[ Heart rate monitor beeping ]

Finn: Mom?

Sheila: Yes. Honey, yes, it’s mom. I’m– I’m right here.

[ Machine beeping faster ] Thank god you’re back.

Taylor: Ridge, how do you think steffy is doing?

Ridge: How do I think she’s doing? I know how she’s doing. She’s doing okay. Because she’s strong and she’s going to continue to be strong for her kids.

Taylor: Yes. Yes, that is true.

Ridge: That is true. And she’s got kelly. Kelly’s gonna keep on her toes. Man, that kid. She reminds me of steffy when she was young.

Taylor: Yeah. She’s so curious and feisty.

Ridge: Yeah. Remember steffy? She used to hide under my desk and– and racks of clothing. I mean, she’d be in the warehouse trying dresses on. High heels. Always… was trying to be involved.

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: So sweet.

Taylor: Steffy’s always been such a bright light. If sheila dulls her sparkle, I–

Ridge: Can you not– don’t– don’t do that. It’s not going to happen. Steffy’s going to stay the strong, independent woman she’s always been. And that lunatic sheila, she’s not taking anything else away from us. It’s not going to happen. We’re done with that.

Hope: Hey.

Liam: Hey. How’s– how’s brooke?

Hope: Oh. She’s fine. She’s just worried about sheila.

Liam: Yeah, I bet. Any news on that?

Hope: Nope, not yet.

Liam: God, this– this is crazy. It really is.

Hope: Yeah. Yeah. There’s a– a dangerous woman on the loose. And frankly, I’m– I’m really worried for us all. And– and my mom, I mean, it’s not long ago that she was a target of sheila’S.

Liam: Yeah, no kidding. I mean, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried, too.

Hope: I just– why can’t they find her? Where– where could sheila be?

Hope: I just– I feel like I’m just going to be on high alert, like on pins and needles until sheila is found. And I know– I know that I should relax and be present in the moment. But–

Liam: I– I know, well– but, hey, listen, listen. This is– this is why maybe we– we just start a new habit, right? Every– every morning we wake up and we remind ourselves of all the things that we can control, all the things that we are grateful for. Like the kids. Kids are good. That’s something– that’s a check, right?

Hope: Yeah. Um, in this moment, there are safe.

Liam: They are safe. Thank god. And sheila, you know, maybe– maybe we, um, take a little mental break from her. Change the subject a little bit. Eric and donna, there’s a subject for you. That’s a fun one, right? I’m assuming they are, like, full on to– together. You know what I mean? Just–

Hope: Yeah. They are– I mean, they do make sense together. So–

Liam: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, even if it means eric has to go through the pain of divorce, I– I’m imagining they’re just trying to enjoy themselves in the meantime. And– and you know what? I think eric deserves that, and I couldn’t be happier for him. So there.

[ Liam laughs ]

Ridge: Well, you know, the all– the security and the extra guards, that– it’s just a precaution, right? I’m not good sitting around doing nothing.

Taylor: I know. God, I appreciate you so much. Any of us could be a target with sheila on the loose. We’re all grateful for the added security. At least there haven’t been any incidents.

Ridge: No. But I think we both know she’s not going to stay away forever.

Taylor: No. She’ll show her face again. I just wish we knew where she was.

[ Heart rate monitor beeping ]

[ Finn moans ]

Sheila: Does that hurt?

[ Finn moans ]

Sheila: You nee– you need to tell me where or– or what or i can’t help you.

[ Heart rate monitor beeping ]

Sheila: Finn?

[ Monitor beeping faster ] Finn?

[ Finn moans ]

Finn: You’re… ho– hospital… what?

Sheila: No baby. No, you’re– you’re not in the hospital anymore. You’re here with me. I’m– I’m taking care of you.

Finn: Steffy? Where’s– where’s– where’s steffy? Hey, it’s me…your skin.

Hope: And the whole paris and carter thing. I mean that always felt a little off, right? I mean, I– I really wanted to try to be a happy, supportive friend. But that engagement and that wedding, it was all so fast. And then, to hear quinn at the ceremony, it– it was clear that carter had been denying his true feelings for her.

Liam: Yeah. I mean, I– I’ve found that doesn’t work out too often.

Hope: Well, thankfully, it was quinn who was the uninvited guest at the wedding instead of someone else, like sheila carter.

Liam: I know.

Hope: I’m so thankful to ridge that he got that extra security for the venue and for here at the property.

Liam: Yeah, and I bet your mom is, too. I, um– I was actually thinking, uh, maybe she’d appreciate us ofring to, like, move up to the main house, just– just so that we’re closer. Do you think she’d– what? What?

Hope: You’re just a really thoughtful, sweet, caring–

Liam: Oh.

Hope: — Attentive husband.

Liam: Thanks.

Hope: Uh, but I already asked my mom that.

Liam: Ah.

Hope: And she insisted that we–

Liam: No.

Hope: — Should not interrupt our life here at the cabin. But I am worried about her, though. I’m worried about if ridge will ever make up his mind. And decide if she wants to commit to her fully.

[ Spoon clinking ]

Ridge: Hey. Maybe sheila left town.

Taylor: Maybe. Maybe the jerk that helped her escape found a hiding place for her right here. Maybe she’s– she’s right under our noses. Hmm? My god, ridge, ri– wha– what if– what if sheila found out where steffy is? What if– what if she got on a plane and she’s actually headed there right now?

Ridge: She can’t get on a plane. She can’T. She’s got no passport, no I.D. No credit cards.

Taylor: Okay. We also didn’t think that sheila could escape from jail, but here we are.

Ridge: Okay. Let’s take a breath. And let’s try to remember what motivates sheila. All she wanted– all she ever wanted was to be part of finn’s life.

Taylor: Finn’s life. Isn’t that ironic? She took it from him. She killed her own son. What is she going to do next?

Sheila: Yeah, well, we– we need to manage your pain and– and you need to get some rest.

Finn: Where– where– where’s– where’s–

Sheila: Steffy– steffy and hayes, they’re– they’re– they’re fine. They’re– they’re fine.

Finn: They’re not– they’re not he–here. They’re not here.

Sheila: I told you already. I told you already. Steffy and– and the kids, they’re traveling. There’s nothing– you don’t need to worry about them, okay? What you need to focus on right now is yourself and getting your strength back.

Finn: But where’s–

Sheila: Oh, finn. Finn, baby. I– I almost lost you, a few times. And now that you’re back, I– I am not going to lose you again. Do– do you understand that? This– this is a miracle. This is miracle. You just–

Finn: Wait–

Sheila: Honey, I just want you to rest and relax. You know, it takes so much strength just for you to wake up, and you don’t need to be stressed or upset about anything because I’m right here.

Finn: What happened? What– wha– wha– what happened?

Sheila: Please, you just want to rest. Just rest. You don’t– you don’t need to be upset.

Finn: Where– what happ– what did– what– oh!

[ Finn moans ]

Sheila: Okay. The reason that you’re in this condition… is because you were shot. And I’m so, so very sorry… you were shot.

If you have this…

Hope: I am really trying to not judge ridge for deciding to stay at eric’s, when my mom asked my dad to stay away for ridge’s benefit. And–

Liam: Yeah. I mean, ridge did effectively ban your dad from the property.

Hope: Well, yeah. I mean, we can see deacon, just not here. I don’t know. I guess it’s not really about my dad. It’s just my mom has been fighting for her marriage to ridge. And what else does she have to do? What does she need to do to get ridge to come home?

Ridge: We just got to talk to steffy. She’s good. Kids are good. Let’s focus on that. She– she knows that sheila’s on the loose. She knows to be careful.

Ridge: They have security. They’re going to be fine.

[ Phone beeps ]

Taylor: Okay. That might be something about sheila. Maybe they found her. I–

Ridge: Nope. It’s work. But you know what? I really need to get back to brooke. I got to check on her.

Taylor: Of course. Of course. They’re going to find her.

[ Text sent sound ] Sheila’s going to slip up. She always does.

Taylor: She always does. God, I– I– she played me for such a fool. I– I– I don’t know what I was thinking. Wha– I wasn’t thinking, that’s what it was–

Ridge: Hey–

Taylor: And ridge, please don’t tell me that it’s going to be okay because it’s not. Okay? I– I should have known she was playing me for a fool, and– and I didn’T. She killed her own son. She watched him take his last breath. She tried to murder our daughter. She lied, ridge. She just… I wish I never would have been up on the rooftop that day. The world would be a better place.

Finn: Sh– sh– shot? No.

Sheila: You have been– you’ve been so strong and so brave. You wouldn’t give up. Like I said, I thought that I– I lost you. But I didn’T. You came back. You’ve got so much to live for.

Finn: Hospital… you need the hos–

Sheila: No.

Finn: The hospital.

>>Shelia: No, I can’T. I can’t take you there. You seem to forget I’m– I’m a trained nurse. And you have had incredible care.

Finn: No… up to this point. And now it’s– it’s up to me to take care of you. And I am going to do everything in my power to help you. And to get you back to that incredible man you were before the accident.

Finn: Wait. A– accident? Accident?

Sheila: Yes. The shooting. It was a terrible… accident. You never should have been shot. And I’m sorry.

Finn: Il giardino.

Why won’t you text me back?

Steffy: Brooke’s new year’s

eve? That was all set in motion

by your mother.

[ Echoing ] Mother, mother,

mother, mother.

Brooke: Oh… oh, god.

[ Flickering ] Hello?

[ Latch clicking ] Oh, my… oh, god, ridge! Oh, my god.

Ridge: What are you doing? I just talked to security that said the whole neighborhood lost power. And what do you–

Brooke: Oh. I was–

Ridge: What’s going on? You– what happened to your foot?

Brooke: I went up the stairs and I– I– I tripped going up the stairs. Who does that? It’s ridiculous.

Ridge: Well–

Brooke: Now I– I can’t put weight on it.

Ridge: All right, let me look at it.

Brooke: No, don’t touch it.

Ridge: Well, someone’s going to have to touch it and look at it. What– how– you’re right. How do you fall up the stairs? Who does that?

Brooke: I don’t know, I don’t know. I– I’ve just been really jumpy. And then the lights went out and somebody was at the door. And you scared me. God.

Ridge: I–I didn’T. I’m– I’m sorry. I texted you before i came over.

Brooke: Okay. I don’t know where the phone is. It’s probably on silent somewhere.

Ridge: So, I have security outside. You have liam and hope down there and you– you don’t have your phone on you? You left your phone? Can you have your phone with you, please?

Brooke: Yeah. Okay. I–

Ridge: Thank you.

Brooke: Just glad it was you.

Ridge: Me, too.

[ Brooke sighs ]

Ridge: Sheila is running around out there somewhere, but we’ll find her.

Brooke: Okay.

Ridge: We’ll put her away. But the first thing we’re going to do, if you don’t mind, is put some ice on this.

Brooke: No– yeah, no, that’s a good idea. Ice, please.

Ridge: Okay.

[ Heart rate monitor beeping ]

Finn: Sor– sorry? Sorry?

Sheila: I wasn’t supposed to. I… finn, I love you so very much. And it’s been hell, since the shooting. I, uh… I don’t want to cause you any upset or anything like that, but–

[ Finn moans ]

Sheila: Do you remember that night? What happened?

[ Gunshot ]

Sheila: Baby, I– I need you to look at me. Just look at me, okay?

Finn: You.

Sheila: I– I am so sorry.

Finn: It was you. It was you.

Sheila: You know how sorry I am. You see that, don’t you?

Finn: You… you– you shot me.

Sheila: It wasn’t– it wasn’t– wasn’t meant–

Finn: One… my mother… ughh!

Adam: Huh? Nikki. Thought you’d still be on that call with the hong kong office.

Nikki: Well, I wrapped it up quickly so I could be here in time for victoria’s return. Do you know if she and victor are on their way back from the airport yet?

Adam: Um… I’m sorry. But this is the first I’ve heard about victoria’s big homecoming taking place right here. Guess that’s very telling, isn’t it?

Nikki: I don’t know what you mean by that.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Well, both the location and the fact that I was not informed says a lot.

Nikki: Nobody is intentionally keeping anything from you, if that’s what you’re implying.

Adam: Alright, well, then tell me what you know.

Nikki: My daughter is returning home. That’s all I’ve heard. What do you expect?

Adam: I just thought you might have an idea of what my future might be… since, apparently, victoria is coming home to roost.

Billy: Hey, vick, it’s me. Listen, [Sighs] I’m just calling to make sure that you’re alright. I ran into your family, and it’s pretty clear that they are keeping a secret about you. So can you just let me know that — that you’re okay? Please, call, text, do whatever. Just checking in. Thanks.

[ Sighs ]

[ Knock on door ]

Nick: Vick, I was so happy to get your message. Of course, I’ll meet you anywhere, but why here? Why in a hotel? What’s going on? What’s the big mystery?

Victoria: [ Chuckles ]

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Elena: Nate? What are you doing here? Thought I texted you everything — my flight, my hotel, my itinerary. Did I miss anything?

Nate: No. I got it all. I just… came home to say “aloha.”

Elena: Wow. You know, “aloha” means both “hello” and “goodbye.”

Nate: I think it’s also a way of expressing affection, compassion, love, all of which I’m feeling for you right now.

Elena: And I feel the same way about you. Especially right now, the way you’re looking at me.

Nate: [ Chuckles ]

Elena: But I have a flight to catch.

Nate: That’s why i double-checked the itinerary you sent me, and by my calculations, I came home just in time for a more meaningful goodbye.

[ Chuckles ]

Nate: [ Clears throat ]

Elena: [ Chuckles ]

Chance: Hello, man.

Devon: Oh.

Chance: How you doing?

Devon: It’s good to see you.

Chance: Yeah, you too. Guess we had the same idea about how to spend this beautiful summer day.

Devon: I know, it’s too nice to not be outside. How have you been, though? You seem like you’re doing a lot better with yourself these days.

Chance: Yeah. I’ll tell you what. Why don’t you race me around this park? If you beat me, I’ll tell you. A deal?

Devon: Race you.

Chance: Okay?

Devon: Okay, sure.

Chance: Come on.

Devon: [ Grunts ]

[ Indistinct conversation ]

Lily: Hey. Sorry if I kept you guys waiting.

Amanda: Hey. No, no, not at all. We actually just got here ourselves.

Lily: Oh, good. Okay. Oh, I know you’ve been seeing your mom a lot. How is she doing?

Imani: I just got back from seeing her for the first time since she had her stroke. She’s still struggling with her speech and mobility.

Amanda: Yeah, but we’re not just worried about her physical state. We’re also worried about her psychological state. You know, seeing her in that hospital bed, just stuck there.

Imani: But it definitely seems to lift her spirits when one of us comes to visit.

Lily: Yeah, I’m sure. I’m sure she loves having you both there. And look, if you ever want to take time off to go see her, please feel free, because, honestly, family comes first.

Imani: Thanks, lily.

Amanda: Thank you so much. We really appreciate it.

Lily: Yeah, of course.

Abby: Hello, ladies.

Lily: Hello.

Amanda: Hello.

Abby: Chancellor-winters must be flying high after that successful launch party. You must be pleased with the way it all turned out.

Amanda: We could not have done it without you. You stepped in seamlessly for phyllis. Didn’t miss a beat.

Abby: Well, it felt good being back in the saddle. You know, hosting a big event like that, I didn’t realize how much I missed it.

Lily: Oh, I meant to ask you, whatever happened to you opening a hotel across from the grand phoenix?

Abby: Oh, it’s a long story.

Lily: Okay, well, I’m definitely up for hearing it, ’cause I’m considering a similar plan of my own. Kids can change minds…

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Nate: Aloha, baby.

Abby: Opening a hotel across from the grand phoenix seemed like a great idea, but there were just so many issues with it, I had to give up on the whole thing.

Lily: Oh, let me guess. Was phyllis part of the problem?

Abby: Let’s just say that she was the problem.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: She fought me tooth and nail from the very beginning.

Amanda: She just didn’t like the idea of a competing hotel in such close proximity.

Abby: Oh, and you know phyllis. She just had to take it to the extreme.

Amanda: Okay, I guess that can be phyllis’ style. But what were you thinking?

Lily: Uh, well, I just wanted to revisit the idea of bringing another hotel to town.

Amanda: Really? Why?

Lily: Well, ’cause, you know, devon sold the athletic club, and I thought we’d need a place to have visiting talent stay. So then I thought, you know, we could also have corporate conferences or events, even concerts to showcase our talent.

Imani: Hmm.

Lily: I don’t know, maybe i could build an even grander phoenix in genoa city.

[ Light laughter ]

Nikki: Adam, I assure you, i know nothing about what victoria is planning once she returns home. I have not been in contact with her since she left. I don’t even know if she’s coming home for good.

Adam: Well, I double-checked with the pilot for the newman jet, and victoria was definitely the only passenger on board. And there are no plans to have a return flight, pick up ashland, or fly victoria back.

Nikki: Well, I wish that were concrete proof that she is completely done with him, but I’m not gonna let myself believe that until I hear it come out of her mouth. I mean, for all I know, she’s just coming back here to chew out her father for blocking her new business venture with ashland.

Adam: Wait a minute. Dad blocked her new business venture?

[ Sighs, chuckles ] W-was there anything that dad didn’t do to pave the way for victoria’s glorious return?

Victoria: Oh, missed you, too.

[ Sighs ] I would have met you at the house, but I’m having it deep-cleaned before I move back in, to symbolically remove any remnants of ashland.

Nick: Wow. I like hearing that. But how about some answers? I mean, can you tell me what is going on? And why wouldn’t you want me to tell mom and dad? I mean, you do know they know you got on the airplane, right? I mean, dad — well, dad’s dad. He’s got his finger on the pulse of everything. He was even planning on surprising you at the airport.

Victoria: But I’m sure my flight got in early, so he’ll just have to wait to see me. But he won’t have to wait that long. I texted you because I wanted to have a minute alone with you first.

Nick: You’re upset with me because I betrayed your confidence?

Victoria: No. No, nick. What I want is to… thank you.

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: How does it feel to be so completely wrong about me? To be bested and stripped of all of your ill-gotten gains?

Ashland: You do understand you’ve just committed fraud?

Victoria: Go ahead. I dare you. I dare you to try to accuse me of anything. I will let the world know exactly what you are capable of and the levels to which you will stoop. I have proof to back it up, and I can destroy your life with one phone call. And the satisfaction of crushing you the way that you tried to crush me, that’s mine, too, leaving you with nothing but what you had before you masqueraded your way into my life and tricked me into loving you.

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: [ Sighs ] You know what? Actually, it’s even less

[Chuckles] Because your company has been absorbed into newman enterprises. Your name and your presence are completely wiped from the building. And you are now what you always should have been — nothing. No one.

Ashland: I loved you with all my heart and soul.

Victoria: I could have predicted that you would say that, too. Only now I know, you have neither.

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

Chance: Whoo-hoo-hoo hoo-hoo-hoo! Whew!

Devon: Oh! I almost got ya.

Chance: [ Gasps ] Almost?

Devon: I did. I almost got you.

Chance: Almost isn’t enough, man. A win’s a win.

Devon: Oh, man. Hey, you have home-field advantage, is the problem.

Chance: Home-field advantage? How do you figure that?

Devon: Well, you’re a chancellor, and your name is on the sign, so…

[ Chuckles ]

Chance: It’s your grandmother.

Devon: Yeah. [ Chuckles ]

Chance: You know what? Even though I did win, I’ll go ahead and tell you. Even though I did win by a lot.

Devon: You should have won by a lot. You should beat me. You’re a trained government agent. I’d be worried if you didn’T. But I do want to know, how have you been? I do.

Chance: Yeah, things are actually pretty good right now.

Devon: Yeah?

Chance: They are.

Devon: Good.

Chance: Obviously, losing rey was a big blow. Thought that was really gonna drag me down, but just channeling all that grief into doing something for the greater good, try to honor his legacy.

Devon: What did you do?

Chance: I closed about 80% of his open cases.

Devon: Get outta here. That’s fantastic, man. Congratulations on doing that.

Chance: Thank you, thank you.

Devon: Wow. I’m sure he’s looking down on you, smiling.

Chance: [ Chuckling ] Yeah. Yeah, I definitely feel the positive energy, you know?

Devon: Yeah.

Chance: Got abby and dom at home right now. Couldn’t ask for more.

Devon: I hear ya. I do. I’m very impressed with how you’ve gotten yourself through everything, ’cause it really seems like you got your head in a much better place.

Chance: Thanks, brother.

Devon: Yeah.

Chance: You know what? You’re due some credit, as well. Really. Your support had a positive impact, and even if abby and i couldn’t see it at the time, it helped.

Devon: Well, I — i appreciate you saying that. I do, but I also know that i played a bit of a part in what you were going through, just ’cause I made things a bit messier than they needed to be, when it came to dominic, and i could have handled things a lot differently, so…

Chance: You know what, man? We all just wanted what was best for dominic. All that matters now is that everything worked out. Hmm?

Devon: Thanks, dude.

Lily: Wouldn’t it be great? I think chancellor-winters could bring this ultra-modern state-of-the-art hotel to genoa city. And my half of the company always wanted to bring, like, a posh, swanky hotel to town. And this could be a place that we could accommodate our artists.

Abby: Something bigger than the grand phoenix?

Lily: Well, I mean, that would actually fit the bill, except for the phyllis factor. You know, dealing with her could be a potential headache, not to mention it would cut into our profits.

Amanda: Well, I do think that a chancellor-winters hotel is a great idea.

Imani: And an exciting one.

Amanda: Yeah.

Abby: I still regret giving up the grand phoenix to phyllis.

Lily: Well, we could save ourself a lot of headache and permits for construction if we get her to sell.

Abby: [ Gasps ] That would be great — sweet justice.

Amanda: I highly doubt that phyllis is going to sell the hotel. She has put so much work into that place.

Lily: Well, look, it’s just a thought. But, I mean, if we do end up building our own hotel, I have no problem going head-to-head with phyllis.

Nate: [ Sighs ] You just made it really hard for me to say goodbye…

Elena: [ Chuckles ]

Nate: …Even if it’s just for a few days.

Elena: You’re the one who made it more difficult, coming in here like that and knowing I had to be at the airport.

Nate: You got plenty of time to make that flight.

Elena: Oh? Well, you know, there’s still room in my bag if you change your mind and want to be my stowaway.

Nate: You don’t know how tempted I am at that offer, but

[Sighs] Really can’t leave work right now.

Elena: Bummer. Well, I understand. I hope I’m not forgetting anything.

Nate: Well, I hope there’s one thing you don’t forget while you’re at that conference, shining like a star, is how much I love you and will miss you every second you’re gone.

Elena: Mmm. I’m gonna miss you, too. But I’m gonna send you lots of updates, and I’m gonna bring you some sand from beautiful hawaii.

Nate: And I promise, the next trip you take is gonna be a full-on vacation. No work, no distractions.

Elena: Mmm.

Nate: Just fun, sun, away, and play.

Elena: I like the sound of that.

Nate: Come, let me take you to the airport.

Elena: Nope, I already called a car. It should be here soon. Plus, you need to get back to work. Besides, I like leaving you wanting more.

Nate: Hmm.

Elena: Mmm, mmm. Go.

Nate: [ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

Elena: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: And you want to thank me? I’m relieved you’re not upset, but I don’t know what I did to deserve that kind of gratitude.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] You know you were the only member of the family who came to me, after I announced that I was leaving, with no judgment, no reprimands, and just love.

Nick: Well, I’m glad you realize how sincere I was. I mean, I didn’t like, at all, what you were doing. But you’re your own woman, and that was your choice to make. It was very hard for dad to accept, because it contradicted what he wanted.

Victoria: I’m well aware of that.

Nick: Well, since we’re in such a great place, how about some answers, then? I mean, why’d you come back? What happened in new york?

Ashland: Yeah, I-I understand the transfer was approved. I’m just asking you now if there’s any way to get my money back. No, I understand.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] Okay everyone,

Amanda: [ Sighs ]

Devon: Hey, you.

Amanda: Hey. How was your afternoon?

Devon: Oh, it was good.

Amanda: Yeah?

Devon: Went for a little run at the park.

Amanda: Yeah?

Devon: Ran into chance. We had a pretty good conversation. Hey. Are you okay? Is everything alright with your mom?

Amanda: [ Sobs ] It’s hard.

Devon: I know.

Amanda: Seeing her in the hospital bed. She can’t talk.

[ Sobbing ]

Devon: I’m sorry.

Amanda: [ Sighs ]

Devon: Was having your sister with you — did that help you at all?

Amanda: Yeah. And naya loved seeing her. And having someone else there was comforting.

[ Sighs ] I don’t know. I’m kind of worried about my sister, too.

Devon: Yeah?

Amanda: Because she’s putting on this brave face, and I get it ’cause I’m doing it, too, but I don’t know — I don’t know if it’s because she’s trying to be brave in front of our mother, she doesn’t want her to see how worried she is, or she just can’t or won’t accept the sad truth. Someday her walls are gonna have to come down, and..

Devon: Well, you’re gonna be there for imani when they do. Right?

Amanda: [ Sighs ] Sorry.

[ Sobs ]

[ Sighs ] It’s just — it’s really — it’s really frustrating, you know? Because as a lawyer, if you are competent, if you’re prepared, then things usually go the way that you expect it. But in your personal life, there’s just things that you can’t control.

Devon: Well…

Amanda: And I just — i hate it.

Devon: Oh.

Amanda: [ Sobbing ]

Devon: It’s okay.

[ Smooching ] It’s okay.

Lily: Oh, hello.

Chance: Hi.

Lily: Good to see you,

Chance: Good to see you.

Abby: Well, this is a nice surprise. I thought you were working.

Chance: Well, I racked up so much overtime lately, thought I’d take the day off.

Abby: Well, what are you gonna do with all your unexpected free time?

Chance: I hung out with dom for a little bit, got some solid father-son time in, went for a run, saw devon. And now I was hoping I could hang out with my beautiful wife.

Lily: Aww. Sweet. Um, okay, I’m gonna go back to work.

[ Chuckles ] Good to see you.

Chance: Good to see you.

Lily: Bye.

Abby: Why do I feel like my wonderful husband is up to something?

Chance: Oh, because I am. I know I’ve been working so much lately, I’m afraid I’ve been kind of neglecting you.

Abby: No, you haven’T.

Chance: Yes, I have. And you’ve been a good sport about it. I appreciate that. And I’m guessing you’re not too happy about it. So, think you can ditch work for a little while? Got a surprise for you.

Abby: Mmm.

Nikki: Victor isn’t paving the way for anyone. He simply wanted to make sure that she didn’t get in any deeper with ashland, in business or anything else. This was not a calculated move against you. He’s simply trying to protect his daughter.

Adam: Oh, yes. All that famous victor newman protection. Isn’t that why my sister left town in the first place?

Nikki: You know, I don’t want to get into any of this with you right now.

Adam: Okay. I would be glad to drop the subject. Perhaps you could bring me up to speed on the hong kong deal.

Nikki: Sure. Everything things to be on track and we can probably close it.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Adam: Great.

[ Sighs ] What is it?

Nikki: It’s a text from victor. “Plane landed early. Victoria already gone. Have you heard from her?”

[ Sighs ] What on earth is she up to?

Nick: I mean, let’s start with ashland. Where is he? Don’t get me wrong. I respect your right to make your own choices, but I’m sure hoping you kicked his ass to a park avenue curb.

Victoria: I will explain everything soon, but, first, i need you to do me a big favor. I need you to get mom and dad to meet me at the office as soon as possible.

Nick: You mean, adam’s new office.

Victoria: Yes. And I would like for you to ask him to be there, as well. He needs to hear this. I’m sure it’s not gonna be that big of an imposition on him, because he’s probably already sleeping there.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Funny.

Victoria: Thank you. I’ll be there soon. I’m just gonna get freshened up first.

Nick: Yeah, uh, cool. Um, before I go, will you just promise me that you’re back for good?

Victoria: I am. But things are gonna have to change. Only two things are forever:

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Imani: Thank you. Hey.

Nate: Hey.

Imani: How’s it going?

Nate: Um, can’t complain. I know you were going to see your mom today. How is she doing?

Imani: Unfortunately, things aren’t great.

Nate: Oh, sorry to hear that.

Imani: I’m trying not to dwell on it too much, so that i don’t become a total mess. I’ve been focusing on my work so I won’t have time to obsess over my mother’s condition.

Nate: Yeah, I get it. I’ve found solace in work during stressful times myself. Anything you want to run by me?

Imani: I’m glad you asked. There is something I wanted to follow up on.

Nate: Okay, shoot.

Imani: [ Sighs ] I-I know you’ve been eager to get elena out of her newman contract so that she could start a chancellor-winters podcast. But, unfortunately, it looks like bringing her over to our side may be harder than i thought.

Nate: [ Sighs ]

Imani: [ Sighs ]

Abby: Look at this. It’s all of my favorite goodies. This is amazing.

Chance: Oh, that’s not all. Check it out. Look at our little man.

Abby: Oh! [ Laughs ] He is so adorable. I mean, he’s just perfect.

Chance: Yeah. I took that this morning after you left. Look at his little chunky arm waving at you.

Abby: [ Laughs ]

Chance: “Go have fun, mom and dad.”

Abby: Mmm, my boy.

Chance: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: Look, I love that you did all of this for me. But I really hope you don’t think you’ve been neglecting me, ’cause I really don’t feel that way at all. I am so proud of you for the way that you have been honoring rey’s memory. It’s thoughtful and it is exactly what rey would have wanted. In fact, your dedication to your partner makes me love you even more.

Chance: Oh. Well, if that makes you love me even more, wait till you see what’s for dessert.

Abby: Oh, I can’t wait.

Chance: [ Chuckles ] Mmm.

Victoria: I gather that this hasn’t penetrated for you, because you’ve come to see me as someone that you can still manipulate, someone who thinks they can’t live their life without you. Well, guess what? I’m looking forward to it. And as to what you should do, I don’t care. Disappear. We’re through. I don’t want to see you or hear from you ever again.

[ Sighs ] Billy?

Billy: Victoria. Hey. Um, listen, is everything alright?

Victoria: I’m — [ Sighs ] I’m better than alright. I’m actually better than I have been in a long time. I have taken a huge step forward in my life. And there’s no looking back now. My asthma felt anything but normal.

Amanda: [ Sighs ]

Devon: You got to believe me that I know… what you’re going through. There’s been so many times in my life that I’ve wished I could control things that I can’T. I’ve lost a lot of people in my life. You know that.

Amanda: [ Sighs ]

Devon: From dru and neil and hilary, our child. It’s a lot.

Amanda: So much sadness. I’m sorry.

Devon: It’s — there’s nothing for you to be sorry about. It is, but there’s times where truly all you can do is just your best to get through it. And if imani wants to act tough and she wants to act like what your mom is going through isn’t bothering her, that’s fine. She can do that. You don’t have to, though. You never have to do that, ’cause you have me. You have me to lean on. You have me to cry to and to vent to. And that’s forever. ‘Cause we’re not just living together. We’re building a life together. Right?

Amanda: [ Sighs ] You have — you’ve given me an emotional security that I’ve never had before. And it feels comforting, and it feels empowering, but… it also feels really scary.

Devon: Why?

Amanda: Because… it just — it feels so fragile. And I’m scared that it might go away, and then I’m just gonna be alone.

Devon: Mnh-mnh, mnh-mnh. Stop it. Stop it. Listen to me.

Amanda: [ Sighs ]

Devon: You feel that, right? As long as that’s beating, you will never be alone again. Promise you.

Imani: Elena’s contract with newman media is airtight. It’s not gonna be easy getting her out of it.

Nate: [ Sighs ] I really hate that legal red tape could keep her from joining our team.

Imani: I know you put a clock on this. When is elena heading to hawaii?

Nate: Oh, she’s probably boarding her flight right about now.

Imani: Well, with elena gone, I guess we’ll just have to work together to figure this out.

Nate: Thank you for staying on top of this for me. I really want elena to work with us, so counting on you to make that happen.

Imani: Of course.

Nate: Honestly, it’s more than just wanting to work with elena again. I’ve really got to do everything I can to fulfill the promise I made at the launch party about the upcoming podcasts. Frankly, we don’t have the numbers I committed to yet.

Imani: Oh. I get it, and I’m glad you confided in me. I feel a little responsible, since I’m the one who encouraged you to go big when you made your speech, which makes me want to help you even more now. So we will work together and figure out a way to make your promise a reality.

Nate: My first thought is, maybe we need to meet with the new head of newman media — sally spectra. I prefer to take a personal approach.

Imani: So do I. I could set up a meeting, and i could even go with you and field any legal questions.

Nate: Good idea.

Imani: Okay, well, I’ll get on it.

Nate: Much appreciated.

Imani: Mm-hmm.

[ Sighs ] Yes, uh, I need a reservation for tomorrow night. For two.

Billy: Well, I’m happy to hear that you’re sounding so strong. I was getting a little worried, there.

Victoria: I’m sorry, I should have reached out earlier. Everything was just moving so quickly. But I wanted you to know that I’m back in town, and everything’s changed now. I’ll fill you in later. I’d like to talk to my family first. I’m actually meeting with them now.

Billy: Hey, vick, before you hang up, can I just ask… is ashland in the picture or not?

Victoria: You can breather easier. Ashland locke is finally out of my life for good.

Ashland: I need to charter a plane to chicago.

[ Sighs ] Yes. Today. For you I wish many things…

Abby: Ah. It’s a perfect day for a perfect surprise.

Chance: Well, only the best for my perfect wife.

Abby: Mmm.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Chance: Hold on. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

[ Sighs ]

Abby: I can tell by the look on your face that that’s work. And it’s important, isn’t it?

Chance: They just got a new tip on one of rey’s cases. Got to be dealt with immediately. But you know what? Somebody else can handle it.

Abby: No, no, you should go. This is your personal mission. You have to see it through.

Chance: What, and leave all this perfection? No.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Chance: Absolutely not. No way. Besides, the whole point of this was to spend uninterrupted time with you.

Abby: I know, but just the fact that you put all this together for me, it means so much. And besides, we have the rest of our lives to go on picnics together.

Chance: Are you sure?

Abby: Yes. Go. Go. [ Chuckles ]

Chance: I love you.

Abby: I love you.

Chance: Mmm.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Imani: [ Sighs ]

Nate: So, how’d it go? Any luck getting ms. Spectra to meet with us?

Imani: I charmed her assistant, got her to put me through to the woman herself.

Nate: Nice.

Imani: I even managed to get her to join us for dinner tomorrow. I made reservations for the three of us. Time for us to work some magic.

Lily: Oh, hey, I’m glad you’re back. So, I had a very interesting conversation with abby.

Billy: Hold that thought for one second, because I had a very interesting conversation with victoria. She is back in genoa city.

Lily: So, did she dump ashland?

Billy: Apparently, yeah. And to be honest, I had no idea just how much this was weighing on me. I really did not want to have the conversation with the kids where I explain to them why their mother suddenly left town.

Lily: Yeah. No, I mean, it’s good they don’t have to go through that.

Billy: It’s great. To be honest, I feel very inspired. I think now is the time to lighten up my podcasts a little bit and have a little fun. You know, I could talk about how we have to trust the people that we surround ourselves with, and have faith in the process.

Lily: Yeah, I don’t think the disastrous end to a dramatic relationship is cause for celebration.

Billy: I hear you, and i wouldn’t exactly say it that way. I would turn it around — “a dramatic end to a disastrous relationship,” because that — that is inspiring… because it’s over. It’s done. Victoria is back… where she belongs.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] Did victoria tell you when she’d be here?

Nick: She said she wanted to freshen up. She’ll be here as fast as possible.

Victoria: Hello.

Nikki: [ Gasps ] Oh, my god! Oh, darling. I’m so happy to see you. I’ve been so worried. I didn’t know if I’d ever see you again.

Victoria: I missed you so much. I couldn’t stand being away from you.

Nikki: I mean, I’d never seen you so that way. You were seemingly willing to walk away from the family forever, and…

Victoria: I’m so sorry to put you through that, but I felt like it was the only way. I had to make my break from you all seem plausible to ashland.

Adam: So, it was all a scam? A trick? [ Sighs ] What have you done, victoria?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Gasps ] Oh, my goodness. Just — somebody pinch me so I know I’m not dreaming. Ow! That was kind of hard! Well, at least you know you’re not dreaming. Admit it — you are just as excited about all of this as I am. Are you kidding me? Getting to market deception products on “home & heart”? This show is like the holy grail for makeup sales. Right? I mean, enchanted cosmetics makes a killing every time they nab a time slot. Wait. Will we see erica kane? Oh, my god! I would just die! I would keel over. Not before we count our profits, which will be huge.

[ Laughs ] Well, that is, of course, if our beautiful face of deception is up to the task. Oh, you got this. Right, sasha? Absolutely. Let’s do this!

[ Laughs ] Come on. I’m glad I found you. We need to talk. Lately, every time we talk, my life goes sideways. I know. I’m sorry. But not anymore. Drum roll, please.

[ Hands drumming table ] Today is the day I change your life. Earth to cam. What is wrong with you? Wow. T-there’s nothing wrong. Why would there be anything wrong? Maybe because you keep saying the word “wrong”? -It’s just your whole vibe. -And your face. Okay. This is — this is how my face is. Lately. But it’s not your usual… open and honest “cam” face. And I have to wonder why. What am I doing here? Uh, looking for you, of course. Oh, well, you found me. Now what are you gonna do with me? Hey, now. Hey, now.

[ Muffled ] It’s almost impossible.

[ Laughter ] It’s still there! Dr. Westbourne! How, uh, serendipitous. I-I was hoping to avail myself of your counsel. You’re pregnant?

[ Laughs ] How have I never noticed how humorous you are? No, no, no. My — my problem is not, uh, physical. It is, in fact… romantic-al. I’m losing? Mm-hmm. No, no, no. Alright. I get another shot. -Ho, ho! No! -Another shot at redemption. I’m not — I’m not giving up the crown. You afraid? I’m gonna tell you right now. Your dad is just afraid that we’re making a scene. No. Well, we are, but it — yeah, it is kind of a classy restaurant. Wanna hear something, kid? Your dad wasn’t always so classy. He’s used to be a hell-raiser. Are you sure? Oh, yeah. Taught him everything I know. Nah. Oh. My assistant didn’t tell me I had…a visitor. May I help you? Well, that’s not gonna be necessary. But I can help you. I understand not wanting to take the money from the quartermaines, but, uh… what about your ex-husband? I would say he owes you a favor… or five hundred. Don’t say a word to sonny. Carly, he’s gonna find out. Great. Let him find out. But not right now. Hey, carly. Hey, olivia. Sonny. I’m gonna go… take care of that…thing.

[ Chuckles ] She beat it out of here real quick. What, she didn’t want to get caught in the crossfire? The crossfire? Or whatever bad news you’re gonna tell me.


My life doesn’t need changing.I just want it back. The life that I had, the one where I was a police detective. Look. I get it. Things look bad now, but being temporarily barred from working at the pcpd, it’s just that — it’s temporary. You will get your badge back. And until then, there are other ways to be productive. Like what? Like a career change.

[ Indistinct conversations ] Okay. The selection looks great, but they’ll have to be rearranged. We’ll segue from lipsticks to our cutting-edge lip plumper to the feline lash lift, and then we’ll probably go eyeshadow after that. Not gonna work. Can you move my 5:00 to 6:00? Absolutely. Great. Thank you, honey. Sure. Haven de havilland.

[ Chuckles ] Oh. Oh, my goodness. Okay. Deep breath. I have to tell you that you are absolutely my idol. Yeah, and I never miss a chance to watch your show. Oh, well, thank you. And — and I am a big fan of deception and the sales you’re about to rack up. And here’s the face of deception herself, sasha gilmore. Honey, it is an honor. The honor is all mine. Aww. Ladies, ladies, how about a few photos for the fans? All together. Now big smiles. Beautiful. More. Sasha told me she thought it would be good publicity for deception. Hey, sash, how about one of just you and haven? Oh, oh. Beautiful. Yeah. Okay. That’s enough for now. We’ll take more later. Okay. How about we get some of the queen on her throne? Oh, honey, I like the way you think. Okay. Wait. Is it just me or is there something just a little bit off about sasha? Britt: You’d get better romantic advice from an amoeba. May I draw on your experience, then? Uh, specifically your experience with society setups? The sermon at the pool didn’t tell you all you needed to know? Well, I mean, maxie told me that you received six months’ free service as a courtesy after your incident with the skydiver, so I… have you had no — no success since then? I’ve been busy washing my hair. Why have you not partaken? What’s the point? The society setups’ matches are either duds or no-shows. That’s unfortunate. I hoped maybe things had turned around for you. It might bode well for me. If you’re thinking of joining, don’T. Ah, it’s too late. Already scheduled for date number three with match number one. In fact, uh — yeah, here she is. Um… brandi.

[ Laughter ] Okay. Ma! Hey! Look. Stand up and meet my mother. This is cody. Ho, ho! The cody? Cody bell from camp? The one and only!

[ Laughs ] I can’t believe it. I’m so pleased to finally meet mama falconeri! Ah! Do you have any idea how many calls I got from their camp counselors about all the mischief these knuckleheads were getting into? Well, this guy’s apparently turned over a new leaf. Oh. Uh, trying to, at least. My mom is sick, and I have to take care of my brothers, I’m working two jobs, and I’m still getting creepy texts from randos about my sex life. So stop overthinking my “cam face.” Cam. I’m sorry. No. I — look. I’m sorry, alright? It could be worse, right? I’ll quit complaining. No. You weren’t complaining. You were just describing what’s going on with you. And I wish you’d do more of that, you know, instead of bottling it up. Trust me. You have no idea how much I’d like to unload. Well, why don’t you? Well, I was thinking that we could go for a picnic. Ugh. Don’t you remember? I hate ants. Let’s go back to the pool. We’ll go to the pool first. Alright? Start with joss. Promise to not leave me hanging? Yeah, I got your back. I promise. The pool scene is just so…bougie. Or we could fly to manhattan, get a suite, go out, or, um, you know… stay in. Tempting.

[ Chuckles ] Uh, but let’s enjoy what’s left of the sun, yeah? The pool it is. Donna’s fine. And everything else in your life is irrelevant to me? Those are the terms we agreed upon in our divorce. Alright. Well, if you reconsider, y-you know how to reach me. Drew, I don’t see you in these offices much since you took over for jax. Well, you run a tight ship. Profitable. I don’t like to micromanage when business is going well. Well, thank you. And yet you are here. To offer me some…”help”? You make my help sound like a different four-letter word. Well, you made it very, very clear in what you think of me, so it’s making me wonder if your help w-would actually be beneficial. Let’s leave carly and sonny out of this, okay? This is not personal. This is just business. Yeah, but I’m hearing that your business isn’t exactly booming these days after the aurora/elq merger that didn’t happen. Valentin did get ahead of me and michael, yes. And so what does that mean for your future? The stock is gonna recover eventually. So will aurora. Maybe even faster with a — with a change at the top.


So you’re stepping down from aurora? No. No. The shareholders aren’t very happy with me, so I do have to make some moves to placate them. And is your first move to replace me at crimson? I have no intention of replacing you, nina. I do intend to offload crimson. The shareholders will respond very positively to the sudden cash infusion from selling the magazine. Alright. Well, good luck to you, drew. But please communicate to the future purchasers that my contract guarantees that I have independence. I can run this magazine however I see fit. We can avoid that issue altogether, nina… if you buy crimson yourself. No worries. No worries. I’m not gonna take your picture. It wouldn’t be the most flattering. What do you want, felty? I was about to ask you the same question. Need more pills? I’m good! Are you sure? It’s gonna be a long day! Oh. There you are! I assume you got my script notes. Start with lipstick and then — now, just remember. Keep it personal. You know, you’re giving our viewers a confidential glimpse into your life. Make them feel like they’re in the know. Lucy: Yes. Oh, but, uh, don’t get so specific. You lose your appeal. No. And keep it warm but not too effusive. You know, you got to maintain your credibility. Just give the viewers something to aspire to. But don’t come off as conceited. Oh! Oh, oh. No, no, no, no, no. Our sasha is never, ever conceited. No, no. You’ve got this. Right, sasha? Uh — right! Of course! Good! Just remember what erica kane always says. Yes! “Remember to have fun!” “And sell, sell, sell!”

[ Laughter ] Right. And we’re on in 15. So just take deep breaths. And don’t smear your lipstick. Lucy, let’s go over those products one final time. Yes, your majesty. Oh. Okay. How are you doing? -I’m good. -I want pictures of this… maybe a little dry. Okay. I’ll find you some water. Okay. Need a boost? Why can’t you unload like you want to? I mean, you know I’m not gonna judge. It’s just that, um… some people have it harder than me. Like me? Don’t go there, webber. I don’t have a monopoly on problems. You don’t have to be strong or silent on my account. Is just “strong” okay? I’m fine with that. Incoming. Esme: Well, isn’t that sweet! One last hurrah before the trial of the century. So, sam told me you might be sticking around. I might be. Yeah. Um… your son has a couch with my name on it… ah. …Just until I get some gainful employment. Ah, you can stay as long as you want. We got plenty of room. Yeah, dante told me that you really have a way with horses. This guy wants to own his own ranch. Really? Well, you know, my family happens to be looking for a new overseer for our stables. Um, I would love to hear more about that, I promise.

[ Chuckles ] I’m not trying to be rude, but I have to go check on something real quick. Oh. If you’ll excuse me. Britt: This is brandi? You found her on society setups? Well, society setups found us. But, um, I mean, it’s probably too good to be true. I mean, if they can’t find a match for someone as eligible as you, I mean, what kind of success can I truly hope to achieve? Cody: Ahh. Take heart. There’s hope for all of us. Even the hardest of hard-luck cases. I burnt through my savings during my last suspension. You know I thought I aged out of ramen when I turned 25? There’s an age limit for ramen? I guess I could go into private security. You would look hot in a full black suit with one of those earpieces. But I can’t see you turning the other way when your billionaire boss does something shady. Okay, then what? Become a P.I.? Drive around pcu in a golf cart busting underage keggers? I didn’t say job change. I said career change. Look, you are qualified for way more than “cop without a badge” work. Okay? You’ve got assets. Assets? Whoa. No, no, no. I’m not doing a magic milo act. I’m not referring to your body. I’m referring to your voice.


Glass of the house white?

[ Sighs ] Oh, man. Hey, joss, let me get you a fresh drink. Anyone want anything? No? Okay. Great. No trouble while I’m gone. Remember, people come here not for drama but for a diversion. I hear ya. Um, if it’ll make you happy, I’ll move to the other side of the pool. To take a break from your constant puppy-dog eyes at spencer. No drama. Oh, trina sees right through your boyfriend as if he’s not even there. Don’t do this, joss. Meanwhile, you can’t seem to keep your hands to yourself. Did she tell you how she was all over officer cabrera the other day? What are you talking about? Oh, joss is just making up stories because it’s trina who’s into officer cabrera. Thing is, he’s just another guy who wants nothing to do with you. Ohh… hey. Hey. Mrs. Corinthos. I’m sorry. I mean, um — oh, that’s okay. That’s okay. How are you, cam? I’m doing okay. Yeah? How’s your mom? Have you been to shadybrook to visit her? Couple times, yeah. You know, actually, I noticed — I think you have some lipstick on your teeth. Oh! Well, gosh. We can’t have that. Thank you. [ Chuckles ] Josslyn: Uh, hey, you need to get your girlfriend under control. Josslyn, back off! The porno queen of pcu is in no position to judge anyone. What did you just call me? He called you the porno queen of pcu.

[ Grunts ] Oh! Damn it! I heard him the first time. Well, then hear this! You bitch!

[ Onlookers gasp ] The only bitch is you!

[ Screams ] You want to sell crimson and you want to sell it to me? You’ve got the institutional knowledge. You’ve got a great track record. I mean, you can take your chances with a new boss or you can buy it and you can be your own boss. So generous. Thank you for coming to me first. Nina, t-there is a deal to be made here. A deal that might be just too good to be true. Why do I have a feeling that there’s another angle? Ager. Good surprise or bad surprise? Good surprise, of course. But I thought you were backed up at the garage. Uh, I am, but I ran into michael this morning at the gym, and he told me about willow going to the hospital. And I just realized I can’t be away from you on your big day. I mean any day, really. Did michael say how willow was? I’m guessing much better because he was in a damn good mood. Yes. I need to order an ob consult for room 1001. Willow’s room? Sometimes I can’t help but envy you. Confirming to a woman that she’s pregnant has to be your favorite part of the job, right? Of course he was. Uh, what do you mean? Oh, uh, my touch-up. Um, wish me luck. I’ll tell you what. I’ll do you one better. Is it done? Everything is prepared as you required. Good man! Hardly. Alright. Come on. This payoff is gonna be powerball sized. I just need to be real cautious with my execution — stop. Stop. I need hear no more. Our business is concluded. Aw, spinelli, man. You hurt my feelings. Haven’t I been good to you? I’ve been keeping your secret. Yeah. It’s called extortion. Extortion? Extortion is more impactful when the party being extorted is innocent, which you’re anything but. Sorry I’m late, spinelli. Um… who’s your friend?


Come on, chase. Take your best shot. Tell me all the ways I’d be a horrible manager, how it would never work, blah, blah, blah. Actually, it’s the first sensible thing you’ve said. It is? If anyone can make me a star, it’s you. Okay. Come on. Reality, though. Picture me on a stage at some sleazy bar where peanuts stick to the ground with a paycheck that doesn’t pay my rent? That is the beauty of my plan. If this thing works, you will make bank quick… or at least enough to cover your expenses until you find out whether or not you’re gonna get your badge back. How are we gonna pull that off? You never have to set foot on a real stage, okay? All we have to do is present an aura of success, enough to attract a real manager, one who will pay through the roof for your contract, a manager like linc. You ripped my hair out! Hey, come closer, and I’ll rip out some more. I don’t think so! Spencer, you and your girlfriend get the hell out of here. You are banned from my hotel. Out! I took the liberty of drawing up a buyout in case you’re interested. Obviously, it’s just filled with a bunch of legal jargon, but the bottom line is, is if you buy crimson, you take control of the magazine… and your destiny, for that matter. But the only way this happens is fast, so have your lawyers take a look at it. Just don’t take too long. Nina in her office? I just left her. Yeah. Okay. Um… hold on just one sec. Um… carly told me about her situation with the stake in the hotel. I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out a way to keep her in business here. I can’t think of anything. I offered to float her a loan, but I can’t finance that without help from ned. Carly wouldn’t allow that anyway. Yeah, I learned that the hard way. So… any ideas you care to share? I have one that’s not necessarily a sure thing and i don’t care to share with you. Well. [ Chuckles ] Remind me never to play the market with my half of the metro court. Mm. This place is like a second home to me. It has literally kept me sane even through all the craziness with the quartermaines. Cannot imagine losing it. I’m sure carly feels the same way. Nina: Ahem! You forgot your briefcase. Yes! The products. I mean, the deception products. It’s, um — I know I saw them here somewhere. Uh, well, before you tell us about the deception products, why don’t you tell us how you happened to get involved with deception?

[ Mouthing words ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Beneath the face of deception is someone who is incredibly nervous. I can handle a photo shoot, no problem, but being here live in front of millions of viewers has thrown me. Believe me, I remember my first day on the set. I couldn’t stop clearing my throat.

[ Laughter ] So — ah! We have our first caller. Please. Rescue us from ourselves. Woman:

Hello? Uh, can you hear me?

[ Quietly ] Gladys? Yes, we can hear you. What would you like to say to sasha? Are you familiar with deception’s products?

Am I? [ Chuckles ] I’ve seen ms. Gilmore’s face in magazine ads. And now watching her on tv, she is gorgeous! I’d pay anything to look like her. Well, that is so nice of you to say. Ha! Ms. Gilmore, um… I’m not getting any younger. Can you tell me how the lip plumper works? I sure can! Deception’s lip plumper was designed by makeup specialists who understand the needs of a maturing woman. It is state-of-the-art. There is nothing even close to its effectiveness on the market. Now, this color, pink rose, is my personal favorite. Cody bell, I’d like to introduce you to my close, dear, and very personal friend, sonny corinthos. Perhaps you’ve heard of him. As in corinthos coffee? The one and only. I’m — I’m actually friends with your son dante. W-we went to summer camp, way back when. No kidding. Yeah, I got some old photos, if you ever want to take a look. Well, you know what? Maybe one night you and dante can come over for dinner and we can go through the album. I look forward to it. Yeah, well, dante knows how to get in touch with me. And — alright. Bye, spinelli.

[ Grunts ]

[ Softly ] Well played. You got game, kid. Mr. Corinthos. What kind of trouble are you in with this cody bell?


You talking about?There’s no trouble with cody. Yeah? This guy has nothing to do with this wardrobe upgrade? The fact that you’re spreading money around? That you’re hinting that you’re doing things and you don’t say what? He’s the — he’s the skydiver that fell into britt westbourne at the pool during the society — just answer the question, spinelli. You call me here for drinks, you introduce me to this guy, mr. Bell. You didn’t want him to know that we’re close? How bad is it? Oh, no. It’s — how bad is it?! It’s handled. There’s nothing — there’s nothing for you to worry about. If you don’t want to tell me, that’s your business, but my business is my name, and when you drop it… you need to explain why. I’m gonna take a rain check on those drinks. Think about it.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Hey, zelda, what’s up? I got it. I got it. Don’t worry about it. I’ll pay you back, man. You want to pay me back… get off your couch. I know. No, I was gonna say give rocco — hook him up with a horse-riding lesson. You know, maybe I could do better than just one lesson. Does that job your mom mentioned come with room and board? 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. Ah, so then the pcpd can arrest him. Oh, don’t be so conventional. Then we’ll blackmail him into relinquishing my songs. Well, not really. I-I mean — no, I know what you mean. You don’t want to help me at all. You want to help you! Thank you for your purchases, gladys. I hope you’ll enjoy them.

I know I will.

