Ridge: No. I’m finishing upr: Um, yes, I did. Thank you for asking. She’s going to watch my patients until I get back.

Ridge: Makes things a little easier, right?

Taylor: All I can think about right now is getting to monaco to see steffy.

Ridge: Well, we’ll be there soon enough. Meet ya at the jet.

Taylor: Okay. Bye.

[ Knocking on door ] Yeah?

Deacon: Hey.

Taylor: Deacon.

Deacon: What’s going on? Where’s your big, funny bodyguard?

Taylor: Well, we don’t really need him right now. Ridge and I are going out of town. We need to go check on steffy.

Deacon: You guys are going to europe.

Taylor: You know, we thought that– that being away would maybe help change her perspective on things, but losing finn is just too much for her.

[ Humming gently ]

Sheila: There he is.

Finn: What’d you do? What did you do?

Sheila: I’m sorry. I don’t want to have to keep sedating you, but you’re going to hurt yourself if you keep lashing out like that.

Finn: You sedated me again?

Sheila: Yeah, but it’s wearing off. You got some rest. That’s a good thing. I’m gonna have to lay down a few ground rules. No more outbursts and tirades, okay? It’s just only going to cause you setbacks and I know you don’t want that.

Finn: I want to go home. I need to see steffy. Today.

Bill: Hey, good morning. I don’t know if you drank coffee, but I made a cup. How ya feeling? You’re all cleaned up. You look great. Did you sleep well? Are you ready to tell me your name? What happened to ya? It’s okay. I think we’re going to have a breakthrough today.

[ Knocking on door ]

Zende: Good, I caught you.

Ridge: Barely, I’m on my way to the airport.

Zende: So I heard, uh, you’re going to see steffy?

Ridge: Yeah.

Zende: Give my cousin my best. All of us, we’re all thinking about her. Please tell her that.

Deacon: I’m sorry. I– I know that you thought that this time away would be good for steffy.

Taylor: Ah, I really did. You know, she likes to do things in her own way. You know?

Deacon: Wonder where she gets that from? Look, think of it this way: She needs more help with her grief and she’s getting it so that’s a good thing.

Taylor: It is but– but, she hasn’t been okay and she’s been keeping it from us.

Deacon: Well then, you gotta go and see yourself. I’ll be thinking about you while you’re gone.

Taylor: Thank you, deacon. That’s really sweet. You know, I– I– I don’t think that we should see each other like this when I get back.

Finn: You know that this is wrong.

Sheila: You’ve got to stop behaving like this. You’re still recovering.

Finn: You’re not listening.

Sheila: It’s not doing you any good to fight me.

Finn: Steffy thinks I’m dead because of you. And my mother is gone because of you.

Bill: I found you down by the wharf. You were hurt. Scared. Maybe if I tell you more about myself, which is my favorite subject anyway. Well, maybe then you’ll– you’ll tell me more about you, your name, what happened to you? I told you I have three sons. What– what– what? Hey, liam. Sort of talking about you.

Liam: I couldn’t take it anymore. Where is this, uh– where’s this total stranger you’ve invited into your home?

Bill: She’s in her room.

Liam: She got a room now, huh? Who are you? What is happening right now? You don’t even know this person.

Bill: We’re working on that.

Liam: Is this because of that little conversation you had with wyatt?

Bill: It’s because I found this woman alone in an alley, she was in bad shape and I decided to help her. And that’s what I’m gonna do. And I would think that you, of all people, would understand that. (Vo) at dog chow

Ridge: All right, I need to get going.

Zende: You and taylor must be anxious to see steffy.

Ridge: We are. I don’t want to keep her waiting.

Zende: Yeah.

Ridge: Thanks.

[ Zende sighing ]

Taylor: I’m not trying to be hurtful or insensitive.

Deacon: You don’t have it in you. Taylor, listen, if– if you don’t want me to stop by anymore, I’m not going to push back.

Taylor: Thank you. Thank you. Because timing is everything and–

Deacon: Stop, please. Come on. I’m a big boy. You don’t have to play that game with me–

Taylor: Oh, good, good. So you– you understand?

Deacon: Yeah, of course I understand. Uh, yea, this is a bitter pill that I’ve been swallowing for a long time now.

Taylor: But you know that this has nothing to do with you or your past, it’S…

Deacon: Yeah. No, I know exactly what it has to do with. Ridge. It’s always ridge.

Taylor: Well, you know– you know how he feels about you.

Deacon: And you’re still hung up on him.

Taylor: I’m trying not to be. Right now, I am just focused on our kids and our grandkids.

Deacon: And you don’t want to upset him?

Taylor: You know, I– I– I don’t think I could handle any more conflict of any kind right now. And I know that my children couldn’T. My god, we have been through so much.

Deacon: You’re afraid that he’s going to ditch you the same way he ditched brooke when she got too close to me. You– you get– you get how messed up this is, right? Why the hell does he get to make all the rules? I understand you have kids and I– I know things have been rough. But the reality is this: He is married to brooke. He’s moved back in with her which means he is this close to recommitting to her. And so I just don’t get why he gets to dictate who you see.

Sheila: You’re twisting what I told you.

Finn: You were chasing my moher when she died. She was running away from you.

Sheila: I didn’t want anything to happen to li, I trusted her. We were going to be a team. Make you healthy again. She even told me she could see how much I love you. She lied to me. But my love is true, finn. Honey, I love you so much.

Finn: Prove it. Prove your love for me. My son. Send me home. Let me be with my family again.

Liam: Listen, all I’m saying is this doesn’t– it doesn’t feel very… bill.

Bill: All right look, uh, it’s not like I don’t do any good things, all right? I poured money into charities for years. Even the forrester foundation.

Liam: Thought you did that to stick it to ridge.

Bill: I did. But that’s not the point.

Liam: Okay, what is the point?

Bill: I don’t know. No, I– I– I do know. I do know. The point is, I want to make a difference.

Liam: Dad, there’s literally a foundation in your name. You give millions to charity every year. What are you talking about?

Bill: Liam, look, that’s from a distance. That’s with my checkbook. All right? With this woman, I can do something immediately impactful for just one person.

Liam: No, that– trust me. That’s cool. But, you know, devil’s advocate. You– you don’t know this person whom you found in an alley. They could be unstable. They could be a drug addict or a criminal, like you don’t–

Bill: Yes, she’s a– she’s an undercover hit woman for the mob–

Liam: Okay. That is not what I’m saying–

Bill: You’re being ridiculous. Keep your voice down. Trying to get her to trust me.

Liam: Okay.

Bill: Look, liam, I’m telling you. There is a story that this woman has to tell. Now, I don’t know why, but I have got to figure out what it is. You can call it my– my spency-senses tingling. You better get that look off your face, son.

Liam: What? It’s my instincts that built an empire.

Liam: I’m not– I’m not questioning your instincts, but clearly you have formed some kind of connection with this woman.

Bill: Liam, I have to help her. I need to do this. You said that you would shave your eyebrow off

Deacon: I’m not trying to tell you what to do. I don’t think anyone should tell you what to do. That’s the point.

Taylor: It’s a– it’s a sharpe point. You– see what I–

Deacon: Just saw it. Exactly what you were– it was very cute, but obviously not a sharp enough point to change your mind.

Taylor: Nope. It’s not. Look, ridge and I are about to get on a plane to go see our daughter and our grandkids. And when we get there, steffy’s going to need us like she’s never needed us before. She’s in the deepest depression.

Deacon: Well, there’s nobody more qualified to pull her out of it than you are. And when she’s better– and she will get better– and when you’re back in L.A. I– I just– I think we oughtta just see nci test for “the talk”..” Nci test for “the talk”..” Nci test for “the talk”..” Nci test for “the talk”. And even– even before, all the way back to your– your wedding. All I ever wanted was to meet you, finn. To congratulate you and tell you how proud I was. And how I horribly regretted ever giving you up. I never meant to hurt anyone, especially you.

Finn: Show me, then. Let me go. Set me free. Let me go home.

Ridge: Are we ready to go?

Trevor: Flight plan’s filed. As soon as dr. Hayes is on board, we can take off.

Ridge: Cool, she’s on her way.

Taylor: Sorry, sorry, sorry. I got hung up at the office, but I’m here now. Hi, captain.

Trevor: Hey. I was just telling mr. Forrester that we’re cleared to take off any time.

Taylor: Okay. The sooner we get there, the better.

Trevor: We’ll be there as soon as possible.

Ridge: Thanks, trevor.

Trevor: Yes, sir.

Taylor: Hi.

Ridge: Hi.

Taylor: Our daughter needs us, ridge. I wish we were there already.

Bill: You have two choices, liam. All right? You can get on board. Or you can get the hell out. Now, enough with this. I don’t wanna talk about it anymore. Talk to me about steffy. You said she was struggling.

Liam: Oh, yeah. Well, it turns out that she had to check herself into a depression rehab facility, which, you know, I can’t say I blame her after all the trauma surrounding finn. Oh, hey. Uh, there you are. Now, come on in. I– I want you to meet someone. This is my son.

Liam: Li. Li. Li that– um, I’m liam. Liam spencer. I’m kelly’s dad. Do you– oh, my god. What happen– what happened to you? Are you okay? Kids, one year they want all dinosaurs stuff

Ridge: Who are you texting?

Taylor: Flavia, the lead therapist in monaco. Just letting her know we’re on our way.

Ridge: Just wish we could be there already. I want to see steffy and the kids.-Taylor: Me too. I’m glad that she got help. I really am. I just wish she would have let us know how she was feeling.

Ridge: Why was she putting on a brave face when we talk to her all the time? Why?

Taylor: Because the forresters power through.

Ridge: And we pull together.

Finn: I keep asking for the same thing.

Sheila: I can’t do that. I can’t let you go. No, I can’t let you jeopardize all the progress that you have made.

Sheila: Why– why– why can’t you be grateful for what you have? I am.

Finn: You’re not being kept apart from the people that you love.

Sheila: I love you. I’m not going anywhere. I’m right here.

Finn: My family’s hurting, sheila. They need to know that I’m alive. All I’m asking for is a little bit of mercy.

Sheila: Oh, yeah, the way that steffy showed me mercy? When she tricked me into meeting her at il giardino. When she followed me into that back alley and berated me and threatened me? When all I wanted was a little consideration, a little compassion, a chance to show them that I could be good. But steffy and li, they used that against me. I trusted them and they lied to me. I’m telling you the truth and I’m saying it as clearly as I can: I want to go home. Steffy and hayes, they need me. You took my mother away from me. Sheila, I’m never going to see her again. Now, give me back my wife and son.

Bill: You know this woman?

Liam: It’s li– dad. It’s li– this is li. This is steffy’s mother-in-law.

Bill: Wha– wha– finn’s mother? Well, we never met.

Liam: How– are you– are you all right? I mean, what are you even– I don’t understand any of this.

Bill: I really don’t now.

Liam: Were you attacked, are you– or were you in an accident? Like what–

Bill: Why didn’t you tell me who you were? I know finn and steffy. He was helping to raise my grandchild. I mean, his death impacted all of us.

[ Li and sheila screaming ]

Li: Come on, come on.

[ Engine revving ]

Oh!

Oh! Sheila. Sheila. Sheila.

Bill: Sheila? Wait, sheila carter?

Li: Finn! My son, finn!

Liam: No, yeah, no, we know. We– we– we know. Sheila killed finn. It’s a tragedy that he’s gone.

Li: No, no, no, no. Finn. He’s not dead. Finn’s alive. My– my son’s alive.

Nick: Victoria! Vick, open the door!

[ Wind whipping ]

[ Doors rattling ]

Victoria: What do you mean, there’s only one way to end this?

Ashland: Oh, I don’t know. What does it sound like to you?

Victoria: It sounds like you’re crazy, ashland.

Ashland: Well, but does it sound like the truth? Because that’s what it is, victoria. It’s how I honestly feel! Do you understand that? There is only one way for this to end!

[ Wind whipping ]

Victoria: I hear my phone ringing. It’s in the kitchen, and i need to answer it.

Ashland: Whoever’s calling, they’re gonna have to leave a message.

Victoria: It’s my security detail. Yeah, they check in with me every 15 minutes, and if I don’t answer it, they’re gonna be here in a hurry.

Ashland: Well, then… we’re gonna have to make this quick.

Nikki: So, adam thinks that ashland is out for blood. And you believe him? I see. Well, what does that mean, victor? Well, I’ll keep my eyes open, but I’m more worried about victoria. Please make sure she’s safe. Yes. I know. You have everything under control. I’ll see you soon.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Phyllis: Hey. Are you ready for our meeting? Oh, my gosh. Please, please tell me your investigators came up with something on diane. This is really urgent. Every single day she’s here, she sticks her talons in even deeper.

[ Wind whipping ]

Jack: Hey, get in here quick, quick.

Diane: Oh, gosh! That wind came out of nowhere.

Jack: Yeah, that’s what we used to call a wicked wind when I was a kid.

Diane: I’ve never heard that phrase before.

Jack: No?

Diane: No.

Jack: Well, it’s an old wives’ tale about summer winds that come in and manage to make things hot rather than cool. It’s a bad omen.

Diane: Oh.

Jack: So, in july, when a wind like this kicks up, well, you know trouble’s right around the corner. And here you are.

Diane: [ Sighs ] I’m sorry to drop by unannounced. I just, um, wondered if I could talk to kyle for a few minutes.

Jack: Actually, he and summer are gone, but I’m glad to see you here.

Diane: Oh, really? Why is that?

Jack: I just haven’t had a chance to thank you.

Diane: Well, I’m not sure i know what I did to deserve your thanks, but I’m happy to find out.

Jack: What you did in the park, protecting our grandson from ashland locke.

Nick: Hey, I’m outside your house. I think you’re home. I can see the lights on. But maybe you’re asleep. Um…vick, just call me, okay? Call me back. Let me know you’re safe.

[ Wind whipping ]

Victoria: I’m telling you the truth, ashland. My security detail is on the way. That’s — that’s them on the phone. They’re gonna be here soon.

Ashland: Why should I believe a word you say? You’ve been lying to me for weeks.

Victoria: I’ve been lying to you? I can’t believe you say that with a straight face.

Ashland: I really do regret that it has to end this way, victoria. I do. I mean, but maybe it was inevitable. You think? I-I understood when we first met that we were both incredibly unique individuals. We were both powerhouses, ambitious. We were driven. We both wanted to be on top. So maybe it was a mistake for us to think that we could actually work this out because both of us can’t be on top. That’s the way the world works. One of us had to fall.

Victoria: I don’t know what you’re talking about. I just know that you have to leave now.

Ashland: I was honest with you. I was myself with you. Do you remember — do you remember when you gave me this ring, huh? The loch family ring. You told me it was a symbol for who I am now. It was supposed to represent our bright, shiny future. What does it represent now, victoria? What do you think? Huh?

Victoria: [ Breathes deeply ]

Ashland: Nothing. Nothing but your lies and your deception. I will never wear it again. But I’m gonna keep it because it will remind me of how cruel people can be.

Victoria: I’m cruel?

I’m cruel? After everything that you’ve done?

Ashland: I loved you! And you used that love against me! You played me for your own personal gain!

Victoria: I can’t believe you’re saying this. You’re the one who — you —

Ashland: What? I’m the one who what? I’m the one who started it? Is that what you were gonna say? Who cares? Who gives a damn? What difference does it make? Everything I did to you, you did to me, which makes you no better than me. In fact, you’re worse because i was willing to become a better person. I was willing to — to — to change myself because of you. I was willing to walk through fire for you!

Victoria: Ashland, please calm down.

Ashland: I risked my life pulling you from that burning car only to have you destroy it! I should have left you! I should have let you die… because maybe then I could still believe now that you loved me to the bitter end. My a1c stayed here,

Diane: Jack, you’re making too much of what I did.

Jack: Am I?

Diane: Yes. I did what anybody in my place would have done. I knew about the restraining order, so when ashland showed up at the park, I texted michael.

Jack: You still took a risk. I know ashland was playing on your emotions.

Diane: Well, then you deserve some of the credit, too, because you warned me about him and i actually listened.

Jack: No, you showed real bravery. You got the message to michael without alerting locke.

Diane: Well, he was pretty distracted when he saw harrison.

Jack: Well, that may be, but you chanced getting on the wrong side of him, and we all know what he’s capable of. He’s devious. He’s vindictive. He’s capable of retribution.

Diane: I really don’t think I’m in any danger.

Jack: Why are you arguing with me on this? Say, “thank you, jack. I am happy to keep our grandson safe and sound.”

Diane: Thank you, jack. I am happy to keep our grandson safe and sound.

Jack: Well, now, that wasn’t so hard, was it?

Diane: No. It felt pretty great, actually.

Jack: I know kyle is very pleased with how you handled things. It meant a lot to both of us.

Diane: I’d do anything for our son. So, do you think he and summer will be home soon?

Jack: I really don’t know. Is everything alright?

Diane: Oh, yeah, definitely. I just, um — well, there’s just a couple of work issues that I’d like kyle’s advice about, but it — it can wait. Thanks, jack. Although…

Jack: What?

Diane: Well, you do run the parent company. Maybe you can help.

Nikki: I’m afraid my investigators have not come up with any skeletons in diane’s closet.

Phyllis: I was hoping they’d come up with something good and juicy.

Nikki: I know. I’m disappointed, too.

Phyllis: Maybe ashley has come up with something. Where is she, anyway? I mean, nothing is more important than getting rid of diane.

Nikki: Oh, she texted. “Can’t make it tonight. Please keep me updated.”

Phyllis: Seriously? What else is she doing? Nothing is more important than this.

Nikki: Yeah, but then she goes on, “don’t worry about diane using allie again. Allie can hold her own.”

Phyllis: Oh, okay. Listen, I wish I had the same faith in allie that ashley does. Honestly, this girl — she’s lovely. She’s lovely and sweet. And you know diane. She takes advantage of people like that.

Nikki: Maybe ashley knows something about her grand-niece that we don’T.

Phyllis: I doubt it. Seriously, I can’t believe this is happening. Look at how quickly diane has wormed her way into the lives of people who live here. Walking around town, having coffee, eating, like she has no problem. She should be tarred and feathered. Honestly, it’s disgusting.

Nikki: Okay, you are really riled up tonight. Any particular reason?

Phyllis: I’ll tell you why. I had a conversation with summer. You know what summer said? She went on and on about diane and how wonderful she is because I guess she saved harrison from ashland. And she was going on like diane deserved a medal or a parade or something.

Nikki: That’s ridiculous. I was there. She sent michael a text. That’s the extent of her involvement.

Phyllis: Are you kidding me? And you know she probably did it so everybody would fawn all over her.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] Ashland locke. The gift that keeps on giving.

[ Doors rattling ]

Victoria: I don’t think you can blame me for how sad and lonely you– you’ve turned out to be. You did it to yourself.

Ashland: Stop saying that! You sound exactly like your father!

Victoria: Even if I had died — died in that crash

[Scoffs] You still wouldn’t have been loved because those feelings that I had for you — they were based on a lie. It was all false. I was in love with this man that you were pretending to be.

Ashland: And who was that, victoria? A stronger, younger version of your dad?

Victoria: No, no, not even close. I see you now. I see you for who you really are. You’re not the great and powerful ashland locke. And you’re definitely nowhere — nowhere near the man my father is. You’re not even poor, pathetic bobby defranco, who you left in new jersey all those years ago.

Ashland: Fine, fine! Okay, then who am I, victoria? Who the hell am I?!

Victoria: You’re pathetic! You’re sad and ugly and disgusting! No one could ever love you!

Ashland: Don’t say that!

Ashland: Ahh! No — you bitch. No, you are not gonna get to that phone.

Nick: Hey!

Ashland: No.

Nick: Stay right there!

Ashland: No.

Nick: What is going on?

Ashland: Don’t get involved, nick. Your sister and I are saying our final goodbyes. (Kid 1) where’s lucky?

Jack: I don’t want to step on any toes. Marchetti is kyle’s domain. Maybe you better wait and ask him your questions.

Diane: No, my — my questions are larger, philosophical ones, not specific to marchetti, things like protocol or early expectations versus long-term goals.

Jack: That’s what is troubling you? Come on. I would think for you that would be rudimentary. You have been in business as long as I have known you. Please tell me that pretending you were dead hasn’t taken away your ability to handle new situations.

Diane: Maybe I’m just a little rusty.

Jack: So fake it. Come on. I am convinced you can fake anything. You can bluff your way through a hundred different scenarios.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Are you teasing me or being deliberately mean?

Jack: I’ll never tell.

Diane: [ Laughs ]

Jack: Okay, fine. I’ll give you what advice I can. I was about to freshen my drink. Can I, um, maybe pour you one?

Diane: Sure, I’ll — I’ll take what you’re having, which I’m assuming is smooth and smoky and at least 25 years old.

Jack: You know me well.

Phyllis: That’s what’s garnering all this praise for diane? She texted michael?

Nikki: That’s it. She told him that ashland was in the park near harrison, which is a violation of his restraining order. But, my god, you would have thought she had saved the boy from a burning building, the way michael gushed over her.

Phyllis: What is wrong with michael? Seriously. All she did is what any good babysitter would do at the sign of trouble.

Nikki: I totally agree with you. The look that ashland gave her — I mean, it was like she had betrayed a confidence or something. And it made me wonder if maybe they had an arrangement and she double-crossed him.

Phyllis: Hmm. That would be just like diane.

Nikki: Oh, well, the worst part of all of this is that ashland got out of jail in a matter of hours.

Phyllis: Wow. Just sitting there in jail, simmering, stewing, sharpening his grudge.

Nikki: Exactly. And now this fiasco has made him even more furious.

Nick: Does someone want to tell me what is going on here?

Victoria: Nothing more to say to ashland. I’ve asked him to leave repeatedly.

Nick: Yet you’re still here. Why?

Ashland: I have committed no crime. I didn’t break in. She invited me in.

Victoria: Because you were lurking outside.

Nick: Vick, call the police.

Ashland: Oh, no, no, no. There’s no reason to call the police, right, victoria? You said yourself your security team is on their way right now, in spite of the fact that there’s been no intended malice on my part.

Nick: Everything you’ve ever done to this family’s with malice.

Ashland: Oh, you newmans — you’re all the same. You circle the wagons. You don’t trust anybody on the outside, even when they’re telling you the truth.

Victoria: When is the last time you told the truth?

Ashland: So what is this, nick, huh? You come busting in here. You break up a conversation between a husband and wife?

Victoria: You’re not my husband.

Ashland: We still have a relationship!

Nick: Hey, hey, hey.

Ashland: We have a bond that can’t be broken! You keep your hands off me.

Nick: Vick, call the police now.

Victoria: My phone’s in the kitchen.

Ashland: No! No! We are not finished. You stay where you are.

Nick: Don’t you talk to her like that!

Ashland: Oh, what are you now, huh? Nick, the protector? Is that it? Huh? Nick, the great protector? Let me tell you something. I’m gonna talk to your sister however I damn well please.

Nick: This is your last warning!

Ashland: Or what?!

Nick: You can walk out of here now on your own, or we’re gonna have a problem.

Victoria: I’m calling the police.

Ashland: I’ve done nothing wrong!

Victoria: You broke into my house. You — you threatened me. You grabbed me!

Ashland: No! Enough, alright? I —

Nick: You put your hands on her?!

Ashland: Ugh!

Nick: Ashland! Ashland!

Phyllis: You know, I’m sorry that ashland is a powder keg ready to explode. I’m really sorry about that. And I’m sure he’s making the newmans responsible for everything. I mean, why doesn’t he just point his anger toward someone who deserves it, like diane?

Nikki: Yeah, that’s a nice thought, but she would walk away unscathed. I don’t understand how she lives this charmed life.

Phyllis: I don’t get it. It — it baffles me, honestly. It seems like every single person in this town believes her. That’s why it’s up to us to get rid of her.

Nikki: We need to come up with a foolproof plan.

Phyllis: I’ve been thinking of something. Just hear me out. It seems like the key is her job at marchetti with kyle and summer. What if she was to — I don’t know — fail spectacularly and leave?

Nikki: I like the sound of that.

Phyllis: Well, this is what I’m thinking. What if we orchestrated it that she was intentionally trying to sabotage the company and it exploded? Maybe that way, kyle and summer will lose faith in her and they’ll want her to leave. I mean, kyle’s the key. Without the support from kyle, she has nothing. And she’ll get out of town.

Nikki: I am really liking this. I knew I could count on you to come up with something devious and underhanded.

Phyllis: Yeah, I’m just better at it than you are. But this time, you know, the ends justify the means.

Nikki: Okay. So, we have the general idea. How do we go about arranging for diane’s spectacular fail?

Diane: Thank you. I have to admit I’m — I’m a bit anxious about it. Working in P.R. For a big-time fashion house is a huge responsibility.

Jack: I would have said nothing makes you nervous.

Diane: Well, that’s the image I like to project. I’m only sharing this with you. I don’t generally let people see this side of me.

Jack: Well, gee, I’m flattered.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Well, given our history, there’s really no point in me trying to fool you. I mean, it’s like you said before — I can fake my way through any scenario. But I want this job at marchetti to be different. I don’t want to let kyle down.

Jack: I understand that.

Diane: So I have to know going in what I’m doing.

Jack: You don’t have to know everything on your first day. Kyle knows there is on-the-job training involved.

Diane: Yeah, but it’s not just kyle I’m worried about. I mean, I — I need to impress summer and — and the rest of the world.

Jack: Yeah, I get that. Kyle’s gonna give you the benefit of the doubt every time. Summer — well, she could be a little tougher.

Diane: Yeah, I can’t bluff or use my old bag of tricks with her.

Jack: Can I ask you a question about your old bag of tricks?

Diane: Go ahead.

Jack: Is there one in there where you show up asking for kyle when all along you really just wanted jack’s advice?

Diane: I’ll never tell.

Jack: [ Laughs ] God.

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Ashland: Locke! Get up. You’ve been a fake since the first day I met you. I’m not buying it. Get up! Locke?

Victoria: Oh, my god. What happened? Nick, what’s wrong?

Nick: I, um — I can’t feel a pulse.

Victoria: Ashland? Ashland?

Nick: Can you find a pulse? Vick. Life… doesn’t stop for diabetes.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Phyllis: Yeah. You know, I have to admit, sabotaging diane at marchetti, it’ll be tricky. I mean, we don’t want to do anything that will hurt the company. And also, summer shouldn’t have to suffer the consequences for diane.

Nikki: Oh, no, I don’t want that, either. The problem is, we don’t have anybody on the inside at marchetti. I mean, ashley is strictly on the jabot side of the things.

Phyllis: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there are people coming from italy to work, and also there are some new hires. Do we happen to know any of those new employees?

Phyllis: No. I mean, it’s ironic. Summer offered me a job there when she was in milan. I turned it down. I mean, I would be on the inside now.

Nikki: Why didn’t you take it?

Phyllis: It didn’t fit into my plans.

Nikki: It was because of jack, wasn’t it? You didn’t take the position because of him.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Jack was here. I didn’t want to leave, even for milan.

Nikki: I’m sorry, phyllis. You had your heart set on reuniting with jack, hopefully for good this time.

Phyllis: Yeah. It was going well, nikki. This time, it was going really well. It was.

[ Sighs ] You know what? That’s why I’m more determined to do this. I will do whatever it takes to get this bitch out of our lives for good.

Jack: I think you need to stop putting so much pressure on yourself.

Diane: I disagree. I don’t think I’m feeling enough pressure. I mean, I never expected to be back here. Sometimes it feels like a dream. I — I can’t believe I’m back in genoa city working on my relationship with my son. I have a good thing going. And I don’t want to mess it up.

Jack: Of course you don’t, but try to remember that kyle and summer are intelligent, rational people. They hired you knowing you were not an expert in public relations. They don’t expect you to light the world on fire in your first week. All they expect, I’m guessing, is commitment and honesty.

Diane: Honesty in public relations? Isn’t that a little unusual?

Jack: Not for companies under the jabot umbrella. I’m guessing that’s the hardest part for you.

Diane: Jack.

Jack: You may not like it, but it’s true.

Diane: [ Sighs ] I’m just hoping a day will come when people stop rubbing my history in my face.

Jack: Old habits die hard.

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

[ Sniffles ]

Nick: Vick?

Victoria: It’s no use. He’s dead.

Nick: Mnh. Did you call the police?

Victoria: No. I didn’t call 911. I-I-I just ran to the kitchen to get my phone, but I was — I was hoping that maybe you could get ashland out of here before — before bringing in the authorities.

Nick: No, no, no. Call them. Call them now.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] I — I’m not sure it’s the right move.

Nick: What do you mean? Of course it’s the right move. Your ex-husband’s dead in your living room.

Victoria: Look, I’m well aware of that, nicholas. But neither one of us is thinking rational right now. Maybe we should call dad instead.

Nick: No, no, we’re not involving him in this, alright? This is on me.

Victoria: No, it’s not just — it’s not just you.

Nick: I’m responsible. I hit him. We got to do the right thing. When has circumventing the law ever worked out for us?

Victoria: Nicholas, but the consequences.

Nick: No, no, we’re gonna be fine, okay? We’re gonna be fine. He attacked you. He was going after you, so I had to hit him, and then he hit the ground. It’s a clear-cut case of self-defense. We’re fine.

Victoria: I don’t know. I don’t know if the district attorney’s office is gonna see it the same way.

Nick: Alright, fine. Don’t — if you don’t want to call the police, then call chance. He’s family. He’ll be able to tell us what to do next. Vick, if you don’t call him, I will.

Victoria: Okay. Okay, fine. I’ll — I’ll call chance.

Nick: Alright. I got to get some air. This is john.

Sharon: Large black coffee with an extra espresso.

Chance: Thank you. I’m gonna need this extra caffeine tonight. Odds are I’m working late.

Sharon: Oh, because of the winds?

Chance: Yeah. When the weather gets weird, you know, things tend to happen. Oh, my god. I’m — I’m — I’m very sorry. I didn’t mean it like that.

Sharon: No. It’s okay. You can say it. Rey’s accident happened on a night that was very foggy. Although the weather didn’t turn out to be the reason why it happened.

Chance: Well, the last thing I wanted to do is bring up bad memories, so I apologize.

Sharon: It’s alright. I was thinking about him tonight anyway. How could I not?

Chance: Yeah. He’s been on my mind, too.

Sharon: So, how are things out there? Very bad?

Chance: No, actually, not too bad. A couple fallen trees, no injuries, minimal property damage, so…

Sharon: Well, that’s a relief.

Chance: Yeah. I’m hoping it stays calm and I’m just paranoid for no reason.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Give me a minute, will you? Hey, victoria. What’s up?

Victoria: Something happened, uh, tonight at my house. It was an — it was an accident.

Chance: An accident? Is anybody hurt?

Victoria: Ashland.

Chance: Okay. Have you called an ambulance?

Victoria: No. N-no, that isn’t necessary. Um, I’d prefer to keep it in the family for now.

Chance: Okay, t-tell me more about what happened.

Victoria: Just come to the house.

Chance: Okay, I’ll be right there.

[ Wind whipping ]

Nick: [ Sighs, clears throat ]

Victoria: I called chance.

Nick: [ Clears throat ] Good.

Victoria: He should be here soon. Nicholas, why don’t you just come back inside? It’s — it’s really windy.

Nick: You know, I was just coming by to see if you were okay. I was banging on the door. You weren’t answering, so i thought maybe you were asleep. So, I was about to leave, but then something didn’t feel right, so I went around back and I entered through the back doors and then that’s when it happened. It was just so fast, you know? What did I do?

Victoria: Nicholas, you don’t have to go over it again. There’s no need for you to get more worked up than you already are.

Nick: No, I got to get this straight for when chance gets here. You know, I got to say it out loud and piece it together. He’d attacked you, you know, and he was coming after you again, so I… so I hit him, and then he fell down. I was just trying to stop him. Obviously, I didn’t want him to die.

Victoria: Of course you didn’t want him to die. It was an accident. He fell, and he hit his head. It’s as simple as that.

Nick: It doesn’t feel that simple.

Victoria: Nicholas, it’s gonna be okay. You need to calm down, and you need to think about what you’re gonna say to chance.

Nick: Yeah. I don’t want him, you know, to doubt me for any reason. You’re right.

Victoria: Just tell me what i can do.

Nick: Nothing. I just — I — I got to walk this off.

Victoria: Nicholas! Nick.

Diane: I want you to know I’m not taking this opportunity for granted. I realize what a gift kyle and summer have given me.

Jack: I know you do.

Diane: I-I never expected to have a job like this after only a few months back in town. It’s beyond what I could have hoped for. You know, to work with kyle and summer so closely — it really means a lot to me.

Jack: Well, I’m glad you appreciate the position you’re in.

Diane: And I realize that you could have stepped in and stopped them from hiring me. But you didn’T. And I appreciate that, too.

Jack: I wanted kyle to be his own man, to make his own decisions. Now I have to abide by that.

Diane: Well, despite all that, I’m sure it’s difficult for you to see kyle so readily accepting me.

Jack: It only proves that something was missing in his life. You coming back has filled that void.

Diane: All those years i missed. You know, all that time, you raised him alone.

Jack: Well, it wasn’t just me. The abbotts never do anything alone.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Still, you must have some resentment towards me.

Jack: I’ve learned a lot about resentment. It’s a waste of time and energy.

Diane: Well, I think you’ve shown remarkable restraint. And I thank you for that.

Jack: As long as you know it wasn’t for your benefit.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] I accept that. You want to know a secret?

Jack: I don’t know. Do I?

Diane: Well, in the interest of honesty, I think I should share it with you.

Jack: Go ahead.

Diane: It’s my hope that one day you and I will be in a place where…we can be friends.

[ Chuckles ] I’ve even made a bet with myself that I can pull it off. What do you think my odds are?

Jack: You don’t want to know.

[ Wind whipping ]

Victoria: Nick?

Nick: Hey.

Victoria: Are you — are you — are you calming down?

Nick: I’m just trying to sort things out. I can barely think.

Victoria: Look, just don’t worry about anything else. You saved my life tonight.

Nick: Did I?

Victoria: [ Sighs ] I saw the look in ashland’s eyes. He was gonna kill me. He was — he was just acting so strange. I didn’t know what he was gonna do, but I know he wanted me dead. He just kept talking about saying our last goodbyes and how he wished I had died in that car accident.

Nick: That’s sick. He’s sick. I’m sorry.

Victoria: I didn’t know what to do. I mean, before you got there, I was just looking for anything to fight him off with. I mean, he wasn’t — even the police, that wasn’t gonna slow him down. He — you did what you had to do to stop him, and I’m — I’m so grateful.

Nick: Look, I’m glad that i could be there for you. But I took a man’s life tonight. There’s no changing that.

Victoria: I know that. I know you did. But you were protecting me. You had my back. You had my back like you always have promised me. You — you kept your word. I promise you I’m gonna do everything that I can to help you.

Nick: I know. I know I can count on you. I know. Alright, we should get back to the house. We need to be there when chance arrives. Here’s to real flavors…

Diane: Aww. Thanks for letting me see harrison. Even to peek in on him while he’s sleeping brings me so much joy.

Jack: Our grandson can put a smile on your face even when he’s half asleep.

Diane: That’s the second time you’ve used that phrase.

Jack: What phrase?

Diane: “Our grandson.” I have to admit, it warms my heart when I hear it. There’s really nothing like it, is there?

No, there is not, nothing I’ve found.

Diane: I’m so glad I decided to reclaim my life here. You know, even if it ended tomorrow, just spending time with kyle and harrison has made it all worth it. Even though harrison still doesn’t know I’m his grandmother.

Jack: And that’s for kyle to decide when that happens, right?

Diane: Right. I’ve taken up enough of your time. You know, thanks, jack, for everything. Your advice was spot on, and it means a lot.

Jack: I’ll show you out. Well, looks like the wind let up a little bit. Maybe there’s no trouble tonight after all.

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Nikki: You know, I definitely think you’re onto something. Discrediting diane at her new job would be a very effective way to get rid of her.

Phyllis: Yeah, I know. We just need someone on the inside to help us out. It’s too bad that chelsea turned down that design gig. I mean, she could have helped us. She likes schemes, right?

Nikki: Yeah, but we need somebody who has an ax to grind with diane. That’s not chelsea.

Phyllis: No one in this town wants diane gone as much as we do.

Nikki: And that’s why it should be you. Can’t you tell summer that you’ve had a change of heart and you want to work at marchetti now?

Phyllis: No. I run this hotel. I can’t do that.

Nikki: Oh, well, how busy are you? I mean, this place seems to run itself.

Phyllis: Well, that’s not completely accurate. Maybe something can be done.

Nick: I don’t see chance’s car. He must not be here yet.

Victoria: I’m sure he’s on his way. Look, at least it’ll give you a little more time to figure out what you’re gonna say.

Nick: I’m just gonna say the truth. What else can I do?

[ Groans ]

[ Door closes ]

[ Banging ] The wind’s blowing it. I didn’t close them good enough.

[ Banging stops ]

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Nick: [ Sighs ] What the hell?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Grunting, breathing rapidly ]

[ Groans ] Felty… I heard a lot about you. It’s all been A… a big misunderstanding. Oh, we are

way beyond that. You’ve been exploiting sasha gilmore, a grieving mother, pushing drugs on her. She asked for them!

[ Groans ]

[ Coughs ] I didn’t want to do that. Listen to me. I don’t want you to talk. I just want you to listen. You offend me… and people who offend me, they tend to disappear. You understand? Good evening, darling. If memory serves, you like roses. Oh, yes. Thank you. I also like champagne. Good. Then I’m two for two. Please, sit. Thanks. To you — the most beautiful sight I have ever seen. I can’t do this. I’m sorry. I can’t — um… I don’t want to put up with this anymore. Put up with what? The dishonesty. Ava: I’m gonna need your help. Anything. First martini. Yes? Yes. Okay. I have every intention of ordering a second, but under no circumstances should I be ordering a third. So don’t let me, okay? No matter how much I insist I need it. Why would you need a third martini?

[ Sighs ] To numb the pain of how badly trina’s trial went today. Oh, no. What happened? Uh, father, ava? Hey, spencer. Would you mind if I join you? It’s important. Aah! Gee, you, uh… really don’t look well.

[ Breathing heavily ] What did you do to me?

[ Pounding on door ] Hey, oz, open up. Oz? Hi, you. Hey, baby. What’s this? It is a smoothie… mm-hmm? …Loaded with greens and antioxidants for immune support. Mmm! Thank you. Yes, of course. You’re welcome. But… I meant “what’s this?” As in, what are you doing here? I thought you’d be tied up at the da’s office until way late. Yeah, well… I needed a mental health break. It was that bad? Trina’s trial has just become a glaring example of how broken our legal system is. Thanks for coming. Well, you said you had major announcements, so I wasn’t gonna miss that. Tell me that you’ve got a plan to get your half of the hotel back. Oh, it’s way more important than the metro court. Whoa. I guess it is pretty major, huh? Well… hey, guys! You, uh, here for the big announcement, too? Uh, actually, we…

are the announcement.

[ Carly chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ] I’m pregnant. Get out of here! It’s a true story.

[ Laughs ] Well, it’s about damn time this family had some good news. Oh, congratulations! Oh, no! I-I’ll do anything! No, you’ve already done too much, felty. Come on, dex.

[ Thudding ]

[ Groaning ]

We’re going to bury your body so deep… no one’s ever going to be able to find you, felty.

[ Breathing rapidly ] Please…

[ Thudding ]

[ Groaning ]

[ Groaning stops ] You bastard. A bullet would be letting you off too easy. Josslyn: You are so busted. I just recorded the whole thing, and you’re going down. Oz, I need you to wake up. I have a few questions to ask you about a phone you sold a young lady. Someone’s future depends on it. Oz? Oz? Shoot, man. You’re not hammered.

[ Gasps ] Oz, what did you take? Hey. There you are. What are you on, man? Look, oz, I’m just here to help you. What’d you take? Uh, don’t know. She gave me something. She? Who? What’s her name?

[ Groans ] Oz? Come on. Stay with me. Oh… damn.

[ Exhales sharply ] Yeah. I’m going to need an ambulance here right away. Will esme be joining us as well? Esme doesn’t even know that I’m here. Well, in that case, have a seat. Although, be warned, it’s been a very long and very terrible day. So if a sparring match is what you’re after… it’s not. What about you? Are you okay that I’m here? Of course. What’s going on? I was actually looking for ava. What happened at trina’s trial? Please sit down. What is the point? Please don’t end this evening before it’s had a chance to start. Please. Thank you. I haven’t lied to you. No, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Omission?

[ Scoffs ] Okay. Okay. Sure. I’ve held things back — things that I wish I could tell you, but I just can’T. Things like where you were when you were supposed to be at the clinic. “Supposed to be”? I contacted them, which I can do, and I know that you left the clinic weeks before you came back here. Where were you? When I was first assigned trina’s case, I was conflicted. Yeah, I remember. Could I do my job without being biased, or should I recuse myself? And you went with option one. Yeah, well, I made a choice to trust in the system. The way the system is supposed to work, the prosecutor makes the strongest case they can based on the evidence, and the defense makes the strongest case they can for innocence or extenuating circumstances, and the jury, with proper instructions from the judge, makes the call. Clearly, you put a lot of thought into this. Yeah, well, joke’s on me, because it turns out that my role as prosecutor was never up to me. What do you mean? Ada arden pulled some strings, and now I’m loaded down with all of these other assignments. She’s effectively moved me off the case. So instead of asking you to recuse herself, she just… did it for you?

[ Sighs ] God, I just loathe all of these behind-the-scenes politics. Like, that’s why I busted my butt for a law degree? No! I did it to pursue justice. That must be insanely frustrating, and I’m so sorry, baby. Thank you. But can I say something selfish? Sure. I’m glad you are not the one arguing to put trina away. Yeah. You and I had many conversations, sometimes arguments, when I joined the da’s office. I remember those, too. About whether it was really possible to change the system from the inside. I’m starting to think you were right. I’m fighting a losing battle. What are you doing here, jocelyn? Well, I had a very hellacious day in court today, so I decided to go for a run to let off some steam. And then I saw you get out of your car, and I thought that, a, it was weird that you were alone and, b, you were going down some sketchy alleyway. So I decided to follow you. And as a precaution, I pulled out my phone, and good thing, because I saw you and mr. No-neck over here beating the pulp out of some guy and threatening to kill him and — and — and gonna bury him where nobody will ever find him, sonny. And I’m pretty sure that’s assault and premeditation, which will send you to prison for the rest of your life. So…my hellacious day just got a whole lot better. Congratulations, you guys! I’m so, so happy for you both. Thanks, drew. Sparkling cider for you. Oh, thank you. Telling you, that’s one lucky kid in there. You just can’t be born into a family more loving than this one. Well, if you’re referring to michael, willow and wiley, then absolutely. But some of the other distant relations can be a bit prickly. And if you’re referring to the quartermaines, I think “prickly” is a little too kind. I’d go with backstabbing, blackmailing, and a whole lot worse than that. Okay. Ned and tracy, maybe, but that doesn’t apply to you guys. And we’ve already established that you followed lila’s tradition. You guys are the good q’S. Even though my mistake cost you? Stop. Uh, it’s our — our mistake, actually. Which — which wasn’t merging the companies, by the way, or attempting to merge the companies. No, that was a sound business strategy. Our mistake was… trusting ned. Amen. Setbacks aren’t final. Amen again. I mean it, mom. We will not stop until we’ve reclaimed what you’ve lost.

You checked up on me? I’m not proud of it, but…

[ Sighs ] I kind of really wrestled with how to proceed. And then in the end, I decided to trust but…verify. That’s how you know I lied about my time at the clinic? You don’t know the whole story. Okay. Everything I did, I did for charlotte. What does she have to do with you leaving the clinic early? I, uh, I left the clinic for the same reason that we put charlotte in boarding school. I developed a severe staph infection that spread to my spine. And as you can imagine, it’s particularly sensitive after all the corrective surgery that I’ve had. The first clinic wasn’t equipped to handle such a severe infection… so I was moved to a second clinic where I underwent 30 days of intravenous antibiotics… and then extensive physical therapy. It was a long and winding road, but… I made it. Things went very badly for trina in court today. You might be happy to know that. Why would that make me happy? Oh, because you’re seemingly loyal to esme, and esme framed trina. Come on, ava. I think it’s clear by now that spencer doesn’t wish trina ill. Exactly the opposite. At the same time, he can’t simply write off esme. My son is…caught in a difficult situation. Where are you taking him? Uh, to general hospital. Alright. I’ll meet you there. Okay. We’ll take it from here, sir. Curtis: I, uh, just wanted to check out the apartment. That’s our job. This is now officially a crime scene.

[ Police radio chatter ]

[ Sighs ] Okay. Enough shoptalk, you guys. We’re here to celebrate our growing family. Yes! Ooh! There you go. Thank you, thank you. Okay, so I just want to say that when nelle told us she was pregnant, it was difficult to find the joy. But she gave us wiley, so we will forever be thankful. Yes. But I want you to know… you are kind, loving, and generous… and I’m so grateful that you and michael found each other. And I’m so excited for the family that you’re creating and — okay, it’s enough. It’s enough. I don’t wanna cry. I just want to say cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. To family! To family! Let me get in there! Come on, now.

[ Laughter ] Cheers, guys. Josslyn, I don’t think you understand what you walked in on.

[ Scoffs ] That’s fair. I’ll leave it up to the cops for interpretation. You don’t want to do that, joss. No, I can’t wait. Okay, I know you’re angry, and — and I don’t like how it ended with your mom. I regret that.

[ Scoffs ]

Now you regret it? I don’t — the pain that the family’s going through — no, no, sonny. The pain that you put us through. Yeah, but if you have me arrested, it’s not gonna just hurt me. It’s going to hurt everybody else, especially donna and avery. Those little girls need their father. Donna and avery needed their father for all of those months that you were gone. But you didn’t remember them or you — you couldn’t care to. Josslyn, I didn’t know who I was. You know that’s not — michael told me that when you were on the stand at nina’s ridiculous visitation hearing, that you stopped asking where you came from. Right. Because you… you didn’t want to know? You were having too much fun with nina to care about those little girls. They got by without you fine then, and they will get by without you now.

repeat in 2 minutes if his o2 sat is not above 90%. Got it. Let’s also get an I.V. Bolus, a toxicology panel, cmp, cbc, blood gases. Yes. Dr. Ashford. Curtis. Hey. Hey, molly. Is everything okay? Well, I’m checking on a guy the paramedics brought in — oz haggerty. Oh, god. Is he a friend? No, but he could be a pivotal witness to prove that trina was framed. Whatever else you may think of me, I really do care what happens to trina. Can you please just fill me in on the trial? Ava: Maybe talking about it will help. For starters, scott baldwin had some kind of family emergency, so trina is now being represented by diane miller. That almost sounds like good news, though, right? Diane’s badass.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Yes, she definitely can be. But unfortunately, the ada went on the offensive by calling both josslyn and cameron as witnesses for the prosecution. But joss and cam have been saying trina is innocent from the start. I was in no condition to parent charlotte, and so, reluctantly, I trusted victor to take her to boarding school. Why didn’t you ask laura or nina? They have a good relationship, don’t they? At the time, nina was preoccupied with the sonny corinthos situation, and laura had extensive mayoral and personal responsibilities. Okay. I mean, they sound like valid reasons if we were talking about anyone other than your daughter. I know that you would do anything for her. I would. And too many people know that, and that makes her a target. And so as much as I despise victor — and I do — I felt that he was the best equipped to protect her. From who? Enemies from my past on both sides of the law, which there are many. I was flat on my back in a hospital bed, and I was fearing for my daughter’s safety. Why didn’t you tell me what was going on?

[ Laughs ] I love you, mom. I love you, too. And you take care of that bundle of joy. I will. Okay. Alright. Text me when you get home. See you, guys! Bye! Aah!

[ Laughs ]

[ Both sigh ] So… so… I, uh… I guess I should get going, too. If you have to. I don’t have to do anything. You can say what you want. You can, you know, think what you want. But if you send me to prison… you think kristina’s gonna thank you? Dante? Donna? Avery? I notice that you left michael off that list. And what about when those little girls are old enough to — to understand what happened? They’re gonna — they’re gonna see their father in prison, and you did that? I love how you’re making this my fault. Like I forced you to beat up some guy in an alleyway. That was all you, just like sleeping with nina and trashing our family was all you. Okay. You know what? I’m not gonna — I’m not gonna sit here and try to tell you there’s always two sides to every story. Punishing me and punishing your siblings are two different things. And I think you can tell the difference. Dex: Wait. None of this was my idea. I had no choice. Explain, then. But keep your distance. And just so you know, I have pepper spray.

I understand what it’s like to be scared for your child’s safety, to know that at any point they could be made to pay the price for stupid decisions that you’ve made in the past. I went through that with robin, and I could have helped you if you’d told me what was going on. I know. I know that. Why didn’t you? Because I was helpless. I was flat on my back in a hospital bed, and then I was hobbling around on a walker. And I just don’t like it when you see me like that, because it… it takes me back to when we first met… and all you felt for me was pity. There’s a situation at cassadine industries. I need to make a call. I’ll be right back. I don’t get what could have gone wrong at the trial. Josslyn would never say anything against trina. Well, she didn’t need to. It’s just the more joss tried to defend trina, the more damage she did. What’s this about? I was hoping that you would be able to restore my internship at spring ridge, but while I was waiting for you, I… what? I realized how much this secret we’re keeping is weighing on me, and I just… I can’t keep going like this. I want to come clean. You don’t mean that. I do. I’m sick of the cover ups, the lies of omission. I want to tell ava and spence that we slept together. The paramedic said a bystander found the patient and called 911. That was you? Wasn’t exactly a bystander. I went looking for the guy. Oz haggerty is a bartender at the highsider,

and he also sells black market phones like the one that was planted in trina’s bag. Trina has maintained from day one that the incriminating phone was planted, and josslyn has been just as adamant that spencer’s girlfriend, esme prince, is responsible for the revenge porn and is framing trina. Could this oz id esme as having bought the phone? That’s the hope. But when I found him, he was too out of it to answer questions.

[ Alarms beeping ] Doctor, he’s coding. If you turn that footage over to the cops, it won’t just be sonny who gets arrested. I will be, too. Well, maybe you should have thought about that before going to work for a gangster. Everything okay? Sure thing, boss. Sonny slapped my hand. I promised to be good from now on. Right. Look, you coming to the quartermaine estate was out of line. My family is off limits. I’ve heard that one before. Do I look like I’m joking? No. It’s just ironic, considering you hired me to take down your father. Look, my work situation is… complicated. You helped attack a man, and you clubbed him unconscious and planned to kill him. You deserve what you get. No, we weren’t gonna kill him. At least, I didn’t think we were. As far as I knew, we were just supposed to scare him. So… would you like more champagne? Who am I to say no to that? Nice. Thank you. You’re welcome. To the new baby. Wow. Can you believe it? Yeah, I can. Yeah, I guess I can do.

[ Laughs ] Mmm. So… how are you doing? I’m great. I mean it. How are you doing? Really?

[ Sighs ] Okay, well… I bounce from fury to frustration all day long. Oh, that sounds fun. Doesn’t it? It sounds lots of fun.

[ Laughs ] Fury and frustration over nina? Yeah. And the fact that she now owns my hotel. Half your hotel. But you know what? I’m so grateful for everything that I still have. I am. So it sounds like you’re kind of all over the place, huh? Yes. I am all over the place. But michael’s right. It’s just a setback. And as someone who’s been down this road, I would know. Wow. And why aren’t you throwing me out the window right now? What? I’ve had some bad things happen to me in my life, but nothing compared to you. Oh, my god. You’re right. That was outrageously insensitive of you. Come on. What are you doing? I’m getting ready to throw you out the window.

