’t know what?

[ Indistinct conversations ] Look, I know you want to be a cop again, so I mentioned to brook lynn that the civilian complaint review board might be open to reinstating you if she wrote a letter kind of explaining what happened with the incidents. Punching valentin and linc. Right. Like, if she told them that you were defending her, if she kind of put some context around what happened, they would be open to reinstating you, perhaps. When did you suggest this to her? I don’t know. A few weeks ago. But, look, she’s busy, so… yeah, maybe. Brook lynn: Let me get this straight. You’re offering to return my music, the songs that I wrote from my heart that you’ve been profiting off of selling as — as commercial jingles for dog food and paper towel commercials? Those commercial tunes are non-negotiable. They’re sold forever. But the rest of your songbook can be yours. I see. As long as I keep my mouth shut about all those women that you sexually harassed, including me? Well, that’s a first. My mother is speechless.

[ Chuckles ] This isn’t funny, britta. Wh– when you say you’re sick, do you mean the huntington’s disease has started to progress? We’ve known for over a year now that I have the marker. Still, to hear the doctor tell me that it’s no longer theoretical, that the disease is affecting me… it was pretty shocking. But you can’t deny the truth. Then we’ll — then, uh, we’ll get a second opinion and a third. T-there’s a specialty clinic in zurich. I’ll fly you there. Mother, this isn’t a matter of opinion. It’s a fact. The symptoms have started… and they’re not going away. It’s here to stay.

[ Buoy bell ringing, waves crashing ] Martin. What are you doing here? I’m missing lucy. What’s with the cake? Once upon a time, I told her how much I loved hummingbird cake, how hard it was to find in upstate new york. So she threw herself into learning how to bake one. That’s thoughtful. Yes and no. Touch and go there for a while. Some of them were just dreadful.

[ Chuckles ] But she never gave up. And, eventually… she perfected it. So in answer to your question, that’s what I’m doing here — trying to remember, that your girlfriend murdered mine. Robert scorpio. May I finally buy you that drink, or are you waiting for somebody? Yes, yes, yes, and…yes.

[ Laughs ] Please, have a seat. Uh… oh, my. I’m waiting for my contact from the wsb to come and relieve me of this. You must have some very important papers in that. Oh, goodness. You ever hear of a kid’s game called “rock, paper, scissors”? Rochambeau. Yep. Um… paper covers rock, rock breaks scissors, scissors cut paper. But what does that have to do with that? Well, diamonds, they cut anything. You’ve got diamonds in that —

[ Whispers ] You’ve got diamonds in that case? Is that why you’re handcuffed to it? Not just any diamonds. You ever hear of the ice princess? You have the wrong idea. Damn it! You can’t talk your way out of this, kid! Yes, I’m doing victor’s bidding!

Willow’s biological mother? Why are you interested in finding her? Willow’s actually looking for her biological father as well, uh… for her own reasons. Okay, so that’s none of my business, is that what you’re saying? I’m not trying to be mysterious about the whole thing. I mean, everybody knows it’s no secret willow was raised on a commune by a woman she believed to be her mother, right? Lorraine miller, A.K.A. Harmony. The way that willow explained it to me is that she knew that harmony wasn’t the best parent, but she was still her mom, and that gave her life a little bit of structure. Now her life is just… one big mystery, so she’s made the decision to try and track down her birth parents. Said that I would help, for willow. And for your son. I’ll be right over here. Let me know when that room’s ready. Carly, carly, you’re s– you’re staying here in my hotel? I’m surprised you don’t know. I booked the honeymoon suite. Honeymoon? Yeah. Only the best. Brick’s on his way. And I’m sure you’d love to know he’s gonna stay the night. Oh, you’ve spoken to sonny, have you? Yeah, I spoke to sonny, and you and I need to have a little chat. No, I don’t think it’s necessary for us to have a little chat, carly. We need to get a few things straight before you tell any more lies about me and my family. Look, um, maybe she doesn’t want to get your hopes up, man. Maybe that’s why she didn’t tell you about writing the letter. Yeah, that’s one explanation. Maybe she was waiting for the right time. Although, uh, time is of the essence, because the review board meets every quarter and the next meeting is, well, it’s next week. Does brook lynn know? Yeah, as far as I know. I mean, I-I feel like I tried to convey that to her, yeah. Which makes me wonder if she changed her mind about sending the letter, or ever intended to send one at all. You’re entitled to your opinion. Then, so am I. We don’t live in a corporate world with hr departments. We’re artists. We live by a different set of rules. Oh, please. Don’t give me that tired old line. We’re both adults here, and what we’re talking about is a “he-said, she-said” situation, and in those situations, no one usually wins, which is why my solution benefits us both. Once you sign an nda, I’ll continue to develop blaze, and you can focus on making chase the next big thing. You can hear him perform your music the way you always dreamed it to be. Now… do we have a deal? Or don’t we? I know that you need somebody to blame for lucy’s disappearance, but I’m telling you, you’re wrong about anna.

[ Scoffs ] Am I, hmm? In spite of all that evidence, the drone footage of anna shooting lucy. It was enough for the police, enough for commissioner ashford to have anna arrested, arraigned. And let’s not forget when her prison transport miraculously crashes on the way to pentonville, what does she do? She escapes. Well, forgive me, valentin. I’ve been around enough courtrooms to know innocent people don’t run away. They do if they’ve been framed. If you’re gonna start singing that old song, I’m not — listen to me. She wasn’t just thinking about herself when she crawled out of that prison van. She wanted to find lucy, hopefully alive, and bring her home. She wanted to identify the real perpetrator. More than anything, she wants to make sure that justice is served. That’s why I’m down on the pier. I’m doing my part to help anna by retracing the steps of whoever the real shooter is. Do you hear yourself? You’re in love with the woman. Your judgment’s questionable at best. Hell, they’ve got video, for god’s sakes. Even your own father thinks she did it. That’s because it’s in victor’s best interest that the world thinks that anna is guilty. How? Are you gonna make a wish or what? For lucy. For lucy.

[ Blows ] And I hope your wish comes true, marty. I really do. It’s me. Robert’s in the metro court restaurant with the briefcase handcuffed to his wrist. I understand. We can’t let robert hand off the briefcase to the wsb. Yes, victor, I know. If the ice princess falls into the hands of the wsb, then ethan pays with his life, I know. Okay, uh, but you better get that to me soon. That’s what I need to get the diamond. Sooner rather than later.

Everyone has heard of the ice princess. It’s the stuff of legend. There’s a necklace in this case made from diamonds taken from the ice princess. Oh. May I have a look? Just a little one? I won’t tell anyone. Absolutely not. The less you know about this, the better.

[ Sighs ] Robert, mind if I join you? Have a seat. Uh, diane miller, attorney extraordinaire and a frequent opponent in court, meet holly sutton, ex-wife, and a woman I trust with my life.

[Phone vibrating]

[Elevator music plays]

[Music gets louder] And tonight’s winning numbers are 18, 18 55, 39, 71, and 43 we won! Yes! Noooo… noooo… noooo… quick, the quicker picker upper! Bounty picks up messes quicker and each sheet is 2x more absorbent, so you can use less. I’ll hold onto that. Bounty, the quicker picker upper. Diane miller. That name sounds familiar. Didn’t you just… cheat death?

[ Laughs ] Yes. Yes, I did. And I think that’s one thing you and I have in common. Yes, but make that two, because clearly we’re both quite fond of this chap, even if he is a little paranoid. I’m not paranoid, just cautious. Nothing’s gonna happen in the middle of a restaurant. Um, if you’ll excuse me, I’m just gonna go powder my nose. Ooh, why don’t you order a round of tequila shots on me for old time’s sake? Okay. She’s lovely. I understand why you fell so hard for her back in the day. Yeah, well, don’t be fooled. She can be quite lethal. I guess it’s a combination I find irresistible. Oh, trish, a round of tequila shots for the table here, and, um, something off the top shelf, I think? Okay, coming right up. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] Have you got it? Yeah, just what you asked for. This should do the trick. You and brook lynn are both my friends. The last thing I wanted to do was cause trouble for you two. Well, I-I appreciate your honesty, dante. I just wish brook lynn would have done the same and told me about the letter. Okay, but don’t go dredging up trouble like that. You know she cares about you. I’m sure she’s been meaning to tell you, but… yeah, I know. Show biz always just seems to get in the way.

[ Sighs ] Yeah. Sam says the same thing to me about police work. I’m offering you what you’ve been asking me for months — ownership of your songs, your music, your way. With the bonus, they’ll be sung by the guy who rocks your world. Tell me that’s not a win-win situation for everyone. Tell it to blaze and to the next girl who comes off of a flight from the midwest with her own artistic dreams, but who has the unfortunate luck of meeting you as her first contact in the music business. Yeah, I’ve met a bunch of those women. They all come here with their eyes wide open.

[ Scoffs ] I’m just giving them what they want. And you’re just gonna keep treating all those future women the same way you treated me as long as I keep my mouth shut. Did I say that? No, no, brookie, you misunderstand me. I don’t want your silence. You don’t? Isn’t that the whole point of this deal that you’re offering? To close this little deal of ours, I’m gonna need much more. Time is of the essence. As it happens, there’s a conference taking place in toronto and one of the leading experts on huntington’s is attending. Dr. Talone? You know her name? Yeah. Thanks to austin, I was examined by dr. Talone earlier today. And? And it turns out while I was on the run with dear old dad and serving time in prison, I was experiencing stage 1 huntington’s without even knowing it. What I thought was just fear and anxiety was the opening stages of the disease. And now I have progressed to stage 3. I — I-I just wish you told me you were seeing dr. Talone so I could have been there to support you. Well, thank you, mother, but austin was there. He’s become a really good friend to me. I’m glad you weren’t alone. Was dr. Talone able to give you a prognosis? Mm-hmm. Anywhere from 5 to 15 years.

[ Chuckles ] Well, you must be so relieved, britta. It’s not all good. Oh. Dr. Talone said, being realistic, a year and a half from now, I could be in assisted living, requiring full-time care. O-okay. Okay. Um… now that we have your prognosis, w-we can begin experimental treatments. We will — we will engage a nutritionist, do whatever it takes. Stop. Please, I don’t need a doctor. I need a mom.

[ Both crying ] And that, you shall always have. Sonny, you’re still here. You know, I feel — I just — I’m curious why willow feels the need to search for her birth mother when she didn’t want to be any part of her life at all. Yeah, I mean, that’s true. Willow felt like that. Right? Yeah. But now that she’s pregnant, I think the doctors would use any kind of family history that they can get their hands on. Medically speaking, I think that would help. I’m also interested in why michael wouldn’t come to me to, you know, help him look for willow’s parents. And he — he — he comes to you, like he’s comfortable asking you for help. Sonny, michael’s my family, too. Yeah. And we’re business partners. I mean, that is if the elq and aurora merger had gone through. The merger that didn’t happen. I hear it caused problems between you and…my ex. I don’t need you, carly, to tell me that I misinterpreted some things. Misinterpreted, my ass. You saw what you wanted to see, and you couldn’t wait to accuse willow of cheating on michael. I apologized to willow, okay? And you know what america’s sweetheart said in return? And I quote, “drop dead.”

[ Chuckles ] Of course you think that’s funny. I don’t think it’s funny. Willow has been struggling since her pregnancy began, and your kind of gossip isn’t helping. But you don’t give a damn, do you? No, I was thinking of wiley growing up in a broken home. Really? Because the only home-wrecker I know is standing right in front of me.

I don’t care about sonny. You’re welcome to him. And you can spread whatever malicious lies you want about me and brick, I could not care less. You want to come at me? Bring it on. But when you go after my son and his family, don’t pretend that you’re thinking about wiley, because you’re looking for payback because they don’t want someone like you around their son. How’s that working for you, nina? Are you spending any time with wiley? When I brought josslyn back to the house the other night, you were there. Um, and it — it’s no surprise. Look, you were — you weren’t there for a family visit, and — and carly confirmed as much today. Carly told you about us? I know you got to be discreet because of the, uh, you know, trading issues and all that, but, carly, I don’t know why, but she had the need to tell me, and she pretty much, you know, told me all about you guys. Huh. Yeah. She did, huh? Mm-hmm. Carly, well, honest to a fault, huh? Well, I don’t know anybody that knows carly would describe her as “honest to a fault.” Right. So after she told you about us, what, uh… I mean, how’d you react? Well, you know, with ex-spouses, I-it takes a little while to find your way forward with each other. So I just told her that you’re not a threat to me and I’m — and I’m happy for her. Well, that was nice of you to say. Do you mean it? Sam makes a good point. If and when I’m lucky enough to wear the badge again, the last thing I want to do is take work home with me. Yeah, brook lynn wouldn’t like that any more than you like her keeping things from you. I mean, maybe she’s just being careful not to make things more complicated by writing the letter. Assuming I agree to keep my mouth shut about what a miserable misogynist you are — unfortunately, I know from firsthand experience that you do, in fact, sexually harass women — what else could you possibly want? Like I said, I’m not interested in your silence. I’m looking for a different narrative. Because like you said, we’ve worked together in the past. You’re uniquely qualified to tell the world what kind of man I am.

[ Scoffs ] I don’t know whether to laugh or to cry. You can’t be serious. You want me to paint a good picture of you? In every interview you give, in every pr release you write, you’ll sing my praises. Ooh, poor word choice, ’cause you can’t sing now, can you? All I’m asking is that you speak from your heart. Oh, well, my heart says that you are a loathsome dirtbag who preys on vulnerable women. You mean something like that? Alright, fine, don’t speak from your heart, speak from your head. Because at the end of the day, you know you’re not gonna get a better deal than this. All you have to do is swallow your pride and paint a picture of me that’s so warm and winning, that it’ll counter any false accusations that are already out there… or those yet to come, like from blaze or anyone else. So you’re saying, think defensively, because if there’s a bad narrative about you, I could be dragged down with you? You have a reputation for being strong, brook lynn. Some might even say “feisty.” So if you go on the record in my favor, you’ll be extra motivated to help me nip in the bud any outrageous complaints about my less than gentlemanly behavior. Otherwise, you look like a traitor to your sisters, or just a sellout who only cares about herself. Make no mistake, linc, I see you for exactly who you are. Great. Then this is a no-brainer, right? If you really believe in chase, you can go this extra mile, can’t you? I ordered those shots for the two of you to enjoy. What are you waiting for? Well, I have just come from an extended stay at general hospital, so thank you, but my doctors put the kibosh on alcohol for the next three weeks. Me, I’m just a gentleman awaiting your return. Oh, well, wait no more. Cheers. Oh. Your turn, robert. Look, I know you’ve got a few holes in your memory over the last couple of years, but surely you haven’t forgotten our ritual. Oh, you’re absolutely right. Well, it’s not too late to remedy. Go on. You see, there’s only one way to drink a tequila shot. I was on this cruise once, and this rather loud-mouthed woman who lived in orange county taught me a phrase I’ve never forgotten. Ahh. Now, lick it. Mm. Slam it. Ahh. Suck it. Oh.

[ Laughter ] Bleh. Mm. I still got it, kid.

[ Laughing ] You certainly do.

I wouldn’t say I’m happy for carly if I didn’t really mean it. No, I don’t mean to be questioning your word. It’s just that I also know that you and carly obviously had a very long, complicated history, so… wouldn’t be a huge surprise if you had mixed emotions about her moving on. Like you have mixed emotions about sam and dante living together? Alright, I guess I walked right into that one. Carly’s always gonna be donna’s mother, and I only want what’s best for her. Carly, you can’t just waltz in here insulting me like you used to. Have you forgotten that you don’t own this hotel anymore? I do. Have you really looked around? I not only hired a new chef, but I’ve added subtle but significant touches to every aspect of this hotel. It’s thriving, from the restaurant to the spa. But I wouldn’t expect you to appreciate such things, hm? Oh, trish, come here. Please, let me see this. No. P– no, carly! Put that down! Hey. I want to see for myself the subtle changes you’ve made. Now this, this looks like soup. No, carly, it’s potage with a dollop of white truffle cream, so put it back. Do you want it? Because you can have it. Brook lynn wants you to have it all, man. She wants you to have the star on your door, the badge on your chest, everything, okay? I — I should have kept my mouth shut.

I know, I know. But times change, and I have to limit my salt intake. But it’s your turn. Go on. No, I — I think I’ve had enough. Okay, you’re my witness. Excuse me? Well, I noticed it as soon as I got back to port charles. Our dashing and daring aussie is in a bit of a rut.

Okay, uh, thanks for helping out willow with the search. Come on, let’s go. Let’s go. So it’s true. You’re gonna help willow find her birth mother? Yeah. Yeah. Why, is there a problem with that? Damn, man. I got to go. Duty calls. Alright, get out of here. But, hey, I’m glad we had this talk. Yeah? Are you sure about that? Because I don’t know. Maybe you’re lying to me and you’re not happy I brought all this up. No, you just being a true friend to me and brook lynn. Alright, good luck. Yeah, see you. I’ll see you around. I’m so sorry, britta. It’s my natural instinct to fix something, not — not necessarily to nurture it. My training, my — my medical knowledge, that — that comes so easily to me. But being a good mutter? I was given two children to love, and twice, I’ve failed. You deserve so much better, liebchen. You deserve a mutter who knows how to say and do all the right things, not me. Not the woman whose obsession with cesar faison did this to you! Okay. Okay, mother. Please stop. My huntington’s disease isn’t your fault. It’s not. And as much as I hate to admit it, it’s not my father’s fault, either. Sure, I inherited it from him, but he inherited it, too. It’s just the luck of the genetic draw. No, I won’t let it win that easily. We’re both doctors, intelligent and well-trained. We have to fight back. We can’t let it win this easily. There is something I need you to do. Of course. Anything. Go home to scott. Absolutely not. I’m asking a favor, please. You unexpectedly found love at this stage in your life with scott, and I want you to embrace that, okay? Just like in this moment, I need to embrace being alone. Well, either you’re all in or — is everything okay over here? Your conversation looked pretty intense. We’re just getting the details of our agreement nailed down. Right, brook lynn? I wasn’t talking to you, linc. I was asking my manager. Are you okay with his terms? Well…so much for the hummingbird cake. I don’t know about you, but I don’t feel any better. Lucy’s still gone. Anna’s still out there on her own. Yeah, well, at least you know she’s alive. I’ve got people offering unsolicited advice about how unless and until they find a body, there’s reason to hope. It’s getting harder and harder to keep hoping. Guess I just miss her too much. I’m sorry, marty. I am. Yeah, so am I. If only she hadn’t come down here the night that shot was fired. Two shots. There were two shots fired, weren’t there? What’s your point? Why were there two shots? I mean, if anna was the shooter, she wouldn’t need two, especially at close range. In the heat of the moment, nobody’s perfect. No, no, no. Think about it. The police only found one bullet casing from anna’s gun. The second casing was never found. Yeah. So? So I don’t know. But if I figure it out, that’s how I’m going to save anna. Robert? Robert? Sh-should we call an ambulance? An ambulance? No, he’s just passed out after doing a shot. I guess it’s true. We’re not as young as we used to be. I’m gonna order him some black coffee.

[ Groans ] I-I-I’m okay. I’m — I’m — I’m okay. You’re hardly okay after one shot doing you in like this. Come on, I’m gonna take you downstairs and let you sleep it off. Wait a minute. I-I — I got to wait for my contact. He’ll be here any minute. No, you’re in no shape to do any business. Um, could you do us a favor? Could you wait here for robert’s contact and then, uh, just direct them to robert’s room? I still think he needs black coffee. Yeah — oh, no, I-I know what he needs. You’re so good to me, honeybunch. Oh, I know when — when he calls me honeybunch, then I know he needs a nap.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, where are we going? I don’t feel…

I hate to do this to you,but I’ve got to leave. So if someone shows up asking for either robert scorpio or a man with a briefcase, would you please have them call the front desk and ask for robert’s room? Of course. I’ll take care of it. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Diane, diane, diane, nice to see you up and about. Oh, it’s nice to be up and about. Yeah. Hey, nina. Hi, diane. All right, well, I’m gonna — I’m gonna call it a night. Okay. Good to see you. See you. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Just — you just got to let it go. Yeah, I know. I’m trying. But…someone needs to tell carly that. You sound surprised that I’m helping willow find her birth parents. You’re — you’re not opposed, are you? Oh, my god, it’s true. Nina’s willow’s mother. I heard from the lab. And? Nina’s not willow’s mother. No, no, I-I have no objection. I just think it’s gonna be like finding a needle in a haystack, and you’re gonna need all the help you can get. Sounds like you have someone in mind. Yeah. You’re looking at her. Yes, everything is very clear to me now. You and me, we’re good. Terrific. I knew I could count on you, brookie. Now to let blaze in on the good news. You know, it’s not too late. For what? I trust you to do the right thing for both of us. You know that, don’t you? I can’t leave you at a time like this. I mean it, mother. I need some time alone to…gather my thoughts. From the time you were tested… we’ve known that huntington’s disease would be a — a part of your life. But there was no way to know the timetable. It could have been decades before you showed symptoms. But now that is happening… well… if you need a mom, then I need my daughter more than ever, please.

[ Sobs ] All gone, just like lucy. Oh, no, not gone, just missing. There’s a big difference. Anna was set up to take the fall. Come on, marty, we got work to do. And where are we going? To find out what really happened to lucy. Robert, hi. It’s diane. Listen, I don’t feel right about leaving you alone with holly. I’ve got a bad feeling about all of this. So would you please call me when you get this? Robert! Oh, my god, what happened to you?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Yeah, we are gonna miss you today, but I am, uh, glad you guys are there for trip. Let him know we’re thinking about it. All right? Yeah. Love you too, sis. How’s trip? Uh, four kids having a tough time. I mean, losing his mom right before the holidays. But your aunt ca and Steve are looking after. Well, at least he’s in good hands for sure.

But that also means we’re gonna have two lost people for Thanksgiving dinner. So I hope you and Jada are hungry. Otherwise we’re gonna have a tunnel leftovers that about Pa Jada. There’s something you need to know.

This is Brady. Hi, happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving, and please call me Kate. I’m just getting used to my married name. Oh, congratulations on your wedding, by the way. I heard it was a lovely ceremony. Well, yes, it was as lovely as it could be on your deathbed, but you’re totally recovered now, right?

Yeah, no, I’m feeling great and I came up to tell you that dinner will be ready in an hour. Uh, well actually I wasn’t planning on coming to dinner. I had a lot of packing to do. Packing Eric didn’t tell you I’m moving out.

The last time we were here in this kitchen when I was arrested, uh, you know, I had asked you what you thought about starting our relationship and uh, he never really answered me well. There was a lot going on. True. Yep. Yeah. But now here we are, back in the kitchen. So I’m gonna ask you again, what do you think?

No, Chanel is still in police custody. My Aunt Fells trying to get her bail, but I haven’t heard anything, so thanks. Yeah, it was really good talking to you too. Uh, again, trip. I’m so sorry about your mom. Take care of yourself. Okay, bye

Chanel.

Can you look disappointed? No, I’m, I’m, I’m always happy to see you. I just thought it was Chanel.

Mama. Oh, Chanel my poor baby. Oh, I haven’t stopped thinking about you. Not even for a second. Same. Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving. My precious girl

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

I was praying that I was gonna see you today. I should have come sooner. I wanted to, but they’ll advised me to stay away. Said it’s what’s best for you right now, which makes no sense. You needed your mama wasn’t here. Oh my darling girl. I’m so sorry. No, mama. I’m the one who’s, sorry. Wow. You are moving out.

Why? Well, because living here might be a little awkward now that Eric and Nicole are back together. What, when did that happen? Uh, pretty recently. Well, I, I’m so sorry. I mean, I’m sorry not to have you here, but I can understand you wanting to make a clean break. Well, unfortunately that may not be possible.

Why not? So, uh, Jada’s pregnant

and you don’t seem too happy about it? No, I, I, I am. It’s, it’s a blessing. It’s just, you know, I’ve always wanted to have children, but it was obviously not. Of course not. I mean, well, because Jada and I, I mean, we’re not on the best of terms. Something happened. Yeah, yeah, it did. I mean, right before I, I got news about the baby Nicole and I decided to get back together.

Are you here? I came to get the rest of my things. Yeah. Well I already told Eric I’d have him sent over to the pub. Yeah, well you, you shouldn’t have to do that. And I came here because I thought you would be at the station. And also to avoid, well this, that is so Nicole. Yeah. Always taking the easy way out.

I heard about the accident last night. Yeah. Well, it’s still on our investigation, huh? Yeah, I, I know, I know you can’t talk about it. I just, I know we had our issues with Ava, but I still feel terrible about what happened. Yeah, yeah, me too. I heard EJ was there. He must be devastated. Couldn’t even get him to gimme a statement.

I can’t even imagine what he’s going through right now.

I got everything Holly and I need for now. I’ll, I’ll send for the rest later. How is Holly? She’s a little confused about everything that’s going on, but you know, generally she’s okay. It’s with Maggie right now until I find a place to settle down.

Still cooking Thanksgiving dinner. Yeah. Well, uh, I made a promise I want to let Ari and Gabby down. You know, they’ve been looking forward to this. So is I Sorry you had to do everything. I’m wrong. Oh, it’s fine. I make deal turkeys in the air fryer. Just have to, uh, make a couple. Oh my God. I was supposed to make my mom’s pie.

Please tell me you have another dessert. Well, actually I did send Gabby to, uh, go to Sweet Pit Spa. They were closed. Okay, mom, I could still make it. No. Why not? They’re still time. I said, no, you cannot have Thanksgiving dinner without dessert. Please, Ray, if it’s the least I could do, if not for you, then for your family, fine for Ari.

It’s the only reason I’m saying yes. Hey, one pie coming up.

I’ve been baking a lot to keep myself from worrying about Chanel 24 7. In a weird way, it kind of makes me feel close to her. Hey, is uh, is that big mama sweet potato pie? Yes. Chanel and Paulina used to make one every Thanksgiving, so I figured it was a good choice, . Um, but anyway, how Salani, I heard you went down to Maryland to tell her about.

Yeah. Yeah, she, she misses her family, obviously, but I assured her that her, her sister’s getting a lot of support. I, I heard that you, you got a chance to see Chanel yesterday. Yeah. Trask wasn’t allowing visitors, so I had to get special permission from Rafe. But yeah, um, it was really good to see her. It was good to spend some time together.

Has Paulina been able to see her yet? She’s at the station right now. Oh. And I, I would’ve been there with her, but she asked me if I could come check on you. Oh, that’s very sweet, . How you holding up? Uh, honestly, I’m terrified. Just the other day, Chanel and I were talking about our future together. You know, getting married, possibly having kids.

And now it’s like, but if we have no future, sweetheart, you have absolutely no reason to be sorry. But I ruined your big day. You were elected governor and instead of being able to celebrate, you were publicly humiliated because of me. Please. The only person to blame for how it all went down is that horrible da.

She insisted that Detective Brady arrest you at the worst possible moment. Yeah. And now the whole world knows that your daughter committed murder.

You know that incident that Chanel was involved in, Paulina filled me in on the whole story. Yeah, it was just an accident. Chanel did not intend to hurt that woman. Do you think a jury will believe that? It’s hard to say. You know what concerns me is, is the coverup. Paulino meant well, but, well, it’s, uh, it could be a problem.

I’m just so sorry that Chanel and her mom have to go through this.

I do too, Allie. But we have to be strong for them. That’s. That’s all we can do for now.

You are not a murder Russian now. You were only defending yourself. That woman lured you to that roof and attacked you because I was sleeping with her husband. Well, that still doesn’t give her the right to put her hands on you. You were just a young girl. I was a college student, old enough and smart enough to know that I shouldn’t be going to bed with a married man.

A married man was your professor. He had all the power and he took advantage of it. He preyed on you. Chanel. Okay. Even if he did, even if he did lie to me and lead me on, it doesn’t change the fact that I was the one who pushed Martha Bedford off of that building. You were fighting her off. If you hadn’t pushed her, you might have been the one who fell to your death.

What happened was a tragic accident. No one is to blame no matter what that what that spiteful daughter says. But daughter, oh my God, I forgot. You didn’t know Chanel. Sloane Peterson is not just some random lawyer. She’s not? Nope.

She’s the daughter of Martha and Nathan. She’s hell Ben, on revenge.

So what’s the plan? Uh, I’m not sure with Jada being pregnant now, I don’t, I don’t know where I stand with Eric. I met with our divorce. God, I’m sorry.

You know what? I haven’t really thought about it yet. I haven’t really thought about it. Okay. Well I figured there’s no reason to wait. So, um, after the holiday you might as. Get a lawyer and I’ll do the same. Okay? And don’t worry, I’m not gonna fight you or drag it out just because you were in love with your ex-husband the whole time we were married, right?

Uh, we’ll just, um, we’ll just call it irreconcilable differences.

After we talked and Cole and I, we realized that we couldn’t deny it any longer. We loved each other. We wanted to be together. Well, I’m not surprised. And uh, as long as you’re happy, that’s very important to me. So, uh, Nicole is ending her marriage to Rafe, obviously. Yeah. And I decided to end things with.

But before I could do that, I got a call from rape that Jada had fainted. So Nicole and I went to the hospital and that’s where Sarah broke the news to Jada and I. So Jada was pregnant. Yeah, which was a total surprise. I mean, we were careful and while it’s a blessing, It’s just the timing couldn’t be any worse, obviously.

So what does this mean for you and Nicole? That’s a good question. So does, does Eric know about the pregnancy? He was there when I got the news. Okay. That didn’t change anything. Not for me. I’m not looking to trap a man who wants to be with someone. No, no, no. Absolutely. I mean, I, I understand that, and I have to admit that before you came into the picture, I, I was encouraging Eric to get back with Nicole, probably saw their undeniable chemistry along with everyone in Salem.

Okay. I also saw you and Eric together, and it’s very clear to me that he has feelings for you. Not as strong as his feelings for Nicole, but you are carrying his baby now. And for a man like Eric, that carries weight. Meaning what? Meaning that I don’t think you should give up on that relationship so easily.

I mean, it’s not for your baby, for you.

Eric is pretty committed to Nicole and she’s already told rape that she wants a divorce. It’s a pretty done deal. Yeah. I don’t know the, the number of times those two have gotten together and broken up. I mean, I really, I couldn’t even count them, you know? I mean, if you are really interested in a relationship with him, kind of in your way, fight for him.

I appreciate your advice, Keith, but Eric’s made his decision and now it’s time for me to make. On whether or not I’m going to keep this baby.

So you’re thinking of terminating the pregnancy? I grew up in the church, so it’s not my first inclination, but I also believe in a woman’s right to choose Stu. Under these circumstances, it’s just not ideal to bring a baby into this world. Uh, no. I mean, they aren’t ideal circumstances, but knowing Eric, I think he would be in favor of keeping the baby.

Yes. He’s, he’s made it clear that he’s gonna support whatever decision I make. Okay. Well then you need to figure out what you want. I, I wanted to be with Eric, and if Nicole wasn’t in the picture, I, I think I would’ve been happy to raise a child with him, but I, I don’t think I’m prepared to be a single parent, and so I was thinking that maybe baby, maybe I shouldn’t have this baby.

Obviously, I still love. And I want to be with her. We’re just gonna have to have a long conversation of how this is gonna work. If Jada does keep the baby. If she hasn’t made a decision head, is she leaning one way or the other? I don’t know. It’s her decision to make, and I’ll respect it, whatever it turns out to be.

But if you add your way, like I said, of course I want to be a father. Never got to be a father at a little McKinsey. I just hope that whatever decision Jada doesn’t make, it’s not because of what I’ve done. Although, although what? No, I would understand. She doesn’t want to have a baby with a guy who left her for his ex-wife.

So there was no mystery client? Nope. Sloan is the one who’s blackmailing us to avenge. Your mother, Nathan? He, he told me that he had two kids, but he never told me their names. I can’t believe this. So his daughter has been here in Salem, lying and wait for over a year. Goes back much further than that.

Sloane was in law school when Martha died. Initially, her father claimed it was a suicide, but on his deathbed, he admitted to Sloane that that was a lie. He passed away before she could find out more, so she launched an investigation of her own and managed to dredge up the evidence that I had buried long.

Now she wants us both to pay for it. Trask threatened to have you arrested if I didn’t talk. Did you Bell shut it down pretty quickly. But Trask could still charge you for covering up my crime. I won’t let that happen, mama. I will not let you pay for something that I did. Don’t you worry baby. I’ve been in plenty of jams and I’ve always gotten out of them.

Now, trust me, this is no. You and I, we’ll be just fine.

Today was supposed to be our first real holiday as a couple. Chanel and I were so excited to spend Thanksgiving with you and Paulina. You know, maybe that could still happen. I highly doubt Chanel will make bail. Well, I still haven’t stepped down as mayor, so perhaps I could pull a few strings and we can all spend the holiday together.

I didn’t realize how much I really needed to talk to someone about this. Thank you so much for listening. Of course. Anytime. Well, I better get back to packing. So, um, are you leaving today? Um, my rent’s paid till the end of the month, so, um, I’ll be staying for a few more days. Well, in that case, I think you should take a break and join us for dinner.

I don’t think that’ll be a little awkward. Of course it will be awkward. Thanksgivings are always awkward , but it will give you and Eric a chance to talk.

I’ll think about it. Okay, fair enough. And one more little piece of. At the end of the day, forget about Eric. Forget about Nicole. Guess it’s your life, your body, it’s your decision.

Can I run a hypothetical by of course, if Nicole wasn’t a. And you found out that Jada was pregnant, how would you feel? Would you have wanted to raise a child with Jada? I think so, dad, everything’s just happening so fast and it was early in our relationship and Jada is a good person. We did along well.

There’s no point in bringing it up because Nicole is a factor. I love her and I always will. It’s why it’s just become such a big mess. Well, that’s quite an understatement. Just just heard the news. J’s pregnancy. How does she sound? Well, not to break a confidence, but I don’t think she could feel worse about having conceived a child with a man who’s in love with someone else and always has been.

Okay. So, um, Just, uh, pop it in the oven for 45 minutes and then let it cool before you serve. Oh, and um, there’s homemade whipped cream in the fridge. I left a bowl in there. Okay. Thank you. Least I could do. So enjoy your dinner.

I guess this is goodbye.

I promise you, baby, I will get us outta this mess. , thank you. And I am so grateful that you’re looking out for me, mama. I’m just, I’m worried about what this is doing to everyone else who’s getting dragged into this. Like who? Well, I’m sure Abe’s reputation is taking a hit and then there’s Allie. I had to tell her what I did.

Mama, I’m so ashamed. Oh no. I’m sure she understands. You said she does, but. Now that she knows about my past, what if she decides that she doesn’t wanna be with me anymore? That is never going to happen. What are you two doing here? Well, since you couldn’t come to Thanksgiving dinner, we brought Thanksgiving dinner

before I go. I just wanna tell you again how sorry I am. You are such a good man, and you didn’t deserve this. I don’t know about that. Maybe I did and you and I hooked up. I was still with Ava.

Who’s some sort of carmic intervention?

No, I don’t believe in any of that.

If you’ve, you’ve always been such a good friend to me all these years, and I just wish that we could still be friends that we can. Resume what we had before things got complicated.

Yeah. Yeah. I just, I don’t, I don’t see how that’s possible.

Please, not now.

Okay. I understand.

So we may need another place setting because I asked Jade to, to join us for dinner, although I’m not sure that she will. Maybe I should go talk to her. No need. I would like to join. And if you still have room at the table, of course we do. Um, maybe we should go check on the dinner. Okay.

Hey, I’m really glad you decided to join us for Thanksgiving dinner. I just had a really long talk with Kate and she was great. She offered me some really good advice and it gave me some clarity about our situ. Have you made a decision about the baby yet?

I have.

All.

Okay. Who wants more pie? . Not me. I am stuffed. Me too. Yeah. Everything was delicious. Thank you for including me. Well, it was lovely to have you with us. Okay. You know what we haven’t done yet is go around the table and say what we’re thankful for. It’s a big part of our Thanksgiving ritual. Yes, it is. So I’ll start.

I am very grateful that Katie was able to make a full recovery and very, very grateful that she did me the tremendous honor of becoming my wife.

I am grateful too for being here. And for being married to you? My love, my husband. I’m also grateful for my children and my grandchildren that they’re all healthy and I really wish they were here, but they’re not. But I am mostly grateful for everyone who is here and that we could share this Thanksgiving together.

Okay. So who would like to go next? I will, Jada and I, we had a conversation earlier. I’m very thankful. I’m very thankful to announce that Jada decided to keep the baby. Oh. Oh, you’re going to be raising this baby together. Oh.

Alex, what’s on this? Well, what does it look like?

You said there was a work emergency. There is. It’s Thanksgiving and you have been working way too hard.

Eric: He’s probably just overwhelmed with everything that’s going on here.

Li: It’s a big day for douglas’s father, for the whole family. It’s a big day for you, ridge.

Brooke: I can’t believe ridge is marrying another woman today.

Katie: He’s making a terrible mistake.

>>Brooke: Yes, he is.

Donna: Look, we’re here for you. Whatever you need, just– just ask us.

Katie: We’ll get through this terrible day together.

Brooke: Thanks, you guys. I don’t know what I would do without my sisters.

Donna: We love you so much, sis.

[ Knocking at door ]

Katie: Are you expecting someone?

>>Brooke: No. Dad!

Stephen: Sweetheart! Oh!

>>Brooke: Oh!

Stephen: Oh, you remember lucy.

Lucy: Hi.

Brooke: Yes, hello.

Donna: Oh, it’s dad.

Lucy: Oh, you girls.

Donna: Daddy! Lucy! It’s so good to see you in person and not on video chat.

Stephen: Look at the three of you, aw, more beautiful than ever.

Katie: And we finally get to meet the lovely girlfriend.

Donna: What are you doing here?

Stephen: We’re just passing through L.A. And we wanted to say hi.

Lucy: Well, we didn’t want to impose, but your dad thought it’d be fun to make it a surprise. And, oh, brooke, we have had a chance to see some of hope’s fashion preview. I mean, it’s stunning. And all the press around it has been so good, and your father, let me tell you, he has been one proud papa. He’s been boasting about it to all of our friends, the logans and the forresters. I mean, you are an unstoppable team.

Stephen: Alright, girls. I know these looks. I feel like I walked in on something. You want to bring me up to speed?

>>Brooke: It’s ridge. He is marrying taylor today.

Ridge: Thank you for performing the ceremony. Thank you.

Carter: I would have been offended if you hadn’t asked.

Li: Shall we get the kids? I assume the wedding will start soon.

Carter: Not without a bride.

[ Clearing throat ]

Taylor: Okay, you guys are freaking me out, okay? I am still traumatized from the last time your father and I tried to get married, so if you need to tell me something, now’s the time.

Thomas: Don’T. You’ll ruin everything.

Steffy: It’s not me, you did this!

Taylor: What did you do?

Thomas: Let it go. Just let mom and dad be happy.

Taylor: Stop.

Steffy: Brooke never called child protective services on thomas like dad thinks. This is gloria.

Lucy: Had we known you were going through all this today–

>>Brooke: Oh, no. No, lucy, I’m glad you guys are here.

Stephan: So, you think that thomas had something to do with the end of your marriage?

Brooke: Uh, I just don’t trust him, dad. I don’t think I ever will. Not after the stunts that he’s pulled and the things that he’s done to hope. And he’s made it no secret how he feels about me, that he has no use for me and that he wants to get me out of ridge’s life. Well, here we are. Ridge and taylor are getting married.

Katie: Whatever he said or did worked.

Stephan: Well, it shouldn’t have. I mean it. You’re ridge’s wife. He should have given you, at the very least, the benefit of the doubt instead of running back to taylor and not telling you why. I mean, what the hell?

>>Brooke: Uh, well, welcome to my world. And I mean that literally. Really. I’m so glad that you’re here. Especially on a day like today.

Stephan: I just wish there was something I could do to help.

Brooke: Dad, you just being here and supporting me, that is enough. Thank you. I love you.

Stephan: I love you, too, honey.

Carter: How’s the groom?

Ridge: Never better.

Carter: Yeah. Okay. You seem a little–

Ridge: Carter. What’re you getting at?

Carter: You’re my best friend. I want you to be happy.

Ridge: I appreciate that, I am.

Carter: Okay. Well, it’s your wedding day. I’m here to support and facilitate.

Ridge: I know.

Eric: Shouldn’t thomas and steffy be down here by now?

Li: Taylor seemed pretty ready the last time I saw her.

Ridge: She’s probably having a moment with them.

Finn: I mean, this is a huge day for steffy and thomas, something that they wanted for so long.

Ridge: Yeah.

Carter: I imagine emotions are running high.

Ridge: Mm-hmm.

Thomas: Steffy, stop.

Steffy: I won’t let our parents start a life together without knowing the truth. All of it. And I’m not saying you and dad are getting married because the cps call. I know you two love each other, but brooke didn’t make that call.

Taylor: She– she didn’t?

Thomas: It’s a bad idea.

Steffy: Douglas has an app on his phone where you can change your voice and make it sound like someone else.

Taylor: Okay. I need more details, please.

Steffy: Here. Listen.

Agent: Child protective services.

Brooke’s voice: Hello. I’d like to report a child in danger. His name is douglas forrester. He’s at 369–

Taylor: Okay, stop. Why? Why would douglas call cps?

Thomas: Steffy–

Steffy: No. Someone else used douglas’s phone.

Thomas: Hello. I’d like to report a child in danger. His name is douglas forrester. He’s at 369 willow hill road, los angeles. His father, thomas forester, is unstable. He has a knife.

Taylor: Thomas…

Thomas: It’s not exactly what it seems.

Steffy: Don’t lie to our mother, tell her the truth.

Taylor: Tell me now.

Thomas: Okay. I called cps, and honestly, it doesn’t matter.

Taylor: It matters, thomas. It really matters.

Thomas: No, it doesn’t because look where we are. I got the job done. Brooke is gone and out of our lives and you are about to get married to dad.

Steffy: No, thomas. Dad needs to know what you’ve done.

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Steffy: You can’t base your marriage on a lie, mom. Dad needs to know the truth. The world is full of make or break moments.

Stephen: I’m still trying to comprehend the idea of ridge marrying taylor again.

Katie: We all are.

Brooke: Especially me.

Lucy: For him to leave the way he did, so abruptly.

Donna: And with no explanation why.

Stephen: I don’t get it. What could have happened that made ridge shut down on you like that?

Brooke: I don’t know. All of sudden, he just took off to aspen to be with taylor. And of course, I followed, but by the time I got there, I already lost him.

Stephen: And you think thomas had something to do with it?

Brooke: More and more I’m feeling that way, yes.

Donna: Thomas doesn’t even try to hide his disdain for brooke. I mean, he’s constantly putting brooke down in front of ridge at home, at the office. You know, steffy too, for that matter.

Katie: It’s been this relentless campaign by steffy and thomas to get ridge and taylor back together. I mean, I think steffy might have some limits, some lines that she won’t cross, but thomas? Not so much.

Stephen: That guy’s turned out to be bad news for this family. This focused effort on manipulating ridge back to taylor and his obsession with hope.

Brooke: He’s always been a constant source of tension for ridge and me, and I really hate that because he is ridge’s son. I wanna be there for him and I want to support him and understand him, but I can’T. Not after the things that he’s done and obviously is still doing. I mean, somehow he came between ridge and me. And now we’re just minutes away from marrying another woman.

Li: Finn, where did you disappear to?

Finn: I just went upstairs to see what was going on.

Eric: You find out?

Finn: Thomas, taylor, steffy, they’re all together. I was gonna knock, but didn’t want to intrude.

Ridge: Let ’em have their moment. They earned it.

Taylor: No, no, no–

Steffy: Mom, dad needs to know what thomas did.

Thomas: That’s not for you to decide, that’s up to mom.

Steffy: Obviously, I want you and dad to get married today, but I don’t want you to start your life based on a lie.

Thomas: It’s not a lie, okay? It’s information that she would choose to omit.

Steffy: Dad thinks betrayed him by calling cps. That is a lie. It wasn’t brooke. It was you. Dad deserves to know the truth.

Thomas: Why are you so determined to blow this up?

Steffy: I’m not!

Thomas: You have wanted our family together for years with me. You should be thanking me.

Taylor: Thanking you? Thanking you, thomas? Do you realize what you’ve done? Why? Why did you do this? What is wrong with you? You manipulated this entire situation. I thought you had changed.

Thomas: I have changed. I didn’t do this because I’m obsessed about getting a mother for my son or anything like I did in the past. I did this for our family. I did this for you and you and our father. I want our family to be happy. Brooke has destroyed and blown up our family for years and years. And I’m sick of it. And I see that look, all right? I know that you’re disappointed in me, and I am sorry if I let you down, mom. But listen to me. Dad said he wants to be with you because he loves you. Because he loves the woman that you are and the loves the one that you’ve always been. Not because of anything that brooke did. So go downstairs and marry the man that you’ve love for most of your life.

Steffy: I agree with thomas to a point. I do. You and dad deserve this. Our family deserves this. But not like this. Not like this. Dad needs to know the whole story. That brooke didn’t lie. She didn’t make that call. Dad deserves to know the whole truth. Mom, you have to say something. Listen, I’m done settling. Because this is my secret.

Taylor: Oh, my god, thomas, I can’t even look at you. Why did you do this? Why?

Steffy: You know I’m not a fan of brooke, but what you did to her is awful. It was unfair. It was unfair to mom. And to dad. Mom, you know you can’t do this until you talk to him first.

Taylor: Me?

Thomas: Don’t listen to her, mom. This isn’t about brooke. This is about your relationship with dad and your new life together.

Steffy: That will be tainted if dad goes into this not knowing what really happened.

Taylor: Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Okay. I– I agree with both of you, okay? I know that your father loves me. He loves me, and– and he’s not with me just because of something brooke did, right?

Thomas: Exactly.

Steffy: I don’t disagree, but he needs to know what thomas did.

Thomas: He can’t know what I did. Mom, think about it. If dad finds out about it, my entire relationship with him will be ruined.

Taylor: You should have thought about that before.

Thomas: Just forget about this conversation, go downstairs, and move on with the rest of your life.

Ridge: I’m here because I love you. And I want to be with you for always.

Steffy: I love you, mom. And I want you to get married. But you can’t do it until dad knows the truth.

Thomas: He doesn’t need to know the truth. Just go downstairs and get what’s been yours all along.

Steffy: You know what needs to happen, mom.

Taylor: Oh, my god. Oh, my god. It’s time. I don’t know what– what’re we going to do? What am I going to do? What’s going–

Steffy: What are you going to do, mom?

Taylor: I don’t know.

Thomas: Are– are you going to get married or not?

Taylor: Okay, I– I need you guys to leave me alone. I need a moment, okay? I need a moment.

Thomas: Okay. Just do it. Go get married.

Steffy: Mom, not until you tell dad first. Love you.

Brooke: Ridge should be here. He should still be married to me. Instead he’s probably saying vows to taylor. Probably as we speak. Why is this happening?

Ridge: I really thought the music was gonna bring them down. Maybe we should check on them.

Ridge: They’re probably just spending a little extra time with their mother.

Li: Are you excited to see your grandparents get married?

Douglas: Sure.

Kelly: I love weddings. Brides are pretty.

Finn: That’s because their hearts are full of love.

Ridge: What about grooms? We don’t count?

Kelly: You look pretty too.

Ridge thank you. Oh, here they are.

Carter: We were about to send out a search party.

Ridge: Is there a problem I should know about?

Thomas: No, no, no, no. Just the opposite, actually, we were talking with mom about how much this day means to our entire family and to all of us.

Carter: Places everyone.

Ridge: You okay?

[ Indistinct chatter ]

[ Laughing ]

Ridge: You okay?

Daniel: Lily. [ Chuckles ]

Lily: Oh, my god!

Daniel: Oh, look at you.

Lily: Wow, it’s so good to see you. What are you doing here?

Daniel: I’ve come to spend thanksgiving with my mother and summer.

Lily: Oh, wow. That’s amazing.

Daniel: Mm-hmm. This is a wonderful surprise. I mean, I came here to get some takeout. The place seems like it has a pretty good vibe.

Lily: Yeah. Abby has done such a great job with this place. Wait, are heather and lucy with you?

Daniel: Actually, they’re in europe.

Lily: Oh. Okay. You’re not spending the holidays together?

Daniel: No, no. Um, heather got a short-term gig working for the legal team of this american company in portugal. So, you know, she had to go, and we just figured it’d be a great experience for lucy to go with her and spend a few months there.

Lily: Wow. That’s really nice. She’s gonna love that.

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Lily: I’m sure you miss them like crazy.

Daniel: You have no idea.

Billy: Hi.

Chelsea: Hey. Thanks for coming to meet me. I feel bad taking up more of your time.

Billy: No. No. It’s — it’s, uh — it’s fine. I’m actually glad that you texted. I’m really interested to hear how it went with connor.

Chelsea: Well, I took my therapist’s advice and I was open and honest and I told him about my depression. Unfortunately, connor jumped to the conclusion that he was the reason I was feeling low and he was the reason I was in the hospital.

Billy: Aw. Poor kid. That must have been a very difficult conversation. And I got to think adam’s presence probably made it even worse.

Adam: I came here to relax. I didn’t expect to see you and nick together. But now that I’ve seen you together, I… sally, it’s eating away at me, okay? I know it’s a mistake, and you deserve better than that.

Sally: Okay, well, it’s none of your concern.

Adam: [ Scoffs ] Yes, it is. I feel like I pushed you into his arms. Look, I regret every foolish thing that I did to drive you away. I want to be with you. We belong together. Marry me, sally.

Sally: Okay, you’re a little drunk, okay? So you should probably stop before you make things worse.

Adam: No, no, no, no, no. I know what I’m saying, okay? And so do you. I could see the look on your face when I asked you. You didn’t totally reject the idea. You were just trying to see if i knew what I was saying, and i do. This is what I want. It’s what we both want.

Diane: Kyle? Are you here?

Ashley: Oh, my god. You don’t even bother knocking anymore. Just you and me.

Diane: I’m looking for my son.

Ashley: I’m sure you are. Because you’re scared. And you need to find your very last ally before your lies come crashing down all around you, right?

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

[ Pounding on door ]

Jack: Answer the door!

Tucker: Jack abbott. As I live and breathe.

Jack: Save it.

Tucker: Oh. You seem worked up.

Jack: I’m here to tell you one thing.

Tucker: What’s that?

Jack: Whatever you are planning, it’s not gonna work. I’m sholeh and I lost 75 pounds with golo.

Tucker: Would you care for a drink?

Jack: What do you say we skip the social pleasantries?

Tucker: What you call social pleasantries I call 18-year-old single malt.

Jack: I’m way ahead of you, tucker. Whatever you have up your sleeve, I will be ready.

Tucker: Okay. What are we talking about?

Jack: I think you know what I’m accusing you of.

Tucker: Oh, well, I get accused of many things every day, so you’re gonna have to be a lot more speci–

Jack: Jabot. You’re coming after my company.

Tucker: Hmm. Where’d you get that idea?

Jack: That doesn’t matter. I know it’s true. The problem is, there is one flaw to your plan.

Tucker: Do tell.

Jack: You came back to genoa city to win ashley back and to steal our family’s company out from under us.

Tucker: How ambitious of me.

Jack: The problem is you can’t do both. They are mutually exclusive, which I think you already know. Which tells me that there’s only one goal you’re really after. And given your obsession with winning in the corporate sphere, I’d say you’re coming after jabot, that my sister is just a means to that end, that ashley is being used to get to my company.

Tucker: That was my first drink. But if you don’t mind, I’m gonna pour myself a second one ’cause after listening to you talk, i can tell this is going to be a two-drink-minimum conversation.

Jack: I notice you’re not denying it.

Tucker: [ Sighs ] I’ll just say this. You, like 99.9% of the population, are totally incapable of seeing the big picture like I am.

[ Bottle thuds ]

Diane: I am sorry to disappoint you, but that’s not the reason I’m looking for kyle. You make it sound like I’m about to be run out of town by an angry mob carrying torches and pitchforks.