That’s why I bought

two of everything. And gladys isn’t the only one ordering deception’s products. We are in danger of running out. So, viewers, make those purchases while they’re still in stock.

[ Mouthing words ] Gladys will be excited. She’s finally getting a raise. Did I say hot?

[ Chuckles ] Oh, viewers, we have a surprise guest. Please welcome our star seller — flora gardens!

[ Chuckles ] Get on up here, honey.

[ Laughter ] Wait. This wasn’t in the script. Oh, flora, it’s wonderful to see you. Oh, lord. Oh, boy. Let’s see what sasha does with this. …Hour, but with deception products on sale, I couldn’t resist showing up early! Flora, are you up for a makeover? Oh, I couldn’T. Except…I really want to.

[ Laughter ] We should always start with a fresh canvas, which means “fresh glow for the face.” Ooh! It’s a mild cleanser that softens your skin and makes it receptive to all the natural ingredients… if you need more deception products, they’re in the stockroom. Thanks. But this is flora’s product. She has the next segment, and haven wants us to be ready. Oh, what does flora sell? A whole range of products. This one’s really sweet. See for yourself. Sasha: …Products from nature. Everything is free from chemicals. It’s hypoallergenic. I wasn’t aware that we had an appointment, olivia. Oh, I was here to see your assistant. Well, as you can see, my assistant isn’t here. She’s at lunch. So may i help you with something? From now on, your invoices for rent and business lunches will be coming from my office and not carly’S. So all payments should come to me. Anything for carly. Hm. Thanks. Hm. So, drew, now I know why you’re gonna sell crimson. Okay, nina, you got me. Why am I selling crimson? Because I think you want to cover carly’s bad bet on the merger. She stands to lose her half of the metro court? Why didn’t you just tell me? Because I knew you would have rejected me if I did. Unless… unless what? Unless saving carly is an opportunity that you just can’t pass up. What do you say?


Thanks for backing me, mom.-I wish I didn’t have to. You have to stay the hell away from spencer and esme. Okay — things are gonna get worse now that I’ve banned them from the hotel. Enough about them. There’s something else going on. What are you so stressed about? Ah. Life is stressful, okay? Life is stressful. And please just go home and cool down for me, please. That would make your mother really happy. But, mom — but nothing. Go. Let’s go before somebody pushes me in the pool.

[ Groans ] Wait. What happened to cam? Did you get it? Yeah, when esme wasn’t looking. Please tell me that stealing josslyn’s hair was worth it. Did you get a sample of carly’s dna while I was making a lifelong enemy of my oldest friend? I’m not proud of it…

[ Exhales sharply ] …But I told josslyn’s mom that she had lipstick on her teeth. So now we can use her saliva as the dna sample. I hope you’re right. This needs to fool esme into believing that I know who her biological mother is. Yeah, so we can save trina from prison. I’m still wet. Let’s go back to spoon island. I need dry clothes and a hot shower. Are you coming? You lead, I follow. Don’t you get it?! I’m trying to help you! And if you get your songs back from linc, what, that’s just an added bonus? Actually, it only occurred to me right now. That’s because it takes a detective to connect the dots! Too bad I may never be one again. Britt: Sure. Send me the profiles. Yes, zelda, I promise I will look them over. No promises beyond that, though. I just told zelda I would give it one more chance. Oh. One. Okay. I-I have a strong sense your luck is about to change. You psychic now? I’m not jesting, britt. I-I think this go-round with society setups will be the charm. You are gonna love the stables. The quartermaines take excellent care of the horses. You found a new home, bedding with horses. Sounds about right. Yeah, cody’s gonna run the quartermaine stables. And get a penny to his name. Still accident-prone and uncouth. But not broke. One improvement at a time.

[ Elevator button clicking rapidly ] Are you ready for the final results of flora’s makeover? Oh, yes! What do you say? Ta-da! Ooh! [ Gasps ] Ohh! How marvelous! Ha! We may have a problem. How can I repay you for making me look so beautiful?! Oh, flora, I’m sure you have a little token of your appreciation handy — maybe just a sneak peek at your upcoming sale? And I just happen to have it right here. Ooh! Viewers, sasha… I have a must-have gift for all you ladies out there who are expecting! A one-of-a-kind baby papoose! Isn’t it beautiful? It’s adorable. And soft cotton. Oh, my goodness. Naturally sourced, of course. It is so soft. And just so comfortable. Nina: Come in. Well, hi! I’m sorry I’m late. I was invited by spinelli to have some drinks, and I ran into carly. Well, I can’t imagine how that went. Sonny, she really did it this time, didn’t she? What did she do? Hey! Hey. Kick off your shoes. The water’s fine. What’s wrong? I did something, and… you’re not gonna like it.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Marlena: Nancy? Are you all right?

Nancy: Oh, yeah. It was a beautiful funeral, wasn’t it? You must just think I’m so silly falling apart like this.

Marlena: Not at all.

Nancy: I, um… I just keep thinking about my girls, chloe and joy, and how much we owe abigail. And now I’m never gonna be able to tell her how grateful I am.

Julie: Thank you for bringing us home, rafe.

Rafe: It was my pleasure.

Julie: Though I still feel guilty about leaving the wake so early–especially since we were hosting it.

Doug: Everyone will understand, honey. Although, I don’t think it was necessary to have two escorts home.

Ciara: Well, I wanted to see you guys home. Also, I wanted a moment to talk alone with the three of you. I have some news to share.

Julie: Ciara, darling, I can’t stand any more bad news today.

Doug: We don’t know that it’s gonna be bad news, honey.

Ciara: No, no, it’s not bad news–at least ben and I don’t think so. We’re leaving salem.

Julie: What?

Jan: How was abigail’s funeral? I’m so sorry you had to be there all alone. You know I would’ve been there with you if I could’ve.

Shawn: I wasn’t alone, jan. I was with my family. But I did just get some good news–I ran into dr. Goldfarb out in the hallway and he said little shawn has gained weight. Two ounces. And he’s been doing really well maintaining his body temperature and his oxygen levels. So that means we get to hold him.

Jan: Shawn, that’s the best news ever! Oh!

Orpheus: I didn’t mean to startle you, son. Still giving me the silent treatment, huh? I see. Okay, well… in that case, I’ll take my cards back.

Evan: I don’t care about your stupid cards.

Orpheus: Gotcha.

Evan: You’re unbelievable, you know that? This whole time you knew i was having a kid with jan spears and you kept that from me. What the hell would make you think I’d want to talk to you?

Orpheus: I’ve already explained it to you, son. It’s for your own good. I need something from, uh… from jan. And once I get it, we’ll be out of here. So, sue me. I was afraid that if you knew that she was having your kid you’d get too emotional and you wouldn’t be able to keep your mouth shut and play the game.

Evan: This isn’t a game. Zoe took my son, my first son, to the other side of the world. Something else you kept from me! And, yeah, you’re right, if i can’t be with david, I’d like to be a father to my other son. Because that’s what fathers are supposed to do, dad– take care of their sons!

Orpheus: And you will. And I’ll help you. Which I have, by not telling you. You’re welcome. Look. Now that, uh…now that the baby’s born, we don’t need jan spears. We just need to get something from her. One little thing. And, boy, let me tell you, once we get it…

[Shuffling cards] It’s gonna rock people’s worlds.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Ciara: Well, I was kind of hoping you guys would be happy for us.

Julie: Happy that you’re leaving salem?

Rafe: Yeah, and since when do you have a boat?

Ciara: Well, since mom just gave us one. And, yeah, and I was telling ben all about how mom and dad used to sail the world with shawn and how shawn and belle did the same thing with claire when she was a little girl. It’s kind of a family tradition at this point. And, I don’t know, we just thought we would keep the tradition going. I mean, you guys spent half your lives cruising around the world. You know exactly what I’m talking about. I mean, I’m pretty sure you’re the ones who started it.

Julie: No. No, we did not start it. Your father started it. He was in the merchant marines, he had a wanderlust. We’re from salem. We’ll always come back to salem.

Ciara: And so will we, grandma julie. I promise.

Clyde: So you’re just gonna take my baby grandson and sail away?

Ben: Dad, I know this is kind of out of the blue, but ciara and I really want to do this. And you’re upset.

Clyde: Well, how am i supposed to feel?

Ben: I know you’re just getting to know the baby and all, but–

Clyde: Well, that’s not the only reason I’m upset.

Evan: But you’re still not going to tell me what info jan has or what you’re planning to do with it?

Orpheus: Okay. But this stays between us. You got it? I mean it.

Evan: Yeah, of course.

Orpheus: Okay, sit down. Jan’s sidled up close to shawn, right? She’s gonna get the password– she’s gonna get the password to the salem pd mainframe and give it to me.

Evan: What does that get you?

Orpheus: Once my guys get into the system, we’ll have access to everything. The whole shebang. The da’s office, the mayor. I’ll be able to get my hands on files that not even the commish and detective brady himself can touch.

Evan: Well, tell me, what’s in the files?

Orpheus: Best you don’t know the details.

Evan: Here we go again.

Orpheus: All you need to know, boy, is that once I get what I need, we’ll both be out of here and you’ll be where you want to be. Where you ought to be. With your son.

Jan: Shawn, I’ve been dreaming of this moment since i first found out I was pregnant. Our son.

Nurse: Are you ready to hold him?

Jan: Are you kidding me? Oh. Hello. Hello, little shawn. I’m your– it’s me, mommy. Do you see how he’s looking at me? We can’t keep our eyes off each other. Ohh… and look, look, little one, daddy’s right here too. And daddy and mommy love you so much.

Shawn: Yeah, we do. As sensodyne scientists

Ciara: We are planning on taking the same route my parents did. First down the salem river, chicago, then up the st. Lawrence seaway. Yeah, and then ultimately out into the wide open sea, nothing but sky and the water. And our first stop is mom. She absolutely cannot wait to meet little bo.

Julie: Perhaps you could interest her in paying us a visit? Maybe on some less exotic form of transport? Perhaps a first-class airline ticket?

Ciara: Well, maybe she will come back with us.

Doug: Hear, hear.

Julie: I suppose we have plenty of time to be together as you’re planning for this great endeavor. When are you going to leave?

Ciara: Uh…tomorrow.

Julie: Tomorrow?

Doug: What’s the rush?

Ciara: Will, little bo is at his most portable form right now, and the older he gets, the harder it’ll be to do this and we’re afraid that if we put it off we’ll never be able to get to do it. The way that ben and I see it, we’re at a crossroads right now. Either I get back to work and we put little bo in a daycare or we set sail for a grand adventure.

Doug: Well, I do love a grand adventure.

Rafe: Yeah, it sounds like you got it all figured out.

Ciara: Yeah, well, there is one loose end we have to tie up.

Clyde: Well, I hate to put a damper on your excitement, but I think you’re forgetting something.

Ben: What’s that?

Clyde: Me. You know it’s a condition of my parole that I live with you. So while you’re sailing off into the sunset, they’ll be hauling my butt back to statesville.

Ben: Dad. Ciara and I did not forget about you, okay?

Clyde: You didn’t exactly welcome me with open arms to begin with, and ciara’s been counting the days till she’s rid of me, I know that.

Ben: Ciara and I made a promise to take care of you. And we will.

Clyde: You gonna take me with you? I don’t know how the man might feel about that, though, technically, I suppose, I would be living on some houseboat or something with you. But what will I say to my new girlfriend?

Marlena: Why do you want to thank abigail?

Nancy: Abigail and chad interrupted craig and leo’s wedding. They helped save craig from marrying that money-grubbing, slimy bigamist.

Marlena: Yes, that’s right.

Nancy: I, um, I also want to thank you, marlena, for all the help you’ve given me in our therapy sessions.

Marlena: Well, you’ve worked hard–I think you made a lot of progress.

Nancy: Thank you. I also have something else that’s helped me accept what happened between craig and me.

Marlena: What is that?

Nancy: I have a new boyfriend.

Marlena: Oh! I’m– I’m glad, I– I guess i thought that might’ve come up in our therapy sessions.

Nancy: Truthfully, I thought maybe you would judge him. I mean, he’s a wonderful person. He’s kind, he’s family-oriented, he’s employed. But he, um, just got out of prison recently. His name is clyde.

Marlena: Clyde weston?

Nancy: I-I see you know he’s an ex-con.

Marlena: I do.

Nancy: But marlena, isn’t prison about redemption? I mean, just because you did something wrong in the past doesn’t mean that you’re condemned to be a bad person for the rest of your life, right?

Orpheus: Jan’s going to be heading back to the big house soon… and when she does, you’ll be the only parent that little boy has.

Evan: Assuming good ol’ reliable jan comes through for you. You know that she’s living with a police detective. How do you plan on getting in touch with her without shawn brady knowing and bring down the hammer?

Orpheus: You’re forgetting your father’s A… what’d they say? Criminal mastermind. Yeah. I like that. That’s got a nice ring to it. I mailed jan a burner phone disguised as junk mail. And now I’m gonna signal her to get herself alone and wait for my call.

Jan: Oh my goodness, he’s got my finger. What a grip. Ohh… look at these little hands. His little fingernails. His skin is so soft. Shawn, he’s just–he’s perfect. He’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Our little miracle. And I know I told julie that he looks just like me, but really, he looks just like you.

Shawn: I’m not sure I see it.

Jan: Well he’s, you know, he’s a preemie, so he looks a little bit like an alien right now, but a little preemie alien version of you. And soon he’ll be a big, healthy, strong version. You’ll see. Like pulsing, electric shocks,

Marlena: Clyde is working very hard to turn his life around.

Nancy: Oh, he is. I’m so glad that you see it. He really, really is. And, well, roman says that he is the best cook the pub has had since caroline brady. And you know that’s high praise. I just know you do. And, well, marlena, I haven’t had this much fun since… well, never. And…

Marlena: I’m happy for you.

Nancy: Thank you. And I…I know that if his son, who was the necktie killer, can be reformed and accepted, well, then anyone can.

Ben: So you and nancy are getting pretty serious, huh?

Clyde: Well, uh, let’s just say I wouldn’t want to up and leave at this juncture.

Ben: Well, that’s good to hear, pop. Because I’m sorry… you can’t leave. You’ve been working really hard trying to prove yourself, and I’m proud of you. I wouldn’t want to see you violate your parole, dad. You come with us, that would easily be misconstrued as you skipping town.

Clyde: [Sighs] So what’s the alternative? I need you here, but you’re leaving. I can’t skip town with you guys. So what do you got?

Ben: You don’t necessarily need me here. You need a responsible party to vouch for you.

Clyde: Ha ha ha. We both know how popular I am in salem, right?

Ben: Why don’t you just live here?

Julie: But what happens if roman does not agree to let clyde stay at the pub?

Doug: Julie, if you’re thinking of lobbying roman to torpedo ben and ciara’s plans, I don’t–

Julie: Torpedo? Me? Torpedo?

Ciara: I don’t think that uncle roman will say no, and if clyde doesn’t like the idea–

Rafe: Well, I can think of one place that will welcome clyde back with open arms. They even offer three hots and a cot.

Ciara: Rafe.

Julie: Talking about prison.

Doug: Oh, thanks a lot.

Ciara: I actually don’t think it’ll come to that.

Rafe: Just trying to help.

Ciara: Ben really loves his dad, and he would do anything to help him, but we agreed that our own family comes first.

Doug: As well it should.

Julie: Well, all family is important. I mean, I’m just saying.

[Laughing]

Doug: Ciara, we understand being young and in love and wanting to see the world. It’ll be a magical time for the two of you. Now the three of you. But while you’re out there conquering the world, we’re gonna be back here missing you terribly.

Julie: Counting the days till you come home.

Doug: Yes.

Ciara: [Sighs] I love you both. Thank you so much for understanding.

Doug: [Murmuring]

Ciara: [Murmurs response]

Julie: Understanding. Yeah, well, I wouldn’t exactly say I’m understanding, but I’m not gonna try to talk you out of this because you’re your mother’s daughter, and you’re both stubborn.

Ciara: Yes, we are.

[Sniffles]

Rafe: And I’m gonna expect frequent updates on my godson.

Ciara: Oh, you’ll absolutely be getting them because the boat has wi-fi, so expect a constant bombardment of pictures and videos.

Rafe: You better send ’em. I’m telling you, okay?

Ciara: I will, I promise.

Rafe: Okay, good. We got it cleared up.

Ciara: Yeah. Also, there’s one more thing. I kind of wanted to have bo’s christening before we left. I know it’s short notice and you have a lot on your plate–

Rafe: No, no, listen, when it comes to baby bo, my schedule is wide open. Any time works.

Ciara: Thank you, rafe.

Rafe: Yeah.

Ciara: Oh, you have always been there for us.

Rafe: And I always will.

Ciara: And that is why you are the godfather.

Rafe: And for that, I… I’m honored. I’m so honored. I love you.

Ciara: Love you. Oh, my god, and now I have to go tell shawn. I have to tell him about our plans. Wish me luck.

Jan: I think shawn christian is going to look just like you. His chin, his fingers.

Shawn: Ha. His fingers?

Jan: Yes, they’re so long. Which is why he’s gonna be a concert pianist. And we will be so proud. But we’ll be so proud of our little guy no matter what, right? Oh…shawn.

Shawn: What? What is it?

Jan: I’m so happy that our son is getting healthier and that he’s going to be leaving the hospital, but… when that happens…shawn, i don’t want to go back to prison.

[Phone rings] Who is it?

Shawn: It’s statesville. Detective brady. Yeah, I’ll accept the call.

Evan: Detective brady? It’s evan frears.

Shawn: Evan? I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Clyde: You want me to live here? In the pub?

Ben: Why not? Maybe you could roll out a little sleeping bag behind the bar, make a little fort out of table cloths? You and nancy, huh? It could be kind of fun. You know there are rooms upstairs, right?

Clyde: Yeah. Also, that’s where roman lives, with his girlfriend, who happens to be my ex. And what makes you think roman will ever agree to such a thing in the first place?

Ben: Ciara’s gonna talk to him. She’ll set it all up. And as far as kate goes, you’re a spoken-for man now, anyway, right?

Marlena: You know, you’re right. Ben has worked very hard to overcome his illness and get his life back on track.

Nancy: And so has clyde.

Marlena: Mm. H– how serious are the two of you?

Nancy: Well, we really haven’t put a label on it. Oh, but… marlena, he did give me this beautiful bracelet. Oh. I didn’t want to wear it to the funeral because it was too flashy, but… I could put it back on now. Marlena… I, um, I can’t go back in there. That’s all right, isn’t it? I mean, you can tell abigail’s family that I’m so sorry.

Marlena: Sure. I can do that. Nancy, it’s a beautiful bracelet.

Nancy: It is, isn’t it? Oh, I am one lucky lady.

Shawn: What the hell do you want, evan?

Jan: Hang up! He’s a maniac!

Evan: I know this might be inappropriate, but I just didn’t know how else to go about it.

Shawn: Spit it out or I’m hanging up.

Evan: I wanted to apologize for what I did to your sister and your nephew. I feel awful. I wasn’t in my right state of mind.

Shawn: Oh, because the devil made you do it?

Evan: I’m sorry.

Shawn: You’re sorry? Oh, that’s all you have to say?

Evan: I guess I’m just… I’m just looking for some sort of redemption.

Shawn: Yeah, well, find it someplace else and lose my my number, okay?

Jan: Shawn, what did he say?

Shawn: Look, he– he wanted to apologize for what he did to ciara and bo.

Jan: That’s it? He said he was sorry?

Shawn: I don’t– I don’t know what his deal is, but he…he said he was looking for redemption.

Jan: Did you say redemption?

Orpheus: You’re gonna have to find a way to–

Jan: I’ve been around the block a couple times, all right? If I said I can get it, I’ll get it.

Orpheus: Good, jan. That’s good. I’m gonna… I’m gonna mail you a burner phone. Find a safe place to hide it. And then I’m gonna signal you with a word, a magic word. When you hear the word, you have five minutes to get the phone, get yourself alone, and wait for my call.

Jan: So? What’s the magic word?

Orpheus: “Remption.”

Jan: [Sighs] I don’t know why evan frears thinks he deserves redemption.

Shawn: Listen, can we not talk about evan? Is that okay? All right.

Jan: Yeah.

Shawn: Come on.

Jan: I’m actually starving. Nursing will do that to you. So, do you mind if you can once again save me from the slop in this place and get me a chili cheeseburger from buddy’s?

Shawn: Yes, okay, yeah, I’ll, uh, I’ll be right back, all right?

Jan: Oh, god, come on. Come on! God. Oh. What did orpheus tell evan? Oh, you’re going to ruin everything. I didn’t win the lawsuit, but everybody knows I wrote that song.

Julie: I just can’t believe this. Ciara is leaving town too? I mean, after losing eli and lani and the twins and abigail?

Doug: Well, ciara now is a grown woman, honey. With a family of her own. She has her whole life ahead to settle down. Which she will, eventually. In the meantime, you got me, baby, you got me.

Julie: Oh, of course. Thank god I do.

Doug: Rafe, we won’t keep you any longer. We know you have a lot on your plate.

Rafe: Thank you. Yes, I do.

Julie: Speaking of that, could you tell us has there been any progress in this search to find out who killed abigail?

Rafe: Well, uh, all we know so far is that the killer was able to get into abigail’s bedroom, despite the dimeras’ tight security. There were no signs of forced entry. And, um, we don’t know how the perpetrator got on or off the grounds, and there was no weapon left behind. The only solid clue that we do have is of the jewelry and the money that was stolen. Now, fortunately, chad took pictures of the jewelry, which was quite distinctive. So, we find the jewelry, and we’ll be able to find the killer or person that will lead us to them.

Nancy: Oh. Hello, ben.

Ben: Oh, hey.

Nancy: It’s so nice to see you again.

Ben: Hey, nancy, nice to see you too.

Nancy: Oh.

Ben: Well, I actually have some errands I need to run. Should probably get going. But I just wanted to make sure that you’re okay with all this, dad.

Clyde: Yeah, yeah, it sounds like a hell of an adventure. I’m happy for you. But I’m not gonna lie to you. I’M…gonna miss you and the little one something fierce.

Ben: We’re gonna miss you, too, pop. I know, uh… we spent more time apart than together over the years, and the times that we did have together weren’t always the best…but we’ll be back. And you and I are gonna pick up right where we left off.

Clyde: I’m gonna hold you to that.

Ben: Bye, nancy.

Nancy: Bye. Clyde, what was that all about?

[Phone rings]

Jan: [Gasps] Oh, god. Hello? Yes, I’ll accept the call. I thought you were gonna call me and give me the magic word.

Orpheus: Hello to you too, jan.

Jan: What the hell did you tell evan? Why are you even talking to him anyway? He’s not supposed to know anything about the baby being his–you promised me.

Orpheus: Calm down, jan. He doesn’t know a thing. He’s just a means to an end. I used him to call shawn because he had a plausible reason to call him. And don’t worry about the paternity of shawn christian. It’s a well-kept secret.

Jan: How do you know my baby’s name?

Orpheus: I know all, jan. So don’t cross me. Because I’ll know that too. I kept my end of the bargain. So, did you get shawn’s password to salem pd?

Jan: Yeah. I have it. I have it memorized. And I know things too. So don’t cross me either.

Orpheus: Noted. Let’s have it.

Jan: Okay, ready? It’s lower case x, 92, f as in frank– wait a minute–maybe it’s upper case x, lower case F.

Orpheus: I thought you said you knew things, jan.

Jan: Yeah, just hold on a sec–you’re making me nervous. Um… okay, I got it, I got it. It’s x, 92, f, 5, smiley face emoji, 29.

Orpheus: Smiley face emoji?

Jan: Yeah. You know, the little sideways smiley face?

Orpheus: You mean a colon and a closed parenthesis?

Jan: Yeah. That. The curvy one at the end, not the curvy one at the beginning.

Orpheus: You’re sure? The smiley face isn’t winking, is it, jan?

Jan: I’m positive. No winks.

Orpheus: Okay. Pleasure doing business with you. Time to get to work. My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis…

Nancy: So, out of nowhere, your son decides he’s going to be captain ahab, and he didn’t even consult with you first or officially set up a workable situation for you?

Clyde: He said that ciara would talk to roman.

Nancy: When?

Clyde: They wanted to tell their nearest and dearest first.

Nancy: Okay, so…what if– what if roman decides he doesn’t want to take responsibility for you?

Clyde: I guess it’s back to the slammer for me.

Nancy: Oh, no it’s not! Um…if it turns out that you can’t stay here at the pub, then…

Clyde: What?

Nancy: Maybe you can move in with me?

Marlena: Ben. What a nice surprise. Come in. And hello, little bo.

Ben: Yeah. Fast asleep, as you can see.

Marlena: Hmm. What a shame you couldn’t get a cute baby.

Ben: Oh, thank you. I’m glad you’re home. I know today’s been, uh…

Marlena: A rough one for everybody. I can’t even imagine what abigail’s family is going through, it… can’t be easy for you either.

Ben: I just felt it’d be inappropriate for me to attend the funeral. Can’t help feeling somehow selfish for wanting to grieve her.

Marlena: Of course you would grieve her. Why would that be selfish? Ben, you are such a good and kind man. Believe that, all right? And if I can do anything at all to help, please let me know.

Ben: Thank you. Dr. Evans, that’s actually what I wanted to come talk to you about. Do you offer any type of, um… virtual therapy?

[Elevator bell dings]

Shawn: Oh, hey, sis. What are you doing here?

Ciara: Well, I came to see you.

Shawn: Uh, why? I mean, I just saw you an hour ago.

Ciara: Yeah, well, abigail’s funeral didn’t really seem like the place to tell you.

Shawn: Tell me what?

Evan: So you got what you needed from jan?

Orpheus: Oh, I think so. She knows there’ll be hell to pay if she screwed this up.

Evan: So when you hack into the mainframe or whatever, how long will it be until I see my baby?

Orpheus: In a couple weeks. Months, max.

Evan: Months?

Orpheus: We’re playing the long game, son. 3d chess takes time. I’ll get my guys on it right away. Be patient, my boy.

Evan: [Sighs] I don’t think I can do that.

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis persists…

Evan: Weeks? Months? He can’t expect me to wait that long to see my son, no way. Where the hell did he put that number? Yes!

[Dark music]

[Line rings]

[Phone rings]

Jan: Hello? Yes, I’ll accept the call. Orpheus, I told you, sideways smiley face, no winks. I’m sure that’s right.

Evan: This isn’t orpheus. It’s evan.

Jan: Evan?

Evan: You remember. Your old friend from prison.

Jan: What do you want?

Evan: I want my baby.

Ciara: Please don’t be mad.

Shawn: Look, I’m not mad, all right? I mean, how could i be mad when I did the exact same thing with belle and claire? And you know what? I don’t regret a single second of it–some of the best times of our life were on the “fancy face iv.”

Ciara: Look, I know you’re going through a lot right now, and trust me, I want to be there for you more than anything, but I– I’m just a video call away. You know that, right?

Shawn: You know what? I’m gonna take you up on that, so watch out.

Ciara: Good. You better. And please come see us off tomorrow. And I promise, watch, I’ll be back before you know it–we’re not gonna spend nearly as much time as you guys did out there. I’m very looking forward to watching baby bo and baby shawn grow up together side-by-side. But in the meantime, I’m really gonna miss you.

Shawn: Not as much as I’m gonna miss you.

Doug: Somehow, I know everything is gonna turn out all right, my darling.

Julie: I just can’t get over so many goodbyes.

Doug: Yes. Eli and lani and jules and carver, and now ciara and ben and little bo. But, honey, they’ll all be coming back.

Julie: Abigail won’t come back. I know I should be grateful. I know I should be counting my blessings for all the years I’ve been here, for all the time with my family, for all the time with you. But I can’t help but think that chad will never have those years with abigail.

Doug: Well, that’s another reason I’m here. I’ll be counting the blessings for both of us. And top of my list is you. I love you. I love you so much, my darling… julie olson williams banning anderson.

[Both laughing]

Julie: I love you, doug. You are the captain of my heart.

Clyde: You want me to move in with you?

Nancy: Oh, that was kind of forward of me, wasn’t it? I mean, we’ve just been seeing each other for a short time and all, and then… why don’t we just forget i mentioned it?

Clyde: No, no, no, it’s very kind of you, I just– I’m a little surprised, is all. You’ve just come through a really difficult divorce.

Nancy: Well, these are extenuating circumstances. I mean, clyde, if things don’t work out with roman, then, well, maybe you’d consider me your backup plan?

Clyde: [Chuckles] Nancy, I would be honored to have you as my backup plan.

[Nancy giggles]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: Finn…

Sheila: Oh, my god, no. This can’t be happening. What do I do?

Mike: Why are you asking me? You–you–you were a nurse. I’m just a guard.

Sheila: Come on, finn.

Mike: That’s not doing any good.

Sheila: I need li! Why did she have to threaten me?

Mike: Maybe she couldn’t get over you shooting her son.

Sheila: He’s my son! I’ll protect him now.

[Monitor emitting continuous tone]

Mike: Whoa. Whoa, whoa. Wait a minute. What are you doing?

Sheila: I’m gonna shock him back to life.

Mike: Have you ever used that before?

Sheila: Like you said, I’m a nurse.

Mike: That is not an answer. If you don’t know what you’re doing, you’ll kill him for sure, sheila.

Sheila: Yeah, well, he’s gonna die for sure if I don’T. Now I lost him once. I am not gonna lose him again.

[Machine beeping]

[Knock on door]

Ridge: Hey. Sorry. I should’ve called before I came over. Are you in the middle of something?

Taylor: Yeah, I’m the middle of a very hot date. How’s that going? I’m glad you’re here. Thanks for checking on me.

Ridge: I’m always gonna check on you, especially with sheila running around.

Taylor: Okay, what’s going on? You seem upset.

Ridge: I am upset. I’m angry, and I’m– I’m frustrated.

Taylor: So it’s just a normal day for you.

Ridge: [Groans]

Taylor: Uh-huh. What’s happening?

Ridge: I went down to the police station, talked to baker.

Taylor: Let me guess. There’s no word on sheila.

Ridge: Nothing! Not a clue. They just keep reassuring me that everything’s gonna be fine. How do–how do they let somebody walk out of their jail?

Taylor: I mean…

Ridge: They gotta find this woman, put her behind bars before someone else gets hurt.

Mike: Don’t do it, sheila! Call 9-1-1 and get him some real help!

Sheila: No one can know that finn’s alive.

Mike: He won’t be if you start shocking him with those things.

Sheila: I have no choice. Would you get his shirt off, mike?! Hurry up!

[Monitor emitting continuous tone] Mike, come on!

[Defibrillator whining] Clear!

[Paddles thunk] She’s feeling the power of listerine.

Ridge: Well, I gotta give you credit. You made the right call.

Taylor: And which right call are you talking about? Because I make so many.

Ridge: So many, the one where you convinced steffy to go overseas–that one.

Taylor: Thank you. I knew that there was no way they were going to be able to heal here in this house. I still feel finn’s presence, don’t you? I-I keep expecting him to walk through the door with a–with a surfboard under his arm and that big goofy grin. I don’t know how steffy and the kids did it.

Ridge: That’s what I mean. You made the right call. You told ’em to leave even before you knew about sheila. You were protecting your kids before you knew about that danger. That’s just…who you are. That’s what I love about you– that intuition.

Taylor: Yeah. Usually, my intuition is a little more spot on than it was with sheila. But hey, don’t sell yourself short. You were right there with me encouraging steffy to– to go.

Ridge: Stop it. I was just following your lead.

Taylor: It’s because you’re a very smart man.

Ridge: I-I am a very smart man. Have you talked to steffy?

Taylor: I was actually just thinking about calling her.

Ridge: Well, then let’s do it. We’ll do it together.

Taylor: Yeah?

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: That’s such a good ideA. She’ll be happy to see another face.

[Dialing]

[Ring]

[Chime]

Steffy: Hey, mom.

Taylor: Hi, baby! Hi! I-I hope it’s not too late. I, um, I didn’t check the time.

Steffy: Oh, no, it’s–it’s fine. The–the kids are sleeping. I’m just, um…just thinkin’.

Ridge: Hi.

Taylor: [Laughs]

Ridge: I’m here, too.

Steffy: [Chuckles] Hey, dad.

Ridge: And we were just thinking about you and the kids and thought we’d check in.

Steffy: Glad you did.

Taylor: So, um, how was the rest of your day? Is everything okay?

Steffy: Yeah, I’m a– I’m a little sad, obviously.

I mean, I’m just– I’m really thinking about what this trip could have been like if finn were here, you know,

here with the family. Days with the kids, nights for us, but…

believe it or not,

things are–are going okay.

You know, I guess it is good

that it’s a change of scenery.

It’s like a different vibe,

and it’s really good for

kelly and hayes,

distracting them

from missing finn.

Ridge: What about you?

Steffy: [Sighs] I mean, I’m still trying to wrap my head around losing finn. It’s still pretty shocking.

[Paddles thunk]

[Monitor emitting continuous tone]

Sheila: He’s not responding.

Mike: Sheila, you’re gonna kill him… again.

Sheila: I am not gonna stand by and do nothing while my son is flatlining.

[Paddles thunk] Come on, finn. You gotta come back to me. It–it needs more of a charge, mike.

Mike: Based on what? Some tv show you’ve seen? Sheila, you don’t know what you’re doing!

Sheila: I am bringing my son back. It’s right there. Will you turn it up?

Mike: Not a chance in hell. I am not participating. I am not gonna be an accomplice.

Sheila: You’re already here!

[Sighs] Okay. Okay, here we go, baby.

[Paddles thunk] Come on. Come on.

[Defibrillator whines] Come on, finn. Finn, no, I can’t do this on my own. You’ve got to meet me halfway.

Mike: Sheila… you gotta let it go.

Sheila: Let go of me.

[Paddles thunk]

[Grunts]

[Defibrillator whines] Come on, finn. We can do this. We can do this together. We can do this together.

[Paddles thunk]

[Grunts]

[Defibrillator whines]

[Crying] Come on. Please. Please. Please.

[Sobbing]

[Monitor emitting continuous tone]

[Beeping steadily]

[Gasping] Oh, my god.

[Crying] Oh, my god. I did it! I brought him back.

[Beeping continues]

[Continues sobbing] What happens to your body language

Taylor: I hope you’re allowing all the emotions, honey. I mean, this is– this is called a process for a reason.

Steffy: I know.

I’m letting myself feel

whatever comes through,

whether it’s anger or sadness

or even something I don’t

quite understand.

Taylor: Well, you and finn shared a beautiful love, and you created a beautiful child. I hope that gives you comfort.

Steffy: It does. And I-I wanna hold on to those memories, especially now that finn is gone.

We had so many plans

for our future. Just never would have thought it would be taken from me so quickly.

Ridge: I know, and I’m sorry.

Steffy: Because of sheila.

I’m assuming she hasn’t

been found.

Taylor: No. You’ll be our first call.

Ridge: She will be found, if I have to go out there and find her myself, but she’s gonna pay for what she did to you and to her son.

Steffy: I still can’t believ

she just sailed out of prison.

Taylor: Yeah, but thank god you and the kids weren’t here.

Steffy: Just please

be careful, okay?

Taylor: Oh, I am. I promise. I’m a little freaked out, but your dad has a lot of security around here, so I feel safe.

Steffy: Good. I miss you.

Ridge: We miss you, too.

Taylor: So much.

Ridge: But you stay put, all right? Do what your mom tells you to do. We’ll figure this out. We’re gonna get through this together, all right? We’ll–we’ll get you whatever you need.

Steffy: I need finn. But you can’t bring him back. No one can.

[Beeping steadily]

Sheila: Oh, my god. I-I did it.

Mike: Son of a gun, you did it. You did it, sheila. You brought finn back.

Sheila: We did it together.

Mike: Well, mostly, I just provided moral support.

Sheila: Not–not–not you. Finn and me. You stood there holding your– your pearls, talking words of doom. Somehow, I got– I got through to him. He heard me, and he fought to come back.

Mike: Well, what I saw was a-a warrior woman refusing to give up against all odds.

Sheila: What you saw was a mother saving her son’s life. Now if I can just get him to open those beautiful eyes.

Mike: Thought about what happens when he does?

Sheila: What do you mean?

Mike: Not to be debbie downer but I don’t think you’ve thought this through. What are you gonna say, I’m wondering? He wakes up. He’s gonna know what went down in that alley, unless god forbid there’s a neurological issue.

Sheila: Oh, god, don’t even say that.

Mike: I’m just pointing out that he’s gonna know you almost killed him and his beloved wife, the–the mother of his son, and that doesn’t put a dent in what you did to his mother.

Sheila: I…i am his mother.

Mike: I don’t think that’s gonna buy a lot of slack against the woman who raised him.

Sheila: Why do you have to be so negative? Can I just enjoy this one moment? My son who I thought was dead, finn, who died and who almost died right now, I-I brought back, and you’re already trying to take him away from me again.

Mike: No, I’m just thinking one step ahead, like what happened to li’s body? Where’s the corpse? Was she thrown clear from the car? Probably not. She was wearing a seatbelt. Fact is, that car’s gonna be down there a very long time. I remember reading about this entire train–jumped the tracks, went over the edge years ago.

Sheila: Stop talking! Stop talking.

Finn: [Groaning]

Sheila: He’s coming to. You–you’ve got to leave, mike. Finn can’t see you here when he wakes up.

Mike: Don’t have to tell me twice. I’m out.

[Door closes]

Finn: [Grunts]

[Monitor beeping steadily]

Sheila: Finn?

Finn: [Grunts]

Sheila: Open those eyes. I want you to come all the way back to me. Mama’s right here waiting. For people who are a little intense about hydration.

Ridge: So what’s going on here?

Taylor: I can’t stop thinking about steffy and–and the pain that she’s in right now. I know she just–she wants to scream all of her rage and all of her anger, and she can’t because she’s trying to be strong for the kids, and my heart hurts for her.

Ridge: She doesn’t deserve any of this.

Taylor: No, she doesn’T. But at least her and the kids are safe. They’re not here. I can’t imagine–

Ridge: Why are we imagining? Why do we have to imagine that there’s somebody out there that’s gonna hurt our daughter? Why? She should be in jail and–and behind bars where she can never hurt anybody again.

Taylor: I know. None of this makes sense. Just like sheila makes no sense. Ridge, she killed her son. How does she even wake up in the morning, much less plan an escape from jail?

Ridge: Well, that’s what we’re dealing with. That’s who she is.

Taylor: How did finn turn out to be such a wonderful, wonderful man? You know, he… he never shut the door on sheila completely, not once. He always gave her the benefit of the doubt because he was A… he was a decent and kind person.

Ridge: He was. He was a good man.

Taylor: He really was. God, I-I’m so–I’m so glad that I moved in here when I– when I came back, ’cause I got to– I got to witness their– their love, and I got to see their happiness. And I got to see our little girl have some much joy.

Ridge: He gave her a beautiful life, beautiful boy. And…hopefully one day, she’ll learn to heal.

Finn: Steffy forrester,

will you marry me?

Will you be my wife?

Steffy: Yes,

I’ll be your wife.

I can’t believe it.

We’re getting married.

Finn: And we’re having

a baby.

You have given me

the greatest gift–hayes.

Steffy: You’ve captured

my heart–the way you are

with kelly and hayes,

your unconditional love

for all of us.

You look at your son

with such pride in your eyes.

Finn: I give you this ring

as a sign of my love

and commitment to you.

Steffy: I give you this ring

as a sign of my love

and commitment to you.

I love you. I love you so much.

[Sighs]

[Monitor beeping steadily]

Sheila: That’s right, baby. Come on back. I’m right here.

[Sighs] Come on. Oh, yes. Oh, my god. Oh, my god. You’re back.

Finn: [Exhales]

[Grunts]

[Weakly] Mom?

Sheila: Yes. Yes, baby, I’M…I’m right here. I’m right by your side, and I love you so very much. Don’t ever doubt that.

Finn: What…

Sheila: No, don’t–don’t– don’t talk. Don’t even try. Don’t even try. You’re gonna be– you’re gonna be confused. You’ve been somewhere else a very long time. Thank god for your mother–me– for bringing you back. Thank god I didn’t give up, because look at this incredible miracle. You’re alive. My son. My beautiful boy. You’re alive.

Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Phyllis: Yeah, yeah, i realize it’s a holiday weekend. I realize that. So let’s look at this as — i don’t know — a challenge as opposed to a setback. So, this is what you need to do. You need to e-mail our regular spa clients, and you need to tell them about our state-of-the-art equipment, alright? I spent a lot of money on this stuff, and if we don’t get people in there, well, you’re not gonna have much of a staff left. Exactly. Inspirational. I like that. That was inspirational. I got to get back to you. Hey, diane. You need a bell around your neck.

[ Clears throat ] What can I help you with?

Diane: Well, I’m so glad you asked. In light of our recent truce, i thought it’d be wonderful if i could go back to having full access of your top-of-the-line gym and spa.

Phyllis: Why? I hear that the athletic club has more than adequate equipment for, you know, the average guest.

Diane: [ Sighs ] We can be honest with each other, can’t we, now that we’re family? Your equipment is a cut above, and astrid’s massages have made a new woman out of me.

Phyllis: Um… I can’t help you. I’m really sorry. We have an agreement with the athletic club that they don’t poach our clients, we don’t poach theirs. Besides, we are all booked up.

Diane: Oh. Huh. Funny you should say that because I could have sworn i just heard you complaining that you were desperate for customers.

Phyllis: I was not saying that, that I was a desperate for customers. I just — you misunderstood. Diane, we have the right to refuse service to anyone.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] You don’t have any grounds to do that where I’m concerned. I’m wearing shoes, I’m not drunk, and I’m certainly not being disruptive.

Phyllis: Um, you were escorted off the premises before.

Diane: Oh, but, phyllis, that was back when we were bitter rivals. If that ban still holds, then that means our truce isn’t really real. I would hate to think our détente was just on paper, and i know other people would be disappointed, too.

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness. Listen to you. Are you threatening me right now? Are you gonna tattle on me if i don’t give you an appointment at my hotel? Wow.

Summer: Hi, guys.

Diane: Hi, summer.

Phyllis: Hey, supergirl

Summer: Hi. What’s going on here with you two peace-makers?

Diane: Oh, I was thinking because your mother has been so generous to declare a truce that I would spend my self-care money here. So, I was just telling phyllis what a fabulous job she’s done creating such a restorative oasis.

Summer: What a nice gesture. Isn’t it, mom?

Phyllis: It’s lovely. Well, the grand phoenix welcomes you with open arms.

Allie: Jack, you have a few minutes?

Jack: Sure. Anytime for you. What’s up?

Allie: Hey, so, I have been thinking about that internship offer.

Jack: And?

Allie: And I would be very interested in the position. That is, if it’s still available.

Jack: It certainly is. And I am thrilled to hear this. I will call hr right now and get your paperwork started and… I’m delighted, and ashley will be, too.

Allie: Great. Well, I can’t wait to start. I do — [ Sighs ] Jack, I do have one condition, though.

Jack: A new intern with demands.

Allie: No. It’s not that. You and the rest of the family have been so kind and so welcoming, and I appreciate that. But I can’t help but wonder if some people might think I have ulterior motives, you know, that I came here looking for a handout or to take advantage of being an abbott.

Jack: Allie —

Allie: And I hope there is no part of you, jack, that feels that I came here with nefarious intentions, trying to take all I can get from you. And — and I hope there’s no part of you that’s doing this because of my dna. I need to know that this is based purely on merit and not out of some sense of guilt you feel for the years that you lost with my dad.

Kyle: Which handsome ceo just scored two unbelievable seats to genoa city’s hottest singing star’s hometown concert?

Mariah: I’m gonna go out on a limb and —

Kyle: This guy! We cannot wait. Summer’s been singing all the songs from your album. Coffee, please.

Mariah: Uh, kyle, that’s very sweet —

Kyle: Yes, I had to pay through the nose, but we would have paid double just to see tessa singing her heart out onstage. Tessa, what’s wrong?

Mariah: Uh, tessa had an appointment this morning with an ear, nose, and throat specialist. She has vocal chord nodules.

Kyle: [ Sighs ] Oh, tessa. I’m so sorry.

Mariah: The doctor is recommending surgery followed by vocal training… which means she’s not only going to have to postpone this show, but her tour…indefinitely. Like pulsing, electric shocks,

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Kyle: Tessa, I’m so sorry. I cannot even imagine.

Tessa: I just… I had so much riding on this tour. And, honestly, I’m worried about what all this time out of the spotlight is gonna do to my career.

Mariah: Hey. Look at me. Your health is the most important thing. And I know that this is not ideal, but thank goodness it wasn’t more serious. So, we are gonna do everything we can to make sure you have the best care and that you’re doing anything and everything possible to not only preserve your voice, but career.

Tessa: Yeah. I mean, look, I’m trying to be optimistic.

[ Sighs ] But I — I can’t help but feel like I’m disappointing all the fans that I’ve made after all these years.

Kyle: No. When you go public with the news, your fans will rally around you and cheer on your recovery.

Mariah: It’s true. Tessa, they adore you. They just want you to be happy and healthy and be able to create more beautiful music.

Kyle: I mean, should you get a second opinion? Not that I’m doubting your doctor or the diagnosis, but it might help ease your mind knowing you’re following the best course of treatment.

Mariah: Actually, we’re meeting with elena in a little bit. Her uncle jett had something very similar, and she was instrumental in his recovery.

Kyle: Smart. And I know this sucks, tessa, especially on the heels of your album dropping, but in another way, couldn’t be better timing.

Mariah: You’re gonna have to explain that one.

[ Chuckles ]

Kyle: Well, if you’re forced to take a break from your singing career, it may give you more time to focus on your adoption plans.

Mariah: Uh…actually, we’ve, uh — we’ve put that on hold for a little bit to deal with us.

Tessa: Mariah thought it was important that, uh, I heal first.

Mariah: Hey. We’re gonna meet our child when the time is right. I believe that in my soul.

Jack: It never crossed my mind that you came to genoa city for mercenary reasons. As a matter of fact, I feel like you’re doing us a favor. We are lucky to have someone with your graduate education in that position. As a matter of fact, there were discussions that you might get bored.

Allie: [ Laughs ] Never. I loved being at that lab at jabot, imagining all the possibilities.

Jack: Well, I am thrilled you’re interested in learning the family business… and sticking around, for a while anyway.

Allie: You know, I do feel like I’m starting to find my footing here.

[ Doorbell rings ] You expecting anyone?

Allie: Uh, I don’t think so.

Jack: Come in, noah.

Noah: Hey, jack.

Jack: My guess is you’re not here to see me.

Allie: [ Chuckling ] Hey.

Noah: Hi.

Jack: Listen, much as I’d like to stick around, I have a meeting to get to, so the house is yours.

Allie: Alright. Bye, jack. What, uh — what brings you by?

Noah: How do you feel about surprises?

Allie: In general, I hate them. They’re very unpredictable. But I can try to be open-minded.

Summer: I have to say, I am impressed. This truce is off to a promising start.

Diane: [ Sighs ] I’d do anything for kyle.

Phyllis: And I, too, would make sacrifices for my children. In fact, I have. I have, for you and kyle. You know, when he didn’t have a mom around.

Diane: And since kyle and summer and I will be working so closely at marchetti, it is imperative that we all get along.

Summer: Absolutely. This is the goal.

Phyllis: Yeah, that is the goal. This is us getting along.

Diane: Yes. So far, so good.

Phyllis: So far, so good!

Diane: Right?

Phyllis: And in fact — in fact, look at this. We had a cancellation. Oh, my goodness. You know what I’m gonna do? I’m gonna gift you with our very special resurrection rejuvenation treatment.

Diane: I am dying to hear more.

Phyllis: Oh, you’re gonna love it. I mean, I haven’t done it myself, but I hear that it digs, digs down and brings out the best in someone. People describe it as — I don’t know — coming back from the dead. But I don’t know about that.

[ Laughs ]

Diane: You know, that just sounds way too expensive and so self-indulgent. But you know what? I’m worth it.

Phyllis: Yes, you are. Yes, you are. Oh, I’m so excited.

Summer: Wow. Where do — where do I sign up, mom?

Phyllis: Oh, my gosh. You know what? There’s always a place for you, always a place.

Diane: You know, I think summer was my good luck charm. You were all booked up and then my daughter-in-law shows up and suddenly — pfft! Serendipity.

Phyllis: Serendipitous.

Diane: Yeah.

Phyllis: I know. She’s like a good luck charm for sure. So, let me see here. Here we go. Yeah, astrid is ready for you whenever you’re ready.

Diane: Sounds great. I can hardly wait.

Phyllis: Welcome to the grand phoenix spa. I hope you enjoy yourself.

Diane: I will. Ciao.

Phyllis: Ciao.

Summer: What the hell was that? (Vo) it’s yoooopllllaaaitiimmeee!!!

Mariah: Everybody at jabot is buzzing about you being home.

Tessa: Yeah, and no one is more excited than this lady right here.

Kyle: Well, I hope you’re still happy after you hear the latest. Thank you. And thank goodness you’re hearing it from me.

Mariah: Oh, no. What’s the bad news?

Kyle: I’m the new ceo of marchetti.

Tessa: [ Gasps ] That’s fabulous!

Mariah: No! No, it isn’T. You brought me to jabot, and now you’re ditching me? Kyle, you can’t go.

Kyle: No, no, no, no. I’m not ditching anyone, and I’m not leaving jabot. I’m just vacating my co-ceo seat to run our newest acquisition. I think it’s important to learn the ins and outs of marchetti and maximize the value to jabot.

Mariah: Hmm. Synergy.

Kyle: Exactly. You know, it’s been fun running the family business with my dad, and I learned more than I could have picked up in any other situation, but when summer came to me with this proposition, I couldn’t say no.

Mariah: And how did jack take the news?

Kyle: He’s all for it, happy for me, just like I hope you will be eventually.

Mariah: You being home is amazing. I mean,you’ve even had a positive effect on summer, who’s come back from italy, dare I say it, likeable?

Kyle: Finally!

[ Laughter ] These past couple years, especially the time we spent away, proved one thing — summer truly is the love of life.

Phyllis: Summer, I’m doing my level best to keep the peace. That’s what I’m doing. But you heard the princess of passive-aggressive behavior, didn’t you?

[ High-pitched voice ] Acting like — like she’s a sweet little angel, that she’s a little baby that’s just been born. Ooh!

[ Normal voice ] Ugh.

Summer: What I heard was diane not taking the bait from you. Look, I know that this isn’t easy. I get that. But I love that you’re trying. I really do. So please just keep it up for me and for kyle. We are counting on you to take the high road here.

Phyllis: Okay. I’ll take the high road. That’s what I’m gonna do. The high road. It’s uncharted territory. Just…

Summer: Thank you.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] You’re welcome. Let me ask you something. I mean, do you really think that it’s a good idea to have diane working at marchetti? I mean, do you really think so? Because, summer, we don’t know what’s gone on in her life, only what she’s told us. And she could revert back to form. I mean, that is her M.O.

Summer: Are you trying to make trouble for diane right now?

Phyllis: No, I am not. I am trying to protect you. That’s all I’m trying to do, is protect you, summer. Got it?

Summer: Okay. Look, mom —

Phyllis: You were a little girl. You don’t remember what she was like, and you don’t know exactly what she did to me and others in this town.

Summer: Okay, just… stop it, please. Diane — she’s just eager to get back to work, to start a new career here. And kyle and I are just trying to set her up for success in that because it’s the right thing to do for everyone.

Phyllis: Oh, gosh. You’ve become a believer, haven’t you? Wow. You’ve accepted diane as entrusted member of this family. And kyle — he’s just welcomed her back, no problems, no questions. And jack probably feels the same, doesn’t he? Am I right?

Summer: [ Sighs ]

Noah: I have unearthed something so incredible, so exciting, I know you’re gonna love it just as much as I do.

Allie: Okay. Do I get a clue?

Noah: You know, it’s funny that you should mention clues because it’s an old radio mystery show. Listen to the story, find all the evidence, solve the crime.

Allie: Oh, I can totally get into that.

Noah: [ Chuckles ]

Allie: Wait, but you could’ve, you know, saved yourself a trip and just texted me the link.

Noah: See, that’s the thing. It’s actually not online. Trust me. I looked. A friend of mine turned me onto it. I made some recordings, and… I got you this. It’s an mp3 player. That way, you can listen to it.

Allie: [ Laughs ] Wow. Wow. Ancient technology.

Noah: I know. I know.

Allie: No, I think I’ve heard of these things. You really are full of surprises, aren’t you?

Noah: I can be.

Allie: Uh, well, so, how does this work? Uh, let’s — let’s give it a listen and see if it lives up to the hype.

Noah: Yeah, let’s do it.

Allie: Yeah.

Noah: [ Sighs ]

Allie: So, is there a power button, or should I just, you know, hold it and make a wish?

Noah: [ Laughs ] It’s right there.

Allie: Wow. Would you look at that.

Noah: [ Chuckles ]

Allie: Okay, so, what about speakers?

Noah: Oh, yes.

[ Sighs ]

[ Chuckles ] There you go.

Allie: Amazing.

Noah: Voil. Alright, let’s give it a listen.

Allie: Wait. Now?

Noah: Yeah, I want to see your reaction.

Allie: Oh, no, no, I don’t like being observed like that. Makes me feel like a science experiment.

Noah: [ Chuckles ]

Allie: Now you’re part of the problem.

Noah: Okay, and together we will find the solution.

[ Scoffs ] Look at me, making science jokes. Who am I?

Allie: Oh, god. [ Chuckles ]

Noah: Alright, let’s do this and solve a crime.

[ Click ]

Allie: [ Chuckles ] Kids can change minds…

Summer: The question isn’t whether we’ve all accepted diane, it’s why do you feel the need to plant seeds of doubt.

Phyllis: Because someone needs to be the voice of reason.

Summer: I think that this is about more than your history with diane. I think that something happened in your recent past that is driving your behavior right now. Mom, are you ever gonna tell me why you and jack broke up? I know that it had something to do with diane.