[ Laughing ] Oh, come on! What are you talking about? Look. Look at me. No comparisons. Okay? My past is behind me. And, yeah, sometimes I let myself think about it, but only to realize just how good I have it now. I agree. Of course, um… …you know, things could always get a little better. Yeah? Any idea how? One or two.

[ Door opens ] Sonny: Carly! What the hell? You got to get your daughter under control.

Esme, you need to think about this. I have. It’s all I can think about. Telling ava and spencer about our…encounter, it’s only going to cause unnecessary pain. Okay. It’s not like we have any feelings for each other. It was a one-time moment of vulnerability. It is better by far to put this behind us. I just thought I knew where my life was going, you know? Internship at spring ridge, studying psych at pcu. And now it’s all up in the air, and I feel like the only way I can get a fresh start is if I get the truth out. Okay, I get that. You do? Yeah. If the internship at spring ridge makes you feel grounded, then I’ll get you reinstated. I mean, what if it’s already too late? I — I might have missed my window to use it to get into the psych program. Give me until tomorrow. I promise you will get everything you wanted. I knew you’d come through. Josslyn said in her testimony that trina would never buy black-market phone. And then the ada called officer cabrera to the stand, who said that trina tried to do just that. He said that about trina. Why? Because apparently, joss and trina, they went to find the man who they believe sold esme the phone, and they tried to buy one themselves in the process.

[ Sighs ] So it’s ironic, though, isn’t it? That trina, she tried to prove her innocence and ended up making herself look more guilty. We’re not the same people that we were when we met all those years ago. I’m not — I’m not an angry young woman anymore, and you’re not… a scarred hunchback? Oh, don’t do that. That’s just… well… that’s part of your transformation. You know, I don’t have any illusions about you, valentin. I know that you’ve done regrettable things. So have I. But I have seen you work to be better, to grow, to be more honest, to try to make amends. Do you know how bad I wish I could make amends?

[ Sighs ] God, this is just… it’s always just going to be like this. We’re never going to walk a straight line, are we? This whole process, it’s just gonna be a series of stops and starts. And it feels like two steps forward, two steps back sometimes. Are we ever going to learn to trust each other? Did I just break that trust by checking up on you? Why’d you do it? Honestly? Because ever since you’ve come back, you’ve been different, and I wanted to figure out why. I hope you’re okay with my mom’s little announcement get-together thing. What? Did you think I wouldn’t be? I don’t know. She just kinda threw it on us. No, I loved it. Yeah? Could drew’s reaction have been any sweeter?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. That was — that was great. I’m so happy you two are working together. Yeah. Well, it’s nice having someone in the trenches that I trust. And we’ll, uh, we’ll get aurora back in the black. I know you will. And your mom seems good. She’s moving on from the divorce… even from the loss of the hotel. Yeah, she seems freer. I mean, this is the strongest we’ve seen her in a long time. Does that change anything for you? What do you mean? Well, seeing your mom happy and moving forward, does that maybe leave some room for a little grace where sonny is concerned? Do you know brando corbin? Of course I do. He’s extended family. So this guy you think is so innocent, he’s been pushing drugs on brando’s wife. Okay, sonny was pissed and just wanted to make sure we scared him bad enough that he would leave sasha alone. Well, even if you’re telling the truth… I am. …There’s a chance that sonny wasn’t telling you the truth. I mean, he could have killed this man if I hadn’t shown up. And then what would you have done? Would you have stopped him? I don’t know. But I’m glad I wasn’t faced with that choice. This guy was pushing drugs on sasha, so I put the fear of god into this lowlife. And there’s — there’s josslyn. She’s filming the whole thing, and she’s gonna threaten to take the footage to the cops. Okay. What do you want me to do about it?

T.J.: I want him admitted to the icu. He’ll need to be monitored closely. Yes, doctor. Molly: Well? How’s he doing? I had to put him into a medically induced coma. His brain is swollen and it needs a chance to heal. When do you think he’ll wake up? I’ve requested a neuro consult, so once he’s been evaluated, we’ll know more. I also ordered a blood panel so we can see which drugs are in our system. You know, before he passed out, oz told me that a woman gave him something. Yeah. My guess is he was drugged on purpose to shut him up by none other than esme prince. Have you ever seen the two of them together? No, but I recently followed oz to spoon island. What the hell would oz be doing at spoon island if he weren’t meeting up with esme? It all fits. Yeah, well, there’s no way to prove it until oz regains consciousness. And trina is almost out of time.

[ Ringing ] General hospital? Yes. I, um, was notified that my father, oz haggerty, was brought into the er. Is he gonna be alright? Let me take down your information and I’ll have the attending call you. Please. I-I’m all the way in oregon. I can’t be there for hours. Can I just talk to him? I’m sorry. Your father’s been unconscious since he arrived. He is stable, though, and is being admitted to the icu. When will he wake up? You really need to speak to the neurologist. Neurologist? Is my father in a coma? I’ll take down that information whenever you’re ready. Sorry about that.

[ Sighs ] I hope your emergency wasn’t too dire. It’s a problem that requires immediate action, but it’s solvable. I really hope it goes better for trina tomorrow. Me too. But unless some miraculous witness drops from the sky to exonerate her, trina may very well lose everything. There’s a darkness in you… in your eyes. Ever since you came back, I don’t know. It’s like something is really bothering you. You hide it well… but it’s there. I love that you can read me like this. What’s going on? You’re right. There is something troubling me. But it’s no big mystery, and I don’t think it’s a thread that you and i should be pulling. Okay. I like you. And the closer we get… the more I know it’s gonna hurt when I lose you. Why are you going to lose me? A thousand reasons. But when you look at me like you are right now… …I don’t want to think about them. Let’s not think about… anything. Hey, I’m not advocating for you to reconcile with sonny, but maybe just… drop this vendetta against him. All this anger and hate, it’s not good for you, michael, and it could lead you to do something that you’ll regret. Oh, you want me to let it go? For your own sake, especially since it’s clear now that carly’s doing fine. Yeah, this isn’t about revenge. Isn’t it? Look, it’s about doing what’s right. And what’s right is for me and my — my family to just not have sonny in my life anymore. That will really make you happy? You know what? Look, you make me happy. Thinking about our future makes me happy. Us and wiley and the baby, you know that makes four? Maybe someday, I don’t know, five, six… oh, okay. Okay, slow down. The point is, is we got a lifetime of love ahead of us. You have an elevated white blood cell count. That’s it?

[ Exhales sharply ] I know from nurses training that it’s normal to have an elevated white blood cell count during pregnancy. And that’s true. Willow, from what I see, I don’T… I don’t think this is related to your pregnancy. I mean, how could you think of anything else? I can’T. If you turn that video over to the cops, sonny’s lawyer can maybe get him out of it, but not me. I will 100% be convicted. And not for nothing, but… it doesn’t feel like you took that video to uphold the law or prevent a crime. Feels like you did it to get back at your stepfather. And maybe sonny deserves it, but I don’t even know you. I’ve certainly never done anything to you. This could ruin my whole life. Please. Sonny’s ruined enough lives already. I don’t see a point in adding your name to the list. It’s gone. Thank you. I still think you’re an idiot to work for him. Noted. Guess we both got lucky tonight. Just call josslyn and have her delete the footage. She’s an adult. If josslyn witnesses a crime in progress and she chooses to report it, that’s her business. So if I get arrested, convicted and sent to prison, you think joss is going to feel good about that? You got to — you got to stop her now, carly. Isn’t it perfect how it works out what’s good for josslyn also allows you to get off scot free? Well, this is on you. You know that. How is this on me? Well, because you keep egging her on about me, and now she’s out of control. Oh, my god. Sonny, sonny, you should leave before this deteriorates any further. Are you telling me to leave out of my own house? It’s not your house anymore. Last time I checked, it’s not your house either. Unless you guys are moving in together. Enough. Enough. You don’t get to barge in my house and start barking orders. I will consider the situation and I will guide josslyn to do what’s best for her. And if it lands your ass in pentonville, then so be it. You don’t have to worry. They allow conjugal visits. You and nina should be just fine. I would pull back if I were you, because you already lost your hotel. There’s a lot more to lose.

[ Door slams ]

[ Sighs ] You okay? Yeah. I’m fantastic. I’ve got sonny right where I want him.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Kayla: [Scoffs] Was yesterday get out of jail free day?

[Scoffs] Have you seen this? Have you seen what our r neearn’s’sone? Did you see who he pardoned?

Steve: What, you don’t think sociopathic murderers deserve a second chance?

Kayla: Kristen dimera and orpheus have already had 327 chances.

Steve: [Sighs] Well, I really don’t think we should be joking about this, baby. Because you can bet the one thing kristen and orpheus share is an overwhelming thirst for revenge.

Nicole: [Inhales deeply] Good morning. I’m back. Where’s brady? Ugh. [Sputters] Okay, you know what? If I can haul my butt out of bed this morning and catch the first flight out of new york, uh, you’d think he could get here before 10:00.

Chloe: Nicole–

Nicole: ‘Cause it’s not like I don’t have good news or anything. Not only did I change schneider’s mind about pulling his business, I got him to double his order next quarter. We had a three-hour dinner at the soho house last night. It was great. You haven’t heard a word I said, have you?

Chloe: And obviously you haven’t heard the news.

Nicole: Well, I just told you. I’ve been on a plane since dawn, so what news?

Brady: Kristen called.

Chloe: What? What did she want? I’m sorry.

Brady: Same thing she always wants. She wants to see rachel.

Chloe: Mm. Well, I think we should make this a kristen-free evening. What do you say?

Brady: That’s a good idea.

Chloe: What do you want to watch?

Brady: Let’s just–

Chloe: Baseball or a movie?

Brady: I don’t care.

Chloe: Governor’s emergency press conference? Wonder what’s going on.

Mitchell: In addition, I am also issuing a full pardon to kristen dimera.

[Dramatic music]

Brady: Look. I want you to double the security at the inn, at my parents’ house, and the office. Then hire more guards, damn it. Just a–

Eric: Hey. Hey, whoa! Brady, it’s just me.

Brady: Sorry. Listen, just call me when everything’s in place, okay? All right. Sorry.

Eric: Yeah. You don’t really think kristen’s gonna come at you like that, do you?

Brady: Eric, I don’t know what she’s going to do, but I know that I’m not gonna get a hell of a lot of warning.

Jake: [Groaning and wincing]

Ava: Oh, oh. Oh, ooh, ooh.

Jake: Ugh, damn it. Oh!

Ava: Jake, another spasm? Hey, hey, hey–

Jake: [Groans] This happens every time I sleep on this air mattress. Every damn time.

Kristen: Oh, get over your tired self. Try sleeping on a cot in statesville.

Ava: She’s up.

Kristen: [Yawning] Oh, my god. [Inhales deeply] You woke me up in the middle of such a lovely dream.

[Sighs] And thanks to the enlightened governor, I’m gonna make those dreams come true.

[Sighing contentedly]

Jake: [Groaning sigh]

Kristen: Mmm.

Shin: Okay. You know I love you too.

[Soft tense music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Gabi: I hope you didn’t end that call on my account.

Shin: Oh, I’m sorry. Did I wake you? Some coffee?

Gabi: Sure. And then you can tell me who you were exchanging I love yous with.

Nicole: Pardoned? From the governor?

Chloe: That’s right.

Nicole: How the hell did she pull that off?

Chloe: [Sighs] I have no idea. Maybe she put on her governor mask and decided to hold a press conference.

Nicole: Oh, brady. Have you talked to him? Is he all right?

Brady: Look, I don’t– I don’t want to overreact.

Eric: I’m not sure it’s possible to overreact when it comes to kristen.

Brady: [Chuckles dryly]

Eric: Hey, what about rachel?

Brady: [Sighs]

Brady: Rachel. That’s what worries me the most.

Chloe: A couple of hours before we found out about the pardon, kristen had called brady from statesville asking if he would bring rachel there to visit her, and he said “no.” And then–

Nicole: Oh. And then?

Chloe: Well, she just kept pushing him, and so he just finally told her that rachel’s still in california with theresa and tate.

Nicole: Oh. So now kristen knows where rachel is.

Brady: So I talked to theresa. And she’s going to talk to shane about security just in case kristen plans on going down there, but that might not be the first thing on her agenda.

Eric: Do you think you know what that might be?

Brady: [Sighs] Eric, the only thing that I am sure about is that I never know what the hell kristen’s thinking.

Nicole: So is brady beefing up security?

Chloe: Yeah, that’s what he’s doing right now. But, you know, we could have all the security in the world.

Nicole: And it’s kristen. Mm-hmm. And after everything she’s done, I mean, if she could still get a full pardon, who knows what else she could get away with?

Brady: [Groans and yawns] Excuse me. Yeah, I didn’t get much sleep last night.

Eric: I can imagine.

Brady: I was up all night just waiting for kristen to walk through that door. Course, that’s not her style though. She would love the idea of me just waiting up, knowing she’s loose, and not knowing where she is. It’s a very special kind of hell.

Kristen: Mmm! My god, ava. This coffee is absolutely out of this world. Mmm! Really, I might never leave. And ava, sweetheart, thank you. Thank you for the loaner. It’s milano, right? Ooh, incomparabile. [Laughs] You don’t know how it feels compared to the prison-issue polyester blend. Jake, fratello, a splash more cream, per piacere.

[Kristen laughs] This is such an indulgence! Oh!

Jake: [Groans] Damn it.

Kristen: Oh, you know what? I’m sorry about your back. You know, you don’t have to get the cream. Ava can get it for me.

Jake: You’re such a peach.

Kristen: Hmm. I’ve had many people tell me that. And although I feel very bad about commandeering your bed, on the other hand–

Jake: On the other hand–

[Groans] Gabi and i both owe you for your vote the last dimera board meeting.

Kristen: Oh, gee. I’d forgotten all about that.

Jake: Yeah?

Kristen: [Laughs] As if.

Jake: Oh, so what? We’re even now?

Kristen: [Laughing] God. No, jake. Not even close. Uh-uh. Ava, sweetheart, you know what? You didn’t have to sleep on the floor. No, I mean, you were right next to me when I drifted off last night.

Ava: Yeah. Well, don’t take this the wrong way, but you’re the biggest cover hog that I’ve ever slept with.

Kristen: Oh. Well, that’s funny. No one else I have been in bed with has ever complained about that. Or anything else for that matter.

Jake: Or maybe they were scared. Kidding.

Kristen: [Soft, fake chuckle] You know what? As fabulous as this bed and the coffee and the company is, lounging around is not part of the agenda. Mm! I am going to stir up the pot around here and there and everywhere.

[Smooches]

Jake: Wow.

Kayla: You know, if orpheus on the loose, maybe we shouldn’t even be out in public.

Steve: No worries, sweetness. I’ve got my ear to the ground. I’m not about to be surprised.

Jada: Steve?

Steve: Jada? Hey, look at you. Oh! Why didn’t you tell me you were coming so soon?

Jada: It all happened so fast.

Steve: Kayla, this is jada hunter, marcus’ little girl all grown up.

Kayla: I really loved your dad, and he was a great doctor too.

Steve: A great man. My friend since the orphanage days. I still miss him.

Kayla: I was really sad to hear that he had passed away.

Jada: Thank you.

Steve: So when’s the interview?

Jada: Yesterday. I got the job.

Kayla: Oh!

Steve: That’s great. You know, I told you I recommended jada to rafe.

Kayla: That’s great.

Steve: When do you start?

Jada: Uh, yesterday. I hit the ground running. I didn’t even have time to call and thank you.

Steve: Rafe’s got you working already?

Jada: Yeah. He actually assigned me to your niece’s case.

Kayla: Oh.

Jada: As a matter of fact, you were my next call. Moderate to severe eczema still disrupts my skin.

Kayla: You were coming to see me? Why?

Jada: Sarah horton was brought in yesterday to answer some questions.

Kayla: Sarah? Why?

Jada: I can’t go into too much detail. I had questioned her about where she was the night of abigail dimera’s murder.

Steve: What reason would you have to question sarah?

Jada: I really can’t get into it. But I’m more concerned about her medical condition, her hallucinations.

Kayla: You don’t think that sarah–

Jada: I don’t “think” anything. I’m just trying to understand the situation, and in order to do that, I’m going to need to access dr. Horton’s medical records.

Kayla: I can’t just hand them over. I mean, there is such a thing as medical privacy.

Jada: And exceptions for law enforcement is also a thing.

Steve: I have an idea. Why don’t we talk this out at the pub over breakfast? My treat.

Eric: Listen, I get that you’re upset and how worried you are, but kristen is rachel’s mom, so maybe all she wants is contact.

Brady: [Scoffing] Yeah. That’s what kristen said on the phone yesterday.

Eric: Wait, wait, wait. You–you spoke to her?

Brady: Before I knew about the pardon. She wanted me to bring rachel to statesville to come visit her. Thank god that rachel’s in california. Gave me the perfect excuse not to do it. I don’t want rachel to have to go through a prison visit.

Eric: Yeah, but then–

Brady: Well, now that kristen’s out, I can’t stop her from going to california. Hell, I can’t even tell my daughter that she can’t see her mom.

Eric: Right.

Brady: I just–I need to find a way to control how and when she sees her.

Eric: Well, I’d get justin started on that as soon as possible.

Brady: Yeah, yeah. Well, it really bu–it really bugs me the way this whole thing started though.

Eric: Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. Started?

Brady: When she got caught, I thought it was just because she got careless, because she was so desperate to see rachel. But eric, she got caught almost as soon as she got into town. Which makes me think, “did she plan that?” Right? And then, right–and now I sound paranoid, right?

Eric: Again, you are talking about kristen.

Brady: I just have a very, very bad feeling about all this.

[Soft dramatic music]

Kristen: Oh! Whoo! Well. [Laughs] That night on the air mattress really took it out of you.

Jake: What was your first clue?

Kristen: Uh, you know what? I’m gonna make it up to you. You’re gonna stay home, you’re gonna rest up in your little hovel, and i will make your excuses to gabi when I see her in the office.

Jake: Ah, you’re gonna go collect on that favor, huh?

Kristen: Yeah. I’m a quid pro quo kinda gal.

Jake: Okay. Just a heads up, gabi and shin aren’t gonna be as willing to give up their bed as we were.

Kristen: Mm. Well, I’m aiming a bit higher than a sleepover.

Jake: What’s that mean?

Kristen: Oh, my god. Think about it, jake.

[Chuckles] You know what? You’re my brother. You’re family. Gabi, blessedly, she means nothing to me. That makes my vote for her a sizable favor, and I think a sizable thank-you is in order.

Jake: So what exactly do you want from her, huh? Huh?

Kristen: Mm! Grr. [Laughs] Calm down, hmm? Don’t go all caveman about your little girlfriend.

Ava: Ex-girlfriend.

Kristen: Of course. Whatever you say.

Ava: I say “ex-girlfriend.”

Kristen: Fine, whatever. Anyway, I’m sure gabi is gonna be thrilled to see me and be ready to do whatever it takes to get me back on my feet. And I’m sure she remembers all the support that she got when she was released from prison. Mmm. Mm-mm-mm. Hmm? Oh! I’m just giving her the chance to pay it forward. Ciao!

[Door slams]

Jake: Well, that was fun.

Ava: Yeah, no. No, that was not fun.

Jake: [Groans] Ooh, hmm. Well, I’ll go take a shower. Long, long hot shower. See if I can unknot this thing, huh?

Ava: Mm.

Jake: Hey, ava? You think I should call gabi, warn her?

Ava: Jake, if she reads the paper, she already knows that kristen’s coming.

Jake: Yeah. You’re right.

[Sighs] My god. What a morning.

Shin: Is that a hint of jealousy I hear in your voice? Maybe I should be flattered. But don’t worry. I was just talking to my mother.

Gabi: Your mother?

Shin: [Laughs] You sound surprised. I do have one, you know.

Gabi: Well, we’ve been dating for over a month now and this is the first time I hear of her.

Shin: Hmm. Well, that might be because my father has such a huge presence. He tends to dominate any conversation has to do with my parents. Should I call her back? Would that convince you?

Gabi: [Scoffs] Great. Then you’ll resent me for not trusting you. If you’re genuine, that is.

Shin: Sounds like a standoff.

Gabi: No, no. I was just–well, I realize that a month in, I might not know you as well as I thought.

Shin: Hmm. A little mystery is a good thing. Keeps it interesting.

Gabi: So you whispering sweet nothing into another woman’s ear while I sleep is interesting? Hmm. Meanwhile, I’m an open book.

Shin: Says the woman who has an unusually close working relationship with her most recent ex.

Gabi: Jake? Oh, please.

[Scoffs]

Shin: In the beginning, he was put off that we were together, but no longer. Maybe he knows something that I don’T.

Gabi: He doesn’t care. He’s with ava now.

Shin: Does that bother you?

Gabi: [Chuckles and sighs] Let me show you how little that bothers me.

[Light music]

My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis…

Nicole: Just remember, whatever kristen tries to pull, brady loves you. He knows what that lunatic is all about.

Chloe: Yeah, I know, I know. You’re right. I do trust brady. It’s just that the two of them have this weird bond.

Nicole: Tell me about it. Ugh.

Chloe: It’s like she still has this hold over him, even when he knew that she was bad for him. I think that maybe, like, she’s still kind of under his skin.

[Sighs] But I guess you know what I’m talking about, right? Sometimes when you’ve both moved on, but you still have this pull to another person.

Nicole: Yeah, quite a pull. And it worked out great for us.

Chloe: Oh, you’re talking about rafe.

Nicole: Of course I’m talking about rafe. Who else would I be talking– oh, come on. Not you too.

[Sighs]

Eric: Been working really hard for those tips. It’s not really fair to just take it away like that, is it?

Greg: How do you know I wasn’t leaving a tip?

Eric: Because you were taking money out of it and not putting money in. Listen, we know what’s going on here, and it doesn’t have to be this bad.

Greg: Calling the cops?

Eric: Whoa, whoa. Hey, hey. Just hear me out. If you’re in a situation, if you need money, there’s people out there who can help. I can help. Let me just give you my card.

Greg: Shove your help, man!

Eric: Hey.

Steve: Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa. Dude! What did we miss?

Ava: Don’t be an idiot. Do not be an idiot.

Jake: What’d I miss? Why are you suddenly an idiot?

Ava: That was a private conversation.

Jake: All right. Well, what is it you don’t want me to know?

Ava: That I– that–okay, I’m trying really, really hard not to be the same jealous idiot that I was that screwed up my last relationships.

Jake: Huh. You’re jealous?

Ava: I’m trying not to be.

Jake: Okay, I’ll bite. You’re jealous of who? Come on, not gabi.

Ava: Okay, listen. I know I sound crazy, but when kristen called her your girlfriend, you did not contradict her.

Jake: You beat me to it.

Ava: Yeah, I know, I know. But then you wanted to call her and warn her that kristen was coming. I’m sorry, but that got under my skin.

[Chuckles] And the irony of all of this is the reason I went after you in the first place was to get under her skin. And now I think I’m falling for you, jake. Look, I didn’t plan it… but there it is. I just don’t want to set myself up for disappointment if you’re still in love with gabi.

Gabi: I think I made us a little late this morning, but it’s definitely worth it.

Shin: Gabi, there’s something you should know.

Gabi: What?

Kristen: Morning, sleepyheads. Your mission: Stand up to moderate

Jada: Who was that guy? Everything okay here?

Eric: Yeah, yeah. Everything is fine. Just a misunderstanding.

Jada: Have you got cctvs? I can track him down.

Eric: Um–

Brady: You could? I’m sorry. Who are you?

Jada: I–

Steve: This is jada hunter. Her dad was one of my oldest friends. She’s the newest member of the salem pd. Jada, this is brady black and eric brady.

Jada: So the brady pub is your place?

Eric: Ah, it’s my dad’S. Yeah.

Brady: It’s nice to meet you. Look, I gotta go. I got to make sure chloe’s okay.

Eric: Yeah, yeah.

Brady: Heard about the pardons? What the hell was he thinking?

Jada: Mm-hm.

Steve: I don’t know.

Kayla: Gabi heard about the pardons. Kristen and orpheus and the homicidal son.

Steve: It’s like the governor released a plague of locusts on us.

Gabi: What the hell?

Shin: As I was saying–

Gabi: Did you break out of statesville?

Kristen: No.

Gabi: Oh, you’re going right back. How stupid are you? You should hightail it to the border when you had the chance.

Shin: Gabi, wait.

Kristen: He’s trying to stop you from going off half-cocked and making a fool of yourself.

Shin: She was pardoned.

Gabi: What? Pardoned? They have enough on you to throw away the key.

Shin: The governor pardoned her yesterday.

Kristen: Ah. Kinda gives you faith in the political system, doesn’t it?

Gabi: Why would he do that? What did you–[Gasps] Did you– did you put one of his family members in your dungeon?

Kristen: Shh! Shh.

[Exhales deeply] We’re not going to talk about me, we are going to talk about business and how I can help you clean up the mess that you made of it.

Gabi: [Sighs]

Jake: You think I’m still in love with gabi?

Ava: I don’t know. But I do know that I have been second choice a couple of times, and I do not want to go down that road again. You know, with steve, it was always kayla hovering around, even when she wasn’t there. Rafe and nicole was the same thing. Deep down, I always knew. Ava vitali, also-ran. Consolation prize.

Jake: And you think that’s what you are to me?

Ava: I’m asking you if I am.

Jake: [Sighs] All right. When you said before that you got into this whole thing with me because you wanted to stick it to gabi, right? And if I’m being honest, it was the same for me. Probably not the best way to start a relationship, but… but I’m not steve. I’m not rafe. And you want to know the truth about me and gabi? I was an also-ran too.

Nicole: [Scoffs] Yet here I am, trying to tell you how happy rafe and I are, and you go there.

Chloe: I didn’t say that you don’t love rafe, but come on. You and eric?

Nicole: Okay, okay.

Chloe: All along, the both of you–

Nicole: You know what? I’ve already heard this from allie. What is it that I have to do, huh? Take out a billboard so everyone gets the message? Eric being here is irrelevant, collar or no collar. I am a happily married woman.

Brady: Chloe, you okay?

Chloe: Hey, yeah.

Brady: You’re okay. Okay.

Chloe: Oh, any news?

Brady: No. All is quiet on the western front so far.

Nicole: Hmm. Look how that turned out.

Brady: [Sighs] You’re back.

Nicole: Yes, and given what’s going on, maybe I should’ve stayed in new york.

Brady: [Sighs] Pool floaties are like whooping cough.

Kayla: So bo and roman are both my brothers.

Jada: Your father?

Kayla: Yeah, and they’re both cops. And shawn is bo’s son, and he’s a cop too. And this place has always been known as where the cops hang out as long as anybody can remember, right?

Eric: Yeah. You’ll feel pretty much at home.

Jada: You know, I’ve been here once before. I had a run-in with your dad’s short-order cook.

Eric: Clyde.

Steve: Oh, yeah. He’s a real charmer, isn’t he?

[All chuckle] Right at home in the hospitality industry.

Eric: My father believes in second chances.

Kayla: So how many miles did you run today?

Eric: None. I was on my way and I bumped into brady.

Jada: You’re a runner? Me too.

Eric: Really?

Jada: Mm-hmm.

Eric: Well, yeah. There’s some great trails that wind through the park and, well, if you ever have any time, let me know. I’ll show you.

Jada: Thanks. I will.

Eric: Yeah.

Jada: So what do you do? Sorry, I didn’t mean to pry.

Eric: No, no. You’re not prying. It’s just that, um–

Kayla: Um, he’s sort of between things.

Jada: Hmm.

Eric: That’s the brady irish american way of saying I used to be a priest. Now, I’m just trying to figure out what to do next.

Jada: Oh.

[Chuckles softly]

Nicole: I’m just kidding about the whole new york thing. Brady, you know that I have your back.

Brady: I know you have my back. I’m just worried about rachel. I mean, I was talking to eric this morning and–

Nicole: Oh, you saw eric?

Brady: Yeah, he was tearing out of the pub and headed for his morning run, and I was just–I was so on edge, I– I mean, I almost tackled him.

Nicole: Yeah, okay. Well, I’m sure you want to check in with theresa, and I’ll give you some privacy. I have an errand to run.

Brady: Hey, if you hear anything–

Nicole: Yeah?

Brady: About kristen–

Nicole: I’ll let you know. Bye.

Brady: Bye.

Chloe: Bye.

Brady: [Snaps fingers]

Chloe: [Sighs]

Brady: Are you okay?

Chloe: Well, now that you’re here, I am.

Kristen: Hmm.

[Sighs] You need to redo these projections.

Gabi: Why?

Kristen: Because they don’t account for inflation, and because… I told you to. I’d like you to remember why your name is on that door.

Gabi: I will never forget that it was you that made it happen, and I’m very, very grateful for that.

Kristen: Oh, as you should be, because if it wasn’t for me, you’d be out on the streets. You are intimately familiar with the bylaws, aren’t you? Now, correct me if I’m wrong. It’d be fairly easy to push gabi out, wouldn’t it? And all it would take would be another vote, one with slightly different results.

Jake: Look. Gabi had already found the one before I came into the picture. My twin brother stefan, okay? And the truth is, they’d still be together if he wasn’t dead. But that doesn’t mean that she didn’t love me and vice versa. But in the end, it was amazing how quickly, what we had, how it fell apart. Because we were all passion, all heat, nothing underneath. No foundation. So yeah, bottom line, we didn’t trust each other. And it hurt at the time, badly, but I realized that I wasn’t the love of her life, and she wasn’t mine. So if you’re asking if I’m still pining over gabi, I’m not. I’m over her. I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Ava: So you’re over gabi?

Jake: [Sighs] Yeah. Even her pawing all over shin doesn’t bother me that much. I got something better to think about. Wait a minute. Did you say you’re falling for me?

Ava: No, I–

Jake: Did I–

Ava: I-I-I think I said, “I think.”

Jake: Oh, you “think”?

Ava: Think I’m falling for you.

Jake: Okay. Well, I think that I’m falling for you. Scratch that. I know I am.

Ava: Yeah?

Jake: Yeah.

Ava: How?

Jake: [Scoffs] You want me to count the ways?

Ava: Mm-hmm.

Jake: All right, all right. I sit there at work and I stare at the clock counting down the time till I get to see you again. You know I got a speeding ticket the other day? Wasn’t paying attention. I just kept driving faster and faster the closer I got to home, to you.

Ava: Mm. I stare at the clock too, like a stupid little teenage girl just waiting for the phone to ring.

Jake: Hmm. Well… most people… they can’t see past that tough exterior you put up.

[Chuckles] But I? I see right through it. I see the woman who says what she means, means what she says. I’ve seen the real you. A woman who looks at you in a way like you’re looking at me right now. It makes you feel like you’ve won the damn lottery.

[Soft dramatic music]

Gabi: She can do that? She can force another round of votes?

[Chuckles] All right. Well, you want my job? Okay. Since you’re asking li about the bylaws, why don’t you also ask him what your chances are of getting voted to take my place? Because the odds are zero! Ej will never go for it and neither will chad.

Kristen: You’re right. They’d rather torch the place than hand it over to me, but that doesn’t mean I can’t throw all things dimera into utter chaos.

Gabi: [Scoffs]

Kristen: Gabi, sweetheart, we got off to a tense start, hmm? I am happy to have you in charge. I come in peace only to cash in on a favor.

Gabi: So you don’t want my job? But you do want something, something that’s in my power to grant you.

Kristen: You are so perceptive.

Gabi: All right. I have two questions for you. What exactly is it that you want, and am I going to end up in prison for giving it to you?

Eric: It was nice meeting you, ms. Jada.

Jada: Have a good run.

Eric: I will. I’m sure you two are going to be showing her around town?

Steve: Well, we offered, but she’s too busy with work.

Jada: Yeah, which hasn’t made it easy to find a place. I mean, the salem inn is nice, but it’s not sustainable on a cop’s salary.

Eric: What? My dad, he rents rooms upstairs that are pretty reasonable, I mean, if you can get past your issues with the cook.

Jada: Oh, thanks. I’ll keep that in mind. And maybe I’ll see you on a run.

Eric: [Chuckles] Sounds good.

Greg: Your purse, lady! Now! My a1c stayed here,

Ava: I don’t know why we’re here. I mean, kristen finally left. We have the place to ourselves.

Jake: Yes, but this is where the jewelry store is.

Ava: What do you want with the jewelry store?

Jake: They sell rings there, don’t they?

Ava: Rings?

Jake: [Sighs] Ava… I don’t like that you feel that I’m not serious about this relationship, and I really don’t want you feeling like an also-ran, because you’re not. I already told you gabi… is not the love of my life, and gwen certainly wasn’t either, but… maybe you could be. Maybe you are.

Ava: You’re saying you want to marry me?

Gabi: [Sighs] Well, that was something.

Shin: It could’ve been a lot worse.

Gabi: I had to give in what she wanted, but at least she’s someone else’s headache now.

Brady: So there’s no sign of her out there, right? Okay, good. Listen, theresa, please don’t say anything to rachel until I know exactly what kristen is planning.

Kristen: Well, that won’t be a long wait. So…who’s gonna get their new boss some coffee?

Jada: I should get going. About earlier, I know you’re loyal to your patient– your friend, and I’m not trying to make things tense. I just really want to see justice done for your niece.

Kayla: Right.

Steve: Good luck today.

Jada: You think I’m gonna need it?

Steve: A salem cop needs luck every day of the year.

Nicole: You stay back. I have mace.

Greg: If you did, you would’ve hauled it out by now. I’m not telling you twice. Your purse.

Nicole: Eric!

Eric: Hey, let’s all take a breath.

Greg: You just back off!

Eric: Hey, hey. Nobody wants– nobody wants any trouble. This doesn’t have to end badly.

Nicole: [Yelps]

Eric: Whoa, whoa.

Nicole: Oh, oh!

Greg: I said back off, and I meant it.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Finn: My mother is dead because of you!

Sheila: Need to calm down. No, you’ve, you’ve got to stay there.

Finn: No! What I have to do is what somebody should’ve done to you a long time ago.

Sheila: You need to get back in bed because you are not strong enou–

Finn: –Shut up! I’m leaving! I’m going back to my wife and son but not before I make you pay for what you have done to us, to my mother, the woman that you killed!

Bill: Here’s some more water. You’ve gotta be hungry. Is that why you were in the alley behind the restaurant? Were– were you looking for food? Look, I– I know that I’m a– I’m a total stranger but I– I’m really just trying to help you. You’re obviously traumatized. A little bit beat up. I– I wish you would let me take you to a hospital. Oh. Okay. Okay. Okay, okay. No. No hospital. Will ya– will you please just drink some more water? I… don’t want you to get dehydrated. Please. That’s it. That’S… there you go. There you go. Good. You think you’re ready to tell me your name? Do you remember my name? I’m bill. I told ya I have three sons? Two of ’em are grown and, one is off at boarding school. His– his name is, is will. I like to think that he’s a chip off the old block. He’s– he’s actually a lot smarter than I am. I think someday he’ll take over for me, you know, be a– be a titan of business. Or who knows? Maybe a world renowned doctor or something.

[Li gasps]

Bill: What? What? What? What? What– what is it? Tell me. Tell me. You can talk to me.

[Phone chimes]

Liam: Thank you so much. And that is hope letting me know beth and douglas are down for the count. Actually, I think she beat my best time. Look at that.

Wyatt: I don’t know how you guys do it, man. Work, parenthood, all the other things you guys got going on. It’s exhausting.

Liam: Yeah, well, yeah, it’s just teamwork. You know, it’s teamwork based on love and, and respect. I’m sorry, but weren’t– weren’t you and dad, like, just here?

Wyatt: Yeah. No, I’m– I’m not eating. Uh, but I really wanted you to see this place because even you would think their fish tacos are out of this world.

Liam: Wow. Really?

Wyatt: Yeah. Um, so uh, how you holding up?

Liam: Holding up?

Wyatt: Steffy and finn. Everything that happened with them. Um, I– I know you worry about her.

Liam: Yeah, I do. Um, especially now, given what I just learned.

Bill: What is it? You– you’re trying to tell me something? Well, whatever it is, if you do have a son, do you want me to contact him? Does he know what happened to you?

[Wyatt clears throat]

Wyatt: A depression rehab center?

Liam: Yeah. In monaco. I mean… ridge said that they brought the nanny but I’m still, I’m still concerned.

Wyatt: I thought steffy was doing okay.

Liam: Yeah, well, we all did, ’cause that’s steffy. You know, she wants everyone to think everything is just fine. She doesn’t want anybody to worry. But, um, you know, at some point, she must have realized it was– it was getting to be too much for her and she needed help.

Wyatt: I guess we all know who to blame for this.

Sheila: I told you, li’s death was an accident.

Finn: Oh, just like shooting me was an accident.

Sheila: Yes.

Liam: Nah, you wanted to kill steffy, the mother of my son, the love of my life. You know, it’s you who should be dead, not my real mother. Someone should’ve put a bullet in your head that night. But since they didn’t it’s up to me to take matters into my own hands to make sure justice is served, sheila! Oh!

Sheila: It’s okay. It’s okay.

[Thud]

[Grunting] Age-related macular degeneration may lead to severe vision loss.

Wyatt: Thanks.

Liam: Thank you.

Wyatt: So you think the cops are any closer to catching sheila or no?

[Liam sighs]

Liam: I don’t know– oh, actually, uh, there is one interesting development.

Wyatt: What? They have a credit card charge or did they spot her?

Liam: Oh, no– well, no, nothing cool like that. But there– but there is uh, some new information about the guy who helped sheila escape. Apparently, it– it wasn’t just some random guard. This guy was, like, sheila’s accomplice back in the day.

Wyatt: Really?

Liam: Yeah. Guy’s name is uh, mike guthrie. And, and ridge and brooke knew who he was. They remembered his connection to sheila, like, years ago. And, in fact, they went with baker to question the guy. And then he, you know, denied everything.

Wyatt: Oh, of course. Of course he did. Sure.

Liam: Yeah. I mean, and unfortunately, baker says that, that I guess all– all the evidence is circumstantial so he can’t do anything unless there’s some kind of, like, cctv footage or, or a witness. So there, like, he can’t– there has to be hard evidence. So until then–

Wyatt: He just gets off scot-free.

Liam: Uh, apparently, for now.

Wyatt: And sheila is just still out there, as dangerous as ever?

Liam: If not more.

[Beeping]

Sheila: Why can’t you just let me love you? Take care of you. Why do you have to lash out the way that you– you do. I’m your mother. I just want to love you.

[Banging]

Mike: It’s me! Open up.

Mike: Sheila!

Sheila: I’ve been trying to reach you and you haven’t been answering your cell phone.

Mike: I was questioned by the cops. Ridge and brooke were there, too.

Sheila: What?

Mike: They’re on to me, sheila. I am right in their cross hairs.

Sheila: And you decided to just come straight here? What were you thinking?

Bill: A little something here for you to eat. Okay. Ah, that’s good. Great.

[Knocking] Uh, it– it’s okay. It’s– it’s a doctor friend of mine. You didn’t want to go to the hospital. But you do need some medical attention. It’s okay.

Dr. Armstrong: Hello, bill.

Bill: Hey jordan. Thanks for coming by. Uh, hope I didn’t take you away from anything too important.

Dr. Armstrong: Nah. Just another fundraiser. Did me a favor.

Bill: Well, now you’re doin’ me a favor. This uh, this is the woman I talked to you about.

Dr. Armstrong: Hi. I’m dr. Jordan armstrong. Bill and I go way back. May I? Bill is really concerned about you. Can you tell me what happened? Well, I do see some cuts, abrasions. Did you injure yourself in some kind of an accident?

[Li grunting]

Li: Back off you crazy bitch!

Oh!

– Bedtime!! – Bedtime.

Sheila: How dare you come back here? Do you know the jeopardy that you have put me in?

Mike: No one followed me. I made sure.

Sheila: Right. You’re sure.

Mike: Don’t take that tone with me. I am doing you a favor alerting you to what’s goin’ on here.

Sheila: Do you realize the risk that you’ve just put me in?

Mike: Okay, fine. It was a risk. That doesn’t change the fact that the walls are closing in on both of us. We have gotta act quick if we’re gonna save ourselves.

Liam: You’re not wrong, this place has a good vibe.

Wyatt: Ah! See? I told you.

[Liam laughs]

Liam: Did dad agree? How was dinner with the old man, by the way? Did he spring for the check or did he make you pay? I feel like he made you pay.

Wyatt: He paid, he paid.

Liam: Okay.

Wyatt: Uh, actually, between you and me, I’m a little concerned about him. Well, he was gettin’ all… philosophical and compassionate and– that! I know! That’s not dad, right?

Liam: No.

Wyatt: I just, I don’t know. I– I’m worried about him living up in that big house all by himself.

Dr. Armstrong: I know we keep asking you this. But can you tell us how this happened? Okay. You rest. I’m going to talk with bill for a moment.

Bill: What do you think?

Jordan: She’s definitely been traumatized.

Bill: Well. I figured that out for myself, jordan. What– what I’m asking is, do you think she’s gonna be all right?

Dr. Armstrong: Physically? Yes. She doesn’t appear to have any broken bones or internal injuries. Although I’d rather get her to the hospital, run some tests and be certain.

Bill: It’s not gonna happen. She– she won’t go. That’s why I asked you to come here. What else?

Dr. Armstrong: Well, I did find some tiny shards of glass in her hair.

Bill: Really?

Dr. Armstrong: Like, pieces of a broken windshield?

Bill: So a car accident?

Dr. Armstrong: Well, again, I can’t be certain. But her cuts and abrasions, they’re consistent with that. Yes. At any rate, whatever happened to this woman, it must’ve been one hell of an ordeal. So much so that she’s completely shutting down.

Bill: And that’s why she won’t talk.

Dr. Armstrong: It’s my guess. Now, you said that she didn’t have any id on her, at all?

Bill: No, nothing. And when i gently questioned her about family, I got nothing. Except when I brought up a son, and then she was somewhat responsive.

Dr. Armstrong: Hm. Well, my friend, I commend you for helping this woman. Who knows what might have happened to her if you hadn’T.

Bill: Listen, she– she was so vulnerable and scared, huddled in that alley. I mean, who wouldn’t feel for someone like that? I just wish I knew what her story was ’cause I’m telling you this is not it. This is not who this woman is. Now I can only get so much out of her. I can only push so hard. I wish she would tell me her name. I wish I knew who you are. Hi, I’m denise.

[Alarm blaring]

Mike: We’ve got no time to lose. Any minute now. Do you hear that?

[Siren wails in distance]

Sheila: Hear what?

Mike: That noise outside. It’s a siren.

Sheila: You’re imagining things.

Mike: No. I just heard a siren now.

Sheila: Would you get a grip? You’re not helping the situation.

Mike: You wanna know what’s not helping? You, sheila. Thinkin’ this can go on. Holed up here playin’ doting, loving mama to the, the, the bed ridden, back from the dead son who just so happens to hate your guts.

Sheila: Finn does not hate me.

Mike: Oh, yeah? Well, maybe I’ll ask him. Okay? Finn–

Sheila: No, no, he’s resting mike. Stop.

Mike: Seems to be a little more than just resting. Did you– finn. Ya harpooned him with another syringe, didn’t you?

Sheila: I had to give him another sedative. I had to. I– he knows the truth about li, that she’s dead. He was very upset–

Mike: Whoa, whoa. Back up. Only way finn could’ve learned that is from you.

Sheila: I felt finn deserved to know the truth. So I told him– I told him how I chased li in my car and she lost control and you know the rest.

[Mike scoffs]

Mike: More importantly, so does finn now.

Sheila: I have never seen my baby more enraged. I needed– I needed to do something to calm him down, didn’t I?

Mike: Jeez-louise, sheila. This whole situation is getting way out of hand. You gotta see that.

Sheila: Okay, things aren’t going the way that I had planned but we’re just gonna make the best of it.

Mike: Well, maybe you will, but when the cops come bustin’ through that door, I’m not gonna be here. No freakin’ way does this guy wind up in the slammer.

Sheila: Don’t you dare bring the police to my doorstep, michael. I swear, I–

[Door slams]

Finn: The police are on to you, sheila. It’s only a matter of time before you’re caught. You’re finally going to pay for everything that you’ve done to me, steffy and my mother.

[Phone ringing]

Bill: Uh, it’s– it’s my son. I– I need to take this.

[Phone ringing] Hey, liam, what’s– what’s goin’ on?

Liam: Hey, yourself. Good time to talk?

Bill: No, actually, it’s, it’s not. I have someone here.

Liam: Oh, yeah. Who? Dad… everything okay?

Bill: Well, you– you know that wyatt and I, we– we had dinner earlier. Right?

Liam: Yeah, no, I know. I’m– I’m here with wyatt right now. Say, ‘hi.’

Wyatt: Hey, hey, dad. Are you all right? Yeah, I’m– I’m fine. But the woman I found in the alley after you and i had dinner isn’T.

Wyatt & liam: What?

Bill: Tried to help her, but she really wasn’t responsive.

Wyatt: Well, did you call an ambulance?

Bill: She refused to go to the hospital. Liam: Okay– well then, what– what did you do?

Bill: Um… well, i brought her home with me.

Liam: So is it– that’s who you’re with right now? The woman from the alley?

Bill: Yeah. Uh, i called a doctor friend of mine. I wanted him to examine her. Look, it’s clear that she has been through something extremely traumatic.

>>Wyatt: Okay…

Liam: You were not kidding.

Wyatt: Yeah.

Liam: Um, okay. Yeah. Uh, you know, just um, uh, be careful. You never know what you’re getting into.

Bill: Yeah. Don’t– don’t worry about it. I’m fine. Anyway, enough about that. I want you to tell me about steffy. How’s she doing?

Liam: Oh, uh yeah. Well, I’ll– I’ll spare you the details now but um, she’s uh– [Mouths “steffy”] She’s– she’s struggling.

Bill: Well, of course she’s struggling, liam. She lost finn. He was everything to her. She loved finn so much. Um, listen guys. I– I gotta go. What– what is it? What– what’s upsetting you? Let– let me help you.

Li: You’re a fighter.

Keep fighting.

Bill: Is it your family? Is there someone you love? Is… is it your son?

Finn: You will never

lose me.

Bill: If it’s your son, you– you just have to tell me something about him. Where– where is he? Is he– is he worried about you? Does he have any idea what happened? I– I will bring him to you.

[Li struggles to talk]

Bill: You have to tell me who he is. What is your son’s name?

Li: In…

In this survival of the sneakiest, the players will compete in a series of grueling and mind-twisting challenges, from retrieving game pieces suspended on high wires over a 500-foot canyon, to scaling the face of a cliff to solve puzzles.

After overnighting in the remote and rugged Central American jungle, the group will meet in ‘the Snake Pit’ where they must determine who they think the saboteur might be. If the three players can successfully reveal the identity, they will win the $100,000. If they get it wrong, the Snake walks away with all the money for themselves.

[ Knock on door ]

Vick?

[ Knock on door ] Victoria, it’s billy.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Hey. Come in.

Billy: Hey. Thank you. I, uh, hope it’s not a bad time.

Victoria: What are you doing here?

Billy: Well, I went by your office, and your — your mother said I could find you here.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] What can I do for you?

Billy: I, uh — I just wanted to fill you in. I have to go out of town for work, to los angeles with billy, and so I’m not gonna be able to pick up the kids at camp. Just wanted to make sure that’s not a problem for you.

Victoria: Well, duty calls. If you’re gone, you’re gone.

Billy: You okay? You seem a little tense.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Chloe: Hey, there.

Sally: Hi. Thank you for rearranging your evening to meet with me.

Chloe: No problem. So, is this about the job offer?

Sally: So, I have been given the go-ahead to bring you on as coo. But I need to be upfront with you about the situation you’re gonna be walking into.

Chloe: Transparency is good.

Sally: Okay, here’s the deal. Nick and victoria agreed to keep me on for a trial period of three months, at which point they will assess my performance. Which means that you, too, will be coming on, on a trial basis. So there’s no guarantees. Nothing is set.

Chloe: So, the pressure is on?

Sally: If you are not okay with being hired under these terms, I totally understand.

Chloe: Just to be clear, this isn’t you saying you’d rather I didn’t accept the original offer, that you would rather take on someone more palatable to victoria and nick, someone with more experience, a heavy hitter?

Sally: No, that is exactly what the newmans assumed that I would do. But you and I work really well together. I think we just click, and I trust you implicitly.

Chloe: I agree.

Sally: And I have absolute faith in your ability to rise to the occasion and learn the business in record time, which is exactly what I told them. So they said that I could choose my own right hand. So if you still want the job and you’re okay with living in the gray area —

Chloe: I am more than okay with it. Really?

Chloe: Really.

Sally: Hallelujah.

[ Chuckles ]

Chloe: I appreciate the offer and I accept the challenge.

Sally: Well, it will definitely be that.

Chloe: And for the record, I don’t just want this job because chelsea decided to end our partnership. It’s not about becoming unemployed. Well, only to the extent that I wouldn’t have been available otherwise.

Sally: Yeah, and I’m glad that you were. And now you’re taken. So welcome aboard, chloe.

Chloe: Ooh! Thank you. And I plan to work my tail off to get this right.

Sally: I know. That’s why I hired you.

Chloe: Well, I — I also have to live up to the standard that you’ve set. Clearly, you have made an impact at newman media, or victoria never would have kept you on, given that you’re involved with the former ceo, one of her least-favorite humans.

Noah: I wanted to wait until you were a little bit more settled at newman before I brought this up. Mom and allie, they kept saying that I should be honest with you. And it’s been weighing on me.

Nick: [ Chuckling ] Okay. Starting to worry me a little bit.

Noah: It’s — it’s not gonna be an easy thing to discuss with you, but [Sighs] Here it goes. First off, I need you to know that this decision has nothing to do with you and everything to do with what I want. Which if you would have asked me a month ago, I wouldn’t even be able to articulate to you, because I hadn’t figured it out yet.

Nick: Okay. Go on.

Noah: I’ve kept trying on different versions of myself and — and taking stabs at different career paths, hoping something would feel right and something would give my life direction, give it meaning. I think I finally found what that thing is.

Nick: I’m pretty sure I know where this is heading. You want out of new hope?

Noah: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: I just have a lot on my mind.

Billy: I’m sure you do. I heard ashland is back in town.

Victoria: Oh. He’s the least of my worries.

Billy: Well, still, he’s got no reason to be here. I mean, why’s he still hanging around?

Victoria: I imagine that it has to do with harrison.

Billy: I mean, he can’t honestly think that that door is still open. He lied to his son about having cancer. He let kyle take him to milan to raise him. He’s got a restraining order out against them.

Victoria: Which he violated today.

Billy: Are you kidding me? Did he get caught?

Victoria: The police arrested him in the middle of chancellor park. And from what I understand, ashland has already made bail.

Billy: Figures.

Victoria: Hopefully, he’ll — he’ll figure out that there’s nothing tying him here and he’ll leave.

[ Slam in wind ]

[ Sighing ] Ughh!

Noah: I love the work new hope does, and I have been proud to work alongside you and see that vision through. But — but, dad, it’s your vision. And I’m still happy to support the organization in any way that I can. But my heart’s just not in running at full-time.

Nick: Where is your heart?

Noah: I think when you hear what I have planned next, it’s gonna…surprise you.

Nick: Alright, well, I’m interested. How long have you been thinking about making a change?

Noah: Since around the time mariah and tessa got married. And putting together that whole unique experience for them, kind of art-directing it all, it — it felt good. It felt right.

Nick: Yeah, um, [Chuckles] I guess I thought that was kind of like a — you know, like a one-off thing — you know, this quirky, fun-loving couple tying the knot. And you just kinda —

Noah: No, I’m not talking about being a wedding planner, if that’s what you were thinking.