Ashley: No, I don’t think that happens very often these days. I think we could find you a ride to the airport and somebody to wave bye-bye as you fly off into the wild blue yonder.

Diane: I’m not going anywhere. I might not have many allies in this town, but I have the most important one of all — the truth.

Ashley: I can’t believe you just said that with a straight face.

Diane: Jack is also on my side, and I have told him everything that tucker is planning.

Ashley: Yeah. Well, it doesn’t surprise me that you ran to him for protection. I’m sure you managed to squeeze out a few phony tears and tell jack how you’re such a victim and those mean ladies that just won’t believe that you’ve actually changed.

Diane: Jack believes me because he’s been witness to how unfair the three of you have been to me. Whether it’s phyllis trying to ruin my career or nikki sending that investigative reporter to dredge up my past or you…

Ashley: Me what? I have done absolutely nothing to you.

Diane: You’re colluding with tucker.

Ashley: I’m colluding with tucker? No, I’m not. I’m actually just taking what he told me seriously, diane.

Diane: You know, actually, you’re the most devious of the three. You’re letting nikki and phyllis do all the dirty work in hopes of giving yourself plausible deniability. But jack sees right through you. And the harder you push at me, the more he’s going to protect me.

Ashley: Well, maybe that was true a month ago, diane, but the more you go to him whining and complaining, it’s just not as effective as it once was.

Diane: I don’t think you understand the relationship that jack and I have.

Ashley: I think I understand it quite well. And I’m telling you that his goodwill towards you is waning. And you know why, right? He’s sick of it. He’s sick of you. All of your lies. We’re so sick of it, diane. All the lying and the mess you make wherever you go. It’s boring.

Diane: You’re wrong. And, honestly, it makes you sound petty.

Ashley: I think the worst thing of all for you, though, is gonna be when kyle sees you for who you really are. I mean, that day will come eventually, but until then, you’re gonna just keep playing on his emotions, aren’t you? That poor guy. He just wanted a mom. He just wanted a nice, normal mother, and he got you.

Diane: Kyle knows how much i love him, and he understands that I am trying to make up for lost time.

Ashley: It’s sad. It’s really sad ’cause you keep promising him a future, a big, happy family. But you and I both know there is no future as soon as jeremy stark gets released from prison.

Diane: Oh, really? Jeremy stark.

Ashley: Mm-hmm.

Diane: You’re the one who should be worried about that.

Chelsea: Actually, adam was great with connor. He was gentle and understanding. Whatever reservations he had, he followed my lead. He reassured connor that this wasn’t his fault and that I had been dealing with a lot of issues before all the stuff happened with johnny.

Billy: Okay. Well, I’m — I’m actually really glad to hear that.

Chelsea: But then the conversation took a turn. Before I could explain to connor what happened that night on the roof, he figured it out on his own. He said, you know, he’s not a kid anymore, and he told me that he knows what it means when someone wants to un-alive themselves.

Billy: Wow.

Chelsea: I know. I didn’t see that coming.

Billy: I mean, he’s a smart, perceptive boy, but I hope that wasn’t too jarring for you.

Chelsea: It was shocking. But in the end, I think it actually helped us be more open and honest about what happened. And I think connor appreciated that. He could tell I was being authentic, so when I told him this wasn’t his fault, he believed me. When I told him I’m getting better, he knew I was being sincere.

Billy: I’m proud of you.

Chelsea: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: No, really. You — you made the hard choice to have a very difficult conversation, and you didn’t back down.

Adam: Look, I hate that i didn’t take this step before. I mean, it makes all the sense in the world, sally.

Sally: Mr. And mrs. Adam newman? That makes sense to you?

Adam: Yes. I mean, we shouldn’t waste another second being apart. It feels right. Sally, we were meant to be, and I know that you feel the same way because of everything that we shared. Our connection — it cannot be broken.

Sally: [ Breathes deeply ]

Adam: I’m being serious.

Sally: Because you wouldn’t make a joke out of my feelings for you, right? ‘Cause that would just be cruel.

Adam: You’re right. I would not do that, okay? I’ve put you through enough.

Sally: You played games, and you lost. And so now you’re just pulling out all the stops to keep me here, but you know what? I refuse to stay here and let you do this to me. I’m not — I’m not —

Adam: No, sa– look, sally, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Nick: Hey. Hey. Get your hands off her now.

Adam: Just… dishes still coming out dirty?

Adam: Look, are you trying to insinuate that I was threatening sally? Is that what you think you saw, nick?

Nick: Do not grab her like that again.

Adam: You know what? I think what really bothers you is seeing sally with me and what we have, what’s in her heart.

Sally: Do I get a say in this? I listened to you. That is what you wanted, okay? Now do something for me and stop this.

Nick: Let it go.

Adam: [ Breathing heavily ]

Chelsea: Thank you for coming here and listening to me, especially on such short notice.

Billy: It’s all good. I’m glad I was nearby.

Chelsea: Well, I should get back up to connor.

Billy: Yeah. It turns out moving upstairs is a good thing, right? It’s both convenient and worthwhile. It’s nice.

Chelsea: Yeah. We’re both really comfortable up there. Believe it or not, it’s starting to actually feel like home.

Billy: It’s amazing, chelsea. There’s a real — there’s a real shift in you, you know? You seem like you’re more at peace. It’s a good thing to see.

Chelsea: And your support has really helped me get to this place.

Billy: No. It’s all you. It really is. You know, you made the choice to have a difficult conversation, and that was, uh — wasn’t easy to do.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] I was at the lowest point in my life, but now I feel like it’s gonna be a great thanksgiving. I have a lot to be thankful for.

Billy: Yes, you do.

Nick: I’m sorry adam grabbed your arm like that. I also apologize if I made it worse with anything I, uh, said.

Sally: [ Sighs ] No. I’m — I’m glad that you stepped in when you did. But grabbing my arm was not the most outrageous part of his performance.

Nick: What do you mean?

Sally: He proposed to me. And he insisted that we belong together. I mean, why would he do that? In public and half-drunk?

Nick: You know why he did it. He’s willing to do or say anything to end our relationship. It’s not gonna work.

Sally: I like this. I like us.

[ Sighs ]

Nick: I like us, too. I’m gonna go home to christian. I’ll be thinking about you all night.

Sally: I will be thinking about you, too.

Nick: [ Sighs ]

Lily: Thank you. Remember when we went to california?

[ Laughs ]

Daniel: Of course. But I think you mean ran away.

Lily: Oh, my god, that’s right.

Daniel: Let’s not delude us.

Lily: That’s right. We left the state without permission.

Daniel: Our parents were freaking out trying find us.

Lily: [ Laughs ] Oh, and then we were broke, and we got that job where we were wearing fruit costumes. Remember that?

Daniel: Yes, yes! Not the worst job I’ve ever had.

Lily: Oh, my god.

Daniel: Close, but…

Lily: [ Laughs ] Well, I mean, we had no work experience, and they paid cash.

Daniel: Ah, I think the thing I remember most about that whole experience was the, uh, itchy banana costume.

Lily: [ Laughing ] Oh, my god. Aww, those were the good old days. We’ve come a long way since then.

Daniel: Mm. Yes, we have. I mean, look at you. From dressing up as a bunch of grapes to ceo of chancellor-winters? Congratulations.

Lily: Thank you.

Daniel: I mean it. I am extremely impressed with everything that you’ve accomplished.

Lily: Wow. Thank you. Well, I mean, what about you? Renowned artist.

Daniel: Mm.

Lily: Hello?

Daniel: [ Chuckles ]

Lily: Your photography was amazing. And then your painting. Do you have any exhibitions coming up?

Daniel: I’ve been taking a bit of a break lately.

Lily: You’re not painting anymore?

Daniel: Well, I’m still creating. I’ve got a few new ideas that I’m really excited about, and i really like the direction I’m headed. And I want to tell you all about it soon.

Lily: Does it involve another banana costume?

[ Both laugh ]

Daniel: Possibly. Possibly.

[ Clears throat ] I read — I read somewhere that you and billy abbott are a couple? I couldn’t believe it, even after my mother confirmed it.

Lily: I know. It came as a surprise to us, too.

[ Laughs ] Actually, jill made my job offer contingent on the fact that billy and I had to work together as a team, and I was kind of his boss.

[ Both laugh ]

Daniel: I love that. I bet billy didn’T.

Lily: Well, no. I mean, it was fine. He didn’t mind that I was in charge. We have different styles, you know, and different ideas of what’s acceptable risk.

Daniel: And, what, did he keep pushing the envelope and driving you crazy?

Lily: There were some clashes, but… I don’t know. It was good. We were a good combination. Even though, you know, we had our differences, it — it worked.

Daniel: Until it didn’T. Super emma just about sleeps in her cape.

Lily: What makes you say that? Who told you it didn’t work?

Daniel: Oh, I don’t have any insider knowledge as to what happened. I do remember reading the retraction that billy had to write after publishing the ashland locke story. The one without an actual source?

Lily: Yes. That. Uh, I mean, you know, it’s complicated. It wasn’t entirely billy’s fault.

Daniel: Mm. It sounds like you’re trying to brush it off, but that was a big deal. I mean, that’s how you guys lost chanccomm, right?

Lily: I mean, not entirely, but it definitely was a major factor.

Daniel: Well, it sounds like you’ve gotten past that.

Lily: Yeah, got past that incident.

Daniel: I’m sorry. Have there been more?

Lily: I’m sorry. What’s with all these questions? Are you writing a book about my company?

Daniel: No, no. I’m — I’ve just been trying to stay informed as to what’s been going on around here. And I will admit, I’ve been down a few internet rabbit holes looking up my old friends in genoa city.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Daniel: [ Sighs ] You know, the rest of genoa city has changed. There’s new buildings and businesses, and a couple of familiar faces I passed in the street, they — they just look different. Older. But you, lily — I mean, you look, um…

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Hey.

Billy: Daniel. Man, hell of a surprise.

Jack: The world according to tucker mccall. This I got it hear. What is it you think I’m missing?

Tucker: Well, first of all, you don’t seem to realize that ashley is just miles ahead of you — and all the other abbotts, actually — in both vision and intellect.

Jack: Oh, you’ll get no argument from me about ashley’s brilliance. But you would be a fool to think you can outwit both of us. And you’re kidding yourself to think that ashley would ever fall in love with you again.

Tucker: Well, time will tell.

Jack: Trust me, the only reason she is spending time with you is solely to uncover what your real motive is.

Tucker: I’m aware of that. She and I have actually discussed it. I’ve accepted her challenge to prove to her that I am sincere in wanting her back and that I’ve got nothing more to hide, which is why I filled her in on all of diane’s nasty little secrets. And apparently, diane has been filling your head with all sorts of fantastic tales of my sinister plans.

Jack: Come on. You and I both know this is about a lot more than you trying to prove your noble intentions to ashley.

Tucker: Are you sure, jack? ‘Cause it seems to me you have no idea what you know. You come here on some fishing expedition, just hoping maybe, just maybe, I’ll confirm your suspicion. I mean, what did you say? That I’m no match for you and ashley together? Well, that means you know the truth — that you, by yourself, are no match for me.

Jack: Wouldn’t it have been easier just to say, “jack, no, I’m not coming after your company”?

Tucker: No. No, I think I’d like to just keep you guessing. I’m having too much fun watching you sweat.

Diane: You’re the one fabricating this outrageous lie that I am somehow responsible for sending jeremy stark to prison? Do you know, if he heard that and believed it, how dangerous that would be?

Ashley: I don’t think it’s a lie, diane.

Diane: Oh, really? Oh, really? You’ve read the court transcripts? You were debriefed by the treasury department and the fbi? You know how it all happened?

Ashley: Clearly, no. But I know the story, and i don’t believe anything out of your mouth. So, there’s that.

Diane: It must feel so nice to be all-knowing.

Ashley: I’m not all-knowing. Like, I don’t know why jeremy stark being released from prison is dangerous for me. I mean, that is what you said, isn’t it?

Diane: Yes, I did.

Ashley: Uh-huh.

Diane: He is a ruthless man. And you’re putting a target on my back. But I’m not the only one in this equation. I am kyle’s mother. I am harrison’s grandmother. I am summer’s mother-in-law. I work in the jabot buildings. I am a welcome guest here. If jeremy stark causes problems for me, it won’t just affect me. It’ll affect your whole family. And that will be your fault.

Ashley: You are just so shameless. It’s gross. It really is. I mean, you’re basically using your own grandson as a human shield.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Ashley: I mean, come on. I guess I can’t blame you, though. You’re scared, aren’t you? You should be. You should be very scared. Because you know what? This is your last chance. I’d run if I were you. I’d run before it’s too late.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

[ Knocking on door ]

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Adam: Hi!

Sally: Wh– what are — what are you — what are you doing? Are you crazy?

Adam: I’m just…

Sally: [ Scoffs ] Wh– no. Come on. You don’t — you don’t — you do not need any more to drink. Did they cut you off upstairs?

Adam: I don’t know. Probably.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Okay, I don’t know if you think this is endearing or it’s romantic, but it’s not. It’s not. It’s maddening and it’s hurtful. Wh– what are you doing? You proposed to me in the middle of a club while I’m with nick, while you’re half-drunk. Why would you do that?

Adam: [ Scoffs ] You know why, sally. We make sense. We’re magic. And I don’t understand why you would rob yourself of that. If you’re on medicare,

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Sally: You’ve had too much to drink.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Maybe. But, look, I have never had more clarity about anything in my life. I’ve never felt so totally in sync with someone. We — we are equals on every level. That is — that’s so rare. We can read each other. We — we can… we know what the other one’s thinking, our dreams, our desires, all this —

Sally: Yeah, but that was before.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Yes, before I screwed things up. I know. But I did that for you. I loved you so much that I was willing to cut out a piece of my heart by letting you go. I wanted you to have everything because you deserve it, sally. You’re perfect.

Sally: [ Laughs ] Okay. Now I know you’re drunk.

Adam: I’m — I’m — I’m not saying you’re — you’re not without your flaws. I mean, you’re — you — you’re incredibly complicated. Like a wildfire. A beautiful mess, okay? I know the real you, and I love all of it. And I know that you’re afraid to show that side to nick because of how he’ll react. And let’s face it — you’re with him to hurt me. I get it. And for nick, it’s — it’s just about the sex.

Sally: How is any of that supposed to be flattering? Do you not see how insulting that is? You just told me that I’m using nick and that he’s using me right back.

Adam: Yeah. Because that’s exactly what’s happening.

Billy: Man, it’s really good to see you.

Daniel: You too. Lily and I were just talking about you.

Billy: Uh-oh.

Daniel: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: Are you, uh — are you sticking around, or are you just passing through or what?

Daniel: Here for the holiday, maybe longer.

Billy: Well, that’s cool. I’m sure lily and summer are gonna to be thrilled to see you and heather, lucy.

Lily: Actually, heather and lucy are in portugal.

Billy: Wow. That sounds nice. So, uh — so you’re here alone.

Daniel: Yeah, that’s right. Just me all by myself catching up with old friends.

Billy: Mm.

Lily: How is chelsea?

Chelsea: Uh, she’s good. She’s doing better.

Daniel: I think my food’s ready. I gotta get back to the hotel. Um, I’d love to catch up some more.

Billy: Yeah, that’d be great.

Daniel: Actually, I’d like to run my new idea by the two of you.

Lily: The thing you mentioned before?

Daniel: Exactly. Maybe we could set up a time, i could come by chancellor-winters, and we could talk about it.

Lily: Yeah, I’d love that. I’ll have my assistant e-mail you some times.

Daniel: Great. I’ll be seeing you then.

Lily: Alright.

Billy: Yeah.

Daniel: You guys have a nice night.

Lily: Thank you.

Billy: You too. Good to see you.

[ Groans ] I think it’s gonna be steak for me tonight.

Diane: Ashley, you are so focused in railroading me out of genoa city that you are putting everyone in jeopardy. You’re buying into tucker’s game. I refuse to do that.

Ashley: What are you talking about? The only reason why you’re back in genoa city is because you struck a deal with tucker. You’re the one playing by his rules.

Diane: Not any longer. Have you asked yourself why tucker has so suddenly turned on me?

Ashley: Uh, yeah, I did, and I realize it’s because it’s advantageous to him. He knows there’s a lot of people in this town that would be so happy if he helped send you back to california.

Diane: Oh, and I’m sure he made it sound like a gift so that you would be grateful and reward him appropriately.

Ashley: I know exactly who tucker is. He’s out for himself.

Diane: The real reason that tucker and I are on opposite sides is because I refused to give him information on jabot’s financials. That was originally part of our deal.

Ashley: Jack told me.

Diane: Well, then he must have also told you that i wouldn’t go along with it. It would risk everything I’ve rebuilt with kyle, and so I said no.

Ashley: That’s really great. You know, I’d be careful if i frame your refusal to participate in corporate espionage as a noble act, especially since you agreed to do it in the first place, right? I mean, it kind of sounds like you’re just doing damage control.

Diane: You are missing the point! Tucker was asking me for information about your family business and your love life. Ashley, he’s using you!

[ Door slams ]

Jack: I cannot have the two of you arguing and sniping with each other in this house with harrison here.

Diane: My only goal is to protect this family.

My family. So you need to listen to me.

Adam: Sally, what I’m offering you is love. Sincere, hopeful love. You’re wasting your time with someone — he’s never gonna make you happy. And I just — I would hate to see you settle for…that.

Sally: Okay, I know you can’t stand the idea of me being with nick. So, now what? You’re — you’re doing everything you can to put an end to it?

Adam: No, I’m — I’m being very real. He is never going to treat you the way that you deserve, sally. Yeah, he can make women feel like they’re the most important thing in the world, but he’s just looking for a replacement for sharon. She’ll always have his heart, okay? That’s why it didn’t work out with, uh, him and phyllis — because he couldn’t turn her into sharon. Same thing for chelsea. Poor chelsea. You know, she’s going through a lot, so it’s no wonder that she…

Sally: It’s no wonder what?

Nick: Hey, chels.

Chelsea: Hey.

Nick: How are you?

Chelsea: I’m good.

Nick: Yeah, sharon told me you were, uh, moving upstairs.

Chelsea: Connor and I love it up there. It was really kind and generous of her to offer it to us.

Nick: Well, that’s sharon. What are you doing for thanksgiving?

Chelsea: Uh, you know, I’m not sure yet. I need to talk to adam about it. We’re gonna do something together so connor can be with both his parents.

[ Sighs ] Speaking of, I got to get these pastries upstairs so he can wake up to them in the morning.

Nick: Yeah. Here to pick up some morning treats for christian myself.

Chelsea: Ah, well, great minds think alike.

Nick: Well, I hope you have a great thanksgiving.

Chelsea: You too, nick.

Billy: Sorry that took a little longer than i expected. I wanted to just run over and run back, but…

Lily: No, no, it was fun, actually, running into daniel and catching up.

Billy: Yeah. I know. It was good to see him. It was nice of him. He was kind of like my seat filler, you know, keeping you entertained while I was gone.

Lily: [ Scoffs ] I mean, it wasn’t exactly like that.

Billy: Come on. You two looked like you were having a good time.

Lily: Um, I know that we’ve been really busy and we haven’t had a chance to talk about thanksgiving.

Billy: Thanks-what?

Lily: Yeah, I know what you mean. I feel that way, too. Um, I was thinking that we could help sharon at the coffeehouse. People in need.

Billy: I love that idea. That’s great. And then maybe we can go to the abbotts for dinner after that.

Lily: Yeah. And then maybe devon’s for dessert?

Billy: Boom. Look at that. Plans made.

Lily: Yeah, that was easier than I expected.

[ Chuckles ] I do love thanksgiving. It’s my favorite holiday. Just spending time with family and friends.

Billy: With a big old slice of pie at the end.

Lily: The perfect day.

Billy: Speaking of, uh, family and friends — and in the spirit of thanksgiving — there’s something I want to run by you.

Lily: Does it involve chelsea? Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

Adam: Chelsea is just going through a lot right now. That’s all.

Sally: Okay, but you said “no wonder.” What did you mean by that?

Adam: Sally, you think I’m — you think I’m drunk, so it doesn’t matter what I tell you.

Sally: Yes, but what you say when you’re drunk might mean more than when you’re sober.

Adam: You’re right. So you should know that I meant everything that I said to you tonight, okay? So, just forget about the booze and my rambling. Pay attention to our connection. That’s what’s important. I know that you understand that. Think about what I said. The proposal. You know, it was from the heart. Just know that I love you.

[ Door closes ]

Nick: Daniel?

Daniel: Nick!

Nick: Look at you!

Daniel: Hey! How you doing?

Nick: Good. Are you home for thanksgiving?

Daniel: Yeah, yeah, just got in today.

Nick: Summer and phyllis have got to be thrilled.

Daniel: Oh, they better be.

[ Both laugh ]

Nick: It’s gonna be an awesome holiday.

Daniel: Well…

Nick: How are heather and lucy?

Daniel: Oh, they’re great. Yeah, they’re just — you know, they’re great.

Billy: You’re right. This does have to do with chelsea.

Lily: [ Sighs ] So, she, what, doesn’t have anywhere to go for thanksgiving?

Billy: I think she’s hoping to spend it with connor and adam, but just in case that doesn’t happen, I don’t want her to be alone on the holiday. That — that wouldn’t be a good idea.

Lily: So you want her to come with us?

Billy: I would like her to have the option, she and connor, depending on what happens.

Lily: Sorry. What do you think is gonna happen?

Billy: I don’t — I don’t know exactly, but, you know, it’s adam. He could — he could choose to fly off to the himalayas the morning of. I don’t know.

Lily: Okay, I don’t think that’s a reasonable scenario.

Billy: Well, something as absurd could happen, and I don’t want her to be left out in the cold. So, if it’s okay with you, it’d be nice if connor and chelsea were able to spend thanksgiving with us, if need be.

Lily: Right. Um, I am sensitive to chelsea’s situation, but you’re making assumptions. You’re worrying about offering help that she might not even need. So, why don’t we just enjoy our holiday and see what happens?

Billy: Okay.

Diane: Ashley, I think you hate me so much that you are blind to what’s happening here. If you let yourself be swayed by these revelations about my time in L.A., Then tucker will succeed. It could be catastrophic.

Ashley: I hardly think that you finally owning up to everything you’ve done and then leaving town would be a catastrophe.

Diane: Instead of spending all of your time thinking about me, you should be worried about tucker. He’s after jabot. You need to open your eyes and see that I’m not the enemy here.

Ashley: Stop telling me what I need to do.

Jack: I just had a very unpleasant meeting with tucker. I think diane is right. He’s coming after jabot.

Diane: And what you need are allies to figure out what tucker is planning and how to stop him, and you couldn’t ask for a better one in this situation than me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

All right. No sign of linc or blaze. Linc said there were some issues with the song, a song that I wrote. Did he say what those issues — does it matter? I’m not taking notes on a love song from a perv whose idea of romance is plying women with booze and sticking his tongue down their throat. Did he try that with you? Of course he tried it. Fortunately for me, I have an excellent sense of communication and delivered a clear and concise message with my knee. What a sleaze. You know, I can’t wait to ruin him. Expose him for the predator that he is. Remember, no punching. Yeah, I’m not making any promises. No, it was very subtle, but you could tell none of the furniture was where it was supposed to be. Oh, no. The boys were — were pulling a full-on coup. No, and scout refused to spy for us. I even tried to get her to be our ci. She wasn’t, uh, too interested in that. Can’t imagine why. Mm. They’re basically on a power play all the time. It’s three on two. Mm-hmm. Yes. We’re — we’re outmatched. In any case, I’m glad that we have this opportunity to get together ’cause we’re all so busy, right? Mom… I’m not gonna ask any questions about the hook killing thing, and I’m not gonna ask you anything about the investigations about your pcpd, present or past. Okay, good. So… great. I’m sorry to interrupt. I’m so sorry. Uh, hello, alexis, sam. Nina. Nina, is everything okay? Uh [Sighs] That depends. Dante, I will not ask for any details about the case. I just need to know this — how worried does ava need to be about esme prince? Are you all right? Uh, did someone break in and try and steal the necklace? What? No. Okay. So… you want to tell me what happened? There’s no point getting into it. Just humor me. Pretend that I’m useful. Please…let me help. Hey, willow. You okay? We’re early, that’s all. Can we wait down here? Yeah, if you want. I don’t want to wait by the chemo treatment room. I know it’s silly. No, not at all. Whatever makes you comfortable, that is what we’re going to do. Hey! Hey, guys. What are you doing here? You know [Sighs] I’m beginning to wonder if robert is quite as trusting as you led me to believe. I’ve done everything I can to convince robert that I have no memory of the last two years. And as far as I can tell, he completely believes me. Stop it! Stop lying to me, holly.

Esme has been seen in town, right? And didn’t she attack elizabeth baldwin? Really? I didn’t know that. Uh…y-yes. Um, but elizabeth is — is doing fine. But if esme is behind these hook attacks, dante, that would make sense, right? Because it fits in with the pcpd’s theory that these attacks are connected to trina robinson’s trial. It wouldn’t be the first time esme went after trina. I mean, given the victims… yes. Starting with ava… …who was a mentor to trina — or is a mentor — is that correct? Yeah. Right? And diane — she defended and represented trina. And diane also told me that oz haggerty sold esme the phone that she used to record josslyn and cameron. Wow. That’s right. And guess what — elizabeth is cameron’s mother, right? So she would be targeted, too. Annnd the investigation is ongoing. Okay, okay. Can you at least tell me this — is ava safe? Or should I expect esme to be showing up at my door with a giant hook? No, I — all I can suggest is that you stay vigilant. But, yeah, you go ahead and live your lives. Okay, dante, okay. I’m sorry again for interrupting. No worries. That’s okay. Have a great night. You, too. You, too. The investigation is ongoing. Got it. It’s not that I don’t like your song, brook lynn, I do. What an honor. I mean, the lyrics? Terrific. But the arrangement… I’m not singing backup for chase. Look, no one’s asking you to. The song is perfectly balanced. Look, each of you, both you and chase, get a solo verse before singing the chorus and a third verse together. When we do sing together, I’m always the melody while his part really shows off his range. My part is… it’s a little boring. It’s an excellent point, babe. Blaze deserves her time to shine. This sounds like a rehearsal issue. Okay, look, this is a collaboration. We communicate, and we fix it. After all, we’re on the same side, right? I just want the song to be good. Well, we can certainly figure out a way for this song to showcase us both. Linc: I’m sure we can work something out. Blaze knows how to play nice. Don’t you, babe? Sorry, I’m just, uh… going through a tough time.

[ Sighs lightly ] Yeah, um, you know, I’ve — I’ve had a few of those.

[ Chuckling ] You know what’s funny? My father…

[ Voice breaking ] When he died, I thought… “it’s over.”

[ Chuckles ] “I’m finally done.”

[ Chuckles ] Little did I know the reach that man had. You know, his brain is, like, in a jar in the wsb somewhere? And his body is literally in the wind.

[ Sniffles ] We scattered his ashes, and now a man who spent his life trying to destroy the world is spending eternity polluting it. He’s dead and gone, and he’s still hurting me. And I wasted so much of my life striving for his approval. But no matter how much I accomplished, it was never going to happen. Hey, he must have been delusional to not see how great you are. Yeah, maybe he was. Hey, that’s the spirit, you know? If your old man can’t appreciate you, that’s on him — that’s not on you. Is it really that easy for you?

[ Chuckles ] You know, kind of. Honestly, I wasn’t very close with my family, you know? My mom, who — the woman I thought was my mom, she had to work to — just to put food on the table. So she didn’t really have time for me, you know? It was, uh — it was only, uh, if I outgrew my sneakers or to tell me I wasn’t allowed to play hockey ’cause she couldn’t afford the pads.

[ Chuckles ] Thanks, but… it’s not the same. No, I-I — I know — I know it’s not the same, but I-I know what it feels like to be overlooked, you know, to feel like you’re a burden. You’re not. [ Sighs ] Worth loving? Hey, you… …are definitely worth loving. Even that’s what’s been passed down to me? For god’s sake, victor. You’re the only person I’m not lying to. I’m completely betraying robert, my friends, probably several countries, because you’re holding my son ethan’s life in your hands. I have worked too hard, come too far for… one more life means nothing to me. I will kill luke’s son as easily as I killed luke himself. Though perhaps not quite as quickly as I killed your sister, paloma. Believe me, you don’t have to remind me of everything that you’ve already taken from me. Oh, trust me, you have a lot more to lose. And if you are sloppy and arousing robert’s suspicions… miraculously, robert still trusts me. Then why was anna not at the safe house? I don’t know. She’s an expert at evasion. If she doesn’t want to be found, you won’t find her.

[ Sighs ] Yes, well, wasn’t that lucky for you? Otherwise, robert wouldn’t have given you a second glance all those years ago. Does it still sting to know that you’ve always played second fiddle to anna? Didn’t expect to see you here. Everything okay? Yeah, everything’s great. Just keeping busy. What about you guys? Are you working, or do you have an appointment? Tj: Hey, everyone. Hey! Happy thanksgiving. Back at you. Tj, I have a question for you. Um, it’s a nursing thing. Excuse us. Yeah.

[ Sighs ] How’s willow doing? Has her pregnancy gotten any easier? Uh [Sighs] Actually… uh, willow and i are kind of nervous. ‘Cause she decided that she was gonna try and find her birth parents.

This duet is an opportunity for both blaze and chase. I mean, blaze is the one with the following. How many followers you got, babe? A few million. Since you’re the one riding her coattails, I think it’s on you to make this work. You know what? Here’s an idea, linc. Why don’t we grab a coffee at the counter and we’ll let the talent talk? Ooh, a little one-on-one time with blq? I’d be…happy to suss things out. I hope you don’t mind my saying so, but you seem a little… uncomfortable around linc.

[ Chuckling ] Uncomfortable? Yeah, with how touchy and handsy he can be. That’s the business. I mean, we’re artists, not accountants. It’s all hugs and kisses instead of handshakes. Like, I’m not talking about schmoozing. Linc — what he’s doing is so far beyond that. But you can fight back. Sit there. Why? You know why. I’m not letting you grope me.

[ Sighs ] You always were dramatic. And you always were a sleaze. And judging by the way you treat blaze, not much has changed. You don’t hear blaze complaining, do you?

[ Scoffs ] What linc is doing is, at the very least, sexual harassment. So? I have a contract with linc. And I’ve worked hard to get where I am. I’m not going to blow it now.

[ Scoffs lightly ] It doesn’t matter how talented you are if you get a bad rep for being difficult. We’re here to talk about the song. So…let’s do that. I wonder if esme’s been living in port charles all this time. I think she posted on social media a few days after the trial from the south of france, but it could have been faked, I suppose. Well, either way, she left and came back, or she never left at all. But it is possible that she could have attacked ava way back in — in august.

[ Sighs ] Hm.

[ Sighs ] And everyone gets to speculate about that except us. No, don’t drag me into this. Okay. Everyone gets to speculate about that except me because of you. No, you could speculate all you want.

I’m not allowed to join in, but you guys go ahead. You know what, dante? What? You’re no fun. Ooh. No kidding. At all. You are. Thank you. Thank you. All right, if we can’t talk about the case, let’s talk about food. Ooh. I like food. What’s sonny cooking for thanksgiving? Uh, it sounds like he’s cooking a whole bunch of stuff, like, way too much food. Yeah. There’s gonna be leftovers for weeks, so it’ll probably go bad. Um, you’re good with the kids spending thanksgiving eve with you, right? I’m not cooking. I know. The oven will be off. Okay. I’m ordering in. We’re gonna have a little picnic on the floor in the living room. Nice. And you’re not disappointed that the kids are gonna be at the q’s for thanksgiving? Why would I be disappointed?

[ Breathes sharply ] Alright, besides, I get to have them all to myself tonight. What are you guys doing? We are gonna go to sonny’s after we drop the kids off at the q’S. And then after we go to sonny’S…

[ Chuckles ] …We’re gonna go back to the q’s for pizza. I guess there’s gonna be, like, a big crowd at the quartermaines’, huh? Sounds like it. The usual. Plus, my mother invited cody to go out, which is — I don’t think he’s gonna be into that at all. So I’ll probably have to go down to the stables and take a beer to him so he doesn’t spend the holiday alone. Cody’s not spending thanksgiving with britt? I don’t know. He didn’t say. So is britt spending tomorrow with you and scott? Unless she gets a better offer. Oh, you’re talking about cody. So, are things getting serious between them? Well [Clears throat] Not yet, but it is inevitable. What do you mean? I don’t know how to say it. I never have. I tried to make it go away. I — I figured if I just didn’t acknowledge it… “it”? You —

[ Sighs ] My father’s legacy. The only thing he ever gave me. You’re talking about — I-I — I’ve tried to, you know, put faison out of my mind. And it — and it actually worked. I mean, of course, he’d pop up every now and then. But he’d never linger. Now I’ll remember him for the rest of my life. However long that is. Don’t talk like that. Your dad’s dead and gone. Yeah, but he left some things behind. Okay, well, then throw them away. I can’T. Sure you can. You can just give it to me. How will you and sonny be spending thanksgiving? Sonny’s hosting. Is he? I confess I’m surprised. Why, aunt liesl? Family’s very important to sonny. I don’t mean this to sound harsh, but who in his family’s still speaking to him? His daughters. Ah, yes, the, um — the toddling ones. No, and kristina… tj and molly. But I am sure they have other plans already. Anyway, all family are welcome. Even that ingrate michael. Willow wants to find her birth parents, huh? Yeah, and any other relatives who might be out there. Carly: Oh, my god, it’s true. Nina’s willow’s mother. I-I’m curious. What changed her mind? I feel like such a coward leaving michael to deal with his mom when I’m the one who wants to keep my condition private. Hey, michael can deal with his mother. And you’re facing leukemia. You should feel free to handle that any way that works for you. I know that everyone would be supportive if I told them, but I cannot risk wiley finding out that I am sick. It would scare him too much. Okay, well, we will tell him when the time is right. And if that is many years from now, even better. Here’s hoping. Right now [Sighs] I want to keep this as quiet as possible.

Good news?Uh, it could be. If brook lynn would get back to me. How are things with you and brook lynn? Uh, w-well, it’s pretty good, but this — this isn’t really about us. It’s, uh, the civilian complaint review board. They’re gonna re-evaluate chase’s case. Oh, that’s good. Is he gonna get his badge back? Well, I’m hoping he does. Mm. Well, I hope he does, too. You know, it’s not easy to lose your job. It’s hard to bounce back. Yeah, and I thought you were happy at the invader. I’m okay.

[ Cellphone chimes ] You know, I’m very lucky that I had a second chance at a career. Uh, you know what? I’m sorry. But I — I gotta go deal with this. Mm-hmm. Well, duty calls? Yeah, something like that. Anything you’d like to add? Mom! On or off the record? Thank you for lunch. See you. Perhaps the reason you’re not the distraction I hoped you’d be is because robert is busy waiting for anna to tire of valentin.

[ Waves crashing, buoy bell ringing ] As valentin has tired of you? Why is it that your one and only son isn’t by your side, aiding and abetting your crimes? You’re gonna be so lonely when you finally create whatever ridiculous world it is that you’re forging and you have absolutely no one to share it with. Careful how you tread, missy. Lest I teach you the true meaning of loneliness. Oh, I’m very sorry. I take it back. You know how loved you are… as I know how much robert loves me. As you love him? Doesn’t matter how I feel about robert. The only person I care about at the moment is my son ethan. And I want to talk to him. Oh, well, I’m afraid he can’t come to the phone right now. If I don’t speak to him, how do I know that the worst hasn’t already happened? Oh, come on, holly, don’t be so melodramatic. You get that proof-of-life photograph of him every day, don’t you? Photos prove nothing. Well, I’m afraid you’re just gonna have to trust me, then. As you’re going to have to trust that I will take care of robert. Give it to you? Well, I mean, yeah, you — you didn’t want it anymore, and it probably belongs to me, so, you know, win-win, right?

[ Chuckles ] What are you talking about? Your father’s legacy. The necklace.

[ Scoffs, chuckles ] You think this is about a necklace? Well, I mean, it’s hardly just a necklace, but, you know… of course. Wait, wait, wait. Of — what else could you be talking about? Of course! It’s about the $35 million in jewelry on my desk! I mean, after all, the only thing you care about is getting rich, right? Wait, wait. No, no, I — I — I can’t believe I’m even surprised. It was the necklace you wanted! I was just here! Wait, hold — okay, all right, britt, this is — I don’t — t-this conversation just took a massive wrong turn. What — I didn’t mean t– y-y-you didn’t mean what? You didn’t mean for me to let my guard down? You didn’t mean for me to be vulnerable for five minutes after you’ve been grilling me for months?! Yeah, I wanted to get to know you! Oh, sure you did. So you could get that stupid necklace! Well, you know what? You want it so bad? Here you go. Here you go and get out. I’m not sure what you think is missing. I mean, you’ve got some huge vocal moments in here. It’s — you — right here and — yeah. It’s — it’s not the song, per se. The song is actually great. So when you were complaining before… totally posturing.

[ Both chuckle ] I love it. But when linc talked about taking me in another direction… this is not what I had in mind. What’s wrong with the direction that you’re on?

[ Laughs ] Please. Between the wigs and the costumes… half the time, I don’t recognize myself. Fair enough.

[ Chuckles ] And what direction did you want to take this? Honestly? I wanted a folk song. You like folk?

[ Chuckling ] Yeah. What’s wrong with it? No, not a thing. It’s just a 180 from your usual songs. Ah. My first manager came up with my look, and I went along with it. Linc signed me as a pop singer. Now, linc says that my fans won’t accept me singing anything else. But I want the chance to try new things, don’t you? No, not really.

[ Both laugh ] I — I like things that I know. Ah. Singing standards. Like being a cop. Like in the village people?

[ Laughs ] No, no. I-I was a detective with the pcpd. I kind of fell into singing. ? Uh, I wouldn’t say that. Well, with, the, um — you know, the baby coming, we — we decided that it’s, um, it’s important to know as much as possible about willow’s family medical history. Mm.

[ Footsteps approaching ] That makes sense, yeah. So how are you going about finding your birth parents? Well, um, willow and I’ve been doing our own research. But, uh, also, drew offered to help. Did he? Sorry, I’ve got to run, but happy thanksgiving, everyone. Tj, what are you molly doing tomorrow? Yeah, um, m-my mom’s coming over to our apartment to celebrate, and alexis is going to sonny’s, which would be super awkward, so we won’t see her until friday. Why would that be awkward? I-I — I th– I thought you knew. Uh, knew what? What? All right. What now?

[ Sighs ] Nina accused willow of sleeping with tj, and sonny believed her. What are you waiting for? Congratulations, your plan worked.

[ Chuckles ] Now get out of my office, out of my life. Ah, dr. Westbourne. Oh, sorry to interrupt. Looks like you’ve had a break-in. No. I wanted it like this. Yeah, well, your call, I guess. What’s in the case? None of your business. If it’s a $35 million necklace recovered from peter august, yeah, it’s my business. And, uh, I have a warrant here for it. Hand it over.

You and brook lynn?

[ Scoffs ] And you were giving me a hard time about linc. That is completely different.

[ Chuckles ] Brook lynn is more than just my manager. Well, clearly. She’s also my best friend. We’ve helped each other through a lot. And this whole…business arrangement between you two. From what you’re saying, it seems pretty one-sided. No. We’re both committed to this relationship. But you’re still doing what she wants, not what you want. Well, singing may not be as fulfilling as police work, but I’m happy to do it for brook lynn. I would do anything for her. And I know that she’d do anything for me. What you need to accept, brook lynn, is — can’t wait for this pearl of wisdom. You’re old news. What do I need you for when I have blaze? And when I’m this close to signing magdalena perez. Magdalena perez? She can’t be more than 17. She’s 18. And don’t let the name fool you. She’s no virgin. You’re disgusting. I thought I could stomach working with you, but nope! Wrong. Fine by me.

[ Sighs ]

[ Chuckling ] Oh, no. This definitely will not be fine for you. Because from this moment on, I will not let you harass one other person. Oh, is that right? Whatcha gonna do, blq? I’m gonna expose you for the creep that you are. I’m gonna tell everyone how you treated me when you were my manager. I just have one question — if I was so awful back then, then why are you working with me now? Hm? Do your worst, brook lynn. No one’s going to listen to a bitter has-been. Oh, linc… it won’t be just me. So what was t-the face about? What face? The face you made when dante mentioned cody. Cody hinted that dante may have done something, maybe something illegal, when he was younger. You mean like egging cars or going on a spree of bank heists? Mom, I don’t know. He didn’t get into details, but he made it sound serious. Okay. What age are we talking about? Dante said that they lost touch when they were like 16, so I imagine it would have to be before that. Well, did you ask dante about it? No. Why not? What are you thinking? I don’t know. It’s cody. He’s probably exaggerating. Yeah, yeah, there you go. But I — I have this instinct that I need to know what happened. Nina lives to cause trouble. And sonny knows you would never do something like that. Well, at least he should. Nina claimed she was worried about how my affair would

[Breathes sharply] Affect wiley. Of course nina used wiley as an excuse. That woman never stops. She tried to make sonny think there was something going on between me and brick. Hey, what? Oh, my gosh. Yeah. I’ll explain later, I got to go. See you later. So you engaged in a little gossip and got it wrong. Really wrong — like twice. Did you destroy michael and willow’s saccharine union? No. [ Sighs ] Then they have no cause for complaint. And if they try, let me know. No, no. No, thank you. Mnh-mnh. I think I can handle it. It’s just… the tension with michael — it really upsets sonny, and I don’t like to see him hurt ’cause he feels things very deeply. And sonny is treating you well, as he should? I’ve never been happier. Maybe next year, we —

[ Laughs ] What? No. No! This — I was — I was gonna say maybe next year we could have thanksgiving together. But, you know, with sonny and me and britt and cody and [Chuckles] You and scott. But we both know that’s never gonna happen. You can’t just walk in here and take my necklace. It’s my necklace, jackass. You just gave it to me. It was a futile attempt to shame you. Were you really gonna take it? No. But you can’t have it. This warrant says I can. And as per the state of new york, we have reason to believe that the diamonds in that piece were obtained, uh, unlawfully. So, until this is resolved, it stays in our possession. Officer. Hand over the necklace, sir. Best not to resist. Robert scorpio, your friendly neighborhood da, and, uh, until recently, almost your uncle. Yeah, close call. Apparently. Sir? For pete’s sake. Here, take it. Hm. Yep, fits the description. Britt: Well, come back any time. You’re on the wrong side of my door. Get out. Wait. If you weren’t referring to the necklace, what’s this legacy you were talking about? Now, from here, I need you to escort me around to the, uh, metro court hotel, then I want you to head back. Maybe I should stick around? You know…I think I can handle this. Besides, I’ve got the bureau guys coming over for the, uh, diamonds here. But, you know, uh, why don’t you cuff this to my wrist? Good idea. There we go. Good. Figure that ought to do it.

[ Cellphone rings ] Yes? The package has changed hands. Scorpio has the necklace. What? Well, how? He came to westbourne’s office with a cop. But don’t worry, I know where he’s headed. Excellent. .

once I go public, other women you’ve harassed over the years will come forward. I mean, we’ve seen it happen time and time again. All I have to do is light a match. And your reputation, your career, your family will go up in flames. You are kind, sweet, and genuinely easy to work with. Well, I thank you.

[ Chuckles ] Get out of this business. While all of that is still true. I’ve gotta run. New costume fitting. I have to make sure I can breathe in it.

[ Both chuckle ] Well, it’s good working with you. And think about what I said, okay? Oh, thank you. Oh, hey. Uh, hey, you’re, uh, you’re blaze, right? I am, indeed. Oh, cool. My — my son is — he loves you. He’s a big fan. But you don’t? No, I-I do. I am. I-I just didn’t recognize you without all of the stuff. Disappointed? No, not at all.

[ Laughs ] Thank you. Yeah, have a good one. Hey, did you get her autograph? No, but I should have. Rocco would have loved that, man.

[ Chuckles ] What is blaze doing in port charles? We’re actually working on a song together. What? Dude, that’s amazing. Look at you. [ Chuckles ] We’d better head upstairs. First day of chemotherapy. You’re gonna do great. If you need anything at all, do not hesitate to call. I won’T. Thank you, tj, for all the support. Yeah, thank you. You, um — you’ve been a great friend.

[ Sighs ] You ready? Absolutely. Okay, let’s go. Nina, uh, do you have a second? Um, uh, sure. Uh, how can I help you? I was just wondering, um, why are you so sure that esme is the hook killer? Well, that’s really something you need to talk to ava about, not me. But you’re living with her, right? Yeah. So I-if esme were to attack again, you could be in danger. Well, how about this? I’ll talk to ava about it, and she will give you a call. Good? Okay. You okay here? This hook story keeps getting bigger and bigger and more dangerous. And people keep promising me information that they’re not giving me. All the while, I’m sitting on what I know that could be helpful. You’re talking about the letter the killer sent to you? Yes, I am. I held back and didn’t print anything in exchange for jordan giving me an exclusive. She’s giving me the runaround, and I’m worried about waiting. What are you gonna do? What are you still doing here? Leave! No. No. No, no, no. I-I want to know about this — this legacy that faison left you.

[ Scoffs ] Why? It’s not anything you could sell.

[ Chuckles ] I made a mistake. Okay?

[ Laughs ] I was truly just trying to help you, though. How? By — by — by taking $35 million off my hands? Well, it didn’t seem like you wanted it. And if I’d known that you were talking about something else, I would have — I was.

[ Sighs ] Goodbye. For good. Okay, so what? What? Are we at that point where you’re gonna slam the door in my face? Again, britt, I made a mistake. I’m sorry. Look, I know…that you have a hard time opening up, just like I have a hard time not putting my foot in my mouth. But I can’t be expected to have the perfect reaction all the time. I wasn’t expecting you to have the perfect reaction. I-I-I would have taken… hell, somewhat less mercenary. Please, just tell me, what will it take for you to give me the benefit of the doubt? More than I have to give.

[ Knock on door ] Come in.

[ Sighs ] What is going on here? Absolutely nothing. Do you understand? Good. Well, holly. Your time has come. Meaning? Meaning robert has acquired something I want. It’s in a briefcase. He’s on his way to the metro court. Your job is to intercept him and get the briefcase. Sounds easy enough. One little wrinkle — briefcase is handcuffed to his wrist. Well, he’ll have to uncuff at some point. No matter. Tonight, when he’s asleep, I’ll steal it. Ah, yes, but, you see, the wsb are on their way to recover the contents of that briefcase as we speak. How the hell am I supposed to get around that? Well, I don’t know. You’ll think of something. Let ethan be your inspiration.

This is alexis davis, editor-in-chief of — of the invader. If you would be so kind as to give commissioner ashford a — a message for me. Yeah. Tell her that I will be printing the letter that the hook killer sent to me in full — it’ll be on the front page of the paper tomorrow.

[ Breathes deeply ] Ask her if she has any comments.

[ Monitor beeping ] I did nothing wrong. No woman ever told me “no.” I did, several times. You overreacted. The only reason women keep quiet about you, the only reason women hold their noses and let you touch them is because you’ve convinced them that, if they don’t, their careers will go bye-bye. Well, fortunately for me, I don’t have to worry about my singing career anymore. And fortunately for them, they won’t have to worry about you anymore. Not when I become their manager. Oh, what, you’re going to poach my clients? That’s right, linc. Not only am I going to expose you — I’m going to completely ruin you. I will destroy you. Or… you could get your songs back. I’ve been leaving all these messages for brook lynn. I had to come here to track her down. Cut her some slack, okay? Brook lynn has been working 24/7 — promoting my new single, booking gigs — you name it. Hey, man, that’s — I’m really happy to hear how well everything’s going for you. Thanks. I can’t complain. Well, I bet not. I mean, look, this new career you got. Maybe she doesn’t have to write that letter. What letter?

[ Door closes ] Here, let me help you. Please don’t! Britta, what has happened?

[ Voice breaking ] Nothing! Nothing. It’s just one more mistake is all. Oh, meine tochter. Couples argue. That doesn’t mean it’s over. We’re not a couple! Not really. But you were well on your way. Perhaps, in time — I-I don’t have time, mother. Britta, please. You have to tell me what’s wrong. Then I can help you. There’s nothing you can do.

[ Scoffs ] I’m sick.

[ Breathes deeply ] What you’re asking is impossible. Nonsense. You’re ideally placed to retrieve that necklace from your ex-husband, provided you’re not lying to me and robert still trusts you. It’s not a question of trust. It’s a question of logistics. Then what are you waiting here for? You better get going, holly. Before the wsb get their hands on that briefcase.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Douglas: Dad’s gonna be so mad at me.

Steffy: Hey, you don’t worry !@ So, thomas really did this? He used your app. He called cps pretending to be brooke.

Douglas: Ya, so granddad would leave her, and marry grandma taylor.

Taylor: You know, I hate to even say this but, thomas, I wish your father would have told me that brooke made that call to cps. I mean, he told me that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me, and he said it had nothing to do with brooke. But I believe him.

Thomas: Okay, mom. I need you to listen to me. Dad promised the reason he wants to be with you is because he loves you. He loves you and he always should have been with you. So, this has nothing to do with brooke or any of her horrible actions, all right? Never forget that.

Taylor: I won’T.

Ridge: Hey, dad.

Eric: Yah.

Ridge: Hate to tear you away from yourself, but I appreciate you having the ceremony here today.

Eric: When did I ever turn down a wedding ceremony in this room? Especially, one of yours.

Ridge: When you don’t approve, maybe?

Eric: I never said that, ridge. I never said that.

Ridge: You didn’t have to.

Eric: Look, I know how you feel about taylor. I do. And if you want to spend your life with her, I think that’s fine. I’ll support you.

Ridge: Tell me about the “if”, what is that–

Eric: If it were brooke, I would support you teeny tiny bit more, because I know how you feel about her. Are you sure you wanna do this? You sure you want to commit to taylor.

[ Sighs ]

Brooke: Are you really doing this to us, ridge? Are you really marrying taylor?

Katie: What about brooke? Ridge is marrying taylor. Now you’ve got another chance.

Bill: The chance I wanted, the one more chance that I asked for over and over again was with you.

Bill: You’re the only woman I want. Come back to me, my katie.

Katie: Bill, I know what happened after brooke came back from aspen. How you rushed over here. Just like I said you would. So, you can’t stand there with a straight face and tell me that you’re not here because you don’t want a second chance with brooke. I think I can read the situation a little bit better than that. My guess is that she turned you down and then, I come in and you’re like, “oh, katie!” Option 2. It was a good thing I walked in the door and not the gardener. I’m sorry, I don’t want to be flip. I don’t want to joke because I care about you. And I always will. We have meant so much to each other, we have been so many different things to each other. We’ve been lovers, husband and wife, and you’re the father of my son. And, and I love the father that you’ve become. I love watching you with him. And bill, I just want you to be happy. I really do. Mmm, and I want to be happy too. I mean, you can’t make me happy, because you’re not happy. You can’t give me what I need and frankly, what I deserve. I deserve a man whose mine. I deserve a man who loves me, and only me and I want to look in his eyes and I want to see that I’m the only one in his heart. That man is not you. I’m gonna go check on brooke.

Carter: Are you kidding me? What you said to katie just now, right after saying the same thing to brooke? Thank god she turned you down. Katie deserves a hell of a lot better than you.

Ridge: Dad, I know you mean well–

Eric: Ridge, are you absolutely certain you want to marry taylor because of brooke’s cps call that she made, are you sure?

Finn: Hey, hey.

Kelly: Grandpa. Grandpa. You’re getting married.

Ridge: I am? When?

Kelly: Today.

Ridge: Good thing I’m wearing a bow tie.

Finn: Is hayes–

Eric: He’s in the den with amelia.

Finn: Okay, great. Come on, kelly. Let’s get you settled with them.

Ridge: Bye.

Li: Congratulations. I’m so happy for you and taylor. I can only imagine how excited she is right now.

Ridge: Mmm.

Taylor: You know one thing that I’m really, really excited about today?

Thomas: What’s that?

Taylor: You and your sister are in the wedding. I am so happy about that. You know, I am so proud of both of you. That you, thomas, the way you’ve turned your life around.

