THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You said you had an ideaabout how to book me a gig? Okay. I’m listening. There’s no time to explain. You just have to trust me. You do trust me, don’t you? You know, when you and ava were talking in — at the hospital and I walked in, ava clearly seemed like there was some kind of trouble going on. No. No, no, no. It’s — it’s nothing important. It didn’t feel that way to me. Sonny. I — come on. You made it perfectly clear there are things that happen in your life that we can’t talk about. And it needs to go both ways. Okay? Ava and I, we’re friends, and there are some things that need to stay between us that you can’t be a part of. Okay, I know she’s your friend, but she’s also avery’s mother. So I-if… if she’s in trouble and you’re not telling me something, I want to know, just like if you were in trouble.

[ Squeals and laughs ] Curtis: And please remember the majority of people attending tonight just finished their freshman year of college, so they’re under 21. No alcoholic beverages for anyone wearing an orange wristband. Thank you.

[ Chuckling ] Wow! It looks amazing! Trina is gonna feel so special! Honey! [ Chuckles ] Oh, my gosh! This is incredible.

[ Portia laughs ] Thank you so much for shutting down the club tonight for us. Well, it’s the least I could do. And we all deserve to celebrate and a little happiness for a change. Well, thank you anyway. I love it!

[ Chuckles ] Honey, this is above and beyond. My pleasure. Now, listen. I have some things I got to arrange. But you two enjoy the party. Yes!

[ Chuckles ] Hey, you know, uh, congratulations on your engagement. I’m really happy for you. Jordan: Likewise. Oh! Jordan. I-I — tj told me I was invited. But given how trina’s trouble started, is me being here gonna be a problem? Hey, trina! Oh, my gosh. Congrats on this very, very special night. You must be so relieved that this whole thing is now finally over. Yes. Well, thank you. Where’s joss? I figured you two would be coming together. You know, she said she had to stop by G.H. First, but I-I swear she should’ve beaten me here. I wonder what’s keeping her. Wait a second. You’re not actually gonna crawl into that? We’re just talking about a bracelet. Why don’t you just buy your sister a new one? No! My sister is going through enough right now, okay? Look, if there’s a chance the bracelet’s in here, I’m gonna look for it. Are you gonna help me or not? Sure. Why not? Hold this. Still no text from joss, but I-I’m sure she’ll be here soon. Okay. No rush. Okay. It’s early, and I plan on living it up. Me too.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Telephone rings ] Tj: Brando. Hey. Tj. Feel free to tell me this is none of my business, but I saw you sitting here while I was still on duty. That was over an hour ago. I’m headed off to a party in a few minutes, but I have some time to talk if you want. Um… sasha’s in trouble, man. And I don’t know how to help her or even if I can. Lucy. Hi! Ah, it has been way too long since we got together. Yeah. Hi, there, you. Why here and not the metro court? Oh! Um, you know what? I just thought… let’s get a change of scenery going on, you know? And maybe it’s good sometimes to get out of the building where our offices are, right? I couldn’t agree more. Alright. So let’s be honest. You guys have been radio silent with me for a week or so. I’m glad you decided to bring me back in. I’m ready. What’s on the agenda for today’s meeting? That would be you… and, um, your future with deception.

Course ava’s worried.I mean, she was attacked. She didn’t see who attacked her. And there’s no suspects. So the person who did this is still on the loose. And, for me, I-I’m not in trouble. It’s just I have a lot on my mind, given the date today. How do you mean? Brook lynn: Uncle sonny! Hey! Brook lynn. Nina: Hi. Brook lynn!Brook lynn: Hey, nina. Hey. -How are ya? -I’m doing great, actually. That’s why you got that big smile on your face. What’s the reason? Well, I don’t know if you’ve heard, but, um, chase and I are now officially a thing. Ah — a thing, as in we’re a couple. Yeah. -Hey! -Congratulations. Welcome to the family. Uh, so to speak. So, we should do dinner one night, you know, like a double date. D-do you really think that michael would be okay with that? Look, I love my cousin, but we don’t see eye to eye on everything. Besides, we’re adults. I really think we should do it. It’ll be a blast! Brook lynn, how long have I known you? A long time, right? Brook lynn: Yeah. I know when you’re buttering me up. So…what favor do you need? I didn’t realize that my future with deception had to be addressed. I am an equity partner after all. Yes. Exactly. Um, and, well, your behavior as of late has made the company vulnerable. And, um, I don’t know if you noticed — I hope you at least noticed — but business has taken a very big hit. So perhaps you could just take a step back from deception just — just for a while until you’re well.

[ Stammers ] Okay. I am well, and I don’t like this one bit. But you know what? I, um — I understand where you’re coming from. I will take a step back from the fall campaign. The winter one, too, if need be. All this drama should be forgotten by then. What? We’re gonna need more than that. I heard about sa sha’s incidentwith smoltz at the metro court. Sent you a couple of texts just checking in, but when I didn’t hear back, I-I figured you had a lot on your plate. Sasha’s attorney came up with a strategy for her to avoid prison. Wait. It’s that serious? It could be if we don’t find a way to address it. We had an appointment this morning with dr. Rubin, and the idea was for her to pitch a potential solution to sasha. But the session didn’t go as planned. How so?

[ Sighs ] Look, brando, I’m not just your friend. I’m also a doctor, so any medical information you share with me, I will consider that privileged. I have felt so helpless, tj. I couldn’t save my son. I couldn’t stop sasha from spiraling. And now I am worried that I might have crossed a line with her. I hold no ill will about your role in trina’s investigation. I’m sorry. I thought I made that clear before. Jordan, you were just doing your job. And I know that.

[ Chuckles ] And when push came to shove, you helped lead the charge against esme. Yes, yes. And all of that is behind us now, anyway.

[ Chuckles ] If you’ll excuse me, I need to go check on something. Okay? I hope I’d be able to extend the same grace to portia if the roles were reversed. You know, I’m just glad the two of you were able to mend fences. Maybe it’s time for all of us to leave the past in the past. I’ve already been waiting for an appointment for genetic counseling. Yes, yes, put me on the schedule as soon as you possibly can. No, it’s not concerning me. It’s concerning my daughter. Actually my medical history, I-it’s not relevant. And the screening, it’s in reference to my daughter’s paternal line. I wonder if that’s ever truly possible. Trina. I was just with spencer. He didn’t mention anything about your party. I-I had no idea he was planning to come. Yeah. Neither did I. Honey. Do you need anything from me? I’m fine, mom. In fact, I think I’d like a couple of minutes alone with spencer. Well, we’re right here for you if you ever decide you need backup. For a second, I thought that you were going to have me escorted out. Everyone just wants the mood for tonight to remain fun. Mm-hmm. For me and my friends. Which is why I wanted to congratulate you before I get shipped off to pentonville tomorrow. Because we are friends. No, spencer. We’re not. Is this your first dumpster dive? Or are you one of those progressive college students who’s into, like, repurposing old food? Gross. No. This is my first time going through trash, public or private. You must really love your little sister. Of course I do. What are you, an only child? No. I-I’ve got siblings. But we don’t get along very well. Or at all, actually. I’m sorry to hear that. I’m super close with all of my siblings. Well, it is what it is. I’m better off without them. What makes you say that? Well, uh… if I never moved on, then I would have never come to port charles and… I would have never crossed paths with the people I met here. We should keep searching. My foot’s stuck. Hey — oh —

Can’t a girl just wantto spend some quality time with her favorite nonbiological uncle and his second life’S… partner? I’ve been called worse. You’re playing with fire now, brook lynn. Okay. You called me out. Mm-hmm. And you’re right. I do need a favor. Actually,

we need a favor. Because I have decided to follow in my mom’s footsteps and become a behind-the-scenes force in the music industry. Believe it or not, it’s been two years to the day since I lost my voice, thanks to nelle attacking me and depriving me of the gift of singing. Look, I may have been down, but I am not out, okay? I have a ton of experience in the music biz. I-I can still write songs, and I can take everything I’ve learned and help new talent, you know, manage them, which is what I’m doing with chase. So, uncle sonny, I know you have a ton of connections. I was hoping maybe you could flex a little bit of that muscle and help me get him some gigs. What do you say? I know that I’ve said some stupid and, uh, regrettable things to you, but, um, this all started because we were friends last year. Okay. Look, spencer. I can’t deny the past. Yes, we were friends. Unfortunately, things have changed since then. The most important thing that I need to do is heal. And, honestly, I just — I can’t do that if you’re still part of my life. But what you said on the witness stand when you tried to give me an alibi… I won’t forget that, either. You sacrificed your own freedom to try to give me mine. That’s a big deal. But we both need to move on. Take care of yourself in pentonville. I really want the best for you. Truly. I do. Okay. Um… 500 showers aren’t gonna fix this. We were just lying in trash. Well, you were falling, and I tried to help you, but you’re really strong. Yeah. Alright. Well, the important thing is we just keep looking for the bracelet, alright? Ohh! Ta-da! I found it. Look. Avery’s bracelet. You’re sure that’s it? I’m positive. Impressive. Yeah. Well… I had help. Well, what did you do that you think crossed a line?

[ Sighs ] I was so desperate, tj. Sasha’s been making all kinds of rash decisions lately about her health, about her finances, even this legal situation. She’s — she has an issue with drugs, but she’s resisted treatment for months. That’s what led to all of this. And I’m not judging her. I mean, I’m — I’m speaking as a former addict myself. But sasha had a psychiatric break, man. And it didn’t happen privately. It happened during her appearance on the “home & heart” show. Yeah, yeah, I didn’t get to see it live, but I caught a clip of it on social media. Yeah. That was — it was rough. Yeah. And then there was that incident with that reporter smoltz where she lost it and attacked his car. And that’s — that’s when… her attorney, martin grey, came up with the idea that the court might be more lenient on sasha if she agreed to a guardianship. Now, I would be her conservator. I’d be in charge of all of her treatments. And, um, I would have power of attorney for her. I could — I could see how an attorney would be in favor, and I guess it could work… as long as sasha agreed. That’s where I screwed up. I didn’t include sasha in the conversations. When dr. Rubin pitched it to her, she snapped. What are you looking for, lucy? A public apology? You want me to do another interview and open up a vein and beg for forgiveness?! And for what?! Grieving the loss of my son? For relapsing? Oh. Okay. Wait, wait. It’s a lot more complicated than that, and you know it. You have been struggling for quite some time now, and you’ve also made some very rash decisions that have affected your well-being. Well, guess what. It’s also affecting the well-being of our company. And I hate saying this, you know? It’s — it’s horrible to have to say, and I hate that you have to listen, but you are. You’re right. You’re an equity partner in deception, which means you have the power to make decisions over all of deception, even if you’re not in the right headspace for that kind of responsibility! Okay, okay, okay. Enough with the slow wind-up. What’s the bottom line, lucy? You want to push me out of my company?

[ Sighs ]

A second? Just hang on. We haven’t even heard uncle sonny’s reaction. So? What do you say? Well, I know a few people who would book chase as a favor to me. Oh, my god! You’re amazing! Well, nah, nah, nah. Listen. Last time you came to me for a favor, it was about teaching linc a lesson. It had nothing to do with chase’s career. I’m sorry. You did what? Whoa. Linc is a dirt ball. Okay? And, chase, you have real talent. Booking you at some real venues both promotes you and gets me a little payback on linc. Seems like a win-win to me. Look, we are just trying to set up our next chapter while making sure linc gets the punishment he deserves. That’s good enough for me. Consider it done. Okay. Hang on a second. I’ve got something to say. Here. Take my hand. No, no, no. I’m good. I can do this myself. Thank you. Look. I give you credit for finding the bracelet. But it’s gonna smell so bad, you’re probably gonna have to buy your little sister a new one anyway. Yes, well, I’ll be going home and cleaning it because obviously I have to change all my clothes before trina’s party. See, that’s why, no matter the weather, it’s always a good idea to wear layers. Do you plan your day looking for chances to take your shirt off? Haven’t had any complaints so far. But, you know, I could have kept my shirt clean and just let you look for your sister’s bracelet alone. You’re right. Thank you. Any time. Have fun at your party. Thanks. Couldn’t hear what you and trina were saying, but I read your facial expressions. You okay? Not really, but I was just about to leave anyway. What’s that? Um — [ Chuckles ] I had this crazy idea that I would confess everything in a letter to trina, that I would give it to her in person and she would read it and she would forgive me and everything would be better again. Typical me, right? Always trying to solve things by taking the easy way out. I guess it was a really stupid idea. Spencer… that is your first non-stupid idea you’ve had all year. Man. Curtis. Hey, dad. Congratulations on your engagement to portia. Lord knows I’m glad I’m here to see it. Well, you know, we decided to fight for our relationship, the same way you encouraged trina to fight her court case. Come on, now. She did the same for me. Because of trina, I’m able to have a shot at doing something with my family. And you. I can’t say I’m all that surprised. I mean, who would love the idea of signing over their free will to someone else, even if it’s their spouse? So you think I overstepped. I’m not a psychiatrist, so it’s not my place to say medically. And I’m not inside of your marriage. I was gonna bring up the idea of the conservatorship to sasha last week, but, like, I just — I couldn’t muster up the courage. And then I tried to convince myself that dr. Rubin would be able to explain it better. You know, it’d be in a safe, controlled environment. But… that wasn’t the truth, man. Then what was the truth? This is really hard to admit… but I was ashamed of what I was asking sasha to do. I demand an answer, lucy! Are you kicking me out of deception? No. No. We are not voting you out. Then what are you asking for?! What we’re asking is just you simply voluntarily put your fiduciary responsibilities and your financial stake in deception into a trust. That’s all. And then we can monitor it until it’s deemed you’re better. Better? [ Scoffs ] And who gets to decide when I am better, huh? Some doctor? Or you?! Are you gonna take a vote?! No. Listen to me. If you don’t help us out here, work with us, cooperate, then, yes, we would be forced to vote you out. But we don’t want to do that. We want what’s best for you. So come on. Just — just think about it, okay? Please. Just — what do you say? Take a step back from deception, just for now. Hell no!

I never give sasha the chance to ask for help. I-I always overstep before she’s ready, and then she pushes me away. I don’t give her a chance to come to me. There may be some truth to that, but isn’t the better question… why are you telling all this to me and not to your wife?

[ Chuckles ] Good point. Look, sonny, I mean no disrespect, but I see brook lynn’s attempt at making me a pop star is more of a — a sabbatical. My first love is being a police officer, and I am still holding out hope that I can be one one day, if the civilian review board allows it. Our lines of work don’t exactly overlap very well. Yeah, I-I understand, and I respect your honesty. But you’re lucky because my business contacts at the music venues, you know, it has to do with… I distribute coffee to them. Yeah, but your name alone comes with many connections, and I’m on such thin ice at the pcpd that I just can’t risk it. Well, I might have a potential solution, okay? I am really good friends with curtis ashford, and we both could put in a good word about you performing at the savoy. Uh… I mean, I guess if the ask came from you, I could live with that. Thank you, nina. Yeah, that — that would be really great. And, of course, thank you, uncle dimples, for always making time to listen to me. I’m actually going to go see curtis because I want to congratulate him on his engagement! Will you come with me? Yeah. Okay. See ya. See you both. Bye. Thanks, guys. Well, that worked out for the best, didn’t it? You’ll have a gig in no time. Brook lynn, you went way too far tonight! Look, we — we all want trina to have a fantastic night. Yeah. God knows she deserves it. Spencer, she also deserves to know the truth. Okay? That way, she can make an accurate assessment of what kind of role she wants you to have in her life. And I’m not saying this because I think you guys have a chance together.

[ Chuckles ] It’s slim, alright? I-I’m saying this because I learned the hard way, through my mom, that suppressing your feelings, it — it only leads to trouble. And I think the fact that you came here uninvited to deliver that letter in person, instead of just dropping it off at a mailbox, says that you think that, too. What’s that? Oh, it’s my calendar. Sasha has a deception meeting at the pc grill tonight. I’m supposed to meet her there afterwards. That was…until everything blew up. I’m headed to the savoy. If you want, I can drop you off at the grill first. Thanks. Yeah. Yeah. I-it’d be good for sasha and me to talk about things when tensions aren’t so high. Let’s go. I am not gonna step back and be some phony figurehead! Please. Please, please. Keep your voice down. The last thing deception needs is another public spectacle.

[ Scoffs ] Is that why you chose the grill? You thought I wouldn’t cause a scene in such an upscale place?! Well, think again, lucy! You betrayed me! This is a company that I put my blood, sweat, and tears into!

[ Patrons murmuring ] Okay, that’s enough. Stop right now! You listen to me. I love you. I — I love you like a daughter. And you know that! You know that! But I will be damned. I am not gonna let you jeopardize everything I’ve worked my entire life to build! No way! Yeah. Like a daughter, huh? Yet at the first sign of trouble, you decide to shove me off the lifeboat! First sign of trouble?! Come on, sasha! This has been building for well over a year! This is not the first sign! So you just abandon me now, huh? Just like everyone else?! Go to hell, lucy!

ething,isn’t she?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. She is. I’m just lucky I survived to watch her grow up… you know, sometimes into a person I don’t even recognize, you know? Trina’s definitely her own person.

[ Chuckles ] I’m a — I’m a strategist. I game everything. Portia, she’s a healer, more holistic, but… trina? She leads with her heart. She’s a rescuer by nature. Wants to save the world. Sometimes I just wonder where she gets it from.

And I mean it for real

my heart is beating for you excuse me. Oh. Okay.

[ Chuckles ] I am so sorry epiphany couldn’t make it tonight. Ohh. I remember cramming for the mcats, and I — whew. I don’t envy her at all.

[ Chuckles ] How are things going between the two of you? Very well. We look good. Yeah. You know, portia, I told epiphany about my diagnosis, and that woman couldn’t have been more supportive. Oh, I’m happy to hear that. Yeah. Me too. I often wonder what it could have been, had I been honest about my original diagnosis back in the day, but… I don’t know. I — I got blindsided. Maybe if I had had symptoms when I was younger, maybe I could have — coulda, woulda, woulda, coulda — been better prepared to handle it. Nina! Hey. Glad you could make it. Sonny. Well, thank you for the invitation. And, look, I know this is a party to celebrate trina, but congratulations on your engagement! Thank you. You know what? I’m gonna go congratulate portia, okay? See you later. Yeah. I got to go check on something. Curtis. What’s going on? I mean, can we just clear the air here? ‘Cause why do I get the sense that you think that I’m crashing the party? Because you are. No. Hold on. I mean, nina was invited, and I thought you and I were friends. Look, we did favors for each other, or so I thought. Right. As it turns out, it was only one-sided. Are you still mad because I didn’t dig into your father’s arrest record? Oh, my gosh! Why didn’t you tell me you could dance?! I don’t know. It doesn’t really come up in casual conversation. And we’ve never gone out dancing before. Usually I try to bust a move at weddings or parties with work people. You know, there’s this cop banquet thing next month. People are supposed to bring their significant others, if, uh, you’re ready for that. You know what this whole trial situation has taught me? That I shouldn’t waste time being so cautious. So I’m ready to take the leap if you are.

This is how I really feel and I mean it for real -hey. -Hey. You finally made it. Yeah. Good to see you. I was wondering what was keeping you. Did you go all the way home to change? I can’t believe we’re catching another meltdown from the basket case of deception. -No. No, no, no. Sasha! -Watch it! Leeches! All of you are leeches! You’re just trying to get a piece of me when I’m trying to get my life back on track?! This is a public place. If you don’t want attention, act normal. Act normal, huh?! Like you were by filming me! -Ohh! -What the hell?! How’s this, huh?! Is this crazy enough for the basket case of deception?! -Ma’am. -Is this what you wanted? Ma’am. We’re gonna have to ask you to leave. Get your hands off me! I said get off me! Stop it! Stop! Get off me! Hey! Sasha.

Okay. It’s fine, really. It’s — it’s okay now. Okay. I’m so sorry. What am I doing? What’s going on? Are you okay? No. No. I’m — I’m not okay, brando. I need help.

[ Crying ] I need help. -Hey. -Tj. You’re so late. Was there an emergency at the hospital? No, no. Excuse me. Um, just had to give a friend a ride. But aunt stella texted me. She is on her way from the airport, and she really wants trina to know how happy she is for her. Well, maybe this will encourage stella to stop traveling the world and stay put in port charles. Yeah, I’d like that, too. But I’m happy that my auntie has had the opportunity to see the world. And to think that almost got taken away from her from a technical glitch. What are you talking about? You forgot? The ancestry website, it initially matched her with the wrong person before her cousin in london. They said she had a close relation here in port charles. I went too far? What are you talking about?! I was even kind of polite and everything. That favor you asked sonny? You never even asked me about it. The last thing I need is to be associated with the mob. My reputation needs to be on the up-and-up. Okay. Okay. Okay. You’re right. I’m sorry. Well, all’s well that ends well, right? Because it turns out we owe nina for this favor, not sonny. I-I just want to be clear. It is important to me that you don’t put me in another compromising position again. Unless… message received. Okay? I will not compromise your integrity while we figure out a way to take down linc. Thank you. I don’t know what you expect me to say. I asked you for a favor. You turned me down. And at that moment, I learned that I can’t depend on you. It’s that simple. You have no idea what I’ve done to protect your family. Okay, well, here’s your chance. You know what? Forget about it. Okay. You know… I like you, curtis, but can — why don’t we just work this out? Sonny, you made your rules abundantly clear. I just don’t like ’em. We got a problem here? I did change. Yeah. I’m surprised you even noticed. Well, I’m a little bit stupid, but you changed outfits completely. Yeah, I mean, it’s — it’s no big deal. You know, like I told you earlier, avery lost her charm bracelet, and it was from ava, so I had to go look for it, and she said that she wore it to G.H., And my search led me into a trash bin. So I wound up doing a little bit of dumpster diving, which was pretty disgusting, but I ended up finding the bracelet. My girlfriend is a certified badass. I’m just sad that you didn’t call me, though. I-I wouldn’t want you to do that alone. I’m gonna get a water. Do you want one? Sure. Spencer, wait! I’m gonna take your advice to heart. I-I’m really sorry. I’ll see you when I see you. Have fun tonight. Um… spencer. What is this?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jennifer: I can’t believe someone did that to sonny.

Maggie: Thank you, sweetie.

Jennifer: Did you sleep at all last night?

Maggie: Oh. A while, finally.

Jennifer: How’s victor taking it?

Maggie: Well, he’s doing his best to be strong, you know, for justin’s sake, but I’m really worried about him.

Victor: Young man in his prime gets stabbed in the back and the only thing this rag can worry about is money. Leo stark ought to be eradicated from the planet. Should’ve done it myself a long time ago.

Alex: This is on me, uncle vic.

Victor: Alex. What are you talking about?

Alex: I had the chance to take care of stark last night and I didn’t do it. If sonny doesn’t make it out of this, I’ll never forgive myself.

[Phone rings]

Sloan: I don’t appreciate being summoned.

Rafe: You know what I don’t appreciate? Deranged killers freely roaming my streets, so why don’t you tell me where leo stark is?

Sloan: [Sighs]

[Knock on door]

Leo: Nobody’s supposed to know I’m here.

Chad: Stark. Open the door.

Leo: Chad? Oh, god. What do I do?

Chad: Open the door, or I’m gonna kick it in!

Leo: I’m coming. Chad, you don’t understand!

Chad: I understand plenty. You murdered my wife and my best friend. And now, it’s your turn to die.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Chad: You recognize this? You used it on abigail and sonny. I went through a lot of trouble to steal this from the police evidence room and it was worth it because now, I’m gonna use it to rid the world of you.

Leo: Please don’t do that. I’m begging you.

Chad: Begging, begging. Did my wife beg you before you stuck this into her? Did she beg you to think about our kids?

Leo: I didn’t kill abigail, I swear to god!

Chad: See, sonny, sonny, sonny didn’t even have a chance to beg. You just snuck up on him and now, he’s dead.

Leo: He’s dead?

Chad: You stabbed him in the back like the coward you are.

Leo: I am. I am a total coward. That’s why I couldn’t have stabbed anybody. I pass out if I see blood. I didn’t do any of this!

Chad: Shh. You think that I am gonna believe a word that you say?

[Flesh squelches]

Leo: [Groans]

[Dramatic music]

Chad: [Sighs]

Leo: [Gasps]

[Panting]

[Elevator bell dings]

Chad: No, no, no, don’t tell me that sonny–

Justin: No, no, no, no, no. He’s alive.

Chad: [Sighs]

Justin: He’s just in the icu.

Chad: Okay, he made it through the night. That’s a good sign.

Justin: Yes, yes, but the knife did a lot of damage. His surgeon said that he’s still critical, but stable.

Chad: Thank, god. I thought when I saw the two of you talking, I–

Mr. Kiriakis.

Justin: Yes. How’s sonny?

He’s still holding his own, but the doctor said you could see him now.

Justin: Oh, thank you.

Chad: I can’t believe this.

Stephanie: Sonny’s tough. He gets it from the johnson side. We don’t mention that to victor.

Chad: [Chuckles]

Stephanie: He has so much to live for. He’ll pull through.

Chad: Yeah, he has to. I don’t think I can handle losing anyone else I love right now.

Sloan: You already had to drop the charges against leo, now you want to pull him in?

Rafe: Oh, yeah.

Sloan: Why?

Rafe: Hmm. This.

Sloan: [Chuckles] So? That’s a steak knife. Look, I’ve got somewhere to be, so could you just get to the point?

Rafe: Last night, chad dimera went to sonny kiriakis’ office and he found sonny lying on the floor with this knife stuck in his back and leo stark standing over him. So could we knock off the games now? Some days, it felt like asthma was holding me back.

Rafe: Your client and sonny hate each other.

Sloan: Did chad see leo stab sonny?

Rafe: No.

Sloan: Did anybody else?

Rafe: Not that I’m aware of.

Sloan: So no witnesses. Isn’t it possible that chad walked in just as leo was trying to administer first aid to mr. Kiriakis?

Rafe: Not with their history.

Sloan: What history?

Rafe: Well, leo blames sonny for ruining his romance with his last mark and you know, he used to work for sonny at titan, so he knew how to talk his way through security. And his fingerprints are all over the handle of that knife– means, motive, and opportunity.

Sloan: Maybe leo was trying to pull the knife out. Some people panic, you know? They do stupid stuff.

Rafe: Oh, you got an explanation for everything, don’t you? You know, maybe you can use those talents to explain why the coroner also believes that that knife was used in another murder of one of leo’s enemies, abigail dimera.

Victor: The only person to blame for what got done to sonny is leo stark.

Alex: I know that, but–

Victor: No buts. Don’t go trying to make this your personal tragedy. And as far as leo stark is concerned, that little weasel’s gonna rue the day he ever laid a finger on a kiriakis.

Leo: [Groans] I’ve been on hold forever. Was I cut off by that? Yeah. Yo. This is sonny kiriakis’ brother, alex, just calling to find out how my kid brother’s doing. Oh, that’s wonderful. I mean, awesome. Yeah, thanks a lot.

[Cell phone beeps]

[Sighs] Sonny’s still alive, which means I can’t be framed for another murder. Which means all I have to do is figure out the name of the rat who is setting me up.

[Sighs]

Stephanie: I hear you found sonny.

Chad: [Clears throat]

Stephanie: Did you get any sleep at all? I don’t suppose you’ve had any breakfast. I need to make myself useful, so I’m gonna go down to the cafeteria and get you whatever doesn’t look disgusting.

Chad: Oh, I can’t eat. Not until I know sonny’s okay.

Stephanie: Well, it may be a while before we know that. I don’t want you passing out from low blood sugar.

[Elevator bell dings]

Chad: Will.

Will: Where’s sonny?

Stephanie: He’s in the icu. I’ll show you where it is.

[Tense music]

[Monitor beeping]

Justin: You were always a good sleeper, even when you were a baby. And when you did wake up in the middle of the night, you never cried. Your mom and I would just hear you babbling to yourself in your crib and one of us would go in. Your mom used to sing a song. The same song.

Sleep my child

and peace attend thee

all through the night

guardian angels

god will send thee

all through the night

[Cries] I’d give anything to hear her sing that again.

[Crying] I love you, sonny. Please, you have to come back to us. I can’t lose you too.

Will: Justin.

Justin: Will. Will, you made it. Thank, god.

Will: When did he get out of surgery?

Justin: Not till the middle of the night. They didn’t want to reverse the anesthesia, so we have to just wait for him to come out.

Will: Is it okay?

Justin: Oh, yeah. Please.

Will: Hey. Hey, sonny, it’s me. I’m here. I’m here.

It’s started. Somewhere between a cuddle

Jennifer: And now, I’m going to fix you something to eat.

Maggie: No, you’re not. Please, come and sit down.

Jennifer: [Sighs]

Maggie: Tell me, jenn, how are you getting through these days?

Jennifer: Oh, well, jack really took a nosedive when gwen was charged. He’s a wreck. She put abigail through so much, but he never thought that she’d go this far.

Maggie: Sweetheart, I asked how you are, and you told me how jack is.

Jennifer: Well, it’s harder for him because of gwen.

Maggie: It’s just as hard for you. I know how it feels to lose a daughter, and I wasn’t as close to summer as you were to abigail. But she was your firstborn. She was your baby. Your friend.

Jennifer: I– believe me, aunt maggie, I know, but listen, people grieve differently. I mean, I’m okay. I have to be. Jack and chad and the kids, they’re…

[Sighs] They need me. Thomas and charlotte are having to go through life without a mother, and their father is really struggling. Someone has to be strong.

Maggie: You know what? I worry there’s no one to be strong for you.

Jennifer: [Sighs]

[Cell phone ringing] Oh. Oh, it’s the ad sales department at the paper.

Maggie: At a time like this?

Jennifer: Yes. I’m so sorry. I have to take it. Hello? Hi. Yes, it’s me. What’s up?

[Soft dramatic music]

Maggie: Pain killers. Oh, jennifer.

Alex: My brother’s fighting for his life. You want me to focus on business.

Victor: You’re damn right I do. When sonny gets better, and he will, I want him to come back to a company that’s thriving. That’s where you come in.

Alex: How? What are you talking about?

Victor: Do I have to draw you a picture? I want you to take over as interim ceo of titan.

Will: Are the doctors saying he’ll make a full recovery?

Justin: All they’re saying is that he’s holding his own, but that he’s not out of the woods.

Will: What does that mean?

Justin: They’re hopeful, but they’re monitoring his condition very closely.

Will: Okay. I mean, ’cause I can’t lose him.

Justin: I know. Sonny doesn’t want to lose you either. He’s not going to leave us now. He’ll pull through.

Will: Yeah, he has to.

[Monitor beeping]

[Elevator bell dings]

Stephanie: Chad. Here.

Chad: What’s in here?

Stephanie: A bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. Have breakfast then go home and get some sleep.

Chad: I already told you. I’m not leaving sonny.

Stephanie: Sonny’s got his husband and his dad with him. You’re gonna need to spell him in a few hours, and you can’t do that if you’re exhausted.

Chad: The person that killed my wife and almost killed my best friend is on the loose, and you want me to go home and sleep?

[Cell phone beeps]

Sloan: The 911 log says that it was leo who called in for the ambulance.

Rafe: ‘Cause chad told him to.

Sloan: Already had to drop the charges against leo for abigail dimera. It sounds to me like you’re gonna have to do the same thing here. Your case is entirely circumstantial.

Rafe: Mm-hmm. Do you know actually, there is one piece of evidence that I haven’t told you about yet. You see, leo made a list of all the people that he was out to get.

Stephanie: How do you know that?

Rafe: We found this at the crime scene. Two names crossed off. Abigail and sonny.

Stephanie: More circumstantial evidence.

Rafe: I am not charging leo– yet, but I sure as hell am gonna talk to him and I am pretty sure you know where he’s at. So either you help me bring him in, or I’m gonna charge you as an accessory.

Stephanie: You can’t do that.

Rafe: Watch me.

Migraine attacks?

Victor: Well?

Alex: Why are they going after titan? My brother didn’t ask to get himself stabbed. This is just clickbait.

Victor: This is not a tabloid, alex.

Alex: No, I understand that. I get it. It’s a respectable publication. They’re threatening to lose confidence in titan.

Victor: Which I cannot have.

Alex: You want me to take over?

Victor: And I want stephanie johnson working full-time to get this pr crisis in control.

Alex: And you’re sure you want me working with stephanie? Wasn’t it just the other day, you told me that if it were up to you, you wouldn’t have steve johnson’s daughter wipe the floors at titan.

Victor: Yes, and I meant it, but sonny hired her and I think it’s about time she started to earn her keep.

Stephanie: Oh.

Chad: How is he? Did he know you were there?

Justin: I don’t know. Will’s with him now. He’s probably the best medicine for him.

Stephanie: [Sighs] Will looked scared to death.

Justin: We all are. Look, I’m gonna be in the chapel if anybody’s looking for me.

[Soft dramatic music]

Chad: I’m gonna go check on will.

Stephanie: Sure. I’ll wait for you here.

[Cell phone ringing]

[Cell phone beeps] This is stephanie.

Alex: Hey, it’s alex. I need to see you right away. Kiriakis study. Be there in ten.

Stephanie: But I’m–

Alex: But nothing.

[Cell phone beeps]

Stephanie: [Sighs]

Jennifer: Sorry about that. They had to have an okay on a big ad buy.

Maggie: I accidentally knocked this over.

Jennifer: Oh. I should’ve latched it.

Maggie: When I was picking up what I spilled, I– I found this.

Jennifer: Oh. Oh, those are doug’s pain meds. Julie asked me to fill it.

Maggie: Doug’s in pain?

Jennifer: That old racquetball injury.

Maggie: But doug hasn’t been playing racquetball in a long time.

Jennifer: Maybe it was something else.

Maggie: Hmm.

Jennifer: Maybe he had a fall and julie doesn’t want anybody to know about it. You know how proud they both are.

Maggie: Jennifer. You know you can tell me the truth.

Leo: Someone hates me enough to frame me for a murder and an almost murder, and I can’t figure out who it is. The people who hate me most are the same people who love sonny and abigail. It doesn’t make any sense.

[Cell phone ringing]

[Cell phone beeps] Hey, girl.

Sloan: Where are you, leo?

Leo: Look, this has been real and all, but your services are no longer needed.

Sloan: And what does that mean?

Leo: It means I’ll see you on the flip side. I’m out. Good bye.

Sloan: Wait a minute, leo. Don’t hang up. I can still help you.

Leo: And how are you gonna do that? Someone is trying to pin not one, but two crimes on me. Are you saying you can make those charges go the way of dvds and spiral perms?

Sloan: I want you to tell me exactly what happened in sonny kiriakis’ office.

Leo: What difference does it make? The cops already think I did it, so does chad.

Sloan: Did anyone see you do it?

Leo: No, because I didn’t!

Sloan: Then I can still help you.

Leo: Sonny had already been stabbed when I got back to his office. I’m the one who found him. You tell that to the cops and see how fast they change their opinion about me. I’ll wait. On second thought, I won’T.

Sloan: I believe you, leo.

Leo: You do?

Sloan: Yes. I know you didn’t murder abigail dimera and I know you’re too smart to try to kill sonny kiriakis. Someone is trying to set you up, and I want a chance to prove it. Just tell me where you’re at and I’ll come to you.

Leo: Sorry, girlfriend, it’s too late for that.

Sloan: I know it looks bad right now, but trust me. It will look even worse if you try to run. Leo. Are you still there? Leo, listen to me. I’m on your side.

[Sighs]

[Monitor beeping]

Will: [Sighs] Ari made it very clear to me that she’s not happy I was in la for so long. I’m really sorry I wasn’t here. Oh, gabi’s taking ari shopping today and I have a feeling that…

[Sighs] Ari’s gonna be the only elementary school student in designer clothes. And this is when you would say, “will, gabi is ari’s mother and she’s gonna spoil her every once in a while.” And that’s why I need you to wake up. To remind me not to sweat the small stuff.

Chad: And it’s all small stuff.

Will: [Chuckles] How long have you been here?

Chad: Long enough to know that gabi and ari are about to do some damage at the mall. Does arianna know?

Will: No. Gabi wanted to keep it from her until, you know, sonny gets better and I don’t know. I didn’t know what to do, so I just went along with it.

Chad: Well, it’s in the news.

Will: Yeah. Fortunately, ari’s not big on “the spectator.” Gabi’s gonna keep her off social media.

Chad: Okay. Well, I–I just wanted to get a look at him. I’ll leave you guys alone.

Will: Chad. Don’t go yet. Time. It’s life’s most precious commodity,

[Monitor beeping]

Chad: What’s up?

Will: [Sighs] I… I just can’t stop thinking that this is my fault.

Chad: Why?

Will: Sonny was obsessed with breaking up leo and chloe’s dad. And I had, you know, I had a lot of opportunities to get him to back off and I–

Chad: Wouldn’t have worked.

[Sighs] I’ve known sonny for almost as long as you have, and there was no way that he was gonna stand back and let leo scam craig the way he scammed you two.

Will: Yeah, I guess.

Chad: Face it. It’s just the guy you married.

Will: Yes, it is. And I love that guy so much.

[Dramatic music]

Stephanie: I was at the hospital. I haven’t even gotten a chance to see sonny yet. This had damned well better be important.

Victor: How’s sonny doing?

Stephanie: The doctors told justin he’s not out of the woods yet, but he’s stable.

Alex: Well, that’s great. That’s really great.

Stephanie: Will got there right before I left.

Victor: Managed to tear himself away from the city of angels, did he?

Alex: Come on, uncle vic.

Stephanie: So what am i doing here?

Victor: The doctors can take care of sonny. You two can see to it that he doesn’t come back to a company that’s tanked in his absence.

Stephanie: What’s the problem?

Alex: He’s talking about this.

Stephanie: [Gasps] Wow. They didn’t waste any time.

Victor: Wow? That’s all you have to say? You’re being paid a great deal of money to see to this sort of thing.

Stephanie: And I will.

Victor: But not alone. I want a kiriakis to supervise.

Stephanie: Which kiriakis?

Victor: Alex. I want you to put your heads together and work nonstop to salvage the reputation of my company. Is that clear? Is there something going on here that I’m not aware of? Some problem?

Stephanie: No. No problem at all. Alex and I are on it, right?

Alex: You bet.

Victor: Then why are you standing here? Get over to headquarters and get busy.

Maggie: How many of these have you taken?

Jennifer: [Sighs] None. I swear. They give doug 30 at a time. Count them.

Maggie: No, I don’t have to. I believe you.

Jennifer: I was thinking about taking them. I’m glad you didn’t see me going through doug and julie’s medicine cabinet trying to find the empty one. I had to lie through my teeth to get the pharmacist to refill it.

Maggie: How long have you been struggling with this?

Jennifer: God. Honestly, I… ever since I lost my mom.

Maggie: Oh, jennifer. And why didn’t you come and talk to me?

Jennifer: I don’t know. I guess I thought I was handling it. Then all of this happened with abigail.

Maggie: And you ran out of coping skills. Oh, sweetheart, I am so sorry that you’ve been struggling with this. I should have figured out that something was wrong.

Jennifer: I’ve been white-knuckling it, trying to hide the fact that I can barely make it through the day.

[Sniffles] Jack doesn’t have a clue.

[Chuckles]

Maggie: Jack isn’t an addict in recovery. I am, and I should’ve seen the signs. So how long has it been since you’ve gone to a meeting?

Jennifer: Oh, too long.

[Chuckles] I thought about it though. Just the thought though of… having to go and talk about abigail and admit that it made me want to use, just made me feel like such a failure.

Maggie: [Sighs] That’s the disease talking. It makes us feel bad about ourselves for needing help. I’ve been there before. You know you’ve found strength in admitting that you have a weakness.

Jennifer: Well, knowing and believing are clearly two different things.

Maggie: Mm. You were honest with me. That’s the first step.

Jennifer: Well…

Maggie: You know, there’s a meeting at the hospital every day at noon, and if we leave right now, we can just about make it. So what are you gonna do with those?

Jennifer: [Sniffles] Oh.

[Sighs]

Maggie: Second thoughts?

Jennifer: Yeah. But I know this is the right thing to do.

Maggie: Oh, I’m so proud of you.

Jennifer: [Sighs]

Maggie: Okay. Okay, let’s get to that meeting.

Jennifer: Okay.

Maggie: Okay.

Jennifer: [Chuckles]

Sloan: Leo, just tell me where you are. You need somebody by your side– somebody you can trust. Isn’t that why you hired me?

Leo: Chad walked in on me looking at sonny with a knife in his back. I am in major trouble here, sloan, and no offense, but johnnie cochran you are not.

Sloan: You haven’t given me a chance. Just tell me where you are. I’ll be right there. We’re gonna figure this out together.

Leo: Oh. I guess I don’t have a choice. I’m at the white dove motel, room 201. I’ll be under the bed.

Sloan: I’m on my way.

[Cell phone beeps]

Rafe: Well, hold on. Not so fast. Where is he?

Sloan: You want leo stark, well, then you’ll have to give me something that I want. My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis…

Rafe: I’m not bartering with you. We already have a deal in place. You got the information and now, I handle this.

Sloan: I’d never make that deal.

Rafe: What are you trying to pull?

Sloan: Nothing. When I see leo, I’ll recommend that we come in here and he give you a statement.

Rafe: Oh, and I’m supposed to just believe that?

Sloan: I’m not gonna sell out my client.

Rafe: Your client may have already committed one murder and attempted another.

Sloan: “May have” being the operative words. As far as I know, you’re still innocent in this country until proven guilty.

Rafe: You know, I already have enough to bring leo in on suspicion of attempted murder and you damn well know it. Now, you either tell me where he is or you’re gonna spend the night in a holding cell.

Sloan: Okay, but I’m coming with you.

Rafe: Forget it.

Sloan: No, mr. Stark has the right to have his attorney present while you question him and you damned well know that.

Rafe: All right. All right.

Sloan: But if we show up in a squad car, leo’s gonna be gone like the wind.

Rafe: Fine. We’ll take yours. But I’ll drive.

Sloan: [Scoffs]

[Dramatic music]

Leo: [Sighs] Oh, you better make it fast, sloanikins. A sister doesn’t have all day. Announcer: Type 2 diabetes?

Maggie: Hi, darling.

Victor: Oh, good. You’re back.

Maggie: [Sighs] Is there any news on sonny?

Victor: Well, he’s stable, but they have to keep him in the icu. Will’s with him now.

Maggie: So there’s hope. Oh, that’s wonderful, honey.

Victor: Where have you been?

Maggie: Oh, I’m sorry I was so long. I just thought I should stop by and see how jennifer’s doing.

Victor: And?

Maggie: Well, I’m glad I went by. She’s having a really hard time.

Victor: Well, in her situation, who wouldn’t be having a hard time?

Maggie: Exactly. But I think she’s feeling a little bit better now.

Victor: You seem to have that effect on people.

[Soft dramatic music]

Jennifer: [Sighs]

Alex: I just got a text from my dad. He said sonny’s vital signs are still holding steady.

Stephanie: Oh, that’s great.

Alex: Yeah, I guess his condition really improved after will got there to be with him.

Stephanie: Mm, well, I’ll bet so. Those two have something really special going.

Alex: Yeah, they do. I hope I have what they do someday. What are you working on?

Stephanie: The press release announcing you as interim ceo.

Alex: Huh.

Stephanie: Since you’re supervising everything I do, I assume you want to read it.

Alex: Come on. Give me a break.

[Sighs] That is pretty good.

Stephanie: [Scoffs] Pretty good? I made you sound like warren buffett.

Alex: Well, I’m sorry. Why, ms. Johnson, this press release is absolutely amazing.

Stephanie: That’s more like it.

Alex: Hmm. Just like you. Amazing.

Stephanie: Watch it.

Alex: I know. Boundaries.

Stephanie: Exactly.

Alex: I do have to say though, I am quite impressed the way you made my “vast experience cultivating an atmosphere of corporate inclusivity” and my “adeptness at vertical integration” sound almost sexy.

Stephanie: [Scoffs] What can I say? I’m really good at what I do.

Alex: You are not gonna get an argument from me.

[Smacks lips, sighs]

[Knocking on door]

Sloan: Leo. Open up. It’s me. Sloan. Leo, let me in.

Rafe: Let me try.

[Banging on door] Hey, stark! We know you’re in there! Open up the damn door!

[Dramatic music]

Sloan: Oh! Do you have to act like such a neanderthal?

[Scoffs]

[Sighs]

Rafe: All right, what the hell is going on?

Sloan: I don’t know. He told me he’d be here.

Rafe: Okay, well, obviously he lied to you. You still think he’s innocent?

[ Relaxing music ]

Finn: Hey.

Steffy: Hey.

Finn: How was the meeting?

Steffy: Productive.

Finn: Hmm.

Steffy: How are things here?

Finn: Good. Amelia has the kids, they’re having a blast.

Steffy: How was today? You saw your mom, right?

Finn: Yeah, I met her at il giardino.

Steffy: I’m sure that meant a lot to her.

Finn: It means a lot to me. Never appreciated my mom more than I do now. What?

[ Steffy sighing ]

Steffy: I hope this doesn’t come off as insensitive or anything, but it is a relief. Knowing when you talk about your mom, it’s– it’s li. You don’t have to worry about sheila anymore, she’s dead.

Sheila: You don’t have to babysit me. You can go back to work, it’s not like I’m gonna–

Deacon: What, do something stupid or crazy again? Yeah, I buy that.

Sheila: I had a disguise on, nobody recognized me.

Deacon: But they could have. Finn could’ve.

Sheila: I didn’t know he was gonna be there. I just wanted to bring you your cell phone.

Deacon: Yeah, well, in doing that, you put my freedom and yours at risk in the process.

Sheila: It was a risk. But you know what? It’s one that I would take again because I got to see my handsome son’s face. The boy that I love more than anything in this world. What don’t you understand about that?

Brooke: Honey, of course thomas was on his best behavior when you were there.

Hope: Well, I’m just saying that thomas aside, you could tell how comfortable douglas was. How much fun he was having over at eric’s with his dad.

Liam: I mean, that’s obviously a good thing, but… you don’t think it changes the fact that douglas’s actual home should be here with you, me and beth, right?

Taylor: Nothing at all. Hi.

Ridge: Hey!

Thomas: Hey, douglas is over at connor’S. They are– well, connor’s got a new puppy, so they’re teaching him to play fetch.

Eric: Oh, that’s nice.

Ridge: How’s that going?

Thomas: It’s– it’s going. I mean, it’s more like the kids are playing fetch, and the dog’s just, like, rolling around, being cute.

Taylor: That makes sense.

Eric: Maybe we should get a puppy, let’s get a dog. Douglas would love that.

Ridge: No, he’s not staying–

Taylor: I would love that.

Thomas: That would be great, I love dogs. And douglas would enjoy– you know, it’s just, things are in flux at the moment, so maybe we should just wait for now.

Taylor: Yeah, that’s true. That’s true. I’m glad that you asked hope to stop by to see how everything was going here, you know. Do you think that– that she can see that douglas belongs here? With his father, who loves him, and the rest of his forrester family?

Thomas: You know, I think that I’m making some progress in convincing her of that.

Taylor: Good. This is a tough situation, you know. Especially with brooke being so hyper vigilant about everything, and–

Ridge: Okay.

Taylor: What? She’s– she’s telling hope that– that douglas only belongs there, and not with us. It makes me sad. This whole thing is turning into a logan versus forrester tug of war.

Ridge: I don’t, um– I don’t think anybody wants to see a tug of war, especially when a young man’s future’s at stake.

Taylor: Thomas and hope can make their own decisions without being influenced or pressured.

Thomas: That’s what we’re trying to do. Though, in all honesty, I can see why hope has her concerns. You know, I mean… her, and liam, and beth, they have a family together. And it’s a wonderful family that they’ve made in every sense of the word. And so to uproot douglas from that, bring him over here, I mean, yeah, obviously we have a family as well, it’s just that… there’s a lot to consider.

Eric: You’re right about that. There is. But whatever you decide, you’re welcome here.

Thomas: Thanks, granddad.

Taylor: Hold on, have you changed your mind about having douglas with you?

Thomas: Not at all. It’s just– I’m really trying to be sensitive to hope’s feelings.

Hope: Of course, I want douglas to come home, but there’s also no denying how much of a wonderful time he’s having over there.

Liam: Oh, yeah, but– but nobody’s questioning that. What we’re questioning is– is whether that means thomas should be douglas’s primary caregiver, especially given his past. I mean, for me, the answer’s no.

Brooke: I agree. No matter how much taylor claims that thomas has changed, I will always be wary of him. And you should be too, sweetheart. You can never let your guard down.

Finn: We don’t have to talk about sheila.

Steffy: We haven’t really spoken about sheila since we learned she died. I haven’t wanted to push or anything, but… if you need to talk about it. I’m sure you have some conflicting emotions about her death. You can tell me. And I will do everything I can to try to understand.

Sheila: Finn was there. Deacon, my son was there. I couldn’t believe it.

Deacon: You know what I couldn’t believe? That you had the nerve to waltz your butt into the restaurant. I mean, you– you almost gave me a heart attack.

Sheila: Yeah, but just to see him there, just to get a glimpse of his face. It was– it was like–

Deacon: Like what? Like you never put a bullet in him.

Sheila: You know, I just– I am so proud of him. I mean, any mother would be proud to have a son just like finn. I know that we’ve had our challenges, but, you know… I can sense my– my… my beautiful angel, he still loves me. I could feel it in my heart, deacon, he loves me. Hi, I’m denise.

Eric: All right. Sorry to rush off, everybody. I’m meeting donna at the club.

Taylor: Aw.

Thomas: All right. Have fun, granddad.

Eric: Okay.

Ridge: Pickleball?

Eric: Yeah, pickleball.

Ridge: It’s what the kids call it these days.

[ Door closes ] Your grandfather’s very happy that you and douglas are staying at the house.

Taylor: Yeah, he really is. I just pray that hope uses her discernment in all of this.

Thomas: I really do think that hope believes I’ve changed.

Taylor: Good. Because brooke does not share the same opinion as her daughter.

Hope: Mom, I love that you’re always looking out for me, but–

Brooke: It’s just…

[ Sighing ] You always look for the best in people, honey.

Liam: Which is one of our favorite things about you, let’s be clear. It’s just… where thomas is concerned, just because he’s been a better dad lately, doesn’t change all the horrible stuff he’s done in the past.

Hope: Okay. All right, fine. I get that. But believe me, I haven’t forgotten any of it.

Liam: All right, that’s it– well, that’s all we care about, is that– I mean, so one visit hasn’t changed your mind, right? You don’t suddenly think that– that now douglas should go live with thomas full time, right?

Steffy: I don’t wanna push. So, if you’re not ready to talk about sheila, I understand.

Finn: It’s okay. Really, I just, I– I haven’t said much about sheila since we found out what happened because I’ve been focused on… on you. On my gorgeous wife. Our amazing kids, this loving home. When I was apart from all of you, it was that love that gave me the strength to keep fighting, and get back to my family. It was that love that kept me alive. As for sheila, I mean, she said that she loved me, and maybe she did in her own warped way. But it was a selfish love, an obsessive one.

Steffy: A destructive one. Never forget the reason we almost lost you was because of sheila.

Deacon: Sheila… I know that you wanna believe that finn doesn’t hate you.

Sheila: He doesn’t hate me. He doesn’t hate anyone.

Deacon: No, of course not. Finn’s a boy scout. My point is–

Sheila: Finn has a huge heart. A huge, forgiving heart. And yes, I realize that he’s probably very angry with me right now, but– but in time, he’s not gonna look at me so harshly.

Deacon: Most people would call that wishful thinking. I mean, especially considering the fact that you almost killed him.

Sheila: What did you just say?

Deacon: Sheila, you came this close to– the guy almost bought the farm because of you. I mean, if you think that he could actually love you after that, I’m sorry. It’s delusional. Big time! (Vo) red lobster’s finer points of fun dining

Taylor: Hi.

Ridge: Hey.

Taylor: Are you doing okay?

Ridge: I’m great.

Taylor: No, you’re not.

Ridge: Why?

Taylor: God, ridge. Thomas appreciates your support so much. You know, really does. He needs it. And he knows you’re gonna stand by him. Even if it’s the last thing brooke wants.

Brooke: Douglas has made incredible progress with you and liam. And for thomas to risk that.

Hope: He doesn’t feel like he is, though. He feels like he is ready to take on that responsibility.

Liam: But– and, what? Like, you’re– you’re inclined to agree now just because that’s what thomas wants?

Hope: Well… what if it’s what douglas wants and needs?

Brooke: Did douglas say something like that?

Hope: No, no. Douglas has not asked to go live with thomas. And of course, I want douglas home here with us, but he is douglas’s father. Douglas idolizes him. And he deserves to have a healthy, loving, committed father.

Finn: Wish I could just forget that any of this ever happened and that my birth mother was the reason for it.

Steffy: We just went through a lot, you know. So much grieving. I mean, I thought you were gone because of that woman.

Finn: I’m sorry. For all of it. No, every tear that she made you shed, every moment that she stole from us. Sheila’s dead. And she’s not gonna hurt you or anyone that I love ever again.

Sheila: I know finn’s feelings for me must be very confusing.

Deacon: Oh, you think?

Sheila: Oh, would you stop? Could you just be a little more supportive?

Deacon: Supportive? Are you kidding me? I’m letting you live here! A ginormous risk to me! I don’t know what else to do to be more supportive.

Sheila: Well, okay, I want emotional support where my son is concerned. You, of all people, know the relationship that I was building with him. Was it ideal? No. I had some challenges. I mean, steffy… she was just not making it easy, okay? You know, she’s the one that pushed me to the edge, and she cost me so much. My relationship with finn, with hayes, even with taylor.

Deacon: It’s not like you and taylor were bffs.

Sheila: No, but– ugh. She at least was giving me a chance. You know, I had a shot at having a place in that family. And then everything happened in the alley. Oh, god, I just– I thank god that… that finn survived.

Deacon: Okay, uh, break time’s over. I gotta get back to work and back to the land of reality. So, if you could just stay here, don’t do anything crazy. That would be tremendous for all of us.

[ Deacon sighing ] Sheila, I’m sorry, all right? I– you exasperate me. I know how much you love finn. I do. You gotta let it go. That relationship is dead, and it’s dead because finn thinks you’re dead. Don’t ever forget that.

Sheila: I refuse to believe that I am never going to have a relationship with my son.

You never know

what opportunities

Thomas: I want what’s best

for douglas.

And, yeah, do I want him

living here in the family

home with me?

Yeah, but the ideal is that

he lives with both of us.

Unlike liam,

I’m a one woman man. Hope? Is it a bad time? You seemed kinda lost in thought.

Taylor: It’s no fun. Let’s talk about our kids, and how happy we are for them. I mean, look at thomas and douglas, they’ve– they’ve never been closer.

Ridge: That’s for sure.

Taylor: And steffy… her family’s back together again. She’s happy and smiling.

Ridge: So are her parents. Nice to see them, the whole little family. What a nice unit.

Taylor: You know, it– it meant a lot to me and the kids, when you vowed to be there for our family.

Ridge: Well, I meant what I said, doc.

Taylor: I know you did. Okay, I know that you’re brooke’S. But when you call me “doc”… it feels like you’re here with me.

Steffy: I know how much you love me, and the kids. I know how committed you are to us. But you haven’t really answered my question. Sheila was your birth mother. She brought you into this world. She did horrible things and now she’s dead. How do you really feel?

[ Finn sighing ]

Finn: I just wished sheila was different. Something I still can’t fathom is how a woman who gave me life, could come so close to taking mine. And my wife’S. You’re the mother of her grandchild. I don’t really know what to do with that, steffy, if I ever will. There’s a tiny part of me that can’t forget that if it weren’t for sheila, I never would have been born. I would never have been here with you.

Sheila: Someday, I’m gonna be holding you again, too. Because I love you, finn. Mama is always gonna love you.

Sharon: Snacks?

Faith: Check.

Nick: Grandparents?

Faith: Check.

Nick: Directions?

Faith: Check.

Sharon: Oh! Hair dryer?

Faith: Check.

Adam: What’s going on here? Okay, what kind of covert operation did I walk in on?

Faith: Big news, adam. Your kidney’s going to college today.

Adam: [ Chuckles ]

Nikki: Can you believe our granddaughter is already heading off to college?

Victor: I’m so impressed with her. And what a beautiful girl, you know? She is — she is really something. I think she will be very successful.

Nikki: I assume you’ll be continuing your chess games long distance?

Victor: Ooh, I already have made the first move via an app.

Nikki: Yes, of course you have.

Victor: Yeah. By the way, talking about moves, someone told me they saw you in town talking to a journalist from california. Talia morgan?

Nikki: [ Sighs ] Does anything happen in this town that you don’t hear about?

Victor: Sweetheart, have you ever known anything to slip by me?

Nikki: Well, truth be told, talia initially came to town to write about the impact of ashland’s death on our family.

Victor: Hmm. Sorry to hear that.

Nikki: But with a little help from me, she quickly realized that the more compelling story is diane’s return from the dead. And I was more than happy to provide as much dirt as possible for what I hope will be a beautiful hatchet job.

Victor: [ Chuckles ] I bet you were.

Phyllis: I cannot believe how much fun I’m having working with you.

Summer: It has been pretty great. I am so excited for your ideas for marchetti’s new home line.

Phyllis: Mm, so am I.

Summer: You know, there’s just one thing that’s still kind of distracting me. It’s — it’s that article that talia morgan was writing about ashland.

Phyllis: Um, you — right. What about it?

Summer: Well, I’ve been on the lookout for it, you know, in case it takes a negative spin or twists any of the facts. I want to stay on top of anything that could be detrimental to harrison in the future.

Phyllis: Oh, of course. Of course. I mean, talia — she’s an investigative journalist. I mean, she only writes about the truth. She’s not gonna do anything to an innocent little boy.

Summer: You’re probably right, but… I don’t know. I’m still just curious. Like, what else is there to say about the guy? Just feels like old news by now, right? And the article hasn’t even come out yet. Not that I’ve seen, at least. I mean, where is it?

Phyllis: She’s probably trying to, you know, get other sources, um, confirm the information she has garnered. Wait a second. You still don’t trust me, do you?

Jack: These marchetti projections look very strong. You’re doing a great job, son, setting the company up for future success.

Kyle: As much as I’d like to take the credit, summer is the driving force. I take my lead from her creative decisions. She makes it easy.

Jack: Always good to have someone you can count on. Which reminds me, I need to tell you something and I’m not sure you’re gonna be happy to hear it. Pain hits fast.

Nikki: I have got high hopes for talia’s story.

Victor: Now, what exactly do you intend to accomplish with it?

Nikki: Well, I’m hoping that the sheer humiliation of seeing her crimes in print will be enough to drive her out of town, this time for good.

Victor: Yeah. Hmm.

Nikki: What? You disapprove?

Victor: No, no, no, no. I think diane jenkins needs to be dealt with. I agree.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] I’m glad.

Victor: But I want you to move with caution, okay? Remember — diane jenkins is kyle’s mother and summer’s mother-in-law. I don’t want anything to negatively impact that young family. Beyond that, anything you can do to blow diane jenkins out of the water is alright with me, okay?

Summer: I’m sorry. I can’t deny it. I am a little bit suspicious. I can’t help it, mom. It just seems like there’s something off with this whole thing.

Phyllis: What?! Why? I’m on my best behavior with diane.

Summer: I know, and to be honest, the longer that goes on, the more worried I get. It doesn’t even seem like it’s hard for you to stay calm, which leads me to suspect that there’s something else going on underneath your polite veneer.

Phyllis: Summer, I’m doing what you wanted me to do. I’m being nice to the woman. I mean, I don’t have to go and hang out with her at happy hour. I’m just biting my tongue. It’s hard, after everything that she’s done to me, but I’m doing it for you, okay? I’m just putting on the fake smile. See? It’s, like, a piece of cake.

Summer: Mom, I’ve seen your fake smile, and this is not it. I just — you know what? Never mind. Kyle and I made a pact that we would stop babysitting our mothers and just trust you two to not destroy each other.

Phyllis: That’s a good idea. Stick to that.

Summer: Don’t get me wrong, mom. I’m the one that convinced jack to invest in marchetti, and I’m going to do everything in my power to protect its integrity.

Jack: When I implied i wouldn’t be replacing you as co-ceo, I was letting you off the hook.

Kyle: Why would you do that?

Jack: Because I didn’t want to make you feel guilty about leaving jabot because I thought this move to marchetti was a great move for you.

Kyle: Yeah, well, i appreciate you making the transition easy for me, and this opportunity to work with summer is really a great fit. And I guess I’m okay with you filling the position as long as adam’s not my replacement. No. No, dad, don’t say it.

Jack: Adam changed his mind. Look, I honestly believe he is going to be a great addition to the jabot family. Besides, it will give grandpa jack more time with harrison.

Kyle: Hey, hey, I’m all for more grandpa time, but giving adam any power here — that’s a recipe for disaster.

Jack: I understand your reservations. Adam is looking for a fresh start, and I honestly think he’s put his worst behind him.

Kyle: Yeah, I still find that extremely hard to believe. But I’ve walked away from the co-ceo position, so it’s your decision. Still, I’m keeping my eye on him.

Jack: I would expect nothing less, but do me a favor. Please try to stay optimistic.

Kyle: [ Scoffs ] I guess I’ll have to try ’cause I have so many happy things going on in my life. In fact, I’m planning a bit of a surprise, and I’d like to enlist your help.