Nick: Okay, okay. Uh, alright, then, uh, what are you talking about?

Noah: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Billy: You okay?

Victoria: Yeah, I-I’m fine. I-I’m sorry. I know, I jumped a mile.

Billy: It’s alright. You know, this old place. It cracks and pops when the wind blows. You remember how scared the kids used to get?

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Yes, I do. Now they just make a game out of it.

Billy: Yeah. “What monster made that sound?” Is the, uh, the grumpy goblin — is that still the winner?

Victoria: Well, now that katie’s in her sci-fi phase, she likes to speculate about an alien who’s taken up residence in the attic.

Billy: I do not believe that she is reading sci-fi. Seems like yesterday we were teaching her the alphabet.

Victoria: I sort of wish that we could just stop time — you know? — And keep them at this age where they’re old enough to not need us to hold their hand anymore, but they’re young enough to just be innocent and get excited about everything.

Billy: I hear you. Although it’s nice to see the world through their innocent eyes. Cuts through the cynicism. Helps you see the bright side a little bit, doesn’t it?

Victoria: That’s true. It’s one of the many things that I’m looking forward to about them coming home again.

Billy: You know, vick, now that you mention that, I’m a little concerned about ashland being in town. I mean, he’s got no reason to set foot in genoa city.

Victoria: I agree.

Billy: And I’m sure getting handcuffed and thrown in the back of a car pissed him off. You got to wonder about his headspace.

Victoria: You know, I have no clue what’s going on in ashland’s head. And honestly, I don’t care.

Billy: Well, I do, vick. And honestly, I’m a little worried about you being home alone, especially with the kids coming back here. I mean, I don’t want them in the middle of all this.

Victoria: You’re making too much of this, billy.

Billy: Am I really?

Victoria: Yes, because if ashland is gonna be mad at anyone, it’s gonna be the abbotts. They’re the ones who had him arrested. And if anything arises, I’m sure that I can handle the situation. As you well know, my father has a security detail watching out for me.

Billy: Okay, well, for once, I’m grateful.

Victoria: Me too.

[ Sighs ] So you don’t have to worry about me. Now, let’s get back to your original question. I would honestly be happy to pick up the kids from camp on my own. Truly. I mean, if you need to go out of town for business, it’s fine. I can handle it. I’m actually looking forward to spending some time with them on my own.

Billy: What about work?

Victoria: Oh, it’s not an issue. Now that mom and nick are part of the executive team, it’s easier for me to step away from the office. So go ahead, please. Go to california with lily. And rest easy. Billy, seriously, I’m fine. You have nothing to worry about. But I do have a lot of work to do, so please just go.

Billy: Okay. I’ll let you get to it.

Victoria: Have a good evening. Safe travels.

Billy: Thank you.

Victoria: Alright.

[ Winds continues blowing ]

[ Sighs ]

Adam: Thank you.

Sally: Will you give me a minute? Order some drinks, and we’ll celebrate.

Chloe: Sure.

Sally: Adam, wait.% Don’t be a coward and run away from this. Talk to me. Please.

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Sally: Did you get my voicemail?

Adam: Sally…

Sally: Did you get my voicemail?

Adam: Look, let’s not do this again, okay? I don’t get any pleasure out of being cruel to you.

Sally: I want an answer. Are you destroying what we had to give me a chance to keep my job at newman media? Did you think, by breaking things off, victoria would have an easier time accepting me?

Adam: Were you not listening to me? This has nothing to do with victoria and it has nothing to do with your career.

Sally: I don’t want to be ceo under these circumstances. Not if it means losing you. So, in spite of your past and the person that you used to be, I’m not buying this, adam. I refuse to believe that you could just so easily shut off your feelings for me and throw it all away. Hi, I’m nancy.

Adam: I thought that I made it clear why I ended things. You were a liability. You were standing between me and everything that I want. Okay? My father’s approval — another chance for me to prove myself. And that’s something that’s never gonna happen if I am tied to you or — or newman enterprises. And honestly, sally, that’s what you should be focused on right now, is trying to prove yourself, not chasing after a man who doesn’t love you.

Sally: I refuse to believe that.

Adam: Well, suit yourself. Okay? I was a little surprised that victoria decided to let you stay, even though you do deserve it. So you need to make the most of this. It’s over, sally. Just accept it and stop wasting time — yours and mine.

Sally: [ Sniffles ]

Adam: Just do what you need to do to make the most of your life and what you deserve. Okay? That’s what I’m doing.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Chelsea: Everything alright?

Adam: We’re done here.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Noah: I want to turn the top of the tower into an art-inspired nightclub — a lounge, bar, something in that realm.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Wow. That is the last thing I was expecting to hear. But keep going.

Noah: I want to make a space where people can come and feel inspired. You know, they could come and they could have fun and relax and socialize. I could take my experience and knowledge from working at the underground and managing the top of the tower with all the things I learned while being in the london art culture. I could take my passion for art, video, photography, transforming spaces and — and just make something new and make something people can actually be excited about. So, what do you think?

Nick: Um, have you run this by your grandfather?

Noah: No. I wanted to talk to you first. I still need to sell grandpa on the idea that a nightclub would be more profitable for newman tower than some upscale restaurant, which means running the numbers, putting together a solid business plan to see the vision through.

Nick: Yeah, you’re definitely gonna need that.

Noah: And, dad, I promise I’m not gonna leave you or new hope in the lurch. I’m gonna honor my commitment. I’ll stay on until we find a replacement that you’re satisfied with. I know that you got to be disappointed. You thought that I was gonna step in at new hope while you took care of things at newman, and — and I hate that I’m letting you down.

Nick: No. Are you serious? You can never do that with me. Ever. And after hearing your pitch, I’m anything but disappointed.

Noah: [ Chuckles ] Seriously?

Nick: Yeah! I’m serious. I love seeing you like this. This is my guy right here. Look at you. Your eyes are all lit up. You’re animated. You’re excited about something. I can’t tell you the last time you were excited about something.

Noah: Thank you. I mean, if I’m telling the truth, it feels good.

Nick: It should. It’s an inspired idea. And this town has nothing like it.

Noah: That’s the dream.

Nick: Well, go out there and make it a reality, alright? I believe in you. You can do this. You have my support, and I love you. So bring it in. Come on, man.

Noah: Aww. [ Chuckles ]

Nick: I’m proud of you.

Noah: Thank you.

[ Wind blowing ]

[ Slam ]

[ Pen rolls ]

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Breathing heavily ] Truth is… I’ve never really known how to care for my hardwood floors.

Sally: Shall we toast to our new arrangement?

Chloe: Yeah, in — inn a minute. Um, what just happened with you and adam? Things seem pretty tense back there.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Adam and I are no longer together.

Chloe: Oh, I — I didn’t realize that.

Sally: Yeah, well, few people know.

[ Sighs ] But if you are about to say how happy and relieved you are, for my sake…

Chloe: Are you okay?

Sally: What I am is single-minded about my work and about the future at the helm of newman media. So a toast to saying yes when opportunity knocks, and the pair of us kicking ass and taking names together.

Chloe: Hear, hear.

Chloe: Um, I’m — I’m — I’m sorry, but, um… did adam expect you to walk away from the ceo gig in solidarity? Is that what came between you?

Sally: [ Chuckles ] Really doesn’t matter. What’s done is done. Let’s just move on, ’cause the clock is ticking. Our every move and decision is gonna be under victoria’s microscope, so we really need to start strategizing.

Chloe: I doubt that it’s gonna be as easy for you as you’re making it sound. I know how invested you were in that relationship.

Sally: Well, I refuse to let my personal problems make me lose this job, too.

Chloe: Good. Hold on to that. Because adam has a bad habit of keeping women in his orbit, making them feel like they have something special. Like you were the only one who truly understands him.

Sally: Thank you for that.

Chloe: I know that I have sounded like a broken record since you two started dating, but this is why. I knew it was gonna end badly. It always does. I have seen it happen multiple times, and it is infuriating to watch him treat people like this. You stay mired in that toxic mix, and adam will cost you everything. Don’t let him. Don’t give him that power. You are in this position because of who you are, because of your amazing talent and drive. So if adam says it’s over, let it be over. You have bigger fish to fry.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Chelsea: Oh! I can’t believe the way adam treated you just now. I feel terrible for you.

Noah: Whew. That’s a relief. I was — I was kinda worried about telling you.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] You know, how many career changes I’ve had? It would take a lot of nerve of me to be judging you right now.

Noah: Let’s just say I was prepared for this conversation to go in a very different way.

Nick: Listen, I can’t lie to you. I was really excited of, uh, the possibility of you continuing my work at new hope. But, son, what is far more important to me is that you’re happy, and if this is what it takes, then so be it. I hope you know that you will always have my support, no matter what. You know that, right?

Noah: Yeah. Yeah, it’s like someone reminded me, that this is probably how you’d react, to give me the guts to talk to you.

Nick: Well, that’s a smart person. You should keep them around.

Noah: Speaking of allie, I should probably go home and get changed. We got a date tonight?

Nick: Ooh. Alright. Well, keep me posted on the progress of your nightclub.

Noah: I will.

Nick: And you know I have an endless amount of fatherly advice on pretty much every topic, so I’m here.

Noah: Okay, okay. Good to know.

Nick: Have a good time tonight.

Noah: That’s the easy part. Hey, billy, how’s it going? Good to see you.

Billy: Good to see you, too. How you doing?

Nick: I’m good. No offense. I got to go.

Billy: Alright, well, I’ll cut to the chase and just tell you why I’m glad I ran into you.

Nick: Alright. Shoot.

Billy: Victoria? Is she okay?

Nick: In what sense?

Billy: She’s on edge, nick, and she’s covering it up.

Nick: I haven’t noticed anything like that.

Billy: Okay, well, I know ashland’s back in town, and he got arrested for violating his restraining order. And I also know what he’s capable of, and I’m pretty sure you do, too.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] What — what the hell are you doing out there?

Ashland: I was debating whether to even make my presence known.

Victoria: As opposed to what? Hiding out in the bushes and spying on me. What’s wrong with you?

Ashland: I just wanted to see you one last time.

Victoria: You shouldn’t be here right now. Maybe I should call the police. Do I need a restraining order against you?

Ashland: I’m sorry, okay? I didn’t mean to scare you. But after everything we’ve shared, I just…

[ Sighs ] I don’t know how to say goodbye.

Victoria: [ Sighing ] Ughh!

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Sally: I appreciate your concern, but chloe and I are in a meeting.

Chloe: Yeah, we can just catch up later?

Chelsea: What kind of meeting? What’s going on?

Sally: Chloe and I are working together.

Chelsea: Um, I know I — i put you in a jam, forcing you to find a new partner on such short notice.

Sally: Try “no notice.”

Chelsea: But I lined up an incredible designer from new york to take over for me and continue on at fenmore’S.

Chloe: Yeah, I heard about that, but —

Chelsea: Even if you didn’t hit it off with him, you’re gonna — you’re gonna have sally to join you? Come on, chloe, anybody but her. And I don’t understand how lauren would be on board with this.

Sally: Okay, I think you misunderstood. It’s the other way around.

Chelsea: You’ve lost me.

Sally: You see, chelsea, I’m still the ceo of newman media, so I’m bringing chloe on as my coo. Deal’s done. We’re just hammering out the details of her offer before we get down to work.

Chelsea: When I heard victoria was in charge again, I thought that meant adam was head of new media.

Sally: Well, he is not interested. He’s moving on… from everything.

Chelsea: Including you, apparently. Wow. That lasted about as long as I expected it to.

Nick: Billy, don’t lose any sleep over victoria, alright? Just stay out of it.

Billy: Wow. Congratulations. You’ve been back working on your father’s company for five minutes, and you already sound like the old man. Telling me not to worry about victoria. That’s not gonna happen, nick, for two reasons. One, she’s the mother of my children. And second of all, I have damn good reason to worry about her right now.

Nick: Well, you have this compulsion to play white knight to a woman who, frankly, has gotten over you years ago.

Billy: Look, I was just with victoria. I know her. She’s covering up how upset she is that that snake is slithering around. And he’s got to be desperate if he’s reckless enough to disobey a court order.

Nick: He’s an entitled jerk who thinks rules are for other people. There’s no surprise there.

Billy: Nick, what are you doing here? Okay, we’re talking about victoria’s safety. Ashland was put in handcuffs and thrown in the back of a car. You don’t think he’s gonna want to retaliate?

Nick: Against kyle, maybe. He’s the one with the restraining order.

Billy: Oh, that’s a very logical way of thinking about this. Unfortunately, there’s nothing logical about the way ashland thinks.

Nick: Look, billy, I appreciate your concern. I really do. But we’re done with this.

Billy: You know, it wasn’t that long ago we were on the same side, trying to show victoria the man that she was about to marry. We want the same thing here. Now, I’m about to go out of town with lily for work. I can stick around to keep an eye on victoria, if that would make it better.

Nick: You do not need to do that, because there’s nothing for you to do. I am not gonna let ashland hurt victoria. That is my promise to you. Now, go on your trip. Give my best to lily.

Billy: Go check on your sister. Make sure she’s okay.

[ Footsteps departing ]

Nick: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Okay, fine. I-I’ll hear you out,% but only if you agree to finally leave me alone after this.

Ashland: Thank you.

[ Door lock clicks ] It’s so hard to see you like this. So wary. But it’s hard to stay away, too. Don’t you feel the same way? Isn’t there some part of you, after everything we’ve shared? The happiest days of my life. Yours, too. You told me so. Do you really look at me right now and feel that it’s all over between us?

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Victoria: It’s over. It’s been over. It’s past time for you to accept that.

Ashland: Your father. Your family. They’ve turned you against me.

Victoria: This is he talking, telling you there is nothing left between us. After new york, I thought you’d be certain about that. But you don’t like to lose.

Ashland: Don’t do that.

Victoria: Ashland —

Ashland: I will not be dismissed! With depression, you just feel…blah.

[ Music plays ]

[ Wind blowing ]

Noah: Whoo! That wind came up out of nowhere.

Allie: Yeah, reminds me of santa anas.

Noah: Good thing they put those barriers up around the deck.

Allie: So… how much longer do I have to wait?

Noah: For me to get us drinks?

Allie: No, silly, for you to tell me how the conversation went with your dad. How’d it go?

Noah: It was great.

Allie: Really?

Noah: Yeah.

Allie: Oh, I’m so happy for you, noah. And did he love the whole art-themed lounge?

Noah: Yeah, yeah, he sure did, but he said he was most excited that I was fired up about something again. He just wants to see me happy. So you were right.

Allie: Oh, wait, I’m sorry, i didn’t hear that. What did you say?

Noah: You were right.

Allie: Um, no, try again.

[ Laughs ] I’m so glad that everything worked out. Now time to celebrate.

[ Chuckles ]

Sally: First, you dump chloe with no warning, because of your own bizarre reason.

Chelsea: Is that what she told you? Because our partnership wasn’t working for her either. You made that very clear.

Sally: So, in other words, you screwed up, and chloe called you out on it.

Chloe: I completely understand that chelsea needed to do that for herself. You were feeling very overwhelmed.

Sally: And yet you can’t show her the same grace and understanding?? You can’t be happy that your dearest friend landed in such a good place without missing a beat.

Chloe: And it is. It’s — it’s a good place.

Chelsea: Really? Really? You like working with sally that much?

Chloe: We’re a good team.

Chelsea: So, you’ll replace me with her, of all people?

Chloe: It’s not like that.

Chelsea: I should have known you would do this, when you hired her to work for the fashion platform without even asking me.

Chloe: Because you weren’t even working at the company. I mean, you weren’t even in the same town.

Chelsea: Look how the tables have turned. She used to be your subordinate. Now she’s your boss. Do you see how manipulative she is?

Sally: Okay, you know what? I’m really sorry that your life is so empty and miserable that you have nothing better to do than spread your poison. But nobody at this table cares. So why don’t you just go spew it somewhere else?

Chelsea: You know what? I hate to disappoint you, but my life is going great right now. I’m also embarking on an exciting, new partnership. So good luck with the job adam gave you because you were sleeping with him at the time. At least he left you with something.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Ashland: Your trust in me has been shaken to the core.

Victoria: Not shaken. Destroyed.

Ashland: You think I’m still the ruthless man I used to be? Okay, fine, I admit it. I never cared about anything I did in my past. I never felt remorse for anything I ever did. I knew I should, but I didn’T.

Victoria: Finally. Finally, you admit that your contrition was just all an act?

Ashland: Yeah.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ]

Ashland: It was, at first, but then you changed me, victoria! God, I’ve said this to you a hundred times! Your love, our marriage — it made me want to be a better person! And then you just took all of that away from me! And now I really am that lost man that you and your father have accused me of being all along. You were my whole heart and my soul.

[ Sighs ] And now they’ve — they’ve both been ripped away from me.

Victoria: I’m not gonna take the blame for that. You’ve brought this all on yourself.

Ashland: I feel pain because of you! Because you made me feel again! Don’t you understand that?! Because I believed you when you told me you would always love me, no matter what.

Victoria: Because you wanted to believe it. You wanted to believe that I would forgive and forget all of your monumental lies. That I would just forgive them and go on and — and love you as if nothing had ever happened.

Ashland: You just cannot accept the fact that something important has changed inside of me, can you? Oh, no, wait. Maybe it’s that you see the change, but you don’t care.

Victoria: Well, what really is the point? It’s over. There’s nothing left to talk about. There’s absolutely nothing left for you to fight for.

Ashland: And nothing left to lose. For people who are a little intense about hydration.

Allie: Alright, alright. You were right, too.

Noah: I’m usually right. So, what exactly was I right about this time?

Allie: This place is pretty chill at night.

Noah: Yeah, it’s a lot more mellow during the day.

Allie: Mellow is overrated.

Noah: Do you want to dance?

Allie: I thought you’d never ask.

[ Upbeat music plays ]

[ Slow music plays ]

Noah: I have a confession to make.

Allie: Oh?

Noah: I can’t stop thinking about our kiss.

Allie: I have a confession to make, too.

Noah: Oh?

Sally: What an utter witch.

Chloe: She has for moments.

Sally: What do you think is going on between her and billy?

Chloe: Oh, they’re just working together. Something about a podcast.

Sally: Okay, well, that’s just weird.

Chloe: Yeah, it did seem like a hard left turn. Something that I know nothing about. But, um, you know, if that’s what she needs to do to finish healing, then I wish her the best.

Sally: You are so generous towards her, even though she screwed you over.

Chloe: Well, you know, we might still be on the outs, but I do care about her. Anyway, you and I have more important things to think about, like proving to victoria that she couldn’t find a better team to run newman media.

Sally: Well, when you’re right, you’re right.

Chelsea: [ Laughing ] Oh, we’re definitely not doing a podcast on that. That’s for sure.

Billy: Well, you never know.

Chelsea: Alright. Whatever you say, boss.

Billy: Alright, enough with the “boss.” We’ve talked about this. We are partners. Let’s try and remember that.

Chelsea: Whatever you say, partner.

Billy: That sounds better. Um, I e-mailed you a few ideas for the podcast. I’d like to go over them when I get back. I got to go out of town for work.

Chelsea: Oh. How long will you be gone?

Billy: A few days. Depends on how well the meetings go. Maybe more.

Chelsea: Well, I look forward to hearing your ideas. I will have plenty of feedback for you when you get home.

Billy: Yeah, that — that, I am sure of.

Chelsea: Yeah.

[ Chuckles ]

Sally: I wonder what lily thinks of this new partnership.

Chloe: Yeah, I wouldn’t know. And frankly, it’s none of my business. So, uh, when can I start?

Sally: Uh, right. Yes. Sorry. Focus. Um, your first date can be tomorrow if it works for you.

Chloe: Sounds great. I’ll see you bright and early, hit the ground running.

Sally: That’s the spirit.

Chelsea: [ Laughing ]

Billy: I told you.

Chelsea: I believe it. Absolutely. I saw with my own eyes.

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Chelsea: Mm-hmm.

Victoria: This conversation is over. I gave you your chance, and now I-I just want you to leave.

Ashland: I’m not finished.

Victoria: I didn’t have to let you in, but I did. Okay? I heard you out.

Ashland: And now I’m dismissed.

Victoria: There’s absolutely no reason to go around and around about this. Whatever you thought would happen when you came here, whatever fantasies you had about how this was gonna go, it didn’t happen, and I don’t want to hear any more. I just want you to leave my home. I want you to leave town. Do you understand what I’m saying?

Ashland: No, no. You want me gone because you can’t face up to what you did, to the sacrifices you made when you gave up on us.

Victoria: Stop it. You can’t manipulate me anymore. I stopped giving a damn about you the day that I realized who you were.

Ashland: And who am I?! Victoria, who am I to you?! Worthless? Pathetic? Something who could just toss aside, like so much trash? No, no. There’s only one way that you’re gonna be done with me. I see that now. Only one way… to end this.

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

[ Wind blowing ]

Nick: Vick, you in there?!

[ Wind continues blowing ]

Next week on “the young and the restless”…

Chance: An accident? Is anybody hurt?

Summer: How much of this sudden interest in working in marchetti has to do with the fact that kyle just hired diane?

Victoria: That’s my security detail. They check in with me every 15 minutes, and if I don’t answer it, they’re gonna be here in a hurry.

Ashland: Well, then… we’re gonna have to make this quick.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Baby crying]

Shawn: Sorry, he’s–you know, he’s a little fussy.

Belle: Oh, no, no need to apologize, I remember when claire was that age. She was up like three or four times a night for the first year. I hope that won’t be the case with shawn christian.

Shawn: Yeah, well, we’re gonna see, I guess. I mean, last time, he only woke up once.

Belle: Oh, well, that’s good. I didn’t have a chance to tell you before, but I’m really gladyou got to bring him home.

Shawn: So am I. Look, thank you. Thank you for coming over.

Belle: Yeah, no problem. What did you want to talk about?

Shawn: I wanted to apologize.

Evan: Dad, the governor’s press conference just ended. It’s official. We’ve been granted pardons.

Orpheus: No thanks to you.

Evan: Look, I know I shouldn’t have told kristen dimera our plan, but it all turned out okay in the end, right? We’re all three getting out of here.

Orpheus: Barely, the governor was none too pleased by kristen’s special requests. That woman nearly tanked the entire deal.

Gwen: What happened to you?

Kristen: [Chuckles] I used the concrete wall as a punching bag. I don’t recommend it.

Gwen: Duly noted. Guess you’re having a bad day.

Kristen: Mm, I was, I was. But things are starting to look up.

Xander: Don’t worry, maggie. It’ll all be straightened out. Sarah will be just fine. I promise. Listen, I’ve got to go. I’ll keep you posted. Oi, commissioner! You need to let sarah out of here immediately. This is all terribly unfair.

Rafe: Oh, calm down, xander. We just need to ask her a few questions, that’s all.

Xander: Oh, and that couldn’t wait until after we finished our wedding? Your newbie detective came crashing in right in the middle of our ceremony and treated my bride like a common criminal. And my god, as if sarah would even ever say a harsh word to her cousin abigail, let alone murder her.

Rafe: Well, right now, sarah is just a person of interest. That’s all.

Xander: Whatever you want to call it, rafe, she shouldn’t be talking to the cops without a lawyer.

Rafe: Well, she insisted she didn’t need one. That decision is hers to make.

Xander: I just hope she doesn’t end up regretting that decision.

Jada: As I told you earlier, an eyewitness placed you at the scene of the dimera estate the night abigail dimera was killed.

Sarah: I know that you couldn’t tell me earlier, but now it’s just the two of us, can you tell me who the witness was?

Jada: It was lucas horton.

Sarah: I see.

Jada: But before we get into the night in question, I wanted to ask you something that you mentioned at your mother’s house.

Sarah: Yeah, sure. I’m happy to cooperate.

Jada: Great, you mentioned you’re on medication. For what?

Sarah: To help control the aftereffects of another drug that I was given.

Jada: And what are these aftereffects?

Sarah: Hallucinations.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Ava: I love you too, sweetheart. And I miss you so much. You too, bye.

Jake: That your secret lover?

Ava: No, dummy, it was my son.

Jake: Uh-huh.

Ava: You know I’ve only got eyes for you.

Jake: Mmm.

Ava: Mm-hmm, how was work?

Jake: Thrilling. Let me tell you, watching gabi and shin’s love fest makes you want to gouge your eyes out.

Ava: Mmm, so things are getting pretty serious with them, huh?

Jake: Looks like it. Anyway, enough about them. How was your day?

Ava: Well, before I was talking with my secret lover, I mean, tripp…

Jake: Uh-huh.

Ava: I was watching a pretty interesting press conference.

Jake: Sounds like a contradiction of terms.

Ava: Oh, so then I take it you haven’t heard the news.

Jake: About?

Ava: The governor issued several pardons just now, including one for your sister kristen.

Jake: Huh.

Kristen: It’s funny. I was pretty much resigned to finishing out my sentence here, with the occasional escape, of course, when this amazing opportunity for a full pardon just fell right into my lap. And I was never one to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Gwen: Well, congratulations. I guess this is goodbye then.

Kristen: Actually, it isn’T. No, see, you are coming with me.

Gwen: What?

Kristen: Yes, what, did you think I’m gonna leave you behind? No, hon–ouch. I got you a full pardon too.

Shawn: I spoke to chloe earlier. And she really helped me understand just how unfair that I’ve been to you since the moment that little shawn was conceived.

Belle: I don’t want to go back there.

Shawn: Belle, please, I just–let me just say this. I was wrong. I was wrong to let you believe that jan and I never had sex. I should have told you. I should have told you the moment that it happened so that you wouldn’t have gotten blindsided by her all those months later with her telling you that she’s pregnant. And I’m sorry. I’m sorry about the decisions that I made that affected the both of us. Letting jan move in, and telling you to keep your distance from her? Look, all I was trying to do was protect my unborn son. But you are my wife, belle. You’re my wife, and I should have involved you in every decision that was made. And I should have made it clear to you and to jan that you and I–that we’re a team.

Belle: Well, I didn’t really make that easy for you. The idea of jan having your baby just drove me crazy, and I shut down, and I shut you down.

Shawn: But I should not have let you. I should have worked with you. I should have worked harder to find a solution, a different solution. Like, to have jan–to have her live someplace else. Okay, but no, I didn’T. I put you in an impossible position. And for that, belle, I am so sorry.

Evan: Governor mitchell didn’t mention kristen’s two other demands when he started his announcement. I was worried he was going to renege on that part of the deal. But he managed to sneak them in at the end.

Orpheus: He was probably embarrassed by what kristen made him do. I can’t say that I blame him. I don’t know what that woman was thinking.

Rolf: I just heard the wonderful news! Ah! Thank you for securing me a pardon from the governor. I am so honored that you would even think of me. Of course, I did help you escape that one time. But you’ve been a little standoffish since they brought you back. I was starting to think you didn’t like me.

Orpheus: I don’T.

Evan: Dr. Rolf, your release was kirsten dimera’s idea, not my dad’S.

Rolf: Ah. I should have known the dimeras would once again come to my rescue.

Evan: I don’t get it. Why are you so loyal to that family?

Rolf: Stefano was the first person to acknowledge and encourage my scientific genius. Apparently, his daughter shares his wisdom and values my considerable talents as well. Ah, that kristen always was the shrewd one.

Gwen: Okay, let me get this straight. So you had evan tell his father that he need to secure a pardon not just for you, but also for dr. Rolf and for me?

Kristen: Yeah, I mean, I have a certain loyalty to dr. Rolf as well. Better yet, he may come in handy for me.

Gwen: Well, I get that, but why for me? Why would you ask for a pardon for me?

Kristen: Oh, silly, I’m a good and loyal friend.

Gwen: I didn’t realize we were friends.

Kristen: Of course we are. I mean, do you think I’ve forgotten how you helped me escape police custody?

Gwen: Because you blackmailed me.

Kristen: Okay, granted, our friendship didn’t exactly start on a level playing field. But you and ava, you know, you came through for me. And I felt I owed you one.

Gwen: I see. Well, this is incredible.

Kristen: Isn’t it? This must be how oprah feels. You get a pardon. You get a pardon. Everybody gets a pardon.

Gwen: Yeah, well, not everybody.

Jake: So my sister kristen’s a free woman now, huh?

Ava: Yep. Along with orpheus and evan.

Jake: Did the governor mention why he issued these pardons?

Ava: Yeah, I don’t know. Tripp called during the middle of the conference; I didn’t get all the juicy details.

Jake: You wouldn’t have anything to do with this, would you?

Ava: With kristen getting pardoned? Why would you even ask me that?

Jake: Because I would imagine that you still have a certain amount of influence over your old mob ties, right? You and kristen were friends. You helped her escape police custody, what, twice?

Ava: I had nothing to do with the governor’s pardon. Although, I kind of like that you think I got that kind of power, that I could pull off something like that.

Jake: Well, I think there’s no limit as to what you could pull off, ava vitali, what with your charm and your brains. You are a woman of many talents.

Ava: Yeah. And don’t you forget it.

From prom dresses

Xander: Well, can you at least tell me the name of this supposed eyewitness? Who’s claiming they saw sarah at the dimera estate the night abigail was murdered?

Rafe: Not at liberty to say.

Xander: Was it lucas? Heard some cops talking about some hypnosis session he had with marlena? Sounds totally bogus to me.

Rafe: I just told you I am not revealing the identity of the witness.

Xander: Of course it was lucas; who else could it be? He’s your main suspect, right? And what, he just happens to recall seeing sarah. Come on, it must be painfully obvious even to you that he’s just trying to point the finger at someone else.

Rafe: Okay. Let’s say you’re right. Let’s say it was lucas. Why would he implicate sarah, of all people?

Xander: I don’t know. Maybe it was the first name that popped into his wee head. But we’re talking about sarah, rafe. She’s a doctor. She took an oath to do no harm. Not to mention she’s the kindest person on earth. She would certainly never murder anyone, especially her own cousin.

Jada: Can you tell me some more about the drug that causes these hallucinations?

Sarah: It doesn’t have a name. It’s experimental.

Jada: Is it recreational?

Sarah: I didn’t take it willingly, if that’s what you’re asking. A woman named kristen dimera injected me with it.

Jada: Why would she do that?

Sarah: She was keeping me hostage in the dimera tunnels. I found the syringe on the floor, and I was planning on using it against her to try to escape. She overpowered me and used it on me instead.

Jada: Do you know how a drug-filled syringe would just happen to be on the floor?

Sarah: I did not know it then, but I have since learned that abigail left it behind.

Jada: Abigail dimera?

Sarah: Yes.

Jada: So, in a way, abigail was responsible for your hallucinations. I’m sure that made you very angry with her.

Sarah: No, no, of course not. This is all kristen’s fault. She’s the one that I’m angry with, and I am more than angry. She is a vile human being. She’s a sadistic bitch, and I hate her for what she did to me.

Kristen: What do you mean? I mean, who else was I supposed to get a pardon for? One of those lamebrains we see in the exercise yard every day?

Gwen: How about your bff lani?

Kristen: Yeah. Well, believe me, I would if I could have. But the governor doesn’t have jurisdiction now that she’s serving her sentence out of state.

Gwen: Well, that’s too bad. For her. But you and me, I mean, we’re really going home tonight.

Kristen: Yes, yes, we are!

Gwen: Really?

Kristen: Yes!

Gwen: Oh, my–ah! Oh, my god. Thank you.

Rolf: Well, I must go and gather my things if we are to leave this vile penitentiary tonight. What a delightful turn of events, huzzah!

Orpheus: What a freak show.

Evan: He’s excited. That’s all. He’s got his life back, and so do I, and as soon as I’m out of this hellhole, I’m going straight to shawn brady’s, and I’m gonna claim my child.

Orpheus: Well, if that’s your plan, you’re gonna need this. It’s the original results from jan’s paternity test. It proves that shawn brady is not the father of her baby.

Evan: Thanks. Although, I wish you’d told me the truth a lot sooner.

Orpheus: Right. Because you’re so discreet.

Evan: I get that I let you down. And I’m sorry.

Orpheus: It’s fine. Just go get my grandson. He belongs with us, not with marlena’s dimwitted son-in-law.

Belle: In the beginning, I wanted to lay all the blame on you, but I realize now that I can’T. I made some mistakes as well. I pretty much did what I always do when things are rough between us, and I sought comfort and assurance from someone else, when I should have been trying to work things out with you. Every time we fought, I turned to ej, even though I knew how much it bothered you. And I guess, on some level, that’s probably why I did it.

Shawn: Look, I know that part of you ran to ej to hurt me. But is that all that it was? Like, in the end, did– in the end, did you fall in love with him?

Belle: What–no, no. Ej was there for me, but it was never love. And I want you to know i didn’t file for separation so I could be with ej. I really did feel like we needed that space. But I do admit that having those separation papers helped me rationalize that it was okay to be with him. I told myself that I wasn’t betraying our vows because we were legally separated. But I do know that it was a betrayal. And I am deeply sorry I hurt you.

Shawn: We’ve established that you and I are both sorry. So where does that leave us now?

Jada: Do you still suffer from these hallucinations?

Sarah: I have them less often now that my medicine has been adjusted.

Jada: Can you give me an example of how these hallucinations manifest themselves?

Sarah: I imagined my stepfather was kristen, and she was holding a syringe, but it was just him with a pen.

Jada: I see. Any other incidents?

Sarah: I mistook a woman named nicole walker for kristen. And I attacked her.

Jada: Attacked her how?

Sarah: I grabbed her by the arm to try to get her away from eric brady. Xander stepped in and helped me realize that I was hallucinating, made me snap out of it. Nicole was fine. She wasn’t hurt at all.

Jada: Have you hallucinated that anybody else was kristen dimera?

Sarah: Xander’s ex-wife, chanel dupree.

Jada: And did you attack her the same way you did nicole walker?

Sarah: Sort of.

Jada: Sort of, can you please elaborate on that?

Sarah: I threatened her with a knife.

Xander: Sarah and I should be celebrating our wedding night right now. This very minute, we should be enjoying champagne, and cake, and lots and lots of newlywed sex.

Rafe: Yeah, well, I really don’t need to hear about your honeymoon plans.

Xander: Once again, all our plans have gone to hell. We were kept apart for so long by kristen and then gwen. I really thought this was our chance, finally, our big moment, our happily ever after.

Rafe: Okay, listen. Believe it or not, I am not completely unsympathetic to your feelings, all right, so if you could just put your frustration aside and have a little objectivity, okay? So if it turns out that sarah was at the dimeras the night abigail was murdered…

Xander: Which she wasn’T.

Rafe: Then we need to know everything that happened, right? And if it turns out that sarah is innocent…

Xander: Which she is!

Rafe: She might be able to shed some light on the investigation.

[Phone rings] Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to take this. Hey, abe, what’s up? No, I did not see the press conference. You’ve gotta be kidding me.

Shawn: I guess there isn’t an easy answer.

Belle: No, there isn’T.

[Cell phone beeps]

Shawn: I have to check this. It might be work, okay? What the hell?

Belle: What, what’s wrong?

Shawn: Governor mitchell pardoned five people. And you are not gonna believe who they are.

Ava: So did you figure out why the governor pardoned your sister?

Jake: No, it’s pretty vague about why he was letting her go. But I did come across a related piece of news you might be interested to hear.

Ava: Yeah, what’s that?

Jake: Well, toward the end of the press conference, governor mitchell announced that he was issuing two more pardons, one for dr. Wilhelm rolf, and the other for your own pal, gwen.

Ava: You’re kidding. So the governor pardoned orpheus, kristen dimera, evan frears, gwen rizczech, and dr. Wilhelm rolf. Talk about a rogues’ gallery. And as of tonight, they are all free to do whatever the hell they please. Research shows that people remember ads with young people

Jada: You said at your mother’s house on the night in question that you were planning on visiting abigail dimera.

Sarah: Yeah, dr. Evans suggested that I go speak to my cousin because abigail had had a similar reaction to the same drug.

Jada: So what happened when you went to visit her?

Sarah: I didn’t go, it turns out. I went to statesville to see abigail’s sister gwen rizczech.

Jada: And after your visit to statesville?

Sarah: I went to the salem inn. I needed to lie down. I was just–I was feeling off because my meds hadn’t been adjusted yet.

Jada: So you’re saying that you never went to the dimera estate that night.

Sarah: That’s what I’m saying.

Jada: Well, lucas said he saw you there.

Sarah: That’s impossible. So lucas is lying, or he’s mistaken. I don’t know.

Jada: I’m just telling you what he said he saw. He said he saw you fleeing down the stairs. You had an object in your hand. You dropped it.

Sarah: I couldn’t drop something if I wasn’t there.

Jada: I’m just telling you what lucas said. Even though he didn’t know what you had in your hand, allegedly, I think it was the knife, the same one that killed abigail dimera.

Rolf: Ms. Dimera, please accept my heartfelt thanks for securing my freedom. You have no idea how hard it has been for me to coexist with all those neanderthals in there.

Kristen: You are very welcome, rolf. I know father wouldn’t have wanted me to leave you languishing behind bars. And now you can continue his work.

Rolf: Indeed. And am I correct in thinking you may require my services in the future?

Kristen: Oh, you know me too well. I will get in touch soon. But until then, lie low and stay out of trouble.

Rolf: Understood. I shall await your instructions.

Gwen: So what services of dr. Rolf will you be requiring, ms. Dimera? What exactly do you have planned?

Belle: Well, please be safe. Okay, I love you too. Okay. My mom heard about orpheus, so they’re on the alert.

Shawn: That’s good. That’s good. Did you get ahold of brady?

Belle: Yeah, he knows about kristen.

Shawn: I left word for ben and ciara. Thank god they’re halfway across the world, where evan can’t get to them.

Belle: That’s a relief. All right, so everyone we love is safe.

Shawn: Yeah, and they’re gonna stay that way.

Evan: Sorry to interrupt. Door was open.

Shawn: What the hell are you doing here? If you’re looking for my sister, then–

Evan: I’m not. I’m here to get my son.

Shawn: Your son?

Evan: The one you call shawn christian. I’m sorry to tell you–actually, no, I’m not. I’m proud to say it. He’s not your son. He’s mine. After trying lots of things to manage her

Sarah: Look, abigail was my cousin, and I loved her. She rescued me from kristen. I’m profoundly grateful to her. Why in god’s name would I ever hurt her?

Jada: You obviously wouldn’t in your normal state of mind, but, dr. Horton, you’ve admitted that you’re subject to hallucinations. Isn’t it possible that you thought abigail was kristen dimera and felt that she was a threat? I mean, you’ve admitted to brandishing a knife against ms. Dupree. You could have done the same thing to abigail, except this time, I don’t think that anybody was there to protect her, to stop you from taking your revenge.

Sarah: Am I under arrest?

Jada: No.

Sarah: Then I’d like to leave.

Kristen: Oh, you know me, I always have a plan. But I’m not ready to share the details. Let’s just say I intend to get back everything I lost. And I assume you’ll do the same?

Gwen: Well, I might be able to repair my relationship with my father, but xander and I, we’re a lost cause, especially after what I did to sarah. I don’t think he’ll ever speak to me again, let alone take me back.

Kristen: Hey, you never know. At least you have a fighting chance.

Gwen: Good to know one of us thinks so.

Kristen: Oh, honey, I know so. You are beautiful, and smart, and definitely more interesting than that ditzy sarah horton. I can’t stand that moron xander. I never could. But for some reason, you love him. And we both have been given a second chance at freedom, and I think you and I need to go after what we want and not let anyone stand in our way.

Xander: What’s taking so long? Oh, you okay–what happened?

Sarah: Will you please take me home?

Xander: Of course.

Evan: Is that him? Shawn christian?

Shawn: You take another step towards my son, and I will kill you.

Evan: Look, I didn’t come here to fight with you.

Shawn: Okay, well do yourself a favor, turn around, and get the hell out of my house now.

Evan: I understand why you might not believe me.

Belle: Yeah, maybe because you’re a psychotic murderer.

Evan: But I swear I’m telling the truth. I’m the father of that baby, of jan spears’ baby.

Shawn: How do you even know jan?

Evan: She and I hooked up when she first came to statesville. We met in the infirmary. It got pretty hot pretty fast. I didn’t know at the time, but she wanted me to get her pregnant so she could pass the baby off as yours. I guess it worked out fine.

Shawn: Look, I have a paternity test that proves that I am that baby’s father.

Evan: Yeah, a test that my father helped jan alter.

Shawn: Orpheus? Why would he do that?

Evan: He had his reasons.

Belle: This doesn’t make any sense.

Evan: Look, I have the real results of the paternity test right here. It says that you’re not the father, as you can see.

Shawn: How do we know that that isn’t the fake, huh?

Belle: Yeah, even if these results are real, they don’t prove that you’re the father.

Evan: She named the baby after me. Christian is my birth name.

Belle: She also named the baby after shawn.

Shawn: She named my son after me.

Evan: Look, I’ll take a paternity test if you want to. In fact, bring it on. See, the sooner that we get this all sorted out, the sooner I can be with my son.

Jake: All right, so you remember the dimera board meeting a little while ago. Kristen attended virtually.

Ava: Mm-hmm, yeah, ’cause she was on the run, as usual.

Jake: Right, well, she voted against my brothers, which kept gabi in charge of the company, and in turn kind of saved my job too.

Ava: So in other words, she did you a major favor.

Jake: Right, and she called me afterwards and basically said that in exchange for that major favor, that maybe the two of us could collaborate, that we would do great things together.

Ava: Yeah, like what exactly?

Jake: I don’t really know. To be honest with you, I kind of forgot about it after she got arrested, but now that she’s free, changes everything.

[Knock at door]

Kristen: Hey, jake, open up. It’s your sister. It’s kristen.

From prom dresses

Sarah: I can’t believe our wedding was ruined again.

Xander: I’m so sorry, sarah. But it’s all gonna work out.

Sarah: Xander.

Xander: I promise you.

Sarah: How can you say it’s gonna work out? I’m a murder suspect.

Xander: Let’s just–let’s not talk about that right now.

Sarah: How can we not talk talk about it? This could change our whole life. I’m sitting here, and I’m worried about me when my cousin abigail was just… how could this happen? How could someone take her life?

Xander: It’s gonna be all right, okay? It’s gonna be okay.

Sarah: How could this day get any worse?

Gwen: Hello, xander, sarah.

Xander: Gwen? What the hell?

Gwen: Guess you haven’t heard. Yeah, the governor set me free. Full pardon. So I’m free as a bird. Isn’t that just the best news ever? Right, well, see you around.

Rolf: It’s good to see you again, stefano. As I’m sure you’re aware, my experiments were on hold for quite some time. But, thanks to kristen, I can finally get back to my important work. I hope I continue to make you proud.

[Dramatic music]

Jake: Ah, hello, kristen.

Kristen: Evening, jake. Hey, ava. Well, since your jaws aren’t hanging on the floor in shock, I presume you heard my wonderful news.

Ava: Yeah, we were just talking about your release. Congratulations. You must be so relieved.

Kristen: You have no idea.

Jake: So, kristen, I was actually just telling ava that you could be knocking at my door any minute ’cause i sort of owe you a favor.

Kristen: Oh, there’s no “sort of” about it. Matter of fact, since I saved your job, in my calculations, you owe my multiple favors.

Jake: How many is multiple?

Kristen: Well, as my lawyer would say, it depends. In any case, I’m here to call on my first one.

Ava: Which is…

Kristen: Which is, I need a place to stay. Yeah, and though it does fall a bit short of my personal standards, I think this little pied–terre of yours will do me just fine. Thank you.

[Sighs]

Evan: Should we all head over to the hospital now, get the ball rolling on the paternity test?

Shawn: Look, my son is not going anywhere.

Evan: Look, I understand you’re upset. Jan lied to us both. But I am telling the truth, and deep down you know that.

Shawn: What I know is that you need to get the hell out of my sight before I rip you to shreds.

Evan: I’ll go, for now. But I’m coming back with that court order for that paternity test.

Belle: Which we will fight.

Evan: Goodnight, shawn christian. Daddy will be back soon.

Jada: You really don’t need to buy me a beer.

Rafe: What–no, you had a great first day. You earned it. Plus, it’ll give me the chance to get you up to speed on the five felons that the governor pardoned today.

Jada: I read about that announcement.

Rafe: Yeah.

Jada: Why would the governor set so many dangerous criminals free?

Rafe: I–well, what do you know? Here comes one of them now.

Orpheus: Evening, commissioner.

Rafe: Yeah. Listen, I don’t know how you managed to pull this off, but you should know that I’ve got my eye on you. So if you came here looking to cause trouble–

Orpheus: Oh, no, no. Wouldn’t dream of it, no. No, from here on in, I’m gonna be a model citizen.

Rafe: Yeah.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Taylor: Our poor daughter. What she must be going through.

Ridge: Well, at least she’s taking care of herself. Steffy and the kids are okay.

Taylor: Ridge, I’ve been trying to call her for days.

Ridge: Me too. I just thought she was busy.

Taylor: It’s the last thing in the world that we expected, is to get a call saying she is in a treatment center.

Ridge: I just didn’t know she was struggling that much. Well, at least she– she knew that she needed help and that’s good.

Taylor: Ridge, I should have never let her go by herself.

Ridge: Don’t do that, don’t do that. Do you really think it would make a difference if it’s here or there? It’s about the void that… that finn left. And it’s gonna take a long time to fill that.

[ Heart rate monitor beeping ]

Finn: Tell me you’re lying.

Sheila: I am so sorry, son.

Finn: No. No, no, no. There’s no– there’s no way–

Sheila: I wish it weren’t true, sweetheart. I know that this has got to be devastating for you to hear.

Finn: Where is my mother? What did you do to her?

Sheila: I didn’t do anything to her. Her car was sinking in the bay, finn. There was nothing I could do for her.

Finn: You’re saying that she’s really dead? You killed my mother?

Bill: You okay? Lady! Wow. You need some help.

Ridge: I thought steffy was doing okay.

Taylor: Me too. She just doesn’t want us to worry about her, so–

Ridge: I honestly had no idea it was getting so bad.

Taylor: God, ridge. She was doing all the right things. She– she was going to therapy, she has a grief counsellor.

[ Book slamming on table ]

Ridge: The whole world’s torn apart. All because of sheila.

Sheila: I can explain.

Finn: You really did it. You got rid of my mother.

Sheila: Li may be gone, but I didn’t touch her. She lost control of her suv.

Finn: Because you were hunting her down like an animal!

Sheila: I was preventing her from going to the cops.

Finn: You were protecting yourself!

Sheila: I was protecting us! You were in a bad place, finn. She needed me to help keep you alive, but she betrayed me. She said she was going to get your medicine. And I caught her trying to call the police.

Finn: Because you escaped from prison, sheila! Sheila: What about her? Hiding you. Making everyone believe you were dead. She was no saint. If only she had let us care for you together.

Finn: Oh, stop it! I don’t wanna hear anymore excuses! My mother is dead because of you!

Bill: Are you all right? It– it’s okay. It’s okay. I’m not going to hurt you. What’s your name? I’m bill. Bill spencer. Are you injured? It’s okay. You don’t have to be scared. You need some help. Will you let me help you?

Taylor: So, it looks like the rehab steffy checked into has a good reputation. And they– they specialize in treating depression, which is good. I think she’s in good hands.

Ridge: I just wish we could see her.

Taylor: Yeah, so do I.

Ridge: Well, maybe, you know, just call them. Get her on the phone so we can hear her voice.

Taylor: I would like that. I really would. She– she knows that we’re thinking of her, ridge. She– she also knows we’d be there in a heartbeat if she needed us.

Ridge: I think she does need us, so let’s go. Let’s just get a plane and go.

Taylor: Well, ho– ho– hold on, ridge. I have to respect what the doctor said. Flavia. She said that steffy is in the best possible hands and she doesn’t want us coming out there in the middle of her treatment.

Ridge: But, let’s– okay. But let’s– let’s try to remember that she put herself in treatment, right?

Taylor: Yes. And, you know, the kids are there. The– the kids are there, the nanny is there. You know one thing, I– I bet it feels really good to steffy to have her kids nearby.

Finn: You’re obsessed with me.

Sheila: You are my son, finn, and I love you. I would move heaven and earth for you. You think I would do this for just anyone? Risk everything?

Finn: I hate you, sheila!

Sheila: No, you don’T. No, that is just frustration talking.

Finn: I mean it. You are nothing to me. You’re just some crazy lady that I wish I never met. I gotta get outta here. I gotta go see my family.

Sheila: No, don’t do that. You’re going to hurt yourself:

Finn: No, don’t touch me. Don’t touch me. You’re–

Sheila: You are too weak.

Finn: You are just some crazy psycho.

Sheila: No. You don’t talk to me like that. You do not talk to your mother that way.

Finn: You are not my mother. You gave birth to me, that’s it. Li is my real mother. She always has been and she always will be.

[ Li whimpering ]

Bill: It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay. What happened to you? Did you get in a fight? Did somebody hit you? I think it’s best if I call an ambulance, call 9-1-1–

Li: No, no no.

Bill: Okay. Okay. Okay. Have you eaten today? Are you hungry?

[ Li whimpering ]

Bill: Are– are you sick? Oh, so you’re– you’re clearly in bad shape. You’ve got to let me do something for you. Get you some food, get you cleaned up, uh. I know you’re afraid. I don’t blame ya. It’s a crazy world out there. I get afraid sometimes.

Li: He– he– help me please.

Bill: Yes.

Li: Help me, please.

Bill: Of– of course I– I’ll help you. You won’t let me call an ambulance, so uh. I’m gonna take you to my home. All right? I’ve got everything you need there. I know you’re frightened, but it’s gonna be okay. You can trust me. I promise.

[ Li whimpering ]

Bill: It’s okay. Here you go. It’s okay. I’ll help you. I’ll help you. What can I du with less asthma?

Ridge: I’m trying to wrap my head around this still. I knew it was gonna be a long journey, I just was hoping that–

Taylor: I know. I know. We don’t want to see our daughter in pain, and–

Ridge: No. It’s my kid. I should be able to take her pain away. It’s my job.

Taylor: Oh, ridge. Don’t put this on yourself, okay? This is– this is steffy’s healing journey. She has to go through this.

Ridge: Yeah, it’s her healing journey, I know. But, she kept telling us she was getting better.

Taylor: Because that’s who she is. She has to be strong for everybody else. That’s what she does. But– but it’s taken a toll on her. All of this. Finn was the love of her life.

Finn: You’re a murderer.

Sheila: I didn’t kill li. She was driving too fast. She must’ve taken her eyes off the road. It was just a terrible accident.

Finn: Just like shooting me was an accident.

Sheila: Yes. Ooh. I love you, finn. All I ever wanted was to spend time with you and hayes. Why would I purposely hurt you? Think about it. Your mother, she’s a doctor. I needed li to take care of you, to bring meds for you. Yes, I– I chased her. I was trying to convince her not to turn me in, but… I never wanted to see her die. Please, you’ve got to believe me.

Finn: I will never believe a word you say again. Never.

Sheila: I won’t let you lose faith in me. I’m gonna continue to try to prove myself to you, but you just need to stay calm and patient because I don’t want to sedate you again.

Finn: Where’s steffy?

Sheila: What?

Finn: Where’s my wife?

Sheila: I already told you, she’s traveling.

Finn: So you say.

Sheila: Well, it’s true. She and the kids are out of town. I told you, they’re fine.

Finn: Are you lying to me? Did you do something to steffy?

Sheila: Steffy, do not

make that call.

[Gun firing]

Finn: Did you harm her? Answer me, sheila. Did you hurt my wife?