Phyllis: What’s done is done, summer.

[ Sighs ] Look…

Summer: Mom… if you did something, if you made a mistake, if you did something to push jack away, I’m not gonna judge you. Just be honest with me.

Phyllis: Okay, I think it’s very interesting that you think

i was the one who was wrong.

Summer: Mom, you were the one that told me that you screwed up. You told me that. And then you proceeded to minimize everything. But you guys aren’t together anymore. This isn’t just a bump in the road. This is a sinkhole with caution tape and orange cones around it. What happened between you guys?

Phyllis: You should ask jack.

Summer: I’ve asked jack. He says that there’s nothing to tell.

Phyllis: Okay, well, then there’s nothing to tell. Accept that.

Summer: I’m not gonna accept it, because I care about you. I care about you and I care about jack. I can see that you’re both hurting. I can tell that jack is heartbroken over this.

Phyllis: Okay. [ Sighs ] I mean, I’m not happy about that.

Summer: What aren’t you happy about? You know, summer… honestly, I… cannot accept… that jack has just… let diane back into the family… after everything that bitch has done to me. And he just expects me to be fine and go along with it. I cannot do that. And I’m sorry about what happened. And — and I do feel bad.

Summer: What are you sorry about, exactly? Please, mom, just… walk me through it, step by step. What happened between you guys?

Phyllis: [ Sighs ]

Noah: Well, the music is pretty spooky, already.

Allie: Shh! I thought you were ready.

Noah: I was born ready.

Allie: Yeah, that explains a lot.

Noah: [ Chuckles ]

[ Gasps ] That’s it.

[ Both laugh ] Wait, why would she —

Allie: Shh!

Noah: Okay.

[ Both laugh ] I told you.

Allie: [ Sighs ]

Noah: [ Sighs ]

Allie: Wow.

Noah: What do you think, so far?

Allie: [ Laughs ] That was awesome. It was like we stepped into a time machine, you know, and — and the sound effects.

Noah: Oh, yeah, puts you right in the story. Ominous organ music.

Allie: The drama. Oh, I am so here for it.

Noah: [ Chuckles ]

Allie: It’s almost like I’d forgotten that we aren’t, you know, in the streets of london on the coldest night in the middle of 1918.

Noah: [ Chuckles ]

Allie: [ Sighs ] This was perfect, you know? Way better than a movie.

Noah: Yeah, but, you know, a movie does have one thing that this doesn’T.

Allie: Popcorn?

Noah: Can you make some?

Allie: Oh, can I make some?

Noah: Of course. What, you’re an expert popcorn maker, too?

Allie: Okay, okay, I will just say that it’s simple science. All you need to do is just add heat and then, you know, don’t let it burn. I am kind of a phenom when it comes to popping corn, so…

Noah: Alright, let’s see it. Hey, uh, where do you think you’re going with that, miss?

Allie: I’m taking the mystery with me.

Noah: What, you think I’m gonna skip ahead?

Allie: You know, maybe one day, when we get to know each other better, I’ll be able to leave this with you unsupervised, but for now…

Noah: Okay, yeah. Yeah, you’re right. There’s still a lot of things we, uh, don’t know about each other.

Allie: Yeah, exactly.

Noah: So I’ll go with you.

Allie: Uh, what? You don’t trust me?

Noah: No. You don’t know how much butter i like on my popcorn, and that’s really something that ought to be supervised.

Allie: You actually think I’m gonna skip ahead?

Noah: Listen, allie, maybe one day, way, way in the future, when we get to know each other a little bit more, maybe then I’ll feel comfortable leaving you unsupervised. But, for now, consider me your shadow.

Allie: Alright, shadow. Let’s go pop some corn.

Elena: Hey.

Mariah: Hi.

Elena: I am so sorry I’m late.

Mariah: Is everything okay at memorial?

Elena: Uh, yeah, it is. It’s me. I’m the problem. I’m going to this medical convention in hawaii, and I am the great procrastinator when it comes to packing.

Kyle: Hmm

Elena: [ Chuckles ]

Kyle: That’s my cue. Uh, I need to go meet my dad. You’ll take care of these two?

Elena: It would be my pleasure.

Kyle: Mm-hmm. Tessa, you’re in good hands. All you need to do is take care of yourself. I’ll see you later.

Elena: See ya.

Mariah: Bye.

Tessa: Bye.

Elena: Let’s have a seat.

Tessa: We’re good. Do you want a coffee or anything?

Elena: No, I’m okay.

Mariah: Yeah, elena has a plane to catch. Probably just wants to give us her opinion.

Elena: Well, first, I know how anxious you must be. So let’s just take a breath, and we’ll do this step by step.

Tessa: Okay, that’s not really my strong suit.

Elena: [ Chuckles ] Your situation seems very similar to what my uncle went through. So, what questions do you have for me?

Tessa: Only one. Is my singing career over?

For your most brilliant smile,

crest has you covered.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Elena: I can’t even imagine how frightened you must be. But after talking to your doctor, and with my own experience with my uncle jett, i believe you can and will recover and be able to get back to your career.

Tessa: Oh, thank god.

Mariah: [ Sighs ]

Elena: Unfortunately, there are no promises in medicine. But provided you continue to follow your doctor’s recommendations, you have every reason to be optimistic.

Tessa: How is your uncle now?

Elena: After his surgery, he went on a comeback tour.

Tessa: [ Sighs ]

Elena: [ Chuckles ] And he just released a new single a few months ago.

Tessa: [ Sighs ]

Mariah: So it’s possible?

Elena: Yeah.

Tessa: Okay, um, maybe I’m jumping the gun, but do you have any idea what a timeframe looks like?

Elena: That’s hard to predict, but I would think of this as more of a detour. You will get back on track once you fix the problem. But I don’t want you to rush your recovery.

Mariah: Okay, I’m going to tattoo that on my forehead, just to remind her.

[ Laughter ]

Elena: Your voice is like your instrument, right? If someone gave you a stradivarius violin, you would take care of it. You would protect it, right?

Tessa: Yeah. I — yeah, I understand.

Mariah: And, uh, the ent — she’s good?

Elena: She is highly respected. And my uncle jett cannot stop singing her praises. But if you want a second opinion, I am happy to send over more recommendations.

Tessa: Yeah, it couldn’t hurt. And, uh, thank you.

Elena: Yeah, sure.

Mariah: Are you feeling any better?

Tessa: Yeah. Thank you. Thank you so much.

Elena: Of course. And anytime. This is the part of my work that I love the most — telling people good news and making the scary stuff seem a lot more manageable. You’re gonna get through this.

Mariah: I never doubted it for a second.

Noah: [ Crunching popcorn ]

[ Click ]

Allie: Alright, time to place our bets.

Noah: That would be a complete waste of time. It’s obviously the third wife.

Allie: Whoa. It’s the ex-husband.

Noah: Uh…

Allie: Were we listening to the same program?

Noah: Okay, allie, you do realize that the whole object of this is to suss out the guilty party, right? Not the people least likely to have committed the crime. You might have —

Allie: Okay, you are totally ignoring their history.

Noah: It can’t be the husband.

Allie: Explain, but using facts.

Noah: Okay, one, he was devastated by his wife’s betrayal; two, he was seeing the ghost of his dead father; and, three, he was being haunted by the other ghost of his dead wife.

Allie: Right, skeletons in his closet, daily hauntings by spirits accusing him of murder.

Noah: No, no, no, no.

Allie: That still doesn’t put him on top of your suspect pile?

Noah: Emotions are not facts, because there’s incontrovertible proof that the third wife was involved.

Allie: Okay. Name it.

Noah: The neighbor said that they heard strange noises in the middle of the night.

Allie: She was walking in her sleep.

Noah: I think she was chasing her victims.

Allie: Okay, it is the husband, with an ax.

Noah: Unh-unh.

Allie: Mm-hmm.

Noah: Wife, with poison drinks. Alright, look, if you’re so sure of yourself, how about we make this a little bit more interesting.

Allie: It’s already interesting.

Allie: Oh. Oh, u mean like a friendly wager?

Noah: Mm-hmm.

Allie: Okay. Okay, what do you have in mind?

Noah: Alright, if I’m right, which I am, then you owe me six hours.

Allie: Of what?

Noah: Your life. We have to hang out, and you have to laugh at every single one of my jokes.

Allie: Oh, my god.

Noah: Now, it’s up to me whether I want to spread these hours out a little bit or use them all at once.

Allie: Okay. Besides you really knowing how to torture a person, I would go with that. If I win, you have to come running with me.

Noah: That’s not much of a consequence. I’d do that anyway.

Allie: I’m considering training for a marathon, so…

Noah: Okay, um… deal.

Allie: Deal.

Billy: Alright, now let’s shut up and find out…

Noah: Alright.

Allie: …Who is gonna win.

[ Click ]

Kyle: Hey, how was your meeting with lander?

Jack: It went great. He sends his congratulations on your new position.

Kyle: Nice of him. Now that we got business out of the way, how are you?

Jack: I hope this isn’t another interrogation about the nature of my relationship with phyllis.

Kyle: I know she’s a touchy subject.

Jack: I am not exactly champing at the bit to share the intricacies of my romantic life with my son.

Kyle: You think I want to talk about your love life? I said I would stay out of it —

Jack: You don’t have enough going on in your own life? You have marchetti, a young family. You shared with me, you still don’t know if you can trust diane.

Kyle: I need to know if she did something underhanded or duplicitous. Now that she’s working for me and marchetti, I can’t get summer’s initial suspicions that my mother was involved out of my head.

Jack: Okay, your mother’s career and my personal life have nothing to do with each other.

Kyle: I can’t be sure about that until you tell me what’s going on. At mariah’s wedding, you and phyllis seemed genuinely happy, and I know you spent the night together. You admitted as much. But then something went wrong.

Jack: Yeah, details of which are no one else’s business but ours.

Kyle: The other night, when phyllis saw all of us together, she looked said and lost. She was trying to keep it civil, but it was clearly difficult for her, and it wasn’t lost on me that my mother was stirring the pot by inviting her over to join us and toasting her.

Jack: It was not an ideal situation.

Kyle: I need you to be completely honest with me, because I need to know if this new relationship I’m building with my mother will work. I want to know if everything she’s doing is aboveboard. So, dad, just tell me. Did my mother do something to sabotage what was happening between you and phyllis?

Jack: I am only going to tell you this because I don’t want you misinterpreting or blaming diane for this situation. I might not trust her, but that’s not fair to her.

Kyle: Okay. I just want to know the truth.

Jack: Yes, I honestly thought phyllis and I were in a good place. Our friendship was strong. We agreed that we weren’t gonna rush anything, we’re gonna take our time. She was there for me when i learned about keemo there in D.A., When I met allie. Of course, that brought in diane. Even that, I thought that would bond us somehow, both finding out that she was alive. I just thought we were in a better place, that maybe there was a chance we could move on to the next level.

Phyllis: Things were going well between me and jack. They were going well. We were in synch, and it was great. And then I screwed up. I just screwed up, and I made a mistake. And it was like the old me.

[ Sighs ] I regret what I did. I shouldn’t have done it. But… summer, having that woman come back into my life, I can’T. I mean, it turned everything upside-down. I mean, jack doesn’t understand. He doesn’t get it. And I regret what I did, and i told him I regret what I did. But, I mean, it was just a knee-jerk reaction, that’s all, because that woman pushes my buttons. She gets to me.

[ Voice breaking ] And sometimes I feel like I’m losing control.

[ Sobs ]

Jack: That is when I realized there was a connection between the two, that this thing between us had escalated, had grown physical because of diane’s reappearance.

Kyle: You don’t think phyllis would intentionally use you like that? She might be reckless, but she doesn’t lie about her feelings.

Jack: That’s the thing. It doesn’t matter if what she’s feeling is real. It’s just as real that she went back to the way she was in the old days. I’m telling you, her worse attributes came out to play as soon as diane came back. All the things she claims she had gotten beyond, all the things that I argued with her, that she’d outgrown. Turns out I was wrong. Turns out that’s not possible.

Kyle: Almost sounds like you’re more willing to give the benefit of the doubt to my mother than phyllis.

Jack: I have decades of history with her, son. She always reverts to type. It’s like a rubber band snapping back. She can’t help herself. She’s got to get her jabs in! She’s got to punish diane, and she can’t just stop. She can’t help herself, and i can’t live with the constant threat that she’s going back to her old self.

Kyle: I mean, I still don’t understand. What exactly did phyllis do?

Jack: She made sure diane witnessed what I foolishly thought was… an intimate, meaningful moment between us.

Phyllis: But what jack refuses to believe is that it didn’t make what happened between us any less important. Of course it was important. I mean, did I want to stick diane’s nose into it? Yeah, I did. Did I escalate things because diane was in town? Yeah! But it doesn’t make him less important to me. And what he doesn’t understand is that — that my feelings were sincere and my feelings are real. He doesn’t — he doesn’t seem to understand that.

Summer: Okay, let me see if i have all of this straight. You moved forward with things with jack, and as much as it was about the bond that you guys shared, it was also about making a point to diane? You were, like, marking your territory?

Noah: Alright, this is it.

Allie: Shh.

Noah: Now, I hope you’re ready for total and complete humiliation, ’cause it’s about to happen.

Allie: Oh, do you, um — do you cry when you lose? I-I just want to know. It’s completely acceptable, but in case I have to get you tissues or call someone to calm you down.

Noah: Oh, yeah, yeah, I cry. I’m gonna be crying with laughter as I watch you suss through all the clues that you’ve gathered and wound up with the wrong conclusion.

Allie: [ Chuckles ] You wish.

Noah: No, I hate to break it to you, but I think your career as a detective is gonna be over before it’s even begun. Alright, I’m done, I’m done. Let’s lock back in. Come on.

Allie: Oh, oh, are we gonna listen to this and find out who the culprit is, or are you just gonna keep talking trash and embarrassing yourself? Because, you know, that’s fine, too.

Noah: Wow, you really are an abbott.

Allie: Spoken like a true newman.

Noah: [ Chuckles ]

Allie: [ Chuckles ]

[ Click ] Ax. See?

Noah: Mnh-mnh. Arsenic. I told you.

Allie: Minor detail.

Noah: Wait. What —

Allie: Shh!

Noah: The best friend?

Allie: The best friend? How?

Noah: We must have missed something.

Allie: No, that makes no logical sense — zero.

Noah: [ Sighs ] Drang, how does it feel to be so phenomenally wrong?

Allie: Okay, no, you were wrong, too.

Noah: Oh, but not nearly as wrong as you.

Allie: Oh, there are no shades of wrong. Incorrect is incorrect.

Noah: Okay.

Allie: You — I’m sorry, but you are never gonna rise above the ranks of a “mediocre armchair detective.”

Noah: It’s true. Neither will you.

Allie: This was fun. It’s a cute gift. You know, how did you know that I like antiques? I can probably sell this to a museum one day.

Noah: Guess you’ll have to hold on to it, then.

Allie: Yeah. I guess I will.

Kyle: Couldn’t have been easy, finding out that phyllis used you like that. I’m sorry, dad.

Jack: Yeah, you live and you learn.

Jack: I really thought you two would make it work this time.

Jack: So did I.

Kyle: I mean, to be honest… this is concerning. If phyllis still hates my mother that much, to the extent where she would use you to drive her point home, are they headed for a showdown?

Jack: I don’t know. I hope not. But the thought has crossed my mind.

Kyle: Phyllis claimed to my mother that the past was behind them. But if it was that easy for her to relapse, who’s to say she won’t do it again? And if our mothers go to war, what could that do to me and summer?

Phyllis: What was gonna happen between jack and I was inevitable. It was gonna happen. I pushed it along. Did I stick diane’s nose in it? Yeah, I did. And you know what? It felt good, and it was a bonus. But jack knows me well enough to know that I’m sorry. I am sorry, and my feelings for him are real. They are real. They are. And it’s not some act of retribution. It’s not. Really.

Summer: Mom, I’m not judging you, but I do think that jack is one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. And he deserves to be loved and adored and cared for. He deserves a lot better treatment than what you showed him.

Next week on “the young and the restless”…

Sally: “Chile mitchell, C.P.A. Of newman media.” Has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?

Victoria: No more ashland. He’s gone, and he’s out of our lives for good.

Ashland: This time, the target will be much more manageable. Hmm? My wife. [ Sighs ]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jack: [Sighs]

Steve: Jack, I thought we were meeting you at the church.

Jack: [Sighs] Yeah, yeah, I just–I had to get out of the house.

Steve: What happened?

Jack: Gwen called and offered her condolences, and jj… jj didn’t react well.

Kayla: What did he do?

Jack: I don’t really wanna go into it. I wanna talk about abigail.

Kayla: That’s what we’re here for.

Jack: Good, all right, so where are you at? Well, come on. Come on, I’m ready to hear it. Tell me what your latest thinking is.

Steve: Jack…

Jack: Please, steve, talk to me. Tell me who killed my daughter.

Anna: Ej, you were here the night that abigail was attacked. Did you see anyone skulking around, perhaps a british brunette with a very large chip on her shoulder?

Ej: [Clears throat] I, um– no, I was out most of the evening. Shortly after I got back, I heard chad screaming for help and found him holding abigail as she was slipping away.

Anna: Oh, that poor man. I can’t even imagine how awful that must’ve been, walking into his room, finding his wife bleeding to death on their very own bed. I was taking my antidepressant daily,

Lucas: Why would your mother’s kidnapping have anything to do with abigail’s murder?

Will: Because she reached out to me.

Lucas: Who did?

Will: Abigail. She was doing an investigative piece for “the spectator” and asked if we could compare notes.

Lucas: But why would she think you’d know anything?

Will: Because my mom was the victim, and since I’m a reporter too, she probably figured that I’d wanna find out the truth.

Lucas: Wait, so I still don’t get the connection between the murder and the kidnapping.

Will: Abigail called me the night before she died.

Lucas: So?

Will: So I’m sure I’m not the only person that she called. What if someone she tried to tap as a source wasn’t happy that she was looking into this?

Lucas: I guess they wouldn’t talk to her.

Will: And what if word got out to someone directly involved in mom’s kidnapping?

Lucas: I still don’t know where you’re going with this.

Will: Dad, whoever kidnapped mom obviously had a very personal reason to wanna shut abigail down. What if they did? What if they were so desperate to keep her from finding out the truth and putting it out there that they killed her?

Jack: You must have a lead, a suspect, something.

Steve: I’m sorry, jack. Nothing yet. You told me that you were gonna lend your expertise to the police, use your extensive experience as a pi to help them solve this case.

Steve: I am.

Jack: Really? Well, it looks like you’re just sitting here casually just drinking coffee while the rest of us are out there trying to actually find the animal who killed my daughter! Steve, I–you know, I’ve–

Steve: It’s okay. Hey, it’s okay.

Jack: I just–I need something, please. Give me something, something, anything, please.

Kayla: You know, I read that some jewelry was taken from abigail’s bedroom. I mean, don’t they think that maybe it could’ve been a robbery?

Steve: Well, rafe is trying to track down what was taken and see if that leads anywhere.

Jack: But you don’t think it will.

Steve: I think the jewelry is significant, but my instincts are telling me that robbery was not the motive.

Jack: Why not?

Steve: Because nothing else of value was taken from the house, and–

Jack: And? And what?

Steve: Never mind.

Jack: Oh, please, please, no. Steve, you got to tell me. Please?

Steve: The way she was attacked, it seems personal.

Kayla: You think that the person who did this knew her?

Steve: That is what the knife suggests to me.

Kayla: [Sighs]

Steve: It wasn’t random or circumstantial. I think she was targeted.

Jack: Why? If abigail wasn’t killed because she walked in on a robbery, then why? What reason would someone have to want to hurt her?

Ej: [Sighs]

Tony: [Sighs] I’m so sorry about abigail.

[Sighs]

Anna: Mm.

[Sobs] I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry for what I said just now.

Chad: Ah, it’s fine–

Anna: No, it’s not. It was really insensitive. But I didn’t realize you were standing right there.

[Sniffles] How are thomas and charlotte doing?

Chad: They seem okay. I have a number for a therapist if they need to talk to someone. They’re at john and marlena’s right now, getting ready for the funeral.

Tony: They’re coming?

Chad: Yeah. Marlena thinks that it’ll be a good idea mainly because they’re… they’re having a hard time accepting the fact that their mom’s gone. So, um… you know, it’ll just–marlena thinks that it’ll help with the grieving process for them to be able to say goodbye.

Jj: Damn, I sh–I shouldn’t have said that about gwen.

Jennifer: Oh, no, jj, it’s okay. Emotions are running very high right now–

Jj: Which is why I should’ve kept my mouth shut. I didn’t mean to upset dad.

Jennifer: I know, I know, I know.

Jj: It’s just, she called. It set me off. She was horrible to abigail.

Jennifer: Yes, she was.

Jj: Well, at least she’s in a cell now.

Jennifer: Yes, and that is absolutely where she deserves to be. But it makes your father very sad because he really wanted abigail and gwen to make peace so he could have both his daughters in his life, and now…

Jj: He still has me. You both do.

Jennifer: I know. Of course we do, and thank god for that. Anyway, after gwen’s wedding went all to hell, I told your father that I would support whatever he decided he wanted his relationship with gwen to be, but that I would never trust her again.

Jj: And you still feel that way?

Jennifer: Well, yes. I would support your father no matter what.

Jj: I swear, mom, you are a saint.

Jennifer: Oh, no.

[Chuckles] Hardly. But I do try to put myself in your dad’s shoes, and he loves gwen, and when you’re a parent, nothing your child does will ever make you stop loving them.

Jj: I’ve come close a couple times.

Jennifer: Oh, no, no, no, no. Parents may feel anger or disappointment, but that doesn’t change the love. That is forever. When your child is born, they take a piece of your heart. Everything that they feel– pain, joy, love– you feel that right along with them… and when you lose your child, you lose that piece of your heart.

[Crying]

[Dramatic music]

Limu emu

Kate: Jack, I’m so sorry about abigail.

Jack: Thank you, thank you.

Kate: You know that chad is like a son to me, and abigail made him so happy. She was a loving mother and such a loving wife. She’s a wonderful person. I admired her. My condolences to both of you as well.

Steve: Thanks.

Kayla: Thanks, kate.

Kate: So I just couldn’t help overhearing, as I was walking up, you are investigating what happened?

Steve: Well, not officially, just helping out.

Kate: Mm-hmm. Your brother or the police?

Steve: Both.

Kayla: Steve, and roman, and all of us are determined to find out who did this and get justice for abigail.

Kate: Of course. I’m just a little surprised that you’re discussing it today.

Steve: Well, everyone is anxious to get answers. I’m sure you understand, given what you’re going through with your son, with philip.

Kate: Yes–well, yes, but I guess I just assumed that you would be focusing on celebrating abigail’s life, honoring what she meant to all of us, being grateful for all of the people who understand what a tremendous loss it is, and sharing in our grief.

Jack: You’re right. I should be going. I’ll see you all at the service.

Kayla: We’ll see you there.

Lucas: If you think the kidnapper and the murderer are the same person, that means ej killed abigail.

Will: Wasn’t ej’s conviction overturned?

Lucas: Doesn’t mean he’s innocent.

Will: Didn’t the devil plant evidence on his computer?

Lucas: Listen, he framed an already guilty man, okay? This whole thing points at ej. It does; he’s ruthless, he’s heartless. He wanted your mother to pay.

Will: I know you hate him, but do you really think ej would stab abigail to death? Abigail was his family.

Lucas: You’re right. You’re right, okay? Maybe that’s a little bit too far, even for him, even if he was in a dark place, and his back was against the wall.

[Sighs] You know what? We should get to the church. Why don’t I give you a lift?

Will: No, I’m, uh, I’m meeting sonny. I’ll see you over there.

Lucas: You sure?

Will: Yeah.

Lucas: Okay. I love you.

Will: Love you.

Lucas: Hey, listen, about your theory about ej, son, I wouldn’t tell chad about this.

Will: Dad, the man’s about to bury his wife. Do you really think I would just tell him that maybe his brother was the one who killed her?

[Dramatic music]

Chad: Will’s in town, so he and sonny drove me over here so I could get dressed for the funeral.

Ej: We have a little time, so why don’t you visit with tony and anna, then I’ll have harold press your suit.

Chad: I’m sure that it’s fine.

Ej: I was gonna have him freshen up some of my wardrobe anyway, so why don’t I get him to bring your suit to my room, and–

Chad: Stop, all right? I know what you’re doing, and I appreciate it, but I have to go in the room at some point.

Anna: But it doesn’t have to be today.

Chad: I’ll be all right. I can do it.

We really had our hands full with our two-year-old.

Kayla: I don’t know why I agreed to do this. I should’ve told jack to find somebody else–find somebody who can write.

Steve: [Sighs] Baby, you’re overthinking it.

Kayla: No, I don’t want to disappoint anybody.

[Sighs] Especially abigail, not the way I disappointed her that night.

Steve: Sweetness, please.

Kayla: I know that I did everything in my power to save her. But I couldn’t! I mean, the least I could do is let everybody know how much she means to me. I just don’t know how.

[Chuckles] What are you doing?

Steve: Telling you how much you mean to me. You understood that, right?

Kayla: You said you loved me.

Steve: I didn’t say anything. But I did speak from my heart. I expressed myself. That’s all you need to do. Nobody knows how to do that better than you.

Jack: Where’s your mother?

Jj: She’s upstairs trying to find the necklace abigail gave her.

Jack: I should help her find that.

Jj: Hey, dad, I’m sorry about what I said before. I shouldn’t have blown up like that, especially today.

Jack: I shouldn’t have stormed out.

Jj: Well, you’re angry. I’m angry too.

Jack: You are certainly entitled to your feelings about gwen after everything that she did to this family.

Jj: I’m not angry about gwen. I’m angry about abigail.

[Sniffles] Why did this happen?

Jack: I don’t know.

Jj: I miss her. I miss her.

Jack: Me too, son. Me too.

Anna: Jennifer wrote such a lovely tribute to abigail.

Ej: Mm, she really did.

Tony: But how sad for a mother to have to write her own daughter’s obituary.

Anna: Oh. It’s an unimaginable loss, mostly, of course, for abigail’s immediate family, but for all of us really. I honestly don’t know how we’re all supposed to go on without her.

[Soft music]

My asthma felt anything but normal.

Steve: All done?

Kayla: I think so. Thank you. You really helped me.

Steve: Good, I’m glad.

Kayla: You know, when you signed to me, I realized that I was limiting myself, thinking there was only one way to express my feelings about abigail. But that’s not true. There are words that I can use that say how much I love her without writing a eulogy.

Steve: What do you mean?

Kayla: I have been a part of so many ceremonies where somebody read something beautiful, and moving, and so suited to the occasion, but they didn’t write it themselves.

Steve: You mean like a song?

Kayla: Or maybe a poem. I remember abigail telling me that she loved E.E. Cummings. So I thought who better to help me express how much I loved her. You wanna hear it?

Steve: Yeah.

Kayla: “I carry your heart with me. I carry it in my heart. I am never without it. Anywhere I go, you go, my dear, and whatever is done by only me, is your doing, my darling.”

Jennifer: [Crying]

[Sighs]

[Soft music]

Kayla: “I fear no fate…” “for you are my fate, my sweet.”

“I want no world, for beautiful you are my world, my true… and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.”

Tony: [Sighs]

Kayla: “Here is the deepest secret nobody knows. Here is the root of the root, and the bud of the bud, and the sky of the sky of a tree called life, which grows higher than a soul can hope or a mind can hide, and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart. I carry your heart.”

“I carry it in my heart.”

[ Cheerful music ]

Hope: Now, if I had come home just a little bit sooner, I could have joined you in the shower.

Liam: Uh-huh. And apparently, if I had come home a little bit sooner, I might not have missed all the fireworks. Did paris and carter really not get married?

Hope: Oh, yeah, no. Their relationship pretty much imploded right in front of our eyes.

Liam: Oh, no. Let me guess.

Hope: Huh? I don’t know. I think you might guess wrong.

Liam: What? Really?

Hope: Uh-huh.

Liam: Because I feel, like–

Hope: Try.

Liam: Obviously, either her mom or zende. No? Well, who have– well– well, who else would want to stop that wedding?

Hope: Oh. Your brother’s mother? Quinn.

Quinn: You look as shocked as I feel.

Carter: You’re shocked? You– you rushed in and stopped my wedding.

Quinn: God, I can’t believe I did that.

Carter: Neither can I. But I don’t think paris is feeling what we are.

[ Quinn sighing ]

Quinn: No.

Carter: I should talk to her.

Quinn: I’ll be waiting right here.

Carter: I like the sound of that.

Paris: Carter said that it was over quinn. That he didn’t want to be with her. That he was ashamed–

Grace: He should be ashamed for breaking your heart this way. Now, do you see the kind of man carter really is? So sorry, sweetheart.

[ Knocking on door ]

Carter: I realize I’m the last person you want to see right now. S I’m sorry sounds hollow right now, but I am. I’m deeply sorry for hurting you, paris. I wasn’t honest about my feelings for quinn. Yes, I lied. But I did want to make you happy. I want to make you feel respected and adored. Because that’s what you deserve. And it’s going to happen. He’s out there. A man who truly deserves you.

Sheila: Wake up henry, baby.

[ Heart monitor beeping ] Come on, open those eyes so that I know you’re all right.

[ Knocking ]

Mike: Hello? It’s mike. You there?

[ Heart monitor beeping ] Got your message. Wow. I missed you, too. Oh, this can’t be good.

Sheila: I need your help, mike.

Mike: I got you out of jail. You need me to buy you a bus ticket, too?

Sheila: I can’t leave him.

Mike: Is that finn? Your son that you killed?

Paris: I feel like a fool.

Grace: No. You were in love. And that is not foolish. But putting your faith in another person that way, that’s foolish. I wish carter had been worthy of your love, but he wasn’T. You always see the best in people. And I never want you to lose that and become cynical.

Zende: I agree.

Quinn: Mm. Hm. Is paris okay?

Carter: No. But she will be.

Quinn: It must have been hard.

Carter: Yeah, but it’s time to be honest.

[ Quinn sighing ]

Quinn: There’s a lot of that going around today.

Carter: Come on. Let’s go home.

Mike: Your son’s alive? What in the flying–

Sheila: Apparently, his adoptive mother was taking care of him here. I thought I killed him, but I didn’T.

Mike: They put you in jail for murder. You had me spring you from the slammer, and you’re not even guilty?

Sheila: No. I was never guilty, mike. Shooting finn was just a terrible accident.

Mike: What about shooting his wife? And escaping from jail, that was no accident. We both have that hanging over our heads now.

Sheila: Yeah, but if you hadn’t done that for me, I never would have seen my son again. And now, I need you to help me keep him alive.

Meet ron.

Zende: You’re going to bounce back from this stronger than ever, more beautiful inside and out. If that’s even possible.

Grace: That is so kind of you, zende. You are a true gentleman.

Paris: Always has been. Well, I don’t know about you two, I am ready to get out of here.

Paris: Me too.

Grace: All right. I will put our things in the car and then we can head home, okay?

Zende: Actually, grace, I’d like to take paris home. If she doesn’t mind.

Quinn: Thank you for letting me freshen up.

Carter: And thank you for telling me everything that happened with eric.

[ Quinn sighing ] And everything you did to get to me.

Quinn: Oh.

[ Quinn laughing ]

Carter: This is unreal.

[ Carter laughing ]

Quinn: Yeah, I know. We’re… back where it all started

Carter: With you opening up to me. Telling me how you really felt.

Quinn: I can never hide anything from you, carter.

Carter: You didn’t hold back today.

Quinn: I didn’T. Do you remember the first time that we told each other, “I love you?” It was right here in this loft.

Carter: Mm. Do you remember the first time we kissed?

Quinn: It was right here in this loft. Do you remember the first time we made love?

Carter: It was right here in this loft.

Liam: Paris must be devastated right now.

Hope: Yeah, she is.

Liam: I knew something was up because I got this cryptic text from my dad that was like, “oh, weddings with the forresters are never boring.” And I just went, “oh, no.” But, hey, on the bright side, at least it wasn’t sheila that showed up.

Hope: Oh. Ridge was actually worried about that and he hired a bunch of security for the restaurant. Oh, here at the house, too! Have you see those big dudes down at the front gate? Like, they’re scary.

Hope: Oh, yeah. Have you been to forrester or steffy’s house?

Liam: Yeah. I mean, I’ve– I’ve been keepin’ in touch. Doesn’t mean I don’t miss kelly. But uh, honestly, I’m so glad she and hayes and steffy are far, far away from all of this.

Hope: Yeah, all the security probably would have been a little scary for her.

Liam: Yeah, it would. I mean, steffy said she’s trying to make it feel like a– like a vacation. But ah, it just breaks my heart because I know she never got to have that vacation with finn. I mean, the two of them really wanted to go to monaco together.

Hope: Well, they thought they would have more time.

Liam: And sheila robbed them of that.

Hope: It’s crazy thinking that she’s still out there. What is she going to do next?

Sheila: And there’s nothing more?

Mike: Just that steffy left the country. She– she took the kids with her. What do you expect me to do about this? You’re the nurse.

Sheila: Yeah, but the jail has infanmary. You can bring me what I need to help keep finn alive.

Mike: But where’s his other mom? Is– isn’t she some big time doctor or something? You said she was keeping him alive.

Sheila: She can’t anymore.

Mike: Why not?

[ Car crashing ]

[ Explosion booming ]

[ Tires screeching ]

[ Splashing ]

[ Fire roaring ] Oh, no, sheila. You didn’t do something to her, did you?

Sheila: Well, I– I didn’t intend to kill her.

Mike: Kill her?

Sheila: She was gonna rat me out, mike. She took off in a car. I– I chased her. She lost control. It wasn’t my fault. It was an accident.

Mike: Well, those happen around you a lot. And I might want to remember that.

Sheila: I am the only mother finn has now. Li is gone. He’s depending on me. It’s up to me to keep him alive. (Vo) red lobster’s seafood summerfest is fire!

Paris: You want to take me home? After everything that I’ve done?

Zende: You’ve kind of had a rough day.

Paris: Zende. You don’t have to feel sorry for me.

Zende: I don’t feel sorry for you. I feel sorry for carter. He just gave up… the best thing that could have ever happened to him. So, how about that ride?

Paris: I’d like that. A lot.

[ Quinn moaning ]

[ Carter sighing ]

Quinn: You kn, this is not how I thought this day would end when I finished my cup of coffee this morning.

[ Carter laughing ]

Carter: Tell me about it.

[ Carter laughing ]

Quinn: I meant every word I said when I interrupted you earlier today.

[ Quinn sighing ] I can’t believe I thought I could live without this. Because I can’T. I tried to deny it for so long. But the one thing that I knew for sure from the moment I let you into my heart, is that I love you, carter.

Carter: I love you, too.

Sheila: Mike, please. You gotta help me. I need you.

Mike: Oh, it’s those three little words you know I can’t resist. Sheila, you make me do the craziest things.

Let me take care of this.

Old mikey’s on the job.

The situation is well in hand.

If these samples were really

important, she wouldn’t have

let you in here.

Nobody’s that stupid.

Sheila: Because you should

know better than anyone

what happens to my enemies.

Mike: Sheila!

[ Dog growling ]

Sheila: Welcome to

forrester creations, mike.

Glad to have you aboard.

[ Mike screaming ] You’re the one person I can always depend on. Everyone else, they– they let me down or– or they decieve me. But never you.

Mike: We’ve been through a lot together. But I didn’t break you out of jail so you could go on a crime spree. What happened to finn’s mother–

Sheila: I am his mother. I could have disappeared. I could have run away where nobody ever would have found me. But I didn’T. I stayed. I risked my future.

Mike: And mine.

Sheila: To take care of my son. Would a monster do that? A sociopath? No. I have changed. I’m– I’m really not the same person that I was.

Mike: With all due respect, sheila, you shot your son and your daughter-in-law and then you killed his adoptive mom. I don’t think you changed that much.

[ Finn grunting ]

[ Sheila gasping ]

Sheila: Finn? Finn?

Quinn: You got your wish.

Carter: Which one? I had a few that went like this.

Quinn: Of what our life would be if we ran away with each other.

Carter: Mm. I didn’t see it quite like this.

Quinn: Yeah, well, it’s without all the running. Although not for me. I did a lot of running today. And a lot of biking. And a lot of falling down.

Carter: Hmm. The beginning of the future we’ve always dreamed about.

[ Finn grunting ]

Sheilla: What is it, finn? What is it, baby? I’m trying. I just don’t know what to do. Why did li have to turn on me?

Mike: Sheila, if this is an emergency, you should go. I’ll call 9-1-1.

Sheila: No, I’m not going anywhere! Li set all of this up. She should be here.

Mike: Well, she’s not. You saw to that.

Sheila: Have they found the body? I mean, was there anything on the news?

Mike: No.

Sheila: That just doesn’t make any sense. You think she was washed out to sea or sharks?

Mike: Sheila, you should be more worried about people finding you than finding li. Look, I work in the prison system. Your escape is all they’re talking about. Whoever finds you, gonna get a big bonus. Look, I took a risk helping you. You promised me you’d behave. Now somebody else is dead.

Sheila: Yeah, well no one else is going to die.

Mike: Well, I hope not. But finn does not look good.

Sheila: Li was an amazing doctor and she took care of my son. I didn’t mean to hurt her. I swear that I– I need her. Finn needs her.

Mike: Well, she ain’t comin’ back.

Sheila: Finn. Finn. Finn.

[ Beeping quickens ] Finn! Oh, my gosh. Oh, no, he’s flatlining. No, finn. No, finn! Oh, my god, I killed him again.

[ Sobbing ] He’s dying. He’s dying! No, god, no. No, finn!

Update written by Chris

At ll Giardino, Paris recites her vows.  Carter waits for Paris to finish. Ridge shakes his head at Paris and Carter getting married.

Outside, Quinn rides up to ll Giardino on the bike. Quinn sets the bike down and runs in to the wedding. No one sees her yet.  Carter senses Quinn’s presence and turns, then sees her, standing there, shocked. He says her name.  Everyone at the wedding party looks up.

Katie and Donna chat at Brooke’s place. Donna mentions the increased security to keep them safe from Sheila. Katie points out that Ridge also has heavy security for both Brooke and Taylor.

Meanwhile, Taylor reads at home.  Thomas comes in from surfing; he’s staying with her to keep her safe, despite Ridge’s security.

Sheila is still with Finn and begs him to wake up. She hugs him, saying she can’t lose him again.

Taylor and Thomas sit down at a table to have fruit and talk about Sheila. She still blames herself for not seeing the real Sheila. She wonders if she’s still in L.A. Thomas wonders how Sheila can live with herself after killing her own son.

Carter asks Quinn why she’s at the wedding. She sees the ring in his hand and sighs with relief. She apologizes to everyone for interrupting but insists that she has something to say.

Thomas asks Taylor to let him know if she goes to the office or anywhere, so he can keep an eye on her. She just plans to work at home.  He also wonders if Taylor has spent time with Ridge. Taylor jokingly coughs “Parent Trap” into her hand. Taylor explains that if something happens, it’s great; but if not, it’s okay. Thomas hopes that Ridge realizes that his future is with her, not Brooke.

Donna explains to Katie about her love life with Eric.  Katie doesn’t know what to say at first.  She tells her that Eric said he loved her and that Quinn is going to ll Giardino to stop Carter’s wedding.

Back at ll Giardino, Paris tells Quinn that they’re in the middle of  their wedding and to leave.  Carter is stunned into silence aft first. He looks over at Ridge, who shakes his head. Bill says that this has got to be good. Quinn tells him that she still loves him and that things have changed. She states that she can’t let him go. The others in the room just shake their heads.

Taylor and Thomas look at her photos on the phone of Steffy’s kids.  She frets about how Sheila has ruined their lives.  Thomas agrees that life has changed for Steffy, but they’ll be all right. He steers the conversation back to Ridge, so she throws grapes playfully at him. He points out that Ridge is not technically back together with Brooke, so he thinks he may realize she’s better for him.

Katie is shocked that Quinn went to try and stop Carter from marrying Paris. She notes that there’s a lot to unpack there.  Katie asks Donna if Quinn’s marriage to Eric is over now.  Donna says that what she and Eric have is really beautiful.  Katie thinks that’s called love, and Donna agrees.

Back at the wedding, Quinn tells Carter what she feels in her heart about him. Ridge asks what this is all about. Quinn responds that this is about her love for Carter.  He asks about her marriage to Eric, so she holds up her left hand, which has no ring. She tells everyone that her marriage to Eric is over. She goes on to say that Eric wants to be with Donna. Ridge wants to know more, but Quinn tells him that they’ll discuss it later. She just wants to be with Carter, the man she loves.

Paris is annoyed when Quinn mentions that Carter doesn’t really want to marry her. Quinn gives a big speech about how much she loves Carter.  Paris implores him not to listen to Quinn.

Sheila says aloud, “Why did you lie to me, Li?” Then she has a flashback to Li’s SUV accident. Sheila tells Finn, “Mama’s here… I am always here.”

Donna and Katie continue to discuss Quinn going off to be with Carter.  Katie is happy about Donna being with Eric.

Back at ll Giardino, Ridge says they should give Quinn and Carter a chance to talk.  Paris is not having this and wants to be married to Carter. She insists that he make it clear to Quinn that he doesn’t want her.  Quinn tells Carter more about how much she loves him.

Carter turns to Paris; he takes her hand and kisses it gently.  Then he caresses her cheek.  Then Carter turns toward Quinn with a smile, and she runs into his arms. They kiss. Everyone else looks shocked.

Nikki: I hope you’re right about victoria, that whatever this plan of yours is, it will work.

Victor: Yeah, I don’t have any more news than what I’ve told you earlier, okay? But I have a good feeling about this.

Nikki: With very little basis for it.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Victor: Well, we’ll soon find out.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] Whatever that means.

Victor: It means that the pilot has some interesting news about the company jet. Hmm.

Nick: [ Sighs ]

Nikki: Hi, honey. You heading home?

Nick: Yeah, I got some work i got to do.

Victor: No, son, just hang on for a moment. You need to know this.

Nick: Know what? Is there news?

Victor: Well, the pilot has informed me that… victoria filed a flight plan to new york, and then right back to genoa city.

Nikki: [ Gasps ] She’s coming home?

Nick: How many passengers?

Victor: She’s by herself.

Nikki: Oh, thank god. Thank god.

Nick: Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, all right? We haven’t actually spoken to her, so we don’t know what any of this means.

Billy: Why so serious?

Ashland: Oh. What’s going on?

Sally: Chloe doesn’t have to be a fan of yours to be an amazing right hand for me.

Adam: [ Sighs ] You know what? You’re right. Just forget I said anything, okay? I want you to have whatever you need to do your best here.

Sally: Thank you. I appreciate that.

Adam: So if you think chloe is a good fit for coo of newman media, then bring her aboard. Convince her it’s a good fit, regardless of her feelings for me.

Sally: Well, if chloe really wants to end her partnership with chelsea, I want to scoop her up before anybody else does.

Adam: Well, like I said before, chelsea came by earlier. She was there to have me sign some papers for connor’s camp, but I could tell that she was, uh, struggling.

Sally: Because of rey rosales’ passing. Yeah, chloe said that she’s been having a hard time.

Adam: Connor is, too. But true to form, she’s using work as a crutch. She’s avoiding her emotional well-being, and it has created a rift between her and chloe.

Sally: Well, that’s an understatement, because based on what she told me, chloe is truly at the end of her rope.

Adam: Yeah. It’s gonna be even more of an issue if she decides to accept the gig to do a new line for marchetti.

Sally: What?

Adam: Mm.

Sally: Well, I knew the company was moving here, but why would marchetti switch designers?

Adam: I don’t know. I don’t know, but summer wants to hire chelsea, apparently.

Sally: Well, it’s an incredible opportunity.

Adam: But she already thinks chloe is trying to micromanage her. And chloe doesn’t want her to take the job at marchetti because she thinks she can’t even handle the workload she already has.

Sally: Well, do you think chloe’s right?

Adam: I know chloe is right, because I know chelsea, and I made my thoughts on that subject very clear.

Sally: How did she respond to that?

Adam: She got defensive and accused me of criticizing her. She just — she’s not listening to any reason.

I mean, chloe wouldn’t badmouth a friend, but I can tell she’s just about had it. Chelsea isn’t holding up her end of the partnership, which is causing a strain on their friendship, too. Though, maybe parting ways… is the best thing for both of them.

Chelsea: Let’s see if I have the whole list of sins. I’m inconsiderate, ungrateful, I don’t send 100 apologetic text messages when I’m gonna be 5 minutes late.

Chloe: It was over an hour, chelsea — this time. You’re bitchy to me, you pick fights, I am tap dancing every damn day around the people who actually make our clothes because you’ve suddenly decided that deadlines are optional.

Chelsea: I’ve been under a lot of stress, too, okay? In case you haven’t noticed.

Chloe: Oh, my god, I have noticed. It’s like I have —

[ Breathes deeply ] You’re allver the place. I can’t keep up. I mean, I have tried every way I know how to help you navigate your emotional ups and downs. Meanwhile, all I get is snark and putdowns. You call me controlling. Well, you’re impossible. Things can’t go on this way.

Chelsea: “Things can’t go on this way”? What do you mean by that, exactly?

Additional sponsorship

provided by… my blood pressure is borderline.

Sally: So, I have your blessing to make chloe an offer?

Adam: [ Breathes deeply ] Yes, madam C.E.O. Hire away.

Sally: Ooh, madam ceo — I like that. I just hope the timing is right.

Adam: Look, I know I said not to worry about chloe hating my guts, but she does. She always will, so… no matter how civil we are to each other.

Sally: Do you hate her back?

Adam: No. No, not at all. I didn’t have any issues with chloe when we were creating the fashion platform. In fact, in the brief time it was up and running, I thought we did some pretty good things. I just — I don’t know if it’s still a problem for her. That’s all.

Sally: Well, I mean, it’s not as though she’d be working for

you this time. She would be my direct report, and you promised me autonomy.

Adam: Mm-hmm, and you will have it, ’cause I have total faith in your judgment.

Sally: Well, if I had a nickel for every person who told me that, I would have… a nickel.

Adam: I don’t think our old conflicts are gonna be a stumbling block for chloe but just something to keep in mind when you’re negotiating with her.

Sally: Yeah. No, I will just focus on how great it is to work here and the fabulous job that I know she will do.

Adam: Great. Knowing the media arm is in good hands, now I can focus on other areas.

Sally: Oh. So the better chloe and I do, the less she’ll see of you.

Adam: Bonus.

Sally: Okay. Then I’m — I’m gonna do this.

Adam: Great. And, honestly, I think dissolving the partnership is gonna be good for chelsea in the long run. This way, she can take the job at marchetti.

Sally: I love how supportive you are of people who matter to you. Including me.

Adam: If I ever neglect to show you how grateful I am for you —

Sally: Never happen. Because I intend to make it easy for you to keep showing me… every day.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Adam: Um, someone has lousy timing.

Sally: Mm-hmm.

Adam: What the —

Sally: Problem?

Adam: The newman jet is en route to new york. I booked it to go to pittsburgh with connor for the game tonight.

Sally: Yeah, I remember. Some father-son time.

Adam: Yeah, well, now I have no way to get there. Um… it must have been dad who bumped me. He’s one of the few people that can make them.

Adam: I just — I don’t know why this sudden and urgent need to, uh, go to new york. Yeah. Hey, it’s adam newman. I got your text. Um, why is the jet going to new york? Who requested it? Victoria?

Victor: Billy boy, this is a family discussion, okay? If I were you, I’d continue wallowing in that trivial crap to prepare for your next stupid podcast. Okay?

Billy: Ooh! You’re a listener. Hot damn. I’m gonna have to tell the team. They’re gonna be ecstatic about that. Now, personally, I’m more interested in this dramatic family discussion that we’re having. Have we heard from victoria?

Nikki: The answer is no. None of us have spoken to her today.

Billy: But you know something? Don’t try to deny it, because I know that I’m right. You know, I wasn’t exactly thrilled about the concept of having a conversation with johnny and katie about why their parents are living so far apart. However, I am thrilled for victoria that she’s finally breaking free and walking away from the man that’s been pulling at her strings since she was in diapers. It’s a shock to the system, huh, pops?

Nick: Billy, what mom said was the truth. We don’t know anything specific. We were just talking about how frustrating it is. And it’s a family matter, so… bye.

Billy: It’s all good. I’m sure I’ll hear from her. Probably even before you do because we do share those kids together. Facts of life. Enjoy.

Nikki: Thanks for sending him on his way.

Victor: That man is consummate pain in the ass, you know? And why he’s still involved in our family is beyond me, but such it is.

Nick: Let’s not waste any time on billy, all right? The only thing we need to concentrate on right now is making sure victoria is okay.

Victor: You’re right. You’re right.

Ashland: Uh, were you planning to sneak off without me?

Victoria: No, of course not. What are you doing back here so soon?

Ashland: Well, I left my tablet behind. It’s got all of our new company information on it, our corporate account number, login credentials, that kind of thing, so…

Victoria: It’s very lucky you remembered it.

Ashland: Yeah, it is. It would’ve been pretty lame if I couldn’t back up our interest in buying a big building in new york city with this proof of funding, which, of course, I can, because… because now we put our money together in a big account — $500 million. I’m sorry. Weren’t you — weren’t you on your way to the lawyer’s office?

[ Cellphone chimes ] Victor’s text to you. What’s that about?

Victoria: I have no idea.

Ashland: Oh. No, I’m sorry. I’m just, uh… very interested in what victor might have to say to you right now. It’s, uh… “jet is on the way. Are you all right?” Evidently, you were planning on sneaking off.

Victoria: No.

Ashland: Victoria… don’t lie to me. When you really need to sleep.

Chelsea: Are you quitting? Abandoning our deal with fenmore? Leaving me in the lurch with marchetti? You wouldn’t possibly consider dissolving our partnership, because without me, there is no business.

Chloe: See? There you go. Right there. Zero to 60 in a millisecond. When I say this isn’t working, it means I want to find a way that it caN. A new approach to our partnership so that we are both operating at our best. A better way of communicating that doesn’t involve you getting so angry and defensive.

Chelsea: I can’t believe I’m hearing this for my supposed best friend. Things don’t always go smoothly, chloe. That’s the nature of collaboration. I thought you knew that.

Chloe: That’s not what I’m saying.

Chelsea: What I do is not easy. Coming up with new ideas all the time? You act like just anybody can do it. You know what? I am sick of you not appreciating what I bring to the table.

Chloe: How dare you say that? After all I’ve done for you.

Chelsea: All you’ve done for me?

Adam: Right. Well, thank you for letting me know.

Sally: What does this have to do with victoria?

Adam: She’s the one that sent for the jet, and dad signed off on it.

Sally: You’ve got to be kidding me.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Soon as she boards at laguardia, the pilot is coming back here immediately with victoria as the sole passenger.

Sally: What could that possibly mean?

Adam: Can only mean one thing. Dad’s made up his mind. Victoria’s in, I am out. That’s it. Game over. Okay. Dad got his wish. The return of the prodigal daughter.

Sally: Okay, slow down. You went right to the worst-case scenario. We don’t know that’s what’s happening.

Adam: Yes, we do. We do. Sally, you don’t know these people like I do. Machiavellian behavior is the newman stock in trade.

Sally: Okay. Well, the way you described the blowout with victoria and her family before she left, turning her back on all of you forever, not telling you where she and ashland were going, doesn’t really sound like a woman who ever planned on looking back.

Adam: Exactly. You just made my point for me. So, what changed?

Victoria: I’m not lying to you. I have no reason to lie. I sent for the jet. It’s taking me genoa city.

Ashland: I see. Did — did victor get to you? Did he issue some kind of ultimatum?

Victoria: No, ashland. This decision is mine and mine alone. My father had nothing to do with it.

Ashland: Okay. So, um… so I guess this separation has been more challenging for you than — than I thought. I mean, cutting — cutting ties with your family, moving a thousand miles away — it’s — it’s a lot.

Victoria: I regret some of the things that I said to them, but it was necessary.

Ashland: In order for you to prove your independence.

Victoria: Yes.

Ashland: But now you’re having second thoughts about walking away from your family?

Victoria: I could never leave my family. And the fact that you would think that shows how little you know me.

Ashland: I-I-I’m sorry. I still don’t know that i understand. So you’re going back to your family to ask forgiveness…

Victoria: No.

Ashland: …Without even telling me.

Victoria: I had every intention of telling you everything. You just caught me off guard by coming back here so soon.

[ Breathes deeply ] The plan was to have my bags packed and be ready to go and have a moment to compose myself so I could decide exactly what I wanted to say to you. Oh, well. Here it goes. You and I will not be forming a new corporation together. And this move to new york was not about starting a new life with you. It was a calculated move to cut ties with you and to end your connection with me and my family for good. You know, you did everything exactly as I hoped you would do. You agreed to invest your own money, and you transferred what was left of the $500 million that my father gave you into the corporate account that I created. By the way, I have since drained that account, and now you have exactly what you deserve. Nothing. So maybe now you have a clearer understanding of exactly who I am… and what you’re dealing with. Most bladder leak pads were similar.

Chloe: Look. I am not keeping score. But I have come through for you so many times. As a result of your medical issues — which were not your fault — you went down a dark path, and you made me your unwitting co-conspirator.

Chelsea: And clearly, you still hold a grudge against me for that.

Chloe: No, of course not. But kevin works for the police, and if my involvement habecome part of the original investigation, we would’ve been in a lot of trouble.

Chelsea: Which is why I went along with victor’s plan. I confessed evetothing, and I went to the hospital. I protected you. So please don’t act like this is a one-sided friendship.

Chloe: All I am saying is that you worry yourself. Your whole life had gone off the rails. And you needed time. You needed time to heal and recover. You couldn’t even think about working.

Chelsea: And now you’re throwing that in my face?