Jack: Okay. Sounds intriguing. What’s the plan?

Kyle: Mm, a wedding of sorts.

Jack: A wedding? For whom?

Sharon: Faith is headed to the university of michigan today.

Adam: Wow. Well, congratulations, faith.

Nick: Yeah, we’re gonna drop her off and help her get settled in.

Faith: I guess I should clarify. I’m taking your kidney back to college, since it already went once with you. But it’s my big freshman year, and if it hadn’t been for your donation, I wouldn’t be able to go. You made this day possible for me, and I want to thank you again.

Nick: We all do.

Sharon: Yes, I hope you know we’ll be forever grateful.

Adam: Well, I’m sure my kidney will have a much better time with faith anyway. So, I wish you a lot of luck and success on your new adventure.

Faith: Thanks.

Adam: Could I, uh, get a cup of coffee?

Sharon: Sure.

Adam: Sharon, this is a big day for you.

Sharon: Yeah. It is. Um, it’s an even bigger day for faith, though, and I’m so excited for her starting out this new chapter of her life.

Adam: Well, I guess, uh, faith and I have something more than a kidney in common then.

Sharon: What’s that?

Adam: I am starting a new chapter, too. I’m going to work with jack at jabot.

Sharon: When did that happen?

Adam: Yesterday. But jack and I have been discussing it for a while.

Sharon: I see.

Adam: I get the feeling you’re not, uh, entirely on board with this?

Sharon: Well, it’s not my decision to make. I wish you well. I just hope that you didn’t make this move so that you can stick it to victor.

Adam: No. I made it because jack actually values my input and respects my abilities as an executive. And I value his trust. So, my dad is a non-issue, as he should be.

Sharon: Well, that’s great. I’m glad to hear that. I’m glad you’re not channeling your anger into getting back at victor.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sharon: And instead, you’ve found something positive to focus on. That’s really great. I’m sure sally will be happy, too.

Adam: Sally? Wh– why did you mention her?

Sharon: Oh, she confided in me again, and she’s worried about you.

Adam: She spoke to you again? Are these chats between the two of you becoming a regular thing?

Sharon: Oh, I… I mean, what does it even matter, right? You’re not interested in being with her anymore, so I don’t even know what difference it makes. My husband and I have never been more active.

Phyllis: Oh, thank goodness. No more babysitters. Yay!

Summer: You know, this isn’t a get out of jail free card, mom.

Phyllis: Yeah. Thank you.

Summer: Oh —

Phyllis: No.

Summer: No. Mnh. Me.

Phyllis: You don’t have to worry about me. And I know it’s not a get out of jail free card. All I want to do for you, summer, is help you realize your dream and help you create something that’s long-lasting.

Summer: I certainly hope so.

Phyllis: Well, know so. This is a great opportunity for me, as well. And diane — she’s just, you know, an annoying byproduct.

Summer: Seriously? You just can’t help yourself from taking a cheap shot at her.

Phyllis: No, I can’T. Given our history, I can’T. Understand that. All the tension between me and diane — it will die out. And given that, um, if diane self-implodes, well, you know — that might be possible, even inevitable — will I shed a tear? No chance.

Kyle: The wedding summer and I had in milan was beautiful and unforgettable.

Jack: I absolutely concur.

Kyle: But I know there was one thing summer regrets. She missed having a celebration here in genoa city. So I was wondering if you’d be okay if I planned something at the house. Dad, did I ask for too much? Do you think I’m going overboard with this idea?

Jack: No, no, no, it’s — it’s a beautiful idea. My heart just swelled with the thought. I would be honored to celebrate your marriage in the abbott home.

Kyle: Great. Thank you. Oh, uh, I haven’t told summer about this. I wanted to make sure I planned everything first.

Jack: I’m sure she will be thrilled. Listen, we can talk about this some more. I’ve got to get to a meeting.

Kyle: Yeah, sure.

Jack: You can count on me to help in any way I can. Whatever it takes to make this celebration special.

Diane: What’s this about a celebration?

Adam: Excuse me, sharon.

Sally: [ Sighs ] I’m not sure I’m up for dealing with you right now.

Adam: Will you please join me on the patio? It will just take a moment.

Sally: I’m very busy, but, um…yeah, I think I could spare a minute.

Nick: Everything okay?

Sharon: Um, yeah, fine. I was just, um… anyway, where do we stand on this list?

Faith: Everything is almost packed, shipped, or crossed off the to-dos. We should be ready to leave this afternoon right on schedule.

Adam: Faith’s going off to college. I hope sharon’s ready. But I’m happy for faith. Big turning point in her life.

Sally: Good for faith. Happy for her. But I know you didn’t call me out here to talk about the adventures of your niece. So…what’s going on?

Music (“I swear”) plays

Adam: I don’t mean to beat around the bush. I know you’re busy. How are things going at newman media?

Sally: Things are going amazingly well. Chloe and I are setting the stage for some really big moves.

Adam: Mm. Well, it sounds like you and the newmans are working well together.

Sally: Actually, I haven’t had much one-on-one time with victoria, but nick is proving to be a terrifically nurturing and supportive boss.

Adam: Hmm. I’m not surprised. I knew you would work your magic and impress them enough to seal your position there.

Sally: Of course you did. It’s the whole reason why you broke up with me, isn’t it? Are we done here?

Adam: Look — no. Please. Will you just let me say what I need to say?

Nikki: Summer will benefit from diane’s departure just as much as the rest of the abbotts and the newmans. That woman staying in town will be a disaster for everybody.

Victor: I couldn’t agree more. But you must remember that it was summer who encouraged kyle to reconnect with his mother, although she knew the risks.

Nikki: Yes, but it’s obvious she’s only tolerating diane for his sake. I mean, the woman is not the kind of mother or mother-in-law that those kids deserve — or any kind of grandmother for harrison. I just know that when diane shows her true colors, everybody will see her for the fraud that she is. And then kyle’s eyes will be opened and summer can be loving and supportive, but not at all surprised.

Victor: Yeah.

Jack: She’s all yours.

Kyle: Okay, mom.

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Kyle: I will tell you, but first, you need to understand this is a big surprise for summer. So, can I trust you to keep a secret?

Diane: Yes. My lips are sealed. I promise.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ] I’m planning a wedding celebration for my wife in her hometown, with all of her family and friends to witness.

Diane: Oh, kyle! That is so sweet and wildly romantic.

Kyle: Oh, I think summer will love the idea.

Diane: I know she will. And I want to do whatever I can to help make this the spectacular day you both deserve.

Kyle: Thanks for offering, mom.

Diane: Yeah. I am — I am just so grateful to be here with you and my grandson at such a happy and important time. I missed so many of these moments.

Kyle: Well, the good news is you’re here now.

Diane: Yeah. You know, I know this wedding you’re planning is for summer, but, in a way, it — it almost feels like it’s for me, too, since I wasn’t here the first time. I am over the moon that I get to celebrate such a wonderful milestone with you. It’s gonna be so special.

Kyle: Well, that’s the plan.

Diane: Yeah.

[ Indistinct conversation ]

Summer: Looks like we walked in on something.

Diane: Oh, just, um, another day of counting my blessings. But I really need to get back to work. Uh…nice dress, phyllis.

Phyllis: Thank you so much. It’s marchetti.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Faith: The last thing to do is say goodbye to noah. But I will be back in plenty of time to catch up with him before we leave.

Nick: Alright.

Faith: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: And there goes our baby girl. She’s all grown up, ready to take on the world.

Sharon: She’s my last one. Mariah’s married now, starting a life of her own.

Nick: And we’re very happy for her.

Sharon: Yep. And I remember when noah left. Broke my heart a little.

Nick: Yeah, me too. But we survived. And look — now he’s back.

Sharon: Yeah, you know, and faith is gonna be back soon, too. I mean, after all, the holidays are coming, and — and there’s three-day weekends. She said that she wants to work for newman when she graduates, so I would imagine she’ll move back to genoa city permanently.

Nick: Unless she wants to go work at one of our european divisions.

Sharon: No. Don’t even think that.

Nick: [ Chuckles ]

[ Cellphone pings ]

[ Groans ]

Sharon: What? Trouble?

Nick: No. It’s just my dad. He wants to see me.

Sharon: Oh. Well, why don’t you go and do that? We still have some time before we need to leave. I hope it’s nothing serious.

Nick: When it’s my dad, when is it not serious? Oh, no. What’s wrong?

Tessa: [ Sighs ] I brought in ensure max protein

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

[Sfx: Buzzing ] This is pretection

Tessa: I just — I can’t believe it. I really can’T.

Mariah: We had an awful morning.

Sharon: What happened?

Mariah: Uh, we got turned down by a private adoption attorney.

Sharon: What? Why? I mean, I knew there’d be hurdles, but not right out of the gate.

Mariah: We wanted to be open about our past. We didn’t want to hide anything.

Tessa: We thought it was better than risking things come out and potentially delaying or affecting the process.

Mariah: So much for honesty being the best policy.

Sharon: What did this attorney say?

Mariah: Uh, she didn’t feel like it would be likely that we would be chosen by a prospective birth mother when we were compared to people that didn’t have…criminal records.

Nikki: I don’t know where the time goes. Can you believe that little dominic is already a year old? On top of faith going off to college.

Victor: Yep. All these milestones puts things in perspective, doesn’t it?

Nikki: Yes, it certainly does. But something tells me that you’re talking about something more specific.

Victor: Well, I can’t help but think about adam’s place in the family.

Nikki: I’m sorry that he’s let you down yet again.

Victor: I think this time it may be different. He promised not to be revengeful, you know? I mean, he could have evidence that could cause a lot of trouble for our family, but i haven’t seen it anywhere.

Nikki: Darling, please promise me that you won’t get your hopes up again. I mean, you should be focusing on how well your other children are doing. I know that adam’s distance is breaking your heart, but it’s not your fault that he seems incapable of being a meaningful member of this family.

Victor: I still feel there’s a chance that he’ll come around.

Nikki: Maybe there’s just too many wounds, too much anger over the years.

Victor: But I’m not gonna give up on him. He’s my son.

Sally: I know you have nowhere to be, but I do, and I’m not gonna let my work slide because of you.

Adam: Actually, I have somewhere to be now, too. Jack offered me co-ceo at jabot, and, uh, I took him up on it.

Sally: When did that happen? Did you have this cushy new job lined up when you walked out on me at newman media?

Adam: Mnh. Jack offered it to me out of the blue after I quit.

Sally: Huh. How’s that going for you? Bet you’re juggling a lot with this big new job and doing everything in your power to destroy your father at the same time.

Summer: Hey, what was — what was going on earlier when my mom and I walked in? You and diane seemed almost conspiratorial.

Kyle: Nothing for you to worry about. My mom’s emotions get the better of her sometimes, that’s all. She still finds it hard to believe that she was able to get her life back after all these years. And, hey, we need to go. We’re late for the conference call with milan.

Summer: Oh. Yeah.

Phyllis: Eavesdropping a little?

Diane: [ Scoffs ] Of course not. I was just marveling at how happy our kids are.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. And I’d like them to stay that way.

Diane: I’d like nothing more.

Phyllis: So, that little moment that summer and I walked in on?

Diane: Life is full of all kinds of moments, but that one was not for public consumption.

Phyllis: Oh, that’s interesting, considering how your life has been served up for public consumption today. Oh, you haven’t seen it? We really had our hands full with our two-year-old.

Sharon: This adoption attorney’s decision is just absurd, and it’s wrong. You too aren’t criminals. Where does she get off saying something like that about you?

Tessa: It’s true. We haven’t actually broken the law in a long time.

Mariah: But our records are far from spotless. I mean, I cringe to think at all the break-ins and robberies i committed.

Sharon: But you were forced into a cult by the people who stole you from me. They should be the ones taking all the blame for that. Ian ward — he couldn’t teach anyone right from wrong.

Tessa: I mean, I’m not innocent, either. I blackmailed you, nikki, phyllis, and victoria, and i stole nikki’s gun.

Sharon: But you did all of that to protect your sister, who was in very serious danger.

Tessa: Yeah, well, that part didn’t go over well with the lawyer, either. Turns out being mixed up with a sex-trafficking operation does not make us look like the best prospective parents.

Mariah: It’s enough to have lived through all of that trauma, but now it feels like we’re being punished for it. Years later. It’s not fair.

Tessa: I was prepared for this to be a long and difficult process, but I was not prepared for the person who’s supposed to be our advocate to reject us before we even get started.

Mariah: We thought we had gone through some horrible times and we had finally put it all behind us and moved on.

Sharon: Well, you did. And you have. I’m sorry, but this is just outrageous. I hope that the two of you are not planning on giving up now.

Phyllis: Oh, I guess you haven’t seen the latest, um, posting on talia morgan’s magazine site.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Phyllis: I suppose she decided to scrap her article on ashland and do deep dive into your life.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Phyllis: Wow. Well, it’s a banner headline on her site.

Diane: Oh, and it’s what? It’s what? Just a bunch of gossip.

Phyllis: No. She’s not a gossip columnist. You know that. She’s an investigative journalist. You know — because you were fawning all over her yesterday.

Diane: Yeah, and this woman wrote about what exactly? Old news? Because I haven’t done anything wrong in years.

Phyllis: Mm. So says you.

Diane: Look, the people who matter have moved on from the past, and I don’t have the energy for those clinging to it.

Phyllis: You’ve been on your best behavior since you came into town, diane. But after reading this article, everyone will know that you are the most despicable and the most hated woman in genoa city. And that must disturb you in so many ways.

Diane: [ Sighs heavily ] “The long and winding road of diane jenkins. Back from the dead.”

Nikki: Ooh, this is too good. “Years ago, diane jenkins appeared to be the victim of a vicious murder.”

Victor: Whoa. So, your handiwork has paid off?

Nikki: Oh, you bet it has. Listen to this. “Now she has returned to the scene of the crime, alive and well and hoping to pick up where she left off.” But can she really overcome the trail of destruction she left behind?” I’ve got to give talia a call and tell her how brilliant this article is.

Victor: [ Laughs ]

[ Door closes ]

Nick: Hey, dad.

Victor: Hi, son.

Nick: Uh, I’m guessing your summons has to do with faith leaving today. Did you forget to give her a gift or something?

Victor: No. It has to do with my concern about sally spectra. How do you think she’s doing at newman media?

Nick: So far, she’s lived up to our expectations.

Victor: Really? But not to mine. I’d asked her to try to convince adam to stay with the company, and she was not able to do that. So, as far as I’m concerned, she’s not up to her task.

Adam: I don’t want to talk about my father. I am worried about you right now.

Sally: Well, you certainly don’t need to be.

Adam: Not according to chloe.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] What did she say to you?

Adam: She — she was simply acting out of concern for her friend and boss. But she accused me of trying to mess with your head, which was never my intention.

Sally: Well, for your information, my head is perfectly fine. Completely un-messed with.

Adam: I certainly want to believe that. And chloe was very adamant that I need to make it clear that there is no future for us as a couple.

Sally: [ Sighs ] I cannot believe that chloe’s actually getting involved in my personal life. So, is that the reason why you brought me out here — to follow through with chloe’s request? You want to give me more reasons why you don’t want to be with me? Is there really anything that you could say that could hurt me more than you already have?

Adam: No, sally. Okay? You’ve got it all wrong.

Sally: Then what?

Adam: I want to say that I’m sorry. Your heart is at the heart of everything you do.

Sharon: That adoption attorney better not have discouraged you in any way, okay? We’ll find another one. We’ll find a better one, one that can see that you two have gotten your lives together in spectacular fashion.

Mariah: You’re more than biased, okay? You’re my mom, for god’s sake.

Tessa: And mine, too, pretty much.

Sharon: Which puts me in the perfect position to know that both of you will be great parents.

Mariah: Thank you, mom.

Sharon: And neither one of you are quitters. You know, it takes faith most of all, but it also takes strength and stamina to be a parent. And I can testify that you both have that and a lot more. A mom is someone who speaks up for someone else who just had surgery and can’t talk for themselves. A mom is someone who knows that their loved one is going through something, even if they’re miles and miles away. Your past is not gonna make you worse parents. It’s going to make you better because you learned from it. And you’ll know how to keep your own children away from falling into those same traps. You just watch. Your kids are gonna be the greatest gift in your life. And they’ll also be your greatest heartaches sometimes, too, unfortunately. But you will be their rocks. You’ll be there with them every step of the way, until one day they’ve grown up and they go out into the world on their own. But you won’t worry about that because you’ll know that you have prepared them for it. And you’ll still be there with them, coaching them through all of life’s journeys, all the highs and lows… because that is what a good mother does. Come here.

Mariah: [ Sighs, sniffles ]

Phyllis: I knew you wouldn’t be able to resist.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Phyllis: Juicy, isn’t it? And I forgot to tell you — apparently, it’s not just this article. This is the first of a series of articles on you.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Wait till everybody gets a load of this.

Jack: [ Breathes deeply ]

Nick: Come on, dad. You didn’t honestly believe sally was gonna talk adam into doing something he was determined not to, right? I mean, that was never gonna happen. Adam is nothing if not stubborn.

Victor: Your brother always had a chip on his shoulder when it came to doing a favor for his family, you know? But I still think sally specter should have been able to convince him to stay with newman media.

Nick: Adam didn’t just walk away from newman media and the family. He also walked away from sally. I get the impression she was very hurt by the way he did it, even though he claims to have done it for her. She just wants to put the whole situation in her rearview mirror.

Victor: Do you really think sally spectra is able to run a company?

Nick: I know you don’t want to hear this, but she’s done everything we’ve asked of her, and she’s done a great job. And I actually think she’s gonna do an even better job and excel once she gets adam out of her system.

Victor: Yeah, but, see, that’s the point, son. Again, personal feelings — what does that have to do with running a company? Nothing. I don’t think she’s capable of it. Besides that, do you remember that she convinced summer to move to milan, thereby endangering the relationship with kyle? I don’t trust that woman. I think you should fire her.

Sally: So, what exactly are you sorry for? Because I have a long list of your offenses that are apology-worthy.

Adam: And I apologize for every single one of them, sally, okay? I was a cruel jerk. And I feel terrible for lying to you. And I should have trusted that you and I — we could have decided together how to handle the situation. Instead, I didn’t let you weigh in at all.

Sally: Yeah, that wasn’t fair to me.

Adam: I know. But all I could think about was protecting you and your position at newman media. I mean, the last thing that i wanted is for my family’s distrust of me to impact your opportunity to shine in your role. And you have. You have. You have proven yourself worthy, despite all the doubts that they have had about you.

Sally: Yeah. Apparently, they had more faith in me than you did.

Adam: I didn’t want you to be collateral damage in this war that I was gonna re-launch with my family. But now…there is no war. And I just — I should’ve believed that you and I, as a team, could figure out a way to keep you out of it. You know, I guess I just — I have been burned too many times, and I have made mistakes in my past that I never wanted to make again.

Sally: Like with chelsea.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Okay, sally, you and I — we were always better working together. And I should have trusted in that, should have trusted in us. And I know you have every reason to think this is just more bull from me. But you know me. You see right through my lies, and you have been right about me this whole time. So, can’t you tell this is sincere? This apology is coming from my heart. Is there any way that you can forgive me?

Next week on “the young and the restless”…

Lily: Chelsea.

Billy: “Oh,” as in that’s not a big deal, or “oh,” as in you’re not happy that I spend any time with her?

Lauren: We’re having a problem with the direction of the shoot. And if I’m to be honest, it’s with tessa.

Adam: Just thought you might want to know that I’ve taken a job at jabot as jack’s co-ceo.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

thank you for getting me away from the house. Things are crazy. It’s swarming with cops and people cleaning up from the picnic. Yeah, I can’t believe someone stabbed ava at a crowded event. Well, the good news is she’s out of surgery and in stable condition. I’m sure the pcpd will figure out what happened. I sure hope so. Anyway, can we, um, change the subject? Absolutely. Hey, can I just say how happy I am that we both finally got out of our way and we’re doing this? We’re going on a date. Yeah. We’re gonna at least give it the old college try. Oh. We can do much, much better than that. Excuse me, miss. Is, uh — is this seat taken? Well, I was saving it for someone. Huh. But he’s like 15 minutes late. Is he? Damn. Uh… maybe I can be a seat-filler for a little bit? You know? What’s with this dude? He’s late? W-who does that? That’s so rude, isn’t it? No, I wouldn’t say that. He probably has a good reason. Mm. I mean, he is — he’s a cop. Oh. Yeah. A detective. Ooh. Mm-hmm. So what are you saying? That he puts his work ahead of his personal life? No. [ Chuckles ] No, no. I’m not saying that at all. He’s just really dedicated to his job. Here you go. Oh, thanks. I’m sorry. I-I feel like I should be waiting on you, considering everything you’ve just been through. Sure you’re okay? I am now. I mean, when I first saw ava, I think I just froze. There was so much blood. But then she opened her eyes, and I went to grab my phone to dial 911, obviously, but I had left it inside. And I knew that I had to get help, but, cam, she was so scared. She wouldn’t let me leave her. I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Eventually, I-I found a towel, you know, something to apply pressure to the wound. By that time, ava had passed out, and I didn’t know whether I should run and get more help or stay and keep applying the pressure. And that’s when dex showed up. Just checking in, boss. I’m not gonna need you for the rest of the night.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Are you sure? I know selina wu has a shipment coming in. I can go down to the docks, make sure everything goes smoothly. You want to help that bad? Yeah. I’ve said it before. I’m determined to prove to you that you can count on me. Okay, then. I won’t let you down. Okay. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Uh… yeah? There’s something else I need you to do for me.

[ Door closes ] God. I feel like crap. Maybe a shower.

[ Groans ] Maybe a nap.

[ Exhales deeply ] Terry: Willow? Are you alright? Yeah. I’m fine. It’s just the end of my shift. I’m just a little tired. Nurse tait, my office. Now.

[ Monitor beeping, door opens ] Nina: Hey. Hi.

[ Wheels roll ] Oh. Hm. Are you in much pain? You know, at the — at the moment, I can’t feel much of anything. Which is probably good, right? I’m looking forward to the painkillers wearing off. Oh, w-was avery here? Yes, avery was here. Sonny brought her by earlier. She needed to see for herself that her mommy was alright. Oh, good. That’s good. Listen, I figured you’d want some company, but if you’d rather sleep, I’ll just go. Mnh. Mnh. Stay. It’s better not to be alone. Yeah. Speaking of being alone… why are you alone? Where’s your husband? I told nikolas to stay away. Well, when I saw him earlier, he seemed pretty worried about you.

[ Chuckles ] I bet he did. Ava, why don’t you want to see nikolas? He hurt me. He betrayed me. In the worst possible way.

Dex was there? Sonny’s guy? Yeah. He helped me save ava’s life. I mean, he really knew what he was doing. I’m sure he did. I’m sure he’s dealt with many stab wounds, considering his line of work. Dex was a soldier. He served in afghanistan. Didn’t know that. All i do know about him is that you saw him pressuring one of the jurors in trina’s trial. Right, yeah, and I still think that he’s an idiot to work for sonny. All I’m saying is that he has a few redeeming qualities. I mean, when he found me and ava, he didn’t panic. He knew that we had to get to the hospital right away. If we had waited for that ambulance, ava would be dead. So, yes, I helped, but dex saved her life. Yeah, I can’t help to wonder, where was spencer during all this? I-I don’t know, but are you implying that you think he could be the one who attacked ava? No. No, no, no. Of course not. I — spencer did stalk ava, but I would never think he’s capable of that kind of violence. I — I mean, if esme were still in town, maybe she could be the one, but… I-I only ask because ava is spencer’s stepmom. This attack affects him. I didn’t see spencer at the picnic, but apparently he got totally wasted. Spencer: Trina?! Cam! Joss! They’re not here. Neither is trina. It’s just you and me. Why did you come back? Oh, I never left. Well, not really. You don’t have to pretend. I know you missed me. The only thing that I missed was seeing the police arrest you for framing trina. I-I’m disappointed that you managed to skip town before the cops got you. Liar. Aren’t you really disappointed in yourself? That all your hard work was for nothing? At least I got you out of my life. One call to commissioner ashford, and you’re done. I’ll have you sent to prison.

[ Chuckles ] That makes you smile? Prison? Fine, spence. I’m out of your life. But I took your father and trina with me. Ava, don’t tell me that nikolas is the one that attacked you. Mnh. Well, I — I don’t know who attacked me, but I don’t think it was nikolas, no.

[ Sighs ] Then how did he hurt you? Betrayed me. In the most basic way. He cheated on you? Yes. Oh, my — I am so sorry. Such an idiot. Who was it? Not that it matters, because cheating is cheating. Oh, no, it matters, alright. Who was it? Esme. Spencer’s girlfriend, esme? Nikolas slept with his son’s girlfriend?! That’s disgusting! Mm-hmm. Nikolas claims that he… thought that our marriage was over and that he’d been… drinking heavily and that esme came on to him. So is that why she left wyndemere? You ran her out of town? Something like that. Whoo! [ Chuckles ] Sorry I’m late. You…are forgiven. Well, good. Yeah. Besides, I had plenty to keep me occupied. What do you mean? Over there. -Your former partner and blq. -Oh! The two of them cannot… wow! …Keep their hands off each other. Wow. Look at that. They finally got their act together. I think it’s in the air.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. No, a-actually, I think it’s kind of easy to get in your own way. What do you mean? Like… me totally over-thinking the whole moving-in thing. No, but you didn’t do that. You were just — you had your reasons, right? And as long as I know that you want to move forward, then rocco and I, we — we move in, uh, someday. S-someday? Yeah! It’s all good. How about tomorrow? What do you want me to do? Okay, I need you to go to the icu, stand guard by ava’s room until frank gets here. That’s it? I can do a lot more than just stand guard.

[ Chuckles ] How many times do I gotta tell you? You know what your job is? To just do what I tell you to do. Now, do you got a problem with that? Sonny! Is there an update on ava? Police have any idea who attacked her? Is there any reason why I should know that? It was a fundraiser for sick children — picnic, barbecue, and games on the quartermaine grounds — and somehow ava got stabbed in the middle of it. Michael, what are you suggesting? We both know that violence tends to follow you around. Were you involved?

Okay. We have to stay focused.We have a plan. Do you think it’s time? Oh. Uh, just about. What? I just think you’re really beautiful. Would you stop? I should’ve known you’d become a mush-ball after we got together. If you think calling me a mush-ball is an insult, it’s not.

[ Chuckles ] Because after all these months of hiding my feelings, I finally get to say things out loud.

[ Whispering ] Guess what, brook lynn.

[ Loudly ] I think you’re beautiful!

[ Chuckles ]

[ Normal voice ] And wicked smart and impossibly funny. And what you did for maxie and bailey lou… who’s got a bigger heart than brook lynn quartermaine? Which is why you deserve an epic first date. What? You don’t have anything planned?! That is a letdown. Oh, I’ve got plans. Yeah, lots and lots of plans. What the hell?! Is this how you think a manager services her client? Huh? That’s hardly professional… brookie. Thank you. I feel much better already. I don’t need to tell you. Nursing is a strenuous occupation. Spend most of the day on your feet, and it’s usually go, go, go. Oh, I know that. But I still love it. I’m proud of graduating, and I am proud of being a full-time nurse. It’s quite an accomplishment. Willow, when I found you in the hallway just now, it looked like you were about to faint.

[ Chuckles ] What nurse isn’t wiped out by the end of their shift? I can still do my job. If you decide to take a medical leave, your job will still be waiting for you. I’m not even out of my first trimester yet, and you want me to take off the rest of my pregnancy and maternity leave on top of that? I-I would be gone for almost a year. Willow, I’m not talking about your pregnancy. I’m talking about the time that you’re gonna need to beat your leukemia. Pregnant women get tired, even if they don’t have leukemia. Yes, and you’re handling both while keeping your diagnosis a secret from your partner. It is my choice! And my mind is made up. Have you considered that maybe ava was targeted because of her connection to you? You shut your mouth! Hey. Get — let me tell you something. Stop that. Stop jumping like that. Okay. Let me explain something to you, michael. Ava is avery’s mother, and that’s the only connection I have to what happened. The attack took place on the quartermaine property. So maybe… your other family should have had better security. You know, I think that the G.H. Board should reconsider their entire relationship with you. My donations have built not one but two wings to this hospital. Money can’t buy respectability. Can’T. What a shame. He has no right to speak to you that way. Okay. Just, when I tell you to do something, just do it. Go to the icu. Now. Okay? Be outside ava’s door till frank shows up. Yeah, yeah, go. Spencer: Do not talk to me

about my father! I cannot believe that you had sex with him! Mm. Are you really that surprised? I mean, I was your first, but you were hardly my first. Deep down, you had to know that you just… weren’t experienced enough for me. Okay. How do I explain this in a way you’ll understand? Um — oh! I know. That you just weren’t man enough to keep me satisfied. The thought of touching you, it physically repulsed me. Huh. It’s true. I was never your top priority. You chose your friends over me. Especially trina. Is it any wonder I turned to someone else, to a man of experience, for comfort?! You could have turned to anyone else! You could have turned to anyone else, and I wouldn’t have cared. But you chose my father. How could you? How could he?! Poor spence. Poor little rich boy. Your father chose me over you. Just like your beloved trina chose rookie rory over you. That makes you… the biggest loser. Doesn’t it? You lost your father.

And the girl. That’s because trina doesn’t know the truth. Hm! She doesn’t know that I was on her side the entire time. And if she did? What then? Do you think trina is gonna drop officer six-pack and come running after you? Keep dreaming, spence. I had to act like I didn’t believe trina to trick you into admitting that you had set her up. Mm-hmm, but I was smarter, was I not? No way would i incriminate myself. The only reason trina got exonerated was because that rat of a bartender sold me out. Your plan… it didn’t accomplish

anything. Well, I guess that’s not strictly true. You played your role so well that trina is never going to forgive you, ever. And you know that. So why haven’t you told her, spence? It’s not some noble gesture. You are far from noble. It’s because you’re scared that it won’t make a difference. Trina still won’t want you. I made sure of that. Shut up! Esme: Enjoy pentonville. I’m sure you’re gonna make a ton of friends!

[ Esme laughing ] Shut up, esme! I said shut up!

[ Esme laughing ]

[ Gasps ] Cameron: Spencer’s going to pentonville tomorrow. I don’t blame him for wanting to cut loose. Yeah, I’d probably do the same exact thing if I were in his shoes. Do you think that we should check on him? He’s at the metro court. I’m sorry. He’s spending his last day of freedom at the pool? He’s staying there. I think he got into yet another argument with his dad. I asked him how he was doing earlier, and he said he was going there to shower and get some sleep.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Hey, munchkin. Okay. Okay, okay. Slow down. Where are you? Are you sure? Okay. I’m gonna go look for it. And then I will tell you if I find it, alright? Okay. Bye. What are you off to look for? Avery’s charm bracelet. Yeah. She’s upset. Her mom gave it to her, so… she thinks she left it at G.H., So I’m gonna head over there. I have enough time before trina’s party. Sure. Yeah. Um, I think I’ll take this opportunity, then, to check on spencer. Okay. Might be my last time to say goodbye to him before he’s off to pentonville. Alright. I’ll see you at the party. Alright. Bye.

[ Door opens ] So your husband slept with his son’s girlfriend… and you found out about it and you walked away? See, that does not sound like the ava jerome that I know and love. I would expect some epic shakespearean payback. Well, believe me, I wanted to make nikolas pay. But I had to wait. Why?

[ Both grunting ]

[ Esme screams ] Where — where’d you go?

[ Stammers ] It just wasn’t the right time. That’s all. It sounds like you’re talking about something very specific, ava. What is it? Come on. What made you wait?

spencer: “Dear trina…

I want you to know the truth.

I wasn’t going to tell you.

I figured you’re better off

without me in your life.

But I need you to know.

From the moment I walked

into that interrogation room

after you had been arrested,

I knew you were innocent.

Despite what I said,

I believe in you.

I always have.” I can’t believe a dirtbag like you is lecturing about professional behavior.

[ Scoffs ] Didn’t I warn you? All brook lynn wants is to get you into bed.

[ Scoffs ] Actually, we’re dating. Didn’t you see this thing on my face? It’s a smile… because I’m happy. A manager and a client are hooking up. And you’re calling it “dating”? Oh, I’m not surprised you don’t understand the concept. You see, dating, linc, is when a woman

actually wants to spend time with you. We have a meeting on the books, chase. You’re supposed to be with me right now, not her. We have to talk about studio musicians. Yeah, we had a meeting, uh, but I’m canceling it. I don’t need 30 days to decide who my manager is gonna be. I’m ready to sign with brook lynn. What about the gig at the savoy I just got for you? I’ll still do the gig, and you’ll get your cut. What, you think I’m gonna promote somebody else’s singer? Unless you sign with me, that gig is off, man.

[ Laughing ] Stop it. Why are you laughing? I’m j– because — no, I’m not — I’m not laughing. Actually, just, you know, when I brought it up, us moving in together, you seemed hesitant at first, and now you’re all gung-ho about it, which is great. I love this change of pace. But I-I don’t know. I don’t want you to feel like we got to rush into anything. No one said anything about a rush. I was just thinking it would be really good for rocco to move in before the school year starts. Unless, of course, you… are too busy working. I will always make time for us. Andrea. Hey. I’m here to meet willow. Mm-hmm. We’re going out to dinner. Have you seen her? Yeah, I saw her earlier on the third floor, but I believe she’s in dr. Randolph’s office. Thank you. Mm-hmm. I don’t even know what I’m saying.

[ Chuckles ] Really. I just — I think it’s all the pain medication they have me on. Just — just please promise me that you won’t tell anybody about nikolas and esme, huh? It would just be so humiliating if people knew that he cheated on me with a girl young enough to be his daughter. Okay. Shh. It’s alright. I’m not gonna tell anyone. I promise you. It’s nikolas who should be ashamed of what he did to you, what he did to — to his own son. I mean, you — you didn’t do anything wrong. Mm, I’m not sure everybody would agree with you. No one’s gonna blame you for this situation. I’m not a particularly popular person. Nikolas knows this. And even after I-I knew about him cheating, he tried to convince me that we still need each other. And you know what? Part of me actually believes him. Why is he saying that you guys need each other, ava? What — what aren’t you telling me? What did you do?!

I’m waiting. Either you sign with me and keep your show at a first-class venue where I can guarantee you at least two promoters from manhattan in the audience… or you can blow it all playing kiss and tell with the sequel to “clueless.” Hey! Who you calling clueless? Would you prefer…. dazed and confused? -[ Scoffs ] -Look. I’ve made up my mind. The savoy gig would have been fun, but I’m sticking with brook lynn. You’re a fool. I would’ve made you a star. All brook lynn can do is keep your bed warm.

[ Scoffs ] Watch it. Alright, man. Enjoy your career as a wedding singer. Oh, and brush up on the village people. Folks can’t get enough of “ymca” at receptions. Well, I didn’t love the insults, but we did it. Step one is complete. Now on to step two. I feel like you are pressuring me to tell michael about my leukemia diagnosis. I’m sorry. The last thing I wanted to do was add any stress to your life. The decision to share your diagnosis or not is yours alone. But as your boss and your doctor, it’s my duty to point out to you that if the people around you don’t know that you’re ill, they’re going to expect you to maintain your busy schedule. So it’s gonna fall to you to take care of yourself. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to jump down your throat. It’s just —

[ Sighs ] I’m not lying. I basically feel fine. I just lack some energy. My goal is to keep my life as normal as possible for as long as I can. But I have leukemia. Luckily, we caught it early, but my life is no longer normal. I have to face that.

[ Knock on door ] Excuse me. Hi. Dr. Randolph. Um, I’m looking for willow. I’m in here, michael. Come in. Hey. Uh, sorry. I had the right time, right? Your shift’s over? Or — am I interrupting something? No, no, I’m — I’m glad you’re here. You need to know what I’ve decided.

[ Knock on door ] Who is it?! Cameron: It’s cam! What are you doing here? Yeah, it’s nice to see you, too. Came in to check on you. Heard you got a little drunk at the quartermaine picnic. What gives? I’m going to pentonville tomorrow. I thought I deserved a big send-off. Mm. Sure that’s it? Yeah. Yeah. Well, if that’s the case, then on your last night of freedom, what are you doing here alone and not with your family at wyndemere? Here to take over for you. Boss is inside. Oh. Dex. Frank. Hey. Um, how is ava doing? Frank just got here. I’ve been here for a while. Things have seemed pretty quiet since she woke up. Okay. No medical emergencies that I saw. What are you doing here? Avery lost her charm bracelet, and she thinks she might have left it in ava’s room or somewhere in the waiting area. Oh, I’ve been here for a while. Haven’t seen anything like that. Okay, well, I’m gonna keep looking because the bracelet is from ava, so avery’s pretty upset. You know what? The janitor came and took the trash from the waiting area not too long ago. Maybe he knows what happened to it. Uh, when I came in here, it got a little quiet. Is everything okay? Well, for starters, some lunatic stabbed me with a hook, and the cops don’t know who it was. You have any idea who attacked you? I didn’t see anything. Well, maybe she will when she recovers, right? Mm. I hope so. Is avery alright? Wasn’t too scary to see me like this? S-she’s just reassured that her mom was sleeping. And she just wants her mommy to get better. I want that, too. But until the person who did this is caught… what’s to stop them from trying to finish the job?

-keep your eyes open, frank. -I’m on it, boss. Josslyn. What are you doing here? Um, avery lost her charm bracelet, the one ava gave her. She thinks she might have left it here. Uh, I found the janitor, but I was too late. He already took the trash to the dumpster. Well, I’ll figure this out. You don’t have to wait. Well, I just appreciate you looking out for your sister. I always will. Alright. I’m sorry your little sister lost her bracelet. Oh, this isn’t over. Do you know where the dumpsters are? I-I was just so happy to get my nursing degree that I tried to do too much, so… I was talking to dr. Randolph about cutting back my hours. Well, I am completely supportive of this. I-I’ve been worried about you since you fainted. And once the baby comes, our lives are only gonna get busier. I mean, I’m just glad you’re getting your rest now while you can. I promise you… my goal is to be 100% when this is over. My uncle victor got me the room. Something about not wanting to haul my drunk ass all the way back to wyndemere. So since this is my last night of freedom, I figured I’d just spend it here. I wanted some five-star luxury before my three months in maximum security. Yeah. That makes sense. So your dad — is he, uh, at the hospital with ava? Yeah. Yeah, I assume so. You scared to go to pentonville? Of course I am. Yeah. Who wouldn’t be? My life is royally screwed up. And for nothing. Not for nothing. You were helping your friend trina. That matters. Except it turns out that it was completely pointless because I didn’t do anything to help her. It was that bartender’s testimony that got the charges dropped, so… what is important is that you were helping a friend. Yeah, maybe. You know, if you want, I can stick around, play some video games. I can be a little late to trina’s party. Did you hear? Trina’s having a party in celebration for pcu dropping the title ix charges. She’s going back to classes in the fall. That’s great. That’s great. Good for her. Uh, but you don’t got to stick around. Yeah, I’m fine. Are you sure? Yeah. Yeah, man. Get out of here. I’ll see you in a few months. A few months? Don’t you think I’m gonna come visit you, idiot? You are? Well, you’re my friend, aren’t you? Yeah, I am. How is the investigation into ava’s stabbing going? Uh, slow. I mean, whoever stabbed her took a big risk, doing it at a picnic with so many people around. Hey, maybe it wasn’t about the risk. Maybe it was a crime of passion. I knew we’d up the stakes if we got linc interested in signing you, and then you make a big deal about signing with me. It’s a good plan. Oh, I know. And it’s just gonna make linc want to sign you even more. He’s one of these guys who always wants what he can’t have. And then to step two — got to find some way to make me some kind of success as a singer. Oh, we’ll make linc want to take something else away from me, as much as he wants another moneymaker. And step three, link will buy out my contract. At a very good price, might I add. And then I’ll abandon my singing career and leave linc in the lurch. Yes. That is the final step. Then the hard part. You’ve gotta make me a star. Oh, come on. Easy-peasy.

What do you say we get out of here… mm! …Go get a pizza, and then go to my place and start packing up? Okay. Yeah? Wait, wait, wait. Wh– okay. Are you sure that rocco is gonna want to give up his backyard? You have a-a beautiful park like a block away from your penthouse. Yeah. Okay. What about him wanting to live with two kids? W– listen. They already spent so much time together at the quartermaines’. And you and I already spent so much time together. Danny, rocco, and scout, t-they’re pretty much siblings already. They are, aren’t they? Yeah. Okay. Alright. So… okay. Mm.

[ Chuckles ] It’s a go. Alright! Let’s get outta here! Yes! Dante: Oh, oh! Lookee who we have here. You know, I was gonna say you two should be enjoying each other a little bit more, but I don’t think that’s possible. Oh, are we that obvious?

[ Chuckles ] Well, only in the best way possible. -You guys have a good night. -You too. Ugh! That smell. So gross. Garbage. What were you expecting? Alright. See? It says the number 10. So, the janitor said this was trash, not medical waste. So there shouldn’t be any needles or anything. That’s what he said. Okay. W-wait a second. You’re not actually gonna climb into that, are you? I mean, it’s just a bracelet. Why don’t you just buy your sister a new one? No! Ugh. My sister is going through enough right now, alright? If there’s a chance that the bracelet’s in here, I’m gonna look for it. So are you gonna help me or what? Thanks for hearing me out. You’re an excellent nurse, willow. We want to support you any way we can.

[ Telephone rings ] Excuse me. I have to take this. This is dr. Randolph. H-hang on. Yeah. Something wrong? Do you think we could just maybe skip out on the metro court tonight and just have a nice, quiet dinner at home? I’m just a little worn out. Of course we can. Of course we can. As long as we’re together, I don’t care where we go.

[ Monitor beeping ] Ma’am. You gonna be outside my door all night? Yes, I will. And you won’t let anybody in who hasn’t been approved? No, that’s right. I have a list here on my phone. Is nikolas cassadine on that list? Yes, he is. He shouldn’t be. Take my husband’s name off. If making someone a star was that easy, wouldn’t every karaoke singer do it? I’m not talking about karaoke singers, remember? I have experience. I have contacts. And you are the total package. Every guy is gonna want to be you. Every girl is gonna have a poster of you on her wall. Anyone who hears you is gonna become an instant fan. Oh, is that all it’s gonna take? Well, you can be very charismatic. And you can be very… convincing. How are we gonna get me in front of a crowd?

[ Footsteps approach ] Oh, I have an idea. Trust me. So, uh, nina. I know I interrupted something between you and ava ’cause when I walked in the room, it was tense. Sonny, you don’t — you don’t need to know about this. It’s just a– it’s just ava’s been through a lot and she’s emotional right now. You know that’s not it. Tell me the truth. What were you and ava talking about?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Bonnie: Justin! Where are you? I thought we were ha-ha-having a late dinner.

[Laughs] What’s all this?

Justin: A picnic. I started to set it up on the patio, but I nearly got eaten alive by mosquitos. So I hope this is okay.

Bonnie: Aw, honey, it’s perfect.

Justin: Here you go. To my beautiful wife.

Bonnie: To my thoughtful husband. And here I thought we were gonna have takeout from buddy’s burger barn. And you went and dialed up that romance, cowboy.

Justin: I’ll admit that I may have been influenced by alex. I tell you, my son really seems to know how to impress the ladies.

Stephanie: I should get going, first day on a new job tomorrow.

Alex: You could be late. I’ll write you a note.

Stephanie: [Sighs] Would you just give up? I’m not just gonna fall into your arms because you’re handsome. Maybe that works on other women, but not me.

Alex: She thinks I’m handsome. Yes! Still in the game, baby.

Chloe: What word has an a and an n, but doesn’t end in t?

[Knock on door] Oh, hey, nicole. Glad you’re here. This game drives me crazy. What word starts with an a–

Nicole: Sex.

Chloe: Uh, no, there’s no a in sex.

Nicole: No. No, chloe. Sex, that’s what they’re having. Eric and jada are sleeping together.

Rafe: Jada? Hey, thought your shift ended hours ago.

Jada: It did. I’m just taking another look at the suspects in the abigail dimera case.

Rafe: Well, we now have gwen rizczech in custody. Leo stark told us that she confessed to him.

Jada: I know, but I don’t trust that guy.

Leo: Oh, sonny? I forgot to ask, do you validate? The parking rates here–sonny? My hit list. How did this get here? And what is that on it? Blood? Oh, my god, sonny! Sonny! Sonny, can you hear me?

[Panting] He’s dead.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Nicole: So I knock on eric’s door, and jada answers– in a towel.

Chloe: Okay.

Nicole: So she gives me some song and dance about how she’s just taking a shower there because the air conditioning is broken, but what does an a/c being broken have to do–

Chloe: Okay, okay, can we just fast forward to the sex part?

Nicole: Yeah. Yeah, fine. Okay, so I tell her that I was relieved that she was just taking a shower, because when she answered eric’s door in just that towel, I was worried that maybe they slept together.

Chloe: Wait. You didn’t say that, did you?

Nicole: Yeah. Why wouldn’t I?

Chloe: Oh, my god.

Nicole: I was thrown off guard.

Chloe: Nicole, don’t you see how totally inappropriate that is?

Nicole: No, actually, I don’T.

Chloe: Telling the woman that you’re worried that she and eric had slept together? What are you, her mother?

Nicole: Can we drop the sarcasm, please?

Chloe: I just can’t believe you said that to a woman that you hardly know. Whoever she sleeps with, that’s none of your concern.

Nicole: Well, it is my concern who she sleeps with if I care about that person. A person who has been a good friend and I have a long history with.

Chloe: Okay, I don’t care if you’ve known eric since forever. This is a private matter between two people who are or are not having sex.

Nicole: Well, you didn’t let me finish.

Chloe: There’s more?

Nicole: Yeah, there’s more. She proceeds to tell me that they did sleep together.

Chloe: Probably ’cause you put her on the spot.

Nicole: You’re missing the point.

Chloe: The point being?

Nicole: That she and eric had sex.

Chloe: Well, good for them.

Nicole: That’s it? That’s all you’re gonna say?

Chloe: What do you want me to say? I’m so glad that jada confided in you, and you now finally know what eric’s and her relationship is, so that you can continue to obsess even more than you’ve been obsessing over this. I’m so happy for you.

Nicole: I am not obsessing. Why are you acting like I’m some kind of head case, and like I’m getting on your last nerve? This is important to me, chloe.

Chloe: I know it’s important. That’s why I’m worried about you. That you’re so freaked out that eric is with someone who isn’t you. And frankly, I don’t know how you’re not embarrassed that you interrogated that woman about her sex life. I’m a little embarrassed just hearing about it.

Nicole: Oh. Wow. Okay, well, forget I brought it up then. I’ll be on my way.

Chloe: Oh, for god’s sakes, don’t leave.

Nicole: Well, I don’t want to embarrass you, so I should go.

Chloe: Oh, fine, I am over my embarrassment. I just have a couple questions. What if eric and jada did have sex?

Nicole: What do you mean “what if” they had sex?

Chloe: What I mean is you should be reacting the same way I am, which is I could care less if they did. You should care less because, like I keep reminding you, you are a married woman.

Nicole: [Scoffs]

Rafe: Well, you are right not to trust leo. The guy would do just about anything to keep himself out of trouble.

Jada: Like point the finger at his best friend.

Rafe: Yeah. I mean, he turned on gwen last time when he gave us the mask. I’m sure that he thought that was gonna be enough to get himself off the hook.

Jada: But trask decided to just charge them both with murder.

Rafe: And suddenly, leo swears that gwen told him that she murdered abigail. Seems a little convenient, wouldn’t you say?

Jada: Yeah, I would. So you agree that you think leo’s making up this confession?

Rafe: Well, it’s certainly possible.

Jada: So then that would mean that gwen could be innocent.

Rafe: Well, I took gwen’s statement myself, and my gut tells me that she was telling the truth, that when she left abigail’s room, abigail was still alive.

Jada: Gwen said she threatened her sister with a syringe, not a knife?

Rafe: That’s right.

Jada: So we know abigail was stabbed to death. And if gwen is telling the truth, then what happened to this knife?

Rafe: That’s a good question.

Leo: Oh, sonny.

Sonny: [Groans]

Leo: [Gasps] You’re alive. Oh, thank god. Now what do I do? I’m gonna help you, that’s what I’m gonna do. Oh, ooh, I can’t, ’cause then they’re gonna think I did it. Ah. Ugh. But if I leave you here, you’re gonna bleed to death. Oh, there’s gotta be something. Um…I know. I’m gonna call an ambulance. Okay. Okay.

Chad: Leo? What the hell did you do?

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis persists…

Justin: You know, I was thinking…

Bonnie: Mm-hmm?

Justin: That maybe we should take this little party out to the hot tub.

Bonnie: Well, I like the way you think.

Justin: Okay. I’ll go upstairs and change into my trunks.

Bonnie: Who needs trunks?

Justin: Bonnie kiriakis, are you suggesting what I think you’re suggesting?

Bonnie: Well, no one’s here. Seems like a perfect opportunity to skinny dip with your wife. What do you say, counselor? Shall we? Oh, yeah, drop ’em. Right here, right now.

Alex: Dude, cheese. Ah. Mmm. Mm.

Stephanie: I know it’s late, but any chance you’re still serving?

Eric: I’m sorry, the kitchen’s closed. Stephanie?

Stephanie: Hey, cuz.

Eric: I didn’t know you were in town.

Stephanie: I know, I just got here a few days ago.

Eric: It’s so good to see you. It’s been forever.

Stephanie: I know. It feels like I’m playing catch-up with everyone.

Eric: Yeah, well, you missed a lot of what’s going on in salem, right? Not necessarily a bad thing.

Stephanie: Yeah, so I gather. Speaking of, I was really sorry to hear that you and nicole split up.

Nicole: I know that I’m married, chloe. That hasn’t escaped me. But does that mean that I can’t be concerned about eric?

Chloe: Mm, it kind of does.

Nicole: Why? We’re good friends. And we have a long history together.

Chloe: As you keep saying. But that history, nicole, is what’s making your concern fraught.

Nicole: Fraught? Why?

Chloe: Come on, don’t you see what this is? This is dangerous territory. Honey, you are wondering about your ex-husband’s sex life?

Nicole: Well, I’m wondering because he’s in a very vulnerable place right now. I mean, he just left the priesthood.

Chloe: So what?

Nicole: So he’s not ready for anything serious.

Chloe: [Sighs] What are you, his shrink?

Nicole: Did I not already ask you to drop the sarcasm?

Chloe: Okay, what if this is not serious? What if it’s just sex?

Nicole: No, no, it’s– it’s not. It’s never just sex with someone like eric.

Chloe: Ah, here we go.

Nicole: Wh–what do you mean “here we go”? When this first came up, even you said that eric wouldn’t just jump into bed with someone. He wouldn’t do that unless feelings were involved.

Chloe: Well, maybe feelings are involved.

Nicole: That’s why I’m worried. Oh. Nice. First sarcasm and now an eyeroll? Wonderful. Thank you.

Chloe: Nicole, if you were thinking about any of this rationally, which you definitely are not, you would see that your worries and your concerns and your curiosity are wacko given that eric is a grown man, and given that you are a married woman– a newlywed, in fact.

Nicole: Do you know how annoying that is to have that constantly pointed out to me like I’m oblivious to the fact? This has nothing to do with me being married or eric being a grown man. This is about a friend who has made a huge and disorienting change in his life and is involved with a virtual stranger.

Chloe: Well, she’s clearly not a stranger to eric if he’s having sex with her.

Nicole: It’s not “if,” chloe. He is… which is why I think we should hire someone to do a background check on her.

Chloe: On jada?

Nicole: Mm-hmm.

Chloe: Okay, you have lost your mind.

Jada: Finding that murder weapon would answer a lot of questions.

Rafe: Yeah. Yeah, it would. You know, forensics thinks it was a steak knife, one that went missing from the dimera place the night that abigail was murdered.

Jada: Well, if it doesn’t get found, trask is gonna have a really tough time getting a conviction.

Rafe: Oh, yeah, well trask already thinks that she’s gonna be able to get the conviction, especially now that she’s got leo’s testimony in her pocket.

Jada: At best, his testimony is hearsay. At worst, a lie. And all the evidence surrounding gwen is all circumstantial.

Rafe: And I told trask that I believe gwen. It doesn’t matter. She’s on a warpath. She wants a conviction, like, yesterday.

Jada: Even if it’s the wrong person?

Rafe: Yeah. I hear you. And we’re not gonna get justice by rushing through this and convicting the wrong person.

Jada: Well, let’s keep digging.

Rafe: Oh, yeah, we will. It’s just, um, we have to do it carefully.

Jada: Meaning?

Rafe: Meaning we need trask to believe that we are gathering evidence to convict gwen.

Jada: Meanwhile, leo stark is out running around free doing god knows what.

Rafe: Yeah.

Chad: You killed him?

Leo: No! No! He’s still alive!

Chad: What the hell happened?

Leo: I don’t know! I walked in and found him like this.

Chad: He has a pulse.

Leo: I told you.

Chad: Hey, it’s chad, buddy. I’m here, okay? I need you to stay with me. I need you to stay with me, okay, sonny? I’m right here, buddy. I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Rafe: Okay, I think I’m gonna take off.

Jada: Okay, goodnight.

Rafe: Okay. Listen, not that I don’t appreciate your dedication, but I don’t want my newest detective burning out. So maybe you should call it a night too.

Jada: Well, I did have tentative dinner plans with eric.

Rafe: Oh, yeah. My wife said you two were dating.

Jada: Nicole.

Rafe: Yep. That’s the one.

Jada: It’s kind of weird, right?

Rafe: What?

Jada: That I’m dating your wife’s ex-husband. I mean, I don’t know, that doesn’t seem a little, like, incestuous?

Rafe: Well, in this town, you kind of get used to it.

Jada: Like underground tunnels and secret rooms. In salem, it’s all normal.

Rafe: Mm-hmm. Yeah. For better or worse, it kind of is. You know, in fact, my wife was once married to a guy–twice–who was married to a gal–twice– who I was married to once.

Jada: Okay, I have to wait for my head to stop spinning.

[Laughter] So you don’t see any potential problems here?

Rafe: You mean, as far as nicole’s concerned? Why would there be a problem?

Nicole: So you slept with eric, huh? That’s kind of fast, isn’t it?

Jada: Excuse me?

Nicole: You just got to town.

Jada: Actually, mrs. Hernandez, it’s been a couple weeks.

Nicole: Don’t you remember I asked you to call me nicole? And yes, I know it’s been a couple of weeks, but as far as I know, you and eric have only been out on one date? Unless, of course, I’m mistaken about that.

Jada: I’m sorry, nicole, but how is this any of your business?

Rafe: Nicole’s not interested in eric’s love life. Why would she be? I mean, yes, right, nicole and eric, obviously, they have a history, but– jada, what is it? There’s something you’re not telling me.

Jada: You know what, I– I think I’m gonna go ahead and call it a night.

Rafe: No, no, no, no. No. ‘Cause you looked worried there for a second. Did eric say something to you?

Jada: It’s all good, boss. Enjoy your evening.

Chloe: Wait, so you want to do a background check on the woman that your ex-husband is dating?

Nicole: Why is that so weird? Like I said, nobody knows anything about jada.

Chloe: We know plenty. Her dad was a respected doctor here in salem. He’s one of steve johnson’s oldest friends.

Nicole: But what about her? Who knows what she could be hiding?

Chloe: Oh, my goodness, do you even hear yourself?

Nicole: Think about it, chloe. How many people have showed up in this town over the years and lied about who they really are and had this dark side that they didn’t want anyone to know about?

Chloe: Ooh. Well, I’m pretty sure that, you know, your husband, the police commissioner, who hired jada–I’m guessing that he probably did a background check to make sure she doesn’t have a secret past of being a serial killer. Come on.

Nicole: I’m not saying she’s a serial killer, okay? I’m just saying that–

Chloe: What? What? What are you saying?

Nicole: I don’t know, okay? I don’t–I don’t know! I don’t know.

Stephanie: I really am sorry it didn’t work out with you and nicole. Must be very painful.

Eric: It was rough at first, you know? But we’ve moved on. I mean, she’s with rafe now. And, you know, I’m dating.

Stephanie: Glad to hear that. And it’s going well?

Eric: It is. You know. What about you? Anyone special?

Stephanie: There was someone last summer, but as soon as september came, he totally ghosted me.

Eric: I’m sorry. But that was a year ago. Maybe it’s time for you to get back out there.

Stephanie: I don’t know. I’ve been mostly focused on work right now. Besides, the only guy who’s shown any real interest in me lately is a total jackass.

Alex: Dad, I’m telling you, stephanie is incredible. She’s like this goddess, yet she’s down-to-earth. And she’s–she’s– she’s cool, and she’s funny, and she’s smart. She’s everything I’ve ever looked for in a woman. I’m telling you, she is the one. I know it.

Justin: Really? I’m a little surprised to hear you say that. I don’t think you’ve ever talked like that about anyone.

Alex: Well, that’s because I’ve never met anybody like stephanie before. Just one problem.

Justin: What’s that?

Alex: Sonny won’t let me anywhere near her.

Bonnie: I thought he bats for the other team.

Alex: No, it’s this work thing. He hired stephanie to do pr for titan, so he’s insisting that I keep it strictly business. So here I am, completely in love, head over heels with this girl, and he’s telling me to back off. Talk about a killjoy.

Chad: What are you doing just standing there? Call an ambulance!

Leo: All right, sorry. I need an ambulance to titan headquarters! Sonny kiriakis was stabbed.

Chad: 12th floor, executive suite. The security will direct them.

Leo: Did you get that? Okay, thank you. They’re on their way. Is he gonna be okay?

Chad: You better hope so. ‘Cause if he dies, you die. -Hi, dr. Rick. It’s julie. -[ Gasps ] That’s me.

Chad: That’s it, sonny, all right, I just need you to hold on, okay? Where is that ambulance?

Leo: It’s on the way.

Chad: Did you really even call one?

Leo: What?

Chad: Well, this is what you wanted, right? Sonny bleeding out on the floor?

Leo: No! No! Chad, I didn’t do this. I showed up and he was like this. I–I came here to apologize!

Chad: Liar! After you lost craig, you made it very clear that you wanted revenge. Gwen told us you were gonna pick us off one by one. Well, you’ve done it.

Leo: No! No! No!

Chad: You killed abby. You stabbed sonny. You are gonna spend the rest of your life in a cage. Better yet, you’ll get the needle and go straight to hell! Where is the ambulance?

Leo: I’m gonna go check!

[Suspenseful music]

Justin: Sonny is being a smart ceo. It’s his job to protect titan.

Alex: And to support his big bro. Shouldn’t he want to see me with the woman of my dreams?

Justin: I’m sure he does. But you weren’t around when leo stark served sonny with a bogus sexual harassment lawsuit.

Alex: I heard all about that.

Justin: Yeah, well, sonny was innocent, obviously, and ultimately cleared, but the experience was devastating. So your brother just wants to keep you from going through the same hell that he did.

Alex: Dad, you really think stephanie would sue me?

Justin: I’d rather not find out.

Alex: Come on, dad, I mean–

Justin: Look, if she didn’t work for titan, I would say woo her to her heart’s content. But as long as she’s an employee of the company, the wisest course of action is to not get involved with her.

Alex: Have I told you how much I love having a lawyer for a father?

Justin: I hope so. Because I can help save you from these landmines that will blow up your life.

Alex: Dad, but–

Justin: I know. I know. I know. I know. I know. But really, my strong advice for you is to stay clear of stephanie.

Bonnie: Okay, with all due respect, I think that’s a load of crap.

Eric: Jackass, huh? What happened?

Stephanie: It’s no big deal. Let’s just–let’s just say the guy can’t take a hint.

Eric: He didn’t–

Stephanie: No. He’s not a predator or anything like that. He’s just relentless. He asked me to drinks. He asked me to dinner. He practically asked me to marry him. But I completely blew him off. It’s so not worth talking about. I want to hear about the woman you’re dating.

Eric: [Laughs] It’s new. It’s getting to know you kind of thing, you know, so far, so good, and so– actually, she’s right there. Um, stephanie, this is detective jada hunter, and jada, this is my cousin, stephanie johnson.

Jada: Oh, nice to meet you.

Stephanie: Nice to meet you. Wait, aren’t you marcus hunter’s daughter?

Jada: That’s right.

Stephanie: Steve and kayla johnson are my parents. I was at your eighth birthday part.

Jada: Oh, my god, steph! I didn’t know you lived in salem.

Stephanie: No, I haven’t for a long time. I just moved back to town. It is so great to see you. Hopefully, we can get together soon.

Jada: I’d like that.

Stephanie: I should get going. Have a good night, you guys.

Eric: Yeah, it was good to see you.

Stephanie: You too.

Jada: Goodnight.

Stephanie: Bye.

Jada: Bye.

Eric: Such a small world, right?

Jada: Yeah.

Eric: Hey, good news, your air conditioner is fixed.

Jada: Great. Thanks.

Eric: Hey. Is everything okay?

Jada: Uh, well, we really didn’t get a chance to talk this morning, since it was obvious that you needed to have a private conversation with your ex-wife.

Chloe: Nicole, I am not trying to be hard on you. I promise. I just think that you are overreacting.

Nicole: Yeah. So you keep telling me.