Bill: All right. Come on. It’s okay, come on. It’s all right. Yup. Keep going. Over to the couch. Sit down over there. There you go. It’s okay. It’s okay. Good. Good. That’s better. I’m just gonna sit here with you for a second. You okay? I know that you’re, uh, unsure about everything, but you are safe here. I– I’ve got security all over the place. There’s a staff that takes care of this entire property. No harm is gonna come to you. Certainly not from me. I just wanna provide some refuge. I wanna help you get better. And, to that end, you really need to see a doctor. Let them run some tests on you. Let me take you to the hospital. Okay?

[ Bill sighing ] Okay, okay. All right. We’ll just stay put here. Could you tell me your name? Anything about yourself? You must be hungry. Can I get you some food? At least some water? Look at me. If I could get you to trust me, just a little. Tell me who you are. Tell me what happened to you. I brought in ensure max protein

Taylor: I’ve been in denial.

Ridge: About steffy?

Taylor: Yes. I know she’s going through such a hard time knowing that– knowing that hayes will never see his father again.

Ridge: That’s the worst part. That poor little boy.

Taylor: Yeah. And steffy’s grieving, but she’s also grieving for kelly and hayes.

Ridge: Such a beautiful family they are and these beautiful kids.

Taylor: Yes, and finn, he was– he was so wonderful. He was… he brought so much to so many people’s lives.

Ridge: Especially steffy.

Taylor: The way they were together. They were so cute. The way her eyes would light up when– when she’d see him.

Ridge: Yeah. Never seen her smile so big.

[ Taylor sighing ]

Ridge: Even when he told his terrible jokes.

Taylor: Yeah, they were kind of bad sometimes, right?

Ridge: Awful. Oh, ridge, I can’t help but think what it would be like if finn was still alive. You know? For steffy, you know, the– the darkness in her heart would– would go away and her life would just light up again.

Finn: Where’s steffy?

Sheila: We’ve been over this ten times already.

Finn: No. Where is she, really? I need– I need to talk to her. She needs to see me. She needs to know that I’m alive.

[ Monitor beeping faster ]

Sheila: You need to calm down because you’re– your heart rate is going up.

Finn: You need to give me a phone.

Sheila: What?

Finn: You need to let me talk to her.

Sheila: No, not yet.

Finn: How long are you gonna make me stay here? I need to talk to– I need to talk to my family.

Sheila: No, no, no.

Finn: They need to know. Steffy is probably heartbroken.

Sheila: No, no, no. Just a few more days, that’s all, okay? Just let me nurse you back to health. Just a few more days.

Finn: This isn’t about me. This about you not going back to prison. This is about you not being behind bars. You deserve to be behind bars for the rest of your miserable life.

Sheila: No. You’re not listening to me, are you? Because I love you. I wanna make this up to you, finn.

Finn: Yes.

Sheila: I’m gonna make it up to you, baby.

Finn: I’ve got to make it out of here.

Sheila: No, don’t do that.

Finn: Make it up to me? You killed my mom.

Sheila: No, you’ve got to stay.

Finn: You killed my mom, so I can’t even–

Sheila: No. Stop.

Finn: You killed my mom.

Sheila: No, no, that’s not–

Finn: You killed my mom. You killed my mom!

Bill: Here’s some water for you. Can I? I’m just gonna put it right here. Okay. You’ve been through something very traumatic, that much I know, but if you won’t talk to me, I can’t help you. How did you end up in that alley? Is there anybody I can call? Any friends? Any family? Yes. You have some family? Brothers? Sisters? Do you have a husband? What about children?

Li: Yeah.

Bill: Yes? You– you have children? I– I have children. I have three boys. What about you? Do you have a daughter? Do you have a son?

[ Li whimpering ] You have a son? Yes, you have a son?

Li: Uh– uh– uh–

Bill: That’s good. That’s good. You’re trying to talk to me. That’s great. Go ahead.

Li: M– ma– ma

Bill: Yes, what is it? What are you trying to tell me?

Li: Uh– uh huh.

Bill: What is it?

Review of “The Gilded Age: The Complete First Season”

Posted on July 23, 2022September 10, 2023 by TvMegasite Admin

DVD Review!

“The Gilded Age: The Complete First Season” Review by Suzanne 7/22/22

I enjoyed this show a lot. I missed it when it came out, so I’m very glad to have watched the DVD. I never saw “Downton Abbey,” which was created by the same person (Julian Fellowes), so I can’t compare them. I think this is really good. Most period costume dramas are basically soap operas. They show you characters against a pretty backdrop from history. This one has better production values than most PBS series, which is probably why it’s on HBO. The acting and story are very good, and the sets and costumes are fabulous.

The story really draws you in. In 1882, a young woman named Marian (Louisa Jacobs) finds out that her late father left her no money or possessions to speak of, so she travels from her home in Philadelphia to live with two aunts that she’s never met. One of them, Agnes Van Rhijn (Christine Baranski, who never disappoints) is a snobby widow. She represents the “old money” of wealthy New Yorkers and resents the people with “new money” who are trying to push their way into society. At that time, there was a list of the top 400 most respectable people in NYC, which represented the “old money” people. They didn’t invite others to their parties and such. Because of railroads and other businesses, there were many “new money” people in NYC that wanted to be involved in society, so the others felt threatened. Agnes represents those people, along with the famous Mrs. Astor (based on the real person) and many others. Agnes’ sister, Ada (the luminous Cynthia Nixon) is much kinder than Agnes.

Marian is robbed at the train station, so a young black woman, Peggy (Denée Benton) lends her money for a ticket. Marian in turn helps her out in NYC by getting her aunts to let her stay for the night (she is headed home to Brooklyn but the ferry is washed out). This was before they had subways- they only traveled by horse-drawn carriages, trains and ferries. Anyway, through Marian’s eyes, we meet all of the people in the series, including the people who live across the street, The Russells. They are very rich “new money” people who have built a big palace and hope to get involved with society. Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon) is a very pushy, determined woman, and her husband, George (Morgan Spector) is used to getting his way in business.

There are two main plots of the season. One is about Marian become romantically involved in a lawyer, Tom (Thomas Cocquerel), that she knew in Philadelphia (who moves to NYC) as she struggles to find her place in NYC and tries to make her own way without angering her stern Aunt Agnes too much. The other is about the Russells trying to win over society. Then there are many smaller plots with Peggy and her parents and Agnes’ son, Oscar (Blake Ritson), who is secretly gay but trying to find a wife so that he can avoid scandal. Like “Downton Abbey” and its predecessor, “Upstairs Downstairs,” both families have many servants, whom we also learn about.

Some of the best parts of the show are how they show us some of the new technology of the time, such as “magic lanterns,” trains and electricity. Also, thy have a lot of great historical background and characters, and they use that to show us the plight of women and black people at the time (but without being preachy).

At first, I worried that the story would be predictable, as it seemed to be headed that way. However, I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t. At least, it wasn’t to me. You may have a different opinion. I’m looking forward to season 2! The DVD is well worth getting because it has many extras to watch that you can’t find anywhere else. I know because I looked on YouTube to find them, and they’re not available. The best of them are on Disk 3. Do yourself a favor and buy the set, and also give it out to others during the holidays!

Nick: Thank you.

Victoria: I’m sorry, but you really can’t seriously be giving adam this much credit. You think that he broke up with sally so that we wouldn’t fire her?

Nick: I’m not nominating the guy for sainthood or anything close to that. I’m just saying, there have been some times in adam’s life where he’s been selfless, like when he saved faith’s life.

Victoria: Oh, believe me, I haven’t forgotten that, but adam has also done some extremely egregious things that far outweighs [Scoffs] A few acts of kindness. And I am not going to give him the benefit of the doubt while he’s making all of these big moves, like threatening that he’s going to walk away from newman enterprises and from us for good. Breaking things off with sally, it makes me wonder if maybe there’s something bigger going on here, something that he has planned.

Nick: Like what? Some revenge plot against us?

Victoria: I don’t know, but I’m not buying that he’s walking away from the company for good. Even when he says he’s trying to walk on the straight and narrow, adam is like a dark cloud hanging over newman. It’s his nature. And that’s never going to change.

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Victor: Son. Hope you had enough time to think about your decision to step away from newman.

Adam: I’m sorry, dad. That’s just not the case.

Victor: And I recall that you had done that before, you know? Then you eventually came back. What would it take to convince you to stay?

Sharon: So there’s something great that’s going on with you. Can I assume that it has something to do with the lovely allie?

Noah: What can possibly give you that idea?

Sharon: Oh, I don’t know. Maybe it’s the look on your face whenever you’re around her or talking about her. Let’s see, what’s the word I’m looking for? Oh, I know — happy.

Noah: That’s very funny. But, yeah, yeah, I like her. She’s cool, easy to hang out with.

Sharon: She kind of took you by surprise, didn’t she?

Noah: Yeah, I can’t remember ever feeling so comfortable and so relaxed with someone this quickly.

Sharon: Why do you make that sound like it’s a bad thing?

Noah: It isn’T. Just makes me wonder if this thing with allie could really go anywhere.

Ashley: Hi.

Allie: Hey.

Ashley: I hope I’m not interrupting.

Allie: Oh, not at all. I was just looking over my materials from the jabot orientation. I want to be fully prepped for my first day at the lab tomorrow.

Ashley: I love how enthusiastic you are, and I’m sure you’re going to be more than ready.

Allie: I cannot wait, ashley. I also love that you and i are both so at home in the lab, just like your dad.

Allie: It must be in the genes.

Ashley: I think it has to be. So how’s everything going with you, getting to know the family and everything?

Allie: It’s been wonderful, to say the least. Better than what I was expecting. Not that I was expecting anything bad or anything. I was just… god, I was so nervous when I first came here. I didn’t know how you guys would feel about me, how I feel about you, what I would say. It was pretty scary.

Ashley: Yeah, I bet.

Allie: Yeah.

Ashley: And strange, too. I mean, the way you met jack in L.A., Right? And you found out you got a grandfather, and then you have this whole family, and — and then on top of it all, you find out that diane orchestrated the entire thing.

Allie: Yeah. Yeah, it was a bit mind-blowing, but I will be forever grateful to be in this big, loving family that I never knew I had.

Ashley: Yeah, well, just so you know, you are the gift to us, and I mean that from my heart. But it had to be very overwhelming, and I’m sure that it still is because there’s so many intense dynamics, right? I mean, I can only imagine what you think of all that.

Allie: Why do I get the feeling that you’re really asking about diane?

Phyllis: Hey, jack. Hey.

Jack: Hey, uh… good to see you.

Phyllis: Yeah. You, too. You just taking a walk or going somewhere in particular?

Jack: I have a meeting later with some of the original marchetti board members. They just flew in from italy.

Phyllis: Ah, that’s right. Summer had me reserve some suites for them.

Jack: Right. Of course.

Phyllis: Well, I won’t keep you.

Jack: Well, have a nice day.

Phyllis: Yeah, you, too. You know what, jack? Wait a second. There is something I want to say.

Jack: About?

Phyllis: About your sister. Alice loves the scent of gain so much,

provided by…

Jack: You want to talk about my sister? Ashley or traci?

Phyllis: Ashley.

Jack: I hope you two didn’t have any kind of a run-in.

Phyllis: No, not at all. She told me that — that you told her about what happened between us.

Jack: You have an issue with my confiding in ashley?

Phyllis: Well, no. I mean, of course you talk to your sister. Of course you would, but… I just want you to know that she understands the way I reacted to diane.

Jack: She told you that?

Phyllis: Yeah. Ashley and I are on the same side. That’s a first.

Jack: Yeah, that is a surprise, but ashley has always had a distinctively unique perspective on things.

Phyllis: Okay, well, she sees diane the same way I do.

Jack: I think she’s as determined as you are to see the worst in diane.

Phyllis: Okay, but you respect ashley. You respect her opinion, right? Does her stance on diane not change your mind at all?

Jack: You keep trying to make this a referendum on diane.

Phyllis: Okay, because this is about my alleged unhappiness, right, which is impossible right now for me to disprove.

Jack: I was just suggesting it’s more about us.

Phyllis: Okay, yes, jack, I really, really want you to know that diane was never, ever more important than my feelings for you, ever.

Jack: You know what? I have to get to the office.

Nick: Adam has made some significant strides with some of the relationships in this family.

Victoria: Well, don’t get me wrong, nicholas. I don’t even blame adam for being the way that he is, given everything we’ve learned about his childhood. And, yes, he has been on comparatively good behavior. But that doesn’t mean that I can trust his loyalty, because it’s always flip-flopping back and forth, not to mention his intense competitive streak, his constant need for dad’s approval, his angry resentment every time he’s shunned. Those character flaws have always remained the same.

Nick: I can’t disagree with that.

Victoria: Which is why there is no room for him at the new newman enterprises. Time will tell what is true intentions are.

Nick: And very soon we’re going to see if sally deserves her spot.

Victoria: But one thing i already know [Sighs] Is that it feels so good and so right having you back by my side at newman.

Adam: Oh, so now you want to know what it would take to get me back, huh? You know, you could’ve kept me in this very office, but you chose victoria, so I don’t think there’s anything else to say on that subject.

Victor: So then why are you here?

Adam: Well, for starters, I wanted to finish my earlier conversation with victoria about sally.

Victor: Ooh, I understand you ended your relationship with her.

Adam: I don’t doubt that you are thrilled about that. And you’ll be even happier to learn that I realized getting involved with her was a mistake in the first place.

Victor: Oh, well, that’s a sudden realization.

Adam: I just hope that victoria and the rest of you will give her a chance to prove herself at newman now that she has no connection to me. You guys would be fools not to keep her on.

Victor: Let me ask you, did you end your relationship with her because you wanted to protect her position here at newman media?

Adam: Absolutely not. I ended things because it wasn’t working out. Never should’ve begun in the first place. I just — I don’t want to see her punished professionally because of our personal relationship.

Victor: Pains me to realize that you go to such great lengths to protect sally spectra, whatever her name is, and yet you’re willing to walk away from your family and from newman. Do you dislike us that much?

Adam: [ Exhales sharply ]

[ Sighs ] Hi, I’m karen.

Adam: There is so much more going on besides hatred. I mean, try devastation. Humiliation. Betrayal. Okay, dad? I thought things had been going quite well for us, and I thought we had finally turned a corner, but, unfortunately, I was wrong about that.

Victor: No, you weren’t wrong about that. I thought things were going very well, and you just would’ve had another place at newman since you were unhappy at newman media. All you had to do is be patient.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] I have been more than patient, dad… but you’ve just been jerking me around this whole time, like I’m your puppet, and I’ve been dancing as fast as I can whenever you pull the strings. So many times I’ve tried to break free, and I have been pulled back and shown once again that I’m a second-class citizen in this family. I’m never good enough to be a real newman. But you know what? Not anymore.

Victor: I’ve had your back for all this time. For you to feel this way, that you don’t belong to this family… …that upsets me.

Adam: Dad.

Victor: You’re my son.

Adam: Why don’t you ever listen? Good god, dad, you and everybody else, you are so used to getting your way. You just assume everybody’s supposed to sit here and take what you dish out, that I’m supposed to bow down to your will? Well, you know what? Some people have limits, and they’re not going to accept defeat and just go quietly into the night. Like ashland locke.

Victor: What the hell does ashland locke have to do with anything?

Adam: [ Sighs ] Because you all are in for a rude awakening.

Sharon: Help me connect the dots here, because I feel like I’m missing something. Obviously, you and allie are in the beginning stages of getting to know each other, and there’s no way of predicting how things will go with you two in the future, but… why are you already questioning whether or not you have a future?

Noah: ‘Cause I’ve never been with anyone like allie before. I’ve never had a relationship start like this. At first, we irritated each other. Then we became friends. It’s just, it’s not my usual thing.

Sharon: Oh, I get it. Since your first girlfriend, you have been attracted to a certain type of woman. Troublemakers, drama queens, women who were dragging around so much baggage that they were destined to break your heart for one reason or another.

Noah: Ah, well, gee, mom, thank you. And when you word it like that, it makes it sound like I sure can pick them.

Sharon: I’m not judging. I mean, look at my history. You were raised by two parents who share a complicated past, so maybe, on some level, a part of you decided that conflict in your relationship is normal, to be expected. But I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be that way. I would love to see you with somebody smart and kind and honest, who really appreciates you for who you are.

Noah: Like what you had with rey?

Sharon: Exactly. I just want you to embrace the idea that a loving, lasting relationship doesn’t have to be contentious or full of conflict. It doesn’t have to be that much hard work. Well, of course you do have to work at it. That’s true.

Noah: I get it, okay?

[ Chuckles ]

Sharon: Good. I hope you do, because it’s really great the way that you and allie get along. And wouldn’t you rather skip over all of the angst stuff this time around?

Noah: You know, I think I just might. A healthy relationship sounds — sounds appealing.

Sharon: Good answer.

Noah: [ Chuckles ]

Sharon: You know, I don’t want you to overanalyze things or put too much pressure on yourself trying to figure out where you two are headed. Everything’s so new right now. Just enjoy the moments together. That’s what really matters anyway. Does that sound okay with you?

Noah: Yeah, it’s more than okay.

Allie: I’ve been very popular lately.

Ashley: What do you mean?

Allie: Well, the other day, phyllis was asking me all kinds of questions about the family and jack and, well, about everything. And then, of course, diane came for her own fishing expedition. And now here you are, probing me about her.

Ashley: Yeah, I’m curious.

Allie: Look, I get that diane has a lot of enemies in town, and I also totally understand why you feel protective about jack and kyle and why you don’t trust her. But, ashley, I don’t want to be involved.

Ashley: I understand. And I’m sorry if I’ve made you feel uncomfortable, but you have to realize that phyllis and I know how incredibly manipulative diane is. I know that she did a great thing by connecting you with jack. It was wonderful. But she had an ulterior motive. She used you to get to jack to help her reunite with kyle.

Allie: And I am fully aware of that.

Ashley: It worked for her. Do you understand? And I know her. We have not seen the last of diane’s scheming, and I don’t want to see you get used like that again.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ]

Lily: Oh, phyllis, hello.

Phyllis: Hey.

Lily: I’ve actually been waiting for you.

Phyllis: Oh, have you?

Lily: Yes.

Phyllis: Does chancellor-winters need the ballroom for another event?

Lily: No. No, no, no. It’s actually something bigger than that — an offer that I hope you’ll be very interested in. (Kid 1) where’s lucky?

Adam: This whole saga with locke should’ve been over when we paid him off. But victoria, she just felt compelled to take things further. She just had to get the money back as her special way to kiss your ring.

Victor: I don’t understand you. You have a problem with victoria returning the money to her family?

Adam: But she felt the need to rub his face in his loss and humiliation. And if that wasn’t enough, she decided that his cancer deception needed to be outed via the podcast, just completely destroying the guy’s chances of ever doing business again.

Victor: That bastard deserves worse than that after what he has pulled.

Adam: That’s not how you put somebody in their place. That’s how you motivate them to seek retribution, dad. And now you are here, you’re praising victoria’s actions?

Victor: Yeah. Why wouldn’t I? He got what he deserved.

Adam: And you thought that would be the end of it, right? Till he came back to town and you thought you had to make one more move to contain him.

Victor: Right.

Adam: So you put him in his place by having him arrested. You knew he was going to see his son, so you set him up.

Victor: You bet I set him up. I had michael baldwin put out a restraining order that I knew the bastard would cross. Of course, he did.

Adam: Well, now he’s out on bail, and he’s gunning for a fight. Why wouldn’t he be?

Victor: How do you know all this? Were you talking to ashland locke?

Adam: That’s your response after everything I said? Questioning me? You should be thanking me for letting you know. But, hey, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Victor: Do you think I’m even one iota impressed with a potential threat from ashland locke? Give me a break, son. Let that bastard try whatever he wants to. Came to the wrong address. I’m concerned about you, however.

Adam: Me? Oh, I’m the last person you should be worried about, dad.

Victor: [ Sighs ] Son… take some time off, come to your senses, and realize that this is where you belong. This is your family.

Adam: [ Sighs ] I just… I give up with you, dad. There’s no getting through to you. Ever.

Phyllis: What’s your offer?

Lily: Well, as you know, devon sold the gcac a while ago.

Phyllis: Mm, yeah, and right in time, diane jenkins has checked in to the athletic club.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Well, I don’t know her that well, but if devon had waited till after the merger, I would’ve told him to hold off and update the property.

Phyllis: Why is that?

Lily: Well, because I think that chancellor-winters needs an upscale, trendy hotel in this town, you know, one where devon’s artists, our musical artists, their entourage, a place where they can stay.

Phyllis: I love that.

Lily: Yeah.

Phyllis: I really do. I would love to partner with you on that. I mean, if we could come up with something that is, you know, satisfactory to both of us, some agreement that we like. But I would love the grand phoenix to be the exclusive hotel of chancellor-winters for all your vips and rock stars. In fact, you know what? We can come up with a rock-star version to the escape club.

Lily: I’m actually not looking for collaboration.

Phyllis: Okay, then what is this about?

Lily: I want to buy your hotel and make it a chancellor-winters property.

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ] You want to buy my hotel?

Lily: Look, I know this is a surprise. I know it is, but I’m just asking you to at least consider it.

Phyllis: I mean, you know why I call this the grand phoenix. It was my story. I am the phoenix rising from the ashes. I mean, it was my chance to show the world that I was a legitimate entrepreneur. I mean, it was my slap in the face to all the people here who didn’t think I amounted to anything.

Lily: Yeah, look, phyllis, i get it. I understand. I do. I know this is more than a business for you. I mean, your commitment and drive are what have made this place to be what it is. One that will get a pretty hefty price in a purchase. I mean, that’s legitimacy, too. And think about it. Think what you could do with the money. I mean, the freedom you would have. You could live your life any way that you want. You’ve already done so much with your career, right? You’ve been a webmaster, you’ve run a magazine, you’ve been an executive. I mean, this could be a new chapter in your life.

Phyllis: Well, the grand phoenix is my new chapter.

Lily: Yeah, but, I mean, this is a grind. This is hard work, you know? Wouldn’t you want a simpler life of luxury?

Phyllis: Well, I’m not ready to step away.

Lily: Well, maybe that’s ’cause you’ve never had any other option — until now. This is a proposal, okay, outlining an agreement with what I think is a more-than-generous bid.

Victoria: Who would’ve thought the silver lining to this whole mess would be you and me coming back to work together as a team?

Nick: Look, I know you’ve got big plans for the company, but can we just enjoy this moment right now before we got to jump right back into the fray?

Victoria: Oh. It looks like our break is already over.

Adam: I just came from the office. I was hoping to hear what the ultimate decision was about sally, but I ran into dad, who was no help whatsoever.

Nick: Well, you’ll be happy to know that we’ve decided sally’s going to remain as interim ceo of newman media.

Victoria: Yeah. Much to my surprise, she made an incredible case for herself.

Adam: Well, I’m sure she did because she’s the right person for the job. You guys would’ve regretted cutting her loose.

Nick: But you didn’T.

Adam: Well, as I mentioned earlier, sally and I, we were already having issues, or rather that i was having issues, and I informed her that it was over. Beyond that, it’s really nobody else’s business.

Nick: Seems like a touchy subject.

Adam: It is. So why don’t we just drop it? You don’t need to worry about my personal life. Right now, you should be worrying about the hell that is going to rain down on you. A lot of folks ask me why their dishwasher

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Ashley: I realize that you don’t know me very well, but I hope you can feel that my concern for you is genuine.

Allie: Ashley, I’m not questioning that at all.

Ashley: Okay. I’m glad. It’s so important to me that you have your eyes wide open where diane jenkins is concerned. Honestly, as long as her presence is here in this town, she will continue to inflict pain on our family. What is it? What are you thinking? I mean, honestly, express it, please. I promise you, it’s not going to affect our relationship at the lab or here. I promise.

Allie: Okay. Ashley, I just… I just want you to know that even though I may seem innocent or naive, I am anything but, and I won’t let anyone manipulate me. Not diane. Not phyllis. And not you. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go get ready for my date with noah.

Noah: Voil. All done. Perfect espressos on demand.

Sharon: Thanks. I owe you one.

Noah: Ah, we’ll call it even. I appreciated the advice. Came at a good time, too. Allie and I are going to the rooftop bar at the athletic club, and [Sighs] I’m just going to live in the moment and enjoy myself. You see how good I listen?

Sharon: Very wise. But do you have a little bit of time before your date?

Noah: Yeah, sure, you need help with something else?

Sharon: No, but I do have another piece of advice for you.

Noah: Okay.

Sharon: Before you meet allie, you need to call your father and talk about new hope. You have to tell him that you don’t want to stay.

Noah: Mom, look, I know, but —

Sharon: It’s just going to keep eating away at you until you do this. And he deserves to know the truth about how you feel. You can’t keep putting it off.

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Well, this is a very lucrative [Exhales slowly] Business offer. Wow. Very persuasive.

[ Chuckles ] This place is not about the money for me, so no is your answer.

Lily: Alright, alright. Well, listen, I hear you. I appreciate your feelings. I accept your answer for now, because I know that I sprung this on you out of the blue. But listen, please, just look it over. Think about it. Go through it thoroughly. Alright? Maybe you’ll change your mind.

Jack: Ladies, good to see you both.

Lily: Hello. You, too. I’d love to stay and chat, but i have to run, but catch up soon?

Jack: Yeah, I look forward to it.

Lily: Think about it.

Phyllis: [ Clears throat ] Is there more you wanted to talk to me about?

Jack: Please don’t read too much into my showing up. I got a call from the marchetti board asking that we meet here rather than at jabot. I think they want to talk over a meal. Their body clocks are a little thrown off by the time change.

Phyllis: Oh, okay. I —

Jack: So is the private dining room in the restaurant available?

Phyllis: It is. It is. I will double-check, but don’t worry about a thing. I’ll make sure all your guests are comfortable, and, you know… hey, you know what? There is something that I would like to run by you.

Jack: Oh, okay. Go ahead.

Phyllis: It’s lily. She just dropped a bomb on me and offered me this deal. I could use some business advice.

Jack: Okay. I have some time.

Adam: No matter how much you hate locke, having the guy arrested for simply seeing his son in the park is a vicious move.

Victoria: Nick and I had nothing to do with that. Although, it did send a very clear message.

Adam: Oh, he got the message, but apparently nobody decided to think about the consequences now that he’s been released, and he’s even angrier than he was before.

Nick: Well, I’m sure he knows we weren’t involved. Shouldn’t you be warning who was responsible?

Adam: [ Sighs ] I told dad, and he wasn’t fazed. He doesn’t let anything ashland do get under his skin. He doesn’t see the guy as a threat.

Nick: Well, you seem to know a lot about this. I’m assuming you’ve spoken to ashland.

Adam: That’s right.

Nick: When?

Adam: I paid him a visit not too long ago at the gcac, where he’s staying.

Nick: And why would you do that, adam?

Adam: I was hoping to find a man that was fired up about sabotaging newman enterprises. I was hoping that he was concocting some kind of corporate maneuver that would hit dad back. Just wanted to let him know that I would be more than happy to lend a hand.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Of course you were. What makes me wonder right now is why you’re even saying this to us. Not that we believe one word that comes out of your mouth, but, please, go ahead, finish what you were telling us. I’m sure it won’t be a problem later to find out what your true agenda is.

Adam: Well, my agenda came to a screeching halt when I learned he isn’t interested in the company. He’s going in an entirely different direction. I think he’s out for more than just revenge. I think he’s out for blood. For copd,

Nick: What do you mean ashland’s out for blood?

Adam: Look, I don’t know for sure. It’s not like he just came right out and admitted it, but the man has been stripped of everything that has ever mattered to him. He wasn’t ranting, he wasn’t raving or making threats, but he’s pretty messed up. He completely trashed his hotel room.

Victoria: My gosh. Even at his angriest, he’s never done anything like that.

Adam: Yeah, and when he mentioned “victor’s darling daughter,” he had a look in his eye that gave me a chill.

Victoria: Think he’s coming for me?

Adam: Like I said, he wasn’t specific, so I’m not certain what he will do. I just felt like you should know so you can be on guard.

Nick: Well, thank you for telling us, adam. I really appreciate it.

Adam: Yeah. [ Sighs ] Look, I know I am the last person you would trust about anything, and my feelings about you haven’t changed, either, but whatever our issues are, I don’t want to see anybody get hurt.

Phyllis: Chancellor-winters wants to buy the grand phoenix.

Jack: Really? Wow.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm.

Jack: Lily is not messing around here. This is significantly above market value. If you’re willing to entertain this, I don’t think you’re going to get a better offer, but it has to be something that you would want.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] I love running this place. And it’s not just about that. It’s just proving to the whole world that I did something successful. Plus all the memories I have here.

Jack: Yeah, there are some good memories. Some, not so much. I don’t think I can help you with this. This is a highly personal decision only you can make.

Phyllis: Right. Well, if it weren’t for summer, I’d definitely take this offer. But I just don’t feel like i belong in genoa city anymore.

Nick: Yeah, you’ll have that by the end of the day. Alright, bye.

[ Sighs ]

Victoria: You know, I hate to admit it, but adam’s concerns seemed very sincere, so do you think that ashland really has gone off the rails?

Nick: Yeah, my gut tells me adam was being real. I really think you should move to the ranch for the time being.

Victoria: No, nicholas, I am not going to let ashland have that control over me. Besides, I can’t imagine him honestly trying to hurt me.

Nick: You heard adam. It sounds like ashland has gone over the edge.

Victoria: Well, he may be upset, but that doesn’t mean he’s dangerously violent.

Nick: Adam said he destroyed his hotel room. This is something we have to take seriously. Just move to the ranch for a little while so we keep an eye on you.

Victoria: Alright, I’ll think about it. But I refuse to let ashland scare me.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Nick: Sorry. Excuse me. Hey, noah, what’s up?

Noah: Hey, just wanted to see if you were free right now.

Nick: No, but I can be. What’s going on?

Noah: I was hoping we can talk. I’m at crimson lights.

Nick: Yeah, okay. I’m on my way. That was noah. He needs to see me. I’ll drop you at the office.

Victoria: You go ahead. It’s a beautiful day. I think I’m going to take a walk.

Noah: What did we just talk about?

Victoria: Nicholas, you know that dad has a security detail watching me. They’re never that far away. So if something crazy happens, I’ll just call them. I’ll be fine. You don’t have to worry about me, okay? With depression, you just feel…blah.

Ashley: You look gorgeous. I hope you and noah have a great time tonight.

Allie: Thank you, ashley.

Ashley: Where you guys going to go?

Allie: We are going to the gcac rooftop pool bar.

Ashley: Ooh, nice. Definitely the most L.A.-Style nightlife you’re going to find around here, okay?

Allie: Trust me, noah is definitely way more into the nightlife stuff than I will ever be, but it seems like a pretty awesome place.

Ashley: I think it’s awesome that you found somebody you like to spend time with.

Allie: Ashley, please forgive me if I sounded harsh earlier.

Ashley: Please don’t apologize to me. Are you kidding? You were standing up for yourself, and you should. I have nothing but respect for a strong, independent woman. It’s a family trait.

Allie: Good. I’m glad that you weren’t offended.

Ashley: Not at all. You know, there’s going to be so many people with so many opinions in this town, and you being able to hold your own against all of that is going to serve you very well.

Nick: Here I am, as promised. Our boy did not say you were going to be a part of this conversation.

Sharon: That’s because I’m not. This is between the two of you. Can I get you something to drink? Maybe espressos since noah just fixed the espresso machine for me?

Nick: I’m good. Thanks. What’s up?

Nick: Why don’t we take it out to the patio so we can talk in private?

[ Sighs ]

Nick: This is a patio talk?

Noah: Yeah.

Nick: Alright, come on.

Noah: Thanks for coming by so quickly. Why don’t you take a seat?

Nick: Whew! So this is the patio talk, and you want me to sit down? Whatever you’re about to tell me, I’m not going to like, am I?

Noah: [ Sighs ]

Jack: If you’re trying to back me into a corner, it’s not going to work. Keep the hotel. Sell it. Stay in genoa city. Go. It is none of my business.

Phyllis: Okay, so the fact that I love you, that doesn’t matter?

Jack: No, it is everything. That is the problem. I have never stopped loving you. Why do you think it hurts so damn much?

Victoria: That’s right. I think that we can lower the budget by at least 25% if we simplify the building design. No, no, I know, I hate losing the atrium, too, but it doesn’t bring any real value to the project. Nothing worthwhile, anyway. We’ll talk about it tomorrow. Okay. Bye.

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

all you’ve been doing is telling me what you think I want to hear. So why? What do you — what do you want from me? To get to know you better. So, instead of asking me what I’m looking for, you’re selling a version of the guy you think I want? I’m rusty at dating. Uh, no, you’re not. You’re as smooth as they come, but at least you’re transparent. Even an idiot would be able to see what you’re really after. Congratulations, detective. It’s a great performance. What do you want? I want to know… have you considered a career in music? Only recently. I see something in you. It’s good raw material. It needs refining, but it’s still there. It’s lucky for you I was here tonight. In fact, I think it was fate. Perhaps I’ve been a tad overprotective. Yes. Yes, you have. Austin is a good man, and you need to start being nice to him. Now! Very well. Consider it done. Why? What is going on? Nary a thing. Then why did you just so easily agree to do what I told you to? Well, you know I can refuse you nothing. That is absolutely not true. So, you’re gonna actually get along with austin? Yes. And lay off my relationship? I shall neither interfere nor opine. Thank you.

[ Inhales deeply ] With great reservation and trepidation, of course. There it is! Spinelli, back off. Okay? Wait — you have no reason to doubt austin. Oh, I have an incontrovertible reason. Ugh! What is it? He’s not who you think he is. What the hell are you doing here? You stopped responding. As such, you forced our hand. O-okay.

[ Sighs ] If I promise to be more responsive, will you just stop doing things that I have to respond to? Unfortunately, it’s too late for that. I’m here to deliver a message. Which is what? Your time is up. How’s, uh… how’s trina? She’s resting. Finally. Um… today at court, it just… it really rattled her. Yeah, that D.A. Arden. She sure knows how to twist a narrative to fit her purposes. Well, she’s doing her job, but… yeah, well, she doesn’t have to be so damn good at it. The reason she’s good at it is because she actually believes that she’s right. We just need to prove otherwise. Right.

[ Door o man, you two should have heard epiphany sing tonight! Man! I — oh. I take it things didn’t go too well today, huh? Diane did great.

[ Sighs ] It looks like our side is the one that’s gonna need the miracle. So please, um, please tell me our bartender lead is not dead.

[ Dramatic music plays ] What is this place? Try to hide your disdain, princess. We can’t all live in a castle on an island. Well, I won’t be there which is why I came to tell you in person. I no longer have a boyfriend. Or access to his money. Is that right? Huh! Then you can’t afford my silence.

I don’t believe in fate. Okay, hang on. I know you’re not my biggest fan. That’s an understatement. Yeah, but you don’t have to like me to trust that I know the music business. And I don’t just throw out idle compliments. Oh, I know. I hear how you talk to brook lynn. She’s a big girl. She can take it. What do you want? A joint venture. Between you and me? Being a musician is a lot of hard work. But the rewards. The money. Women. Any life you want to live. When you’re a star, everything is possible. And with the right management, that’s what you’ll be. Brook lynn: Then it’s a good thing he has me. So, ava believes that esme showed the bad guy a way off the island. Yeah. So he could be anywhere. Well, I mean, we know where he’s not. He never went back to his apartment, and he didn’t go to the motel. And how do you know that for sure? We have eyes on the apartment. He paid off a clerk to spy for us at the motel. According to the clerk, before the bartender suddenly took off, he left a lot of personal belongings behind. For a few more dollars, he agreed to leave the door unlocked so I can do some searching. And I-I really don’t mean to sound impatient, but what are we waiting for, then? Well, we went there earlier, but a different clerk was on duty. But our guy works tonight, so I’m about to head there now. There’s got to be something we could use. And what if there isn’t? I mean, I’m trying to have faith here, but what if this doesn’t pan out? I mean, trina… baby. Baby. She’S… I know. I know. Your breakup sounds like a “you” problem.

[ Sighs ] It’s also a “you” problem if I no longer have access to spencer or his family’s money. What about your own money? It’s tied up in a trust.

[ Chuckles ] Cry me a river. Mm! You’re all heart. Says the girl whining about her trust fund while I’m holed up in this place, all to take cover from people looking for the goods on you. Hell, at this point, I might just let them find me. That would be very stupid. You could go to prison. I’d cut a deal. And what could you possibly have to offer them? What do you think? You can let yourself out.

[ Exhales sharply ] Austin: “My time is up”?

[ Laughing ] Seriously? Have you been binge-watching film noir? Laugh all you want. Just do it on your way back to pautuck. I’m not going anywhere. This is nonnegotiable. Good, ’cause I’m not negotiating with you. I don’t answer to you. No, you don’T. But you do answer to my boss. Okay, spinelli. Tell me. Who is austin gatlin-holt, M.D.? Very well. Austin gatlin-holt, M.D. Is… …a perfectly decent man with an above-average intellect and an admirable fico score. And…? That’s it. How a-are you making this sound like a bad thing? Because you have absolutely no future with such a man. That makes no sense, spinelli. And who are you to decide that for me? Okay, I just know. Even if you think otherwise. What is really going on with you? You have been acting squirrelly for weeks, and I’m not the only one that’s noticed. And that’s where I shall take my leave. Being compared to rodentia is where I draw the line. Since when?! Come on, spinelli. I know you. Better than you think. Okay. I-I can explain — mnh. Don’t bother. Instead, allow me to explain you to you. Okay. Give it to me. You — you actually thought a few tired clichés about marriage and babies would get me in between the sheets with you? Man, did you have this wrong!

[ Chuckling ] What is so funny?! It’s — it’s — this is funny? No. No, it’s not. It’s just, you are so way off. The truth is, and this is gonna blow your mind, but… I was just trying to impress you.

[ Scoffs ] My mind is not blown, cody. You were trying to impress me… uh-huh. …By pretending to be someone even more banal than who you really are? Okay, you obviously don’t date much. Can’t imagine why. So, I’m just gonna call it. This so-called date, time of death — right now. You are a — a counterfeit casanova. Not to mention a complete waste of my time. So trot on out of my life, cowboy. You and the horse you rode in on.

[ Chuckling ] It’s funny you don’t like horses, considering you’re such a nag. I’m sorry. I’m sorry, britt. I shouldn’t have said that —

[ Laughing ] Yep! Ahh.

I’m sorry. For filming that couple having sex and making it go viral? Or for stiffing me? I am apologizing because I have been acting like a spoiled little rich girl. I’ve been handed things in life, and someone like you — oh, careful. Someone who supported himself through law school and managed to still graduate at top of his class. That is what I meant.

[ Scoffs ] You looked into me? Mm. As you said, thank god social media. And I must say — what I found was very impressive. Seems to me you’re mistaking flattery for cash. I’m not. I’m simply asking for a little time. You may not have it. Those guys who tracked me down before seemed pretty determined. Were they cops? No. Well, one was an ex-cop. Tall, built dude. They said they were friends of my buddy jack. So I gave him a ring. The guy he vouched for is named marshall. Last name ashford?

[ Sighs ] I’m so sorry. Um…

[ Sniffles ] I know that you’re doing everything that you possibly can to help. I’m just, um… a parent. It’s what you are — yeah. …Portia, a parent. And I’m terrified for my daughter. Well… I hate to break it to you, but when this is over — and it will be over, and trina, she’s going to be just fine — the worry… no, that’s not going to stop. Thank you. Thank you, really. Both of you. Baby, you never have to thank me for looking out for trina, okay? I will always protect her as if she were my own. I’m gonna tell you what I’ll find at the motel. Okay? Mm-hmm. Want me to drive? Uh…can I talk to you real quick? Sure.

[ Sighs ] Can you stay here? Well, I want to help wherever I can. Yeah. Right. I think the best way you can help is by keeping portia company. Yeah. Yeah, I got it. I got it. Hey. Keep us posted. Thanks.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Dramatic music plays ] Why are you still here? I had to talk with your buddy chase. Yeah, I heard you going on and on about how you think chase can be a star. You don’t agree? Oh, I don’t think chase has star quality — i know he does. Guess I’m the odd man out. His modesty is part of his appeal. I agree. Which is why I think we could market the hell out of this wholesome “aw, shucks” vibe you got going. He’s not interested. Will you let the man speak for himself? Any business talk should go through his manager. You’re repped? You didn’t say. Who are you signed with? Hello? You’re looking at her. Ms. Wu. Please, I insist you call me selina.

[ Breathes sharply ] Very well. Why are you at my house, selina?

[ Scoffs ] We’re at least 500 yards away. A distinction without a difference. Football players, architects, and surveyors would all disagree. Fair enough. But you still haven’t told me — I ordered my driver to park well away from the home you share with portia, trina, and marshall. I respect your family, curtis. It’s unfortunate others don’t feel as I do. She sent a message. “Your gambit in port charles has failed. It’s time to return to the fold.” And you’re here to make sure that happens? Physically, if I have to. What if I’m not ready to go? Well, I guarantee there will be consequences. Your friend maxie — she’s, uh, right inside, isn’t she?

[ Dramatic music plays ] Is whatever you’re into a threat to our daughter? No. No, no, no. This — this has nothing to do with georgie. And what exactly is “this,” spinelli? I need to know you’re not into something dangerous. I need to know that you’re not chasing some adrenaline rush by getting into trouble. And, yes, I will continue to badger you until you tell me, so you might as well. Okay. I’m behind society setups!

Hi. Hey. You seen brad around? No. Sorry. Nice chat. Yeah. Who’s your friend? He’s not really — I mean, I don’t — I don’t know that guy. He just asked me for a light. Well, it seemed like one intense casual chat. Well [Sighs] Yeah, I mean… you know, I am a doctor, so… couldn’t help myself — it was a little bit of a sermon about the ill effects of smoking. But, you know, we’re all addicts, right? Nobody wants to hear that they should stop doing the bad thing that they know is bad for them. Mm. Okay.

[ Laughs ]

[ Chuckles ] Well, at least you were honest. That’s more than I can say about some people. Talking about anyone in particular? Um, yeah, I might be. I mean, is it too much to ask for a man to just be open and honest these days? What do you mean you’re behind society s– what?

[ Whispeng ] What do you mean you’re behind society setups? Look… exactly that. Society setups is owned and operated by yours truly. It’s my… it’s my brainchild. If this is your company, who is this zelda person? She’s just a figurehead. An outward face. But the methodology is — is all mine. Are you telling me you are combing through hundreds of dating profiles and matching them? Well, n-n-not quite. I… I developed an algorithm designed to find someone’s perfect match. And — and our success rate is far above the average of all other similar services. And that’s how I know that you and austin are not a match. How would you know that when we never even signed up? Well — don’t answer that. And if this algorithm is so great, how come britt keeps meeting losers? Oh… did y’all see that? Who does she think she is? Okay, granted, I shouldn’t have called her a nag. That was a little mean. Also, she’s a little unworthy of being compared to a horse. You can back me up on that, right?

[ Sighs ] She didn’t keep an open mind. She’s clearly never tried to love a horse, much less a cowboy. And to top it all off, she called me, what — a counterfeit casanova! Although, given what I’m up to… she may not be wrong. You’re his manager? Exclusive contract. Done deal? You bet. We technically haven’t signed anything yet. We have an agreement. We do. In writing? Like, on a napkin? It’s like a verbal agreement. What, like a handshake? Like his word, which actually means something, unlike yours. You know what they say about verbal agreements, chase? They’re not worth the paper they’re written on. Your word is your bond. That’s what you always say. Unless you’re having second thoughts, chase. I’m sorry, brook lynn, but I’m not entirely convinced that this is what I want. But we’ve been over this. You know what? This isn’t the time or place to have this conversation. Maybe we should go somewhere private to discuss it. Chase. Look, I know we got off to a bad start, but you’re a good guy. You’re a loyal guy. You’ve got a knight in shining armor vibe going on. Me? I got none of that. No. You’re full of slime. Why don’t you go glide off on it? What i do have is an ear and a head for business. What? Like I don’t? You tell me, brook lynn. Who owns most of your songs? I assume trina’s trial is keeping you away from the club. The savoy is being well looked after, but, um… yeah, I have some other priorities at the moment. As you should. What’s happening to your family is terrible. By all accounts, trina is above reproach. So you’ve done your homework. Reputation, good or bad, precedes us. Trina is an admirable young woman. Now, at the risk of seeming impolite, I have somewhere to be. So, what business brings you here, exactly? Oh, I’m not here on business. I’m here to help. Oz: Yeah, that’s him.

[ Sighing ] Curtis ashford. Ex-cop, ex-P.I, now owner of the savoy. Fancy. How do you know him? He’s involved with trina robinson’s mother. The girl on trial. The entire family has it in for me. They can’t accept that trina did this awful thing.

[ Sarcastically ] Right. Let me ask you — if you’re so innocent, what are you doing here? If you admit you sold me a phone — any phone, for that matter — they would find a way to twist it and use it against me. Definitely a “you” problem. And just when I thought we were becoming friends.

[ Sighs ] What kind of law do you want to study? Environmental. Mm! Smart, resourceful, cares about the planet. Under different circumstances… circumstances where you weren’t trying to work me? Mm. And you weren’t trying to extort me.

[ Sighs ] If we could both be arrested at any moment, we may as well enjoy ourselves. How about we start with a drink? Aren’t you a little underage?

[ Chuckles ] Are you carding me? It’s not like we both aren’t on the hook for much, much worse. Stay here.

Oz: Sorry it’s not top shelf. It gets the job done.

[ Glasses clink ] Did your boyfriend dump you over this whole phone business? Who says he dumped me? Well, he lives in a mansion on a private island. Stands to reason you didn’t get rid of him. Spencer is faithless and weak. And me… I’m done with boys. My room is just in back. Can you top me off first? You won’t run off? Oh, not a chance. I can’t wait for what comes next.

[ Chuckles ] Can I get you a drink? Thank you, but I, uh… I don’t think even that will help me at this point. Eh, it may not help you, but it might show these poor floors some mercy. Ohh. You’re about to wear a tread in them. I just thought we would have heard from curtis by now. And how long do you think he’s been gone?

[ Exhales shakily ] Longer than I’d like. Portia. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen my son in action, but I got to watch him today, and he was a sight to behold. He must have made a da mn fine P.I.[ Chuckles ] So if there’s anything out there to find, he’s going to find it. I know, I know. It’s just that… so much hinges on this evidence. And if he doesn’t find it… okay. Instead of focusing on what trina’s defense lacks, let’s look at what she’s got going for her. Okay. Alright. Stellar reputation. Mm-hmm. Right? Glowing accounts from friends, two of whom are her alleged victims. Yes, that’s right. Impeccable grades and an otherwise unblemished history. Yes, she does have all of those things. But you were a pretty upstanding citizen when you were arrested. No — weren’t you?

[ Laughs ] No, no, no. I was a troublemaker. Good trouble, though. Well, that depends on who you asked. No, I, um… I didn’t have any legal representation. Trina, she’s in a much better position than I ever was. But what concerns me a-at a whole other level more than the legal aspect is the emotional toll that it’s taking on her. And I-I know my little girl. I know that she’s strong. But is she equipped, you know? Is she equipped for the emotional stress of all of this? Why wouldn’t she be? You were asking questions at the highsider about a certain bartender slash black-market goods dealer? I can point you in his direction. How do you know all of this? Have I surprised you?

[ Breathes deeply ] Just a little bit. You still don’t understand how far my reach extends. I’m starting to. So, I take it you have informants at the highsider. Even better. I own it. Ms. Wu, is there an enterprise in port charles that you don’t have a stake in? I see I’ve impressed you. How gratifying. Out of respect for our partnership, I had my people look into this. If you want to know where this man is, just say the word. And what’s in it for you? I knew I shouldn’t go. I knew it would turn out terrible. But I went against my better judgment, and he was completely disingenuous. Maybe he was just trying too hard.

[ Scoffs ] To what? Shovel manure my way because he ran out of room in the barn? Britt, you’re a beautiful, impressive, accomplished woman. That terrifies some guys. He’s just — a horse’s ass? …Not in your league. Then what’s the point? More specifically, why bother me? Well, call me crazy, but maybe he likes you.

[ Scoffs ] You’re crazy. Britt, if you don’t want to date anybody, just don’t date anybody. Try telling that to my mother. Okay. So, y-you know the — the trouble with people? Uh, there’s too many to pick just one. A lot of times, we allow other people’s expectations to dictate our lives. But the good news is — and there is some good news — we don’t owe anything to anybody but ourselves. You sound like you have experience with that.

[ Both laugh ] Yeah. Don’t we all?

[ Laughing ] But my — my framework is sound, though there are one or two inherent flaws, which is why my program is still in beta. And I refuse to go to the next version until I crack it. Why keep this a secret? Well… clients trust companies more than they trust people. Spinelli. Do you think people wouldn’t use the service because it’s yours? Well…

[ Chuckles lightly ] Look at me, maxie. I’M… I’m awkward. I’m idiosyncratic. Those are good qualities. How is awkward good? It beats being arrogant! You’re also the kindest, smartest, most perceptive person I’ve ever known. And just because I want to make up my own mind about austin doesn’t mean I don’t trust your judgment. Spinelli, if I were single, I would totally trust you with my heart. Austin: Hey! What are you two up to?

[ Laughs nervously ] This is just like you, linc. First you poach my songs, now you’re trying to poach my singer. I can’t take something from you that isn’t yours. That’s enough. My hesitation to sign with brook lynn isn’t because of any lack of faith I have in her. I completely believe in her. Then what’s the hesitation? Because I don’t know if I believe in myself. But I do know one thing for sure. I would never, ever sign with you.

[ Scoffs lightly ] Never say never. Your friend here, she has a talent for scribbling lyrics, but she’s not ready for the big time. She never will be. If a parasite like you can do it, how hard can it be?

Chase, between my songs and your voice and our shared vision, what more do we need? So much more. You need established industry contacts and resources, both of which I have access to. With the — the right a&r development team, wardrobe, and a whole cadre of experienced songwriters, I think you’ll be amazed at what I can do for your career. That is a good argument, linc. Then again, you are also an amoral, unrepentant sleaze. Which is exactly what it takes to make it in this business. Along with everything else I bring to the table. None of which miss blq has. You can’t honestly be considering this, chase. Okay. How about this? Don’t sign with either one of us. Give me 30 days. Give us 30 days. Let us show you what we can do, and then decide. Chase, please. Fine. If it’ll get you off my back. 30 days. I’ll be in touch. We were just [Chuckles] Talking about childcare. Britt, you look really nice. Thanks. I was on a date. From society setups.

[ Gasps ] Oh! How’d it go? Let’s just say I’ll never get those two hours back. I mean, were you receptive to the gentleman in question?

[ Scoffs ] What gentleman? Where’s brad? Is everything okay? You were on that call for a while — yeah, yeah, I had to check in with a patient, then I got to chatting with britt. Spinelli: Society setups is an elite service, and any client… maxie, did I miss something? No.

[ Chuckling ] No. Just spinelli being spinelli. …Must treat his or her date with courtesy! W-why do you keep supporting this stupid service, spinelli?! Okay, just as a — as A…

[ Sighs ] Let me just point out, as a fellow member, that the fine print pledges to send matches till you’re 100% satisfied. Okay, you know what? I refuse to spend another moment on this. I’m gonna do what I should have done after that disastrous mixer — sue society setups and put them out of business forever. It’s just that too often we equate strength and wellness. And I don’t want to assume that this isn’t gonna have a negative impact on trina’s mental well-being. Well, um…

[ Chuckles ] Having schizophrenia doesn’t make me an expert on mental well-being, but it does make me more in tune to people who are struggling. And I haven’t sensed any of that in trina. You, um, said that you didn’t have any obvious symptoms before your breakdown, is that right? Paranoia, and, of course, thinking that the government was coming to get me.