Thomas: Well, you know. You– you have helped me, you help everyone, but you’ve helped me so much. And if there ever was a time if I can every return a favor, I will. All right? You can count on me.

Taylor: I love you so much.

Steffy: You’re certain, douglas?

Douglas: Dad admitted it. He told me I had to delete the app and forget about it.

[ Steffy sighs ]

Douglas: You know, I should have listened to him and kept his secret. But, it’s just not right.

Steffy: You’re right. It isn’T. Don’t you worry about your father, okay? I’ll take care of him. Hi, I’m darlene

Bill: Well, well, well. If it isn’t mr. Nuptials-r-us. Shouldn’t you be presiding over a wedding right about now?

Carter: Shouldn’t you stop lying to katie? She’s a smart, sophisticated woman, bill. She’s not about to be someone’s second choice.

Bill: You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Carter: How do you not get it? How do you not get how extraordinary she is.

Bill: That’s why I married her, twice. And what do you give a damn how extra– oh.

[ Laughs ] Okay. Stay away from katie.

Carter: You have no right to ask me that–

Bill: I wasn’t asking.

Carter: You were just promising–

Bill: I don’t care what I was promising brooke. Katie is my ex-wife. The mother of my child. She is and always will be “my” katie.

[ Knocking at door ]

Taylor: Yes.

Li: Taylor, it’s li finnegan.

Taylor: Oh, come in. Hi.

Li: Hi. I just wanted to wish you well.

Taylor: Thank you. Thank you so much.

Li: Mmm. I promise I won’t take too much of your time. I know you probably still have a million things to do.

Taylor: No, no. Actually, I am okay. I’m pretty calm, somehow. I’m actually pulling off a no stress wedding.

Li: As you should. You deserve a relaxing and joyful ceremony. And reception, too. No nasty surprises like what happened to finn and steffy.

Taylor: No. No nasty surprises. Today is going to be perfect.

Li: It is.

Eric: Shouldn’t carter be here by now?

Ridge: He’s actually doing me a favor. He went over to brooke’s, but he should be here–

Eric: Wait, he went over to brooke’s?

Ridge: I have some cuff links that taylor gave me a long time ago and they’re over there, and I want to wear them today for obvious reasons.

Eric: Uh-huh.

Ridge: And I didn’t want to be the one to get them–

Finn: For obvious reasons.

Thomas: There he is. Wait till you see mom. She’s gonna take your breath away.

Ridge: I’m sure she will.

Thomas: She wanted me to send stef in with– where is stef?

Eric: She’s upstairs. She’s checking on douglas.

Woman’s voice: His father, thomas forrester is unstable. He has a knife.

Steffy: It sounds just like her.

Douglas: But it isn’T. Don’t forget, the app can turn any recording into someone else’s voice.

Steffy: Okay. Okay, play me the original. The one your dad made, okay?

Thomas’ voice recording: Hello. I’d like to report a child in danger. His name is douglas forrester. He’s at 369 willow hill road, los angeles. His father, thomas forrester is unstable. He has a knife.

Thomas: Douglas. What have you done?

Steffy: No, thomas. What have “you” done? How could you do this? What the hell? How could you be so cruel? If you’re on medicare,

Carter: Your katie? You think she’s a piece of property, part of your portfolio?

Bill: She’s part of everything that I am. And beyond that, what I think about my wife, is none of your business.

Carter: “Ex” wife. And you should know, I’m making katie and her happiness, very much my business. Especially since you professed your love to her right after you did to brooke. You had your chance with katie, and you threw it away for her sister. She deserves a man who can commit to her, and only her.

Bill: And that man is you? You and katie.

Carter: Well, as you put it, bill, it’s none of your business. Good talk. I gotta grab something and go officiate a wedding.

[ Door closes ]

Li: Oh ridge, your bride looks lovely.

Ridge: That’s what I’ve heard. Looking forward to seeing that for myself.

Finn: Well, won’t be long.

Ridge: Wont’ be long, unless she decides to make a run for it, ’cause–

Eric: I don’t think that’s gonna happen.

Li: Agreed. Nothing is stopping taylor from marrying you, today.

Thomas: Cruel? No, no, no. Come on. There must be some kind of misunderstanding. You know kids and their apps.

Steffy: No, don’t blame this on your son. It was you.

Thomas: Douglas, will you tell her, please, about the app.

Steffy: Stop. Stop lying. Stop it. And don’t you dare take this out on your son. He shouldn’t be punished for telling the truth. Douglas, you did the right thing.

Douglas: I know but, I just wish dad knew it, too.

Steffy: Let me talk to your father. Why don’t you go to the den and hang out with amelia, hayes, and kelly, all right?

Douglas: Okay, aunt steffy.

Steffy: Do you mind if I take your phone? I just want to make sure your father doesn’t delete any of the brooke files.

Thomas: Yeah, bud, go ahead. Hang out with your cousins.

Thomas: Now you’re gonna pretend to feel bad for brooke?

Steffy: I feel bad for your son. Douglas should never be put in this position.

Thomas: I can’t believe he got those files back. He’s a smart kid.

Steffy: Files, framing brooke. How could you do something like this?

Thomas: Yes, I did that and I got our parents back together. What is it with all the fake outrage?

Steffy: Okay. Wait till they hear what happened.

Thomas: No, no, no. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa. What I did is what got our parents to come back together. So, no one should stop that from happening. You shouldn’t do a damn thing.

Carter: Sorry that took me so long. There was a situation I had to take care of.

Ridge: Involving brooke?

Carter: No, don’t worry. She didn’t see me grab those. Those are them, right?

Ridge: Yeah. Thank you.

Carter: It’s beautiful. Again, I’m sorry. I got here as soon as I could.

Eric: No worries, carter. You could have taken as much time as you wanted. We can’t start without you.

[ Laughs ]

Carter: That’s a good point.

Eric: Ridge, you want help with those?

Ridge: Nah, I think I got it. Thank you.

Eric: Okay. Look at this. Look how beautiful she is. Let me look at this dress.

Li: Thank you so much.

Eric: I saw it when you came in, but my goodness.

Li: This is your dress.

Finn: Should we take a picture?

Eric: Yes. Sure.

Finn: Let’s take a picture. Ridge.

Ridge: What?

Finn: Would you mind taking a picture of us?

Ridge: No, I got it. Nothing to do at all. Okay.

[ Laughs ]

Ridge: Yeah. All right. Here we go. Big smiles, everybody.

[ Laughs ]

Ridge: Okay. Got it.

Eric: Thank you. Nice.

[Indistinct conversation]

Brooke: This will never make sense to me. Why? Why are you giving up on us, ridge? Why?

Thomas: All you have to do is keep quiet, then mom and dad become husband and wife again. And brooke is out of our lives for good.

Steffy: Something I desperately want, but not like this. Not based on lies and deception.

Thomas: Yeah, ’cause you are are always on the up and up. Breaking into security systems and blocking phone calls–

Steffy: This is different, thomas. You called cps, pretending you were brooke.

Thomas: Okay, yeah. So, the one time that brooke doesn’t actually do something wrong? It would have happened eventually and dad would have gotten hurt.

Steffy: I don’t want dad to marry mom for the wrong reasons.

Thomas: She’s not marrying him for the wrong reasons. He says he loves mom and he want to be with her. Okay? It has nothing to do with anything brooke did.

Steffy: So then, tell the truth. Tell the truth. If dad is committed to mom, then he’s not gonna care if he finds out that brooke didn’t lie to him. It’s not gonna make a difference. They need to know what you’ve done, thomas.

Thomas: Absolutely not.

Steffy: Then, I’ll tell them. Try to stop me. I dare you.

Taylor: Honey, what is going on? I can hear you two fighting down the hall.

Thomas: Look at mom, isn’t she the most beautiful bride–

Taylor: Enough. Stop it. What could you two possibly be fighting about on my wedding day to your father?

Thomas: It’s really not that big of a deal. Honestly, I think we should all just go downstairs and grab a drink.

Steffy: Don’t listen to him. Don’t believe him. There’s something you should know.

Thomas: Let it go, stef.

Taylor: Okay. Somebody tell me, right now, what is going on.

Steffy: It’s about you and dad.

Thomas: Stop.

Steffy: We wanted this day for so long. We prayed for it. And now…

Taylor: And now– now, what?

Steffy: There’s something you and dad need to hear. Something thomas did that can change everything.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Come on one. I make heels and you walk so fast. I know, but Sweet Pits is about to close. I remember you saying how much you like the Flowerless chocolate cake. Huh? My watch must be slow. Where are they Just closed early. I mean, one of the owners was just accused of murder yesterday. Should have had dessert at the restaurant, Eva with no dessert.

I had a really lovely time. Yeah, it was our second first date. I wanted this one to be perfect. It was.

What are you up to now? Jen? What are you doing in Jakarta? Why don’t you return my calls?

So by the time you called me back, this is not just sister. Oh my God. Ro what the hell are you doing with my sister’s phone? I received your message warning me about Jin Van Only. It came too late.

Sorry, did you hear what I said? I have to tell you something. Sorry. I thought I saw a roach. I am getting paranoid

I,

something’s happened, hasn’t it? Something bad, something terrible, and I did it on an A P B out on a late model four door sedan drivers. A woman named Ava Vitali at 10 20 is a Salem airfield field. Victim’s name is Susan Banks. She might still be a passenger in the car, so I want all units to proceed with caution.

Ava Vitali is considered armed and extremely dangerous.

EJ is right behind you and seeing as he used to drive race cars, it’s only a matter of time before he catches up to. What’s the plan when he does

Eva? You’ve got no place to go now, but prison. Oh, better. Yes. Hell, and once I catch up with you, I get to decide what are you gonna do? You gonna drive all the way to Seattle. The Damaris will hunt you to the ends of the earth. You know that, just shut up. Okay. Shut up. I am trying to think. I didn’t say anything.

Oh, you know what? I, I, I, I’ll, I’ll stay. Shut up. But, um, just please, please Ms. Stanley, please just keep your eyes in descriptive. Romine, it would be horrible if we get to an accident. I be. Ej, look at you. You’re scared. EJ is the one who should be shaking in the boots, but you let him get the upper hand and now he’s chasing you.

You’re running away. Rule number one, vitals don’t run. You should have shot that son of a bitch when you had the chance. I am not scared. You’re crying like a baby because I lost everything, not everyth. Yeah, it’s true that Steve didn’t want you, Rafe didn’t want you. Jake Stead trip abandoned you to move across the country, but you, you still have me, mother.

I’m still here, and we can be together forever, just like I always wanted. And you can still win this. You can still hurt ej. You know what you have to do?

I don’t know. What the hell is he doing?

Oh my God. No, no, no, no, no.

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

Do you still want dessert? Maybe later. I am so glad I ran into you guys. She doesn’t mean that. No, really? I uh, just got my wedding invites. See, I wasn’t lying when I told you they were ready. Aren’t they great? The paper is Heritage Talk. They are lovely. And, uh, very heavy. You know, you can almost slit someone’s throat with these, well, hang on to them.

I’m gonna save me some time.

You want me at your wedding? Oh yeah. I wouldn’t want you to miss a celebration.

You still haven’t told me why. You have my sister’s phone. I saw all the calls you made to. You were right to be worried. She was here on a fishing expedition. What happened? Oh, she pretended that you’d sent her to me. She also pretended to know you’d used me to eliminate Stefan’s feelings for Gabby, but you told her she was wrong.

Unfortunately, I hadn’t received your warning yet. She knows. Damn. Where is she now at the moment? She’s somewhat, uh, indisposed.

You’re starting to scare me. Just tell me what you’ve done and we can figure out a way to handle it. I promise Sarah that I was a changed man, that her love changed me, but she finds out what I. She’ll never forgive me. She’ll see me. For what? I really,

I broke my word to you. I don’t understand. What do you mean you don’t have to do this? I’m not gonna tell. I promise. I promise I crossed my heart enough to. You know, the rest

hate.

I quit.

Bob,

I hope you two haven’t made New Year’s Eve plans because, well, if you have canceled them, cuz this party’s gonna be better than anything. You two can dream up. Okay, Gabby, listen actually, uh, Steph and I are probably gonna be out of town on New Year’s Eve. We were thinking of going someplace warm. Miami maybe.

Aren’t you? You’re working for Lee now, right? I mean that’s, that was a big step for you. No, I’m pretty sure Lee would want you at his wedding. I mean, for your sake. I hope you haven’t bought airline tickets. No. Cavi. We have not purchased any airline tickets. You can take this back and give it 20 of your friends because we’re not gonna need it.

Chloe is gonna be my plus one. How nice. It is nice when fate steps in and brings the right people together. Don’t you think

you have my sister in restraints and Johnny too? Two. Your sister and Mr. Damara arrived. But I didn’t know that. She engaged me in conversation inside the lab. Young Damara was hiding in the hallway and recording our conversation. I wouldn’t have known this was happening, but my equipment caused her microphone to feed back.

Surely. Now you understand that I had to detain them. How did she get onto this? H? How did Johnny get involved? All I know is what sound’s. Uh, destroying it will be simple enough, but that still leaves you with a problem. How to solve my sister and Johnny from going straight to Gabby? Once they get back to Sam, telling her everything.

Lucky for you. I haven’t been idle since you and EJ sent me to a Jakarta. I’ve been working on a robotics program that’s quite exciting. But to complete it, I require a set of human vocal chords. Two would be even better.

Are you talking about removing their vocal chords? Uh, it’s possible now, now you listen to me. I have a much better idea.

Wendy. Wendy. Wendy, are you awake, Wendy? Getting there. Um, what happened, see, I heard, was feedback from the mic. Yeah. My mouth was coming at me with a needle. Yeah. Yeah. I, uh, I found you, you, you were out cold. And then, uh, and Dr. Strange left, came at me with another needle. We. He spilled his guts. Not totally.

We still don’t know my dad’s involvement. God damn. Why do you have to figure out what we were up to? Because he didn’t get his reputation by being stupid. Yeah. When he comes back, he’s not gonna let us off with a warning, that’s for sure. I don’t think we can count on the local cops to come to the rescue.

We gotta find a way outta.

Yeah, this is Commissioner Ray Fernandez, a Salem pd. I’ve got a kidnapping here, so I thought I’d get the Bureau involved. Right. Yeah. It’s uh, it’s a high profile case. Victim’s name is Susan Banks, mother of ej d. Yeah, right. Those DMIs and the kidnapper is Ava Vitali of the Philadelphia Vitalis. Yeah, right.

I thought you’d be interested Now. Right now my 10 20 is the Salem Air Strip. I came here because e J’s brother told me that EJ was gonna be dropping off the ransom, and uh, well, it looks like things didn’t go as planned and Vitale may have taken off with Ms. Banks. Yeah, I got every one of my man out there looking for ’em right now.

Hold on a second. Yeah, I got one of ’em calling in right now. Yeah. What do you got?

Okay. How bad is it? All right, gimme the exact location and the crash, right? Damnit Eva. Dammit.

You quit your job, but you just started. You said it was such a great opportunity. Yeah, I know. A bit of a shot. I had no choice.

I still don’t understand the job. It just. It wasn’t what I was told it would be. Actually, there’s been a change of plans. I’m gonna go meet EJ and get the money and you’re gonna stay here. Stay here. Why to kill Susan? A boss asked me to do something that I knew was wrong and I thought of you and I. I just couldn’t go through.

Can you hear me? Don’t do it. Get my mother down there a kidnapped her. I know Tony told me David deliberately drove off the road bloody of mine. Get a damn hold to yourself. Okay? The rescue squad is on the way. They have a much better chance of getting your mother than you do. Okay? Look at that cliff.

Don’t see any chance getting down there, so I just stand here and do nothing. My mom is in that closet. Hey, thanks.

You told me that this rednecks company was legit. So what’s with your boss? Why is he asking you to do something dicey? Well, it wasn’t, he was a woman. None of that matters. Now I, it’s just like I said, she made the job had to be something that it wasn’t. I don’t were there anymore. What’d she want you to do?

Ah, I’d just rather not talk about it. I’m just trying to understand this thing that she wanted you to do that you didn’t wanna do. Was it unethical or was it worse than that? Right. Was it like cooking the books or something? Yeah. Yeah. Why that? Huh? That’s the case, and you did the right. And I’m really proud of you.

This is the chance. My mother.

My mother,

you know, we are in luck. I hear the chef is making his famous Creole tonight. Hopefully that will help us forget about our little run in with Gabby. I’m all for it. I just have a question. Okay. Raise your hand, Chloe. Um, why did you say that we wouldn’t dream of missing Gabby and Lee’s? Okay, well you weren’t there, so I don’t expect you to remember, but I certainly will never forget at Maya and Gabby’s wedding,

she played me as soon as we exchanged vows. She turned on me, kicked me right out of the house. So yeah, I can’t wait to see what she has in store for Lee. You think she’s gonna do the same thing to him? I don’t know, but I know she doesn’t love him yet. She’s making a big to-do about the wedding. I can’t wait to find out why.

Before we hang up, I want to know you are clear on what I want.

Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. , Justin. So we’re on the same page. Good. When my sister gets back home, she better be empty-handed.

Cubby, I didn’t, uh, hear you. What’s wrong with Wendy?

So you’re both of awake. You feel refreshed after your nap. You better let us go. Me brother will be mad as hell when he finds out what you did to us. Oh, I wouldn’t be so sure about that. What are you gonna do? Keep us strapped to these gurneys forever. I don’t take it too well when people come to me under false pretenses and then secretly record my conversation, oh yeah, that must really bother an honorable guy like yourself.

That recording you made. Four kitty. No one will ever get to hear it.

I demand to speak to my brother. Fred, you just listened. He and I had a very fruitful chat on your phone. Fruitful how he gave me strict orders to ensure that the two of you never tell anyone what you heard here today.

This will take a few seconds, so sit tight. Hmm. And I’d like to have a choice.

Thank you. Yeah. So you think Gabby doesn’t love Lee? Why? I don’t think Gabby is capable of loving anybody in case she’s too obsessed with money and. Why do you think she ended up with Lee? Hmm. Lee’s father is chairman of the board and can help her climb back on top of Tamara. The only question is, why didn’t Gabby just go for the old man himself?

He’s married. When has that ever stopped? Gabby cab? I dunno. I guess she figured maybe Lee would be more helpful and clawing her way back to the top. I don’t. And why is she so anxious to have you at her wedding? I don’t know. Well, I think I do. I don’t think it has anything to do with money or power. It has to do with you.

That was the head of the maintenance crew for the company Jet. You know how we suspected Wendy was playing hooky from work? Yeah. Well, she did it in style. She and Johnny commandeered the jet and took off for Indonesia. We Why? What’s in Indonesia? I could tell you if she would return my calls. And you have no idea why they went?

No, she and I were whenever that close. Right. So why is it that you were telling on the phone whoever that was, They needed to make sure Wendy was gonna come back empty handed. What are your faces gonna bring back?

So, Dr. Wolf, can I ask you something you can ask? I can’t guarantee an answer that will satisfy you. I’m trying to figure you out. Do you have like a soul feelings? Just anything good. Get to me. What do you mean a beautiful sunset? A great sushi Miles Davis. What are you trying to say? We’re here because of Gabby, because we think she got a rat deal from my brother, hey, and my dad.

Why would you come so far and put yourself in Graved danger for a personal means nothing to you? Because what happened to her is wrong. She just found out that Stephan is alive. He was the love of her life. Good. Now, Stephan wants nothing to do with. Hasn’t there ever been someone in your life meant everything to you?

Hey, maybe, maybe love is the farthest thing from your brain right now, right? But what if it just happens anyway? He was meant to be till someone like you screws it up. Doesn’t it scare you just a little bit? He’s messing with the natural order of things. It does, doesn’t it? Here’s one way you can make things right.

Just let us go. Just let us go and we’ll let Gabby know the truth. I let Gabby knows the truth. Little fools, she does know the truth. Only she’s forgotten. It sinks to this. You wanna find it just as effective on your memories of today, what’s in that needle? A handy little mixture. I invented, I call it c r s 17.

What does CS stand? Can’t remember stuff. . So you two will return to Salem believing that you came here for nothing. Is that so horrible?

There is one thing I’m curious about. Why did you say that quitting your job was such a terrible thing, Liz, isn’t it? You know how much I’ve wanted to find a good paying job, and I, I really thought I’d got it sorted and I was gonna be able to take care of you, killing me to walk away from that job. I feel like I’ve let you down.

Again, I know that you wanna be the provider, but it means more to me that you wanna make an honest living. You, you found out that this job wasn’t on the up and up and you quit. I admire that. Oh, don’t say that. No, I do. I love you so much. Oh God, Sarah, I love you. Mm-hmm. so much. I dunno what I do.

I need a blank.

It’s gonna freeze. Death. The fire’s almost out.

Freeze’s my mother. I’m sorry sir. No one could have survived that blast.

Even the most ambitious people are capable of falling in love, okay? Be that as it may, you know how many times I’ve told Gabby there is no chance for her and me. She doesn’t seem like the type to take no for an answer because that’s stubbornness. It’s all based in green for her, it’s not love. I saw her face after she saw us kissing and she was upset.

Right? So why would she react by waving her wedding invitation in her faces? I don’t know. But I’m sure she wish she wouldn’t have done that. . She is going to regret it even more the day of her wedding. You and I sitting front and center holding hands, we get it. Why do you wanna hurt?

No, I, I don’t wanna, uh, no, it’s not about that. I, I wanna get through to her. That’s it. I don’t care about Gabby enough to wanna hurt her, and I don’t care who she marries. Hey. I only care about you

saying I want Wendy to come back empty handed. That was just a figure of speech. I don’t want her shopping for souvenirs. I won’t her back in St. Lu tomorrow. Why though? I need people. I can count on not, not flighty girls who take off on a whim with a guy and, and go halfway around the world. What are you gonna do when she gets back?

Fire her on, give them a break. I mean, she and are actually kind of cute together. Cute. How? Oh, I ran into them in this square a couple days ago. I dunno. There was this energy between the two of them and I was curious, so I asked Johnny about it and he admitted that he has a crush on your little sister.

Oh, well. So let him take his fresh out to dinner. Not to Indonesia on his daddy’s jet. Johnny Damara is a spoiled little rat. No, someone’s a little angry. You’re angry. Yeah. I’m really angry. So what if Johnny took Wendy on a romantic getaway that was a little over the top? Just let them enjoy it.

Who wants to go first? Seems to be up to me. Mi mind catch, elaborate

Bear my manner. Ladies first, of course,

Oh, lucky for me. You have very good veins. Please don’t do this. Come, don’t say anything. You should have thought as the consequences before you lied your way into my lab. You’re going to feel a little pinched now. I forget your hands offer.

Well, I do know one talent that can make you a millionaire. If I was willing to share, which I’m not, stop it.

my time at rednecks might be behind me. But I did learn one thing I need to think about more than just money. When I’m looking for a job, I’m gonna be proud of the way I make my living.

Great job is out there. You’ll find it. It might be a bit tricky explaining why I can’t ask my old boss for a reference though. Yeah, but people leave jobs on bad terms all the time. It doesn’t mean that you have bad people, you’ll survive. I don’t wanna deal with that women anymore. So Do you want the shower first?

No, you go, I’ll be waiting for you. That sound to that

I’m sorry.

I wish the hell this hadn’t happened.

No reason to stay here though. Good morning. You can leave your car. I’ll have an officer take it to your place. You can ride with me down the headquarters. Headquarters. Why? I’m gonna need your statement ej about what?

Tony told me that Ava had kidnapped your mom, but he didn’t know the rest, so I’m gonna need that from you. Why he’s not gonna bring my mother back? Ej. Ava did this. I wanna make sure that we get it all into public record. I am not gonna relive this nightmare. For the sake of public record,

I’m going home. AJ

ej.

I am touched that you are standing up for my sister, but would you be so generous if you were still c e o and your new employee went for a joy ride on the company Jet? Okay, look, just think about it. What’s more important? Some wasted jet fuel or true love?

Gabby Hernandez, I do believe you’re an old softie. Hey, watch her. You’re calling old buddy.

All right. You’ve convinced me you don’t have to be consequences. She skipped out on work. Okay. Well just tell her that she’s crowned for a week. I promise not to overreact after all. No real harm was done.

You were great. You were so bad at yourself.

Yes, I promised you desserts. Uh, that’s okay. I’m over it. Me too. Although I hate to think we came back here for no reason.

Uh, I’m moving too fast on I. You’re still not over Brady? No, I’m not honestly, but I do wanna move on with my life. I mean, he moved Kristen into his house five seconds after we broke up, so to hell with both of them. Hmm. Well, if there’s anything I can do to help facilitate that transition,

Hi. This is turning out to be one of the best nights I’ve had in a long time.

oh my God. Ej, what happened?

Ej? Hey, are you okay? Ej, were you in an accident? No. Thought my mother was, she’s dead.

Oh, I love these. They look expensive as hell, but they’re still. That’s what I thought. Look, thought the box was already opened. Oh, I’m sorry. I couldn’t wait to take a peek. And actually I’m gonna, I’m gonna keep this one for myself as a reminder that this is actually happening. That it’s real. Oh, it’s real.

All right. But it’s December 31st, midnight. We’ll be a married couple. Yeah. Bringing in the New Year’s husband in life. I can’t wait

versus Lewis English. Dude, what do you think you’re doing? But you may have been able to destroy our recording, but uh, we can still undo everything that you did. And once we get back to. That’s exactly what we’re gonna do. I am going to tell Gabby personally what you did to step’s mind, and she is gonna come after you with more than a scalpel.

You ready to roll? Yep. Can leave me like this? Stop. While you’re a brilliant scientist, I’m sure you can figure your way out of it. Nice. Yeah.

What are you watching? Uh, news bulletin about Susan Banks’s kidnapping. Did they say who did it? Same thing that Bonnie told me. Some guy in a clown mask.

Then what was. The bulletin. Did Susan tell him who did it? Susan couldn’t say anything. She’s dead.

No more. Bruce? No. Want you to?

She’s

gone. It’s all my fault.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: Wow! Wow! Look at you. Let’S… yeah, let’s go celebrate.

Sally: Are you sure?

Nick: Are you kidding me? With that dress? We are hitting the town.

Sally: Well, terrific, although I do feel kind of bad because you have to be up at the office bright and early, and I don’t have anything on my schedule tomorrow until a mani-pedi at 2:00.

Nick: Don’t worry about me. I operate on minimal sleep. Besides, we have a lot to celebrate.

Sally: Yeah. What are we celebrating, me signing up for unemployment?

Nick: You gonna be doing that before or after your mani-pedi?

Sally: Oh, man, I don’t know. It depends on how late I sleep in.

Nick: See, I would think you’d want to get up at the crack of dawn so you could begin work on your project, which is potentially a very big deal.

Sally: Well, it is still in its embryonic stages. So, you know, there’s nothing to celebrate…yet.

Nick: Oh, this has nothing to do with work. This is about us.

Billy: Hey, sharon, um, how’s our friend upstairs doing? How’s chelsea? No, it’s okay. Lily knows. Actually, chelsea was the one that said that I need to tell her. She was actually adamant about it. She didn’t want lily to get the wrong idea.

Lily: I think what you and billy have done is amazing. I think you’re an angel.

Sharon: Oh, well, I don’t know about that, but, you know, I try to do the right thing whenever I can.

Lily: Yeah. So, now that you know I know, how is she doing?

Sharon: I don’t know. They’ve been up there for a while.

Billy: “They”?

Sharon: Yeah. You know, adam had some reservations at first, but he eventually did what chelsea asked. He brought connor over here so that she could tell him everything that’s going on.

Billy: Well, that’s a very sensitive and delicate conversation to have. I hope adam doesn’t screw it up. Did you tell connor?

Adam: Mm-hmm. It wasn’t easy, but I was truly impressed how chelsea was able to handle it. She was honest and candid. Got pretty emotional. But he seemed to understand.

Sharon: Well, I think his generation has a different perspective on mental health than what we grew up with.

Adam: He’s going to stay with her tonight. You know, he wants to be with his mom right now.

Billy: Did chelsea seem like she was, uh…

Adam: Billy, chelsea is strong enough to handle this on her own. She doesn’t need your support. She’s with her son. She’s okay. Just leave them alone.

Nate: That’s excellent, vivian. And you can send me all that data. Great. Great. I am especially interested in cross-referencing our audiences on our platforms with the top 100 advertisers. So, if you can highlight that for me, that would be amazing. Oh, really? Sally had you highlight that same material? Hmm. Interesting. That should make it easy, then. I’ll expect it soon. Thanks.

Elena: You look like you belong behind that desk.

Nate: Oh, and you are a sight for sore eyes.

Elena: Hi.

Nate: Hey.

Elena: How’s it going?

Nate: Well, it’s my first full day. I haven’t mastered all the nuances, but I did find the executive dining room, so that is a good start.

Elena: I’m sure you’ll figure it all out soon. For good luck.

Nate: Wow. Thank you.

Elena: Yeah, I just wanted to get you something to show you that I support you 100%.

Sally: Wow! This place looks great! Noah’s crushing it.

Nick: Thank you. Yeah, it is a success. I’m so proud of him.

Sally: Wow. I didn’t see him when we walked in.

Nick: Yeah, me either. He’s usually here every night. Maybe I’ll call him.

Sally: I’m sure he’s fine. It’s actually kind of nice, him not being here.

Nick: Why would you say that?

Sally: Well, without your son here to watch over us, we don’t have to keep things pg. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Nate: Wow. I love it. It’s all I want when I need a little inspiration.

Elena: And all I want is some dinner. Are you finished here yet? We should go celebrate.

Nate: Ooh, I would love that. But I have to get to a meeting with victoria.

Elena: This late?

Nate: We work around the clock here. But I tell you what. Why don’t you go to society, get us a table, order a bottle of their finest champagne, and I will be there soon.

Elena: You sure you’re going to be able to get away?

Nate: Look, everything’s been going smoothly and efficiently, so this meeting shouldn’t take long.

Elena: Okay, well, I will head there now. You know, it’s nice seeing you like this.

Nate: Like what?

Elena: Happy. Enjoying your work again.

Nate: Yeah, I am all of that.

Elena: Mm-hmm. I think it’s what was missing at chancellor-winters. And even though I hate how you got to this point, I really love that you’re here.

Nate: I can’t tell you how much your support means to me, and I look forward to celebrating with you tonight.

Lily: I am so glad that it went well for chelsea. I mean, that must have been a huge relief.

Sharon: It’s a step in the right direction.

Lily: I can’t even imagine how hard that conversation with connor must have been. I’m sure she’s happy it was successful.

Billy: Well, we don’t actually know if it was successful, right? I mean, we’re taking adam’s word on that.

Sharon: Well, I don’t think he would lie about something like this.

Billy: Oh, I wouldn’t be so sure. I mean, I’m sure he has the right intentions, but I’ve never trusted him.

Lily: Well, I think that i agree with sharon right now. I think that we have to take him at his word.

Billy: Sure. But I still think that I should go check up on her real quick, just to be safe.

Sharon: I don’t think you should go up there tonight.

Billy: Okay. Can I call her at least?

Sharon: I don’t know if that’s a good idea, either. She’s with her son. Don’t interrupt their time together.

Lily: Look, billy, I know that you don’t trust adam, but I know that you trust sharon’s expert advice.

Billy: Okay. I won’t bug her tonight.

Lily: You know what? Why don’t we go get dinner? I’m hungry. I know that you haven’t eaten all day.

Billy: I haven’T. No, that sounds really nice. Let’s go grab dinner. Sharon, if you do hear anything, can you just let me know?

Sharon: I will.

Billy: Okay. Thank you.

Lily: Noah, hi.

Noah: Lily, billy. Good to see you.

Sharon: Hey.

Noah: Billy didn’t try busting my chops. What’s wrong?

Sharon: Hopefully nothing. But something has been gnawing away at me, and it made me think of you.

Noah: Oh, yeah. What’s that?

Sharon: Well, I’ve been helping to treat someone recently who’s experiencing some mental-health issues, and it just made me wonder what it felt like for you when I was spiraling out with my bipolar disorder. Moderate-to-severe eczema.

Elena: Devon? Devon?

Devon: Hey.

Elena: Hey, what’s going on?

Devon: How you doing?

Elena: Wow. Whatever you were just thinking about really has a hold on you.

Devon: Oh. Just been a little distracted today.

Elena: Something big?

Devon: It’s just something that I’m having trouble figuring out. That’s all.

Elena: Can I help?

Devon: No, no, not at all. I appreciate the offer, though. But it’s something that I have to figure out on my own.

Elena: Ah. One of those “sitting alone at the bar with a drink” kind of problems?

Devon: That’s the one, yeah. What are you doing? You here by yourself, too?

Elena: No. I am meeting nate. Maybe when he gets here, we could all sit down and have a drink together.

Devon: Last thing I’d ever want to do is sit down and have a drink with a traitor.

Nate: Hey, you ready for me?

Victoria: Yes. Come on in. Thank you for staying so late.

Nate: There was a lot to do, even on my first day. So, did I screw something up? Is that what this meeting is about?

Victoria: No. There’s no report of anything going wrong. I just wanted to check in with you and see how it all went.

Nate: Well, it…it all went great. Staff was on top of everything. Today was mostly about settling in and going over all the projects in progress.

Victoria: Good. What did you find?

Nate: Interestingly enough, sally spectra had a lot going on. Every time I made a suggestion, the response was, “sally was doing that.”

Victoria: Oh, well, there’s no need to dwell on your predecessor’s performance.

Nate: I hope you don’t have a problem with me occasionally disagreeing with you, but i think we should talk about her work.

Victoria: And why is that?

Nate: Well, looking over everything, talking to the staff, evaluating places where we need to be stronger, I think sally was doing a really good job. She was implementing some strong, innovative ideas for this division.

Victoria: Those weren’t all her ideas. It takes a team effort, you know?

Nate: Of course, of course. But their leader had them on the right path.

Victoria: What are you saying, nate?

Nate: Look — don’t get me wrong. I am grateful for this opportunity, but I’m not sure why you brought me in to take sally’s place.

Sally: So, what does a celebration of us entail? Do we need, like, party hats or kazoos?

Nick: I would think we’re worthy of at least, like, a trumpet or a saxophone.

Sally: Okay. I like that. Uh, I’m sorry. I think there was a mistake. We didn’t order this.

Nick: Alright. I know who it’s from. Look over your left shoulder.

Sally: Great.

[ Clears throat ] Looks like he’s in the mood to cause another scene.

Sharon: You know, I didn’t mean to ambush you with that question.

Noah: It was definitely unexpected.

Sharon: Well, if it’s an uncomfortable subject for you, we don’t have to talk about it. I was just looking for some insight.

Noah: No, it’s okay. It was hard. Things were bad for you. But then you got help, and you came back stronger and more grounded. That was reassuring.

Sharon: Well, you know, when you’re in it, you don’t think about how it’s going to affect the people you love. You just are focused on yourself and trying to get better. And now I can look back, and I can see how difficult that probably was for you.

Noah: I think it was harder for faith. I was older. It was easier for me to process. Plus, I could do my own research, see what we were inyeah, you know, dad and I, we did our best to shield her from your more manic episodes,rong?

Noah: Nothing.

Sharon: You know, I thought something was on your mind when you came in, and now I’m certain.

Noah: Mom, I’d really rather not talk about it.

Sharon: Hey, I just told you, moms are going to worry. Don’t make me worry any more than I have to. What’s going on?

Noah: You said I’d understand one day when I was a parent. Well, it turns out I almost was a parent. Who says you have to spend more on skincare

Elena: How much harm could one drink with your cousin cause?

Devon: I don’t like him, elena.

Elena: Come on, devon.

Devon: What do you mean, “come on”? It hasn’t been that long since he did what he did to our family. And I thought the two of you split over the whole thing. You’ve taken him back?

Elena: He’s been remorseful. He knows how much he screwed up. He flew too close to the sun, and he got burned.

Devon: You know that he only came clean to us because he thought it would help getting you back.

Elena: I think he’s learned from this.

Devon: Oh. Well, is that why he’s never told us who he was working for? Even though we now know it’s victorian newman, and he won’t admit it. So, he’s still protecting the ceo who went after our company and who still might try and go after it.

Elena: I don’t think that’s going to happen. I think that’s all over.

Devon: How do you know that? Nobody does. And, like I said, the only reason he admitted anything to us is because you showed up to the office that day and put pressure on him to do it. If you hadn’t done that, he wouldn’t have said anything. And he and victoria would have stolen our company out from under us.

Elena: You really believe that?

Devon: I know it for a fact. He’s changed, elena. He’s not the same person he used to be. Hell, maybe he never even was that guy.

Victoria: Sally had some good ideas, but that did not make her a good ceo. There were a lot of dynamics at play. You know, the only reason she was here was because adam wanted to promote his then-girlfriend. She was not my choice. So, when I took over again, I had to make some changes.

Nate: So letting her go was payback for adam?

Victoria: No, I didn’t care about that at all. I mean, sally and adam had been broken up for a while. If I wanted to take a shot at him, I could have done something a little more effective.

Nate: Mm. So, you’re saying there’s nothing personal at all in your decision to dismiss sally?

Victoria: You know, people always say, “it’s nothing personal. It’s just business.” But there is always a personal element to every decision, isn’t there? If I had liked sally, would I have been more inclined to keep her on despite her — her flawed leadership? Possibly. But it’s not a bad thing to like the people that you work with.

Nate: Yeah. That hits pretty close to home for me right now.

Victoria: I thought it might. So, I would advise you not to focus on what sally did or did not accomplish. You have far more to offer than sally ever could. And that is why I made these changes.

Nate: Okay, that all makes sense.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] So, come on. Let’s not focus on the past. I don’t like to do that. We have a bright future. Why don’t we talk about that?

Nate: Sounds good.

Victoria: You’ve had a chance to look things over. So, what are your first impressions? How do you want to put newman media on top?

Nate: I’m excited. I can tell you that much. I don’t want to get into specifics. I need to get better acquainted with all the various projects. But I know I want us to be leaner. It’s good for the bottom line, and it makes us more agile, quicker to respond. Also, I’d like to create an environment where people with good ideas don’t have to jump through five levels of approval. They can initiate projects on their own.

Victoria: Well, I like that.

Nate: Once we have the structure and staff in place, we can create the culture and start to focus on the content.

Victoria: Good. Good. So, what are your thoughts on that?

Nate: I want to be sure we’re putting out quality across all platforms. I don’t want newman media associated with click-bait, cheap production values. We can build our audience without cutting corners.

Victoria: Okay, so you want our brand to be quality, but that goes up against your plan to streamline the staff. Putting out good content takes a lot of manpower. So, you do want to avoid that pitfall.

Nate: Good point. I appreciate that.

Victoria: But I love the direction. I want to encourage you to have big ideas. Create a dream list of all of your projects and go for it. Don’t worry about the cost right now — no limits.

Noah: Audra told me she had no intention of ever telling me about the miscarriage, but being here and seeing me just brought up all these old emotions. She thought that she should let me know.

Sharon: Well, I’m sorry that you’re going through this, especially with the way you found out.

Noah: Yeah, I’m still just trying to, you know, adjust to it all. Now I can’t help but wondering what if? What if I had stayed? Everything would have been different. And I know that I can’t know what it would be like if I’d found out at the time, but it just, um… it feels like a big loss.

Sharon: Well, I’m sorry. Again, I know how much a miscarriage can hurt. I know what it’s like to mourn a child who never was. And I know how long you can carry that pain with you.

Noah: If that baby had lived, um, it would be a few months old by now. You would have had your first grandchild. Ever leave your clothes in the dryer

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Elena: I guess we’re going to have to just agree to disagree about nate.

Devon: Or you can believe me.

[ Chuckles ]

Elena: You know I can’t, devon. So, let’s just not talk about nate anymore.

Devon: Oh, that’s a fantastic idea. How are you? How have you been? Good to see you.

Elena: You too. I’m good. How have you been? How’s amanda? I heard she’s back from virginia.

Devon: She is, yeah.

Elena: Well, that’s exciting. Is she planning to stay for a while?

Devon: Unfortunately, no, she’s not.

Elena: Oh. How come?

Devon: She’s just needed back there with her family for support. Going through a lot, you know?

Elena: Well, I know long-distance relationships can be tough, but no matter the distance between you two and how rough it might be to be apart, I think you’re both strong enough to make it through.

Devon: Well, yeah, that’S… hey, look who it is.

Lily: Oh, devon, hello. Hi, elena.

Elena: Hey!

Lily: How are you?

Elena: I’m good. Good to see you two.

Billy: What do you say? Should we share a table?

Devon: I’m going to go ahead and pass, just because she’s here to meet with our favorite cousin. So, I’m going to keep my distance at the bar, if you don’t mind.

Elena: Yeah, I understand if you want your privacy, but you’re both more than welcome to join nate and I.

Lily: Yeah, that’s going to be a no for me.

Billy: Yeah. Separate tables it is.

Lily: Yes. But I would love to catch up with you sometime soon, just the two of us.

Elena: I’d love that, too.

Lily: Alright, bye.

Elena: I’m going to grab a drink.

Devon: Have fun.

Billy: I’m surprised you didn’t say more about nate.

Lily: Well, I would have said more if he were actually here. But I’m not going to drag elena into our family issue. She doesn’t deserve that.

Billy: Lily, what’s wrong?

Lily: I don’t know. I’m just… I’m frustrated.

Billy: About?

Lily: Why didn’t you tell me about chelsea in the beginning? We live together. We share everything. Did you think I wouldn’t be sympathetic?

Billy: No, not at all.

Lily: Well, then what? Do you not trust me? Because if that’s the case, then what does that say about our relationship?

Noah: I just realized i didn’t even let you know audra was in town.

Sharon: No, you didn’T.

Noah: Somehow you knew.

Sharon: Um, yeah, mariah kept me in the loop.

Noah: Of course.

Sharon: I mean, I knew you would tell me at some point, when you’re ready, so I just — I never brought it up.

Noah: Allie is the only other one who knows about the miscarriage. I’d really like to keep it between us.

Sharon: Alright. I understand. How did she take the news?

Noah: I think it was a lot for her. You know, it’s hard for her to understand how I had no idea that audra was pregnant, but I really didn’T. If she was showing any signs of pregnancy, I didn’t see them. I didn’t even think that was a possibility at the time.

Sharon: You weren’t, um, you weren’t trying to have a baby, were you?

Noah: No, but I should have had some kind of clue. I mean, who doesn’t see that?

Sharon: I don’t want you to beat yourself up about this. You’re such a kind and loving person.

Noah: And there was nothing kind about the way that I broke it off with audra. I was — I was upset, and I was exhausted by all the drama, and I just — I just left. I didn’t even tell her. It’s no wonder she didn’t let me know she was pregnant.

Nick: You know, I don’t want to feel like I got to leave just because of my brother. On the other hand, I do want to sit over here and wait for him to cause a scene, just so we can prove a point.

Sally: So, if we leave, he controls us. And if we stay, he controls us.

Nick: Yeah, pretty much.

Sally: Well, maybe we should split up, head in different directions. It’s the only way to mess up his plans.

Nick: [ Laughs ] Is that what you want to do?

Sally: No, absolutely not. We cannot give him that power. He can’t dictate our moves.

Nick: What do you propose?

Sally: We stay, and we have our evening.

Nick: Well, then, let’s drink his wine.

This black friday, save

on all the gifts you need

Sharon: It’s not like you to leave a relationship without having a conversation first.

Noah: I’m not proud of it. You know, it’s just she created so much drama and turmoil, and it’s just I couldn’t take it anymore. So, I left. And apparently she lost the baby the night I moved out.

Sharon: Well, that doesn’t make it your responsibility. Miscarriages, especially in the early stages of pregnancy, are usually due to a developmental issue with it.

Noah: Still, if I had just stayed… you know, if I had just been there, I could’ve helped her. She wouldn’t have to do it all alone.

Sharon: Noah, you wouldn’t have left her in that situation if you had known. You were in a bad relationship, and you had to get out. And I’m sure that growing up around here, you had seen enough of that. You’ve seen it in your own household growing up with us. I know that my own issues I was dealing with didn’t help any of those matters.

Noah: I’m not going to blame you for anything I experienced in my childhood. Okay? You and dad were the best parents a kid could have. Every family has drama. You learn from it. You grow up. You try not to make the same mistakes.

Sharon: Well, I feel bad for you and audra. This is a tough situation. But you can’t change the past, and you shouldn’t beat yourself up.

Billy: I understand why you would be upset, but my discretion about the situation with chelsea had nothing to do with us. And it’s not a commentary on the state of our relationship.

Lily: I just feel caught between having this admiration for how you’re helping her, but then also this gnawing sense that helping her is not good for us.

Billy: I get that. I do. And I feel bad about keeping the severity of what’s gone down from you. But, lily, it just did not feel like my story to tell. I needed chelsea to give me the go-ahead in order to share anything with you.

Lily: Okay. So, even though I wouldn’t have told a soul, you still think it was the right choice?

Billy: I’m just acting on impulses here, okay? I’m improvising, ever since I saw her standing on that ledge. It hasn’t always guided me correctly, but it’s all I got.

Lily: So, then take a step back, okay? It’s not you and chelsea alone on the roof anymore. She has other people. She has sharon, who is a trained professional. She has her own doctor. She has adam, who knows her better than anyone and has a stake in her well-being. All of them are much better suited to help her than you are.

Billy: I made a promise to her, to be there for her, to help her through this. I can’t leave her high and dry.

Lily: You’re not, billy. You have done your part. You have done more than enough.

[ Cellphone pings ] Is chelsea okay?

Billy: She said connor’s sleeping, and she’s going to grab a tea at crimson lights, and she wants to talk.

Lily: Are you going to go?

Billy: No, I don’t want to leave you, not in the middle of this conversation.

Lily: No, you should go. It’s fine. I mean, if she’s reaching out, it’s fine. I understand.

Billy: I’ll be back. Okay, I’ll be back before our food even comes.

Lily: Don’t make promises you can’t keep.

Billy: Okay. That is a promise that is probably not realistic. But I will be back as soon as I can. I really just want to hear from her how the conversation with connor went. And I can also use this time to, you know, let her know that I’m going to be pulling back, that I’m going to let the professionals help in her recovery.

Lily: Okay. Thanks for listening.

Elena: [ Thinking ] Champagne is here. Are you on your way?

Nate: So, did you always want to work at newman?

Victoria: I wouldn’t say always, given the number of times that I’ve left.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Nate: Sorry about that. Thought I turned my phone off.

Victoria: Is that something you need to deal with?

Nate: Uh, it’s elena. We’re meeting for a late dinner.

[ Cellphone pings ] “Sorry. Meeting going long. Be there soon.”

Lily: Hey.

Devon: Hey. What happened with your dinner date with billy?

Lily: It’s been postponed.

Devon: He just rushed out of here like that?

Lily: Yeah, sure did.

Devon: Has he figured out what he’s doing with his life yet?

Lily: I hope not.

Devon: That’s an odd response.

Lily: It’s fine. Don’t read too much into it.

Devon: Well, there’s clearly something bothering you. Would you like to talk about it?

Lily: Um, I’m going to take a page from your book and say, no, I don’t want to talk about it.

Devon: Hmm. Okay. Well, then, I’m going to take that cue to go home since you do not want to talk about it. I hope that whatever is bothering you, you feel better about in the morning, though. Okay?

Lily: Thanks.

Devon: Love you.

Lily: Love you.

Sally: Well, it was a fun night, after all. Although just once, I would like to go out in this town and not run into an ex of yours or mine.

Nick: Yeah, I don’t know how that’s going to be possible, but I think we handled it about as well as we could tonight.

Sally: I agree.

Nick: Let’s go.

Adam: You guys enjoy the wine?

Sally: Uh, it was a little too sweet for me.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Maybe I should have sent over your favorite scotch instead.

Nick: Yeah, we were just taking off. We’ll have to catch up some other time.

Adam: Can I speak to you in private?

Nick: Can we not do this tonight?

Adam: It’ll just take a couple of minutes. I have something that I want to say. Please.

Sally: Just…just a second, okay?

Nick: Yeah.

Sally: You have two minutes.

Adam: Thank you. (Birds chirping)

Victoria: I actually — i developed my passion for the family business working in the mailroom back when we had a big mailroom. You know, back when we did everything on paper. I just remember loving how big the company was. And I loved to see how far newman enterprises’ tentacles could reach. It was — it was inspiring.

Nate: Then you worked your way up from there?

Victoria: Oh, I wouldn’t say that. I mean, I’m aware of my privilege. I know that my last name has given me this opportunity, but I have held positions at every level inside of this organization. And I know it. I know it inside and out.

Nate: You see, that’s why I’m excited to work for you. I want to learn from you.

Victoria: That’s good. But, you know you don’t have to flatter me. You already have the job.

Nate: I’m sincere. That was what interested me about having chancellor-winters under the newman umbrella. I felt like I could have thrived with your guidance. I mean, us just sitting here, trading ideas? That’s the kind of personal leadership I was looking for.

Victoria: Oh, good, because that’s the only way that I know how to work. But I have to tell you, I’m not always going to agree with you. And when I do disagree with you, I’m not always going to sugarcoat things.

Nate: Bring it on. I can take it.

Victoria: Don’t you have dinner with elena?

Nate: Yeah, but she’ll be fine. This is important. I feel like I’m learning a lot already. Plus, we have momentum. Let’s not stop.

Sally: How much have you had to drink?

Adam: I’m fine. Okay? I got here after you and nick did.

Sally: That’s not an answer.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Look — I, um, thank you for taking a minute to talk to me.

Sally: Look. You can’t keep doing this. Adam, you can’t keep showing up wherever I am and demand to talk to me.

Adam: I know. I know. I know. And I’m sorry for earlier. I was out of line.

Sally: Yeah, you were. And now you turn up here tonight.

Adam: I just… I came here to relax. I didn’t expect to see you and nick. But after seeing the two of you together, it’s eating away at me. I know that is a mistake, okay? You deserve better than that, sally.

Sally: Okay, well, you know, it’s none of your concern.

Adam: It is. It is. I feel like I’m the one who drove you into his arms, okay? I regret every foolish thing I did to drive you away. I want to be with you. We belong together. Marry me, sally.

Elena: Well, I am officially giving up and going home. I hope your night ends better than mine.

Lily: Yeah, we’ll see. It was good to see you. And, please, let’s catch up soon.

Elena: We definitely will.

Lily: Bye.

Excuse me.

Elena: Oh, sorry.

Lily: Daniel?

Daniel: Lily.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Breathing heavily ] Hey, there. Carly, hi. Hey. Out for a run? Yeah, just finishing up. Lucky me. You being here when I just happened by. Yeah. Quite the coincidence, isn’t it? Mm. Yeah. Hi. We have to be really careful. Somebody knows about us. Easy. You’re awake. Unless I’m dreaming.

[ Exhales sharply ] Your fever’s going down. How do you feel? Much better.

[ Inhales sharply ]

[ Groans ] How’s the side? Only hurts when I move. Okay. Here, hydrate. First of all… thank you. If you hadn’t taken care of me,I’d be totally screwed. You’re welcome. What’s the second thing? I need you to do something for me. Dex, it’s me. Three days is too long to go dark. One email is not enough. Get back to me. Now! Hmm. No word from dex on my end, either. I haven’t been able to track him through my sources. Thanks for the update. Yeah. That — that’s not the only reason I asked you here. Mm-hmm. Last night when I said that I was all cool with everything that went down with you and carly… I’m not.

[ Knock on door ] Come in. Hey. Hey. Dr. Talone’s on her way. Oh, joy. She’s a leading specialist in huntington’s disease, and her waiting list is usually months long, so… I appreciate the strings you pulled to get me a consult with her. But you don’t have to stay. I know.

[ Chuckles ] I mean, I can stick around if you want me to. Yeah, sure. It would be nice to have some moral support… if this really is the beginning of the end.

[ Chuckles ] Okay, here. Now, I’ve come to meet you.

[ Clears throat ] Okay, being dominique’s son can only get you so far. What do you want? Some legal advice.