Chloe: Yeah, well, it’s not really registering with you.

Nicole: Chloe, I– I told you, I’m–I’m–

Chloe: You have concerns, concerns, I know. I keep hearing that. You are concerned when eric and jada went upstairs after their first date, and you called me a few days later concerned because you can’t stop thinking about eric.

Nicole: Yeah, I had a sex dream. Excuse me if I wanted to share it with someone I trust.

Chloe: Well, I’m glad that you did, but you also felt the need to share that with eric, over my very strong objections. I mean, come on, did you even see him?

Nicole: Yes. He came up the stairs with his toolbox while I was talking to jada.

Chloe: And?

Nicole: And, you know, she went back to her room to–to get dressed.

Chloe: Then what?

Nicole: Well, then– then eric asked me what I was doing there, and I told him I had a dream about him this morning.

Chloe: Oh. Oh, no, no, no.

Nicole: All right, relax. Relax. I chickened out. I chickened out about the sex part. Okay, and I told him that, in the dream, he came over to my house to make sloppy joes.

Chloe: Oh, wow, that might be even worse. Did he buy any of that?

Nicole: I don’t know. I think he did. But then–but then, he mentioned to me that he had a dream also. And in the dream, I knocked on his door to deliver a singing telegram. Oh–oh, my god.

Chloe: What?

Nicole: Well, if I lied about my dream, what if eric lied about his? What if he had a sex dream too? My asthma felt anything but normal.

Nicole: I mean, what if eric did what I did? What if he had a sex dream and lied about it?

Chloe: Well, I guess it’s possible. But that would be a huge coincidence.

Nicole: Oh. What, a bigger coincidence than us dreaming about each other on the same morning?

Chloe: Definitely. I mean, I dream about the people in my life all the time.

Nicole: Okay, so then it’s more likely for eric to dream of me delivering him a singing telegram than me giving him–

Chloe: Okay, I see your point.

Nicole: Right? It’s not so much of a stretch. It makes sense.

Chloe: Okay, well, I guess there’s really only one way to settle this.

Nicole: Okay, what’s that?

Chloe: Uh, get your phone and call him right now.

Eric: I’m sorry about this morning. I mean, I had no idea nicole was gonna stop by.

Jada: What was she doing here anyway?

Eric: She stopped by to pick up some takeout, you know? And she was here, and so she wanted to just see how I was doing.

Jada: Right.

Eric: It was just a friendly visit.

Jada: You sure about that?

Eric: I am. But obviously, you’re not.

Jada: No, I’m not. Uh, it’S… you know what, it’s none of my business, but let’s just drop it.

Eric: No, no, no. Let’s not. Please, if there’s something you need to tell me, just say it.

Jada: You know I told nicole that you and I slept together, right? Well, she just seemed a little too interested in that fact. And, I mean, especially since she is married to someone else.

Rafe: Stephanie?

Stephanie: Rafe?

Rafe: Hi.

Stephanie: Oh, it’s great to see you.

Rafe: You too.

Stephanie: Oh, that was a very nice, appropriate hug.

Rafe: That was–uh, okay. I don’t follow.

Stephanie: I was just remembering the time that your lookalike, “fake rafe,” got a little handsy.

Rafe: Ah, yeah. Yeah, that guy. He was a real lech.

Stephanie: Sounds like someone I know.

[Sighs]

Justin: Excuse me?

Bonnie: I’m sorry, but you’re dead wrong on this one, hon.

Justin: Mm. For trying to save titan from a lawsuit?

Bonnie: Damn straight. You cannot live your life fearing what might happen, honey.

Justin: It’s not fear. It’s common sense.

Bonnie: Oh, please. People these days are so afraid to take a chance that they are losing that one chance at real love. Who cares if someone sues you for sexual harassment?

Justin: How can you say that after what happened with harrison?

Bonnie: That was a completely different situation, justin. And so is what happened to sonny. Alex is not a creep. He’s not a con. He’s a good man with a good heart. And he thinks he found the person he belongs with.

Alex: I don’t even just think it. I know it.

Bonnie: See? There you have it. And if you are lucky enough to find that one person in this world that you belong with, well, you can’t just let that person go. You gotta hang on. What if I didn’t take that chance and kiss you that day? Aren’t you glad I did?

Justin: Of course. But you and I don’t work together. Plus, there’s a big difference between taking a chance and ignoring what stephanie wants.

Bonnie: Well, obviously if it’s a no-go, alex backs off. Look, all I’m saying is, I laid it all on the line, and my reward is I got the best thing that ever happened to me. Who are we to say that your son shouldn’t do the same, hm?

Alex: Have I also told you how much I love having bonnie as a stepmother? Oh, my god.

[Cell phone ringing]

Justin: You can enlighten me after I take this call. Hey, chad. What’s up?

Chad: Justin. I’m sorry. I have bad news.

Rafe: So how long are you in town for?

[Cell phone ringing] Oh, my–I’m sorry. I–yep, I have to take this. Hernandez. What? Yeah, I’ll be right there.

Stephanie: Bad news?

Rafe: Yeah, you could say that. Your cousin, sonny, has been stabbed.

Justin: Thanks, chad. We’ll be right there.

Bonnie: Justin, you’re white as a sheet. What’s wrong?

Justin: Sonny’s been stabbed.

Bonnie: What? Oh, my god, honey!

Alex: Is he okay?

Justin: I don’t know. Chad found him in the office. The paramedics are taking him to the hospital right now.

Alex: I’m gonna grab the car.

Bonnie: Go, go, go, go, go. Oh, honey, honey, honey, honey.

Justin: Oh, my god.

Bonnie: Oh, my god.

[Indistinct radio chatter]

[Suspenseful music]

Some days, it felt like asthma was holding me back.

Nicole: I am not calling eric.

Chloe: I know. I was just saying that to make a point, namely that you need to get a grip.

Nicole: Well, thank you, chloe, for all your understanding and support.

Chloe: I’m just trying to make you see that you’re acting like a crazy person.

Nicole: You know what, maybe I–maybe I shouldn’t have come here.

Chloe: No, look, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that to you. I know that having jada in the picture has been really difficult for you. But you have to see what you’re doing. I mean, have you thought of what could happen if jada goes to rafe and tells him how overly interested you are in eric?

Nicole: That is not gonna happen.

Chloe: How do you know that? She came right out and told you that they’d slept together, so she’s clearly very direct. Nicole, I love you. You are my best friend. But I have to be honest with you. Rafe is your husband. Now, I’m not saying that you have to stay in that marriage. But you have to make a decision. You either end your marriage, or you work on it. But whatever choice you make, you have to decide. And you can’t keep obsessing about eric.

Eric: So what did nicole say?

Jada: Nothing. It was–it was just a little awkward.

Eric: Yeah, I can imagine. Listen, we were supposed to have breakfast this morning, but that didn’t happen. And I’d like to make up for that. Have you had dinner yet?

Jada: I haven’t, actually.

Eric: Well, I do have some connections, and I can whip up a grilled cheese, some fries, maybe a milkshake?

Jada: Mmm, that sounds–

[Cell phone ringing] Oh, hold that thought. Hunter. I’ll be right there. Listen, gonna have to take a raincheck on dinner. I gotta get back to work.

[Dramatic music]

Rafe: How’s sonny?

Chad: They just took him to the hospital. I should probably get there.

Rafe: I have a few questions. Promise it’ll just take a minute. Sonny was in the office when you found him?

Chad: Yeah, when I walked in, he was lying right there with a knife in his back.

Rafe: Anyone else here?

Chad: Yeah, someone standing over him.

Rafe: Who?

Chad: Leo stark.

Leo: How could this have happened again? Oh, my god, sonny! Wait. The knife. Holy–it was the same knife!

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis persists…

[Soft dramatic music]

Stephanie: I heard about sonny. Are you okay?

Chad: [Sniffles]

[Monitor beeping]

Justin: We’re here for you, son. We’re right here! And we love you so much! We love you.

[Rapid beeping] What’s happening? Someone answer me! Please! What’s happening?

Bonnie: Justin, sonny is gonna be okay. Do you hear me? Sonny is gonna be okay.

Justin: Oh, my god.

Bonnie: No. No.

Jada: What have we got?

Rafe: Well, it looks like you were right.

Jada: About what?

Rafe: About leo stark. Chad dimera found him standing here over sonny kiriakis, who had a knife in his back.

Jada: A knife?

Rafe: Yeah. And it looks like we might have found the murder weapon in the abigail dimera case.

Leo: It was the same knife. My hit list. How did this get here? And how did my list get there?

Rafe: And there’s this too.

Jada: What is it?

Rafe: Leo’s hit list. Gwen said that leo kept a list of all the people he wanted to get back at. Looks like he just checked off another one.

Leo: This doesn’t make any sense. I never crossed off sonny’s name. Oh, my god! I’m being framed!

[ Dramatic music ]

Finn: I just want to put that entire night behind me, which has been easier to do now that sheila’s no longer a threat. I assume you heard through hope that sheila, she– she died.

Deacon: Yeah.

Finn: Something wrong?

Deacon: It’s just, uh… that’s a lot to take in.

Finn: Are you– are you okay?

Deacon: I’m just, uh… sorry. I’m just trying to figure out if we’re gonna get a big rush or not, if we have enough stuff– would you mind if I handled something really quick? Do you need anything?

Finn: No, I’m okay.

Deacon: I’m gonna get you some water. I’ll get you some water.

Finn: Okay.

Deacon: Go. Now.

Sheila: [Mouthing] What?

Deacon: Now.

Brooke: Oh… I worry about her.

Liam: Me too.

Brooke: You know, hope is so optimistic, and she puts so much faith into people.

Liam: Yeah, she does. Not sure thomas deserves any of that.

Brooke: No, he doesn’T. He’s trying to prove that he does. Inviting hope over to witness his wonderful parenting style.

Liam: Yeah, I’m pretty sure that is what this little trip is all about. I’m just not convinced he’s doing any of it for the right reasons.

Brooke: Yeah, well. I guess we’ll find out. Hope’s over there right now, watching thomas in action with douglas.

Hope: I spy with my little eye… something that starts with F.

Douglas: [Whispers] Flower.

Thomas: Flowers. Flowers. Flowers. Flowers?

Hope: Yup, you got it.

Douglas: Oh yes.

Thomas: Oh, yeah.

Douglas: Okay, I spy with my little eye… something that starts with A… P.

Hope: P? Hmm. P, p, p, p, P… possibly pillows?

Douglas: Yeah! Your turn, dad.

Thomas: Okay. I spy with my little eye… something that starts with an M.

Douglas: M…

Thomas: It also starts with H. It’s beautiful. It’s kind. It’s sweet.

Douglas: Oh, mom.

Thomas: Yeah, that was a little too easy.

Douglas: I’m glad you came here. It’s really fun and I love spending more time with dad.

Liam: There was a time when I really did think that thomas had changed. It’s just the way he’s acting now makes me doubt it all over again. Should I have gone over there with her?

Brooke: I don’t think you were invited. I’m pretty sure he only asked hope to come over.

Liam: Touché. I know that hope can handle herself. I know that. But you know what thomas is capable of, right? And the fact is, hope would do anything, literally anything, for douglas. And he could– he could easily exploit that.

Brooke: Yes. Yes, he could put on a performance of a lifetime. But hope knows thomas. She knows what he’s capable of. There is no way she’s gonna let thomas convince her that douglas should live there with him.

Thomas: I’m glad you like being here, bud, it means we get to hang out more together.

Douglas: I’m having so much fun here, mom. Dad has just the best dinosaur voice.

Thomas: Oh, you mean like this one?

[ Imitating dinosaur roar ]

Douglas: Yup, okay. He even made me pancakes. Yours are better.

Thomas: What? What do you mean? No! I put bananas, and blueberries in those things, it was so good!

Hope: I am sure your dad’s are pretty good, though.

Thomas: Thank you.

Douglas: He, uh, he does tell the best stories. Great grandad too.

Thomas: Yeah. Yeah, uh, definitely doing a lot of bonding over here. He’s been getting all the forrester classics.

Hope: Nice.

Thomas: Yeah, really has been great having this guy to myself for the last few days.

Douglas: Oh, I wish I could see you every day, dad.

Customer: Thank you.

Deacon: [Indistinct] Finn, got you some water. Uh, you want a beer or something? One of the perks of the job, I can give away free booze.

[ Chuckles ]

Bill: Finn! Hey.

Finn: Bill! What’s up, man?

Bill: Doesn’t get old, the sight of you alive and well.

Finn: Grab some lunch?

Deacon: [Mouthing] Go. Go.

Bill: Yeah. That’s why I’m here. Bill spencer eats too. (Assad) since my mother

Brooke: I really do hate feeling this way about ridge’s son. I mean, thomas can be calculating and cunning, and of course, I’m going to doubt his intentions.

Liam: Yeah, but it’s not like you don’t have a reason.

Brooke: Everybody’s saying that thomas is changed. Taylor says that he’s a perfect saint, so I’m trying to look at him in a different light. Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, but it’s hard, you know, because of the past, of what’s been done.

Liam: But it’s not– it’s not just the past. I mean, I’m struggling with the way he’s acting now.

Brooke: We can’t forget about his past behavior, right? The things that he did. How he threatened hope and made her feel uncomfortable, and all of his secrets.

Liam: Yeah, he was obsessed with her. And it made him unstable around douglas.

Brooke: I feel like we’re going backwards. Worried about thomas’s influence, once again.

Liam: I think I’m just realizing that I’m never not gonna have my guard up when it comes to thomas. I mean, in a perfect world, if I had it my way, hope would just never have to interact with him at all. But, that’s impossible. Because hope and thomas are douglas’s parents.

Hope: So, how do you feel? I know school will be starting up again soon.

Thomas: Yeah, douglas, what are you most excited about?

Douglas: All my friends.

Hope: Aw, I bet you’re excited to see them, and share all the fun stuff you did this summer?

Douglas: Yeah, like me and dad, we went camping.

Hope: Camping?

Thomas: Totally. Out on the lawn. You know, we lasted, like, 45 minutes before we came inside and realized our beds were upstairs?

Hope: Oh.

Douglas: It’s super fun though.

Thomas: Yeah. Yeah. Well, we saw a shooting star.

Douglas: It’s called a meteor, dad.

Thomas: Genius, I’m telling you.

Hope: Well, I’m sure you’re going to have another terrific school year.

Thomas: Yeah, you know what? I just wanna say that we are so proud of you. You always do your best, and you make us proud, and I want you to know that if you ever need anything, like you need help with homework, right? Or if the kids are bugging you at school. Or you want to talk about girls…

Douglas: Girls?

Hope: I think he is still in that phase of liking lizards and rocket ships.

Thomas: Yeah.

Douglas: Well, thank you for letting me stay here so long, mom. It’s been awesome, and I really miss dad when we’re not spending time together, you know?

Thomas: I miss you, too, bud. I hope we get to spend more time together soon.

Douglas: I hope so.

Bill: Well, it is great to see you out and about.

Deacon: Doesn’t he look great?

Finn: Yeah, it’s pretty surreal for steffy and me both.

Bill: Yeah, I’ll bet. Sheila put you guys through hell.

Finn: Glad to put that chapter behind me. Thanks again, by the way, for all your help.

Bill: Forget it.

Finn: No, you were instrumental in reuniting steffy, the kids, and me. I mean, flying me your jet to monte carlo?

Bill: It was my pleasure. I was happy to do it. What are you doing here by yourself? You’re not hanging around with this bozo, are you? And don’t you have a dish to go scrub or something?

Deacon: Do you want a drink or not?

Bill: Yeah, I do. I want your best scotch.

Deacon: Great.

Bill: And don’t spit in it.

Deacon: Haven’t thought of that.

Finn: Um, you know, it’s, uh… my mom and I, we were having lunch here earlier.

Bill: Nice. How is li?

Finn: She’s good. She’s great, um, again, big part thanks to you rescuing her.

Bill: All right, I’m begging you, finn. You gotta stop thanking me. You and your mom are good people. Steffy is the mother of my granddaughter. I’ll always do what I can for you guys. You were all victim to that maniac, sheila.

Finn: Well, I mean, it’s like I told my mom earlier, I refuse to let sheila control my life. Especially now that she’s dead.

Deacon: [Whispers] Get out of here now. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Liam: I mean, you gotta hand it to hope. She’s been incredibly patient with thomas, beyond accommodating.

Brooke: I just don’t get it. I mean, for years, thomas wasn’t even capable of parenting. He wasn’t even focused on it. And now that’s all that he wants to do?

Liam: It’s kind of a 180, isn’t it?

Brooke: I just hope he’s not up to something. I hope he’s not playing some kind of game. And I hope he has douglas’s best interests at heart. Even then, I don’t think he should be a full-time parent.

Liam: No, he absolutely shouldn’t be. And by the way, why is he doing this to hope? Douglas’s adoptive mother. Yes, she didn’t give birth to him, but she’s his mom in every way that counts.

Brooke: And she loves him so much. This is douglas’s home. This is his family. You, hope, and beth.

Thomas: You know, we are raising a pretty impressive kid.

Hope: Douglas is a smart, sensitive boy, and I think it’s a good sign that he’s so eager to go back to school.

Thomas: Yeah. You know, all those things he was saying… he loves spending time here, and he misses me, I… I didn’t coach him.

Hope: I know.

Thomas: Okay, ’cause, you know, it’s– like, I just sometimes feel like the boy who cried wolf. I’ve deceived you so many times. But I made a vow to myself that I was going to be a better man. The kind of man that douglas can look up to, the kind of father he can be proud of. And I think I have, I think I’ve really straightened myself out. I hope you can believe me.

Deacon: Hey, you got those drinks for me?

Bartender: Yeah, right here.

Deacon: Thanks. Just put those on my tab, all right? On the house, boys.

Bill: Hm. From you, impossible. What’s the catch?

Deacon: I just wanna make sure everyone’s happy.

Finn: Thanks. Got a good lunch crowd in here today.

Deacon: Yeah. Gotta get back to work.

Bill: Listen, finn, uh… I gotta tell you. It’s pretty brave, coming back to the scene of that horrible night that almost ended your life.

Finn: Yeah, I, uh… my heart raced a little bit when I drove through the neighborhood, but like I said, I’m not going to let sheila dictate my life.

Bill: Good for you. You know that bear did you a favor, all right? It did us all a favor. I can’t imagine a more fitting end to a miserable life. Sheila carter being torn to shreds like the animal she was.

Finn: That’s a pretty brutal way to go.

Bill: And well deserved. I mean, what are the odds? Sheila runs from the cops, hides in the woods like the coward that she was, and ends up being eaten for breakfast. Payback’s a bitch.

Finn: I’ll never understand why she did the things she did.

Bill: Oh, it’s simple. She’s a certifiable maniac.

Finn: Maybe she was. Definitely had some issues.

Bill: Yeah.

Finn: But she is the woman who gave birth to me. I wouldn’t be here without sheila carter.

Liam: Come on, hope, text me back.

Hope: Beth is alive.

Liam: Yes. She’s been with us the whole time.

Hope: As phoebe.

Liam: Yes, and thomas– thomas knew. He knew, and he kept it from you.

Hope: No.

[Door opens loudly]

Thomas: What the hell do you think you’re doing? Get away from my wife.

Hope: Thomas!

Liam: You lying son of a bitch.

Hope: Thomas. Thomas, look at me. What liam is saying, is it true?

Liam: Go ahead, thomas. Now’s your chance, tell the truth for once in your life.

Thomas: I am warning you. Back off.

Liam: You see this, hope? Hope he’s not denying it. He is using your grief to manipulate you because that’s what a sick bastard like this thinks love is.

Thomas: You are the lying son of a bitch.

Liam: Tell that to your son.

Hope: Liam! Liam!

Thomas: No. No.

Hope: No. Thomas, what is wrong with you?

Thomas: This way, this way.

Hope: Let me go! Liam!

Liam: Tell her. Tell her you’ve been lying to her. Tell her that you’ve been keeping her daughter from her! Tell her!

Hope: Oh, my god…

Liam: Don’t let him get inside your head.

Hope: Yes, thomas. I do believe that you’ve changed. I can see how much you care about our son, and it is very clear how much he adores you.

Thomas: That’s why I need more time with him. I mean, you’ve had him for so long.

Hope: What do you mean by “you’ve had him”? I’m his mother.

Thomas: No, you’re right. You are his mother. And douglas does need you, but he also needs me. He needs both of us.

Hope: I can see that he’s having a great time here, but that is also because it is different. It’s new, it’s exciting. It’s– it’s not home. It’s not his home, where he has a little sister who’s been asking about him. So, I just don’t understand why you’re trying to take that away from him, or from me.

Thomas: My intentions are not to hurt you, okay? They’re not to hurt anyone. I want what’s best for douglas, and yeah– do I want him living here in the family home with me? Yeah! Absolutely. But the ideal is that he lives with both of us. And I get that that’s impossible, I understand, you’re with liam. But unlike liam, or my father, I’m a one woman man. And that woman is you.

Deacon: What the hell, sheila? What were you thinking?

Sheila: I was doing you a favor. You forgot your phone.

Deacon: A favor? By what? Getting us thrown back in prison?

Sheila: You know, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect to run into anybody that knew me, let alone my son. But, oh my god, what a blessing. To see his handsome face again, and to hear what he– he said about me. Oh, god, you could hear the sadness in his voice. He misses me.

Deacon: Please…

Sheila: Look, okay, you think I’m crazy, but my son still loves me. He’s sad that– that– that I died, I– I could just sense it, and being in the same room with him was–

Deacon: Was a huge mistake, is what it was.

Sheila: No, it was better than I could have ever expected. No, every– everything that I’ve done, I mean– faking my own death, risking everything. My freedom to come back here. I mean, just to– just to see him and– and know that he still cares about me. His mother!

Deacon: All right, just take it down a notch. All right? Enjoy your little victory lap here, ’cause this is the last time you’re gonna see finn. Even that stupid disguise, it’s too risky.

Sheila: But my son!

Deacon: Sheila. Sheila! Come back to reality. Hi. Don’t get any wild ideas.

Sheila: Oh, this changes everything, deacon. There’s no way that I’m leaving los angeles. Not when I know that I have a chance at a relationship with my son. Ughh!

Chloe: Okay, so our watchwords for this evening are “prioritize” and “delegate.” And, hopefully, by the end of this conversation, we’ll have figured out if we’re going to keep omega news or dump it.

Sally: That is the age-old problem, isn’t it? Do we continue to invest in an underperforming platform, hope that things change, or do we just accept that it will never live up to expectations and just move on?

Chloe: A few minutes ago I thought we were in agreement that we’re going to put the company’s resources elsewhere and give some added support to a younger, fresher company.

Sally: Yeah, but what if there’s a reason that newman stayed with omega for this long, and it was just waiting for the right ceo to give it some oomph? I was there for the good times. Yes, sure, it’s struggled a little bit recently and the numbers aren’t great, but when it’s good, it can be number one. It just needs the right circumstances.

Chloe: Hey, sally, please pay attention to the clock.

Sally: Okay, you just don’t give up on something just because it’s hit a rough patch. All of us go through trying times. Is it a diamond in the rough? Undoubtedly. But I’ve seen glimmers of brilliance. It could be an industry-changer. I mean, how do you just walk away from a gem like that?

Chloe: Cut the crap, sally. We’re not talking about omega. We stopped talking about omega 10 minutes ago. So here’s what you have to do. Forget about adam, because if you keep letting these questions about him take over your brain, you’ll just wind up another casualty.

Chelsea: [ Sighs, sniffles ]

[ Sighs, sniffles ]

[ Knock on door ]

Adam: Chelsea. Hey, it’s me. Let me in.

Chelsea: Adam?

Adam: Yeah. You decent?

Chelsea: Have I ever been?

Adam: Well, good point. I’ve seen every version of you, so just let me in.

Chelsea: [ Sniffles, sighs ] Okay.

[ Sighs, sniffles ]

[ Sighs ] Hey. What’s going on?

Adam: There’s something that you need to see.

Chelsea: It can’t wait till morning?

Adam: Nope, because it’s going to blow your mind.

Phyllis: Bang. There you go. It’s the last of its kind. Enjoy. Ha. You’re funny.

Nick: What is this?

Phyllis: You know what it is. It’s all your money back for the loan that you gave me for the grand phoenix. And thank you, by the way. That’s it. Oh, gosh. You know? I sold it to chancellor-winters. It’s over. I have to pay back my debts.

Nick: I gave this to you a long time ago. There were no strings attached, remember? But you refused.

Phyllis: Yeah. So here we are, the end of an era.

Nick: Seems like you came up with the idea for your hotel like a lifetime ago.

Phyllis: A lifetime ago, right. That was my rise from the ashes after all the bridges had burned. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Nick: Come on. Yeah, you could have. When there’s something you want, I dare anyone to get in your way.

Phyllis: You say that like it’s a good thing.

Nick: I mean, it can be. If the grand phoenix was in the hands of anyone else, it would have just been some other hotel, you know, come and go, but you created this luxury destination where everybody keeps coming back. It’s unforgettable, like you.

Phyllis: You’re just saying that because it’s true.

[ Both chuckle ]

Nick: It is true. You really created something special.

Phyllis: Thank you. I think I did, too. And I think that the staff will talk about me and what a great employer I was and how I made everybody stay comfortable and how good I was to the guests. It’s a fact. That would be true.

Nick: It would be true.

Phyllis: Oh, it was — it was hard, you know? It was a lot of hard work. You know that. I put out a lot of fires. Oh, but I made it into something. And that escape club. Wow. And that was amazing. That was pretty genius on my part. Who knew that I’d be the one to make people’s dreams come true?

Nick: Some of us knew.

Phyllis: I’m walking away, and I made a profit, so that’s good. I made it a success, and that’s what I wanted to do. I am out to dream another dream and turn that into a reality.

Diane: Talia morgan… am I right? The investigative reporter?

Talia: Well, that depends. Who wants to know? Hello? You are?

Diane: Just a huge fan who’s dying to know what brings you all the way to little, old genoa city. Hi, I’m karen.

Sally: You make it sound like I’m obsessing over adam.

Chloe: Because you are.

Sally: You could not be further from the truth.

Chloe: Okay, I know all the symptoms. I just can’t find the cure. I warned you about this many, many times. This is what he does. He finds a beautiful woman who’s just a little broken around the edges maybe, and things start to burn bright for a while, and then he breaks it off. But he still finds a way to keep you interested and maintain a connection to make you believe that there’s still something between you that’s undeniable and immortal.

Sally: You know what? I think we’ll keep omega.

Chloe: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, of course you will. Of course you will. Because adam is an expert at finding women who just can’t let go. You know what you’ll do next? Because I do. You make a mental note of all of the wonderful things that you two did together. How he made you feel so special and important. And you’re chalking all of the really screwed-up stuff he said and did to the trauma he suffered as a child. Because, sure, he mistreated you and he acted like a full piece of human garbage, but, no, no, that’s not the real adam. That’s not the man that you fell in love with. He’s different.

Sally: I’m not in love.

Chloe: No, please. This is how it all starts. This is how it all starts. The denial. Yeah, I went through this, this ill-fated obsession with adam, with chelsea so many times I know it by heart, and it is wearing me out. Seeing someone else waste their time and energy thinking about this guy and, worst, still loving him?

[ Sighs ] Please don’t make me go through that again. I just can’T. I’m not that strong, and adam definitely isn’t worth it, and you deserve a hell of a lot better.

Chelsea: Connor made this?

Adam: Uh-huh. At camp.

Chelsea: It’s so good.

Adam: Right? He’s been begging me to get a wood-burning kit, but i said you would never forgive me.

Chelsea: Oh, I told him the same thing. I said, absolutely not. No way. Oh, my god. I love it. It’s the three — our names, the three of our names.

Adam: Yeah, do you see how the “c” for chelsea is the “c” for connor?

Chelsea: Mm, and the last letter of my name is the beginning of yours.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Kid’s a genius.

Chelsea: He really is. Oh, my gosh, I know exactly where I’m going to put this. I got to keep this one, right? He can make you another?

Adam: I’m sure connor will get a kick out of making another.

Chelsea: Yeah. Wow. He’s a special kid.

Adam: He is. And he’s happy and healthy. Whatever else we did, we did this right.

Chelsea: Yeah.

Adam: Yeah. Anyway, that’s not the only reason that I came to see you.

Chelsea: Okay.

Adam: I wanted to tell you that I took your advice to heart, and I went to see jack, and I accepted his offer to work at jabot.

Chelsea: Adam, you did it?

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Chelsea: That’s incredible. I’m so happy for you.

Adam: Thank you.

Chelsea: And I’m proud of you, too. I know that’s a big decision — resisting the urge to take down victor, ignoring the impulse to just burn it all down.

[ Sighs ] What?

Adam: I mean, revenge and self-destruction. Without even telling you, you knew what road I was on.

Chelsea: Well, we’re part of each other. You know, jack is going to catch some heat for bringing you on.

Adam: That’s an understatement. I have miles to go before I can win over the rest of the family and convince them to trust me. But the important part is I took the better choice, and that wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t taken your advice. So thank you. It means a lot to me that you still have my back.

Chelsea: Of course.

Adam: And I want to do the same for you.

Phyllis: So, how are things going for you, mr. Coo? Dare I ask?

Nick: Let’s not talk about that, alright? I know how you feel about me being here.

Phyllis: I could be happy for you, even though I totally disagree with your decision to be here.

Nick: Okay, it’s going great. Thank you.

Phyllis: Great. See? I’m happy. Look at that.

Nick: Yes, I love working with my mom and victoria.

Phyllis: Great. Great. How is victoria?

Nick: Doing awesome. You know, very well, considering what she went through.

Phyllis: Oh, that’s great to hear.

Nick: She came back really strong and focused. She has all these goals for newman enterprises, and I’m here to make sure she achieves those goals. What is that face?

Phyllis: We know the truth.

Nick: What truth?

Phyllis: We know who’s really behind victoria. He’s holding the puppet strings. Victor is having somebody else doing his bidding.

Nick: Let’s talk about something else.

Phyllis: Alright, yeah, let’s talk about something else, because all of that messy newman stuff, you know, that was the demise of our relationship, so…

Nick: I’ll avoid it if you do.

Phyllis: Okay, I’ll avoid it. I just want to say that I’m happy for you, and I’m happy that you’re working with your family, and the newmans seem to be one big happy family right now.

Nick: You know, I don’t have blinders on when it comes to my father, right? I know exactly what he’s capable of.

Phyllis: I’m glad you’re not in denial. Hey, listen.

[ Sighs ] Take it from someone who knows you very well. Stay vigilant, even when it’s smooth sailing. Especially when it’s smooth sailing.

Nick: Okay, thanks. Since we’re sticking our noses where they don’t belong, I mean, your move to marchetti?

Phyllis: Yeah.

Nick: I’m happy for you. I am. It just seems super suspicious, however.

Phyllis: Did you “however” me? Really?

Nick: You know what I’m saying.

Phyllis: I have no idea what you’re saying.

Nick: Do I need to say it out loud? Diane.

Without the right start

to your day…

Phyllis: Oh, diane. Diane is just a nuisance. I’m just gonna ignore her.

Nick: Mm.

Phyllis: Mm.

Nick: Remember how you felt compelled to give me advice?

Phyllis: Yeah, about your dad, yeah.

Nick: I’m gonna do the same for you. You hate diane. I get it. So does half the town. But if you are making this move to marchetti just so you can make a move against her…

Phyllis: Wait a second.

Nick: …That would be a terrible mistake.

Phyllis: What are you thinking?

Nick: You sold your hotel.

Phyllis: Yeah, I sold my hotel so I could work with our daughter. It’ll be so much fun.

Nick: Okay, fine. But just don’t risk all that love and happiness for the momentary satisfaction of sticking it to diane, alright? Phyllis, it won’t be worth what it costs you.

Talia: Well, I’m working on a story about the recently deceased ashland locke.

Diane: You don’t say.

Talia: I’m not at liberty to disclose any details. I’m sure you understand.

Diane: Oh, oh, of course, but, you know, ashland and i shared a unique connection.

Talia: Did you?

Diane: Yeah, he raised my grandson.

Talia: Fascinating.

Diane: You know, if you’d like, I could maybe help shed some light on the man, answer any questions you have.

Talia: I’d appreciate that. You wouldn’t happen to have time now, would you?

Diane: As a matter of fact, i do.

Talia: This is too good to be true. I’m so glad we met.

Diane: And I can’t believe that I’m going to help

the talia morgan with a story. Lucky me.

Chloe: The sooner you purge yourself from adam, the better off you’ll be. We’ll both be. I’m not just saying this for the good of the company. I really care about you. You’re talented and energetic, and adam will deplete you of everything. I hate seeing him put you through the wringer like this.

Sally: Thank you for caring about me, chloe. It really means a lot. But you know how it is when you love someone.

Chloe: Oh, no. Oh, no. You said it.

Sally: Well, you can’t just hit the “do not love” button even after they break your heart. Especially now that I know that adam only called it quits with me to protect me.

Chloe: You said it yourself, that he should have trusted you and believed in you. Instead, he put his obsessions first.

Sally: But at least he believed in me to succeed here.

Chloe: Sally, no. Do not get sucked back in. Break the chain. Resist him.

Sally: I am. I am. I will. I mean it. Thank you for the chat, chloe. There’s something that I really have to go do.

[ Sighs ]

Chloe: [ Sighs ]

Adam: Chelsea, something is obviously bothering you. And whatever it is, I think is a little more than jitters over finding a job.

Chelsea: I appreciate your concern for me, but I’m fine. I promise.

Adam: You know, when we were talking earlier —

Chelsea: You know, don’t make too much of that. You just caught me at a weak moment.

Adam: But it was nice letting our guard down. We were reconnecting.

Chelsea: It was nice, but it doesn’t mean I’m ready to dive into the deep recesses of my personal life with you.

Adam: Okay, well, if not with me, I hope you talk to somebody. Somebody that you do trust.

Chelsea: Okay, I’ll be sure to do that.

Adam: I hope you do, ’cause god knows I have learned the hard way that bearing the pain doesn’t make it go away.

Chelsea: You’ve learned that? Okay.

Adam: Yes. It can grow. It can fester and manifest itself in terrible ways down the line, chelsea.

Chelsea: Okay, dr. Newman, this session is over.

Adam: I’m just trying to give you my two cents.

Chelsea: Why does everyone keep acting like I’m one step away from a breakdown? I brought in ensure max protein

Chelsea: Sorry. Didn’t mean to come across so passionate. No need to alert the authorities.

Adam: [ Sighs ] It’s fine.

Chelsea: I need you to understand how it makes me feel. I’m having a bad day. People have them all the time, all over the world. But instead of offering me a mai tai, everyone keeps suggesting I see a shrink.

Adam: Chelsea, there’s no shame in talking to a professional.

Chelsea: And it starts with the word “shame.”

[ Sighs ] Adam, I have done some stuff. It doesn’t mean I am incapable of functioning. I just need you to see me as a normal person. I’m allowed to have the freedom to vent like other people do.

Adam: Chelsea, other people have not been through what you have been through. And, yes, 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.

Adam: Okay, I get it. You’re evading. Okay. Did I stumble too far into your danger zone?

[ Cellphone pings ]

Chelsea: You should probably get that.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Look, I’m — I’m sorry if I overstepped. The last thing I wanted to do was upset you or offend you.

Chelsea: Apology accepted. But… this stays here.

Adam: Understood. Okay? I’ll talk to you soon.

Chelsea: Okay.

Sally: Hope I’m not intruding.

Phyllis: Ugh, you always are.

Sally: I just need to consult my boss regarding a newman media issue.

Phyllis: It’s a private conversation right now.

Nick: Actually, I think we’ve covered everything.

Phyllis: I don’t think so. I have a couple more things to say to you.

Nick: I think we’re good. We’ll talk soon.

Phyllis: I have some work to do myself at marchetti, actually. It’s really fun to work with our daughter. It’s a revelation, actually. People try to take her down on every occasion, but she rises like a phoenix. Just like her mom.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Wow. Okay, what is this problem you have? Lay it on me. It’s not really a problem, per se. Just something I wanted to run by you.

Phyllis: Nikki.

Nikki: What are you doing here?

Phyllis: Oh, I was just giving nick the final payment for the loan he gave me for the grand phoenix. I had a very interesting conversation with our new pal talia.

Nikki: Is that right?

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. I was giving her a couple tidbits from diane’s past that have yet to be exposed.

Nikki: And?

Phyllis: And I could see her investigative-journalist mind working overtime.

Nikki: Well, judging from the text that she sent us earlier, it seems like she’s getting ready to write an in-depth exposé on the real diane jenkins.

Diane: I’m so used to seeing your byline on all of my favorite articles, and here you are, right in my very own backyard. I am curious, though, how you’re going to breathe some new life into these same old facts. I mean, so much has already been reported about ashland.

Talia: Well, my goal is to go beyond what’s already been published. The secret to my success is my ability to dig deep, to find out what people are hiding and bring it all to light.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Well, I’m just thrilled that you’re interested in what I can bring to the story. What do you want to know?

When cold symptoms

keep you up,

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

[Sfx: Buzzing ] This is pretection

Sally: I’m trying to decide if we should drop one of our news platforms. I saw potential in it when I first took over. I thought that it had gotten a little too predictable, so I made some cosmetic changes, but my main thing was the content.

Nick: That’s what keeps people coming back.

Sally: Exactly. I mean, we have to have reliable information, some offbeat stuff, but the main focus should always be authenticity.

Nick: What are the numbers?

Sally: Not exactly where I’d like them to be. This morning I was ready to dump it, and now I… I don’t know. I’m wondering if we should just hold on to it, see if it can gain some traction. What do you think?

Nick: Sally, the first time we met in newman media, vick and I were five minutes away from firing you. You spoke to us that day with such passion and conviction about how you wanted to run newman media that you made us believe in you, especially me. So what’s going on? This person with all these innovative ideas is all of a sudden second-guessing herself. Why?

Adam: What’s the emergency?

Chloe: Well, you seem scattered. Did I interrupt a crossword puzzle, or were you rearranging your spice cabinet, mr. Man of leisure?

Adam: I was in the middle of an intense conversation with chelsea, and I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but she appears to be in a pretty precarious position.

Chloe: Okay, you can stop right there, because that is the last thing that I want to hear. You’re spending time with chelsea so she can unburden herself, and at the same time, you’re messing around with sally’s head.

Adam: No, I’m not playing games with either one of them, chloe, but I am really worried about chelsea because I think she really needs help.

Chloe: From you? Because if she’s struggling, it’s from what you did to her.

Adam: I know. I know. And she knows that I know. I told her as much.

Chloe: It was an all-too-rare moment of self-realization. Congratulations. So are you going to show sally the same consideration?

Adam: [ Sighs ] The last thing that I want is to hurt her.

Chloe: Prove it.

Diane: And as it turned out, my son kyle was harrison’s biological father.

Talia: Fascinating, though I wonder what that was like for ashland. I mean, here’s a man who kept so many secrets only to find out his wife was keeping the biggest of them all.

Diane: Hmm. We never discussed it, but maybe that’s what set him on the path that eventually led to his downfall.

Talia: So based on what you told me, you only learned you’re a grandmother recently.

Diane: Yes, I did.

Talia: Is that what then made you leave L.A. And come here? I’m trying to get my timeline straight.

Diane: Oh, yeah, I — well, I had moved to L.A. Because of personal issues, but then I worked hard, and I got my life in a good place, and I came back to be with my son. And harrison, the little light of my life, was the unexpected miracle that I’ve been so blessed to receive.

Talia: Well, that’s so touching, though I doubt ashland felt the same way. I mean, there you were, one more person with a biological connection to harrison that he didn’t have.

Diane: We actually had a very civil relationship.

Talia: Interesting. Tell me how that came about.

Diane: You know, I’m so curious how you’re going to tell his story. There are so many ways of looking at a person’s life. Are you just digging for dirt, or do you intend to portray ashland locke as a misunderstood mogul?

Nikki: What the hell?

Phyllis: Don’t stare.

Nikki: Well, somebody needs to explain to our journalist friend what it means to bury the lede.

Phyllis: She said she wanted to meet with us, but she didn’t tell us that she was going to be here.

Nikki: Well, maybe it wasn’t planned. I mean, diane has a way of showing up where she’s not wanted.

Phyllis: So what do we do? I mean, we leave and we come back when the coast is clear? I mean —

Nikki: Let’s text talia and find out what’s going on. Then we’ll decide what we do.

Diane: Phyllis, nikki, come meet someone.

Nikki: Ah, there goes that plan.

Phyllis: What the hell do we do now?

Nikki: Fake a smile and hold on tight.

Diane: Talia morgan, award-winning journalist, I would like you to meet two of genoa city’s most prominent citizens, phyllis summers and nikki newman.

Phyllis: Oh, I’m not familiar. I —

Diane: Oh, she’s from L.A., But I’m sure you’ve read her work.

Nikki: It’s a pleasure, ms. Morgan.

Phyllis: Uh, yes, it’s a pleasure. What brings you to our fine town?

Diane: She’s doing a story about ashland.

Nikki: Oh, well, I hope you leave out newman enterprises, because I would hate for my family’s business reputation to be sullied.

Phyllis: Uh-huh. How’d the two of you meet?

Diane: Oh, well, I just came in to grab a bite, and i couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Talia morgan? Here? So I just barged right over, and we’ve been talking.

Talia: And imagine my surprise when I learned diane has a connection to my subject. I mean, what are the chances?

Phyllis: Yeah, what are the chances? I mean, if I may, you could possibly think it’s a stroke of luck running into diane, but I assure you, it’s not. She’s not a reliable source.

Diane: Oh, phyllis.

[ Chuckles ] We always joke like this.

Nikki: Oh, she’s right. Phyllis is. I mean, I might trust diane to give me the right time of day, but only if I verify it with a third party.

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ]

Diane: Nikki, I guess I need to remind you that I was instrumental in having ashland arrested for violating the restraining order that was put in place to keep him away from harrison.

Phyllis: And she always exaggerates her good deeds.

Nikki: Ah, that is true. She will try to tell you she has stood toe-to-toe with the saints. Then again, maybe she has. I mean, there was that miraculous return from the dead.

Talia: Sounds like a juicy story.

Nikki: Oh, you have no idea.

Sally: I don’t understand your question. I have an abundance of ideas, some of which are, if I do say so myself, brilliant. But I just like to think things through from all angles.

Nick: I think there’s a lot more going on here, and it’s not criticism. Sally, you’ve proven you have what it takes to run newman media. Trust me, if you didn’t, you’d be gone. But I think there’s something getting in the way of that, and I would like to get to the root of it.

Sally: He — it — it won’T.

Nick: Look, we all want you to reach your full potential, you know, we all want you to succeed. So just be honest with me. What is going on?

Sally: You’re right.

[ Sighing ] There was… an outside issue that may have caused me to question my initial decision.

Nick: Adam.

Chloe: You finally did something decent when you broke up with sally. You not only saved her job, but you probably spared her tons of therapy moving on. And then you mucked it all up by claiming that you still loved her, that you stepped aside to save her dream, that it was a selfless act.

Adam: Mm-hmm. It was the truth.

Chloe: Oh, my god.

[ Scoffs ] Are you serious? It was the exact opposite of selfless, you big jerk. And now she’s got her head all turned around. She can’t even focus on her job, which means that she’s probably going to fall back and then she’ll fail. All because you had to go and make yourself out to be the hero, you dummy.

Adam: Well, if there’s one thing you and I can agree on, it’s that I am no hero.

Chloe: Okay, well, before you go and hang your cape up, there is one last act of kindness I’d like to request.

Adam: What is it?

Chloe: I am begging you to make it crystal clear to sally that there is no future for the two of you.

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Without the right start

to your day…

Sally: I am going to offer a polite “no comment.” Constructive feedback is always appreciated, and I thank you for your thoughts.

Nick: You’re welcome. You handled my prying very well.

Sally: I’m going to take that as a compliment and proof that I should always follow my good instincts, the very thing that convinced you that I’m the right person for the job. So I’m just going to take a deeper look at this whole news conundrum and make a call.

Nick: There you go. Sally, I always trust your instincts. But if you want to bounce some ideas around, my door will always be open for you.

Sally: Thanks, nick. That’s good to know. And I promise my personal life will not interfere with my job. You have my word.

Nick: [ Sighs ]

Chloe: Go to sally and find some way to convince her that when you dumped her it wasn’t a selfless act of love and protection. Go be the jerk that I see.

Adam: I’m not sure that i can, chloe.

Chloe: Oh, come on. Come on. Be the cruel, selfish, heartless bastard we all know you are at your core, the ruthless, inhuman —

Adam: Mm-hmm. I get it. Message received.

Chloe: Go break that girl’s heart. She’ll get over you. But she has to know that she needs to get over you. Otherwise, she’s going to be staring off at the skyline, wondering if you’re ever going to take her back. So you let her know that it is a big no. Do you want her to fail after you’ve dumped her just so she can keep her job?

Adam: No, of course.

Chloe: Then you have to do this to make sure that she doesn’t wreck her career. Haven’t you done enough damage from one lifetime?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Why can’t you commit to something as simple as a family outing for the sake of our son?

Adam: Relax, chelsea. I didn’t say that i wouldn’t do it.

Chelsea: Well, you didn’t say you would, either. Why? Is it because sally’s here? You don’t want to send her the wrong message?

Billy: We are good together. This relationship is unlike any other one that I have in my life. It’s a unique connection. It’s alright. You know, we’ve been working closely together lately, and, uh, the moment was misinterpreted. It happens to the best of us.

Chelsea: Can we just pretend that never happened? We need to focus because this is our final podcast, so let’s just move on.

Billy: You don’t think we should talk about this for a minute? I mean —

Chelsea: I absolutely do not.

[ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Oh, here comes the explosion.

Diane: Oh, no. No explosion. Not today or ever. You know, phyllis, it’s clear you’re trying to goad me into having an emotional meltdown in front of this journalist. But I apologize, talia, for the bad behavior. And, ladies, I apologize for not giving you what you so desperately desire. Good night.

Nikki: I cannot believe that —

Phyllis: Shh, shh. Oh, my gosh. That was amazing. Tell us everything.

Talia: Well, according to diane jenkins, she’s a loving mother, a doting grandmother, and she’s done a lot to overcome adversity.

Nikki: How did you manage to keep a straight face?

Talia: I mean, she’s very entertaining, especially knowing all that she’s leaving out. She’s a real piece of work.

Phyllis: Mm, yeah. What do we do now?

Talia: Well, I’ve had a lot of experience dealing with people like diane. You apply pressure, push the right buttons, and it’s amazing what all comes out and how they give themselves away.

Phyllis: Yeah. This is going to be good. Mm-hmm.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

something doesn’t add up. If nikolas always knew he could vouch for your whereabouts, why didn’t he just say that? More to the point, why didn’t you? Because nikolas is lying. You’re not alone, okay?

[ Monitor beeping ] Your family is right outside, even spencer, just waiting for you to wake up.

[ Monitors beeping loudly ]

[ Gasps ] She needs help! We’ve been keeping secrets from one another. We have? I think it’s time we stopped doing that, put our cards on the table. Would you like to go first? No. I think we can both jump in as need be. You’ve got lucy coe trying to get information on me. That’s clever. Well, given the players, I thought sequins might be a good camouflage, because you’ve been so opaque. And I’ve got my reasons. Actually, I have one very good reason. Your daughter. Charlotte’s in danger, isn’t she? My man, drew. So what brings you by? Well, after everything that happened at the family manse yesterday, I needed a little bit of a distraction. Right. I heard about what happened to ava. Is she gonna be okay? Well, last I heard, she was critical but stable. It’s so horrible. I mean, do they have any idea who might have done this to her? Pcpd is working on it. The boathouse is cordoned off as a crime scene, and I spent most of the morning answering questions. Oh, well, no wonder you need a distraction.

[ Both chuckle ] Um… speaking of distractions, should I tell drew or do you want to? Tell me what? We got engaged.

[ Laughing ] What?

[ Laughter ]

[ Sighing ] I can’t give in to you. Why not? Because I lost everything that, in my mind, identified me, and I hate it. And I don’t want to hide from it by turning to you. When I come to you, I want it to be for the right reasons.

[ Door opens ] Hey, carly. Hey. Hi. You were a million miles away just now. Yeah, I have a lot to think about. [ Chuckles ] That’s why I’m here. My daughter needs me, and I am here for you. Thanks.

Nikolas lied. What a shocker. But I did find you two together. I wasn’t with him the whole time. Why’d he tell jordan that you were? He was being a friend. He was covering for me. So where were you, then? I don’t know. Well, the, uh, quartermaine estate is a big place. I guess no one would fault you if you didn’t know exactly where you were. Finn… I haven’t told you everything. It’s time I did. Poor avery. How’s she taking it? She’s really upset, and she’s confused, but I can’t go away to a seminar when avery’s mother’s in the hospital. Mm. If you want to say something, why don’t you just say it? You’re using ava’s stabbing as an excuse not to go. What are you talking about? Why would I need an excuse not to go to a seminar? After the merger disaster, you picked yourself right up, and you were so excited to get your life back on track. And now… now what? And now you’re looking for excuses not to take the next step. So what changed? Oh, congratulations, you guys! I am so, so happy for you. Really, man. Thanks, drew. We’re pretty excited about it ourselves. Yeah. We’re pretty lucky, aren’t we, babe? Yeah. Yeah, we are. Mr. Cassadine. What’s going on? Why did the alarms go off?

Yes. Victor has charlotte. Oh, god, valentin. I wanted to be wrong about this. How did he get to her? Huh? I thought that charlotte was safe. Peter was gone, and I made the mistake of thinking I could let my guard down.

[ Sighs ] I think we both underestimated him. I mean, using your own granddaughter as a hostage? That is a new low. Well, that’s the thing about my father. He has no low to hit. Victor saved charlotte from peter. She wanted to see me in the clinic. I thought it was okay for victor to bring her to me. And that’s when he took her? As soon as they left the clinic, he took her to a new school. It’s a state-of-the-art, high-security boarding school, the kind where sheikhs and oligarchs send their children. Suffice to say, I can send texts, I can call, but neither the school nor victor will allow me physical contact.

[ Sighs ] And with your daughter as leverage, he knows he has control over you. That’s exactly right.

[ Exhales sharply ] I have to do everything he says, because if I don’t, he’s made it very clear… he’s gonna hurt her. Your wife’s blood pressure dropped dangerously low. We gave her medication to stabilize it. But she’s stable? With her vitals and the way she’s responding to the medication, I expect mrs. Cassadine will regain consciousness soon. Can I see her? Of course. Um… I’m gonna go head to the vending machine. Does anybody want anything? No, thank you. I’ll go with you. Are you, uh, holding up okay? I’m just concerned about my wife. Mr. Cassadine. Why don’t we let your nephew and ava have some time alone? Now it’s your turn to answer questions. So, now that the charges have been dropped, pcu expunged their title ix ruling and reinstated trina. That is fantastic. It’s so great that you guys are throwing her a party. I mean, trina deserves to have a little bit of fun after everything that she has been through. I just wish she didn’t have to worry about ava now. Yeah. I have to check on a few patients before the party. I will see you tonight? Okay. And it was really good to see you, drew. Great to see you, too. Congratulations again! Thank you. Mm. Aw. So, now that it’s just the two of us, you want to tell me the real reason why you stopped by? I cannot fly off to aruba to take a leadership course when my personal life is complicated. Oh, god. Don’t tell me this is about sonny. No. God, no. This is not about sonny. This…[ Sighs ] It’s about jason. How can jason be causing you problems?

[ Sighs ] ‘Cause I think I have feelings for his brother? Oh, that. What do you mean, “oh, that”? Please, carly. Everybody knows.

[ Scoffs ] Okay, what does everyone think they know? I don’t know what the big deal is. You are both healthy, single adults. Mom, it’s not nearly that simple. Okay, then. Tell me everything.

[ Sighs ] Well, I mean, after jason died, you know, drew and i were getting closer and becoming friends. And then we started what I thought was just harmless flirting. And now I realize I have feelings for him.

Does drewreturn your feelings? I think so. I mean, well, yes. Yesterday at the picnic, I asked him point blank what was going on. And? Okay. I know that look.

[ Laughs ] I take it the conversation went pretty well? Yeah. I mean, after a while, there wasn’t a lot of talking happening, so… so. I love those conversations. Yeah, but before it got too hot, the fire kind of stopped everything. You lost me. We kind of left the grill unattended.

[ Gasps ] Carly. I know, I know. But it was fine, because someone put the fire out, and it actually gave drew and i a minute to think. And he stopped by earlier, because he wanted to talk about where I thought things should go between us. What did you tell him? I told him that, um, in the past year, I’ve lost my marriage, my career, and my best friend, and my life has gone from stable to uncharted, and that it wouldn’t be fair for me to start anything with him when I wasn’t really sure where my life was going. So you’re putting your life on hold to protect drew? Last time I looked, drew was perfectly capable of protecting himself. Drew: Wait, what is this? Are you accusing me of having ulterior motives to come look in on a friend? You look like you got something on your mind.

[ Sighs ] Yeah, well… alright, so I just came from carly’s, and, um… okay, just — yesterday, at the quartermaine picnic, um, she accused me of flirting with her. Oh.

Were you flirting with her? Oh, yeah.

[ Laughs ] And did she return the vibe? Yes. Okay. But… when I went to talk to her today and I told her that I really wanted to see where this could go, she said that, um… she needs to sort her own life out first. Hmm. Drew, I hate to say it. She might be right. Yeah, probably. And I’m gonna tell you something — while carly is getting her house in order, maybe you should do the same. Nikolas needed to cover for me… because I don’t know where I was. You think maybe you lost time again? Yes. Look, maybe you don’t remember ’cause you hit your head. No. No, I-I’ve lost consciousness before and had a hard time remembering, and this was different. It was like — it was like when those pills were making me sleepwalk, which means I can’t explain my whereabouts when ava was attacked, and nikolas knew that it was gonna make the police suspicious. And I can’t risk anything happening to me, because my boys — my boys need me. Yeah, they do. I don’t know what to do. I need help. Okay. Hey. Hey, we start from the beginning, alright? And we’re gonna figure this out together. Chief scorpio said you were among the people who showed up to the boathouse after ava was found. Yes. One of many. We were concerned when we saw all the police there. Mr. Cassadine, prior to that, can you tell me where you were and who you were with? Well, when ava was so viciously attacked, I was with spencer. He had been taken ill. Are you sure? Because the quartermaine staffer who confirmed spencer was intoxicated at the time of the attack said he was alone. Another witness stated they saw you and spencer around 10:15 P.M., After the attack. And nikolas already stated that he was with elizabeth baldwin when ava was assaulted, so can anyone confirm your whereabouts? I do commend your pursuit of justice, commissioner, but right now, my family needs me. I trust eventually you will find the person responsible for this dreadful crime. Thank you for your time, mr. Cassadine. I will be following up. Dr. Valero thinks you’re gonna wake up soon. I wonder if you’ll be able to tell us what you saw.

[ Monitor beeping ] Ava!

[ Whimpers ] No. No, stop. Nikolas.

Last night, after we fought about you calling sarah, I stormed off, and then I blacked out. And maybe our fight triggered it? Uh, maybe. I was pretty angry. All I could hear was your voice telling me that my boys are probably aware that I have a problem. And then — then I-I was… I was someplace else, and I have no idea how I got there. And that’s when nikolas showed up. And that was around the time ava was attacked. Yes, and I have zero recollection of where I was or what I was doing. Even if you don’t know where you were, there’s no way you did this. How can you be sure? You had no reason to want to hurt ava. I hurt chase. That’s because whatever part of your subconscious is doing this didn’t want him to discover what was going on. What if — what if when I was out of it, I ran into ava, and I perceived her as a threat? I mean, anything is possible, because I don’t know what I was doing. What do you mean, I should get my own house in order? Drew, what have you done since you came back to town? First, you threw yourself into investigating victor cassadine, then it was helping the quartermaines get elq back from valentin. Yeah. Those are really important things. They are, but to other people. So, I don’t — what are you saying? I should be more selfish? I’m saying that you were so busy righting the wrongs from your past that you stopped yourself from moving forward. Maybe you’re right. Maybe I’m not protecting drew. Maybe I’m protecting myself. From what? Oh, come on, mom. You tell me. How could it not be a mistake, after everything that’s happened in my life, for me to get involved with jason’s brother?

[ Exhales sharply ] Honey, are you afraid that you’re seeing drew as a substitute? No, of course not. Because nobody could ever take jason’s place in your life. Exactly. And what place was that? Jason was your safety net. No matter what shenanigans you ever got up to, or no matter how questionable your behavior — and believe me, I am not judging here. You sure about that? I’m not. And jason wouldn’t either.

[ Sighs ] There was nothing you could ever do that would drive jason away. He might have been hurt or angry or bitterly disappointed, but jason would never turn his back on you, even when you might have deserved it.

[ Chuckles ] But drew? Drew might not be as forgiving of your impulses. Carly: Oh, my god, it’s true. Nina’s willow’s mother.

[ Exhales deeply ] Like whatever it is you’re thinking about right now. Trina? Mom! How are you holding up? I was in the room with ava when the alarms started going off. No! Is she okay? The doctor said she was gonna be fine, but… I’m scared out of my mind. Honey, I’m sorry that you have to go through this right now, especially after everything else. Yeah, um, about that, uh… I was thinking that maybe tonight isn’t the best time to have a party? Would you be upset if we canceled it? Is there any change with ava? Not that I’m aware of that. But then, I’ve been held up by that police commissioner. I tell you, that’s someone who could benefit from some more professional detachment. Meaning? Meaning, if commissioner ashford continues to make insinuations disguised as questions, she’s gonna learn the hard way what it means to cross a cassadine. For what it’s worth, I know what you’re going through, okay? I know you do. I just wish you could teach me how you handled it.

[ Voice breaking ] Because she’s not safe, and there’s nothing I can do about. I’m helpless. Why didn’t you tell me? I mean, not at first, obviously, because you couldn’t risk having a message intercepted. But I — when you came home, I was here. Please believe me, I had no choice. Protecting charlotte is my only priority, and if he knew that we were having this conversation, there’s no telling what he would do to her. I’m going insane! Oh, stop, stop, stop. Oh, god. Alright, it’s alright. I can’T… it’s alright. I understand. Thank you.

[ Sighs ] Okay. So, look… we will bring charlotte home, alright? I promise you that. But in order to do it, we have to take victor down. So you’ve been working for him, have you? Since you left the clinic? I have. And you’ve done everything that he asked? Just about. What did he ask you to do? Let’s rule a few things out, alright? Um, have you started taking any pills again? No. No, not since I-i checked myself into shadybrook. But, finn, this came on all on its own. I don’t know what’s happening to me. Alright. But something had to have triggered it, alright? You said you were replaying our fight in your head. Was there anything else? Yeah. I’ve been having these — these fragments of a memory. I’m — I’m a teenager and I’m shouting at a woman. I’m telling her to stay away from my father. What woman? I don’t know. I don’t know. No one I-I remember or recognize. Yet. And then it — it happened again after our fight. That’s the last thing I remember until I came to. Okay. How often has this been happening? The first time was after I talked to scott about walking in on you and terry talking about me behind my back. And this time was when you were angry about me contacting sarah, so these events have something in common. You were angry with me. Wait, no, there was — there was another time. When I checked myself out of shadybrook and I came to work, do you remember you found me in the stairwell? Mm-hmm. I don’t think this is being caused by — by arguments or me being angry. I think these images are — are — are happening every time somebody confronts me about what’s been happening. And normally, that person is you. And if you’re right, I mean, maybe this is more than — than my grief over losing franco. There is something very wrong with me. Nikolas: Commissioner, please. My wife just woke up. She’s in distress. I see that. No, she’s in no condition to answer questions. I got the okay from dr. Valero. Well, you’re also gonna need my okay, and I’m actually not okay. Wh-what…? Um, I don’T… what happened? Ava, it’s commissioner ashford. You’re in the icu. You were stabbed last night. I was stabbed? Yes, and we’re making every effort we can to find out who did this to you, but time is of the essence. Do you feel up to answering some questions? I want them to find who did this more than anybody, but not at the expense of your recovery. Let me get the doctor. No, no. I want — I want to talk. I-I don’t know that I can help you, though. I don’T… I-I didn’t see who attacked me. What’s the last thing you remember? I was at the — the quartermaines’. I was — I was outside the boathouse. Was anyone with you? I was alone. I thought so. I-I went there just to take a moment for myself. And then… and then pain here. What else do you remember? I’m sorry. It’S… it’s all a blur after that. I-I think that — that I tried to call out for help. Do you know who found me? Josslyn jacks. She and a man who works for sonny brought you here. They — they saved your life. What were you doing prior to going to the boathouse? Why did you need a moment alone? Nikolas: This is what you always wanted, to see the relationship with my son destroyed, huh? It killed you to see us get close. That is absolutely not true! Because it hurt too much, knowing that you would never get the chance to heal with kiki that I had with spencer. But you’re the only one to blame for that. Commissioner, please. Clearly, my wife needs to rest. This can wait. Ava, when you woke up, you seemed upset with your husband. Why is that? We had a fight.