Chloe: I am reminding you that even at your lowest, I was there, like always. I bent over backwards to buy you time. I worked for adam for you. I set up the whole fashion platform for you so that you would have a safe place to land, doing the work that you love once you felt well enough. I mean, I did what it took to keep things going, even though you left me dangling, claiming that you weren’t even sure if you wanted the job. I-I practically begged you to come back to work with me because I knew that it would be good for you and because I love working with you.

Chelsea: Well, lately, it doesn’t seem like that.

Chloe: I find it impossible to comprehend that you would even suggest that I don’t appreciate your talent. That I am not a good enough friend to you? That hurts. Yes, I am trying to find a way to make our partnership work, but I am also trying to preserve our friendship.

Sally: Victoria made this big declaration of independence and tied it to a man whose entire life is based on lies, who claims — how did he word it? — That he has been changed by victoria’s love?

Adam: Yeah, what a crock. I never, ever believed that.

Sally: Yeah, well, she certainly seemed to. So maybe, now that victoria has calmed down, she regrets the way she left things here, and maybe she’s coming back to make peace with her folks so they can continue to be a part of her life, even if it’s not the life that mommy and daddy envisioned for her.

Adam: I suppose that could be the case.

Sally: Victoria seems like a practical woman. She’s gonna want to know that she has her family’s support in case she ever needs it.

Adam: Or maybe ashland already pulled some new crap.

Sally: Could be.

Adam: Something that finally opened her eyes and made her realize everything that she had given up.

Sally: If victoria is so in love with the guy that she forgave for the whole faking cancer scam, I doubt that she would turn on him so fast because she’s too proud and she’s invested too much time.

Adam: Well, there could be a lot that we don’t know.

Sally: I get that. So we can’t rule out anything, like the possibility that, yes, maybe she is trying to come back to reclaim her place at newman. Keyword — “try.” Because if that is the case, she’s gonna have you to contend with.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: [ Scoffs ] Look, we have come way too far, babe. Don’t panic. It’s not gonna do us any good. It’s just gonna cloud our thinking when we need to be at our sharpest.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Good point. Thank you.

Sally: Any time.

Adam: What we need is more information. We need to figure out what we’re dealing with so we can act accordingly.

Nikki: I want to believe that victoria came to her senses, that something happened to make her realize that she made a terrible mistake.

Nick: That’s what we all hope.

Victor: Certainly possible.

Nikki: Or…could she be coming here to confront you about discouraging those investors behind her back? Because she was very clear about you interfering in her life any more.

Nick: Maybe ashland realized that he would always be facing that kind of hostility and decided he’d had enough. I mean, do you think there’s a chance that he broke things off?

Nikki: I just cannot bear the thought of that man hurting victoria again.

Victoria: Did you really think that I was so completely under your spell that you could just do anything that you wanted to do, and I would forgive you for it? Every single minute we were together was a lie. It was a massive betrayal. I loved you. I cared about you while you pretended to be overwhelmed by your illness. I suffered at the prospect of watching you die over this non-existent disease. Every day — every single day — I felt dread in the pit of my stomach over this. And when I learned the truth of — of what you had done, it didn’t just break my heart, it crushed me. Yeah, I know, I know, I know. You saved my life by pulling me from…a burning car. But, honestly, I’m not sure that that was really a selfless act.

Ashland: I saved your life because I couldn’t bear the thought of losing you.

Victoria: That wasn’t enough to erase what you did to me and my entire family. You didn’t deserve that payoff money from my dad. And giving half of the money to nicholas? That was a transparent act. You did it to impress me and to try to ease your guilt. I don’t even know if you’re capable of feeling guilt. I doubt it. I decided that I wasn’t going to let you take anything from them. So I came up with a plan to get it back — by lying to you and deceiving you the same way that you did to me.

I’m a ganiac, ganiac,

check my drawers.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Victor: Well, I, for one, am going to assume that victoria is in control of the situation. And that it was her decision to come back home.

Nikki: Let’s say you’re right that victoria’s coming home for good. Then what? Have you made any long-term decisions about where adam fits into the company?

Victor: I’m not going to make any decisions right now until I’ve talked to victoria.

Nick: I think that’s wise, dad. Even if victoria is leaving this jerk, I think she meant what she said about wanting her independence. And everything’s up in the air until we actually talk to victoria and figure out what’s going on.

Victoria: I know that you view the world in terms of profits and losses. It drives everything that you do. You have to win at all costs. I don’t even think you’re capable of feeling remorse. And certainly not love. But there it is right there, in black and white. Balance — zero. Your fortune is gone, and I know that hits you right where you live.

Ashland: This isn’t what you want.

Victoria: How the hell do you know what I really want, huh?

[ Scoffs ] That’s why I was able to pull this off so easily. Because you’re so arrogant. You think that you have this hold on me that nobody can break.

Ashland: Our love was not a scam. It was real.

Victoria: Yes, it was. It was. At least on my part. And, yes, I held on to those residual feelings a little bit longer than I should have when I learned the truth about you. But every word that I have said to you since I got back from switzerland has been a lie.

Ashland: Right. And I should have known something was wrong when you insisted on taking things slowly.

Victoria: Yeah, because you wanted to believe all the bull that I told you about starting over again. It’s the, um…secret of any successful con.

Ashland: Yes, it is. You got me. Congratulations.

Victoria: Well, so I’ve bared my entire soul to you. I think maybe it’s only fair — and I’m dying to know — how does it feel? How does it feel to be so completely wrong about me? To be bested and stripped of all of your ill gotten gains?

Ashland: You do understand you’ve just committed fraud.

Victoria: [ Laughs ] Fraud? Oh, that’s, um…

[ Laughing ] That is so rich coming from you. Someone who has lived all of their adult life under a fraudulent name, who built his entire fortune on a stolen inheritance, who defrauded everyone into believing that he was dying from cancer.

Ashland: So this is you stooping to my level. For money. Or — or was it just to prove that you could do it?

Victoria: Go ahead. I dare you. I dare you to try to accuse me of anything. I will let the world know exactly what you are capable of and the levels to which you will stoop. I have proof to back it up, and I can destroy your life with one phone call.

Ashland: And if you feel satisfied now, a sense of triumph? Was it worth it?

Victoria: Yes.

Chloe: I want to focus on solving the work problem.

Chelsea: By which you mean me.

Chloe: This dynamic. Every time I express concern or offer my advice, you lash out. Insist on taking it personally.

Chelsea: Because it is personal. You make it personal. I have asked you several times just to back off, to tru me, to trust the process.

Chloe: And you’re so wrong about that.

Chelsea: I am speaking!

[ Scoffs ] A prime example. Designing for marchetti would be a dream opportunity for me, and you won’t even consider the idea.

Chloe: I was merely suggesting, as someone who knows you and knows how intensive and time-consuming the creative process can be, that you consider the possibility that you might be taking on too much.

Chelsea: This is what I’m talking about. You always want to manage me.

Chloe: Okay. Well, what you consider a managing, I consider being a responsible partner.

Chelsea: You insist you know what’s best for me, what I can handle, like I’m some irresponsible child.

Chloe: So I’m not supposed to voice my concern?

Chelsea: It crosses a line. It’s controlling and patronizing. And I can’t take it anymore. When I insist I know my own limits, you throw the past in my face like I don’t have the emotional fortitude to do my job. It is insulting. That is what’s not working here, chloe — your attitude. So if you want out, by all means, be my guest.

Billy: Hey. You okay?

Chelsea: Not by a long shot.

[Acoustic soul music throughout]

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

Billy: Hey.

Chelsea: Hey. You followed me.

Billy: You said you weren’t okay.

Chelsea: Oh, that’s — I’m — I’m fine. I just needed a minute.

Billy: Did something happen in society?

Chelsea: Yeah. Chloe. She’s really getting on my last nerve lately.

Billy: Is that why you hightailed it out of there?

Chelsea: I just needed some air. The truth is, with chloe, sometimes… forget it. You don’t want to hear all this?

Billy: I do. It’s okay.

Chelsea: We’ve just been disagreeing a lot. You know, this whole professional partnership has suddenly become very personal.

Billy: Yeah, that’s what happens when you work with someone that you care about. Lily and I disagree on things at times, as well.

Chelsea: I doubt you two fight the way chloe and I do.

Billy: We have our moments, but, yeah, we end up talking about it, and we — we find an understanding.

Chelsea: Well, it used to be that way with chloe, but lately, it’s like she’s constantly pushing my buttons.

Billy: As only the ones that know us best do.

Chelsea: Yeah, you’re right. You’re right. Maybe it’s me, you know? Maybe I’m projecting my stuff onto chloe. I mean, she’s the best friend I’ve ever had. I mean, she’s always been so amazing to me. Maybe — maybe — maybe she’s just having to deal with all my issues.

Billy: Well, I’ll give you points for insight, but promise me this — do not start a podcast, okay? Because it’s gonna be a real downer. Worst of all, it’s gonna be boring. And who wants to listen to that? Not me.

Chelsea: Is that what I said?

Billy: You said that exactly, I think.

Chelsea: Huh. Well, look at that. Actually got through to you.

Ashland: So this is who you are now. This is who you want to be. Your father would be so proud.

Victoria: You know, and it’s just so predictable that you would use my relationship with my father as a way to get me to second-guess myself. I repeat — the plan was mine.And the satisfaction of crushing you the way that you tried to crush me, that’s mine, too. Leaving you with nothing but what you had before you masqueraded your way into my life and tricked me into loving you. Oh, you know what? Actually, it’s even less because your company has been absorbed into newman enterprises. Your name and your presence are completely wiped from the building. And you are now what you always should have been — nothing. No one.

Ashland: I loved you with all my heart and soul.

Victoria: I could’ve predicted that you would say that, too, only now I know you have neither.

Victor: Well, thank you for the information. Right. If something changes, kindly give me a call. Bye.

Nikki: What time will the jet be landing in new york?

Victor: In a couple of hours.

Nick: Which means, by tonight, victoria will be home.

Adam: I was going to use the jet to take connor to pittsburgh to see the brewers play the pirates. So imagine my surprise to learn my request was bumped so victoria could use it, someone who is not an employee of this company and, last time I checked, didn’t want to be a part of this family. So does someone want to tell me what’s changed? Hey, it’s me…your skin.

Billy: I’m gonna let you in on a little secret. This — all of this right here — is rhinoceros skin. Nothing gets to me.

Chelsea: Ah, except for my comments on your podcast, which apparently you can quote verbatim.

Billy: That got to me.

Chelsea: You don’t have to listen to me. Don’t take it to heart.

Billy: Excuse me. I always listen to the truth.

Chelsea: Always?

Billy: Mostly.

Chelsea: That’s more like it.

Billy: All kidding aside, I — I took what you said to heart because I think, deep down, I knew you were right.

Chelsea: Mm. Just like, deep down, you were right about chloe knowing me well enough to get a rise out of me.

Billy: There we go. So what did we learn today?

Chelsea: [ Chuckles ] Uh, I guess, on some level, what chloe said makes sense, and i just didn’t want to admit it. Maybe I’m not good at gauging my limitations. Perhaps I need to face reality.

Billy: Hmm. Look at us, huh? Being all mature. Who would have ever expected that?

Chelsea: No one, ever.

[ Chuckles ]

Sally: Is this seat taken?

Chloe: Hi. Uh, what are you doing back here?

Sally: Well, I forgot my card.

Chloe: Fair warning — I’m in a — I’m in a lousy mood.

Sally: Yeah, I just saw chelsea storm out of here.

Chloe: Right. That wasn’t upsetting or anything.

Sally: Look, the last thing i want to do is make things worse, so you can just tell me to shut up if I’m overstepping. But when we were chatting before, it was very obvious that things were strained in that relationship, work- and friend-wise. You just seemed like you could use someone to talk to. And…maybe an alternative.

Nikki: Can’t you and connor fly commercial?

Adam: I checked. All the flights, they’re booked. So poor kid is gonna be crushed, and now there’s nothing that I can do about it.

Victor: Son, victoria requested the use of the jet to bring her from new york to genoa city, okay?

Adam: I am aware of that.

Victor: Good.

Adam: If you’re not gonna give me the courtesy of speaking with me first, you could least tell me the purpose of her visit. Or is it more than just a visit?

Ashland: So what do you expect me to do?

Victoria: I gather that this hasn’t penetrated for you. Because you have come to see me as someone that you can still manipulate, someone who thinks they can’t live their life without you. Well, guess what. I’m looking forward to it. And as to what you should do? I don’t care. Disappear. We’re through. I don’t want to see you or hear from you ever again.

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

So where’s nikolas? Oh, he’s somewhere. He’s on a call. He’ll be here shortly. Do you have everything? Yes. Two quickie divorces, hot off the presses. Thank you for being so expedient. And you have the division of assets from nikolas’s lawyer? Yes. Yes. 50/50, right down the middle. You know, I got to say, you turned a nice profit here in a three-year marriage. Now — now, I told you, this divorce is… it’s just a gesture, you know? Nikolas wants to prove to me how much he trusts me by giving me half of everything. Yeah. Yeah. Ain’t love grand, huh, ava? That’s not funny. Well, I’m not trying to be funny. Once you sign these papers, you’re going to get half of what he has. And there is not a damn thing that he can do about it. Which is exactly why we are doing this. Our marriage, which started with blackmail, mutual distrust, will be a thing of the past, and the only thing that will remain is our love. Cam, take a break. No can do. We’re a little short-staffed, since you quit on zero notice. I’m sure that you can spare 5 minutes. This is important. I’d argue that work is important. Not that that means anything to you. Wow. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed, but I’m sure that your mood is going to improve when I tell you that I found a way to help trina. You have proof that esmé recorded joss and me? No. But I have the next best thing. I found out who esmé’s biological mother is. I’m sure chase will be here any minute, but, uh, while we’re waiting, do you have any updates? Heard anything from elizabeth? She called. We talked briefly. Did she say anything about you visiting her? No. Oh, sorry. I know how difficult it is for you to bide your time while elizabeth is struggling. I’d do anything for her, dad. This is what she wants. I have to respect her wishes, stay away. Hey, it’s about time. Hey. Sorry, I overslept.

[ Chuckles ] Well, better get that out of your system before you start working back at the pcpd. Yeah, that’s not happening as soon as you think. Why not? My suspension has been extended. Hey. Hey. Have you been waiting long? No complaints. I’ve actually been enjoying the downtime. Good. Mom? Hey. Hi, joss. Trina, how you doing? Hey. What’s wrong? You seem distracted. Um, uh, you know, I’m just dealing with some work stuff right now. Carly, I am so sorry. I had no idea this was gonna happen. So how much set-up time do we get? Really? Well, that — that — that’s not a lot, but, oh, hey, we are going to make it work. Yes, we’re so excited and thrilled for this opportunity. Truly. Uh-huh. Oh, of course. Yeah. Ta. Whew, okay. That was our segment producer. And I got to talk to the on-camera talent. You spoke with haven herself? What did she say? Did she love the deception products we sent over? Love, love, loves it. She is a big fan. Okay, she is going to wear our femme fatale lipstick on camera today. That is amazing. Yeah. But she had a few teeny tiny changes she wanted to make in the order of the products, and I promised her we would make it happen, but it’s gonna be really tight. Deception goes live in 2 hours on tv, and sasha’s not even here yet! Oh, okay. It’s fine. I will call her. Whew.

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Cellphone rings ] Hi. Sasha, where are you? I just stopped to get some coffee. Now is not the time for coffee. It is almost showtime. We have some product to move, stat. Okay. I’m on my way. You’re not leaving early, are you? Yes, I am leaving. What we agreed upon, that was a mistake. Really? Because I think I have exactly what you need. Brook lynn. Hi. Good to see you. Oh. Good to see you, too. I can’t remember the last time we talked. Uh, I know. You know, when you asked to meet me, I knew you wanted something. Oh, how dare you? I want to know how you’re doing. As you can see, I’m doing good. Yeah? So tell me what you want. Okay, fine. I-I’ll get to the point. I need you to take care of a sleazeball named linc brown.


Esmé’s biological mother help us with trina? Esmé has always wanted to know where she came from and why her parents gave her up for adoption. Which has nothing to do with trina or revenge porn. Cameron, it will. Once I tell esmé that I found her biological mother, but I’m not going to give her any of the information unless she admits that she made sex tape. Okay, but she’s not going to do that. That’ll land her in jail. My plan is for esmé to record her confession. I’m gonna give her a chance to skip town before I turn the recording over to the police. She was known to have been at the cabin just before the sex tape was made, and she was on campus when it was uploaded. Her confession is going to cause reasonable doubt in trina’s case. Wow. Spencer, that — that might work. It will work. Okay, wait, esmé has been looking for her biological mother for years. And then just out of nowhere, boom, you find her? That’s — that’s pretty convenient. I didn’t find her. My uncle victor did. You know, you two have the weirdest marriage and divorce I’ve ever heard of.

[ Scoffs ] Doubt that. Well, okay, maybe it’s not the weirdest, but it’s up there in the top ten. Where’s martin? He’s been delayed, but we don’t have to wait. Scott can walk us through the key points. No, I think, you know, your lawyer has to be here to look over the divorce agreement before you sign anything. I’m not worried. Shall we begin? Yeah. Okay. This is just your standard no-fault divorce. Divorce? But — but, mr. Cassadine, I — I thought you weren’t gonna tell her. Can we please talk about this somewhere else? Like in the gardens? Olivia: Yeah. Alright. Mom. Is everything okay? Yeah, it’s great. We’ll talk about it later. I don’t know. That sounded more like bad news. Well, it’s just business. I mean, as long as everybody in the family is okay, we can handle whatever the new issue is. I know what you mean. My family has really stepped up with me. Believe it or not, but my mom wasn’t even upset when I told her that we went to the biker bar. She said she supported me for taking steps to help myself. Wow, that’s awesome. I just wish that that stupid bar fight hadn’t broken out so we could talk to that bartender some more. Well, curtis said that he’s looking into it, and he said that the bartender hasn’t been there since that night. Curtis? Yeah. He took over the investigation. Wow. I’m glad to hear it. You know, I hate to say it, but we’ve run into another dead end. Maybe. But like I said, curtis is on it. And even if the bartender doesn’t pan out, something will. I swear, I’m not gonna let esmé get away with this. I’m surprised linc slithered his way back into town. What does he want now?

[ Scoffs ] I thought I put linc in my rearview mirror. You know, when valentin bought out my contract? But unfortunately, linc still owns the rights to my songs. You know, from when he was my producer. You know he’s selling my songs to push dog food and paper towels? He’s using my beautiful love songs as jingles. That’s not the reason why I-I asked to talk to you. No? No. I’m here because of chase. Your suspension was extended. I have questions. So do I. Is this why you were upset the other day when brook lynn called me? Yeah. I’m suspended until the civilian review board investigation is concluded. There’s a civilian complaint against you? Linc brown filed one yesterday. Who’s that? Brook lynn’s sleazy former producer. Used to harass her all the time while she was under contract, and his behavior hasn’t gotten much better. They got into it at the savoy the other night. What did you do? I punched him in the face. Oh, you punched someone else? Even after you got suspended for it the first time? Dad, come on. I’m sure the guy provoked chase. Oh, he did. Still, son. Was it worth potentially getting kicked off the force? Felty: Did you bringthe credentials that make me the official deception photographer for today’s appearance on the home & heart channel? I did, but I have changed my mind. Why? All I’m looking for is backstage access. The publicity will be great for deception too. It’s a win-win in my book. It’s not like we’re breaking any laws. Oh, come on. Everyone deserves a pick-me-up every now and again. Why are you so uptight about it? I don’t recognize those pills. What are they? These are prescription. Totally safe. Just a couple of these babies got me through fashion week last year. It’s great stuff. Trust me. And if I can be frank, you look a little run down, like you could use a boost. All you want are backstage photos, right? That’s it. And you want these. So… do we have a deal?


You and ava are getting a divorce? This is awful. What didn’t you tell me, nikolas? It’s just, I thought that, um… esmé, you misunderstood. Ava and i are getting a divorce, but we’re still a couple, still together. Our love for each other hasn’t changed. Esmé. What did you think nikolas wasn’t going to tell me? I knew he’d been contemplating getting a divorce, but I also knew that mr. Cassadine wanted to fight for your marriage. I thought he’d told you he’d agree to a separation, that’s all. Is that correct? Both esmé and spencer noticed the toll our rift has taken on me. He’s been so upset. I know that spencer would be delighted if you and I split up for real. Are — are you saying that you don’t feel the same? Deep down, spence wants his dad to be happy. And you make him happy, ava. Thank you for your concern, esmé. But you did interrupt something. Oh, I’m sorry. I’ll — I’ll go. But first, could I have a moment with you alone, mr. Cassadine? I had no idea that ned was even considering siding with valentin. If I knew, I would have told you immediately. Please stop. Please stop. There’s nothing you could have done. But I still feel terrible. I know that the news of the elq-aurora merger being dead, it’s really tanked aurora stocks. I — how is it going to impact your deal with the hedge fund? It already has. Not in a good way, but I will figure something out. Oh, my god, carly. Could you lose your half of the metro court?

[ Sighs ] Linc mouthed off at brook lynn in a really crude and cruel way, and I didn’t take the time to think about the consequences. So, yeah, I — I decked him. But a cop shouldn’t go off the handle like that. You’re — you’re a good cop, right? And that should count for something. I know how much you love your work. You’re right. Like the commissioner pointed out to me, it is part of a law enforcement officer’s job to keep his cool in tense situations. And twice now, first with valentin and then linc, I haven’t been able to do that. God, I can’t believe I’m back here again. Back here? Yeah, I, uh — I almost lost my career because of janelle. Took me years to rebuild. That — that — that was a completely different situation. You were young. You didn’t know better. Mm-hmm. Different circumstances, yes, but my reaction proves it. I follow my heart. Is that what you were doing when you were defending brook lynn? You were following your heart? You got your uncle victor involved? That guy’s bad news. Are you serious? You’re the one who’s constantly complaining that my plan is taking too long, that you don’t like lying to joss and trina. I don’t like lying to them. Neither do I. So I went to someone who can get results. My uncle victor is the former director of the wsb. He has the right connections to access privileged information. That’s it. Yeah, alright. Make sense. So what did he find out? Esmé told me that she was left at a church when she was a baby. She later contacted that church, but the priest insisted that he had no knowledge of the woman who left the baby. Great. So a dead end? Well, that’s what esmé thought. But then uncle victor’s people tracked down a nun who said that she remembered esmé being abandoned. They, uh…convinced her to share the name of the mom who abandoned her child. And how did they convince her? I don’t know. Uncle victor didn’t give me any of the details, but his people tracked down esmé’s biological mom. She lives in portugal now. What, so that’s it? Esmé’s not gonna risk prison for a name and an address based on information she doesn’t even know is legit. No, of course not. And that’s why uncle victor got dna. Sasha was only stopping for a coffee. She should be here by now. Oh, sorry. I lost track of time. It’s okay. Yeah. There you are. Here you are. There you are. That’s all that matters. And we really need to get started, because there’s just a lot,

a lot to go over before we head over to the tv studio. I thought we settled everything last night. I’ve been going over my notes. I know them backwards and forwards.

[ Sighs ] What? So the home & heart people called, and their host, haven, had some ideas about our lineup. It’s good news, really. She’s very excited about our products. She just wants to start with the lipstick instead of the eyeshadow. So, lucy and I, we reworked the presentation. Yeah, so I’m going to get the script, and I’ll give you time to memorize all of it. Excuse me. Oh, hey! Make sure it’s version 3and not version 2! Lucy: Yeah, yeah! Got it!

[ Muffled ] Got it all right here! Here you go. Okay, the changes start on card 1.


I’m sorry. This affects you, too. You could be saddled with a business partner that you don’t agree with. I don’t care about any of that. I mean, of course, I care a little bit, but that’s not the most important thing. This — this hotel, this is our thing together. You have put so much of yourself into this place. The renovations — the pool and the gardens — that’s you. That’s all your energy, and us together, I don’t want to lose that spirit. I don’t want to lose it. I don’t want to lose it either. When I invested in aurora, it never even occurred to me that the merger with elq wouldn’t happen. I thought it was a sure thing. And I love running this place with you. I can’t imagine not coming here every day. Alright, that settles it. I’m buying your half of the hotel. Esmé, what do you have to say to my husband that you can’t say in front of me? Oh, I was just… planning a surprise for spence this afternoon. I didn’t think you’d be interested. I’ll be right back. Haven’t any of your police contacts given you anything that could help trina’s case? Some piece of evidence that they haven’t mentioned yet? No, that esmé, she’s covered her tracks very well. Okay. You have my attention. What is this surprise for spencer you’re planning? I was planning on taking him on a day trip to the mountains. Would it be okay if we borrowed your convertible to take in the scenery? Of course, but you could ask me that in front of ava. I know. The truth is, I pulled you away because I need your help. Trina: Oh, my god. I totally forgot to tell you who I saw here last night. Who? Someone from pcu? Rory. Officer invisible was here at the pool? With esmé. What? Has she found a new victim to prey on? No, rory let me know that she sat beside him. I didn’t like it at first, but rory totally put her on notice. Esmé knows that he’s onto her. My uncle victor’s people got a dna sample from the woman that they believe is esmé’s biological mother. I got a sample of esmé’s dna, and I had gh run a paternity test. So what, you just ordered a dna test like ordering a hamburger? What can I say? Money talks. Anyway, it turns out that this woman in portugal is esmé’s real mom. Spencer, that’s — that’s huge. Mm-hmm. This information is going to be way more valuable to esmé than just sticking it to trina. I mean, spencer, you’ve found a way to save trina. You really think so? I mean, I was skeptical at first, but you convinced me. Good. Let’s hope esmé falls for it as easily as you did. Fall…? What do — what do you mean? It’s all a lie, cam. I made the whole story up. I’m not following my heart to brook lynn. She’s my friend. No, I’m just saying you’ve gone above and beyond for brook lynn. You pretended bailey was your daughter. You punched valentin and now this linc to defend her. This is nothing like janelle. I spontaneously stepped up to say that I was bailey’s father. Brook lynn never even asked. And for punching those two losers — look, I know I shouldn’t have done it, but in the moment, I could not stand hearing them insult brook lynn. But those were my reactions, okay? Brook lynn in no way asked or even wanted me to be involved. Just to be clear, I’m not criticizing brook lynn. I know you care about her, and I know she cares about you. I was impressed the other day when she reached out to me to let me know you needed cheering up.

[ Chuckles ] It’s funny. Brook lynn tries to downplay her good qualities. She likes to hide behind her rich girl persona and her tough, new york city attitude. I actually almost hit linc a few weeks ago, and she beat me to it. Just another sign that I can’t control my temper. You know, I’ve used a lot of words over the years to describe you, and bad temper never came up. I agree. I always describe you as “passionate.” You always have been. Even as a kid, you stood up for the little guy. It’s just in your nature. That was always my goal. I just… I got to figure out another way to do it. Linc was totally disrespecting me. He was treating me like garbage, and then he grabbed my arm. That’s when chase stepped in and punched him, which, in my opinion, he completely deserved. Only thing is that chase was already on suspension with the pcpd for punching valentin a few months ago, who was also saying horrible things about me. So now chase is on suspension again, or still, or whatever. Look, the bottom line is, chase might lose his job. Because of linc? No, because of me. I can’t let that happen. Chase is a great detective and he really loves what he does. So, look… any chance you can have a quote/unquote talk, you know, with linc? Get him to recant his complaint against chase? You know, as much as I’d love to, I’m sorry, I can’t do that. What? What? Why? Why not? Because chase is a cop? That’s no reason not to help. Your son dante is a cop. You’re misunderstanding me. If I get involved, word’s gonna get out. What did chase do to deserve a favor from me? Right? They’re gonna see him as a dirty cop. I didn’t think about that. I’m sorry. Best thing that chase can do is just go through the process and hope it comes out in his favor. Remember, when you’re speaking on camera, we want our customer to look in the mirror and feel empowered. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yes. Very strong, independent, and could do absolutely anything. Be anyone. Ye– well, no, not just anyone. She wants to be you, sasha. Excuse me? What does that mean? It means that you, you are the ideal. You are the face of deception. You’re strong. But relatable. Fearless. But never, ever harsh. Oh, you just need to relax and be your natural and charming self. Let the audience see who sasha really is. Well, not totally, though. I think sometimes you have to maintain an air of mystery — oh, my god, just stop it!


Sasha: I’m sorry for snapping like that. It’s just — I put so much time into memorizing the original order. I-I just need a minute with all these last-minute changes. Look at me. It’s okay. It’s really okay. We understand that this is a lot. Yeah, and if we let our enthusiasm get away from us, we’re really sorry. Are you sure you’re okay? Yeah. I’m just a little nervous, that’s all. Well, who wouldn’t be? Oh, look, my butterflies have their own little, teeny, tiny butterflies, but it’s gonna be okay. You are going to be absolutely magnificent. Thank you for all your faith in me. You got this. Easily. And besides, never forget, we are always by your side. I know you will be with me in spirit, but physically, you will be standing behind the cameras. I will be the one in front of them. So everything you told me about esmé’s biological mom is a lie? Yeah, I have no idea who esmé’s real mom is. Spencer, what the hell are you doing? What? I had to test my story before I use it on esmé. I needed to know if it sounds believable. You know what? You’re an ass. I’m sorry, cam, but I only get one shot at this, okay? As soon as I demand that esmé confess to this, she’s gonna know that I believe trina, not her, and it’s game over for me. I see your point. For what it’s worth, your story’s good. Yeah? What part convinced you? The dna test. Can your uncle fake one for you? No, not exactly. And that is where you come in. What kind of help do you need from me? It’s my internship at spring ridge. My work there has convinced me that I definitely want to major in psychology. Figuring out why people do what they do — fascinating stuff. You still haven’t explained why you need my help. Dr. Collins was being completely overprotective and managed to convince the administration that they should terminate my internship. And I know he thinks he’s acting in my best interest, but he’s not. I’m hoping you could get my internship reinstated.

[ Scoffs ] I’m not sure how I would go about that — I know you have connections at spring ridge. I mean, after all, you’re the one who got spence’s aunt alexis released early, right? I hate to bother an important man such as yourself with something so small, but… can you do this? For me? I will buy your half so that I will own the entire hotel. And then you can pay me back slowly, you know? Like an old-fashioned installment plan. Okay, olivia, stop. That is a very generous offer, but do you have the liquidity to buy my half? Well, I mean, I’d have to talk it over with ned. Oh, no, no. We could — absolutely not. Some of our shared assets? No.


It’s pretty genius, don’t you think? No, not genius. And not something I want any part of. Come on. It is not a big deal. All you have to do is get dna samples from joss and her mom for me to have tested. Is that all? Yeah. It’s going to give us a legit mother-daughter test result. Esmé can go to the lab and confirm it herself. What do you expect me to do, huh? Hug carly and snag a couple hairs? That’s not suspicious at all. Oh, don’t be so dramatic. You can swipe it from a glass that she drank from. Where is josslyn anyway? I’m supposed to meet joss and trina at the metro court pool after my shift is over. That’s great. Oh, my god. That’s so great. That’s so good. Carly is almost always working at the metro court. You can get both of the samples today. Just let me know when it’s done. Oh, no. If I’m doing this, then you’re doing it with me. I can’t believe you haven’t found anything to tie esmé to that sex tape. I mean, that little fiend torched my car, and she threw in kiki’s gh badge just for kicks. She’s got a devious mind, I’m telling you. Yes, she’s devious, but she covered her tracks well. Now let’s get back to what’s at hand here. To sign the papers, we’re going to need a witness. I’m just gonna wait for nikolas to get back, okay? Well, you said that he wanted this, as do you. I mean, was I wrong? Does it really matter? You’re banking billable hours no matter what. I’ve always been there for you, haven’t I? I care about you, and you know that. Why would you say that to me? Sorry. I know. I do know it. I just — I mean, I’m on edge because I’m very concerned about trina, and I’m just… I’m just being silly. Silly, silly. Silly how? I just can’t help thinking that nikolas and i are tempting fate, that this divorce, that it isn’t going to be the fresh start that he wants it to be — that it’s going to be the end. I’m not sure I can help you. Esmé, as you know, kevin is married to my mother. If this were to get back to her, it would be bad. You’re right. I guess this is what I deserve anyway. Losing my internship, I mean. This is my punishment, right? For sleeping with my boyfriend’s dad. No. No, that’s not how the world works, esmé. Hey, you’re just — you’re just feeling guilty, like I am. Because we should have never been together. But I will prove it to you by helping you get your internship back. Oh, nikolas, thank you so much! Oh, come on, carly. I really think that I could convince ned that buying your half of the hotel would be a really great investment. Okay, maybe ned would go for it, but I won’T. Ned double-crossed michael and drew, and he hung them out to dry, and now they’re scrambling to save aurora. There’s no way in hell I’m gonna take ned’s money, even if he was in partnership with you. You believe that drew and michael would think less of you? I would think less of me. Okay. What’s next? What are you gonna do? Sorry to keep you waiting. Where’s esmé? She took off. Well, I hope that she didn’t hit you up for money. Spencer’s allowance is plenty for the both of them. Esmé never brought up the subject of money. So, esmé asked rory if he knew someone that could help her get her internship back at spring ridge. Hello? What does it tell you that esmé is too crazy to get an internship there? Not the point. Rory claimed that he knew someone and offered to put the name and phone number in esmé’s phone. Mm-hmm. But she wouldn’t hand it over. Oh, there must be so much incriminating data on that thing. Exactly. There is no way esmé is going to let a cop hold it, even for a minute. Rory just outmaneuvered her. That’s nice work. I know, right? Especially when I got here and they were together. For a second, I thought esmé was winning him over. Trina, there is not a chance. Officer invisible is way too into you. Maybe. And you’re into rory, right? Maybe. If I go with you, that’s only going to make matters worse, cameron. How convenient. I mean it. I can’t go near joss or trina. They hate me. Especially trina. I guess you’re right about that. Maybe we could use that to our advantage. How? This time, you’re gonna have to trust me. I’ve got an idea. You know, chase, I’ll, uh — I’ll support you in whatever career path you may choose, but I still think the pcpd would be shooting themselves in the foot to give up on a detective as good as you are. I don’t know if they’ll have a choice in the matter. How long does this citizen’s complaint review board investigation take? I don’t know, but I know that I’m suspended without pay, and I’m gonna have to find another job, at least a temporary one. I can’t imagine anything that would satisfy me as much as detective work. I think you need to fight for the job you have, the job you love. And to that end, you probably want to stay away from this linc brown. You know, I got — I got to cut it short, ’cause I got to — I got to go to the metro court, meet with nina. You guys are an official thing now? Uh, well, you know, just kind of dating. Well, as long as she makes you happy. Well, that’s nice of you to say that, ’cause not a lot of people feel that way. I’m sure. So there’s really nothing you can do for chase? Look, like I said, chase is a smart guy. He’s gonna get another job. You know, a lot of former cops, they’re doing security. You mean like a mall cop? Not like a mall cop. Like a security consultant or like a bodyguard. That doesn’t sound much better. Listen, chase is gonna find another job. And I’m sorry I can’t make linc sing like a canary. But you know what? The review board, you never know. Uncle sonny, you’re a genius. Yeah. Thank you so much.


Yeah, it looks in order to me. You’re signing them now? Isn’t that why we’re here? No. Martin grey isn’t here. You shouldn’t sign any legal documents without your lawyer reading through them first. Scott: Uh, hang on a second, there, ava. I’m a little offended. You think I pulled some sort of a fast one when I drew up these papers? Ava… I want to do this for you, to prove that I have no doubts that we will continue to be together forever. I appreciate the gesture. I do. But there’s no need to take it this far, you know? You don’t have to rush through this divorce. Okay? Yeah. You know, you two are working my last nerve here. I got to go to court. So, are you gonna sign these papers or not? Not.

[ Sighs ] Let’s go home. Your only defense with the review board is the punch was in the heat of the moment, you weren’t thinking, and you’re sorry. But I’m not sorry. What? You can’t say that. I know. I know. I need to convince the review board that I’m very remorseful. And for my own self-preservation, that I won’t go anywhere near linc. I’m relieved to hear you say that. Me, too. You know, I… excuse me. I have to get to the hospital. And you have a thing with… I have to work on my book. Work on your book. Yeah. You may as well stay and enjoy the pool. Enjoy the pool. What? Good luck. Chase? I was looking for you. Okay, before we go any further, I want to make sure that you’re good with the plan. I’m going to go up to the pool, and you’re going to come up a couple of minutes after to create a diversion, okay? That’s when I’ll get the dna samples from joss and her mom. Look, there’s carly over there with olivia. Okay, what do we do now? We go to the pool first, alright? Start with joss. Promise to not leave me hanging? Yeah, I got your back. I promise. It’s time to go, ladies. Fame, fortune, and home & heart await. I’m so excited about what this means for the future of deception. This is huge. Okay. On three, group hug. Three!

[ Laughter ] Aw. Okay, break. Let’s go. Woo! Oh, wait, uh, I forgot something. I’ll catch up with you downstairs.

[ Sighs ] Cameron! Hey. I didn’t think you would show. Hey, you’ve finally taken the time to hang out and do nothing? Well, I mean, I’m here. Did you guys save me a chair? What’s wrong? You seem off. Okay, that’s been long enough. Time for me to go to the pool. Oh, spence. What are you doing here? What’s next? What’s your plan?

[ Sighs ] I don’t know.

[ Chuckles ] Alright. You know, I understand you not wanting to take money from the quartermaines. What about your ex-husband? I’d say he owes you a favor or 500.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Dramatic music]

Paulina: How are you doing, baby?

Lani: I’m holding on. Justin told me how you put the screws to trask to get this plea deal. Thank you.

Paulina: No need to ever thank me. I spent 30 years pretending you weren’t my daughter. No way I’m letting trask or anybody else take my baby away from me.

Julie: Eli, it’s time. I’m gonna dress jules and carver right now.

Eli: Okay.

Julie: Sweetheart, statesville is just a short drive away, and you and I, and all the people that love her are gonna take the twins to visit lani every chance we get.

Eli: Yeah.

[Doorbell rings] Hey.

Rafe: Hey, man. Yeah, listen, I’m sorry to do this, but about lani’s deal, there’s a problem.

[Quiet dramatic music]

Kristen: [Sighs]

Guard: Dimera, you have a visitor.

Kristen: A visitor? Who is it?

[Dramatic music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Eli: Don’t tell me trask is backing out of the deal. She just signed off on it a few hours ago.

Rafe: Lani’s problem isn’t with trask or with the deal.

Eli: What’s going on?

Rafe: The problem is with the prisoner we already have in custody.

Kristen: I am surprised to see you.

Brady: Well, you used your only phone call to reach out to me, didn’t you?

Kristen: I was hoping you’d bring rachel to visit me.

Brady: Well, I didn’T.

Kristen: Yeah, I can see that.

Brady: Just trying to protect her. As she gets older, it’s getting harder and harder to keep the truth away from her.

Kristen: And what truth is that, brady?

Brady: That her mother has done horrible things and that her mother is a criminal.

[Dramatic music]

Xander: Oh, there’s my favorite ex-wife.

Chanel: Right, your ex-wife with the big mouth. Sorry about the other day. I thought for sure sarah knew we were married.

Xander: Oh, don’t worry about it. She’s fine with it.

Chanel: Really? Like, fine-fine?

Xander: Sarah has absolutely no problem with you at all.

Chanel: Oh.

Sarah: Get the hell away from him, you bitch!

[Tense electronic music]

Migraine attacks?

Chanel: I thought you said she didn’t have a problem with me.

Xander: That’s what she told me.

Sarah: I warned you. Stay away!

Chanel: What the hell?

Xander: Sarah, what the hell are you doing?

Sarah: I’m saving you from kristen dimera. I’m saving your life!

[Dramatic music]

Kristen: So you came down here to what, insult me? You didn’t think I was suffering enough, so you came down here to remind me what a terrible person I am?

Brady: No, kristen, I came here to ask you one question. Did you frame me for what happened to philip?

Kristen: How–

Brady: And do you know if he’s dead or alive?

Kristen: Oh, my gosh.

[Laughs] How many times do I have to say it, and how many different ways? I had nothing to do with philip’s disappearance, and why do you even care?

Brady: Why do I even care? Why in the hell would you even ask me that?

Kristen: Oh… [Chuckles] Right. It’s really obvious why you care, because if philip is alive, he might just come between you and chloe.

Lani: Listen, I–I know you risked everything for me, and my confessing can put you in trouble, so I will tell them that I asked you to lie.

Paulina: Oh, here we go again. Look, like I told you, I’m going to be fine.

Lani: Yeah, but trask is not gonna let this go.

Paulina: Well, I’m not afraid of her. What I’m afraid of right now is that my daughter, instead of being proud of herself for what she did–instead of making peace with her decision, she’s worrying about her mama.

Lani: How can I not worry? I mean, ugh, what you did for me–my god, I couldn’t take it anymore. Like, you understand why I confessed?

Paulina: Yes, yes.

Lani: Don’t you?

Paulina: Yes, baby. I understand, I understand. You’ve explained it all to me. We’ve been over this–

Lani: I tried to keep quiet, and the more that I stuffed it down, the more that tr kept haunting me, and everywhere I went, I saw him, and he just kept reminding me of what I did, and I knew that it would not stop unless I did something about it.

Theo: Maybe I shouldn’t leave today.

Abe: No, mm-mm. Son, you have to live your life. Your sister understands.

Theo: You know, when we found out that lani’s not really my sister, I thought things might change.

Abe: But they haven’t, have they?

Theo: If anything, we’ve grown closer because we chose it, you know? And I know it’s the same for you.

Abe: Yeah, it is. You know, I’m blessed to have two wonderful children– you and lani. I could not love you more.

Rafe: Yeah, so it’s no secret that there’s some bad blood between your wife and vivian alamain.

Eli: So what? What does that old bat have to do with lani’s plea deal?

Rafe: Well, I just got word from one of our prison informants that vivian knows that lani is set to enter statesville.

Eli: Oh, my god.

Rafe: Yeah, and she has made it clear that lani is on her hit list. Now, vivian’s been thrown into solitary, but she’s a–you know, she’s got some dangerous allies on the inside, people who would not hesitate to hurt lani. It’s not safe for her there.

Eli: What’s the alternative?

Rafe: Well, the alternative is that she serve out her sentence at another facility.

Eli: Where?

Rafe: Right.

Eli: Rafe, these are all out of state.

Rafe: I know.

Eli: Then how are we supposed to visit? I mean, lani will go crazy if she’s not close to the kids.

Rafe: Yeah, I, uh– I don’t know man, I just– I don’t see any other way.

[Uneasy music]

Eli: Wait a minute. I think I have an idea how this will work. Time. It’s life’s most precious commodity,

Xander: Sarah…

Sarah: What are you doing?

Xander: That–that is not kristen dimera.

Sarah: What?

Xander: It’s chanel.

Chanel: What is going on?

Sarah: Oh, my god. Chanel, I’m so sorry.

Chanel: Uh, yeah, no worries. I got someplace I need to be.

Sarah: What did I do?

Xander: Hey, it’s okay. Nobody got hurt.

Sarah: Why do I keep– I can’t believe that this is still happening. Oh, my god, xander.

[Sniffles] I can’t get away from her. I can’t get away from kristen dimera.

[Dramatic music]

Kristen: So you and chloe are together, aren’t you?

Brady: How did you know that?

Kristen: Oh, I make it my business to know what or who the father of my child is doing. What, are you gonna stand there and deny it?

Brady: No, I won’t deny it. We are a couple. We are together despite your best efforts to try to keep us apart.

Kristen: Well, it turns out I was right, wasn’t I? All that time you claimed to be in love with me, you were just angling to be with her. Here’s something you need to know, brady. I’m not giving up, not on our daughter, and not on you. Chloe may have won this battle, but I will definitely win the next.

Brady: No, no, no, this is not a war. This is not a battle, kristen. This is my life. How many people do you wanna make collateral damage by trying to insert yourself into my life and rachel’s? It’s never gonna happen. It will never happen.

[Intriguing music]

Theo: Mom’s side of the family is far from traditional. But I saw how my nonno loved kristen and peter just as much as his biological children.

Abe: Well, there’s not much I agree with stefano dimera on, but in this, he was right. Family is what you make of it.

Theo: Oh, we better get to the station so we can see lani.

Abe: Right, yeah, and uh, we need to make one stop along the way.

Lani: I watched you and dad, so happy and hopeful about your future, and I realized that I couldn’t live with this lie any longer.

Paulina: Oh, poor baby, it must’ve been eating you up.

Lani: Do you understand why I had to take responsibility for my father’s murder?

Paulina: Oh, I understand better than anyone. I know all too well what it’s like having that man haunt you.

Lani: Of course you do.

Paulina: But because of you, lani, he won’t be able to hurt anybody anymore. You saved us, and I will forever be grateful. Come on, honey. Oh… you know I’m gonna be the first in line every day when they allow visitors and on some of those days that they don’T.

Lani: [Laughs] So what, are you gonna just talk your way into the state penitentiary?

Paulina: Girl, girl, have you met me?

Lani: [Laughs]

Paulina: [Sighs]

Eli: So what do you think of my idea?

Rafe: I, um, think I hate it.

[Chuckles] But I’ll make some calls and see if I can make it happen.

Eli: Thank you.

Rafe: Yeah, buddy. You hang in there, pal, all right?

Eli: Yeah.

Rafe: It’s all gonna work out.

Eli: I hope so.

Rafe: Yeah. Talk to you soon.

Eli: Okay.

Julie: Eli, was that rafe?

Eli: Yeah, yeah, that was rafe. I was just talking to him about some stuff– just about today. Grandma, I need to talk to you. Why don’t you have a seat?

Julie: What’s wrong? Is lani okay?

Eli: Yeah, lani’s fine. Please, have a seat, grandma. So it looks like lani’s gonna have to spend her time a bit further away from home than we expected.

Julie: Oh, no, that’s terrible. Well, my heart would break in two if you and the twins had to move far away.

Eli: Well, I hope you don’t mean that, because the twins and I–we can’t be far away from lani. We may have to leave salem. And tonight’s winning numbers are 18,

Kristen: What is this collateral damage you’re talking about?

Brady: [Scoffs] You want me to run down a list of the people that have gotten hurt in your cross fire? Wanna start with sarah?

Kristen: Oh, what about her?

Brady: What about her? You stole her life, kristen. She’s an innocent victim in one of your damn schemes.

Kristen: Oh, whatever, brady. I heard that she and xander are back together again, so no harm, no foul, right?

Brady: Wrong. Even from in here, you are still torturing her.

Sarah: I’ve been on the adjusted dose for two weeks, and I just thought that this was going to stop.

Xander: Um, well, they had said it might take some time. Just take a breath. I’d hate for you to, you know, do something you might later regret.

Sarah: Ugh, you mean, like, murder your ex-wife?

Xander: Yeah, like that.

Sarah: [Sighs] No, you’re right. Ugh, kristen’s probably, like, a million miles away from salem right now anyway.

Rafe: Well, I’m afraid that’s not true. Kristen is currently down at the station.

Xander: Wait, she’s in custody?

Rafe: Yes, she is, till they transfer her back to statesville, where they will hopefully lock her up and throw away the key.

Eli: So if rafe can make it happen, there’s a minimum security facility in maryland. It’s about a 30-minute drive from my mother’s house in D.C.

Julie: What about your job?

Eli: Well, a good cop can always find work. You remember my old fbi mentor, billy?

Julie: Uh, yes, of course I do.

Eli: Well, he’s always asking me to rejoin the bureau. I’m sure he can find me a job in a office in D.C.

Julie: Sounds like a plan.

Eli: I hope so.

Julie: Yeah. Yeah, I hope it all works out. Well, I’ll get jules and carver–

Eli: Oh, grandma…

Julie: It just–I knew I was going to be saying goodbye to lani today. I… I didn’t expect I’d be losing you and the twins too.

Paulina: Mm.

Abe: Oh.

Paulina: [Chuckles]

Abe: Can I get in on this?

Paulina: Oh, abraham! Oh, no, no–abraham, now, uh-uh. Don’t you start crying now. We’ve already finished with that part already.

Lani: And, dad, I am not going that far, and it’s not forever. So save your tears.

Abe: What if I told you these were happy tears?

Lani: [Laughs]

Abe: Well, before you go, could I get you to sign these papers for me?

Lani: What is it?

[Dramatic music]

Oh, my god.

Paulina: What? Wh–what? What is this all about?

Lani: Dad, are you serious?

Paulina: Abe?

Lani: You wanna adopt me?

Paulina: Oh!

[Both chuckle]

Abe: You’re my daughter in every way that counts. I just– I just wanna make it legal.

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis persists…

Brady: Thanks to the drug that you injected sarah with– not to mention the extra dose that your friend gwen gave her– she’s having hallucinations still. You know, she had an episode the other day where she attacked victor.

Kristen: Well, you don’t have to be hallucinating to wanna do that.

Brady: This is not a joke.

Kristen: [Sighs] I am just saying that your grandfather has always had a way of bringing out violent impulses.

Brady: [Sighs] You just don’t get it, do you? You can’t take responsibility for your actions.

Kristen: Well, I’m in here, aren’t I?

Brady: But you have zero empathy for the people that you hurt, and I have to think long and hard as to whether it’s even a good idea for you to see rachel ever again.

Kristen: You don’t get to decide that. I am her mother, brady.

Brady: [Sighs]

Kristen: What is this?

Brady: This is a valentine that your daughter made for her mother.

Kristen: [Sighs] You–you’re about 4 1/2 months late, brady.

Brady: I didn’t know where to send it. I held onto it so I could get it to you.

[Tender music]

Kristen: [Laughs] “Will you be my valentine, mommy? I love you, and I miss you.”

Brady: After they transfer you to statesville, we’ll talk again.

Xander: Oh, no, where are you going?

Sarah: To see kristen.

Xander: Oh, I don’t think that’s a very good idea.

Sarah: She and gwen are the reason I’m like this.

Xander: At least let me come with you.

Sarah: No. I need to do this alone.

Xander: You know how dangerous she can be.

Sarah: She’s locked up. There are guards and iron bars between us. There’s nothing she can do to hurt me anymore.

Xander: But what about what you can do to her?

Julie: You know, even now, when I look at you, I see traits of your father. You have–you have david’s slow, wonderful smile, and–and the way you love, eli–so fiercely and so true.

Eli: He must’ve got that from you.

Julie: My son, david, was so young when his life was cut short. But then– then you came to salem. What a gift. What a wonderful gift for me.

Eli: For me too.

Julie: [Chuckles] Almost like having another son. Of course, I didn’t raise you, and valerie did this terrific job because you’re an extraordinary fella, and we really bonded, didn’t we?

Eli: Yeah.

[Chuckles] Yeah, pretty much.

Julie: [Laughs] Pretty much. And we’re so completely different, but we’re kindred spirits, and even if we disagree about things–important things–I know that you know we’re always on each other’s team.

Eli: Like right now.

Julie: Like right now. All I wanna do is lock you in a box and keep you in salem forever.

Eli: [Laughs]

Julie: I’m not gonna do it… ’cause you leaving is right. It’s what’s right for your family.

[Dramatic music]

[Crying] It’s gonna hurt like hell to let you go.

[Crying]

Chanel: Hey, you.

Theo: Hey, chanel.

Chanel: Hey. What’s going on in there?

Theo: Um, my dad brought a surprise for lani: Adoption papers.

Chanel: Really?

Theo: Yeah, he wants to make it official. He’s gonna ask your sister to be his lawful daughter, which means that she’s gonna be my sister again too.

Chanel: She was always your sister.

Theo: Yeah.

Chanel: So what does that make us?

Theo: [Chuckles] Uh, family.

Chanel: Family.

Theo: [Chuckles]

Lani: I–I had no idea you were doing this.

Abe: Well, it was kind of a last-minute thing, and–

Lani: [Laughs]

Abe: So, um…

[Sniffles] If you would just sign this, and I will file it with the county clerk, and we’ll be good to go.

Lani: [Chuckles] It’s already a done deal in my heart, dad.

Abe: [Chuckles]

Lani: Let the record show that I am your daughter.

[Both laugh]

Paulina: Amen!

Lani: [Laughing] Um… there’s one other thing that needs to be made right before I go. I have made it a point to always let you know that tamara would always be my mother, and that you would just be my auntie P. But now I’ve seen all that you have done for me and all the sacrifices that you have made for me, and I can say for sure now that you are my mother too.

[Chuckles]

Julie: Okay, no more maudlin moments.

Eli: [Chuckles]

Julie: Time to get you and the twins ready to go to the police station to be with lani.

[Sniffles]

Eli: Uh, grandma, I’m not ready yet.

Julie: Oh, why not?

Eli: I’d like to spend a few more moments with a woman I love and admire–my hero.

Julie: [Chuckles]

[Record scratches]

[Old blues music plays]

Eli: Grandma? One last dance before I go?

[Both laugh]

Julie: Why, of course, sir. Glad you picked a slow one.

[Both laugh] I think this is one of david’s favorites.

Eli: I picked it out of the collection you gave me when I first came to salem.

Julie: Perfect. I’m gonna miss you… a lot.

Eli: I’m gonna miss you too. But hey, I’ll be back before you know it, and you and doug better visit.

Julie: [Laughs] Visit? Visit–my gosh. We’re gonna be the houseguests from hell–never leave.

[Both laugh]

Eli: Well, I’m looking forward to it, because I want you to be a part of jules and carver’s lives.

Julie: Don’t say another thing. I’ll start crying again.

Eli: You and me both, grandma. I love you.

Julie: I love you so…

Singer: Come home, yeah!

You got to come home, home

come home announcer: Type 2 diabetes?

Paulina: You made a couple of slips and called me mama, but this isn’t that, is it? This is–this is for real? You really think of me as your mama?

Lani: Since the day I was born, you have tried to protect me and keep me safe even when I didn’t know it, and that is what a mother does. You sacrificed your own happiness for mine. You fought for me, and I am so thankful to have you in my life. I love you, mama.