[ Both chuckle ] But those symptoms, they — they only became obvious when I looked back on them. But what if she is, um… you know, burying her emotions? She’s covering up her trauma. And all that’s gonna do, sooner or later, it’s gonna blow up on her, right? Hey. If that happens… we’re just going to have to put her back together. In the meantime, we’ll annoy the heck out of her with our concern. Hey, hey. If trina needs our help, we’re going to make sure she gets it. “We,” huh? Yeah, we. We’re family, right? Family is important. This man is key to helping yours. I appreciate the offer, but, uh… I have leads of my own, thank you. And only so much time to follow them. I can give you an address tonight. The trial is well under way, curtis. While I respect your caution, time is of the essence. The gentleman in question could be gone again tomorrow. And then where will trina be? Is it not worth weathering any compunction to save her?

[ Dramatic music plays ]

[ Breathes deeply ] Uh…drink up! Then you can show me your room. You sure your ex won’t storm in here? Oh, he doesn’t care about me. Not anymore.

[ Groans ] Besides, doesn’t matter now. He was just a means to an end. Mm. What end? Feeling alright? Oh, it’s nothing. Never trust cheap tequila. Or a woman scorned. What? My ex had the audacity to think that he could play me. But I was onto him. People constantly underestimate me. It’s so frustrating. Level with me.

[ Clears throat ] Did you shoot that video? What do you think?

[ Sighs ] I think you’re the type who’s always looking out for number one. Mm. We have that in common.

[ Sighs ] Yeah. You… you never know what —

[ Groans ]

[ Slurring ] …What people are capable of. Ain’t that the truth. Mm.

[Edgy music]

Chanel: Horton, wait. I am so sorry you had to see that.

Johnny: I’m not.

Paulina: Oh, ha ha ha! Hi! Abe. Ha ha. Abe the babe. How was your day?

Abe: Well, it’s a lot better now.

[Both laughing] Oh, I see you, uh, put out big mama’s good china, huh? So what’s the occasion? Chanel planning on some celebration?

Paulina: Mm. Chanel isn’t joining us for dinner. We’re having a surprise guest.

Abe: Oh!

Chloe: Hey. I hope this is okay.

Shawn: Yeah. Come on in.

Chloe: I come bearing gifts. Or rather one gift for the baby.

[Both chuckling] Oh, can I hold him?

Shawn: Yeah. Here you go.

[Baby fussing]

[Shawn chuckling]

Chloe: Hi buddy. You are precious, aren’t you?

Shawn: Let’s open this up. What is this? What–[Laughs]

Chloe: Um, it’s a velcro pacifier holder. It’s the newest in baby tech. Trust me we didn’t have that when parker was little. I’m very envious right now.

Shawn: Aww. Well, thank you, chloe.

Chloe: You’re welcome. Listen, shawn. I know what it’s like to be a single parent, and I know it’S…it’s not easy. But just know that you’re not alone. You have me and you have belle.

Shawn: Well, I, uh, I guess you didn’t get the memo. Uh, belle doesn’t want anything to do with little shawn, and, uh, now that she’s sleeping with ej, she doesn’t want anything to do with me either.

Belle: Hey.

Brady: Hey, you. Dad or marlena are not here. I don’t know if you wanted to see them, but–

Belle: No, I came to see my big brother.

Brady: You did? That is a pleasant surprise.

[Phone rings] I like that. And this is not a pleasant surprise. This is statesville.

[Ringing] Okay.

[Beep] Yeah. I’ll accept. Kristen?

Kristen: [Huffs] Who else would I be?

Brady: What do you want?

Kristen: Well, you…you said once I got settled in here, you’d think about bringing rachel to see me, and I’m officially settled in. I miss our daughter so much, brady. I really need to see her.

Evan: [Sighs]

Orpheus: Stop pacing. You’re making me dizzy.

Evan: You’re dizzy? My head won’t stop spinning. I already lost one son, dad. Jan trying to make off with my other one? You can’t blame me for being upset. Thank god they stopped her. Now that she’s outta the picture–dead or on the run or whatever she is– I’m supposed to just sit by and watch shawn brady raise my kid? I can’t let that happen. I have to get outta here.

Orpheus: And I told you, you will.

Evan: But when? You said it could take weeks, months!

Orpheus: Or…[Exhales] It could be today.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Abe: So who is this special guest supposed to be?

Paulina: Nope. Mm-mm. No spoilers, as kids say. You’ll just have to wait and see.

Abe: Ah. Ah. [Sniffs] I smell bacon?

Paulina: You and that keen nose of yours. Bacon-wrapped pork-loin.

Abe: Ooh. Well, this must be some kind of special guest, isn’t it?

Paulina: Mm. Buckle up honey.

[Both laughing]

[Knock on door]

Abe: I got it.

Paulina: Ah, here we go.

Abe: I got it. Governor mitchell?

Paulina: Ha ha ha ha ha! Oh, thank you. Thank you so much for joining us this evening.

Mitchell: Well, when paulina price calls, I answer. Is that bacon I smell?

Paulina: Ha ha ha ha ha! I know it’s your favorite.

Abe: So you two… know each other?

Paulina: Oh, well, we’ve crossed paths a time or two. Now, abraham, don’t get your nose out of joint. Governor mitchell and I were old friends, but I asked him here for you.

Abe: For me?

Paulina: Mm-hmm. As you know, ed here–excuse me, governor mitchell will be leaving office at the end of his term. And his endorsement would go a long way in deciding the next election. And, well, I was hoping that you’d endorse abraham.

Mitchell: Mayor carver, I hadn’t realized you were interested in running for governor.

Abe: Neither did I.

Channel: Johnny was just–

Johnny: Proposing… to the woman that I love.

Allie: What?

Jonny: Look, I told chanel that I don’t wanna hide how I feel anymore, that I love her and I wanna marry her–

[Thump] Ohh! [Coughs]

Chloe: Belle isn’t sleeping with ej anymore.

Shawn: Well, only because sami found out, and then she paul revered it all the way to my doorstep because she couldn’t wait to tell me the news.

Chloe: She wanted to tell you herself. I know that.

Shawn: You know, what, chloe, it doesn’t matter–it doesn’t matter how I found out. What matters is my wife… my wife belle cheated on me again. And, uh, this time I think it’s over.

Brady: I can’t bring rachel to see you right now.

Kristen: What? Well, why not?

Brady: Oh, for one thing, she’s in california.

Kristen: She’s where?

Brady: We went to visit tate and theresa in california. And she was having such a good time hanging with her brother, going to the beach… she begged me to stay a little longer. So I discussed it with theresa and–

Kristen: You left my kid in california in the care of that maniac? You didn’t even think to talk to me first?

Brady: Theresa’s a good mom.

Kristen: And, what, I’m not? Is that what you’re saying?

Brady: Look, kristen–

Kristen: So she’s braiding rachel’s hair, reading her bedtime stories, building sandcastles at the beach while I’m stuck–

Brady: It is not theresa’s fault that you’re in statesville, okay? And it’s not mine, and it’s definitely not your daughter’S.

Kristen: I am her mother, brady. Me. Not her. You can’t keep my daughter away from me.

Brady: Kristen you know what? I’m not gonna do this. I’m not gonna do this. I will talk to you later.

[Beep]

Belle: So…how’s kristen?

Kristen: Ugh!

[Loud thud]

Evan: What the–

[Thud]

Orpheus: The cell block C. Those ladies are always fighting over the remote. Look, son… you need to relax. Things are falling into place for us. See, before jan went, uh, swimming with the fishes, she provided us with a very valuable service. She came through with a password to the salem pd mainframe. My guys have been digging and digging… and they finally hit pay dirt.

Evan: Really?

Orpheus: Yeah. We’re gonna be outta here soon. You keep that under your hat, boy. Just go do your shift in the infirmary and play it cool, right? Don’t do anything that could jeopardize your release. You got it? Smooth sailing, son.

Evan: That’s great news. You got it, dad. Smooth sailing.

Kristen: [Moans] Uhh! Where’s the damn doctor?

Evan: I can get you some ice for your hand while you wait.

Kristen: Oh, right, right, ’cause, that’s what passes for medical attention here? Ice?

Evan: Only the best for america’s incarcerated. It’s what I can do for you for now. The average wait time here is two to three weeks. So suit yourself.

Kristen: Great.

Evan: Who’d you clock?

Kristen: The wall was looking at me funny. You know, what is it to you?

Evan: All right. If you don’t wanna talk about it… we just heard the commotion and thought you girls were fighting over the remote again.

Kristen: Oh my god. Gimme a break. Us girls? Eavesdrop much, sonny boy?

Evan: Forget I mentioned it.

Kristen: Hey, I was upset. I, uh, I miss my little girl and I…just don’t know when I’m ever gonna see her again.

Evan: Sorry to hear that. I know exactly how you feel.

Chloe: Shawn, I know that you are hurt and you’re angry and you have every right to be.

Shawn: Listen, please. I don’t want to hear that it wasn’t technically cheating just because we were separated. It doesn’t make a difference to me, all right, I didn’t even want to be separated in the first place.

Chloe: I know that. But you have to try to understand belle’s side of this.

Shawn: I was the one who was assaulted–me. And then she’s acting like I cheated on her. I mean, come on.

Chloe: Belle understands that what happened between you and jan was not in your control. But what was in your control was letting her know that you’d had sex with jan, and you could have controlled your reaction to finding out that jan was having your baby. But what did you do? You helped her get outta prison. You moved her in here. Belle saw that.

Shawn: Yeah, but belle had already moved out.

Chloe: Well, of course she did, temporarily, to wrap her mind around all this madness. And then jan starts having labor pains and asks you to keep belle away from her, and you did that.

Shawn: Yeah, because jan is carrying my baby. I mean, what am I supposed to do? I was looking out for his health.

Chloe: What about looking out for your marriage?

Belle: I’m sorry, brady. It’s so hard when a child’s involved.

Brady: The only thing that matters right now is what’s best for rachel. She’s getting older. Think she’s developing these little anxieties. Everything petrifies her. Even g-rated movies. She made me stop “snow white” the other day.

Belle: Well, that evil queen is pretty scary.

Brady: I just don’t think statesville prison is the right place for a kid, especially rachel right now. She can’t handle it.

Belle: Yeah. I don’t know, brady. You’ll figure it out, you know? It’s not a sprint. It’s a marathon.

Brady: Well, I’m exhausted, belle.

Belle: But you only have your whole life left to run it, so there’s that.

Brady: So comforting. How are you doing?

Belle: Ah…

Brady: I mean, what do we have to talk about?

Belle: Wow. Well, how am i doing? Um… my husband has a son with a low-life criminal, and we’re separated. And ej and I are through. And I’m staying with your girlfriend, which I’m sure now that you’re back in town, you greatly appreciate. But other than that, can’t complain.

Brady: I assume it didn’t go too well when you told shawn about you and ej, right?

Belle: Ah, yes. That’s the other thing. I didn’t tell shawn. Sami did. She beat me to it and…wow. She took great pleasure in spilling the beans. As if things between us weren’t bad enough already.

Brady: So what’s the deal then? I mean, with jan outta the way, I guess the question is, do you want to try to work out things with shawn or not?

Johnny: [Coughing] What is your problem?

Allie: Chanel asks us to back off, so you sneak behind my back and give her an engagement ring?

Johnny: Oh, did you not just come here to see chanel?

Allie: Not with an engagement ring, you weirdo. No. I came to see my best friend, my best friend because I just got some really upsetting news.

Chanel: What happened, allie?

Allie: I just found out that my grandma kate knew what my dad did, that he kidnapped our mom.

Johnny: What?

Allie: Yeah. I mean, she didn’t find out until after mom was rescued, but still…

Johnny: Oh my god. So she covered for lucas, and then he turns around and kills aunt abigail?

Allie: No, he didn’t do that, okay, or at least–I don’t know. I don’t think he did that. Grandma marlena hypnotized him, and he uncovered a memory that might clear him.

Chanel: Okay. That’s great.

Johnny: Yeah, he still kidnapped our mom. Okay? He admitted it to us all. And then he had the nerve to plead not guilty. Or did he come up with a memory to get him outta that too?

Allie: Are you trying to ruin every part of my life? Do you want my dad to go to prison? Is that what you want?

Chanel: Just stop. Stop. Both of you.

Mitchell: You didn’t have paulina reach out to me about an endorsement?

Abe: No.

Paulina: Abraham’s such a humble man. I knew he’d need a little push. You’ve seen what he’s done here in salem. Now just imagine what he could do for the whole state.

Mitchell: You’ve got yourself quite the representative here.

Abe: Mm.

[Phone rings]

Mitchell: Oh. Excuse me.

[Beep] Yeah. Yes, hello?

Orpheus: Governor mitchell?

[Ominous chords] This is milo harp.

Mitchell: Who?

Orpheus: You might know me by the name orpheus.

Mitchell: I don’t know how you got this number, but I’m hanging up.

Orpheus: I got your number from your personnel file.

Mitchell: You what?

Orpheus: You might want to hear what I have to say, governor.

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis persists…

Chanel: I said I needed time and both of you agreed, but instead of being patient and honoring that, you two are acting like contestants on “the bachelorette”– bickering and squabbling. I heard you were even going at it at your mom’s wedding.

Johnny: Chanel, you just told me you love me.

Allie: What?

Chanel: It’s not news, johnny. I love you. And I love allie too. I just, I–

Allie: Need time? Well, how much chanel? Okay? ‘Cause, it’s been weeks, and we’re trying to be patient. At least I am, but come on. I mean, we can’t go on like this.

Johnny: I agree with my sister for once. You need to make a choice chanel. Now.

Shawn: Belle doesn’t want to raise jan’s kid. She doesn’t–she doesn’t see him as an innocent baby. She can’t separate him from– from, you know, from everything. And to be honest, chloe, I didn’t think that I could either. And…then I saw him and, uh, looked into his eyes and he’s my boy. And, you know, steve and kayla keep offering to babysit, but… I don’t wanna be separated from him. You know, especially since I almost lost him.

Chloe: Yeah. I get that. And he really is beautiful. But I guarantee you, the moment that bella holds him in her arms, her heart is just– it’s gonna melt.

Shawn: Yeah, well, it’s gonna be kind of difficult considering she can’t be in the same room as him.

Chloe: Well, she’S…she’s upset, shawn. And I know that you’re upset too. But as someone who had a front-row seat to you two falling in love all those years ago, I’ve just…I’ve always believed that you and belle… you’re meant to be together.

Belle: Do I wanna work things out with shawn?

[Huffs] Of course, I do. He’s the love of my life. And I know now that sleeping with ej was a huge mistake.

Brady: Ohh… I am so proud of you for figuring that out all on your own.

Belle: Brady, our problems started way before ej was in the picture, okay? I know that it’s not that baby’s fault, but… listen, I wish I could be the better person and just suck it up and forget that that little boy belongs to jan and shawn, but honestly… I don’t think I can do that.

Kristen: Oh, you’re evan frears, right? You have a son commissioner hernandez was raising for a while.

Evan: Unfortunately, my sister took him halfway around the world. I don’t know when I’ll see him again, but…I have another newborn son too, and I’m gonna be with him very soon.

Kristen: Ohh… wh-hold on. I thought the policy here was no visitors under two.

Evan: Well, I didn’t say that.

Kristen: Hey… are you saying that, uh, you’re getting outta here?

Evan: Yeah. I’m, uh… up for parole in a couple of weeks.

Kristen: Ha. No, you’re not. You have a rap sheet almost as long as mine, and you just got back here, after a prison break no less. I’m well aware of those consequences.

Evan: How do you know so much about me?

Kristen: Well, apparently you don’t know who you’re talking to. You see, I’m kristin dimera. I know all. And what I don’t know, I make it a point to finding out. So, mr. Evan frears, tell me. How are you getting outta here to see your son?

Orpheus: Are you still there?

Mitchell: How did you get access to confidential records?

Orpheus: Tip of the iceberg, governor. You might have thought you buried the, uh, the anderson file deep, but I’m afraid it looks like you’re sunk.

Mitchell: You son of a–

Orpheus: Easy there, ed. You might want to consider who you’re talking to. I know everything you did.

Mitchell: What do you want?

Orpheus: There ya go. That is exactly what I wanted to hear. If you’re washing with the bargain brand,

Brady: Look, you are a very good person, and yes, yes, shawn christian is jan’s baby, but it…is also shawn’s baby. And shawn has found a way to step up and be a parent. So you probably can too… especially now that jan is outta the picture. You know, that little boy is gonna need a mother.

Belle: We don’t even know that jan is gone. She’s been gone before.

Brady: Not “at the bottom of a river” gone.

Belle: Okay. Listen, even if I were going to try, I slept with ej. Shawn won’t even talk to me.

Brady: He loves you. We both know that, but he’s stubborn.

Belle: Ha. Most stubborn guy I know.

Brady: But you are the one that can get through to him. So talk to him. Look, belle, you’re not gonna get anywhere unless the two of you let each other know how you feel.

Shawn: If belle has something to say to me, she can say to herself.

Chloe: Okay, shawn. I know that you are mad, and I’m not making any excuses for her, but belle knows that what happened with ej was a mistake.

Shawn: A mistake? I could think of several other words for it.

Chloe: I’m pretty sure she would have some choice words for you as well. It’s not like nothing happened between you and jan the last couple of months.

Shawn: Well, I didn’t sleep with her.

Chloe: Okay. Maybe not that.

Shawn: Come on, chloe. We’ve been through this.

Chloe: I saw you kissing her.

Shawn: No, I did–no, I did not kiss her–she kissed me. Come on, gimme a break here.

Chloe: Okay, fine. Even so, you were running out to get her cheeseburgers at every hour of the day, you were rubbing her aching back when she was pregnant and gushing over your beautiful child together. I mean, come on, a baby… a baby bonds people. You felt that, didn’t you? And belle felt that too. When she saw you and jan together bonding. Do you think that was easy for her? The baby was never the problem. It was jan. Jan’s always been the problem, but she’s out of your lives now. And so is ej. So the only two people standing between you and belle are you and belle.

Shawn: It’s not that simple.

Chloe: Well, it’s only as complicated as you wanna make it. Come on, just… just call her, talk to her, try to figure things out. Try to find your way back to each other. ‘Cause I know if two people could do it, it’s you guys.

Mitchell: I’m sorry, paulina. I have to go. There’s been an emergency,

Paulina: But I just took dinner out of the oven.

Mitchell: I’m sorry, paulina. I’ll have to take a rain check.

Paulina: Oh, well that’s just too bad now–I hope that you take what we discussed under advisement. I mean, abraham, he would be the most worthy successor that you can imagine.

Mitchell: Yes, I-I will. Good night.

Abe: So paulina… price carver… you have some explaining to do.

Evan: I never said I was getting outta here.

Kristen: Oh, heaven. You are such a terrible liar. You know, this would be so much simpler if you just tell me everything.

Evan: I can’T.

Kristen: Hmm? You can’t? Oh… is daddy threatening you, hmm? I know orpheus can be so scary, but I promise you I’m scarier.

Evan: What the hell are you doing?

Kristen: I am gonna push this pencil through your eyeball and push your pea-sized brain out your skull unless you tell me how the hell you’re gonna break outta here.

Evan: I never said we’re gonna break out.

Kristen: Come on.

Evan: Oh god.

Kristen: Ha ha ha ha. Oh. Oh, you know what? I hear the wait for medical attention will take a long time. What did you say? Two to three weeks?

Evan: Okay! Okay! Okay. I’ll tell you. Announcer: Type 2 diabetes?

Kristen: Oh, so that’s what orpheus is up to. It’s very impressive.

Evan: You can’t tell my father I told you.

Kristen: Ohh…I won’t say a word, but you will.

Evan: I can’T.

Kristen: Quiet. Go get me a piece of paper. I got a new job for you, nurse evan. Delivery boy.

Mitchell: I had to tell the warden some cockamamie story about wanting to see my prison reforms in action.

Orpheus: [Chuckles] What prison reforms? The only thing you’ve done in office is line your pockets. You’re just like the rest of the suits, aren’t you? You lock guys like me up, working guys, and throw away the key, right? You sip your martinis and sell the prisons to the highest bidder. Where’s my martini, ed?

Mitchell: There must be something I can do for you. A transfer perhaps?

Orpheus: Ha ha ha ha. I’m not negotiating, governor. From the moment I was placed here, I started to work on a plan to get out. And here you are. Ha.

Mitchell: Sorry. That can’t be done.

Orpheus: Well, that’s too bad. But you seem like a smart guy. A smart guy would see… that the power has shifted. Now, you wouldn’t know that just looking at us, but right now, your only choice is to do precisely what I say. Otherwise, your shiny legacy of public service–well, I’m just gonna have to flush that right down the toilet. And you can say goodbye to your blissful retirement and your lucrative consulting gigs that you’ve got all lined up…and say hello to bruno, your new cellmate.

Mitchell: I can’t possibly justify this to the people.

Orpheus: You’re a politician, ed. Do what you do best. Lie.

Paulina: Abraham, I know your reputation took a hit because of my crazy scheme with price town. I wanna make it up to you.

Abe: By pitching me for a job that I don’t really want.

Paulina: Now, come on. Don’t tell me you’ve never seen yourself, you know, in the governor’s mansion… and with me as first lady on your arm?

Abe: Ah! Now I see what this is all about.

Paulina: Am I being selfish? Yes. Would I love to be first lady? Yes! And why? Because I’m proud of you and I’m proud to be your wife. And you’re a decent, honorable man. No one would make a better governor than you.

Chanel: So you guys just decided out of the blue that you’re not gonna respect my wishes?

Johnny: It’s not that we don’t want to.

Allie: We just can’T. Not anymore. This situation is driving all of us crazy, chanel. Look what just happened with my dad. He was so obsessed with winning my mom’s love that he went off the deep end.

Chanel: Oh, so you’re gonna kidnap me now?

Johnny: Chanel. Just–

Chanel: Do you guys think that I’m enjoying this? Do you think I’m just kicking back and watching the show? I’m not your mom. I’m not playing you against each other.

Johnny: Maybe not on purpose.

Chanel: Excuse me? Who got dumped…twice? Who got hurt…twice? Who had to watch both of you go after someone else? Okay? It’s not my fault. I didn’t create this messed-up situation.

Johnny: No, we know that, but you’re the only one who can fix it.

Chanel: You know what? I should just tell both of you to go to hell. But I’m not gonna do that… because you’re right. I need to make a choice.

Orpheus: Ah, just the man I wanted to see. It’s done my boy, all taken care of. Wait, what are you doing back here so soon? I told you to keep your head down–your shift can’t be over yet.

Evan: Dad, better take a look at this.

[Tense music]

Orpheus: You…idiot. Time. It’s life’s most precious commodity,

Paulina: I’m sure chanel would love the perks of living in the governor’s mansion. And you would love the satisfaction of running the state properly. Helping the good people here. And with your heart breaking over lani and eli and the twins gone… what you need is a good distraction–to dive in head first into what you do best and to give the rest of us what we need. Governor abraham carver. Now, don’t tell me the thought has never crossed your mind.

Abe: [Small laugh] Well, if it had–

Paulina: Aha! I knew it! You just had to be pushed out of your comfort zone, and I was just the right woman to do it. Ah ha ha! Ooh. Now, if I just– just had a little more time with the–with the governor to plead your case. I wonder what was important to make him out of here like that?

Orpheus: You’re lucky that the governor’s still taking my calls.

Evan: Dad. I’m sorry. I–

Orpheus: Stop. What’s done is done. Forget about going back to the infirmary. Just sit tight where I can see you and keep your big mouth shut until the plan is executed.

Chloe: Hi.

Brady: Hi. Did shawn like his baby gift?

Chloe: Yeah, I think so, but he’s just…hi, belle. What are you doing here?

Brady: She was just ignoring her brother’s love life advice.

Chloe: Yeah. Two peas in a pod. Shawn was just doing the same with me. I was trying to talk some sense into him, but he was not being very receptive.

Belle: Well, yeah, he’s almost as stubborn as me.

[Phone rings] That’s shawn.

Chloe: Well, answer it.

[Beep]

Belle: Hi.

Shawn: Hey, uh, I was hoping that we could talk. Is there a, uh, a time that you could come over?

Belle: I could come over now.

Chanel: I didn’t think it’d be this hard to choose.

Johnny: Well, I’m endlessly charming and witty and…attractive. Allie is too, I guess.

Allie: Will you just be quiet?

Chanel: Listen, my first marriage, it lasted a day, and my second one wasn’t much longer. I wanna do it right this time. So, johnny, I’m sorry, but I can’t accept that ring.

Allie: Wait, so are you saying that…you choose me?

Chanel: I’m not choosing either one of you.

Allie: But you just said–

Chanel: I said, I will make a decision, but just let me sleep on it. I-I can’t make a decision with both of you staring at me.

Johnny: That’s fine. We get that.

Allie: Yeah. Of course, we do.

Chanel: Yeah. I’ll see you tomorrow.

Allie: Good night.

Johnny: Sweet dreams. So…when she does make her decision, are you gonna be able to accept the fact that it’s me?

Allie: I should have absorbed you in the womb.

Johnny: No, seriously. We’re gonna be cool… whatever she chooses? Just with everything going on with mom and us taking each of our dad’s sides and all this stuff with chanel… I miss my first best friend.

Allie: I do too.

Johnny: So we’re gonna be cool no matter what happens?

Allie: Yeah. We’re gonna be okay.

Johnny: All right.

Paulina: Oh, I’m so excited. I knew it. I knew you’d be on board with this.

Abe: Well, governor mitchell hasn’t endorsed me yet.

Paulina: Oh, ha ha ha…

[Phone chimes] Oh. Mm. Ooh, look, the governor’s giving a press conference right now! Quick, quick, turn on the tv, abe, come on. Oh, this is it! This is it. Oh, abe, abe, it’s happening, it’s happening, abe.

Mitchell: As my constituents are aware, my term is ending in november. And before I depart,R. I would like to talk to you about a constituent named…

[Paulina mouthing words] Milo harp.

Paulina: What? Who in the hell is milo harp?

Abe: Orpheus.

Paulina: What? Who is orpheus?

Mitchell: I am hereby issuing him a full pardon.

Abe: What?

Mitchell: The same goes for his son, christian maddox, aka evan frears.

Orpheus: We did it. Should be happening as we speak.

Evan: And the first thing I’m going to do when I get outta here is claim my son.

Shawn: It’s okay, daddy turned off the radio. I feel the same way about taylor.

Kristen: Don’t you worry, rachel. Mommy’s coming. Mommy’s coming.

Brady: Kristen called me.

Chloe: What? What did she want? I’m sorry.

Brady: Same thing she always wants. She wants to see rachel.

Chloe: Well, I think we should make this a kristen-free evening. What do you say?

Brady: That’s a good idea.

Chloe: What do you wanna watch baseball or…

Brady: I don’t care.

Chloe: Governor’s emergency press conference? Wonder what’s going on.

Mitchell: In addition, I am also issuing a full pardon to kristin dimera.

Finn: You lied. You weren’t the one who saved me. My mother did.

Sheila: I am your mother.

Finn: Where is she? What did you do? Tell me now!

Taylor: Hey, sweetheart. It’s mom again. I’m sorry I keep calling, I know I’m being annoying, but I– I– I– I’m worried about you. And, I would like you to call me back as soon as you can. I’d love to hear your voice and I’d love to talk to my grandkids. I love you. Call me as soon as you get this. Thank you. How was surfing?

Thomas: I couldn’t get my mind of off things. I just keep thinking about steffy. Any updates?

Taylor: No. No, she’s not answering her phone.

Ridge: You guys talking about steffy?

Taylor: Yes!

Ridge: I haven’t been able to get in touch with her either.

Wyatt: Thank you for meeting me here.

Bill: Well, you said it was your new favorite seafood restaurant, so I am fishing to see if it’s true.

Wyatt: Oh wow!

Bill: That’s a pretty good dad joke.

Wyatt: Yeah. You went there.

Bill: Well, listen, it’s on the wharf so they can’t screw it up that badly.

Wyatt: Dude, you are gonna love it. Trust me.

Bill: Ah, we’ll see about that. I’m picking the next restaurant.

Wyatt: Uh. Fair enough.

Bill: You’re still free this weekend, right?

Wyatt: Yeah. Yeah. If you still are. I mean, you–

Bill: Yeah.

Wyatt: You’ve been spending a lot of time with me lately, instead of a lucky lady.

Bill: You complaining?

Wyatt: No. No, I’m really digging the father-son time. I’m curious, though. What’s going on with you and katie?

Bill: What’s going on with katie and me? Are you familiar with the term “nothing”?

Wyatt: Ah! I was afraid of that.

Bill: I see. It’s not my fault. I’m giving her the space she continues to nee, and trying not to focus on my lack of progress.

Wyatt: Good. Life’s too short to dwell on things.

Bill: Yeah. Got that right. We’ve learned that the hard way recently, didn’t we?

Wyatt: Yeah, with finn, you mean?

Bill: Yeah. Too short. Way too short.

Thomas: Look, let’s, um, let’s try not to be concerned. You know, steffy, she’s probably just dealing with the kids and she’ll call tomorrow.

Taylor: No, I– I understand, but until sheila’s caught, I feel like…

Ridge: Well, actually there’s a lead on that.

Taylor: There is?

Ridge: Yeah. Does the name guthrie ring a bell with you? Mike guthrie.

Taylor: It does.

Ridge: So, guess who was on guard when sheila escaped?

Taylor: No.

Ridge: Yes. That idiot had something to do with it.

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Finn: My mother wouldn’t just save my life and hand me over to you. She’d be the one here taking care of me. So, you tell me… what did you do to her?

Sheila: Okay, so let’s start at the beginning then, shall we? I wanted to escape. Of course, I wanted to be free, but the thing that was most important to me was that I find you.

Finn: Find me? That makes no sense. You thought I was dead.

Sheila: Find where li buried you. I needed closure. I needed to know your final resting place.

Hello li. I thought that when I tracked her down, I would get some answers.

Where is my son? But, what I found was you. Not a grave. Not an urn, but you. My son, my beautiful son. Alive. (Denise) my husband has lung cancer

Bill: Talk to liam today?

Wyatt: Yeah. Actually, I’m meeting up with him later. Why?

Bill: I talked to him earlier. He still sounded pretty worried about this sheila situation.

Wyatt: Can you blame him? It’s creepy. Knowing that she’s still out there and everything. I don’t know, I’m just glad steffy got away. Not just for safety reasons, but liam seems to think that the distance will help her grieve.

Bill: Hope so, but I don’t think it’s distance. It’s time.

Wyatt: Well, she loved finn so much. I mean, how does she even begin to cope with something like that? Her husband. They father of her son, just… gone.

Taylor: This is too much! Sheila’s finally behind bars where she belongs and then all of the sudden mike guthrie comes out of nowhere.

Ridge: Oh, this is crazy. I don’T…

Thomas: So this guy, he’s like sheila’s henchman?

Ridge: That’s exactly who he is. He’s helped her before and he’s kinda, he’s helping her now. He knows where she is. He has to.

Finn: You found me, alive. My mother saved me, but that doesn’t explain where she is now. I want the truth!

Sheila: You j– you just need to know the pain that I was in when I thought that you were dead.

Finn: Because of you. Because you shot me.

Sheila: Yeah, that makes it all that more unbearable. Don’t you understand that? I fe–

[ Sheila scoffing ] The grief that I was feeling, it, yeah, it began to haunt me when I was arrested and I realized that I may spend the rest of my life in prison never having the opportunity to put flowers on your grave, or tell you how sorry I was. I wasn’t gonna let that happen. I knew that I had to escape. I had to find li, and make her take me to your final resting place.

Finn: Make her?

Sheila: Oh, god. Don’t– don’t– don’t make it sound like that. Don’t make me– I was trying to appeal to her. Mother to mother. But, when I got here, she was way off. She was just acting so cagey.

Finn: Yeah, she was probably scared to death. Seeing you, knowing you escaped.

Sheila: She was scared, she was scared, she was scared that I was gonna uncover what she was hiding. She yelled at me, she called me names, but I stood strong. I was not about to leave until I found out where you were at. And thank god I heard!

Finn: Heard?

Li: You need to leave.

Sheila: What is that sound?

Li: You need to leave now!

Sheila: Why won’t you

tell me? The equipment that was keeping you alive. And li tried to stop me. She… she wouldn’t let me by. She tried, but she couldn’T.

Get out of my way.

Li: You can’t just follow– no!

Sheila: And then, there you were. And all that pain, and grief, that I’d been feeling–

finn? Oh, god. The horror of thinking that I killed my own son. You have to understand the relief. Finding out that I didn’T. It was probably the most profound, moving moment of my entire life. Hi, I’m nancy.

Bill: What happened to finn really just drives home that life really is too short, so fleeting. Goes by way too fast.

Wyatt: Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever heard you talk like this before.

Bill: Like what?

Wyatt: I don’t know?

Bill: You know what, never mind. I don’t even want to hear the answer. Whatever.

Wyatt: I was gonna say with compassion.

Bill: I just said I didn’t wanna hear the answer.

Wyatt: What are you, what are you–

Bill: You see. You see. It’s a side effect of being a father. This is what you three boys have done to me.

Wyatt: You’re welcome?

Bill: I mean, no. Not “you’re welcome.” I mean, I don’t wanna say you’ve changed me, but you– you have uh, maybe, helped me to grow a little–

Wyatt: Oh oh.

Bill: Recognize what’s important in life.

Wyatt: Just a little bit?

Bill: Yeah. Ju… just keep it up wise guy. But, you’ll find out, someday, if you are dumb enough to have your own children. Then, you’ll see they become all encompassing, and all you do is worry about them and you want to protect them.

Wyatt: Yeah, unless you’re sheila carter.

Bill: Yeah. Wish I’d been there to protect steffy and finn from that psycho.

Thomas: There’s gotta be a way for the police to get it out of him.

Ridge: Oh, I’ve got a way to get it out of him.

[ Phone ringing ]

Taylor: It’s an international number. This has got to be steffy.

Ridge: Put her on speaker.

Taylor: Yeah, of course. Hello?

Flavia: Hello? Could i please speak with taylor hayes please?

Taylor: Speaking. Who is this?

Flavia: Excuse me for disturbing you. My name is dr. Chevalier, but you can call me flavia. I am here in monaco.

Taylor: Monaco? That’s where steffy is. I– is steffy okay?

Flavia: Yes, I have news about your daughter.

Finn: I don’t care how profound it was. Or how moved you were. Tell me what happened next. What you did to my mother.

Sheila: I tried to convince li that she needed to take you back to the hospital. That what she was doing, it was way too risky. And I had just found you. Alive. I wasn’t going to lose you again, so I was determined to convince her.

Finn: Obviously, you didn’T. I’m still here.

Sheila: Yeah, but you woke up. Oh, finn–

Li: Finn.

Sheila: It meant so much to the both of us to hear your voice and see your eyes open.

Finn: My mom was here?

Sheila: Yes, son. She was. She was right here.

Finn: So why don’t I remember?

Sheila: It was hard for her to understand.

Finn: You’re not lying to me? Trying to cover up some scheme that you–

Sheila: No. Li was right here taking care of you when the hospital gave up on you, and I was so, so, so thankful for her. And thankful for the care she was giving you.

Finn: Was? Why was?

Sheila: Well, I’ll get to that.

Finn: No. Now.

Sheila:: I thought she understood how much I cared about you. She said that you were ours. Our son.

Finn: I don’t believe you. She would’ve went right to the cops.

Sheila: Oh no. Because, if she would’ve done that, she would’ve gone to prison too. She said that we could take care of you. Your two mothers. She lied to me. I trusted her and she lied to my face. Telling me that she needed to go and get you your medication and the second she walked out that door–

youu were calling the cops! She got her phone and she was calling for help. She betrayed me. I trusted her. Why would she do that? Why does this happen to me? Is there no one that I can rely on? Why? Why does everyone make me do things that I regret?

Finn: Regret? What did you do, sheila? What did you do to my mother? Kids, one year they want all dinosaurs stuff

Server: Here you go. Have a good night, gentlemen.

Bill: Thank you.

Wyatt: Thanks for dinner, dad. You don’t always have to get the bill.

Bill: Er, don’t make anything of it, wyatt. I, uh, I like paying. I wasn’t able to do anything for you guys when you were growing up, so it makes me feel good to do it now.

Wyatt: Well, thank you. You okay? I mean, I could hang out a little bit if you–

Bill: Oh, no, no. I’m– I’m good. I’m– yeah, I gotta– I gotta get home, too. So, thanks for suggesting this place. It wasn’t terrible.

Wyatt: Ah, come on, you loved it.

Bill: Uh…

Wyatt: All right. Well, I’ll see you at work tomorrow.

Bill: Yep. Don’t be late.

Wyatt: What? Are you serious? I will be early, just like you.

Bill: We’ll see about that.

Taylor: So, what is– what is going on? Is– is– is steffy okay? Was she in an accident?

Flavia: No, no, no, no. Um, I work for a clinic. A rehabilitation center for depression.

Taylor: Okay.

Flavia: You know that steffy has been seeing a local grief counsellor here?

Taylor: Yes, yes. Uh, dr. Rousseau.

Flavia: Yes. Um, he urged her to check in with us to receive 24 hour a day care.

Taylor: Okay. So– so what exactly is happening?

Flavia: Well, sh– she is struggling quite a bit.

Ridge: What about the kids? Ask her about the kids.

Taylor: Okay, that is– that is ridge forrester. That’s steffy’s father. We’re– we’re concerned about kelly and hayes. Where are they?

Flavia: Steffy’s with them

and the nanny. This is more like a home. It’s not a hospital. How do you say, uh, more like a resort.

Uh, so rest assured,

the kids are fine. So, is steffy. She’s receiving excellent care, okay?

Taylor: Okay. Um, well we– we would like to speak to her if that’s possible.

Flavia: Well, that’s not recommended. Not yet.

We encourage our patients

to not have any contact with anything or anyone close to the cause. Especially at the beginning stages of the rehab.

Taylor: But, uh–

Flavia: That will change as the progress continues, but rest assured, I will keep you completely updated on her progress.

Taylor: Okay. Well, if– if she– okay, yes. Thank you. Thank you for that.

Flavia: I know you are worried. Rest assured, she will get through this. She’s receiving excellent care.

Taylor: Thank you.

Flavia: Au revoir.

Thomas: So, the pain’s so bad, she has to…

Taylor: I’m glad she’s safe, but– but this is terrible.

Ridge: What’s steffy’s going through, and the whole family… is all because of sheila.

Shela: Things could’ve been so different if she would have just believed me, but no, no, she– she had to try calling the cops.

Finn: Yeah, but you, you stopped her.

Sheila: From making the call, yes, but not from leaving. Finn, she ran away. She– she took off in a car.

Finn: Then this can’t be true because she would’ve went straight to the cops and she would’ve brought ’em here.

Sheila: She didn’t make it to the cops.

Finn: How would you know?

Sheila: Because I followed her. I chased her. I saw her when she–

Finn: When what?

Sheila: She lost control of the car, and I don’t know what happened. It just exploded.

Finn: What?

Sheila: I saw her go into the water. No, I saw her sinking.

Finn: You’re– you’re saying my mother is dead? Answer me! Is my mother dead?

Sheila: Yes. Baby, I’m so sorry. Li is dead.

[ Rattling ]

Bill: Who’s there? If you’re looking for trouble, you’re about to find it.

[ Woman groaning ] What are you doing there? Is this a set-up? Do you need help?

Sally: [ Sniffles ] I am leaving now, so if you want to go through my things to make sure I’m not taking off with any office supplies, be my guest. Go ahead.

Nick: That won’t be necessary.

Sally: Okay. Well, I guess this is goodbye.

Nick: I mean, if you want it to be.

Sally: What?

Nick: We talked about it.

Victoria: And, uh, we have decided to keep you on, at least in the short term.

Sally: Okay. What’s the catch?

[ Door opens, closes ]

Jack: Uh, bad timing. I apologize.

Noah: No worries. I mean, this is your house, right?

Allie: Yeah. We — we apologize.

Jack: Well, now that we’ve all apologized…

Noah: I was just dropping allie off.

Allie: Yeah, we — we had a great day at the gcac rooftop pool with mariah and tessa, and then went to the coffeehouse.

Jack: Well, that sounds like great fun. You know, you’re always welcome to use our pool. You can invite all your friends over anytime you like.

Noah: Oh. Thank you, jack. That’s — that’s very generous of you.

Jack: Okay, well, I’ll, uh, see you later.

Noah: Are you okay?

Allie: Oh, my god! That was so awkward.

Noah: Come on. It was not that bad.

Allie: Okay. That was my grandfather. What if victor walked in on us?

Noah: Okay. Good point. But, hey, moments pass. I’m sure jack’s already forgotten all about it, so there’s nothing to worry about.

Phyllis: Okay. Well, this is the first meeting of the disappear diane club, or the jettison jenkins foundation.

Nikki: Phyllis, I understand you need to inject a little humor here, but the reality is, this is a dire situation. We have got to get diane out of town before she does some real harm to people we love.

Phyllis: Oh, no one agrees with you more than I on that.

Ashley: So let’s get down to business. How do we make it happen?

[ Knock on door ]

Adam: Ashland, you in there?

[ Knock on door ]

[ Knock on door ] Excuse me. Uh, I was wondering if you could help me. My friend is staying here, and I’m worried about him. He has a heart condition, and he’s not answering his phone or the door. So I was just wondering if you could let me in.

I’m not supposed to do that.

Adam: But, um, what if something happened to him? I mean, he could be hurt or worse. You know, I could never live with myself if something happened to him, and now I’ve asked you to help, so, unfortunately, I’ve brought you into this dilemma, too. Thank you.

[ Lock clicks ] Thank you. Ashland? Ash–

What a mess.

Frank is a fan of fast.

He’s a fast talker.

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Nick: Vick and I talked about it, and we agreed that some of your ideas that you mentioned during your — what’d you call it? — An outpouring?

Victoria: As emotional as it was.

Nick: Have real potential. And we would like to give you the chance to see them through.

Sally: So you want me to stay on at newman media?

Victoria: We’ll consider you an interim ceo for a period of time. I think 90 days is reasonable. And then, we’ll evaluate your performance, and if you can meet or hopefully exceed our expectations, we’ll keep you on. However, I want to make it very clear that I fully expect newman media to play a key role in moving the entire company forward, and if you cannot demonstrate the leadership to do that, then, well, we’ll have no choice but to replace you with someone who can.

Sally: No pressure. Yes. Yes, I’m up for the challenge.

Nick: We realize we’re asking a lot of someone to run a company of this size, like you — no offense — but adam obviously had a lot of faith in you, but I’m sure he thought he’d be around to help guide you through it.

Sally: I can do this without his help.

Victoria: I suggest that you think about this very carefully before taking it on. There’s a lot more riding on this than just your pride. Millions of dollars worth of revenue, people’s livelihoods, their professional reputations, so if you can’t say with complete certainty that you can do the job, you should let me know now. I would be more than happy to give you a robust severance package and a positive recommendation for wherever you may want to go. The choice is yours.

Sally: I am exactly the right person to be running this company. I promise you will not regret this decision.

Victoria: Okay. Good. I look forward to working with you.

[ Door closes ]

Adam: He’s not in there.

Your friend must be a troublemaker.

Adam: Oh, you don’t know the half of it.

Ashland: Why are you here?

Adam: Uh, I came to check on you. You were M.I.A. I was worried about you. And what happened here? Were you robbed? Maybe we should call the police.

Ashley: So I think it’s obvious that kyle is the only one who has any influence with diane, right? I mean, he invited her to stay here, and he was putting her up the gcac.

Nikki: And he hired her at marchetti. We have to make him realize that that woman is not to be trusted.

Ashley: Could you speak to summer? Get her to open kyle’s eyes?

Phyllis: I’ve already spoken to summer about this like a million times. She just wants to support kyle. I’m not the best messenger when it comes to kyle and summer. I get very emotional when it comes to diane, and they both have decided that I’ve lost perspective.

Ashley: Is that because of what happened with you and jack?

Nikki: What are you talking about?

Phyllis: I’m sorry. What do you know?

Ashley: Um… I mean, jack just gave me the gist of it. And for the record, I don’t blame you for what you did, and I told him so.

Nikki: Alright, just a minute. What did phyllis do?

Noah: You know, I don’t have to leave right away. We could use the pool, like jack said.

Allie: But we already went swimming today.

Noah: Okay. Well, maybe i just want to spend more time with you.

Allie: Or maybe you are just trying to procrastinate from telling your dad.

Noah: Yes, I am procrastinating a little bit, but that does not negate the fact that I want to see you again. Maybe we can go back to the rooftop. It’s really fun at night. They got music, dancing…

Allie: I don’t know. I-I’m starting my jabot internship tomorrow, and I don’t want jack to think I’m not taking it seriously, you know? Like, how would it look if I was out partying all night?

Noah: We don’t have to stay that late. Unless this is your very nice way of telling me you’d rather not go.

Allie: No. No, it’s — it’s not that. I just — I don’t want jack to get the wrong idea.

Noah: Jack or — or me? If you have age-related macular degeneration,

Ashland: I, uh — I’m sorry about the mess. I will, uh… clean it up myself. I promise.

Adam: What happened to you? Have you been on a bender?

Ashland: I’ve been in jail. Not that it’s any of your business.

Adam: Well, I guess that explains why you haven’t answered my calls. But what could you have done to land you in jail? You tried to see harrison, didn’t you? You defied the restraining order.

Ashland: I thought I found an ally in diane.

Adam: If you would’ve asked me, I would have warned you against that.

Ashland: Mm.

Adam: No one has ever trusted her without living to regret it. Including me.

Ashland: Well, I thought she, more than anyone, would understand what it feels like to be separated from your own son. She’d taken harrison to the park… let me spend a little time with him, and then…

Adam: Well, you knew it. The cops were swarming. Yeah, she figured she could use you to score some points with the newmans.

Ashland: I’m pretty sure victor was behind it from the beginning.

Adam: Mm. Well, that does sound like dear old dad. But, uh, I guess the question now is, what do you intend to do about it?

Victoria: I think your first move should be hiring a coo with experience. Someone who’s been in the media business for years, who knows all the players, who could be a good resource for you. You know, there are several candidates within the company that we could promote.

Nick: What about darren? He’s got decades of experience.

Victoria: You know, I heard he was retiring, but maybe we could talk him out of it.

Nick: It’s worth a shot.

Sally: It won’t be necessary to recruit any new candidates.

Victoria: Why not?

Sally: Because I have already offered the job to someone, and they have accepted.

Victoria: Who?

Sally: Chloe mitchell.

Victoria: I thought the idea was to hire someone who could make up for your lack of experience.

Sally: It’s true that chloe has mostly worked in fashion, like me, but we worked really well together before. And she’s a smart and savvy creative thinker, and those are things that can’t be taught. She can learn the rest just like I did, just like adam did whenever victor put him in charge of newman media. He had absolutely no background in media and turned out to be very successful.

Victoria: Okay. Well, I will look at this as your first big decision. A test of your judgment. You and chloe can rise or fall together.

Noah: I hope that you’d let me know if anything that’s happened has made you uncomfortable. If you’d rather just stay friends, we can.

Allie: That’s not what I’m saying. And I know jack doesn’t have a problem with you. In fact, he goes on and on about how great you are.

Noah: I do have excellent references, but it really only matters what you think.

Allie: I guess I just still feel a bit blown away by how fast my life is changing. I mean, new home, job, family. And now this.

Noah: We’ll slow it down, then. We don’t have to go to the rooftop.

Allie: No, no, it sounds fun, and I don’t want to put it off.

Noah: Alright. I’ll see you there, then.

Allie: And maybe, when I show up, you can tell me how it went with your dad.

Noah: Right. Right, yeah. I might need a sympathetic ear by the end of the night.

Phyllis: Um… I was trying to send a message to diane, and jack felt used. I feel bad, but what’s done is done.

Nikki: Well, this may surprise you, but I agree with ashley. I mean, the impulse to fend off diane is sometimes overwhelming because she is a predator.

Phyllis: Yes, she is a predator. That’s my point. So when I try to talk to summer and kyle about diane, I’m very emotional. And they just see it like I’m trying to justify my behavior and I go nowhere.

Nikki: Yeah, I’ve tried talking to summer, too, with very little success. I don’t know. Maybe jack would be more receptive to what we have to say. I mean, not — not what you would say but what ashley and i would tell him.

Phyllis: Yeah, that’s great. I’m all for that. I mean, jack will listen to you. Definitely. And then kyle will listen to jack, for sure.

Ashley: I’m not that positive, actually, that jack would hear what we have to say, nikki, and I’m afraid that if we push too hard, it might backfire.

Phyllis: Wait a second. Why are you saying that?

Ashley: I think his feelings for diane are very complicated.

Phyllis: Oh. Wh– ashley, what’s that supposed to mean? (Kid 1) where’s lucky?

Nick: Do not hesitate to reach out to either one of us if you need advice or just someone to bounce ideas off of. We are here for you anytime you need.

Sally: Okay.

Victoria: We want to help you in any way that we can.

Sally: Is that a diplomatic way of saying that you want to keep tabs on me?

Victoria: No, not at all.

Nick: Think of it as us wanting to take a very active role in supporting you.

Sally: Uh-huh.

Victoria: I’m guessing that adam has probably said some negative things about us and warned you not to trust us, but I’m hoping by now that you’ll see that you can’t take everything that he says at face value.

Sally: Well, I do recall him telling me that I would regret getting involved with him. That much was true.

Victoria: Look, this is probably the last thing that you want to hear, but you’re better off without him. Adam has a way of turning on everyone eventually. And you have this opportunity now that he left you, in all honesty, that wouldn’t have happened if you were still together.

Sally: Well, this job is one hell of a silver lining, and I intend to make the most of it.

Nick: We are very eager to see what you can do with the role.

Sally: I appreciate that. You can count on me to come through for you.

Sally: [ Breathes deeply ]

Ashland: You know, it’s been a long day. I have to clean up this room, so why don’t you just… leave? Hmm?

Adam: Okay. I’ll go. But then what? I mean, you can’t let this latest provocation go unanswered. You have to know that my family is going to go public with the news that you were arrested and you were thrown in jail. Right? They’re gonna leak it to the press or to that podcaster. They’re determined to destroy whatever is left of your reputation.

Ashland: And that breaks your heart, does it?

Adam: Look, it could have just as easily been me in the crosshairs. They’re probably gonna come after me when they’re done destroying you.

Ashland: You don’t think your family has any loyalty toward you?

Adam: Unfortunately, no. Okay. My dad only uses me, and my brother and sister make me think I can earn their loyalty and trust, but it isn’t true. It’s just one big rigged carnival game, like it always is.

Ashland: So now you’re rooting for me to tear them all to shreds?

Adam: Well, you did a pretty good job on this room. Or was that enough for you? You get it all out of your system? Or was a couple hours in jail to cool your heels enough to convince you to give up?

Ashland: I think you know me better than that.

Jack: Noah’s gone. Next time I see his car outside, I’ll come in the back.

Allie: That is not necessary. This is your house, and I should have been more aware of myself.

Jack: I was kidding, I was kidding. There’s no reason for you to be embarrassed. I told you, I like the idea of you spending time with noah. You’re getting out. You’re living your life. You’re having a ball. You deserve it.

Allie: I did have a really good time at the gcac rooftop pool. In fact, noah has asked me to come back and see it at night with him.

Jack: Well, I think you should do that. It sounds like fun. Or not. I don’t want to be nosy. Is there a problem?

Ashley: I don’t know exactly what is going on.

Phyllis: When you say “going on,” what does that mean?

Ashley: It’s nothing romantic. Oh, my. God forbid.

Nikki: Jack would have more sense than that.

Ashley: Well, I did speak with him earlier, and I got the impression he thinks that she deserves a second chance.