I just don’t want drew to be a crutch I use to get over everything that’s happened. Isn’t he already? Well, as a friend, yes, but that’s not what either one of us are talking about. I mean, if something happens between me and drew, we want it to be about us and not anyone else. I don’t see you and drew being a rebound thing. Neither do I, ’cause it’s not gonna happen. Carly. What? What about all those feelings you just admitted to having? They’re not going to go away. And you know better than anyone, you can’t help who you fall for. Okay, well, then we’re just gonna have to deal with it. And who knows? Maybe someday, something will happen between me and drew. But the way things are right now, I can’t afford to lose another friend. When I was in that cell, all I wanted was to get back to the life that I remembered. So I shouldn’t have been surprised when I got back and time hadn’t stopped. No, man, time doesn’t do that, no matter how nicely we ask. But you and portia, you guys were lucky. You managed somehow to find your way back. Yeah, we weren’t lucky. We worked hard to get to where we are now, and to get from the mistakes of our past. See, when portia and I — when we got together back in the day, she was married, I didn’t know that, and I was in my first year of recovery. Yeah, but even then, you guys still had a connection. Right, but it was nothing we could build on, so inevitably, it ended badly. Now that we find ourselves back together… mm. …We’re the same people, but we’re in different places in life. But you’re in better places. Much better places. And the thing is, is we’re not trying to re-create the past. We’re exploring a beautiful future. But that’s the thing with carly. The future that I want with her is nothing like our pasts. But I-I — I know what you’re gonna say, that I gotta respect the fact that she doesn’t want to mess with our friendship. Valid. But it’s also a good excuse not to take risks. She doesn’t think it’s time. And, yeah, I wish that she didn’t feel that way. I think that we could be incredible together. But just because I’m ready to move forward doesn’t mean she is. Were you the french captain? Capitaine francois olivier. I wish I were more surprised. I am so sorry. No, no. Please, don’T. I understand why you did what you did. What is victor after? Why is he doing all of this? I don’t know. He won’t tell me, and he doesn’t have to, because he’s got charlotte. Please believe me, I am completely in the dark. I guess now that I know that jennifer was — was framed, I can — I can call the wsb. No, no. That’s out of the question. This has to stay between you and me, because if it doesn’t, and he knows I’ve betrayed him, he’ll take it out on charlotte. We can’t leave an innocent woman in prison. Anna, I’m too far in. I’m not gonna let anything happen to charlotte. I’m not gonna lose my daughter. And what did you and nikolas fight about? What we always fight about. His son. Spencer and I don’t like each other very much, and it, uh… causes friction. And this was right before you were attacked? Exactly how heated did this argument get? Commissioner, I didn’t stab my wife, so I fail to see how this is relevant. It’s relevant, mr. Cassadine, because just this morning, I asked you if before she was attacked, was she upset? I asked you if she experienced any conflict, and you said no. Yet here she is, having fought with your son. Why did you lie to me? The cassadine family, their arguments are traditionally dramatic, okay? So when you asked me about conflict, I assumed that you meant outside of the family. And I’d love to believe that. Well, one thing you should believe, both of you, is that I deeply regret getting in a fight with ava. I mean, god, if we hadn’T… if we hadn’t have fought, you might not have gone to that damn boathouse, and I might have been there to stop anyone who’d want to cause you harm, and instead, I was venting about the argument to elizabeth baldwin. I’m just — I’m so sorry. I should have never left your side. One silly fight and I almost lost you. I should have been there for you. Thank you, nikolas. It’s the thought that counts. I’m — I’m sorry, but I’m getting a little tired now. I understand. Thank you for speaking with me, ava. We’ll pick this up when you’re feeling a little stronger. I’ll speak with you later. How are you feeling? When I heard you were attacked, I was so scared, ava. What’s the matter? Last night, we said a lot of things to each other. Yeah, we did. And I would — wait. You don’t think I did this to you, do you? Well, of course you can cancel the party, but honey, are you sure? Mom, I just — honey, you are always putting everyone else’s needs before your own. And after everything that you’ve been through, don’t you think you deserve an evening to yourself and celebrate your accomplishments? Yes, I want to do that, but I just — I also want ava to be there. And when ava wakes up, what do you think she’s gonna say when she finds out that you canceled your party on her account? She’d probably tell me I shouldn’t have. The ava I know would insist that you have the party as planned. Honey, it’s high time that you focused on yourself. I have no idea why we are protecting my father. How often must I tell you, spencer? We cassadines protect our own. There are limits. Uncle victor. My father deserves to be in prison for everything that he’s done. Well, this is one thing he didn’t do. The only interesting piece of information I gleaned from commissioner ashford was that your father has an airtight alibi. He was with elizabeth baldwin while ava was being attacked. Even better. If my father isn’t the one who hurt ava, then I have zero reason to withhold the truth. I will tell commissioner ashford that he slept with esmé.

Think that I’mthe one that did this to you, do you? You couldn’t have. You were with elizabeth, right? Yes, I was. That’s not the only reason you think that — I don’t know what you think. Ava! I would never do anything like this, no matter what we said to each other, no matter how angry. Please tell me that you believe me. I’m tired. I want to be alone. Ava! Let me rest. Oh. How’s ava? She’s awake.

[ Gasps ] Oh! Okay, I gotta go text joss and tell her the news. Okay. Commissioner, I have something that I — oh, commissioner. That’s wonderful news about our ava. Thank you. Spencer, shall we? Mom, do you think I have enough time to go get some of ava’s stuff to her before the party? Now that she’s awake, I know she’ll want something familiar in her room. Oh, honey, you’re gonna be cutting it really close. I mean, wyndemere isn’t exactly around the corner. Yeah, but the metro court practically is, and that’s where she’s been staying for the past couple of days. Oh. Oh, okay. Well, in that case, why don’t — yeah, yeah, yeah. You can take my car. Okay. Okay, come on. Listen to me, great-nephew. I’m gonna tell you this once and you are going to remember it for the rest of your life. Neither your father’s marriage nor anything else relevant to our family is of concern to the authorities. Is that understood? Yes, uncle. Look, I know you’re angry at your father. You have every reason to be. But his movements at the time ava was attacked are well accounted for. So his betrayal of you, no matter how painful, is totally irrelevant. Maybe to the authorities, but it is relevant to trina. How so? Because if commissioner ashford knows why esmé left town, she can use that to find her.

[ Sighs ] It always comes back ’round to ms. Robinson, doesn’t it? I admire your good intentions, but esmé didn’t tell anyone where she was going, and you are just complicating things for yourself if you go back and change your story now. You tried it once, and look where it got you. But uncle — listen to me. Don’t invite any more trouble, spencer. You’re in enough already. Hey, you listen to me. There’s nothing wrong with you. I think this just means that there’s something in your past, something hidden, that you’re not dealing with. I’ve been trying to fight it. I tried to push it down, just hoping it would go away.

[ Voice breaking ] But I just can’t do it anymore. Whatever this memory is that I’m blocking out… …I just need to face it. Whatever happens next, you’re not alone. We’re gonna find the answers together. Drew, I’m just saying, if you really feel that you and carly have something special, wouldn’t you want her to make sure she feels the same thing? Even if it took a while? You know what, curtis? That’s some pretty solid advice right there, man. And I’m not even gonna sit up here and tell you that what worked for portia and me is gonna work for you. But it seems I remember a saying that life is long and full of surprises. Mm. It’s just, I really think that carly and i could make each other happy. But to answer your question, yes. Yes, I can give carly time. I can give her whatever time she needs to make sure she’s ready. Oh, it’s from josslyn. Ava’s gonna be okay. Oh, my gosh. Avery is going to be so thrilled. Well, good, ’cause now you have no reason not to go to that seminar. Oh, mom, I think I need to stay put. Honey, you are doing it again. Hmm? You are making excuses to postpone the next chapter of your life. No, no, I’m not. I’m trying to be sensible. Please. Sensible is not your thing. Okay, you know what? Great talk. Here. It was nice seeing you. Oh, honey! You are a creature of impulse. And when you want something, you go for it. I’m really trying to look before I leap, and I thought you would be proud of me. No, honey. You are looking for reasons not to leap. Maybe losing that hotel was a blessing in disguise, okay? Maybe you can find happiness in a new career, maybe even with a new man. Maybe even with a manyou’ve known for a while. Oh, my gosh. I love you. You have to go. Goodbye.

[ Laughing ] Oh, my gosh. Thank you for coming by. I love you. I love you.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] Charlotte is our priority, but I want you to remember that you’re not carrying this burden alone now, and that gives us some leeway. No one else can be involved. Alright, no wsb. No friends, no allies, no nothing. We will figure out a way to keep charlotte safe ourselves. He has to think he can trust me. He will. He’ll never know that you confided in me. Once charlotte is safe, then we’re gonna put an end to victor.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Days of Our Lives logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Alex: Yeah, I approved it this morning.

Sonny: Okay, great. Who are you testing?

Alex: Stephanie.

Sonny: Dammit! Alex! We have been over this. All right, my cousin’s pr firm works for titan now.

Alex: I know. I got the memo.

Sonny: That means she works here. That means you can’t hit on her.

Alex: You were serious about that?

[Beep beep]

Stephanie: “Excited about our new partnership. Let’s celebrate at my place tonight. We’ll break out the champagne and relax in the hot tub.” I am all for celebrating, but not with you, alex. “Where to go in salem for a decent cosmo.”

Leo: Ugh. I would never! Except I did.

Gwen: Oh god, matty, I can’t believe you did this to me. I swear, when I get my hands on that lying little brat, I’m gonna–

Chad: You’ll do what? Kill him? Like you did my wife?

Steve: So, what’d you tell abe and paulina?

Roman: That we had to shut the party down, that kate called on the phone, said she was feeling sick, so I had to go upstairs and get things ready for her.

Steve: Good. Because orpheus left a note warning us not to tell anyone he has marlena and kayla.

Roman: Yeah. Now that son of a bitch has kate, too.

Steve: I thought we would have heard from him by now.

[Thumping]

John: Speak of the devil. No one out there. But I guess this is probably from him.

Orpheus: How are we all doing this fine evening? Oh, I’m sorry. How rude of me.

Kayla: They are prepping your cell at statesville.

Marlena: How long are you going to keep us here?

Kate: Oh god, you’re gonna pay for this.

Orpheus: The reason I dropped by is to let you know that, one way or another, this all ends tonight.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Sonny: Wow, that’s crazy. Yoink.

Alex: Wha–?

Sonny: A hot tub? Alex, really? What is this, the ’70s? Look, I promised stephanie you would keep things professional.

Alex: Have you not heard of team building exercises, sonny? And aren’t you the one that told me I should settle down with someone?

Sonny: Yes, but maybe I should have specified it should be somebody who can stand you.

Alex: She hasn’t even gotten to know me yet, sonny. Give it a little time. Trust me, I’ll win her over.

Sonny: Well, you wouldn’t sound so confident if you had heard her talking about you today.

Alex: Okay, when you first met will, he wanted nothing to do with you, and look at how that turned out.

Sonny: Yes, true, but that was completely different. Will freaked out because he wasn’t ready to be with a guy yet, all right? And you know what I did? I backed off. And eventually, will came around on his own. That’s the only reason it worked out.

Alex: Huh. Well, that’s too risky for me. Stephanie johnson is the woman of my dreams. I’m not gonna let her slip through my fingers.

Stephanie: Okay if I sit here?

Leo: Girl, this ensemble is fire! I love your style.

Stephanie: Thanks. I love yours too.

Leo: Finally, someone else here in mayberry with taste. We need to be friends. Come, let me order you a cosmo.

Stephanie: Oh my god, you must have read my mind. I’m stephanie.

Leo: I’m matt.

Stephanie: Nice to meet you, matt.

Leo: I don’t think I’ve seen you around these parts. Are you new in town?

Stephanie: Yes and no. I grew up here. But I’ve been living in seattle for the past few years. I just moved back.

Leo: God, why? Work? Family?

Stephanie: Both. My parents still live here. I was actually looking forward to spending time with them again, but then my mom pulled a disappearing act.

Kayla: What do you mean this ends tonight?

Kate: “In one way or another”–is that some kind of implied threat?

Orpheus: Well, if I explained all that, it would, uh… spoil the surprise, wouldn’t it?

Kate: You’re going to really regret doing this to us.

Marlena: You know that john and steve are gonna rescue us. Do you really think you’re going to win?

Orpheus: We’ll find out soon enough who the winners and losers are. Game’s afoot, ladies. Enjoy your evening.

John: There’s nobody out there.

Steve: Well, that’s no surprise.

John: So, what do we have in the box? Easy. Easy.

Steve: Okay. Okay. Easy.

Roman: Might help if he told us what he expects us to do with this.

Steve: There’s a video.

[Beep]

Orpheus: Good evening, gentlemen. Let the games begin. As you know, I have marlena, kayla, and kate hidden. Somewhere. But, generous soul that I am, I’m gonna give you three a chance to save them. To do so, you’ll have to solve a series of puzzles, which will give you clues you’ll need to discover the location. You’ll have to work quickly, though, because if you fail to achieve your mission within… one hour, well, then something very, very unfortunate will befall the women you love.

Steve: What the hell does that mean?

John: We’re on a time limit, men. Because he’s telling us he’s got a bomb.

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis persists…

Orpheus: So, you’re in a high-pressure situation now. And you must be thinking how meaningless your lives will be should you fail.

[Small laugh] A feeling with which I’m not unfamiliar, by the way. But I have a reasonable amount of confidence that you’ll rise to the occasion, especially since I’ve already given you everything you’ll need to determine the location and eliminate the threat. Good luck, men. Your hour begins… now. Chop-chop.

John: Well, well, well, we got ourselves a live feed.

Roman: Do you guys notice anything in that room that gives away their location?

Steve: Not a thing.

John: And he just made sure that we won’t see anything. All right, guys, we don’t have a choice here. Let’s roll our sleeves up and play his lousy game.

Kayla: What I don’t get is why are you here?

Kate: [Huffs] Because I was at the pub today when orpheus showed up. He must have realized that roman and I were back together again.

Marlena: You are?

Kate: Yes, we are.

Marlena: Hmm.

Kate: And since orpheus holds roman responsible for his wife’s death, he’s probably using me to punish roman.

Kayla: My god.

Kate: I had just left roman’s birthday party to pick him up a cake, and someone comes up behind me and shoves a cloth over my mouth.

Marlena: Hmm. Chloroform. The same thing that happened to sami when lucas kidnapped her.

Kayla: Sounds like it was a bad time for roman to forgive you.

Kate: Well, maybe it was. But I’m glad he did anyway. And marlena, I’m hoping that you’ll be able to forgive me too.

Alex: All right, I’m gonna head out.

Sonny: No, please, stay. I love hearing you go on and on about stephanie.

Alex: You know, she still hasn’t texted me back yet.

Sonny: Well, maybe she’s out buying a bathing suit for the hot tub.

Alex: Ah. I guess it’s back to my original plan.

Sonny: Which was?

Alex: Drinks with allie and chanel. Allie’s your sister-in-law, right? Why don’t you come with?

Sonny: I can’T. I got too much work.

Alex: Why didn’t you tell me? I could have helped you out.

Sonny: Nah, I gotta do it on my own. Stephanie wants a list of things I want her to focus on.

Alex: Did I make the cut?

[Sonny laughs] All right. Burn that midnight oil if you want to. Sonny boy, I know we don’t always see eye-to-eye, but I’m really glad we’re working together. This is where you say, “I’m happy we’re working together, too.”

Sonny: I’m-I’m really happy, too.

Alex: I do love you, you big dummy.

Sonny: Right back at you, dummy.

Leo: So, your ex just disappeared on you?

Stephanie: Never heard from him again.

Leo: Oh, that is appalling. What kind of creep would ghost an enchantress like you?

Stephanie: Kind of you to say, but that’s what he did. It was last fall. Things were getting serious. At least I thought they were. And then he stopped responding to my texts, my messages.

Leo: Ugh. What a cad.

Stephanie: I know, right? I was heartbroken. Spent a lot of time listening to adele. Olivia rodrigo.

Leo: Oh! It is crazy how a teenager could know my heart so well. It’s like she read my diary.

Stephanie: Something tells me a teenager girl might not be ready for your diary.

Leo: Ah. You remind me of my bestie. She and I used to have so much fun together.

Stephanie: Used to?

Leo: We had a falling out recently. It’s kind of my fault.

Stephanie: Aww. I’m sorry. Maybe she’ll come back around.

Leo: I doubt it. I really screwed her over.

Gwen: Chad, please hear me out.

Chad: You know, when a cop’s asking me who might have a motive to kill my wife, your name popped into my head. Because I remembered that you two had had a big fight that day. But I said to myself, gwen wouldn’t be able to break out of statesville, commit a murder, and then break back in. And once again, I underestimated you. I should have known that you would finally get your revenge.

Gwen: No. Please listen to me. I didn’t do it. I didn’t kill abigail.

Chad: Then why did you admit to leo?

Gwen: I didn’t do that either! He just said that lie to get himself off the hook! Please! You have to believe me! Moderate to severe eczema still disrupts my skin.

Gwen: I told rafe the truth.

Chad: No, you are not capable of telling the truth!

Gwen: I swear, I am!

Chad: What, so you went through all of that trouble, by breaking out of prison and putting on a sarah mask so you could give my wife a scare?

Gwen: Yes. Yes. Okay, yes, I-I did do that. But I didn’t want to hurt abigail. I just wanted to frame sarah.

Chad: Why?

Gwen: Because I wanted sarah to be locked away so that she wouldn’t be around xander anymore.

Chad: What, do you think that that puts you in a better light?

Gwen: No. No. Of course not. But chad, I’m telling you the truth. It’s the bloody truth. I swear.

Stephanie: So, what did you do to your friend?

Leo: I think we need another round.

Stephanie: Okay, but then I want details.

Alex: I know I said I would text, and I didn’T. I’m sorry. Chanel, I’m off work now. Why don’t you and allie come join me for a drink? I’m sure you’ll be able to find a sitter. Scratch that thought. Stephanie’s here. I’ll let you know how it goes. Stephanie.

Stephanie: Oh. Hi.

Alex: Hi. Did you get my text?

Stephanie: Yes. And then I deleted it.

Alex: Ah. Well, I mean, we’re both here now. Can I buy you a drink?

Stephanie: Sorry, I’m with someone.

Alex: I thought you said you were too busy to date.

Stephanie: I made an exception.

Alex: Maybe you can make another exception and come hang out with me and ditch this guy. I promise you you will not regret it.

Stephanie: Alex, how many times do I have to tell you that I’m just not into you, at all?

Leo: Girl, are you out of your mind?

Marlena: Do you really think this is a good time to, what, iron out our own personal differences?

Kate: I don’t know why the hell not. We’re stuck here.

Kayla: Yeah, but we could still find a way out.

Kate: Okay, we’ve been trying to find a way out for hours, and we’re still stuck here, okay? So I think it is a good time to iron things out. I don’t know if it’ll make any difference, but I did take responsibility for my actions.

Kayla: How?

Kate: By turning myself in to the police.

Marlena: Really?

Kate: Yeah. They charged me as an accessory after the fact with kidnapping.

Kayla: Well then, why aren’t you in prison?

Kate: Because I’m on probation. I paid a fine, a very big fine, and I have to do 200 hours of community service.

Kayla: Sounds like just a slap on the wrist.

Kate: Okay. The point is I made amends to the community. And…and to roman. So why don’t you tell your friend here that she should forgive me?

Kayla: I’m not gonna do that. ‘Cause I don’t think she should.

Steve: What do we got here? All right. “To find the women you love, think back to when our story began.” When did we first cross paths with orpheus? Mid-’80s, right?

Roman: No, it was earlier than that for me. Orpheus and I partnered up on that mission that went wrong.

John: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Okay, that was just you and him. He’s talking about all three of us here, right?

Roman: Yeah, but that mission was the beginning of everything. It was a very intense, dangerous operation. We were tracking some very dangerous people. One night, I heard someone, and I told them to identify themselves. They didn’T. Turns out it was rebecca. I have no idea why she stayed silent. Even after I yelled again, “identify yourself or I will shoot,” nothing. I said it again, louder. “Identify yourself right now, or I will shoot”–nothing. So I fired in the direction of the noise. You know the rest. So, I’m telling you, the year he wants is 1979.

John: This lockbox here– four-digit combination. What do you want to do? You want to take a stab at 1979?

Steve: Whoa, what if we’re wrong? Will we get another shot?

Roman: Three women’s lives are hanging in the balance here, and he’s playing this like it’s an escape room. Put 1979 in there in that lock, see if it opens.

John: All right, we’re on it. Brace yourself. Nice! Good job, roman, all right.

Steve: That’s good, because we still don’t know where our wives are or what kind of bomb we’re dealing with, and we’ve only got an hour.

Roman: Less than that now. Alright, the reason your dishes

John: “Because of you three, I lost valuable time with the people I love most in the world. So you can count on the same thing happening to you if you fail to…decipher this puzzle. All roads lead back to those broken bonds.”

Steve: Okay, we know the people he’s talking about are his wife rebecca, his kids evan and zoey. We just need to figure out what to do with that information.

John: Yeah, well, we don’t have anything else to go on. There’s no more lockboxes here, and all we got is a tin snips, probably to diffuse the bomb.

Steve: What now, mr. Escape room?

Roman: I think the key word is “count,” as in we need to convert the letters of his loved ones’ names into numbers.

John: You know, I think you’re right. “Count.” Because he uses the word “decipher,” as in cipher.

Steve: Okay, how much time do we have?

John: Less than half an hour.

Steve: We gotta work fast. Okay.

John: Work your magic, patch. Come on.

Steve: Evan. Zoey.

Kate: What the hell, kayla? Well, what difference does it make? I mean, it’s up to marlena anyway. You know, kayla’s never liked me. But I thought that you and I had a relationship. We were friends. At least I thought we were.

Kayla: You know, kate, I have never disliked you, even though there was a number of reasons that I should have. Let’s just start with you framing sami for the death penalty.

Kate: Ha. Well, I paid for that, because I lost everything.

Kayla: Yeah, and as soon as you climbed out of the hole, you were right back to your old ways. You blackmailed tripp. And then you knew that steve was stefano, and you kept quiet about it.

Kate: In the end, I tried to do the right thing, just like I did now. You know, no one’s perfect. Not even the two of you, kayla.

Marlena: Well, she’s right.

Kayla: What?

Marlena: She’s right. And if… if roman can forgive you, I guess I can too.

Kate: Thank you. And thanks for nothing, sweetness.

Kayla: Oh, yeah.

Leo: I don’t mean to interrupt, but how could you not be into this man? I mean…

Alex: This is your date?

Stephanie: Yeah. It is.

Alex: You look familiar.

Leo: I do?

Stephanie: Alex, this is matt.

Alex: No, no, this isn’t matt. This is leo stark.

Leo: I think you have me confused with somebody else.

Alex: What the hell are you trying to pull?

Leo: Whoa, whoa, whoa–

Stephanie: Whoa! Let him go!

Alex: No. Do you have any idea what this creep has done?

Leo: Wait, if you’re talking about abigail dimera’s murder, I was exonerated.

Stephanie: Wait, you were a suspect in my cousin’s murder?

Leo: And then I was exonerated–that’s the key word. Not guilty. Will you kindly let me go?

Alex: You were not exonerated for what you did to my little brother’s life.

Leo: Your little brother?

Alex: Sonny kiriakis, the guy you drugged and took filthy pictures of.

Stephanie: Oh my god!

Alex: Do you have any idea how long I’ve been waiting to get my hands on you?

Leo: Oh, if only you were saying those words under different circumstances.

Alex: I’m gonna beat your ass.

Leo: If only you were saying those words under different circumstances.

Stephanie: Alex, please, just let him go.

Leo: Thanks, stephanie.

Stephanie: It’s not for your sake, “matt.” It’s for his.

Leo: For the record, matthew is my given name.

Alex: Get out of my sight before I change my mind. And leo, if I see you again, I’m gonna kill you.

Leo: I just paid for my–

Alex: Get out.

Leo: [Huffs] Beg furious with abigail that day. I had asked her for one simple favor. I wanted her to deliver a birthday present to our father. But instead, she smashed it.

Chad: You convinced jack that abby was responsible for your miscarriage. I think that’s worse.

Gwen: Yes. Yes. Yes, it was. But I never wanted to hurt her. I would never, ever take my own sister’s life.

Chad: What, you have standards now?

Gwen: I haven’t killed anyone.

Chad: What about laura?

Gwen: I didn’t do that! I-I said that I did to abigail, but I didn’T. I was just so very angry.

Chad: You really are a monster.

Gwen: Look, I am trying to tell you what happened that night. I tried to pass myself off as sarah, but abigail saw through it, and she ripped the mask off my face. So I begged her to just let me go back to statesville and I would never bother her again, and she agreed.

Chad: Why would she do that?

Gwen: Because she’s abigail. As awful as I was to her, she still gave me another chance.

Chad: Now that, I believe.

Gwen: Then believe this too. Chad, when I left your room that day, abigail was still alive. Some days, it felt like asthma was holding me back.

Chad: Why would leo tell rafe that you admitted to it?

Gwen: I-I-I have no idea. Honestly, the last time we spoke, leo said that he was gonna have his lawyer represent me, and instead he said that stupid lie, and he sold me out. You know…you know, I’ve been wondering if that lawyer…if that lawyer convinced him to go against me.

Chad: Why would you think that?

Gwen: The district attorney made it no secret that she wanted to charge leo and I as co-conspirators. Maybe his stupid, slimy lawyer convinced leo that giving evidence against me was his only way out. Maybe-maybe leo was so afraid that the truth would come out if he didn’t set me up. And that truth is that he killed abigail.

Leo: [Singsong] Ding dong!

Sonny: How the hell did you get past security?

Leo: I used to work here, remember? I know all the secret ins and outs.

Sonny: What the hell do you want?

Leo: I just had a run-in with your big, strapping brother. I was afraid he was gonna rip my head off.

Sonny: Can you blame him? After everything you did to me and will?

Leo: Oh, you got even. More than even. You broke up craig and me. So I don’t think your brother should be attacking me in public. I was making a new friend. He ruined that, too.

Sonny: What do you expect me to do?

Leo: Ask him to back off, maybe not kill me. He threatened to. He did.

Sonny: And why would I help you? Hmm? You won’t even admit that you drugged me, let alone apologize for it.

Leo: If I had drugged you– speaking hypothetically, of course–I would admit that that would not have been a very nice thing to do.

[Sonny laughs] I was lost without craig. And all I could do was think about getting back at the people who took him from me. But after abigail died, I realized that revenge isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. Life is too short to hold a grudge. So…I was hoping that we could be friends. Do you think that’s possible?

Stephanie: I admit that I was impressed by the way you stood up for sonny.

Alex: He’s my kid brother.

Stephanie: I can’t believe I was knocking back drinks with the guy who did those things to him. I actually thought I made a friend.

Alex: So, he’s not your date.

Stephanie: Okay, I lied.

Alex: Well, I lied, too. I hate cosmos. But my mother taught me never to waste booze because it was a mortal sin.

Stephanie: Here. You earned it.

Kayla: I just wish I knew what kind of game orpheus was playing.

Orpheus: I’m so glad you asked. Sorry to eavesdrop, but I thought you’d appreciate an update. Earlier tonight, roman brady, steve johnson, and john black received a puzzle. Now, if they succeed in solving it, it will lead them here, which gives your white knights a fighting chance at saving you…before the bomb goes off.

Kate: What bomb?

Orpheus: The one in the electrical panel to your right. I gave them a time limit and, sadly, they aren’t here yet. And time is growing short. I don’t think they’re gonna make it, ladies. So, I wanted to wish you all a fond farewell. It was fun while it lasted.

Kayla: No, wait–you can’t do this to us!

Orpheus: Sorry, blue eyes. I hope your men don’t feel too guilty about failing all of you. But I don’t see how they’ll avoid it. Ciao.

Marlena: Orpheus!

Kate: Oh my god, we’re gonna die here. Oh my god.

Steve: Okay, total up all the number values. Comes to 150.

Roman: Okay. Building address.

John: Yeah, we can only hope.

Roman: How do we find the street name?

John: You know, I’m thinking about something. “All the roads lead back to those broken bonds.”

Steve: Broken bonds.

John: Stockholm. Orpheus is talking about the treasury bonds he was looking for in stockholm.

Steve: Right, right, right. Is there a stockholm street in salem?

Roman: Yes to stockholm. No to 150.

[John exhales]

Steve: Wait, I know I totaled these numbers right. Zoey. Does zoey have a “y” at the end?

John: Yeah, yeah, zoey’s got a “Y.”

Steve: Okay. What is it then?

John: Evan. Evan’s wrong. Evan’s not his given name. His given name is… it’s christian. Nine letters. C-h-r-I-s-t-I-a-N.

Steve: Okay, how much time do we have?

John: Less than half an hour.

Steve: Okay, that’s 209.

Roman: Okay, there is a 209 stockholm street. Okay? Thank god they’re in salem. We don’t have much time.

Steve: All we have is his word–his could be a trap.

John: We don’t have a choice.

Steve: Okay, take it easy. I was taking my antidepressant daily,

Gwen: Think about it, chad. We all know that leo was camping out in your basement, right? And yes, yes, you are right when you say that I told him how to get there–but I didn’t think he was gonna kill her, i didn’t do it because I wanted him to kill her. He had no money–

Chad: Don’t! Don’t do that! You knew that he hated me and abby and sonny for breaking up him and craig.

Gwen: Yes, yes, I know. I did know that. He did come and see me in statesville, and he asked me to help him come up with a plan.

Chad: To what? To get us? What did you say?

Gwen: I said that I’d–i would think about it. But I didn’t think he was gonna hurt anyone. But now it’s obvious that he did want to do that. He did it, chad. He murdered your wife as payback.

Sonny: Hmm. Okay. You want to be friends now. That’s-that’s convenient.

Leo: What does that mean?

Sonny: Oh, that this kinder, gentler leo is just an act you’re putting on in case the cops do decide, hey, maybe you really did kill abigail.

Leo: I didn’t kill her. It was gwen.

Sonny: If you say so.

Leo: I hated ratting out my best friend, but I was not gonna go down for something I didn’t do. Gwen will never forgive me, but…I’m hoping you will. Sonny, I am truly sorry for everything I have ever done for you.

Sonny: Oh, too little too late.

Leo: Okay. Well, if we can’t be friends, can we at least not be enemies?

Sonny: You know what, fine. I forgive you. Not that I’ll ever trust you.

Leo: And will you convey our detente to your brother?

Sonny: You won’t have to worry about him.

Leo: Wonderful. Have a lovely evening, jackson. You will always be my favorite ex-husband.

Alex: You were a racecar driver?

Stephanie: Totally different lifetime. And I was no danica patrick, but I had a good run.

Alex: Just when I thought you couldn’t get any sexier.

Stephanie: Don’t start.

Alex: The offer still stands. Hot tub. Champagne.

Stephanie: Are you kidding me?

Alex: What? Thought we were vibing.

Stephanie: We’re having a friendly, casual conversation. That doesn’t mean I’m suddenly into you. I think I’ve made it very clear where I stand.

Alex: I know. But I think we’re making progress.

Stephanie: Sorry, pal. You thought wrong.

Kate: We could blow up any second.

[Pop pop pop]

Kayla: Do you hear that? There’s shooting out there.

[Women scream]

John: Here! Here!

Marlena: John!

Roman: Kate!

Steve: Hey, baby.

Kayla: Thank god, thank god.

Steve: Do you know where the bomb is?

Kayla: It’s in the electrical panel on the wall over there. See it? Careful. Careful.

Steve: Okay.

John: You okay, baby? You all right? Let’s get you out of here.

Steve: All right. We got less than a minute.

Marlena: Oh god.

Steve: So many wires– I don’t know which color to cut. That bastard. He said he gave us everything we needed to know.

John: Did he say anything at all that referenced colors? Anything about colors?

Kayla: He called me “blue eyes”–he has never done that.

John: Try it.

Steve: Okay, that works for me. Blue. Still going.

Roman: 22 seconds.

John: What else?

Kate: Is there a white wire? Because he called you guys “white knights.”

Steve: White. Got it. Oh no.

Roman: 14 seconds.

Marlena: What about-what about black for john black?

Steve: Black.

Roman: Six seconds.

John: Come on, man.

Steve: Got it.

[Overlapping exclamations]

Roman: All right! Way to go!

Marlena: Oh my god. Ohh…ohh… I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Kate: Oh, you’re my hero!

Roman: I’m sorry I got you in this.

Kayla: Oh!

Steve: Did he hurt you?

Kayla: Thank you. No, I’m good now that you’re here. Good, good.

Marlena: Oh! John, I was so scared.

John: Baby, it’s over, baby. It’s all over now. It’s all over, baby.

[Ominous music]

[Overlapping chatter]

John: Okay, that was close.

Orpheus: How touching.

Marlena: So well done. All of you.

Orpheus: But I’m sorry, john. The games have just begun.

Stephanie: I should get going. First day on a new job tomorrow.

Alex: You can be late. I’ll write you a note.

Stephanie: Would you just give up? I’m not just gonna fall into your arms because you’re handsome. Maybe that works on other women, but not me.

Alex: She thinks I’m handsome. Yes!

Chad: Do you really think that I’m gonna take your word about leo or anything? You lie for a living!

Gwen: Chad, I am telling you it was leo, okay? Do you know that he made a list? He made a list, after craig left him, of all the people that he wanted to get even with. He was obsessed with this list. Abigail was on it, and so were you, and so was sonny and brady and chloe. And I’m telling you, if someone doesn’t go after him now, he’s gonna keep checking those names off that list. All of you should be watching your backs.

Leo: Oh, sonny? I forgot to ask, do you validate? The parking rates here–sonny? My hit list. How did this get here? And what is this on it? Blood? Oh my god, sonny! We need yours.

[ Dramatic music ]

Deacon: Take it easy there, stumble-dore. You don’t have a nasty fall.

Sheila: You think it’s wise to tease a woman that’s willing to cut off her own toe to stay out of prison?

Deacon: You know, sheila, I’m not even gonna mention the creep factor, having your little friend over there. But I mean, the lengths that you’ll go to– to get what you want, it’s disturbing.

Sheila: You should remember that, handsome.

Li: Sheila’s pure evil. She was pure evil. Still scares the hell outta me that she almost took you from me.

Finn: I know. I know. Me too, but I’m here. Okay. We’re here.

Li: You know, I’m actually surprised you chose this restaurant of all places given what happened in the alley.

Finn: No, but I’m not gonna let that night define the rest of my life. Plus, this place has the best ravioli in L.A., So.

Li: How do you do that? No matter what happens, your light… your warmth never dims.

Finn: I mean, I’m just– I’m grateful, mom. And now more than ever, I have this amazing second chance at life. And it’s all because of you.

Brooke: Douglas is spending another night at eric’s?

Hope: He said he was having a great time.

Brooke: And you’re comfortable with that?

Hope: I am trying to keep an open mind. And besides, I’ve always wanted him to have a strong relationship with his father.

Liam: Yeah. We want that too, but thomas getting quality time with his son, it’s not exactly the concern.

Brooke: I am getting worried that thomas has no intention of bringing douglas home.

Taylor: You know, douglas, these are so good. You’re– you’re really good at this.Nd and I’m not just saying that because you’re my grandson. Like these are spectacular.

Douglas: I’m sorry, I didn’t make you an outer space painting. When I got back from the playground with kelly, there were– all the paints were gone. I guess maybe one of the housekeepers threw it away by accident.

Eric: Yeah. Maybe that’s what happened here. Yeah, that’s like– stuff like that happens from time to time. Don’t worry about it.

Thomas: You’d be surprised how often.

Taylor: Yeah, but you know what? Today, I am gonna go and get you all new supplies, smocks and paints and– and the works, you know?

Douglas: Yes.

Taylor: Paint can get really messy when you’re on a mission.

Eric: You know, you’re really a wonderful artist. You really are. You are, uh, definitely a forrester.

Douglas: Well, thank you for letting me stay here the last night, great-granddad.

Eric: You don’t have to thank me. You can stay here anytime you want. This is your home too.

Douglas: I’m having so much fun here and the best time with dad.

Li: Oh.

Finn: What? What, do I have sauce on my shirt?

Li: Well, maybe a little.

Finn: Where? I don’t have any– are you serious? Are you serious? I don’t have.

Li: Where do you think you get your sense of humor? It’s just to see you healthy and happy is all I hope for. It’s a miracle you’re alive.

Finn: I guess that makes you a miracle worker.

Sheila: Finn is still my whole life. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about him. I can’t go back to prison. I’ve already missed too much of his life.

Deacon: What are you talking about?

Sheila: Oh, my god. Well, to– to think that I could see him strong and healthy again.

Deacon: Are you– are you insane? Don’t even answer that. If finn even gets a glimpse of you, that whole bear mauling death hoax thing, the one that necessitated you cutting off one of your little piglets. Guess what? That gets torn to shreds.

Sheila: Yeah. Well, you– I have a disguise. Do you remember that?

Deacon: Okay. Don’t get cocky, all right? I was drunk and hope said that you looked familiar when she came in here. Great.

Sheila: What?

Deacon: My phone’s dead and I need it for work. Look, just lie low. Don’t do anything that’s gonna risk getting us thrown back in prison.

Liam: By the way, I hope you don’t feel like we’re ganging up on you.

Hope: No, I don’T. I know you’re worried and I am too. It’s just–

Brooke: Douglas has been with thomas for days. It is time for him to come home.

Hope: And I agree. I actually talked to thomas yesterday and expressed my concerns.

Brooke: And?

Hope: He asked me to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Brooke: Honey, haven’t you been doing that for years? After everything he’s put you through.

Hope: Thomas has changed though.

Brooke: Okay. Maybe he’s trying to change, but definitely not enough to have that little boy alone.

Hope: Thomas actually suggested that I go to eric’s and see just how great a time that douglas has with him there.

Eric: You know, douglas, as long as it’s okay with your father and mother, you can stay here as long as you want. And I promise there’ll always be a lot of art supplies. Lots of paint, lots of brushes.

Douglas: Can we paint together?

Eric: Absolutely. As long as you remember one thing, you have to remember who taught your father and your grandfather everything they know.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Douglas: Okay. Can we do it now?

Thomas: Wait. Oh, hold on. You got reading to finish. Come on. Let’s get to it.

Douglas: Okay. But after?

Eric: Absolutely. That’s a great kid.

Thomas: Yeah, he is.

Eric: He reminds me of you when you were his age. Curious and eager.

Taylor: Yeah. It’s no wonder you guys get along so well.

Thomas: We’ve lost so much time together and it– it’s great having this time, but you know, I don’t– I don’t wanna be apart from my son another day.

Li: You know, it’s understandable that sheila’s death is complicated for you, sweetheart. She was a monster, but she was also your birth mother.

Finn: I mean, I’d always hoped to find out where I came from. I just never thought in a million years it would be someone like her. You know, she showed up on my wedding day. That’s the best day of my life. And it’s just been one nightmare after another.

Li: It’s finally over.

Finn: It is. But do I feel conflicted? I wish things were different. I wish she was different. I’d hope to find some good in her somewhere. I mean, that’s– that’s why I held on for so long. But there wasn’t, it was just darkness. And she tried to kill steffy. She shot me. She almost killed you.

Li: Thank god the nightmare is finally over. Sheila is dead, and we’re finally free.

Sheila: Deacon, I assure you that I’m being very careful. I didn’t go through the trouble of cutting off my own toe to do something stupid that was gonna put me back in prison.

Deacon: Yeah. Which is exactly what we’ll be if you get caught.

Sheila: My disguise works.

Deacon: You got lucky.

Sheila: No, you got lucky. You fell for it. You fell for me. Hope fell for it too.

Deacon: Hope said you look familiar. She was trying to figure out where she knew you from.

Sheila: She didn’t recognize me. Hope looked me dead in the eyes and she didn’t have a clue who I was.

Brooke: So, thomas wants you to go over to eric’s so that he can prove to you that douglas should be living with him. Hope, you can’t let that happen.

Hope: I know. Mom, I know. This is douglas’s home. This is where he belongs. He has a little sister who’s missing him, but I also don’t wanna start some nasty custody battle.

Liam: That you’ll win.

Hope: Well, we don’t know that, and either way, it will be very difficult for douglas. I just want him happy and healthy.

Brooke: Honey, that’s what we all want. And you and liam, you’ve created this wonderful environment here where he has flourished. Thomas wanting douglas to be with him is more about thomas than douglas.

Hope: And that is why I’m taking him up on his offer.

Liam: Wait, you’re going over to eric’s?

Hope: To pay them a surprise visit.

Thomas: You know, when I came back to L.A., I– I– I did a lot of things I’m not proud of. Douglas needed a stable home and hope and liam provided him that.

Eric: They did a great job with douglas.

Thomas: I wasn’t fit to raise him on my own.

Taylor: Yeah. But look at you now. You– you got help and you did a lot of hard work, so.

Thomas: Yeah. It’s ’cause I love douglas more than anything in the world. I wanna be the kind of father he can be proud of. The kind of father he deserves, you know? And– and I think I am now. Right? If I didn’t think I was ready, then I wouldn’t be doing this. I wouldn’t be pushing for this, but I am. He’s lived with– with hope for so long and– and it’s time for him to live with me.

Eric: Well, I hate to say this, but you could be in for a pretty long, difficult custody battle.

Thomas: Yeah. I hope it doesn’t come to that. I believe I can convince hope that this is where douglas belongs.

Without the right start

to your day…

Li: Thank you. I really enjoy our get-togethers. I just– just wish we didn’t spend the whole time talking about sheila.

Finn: Yeah. Yeah. But you know, I think it’s good to get it all out. You know, it’s healthy. It’s– she’s been such a weight on all of our lives.

Li: I hate that you went through all of this.

Finn: Yeah, me too. But I’ve been talking with taylor and now she says it’s important to try and find the silver lining when one reflects on traumatic events.

Li: Silver lining?

Finn: Yeah. Like how the good in us push through. You know, even when it was dark. I took a bullet for my wife. I saved steffy’s life and now we’re back together. And after she thought she lost me forever, that– that deepened our love beyond words. Not so different than a mother doing everything she could to save her son’s life, risking her own life to do so. I can’t describe to you how much I love you.

Li: I love you too.

Finn: But, now we’re free. And we never have to worry about sheila again.

Deacon: Okay. I’m gonna head down to work. Sheila, please. Pretty please. Just– just stay here. Don’t do anything that’s gonna wind up putting us back behind bars.

Sheila: I glad your confidence in me is just exhilarating.

Deacon: You know, you’ve done some terrible things in your life, but I have never doubted how much you love finn. I know that you wanna have–

Sheila: No, I– I need.

Deacon: You need to see him again, but you can’T. It’s too dangerous. Be good

Sheila: Deacon. Deacon.

Brooke: So, how are you handling all of this?

Liam: Uh, you know, it’s fine. I’m fine. I– you know, I– I don’t wanna push too hard, but I also trust hope implicitly whatever she ends up deciding.

Brooke: But?

Liam: But, I don’t trust thomas and I never have and I never will. And we’re talking about douglas’s health and well-being here, so.

Brooke: Yeah, I agree.

Liam: Here’s– here’s the thing. Hope has this amazing ability as you know, to forgive, right? She can look at anyone and see the good in them. And I just– I just– I don’t want thomas taking advantage of that and convincing her to let him keep douglas full-time.

Brooke: Okay. So we can’t let that happen. I fear for that boy if he’s taken from the home that you and hope have created.

Thomas: I wanna thank you for always being there for me. It’s hard. Sometimes, some people only see you at your worst.

Taylor: Yeah. But there are only a few of those. Okay? And I will always support you because I’m your mom. And I believe with all my heart that you can provide a loving home for your son. And that’s what he is. He’s your son.

Thomas: Hope.

Hope: Hi.

Thomas: Hi.

Taylor: Hi, hope. I will give you guys some time.

Thomas: Okay. Come on in.

Hope: So I, um, wanted to take you up on your offer. I stopped by so I could see what it’s like here for douglas.

Thomas: Wow. I– thank you so much. I know this isn’t exactly easy for you. The fact that you’re trying it– it means so much to me. Thanks for giving me a chance. For giving douglas and me a chance. I’m steve.

Liam: You know what’s funny is that after all this time, I still just– I hate thomas and hope alone together. I hate it. And I know– I mean, I gue– I know that the guy’s been working on himself and to some degree, he’s changed.

Brooke: Deep down though, you still feel that he’s in love with her, still obsessed with her. It would be foolish not to keep her guard up.

Liam: Yes. But in this one instance, I am totally supportive of hope going over there because I want her to see with her own eyes what the deal is with thomas and douglas.

Hope: So, what have you two been up to?

Thomas: We’ve been having so much fun. We’ve been reading, uh, hiking, swimming. I mean, douglas is just having a great time.

Douglas: Dad, dad, dad, dad.

Thomas: What?

Douglas: You’re never gonna believe this, but did you know that spiders aren’t insects? They’re animals.

Thomas: What?

Douglas: Oh, mom!

Hope: Hey.

Thomas: What are you doing here?

Hope: Oh, I just– I miss you.

Douglas: I miss you too. Same for liam and beth, but I’m having so much fun here. Thank you for letting me stay here.

[Hope chuckles]

Hope: Oh.

[Thomas chuckles]

Deacon: Excuse me, sir. If you’re done with that, I’ll be happy to–

Finn: Deacon. Hey, man. Come here. I, um, you know what? I– I still haven’t thanked you.

Deacon: No, no, come on. It’s okay.

Finn: It is not okay. I mean, I– you saved my life. I’ve been meaning to reach out and I just have–

Deacon: Listen, coming back from the dead, it’s busy work.

Finn: Yeah. Yeah. But you saved my entire world and if you hadn’t come, steffy and I, we would’ve–

Deacon: I was at the right place at the right time. You are the walking miracle.

Finn: No. Well, it’s a miracle that wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t called 9-1-1.

Deacon: I’m just glad you’re okay. How– how you feeling?

Finn: I’m good. I’m good. I’m just taking it one day at a time.

Deacon: It’s gotta be incredible to be back with your wife and your kids and I hear your mom’s doing okay too.

Finn: Yeah, she is. Um, my mother’s a strong woman.

Deacon: I– I’m just so sorry you guys had to go through this. I can’t even believe it.

Finn: It has been easier to do now that sheila no longer a threat. I assume you heard through hope that sheila, she– she died?

Deacon: Yeah.

Finn: Something wrong?

Abby: Nick. Hey.

Nick: Hey. You getting ready for the dinner rush?

Abby: Yeah. We’re down a hostess. Are you here by yourself?

Nick: I was having lunch earlier with dad and vick. I just stuck around for a while.

Abby: Ah.

Nick: Have you talked to chance recently? I tried to call him earlier. Went straight to voicemail.

Abby: Uh, yeah, I was with him earlier, but then he got called in to work, so that’s probably why he didn’t answer his phone.

Nick: That makes sense.

Abby: We had a mini first birthday celebration for dominic at the park.

Nick: Has it been a year already?

Abby: I know. Can you believe it?

[ Chuckles ]

Nick: Oh, man. You know, what I can’t believe is that you didn’t invite his favorite uncle to the party. I missed all the cake, the balloons, everything.

Abby: Well, don’t worry. We’re gonna have a bigger celebration with the extended family when things calm down a bit.

Nick: You are crazy if you think things are ever gonna calm down with the newmans. Hey. You okay?

Chelsea: I know. It’s so good to hear your voice, too, connor.

[ Exhales heavily ] I just can’t wait for you to come home. But I’m — I’m gonna let you go. Just know that I love you and i miss you more than you could possibly imagine. Okay. I’ll see you soon. I love you. Bye.

[ Breathing heavily ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Sniffles ]

Chance: Hey, chelsea. You alright?

Allie: Man, I have to say, moving out to genoa city turned out to have so many more upsides than I ever expected.

Noah: Present company included?

Allie: Oh, yes.

Noah: [ Sighs ]

Allie: What?

Noah: Nothing.

Allie: Say it.

Noah: No, nothing. It’s —

Allie: No. Say it.

Noah: I was gonna make a lame chemistry joke, but stopped myself in time, considering my poor attempts at humor almost tanked us in the beginning.

Allie: Well, that was then, and this is now. I insist on hearing your lame joke.

Noah: Mnh-mnh, it was so bad, I already forgot it.

Allie: Well, maybe — maybe you can forensically reconstruct it. Go ahead. I’ll wait.

Noah: [ Breathes deeply ]

Allie: Remember when we first started dating and you told me that your sense of humor was an acquired taste?

Noah: Mm-hmm.

Allie: Well, I think I have definitely acquired the taste.

Noah: No, no, things are going too well. I can’t risk it.

Allie: Oh, so you do remember it.

Noah: Yeah.

Allie: Well, tell me.

Noah: No.

Allie: Tell me. Otherwise, I will —

Noah: Or else what? What are you gonna do? You gonna tickle it out of me, huh?

Allie: Oh, don’t you tempt me!

Chelsea: To answer your question, I’m not having a great day, and you’re not the first person to notice, which makes me realize I’m not doing a great job of coping.

[ Sighs ] You know, it’s like, right when you think you have a handle on things…

[ Sniffles ]

Chance: Yeah. You know, I’ve worked undercover for so long, you’d think I’d be good at masking my emotions, but nope, especially with abby. She can just see right through me, you know?

Chelsea: Well, yeah. And you shouldn’t keep anything from your wife. She loves you so much. You both are very lucky to have each other.

Chance: Do you mind if I sit?

Chelsea: That’s sweet, but you don’t have to try to make me feel better.

Chance: Well, the person I’m supposed to meet — he’s not here yet. So, I could go stand at the other side of the bar if you’d like me to, but it feels a little silly.

Chelsea: Okay, then. Be my guest.

[ Keys clacking ]

[ Knock on door ]

Jack: Adam. Hey, come on in.

Adam: Well, thanks for carving out time for me.

Jack: If you wanted to meet for the reason I think, you could be my favorite appointment all day long.

Adam: Well, the co-ceo position, as you mentioned. Like I said in my voicemail, I’ve been giving it some more thought.

Jack: Please tell me you’ve changed your mind.

Adam: That’s exactly why I’m here. If it still stands.

Jack: It still absolutely stands. Welcome aboard. For copd,

provided by… my blood pressure is borderline.

Abby: I’m great. You, on the other hand…

Nick: What about me?

Abby: [ Sighs ] Well, just after everything that you went through that night, I’ve just — I’ve been worried about you.

Nick: I’m alright.

Abby: Look, I hope you don’t mind me saying this, but that sounds a lot like the assurances that chance used to make when he got home from spain. “Hey, everything’s fine.” But it really wasn’t that simple.

Nick: I guess…what I did — you know, it really weighs on me.

Abby: I hope that you know that you were justified in protecting our sister.

Nick: I know, abby, but living with the knowledge of taking another man’s life, whether I intended to or not, is hard.

Abby: And I’m sure it’s only natural to have those thoughts, but you are a good person. And you just got caught up in the middle of a terrible, violent situation. You had to make a snap judgment call, and you did what you had to do. And what makes me so angry is that ashland is still tormenting all of us from beyond the grave.

Nick: Well, our father doesn’t seem like he’s tortured with regret.

Abby: You know dad. He doesn’t second-guess his decisions.

Nick: No, he doesn’T.

Abby: And in case it helps, you’re not the only one feeling this way. Chance is struggling with it, too.

Chance: Yeah, I totally know how it feels when the world is just coming at you. You know, it feels like it’s too much. And then just the littlest thing tips the scale. Done for the day.

Chelsea: Yep. You caught me having a moment when you walked in, but I’ll get past it. You know, people assume, because of my past and because of my recent stay in a mental hospital —

Chance: Oh, I wasn’t judging, by the way. You just seem distressed. You know, it happens to everybody. And as far as that goes, I think you’d be surprised to know that I’m actually seeing a therapist for my own mental-health issues.

Chelsea: Good for you. Because of what you went through in spain?

Chance: Yeah. Yeah. And I’ll admit it, I definitely got pushed into the whole getting help thing.

Chelsea: Huh. What a coincidence. Me too!

Chance: But you know what? I’m glad I did it ’cause this guy, he’s just — you know, he’s making me see things in a new light. He’s definitely made me realize that I don’t have the control that I thought I did over the universe. I don’t have any, to tell you the truth.

Chelsea: Wow. Your therapist sounds really good. Mine was just so-so.

Chance: Oh, I’m sorry about that.

Chelsea: So, give me some words of wisdom.

Chance: Yeah. Um, alright. Well…I think the most important thing that I came away with is that things — they don’t always work out the way that you think they should, right? You can play by the rules. You can do everything right. But there are just scenarios where the rules aren’t adequate to address what’s going on. You know, people — they get stuff thrown at them all the time. And sometimes they just can’t handle it. So, you can either waste time and energy by getting worked up, getting upset. Or you can just accept the fact that that’s life. That’s part of it. You move on, and you look for solutions. Easier said than done. That’s for sure.

Chelsea: Well, that’s where i keep getting stuck, you know? Everyone keeps saying, “just put one foot in front of the other,” but no one tells you the right path to take. So, I choose a path, and then it gets cut off before I’ve gotten anywhere.

Chance: And then once you’ve chosen that path, you can’t reverse course out of there, right? The way back is blocked. Yeah. You know, whenever I start to feel lost like that, what really helps me I try to look for these little things, you know, little, tiny moments that’ll either give you some hope, some strength. I don’t know. Most of the time, it’s usually something about my son.

Chelsea: Yeah. For me, too. I don’t know what I would do without connor.

Jack: We can talk about the bonus structure in more detail. First, I want to know that the year-one salary is to your liking.

Adam: Uh, I think I can live with it.

Jack: Good. That’s what I want to hear. I am glad I held out hope that you would change your mind. You didn’t make me wait too long.

Adam: Luckily, the stars aligned for both of us. So, um, when would you like me to start?

Jack: How’s yesterday work for you?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Tomorrow it is then.

Jack: Glad to hear it. Look, as far as divvying up responsibilities, I can tell you what kyle and I set up, or we can start from scratch. As a matter of fact, that’s probably a better idea, given your years of management experience and your relative lack of experience in the cosmetics industry.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Before we dive into all that, i just — I have a few — and i hesitate to call them reservations, but —

Jack: You got questions, I have answers. What’s on your mind?

Adam: Well, for starters, we haven’t touched on how the rest of your family is going to react, jack. They tend not to be fans of mine. You know I’m used to dealing with skepticism and distrust, but I just — I don’t want to be the cause of any difficulties for you.

Jack: Thank you for your concern. You have nothing to worry about. In the event that you changed your mind and decided to take the job, I convinced them this was a good idea.

Adam: Them? Ashley, kyle, et cetera everybody?

Jack: Most of them. Look, I’m just happy you didn’t take the other project, since I’m guessing it was something to get back at victor.

Adam: Well, that’s more of a hobby than a career move.

Jack: Adam, as a friend and a soon-to-be colleague, I am telling you it is long past time for you to leave that obsession behind. I have bigger things for you to do.

Billy: Jackie! It’s 5:00 somewhere! Let’s get a drink! What are you doing here?

Adam: Your brother and I — we were just shooting the breeze.

Billy: Well, I’m sure that’s not true.

Jack: Adam and I were having a little business discussion. Could I get a rain check?

Billy: Oh, god. You’re seriously gonna do this, aren’t you? Mornings are our time,

Jack: Billy, I think you and I agreed this is my decision. I am delighted that adam has decided to join me at the helm.

Billy: So, he’s just decided? So, it’s not actually final yet? That’s good, jack. You can change your mind.

Adam: You know, he is right, jack. We haven’t signed anything, so if you have any reservations —

Jack: I don’T. Adam and I were just working out the terms of his deal. There has been no announcement, but as far as I’m concerned, this is official.

[ Cellphone ringing ] I will contact legal about getting a contract going.

Adam: Sounds good.

Jack: Guys, if you will forgive me, I have to take this call. Can you give me the office? Hey, doug. Been expecting your call.

[ Door closes ]

Billy: You know I don’t trust you. I really never have. So, whatever this is, whatever you have planned, know that i will be watching your every move.

Adam: I don’t know how you expect to do that since you haven’t worked here yourself in years. Why does it even matter to you who jack hires?

Billy: It matters very much, adam. This is my family company. This is my father’s legacy. And you destroy everything you touch.

Adam: Well, you shouldn’t worry about that. I mean, if jabot can survive you, it can probably survive just about anything.

[ Door opens ]

Jack: I just e-mailed legal to start drafting a contract, so that’s in the works.

Adam: Excellent.

Jack: In the meantime, i think maybe it’s time for you and I to have a celebratory drink. Billy, you’re more than welcome to join us.

Billy: I’d rather have a root canal.

Jack: Suit yourself. Shall we?

[ Elevator doors open ]

[ Elevator doors close ]

Nick: I know chance has some regrets about his decision to wrap things up.

Abby: It was a tough call. But I was hoping, once he made it, he’d be able to put the guilt behind him, but it’s still haunting him.

Nick: [ Sighs ] I really hate hearing that, abby.

Abby: He was so preoccupied at dominic’s birthday party, and when I asked him about it, he admitted that he was having a hard time with all of this. And I am trying so hard to be supportive. Chance is all about integrity, and that’s one of the things i admire most about him. But there is integrity in what he did and standing by his family. I see the value in family, where he sees it as a conflict of interest.

Nick: Did he, uh, say anything else?

Abby: No, not really. We were in the middle of hashing things out, but he got a call that he had a meeting with an informant from one of rey’s old cases, so he had to go, which was probably a good thing because things were getting pretty tense. It’s just so clear to me that he did the right thing by standing by his family. And every time I bring it up, every time I thank him for it, it just — it hits a nerve.

Nick: Yeah. Well, uh, maybe don’t mention it. You know, if it bothers him, just let it go.

Abby: I just — I don’t understand why he can’t see it the way that I do. Ashland’s death — it was a mistake. It was an accident. I mean, chance has admitted that himself. He has no qualms about it. So, dropping the case — that seems like the right thing to do. I mean, no one gets charged with a crime that happened in the heat of the moment. And it’s a win-win. But if chance keeps regretting it — I mean, even worse, if he re-opens the case — what does that mean for our father?

Nick: You know what? I’ll, uh — I’ll talk to chance, see if I can ease his mind.

Abby: No, nick, please. Please don’t pressure chance. It’s not gonna help.

Nick: No. I won’T.

Abby: Promise me?

Nick: I swear it, abby. Look, I get where you’re coming from. It was a big problem with phyllis and me because we had different feelings about my family. She really started resenting it when I showed any loyalty to them whatsoever, especially dad. But you and chance — you’ve got something real good here. Don’t let this come between you, okay?

Abby: That’s what I’m worried about.

Nick: It’s gonna be okay, alright?

Chance: Well, I hope I’m not making it seem like I got it all figured out because that is not the case.

Chelsea: What? You’re my guru now. The man with all the answers. Why did he say your book was coming out again?

Chance: [ Chuckles ]

Chelsea: No, but really, I’m impressed by how open you are about your struggles.

Chance: Well, thank you. I’ve been learning a lot about myself, I’ll tell you what, and what I’m capable of, good and bad.

Chelsea: Mm. And I’m glad I get to benefit from your therapy sessions. So, next round’s on me.

Chance: Well, it looks like my appointment just showed up.

Chelsea: Oh. Rain check then.

Chance: Absolutely. Excuse me.

Allie: Alright, you win. I don’t want to hear your lame joke anymore.

Noah: Oh, good. Now you won’t lose any respect for me.

Allie: Is that what happened to your last relationship? One too many bad puns?

Noah: Yeah, exactly.

Allie: Sorry. That — that was me being totally lame. Sensitive subject?

Noah: No. No, it’s fine.

Allie: Okay. Then, uh… then you don’t mind talking about her?

Noah: [ Chuckles ] Hi, my name’s steve.

Noah: It’s not like I’m so devastated by the break-up that I can’t talk about it. I just — I don’t want to be that guy.

Allie: Trashing your ex, you mean?

Noah: Yeah. It’s not a good look.

Allie: Yeah. I respect that.

Noah: But you’re still curious.

Allie: I am. I — I feel like it’s one of those basic things you want to know in a new relationship, right? What happened in the previous one. How come you’re available to be scooped up?

Noah: Yeah. I get it.

Allie: Maybe you can just tell me how you felt. Why was it not working for you?

Noah: I guess I was just really confused a lot of the time. I could never predict how she would react to things.

Allie: I’m not sure I know what you mean. Like, things you gave her or things you said?

Noah: Yeah, conversation, mostly. You know, we’d talk about something one day and it would be perfectly fine. And then the next time I brought it up, I’d know that I made a mistake, but I wouldn’t know why. I’d have no idea how to fix it or if I should even try to.

Allie: Indirect communication.

Noah: Yeah. It drove me crazy. Instead of “what you see is what you get,” it turned into this giant guessing game, never really knowing where you stand.

Allie: That honestly sounds really exhausting.

Noah: No, it was good in the beginning. Then all of a sudden, we started getting these little — I don’t know — these little glitches. And I’d be like, “huh. What was that all about?” And it started happening more and more, and eventually it got so bad that I felt like I was walking on eggshells the whole time.

Allie: Did you love her?

Noah: I thought I did in the beginning. But now that I’ve had some time looking back on the relationship, I realize it was pretty toxic. It was one of those addictive ones that you can’t really handle, but you also can’t bring yourself to let it go. Know what I mean?

Allie: Actually, I — I do not. I have not dated that many guys. And the relationships that i have been in are mostly just awkward.