Paulina: I love you too, baby.

Lani: [Chuckles]

[Sniffles]

Paulina: Oh, baby.

Lani: [Sniffling]

[Dramatic music]

Sarah: Looks like somebody finally has a heart.

Chanel: [Sighs]

Lani: Thank you for being here. I love you two so much.

Chanel: I love you, too, and I hear congratulations are in order–for all of you.

Abe: Oh, thank you. Thank you, chanel.

Lani: Turns out this day isn’t all that bad.

Eli: Did I miss some good news?

Lani: Uh, dad surprised me. Um, he’s adopting me.

Julie: No kidding?

[Laughter]

Abe: Yeah, it’s–she’s already my daughter, and we’re gonna make it official–again.

Lani: Pretty great, huh? And how lucky am I?

Julie: Oh, I think it’s clear that abe has gotten the good end of the deal.

[Laughter]

Abe: Oh, yeah, you don’t have to tell me.

Eli: That’s–that’s good news. Nah, I’m sorry, that’s great news. But I have some news as well.

Trelegy for copd.

Paulina: Just give me five minutes alone in a room with this vivian alamain, and we’ll see–we’ll see if she still wants to mess with our daughter.

Eli: As entertaining as that sounds, I’m afraid lani going to statesville is not an option.

Lani: Wait, what? Then where am I going?

Eli: There’s a minimum security facility in maryland. Rafe’s trying to work out a transfer.

Abe: Maryland?

Eli: It’s a short drive from my mother’s house. Baby, if rafe can make this happen, the twins and I are going with you.

Lani: You’re gonna–you’re gonna move to D.C.?

Paulina: With the twins?

Lani: Honey, should– shouldn’t we talk about this before you decide on it?

Rafe: It’s done.

Eli: You got the approval?

Rafe: I did, yeah. Lani can serve out her sentence at the facility in maryland, and well, as far as prisons go, it’s a nice, safe place.

Lani: I can’t believe you are doing this for me.

Eli: Lani, everything that I do is for you.

Lani: [Sighs]

Rafe: Hey, I’m glad it worked out for you.

[Indistinct] It’s a drag to be losing two of my best cops, though… and my best friends.

Lani: Thank you, boss.

Rafe: Yeah. Hey, you take care of yourself, all right?

Lani: Mm-hmm.

[Sniffles]

Eli: I’m gonna miss you.

Rafe: Yeah, man. Same here. Go ahead.

Sarah: Thanks to you and your partner in crime, I’ve been seeing your face all over town.

Kristen: Mm, I heard about your hallucinations.

Sarah: You destroyed my life, kristen. I’m doing everything I can to get it back.

Kristen: Good luck with that.

Sarah: [Chuckles] Well, at least I know that the real you is in here, and you can’t hurt anyone else. I hope they never let you out.

[Door clicks shut]

Rafe: Well, I will let you all say your goodbyes, and I’ll ask detective grant to take you to transport, all right?

Eli: Thank you.

Rafe: Yeah.

Lani: Thank you.

Rafe: All right.

Julie: You’re the last person in the world that even needs to hear this– but you must be strong for your husband, for your babies.

Lani: I will do my best, and if I start to wear down, I’ll just ask myself, “what would julie do?”

[Chuckles]

Julie: What a great notion. Do you suppose we could make that a rule for everybody to follow?

[Laughter] I love you so.

Lani: I love you.

[Chuckles]

Chanel: I just got used to having a big sister around.

Theo: I know what you mean.

Lani: [Sniffles]

[Sighs] You’ll still have a big sister, and don’t think that I’m not gonna be calling you both and giving you grief and asking you all the annoying questions about your love life.

[Laughter]

Chanel: Oh, girl, don’t even.

[Both siffling]

Lani: Make me proud, you two, okay? Come here. I know we just made it official–

[Chuckles] But I–I really don’t know what I would’ve done if I didn’t have you these past few years.

[Both laugh]

Abe: Oh… you know, I, um… I suspect–I know that you would’ve done all right. You’re a wonder. You’re a wonder, lani, and uh, my world is a better place because you’re in it, and I love you.

[Sniffles] I love you forever… and a day.

Lani: [Sniffles] I love you, too, dad. I love you so much.

Abe: Oh…

Lani: [Sniffles]

Abe: I know I don’t have to tell you this, but take care of my little girl, all right?

Eli: There’s nothing more I’d rather do.

Paulina: And if you don’t, you’re gonna have to answer to me too.

Eli: [Chuckles] Yeah, I’ve been listening to you ever since you came to salem, paulina.

Paulina: [Laughs] A man who knows his place– he’s a keeper.

[Laughter]

Lani: Don’t I know it?

Paulina: [Laughs]

Paulina: Lani, I–

[Both sigh]

Lani: There’s something new– paulina price, speechless.

Paulina: Ooh, I got plenty of words, little girl.

Lani: [Laughs]

Paulina: It’s just that none of them change the fact that this all ends in us saying goodbye.

Lani: Yeah.

Paulina: Could you just– could you say it–say it for me one more time? Just, you know, say it slow, but I know you mean it.

Lani: Mom.

Paulina: Yeah, could you say it louder?

Lani: Mom, mom, mom.

[Laughs]

Paulina: Oh…

Lani: I love you, mom.

Paulina: Oh, I love you too. Oh, I love you so much, lani, and I’m just–I’m so–I’m so proud of you every second of every day! And just know that I promise– I promise I’m gonna see you. I’m gonna see you. I’m gonna see you soon.

Abe: You know, we’ll all– we’ll all get through this together.

Lani: [Sniffling] Yeah.

[Sighs] Oh, my sweet carver and jules. Ah, look at you two. My babies, mama’s going on a little trip, okay? But daddy promises to bring you to see me as soon as he can, okay? And I will never, ever stop thinking of you, and even when we’re apart, we’re gonna be together, okay? Right here. Right here. I love you, my angels. Mama loves you so much. I love you. Okay, okay. I love you. I love you.

Paulina: Hello.

[Baby talk]

Charlie: Paris. Take this ring, place it on his finger, and repeat after me. I, paris…

Paris: I, paris…

Charlie: Give you this ring

Paris: Give you this ring

Charlie: As a token of my affection.

Paris: As a token of my affection.

[ Quinn panting ]

Carter: Quinn?

Donna: So, um brooke’s still out?

Katie: Yep. What are you doing back here?

Donna: Oh. I don’t know. Uh, what are you still doing here?

Katie: Working. I get a lot of time and it’s nice and quiet.

Donna: Mm, and safe, uh, with the security outside. It’s like fort knox.

Katie: Well, sheila is still out there somewhere.

Donna: Yes. And until the police catch her, brooke is going to be careful.

Katie: So is ridge. He has around the clock security for both brooke and taylor.

[ Door sliding ]

Taylor: Hey.

Thomas: Hey.

Taylor: How’s the new surfboard?

Thomas: Eh, it’s, uh, it’s good. It’s good. Yeah, it’s just, uh, I– I don’t wanna stay out there for too long. I make sure you’re– you’re safe.

Taylor: You mean until sheila is back behind bars?

Taylor: Yes. Yeah. And hopefully that will be very, very soon. But until then, you’ve got yourself a temporary roomie.

Taylor: Yay! Well, honey, I’m glad you’re here. But– but, you know, you don’t have to stay here. Your dad has beefed up the security so much out there, I’m– I’m safe.

Thomas: Yeah, I know. I just– I want to keep my own watchful eye on you. Okay? Sheila’s unpredictable. Who knows what she’s going to do? So we got to stay vigilant till that psycho’s caught.

[ Machines beeping ]

Sheila: I need you to open your eyes, sweetheart. Please. Finn, just open your eyes. Why won’t you wake up?

Taylor: I still feel so foolish for even thinking that sheila could change. I– if I wasn’t so busy having a kumbaya moment with her, maybe I–

Thomas: Mom, come on. Nothing you did or didn’t do caused what happened.

Taylor: I know, but still. I wonder if she’s in L.A.

Thomas: I wonder how she lives with herself, after she killed her own son?

Sheila: I’m here, baby. Your mother is right here. Right here.

Katie: So something tells me that you’re here not just for a friendly visit with your sister.

Donna: Uh, am I that transparent?

[ Both laughing ]

Katie: What’s going on?

Donna: Um… well, uh…

Katie: What? Does this have anything to do with the new man in your life?

Donna: Uh… it has everything to do with him. But, he isn’t new. It’s eric.

Katie: Ah.

Carter: Quinn. What are you doing here?

Quinn: I’m sorry. I– I’m sorry. I know, I know I’m interrupting, but believe me, nothing was going to stop me from– from getting here to say what I need to say, and– from telling you what you need to hear.

Thomas: Okay. So if you go to the office, can you please just let me know I can go with you, or we can let one of the security guards know and they can accompany you.

Taylor: Thank you. But I– I think I’m just going to stay here and work from home, you know? And now that my handsome son is living here, temporarily, I get to spend quality time with him.

Thomas: Well, I love spending quality time with you, too. Um, have you been spending any quality time with, uh, dad?

Taylor: Hm, parent trap!

[ Both laughing ] Honey, I’ve told you. Listen, if it happens, wonderful. And if it doesn’t?

Taylor: Well, no, no. Don’t– don’t really say that.

Taylor: If it doesn’t, if it doesn’t– he’s the biggest dummy in the world.

Taylor: That’s true. Yeah. Like, I– I’m not saying that dad needs to be cornered or forced into realizing something. I think he should definitely just realize that on his own, that his future is with you. Not with brooke.

Katie: I had no idea about you and eric.

Donna: Well, we were very discreet. Until today.

Katie: Until quinn caught you. Quinn and bridget.

Donna: Hope knows too.

Katie: Whoa, hope knows too? How?

Donna: Ah– I’ll just explain later, okay? I just– the point is… the truth is out. Okay, you’re not saying anything. You’re worrying me. What– what are you thinking?

Katie: Uhm… under normal circumstances, I believe that marriage should be respected, but we’re talking about quinn here. And shdid cheat on eric with carter.

Donna: And that’s exactly why eric couldn’t move beyond that. Quinn fell in love with carter, and she still is.

Katie: Wh– what?

Donna: So much so, she raced out of there and she’s trying to stop the wedding.

Paris: We’re in the middle of our wedding, quinn. You need to leave. Charlie? Yeah– go ahead and finish the ceremony.

Charlie: Right. Right. Uh– carter, uh, carter, you want me to go on?

Bill: This has got to be good.

Paris: Look. This is crazy. I don’t know what quinn is up to, but just tell her to leave. We can not let her spoil this special moment for us.

Quinn: I apologize again for bursting in. I know this is your wedding day, and– and it’s supposed to be special.

Paris: Then just go.

Quinn: I can’T. Not until I speak with carter. Not until you hear what I have to say. So many things have happened. It changed everything. But one thing that hasn’t changed is my love for you. Carter, I love you more than anything in this world. And I can’t– I can’t let you go.

[ Machines beeping ]

[ Sheila sighing ]

Sheila: Come on, baby. Open those eyes. I just want to see those beautiful eyes looking back at me. I can’t lose you, finn. I just can’t lose you again.

Taylor: Thomas. Look at these pictures of babies. Oh my gosh.

Thomas: Oh!

Taylor: Oh.

Thomas: Oh, it’s cute!

Taylor: I know.

Thomas: You’re, uh, you’re missing them a lot, aren’t ya?

Taylor: So much, so much. I– I miss the way it was before sheila went on a rampage and took so much from steffy and the kids. Look, I– thomas, I know that your sister is– is going to get through this. Of course. And she’s– she’s going to be everything that she needs to be to kelly and hayes, but– my heart hurts, when I think about the four of them together. And– and just knowing that it’ll never be the same again.

Thomas: You’re right. For steffy and the kids, it’s not going to be the same. But they could have a life that’s just as good, moving forward, it’s going to be different. And with dad, his life isn’t going to be the same either. But he could definitely have a– a better life moving forward, with you.

Taylor: Thomas, I swear!

Thomas: Hold on, hold on! I’m just say– I’m just saying that dad, right now, is not technically with brooke, okay? And he’s over at granddad’s house. He’s trying to figure out what’s next for him. If I was a betting man, I’m just saying that– that the odds are likely, and– and he realize that um, you’re– you’re much better for him. His life is better with you.

Katie: Quinn went to stop carter from marrying paris?

Donna: Yeah. And whether she got there or not is anyone’s guess, I–

Katie: Okay, well, there’s– there’s a lot to unpack there, but, uh. One thing’s for sure. Quinn’s marriage to eric is over.

Donna: And I know a lot of people might think what eric and I did was wrong, but– I mean, our relationship was never anything sordid, anything but. I mean, we’re each other’s best friends, we’re– we relax, we make each other happy, and– and what we have is just– it’s really beautiful.

Katie: I think they call that love.

Donna: Yeah, I think they do. I love him and– he said he loves me. And I– I don’t know what’s going to happen next, but, I really think my future is going to be with eric.

Katie: Aw, honey.

[ Both giggling ]

Quinn: I know this is the last thing you expected. For me to walk in here and– and say what I just did. But I– I couldn’t live with myself if I let you go through with it. I– I– I couldn’t let you go through with a marriage that we both know you don’t really want.

Paris: You did not just say that! Tell me she didn’t just say that.

Ridge: Enough with the theatrics, please. What is this all about?

Quinn: I ju– just said what this is all about, ridge. It’s about my love for carter.

Ridge: Well, what– what about your marriage to my father? Is that anything or–

Quinn: My marriage to eric is over. He wants to be with donna.

Ridge: He wants what?

Quinn: Oh, come on! Ridge! You never approved of your father and me being together in the first place. I figured you’d be the happiest person in the world about this news.

Ridge: Right, I’m not saying I’m not happy, I just want to know what happened–

Quinn: You don’t– can I explain all of this to you later? ‘Cause right now, I had to– I had to tell you how I feel. That it’s you. You’re the one. You’re the man for me. And if it sounds like I am hopelessly, desperately in love, it is because I am, from the very second you and I ever connected. We have been working so hard to do the right thing. We’ve been running for our feelings so that we wouldn’t hurt the people that we love. But I– I’m done. I’m done running. I’m done hiding. So I just– I just want to say it over and over and over again. I love you. I love you. I love you, carter. I don’t care who knows. I don’t care what anyone has to say. I love you. And I want to make my life, with you.

Paris: Don’t listen to her, carter. She’s trying to stop you from moving on to your future, trying to stop you from moving on in general. You belong with me and not her.

Ever notice how stiff clothes can feel rough on your skin?

Sheila: Why did you have to lie to me, li? I never wanted to hurt you.

[ Car crashing ]

Mama’s right here, baby. Mama is always going to be right here.

Katie: I’m so happy for you.

Donna: I’m happy for me, too. Eric is just– oh, he just feels terrible that quinn got hurt. Even though she still loves carter. And that’s why she ran over to il giardino when she found out they were done. Can you believe she’s been suppressing these feelings for carter this whole time?

Katie: Well, not anymore. Poor guy. He deserves better.

Donna: I know. But eric is actually hoping that she gets there in time. He encouraged her to run over there and stop the wedding.

Katie: Bright side is– is eric is free. You can be with the man you love. I feel sorry for paris. And though this wedding was rushed and unexpected.

Donna: I know. I know. And– and I think carter was just running from his feelings for quinn.

Katie: Well, that could all change after today.

Donna: Maybe he and quinn could be reunited as well.

Ridge: Well, maybe we should give you some privacy so you can talk.

Paris: No, there’s nothing to talk about. Charlie was just about to pronounce us man and wife. And we will not let quinn get in the way of our special day, will we, carter? This is our wedding. Just tell her to leave, okay? Make it clear to quinn, once and for all, that your future is with me.

Quinn: Carter. I love you. More than I ever thought it was possible to love any man on this planet. Your love has changed me in the most amazing ways. I’m the best version of myself when I’m with you. You make me feel calm, and at peace. You’re the man that I want to kiss every night before I go to sleep. You’re the man that I want to wake up to, every single morning. And I want to hold you in my arms. And I want to love you, every moment of every day, for the rest of my life.

Paris: Okay. Just a few more words and we’ll be husband and wife, carter. Just please– let’s make this happen.

The series is adapted from the true crime memoir “In with the Devil: A Fallen Hero, a Serial Killer, and a Dangerous Bargain for Redemption” by James Keene and Hillel Levin. Inspired by actual events, when high school football hero, decorated policeman’s son and convicted drug dealer Jimmy Keene (Taron Egerton) is sentenced to 10 years in a minimum security prison, he is given the choice of a lifetime – enter a maximum-security prison for the criminally insane and befriend suspected serial killer Larry Hall (Paul Walter Hauser), or stay where he is and serve his full sentence with no possibility of parole. Keene quickly realizes his only way out is to elicit a confession and find out where the bodies of several young girls are buried before Hall’s appeal goes through. But is this suspected killer telling the truth? Or is it just another tale from a serial liar? This dramatic and captivating story subverts the crime genre by enlisting the help of the very people put behind bars to solve its mysteries. In addition to Egerton and Hauser, “Black Bird” stars Sepideh Moafi, Greg Kinnear and Ray Liotta. Promo

  • Ovation THE DOCTOR BLAKE MYSTERIES – Thursday, July 7 Show More
    The Doctor Blake Mysteries next month. The original, period murder mystery series, stars one of Australia’s favorite, most versatile actors – Craig McLachlan – as the maverick town doctor Lucien Blake, an impulsive risk-taker who’s not afraid to upset the status quo. Created by George Adams and Tony Wright, the first season of The Doctor Blake Mysteries will begin airing on Ovation TV on Thursday, July 7 at 8am ET. With four episodes airing back-to-back every Thursday, season two will then begin airing on Thursday, July 21 at 11am ET. It’s 1959. Dr. Blake has returned to this place he once called home, to take over his dead father’s medical practice. Everything seems peaceful on the surface, but seething underneath are the age-old passions of a regional town clashing head-on with the tension and fears of the decade to come. Haunted by the horrors of war, his own personal loss and changed by his experiences as a POW, the wry, dry, yet very human Dr. Blake undertakes his other role as Police Surgeon with precision and gusto – yet many find his unpredictable and unconventional manner unnerving. Ahead of his time, Blake looks to the science of forensics and his own understanding of the human heart and mind to help solve the mysteries that inevitably come his way. Set in the gothic gold rush town of Ballarat, the wealth that built its grand architecture is long gone – but not the mysteries, murder, and deceit that linger beneath the surface of its faded glory. Beside Blake, helping and at times hindering, are his housekeeper Jean (Nadine Garner); her nephew Danny (Rick Donald), a young Constable; District Nurse Mattie O’Brien (Cate Wolfe); and Chief Superintendent Matthew Lawson (Joel Tobeck).

    ‘20/20’ Airs Friday, July 8 (9:01-11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC
    Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie captured national attention when the two left for a cross-country adventure, sharing their seemingly happy world via social media, but only Laundrie returned. Laundrie went back to his family’s Florida residence, without his fiancé, and Petito’s family demanded answers about her whereabouts. When Laundrie vanished, the attention intensified as internet sleuths who helped crack the case wide open investigated and theorized, garnering over 1 billion views on TikTok for #GabbyPetito. A two-hour “20/20” reports on the horror that unfolded in the beauty of Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park, the search for Laundrie and eventual discovery of his remains. Authorities determined Laundrie killed Petito and died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. On the heels of Laundrie’s family’s attorney releasing Brian’s notebook where he admits to killing Petito, the program also reveals new details about the civil lawsuit the Petito family filed against Laundrie’s parents and gives an update on the ongoing efforts of the Gabby Petito Foundation. The program also includes interviews with Jim Winder, former Moab, Utah, police chief; experts on body language; and legal analysts, who discuss the viral body camera footage from the couple’s police stop in Moab, days before Petito disappeared; Miranda Baker, a young woman who gave a hitchhiking Laundrie a ride in Wyoming; Jenn Bethune, who found the couple’s missing van and called the FBI; Jason Jensen, a private investigator and co-founder of the Cold Case Coalition who searched Grand Teton National Park with his cadaver dog; and Mykel Hawke, a retired special forces combat veteran and survival expert who takes “20/20” cameras through the dangerous swamps of the Carlton Reserve in Florida, where authorities found Laundrie’s body. The program dives into why the Petito case went viral and the outcry for the same attention to be applied to the cold cases of others – especially people of color and Indigenous women who have disappeared in the same area as Petito. “20/20” airs Friday, July 8 (9:01-11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC.

    The departed souls are a close-knit, eclectic group that includes a saucy Prohibition-era lounge singer; a pompous 1700s militiaman; a ‘60s hippie fond of hallucinogens; an overly upbeat ‘80s scout troop leader; a cod-obsessed Viking explorer from 1009; a slick ‘90s finance bro; a sarcastic and witty native from the 1500s; and a society woman and wife of an 1800s robber baron who is Samantha’s ancestor, to name a few. If the spirits were anxious about the commotion a renovation and B&B will create in their home, it’s nothing compared to when they realize Samantha is the first live person who can see and hear them.

    Interview with Catherine Bell and Tom Stevens

    TV Interview!

    Tom Stevens and Catherine Bell of "Jailbreak Lovers" on Lifetime

    Interview with Tom Stevens and Catherine Bell of “Jailbreak Lovers” on Lifetime by Suzanne 6/1/22

    This was from a LIfetime press day covering three different movies. It was great to speak to Catherine Bell, who has been on so many series and in many movies. I’ve spoken with Tom Stevens a few times before. They were both great in this movie. Even though the movie is about two felons, it has a humorous side to it that improves on the story. I enjoyed it. Also, there are many dogs, which elevates it even further.

    MODERATOR:  Wonderful. Well, thank you all for coming to our Summer 2022 Virtual Press Day. Please join me in welcoming the stars of “Jailbreak Lovers.” We have with us today executive producer and star Catherine Bell along with her costar Tom Stevens. First up is Tamara.

    QUESTION:  Hi, how are you?

    TOM STEVENS:  I’m good, Tamara, how you doing?

    QUESTION:  I’m good. Thank you. So Toby always followed the rules and did what was expected of her. Can you guys identify with the character’s desire to be carefree, coloring outside the lines, not being perfect, or simply being wild and free for once?

    CATHERINE BELL:  Well, I think probably anyone could relate to that.  Hopefully, people don’t resort to this sort of a, (laughs) craziness but, you know, I think there’s always that idea of, like, “Ooh, what if I, you know, broke the rules and did something wild for a moment.” I think that’s what – I wanted to at least give a sense of like – People are always going why would someone do this? Why would someone break the law and do something like this and, hopefully, we give you guys a little insight into where that comes from.

    QUESTION:  Thank you.

    TOM STEVENS:  Yeah, and I agree. I think that every person needs to kind of check in on their life at some point and go am I coloring too within the lines, o do I need to go outside of my comfort zone, because I think out of your comfort zone, outside your comfort zone is where you really learn who you are.

    CATHERINE BELL:  Yeah.

    QUESTION:  Thank you.

    MODERATOR:  Wonderful. Thank you. Up next, we have a question from Suzanne. Suzanne, you may feel free to unmute.

    QUESTION:  Hi. Catherine, since you were a producer on this movie, did you have any influence over the tone of the movie? It’s a little less serious than most Lifetime movies I’ve seen.

    CATHERINE BELL:  You know, Katie Boland is our beautiful director. She brought her vision to this, which was this playful and high-energy and sexy and fun spirit. You know, I really — I think Tom and I both really enjoyed making this movie because it had all of that in it. It was just this fast-paced and just wild adventure that these two were on and, you know, definitely you have some say as a producer, but I got to say it all just kind of came together magically. There wasn’t a whole lot to do except become this character on my end, you know.

    QUESTION:  And that same for you, Tom?

    TOM STEVENS:  Yeah, no, I mean, I didn’t have the same kind of hand in it as Catherine did, but I mean it was what we brought kind of fit exactly what Katie wanted, what Catherine and I were doing, and it was just so fun to just — Like we shot so many scenes kind of like back to back to back to back and we always found like a fun way of connecting as these two people, because in the prison it was like a secret love, and then when we were out in the cabin it was more spontaneous and free, and every single time Catherine and I brought like a really strong connection and, yeah, it was just always fun. You know, every scene was always fun to shoot.

    QUESTION:  Well, thanks. It was fun to watch.

    CATHERINE BELL:  We joke we want to do a sequel. I don’t think it’ll happen. They’re not together, but we had too much making it.

    TOM STEVENS:  Yeah.

    QUESTION:  As long as you have dogs. That’s the good thing.

    CATHERINE BELL:  Right, exactly.

    TOM STEVENS:  Prison pen pals and dogs.

    QUESTION:  Thank you.

    MODERATOR:  Wonderful. Thank you, Suzanne. Up next we have Jamie. Jamie, you may feel free to unmute.

    QUESTION:  Hi, thanks for talking to us today.  So can you kind of talk about when you’re doing something that’s based on real people, like, how — Can you talk about balancing kind of what you pull from that versus what you’re able to creatively add from yourself, for both of you?

    CATHERINE BELL:  Tom, you go.

    TOM STEVENS:  Oh, you want me to go.

    CATHERINE BELL:  Yeah.

    TOM STEVENS:  Yeah, Jamie, good to see you again.

    QUESTION:  You too.

    TOM STEVENS:  Yeah, it’s I think with John, he — like with Maynard, uh, there wasn’t a lot about him.  There’s kind of the story.  There’s a lot of Moll and like of everything that she went through, but for John it was kind of more free for me to just bring the foil to her husband, do you know what I mean? Like I had to represent something that was something that she was missing in her life, and it was a more free experience to build the character rather than actually like, you know, having interviews that I could bounce off of, like Catherine obviously had.

    CATHERINE BELL:  Yeah. I, on the other hand, had a lot of interviews, and I watched all the ones that I could find of Toby.  Obviously, I don’t look anything like her so I gave that up quickly.  But there’s an essence to her that I tried to get.  You know, there’s just she’s got that little bit of the Kansas accent and, yeah, just this sweet woman who really just was totally taken by surprise by this guy, and it just completely altered the course of her life.  But, yeah, it was a lot of fun trying to become this woman who is very different than myself.

    QUESTION:  Thank you so much, both of you.

    CATHERINE BELL:  Thank you.

    TOM STEVENS:  Thanks, Jamie.

    MODERATOR:  Thank you, Jamie.  Up next is Mike Hughes. Mike, feel free to unmute.

    QUESTION:  Okay. There we go. Okay, cool. Probably shortly after you finish this another real-life case like this came up in Alabama where someone escaped with (inaudible). I was wondering did this give you like special interest in it? Did you kind of follow that news story extra special? Do you may root for them or anything like that?

    CATHERINE BELL:  I mean, you know, yeah, it was unbelievable that that happened. It was like, okay, life imitating art imitating real life, you know. It’s interesting that this happens a fair amount, you know, that these guys are in this unusual situation in a prison and fall for each other. The idea for me of crossing that line and going, “Yeah, let’s break out of jail,” I mean, really, you’re never going to get away with it, you know. That one ended very tragically but, yeah, it’s just fascinating.

    QUESTION:  You didn’t root for them —

    TOM STEVENS:  Yeah.

    CATHERINE BELL:  What’s that?

    TOM STEVENS:  Were you rooting for them, Catherine?

    CATHERINE BELL:  Was I (laughs), I mean, I don’t think — no, I wasn’t really thinking about it either way. It was very, very sad, of course, how it ended but, yeah, I would have preferred a happier ending than that, for sure.

    TOM STEVENS:  Yeah. And we kind of tell – we kind of tell the fictitious fun side of this, and I mean the true story between Toby and John is, you know, a little darker than this like in reality than the story that we told, and I’m sure that that story was darker, too. So, I mean, we can have with this because we’re making a movie about it but, you know, these people were going through something.  Yeah, it’s more serious when it’s real.

    QUESTION:  Okay. Thanks.

    MODERATOR:  Wonderful. Thank you, Mike. Up next we have Jay Bobbin. Jay, feel free to unmute.

    QUESTION:  Hi, folks. Hi, Catherine. How are you?

    CATHERINE BELL:  Hi, Jay.

    QUESTION:  Hi, good to see you.

    TOM STEVENS:  Hi, Jay.

    QUESTION:  Catherine, question for you. You’ve done non-edgy for so many years now.  To step back into something that is decidedly edgy, an actor acts, obviously, that’s their profession, but was it an easy thing for you or did it take working up to this a little bit having done Cassie for so many years?

    CATHERINE BELL:  Yeah, you know what? It’s always challenging to me, which is probably why I love acting so much.  It’s never just like, oh, a piece of cake.  Like it’s like, oh, who is this person, and in the beginning you don’t know who they are or how to become them and watching her interviews and kind of just trying to work on that was a beautiful challenge. I really loved it – really, really love stepping into this. And, yeah, edgy, edgy and also a very kind of withdrawn, like kind of toned-down person as well, someone who’s not so confident or whatever. So it was just a lot of fun for me to play all of those things.

    QUESTION:  Thanks a lot.

    TOM STEVENS:  Yeah, it was fun to witness, actually. It was fun to watch you build the character, yeah, yeah.

    CATHERINE BELL:  Thank you. We had so much fun together.

    TOM STEVENS:  I know.

    MODERATOR:  Thank you, Jay.  Up next we have “Starry Constellation Magazine.”

    QUESTION:  Well, Tom, they say you should never work with ids and animals onscreen, and you worked with a number of dogs. Talk about the training you went through for dog training.

    TOM STEVENS:  So I’m an advocate for Cesar Mila and everything that he does with behavioral science and dog science, and I have a dog of my own that I have put through a rigorous training, and it comes naturally to me to be around animals and to be like an alpha or like a calm sort of presence with them. So that wasn’t hard for me.  What was when the dogs didn’t care that I was a calm presence or authoritative presence, and they were like my trainer’s behind the camera, and I could do whatever I want right now for the next thirty seconds while the cameras are rolling, and he starts eating a toy in the middle of our scene.  So there’s like there’s certain things that you can’t control when like a dog’s just on the side, and he just kind of starts doing his own thing, but there’s like a lot of things that you can do to just be like the calm presence for the dogs that they respect. They say don’t work with animals because animals are in the moment, and the audience will always be drawn to them, so it kind of forces you to be in the moment with the dog, and then it’s interesting for the audience to watch.

    MODERATOR:  Awesome. Thank you. Up next we have Cynthia Horner.

    QUESTION:  Hello.

    CATHERINE BELL:  Hi.

    TOM STEVENS:  Hi, hi, hi.

    QUESTION:  I would like to ask both of you this question what is a memorable behind the scenes moment that you can tell us about when you were filming?

    TOM STEVENS:  Hm.

    CATHERINE BELL:  Hm.

    TOM STEVENS:  There were a lot, there were a lot.

    CATHERINE BELL:  I instantly thought of the car chase stuff.  That was just so much fun.

    TOM STEVENS:  That was so much fun.

    CATHERINE BELL:  Yeah. Actually, driving and then on the top of the truck where they’re towing you and you’re pretending there’s so much going on. We had some good laughs.

    TOM STEVENS:  And getting arrested. I think I loved the feeling as when we got out of week one, when we got out of the prison. I mean we were shooting a prison movie so a lot of it had to be done on location in this corrections facility, and it felt very much like repeated scenes, like we were doing like similar scenes over and over and over again in this box, and then when we got out of that week it was like this freedom just opened up, and it really felt like the characters got to like go and see new places, and go to different restaurants, and do all this stuff. It was very much what the character is going through. So I love that like transition into the Toby and John being free period.

    CATHERINE BELL:  True. I also really loved all the stuff in the cabin. It was just such a tiny, little cabin and our whole crew really bonded. Just it was, you know, just — It was Halloween, too, right, and the crew came in with the crazy costumes on and we were in our Toby and John costumes —

    TOM STEVENS:  In our little, yeah — And it like nearly drowned us in rain. It was pouring rain so hard. It was like flooding around the cabin, it was crazy. And then our DP is in a Sumo suit, and it was hilarious.

    QUESTION:  Wow, you guys had great stories to tell. Thank you.

    TOM STEVENS:  No worries, Cynthia.

    CATHERINE BELL:  Thank you, Cynthia.

    MODERATOR:  Wonderful. Thank you, Cynthia. Up next we have Rick Bentley. Rick?

    QUESTION:  Hi, can you hear me?

    CATHERINE BELL: (Inaudible @ 00:14:32).

    QUESTION:  Great. I’m sorry. Hey, Catherine, I’m just curious. This sort of ripped from the headlines, it’s something that’s been going on for years, and obviously there’s a big audience for that out there, do you think it’s a situation of people being sort of living vicariously through these wild moments or is it there by the grace of God goes me?

    CATHERINE BELL:  Oh, man. You know, I’m sure it’s just that natural curiosity that all humans have of like what is going on in someone’s else world, you know. And, yes, this is a crazy world. It’s something that, hopefully, most people will never experience, and then there’s that other, you know, the concept of what were thinking? Why would somebody do that? So, hopefully, they get a little taste of that with what Tom and I did, you know, just the how they fell in love and what led this to this crazy idea that they might get away with running away together, you know.

    QUESTION:  Thank you.

    CATHERINE BELL:  Thank you.

    MODERATOR:  Awesome. Thank you, Rick. Up next is Luaine Lee. Luaine.

    QUESTION:  Yeah, Catherine, you were talking about the challenge and how you really adore the challenge in acting, and you’ve been doing it a long time, so what is it that you like best about acting and television, and what do you like the least?

    CATHERINE BELL:  In television as opposed to film you mean or just in general, acting?

    QUESTION:  Well, just in general acting.

    CATHERINE BELL:  Yeah. I think I love so much about it. I love the process. I love the finding the character, and as I mentioned, the challenges of that, it keeps me on my toes and always wanting to improve and be better and even up until the scene is over, you’re still okay, “Well, the next take I want to try this. I want to do that. I want to make this better or different.” I love the camaraderie, and there’s just such a sense of family on these shows that you do together, movies, shows, whatever. You just meet such beautiful people, and so much I love about it. I love the effect it has on people when they’re watching it. I think probably I love the adventure of travel and going to different locations, but sometimes that’s challenging for my family, you know, just to be away so much, so that’s probably, if I could say here’s something I don’t like about it, sometimes that gets challenging. But, again, you just — I’ m so grateful for what I get to do, so I got no complaints.

    QUESTION:  So what’s the worst part of it?

    CATHERINE BELL:  Yeah, I think that, you know, being along in a hotel room for weeks at a time, especially in COVID.  There was one stretch I took my son to Toronto for “Good Witch”. It was thirteen weeks away from home. I couldn’t go back and forth because of the travel quarantine. That was intense.

    QUESTION:  Oh, wow. Thank you.

    CATHERINE BELL:  Yeah, thank you.

    MODERATOR:  Thank you, Luaine. And then we have Steve (Gitmo @ 00:17:26). Steve?

    QUESTION:  Hey, how are you guys?

    CATHERINE BELL:  Hey, good.

    TOM STEVENS:  I’m good.

    QUESTION:  Good. I just wanted to ask how familiar were you or at all familiar with this story? Was it all kind of news to both of you when you got the script?

    CATHERINE BELL:  I haven’t heard of it at all. When I started telling people about it a lot of people remembered seeing it on the news. It was on “Dateline” and “Anderson Cooper” and all of that, but I hadn’t heard of it at all. You, Tom?

    TOM STEVENS:  Yeah, no, same. The escaping out of prison in a dog crate. I think it maybe a rang a bell but maybe I’m like, yeah, maybe that’s just a logical way to sneak out of prison.  But the case itself I hadn’t heard anything about it, then I started reading the script, and it was just so fun.

    CATHERINE BELL:  Yeah.

    QUESTION:  And, Tom, can you actually fit in a dog crate?

    TOM STEVENS:  Easily, easily. That dog crate was too easy to fit into. I wanted a smaller one. I wanted to do contortion, you know.

    QUESTION:  Thanks so much.

    TOM STEVENS:  Thank you.

    QUESTION:  Awesome. Thank you.  And we’re going to be wrapping here momentarily but I see two more hands are up. Jamie from SciFi Vision, did you have another question?

    QUESTION:  Yeah, I can go again. I was going to ask about the dog crate, but so what did the two of you learn about yourselves from working on this show either as performers or just as people in general?

    CATHERINE BELL:  Ooh.

    TOM STEVENS:  Ooh.

    CATHERINE BELL:  Wow. Tom, do you want to answer? I want to think about that.

    TOM STEVENS:  I think what I learned about myself was it’s — With all the challenges that came with this there’s a lot of layers to John and playing John, and when I ever felt like I was kind of lost in it all I knew I had to do was connect with Catherine, and I don’t know if I learned that about myself, but I did learn that I can trust in Catherine whenever I feel like I’m lost in a scene. Is that me learning something? I don’t know. I learned that about Catherine.

    CATHERINE BELL:  Hm, thank you. Yeah, I had such an incredible time working with you and our connection. It was just really, really special; really, just like you said, you just look in your eyes and it was like all there, and I don’t know.

    TOM STEVENS:  Yeah.

    CATHERINE BELL:  It was probably just a great realization that I can do this sort of a role, which was so different for me and being able to trust in you and just making that happen. It was so magical.

    TOM STEVENS:  Yeah.

    QUESTION:  Well, thank you and I enjoyed it, so.

    TOM STEVENS:  Thank you, Jamie. We loved it, too.

    MODERATOR:  Awesome, and now our final question is from Mike Hughes. Mike?

    QUESTION:  Yeah. I’ll just ask real briefly, all your impressions of working when you were in the correction facility there, it looked like it wasn’t a high security one. It looked like it was maybe medium or a low-security facility. Nothing struck you about it there and did you get a chance to interact with the prisoners at all? Were they friendly to you? Just give us your overall impressions.

    TOM STEVENS:  Yeah.

    CATHERINE BELL:  Yeah. Well, it wasn’t an active prison, so it was actually shut down. So, but still I, for me, it was very — And, Tom, you were the one in the cell, but so cold, so impersonal. I can’t even imagine being in a cell like that for years or for life. It’s just wow, where I really just realized what that experience could be like, just a little taste of it.

    TOM STEVENS:  Yeah. Again, it’s an old youth center, so it’s a youth correction center in Burnaby that we were shooting in and all the other prisoners were background so, you know, not actual prisoners, but I did get a chance on my other show in Halifax I got to talk to a lady on our crew who had spent four months in prison that year on a charge that she was serving from years prior. It just all caught up with her, and she’s a good friend of mine and we sat down and just like hatch — She gave me as much insight on what living in prison was like, and I just asked for words that would come up in her mind every day, like what’s something that you would think every single day, and frustration is a big one, and you can feel frustrated places like that because it, like Catherine said, it’s so confined and so isolating, and there’s no time, and you just — It’s very plain and uncomfortable. Like there’s no cushions. So you can imagine a human being whose mind needs stimulation become completely frustrated in a situation like that.

    QUESTION:  Okay, thanks.

    MODERATOR:  Thank you. And thank you, Catherine and Tom for joining us today. “Jailbreak Lovers” premieres Saturday, July 2nd, at 08:00 p.m., seven Central only on Lifetime. Stay tuned for “He’s Not Worth Dying For” in a moment.

    Quinn: Eric.

    Bridget: Aunt donna?

    Eric: Quinn, listen.

    Quinn: Is this what you meant when you said you were going to the club? You just… you were in bed with her?

    Eric: I’m sorry. I’m sorry you had to find out this way.

    Quinn: Sorry? No, no, no, no, no. No, I was worried about you. I was worried about your health. Your–your heart rate kept spiking higher and higher every week, and I– now I know why. You’re not playing pickleball. You’re… you’re having an affair with donna.

    Paul: Well, what do you think? You wanted paris. You got paris.

    Carter: Yeah, it’s, uh, elegant, refined, just like we discussed. Thanks for putting it together so quickly.

    Paul: I aim to please.

    [Cellphone rings]

    [Cellphone chimes]

    Carter: Hey.

    Paris: Is that

    my soon-to-be husband?

    Carter: It’s me.

    Paris: Well, I’m down

    the hall getting ready,

    but I cannot wait to be

    mrs. Paris walton.

    Carter: Yeah.

    Paris: Well, I love you.

    I’ll see you at the altar.

    Carter: Love you, too.

    [Cellphone chimes]

    Ridge: Well, that’s an excited bride right there.

    Carter: Yeah.

    Ridge: What about the groom? Same?

    Hope: Can you believe it? By the end of today, you are going to be married.

    Paris: Yeah, it’s wild. I…oh! I just–I’m so happy to see you. Thanks for coming.

    Hope: Of course, and liam is super bummed that he can’t make it, but he had to fly out on business.

    Paris: And now I’ll get you all to myself.

    Hope: Yes, you do, so… how are you feeling?

    Paris: I’m exhilarated. I’m trying to catch my breath.

    Hope: Well, it’s, uh, a little last minute. [Chuckles]

    Paris: Yeah, but carter and i decided we don’t wanna wait.

    Hope: Well, when you know, you know.

    Paris: Now if you would just tell my mom that.

    Hope: You think she’s going to wind up coming?

    Paris: I hope so, especially with my sister being away. But that’s why I’m super glad that you came. I need all the support I can get.

    Ridge: I can see you’re conflicted. It’s not too late, carter.

    Paul: Ridge. I got your email. We’re all set.

    Ridge: Okay. Security’s crucial with sheila running around.

    Paul: Well, we’ve got a number of officers outside and in the surrounding area. There should be no issues.

    Ridge: I hope not. Thank you. What’s–what is all this? This was paris’ idea– this whole french thing?

    Carter: No, no, I’m surprising her, and I’m taking her to paris on our honeymoon.

    Ridge: What are you doing? I know where your heart is.

    [Sighs] You don’t wanna be with paris. You wanna be with quinn.

    Quinn: How could you you do this?

    Eric: I was gonna tell you, I swear.

    Donna: The truth, quinn, is–

    Quinn: Shut up. You’ve been lying to me for weeks.

    Eric: What’s all this about my heart rate? What are you talking about?

    Quinn: [Scoffs] This. This.

    Bridget: It’s a smart ring, dad. Quinn has it connected to an app on her phone so she can monitor your heart.

    Quinn: All this time, I thought you were in danger. But your heart rate kept spiking because you were betraying me. You were betraying our marriage. There’s an invisible threat in your backyard that could cause deadly heartworm disease for your dog. But no welcome to my digestive system. When your

    Charlie: Is this a hoot or what? I mean, paris for paris.

    [Chuckles]

    Paul: Yeah, carter’s very pleased with everything.

    Charlie: Yeah, oh, by the way, I love those, uh, eiffel tower cookies. It’s too bad pammy can’t see this, but she had to go on our knitting retreat, you know? Bill. You, uh, lost or something?

    Bill: Do I look lost to you, charlie?

    Charlie: Well, we’re closed for a private event. What are you doing here?

    Hope: You invited who?

    Paris: Bill spencer. He is a big supporter of the foundation, so why not? Well, I do know underneath that hard exterior, there lies a philanthropic side.

    Zende: Hey, I know I’m a little bit early, but I was hoping that you and I could get a minute alone?

    Hope: I am, uh, gonna go see if they’re ready out front. Okay?

    Paris: Okay. Yeah.

    [Door closes]

    Zende: You look beautiful. Haven’t even seen you in your gown yet. I, um, brought you a little gift. It’s not something old, but it is something old school.

    Paris: Thank you.

    Zende: I told you that I just wanna see you happy, paris, and I meant that.

    Paris: You’re an incredible guy. So happy you’re here.

    Zende: So…uh, where’s your mom?

    Paris: Well, she’s not supportive of this wedding. I don’t even think she’s gonna come.

    Zende: Oh. No, I’m, uh, I’m sorry to hear that. I was kinda hoping that she would be here helping you get ready.

    [Door opens]

    Paris: Mom, you came!

    Carter: I know you think this is moving fast.

    Ridge: It is moving fast. You…you’re my best friend. I wanna make sure you’ve thought this through.

    Carter: I’m ready. I want a family, I want a partner, and I’m not getting any younger, right?

    Ridge: Oh, come on.

    Carter: I want this, ridge. I need it.

    Ridge: You need it because you’re still hung up on quinn!

    Quinn: I don’t understand what’s going on. I-I know I-I betrayed you, but… how is this okay when I… when I’ve been working so hard to fix what happened between us?

    Eric: No, and I– and I forgave you for that. What I’ve been struggling with is the fact that I realized you’re in love with somebody else.

    Quinn: But donna is–

    Eric: Donna loves me. We have fun together.

    Quinn: [Scoffs] We have fun together.

    Eric: Everything is easier with donna. I trust her. Donna, would you please let us do this alone, please?

    Donna: Oh, oh, yeah. Yeah, of course, of course. We should go.

    [Door closes]

    Quinn: Is this really it?

    [Crying] Is–is this really the end of our marriage?

    At metro by t-

    Charlie: Well, zende, I’m surprised to see you here, almost as surprised as I am to see bill.

    Bill: Did I hear my name mentioned? Oh, well, head of security and a member of the wedding police. Paris invited me. I’m the biggest contributor to the forrester foundation.

    Charlie: Oh, I-I hope this won’t be too awkward for you, zende.

    Zende: I told paris I wanted to be here to support her.

    Hope: That’s big of you. I’m sure she appreciates it.

    Zende: She’s special to me. Even though we’re not still together, I’ll always care about paris.

    Paris: Having you here means the world to me.

    Grace: I almost didn’t come.

    Paris: But you did.

    Grace: I’m not mad or upset with you. I’m just–I’m heartbroken for my baby girl.

    Paris: Don’t be. This is the first time I’m fulfilled. You have to trust me that I know what’s best for me.

    Grace: And that’s carter?

    Paris: [Scoffs]

    Grace: A man who was with your sister. He dumped her and had an affair with his boss’s wife? I’m just so worried about you, sweetheart. I don’t wanna see you getting hurt by carter.

    [Knock on door]

    Ridge: All right. If you’re really gonna do this, I’m afraid it’s time.

    Carter: Okay. Uh… I just need another minute.

    [Door closes]

    Quinn: I thought we would be together forever.

    Eric: I thought we would, too.

    Quinn: How is this fair?! I have been begging you! I have been working so hard! I’ve been doing everything possible, and here you are doing the exact same thing to me that broke us apart in the first place.

    Eric: I’m sorry, quinn. I’m sorry. I hate–I hate hurting you like this. I hate–I hate being this man who cheats on his wife. I hate that. I was gonna tell you tonight. I swear I was.

    Quinn: Why didn’t you open up to me sooner? I gave you everything I have. I feel completely… and utterly just shattered.

    [Cries] I don’t even know how I’m supposed to feel. I don’t know why. I mean, the old quinn in me wants to scream. I wanna scream at you! I wanna be so mad for how wrong this is. I thought you were the most loyal man in the world. I told everybody that!

    Eric: I thought I was, too. I didn’t realize what was really happening until we had that conversation in the living room the other day.

    Quinn: What?!

    Eric: About carter. About carter getting married.

    Quinn: [Scoffs]

    Eric: That’s when I realized that…that’s where the confusion was. The more–the more you tried to keep our marriage together, the more I was drawn, drawn away from you…

    Quinn: [Scoffs]

    Eric: …To donna. You fell for carter during that affair, and not only did you fall for him, you fell in love with him. And you still are. I’m realizing that I have to– I have to let go of my love story with you. Quinn, you have to let go of your love story with me, too. Two wrongs don’t make a right. I know that. I know that me sneaking off to be with donna was wrong. It was. But what we share together, the feelings that we have for each other, that’s not wrong. And what you feel for carter is not wrong either. Quinn, look at me. Look at me.

    Quinn: [Sniffles]

    Eric: We were meant to be together… …until we weren’T. (Becky) I star vo: Worried about your friend but don’t know how to reach

    Grace: Paris, baby, please don’t do this.

    Paris: Mom, I need you to understand this. Accept that it’s happening. Look, carter is becoming, about to become my–my husband, the father to my kids, your grandchildren. Why can’t you be excited for me?

    Grace: Honey, I am not saying any of this to hurt you. I am trying to protect you. I’m your mother. Carter is not the man for you.

    Paris: How do you know? You won’t even give him a chance. You’re so mean.

    Grace: Because that man is running from something. I’m telling you. He jumped in all of this way too quickly.

    Paris: Mom, stop.

    [Scoffs] I don’t wanna hear it anymore.

    [Knock on door]

    Hope: Paris, hi. Uh, it’s time.

    Paris: Uh, look, mom, I know you’re only looking out for me, but I’m marrying the man I love.

    Quinn: This is really… over, isn’t it? You and me… I’ve been fighting so hard for us, I don’T… I don’t think I know how to let you go.

    Eric: But you can. You can, and you will. Because, quinn, I know how– how you feel about carter, that this–this affair you had with him a long time ago was– was just the beginning. You’re in love with him. You love him.

    Quinn: [Voice breaking] I do.

    [Crying] I do. I love him.

    [Crying] I’ve been fighting it just so hard because I’ve been fighting for us, because I’ve been fighting for us to get back to the way we were, but…

    [Laughs] I don’t have to fight it. I-I don’t have to worry about hurting you or what your family is gonna say about me.

    [Laughs] I love him. I love carter.

    [Crying]

    Eric: I want you to know how, uh… I want you to know how I’ve cherished all our time together.

    Quinn: So have I.

    Eric: You charmed me with your wit and your beauty and your talent. Your intellect. I’m proud I was your husband.

    Quinn: [Exhales deeply] Thank you.

    Eric: Well, um… you see how beautiful this is? Do you see the beauty of this?

    Quinn: No. Um…

    Eric: No? You don’t? Right down the beach, this man that you love– this man’s gonna make– he’s about to make the biggest mistake of his life.

    Quinn: I think I’m gonna keep the big diamond, okay?

    Eric: And so you should.

    Quinn: [Sniffles]

    Eric: Go. You’re meant to be with carter. If you hurry, you won’t be too late. The wedding’s about to start.

    Charlie: Sure you wanna do this, old buddy? Forever is a very long time.

    THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

    Valentin: As CEO, I will now address the next order of business. Namely, the rumored merger between aurora media and elq. It is not happening. Shall we have a show of hands to make it unanimous? Okay, chase, this is possibly the longest I’ve ever gone without speaking in my entire life. Come on, chase. You haven’t said a word since you walked out of jordan’s office. Reminds me of all the times I messed up and my dad would bring me into the study, and it’s not even like he would yell and scream at me — maybe it wouldn’t have been so bad — but he would just give me that look of disappointment, like the absolute worst. Is that what it was like with jordan? Look, chase, whatever she said, whatever happened, you’re not alone. Okay? I’m here. Please talk to me. Morning, brando. Hey, sonny. I’d give you a hug, but you got — I don’t — I’m not touching your hands.

    [ Laughs ] What brings you by, man? Well, since you did such an excellent job, you know, refurbishing my camaro… mm-hmm. …I brought you my vintage corvette so you can give it some tender loving care.

    [ Chuckles ] Well, I am happy to help out. As long as you know vintage cars take a little more time. It’s not impossible, but it is pretty close. See what I’m saying, dex? My cousin brando can make my ’61 corvette purr. Yes, sir. If you say so. If he says so. What’s that supposed to mean? Here you go. That should give you the exact angle of sun you asked for. Thank you. Perfect. This is for you. Wow. Thank you. Anything else I can get you? Yes, as a matter of fact, there is. You can show ms. Reeves to the nearest exit. Good morning! Hi. Oh, thank you both for showing up here on such short notice. I so appreciate it. Yeah, but is something wrong? Because your texts sounded urgent. No, no. Everything is great. Should we have included michael in this little get-together? Michael is busy at this very moment. He and drew have teamed up to make sure that our family’s future is going to be brighter than ever. Don’t push it, valentin. Calm down.

    [ Stammers ] I don’t understand. How could this happen? Um, uh, guys. Guys. Hey. Maybe it’s important to remember that what just happened wasn’t really personal, it’s just business. No, no, you’re wrong there, lucy. It’s not just business. This is about blood.

    You know that disappointed look ned used to give you? Amplify that by a thousand. That’s what it was like sitting across the desk from the commissioner. I know jordan cares about you. Yeah, she does. And I let her down. Again. You know, you’d think I’d learned my lesson after I punched valentin. She has to know that you just got caught up in the heat of the moment — you know, defending me about bailey. Plus, you — you put your time in with your punishment. Yeah. I must be a glutton for punishment, since I took a swing at your former manager. Oh, please. You barely touched linc, and he flopped over like a soccer star. If the D.A. Tries to prosecute you — linc agreed to not press charges. He did? Wait, he made me believe the complete opposite. Wait, chase. Why didn’t you say something? Your problems are over. No, brook lynn. My problems are just beginning. Okay, it’s pretty obvious that you guys don’t like each other. And while I appreciate that you have my best interests at heart, I don’t want any competition here. So, dex, my cousin brando is family. Brando, dex is new, okay? Learning the ropes. And he’s done a good job so far at driving. I can do a lot more than that, mr. Corinthos. All I need is a chance. Okay, well, you’re getting a chance right now, dex, but you have to trust that I’m going to bring you at my pace. What you looking for? What? Huh? I said, “what are you looking for?” My sunglasses are… you mind? Oh, I’m on it. Okay. Look, now that we’re alone — okay, we are — it’s — it’s clear you don’t trust dex. Well, after the way that he went after michael, do you trust him? Olivia, I have to compliment you. Your pool staff have incredible manners. Maybe you should take lessons from your waiter. I’ll handle this. Nina, this may be the nicest pool in town, but it’s not the only one. So I gotta wonder, why are you choosing to be somewhere where you are not wanted? I’m sorry. Do I need to remind you that the crimson offices are in this building? And I run up a sizable tab at your restaurant when I meet someone for business, which is exactly what I am doing today. Cut the crap, nina. You know you’re here to stick it to carly, who is not only my business partner, but she also happens to be one of my best friends. So if I were you, I — olivia, I invited nina to join me here, so if she’s not wanted here, then neither am I. The quartermaines are going to vote valentin out, and michael and drew are going to take over as co-ceos. Okay. But if michael and drew are both at elq, then what happens with aurora? Elq and aurora are going to merge, which not only gives elq media presence, it gives drew a majority share and a bigger and better elq, which means valentin won’t be able to engineer another takeover. And, um, since you just made a pretty big investment in aurora… well, rumors that the two companies might merge has sent aurora stock skyrocketing, so I cannot wait for it to actually happen. Well, I take it you’ll have done very well for yourself? Very, very. But you know what?