[ Exhales deeply ] I may be coming into an absurd amount of money. Robert: The game’s over. I-I don’t know what you’re ta– enough! I baited you with a phony address to anna’s hideout 15 minutes ago. Whitten, from the agency, descended on that property, acting on an anonymous tip. You supplied the tip! How long have you been working with victor?!

Dex, I’m not getting you clothes. I bled all over what I was wearing. I’m sorry about your brother’s shirt. I told you. Michael won’t miss it. And that’s not the point. Right. The point is, I can’t just walk out of here in bloodstained clothes and hope no one notices. The point is, you can’t walk. You can’t even stand. Yes, I can.

[ Groans ] Dex, don’T.

[ Groaning ] See? Josslyn saw us kissing the night sonny brought her home. Ah, and she didn’t say anything until now? Well, she’s got a lot going on. She’s fine. And josslyn can be trusted. Yeah, that’s definitely true. I mean, even when she was a kid, she had my back. Mm. She always made me feel like family. You are family. That reminds me. Michael and willow asked me to look into something that could be important to us. “Us.” I like the sound of us. Mm.

[ Exhales deeply ] Well, well, well. Fancy running into you two here. You have the wrong idea. Damn it. You can’t talk your way out of this, kid! Yes, I’m doing victor’s bidding. But not by choice! Not by choice! And the more that I tell you — oh, god, it’s so complicated. The more that I tell you, the more there will be a target on your back. Oh, damn it! There’s a target on everyone’s back as long as victor walks around. What? We got luke murdered, anna framed. And from what I’m hearing, we’re all in danger, and you included! Look, I can help you. But you gotta tell me everything. And I mean everything. You’re coming into money, huh? Illegal money, no doubt. Nope. Nope. I’m coming into this honestly. Turns out serena… may not have walked away with all the taub fortune. How do you mean, “may not have”? Well, there is some dispute as to whether or not the fortune belongs to leopold taub’s heirs or cesar faison’S. Dr. Talone, thank you for making the time to see me. It’s an interesting case, but I’ve got to leave for toronto soon, so let’s just dive in. I’ve asked dr. Gatlin-holt to sit in for moral support. That’d be me. Thank you for coming, doctor. I’m the one who forwarded you her records. Yes, I’ve looked them over. You tested positive for the gene two years ago? That’s correct. What made you get tested? Family history? That, and I thought I was experiencing symptoms, but it turns out it was just my carpal tunnel acting up. The details from that visit are vague.

[ Clicks tongue ] I was, in a way, incognito at the time. I gave a false name to the doctor. I’m sure what the doctor told you was accurate, but without a full medical history, it may not have been complete. The swallowing symptoms you described, if they are what you fear, would imply that you’re further along. How much further? It’s possible that a secondary condition of carpal tunnel was masking over tremors caused by chorea… a symptom of stage 2 huntington’S. If you weren’t up front with the doctor about your identity, I assume you also withheld details of your life, say, 5, 10 years ago? I was essentially on the run for most of that time, except for the year I spent in prison. Were you experirritability, depression, restless limbs while sleeping?

[ Scoffs ] Did you not just hear me? I was on the run and then a prisoner. So, yes, I was quite restless and anxious and — and depressed. It’s entirely possiblethat at that time, you were experiencing the first, harder to detect, stage of the disease.

I would never disrespect you by making a move on the mother of your kids. I believe you, brick. But when carly meddles with my business, with my people, usually ends up with disaster. You know what I mean? Give carly some credit. She handled herself well and took over the reins while you were missing. I get you. But whatever she’s into now could be conflict for my kids. I can’t have that, brick. If — if the situation was dangerous, I’d tell you. I give you my word on that.

[ Knock on door, door opens ] Supplier wants to meet you outside. I’ll be right back. All right. Hey, um, well, I was just, um — I was just walking by when, uh, drew — yeah, I was just finishing a run. Do a little stretching. Yeah, yeah. So I see. I see. Yeah. Yeah, I was just taking a stroll in the park since I have so much time on my hands since I’m not at the metro court anymore. Mm-hmm. What about you? Oh, I just dropped leo off for his first basketball practice. It’s just a little — little intramural thing, you know, with other kids on the spectrum to practice their, uh, team-building skills before the big season starts. Oh, I love that.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh. Hold on one second. Mm-hmm. Um… I have to go. Something has come up. So I will — I’ll — I’ll talk to you guys later, all right? Okay. Yup. Leo had quite an adventure last night.

[ Exhales deeply ] Yeah. Yeah. Leo’s such a — he’s such a great kid. I think so. He can’t stop talking about that cellphone he found outside the gatehouse.

[ Breathing sharply ] Are you gonna sit down? Or am I just supposed to watch you fall over? I’ll admit I can’t run any marathons, but I can make it back to my place. The last time you tried that, you popped two stitches and the wound got infected. Well, that’s ’cause I was trying to sneak out of your brother’s house at night, okay? I was in a hurry. I brushed up against a tree. That’s when I popped the stitches. Fortunately, it’s broad daylight now. Look, I just need you to go get me some clean clothes, and I’ll be out of here. You — you can’t leave yet. You’re still too weak. How many people live on this floor? 30. How many floors are there? 10. Okay, so that’s 300 ways to get caught. Um, if you go out there and collapse, that’s another way to get caught. Right, and if I do that, I’ll be on my own and you won’t be implicated. Joss.

[ Groans ] I didn’t come to you for help, but you helped me anyway. I’m not gonna repay you by getting you charged as an accessory after the fact. An accessory to what? You still won’t tell me what you did. Correction. What sonny ordered you to do. Look, I only stayed last night ’cause I was too messed up to leave. Okay, but I’m better now. So if you won’t go get me the clothes, I’m gonna have to put back on what I have and take my chances. Britt: What are you saying? That I could have been showing symptoms while I was on the run? I mean, that was eight years ago. I’m trying to make the symptoms you have today align with what we know of the disease.

[ Exhales sharply ] Trouble swallowing is your main symptom? Dr. Westbourne, if you’re honest with dr. Talone, it might help her make an accurate diagnosis, right? I’ve been more irritable lately. The tremors still show up every once in a while. Define “once in awhile.” Okay, fine. Fairly regularly. But I keep them in check. I’d like to conduct some tests. Cody: Leopold taub, he bequeathed several pieces of jewelry to his direct heirs, one to include a necklace that somehow ended up with peter august. Right. That britt found that necklace in a safety deposit box? Mm-hmm. But it’s funny that the girl who had the necklace was now hooked up with you through society setups. Yeah, well, I-I guess it was fate. Or not. Anyways, the necklace contains diamonds cut from the ice princess. Oh, yes, the ice princess, the diamond the cassadines, they were gonna freeze the world. Yeah, that’s what I heard. Well, look, I got a little piece of advice for you. Run for the hills! I’ve been lying to you. My memory of the last two years is anything but hazy. It’s seared into me. Let’s take it from the beginning, huh? Come on.

[ Inhales deeply ] I was investigating rudge and his casino. That much is true. And the rumor was that victor was alive and well and working with rudge. Given his — he still had allies in the bureau. And word must have got out and my cover was blown. And rudge kept me captive in the casino for weeks until… you managed to call me.

[ Cellphone rings ] Scorpio. Holly: Robert! Hey.

Help! Speak up. I can’t hear.

[ Static ] Hello?

Robert! Hey, talk to me, will you? I need you. Look, I can’t — robert. Holly? Please! Well, I just knew you’d be on your way. That’s when victor revealed himself to me. He wanted me to know what would happen if I tried to contact you again, to make an example of someone I cared about.

[ Gun cocks ] That’s when he brought in paloma. Victor: Goodbye, paloma.

[ Screams ] Paloma? Your sister?

[ Sobbing ] The bastard made me watch while he m-murdered my sister in front of my eyes.

En if I tried to escape. Paloma — she looked just like you. It was her body we found on the casino grounds. Holly’s wedding ring. Wearing my wedding ring. Add some f-falsified dental records… voil! Everybody in the world thinks I’m dead. Evidently, paloma was expendable. But victor… thought he might have some use for me someday. Open the door! You bastard! Let me out of here! It was kept in the lap of luxury till my temper got the better of me. Let me out! What are you doing?! Help! Help! Victor moved me from crete to… god knows where. And then he did find a use for me. Brought me here. Anna was getting in the way of his master plan, whatever the hell it is. And he wanted me… …to distract you… …after framing anna. Tell me… tell me you didn’t shoot lucy. Ohh! It was me. How? I don’t believe it! H-how could you? She was your friend! And you kill her! I did no such thing! You just told me you shot her! I said I shot her! But lucy’s not dead. Hey. You’re supposed to take that with food. Hold on. Here. Thanks. Did you have any trouble? No. I was in and out in less than five minutes. As far as I know, nobody saw me. Socks? Well, I didn’t think that you’d want to wear your old ones, and I wasn’t about to dig through your bloody bag of clothes to find the other ones. Right. Okay.

[ Groans, breathing sharply ] Okay. Stop. Give me those. You know, the fact that you can’t get dressed by yourself may tell you that you are still too weak to go. Ah. Can you help me with the pants?

[ Groans ]

[ Grunts softly ] Hey, here, give it to me. I can — I can take it from here.

[ Groaning ]

[ Exhales deeply ] Ta-da! It’s impressive. What are you gonna do about the shoes? All right. [ Sighs ] Where were we?

[ Cellphone thuds ] Look, I respect you, sonny. And if what happened was about business, I would tell you. But I prefer to leave other people’s private matters… private. Doesn’t our working relationship, our friendship, allow for that?

[ Knock on door ] Boss. I hear you got the wrong idea about me and brick. I’m glad you’re here while I set you straight.

[ Sighs ] What are you doing? Well, it’ll look weird if you’re carrying around an empty duffel bag. Just put my stuff in it. Oh, right. And if somebody happens to open your bag and it’s full of bloody clothes, that’s not gonna make you look guilty at all. What are you gonna do with them?

[ Sighs ] I’m gonna take it to my mom’s and burn everything in the fire pit, along with the sheet and everything that I brought from my michael’S. You’re going to a lot of trouble for me. Yeah. I am. So, don’t get caught.

Damn. What? Oh, this, it wasn’t supposed to happen.

[ Chuckles ] Well, it did. I have to go. Well, I-I’ll drive you. No, no, you’ve done enough. I’ll take it from here. Dex, wait. Um… your keys. Bye, joss. So, now leo wants his own cellphone. And I said, “ah, na, na, na, not till you’re 12 years old,” which, as you can imagine, really didn’t go over so well. I tried to explain to him that he’s about 20 years younger than I was when I got my first cellphone. So, it was a — uh [Whistles] You here? I’m sorry. I ju– [ Laughs ] I was just, um… thinking about carly? I don’t suppose things between the two of you have progressed, have they? So, you’ve been asking questions about me being in brick’s room. Not that it’s any of your business. I just told her you were curious. Here’s the deal. Drew and I are seeing each other, and we havere are some insider trading issues at play. I asked brick if he could cover up our digital tracks. Will you give us a minute? Gladly. Okay. I’m sure you got a lot to say. I’m ha– I’m happy for you. Hey. Still here? Yeah. How’d it go? Hell if I know. Dr. Talone isn’t exactly the warm, cheery type. Her bedside manner leaves a lot to be desired. Right, you wouldn’t know anything about that.

[ Both laugh ] Thank you. You’re welcome. Oh, you mean

[Chuckles] For dissing your bedside manner? Yeah, you’re welcome for that, too. For not treating me any differently now that you know the truth. It’s a lot easier to talk about this with people I don’t know very well, like you. I’m touched. Right.

[ Scoffs ] I just mean…

[ Exhales deeply ] …It takes a lot more energy to get into it with people I’m closer to. Of course. Like cody? Brad? I know…how my story is gonna end. It’s one thing to hear the gory details in front of an er triage doctor — that’d be me. It’s another for my loved ones. And… I want them to remember me. You know, not what thishorrific disease does to me.

[ Knock on door ] Hi, dr. Talone. What did you find? Okay. T-the ice princess, I-it’s cursed. All right? That’s a fact. Look it up. No, I-I’ve done some research, yeah. Yeah, well, anybody that’s claimed that diamond has died. Including luke spencer. You know what? I don’t want anything to do with this. Okay, so you won’t help me? I am helping you. I’m telling you to walk away. Fine. You know what? I’ll handle it myself. Ah, so forget about the curse. You’re gonna go after this inheritance and you’re gonna screw over the girl that you allegedly care about. Is that really worth it? Lucy’s alive? It was never victor’s intention to kill her. Lucy’s just another person he can use as leverage against the people of port charles. But how did he manage it? There were two shots fired that night. The first — the first one I shot was a rubber bullet. Victor, we obviously got our… what are you doing here? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Please. No. No.

[ Gun cocks ]

[ Groans ]

[ Gunshot ] The second shot I fired was a real bullet. I fired it into the water, leaving casing and residue on the pier. But the video, it showed anna. During victor’s tenure at the bureau, he perfected the art of prosthetics, which he made me wear. Just like duke and faison. Got it. Lucy was retrieved from the water almost immediately by victor’s guards. Lucy: [ Groaning ] Wait. What — what happened? Wait, wait, wait. What happened? Wait, where are you ta– taking me? Wait.

[ Exhales deeply ] She’ll be in good hands for the time being. But you. Oh, you still have more work to do, ms. Sutton. Robert: I don’t understand. Why not run to the cops there and then? I mean, with lucy alive, anna’s cleared. Please, robert. Victor must never know that I’ve told you this. Nobody must know that lucy’s alive. I don’t think he’d harm her. He — he seems to have a soft spot for her. It’s not about lucy. There’s another reason that victor can never know that I’ve betrayed him. What has victor got on you? Not what. Who. My son.

I mean, it’s never gonna be easy seeing you with another guy. But you know what?

[ Exhales deeply ] Uh, drew’s a decent enough guy and, uh… …I’m not threatened by him at all, so… but, you know, I’m not surprised ’cause h-he’s around you all the time. Right. Thank you. Yeah. I didn’t come here to get your approval. I came here because I didn’t want you getting the wrong idea about me and brick. Right. How did you know that I was in his room? ‘Cause nina said that she saw you walk into his room. Nina. Ah! Of course. What? I mean, it is her life’s mission to make me miserable. C-carly. Carly, listen. I mean, I-I said I was happy for you.

[ Scoffs ] Can’t you be happy for me? I will be happy for you when your girlfriend learns to mind your own business.

[ Door opens ]

[ Sighs ] Found a friend of yours waiting to see you. All right. I’ll leave you to your business. Where the hell… have you been? You’re showing all the signs of entering stage 3 of huntington’s disease. If my timetable is correct, you’re in the low-intermediate stage of the disease. Your current symptoms will increase along with eventual significant cognitive impairment. How much time do I have? The average life-span of a patient in stage 3 is anywhere from 5 to 15 years. But as for living your daily life, it could be as soon as 18 months that you would need full-time care and assisted living. Victor has ethan? After your adventure in monte carlo, ethan found some evidence that I might still be alive, and he came looking for me. Why didn’t he bring it to me? I don’t know. Maybe he was trying to find confirmation first. I don’t know. But unfortunately for all of us, victor’s people caught him. Now victor’s holding him to secure my cooperation.

[ Sighs ] So, um…victor’s got anna on the run. He’s got lucy and ethan as prisoners.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Sighs ] And he’s got me over a barrel. Is that him? And he’s coming here. You have to go. Put him off. I can’t provoke him! Or he’ll do the same to my son that he did to my sister.

Carly and I decided that it would be best if we just, uh, stayed friends. Oh. Well, hypothetically speaking, if that situation were to change, you know, you and carly would have a good reason to keep things quiet. Such as? Such as a lot of questions that ned was asking about the merger between aurora and elq. Mm. You know, who knew what and when they knew it. The merger that never happened? Oh, sure, sure, of course. But — but — but hypothetically speaking, someone, um… even someone that I’m married to, could raise a pretty big stink with the sec. And if that were the case… …you should know that you can count on me to not say anything. Carly is my best friend. And you’re family.

[ Knock on door ] Uh, just a sec. Carly: Joss, it’s me. Oh. Come in. Dex is gone. Yeah, I know. I just saw him in sonny’s office. What?

[ Scoffs ] Unbelievable. I almost kill myself trying to save him, and he runs back to sonny? You can’t save him, josslyn. I didn’t mean it like that. Dex is working for sonny by his own choice, and as grateful as he is that you helped him, that job is gonna be his top priority. You want me to say that this was a one-time thing, and that I’m never gonna see dex again? Will you be disappointed if it is a one-time thing? I need to go home, and I need to use the fire pit. All right, well, now is a good time. The girls aren’t there. Let’s go. The bullet grazed my side. It bled a lot, and it got infected. Then I found a place to crash until my fever broke. Why didn’t you call in? I lost my phone. That’s not professional. No, I was really out of it the first night, okay? I wasn’t sure if the cops were looking for me. I kept my hat on the whole time. I kept my face in shadow. But there’s a chance the guard could still I.D. Me. What do you think, brick? Out of contact for three days, conveniently lost his phone. I can see why you’d be concerned. Look, I stayed away because I didn’t want to bring any trouble back to you. Okay, I want you to, no matter what, you can count on me.

[ Sobbing ] I’m trying my best to save everyone. Anna and lucy and ethan. But…something has to give! You’re right. Something does. Thank you, dr. Talone, for going out of your way to meet with me. I’m sorry it wasn’t better news. Okay.

[ Exhales deeply ] Wanna go for a walk? Thanks, but I need to be alone. You want a drink? Austin, you’ve been great. But I need to handle this by myself. Okay. You know where to find me.

[ Exhales shakily ]

[ Sniffles ] Damn it.

[ Screams ]

[ Exhales deeply ]

[ Grunts ] Damn! Damn! Damn.

[ Sobbing ]

[ Screams ] I just got word from eileen ashby. Anna devane has escaped. How is that possible? You tell me. I saw the text on robert’s phone. Anna was at the address I gave the marshal. Robert may be on to you. Best be on your guard. Meanwhile, I have another assignment for you. One that involves an old friend of yours.

[ Groans ]

[ Sniffles ] Gee, peter. Thanks.

[ Chuckles ] Did you get this from dear old dad? Guess what I got.

[ Knock on door ] Britt.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Hey mom. Oh, Sarah honey. I’m so sorry I had to rush out to work. I missed your anniversary party, so I just, I wanted to drop this off. Oh, whoa. That was so sweet. But it was, um, last minute. So the frame is empty , but it is steel for your 11th. And I thought if you took a photo at the party last night, or maybe we could take one tonight, that, that would be lovely.

You don’t like it? No, no, no, no. It’s not that. What, what’s wrong? It’s, you know, it’s Bonnie Justin. He’s terribly worried about her, and so am I.

What the, oh my God. Buddy buddy, sweetheart, Justin. Okay, I praying Brandon here. You sweetheart. Sweetheart, who did this to you? The evilest clown you’ve ever seen.

Where are we? And when are we gonna get there? And most importantly, when the heck are you gonna let me go? What? With all the questions. Aren’t you supposed to be psychic? You know what? It doesn’t work that way, Uhuh. It’s not like I’m some side show Fortune Taylor from Peach Six. And you know what? It doesn’t take a psychic to see that you are one Sorry.

Excuse for a clap. Oh yeah. How’s that? You’re not very whimsical. You’re just rude. Rude, rude. And you’re kind of boring. Oh, well, I’d prefer you to be the boring kind of a captive. So why don’t we try that for a change. What do you say? Like I said, rude. Who’s ever rude is a rude clown. Why don’t you just sit back?

And be quiet so we can enjoy the ride in silence.

Alice, rusty, this has not been too much for her, for all of us really, but I’m relieved that you and Eva have made an agreement. I just want all of this to be over. As much as it pains me, I have every intention in doing whatever that evil woman wants, whatever it takes to ensure the safe return of my mother.

Come on mom. You know you want to kill her? Kill Susan Banks. That is not the deal I made with EJ the deal. Since when is EJ honored to deal with you? He kidnapped your son. He thinks he can win this. You need to make him lose. I just upped the ransom. He is about to lose 30 million. You are Ava Vitali. This isn’t about the money EJ disrespected you and we both know there is one way to answer for that.

He needs to suffer. You need to make him suffer. We both know how this ends. True revenge. The mother has to.

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

Honestly is isn’t what I expected a clown car to look like. I mean, it’s roomy in the inside, but I mean, it didn’t seem all small on the outside or not very clown like either clown French, can you cram in here, Mr. Griffin? Y you who I supposed to. It means you never shut up and it’s driving me crazy. What happens to silence?

Well, I don’t like silence, so either you start answering the questions or I’m gonna start to sing Elvis’s back headlock in chronological order. All right. All right. You know what, Mr. Co, I’m gonna set the scene for you. It was year 1953 and it was a hot blistering August day in Man Fish when a handsome young man walks right into the Do On Records and he away.

Hi,

this is not a real clown car. Okay? Don’t mind. It’s a. And I don’t know how many clowns I can cram in here cause I don’t have any clown friends. You happy now? No. And you showed darn angry. I’m angry. I’m just frustrated on the club. Mr. Clown,

how about I ask you a question? Okay. Shoot. Wait, don’t shoot. Ask one. Watch with the silly hat.

Huh? Yeah. Mr. Crown are calling me Shelly. Well, you know what, for your information, my haage cold and so when you unti me, I grabbed my hat, my lucky hat. Mind you, I’d my bag. See, I like to be prepared for the weather for misfortunes. Well, doesn’t seem so lucky to me. Given the circumstances. I mean, you know what?

As long as I have this little head on my head, everything’s gonna be alright.

So you don’t have any clown friends soon? Just the clown wife. Don’t start that again. Xander said that Bonnie texted saying she was gonna go visit Mimi, but didn’t say. Right. Um, well, Justin just spoke to Mimi and, uh, it’s clear that the text didn’t come from her mother and that Bonnie never went to Chicago.

Uh, wow. Okay. I understand why you’re all so worried. Where’d she go? Um, . We don’t know. . The last we all knew is that she, Headed out to the garden shed. Okay. Okay. Uh, someone in a clown costume tied you up in here. Yes, he is. So, Creepy. Like the clown clown. That makes you heavy jeebies. Okay. All right, LA So let’s just figure this out.

Uh, Maggie said that you came down here to get some lanterns. Yes. Yes. For her and Victor’s anniversary party to be the centerpieces on the table. Right. So when you got here, this creepy clown, evil bozo was just lying in Wait. No, no. And he wasn’t lying. And wait, he found me here after I found Susan Banks.

Charlie, I don’t think, don’t think. Act, your precious trip could have been killed. Yeah. But he wasn’t. Okay. He’s safe now. And we made a deal and EJ agreed, yeah. To give you lots of money. Great. But since when has it been about that 30 million is a big payday. Sure. But to destroy a man, to crush his soul, that is how you become somebody.

The Vitali that you used to be, the Vitali that you’re destined to be. Again, show EJ what happens when you mess with a Vitali, not just any vital mom. Ava Vitali put him in his place. The best way to do that. Put his mother in this place.

I spoke to my banker. And the necessary funds are in place. I was under the impression that this was going to be an electronic transaction. It is. There’s just one more thing I need to deal with

over

Susan May be insufferable, but she’s innocent. She’s done nothing wrong, which is why her death will hurt EJ even more, and you’ll get the payback you deserve. Awful, less facing. Susan might be innocent, but she is annoying as hell. Insufferable, like you said, EJ will be devastated, but the rest of the world, they will breathe a sigh of relief when she finally.

I know you want me to shut up and I know I can be a bit annoying, but I do think that I deserve to know where we’re going, especially considering you aren’t very forest coming by the lash location. How’s that? Uh huh uh, I mean, you told me that we were in a soundproof bunker, some undisclosed NoCal, when really we were in old stinky victor’s old, stinky garden shit.

And I, I, I don’t mean to sound on great bull scenes that you haven’t killed me at all, but don’t you think this is getting a little boring, this kid laughing stuff? Well, You and I are on the same page when it comes to that.

I think I might be even more ready for this to be over than you are. And since you asked somewhat nicely, I guess you do deserve an answer. I do, gee, you’re gonna tell me where we’re going? Yeah. I’m taking you home.

Ava just texted me the location she wants to meet at the airstrip in 30 minutes. Do you really think that that firearm is necessary? I’m sure there’s been more than one poor soul who’s made the fatal misstep of meeting up with Ava. Vital, unarmed. If I left this gun here, it would be a grave mistake, and possibly my last and this cloud had Susan in here too.

Oh, yes. I walked right into this. And this clown is trying to get EJ to pay for the return of his mother. He had Susan all trust up like a Thanksgiving Turkey, same as me, except obviously he didn’t think it was worth as much. So where’s Susan now? Clown God only knows where right before you two burst. I’m sorry.

So Justin and Alex are down at the shed. Yeah, they’re just trying to figure out where Bonnie disappeared to. Well, we all know Bonnie can be a little scattered. Yeah. But she didn’t just get lost on the grounds. I’m sure she’s gonna turn up, I hope. Speaking of which, yes, when I left for work, my husband was here.

So where is Zander now?

I devil himself here, down you.

That didn’t. You’re on the DER grounds, aren’t you?

What the hell are you doing here? Hey, she have to help me. This crazy. He,

he did exactly what I asked him to.

Don’t tell me you’re not in Missy’s clown. Oh God, no. My relationship with this clown is purely profess.

You just think that my grandson Gianni trusted you. I stood up to you for you. Okay, daddy, shame. Shame on you. He’s gonna be so disappointed in you. Oh, how am I ever gonna survive? Now go stand in the corner. Will you do something? Maybe you can. Summon up the spiritual world and top the ear off of some dead damara.

I need to have a word with this clown. Hey, you know what? Since you guys are gonna be talking about me and my welfare, hopefully, um, I think I should be parted to this conversation. Or not. Okay. I’m just gonna flip over here and see what we have. Oh,

I know you weren’t very bright, but it’s only now that I realize you are a total moron. I told you the place I was keeping Susan being compromised and I had to move her. Who told me you’d let me know when your son was safe? Yes, and I just got word that Steve just rescued. Trip. Great. Then we can finally end this.

Get our money from EJ and offload Money Motor Map.

Actually, there’s been a change of plans. I’m gonna go meet EJ and get the money and you’re gonna stay here. Stay here. Why? To kill Susan.

What are you talking about, Ava? We had a deal. No one gets hurt. No one gets hurt. Oh, well then it’s clear. We have had a little bit of a misunderstanding here because my goal from the very beginning has always been to hurt EJ for what he did. To me, that’s become very clear to me that our only path forward is to take away someone.

He. And that’s what we did. And now the next step of the plan is to trade the person he loves for a vast sum of money. I didn’t sign up for murder money. Money means nothing to ej. He was born with it. He will always have it. He will always get more. You need to take away something that he cannot replace.

He has to pay in.

I knew you had a screw, but now my God, you’ve totally lost it. Come on. Lucky hat, I’m taking you home back to your son. Are you sure about that?

Lord. Lord, I know you.

This is a Demy game. Avery and I have been playing, but I have no doubt that I will bust her because she’s reckless. Her moves are erratic. But that’s what makes her so dangerous. It’s also what makes her fallible. I was hoping I can’t talk you out of this, at least let me come along with a backup. She wants me to come alone at this highly sensitive moment of our negotiations, unwilling to make that compromise.

Tony, as much as I want to end Ava tonight. My mother’s safety is the priority. This gun is a last resort, I assure you.

Hello. physically, you’re all right, but I’m sure this ordeal was very upsetting. I’m just glad it’s over, you know? Oh God. My, my hands are still shaking. Geez. Here’s some kind of meal tea. It’ll help sooth your nerves. Oh, um, I think maybe a. Hello. Island iced tea might work faster for me, though. I will take care of that.

Thank you. Thank you, darling. Okay. Can you, uh, tell us anything more about what happened about this man who took Susan? Honey, how many right now? I’m, I’m, I’m just more interested in drinking than talking. Can we just put this off just for a little bit, please? Uh, no. No, you can’t. Cause as long you wait, more likely you are to forget something.

Something that could save Susan Banks’s life.

Susan beat your captor

boy. How would you do this to me? Why the hell did you do that? You brought Susan here and added me. I just returned the. And now you have no choice but to do what needs to be done.

Ah, will you look at the time? I have a date with EJ at the airstrip. So I’m gonna take your car. I’m gonna go get the money from EJ and tell him the terrible news about his precious mom.

Oh, and if it’s any consolation, Susan, there’s a very nice spot right here between Stefano and Andre. So when your son finds your body, he won’t have fire to go to bury.

Bonnie, do you remember anything else about this clown? Any details could be incredibly helpful. Like I told you and everyone else already, he was wearing a clown mask. No, that he never took off. And a suit like a clown suit? No. A blue business suit like the one you always. Thank you. Looks so. Quit. Uh, you’re not implying.

And then it was Alex. No. Lord, no. How at anyone so sweet and with such a sweet face ever hurt anyone? No. Okay. Just the record. Alex was here with me and Maggie during the time that this clown was down at the shed.

So, uh, you remember any more details? Oh, come on you guys, guys. No, I’m no good at describing people to the cops. I mean, really the last time I did this, I Id the wrong person. Okay. Well then maybe you can think about not just what he looked like, but maybe what he sounds like. Can you describe his voice? He was muffled and kind of strange.

Come on. I, I, I can’t do this. Okay. I, I don’t know what you guys want from me here. Okay? Okay. Okay. Okay. That’s enough. Um, you’ve been through a lot, so can we just finish this up? Okay. Yeah. Right. Uh, Bonnie, if you do remember anything else, anything at all, please let me know. Okay? Thank you.

Hold on. There is something, wait. Even though this guy wore a clown mask, he wasn’t very clown like, what does that mean? Well, first of all, he wasn’t very funny. In fact, he was downright mean and creepy. No, no, no. I mean, if this guy really did work in the circus, there’s no way he’d be a clown because his build, you know, and the way he carried himself, he, he was.

He was more like the strong man, you know?

Hey, Mr. Andrew Clown. I, I mean Mr. Cook, Mr. Clown Cook. Gender. You don’t have to do this. That, that heartless lady with the soul decisive a piece, she doesn’t get to boss you around. Right? I promise you. I promise you, you know what? If you just let me live, you know, live the long life that God intended me to, I promise you.

Look, until I saw that you were involved in any of this, not even my sweet, sweet, sweet.

That’s close enough. Ej,

where’s my mother? I want to see her. Oh, you’ll get what you want after I get what I want, except I think it’s become clear. We have good reason not to trust one. Go hell with your trust. Bj, I want your money. So unless I get an alert very. Very soon that you’ve wired me the $30 million, I’m gonna call my associate and tell him to put that bullet in your mother’s rainless little head.

Nope. Nope. Won’t tell anyone.

I’m sorry, Susan. The stakes are just too. I can’t even trust Ava or Amy. Now she’s just gonna murder me in cold blood. You’re not getting it. Sarah would never understand this and things were just getting back on track. I have to do it for her. No you don’t. Please just no more talking. Let me make this harder for both of us.

Okay? Okay. I’m Spanish, Spanish fan. I’m gonna listen. I wanna listen to you. I promise Sarah that I was a changed man, that her love changed me, but she finds out what I did. She’ll, she’ll never forgive me. She’ll see me for what I really am. Okay, hold on, hold on. For, but you don’t have to be, you don’t have to be that you, you don’t have to do this.

I’m not gonna tell. I promise. I promise I crossed my heart and hope get, you know, the best. Maybe you won’t, but if I don’t do this for my, just how spy tell everyone,

and I cannot lose Sarah against Susan. I just, I can’t

Oh, sorry.

It’s done. Where’s my mother?

Nice dream business with you.

Leaving him with our leasing arrival. Oh, I’ll release her to you. Or should I say I’ll release her body to. No. Yeah, no. Yes, yes. Ej. I’m afraid, and it’s true. Your dear old mommy is dead,

got a shower and help you wash away some of that guilt didn’t. You are wrong.

Well, here we are, father, yet again. We are for one of my brothers to return.

Ah. Like father, like son. Isn’t that right?

I just hope EJ keeps his cool. Where is he?

How did you get him? The door was open. Where the hell is ej?

Wow. Huh? That look on your face. Ej, it is worth more to me than 30 million. Damn you. You thought you could take my sun trip? You could threaten my flesh and blood and then just pay me off. If it’s true, my mother’s dead.

No next.

A night, huh? I’m just glad you’re safe right here next to me. Next to my hero,

five 12.

So EJ is on his way to the airstrip right now to make the exchange? Yes. Well, why the hell didn’t one of you call? Well, he was about to call you when neighbor’s call came in, and at that point the ball was already rolling, so he had no choice but to act. Listen, commissioner, I’d be lying to you if I said I wasn’t worried about my brother.

You are not going to believe what happened. Someone kidnapped Susan Banks and of all places was holding her in the Kiya shed. And Bonnie didn’t go to Chicago. She found Susan and the kidnapper grabbed her too, but don’t worry because Bonnie’s okay. But he took off with Susan. God knows where. Oh, and this is the weirdest.

I hope you’re right. I hope you’re right.

Damn.

Oh my God. Here’s a tip, Susan. Don’t startle the person with the gun. Well, I’m sure, I’m sure, but I, I, Richard realized that I lost my lucky hair. We have to go back. Right now. Freaking kidding. Here’s another bit of advice for you. Keep your mouth shut. Are you gonna lose your unlucky head too?

I’m coming. Mother

is right behind you. And seeing as he used to drive race cars, it’s only a matter of time before he catches up to you. What’s the plan when he does

Eva? You’ve got no place to go now, but prison. No better yet. Hell, and once I catch up with you, I get to decide what are you gonna do? You’re gonna drive all the way to Seattle. The Demaris will hunt you to the ends of the earth. You know that? Just shut up. Okay, shut up. I am trying to think. I didn’t say anything.

Oh, you know what? I, I, I, I, I’ll stay, shut up. But, um, just please, please miss down. Please just keep your eyes in descriptive road. I mean, it would be horrible if we get into an accidental, be here. Tell ej, look at you. You’re scared. EJ is the one who should be shaking in the boots, but you let him get the upper hand, and now he’s chasing you.

You’re running away. Rule number one, vitals don’t run. You should have shot that son of a bitch when you had the chance. I am not scared. You’re crying like a baby because I lost everything, not everything. Yeah. It’s true that Steve didn’t want you, Ray didn’t want you, Jake dead trip abandoned you to move across the country.

But you, you still have me mother. I’m still. And we can be together forever, just like I always wanted. And you can still win this. You can still hurt ej. You know what you have to do.

I know. What the hell is she doing?

Come on one. I’m in heels and you walk so fast. I know, but Sweet Pits is about to close. I remember you saying how much you liked a Flowerless chocolate cake. Huh? My watch must be slow or they just closed early. I mean, one of the owners was just accused of murder yesterday. I should have had dessert at the restaurant even with no dessert.

I had a really lovely time. Yeah, it was our second first date. I wanted this one to be perfect. It was.

What are you up to now? Jen? What are you doing in Jakarta? Why don’t you return my calls?

It’s about the time you called me back. This is not just sister. Oh my God. Ro, what the hell are you doing with my sister’s phone? I received your message warning me about Jin Van Only. It came too late.

Sorry, did you hear what I said? I have to tell you something. Sorry. I thought I saw a roach. I am getting paranoid

I

Something’s happened. Hasn’t it

something bad? Something’s hurt,

and I did it on an A P B out on a late model four door sedan drivers, a woman named Ava Vitali Vitality. A 10 20 is a Salem Air. Victim’s name is Susan Banks. She might still be a passenger in the car, so I want all units to proceed with caution. Ava Vitali is considered armed and extremely dangerous.

EJ is right behind you and seeing as he used to drive race cars. It’s only a matter of time before he catches up to you. What’s the plan when he does

Eva? You’ve got no place to go now, but prison. No. Better? Yes. Hell, and once I catch up with you, I get to decide what are you gonna do? You’re gonna drive all the way to Seattle. The Damaris will hunt you to the ends of the earth. You know that? Just shut up. Okay, shut up. I am trying to think. I didn’t say anything.

Oh, you know what I.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Gentle music ]

Steffy: Mom, you look beautiful!

Taylor: Thank you.

Steffy: You should get married more often.

[ Taylor laughs ]

Taylor: Huh, no, I think I’m good after today. I have been waiting for this day for so long.

Steffy: Yes, you have… we all have. I mean, it’s finally happening. You and dad are finally gonna be husband and wife again.

[ Both laugh ]

Steffy: I can’t believe this!

Taylor: I know.

Ridge: I mean it, thomas. Without you and steffy, we never would have gotten here. This is A… it’s my wedding day. We never would have gotten to this point.

Thomas: No, no, no. You– you would have gotten to this point on your own eventually. But, if I played a small part, then, uh, I’m glad I could do it. And I’d do anything to see you and mom together and happy again.

Bill: You’re hurt. You can’t understand how ridge could throw an annulment at you, and then rush off and marry taylor?

Brooke: No, I don’T. I don’t understand that at all.

Bill: I think you do, and you don’t want to admit it to yourself. You know that’s who ridge is. It’s who he’s always been. And now he’s gone because he’s chosen taylor again. For how long? Who knows? I mean, round and round he goes, where he stops, nobody knows. Come on, brooke. Do you really wanna be part of this pathetic merry-go-round, back and forth between you and taylor? Enough. You need to be with a man who loves only you. And that’s me.

Brooke: How can you say that bill? What about my sister? You may think you’re the man for me… but what about katie?

Bill: Katie is very important to me, and I will always appreciate what we had, and the family that we were. And I will love her for that. But she isn’t the woman I want. How could she be after what you and I shared? You’re the love of my life. The woman that I want. I can give you what ridge can’t, commitment. You just have to accept that he’s taylor’s problem now. Accept it, rejoice in it, and never let him come crawling back to you again.

Thomas: Oh, wow! You look beautiful.

Taylor: Thank you, thank you. Oh, it’s a– it’s a forrester original.

Thomas: Oh, yeah. That robe, I think I remember designing that. Yeah, but once you get the gown on, that’s going to be impressive. Dad’s gonna be blown away.

Steffy: Liam has kelly all dressed and ready to go, so you can just pick her up. All right, I love you. Okay, bye. That was finn, he’ll be here soon.

Ridge: There’s no rush, I’m sure your mom is nowhere near ready.

Steffy: As matron of honor, I have that woman on a schedule.

Eric: I don’t doubt that.

Steffy: Do you need help with anything else? Does douglas have his outfit on?

Ridge: Yeah, no, he’s dressed. He’s– he’s ready, but he, uh… went back to his room. Thomas said he wasn’t feeling great.

Eric: Hm.

Steffy: Really? Okay, I’ll go check on him.

Eric: Yeah. Tell him that there’ll be no more wedding cake for him if he doesn’t get into a better mood.

Steffy: All right.

Eric: All right. Here, fix this.

Ridge: Wha– I just fixed it.

Eric: No, you didn’T.

Ridge: Do you think it’s crooked?

Eric: Yeah, it’s crooked, why didn’t you use a mirror?

Ridge: I used a mirror, but I’m always glad for your help.

Eric: Okay.

Ridge: Thank you.

Eric: I’m always glad to help you. You need help, you know. Any advice you might need, I’d give you too.

Ridge: Oh, I need advice as well, from you?

Eric: Yeah, sometimes. Need a good listener… I think maybe you should be listening to that voice in the back of your head that’s telling you about that… phone call that brooke made.

Ridge: Dad, see I don’t wanna talk about that, not today.

Eric: I understand. And I also understand how you feel about taylor, I do. But I also know how you feel about brooke. Are you sure you wanna go ahead with this wedding today?

Bill: Forrester’s gone. No longer an option. I mean, y– you get that right? He’s marrying taylor.

Brooke: Ridge will realize he made a mistake, and then–

Bill: And what? What? You’re gonna be waiting for him to– to give you the gift of his return. Don’t you see how wrong that is?

Brooke: I just know that ridge is the man for me. I know it, I feel it.

Bill: He ended your marriage to be with taylor!

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

[ Door unlatching ]

Katie: Brooke? Bill? What are you…

[ Katie laughs ] Never mind. Ah, you found out that ridge is marrying taylor today, so… of course, you’re here! You’re ready to make your move on brooke.

Bill: Make my move? The woman I have been trying to make moves on or so long… just walked in. I’m glad to see you, my beautiful katie.

Taylor: You and your sister have made me feel so special today. Thank you.

Thomas: You deserve it, I mean, you deserve all the happiness that comes to you. Especially after everything you’ve been through with brooke, and what she’s done to your life over and over again. But, I kinda knew this day would happen.

Taylor: Yeah. You and steffy both did. You know, it’s almost like you willed it to happen.

Thomas: Yeah, yeah. It’s kind of crazy, right? What some, uh, positive thinking can do.

[ Phone beeping ]

Thomas: Brooke logan. Please hurry.

Douglas: Dad called cps on himself?

[ Knocking on door ]

Steffy: Douglas?

Douglas: Hey, aunt steffy.

Steffy: Hi. You okay?

Douglas: Yeah, I’m fine.

Steffy: Heard you’re not feeling well. You know, finn’s a doctor, he can take a look at you.

Douglas: No, it’s not that I’m sick. It’S…

Steffy: You upset? Whatever it is, douglas, you can tell me. (Vo) no matter what type of severe asthma you have,…

Katie: You’re glad to see me?

Bill: Of course, I am. Why wouldn’t I be?

Katie: I’m not brooke.

Bill: Your sister’s destiny is marrying someone else right now. I’ve been around logans long enough to know that you would show up here to support your sister, so that doesn’t surprise me. What does surprise me, is your timing. It gives me a chance to talk to you about us.

Katie: About us?

Bill: This marriage has me thinking… why should ridge and taylor be the only ones able to find their way back to each other? I’ve said it over and over again, we can fix this. We can. Why are we wasting time? Come back to me. Today.

Eric: Ridge, you know, if there’s A… if there’s any doubt in your mind at all… I mean, if– if there’s any thought that you might be rushing into this thing.

Ridge: Into marrying taylor? Really? You know how long I’ve loved this woman. You know how long the kids have tried to bring us back together. So, this is the opposite of rushing, whatever that is.

Eric: Yeah, okay, okay, I get it. I have to admit, I– I love seeing the smile on your face, taylor’s too. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen thomas and steffy as happy as they are right now.

Ridge: I know, they are happy. But I don’t think it is because their parents are getting back together, they’re happy because their lives are good. Steffy had a year, right? But she’s back and finn is here and… she’s so happy. And the same with thomas. Now, he’s finally the man that I want him to be.

[ Eric chuckles ]

Eric: Proud papa, huh?

Ridge: I’m very proud. I think of my kids and– and who they are in this world, and yeah. Makes me really, really happy.

Taylor: Hey. I just wanted to say thank you.

Thomas: For what?

Taylor: For all that positive thinking you were talking about. You and your sister never gave up. Even after I had, you refused to believe that it was the end for your father and me. And you were right. Look at me. We’re getting married today. A day I did not believe would ever come. But you did. So, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thomas: Oh, it’s okay. I’m glad it all worked out, you know. So much could have gone wrong.

Taylor: What? What could have gone wrong?

Thomas: You’re right, nothing could have gone wrong. I mean, I– I’ll always be here for you, and steffy and I, we’ll… we’ll always be there for our family. For you and dad. You know, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do to make your dream come true. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to make a dream come true

[ Both laughing ]

Taylor: Oh.

Steffy: It makes me sad to think something’s upsetting you on such a wonderful day for our family. Your grandparents are getting married today. We should be celebrating.

Douglas: I guess.

Steffy: You guess? You know how they feel about each other, right?

Douglas: Well, yeah, but, what about grandma brooke?

Steffy: My father cares about brooke. But he realizes that he doesn’t wanna spend the rest of his life with her. Why are you bringing up brooke?

Thomas: You can’t say anything about that app. All right? Not a word.

Steffy: Did brooke say something to you?

Douglas: Not her, no.

Steffy: Then who? Douglas, you’re starting to worry me.

Douglas: It’s my dad.

Ridge: This romance is gonna last forever.

Eric: I’m happy for you, son. This is an exciting time for you, and taylor, and this family that you created together. And I… I understand your commitment to them. But if– if brooke is the love of your life and you cannot deny that she isn’T…

Ridge: “Always surround yourself with the people that make you the best person.” You know who said that? That guy. He’s right. I’m marrying taylor today.

Eric: Yeah.

Thomas: You realize how close you are to the marriage that never should’ve ended?

Taylor: Huh, yes, so close. So don’t jinx it.

Thomas: The– there’s no jinxing happening, all right? This is a done deal.

Taylor: It’s only a done deal after your father and i are pronounced husband and wife. I’m still haunted by the words from the last time we got married. “I now pronounce you man and–”

Thomas: Hooorse!

Taylor: Horse.

Thomas: No, no, mom, stop. That’s not gonna happen. Brooke– brooke is not coming in here and crashing this wedding. Not– not on a horse, not on a moose, not on a cow, not on a goose.

Taylor: Oh my god, I love you so much.

Steffy: Your dad?

Douglas: He’s the reason I’m upset.

Steffy: Why?

Douglas: Something I found out. Something he doesn’t want anyone else to know.

Steffy: And your dad asked you to keep it a secret? And that’s what’s stressing you out, isn’t it? You’ll feel a lot better if you tell me what’s going on.

Douglas: I can’t, dad will be so mad.

Steffy: I’ll handle your dad. And I’ll remind him that it’s not a good idea to keep secrets, okay? Hey, you can trust me.

Douglas: Well, there’s this app on my phone.

Steffy: Okay?

Douglas: And it’s really cool. You record someone’s voice, and it comes out sounding like someone else.

Steffy: That– that sounds cool, but what does that have to do with your father?

Douglas: Because there are some recordings he wants me to forget about. The ones that made him upset.

Steffy: Recordings you made?

Douglas: He made.

Steffy: Can I hear them?

Brooke: Hello, I’d like to report a child in danger. His name is douglas forrester. He’s at 369 willow hill road, los angeles.

Steffy: I– I don’t understand. Why do you have brooke’s call to cps on your phone?

Douglas: It wasn’t her call. The app records something and it changes it to someone else’s voice. It’s supposed to be funny. Make people laugh. But this wasn’t funny.

Steffy: So, you’re saying this recording of brooke, it… it isn’t brooke?

Thomas: Hello, I’d like to report a child in danger. His name is douglas forrester. He’s at 369 willow hill road, los angeles.

Steffy: No, he wouldn’T. He wouldn’t do it.

Douglas: He took my phone, aunt steffy. He took it and used the app to make his voice sound like grandma brooke.

Steffy: Oh, my god.

[ Steffy sniffles ] Who– ah, um… so, that call to child protective services, it’s not brooke it– it’s thomas? Oh, no. No, no way. No, no, you– your– your father called cps on himself?

Douglas: To make grandad mad.

Steffy: To make him leave brooke.

Douglas: And marry grandma taylor.

Steffy: Oh my god.

Interview with “The Walking Dead” actors

Posted on by TvMegasite Admin

TV Interview!

Eleanor Matsuura, Laila Robins, Josh McDermitt, Michael James Shaw, Seth Gilliam, Khary Payton, Lauren Ridloff and Ross Marquand of "The Walking Dead" on AMC

Interviews with Eleanor Matsuura, Laila Robins, Josh McDermitt, Michael James Shaw, Seth Gilliam, Khary Payton, Lauren Ridloff and Ross Marquand of “The Walking Dead” on AMC by Suzanne 11/14/22

It was fun to speak to some members of the TWD cast! I’ve interviewed some of them before, but it’s always a treat. I was especially happy to speak with Seth Gilliam, who was awesome as the vet in “Teen Wolf”;  and Michael James Shaw, who is great as Shaw in “Blood & Treasure.” I don’t watch TWD regularly (not a fan of zombies), but it’s a very good show. Everyone is really looking forward to the series finale tonight. It’s a bit sad for these actors who have been on it for so long. However, the interviews were very enjoyable – as you will see below.

The first roundtable interview was with Eleanor Matsuura (Yumiko), Laila Robins (Pamela Milton), Josh McDermitt (Eugene Porter), and Michael James Shaw (Mercer).

JAMIE OF SCIFIVISION:   In your own opinion, what do you think is the most defining moment for your characters that changed them, and how did it change them, for each of you?

LAILA ROBINS:   I would say when my son became a walker; I think that was a big one, to see him in that shape and form. And then again, I think, last night. Something shifts obviously when you shoot a child. So, I would say those two things.

ELEANOR MATSUURA:   For me, I’d say it’s probably seeing my brother, my brother’s picture on the wall looking for me at the beginning of this season. My god, that was the first episode of this season. It feels like a second ago. Yeah, I think, for Yumiko, that was the beginning of, I mean, it was the beginning of drawing everyone into the Commonwealth by virtue of making the group that I was with stay in that moment. But it was this glimpse into her past, this pull that was keeping her from leaving with the group. And, yeah, an opportunity to sort of see where she came from, and how that’s unfolded in this season with the courtroom stuff, and representing Eugene, and it felt like the past and the present, were all just brought together, like smashed together. So, I would say, yeah, probably for all the seasons I’ve done, that’s probably been the most pivotal moment for Yumiko, seeing that picture on the wall.

MICHAEL JAMES SHAW:   Oh, for Mercer, I think a defining moment in this last couple of episodes is when his sister Max refuses to sign the forced confession. I think that sets him into motion, and he’s plotting things in his own head but not really allowing people in, but he’s definitely still starting to make moves at that moment, because she’s everything to him, and if he lost her, I don’t think he’d have any purpose anymore. So, yeah, that’s a big moment for him. It shifts the balance.

JOSH McDERMITT:   I mean, it’s hard, just because I feel like the guy is changing so much throughout. And we’re talking about just season 11. Right? We’re not talking about for the series?

JAMIE OF SCIFIVISION:   No, I’m meant overall, if it’s something else important.

JOSH McDERMITT:   That is such a hard question to answer.

JAMIE OF SCIFIVISION:   [laughs] Then do this season. We’ll make it easier.

JOSH McDERMITT:   Yeah, well, I’ll tell you, this season, I mean, there were kind of two moments, but they were kind of joined together, so more like a sequence. But it’s just finding out the truth about the decoy Stephanie, who turned out to be Shira, and who Max really was. I think that that brought him down to his lowest point, but then meeting Max kind of brought him up again and gave him a new outlook on life, even though it’s kind of the outlook that he wanted, when he came to the Commonwealth, but it was definitely when he felt like all hope was lost that he did see this little tiny light off in the distance, and that light has grown to then shine the light on all the misdeeds and the bad things going on in the Commonwealth. I really think that kind of sequence, those two things together, were were defining moment for at least the season.

TONY TELLADO OF SCIFITALK:   For all of you, what was it like to kind of break new ground into The Walking Dead and to actually have courtroom drama, as opposed to hunting walkers and all that? What was the vibe on those days? That must have been pretty neat to shoot something so different like that? It’s for everyone.

ELEANOR MATSUURA:   It was wild. It was so weird. I mean, I found it weird. I know I spent most of those scenes next to Josh. So, I remember we would turn to each other a lot and be like, “This is wild, right?” Because we could almost look down the barrel of like, if we’d had even more time and more episodes; say this part of the storyline had happened at a different like earlier or something, this could have gone way far down into like a whole courtroom drama. It just was so bizarre. I mean, just when I thought the Commonwealth couldn’t get any weirder, I was standing in a courtroom. I mean, I suppose there’s been so much talk about Yumiko as a lawyer, how good she was, it’s like, I sort of feel like we had to see her in action at some point. It was inevitable that we’d get the courtroom scenes. And in some ways, even though it was weird, I wish we’d we had gotten to delve into them even more, but, I mean, if I found it strange, Josh, you must have found it even more strange. I mean, mind you, this shows taken so many different iterations, maybe it’s not weird to you anymore.

JOSH McDERMITT:   Well, I mean, the show continues to surprise me in the new territory we jump into, and this was no different. It always feels weird when you don’t have blood and guts [on you]. When you can work on the stage and not be sweaty.

ELEANOR MATSUURA:   And your clothes are clean.