Noah: I have had those, too. No spark, no passion that really takes off.

Allie: Not like this one.

Noah: Let’s stop talking about the past. It’s not nearly as interesting as the future.

[ Indistinct conversation ]

Chance: Hey. I, uh — I got to get back to the station, but I just wanted to say it was nice chatting with you.

Chelsea: That meeting looked so mysterious. Was that about an investigation? Is that man an informant? Oh, come on. I know it’s none of my business, but I can’t help being curious.

Chance: It’s okay. What I can say is, as of today, I will have closed all of rey’s cases. Every single one of them. Made that commitment after he died, and, uh, well, it took me a little longer than I thought. But now I can tell my buddy i did it.

Chelsea: Wow. That’s amazing.

Chance: Hey. [ Chuckles ]

Chelsea: That’s — sorry. It’s just — that’s such a special thing to do for rey. What a tribute to him.

Chance: Well, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Chelsea: I miss him.

Chance: I do, too.

Abby: For you.

Nick: What’s this?

Abby: Well, actually, they’re for christian. They’re the cuban shortbread cookies that he likes so much.

Nick: That is so sweet of you. I’ll let him know his aunt abby’s thinking about him.

Abby: Well, I should be thanking you for listening to all of my concerns. I know that you’re very busy these days.

Nick: Yeah. Vick has some seriously ambitious plans for newman enterprises. I’ve got a lot on my to-do list.

Abby: Uh, yes, I remember what it’s like working with our sister. Why do you think I like running my own business so much?

Nick: Well, no matter how busy I get, just know that I’m always here for you, abby. If you ever need me, day or night, just call.

Abby: Thank you. I hope it doesn’t come to that, though.

Jack: Hey. Hello, you two.

Abby: Uncle jack. Hi. Adam.

Adam: Good to see you both.

Jack: Uh, join us for a drink? Adam and I came by to raise a toast or two.

Nick: What are you celebrating?

Adam: My new job at jabot cosmetics. I’m going be jack’s co-ceo.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Zyrteeeec…

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

[Sfx: Buzzing ] This is pretection

Abby: That is some news. Congratulations.

Adam: Oh, well, thank you. Pretty amped about it.

Jack: Yeah. Me too.

Abby: How long has this been in the works? I mean, you didn’t mention it the last time we spoke.

Nick: Or earlier today.

Jack: Well, it took me a while to talk your brother into seeing this as a good move. But now I look at it as an act of pure genius on my part.

Nick: How’s that, exactly?

Jack: Well, now the kyle has moved over to marchetti to run things there, it left me with a nationwide launch for an executive to replace him, and it turns out I already knew the person who was the right candidate.

Nick: Yeah, I know summer’s very excited to be working with her husband again.

Jack: Yeah, they are a great team. Anyway, I got used to having a right-hand man, and since adam was at loose ends, having resigned from newman, it seemed the timing was fortuitous.

Nick: Did you have this position in mind when we talked earlier?

Adam: Wasn’t even a glimmer on the horizon.

Jack: No, I actually sprung this offer on him a few days ago, and he turned me down flat.

Adam: Yes, yes, I was reluctant at first, but the more I thought about it, I realized this could be a beneficial move.

Abby: Beneficial for you?

Adam: Absolutely.

Abby: Mm.

Jack: And me and the company and anyone who works there. Jabot is lucky to have an executive of adam’s caliber.

Abby: No doubt.

Nick: You know, adam, you would have had a lot more autonomy if you stayed on as ceo of newman media.

Adam: Ohh. Does anybody really have autonomy working under victor newman?

Nick: When we talked earlier, you said you were looking to go in a different direction.

Jack: Well, I certainly think this qualifies, don’t you? Adam and I have been talking about breaking away from old patterns, and, uh, I think that’s a lot of what this is about.

Nick: Yeah, I don’t know, jack. To make a move like this, it seems like you’d be driven by a lot of rage and resentment, to give up what you had at newman media to take a lesser position at a different company. No offense, jack.

Jack: No offense taken. Newman media’s loss is my gain.

Allie: [ Laughing ]

Noah: Come here.

Traci: [ Clears throat ] Hi. Hi, guys. Hi.

[ Laughs ]

Allie: Traci. Hi.

Traci: Noah, it’s so nice to see you again so soon.

Noah: Yeah, you — you, too, trace. How’s it going?

Traci: Oh, it’s going really well. Thanks. I’ve been all over town. I ran a bunch of errands, and now I get to relax.

Noah: Sounds good. Well, uh, I should probably get going, so I’ll let you two get back to it.

Traci: Okay. Well, really, enjoy the rest of your day.

Noah: You too. Thank you.

Traci: Okay.

[ Chuckles ]

Allie: Okay.

[ Laughing ] We were so not subtle. How embarrassing.

Traci: No. Oh, my gosh, allie, no. You have nothing to be embarrassed about. In fact, if you had read any of my novels, you would know it’s gonna take a lot more than that to make me blush.

[ Both laugh ]

Chance: Thank you.

Sharon: Of course.

Chance: Hey, do you — do you have a minute to talk?

Sharon: Sure. What’s going on?

Chance: Oh, I just wanted to come by and tell you that i filed the last report on that list. So, as of today, I have closed all of rey’s cases that he was working on before he died. There’s no unfinished business.

Sharon: Wow. Thank you. I know that would have meant a lot to rey.

Chance: And I know I’ve said this a lot, but it was an honor to work with your husband and to finish what he started. And I know these words are thrown around, but he was truly an inspiration and a role model for me and for a lot of others.

Sharon: You know, I can tell you rey felt the same way about you. He had a lot of respect for you. And he was so happy to be working with someone as honorable as you are, chance. (Assad) since my mother

Traci: Okay. I thought that we could use a little something to nosh on, you know, after all the strenuous activities of the day.

Allie: Oh, my god. You are killing me.

Traci: What? I was talking about me running all over town, doing my errands. What did you think I was talking — [ Gasps ] Oh!

Allie: You have a real wicked streak, you know that?

Traci: [ Laughs ] I do. I really do. I kind of keep it hidden, you know, to surprise people. It’s more fun that way.

[ Both laugh ]

Allie: [ Sighs ]

Traci: Ah, and speaking of fun, you and noah — you’re just adorable together. I love seeing that your friendship is turning into something more, and I can see how much you care about him.

Allie: I really do. God, it’s — it’s ridiculous how happy I am right now. I cannot stop smiling.

Traci: I see nothing ridiculous about that.

Allie: I don’t know. I guess — I guess there’s just a part of me that wonders if this is too good to be true. It’s ’cause I’m still in that infatuation stage now.

Traci: Allie, that’s the best part.

Allie: Is it, though, traci? Or am I really just setting myself up to get really hurt? I don’t know. Maybe the smart thing to do would be to rein myself in and be more cautious, you know?

Traci: What? [ Laughs ] I see absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t enjoy every single minute of this. Because you’re right — this is a phase. It’s the height of the happy, giddy feelings. You know, some couples, the really lucky ones, find a way to make this last for a lifetime, but for most people, this just moves into something deeper. That’s all the more reason that you need to really enjoy the here and now.

Allie: That is a great point.

Traci: You have had a really difficult year. You lost your dad. You had to sell your family home and move across the country to live with a family you never even knew you had. I mean, this is a lot for anyone to handle. So, how wonderful that life has balanced it out for you with butterflies in the stomach and long talks with a man who finds you fascinating. You know, finding yourself alone, just smiling because that handsome someone crossed your mind.

Allie: Traci, I — I care so much for noah. You know, I feel so safe with him, but it’s never boring. And I have never experienced anything like this before.

Traci: Then my advice for you is — enjoy it for what it is. Maybe leave a little room for what it might become. And, honey, do not talk yourself out of experiencing something rapturous in the name of caution.

Allie: “Rapturous”?

[ Both laugh ] You are such a writer.

Traci: Okay, you’re not gonna joke your way out of this conversation, young lady.

Allie: No. You’re right. I’m sorry. It’s such a bad habit of mine. But I promise I — I have heard every word and gotten the message. I need to give myself permission to be happy.

Sharon: One of the first things that I noticed about rey when I was working with him at the police station as a victim’s advocate is he had this thing for very sharp pencils.

Chance: [ Chuckles ]

Sharon: I would come into work in the morning, 7:00 A.M., And there he’d be with the pencil sharpener.

Chance: Yeah, his morning routine. I know. It was ridiculous.

Nick: Hey.

Sharon: Hi.

Chance: How you doing, nick?

Nick: Good. Uh, I was looking for you. I was hoping to talk to you for a minute.

Sharon: Oh, well, that’s fine with me. Um, thanks for coming by to tell me what you did. It meant the world.

Chance: Absolutely. You’re welcome.

Nick: Thank you, sharon.

Chance: What’s going on?

Nick: I have some news. Um, I was with victoria and dad. Then adam showed up.

Chance: Full of threats to expose us, I’m assuming?

Nick: Actually, just the opposite. Seems like he’s had a change of heart.

Chance: Just like that? I guess he’s no longer gonna hold the investigation over our heads.

Chance: Where is this coming from, do you think? What’s his agenda?

Nick: I don’t know. Like you, I didn’t want to believe a word out of his mouth, but then he told me that he accepted a job to be jack’s co-ceo of jabot.

Chance: You’re kidding.

Nick: No. Jack has always had a positive influence on adam. Adam really looks up to him and respects him. You know, the two of them were very excited to be embarking on this journey together. So, maybe adam’s sincere and he’s looking for another chance to get a reset.

Chance: [ Sighs ] Oh, man, I really hope that’s the case. All this is starting to get to me a little bit.

Nick: Yeah. I talked to abby. Didn’t seem like she knew anything about adam’s vendetta.

Chance: No, I didn’t see the point of stressing her out unnecessarily.

Nick: Yeah, I can understand why you wanted to keep that information to yourself, but it has unfortunately backfired.

Chance: What now?

Nick: Look, abby could tell something was bothering me. She’s starting to fill in the blanks on her own. She’s very concerned about you, chance, and what’s gonna happen to you, if you’re gonna be able to live with your decision of closing the case. On the other hand, she’s also worried about her father and what’s gonna happen to him if you change your mind and go after him again. You need to talk to abby, chance.

Chance: [ Sighs ] Alright. Thanks for the heads-up.

Nick: [ Sighs ]

[ Door opens ]

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ]

[ Sniffles ]

[ Gasps lightly ]

[ Sobbing ] (Vo) start the day with cheerios oat crunch almond.

Traci: [ Clears throat ] Honey, I hope that you won’t think I’m prying.

Allie: No. Ask me anything.

Traci: Have you had some bad relationships? Is that why you’re nervous?

Allie: I have not dated that many guys. And the guys that I have dated — for the most part, the relationships have all kind of just been duds.

Traci: Ohh.

Allie: [ Chuckling ] Yeah. Nowhere near as dramatic as it sounds like noah’s has been.

Traci: Well, I have known noah since the day he was born, and he is an amazing young man. So, if you have any concerns, I can vouch for him.

Allie: No, no. That was also the impression that I’ve gotten. But it is great to hear from you, too.

Traci: Good. Cheers.

Allie: Cheers.

[ Both laugh ]

Noah: Hey, guys. I am dying for an iced coffee. Do you mind?

Sharon: Not at all.

Noah: Anyone else want one? Dad?

Nick: No. I’m good. Thanks.

Sharon: You certainly are in a good mood.

Nick: Yeah. What’s that about?

Noah: I don’t know. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I’m falling in love.

Abby: Chance?

Chance: Hey.

Abby: Hey.

Chance: I am so sorry for the way I spoke to you earlier and for leaving like that. And I want you to know there’s nothing more important than you and dominic and our family. And I will do everything I can not lose sight of that again.

Abby: Apology accepted.

Jack: Your contract should be on my desk by now. Hmm. Or maybe not.

Adam: Oh. Bummer.

Jack: You know what? Let me go down to legal, see what’s holding it up. You’re welcome to stay here if you like.

Adam: Yeah. Yeah, sure thing. Hmm.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

oh. Lucy coe, what are you doing here? Looking for pickles? Hmm, very nice. No, actually, I would like a word about deception. And — you know, ’cause you are one of our fancy-schmancy, big-time investors. Is this about sasha gilmore pleading guilty to assault and battery on that would-be journalist?

[ Sighs ] Yeah. I hate that she is having to go through that. It’s the last thing she needed, after everything she has endured. I’m sensing a “but.” But… there it is. Okay. What happens in a courtroom is one thing. It’s an entirely different trial that is happening in the court of public opinion. What’s your point? My — my point is, sasha’s the face of deception. She is the physical representation of our brand, and right now, our brand is tarnished. Because of sasha. Yeah, but I-I think I do have a way to fix it. It’s just my partners are sort of dragging their feet. I’m sorry. Where do I come in, exactly? Okay. [ Sighs ] I can’t believe I even have to say this. I don’T… for the sake of our company and for all — everybody else who’s involved… sasha has to go. Hey. You okay? I don’t know what I am. Okay, well, look, after this meeting’s behind us, it’s all gonna be better. How? Well, because then you will finally be able to stand in front of a judge, knowing that we have done everything possible to, a, prove that you’re taking responsibility for your actions, and, b, that you are prepared to get the help that you need. And if the judge still decides that I am a threat to the community? Brando, I could go to prison for a really long time. Anna: Fancy seeing you here. Anna. Won’t you join me? Are you sure? Oh, please, do sit. Thank you. I suppose, despite our mutual distrust, we do have one thing that bonds us. Oh? What’s that? How much we both care about valentin. You know, I have to say, ever since he’s come back, he’s been like a new man, and I have no doubt that I have you to thank for that. Jordan: Based on the blood loss at the scene, my officers believe ava was injured just before she was discovered. That gives us a short window for the approximate time of the attack, somewhere between 9:45 to 10:00 P.M. Uh, that’s, uh… probably around the time I-I ran into maxie and spoke to her briefly. Thank you, dr. Finn. And you, nurse baldwin? What? Do you remember where you were during that time? Yeah, I took a walk around the grounds at some point. Alone? Mm-hmm. I needed a minute to just clear my head. Did something happen to upset you? I’m sorry that ava got hurt, mostly because it hurts you. I figured you’d be here. You’re here for me? Always. And as my uncle victor reminds me, we have to support family no matter what. And ava is my family. And you want to support your father, too. The hell I do. If you only would have listened to me, it would have never come to this.

[ Monitor beeping ] You seem to be at peace for the first time since esme poisoned things between us. It could have been so different! It’s too late now. You’re here early. You want some coffee? That would be great. Okay. Yeah, thanks. Um… so… so, I, uh… I’ve been thinking a lot about last night. Kind of all I’ve been thinking about, actually. Every five seconds? Now it’s pretty much constant, actually. Yeah, I’ve been thinking about it nonstop, too. I know that you said that you wanted time, and I — and I — I — I really don’t want to step on that. I don’t, but… there’s taking time… and — and there’s missing a chance. ‘Cause… that was amazing at the boathouse. It was. And I — I feel like we are on the brink of something pretty incredible. And I want it. I want it, and I want you.

I want it, too. You do? What I loved about yesterday — and there was a lot to love… yes, there was. It was that it was so smooth and easy. And it felt… it felt right. Until it didn’T. And I don’t mean it felt wrong. I’m just so scared to see the ending before it even starts. Does that make sense to you? Not really. I know you think you want to see what can happen between us — no, i know I want that. But you don’t know me, drew. You don’T. How can you, when I don’t even know myself? What are you thinking? Just say it. I’m thinking, is it okay to call you out right now? Yeah. ‘Cause I’m thinking what you just said, it’s a load of crap. Okay. If anyone knows themself, carly, it’s you. It makes my blood boil just thinking about it. Smoltz and sienna, they set me up, they destroyed my reputation, and now I’m the one at fault? You’re right, okay? They pushed you past your breaking point, and that is not fair. But focusing on that right now is counterproductive. We need to just get through the day, do whatever it takes to get you home to the people who love you. That’s me, by the way. I love you, too. You ready? Okay. I’m dr. Rubin. Hey, I am brando corbin. It’s nice to meet you. You too. You must be sasha. Please come in.

[ Door closes ] I still don’t understand why you came to me. I mean, I’m not involved in the day-to-day at deception.

[ Scoffs ] Replacing the face of deception is hardly day-to-day. Well, if you feel so strongly about it, force a vote and take care of it.

[ Sighs ] It’s not that simple. A lot of my partners feel like perhaps that might send sasha over the edge. Perhaps it will. Anyway, martin is saying that she’s seeing a shrink. Yep! You talked to martin, didn’t you? If you — I swear, cassadine, if you sent my pickle photo with victor and me to martin, I’ll kill you! I knew it. This nothing to do with sasha or deception. You’re worried about martin. Okay, yeah, you got me. I am wored about martin. I have been worried about martin since the day he left. Could have fooled me. Excuse me? You weren’t worried about martin when victor was fawning all over you at the picnic. Anna: You know, I’m really glad that we ran into each other, actually, because I have been meaning to reach out to you to thank you for going the extra mile to try to smooth things over between us. I-I appreciate that. Oh, you’re very welcome. Because you’re right. It’s easy just to fall back on old habits, isn’t it, and just get ruled by mistrust and suspicion. Surely one conversation wasn’t enough to dispel all your doubts about me? No, but it was a nice reminder of how much we both care about valentin. Sitting there between father and son, you know, and I really realized how much — how much he’s changed, post-convalescence. Wouldn’t you agree? Oh, I-I would.

[ Chuckles ] Tell me, what’s your secret? Does it really matter why I went for a walk? It’s personal. She’s being kind. I was an idiot last night and I brought up a touchy subject, and rightly so, elizabeth left before one of us said something we regretted. And this was…? At the stables. And what did you do next? I was upset, and I went looking for her. I-I-I — like I said, I ran into maxie and asked her if she’d seen elizabeth. She said no, and then I went up to the main house, and, um, I ran into valentin and — and — and spencer cassadine. Spencer had a couple drinks, and I tried to help him. If I asked spencer, would he corroborate? Yeah, if he remembers, but, uh, valentin was there. He would remember, and victor was there, too. And after you left finn, you went for a walk? That’s right. Did this walk happen to take you by the boathouse? I thought things were better with you and your dad. What changed? Nothing. Um… and that is the problem. He’s still the same nikolas cassadine. He’s out for himself, everyone else be damned. He hurt you, didn’t he? He opened my eyes, so I guess you could say he did me a favor? If you need to talk about it, you can. It’s not your problem anymore. I’m gonna go check on ava. I hate to see you suffer like this.

[ Door opens ] What are you doing?

Trina. I’m glad you’re here. Are you? I know how much you mean to ava. She means just as much to me. Are there any updates on who did this to her? No. Unfortunately, ava has her fair share of enemies. Finding our culprit will be difficult. But not impossible. No, of course not. You know, I just don’t get it. Why now? I’ve been asking myself the same question. And? To do something this vicious… it must have been someone who hates her very much. I’ll give you some privacy. Mr. Cassadine? It could also be someone who used to love her. Drew, look around. I mean, yeah, it’s the same kitchen. It’s the same refrigerator. It’s the same coffee maker. It’s the same griddle, yeah, okay. Only because I happened to get the house in the divorce. Of the things that defined me three years ago — my marriage to sonny, my kids, my friendship with jason, and my hotel — three of the four are gone. It’s just me and my kids, and thank god I have them, because if I didn’t, I — let’s not even go there.

[ Sighs ] The jason part was unavoidable because he died, and it was heartbreaking and shattering, but people aren’t guaranteed to be with you till the end of the ride. But my hotel, I gambled and I lost. My marriage to sonny ended because I’m — because the guy who came back from nixon falls wasn’t the same guy that you married. I told you that, didn’t I? Yeah, a couple times. And you were right. Dr. Rubin: I need you to understand that whatever happens next is entirely up to you. No one is forcing you into anything. But in my professional opinion, this is your best option not only to guarantee your freedom, but also your mental well-being. Um…

[ Laughs ] I thought this was a psychiatric exam. You ask me questions and I give you answers. What do you mean, option? I’m sorry. I thought you’d discussed this. Um, so, before he left town, martin suggested an alternative that, like dr. Rubin said, pretty much ensures your freedom. What is it? If you agree, we can ask the court to appoint brando as your guardian. I care very deeply for marty. You got a funny way of showing it. Okay, mr. Judgy judgerson. You did everything but bite victor’s gherkin. Oh! What you saw was a perfectly innocent exchange, and I can’t help it if you’re reading something untoward into it. What — what is that icky, little smirk? Uh, you’re a lot of things, lucy. “Perfectly innocent” not one of them. Neither is my father, for that matter. Well, whatever you saw or think you saw, my loyalty to marty has not wavered. If you say so. I do say so. Well, lucy, if you weren’t putting the moves on victor… I never would — I didn’t, and I don’t want to. …Then you were working him for information. In the espionage business, that’s called a honey trap. Which begs the question, what were you hoping to learn from victor? Much as I’d like to take credit for my son’s transformation, I’m afraid I had no part in it. How do you explain it, then? I don’t know. Perhaps… perhaps he’s just come to realize he’s not alone in the world. Valentin has family now. He’s always had family. Family he’s close to. You? Nothing means more to me. I mean, just look at spencer and nikolas awaiting word about poor ava. Families close ranks when the situation demands it, and the cassadines are no exception. Doubt our loyalty at your own peril. Is that a threat? Simply a statement of fact. I see.

Do you see, anna? Or is this friendly overture just for show? Look, when valentin left town, you two were barely on speaking terms. And now he’s returned, you’re this dynamic father-son duo, so you can’t really blame me for wondering why.

[ Chuckles ] I don’t remember. You don’t remember where you went walking?

[ Chuckles ] The quartermaine grounds are enormous. It was dark. Not to mention, I was upset. I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going. So, no, I can’t tell you my exact route. But you did or did not go by the boathouse? I don’t know! Finn: Hey, come on. Let’s be real. Can you account for every second last night? Can anyone? My job is to reconstruct the circumstances of ava’s attack. I need to know who was where when it occurred. Wait, you don’t think that i had something to do with this? Do we need a lawyer present, commissioner? I’m not accusing anyone. Are you sure about that? I don’t think we should say another word without an attorney here. I think it might be time for you to go, commissioner. Believe it or not, I’m on your side. My goal is to eliminate you from any possible suspicion. That’s why it would help if you could say definitively where you were at the time of the attack. I can help you with that.

Nikolas: Looks like you hit your head.

How did that happen? I don’t know. Well, what’s the last thing that you remember? I was at the stables with finn, and we had an — an argument, and now I’m here. You know, we’re not — we’re not that close to the stables. You — you really don’t remember walking here or how you got that scrape on your forehead? No. Spencer and I had just had a fight. That’s when you found us, remember?Mm-hmm. Why didn’t you say so? Because, at the time, we didn’t know what was happening. It’s only now, looking back, that the time makes sense, that that was right around the time that ava was… how is she? She’s stable. She hasn’t regained consciousness. She’s strong. She’s gonna pull through. I hope so. Any more questions, commissioner? I’m good for now. The account seems to tie up nicely. What do you mean, “seems to”?

[ Cellphone rings ] Just that I may need to speak with you again. Excuse me. Commissioner ashford. Okay, what was that all about? Guardianship? Only in A… like I’m a child who can’t take care of herself? Just the opposite, sasha. It demonstrates awareness of your mental health issues.

[ Scoffs ] Trusting someone — in this case, your husband — to help make important decisions will send a message to the judge. Not help make. Make for me. Hey, you know that I would never do that. Look — hey, this could lighten your sentence. It’d — the judge might even — he might even toss the punishment out altogether. Isn’t that what you want? Not like this! Brando, you cannot listen to these people. They’re wrong. Honey, I disagree.

[ Scoffs ] When did you stop believing in me? What makes you think I want something from your father? Are you saying you don’t? I just want you to exploit the attention that victor can’t wait to lavish on you. Just shake the tree a bit, see if any information about valentin comes loose. And what makes you so sure that I can get victor to let his guard down? Have you seen the way he looks at you? Trust me, you have all the… necessary assets to be my asset. Nope. Flattery is not gonna get you anywhere. Well, I hope for marty’s sake you’re wrong about that. I’ll tell you what. Why don’t you let me worry about victor, and you perhaps could consider what I told you, to think about sasha and her future at deception. What about martin? Oh, I am all in.

[ Door opens ] As I said, valentin now understands the value of family. As i said, he always has. Oh, well, yes. Of course. His bond with charlotte is unparalleled. How is she, charlotte? Oh, she’s wonderful. Just loving her time at boarding school. Why didn’t she come home for summer? Well, apparently, there was a — a state-of-the-art equestrian center was recently donated. Can’t tear herself away from the horses. Yes, she — apparently, she practically begged valentin to let her stay. How could he say no? Precisely. Well, I really should be getting back to the hospital to check on ava. I’m so happy we had this chat. So am I. So am I. Look, I’m the poster child for the stuff that you go through changes you, but it — it really does. Like, my experience definitely made me realize what truly, truly matters in life, and sonny’s experience clearly changed him. Well, that’s obvious. But what’s not so obvious is the person that got screwed in all of that, that’s you. Look, sonny came back, and he had different priorities, but I actually understand that. A bunch of my priorities when I got on that plane to afghanistan — not my priorities when I got home. I want to hear all about that. I really do. And I’ll tell you. But right now, I need to acknowledge, I need to point out and say out loud that you — you spent a big chunk of your life in a marriage that — it wasn’t always easy. In fact, one could argue that at times, it was just flat-out hard. One could, yeah. And you gave all of yourself. You gave everything, in the good times, in the bad times, and everything in between. And now…that’s gone. And that’s a big loss. Wow. I feel like that… I feel like I’ve been saying that, screaming it out loud, and no one could hear me, let alone see me. I see you. I don’t want to stay there. You know, it’s not something I want to hold onto, and that part of my life is gone. It’s just really nice… really nice to get credit for going through something, you know, and I just…

[ Sighs ] I actually got you a trophy.

[ Laughs ] Shut up. No, no, it’s in the car. I just gotta, like —

[ Laughs ] I gotta polish it up before i bring it in and give it to you. Drew? What? Thank you. You said that already. I know.

The good news is, I get to figure out who I am without those three core pieces of me. The bad news? I have to do that before I get into a relationship with you. Mm. Because what I really, really don’t want to do is make the mistake of rebounding again. Again? Not romantically. But I can see that while I really wanted to help and support you and michael…

[ Sighs ] …Jeopardizing my hotel by that investment, it was a knee-jerk reaction. You know, like, something awful happens to me, so I have to counteract it by doing something positive, so I made a really risky investment and I paid the price. You know, that’s life, I guess, so… question. Okay. If it had worked out… I would be happy. I would be really, really happy. Hmm. But it didn’T. And, you know, it’s not about the money. I mean, would the money have been nice? Sure. But that’s not the important part, you know? I can get over that. What I can’t get over is if I messed things up with you. Brando: I do believe in you. Clearly, that’s not true. Sasha, I know this is shocking and painful, but you did assault someone. There were extenuating circumstances. I’m sure there were. The fact remains, though, that you committed a crime. So that leaves you with two choices — conservatorship or prison. No. Brando: Sasha, I love you. I am only doing this to try and help you, to try and help us stay together. I could not stand it if they take you away. This helps us avoid that. By you being in charge of me? By showing the court that someone who cares about you will be responsible for your treatment. In charge of me. Do not think about it like that. But that’s what it would be! No, it’s not. Yes, that’s what it would be. You would make all the decisions — about small things, like the usage of my credit cards and my cellphone, but big things too. Where I go, when I go, who I go with. Is that honestly better than prison? Yes. And I think if you take a little time and really think about it, then you will actually agree. Where are you going? I need some air. Sasha. I wish I could do something. Make it so none of this ever happened.

[ Monitor beeping ] But we can’t go back in time, can we? If we could, there’s so many things that I would change, different things that I would choose. But do you know what I would do the exact same way? My friendship with you.

[ Crying ] I need you, ava. So can you please open your eyes and come back? Please? I don’t know how to do this without you. I don’t know what there is to tell you. You saw us together at the quartermaines’. Unless you’re suggesting that I’m keeping something from you. Aren’t you?

[ Cellphone chirps ]

[ Sighs ] I got a patient in the er that wants to see me. Go. Uh, we’ll talk about this when you’re done. Okay.

[ Door opens ] Why did you do that? Do what? Tell the truth? Only part of it. Nikolas, when you found me with this cut on my forehead, I had no idea how it happened or where I had been. And? Why didn’t you say so? How’s ava? Trina’s in with her. Oh, is that why you’re here? For trina? Why are you here? To wait for ava to wake up or to pray that she never does? I just spoke with a member of the quartermaine staff who was working the picnic. Oh, congratulations. She had something interesting to say about spencer. What about me? Where you were at the time someone tried to kill your stepmother.

Come on. We both know you didn’t attack ava. Someone did. Hold on. Are you implying that it was me? No. Why would you go out of your way to give me an alibi? Because I care about you. You know, we go way back, elizabeth. Yeah, let’s not talk about that. Okay. And also, I don’t want the pcpd wasting their time and energy on you when the real criminal is out there.

[ Sighs ] Everything okay? Yeah. How’s your patient? Good. Good. Alright, well…

[ Sighs ] I’m gonna go check on ava. You know, you can have a little empathy. Can’t you see how upset he is? With that guy, you see what he wants you to see. The question is, what does he want from you? You heard him. He just wants to help. Helping you or himself? I mean, honestly, why wouldn’t I want to be with you? I’ve been asking myself that same question. You’re handsome. You’re really funny. You’re kind and ridiculously sexy. Oh. I was kind of waiting for that last one. And we already established… effortless. Yeah, it is. You’re not gonna make this easy on me, are you? No. I can’t give in to you. Why not? Because I lost everything that, in my mind, identified me, and I hate it. And I don’t want to hide from it by turning to you. When I come to you, I want it to be for the right reasons. So it’s self-definition time, huh? Mm.

[ Sighs ] Yep.

[ Exhales sharply ] Oh, god. I mean, who am i without sonny and jason? I mean, I don’t know. It’s been since I was 22 years old, when I met them, and I have grown up and changed so much since then, but with them by my side, so I-I… I have to try this on-my-own thing for a while. Well, I… I look forward to meeting her, whoever she turns out to be. Me too. But I don’t think that’s what’s really going on here. No, what I’m looking for specifically is the name of the benefactor that donated the equestrian center to the school. Yes. So if you can find that for me, that would be great. Thank you. As soon as possible. Hello? Lucy? Bye. No, wait. Come here. Wait. No, no, no. I don’t want to wait. I do not want to. Why not?

[ Sighs ] Because every time I talk to you, I seem to get into more trouble. Why? Has there been a development with victor? Oh, no, no. It’s just that valentin is now accusing me of throwing myself at his daddy. Well, then, obviously, you got his attention. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I got his attention. I got his eyeballs. I got his hands. And you — you promised me it wouldn’t go this far. I am not doing this to marty. You don’t have to do anything, but if you care about marty as much as you claim you do — that’s how this whole thing started. Of course I care about marty. Well, then just keep victor on a string, and I will keep marty off the government radar, as we promised. Fine. For how long? Until I am certain of what hold victor has over valentin. And I’m getting closer, alright? Oh, gee. Hurry up.

[ Sighs ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Are you seriously accusing my great-nephew of attacking his stepmother? Apparently, spencer was three sheets to the wind, getting sick in the bathroom at the time of the attack. Well, are you surprised? Facing 90 days in jail would drive anyone to drink, particularly if he was just looking out for a friend. I’d ask if you saw anything suspicious near the boathouse, but given your state, you wouldn’t be a reliable witness.

[ Chuckles ] Apparently, it runs in the family.

Everything you said sounds great, and — and you obviously believe it, and…some of it might even be true. Some of it? But there’s something else. There’s something underneath it that scares you. And I’m here to tell you… …you don’t have to be afraid of me.

[ Door closes ] It seems we’re not being as honest with each other as we claim to be. Are we, darling? Aren’t you the face of deception? Why, yes, I am. You want a selfie? Nikolas loves ava. He would never hurt her. Oh, I’m not accusing him. Oh, okay. So you’re accusing me. No. No. But something doesn’t add up. If nikolas always knew he could vouch for your whereabouts, why didn’t he just say that? But more to the point, why didn’t you? You know, I’ve had just about enough of your so-called investigation. If you’re not accusing my friends, you’re going after my son. Meanwhile, the person who actually tried to kill my wife is out there, roaming free. I don’t need him to defend him. No, no, no. Spencer, your father’s quite right. The police seem to be doing everything but catching the real culprit. Or maybe we’re closer than you think. You’re not alone, okay? Your family is right outside, even spencer, just waiting for you to wake up.

Rolf: And we are ready to begin. And when I am done, you will no longer love the detestable gabi hernandez. It will be chloe lane who teaches your torch to burn brightly. Oh, sweet mystery of life.

Chloe: Oh, honey, I’m sorry, I didn’t see you there.

Rachel: You didn’t want me to hear what you just said, but I did. She’s trying to keep me away from mommy.

Brady: No, no. No, no, no, sweetie, she’s not. She’s not trying to keep you away from mommy.

Rachel: I heard her. You’re lying to me.

Brady: Baby, no. I would not lie to you, okay? You will–you will get to see mommy.

Rachel: Promise?

Brady: I promise.

Rachel: Then call her right now.

[Upbeat music]

Belle: Shawn.

Shawn: [Grunts]

Belle: Hey, shawn.

Shawn: Sorry. I didn’t hear you come in.

Belle: Didn’t you go to the gym this morning?

Shawn: I felt like doing more.

Belle: Okay, I’ll go make dinner while you finish.

Shawn: Look, wait. There was– there was a phone call for you on the landline. It was ej.

Belle: Oh?

Shawn: Yeah. Apparently, there’s some, I don’t know, urgent dimera shareholder meeting, and he needs your– he needs your input. So I don’t know. You’re gonna have to call him back because I didn’t take any notes.

Belle: Wait.

Shawn: Wait. Aren’t you supposed to be making a phone call?

Belle: I don’t want to talk to ej. I want to talk to you.

[Soft dramatic music]

Ej: I’d like to move that ava vitali–

Ava: Ava dimera.

Ej: Ava vitali be disqualified as a shareholder and removed from this meeting.

Ava: Disqualified? What are you talking about?

Gabi: Yeah, ej, what exactly are you trying to pull?

Ej: I’m not trying to pull anything. I’m trying to protect the future of this company.

Kristen: [Sighs] And voter suppression is so effective.

Wei: With all due respect, ej, the bylaws are very clear in regards to this kind of situation. As jake dimera’s widow, she’s entitled to this shares and vote. Why should she be disqualified?

Ej: Because she sees dead people.

[Dramatic music]

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Brady: Rachel, I’m not gonna call mommy right now.

Rachel: You promised.

Brady: Sweetie, I promised that I would never lie to you, and I won’T. The truth is that your mommy, she did something that she shouldn’t have done. And I know this is very hard for you to understand, but when you go to court and you have to testify, you have to take this oath. An oath is like a–it’s like a pinky swear. You have to swear to tell the truth, and chloe–chloe has to do that.

Rachel: But if she says something bad about mommy, they’ll send her away again. Daddy, don’t let her do this!

[Soft dramatic music]

Ava: I can’t believe this. Oh no, no, actually, I can. And I do. This emergency shareholders meeting was all orchestrated by you, wasn’t it, ej?

Ej: Ava, I can’t tell you how sorry I am, but I have no choice. Everyone at this meeting needs to know what’s been going on. Everyone, I regret to have to tell you that ava’s been hallucinating. She’s been seeing her dead husband.

Wei: Is this true?

Ej: She claims that he rang our doorbell last night, and she touched him and he was real, and when I suggested that she was suffering some post-traumatic stress, she admitted I was right.

Ava: You bastard.

Ej: Ava, you need help.

Ava: Oh, what I need is a tire iron.

Ej: Threatening me only confirms what I’ve been saying, ava. You’re not in control.

Ava: No, I’m mad.

Ej: Your words, not mine. Now, of course, none of this is her fault. We can all see how traumatized she is. We as a family will do everything we can to help her find her way back, but we can’t in good conscious allow this woman to make decisions on the future of the company.

Ava: Right, ’cause it’s a matter of conscious.

Ej: So, mr. Shin, as chairman of the board, you need to make the determination to disqualify her from voting. We cannot have a hallucinating, emotionally unstable woman voting her dead husband’s shares.

Tony: But I wonder, is there someone here that can take her place?

Rolf: I am taking you on a journey back in time, and at the end of the journey, you will loathe gabi hernandez, which is the only rational reaction to the woman. And so I want you to remember the last time you saw her, when you were deeply in love with your wife.

Stefan: Oh, my god, my mother’s text couldn’t have come at a worse time. I am sorry to leave you like this.

Gabi: It’s okay. Go deal with vivian and just hurry back, okay, so we can start the rest of our lives.

Stefan: Okay, just promise me you’re gonna keep this bed warm for me.

Gabi: Yes, please be careful.

Stefan: I will. I love you, gabi.

Gabi: I love you, too.

[Eerie music]

Rolf: I will assume you just had an oh-so-sweet memory. Let’s see what we can do about that.

Gabi: You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?

Ej: Far from it. It’s my duty, but a sad one.

Kristen: Really, ej? This is too much.

Tony: Now, that’s rich coming from you.

Kristen: She just lost her husband. I mean, she’s grieving. That doesn’t make her incompetent.

Ej: She’s seeing people that aren’t there. What if she starts investing in companies that aren’t there?

Kristen: She’s seeing people who aren’t there, according to you. And unless you have a psychiatrist who’s examined her waiting out there in the outer office to corroborate your assertions, it seems to me to be a naked power play, based on totally unsubstantiated accusations.

Wei: What do you have to say to that, mr. Dimera? Do you have any evidence to back up the claim?

Ava: No, there isn’t any because the son of a bitch is lying through his teeth.

Ej: Well, let’s just see about that, shall we? Moderate to severe eczema still disrupts my skin.

Brady: Mommy’s not going anywhere, okay?

Chloe: Rachel, listen, I don’t want to hurt you, and I don’t have to go to court.

Rachel: I hate you! Make her go away now!

[Soft dramatic music]

Shawn: Thought you said you were gonna start dinner, hmm?

Belle: Shawn, I know you. You’re not working out. You’re working out your anger.

Shawn: What anger?

Belle: Oh, come on. We both know that ej never calls the landline. He just did that to goad you.

Shawn: What, you mean treating me like I’m your personal secretary? Hey, belle, it’s totally fine, right? I’m fine with it, all right?

Belle: Stop it!

Shawn: Okay, stop what? Stop what? Huh? What?

Belle: It means the world to me that you let me move back in here, and that we’re under the same roof, and we’re having dinner together, but I hate all of this tiptoeing around each other and making small talk when there is so much we’re not saying. And then every night, we go to bed, we say goodnight, and you go off to our bedroom– well, your bedroom– and I go to claire’s bedroom.

Shawn: Okay, what do you want to do? You want to switch bedrooms? We can switch rooms.

Belle: No, I want you to scream at me! I want you to throw me out! But don’t do this.

[Sighs] I slept with ej, and there is nothing I can do to take that back, and the fact that he called the landline here instead of my cell makes me want to shove that phone down his throat, so I can only imagine how it made you feel. But I did not move back in here to be your roommate. You said that you thought that you could get past what happened, and, I don’t know, maybe you can’T. Maybe it was just too much to ask.

Ava: I don’t think anyone in this room would be surprised to hear that ej dimera is a liar. I mean, ask his sister. He’d say anything to get what he wants.

Kristen: It’s a family trait.

Ava: He only called this meeting here today because he wants to take away my vote because I made it very clear to him that I would not be his rubber stamp.

Ej: [Chuckles] Okay, now that’s a lie.

Ava: Okay, let me make something clear to all of you. I never hallucinated. I live with the ever-present knowledge that my dear jake is dead, and he’s not coming back. Ej made up this little ghost story, but he doesn’t have, as his sister said, one shred of evidence.

Ej: None? How about another eyewitness?

Wei: Someone else saw this?

Ej: Mm-hmm. Your son, and your ceo, ms. Gabi hernandez.

Gabi: Mrs. Gabi dimera.

Rolf: Moving right along. Now, let’s go back to the nauseating moment when you first decided you were in love with the wench.

Stefan: Did I hate you? Sure, but I saw underneath that, that there was more, and that everything about you, all the deviousness, the passion, the treachery, the genius–all those qualities are exactly what caused me to fall for you.

Gabi: You fell for me?

Stefan: Yes. I should have admitted it before now, but my pride, my ego wouldn’t let me do it. But I’m done with all that now. If we never get out of here, I’m not leaving anything unfinished. That’s why I’m laying it all out on the line. I care for you, gabi hernandez, and I’m done pretending I don’T.

Gabi: Oh, my god, oh, my god. I am going to hate myself for this so much more than I hate you. You’re right, okay? You’re right. I can’t keep pretending. Dammit, stefan, I feel the same way that you do.

Stefan: [Chuckles]

Rolf: It will be a pleasure to annihilate that particular memory.

[Machine beeping rapidly]

[Dramatic music]

Ej: So, you see, mr. Shin, your son and your ceo were both there when it happened. They saw everything, so you don’t need to take my word for it.

Wei: Is it true, mrs. Dimera? Were you there when ava thought she saw her late husband?

Gabi: I don’t even know how to answer that.

Ej: Oh, I don’t know. How about the truth?

Gabi: I mean, “was I there when ava imagined her late husband?” Is so loaded. I was there last night, but I didn’t see ava hallucinate. Maybe it was ej that was hallucinating. Maybe he came up with this crap because he wants to force me out as ceo. What am I saying? He would never do something so underhanded.

Wei: Son, were you there last night? Did you see anything?

[Soft dramatic music]

Stefan: [Gasps] Oh.

Son, I need an answer now.

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis persists…

Wei: Son, answer me.

Li: Yes, I was there last night.

Wei: And?

Li: I can state categorically that ej is lying.

Ej: [Chuckles] He’s just backing her up. They’re both lying.

Wei: At this point, we have three major shareholders who insist that your allegations are false. Now, everyone including i understand your ambitions. It’s no secret that you want to be the ceo again.

Tony: No!

Ej: Mr. Shin, just for clarification’s sake, the three major shareholders who say that I’m lying are ava dimera, gabi dimera, and your son, li shin.

Kristen: Did that just go over your head, ej?

Ej: Oh, I just want it in the record before I play this.

Johnny: Yeah. Yeah, she told me she saw jake.

Ej: And what exactly did she say?

Johnny: Just that it felt real. You know, she touched his face. She was sure it was him. But she couldn’t explain what was happening. She thought she must have been maybe hallucinating.

Ej: So, you see, I’m not the only one. Ava herself admitted it to my son johnny.

Johnny: You recorded me.

Ej: I had a feeling that ava might deny what happened. I apologize to you both, but I didn’t have a choice.

[Dramatic music]

Brady: Hey. Everything is gonna be okay. You gotta believe me, everyone, including chloe, just wants what’s best for you. You have my word on that, okay?

Rachel: Okay.

Brady: I know you’re upset. I know. Do you want me to go tell nora jane’s mom that you want to do a playdate another day?

Rachel: No, I want to go.

Brady: Want to go? Okay, well, it looks like they’re getting ready to leave, so do you want to go say your goodbyes, and I’ll be right there, okay?

Brady: I’m sorry. I’m really sorry about that.

Chloe: I’m sorry too. It’s fine. Just go.

Brady: Looks like I’m going to–I’m gonna have to talk to belle. All right, I’ll be back as soon as I can.

Shawn: Look, I don’t–look, I don’t know what to say. You know, I just, I heard his voice, and I just–I couldn’t stop thinking about his hands on you.

Belle: I am so sorry.

Shawn: Look, even–even if he didn’t call, belle, I–look, I can’t just– I can’t just get over this, okay? I…I know that this isn’t what you’re gonna want to hear, but I just… I just need more time.

Belle: No.

Shawn: No, what?

Belle: No. I don’t think that’s true.

Rolf: So time to alter your emotional makeup just a bit. Instead of lusting for gabi hernandez, you will be repulsed by her. This may hurt a little bit.

Gabi: You think that I want you?

Stefan: It’s obvious.

Gabi: You destroyed my life. You framed me for murder, kidnapped me, put a hot poker in my face.

Stefan: None of that changes the fact that you want me. I’m not sure this is such a good idea.

Gabi: Yeah, probably not. I don’t really know what I was thinking. Even though sometimes you do show another side, you still are an arrogant jackass.

Stefan: And you–see, I may be an arrogant jackass, but I am way too much of a gentleman to tell you what you are.

Gabi: You know what, maybe it was just sex, and maybe it wasn’t terrible, but you still don’t get to treat me like some random dimera whore.

Stefan: Pity that all you have to offer is sex.

Gabi: It’s a pity you didn’t have more to offer.

Stefan: You are such a clever girl, gabi. Such fire in your eyes. That mouth on you? It’s really a shame that all you’ve got is dust around that shell of a heart of yours.

Gabi: You are unbelievable. Stefan?

Stefan: Yeah.

Gabi: Don’t insult me again!

Stefan: Yeah? What are you gonna do about it?

[Dramatic music]

Wei: You lied to me.

Ej: He’s been spending a lot of time with gabi.

Wei: Mr. Dimera, I think you’ve said enough. And I’ve heard enough to make a decision. It’s pretty clear after hearing the recording that what ej said is true, but I am not removing you from this meeting. It would be too disruptive, but I will be prohibiting you from voting your shares until a determination can be made of your mental state.

Tony: Checkmate.

Shawn: Whoa, whoa. What are you doing?

Belle: Shawn, no matter when this happens, it’s gonna be awkward, and I don’t think we should just sit around and wait for the perfect time. Okay, let’s go upstairs and make love.

Shawn: Oh, that’s your solution to everything, isn’t it, huh?

Belle: What? That’s not fair.

Shawn: Okay, you know what? You should be careful when you use that word. Just like it wasn’t fair when you went off and you crawled into bed with ej. Oh, god.

Brady: Sorry. I actually did knock. You obviously didn’t hear me, but belle, could you just call me when you get a chance?

Shawn: No, no. Brady, don’t–don’t go, all right? Look, I was just trying to work out, but you know what, I think I’m gonna go on a run instead, so. Good to see you.

Brady: You too.

[Soft dramatic music]

Rolf: The marriage wasn’t a love match at the beginning, but judging by how you went flying to see the woman when you escaped, it grew into one, but today is the last day of your love story.

[Chuckles]

Dum, dum, de dum what god hath joined together, let dr. Rolf zap asunder.

Gabi: Yes. I do.

[Eerie music]

Ej: I move that we remove ms. Gabi hernandez–dimera– as ceo and install me in her place.

Kristen: Those are two separate and distinct motions.

Ej: Why waste time? Everyone here knows that the vote is merely just a formality. The last vote on this matter was a six-six tie, which allowed gabi to remain on as ceo, but her side just lost a vote, which means the majority is no longer in her favor. She will have to step down, and we need to install her replacement as quickly as possible. So, to that end, we need to vote immediately.

Johnny: You might not want to do that, dad. The vote, I don’t know, might not go the way you planned it.

Tony: Another county heard from.

[Dramatic music]

Announcer: Type 2 diabetes?

Chloe: Hey, shawn.

Shawn: Hey, chloe.

Chloe: Hey. I know that brady was just on his way to go see belle. Do you know if she’s at home?

Shawn: Yeah. No, he’s there talking to her now.

Chloe: Oh, okay, good. I know that you two are trying to work things out, and he wouldn’t interrupt unless it was really important.

Shawn: Yeah, no, he didn’t interrupt. The truth is we aren’t working anything out.

Belle: Well, I guess it was pretty naive to think I could just move back in here and everything would fall back into place.

Brady: I was hoping it would.

Belle: Yeah, the truth is I just think that, you know, the marriage is a lost cause. He just can’t get over the fact that I slept with ej. But you did not come here to talk about my problems. I’m sorry, what’s–what’s up?

Brady: It’s–it’s kristen. Belle, she has-she has filed for full custody. I just got served.

Kristen: I think johnny has something to say, ej.

Johnny: I do. See, you just said, as if it were a given, that the vote would be six-five in your favor, but, well, how do you know without the vote?

Kristen: Someone counted their chickens before they hatched?

Johnny: Let me save you some time by telling you that I’m switching my vote. I’m voting for gabi.

Ej: No.

Johnny: Oh, yes. See, I think what you did to ava just now was disgusting. She’s suffering. She’s in real pain, and you saw that as a liability, as a means to an end, just like when your own son confided in you, you thought to yourself, “hmm, let’s get this on tape. Might come in handy.” So let’s cut to the chase, mr. Shin. I know that your time is valuable, and I know that you’ve traveled a long way for this meeting, so I would like to state for the record I vote against the motion. That’s gabi, kristen, shin, their two proxies, and me. Six votes to your five gabi stays.

Gabi: Thank you, johnny. I know it stuck in your craw last time I won because it was a tie. This time, it’s a majority. I won, and you–you lost after you wasted a great deal of all of our time.

Ej: [Chuckles] I won’t forget this.

[Chuckles]

[Soft dramatic music]

Time. It’s life’s most precious commodity,

Belle: So kristen hired sloan petersen as her attorney. She’s a shark. And we can’t use any of kristen’s past crimes against her because she’s been pardoned.

Brady: Past. That would–that would be before the pardon.

Belle: That’s right.

Brady: Well, just so happens that kristen threatened to stab chloe with a letter opener just a couple days ago. That was after the pardon.

Belle: Well, that’s great. I mean, not great, but that’s gonna make compelling testimony.

Brady: Well, there’s another problem with that. You see, my daughter rachel overheard chloe and me talking about her testifying against kristen, and it made rachel very upset, and now chloe is nervous that if she testifies against kristen, rachel’s just gonna hate her.

Belle: Yeah.

Brady: Yeah.

Belle: Knowing kristen, that’s probably why she did that. You know, she’s just trying to cause tension and make chloe the bad guy, but brady, just because she’s filed for full custody does not mean she’s gonna get it. Worst-case scenario, you share custody. And you’re okay with that, right?

Brady: [Chuckles] As long as it means I don’t lose rachel altogether, sure.

Belle: No judge is ever gonna give kristen full custody. Don’t worry. Everything’s gonna work out for you.

Brady: And everything’s gonna work out for you and shawn too.

Chloe: Listen, shawn, I’ve been on both sides of this kind of situation, and I know it sucks, but you have to ask yourself, are you really trying to work things out with belle, or are you just trying to punish her? I mean, if you didn’t think you were capable of forgiving her, then was it a good idea to ask her to move back in?

Shawn: You’re right.

Chloe: I mean, belle has said and done everything she can. The ball, as they say, is in your court. So you have to make a decision, one way or the other.

Tony: [Sighs] Well, you tried.

Ej: I’m not done. This is not over.

Ava: Well, I guess it was my own damn fault forgetting that you aren’t human, forgetting that you can never be trusted, forgetting that you will happily use the most horrible thing that has ever happened to a person to bring them to their knees.

Ej: Pack your things and get the hell out of my house.

Ava: What?

Ej: You’re no longer of any use to me. Get out.

Johnny: Just so you know, pops, if she does, I do too.

[Soft dramatic music]

Gabi: Thank you so much for your support.

Kristen: Mm, remember, you’re still only one vote away from ej taking over again.

Gabi: Yeah, trust me, ej’s not gonna let me forget that. Excuse me. I gotta do some damage control.

Kristen: Me too.

Wei: I will never forget that you lied to my face.

Gabi: So did I.

Wei: You didn’t have to remind me.

Li: Doesn’t it matter why we lied? Ej was using ava’s grief to seize power. Is that the kind of person you want running this company?

Wei: Think about the person that founded this company. A high moral character was never a requirement for this job. You’re not above reproach.

Li: But she’s doing an incredible job.

Wei: I’ll make up my own mind about that. Let me remind you that you didn’t get your shares or position of ceo because of merit. You got them because your husband died. Don’t forget that.

[Eerie music]

Rolf: And now, deeper into your past, it’s time for you to remember the voluptuous chloe lane in all her splendor.

Stefan: This is me begging. Please, please. Come on, please, sing me a song.

Chloe: No, no.

Stefan: Come on, please?

Chloe: Okay, oh gosh, please stand up, yeah.

Stefan: So, you’ll do it?

Chloe: I will sing you one song if you get up off your knees. Yes.

Stefan: Yeah? All right.

Chloe: Okay. Oh, okay, hm. Hm, hm.

[Exhales softly]

[Singing in italian]

Stefan: You’re going through a lot. Trust me when I say I’m gonna take care of this for you. And when I do, maybe I’ll finally get to take you out on that date.

Chloe: I’m not sure that that date will live up to your expectations at this point.

Stefan: I disagree. I think it’ll be well worth the wait. Chloe, I can make this better for you, just like you can make it better for me. We would be so good together.

[Sot dramatic music]

My asthma felt anything but normal.

Ej: Weren’t your histrionics at the board meeting enough for you?

Johnny: Wasn’t questioning ava’s mental state in public enough for you? And doesn’t kicking her out of the house qualify as histrionics?

Ej: There’s no reason for her to be here. This is our family home.

Johnny: And ava is family. She’s your brother’s widow.

Ej: Who has sponged off us while poisoning my own son against me.

Johnny: Look, I didn’t say you have to let her stay here. I just said, if she goes, so do I. It’s completely up to you.

Tony: Count to ten, ej. You don’t want to lose your son over this.

Ej: Fine. She can stay.

Johnny: Well, good. Ava, can I offer you an aperitivo?

Ava: Oh, that sounds lovely, but I think I’d like to freshen up first.

Johnny: Of course. A dopo, papa.

[Dramatic music]

Ej: [Sighs]

Tony: You did the right thing, ej. You don’t want to lose your son over this. Let it go.

Ej: [Screams]

Ava: Oh, thank you. Thank you for standing up for me back there. I do not think I could handle having to look for another place to live right now.

Johnny: Now you don’t have to.

Ava: That’s quite a risk you took. You could have been out on your ass too.

Johnny: Well, it wasn’t completely unselfish. I like having you around.

Li: I’m sorry. My father shouldn’t speak to you like that.

Gabi: It’s okay. I’ve got a tough skin when it comes to business. I just–I don’t want him to be angry with you.

Li: Oh, it’ll blow over.

Gabi: Thank you. And thank you for backing me up. I know it wasn’t easy to lie to your father.

Li: Don’t you know by now? I’d do anything for you.

[Tender music]

Kristen: So how did it go?

Rolf: It’s working. When he comes to, he won’t want anything to do with gabi hernandez ever again. He’ll only have eyes for chloe lane.

Chloe: Oh, hey.

Brady: Hi. So, I talked to belle. According to her, we don’t need you to testify.

Chloe: Oh.

Brady: Yeah.

Chloe: Okay, well, I just hate that you’re going through this.

Brady: I hate it, too, obviously, but I figure the worst-case scenario is that I have to share custody with kristen. I mean, I guess I could live with that, but it’s probably the best thing for rachel, anyway.

Chloe: Mm, I hope you’re right.

Brady: I hope I’m right too. Hey, there’s no reason to worry. There is nothing that kristen can do to come between us.

[Soft dramatic music]

Belle: Hey, listen, I’m so glad you came back. I’ve been thinking, and I’m really sorry. I tried to force the issue, and I pushed too hard.

Shawn: No, no, don’t, don’t, don’T. Don’t apologize. You were right. I– this–this isn’t working.

Belle: Oh.

Shawn: I mean, it’s, like, you know, like, us. Like, living–living together again, like this. It just–oh, my god, why? Look, I don’t know how to say this.

Belle: But you think it was a bad idea–

Shawn: Because, yeah, damn it, like, it’s, like–like–oh, my gosh, why am–why am I having so much trouble trying to find these words right now? I just–

Belle: You know what, I think you should just go take a shower, and we’ll still have dinner. We’ll talk about the cubs, and in the morning, I will go pack my stuff and–

Shawn: Look, I don’t-i don’t want to talk about the cubs, belle, and I don’t want to have dinner, and I don’t want you to leave, but I don’t want things to stay like this. Look, you’re right. Look, I do need to take a shower. Do you want to join me?

Belle: Are you sure?

Shawn: Yeah, yeah, I’m sure.

Belle: Yeah. I would love that.

Shawn: Yeah?

Belle: Yeah.

Shawn: Come on, let’s go.

Belle: Okay.

[ Dramatic music ]

Brooke: So, are you proud of yourself?

Taylor: I’m sorry. What?

Brooke: Look! Look at what you’ve done.

Taylor: Oh. Really? I– I did this? I’m the bad guy. Of course, I am. That’s right. I did all of this, right?

Brooke: Yes, you started it and you laughed at me.

Hope: It is always logan versus forrester with you.

Steffy: Because that’s how it always ends up.

Hope: But it doesn’t have to.

Steffy: Talk to your mom. She’s the one who started the feud.

Hope: Okay. All right. You know, if you wanna keep living in the past, then fine, that’s your call. But, I’m not going to sit by and let douglas become a victim of this endless feud between our families.

Bill: Did I miss something or is thomas demanding full time custody of douglas coming out of nowhere?

Liam: No, you’re right. It’s surprising. Nobody expected it, especially not hope.

Bill: Well, that can’t happen under any circumstances. Thomas raising douglas on his own should not be a thought in anyone’s head, ever.

Bill: Douglas absolutely cannot live with thomas. The guy has proven over and over again that he’s unstable. He can’t take that little boy out of the only home he’s known and throw him into– into crazy town at worst, and unpredictability at best.

Liam: I mean, no argument here. Sure, thomas has been working on himself. He hasn’t had an incident in a matter of months. Does that magically mean he should be the primary caregiver in douglas’ life?

Bill: Hell, no.

Liam: Exactly. And hope feels the same way.

Hope: Douglas loves his life with us. He loves being beth’s older brother. There is no reason to uproot him.

Steffy: You’re wrong. There’s a very big reason. Thomas is douglas’ blood. He deserves a more prominent role in his life.

Hope: And I have never done anything to deprive douglas of the time that he wants to spend with his father. But I think you’re forgetting one very important fact, and that is that I am douglas’ mother. I adopted him. Thomas and I share custody. Douglas is my son, too.

Thomas: What did i just walk in on?

Taylor: Okay, all of this.

Brooke: Ugh.

Taylor: All of this because– because I laughed at you? Okay.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Brooke: All right, you know what, taylor?

Taylor: What?

Brooke: I think I missed a spot.

Taylor: Brooke, please don’t do it again. Stop.

Brooke: No, no, no. Hang on.

Taylor: Brooke, seriously, no!

Brooke: Ooh! Oh-ho-ho, right there.

Taylor: Wow, wow. It’s really cold.

Brooke: Wait, let me look.

Taylor: You know what? It’s really cold in here, brooke. You look like you could use another coat.

[ Brooke screaming ]

Brooke: Okay, that’s it. That is it.

Taylor: Uh, hi.

Ridge: Really? Facing expensive vitamin c creams with dull results?

Liam: Imagine how devastated hope would be if thomas actually succeeds in taking douglas away from her. But, like, has he– has he thought about that? Hope stepped in to take care of douglas when thomas couldn’T. He actually asked her to do that, originally. So, what? Now, he just arbitrarily changes his mind and goes, “nah, never mind?”

Bill: It’s outrageous.

Liam: And it’s not– it’s not even like he– he doesn’t get to spend time with douglas. The dude has complete access. So, why would he rip hope’s heart out? Because let’s be clear, that’s what he would be doing by taking douglas away from her. Like, the kid belongs in the home he knows.

Bill: Yeah, I completely agree. And listen, I can say there’s some– some small part of me because the circumstances are so different, but some small part of me that understands thomas wanting to be with his kid. I mean, I missed out on so much time with you and wyatt growing up, but I didn’t even know you existed.

Liam: It’s not the same. It’s not the same, though. I mean, like you said, you didn’t know we existed. Wyatt and I had zero relationship with you until we were full-grown adults. I mean, thomas gets to see douglas all the time. Like, why? Why would you chnge the arrangement? Unless, he’s just trying to get hope’s attention, which is exactly the reason that he’s done all the other crazy, scandalous crap he’s done.

Bill: I wouldn’t put it past him.

Liam: Well, if that’s true, then, um, he’s not gonna like the attention he gets because hope is not just going to hand douglas over to him.

Bill: Sounds like we’re headed for a full blown custody battle. You ready for that?

Hope: Thomas. Uh, where’s douglas?

Thomas: Oh, actually, we went out to grab some art supplies and ran into amelia, with kelly, and they went out to lunch. And, um, I don’t think I need to ask what you two are talking about.

Steffy: I was just explaining to hope that I’m 100 percent behind you in playing a bigger role in douglas’ life.

Hope: And I was just explaining that there’s nothing wrong with it, but that doesn’t mean that we have to uproot him from everything he knows.

Hope: Douglas has been with you for a long time now, and you have done a great job. Douglas feels safe, and loved, and we’re all grateful for that. But, it’s time for him to come home.

Hope: He is home. With us.

Steffy: With his father.

Thomas: Okay, um… steffy, I appreciate what you’re saying, but I think I’d like to talk to hope alone.

Steffy: Okay. Hope, this doesn’t have to be a bad thing. The only thing that really changes is douglas’ address.

Thomas: [Whispers] Steffy.

Steffy: I’m going.

Hope: Okay, can I be honest?

Thomas: Please do.