    [ Sighs ] The money’s great. It is. But that’s not why I’m smiling. I am so happy that drew and michael are going to be working together. Well, I’m so happy for both of them, too, but especially for michael. I mean, after that nightmare of a trial with nina, and the way that sonny treated him, I mean… yeah. I’m sorry. Oh, don’t be. Don’t — don’t be. I mean, that trial was a joke, and I’m just glad that the judge could see that. Michael deserves a win, and so does drew, and I’m just happy I could help a little. Or a lot. Okay. Yes. Alright. Well, a lot.

    [ Chuckles ] But you know what? It’s money well spent, and I couldn’t be prouder or more hopeful for the future. So this is twice that you used our family against itself. The first time, you maneuvered brook lynn out of her stock. So tell me this time, what did you do to bring ned over to your side? You and drew took your best shot, and it was not good enough. So, as lucy so wisely pointed out, when casting the deciding vote, it is time to think of the good of the company. And to that end, I propose we name ned quartermaine new chairman of the board. I second the motion. And, willow, maybe this is a good time to help michael see that this is the only and best way to keep the family involved. Is that how you rationalize it, lucy? Lucy doesn’t need to rationalize anything. Now, I believe there is a motion on the floor.

    [ Exhales sharply ] In the spirit of family unity… then I accept. Let’s shake on it. To the dawning of an era of new cooperation and prosperity. Lucy, let’s document this historic moment. Okay. Alrighty. Um… good.

    [ Cellphone camera clicks ] Onceibs-c and could treat it with linzess. That’s why some things helped, but her constipation with belly pain would often return. Maybe there was another way? Or something left to learn? My suspension has been extended. For how long? Indefinitely, without pay. That’s not fair. If linc’s not pressing charges, what’s the problem? It’s not a legal matter. It’s for them to decide whether I’m fit to carry a badge again or not. Who decides that? I have to face the civilian review board. And then they decide if I can go back on the force or [Scoffs] If I need to find a new career. A bunch of strangers get to decide if you’re worthy of being a cop? You know, I was thinking about saving them the trouble and… don’t say it. …Letting — chase, don’t even think it, okay? You are not resigning. It’s not like you just went into bars and started random brawls. Both times you were — you were defending me. Okay, I will fix this. I’ll go to linc, and I will get him to go in front of the review board and tell them that it was a misunderstanding — that you were just, you know, stopping him from embarrassing himself with me and that he’s grateful. You and I both know linc’s not a good guy. Why would he do that? Because he’s — he’s still really interested in me as a songwriter. So I’ll go back to him. I’ll sign a contract. I will write as many songs as he wants. He can keep all the profits. He could use my songs for dog food commercials for all I care. I will do whatever it takes to get you out of this. Thank you for speaking up for me, sasha. Whether olivia wants to believe this or not, I am not here to make trouble. You know what? For someone so well-intentioned, it is just astonishing how trouble just happens to find you. I mean, babies get kidnapped, pregnancies get induced, injured men wander around for months without knowing who they are. Loving parents get dragged into court, and none of it is your responsibility. Olivia, could you please, uh, send someone to get us two iced teas? Nina and I need to discuss my upcoming appearance on the home and heart shopping channel. Of course, honey. I would just tell you to proceed with caution. I would hate you to be the next person that nina never intended to make any trouble for. Two iced teas, lots of lemon. I owe you. Not half as much as I owe you. How are you doing? How are you?

    [ Both chuckle ] I’m not quite sure where to start — with the accident that killed willow’s mom, or gladys moving in with us. Wow, that’s a lot. Are you okay? Are you? Yeah. Olivia’s tirade — that’s no fun, but I’ve heard worse. I am not referring to olivia. I know the judge denied you visitation with wiley. I’m so sorry, nina. Yeah, the, um — the judge’s ruling is — is heartbreaking, and the whole hearing was surreal. And scott warned me that michael and willow were going to attack my character. So I agreed to let him attack them. But I didn’t know how far he was going to go. If michael and willow didn’t hate me before, they definitely do now. I’m sure they just need some time. And after the judge denied my petition, I… I literally begged willow to let me spend time with wiley — any time. I mean, even supervised visits. But she refused. She made it very clear that there was no path forward, and I was… I was devastated. I even thought about leaving port charles. What stopped you? Or should I say,

    who stopped you? Dex going after michael was a mistake. We had a talk. Actually, no. I talked. He listened. Dex understands, no matter what my family feels about me right now, anybody goes after my family, targets them, or tries to hurt them, I will not tolerate that, no matter if they’re trying to help me or not. You sure that he got the message? I know that he’s — dex is headstrong. I was the same way. Okay. I wanted to prove myself when I was young. Alright, look, you made your point. So, things get any better with you and michael? No, they’re worse. Michael knows how I, uh… how I… operate my coffee business, and he’s using that to undermine me. Okay. Well, then, let me reach out to michael and help end this feud between you guys. I appreciate that, but michael’s made it very clear. He wants nothing to do with me. I couldn’t be prouder of michael, really, especially after everything he’s been through. I can’t believe what happened at the hearing. I mean, I did not want to get into it with scott yesterday at the game because it wasn’t the time or the place, but a reckoning is coming, and scott baldwin is going to hear exactly what I think about him trying to imply that my grandson is violent towards women. He didn’t imply it, mom. He straight out said it. He attacked michael on the stand, and michael kept his composure. That is impressive. I would have jumped the stand and punched scott right in the face.

    [ Laughs ] Back in the day, I would have, too. But michael handled that the right way. Yes, he did. He did. He kept his cool, and he didn’t bite the bait from scott. Where do you think that comes from? I mean, how was michael able to stay so calm and so cold in that moment? Jason was like that. It must be somewhere in the quartermaine gene pool. But come to think of it, drew can be that way, too. Well, drew is so warm and so friendly. It’s not that jason wasn’t warm and friendly, I just — I don’t know. I think drew is a little more accessible. Accessible, and successful now that he’s going to be running elq. Along with michael. Mm-hmm. I’m so proud of you, mom. You backed them. Thanks. I’m a little proud of me, too.

    [ Laughter ] Lucy, send me those photos of ned and me shaking hands.

    [ Sighs ] I want something to remember this great day. Yeah, well, some of us don’t need a reminder. Well, if there’s nothing further on the agenda, this meeting is adjourned. No, there has to be something we can do. Let’s — let’s call diane. Diane can’t do anything. Just forget it. This is just quartermaine infighting, okay? Business as usual. It doesn’t seem that way to me.

    [ Sighs ] Okay, don’t — trust me. You don’t want to stick around for the fallout. It’s a beautiful day. Why don’t you go to the metro court pool, get some sun, and we’ll catch up later, okay? Are you sure? Yeah. I’ll feel better knowing you’re enjoying yourself. Hey, uh, willow, you know, I-I could give you a ride. I’m guessing willow doesn’t want any favors from you, lucy. Okay, look, I know you’re really, really angry at me, but better the devil you already know, right? And mother quartermaine, lila, would really enjoy seeing you work together against one instead of always fighting among yourselves. Just quit while you’re ahead. Okay.

    [ Clears throat ] Valentin, let me walk you to your car. Oh, no, that’s all right. I know the way. Marty. We did it. I am sending you a photo of the ceo and the new chairman of the board of elq. I want it in all the financial publications from here to hong kong, and cc the obituary columns, because the merger between aurora media and elq is officially dead.

    It it’S…the side hug.

    Tween milestones like this

    may start at age 9. Hpv vaccination –

    crest. That was a very generous offer, brook lynn, but I can’t let you do it. But I want to. Linc already owns a catalog of your music. The last thing you want to do is give him more. Come on, you’re free of the guy. Stay that way. You could lose your badge because of me. I know how much your job means to you. Yeah, well, something else means more to me. Don’t you have a-a family meeting to get to today? I don’t get a vote, so it doesn’t matter if I’m there or not. I thought you wanted valentin gone. I do, but I — just go. Help your dad save the family business. Don’t worry about me. I don’t want to leave you alone. I’m okay. I’ll be fine.

    [ Sighs ] Hi. It’s brook lynn quartermaine. I need your help. When the judge ruled against me and willow shut me down, I — I didn’t know where to go. I — I was lost. So I went to nelle’s grave to apologize to her for letting her down. I missed the chance to help her when she was alive, and I missed the chance to bond with her…son. And then I don’t know how, it’s just my half heart necklace that came loose and I lost it, and I didn’t realize it until I was in the car on the way to the airport. And I can’t go anywhere without that necklace. It’s my last link to my daughter. So when I came back to get it, sonny was there. He was looking for you? Yeah.

    [ Chuckles ] So sonny asked you not to leave town? Um… well, sort of. Not for his sake. And not even for my sake, but for wiley. He said that if I ever hope to be in that little boy’s life, I couldn’t run away. I can just hear him say that. You know, I will never forget how sonny came to see me in the hospital when brando and I were… faced with letting liam go. He knew just the right thing to say. Are you sure he wasn’t part of the reason why you didn’t leave town? Oh. Willow. How’d the elq meeting go? Did valentin get the boot? You’d better ask ned about that. What? Oh, no. Wow. Chairman of the board. That’s impressive. If you’re expecting an apology, it’s not happening, because whether you want to admit it or not, elq has thrived under valentin. So my decision was based on good business. And isn’t that how you and drew explained it to me when you offered me coo? Right, so your hurt pride was more important than your family’s welfare, huh? Ahh. So you think that I don’t care enough about this family’s welfare. Okay, be honest, michael, and just tell me the truth. Did you care more about elq or this precious merger of yours? Because I don’t know what you intended to do with it, but I would guess that elq came in a distant second to your own selfish motives. Or are you going to stand there and deny it? Will you just look at the three of us, sitting here in carly’s hotel.

    [ Chuckles ] When I think of all of the mistakes I made, and all of the wrong turns I took along the way with the daughter that I never knew, who came to find me with revenge in her heart. Oh, you know, that’s ancient history, mom. Yeah, but it’s our history. And it wasn’t always pretty. Fortunately, my granddaughter has learned from our mistakes.

    [ Chuckles ] No late nights and sleazy bars for you, right, sweetheart? Well, I’m no angel, gran. Uh-huh. Well, your mother and i just hope that you will show a little more common sense than we did at your age. Oh. Yes, I know you two were a little wild.

    [ Laughter ] A little. Just a little. Yeah. Well, you know, you could be the hardest-working, most intelligent person on earth, and life isn’t always fair. You talking about trina? I’m thinking about the title ix decision that went against her. What?! She could get expelled from pcu. That doesn’t make any sense. Trina didn’t do anything wrong. I know, I know. I told trina that she could have any of our family’s resources that would help her prove her innocence. I mean, I was going to talk to michael or dad, but with this new aurora/elq merger, you might be able to help her.

    [ Cellphone ringing ] Yeah. [ Laughs ] It’s my broker. He’s probably calling to congratulate me. Not now. You don’t want to take the call? No, I don’t want to interrupt my time with you guys. Good news can always wait.

    Itchy? Squirmy?

    Family not getting clean? What the…? Gotcha, uncle chase. Hey. What are you doing here? What happened to your camping trip? Don’t blame violet. We both had our fill of mosquitoes after one night. Ah. And boys who think they know everything. Aw, boys can be dumb like that. Even big boys like me. And then, wouldn’t you know it, we run into you here. Total coincidence. Yeah. Could be. Or you guys showed up to kelly’s because brook lynn called you, right, dad? What took you so long? The glasses fell under the seat. Took me a while to find them. What did I miss? Nothing. We’re just talking family stuff. Uh, so I got a car waiting. I’m going to go on a lunch date. I want you to, you know, go over the list of repairs with brando, and you gotta find your way home. No problem. I’ll just order a rideshare. Alright. Right. And you — and you guys be careful, because I don’t want any, you know, scratches. You understand what I’m saying? You got it, boss.

    [ Laughs ] Alright. You got it. Ah, alright. Yeah, well, I’m going to go take a look at the corvette. Hang on a second. What is it? We need to get something settled, just between us. Hi. Uh, can you find me another chaise? I’m sorry, miss. The other chaises are all reserved. Oh, okay. Willow. Are you feeling okay? You look — you look pale. Hey. Willow, why don’t you just — you take my chair? We can — we can talk someplace else. I don’t want your chair, nina. Willow, you — you really should lie down and rest for a bit. You need something else, ms. Reeves? Yeah, can you get ms. Tait an iced tea? Do you want me to call michael? No, I’m fine. I’m just upset by what just happened at the quartermaines’. What happened? Business. It went badly for michael. Bet that makes your day. Right, nina? Ned, why are you going after michael? I mean, the merger was my idea. I don’t want trouble with you. Well, it’s a little bit too late for that, isn’t it? I’m going to remind you of a conversation — actually, the first of many. It was the night I got back. My family welcomed me home. You pulled me aside and you told me how vital it was that we take elq back from valentin. That’s what I believed at the time. And I didn’t want to hear it then. And actually, truthfully, I didn’t even really give a damn. But you kept circling back. You did. A-and you were pressuring me to work with you to reclaim it from valentin, and so I did. I put it all on the line. I put aurora on the line, and you screwed me over. Welcome to the quartermaines, right, ned? If you didn’t like what drew and I offered, all you had to do — a figurehead position. Out of the action. Why would I accept that? For the good of the family? Oh, I don’t know, isn’t that why we’re doing this? You kept saying that elq should — should be under quartermaine control, but what you really meant by that was it should be under your control. I have given years of my life at elq! So did I! I was practically a kid when I took over because you — you — you — you walked away. At first to — to do something with music, then to be the mayor of port charles. I had to learn on the job, and I did, and the company was profitable. The only time I took a leave of absence was to fight nelle for my son. And during that time, you lost elq to valentin. It happened on your watch. And then what do you do to redeem yourself? You — you gift-wrap elq and you give it to valentin for a second time. Okay, don’t worry about it, michael. If it’s any consolation, I’m sure valentin is going to double cross ned, probably sooner than later. And what are you going to do when that happens? Hmm? You gonna have your hand out? Ask us to get a team together, as a family, back each other up? Well, don’t hold your breath. Hey. What’s going on? Uh, I ran into willow at the pool. She seemed upset. Yeah, she wouldn’t tell us what happened at the vote, just that olivia should ask you, dad. So, michael, are congratulations in order? Oh, ned, it’s your news to break. I am the new chairman of the board at elq.

    [ Gasps, laughs ] Oh, honey! That’s so wonderful. Oh, congratulations. Otherwise known as valentin’s right-hand man. Do you think that gran will ever retire? Oh, gosh. [ Laughs ] I don’t see that happening. She loves working at G.H. Yeah. I know that willow’s super excited to start, too. I mean, obviously, working as a nurse. Do you ever regret not finishing nursing school? Well, yeah. I mean, there were times over the years that I really regretted it. But now, I feel like every decision I’ve ever made has brought me to this place in my life, and I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. Wow. I really hope that I feel that way one day. Oh, I’m sure you will. Well, I want you to know that if I do, it’s because of you. I mean, I would have never gotten through that horrible video had you not given me the courage to keep my head held up high and ignore the haters. Hey. You didn’t need me to tell you that. You were born with that kind of courage. Well, it certainly helps to have such a strong role model. Oh, stop. You’re gonna make me cry. Well, I just hope that I can be that way for my kids one day. Oh, gosh. Can we just get you through college before we start talking about kids, please? Deal. Okay.

    [ Both laugh ] Alright. We need to order some food. What a charming mother-daughter moment. Don’t let me interrupt you from talking. Are you tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean? But you didn’t need to come running, dad. Uncle chase, can I sit on your lap? Sure. Ooh. How’s that? Good. Grandpa gregory says you need cheering up. Well, grandpa means well, but he worries too much.

    [ Sighs ] Indulge me. What’s going on with you? Yeah. Why are you sad? Well, it’s hard to be sad when I’m with you. But honestly, I let some people down. Some people whose respect means the world to me. I don’t know all the details, but I heard you were defending a friend. I was, but like you always taught me, there is a right way to do it and a wrong way. Like making a paper airplane. If you don’t get the wings right, it’ll crash. I know we got off on the wrong foot with each other, and that’s on me. I’m still new, and when I found out michael was going after his father, I thought it was my job to protect sonny. Well, that’s not how sonny does things, especially when it involves his kids. And that is exactly what sonny told me. So lesson learned. And I have you to thank for it, brando. I mean it. You saved me from making a serious mistake before I even got started. So… what do you say we just hit the reset button? Willow, I don’t know exactly what’s going on with you and michael, but you’re clearly upset. You need to sit down and try and relax. No. [ Scoffs ] I don’t need to relax. First, your lawyer tried and failed to ruin michael’s character at the hearing. The judge sided with you, willow. I do not have any legal rights to see my grandson anymore. So why are you upset? Because, nina, today, a member of michael’s own family, someone he was only trying to protect, turned against him. And I’m sure that just thrills you. S-so what happened? Did it include wiley? Leave wiley out of it! You know what? If you have any questions, why don’t you ask your old friend valentin? He can explain everything. Ask valentin what, exactly? Brook lynn: Wait. A-are you saying valentin is still ceo? Olivia: No, no, that’s impossible. You guys all had all the votes to toss him out. Go ahead, ned. Tell them how you sold your vote to valentin. You know that I would never make a decision that would hurt this family. But whatever we think about valentin personally, he has been very good for the bottom line at elq. W-what about the merger? Weren’t you going to bring a whole new media component to elq?

    [ Cellphone chimes ] Valentin is not interested in a merger.

    [ Exhales sharply ] What? What is it? The word’s already hit the street that the merger isn’t happening. Oh, my god. Aurora stock is tumbling. Drew. Wait. Hey, where are you going? I am going to do damage control if it’s not too late already.

    [ Door closes ] Shouldn’t you be clearing out your office at elq? Actually, I was hoping to reserve a table for tonight for some of my closest friends. Will you have the kitchen set aside a few kobe steaks, which we’ll want with all the trimmings, and a bottle of chteauneuf-du-pape 2019. Thanks. You know, for someone who just lost their job, he seems cheerful. Too cheerful.

    Trelegy for copd.[Cou ghing]

    Birdsd formula and

    no dyes.

    For freshness you’ll enjoy. I know what will make you feel better, uncle chase. Oh, what’s that? A doughnut. Doughnuts make everything better. Ah, well, give me two. I want one glazed and one chocolate. Okay. My health-conscious, rock-climbing son is devouring doughnuts?

    [ Chuckles ] Is it really that bad? I R. Brook lynn: Dad, how could you do this? How could you side with valentin after everything I did to get that stock back? After you treated me like dirt for losing it to valentin in the first place? I-I faked a pregnancy, for god’s sake. I made valentin believe he was going to be a father again. This doesn’t even make any sense. Dad, you were the one who was leading the charge to get rid of valentin! Brook lynn. Brook lynn, it is not fair to judge your father until we know all the facts. I know enough. Valentin’s going to come out of this smelling like a rose, and you planted the seeds. Thank you for your support. No one gets to second-guess my husband except me. Ned… what in the hell did you do? Valentin: Well, in the end, ned voted exactly as I expected — with his ego. Of course we’re going to celebrate tonight. Tell you what, bring the lovely lucy, will you? She earned it. Matter of fact, we all have. Josslyn: Hopefully that when trina’s found not guilty, they will reverse her title ix decision and they’ll clear her record. And my hope is that all of this will go away and trina and I can do our spring semester abroad. Oh, that would be amazing.

    [ Cellphone chimes ] I know. Oh, this is trina. She wants me to meet her in the park. Go have fun. Okay. Yes. Go have fun. Give me a hug. Love you. I love you. Mm! Bye. See you later. Hey. Hey. Oh, drew, I was just texting you. So, what happened at the elq meeting? Now, my broker has been trying to reach me, and valentin showed up here acting strangely happy. Wait, what did he say? He pretended like he didn’t have a care in the world, but we both know better.

    [ Sighs ] What happened? Well, I know why your broker was trying to reach you. Um… it’s not good news. Shake on it? After all, we both want the same thing, right? What’s best for sonny?

    [ Chuckles ] Yeah. I want that, too. Guess I just have to remind myself that, uh, it takes time for new people to learn the ropes. Exactly. I appreciate you giving me a chance, brando.

    [ Cellphone ringing ] Well, it looks like that’s my boss calling. Better take it. Okay. I’m gonna take a look at the corvette.

    [ Cellphone ringing ] That you, boss? Dex, just listen. There was a setback today, and now you have my full attention. What’s going on with elq? I really don’t want to be the go-between. I suggest you reach out to michael yourself, and if he doesn’t respond, that means he doesn’t want to discuss elq with you. Nina: Hey, sonny, why don’t we get a drink or something? I don’t think willow’s feeling great, so it’s best not to pressure her right now. No, I just, if there’s something I need to know — but I can reach out to valentin. I’m sure he will tell me what happened. Alright, alright. Willow, if you’re not going to let me take you to G.H., Then I insist on taking you home to rest. Sasha, for the last time, I’m fine! I’m — I — I… hey, hey. Whoa! Whoa!

    Transcript provided by Suzanne

    Nikki: Thank you for joining us.

    Nick: Sure. Why’d you want to meet?

    Victor: Have you heard anything from victoria yet?

    Nick: So, you want to know if vick has called since you, uh, used your influence to block investors from putting any money in her and ashland’s company?

    Victor: That’s right. Have you?

    Nick: Uh, no, but I know exactly how that conversation will go.

    Victor: Oh, really?

    Nick: Yes.

    Victor: Ah.

    Nick: It will involve lots of name-calling and unsavory language.

    Nikki: Darling, you’re not certain that she thinks you were in on it.

    Nick: Mom, it’s gonna be so easy for victoria to figure out what happened. She’s gonna know that dad blocked all of her business partners from investing any money. She’s gonna know that dad got all of his information from me because she trusted me and that’s gonna be completely gone.

    Victor: Son, do I need to remind you that you volunteered that information? I didn’t ask you for it.

    Nick: I know.

    Nikki: I just worry this is gonna push her even further away. I have tried to call her many times, and she has not responded.

    Victor: Well, this is conjecture on both of your parts, alright? Let’s wait and see how things work out.

    Ashland: Hello.

    Victoria: Hello.

    Ashland: Ah.

    Victoria: So, how did your search for a new office building go?

    Ashland: Uh, well, a couple of possibilities in midtown, steel, glass monoliths, very impersonal, that kind of thing.

    Victoria: Well, we can work with that. But you sound a little unenthusiastic about it.

    Ashland: Uh, there’s this other option, this charming building in tribeca.

    Victoria: Oh! I like the sound of that.

    Ashland: Yeah, well, it could be perfect, actually. It was recently renovated by a media company who couldn’t get off the ground, so it’s state-of-the-art and we wouldn’t have to change much. And the best part is we could likely get it for below market value because they are very motivated to sell.

    Victoria: Do you have any idea how handsome you are when you talk about buying commercial real estate at a bargain price?

    Ashland: [ Laughs ] Well, their loss is our gain. Poor bastards. They had one of their investors pull out, so they lost most of their funding. Uh, but that’s not gonna happen to us. You know why? Because that’s the advantage to self-financing.

    Victoria: That sounds so wonderful.

    Ashland: Hey. Are you okay? Is everything alright?

    Victoria: Sure. I’m fine.

    Ashland: Well, you just seem a little off. Um…are you having second thoughts?

    Sally: Chloe. What’s happening?

    Chloe: Hey, sally. Well, nothing was happening until you showed up, and I mean that on five different levels.

    Sally: I’d like to take that as a good thing.

    Chloe: Oh, it’s great.

    Sally: What are you doing?

    Chloe: Oh, I’m just having a business meeting with my partner. Can’t you see?

    Sally: Is chelsea late?

    Chloe: Yeah, or possibly forgot the whole thing or just chose not to show up.

    Sally: I see.

    Chloe: Please, please sit down and join me.

    Sally: Oh.

    Chloe: Um, yeah, I just wanted to congratulate you on your new gig. Thank you. I mean, taking over as ceo at newman media — that is a big job. But I know you can do it.

    Sally: Thanks, chloe. Coming from you, that means a lot.

    Chloe: But, you know, I was a big surprised that you accepted the job offer, considering your love for fashion design.

    Sally: Yeah, I initially had some mixed feelings about stepping away from something that I knew and loved, but it turns out to be the best professional decision that i ever made. Taking on this challenge, I have found a new calling.

    Chloe: Good for you. Ah, sometimes I feel like i could use a new calling.

    [ Sighs ]

    Sally: What? I thought you and chelsea were killing it. Is your new line not going the way that you’d hoped?

    Chelsea: Wow. You look like you belong in that chair.

    Adam: I do belong in this chair. This is where the ceo of newman enterprises sits.

    Chelsea: Of course. Can’t wait to see your portrait hanging up there.

    Adam: [ Chuckles ] It’s not really my style. What can I do for you, chelsea?

    Chelsea: I need you to sign this permission slip for connor’s camp. They’re taking a canoe trip up north.

    Adam: You couldn’t sign it?

    Chelsea: Apparently not. You’re the parent on record since you enrolled him. I can’t even deal with these camp people right now. They’re real sticklers.

    Adam: Well, doesn’t it make you feel good that your child is in good, capable hands?

    Chelsea: No. Right now it makes me feel annoyed.

    [ Hand taps ]

    Adam: Is everything okay, chelsea?

    Chelsea: Everything’s fine. Just some challenges at work. Chloe’s become a real taskmaster.

    Adam: Well, some people get passionate about their dream jobs.

    Chelsea: You should know. Congratulations, by the way. I know what this job means to you. I hope it’s everything you want it to be and that you’re truly happy.

    Adam: I am very happy. But I have been concerned about you lately. Are you sure everything’s alright? For copd,

    Chloe: We’re still adjusting to the new work environment, finding our own rhythm.

    Sally: But you and chelsea have been partners before, in the same roles, with great success. So, what’s different this time?

    Chloe: It’s hard to say.

    Sally: Well, I’m not trying to drag you down. I just want to figure this out.

    Chloe: Yeah, no, I appreciate it.

    Sally: I mean, you and chelsea wanted to create a space where you could create that magic again. And it didn’t work out at newman media, so now lauren gave you that opportunity. It seems like it would be a dream situation.

    Chloe: Yeah. Lauren is the best.

    Sally: Yeah. She’ll support you 100%. As long as you’re not trying to sabotage someone she cares about, which I found out the hard way. But she’s an amazing boss. So…what’s going on?

    Chloe: I agree. Lauren is great. That’s why this has just been so…

    Sally: Frustrating?

    Chloe: Yes.

    Sally: Well, let’s get to the bottom of this. I’m a problem solver.

    Chloe: Look, anytime you start a new venture, there are going to be different challenges.

    Sally: You’re a good friend.

    Chloe: What do you mean?

    Sally: You’re covering. Because it’s clear to me and probably anybody else that’s talked to you over the last few months that your biggest challenge this time around… should be right here, your missing partner.

    Chelsea: I’m fine. It’s just — it’s become a real struggle with chloe. I’m tired of being managed.

    Adam: Well, I can relate to that.

    Chelsea: I know you can. You’ve dealt with the ultimate micro-manager — victor newman. Well, chloe is getting to that level.

    Adam: As bad as my father? Come on. That — that’s not possible.

    Chelsea: I don’t know if chloe’s feeling pressure, you know, because lauren’s the one backing us. Or maybe she feels like she has something to prove because newman media got rid of the fashion division. But it’s not working.

    Adam: Okay. Well, have you told her this?

    Chelsea: I have. I’ve tried, and nothing changes. She’s obsessed with these deadlines. It’s all about efficiency and productivity. You know, I need creative spark. There’s no joy. It’s not fun.

    Adam: Well, sometimes work isn’t fun.

    Chelsea: With chloe, it’s always been fun.

    Adam: Wasn’t there a time where she cut up some of your pieces backstage at a fashion show?

    Chelsea: Yes.

    Adam: Well, that sounds like a good time.

    Chelsea: You don’t get it. That’s part of our chemistry.

    Adam: Yeah. You have walked a fine line with her. Sometimes you’re bffs, partners in crime, and occasionally you are bitter rivals.

    Chelsea: Mm. As opposed to all your pure, uncomplicated friendships?

    Adam: Hey, we are not talking about me right now.

    Chelsea: I see. Okay. So you’re allowed to put my life under a microscope, but I can’t comment on yours.

    Adam: Look, I finally got my dream job. And it seems like you are on the verge of blowing up your career, so you’re the priority. Maybe I can help you repair the partnership with chloe.

    Chelsea: I don’t know what else to do with her. I’ve told her not to worry. I told her the work will get done. It always does. But she’s acting like this is her first lap around the track. It’s been brutal.

    Adam: Well, then maybe you’re just gonna have to suck it up and deal with it.

    Chelsea: Not necessarily. I got another offer.

    Adam: [ Clears throat ] From who?

    Chelsea: Well, it’s not public knowledge yet, so keep this between us, but kyle and summer asked me to design for marchetti. Jabot is acquiring the label.

    Adam: That’s — that’s a big deal.

    Chelsea: I know. Angelina is retiring. Every designer on earth would kill to take over her position, and they picked me.

    Adam: Congratulations.

    Chelsea: Thank you. If I do the marchetti job, though, I have to do it on my own. Chloe doesn’t want to take it on. She thinks it’s too big of a deal, that we can’t handle it. But I just think it will help my creativity, you know? I mean, I’ve been scattered lately. This could really ground me. And I can handle it.

    Adam: Chelsea, I have known you for a long time. And, honestly, I don’t think that you can.

    Victoria: Second thoughts?

    Ashland: [ Sighs ]

    Victoria: No, no, no. I’m just a little tired. I didn’t sleep very well last night. I guess it’s all the excitement from launching our own company.

    Ashland: Mm.

    Victoria: And now that you told me about this new building in tribeca, I’m even more excited. I love the idea of being downtown.

    Ashland: And we’ll save millions not having to upgrade. You know, when I saw this place, I thought to myself, “hand of destiny.”

    Victoria: Well, when do I get to see it?

    Ashland: Oh, well, I’m actually having a face-to-face with the current owners later today, so…

    Victoria: Oh, my gosh. Well, we have to make sure everything’s in place.

    Ashland: Ah.

    Victoria: I mean, if this opportunity is as good as you say it is, we need to move quickly. It won’t last long.

    Ashland: You’re absolutely right.

    Victoria: I hired an attorney to handle the articles of incorporation. We need to be official if we’re gonna make an offer on the place.

    Ashland: Agreed.

    Victoria: Uh, also — oh, gosh — in order to file the paperwork, we’re gonna need a name, and we haven’t even thought of anything yet.

    Ashland: Okay, how about “anything but newman” incorporated?

    Victoria: Ooh, catchy! But I think — honestly, I think we should leave our names out of it.

    Ashland: I like “catchy.” How about catchy media?

    Victoria: My goodness. I thought you would be better at this. Your previous corporation was named after a 3,000-year-old babylonian king.

    Ashland: Excuse me. I had months to come up with that, not five minutes.

    Victoria: Okay, fine. What was that phrase that you used about the building?

    Ashland: “Save millions.”

    Victoria: [ Laughs ] No. “Hand of destiny.”

    Ashland: “Destiny.” Destiny media. I love that. And I love you.

    Victoria: I love you. However, I will love you even more once we get this paperwork done.

    Ashland: Well, what else is there to do?

    Victoria: My lawyer opened up a corporate account. I’ve already put in my $250 million, but I think the full amount should be in there before you meet with the building seller.

    Ashland: Yeah. Yeah. I think you’re right. That way they’ll be able to verify that we have sufficient funds.

    Victoria: Yes. Okay. So, you should just make your contribution as soon as possible.

    Ashland: Send me the information.

    Victoria: Oh, my gosh.

    [ Sighs ] You have no idea how badly I want this.

    Ashland: Me too. This is all I’ve ever hoped for.

    [ Breathes deeply ]

    Nick: So, let me know if you hear from vick.

    Victor: You do the same, okay?

    Nick: I’m gonna get a refill.

    Victor: So, my baby, i understand from michael baldwin that you’re trying to find some dirt on diane jenkins.

    Nikki: That’s right.

    Victor: Okay. Wish you’d have come to me first.

    Nikki: So that you could have tried to talk me out of it?

    Victor: No, that’s not what I’m talking about. I don’t want michael baldwin to split his focus. He’s been very helpful in throwing up roadblocks to victoria and ashland’s plan.

    Nikki: Well, he hasn’t done anything to bring her back to us so far.

    Victor: Well, sweetheart, be patient, okay? I know this will work out, sooner than anyone expects.

    Sharon: Hey.

    Nick: Hey.

    Sharon: Any more news on victoria?

    Nick: That is the question of the day. Um, I did hear from her just before the last time I talked to you.

    Sharon: Oh. Well, that must be a relief. But why didn’t you mention it then? And why don’t you look happier that she’s gotten back in contact?

    Nick: Well, it seems she has changed her mind. When I talked to her, she told me about her — thank you so much — her, uh, plans to have investors put some money into her and ashland’s new company.

    Sharon: I didn’t know they were starting a new business together.

    Nick: Me either. So, at that moment, instead of wanting to remain neutral and be supportive of my sister, all i wanted to do was do anything i could to get her away from that lying bastard.

    Sharon: So, what did you do?

    Nick: I, uh — I just went and told my dad everything she told me.

    Sharon: Okay. And let me guess. He did everything he could to shut down victoria and ashland’s new venture.

    Nick: He used his influence to make sure no investors went anywhere near ashland and victoria.

    Sharon: Mm. But that’s what you wanted, isn’t it?

    Nick: I don’t know. I don’t know if I did the right thing.

    Sharon: Don’t beat yourself up about this. Victoria put you in a difficult position, which — why would she do that?

    Ashland: Wow. This is really happening.

    Victoria: I know. And not a moment too soon if this building is as perfect as you say that it is.

    Ashland: I can’t wait for you to see it.

    Victoria: So, my lawyer set up the account, so we’ll both have direct access to the funds so we can easily get this massive undertaking off the ground.

    Ashland: I think funding the company ourselves was the right move, by the way. You were spot on with that. I mean, that gives us complete autonomy to do whatever we want, which is how I’ve always preferred to work, so…

    Victoria: Well, the way that I look at it, the investors passing was just part of our new company’s destiny.

    Ashland: I see what you did there. That was lovely. Well done.

    [ Laughs ]

    Victoria: So, I sent you the account information so that we can take the next step.

    Ashland: Let me see. Got it.

    Victoria: [ Laughs ]

    Ashland: I’ll start the process.

    Victoria: Alright. Once this transfer goes through, we will be a united force to be reckoned with. And we won’t have to answer to my father, my brothers, my mother. You know, at one point, each one of them has second-guessed me, but not anymore. We’re on our own, and I am gonna prove to them that I can call the shots without them hovering over me constantly. This is my statement of a lifetime.

    [ Laughs ]

    Chloe: Look, I — i appreciate you trying to help, but I can’t sit here and let you bash chelsea.

    Sally: No, it’s — it’s not like that at all. I am in a really good place right now. And I have zero animosity towards chelsea. In fact, I would really like us all to be friends. But I saw you two arguing in here awhile back, and I was shocked.

    Chloe: Friends argue. And so do business partners.

    Sally: Yeah, but not like that. It was a blow-up, chloe, and i could tell that there was something major going on.

    Chloe: You know, um… chelsea has been hit really hard by the death of rey rosales. They got really close this past year.

    Sally: Even though she tried to poison him?

    Chloe: There were some extenuating circumstances. Rey forgave her. And then he was gone. And since then, she’s just been scattered and contentious, and it’s — it’s just been really difficult.

    Sally: You’re a good friend, giving her the benefit of the doubt. But I know the whole reason that you recruited me for the fashion platform was because chelsea was unavailable due to her struggles.

    Chloe: She’d gotten past all of her issues.

    Sally: Had she? Or was she just covering them up with you? Because she’s always treated me like I was a threat, and I don’t know if it’s because of our friendship or because of my involvement with adam…or both.

    Chloe: Try seeing it from her point of her view. She gets herself together, she comes back to town hoping to pick where she left off —

    Sally: And she feels like i took her place, even though she should have realized that she burned every possible bridge with adam.

    Chloe: It’s just been tough on her, realizing that even though she was back to her old self, she — she still had to live with the consequences of what she did when she wasn’t in her right mind. And it’s just one of the reasons why rey meant so much to her. His forgiveness paved the way for all the others in town to give her a second chance. And then he dies. She’s — ah, she’s just been really emotional.

    Sally: I get it. A loss like that can affect everything. It can put strain on any friendship, even one as close as yours. It’s not fair to you.

    Chloe: I never said that.

    Sally: Well, you didn’t have to. I’ve witnessed it. You have been the driving force behind this whole renewed collaboration with chelsea. I just don’t think chelsea appreciates what good a friend you’ve been. And the fact that your partnership is going through this difficult phase is not your fault. You’ve done everything right.

    Chloe: All I know is that i am going to continue to support my best friend. She’s just going through a really hard time right now.

    Sally: Yeah. I hope that’s all that it is… and that chelsea appreciates you. I know what it’s like to screw up a good thing. And I’ve made it hard on people around me. But I also know that it’s a losing proposition to try and fix someone. But maybe this is different. I really hope it all works out for you. And I wish you the best.

    Adam: Chelsea, I know how hard you work. You are great at what you do. But this marchetti thing right now is too much. It’s like you’re latching onto something to fill a void.

    Chelsea: No. I love creating beautiful things. Designing brings me joy. That’s where I should be spending my energy.

    Adam: Yeah, but not if you’re using it as a crutch. Chelsea, I know what you’ve been through in the last year. When you came back to town, you were positive, you were looking forward, and now it seems like you’re backsliding.

    Chelsea: That’s not true!

    Adam: You’re getting caught up in petty grievances. You’re getting upset with connor’s camp people because they’re just trying to do their job.

    Chelsea: Oh, come on! That’s a one-time frustration.

    Adam: Is it? What about this argument with chloe? I mean, maybe she’s not trying to manage you. Maybe you are just not showing up how she is expecting you to.

    Chelsea: Wow. Wow. I didn’t realize I was such a basket case. I’m so glad I stopped by to be criticized by mr. Perfect.

    Adam: I am not saying that, okay? I’m not judging you, chelsea. I’m just telling you what I have noticed from the outside. Ever since rey died, you have not been yourself.

    Chelsea: Yeah, adam, it’s been hard.

    Adam: Which makes me wonder, why do you even want to take the marchetti job right now anyway? It’s like you’re trying to steady your personal life by taking on more work.

    Chelsea: Like you’ve never done that?

    Adam: Chelsea, I do it all the time, which is why I notice it when I see it. And it never works. You can’t avoid what is bothering you. Eventually, you have to deal with it. ‘Cause what you’re doing now is not sustainable.

    Nikki: I’m starting to think it doesn’t matter how much michael’s attention is split because he’s gonna drag his feet finding any information on diane no matter what.

    Victor: Sweetheart, you shouldn’t worry about any of this. You know you’re concerned enough as it is with victoria.

    Nikki: Yes.

    Victor: Okay.

    Nikki: You’re right. I am. But I don’t understand how you can be so calm regarding victoria and ashland’s situation.

    Victor: Well, you know… trust victoria the way you trust me.

    Ashland: I can’t even describe what this means to me. You had every reason to never trust me again, to abandon me, and yet here we are, about to renew our commitment to each other.

    Victoria: It’s what we both want.

    Ashland: It just wasn’t that long ago that I thought this was impossible. Listen, I know… I know you were thinking about leaving genoa city to liberate yourself from your parents, and you could have easily done that on your own, without me. But you chose to follow your heart. And I understand that you want to be cautious, and we will take this at whatever pace makes you feel comfortable. But I need you to know that this makes me so damn happy that we’re doing this together. And I will never, ever give you a reason to doubt me again.

    Victoria: [ Chuckles ]

    Ashland: Mwah!

    Victoria: It’s a — it’s a new beginning for us.

    Ashland: [ Laughs ]

    Victoria: We’re starting on a new journey.

    Ashland: [ Sighs ]

    Victoria: And, um, I love thinking about the possibilities, especially with this new building that you found. It’s the next step in our big adventure.

    Ashland: We should celebrate tonight.

    Victoria: Oh, yes. Let’s do that. Caviar, champagne, the works.

    Ashland: I love the sound of that, but first — first let me go ahead and transfer, uh, my funds into our joint account — right? — Merging our fortunes to secure our future.

    [Sfx: Stomach gurgling]

    “The young and the restless”

    will continue.

    Adam: Hi.

    Sally: Hi. What are you doing here?

    Adam: Um, I came to see you.

    Sally: In an official capacity or otherwise?

    Adam: Um, a little bit of both.

    Sally: Well, that’s my favorite. They’re beautiful!

    Adam: Looks like someone has a secret admirer.

    Sally: “Shine brightly, kick some ass, and know that I have your back. The best is yet to come. Love, adam.”

    Nick: You know, I’ve been wondering the same thing — why would victoria confide in me? She told me some very sensitive things. I’m just starting to think that maybe it was a test of loyalty.

    Sharon: Well, if it was, you failed.

    [ Both laugh ]

    Nick: Yeah. It could also just be some convoluted game vick’s playing with dad.

    Sharon: You think she wanted you to go to victor with the information?

    Nick: I don’t know. But it was my choice. Vick knows I’m not happy about this and I’ll do anything I can to make sure she doesn’t get in any deeper with ashland.

    Sharon: And she knows that going to victor is the best way to do that.

    Nick: See, I had a feeling dad would be up to something, and if that’s the case, then I’m an unwitting accomplice to one of their plans. I’m either dad or victoria’s pawn.

    Sharon: Well, look at the bright side. This may be a way of getting victoria to come back. I know your dad installed adam as ceo to drive her so crazy that she would come home, and that didn’t seem to work. So maybe this will.

    Nick: Well, my fear is, if vick does change her mind and comes back, then my involvement in this will undermine any of the goodwill I re-established before victoria left town.

    Sharon: She’s still your sister, nick. It may take a little while before things get back to where they were, but she’ll come around.

    Nick: Yeah, but I just don’t have much influence on the family dynamic these days because I don’t have any skin in the game.

    Sharon: And we talked about this. That’s because you walked away from the company.

    Nick: Yeah. I did that ’cause I didn’t like all the lies and manipulating. But like it or not, this is the arena that my family operates in. And if I was still involved in the company, then, you know, i could have more impact on things like this and it could turn out differently.

    Sharon: Are you still second-guessing your decision to leave newman?

    Nick: It’s hard not to. I know you don’t think I should jump back into the viper’s nest.

    Sharon: No, I never said that. I only tried to encourage you to think carefully about what you really want.

    Nick: It’s just getting harder and harder to watch from the sidelines as my family deals with all these power struggles.

    Sharon: So, what are you going to do?

    Nick: I don’t know. Right now, the only thing I care about is victoria and making sure she gets through this okay.

    Victoria: I love it. I love the photos. I love the blueprints of the building. I want to see it in person. I think it’s the perfect location for destiny media.

    Ashland: Then why don’t you come with me right now to see it?

    Victoria: [ Sighs ] I have to meet with the lawyer. Why don’t you arrange a walk-through with the management company and then we’ll meet back later and we’ll see the building together?

    Ashland: Well, that’s very smart. We don’t want to appear too eager, but we should be ready to seize the inside track, assuming you agree with me after you’ve seen the place.

    Victor: “Decisive” is our operative word.

    [ Both laugh ]

    Ashland: I’m the happiest man in the world right now.

    Victoria: I’m the happiest woman.

    Ashland: I’ll be back soon, hmm?

    Victoria: [ Breathes deeply ] We’re eating and drinking foods and beverages

    Victoria: [ Exhales sharply ]

    Nikki: Victor, I know you are a master of playing things close to the vest, but something is going on. You are too calm. I mean, it’s almost as if you know your plan is already working.

    Victor: I certainly hope it is, yeah.

    Nikki: Has victoria given you any indication that your installing adam as ceo is going to push her to come back?

    Victor: No, baby. I am telling you what I told nicholas. If I had heard something, i would have told you about it, okay?

    Nikki: Well, I’ll say this. The longer that adam is sitting in that ceo perch, the more difficult it will be for victoria to reclaim her position.

    Victor: Well, then victoria better hurry up, right?

    Nikki: Are you really comfortable just yanking him out of the seat and putting her in? I mean, have you even thought that far ahead? Of course you have. I mean, this is precisely the kind of thing you sit around thinking about. So, can this plan work?

    Sally: I love these. And the thoughtful card.

    Adam: Well, I thought the sentiment rang true.

    Sally: It did. We will always have each other’s back. And you used the l-word. That was nice.

    Adam: I didn’t put too much pre-meditated thought into that note. It was very instinctual.

    Sally: Well, you have excellent instincts.

    Adam: Well, so do you. And that is something that, um, I want to tap into right now.

    Sally: You want to tap into my instincts? Is that what you said?

    Adam: That is right.

    Sally: Okay. Just want to make sure we’re on the same page.

    Adam: [ Chuckling ] Okay. Right now, I have to focus. Um…I have a problem. I’m saddled with a coo who has no interest in my vision, much less helping me realize it. I’ve come up with an idea that i think can impress the hell out of my father.

    Sally: But you need to act on it quickly.

    Adam: Exactly. ‘Cause every day that goes by, victoria’s closer to imploding her life and running back to daddy. So I need to move quick, and i need to show him that I’M…

    Sally: Indispensable.

    Adam: Exactly. Now, I’ve been focused a lot on the media division, obviously, but now that I know it’s in the very best of hands…

    Sally: Oh. You mean…these hands?

    Adam: [ Sighs ] You’re very distracting.

    Sally: Right. Yes. Proceed.

    Adam: There are a couple areas of the company, some direct-to-consumer areas that could be shored up. And I’ve done some research. There is a major retailer that is having trouble meeting their working capital in the southwest. I think we should move in and take over operations and replace their location with stores under our brand. What do you think?

    Sally: I think it’s a solid idea, but…

    Adam: But what?

    Sally: It just sounds like an idea that victor would have. You told me to always be honest.

    Adam: I did. I did. Um… I appreciate that.

    Sally: If you want to make a splash, you might have to do something different. Victoria has already done the victor junior thing. It might have worked for her. But you need to be adam. Surprise your father and set the business world buzzing. Retail in the southwest is nice, but it’s something that you should do whenever your ceo job is a little bit more secure. I really don’t think it’s gonna have the impact that you’re looking for. You need to show them that you’re not a placeholder, that running this company is what you are meant to do. You’re the real deal. So shoot for the stars. And the moon. Hell, buy the moon. That would get people’s attention.

    Adam: [ Chuckles ] You’re so sexy when you’re like this.

    Sally: [ Chuckles ] (Becky) I started smoking when I was 16.

    Adam: I was thinking — maybe, um, you could just be ceo of newman media and coo of newman enterprises because I’m never gonna get this kind of advice from nikki.

    Sally: Well, I should hope not. But I think you’re stuck with her. But I have every confidence that you will come up with something spectacular to make people see newman in a whole new light. Speaking of coos… I have an idea… about who should be mine.

    Adam: Really? Is it anyone I know?

    Sally: Yes. Chloe.

    Adam: [ Laughs ] Uh, I don’t think that’s going to work.

    Sally: Why not?

    Adam: [ Clears throat ] Well, first of all, she’s tied up in the, uh — the fenmore deal.

    Sally: Yeah, well, I just had a talk with her, and it seems like chelsea is getting on her nerves, so I think their partnership might be on its last leg.

    Adam: I met with chelsea earlier, and I don’t disagree with you, but chloe has no relevant experience.

    Sally: Yeah, but neither did I. It didn’t stop you from hiring me. Look, besides, chloe and i worked well together before. She gets the job done, she is an effective manager, and I think she would be great for the job. I would love to make some overtures to see if I can lure her over here.

    Adam: Mm-hmm.

    Sally: Do you have any more objections?

    Adam: Yeah, just one. She absolutely, completely hates me with every fiber of her being.

    Chelsea: I’m late. I know. I had to drop off this permission slip thing for connor, and adam and I just started talking.

    Chloe: Oh, yeah, yeah, no worries. Yeah, I got your messages keeping me updated. Oh. I’m sorry. That’s right. You never sent me any texts. I’ve just been sitting here waiting.

    Chelsea: Well, after the way things went yesterday, can you blame me for not being super eager to over-communicate with you?

    Chloe: Well, that’s all the more reason why you should have kept me updated — so the tension between us doesn’t get any worse.

    Chelsea: Okay. Well, I’m here now. So let’s get to work.

    Chloe: Okay. Actually…no. It was really inconsiderate of you, chelsea, and this is not the first time. I have had it. This isn’t working.

    Victor: If I have to be very honest, I’m not sure if this plan will work because I don’t know what’s going on in victoria’s head.

    Victoria: This is victoria newman. Send the jet to new york city immediately. Thank you.

    THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

     I figured you would want your old friend cody to see the best of port charles, considering the rude reception he’s had so far. Hmm. You know, cody’s a good guy, and it has been really good catching up with him. But, uh, you know, that dude, he got in a lot of trouble when we were kids, and he’s still kind of doing the same thing now. Hey. Sorry I’m late, guys. All good. Hi.

    [ Groans ] Ribs still bothering you? I’m better every day. Huh. You really took a beating. Sure you don’t want to see another doctor? I mean, there is one doc I wouldn’t mind seeing again. Britt: Hello. Can I get a lemonade? Still taking a break from the booze? I’d like to avoid the possibility of another gif. You know how sorry I am about that. I know. I wouldn’t mind hearing it again. Ah. Oh, no. Spencer cassadine is the last thing I need right now. Brad, please be a friend and go get rid of him for me. On it. Ah-da-da-da. Right over here. Don’t make a scene. But the lady doesn’t want to be disturbed. Who, britt? I wasn’t looking for her. No, I saw your post on social media about you meeting up with your bestie. I’m here looking for you. I need your help with my girlfriend. Okay, that sentence has never been said to me before. Color me intrigued. Officer cabrera. If I were a cop, I’d pull you over. What’s the charge, ms. Prince? Oh, arson, of course. You are looking

    muy caliente. Am I now? Where are you off to, trina? Oh, um, I’m meeting joss. And before you ask, no, we’re not going to go look for the guy that sold esmé the phone. Oh, I’m not second-guessing your instincts. In fact, your father and i had quite the talk about it. Good, because the time for talk is over. I need to do something, and I need to do it now.

    [ Groans ] To think, my gorgeous and talented son would rather be up to his elbows in engine grease than become a tycoon in a downtown high rise. I —

    [ Scoffs ] I’d settle if you were a philanthro–phil– what is it? Philodendron? That’s a house plant. Philanthropist. That’s it. I mean, come on. Your wife is rolling in the big deception bucks. You can be anything you want now. Ma… …I am doing what I want, and I’m happy. Because your wife is rolling in all that money? No. Because she’s just sasha, and that’s all I want. That’s all I need. Willow only fainted for a moment. Dr. Obrecht was there to help revive her, and sonny was a big help getting her here. If we had left it up to willow, she would have insisted on going home. Well, thank you for overruling her and bringing her here. If anything is seriously wrong with willow, I blame myself. Wait, wait, wait. Are you sure? There’s no doubt about it. Willow, you are pregnant. Oh, it is so nic eto be able to give good news. I mean, this is good news, isn’t it?


    I just wasn’t expecting you to say… that you are expecting? Because you are. How far along am I? Just a few weeks. But the last time I fainted was three months ago. So why did i pass out then? Well, I don’t have to tell you this, nurse tate, but there could be many reasons, which is why I’m curious to see what comes of the other tests. Okay? Okay. Thanks. Any other questions? Just one. Where’s michael? How is it your fault that willow fainted? This isn’t the first time. And given all the stress that willow’s been under ever since you found out that harmony’s not her mom — I should have made things easier for her. But instead, it’s been all this stress and tension, starting with that hearing with nina about wiley. Nina initiated that hearing, not you. Yeah, so then — then there was the whole elq battle going on and I…

    [ Sighs ] We were supposed to go to paris, then I punched a reporter in the face, then we had to postpone that. I’m really — I’m making this all about myself, aren’t I? I bet you don’t miss all the corinthos drama, huh? I think we both got lucky. You found willow, and I found brando. Ma, I told you, I’m not trading my garage for some desk job. And no one, not sasha, not me,

    [ Tools clinking ] Not even sonny wants me to sign on with corinthos coffee. Oh, you misunderstand me, brando. Sure, I have my own dreams for my child. What parent doesn’t? But I’ve learned a lot since we first came to port charles, and the corinthos name only takes you so far — not to mention, at a price.

    [ Laughs ] Wow. That took a while, but I am glad that you finally understand that now. Listen, I admire that you want to be your own boss and your own man. Well, I appreciate the vote of confidence. But listen, since deception went public and your wife landed in a different tax bracket, something has to change. Okay, well, look, if this isn’t about the garage, what is it about? Your poor mother toiling as brook lynn quartermaine’s assistant. That woman gives me so much grief. I’m thinking it’s time for me to give my two weeks’ notice. Now it’s official. My court date has been set. Then we better get to work fast. We? Yeah, of course. I appreciate that, but didn’t you give up your P.I. License? I did. But I’m not giving up on you. It sounds me like you two could use some help. Where do I sign up? Is this chair taken? Oh, excuse me, um… can I please have an ice-cold lemonade? Oh, actually, you know what? Make that two. One for me and, uh, one for pc’s finest.