JOSH McDERMITT:   Yeah, like that’s great, and really, to just kind of be still and not not have a bunch of action and business that you’re supposed to be doing where you’re walking around and taking a horse and putting the horse over there. You know, it’s like, you can just sit at a table and just do your thing. That was weird. But I know we have a lot of people on the show, cast and crew, who have all done courtroom dramas, you know, other series at some point. So, that was fun to talk to them, because there is a specific way you kind of have to shoot a courtroom scene to keep it interesting. I mean, the storyline isn’t always interesting enough. There’re camera movements; there’s a pacing to it. There’re all these other things. So, it was nice to, in a sense, do an episode of Law & Order without ever having to leave Atlanta, Georgia.

LAILA ROBINS:   [laughs] Okay, I’ll piggyback on that. I’ve done so many Law & Orders, and I’ve worn so many suits and so many high heels. I was praying for a job where I thought, “Oh, I get to be out in nature and the woods.” Watch out for what you wish for [laughs], because when you’re shooting out there under the sun in Atlanta with a wig on and a wool coat and boots and a gun. It isn’t so pretty. I was like, “Oh my God, thank God we’re back in the courtroom.” [laughs]

MICHAEL JAMES SHAW:   It was surreal the whole time. We kept looking at each other like we’re in The Twilight Zone. You know, just, what show are we doing today? [laughs] It was good fun though, good fun.

SUZANNE OF TVMEG.COM:   Hi, guys. I wanted to start with Mike. It’s great to see you. I love your show Blood and Treasure, and your character on there is just amazing.

MICHAEL JAMES SHAW:   Thank you.

SUZANNE OF TVMEG.COM:   So, do you think that most of the fans will like the ending?

MICHAEL JAMES SHAW:   They’re going to love it. [laughs] I loved shooting it. Yeah, I can’t really say much about that, but some shit’s going down, and it’s good.

SUZANNE OF TVMEG.COM:   Anyone else like to give their opinion on that?

ELEANOR MATSUURA:   …It’s so hard to answer. I feel like we’ve been asked this a lot, and I always try and summarize like, are we going to be able to please, every single person on the planet? I don’t know. I don’t know if we are, but then this show wouldn’t have gotten this far without people’s total commitment to it. Like it’s eleven seasons of a show. That is a huge amount of time, I think. And I really do think if you’ve dedicated your life to the show, and the way that so many people have, and you’ve come this far, I don’t think you’re going to be disappointed with the end. You might have certain things that you would have hoped turned out slightly differently. You might have bits and pieces that might not be the perfect package, but I do believe in the integrity of how we finish the show, and I feel like it’s a good ending, even though we know that we’ve got a bunch more spin offs, which I’m sure people can, like, fill their boots if they need to go and get more, if they didn’t feel like they were satisfied with what we’ve done. Yeah, and that’s all we can say. We tried to finish it out in the best possible way that we could. Yeah, and I believe in the integrity of that, like whether or not everybody will think it’s the perfect ending, that would be an impossible thing to quantify, but I think we’ve given it a damn good shot.

LAILA ROBINS:   Yeah, I think it’s a very emotional show. All of these people who have invested themselves in watching it, I’m just thinking of all the actors who have been there for eleven years and how they must feel. I can’t even get my head around that idea, knowing that you won’t see each other as often as you normally do, and that they’re a real family. I mean, I’m a late comer. I even feel emotional about it. I can’t even imagine someone like Josh saying goodbye to it. It’s unbelievable.

BRIAN:   Josh, this question is for you. You have been on the show since season four, and then you mentioned how the show has changed a lot; your character has changed a lot. So, what are some of the few things you’ll miss about playing Eugene?

JOSH McDERMITT:   Definitely, what you just said, the fact that he hasn’t been a stagnant character. I think every time you kind of jump onto another production, and you’re playing a new character, you fall in love with that character, and you hope that the writers change the person a lot to keep it fresh, because, as human beings, we do change ourselves. But I think this one’s going to be hard to top with that sort of thing, just because it wasn’t just season to season, but sometimes it felt like episode to episode he was having new revelations about himself and that sort of thing. I definitely definitely miss that about it. I would just hope that other characters I end up doing can hold a candle to Eugene, because even if they’re half as fun playing, I’ll have a great time with it.

JAMIE OF SCIFIVISION:   For each of you, what do you think is your character’s biggest regret?

JOSH McDERMITT:   I think for Eugene [laughs] much like the defining moment, there’re too many. [laughs]

JAMIE OF SCIFIVISION:   [laughs] Sorry.

JOSH McDERMITT:   No, it’s, it’s fine. I mean, it just speaks to kind of the question that [the other journalist] just had about just how everything changes, and it’s very fluid, and that’s what makes it fun. But I think for Eugene, a very big regret for him is that he didn’t do more to help – help his group get around Negan and the Saviors, I guess, that Glenn and Abraham died. Eugene is the type of guy who will continue to think through problems, game-plan, figure out a way to get in the cracks so that he can continue to survive, or the people that he cares about can succeed, and that’s one where he lost. He really lost, and I think that does eat at him, because of what happened. In the end, he lost two people that were very close to him. And honestly, it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s a big regret for a lot of the characters on the show. It still haunts everybody. I mean, from Maggie all the way down to Judith. She was a baby at that point, or a kid, a little kid. So, it just I think that was probably his biggest regret, that he didn’t he wasn’t able to do more.

LAILA ROBINS:   I guess for Pamela it has something to do with not being the best mother somehow, my inability to communicate with my son or to get through to him or to guide him properly or to have him care about the family’s legacy or somehow to inspire him, that I lack the ability to inspire my own son to greatness, I think is a regret. And obviously, what it led to, his demise, and ultimately, his death. But I think she does take that responsibility.

MICHAEL JAMES SHAW:   I guess. Mercer’s biggest regret is that he didn’t put eyes on Hornsby sooner.

LAILA ROBINS:   He’s slippery! [laughs]

MICHAEL JAMES SHAW:   It could have saved us a lot of trouble. He could have saved us all a lot of trouble. That little snake. [laughs]

LAILA ROBINS:   You were just wowed by his outfits. You weren’t looking deep enough. You got all caught off in his outfits. [laughs]

MICHAEL JAMES SHAW:   Where’s he getting these fabrics from?

LAILA ROBINS:   Pink!

ELEANOR MATSUURA:   That’s a hard one to answer. I think probably it’s something to do with not being able to do enough,  because something about Yumiko is that she’s relentless. She truly doesn’t ever give up, even in the face of such adversity, when you sort of think there’s just like – there’re so many moments with Eugene and Pamela where you see her, and you’re like, “There is literally no way out of this.” And even even though she knows it’s kind of pointless, she just keeps going and going and going. So, I’m thinking to myself, “Well, I wonder where that comes from?” And because the pivotal moment with her brother, like I spoke about before, seems to be such a important core thing for Yumiko, I guess there must be something from her past that may be something that we haven’t seen in the show. It would be something that I have probably been playing without even consciously realizing it, just like this feeling of like, you could see it, it’s like striving to be the best, because she comes from this very prestigious, educational background, but I don’t think she sees it like that. I don’t think it’s about the competitive [nature], trying to be the best. I think it’s about more not feeling enough, therefore not giving up. I’m sorry; I know that’s not a direct answer to your question. That’s the best way that I can answer.

TONY TELLADO OF SCIFITALK:   What life has been like after The Walking Dead is over and kind of transitioning to leaving the air, leaving Atlanta and all of that and kind of going back to some semblance of real life? What’s that been like, for all of you?

JOSH McDERMITT:   I cry less. That’s a big one. [laughs] I mean, I still cry. It’s just less. It’s been nice for me to come home and reconnect with people. It’s hard to maintain some relationships when you’re away. Texting and calls do so much but it’s it’s really that face to face interaction is what I think we were craving, and so it’s nice to be home and to be in my own home, to be in the nice Los Angeles weather and that sort of thing. There’s a peacefulness about being at home; it’s kind of nice.

LAILA ROBINS:   It’s been nice to come back to New York and catch up on all the plays my friends are in, shows that I wanted to see before they closed, theaters having a tough time these days. So, it was fun to to go see some plays, but it is weird when you’re on a set for a long time. It’s almost like a safe zone, because your your life is scripted, and I always find that weird slight anxiety when I’m wrapped for the day. As to, “Oh, now I’ve got to go be myself.” [laughs] I’m boring, you know? So, it’s been interesting to reenter and kind of go, “Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Here I am; here I am,” when you’re playing a character more than you’re being yourself. Also, that was the other thing I wanted to say, that why I couldn’t think of it. It was during COVID, so we weren’t as social as perhaps we might have been as a cast. I mean, one of my regrets is I didn’t get to hang out with all the actors or really get to know them all that well, because we were unable to do that, perhaps, as much as normal. So, that was a regret.

MICHAEL JAMES SHAW:   To speak on that, life since The Walking Dead, so we wrapped the show, and I stayed around in Georgia practicing jujitsu, and I broke my knee. Yeah, I have a theory that if we would have just kept shooting the show, I never would have broken my knee. But I ended up having meniscus surgery back in August, and now I’m like, 80% recovered, killing it, but if we would have kept shooting The Walking Dead, I probably wouldn’t have broke my knee. [laughs]

ELEANOR MATSUURA:   I was just going to say, when I first joined the show, my first child was, I think, six months old, so, really tiny. So, we moved my whole family. We uprooted, and we moved to Atlanta, and everything just felt like my life had been sort of just flipped upside down and all just like shaken about. Then, over those these last four years, I totally fell in love with Atlanta. I totally fell in love with Georgia. Then, I had my just had my second baby. I mean, I was pregnant most of the shoot of this last season. So, it’s so integrated into my life, the show, it’s become like our families; it’s just a part of our life that it’s feels weird now that I’m not going to be like trundling back to Atlanta next month. It’s really weird. It’s weird, because that has been the rhythm that I’ve been used to for the past four years. Yeah, I think it’s just been starting to hit me these last few episodes. I really think it will only truly hit me hit me the finale next week, when when we’re all together. Then, like Josh was saying, sort of just seeing the faces, everyone’s faces in real life for the last – not for the last time. Of course, we can all like meet up and whatever, but it’s different, because it’s like, this is our celebration of the show. We’re not going to have another like, “Oh, okay, I’ll see you next month, see you next season” kind of thing. It’s ended now. So, it’s like, for me truly, I’m just getting used to this, almost a whole new rhythm of life.

SUZANNE OF TVMEG.COM:   Josh, when did the filming actually wrap, and what were your feelings when you finished with it?

JOSH McDERMITT:   It was in the spring, but I don’t remember specifically. Sometime in March or April, I guess. And what was the second part of your question?

SUZANNE OF TVMEG.COM:   What were your feelings when you had to finish filming for the last time?

JOSH McDERMITT:   Oh, yeah. I mean, it was overwhelming. That’s something that’s been a part of my life as a job for the last decade and even longer as a fan of the show. Like, I felt overwhelmed when Seinfeld ended [laughs]; you know, maybe more so with this just I have a more personal connection to it, but, yeah, it was just it was overwhelming, but kind of like what Eleanor was just saying. I mean, I’m looking at their faces right now, and we can call and chat anytime and like, you know, I could go to New York, and Laila and I could go see a show. So, these people are not out of my life. It was just kind of this, “Oh, this chapters done, but the story continues, in a sense that that’s kind of how I was overwhelmed, I think.

SUZANNE OF TVMEG.COM:   Now you’re making me cry. [laughs]

JOSH McDERMITT:   Good. That was my goal.

BRIAN:   With the three spin offs that are upcoming, will you guys be watching any of them? Any of them at all?

ELEANOR MATSUURA:   Sure.

LAILA ROBINS:   Yeah.

MICHAEL JAMES SHAW:   Hell, yeah.

ELEANOR MATSUURA:   Yeah, definitely.

MICHAEL JAMES SHAW:   I want to see what happens in New York.

JOSH McDERMITT:   I’ll only watch it if they give me a screener.

MICHAEL JAMES SHAW:   Better call Pix.

JOSH McDERMITT:   I mean, I’ll help you write the blog about it.

The next interview was with Seth Gilliam (Gabriel Stokes), Khary Payton (Ezekiel), Lauren Ridloff (Connie) and Ross Marquand (Aaron).

We were only able to ask one question each for this second group of actors. They were entertaining, though.

BRIAN:   Your character Gabriel has changed so much since we first see him in season five. So, how much have you enjoyed seeing his character grow over the years?

SETH GILLIAM:   I’ve really enjoyed it. It was a fantastic challenge and kind of like yearly pay off playing Gabriel, because there were so many changes, either subtle or outright drastic changes, to his nature over the course of the last, I guess, it’s been seven seasons now. It was not something that I foresaw. I’ve said before I thought that he was walker bait. I thought he was dead in three episodes. I thought this man is not long for this world. I had not read the comics, so I didn’t have any any history or knowledge about the character, but I just thought that he was a plot device to get somebody of more importance killed. So, all of the different changes and platforms that he’s been able to climb over these past seasons has really been extremely exciting to play, and I feel very, very fortunate to be the guy who got to take the ride with him.

JAMIE OF SCIFIVISION:   So, for each of you, in your own opinion, what has been your character’s defining moment, and how has it changed them?

KHARY PAYTON:   It’s always been Shiva for Ezekiel, because, to me, Shiva dying, it coincided with Ezekiel losing half of his Kingdom in the war, in all out war, and I think he has been fighting to come back from that ever since. So, even when I was mourning Shiva on the show, you know, because it was a CGI Tiger, she was always, for me, the embodiment of the Kingdom itself. So, when I was grieving her and mourning her, it was Ezekiel mourning his people and his worth as a leader, and as a person, for thinking that the power of positive thinking means that everything’s always going to be okay, and coming to find that really, it’s about persevering. It’s not that everything’s going to be okay; it’s how you get through and still make life worth living. But yeah, it all goes back to Shiva for Ezekiel.

LAUREN RIDLOFF:  I was just thinking about for my character for Connie. I was thinking about when Connie actually saves the baby, but then I thought also about the episode that we shot, “On the Inside.” I think that truly was Connie’s defining moments, because I know that there’re so many times that people ask, “Okay, so Connie is a survivor. She’s arrived, she’s strong, she can fight. She can save the baby. She has a good heart.” But the burning question was, “How exactly did she survive?” So, I think that on that episode, it gave people an opportunity to see how Connie navigates that world. I really loved the way that episode focused on some specific things that involved conversations I had with Greg Nicotero before we actually shot that. When I first read the script, it had Connie just walking down the hall and looking around the hall, but I told Greg, “Well, as a deaf person who has nothing but her eyes to rely on, she would find other ways to navigate. She would need more information,” because at this point to survive, you need all the information you can gather about what’s happening around you. So, to get more information, Connie would use her hands. She would probably put her hands on the wall and feel the vibrations, you know, feeling the floor creek if somebody’s walking behind her. I think that’s how Connie would gather that information. There’s no way that Connie would just walk down the hall. It just wouldn’t happen, because all her vulnerability is going to be what’s behind her back. She would probably put her back up against the wall and use her hands to to guide herself so she can keep her eyes on both angles. So, I think that kind of specific information played out on the screen so well. I feel like I was just excited to actually finally show everybody how kind of Connie had survived.

ROSS MARQUAND:  Yeah, I think where Aaron loses Eric was definitely the one that shifted him completely, because in that one episode he loses his longtime partner of God knows how many years. I mean, it’s arguably one of the longest relationships that we ever see on the show, rivaled probably only by Rick and Laurie, but in that episode, he obviously loses his partner, which devastates him completely, but he also gained a daughter. I think when Rick comes out of the Sanctuary – not the Sanctuary, but whatever that compound is, after just having killed her father, Rick comes out with this baby, and I think Aaron is so lost in this moment that he needs to take the baby and just do something and tether himself to this new life, because he’s lost. He’s just like a cyclone of emotions this point, and if he doesn’t tether himself to somebody or something, he’s just going to go off the deep end, and he’s just going to lose his mind. So, it’s a beautiful moment where a man who has lost everything all of a sudden gains this new responsibility. I think it’s wonderful that he’s taken on this role. At first, I was surprised that the showrunners wanted me to really raise this kid, but now I look back, and I think it was just perfect. It was a perfect and very logical transition for him after having just lost his partner.

SETH GILLIAM:  I think it was when Father Gabriel lost his vision, not fully, but in his right eye. It seems to coincide with him seeing things a lot clearer and being a little more devout in his belief in himself and his decision-making process and his courage level and his conviction levels. I think he went partially blind and gained a bit more insight into himself.

KAREN:   What can you tease about the finale, and also what was the experience like to film that last episode and to also put these characters away?…And for each you?

KHARY PAYTON:   You go ahead. You go ahead.

SETH GILLIAM:   No, I was talking, but you’re the king. So, you go ahead.

KHARY PAYTON:   You’re stupid you’re stupid. But I mean, I’m going to start by saying we’re not teasing a goddamn thing. You waited twelve years for this episode. You are going to wait another five. We’re not teasing anything. I’m not telling you if the grass is green or brown. I’m not telling you if the dirt is is gravelly, or if there’s if it’s smooth. I’m telling you nothing. It was too cold that day. It was too cold that day for me to be teasing anything. No, but seriously, that’s really how I feel. I mean, I feel like so many people, they want us to tell something, but to the crew and the cast and everyone that has waited this long, I think patience is a virtue. That’s what I will say. I will also say that I have still not mourned the end of this whole thing. I’m not sure if I will. Maybe when I see everybody at the finale, I will finally have some kind of cathartic experience, but Cristian tried to do this, like, two years ago, when we started filming this last season. She started to tear up, and I was like, “Don’t you do it. Don’t you do it, girl. I am not going to cry for two years.” and I think I shut it down. I shut it down. Ever since then. I might just end up being a blubbering mess on Sunday, but I have yet to truly come to terms with letting things go.

KAREN:   Anybody else?

KHARY PAYTON:   She, she just skipped right over me. She was like, “Yeah, somebody else tell me.

KAREN:   Who’s got the loose lips? Lauren, Seth, [Aaron]? (LONG SILENCE)

KHARY PAYTON:   I love it. I love it, man. I love you guys right now. Your silence is like love to me. It is sweet ambrosia.

SETH GILLIAM:   Much like Khary, it’s still not over for me. The work part is over, but the relationships aren’t over. The show hasn’t finally finished airing. There’s still a finish line ahead. So, I’m not going to sit down on the track and unpack my bags just yet. I’ll cross the finish line and then see how I feel late next Sunday night.

LAUREN RIDLOFF:  I guess this is kind of like a real long goodbye, and I don’t think that it will ever get to that point. I just feel like this is a goodbye that’s just going to keep going on for another twelve years. I mean, we finished shooting this back in March. Well, first week of April we were done shooting it. Since then, I’ve seen Seth; I’ve seen Norman. I’ve seen other cast mates every now and then. We get together to do a lot of interviews like this. And now the show has been coming out, so it hasn’t really sunk in yet. I’m really looking forward to this Sunday, because that actually means finally, hopefully, most of the cast will be able to get together and look back on all of the work that we’ve done. It’s such a huge honor to be a part of this. This is a cultural phenomenon, in my opinion, and I was part of that narrative, and what an honor it has been. I had a chance to watch the final episode. I finally got to see it, and it’s big. The finale is huge, and I think that we the viewers will feel content and satisfied, but at the same time, I don’t want people to expect it to just be a nice bow at the very end, because it’s still going to go on, just like real life; nothing really ends.

Khary Payton and others of AMC's "The Walking Dead"

SUZANNE OF TVMEG.COM:   My question is for Seth.  Can you talk a little bit about how playing this character has helped you both personally and professionally?

SETH GILLIAM:   But that would make me somewhat of a bore, wouldn’t it? Just another actor talking about himself?

SUZANNE OF TVMEG.COM:   No…

SETH GILLIAM:   I’ve had an opportunity to see parts of the world I never thought I would. I’ve met people from all walks of life that I did not imagine when I first started out as an actor being able to have access to. I’ve seen places I didn’t think I’d see; I’ve met people I did not imagine meeting. I’ve had fantastic exchanges and experiences and conversations with people both about the show and about my life [directly related] to the show, or indirectly related to the show. I’ve made friends for life. My life has been enhanced and enriched in ways that I can’t really measure from being a part of the show. I guess that’s why I haven’t closed the book on how I feel about it, because I am so full from the experience that I’ve had on the show that I have no place to put up a wall with it, you know? And I don’t remember what the second part of your question is, because I’m trying to keep it short.

SUZANNE OF TVMEG.COM:   Professionally…?

SETH GILLIAM:   Professionally. Yeah, I’ve done a couple of films and a play since the movie ended, that I don’t believe I would have been able to do, that I would not have been the first choice for, if they’ve not seen my work on The Walking Dead. So, we’ll see if that continues moving forward, but it’s worked so far.

SUZANNE OF TVMEG.COM:   Thank you. I’m looking forward to the Teen Wolf movie a lot, and I love seeing your Facebook posts.

SETH GILLIAM:   Oh, thank you. Thank you. We have a lot of fun on Facebook, and Teen Wolf is going to be fantastic.

SUZANNE OF TVMEG.COM:   I’m really looking forward to it.

SETH GILLIAM:   Cool, thanks.

TONY TELLADO OF SCIFITALK:   Unlike from an acting standpoint, because some of the group is still with the Commonwealth, and some of the group is on the outside, do you guys mention that to each other in passing or to kind of keep the integrity of both those kind of performances, not kind of acting, knowing in the back of your mind that you know where it’s going on their end?  It’s a little convoluted question, but I’m just curious how you kind of stay in your own moments and not overlap?

ROSS MARQUAND:  It’s interesting, because I think a lot of frustration, not like a genuine frustration, but just more like a shucks kind of frustration, that we’ve had this last season is that it’s been so chopped up in terms of groups. I mean, we’ve kind of fallen into these little cliques this last season, and I really haven’t hardly seen Lauren or Khari at all this season, I think. And I can’t say if I will in the last episode, but I’m barely seeing a lot of people that I usually work with, or would like to have worked with more. And it’s very interesting, because I feel like, of course, we get the scripts ahead of time, and we get to read what happens, but it is very interesting to just keep track of every different group and where they are and how they’re fitting into this giant storyline. I mean, Angela and Scott laid out this incredibly ambitious and very involved final season, and there’s just so much going on. I mean, it’s espionage and things falling apart, both internally in Commonwealth, and outside of it as well. Then, how do we fit into all these groups? Who do we trust? There’re a lot of moving parts, and that is a great question. I don’t think we’ve ever really had a a strong consensus to a large degree of where everyone is at all times, but we, of course, get the scripts, and that’s the only real clues that we have of where everybody is.

SETH GILLIAM:   Well, you didn’t mean to infer or imply that you didn’t enjoy working with the actors that you were working and hooked up with this season.

ROSS MARQUAND:  No, I mean, I mostly worked with you.

SETH GILLIAM:   That’s why I need clarity.

ROSS MARQUAND:  And I am implying [that]. I mostly worked with you

SETH GILLIAM:   [laughs]

ROSS MARQUAND:  So, I am, yes.

SETH GILLIAM:   I just wanted to be clear. I just wanted to be clear. Yeah, it’s a lot to keep a track of. Ross is smarter when it comes to that kind of stuff than I am. I pretty much just learn my lines and hit my mark and hope that the editing would tell the story that that I was not taking on. I think there are so many things that you can concern yourself with as an actor to begin with, that when you start thinking of structure and minute plot details that aren’t directly related to you and your character in the moment, you can get a little lost planning ahead and missing the moment that you’re in. So, I did not undertake it, because as you know, as I said, I try to keep it simple, stupid.

LAUREN RIDLOFF:  Yeah, I also wanted to say, like Seth, I have to say, just watching you and some of the actors and other cast members, it’s such an intuitive sense for you at this point. And I felt like so many of the cast members already know their character so well, that it didn’t quite matter what was happening in the script. At that point, they just know how their character would respond in that specific moment. I definitely looked up to that and tried to incorporate that into my character as much as I could. Just over the last three seasons, now she’s developed. It was challenging and confusing, especially this season, just because we’re doing so much cross boarding, and the rewrites were insane. The scripts kept changing. The sides we got were sometimes different day to day. So, just looking at, you know, Norman, and looking to the other experienced actors, and they would just roll with it, and I always tried my best to kind of follow the experience that they had, the veterans of the show, but then I started to realize that part of my confusion was natural. That naturally just contributed to the storyline for the final couple episodes, because it is confusing, and you can feel that people are confused, and I think that’s just real. For me, putting all of that together, it’s definitely like a puzzle, a huge jigsaw puzzle without seeing the actual photo on the box to see how it’s supposed to come together. So, we just have no idea. We’re just trying to search for the pieces that fit.

KHARY PAYTON:   I think, at the end of the day, our job is to stay true to our character and their journey and that the pieces will come together, and sometimes it’s frustrating. Honestly, one of my favorite things is to frustrate the hell out of Greg Nicotero. They’re like, “I can’t do that.” You know damn, well Ezekiel can’t do that, And the beautiful, lovely exasperation of a man who is trying to please everyone, and I tear it all down, so we can build it back up. But seriously, our job is to stay in the moment, and the best thing that we can do, I think, for the production and for fellow cast mates when we’re standing across from each other, is give them a moment of truth that they can play off of, and, thankfully, one of the strengths of this show is that they have found people who give you truth when they’re playing these characters, and it’s awesome to see. It’s awesome to continue to be surprised by all of my cast mates, I mean, these three people here included. It’s humbling to be a part of a group of truth sayers in what many call “just a zombie show,” but there’s truth in this blood. Honestly, there’s usually truth in blood [laughs], but even in this fake blood

SETH GILLIAM:   You lost me Khary. What the fuck are you talking about? What about blood? What the fuck are you talking about?

KHARY PAYTON:   You know what? Next time I see you, we will have a drink my friend. I love you.

SETH GILLIAM:   Love you, too.

TV Interview!

Melissa Joan Hart, Emily Kinney, Justin Gaston, Rita Moreno and Marissa Jaret Winokur of "Santa Bootcamp" on Lifetime

Interview with Melissa Joan Hart, Emily Kinney, Justin Gaston, Rita Moreno and Marissa Jaret Winokur of “Santa Bootcamp” on Lifetime by Suzanne 11/7/22

This was a very fun movie and more original than your average Christmas movie. It was a great honor to speak with Rita Moreno because I grew up singing along with the “West Side Story” Broadway album, and I loved the movie. She played Anita in the movie and won an Oscar for it. She’s the only EGOT I’ve ever interviewed. It was also nice to speak to the others, of course, especially Justin Gaston, who was on “Days of Our Lives” and is married to Melissa Ordaway (Abby on “Young and The Restless“). They were all fun, but Rita was hilarious in her answers.

Connor: Mom, your new apartment is really cool. But you know what the coolest part is?

Chelsea: What?

Connor: You’re back and we’re together.

Chelsea: I’m so happy to be back. I missed you so much. And I look forward to spending so much time here together.

Connor: Can I decorate my new room however I want?

Chelsea: Uh, sure. Well, I mean, within reason. Maybe we can do it together. It’ll be our own special project.

Connor: Yeah, that would be fun.

Chelsea: Yeah. And we can do movie nights and we can eat popcorn and get special treats downstairs at crimson lights.

Connor: Awesome.

Chelsea: Just the two of us.

Connor: That sounds nice, mom. But will you promise me something?

Chelsea: Anything.

Connor: Promise you won’t disappear on me again?

Ashley: Hi. What are you doing here? I was on my way to see you. What’s wrong, honey?

Abby: Uh, sorry. I just — I couldn’t sit there any longer. It hurt too much.

Ashley: What’s going on? What? What? What?

Abby: [ Voice breaking ] Mom, it’s bad. It’s a really bad.

[ Sniffles ]

Diane: [ Sighs ]

[ Scoffs ] Why aren’t you responding to my messages?

Jack: As you can see, I am at work. I don’t want to be here late today. If you don’t mind, I really don’t have time for interruptions.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Obviously, you’re working. And I can see that you’re busy, but that is no excuse for ignoring my calls. I have an urgent matter that i need to discuss with you.

Jack: There is always something urgent with you. I’m sorry. I don’t have time for your drama right now.

Diane: Okay, well, maybe you don’t want to see me and you don’t want to speak to me, but you at least need to listen to what I have to say.

Nick: [ Sighs ] I guess, uh, see ya around?

Sally: [ Inhales sharply ] Yeah. Um…you know, after our talk earlier, I, uh — I don’t know. I feel like there’s still so much left unresolved. Would you maybe want to join me for a drink and find some answers? Wait. I just want to be clear. I still do not want to talk about your loan offer. So, if you bring it up…

Nick: We can discuss or not discuss whatever you want.

Sally: [ Breathes deeply ]

Chelsea: There’s something i need to share with you.

Connor: Okay. Sounds serious.

Chelsea: It is serious. I want to tell you where I’ve been the past few days. Do you remember when I was in the hospital last year?

Connor: Yeah. After you got out, we went to see grandma.

Chelsea: That’s right. Do you remember why I was in the hospital?

Connor: I thought it was because you were sick. Are you sick again? Is that what you need to tell me? Why do dermatologists worldwide recommend

Adam: Connor, everything is going to be okay. Just give your mom some time to explain, okay?

Chelsea: Last year, um… last year, I needed help because I was having trouble determining what was real. I was feeling lost, and i couldn’t distinguish what was right or wrong. I was feeling confused, so it was hindering me from focusing on what was important. But I recovered, and I thought that that was past me. And then over the past few days, I could feel myself slipping again, except it felt different this time. It, um… it felt worse, actually. So I decided it was best if i went back to the hospital.

[ Sighs ] Um… connor, tell me, do you — do you know what depression is?

Connor: I think it’s like being sad. Is that why you went to the hospital? Because you felt sad?

Chelsea: That was one of the reasons.

Connor: [ Voice breaking ] I’m sorry, mom. I didn’t mean to make you sad. I didn’t mean to hurt you about johnny or me or anything else. I was just scared.

Chelsea: Oh, connor.

Connor: [ Exhales heavily ]

Phyllis: Hmm.

Tucker: Mm.

[ Chair legs scrape ] Let me buy you a drink.

Tucker: No, I’m just waiting on a to-go order.

Phyllis: Oh, come on. One drink. Sit down. It’ll be fun. You work so hard. Come take a load off.

Sally: So, how do you think things are gonna go at newman media under the new leadership?

Nick: Well, I don’t know if nate’s the right man for the job. And I hate to say it, but his recent behavior has me questioning the man’s integrity.

Sally: Really?

Nick: Plus, I was a real big fan of the old regime. You made a believer out of me, sally. I know you may not be open to it, but I’m hoping you take my offer for a loan as a vote of confidence in your talent.

Sally: As opposed to…?

Nick: Personal favor, i guess.

Sally: [ Clears throat ] Well, despite the fact that you promised not to press me on the issue, I am very grateful for your generous offer.

Nick: Great. Then we can, uh —

Sally: But before you say anything else, I do want to make something perfectly clear. I do not want anyone, including you, thinking that I’m trying to manipulate a romantic situation. ‘Cause there is going to be a ton of people out there who will immediately jump to that conclusion. We both know who they are. That is 100% not who I am. And if there is any doubt on that, then I don’t want your money.

Jack: Honestly, I’m really not interested in what you have to say. Lately, there is always some fresh hell.

Diane: The hell started when tucker mccall came back to town. Jack, you need to watch out for him.

Jack: Why?

Diane: Because there is one last thing about the deal I made with tucker out in L.A. That i haven’t told you yet.

Jack: Of course there is.

Diane: What you don’t know is that tucker wanted me to share any information or documents i could find pertaining to the financial stability of jabot.

Jack: What?

Diane: Yes, he’s obviously looking for a weakness that he can use to exploit the company.

[ Folder thuds ] But I — no! I never gave tucker anything. I mean, you have to know that i would — I would never do that to you or kyle.

Jack: One more lie. One more secret. One more deceit. Another shoe dropping, right on schedule! If you were so loyal, if it was so important for me to have this critical information, why did you hold on to it for so long? Why is it coming out just now?

Diane: [ Sighs ] How white do you think your teeth really are?

Diane: I wanted to tell you before, but I didn’t want to cause any more problems for the family than necessary. Really. Before tucker came back to genoa city, I had no intentions of giving him any information about jabot. But then once he showed up here, I knew that whatever he had planned was not going to be derailed by my lack of cooperation.

Jack: How many times did i ask you if there was more to your arrangement with mccall?

Diane: [ Sighs ] I-I know. I-I know. I was — I was trying — I was trying to handle it by myself and — and making it all go away. I was looking for the perfect opportunity to set a trap for him. I thought that if I could discover his true intentions, then I could catch him red-handed. Jack, you do remember what a ruthless man tucker is. And not to mention all the dangerous people he’s been associated with.

Jack: Yeah, you told me you had plenty of dangerous people in your life, as well.

Diane: [ Sighs ] You mean jeremy stark. And that is exactly who I’m talking about. Because I didn’t get the information to tucker about jabot, he is threatening to use jeremy as a way to get revenge on me.

Jack: Wait. How does he intend to do that?

Diane: Tucker has already told ashley about my connection to jeremy. Jeremy served 6 years of a 10-year prison sentence, but he’s about to be released, and we can be sure that he is not coming out reformed. And now — now, on top of that, nikki and phyllis and ashley are threatening to plant the idea in jeremy’s head that I helped put him away. If they’re successful, he’s gonna want payback.

Abby: I think my marriage might be over.

Ashley: What are you talking about?

Abby: Chance doesn’t think he’s the right person for me. And the worst part is he doesn’t think he wants to be.

Ashley: I don’t understand, honey. You found him. You brought him home when everybody thought he was dead. I mean, you’ve been by his side every step of the way. He went through all this trauma, and there you were. And now he wants to leave this marriage without provocation?

Abby: But he was. He — he was provoked.

Ashley: Did he cheat on you?

Abby: No, mom.

[ Sniffles ] It wasn’t chance. Chance didn’t do anything wrong. It was me. I cheated on him.

[ Sighs heavily ]

Adam: [ Sighs ] Come here, connor. Listen to me.

Connor: [ Sniffles ]

Adam: Nothing that happened is your fault. None of the things your mother is dealing with right now you caused, okay?

Chelsea: Your father is telling you the truth. This is not about one thing that happened or one person. The truth is I have been struggling with a few things in my life, both past and present. But look how things have turned around for me, huh? I was looking for a stable, safe place to live, besides the hotel, and look — I found this great apartment, right?

[ Sighs ] Connor, I — I was just struggling with, um, some stuff with my work. And then — and then we lost rey so suddenly. I know that was really hard on us, right?

Connor: I miss him.

Chelsea: I know. And then I think it was just hard for me when johnny didn’t embrace the news about me being his biological mom. Giving birth to the two of you is the best thing that has ever happened to me. You are my whole world. You know that, right?

Connor: Yeah.

Chelsea: Yeah. And I guess I just — I don’t know. I guess I was hoping, you know,

[Sighs] Johnny could be a part of our family and he could add some light to a life that is already so bright because you’re in it. But it’s not johnny’s fault, either. You know, he’s — he’s allowed to have his feelings.

[ Sighs ] Anyway, um, I am working really hard with my doctors at the hospital to figure out why i went through this period of sadness and — and how I can get better.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Connor: Is it over now?

Nick: Sally, I don’t think you’re manipulating our relationship. There’s nothing illicit about this. But I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable on account of me or anyone else for the motivation of me offering you this loan.

Sally: I’m sorry. It’s just, enough people assume that adam only hired me for personal reasons that I can’t help worrying that it might happen again.

Nick: Look, I’m not gonna deny that our relationship means a lot to me. But it’s got nothing to do with this offer. I saw early on when we were working together, before we got involved, that you’re a very talented woman. And chloe’s obviously a very driven person, and I think the two of you make an incredible team. So, if you do, in fact, want to start your own fashion label, there’s just no chance it doesn’t become a powerhouse. So, why wouldn’t I want to help you achieve that?

Sally: There’s just one problem. I don’t want to start another fashion line.

Sally: Running newman media gave me a taste of something bigger. You know, I realized I’m capable of so much more than just designing dresses. I mean, of course I still love the fashion world and can undeniably out-design the best of them. But I don’t know. I just feel like going back to where chloe and I were before is taking a step backward.

Nick: There’s nothing wrong with taking a step backward, sally. Sometimes you got to do that to propel yourself forward.

Sally: I know. And I’m not saying that I have to start at the top. I just… I don’t know. I might want to try something new.

Nick: Like what?

Sally: Well, I thought about maybe putting my fashion sense into interior design or an event-planning business. I don’t know yet.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Well, I think you’d be successful in either one of those arenas. Take interior design, for example. You could combine your amazing artistic sense along with your keen eye for what looks good. There’s just no way it fails. That goes for anything you put your mind to. And here’s the thing, sally — you don’t have to have all the answers right now. You take it one step at a time. And I hope you know, if you want, I’ll be right there by your side to help you figure it all out.

Phyllis: I would like to propose a toast.

Tucker: To what?

Phyllis: You. And, uh, the interesting tidbit you gave to ashley about diane and her activity in los angeles with jeremy stark.

Tucker: I hope you can put it to good use.

Phyllis: Absolutely. No stone unturned.

Tucker: Glad to hear it.

Phyllis: I’m not done. I have another stone.

Tucker: What stone’s that?

Phyllis: You. Why are you here, tucker? What are you doing back in this town? What do you plan to get out of all of this?

Ashley: You cheated on chance? Oh, honey. I’m assuming this is just a one-time, meaningless mistake, right? And you’re never gonna see this person again?

Abby: [ Sniffles ] This person is gonna be a part of our lives forever. Or, at least, dominic’s life.

Ashley: You slept with devon?

Abby: [ Sighs ] We were both feeling so alone and isolated. Amanda was in virginia for who knows how long, and chance — he’s just always working. I-I don’t know. It just happened.

Ashley: I know, honey. Sometimes things just happen. Sometimes they just happen.

Chelsea: As your mom, i always want to be honest with you. And I want this sadness to stop. I really do. But it’s an illness. It’s not like a physical one, like a — like a cold or an infection, but a mental one. So I need help from my doctors to learn how to manage it and how to make it go away. But unfortunately, these things take time.

Connor: But if it isn’t physical, how bad did it have to be for you to know you had to go to the hospital?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Um… it was very bad. It hurt very intensely on the inside. Even if people couldn’t see it on the outside, the — the pain was unbearable. And I — I just wanted it to stop.

Connor: Was it so bad you wanted to die? Vicks vapostick.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Connor: Hey, you guys, I’m not a kid anymore. I know what it means to un-alive yourself.

Chelsea: What?

Adam: Un-alive yourself? Where did you hear that?

Connor: [ Sighs ] It’s what they call it online. When someone doesn’t want to live anymore, they un-alive themselves. You can’t use other words for it without getting into trouble on some sites.

Chelsea: Okay, well, I-I-I do not love that you’re seeing those kinds of things online. But, um — ugh. But…yes. There was a moment when my head told me the pain would go away if I wasn’t here anymore. Not because there aren’t wonderful things in my life — because there are. It’s just the pain was so heavy, I couldn’t feel those wonderful things through all the sadness. It was a scary, terrible time for me. I was feeling desperate and alone with nowhere to turn. But the point is, I don’t feel that way anymore. And I promise I am going to work so hard so I never feel that way again.

Connor: I’ll help you, mom.

Chelsea: [ Exhales sharply ]

Sally: I hope you know that your belief in me means everything. Which is why I am going to turn down your generous offer.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Are you sure? I know you told chloe you were gonna consider it.

Sally: As I said before, I do not want anyone thinking, including myself, that if my business succeeds —

Nick: When your business succeeds.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Okay.

When my business succeeds, it’s only because nick newman bankrolled me. Or because you fought for me to keep my job at newman media. Or even because adam newman made his girlfriend ceo. I want it to be because I did it myself. Because chloe and I are just that good. Does that make sense?

Nick: Yeah. And as much as I want to be by your side to help you, I cannot wait to see you triumphantly rise to the top.

Sally: Well, maybe you can be by my side…in a different way. If that’s what you want.

Nick: Yeah. Um… every time I’m with you, it never fails to make me want to spend more time with you.

Sally: Well…then I guess the question becomes… what are we, really? You know, are we just friends? Or is this going somewhere?

Nick: I sure hope so.

Jack: I appreciate you telling me the truth. It gives the family, the company time to prepare for whatever tucker has up his sleeve.

Diane: Well, good. I’m — I’m hoping you can outsmart him.

Jack: How much have you told kyle about this situation?

Diane: Well, I told him about jeremy’s release and my fears on that end. And thankfully, he vowed to protect me. But that’s exactly why I didn’t tell him about tucker’s demands for jabot’s financials or my plan to try to trap him. I was scared that kyle, being the protective son that he is, would — would try to confront tucker immediately.

Jack: Yeah, you’re probably right about that.

Diane: Yeah, and I refuse to expose him to that level of threat.

Jack: Last thing I want to do is put my son in a dangerous situation. Look, I have to ask. Did you have a hand in putting this man behind bars?

Diane: Yes. I made a deal — immunity for turning him in anonymously.

Jack: I suppose you did the right thing.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Jack: I mean, he couldn’t commit any more crimes. He… you extricated yourself from the situation.

Diane: Jack, I have told you, and I have told kyle. Nobody else can know. And your sister is not helping things by doing everything she can to put stark on me.

Jack: I’ve talked to ashley. I’ve told her to back off.

Diane: Well, obviously, she didn’t listen. Ho. Ho. Ho.

Sally: [ Exhales heavily ] This feels right.

Nick: I know we said we were just gonna come in for a drink. But how would you feel about going out and celebrating?

Sally: Depends on what we are celebrating.

Nick: So much.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: This new chapter for us, your new possible business venture.

Sally: Whatever it is.

Nick: It’s still worth celebrating. I’m gonna go shower, which is also an invitation for you to come into the shower.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Tucker: I’ll tell you exactly what I’ve told everyone else who’s asked. My sole focus is ashley. Um…I’ve made a lot of big mistakes in my life, and — and breaking her heart was possibly the biggest. And there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t wish I could take that back.

Phyllis: Hmm. Done some soul searching, have you?

Tucker: Yes, actually. Some deep soul searching. I admit that I asked diane to update me on ashley, but the reason is I missed her and, uh, I wanted to know if maybe she’d found someone else. Then I noticed how easily diane had slipped back in with the abbotts, so I figured maybe i could do it, too.

Phyllis: Uh-huh.

Ashley: Honey, I know that you and chance love each other. You love each other so much. I think if he could forgive you, you — you could get past this.

Abby: I don’t know. I don’t know if this is something that he can just get past…

Ashley: Well —

Abby: …Enough to save our marriage.

Ashley: Step by step, okay? The first thing you’re gonna have to do is change your relationship with devon, honey. You’re gonna have to. I mean, just because he’s dominic’s biological father doesn’t mean the two of you have to be this close. I’m assuming that’s what got you in this situation, right?

Abby: So now I have to lose devon, as well?

Ashley: [ Sighs ] Well, what do you think? I mean, if chance does decide to forgive you and you do want to save your marriage, then he has every right to not want you and devon to be so close, honey, don’t you think?

Abby: Yeah. Yeah. I guess you’re right.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door slams ]

Jack: Good to see you, abby.

Abby: Hi, uncle jack.

Jack: Ashley, could I speak to you alone for a moment?

Ashley: I’m in the middle of something with my daughter.

Abby: No, mom, it’s fine. I actually I have to get home to dominic.

Ashley: Are you sure?

Abby: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love you.

Ashley: Honey, I love you so much. It’s gonna be okay.

Abby: Thank you for the talk. Bye, uncle jack.

Ashley: I’ll call you, honey.

[ Door opens ]

Ashley: Oh, what? Are you here riding to diane’s rescue once again?

Jack: I thought I made it clear you were to leave diane alone.

Ashley: And just because you said it doesn’t mean I’m going to do it.

Adam: Connor, your mom and I — we didn’t share this with you to scare you. We shared it with you because honesty is important.

Chelsea: And, you know, I — I regret keeping the fact that i was johnny’s biological mom a secret for so long. Moving forward, I’m not gonna keep anything from you. And we can talk about all of this today, tomorrow as long as you want. No shame, no secrets. We can talk about anything.

Adam: Yeah. And no matter what, we are a family. And we’re gonna get through this together. And for whatever reason, if you don’t want to talk to us about it, you can talk to sharon, you can talk to one of your teachers at school. But for no reason do you need to feel ashamed or embarrassed for your mother because she certainly isn’T.

Chelsea: That’s right. And in order to get through this, I have to face it head on. I have an illness and I am getting treatment and I am getting better. When you really need to sleep.

Nick: Thought you were coming in the shower. What’s got you so caught up?

Sally: I had an idea. It just came to me — a new business model. Look.

Nick: This is great. I mean, this is it. This is your gift. It’s your vision.

Sally: You really like it?

Nick: I do. Even if I can’t help you bring it to life, I cannot wait to see you and chloe run with this.

Sally: This is where I want to be.

Connor: Is it okay with you, dad, if I spend the night here with mom? I want to stay close so she knows she’s not alone and never has to be.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Yes, of course you can. I’ll grab a few of your things from the ranch and I will drop them back off here.

Chelsea: Bye.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

Connor: I don’t know what I’d do if something really bad ever happened to you.

Chelsea: Ohh. You don’t have to worry about that because that is never gonna happen. And I’m so happy you want to stay here. I’m so excited to spend time with you. But making me feel less alone is not your job. It’s my job to take care of you. And you know what?

Connor: What?

Chelsea: It’s the best job in the whole world.

Connor: [ Laughs ]

Chelsea: And I promise I am gonna work with my doctors and I am gonna get better. Because the two of us — we have a lifetime of things to do together.

Connor: [ Chuckles ]

Chelsea: Ahh.

[ Sighs ]

Tucker: Ah, finally. Thanks for the hospitality.

Phyllis: You are welcome.

Diane: Well, look at the two of you with your heads together.

Tucker: I was just leaving.

Diane: Oh, not on my account, I hope. As far as I’m concerned, you can collude all you want, but I’ve got to say — you’re not going to win.

Phyllis: You’re very confident, diane.

Diane: Yes, well, jack and kyle are in my corner, so no matter who or what you throw at me, they’ve got my back. So you and you and nikki and ashley are no match for us. So you better be prepared to come with everything you’ve got because this has officially turned into a war.

Jack: I cannot believe your audacity. I told you this is about one thing — protecting my son and preserving a relationship that means the world to kyle.

Ashley: Means the world to kyle or means the world to you?

Jack: Oh, come on.

Ashley: No. You know who diane is, and you know what she’s capable of. And yet, time and time again, we find out more things that she’s done. She runs to you. She says she’s the victim. She worms her way right back into your good graces, and you go out of your way to protect her again.

Jack: That’s a bit of an exaggeration, don’t you think?

Ashley: No, I don’t think that. I believe it’s an accurate observation, jack, because I’m watching you and you’re constantly going to battle for her. And I know you’re not taking into consideration the depth of her illegal activities.

Jack: You’ve got a lot of nerve, considering how tucker is using you right now, coercing you into doing his bidding. Did you know that he asked diane to pass along jabot financial information? Yeah, and he turned on her when she didn’t comply. That’s what this is about, Ashley. I guess your considerable charms didn’t extricate that particular secret from Tucker. He is looking for weaknesses in Jabot right now so that he can exploit them…the same way he is exploiting your hatred toward Diane. Whatever Tucker McCall is really after, it appears that you are his unwitting accomplice.

Next Week on “The Young and The Restless” —

Jack: While we are waiting for the first course, I thought we might go around the table and each say what we are most thankful for today.

Daniel: Lily.

Lily: Oh, my God!

Daniel: Look at you.

Lily: Wow, it’s so good to see you. What are you doing here?

Adam: I want to be with you. We belong together. Marry me, Sally.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Indistinct conversations ] Spinelli! Hey. Hey! You’re the most reliable person I know. For you to be late, there had to be a good reason, be it heavy traffic or mortal peril, and I certainly hope it wasn’t the latter. No, I’m just having a crazy day. But thank you for meeting me here. Yeah, well, I’m always happy to accommodate. And I am always grateful for your help. So…did you find anything on cody? Oh, I did. I did, I did, I did.

[ Chuckles ] Alright, mason, the latest off-the-books patient you wanted handled? It’s handled — free of charge, as promised. Good morning, sunshine! Stop yelling.

[Hushed] I’m sorry. I was — I was gonna see if you wanted to have — have breakfast together, but…

[Normal voice] Maybe hair of the dog would be better? I’m on duty. And you recommend drinking more?

[ Scoffs ] Wow. You are hurting. What’d you get into last night? Robert: You know, I think I’m gonna visit robin, patrick, and the kids over christmas. This, um — this business with anna… is making me think about family more and more. You’re — you’re family, too. You know that? Why don’t you join us out there? Ohh. Robert, I’d love to, but… but what? Come on, holly. I’ve known you ever since — well, hang on. Let me work it out. Say the year, and I will kill you instantly. I know you, and I know when something’s wrong. Now, what is it? Lucy. Good morning, laura. Going my way? Agent whitten is here. Great. Look, we both have been going at it all night trying to figure out what happened with anna’s escape. Not that I want to share that information with the U.S. Marshals’ office. Right. So why don’t we stall? Let’s go get some breakfast. Valentin cassadine left the metro court hotel at 8:17 this morning. Keep eyes on him. It’s a good bet he’ll lead us straight to anna devane.

[ Door rattling, keys jingling ] Rough night?

[ Exhales heavily ] What are you doing here? I couldn’t risk calling. Anna, it’s not safe for you to be here anymore.

How long you been standing there? Why? Would you rather I be someplace else? No, I’m — I’m — I’m really happy to see you. You just surprised me. That’s all. I’m just curious — lately, you’ve been called in to do all these last-minute surgeries that apparently no other surgeon or specialist can handle, even if they’re already on duty. Well, we’re short-staffed, so if I’m not on duty, I’m on call. I get that. I just can’t help but wonder… are you really doing all these surgeries or is it a cover for something else? So I didn’t exactly find the smoking gun we were hoping for in regards to cody’s true intentions towards britt westbourne, but I did find that mr. Bell has a juvenile arrest record. Yeah, but those are sealed when you’re 18. I was hoping for something more than misdemeanor d-and-d’S. D-and-d? Oh, you mean drunk and disorderly. I was thinking dungeons & dragons. Wait. On the other hand, if there’s a pattern of criminal behavior in cody’s past, I want to know. So, this juvenile arrest record, what’s in it? You go eat. I’ve lost my appetite. That guy turns my stomach. I don’t want to eat by — look, man, I don’t like him, either, but I think he is just doing his job, right? Whatever. Is something else bothering you? No. No? I can’t imagine you’d be this upset just about anna. Is something going on with cody? Did — did you guys get the — the dna results back? Britt: Went out with brad. We started at the metro court, ended at the savoy, but after the third kamikaze shot, things got a little fuzzy.

[ Whistles ] Sorry. Sorry. Why — why’d you go so hard? Britt, I don’t need to tell you that the symptoms you’re exhibiting might be indicative of a larger neurological or muscular disorder, so we need to run some tests to make sure… I don’t — I don’t — …that it’s not one of those big things. I don’t need a test because I know what’s going on. I have huntington’s disease. Um, it’d been a long time since brad and I had a good night out. I knew I’d pay for it today. But I didn’t care. Life is short, right? Yeah. Well, it sounds to me like a big ol’ greasy breakfast is just what the doctor ordered.

[ Pills rattling ] What do you say? You want to do a kelly’s run? Uh, thanks, but I don’t think my head or my stomach could handle it right now. Um… what’s the matter? Oh, I, uh — I-I realized that I-I can’t take these. Why not? You lost cassadine?! How?!

[ Sighs ] Damn it. Cassadine is a highly trained spy. Just like devane! Yeah, they’re both very skilled, but if they think they can outsmart me, well, they’d be wrong. I was just going to pay nikolas a visit. Oh, splendid! Then we can share the launch.