Phyllis: Oh, my — I can’T. I can’t even believe this. I can’t even believe this. I mean, this is precisely what I was talking to you about the other day. You guys have got to talk to jack. He cannot let his guard down even a little bit.

Ashley: I’m not sure what you expect us to do.

Phyllis: Then talk to him! Convince him!

Ashley: Shh!

Phyllis: Or else diane will ruin his life and my daughter’s like she has all of ours.

Ashley: Okay, phyllis, listen to me, okay? There are limitations to what my influence can actually be in this situation.

Phyllis: No, no! There are only the limitations that you have in your own mind, ashley.

Ashley: Are you okay? Are you okay? Seriously. Because we can’t be partners in this if nikki and I have to constantly worry about you going off the deep end and doing something stupid.

Phyllis: I’m not gonna do something stupid. I am focused. I am focused on bringing this woman down.

Ashley: I get it, but you can’t be irrational about it.

Nikki: Everybody — shh! — Stop. This is not productive. We need to keep our eyes on the prize… to get rid of diane. Kids, one year they want all dinosaurs stuff

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Need a cleanser that does more?

Allie: You don’t have anything to worry about, jack. Nothing is wrong. In fact, everything has gone so great that it feels overwhelming at times. Anyways, it’s a good problem to have.

Jack: I’m sure if you wanted to slow things down, noah would understand.

Allie: He’s already said that. And he’s been very sweet. He’s been kind and thoughtful of my feelings. And… and I really like him, if that’s not obvious.

Jack: Yeah, I kind of sensed that.

Allie: [ Chuckles ] God, I don’t know why I’m acting like a confused teenager.

Jack: Because love does that to people. Doesn’t matter how old you are. I’m not suggesting that you and noah are in the love phase. If you are, of course, that’s great. But, look, all I’m trying to say is, it’s none of my business. I just care that you’re happy. If you’re happy, I’m happy for you.

Allie: Thank you.

Ashley: So I think we have to face the facts here that jack, kyle, and summer don’t want to hear anything negative about diane. They are too invested in this incredible transformation that she’s apparently made. If we’re going to get them to change their minds, we’re going to have to give them evidence and not just suspicions.

Phyllis: Right. Right. Nikki, what about this investigation you have into diane’s past in los angeles? Any leads?

Nikki: Not yet, I’m sorry to say. “Taylor jensen” had a very low profile down there, but I’m not giving up.

Ashley: I’m so happy to hear that because I refuse to believe that diane was able to keep her hands clean for all those years. There has to be somebody who was a witness or a victim of one of her scams, right?

Nikki: That’s right.

Phyllis: Yeah. Allie is the only one she’s targeted from los angeles. By the way, I wanted to tell you, um, before you entered the coffeehouse, I had a conversation with diane, and she saw me talking to allie. I guess she overheard what we were saying, and she accused me of trying to use allie to get back into jack’s life.

Ashley: I can’t believe that. What a hypocrite after how she used allie.

Phyllis: I know. And you know what? It was a really light chat that allie and I were having. I mean, there was no ulterior motive.

Nikki: Sounds like diane was projecting.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Nikki: I mean, maybe she’s the one who wants to maintain a relationship with jack’s granddaughter. I’m sure she would love to have an ally in the house.

Ashley: Oh, I don’t like hearing that at all. Allie’s a lovely girl, but she’s nowhere near equipped to handle somebody as devious as diane. There’s just no way.

Phyllis: I know. When I was in california, I tried to warn allie about diane. She took it to heart. But I don’t know if she really understood it.

Ashley: Well, the subject has never come up between the two of us, but it’s going to have to now.

Ashland: Why don’t you just tell me why you’re here. I’m pretty sure it’s not because you’re concerned about my well-being.

Adam: Well, you’re right. I do have selfish reasons.

Ashland: Shocking. Can we please just cut to the chase?

Adam: Well, it’s not what you think. Okay? I just… I need someone to talk to. I need an ally, however tenuous. There’s not a whole lot of people in my life that I can be open about my anger towards my family. What about miss spectra? Why don’t you go cry on her shoulder?

Adam: It’s over.

Ashland: Really?

Adam: She couldn’t keep working at newman and stay in a relationship with me. It’s one or the other.

Ashland: And she chose to break up with you. That must have been a real blow to your ego.

Adam: Which puts us in the same position, with very little left to lose.

Ashland: Maybe. But one could also say that you’re in the same position as diane, needing to win points with victor in order to get back into his good graces. In fact, maybe that’s why you’re here right now. Maybe once you leave, you’ll go back to daddy dearest and… tell him about my whereabouts, my intentions.

Adam: Locke, I get why you would be skeptical, okay? Victoria lied to you more than once. Diane was someone you thought you could trust, and then they both turned on you. But I am done trying to impress my father. Anything that has to do with the newmans, I am out.

Ashland: That is exactly what victoria said right before she took $250 million of my money and transferred it into her own account. So, adam… I really don’t know what to make of you right now. I don’t know what to make of your proposal that we pair up.

Adam: Well, need I remind you that you were the one who made the case that we’re natural allies. And you’re right. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Right?

Ashland: Okay. How’s this? Since we’re so simpatico, why don’t you answer this question? If you were in my shoes, what would you do?

Adam: That’s easy. I would wreck everything. I would burn it all down to the ground. -Fixed. -That’s my son.

Nikki: I will keep you ladies posted on anything my investigation turns up.

Ashley: Okay, I’m gonna go talk to allie and see if diane’s trying to make any inroads with her.

Phyllis: Yeah, and I’m gonna stay out of diane’s path, because anything I do, she just twists around and she uses it against me, so…

Victoria: I don’t like the looks of this.

Nick: Agreed. It’s a little scary.

Victoria: Hello. Quite the trio.

Nikki: Hi.

Victoria: What’s going on?

Nikki: Oh, we’re just working on a project together.

Nick: Is it a charity thing?

Victoria: Before you answer yes, you might want to remember you’ve used that excuse before.

Nick: Yeah, last time you said you were doing something like that, you were trying to figure out a way to hide a body.

Phyllis: Oh. No body. That’s crazy. No. No bodies involved. No, we’re just working on a beautification project for the city. A way to make genoa city more beautiful and happier.

Nick: Okay.

Ashley: I have to go.

Phyllis: Duty calls.

Ashley: Bye.

Victoria: Bye.

Nikki: It’s really nothing to worry about, and I don’t care to discuss it any further.

Nick: Alright, well, whatever it is, I really hope it doesn’t get you into trouble.

Nikki: So how did it go with sally? Was she upset when you let her go?

Nick: There was a turn when we went to see her. She had a pretty persuasive defense about the work she’s done so far and an impressive argument about why she should stay in the job going forward.

Victoria: So we ended up changing our minds, and we are gonna give her a chance to prove herself.

Nikki: Really? What about her relationship with adam?

Nick: Adam actually did what he said he was gonna do. He ended things with her, so there’s no longer a conflict of interest.

Victoria: Sally’s put a lot of thought into where she wants to take newman media, and I think they’re surprisingly good ideas.

Nikki: Well, okay. I’ll trust your judgment. I want to hear more about her plans. Right now, though, I have a meeting. I’ve got to get back to the office, so I’ll catch you two later.

Nick: Love you.

Nikki: Love you.

Nick: Why do we really think the three of them were together?

Victoria: I have no idea what conspiracy they might be cooking up, but honestly, I’m happy to not be a part of it.

Nick: Yeah, well, we know mom can handle herself.

Victoria: Actually, I am more concerned about adam right now.

Nick: Why?

Victoria: Because if he really did break things off with sally, he’s gonna be even more emotionally unstable than he was before. It might push him to lash out in some way.

Ashland: Burn it all down — that’s very dramatic. But I’m gonna need you to be more specific. What exactly would you do?

Adam: Isn’t it obvious? You want to take revenge on my father, you have to hit him where it hurts — the business, his life’s work, his legacy. Okay, someone with your history and your reputation, you are prepared to pull this off perfectly. You have dismantled dozens of corporations, and you sent their founders spiraling into bankruptcy for things that were nothing compared to what victor put you through.

Ashland: That was business. This is personal. So I’m gonna go in a different direction.

Adam: Well, what do you have in mind?

Ashland: I’m gonna do you a favor. I’m gonna leave you with plausible deniability, and that way, later, when they ask you, you can honestly say you had no idea what was coming.

Adam: Well, I can be helpful with whatever it is that you’re planning. I can get inside my father’s head. I can anticipate his every move.

Ashland: Yeah, well, you don’t have to get too far inside victor’s head to understand that the company is not actually the most important thing to him. Just look at the extremes he’s gone to to protect his precious eldest daughter. If you want to hit him where it hurts…

Adam: You’re gonna go after victoria.

Ashland: I seem to have left you with the mistaken impression that we’re gonna be working together. We are not going to be working together. We’re on different tracks. So from here on in, I’m gonna go my own way.

Adam: You know, maybe we should talk this through. Like the —

Ashland: Yeah, you know what? The time for that has passed. I need to take a shower, get a hot meal. So, if you don’t mind…

Adam: [ Clears throat ] Your mission: Stand up to moderate

Noah: Hey, is dad around?

Sharon: I haven’t seen him today. Why, are you supposed to meet him here?

Noah: No, I just thought maybe I’d run into him.

Sharon: Why would you think that?

Noah: No reason. I just — I promised myself if I saw him today, I would talk to him about the whole new hope thing.

Sharon: Why don’t you just call or text him? Set up a time to meet instead of just leaving it to chance.

Noah: Yeah, I know, I know. I told allie that I’d talk to him about it today. I don’t know why I keep putting it off. I know he’s gonna be disappointed, but that’s no excuse.

Sharon: I understand it’s gonna to be hard, but I think you’ll feel relieved once you get it over with.

Noah: Yeah, I think you’re right. Thank you for the nudge. I think I needed that. Maybe that’s why I wound up here.

Sharon: Well, if it’s any consolation, I’m glad you’re here. It’s always nice to see your smiling face. But more importantly, the espresso machine is acting up again.

Noah: I’ll take care of it.

Sharon: Hey, you’re pretty cheerful for a guy who’s dreading having a difficult conversation.

Noah: That’s not the only thing I got going on.

Sharon: Really? What else is happening? Something good, I hope.

Noah: Something great.

Nick: I cannot wait to see how summer reacts when she finds out we gave sally a second chance.

Victoria: They’re still rivals after everything that’s happened?

Nick: Summer is never gonna forgive sally. I mean, she’s very much like phyllis when it comes to grudges. But you know what? I really think we made the right decision. Sally’s creative. She’s fiery. She really wants to prove herself on her own merits. That’s exactly the kind of person we need in that job. And I think she’s gonna give it her all.

Victoria: If only to show adam that he made a mistake in dumping her.

Nick: Yeah, still have some questions about that. Starting to feel like adam did that just so sally could keep her job.

Victoria: Are you saying that adam did something noble and unselfish?

Nick: Wouldn’t be the first time.

[ Knock on door ]

Adam: Victoria?

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone rings ]

Sally: We need to talk. I meant what I said. If you only broke up with me so I could keep my ceo title, I don’t want the job. I want the truth. We need to talk. I meant what I said. If you only broke up with me so I could keep my ceo title, I don’t want the job.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Sighs ] Voicemail? Again, chase? Why aren’t you calling me back? Oh, I really hope you’re not having second thoughts, because tonight is important. I fully expect to see you at the haunted star in a half hour. Be there.

[ Exhales sharply ] Michael, willow, hey! Last time we checked. Oh, with a sense of humor like that, no wonder you’re a dad.

[ Chuckles ] You guys still coming? To open mic night at the haunted star? That’s tonight? Oh. Yes. We are so sorry. We just — forgot? H-how could you forget? This is chase’s big debut.

[ Punching bag thudding ]

[ Chase grunting ] Okay. Alright, time! Time, time. You, uh — you done yet? No, not yet. Oh, yeah? ‘Cause, you know, we’ve been here a few hours. And, uh, unless you got a personal vendetta against this bag, I’m guessing there’s something you really don’t want to do. And by that reaction, that something has to do with brook lynn. I told her I’d sing at the haunted star open mic night. Hey, great. What time? Don’t you have an evening with elizabeth? No. But she’s back. Exactly. She needs to spend some time with her boys. Is that her way of trying to keep you at arm’s length? No, no. I think this time, things are good. Nice diversion, by the way. We were talking about you. Back at you. Yeah. So, when is this open mic thing? It doesn’t matter. I can’t go. Spinelli: [ Through cellphone ]

Greetings and salutations. Cody: Spinelli!

[ Clears throat ] To whom am I speaking? It’s your buddy, cody bell. No, I have no desired acquaintance who bears that moniker. Adieu.

Whoa, whoa, wait,

hold on, hold on. Tonight’s my date with britt westbourne, so I need the 411 — likes, dislikes, what’s she looking for in a man. Oh, so you can deceive her? So I can get another date. I cannot — no, nay, nay, i will not abet your deceptions. Lose this number!

[ Sighs ] Fine. Guess I’ll just have to wing it.

[ Horse neighs ][ Knock on door ] Britt: Mr. Bell. Dr. Westbourne. You’re early. All the sooner to get this over with. Who are you talking to, and what do you have to “wing”?

[ Indistinct conversations ] Mac! Hi! Mac: Hi. Are you excited about emceeing tonight? Uh, yes. You know, I mean, I know your mom really wanted to be here tonight, but since she’s feeling under the weather, I’m happy to dust off my old skills and pitch in. Well, break a leg.

[ Chuckles ] Thanks. I think.

[ Laughs ] Hey. Hey, austin. How you doing? Yeah, I’m great. Good. Nice to see you. Hi. Hi. Do you want to — did you — let’s grab this table. Okay. Thank you for rolling with the change of plans. I know this wasn’t exactly the romantic date we talked about. Please, this is going to be super fun. And I love how supportive your family is. That’s great, and I know you mean it, but you and i will be going on a date, just the two of us, very soon. Deal. Gracious greetings! Spinelli! Did not know you were going to be here tonight. Well, couldn’t pass up a chance to mingle. Please join us. Oh. Austin, would you, uh, grab us a couple drinks? Uh, yeah, sure. What do you want? I literally have given it no thought, so surprise me. I’ll have a beer. Yeah. Of course you will. Well, uh, I’m sure today’s going to be a smash — spinelli. Why are you stalking me? Uh, I appreciate you bringing me out, marshall, but the mcats are really soon, and I need to study. Okay. Alright. Look. I know you agree. Music is good for the soul, right? So I’m just guessing, here, future dr. Johnson. If music is good for the soul, it’s got to be good for the brain, too, as well.

[ Laughs ] Come on. Fine. One drink. Cool. One drink. And a song. Brando, can you check on my discharge papers again? They’re taking forever.

[ Chuckles ] I don’t think that they’ll appreciate me checking every five minutes.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door opens ] Hi, sasha. Brando. Hey, nina. I brought you some clothes and toiletries just in case you need it. Thank you. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this. I will, uh, go check on those discharge papers. Thanks.

[ Door closes ]

[ Elevator bell dings ] Oh, brando, I was hoping I’d run into you. Sonny. Dex. I know sasha’s 72-hour hold is over. How is she doing? Uh, dr. Sheffer recommends that we transfer sasha to shadybrook for rehab. What does she think of that? I mean, she insists all she needs is rest, you know, which she can get at home. What do you think? I wish I just understood how my wife got to this point in the first place. Oh, my god. You thought of everything. I’m gonna go get changed. Uh, sasha, I think maybe that can wait. I’d love to talk to you first. Nina, I love you, and I appreciate everything you’re doing for me. But I am going home tonight. So do not try to stop me.

Look, I know I’m not a detective anymore. At the moment. But it doesn’t take sherlock holmes to see that you are still worried about elizabeth. Look, a bag. Why don’t I go punch it? Finn. Hmm? Alright. I-I admit I was a little thrown when elizabeth checked herself out of shadybrook. But, you know, she came back, and we talked, and, you know, she says she really wants to be with me. Well, that’s great. What’s wrong? Nothing’s wrong. It just seems… fast, that’s all. For you to get back together? For elizabeth to be back to normal. Seems almost too good to be true. You up for a night out? Why? Willow, you not feeling well? No, no, I’m — I’m fine. In fact, um — do you want to tell her? Okay. I’d be honored. Well, willow and i are having a baby. Oh, my god! Congratulations! No wonder your jokes are getting worse.

[ Laughs ] Did I just hug you too hard? I’m so sorry. The only pregnancy I ever had was a complete fraud, and I only pretended to read the books. I’m fine. I feel great. Okay. Okay, great. Then you guys should go out and celebrate. Like tonight. It’s never too early to expose your kid to some culture. Yeah, I’m not sure amateurs covering top-40 pop songs is considered culture. Babies love music in utero. Exactly. Thank you. Okay. Alright, uh… we will be there. Great! Now I just hope that chase doesn’t get cold feet. Oh. You don’t have to get back to sasha? Uh, nina’s with her. The drugs are out of her system. Mm-hmm.Th to her heart this time. That’s good, right? Thank god. Yeah. The drugs, those were just a symptom. Mm-hmm. They — they might have been a factor in sasha’s breakdown, but they weren’t the cause. You been able to talk to, uh, sasha about liam? I try. She just shuts down. I want to tell her that everything’s going to be okay, but it feels like a lie whenever I do. I’m trying to be supportive and honest at the same time, but…it’s impossible. What am I supposed to do? Sasha, I fully support and understand your desire to want to go home.

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry. Uh, I thought you were going to try to force me into going to rehab. No, no, I’m not. But… it’s worth a conversation, don’t you think?

[ Scoffs ] I am not addicted. Those pills, they were just supposed to take the edge off. It was obviously a mistake to take them. I just didn’t want to — you didn’t want to feel. That’s it, isn’t it? You didn’t want to feel. You know that I understand the pain you go through when you lose a child. I lost my daughter twice. It can really mess you up. If you feel like you need a little break from the stress and pressure of the world — and there’s a lot out there, isn’t there? — Then a place like shadybrook, it might help you. It helped me more than I can tell you. I appreciate your understanding, nina, but I don’t need a break. You sure about that? I can’t think of anything worse than sitting around obsessing about my problems. That’s why dr. Sheffer has scheduled outpatient therapy sessions for me. Oh. Okay. Well, that’s wonderful. Mm-hmm. I know I need help, and I’m getting it. The worst really is over. Maybe you can help me out. How do you think that name is pronounced? Oh, that’s “muh-zush-kuh.” Muh– zush-kuh. Right there, see? All I see are consonants.

[ Giggles ] What — muh-zush-kuh.Muh-zush-kuh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. How’d you know? A ukrainian arachnologist came to pautuck once to study a local spider. Mina muzyczka. Spelled it theam.Always a good strategy. Stalking?! I’m — I’m aghast. The — the very idea is anathema. Okay. When you start using words I do not understand, that only means one thing — you’re hiding something. Very well. If I may be perfectly honest…

[ Scoffs ] …I-I just — I-I don’t think austin is your perfect match. Not important. I was just on the phone. Welcome back to my not-so-humble abode.

[ Horse neighs ] It looks great. ‘Cause it is great. I just can’t imagine living with horses. Well, I do have a little apartment upstairs, you know. They don’t make me sleep in the hay. So, uh, where are we going for dinner? I thought that we could eat here outside, underneath the stars. You know, I ordered from metro court. You ordered for me? Well, yeah, I know how hard doctors work, and tonight, I just want you to relax. I’ll take care of everything.

If I were a phone, where would I be? There you are. Oh. And there you are. Wow. That is a lot of missed calls. And voicemails. And texts. I’ve been dodging brook lynn. Oh, look, lucky number 11. Uh, “don’t make me hunt u down. B at the haunted star or else.” Well, normally, I would recommend witness protection, but with brook lynn, she’d probably still find you. If I get up there tonight, I have to prove to everyone that I’m worth listening to. What if the audience doesn’t agree? Well, then all your dreams will vanish, and you’ll just have to go back to being a singing waiter. I’d rather be a singing waiter. Yeah, I think you’d be terrific. Look, so — so what’s the big problem? Chase: Linc owns your songs. I punched him in the face. He’s not gonna want anything to do with us. And now you want him to manage me? I mean, what’s that about? Linc is dirty, and once he buys out your contract, you’ll be in the perfect position to get the goods on him. Well, brook lynn has a plan. When doesn’t she? To get back at her former music producer that I punched. How can I help? You can give me a doctor’s note to get out of it. Done. But if you really don’t want to sing for brook lynn tonight, why don’t you just tell her? I do not need a matchmaker, spinelli.

I decide whether or not austin and I are perfect match, not you. Now, be nice. Ah. Dr. Gatlin-holt. Here you go. Thank you. Uh, thank you for the ale. Well — much appreciated. Cheers.

[ Indistinct conversations ] Mm! Hi. I’m looking for chase. Okay. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome!

[ Applause ] Settle in with your favorite beverage and get ready to be impressed. Open mic night is a night that could change someone’s life. So, uh, you ready for that riding lesson? I didn’t think you were serious about that.

[ Chuckles ] Come on. It’ll be fun. Look, you don’t — obviously, don’t have to ride, but just come meet comet. Uh, I can see comet just fine from here. You don’t have to be nervous. The qs bought this horse for a child to ride. You’re perfectly safe, I promise. I told you, I don’t like horses. Alright, so you just made up your mind, and that’s it? I know what I like and what I don’t like. Why won’t you let this go? I just want you to try and pet the — and I said no. Okay. Alright. We’re on our first date, right? So we’re supposed to be on our best behavior, getting to know each other, at least trying to. And by choosing to not listen to me when I tell you I don’t like horses, you’re refusing to get to know me. If you’re so opposed to new experiences, you might as well be dead. Alright, fine. I’m sorry, what? Maybe you are… not wrong. Maybe I have been a little stubborn. So, you’re saying… let’s meet this comet. Mm-hmm. I know I thanked you before, nina, but that was not enough. You really picked the perfect outfit.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Cellphone ringing ] For you? I can leave if you want to talk to willow. I’m not ready. Did something happen between you two? No, it’s, uh, nothing like that. Um… I found out willow’s pregnant. That must have been hard to hear. I hate that you’re going through this tough time. Eh, sasha’s in so much pain. Whatever I’m going through or need to feel, that can — it can wait. Well, but don’t forget to take care of yourself, ’cause whatever pain that you don’t think you need to go through right now, it — it doesn’t just go away. I hear you. I do. Alright. I hope you do, because at least I feel like I’m giving you something that’s helpful.

[ Both chuckle ] Whatever you say, it’s always helpful. Really. Talking like this, it’s —

[ Clicks tongue ] If you need anything, I’m here. I promise. I’m sure everyone will recognize our first performer from her show-stopping performances at the nurses’ ball. Ladies and gentlemen, epiphany johnson! -Yeah! -Whoo! Marshall: Yeah!

No, he doesn’T.

[ Sighs ] Look, okay? You wanted me to try. I tried. Experiment over. I-I think I should go. You can’t leave. I can’t? No, yocan’t leave yet ’cause we haven’t had dinner. Okay.

[ Sighs ] This is obviously not working. I mean, according to you, I am bad-tempered, judgmental, and devoutly allergic to fun. Why do you want me to stay? Well, because underneath all of that attitude, every once in a while, I see a glimpse of a woman who is whip-smart, wickedly funny, and passionate about life. Look, britt, I just want to get to know you a little bit better. Will you let me? So, uh, the nanny is reading “my truck is stuck!” To wiley, and he seems very quiet and happy. So I say we make a run for it.

[ Chuckles ] I’m ready. Oh, uh, before I forget, what is your next obgyn appointment? ‘Cause I want to block out the time in my calendar. You know, you don’t have to come to every single appointment. I want to be involved. Just — jonah and wiley’s births were very traumatic. And this time everything’s going to be different. No cult leaders or sociopaths? No, just you and me, and wiley. And the 300 other members of your two families. Right, exactly. You know, it’s — it’s crazy, isn’t it, that there is no craziness, no threat lurking out there threatening to ruin everything? So far, so good, huh?

[ Cheers and applause ] That was wonderful. How do you feel? You were right. Music is good for the soul. I must say, not only do you feel better, but you lifted up every person in this room with that song.

[ Laughs ] And you are a smooth talker. Nuh-unh-unh, no, no, no. I only speak the truth. Mm. What happened? Man, she threw down. We missed it? Yes, you did. Would it kill you to return a phone call? And what are you wearing? You can’t go on stage like that. Look, about that, I don’t — linc: Brook lynn.

[ Sighs ] Detective. Is it still detective? Get lost, linc. Hey, I just came over ’cause I’m concerned about you, baby. Will watching other people perform remind you of the talent that you lost forever? I mean, you sure had a set of pipes on you. It’s — it’s a tragedy you can’t sing any longer. Well, thank you for the phony concern, but I’m better than ever. Is that right? It is, because I’ve found something that I want more than fame. Really? Would that be you?

[ Sighs ] You saw my meltdown on “home & heart,” didn’t you? I did. It’s funny, I — I barely remember it. But I do remember seeing liam. I mean thinking that I saw liam. I-I know that he wasn’t there. But in the moment, I was so happy. And I know that that wasn’t the pills. You know, they were responsible for the hallucination. But the feeling — no, I know. I know. I know. I know the feeling, that you would do anything just to stop the pain. I know. Can I tell you something? Yeah. Anything. Part of me wishes… that I could just live in that mirage. I mean, feeling him in my arms, nina. He had weight and warmth and breath. And he has such a beautiful smile. Yeah. Yeah.

[ Crying ] Thanks. For everything. As usual. Anytime. And, uh, you know, whenever you need me… yeah, I may need you for something. Name it. I want you to give me the name of the paparazzi scum who gave drugs to sasha. It’s felty. I’m gonna have a little talk with felty. Make sure he never gives drugs to sasha or anybody again. I want in on that talk.

You gonna take a turn on the stage? That’s why I’m here. Brave man. Crowds like this can — can be brutal. Break a leg. You’re really doing it? I mean, that was the plan, right? I got the impression that you only showed up to turn me down. Your former manager is probably the most disgusting person I’ve ever met. I want to give you the satisfaction of nailing him. Thank you. Now come with me. Spinelli: Alright, so get this, okay? His brain was stolen. And of course they’re going to get it back. But in order to keep…

[Speaking indistinctly] Well, I had no doubt that chase would come through for brook lynn. But why is this performance so important to her? I don’t know. But with brook lynn, it’s best not to ask too many questions.

[ Chuckles ] I mean, it’s too visionary, I mean, just — just too cutting-edge for 1960s broadcast television.

[ Grunts ] Ow.

[ Clears throat ] Austin: You all right? Uh, yes, I indeed am — I am well. Um… austin, were you ever a trekkie? I didn’t watch a lot of tv. Pity. But I did see one of the movies, I think, the one about the whales? An excellent film, hm? Well, this is better, right? Certainly smells better.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. I guess riding isn’t for everyone. Sorry about that. I shouldn’t have pushed you. So why don’t we just stay here and talk? That’s why we’re here, right? Get to know each other better? Okay. I’ll go first.

[ Clears throat ] So, cody, you’ve… lived in a lot of places. I have. Where? Any place with mountains or prairies. How about you? I have seen a lot of the world. Yeah. Sounds like you’ve had, uh, some adventures. I’ve traveled for leisure, for education, once as an international fugitive, so yeah. Wow. That’s, um — that’s — it’s a lot.

[ Clears throat ] Yeah, I could see where that could wear down on you. Yeah, it can. Uh, I’m not like you, enamored by the nomadic lifestyle. Well, you know, I used to love the life of a nomad, but I’ve done my wandering. You know, I just want to put down roots, maybe get a little house of my own. White picket fence, suv, a wife to bring you your slippers? No, my mom would tan my hide if I ever expected a woman to wait on me. Smart lady. No, I just want an equal partner, you know? Someone to grow old with, maybe raise a couple kids. You want kids? Yes…? Wait, where are you going? Home. This is a complete waste of time. What the hell was zelda thinking saying we’re a match? I want you to know that I realize having liam with me here was a fantasy. A beautiful fantasy. I understand, of course, why you would yearn for that. So you don’t think I’m crazy? Well, if you were to ask around, the majority opinion would be I’m not the perfect judge to define crazy or sanity, but no, sasha. You’re not crazy for wanting your baby back. As long as I know that it can never happen. This might be something that you talk to dr. Sheffer about. Good idea. Yeah. I will do that. Let me know when you locate him. On it. And if you need me to do anything… don’t get carried away. But this is the time to impress me with how well you follow orders. Got it. Are — are you going after felty now? You’re sending that bastard? You can go. You said you wanted to go. You have every right. Yeah, I would — I want to. But I can’T. I mean, I — sasha needs me more than I need revenge. Besides, I — I trust you to take care of it. Oh, I will. I promise.

Hey. Hey. Hey. You were gone for a while. Was there a problem? Uh, no. I just ran into sonny, and we got to talking. Is sonny still here? No, sorry. Um, he had to take care of something. Well, as luck would have it, I have to get going, too. Here you go. Thank you. Yeah. For everything, for the clothes, for — for everything. Yeah. I love you, and I’m just a phone call away, okay? I know. I’ll see you. Thanks. So you really were just talking to sonny? They haven’t hit a snag with the discharge papers? Deanna said the paperwork is on its way up from admin. Really? Good. That’s good. Uh, why would you think that there was a problem? Well, I know that you think it’s too soon for me to come home. Yes. I mean, I-I am concerned that we’re jumping the gun, but… it’s, um… it’s your call. And I would never go behind your back like that. I know. I’m sorry. We’re a team, right? 100%. What did I miss? You’re not at all the man I thought you were. Okay, I know I didn’t make a great first impression — you’re so boring! Sorry, what? I-I thought at least you’d have some good stories, traveling around like you have. I have great stories. And it seems like they’re all in the past, because right now, all you want to do is sit on your porch and rock yourself to sleep. I never said any of that! And yet you make it perfectly clear. So… once and for all, cody, goodbye. I-I hope you find a nice, boring wife to give you lots and lots of kids, at least a dozen. I don’t even want any kids! What game are you playing?

[ Applause ] I hope that’s not the hospital. I’ll be back. Let’s hear it for kathy muzyczka! Man: Whoosh!

[ Applause ] Okay, and now another one of the nurses’ ball favorites, harrison chase. Woman: Whoo!

[ Applause ] -Go, chase! -Alright, man.

[ Coughs ]

Do you remember

how we used to be

when things were better?

Can’t help but think that we

could get back to where we first started

go back and I’ll take you there

there’s still time for us to make it right

if you come with me

come with me

do you remember

times that we would spend all night together

we can’t let this be the end

so let’s get back to where we first started

go back and I’ll take you there

there’s still time for us to make it right

if you come with me

oh-oh-oh-oh

if you come with me

whoa

[ Vocalizing ]

If you come with me

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

if you come with me

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

whoa-oh-oh

[ Cheers and applause ] Thank you. Man: Alright.

I want to do is fallface-down into our bed with you and stay there forever. Or until I get hungry. Then I want pizza. Oh. Are you saying you missed me? Do you have to ask? It has been a long, long, long 72 hours. Mm. I thought, I don’t know, maybe you were mad at me for sticking you in here. Brando, you did exactly what I needed you to do. I just didn’t know it. So we’re good? Always. Good. ‘Cause I really missed you, too. And I promise, sasha, no matter what, I will always be there for you. You better. Well, this has been fun, but I really need to get back to studying. I hope you learned the most important lesson tonight.

[ Chuckles ] What’s that? Never listen to a jazz man.

[ Laughs ] We’re a bad influence. But jazz men are known to have a good time. That’s right. So I figured it was worth the risk.

[ Both laugh ] Come on. Was that — was I — amazing. It was not terrible at all. Well, it started off a little shaky, but whatever. I had fun.Trust me. Performing is all about a strong finish. You wow the audience by the end, no one cares what you did by the top. I’ll remember that.

[ Whistles ] Listen, I’m — seriously, bro, I’m so proud of you. Oh, my god! You were fantastic. Hey. Thank you. You owned that stage. I mean, best part is, I was right. I love being right.

[ Laughter ] Michael: We — we have to take off, but that was a hell of a performance. Congratulations, man. I appreciate it, michael. Means a lot. Alright. Yeah, bro, I-I got to get going, too. But, um, next time, I’m bringing dad. Well, if there is a next time. Oh, there will be a next time. Well, then bring everybody.

[ Laughs ] Proud of you, alright? I’ll see you. Bye. So? Did the fish take the bait? Here’s to hoping. I’m gonna make myself scarce, and we’ll see what happens. Where did, uh, dr. Gatlin-holt disappear to? Uh, he had to take a call. Why do you ask? Itching for more trekkie talk?

[ Sighs ] Austin is a — he’s a — he’s a good listener. Perhaps I’ve been a tad overprotective. Yes. Yes, you have, spinelli. Okay? Austin is a good man, and you need to start being nicer to him. Now. I cannot be seen here with you. Careful. You’re gonna hurt my feelings. I was really clear about that when you came to visit me at the campsite. What the hell are you doing here? I’m not playing a game. Okay, then. You don’t want kids? Why did you say you did? Because…while having kids may not be a high priority, you know, I’d be open to it if my wife wanted them. That’s — that’s all I meant. Aw. Do you have a bridge you’d like to sell me while you’re at it? All you’ve been doing is telling me what you think I want to hear. So why? What do you want from me?

[ Cellphone rings ] Talk to me. I found felty. Good. You know what to do. I’ll be there. You got it. Congratulations, detective. It was a great performance. What do you want? I want to know… have you considered a career in music? What? Yeah.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Allie: I don’t know how to feel. It’s like one minute my mom and dad are getting married and then the next, he’s arrested for her kidnapping, and then she’s gone.

[Knocking at door] Uh, hey, someone’s at the door. So I have to go, but thank you for checking in on me, tripp, and tell joey and stephanie I say hey.

[Phone beeps] Hi, grandma kate.

Kate: Hi, honey. I just wanted to check on you– see how you’re doing.

Allie: [Sighs] How I’m doing? Um, well I’m just praying that my father isn’t a murderer.

Kate: Well, hopefully, today your prayers will be answered.

Allie: You don’t think he killed abigail?

Kate: No. No, I don’t, and I think maybe we’re going to get proof of that today.

Lucas: I just wish I could remember every single detail from that night.

Marlena: Well, I think the hypnosis got us part of the way there. Maybe we can get some– some more clarity after they interview sarah.

Lucas: [Sighs] What was sarah doing at the dimera mansion when I saw her?

Marlena: Only she has the answer to that.

Lucas: [Sighs] I hope she can prove to me and to rafe and to chad that I didn’t kill abigail.

Rafe: Chad, I just wanted to give you a heads-up. I’m bringing in a person of interest.

Chad: A per–a person of interest, what does that mean?

Rafe: Well, we aren’t sure yet.

Chad: All right, well, I’m comin’ down there.

Rafe: Uh, no. No, you’re not. No way in hell.

Maggie: Who are you?

Jada: Detective jada hunter, salem pd.

Maggie: And you have an objection to this marriage?

Sarah: Do you know her?

Xander: Never seen her before in my life.

Jada: I’m afraid I have to bring you in for questioning.

Maggie: Oh, no, xander. What have you done now?

Jada: Not him–her. I’m here for dr. Sarah horton.

Maggie: Sarah?

Sarah: Me? Why?

Xander: What could you possibly need to question sarah about?

Jada: The murder of abigail dimera.

[Dramatic music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Chad: Well, I need to know what information this person has. Are they a suspect? Does it mean that lucas didn’t do it?

Rafe: Listen to me, chad. I’m doing everything by the book here, and you’ve shown to me that you can’t restrain yourself.

Chad: This is my wife’s murder we’re talking about.

Rafe: I understand that, chad. But if you go off the handle again, you could jeopardize the entire investigation.

Chad: Rafe, just tell me who it is.

Rafe: I’m sorry. When I know more, I will let you know, but I need you to promise me to stay out of it.

Chad: How–how the hell am I supposed to do that? You want me to find somebody to chain me to a chair?

Sonny: Oh, I could do that if you need me to.

[Cell phone beeps]

Xander: Well, detective hunter, you’ve obviously been given some bad information.

Jada: I don’t think so.

Maggie: How come I’ve never heard of you before?

Jada: I just got hired today.

Xander: [Laughs] That explains it.

Jada: Explains what, mr. Cook?

Xander: You’re anxious to prove yourself on your first day, but I promise you, harassing a couple of upstanding citizens isn’t the way. Go talk to commissioner hernandez about it.

Jada: He’s the one that sent me here.

Maggie: Rafe sent you, why?

Xander: Because he made a big mistake. Sarah doesn’t know anything about the murder of abigail dimera.

Jada: I’d like to hear her say that.

Sarah: I don’T.

Jada: That’s funny, because we have an eyewitness who puts you at the scene of the crime on the night mrs. Dimera was killed.

Migraine attacks?

Allie: What I don’t understand is, at the wedding, my dad admitted to kidnapping my mom, so why is he pleading not guilty?

Kate: Well, because I convinced him to fight the charges.

Allie: Why?

Kate: Because I was afraid that if he confessed to kidnapping your mom, that they would just go ahead and charge him for abigail’s murder.

Allie: Are you sure he didn’t do it?

Kate: Allie, of course he didn’t do it.

Allie: I don’t wanna believe it either, but if my dad was capable of kidnapping my mom, lying about it for months, keeping it from all of us…

Kate: [Sighs] Look, um, there’s something that I have to talk to you about.

Chanel: Johnny. What are you doing here?

Johnny: Uh, waiting for you. Look, I need you, chanel.

Chanel: Well, I’m right here.

Sonny: So you need me to stop you from going to the police station?

Chad: No, I need to go to the police station–

Sonny: I don’t think that’s–

Chad: Stop! I wanna find out who killed my wife!

Sonny: And you will! You will, okay? But in order for rafe to find out who killed her, he needs to be able to focus on the case instead of dealing with you.

Chad: All right, so well then, what do I do then? Just sit here and do nothing while I’m losing my mind?

Sonny: I’ll keep you company, okay? I will help keep your mind off things until we have just a little bit more information.

Chad: And how am I supposed to think about anything else? Because I just keep running the same questions over and over again, which is, could it be true that lucas killed abby and could he be that desperate to protect his secret?

Sonny: I know. I mean, will was asking the same exact questions before he left.

Chad: Where’d he go?

Sonny: Some new project in hollywood. I–I practically had to force him to go.

[Scoffs]

Chad: And does he think that his dad could be the–the one who did it?

Sonny: No. No, and neither do I. It’s just not the lucas that either of us know.

Chad: Why? He kidnapped sami. He’s off the wagon. Who knows what he can do?

Sonny: Okay, fine, but we can’t jump to conclusions.

Chad: Yeah, well, you and will should probably accept the fact it could be him.

Sonny: Okay, and you have to accept the fact that these new pieces of information coming out could totally vindicate him.

Chad: Oh, we’ll see.

Sonny: We all want the same thing, chad. All right? The truth, and it’s rafe’s job to find that. So just let him do his job. Okay?

Rafe: Excuse me.

Marlena: Of course.

Rafe: Sarah is being brought in as we speak. In the meantime, lucas, I’ll need to get a statement from you.

Lucas: All right, I’ll say whatever you need me to say.

Rafe: Yeah, well, just explain everything that happened that night– whatever you remember.

Lucas: All right. I’m ready. I mean, I can do that now.

Rafe: Great. I’ll just grab my recorder.

[Dramatic music]

Lucas: Thank you for helping me remember. I mean, I know it was a lot to ask after everything I did to sami.

Marlena: You know, I can’t begin to understand why you did what you did, and I certainly don’t condone it.

Lucas: I’m so sorry that I hurt her. I’m sorry I hurt you and my kids, and I know I lost sami forever, and I know it’s my own damn fault.

Marlena: I don’t disagree with you there.

Lucas: But now that i remember seeing sarah at the mansion, I can remember more, right? I mean, that’s possible, right?

Marlena: It certainly is possible for memories to come back days, even weeks after hypnosis.

Lucas: Good, ’cause I kind of feel like it’s doing that now. I feel like, you know, the fog’s clearing.

Marlena: That would be good.

Lucas: I hope so. I just hope that sarah can prove that it wasn’t me–that it wasn’t me who hurt abigail.

Xander: Wait, who is this person who claims they saw sarah?

Maggie: And what exactly did they see?

Jada: I can’t give you that information, except to say that the eyewitness placed your daughter at the dimera mansion on the night of the murder.

Xander: Oh, well, I can assure you that sarah was nowhere near the mansion that night, and wouldn’t have even had a reason to go there, right?

Sarah: It’s not true.

Sonny: Chad, come on, buddy. You’re gonna wear a hole in the floor.

Chad: Can’t sit still. I don’t know what to do with all of this anger and guilt.

Sonny: G–guilt about what? You didn’t do anything wrong.

Chad: Guess you have talked to ej.

Sonny: Ej? Why–what would ej have to say?

Chad: He’s bitter that kate let him rot in prison when she knew that lucas was the one that kidnapped sami, and what he didn’t know was that I knew about it too.

Sonny: I’m sorry–wait, what? You knew?

Chad: Yeah, I discovered lucas planting the evidence that incriminated ej in the first place, and I kept quiet.

Sonny: Why?

Chad: ‘Cause he was trying to cut me out of dimera, and he kept–he kept trying to cause trouble with abby and me.

Sonny: So you sent your brother to jail?

Chad: Yeah, I’m a great brother.

Sonny: I’m not saying it’s something you should be proud of, but I mean, I’m sure you had your reasons.

Chad: Yeah, I had my reasons.

Sonny: So what now? Is ej gonna press charges?

Chad: No. Not if I sign over all of my shares of dimera to him.

Sonny: Are you gonna do that?

Allie: This sounds serious, grandma.

Kate: It is serious.

[Sighs] Um, you were talking about your dad and your mom and the kidnapping, and, um–

[Knocking at door]

Allie: Um, hang on.

[Door clicks open] Oh, hi.

Marlena: Hello, sweetheart.

Allie: I have both my grandmas visiting. Well, come in.

Marlena: I didn’t know you were going to be here.

Kate: Yeah, well, I came over to tell allie about lucas’ hypnosis session with you, and maybe you can tell us both now. Were you able to get him to go under?

Marlena: I was.

Kate: So did he remember anything about the night of abigail’s murder?

Marlena: He did. I wasn’t going to discuss it with you, except that lucas has asked me to share whatever he recalled with his family, and yes, he did remember going to the mansion that night.

Kate: Oh, god.

Allie: Did he do it, grandma? Did he kill aunt abigail?

Marlena: Uh, he remembers getting there, and nobody answered the door, so he went around the back through the french doors.

Allie: [Sighs] So he was definitely at the mansion?

Marlena: He was, and he was making himself a drink when the knife he was cutting the lemon with slipped, and he cut himself.

Kate: Oh, my god, so he didn’t use the knife on abigail.

Allie: Did he remember anything else?

Marlena: He did. He said there was somebody else there that night.

[Recorder beeps]

Rafe: So tell me again how you entered the dimera mansion.

Lucas: I let myself in through the living room doors.

Rafe: And what did you do once you were inside?

Lucas: I made myself a drink, and um, I went to cut a lemon, but my hands were shaky and the knife slipped, and it sliced my hand.

Rafe: And what happened next?

Lucas: I walked toward the foyer, and that’s when I saw her.

Rafe: Who did you see?

Lucas: Sarah horton.

Rafe: Did she see you?

Lucas: No. No, she was agitated. She was running towards the door.

Rafe: Agitated?

Lucas: Yeah, I’d say she was in a total panic.

Sarah: Actually, I did have a reason to go to the mansion that night.

Maggie: Sweetheart…

Jada: What was the reason?

Sarah: To see abigail.

Xander: Sarah, you don’t have to do this.

Sarah: I want to.

Jada: Why would you be looking for your cousin?

Sarah: I had a conversation with dr. Marlena evans that day.

Jada: The psychiatrist?

Sarah: Yeah, she’s, um, she’s been treating me.

Jada: I understand you’ve recently been through a trauma.

Maggie: A trauma? She was kidnapped. She was drugged. She was held hostage by a maniac.

Xander: I don’t see what this has to do with anything.

Jada: What was the conversation you had with dr. Evans?

Sarah: We, uh, we talked about adjusting my meds, and she suggested that I go speak to abigail, because she’d been through something similar.

Jada: You think that was a good idea?

Sarah: Yes.

Jada: So you admit you went to see her that night?

[Dramatic music]

Chanel: I’m really sorry your family’s going through this.

Johnny: Thanks. I just want my dad to be okay.

Chanel: Well, he seems like a tough guy, kind of like his son.

Johnny: [Chuckles] Yeah, I don’t always feel that way.

Chanel: Are you kidding me? Look at what you’ve gone through this year. You literally battled the freaking devil for your soul, and you came out on the other side.

Johnny: I still lost you.

Chanel: [Sighs] Things happen, G.

Johnny: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, things happen. I mean, my mom and dad, they could’ve found a way back to each other, but now my mom left town. No one knows if or when she’ll ever come home. My uncle chad just lost my aunt abigail forever, and I don’t want that to happen to us.

Chanel: I’m not going anywhere. I’m still your friend

Johnny: But I want more than that. Look, I wanna give us another try. Before the devil ruined everything, you and I were so happy. We were so happy. Meeting you, falling in love with you, getting married in italy–that was the best time of my life, and I think that you were pretty happy too.

Chanel: So much has happened since then.

Johnny: Not for me, because the feelings are still just as strong. They never went away. But these are just words. I wanna show you

you never know

what opportunities

Chanel: Giovanni, what–what is this? What are you doing?

Johnny: Open it.

Chanel: This was my engagement ring.

Johnny: Yeah.

Chanel: But I threw it at you.

Johnny: No, you threw it at the devil. I found it stashed in a bureau. The second I picked it up, I just–all these memories, they came rushing back. You remember that day we were walking by that church I used to go to when I was ten?

Chanel: Yeah, I was staring up at the stained glass, and it was so beautiful, and then i turned around, and you were down on one knee.

Johnny: You know, I put that ring on your finger. You said it was the most beautiful thing you’d ever seen.

Chanel: And you said I was the most beautiful thing you’d ever seen.

Johnny: You still are. We were married that night, and you called it the most romantic day of your life.

Chanel: Why are you doing this? I already told you what I needed right now, and you said that you would respect my wishes.

Johnny: I tried, chanel! I tried, okay? So hard. But I can’t do it. I just can’t keep pretending that I’m not still in love with you.

[Dramatic music]

Allie: Dad saw sarah in the mansion the night of the murder?

Marlena: That’s what he said.

Kate: But what the hell was she doing there?

Marlena: We don’t know. Rafe is sending a detective to talk to her. Maybe she can remember something that could help lucas.

Kate: Yeah, well, assuming she’s not the murderer.

Allie: Why would sarah kill abigail?

Kate: I don’t know. I don’t know, but anything’s possible.

Marlena: Rafe said he would contact me if has any news at all, so if I hear from him, I will let you know.

Kate: Look, I wanna thank you for helping. I know that–I know that you’re upset with me and with lucas, so…

Allie: Wait, what? Grandma kate, why would she be upset with you?

Chad: Ej can have my shares. I don’t care about them. They mean nothing to me.

Sonny: Really? You don’t–you don’t care about them at all?

Chad: No, honestly, I owe him after what I did. This morning, he pointed out my hypocrisy.

Sonny: Hypocrisy? Your hypoc–how are you a hypocrite?

Chad: Well, I went after him for allowing clyde weston to stay free when he was a threat to the family. Meanwhile, I did the exact same thing with lucas.

Sonny: Okay, well, I don’t think it’s fair to compare lucas to clyde weston.

Chad: He kidnapped sami and it may have cost abby her life.

Sonny: Okay, we don’t know that.

Chad: Well, if it is true, and lucas did kill her, then I could’ve prevented it if I told the truth. He would be behind bars, and abby could be alive still.

Sonny: Okay, chad.

Chad: If that is true, I will never forgive myself.

Sarah: I didn’t say that I was at the mansion. I just said that I was planning on speaking to abigail.

Jada: Seems like you’re parsing your words, dr. Horton. Were you there or weren’t you?

Maggie: You have no right to harass my daughter.

Jada: I just want her to answer the question.

Xander: Sarah, don’t say another word.

Jada: Please stay out of it, mr. Cook.

Xander: Listen to me, sarah. You don’t have to answer anything. You don’t have to talk to her at all if you don’t want to.

Jada: He’s right, but it would make me wonder what it is you’re hiding.

Xander: Detective, that’s enough. In case you haven’t noticed, you interrupted our wedding, and I’m gonna have to ask you to leave.

Rafe: You said sarah headed for the door? Did she run off?

Lucas: She stopped in the doorway.

Rafe: Why did she stop?

Lucas: I think she dropped something.

Rafe: Did you see what it was? Was it a knife? After trying lots of things to manage her

Johnny: Look, I wanted to be patient. I tried to give you your space, but I watched my parents’ lives fall apart. I watched my uncle chad have his heart ripped out, and all i could think about was just how– how quickly it can all go away. One minute, you’re starting your new life together; the next–gone, and so it became impossible to wait… because every minute that goes by without me telling you how I feel is a minute wasted, and I’m not gonna do it. I’m not gonna stand back and risk losing you, chanel, because I know that you’re the right person for me, and I’m the right person for you, and I know you might have feelings for my sister, but I believe in my soul that we belong together, and we can’t lose any more time.

[Dramatic music]

Will you marry me, chanel?

Marlena: You didn’t tell her?

Allie: Tell me what? Will somebody explain to me what’s going on?

Kate: I was about to tell you when um–when marlena knocked on the door. Allie, I just–I don’t know how to say it. I knew that your dad kidnapped your mom.

Allie: What? You knew the whole time?

Kate: No, I didn’T. I didn’t know the whole time. I found out after she had been rescued, because believe me, if–if I had known while she was still missing, I would’ve told someone.

Allie: Yeah, easy to say now. You let me go on and on about what a hero my dad was, and meanwhile, you knew–you knew that he was–I don’t even know what to call him.

Kate: He is still your father, allie.

Allie: No, he’s a kidnapper and maybe worse.

Kate: No, we don’t know that.

Allie: Why didn’t you say anything? You just sat at the wedding with your mouth shut while they– while they exchanged vows, they exchanged rings?

Kate: Yes. Yes, because I believed that they loved each other.

Allie: He kidnapped her! The whole thing was based on a lie. If chad hadn’t burst in, they’d be married right now.

Kate: Allie, I’m just– I am so sorry. I’m so sorry.

Allie: Does grandpa roman know?

Kate: Yes, he does, and um, he’s broken off our relationship. He doesn’t want to see or talk to me anymore.

Allie: Good. Neither do I.

Sonny: Just relax. Sit down. Okay, you gotta take one thing at a time, all right? Rafe is gonna find out if it was lucas or somebody else, and then he’s gonna bring that person to justice.

Chad: Great. I mean, as much as I want to find out who the killer is, it’s not gonna change anything. I mean, abby’s still gone. I’m nothing without her.

Sonny: Hey, knock it off, okay? That’s not true. You still have the kids.

Chad: Yeah, I’m about as good a father to them as I am a brother to ej.

Sonny: You are a great father, all right? You love them, and they know that.

Chad: Yeah, I love them with every fiber of my being, but it’s really hard to be a loving dad when you are so filled with…rage and regret.

Sonny: Chad, you’re doing your best.

Chad: Am I? Doesn’t feel that way. You know, when abby used to put them to bed, she would–she would always tell them this long, beautiful story with a new adventure every night. She would do all of the… voices and sing songs, and it was the best part of the day for all three of them and me most nights. It’s all–it’s all I got– just to read a chapter without breaking down in front of them.