    [ Scoffs ] You’re buying me a drink? Why? So I can fix a parking ticket for you? Oh, I don’t have a car. Um, I usually just take rideshares, but I would never dream of bribing an officer. However, I do have a favor you might be able to help me with. I knew it. The lemonade comes with strings attached. What is it you think I can do for you? Mm. I am planning on graduating from pcu with a degree in psychology, with a concentration in abnormal psych. You aim high, ms. Prince. Please, call me esmé. All my friends do. And you’re right. I do aim high. I’m not sure how I can help you. Let me explain. Up until recently, I was an intern at spring ridge minimum security prison, where the the notorious ryan chamberlain is a prisoner. I’m aware. So then you’re also aware of his condition, where he’s trapped inside his body? His mind’s still there, but he has limited communication. However, using a letter board, I’ve been able to reach him and communicate with him. Though dr. Kevin collins, ryan’s twin brother and my boyfriend’s step-grandfather, has barred me from spring ridge altogether. Why would he do that? Dr. Collins says it’s for my own safety, but I know better. He has it out for me. Even if that’s true, I’m not sure what you’re asking me to do. I was hoping someone with a better grasp of the law could help me formulate a workaround. You used to work at the lab at gh, right? Yeah, so? So I could use your help, and I’d be willing to pay for the expertise. I don’t follow. What does my expertise have anything to do with your girlfriend? That is a good question, brad. I thought you wanted me to handle this guy. Changed my mind. Great. I could use your help, too. Enough with the double talk, spencer. If you don’t leave in 20 seconds, I will throw you out. So, cody, don’t take this the wrong way, but for a guy who’s only been in town for a few days, you have found yourself your fair share of trouble, I’d say. And I’m not just talking about the guys who beat you up. I get the feeling that britt westbourne would like to sue you for all you’re worth. Well, she’s more than willing to try, but I don’t have anything to give her.

    [ Laughs, coughs ] Ouch. Dude, you’re obviously still in pain. Why don’t we id these guys who beat you up? Dante, I appreciate the offer, but like I said — yeah, the alley was dark and you couldn’t make out the faces. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it. But you know what? Maybe you’ll pick the wrong game next time and you’ll end up in a morgue instead of an alleyway. Samantha, dante? Always a delight. Spinelli. Oh, spinelli, hey, this is cody. This is dante’s childhood friend. Cody, this is — damian spinelli. You two know each other? Oh, yes, very well. Should you tell them, or do you want me to?


    Damian, we mightas well come clean. When I parachuted into the metro court pool, mr. Spinelli here reached out to me and offered me help. Oh, yeah? Helped him what? Well, damian spinelli here is apparently an expert in directional finders and pinpoint calculations. At least, he claims to be. Yeah, he says that he’ll make my next jump a lot safer for everyone. Did I get that right, damian? Yes, that — that is right. I — I couldn’t have said it better myself. Happy landings to you, mr. Bell. And with that, I must depart. Hey, whoa, whoa. You are not going anywhere. Oh, britt, I thought you’d know by now that I don’t respond well to threats. You’re intruding on a rare day off for me. Getting rid of you is not a threat. It’s a promise. Okay, fine. So you want me to cut to the chase, tell you why I’m here? I was offering brad a business proposition. I don’t think it’s a big — oh, don’t believe spencer is any kind of innocent. I helped him identify a medication that belonged to his friend, and all I got in return was a verbal slap in the face about what a pathetic single I was. Brad, would you please give me and britt a moment? It’s clear that I need to make an apology. I’ll be right at the bar if she needs me. Okay. Understood. Make it fast. There is no fast way to tell you how truly sorry I am for the horrible and hurtful things that I have said to you, okay? I am truly embarrassed by my behavior, and I have always considered you a genuine friend of mine. And I went out of my way to try to hurt you. That was thoughtless. That was cruel, and I am sorry. And if you never wanted to speak to me again, I would understand, britt. I’m sorry. Almost sounded like you had remorse. Very un-cassadine-like. I mean it. I was way out of line when I threw your love life or lack thereof in your face. You know what, spencer? I always thought we had a real connection, too. So why were you so brutal with me? Do you have any idea what that did to me? It sent you to a singles mixer where you got knocked in the pool by a skydiver. I saw the gif. Yeah, you and thousands of others. Please believe me, britt. There’s so much more to this story than you know. And I know that in the adult world, there is no such thing as a do-over, but, boy, would I like a second chance right now. You’re right about one thing. There’s no such thing as a do-over for adults. And as lovely as that apology was, and it sounds like you meant it, let’s get real. As long as you’re hooked up with the likes of esmé prince, I cannot trust you. Rory: Thank you. That’s for you. Thank you. I believe in tipping well. Don’t you agree? Very generous. Except when the staff isn’t allowed to accept. That’s always awkward.

    [ Chuckles ] You see, I went to school in europe, so I’m still learning the american ways. Oh. Well, then, let me give you some free advice. The help you’re looking for, to find a workaround to get back into spring ridge — you need a lawyer, not a cop. My experience is, lawyers are expensive and they bill by the hour, whereas cops get things done. And, hey, that saying is true. There’s something about a man in uniform. Well, just to be clear, I am off duty and out of uniform. Well, that doesn’t mean you can’t help a citizen in distress, right? I mean, I love my work at spring ridge, and I’m determined to continue working there. And how can I do that if dr. Collins won’t give me a chance? Well, I’m not sure if you know this, but I’m a rookie cop and have basically zero power. So you won’t help me? Trina: Joss and I were tracking down proof that esmé framed me. I can’t help you, but I know someone that can. Really? That would be great. Yeah, just give me your phone, and I’ll put my friend’s number into it. It’s so obvious that you and brando have found happiness, you know? And not to mention everything you’ve done as the face of deception. That is an out-of-the-ballpark success. I’m only a partner because you negotiated such a great deal for me. It was my pleasure. Deception is lucky to have you, and now I’ve seen your photos everywhere, and word on the street is that you’re going to be on the home & heart network. I mean, that is — that is amazing. I’m — I’m really proud of everything you accomplished. That’s really sweet of you to say, michael, thank you. Michael? Hey, T.J. How’s willow? She’s asking to see you. So she’s — she’s okay? I think so. But it’s better if you see for yourself. That was a pretty vague answer. Should I stick around just in case? Michael and willow have a lot to discuss, but once they’re done, I think willow would enjoy your company. She’s in room 1001. Deanna, hey, could you set up an ob consult for room 1001? Of course, doctor. Hey. Hey. T.J. Said you wanted to talk to me? He seemed to think that you were okay, but he didn’t give me any details. I don’t know — it was thoughtful of T.J. To let me break the news myself, because I do have something to tell you.


    Cody: Yeah. We’re all friends here, or we will be, right? Uh, yeah, I’m just going to need to take a r-rain check, because I really need to go — um, work thing. You know with my business, it’s either feast or famine, and now duty calls. Nice guy. Crazy smart. A bit skittish, though.

    [ Cellphone chimes ] Oh, damn it. Problem? Remember that gig I had lined up? [ Sighs ] I just lost it. Well, that’s okay, man. You just stick around here a little longer. I told you, dante, I don’t want your charity. Well, first of all, my couch is not charity. And second of all, I’m not inviting you to camp out indefinitely. It’s just until you find something. Britt’s been involved in some shady stuff, man, and that’s not even talking about the fact that she went on the run with her father. On the run? Like, fugitive from justice? Yeah. Okay. Who’s her father? Does the name cesar faison ring a bell? You know what? Maybe sticking around isn’t such a bad idea. I could try and find a job here. Dante, I will take you up on that offer. Thank you. I am honestly and deeply sorry for the things that I’ve said to you, britt. Okay, don’t try so hard, okay? The more you apologize, the less effective it is. See, there’s the britt that I know and love. And the truth is, if there’s anyone that I can confide in, it’s you. Because you’ve always been honest with me, even when it hurts. Okay. But you leave brad out of this. Tell me what you need, and I will let you know

    if I can help you. Okay, I’m ready. What’s your friend’s name and number? Are you afraid to give me your phone? How can you ask for my help and then actively not trust me? Rory? What’s going on? That’s exactly what I’d like to know. T.J.! Hey, uncle. How you doing, man? Good. I’m just here to see how my grandfather’s doing. I’ll be better once we can figure out how to prove trina’s innocence. Was this your idea, to work together? We’re family. We should work together. No, no, no. Absolutely not. Am I right, uncle? Actually, you’re wrong, T.J. Trina needs all the help that we can muster. Guys, let’s put an end to this, once and for all.

    [ Sighs ] I’d ad vise you againstquitting your job. Why not? It’s beneath me.

    Way beneath me.

    [ Chuckles ] Okay. Plus, I mean, I already have everything I need. Ma, I love you, but this isn’t a permanent situation. I never said it was. But as long as sasha is mourning little liam — sasha and I have to carry that grief with us for the rest of our lives, and we have to figure out how. Hopefully, one day, we’ll have another child. But in the meantime, we need the time and the space to get back to normal. Do I need to remind you that sasha’s version of normal includes a temptation to fall back on those pills? Okay, and sasha swears that that is in her past, and I believe her. Or is this really about you needing to feel needed? Yes, I need to order an ob consult for room 1001. Willow’s room? Sometimes I can’t help but envy you. Confirming to a woman that she’s pregnant has to be your favorite part of the job, right? Okay, great. Thanks.

    [ Elevator dings ] Michael… look, whatever T.J. Told you, we’ll get a second opinion, a third opinion, whatever it takes. I don’t think that will be necessary. I know you’re trying to be — you’re trying to be strong. You don’t have to be. Whatever this is, we’re gonna get through it together, alright? I would hope so. Because I’m not sick, michael. I’m pregnant.


    Janssen can help you explore cost support options. N’t get me wrong, man.I want you stick around. I just want to make sure that the reason you want to stay isn’t because you want to get revenge on whoever did this to you. Britt? Nah, nah. I’m a lover, not a fighter. You’ve already met someone here in town? No, no, nothing like that. Um…actually, right now, I just kind of want to sit in the sun and let my poor, battered body heal. But I-I can’t afford a pool pass. Well, you don’t need one. Just tell them you’re my guest. Really? Thank you, sam. I appreciate that. I’ll go check it out right now, if that’s cool?

    [ Groans ] That was, uh… really nice of you. Well, he’s your friend. Then what else is going on? Okay, I was thinking while he was laying in the sun, we could figure out why spinelli was so anxious to get away from him. Oh, unfortunately, zelda, mr. Bell is causing trouble again. There — mm, there must be a way to rid ourselves of — oh, there is. Hang up. I’ll tell you. I don’t know how much you know about esmé’s background. She was adopted as a baby, and her adoptive parents died when she was still just a kid. I had no idea. She’s desperate to find her biological parents. Now, I’m no shrink, but I suspect that it’s the not knowing who she really is and where she came from that’s the root of all of her problems. Now, if we had a dna test that could determine her parentage, it might make all the difference. So is this some kind of gift for your girlfriend? Yeah. Yeah, you could think of it like that. Suppose that, um, I don’t know, what if we had two dna samples that we could compare? Are you saying that you have those samples? No, I’m saying, what if? Please, britt, before we go any further, I need to know. Will you help me? Rory, why does it look like you two have your heads together? Oh. Well, esmé was just picking my brain to see if there was a way to continue her internship at spring ridge. I told her that I couldn’t help but knew someone that could. I offered to put their name and number in esmé’s phone, but esmé wouldn’t trust me with her phone. Can you believe that? I’ve, um, had enough sun for today. He’s all yours.

    [ Scoffs ] Okay, what did i just walk in on? A beginning. Esmé knows that I know what she knows. You told her? I served notice. Big difference. Who you calling? Jack. Who’s jack? My trumpet player. Hey, jack! What’s cracking, baby? This is marshall. No, no, no. I’m sorry. I’m not calling about a gig. Although I do have a request. It’s not a musical one, though. Tell me something, baby. You still plugged in like that? Yeah. Black market commodities. Cellphones, can’t be traced. No questions asked. Some people have grandfathers that read them bedtime stories. I am not mad at marshall pulling out all the stops. Trina’s future is at stake, and it looks like your grandfather’s just the right man. I’m listening, baby. Tell me something I can use, now. Gladys: Don’t you know by now that I think of sasha as my daughter? And whatever’s good enough for the two of you is good enough for me. And if you don’t believe me, maybe you’re right. Maybe it is time I moved out. Nobody wants you to move out, gladys. Brando and i are counting on you, aren’t we, brando? Whatever you say, honey. You know mrs. Myerson’s son harold won the lottery? And what was the first thing he did? Bought his mom a condo in boca. So if you want to be rid of me, I’m up for my own condo. Ma, nobody wants to get rid of you, okay? Hold up, didn’t you just take willow to the hospital? How is she? Say something. Um, I… are you sure that you’re pregnant? I mean, we — we’ve been so careful. I know, I thought so, too, but still, it happens.

    [ Exhales sharply ] What am I doing? You’re pregnant. Michael, michael. Hey, you don’t have to pretend for me. Is this something you want? What do you mean? I-I mean, the plan is for me to graduate from nursing school and then, you know, be a nurse for a few years, so… do you want this baby? I mean, I’m — I’m still processing everything. I mean, we’re obviously not married. Wiley’s been our whole world, and we haven’t even discussed giving him a sibling. But I mean, do I want this baby? Willow, hell yes. Do you want this baby?


    You know, cody’s a pretty charming guy. He makes a lot of jokes, makes a lot of friends. And the trouble that he finds himself in or creates, you know, he always finds a way to handle the consequences of it, good or bad, you know? Yeah, but you knew him a long time ago. Do you think he’s the same way? I don’t know. I mean, he seems to be. But it’s weird. Like, it seems like he’s got to settle down and stop drifting, right? I don’t know. Who knows? Maybe he will stick around long enough and find a partner as wonderful as you did. No, that can’t happen. There’s no way lightning could strike twice like that. I will not be subjected to another shake-up. Look, man, pretty sure it’s a shake-down, but relax, damian. I’m not trying to milk you for any more money. What — what do you want? Think of it… think of it like an investment. In what? Yours truly. Now, here’s what you’re going to do. Trina: Look, I know you’re a cop and you’ve had all kinds of training, but when it comes to esmé, you need to watch out. She’s wickedly smart. Emphasis on wicked. I appreciate the heads up, but don’t you have enough on your plate to worry about? Your case is going to trial soon, right? Unfortunately, yes. I thought I’d be excited to see the day in court, but… I still don’t have proof that esmé set me up. Well, until you walk into that courtroom, every second counts. Spence, I’m so glad to see you. Spence, what is it? What’s wrong? Jack, you’re more down than four flat tires. You’re the best, baby. I knew I could count on you. Aw, man, you’re talking —

    [ Laughs ] I’ll talk to you soon. Alright. I got a name and an address of a guy who deals in black market cellphones. I am impressed with your network of people. Hey, you know how the music business is. It’s not the most stable industry. Everybody got to have a ham or a hustle to survive. I suppose so. I’ll just need that name and address. Oh, nice try. Nice try, son. T.J., Tell your uncle ain’t no way in hell he going anywhere without me. Do I want this baby? Are you kidding? Ever since my mom — ever since harmony died and I found out she wasn’t my biological mother, all I’ve done is stress. So when I fainted again, in the back of my mind, I expected T.J. To tell me that I had some serious illness. When he told me I was pregnant, it was the last thing I expected. But after the initial shock, I thought back to the first time I ever held wiley and how incredibly happy I was. Now our family is expanding. I didn’t know my heart could get any bigger, but it did. Suddenly, there’s not just room for you and wiley, but I’m in love with a baby I’ve never even met. I don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy. I don’t know its name. I don’t know what it looks like, but… I’m in love. So am I. And wiley will always be our firstborn and always have a special place in my heart, but… I’m pregnant, michael. With your baby.

    Our baby. I’ve never wanted anything more in my life. Sasha, you look upset. What did, uh — what did the doctor say about willow? Is she sick? No. I don’t know. Um, michael is with her now. All I know is T.J. Said it wasn’t serious. Um, I think it’s probably time to head on home, don’t you think? I made a lasagna earlier. Just got to heat it up. Unless my rich daughter-in-law wants to spring for dinner at the port charles grill, I can throw the lasagna in the freezer. You know I love your lasagna, ma.

    [ Cellphone ringing ] I need to take this. You guys go on home. My car’s out front. I’ll meet you there.

    [ Ringing continues ] Uh-huh. Okay. See you at home? Mm-hmm.

    [ Ringing continues ] What do you want? Is that any way to greet an old friend? I have connections. I can get you what you need.

    [ Cellphone chimes ]

    Just sent you a number. Give me a call, sooner rather than later. It’ll be our little secret. Okay. I’m listening.


    You know, I hope cody realizes how lucky he is to have a friend like you. I’m the lucky one, ’cause I got you. Though things have, uh — have changed. How so? Well, when we were kids, you know, I envied cody and the way he got around people. And what’s different about today? Today, I don’t envy cody at all. No, no, I cannot do that. It’s — it’s so… manipulative. This is nothing compared to what I’ve already seen you do. Okay, just do this one little thing for me, and we’re square. I just — I just don’t want to see anyone get hurt. Do I look like the type of guy who goes around hurting people? No. Come on. Trust me. When this is all done and my ship comes in, everyone will come out ahead. Lemonade, just like you ordered. Unless you’d like a sidecar of tequila and a salt shaker. Don’t tempt me. Mm-hmm. I can only assume spencer is the one who has you wavering?

    [ Sighs ] He needs help if he’s going to get his girlfriend what she wants. You turned him down, right? I could lie and say I did, but against my better judgment, I said yes. I’m not warning you because i think you’re naive or gullible. I’m warning you because that’s how awful esmé is. You don’t want to make an enemy out of her, and you’ve already stuck your neck out once for me. You really, really should not get involved. It’s a little late for that. Well, look at that. Maybe trina has fully moved on from obsessing about you, spence. I can see I’m not gonna get anywhere trying to talk you out of this. See, you’re learning. Like you said, clock is ticking. We gonna do this? We are in this together. Hey, count me in for whatever you need. Anything for trina. This is all so new and unexpected. It’s more than I ever let myself dream about. I mean, I have you and wiley, and now, our very own baby. Michael, I can’t ask for anything more. Neither can I, willow. Neither can I. What do you care if I appear on home & heart shopping channel? I don’t really give a damn, but your adoring public does. To cover your appearance, I’m going to need credentials. And for some strange reason, they won’t grant me access.

    [ Scoffs ] Imagine that. I knew this was a waste of time. Thanks for nothing. Wait. Yes? Liam mike corbin. You were here for such a short time, but you made quite the impact. And you were so, so loved. I have to believe that you have felt that. And I hope with everything in me that you still do. Maybe I can help you… if you can help me and return.

    Days of Our Lives Transcript

    Days of Our Lives logo

    Transcript provided by Suzanne

    Theo:You didn’t have to buy my coffee.

    Chanel: Well, I owe you. I didn’t wanna be alone with big mama all the way to o’hare.

    Theo: [Chuckles] You know, I didn’t mind going. Big mama’s–she’s funny. Everything she thinks comes straight out of her mouth.

    Chanel: Mm-hmm, and she wants to be in everybody’s business, especially mine. I don’t think she’s ready for a fluid granddaughter.

    Theo: You know, I don’t think my folks are ready for a kid on the spectrum, but I think it worked out. They got used to it.

    Chanel: Thanks for saying that.

    [Sighs] I got enough to worry about right now. We both do.

    Theo: [Sighs] I still can’t believe that lani, at our dad’s wedding, stood up and said that she was the one who shot that guy.

    Chanel: Yeah, I knew something was bothering her, but I didn’t think it was that.

    Theo: How’s paulina taking it?

    Chanel: [Sighs] It’s killing her that she couldn’t protect lani. That’s why I said I’d take big mama to the airport. Her and abe deserve at least one morning together. That’s probably all the honeymoon they’re gonna get.

    [Both moaning]

    Abe: [Chuckles]

    Paulina: [Sighs] Ooh, I woke up this morning, and for a minute, I thought that our wedding was just a dream, and then I saw you beside me.

    [Both laugh] Oh, I feel truly blessed, abraham.

    Abe: Oh. Two dreams came true in the park yesterday.

    Paulina: [Laughs] Oh, look, this is our first morning as married people, and your breakfast is already on the table!

    Abe: Oh, cooked, huh?

    Paulina: Uh-huh, indeed I did. My world-famous omelets.

    Abe: Uh…

    Paulina: Voil!

    Abe: Yeah, they, uh–they look great. They look great.

    Paulina: [Chuckles]

    Abe: All right. Let’s see here.

    Paulina: Uh-huh. [Chuckles]

    Abe: The proof is in the egg.

    Paulina: [Laughs]

    Abe: Mmm.

    Paulina: Mmm– oh, that’s terrible! Mm-mm!

    [Gags] It’s all dried out! I must’ve cooked it too long.

    Abe: [Chuckling]

    Paulina: Oh. Ooh. Oh, no.

    Abe: It’s all right. It’s all right. Your mind is on lani, and so is mine.

    Paulina: Oh, abe. Oh, I worked her whole life to protect her from ray coates, and he got to her anyway! Oh, abe, what’s gonna happen to my little girl?

    [Whimpers]

    Julie: So tell me about lani. How is she holding up?

    Eli: She’s strong.

    Julie: I know that.

    Eli: And she has justin for a lawyer.

    Julie: And he’s the best.

    Eli: Yeah, but he has to get the da to agree to a plea deal, and I’m praying that he can keep lani from doing any prison time.

    Julie: Every single person at that wedding was ready to take a vow of silence about her confession. She did not have to go to the police and turn herself in.

    Eli: I told her that.

    Julie: Well, she should’ve listened to you.

    Eli: Yeah, she should’ve, but she figured she has to go through this to get past it. My wife’s a better person than I am.

    Julie: Don’t say that, sweetheart.

    Eli: Justin has to cut that deal for her.

    Julie: With melinda trask.

    Eli: Yeah, I know, grandma. I know.

    Justin: Thank you for making time for me today. I just wanna finalize lani’s plea agreement before the hearing today.

    Melinda: Sit down.

    Justin: Thank you. I thought we made some real progress last night on the phone. Let’s see here–one count of involuntary manslaughter, two to three years, minimum security facility. I’m pretty sure the judge will sign off on this.

    Melinda: Maybe she will, but I won’T.

    Justin: That’s not what you said last night.

    Melinda: I know what I said. But then I gave it more thought. Lani grant shot her own father to death–an unarmed man who had done nothing to her. If you think I’m gonna let her skate, then you don’t know me that well.

    [Door clicks open]

    Lani: What’s up, pete?

    Pete: You have a visitor.

    Lani: That’s why they brought me down? Who is it?

    Kristen as susan: Hey, it’s me! [Laughs] Ooh, wait, you know, I know this is a surprise, and I know you don’t know me from a bale of hay, but, detective lani price, I need to talk to you.

    Lani: Why?

    Kristen as susan: I had me one of my premonitions.

    Lani: About me? What? What is it?

    Kristen as susan: Well, something told me that you needed to see your best friend.

    Lani: Kristen?

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

    [Soft orchestration]

    Justin: If this is your idea of a joke, it’s not funny.

    Melinda: I’m not known for my sparkling sense of humor.

    Justin: [Chuckles] Ray coates may not have done anything directly to lani on the day that he died, but lani’s husband had just remembered that it was ray who shot him. So lani left eli’s hospital room and went directly to her mother’s apartment, where she found her father lying on the ground unconscious. For all she knew, abe was dead, and her mother was next.

    Melinda: Okay, save all of this for your summation. Detective grant should’ve arrested coates and run him in. You know I’m right.

    Justin: Which is why I agreed to two to three years. Look, detective grant turned herself in.

    Melinda: Yeah, took her long enough.

    Justin: She is a decorated police officer with a spotless record.

    Melinda: Spotless? Are you kidding me?

    Justin: I went over it last night!

    Melinda: Some things don’t make it on the record. Things get whitewashed.

    Justin: Are you talking about stefan dimera? You know damn well that lani only fired that shot because vivian alamain pulled a gun on her. Stefan took that shot for his mother. Ia ruled that it was a clean shoot.

    Melinda: This isn’t about stefan dimera. I’m talking about detective grant and what she did for her friend kristen dimera.

    Lani: You do realize you’re in a building full of cops, kristen?

    Kristen: Yeah, but the getup fooled you, didn’t it?

    Lani: It won’t fool them. You used the same getup to walk out of here. You think they don’t remember that?

    Kristen: Seems to me you need to worry about yourself.

    Lani: I am. I’m scared to death.

    Kristen: I know you are. I heard that coates guy shot eli. There was no way I was gonna leave you in here to deal with this alone.

    Lani:Ot with it alone.

    Kristen: You got me out of here once, and now I’m gonna return the favor.

    Lani: Wait, what?

    Kristen: Mm-hmm. Everything is all set, and that is no joke. By tonight, you won’t have to worry about spending one minute behind bars.

    Abe: Oh, waffles. My favorite.

    Paulina: They’re frozen, and the syrup is sugar-free.

    Abe: Ah, don’t worry about it. You know, I am having as hard a time getting into the spirit of the honeymoon as you are. But in every way that counts, lani is our daughter.

    Paulina: Oh, abe. She is, isn’t she?

    [Knocking at door] Mm, now who could that be?

    Abe: Don’t know.

    Paulina: [Coughs] You?

    Abe: Beth? What are you doing here?

    Paulina: I thought you left town.

    Beth: I heard about what happened to lani. I had to come back. I had to tell her how sorry I am.

    Abe: About what?

    Beth: For not stopping ray coates when I could have. I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

    Chanel: [Sighs] You finding anything?

    Theo: Bunch of stuff about lani’s arrest. Nothing about her getting a deal.

    Chanel: Yeah, me too.

    Theo: Maybe we just give it a little while. My dad said the hearing’s not even until this afternoon. Look, I’m worried about her too. But the press isn’t gonna have anything to report until the da signs off on a deal.

    Chanel: You’re right. You’re better at these things than I am.

    Theo: No, I just know salem better than you do. But I’m just as worried about her as you are. That little thing olivia did, getting everybody together down at the station to show our support for lani? It meant a lot to her.

    Chanel: It did. I could tell.

    Theo: And even with everything that happened, yesterday was amazing. First day that salem had ever celebrated juneteenth, and your mom and my dad were the ones who did it.

    Chanel: They did.

    Theo: And the wedding was great, including your catch of the bouquet.

    Chanel: Uh, just because I caught that thing doesn’t mean I have to be the next person to get married.

    Theo: No, but you could be. You just have to decide which twin you wanna spend your life with.

    Eli: Grandma, jules is probably gonna be a handful. I’ve had trouble getting her down. Lani’s the one who had the magic touch with that.

    Julie: Now, sweetheart, I want you to remember justin is as good as it gets, and I want you to be confident, and I want you to forget about blaming yourself for letting lani turn herself into the police.

    Eli: It’s not only that, grandma.

    Julie: What do you mean?

    Eli: Look, when I remembered that it was tr that shot me, I blurted it out to lani when I should’ve kept my mouth shut and called rafe.

    Julie: You had just come out of a coma, sweetheart.

    Eli: Yeah, but I told her right before she went to paulina’s house and shot tr.

    Julie: Well, you had no control over that.

    Eli: Grandma, there’s more. I was okay letting paulina go to prison for lani.

    Julie: You were trying to protect your family, darling.

    Eli: So was lani. She confessed because she wants the kids to be able to have a mother that they can look up to. I gotta get to the precinct.

    Julie: Okay.

    Eli: Grandma, thank you for watching the kids on such short notice. I know you got a lot going on.

    Julie: Don’t even think about me. You go and see lani, and be sure to tell justin that he’s got to get the best deal he possibly can for her out of melinda trask.

    Eli: Thank you.

    [Door clicks shut]

    Justin: What does kristen dimera have to do with this?

    Melinda: Surely you haven’t forgotten that kristen stabbed your uncle victor and escaped custody. She didn’t do that on her own. She was aided and abetted by her friend, detective grant.

    Justin: Where did you get that?

    Melinda: If you really didn’t know about it, it’s because abe carver made sure the police department closed ranks around the person he believed was his daughter.

    Justin: [Sighs] Where’s your proof?

    Melinda: Oh, I can prove it. Trust me. Spotless record, you say. It has more spots than a freakin’ dalmatian. Detective grant has been taking the law into her own hands whenever she feels like it, and she’s been getting away with it. But that is going to stop today.

    Lani: You gotta get out of here while you still can. It is not your job to save me.

    Kristen: Oh, so you’re gonna let the da railroad you?

    Lani: No, I’m not. I hired justin. He is trying to get the charges reduced to involuntary manslaughter with the minimum sentence.

    Kristen: And one minute away from your children is one minute too many, speaking from bitter personal experience.

    Lani: Kristen, I know how much you miss rachel.

    Kristen: No, you don’T. No, you don’t–not yet. But if you get sent to prison, you are gonna find out the hard way.

    Lani: I am at peace with my decision. Look, I know you risked everything coming here, and I love you for it. But I am asking you to go–now.

    Abe: What could you have done to change what lani did?

    Beth: All I had to do was speak up. Tr made me tell everybody that he was clean and sober and not violent anymore.

    [Sighs] I knew better, but I did it anyway, and as usual, he had a way to make me keep my mouth shut.

    Abe: And what was that?

    Beth: [Sighs] A part. A lousy part in a movie, and god help me, I went for it.

    [Sighs]

    Abe: What made you come by eli’s hospital room when I met you? You said you wanted to talk to lani.

    Beth: I was gonna tell her about tr. But I chickened out.

    [Scoffs] But seeing her sitting there just waiting for her husband’s eyes to open, I just–

    [Sighs] I couldn’t get it out of my head. Tr figured out he couldn’t count on me anymore, so…

    [Sighs] He beat me black and blue and told me to leave town. After that, I was too afraid to do anything.

    Paulina: I know what it’s like to be and live in fear of that man. You can’t blame yourself for anything you did or didn’t do after he beat you. You were just trying to stay alive! He got me pregnant with lani, and I gave her up because I was so afraid of him.

    Beth: You did the right thing.

    Paulina: Well, she didn’t think so when she found out, but thank god it’s all cleared up now and I can tell the world that she’s mine.

    Abe: You know, paulina’s right. You weren’t in the right frame of mind to come forward.

    Beth: Everybody’s being so nice to me–you two, eli…

    [Sighs] I’m telling you, I don’t deserve it.

    Paulina: No, you stop. You stop saying that.

    Beth: No, it’s true. I knew what tr was gonna do to you, and I didn’t warn you.

    Paulina: Child, what are you talking about?

    When moderate to severe

    ulcerative colitis persists…

    Justin: If all you have on lani is something you think happened, you’re gonna have a tough time with the judge.

    Melinda: Eli grant knows lani let kristen escape. Oh, I see he kept that from you. Think about what that’ll do to his career when I make him testify under oath about his wife’s activities.

    Justin: Why have you been sitting on this all these years? Doesn’t seem like your style.

    Melinda: I do have a heart, counselor. I gave lani a pass because I do believe in second chances, and it did seem like she was the kind of cop that salem needs. My instinct was wrong, and now I have the chance to correct that error in judgment.

    Justin: Is manslaughter off the table?

    Melinda: You bet it is.

    Justin: So what’s the charge going to be?

    Kristen: Fine. Fine, take the da’s lousy deal and tell yourself that it won’t be long before you’re back together with your family. But do I have to remind you what happens to cops when they’re sent to prison?

    Lani: You’re just trying to scare me.

    Kristen: No, I want to keep you alive. Why won’t you let me help you?

    [Door clicks open]

    Eli: What the hell?

    Kristen as susan: Ah, shoot! Detective grant! I–oh, my goodness! Thank the lord you are here, because I had a dream about your poor wife–

    Eli: Just shut up, kristen! I know it’s you!

    Kristen as susan: [Stammers]

    [Baby crying]

    [Doorbell rings]

    Julie: It’s okay, jules. Grammy will be right back. Who could that be at the door now?

    [Gasps]

    Paulina: I–I can’t believe this!

    [Scoffs]

    Beth: I am so sorry.

    Paulina: Oh.

    Abe: Paulina. Look, sweetheart, you need to– you need to take a breath. So do I.

    [Cell phone rings] Oh, excuse me. Oh, bill from the da’s office.

    [Cell phone beeps] Bill, look, I am sorry, but I’m right in the middle of something.

    Paulina: Something’s wrong. What–abe, what is it?

    Abe: All right. Yes, okay. Well, thank you, bill. Thanks. Thanks for letting me know.

    Paulina: Know? Know what?

    [Cell phone beeps]

    Abe: Da trask is on the war path. Lani’s deal went south.

    Paulina: Yeah, but justin said–oh, no. Let’s go.

    Beth: Go where?

    Paulina: Well, we gotta make this right.

    Kristen as susan: Detective eli grant, whatever do you mean? I’m susan banks. Let me just tell you ’bout my dream!

    Eli: Do I need to snatch that damn wig off your head to end this?

    Kristen: [Sighs] Fine. Fine. Yeah, it’s me.

    Lani: Eli, I had no idea.

    Kristen: Yeah, I know. Best friends don’t abandon friends in a situation like your wife is in. Listen, I’m ready to help you. I don’t care what happens to me.

    Eli: Yeah, well, you better care, ’cause you’re a fugitive. Turn around. Put your hands behind your back.

    [Dramatic music]

    Lani: Eli. Eli, wait.

    Eli: I don’t have a choice. You know how bad it’ll be for you if I let her go?

    Justin: Susan banks? What are you doing here?

    Kristen as susan: [Gasps] I just had a powerful vision. Yeah, and–and I came here because I had it in the night, and they won’t listen to me. But will you listen to me?

    Justin: I’m sure I’ll regret this, but go ahead.

    Kristen as susan: Okay, okay. Well, today is gonna be a very, very good day for detective lani grant.

    Lani: Justin, what happened?

    Justin: I need to speak with my client alone.

    Lani: No, no, it’s fine. Just say what you’re gonna say.

    Justin: I thought I had a deal with the da last night, but this morning, she did a complete 180.

    Eli: What? What’s the charge?

    Justin: Murder one, life without parole.

    Julie: Well, I’m surprised to see you here. I thought you said you were gonna spend time at home today because of jack and jennifer.

    Doug: Yeah.

    Julie: Because of abigail. Oh, this is so bad.

    Doug: It’s as bad as it gets. But jack and jennifer needed some time alone this morning.

    Julie: You sure?

    Doug: Yeah.

    Julie: I always think when something like this happens, you should let people know that you’re there, so they can lean on you.

    Doug: That’s why I’m here.

    Julie: Oh, darling, eli’s already left.

    Doug: Not eli, honey. I’m here for you.

    Abe: I just heard a rumor that you rejected the plea deal that justin proposed.

    Melinda: [Chuckles] You have a spy in this office?

    Paulina: So is the rumor true?

    Melinda: Yes, it is. I intend to ask for a verdict of murder in the first.

    Paulina: Murder in the fir– no damn way!

    Melinda: All I’m interested in is justice for tr coates.

    Abe: Murder one requires that you prove premeditation. You can’t do that.

    Melinda: Watch me. This is my decision, not yours.

    Paulina: Well, look at her. Well, she’s just lovin’ this. Well, let me tell you something. Both sides can play hardball.

    Melinda: What’s that supposed to be, some kind of threat?

    Paulina: You think I’m just gonna stand by and watch you railroad my daughter?

    Melinda: Yeah, and what exactly are you gonna do to stop me? Wha–what’s this? Who is she?

    Paulina: [Chuckles] Madam district attorney, I want you to meet the ace up my sleeve. I was taking my antidepressant daily,

    Doug: I know how much you love eli, honey, and he’s never had to face anything like this before.

    Julie: No, he hasn’t, and he doesn’t deserve it, and lani doesn’t deserve it, and those babies… oh, god, doug, why do good people have to deal with so much suffering?

    Doug: I do not know. But when they do, they’re lucky if they have someone to lean on as strong as you are.

    Julie: Oh…

    Doug: But you need someone to lean on too, and baby, that is specifically why I’m here.

    Julie: Just when I thought there was no way I could love you anymore…ooh.

    Doug: [Chuckles]

    Julie: [Inhales deeply]

    [Sighs] Well, lani doesn’t just have me and eli. She has justin too.

    Doug: Yes, thank god for that.

    Julie: Yeah, thank god for that, and if he can’t get her off, I’m sure he’ll be able to get her back to her family as soon as possible.

    [Sighs]

    Eli: Murder one? How’d this happen?

    Justin: Remember when I asked you if there was anything in your past that I should know about?

    Lani: Yeah.

    Justin: You left something out, and trask knows what it is.

    Kristen as susan: Oh, I don’t like the energy in this room.

    Justin: Trask is planning to tell a jury that whenever it works to your advantage, that you are willing to take the law into your own hands.

    Lani: Oh, my god.

    Justin: Lani, lani, I am not giving up. I’m gonna do everything I can to help you. But I am starting from square one. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

    Lani: [Sighs]

    Eli: You know what he’s talking about? That time that lani helped you escape!

    Kristen: Okay, instead of screaming at me, why don’t you let me help your wife?

    Eli: Let you help my wife? Just what do you have in mind?

    Kristen: You know, I didn’t come here to risk going back to prison just for moral support. I came here to break her out.

    Eli: [Scoffs] Oh, my god.

    Kristen: All right, I need you to hear me out. I need you to hear me out. This is how it’s gonna go. Kay, no, listen. Trask is gonna ask to get you remanded immediately to statesville, and the judge is gonna grant it.

    Lani: Oh, I cannot believe you are talking like this–

    Kristen: Okay, but I need you to listen to me. I’m gonna finish this.

    Lani: [Sighs]

    Kristen: Then they’re gonna– they’re gonna order a van, and you are gonna get on that van, and I am gonna take it from there, and you, you are gonna stay out of my way.

    Eli: You’re not gonna tell me what the hell I’m gonna do.

    Kristen: Do you want your wife back or not?

    Lani: Oh, my god, kristen. Kristen, you need to–you need to stop. Do you hear me? Stop. Please.

    Kristen: Hey. Please, I just need you to think this through, honey, please. You know what? You gave tr coates what he had coming to him. Why should that cost you the rest of your life?

    Beth: Tr told lani he was a changed man, and she believed him. Everybody did. But I knew he hadn’t changed one bit.

    Melinda: I am sorry for what you’ve been through, but your experience changes nothing. We have a saying in the police department. “You don’t get to pick your vic,” and tr coates may have been a reprehensible man, but he is still the victim here, and it is my duty to prosecute his killer.

    Paulina: Okay, well, if you will just let us just finish, then, you know, see how you feel about the rest of that pretty little speech. Go ahead. Tell her the rest.

    Beth: Tr was getting desperate. He was running out of money, and he said he could still make paulina do anything he wanted. So he was going to romance her, marry her, and then take her somewhere and kill her so he can inherit all her money.

    Melinda: [Stammers] How do you know all of this?

    Beth: He told me.

    Abe: Sounds like premeditated murder.

    Melinda: Okay, a crime that mr. Coates did not live to commit. Again, legally, my hands are tied here.

    Abe: We are not here to parse the letter of the law, ms. Trask.

    Melinda: And why not?

    Abe: Do you like your job? Because you are on the fast track to throwing it away. Feeling sluggish or weighed down?

    Melinda: It sounds like you’re threatening me, mayor carver. If I don’t let lani grant off with a slap on the wrist, then you’re gonna take away my job?

    Paulina: Let me spell it out for you. First, there’s a court of law, and then there’s a court of public opinion.

    Abe: Ms. Trask, when the good people of salem realize that you had a chance to stand up for abused women but chose a violent drug addict who beat those women, a man who shot a police officer in cold blood, you know the city council will insist that I demand your immediate resignation.

    Melinda: We only have the word of this young woman for most of it. I mean, how am I supposed to– how am I supposed to know she’s reliable?

    Beth: I still have the selfies that I took after he beat me. You wanna see them? I warn you, you might lose your breakfast.

    Paulina: Those pictures could cause quite a stir if they wind up on page one.

    Abe: Well, then, it’s all up to you, ms. Trask. It’s in your hands.

    [Baby cooing]

    Julie: So, little jules, what do you say? It’s a better place for a nap? You know your daddy wants you to have a nap even though you don’t want to have a nap. You just want a little heart-to-heart.

    [Chuckles] Loves to chat. Wonder where she gets that.

    Doug: [Chuckles]

    Julie: Well, sweetheart, what if we put this nice blankey on you, and you stretched out, and you can just go off to dream land.

    [Baby cooing] No. What on earth have I got to do to get you to go to sleep?

    Doug: I know.

    Skeeters am a hummin’

    on a honeysuckle vine

    sleep, kentucky babe

    Both: Sandman am a comin’

    to this little babe of mine

    sleep, kentucky babe

    silvery moon am shinin’

    in the heavens up above

    bobolink am pinin’ for his

    little lady love

    you is mighty lucky

    babe of old kentucky

    close your eyes and sleep

    fly away, la-la-la-la

    Chanel: I mean it. I’m not leaning either way.

    Theo: Maybe because if you actually picked one, you wouldn’t be the center of attention anymore.

    Chanel: That’s mean. This is hard.

    Theo: Hard is when the woman you love leaves you at the altar–literally. You have a choice.

    Chanel: Yeah, a complicated one. It’s not like if I choose one of them, that the other one’s just gonna go away. They’re twins. They are going to be in each other’s lives no matter what– and mine.

    Theo: And you don’t think maybe you’re making this bigger than it is?

    Chanel: Theo, I have been in a lot of relationships, but this is different. I have to hurt somebody that I really care about and then keep on seeing them forever.

    Theo: [Sighs] You know, I bet there’s one solution to this that you haven’t thought of.

    Chanel: Yeah? What?

    Theo: Dump ’em both. Get back together with me.

    Kristen: If we work together, we could pull this off.

    Lani: I want this over.

    Kristen: So are you in?

    Lani: And if I go on the run, kristen, it will never be over. I will drag eli, our two little kids through hell. The four of us will always be looking over our shoulders thinking that maybe this is the day that they finally catch up with me. I won’t do that to them. Even if my life really is done, I’m not gonna end theirs too. Let me ask something, kristen. Are you really happy with your life right now? Are you really free?

    Eli: Hey, something’s going on. Hey, we gotta get out there. We gotta get out there. You stay your ass right there. Consider yourself under arrest.

    Lani: Justin…

    Eli: Who were you talking to on the phone?

    Lani: Did something happen?

    Justin: I don’t get it. Trask is backing off. The deal I negotiated with her last night is back on– involuntary manslaughter, minimum time.

    Lani: Oh, god.

    Justin: You can breathe again.

    [Both laugh]

    Lani: [Sobbing] Like pulsing, electric shocks,

    Both: [Verbalizing guitar]

    Close your eyes

    in sleep

    [Soft music]

    Chanel: Theo, that’s– that’s sweet, but–

    Theo: I’m kidding. Chanel, I’m kidding. No, I’m with claire.

    [Both laugh] Things are really good.

    Chanel: Oh, I’m glad.

    Theo: No, no, me and claire were together before ciara, and claire’s grown up a lot now.

    Chanel: Must be nice to know you’re with the right person. I would give anything if my life wasn’t so complicated.

    [Cell phone beeps] It’s johnny and allie. They both want to know if I saw their text.

    [Sighs] You know what? I’m gonna take you up on your offer. Let ’em have it.

    Abe: You did the right thing, ms. Trask.

    Melinda: You both are blackmailers. I won’t forget that.

    Paulina: Oh, are you kidding? We just saved you from yourself. So do yourself a favor: Don’t ever mess with my family again or I’ll be right back in your face. Let’s go.

    [Chuckles] Ugh.

    [Door clicks shut]

    Melinda: [Sighs]

    Lani: [Sighs]

    Eli: It’s gonna be hard for a while, okay? But we’re gonna put this behind us. It’s gonna be over, baby. Justin, thank you. Thank you so much.

    Justin: I don’t think I should take the credit.

    Lani: I do. I have some really hard goodbyes ahead of me, but I still have a future, and we have something to look forward to.

    Justin: I have to prepare for the hearing, but I’ll call you as soon as everything’s official.

    Lani: Thank you.

    Eli: I got some unfinished business in there.

    Lani: I know. I’ll be right here. I’m sorry it has to be this way.

    Eli: But we both know it does. I was expecting a fight.

    Kristen: What, you think I’d make a run for it? See, then I’d have to walk right past you.

    Eli: Well, if anyone could pull that off, it’s you.

    Kristen: I heard what lani said before, and she’s right. I am so tired of running. So…put on the cuffs. I’m ready to face the music.

    Transcript provided by Suzanne

    Eric: Our marriage is over, quinn, but– but what you have with carter doesn’t have to be.

    Quinn: He’s getting married to paris right now as we speak.

    Eric: Not if you hurry.

    [ “Here comes the bride”]

    Charlie: Dearly beloved. I love saying that word, “beloved.” It, uh– now I know why you like doing these things, I mean, it makes you feel kind of powerful, right? I’ll try to do you proud.

    Carter: You already are.

    Charlie: So I’m sure some of you are wondering what the heck is charlie webber, head of forrester security, doing up here? Well, I’m taking time off from my official duties to help out a friend. And carter, it is my sincere pleasure to help you do this. And you too, ms. Buckingham. Future mrs. Coo. So welcome all, to the wedding of paris buckingham and carter walton.

    Eric: We had a wonderful marriage.

    Quinn: We did.

    Eric: We were meant to be together, but there’s no going back now. There’s still time for you and carter, though. He’s getting married right now. Just down the beach. You can stop him. Quinn. Go.

    Quinn: I have to go. I’ve gotta stop a wedding.

    Charlie: Before we proceed, there is a little bit of unpleasantness we have to get out of the way. Is there anyone present who has reason to believe that carter and paris should not be married? Any objections at all? If so, speak now. Or, as they say, forever hold your peace.

    Donna: Eric? I, uhm, saw quinn, running out. I– are you okay?

    Quinn: Hey! Hello? Valet! Come on! Okay.

    [ Door rattling] Come on! Yes, always works in the movies.

    [ Pin rattling ] That doesn’t work! Hey! Ah, oh. Shoot! Okay. And now please welcome ana montoya.

    Donna: Eric. Are you sure about this? It– it’s definitely over between you and quinn?

    Eric: Just aout as definite as it can get. But you knew that. I told you that before she came in. I’m ready for this. I’m ready for us.

    Donna: I am too, I– I mean, I have been for– for an embarrassingly long time.

    Eric: I’m glad I caught up.

    Donna: Yes. And I– I’m glad that quinn didn’t– didn’t come after me on the way out there.

    Eric: So am I. But she was more– she was upset, but– but, more hurt, and angry, yeah. But she has other things on her mind. Like stopping a wedding.

    Donna: What? Uh, I– I saw quinn running out on–

    Eric: Yeah, I never doubted her love for me, I never did, but– from the moment she had this affair with carter, I knew that she was falling in love with him. He’s at il giardino right now, down the beach. Getting ready to get married, and– and I just hope, I hope she gets there in time to stop it. I hope she gets there in time to tell him what she feels.

    Quinn: Ow! Okay, okay.

    [ Phone ringing ]

    Quinn: Ugh! Carter, I– I know, I know you probably don’t have your phone with you, because you’re getting married. You’re getting married to pa–

    Man: Hey!

    Quinn: Sorry! You’re getting married to paris. But please, carter, don’t marry paris. I have to tell you what happened. Something huge just happened. Just do me a favor. Just check your phone, it changes everything, and I need you to just call me. So don’t marry her, call me.

    Host: Ma’am.

    Quinn: Huh?

    Host: Do you want to take out a bike?

    Quinn: Bike? Yes. I wanna take out a bike.

    Host: Then can I just have your name?

    Quinn: Uh, my name is, uh, ooh! Charge it to eric forrester.

    [ Bike bell ringing ]

    Charlie: Well, seeing and hearing no objections. Not that I expected to. We may proceed. Hope, the floor is yours.

    Hope: Thank you, charlie. And thank you to paris and carter for asking me to speak here today, in this moment, this, um, rather unexpected moment for most of us, I believe, but, that’s the beautiful thing about love. It can be rather mysterious, and unexpected, and you might not even notice it at first, when it sneaks up on you. But when it hits you, when you realize that you’ve met the person that you can’t stop thinking about, that feels impossible to be without, then you have to go for it. When true love arrives, you know. And I think I not only speak for myself, but for all of us here today to say that we are thrilled that you have found that within each other. If you have type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure

    [ Bike bell ringing ]

    Quinn: What is he doing? Move, move!

    Woman: Head’s up, lady!

    Quinn: Wait, ah!

    [ Thudding ]

    Charlie: “Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease. Where there are tongues, they will be stilled. Where there is knowledge, it will pass away.”

    “See only a reflection, as in a mirror. Then you shall see face to face now I know in part, then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain. Faith, hope and love. But the greatest feast is love.” Now, if the bride and groom would please join hands? Let us pray.

    Ridge: All right, I’m sorry to interrupt, but I’m– I’m gonna need a second.

    Charlie: Yeah. Well, uh, you– you know, I’ve got an agenda here, ridge, I’m trying to run a tight ship, okay?

    Ridge: I get that, charlie, but uh, it– it’s only going to take a second.

    Charlie: Okay, fine.

    Ridge: I wasn’t going to say anything, but I kind of feel like I need to. We’ve been friends for a long time.

    Carter: Very long time. You know me better than just about anyone.

    Ridge: Probably do. I know who you are. You’re strong, you ‘re solid. Methodical. Not impulsive. Never been impulsive until now. This is– this is impulsive. And if you’re going to do that, I guess you should do it with a– with a beautiful, amazing woman like paris. She’s charmed all of us. She’s a– she’s a great asset to forrester. And she deserves… what did you say earlier? True love? You’ll know it, right, when it–? Yeah. We all deserve that. That’s what I was thinking. We need someone that’ll love us, completely. We all deserve that. We shouldn’t settle for anything else.

    Carter: Thank you, ridge. Your friendship, your loyalty, it, uh, it means a lot.

    Charlie: Yeah– thank you, uh, ridge. Where did I lose control here?

    [ Paris laughing ] Where was I? I– uh. Oh, prayer. Uh, let us bow our heads.

    If you have copd,

    Quinn: Get out of the way! Coming through. Move! Move, move, move!

    [ Bell ringing ]

    Charlie: Carter and paris have written their own vows, which they will make to each other now. Paris. Would you like to begin?

    Paris: Oh, well, I didn’t really have anything written. I thought I’d just speak from the heart.

    [ Exhaling ] Oh, boy. I– I’m not a nervous person, until now. Okay, I’ve heard a lot about how this wedding is happening very fast. Believe me, I was surprised too. This all is very unexpected. But I’d fallen for you. I mean, how could I not? You’re this attractive, confident, magnificent man. And did I mention attractive?

    [ Carter chuckling ] I knew I wanted to be here with you. And I wasn’t even thinking about marriage until you proposed. Oh, my god. You know when everything just feels like it’s falling into place. That’s how it feels right now. Standing up here with you. It all just feels like it makes sense.

    Carter: It does, doesn’t it?

    Paris: I’m excited for this adventure with you. The good, the bad, the better, the worse. The richer, the poorer. Bring it on.

    Carter: Mm hm.

    Paris: I’m ready for us.

    Carter: I am, too. More than you can possibly know. I’m ready to do something with this deep, abiding love I’ve been carrying around, and paris, you’re the answer. You’re my way out. My way… forward, after being stuck for so long. And you mentioned everyone’s saying that this is moving fast, but I say the opposite. I honestly don’t know what took me so long to realize what I need.

    Charlie: Okay, lovebirds, let’s not get a room just yet, shall we? I mean, your future together doesn’t start until yours truly says it does. And I’m not making that call without a certain ring exchange. Capiche?

    Paris: Yes, sir.

    Charlie: Good. Carter, do you have the rings?

    Carter: Yes.

    Charlie: Thank god. Step one. Paris, take this ring. Place it on his finger, and repeat after me. I, paris…

    Paris: I, paris…

    Charlie: Give you this ring

    Paris: Give you this ring

    Charlie: As a token of my affection.

    Paris: As a token of my affection.

    Bold & The Beautiful Updates

    Update written by Chris

    At the club, Eric and Quinn talk about how they’re ending their marriage. Eric points out that Quinn loves Carter, who’s getting married right now to Paris.

    At Il Giardino, the wedding March is played and Paris walks down the aisle. We see her mom Grace, with Carter in the background. Charlie is happy to be there, officiating the ceremony. Charlie refers to Paris as “Future Mrs. COO” and he welcomes everyone to the wedding. Grace doesn’t look happy at all, and Ridge doesn’t look too sure about it, either. Also in attendance or Hope, Zende and Bill. Zende also doesn’t look too happy to be there.

    Eric urges Quinn to go. She’s reluctant, at first, but then leaves.

    Charlie asks if there is anyone present that believes that Carter and Paris should not be married. Paris looks around to Grace, but there is no reaction. Carter looks around to Ridge, and again, there is no reaction.

    Eric looks at his wedding ring thoughtfully. The door opens and Donna comes in, saying she saw Quinn leave. She asks if anything is okay. He holds her hands, and she caresses his cheek.

    Quinn calls for the valet, but no one shows up. Quinn tries to get into the box with all the keys in it but can’t. She takes a hairpin out of her hair to try to open it, but it doesn’t work. She walks away, taking her phone out of her pocket.

    Eric tells Donna that Quinn left to go find Carter. Donna wonders if he’s sure about this, and he shows her that he’s taken off his ring and that they’re ready to be together. Donna is happy to hear it. He tells her that Quinn was hurt and angry, but she left to stop Carter from marrying Paris. He hopes she can do it.

    Quinn tries to phone Carter, but he doesn’t answer. She figures he probably doesn’t have his phone with him, but she leaves a message, anyway. She begs him not to marry Paris before calling her. Quinn is near a bike rental place on the beach, so she takes a bike and rushes off, telling the attendant to charge it to Eric.