[ Chuckles ] On second thought, maybe not. I’m sure you have a cement life vest with my name embroidered on it. Oh, please. Wait. Laura. Can’t we put an end to this pointless feud between us? I think it has several very good points. Well, I’m not saying we don’t share a fraught history. Fraught? Quaint. But we also share a family. And my offer to work together for the good of that family still stands. Now, would that be the family that you all but destroyed while I was out of town? Well, it was your choice to leave. Well, I’m back now. And I’ll put it all back together again. And when I have… I’m gonna take you apart. I know you’re upset about lucy. We all are. It’s not only lucy. It’s martin. I-I’ve only met him twice and talked to him for probably 5 minutes, but…he’s suffering. I grieved loved ones enough in my time, and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Well, almost anyone. For the last two years. I thought you were dead. So, yeah, I understand grief. Robert, all of our friends have told me that you moved heaven and earth to find me, even when there was no hope. I hope you know how much that means to me. I would never bet against you, and I certainly wouldn’t do it ever again. I’ve been thinking a lot about us. And?

[ Exhales softly ]

well done. You’re a marked woman. Oh. Really? Has your father finally put a bounty on my head? It’s not just my father. Olivia jerome reached out. She’s made it clear — if you make it to pentonville with her, you’re not gonna last the night. I’d best not end up in pentonville, then. Proving your innocence is gonna have to wait. What the hell does that mean?! Our first priority is to get you out of the country. Try and pick up valentin cassadine’s trail again. At least we know we’re on the right track. If he wasn’t involved somehow, he wouldn’t have bothered to shake you. And remember — devane’s got no shortage of allies in this town. It’s only a matter of time until one of them leads us to her. Cody’s not my son. Oh. I’m sorry, mac. It is what it is. Yeah, but, you know, I-I think he, uh, could’ve really benefited from having someone like you in his life.

[ Door opens ] Good morning! Dante: Hey! I thought my two favorite detectives could use a little sustenance! Oh, you’re right, as always. Uh, I’ll go grab us some coffees, yeah? Okay. So… still looking for anna? Well, as much as I can with the U.S. Marshal breathing down my neck. I overheard him outside. Overheard? Mm-hmm. Yeah. He’s keeping a close eye on anyone who’s friendly with anna. Well, that’s near everybody, except, of course, the people that he should be keeping an eye on. Be careful. That’s good advice. So, what were you and dante talking about? Work. Oh, really? If I didn’t know you so well, I’d believe you. Did you tell dante about cody? So, I couldn’t actually access cody’s arrest record. How is that possible? You’re the jackal. Well, unfortunately, the — the — his juvenile records haven’t been uploaded to the database yet. The database. Oh. I wonder if dante knows about it. What do you think is in it? I don’t know. But I’m now more determined than ever to find out. Trust me. I’ve… absolutely been in surgery. What do you think I’ve been doing? Avoiding me. Maxie, I’m — I’m really sorry you feel that way. No, I haven’t been avoiding you at all. I — I really miss you. And I feel terrible that we haven’t been able to spend any time together lately. Me too. I started thinking you were keeping your distance from me because of my family. No. I — your — your family’s been nothing but lovely to me. Eh, not georgie or spinelli. Ah, well, I mean… technically, spinelli’s not really family, though, right? Well, he’s georgie’s father and my oldest and dearest friend in the whole world, so, yeah, he’s family. Yeah, you’re right. I’m sorry. Um… okay. Well, you know, how can i put your mind at ease? Maxie jones, your family is very important to me… because you’re very important to me. This bottle’S…

[Chuckles] Expired. Want some free medical advice? Don’t mess around with expired drugs. Hm. Yeah. I — I thought that was just a scam to get you to buy more. Well, you also thought putting eggs, bacon, and sausage in a booze-ravaged stomach would solve problems instead of creating new ones. Are you sure you’re okay? No, I’m not. Massive hangover, remember? But I’ve — I’ve seen you hungover. This is something else. Look, britt, if — if you need someone to talk to, I’m here. I mean, if not, that’s cool, too. It’s less desirable, but it’s cool. I have a lot of work to do. Alright. Uh, well, I’ll leave you to it. See you later. I-I’m free for dinner tonight. Can’t wait.

[ Knock on door ] Come in! Hey. Should I come back? No, no. Come — come in. Is this about the necklace? I hope so. Maybe I should stick around, considering it was my father’s and now maybe it’s mine. I can’t tell you how much it saddens me, this stubborn refusal on your part to see me as anything other than your enemy. I just hope one day you’ll be able to let go of this grudge. And if I don’t, then what? You’ll frame me for murder like you did to anna? Oh, please. I did no such thing. Believe me, I want lucy’s killer brought to justice as much as anyone else. Something we can agree upon after all. That… was wonderful. What was it for? Well, I just — you know, sitting here… mm-hmm. …Having breakfast with you after being apart for such a long time. And just… made me think about all of the chances that we missed and — and — and wished that… we’d made a proper go of it. We had a few good years. Yes, and they seemed long at the time. Oh, thank you. No, no. I mean… no. Full.

[Laughing] They seemed full at the time. Mm-hmm. But… but then they were over, and it was like we blinked, and now here we are. And I just — I wonder if we blink again then where will we be? And I — never mind. Mm-hmm.

[ Chuckles ] Anyway… hm. We were talking about lucy and martin. We’ll avenge lucy. We’ll clear anna. Yeah. And hopefully anna can stay out of sight until then. I wouldn’t worry about her. What do you mean? Well, I have it on good authority she’s somewhere safe and sound. You’ve heard from her? Yeah, last night, after we parted company.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Oh. Sorry. Excuse me. Oh. Please. Scorpio. You’ve got the address for the safe house? Okay. Text it to me. Yeah. Yeah. I’m gonna hook up with anna tonight.

I’m sorry about that. You’re the D.A. You’re obligated to answer your phone. Hmm.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Well… oh! Ohh! Ohh! Uh… could you — unh! Could you get me some club soda, please? On it. Ohh. You are a lifesaver. Thank you! You know, I just love coming to your rescue. Oh, some good news. Um, I’ve made an appointment… mm-hmm. …With kevin. He’s gonna try and help me with my memory issues. Oh, I’m glad to hear it. But he’s squeezing me in today, so I’m gonna have to go now. Absolutely. We’ll, uh, talk later? Yeah.

[ Button clicks ]

[ Cellphone rings ] Yes? We need to meet. Oh, spinelli! Maxie! How — how fortuitous! Hello, austin. Hey, spinelli. I’m — I’m glad you’re here. I’ve been wanting to talk to you about something. Can’t imagine what for. I-I-I’m trying to plan this kind of fun weekend, you know, for the kids, maybe — maybe take them up to the mountains or something. That’s sweet! Isn’t it? Uh, yeah, of course. But I’m a little afraid that georgie’s gonna say no. Well, I mean, she — she is her own person. She makes up her own mind. I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do. You could encourage her to join us. Oh, I can’t imagine that either of us would want me to do anything to curb our daughter’s independence.

[ Cellphone beeps ] Um, excuse me. I got to deal with this. You know, I should probably go. Spinelli! Enough. I’m really getting sick of this. Actually, cody, I can’t discuss anything in front of you without britt’s permission. Permission granted. Cody is right. This does concern him. That’s — that’s not gonna be a problem with you, is it, sam? No. Whatever my client wants. Britt, I’m gonna forward you this to make it easier, okay? I uncovered some documentation from taub’s estate. He had an itemized list of his jewelry collection drawn up to be included in his will. It included a ruby and diamond necklace matching the description from the one from peter’s safe deposit box. Okay. What does — what does this mean? Well, it means, more likely than not, the necklace… belongs to cody. Dante was supportive. I appreciate what he’s trying to do. But the bottom line is, I’m not cody’s father. And it’s killing you. I’ve made peace with it. Any chance that you’re overcompensating for your disappointment by throwing yourself into your work? Felicia, a police transport crashed. Two fugitives escaped. Okay? One of them, our friend anna who’s being framed for murder. Not to mention the fact that there’s a killer on the loose slashing people up with a hook. With all that going on, who the hell cares what I feel about a dna test?! I’m standing right here. I want to know. What do you want me to say? What do you want me to say? That I’m disappointed? That a part of me wishes that I finally ended up with a child of my own? That would be a start. Mayor collins. Agent whitten. U.S. Marshal service. Right. You’re — you’re the new federal agent that my deputy mayor brought in to, um, take over the hunt for anna devane? I hope I can count on your support regardless. Regardless of…? Your personal relationship with the fugitive. All the resources of my office are at your disposal. And what about you, madam mayor? Are you at our disposal? I’ll do what I can. Great. Tell me everything you know about valentin cassadine.

[ Chuckles ] I know that he is the father of my granddaughter, but I — I just don’t see how that’s going to help you in your efforts. I have it on good authority that mr. Cassadine has information on the whereabouts of the fugitive. Uh-huh. Well, I’d like to help you, but valentin and I are not close. Full disclosure — I’m aware of your daughter lulu’s condition. What would that have to do with anything? If mr. Cassadine aided or abetted ms. Devane in any way, that puts a target on his back, as well. You wouldn’t want your granddaughter to be without both her parents, would you?

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Sighs ] I guess I-I can’t risk whitten catching me. Your ride’s gonna be here in an hour. What? That’s a bit presumptuous of you. I was hoping you’d choose pragmatism over heroism for once. You think you know me really well, huh? I do know you, and I’m looking forward to getting to know you better when you come home. When do you think that will be? Rough estimate. Get you to safety, clear your name. I thought we weren’t doing that. And then we bring you home to everyone who loves you. We’ll be waiting. Promise? Come here.

[ Buoy bell ringing, waves crashing ] Holly! Pull up a chair. So, what news do you have for me from our esteemed D.A.? I know where anna’s safe house is. Go on. 199 hidden hills drive. Well done! I must admit I was expecting a little more reluctance. Why are you making this so easy? If I’m g onna be forced to betray my friend…

[ Cellphone chimes ] …I want to make this end as quickly and safely as possible. Well, change of plan. I’m afraid you’re going to have to alert the authorities as to anna’s whereabouts. Are you afraid they’ll trace your number? Uh, no. It’s another matter I have to take care of. Huh — actually, it’s something that could turn out to be your next assignment. I’ll be in touch. The more I try to get georgie to accept austin, the worse it gets. Well, perhaps our daughter is just an excellent judge of character. Or perhaps she’s taking her cues from you.

[ Sighs ] Look. Maxie, y-you’ve asked me to be respectful of your relationship with dr. Gatlin-holt, and I have done so. Okay, but I can’t lie to our child. And frankly, maxie, I-I can’t lie to you. I don’t like austin. Okay? I-I have no reason to believe that he’s involved in anything nefarious. It’s just — he’s not the second coming of peter august, no, but he just doesn’t — he doesn’t ring true. I — what — what does that even mean? In the 18th century, you could tell if a coin was counterfeit by dropping it, if — and if the sound rang true, you knew it wasn’t lead.

[ Groans ] And — and you think austin’s made of lead? So faison or peter stole the necklace? No, not necessarily. But, I mean, you said that… I said that the documentation that I found proves that the necklace was in taub’s possession at the time of his death, but it doesn’t rule out that faison could have purchased it from the estate. But, I mean, wouldn’t there be a record of that sale? It’s — [ Chuckles ] It’s worth $35 million. Well, there may be evidence of a third party legally selling the necklace. I just haven’t found it yet. But it’s more likely that the necklace, along with the rest of taub’s collection, was left to any heirs that he may have had. And that’s me. If there are no other heirs. Wow. Here I thought I was getting a windfall when we found that necklace, but turns out it might all be yours. Well, again, not necessarily. If a sales record to peter or faison shows up, it could wind up being yours after all.

[ Knock on door ] Hi. Pardon me. Dr. Westbourne, I need a consult.

[ Clears throat ] Excuse me. So…what else might I need to know? I know why you coerced spinelli into matching you with britt. It’s the necklace. That’s what you’ve been after all along, isn’t it? Raising your girls, being a father figure to them. Mac, you were a father, not just a figure. It was the honor of my life.

[ Chuckles ] But seeing you and maxie… that bond… …it becomes clear that that’s an experience that I missed out on. I wish you could have had that. And then cody shows up out of nowhere. And, uh… I thought maybe I’d finally get a shot at it. Mac, when you found out that you… well, that cody wasn’t your son, it wasn’t just a disappointment. It was a loss. You’re allowed to grieve your loss. Cody and I barely knew each other. I mean, we only started to make headway like five minutes before the bomb got dropped, so now — now we just need to move on. Ohh. If only it were that simple.

[ Sighs ] Would I want my granddaughter to be orphaned? Is that what you’re asking me, agent whitten? I apologize if my style is a bit, um — inappropriate? Aggressive? Rude? What I should have just said was… working with me is the best way to ensure both anna devane’s and valentin cassadine’s safety.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Excuse me. Agent whitten. You have my attention.

Okay, so, I called in a favor. There’s a dr. Talone — maybe the top huntington’s specialist in the country. She happens to be at a conference in toronto, and she’s agreed to drive down to meet with you today. Today? Yeah.

[ Exhales sharply ] That — that — that’s soon. I-I can’t just meet her last minute. Britt. I have work. No. No. Don’T. Don’t avoid this, okay? Dr. Talone can tell you definitively whether or not the symptoms that you’re experiencing are the onset of huntington’S. Isn’t that a piece of information that you need? How could I have known about the necklace? Cody, stop. I’ve run dozens of cons more complicated than this one. I’m not running a con. You could have known about the necklace when you found out that you might be taub’s son. Okay, look, I get that you don’t trust me because I “blackmailed” your friend, but — I’d say that’s a pretty good reason. And I apologized for it. And I told you I’d leave spinelli alone. Good. I told you you better.

[ Chuckles ] Come on, sam. We used to be friends. Cody, we are not friends. You are dante’s friend, and I gave you the benefit of the doubt because of that. You are raising major red flags right now. W-why? Why? Because I’m interested in a one-of-a-kind necklace that may have belonged to my long-lost father? What’s wrong with that? When said necklace turns up in a safe deposit box that belongs to britt? That seems pretty convenient, don’t you think? And then you used blackmail to be paired with her. I don’t know. That certainly seems like an agenda. Well, no one’s squeaky clean.

[ Chuckling ] I’m not. You’re not. And not even dante. I think austin is — is a mix of good and bad, like everyone. And while it is unacceptable for georgie to be rude to him, if she doesn’t want to spend time with him, I don’t see why she should have to. Welcome back. Hi. How’s your patient?

[ Cellphone ringing ] Stubborn, but you know me. Ever hopeful. Oh. Now it’s my turn. James’ school.

[ Ringing continues ] Uh…

[ Sighs ] Hey. Hey. Come on, spinelli. Did — did you get a chance to run the algorithm on me and maxie like you agreed? Technically, I never agreed. I kept your secret for you. All I’m asking is for one tiny, little favor in return. Okay, why — why do you even need the algorithm? Alright? She — she already thinks you’re compatible. I need it. For reasons you could never possibly understand. We’ll get through this. Okay. We will. An d when we do, I’ll never letanything get in our way again.

[ Sighs ] We can’t control the world. There’s always going to be something. And I will fight it. Whatever it is. I’ll fight for you. Always. Felicia: Dante’s back! With — oh, that’s not your usual swill, is it? Well, I might have snuck some corinthos in there, but don’t tell anybody. You want some? Oh, no, that’s okay. You two stay and enjoy your breakfast. Clearly, you have your work cut out for you. Yeah. Mm. Chief scorpio. Detective falconeri. I’m glad you’re here, too. Is there something we can help you with, agent whitten? The mayor wanted me to bring you in on this. We have a lead on anna devane. I’ve got a task force headed to her location now. Would you like to ride with me? S-sure. That’s the job. Right this way, then. How worried should we be? Very.

What about dante? It’s — never mind. Just forget I said anything. No. You brought it up. Just tell me. What shady thing did dante do?

[ Door opens ] Did I miss something? No, no. We’re — we’re all good. Right, sam? Yeah. Sure. I was just leaving. U-unless you needed anything? No, no, I’m — I’m good. Thanks, sam. Okay. Great work, as always. Thank you. I’ll be in touch about the necklace. Hm. Did something happen with dr. Gatlin-holt? Just discussing a patient. I do have some bad news, though. I have to take a rain check on our plans. Okay. How crazy is all this business about that necklace? Britt, are you sure you’re okay? Don’t worry about me. You just inherited some major coin! How are you feeling about all this? Cody: Um, it’s a lot to process. I mean, did you ever think that when you parachuted into port charles, you’d end up inheriting a part of the infamous ice princess diamond? Spinelli. Spinelli: Oh, hey. You — you waited. Yeah. I just — I-I really wanted to assure you that I will start post-haste digging up cody’s juvenile misdeeds. It’s about time that someone gets the comeuppance they so deserve. Um, about that. I think we’re gonna put a pin in digging up cody’s arrest record. Why? Um, I just — I don’t know. I think it’s complicated. And we should probably try another angle. Okay. I-I don’t understand. Why’d you change your mind? I have my reasons. Just trust me. Leave it alone for now. Okay.

[ Groans ] Damn. Valentin’s phone keeps going to voicemail.

[ Sighs ] I’m gonna text him. What are you gonna say? “Call me. It’s about charlotte.” That’s the best way to get a quick response. What about you? Can you contact anna? Anna can only contact me. It’s not the other way around.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh. It’s mac. He says the van is pulling up in front of the house now. He says that agent whitten won’t hesitate to take anna down if she won’

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 I don’t think I’ve seen a smile like that since 12 year old Alex discovered the Sports Illustrated swimsuit.

You’re home. Yes. Live and in person. Oh, good to see you. Good see you. How is the visit with the twins? Arizona was great and warm. Good. Joseph and Vic send their love really well actually , they, uh, said to tell you that they didn’t miss you at all. But I think that’s their way of sending love . I’ll give ’em a call.

Now I’d like to think that my return was responsible for that big grin, but I have a feeling it had something to do with a woman, not just any woman. Dad, I shared my first kiss with the woman of my dreams. Wow. I can’t wait to hear about it, but first I need to track down my dream. Girl. Where’s Bunny? How how?

We’re down here. We get up by the joke. Keep it down. I removed your gag so you could eat, not violate the noise ordinance. Well, I’m an overachiever. I could chew gum and walk at the same time too. Why didn’t you And time me so I can show you. You’ll be out of here soon enough. And two, then you need to eat something.

Why would I eat anything you gave me? You, Lisa, with fertilizer. Why would I poison you? I don’t know. Why would you wear a clown mask and terrorize people like a. Talk to your pal Susan. She resisted it first, but she’s been eating. Nothing terrible happened to her. You’ll come around eventually. Eventually.

What do you mean by that? How long are you gonna keep us in this hell hole? Until EJ Dara pays his mother’s ransom.

Where the hell is an neighbor calling? You realize this all could have been resolved by now if you simply paid the ransom. If you’re assuming that Ava Vitale would make good on her promise to let my mother go, well, all she wanted was money, and who’s to say that once you got the 20 million, she wouldn’t ask for more.

We cannot negotiate with terrorists. But haven’t you yourself become one by kidnapping the woman’s son? Ava needed to learn how far I would go to get my mother back. And how’s your brilliant plan working out now? Because from what I see, it looks like a good old fashioned standoff.

I admit. I overestimated Ava’s human. But she knows I have trip and she knows, I mean business. I mean, what kind of a woman would gamble with the life of her only living son, A woman who’s up against a man who’s willing to gamble with his mothers?

It hasn’t. Steve called, maybe he hasn’t found troop yet. There’s nothing to report. Or maybe the rescue went south. Maybe Steve busted in all cowboy style only to find trip’s, lifeless body, and now he’s afraid to call you. Don’t worry, mom, even if Steve can’t save your precious trip, you still have me.

Always.

What can I get ya? Shot of bourbon.

Anything else? Yeah,

the location of this kid.

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

Oh am sorry to report dad, that Bonnie is not home. Oh. Could you go out? Uh, maybe on a magnificent mile. Come again. Aunt Maggie told me last night that Bonnie went to go see her daughter Mimi in Chicago. Really? Yeah. Apparently there was some kind of an emergency. She was supposed to set up an anniversary dinner for Aunt Maggie and Uncle Victor.

Then she just took off. That’s odd. What she didn’t tell you. Not a word. Which is not like Bonnie at all. What’s taking your son so long to pay up? You two are on good terms, right? Well I know he loves you, but he sure has taken his sweet time forking over the ransom. Wait. You can understand him. It shows you how long you’ve had us tied up together.

I’m working on it. Suz. Hey Pennywise. It’s been fun, but I really need to get the hell outta here. I get it. And since I want this over just as much as you do, since I will not let this situation destroy my life. I will get you out of here. I’m sure Demer will pay up Ben very soon. You better hope so, because my husband is due back today and when he finds out about this, he will not be as casual about my life as EJ is about his mother’s life.

No, I’m sorry. I’m just frustrated. Okay. You’re not eating. I’m leaving. Okay, bozo. It’s only a matter of time before my husband realizes I’m missing. And boy, let me tell you when that happens. Tell me what you ever hear Of the tears of a clown.

A watched phone never rings. Stop. Stop talking. Okay, that’s fine. Not a word. Think of me as a, uh, a silent partner. Are we Sure The patchy is up to the whole trip Rescue. Steve will come through. I trust him. . Oh, that’s amazing. What? Just that you continue to trust somebody that’s put his own family over you again and.

That isn’t what happened, isn’t it? No. Then how would you describe it? You don’t know anything. I’ll tell you what I do know, mother, that I am the only one that you have ever been able to really count on. Not Trip, not Jake Damara and sure as hell, not Steve Johnson.

Sorry. Don’t recognize him. You sure? Look again, I. Look, we get a lot of people coming in and outta here all the time. What’s this all about anyway? Someone snatched this kid from his apartment. We have reason to believe that whoever took him frequents this establishment. Are you a cop? You see me flashing the badge?

Well, you never can be too careful these days. I hear that. So view ain’t five. Oh. And why are you so interested in some punk kid who went missing? It’s not me who’s interested. It’s my boss. Yeah. And who’s your boss? I am.

And who the hell is this? Hey, you don’t talk to the boss that way. Oh, okay. And who is this? Go ahead. Tell him. You never heard of the vitals, the Vitali Grand family. Well, sure. They. Run Philly since the time of prohibition. Oh, you’re damn right. We have, we, yeah, the vitals run Philly, and I run the vitals.

This is my boss, Hava Vital, and this kid, this picture right here, that’s my son and I want him back. Safe and San, or somebody’s heading for a slumber party with the fish down in Lake Washington,

just leave me alone. Go away.

Who are you talking to? Who’s coming on, Nick? Nothing. I just, um, I thought I saw a rat. What the hell are you doing here? Who’s watching? Susan? Susan’s fine. Don’t worry about her. The DJ pay the Ranson. Not yet. Why the hell not? This is supposed to be a quick job. It’s, we’re already on day two. It’s taking so long.

He’s got my kid. Okay.

Something to take the edge off. Thank you. And how you’re under a great deal of pressure. I don’t mean to be judgmental about this. No. Don’t you know I care about Susan. You think I’m not worried about my mother. Of course you are. Which is, I’m concerned that you’re allowing your pride in your stubbornness to influence your decision making.

That’s not what this is about. It seems like you’re trying to teach Ava a lesson. Why wouldn’t I? That woman made our family a target. You know, the quickest way of ever coming this debacle is to let the boy go. I’d be giving up all my leverage over Ava. Is that what you’d have me do? Surrender and trust that woman not to hurt my mother.

Am I interrupting?

Hi, honey, it’s me. Um, I just got back from Arizona. Alex told me that you’re visiting Mimi. I hope everything’s okay. Uh, can you gimme a call when you get this? I wanna make sure that, uh, everything’s all right. Love you. I’m sure everything is fine. Dad. Something was wrong. She. Brian? Yeah, yeah, of course. You know what the emergency is?

Probably some new toy that her granddaughter wants. She’s probably scouring every toy store in Chicago as we speak.

I will never understand rich people. I mean, come on, EJ Deira has more money than God and Elon Musk put. Why won’t the cheap son of a bitch pay the grandson? Doesn’t he even care about his mama? Of course he cares about his mama and just, who are you calling? The son of a female dog, Missy. Susan? Yes. That’s my name, sweetheart.

Don’t wear it out.

So instead of paying you around some EJ kidnap trick, I knew I shouldn’t have trusted that bastard. Ah, that’s it. We have to call the whole thing off and let Susan go before someone gets hurt. How do you know if we let Susan go that EJ won’t still do something to trip? Hmm mm-hmm. No. I cannot risk it. And besides, if EJ doesn’t pay Susan’s ransom, then you don’t get paid either.

So how was the money? I don’t want Susan’s or trips blood on my hands. Oh, since when did you grow a conscience? See Sarah. Okay. Since I married someone who believes me, I’m bad enough. I kidnap Susan For you, I mean, someone ends up dead, no one’s gonna die. How do you know? Because I, look, I can’t go into detail.

Okay. But I’ve got a plan in Motion to rescue. No offense saver, but that doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence. It’s gonna work. Okay. Trust me. Trust you. Stay the course. Okay, go back to Susan and wait to hear from me. I dunno what you’re asking of me. Really? How hard is it to babysit one woman? That’s just, it’s so long as just one woman.

I won’t have you talk in that trash about my Elvis. What In the multiverse of madness is going on. I’m hearing your thoughts. Yes, sweetheart. And I’m hearing yours. Some of them are downright filthy, by the way. Like that fantasy you were having about Mr. Justin Kiya is dressed as a fireman, rescued you from a Burnham building and that big old hose mouth got like, Stop.

What? Stop getting inside my brain. Where you in such a cranky pants? You gotta admit it’s pretty cool. I have you known my powers helped those sweet star crossed lovers, Ben and Sierra West on several occasions. You gotten their house. Mm. Okay, now that sounds like fun. Hardly. First time Sherra was kidnapped and presumed dead.

And then that main Nash deal, Satan possessed EL Horton and kidnapped Sherra. Oh, oh oh. And then there was this other time, okay, okay. I don’t need a Supernatural soap Opera Digest recap. Sorry, that was not nice. Hey, it’s not like you can control all the thoughts in your head, right? You were just letting your fear do the talking thinking.

Aren’t you scared? Hmm. You know, my pastor likes to say faith is the enemy of, and I have faith that my Elvis will save us. Just like the king. Nothing means more to that boy than his mama. Oh, um, I didn’t see you come in , obviously. We were just discussing Oh, I knew exactly what you were talking about, ej and frankly, I’m shocked and I I can explain.

Tony, I told you I was not going to retaliate against Susan. Did you not tell your brother? Oh, man. Yeah. Oh, of course I did. Well, apparently you didn’t get through. Because I just heard EJ tell you that, that he can’t trust me not to get revenge on Susan for breaking my crystal heart. That’s what you heard?

Mm-hmm. , but never fear boys. My heart aches no more. Tata, you see ej. Susan is safe. No she isn’t. Hannah.

All right. Whoever took the boss’s kid left one of your match boxes behind in his apartment. Yeah. But like I said, we get a lot of people in and out of this place. Uh, here it’s a kind of establishment that if you want a job done, no questions asked. Unfortunately, for you, I have some questions with all due respect, Ms.

Vitali, but if you’re familiar with our rep, then you would understand. I can’t give you any answers. Is that right? Yeah. Now, if the two of you would, excuse me, I have some paying customers I need to tend. What the hell? What are you doing?

Well, now that I have your undivided attention, tell me where I can find my son or my friend here is gonna make you cry for your mommy.

Who, who would do such a terrible thing to Susan? Ava Vitale. Uh, she’s squeezing AJ for ransom. I forgot to sake. Tony, why don’t you take a full page out, out the intruder, I’m sorry, ej, but I don’t feel right about keeping something of this magnitude from my wife.

Because all of this mess is all your fault. My fault Tony Damara. Why are you doing this? Doing what? Why are you berating your poor brother when that mafia princess has abducted his mother? Well, if you really must know my poor brother in. Has kidnapped ever Vital sun trip,

there’s nothing on. That’s why me and the misses cut the cord. Air it peacock.

Thank God you hurt. Oh. Oh, thank you. No, I’m okay. I’m okay. I’m so damn. Glad to see you too. Ah, yeah. Glad to see you too, buddy. Hey, let’s get you one time. Oh, thank you. What are you guys wearing?

Colossal idiot. How could you let this happen? Huh? Who are you calling? An idiot. You’re the one who told me to kidnap Susan Banks without making sure that your son was safely out of VJ’s reach. Oh, okay. And whose bright idea was it to hold Susan Hostage on their family estate? No one ever goes in that shed.

Well, apparently that’s not true. How is I supposed to know that Bonnie was gonna go down there looking for lanterns of all things? I mean, it’s not, the woman isn’t exactly a, a member of the garden club. Is she? Where was I supposed to bring her anyway? Here to the Amer Crypt. Least it’s private. Yeah, until one of Stefano’s Spawn wants to pay their respects.

Not to mention all the ghosts you believe. That sort of thing. Okay. Look, we both made some decisions that. Really worked out the way we wanted. There’s no reason to point the finger. I mean, this new complication could actually work in our favor. How’d you figure we could ransom Bonnie too? What Victor Kakkis has just as much money as the Damaris do.

No, I couldn’t. I couldn’t do that to my cousin Justin. He’s been good to me and in my family. That makes him kind of a. Huh? Look at you getting all sentimental. I really hope this Dr. Sarah is worth all the trouble. She’s worth everything. How else would I let you talk me into this ridiculous scheme? A scheme that can still pay both of us?

Hey, look, I should be hearing from my associates about rescuing trip very. These associates, friends from your days in Philadelphia, you don’t need to worry about it. Okay? Why don’t you just go back to the shed and make sure that no other family members of yours decide to take up gardening in frigging November?

Honestly, dad, I was starting to think that I didn’t even have a shot with Stephanie. It was like everything I did to be charming, just annoyed this girl, and I’m talking about things that have never, ever, ever failed me. It might I add and then all of a sudden I done. You listening. Oh, what’s that? I thought you wanted to hear about my epic first kiss with Stephanie.

I do. I’m sorry. I just can’t stop thinking about Bonnie. You’re really worried about it. Why didn’t she just tell me? That she was gonna go see Mimi. Maybe she didn’t wanna bother you because she knew you were visiting with the twins. You know what, I have Mimi’s number. Why didn’t I think about that before?

I’ll just give her a call. You can reach her. There you go.

Mimi. Hi, it’s Justin. I’m good. I’m good. How’s. Oh, okay. That’s great. Give her a big hug for me. Okay. Hey, listen, uh, can you do me a favor? Can you, uh, put your mom on the phone?

Oh, I see. So she’s not there and you haven’t heard from her.

Justin should be home from Arizona by now. What time? How the heck should I know a friend, Mr. Clown has my hands tied up. I, I can’t even see the pretty watch. My granddaughter shouldn’t bought me for my last birthday. I wasn’t asking you for the time. Well, you just said what time is it? No, I was thinking, what time is it?

And you, eavesdropped Grain dropped her, whatever.

I didn’t even realize I was listening. Can’t you turn it off? I’m sorry, but you’re driving me bananas. Ooh, bananas. Yeah. Peanut butter. Bananas . Mm, peanut butter. Banana and bacon sandwich. What you doing? Huh? Why are you describing a sandwich? I don’t mean to, you just said banana and it made me think of the king’s favorite peanut butter and banana and bacon sandwich.

Okay. First of all, And secondly, how could you be thinking about food at a time like this? Because you rejected Mr. Clown’s offering and I needed sustenance to fuel my telepathic powers. See, watch my belly is full. I might be able to send a distress message straight into my Elvis’ psyche. You keep hanging your hopes on your boy Susie.

I’m gonna trust that my Prince Charming will come to the rescue.

No, Mimi, I’m sure your mom is just fine. We probably just got our wires crossed. I I will call you as soon as I hear from her. Okay, bye. Bonnie isn’t with Mimi. She hasn’t talked to her in days, so are you sure that Maggie said Bonnie went to Chicago? That I’m positive. Okay. Where are you going to find Maggie So we can figure out where my wife is?

Hi, honey, it’s me. Um, I just got back from Arizona. Alex told me that you’re visiting Mimi. I hope everything’s okay. Uh, can you gimme a call when you get this? I wanna make sure that, uh, everything’s all right. Love you. I’m sorry mate. Never meant for you or Bonnie to get caught up in Ava’s. Hopefully this will be over soon.

Do you seem marvelous? You worried that DJ’s men have already killed trip? Don’t, don’t say that. You know what’s a possibility, right? A guy like ej, he’s not gonna wanna mess to clean up. It’s much cleaner to just get rid of Tripp. Just take his body, drop it in the Puget Sound. Shut up. Shut up. Steven’s gonna save Tripp unless they take him out too.

Oh, don’t. Don’t enough. Please, mom, please, mom, look, I’m not trying to upset you. I just think one of us should be realistic about this. EJ is not some innocent mark. Okay. He, he’s, he’s somebody that thinks that the rules don’t apply to him, and usually he’s right. It is only a matter of time before he finds his mom takes out that buffoon.

Xander. It’s not gonna happen. I’m not sure you really believe that, but look at the bright side. If everyone else is dead, you still have me. Assuming that EJ doesn’t kill you too,

how could you pull. Handsome Dr. Trip Johnson into your blood feud with his maniac of a mother. I didn’t even realize he knew the lad. Oh darling. I developed a debilitating case of carpal tunnel when I was banging out my treatment for the Aamer story, and Dr. Trip treated me and my aching, aching, typing hands.

Mm-hmm. , I don’t remember that. Well, you were away at the time you were with Chad rescuing Abigail and Sarah from Bris Island. You must have been pleased with why they took care of you. Oh, he is a wonderful, that side manner, yes, he’s strong and confident, but tender. He does. Mm-hmm. , bj, why would you want to hurt a decent, wonderful, sexy man like that?

What does sexy got to do with anything? I haven’t hurt him. I cannot believe what I’m hearing. I’m sorry. Did you miss a part where Ava Vitae snatched my mother from this very house? I only went after her son to even mistakes. Well spoken like a true Dera. I am a true Dera. And may I remind you that you are perfectly fine sister-in-law being at Amer when it grants you access to.

A priceless wine cellar. Luxurious trips, 40 Crystal hearts, Gotti. Those privileges come with risk and responsibility. Tony will tell you. Ah, ej, I understand your motives for going after the young lad, Tony, I hadn’t finished yet, but ej, you have to admit, it’s only made matters worse. Susan will come back to us.

But first you’ve gotta let Tripp Johnson go.

I think that we should get you to a hospital. Be checked out. I’m fine. You sure don’t. I look fine. You look good to me, but I’m not the expert. Sweetness. Well, he seems good to me. I am. Okay. All right. I, I’m just really hungry. . Well, we can fix. But first

Wiki, wiki, eggs, and bakey. Hey,

tell me why EJ Damara hired you to kidnap my son. I got nothing to say to you. Well, we’ll see what more you have to say to the Seattle Police Department because they’re in route, by the way. And what a shame, huh? I mean, we were just getting to know each other. Someone is gonna want to talk to you right about him.

Steve, did you find my boy? Hey mom. Oh, trip. Trip. Are you okay? I’m fine, I’m fine. Dad and Kayla found me. I’m, I’m safe. Ugh.

Let’s hope they put that piece of garbage away for a long, long time. Yeah. And let’s hope he rolls over on his boss, EJ Damara. I just want to go home. That is a fantastic idea. You’ve had a long couple of days. Yeah. Hey, Did that loser say anything about ej? No, it wasn’t exactly chatty. I mean, what is this all about?

That’s a very good question. EJ already exposed my mom’s take Mary to Jake and forced her to leave Salems. Why? Why would he need to kidnap me? Well, Ava said it was because she defied him and came back to town. It was not like she has any power and why we care so much. That’s what I’d like to find out. Ej, I’m, I’m sure you’re worried about your mother’s safety, but.

Trip is innocent. Hey Jay. I think if you let ever Vital Sun go, I think she’ll see reason and return your mother to you unharmed, assuming I pay her 20 million. Well, at this point I think she wants it to be over. Oh.

Yes. Hello, ej. I thought you’d like to know that my son is safe and sound. Oh, and that degenerate that you hired to take him. He’s cooling his heels in, uh, Seattle jail as we speak. You’re bluffing.

Nope, I sent you a picture. You might wanna check your phone.

Yeah, I figured that. You may not believe me. So I had my son send a selfie to prove that he’s out of danger. Alright, you have your son. I won my mother. Oh, you can have her, but that little stunt that you pulled is gonna cost you an extra 10 million. What? Oh, you heard me? I won 30 million or I put a bullet in Susan’s head.

13 million.

Fine. I’ll pay you whatever you want, but I want to know that my mother is alive and well. I’ll send you proof. Nope, no more pictures. I want to see her in person. No way. Hey, you are this close to getting the biggest payday of your life, but if I don’t see my mother’s face, you won’t get anything. I’ll send you a location.

If you try and double cross me again, it’ll be Susan who will pay.

What did Maggie say? She showed me the text from Bonnie and you know, it’s just like you said, something suddenly came up and she had to go to Chicago to visit. Why would Bonnie send that text if she, if she wasn’t really gonna see her daughter? I don’t know, but I don’t like this. Maggie said that the last time she saw Bonnie, she was headed to the gardening shed to pick up some lanterns.

Lanterns. Yeah. She was gonna use them for decorations for Victor and Maggie’s anniversary dinner and nobody’s seen her since. Not that I know of. What are we waiting for? Let’s go.

What was E j’s endgame here? I mean, what if you weren’t able to find me? That’s another good question. From what I can tell, the guy didn’t plan on killing me. I mean, he was waiting for something. But what I’m the last person to make excuses for EJ d. But he’s no dummy and I’m sure he has a pretty good reason to do something this extreme.

Do you think my mom is lying about why I was kidnapped? No. We don’t know. I don’t bet you any money. Ava did something to provoke him. Bonnie, buddy, are you in here? Come on, Phil. Oh my God.

Oh, ej, for what it’s worth, you’re doing the right things. I’m glad you think so. Well, 30 million is not exactly spare change, but at the end of the day, it’s just money is. Well, what else would it be? You’re getting your mother back. Do you really think that this is over between me and Ava that. Take her money and leave for good.

Why wouldn’t she? Or for starters, because it’s Ava Vitale, she’s not right in the head. I told you that Steve would save your brother. Yay. I’m so relieved. Hmm. And now EJ is gonna have to pay him. I’m gonna be said for life. 30 million richer. I mean, minus Sanders. I mean, what more could I have asked for?

Nothing except, except, except 30 million is nothing to a guy like ej. He’s just gonna hit a couple buttons on his phone and barely know that it’s gone. So, so, and Jay’s gonna be annoyed for a day and then move on, but is that really punishing him for what he did to you for that pain? The humili. Making you grovel, running you out of town, making you hide in a crypt with your dead son.

What are you saying, Charlie? I’m saying if you really want to make EJ pay, we should kill Susan Banks.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Taylor exhales ]

[ Unzipping ]

Taylor: Caught ya!

[ Taylor laughs ]

Steffy: I couldn’t resist.

[ Whispering ] Your wedding dress… oh my god, mom.

[ Taylor giggles ]

Taylor: I know, I know. It’s one of your father’s creations. Look at you! Honey, you look gorgeous.

Steffy: Thank you. Not as gorgeous as that smile on that very happy face, mom. It’s finally here.

Taylor: I know.

Steffy: Your wedding to dad. Oh, my god. I cannot believe this.

Taylor: I know.

Carter: Looking pretty dapper, man.

Ridge: Hey! I don’t know why men bother, no one ever looks at the groom. It’s always the bride. The way it should be.

[ Carter laughs ]

Carter: Well, imagine how the officiant feels, huh? You need help with your cufflinks?

Ridge: Cufflinks, yes. Oh!

Carter: Did you forget them?

Ridge: I have a pair of cufflinks that taylor gave me years ago, and I should probably wear them.

Carter: Okay, where are they?

Ridge: Well, they’re at brooke’s house, in the hall closet in the drawer.

Carter: Mm, don’t worry, I’ll swing by and get them–

Ridge: I don’t want you doing that–

Carter: No, I’ll go through the back way, she’ll never know I’m there.

Ridge: You’re a lifesaver, thank you.

Carter: Yeah. Anything I can do to help. Even though…

Ridge: Even though what?

Carter: Even though, despite your love for taylor, I know you still love brooke.

Bill: I know about the wedding at eric’S.

[ Brooke sighs ]

Bill: Ridge didn’t waste any time.

Brooke: I was just looking at our wedding photo. We were so happy there. We thought for sure it would last forever this time.

Bill: All marriages start out that way. Sometimes things happen. I know this is a hard day for you. That’s why I’m here. For support. And to remind you that if you’re… thinking or… hoping that something, or someone will stop ridge from marrying taylor today… that isn’t going to happen. I know that’s hard to hear, but that’s the way it is, brooke.

Thomas: Hello. Hey, why aren’t you getting ready? The wedding is starting soon. Douglas, what’s up with you?

[ Keys rattling ]

Bill: I realize that forrester has been the center of your world for a very long time. And to think of moving forward without him is very difficult. But I’m here to tell you that you can, and you will, because you have your whole life in front of you, brooke. Turning the page on ridge can be a very good thing, presenting you with all kinds of opportunities. I’ve always loved you. I will never stop loving you. And if you give me… give us another chance, I will show you what true commitment is. I will make you happier than ridge ever did… or ever could.

Steffy: So, as matron of honor, what would you like me to do? Put me to work.

Taylor: Okay, okay, um… you know, I– I don’t know– my– my hair.

Steffy: Hair…

Taylor: Should I do up, down, to the side?

Steffy: Up or down, dad is not gonna be able to take his eyes off of you. Are you nervous?

Taylor: Oh, should I be?

Steffy: I don’t know. Spending your future with the man that you’ve loved for most of your life. Who you also have an amazing family with, you know…

Taylor: Yes, that is true.

Steffy: Mm-hmm, that it’s true.

Taylor: That is very true. I think we both know the answer to that.

Steffy: Okay, let me look at you.

Taylor: Okay.

Steffy: Okay, let’s play with your hair.

Taylor: Okay.

Steffy: Let’s see what we can do. Okay, sit, sit.

Taylor: All right. Look a– it’s not…

Steffy: Take it all out. Did you do this on your own?

Taylor: Yeah, a net and then it just…

Steffy: Okay.

Taylor: Look this is just… so I curled it.

Steffy: Hot mess mary, let’s go. Okay, maybe, um… hey.

Taylor: Huh? Yeah.

Steffy: Hey, mom. Are you okay?

Taylor: Yeah, I’m good. I just… I– I can’t stop thinking about this whole cps thing, that brooke was the one that called on your brother. And that is the reason that ridge came to aspen. He didn’t tell me when I asked him. Maybe because I would have kept running.

Thomas: Do you hear me? What’s going on with you?

Douglas: Nothing. Nothing is going on with me.

Thomas: Okay, well, then get dressed.

[ Thomas scoffs ] Your grandma and grandpa want you to be a part of the ceremony today.

Douglas: Do I have to?

Thomas: Do you love your grandparents?

Douglas: Yes.

Thomas: They’re counting on you. So am I.

Douglas: Counting on me to keep quiet, not tell everybody what you did to break up granddad and grandma brooke?

[ Thomas sighs ]

Eric: Katie, hi.

Katie: Hi. How did the meeting go?

Eric: It went very well, actually. Everything’s all wrapped up. How’s it here?

Katie: Oh, quiet. We don’t have any co-ceos, we have no coo. We have designers out of town. So, yeah, I’m sure you’re gonna be joining everyone for the festivities, huh?

Eric: I will. It’s a really big day for ridge and his family.

Katie: Yeah, his, uh, family with taylor, you mean. ‘Cause he has a family with brooke, too, right?

Eric: Yes, of course. I’m sorry, katie. I’m sorry. This can’t be an easy day for you either. You’re a big– you’re a big supporter of ridge and brooke.

Katie: You’re a big supporter of ridge and brooke. That’s why you know that taylor is not the love of ridge’s life. Brooke is.

Bill: You can’t keep doing this, brooke. I know the pull of the past is strong, especially today, but your marriage to forrester, the vows you took–

Brooke: Those vows mean as much to me today as they ever did.

Bill: But not to ridge. For whatever reason, he moved away from you and toward taylor. Once again, letting you down, leaving you heartbroken.7 you know what it does to me, seeing you hurting like this when ridge has just moved on, even though he had pledged to love, honor, cherish you… just words to ridge? Apparently so, given what he’s done to you.

Steffy: Okay. Mom, your makeup looks flawless.

Taylor: My makeup? Oh, my god, honey, I haven’t even started really.

Steffy: Well, it must be that special glow all brides have when they’re marrying their true love.

Taylor: Oh, you mean the one that you still have after marrying finn?

Steffy: That is true. I’m happier than I’ve ever been. Even more so now, now that my parents are remarrying, it’s like icing on the most special wedding cake.

Taylor: Mm.

Steffy: I doubt brooke feels the same.

Taylor: Yeah, especially after what she tried to do to thomas. Calling cps on him, lying to your dad’s face about it. I know that hurt ridge a lot.

Thomas: Whoa, good timing.

Ridge: Hey!

Thomas: Best man reporting for duty. How’s the old groom holding up?

Ridge: A better question is, how’s your mom doing?

Thomas: You afraid she’s gonna get scared, maybe bail last minute?

Ridge: It’s a forrester wedding, there’s always drama.

Thomas: Nah, that’s not gonna happen this time. This time it’s going perfectly and smoothly.

Ridge: Right. You know that?

Thomas: I do because steffy and I have been waiting for this wedding for a long time. So, both of us are gonna make sure it goes according to plan. You and steffy have always been our biggest champions, thank you.

Thomas: It’s ’cause we love you. I mean, I love you. You’ve– I’ve done some pretty not so great stuff in the past, and um… but you were there for me, you know, you– you helped me through it, and you helped me pull myself together.

Ridge: Well, you did most of it.

Thomas: Yeah. And we have faith in you two. I have faith in your relationship with mom and how committed you are to her. And, you know what? Everything has been worth it. That leads up to this point to make sure that you and mom end up together and happy again. Super emma just about sleeps in her cape.

Eric: I admire taylor, I really do. And I– I celebrate the family that she and ridge have together. But I don’t disagree with you, katie. I don’T. I think that ridge and brooke belong together still. In spite of this wedding today and whatever caused the annulment.

Katie: Then why are you supporting this marriage? When in your heart, you know it’s not the end for ridge and brooke.

Bill: I know this is killing you, but you have to look forward, not behind, brooke. Ridge made his choice. And you can make yours, right now. I’ve never made a secret of my feelings for you. Yes, I married your sister and I will always love katie, but not the way that I love you. You never tried to change me. I would never try to change you. Why would I? You are this magnificent, gorgeous, adventurous woman who makes me feel more alive, more turned on by life than any other woman. I know you’re in pain right now but let me help you get to the other side of that. Into the kind of future you deserve with a man who is totally devoted to you. I am that man. I’m your future. You are the woman I want. Not katie. You.

Steffy: So, are you bucking tradition? Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue…

Taylor: You think I’m tempting fate?

Steffy: No. You and dad, this wedding, it was meant to be.

Taylor: You never gave up faith, did you? You always knew that this day would happen.

Steffy: I did. Though to be completely honest, there were some… some dark days. Where I thought brooke’s hooks would be in dad forever. But those days are gone, in part due to the cps call, and the lies that followed… and dad was again reminded what he has in you and not in brooke. A woman of integrity and honesty, and a woman he could spend the rest of his life with loving and being loved. That’s why he’s marrying you, mom. Not because of what brooke did.

Taylor: I know, sweetie. I know.

Thomas: Look, dad, I know that you’re not marrying mom because of something brooke did. You’re doing it ’cause you love her, and you really want to be with her. I get that. And that call to cps, that was– that was just one of many final straws. Mom would never do that, and she would never lie to you, and she never cheat on you. It’s ’cause she loves you. Still dad, I wish you hadn’t told everyone about that call. Like, can we at least agree to not tell brooke about it? She can’t know, dad. She can never know.

Steffy: What about your vows? Did you and dad write your own?

Taylor: You’re just gonna have to wait and see.

Steffy: You’re not gonna tell your matron of honor? Wow!

Taylor: Let’s just say you’ll be very pleased.

Steffy: So, you did write your own.

Taylor: Ugh, steffy, honestly…

Steffy: Fine, have your secret. We’ll find out soon enough.

Taylor: You know, I’ve been thinking a lot about phoebe today. And stephanie. I wish they were here.

Steffy: They are.

Taylor: Yeah, they are.

Steffy: This is everything they’ve ever wanted. You and dad happily reunited. Living your best years, married, together, and in love. You’re finally getting your happily ever after. And I couldn’t be more excited, mom.

Taylor: You’re gonna make me cry.

Steffy: Well, thank goodness you don’t have your full glam on just yet. Just know how much I love you. And I’ll always be there for you and dad. No matter what.

Taylor: I love you, too.

Steffy: I love you.

Taylor: My beautiful daughter.

Ridge: You know what, thomas? I don’t wanna talk about brooke or the call that she made. And I thought– I still think, that people deserve to know the truth. You’re in trouble.

Douglas: Why am I in trouble?

Ridge: Why are you in trouble? Because you get to come here, looking like that and show up the groom. It’s not cool. Glad you’re here. Really making this a family affair. I know, weddings are boring. Old people gushing about each other.

Douglas: No, it’s not that.

Ridge: No?

Douglas: I wanna be happy for you and grandma.

Thomas: And you should be. ‘Cause they’re wonderful together. They belong together. They make each other happy. Never forget that.

Douglas: May I go back to my room ’til the wedding starts?

Thomas: Yeah, sure.

Ridge: Come on. What’s going on? Is he okay?

Thomas: Yeah, yeah. You know, don’t– don’t worry about him. Just, uh, focus on mom. Making her the happiest woman that she possibly could ever be today.

Ridge: Yeah. You know who’s really happy right now? This guy. And I know I’ve said it before, I’ve got to say it again. I’m so proud of you. Proud of the choices you made, the man you’ve become, the father you are to douglas. And I got to tell you, this day, all of this wouldn’t happen without your help. Thank you. Come on.

Thomas: Yeah.

This is an enjoyable movie, but I really hate the title. The big song in the movie is called “Sweet Sixteen Christmas,” so that should have been the title. Perhaps they thought it would be confusing, since there are no teens in the movie? I don’t know. But please don’t let the forgettable title deter you from watching this. It really has very little to do with country music, even though the main character, Chrissy (played so well by Brooke Elliott) is supposed to be a Nashville star.  The music doesn’t sound very countrified to me.

It was great to speak to the actors. You may remember Brooke from her previous Lifetime series “Drop Dead Diva,” or her current show, “Sweet Magnolias” on Netflix. Her co-star in the latter, Brandon Quinn, also stars in this movie with her as Luke – the guy she left behind.  Danny Pintauro is most known for his role as a teen on “Who’s the Boss” years ago. In this new movie, he’s going back into acting. He does a fine job, but it’s a fairly small role. It was interesting to hear him talk about his life and how it led to this movie.

Before Chrissy Kessler’s (Brooke Elliott) meteoric rise to fame, the country music superstar was just a small-town girl with dreams of the big time. Now, with her record sales on a rapid decline, Chrissy is strong-armed by an unrelenting record executive to return to the hometown she left behind to perform a live Christmas concert. Accompanying her on this journey is her longtime supportive assistant Eugene (Danny Pintauro). Luke Covington’s (Brandon Quinn) quiet life is suddenly disrupted when he runs into Chrissy, his ex-girlfriend and former country music duo partner, who disappeared on him to pursue her solo career all those years ago. After a tempestuous rainstorm forces the ex-sweethearts to seek shelter in Luke’s ranch home, the two realize that the only way they’ll survive the holidays is with the other’s help.

A Country Christmas Harmony is produced by MarVista Entertainment and The Ninth House.  Megan Ellstrom, Larry Grimaldi, Hannah Pillemer and Fernando Szew Executive Produce for MarVista Entertainment, and Autumn Federici and Jake Helgren Produce for The Ninth House. Brooke Elliott also serves as Executive Producer. Gary Entin and Edmund Entin write and direct.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sally: Hello, adam.