Sonny: Okay, fine, but you’re with them, okay? And they feel that. You’re trying, and that’s all that matters.

Chad: Yeah, but what if it’s not enough? What if I’m not enough?

Sonny: Okay, hey, look at me. Listen to me. The next time you’re feeling overwhelmed–that you feel like you need backup, you call me, all right? I’m your friend. Actually, I’m your best friend the last time I checked. Okay, so if you need help sprucing up a story, taking the kids to the park, movie theater, I’m here. I’m here, no matter what, and that means I’m also here for you–any time you need to talk on the phone, any hour of the day or night.

Chad: [Sniffles] You’re running titan though.

Sonny: Doesn’t matter. I don’t care. I promise I’ll always make time for you, no matter what.

Rafe: So what sarah was looking at on the floor, was it a knife?

Lucas: I don’t know.

Rafe: What does that mean? You know, like, you didn’t see it, or you don’t remember?

Lucas: I do remember. It’s just her back was to me, and I saw her bend down to pick something up, and then she shoved it into her pocket, but i couldn’t make out what it was. Then she ran off. Sorry.

Rafe: Okay. So then what did you do next? Did you go after her?

Lucas: No.

Rafe: Did you go upstairs? Did you see abigail?

Jada: I’m afraid I can’t leave without getting answers to my questions.

Xander: You’ll get your answers, I assure you, but not right now.

Maggie: Please, detective. Give them a chance to get married.

Xander: I promise you, sarah will be in touch. But right now, we have to finish our wedding.

Jada: Is that what you want, dr. Horton?

Sarah: Baby, I’m so sorry. I can’t do this right now.

Xander: Sarah, I know this has been very upsetting, but clearly, the detective has made a big mistake.

Jada: So you’ve said.

Xander: Detective, please. Look, tomorrow, we’ll go down to the police station together, and we’ll straighten all this out. But right now, today, all I wanna do is marry you, to finally make you my wife, and– maggie, help me out here.

Maggie: We were almost up to the vows. It would be five more minutes, and the two of you would be married.

Sarah: Honey, I can’T. I can’T. This is–this is too much. Like, how can I give our wedding my full attention when–

Xander: None of this matters.

Sarah: I wanna cooperate. She’s trying to solve abigail’s murder, and I loved abigail. She rescued me. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t be here with you now.

Maggie: I understand. Of course.

Sarah: You understand that I have to do everything I can to help–answer all of her questions? I’ll go with you.

Xander: Sarah, no.

Jada: Good decision.

Sarah: I have nothing to hide. I’ll make a statement. I’ll tell you anything you want.

Xander: Detective, can we– please, can you at least give us a moment alone?

[Dramatic music]

Lucas: I remember now. I remember; it’s all coming back to me. After sarah left, I didn’t go upstairs. I didn’t see abigail.

Rafe: What did you do?

Lucas: My hand–my hand was throbbing, and I looked down, and it was bleeding, and i didn’t wanna bleed all over the place, so–so I went back to the bar to grab another towel. Once I wrapped the towel around my hand, I went back out the way I came in.

Rafe: You left through the french doors?

Lucas: Yes!

Rafe: Okay, so where did you go?

Kate: Allie, if you could just give me a chance to explain–

Allie: There’s nothing to explain. You lied. You protected a criminal.

Kate: I protected my son, because I didn’t want him to go to prison.

Allie: I can’t listen to these excuses. Grandma, I have to get out of here. Can you watch henry?

Kate: I’ll watch henry.

Allie: No, you stay away from him. He’s sleeping; do you mind?

Marlena: No. But I do–but–

Chanel: Johnny, get up, get up!

Johnny: Okay, okay, okay, I’ll get up, because you asked me to. But I’m still waiting on an answer. You–you admitted how happy you were with me, and we would still be together right now if not for the devil.

Chanel: Maybe.

Johnny: No, not “maybe.” Right now, you and I would be looking forward to celebrating our first anniversary together.

Chanel: So much has happened since then.

Johnny: I know. I know, I know. And–and–and we’ve lost a lot of time, but we don’t have to lose any more. Look, I want you, chanel. I need you. I love you… and I know you love me.

[Dramatic music]

Sonny: Here you go, man.

Chad: Thank you.

Sonny: [Sighs]

Chad: Did you hear something?

Sonny: Hear what?

Chad: It sounded like there was a car in the driveway.

Sonny: No, I didn’t– I didn’t hear anything. We’re safe.

Chad: That’s right. It happens all the time. I hear a car in the driveway, or someone outside the door, and for a moment, I think that it’s her, and she’s gonna walk into the room and light it up with her smile. Every morning, before I wake up, before I open up my eyes, there’s a–a second or two while I’m still half asleep, and–and I think to myself that when i roll over, she’s gonna be right there next to me.

[Sobbing] But she’s not– but she’s not at the door, and she’s not lying in bed next to me, and she never will be.

[Sobbing] I’m sorry.

Sonny: Come on, man. You don’t have to apologize.

Chad: [Sobbing] It’s just–it’s just that i feel–I feel so lost, and I– and this just takes everything that I have to hold it all together.

Sonny: You don’t have to– chad, hey.

[Glass clanks]

Sonny: You don’t have to.

Chad: [Crying]

Lucas: I staggered out the doors, and I remember thinking I had to get out of there as soon as possible. But I was so drunk. I kept falling. But I kept gettin’ up, and I made it. I made it to the salem inn.

Rafe: So you went straight to the inn from there?

Lucas: Yeah! Yeah! I mean, I don’t know how I ended up in my room, but– you know what this means? This means I didn’t do it, rafe! I didn’t do it! I didn’t go upstairs! I didn’t kill abigail! I didn’t do it! I didn’t kill her!

Jada: I’ll wait in the foyer for you, dr. Horton.

Maggie: I’ll walk you out, detective.

Xander: Sarah, this is crazy. There’s no reason for you to answer questions about abigail. You didn’t go over there.

Sarah: Yeah, but I wanted to.

Xander: But you didn’T. You said it yourself. You loved her. You had no reason to hurt your cousin.

Sarah: But what if I did?

Xander: Don’t even think that.

Sarah: I don’t remember everything from that night, xander.

Xander: So what?

Sarah: So what? You know that I have been hallucinating, seeing kristen all over the place. It happened that night that I saw victor with the pen. I thought it was a syringe and he was coming after me.

Xander: We don’t have to talk about it now.

Sarah: I attacked nicole. I pulled a knife on chanel.

Xander: And they’re both fine.

Sarah: What if I did the same thing to abigail? What if I went over there that night, and I thought that I saw kristen and I murdered her?

Kate: Well, looks like I’ve screwed up my relationship with my granddaughter as well.

Marlena: I wouldn’t give up on her just yet.

Kate: I don’t know, I mean, she’s–she’s been through so much, and I just made things worse for her. But you–you didn’t mean to hurt her.

Kate: That doesn’t matter. She hates me. She hates lucas. She shouldn’t be alone right now.

Marlena: Yeah, I know you’re worried about her, but you can’t be the person to be there for her.

Kate: No, I can’T. So I’m just grateful that she’s surrounded by other people who love her.

Johnny: You do still love me, don’t you? I can see it. I can see it in your eyes.

Chanel: Yes. Yes, I do, I–I love you too.

Sheila: Oh, my god. Oh, my god. You got out of bed. I didn’t know you had the strength. How?

Finn: I have to get to steffy. I have to let my family know that I’m alive.

Sheila: This is all wonderful and good, but you’re doing too much too soon. You’ve got to take your time.

Finn: Move.

Ridge: Sheila carter was exactly where she belonged– in a prison cell behind bars. She couldn’t hurt my family, couldn’t hurt anybody. That’s justice. But now she’s running around free… because of you.

Deacon: Hey, sweetheart.

Hope: Hi.

Deacon: Are you okay?

Hope: Yeah. It’s just, um… it doesn’t get any easier, does it? I don’t think I can come into this restaurant without thinking about sheila shooting steffy and finn.

Deacon: It’s good to see you.

Hope: It’s good to see you. I’m sorry, dad. I didn’t mean to be such a downer to start.

Deaco oh, hey, hey. Listen. I get it. I mean, I have to work here, but there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t come through that door and feel like I’m being smacked in the face with the weight of that shooting. You know, in the alley finding finn and steffy. Finn dead. Steffy…so damn close.

Hope: Must have been horrific for you.

Deacon: Yeah. It still haunts me. Me and everybody who loved finn. I just– so much pain and loss. You know, a good man gone. For what? For no reason. And his family’s left behind to struggle without him. And it’s all because of sheila. And there’s not a damn thing that’ll change that.

Mike: I don’t know why I’m being accused here. I was as surprised by sheila’s escape as anyone.

Ridge: And you expect us to believe that?

Baker: According to mr. And mrs. Forrester here, you and sheila were partners in crime back in the day.

Mike: I–I–

Baker: Something you neglected to mention when she was remanded into this facility.

Mike: I knew her. Everybody did. It’s not like we were joined at the hip.

Brooke: [Scoffs] That’s not how I remember it.

Ridge: Where is she? What are you doing? We don’t have to listen to your lies right now.

Brooke: Where is she, mike?

Ridge: Where is she?

Sheila: You’ve got to listen to me. Your health is my number-one priority right now. You’re jeopardizing your recovery by rushing things.

Finn: I have to get to steffy.

Sheila: Oh. I know. I know, and you will as soon as you’re physically able.

Finn: Don’t stop me.

Sheila: I’ve got to get you back in bed. Finn! Finn. (Rose h) smoking caused my lung cancer.

Hope: Being the one to find finn and steffy shot had to be traumatizing. So… please tell me you’re thinking of talking to someone.

Deacon: I am. I’m talking to you.

Hope: Dad. I mean professional help. And taylor does not count. She’s too close to the situation. Although I’m sure she could refer you to someone.

Deacon: That’s very sweet of you. That means everything to me, but I do not need a shrink. Besides, sheila’s the one who needs the professional help.

Hope: And to be behind bars. But, unfortunately, she’s out running around somewhere.

Deacon: What the hell. I mean, how do you just sail out of jail like that? Because I gotta tell you, it ain’t that easy. Trust me.

Hope: Well, apparently, she might have had help.

Deacon: Huh. Well, that doesn’t really surprise me. Sheila can be very persuasive.

Hope: Hmm. But not to you, right? You immediately saw her for what and who she is?

Deacon: Immediately? I see now. You know, it’s a little hard not to. I think I see where this is going. You wanna make sure that I haven’t been in touch with sheila and that I’m not covering for her.

Deacon: I haven’t and I’m not. Hope, I wouldn’t lie to you. Please tell me you believe me.

Baker: Have a seat, officer guthrie.

Mike: No, I’m good.

Baker: Sit down. Officer guthrie, I’m sure you can understand why emotions are running high. Steffy forrester was shot, her husband killed by sheila carter, a prisoner no longer in our custody. I’m sure you can understand why mr. And mrs. Forrester are upset.

Mike: Sure. Anyone would be.

Baker: Exactly. They’ve got a legitimate cause for concern. Sheila’s targeted the family many times over the years.

Brooke: Something you’re well aware of.

Baker: It’s not a stretch to think that she would come after them again.

Ridge: Especially now. She’s got nothing to lose.

Baker: You know how these things work. Escaped prisoners only stay free for so long. It’s only a matter of time before sheila is found, captured, and returned to custody. And anyone who abetted her will be incarcerated also.

Mike: As it should be.

Baker: Of course if that person should cooperate and help us bring sheila in, that cooperation would be taken into consideration.

Mike: I get that.

Baker: Wonderful. So I ask you, officer guthrie, did you help sheila carter escape from this prison?

Sheila: Look at what you’ve done. I told you to be still.

Finn: I–I can’T… stay here.

Sheila: You have to, baby, just a little while longer. Let me help you. Let me help you.

Finn: Don’t touch me.

Sheila: I couldn’t leave you on the floor.

Finn: I need to be with steffy. Do you wanna help me? Just let me call her and just–

Sheila: Soon, finn. Look, I can’t let you reinjure yourself.

Finn: [Moaning]

Sheila: I can’t let you set back all this amazing progress that you have made, honey. Okay, I’m not gonna let you go backwards, not after how hard I’ve worked to save you.

Finn: Look, just stay away from me.

Sheila: Why do you say that when I’m trying to help you? Please, would you just let me?

Finn: All I want is to be with steffy.

Sheila: And you will be. You will be when you’re ready. Why won’t you trust me?

Finn: Are you serious?

Sheila: I love you, finn. You’re my son. And I want is to see you happy and with your family, but you can’t force your strength back. You–you have to let that strength come back naturally. And when it does, I swear to you I will get you back to steffy.

Finn: Now, sheila. Now.

If you have this…

Finn: If you don’t know, I’m happy to tell you. This–this bond that we have, my beautiful daughter, this is the most meaningful, most important relationship in my life. I would never do anything to jeopardize that. Nothing that would… take a chance on you losing your faith in me, your trust in me. So when I tell you that I haven’t spoken to sheila, I haven’t seen sheila, I’m telling you the truth, and I hope you believe you.

Hope: I do. Absolutely.

Deacon: I mean, I get it. It makes sense to be concerned about where sheila might be, you know, what direction she might come from when we least expect it. She’s dangerous. And ridge and taylor and brooke, they’d be nuts not to be worried about the fact that she just broke out of prison. But… I do have to give credit where credit is due. She is an unbelievable con artist.

Hope: Well, so much so that they think that the guard on duty that night was the one who helped sheila break out. And you know what his name was? Mike guthrie.

Deacon: Guthrie.

Baker: In my department, we’re brothers. We support each other, even if we miscalculate, make a mistake. None of us is perfect. We all fall. But we help each other back up. If you had something to do with sheila’s escape, I’m not gonna lie. There will be a price to pay. But if you cooperate, admit what you did and help us to bring her in, I will personally see that your case benefits.

Mike: That’s stand-up of you, chief, but I didn’t do anything wrong.

Ridge: No? That’s it? That– that’s the story you’re telling? You know who I am, right? You know who she is. And we know who you are. You had past dealings with sheila. We all know about that.

Mike: I’m not denying our paths crossed from time to time. But nobody asked.

Brooke: Oh, come on, mike. You and sheila were close.

Mike: You’re exaggerating. Like I said, I knew her. Look, I was different back then. I liked to walk on the wild side. I don’t do that anymore. I’m one of the good guys now. I protect and serve.

Brooke: [Laughs]

Mike: Check my record. It’s clean.

Ridge: Guthrie! No one wants to play this game with you. No one! That bitch shot my daughter. She killed her own son. And you know more than you’re saying. You know you do. What is it? Where is sheila? Where is she?

Sheila: All right, stop.

Finn: Let me see her.

Sheila: I shouldn’t be surprised you’re so stubborn. You are your mother’s son after all.

Finn: We’re nothing alike,

you freaking psycho.

Sheila: I am so proud of you. But you can’t do this anymore. You got to be kind to your body. It’s been through… terrible trauma, and it needs…

Finn: Because you shot me.

Sheila: …My strong, beautiful son. You’ll be back to steffy in no time. As long as you don’t jeopardize your recovery. And I’m here to make sure that you don’T. I’m gonna take care of you, finn. Your mama is always gonna take care of you.

Finn: [Weakly] I just– I’m just trying to make sense of everything.

Sheila: Yeah. Of course you are.

Finn: Like, uh… like the death certificate. Was– was that real?

Sheila: It is.

Finn: How? ‘Cause if I was dead, how did you… bring me back to life? Go with simparica trio it’s triple protection made simple!

Hope: Sheila and mike were pretty tight back in the day.

Deacon: Okay. That’s why it rings a bell. So either this guy is a bad apple who can be threatened or bought off, or maybe he’s just a dumb schmuck who’s hung up on sheila.

Hope: [Groans] Ugh! Yuck! Dad, come on. Sheila carter is a horrible person. Who would wanna be with that?

Deacon: Yes, but to a certain kind of guy, it’s like catnip.

Hope: Seriously?

Deacon: Do not underestimate sheila’s appeal. That what makes her so lethal. She’s a–an emotional chameleon. One minute she’s–she’s soft and she’s needy and she’s vulnerable. She’s all, “oh, you know, nobody understands me. I just wanna be loved.” And you wanna reach out, man. You wanna help her. You wanna take care of her. And then next thing you know, boom. She’s got a gun to your head or somebody else’S.

Hope: [Scoffs]

Deacon: All right, anyway, where are we with this guthrie guy?

Hope: [Scoffs] Brooke and ridge went with chief baker to question him, so hopefully we will find out where sheila’s hiding as we speak.

Ridge: Protecting sheila is a really bad idea, ’cause she would throw you under the bus so fast you wouldn’t know what hit you.

Mike: I told ya. I didn’t have anything to do with her getting away.

Ridge: How do you do that? How do you make everything you say sound like a lie?

Brooke: Is there somebody you love, mike?

Mike: Of course.

Brooke: What if there was a psychotic monster out there on the streets that shot your daughter, killed your wife? Would you want that person brought to justice? That’s all we want– justice for finn and for steffy.

Mike: For the last time, I don’t know where she is.

Ridge: Why do you talk to this guy? He’s a liar.

Mike: Believe what you will.

Baker: My best advice? Give sheila up. Because we will find her, guthrie. It’s only a matter of time.

Ridge: Yes, mikey. We’re gonna find her. When we do, you’re not gonna be working in this prison. You’re gonna be living here.

Finn: So, I’m considered officially, legally dead.

Sheila: Yes. The hospital gave up on you. But your mother never did.

[Monitor beeping] No, because she wouldn’T. And that’s why you are here very much alive.

Finn: So, you brought me back to this place all by yourself?

Sheila: You didn’t get here on your own.

Finn: How did you get me out of the morgue?

Sheila: You’re full of questions, aren’t you?

Finn: You had to know I would be eventually.

Sheila: Don’t worry about how I got you here. Just know that you’re recovering and you’re gonna walk right back into your old life.

Finn: Because of you.

Sheila: I’ve been taking care of you for some time, and it has been my honor and joy watching you recover under my care, ’cause I– I wouldn’t give up on you, finn. I wouldn’t do that because I love you too much.

Finn: What exactly did you do?

Sheila: What?

Finn: What steps did you take to…bring me back and to keep me alive?

Sheila: Oh, whatever– whatever is necessary.

Finn: No, I want the specifics. I’m a doctor. I wanna know. Like what– what treatments? What…procedures? What medications? Well, it can’t be that hard. You know what you did. You know what you gave me. I mean, I was– I was unconscious for a long time. How did you feed me? With an iv? Nasogastric tube? I mean, how did you know how much to give me, how many calories, how much protein, how much feed? Where did you know how to get it? You don’t even know, do you? Because you’re not a doctor. And you haven’t been a nurse for years.

Sheila: All right. Fine. I wasn’t the one that saved you, not at first.

Finn: Who? Who else got me here? Who else knows I’m alive? Look at me, sheila. Tell me. I deserve to know the truth. Tell me!

Sheila: Okay, fine. It was li, your adoptive mother.

Finn: Wait. Mom saved me?

Sheila: I am your mother.

Finn: Where’s my mom? Sheila. Where is she? Tell me. What did you do to her? Sheila, what did you do to my mom? Tell me where my mom is.

Victoria: I think we should have press conferences every day. I’ve forgotten how much fun they can be when they’re for a good reason.

Nikki: Oh, she’s addicted to the buzz.

Nick: Because they’re all about her.

Victoria: That is not true. There is a lot of excitement surrounding your return to the company.

Nikki: Yes, everybody loves a comeback.

Victoria: However, I did notice that someone was conspicuously silent on the matter. Adam.

Nick: He said he was gonna walk away.

Victoria: Well, I guess he meant at this time.

Nikki: Well, then what you said earlier is true. We will make sure that newman media is our first order of business.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Adam: In answer to your first question, I am here.

Sally: Oh, my god, thank goodness. I thought something happened to you or that you were ghosting me.

Adam: Yeah, I’m al in one piece, unharmed. See?

Sally: So you were avoiding me.

Noah: Coffee’s on me, so order whatever you like.

Allie: Wow, that’s rather magnanimous of you for a guy who’s never paid for a cup of coffee here in his life because his mom owns the place.

Noah: Do you want one or not?

Allie: Iced with the works.

Noah: Okay. Whipped cream?

Allie: Sure. Why not? I feel like I’ve been good today.

Noah: Oh, you have been exactly what I needed for much longer than that. You stuck around to listen while I figured out the whole new hope thing.

Allie: And what to do with your life.

Noah: And most people would’ve told me to shut up and get on with it already.

Allie: Noah, hey, listen, it’s a big decision. You’re about to go seriously disappoint your father, and these things have to be handled very carefully.

Noah: Okay, you did not just say that.

Allie: I know it sounds harsh, but I promise you that I am helping.

Noah: How exactly are you helping?

Allie: By giving you reminders of what the worst will happen, it’ll build up your immunity to it.

Noah: Hmm. Okay. Well, maybe you can help me come up with some ways to not feel like a total jerk for leaving my dad’s charity.

Allie: I’m just being realistic. Look, your father is kind and understanding and laid back, but this isn’t gonna be an easy conversation.

Noah: Yeah. Hey, you know what I should do? I should just bring you along with me. That way, you can blurt out the bad news before I get a chance to say anything.

Allie: You mean like I just did with your sister and her wife?

Noah: Mm-hmm. It’s good to know you can keep a secret.

Allie: That’s not true. Most of the time, I am a vault. I don’t know what happened earlier.

Noah: Maybe I just make you nervous. Is it my devilish good looks, or perhaps it’s my unique brand of humor?

Allie: What you might have seen there was me being afraid that you were gonna make a joke and I would have to scrape up a pity laugh. I’m so sorry, though, for telling mariah and tessa.

Noah: It’s okay. I wanted their opinion almost as much as I wanted yours.

Allie: Don’t give me credit for that. You made this decision on your own.

Noah: You know, you really got to quit it with this excessive of modesty thing. Sometimes you just got to take the compliment. You know, live in the moment.

Phyllis: Hey, allie, noah. Look at you two. You’re so adorable together.

Ashley: And I’m telling you, your granddaughter was the absolute star at jabot today. She asked all the right questions. She knew all the right answers at the orientation.

Jack: You already have the reviews from chemists in the lab.

Ashley: They love her.

Jack: I knew they would.

Ashley: She’s familiar with the equipment already, jack. She’s making herself at home. She’s gonna run the joint pretty soon.

Jack: She is keemo’s daughter.

Ashley: She’s so smart. She’s so intuitive. Just like her father.

Jack: You know what, I missed such important time with him, but having her here, helping nurture her skills in the family business is a dream come true.

Ashley: Proud grandpa speaking here.

Jack: Yeah. Hey, make no mistake. No special favors. She sinks or swims 100% on her own.

Ashley: She’s made it clear she wants nothing special just because she’s an abbott.

Jack: I think this is gonna work out. I hope it does.

Ashley: You hope it does, huh? Of course it will. She’s happy. And how’s jack? Is jack happy?

Jack: No complaints.

Ashley: Well, I was thinking about asking about your love life.

Jack: No, don’t do that.

Ashley: Haven’t seen phyllis around lately.

Jack: Yeah, we’re both very busy people.

Ashley: Not that long ago, you were joined at the hip.

Jack: Well, that’s kind of an exaggeration, isn’t it?

Ashley: She did it, didn’t she?

Jack: What? What are you saying?

Ashley: Phyllis pulled a phyllis.

Jack: I don’t even know what that means.

Ashley: Jack, you know exactly what it means. What did she do? Listen, I’m done settling. Because this is my secret.

Adam: I never went to chicago.

Sally: Okay. Well… what did you do instead?

Adam: I went over this latest mind game that my father played, how I responded. I looked at every move and countermove that we’ve made since this whole thing started.

Sally: Okay, why didn’t you just tell me that or, better yet, use me as your sounding board?

Adam: Well, I just needed some time to be alone. I needed to understand why I allowed myself to be manipulated into thinking that he believed in me. I mean, he dangled the ceo position in front of me, and I — I fell for it. Twice.

Sally: Well, yeah, I mean, what your father did was inexcusable, but you shouldn’t beat yourself up for trusting him.

Adam: Well, trusting him was a huge mistake. And it’s just… it’s made me question everything that I’ve done since I came back to this town. Everything that I’ve done to infuriate him, undermine his trust, question my ability, my fitness for the job, which is why you were the last person that I need as a sounding board right now.

Sally: Why would you say that?

Adam: Because I realized you are the reason I am on the outside. You are standing between me and everything that I want.

Phyllis: Hey, your internship at jabot is starting soon, right?

Allie: Wow. You remembered.

Phyllis: Of course. Of course. It’s a really big deal. You know, those chemists, they — they churn out dozens of new product year after year. And when a bright new chemist enters, I mean, it’s a game changer.

Allie: You know, in chemistry, you call that a catalyst.

Phyllis: Ah.

Allie: I actually just had my orientation.

Phyllis: That’s great. Congratulations.

Allie: Thank you.

Phyllis: Did jack happen to tell you that I was once ceo at jabot?

Allie: I’m not really sure.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Allie: Yeah.

Phyllis: Well, I mean, if you ever want to talk, I can give you some insight as to how everything’s run there. In fact, why don’t I get some drinks and some pastries and we could talk now?

Noah: Oh, no, she can’T.

Phyllis: Why not?

Noah: Uh, we — we have that thing that we’re going to, and we don’t want to be late to that because…

Allie: He’s great. I’m so sorry, but I’m sure you understand.

Noah: Busy woman like phyllis, better believe she does. Matter of fact, we have taken up way too much time as it is, so we should probably go on.

Allie: I’m sure we’ll catch up soon. I’ll talk to you later, phyllis. Okay. Bye.

Diane: Wow. You can really clear a room.

Jack: There are certain aspects of my life I am not comfortable sharing with my sister.

Ashley: Oh, shush, you can share everything with me. You know that by now. So what happened?

Jack: Phyllis lured me into a romantic assignation in her hotel, and then contrived to have diane see what I foolishly thought was an intimate moment between the two of us.

Ashley: Hmm. How childish of her.

Jack: Yeah, what I thought was a giant step in my relationship with phyllis, she thought of as an opportunity to send diane a message. And don’t let this fuel your ongoing animosity toward phyllis.

Ashley: Why couldn’t it be both?

Jack: Meaning what?

Ashley: Why couldn’t this be a big step in your relationship, but also, why can’t phyllis be making a point with diane?

Jack: Why, ashley, it almost sounds like you are defending phyllis’ actions.

Ashley: No, listen. Okay, phyllis is still not my favorite person, but this is diane jenkins we’re talking about, and we both know what she’s capable of. So if you look at the situation from that perspective, it makes sense that phyllis would want to set some boundaries proactively. And this is phyllis we’re talking about, so if you were expecting subtlety, well, shame on you.

Jack: You’re saying I should forgive phyllis. How did olay top expensive creams?

Phyllis: Well, I didn’t clear a room. You’re still here.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] We both know that noah and allie didn’t have a thing to go to. They’re trying to get away from you.

Phyllis: You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Diane: You know, maybe she’s onto you. Maybe she’s picked up on the fact that you were trying to make her your bestie so she’ll go back to jack and tell him how nice you are. And then he’ll change his mind, and then he’ll have you back in his life.

Phyllis: Okay, that’s not what I’m doing.

Diane: Yes, you are. I know it, allie knows it, and jack will know it, too. You’re using his granddaughter. It’s not a good look.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Before I make a final decision about the fate of sally spectra, I’d like to hear from the other valued members of my executive team.

Nikki: I agree with your previous assessment. Newman media needs a qualified leader, someone who is used to making deals and being in the front of the pack. It is impossible to ignore that sally has zero experience leading a media entity. There’s also the adam thing. We all know he’ll be pulling her strings, even though he said he’s walking away from the company and her.

Nikki: What? They’re breaking up? Well, that’s interesting timing.

Victoria: I’d love to hear your take.

Nikki: I wouldn’t be surprised if adam is just pretending to break up with her so that we will keep her on as ceo of the media division.

Victoria: Nick said the same thing. Well, you know my thinking on the matter, and since we’re all in agreement and we’ve had total transparency, I think we need to handle this as soon as possible.

Nikki: I have a meeting with the real-estate division, so I will leave the two of you to let sally know that her services are no longer required.

Sally: It’s natural for you to be curious and looking for someone to blame. Your sister put the entire company at risk, and then your father reinstated her so fast it broke speed records. And your brother, who turned his back on the entire business, handed a job in the c-suite. They’re the ones that deserve your anger. But blaming me makes absolutely no sense because I’ve been the one that stood by you and believed in you, and that’s never changed.

Adam: Sally, you were the one who sabotaged victor’s granddaughter. Okay, you’re universally despised by his inner circle, and you nearly sabotaged the newman media launch. Okay? I made you a fixture in my life, and you’ve just become a huge liability.

Sally: Victor may hate the things that I’ve done, but the fact that I’m still here proves that he’s come to look at me differently. He’s accepted me and maybe even respects me a little.

Adam: But it’s made him stop respecting me. This isn’t about your talent, it’s not about your intellect. It’s because I chose to keep you in my life. And it’s cost me everything that I have ever wanted, okay? You’re the reason that I’m even in this position.

Sally: Why are you being so cruel?

Adam: I’m not being cruel. I’m being honest.

Sally: Do you hear yourself right now? How crazy you sound?

Adam: The really crazy thing is making the choice to be with you at all.

Adam: I should have listened to my father. I should have taken him seriously when he said you were bad news. He had a lot more concerns than I let on.

Sally: Why would you hide that from me?

Adam: I wanted to spare your feelings. And in time, he stopped letting his displeasures be known, but he found another way to get his message through loud and clear.

Sally: How?

Adam: By refusing to consider me as someone who could be the rightful heir of newman enterprises. Okay, he dangled the prize right in front of me, first by making me ceo and then installing me in the job to lure victoria back. I mean, I deluded myself into thinking that I could use those opportunities to prove that I am worthy to him. But you see, his mind, it was already made up. “Stay with this woman, and I will never respect you.”

Sally: I am not buying any of this. You don’t give a damn what your father thinks about me.

Adam: Okay. Well, I care about the consequences.

Sally: Stop acting like this.

Adam: This is who I am. Don’t you know that? Okay, billy laid out my history in graphic detail, sally. You came into this thing with your eyes wide open.

Sally: You told me you loved me. And you showed me in ways that are impossible to fake.

Adam: I’m not saying that I didn’t love you. I’M…just saying I didn’t love you enough.

Sally: You told me that I was what you always needed. And you meant it. I know you did. So how can you just stand there and pretend like you don’t care?

[ Chuckles ] Wait a second, un– unless that is why you’re doing it. Because you told me that you were gonna find a solution that works for everyone. You — you were gonna do whatever it took to keep me in that chair.

Adam: No, I said a lot of things that I didn’t mean.

Sally: If this is some insane attempt to protect me against victor and victoria, if you are distancing yourself from me so I can keep my job, I don’t want it. I don’t want it. Not like this. You mean more to me. So you can just drop this cruel and, frankly, pointless act and tell me that you are just doing all of this to protect me… and I will forgive you.

Ashley: I am the last person that would defend what phyllis did to you. And I’m sure it was very hurtful when you realized that she had cheapened the time that you had together. How’s that for dancing around the issue?

Jack: Oh, you’re a regular ginger rogers.

Ashley: Oh, good, because the point is, when you got back from L.A., I saw a light in your eye that I hadn’t seen for a long time.

Jack: Yes, I learned I had a brilliant and beautiful granddaughter.

Ashley: Big part of it, but there was something else. Are you gonna make me say it? Do I really have to say it?

Jack: What?

Ashley: [ Sighs ] I got the feeling that you were falling back in love with phyllis. And it made you happy, so it made me happy.

Jack: You’re not wrong. That’s what made her betrayal all the more painful.

Ashley: I get it. I get it. And under any other circumstances, I would agree with you 1,000%. I really would. But I think that she deserves a second chance this time.

Jack: Why are you cutting her so much slack?

Ashley: Because when it comes to fighting diane jenkins, all bets are off, and you used to know that. So my question for you is, if things were so great with you and phyllis, why did she feel that she had the need to let diane know where things stood with you?

Jack: I can’t begin to fathom what makes phyllis do what phyllis —

Ashley: That’s not true. You know how she works. Right? She acts out when she feels wronged. So what set her off?

Jack: Can we just drop this, please?

Ashley: No, we can’T. You are clearly forging a path of forgiveness for diane, for all the horrendous and horrible things that she’s done. And yet you won’t forgive phyllis for doing something out of love. I agree it was twisted, but she did it to protect her relationship with you. I think that you have a lot more complicated feelings for diane than you’re willing to admit.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: I just said hi to allie. Of course, you, of all people, would think I had ulterior motives.

Diane: If I had dug myself into a hole as deep as you had, I’d be doing anything I could to get out of it.

Phyllis: Ugh, diane, you’re not gonna provoke me. I’m not playing your game.

Diane: Oh, funny how you’re accusing me of playing games when you were the one who toyed with jack in order to make a point to me.

Phyllis: Those are fighting words.

Diane: Oh. Are you accusing me of breaking our peace treaty?

Phyllis: No, I’m not because you would never do that out in public, in front of everyone.

Diane: It’s not the case at all. I’m quite happy with our detente. I wouldn’t do anything to wreck it.

Phyllis: You know, it takes a really paranoid mind to believe that a simple conversation between two women has some nefarious plot connected to it.

Diane: Phyllis, you were trying to wheedle your way back into jack’s life and getting into his good graces by using his grandchild. I actually feel sorry for you.

Phyllis: Alright.

Diane: No, no, I’m serious. It is such a shame that you have managed to screw up a romance that is so important to you. Meanwhile, I am rebuilding my relationship with kyle and enjoying time with my grandson.

Phyllis: Oh, spare me.

Diane: You know, I accept that some people don’t believe I’ve changed.

Phyllis: Because you haven’T.

Diane: So I’m going to focus on those whose opinions matter to me. The people who are giving me a chance to prove myself, both professionally and personally. I am so looking forward to working with my son and your daughter and jack, of course, now that we’re all part of the big jabot family.

Phyllis: What’s your point?

Diane: I guess it’s that my life is in such a good place right now that the last thing I want is for things to be adversarial between the two of us.

Phyllis: Okay, you know what? I’m not buying this miraculous transformation that you’re peddling all over town.

Diane: Phyllis, you need to accept that I’m a permanent fixture here.

Phyllis: Do I?

Diane: Yeah.

Phyllis: Oh. Well, things don’t last forever, diane.

Diane: Is that a threat?

Phyllis: An observation.

Nikki: Did she say permanent fixture?

Phyllis: Yes, she did.

Nikki: Oh, god, she’s delusional.

Diane: I feel so special. Bringing together two women who despise each other.

Nikki: I’m glad that diane is becoming more confident.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. She’ll let her guard down.

Nikki: Mm.

[Sfx: Stomach gurgling]

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Adam: Forgiveness? Right, that would mean that there’s a future out there for us and I want to smooth things over so we can start again.

Sally: Why can’t we?

Adam: Because that’s not who I am, sally.

Sally: You said —

Adam: I said a lot of things, and now I’m telling you that I don’t want you in my life anymore. Okay? This is my priority. It’s reclaiming my place. Regaining my father’s respect. Hell, regaining respect for myself.

Sally: You’re not making any sense.

Adam: I hate what being with you has cost me, but even more, I hate what it’s turned me into. I’m somebody who’s griping that his daddy mistreats him, who isn’t appreciated enough or given enough. I mean, how did I expect someone, much less my father, to take me seriously? Okay, I need to get away from you, and I need to get back to regaining credibility in his eyes. And I need to get back to being the kind of man that takes what he wants, like I always have.

Sally: So suddenly, you care more about kissing up to victor than you do about me and about us?

Adam: Look, whatever momentary glee I got from rubbing you in everyone’s face, whatever pleasure that I derived from being with you, it wasn’t worth it. We’re done. Was that clear enough for you?

Sally: Everyone really was right about you… from the beginning. You are a self-serving bastard.

Adam: Well, at least you got a ceo job out of the deal. If you can hang on to it.

Sally: Go to hell.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Um, it’s done. Okay, I’m out of here. I’m out of sally’s life. I’m out of your life. But one more thing — don’t be fooled by her tough exterior. She’s having a pretty tough time accepting things are over between us. The worst mistake she could have made is getting involved with me, so I would hate to see her lose her job on top of everything. She’s a hard worker. She has a lot of fresh ideas. She’s loyal and dedicated. She deserves to be here. Give her a chance and you’ll see that.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

[ Knock on door ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Come in.

Nick: Hi, sally.

Sally: Hi.

Victoria: I hope you have a few minutes.

Sally: Yes, whatever you need. Make yourselves comfortable. Can I get you guys a drink?

Nick: Uh, no, we’re okay. Thank you.

Sally: Okay. Glad to hear it. Why waste time on niceties when I have to go wallow in the pity of my freshly broken heart?

[ Sighs ] Okay, look, I’ve done this so many times. I know it word for word. This is the part where you tell me it’s just not working, right? Because forget about what actually is working or what I can actually accomplish here, or what I am currently accomplishing. Because all you care about is playing the game, right?

Allie: So I thought of something that you are actually good at.

Noah: I’m dying to hear it.

Allie: You got me out of that conversation with phyllis. That is a very, very special skill.

Noah: Yeah. What was that all about?

Allie: She’s trying to use me, I think, as a way to get more information about the abbotts, about jack specifically. I don’t know. I think there’s some kind of drama going on between them.

Noah: With phyllis, it’s almost guaranteed.

Jack: Whatever is going on between phyllis and me has nothing to do with diane.

Ashley: You cannot possibly be that dumb. You don’t really believe that, do you? Because I don’t even spend that much time with you, and I can see that you’ve got complicated feelings for diane.

Jack: Ash —

Ashley: You do. Maybe compassion because of kyle and harrison.

Jack: I am just trying to be fair.

Ashley: But if I notice it, can you imagine how it must make phyllis feel to see you bending over backwards, being kind to somebody that she despises, that has done really horrible things to her?

Jack: I don’t know.

Ashley: It’s making her crazy because, frankly, it’s making me crazy. And I cannot imagine the impulses that phyllis is having to stifle every single day of her life.

Jack: Everything I am doing, I am doing for kyle. He is invested in trying to reestablish a relationship with his mother. And diane deserves to know her son, given how she has handled everything that’s been thrown at her since she came back to town.

Ashley: Diane is not your friend. Don’t buy her act, jack. Nothing good can come of it.

Jack: Diane is not the issue. My issue with phyllis is her penchant for self-sabotage, her inability to embrace what is good. I have given her many chances in the past. I cannot go through this again. We are better off as friends. Let’s drop this, please, now. Oh, you’ve got to have the last word. Go ahead.

Ashley: Things are never as simple as they seem with diane.

Jack: I’m going to go check on adam, see what’s going on there.

Ashley: Are you kidding me? Do you have to befriend every single pariah in town? You are way too forgiving. Except when it comes to phyllis.

Jack: Buy you a cup of coffee?

Adam: [ Sighs ] I’m not in the mood for company.

Jack: Which is exactly why I’m joining you. I know that look. I perfected that look, and I know what it means.

From prom dresses

Jack: I saw the press conference. Victoria reinstated as ceo.

Adam: Yeah. Whole family’s up there. Dad’s dream come true.

Jack: Your absence was conspicuous.

Adam: Well, hey, that’s my middle name, jack.

Jack: The press was told you were moving on to pursue other ventures. I hope that’s the case.

Adam: Let’s just say I — I get it now. I mean, all those years that you were at war with my father, I mean, he is relentless. You think he’s doing one thing, and in reality, he’s doing something completely different. And by the time you catch up, he’s just changed the rules.

Jack: Congratulations. You caught on.

Adam: Yeah. Well, you’d think he’d learn there’s only so much you can push a man past his limits before he pushes back.

Jack: Adam, this isn’t the first time your father has done something like this to you.

Adam: No. But this time is different. This time there is no going back.

Sally: You guys have been so busy swapping out nameplates in the executive suite that I’m sure you’re unaware of what I’ve actually accomplished here. But I believe that I’ve earned the right to be judged based on my own achievements, regardless of my personal relationship with adam.

Victoria: I see.

Sally: What you haven’t seen is that I have been working night and day studying, researching, and learning the history of this company and reimagining its future. I have established a clear mission statement and I am building connections that matter, and it is having an impact. Not that any of you newmans are paying attention. We are bringing in fresh, new perspectives. We are becoming more inclusive. Yes, sure, content is still king because we still have to feed the masses, but we are also prioritizing connectivity. The world is changing, and we need to be the ones that people turn to for services to help them engage and stay informed and connect with the world. Not that I have been able to apply that amount of energy to my personal life.

[ Sighs ] But I just want you guys to know that this has been one of the greatest opportunities of my life, and I’m really gonna miss the view from this office. Among other things. So honestly, if you could just get this over with, I will pack up my things and get out of your hair and we can all just go back to our day.

Nick: Can I talk to you outside for a minute?

[ Hits desk ]

Diane: Some women feel threatened when they hear people talking about them, but I kind of enjoy being the center of attention.

Nikki: Yes, we’re acutely aware of that.

Ashley: So is this a private party or can anybody join?

Diane: Hello, ashley.

Phyllis: We’re just talking about how diane is strolling around town without a care in the world.

Nikki: Savoring all those wonderful memories.

Phyllis: Gainfully employed, pretending to be a doting grandmother.

Diane: Dee dee. That’s harrison’s pet name for me.

Ashley: Until he grows up and finds out who you really are and then becomes the object of your machinations, just like kyle.

Nikki: Yes, then he’ll have all kinds of choice words for you.

Phyllis: It’s only a matter of time, diane.

Diane: Wow, you ladies are a hoot. What a fun way to pass the afternoon, but, oh, look at the time. I have a job to return to and a life. So I will give your love to summer and kyle and jack.

Nikki: Something has to be done about that woman.

Phyllis: I mean, at least the three of us can agree on that, right?

Ashley: Oh, yes, we can. Better skin from your body wash?

Noah: Best description of phyllis…

[ Sighs ] Hmm. Force of nature? Like an earthquake or forest fire. But she doesn’t understand boundaries, so if she crosses one, you got to say something.

Allie: Okay. Got it.

Noah: On the other hand, I think she has a good heart and she means well and she would move mountains for the ones she loves, like summer.

Allie: She seems so different from summer.

Noah: That’s ’cause summer takes after my dad. He is the steady presence in the middle of the hurricane. He balances everything out.

Allie: Then maybe it’s time for you to have that honest conversation with him. Hey, tell him how you feel about stepping away from new hope. Hey. It’s not gonna be easy. And I know you’re gonna feel like you’re letting him down. But remember, nick is a good dad and good dads want more than anything for their kids to be happy. Trust me, I know from experience.

Noah: Thank you, allie, for saying that, for a great day at the pool. For everything.

Phyllis: Will someone please explain to me why this woman gets a do-over? I don’t get it.

Ashley: I am not giving her a free pass.

Phyllis: But everybody in town seems to be doing that. I mean, not just kyle, but michael, too.

Ashley: And jack.

Nikki: Yeah, even jack.

Phyllis: Jack. Yes, he is. You know, jack just said that he would go along with whatever kyle decided.

Ashley: Diane is capitalizing on that. She’s playing it perfectly.

Phyllis: Yeah, and she’s using kyle again to get to jack, just like she did when he was little.

Nikki: Because this is what she does.

Ashley: She framed you for arson.

Phyllis: Well, she slept with your fiancé, right? And she blackmailed you.

Nikki: She left me to be blamed for her murder. I win. Now, something has to be done about her.

Ashley: You know what? It would be a public service.

Phyllis: Could we do something? I mean, the three of us?

Nikki: Why not?

Phyllis: Well, I mean, we can’t stand to be in the same room with each other.

Nikki: Ah, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Ashley: Right. I mean, at least temporarily.

Nikki: If we all pooled our talents…

Ashley: Maybe we can get diane out of our lives.

Phyllis: Yeah. Forever this time.

Nick: You got to admit, what sally said in there was extremely impressive.

Victoria: She was scrambling to keep her job.

Nick: When people’s backs are against the wall, you’ll find out what means most of them, what they’re made of, and how far they’re willing to go to keep what’s important. That job means everything to her.

Victoria: But does she have what it takes?

Nick: I think she does. She has a clear plan, one she’s ready to start implementing. No matter how you feel about her, she’s got good ideas, and her vision for newman media is exactly what we’re looking for. You do realize that, right?

Sally: [ Exhales sharply ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

Jack: This is what I’m worried about, adam. You’re hurt and you want to lash out. Do not give over to your worst impulses. That is exactly what victor is expecting of you.

Adam: Oh, I’m well aware of that. It would be pointless for me to go after my father. I am the last person that he needs to worry about.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I just assumed this was about work. This is medical? I didn’t even know you were on an O.B. Rotation. This isn’t an O.B. Visit. Okay. Then what? After you fainted, I ran a series of tests. I remember. That’s how we figured out I was pregnant. Yes. Yes. Um… but we have to go over the rest of the results. You have an elevated white blood cell count. That’s it?

[ Sighs ] Oh. I know from nurses’ training that it’s normal to have an elevated white blood cell count during pregnancy. And that’s true. Willow, from what I see, I don’t — I don’t think this is related to your pregnancy. Wait, you think I’m sick while I’m pregnant? Come on, michael, what’s the matter with you? Rocco hits harder than that. What, are you having a baby? You’re taking it easy on me? Oh, man, no, you couldn’t be more wrong. Alright. I mean, willow’s good news is making me feel like I could take on the world. Yeah? Even losing out on the elq merger with aurora feels way more manageable now. Face it, your brother is one happy guy. Come on, then! Let’s see you, happy guy. Let’s see what you got. Come on.

[ Sighs ] Damn, I’ll have what he’s having.

[ Laughs ] Hey.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Oh, I know, I know, I’m early, but I figured if we hurry, we have time to get a drink at charlie’s before we head on over to the haunted star. Uh, right. Uh, I’m sorry. I should have called you, but the day got away from me, I still have one more appointment.

[ Sighs ] That’s okay. I guess we can start drinking when we get to the haunted star. Now, go tell your patient to take two aspirin and call you in the morning. Yeah [Sighs] That’s the thing. I can’t join you tonight. Something’s come up. You forget we had plans? Not exactly. Did you double-book yourself? Sort of. And it’s not work-related? Oh, my god. [ Laughs ] Britt, do you have a date?

[ Sighs ] Even if I could guarantee that trina goes free, why in the world would I? Trina, joss, and cam have been badmouthing me all across town. Why would I do them any favors? Because if you ever want to know who your birth mother is, you will make sure that the judge knows the truth. You are the only person who can do that. I know that trina was in her own bedroom the entire time before cam and I went to our bedroom. Can you prove that? Were there security cameras all over the cabin? I mean, the cabin belongs to your former stepfather, sonny corinthos. I can see that as a real possibility. There are no security cameras inside of the cabin. Which means what, exactly? Which means I do not have proof that trina did not leave her bedroom.

Let’s be clear, ms. Jacks — you cannot account for the defendant’s movements from the moment that she went into her room to the moment that you and mr. Webber went into yours. Because of that, won’t you concede that there was plenty of time for your so-called friend, trina robinson, who has already been established to have been filled with jealousy and resentment, to make sure that the phone was set up to record your most intimate moments without your knowing? Objection, your honor. This is pure conjecture on the ada’s part. Judge young: Sustained. Watch your step, counselor. No more questions, your honor. Tj: I was there. The first time you fainted at G.H., That was months before you became pregnant, and that’s what prompted me to run this battery of tests, just to be on the safe side. So you think there’s a chance that something’s wrong with me? All I’m saying is that we need more information. I know you just finished nursing school, so you’ve been under a lot of pressure. We might be able to chalk this up to anxiety or stress, but there’s also the chance that there’s another medical explanation. We have to explore all possibilities. Obviously, you think there’s a good chance that something’s wrong with me, so, dr. Ashford, what aren’t you telling me? Uh, let me introduce you to cody. Hey. This is michael. Yeah, hey. Michael’s the one who gave me the tour of the quartermaine stables. Oh. Made me feel right at home. You know, it’s funny you call yourself a mere stable hand, because to leo, man, you’re already a legend.

[ Laughs ] Yeah, leo’s a great kid. He’s positively fearless, with that horse of his. Yeah. Unlike, um, some people that I know.

[ Laughs ] Oh, you talking about me?

[ Laughing ] Yeah. You talking about me? I was a city kid, man. I did great. Yeah, that was obvious. I did great. I don’t feel bad. Alright, well, that’s enough for me. You guys can stay and beat each other’s brains in if you want. I gotta meet willow at G.H. And in case you can’t tell by the big grin on my face, willow and I are having a baby. Really? Oh, man! Dude, that’s great news, michael. Congrats. Oh, thank you. Give my best to willow. Yeah, will do, will do. I just — I gotta get in the showers. If I’m late, I’m gonna catch a hard time. Really? Willow seemed like such a sweetheart to me. Oh, yeah, no, I wasn’t talking about getting in trouble with willow, I was talking about her O.B. — Britt westbourne. Huh? No kidding. Small world. Wait, you — you know her? Brad: Normally, I’d be upset about being blown off, but since you are practically on the verge of spinsterhood, I’m going to give you a pass this time. Well, I’d love to argue your characterization of my love life… except you’re spot on. Alright. Some friendly advice — all you need to be is the charming and vivacious woman I know you can be. Thank you for the pep talk. I feel so much better about my date tonight.

[ Chuckles ] If you’re not excited about this date, then why are you doing it? I mean, are you just jumping back into the dating pool because you’re looking for love or are you just tired of holding on to all your secrets? What does that mean? Whatever has been weighing on you — that thing you can’t tell me about — well, maybe it’s past time you did. I would like to remind the court of the difference between a sex tape and the crime of revenge porn. A sex tape is made with consent. Revenge porn is made without consent. Ms. Jacks, did either you or mr. Webber ever consent to being recorded? No. Neither one of us knew anything about the video. Not until it popped up on screens at pcu. And yet, despite the prosecution’s best efforts to put words in your mouth, you claim that you know that your best friend, trina robinson, could never have done this. I know she couldn’T. Ada arden: Objection, your honor. To use ms. Miller’s very own words, it’s pure conjecture on the witness’s part. No, it’s not conjecture, because I know exactly the type of person that trina robinson is. I have known her since middle school.

[ Voice breaking ] She is my best friend in the entire world. She is there for me on my good days. More importantly, she’s there for me on my bad days. She knows what’s right from wrong. And I know exactly the type of friend that trina robinson is.

[ Crying ] She is the type of friend to stick by you when everybody else turns and runs. So knowing your best friend, can you ever imagine that trina robinson would go to such extreme lengths to humiliate you and cameron? Never.

[ Scoffs ] I don’t even know how she would get a black market phone, let alone use it against us. How do you know it was a black market phone? I don’T. All I know is a second phone with the revenge porn on it was found in trina’s purse, identical to trina’s real phone — same model, same case. But it’s your belief — it’s your conviction that’s someone, anyone, could have purchased that other phone? No, not anyone. One person did this, and I know exactly who that person is. Once trina recorded joss and cam having sex for the first time, which is just mind-bogglingly horrific, she made it go global. Those are facts, spence. All the evidence says so. I agree with you… that the evidence is stacked against trina, but there’s just one catch, esme. And what is that? We both know that trina didn’t record that revenge porn or distribute it. Because you did.