Hope: Now, I am starting to worry about your intentions when it comes to our son.

Ridge: What the hell is this?

Taylor: Okay, okay. So, I was trying to leave, and she wouldn’t let me. And I turned around, and I– and I– and I got paint on her–

Brooke: You know what?

Taylor: As I–

Brooke: If she didn’t talk like this, using her arms, her whole body, then it wouldn’t have splattered all over the place.

Taylor: Okay, okay, okay. You know what? That’s fair. I do get animated when I talk, we know that.

Brooke: You know what? I think you did it on purpose.

Taylor: Well, look, brooke, I wish I would have done it on purpose at this point–

Brooke: I wish I did it on purpose, actually.

Ridge: Ladies. Ladies!

[ Brooke sighing ]

Ridge: Please continue.

Taylor: Thank you. So, I was trying to leave, and, um, I got the paint on her, and then she just freaked out and started–

Ridge: So, you spilled some of douglas’ paint, and?

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: How did this happen?

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: I’m gonna tell you how this happened. She’s a klutz, okay? And she laughed at me. She laughed at me.

Taylor: Yeah. Ooh, I laughed at brooke, I don’t know. Ridge, you should’ve seen her face when I got the paint on her. It was like, “oh!” It was, it was funny. I laughed. Yes, okay, fine.

Ridge: This is unbelievable! What if douglas walked in right now? How would you explain this to a little boy? How would you do that? All I wanted for you– was for you not to fight over a little boy. That’s all.

Brooke: I apologize.

Taylor: No, I… I’m sorry, too. Okay? I am. None of this should have happened, and…

[ Taylor sighing ] Ridge, if we’re being honest, this whole fight wasn’t even about douglas. It was about you. Always is. Hi, I’m karen.

Liam: I mean, an honest to goodness custody battle over douglas, with courts, and lawyers, and judges, it’s just… it’s just not something anybody wants.

Bill: I’ve been there. Painful as hell for everyone involved.

Liam: Yeah, especially for the kid being fought over. Which is– you know, that’s why I think we’re gonna make every effort to resolve this amongst ourselves.

Bill: What are the chances?

Liam: Yeah, it’s hard to say. Thomas is adamant about taking douglas, and hope is adamant about keeping him, so.

Bill: It doesn’t sound like a lot of wiggle room.

Liam: But we keep hoping, you know.

Bill: I hear you.

Liam: Actually, you know, the truth is, nobody has even said the word “court.” It’s just… like, you know, that’s what we’re all thinking, so.

Bill: Well, thomas does have a soft spot for hope. Maybe she can use that to her advantage.

Liam: Yeah, I– I know.

Bill: I know. The guy’s a psycho. You’re gonna wake dr. Jekyll and have him turn into mr. Hyde. Having said that, all the wacky things that thomas has done in the past would work in your favor if you do go to court.

Liam: Yeah, that’s true. I mean, if– if it ever did come to that, using thomas’ past actions against him would make a very strong case for hope.

Bill: ‘Atta boy. Now you’re thinking like your old man.

Hope: I am not saying that it’s intentional, or that you’re even aware of it, but it’s starting to feel like you’re putting your wants ahead of douglas’ needs.

Thomas: I respect that you feel that way. But, I actually think it’s the opposite. I think douglas needs to be with his father.

Hope: You know, you all keep throwing that word at me, as if I’m not his mother. And you know whose idea that was, right? In the first place? It was yours. So, douglas is my son, too. And if I may say, I think I’m doing a pretty damn good job at raising him because he’s happy. He’s well-adjusted, and he’s a great boy. And he loves living with liam, beth and me, and there is no reason to pull him out of that when you can still see him whenever you want.

Thomas: You’re right. I made you douglas’ mother. And you have been incredible. He is so lucky to have you.

Hope: And he’s lucky to have you too, thomas. You know me. I would never want to interfere in your relationship with our son. As long as you are in a good, happy, healthy place, which I believe you are.

Thomas: But, you just don’t think I should be living with douglas. Do me a favor, hope. Give me a chance. Just come on over. And see how happy douglas is over at granddad’s house.

Ridge: You guys were having a paint fight over me?

Taylor: Yeah, well, it started because brooke was telling me that– that thomas wasn’t fit to be a father to douglas.

Brooke: I have legitimate concerns. It wasn’t too long ago when thomas was extremely unstable.

Ridge: That wasn’t long ago, and he’s much better now. You know that.

Taylor: Yes. And we went back and forth on that for a while, and then, um, I decided to leave when she started telling me that I was using the situation between thomas and douglas, to– wait for it– pit the two of you against each other.

Ridge: The two of us?

Taylor: Yeah, yeah. Uh, brooke seems to think that I’m using our grandson to try to come after you.

Ridge: No, you didn’t, you didn’t say that, right?

Brooke: Not in those exact words, ridge, but think about it. Come on. Thomas was fine with the custody arrangement. And then taylor comes back in town, and all of a sudden, thomas wants douglas full time. Out of nowhere!

Taylor: It’s not out of nowhere, brooke.

Brooke: You know what?

Taylor: Seriously, this is–

Brooke: I think you and steffy have been blabbing in his ear.

Taylor: Please.

Brooke: A custody battle between hope and thomas would definitely put you and me in different camps. And that’s what she wants. Admit it.

Taylor: No, I’m not going to admit it. Guess what, brooke? This has nothing to do with you. I know that is so hard for your little brain to comprehend that something isn’t about you. But, it’s not. This is about thomas having a happy life with his son.

Ridge: So you guys had a– a reasonable conversation, and then all of a sudden the paint started flying, is that correct?

Taylor: That’s exactly what happened.

Ridge: This is crazy, look at you guys! Covered in this stuff. You should see yourselves!

And it’s easier than ever to get

your projects done right .

Hope: I know how much you love douglas. And of course, you wanna spend as much time with him as possible. I mean, who wouldn’t? And I support that. But, he doesn’t have to leave our family, our home, in order for you to do that.

Thomas: This is really hard. I– I– seeing you worried or afraid, that’s the last thing I want.

Hope: Well, you know me well. Except, it’s not for me. It’s for douglas. Because he loves us, and he loves being a big brother to beth. And to take him out of that life that he’s known for so long.

Thomas: It’s gonna be fine, hope. Douglas is having so much fun over at granddad’s house. He’s getting to hang out with his family. He’s learning about his birthright. This isn’t about taking douglas away from you. I– I don’t know if I can ever put into words just how grateful I am for you. You gave douglas unconditional love when he needed it. You gave him a blanket of security when he longed for it. And I’ll be the first to admit, I was– I wasn’t able to give that to him. There was a time. But things have changed. I’m a better person now, and I only want what’s best for douglas. He is my number one priority. With–

[ Sighing ] I need to be with my son, hope, and he needs to be with me. And I think deep down, you know that. So do me this favor. Come over to granddad’s, and you’ll see that there’s nothing to be afraid of. And that that place is a great place for him.

Ridge: Have a good look. Take it all in.

Brooke: But, I don’t want to.

Ridge: Unbelievable.

Brooke: Oh, dear.

Taylor: Oh, no.

Brooke: Okay. You know, I think you’re gonna thank me one day.

Taylor: What? For all the laughter I’ve had at your expense?

Brooke: No, for finding the color that suits your personality. Green, with envy.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Taylor: Like, that I’m envious of you? Ridge, please make her stop. What is the color of delusional? Is it–

Ridge: No, no, no, no, no, no. No more of that. I just bought this suit, bought this shirt, I like the way it looks. No more paint fights. No more fighting at all. We gotta learn to be a blended family. We gotta learn to do what is right for douglas. Can we agree on that, please?

Brooke: Of course.

Taylor: Not a chance. I’m kidding. I’m kidding, I’m kidding, we all want what is best for douglas. And I really do believe that he is going to end up exactly where he belongs.

Brooke: Yeah. At home. With hope, and liam and beth.

Ridge: Oh. We are really making progress here. Let’s do something that we can all agree on. You guys hit the showers, you know where they are.

Taylor: I think that’s a good idea.

Ridge: This is silly.

Taylor: I know, I know.

Brooke: A shower sounds like a good idea. But, I have an even better idea.

Ridge: What?

Brooke: I shower with you.

[ Brooke laughing ]

[ Ridge laughing ] You care to join me? Hm?

Ridge: Hm.

Brooke: Oh. Oops.

[ Ridge sighing ]

[ Brooke laughing ]

Ridge: That’s funny.

Brooke: Oh. Look… ridge. I know you’re feeling a little caught between us in this situation with douglas, but just know one thing. That I love you, and you love me. And there’s nothing, or no one that will ever come between us. Right?

Ridge: Mm-hm.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Adam: Well, thank you for the coffee. What did I do to deserve this?

Chelsea: You set me straight about my short-lived podcast career, and you even managed to cheer me up a little bit.

Adam: Oh, wow. I think I’m the one who should be thanking you, though. You were the one who made me reconsider how to handle my father and made me realize that I should give more thought to jack’s offer.

Chelsea: Well, I was glad to steer you in the right direction.

Sally: Hi, guys. How are you? It’s like a newman fashion reunion. Remember those days? Good times.

Chelsea: Good times? I think we have a different recollection of that experience.

Sally: Of course, you moved on to bigger and better things with those excellent podcasts. Riveting. You and billy have great chemistry. It sounds like you’re having a lot of fun.

Chelsea: Thanks. I think.

Sally: Mm-hmm. You must be thrilled to have found this new calling.

Adam: Sally… what’s going on?

Sally: [ Scoffs ]

[ Knock on door ]

Nick: Hey.

Victoria: Hey. Gosh, I’m glad you’re here. We need to strategize.

Nick: About what?

Victoria: Well, we need to figure out a way to deal with adam. Sally just told me about adam’s attempt to get her to publish this article about dad’s covering up ashland’s death. And I’m just sitting here trying to figure out a way to stop him.

Nick: Dad and I just ran into adam at society. He’s definitely on the warpath. He’s planning to use the police report to — I don’t know — seek justice.

Victoria: We need to stop him. I mean, obviously, sally refused to publish the article, but there are other media outlets that would be happy to drag the newman name through the mud.

Nick: What are you thinking?

Victoria: You know, I don’t have the details worked out yet, but I do believe that sally is the key to this.

Nick: How so?

Victoria: We buy ourselves some time. We — we tell her to let adam know that she’s gonna publish the article, make him believe that she’s on his side.

Nick: So, you want to use sally as a pawn. Absolutely not, vick.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Laughter ]

Tessa: Dominic loves the bubbles.

Mariah: Who knew? A little bit of water and some dish soap. We could have saved hundreds on presents.

Devon: Yeah.

Chance: I think the invitation said no presents.

Mariah: No one ever believes that, especially with daddy warbucks on the guest list.

Devon: I don’t know what you’re talking about. I restrained myself.

Mariah: This is restraint?

Devon: Yes, this is, actually.

Abby: Well, you are gonna love the theme of today’s party. It’s gonna mean a lot to dominic, and it cost absolutely nothing.

Tessa: Ooh. What is it?

Abby: We are gonna make a time capsule of dominic’s first year. Everyone’s gonna write a couple notes, and I am gonna seal them in this box. And when dominic turns 18 and he graduates from high school, he’ll open it.

Devon: That’s a really, really great idea, abby.

Mariah: Yeah, we are definitely stealing that for our future kid’s birthday.

Tessa: [ Laughs ]

Abby: Alright, so, everyone, just write a couple sentences of what your best memory of dominic’s first year was. I want him to know how loved and supported he was since day one. For you I wish many things…

Mariah: Okay.

Tessa: Can I read what you wrote?

Mariah: No. It’s gonna be a surprise.

Tessa: What? We’re gonna read it in, like, two seconds.

Mariah: [ Laughs ]

Abby: Alright, is everyone done? Should we read them?

Mariah: Uh, okay. I will go first.

Abby: I knew you would.

[ Laughter ]

Mariah: “Dear dominic, I will always remember when my pregnancy test was positive. We had no idea how cute and fun you would be then, but that was just the start. Love you, mariah.”

Tessa: Aww!

Abby: That’s so sweet.

Tessa: Okay, well, I’ll go next. Um, “dearest dom, I remember the first time I saw you. It was an ultrasound. You were so tiny, but it was clear to anyone who saw that image you were super cool. Love, tessa.”

Mariah: You know, we should have visuals in the time capsule, you know, like the sonogram or maybe other photos.

Abby: Yes. I love that idea. I’ll make that happen.

Devon: That would be really cool. I’ll go next. “Dominic, the day you were born was exciting and nerve-wracking and exhilarating, but at the end of the day, I was thrilled to be helping bring you into the world, little man.”

[ Laughter ] “You were immediately loved by everyone. Love, devon.”

Mariah: I love how you didn’t include the part about the psycho that kidnapped me. It was very — very sensitive. Thank you. I appreciate that.

Devon: No problem, no problem.

Tessa: What did you write, abby?

Abby: I wrote, “my dearest son, I can tell you that my favorite day of your first year was when your father came home from overseas and got to meet you for the first time.”

Chance: That’s my favorite, too.

Abby: Yeah. Yeah?

Victoria: Why are you opposed to asking sally to go along with my plan?

Nick: I don’t think it’s fair to enlist her in a newman family fight. Vick, I had a heart-to-heart talk with her earlier. She has been nothing but loyal to the family and the company.

Victoria: You’re right. You’re right. She’s shown that she’s on our side.

Nick: Then let’s keep her out of it. We will reward her for informing us what adam was up to. Plus, she’s still dealing with her heartache from her breakup with adam. It’ll just get messy and complicated.

Victoria: The goal is to protect you and dad, so we have to keep the cover-up and the fact that you delivered the punch that killed ashland — we have to keep that from becoming public knowledge.

Nick: I don’t need protecting, okay? That’s what got us here in the first place. All this talk about protecting me — it’s making me start to understand adam.

Chelsea: As much as I love being praised for my podcast, this seems suspicious.

Sally: Nothing is going on. Just a little thing called being polite. Unless that’s a foreign concept to both of you. I will just leave you to your chat.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

Adam: Sorry about that.

Chelsea: Mnh, I can take it. She doesn’t scare me.

Adam: Forgot how tough you can be.

Chelsea: Well, thanks for the advice.

Adam: Am I being dismissed?

Chelsea: No. I just thought you’d want to get in touch with jack, you know, about what we talked about.

Adam: You’re right. I should get going. Thank you for the talk in the park. Gave me a lot to think about. Okay.

Chelsea: Bye.

Adam: Bye.

[ Door opens and closes ]

Sally: Well, you certainly didn’t waste any time. Ughh!

Chelsea: You’re acting jealous and possessive. You’re obviously very sad that adam no longer looks at you with affection. Clearly, what you guys had was based on lust. It’s obvious by how quickly it’s crashed and burned.

Sally: What adam and I had was very special.

Chelsea: Oh, I’m sure it was…to you. And now you’re having a really hard time accepting that it’s over and you’re lashing out to the people around you and I’m the closest target.

Sally: [ Scoffs ] The truth is —

Chelsea: The truth is, what adam and I have has lasted for years, and we have a child together. You don’t get to just drop in and say whatever you want anytime you see the two of us together. We are finally in a great place. We can sit together, have a normal conversation like normal people, and I am not gonna let you get in the middle of that. So, whatever’s going on between adam and me, friendship or otherwise, it’s not really any of your business.

[ Door opens ]

Sharon: It’s hard to let go of him, isn’t it?

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Devon: He loves it.

Abby: Mmm! [ Chuckles ]

Tessa: So, what did you write?

Mariah: I wished for him to find unconditional love.

Tessa: Ooh!

Mariah: And you?

Tessa: Well, I wrote that i hope he finds his passion, the thing that he wants to do with his life, and that we would be there to support him in every way.

Mariah: I also addressed it to “bowie.” Do you think that’s gonna make any sense in the future?

Tessa: Yeah. I think so.

Mariah: Okay. Let’s go home.

Tessa: Okay.

Devon: Vroom, vroom, vroom!

Abby: Oh, are you two leaving?

Mariah: Yeah. Sorry, guys, but we have to get the new face of marchetti to, well, marchetti.

[ Laughter ]

Chance: Well, good luck, tessa. We know you you’ll crush it.

Tessa: Thank you.

Abby: You’re gonna do great, and we’re so excited for you.

Devon: Here you go. Yeah.

Abby: Come see mama.

Devon: We all can’t wait for that ad campaign, but I know your fans are looking forward to you fully recovering so you can get back to doing what you do best.

Tessa: Yes.

Devon: So, on that note, i need to get to work. Dominic…

[ Laughter ] …Happy birthday, man. I love you. I’ll see you later this week, okay? You guys did a great job with this party. Thank you for everything.

Abby: Thank you.

Devon: See you.

Abby: Bye.

Tessa: Happy birthday, dom.

Abby: Say “bye-bye.”

Mariah: Bye-bye.

Abby: Can you say “bye-bye”?

Dominic: Bye-bye.

Abby: Bye-bye!

Mariah: Thanks, guys! See you soon!

Abby: Thanks for coming. Mwah! Can you blow kisses? Mwah! Mwah!

[ Chuckles ] Well, um, you were pretty quiet this afternoon. Did you think my time capsule idea was silly? I — I just thought it was a fun way for all of us to come together for dominic, but did it make you think about all the time you missed with him, or is something else bothering you?

Victoria: What do you mean, you understand adam? What are you talking about?

Nick: I can appreciate his frustrations with dad and his constant interfering, how he gets under his skin, how he has to fight the urge to constantly teach him a lesson.

Victoria: I’m so sick and tired of adam lashing out every time his little ego gets bruised. He just takes things too personally. It makes him look weak. It’s why I think, ultimately, he’ll never succeed at business.

Nick: I’m not defending him, vick, okay? I’m not. But I understand what is motivating him. I mean, look at me. I didn’t want dad’s help. I didn’t want it. But it was forced upon me, and you’ve been in the same position.

Victoria: We are nothing like adam. Don’t you even insinuate that this would unite us against dad.

Nick: That’s not what this is, okay? And as frustrated as I am with dad, I will handle things very differently than adam. I’m not saying I agree with what adam’s doing, but I get it. It’s just too bad that he’s regressed because I was starting to be, you know, cool with the new adam.

Victoria: The new adam is a fairy tale. I never bought his so-called transformation, and clearly he’s up to his old tricks. He’s trying to publish slander about our father.

Nick: It’s not slander, vick, if it’s true. Dad was behind a cover-up.

Victoria: A cover-up of an accident. So there was nothing to actually hide. Look, chance made his decision, so as far as I’m concerned, it’s over.

Victor: That’s right. It is over. Okay?

Victoria: How long have you been standing there?

Victor: Long enough. Happy to see the two of you working together, and you, son, are finally back where you belong. And as far as threats are concerned from adam, don’t you worry about it. I’ll take care of it. I have taken care of bigger things than that, alright? Now, I suggest we celebrate, celebrate that we put this dreadful chapter behind us. I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Sally: It’s just so humiliating, getting dressed down by chelsea.

Sharon: Well, she’s very good at pushing people’s buttons.

Sally: Yeah. Especially mine.

Sharon: But is it chelsea or adam who has you triggered?

Sally: I’m trying to let go of him.

Sharon: I know the feeling.

Sally: It’s so hard.

Sharon: But it can be done. I’m proof of that.

Sally: I thought I was through the worst of it. Adam finally admitted that he broke up with me to ensure that I kept my job. And even though I pushed him to tell me the truth, it did not feel any better hearing it. It just made the wound raw again, to know for sure that he was willing to purposefully hurt me like that in some misguided attempt to protect me.

Sharon: Well, that’s an unfortunate newman trait.

Sally: He just caused me too much pain, and there was no going back, you know, after he made it clear to me that he didn’t trust me enough to bring me with him on his new path.

Sharon: What new path?

Sally: He’s out to get his father.

Sharon: Again?

Sally: [ Scoffs ] Yeah. It seems that there’s no escaping his love/hate cycle with victor.

Sharon: Did you ever consider that him telling you that he doesn’t trust you is just, um… it’s another way of protecting you. I’m sure adam didn’t want you to get caught in victor’s cross hairs.

Sally: Do you really think that’s a possibility?

Sharon: Yeah. The, you know, father/son battles in the past have been, you know, pretty nasty. And I can’t imagine adam would want you involved.

Sally: Yeah. I mean, maybe. Maybe he is looking out for me. But it doesn’t matter because I’ve realized that there is no way for adam and me to move our relationship past his daddy issues. I know you warned me about that before and I didn’t listen. But I finally get it now. Victor will always be adam’s primary relationship.

Adam: Hey, jack, it’s me. Um, we should talk. I’ve been reconsidering your offer. It’s interesting. So, call me back.

[ Glasses clinking ]

Victor: To the future of newman enterprises.

Victoria: The future. The future is very bright. And like I said on the video call, the company is on track to be stronger than ever — and not because ashland is gone, but because nicholas has joined us, which is very reassuring. And it’s also very exciting. It’s very good for the family and very good for the company. To the newmans, together.

[ Glasses clinking ]

Nick: Alright.

Victor: I got to tell you, after the video conference, the various division heads felt very confident now that the company is in the hands of my family, your mother, in your hands, and in your hands, okay? I love that. My family running newman enterprises. Let’s drink to that again.

Nick: Alright.

[ Glasses clinking ] And let us drink to the fact that ashland locke is now part of history, okay?

Victoria: I suggest that we never say his name again and pretend like he never even existed.

Victor: Exactly.

Chance: Abby, I’m not upset about lost time with dominic. That’s not it.

Abby: So, you weren’t hurt by the reminder that you weren’t here when dominic was born?

Chance: No, abby. Look, I’ve — I’ve done enough work in therapy where I’m past the point of getting upset about that. I really enjoyed having a picnic with you and our baby boy and all of our good friends. And I really enjoy creating these memories as a family. I promise.

Abby: Okay. Then why were you so quiet all afternoon?

Chance: [ Sighs ] I, um… I just got some things on my mind, you know? I don’t want to get into it right now, not on his birthday.

Abby: Chance, please. Just tell me. I want to know what’s going on inside your head.

Chance: No, you’re right. I should — I should be honest with you.

[ Chuckles ] I’m just still worried about shutting down this investigation into ashland’s death. That’s it.

Abby: Oh. I thought you had put that to bed when you closed the case.

Chance: Well, it’s, uh, not that simple. I had some loose ends to take care of, and, uh…well, I might have filed the report, but i just can’t stop thinking about it.

Abby: Chance, you have to stop second-guessing yourself.

Chance: Abby, I realize that. I’m just trying to reconcile the decision I made here.

Abby: And you made the right one. My family is very grateful.

Chance: Okay, look, I want to talk to you about this. I really do. But you were just so sure that i did nothing wrong.

Abby: Of course you didn’T. Because I know you.

Chance: Abby, you don’t understand. If I can’t talk to you about it, who the hell am I supposed to talk to? I mean, I can’t go around town saying, “well, my father-in-law committed a crime, and I’m having trouble letting it go.”

[ Sfx: Cricket mnemonic] People who come to cricket,

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

[Sfx: Buzzing ] This is pretection

Abby: Chance [Sighs] Look at what this is doing to you — to us. I never meant to influence you. Yes, the newmans are my family, but they’re your family, too. And I’m sorry. I mean, are you having second thoughts?

Chance: Just don’t worry about it, okay? It’s all good.

[ Cellphone vibrating ] I’m sorry. Give me a second. Yeah?

Abby: Hello. Hello.

Chance: Okay. I’ll be right there. Okay. I have to go.

Abby: Where are you going?

Chance: I have to meet an informant about rey’s open cases. Once I wrap this one up, I’ll be done. That’ll be his entire caseload.

Abby: Well, that’s great, but do you have to do it right now, I mean, in the middle of this important conversation? Can’t someone else cover for you?

Chance: It has to be me, abby. He was my partner. I have to see this through.

Abby: Okay, well, can you just promise me that when the cases are closed that maybe we could just get away for a little bit, just the three of us? You know, even if it’s just for a long weekend. We need this. Our family needs this.

Chance: I’ll think about it. Bye. I love you. Happy birthday. [ Smooches ]

Abby: Bye.

Chance: See you back at home.

Abby: Bye, dada.

Chance: I love you.

Abby: Love you. Bye, dada. Say “bye.”

Dominic: Bye-bye.

Abby: Bye-bye, dada.

Dominic: Bye-bye.

Abby: Bye-bye.

Dominic: Bye-bye.

Abby: Bye-bye.

Adam: Well, isn’t this cozy? Or, at the very least, efficient. I can address you all.

Victor: Son. Why don’t you sit down and join us for a drink?

Adam: Oh, that won’t be necessary. Matter of fact, andy, can you bring their check to me? I would like to pick up their tab today.

Victor: That is not necessary, okay?

Adam: Well, just to show you that there are no hard feelings on my part.

Victoria: What are you up to, adam? Why do you feel the need to drag the family into another fight?

Adam: I just bought you lunch and a very expensive bottle of champagne. That’s not a combative gesture, victoria.

Nick: You sure you’re not looking for a battle?

Adam: Not at all. Had an epiphany about my life with the help of someone that’s very close to me, and I’m not coming after the family. No revenge. Not going down that road again. I want to focus on my own life, and that means not falling into old traps, usually set by our father. So, enjoy yourselves.

Victoria: I’m sorry, but I’m not buying it. Why would he go to all of the trouble to get his hands on that police report if he wasn’t gonna use it to his advantage? What do you think, nick?

Victor: Don’t you worry about a thing, okay? I will deal with him.

Abby: Did you have fun, dominic? I know I did for a while. Oh. [ Chuckles ] Sleeping. I will get you home soon.

[ Sighs ] You only turn one once, dominic. And I cannot wait for you to graduate high school and open this box with all of these special notes from our special family, all of these people that love you so much.

Devon: Hey. Glad you’re still here.

Abby: Hey. What’s wrong?

Devon: I forgot that — oh — I was having my little buddy watch my tablet for me.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: You alright?

Abby: Yeah. Yeah. I’m just a little emotional. Well, can’t believe dominic’s turning one.

Devon: I know. It’s a big milestone.

Abby: Time flies.

Devon: It sure does. Are you really okay, though?

Abby: I can’t fool you.

Devon: No, you can’T. Why don’t you talk to me?

Abby: [ Sighs ] I guess I was just expecting this day to go differently than it did.

Devon: I thought everybody had a really great time.

Abby: Yeah, yeah, we did. It’s just, after everyone left, I was hoping to have some time with chance, you know, just the three of us, but he got called away on a case.

Devon: Oh. I see. I mean, that’s a part of his job. You know that.

Abby: Yeah. Yeah. It’s — it’s not just that, though. It’s the way that he’s been viewing his cases lately. It’s all he can think about, all he talks about. And there’s this one investigation that wasn’t as cut and dried as he likes and… I know I’m gonna sound like a terrible person, but, I mean, if work is consuming you like that, I mean, isn’t it something wrong? Doesn’t that mean that something’s off? I mean, for me, family is first always. I mean our family, with dominic.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: It was just how I grew up with my mom’s family and my dad’S.

Devon: No, I completely understand. Neil instilled the same thing in me, you know? And I miss him every day for it. But do you really think that chance doesn’t feel the same way about family as you do? ‘Cause he — he’s crazy about you guys.

Abby: I know. And he has put us first in some recent situations. But there are other times…

Devon: Yeah. Well, honestly, abby, I think that chance is just built differently. Like, of course, family is important to him, but his sense of right and wrong and his commitment to his job is such a big part of who he is. Standing up for what he believes is right and holding people accountable when they break the law — it might be right up there with family for him. And that’s just something that you have to understand and remember that, even though his priorities might shift from day to day, they’re both still there.

Abby: Thank you for saying that.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: But, you know, I was taught that family is first and everything else comes second. So sometimes it’s hard for me to understand.

Devon: I know exactly what you mean ’cause you grew up with victor newman as a father.

Abby: Dad always puts family first, sometimes at the expense of everything else.

Devon: Well, chance isn’t like your father.

Abby: He definitely isn’T.

Devon: But I know that he loves you and he loves dominic. And I guarantee you that you two are his first priority, as you should be.

Abby: Thank you.

Without the right start

to your day…

Sharon: I thought your relationship with adam could survive his conflict with his father.

Sally: So did I.

Sharon: But now he’s alone again, looking to fight victor.

Sally: I’m alone again, too. I’ve never really been a fan of that.

[ Chuckles ] I mean, how do you handle it? The loneliness. Oh, my god. I’m sorry. I — I just blurt things out sometimes. I did not mean to be insensitive. I just know that you — you recently lost rey.

Sharon: No. That’s okay. I don’t mind talking about it. But you know there is a difference between being alone and being lonely. Yeah, I may not be in a romantic relationship, but I am surrounded by people who I love the most in the world.

Sally: That’s wonderful.

Sharon: Yeah, it is. And surviving cancer made me feel differently about being alone.

Sally: How so?

Sharon: Well, I, um, want to make the most out of every day. I don’t want to waste any of my time. I certainly don’t want to waste time feeling sorry for myself. And I don’t mind spending time by myself. I actually cherish it.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] I love that outlook. Maybe one day I will get there.

Sharon: Yeah, well, I’ve also realized that life can change in an instant, and that might make one feel a little worried, but the people I’m surrounded by — they make me feel safe.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] Like nick.

Sharon: Yeah. He is one of those people.

Sally: I mean, he always just seems so supportive of you. It must be a really big help not having an ex who’s an enemy.

Sharon: Well, um, you know, it hasn’t all been rosy, but i know that nick is a good man and I know how lucky I am to have him in my life.

Nick: Hey.

Adam: Dad and victoria abandon you?

Nick: There’s a lot to do at the office.

Adam: I’m sure.

Nick: So, is this epiphany of yours for real?

Adam: That’s right. I had a vision for how I want my life to go, and it did not involve wreaking havoc at newman enterprises.

Nick: What happened? Why the abrupt shift?

Adam: I had a conversation with someone who enlightened me and convinced me that I was going down the wrong path.

Nick: So, we’re just supposed to take your word for it that you’re not gonna be a threat?

Adam: Look, you all are gonna believe whatever you want to believe, okay? But I do want to say one thing to you, nick — that none of my anger and issues are with you. You’ve been nothing but fair and honest since faith’s accident, and this all has to do with dad as far as I’m concerned.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Look, here’s the problem, adam. If you change your mind — and we both know there’s a very strong possibility that happens — and you weaponize what you know about ashland’s death against us, then I do get hurt.

Adam: Look, I think you should worry less about me and more about the people in your camp.

Nick: What does that mean?

Adam: Come on. Now that you’re back into the fold, one wrong move and dad is gonna turn on you, too.

Nick: You think I don’t know what dad’s capable of? Look, I don’t like the way he handled things that night.

Adam: [ Sighs ] You mean the night that you killed ashland locke?

Nick: That was an accident.

Adam: Of course it was an accident.

Nick: You weren’t there, alright? You don’t know how much danger vick was in and why I had to jump in.

Adam: Look, I do believe that you had no choice. And believe it or not, I am glad that you were there to protect victoria.

Nick: It also shows how much dad loves us and how far he will go for us, which includes you, adam. I wish you could drop some of your resentment towards him.

Adam: So do I. So do I. But I don’t know if that’s ever going to happen.

Nick: [ Scoffs ] I mean, for you to even think about using what dad did to protect his children against him is pretty low, especially when you think about how many times in the past you have needed the police to look the other way for something you did.

Adam: Would you stop? I told you, I’m backing off. I swear to you that I want to find a new path.

Nick: I really hope that’s true.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone pings ]

Billy: Maybe because with goodbyes there is a sense of loss. But there’s also room for new beginnings.

[ Cellphone thuds ]

Chelsea: [ Breathes deeply ]

[ Sighs ] Connor. Hey, how are you? No, no. I know. I was just missing you. Not flossing well?

Sharon: So, was this just a meeting, or did they take pictures?

Tessa: Just a few test photos.

Mariah: But the first ad shoot is coming up very soon now. And you should see the clothes that she gets to wear.

[ Laughs ]

Sharon: That is so exciting.

Tessa: Yeah, it’s gonna be a lot more fun than I thought.

Mariah: And you haven’t even heard about the best part of the day.

Sharon: Best part? You mean there’s more?

Mariah: We got to go to dominic’s first birthday party, and he was so amazing.

Tessa: And it made us realize…

Mariah: We don’t want to wait any longer.

Tessa: We’re gonna dive back into the adoption process.

Sharon: Wow. That is such great news. I am so excited for both of you. I can’t wait for your next chapter.

Tessa: [ Laughs ]

Victoria: Oh, gosh, I think i have too much of a champagne buzz to go over those fourth-quarter projections.

Victor: [ Chuckles ] Well, I’ll admit to you — and only to you — that once or twice I had maybe one tequila too many when I looked at the books and made a deal. You know what I’m saying?

Victoria: [ Laughs ]

[ Sighs ] You know, dad, I don’t think i told you how grateful I am for what you did for us that night. You were looking out for me and nicholas. You risked — you risked a lot to protect us, and I just appreciate it so much. Thank you. I’ll never forget it. Mm. I love you.

Victoria: I adore you, okay? I wish your brothers felt the same, you know?

Victoria: Oh, daddy. I think that deep down in nick’s heart, he does.

Victor: Mm.

Victoria: Adam, on the other hand — I have no idea what’s going through his head.

Victoria: I don’t ever want you to worry about that. I will do whatever I can to protect my family, even if that means to protect you from one of our own.

Adam: Well, just remember this. As much as dad’s instinct was to protect us by covering up A.J. Montalvo and locke’s deaths, what he did prevented us from processing the consequences of our actions. They both were accidents. They both were self-defense, yes. But you and I — we never had to publicly face what happened. Dad covered it all up, made it look like we weren’t even there. I don’t know about you, but for me, that meant I had to bury all these feelings about killing a man in the deepest part of my psyche.

Nick: You were just a kid.

Adam: Mm-hmm. And someone was looking out for me — my father. You know, he thought he was helping, but he was actually doing the opposite. What he was essentially saying is, “you did something wrong. I fixed it. Forget about it. Move on with your life.” But taking a man’s life is not easy to forget, nick. The problem is, the more you push those memories away, the more that they come back. I suppressed what I did in kansas for a long time, and it turned me into who I am today. Is that what you want, nick?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Sighs ] I almost forgot where we were. So…last night at the quartermaines’, that wasn’t a nightmare. What happened? It happened. Someone tried to kill ava. It has been hours since the last status report. Somebody needs to tell me an update on my wife’s condition. I’m sorry, but there’s been no update since — would you give me the head of surgery?! Mr. Cassadine. Oh. Ava’s been in surgery all night. I can’t get an answer from anyone. Can you please help me find something about my wife? I can try. I just need to know what happened to my wife. That makes two of us. Um, I-I was out on the terrace for a while, then I helped distribute desserts. Before that. In and out of the kitchen. And you? I was probably on s’mores duty around the time ava was injured. And before? I was manning the grill. Yeah. So, uh, how much longer is this going to take? I have just a few more questions.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Okay. Hang tight. Of course. Drew, why are you so antsy? If you seem too eager to get away, they’re going to think you have something to hide. I just… I just want to check on carly.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] Carly: What has gotten into us? I’m betting it’s the apron that did it. It is rather fetching. Yeah. Or… we chalk this up to what it is. An attraction that we no longer ignore. Josslyn: Morning. Hey! I didn’t expect you up for hours. Yeah, well. Here. I think you need this more than I do. Thank you. Yeah, I didn’t really sleep last night. Oh, of course not. After everything you went through last night? My god. You saved ava’s life. I just keep replaying it in my head. It’s like I’m outside of my body watching as I hold that towel to stop the bleeding. And you know I don’t love ava, but I couldn’t let her die. And before she passed out, she was so scared. All she wanted was for me to hold her hand. Oh, god. Baby, I’m so proud of you. I hate that you went through that. Well, is there any news? No, not yet. Avery? She doesn’t know. Sonny and I are trying to decide when to tell her. I don’t think trina knows either. She had a meeting at pcu this morning, and she’s supposed to come here after.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Knock on door ] Got your messages. All five of them. I’m sorry. I couldn’t sleep. I felt horrible about what happened. It’s all I could do to stop from driving over to your house. So I just kept calling, hoping you’d pick up. Yeah, I should have. No, it’s okay. I was just worried. You seemed like you were in shock after you found out what happened to ava. Yeah, well, I think what happened is pretty shocking, don’t you? It’s horrible. It just seems like you shut down. You wouldn’t even let me drive you home. Finn, I don’t want to revisit last night. Being close to violence just really makes me nervous. Did you see something last night?

[ Banging on door ]

[ Groans ]

[ Banging continues ]

[ Muffled ] Alright!

[ Banging continues ] Alright! Alright! Alright! Alright! Okay.

[ Banging continues ] This better be a damn emergency! It is a damn emergency.

[School bells]

I knew it. You knew what? There’s something going on between you and carly.

[ Scoffs ] Joss is the one that found ava near death, and so of course I’m worried about joss and carly both. And avery! Carly’s probably wondering what to tell her. And you have the answers? I just want to see if carly needs anything. Uh-huh. As friends do. Okay, cousin, no offense, but what’s it to you? Why are you so interested in me and carly? Before yesterday, pure nosiness. But cousin to cousin, today, I don’t want to see anyone waste as much time as I did. Oh, it’s so good to see you. How are you? Oh. Better than I’ve been in a long time. Pcu just dropped my title ix violation against me. Oh, my god! That’s such great news! Oh, finally. Did they apologize while they were at it? Yeah, well, I met with the title ix coordinator and the dean an hour ago, and, yes, they apologized for the previous finding. Nothing will be on my record and I can continue with the rest of my class in the fall. Oh. That is great on their part. They should have done that. I hoped they would. But, you know, I was still nervous. Hey, I really wanted to go with you. It was just kind of a crazy night. It’s okay. It all worked out. And now I can really enjoy my party tonight. So, your mom must be over the moon. Have you talked to her? Yes, she is super excited about the title ix determination being dropped, but we didn’t really get to talk because she was getting ready for work at the hospital. But, um, I can’t wait to tell ava. And — you know what? I think I’m going to stop by the gallery before — trina, um… actually, I don’t think that there’s a point, um, in going to the gallery today. Why? Did something happen to it? No. Something happened to ava.

[ Door closes ] Were you nearby when ava got attacked? Did — did you hear something or see something? Nikolas? What are we…? No. Oh, god. It happened again. I’m losing time. I only know what you know. When I couldn’t reach you on the phone, I just — I got a little worried. I — I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to worry you. I just needed some time to myself. Because you’re angry with me for contacting sarah.

[ Sighs ] Listen, I… I was wrong, elizabeth. I was so wrong, and I tried to apologize, but last night you said I wasn’t your anything. You…

[ Sighs ] You still mean that? I just have a couple questions. Right. Nina: Nikolas? Hi. Is ava out of surgery? What the hell are you doing? Don’t step closer to me. Same as you. That’s what I’m doing here. No. Ava’s my wife. She’s nothing to you! Okay, listen to me. It’s not a competition. Ava’s the mother of my child. She happens to be a good friend to somebody that means a lot to me. Sonny, please. Listen, we are not here to upset you. We’re worried, same as you. I want you gone, sonny.Well, I want you out of here. So I guess neither of us is going to get what we want. Problem, gentlemen? I sincerely hope not, as this is a hospital. And I’ll have no qualms about escorting you out. No problem, commissioner. Good. Mr. Cassadine, I’m told the surgeon will be out to speak with you shortly. Is ava gonna recover? They couldn’t share details because I’m not family. But I believe ava’s in post-op recovery. Thank god! They — they didn’t say if she’s conscious? Or — or — or did she say what happened? Uh, send coffee…and a carafe. On second thought, send two. Thank you. Victor: I see housekeeping hasn’t been in yet. I apologize for the surroundings, uncle victor, but I don’t imagine that you’ll be staying long. You know, you don’t make it easy to track you down. Although registering here as fred flintstone was a bit of a giveaway. Yeah. Carly banned me from the hotel, and olivia has a long memory. So, what was so urgent? Is ava dead? Not yet.

[ Breathes shakily ] How do you feel about that? Ambivalent. You? Much the same. Not angry? What, that ava was attacked? That the attack wasn’t more…successful. Oh, well, now, that’s a rather callous point of view. Who would think that? The person responsible. You.

So, you and chase are officially a thing now? Well, I don’t know what we’re calling ourselves, but, yeah, we’re together. About damn time.

[ Chuckling ] Yeah, I know, right? Seems like a lot of people were pulling for us. Oh. I’m just really happy you didn’t give up on each other. Me, too. So now do you see why I’m meddling? No. No idea. Jokes aside, drew, if you and carly have real feelings for each other, if there’s a chance at happiness, don’t let this window close. We actually did sort of have a, uh… a breakthrough yesterday. And? And… that is the extent of your helpful nosiness. Thank you very much. I will take it from here. Mr. Cain, you’re not clear to leave. I have just a few more questions. I have to go to the hospital.I need to see how ava’s doing. No, no, let me change, and I will go with you, okay? Josslyn, please check on the girls. Yeah. Avery stayed here last night. Poor baby. I can’t believe I’ve been fighting over a stupid school judgment, and ava’s been fighting for her life all night.

[ Sobs ] Hey. Your school judgment isn’t stupid. You got your future back. But what about ava’s future? Why didn’t you guys tell me what was going on? Because josslyn didn’t get home till after midnight. She had to give a statement to the police. And she didn’t tell you because she didn’t want you to miss your appointment this morning. It’s too important. There’s nothing you could have done anyway. You understand that, right? Yeah, I do. Thank god that joss found ava. I just — I-I can’T… what about avery? Does she know what happened to her mom? No, we don’t want to tell her until we have some concrete information. She’s just so little to just have her life turned upside down. And she’s already dealing with a lot. Yeah. Including me and sonny’s divorce. Yeah. Yeah, but you’re a constant. And ava knows that, too. Thank god that avery has you. You’re suggesting that i attacked ava? My dear boy, you must still be suffering from that alcohol-fueled evening you had. We all know the lengths that you would go to protect this family. And perhaps you felt that ava was becoming a liability. Oh, she was. But do you really think I’d stab her? No. Of course not. You’d never risk getting the blood splatter on your italian loafers, but sending an operative to kill ava at a party with a million suspects… it’s definitely in your wheelhouse.

[ Chuckles ] Clever boy. And the, uh, police commissioner probably has that figured out, too. So it might be time for you to take an extended vacation, look in on the house at cassadine island. Oh, don’t mistake yourself, spencer. I’m not complimenting your cleverness in having me all figured out. No, rather on you being clever enough to start deflecting suspicion from yourself. Let me, um — let me lay it all out for you. Ava controls your fortune, your money. In other words, she controls you. She flung your father and girlfriend’s betrayal in your face, which turned your world on its axis yesterday. Your rage drove you to consume an obscene amount of alcohol, loosening your inhibitions. The attack was up close and personal. You see, my dear nephew, you have as much reason to kill ava as anyone. I’m her husband. Maybe he’ll talk to me. Hold up. I have a few questions for you first. Looks like ava’s going to be in recovery for a while before they put her in the icu room. You want to get some breakfast? No. No, thank you. I’m not hungry. I’m just going to stick around here. Your — you — is it all right if — I’m going to go check on avery. Yes, of course. And thank you for spending the night with me here.

[ Chuckles ] What’s up? Nikolas just seems a little more wound up than he usually is. Yes. I think he’s probably terrified. What do you mean? Of what? As soon as I get the all clear from ava’s doctors, I’ll question her. But until then, do you have any information that can aid this investigation? No, not really. What was that with you and sonny earlier? It’s just raw nerves.

[ Clears throat ] Are you sure that’s all? Things looked pretty tense. I’ve been up all night. You know what? Thanks for the update, commissioner. I need to get black coffee. Oh, you can’t go. I’m sure you don’t want to miss the surgeon. And until he arrives with more information, help me out, mr. Cassadine. Walk me through everything that happened with ava at the picnic yesterday. I asked you not to interfere, and you called my sister? You crossed a boundary I had clearly drawn. How am I supposed to feel about that? I understand. I-I… I shouldn’t have done it. Obviously, I won’t call sarah back. The damage is already done. She’s going to assume that I messed up somehow. I never even spoke to her. How would she? Oh, you don’t know her. You’re right. You’re right, I don’t know anything about your family ’cause you never speak about them. And I’m not trying to justify this, but the only reason why I reached out is because I was concerned about you and your health, and I felt like I had no other alternative. Than go behind my back? Ignoring me when I’ve asked you not to mention my parents again? It was arrogant of me and disrespectful. Please. Just let me know how I can make this right. You can’T.

But she isn’t the one who betrayed me. That was my father, and I did not try to filet him… yet. Hmm. You know, I almost believe you.

[ Sighs ] So you didn’t attack ava? Sorry. I was too busy emptying the contents of my stomach onto the quartermaine azaleas. Ah, that is curious. I was certain you did it. So…you didn’t do it? Well, leave ava alive and you without a clear alibi? My dear boy, I may be many things, but sloppy is not one of them. I’m relieved to hear this. But I would never have turned you in. Well, neither I you. I haven’t forgotten the reason you’re headed to pentonville. Turning down that plea deal and not turning me in for arranging your visit to your — your mother’s grave. You have a lot of strength in you, spencer. More than your father, I’m afraid. Who was also at the picnic and angry with ava. Can my father account for his whereabouts? I…believe…not. Maybe he’s the one we should be looking to protect. I can’t believe that a fun day has ended in this. Take your time. You know, I wish that I could tell you everywhere that ava was last night, but we were at the quartermaines’ for hours. We were on the grounds, in the house, we spoke with olivia and sonny. When was the last time you saw ava? It was in the den. Were you alone at the time? No, I was with spencer, and then ava left, and it was just me and spencer. Did she say where she was headed? I think she was going to get a drink. Does she seem upset? Worried about anything? This is what you always wanted, ava, to see the relationship with my son destroyed, huh? It killed you to see us get close. That is absolutely not true! Because it hurt too much, knowing that you would never get the chance to heal with kiki that I had with spencer. But you’re the only one to blame for that. Why would you ask? Just trying to ascertain your wife’s state of mind. Has ava had any conflicts with anyone recently? Any troubling phone calls? No. And things are fine at home? God, I don’t know why. Honestly, I don’t know why you are wasting your time with me when you could be out there trying to find the person that tried to kill my wife. We’re questioning everyone who was on the quartermaine grounds last night, and the department is actively engaged in tracking down leads. Oh, really? Sonny and ava are constantly having ongoing custody issues, and I don’t see you grilling him. As I’ve stated, I will be questioning everyone. But tell me, why are you so resistant to providing answers? Mr. Cassadine? You know, avery has a whole family who loves her, ava included, and I’m sure she’s going to make a full recovery. But whatever happens, I will always protect avery as if she’s my own. Josslyn: Look who’s here.

[ Gasps ] Oh, good morning.

[ Chuckles ] Hi, avery. You’re getting to be such a big girl now. Yeah. Too big for donna’s bed, which is exactly where I found her. Oh. I was reading to her, and we fell asleep. Uh, donna’s still out like a light. You are a wonderful big sister. Did you have fun sleeping with your little sis? I’m hungry. Okay, let’s find some breakfast.

[ Chuckles ] Alright, let’s see. Are you ready to go? She’s my friend, joss. I don’t know what I’d do if I lose her. Okay, so do you want some scrambled eggs, oatmeal with strawberry and bananas? That sounds really good, huh? I want daddy’s pancakes. Hey, kiddo. You know, I didn’t appreciate how you used my boys to justify your actions. All I was saying is they’re struggling, too. I would never subject them to harm. You were very concerned before. Well, you’re not a psychologist, finn. And just because I have shared some aspects of my life with you does not give you the right to intervene at will. Not at all what I was trying to do. Look, you have every right to be angry with me. Oh, gee, thanks. Everything I say is going to be wrong, right? Okay. Well, look, if you want to end things with me over this, I understand. I just have one thing to say first, and then, if you want to leave, I… I promise I’ll let you go. Okay. Yeah, go on. I love you. And I just want you to be happy, and however you choose to get there, I just want to be on that journey with you. Why should we protect my father? He is the worst of us. And that’s saying something in a family with stavros and helena.

[ Scoffs ] You’ve never lived with stavros and helena. Nonetheless, we must protect our family first. I never agreed to that. Spencer, look, you know I am deeply disappointed in your father, but remember, he is also your grandmother’s son. Now, how do you think laura would feel if you turned your back on him? Grandmother asked us both to behave while she was away. Nikolas made a mistake. We cassadines hold each other accountable in-house. So if the police should come asking questions, you must say nothing to implicate your father. Why should I lie for someone who has done nothing but lie to me? Because I’m asking you. Just omit to any reference to what you learned about your father and esme yesterday. You do that, and you may be rewarded. That sounds a little vague. What are you going to do, take me out for ice cream? I’d like you to be more specific. Protect your family, and you might get your hands on your birthright earlier than you expected. Even if I omit, what will ava say when she wakes up? Assuming she does. Leave ava to me.

We managed to repair much of the damage, but we’re keeping her in the icu, where she’ll need to be observed for possible complications. What kind of complications? Peritonitis, sepsis, bowel infarction. I’m sorry, but is that serious? Her condition is serious but stable. Oh, thank you. Can I see her? Briefly. Will you let me know the minute she wakes up? I’ll clear it with her doctor. Wait, what about visitors? Just those who are approved, like family. Thank you. Excuse me. Okay, the person who did this to ava, they’re still out there. Please do everything you can to find this monster that did this to her. I will chase down every clue. No matter where it leads.

[ Sighs ] Do we understand each other? I understand what you expect. I’m not fully convinced that I should agree. Oh, for heaven’s sake, spencer. You went to great lengths to dupe your girlfriend into revealing trina’s innocence, yet you won’t agree to mislead the pcpd for your father’s sake? Trina — she must’ve heard about ava by now. Well, your concern for your friend is very touching. I just wish you could show the same kind of loyalty to your family. Thank you for dropping by, uncle victor. I can’t stay. Well — sonny: Uh, hope you don’t mind. I-I let myself in. Special circumstances. Okay, so one batch of chocolate chip pancakes coming up, but you’re going to have to clean that face and get yourself dressed. Let me mix in the chips, okay? Oh, as long as it makes it into the batter.

[ Chuckles ] Go. Go, go. Go, go.

[ Chuckles ] How you doing? Josslyn: Fine. Any news about ava? Yeah, I got a call on the way here that she got out of surgery, and they’re going to put her in the icu. Good. We’re on our way there now. Let dex take you. He’s waiting for me in the front. Um, josslyn told me everything that happened last night, and she said this dex kid helped her save ava’s life. Oh, dex did more than help. I mean, he told me he used to be a soldier. The ambulance, if we had waited, it wouldn’t have worked. I mean, he saved ava’s life. You both did. Dex is a good guy to have around. Let him take you to G.H. And wait. Okay. Thank you, mr. Corinthos. Text me. Mm-hmm. You mind? Go ahead. Were you at the hospital all night? Uh, yeah. I’ll get the griddle. Thank you for your statements, mr. Cain, ms. Quartermaine. We’ll be in touch.

[ Sighs ] Finally. I’m all for being thorough, but that was taking forever. Brook lynn, I will see you later. Oh, oh, drew, one more thing before you go. Chase has been crazy patient with me. It helps. Hmm. I’m a pretty laid-back guy, but I can’t really say that I share chase’s fortitude. Well, nobody does, but you are a close second on the thoughtful scale. Take your cues from carly. Noted.

[ Cellphone ringing ] I was just thinking about you. I just need some time to think. Take all the time you need. And whatever challenges I might have, you’ll let me work through them in my own way? In my own time? You can do that? I can. And I will. Advice will be given only when asked. It’s hard for me, elizabeth, not to try to heal. Occupational hazard or something, but that’s my challenge. And I need to realize I can’t always have things my way. Finn, I have to tell you something. Something really strange happened to me last night.

[ Knock on door ] I’m busy! Jordan: It’s commissioner ashford. Thank you. Commissioner. I only have a few questions. Okay. Oh. Nurse baldwin. Great. I was looking for you.

Ll, donna is still sleeping.I’m not going to wake her up. That’s all right. We got more pancakes for us. Sweetie, your daddy and I, we want to talk to you about your mommy. Is mommy coming over for pancakes? Uh, no, baby. She’s not gonna be able to do that. Your — your mommy… got hurt last night. Is that why she didn’t pick me up? Yeah, that’s why. Is mommy okay? You know what? Your — your mommy’s got a lot of people at the hospital taking care of her. That’s right, and until she gets better, you’re going to stay with us. How does that sound? I want to see mommy. I know you do. I just don’t think you’re old enough. Then can I see daddy nikolas? Thank you. So, the nurse said only family can see ava right now, but, um, she’ll let me sit in the waiting area of the icu. Thank you so much for coming with me. Oh. Of course. And thank you for saving ava’s life. Joss told me you were the main reason ava’s alive. Joss did her part. It was definitely a team effort. Well, I’m just grateful to you both. Um, can you see that joss gets home? Get some rest, please. And, um, I’ll keep you posted. Alright. Okay. Bye. So, sonny couldn’t give you the morning off? Ah. Not even after saving avery’s mother? I wouldn’t have taken the time, even if he offered it. Still feeling a little fuzzy after last night, so it’s better to be working. Well, thank you for stepping up. Truly. I mean, ava is not my favorite person in the world, but she is avery’s mother, and she’s a dear friend of trina’S. I couldn’t have done it by myself, so I’m really glad that you were there. Ditto. Sorry for freaking out so much. I’ve seen people with a lot more training completely lose it over a lot less. You did okay. I need brief statements from both of you about last night. Of course. Would you, uh — would you like a seat? Oh, no. Not necessary. Okay. Ouch. What happened to your head? A tree branch at the quartermaine picnic. Thankfully, you didn’t suffer anything worse there. Are there, uh — are there any leads, commissioner? My team is constructing the timeline. This was a particularly vicious crime with a woman’s life hanging in the balance. Until I can question ava, I have to rely on the other attendees’ accounts. With so many people there, anyone could be an eyewitness and not even realize it. That’s why it’s vital I gather information while it’s still fresh. Yeah. No, of course. Yeah. Thank you. With everyone’s help, I’m positive we can piece together what happened here and identify this butcher. Whoever he or she is.

[ Monitor beeping ] Nikolas must be worried about mommy, too. Can I go see him? Please?

[ Sighs ] You know what? You’re going to have to take one more bite, and then we can go. How’s that? There you go. Alright. Take my car. Are you sure about that? Yeah, yeah. The booster seat’s already set up. Come on, give me a hug. Oh, you’re a strong girl. Mm! Bye, mama carly. Bye, sweetie. I’ll see you later. Go. Let’s go, daddy.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Gonna get my jacket.

[ Sighs ] Alright.

[ Door rattling ]

Well, you’re here early. You want some coffee? That would be great. Thank you. Okay.

[ Cabinet door opens, closes ] So –so —

[ Both chuckle ] Look, I’ve been, um… I’ve been thinking a lot about last night. Kind of all I’ve been thinking about, actually. Every five seconds? Now it’s pretty much constant. I’ve been thinking a lot about it, too. Nina. Nina: Hi avery, you know ms. Reeves, right? Mommy’s friend. Hi. Yeah, I am your mommy’s really good friend. Are you here to see her? I’m hoping to see her. How’s she doing? She’s d-doing okay. She was moved to icu, and I’m just waiting to see her. Can we, uh, wait with you? That would mean the world to me.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Come on, honey. Thank you for not calling sonny over. You’re avoiding him? I just do not feel like dealing with nina right now, and I have to go. I just — I hate the thought of leaving trina right now. Plans? Yeah, with cameron. My boyfriend. Oh. The, uh, guy I met at the pool the other day? Oh. Don’t worry about trina. The boss will let me stay and make sure she makes it home. Mm. Dutiful to a fault. I see my commitments through to the end. Wow. I wish I could say the same about your boss. Based on the blood loss at the scene, my officers believe ava was injured just before she was discovered. That gives us a short window for the approximate time of attack, somewhere between 9:45 and 10:00 P.M. Well, that’s, uh… that’s probably around the time I-I-I ran into maxie and spoke to her briefly. Thank you, dr. Finn. And you, nurse baldwin? What? Can you remember where you were during that time? I wasn’t expecting to see you here, especially knowing how you feel about ava. I’m sorry that ava got hurt. Mostly because it hurts you. I figured you’d be here. You’re here for me? Always. And as, uh, my uncle victor often reminds me, we support family, no matter what. And ava is family. And you want to support your father, too. If you’d only listened to me, ava… it would have never come to this.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Days of Our Lives logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ej: I expect you to be smiling down on us today, father.

Tony: Ah, well, hello, ej.

Ej: Something wrong with the front door?

Tony: Oh, no, I was down at the crypt; I was supervising the caretaker. He finally put up a plaque in jake’s memory.

Ej: Oh, you weren’t worried that might be a waste of time?

Tony: What does that mean?

Ej: Didn’t you hear? Our dearly departed brother is still alive.

[Suspenseful music]

Ava: You’re alive? You’re really alive? Oh, my god.

[Door clicks open] Jake?

[Machinery beeping]

[Cell phone rings]

[Cell phone beeps]

Rolf: Yes, mr. Shin?

Shin: Why haven’t you been answering your phone, rolf? I’ve been calling since last night.

Rolf: Yes, well, I’ve been otherwise occupied. Stefan’s currently blissfully unconscious, but it’s been quite an effort to keep him that way.

Shin: Well, you better do what it takes. That was a close call at the mansion. Thanks god it was ava who answered the door and not someone else.

Rolf: Yes, that’s a pure stroke of luck that she mistook stefan for jake, or our undead friend’s escape would have been catastrophic!

Shin: I’m not cleaning up your mess again, rolf. Next time stefan wakes up, he better be completely over his feelings for gabi.

Gabi: What about me?

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Kristen: Did I just hear you say that my brother escaped your custody?

Rolf: Li, I have to go.

[Cell phone beeps]

Kristen: I have put my whole future in your hands, and you can’t keep tabs on a half-dead man?

Rolf: As you can see, he’s right here.

Kristen: Yeah, but he wasn’t, was he? And you didn’t tell me.

Rolf: Li and I had the situation well in hand.

Kristen: Ah, ooh! Please just tell me that you have managed to make progress on getting stefan to forget his feelings for gabi. Is he feeling romantic towards chloe lane?

Rolf: I’m afraid there may be a small problem on that front.

Shin: Gabi, hi.

Gabi: Did I just hear my name?

Shin: Oh, uh, yes. I was speaking to my father. He wanted a status update.

Gabi: On what?

Shin: Everything. Me, the company, us.

Gabi: Us? Wait, but what did you tell him?

Shin: The truth, that I’m head over heels for you.

Gabi: I hope he approves.

Shin: He wasn’t thrilled at first. He was worried that our relationship would get in the way of business. But he can’t argue with success. Company’s doing better than ever when it comes to product releases, stock prices way up.

Gabi: Yeah, I mean, if you don’t count basic black. Nobody there’s happy since kristen forced me to put her in charge.

Shin: Is she still making chloe’s life a living hell?

Gabi: Every single day. You know, I wish there was something I could do, but kristen stood up for me at the shareholders’ meeting, so I gotta keep her happy. Unfortunately, we do have the matter of ava vitali.

Shin: Mm.

[Door shuts]

Ava: Oh, it’s you.

Johnny: Wow, uh, never seen that much disappointment on a woman’s face, geez.

Ava: I’m sorry. Sorry, I just, um, I wasn’t expecting you.

Johnny: Yeah, I was just– I was out for a run on the grounds when I saw the door of the crypt open– freaked me out a little bit. No disrespect to the dead or anything, it’s just, uh, last time I was in here, satan was hanging out right over there by that sarcophagus, so…

Ava: Yeah, well, I haven’t seen him here today.

Johnny: What–what are you doing out here?

Ava: Your family just put up the plaque for jake, and so even though we’re waiting on the medical examiner for his ashes and he hasn’t been interred yet, I feel close to him in here.

Johnny: Yeah. I understand.

Ava: Mm.

Johnny: Uh, ava, when I walked in just now, I heard you say his name.

Ava: Yeah, um, you’d probably think I’m crazy, but for a second there, I thought that–

Johnny: You–you thought I was jake?

Ava: Yeah. I mean, especially after last night.

Johnny: What happened last night?

Ava: No one told you?

[Chuckles] I thought it was gonna be the talk of the house.

Johnny: Ah, I wasn’t around, so…

Ava: Oh, okay, well, I was meeting with gabi, and someone was at the door, and when I went to open it, jake was standing there.

Johnny: What?

Ava: Well, I thought– I thought jake was standing there. I mean, he was so real. He was standing there in his hospital gown, the one he died in. I touched him. I felt him.

Johnny: All right, but how– ava, how is that possible?

Ava: [Sighs] I don’t know. I d– [Sighs] I don’t know, but– I don’t know; I got so overwhelmed, I just passed out, and then when I came to, li was standing there, and he told me that it was him that I saw at the door.

Johnny: You sound like you don’t believe that.

Ava: Oh, I know very well what jake looks like. He’s who I saw. I would swear to it.

Tony: What do you mean that brother jake is alive?

Ej: In ava’s mind, anyway.

Tony: I’m afraid I’m not following.

Ej: I’m surprised you didn’t hear about the commotion yesterday. Gabi found ava passed out in the foyer. When she came to, ava insisted that she saw jake at the front door.