Adam: Mm. How lucky I am I that I am here at the precise moment when the two of you are meeting up for — what, drinks? Nice dinner? You guys fueling up for another round of hot sex?

Sally: Okay. That was out of line.

Nick: Watch your mouth.

Adam: Well, unlike you, I’m not in the mood to plaster a smile on my face. I’m just keeping it real.

Sally: Okay, I know you have a lot on your plate right now, but that’s no excuse to be crude, okay? After our last conversation, i thought maybe we were in a good place, that maybe we actually got to the point where we could be friends.

Adam: Friends? Come on, sally. Let’s not play that game. You know what you are to me. And I know that whatever you think my brother here has to offer that you’re bound to be disappointed in every possible way.

Nick: Just stop, alright? You’re making a fool out of yourself.

Adam: [ Scoffs ] Yeah. I’m the fool. Alright, nick.

Sally: It was of your own doing. So don’t you dare just sit there and blame nick and me.

Adam: “Nick and me.” Wow, you say that like it’s a real thing.

Sally: Okay, whatever it is or isn’t, it’s none of your business. And you saw to that. So stop blaming everyone but yourself.

Allie: Noah.

Noah: Allie. Hey. This is a nice surprise. How’s your day been?

Allie: Um… not as I expected.

Noah: Problem at the lab?

Allie: No.

Noah: What’s going on?

Allie: [ Sighs ] I went to the club earlier to find you, and I saw you with your ex in your arms.

Noah: [ Sighs ]

[ Drawer opens ]

[ Knock on door ]

Sharon: Chelsea? It’s sharon and billy.

Chelsea: Hey, guys. Come on in.

Sharon: Hi. We met up at your hotel suite, and we packed up all of your things. And the front desk billed the card that you have on file. So, as far as that goes, it’s all taken care of.

Chelsea: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: Don’t even need to think about that place anymore. All done.

Chelsea: Thank you so much. That is so kind, considering you’ve already done so much for me. I just, you know, can’t imagine stepping foot in that hotel right now.

Billy: Well, you don’t have to.

Chelsea: And, sharon, you shouldn’t be dealing with my stuff. You should be helping mariah and tessa get settled at the tack house.

Sharon: No, they’re doing great. I did run over there right after mariah texted me, and it turned out they didn’t have that much work for me to do anyway. And besides, I had to come back here and see you again because i forgot to give you these.

Chelsea: Oh.

Billy: Chelsea, you okay?

Sharon: Are you having second thoughts? Is this not where you want to be?

Chelsea: No. No. This place is amazing. This is an incredible place to live, especially on such short notice, and I’m so grateful. It’s just, you know, here I am, pulling up stakes yet again.

Billy: Well, it’s always challenging, changing homes.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Home… alice loves the scent of gain so much,

Noah: I didn’t know you were there when audra and I were talking.

Allie: It seemed like you guys were sharing an intimate moment, so I didn’t want to intrude.

Noah: It’s not what you’re thinking.

Allie: Well, it must have been something major. Otherwise, you wouldn’t look so…

Noah: So what?

Allie: Panicked? Guilty? Disturbed? All of the above?

Noah: It’s not like that, alright? I promise I’ll tell you everything, just not — not here. Will you give me a chance to explain?

Billy: If I said something to upset you, chelsea, I’m sorry. That was not my intent.

Chelsea: No, no. You didn’t say or do anything wrong. You both have been incredible and supportive.

[ Sighs ] I’m just — I’m just juggling a lot of emotions right now.

Sharon: Well, that’s entirely appropriate.

Billy: I mean, it’d be weird if you weren’T.

Chelsea: [ Breathes deeply ] I guess it’s just hard for me to accept that at this phase of my life I don’t have a safe haven. So, here I am in a brand-new apartment after spending three days in the psych ward for trying to end my life.

Sharon: Well, I hope that this place will become your haven, that over time, it’ll truly start to feel like your home.

Chelsea: I just haven’t had a home in so long…not since i lived at the penthouse with adam and connor. And then I had the aneurysm, and everything went wrong.

Billy: Well, let’s not ruminate on that. Let’s look at this as the beginning of a healthy, wonderful future.

Chelsea: Well, before I start rebuilding my life, I have decided I need to tell connor the truth. And that’s really overwhelming.

Billy: You know, chels, you don’t need to do that right now if you don’t want to. I mean, maybe it makes more sense to kind of get settled in here a little bit.

Chelsea: No, I want to tell him today because I don’t want to hide anything from my son. And, actually, dr. Malone agrees with me.

Sharon: Did the doctor give you any ideas on how to get into that with connor?

Chelsea: Yeah. I mean, she did actually, and it kind of make me nervous.

Sharon: How so?

Chelsea: Well, she said, you know, we don’t know how he’s gonna react. It could be shock, guilt, anger. We just — we don’t know how this is gonna go.

Sharon: Okay, well, you know that you don’t have to do this until you’re ready.

Chelsea: I told dr. Malone that I can be strong, and I am gonna be, for connor’s sake.

Sharon: Well, you have to do what’s best for yourself also.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] I think I’ve decided that this is what’s best for all of us. I need to take a deep breath, look my son in the eye, and tell him what happened, explain this crisis I went through. I just hope that adam understands. We need to be a united front, and he doesn’t want me to tell him yet. He’s worried about how connor will react, and so am I. I’m just worried the longer we wait, the more pain, the more confusion it will cause him.

Billy: Well, you both know that I’m — I’m not a fan of adam’S. But I do know that he loves his son. And I believe you’ll do what’s right for both connor and you.

Sharon: He absolutely will. Give adam the chance to prove that to you.

Chelsea: I will.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Billy: Uh, I’m gonna need to go. Something I need to take care of. I’ll check in with you later, okay?

Chelsea: Thank you, billy, for everything.

Billy: Absolutely. See ya.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

Chelsea: Can you stay a little longer?

Sharon: Well, I was hoping that you would let me hang around because I think there’s something that we need to do right away.

Sally: You couldn’t trust me. So you broke up with me and you claimed it was for my own good. Do you know how humiliated i felt?

Adam: And I have apologized for that repeatedly, sally.

Sally: And yet somehow you’re the wounded party. I’m sorry. It doesn’t work like that.

Nick: Well, it does for a narcissist. Everything always happens to you. It’s never because of you. Does that sound about right?

Adam: Don’t get your hopes up thinking he will make you happy, sally. He will never love you ’cause he can’T. ‘Cause the only woman he’s ever loved is sharon. You’re just the latest substitute.

Sally: Let’s go, nick. He’s not worth it. Why do dermatologists worldwide recommend

Noah: Can I get you anything? Water? Coffee? Something stronger?

Allie: Just the truth.

Noah: I don’t want to have any secrets from you.

Allie: Good.

Noah: Audra told me that back in london she — she had been pregnant with our baby… and she had a miscarriage. It was the first I’d heard of it.

Allie: [ Sighs ] How awful for her to go through something like that. And for you being blindsided.

Noah: Yeah, it hit pretty hard.

Allie: I’m so sorry. Why didn’t audra say anything until now?

Noah: When she got pregnant, our relationship was kind of falling apart, and she wanted to wait until we were back into a good place to share the happy news, but that time never came. Things just kept deteriorating. And then… and then I moved out without telling her. I just walked away, didn’t look back.

Allie: Is that…when it happened?

Noah: She said it was the first night I didn’t come home. It was over, just like our relationship.

[ Sighs ]

Allie: Oh, noah. I’m so sorry.

Noah: She never intended on telling me, but I guess being here and, you know, seeing me brought back up all those painful memories. You know, they just came pouring out of her, and it killed me that I wasn’t there for her. It killed me that she had to suffer through all that alone, so — so I hugged her. I wanted to comfort her, and… that’s what you walked in on.

Billy: Hi.

Lily: Hello.

Billy: Thank you for coming to meet me.

Lily: Sure.

Billy: I know how busy you’ve been, so I appreciate it.

Lily: No, it’s fine. I needed the fresh air. So, how’s chelsea? I’m assuming that you spent most of the day with her since she seems to be your main focus lately.

Billy: Yeah. Um, I know I’ve been really vague about what’s been happening…and, uh, the reasoning behind it. And I know that’s been very frustrating for you.

Lily: Well, yeah. I mean, I have so little information.

Billy: Right, which is why i wanted to talk to you — to try and, you know, clear the air a little bit. Um, chelsea not only gave me the go-ahead, but she thinks it’s important that I talk to you about this, as well. And, uh, I’m hoping that once i do, you’ll better understand why I devoted so much of my time to supporting her.

Lily: Okay. So, what happened?

Billy: [ Sighs ] Chelsea tried to take her own life.

Sharon: There. Doesn’t it feel good to have your clothes hung up, your things put away?

Chelsea: Definitely.

Sharon: I just want you to feel like you’re settling in and making the place your own. But I know when you bring in all of your personal items, then it’s gonna really feel like home.

Chelsea: I’m sure you’re right.

Sharon: Which brings me to the most important item.

Chelsea: Oh. [ Chuckles ] Thank you, sharon. This is the most important item, not just for me, but for when connor gets here.

Sharon: Do you know when he’ll be here?

Chelsea: When he’s done with practice. I’m counting the minutes.

[ Exhales sharply ] I guess I should reach out to adam now.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Adam: Chelsea. Hey, um, can you give me one second?

[ Stool clatters ] Hey. I’m glad you called. I went to the hospital earlier, but they said that you had already been discharged.

Chelsea: I told you you didn’t have to come back for me. I already had a ride lined up.

Adam: Right. I know. Sharon and billy. Just wanted to make sure you were okay.

Chelsea: I am. Thanks. I’m feeling better, um… thanks to sharon, actually.

Adam: Oh?

Chelsea: Mariah and tessa are moving out of the apartment above the coffeehouse. Sharon’s offered to rent it to me.

Adam: Ah, well, that’s great. That sounds like the perfect solution. I’m glad you decided to take her up on that.

Chelsea: Yeah, me too.

Adam: Well, if there’s anything that I can do. Maybe I can grab some groceries or something and help you with that.

Chelsea: Well, you had mentioned that connor would be happy to see me. I was hoping you could bring him by after you pick him up.

Adam: Sure. I can do that.

Chelsea: Thanks. I appreciate it.

Adam: I just — I hope that you’ve, uh, taken the time to think about what I said earlier.

Chelsea: I have, and I spoke to my therapist about it, adam. I haven’t changed my mind.

Adam: I see.

Chelsea: I’m ready to tell connor the truth. And I hope you can support my decision. Will you please do that for me?

Adam: [ Sighs ] I was taking my antidepressant daily,

Adam: Look, chelsea, I really wish that we could discuss this further.

Chelsea: Adam, I’m not gonna change my mind. I have to do this — and as soon as possible.

Adam: Why the rush?

Chelsea: Because I’m not gonna lie to my son, only to risk him finding out the truth down the line in some other way. No. He has to know what happened to me. He has to know that I’m better and that I’m getting help and that I am gonna be alright.

Adam: Okay. Well, you — you make some good points.

Chelsea: Thank you.

Adam: But I am still worried about connor’s reaction. I think there’s a chance that he might blame himself for this.

Chelsea: I took everything you said to heart. I did. I spoke to dr. Malone at length about it, but she agrees that it’s the right thing to do, to be honest with our son.

Adam: Exactly how honest are we talking about?

Chelsea: Well, dr. Malone advised me to use language a young boy connor’s age can understand, to allow him to express his emotions and to have the conversation in a safe space. I know you want to be a part of this, adam, and I want you to as well. Let’s do this now, together, as a family. Can you do that for me?

Adam: Alright.

Chelsea: Thank you.

Adam: I will, uh, go get him, and, uh, I’ll bring him by. We’ll see you soon.

Lily: Oh, my god. Poor chelsea.

Billy: Yeah, I know.

Lily: I mean, I know that you told me she needed help and that you felt compassion because you knew what it was like being trapped in a dark place, but i didn’t think it was this bad.

Billy: Well, I think it all just kind of, uh, you know, compounded and, uh — when rey passed away. You know, they’d become really close friends.

Lily: No. Yeah. I remember how devastated she was at the time.

Billy: Yeah, and I think she was leaning on him a little bit too much. And then, you know, after he passed away, she — she didn’t feel like she had anyone. And when things got bad, she started to question everything, question every decision that she was making, and had no one to turn to. And slowly that started to eat away at her and the walls started to cave in and the only thing that she could focus on was the pain and her own despair.

Lily: Yeah, but not even connor? I mean, knowing that he needed her couldn’t help pull her out of her grief?

Billy: No, it seems like it would, but like I said, she — she couldn’t focus on anything but the pain. She didn’t see a way out, and she wanted it to end.

Lily: [ Sighs ] Wow. I mean, to feel that lost and disconnected from everything that you love and care about. I mean, when I was in prison, I definitely was depressed. You know? I was overwhelmed by guilt over the role that I played in hilary and her baby’s death. And then my dad — he moved upstate so that he could visit often, and I was so thankful because he was my lifeline. I mean, I wasn’t suicidal. It didn’t get to that point for me.

Billy: Well, I’m really glad that he was there to support you.

Lily: Yeah, me too. But, I mean, for chelsea, that night, to be in that place, after the year that she had — I mean, that’s serious.

Billy: Yeah. I’m just grateful you understand.

Lily: Yeah. I mean, I can see why you felt compelled to be there for her. But I’m sure it was overwhelming for you at times.

Billy: I wasn’t focused on my own burden, you know? That wasn’t — it wasn’t about me.

Lily: No, but helping someone through a crisis that severe is huge. I mean, that had to have taken a toll on you emotionally.

Billy: Yeah. I mean, I suppose. Yeah.

Lily: So then why wouldn’t you have told me this from the beginning? Like, why wouldn’t you let me be the person that you turned to?

Billy: [ Sighs ] () 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. With original medicare you are covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits but you have to meet a deductible for each, and then you’re still responsible for 20% of the cost. Next, let’s look at a medicare supplement plan. As you can see, they cover the same things as original medicare, and they also cover your medicare deductibles and coinsurance. But they often have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. Now, let’s take a look at humana’s medicare advantage plans. With a humana medicare advantage plan, hospitals stays, doctor office visits and your original medicare deductibles are covered. And, of course, most humana medicare advantage plans include prescription drug coverage. With no copays or deductibles on tier 1 prescriptions, and zero dollars for routine vaccines, including shingles, at in-network retail pharmacies. In fact, in 2021, humana medicare advantage prescription drug plan members saved an estimated $9,600 on average on their prescription costs. Most humana medicare advantage plans have coverage for vision and hearing. And dental coverage that includes two free cleanings a year, plus dentures, crowns, fillings and more! Most humana medicare advantage plans include a silver sneakers fitness program at no extra cost. You get all of this for as low as a zero-dollar monthly plan premium in many areas; and your doctor and hospital may already be a part of humana’s large network. There is no obligation, so call the number on your screen right now to see if your doctor is in our network; to find out if you could save on your prescriptions, and to get our free decision guide.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Chelsea: I could tell adam was listening. He really heard me.

Sharon: That’s wonderful.

Chelsea: And I’m gonna do everything I can to prove that he’s right to have faith in me.

Sharon: Well, I’m glad he reacted that way. Now, I want you to relax, take a breath, and don’t put any more pressure on yourself.

Chelsea: I’ll try not to.

Sharon: Adam’s already shown that he’ll back you up. You just have to follow dr. Malone’s advice and trust your instincts as a mother. You can do this.

Chelsea: Yeah. I can.

Sharon: Good. That’s what I like to hear. So, is there anything else I can do to make you feel at home? Um, the place has been cleaned, and there’s towels and sheets in the linen closet.

Chelsea: No. Thank you so much. As much as I’ve appreciated your company and all of your encouragement, I should probably spend some time alone to mentally prepare for this visit with connor. Plus, I should probably jump in the shower and change my clothes to look presentable for my son.

Sharon: Sounds perfect. I’ll leave you to it. And if there’s anything you need, just shoot me a text.

Chelsea: Thanks. I will.

[ Door closes ]

[ Sighs ]

Billy: I think the short story is, is that it wasn’t mine to share with you. You know, like you just said, this has been… it’s just very serious, you know? And, um, it’s delicate and it’s chelsea’s story and it’s just extremely personal. I mean, she didn’t even tell adam about it until today. She also insisted that I tell you the truth.

Lily: Yeah, well, i appreciate hearing it. So, where has chelsea been all this time?

Billy: Well, for the last 72 hours, she’s been in a psychiatric facility. She was released today, and she’s now staying at the apartment above crimson lights.

Lily: With mariah and tessa?

Billy: No. They — they moved to the ranch. I guess they’re staying in the tack house. They needed a little bit more space. But, uh, sharon hadn’t advertised the apartment yet, and, um, chelsea said yes. She’s grateful for the opportunity to stay there. And then sharon and I went to the grand phoenix to go collect her stuff and then just brought it to her.

Lily: Wow. Well, I guess you and sharon are covering all the bases.

Billy: Why do you say it like that?

Lily: What do you mean?

Billy: Sounds like you got a little edge in your voice, like there’s something you’re upset about.

Lily: Why would I be upset?

Billy: There it is again. Lily, just tell me what’s wrong.

Allie: How did you feel learning all this from audra?

Noah: I just — I can’t help but feel guilty for how it all went down, though. If I hadn’t left, if I just had been there, she wouldn’t have been all alone through this. And then I think maybe the stress of our relationship is what caused the miscarriage. And I’m having all these conflicting emotions about almost being a father.

Allie: Yeah, I imagine it’s — it’s almost like seeing an alternate universe unfold — right? — Where you stayed in london…became a dad. Must be mind-blowing to realize how different life might have been.

Noah: I’m trying not to dwell on it too much. But it’s just… it’s strange, how this fateful thing happened and I had no idea. And meanwhile, audra — she’s been carrying around this huge secret and trying to come to terms with the loss.

Allie: Has the news made you see her in a different way? Why give your family just any eggs

Nick: Alright, this is a big moment. It’s the last piece.

Sally: It’s all yours.

Nick: I don’t know. I know this is your favorite appetizer. I do not want to make things weird. Yup. You took it.

Sally: [ Laughs ] Mm, well, I don’t know about you, but my tombstone is going to read “carpe diem.”

Nick: “Seize the day.”

Sally: Oh, my god. Is that what that means? ‘Cause I totally thought it meant, “seize the last bite.”

Nick: [ Laughs ]

Sally: Geez. I guess that’s what I get for not taking latin.

Nick: Yeah, I was forced to take a semester of that in boarding school. I don’t recommend it. It’s very boring.

Sally: You went to boarding school? Of course you did. I could totally see you roaming around a 200-year-old campus in new england wearing something appropriately preppy.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Actually, it was in switzerland.

Sally: Seriously? God, that’s amazing. The skiing, the chocolate.

[ Both laugh ]

Nick: Nah, it wasn’t for me. There were so many rules. I wasn’t great at following most of them. So, one day I just snuck off campus, flew home, and told my parents I was never going back. I was 16, so they couldn’t make me, so I just transferred to gc high.

Sally: There’s no place like home, huh?

Nick: Even though we have our less-than-harmonious moments, I really love my family. I like being around them.

Sally: Well, that serves as the perfect segue way into the promise that you made me — ’cause I am gonna hold you to it.

Nick: Hmm. What was that again?

Sally: You were gonna tell me what you want out of life since last time we talked I told you what I wanted.

Nick: Alright. Um… I have everything I want. Almost.

Sally: Seriously? Who says that and actually means it?

Nick: Me.

I’m serious. I found my purpose at newman. I spent many years there second-guessing myself, trying to, you know, figure out my place. But that’s all behind me.

Sally: So, when you stopped fighting it…

Nick: I’m happy with my position and the work.

Sally: Hmm. Nice.

Nick: I have four incredible kids. I have very solid relationships with phyllis and sharon, who will always be a part of my life.

Sally: Actually, I admire how you and sharon still value and care about each other. I mean, that’s the way it should be — right? — Especially when there’s family involved. I bet noah and faith really appreciate it.

Nick: I want to make sure you know that I’m not pining away for sharon like adam suggested. I mean, emotionally, I am not anywhere close to that.

Sally: Okay. Well, then, just out of curiosity, where are you, emotionally speaking?

Sharon: Hey there.

Adam: How’s it going?

Sharon: It’s going well.

Connor: Is mom meeting us here?

Adam: Uh, she is upstairs.

Sharon: Your mom is renting the apartment on the second floor here. Mariah and tessa used to live there, but they have moved on to a bigger space.

Connor: I never liked mom staying in a hotel. I’m glad she won’t be there anymore.

Adam: Well, me too. This will be a much better place for your mother.

Sharon: I think so, too. And there’s a second bedroom for when you come to stay with her.

Connor: Cool.

Adam: Hey, why don’t you, uh, go grab a treat for your mother at the counter?

Connor: I’d like to bring her something.

Adam: Alright. Go for it.

[ Sighs ] Thank you for letting chelsea move in. You really came through for her.

Sharon: I was happy to do it. In fact, when you called earlier, I was upstairs talking to her.

Adam: Yeah?

Sharon: I hope you don’t mind me weighing in on connor’s visit today. I know that you have concerns about connor learning the truth, and I was glad to know that you came around and saw chelsea’s point of view. For what it’s worth, I think she’s ready for this.

Adam: Well, I appreciate your perspective, but it’s not gonna make this any easier.

Connor: Hey, dad, I know what I want to get.

Sharon: Oh, okay. Let me get that wrapped up for her.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

Noah: Nothing that I have learned has changed the way i see audra. I feel terrible that she had to go through this on her own and that she was too upset and too proud to let me know at the time, but…it doesn’t change who she was before then or how we treated each other. Our relationship, it was — it was toxic.

Allie: Right. You’ve said that.

Noah: It needed to end for both of our sakes. If I can go back, I would have handled the break-up in a more mature, direct way, but that is the only thing that I would change. It was painful for me to think about our past, and now knowing that she had a baby and lost it, it hurts even more. But it’s the past. My present and my future is right here with you.

One role of a lifetime…

one sore throat.

Allie: I’m really glad we talked this over.

Noah: Me too.

Nick: So, that’s the part that’s missing for me — a personal life. I meant it when I said I have almost everything I want. But it’d be nice to have someone to share it with. Whoa. Okay. Uh, please don’t take that as, like, some loaded comment, alright? I have no expectations when it comes to us. I, uh — I just wanted to be honest, you know, with you, like you were with me.

Sally: Well, thank you, nick.

Billy: I mean, if you’re still upset about me helping chelsea in this time —

Lily: Look, what matters right now is, how is she doing? Is she okay? Do you think that she might try something like this again?

Billy: I sure as hell hope not. Sharon and her doctors said that the first 72 hours are the most crucial.

Lily: Yeah. I’ve heard that, too.

Billy: Which is why they admitted chelsea immediately — so she could undergo an evaluation and intense therapy.

Lily: So, how is she doing now?

Billy: She seems better. She seems to be in a better headspace.

Lily: Good. That’s good.

Billy: So, now that I’ve answered your questions, do you mind answering some of mine? Like, now that I’ve been able to explain to you where I’ve been the last few days and the circumstances behind it, with me supporting chelsea in this critical time, is that — is that gonna be a problem for the two of us?

Lily: Wait a second. 72 hours ago? That was when adam found you on the roof of the hotel with chelsea.

Billy: Yeah. When I left you at the club, I went to the roof. I thought she was gonna be there, and — and she was. And I’m just glad that I found her when I did. I mean, I — I literally talked her off the ledge.

Lily: Wait, so, you haven’t just supported her during this time. You saved her life.

[ Knock on door ]

Chelsea: It’s open.

[ Door opens ] Hey, guys.

Connor: Hey, mom.

Chelsea: Well, come on in.

Adam: We, uh, just stopped downstairs so connor could grab some of those caramel brownies you love so much.

Chelsea: Well, that is so sweet. Thank you. I am so happy to see you.

Connor: Oh.

Chelsea: [ Exhales sharply ]

Connor: I’ve missed you so much. I was scared. I didn’t know what happened or why you were avoiding me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Gladys. Sasha. I’m glad you’re both here. Sonny. Where’s nina? Hi. I thought you two were having dinner. Oh, yeah, she got called to crimson. Some work thing there. Hmm, never a dull moment with that one. Thank you for the flowers you sent. They were lovely. Well, you were on my mind today, so I thought I’d come by and see you. I am touched that you remembered that today would have been liam’s first birthday. Well, in this family, we never forget a birthday. Feel free to forget my next one, sonny.

[ Sasha and sonny chuckle ] Not a chance. Listen, if — you know, since brando’s not here, if you’ll allow me to say something for him?

[ Sighs ] Liam mike corbin is always gonna be in our hearts.

[ Coughing ] You should do something about that cough. Who’s the doctor here? You or me? Ooh, down, girl. You invited me, remember? I’m sorry. I didn’t have a very good day today. And, yes, I should do something about my cough. Well, I got some killer lozenges in the car. I’ll go grab them. Hey, forget about the lozenges.

[ Sighs ] I know exactly what I need. What’s that? Well, I’ll never get to heaven, so tonight, we’re gonna raise a little hell. Oh, this is a lovely little bistro. Oh, well, it’s a tad more private than kelly’S. I figured, at this point, you must be a little weary of everybody coming up and saying how wonderful it is to have you back. Everyone’s been so kind. But, yes, it is nice to have a bit of you and me time. Not that I’d turn down a visit to kelly’s at some point, though, because I still remember those onion rings. I also, uh, hope you remember… who your friends are. Your true friends, that is. Robert, why suddenly so serious? Well, I think that friendship’s a serious business, and so’s betrayal. Potato leek or mushroom bisque?

[ Chuckles ] Yes. This is your sister. What kind of soup would you like? Well, I don’t want you sitting home alone, mourning, so I’m coming over whether you like it or not, and I’m bringing you sustenance. Ah-ah-ah. No “but”S. Marty, we’re family. We support each other. That comes with the deal. So, I re-interviewed the guard who was with anna devane and heather webber, but he still doesn’t have A… uh… if agent whitten calls, could you let him know we still don’t have anything? Got it, detective. Thanks. Hot on the case? Yeah, always. Hmm. What are you doing here? I haven’t seen much of you lately… yeah. …So I figured I’d make an excuse to come visit. Well, you know you don’t ever have to make an excuse to come visit me. But since you went to the trouble, why don’t you lay it on me? I can’T. It’s a surprise. Oh, my god, the baby. Elizabeth, do something.

[ Door closes ] Her pulse is slightly elevated, but she’s breathing. What’s wrong with esme? Can you tell? It — it’s probably something just simple like low blood sugar, right? We need to call an ambulance. You know we can’t do that. That’s why I asked you to come out here, to help her. I’m a nurse, not a magician. There are signs the baby’s in distress. If we don’t do something, she might miscarry.

how’s the guardianship arrangement going? I’d say it’s a work in progress. I was very happy to participate on sasha’s behalf in the decision deception’s partners made to forgo bonuses and make other sacrifices to keep that company afloat. Any objection to taking such drastic action? I’ll admit, I had reservations at first. But then I thought of what you said after brando’s funeral. Help me out on that, gladys. What did I say? That family is the most important thing, more important than money or power or anything. Right. Have you seen the new changes that giselle made? You know, nina’s new chef in the kitchen? No, but I would love to. Alright. You should order a drink so you can catch up to me, and then we can head to the savoy and rock the casbah till they kick us out. You know I’m always up for a good time, but is this about the cowboy in your life? Do you see a cowboy on the premises? No. That’s kind of my point. Things seemed to be progressing, but now he’s mia and you want to go dancing?

[ Sighs ] Can’t we just pretend like it’s old times and just forget about everything else for one night? Brad and britt against the world! Brad. Dr. Westbourne. I’m glad I caught you both. “Betrayal” is a strong word, robert. You’re right. I probably overstated it a bit. But honestly, I thought we were in this together, soul mates. I don’t know what you’re thinking, but if you’re — it’s anna. Ever since she escaped from that prison van, I expected her to get in touch with me. I have no clue as to what her plans are. I’m in the dark. Knowing anna, she’s probably keeping under the radar to protect the people that she loves — one of whom is you, robert. Have you thought about calling robin? Oh, she would never bring robin in on her plans. No, you’re probably right. She’s gone underground to get the goods on victor. I’ve just got to hope that she can find her man… or woman. Yeah, of course you miss lucy. Yeah, what happened was a terrible shock. You know, I don’t want to get your hopes up about something that I may not be able to deliver on, but I just want you to know that there are a lot of people who are risking their own lives to try to find lucy. Is the interrogation room free? Uh, yeah. Yeah, it seems like it. Okay. We might want to do this in private. Wait, wait, what do you mean? This — this surprise requires privacy? It’s your call. Go ahead.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, we definitely need privacy for this. Uh, hayes…

[ Clears throat ] I’ll be in the interrogation room, and I don’t want to be disturbed, okay? Hayes: Understood. Copy that, detective. Oh! Ooh, okay. Now that’s what I call private. Well, yeah, you know, some things are just too good to share with the entire squad room. Mm. Miscarry? Elizabeth, you can’t let that happen. You have to do something. If this baby stands any chance, we need to deliver it, like, now. Here? But — no, it’s too soon. I mean, the baby is too premature to deliver it now. If you don’t want to take her to the hospital, then what choice do we have? Now, get to the kitchen and find a knife. A knife? I will sterilize everything, but we need to move quickly and prepare her. For what? A c-section. Without anesthesia.

A cesarean? Here in the house? I mean, I’m no fan of esme’s, but that just seems like too big of a risk. You’re a nurse, not a doctor. Do you know how many c-sections I’ve assisted? Besides, don’t you want to save your baby? Of course. That’s the priority. But without anesthesia? That just seems inhumane. Okay, nikolas, you need to get ahold of yourself. I’m going to need your help, and I promise I will do everything I can to save this baby. And esme? Do you trust me? Yeah, I do. Then do exactly as I say. There’s a 50/50 chance mother and baby will make it. Get your grubby paws off me and my baby! It’s nice to see my nephew is out enjoying himself. He works so hard. Poor thing. I’m glad he has a friend he can depend on. We depend on each other. If anyone ever tries to hurt brad, he knows I have his back. What britt means is — I know exactly what she means. I appreciate her honesty and her courage. Excuse me. Give my nephew and his friend whatever they want, and put it on my tab. Have a good evening. -Thank you. -Thank you. What has gotten into you? Nobody talks to my aunt that way. Not if they expect to live very long. Selina wu? I’m gladys corbin. We met at the party deception had, celebrating going public? It’s so nice to see a fellow investor. What makes you think a woman is involved in victor’s schemes? Well, I’m referring to our deputy mayor, eileen ashby, who’s clearly working with victor. Why, did you think I was referring to another woman? Laura: Robert, holly. Hi. Hello. Please, join us. Oh, well, thank you. I won’t be long. I’m just waiting for my to-go order. I’m actually bringing my brother some soup. Your brother? Martin grey. Oh, yeah. It’s kind of a long story, uh… but the upshot of it is that I have two brothers that I didn’t know about. One of them is pretty awful and the other one is quite wonderful. And sadly, he’s grieving. He was deeply in love with lucy coe. I — I think I met him at anna’s arraignment. Yes. Yes, he mentioned that, yeah. Poor martin is absolutely convinced that anna shot lucy in cold blood. Dante: [ Gasps ]

[ Sniffs ] Oh, my gosh. Are you kidding me? You got me a hoagie from sal’s?

[ Chuckles ] You’re an angel. Am I awesome? Yes. Angelic? Uh, not always, no. That’s true, but you bringing me food in the middle of work? I call that divine intervention. Go ahead and eat. I had mine with the kids. Oh, you did? You guys all had sal’s, too? We did. That’s awesome. I was about to make dinner, and all the kids were like, “no, we want to go to olivia’s house.” And I just couldn’t show up on her doorstep like that. You should have. You totally could have. She would have loved that. No, I know, but your mom cooks for us all the time. And then I was gonna get take-out. And I asked everyone what they wanted, and rocco suggested sal’S. Yeah, of course he did. So I was standing in line… I also love that they still make you order in person. Well, I love it less when the line’s out the door… mm-hmm. …But I did order you a sandwich to have for when you got home, and I thought I would surprise you and deliver it to you. Like I said, you’re an angel.

[ Groans ] You pathological liar. You were faking the whole thing! At least I wasn’t faking a medical degree. You were gonna let this nurse play doctor and cut me open! Oh, I knew there was nothing wrong with you that a little scare wouldn’t cure. And here, the way people talk about you is like you’re some goody two-shoes florence nightingale. Alright, well, now that the medical crisis is over, because there was never one in the first place, I need to get back. I was in the middle of something I would like to finish. Uh, hello? I’m the one with the baby? The one who’s being kept against her will? Right. See, I might have sympathy for you, esme, but then I remember you filmed a sex tape of my son and his girlfriend and made it public. Personally, I would like to see you give birth in pentonville. But I’ll let your baby daddy make that call. You’re not going anywhere, esme. Get used to it. And what happens next time if I’m not faking it? How about it, nurse baldwin?

[ Muffled ] If something happens to me and my baby, will you be able to live with yourself? Come on, nikolas! Elizabeth, you’re supposed to help me!

And your kitchen is amazing, but you weren’t just giving me a tour, were you? Uh, listen. After what happened to liam and brando, gladys showed more depth and compassion that I thought she could, but at the end of the day, it’s still gladys. That’s why I wanted to have a one-on-one with you, because I didn’t want her putting a spin on things. So I want you to be honest with me. After that meeting at deception, she tried to block the deal, didn’t she? Of course I remember. I was so sorry to hear about your son. Such a tragic loss. Thank you for your kind words. I miss brando every day. In his absence, I’m looking after his widow. Actually, sasha and i are looking after each other. That’s why I took the liberty of calling myself an investor, because the court has made it crystal clear what’s sasha’s is also mine and vice versa. Right. And your daughter-in-law is one of the owners of deception. That’s right. Interesting. Perhaps we have even more in common. Aunt selina doesn’t frighten me. Really? ‘Cause she scares the holy bejesus out of me. What’s your secret? What makes you think I have a secret?

[ Sighs ] Come on, britt. It’s me, alright? I may not be the bravest man in the world, but I’m not stupid. My aunt selina openly despised you, and now you guys are practically exchanging christmas cards. What happened? I’ll tell you what happened. She blackmailed me. I sympathize with martin’s grief, but anyone that knows anna knows she couldn’t have pulled that trigger. Right, holly? I assume so, based on the woman I knew, but I haven’t lived here in decades. Well, unfortunately, there’s video of a woman who appears to be anna shooting lucy, and my brother believes that video doesn’t lie. Well, video doesn’t lie, but people certainly do. They manufacture a truth and then gaslight you into believing it, and by the time you realize that you’re being used, it’s too late. At the risk of putting you on the spot — uh-oh. Mm-hmm. Will you be coming home tonight? Oh, yeah. I’ll be coming home. Yeah? But it won’t be till later. Anna is still on the loose, and, well, this U.S. Marshal that’s been assigned to the case, he’s a real, uh, jerk. Mm, wait a minute. Why bring in a U.S. Marshal? Oh, because the deputy mayor supposedly believes that we’re too overwhelmed here with the search for the hook, when the truth is that she knows that half the department, if we came across anna, would look the other way and the other half would probably drive her across the border. Well, I think that’s good, because anna didn’t shoot lucy. Victor obviously framed her. Yeah, I know that. But he did a damn good job. That evidence is pretty convincing. Well, of course it is. Has anyone told this U.S. Marshal that victor ran the wsb for many years? Instead of treating anna like a criminal, you should be investigating my great-uncle. Yeah, no kidding. I would love to be doing that. But I’ve been assigned to search for anna, so I have to do everything by the book and document every step and hope that anna and my father have covered their tracks. Wait, sonny is involved? I don’t know what hurts worse, ace — my aching back or my wounded pride.

[ Sighs ] Don’t tell anyone, but your mom just got played by cameron’s mother. And here I thought she was some mealy-mouthed goody-goody. But…

[ Scoffs ] …Elizabeth baldwin outsmarted me. If your grandfather were to ever find out, he’d never forgive me. Clearly, I’m having an off day. There it is again. God… is this just indigestion? Okay. That was even stronger than the last time.

[ Inhales sharply ] That’s not indigestion. That’s you, ace.

[ Chuckles ] I’m feeling you. The way you played esme, you had me fooled, too. In all fairness, you’re the expectant father worried about his baby. It probably impairs your judgment. You were beyond convincing. The point is, I convinced esme that I was going to perform a c-section. Without anesthesia. And then she stopped pretending. But after what she did to cameron, if I genuinely scared her, I’m okay with that. And you’re sure there’s nothing wrong with the baby? Okay, don’t get me wrong. She should absolutely be seeing an ob/gyn on a regular basis. But as for today, her reaction is all I needed to know that she was faking it. So, now that you know the baby’s not in jeopardy, what are you and esme going to do? Well, let me be very clear. There is no “me and esme.”

[ Scoffs ] Nikolas, you couldn’t be more wrong. You two are literally attached at the hip. You now share a child together. You and lucky share a child. How often do you two co-parent together? Well, that’s on lucky. I don’t keep him out of my boys’ lives. My point is, you’re living proof that being a single parent works. I was a single parent with spencer. I can do it again. I still don’t understand. What is your end game? That’s where you come in. Me? You proved it tonight. From now on, whatever happens to esme and the baby… depends on you.

yes, gladys did try to block the deal. And at first, it upset me. You know, this was the first time since she became my guardian that we disagreed. But then, I realized that gladys is only trying to protect my share in the company. I have been so focused on staying sober and not letting brando down. Besides, it worked out and the deal went through. So you’re fine letting gladys take action? She’s better than some stranger assigned from the court. True, I did not expect gladys to be quite so hands-on. But at the end of the day, I know that she’s looking out for me. Okay, you got my attention. What else do you think we have in common? I host a private party from time to time at the savoy. Oh. I’m not much for dinner and dancing. What about texas hold’em? Poker? It’s just a friendly game, of course, but money does exchange hands, sometimes quite a bit. But if you’re not interested… I’m not disinterested.

[ Chuckles ] Please, tell me more. Blackmail? I don’t know why I’m so surprised. Aunt selina always gets whatever aunt selina wants. Wait… what did she want from you? Remember when you had your heart set on going back to work at G.H., But I encouraged you to work for your aunt? Do you really think I would have done that if selina wasn’t holding something over my head? Like what? There’s no need rehashing my less-than-stellar history. But in the end, I caved. I’m really sorry, brad. And if you hate me for it, I totally understand. I don’t hate you, britt. And I’ve already told you, I like working for aunt selina. I thought you were just telling me that to make me feel better. No, it’s true. Look, you may not have wanted to make that recommendation, but the way I see it, you did me a favor. I did? Yeah. And now it’s my turn. I know that you’re dealing with something big — and don’t say that you’re not. So how can I repay the debt and help you out? Holly, are you alright? Your reaction just now was, um, a little big. Are you having memory flashbacks as to what happened to you for the past two years? No, no, that — that time is still a blank. Who knows what happened? Who knows who’s missing me? But my heart goes out to your brother. I know what it means to lose someone. I know how many ways there are to lose them — with violence or negligence or even selfishness. But I know without a shadow of a doubt that anna is not responsible for lucy’s disappearance. I’d stake my life on it. I believe that, too, holly. But lucy went missing before you washed up on the shores of lake ontario, so tell me, how can you be so sure? Do you know something we don’t? The same day anna was supposed to be transferred to pentonville, I overheard sonny talking to someone on the phone about anna. When I asked him about it, he said he was arranging for her to be protected in prison. Oh, and yet, by some astonishing coincidence… yeah, within three hours, anna had vanished without a trace. Hey, you wouldn’t happen to know of any of my father’s safe houses that you can direct me to that are in the area, would you? Mm, don’t waste your time. I mean, if I were anna, I would put as much distance between myself and port charles. You would? Yeah. She knows victor’s pulling all the strings. She’s not gonna turn up any evidence here. So if you were anna, what would you do? I would go someplace secure and investigate victor… mm-hmm. …Figure out how he set the frame up, what people he worked with. Maybe one of them will talk. I hope anna is, like, half as good at this stuff as you are. Oh, give me a break. She is a super-spy. She can take care of herself. Yeah, I know. I’m just saying, you can take care of yourself, too. Oh, I — I know. I can definitely take care of myself. Mm-hmm. I just like knowing that now… mm-hmm. …We take care of each other. We do. Tonight was a one-off, a favor for an old friend with his fair share of troubles, but I have troubles of my own that I need to prioritize. I’m gonna go to the launch and get back to town. And then what? I was in the middle of a very important conversation with finn when I got your S.O.S. I would like to go back and finish that. You’re not gonna go to the pcpd and tell them I have esme? You do realize that it’s already too late for that, right? Because you’re a part of this now. Are you threatening me? Of course not. But esme will. Since you didn’t rescue her, she will most likely want to make you pay. Given the chance, she will lie through her teeth and say that you were in on this with me. She will make you an accessory to kidnapping, among other things. Damn it, nikolas. I have children of my own. Even if I was willing to risk this for you or that — the baby who is completely innocent of his parents’ drama, I will not risk losing my boys. Elizabeth, I think you misunderstand. All I’m asking for you to do is to go home and keep silent. Say nothing about what you’ve seen here or what you know. So in other words, I won’t just be an accessory to kidnapping. Eventually, I’ll be an accessory to murder.

So…this is all I need to join your poker game? That and a little luck.

[ Chuckles ] And with sonny being your cousin, you already have plenty of that. Keep the card to yourself. The game isn’t for the average public. Not everyone can afford the buy-in, if you know what I mean. Ms. Wu. I didn’t know you two knew each other. Not friends. More like potential business associates. Business? What kind of business are we talking about? I don’t remember the last two years, but that doesn’t mean I don’t remember what kind of a person anna is. Well, unfortunately, someone’s done a pretty masterful job of framing her. And I guess that means my brother is aiming all of his grief and his rage at the wrong target. Excuse me. You alright? Yes, I just need some air. Well, holly seems pretty positive that anna is innocent. Well, she and anna, they go way back. I think it’s more than that, robert. She seemed almost remorseful. You think she’s working with victor? No, eliz abeth, you’retaking me completely wrong. I have no intention of killing esme. I know what happened to hayden when she became a problem for you. Do you really expect me to believe that you wouldn’t follow a similar path with esme? I’m not going to comment on hayden. The fact that she dropped off her baby with finn and never looked back says it all. Yeah, you shouldn’t talk about hayden. You still haven’t answered my question. Once the baby is born, how does this all end? Before you came here tonight, I had arranged for a helicopter to airlift esme and me to a private airstrip. The plan was to fly her far away from here. You were taking her to cassadine island in greece. Esme would be miles away from the mainland with round-the-clock supervision until the baby is born. And then what? Once my child is safely in my arms, esme would live out her life in comfort on the island. I raised spencer without a mother before. I can do it again. Okay, no offense, but are you really saying that spencer couldn’t have benefited from having two parents in his life? If you’re ready, I’ll call the launch. Nikolas, wait.

[ Sighs ] I’m not trying to judge you. I’m trying to be your friend, but you need to be honest — if not with me, then at least yourself. Do you really think that if you follow through with this plan that you’re no better than esme? It’s simple. There’s no alternative. Of course there is.

There it is it again. Is this your way of telling me you’re gonna be a soccer player, ace?

[ Chuckles ] God, does that mean I’m gonna be a soccer mom?

[ Laughs ]

[ Laugh breaking ]

[ Crying ] Damn it, ace.

[ Laughs ] See what you’ve done? What possible alternative do I have? It’s not like I can go back and build a time machine and not have sex with esme. She’s pregnant, and I’m the father, and I have to accept that. I promise you, I am not going to say anything to the pcpd about esme. Good. Thank you. I owe you. Okay, then, promise me that you’ll forget about flying her off to cassadine island. Esme will give birth right here at wyndemere. And, obviously, you’re gonna need a nurse. There’s nothing wrong with me that a pitcher of sangria and some edm won’t cure. Come on, let’s blow this joint and go to the savoy! Okay. Let’s go.

[ Laughs ] As a deception investor, I was glad to hear that sasha is on the mend. Thank you. I am getting stronger every day, with a little help from my friends. Yes, with friends like sonny, you can’t go wrong. I hope you and gladys will start to consider me as your friend as well. Sonny.

[ Chuckles ] Did you and sasha have a nice chat? Aww.

[ Chuckling ] What’s that for? For always having my best interests at heart. Of course. Always. I don’t know, maybe I’m off base as far as sonny’s concerned, and it’s possible that he really did want to protect anna while she was in pentonville. Ahh, it’s also possible that we’ll hit the lottery and we can renovate the kitchen.

[ Chuckles ] Renovate the kitchen? Yeah. That’s what you would do with lotto winnings? You don’t even cook. Well, maybe I would if the kitchen was better. You would? Really? Yeah, no, probably not. Well, then I guess we shouldn’t spend our lotto money on the kitchen. Okay, well, where do you think we should spend it? I, um, was thinking it’d be… kind of cool to take the kids to iceland. Wait, really? Yeah. Have you been? Uh, no. But it’s supposed to be beautiful. Yeah. Yeah, that’s what I heard. And, I mean, the kids, they’re getting older, right? I mean, the last thing they’re gonna want to do is go away anywhere with us pretty soon, let alone a family trip. Okay, so maybe it’s possible, like, not to spend the lotto money that we didn’t win, and, I don’t know, maybe we can save up for it. Yeah? Okay. Yeah? Like, what, and go next summer or something? Um, yeah, I think we can divert the money that we were going to use on construction and just do the renovations ourself. Renos ourselves? Yeah. Agh. Why? I don’t know. Stop, you sound intimidated. I’m a lot intimidated by renos. I have no ego over that. Don’t worry. Stop. No, no, no. I will show you the ropes. You’ll show me the ropes, huh? Yeah. All of the ropes. You promise? I promise. I love you. I love you. You know, it’s a pretty big jump from holly being emotional about anna to thinking that she’s working with victor. But you said yourself that you caught her whispering with eileen ashby, and there’s no doubt in my mind that my deputy mayor is on victor’s payroll. And I think I just watched her struggle with her conscience just now. Robert, I know that you love her, but deep down inside, in your heart, I think you know she’s hiding something. Victor, we obviously got our — what are you doing here? Oh, no, no, no, no,no, no, no, no. Please. No. No. Ohh!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

. Oh, hey Brady. Uh, how did your meeting go at Titan? Uh, it was long for, the main takeaway is Alex Kakkis is thrilled with your Bella cover shoot that you did with. He would shut up about the chemistry that the two of you had. He said that it sizzled off the page. He’s so excited. He wants to do a second cover shoot with you.

Oh God. Shoot me now.

I hate you. I know that I hate you more.

Jing Wen logged in from Jakarta. Are you sure? No, I am not questioning the competence of the IT department. I just thank you for the information.

What are you up to, little sister? What’s wrong? It’s your hands freezing. Really? It’s like a hundred degrees in here. Maybe you’re just cold blooded. Maybe you’re getting sick. I’m fine. Okay. Maybe I’m a little nervous. No, Vicky, I’m, I’m sorry. I’m, I’m sorry if I, uh, made you uncomfortable. No, it’s not you, it’s what we’re about to do.

I mean, we really tracked down the mysterious Dr. Rolf more like the unhinged Dr. Rolf. Based on everything he’s done, he’s a really dangerous guy.

Is that what this is? Are we talking about my cold hands or your cold feet? Do you wanna abort the mission?

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

Hello? Chloe, what are you doing here? I work here now What Basic Black is operating out of Dera Enterprises offices now? No, I’m no longer at Basic Black. I was given a promotion to Dera. You gave your girlfriend a promotion. Your fiance did. Lee didn’t tell you

the hell are you doing in Jakarta? Inua. I know you’re not there onto mirror business after spending 36 hours to get here. No, I don’t want to abort the mission. I’m totally committed to this. If Lee’s involved in something shady you, I need to know. I’m glad you still feel that way. I do and I hope against hope that there’s some other reason he sent Dr.

Rothfield that doesn’t have anything to do with the plan to brainwash Stephan. I hate to think that Lee’s capable of something so vi. Well, that’s the difference between us. I know all too well what my father is capable of, but I do hope you’re right. Yeah. Well, whether I am or not, I dunno why I’m so dense, you know?

Pride myself on being tough, right? Having nerves of steel. Look, it’s, it’s completely understandable. Okay? You’re going up against an actual mad scientist with formulas that can warp your mind. It’s a little outta your wheelhouse. Oh, but not yours. Mine too. Yeah. But Wendy, I’ve got your back, I promise.

Okay.

How’s that feel? Yeah, it’s good.

Um, I will get my nerves under control. I know you will got faith in you.

It’s my brother.

Look, uh, like hell no. Uh, excuse me. You could never look like hell. It’s just that, uh, I think you’re wearing the same thing you had on yesterday. Yeah. Well, um, I was here all night. You slept here. Unfortunately, sleep was not involved. Okay. You were here. So where was Holly? Maggie’s They had already planned to sleep over.

Ah, look, I know we’re a little behind. With everything, with with Chloe leaving and with you, dealing with this modeling shoot, but you working yourself to death, it’s not gonna help anyone. You’re gotta take care of yourself. All right. I know Brady, I, I wasn’t working, um, you Ray fight or something. It was more like an uncomfortable conversation.

Mm-hmm. , lemme take a wild guess. It was about,

I know that RA wasn’t thrilled about you doing a shoot with Eric, so if it helps, I can talk Alex into dropping the second cover idea with you, Ray Brady. It wasn’t, it wasn’t about the cover

last night. I. Told Re that Eric and I wanna be together

here. Nicole’s laptop, figured she needed for work. I’ll send the rest of her things over. Nicole’s not here. I haven’t seen her since yesterday. She didn’t stay here last. No she didn’t.

I’m sorry. I don’t want to hear it.

Nicole, in no uncertain terms told me that she’s leaving me for you, but you’re saying that she didn’t stay here last night.

It’s complicated. Ah-huh. Right. I mean, of course it’s gotta be awkward moving your ex-wife in under the same roof as your now ex-girlfriend. Where’s Jada getting kicked out? Jada’s not getting kicked out. Oh no. Well, I can’t imagine that she’d wanna stay anyway. I mean, given the circumstances. Or even that you and Nicole would want her to or am I missing something?

Yeah, you’re missing something. Jada’s pregnant,

huh? Nick Guy. I can’t say that I’m surprised to hear this. You and Eric, you always kind of find a way back to one another. Out Rafe, take it as about as well as you’d expect,

right? I should have never married Rafe in the first place. I know that now, and once I did, I should have never. What, what? I just can’t help feeling that I’m getting exactly what I deserve.

What did you do to deserve a job at Damer hq? I mean, must have been good to overcome 16 negative performance reviews. All of which were written by Kristen, uh, and they were all false. Now that she no longer works here, they have magically disappeared from my file. And when did this all happen? Mm, last week.

Maybe Lee told you and you forgot. No, I don’t forget things. Mm. Especially not ridiculous, horrifying things. Then maybe your fiance’s keeping secrets from you.

Come on Jing One, you’re never away from your phone. You avoiding me for some reason. Let it go to voicemail. Can’t. Lee knows I’m surgically attached to my phone. I’ve already missed a few of his calls. He’s bound to get suspicious. Does he usually call you several times? Controlling big brother much. I mean, maybe there’s a work emergency.

That could be why he keeps calling. Yeah, or maybe he’s onto us, which means there’s not any time to waste. We need to go find Ralph. Come on.

call me as soon as you get this. It’s urgent.

In cute secrets from me, Stefan, you just said he didn’t tell you about Chloe’s. Well, probably because he didn’t think it was worth mentioning. And you know, I understand why you wanna work at Demer. I know. I know you’ve been having a hard time at Basic Black and it must be a relief to get away from Brady now that you’ve broken up.

I have no idea. Oh yes, yes I do. Oh, great. The engraver finally sent the proofs from my wedding invitations, Elliot. Elegant. Right. Oh, that is lovely font. Thank you. Wait a minute.

You getting married New Year’s Eve? Yeah. I mean, what could be better? The whole world throwing a party for us. Champagne. Fireworks. You look a little unsettled. Stephan, what? You have a problem with me getting married so soon?