Robinson did not makethat revenge porn, who did? It’s esme prince. When esme’s boyfriend, spencer cassadine, wanted to break up his father’s marriage to ava, he began to stalk ava, and he asked for esme’s help. Esme lit ava’s car on fire and left the hospital id badge of her dead daughter, kiki, beside the car. Now, that seems like the kind of demented mind that would make revenge porn, don’t you think? Objection, your honor. I’m aware that spencer cassadine was convicted of stalking his stepmother, but his girlfriend, esme prince, was never charged with anything. Can the witness provide any shred of proof to back up this libelous claim? The objection is sustained. No more speculation, ms. Miller. We just want facts. Absolutely. Your honor, I just have a few more questions. Ms. Jacks, what was your gpa your freshman year at college? A 4.0. 4.0. Congratulations. And who was your dorm roommate that year? Trina robinson. Trina robinson. And will she be your dorm roommate your sophomore year? Absolutely. Thank you very much. I have no further questions. You may step down.

[ Mouthing words ] Hey, I’m not keeping you in the dark about anything, okay? There are questions that need to be answered, that’s why I put you on the books for another series of tests tomorrow. Just to be clear, um, this doesn’t concern the baby? This is about my health, correct? Correct. Your issue, if there is one, seems to predate the pregnancy. It’s likely the two situations aren’t related. Now, you have an appointment with dr. Westbourne later, right? Keep that. Whatever it is, we will deal with it. You might say that dr. Westbourne and i ran into each other the other day. What cody means is he parachuted onto the metro court pool and landed on britt, and they both went into the water. No way, that — that was you? That was all over social media. Yeah, all right. To be fair, she was standing in my landing zone. Skydiver, stable hand — anything you can’t do? Oh, plenty. Um… pay a mortgage, ride sidesaddle blindfolded, make babies. Never been able to achieve any of those things. So you don’t let me keep you from that appointment. Alright. Hey, um, good luck. Say hi to willow, and I’m sure mom and baby are going to be fine. Thank you. Your brother seems like a nice guy. Yeah. He’s the best. Oh, the best? Yeah. Then what am I, chopped liver? No, you’re the guy who’s dogging britt westbourne after I told him not to.

[ Laughing ] Come on, brad. All I want is to give this matchmaking thing a chance, if for no other reason than to get my mother off my back. Alright. Fair enough. So is your date someone I know? Someone I don’t know? Is he hot? He’s, um, rough around the edges. On the right person, that could be hot. Is he hot? He doesn’t seem to be trustworthy. Okay. Not to be redundant, but that could be hot on the right person, too. Okay, fine. [ Laughs ] Brad. Yes. He’s hot in a rough, rustic, scruffy way. He bruises well, by which I mean he’s one of those guys who actually looks good beaten up. Weird. And then there’s the fact that we have nothing in common and we don’t even like each other.

[ Laughs ] How do you know that if you haven’t even met… o-m-G. It’s him, isn’t it? It’s parachute guy. Commissioner ashford, can you tell us how this illicit video came to the attention of the pcpd? We received a report from pcu, where the video was first distributed. Then in the course of our investigation, our office got an anonymous tip on our hotline to the alleged perpetrator’s identity. By perpetrator, you’re referring to the defendant, trina robinson, correct? Yes. And what happened when you brought her in for questioning? Trina agreed without hesitation and never asked for legal representation. She said she would do anything to help find the person who had humiliated her closest friends, josslyn jacks and cameron webber. But what did you find in her possession? She had two cellphones in her purse, one that was hers and one that was nearly identical, that she couldn’t account for. This is the unaccounted-for cellphone and this is the forensics report about this phone. Can you please tell us what it says? The digital footprint confirms that this cellphone was used to upload and send the video, also known as the revenge porn, to the pcu community. Anything else? After that final usage, this phone was never turned on again. Is there anything else that ties that phone directly to the defendant? Ms. Robinson’s credit card information was encrypted and used to purchase images by the artist richard molineaux. Oh. In other words, according to your own forensics department, the only person tied to that revenge porn video is the defendant, trina robinson. The evidence seems to suggest that, yes. Spencer: At first, I didn’t want to believe it. There was a time when I had deeper feelings for you than I ever knew were possible. And when I brought you home to port charles — oh, you mean when you asked me to help you in your plot to destroy your father’s marriage? And when you agreed, you raised the stakes by a thousand. I never asked you to torch ava’s car, and I certainly never would have suggested that you put her dead daughter’s hospital id beside it. That is just so incredibly cruel. But that’s who you really are, isn’t it? Cruel. Joss warned me about you. Trina warned me about you. Hell, even cameron, who gave you the benefit of the doubt, went out of his way to warn me that you were dangerous, and even still, I wanted to believe in you, esme. But then… [ Laughs ] Go on. When that video of josslyn and cameron came out, you couldn’t wait to show it to me. You pretended to be horrified, but I could see it written all over your face how happy you were. And then you insisted that it had to be trina who made it. That’s when I started to wonder and waver. And then when I decided to voice my fears that maybe, just maybe, you were the one behind the revenge porn, you instantly came up with a-a pregnancy scare? You think I made it up? Not then. No, esme. I still wanted to believe in you. But when trina was arrested, I just couldn’t look the other way anymore. Everything that josslyn had been saying and trina had done her best not to say, it was all true. You are the one who made that video, and you are the one who distributed it to the world. It was you all along!

Oh, there you are. I was — I was starting to wonder if I had the wrong time for your O.B. Appointment.

[ Sighs ] Willow, you okay? Go on, say it. You think I’m making a fool of myself by going out with the bum who parachuted into my life and couldn’t even apologize for almost drowning me? Honestly, britt, I’m happy for you. No, seriously. Y-you’re a smart woman. If you decided to give parachute guy a second chance, then good for you. Thank you for saying that. Though I’m sure we both know this is probably going to end in disaster. Sure seems like it. Okay, so, I have to ask again — why are you even doing it? You’re supposed to say “it’s going to be great.” But right now, I am late to see a patient.

[ Sighs ] Okay, man, you fess up now. I saw you all over britt westbourne on the fourth. Yeah.

[ Sighs ] What’s going on with that, man? Uh. How could you tell, man?

[ Laughs ] Please. I warned you away from britt and the first thing you do, your interest level goes through the roof. It’s classic. Yeah. So about your warning regarding britt… yeah. What about it? Well, given how you feel about her, my guess is you’re not going to feel too good if she and I go on a date. You’re right, spence. When I first met you, you were an angry, lost, self-centered little boy. And thanks to me, you not only lost your virginity, but you turned out to be an angry, lost, self-centered man. I cannot believe after everything I’ve done for you, standing by your side when even your own father turned his back on you, that this is how you repay me. Spence: All you ever did was work your own agenda. No, enough! You have had your say. Now it is my turn. If you think you can just go riding back to trina, oh, you are an even bigger fool than I thought, spence. You are even sadder and more pathetic than when I first met you. We were together at that cabin, remember? I couldn’t have planted that phone, even if I wanted to, because when I had enough of josslyn’s holier-than-thou attitude, we left together. Your precious, sweet trina could have planted that phone and did. There is simply no way you can get around that. Of course there is. So an anonymous tip claimed that trina robinson filmed and distributed the revenge porn. Now, is there any way to identify the source of that anonymous tip? No. If people thought their identities could be made public, we wouldn’t get the number of tips we get. That’s why it’s anonymous. Of course. So anyone could leave a false tip and suffer no repercussions whatsoever? Yes. Alright. So how did trina behave when you hauled her into the pcpd for questioning? There was no hauling her in. She came in voluntarily. Voluntarily? Well, that’s interesting. Now, you’ve already testified that that she asked for no counsel to be present, but when you began to question her, was she defensive? No, she was very cooperative. She kept repeating that josslyn jacks and cameron webber are her very close friends, and she wanted to do whatever was possible to catch the person responsible for the revenge porn. Maybe it was because her dad had been a police officer, but she was very eager to help and do the right thing. Okay. So when you opened her bag and found the other phone — I didn’t open her purse, trina did. I’m sorry, you’re saying that trina herself opened her bag and produced the other phone? Yes, that’s correct. In all of your many years of public service as a police commissioner, in your experience, is that the way a guilty person behaves? Objection, your honor. We’re not doing a composite sketch of a generic criminal. Actually, I’d like to answer that question because I do think it’s relevant. You may answer the question. Trina did not act anything at all like a guilty person. As I said, her main goal was to be helpful. Thank you. No further questions. Judge young: You may step down. I’d like to call my next witness, officer rory cabrera.

There’s nothing wrong with me, michael, I’m just nervous about our first consultation with the O.B. Congratulations to you both. And from the way you’re both smiling, I take it this is welcome news. Uh, we weren’t trying to get pregnant, but yes, this is very exciting news. We cannot wait to welcome the newest member of our family. Well, in that case, I ask the expectant father to wait here while I do a brief exam. I promise you, willow, it won’t take long. And I hope to give you both a very pleasant surprise. I should have known better, man. Warning you to steer clear of britt, that’s like catnip to you. You couldn’t help yourself. That’s like the forbidden fruit. Cody: [ Laughs ] It’s just one date, man. Yeah. What’s the big deal? I mean, she’s co-chief of staff of the hospital. She can’t be that bad. You remember when the counselors took us hiking up, uh, olson’s peak? Yeah, of course I do. You remember that? As I recall, you were always just a few steps behind me. Well, I don’t know about that, but I do know that there was a sign with big red letters that said, “do not veer off of paths.” Oh, jeez, yeah. And what’d you do? You veered us off the path. We almost got mauled by a bear.

[ Laughs ] I’ve never seen you run so fast before. Oh, man. Come on, man. Lighten up. If there isn’t any danger, there isn’t any fun. At least ava tried to buy me off. All you can do is try and bluff me. The truth is, I thought to myself, how can I twist esme’s arm? And then it hit me — well, what would esme do? For weeks, you’d been pretending to sympathize with joss because she and cameron hadn’t slept together yet. You even made a major production of insisting that they get the master bedroom at the cabin. And when we got back from skiing, before you came in with the drinks, you were the only person not in the living room. Cam, joss, trina, and I, we were all there. But you were off by yourself, and I figure that would have given you plenty of time to go into the master bedroom and set up that black market phone. That is a clever theory, spence. But you don’t have any proof. Oh, I’m not done. Because when we got back in town, I realized that I’d forgotten something, and that gave you the very convenient excuse of going back up to the cabin to pick up what I’d forgotten, as well as retrieve the phone that you’d recorded on. Once you had it, you sent the video to the pcu servers, planted the phone in trina’s purse. Okay, agatha christie. How could I have known that trina wouldn’t handle her booze well and she would go to her room? Are you accusing me of being a psychic now, too? What do we have here? No. No, not psychic, esme. You’re psycho, for sure. I don’t think you’re psychic. The reason that you knew that trina was going to pass out is because you spiked her hot toddy with those pills of yours — the ones that I found in your closet. I showed them to britt westbourne and she told me what would happen when they’re mixed with alcohol. You drugged trina to set her up. And britt told me that if the dosage had been off even by little, you could have really injured trina, maybe even killed her. Do you still think I’m bluffing? Officer cabrera, while you were on duty, were you recently called in to investigate a disturbance at a notorious biker bar, the highsider? Yes, that’s correct. It was a fairly routine complaint. A fight had broken out. Mm-hmm. And, uh, what did you find when you got there? I’m not sure I understand your question. There was a bar fight. I arrived after another unit had broken it up. Your honor, I’m submitting an eyewitness statement from another member of the pcpd who reported two underage girls that were caught up in this brawl. Tell me, officer cabrera, are those two underage girls in this courtroom? Your honor, I object. What does any of this have to do with the charges against my client? When officer cabrera answers the question, the connection will be obvious. I’ll allow it. And I’ll repeat the question. Officer cabrera, are those two underage girls in this courtroom today? Yes, they are. Can you state their names, please? Josslyn jacks and trina robinson. Thank you, officer cabrera. But there’s an even more important question that I need you to answer. Why were ms. Jacks and ms. Robinson in the bar that night?

[ Laughs ] Willow is a bit on the early side, but I think there’s a good chance we can detect a fetal heartbeat. Would you hold my hand?

[ Chuckles ] Of course. Alright.

[ Heartbeat ] That’s the baby’s heartbeat? That sure is.

[ Laughs ] Wow. Uh, you had me worried before, but listen to that heartbeat.

[ Laughs ] Strong and steady. Everything’s okay now. Why wouldn’t I date britt? She’s beautiful. She’s successful. She scraped me up in an alley and gave me a ride to your place. Why can’t you just be happy for me? I am happy for you, man, I’m just looking out for you because it’s something you seem to be incapable of doing for yourself. Oh, so I’m a charity case? Yeah, kind of. No, look, man, I’m your friend, okay? I gave you a couch. I kept you out of jail. My mom hooked you up with a job at the quartermaine stables. I mean, what does that say? That you put in a good word for me. That’s right. And I didn’t do it out of charity. Okay? I did it ’cause we’re friends. Even though we hadn’t seen each other in a long time, the minute — the minute I saw you falling out of the sky, man, I knew you hadn’t changed a bit. Yeah, well, you have, man. I don’t know. Maybe it’s ’cause you’re a dad. Maybe it’s the badge, but you’re a lot different than the kid from bensonhurst I used to know. Well, yeah. Yeah, I am. I grew up, man. Maybe you should try it sometime. You set up an innocent woman to potentially go to prison. Not to mention what you did to joss and cam with the sex tape. I’ll give you this much, esme — you were thorough in your revenge. You found a way to take them all down. You think you’ve got it all worked out, do you? Uh-huh. So what do you expect me to do? Just walk into that courtroom and trade places with trina? No, I don’t expect you to do that, because doing that would require a conscience, something that you clearly do not have. But if you were smart enough to frame trina, then you are smart enough to clear her without incriminating yourself. She really means that much to you? Well, I think that the more pertinent question is how much does your mother mean to you? Oh, my god, you ass! After all of the lies you’ve told, do you really expect me to believe that you found a match for my dna? I have the evidence, esme. It’s right here. You can look for yourself. I can tell you the name. Or you can walk out that door and you can let trina take the fall. It’s up to you. So what is more important to you? Ruining trina’s life or finding your mother? Rory: Mr. Robinson and ms. Jacks were carrying fake ids. I confiscated them and let them off with a stern warning to never try that again. Ada arden: Very understanding of you, officer. But were they only in that bar that night to drink alcohol as minors? I’m not sure what you mean. That document is a rap sheet for a bartender, oz haggerty, who was working at that same bar. Officer cabrera, can you read off the crimes that that bartender was arrested for? Petty theft. And he had a prior for trafficking in stolen electronics. Could you be more specific? What kind of electronics? Mostly black market cellphones. He sells black market cellphones, the kind that trina robinson’s best friend, josslyn jacks, according to her testimony, the defendant would never know how to buy.

Hey, willow. Are you okay? Am I okay? We just heard our baby’s heartbeat.

[ Laughs ] I have never been better or happier. Got your text. By the way, thanks for referring a new patient to me. Willow’s pregnancy is progressing nicely. We just heard the baby’s heartbeat. That’s great to hear, but I — I need you to keep me in the loop about willow. Why? Can we go to your office and I’ll fill you in? Okay, yeah, I don’t have a kid or steady career, but I’m growing up in my own way. Believe it or not, I’m actually already making plans for my future.

[ Laughs ] By being a stable boy? Come on, man. It’s got “boy” in the title. Mm-hmm. Make as many jokes as you want. I’m going to prove you wrong about a lot of things. Oh, yeah? Including britt westbourne? The matchmaker herself matched us up. The matchmaker matched you up, huh? Mm-hmm. Alright, well, here’s hoping that match doesn’t turn into a dumpster fire. But hey, if it does, remember your old pal tried to warn you otherwise.

[ Door closes ] You’re doing all of this

[Laughing] Because you think that you can win trina over? I clear her name and she’s all yours? Oh. Who is delusional now, spence? Even if trina did have feelings for you, she has moved on. Or have you’re not seen her with the hot rookie cop? Damn it, esme! Is that your final answer? No. You’ve given me a lot to think about. Well, don’t take too long, because I’m not going to leave this deal on the table indefinitely. As a reminder, I am not the one on trial. And as for you, if I hear that you tried to play the hero and go to trina with this conversation, you will never, ever get what you want. Neither will you. If it comes to choosing finding out who my mother is or hurting you the way that you have hurt me, don’t be so sure you’ll know what I’ll choose.

[ Door slams ] Officer cabrera, I just have a few questions for you. When you confiscated josslyn jacks’ and trina robinson’s fake ids inside the highsider, did you ask them why they were there? Yes. And what did they tell you? They were looking for the bartender who sold esme prince a black market phone. Okay, so is this kind of a referral deal? Esme prince got a groovy phone off this guy. They wanted one, too. Objection, your honor. Counsel is leading the witness. I’ll allow it, but get where you’re going, ms. Miller. Bottom line, were trina robinson and josslyn jacks in the highsider to purchase a black market phone? No. No. They were looking for the bartender, oz haggerty, to id esme prince. Ah. And did he? Objection, your honor. Hearsay. Officer cabrera was not present when ms. Jacks and the defendant allegedly spoke to mr. Haggerty. The officer has no idea what was said, if anything. Sustained. I have no further questions. Thank you. I’ll call for an adjournment.

[ Gavel bangs ] Bailiff: All rise. Well, I think there’s reasonable doubt, for sure.

[ Sighs ] I just hate the way the ada twisted my words. I don’t blame you, joss. I know you just tried to help me. Trina, honey, just — just hang in there, okay?

Xander: Why not? I mean, if kristen hadn’t shipped you off to that godforsaken island, we’d have celebrated our first anniversary by now. I don’t see any reason to wait. Unless you’ve changed your mind?

Sarah: No, no. No, I can’t wait to marry you. But, like–but don’t you want a wedding with all of your family and friends?

Sarah: Mm-hmm?

Xander: Will you marry me, today?

Sarah: [Laughing] Yes!

Xander: [Sighs]

Sarah: Now you can put that ring back on my finger.

Gwen: [Groans] Great. Maybe I should phone up “law & order: Special library unit” to find out the case of the missing bloody pages.

Roy: Rizczech.

Gwen: Roy. What’s up?

Roy: Brought you some company. Meet your new cell mate.

[Dramatic music]

Nancy: [Chuckles] Well, if it isn’t my least favorite…weasel. Hmm, have you heard the news?

Leo: You’re leaving town to join the circus? I always thought you’d make a great lion tamer.

Nancy: [Chuckles] You think you’re so damn funny, don’t you?

Leo: Ugh, what is your news? I don’t have time for schmoozing.

Nancy: Just forget about it. It’s all about my fella, and what’s it to you anyway?

Leo: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Your fella? Clyde weston?

Nancy: Yes. He was exonerated. He has an airtight alibi for the night that abigail was killed.

Leo: Whoa. Color me shocked.

Nancy: I told you all along that he was innocent. The only thing that he’s guilty of is, well, buying a piece of stolen jewelry. The person that he bought it from, that’s the real killer.

Marlena: I want to take you back to june 10th. Do you know where you were?

Lucas: I’m at the pub.

Marlena: Are you alone?

Lucas: No, my mom’s here with me. She just told me that abigail knows the truth. She knows that I’m the one who kidnapped sami.

Marlena: Okay. Tell me what happened next.

Lucas: I’m freaking out. I know that if abigail writes about it, if she–if she tells anybody, if she tells ej, that that’s it for me.

[Breathes shakily] My mom’s trying to tell me that abigail isn’t gonna say anything, but I– I don’t believe her.

Marlena: And then what?

Lucas: She–she left. And I, uh… I’m going around the bar. I’m grabbing a bottle of liquor.

Marlena: What happened next?

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

[Soft orchestration]

Gwen: You’re my new cellmate?

Kristen: Disappointed?

Gwen: Bit surprised. I mean, how does a mastermind criminal like kristen dimera end up here?

Kristen: [Chuckles] By choice.

Gwen: So in other words, you mean the authorities have finally caught up to you, then?

Kristen: Oh, please. I could have outrun those morons for the rest of my life. But I missed my little girl. I couldn’t bear the thought of never seeing her again.

Gwen: Well, that is just bloody fantastic. Not only am I stuck behind bars, but now I have to bunk with the woman who destroyed my relationship with the love of my life.

Xander: About your ring…

Sarah: You still have it, right? Kristen gave it back to you when she was pretending to be me and called off the wedding.

Xander: She did. But, um…

Sarah: But what?

Xander: I’m no longer in possession of it.

Sarah: Did you throw it away when you thought that I broke your heart?

Xander: Of course not. I wouldn’t do that with something as important as your engagement ring.

Sarah: Oh, thank god.

Xander: No, I sold it.

Sarah: What?

Xander: There was something I really needed to buy.

Sarah: What?

Xander: This.

Sarah: Oh, it’s beautiful. It’s–it’s very different than the other one. Is that the idea behind it? Was it, you just wanted to get me something new? A fresh start?

Xander: I, um– I didn’t buy this ring for you.

Sarah: Mm. Who’d you buy it for?

Xander: Gwen.

Gwen: You sold my ring to buy one for gwen?

Xander: [Sighs] Sarah, you have to understand. At the time, I thought there was no hope for us. I had no idea you were trapped on that island. I thought you’d run off with rex and wanted nothing more to do with me.

Sarah: Mm, and that was before I’d been given a second dose of a mind-altering drug by the woman you were about to marry.

Xander: I’m so sorry, sarah. Look, if I had known what gwen was capable of, the lengths she was gonna go to, I never would have bought this ring.

Sarah: I know. And obviously, I understand why gwen was so desperate to hold on to you. I just wish she would have chosen to do something a little less extreme, like challenge me to a cage fight or a duel or something.

Xander: She put your life in danger with that drug. I’ll–I’ll never forgive her.

Sarah: Then how about we forget her? Hmm? My meds are working. I mean, it’s probable that the hallucinations have just stopped, so–

Xander: I hope so. I know how terrifying they’ve been for you, looking at someone and seeing kristen dimera instead.

Sarah: And wanting to kill them. Xander, I’m– I’m so lucky that there was always a third person there to talk me down. I could’ve really hurt someone.

Kristen: Don’t blame all of this on me.

[Chuckles] You wouldn’t even be with xander if I hadn’t shipped sarah off to that island.

Gwen: Oh. Oh, kristen, darling, I’m so very grateful to you. I mean, look around here. I’m living the dream, thanks to you.

Kristen: Well, I can’t help it if you’re not smart enough to stay out of this joint.

Gwen: Excuse me, I am the one who helped keep you out of prison. You blackmailed me into helping you escape. You said if I didn’t, you would tell xander the truth.

Kristen: And when xander started looking into sarah’s disappearance, I’m the one who gave you the mask.

Gwen: So that I could pose as sarah and go to him and tell him to leave her alone and go back to me, which I did.

Kristen: And did he buy it?

Gwen: Yes, but–

Kristen: But nothing.

[Chuckles] Oh, my god. I gave you everything you needed to walk down that aisle with that stupid ape, and abigail is the one who got in your way. So if you want to blame someone for destroying your relationship, blame your little sister.

Leo: The cops already have someone in custody for abigail’s murder.

Nancy: Already? Who? Lucas horton?

Leo: Mm-hmm.

Nancy: That’s impossible. He’s abigail’s uncle. He loved her.

Leo: I assume he loved his fiancée too, and yet he’s accused of kidnapping her. Sounds like herr horton was on quite a crime spree.

Nancy: This isn’t possible. I’ve known lucas for years. He’s–he’s incapable of murder. It must be the brain tumor.

Leo: He has a brain tumor? The article didn’t mention that.

Nancy: Oh, that’s right. He made it up.

Leo: He lied about having a terminal illness? Even I’ve never sunk that low. Well, I don’t know if he’s lost his marbles or what, but he sure sounds guilty to me.

Nancy: No, lucas has done some terrible things in his life, but he would never have killed abigail. The police are barking up the wrong tree. Psoriatic arthritis,

Clyde: Man, I could lose everything, thanks to you. My job, my girl, my freedom. But I’m gonna get me some payback when I sue you and the rest of the keystone cops for false arrest.

Jada: You could sue, but you’d lose.?

Jada: I’m sure commissioner hernandez explained that he had every right to bring you in. You’d been in possession of stolen property which was linked to a murder.

Clyde: Young lady, I was wronged by the cops, and I’m gonna hold ’em accountable.

Jada: Fine, bring your suit. But just know that if you do, what you did to ej dimera will most likely get dragged into this.

Clyde: How do you know about that?

Jada: Admittedly, it’s his word against yours, but a good prosecutor could really build a strong case against you. And from what I hear, melinda trask is desperate for a win and will do anything to get it. So instead of borrowing trouble, why don’t you back off?

Clyde: Who the hell are you?

Jada: Jada hunter. Pleasure to meet you, mr. Weston.

Clyde: I’m gonna take my break.

Rafe: I have to admit, that was very impressive.

Jada: Does that mean I’m hired?

Sarah: So what are you gonna do with that ring? Do not say give it to me.

Xander: Of course not. I’m gonna trade it in. I bought this at the same pawn shop that I sold yours, so I can just do a simple swap, and then we can get married.

Sarah: Do you think they still have my ring?

Xander: I’m very optimistic.

Sarah: Hmm, okay. Well, then all we need is someone to officiate.

Xander: Your mum can do it.

Sarah: My mother?

Xander: She got ordained online. Yeah, last fall, she married justin and bonnie.

Sarah: Oh, I bet victor loved that.

Xander: Actually, I heard he behaved himself and they had a lovely ceremony. In fact, there’s a rumor going around that bonnie and vic are getting on rather well. And if that’s possible, then pulling off our wedding should be a piece of cake.

Sarah: So we’re really doing this.

Xander: We are really doing this.

Sarah: [Squeals]

Xander: [Chuckles]

Gwen: You want me to blame abigail for my troubles?

Kristen: Well, I guess you can’t blame her that much since she’s dead, but don’t take your frustration out on me.

Gwen: Doesn’t really leave too many people to take them out on, does it? Why are you looking at me like that?

Kristen: Well… it just occurred to me that your sister was viciously murdered, stabbed repeatedly in her own bed. Clearly whoever did that was filled with rage.

Gwen: Or maybe it was a robbery, and abigail was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Kristen: [Chuckles] No, I don’t think so. Mm-mm. See, I think this was personal. See, whoever came at abigail with that knife hated her with a passion. Like you, gwen. See, you despised your sister for exposing you right before you were about to marry the love of your life. You came so close, and she took it all away.

Gwen: So I’m your prime suspect then, am I?

Kristen: Mm.

Gwen: You know what? I think you’ve been reading too many of these.

Kristen: Are you saying that you didn’t have a motive?

Gwen: I had motive, yes. But you see, there’s a tiny little problem there with your theory. I couldn’t have killed abigail. You know why? ‘Cause I was locked up in here.

Kristen: Mm.

Marlena: Lucas, you took a bottle of liquor from behind the bar at the pub. Did you–did you stay there and drink it?

Lucas: No. No, I went to the park.

[Groans] I was beyond upset. I knew if abigail told anyone what I had done, I’d lose sami. I’d lose everything. I just–I just wanted to forget, so I kept drinking. But then…

[Grunts] I left.

Marlena: Where did you go when you left the park?

Lucas: Abigail. Abigail, it’s your uncle lucas. I need to talk to you now.

[Breathing heavily] Oh, my god. Oh, my god, I was there. I went to see abigail.

Nancy: Clyde?

Clyde: Oh, nancy.

Nancy: Clyde… I heard you were released.

Clyde: Yeah. Good to be out. Even better to see you.

Nancy: Mm. I’m glad. So I hear you have an airtight alibi?

[Both sigh] The security footage from the dock.

Clyde: Yeah. Kind of glad big brother caught me fishing.

Nancy: Well, like I said, I’m glad for you. I mean, I know you’ve done some questionable things, but, clyde, I knew there was no way you could have killed that innocent young woman in cold blood.

Clyde: That’s one crime I swear to you I did not commit.

[Sighs] But I have to admit, not all my misdeeds are in the past.

Nancy: What do you mean?

Clyde: I owe you an apology. It was dead wrong of me to give you that stolen bracelet.

Leo: Hey!

Xander: Watch it.

Leo: Oh. [Gasps] My, my, what do we have here?

[Gasps] Xandy. I’ve dreamt about this day. The answer’s yes.

Xander: Just be careful with that.

Leo: What, it’s not for me?

Xander: Course it’s not for you, you idiot. It’s for sarah. We’re getting married today.

Leo: What about gwen? Oh, is she just out of sight, out of mind?

Xander: Gwen destroyed our relationship when she poisoned sarah with that second dose of rolf’s drug.

Leo: Well, if you’re getting married today, she must be okay now.

Xander: Gwen didn’t cause any permanent damage, thank god, but sarah’s been struggling for months. They’ve only just figured out her dose, and she’s finally back in her right mind.

Leo: Are you sure about that? I mean, she’d have to be nuts to marry you with that heinous ring.

Xander: I have a wedding to get to.

Leo: Yeah, for the record, gwen only did what she did because she loved you. And you led her to believe you loved her too, or have you forgotten? It wasn’t that long ago you were putting a ring on her finger.

Kristen: So… you were in prison when abigail was murdered? Huh?

[Chuckles]

Roy: Hey, rizczech.

Gwen: Oh, hi, roy.

Roy: Mm-mm. You missed bed check. Where the hell have you been?

Gwen: That’s right. And thanks to abigail outing me at my wedding, I was already serving my time here for helping you kidnap her.

Kristen: Hmm. And giving sarah another dose of that drug? Yeah, word gets around.

Gwen: So then since I was locked up, it should be obvious to you now I could not have possibly killed my sister.

Kristen: Hmm. Well, I suppose, to the average person, I’d consider that an airtight alibi. But a criminal mastermind like me? There’s plenty of ways of getting in and out of this place if you know what you’re doing.

Gwen: Mm. And if you happen to have a woman that looks exactly like you and who is willing to take your place.

Kristen: Well, they say everyone has a twin.

Gwen: Well, not me. I don’T. No. No twins, no friends, and…no way out.

Kristen: Aww. Well, then I guess you’re right, gwen. Hmm? You do have an alibi.

Maggie: Oh, sarah. Oh, my goodness, are you a sight for sore eyes.

Sarah: Hi, mom. What’s wrong?

Maggie: Oh. [Chuckles] I was just reading about lucas.

Sarah: [Sighs]

Maggie: You know, I am still– I’m trying to process that he’s the one that kidnapped sami.

Sarah: [Sighs] You know, as a kidnap victim myself, I can tell you that some people will just go to extremes for love.

Maggie: [Sighs] Yeah. And as awful as holding sami captive was, I cannot believe that he is the one that murdered abigail.

Sarah: No, I–I don’t– I don’t think so either. But it does sound like he fell off the wagon pretty hard.

Maggie: Yeah. He must have been in a very– a very dark and desperate place. And god knows I know about that myself. Hey, but you know what? The lucas that I know, he’s not capable of that kind of violence.

Sarah: Yeah. I agree, mom.

Maggie: I wish someone would convince the police.

Rafe: Detective hunter, as much as I appreciate the assist with clyde, we still do have to go through the formality of this interview.

Jada: Course, commissioner. Steve johnson let me know that you’re very diligent.

Rafe: Oh, well, he had many good things to say about you as well. In fact, he couldn’t recommend you highly enough.

Jada: Well, that’s very kind of you, but he was one of my father’s oldest friends, so you should probably take it with a grain of salt.

Rafe: Ah, yes. Marcus hunter.

Jada: He was a doctor here in salem for years. He always said that this was a great place to live. So when I heard you were down a couple detectives, I took that as an opportunity to bone up on the abigail dimera case.

Rafe: Clearly.

Jada: So, uh, mr. Weston, his alibi, is it solid?

Rafe: Yeah, rock-solid. Time-stamped security footage. But we do have another suspect in custody.

Jada: Lucas horton. I read about that. But unless there’s something you’re holding back, it doesn’t seem like you have much to hold him on.

Rafe: Well, I don’t have a problem telling you that the evidence we have against him is, well, thin. But we are working on that right now.

Marlena: So you went to the dimera house that night.

Lucas: I was banging on the front door. I was yelling for abigail.

Marlena: Did she answer?

[Knocking at door]

Lucas: Abigail, I know you’re in there; open up. No, no she didn’t answer. I tried the door, but it was locked.

[Dramatic music]

Marlena: Lucas, did you leave?

Lucas: No. I went in through the french doors. Abigail, are you in here? Abigail! She wasn’t there, so I decided to fix myself a drink and wait.

[Lid clatters]

[Burps] I was slicing a lemon, and the knife slipped. Aah! Ow!

[Groaning] Ow! [Groans] Ow.

[Groans]

Marlena: So that’s how you cut your hand? It was on the knife that you used to cut the lemon.

Lucas: Yes.

Marlena: What did you do next? Did you leave?

Lucas: No. No, I started slicing another lemon for my drink, and that’s when I heard a noise from upstairs.

Gwen: There’s just so much that I wish I’d done differently.

Kristen: Regrets are a waste of time, sister.

Gwen: All I have is bloody time. You were right. If I had been more clever, careful, if I hadn’t made so many stupid mistakes, I’d still be with xander.

Kristen: You are better off without him. The guy is a monster who made me think that my baby was dead.

Gwen: That’s only because he couldn’t bear to tell sarah that she’d lost her own.

Kristen: Oh, oh. So…he did it for love, and that makes it okay?

Gwen: No, I didn’t say that.

Kristen: Oh, good, good. Good, because what–what he did was sick and wrong and twisted.

[Sighs] I mean, sarah did give me rachel back. I mean, I did have to chase her all the way to paris.

Gwen: So you don’t blame her, then?

Kristen: No. No, I don’T. She was a grieving mother. And xander made her pain a thousand times worse with his lies.

[Chuckles] So hey, if she wants to be with him, let her have him. You just gotta sit back and relax and just watch their relationship combust on its own.

Gwen: Yeah, like that’s ever gonna happen.

Kristen: [Chuckles] I don’t know. What I’ve seen is, uh, sarah is still a bit…off.

Maggie: Come on. As worried as I am about lucas…

Sarah: Mm-hmm.

Maggie: Right now, I want to hear from you. How are you doing, sweetheart?

Sarah: I’m doing better. Yeah, I, uh–my hallucinations are under control, thanks to my meds. And…I haven’t had a kristen sighting in a couple days, which is good.

Maggie: I’m glad. You know, I was really worried that what gwen did to you would keep you from getting on with your life.

Sarah: Yeah, I don’t think that you have to be worried. I’m, um… I’m hopeful about the future. And I want to seize the day.

Maggie: Okay.

Sarah: So…are you busy?

Maggie: Uh, no. [Chuckles] Why?

Sarah: Xander and I were wondering if you would marry us.

Maggie: Oh, now?

Sarah: Mm-hmm. Yeah, we don’t want to wait. He’s–he’s picking up my ring as we speak, and then we’ll be good to go.

Maggie: [Sighs] Are you sure that’s what you want?

Sarah: More than anything.

Maggie: Well, I know that’s what xander wants.

Sarah: [Chuckles]

Maggie: I saw him while you were gone, and he was a broken man. I mean, all those months, he never–he never got over you.

Sarah: Well, he doesn’t have to. I’m back. And we can finally start our life together.

Jada: Did you find the murder weapon?

Rafe: The knife? Not yet. But there is another person of interest in the mix.

Jada: Oh?

Rafe: Yeah.

Jada: And you’re looking into it?

Rafe: Yeah. But the description that clyde provided has been, well, let’s say less than helpful. So at the moment, uh, lucas is the person of interest that we’re focusing on. Speaking of which, I should get back to the station, see if there’s anything new. You coming?

Jada: Does that mean I got the job?

Rafe: Welcome to salem pd.

Marlena: Lucas, tell me about what you heard.

Lucas: I’m not sure.

Marlena: What did you do next?

Lucas: I walked towards the foyer, and I heard some sort of commotion, so I stopped.

Marlena: And then?

Lucas: I saw someone rushing down the stairs toward the front door.

Marlena: Who was it?

[Suspenseful music]

Lucas: Oh, my god.

Migraine attacks?

Maggie: Sarah, are you almost ready?

[Sighs]

Sarah: [Giggles] Well? What do you think? It’s not bad after months in storage on a tropical island.

Maggie: Sweetheart, you look beautiful.

Sarah: [Chuckles]

Xander: I’ll second that.

Sarah: [Gasps]

Maggie: [Gasps]

Sarah: Oh! You clean up so nice.

Xander: Well, especially since I have this.

Sarah: Is that the sporran I got you?

Xander: It is. I found it with the note that you left me after I thought you’d left me. You were right. No kilt would be complete without it.

Sarah: Just like I’m not complete without you.

Xander: Well, in addition to being very handsome, it’s also quite practical. Look.

Sarah: [Gasps] You got my ring back. They still had it. Thank god.

Xander: If they hadn’t, I’d have gone to the ends of the earth to track it down for you.

Sarah: Hmm. So all we need now are wedding bands.

Xander: Hmm, as I said, very practical.

Sarah: [Chuckles]

Maggie: [Laughs] Well, I believe we have everything now. So come on, let’s get on with this thing. Let’s make you husband and wife.

Clyde: I wish I could tell you how much I’d like to waltz into one of them fancy jewelry stores and just buy the most expensive bracelet they got. But I can’t afford that. So if I’m gonna give you the kind of present you deserve, I gotta cut corners.

Nancy: Clyde, you don’t have to give me fancy gifts to impress me.

Clyde: Well, that’s what you’re used to, isn’t it? I mean, I’m guessing that doctor ex-husband of yours would give you anything that you wanted.

Nancy: [Chuckles] Except for the one thing I wanted most, clyde. A man who loved me.

Clyde: He didn’t love you?

Nancy: No. He di–he does. Clyde, craig was never in love with me.

Clyde: Yeah.

Nancy: He spent years lying to me and to himself.

Clyde: Well, that’s tough.

Nancy: So, um, the best– the most valuable thing that you could ever give me is honesty.

Clyde: Okay. From here on out, it’s nothing but the god’s honest truth. Though I do have to say that even though I lied to you about how I acquired that bracelet, I wasn’t lying about who I got it from.

Nancy: Some guy.

Clyde: Yeah. I just wish I could remember exactly what he looked like.

Rafe: So there are a couple empty desks. You can feel free to take…

Marlena: Rafe…

Rafe: Either one. Yes? And this is dr. Marlena evans, the psychiatrist who hypnotized lucas horton.

Marlena: Nice to meet you.

Jada: Dr. Evans.

Rafe: So how’d it go? Was lucas able to remember anything about the night abigail was murdered?

Marlena: Yes. Absolutely.

From prom dresses

Nancy: The police have someone in custody right now.

Clyde: You don’t sound too happy about that.

Nancy: Well, I’ve– I’ve known this person for years, and I don’t think it’s possible for him to have killed abigail. I mean, I– clyde… I want you to take a look at this picture and tell me if this is the person who sold you the bracelet.

Clyde: Well, that’s lucas. Kate’s boy. It wasn’t him.

Nancy: [Sighs]

Clyde: No.

[Scoffs] I wish I could figure out who this weasel was, make him pay for what he did to me.

Nancy: [Chuckles] I just had to deal with my own little weasel. Leo stark. The man that my husband left me for.

Clyde: You ask me, he did you a favor. He did me one too.

Nancy: Thank you. That’s very sweet, clyde, but…

[Sighs] Leo stark is pond scum. He makes whoever sold you that bracelet look like a prince.

Clyde: Well, maybe. But if I find out who it is, little hustler who jammed me up, man, there’s gonna be trouble.

Lucas: What did rafe say?

Marlena: He said don’t worry. He’s on it.

[Phone beeps]

Rafe: Chad, wanted to give you a heads up, I’m bringing in a person of interest.

Maggie: We are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony. If anyone can show just cause as to why these two people should not be joined in marriage– I can’t imagine who that might be, but speak now, or forever hold your peace.

Jada: I can.

Gwen: What do you mean, sarah seems off?

Kristen: Well, before I was transferred here, she came to visit me at the police station in salem. She chewed me out for ruining her life. Told me that she was still having hallucinations. Apparently she sees me everywhere.

Gwen: So I heard.

Kristen: Yeah, it seems like she’s, uh, still feeling that aftereffect of the second jab you gave her. So cheer up, gwennie. If sarah is stuck in crazy town, then maybe she and xander won’t be riding off into the sunset after all.

Maggie: Who are you?

Jada: Detective jada hunter, salem pd.

Maggie: And you have an objection to this marriage?

Sarah: Do you know her?

Xander: Never seen her before in my life.

Jada: I’m afraid I have to bring you in for questioning.

Maggie: Oh, no, xander. What have you done now?

Jada: Not him. Her. I’m here for dr. Sarah horton.

B&B logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Brooke: So, did you work everything out, sweetheart?

Hope: Yeah, no, it’s fine. It’s just security trying to stop aunt donna from leaving with beth.

Liam: Oh… that’s my bad. I was supposed to call this morning and tell them the schedule and I didn’T.

Hope: No, it’s fine. It’s okay, really. I–I forgot the new gate code yesterday.

Ridge: I know all of this is a big inconvenience. I’m sorry.

Brooke: Well, it’s necessary.

Liam: Yeah, it is necessary.

[Stammers] Do the police have any…leads? Has sheila tried to contact anyone?

Ridge: Apparently not.

Hope: It’s like sheila’s disappeared. I–I just don’t understand how that can be.

[Monitor beeping]

Sheila: [Sighs] I love you so much, finn. All I have ever wanted was for you to love me back, baby. There he is. My precious boy. How you feeling? Do you want me to get you anything? Is there anything that you need?

Finn: Steffy. I need steffy.

Ridge: Baker assures me that finding sheila is his top priority.

Liam: Oh. Well, then. Good luck with that, ’cause she could be anywhere by now.

Brooke: Or she could still be in town.

Hope: Which is even scarier.

Ridge: And probably more likely because I mean, look, she could’ve left before anyone found out that she was the shooter. But now she’s got no passport, no id, no credit cards, no money. Where’s she going?

Liam: Then it’s really good that steffy and the kids are out of the country ’cause that means they’re safe.

Ridge: Yes, we–we can assume that but we– we can’t let our guard down. We’ve gotta help the police put that woman behind bars. We gotta do it, and that’s why baker’s coming over here now.

Brooke: Well, we might have information that they may need.

Liam: Information about sheila? What information?

Hope: Did she try to contact you? Did she make some sort of threat?

Brooke: No. It’s just… we may know how sheila escaped from prison.

Sheila: I know how much you miss steffy, hayes, and kelly.

Finn: They think I’m dead. I need to see my family.

[Door opens]

Mike: It’s me!

[Door closes] Everything okay? Your kid’s still in pretty bad shape. You don’t want to get him all wound up.

Sheila: I don’t need your opinions, mike.

Mike: Maybe I should’ve made yours decaf.

Sheila: I was just explaining to my son… how his family needs him to recover. You need to rest. You need to regain your strength. I’m here, let me take care of you and then you will be reunited with steffy and the kids.

Finn: Today. Today! I want to see steffy today. (Vo) red lobster’s seafood summerfest is fire!

Brooke: We have to do whatever we can to bring sheila to justice.

Liam: And–and this– this clue you guys are hesitating to tell us about is gonna make that happen or…

Ridge: It’s gonna be a start for the police. They can maybe find something. Look, the longer sheila’s out there, the more dangerous she becomes to us.

Liam: Well, yeah, sure, but thankfully you have this place locked down.

Ridge: And it’s gonna stay locked down until we find her.

Brooke: And there’s not going to be anybody literally opening up doors for her. The police think this was an inside job. And I think it was an old friend who set her free.

[Knocks on door]

Ridge: That’s gotta be baker. Tell security to let him through. Hey. Come on in. Thanks for coming by.

Baker: I guess this is about sheila carter?

Ridge: Yeah, last conversation we had, um, got us thinking.

Baker: Yeah, me too. I went back over the interview transcripts, had my team go deeper into the prison personnel, especially the officer in charge when sheila escaped.

Baker: Guthrie?

Baker: That’s right. Richard michael guthrie. That name mean something to you?

Mike: Your prisoner… I mean, patient, seems a little agitated. Maybe you want to sedate him again.

Sheila: I am not holding him hostage.

Finn: Yes, you are. Look at me, I’m trapped in this bed.

Sheila: You’re injured! I’ve been treating you! Baby… I love you. And everything that I have been doing is for you.

Mike: You want him to go nighty-night?

Sheila: No. I just–I just want him to calm down.

[Sighs] Can you do that? Can you be good for mike for just a little bit so I can go jump in the shower?

Mike: Hey, sheila, I’m not a babysitter. I’m a highly trained security officer.

Sheila: Yeah, and I’m just hoping you don’t have to use any of those tactical moves while I’m gone. I won’t be gone long.

Mike: Make it quick. I gotta go to work.

Sheila: Okay.

[Sighs]

Mike: This is crazy, huh? You were a goner. But you’re back now. Look, finn… what your mother said is true.

Finn: Sheila.

Mike: She could’ve gone on the run. She–she stayed here for you.

[Shower running] She’s risking everything to be here with you. If that’s not love…

Finn: Hmm, it’s not. If she loved me, I’d be in a hospital. And my family… wouldn’t be grieving for no reason. Listen… mike… I know you’re the one who got her out of prison.

Mike: Uniform’s kind of a giveaway.

Finn: Why? Why would you do that?

Mike: It’s personal.

Finn: She got some sort of hold over you?

Mike: Sheila and i go way back. We have a lot of history. There’s just something about her. I have a weakness for sheila, always have. Got this power over me. Maybe it’s her eyes. Like a wild animal the way she looks right into you.

Finn: She’s gonna ruin your life, mike. She’s a fugitive. An escaped convict. They won’t stop until they find her. She will go back to prison. You will, too. Unless… you help me get out of here. You do the right thing before it’s too late. Cats really know how to do less

Ridge: Richard michael guthrie.

Brooke: The guard in charge when sheila escaped was mike?

Baker: His employment records at the prison say “richard.”

Ridge: Well, when he worked security at forrester, it was mike.

Hope: That mike?

Liam: I’m sorry, what are you guys talking about?

Hope: No, the one that i heard all those stories about.

Ridge: Yeah, he and sheila, they–they were like bonnie and clyde.

Liam: Does that mean they committed crimes together? Like, what–what–

Ridge: Yes!

Brooke: Yes, kidnapping, tampering with medical records, blackmail.

Liam: Oh, that’s fun.

Ridge: So how does someone like that end up working in a prison? How does that work?

Baker: We’re looking into it.

Brooke: Do you know where he is right now? Maybe he’s with sheila somewhere!

Baker: Well, at this point there’s no evidence to suggest that he had anything to do with sheila’s escape.

Ridge: No evidence? He’s her henchman! We just said that!

Baker: Right now their connection is circumstantial. We need video evidence, witnesses, something.

Ridge: So the fact that sheila escaped while guthrie was watching her, that’s just a coincidence, you believe that?

Baker: What I believe doesn’t put people in prison. Evidence does. Officer guthrie is already a person of interest in this case. He’s given the police a statement.

Brooke: But the statement you showed us was very vague.

Ridge: Yeah, he didn’t answer any questions, not at all. And now we know that he knew sheila from before. Isn’t that reason enough to call him back in?

Baker: His employment record is spotless. He hasn’t missed a day of work. He’s not behaving like a man with anything to hide.

Hope: Wait, so he might have helped sheila escape from prison, but he’s still working there?

Ridge: Is he working today?

Baker: Yeah, I checked. He’s ready to start on the next shift.

Ridge: Well, then, let’s go down there and see him. And I promise you, when he sees us, he’s gonna have a lot to say.

Mike: Sheila’s been out for a while now. Cops haven’t found her.

Finn: She will get caught, mike. And you’ll go down with her. But if you do as I say, and you listen to me, you– you could be the hero in this story.

Mike: Makes sheila the villain. Finn, sheila wasn’t trying to kill you. She didn’t kidnap you. She saved your life. I was there, I saw it. She was desperate. She would’ve done anything to bring you back.

Finn: Well, now she wants to keep me.

Mike: No! No, no. As soon as you’re better, she’s gonna let you go back to your wife and kids. You’re on your way.

Finn: And then what? Are we just gonna go on and pretend like none of this ever happened?

Mike: I don’t know. Maybe she and I’ll…take off. Hit the road together.

Finn: And that’s your plan? Go on the run with sheila? Yeah, she’s laying low for now, but a prison guard and a fugitive… on the run. You can’t hide forever. They will find you. But you can fix this. I’ll speak on your behalf. I promise. Let me go.

[Door opens]

[Door closes]

Sheila: [Chuckles] What’s going on?

Mike: Nothing.

Sheila: Nothing?

Mike: I gotta to go work.

Sheila: You do that. We wouldn’t want anyone to get suspicious, would we? What was that about?

Finn: What?

Sheila: Mike. In such a hurry to rush out of here. What– what did you say to him? Are you planning something, finn? So, you’re 45.

Liam: So… what do we know about this mike guy?

Hope: Oh, well, apparently he has a history with sheila and our family. It was a long time ago and no one really talks about it but he was a guard at forrester.

Liam: Well, I mean, that makes sense. That’s a useful person for sheila to have around.

Hope: I wonder if he’s the one who let her out.

Liam: Well, if he did, he’s clearly not too bright because he’s gonna be suspect number one, right?

Hope: I don’t get why he would jeopardize his job like that.

Liam: Oh, I’m sure sheila promised him something.

Hope: Yeah, well, sheila’s full of promises, but she never keeps them.

Liam: [Chuckles]

Hope: Unless it’s for revenge, so I can see why ridge is worried.

Liam: Yeah, well, ridge is also highly motivated to get to the bottom of this thing and if… he and your mom are right, that mike guthrie is the one who helped sheila escape, then they’ve basically solved the case.

Guard: You’re late, richard.

Mike: Sorry, I got hung up checking on a friend.

Guard: Well, you have some people waiting to see you. Showed up a little while ago.

Mike: Who? Who’s waiting to see me?

Baker: Mike guthrie?

Mike: What’s going on?

Baker: I’m deputy chief baker, los angeles police. We’d like to ask you a few questions.

Mike: About what?

Ridge: About how you helped sheila carter escape.

Finn: You’re making a mistake keeping me here.

Sheila: I’m just trying to make you comfortable and nurse you back to health.

Finn: Then give me your phone. Let me call my family.

Sheila: [Chuckles] That’s what you were talking to mike about.

Finn: Yeah. Just trying to get through to him, make him see what’s really going on here. How much trouble he’s in.

Sheila: Hmm. Must not have worked or you wouldn’t be asking me for my phone.

Finn: It’s only a matter of time, sheila. The police are gonna track you down. You can’t hid me here forever.

Sheila: What are you talking about, “forever”? I’m not holding you hostage, I’m taking care of you. Are you in pain? No. You’re being fed, you’re being medicated. And if I didn’t love you so much, I would’ve run. I would’ve run so far away from here, and I never would’ve come back. But all I want, all I’ve ever wanted, is to spend time with my precious little boy that was kept away from me all those years. Is that too much to ask?

Finn: Yeah. Because I don’t want to spend another second with you. I want to go home, to steffy, to hayes, and kelly. They think I’m dead. Do you know how cruel that is? Damn it, sheila, I am not asking you! I am telling you! You need to let me go now!

Sheila: Why are you talking to me in this tone? I love you!

Finn: Then prove it! Let me talk to steffy and tell her I’m alive!

Sheila: Not yet.

Finn: Now. Now.

Sheila: No, it wouldn’t even matter. What are you– what are you doing?

Finn: I’m out of here.

Sheila: No. No.

Finn: I don’t care. I’m getting out of here.

Sheila: You can’t! You can’t do that!

Finn: …Be with my family! I don’t care if I gotta tear off every wire, or every…

Sheila: Get back in there!

Finn: I’m gonna go be with my wife and my family!

Sheila: You’re gonna hurt yourself. You don’t–

Finn: Get off me! I’m gonna see steffy! Now! I’m going to my family!