Tony: But he wasn’t, of course?

Ej: Not unless you believe in ghosts.

Tony: So what do you think actually happened?

Ej: Apparently, it was li at the door. Ave was obviously hallucinating. I’m afraid that poor woman has gone round the bend. I’m worried for her.

Tony: Oh, are you really?

Ej: Yes, she suffered a terrible loss and is clearly not dealing with it well.

Tony: Ah.

[Chuckles] You’re saying all the right things. But I can see that look in your eye. What are you up to?

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis persists…

Chloe: Kristen can’t honestly think that she will get full custody of rachel.

Brady: I told you, since her pardon, she is feeling invincible. Maybe she is.

Chloe: I don’t know, I mean, even if her record’s been wiped clean, every person in this town could testify that she is a dangerous criminal.

Brady: Chloe, you–you’ve– you’ve been through a custody battle. The judge is usually gonna side with the biological mother, right?

Chloe: Well, not when the said mother is kristen dimera.

Brady: Officially, kristen dimera is this fine, upstanding citizen. In the eyes of the law, hell, she–she didn’t even commit the crimes; they don’t exist.

Chloe: Mm. Well, um, what if she’s committed a crime since she’s been pardoned?

Kristen: What do you mean “there’s a problem”?

Rolf: Stefan’s feelings for gabi are proving more powerful than I anticipated.

Kristen: So?

Rolf: So I was attempting to stimulate his brain last night and inadvertently roused him.

Kristen: Okay, what do you mean “roused”?

Rolf: He leapt out of bed, desperate to get to gabi. I couldn’t stop him!

Kristen: Okay, so you let him go?

Rolf: There was nothing I could do!

Kristen: Oh, my god, did gabi see him?

Rolf: Thankfully, li and i were able to get to him before he could reveal himself to her.

Kristen: Okay. So nobody saw him? Rolf…

Rolf: Unfortunately, ava vitali did see him.

Kristen: You’re serious?

Rolf: Yes, but it’s all under control.

[Chuckling] She was believing that she was hallucinating her dead husband, jake.

[Laughs]

Kristen: Are you sure?

Rolf: Yes.

Kristen: Okay, then we dodged a bullet, unlike jake. So you will fix this, right?

Rolf: I knew this would be a challenge. But the man’s been dead for four years and woke up with one singular thought– getting back to his wife.

Kristen: How touching.

Rolf: It’s a powerful love, kristen, more powerful than I knew. To be honest, I don’t know whether it can be overcome.

Gabi: I was gonna throw ava a bone; give her a meaningless job title, and, you know, make her happy.

Shin: While ignoring her more outrageous demands.

Gabi: Yeah, but during our job interview, she answered the door and imagined her dead husband.

Shin: Mm, that certainly was unfortunate. The look on her face before she passed out, it was like her brain had short-circuited from the trauma. Imagine mistaking me for jake.

Gabi: Yeah, I just hope she takes the title, takes the salary, gets out of the way, and just rests.

Shin: I hope so too. You seem a little stressed out.

Gabi: Yeah.

Shin: You doing okay?

Gabi: I’m hanging in there, li, okay? Blackmail, secrets, lies; it’s a lot.

Shin: I hear ya.

Johnny: Are you saying you don’t think jake’s dead?

Ava: No, I mean– [Sighs] Honestly, I don’t know what I’m saying. I mean, I was there at the hospital when he died. I said goodbye.

Johnny: And there–there’s no doubt that he’s gone, right?

Ava: No, but… then I started having these waking dreams, where jake would come to me and we would– we would talk.

Johnny: So couldn’t last night have been a dream too?

Ava: No, no, it–it–it felt too real. Like I told you, I touched him. I felt his breath. You know, I guess last night could’ve been some sort of flashback or ptsd or something. I don’t know.

[Chuckles] Maybe I’m just crazy.

Johnny: Ah, my, uh, my grandma marlena would tell you that she doesn’t believe in that word, and also you’re talking to a guy that was possessed by the devil, so–

Ava: Yeah.

Johnny: Nothing sounds crazy to me anymore.

Ej: What makes you think I’m up to something?

Tony: [Chuckles] First of all, you’re you.

Ej: Fair point.

Tony: Yeah, well, let’s face it, ej. Ever since you found out that ava was married to jake–

Ej: Allegedly married to jake.

Tony: Yes. You’ve been trying to get your hands on her dimera shares.

Ej: Have I?

Tony: Why else did you move her in here?

Ej: She’s family, and she needed help.

Tony: Oh, please. You just used the word “allegedly” to describe her marriage. Now you want me to believe that you think of her as family?

Ej: Okay, so maybe I did have a plan.

Tony: Oh, what was that, win her over with your many charms?

[Chuckles] Oh, please don’t tell me that your plan is to seduce your brother’s widow.

Ej: It doesn’t matter what I was planning. The situation changed and it resulted in some tension between ava and me.

Tony: Ah, romantic tension?

Ej: I have no desire to build a relationship with a lunatic.

Tony: Oh, that hasn’t stopped you before.

[Chuckling]

Ej: But you have to admit her delusions are concerning.

Tony: Mm-hmm. Then are you concerned about her?

Ej: I’m concerned about this family and the company. Even if ava’s vote was legitimate, and I still have my doubts, how can we trust such an unstable shareholder to faithfully uphold her responsibilities?

Tony: Oh, please. By that standard, you’d have to oust half the shareholders.

Ej: Perhaps, but today, I only need to oust one.

[Dramatic music]

After trying lots of things to manage her

Brady: As far as I know, since she’s been pardoned, kristen has been on her best behavior.

Chloe: You mean, other than literally trying to kill me at the office yesterday?

Brady: What?

Chloe: I–I didn’t wanna say anything to you, ’cause I didn’t wanna worry you.

Brady: No, well, okay– too late; now I’m worried. What–what the hell happened?

Chloe: To be honest, I’m not even sure how serious she was about stabbing me.

Brady: Hold on, she tried– she tried to stab you? What?

Chloe: She threatened to stab me with a letter opener.

Brady: Oh, god! What?

Chloe: Yeah, she picked it up, and she said she was gonna plunge it through my heart.

Brady: Chloe, oh–

Chloe: I told you she was not gonna be satisfied just torturing me with the passive-aggressive powerpoint critiques.

Brady: No, no, no, no this– I’m not gonna let her get away with this.

Chloe: I didn’t say this– I don’t want you to get worked up.

Brady: Well, I’m worked up! This woman is unhinged, obviously. I’m not gonna let her around my daughter. She’s not gonna get full custody. She’s not gonna get any custody!

Kristen: You promised you could get stefan to fall out of love with gabi and in love with chloe.

Rolf: I know what I said.

Kristen: And as you know, I need stefan to come between brady and chloe so that I can get my family back.

Rolf: I will do my very best, but even if I’m successful–

Kristen: When! When you’re successful.

Rolf: I cannot promise to make chloe return stefan’s feelings!

Kristen: Well, then do the same procedure on her! I don’t care; whatever it takes! Rolf, I need–I need this to happen.

Rolf: You seem agitated– more than usual.

Kristen: Agitated? Agitated? Do you know how long they kept me from my daughter? I got to–I got to see her yesterday, and she is so big, so grown up.

[Sighs] Oh, my god. Just being with her just melted my heart, and brady, he ripped her away from me without letting me say goodbye.

Rolf: That’s not right.

Kristen: You’re sh–amn straight it’s not right!

[Sighs] I need to be with rachel. I need us to be a family again.

Rolf: I want that too. But happens if I can’t come through for you?

Kristen: You will! You will come through for me, rolf. I am–I’m gonna be with brady and rachel, and stefan is gonna be with chloe, and everyone is gonna live happily ever after.

Rolf: Everyone except for gabi hernandez.

Gabi: [Sighs] I’m sorry you got dragged into this whole ava thing. I mean, you did say you wanted to know everything.

Shin: I’m glad you told me that her marriage to jake wasn’t real. We’re in this together, gabi.

Gabi: Yeah, and we do make a hell of a team, don’t we?

Shin: We sure do. Like I said, stock prices are at an all-time high, profits are way up.

Gabi: Are they? This kind of talk is making me a little hot.

Shin: Oh, I haven’t even started talking about revenue…

Gabi: Mmm…

Shin: Mmm…

Gabi: But don’t stop.

Shin: Cash flow…

Gabi: [Giggles]

Shin: Mmm. Long-term projections.

Gabi: Mmm. Long-term projections?

[Sultry music]

Tony: So you relieve ava of her shares, and then you call in another vote of the board to install you in gabi’s stead. Do I have that right?

Ej: In a nutshell. I’d have six votes in total– mine plus kate and chad’S. I also have johnny and theo’s proxy, and of course, yours.

Tony: Of course.

Ej: And in the event of a tie vote, status quo prevails, which is how gabi was able to retain her position when kristen sided with her at the last meeting. However, without ava’s vote, it’s 6-5 in my favor.

Tony: Oh, well, I hate to be the naysayer here, but how do you plan to disqualify ava’s vote? Li makes those decisions.

Ej: Yes, and from the arcane rules of the dimera board, he also has his own vote too.

Tony: By that standard, he’s gabi’s lover and confidant, and even if ava was waltzing in here singing a duet with jake, well, li’s not likely to disturb the current power structure.

Ej: You’re absolutely right, tony, which is why I had to go over li’s head.

[Both chuckle]

[Suspenseful music]

Wei: What is the meaning of this?

Shin: Father! I was taking my antidepressant daily,

Ava: Thanks for being so cool about this.

Johnny: I just want you to be okay.

Ava: Mm, you know, I shouldn’t be surprised because you have been so nice to me ever since I moved in here.

Johnny: Eh, you’re my friend, and you’re part of the family now, so nobody gives you crap and gets away with it.

Ava: Oh– [Chuckles]

Johnny: What?

Ava: Oh, no, it’s just that sounded very vitali-esque of you right there.

Johnny: Ah, maybe the vitalis and dimeras aren’t so different.

Ava: You know, I was so eager to put my past behind me and just forget about my old life. You know, pretend it never happened. And then I ran into jake here in salem, and all of a sudden, it–it was a comfort to have that shared past, you know? An understanding between the two of us. Then it turned into something more. You never know where life’s gonna take you.

Johnny: No, no, no you don’T. Ava, I’m so sorry for your loss, and I didn’t mean to interrupt this, you know, private moment you were having.

Ava: No, no, no, I appreciate it. I appreciate everything that you said. Thank you.

Johnny: Yeah, any time. Um, I will let you be with jake.

[Dramatic music]

Tony: So you went over li’s head to his father?

Ej: I put in a friendly call to wei, told him there were a few matters that required his urgent attention here in salem.

Tony: So what did he say?

Ej: He’s calling a shareholders’ meeting here shortly.

[Sighs] Soon the company will be restored to the dimera family as it rightfully should’ve been all along.

Johnny: Uncle tony.

Tony: Ah.

Johnny: Dad. What’s goin’ on?

Shin: Father. Uh, wh– what are you doing here?

Wei: I wanted to discuss some important matters such as this workplace relationship.

Shin: I told you gabi and i were involved, and you gave us your blessing.

Wei: That was before I found you fornicating on company property!

Gabi: Mr. Shin, listen–

Wei: A little grace would involve locking the door.

Gabi: Yeah, we’ll definitely do that next time.

Wei: Next time?

Shin: She was just joking, father.

Gabi: I’m–I’m so sorry. This is all my fault, mr. Shin.

Shin: No, no, it was mine. I got carried away. It won’t happen again.

Wei: It certainly won’T. If you’ll excuse me, it was a long flight. I need to freshen up.

Shin: [Sighs] I’m so sorry that happened. I know that must be mortifying.

Gabi: You told me you just got off the phone with your dad. Why didn’t you tell me he was in salem?

[Cell phone ringing]

[Cell phone beeps]

Kristen: [Sighs] I assume you’re calling because you got served.

Brady: Full custody? Really, kristen?

Kristen: Maybe if you didn’t yank rachel away without letting me say goodbye to her yesterday, I would’ve settled for joint custody, but obviously, brady, you don’t wanna play fair.

Brady: Oh, and what is fair, this–this emotional blackmail you’re trying with rachel, telling her that we’re gonna be a family again?

Kristen: [Sighs] Well, it’s obvious that you don’t wanna be co-parents now or in the future, so I think that you’ve had full custody for long enough. Now it’s my turn.

Brady: It will never be your turn. Chloe told me how you nearly stabbed her at the office yesterday.

Kristen: So dramatic. If I wanted to kill chloe, she’d be dead.

Brady: You threatened her with a letter opener?

Kristen: That’s what she said; her words against mine, and if you put her on the witness stand, we will make her look like the desperate home-wrecker she is.

Brady: Kristen, I didn’t wanna go to war with you.

Kristen: You could’ve fooled me.

Brady: But you’ve gone too far once again. I tried to work it out with you, so here’s the deal. You are never getting rachel back–ever!

[Cell phone beeps]

Johnny: You were talking about the family business, about how something will be restored as it should’ve been all along?

Ej: Restored? Oh, yes, yes! Yes, of course. I was thinking of having father’s portrait touched up a bit. There’s always been something about the eyes that’s just not quite right.

Johnny: Looks fine to me. That’s exactly how I remember nonno looking.

Tony: That’s a perfect likeness.

Ej: All right, we’ll leave it, then. Ava’s not here, by the way, so no need to continue to parade around half-naked.

Johnny: I was on a run. It’s hot out, and I know that ava’s not at the house, ’cause i just ran into her at the crypt.

Ej: Popular destination today. What, pray tell, were you doing there?

Johnny: I saw the door open. I just–I wanted to make sure everything was okay.

Ej: Ava was inside?

Johnny: Yeah, yeah, I’m pretty sure I freaked her out when I walked in.

Ej: Mm, did she tell you that she saw your uncle jake’s ghost or whatever he was?

Johnny: Yeah. Yeah, she told me she saw jake.

Ej: And what exactly did she say?

Johnny: Just that it felt real, you know? She touched his face. She was sure it was him. But she–she–she couldn’t explain what was happening. She thought she must’ve been maybe hallucinating, seeing her dead husband standing there when it was actually li.

Ej: Poor woman.

Johnny: She said you were comforting. I know you two have had your issues, so I’m glad you were kind to her when she needed a friend.

[Suspenseful music]

Ava: Oh, jake. I know you’re not here. I know you’re not gonna walk through that door. I guess I just wanted it so badly that my brain made it happen. And I know–I know that our marriage wasn’t real, but my love for you was and always will be. And I hope– [Chuckles] I hope you don’t mind what I did–you know, that I’m lying to your family. I will admit that I became a dimera partly out of selfishness and–but mostly babe, I did it for you, because I am gonna do all the things that you never had the chance to. This is for you, jake.

[Machinery beeping]

Kristen: Brady wants to keep me from rachel. He can’T. He won’T. You need to speed this up.

Rolf: [Scoffs] I can’t just snap my fingers and reprogram stefan’s brain. It’s a process.

Kristen: Well, process faster.

Rolf: It doesn’t work that way. I have to use subliminal associations to reinforce positive memories of the early days of his budding romance with chloe. Similarly, negative associations will be paired with his memories of gabi.

Kristen: And then what?

Rolf: Then stefan’s brain will do the rest of the work. New neural pathways will evolve, and he will be in love with chloe and disgusted by gabi.

Kristen: You’re gonna test it before you let him out again?

Rolf: Of course. He will not step foot out of this room until his heart and mind are fully reprogrammed.

[Cell phone beeps]

[Sighs] I have to go.

Rolf: What’s wrong?

Kristen: Uh, I have been summoned by wei shin for a meeting at dimera. I wonder what this is about.

[Suspenseful music]

Shin: Yes, I spoke to my father earlier. He must’ve been at the airport, but he never mentioned to me that he was in salem.

Gabi: Why would he keep that from you?

Shin: I know it sounds strange, but this is how he operates. He’s been doing it since I was a kid. He’d show up at my school, make sure I was working hard enough. Even at university, he’d appear unannounced to see who I was spending time with, confirm that I wasn’t doing anything to displease him or dishonor the family.

Gabi: Sounds like he’s got major trust issues.

Shin: Big ones. And he likes to catch me off-guard.

Gabi: Well, he succeeded at that. I just hope there aren’t any consequences from this.

Shin: I guess we’ll have to find out. Father, again, I deeply apologize for what you just witnessed.

Wei: Well, it certainly could have been worse. Now, call the custodian staff and get someone to scrub that table.

Gabi: I will handle that.

Wei: Well, you better hurry. I just summoned a meeting of the dimera shareholders.

Gabi: For what– for what purpose?

Wei: You’ll see. Announcer: Type 2 diabetes?

Ava: Am I interrupting?

Ej: No, no, we were actually just talking about you.

Ava: Really, what about?

Ej: I was going to suggest that we hold a small service for jake as soon as we’re able to inter his ashes–a chance to honor our brother’s memory, assuming it’s all right with you as his widow.

Ava: That would be, um, nice. Thank you.

[Cell phone beeps]

Ej: Oh, this is strange.

Johnny: What is it?

Ej: It appears wei shin is in town.

Tony: [Gasps] Is he?

Ej: Mm. He’s the chairman of the board of dimera.

Ava: I’m aware.

Ej: He’d like us to go to dimera for a shareholders meeting. He wants us there asap.

Ava: A sudden shareholders meeting? Is this a common occurrence?

Ej: Hardly.

Ava: So you have any idea what this is about?

Ej: Not at all.

[Dramatic music]

Shin: You’re not gonna do that; we pay people for this.

Gabi: [Sighs] I’m not afraid to get my hands a little dirty. I just–I don’t want your father to have any excuses to try to depose me from power.

Shin: He can’t even if he wanted to. I have a vote; he doesn’T.

Gabi: He still has a lot of influence here.

Shin: Not enough to change things, especially when you’re doing so well.

Gabi: Well, then why is he here? Why did he call this meeting?

Shin: I don’t think it has anything to do with us. Jake died, and his shares wound up in the hands of a former crime boss. Plus, kristen’s out of prison and making waves.

Gabi: That’s a lot of uncertainty.

[ Relaxing music ]

Steffy: How was the water?

Finn: Wet.

Steffy: Oh. [Giggles]

[ Finn laughs ]

Steffy: Why do I set you up every time?

Finn: Because you enjoy my sense of humor. It’s probably your favorite thing about me.

Steffy: That is true. But my absolute favorite thing is that you’re here. And you’re alive. And you’re still with me.

Finn: Yes, I… agree. That is something I really like about myself, too.

Steffy: Huh.

Finn: But, to answer your question, the water, it was– it was great. Almost makes me feel like I’m back to where I was. Almost.

Steffy: Yeah. I feel like you’re getting back to your normal self. You’re surfing again. Going back to work. It’s like you’re getting your life back.

Finn: Yeah, but the most important part of my life? The epicenter of my world? Is you. Our kids. Our beautiful family.

Hope: I am trying really hard not to overreact.

Brooke: Oh, honey, why didn’t you just go over there and pick him up yourself?

Hope: Oh, because I don’t want to cause a scene, especially in front of douglas. And besides, I… I talked to him on the phone. I heard how excited he is, mom. And it’s not like I don’t want him to have sleepovers with his dad, I do.

Brooke: Okay. You know what thomas wants. He wants douglas to live with him full time. And that’s what taylor wants, too. She wants that little boy to be taken away from you. We can’t allow that to happen.

Thomas: We may have got a little overzealous with the paint here.

Eric: Oh, absolutely not. I don’t– I don’t think that’s possible. This is art.

Douglas: This one’s almost done. Just needs a little more blue.

Eric: Yeah, I think it’s possible we may have another artist in the family.

Thomas: Oh, wouldn’t that be something?

Eric: It would.

Taylor: Knock, knock.

Thomas: Hey.

Eric: Hey.

Taylor: Hi, uh-oh.

Thomas: Whoa, douglas.

Taylor: Whoa, whoa, what?

Eric: Your hands, you got you got a painter…

Thomas: Everywhere.

Taylor: Oh, okay well, I still– I still need a hug, but I’ll settle for a kiss. Muah!

[ Taylor laughing ] What are you doing, bear? What is all this?

Steffy: Feeling you like this again. Your lips. Your arms. My body against yours. I can’t believe you’re here. Ha, I know I keep saying it.

Steffy: I feel like I just have to keep saying it out loud.

Finn: What do you know? I’m right here. I’m not going anywhere. Except work because, you know, my shift starts later.

Steffy: Yeah, I get that. I’m actually looking forward to getting to work. I can’t wait to see how everything’s going with thomas.

Finn: What? Douglas, you mean?

Steffy: Yeah, he stayed with him at granddad’S.

Finn: What’s hope feeling about all this?

Steffy: Thomas and douglas have been apart for way too long. The only thing that hope should be feeling is gratitude. I mean, if she really cares about douglas, she’ll understand it’s time for him to be with thomas.

Taylor: I am so impressed.

Douglas: Thank you.

Taylor: Seriously, this is so good.

Douglas: Thank you.

Taylor: You’re really good at this. I– I have my eye on this one, right there. Yeah, can I? Can I have that one from my office?

Douglas: Oh, I’m sorry. I was thinking of giving this one to mom because she likes daffodils so much, but–

Taylor: That makes sense.

Douglas: I can make the next one for you, whatever you want.

Thomas: Speaking of mom, we should probably give her a call. I’m sure she’s wondering about you.

Douglas: Yeah.

Thomas: You know what? Uhm, I’m sorry about the mess. We’ll get it all cleaned up for you.

Eric: Wait, mess?

Thomas: Yeah.

Eric: This is not a mess. This is art in the making. All right. Now, leave it as it is. Don’t clean this up at all. I want to join him when I get back.

Thomas: Okay.

Douglas: Hi, mom.

Hope: Hi, douglas. How are you?

Douglas: Great.

Hope: Yeah? You still having fun?

Douglas: So much fun. We’re swimming a lot, riding bikes. Oh, and um, dad bought some paints, um, I’m making all sorts of pictures. One is for you.

Hope: Oh, sweetie, I can’t wait to see that. Um, actually, is your dad available? Because I would love to talk to him.

Douglas: Oh, sure. Yeah. Um, love you, mom. Um, mom wants to talk to you.

Thomas: Oh. Hi, hope.

Hope: Hi, thomas. Um, douglas seems like he’s having fun.

Thomas: Oh, tons of fun.

Hope: I’m so happy

to hear that. But I– I do think it is time to bring him home.

Thomas: Well, I mean, th– this is the forrester home. So, this is his home. It’s where his father lives.

Hope: Okay, but you’ve already had him longer than we originally agreed to.

Taylor: There, yeah, can I…

Thomas: Look, I realize that you miss him, but we need this time together, okay? So… we’ll be in touch soon.

Hope: Okay, but tho–

[ Call ending ] Wait, thomas?

Brooke: What is it? When is douglas coming home?

Hope: I, um… I don’t know. Dry skin is sensitive skin, too.

Brooke: So, thomas wouldn’t say when he’s going to bring douglas back?

Hope: No, just that he’d be in touch.

Brooke: What? Oh, god! This is– this is insane. This is no way to co-parent. Douglas is gonna be so confused. I mean, that just proves that thomas doesn’t have douglas’s best interests at heart.

Hope: Okay, well, then what am I supposed to do? Go to court? I don’t want to put him through that.

Brooke: No, hopefully it won’t come to that.

Hope: What are you doing?

Brooke: Douglas belongs here with you and beth. I’m gonna go over there and find out what the hell is going on.

Hope: Mom!

Douglas: Wait, a picture of outer space like with all the planets and everything.

Taylor: Yes. And like a spaceships and– and aliens, maybe. What do you think?

Douglas: Totally. Oh, but I’m out of black. Dad, please, can we get some more? The best idea, but I need more black paint.

Taylor: What about glitter?

Douglas: Oh, and glitter.

Taylor: Glitter!

Thomas: Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Let’s– let’s run down to the store and get some.

Taylor: Oh, my god. This

Thomas: It’s going to be awesome.

[ Phone pinging ]

Taylor: It’s gonna be… oh, oh, hold on.

Thomas: Everything okay?

Taylor: Yeah, it’s just. It’s a conference call that I was supposed to join. Thank god I setup a reminder. You know what? I can’T. I don’t have time to run back to the office. Can I stay?

Thomas: Yeah, stay, stay. Make yourself at home.

Taylor: Thank you. Okay.

Thomas: All right. Let’s get out of grandma’s way. And yeah.

Douglas: Yeah, let’s do it.

Taylor: All right. I’ll see you guys when you get back.

Thomas: Okay, so if you do some glitter. We should probably set up ground rules. Because that stuff can get everywhere.

Taylor: Thomas.

Thomas: Yeah?

Taylor: I just wanted to tell you how happy I am. I– I have wanted this for you for such a long time, and you deserve it. It’s finally happening.

Steffy: It’s crazy to think how things have turned around for our family. My god. When I saw you in monaco. It’s like our lives changed forever.

Finn: It’s me.

I found you.

Steffy, it’s me.

It’s really me.

Steffy: Oh, my god!

Finn: It’s okay. It’s okay.

[ Bell tolling ]

Finn: That’s a day neither one of us will ever forget.

Steffy: Never.

Taylor: Yeah. We’ll talk soon. All right, bye.

Brooke: [Laughing] Oh. Oh, taylor. Of course. I should have known the ringleader would be here.

Taylor: The ringleader?

Brooke: Behind this ridiculous plan to take douglas away from hope. I’ve been telling everyone…

Taylor: So, I’m the evil ringleader.

[Chuckles] Okay. Well, everyone’s the villain in someone’s story, huh brooke? Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go.

Brooke: Where’s douglas?

Taylor: Douglas is with his father.

Brooke: Where? Is he bringing him home?

Taylor: Yes. Yes, he’s bringing him home, as soon as they finish getting art supplies, he’ll be coming home through that door.

Brooke: No. Home to hope. When is that happening?

Taylor: That’s not my call. That would be between thomas and hope. I’m sure they’ll figure it out.

Brooke: Okay. Hope was very clear that thomas could only have douglas for one night only. Now, she’s been very generous, letting him keep him longer.

Taylor: Okay, I– I do. I– I see the problem. You think that hope can dictate when my son is allowed to see his son? Okay.

Brooke: Oh, wow. Okay.

Taylor: Yeah. I feel the same way. Yeah. Um, my grandson–

Brooke: No, he’s my grandson, too. I thought you understood the other day when I told you I am not letting thomas take douglas away from his home and his family.

Taylor: I understood where you were coming from. But, I don’t agree. Douglas is a forrester. This is a forrester home. So, when douglas is with thomas. His father, his only remaining biological parent? That’s not taking him away, brooke. That’s bringing him home, to his family.

Steffy: Let’s push it to three. I have a two o’clock finance meeting and that usually runs long.

Jimmy: Great, I’ll let them know.

Steffy: Hey, thank you.

Hope: Oh, hi jimmy.

Jimmy: Hi, hope.

Hope: Um, hi steffy, is ridge in?

Steffy: My father is in a meeting downtown. Is this something I can help you with?

Hope: Well, I…

Steffy: Is it about hope for the future? The deadline?

Hope: It’s not about business.

Steffy: Oh. So, this must be about douglas.

Hope: I, um… I wanted to talk to ridge about the situation, yes.

Steffy: Thomas spending time with his son isn’t a situation, it’s life. It’s a normal father-son relationship.

Hope: And I want that for him. Very much. I– I want douglas to have a close relationship with his father.

Steffy: Then, I apologize if I misunderstood your tone.

Hope: The situation is thomas wanting to change where douglas calls home.

Steffy: He’s his father. He has every right to want douglas at his home.

Hope: And I’m his mother. Douglas will always know about caroline and carry those memories with him. But, she’s gone now. I adopted douglas. Thomas and I share custody.

Steffy: How much sharing has been going on? Douglas has been living with you on your mother’s property for a very long time now. I think that’s finally about to change.

Zyrteeeec…

Hope: Why are you acting like there’s some kind of wrong that needs to be righted here?

Steffy: Thomas not having access to his son is wrong.

Hope: And who’s saying that he doesn’t have access? Thomas knows that I fully support him spending as much time with douglas as he wants.

Steffy: Only if it’s on your terms. Look, I appreciate you. You’ve done a great job caring for douglas. But I do feel like–

Hope: Not just caring for douglas like I’m some kind of nanny. I’ve been raising him. And do you need to be reminded why? Reminded of all the things that thomas was doing?

Steffy: Thomas has changed.

Hope: I want to believe that. I do. I’ve– I’ve been trusting him. We’ve been doing a good job co-parenting together. But the way he’s been acting lately?

Steffy: Like an involved father?

Hope: Like he’s not respecting the agreement that we put into place.

Steffy: Douglas is a forrester. Not a logan. So, when it comes to where he calls home, I think it’s pretty clear.

Hope: Okay. Why do you do that? Why do you always have to make everything forrester versus logan?

Steffy: Do you really have to ask?

Hope: Yes, actually. I would love to know why.

Steffy: Because of your mom. She is the master of disaster. I mean, c’mon. If you put yourself in my shoes. You had a woman constantly throwing herself at your father? Who married every single man in your family? I think you’d have a little animosity, too. So, you’re damn right, it’s forresters versus logans. Always will be.

Taylor: Thomas is ready to play a bigger role in douglas’ life.

Brooke: I don’t care if he thinks he’s ready. It wasn’t too long ago when he was highly unstable.

Taylor: Please don’t do that, brooke. Please, he’s worked so hard. Don’t talk about my son like that.

Brooke: Don’t what? Don’t say the truth? Because it is the truth. You know what he was going through. You know better than anybody. You were his psychiatrist back then.

Taylor: Oh, my god. You are exhausting, brooke. Thomas was going through a crisis. And he got through it. He should not be punished for the rest of his life. And, or made to feel like– like he can’t take care of his own son.

Brooke: And my daughter should be made to feel that way?

Taylor: No.

Brooke: She’s the one parent who didn’t use him. Didn’t manipulate him. Didn’t treat him badly. And now you want me to have her just send douglas off with thomas? So, thomas can have him 24/7. No, no. That’s just not going to happen. And you, as the other grandmother. I would think you’d be happy.

Taylor: Huh.

Brooke: But you’re not.

Taylor: What?

Brooke: And I think I know why. Because there’s a lot more at play here, isn’t there?

Taylor: Oh. Okay.

Brooke: There is.

Taylor: Okay. Here comes the logan logic, right? Give it to me, brooke.

Brooke: It is so, so, obvious.

Taylor: What is it? Tell me!

Brooke: You are trying to push thomas to take douglas so that you can create some kind of conflict between ridge and me.

Taylor: Stop, stop, stop. I would never use douglas to try to manipulate a situation with ridge.

Brooke: Oh, my god.

Taylor: Okay? All right. Like you did. All right, this may come as a shock to you, brooke. But this– this whole thing with thomas and douglas is– is not about you.

Brooke: Taylor, stop it. Okay?

Taylor: I know, it’s not about you. This is about douglas being with his father.

Brooke: God. You are so transparent.

Taylor: Really? Okay. All right. You know what? Douglas belongs here, okay? And I– I’m not going to let you or hope try to come between my son and– and this happy life he’s trying to create with his child.

Brooke: And I’m not going to let you use that sweet, little, innocent boy so that you can make a play for ridge.

Taylor: Stop it, brooke. I’ve had it.

Brooke: No. I really need to talk to you.

Taylor: Don’t! Brooke. Seriously, why do you always do this? You always–

[ Brooke gasping ]

Taylor: I’m s– your face. I’m just, seriously. Oh, my god. Oh. Okay, um. Listen, I am– oh, please– all right. Well, you feel better? Is that good?

Brooke: Yeah.

Taylor: Awesome. All right, I’M…

[ Brooke laughing ]

Taylor: Go ahead, it’s fine. I’m good. I’m– I’m not gonna come back?

Brooke: No, I don’t think you–

Taylor: Oh! Douglas. Douglas.

[ Brooke screaming ]

Taylor: Oh, my god. That felt good.

Brooke: Yeah, you didn’t just do that. Did you?

Taylor: I so did. Yeah, I did. Mm-hmm. Um, yeah. Look at you. Huh, nice.

Brooke: Just think I’ll just grab this little thing and…

Taylor: C’mon, go ahead, brooke.

Brooke: Yeah, you want it?

Taylor: Get me all over.

Brooke: You want it?

Taylor: Get me all over my shirt. Yeah, there you go. Oh–

[ Brooke laughing ]

Taylor: All right, all right.

Brooke: Okay, wait. I’m gonna put that down.

Taylor: It’s great. Um. Really awesome, I’m sure.

Brooke: Ooh.

Taylor: That is…

Brooke: You okay?

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: We’re good. We’re done doing that.

Taylor: Mm-hmm

Brooke: What?

Taylor: Yeah.

Brooke: Really?

Taylor: Right there. You know what? Want some more? You need more color? Yeah, like that. Just like that.

Brooke: No, no. You’re not–

[ Brooke squealing ] Stop it.

Taylor: No, no, you stop it.

[Laughing]

Brooke: That’s enough!

Taylor: Oh, is it enough? Is it enough? Is it enough? Is it–

Brooke: Crazy. Oh my gosh.

Taylor: Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Brooke: Okay.

[Indistinct]

Taylor: Okay.

[Laughing] Oh, my god. I was not. I was not expecting this.

Brooke: Me neither.

Taylor: Nope.

Brooke: Just like I wasn’t expecting you trying to steal my husband away, once again. Listen, I’m done settling. Because this is my secret.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Chloe: Thanks for meeting with us, nick, and we’re really excited to pitch you some of our ideas.

Nick: Yeah. Let’s — let’s see what you got.

Chloe: Okay. So last week we really started strategizing on how to create more synergy between the newman media divisions, mostly within the entertainment sector. And we’re also wondering if we might be able to converge entertainment and news by producing some topical talk shows that check both of those boxes.

Sally: We want to go big, and our entertainment- and news-oriented divisions are doing really well nationally, so we were thinking that it might be time to focus on expanding to an international audience.

Chloe: Yeah, and that would mean creating content targeting those markets — europe, asia, and south america.

Sally: And if you like any of these general ideas, we can always come back with a more detailed plan on how to execute them.

Chloe: Yeah, we know that it’s a bold direction, but we really believe in it. So what do you think?

Chelsea: Hey.

Adam: Hi.

Chelsea: I guess you handled whatever that text message was earlier that sent you off and running without explanation.

Adam: Yeah, it actually turned out to be good news. Something that I was hoping for finally paid off.

Chelsea: Huh.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Chelsea: Well, it’s great when life takes a turn like that.

Adam: Yeah, it sure is.

Chelsea: Okay. I’m too tired to keep this up.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Same.

Chelsea: Alright, let’s just come clean. Who wants to go first?

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Jack: [ Humming ]

Traci: What has gotten into you?

Jack: What do you mean?

Traci: [ Chuckles ] You’re so happy.

Jack: Well, I’d like to think it’s not that rare or shocking that I have a smile on my face.

Traci: It’s not, but you’re smiling a lot more lately.

Jack: I didn’t know you were counting smiles.

Traci: And you are humming when you’re going through the mail.

Jack: I didn’t do that.

Traci: You did. And if I’m not mistaken, I overheard you singing with harrison.

Jack: That I will cop to. That kid can turn anyone’s mood around.

Traci: [ Chuckles ] So is it your grandson that’s got you so chipper, or is it something or someone else?

Diane: Hello, nikki.

Nikki: How are you, diane?

Diane: I’m — I’m fine. Thank you.

Nikki: Glad to hear it.

Diane: And you?

Nikki: I’m well. Keeping busy at newman enterprises. I spoke with summer recently. She says you’re doing a wonderful job at marchetti so far.

Diane: Is that right? Well, that’S…nice to hear.

[ Scoffs ] Is there a hidden pie about to smack me in the face or should I brace myself for something worse?

Talia: Phyllis.

Phyllis: Hey.

Talia: You neglected to tell me you own the place.

Phyllis: Oh, yes.

Talia: I’m impressed.

Phyllis: Hmm. I’m glad you’re enjoying your time here. Yeah, the grand phoenix, it was a labor of love, you know? Ah, there were a lot of ups and downs, but totally worth it. It’s coming to an end, I’m afraid. I just sold it.

Talia: Interesting.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Talia: You’re moving on. Why is that?

Phyllis: Well, I work at marchetti now.

Talia: Where diane jenkins works? Not a coincidence, I’m guessing. Is there an agenda there?

Phyllis: It’s pretty strategic. And completely justified. That’s why I wanted to talk to you. Want your clothes to smell freshly

provided by… breakthrough heartburn…

Nick: Well, I really like what I’ve heard. And speaking of synergy, you two obviously make a very strong team.

Sally: I couldn’t agree more.

Chloe: I’ll make it unanimous.

Nick: I’d like to hear more about your process.

Chloe: Yeah, we — we each bring our ideas to the table, and then we brainstorm, flesh them out together. But make no mistake, sally is our fearless leader.

Nick: I get it. Chloe, would you mind too much if I had a minute alone with the fearless leader?

Chloe: Oh, sure. I will make myself scarce. And if we get the go-ahead, I will start implementing these ideas right away.

Nick: Thank you, chloe.

Chloe: Thank you.

Nick: Sit down.

Sally: Is there a problem with our pitches that you didn’t want to mention in front of chloe?

Nick: No. I loved them, each and every one of them. I meant what I said. This is about you and adam.

Chelsea: So we agreed to tell each other what’s going on.

Adam: We did.

Chelsea: Go ahead.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Ladies first.

Chelsea: Oh, oldest trick in the book. The first one to spill is always put at a disadvantage.

Adam: Are we taking advantage of each other now?

Chelsea: No. I guess we’re on neutral ground. God, you are so stubborn, you know that?

Adam: So I have been told.

Chelsea: Fine. I’ll go. I just recorded my final podcast episode with billy.

Adam: Ah. So a celebration is in order now that you dropped the dead weight?

Chelsea: I’m not continuing the podcast.

Adam: You didn’t take my suggestion that you should bring in a new co-host and someone who’s not a royal jerk?

Chelsea: Billy — who’s not a jerk, by the way — suggested the same thing. He even offered to help me find a new co-host.

Adam: Well, you are obviously so talented that even billy abbott can see it and he stands to make money from it. Doesn’t mean he’s not a jerk.

Chelsea: Well, I decided against it. This isn’t about billy. It’s about me.

Adam: Okay. Sorry. So, in other words, your career is in limbo.

Chelsea: Yeah. I just don’t understand why I can’t find something that I’m able to handle. Find something that doesn’t get yanked away from me before I settle in. You know, working for a global fashion icon like angelina marchetti was probably too much for me. I dove back into the fashion world too soon, but then I found something that excited me. Something that grounded me with this podcast. And then billy, he just quits on me.

Adam: Yeah, I can — I can relate. I mean, I feel like I had the perfect future at newman dangled in front of me more times than I can count, only to be yanked away. And frankly, I’m just — I’m exhausted.

Chelsea: Mm, I know you better than that. You may be tired at the moment, but you’re not defeated. And I’ve seen this before.

Adam: Seen what?

Chelsea: The look in your eye, the iciness in your tone. That’s pure rage.

Traci: You know, if you were a character in one of my novels, my editor would be insisting that I explain your mood.

Jack: I am not a character in one of your novels. I am your brother. And my moods don’t have to be explained or scrutinized or novelized for that point.

Traci: Come on, you would make a great character — leading man, romantic hero.

Jack: Don’t even think about it.

Traci: And you’re avoiding my original question.

Jack: Oh, I know what you’re fishing for, and I’m not biting.

Traci: Alright. Can’t blame a girl for trying.

Jack: You know what? I am thrilled that kyle and summer and harrison are back in town, great, exciting new things are happening at jabot, and my family is mercifully at peace. Does that perhaps satisfy your curiosity?

Traci: [ Chuckles ] Nobody would have believed that peaceful part of this a few months ago when diane first got in touch with you.

Jack: No, that’s true. Not long ago, I thought diane was only capable of causing trouble. But you know what? Kyle is healing. I can’t even believe I’m saying that, but it’s true. And for that, I am very grateful.

Jack: Is this you in the process of forgiving diane?

Nikki: You have a fear of flying pies. That’s funny.

Diane: [ Sighs ] I’d like to get the insults and attacks over with before your food is served. Who knows what else might get hurled across the table? And I’m wearing a new outfit.

Nikki: I am so glad I ordered the beet soup.

Diane: Ha ha.

Nikki: Oh, lighten up. I’m kidding.

Diane: [ Sighs ] So where is this seemingly laissez faire attitude coming from?

Nikki: I’ve just decided that it’s easier to ignore you than to engage. Although it is harder when you come up to my table.

Diane: Let’s be honest. If I hadn’t walked over here, you would have confronted me.

Nikki: Ah, wrong, as usual. You’re just not worth my energy. I have a very full life to live.

Diane: Oh, and I’m sure the constant upheaval at newman enterprises is keeping you very busy. At this point, are there any members of your family that haven’t been ceo?

Nikki: Well, that is so sweet of you to be concerned. But the company is thriving, so you need only be concerned about your workplace.

Diane: Oh. Oh, marchetti is doing great. Thanks in large part to my son’s leadership.

Nikki: Uh-huh. Well, I think my granddaughter had a little something to do with that as well.

Diane: Absolutely. Summer is a wonderful leader, and she’s been so good to me. I really appreciate that she’s kept an open mind and hasn’t just accepted all the things that you and phyllis have told her about me.

Nikki: Well, poor summer really shouldn’t have to deal with you at all, but I’m confident that you will self-sabotage and leave genoa city in disgrace without any help from me at all. Now, I will admit that in the beginning I felt the need to rush that process along. But you know what? It’s really not worth my time, because I know that you are capable of blowing up your life all on your own.

Diane: Wow. This new and enlightened version of you is almost cuddly. I’m curious, though. Phyllis seems to have made a turn as well, selling her beloved hotel to work at the same company as I do. Come on, nikki. You and phyllis might talk a good game about letting go, but something’s clearly afoot. Hi, I’m denise.

Talia: So does nikki know about your plan?

Phyllis: Oh, yeah. She’s in on it, for sure. You know, we’re keeping it on the down low. You have to be crafty when you deal with diane. You have to think on your feet. So that’s why I think in your case, you should just keep it to your cover story, you know, your piece on ashland locke.

Talia: So what exactly is going down with diane?

Phyllis: Well, what’s going to go down with diane is she’s going to get into trouble at her job. But it won’t be because of anything that I did. I mean, talia, she’s in way over her head. She’s going to run into trouble. She’s going to screw up and she’s going to get fired.

Diane: So what do you and phyllis have up your sleeve?

Nikki: Diane, you deluded narcissist, not everything is about you, dear. Did it ever cross your mind that phyllis simply wants to work with her daughter? Just as I love working with nicholas and victoria, and I assume you love working with kyle?

Diane: Mm-hmm, I could believe that, had I not witnessed how much phyllis loved owning that hotel.

Nikki: Mm. Well, she’s never really been very successful hanging on to anything. Careers, men.

Diane: Oh, insulting her. Very clever strategy.

Nikki: I’m sorry?

Diane: You’re hoping that if you say mean and nasty things about phyllis, it’ll convince me that you’re not working together.

Nikki: I am simply explaining to you why she wanted to work at marchetti, so you can forget about your conspiracy theory.

Diane: If there was truly nothing going on, you wouldn’t care what I thought.

Nikki: You know what, diane? I think all those years living in hiding have made you paranoid.

Diane: Now you’re deflecting, trying to get me on the defensive.

Nikki: I am merely expressing concern for your well-being.

Diane: Oh, come on. You being polite and considerate is the biggest red flag of all.

Nikki: Being civil is just easier. It’s less exhausting because everybody has grown bored with your drama and we’ve moved on.

Diane: My drama? You and phyllis are the drama queens of genoa city.

Nikki: Now, dear, unless you are planning a better exit than your murder turned out to be, you’re just going to have to accept the fact that the novelty of your very dramatic return has just worn off. You’re not the center of attention anymore. Nobody is really thinking about you at all. Although I almost wish I could be there when you finally realize that, because, really, how sad and pathetic will that be.

Jack: I’m not sure forgiveness is the right word. I’m — I’m not sure what is.

Traci: Well, what would forgiveness look like for you and diane?

Jack: Uh…

Allie: Hey, you guys.

Jack: Hey!

Noah: How’s it going?

Allie: Oh, my gosh. I am so glad you guys are both here. We have some great news.

Sally: What would you like to know?

Nick: Victoria told me about adam’s attempt to get you to publish evidence that he just happened upon regarding ashland’s death.

Sally: I know the truth about what went down that night. And I understand why you were so sick over it.

Nick: It was our goal to keep the circle of people who knew about it very small. But now, thanks to adam, you are burdened with that secret.

Sally: You don’t have to worry about me. When I want to keep my mouth shut, I am an impenetrable fortress. Not only am I not going to publish the story, I will never tell anyone about it, ever.

Nick: You’ve proven that you can be trusted.

Sally: Well, I’m sorry for how difficult things must have been. And still might be.

Nick: I just — you know, I did what I did because I was protecting my sister.

Sally: And I’m sure victoria is very grateful for what you did. Frankly, the town is breathing a heck of a lot easier without ashland around. And honestly, if your father hadn’t gotten involved and everyone found out, they would probably give you the key to the city or something.

Nick: No. I don’t know about that.

Sally: Well, in my experience, truly brave people are usually modest. I will say one thing about the newmans. You guys can be intimidating, but you really go to the mat for each other. Spending more time around your family, I understand less about adam’s attitude towards you all.

Nick: Sally, I just hope you know how genuinely appreciative I am that you turned adam down and that you went to victoria and gave her a heads up.

Sally: Well, there was never any risk of adam getting me to do his bidding. And as far as going to see victoria, you should all just be on guard about adam’s state of mind. He’s in pursuit of one thing — revenge.

Adam: You know more than anybody that rage is my — my baseline emotion. I’m — I’m like a 2 right now. So it can get a lot worse.

Chelsea: That’s what I’m afraid of. You talking about me going down a rabbit hole, but what about you? I see you walking around all calm, but I know something is burning under the surface.

Adam: [ Chuckles ]

Chelsea: You’re feeling wounded these days. Makes you want to lash out. You want to hurt the people that have hurt you. That side of you is back with a vengeance. I know how dangerous that can get. You gave me some good advice earlier, so let me ask you… is there any way I can talk you off the ledge? I brought in ensure max protein

Allie: As I may have mentioned, noah is looking for a space for the amazing club that he wants to open.

Jack: Uh-huh.

Allie: And guess what.

Traci: He found a good location.

Allie: Not just a good one. The best.

Adam: Yep, the glam club will officially be opening its doors at the grand phoenix as soon as the chancellor-winters acquisition of the hotel is finalized.

Jack: Phyllis actually went through with the sale. Even with her job at marchetti, I wasn’t sure she could bear to let go of it.

Allie: Noah pitched the idea to lily, and she loved it.

Noah: Oh, no hesitation. She was on board from the get-go.

Allie: It was like the perfect fit.

Jack: This sounds like a celebration. How about lunch at society?

Noah: Yeah, sounds good.

Jack: We’re in.

Adam: Thanks for trying to look out for me, but you can’t help me now. This is between me and my dad, okay? I let him use me yet again and toss me aside.

Chelsea: Pushing you out of the company in favor of victoria is wrong, but sadly predictable. It’s a signature victor move.

Adam: Mm. No, you don’t know the half of what dear old dad has done this time, okay? He pulled another one of his classic maneuvers, and once again, just dredging up a lot of damage from the past.

Chelsea: What do you mean?

Adam: Ashland locke didn’t die in that car crash.

Chelsea: What? I thought the investigation was closed.

Adam: Well, it was, but that’s because dad made sure of it.

Chelsea: So, how did ashland die?

Adam: Apparently, ashland turned up at victoria’s in some sort of a rage, and to protect our sister, nick accidentally killed him.

Chelsea: Oh, my god. No wonder victoria was so tense when I saw her the other day.

Adam: Yeah, it was a bad situation all around. But what does dad do? He covers it up, moves the body so he can keep the newman hands clean.

Chelsea: Did victor tell you all this?

Adam: Well, never mind how i found out about it. The point is, he covered it up. Chelsea.

Chelsea: Wow. I see so many parallels between ashland’s death and A.J. Montalvo’s back in kansas.

Adam: Yeah, if he got away with it once, why not try it again?

Chelsea: I mean, I’m sure this brings up a lot for you, but I — I thought you found peace with it.

Adam: How do you make peace with finding out that you’re a child killer and nobody told you? I mean, you could pretend, stuff it down, but it never goes away. I mean, the fact that they kept this from me for all these years — it just — it did me a lot more harm than good.

Chelsea: I think he was trying to protect you from getting hurt. I think he wanted to help you because you’re his son, the same way you would go to extremes to protect connor and maybe even me, even though we’re not together anymore.

Nick: I appreciate the warning, but this isn’t the first time adam’s tried to get revenge on our family. I was really hoping that after he gave faith one of his kidneys that he would turn a corner. But obviously I was wrong about that. You know, I would like to give my brother the benefit of the doubt, but he’s made his position crystal-clear.

Sally: I find that really sad.

Nick: It is reality. I’m sure you only got to see the good side of adam when you guys were together, you know, but my family has had to deal with the best and worst of adam. And I don’t like saying this to you, sally, ’cause I know you care about him but I think — I think you’re better off not being in a relationship with him. And now please welcome ana montoya.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Talia: Can I ask, why are you rooting for diane jenkins to fail?

Phyllis: I know you did your research, and I know you read that article in restless style from years ago detailing all these things she did. I mean, it’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Talia: Really? Because the things in that story were out there — home-wrecking, arson, sperm stealing?

Phyllis: Sperm stealing. Yes. Completely out there. I mean, if I told you everything else, your head would start spinning and it wouldn’t stop spinning.

Talia: I want to know everything.

Phyllis: Alright. Have a seat. Get comfortable. I’ll tell you everything. And honestly, I’m not holding back. Where do you want to start? Multiple blackmails? Child abandonment? Faking her own death?

Nikki: I certainly hope you didn’t mistake my earlier civility as an invitation to join me.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] Certainly not.

Jack: Ohh, that cannot be good.

Traci: Well, you know, why don’t we just leave them alone, okay? Maybe we — [ Sighs ] Maybe not.

Jack: Hi.

Nikki: Hello, jack.

Diane: Hi. Traci.

Traci: Hello, ladies.

Jack: Are we interrupting some kind of tte–tte?

Nikki: Oh, no, not at all. I’m just finishing my lunch at my table for one. Diane is just leaving.

Diane: Waiting for takeout.

Jack: Everything alright?

Nikki: Really, jack?

Diane: [ Laughs ]

Sally: As many times as i have told myself things are over with adam and knowing it’s for the best, part of me still has feelings for him. And maybe, yeah, it’s because i mainly did see the good parts of him, and the bad parts… honestly, I could relate to because, in a certain way, I’ve lived in adam’s shoes. I have felt burned and insulted by people and was so determined to make them regret it. I mean, sure, yes, that wasn’t the only way adam and I were alike, but it definitely sparked a connection.

Nick: I’m aware of some of the stunts you’ve pulled in the past. I’d like to believe you’ve left all that behind.

Sally: I would, too. But I won’t lie. I definitely get the urge from time to time to deliver a swift dose of payback to those who wronged me, not wait for karma to kick them in the ass. But that’s natural, right?

[ Both laugh ]

Nick: Yeah, I think, uh — I think we’ve all been there, you know, some of us more than others.

Sally: Well, my point is, i haven’t acted on any of those darker impulses. And maybe the turning of the tides was people actually having faith in me — or at least willing to give me a fair chance…the way you have. It really made a difference for me.

Nick: Yeah. I’d like to believe that a little faith could create a change in adam. You know, I’d like to have a brother that I could have a bond with or trust. But unfortunately, adam has proven over and over again that his turnarounds just don’t last very long.

Adam: You’re right. I would move heaven and earth for connor. I would break any law. Hell, I would move a dozen bodies if I thought that it would genuinely help him. And I would probably move a couple corpses for connor’s mother, as well.

Chelsea: Well, hopefully it doesn’t come to that, but i appreciate it.

Adam: But that doesn’t mean that you can pick and choose the things that victor does which are bad and good because even when he does something decent, it comes at a price always.

Chelsea: Oh, as someone who went to the mental hospital instead of jail because of him, I am very well aware of how he operates.

Adam: Yes. You understand. But he’ll never admit it. The man will never apologize. And I think it’s time someone forced his hand right here, right now. And I happen to have the power and the evidence to do it. (Buzz)

starting with the delicious

taste of honey nut cheerios,

Allie: Was I gushing too much with jack and traci earlier?

Noah: No, it was the perfect amount of gush.

Allie: Uh-oh.

Noah: Okay, that looks like it could turn into a knockdown, drag-out fight any second now.

Allie: Yep. With my grandfather trapped in the middle.

Noah: If things get gnarly, my money’s on grandma. That lady’s tough as nails.

Allie: Yeah, but diane’s sneaky. And I wouldn’t count traci out. That woman’s been through some things. Hey, promise me this. No matter how hostile it gets inside there, it is not gonna spoil this amazing day for the two of us.

Noah: It won’T.

Nikki: I was minding my own business, and then diane appeared uninvited. Yet I couldn’t have been more civil. Isn’t that right, diane?

Diane: That’s true. Nikki has been pleasantly, shockingly, bizarrely even-keeled.

Nikki: So, yes, jack, everything is fine. See you. Hi!

Noah: Hey, grandma. You heading out?

Nikki: Uh, yeah. It’s getting a little crowded in here.

Noah: Okay, well, we’ll have to catch up some other time, but before you go, I want to introduce you to allie.

Nikki: Oh, it’s a pleasure. I’ve heard so much about you from noah.

Allie: Same here. It’s so lovely meeting you.

Nikki: Well, I hope that we can spend some time together soon.

Allie: I would love that.

Nikki: You two have fun.

Noah: Okay. I’ll check in with you later.

Nikki: Alright, sweetie.

Noah: Night.

Jack: I suppose I did jump to the conclusion that nikki was harassing you.

Diane: Not a bad guess.

Allie: Hi, everyone. Thank you again for offering to take us out to celebrate.

Jack: You are most welcome.

Allie: Should we get a table?

Nikki: You know what? Let’s — let’s do that.

Diane: What’s the occasion?

Allie: We’re celebrating my boyfriend’s new club.

Diane: Oh! Wow. That’s wonderful.

Jack: Would you like to join us?

Diane: Well, normally I would love to, but I have a job that I’m devoted to, and I need to get back to work. Ah, looks like my take-out is ready. Noah, congratulations. I can’t wait to check out the club once it opens. Bye.

Jack: Bye.

Traci: [ Sighs ]

[ Clears throat ]

Jack: What?

Traci: I think our table’s ready.

Sally: Of course I understand you have a longer history with adam than I do. I’m not pleading his case here. I just… I’m worried about him. That’s why I couldn’t keep quiet about it.

Adam: Well, vick and I are grateful for that.

Sally: Telling her was in everyone’s best interest, including adam’S. I wish someone had told me when I was hell-bent on revenge ’cause that is a road I never want to go down again.

Nick: Well, I think you’ve come a long way.

Sally: It’s a daily journey, right?

Chelsea: I get your drive and your frustration. I’ve been there, as you know. You want justice, and you’ll go to dark places to get it.

Adam: But that — that’s the thing, chelsea. This isn’t dark. All I’m trying to do is expose the truth to light.

Chelsea: We both know there’s a lot more to it. If you try to hurt victor, he’s gonna go after you. He’s like you in that regard. Reigniting this battle will be a mistake for you and for connor.

Adam: Okay, I can and I will keep connor completely out of it.

Chelsea: We both know that’s not possible. Connor loves his father and his grandfather. He’ll be stuck in the middle. There’s no way he can be immune to the fallout. You don’t want to traumatize your kid, do not start a war with his grandfather.

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Chelsea: You want to beat victor, beat him by being a better dad. Focus on the future. Focus on connor. Stop keeping score and stop holding grudges. Beat victor by letting go.

Talia: I can’t believe one person could do so much in one lifetime.

Phyllis: I know. Can you believe it? I mean, diane’s a real overachiever in that sense. I mean — but I — I just think that if someone were to, um, try to get the world reacquainted with her past deeds, that might unnerve diane and she’ll go back to the person she was — I mean, the person that she’s always been, of course. I mean, she’ll just snap. And then certain people — it will prove to them that she has not changed at all.

Talia: I’m open to exploring diane’s life. I just don’t want to report on a story that’s already been out there.

Phyllis: Oh, no, wait. I totally understand that. I mean, I certainly believe that there’s something to uncover in her time in los angeles, for sure. So, I think that, um, if I were to give you some juicy details that weren’t in the

restless style story and you were to put those out in the world while you’re investigating her activity in los angeles, that could really be the story of the century — the downfall of diane jenkins.

Jack: Boy, the kids sure left right after we ate. Was it us?

Traci: Boy, I hope not. I mean, I certainly enjoy your company, that’s for sure.

Jack: And I definitely enjoy yours. But you know what? I remember what it was to be their age, young and in —

Traci: Lust. Mm-hmm.

Jack: It is my granddaughter we are talking about.

Traci: [ Laughs ] But, jack, you’re making it sound like you and I are all washed up here. I mean, I think it’s a little premature to put us out to pasture. I predict that one of these days, very soon, for us both, there will be nothing we’ll want more than to spend time alone with a special someone in our lives.

Jack: Please tell me we are not circling back to that subject.

Traci: What subject?

Jack: Diane.

Traci: [ Sighs ]

Jack: She is not a special someone in my life.

Traci: I understand that. And, believe me, I am not pushing the two of you together. I’m just making an observation that for somebody that you are not ready to forgive, you certainly want to spend a lot of time together.

Noah: I still can’t believe the club’s gonna become a reality.

Allie: It is. Oh, my gosh. Stop doubting yourself. Hey. I believe in you.

Noah: I got to share the credit with you.

Allie: No, you don’T. This was all your idea.

Noah: Babe, lily saw the enthusiasm in your eyes, okay? It was contagious. Gave me fresh inspiration during my pitch. It helped me envision what the place could actually be. That was all because of you.

Allie: Well, I am not gonna take any credit for it. But I did love getting to be a part of it. Noah, this is — this is so incredible.

Noah: You’re incredible. Hey. Are you sure?

Allie: Yeah. I’m sure.

Adam: Well, god knows you’re not the first person to tell me I need to break the cycle with victor.

Chelsea: Well, maybe it’s about time you start to listen?

Adam: [ Sighs ] At least jack gave me a job offer.

Chelsea: You’re kidding?

Adam: Mm-hmm. I thought he was kidding at first, but he was serious.

Chelsea: Oh, adam, congratulations. I think working at jabot would be an awesome fit for you.

Adam: I turned it down.

Chelsea: What? Why? Jack respects you and cares about you, and it’s about time you separated from the newmans, you know, started fresh.

Adam: Well, how often do you and I make the right moves for ourselves?

Chelsea: Mm, that’s a good point, very valid point. Listen, I was starting fresh. It felt good for a little while, then boom, bam — bye-bye, podcast.

[ Chuckles, groans ]

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Ah.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

Adam: We certainly are a pair, aren’t we?

Chelsea: We are on a killer winning streak, yeah.

Adam: Mm-hmm. You know, they call people like us “coolers” at the blackjack table.

Chelsea: Oh. Because we’re so cool?

Adam: Super cool.

Chelsea: We have been through a lot together. The fact that we don’t hate each other after all of it belongs in a history book somewhere.

Adam: I am really glad that we’ve gotten to a place where we can support each other emotionally.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

well, you have great timing, michael. I just finished reading wiley his bedtime story. He is loving his sleepover at the main house. Yeah, his, uh — his nanny’s about to tuck him into bed now. Well, uh, you and willow enjoy kicking back, and we’re all good on our end. You know, this may not be my house, but I know for a fact that you’re not welcome here. Look, josslyn, I’m not here for a social visit. I am only here — and this is uncomfortable for me — but I have a carload of desserts for olivia that mistakenly was delivered to the metro court. I am just trying to correct a mistake. That’s all. Whatever. You know, I was just on the phone with michael, and I could’ve told him that you were here trespassing, but he and willow rarely get a night to themselves, and I am more than capable of throwing you out myself. You will not go anywhere near wiley. Like I said, I just brought desserts for olivia. I wasn’t planning on seeing my grandson. Let’s make sure. Get out. Sonny: What’s the problem here? The problem? Well, yeah. I’m looking at it. Well, o-olivia knows nina’s here and why. Okay, well, how long does it take to drop off dessert? Because I highly doubt that olivia invited her to stay. You know what, josslyn? You don’t have to like it, but I think your mom taught you how to be civil towards people. Oh, my mom also taught me how to deal with a backstabbing bitch. Now, sonny, you tried to help trina, and that’s the only reason why I’m not slapping your girlfriend into next week. Well, that was fun. I think I’ll go. Hell, no. I’m not gonna tell you what to do. It’s your call whether or not you want to tell cody that you were once romantically involved with his mother. But you and dominique as a couple? I mean, that was pretty common knowledge back in the day. Somebody is bound to point that out to cody eventually. One thing at a time, okay?

[ Horse whinnies in distance ] I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that dominique had a son that she gave up. I mean, that’s not at all like the woman we both knew.