Rolf, my sister Ngn may try to contact. Not to tell her anything. Not a word. Did I just hear you take Ralph’s name in vain? What’s going on? Is there a problem? Oh yeah, it’s a big one.

Okay, don’t worry. I will be right out here the whole time. Just speak to normal volume. The mic is very sensitive. It’ll pick up everything. You never thought you’d be using your fancy film equipment for something like this? Well, you’d be surprised when I was a kid. I, uh, I wanted to be an FBI agent, even learned a few tricks of the trade from my stepdad, Rafe.

Sounds like you’ve had quite a past. Johnny d and I will tell you all about it when we get home. Wendy S And remember, if you need any backup, any backup at all, just use a secret word black belt. Got it. Okay.

Dr. Ralph, I presume.

Why would you even say that, that you’re, you feel like you’re getting what you. Because I’ve made so many bad choices. Brady, I mean, I cheated on Eric with a man. I detests. I blew up EJ and Sammy’s marriage. I blew up Ray’s relationship with my best friend, well, my best friend at the time. All right, let’s, let’s, let’s look, let’s look at that.

First of all, one would argue that you did Rafe a favor there. Second of all, as far as EJ and Sammy are concerned, uh, they can take most of the credit for their relationship falling apart. Okay? Oh my God. Will you stop trying to make me feel better? I’m no better than Ava. Uh, she’s a mafia princess. She’s a ruthless criminal.

She tried to frame rape. Remember? She tried to send him to prison for God’s sake. Yeah. Well, I broke his heart. I kept telling him that I loved him and I wanted to be with him. You were saying what you believed at the time. You know what, if anything, you , you lied to yourself is what you did. Even so. But at some point when I stopped lying to myself and I knew that I was falling back in love with Eric, I still told Ray that I loved him and wanted to be with him.

And now, now, now what you told Ray, that you and Eric have decided that you want to be together. I mean, look, it’s gonna be tough. Onri Reef’s not the only one. When Eric went to tell Jada the news, She had some news of her own to share.

Jada’s pregnant. She didn’t fame because of low blood sugar. Ah, Obviously you’re the father.

You knocked her up knowing that you are in love with another woman. This conversation, well, does Jayden know that you’re leaving her? Huh? Does this change your plans for the future?

So Jada just found out herself last night after she fainted the doctors ransom tests and, okay, what does that mean? I mean, for you and you and Eric. I don’t know. After Eric told me that Jada was pregnant, I was thrown and so rattled and I just took off and I, I haven’t spoken to him since.

So whatcha gonna do? You gonna sit here and feel sorry for yourself? You gonna drive yourself? I have an idea, maybe you should call Eric and I don’t know, talk to him. Maybe I don’t wanna hear what I know. In my heart he’s gonna say, I mean, you know Eric, he’s such a good guy and he has always wanted a child of his own.

So I’m sure he’s gonna do them right thing

and stay with Gina.

Are you okay? How are you feeling? I’m fine. They only kept me overnight as a precaution. I’m just here to get my stuff. What? What are you talking about? You can’t expect me to stay. Where are you gonna go? I don’t know. Uh, maybe the Salem in or Steven, Kayla can help me find a place. Hey Jay. Jack, do you need hand?

Oh, thanks. I’m fine. No, I’m Can’t be lifting heavy boxes.

You told him.

Oh my God. Where the hell do you get off? Talking about my body to my boss? I’m sorry, I just, just what? Trying to explain why you’re not riding off into the sunset with his wife. You know, don’t let me stop you. You can have Nicole, because I want nothing to do with you ever again.

So there’s no other reason for your sister to be in Jakarta? None whatsoever. She said she was working remotely today. She tried to make it look as though she was logging in from Salem. But our IT department was able to pierce the VPN she created and pin down her actual location. Oh, maybe she’d be playing hooky.

No, Jing. Gwen doesn’t do hooky. She used to email her teachers saying she was too smart to need to follow anybody else’s rules. She’s ended up acing the test anyway. Well, in other circumstances I would admire her. But how did she find out where you stashed Ralph? I have no idea. The only person I told was ej.

But why does she even care about Ralph at all? I mean, let alone to track him down halfway across the world. The only possible reason I can think of is that she somehow suspects what we did to Stephan.

Who the, how are you? I’m Wendy Chen.

Maybe you know me as Lee sister. Jean. What, ah, the technology, what account your reputation precedes you? I was, I’ve heard so much about you. Oh good. I hope, of course, Lee sent me here To personally ensure that you have everything you need.

Oh, this lab is just as beautiful as you said it would be. The facilities are state of the art. I have however, had amassed that event in my food fly colony. Oh dear. So our fresh supplier of your will be much appreciated. I trust you can see more fruit flies. I’ll get right on that. Thank you. I’m surprised you didn’t let me know you were coming.

Oh, I’m sure he sent you an email. You probably just missed it. He was determined to give you a royal welcome. After all, he’s extremely grateful for everything you’ve done for him. Ah, you mean my years of faithful service to the mirror enterprises? Of course. There’s that, of course. As well as,

You know, the way you brainwashed Stephan Damara to fall out of love with Gabby Soly could have her for himself.

Of course, I don’t have a problem with your wedding date. Why would I care when you get married? Well, then why’d you bring it up? I, I don’t, it’s just, I don’t know why you’re getting married. So. Okay. You are a bells and whistles type of person, and that takes time. Then again, impetuous is your middle name.

You’ve always followed your every whim. Mm-hmm. Nope. There is no whim. Okay. I have known Lee for years yet, weeks ago you stood in front of me and told me you loved me and now what? You’re getting married to what? Throw it in my face. You’re lucky. That’s the only thing I threw on your face. Oh, really?

Belligerent much. I was engaged to Lee way before you magically rose from the dead. And I, I’m sorry, but you told me my marriage did not bother you. It doesn’t. It’s.

It’s an important day for me. The first time I stepped foot in Salem, it was New Year’s Eve. No, I know. Unfortunately, I was there the day that Vivian unleashed you onto this town. Think of all the, the pain and suffering. We could have all been spared if you just, Steve, where you came from. Oh, guys good. Uh, Gabby don’t you think you’re being just a little bit harsh?

I do not. Okay. Look, I know you’re feeling some things and maybe rejected, but you’ve moved on. Stuff has moved on. You guys seriously? Stefan’s moved on. You you moved on with With who? With her.

So, so what’s the deal? You, you go trick or treating with Holly and then next you’re a couple. You knew I had feelings for. True. Yeah. Yes. You haven’t stopped reminding me. And, and, and, and you, uh, you work very fast, don’t you? I mean, you’ve been broken up with Brady for what, like five minutes and Brady just moved Kristen into his house.

Really? Really. So why shouldn’t Chloe be able to move on with her life? No reason at all, I suppose. And, and, and next you’re gonna tell me that, uh, your wedding date is at Christmas. Now, uh, see, Stephan and I we’re taking things slowly. Oh. But not too slowly. Right. Good for you. Yep. Good for you. Why don’t you tell me where you register?

I’ll buy you steak knives. I don’t know what’s taking Lisa Long. I’m gonna go find him.

Thought she’d never leave.

Jayden, can we at least talk? There’s nothing to talk about. You want to be with Nicole, so go. I don’t need you in my life. I am very capable of taking care of myself, but this isn’t just about you anymore. And that’s the point, isn’t it? You’d probably be with Nicole right now if I hadn’t learned that I was pregnant, but you.

And that involves me. We’re in this together. You know, I’m gonna give you two some privacy. Jada, if you need anything, just say the word. Thanks, Ray. Yeah, and listen, if you need to take any time off, I’ll let you know down the line depending on what I decide to do, right? Yeah, I understand.

Like I said, I’m gonna go back, Jada, wait.

We have separate rooms and you paid your rent through the end of the month. Don’t feel like you have to rush out.

Okay? I guess I could take some time to think things through. I know you have decisions to make,

but before you do, I just want you to know one. What’s that?

You do not know what Eric is going to do. Oh, just because Jade is pregnant doesn’t mean he’s going to stay with her. Hey, this is the 21st century people co-parent all the time, and they aren’t couples. This is Eric Brady we’re talking about. Do you really think he’s gonna walk away from his own child or the.

Of his child. I mean, look at you and Chloe. Chloe and I are a completely different situation. No, you’re not. Yeah, no. Because you love her and she loves you, and you broke up with her and moved back in with Kristen because she’s the mother of your child. Am I right?

Didn’t your sister just get into town? I mean, why would she know anything about Stephan? Much less care about what happened to. I don’t know. I, I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out what could be driving her. Okay.

I’m, I’m, unless what, do you remember recently when we were talking in the conference room? Yes. We opened the door and, and she was right there. She said she dropped her phone. Right, right, right. She, uh, maybe she was actually eavesdropping, did we say? We were talking about Rolf. Right, right, right. But but you, you didn’t mention Jakarta.

We, you just said that he was overseas. Yeah, but it’s, it’s, it’s all starting to add up now. Jing Gwen has always been too curious for her own good. Mm-hmm. or ours. Seems. Well, Lee, you are gonna have to track down your little sister and get her in line before she finds out what you did to Stephan.

Brainwashing. Stephan. I don’t know where you heard that. I got it straight from the horse’s mouth. My brother, or are you calling me a liar? Of course not. I’m just surprised he confided in you. Well, we tell each other everything. The ferry close. I see. And he was extremely grateful for what you did. Making sure Stephan didn’t come between him and Gabby there.

I was happy to have, yes. Okay. Okay. Now we just need to get my dad’s involvement on record.

Working at Damara headquarters has been really enlightening. Hmm. Zing. All the alliances. This seemed to change by the. Oh, it is an invigorating place to work. After all, change is the spice of life. Very true. And also, a few weeks ago, Lee and EJ Derro were mortal enemies. And now what was that? What was that?

I didn’t hear anything. I’m registering a sudden electromagnetic interference.

I seem to have found the source and it is you.

Your brother didn’t send you Diddy. Jing. Then what are you really doing here? You’re varying via, don’t you come near me, old man. I have a third degree black belt. What doing with that ready?

Wendy. Wendy.

I don’t know why I lost my cool and I, I don’t know what kind of reaction she was trying to get outta me, rambling on and on about her wedding like that. I mean, was she trying to make me jealous? Clearly, I keep telling her I feel nothing but contempt when I look. Are you sure about that?

What I did to Stephan? You mean what we did to him? Oh, credit. Where credit is duly. It was your idea, which you gladly went along with. Yeah, but if I’m found out, no one’s going to care. You see, it’s one of the advantages of my reput. Everyone expects me to be underhanded and devious and see since Brady and Chloe have already broken up, if Stephan does get his memory back, it’ll make no difference to me.

But on the other hand, if Gabby does find out what you did to Stephan. Oh, hanging too. It’s going on

this situation with Kristen and me. It was extremely complicated. I know, I know. But what’s pretty simple is the two of you are together again, raising your child. Jada is not Kristen. Well, neither am I. You know when EJ and I were together, I was so desperate to hold on to him. I stole your sister’s baby after I had a miscarriage and EJ stayed with me and he is hardly a man of honor and.

Whereas we both know that Eric believes in the old-fashioned traditional definition of family, as if that’s what we grew up with. Well, maybe that’s what he’s always dreamed of, and he’s never been so close to having it as he is now. I’m sorry. I’m sorry about all this. And I’m sorry that I allowed us to get too.

Yeah, well, it’s a good thing you realize this sooner rather than later that you were in love with Nicole. Although I have suspected it, I just was, I just chose to be in denial about it. I thought we were always safe. If you’re referring to birth control, it’s not a hundred percent like Sarah told us when she first gave us the news.

I know you. It’s your body, it’s your choice, and I’ll support you in whatever you want to do. Really, Eric, I’m kind of surprised since you were a priest that you’re so open-minded. I left the priesthood twice, so I’m not gonna be dog manic or make any demands, but if this makes a difference, I always wanted a.

I never, I never thought I could have one on my own. I’m only telling you this, so you know, if you do decide to carry the baby, you can count on my support financially in any other way he want.

I’ll be there a hundred percent for this baby and for you if you want me to be. And where does that leave you in, Nicole?

I can’t ask Eric to turn his back on the one thing that he’s wanted his whole life. He’s wanted you his whole life. I know you’ve spent a lot of your life thinking that you don’t really deserve happiness, Nick, you are wrong. You do. You do. And so does Eric, and my hope is that two of you kind of find that happiness together.

Thank youre. Thank you for being the best friend anyone could ask for.

Ah, there you are, laptop. I took it by the pod, but you weren’t there. Sort about Jada’s news. Because that really throws a wrench into your plans with Eric. But uh, clearly you’ve already moved on Ray Rays just being a friend. Oh, right. Okay. Is he? Well, that’s great. But, uh, you know, no one knew you should keep your options open.

Just don’t never come crawling back to me.

Am I sure I hate. Let me count the ways you still don’t seem convinced. Well, you seem very eager to throw whatever this thing is that we have going on in her face. Well, of course, I wanted her to see that. I am very happy with you. You are the only woman for me.

Am I interrupting something? Kristen was just asking for her job back and she got upset when I said I couldn’t help her. Not without AJ’s approval. I am only second in command after all. Well, it was worth a shot. Well, since there’s nothing you can do for me, there’s no point in me wasting your time or mine.

Hmm.

Lee, are you lying to me? What are you talking about? Well, you told me you talked to EJ about getting Kapi Sheik back to me, but you just told Kristen you couldn’t even get her her old job back at de. You, you made it seem like getting Gabby Sheik back to me was very doable. Why? Why did you tell me you had the power to help me?

They’re two completely different situations. Gabby EJ sees Kristen as a traitor. He doesn’t want her anywhere near him, but since you are out of Dara, you’re more of a minor annoyance to him. He doesn’t need two fashion houses. Right. Yeah. Thank you. You, you’re the best. Yeah. Question. Um, did you manage to find your sister?

Mm, yeah. Well, it turns out Jwe was playing hokey. That’s strange. But she was so eager about getting this job at Dara headquarters. What, why would she blow it off on her second week at work? You don’t know Jing Wen as well as I do. She is, uh, full of Surpris.

Wendy. Wendy. Hey. Hey. Can you hear me? Oh my God. What did he do to you?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: Brooke? Brooke really called cps on thomas?

Ridge: I thought he should have all the facts.

Taylor: And ridge, you’re sure, you’re sure that it was brooke?

Eric: But the brooke I know would never do such a thing.

Ridge: Well, I didn’t want to believe it, either.

Steffy: She tried getting his son taken away from him?

Ridge: I don’t know what she was thinking, steffy. I don’t know.

Finn: There’s no doubt it was her?

Eric: Look, we all know that brooke had issues with thomas, but for her to do this? Come on.

Taylor: Yeah, why– why would she do this?

Steffy: Because she hates us, mom. Are we really surprised?

Taylor: No, no. I’m just, I’m– I’m completely in shock right now. She went after our son, and he is such a– such a good influence on douglas.

Brooke: You guys don’t have to stay with me.

Donna: Brooke, we’re your sisters. We are not going anywhere.

Katie: Yeah, especially since hope is out of town.

Brooke: Well, she didn’t want to cancel her business trip, but I didn’t want her sitting around just holding my hand.

Katie: And that’s why you have us.

Brooke: Thank you. I still can’t believe it.

Donna: Neither can we.

Brooke: I just signed annulment papers and ridge is already moving on.

Donna: It’s way too soon.

Katie: And it shouldn’t be happening at all.

Brooke: I guess this is what he wants.

Katie: No, it’s not. It can’t be!

Brooke: Well, then why isn’t he here with me? It just– doesn’t feel right. And he’s really going through with it. He’s going to marry taylor tomorrow.

Brooke: You could have stayed for the rehearsal dinner. You didn’t have to leave on my account.

Donna: Are you kidding? I couldn’t wait to get out of there. Sitting there with a fake smile on my face–

Katie: Pretending to celebrate a marriage that is doomed from the start.

Donna: And I told eric I– I wouldn’t make the wedding tomorrow either. He understands. It hurts me. You know, watching ridge and taylor, knowing how much it hurts you.

Katie: I’m so sorry you’re going through this.

Donna: And, you know, honestly, let’s get real. I mean, ridge going from one woman to the next? How does taylor not see this as a big red flag?

Katie: What I don’t get is the thomas connection. You said that he has something to do with why you and ridge aren’t together?

Steffy: Brooke called cps on my brother? I mean, I knew she was horrible, but this? Are you serious?

Taylor: This is, um, this is unforgivable.

Eric: Look, this is just some kind of a misunderstanding. Obviously, brooke wouldn’t do anything like this. Who told you it was her?

Ridge: Like I said, I heard the conversation. I heard it!

Steffy: So no question it was brooke.

Douglas: Grandma brooke’s call? That was the processed voice, not the original.

Thomas: I– I don’t really think you know what you’re talking about here, bud.

Douglas: Yes, I do. I heard it. I heard you. You made that call in her voice. You did it so granddad would get mad and wanna be with grandma taylor instead. Admit it.

Ridge: Thomas, you heard it, back me up.

Thomas: I heard what you did, dad. It was definitely brooke’s voice. Are you feeling sluggish or weighed down?

Brooke: Have I missed something? I– I just keep replaying our conversations.

Katie: I hate that you’re feeling like this. I just wish we could help you put the pieces together.

Brooke: You guys just being here for me, that’s enough. Really.

Donna: But there’s still, there’s– there’s got to be more to the story. Of course, your feelings about thomas, your very valid feelings, I might add, that might add a little friction to a marriage, but…

Katie: My god, how is it possible that ridge and taylor don’t see thomas for who he really is?

Brooke: I don’t know!

Katie: I mean, look at his past. Look at his obsession with hope.

Brooke: He’s a pro at this point. He’s just a total con artist. Just keeps picking away at those threads, trying to unravel my marriage so that his family wins.

Thomas: I, uh, told douglas to hang out in his room.

Steffy: Yeah, it’s probably best he isn’t here to listen to what brooke did.

Thomas: I agree.

Taylor: You must feel so betrayed.

Thomas: Well, you know, dad’s the one that got manipulated.

Taylor: Yeah, she called cps on our son. He could’ve had his parental rights taken away.

Steffy: So hope could have douglas full time.

Finn: That was brooke’s reason?

Taylor: How do you think, ridge? Is that why she did it, so that thomas and douglas couldn’t be together?

Ridge: I don’t know. I’m shocked as you are.

Taylor: But you– you didn’t say anything. You knew this before you came to aspen and you didn’t say anything?

Steffy: Dad, please don’t tell me you were protecting brooke. She targeted thomas.

Thomas: Yeah, you know, dad and I actually, we promised we wouldn’t say anything to anyone, especially brooke.

Eric: So brooke doesn’t know that you’re aware of this?

Ridge: No, she doesn’T.

Thomas: You know what? Brooke threatened to call cps, and then cps showed up at the door, so I’m pretty sure she could figure it out.

Steffy: And you expect us not to say anything? She needs to be called out!

Thomas: Brooke is already out of our lives and dad’s already said goodbye.

Steffy: She can’t get off this easy.

Thomas: If I can let it go, so can you.

Steffy: So mom and me just have to pretend like nothing ever happened? What?

Thomas: What is going to happen if you– yeah, I know. I get it. I get the feeling you want to go over there and you want to make sure that brooke gets what she deserves. I totally get that, but what’s she going to do? She’s going to come over here and she’s going to cry and beg and plead to him because she wants forgiveness. But he’s already moved on and he’s getting married to our mom. Alright? Let’s just put brooke behind us. Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Donna: I don’t trust thomas. Honestly, he has always given off, like, weird vibes.

Katie: I mean, look at the way he’s using douglas to lure hope over to eric’s house.

Brooke: I agree! I am sick of talking about thomas. He’s had too much power over my life as it is. And I know ridge is just being protective of his son, I mean, the same way I’m being protective of my children.

Katie: You don’t let them dictate your life. I mean, they’ve had issues with ridge over the years, but you work it out.

Brooke: Right. If you say vows, you’ve got to stick with it, right? You have to work through that. But there’s ridge! He’s exchanging vows with somebody else.

Donna: So wrong. So, so wrong.

Brooke: Yeah, it is. That whole family is over there at eric’s, waiting to just celebrate his marriage tomorrow.

Katie: I don’t know how ridge can celebrate anything knowing that you’re here heartbroken.

Ridge: Alright, can we be done with this now? We’re supposed to celebrate–

Taylor: No, ridge, this is– this is very important.

Eric: I need some details here. How did any of this happen?

Ridge: What do you want to know, dad? It’s her voice, I heard it, I didn’t wanna listen to it.

Finn: How did this all start?

Thomas: You remember knife-gate? You know, brooke freaking out because i had a tiny little pocket knife that I used to cut up an apple?

Taylor: Yes, and she was afraid that douglas was there.

Thomas: Yeah, except it wasn’t a big deal, and douglas couldn’t care less.

Ridge: Well, obviously, it was a big deal to brooke because cps showed up here shortly thereafter.

Steffy: You’re telling me she freaked out because you were eating an apple?

Thomas: Yeah.

Taylor: She was looking for an excuse to make you appear unstable, and that was it.

Thomas: Right. But regardless, dad wanted to know why they showed up. So–

Ridge: Right, so thomas suggested we reach out to someone that actually worked for forrester for a while, walter. He now works for a company that works for child protective services. And we got in touch with him and asked him if we could listen to the recording.

Agent: Child protective services.

Brooke’s voice: Hello. I’d like to report a child in danger. His name is douglas forrester. His father, thomas forester, is unstable. He has a knife.

Agent: And your name, ma’am?

Brooke’s voice: Brooke logan.

Ridge: And unfortunately, it was brooke. I’ve never been so blindsided in my life that someone would want to do this to my son.

Taylor: And then you– you came to aspen. This is– the whole thing’s unbelievable.

Steffy: This just proves she isn’t worthy of you.

Thomas: Yeah. And now, brooke, isn’t going to hurt you anymore.

Eric: Look, I’m sorry I’m hearing all this, you know, but I’m finding it very hard to believe.

Ridge: Okay. No, I can see that. But why is that? I’m telling you, I heard the recording. We both heard the recording. She said her name!

Eric: Did you confront brooke about it?

Ridge: I gave her every chance to come clean. To maybe try to explain or apologize, but she said nothing. The only thing she did say was that, oh, my god, how could anyone do that to thomas? She lied to my face and then she came to aspen.

Brooke: I know you, ridge. I know there’s something that you’re not saying, and I wish you would just– just say it.

Ridge: Why are you doing this? Why are you pretending that you don’t know what this is?

Brooke: I don’T.

Ridge: Can you just be honest and– and say it? I just need to hear you say it.

Brooke: Say what? I– I don’t know what it is you want me to say. I mean, what do you think I did?

Steffy: I’m sorry, dad.

Finn: Yeah, I can’t imagine how hard that must have been.

Taylor: I wish I would have known. I wish I would have known that you were struggling. Both of you.

Thomas: It’s not about me. I just feel bad for dad.

Steffy: Well, since we’re being honest with each other, what brooke did, as awful as it is, I have to ask you, dad. Is this why you’re marrying mom? During walmart’s black friday

Brooke: I love ridge. And I know he loves me, too.

Donna: Of course he still loves you, brooke. I’m sure he’s thinking about you day and night.

Katie: Ridge will never love anyone the way he loves you.

Brooke: I just miss him so much already. I’m trying to come to terms with the fact that he’s going to marry taylor tomorrow.

Donna: It just seems so final, but maybe it isn’T. You know maybe– maybe there’s still hope.

Brooke: I don’t know what to do, donna. I don’t know what more I can say to get through to him. I don’t know why he’s doing this, why he’s marrying taylor, leaving me. All I know is that he still loves me.

Katie: Well, it’s clear that something happened to make ridge leave and it’s not his undying love for taylor and the fact that he can’t live without her, which means that that marriage doesn’t stand a chance. So don’t give up on your life with ridge.

Steffy: Dad, I don’t mean to put you on the spot in front of mom, in front of everyone, but I do need to know why you’re marrying her. I’m sure she’s wondering too.

Ridge: No, you’re not putting me on the spot. It’s a fair question. Brooke broke my trust in so many ways, but that’s not why I’m here. I’m here… because I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I deserve that. Someone loyal. Someone honest.

Taylor: I love you, too. And you’ve said so many wonderful things to me and I believe you. I do. And you’ve shown me. You’ve shown me that you want to be with me. So I’m going to continue to believe you. No matter what.

Thomas: Yeah, and mom, he’s not with you because of what brooke did. You know that. What she did was just one of a million reasons why he could break free.

Steffy: I just wanted to be sure, dad, that you’re sure.

Ridge: I get it.

Thomas: Well, you know what? You two are a magnificent couple. I’ve watched you since we were kids. And, uh, like I said before, you have a love that not very many people do. It’s pretty impressive and, uh, you know, it’s been a long time. But after a few obstacles, you made your way back to each other. And here we are. So, uh, to the wonderful couple and the beautiful days ahead.

Eric: Absolutely. Cheers.

Finn: Cheers.

Thomas: Cheers.

Finn: Steffy, the kids, and I couldn’t be happier for you two.

Steffy: We are so happy, we are over the moon. We absolutely adore you.

Ridge: What’s not to like?

Taylor: You know, I am so excited to be your wife again. I’ll tell you something, ridge forrester, I– I’m going to make this so good for you.

Ridge: Yeah?

Taylor: Yeah, I really am.

Ridge: I know.

Taylor: I’m never going to let you down and i will always be honest with you. I promise you that.

Steffy: Okay, okay. You have the wedding tom– woah, woah, woah. Okay. We have the wedding tomorrow. All this sweet chit chat– mom, let’s talk about the wedding and everything.

Taylor: Okay, we’ll be back.

Thomas: I mean, hey, I’m a fashion designer. Shouldn’t I be in on the whole dress–

Steffy: This is girl time!

Thomas: I’m like chopped liver over here, what’s goin’ on?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Adam: Hey, chelsea. How are you? You look like you’re getting stronger.

Chelsea: Thank you. I feel stronger. And I spoke to dr. Malone earlier. She’s authorizing my release today.

Adam: Are you sure you’re ready for that?

Chelsea: Yeah. I haven’t had any thoughts about hurting myself, and we both feel the crisis is over.

Adam: Um, I assume that you’ve spoken with her about setting up a treatment plan?

Chelsea: Mm-hmm. I’ll be joining a support group, and I’ll be seeing her on an outpatient basis. So…

[ Bag zips ] …Everything’s been set up.

Adam: Well, that’s great. You know, maybe I can help you find someplace to live. You know, given the circumstances, I don’t think the grand phoenix is the greatest idea.

Chelsea: You don’t have to worry about me. I’ll figure that out. For now, I’m just focused on seeing connor.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Yes, he is, uh, very eager to see you.

Chelsea: It won’t be an easy conversation, explaining to him why I’m here and what I went through.

Adam: Well, we don’t have to, uh, worry about any of that right now, okay?

Chelsea: Actually, adam, we do.

Billy: She’s being released already? That’s really good news.

Sharon: Yeah. Chelsea doctor says that she’s getting stronger and she’s not a danger to herself or anyone else. So, she will have one last inpatient therapy session, and then she’ll be given the all-clear.

Billy: [ Sighs ] Okay. Well, that’s good. I’m really happy to hear that. Although I don’t — I don’t think it’s a good idea that she goes back to the grand phoenix. I think she needs to, you know, go someplace where she can start something fresh, you know?

Sharon: I agree. And I’ve already come up with a solution.

Sally: I invite you to brainstorm, and you bring me a bucket? And it is not even filled with muffins or a nice pumpkin chai.

Chloe: Miles left it in the sandbox. But we are going to fill it with positive things until it is overflowing with goodness.

Sally: You first.

Chloe: Okay. Um, first, we’re going to fill it with money…

[ Coins clatter ] …That we will be making very soon. And now our résumés will gleam now that we can add ceo and coo to our list of accomplishments.

Sally: And we have a wealth of knowledge and experience as fashion creators.

Chloe: Oh, not to mention all of the people that have worked for us. Our leadership skills are through the roof.

Sally: Well, our biggest problem now is figuring out what direction we choose next.

Chloe: I was thinking the same thing. I mean, the sky’s the limit.

Sally: Fashion, media. I mean, there’s nothing we can’t do.

Chloe: All we need to do is summon our good energy and maybe…

Sally: Good recruiters will come out of the woodworks and show some interest?

Chloe: No. No, we are going to create our own opportunity because we have the right ingredients. We just need that special sauce that brings it all together.

Sally: Okay, so, what do we do until we find this magical concoction?

Chloe: You know, we — we heat things up, you know, spice it up. You know, I mean, I’m running out of cooking analogies, but i think you know what I mean.

Sally: Not really.

Chloe: Okay, we just need to walk into a room and act like we own the place, right? I mean, we just got to take the lead.

Sally: Yeah, I mean, I’m certainly on board with that.

Chloe: Yeah, we can do it. And, you know, I mean, it also wouldn’t hurt if you would just accept nick’s offer to help us out.

Sally: Look, chloe, I already told you —

Chloe: Hey, nick. Come on over.

Chelsea: Dr. Malone and i both think it’s important that connor knows the truth about why I had to come here.

Adam: Eventually, chelsea.

Chelsea: Why not now?

Adam: I don’t think you should be taking that on just a few days after what happened, i mean, especially when you don’t even know where you’re gonna be living, chelsea.

Chelsea: It just feels like you’re making excuses as to why we shouldn’t tell our son the truth.

Adam: I just think it’s a little premature to discuss the details of an incident you have barely started working through yourself, chelsea. I mean, you know connor. He’s a very sensitive kid. This is gonna have a profound effect on him.

Chelsea: Connor is also a really smart kid, adam. And he’s gonna know there’s more to the story than what you’ve been telling him.

Adam: Well, I didn’t — i didn’t know what to tell him, chelsea. Sharon and billy kept me in the dark for so long.

Chelsea: They did that because they thought that’s what was best for me.

Adam: Okay. And right now, I’m just asking you to think about connor and what’s best for him. Alice loves the scent of gain so much,

Chloe: Okay, while my friend and former boss is too proud to ask for a favor, I am infinitely more practical. We need work. And not just for the financial reasons, but for a sense of purpose. You know, we are passionate about creating, communicating, and making waves, and it is no secret that we surpassed everyone’s expectations at newman media. So, just imagine what we could do in an industry where we have a history and a reputation. Fashion, for instance.

Sally: Chloe, I thought we said that we would figure this out on our own.

Nick: I’d like to hear what she has to say. So…humor me.

Sharon: Mariah and tessa are relocating to the tack house on the newman ranch. Victor and nikki offered that to them.

Billy: Okay. Well, that’s good for them. A little more space.

Sharon: So, that means that the apartment upstairs will be available.

Billy: For chelsea.

Sharon: I’ve already run it by her therapist, and she’s on board. So, as long as it’s okay with chelsea, of course.

Billy: [ Sighs ] You know, sharon, it’s really big of you. I mean, it’s one thing to help someone out in a jam, but you have gone above and beyond for someone that you’ve had a challenging relationship with in the past. Not everyone would stick their neck out like that.

Sharon: Well, I had to think about it a lot, believe me. But there are two things that led me to my decision. One is, I know rey would approve. And I just know in my own heart it’s the right thing to do. I hope chelsea feels the same way.

Chelsea: I am thinking about connor…and how he’s probably spent the past few days imagining all sorts of things have happened to me.

Adam: Well, I told him that you were sick. That was the truth. We don’t have to rush into telling him all the details, chelsea. That’s all that I’m saying.

Chelsea: Okay. But connor has to be a part of this. He has to know what happened, and he has to hear it from me. The last thing I want is him trying to interpret a bunch of half-truths or him, you know, seeing the way people look at me behind my back. Or, worse, what if he hears some gossiping about what really happened, adam? He’ll wonder why he didn’t tell him, or, worse, he will blame himself. No, we have to arm him with the truth. And my therapist agreed with me.

Adam: I really wish I had been a part of that conversation, chelsea.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

Adam: Okay, maybe we could talk to your therapist together on how to approach connor. We could talk about what to say to him, what to avoid, and find out if waiting is the best option.

Chelsea: [ Breathes deeply ] What I’m hearing you say is that you’ve made up your mind and you want to delay telling our son the truth.

Adam: Chelsea, I just don’t want to upset him more than he’s already been, okay? You haven’t been with him. You haven’t seen him. I have been trying to reassure him, but he’s been kicking himself for how he treated you over this whole johnny thing. He thinks he’s pushed you away. And I’m telling you, if for one second he thinks he pushed you this far, it worries me.

[ Knock on door ]

Dr. Malone: Hello.

Adam: Good to see you, dr. Malone.

Dr. Malone: Good to see you, too. Chelsea, you ready?

Chelsea: Yeah. Um… please just respect my decision on this.

Adam: Alright. Well, I’ll come back later to pick you up, and I want to help you with the transition.

Chelsea: No, someone else volunteered. Sharon. And, um, I think billy might come, too.

Adam: Well, I’m so happy that people are stepping up to help you, but, um, just consider what I said. Excuse me. I’m just gonna grab my coat. Alright. [ Clears throat ] You didn’t live this strong, this long to get put

Dr. Malone: You seem unsettled. Tell me how things went with adam.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Confusing. He doesn’t think we should tell connor the truth about what happened. He says it’s too soon and we need to wait.

Dr. Malone: Until?

Chelsea: Until I’m stronger, I guess?

[ Sighs ] I was just so confident about my decision after we spoke. But then I spoke to adam, and now I —

[ Sighs ] I don’t know. I mean, he’s — he’s a great father. I know he’s coming from a place of care and love and concern. I know he wants what’s best for our son.

Dr. Malone: Well, frankly, chelsea, what matters to me is how you feel. And, second, what’s best for connor. Do you think you’re in a strong enough position to handle this conversation with him?

Chelsea: I do. I know it’s gonna be one of the hardest conversations I’ve ever had with him, but he needs to hear the truth, and he needs to hear it from me… so I can eliminate any concern and so I can show him that I’m okay and, most importantly, that I can show him that this is nobody’s fault, especially not his.

Dr. Malone: Then the conversation we should be having is, what’s the best way to do that?

Billy: My initial thought is that chelsea would welcome the offer. But I can’t assume, you know? I just need to continue to take my cues from chelsea, what she needs, what she wants.

Sharon: Well, her doctor may have approved the release, but it’s still only been 72 hours since she was on the verge of taking her own life

Billy: Yeah.

Sharon: So, this is a very delicate time. Chelsea has a few more obstacles to navigate coming up here, and I don’t want to add to that.

Billy: Mm. Um…

Sharon: Hi, adam.

Adam: Hey. I, uh — I just wanted to let you know that I just saw chelsea.

Sharon: Oh, so you know that she’s being released today.

Adam: I do. I wanted to get your take on something we discussed. I can come back when you’re free.

Sharon: Well, we’ve already discussed that we need to work together as a team for chelsea’s sake, and it’s particularly important right now as she’s preparing to leave the facility.

Billy: I agree. I think we’re all on the same side here.

Adam: You’re right. Uh, I feel confused because the last time that I talked to chelsea, we agreed that we were gonna wait to tell connor what happened, and now, all of a sudden, she has gotten it in her head that she needs to tell him what happened right now, even though nothing in her life is settled. She doesn’t even have a place to live.

Sharon: Oh, well, actually, i was going to offer her the apartment upstairs.

Adam: Well, that’s very generous of you, sharon. I hope she accepts that. But what is, uh, really bothering me about all this is how it’s going to affect connor — because he’s trying to figure out who he is and where he fits in, in this world. And now he has all this other baggage on top of dealing with, uh, the confusion of finding out that chelsea is johnny’s biological mother.

Billy: So, what are you saying, adam? You don’t think that chelsea should tell connor?

Adam: I feel it’s best that we wait. But you have the experience and the degree. So, sharon, what do you think?

Sharon: What is her therapist saying?

Adam: [ Sighs ] I want your unbiased take, please.

Sharon: Okay, well, this is a difficult situation for everyone. Um, you know? But if chelsea feels like she’s ready to take this step, I think we need to support that choice. I think it’s important to be open and honest with connor. He’s going to take his cue on how to react based on your emotional state, so it’s important to remain positive and be consistent.

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Billy: I agree.

Sharon: What about you, adam?

Adam: I’d, uh, like to have a word with billy…alone.

Chloe: Okay, when sally came to town, like any true star, she just wanted to shine. And she didn’t allow for the fact that there is room for one more star in the galaxy, but she regrets getting off on the wrong foot with summer. Sally has changed. She has learned to focus her energies in a positive direction. And I know that summer doesn’t trust her, but I do. And summer trusts me. And she is the creative director of the hottest fashion house in town. So, all you need to do is convince summer that sally needs a second chance.

Sally: Chloe. Dial it back to zero now.

Chloe: [ Chuckles nervously ]

Sally: [ Sighs ] Ever leave your clothes in the dryer

Sally: Chloe, I told you we aren’t doing this.

Chloe: What? The worst thing he can say is no.

Sally: I don’t want anyone’s help. And, look, I’m sorry that she put you on the spot like that. I would never ask you to intervene and try and get us a job with summer at marchetti.

Ever. And it’s nothing against summer, of course. You know, I would be very lucky to work with her, but chloe was right. I was awful to her and to kyle, and I really feel terrible about that.

Nick: I know you do.

Chloe: But you also know that we would be an asset to marchetti. And with sally’s unique sense of style and my finger in the zeitgeist, I mean, we just — we just mix all of that up, and we could turn it into gold.

Nick: I have no doubt about that. And if I was in charge, I would hire you two in a second. But I don’t interfere in summer’s business, not even to ask for a favor. That’s not the nature of our relationship.

Sally: I am glad about that.

Chloe: Okay, well, you know, it was worth a try.

Nick: I do, however, have what I think is a better idea. If you are, in fact, interested in getting back into the fashion space, how about a loan from me? Then you can start your own label.

Dr. Malone: I realize that adam has concerns, and I’m in no way dismissing them. But I think it’s important to talk to a child connor’s age to help him understand what happened.

Chelsea: It’s a lot to digest.

Dr. Malone: Connor’s probably very confused right now and uncertain about what might be wrong. He may have created scenarios in his head that are causing him to feel fear or anger or guilt.

Chelsea: Well, adam’s afraid he’s gonna blame himself for what I did, that he’ll feel responsible because of the way he reacted when he found out johnny was his half-brother.

Dr. Malone: It’s not uncommon for children in this situation to feel that they’ve done something wrong or that they’re to blame. You need to make it clear to connor that he’s not at fault in any way. No one is. His mom had a difficult time, and she felt badly enough where she couldn’t see a way out of the pain. You don’t need to flood him with information. And I think it’s important for connor and for you to open up the dialogue. Make sure you talk to him in a safe environment for him, where he feels comfortable and free enough to express whatever emotions he’s having, even if it’s anger.

Billy: It seems like you got something you want to get off your chest. Why don’t you go ahead?

Adam: I wanted to say thank you, billy. I’m immensely grateful to you for stopping chelsea from stepping off that rooftop. You saved connor’s mother’s life, and I will never forget that.

Billy: Sounds like there’s a “but” on the horizon.

Adam: What does your continued involvement in chelsea’s recovery really mean? What is it you’re after, billy? Dancing is everything.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

For your most brilliant smile,

crest has you covered.

Billy: Well, you’re right, adam. There is something I want out of all of this.

Adam: Mm. That’s, um, typical. What is it?

Billy: I want chelsea to be better. I’m gonna go a step further. I want her to be happy. Is that okay with you?

Adam: [ Scoffs ] Is this a joke to you, billy?

Billy: I don’t expect you to understand this, but when I got chelsea off of that ledge, i made a promise to her to be there for her, to help her in any way that she needed. And I plan to make good on that promise.

Adam: How does lily feel about this dedication to chelsea, billy?

Billy: Right. Well, that — and among many other things — is none of your business. In fact, the only thing that you should be focusing on is your son and helping him.

Adam: You just — it seems like you have a lot of influence on chelsea right now. I mean, she’s in a vulnerable state.

Billy: I hope you’re not implying that I’m leading her down the wrong direction.

Adam: No, what I think you did is told her exactly what she wanted to hear, that she should throw all of this at connor with no thought how this will affect him. Just as long as it makes chelsea feel better, you know, bring it on.

Billy: Well, you’re wrong. And, look, I’m not going to presume to know what’s best in this situation. In fact, it’s uncharted territory for me, as well. And I get it. You want to be cautious. And what you and chelsea decide to do with your son and how you plan on handling that is none of my business. But I will say this. I think we need to take our cues from dr. Malone. She’s the professional, and she’s the only one that is equipped to give advice.

[ Door opens ]

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Chloe: This is an extraordinary offer. And I know I speak for sally when I say —

Sally: Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts, but we have to decline.

Chloe: No, we don’T. Sally and her wacky sense of humor.

Sally: Okay, while your offer is incredibly generous, I’m afraid that we’re gonna have to speak about this internally and then we can circle back around. I’m sure you understand.

Nick: Yeah. Of course.

Chloe: Okay, sally, um, you know, maybe we should talk about this in private a bit more and —

[ Cellphone pings ] You got to be kidding me. I just — [ Sighs ] Uh, just a moment. My sitter is having issues. Um, I — let me just deal with this. If you make any decisions without consulting me first, I am going to be very disappointed.

Sally: [ Clears throat ]

Nick: So, this is a first, uh, being in a position where i feel like I just offered to do someone a favor and then immediately feel like I need to apologize.

Sally: Well, I am not used to people going out of their way to do me a favor, so forgive my awkwardness.

Nick: No, I’m sorry for putting you in that position. It’s just, chloe was talking, the idea just kind of came to me. It’s not like I have some grand plan to make it up to you for my sister mistakenly firing you.

Sally: So, then what is this?

Nick: It’s a loan. That’s it. The kind where I give you money, you give it back, not in the form of kisses — well, maybe kiss– no, no, no. No kisses. No hugs. No coupons for hugs. Just cash.

Sally: This just sounds like a colossally bad idea.

Nick: All of the best adventures of my life have started off with those exact words.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: Alright, I’ll tell you what. While you consider that offer, maybe think about another one.

Sally: Okay. I’m afraid to ask.

Nick: Drinks. You and me just hanging out, not talking about me offering you money to start your own business.

Sally: Okay, so, if we don’t talk about that, then what’s left?

Nick: I mean, there’s just so many fascinating topics. Let’s start with one of my favorites — me.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: Look, the last time we were together, you told me about where you wanted to be in life. I think it’s time I told you what I was thinking.

Sally: I would like that very much.

Chelsea: Thank you, dr. Malone, for everything you’ve done.

Dr. Malone: You’re the one who’s done the hard work, chelsea.

Chelsea: I’m definitely in a better headspace.

Dr. Malone: Can you tell me a little bit about where you are right now?

Chelsea: Um, definitely thinking more clearly. Um, I was in such turmoil for so long, and I was taking it out on the people that were close to me, especially my friend chloe.

Dr. Malone: She’s a good friend?

Chelsea: Yeah, she’s the best. You know? We definitely hit a rough patch because of my issues, but i think I should tell her the truth, too.

Dr. Malone: Sounds like a good idea. I’m sure she’ll give you plenty of love and support.

Chelsea: I hope so.

Dr. Malone: You’ve done a lot of good work, chelsea. You should feel proud of the commitment that you made to address the root causes of what brought you here. It won’t happen overnight. You’ll have rough days ahead. We all do. But just know you’re strong enough to make it through. And reach out for help when you need it.

Chelsea: I will. I promise.

Dr. Malone: Good. And call me once you’ve had a chance to talk to connor so we can discuss how it went.

Chelsea: Okay. I definitely will.

Sharon: Hey. Oh, sorry. I didn’t realize you were still in your meeting.

Dr. Malone: It’s fine. We’re just finishing up. You have your instructions and a list of appointments and numbers.

Billy: Hey.

Dr. Malone: And your friends. Rely on them. All of them.

Chelsea: I will. Thank you, dr. Malone.

Dr. Malone: Be well. And we’ll be in touch.

Chelsea: Okay.

Billy: Thank you, doctor.

Chelsea: Hey there. I didn’t know you’d be coming.

Billy: Where else would I be as a core member of your support crew?

Chelsea: [ Laughs ]

Billy: And as such, I — i just want to let you know that there’s absolutely no rush. If you feel like you need more time to catch your breath a little bit or spend a few more days in here, you do whatever’s right for you.

Chelsea: No, I’m — I’m ready. I’m ready to go.

Billy: Okay. Let’s get out of here then.

Chelsea: There’s just one slight problem. Um, I don’t have anywhere to go. I haven’t had time to make arrangements, and I don’t want to go back to the hotel for obvious reasons.

Billy: Yeah, of course.

Chelsea: Maybe you could drop me off somewhere that, like, has internet. I could get online and find someplace to stay.

Sharon: Um, let’s go do that.

Chelsea: Alright, you guys keep making looks at each other. So, what’s going on?

Billy: All in due time. Let’s hit the road.

Chelsea: Okay.

One bounty versus two of the

leading ordinary brand

Chloe: Sorry for the interruption. So, where are we?

Nick: You know what? I’m gonna leave you two to discuss things. I hope you seriously consider my offer. Just let me know.

Chloe: We will.

Nick: Bye.

Chloe: Okay.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Chloe: I know you’re having reservations, but, oh, my god, sally, nick wants us to succeed. I mean, he’s giving us a chance to make our dreams a reality. And it’s not free money, which i know could make you feel like there might be strings attached. It’s a loan that we could pay back as soon as humanly possible.

Sally: Yes, I know. Nick said the same thing. I just don’t want to be in anyone’s debt, okay? And — and things with nick and me are still a little blurry. Something might be happening.

Chloe: Okay. Is that what you want?

Sally: [ Sighs ] What if it doesn’t work out?

Chloe: Then it doesn’t work out. There are no guarantees in life, but it’s not like nick is just going to walk away and demand the money back.

Sally: That’s not the point.

Chloe: You need to take your personal feelings out of this and look at it for what it is. It’s a business transaction.

Sally: I learned the hard way that it is not that simple. Look at what happened at newman media. My past involvement with adam tainted my entire tenure there as ceo, at least in victoria’s eyes.

Chloe: Yeah, because she hates adam. This is a totally different situation.

Sally: No. No, I have to keep my personal life separate from our professional future, and it’s gonna be a heck of a lot easier if I am not involved with our banker.

Chloe: Okay, will you just work with me here, okay? This kind of opportunity comes once in a lifetime, if you are very, very lucky. And we will make sure that you’re comfortable with this and make the most out of it. Just please don’t say no. Not yet. Promise me. Just promise me that you’ll at least think about it.

Dr. Malone: Oh, didn’t expect to see you back here.

Adam: Um, I, uh — I came to see chelsea. I had some second thoughts about our earlier conversation.

Dr. Malone: She’s been discharged. She left with sharon and billy.

Adam: Of course.

Dr. Malone: She’s lucky to have so much support. She’s gonna need a lot of that in the coming months.

Adam: Well, I promise she will get it.

Sharon: How you feeling?

Chelsea: Um, I’m not sure.

[ Chuckles ] But it is really nice to be back here.

Sharon: Um, would you like some tea?

Chelsea: Sure. I’d love a cup. I’m just gonna focus on trying to find myself a place to rent, at least short term.

Sharon: Oh, um, billy and i had a conversation about this earlier. That’s what the looks on our faces were that you saw before. And I also went over this with dr. Malone.

Billy: We both thought that going back to the grand phoenix probably wouldn’t be the best idea, and so sharon had a great idea that she ran by me.

Sharon: Um, tessa and mariah were living upstairs for a little while, but they’ve decided to move to the tack house on the newman ranch, just to give them more space.

Chelsea: Are babies on the horizon?

Sharon: Well, fingers crossed. They have begun the adoption process.

Chelsea: Oh, wow. That’s wonderful news.

Sharon: Yeah, which means, um, the apartment upstairs is now up for rent, if you’re interested. It’s really cute. And, um, it has a lot of light, and, um, it’s pretty comfortable. I happen to think it’s a fabulous location.

Billy: Chelsea?

Chelsea: I don’t understand. Why would you offer that to me after everything I’ve done to you?

Sharon: I offered because i want to do this for you. And, you know, there’s room for connor, too. And you have the best coffeehouse in town downstairs.

Chelsea: I don’t know what to say.

Billy: Say yes. Do it for the cinnamon buns.

Sharon: Do it for yourself.

Chelsea: Thank you. Yes. [ Chuckles ] Thank you so much. Who says you have to spend more on skincare

Adam: I am aware that i played a pivotal role in getting you off track. And because I feel responsible for so much of your pain, I’m invested in just trying to get you some relief.

Chelsea: So maybe this isn’t about me at all. Maybe this is just the guilt talking.

Sally: It’s like you’re an addiction. It’s not healthy. It’s toxic. And letting you in, letting you get to me was a huge mistake.

Chloe: You did this to yourself. You pushed too hard. Your desperate pursuit made sally run in the opposite direction, and now she finally has room in her life for good things.

Adam: Look, there has been a lot of conflict between us lately, and I think it would be good if we got to the root cause of it.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Look, if you’re gonna bring up sally, just don’T.

Adam: We need to talk about it, nick.

Nick: Why?

Adam: Because I’m still in love with sally.

Adam: And I want you to know that I am truly, deeply sorry for lying to you, for hurting you…and for loving you.

Sally: Loving me?

Adam: If I never would have fallen in love with you, we wouldn’t be where we are now, sally. Okay, I need you to know, as much as I treasure the memories of all the joyous times we spent together, I would have given it all up if it meant that I never caused you a moment of pain.

Sally: I could never regret anything that gave me so much… and felt so good.

Adam: I know you may think you have feelings for nick, but he’s just a way to help you forget what you and I have.

Sally: So, this is about nick.

Adam: No. It’s — no, it’s not. What — what I meant to say is —

Sally: No, I know — I know what you meant because you — you — you said it. You opened your mouth. The words came out. So, thank you for being honest. I mean, everybody knows your history with your brother. I mean, is this really even about me, or is this just about beating nick? He can get some good job at newman, but you could stop him from getting me? Did you mean anything that you just said? Or is this some power move to best nick and win me back like some kind of prize?

Adam: [ Sighs ]

[ Door opens ]

Chelsea: So, this is my place now.

Billy: Just waiting on some personal touches.

Chelsea: You both have been so unbelievably kind to me, and you have every reason not to be. I mean, sharon, our history? The word “messy” doesn’t even begin to explain it. And, billy —

Billy: We don’t need to worry about that right now. The only thing that matters is that we’re here for you, now and into the future.

Sharon: And I would stay and give you a full tour, but I just got a text from mariah and she needs me at the tack house to help her with some unpacking. So, um, chelsea, welcome home.

Chelsea: Thank you, sharon. That means more to me than you know.

Sharon: Alright. Text me if you need anything.

Chelsea: Okay.

Billy: Thanks.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

Chelsea: Wow. I don’t even know what to say.

Billy: Well, that’s odd because that was never a problem when we were podcasting.

Chelsea: [ Chuckles ] I honestly don’t know if I could have gotten through this without you.

Billy: I do. You would have because you’re strong. But I am happy to be here for you.

Chelsea: God, I feel like i need to, like, send lily a gift or something. I’m taking up all your time. I’m taking you away from her, from your work.

Billy: That’s okay. She knows that you need the attention right now. She’ll understand.

Sharon: Does she know the whole story about me?

Billy: [ Sighs ] No, I wasn’t sure how much you wanted to share, so I — I kept it pretty vague.

Chelsea: So she doesn’t really understand. She doesn’t know how bad it got. I don’t want her to get the wrong idea, billy, so [Sighs] You need to tell lily the truth.

Adam: Thank you.

Nick: [ Sighs ]

Adam: Well, look who it is. My, uh, wonderful brother. Bartender, hey, uh, drinks are on him.

Nick: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: It’s the least you could do. Why don’t you pull up a stool? I’m sure we could find something to talk about.

Nick: [ Sighs ] I’m meeting someone.

Adam: Oh. “Someone”? I can see that, uh, uneasy look in your eyes. Let me guess who it is.

[ Footsteps approaching ]