[ Grunts ] What the hell is wrong with you? That was a damn good kiss. Oh. Hey, did, uh — did elizabeth come through here? Have you seen her? I’ve not, but I’m looking for anna. Have you seen her?

[ Spencer groaning ] Spencer? Oh, whoa, whoa. Take it easy. Leave me the hell alone. You don’t look so good, kid. Could probably use a glass of water and a comfortable chair. Why don’t we get you inside, maybe someone will go find your dad? Forget it. I never want to see my father again. Elizabeth? Hey, elizabeth.

[ Gasps ] Nikolas.

[ Sighs ] What happened?

[ Ava groaning ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Breathing shakily ] H-he– h– help… he– help me. -Hi, dr. Rick. It’s julie. -[ Gasps ] That’s me.Just leaving you a voicemail. My number is 618-437-7425. Okay. Can anyone tell me what julie did wrong there? You got to repeat the number. I mean, no one’s ever gonna get it the first time. -Nope. -Didn’t leave her last name. No, the — the phone tells you who called. She didn’t mention a good time to call her back. How am I supposed to know when to call her back? No. She just shouldn’t have left a voicemail. 9 out of 10 times, a text will do.

Dominique was a bright light. I mean, she was a loving, generous person who would’ve cherished having a son. If we go with the obvious, that she gave him away to protect him from taub, once leopold died, why not reclaim cody and raise him herself? Well… what if dominique didn’t realize she had a son? I didn’t slap you based on the quality of the kiss. I slapped you because of why you kissed me. Okay, so you’re saying it was a good kiss, though? I’m saying you only kissed me to distract me. Distract you? From — from what? Your — your interrogation on peter and faison. I mean, come on! Just be honest, cody! God! Why are you so fascinated by my father and brother? Besides you,

nobody wants me here. Nobody. So, what, we can’t make mistakes now and — and move on with our lives? ‘Cause let me t– let me tell you something. No, I’m serious about this. The way that — that josslyn and michael treat you, it’s unfair, it’s rude, and… it’s actually sad. And I’m gonna — I’m gonna — look, there’s a lot of people that are gonna be, you know, happy to see you, you know, and I’m right on top of that list. I know. I know you will always be on my side and you’re gonna face down all the haters, but I really don’t want yet another confrontation. That’s not what I want. I’d rather go home. Can you just stay just a little while? No. Why? Well, be– no. I’m gonna tell you why. Because I got dex. He’s — he’s bringing me some paperwork. Once I sign it off, we can go to my place and, you know, have a nightcap.

[ Gasps ]

[ Laughs ] Okay, well, now that’s an offer I can’t refuse.

[ Footsteps approaching ] Oh, sorry. Oh, no. I didn’t mean to interrupt. I just was getting… actually, i am interrupting. So why am I…? I-I wanted to talk to you if you — and since we’re here at the same time, do you have a moment I could speak? Okay, spencer, here’s some water. You’re clearly dehydrated. I do not need a damn thing from you. All the trouble between me and my father started when you came sniffing for an inheritance that never belonged to you. And, hey, that’s when my father, he made the horrible decision to play dead so that he could get his revenge. Now, that’s something that he’s gonna have to live with, but all the drama… started with you. Anything I’ve done to hurt you, I want you to know I’m sorry. God, I hate that guy. Not a big fan myself. I wish I could blame valentin for everything. But he didn’t force my father to lie or to play dead or marry ava or… or what? Did something happen? Did your dad do something to upset you?

[ Chuckles ] It really doesn’t matter. Yeah, why’s that? Because the man that I grew up with, the father that I hero-worshipped… either he changed or he was never real in the first place. There, that’s better. Whoa. Looks like you hit your head. How did that happen? I don’t know. Well, what’s the last thing that you remember? I was at the stables with finn, and we had an — an argument, and now I’m here. You know, we’re not — we’re not that close to the stables. You — you really don’t remember walking here or how you got that scrape on your forehead? No. No, I-I-I do remember being really angry and feeling betrayed.

[ Sighs ] Ah. Why? W-what were you guys arguing about? It’S… finn went behind my back again. He called sarah. Sarah, your sister? I mean, who hasn’t been here in town for, what, 10 years? Why — why would finn call her?

[ Sighs ] Because [Scoffs] He thinks I’m losing my mind. He-help me! Help! Oh, my god. Oh, my god, ava.

[ Groans ] Ava. Okay, I-I’m gonna get you some help, alright? Alright? My phone… ava, listen to me. Did you have your phone on you? Were you carrying it? Did you drop it? Alright, I’m gonna get you some help. The picnic is for G.H. There’s nurses and there’s doctors there, alright? I’m gonna get you — I’m gonna get someone.

[ Groans ] Don’t — don’t leave me.

So, you want to talk to me? As in wsb business? Yeah. ‘Cause if, you know — if that’s the case, then I have to get diane to — no, no, you don’t need diane. This is — this is more, like, official-adjacent in a way. Okay.Well, this sounds important. I will get some fresh air. It’s such a lovely night. Thank you, nina. Alright, so you got my attention. What’s up? I’m aware that, in addition to your business enterprises, that you do keep a close watch on all the illegal activities here in port charles. I can neither confirm or deny that statement. Alright, let me just cut to the chase. Do you have any information about what victor cassadine is doing here? Valentin: “She walks in beauty like the night. Of cloudless climes and starry skies and all that’s best of dark and bright meet in her aspect and her eyes.” “Thus mellowed to that tender light.” Most people think it’s shakespeare, but it’s really — lord byron. Mad, bad, and dangerous to know. How could dominique give birth to a son and not be aware of it? Think back. Dominique stayed at shadybrook for a time, remember? Leopold had her committed. He wanted control of dominique and her fortune. That’s what everyone assumed, but what if there were other reasons? What if dominique was pregnant and leopold took the baby? I asked you about your family. So what? That’s what you do when you’re trying to get to know new people in your life. I keep telling you, I don’t want to talk about peter or my father. Why can’t you just accept it and move on? Well, I think the better question is, why are you being so defensive? It’s not like I asked if you had a criminal past, too. Why is it easier for you to accuse me of being manipulative than to just admit that you are attracted to me? Why is that so hard to say? What is so god awful about us being into each other? Oh, excuse me? Who says I’m into you? What, to be bitterly disappointed in your father’s life choices? Mm-hmm. Welcome to the club. And, look, I realize you’re not in a good place to get any sort of advice, but I’m gonna throw it out there anyway because maybe somewhere down the line, it’ll mean something to you. Yeah, I bet. It couldn’t be worse than the garbage my father’s been spewing at me. Yeah, that’s just the thing, kid. You know, if we’re lucky, we grow up thinking that our parents are superhuman, right? They have all the right answers, and they can fix all the problems. Mm-hmm. Except in my case, my father is the problem. Right. And then, at some point, we realize they’re not superhuman, right? They’re just people trying to do the best they can, which means they occasionally screw up. Human beings, they — they come with flaws, even parents, but that doesn’t mean they love us any less. Well, if that’s how things shook out for you and your dad, good for you, but [Clears throat] It doesn’t seem like, uh, that’s how things are working out for me and my father. Spencer. Uh, dr. Finn. Oh, dear. It seems my great nephew is a little worse for wear.

[ Chuckles ] Don’t worry. I’ll take care of him. Oh, no, we’re just making a little headway on our — our talk here. No, that’s fine. Please, I-I won’t hear of it. You — you go ahead. Let family deal with family, huh? It’s your call. I’ll be fine with my great uncle victor. Fair enough. Feel better.

[ Sighs ] Do not ask me to tell you why I’m upset. Don’t worry, spencer. You don’t have to tell me. I already know. Finn thinks you’re losing your mind? Trust me, I wouldn’t have checked myself out of shadybrook if I didn’t feel ready to face the world. Finn doesn’t agree? He keeps going back and forth. He’s trying to be supportive, but… I know he’s watching me. I know he’s doubting me. And, yes, I-I know that makes me sound paranoid. No, no, it doesn’t — it doesn’t make you sound paranoid. Now, if — if finn is reaching out to sarah, why would he — why would he do that if he wasn’t checking in on you? Yeah, e-exactly. He’s fixated on this nonexistent relationship I have with my parents. He keeps fishing around like I’m hiding some dire secret. About who? Someone in your family? Woman: Elizabeth, what are you doing? Elizabeth: Stay away from my father!

[ Sighs ] Nikolas? What are we…? No. Oh, god. It happened again. I’m losing time. We just need to stop the bleeding, alright? So I need a towel or something. There. There. Please — please don’t leave me. Ava, I’m not leaving you, but we have to stop the bleeding, okay? Okay, okay. Ava. Ava, wake up. Wake up. I need you to hold this for me while I go get help. Ava? Ava, wake up! If you don’t, you’re gonna die! Help! Somebody! Oh, god, ava. I can’t leave you. You’re gonna bleed out. But I need to go get help. Ava. Okay. Ava. Ava. Joss? Is that you? Hey, hey, give me your phone. Call 911 right now. Right now. She’s bleeding a lot. You call. I’ll hold the towel.

and no one was allowed to visit her. She finally signed herself out after taub was killed. Do you remember what kind of mood she was in when she got out? She was eager to get on with her life. That was a long time ago, but I remember she was happy and upbeat. There wasn’t a hint of sadness. There’s no way anyone could have suspected that she was hiding her child. What if there were no hints because she didn’t know she had a baby? Leopold taub was a total bastard. I mean, he’d have no problem taking dominique’s child away from her, except… except what? Why would leopold taub want to hide his own child? You expect me to believe that you didn’t like that kiss? That you don’t find me attractive? Is that your story? All the verbal sparring that we do, the moments that we connect? Did I just, what, misinterpret all the signs or — or…what? Okay. You know what? I’m — I’m sorry. My bad. I won’t bother you anymore. You know the way back to the main house.

[ Groans ] Okay, fine. You didn’t make it up. What’s that? Sorry, what? You were right. Okay? I am attracted to you, and — and sometimes I even actually like you. So then what’s the problem? Nothing is more terrifying than liking someone. You lost your train of thought. It happens to everyone. I mean, especially when you’re stressed out. No, no, you don’t understand. It’s more than that. I keep having a memory that doesn’t make sense to me, and I had a-a vertigo attack in the stairwell at the hospital. And I — have you seen a neurologist?

[ Sighs ] Finn suggested the same thing, and he wants me to see a psychiatrist. They don’t sound like bad ideas. I just think if he were to stop pressuring me, all of this would go away. But instead he keeps going behind my back, first with terry and now with my sister. How am I supposed to react to that? How am I supposed to have a meaningful relationship with someone I can’t trust? You can’T. Mm. Mm-mm. Now, that is more like it. I’m gonna need something a little bit stronger than water. Spencer, it’s more than obvious that you’ve had more than you need already. You know, getting sloppy drunk isn’t just undignified. It can lead to errors in judgment, which can prove costly. If you want to lecture on “errors in judgment,” I’m afraid that you are talking to the wrong cassadine. Oh, dear, I thought so. You thought what? Ah. Well, just a friendly reminder, the festivities are taking place out on the grounds. Oh, I’m so sorry. M-my nephew and i just needed a short break from all the merrymaking. I-I hope you don’t mind.Yes. Well, I will take care of a couple of things. Turns out hosting this party is a much bigger ordeal than I could’ve imagined. Well, mrs. Quartermaine seemed out of sorts. Wonder why. Well, hello, old friend. Hello to you.

[ Chuckles ] Can I just say that this is about the last place I’d ever expect to find you? Well, I could say the same thing about you. Last I heard, you were the quartermaines’ public enemy number one. Well, not all of them. Ned is an ally, and michael’s an enemy. Drew — well, that’s yet to be determined. So I suppose that’s a long-winded way of saying I’m tolerated. Lucky you. A few minutes ago, josslyn tried to throw me out. Oh, no. I’m so sorry to hear that. It’s no fun being the target of the ire of a youth, especially when they feel they’re on the side of righteousness. Ah, that’s right. As I recall, you were in a similar situation with spencer. He thought that you stole his home and inheritance. And josslyn thinks that I stole carly’s husband and half her hotel. Well, I assume you have no regrets about sonny. How do you feel about obtaining half the metro court? So, victor has intimated on more than one occasion that he has a larger agenda. So if he is, for example, transporting something illegal, he would have to use the waterfront, in which case you would most likely hear about it, right? Anna, if I had any information on victor cassadine, I’d give it to you. As far as I know, uh, his recent crimes basically have been to bust spencer out of spring ridge so he could visit his mother’s grave. Did spencer tell you that victor got him out of prison? We are not at the main house at the quartermaines’. We’re at the boathouse by the lake. Yes, it’s a woman. She’s been stabbed in the abdomen very badly. Tell them her pulse is weak and her breathing is shallow. We have to move her — now. Now? Are you kidding me? We’ll kill her. If we don’t get her to a hospital in the next 20 minutes, she’ll already be dead.

I need you to keep pressure on the wound. Okay. What are you getting? We need to create a-a pressure bandage. I’m gonna use pieces of this. Okay. How do you know all this stuff? Did you go to medical school or something? No. I was a soldier. I did a tour in afghanistan, and that’s how I know we don’t have time to wait for an ambulance. If ava loses too much blood, it’s like an engine running without oil. Her body will start to shut down. Okay. Alright? Here. I’m gonna lift ava up. You tie this around her, okay? Make it tight. Okay. Okay. Just hold her for me. If it gets past a certain point, her organs will be damaged. They’ll never recover, okay? Might take a couple days, but she’ll die. That’s what will happen. Okay. Okay. Okay, I got it. Good job. Good job. It’s around. Okay. Now what? You keep pressure on the wound. Okay. My suv is nearby. I parked it in the back. We’re gonna carry ava to my car. You’re gonna ride in the back and keep pressure on the wound. I’ll drive. Okay, but won’t all this movement hurt her more? We do this or she dies. Okay, let’s go. Are we talking about you and ava now? Yeah. The whole time I was with her, I just… kept trying to overcome our trust issues and get to a place where we could believe in each other. That process… just proved impossible, you know, and I — and I had my part in it, and I take full responsibility for my failures.

[ Sighs ] But in the end… …the most hurtful betrayal, no, that was all ava. What did she do? Particulars don’t matter. No, she just — she lashed out. She didn’t care what she destroyed in the process. She was vindictive…

[ Sighs ] …To the very end. Wait, a-are you — are you saying you guys are over?

[ Sighs ] We’re definitely over. Finn: Hi. Oh. Been looking for you. What happened here? What happened to your head? It’s not a big deal. It’s just a scrape. Elizabeth’s fine. Can I… can I speak to you alone for a moment? Now’s not a really good time for that. Sorry, again, you thought what? Well, spencer, it’s pretty obvious from all the hints you’ve been dropping that you already know your father had sex with esme.

[ Laughing ] I cannot — I cannot believe that he told you that. Well, nikolas and i may have our differences, but, first and foremost, we’re both cassadines. We — we stick together. Well, count me out. I want nothing to do with my father. When I heard ava say that he slept with esme — wait. Wait a minute. Ava told you? Well, that is indiscreet of her. So how do you feel about owning a hotel? I mean, that particular hotel? You’re not having buyer’s remorse? Eh, well, a little bit. Sonny warned me that there would be pushback, and there is, that people just assume that I bought her half of the hotel out of spite. And sonny? Does sonny assume that? Please tell me that you have proof. I tried my best to get spencer to give up victor… mm-hmm. …But he refused. And I had mixed feelings about that because, on the one hand, I want to break victor’s hold on spencer. Yeah. Uh, and if he gets arrested, then that’s just a bonus. On the other hand, I-I admire spencer that he didn’t take the easy way out. I’ve always emphasized to this boy that loyalty is so important and always, you know, taking responsibility for his actions. And I got to tell you, it’s nice to see that he’s finally doing that. Loyalty, huh? That’s cool. You know, in this instance, given the family that he comes from, when it comes to loyalty, I’d say that spence is pretty lucky to have you as a role model. Taub was obsessed with money and power. He wanted dominique so he could control the stanton fortune. But if dominique got pregnant with his child, he would have an even stronger hold on that fortune. So why keep the kid a secret? Mac, I just got a call from the pcpd. Someone’s been attacked on the property. Oh.

Olivia, take a deep breath. Someone was attacked at the main house? Okay, no, no, no. Somewhere on the property. It was a stabbing, and whoever found them decided to take the victim right to G.H., Okay? T-the police are on their way here right now. Did the cops tell you the victim’s name? No, only that it took place on the property, but, mac, this property is enormous, and god knows how many people were here for this party. Oh, god. Yeah, this is mac scorpio. I’m at the quartermaine estate. I need information about the attack that was just reported. I don’t understand what’s so scary about liking someone.

[ Sighs ] Last year, I finally met someone that I could be completely honest with, who I could share my deepest, darkest secrets, and he didn’t judge me. Sounds like a cool dude. Where is he? Yeah, that’s the thing, cody. The universe finally gave me someone I felt safe to be honest with, and then the universe decided to kill him. Britt, I’m so sorry. Yeah, me, too.

[ Sighs ] And when you kissed me,

that’s why I slapped you. Isn’t because the kiss was bad or inappropriate. It made me feel something. And if I’ve learned anything about this life, it’s when I feel something good, it only leads to pain, and that’s terrifying. Well, you know, maybe it was just a one-time thing, you know, like, heat of the moment. Maybe if we kissed again, nothing would happen, you wouldn’t feel anything, and then you’d have nothing to be afraid of. Okay, there’s zero logic in that statement. Yeah, I mean, it’s still just a theory, but… there’s only one way to test it out. Well, I’m taking off. I’ll see you later, uncle victor. If you think you’re going off in search of another beer keg or a bar setup, you are sadly mistaken. You do not have to worry about me getting so drunk that I tell someone that you’re the one who arranged for my little day pass from spring ridge. No, actually, that’s not my concern. I’m worried you might tell someone about your father’s affair with esme. Unless you already have. If I told anyone that my father slept with my girlfriend, that’s a really bad look for me. I’m not that drunk. Can you be sure about that? How much can you remember of the last few hours? Mm… next to nothing. And, honestly, that’s how I like it. You know, sonny just gave me his honest opinion. He warned me about the optics of, you know, buying carly’s half of the hotel. And, yes, initially, I thought he was taking carly’s side. And he wasn’t? No, he was — he was just being a realist. He knew that olivia was gonna stay loyal to carly and the hotel staff was going to stay loyal to her. At least for right now. I’m working on them. And he wanted me to see what I was going to be up against. But he also said that we would do it together, that he would be by my side. I really appreciate you saying that I’m a good role model ’cause there’s a — there’s a few people in my family who don’t agree with that. Right. Yeah. I guess things have been quite difficult for you since you got back. Yeah. Sorry to hear about your divorce. I know from my own life that, um… sometimes people truly have irreconcilable differences, even if, at one point, they were very much in love. I mean, look at me and robert. You and robert are best friends now.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. But the thing is, I don’t think carly and I could do that because she’s got so much resentment towards nina. You’re not willing to give her up, right? You think I’m wrong? I think you’re following your heart. How can that ever being wrong?

[ Cellphone rings ] Sorry. Oh, it’s alright. Oh, I have to take this. Yeah, jordan? Hi. Attacked? But I’m here. I’m — I’m here at the quartermaines’. You want to talk about timing? Just left your kid at the main house. He’s in a bad way. You might want to go check on him. I’m not the right person to help my son. And I don’t feel comfortable leaving elizabeth alone if she doesn’t want to be with you. Elizabeth, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have gone behind your back. I thought I was helping, but I was so wrong.

[ Sighs ] I just want to talk. Please. Please don’t shut me out. Shouldn’t we be heading up to the house to let everyone know what’s happening? No. The whole estate will have to be searched. Boathouse is the perfect staging area. Mac, what is it? You two… wait here. Dispatch, it’s mac scorpio. I’m at the quartermaine estate. Send the forensics team to the boathouse. We found the attack site.

Dr. Andy: She has agonal breathing and pulse is bradycardic and thready. She needs ventilatory support. Start bagging her. Initiate massive transfusion protocol. I need four units “o” neg packed red blood cells. Let’s get two lines in her. Set me up for a central. Draw a dic panel, cbc, cmp, and blood gases. And tell the O.R. We’re coming up. Here’s your phone. Sorry about the blood. It’ll wash off.

[ Sighs ] You know, if ava lives, it’s because of you. It was both of us. Still scared? Quaking in my boots. Does that mean another date’s out of the question? I’ll risk it. So, jordan is on her way with forensics and any additional units. And, uh, mac already determined that the attacks took place in the boathouse. Do they know the name of the victim yet? No, but I-I figure jordan will know that by the time she gets here. So I’m just going to wait and see if I can be of any assistance. I mean, it makes you wonder, doesn’t it, if this is a criminal matter or intelligence. You’re not thinking victor was involved. Well, you can’t deny the possibility. Well, I guess it depends on who the victim is.

[ Cellphone chimes ] It’s jordan. Yeah, frank, uh, do me a favor. Can you tell dex that I know why he did what he did, and I’ll see him when I get there? Yeah. I know why dex didn’t show up with the paperwork. He found someone stabbed on the property, and he took her to the hospital. Stabbed here? Yeah. That’s awful. Wait. What? It was a woman. You said “her.” It was ava. Oh, my god, sonny. Ava? And she’s in pretty bad sh– no, I need to be there for her. Let’s go, then. Let’s go. Come on. I’ll go with you.

[ Police radio chatter ] Mac, what’s going on? Why are the police here? Ava jerome was attacked tonight. She’s at the hospital. Oh, my god. Finn: How bad is it? She’s in critical condition. Her survival is uncertain. I need to get to my wife. Hang on. Hang on, nikolas. Look, the police — the police are gonna need statements from all of you. We’re still determining the time of the attack. We think it happened within the last two hours. So we’re gonna need to know your whereabouts and who, if anyone, you were in contact with.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Allie: You really met the woman of your dreams?

Alex: I really did. Right here in the square. And the crazy part is, my kid brother called it this morning.

Chanel: Called it how?

Alex: He told me that one day I was gonna meet a woman that would knock me off my feet, and that is exactly what happened. She bumped into me, literally. Knocked me right here on my ass.

Chanel: And what is this klutzy dream woman’s name?

Alex: [Sighs] Stephanie. How beautiful is that? Stephanie johnson. The woman that changed the direction of my life.

Sonny: I gotta say, I’m a– I’m a little taken aback. I figured you would have jumped at the chance to work for me. I know I can pay you more than anyone else.

Stephanie: I know. And I’d love to do pr for you.

Sonny: Okay, then what’s the problem? Is it–is it alex?

Stephanie: Sonny, if you hire me, he wants to be the point man. I’d have to report to him.

Sonny: I promise you, that’s not gonna happen.

Stephanie: How do you know? That guy just doesn’t take no for an answer.

Sonny: [Sighs]

John: All right, partner, tell me you got something to go on.

Steve: I interviewed everyone within a 10-block radius of my house. Apparently, no one saw or heard anything last night.

John: What the hell is going on here? I checked out every one of orpheus’ old hideouts. He hasn’t used any of them.

Steve: He’s had our wives for a full day now. It scares the hell out of me to think what they could be going through right now.

Marlena: Kayla. Kayla! Wake up. Kayla. Are you all right?

Kayla: [Groans] I got such a headache.

Marlena: Yeah, yeah, me too. I guess orpheus’ guys don’t mess around, huh?

Kayla: Do you have double vision?

Marlena: Mm-mm.

Kayla: Me either. Well, I guess we’re as good as we could be under the circumstances. Love what he’s done with the place.

Marlena: Usually–usually, orpheus would hang around to enjoy his handiwork. Wonder why he’s not here.

Roman: All right. So abe tells me you talked him into running for governor.

Kate: So, this is a great day all around, right? To roman. Happy birthday.

Paulina: And to abe, the next governor of the state.

Abe: Well, to the four of us having a wonderful year.

Paulina: Oh, that’s right. ‘Cause nothing’s going to stop us now.

Abe: Yes!

[Dramatic music]

Orpheus: It looks like I’m just in time for the celebration.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Allie: Stephanie johnson? She’s my cousin.

Chanel: Her too? It seems like everybody in this town is your cousin.

Allie: Well, we are a complicated family.

Alex: Wait, this is great! You could put in a good word for me.

Allie: Oh, come on, you don’t need help from me.

Alex: Actually, I do. I asked stephanie out and she turned me down. Flat. Kind of caught me off-guard.

Chanel: Is that a new experience for you? Getting turned down by a woman?

Alex: Yeah.

Allie: Uh, I mean, didn’t gabi do the same thing?

Chanel: And the two of us.

Alex: Yeah, but that was different.

Allie: How?

Alex: That was bs.

Chanel: Uh, excuse me, bs?

Alex: Bs, “before stephanie.” So here I was, laying on the ground. Hey, look, right here. I’m looking up. She’s standing above me. I’m looking up at her. My whole world changed. That was it.

Chanel: Yeah, that sounds like bs all right.

Alex: All right, good, this is funny, right? You girls aren’t taking me seriously, but that’s okay, because you will see, I am not letting stephanie get away.

Allie: Alex, it kind of sounds like she already got away.

Alex: That’s so funny, right? Yeah, it’s not gonna last. She’s gonna see what I see. Trust me. She’s gonna see that we are meant to be together. We’re soulmates.

Stephanie: I don’t want to offend you, sonny. Alex is your brother.

Sonny: Okay, I promise you won’t offend me.

Stephanie: I can’t work with a guy like him. He’d be hitting on me all the time, and he’ll never be my type.

Sonny: Really? You’re turning me down because of alex?

Stephanie: No. There’s another reason. I came back to salem to take on a big job with a new client who lives here. We just had our first meeting last night, and I found out just how demanding she is.

Sonny: Well, I’m telling you, if you can deal with alex, you can deal with her.

Stephanie: You don’t know this lady. She may be more than I can handle.

Paulina: You’re orpheus? I had the living daylights scared out of me yesterday because of you? Getting grabbed by john black? ‘Cause he thought I was you?

Orpheus: Yeah. Yeah, the black patch team tends to–tends to compensate for its ineptitude with overzealousness.

Roman: So, what the hell did you do now?

Orpheus: Oh, no, no. No, poor steve got it in his head that I was going after his daughter stephanie. But after all these years, you’d think he’d know that my interests have always lain elsewhere.

Kayla: Help! Help! There are two women tied up in here! Call the police! Help!

Marlena: Kayla. Kayla. Don’t exhaust yourself. He’s made sure nobody can hear us.

Kayla: Well, steve and john have to know that we’re missing by now, so– so they’re gonna find us.

Marlena: Of course they will. But until they do, we’ve gotta take care of ourselves. Orpheus will be back. We’ve gotta figure out what we’re going to do.

Steve: I know his note said we can’t contact the police or tell anybody. But I’ll tell you what, if we can’t do everything we need to do, we should get ahold of shane, on the down low. Nobody knows orpheus better than shane donovan.

John: We can’t risk that, man. Orpheus worked inside the isa for so many years. You know he still has spies on the inside.

Steve: You’re right.

John: It’s up to us, partner. We have to find kayla and marlena, and we’re gonna do this on our own. My asthma felt anything but normal.

Sonny: Okay, so you landed an account that was bigger than you thought. What’s the big deal? You’re not a one-man operation. You have a full staff. You can have more than just one big client.

Stephanie: I can name ten firms in chicago who would love to handle titan.

Sonny: I don’t–I don’t want another firm. All right? I want you.

Stephanie: I get the feeling that kiriakis men do not take well to the word “no.”

Sonny: See? So this is about alex.

Stephanie: He is so not my type, and he never will be. And I don’t want him cornering me every time I turn around.

Sonny: And I promise you that’s not gonna happen.

Stephanie: How do you know?

Sonny: I’ve been observing my brother for a very long time. When it comes to women, very small attention span.

Alex: From now on, my whole focus is gonna be stephanie.

Allie: Uh-huh.

Alex: I’m serious. I have never, ever felt like this about anybody. We’re meant to be together.

Chanel: And how do you know that?

Alex: Because we ran into each other twice in the same day. You gonna tell me that means nothing?

Allie: I mean, maybe in tokyo or london, but that happens all the time here. And, I mean, is stephanie even into you? Or is this just all, like–

Alex: Why am I even talking about this standing here with you girls? I need to get back to the office, because she might still be there.

Allie: Okay, hey, just– before you go, little– little reminder. No means no.

Alex: Yeah. I get that. I do. All right, I’m not gonna pressure stephanie into anything. I’m gonna play it cool.

Chanel: I’d like to be there when you do that.

Alex: Well… I have waited my entire life to meet a woman like this. I’m not gonna blow it by coming on too strong.

Allie: Yeah, he’s definitely gonna blow it.

Chanel: I know!

[Both giggle]

Steve: Yeah. Got a text from stephanie this morning. “Mom and I were supposed to “have breakfast this morning, “and she didn’t show up. You know where she is?”

John: You come up with a story to tell her?

Steve: Not yet. I hate lying to her.

John: Doesn’t sound like she’s too upset yet.

Steve: Yeah. Well, that won’t last. Then what do I say? “Orpheus was able to kidnap “your mother and marlena “because your idiot father walked right into his trap”?

John: Hey, come on.

Steve: You know, at the very least, I should have followed stephanie alone and left you at the house with kayla and marlena.

John: If I thought you weren’t doing the right thing, partner, I wouldn’t have come with you.

Steve: Listen, man, our wives were sitting ducks because I made a stupid mistake.

John: Whoa, whoa, whoa, leave the “stupid” out, okay? Come on.

Steve: I should have neutralized that son of a bitch the moment he showed up and threatened my kids.

Abe: You were lucky enough to get a pardon. Why don’t you take up golf or fishing, and leave decent people alone?

Orpheus: Mr. Mayor, I’m just hear in salem to make a fresh start.

Roman: [Chuckles] Yeah, that would be you.

Orpheus: I see john and steve have had your ear.

Roman: After what you’ve done to their families, do you blame them for being suspicious of your every move?

Orpheus: [Chuckles] My old isa partner here needs to come down off his high horse. ‘Cause if anybody has a right to be angry about what was done to his loved ones, it’d be me. You’re new in town, so you probably don’t know. Birthday boy shot and killed my wife. The mother of our two small children.

Roman: Yeah, and you used her death as a license to live out your sadistic fantasies on the people of my town.

Orpheus: Perhaps it would be best if we didn’t dredge up the past.

Roman: You’re the one who started this death march down memory lane.

Orpheus: Me? No, I’m just here for the chowder.

Abe: This is a private party. I want you out of here. Now, move. Or you’re gonna find this place surrounded by squad cars.

Paulina: Well, I don’t need to wait for no cops. I can just kick your little skinny ass down to the curb myself.

Abe: Paulina. Don’T. Don’T.

Orpheus: No, no, no, no, it’s okay. It’s all good. Don’t get your feathers in a ruffle. I’m leaving. But I– I’m sure I’ll be seeing all of you. Around town. In the near future.

Kayla: You know what? You are absolutely right. We just gotta–we just gotta keep it together and stay on the offensive. So, how do you suppose we do that?

Marlena: We don’t know– we don’t know what orpheus has in mind for us, so what do we know?

Kayla: How about that he and his henchmen took us from my place, blindfolded us, and threw us in his car.

Marlena: And then drove us around for hours.

Kayla: Right. He went north for a while, then went east, and then made a u-turn.

Marlena: How do you know that? You were blindfolded.

Kayla: I have a very keen sense of direction.

Marlena: Okay, so he made a u-turn, which means he wants us to think that we are farther from salem than we are.

Kayla: Wouldn’t that be great?

Marlena: I remember hearing bells.

Kayla: While we were in the car?

Marlena: Yeah. Yeah, it wasn’t–it wasn’t the–the courthouse bells. It was something else.

Kayla: You know, and I swear that I heard a power saw or something.

Marlena: A construction area?

Kayla: Yeah, maybe. You think those bells could have been church bells? Because–because they’re restoring st. Luke’S.

Marlena: You’re right. They are. And you know what? The docks are near st. Luke’S. And there are warehouses on the docks.

Kayla: Warehouses are just right up his alley, huh? You know, we’re pretty good at this.

Marlena: It makes me think that you and I can do more than just sit around and wait to be rescued.

Kayla: Let’s make a plan. Moderate to severe eczema still disrupts my skin.

Marlena: I can’t– I can’t reach your wrists.

Kayla: I think I can reach yours. I can–I can do it. Okay. I got it. I got it. I got it.

Marlena: Okay.

Kayla: Okay.

Marlena: It’s gonna be a little hard to untie those knots.

Kayla: Come on. I’m a surgeon. Knots are my specialty.

Marlena: Yeah, tying them, not untying them.

Kayla: Okay. Aren’t you a psychiatrist? You’re supposed to give me moral support.

Marlena: Oh. Okay. Kayla, you’re doin’ just great!

Kayla: That’s good. Now, I just need to work on not looking scared when that psycho comes back.

Marlena: Kayla, he’s not gonna kill us right away. This exercise is to torture john and steve.

Kayla: Well, as bad as it is, at least it beats being sealed up in a burning coffin.

Marlena: You know my favorite thing about you? You always look on the bright side of things. I wonder what game he’s playing this time.

Kayla: Right. Because there’s always a game.

Marlena: Yeah, he just gets such a kick out of seeing us go through all the steps, doesn’t he?

Kayla: Yeah. Wouldn’t it be great if that smug bastard came in here and we were gone?

Marlena: Does that mean that you’re making some progress on the ropes?

Kayla: Yeah. Yeah, just stay still. I’m gonna have you free in a few seconds.

John: Hey, doc and kayla, they are smart. And they’re tough. We both saw what kind of a fight they put up last night.

Steve: Yeah. But he’s still got them.

John: But the fact is, we know those two ladies are not gonna give up.

Roman: Missed my opportunity, man. I shouldn’t have let him walk out of here. I should have busted him in the mouth and thrown him out.

Kate: No, come on. Don’t let that creep ruin this birthday celebration.

Paulina: That’s right. He is creepy, though.

Roman: What was that about you getting the daylights scared out of you yesterday?

Paulina: Oh, yeah, that. Well, I arranged a meeting with steve’s daughter, and I asked her not to tell anybody about it, so, you know, she wouldn’t, you know, tell her daddy where she was going.

Abe: You see, steve thought that orpheus had set up the meeting and stephanie was walking into a trap.

Paulina: It was very dark in that room. I couldn’t see much. Stephanie came in, and the next thing I knew, john black lunged at me, thinking I was that creepy man. We got it all straightened out, though.

Roman: Okay, why was this– why was this meeting so secret?

Abe: Politics. Paulina had hired stephanie to do the pr for my campaign.

Kate: Ah. And I for one am so glad you decided to run.

Roman: Yes, the state could use a man like you in the governor’s mansion.

Abe: Well, I tell you one campaign promise I will make. Guys like orpheus, they will be locked up and they will stay locked up.

Kate: Oh, people, please, this is a birthday celebration! Let’s stop talking about orpheus and let’s start talking about cake.

Paulina: I’ll drink to that.

Roman: And you want cake.

Kate: Of course I want cake!

Roman: Well, we got champagne.

Kate: Roman, it’s a birthday celebration. At a birthday celebration, you have birthday cake.

Paulina: It so happens that I know of a bakery right here on the square that makes delicious cake. Called sweet bits? You know, I could just run– run over there and get–

Kate: No, no, no, no, no. You stay right where you are. This is on me.

Sonny: And just this morning, I walk into the study and find alex half-naked on a couch with some woman.

Stephanie: In the study?

Sonny: Mm-hmm.

Stephanie: Are you kidding me?

Sonny: Yeah. I wish I was. The whole time, I could just think of what my mom would have said.

Stephanie: I can hear aunt adrienne now. “Alexander kiriakis, “you’ve got ten seconds to get that woman out of this house.”

Sonny: “And you, young lady, have some self-respect. “Never undress where his mother may find you.”

Stephanie: Yeah! [Laughs] Aww, I miss her. I can only imagine how you feel.

Sonny: That–that’s why I wanna work together. We love the same people. We have the same history. And I bet you money alex has already moved on to someone else.

Stephanie: You sure?

Sonny: Yes. Please don’t make me beg.

Stephanie: Okay.

Sonny: Okay?

Stephanie: Okay. I’ll take on titan as a client.

Sonny: Oh! Yes! Thank you!

Stephanie: On the condition that you talk to alex and make sure he understands boundaries.

Sonny: Yes, of course. The first– alex? What are you– what are you doing here?

Alex: Well, I didn’t come here to see you. These are for you, gorgeous.

[Quirky music]

-Hi, dr. Rick. It’s julie. -[ Gasps ] That’s me.

Sonny: Hey, alex. That’s a big bouquet, buddy. Could be in, like, the rose parade.

Stephanie: [Sighs] I’ll let you two talk.

Sonny: Thanks.

Alex: I think she’s really warming up to me.

Sonny: You do?

Alex: Yeah. Did you get her to accept the job?

Sonny: Yes. Yes–

Alex: That’s fantastic! Are you kidding me? Do you know how many ideas I have about just the rebrand and the new imagine–

Sonny: But there were a few conditions, the main of which–

Alex: I will let you cross all the t’s and dot the I’S.

Sonny: What are you doing?

Alex: I’m gonna go find stephanie so we can start brainstorming.

Sonny: No. No, no, no. That is not–

Alex: What are you doing?

Sonny: I am stopping you from making a huge mistake.

Alex: [Scoffs]

[Groans]

Allie: Well, I guess if alex is in love, he’ll give up on that threesome idea.

Chanel: Yeah, probably.

Allie: You know, I have to admit, it was– it was pretty sweet to see him like that.

Chanel: He reminded me of this stray dog that followed me home from school when I was in the third grade.

Kate: Hey. Sorry to interrupt. Um, I was wondering if you might have a cake. I was hoping you would have a cake for grandpa roman’s birthday celebration.

Allie: We already sold all the cakes.

Kate: I see.

Chanel: But I’m sure we can find something for grandpa roman’s party.

Allie: You’re celebrating grandpa’s birthday with him?

Kate: Yeah, I am.

Allie: I thought he was done with you.

Kate: Well, he was. But he forgave me. And I’m hoping that you’ll forgive me as well.

Paulina: I’m glad you came around and took kate back. I like her.

Abe: So do I.

Paulina: You know how the saying goes. “To err is human. “To forgive is…sometimes in your best interest.”

Roman: Oh, is that how that saying goes?

Abe: All right. All right, you two. It is picture time, so–

Roman: [Grumbles]

Abe: Come on, buddy. You’re not smiling.

Roman: [Chuckles]

John: Pretty quiet over there, partner. What are you thinking about?

Steve: I think I should go back to my place and make sure we didn’t miss anything that could tell us where he took them.

John: All right. Listen, while you’re there, get a shower and grab something to eat here. Gonna have to have clear heads if we’re gonna find them today.

Steve: All right. I’ll see you.

John: Yeah.

[Phone rings]

John: Hey, abraham.

Abe: Hey, buddy, I just called marlena and kayla, but neither one of them answered.

John: Yeah, um… they’re both at a medical conference in chicago. What’s up?

Abe: Well, we are having a birthday party for roman at the pub.

John: Mm. Boy, I’d sure like to make that, but I’m a little tied up right now.

Abe: Look, we could really use some friendly faces.

John: Yeah, why?

Abe: Orpheus showed up, and it got nasty. And roman’s not in a party mood anymore.

John: I’ll be right there.

Marlena: Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, my right wrist is getting loosened up.

Kayla: I got it. Got it, got it, got it.

Marlena: Well done.

Kayla: [Sighs]

Orpheus: Oh! It looks like I stayed away a bit too long. You miss me, ladies?

[Dramatic music]

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis persists…

Orpheus: These cuffs should keep you right where I want you. I kind of expected you to try to escape. Guess I would have been disappointed if you hadn’T.

Kayla: This all part of your game?

Orpheus: Are you not having fun, sweetness?

Kayla: Don’t you call me that.

Orpheus: Get a little cranky when you’re hungry? I know that feeling. I tried to get takeout at the pub, but the service is terrible and the staff has a bad attitude. So I just went by the drive-through.

Marlena: How do you expect us to eat wearing handcuffs?

Orpheus: Hmm. Yeah, that is a problem. Well, I guess you’ll just have to derive some vicarious satisfaction out of watching me eat. Mmm. You just can’t beat a buddy burger. Mmm.

John: Hey.

Roman: John! Thanks for coming, man.

John: Wouldn’t miss it. Wouldn’t miss it. Hey, I heard that orpheus paid you all a visit? What the hell was that about?

Marlena: Will you please tell us what you plan to do with us?

Orpheus: Marlena, you need to learn to have patience. All your questions will be answered in due time. But right now, there is something I need to attend to. So…sit back and enjoy the evening, ladies. This party’s just getting started.

Kayla: What do you suppose that means?

Marlena: I don’t know, but god help us.

Allie: I think it’s nice that you’re having a birthday party for grandpa. But I don’t think you and I have anything to say to each other.

Kate: Allie, I pled guilty.

Allie: To what?

Kate: To being an accessory after the fact in the kidnapping of sami, your mother.

Allie: What’s going to happen to you?

Kate: Well, actually, I was lucky. I got probation. I got a fine. A really big fine. 200 hours of community service, so don’t be surprised if you see me walking around salem picking up trash, wearing a very, very unattractive vest.

Allie: Well, that’s– that’s something.

Kate: Yeah. Look, I know what happened to your mother was hideous, and it was unfair.

Allie: You didn’t see her when dad brought her back from the place he had her. She was a wreck.

Kate: I know. All I could think about was protecting your dad. You know, I did not stop and think about sami. I didn’t think about you. I didn’t think about will. I didn’t think about roman. You know? It’s just something that I’m going to regret for the rest of my life. Allie, I am so, so sorry about my part in this whole thing.

Allie: Grandma.

Kate: Oh, honey, I love you. So, do you think I can see henry now?

Allie: Yeah. Sure you can.

Kate: Okay, great. And after that, I’m taking you shopping, and that is absolutely not a bribe.

Allie: I’d like that. Okay, well let me go see what is taking chanel so long. She might be making the cake from scratch, so I’m gonna go help her.

Alex: Yeah, I don’t know what you’re trying to do here, but it’s not gonna work.

Sonny: Ooh.

Alex: You have no idea what’s going on here, sonny.

Sonny: Oh, actually, I do. I have been watching you for a very long time. Stephanie is young, she’s beautiful, and she has a pulse, which means she’s exactly your type.

Alex: I don’t have a type. Not anymore.

Sonny: What? What happened?

Alex: Stephanie happened.

Sonny: Stephanie– all that happened was you bumped into her in the square.

Alex: Yeah, and that’s all that it took. Sonny, I fell down, I looked up into these beautiful eyes, and that was it for me. It’s exactly like what you said this morning. You did this. You told me I was gonna meet her, that special woman.

Sonny: Stephanie?

Alex: She’s for me. She’s the one.

Steve: I can’t believe I let that bastard take you. Where are you, sweetness?

Stephanie: Papa?

[Dramatic music]

Sonny: Okay, yes, I know I told you that eventually you would find that special someone. But I didn’t mean today.

Alex: Yeah, me neither.

Sonny: Okay, are you sure that I didn’t just put this little idea in your head, like a little subliminal message or something?

Alex: Sonny, you weren’t there. You don’t know what it was like. Look, I can’t explain it. I don’t know what to tell you, sonny, it’s true. I am attracted to a lot of women. Sue me.

Sonny: Trust me, I know that.

Alex: This is different.

Sonny: Yes. It is. In a very, very big way.

Alex: What are you getting at?

Sonny: I just hired stephanie. Stephanie works for titan. Titan has a very strict no dating policy, which means you can’t date her. You can’t even take her out for coffee.

Alex: What the– what are you– what are you talking about?

Sonny: Yeah. I know. I had to find out the hard way.

Alex: Leo stark was your assistant. Stephanie is a consultant. She’s not even an employee.

Sonny: Okay, okay. Dating the head of the pr department, do you really think that’s a good idea for the company?

Alex: Fine. I’ll quit. Sonny, what I do on my own time is none of the company’s damn business.

Sonny: You’d be putting yourself out of a job for no reason.

Alex: For no reason? There’s plenty of reason. I’ll have stephanie.

Sonny: No, you won’t! Look, I know you fell head over heels for this girl, but she doesn’t feel the same way about you. Not at all.

Steve: [Sighs] Hope you didn’t hear me talking to myself.

Stephanie: Nope. You’re safe. Do you know where mom is? When she didn’t meet me for breakfast, I went to the hospital, and she wasn’t there either.

Steve: Oh, man. I was supposed to tell you. She forgot she was going to a medical conference today with marlena.

Stephanie: I see. Well, I guess that’s why marlena didn’t keep her appointment with chad.

Steve: Oh, how’s he doing?

Stephanie: He’s hanging in for the kids’ sake. But I don’t think he’s gonna be over this for a long time. If ever.

Steve: How’s he supposed to get over losing the love of his life?

[Soft somber music]

How’s anyone do that?

Roman: [Sighs] Well, that son of a bitch just dropped by for the fun of giving everybody a hard time.

Paulina: We gave it right back to him.

John: Yeah, I bet. So, did he touch anything while he was here?

Abe: You know, he does have this annoying habit of leaving bombs behind.

Paulina: Bombs? Please, tell me that’s metaphor.

Roman: I watched him like a hawk. He didn’t take anything and he didn’t leave anything behind.

Abe: These games of his have always landed him back in a prison cell. But you know, he’s been out for a while, and he hasn’t made a move against anybody. And it makes me think that maybe the man is finally seeing reality.

Marlena: I wonder how long we have before he comes back.

Kayla: Well, if we can’t get out of these cuffs, what does it matter?

Marlena: Well, we’re not chained to the wall. Maybe we could just back our chairs together and try to figure some way out of these cuffs. My asthma felt anything but normal.

Alex: Yeah, I don’t get this. Stephanie and i bump into each other, I fall to the ground, we say a few words to each other, and now you’re telling me she doesn’t want any part of me?

Sonny: Come on, man. How can you be so crazy about a girl you’ve literally just met?

Alex: I don’t know, sonny! This has never happened to me before. So maybe you can help me out, mr. Doctor love.

Sonny: I can’T. One of stephanie’s main conditions to saying yes was that you would back off.

Alex: It’s day one. So she’s not into me. Yet.

Sonny: Okay, alex, I am asking you, as my brother, and telling you, as your boss, respect her wishes.

Alex: She’s gonna come around. She’s gonna like me. You’ll see.

Sonny: He’s gonna see another woman, and he’s gonna forget all about stephanie. Oh, my god, I hope I’m right.

Stephanie: I’m sorry I was so hard on you for last night.

Steve: Oh, no, baby. John and I busted into your important meeting like the avengers. I overreacted, and I was wrong.

Stephanie: You were looking out for me. I know that. You always just want to keep us all safe. And you do a really good job of it.

Abe: Hey, buddy. Is there something you’re not telling us?

John: No. Everything’s just fine.

Chanel: I know that took a long time, but you said your grandma would wait.

Allie: Yeah, that’s what she said. She was right here. I don’t understand.

Paulina: Kate must have decided to eat that cake all by herself. I want to get this party started!

[Phone ringing]

Roman: It’s kate. Hey, sweetheart.

Orpheus: I just realized I didn’t wish you a happy birthday, roman. Oh, and I’m afraid some of your guests aren’t gonna be able to make it. Kayla, marlena, and kate all send their regrets.

Hope: Are you sure we don’t know each other?

Deacon: I– I don’t think you guys would have ever met–

Hope: We– we haven’t met?

Deacon: You know, it’s been a hell of a day, hope. I mean, it’s getting late. And I hate to break this up but lina’s gotta get going.

Hope: Oh, I am sorry. That’s too bad. I’m sure if we kept talking, I could figure out why you look so familiar.

Liam: Mm.

Brooke: Is everything all right with douglas?

Liam: Yeah. I mean, I kind of thought he was going to reconsider staying another night at thomas’ but he just wanted to tell me a joke eric taught him. Sounds like he’s having fun.

Ridge: Of course he’s having fun. He’s with his dad.

Liam: Should I just wait for hope down at the cabin?

Brooke: I’m really surprised she’s not back from deacon’s yet.

Liam: Yeah, well, they might have just caught each other in which case it’s gonna be a minute. I mean, I dunno…

Ridge: Or maybe they missed each other. Let’s hope for that.

Liam: Okay.

Brooke: Ridge.

Ridge: What?

Brooke: He is her dad.

Ridge: He tried being her dad. Never worked out.

Brooke: Well, hope wants him around. I know you don’t, but she does.

Ridge: I– it’s not about what I want. Sooner or later, bad habits are going to come out. And you daughter’s gonna get hurt.

Quinn: And I think this is gonna look really good with that design.

Zende: Wow.

Quinn: Right?

Zende: Yeah. It’s like they were made for each other.

Quinn: Well, I was really inspired by your work. There’s a lot of fantasy to it, you know? And I don’t know, I wanted, I wanted the accessories to go along with that.

Zende: You have. You’ve made them go along with them. It’s uh… I mean, they’re amazing. Amazing.

Quinn: I think your work is amazing. I think you’ve really grown as a designer. You know, you’re bringing a lot of respect to the forrester legacy.

Zende: Thank you, quinn. That means a lot. You know, your talent shines very bright around here as well.

Quinn: Thank you.

Carter: I couldn’t agree more.

Quinn: Oh.

Carter: When I think of beauty, I think of quinn.

Quinn: Hey.

Carter: Mm.

Zende: Look at you guys. Ugh. It’s obvious how crazy you are about each other.

Carter: And we don’t have to hide it.

Quinn: Ugh, which feels amazing.

Zende: Well, it’s good to see you both so happy.

Quinn: Oh, it was a long road with lots of twists and turns but it led me to this incredible man.

Brooke: You made your feelings clear about deacon and I respect them. But I’m not going to let anybody stop his relationship with her.

Liam: It’s not like we won’t all keep an eye out.

Brooke: I’m not naive when it comes to deacon. Hope trusts him and I trust hope.

Ridge: Okay, that’s great. So what about the night you spent with him? How do you explain that? What– what about his relationship with sheila? She used deacon as a weapon to get to you because she knew how much damage it would cause.

Sheila: Uh, I think you’re making your daddy a little antsy, here.

Deacon: No.

Hope: Oh, I’m– I’m– I’m being nosy. You weren’t expecting me.

Deacon: Listen, you are always welcome here. Maybe just a phone call first.

Hope: Yeah. You know, in case you have plans, which you clearly do so i should be on my merry way.

Deacon: Listen, I– I really want to spend time with you. I’m sorry. It’s just tonight is not a good night.

Hope: No, I totally understand, dad. We’ll rain check it for later. Lina, it was so nice meeting you.

Sheila: Like– likewise.

Deacon: I love–

Hope: All right. Have fun!

Deacon: All right! What the hell were you thinking? You want to stick around here? You stay away from my kid. Dry skin is sensitive skin, too.

Zende: I think all these pairings work very well.

Quinn: Well, if you want something different, I do have lots of other options.

Zende: No, no, these are perfect. Plus, I’m sure you’re ready to call it a night. Have some alone time.

Carter: He’s talented and a mind reader.

Zende: Good night.

Quinn: Good night! Ah-ha! Hey. As much as I love working with zende, I couldn’t wait for him to leave so that I could do this.

Brooke: I don’t wanna argue about deacon.

Ridge: You think I wanna argue about him? I don’T. I– I just went to il giardino to tell him to stay away from you.

Liam: I thought he’d be up in his apartment with hope.

Ridge: That’s probably where he ran off to when you hung up with him.

Liam: Hey. There you are.

Hope: Hi. What’s, uh, going on? Is douglas all right?

Ridge: Douglas is fine. He’s with his dad. What do you mean?

Liam: I heard you uh, you let him stay another night.

Hope: Oh, yeah. I didn’t want to upset him. He seemed uh, really excited.

Liam: All right, well, beth will be home soon, so.

Hope: Great.

Liam: Did you find your dad?

Hope: Uh…? Yes.

Liam: Okay. Was it– was he acting, like, weird or anxious or squirrely?

Hope: Why?

Brooke: Ridge went to visit deacon, too.

Ridge: Seemed like he ran off to see you, maybe.

Hope: Oh. Well, now that explains things.

Brooke: What do you mean?

Hope: Well, I’ve been wondering for a while why I haven’t really heard from my dad and he said he’d been busy. But I think I know the real reason why. There’s a new woman in my dad’s life.

Sheila: You don’t need to be freaking out.

Deacon: When did hope get here? How long were you two together?

Sheila: Deacon, relax.

Deacon: Relax? Hope saw you.

Sheila: Yeah, and who’s fault was that? You could have told me she was coming.

Deacon: I didn’t know. Liam called me and told me that she was on her way here. Which is why I came over so fast.

Sheila: Yeah, and that didn’t look suspicious at all, did it? I had everything under control. You are overreacting and you still are. Are you– are you forgetting who you’re dealing with?

Deacon: Oh, I guess I must have to put up with this insanity. But then when I came here and I saw you with hope, brought me back to my senses.

Sheila: Oh god, don’t even do that. I would not have hurt your daughter.

Deacon: Really? Just like you didn’t hurt your own kid?

Sheila: Wow. Now you’re just being mean.

Deacon: Yeah? Well, it’s gonna get a whole lot meaner. I want you to pack your stuff and get out of here because this whole roommate thing, it ain’t working out. This is too dangerous. With golo, I’ve lost 13 inches in my waist.

Carter: Thank you! I told you I had something planned.

Quinn: I like the way you think, carter walton.

Carter: Not disappointed?

Quinn: In you? Never.

Carter: Well, I saw your face when there was a knock at the door.

Quinn: Well, that’s because I thought we were going to be interrupted. I had no idea this was part of some elaborate plan.

Carter: Question is, will it be successful?

> Quinn: Well, that depends what you have in mind because you do know, I am a sure thing.

Carter: Well, I want to please you, give you a break after a very long, hard day at work. And I couldn’t have you eating dinner from a vending machine.

Quinn: Oh, please. I would have just stolen donna’s leftovers from the break room.

Carter: Yeah. You know, she drizzles honey all over her food–

Quinn: Please stop, I would have ordered out.

[ Carter laughs ]

Carter: Well, I wanted to do something special to surprise you.

Quinn: Mm, well. Add that to the list. Because you always surprise me.

[Quinn sighs] You know, from the very first time that I poured my heart out to you, you listened to me. You actually heard me. Who knew? Who knew you were gonna be so, so kind and caring? Who knew we were gonna have so much in common? Who knew how good it was gonna feel to be in your arms. But the one thing… that always surprises me…. and I don’t know that I’ll ever get over is… that a woman like me could be lucky enough to fall in love with an incredible man like you.

Brooke: There’s a new woman in deacon’s life?

Hope: Well, I’m not entirely sure but I think so. I was shocked when I found her in his apartment.

Brooke: What was she doing?

Hope: Probably waiting for him to get off work. But she was nice about it.

Liam: Okay, so she’s nice.

Hope: Well, we barely spoke but yeah.

Brooke: I’m surprised deacon never said anything.

Hope: Well, I’m sure he’S… it’s new. You know, he seemed kind of nervous around her.

Ridge: Nervous?

Hope: I, uh– I’m pretty positive that it was a little awkward for him with me being there. I kind of wish I got more of an opportunity to talk to her, but yeah.

Brooke: Who is she?

Hope: Oh, lina. She seems kind of familiar. I have the strangest sense that I’ve met her somewhere before.

Deacon: Dumb, stupid. I knew this was a bad idea. Why did I listen to you?

Sheila: Would you just stop it because you’re losing it.

Deacon: I’m losing it. Why the hell aren’t you? Hope was thrown. She– she was asking questions.

Sheila: I was dealing with it.

Deacon: Oh– oh, I know how you deal with things. Why the hell do you think I got up here so fast?

Sheila: You almost gave us away.

Deacon: Us? Did you tell hope that we’re together?

Sheila: I didn’t even get a chance to say a word to her before you came crashing through that door.

Deacon: Good. Because I don’t want you talking to her or anyone else. All I want you to do is get out.

Sheila: Okay, look it, you need to get a grip.

Deacon: What part of you’re supposed to be dead aren’t you getting? What if hope recognized you? She said you looked familiar.

Sheila: You listen to me right now. You take a deep breath and you pull yourself together. Because I had everything under control. What you’ve got going on, this panicky thing? It doesn’t do it for me. Cats really know how to do… less,

Quinn: Oh, just a little bit more.

Carter: Yeah?

Quinn: Mm-hm, yeah.

Carter: Don’t want to keep you from your work.

Quinn: Work-shmurk. Come on. You’re fueling my inspiration. Besides, I’m not just talking about the, the food or the wine, although all of that is delicious.

Carter: All your favorites.

Quinn: Mm… you know, I think you can just add all of that to the list, right? Thoughtfulness. One of the other many things I love about you.

Carter: Well, I’m always thinking of you.

Quinn: I know that.

Carter: I hope so.

Quinn: You know, there was a time that I would have balked at all of this. I would have thought I was too strong and independent to have to admit that I… like, need this kind of attention. I would have felt unworthy.

Carter: No one is more worthy than you, quinn.

Quinn: And I would have made fun of you for saying that to me, as well.

Carter: I’m not against a little teasing. Can I tell you a secret?

Quinn: Mm-hmm?

Carter: I find your self-awareness incredibly sexy. And brave. And beautiful. It’s what attracted me to you in the first place: Your openness, the way you look at a situation and see its truth. You see a beautiful design in unpolished stone, a coil of metal. You see more deeply than anyone I’ve ever met. And when I’m with you, I see deeper, too. My life. What I want? When I look in your eyes, I see a whole future.

Quinn: I hope you’re not going to compare yourself to an unpolished stone because you, carter, are chiseled to perfection.

[ Carter laughs ]

Carter: Okay. Okay, I walked into that one.

Quinn: Yeah, you did. Now, walk into this.

Brooke: You said this is new.

Hope: Well, it seems that way if it is something.

[ Liam chuckles]

Liam: Been quite a bit of radio silence from your dad, lately.

Hope: Yeah, well, I figured he was just trying to steer clear of the house, but who knows? You know, they might just be friends. They might be something more. I… I don’t know. I just– I don’t understand why my dad didn’t tell me about it.

Ridge: So he’s keeping her secret.

Hope: Well, I don’t know about that. He did say that they’ve been friends for a while.

Ridge: A while?

Hope: I don’t know how long. I– I didn’t really get the chance to talk much because it seemed like they wanted to be alone.

Brooke: You didn’t learn anything about her at all?

Hope: Not much. No.

Ridge: Honestly. What kind of a crazy woman would want to be with deacon? Right?

Sheila: You’re just making things worse by chasing hope out of here.

Deacon: What did you want me to do, invite her in and suggest we all get take out?

Sheila: She thought we were dating. You– you could have left it at that.

Deacon: You gotta go. All right? She could come back.

Sheila: How about this? The next time you go out, you lock the door.

Deacon: This isn’t happening! Sheila, please. You gotta go.

Sheila: We had a deal.

Deacon: It didn’t involve my kid.

Sheila: She– she didn’t know it was me and she won’T.

Deacon: She could.

Sheila: You and i did a lot more the other night than just talk and you had no clue it was me.

Deacon: Who the hell knows how many drinks I had?

Sheila: Yeah, well, you know what? You should be glad.

Deacon: Glad?

Sheila: Yes, because hope didn’t recognize me which means nobody else will!

Deacon: This isn’t a game.

Sheila: You think I don’t know that? I faked my own death, deacon. I could be in hiding for the rest of my life. But if I get caught, I’m going straight to prison. My life is on the line and I’m counting on you. So, like it or not, we’re in this together. Oh, my god. Your heart is beating so fast. The stress is just, is not good for you. I think, maybe what we should do is just take a nice, hot shower, relieve some of that.

ABC The Con- Thursday (9/1) Show More

On a New Episode of ‘The Con,’ the Return of Jim Bakker, Who Prosecutors Say Has Been Up to His Old Tricks Attempting To Con His Faithful Followers With a Sham COVID Cure The ABC News Studios Primetime Series Narrated by Whoopi Goldberg Airs Thursday, Sept. 1, on ABC “The Comeback” – Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker were once enormously successful at raising money for their televised religious programs. After its 1974 debut, their cable show became the highest-rated religious show in the country. In the 1980s, the Bakkers continued their success by building Heritage USA, a first-of-its-kind 2,200-acre Christian resort and amusement park, but the government would charge that Bakker had secured funding by defrauding his faithful viewers. In 1989, he was convicted and initially sentenced to 45 years in prison but ultimately only served five. In 2021, prosecutors claimed that Bakker was once again up to his old tricks but this time without Tammy Faye. They said he made promises on “The Jim Bakker Show” that his “Silver Solution” was a cure for the coronavirus; however, instead of a miracle, they said drinking silver could be toxic and even turn consumers permanently blue in the face if consumed in large quantities. The FDA immediately issued a cease-and-desist order while the states of Missouri and Arkansas sued him for his false claims. Bakker entered a settlement agreement promising not to sell the solution anymore but continued to deny wrongdoing. “The Comeback,” a new episode of “The Con,” airs THURSDAY, SEPT. 1 (10:00-11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC and next day on demand and on Hulu. The ABC News Studios primetime series is narrated by Emmy®, GRAMMY®, Tony® and Oscar® winner and moderator of “The View,” Whoopi Goldberg, with weekly appearances by podcaster Laci Mosley (“Scam Goddess”) as a featured expert.