    Back at the wedding, Carter has a dazed look on his face. Hope gives a speech to say that their family and friends are thrilled that they have found love with each other (although no one looks too thrilled).

    Quinn tries to get to the ceremony, speeding down the boardwalk on her bike, yelling at people to get out of her way. Trying to avoid hitting a man, she rides over to the sand, where she falls over after almost getting hit with a volleyball. She gets back up on the bike.

    Charlie continues the ceremony. We see flashbacks with Carter and Quinn, to show that Carter is thinking about Quinn. Charlie tells the couple to join hands, but then Ridge interrupts the ceremony. Ridge talks about Carter’s good qualities and says that he’s not usually impulsive, but he is now. He guesses that if Carter is going to do that, he should do it with a “beautiful, amazing woman like Paris.” Ridge goes on and on about how great Paris is but then says that we should all have “true love” (as Hope said in her speech) and we shouldn’t settle for anything less. He’s hinting to Carter that he shouldn’t be marrying Paris if he’s not committed to her. Carter cuts him off by thanking him. He says that his friendship means a lot.  Charlie gets control of the ceremony again. They bow their heads in prayer.

    Quinn continues to ride her bike, having her own flashbacks of being with Carter. She gets so hot and bothered thinking of Carter that she has to unbutton her shirt a little. Quinn keeps yelling at people to get out of her way: a skateboarder, a woman bouncing a ball, etc. She cuts through a park as a shortcut.

    Carter and Paris prepare to read their own vows. Paris just speaks from her heart. She’s nervous at first and talks about how she fell for Carter unexpectedly. She lists his great qualities. Grace, Zende and Ridge frown throughout the entire ceremony. Carter says that, contrary to Ridge’s speech, he doesn’t feel like he’s acting impulsively. He’s wondering what took him so long to realize what he needs. Charlie tells them that it’s time to exchange rings, so Carter takes them out. Paris places one of the rings on Carter’s finger and repeats the vows after Charlie.

    Quinn finally arrives, drops the bike and runs inside. She sees Carter and Paris standing together, smiling, and Charlie is also smiling at them. She looks shocked and perhaps wonders if she’s too late.

    Transcript provided by Suzanne

    Phyllis: Hey, derek, can you do me a favor? Um, and get housekeeping on this right away. Half a bottle of wine and dirty glasses are outside my suite. I don’t want it there. Hard night for someone. I don’t know who left it there. I don’t know. I don’t know. But could you get rid of it? Thanks.

    Amanda: Well, hello. So, you run out of town, you leave us in the lurch for the chancellor-winters launch party, and then, worst of all, you don’t call, you don’t text.

    Phyllis: I know. I’m the worst. Hi.

    Amanda: Welcome home.

    Phyllis: Aww, thank you. Thank you.

    Amanda: So, when did you get back?

    Phyllis: I don’t know. That depends. I mean, maybe too late or too soon.

    Amanda: What do you mean?

    Phyllis: Well, too late because I definitely ruined things with jack and too soon because maybe I shouldn’t have come back in the first place.

    [ Chuckles ]

    Diane: Enjoy your cookies, harrison, and don’t forget to thank mrs. Martinez.

    Jack: How was your trip to the park?

    Diane: Oh, we had a great time, and he ran around so much that he got really hungry.

    Jack: That boy can always find a good excuse to have another dessert.

    Diane: Yes, and I could not bring myself to say no. He is a growing boy.

    Jack: Absolutely. You two seem to be really bonding.

    Diane: Yes. You know, when I had kyle, i never — I never thought that i would spend so much of his life away from him. I just — I feel like I have all this leftover love to give, and I’m really lucky that I can give it to harrison. Family really does mean so much. Oh, speaking of, uh, we saw allie at the park with noah newman. The two of them seemed to really be hitting it off.

    Jack: I am delighted to hear that. The more friends she has in town, the better the chances are she’ll stick around and put down roots. And nothing could make me happier than that.

    Diane: And…?

    Jack: And…?

    Diane: And it wouldn’t have happened if it hadn’t been for me.

    [ Chuckles ]

    Jack: You’re not gonna let me forget that, are you?

    Diane: Oh, jack abbott, are you actually smiling at me?

    Imani: Oh!

    [ Chuckles ] Fancy seeing you here.

    Elena: Imani. How’s your mom doing? Nate told me about the stroke.

    Imani: Um, amanda just got back from visiting her, so I’ll find out soon.

    Elena: Well, if you ever need a sounding board while navigating your mom’s treatment plan, don’t hesitate to ask.

    Imani: You know me. I never do. That’s why it’s so comforting to have nate around. He’s been so helpful, and I feel so taken care of.

    [ Chuckles ] Listen to me, telling you. You know all about that man.

    Elena: I like to think I do.

    Imani: Except where to find him.

    Elena: What do you mean?

    Imani: You came here to see nate, but he’s having lunch with devon at society.

    Elena: Oh. Good to know.

    Imani: [ Chuckles ] It’s so funny how I know more about nate’s comings and goings these days than you do.

    Elena: Mm.

    Imani: Isn’t it?

    Elena: Maybe for now.

    Imani: Mm.

    Nate: Your first choices for hire are aligning with mine.

    Devon: I think that’s cause for celebration. You want to grab a dessert or something?

    Nate: I wouldn’t say no to one of those fruit tarts.

    Devon: They don’t have those today. The hostess told me on the way in.

    Nate: If they didn’t have enough, why leave them on the menu?

    Devon: I don’t know. That’s frustrating, isn’t it?

    Nate: Damn right it is.

    Devon: Yeah. Get people all excited about something and then can’t deliver?

    Nate: Borderline criminal.

    Devon: Right? It’s like, uh — it’s like getting up onstage and promising 50 podcasts at the launch of a new company without double-checking to make sure that you have 50 podcasts produced and ready to release.

    Nate: Okay, hold on. I spoke to our content team, and they told me we had 50 in the pipeline.

    Devon: And do you know what the pipeline is? It consists of anything from projects that we’re interested in buying to shows that are in development to series that are being produced and ready to air. So, no, we don’t have 50 podcasts ready to go, and now we’re scrambling. Who do you think you are?

    Additional sponsorship

    provided by… my blood pressure is borderline.

    Jack: I wouldn’t read too much into my smile if I were you. My needle has barely moved from deeply suspicious and full of misgivings to cautiously trusting where you’re concerned.

    Diane: Well, some amount of movement is better than none at all. I’ll take that as a win.

    Jack: Whatever gets you through the day.

    Diane: You know, this has been a rather promising day so far. First there’s phyllis, who is vowing to be on her best behavior, and we’ve called a truce, and now jack abbott, of all people, is cautiously ready to trust me.

    Jack: You are really tenacious in your drive to turn things around, aren’t you?

    Diane: Have you forgotten? When I decide I want something, I pursue it relentlessly. And since I’ve decided that i want a fresh start here in order to rebuild my relationship with kyle, I…

    Jack: Wait, what?

    Diane: Well [Sighs] I think i might have overstepped with him, pushed too far too soon. Actually, if you have a minute, I wouldn’t mind your advice on how to fix it.

    Phyllis: Thank you. Alright, here you go, just for you.

    Amanda: Thank you.

    Phyllis: So, um, I did everything I could to take responsibility for my past deeds, right? I told jack that I was sorry for what I did. I told him that I was sorry that I allowed all my old insecurities and my past demons to take over.

    Amanda: Wow. So you did exactly what I told you to do from the start.

    Phyllis: Mm-hmm.

    Amanda: How did he respond?

    Phyllis: Oh, how’d he respond? He told me I was insincere. Yeah. That’s what he said. Even though I told him that i went to diane to offer her a truce.

    Amanda: [ Scoffs ] No, you did not.

    Phyllis: Yes, I did. I did that for my daughter because my daughter begged me to do it, even though it’s against every single fiber of my being to make nice with that bitch.

    Amanda: Well, I am really proud of you, phyllis, for putting your daughter’s feelings first.

    Phyllis: Of course. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for her. Nothing. That’s what us moms do, you know?

    Amanda: Yeah. That mother/daughter bond is…

    [ Sighs ]

    Phyllis: Right. I’m sorry. I’m going on and on about myself. What’s going on with you?

    Devon: See, my job is to make sure you can do yours effectively, and I know that this whole coo position is different than anything you’ve done in the past. But I do urge you to get up to speed on how things run around here.

    Nate: I’ve been working hard to do that. I’ve met with all the department heads, and I’ve been sitting in on planning meetings. But I jumped the gun on the announcement. And I meant what I said before. I’m sorry.

    Devon: Well, hey, i appreciate you saying it again. And I’m mostly just busting your chops ’cause I do know there’s a learning curve to all this.

    Nate: Thank you. That’s a relief.

    Devon: Yeah. However, if you do have any crowd-pleasing podcast ideas, I would love to hear them. Hey.

    Elena: Hey.

    Nate: Hey.

    Elena: Does that offer apply to eavesdroppers? ‘Cause I caught the tail end of it, and I actually might be able to help.

    Devon: Well, do you have a podcast idea?

    Elena: It’s a little rough, but, yeah, I’ve been kicking something around in my head.

    Nate: This is the first I’m hearing about this.

    Devon: Please pull up a seat.

    Elena: [ Clears throat ] So…a medical podcast. Proactive and preventative measures, patient advocacy, maybe segments about medical mysteries, where the patient presents their symptoms and they take the listener through the doctor’s attempts at finding a cure and finding a treatment.

    Devon: That’s — I mean, that sounds like a great idea, a really great idea. I know a ton of people that would be interested in listening to something like that. What do you think?

    Nate: Hmm. I don’t want to be a downer, but I don’t see how we can do it.

    Kyle: Please have a seat. Thank you for meeting with us. We know how busy you are.

    Chelsea: Please. You two are the ones in the middle of a seismic shift in regards to where and how you’re doing your business. Congratulations again on finalizing jabot’s acquisition of marchetti. I mean, everyone at fenmore’s is just buzzing about it.

    Kyle: Wait. How — how could they know? We haven’t even gone public.

    Chelsea: Oh, I mean, it’s fashion. You know, rumors and…

    Summer: People in our business know what women are gonna be wearing six months from now. Why wouldn’t they know what’s going on in the boardrooms?

    Chelsea: This is very true. Well, it is fabulous news. And I feel like something else is going on because you two keep making eyes at each other and lauren was insinuating something earlier. So, um, do tell — what else do you have up your sleeves? (Vo) at the tidy cats innovation lab.

    Jack: Wait, how did you push kyle too far?

    Diane: [ Sighs ] I asked him for help in finding me a job here. Well, I can’t rely on his financial support forever, and i wanted him to know that I fully intend to pay my own way.

    Jack: So, you’re definitely putting down roots here. What about your life in L.A.?

    Diane: Oh, there’s nothing i can’t walk away from there. And I really do want to pivot towards a career in public relations. So, I had this idea that maybe kyle could help me find something, but I regretted it as soon as the words left my mouth.

    Jack: He was opposed to it?

    Diane: Well, I… I think he was uncomfortable. I-I put him on the spot. I mean, he has enough to worry about, with taking over as ceo and moving a major international fashion house to the states, without having to deal with helping his mother find a job.

    Jack: So, how did you leave things?

    Diane: Well, I — i backpedaled. But then he said he would keep his ears open.

    [ Sighs ] I’m just worried that I took one step forward and now I’ve taken five steps back. He didn’t mention any of this to you, did he?

    Jack: No. And if he did, I wouldn’t share it with you. I cannot — i will not intervene, definitely not on your behalf.

    Diane: [ Scoffs ]

    Jack: Look, I supported kyle taking this job at marchetti because he needs to run something on his own. So I’m not about to tell him what to do.

    Diane: Alright. It’s probably for the best because if you did, you would probably tell him to not even consider helping me.

    Jack: This is between you and kyle.

    Summer: I’m glad that you’re excited about marchetti’s move to jabot because we have a proposition for you. We would like to bring you in to design a new line for marchetti.

    Chelsea: Wow. I-I wasn’t expecting that.

    Summer: That’s not the reaction I was expecting. I thought that you would jump at this opportunity.

    Chelsea: I-I-I love the opportunity. Um, it’s just I signed a contract to market my stuff exclusively at fenmore’s, so i don’t think I can.

    Kyle: We already ran it by lauren. She said she doesn’t mind you working on both lines.

    Chelsea: She’s agreed?

    Summer: 100%. So, we would call the line “chelsea lawson for marchetti.”

    Kyle: So we aren’t poaching you.

    Summer: Think of it more as you’re spreading your talents across fenmore’S.

    Chelsea: I love the sound of that. I mean, angelina — she is an icon. Those are huge stilettos to fill. When I heard she was retiring, you could have knocked me over with a feather.

    Kyle: [ Chuckles ]

    Summer: We think that you are the perfect person to lead marchetti into a new era. I love your work, the chances that you take. I want to see more.

    Chelsea: Wow, I’m — I’m thrilled and honored that you would trust me to work for this legacy brand.

    Kyle: Well, is that a yes? We want to go big with the news as soon as we can.

    Chelsea: I really want to give you an answer, but I have to talk to chloe. You know, she is my partner. But as far as I’m concerned… start chilling the champagne.

    [ Laughter ]

    Amanda: Yes, so, I just got back from seeing naya.

    Phyllis: Ah.

    Amanda: She had a stroke. The doctors think that it’s because of her a-fib, um, but she has lost movement in half of her body. She can’t speak. And it’s — it’s been heartbreaking seeing her like this.

    Phyllis: I am so sorry. I had no idea. I am so sorry. Can I do something?

    Amanda: No, that’s — you see, that’s the thing. There’s nothing that anyone can do. I went there with every intention to stay for a while, but they said that she’s gonna be in the hospital for a week at least, and they’re only allowing one visitor. So, imani’s dad is there, so he — he stayed.

    Phyllis: Okay. So, uh, what’s the prognosis? I mean…

    Amanda: It’s too soon. It’s too soon to tell. But we’re lucky. We have in-home care. We have in-home rehab.

    [ Sighs ] But this — this is just — it’s just gonna be such a long process. It’s gonna be months, not weeks. And now imani and I — we’re gonna have to juggle seeing my mother with all of the work at chancellor-winters, and I —

    [ Sighs ]

    Phyllis: I’m sorry. I mean, at least you got to see your mom.

    Amanda: Yeah. You’re right.

    Phyllis: Yeah.

    Amanda: And I’m really happy that imani encouraged me to go first. She really — she does understand. I lost so much time with her, and every moment — it really — it matters, you know?

    Phyllis: Yeah.

    Amanda: But now I’m gonna have to prepare imani for seeing our mother in this condition, and — I don’t know — I think that there’s a part of her that’s scared, you know?

    Phyllis: Yeah, sure, sure. I understand that. You have your hands full right now.

    Amanda: [ Sighs ] Yeah.

    Phyllis: Oh, I’m so sorry. You know, my problems are nothing in comparison. I’m sorry.

    Amanda: Phyllis, it’s not a competition.

    Phyllis: Well, I mean…

    [ Both laugh ] No. It’s not. Of course. Listen, um, it’s all about you, okay? It’s all about you right now. Um, what do you need from me?

    [ Chuckles ]

    Amanda: I’m okay. Really.

    Phyllis: Okay.

    Amanda: Devon — he — he has been by my side. I just — I don’t know what i would do without him.

    Phyllis: Yeah. That’s great. You’re so lucky. Really, you’re so lucky, having a supportive man by your side. Wow. I wish I understood something like that, you know? I wish I had done more to support that in my life, you know? Support us or him. I don’t know. What– whatever. I don’t know what I’m saying.

    Amanda: I think you’re saying you love jack.

    Why do dermatologists

    choose dove?

    Phyllis: It doesn’t matter whether, you know, I love or don’t love jack. It really doesn’t matter. It’s — eh. It’s — it’s done. It’s over.

    Amanda: What? That does not sound like the phyllis I know.

    Phyllis: I would like to introduce you to the new and improved phyllis, the one that doesn’t live in a fantasy regarding jack and phyllis. I mean — [ Chuckles ] Yeah. Eh, we’re not meant for each other. Well, we’re definitely not meant for each other with diane jenkins living in town. I mean, can you believe this woman, that she’s coming to town and thinks that we all owe her something? She absolutely infuriates me.

    Infuriates me.

    Amanda: You’re gonna need to rein it in, phyllis.

    Phyllis: [ Sighs ]

    Amanda: If you do anything out of revenge, jack is not going to like it. Okay, what you need to do right now — just keep the peace. Just like you said you were gonna do that for summer, right? Just do it for jack, too.

    Phyllis: Okay, well, you weren’t in the room. You didn’t see his face. You didn’t hear what he said to me, okay? He made it abundantly clear that I can’t control my destructive tendencies. You know what he also said? He said that I’m only happy when I’m chasing happiness.

    Amanda: Jack didn’t actually say that.

    Phyllis: Yeah, he actually said that, verbatim. Yeah. It’s too late for us.

    Amanda: Or maybe it’s too soon to say. Phyllis, you are gonna have to do the impossible. You’re gonna need to be patient. Because I don’t think that you can just take what jack said in a moment of hurt and let it determine the fate of your relationship. Just give it some time, and maybe you’ll — you’ll find your way back. You’ll recapture what you were so close to having again.

    [ Laughter ]

    Summer: Could you believe the look on chelsea’s face when i made her the offer?

    Jack: Kyle. Summer. Come on in.

    Diane: I really should go and get out of your way, let you get to work.

    Kyle: Wait, wait, wait. I’m — I’m glad we ran into you.

    Summer: No time like the present.

    Diane: Is everything alright?

    Kyle: Well, I talked to summer about your job request.

    Diane: Kyle, I — I — I know you have a lot on your plate, and I really don’t want to add to it.

    Kyle: Summer and I discussed it, and we would like to offer you a job in the P.R. Department of the new marchetti.

    Diane: [ Sighs ]

    Kyle: What’s that look about?

    Diane: I-I was just telling your father that I really regretted asking, that I know it wasn’t fair of me.

    Kyle: I probably should have given you a heads-up on this.

    Jack: You are the ceo of marchetti. You needn’t run your hiring decisions by me — unless you’re bringing her on as coo.

    Diane: Well, I certainly hope not.

    Kyle: Well, we want to set you up for success, so we’re gonna start you out slow.

    Summer: The reason why this position is opening up is that not everyone is coming over from italy.

    Kyle: And I know you know italian from your time in milan. So you could be a real asset for those employees who are relocating.

    Summer: We should warn you, though, this isn’t a high-level job. We want to make sure that you get your footing.

    Diane: And that I don’t mess up. I get it, and I’m grateful. I — I won’t let you down. I promise. Thank you. Thank you. And, summer, it’s — it’s not lost on me that this isn’t just coming from my son. I — I really appreciate your willingness to give me this opportunity. You know, before you two came in, I was just telling jack what an incredible day it’s been. I’ve spent time with harrison and then phyllis extended that olive branch and I didn’t think it could get any better. But it did.

    Elena: What’s wrong with my podcast idea?

    Nate: Nothing at all. But you’re the face of askmdnow, under contract with newman media.

    Elena: Which, yes, certainly it’s an obstacle, but it’s not insurmountable. That’s actually the reason why I’ve been thinking about this so much. Things at newman media have been so hectic, they keep taking askmdnow on and off of hiatus. And a podcast is a much more efficient way of reaching people these days. I also thought of another segment for caregivers, where the friends and family members of patients could ask questions about their diagnosis, about how to talk to doctors, about how to navigate the healthcare system.

    Devon: It’s a no-brainer idea for me.

    Nate: What about her contract?

    Devon: Well, I mean, I — I live with a pretty great lawyer who’s our chief counsel, so she can take care of her contract, I’m sure, when she’s back from visiting with her mom. If not her, imani can do it.

    Nate: Obstacles removed, with the exception of one. Are you sure you have the time to commit to this?

    Chloe: Okay, bye. I am sorry I am so late. I — I was dealing with ironing out some last-minute production snafus.

    Chelsea: Mm, anything I can help with?

    Chloe: No. Crisis averted, thanks to my masterful managing and coddling of egos.

    Chelsea: Well, that’s wonderful news because you are about to be faced with a new set of exciting challenges.

    Chloe: Why do I feel like you’re just sugarcoating telling me about some other fires that i need to put out?

    Chelsea: No fires. No fires. We have just been given a remarkable opportunity. It’s gonna make you want to cheer for joy. But try to keep it down to a low roar, and only dance on the tables for a couple seconds.

    Chloe: Okay. Uh, out with it.

    Chelsea: Now that the brand is going to be sold at fenmore’s, I have been asked to design for marchetti. Isn’t that incredible?

    Chloe: [ Sighs ]

    “The young and the restless”

    will continue.

    Chloe: Thank you so much.

    Chelsea: Um, maybe you didn’t hear what I just said?

    Chloe: Oh, I heard you. Marchetti. Interesting offer.

    Chelsea: Um, then why am i getting the impression that you don’t think this is an amazing opportunity?

    Chloe: Well, because it is my job to be honest and deal with the harsh realities of this industry, and it is your job to be creative and, oh, so fabulous. That was the point that gloria made, right?

    Chelsea: You’re oversimplifying and undercutting my business judgment yet again?

    Chloe: No, I’m just trying to be realistic about how time-consuming this would be.

    Chelsea: I can handle it.

    Chloe: Not to mention all of the work that you already have to do on your own brand. You are spreading yourself way too thin.

    Chelsea: I know what I am capable of better than anyone. What I don’t understand is why you would disapprove of this when lauren, your very own sister-in-law, supports it. This would be an amazing opportunity for everyone involved.

    Chloe: [ Sighs ]

    Diane: It means so much that I’ll be working for my son and daughter-in-law my first job back to town. And I won’t let you down. I promise I’ll prove my worth… after we all celebrate. Can I please invite you out?

    Summer: Why not? We haven’t had a chance to raise a glass to all of the great things that have been happening lately.

    Jack: You know what? You have a good time. I’ll hang out with harrison.

    Diane: Oh, he’s busy with mrs. Martinez.

    Summer: Come with us, jack.

    Diane: Yes. Don’t you want to raise a toast to kyle’s new adventures as ceo of marchetti?

    Summer: [ Chuckles ]

    Jack: Who am I to get in the way of a celebration? Let’s go.

    Kyle: Yes, that’s right.

    Diane: Let’s go!

    [ Laughter ]

    Devon: Well, I’m not gonna get in the middle of this, so…

    [ Cellphone ringing ] Actually…you know what? You guys can discuss whether or not you have time to take on a podcast, and I’m gonna take this call. Excuse me. Hello.

    Elena: Okay. When you asked if I have time to commit to this, you were really asking if our relationship does.

    Nate: Does it?

    Elena: We’ve both been so busy lately. And I barely see you. I miss you.

    Nate: I miss you, too.

    Elena: And I know I haven’t been very good at hiding my feelings about you leaving medicine and going into the business world. And with your new position, you can’t really get away much, like coming with me to my medical convention. But that’s why I thought, if i do this podcast, I’d be joining you on your adventure. I mean, I’d even be willing to take a step back from the clinic.

    Nate: Wow. This is everything I wanted.

    Elena: Good. Because I love the idea of being a part of this family venture and being able to support you in your new role. And if that means us spending more time together, then that’s a bonus for both of us.

    Devon: Hey. So, do we have a verdict?

    Elena: Yeah, well, I just have to tell you that… I am very excited to be a part of the team.

    Devon: Yeah?

    Elena: And I expect my chancellor-winters t-shirt.

    Devon: [ Laughs ] Nice! Well, welcome aboard.

    [ Chuckles ]

    Amanda: You know, you can keep rushing around the hotel, dealing with these nonexistent emergencies, but I think that’s also called avoidance.

    Phyllis: No, I’m not avoiding anything.

    Amanda: Mm. Mm.

    Phyllis: Mm. And here’s your sister. Sisters take precedence over friends, so… congratulations on the launch.

    Imani: Oh, thank you so much. I wish you could have made it to the party.

    Phyllis: Yeah, me too. Me too. By the way, I’m very sorry to hear about your mother.

    Imani: Thank you.

    Amanda: Thank you, phyllis. We’ll talk soon.

    Phyllis: Alright.

    Amanda: So, speaking of naya…

    Imani: [ Sighs ] I am so glad that you could go see her. Thank you for keeping me updated and looping me in on the calls with her doctors.

    Amanda: I was so happy to do it.

    Imani: It’s times like these I’m glad I’m not an only child anymore.

    Amanda: Well, your dad has been greatkeep, g me up to speed with everything.

    Imani: Um…what was it like seeing mom in the hospital like that? This is the sound of nature breathing.

    Amanda: I have to admit, seeing our mother in that hospital bed with all of the machines hooked up to her and her being so still, it almost broke me.

    Imani: [ Sighs ] But she was happy to see you.

    Amanda: It was a little hard to tell because she’s not communicating right now. But she is getting great care, okay? And your dad is taking such good care of her. He’s attending to everything that she needs. She’s really lucky to have you guys.

    Imani: I haven’t done a thing.

    Amanda: Come on. Imani, you doubled up on work so that I could go, I can be the first to see her.

    Imani: No, I mean I haven’t done anything for mom.

    Amanda: Well, now I am gonna take care of work so that you can go and be there with her in the hospital, okay?

    [ Sighs ] Listen, you know how she is, right? She is probably more worried about you than she is about herself. She is not gonna feel whole unless she knows that you’re okay. I’m sorry. I’m sorry if I frightened you, okay? She’s —

    Imani: Why would I be scared? Hmm?

    Amanda: Because the strongest woman that you know, the woman who raised you — she just had a stroke and she’s confined to a hospital bed and you are remembering how much you love her and you’re worried that you’re not gonna be able to spend as much time with her as you wanted to.

    [ Voice breaking ] And I’m sorry I can’t give you the answers that you want.

    Imani: Were you afraid to see her?

    Amanda: Of course I was. You know, I’m not gonna lie. It was difficult walking in there. But I’m so happy that I did. Seeing her in person — it made me feel so much better. I got to see how stable she was. I got to see her excellent medical team in action. You have to go. You have to go and you have to see our mother. And not just for her, but you need to do it for yourself because, imani, if, god forbid, something happens and you don’t get a chance to talk to her, I don’t think that you’re ever gonna forgive yourself.

    Chelsea: I am tired of you looking for problems where they don’t exist. It’s like your first instinct is always to say no. Creativity requires you to say yes.

    Chloe: I am a realist with a proven track record. And your creations are not made by forest animals and elves. The hard work, my work, starts when you finish a sketch. Yes, I may not be daydreaming designs, but I do know what it takes to make the sausage. And the ugly reality is that saying no is saying “yes,” yes to making sure that our existing obligations are fulfilled and that our line succeeds. Why would you turn down the chance to have more visibility, to really be able to make an impact?

    Chloe: It is only a good impact if the work is done and the clothes are made.

    Chelsea: Why do you always do this?

    Chloe: What am I doing?

    Chelsea: You’re managing me, handling me, keeping me quiet in a tiny little box because everyone knows I don’t know what’s good for me.

    Chloe: That’s not what I’m doing.

    Chelsea: Yeah, you know, every time we disagree, you go into babysitting mode. It has got to stop…now!

    Summer: I am very excited to sit down with chelsea to map out our vision for marchetti.

    Jack: You definitely have her locked in?

    Kyle: We made an offer.

    Summer: She just needs to discuss it with chloe.

    Kyle: You know, I was thinking, when we were talking about P.R. As reinvention, we’re building on a well-known italian luxury brand. And we want to make it accessible to our U.S. Market.

    Summer: Which our partnership with fenmore’s allows us to do that.

    Kyle: Well, and with summer’s creative genius…

    Summer: And kyle’s business acumen, we really can’t fail.

    Jack: The numbers don’t lie. It promises to be a profitable venture.

    Diane: And I couldn’t be happier to be part of such a talented team.

    Summer: Cheers.

    Kyle: Cheers.

    Summer: [ Laughs ]

    Diane: Cheers. There’s an invisible threat in your backyard

    Nate: Just the person i wanted to see.

    Imani: Oh, as a matter of fact, I wanted to talk to you, too. But you first.

    Nate: How long would it take to get elena out of her contract with newman media?

    Imani: Uh, why would I want to do that?

    Nate: I want to do a deal with her so that she can host a medical podcast for us.

    Imani: Um, I thought I heard something about her heading out of town.

    Nate: She is, for a conference in hawaii. That’s why I want to speed this along. I want her free of any newman obligations so she can sign contracts as soon as she gets back.

    Imani: Hmm. I’m not sure. You know, we have so many other things on our plate, and our team is already pretty swamped.

    Nate: Mm. That’s why it’s so good to have friends in high places.

    Imani: [ Chuckles ]

    Nate: Look, I need some help with this. Personal favor. And like you said, we should do for each other.

    Imani: It’s just —

    Nate: Truth is, devon’s been giving me a hard time about jumping the gun on the podcast announcement at the launch party, and elena’s idea might help me redeem myself.

    Imani: [ Chuckles ] Okay, for you, I’ll find a way.

    Nate: Thank you.

    Imani: Mm.

    Nate: By the time she gets back from hawaii, right?

    Imani: Uh, how long exactly will she be out of town?

    Chloe: Here I am, just trying to look out for my best friend, and all you can do is call me a micro-manager.

    Chelsea: I am the creative engine, and you — you are the brake that keeps us from moving forward.

    Chloe: Oh, yeah, you know what? Maybe I am the brake. And guess what. It keeps you from crashing and burning.

    Chelsea: Really?

    Chloe: And you know what? You are right about one thing. This has to stop because I am not going to sit here and allow you to insult and disparage me for trying to keep our business on time, on budget, and on track. Some people find value in that.

    [ Cellphone alarm sounds ]

    Chelsea: Oh, you know what? You should get that. You should get that. It may be another one of my fires you need to put out.

    Chloe: No, I have to go get bella — or, as you like to call it, micro-manage my daughter. Sorry, but we’re gonna have to fight about this later.

    Summer: Hi, mom.

    Kyle: Grab a seat.

    Phyllis: [ Clears throat ] Yeah, nothing. So, what’s going on here?

    Diane: Oh, we’re having a family celebration to toast the fact that summer and kyle have hired me at marchetti. Would you care to join us, now that we’ve declared a truce?

    Phyllis: Well, I’m here to see abby to thank her for taking care of the launch party.

    Jack: Yeah, we haven’t seen her.

    Summer: Actually, I’m glad that I ran into you because i wanted to talk to you about going over some ideas for hosting fashion shows at the grand phoenix.

    Diane: Oh, thinking ahead.

    Summer: If you’ll excuse us.

    Kyle: Of course.

    Diane: Wow. I’m impressed. A week ago, I would have expected phyllis to pour that champagne over my head. Maybe we can co-exist.

    Jack: [ Inhales deeply ]

    Summer: Mom?

    Phyllis: I’m okay.

    Summer: No, you’re not.

    Phyllis: Yeah, I’m fine, summer. I’m fine. You know what? I want to ask you a question. The job you offered me at marchetti — is that the same one that diane’s doing?

    Summer: Mom, no, not even close. I wanted you to be my head of marketing. What we offered diane is a junior-level P.R. Gig. Look, it was kyle’s idea, and i only agreed to it because I’m here to support kyle, just like you are here to support me, right?

    Phyllis: Yeah. Right. I will support you. I will support you because i love you. Yeah.

    Summer: I love you, too.

    [ Laughter ]

    Diane: Yeah, that was a good one.

    Kyle: [ Laughs ] Okay.

    Jack: That’s true.

    Diane: [ Laughs ]

    THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

    get rid of valentin as ceo of elq? Felicia: Any message from valentin? Sorry? You haven’t heard a word I said in the last 30 minutes. No, I did, yeah. You confronted ryan chamberlain. You told me three times. Oh. [ Clears throat ] Mm. Message received. I guess I’m still running on adrenaline from the experience. Your turn now. Tell me everything about your date with valentin. Spare no details. What’s this about you and my son? Hey, how was your juneteenth? Well, I spent most of it studying, but I did manage to come up for air and go to a prayer service

    and a barbecue. Okay. Well, I admire your time-management skills. Ha! But between you and me, I’m beat. But I can’t let on, or my nurses won’t fear me anymore. Your secret’s safe with me.

    [ Laughs ] You doing a little light reading? Not me. These are to ensure that you are feared for a long time to come, dr. Johnson. If you’ll just allow me to explain. Is your explanation gonna sound any better in here? Well, I’m trying to avoid brook lynn bursting it with another tirade. Oh, from what I can hear, she’s totally justified. But you said — i said we shouldn’t make any judgments until we heard all the facts. Now, what facts cause you to throw away your family’s legacy? How soon can you meet? I, uh, have an idea, but we’re gonna have to get creative. All right, I’ll meet you there. Sonny won’t see us coming. Leo: What are you doing to uncle sonny? Hey, willow. What happened with elq today?

    [ Sighs ] I really don’t want to be the go-between. I suggest you reach out to michael yourself. And if he doesn’t respond, that means he doesn’t want to discuss elq with you. Hey, sonny, I don’t know if now is the time to pressure willow. She’s not really feeling well. Why don’t we get an iced tea or something? I understand. I just — if something happened, I just want to know. I know. I can reach out to valentin. H-he’ll tell me what happened. Willow, if you’re not gonna let me take you to G.H., Then I insist on taking you home. Sasha, sasha. For the last time, I’m fine. Hey, hey, hey. Hey. I’m fine. You okay? Oh, my god. Willow! A towel! Lie her down! Elevate her legs. Willow! Call 911. Willow? Willow, can you hear me?


    Some of the quartermaines voted to remove valentin. Ne. Except ned. Ned? He sided with valentin against his own family? That doesn’t make any sense. And ned was leading the charge to force valentin out. Ultimately, he, uh, wasn’t happy with the — with the plan to merge elq and aurora. He felt that the role that michael and I offered him, I don’t know, was beneath him. But you and michael worked so hard to ensure elq returned to quartermaine control. I mean, doesn’t ned get that the merger is good for the company? I thought he would come around, you know? It was — it was bad judgment on our part. So ned betrayed his family to serve his own ego. Okay, but that doesn’t mean that valentin had enough votes to stay in control. Who turned? It’s — it’s nothing, buddy. I was just discussing a surprise for your uncle sonny with somebody. Brook lynn’s mad at my dad, and I heard her talking about it with granny tracy. Granny tracy. Um, you know, I don’t — I’m not sure that tracy likes to be called that. Why not? I guess it makes her feel old. I have to talk to my mom. Actually, I-I’d give them a — a minute, bud. Is my mom mad at my dad, too? Um… look, sometimes quartermaines get mad at each other, but that does not mean they don’t love each other. Then why do you fight? I guess it’s in our nature. Oh, like an instinct.

    [ Chuckles ] Yeah, I guess. We were — we were born to be mad at each other but still love each other. Okay. I’d like to cut up some apples for my horse, but I can’t do it alone. Want me to help you? Let’s go. Ah. You know michael and drew were trying to put me out to pasture. Siding with valentin was the only way I could stay in a position of power at the company. Your family’s company. Yes, my family’s company, where michael and drew would have sidelined me, okay, if this merger had gone through. So what was i supposed to do? You were– just stand back and let it happen? You were supposed to make a deal. Have you ever heard the word “compromise”? There was no compromising with drew and michael. They wanted me to do all the sacrificing, and they got everything they wanted. I’m not saying that they were right. I’m saying you have to look at the bigger picture. Which is? Is this really worth alienating yourself from all of your loved ones? Excuse me, but we’re having a private conversation. My apologies, anna. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. Didn’t you? No, I just heard my son’s name, and naturally it caught my attention. Father, this is a surprise. Yes, for everyone. Well, there are, uh, plenty of tables outside. Anna, felicia, nice to see you. Well, wait. I-I have an idea. Why don’t we make this a foursome? Dr. Obrecht: Her pulse is steady, her breathing normal. Did willow hit her head or sustained any injuries before she fell? Not in my presence. Nina, please ask the bartender for a glass of juice. Okay. What happened? Lay back and rest. Do you remember what happened? No. Got it. Drink up, my dear. Do you feel dizzy? Lightheaded? I’m fine. I’m — I’m fine. Willow doesn’t need emergency care, but she should be examined at the hospital. Does she need an ambulance? No, no, no, no. An ambulance won’t be necessary. She’s okay. Thanks for your help. Willow, I’m gonna take you to G.H. No, no, no, there’s really no need. I’m — willow, you — hey, you have to listen to — listen to the doctor, unless you, you know, you want to stay here while sasha calls for the ambulance. Fine. Fine. Uh, yeah, let’s get this over with. All right. Careful.

    [ Cellphone ringing ] Sasha? Everything okay? Willow fainted at the metro court pool. We’re taking her to G.H. Okay, I’m on my way.


    Anna and felicia don’t want us intruding on their lunch. Oh, why not? You and anna are friends. Very close friends, as I understand it. Felicia: Well, you know the old saying, victor — three’s company and four is a nightmare. All right, I tell you what, valentin. Why don’t, uh — why don’t you and I take a rain check? I’m sure you’d much rather catch up with your friends, anyway. You sure? Yes, of course. We can talk later. Business can wait. Ladies, always a pleasure. That’s my father — can’t stop making decisions for other people. Want me to leave? No, join us. If it’s all right with anna. Of course. I’d love to hear more about this business you have with your father. So once ned sided with valentin, the votes were split right down the middle, and we had a tiebreaker. Lucy.

    [ Scoffs ] Of course. Ugh! She voted with valentin. He remains ceo, and now ned is chairman of the board. So valentin promised ned a more important role in the company in exchange for his vote. What about the merger?

    [ Sighs ] The merger’s dead. I’m sorry. I know how badly you and michael wanted this to happen. It would only strengthen elq. I cannot believe ned is so blind. I’m not blameless here. I just assumed that ned would always side with the quartermaines. I mean, I — I should have done more to assure that. Oh, come on. No one saw this coming. Valentin did. He outmaneuvered us again. I mean, I would almost admire the guy if this wasn’t my family company. What does this mean for aurora? I hope willow’s okay. It’s me, liebchen. You don’t have to pretend to care for that woman. Aunt liesl, I am not a monster. Willow is wiley’s mother. Adoptive mother who’s denying you a relationship with your grandson. Yeah. It’s torture being kept from wiley. But sonny did remind me that one day wiley will be able to make his own decisions on who he spends time with. Hopefully michael and willow won’t totally brainwash him into hating me. And what will you do with yourself until that day comes? Aunt liesl, I have a whole life to throw myself into. You know? I do not lack distractions. And is one of those distractions a certain dimpled mafioso?

    [ Chuckles ] You’re so silly. And it almost sounds like you approve of me and sonny. I approve of you being happy. And if your happiness means being with a man who hates mein scott, I won’t make a fuss. At least not much of one.

    [ Laughs ] Hey, aunt liesl, you know I want your happiness, too, right? I know. Then why on earth did you say no to scott’s proposal? I took an mcat prep course at pcu. The instructor did a really good job of breaking down the harder subjects. Like physics? Oh, especially like physics.

    [ Laughs ] So I dug out the textbooks. I thought you could use them. Thank you. The entire G.H. Staff is pulling for you, epiphany. And I know dr. Robinson is helping you, but if you need anything, just say the word. We need help! What happened? Willow collapsed. No, the — the wheelchair is not necessary. I’m — I’m fine. Please, willow. You also collapsed three months ago. Because you weren’t eating. I-I’ve eaten today. It’s just stress. Well, let’s get you in an exam room and find out. Okay? Willow was out cold. What do you think it is? Tj a-and epiphany are gonna find out. Everything’s gonna be okay. You can’t know that. Bad things happen here.


    I mean, I know you worried about willow, but that seems like an overreaction. Every time I come here, something terrible happens. Willow’s mom dying. Losing my baby. Okay, listen, I-I’m sorry, you know? Look, I know you’ve been through a rough time. I’m sorry about that. But maybe it’s best for you to, you know, concentrate on putting your energy into supporting willow instead of thinking about what happened in the past. That’s not gonna —

    [ Doors slide open ] Hey. Where’s willow? Where is she? Bp is 80 over 50. Oh. Well, that’s pretty low, but I do feel much better. Any more fainting spells between now and the one three months ago? None. Okay. Any other episodes of weakness or — or dizziness? Uh, not really. Okay, do you want — do you want to be a bad patient or a good nurse? Come on. Four times… in the past three months. Some lightheadedness, but it quickly passed. I figured it was stress. Okay. Between nursing school, being a good mom, and everything else I have going on in my personal life, I feel like I’m juggling hundreds of balls in the air, too afraid to drop even one. Right, and, hey, that makes total sense. But, willow, this is your second time collapsing. I’m going to run some tests. I think stress might be a trigger, but I just — I don’t know if it’s the cause. How did you hear I turned down scott’s proposal? Well, maybe you shouldn’t have said no in the middle of a busy nail salon with lucy coe present. The blabbermouth must have told you

    why I refused scott’s proposal. She did. She said you didn’t want to be staid or settled. Now, just explain this to me. How would marrying scott make you feel tied down? I’m an independent woman. I don’t need a man to make my life complete. Of course you don’t, but I thought that scott made your life better. In many ways. Then why don’t you make him a permanent part of it? He proposed on a whim as a way to apologize for upsetting me. I deserve more. Well, what if scott proposed to you again under the right circumstances? Would you say yes? It’s not really business. My father’s resumed his mission to keep the cassadines close. Really? You were never interested in family bonding before. I’m not. I’m pretending, to keep an eye on victor. That was your suggestion, by the way. Yes, it was. Well, good luck with that. Thank you. Let’s say we change the subject. I’ll drink to that. Aren’t you glad that you ran into us? I mean, we’re an upgrade from victor, don’t you think? I certainly do.

    [ Chuckles ] Well, that’s my cue to get a refill. How you been? What, since you saw me two nights ago? I haven’t stopped thinking of you. Really? You think of me? Once or twice. You want to elaborate? I don’t think there’s anything else to say. I have thought this through, olivia. Yes, I am part of the quartermaine family. But you and brook lynn and leo are also my family, and I have to think about what’s best for our future. Ned, I don’t care about this company. I care about you and your relationships with your family and all the other quartermaines that voted to keep valentin out. Do you know how rare it is for all the quartermaines to come together on a common purpose? Now you are gonna be the enemy that everyone is rallying together against. Are you really okay with that? Michael and drew left me no choice. Yes, you had a choice, and you made the wrong one. I don’t think you realize how bad this is gonna get for you. I can handle whatever michael and drew throw at me. They are not your enemies. But your choices have made them your opponents. One day you are gonna need your family, and they might not be there for you. Why do I need them when I have you and brook lynn and leo? Honey, you really think your standing in this family doesn’t affect leo? Did you think about that? Or did you just not care? News of the elq vote got out pretty much as soon as it happened, as well as news of an angel investor trying to inflate the stock value, so shareholders left in droves. So aurora’s stock took a hit. Pretty big hit, yeah. A-and the shares I bought? I’m sorry, uh, carly. You likely took a very big hit as well. You have no idea. Look, you took a risk to help me and michael. I am going to help you. Yeah, I think it’s a little late for that. Well, I’m not gonna let you lose your house. My house? Well, I’m assuming that’s one of the assets. It’s bigger than that. I sold my half of the metro court.


    Is she conscious? Did she, uh, hurt herself? She’s conscious. She’s being examined by dr. Ashford. Yeah, michael, she walked in under her own power. And why are you involved? Did you — did you say something to upset her? You know what? I don’t — I don’t have time for this. I need to see willow. She’s in the room over there. Okay. Hey. Hi. You okay? I’m — I’m perfectly fine. Tj and epiphany or just being overly cautious because this is the second time I fainted in the past several months. I’m running tests to find an underlying cause. Just rest, and I’ll let you know as soon as the results are back. Nurse johnson? So who am i gonna believe? The doctor or the woman I love downplaying her health concerns? You know how doctors are — all doom and gloom. I should just record “I’m fine” into my phone and hold it up every time someone asks.

    [ Chuckles ] How’s willow? All I can say is that she’s alert and being treated. That’s promising, right? Keep thinking good thoughts. You want — can I get you some water? Some tea? I’m good. Thanks. And thanks for your help today. I’m sorry about michael. Brando told me things have been rocky between you two. Yeah, well, you know, family’s family. And willow’s the mother of my grandson. You always take good care of your family. You’ve been really good to brando. It — it meant a lot to him, I mean, to both of us that you were there for him when we lost liam. There’s — there’s nothing worse than losing a child. I never realized that you can lose what you love in an instant. But now I’m trying to be focused on being grateful for what I do have. Yeah, I mean, that’s what you gotta do, right? Yeah. I gotta go. You want to avoid a confrontation with michael? My son has, you know, enough to worry about right now. Well, I hope you know that even though you two aren’t getting along, michael knows that willow is in good hands with you. I hope so. All right. I’ll see ya. How about that second date? Yeah, sure. But we didn’t make plans. We can fix that. Okay. What did I miss? Valentin was about to tell me about his elq shareholders meeting this morning. Yeah, I’m still ceo of elq. Congratulations. I can only imagine how the quartermaines feel. Well, ned knows I’m good for business, and the others will come around or they won’T. Right. So now that your tenure has been renewed, I-I suppose that your schedule is gonna be quite full. I will always make time for you, darling. Are you free this week?

    [ Cellphone chimes ] Everything okay? What? I’m gonna have to call you. Uh, this is business that I can’t ignore. What the hell was that about? My relationship with scott is a new experience for me. He’s very different from cesar and victor. Because he’s not deranged? Love was always a war of wills with those two.

    [ Sighs ] You were obsessed with faison, and victor was obsessed with you. You know, obsession is not love, aunt liesl. With mein scott, it’S…fun.

    [ Chuckles ] Yeah. He’s a first for you with that. Just like sonny is a first for you. I’ve never seen you lose your heart so completely before. Aunt liesl, I’m not with sonny. We’re taking it slow. Any slower, and you’ll be standing still.

    [ Sighs ] You know, falling in love with mike, or… just falling for mike in nixon falls — that was unexpected. It was easy because we hit it off. It hasn’t been quite the same thing with sonny. He came with baggage, which he has since shed. Don’t make your relationships more complicated than they have to be. Well… my history with romance hasn’t been really smooth. And my relationships with cesar and victor have been positively tortured. I thought all relationships were supposed to be difficult. But it’s easy with scott, isn’t it?

    [ Chuckles ] Just like it is for you and sonny. If I’d run from my feelings for scott, I might still be with a narcissistic megalomaniac. Mm. You need a blanket? What I need is for you to stop worrying. Willow, I don’t think I haven’t noticed. Noticed what? How low-energy you’ve been lately. Gee, I wonder why that could be. Yeah, look, yes, you’re busy, you’re preoccupied, but so are thousands and thousands of other people. They don’t pass out twice in a matter of a few months. Wait. Don’t — don’t tell me you passed out more than twice? No, no, it’s not that. I-I…

    [ Sighs ] I kind of lied to tj. I actually don’t remember eating breakfast this morning. And you told him you did? Willow, come — well, I-I thought I’d been taking better care of myself since the last time I fainted, but I — I had so many things on my mind. It’s possible I just forgot a meal or two. You have to tell dr. Ashford. He’s just gonna say, “you need to get some more rest. There’s nothing to worry about.” So what’s the point? Okay.


    Hey. Hey. If there is anything that I can do, I… I am here to help you, okay? Even if it’s — even if it’s just someone to lean on. At least that’s something. Will you let me do that? I can let you do that. Of course I care. I would never do anything to hurt leo, or you. Well, guess what, ned? You did. You just said that you didn’t

    care about this company. I don’T. I care about our marriage. And you kept me out of the loop. What I ran into valentin and you in the stable the other day, w-were the two of you there plotting about all of this? No, no. Valentin was there to try to convince me to vote with him, but I hadn’t made up my mind yet.

    [ Sighs ] It didn’t occur to you to confide in me? How do you think that makes me feel, ned? I’m your wife. Even when we disagree about things, I-I — I’m still on your side. You didn’t think you could trust me? It wasn’t about trust. Well, then what was it about? We made a promise. You said you were gonna keep me in the loop. After everything that led to our separation, I mean… you promised that we were gonna be a team, and you kept me in the dark, and that is not what a teammate does. We renewed our marriage vows because I really thought that you had changed for the better. If I’d realized how this would make you feel, I would have told you everything. You know what really scares me? Is that you didn’t even realize it. Leo. Honey, what’s the matter? Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself? I messed up. That was so abrupt. Valentin’s usually smoother than that. Anna, I can’t figure out what was weirder — the part where he took off without making a plan with you, or the part where he’s having lunch with victor. Yes, they’re equally weird. Weird. You never did tell me about your date with him. We had a lovely time. Details, please. Yeah, okay. So he took me to a double feature at a drive-in. We saw “notorious” and “casablanca.” Ah! Espionage and intrigue. You must have felt right at home.

    [ Chuckles ] Yeah, we kind of did.

    [ Laughs ] Please tell me you made out in the front seat and missed half the movie. I’m not gonna tell you that.

    [ Laughs ] I’ll take that as a yes. But you did agree to make other plans, right? Yeah. But as you witnessed, you know, we didn’t firm up those plans or… well, valentin did just solidify his position as ceo of elq, and that company is never without its drama. Sure, but my gut tells me that something else besides elq is going on. What are you doing here? I thought vampires burst into flame when touched by daylight.

    [ Chuckles ] Oh, my dear liesl, please promise me you’ll never lose that wonderful sense of humor. As for what I’m doing here, well, I’m, uh, early for a business meeting, so I thought I’d drop by the pool and relax for a while. Nina I can handle victor. Enjoy yourself. Thank you. Listen, you hurt a hair on my aunt liesl’s head — oh, I promise. I’ll leave aunt liesl as pristine as I found her. I didn’t invite you to join me. I heard a rumor that your ambulance chaser proposed to you and you turned him down. And this is your business because? Because it signals to me that I wasn’t wrong to hold out hope all this time. There’s still a chance that you and i could be together. So willow is resting comfortably, and, uh, tj, um… ran some, you know, tests and is waiting for the results. Okay, well, I’ll keep my fingers crossed that willow’s okay. Right. Did you see michael? Can we, uh… yeah, yeah. He wasn’t too happy to see me. Well, you know what? If you weren’t there to — to catch willow, she could have been seriously injured. Michael should be grateful that you were there. Hey, listen. Can we not talk about michael, just for one second? Okay. What do you want to talk about? Can we just talk about us? Okay, reggie, cut to the chase. What are my options? I’ll give you guys some privacy. No, no, no, no. Stay. I want drew to hear this. Okay. Stillwater venture group is exercising their option to sell your half of the hotel. Okay, well, I-I have 30 days to raise the money. Carly, you could sell off all your investments. It wouldn’t be enough. Tell me what happened after I left the house.

    [ Sighs ] Things got ugly. Did ned try to justify voting with valentin? No, you know ned. He just came out with the same old excuses.

    [ Sighs ] It’s just business. It was best for his family. Yeah. Yeah, don’t worry. Drew and I are gonna come up with a strategy to turn things around. Hey, you look cold. I’ll get you a blanket, okay?

    [ Sighs ]

    [ Door opens ] Willow? Hey. Were you feeling dizzy again? No, no. I was just resting my eyes. Okay. Any news from the lab? I got the results back from one of your tests.


    I mean, there’s gotta be something carly can do to hold onto the metro court. You don’t have the capital to buy back your half. Okay, so then we raise the money. Yeah. We have 30 days. Stillwater doesn’t have to wait the full 30 days. If you can’t demonstrate solvency — and you cannot — they have the option to sell as soon as they find a buyer. So I’m gonna lose the metro court? I went to feed comet. Yeah? Michael helped me cut the apples up for him. And did michael help you feed comet? No? Comet looked like he wanted to be brushed, but no one was around to help, so I got a stool, and I fell. Oh. We obviously need to hire a new stable manager as soon as possible. Okay, well, but, honey, why didn’t you come and get me and ned? ‘Cause you were mad at dad, and I didn’t want to bother you. Oh, honey. You would never be bothering us. You can always come get ned or I. Hey, it doesn’t matter what you may think is going on between your mom and me. You come first, okay? You — we’ll always make time to help you. Yes. We are a family, honey. We are quartermaines, and quartermaines stick together. Even when you’re mad? Even when we’re mad. How many stars are in the universe, victor? Billions. And those are the odds of my ever getting back together with you.

    [ Chuckling ] Oh, come now, my darling. In your heart of hearts, you know this blustering mr. Baldwin could never satisfy you. But he does. You may believe he makes you happy now, but you’re a woman of the world. You have degrees in academic fields this courtroom clown can’t even pronounce. That’s why you turned him down. You’re leagues ahead of him. Leave, before I make you exit off the roof.

    [ Sighs ] You can deny it all you want. But I know you’ll always carry a torch for me, as I for you. We belong together. All right. Why do you want to talk about us? M-maybe talk isn’t the right word.

    [ Chuckling ] Okay. What do you have in mind? Hey… valentin got a text the other night when we were on our date, and he reacted exactly the same way. He was so flustered. Interesting. Yeah. Maybe it’s nothing. What? Don’t downplay me, anna devane. You have good instincts. You know it’s probably something. Is that a pep talk? I’m just validating your instincts. And whatever valentin is up to, it has nothing to do with his feelings for you. Why do you say that? I could see it in his face just now. He’s crazy about you.

    [ Sighs ] Oh, god. I’m crazy about him, too. I really am. But I just can’t ignore the fact that he brings a lot of complications with him. Victor? Yeah. And as long as valentin’s in my life, so is his father. And that’s the man I think is responsible for murdering luke. You and me both. But valentin is not his father. But family ties are hard to break. Long time no see. Hmm. My apologies for a change in location, but we couldn’t very well discuss our business in front of anna devane and felicia scorpio. Wouldn’t do to have them catch on to our plans. Michael. How’s willow? Uh, you know willow. She says she’s fine, but… hey, can you tell me anything more about her collapse? She didn’t look well at the pool. She was upset about what happened at the quartermaines’. The next thing I knew, she passed out. Yeah, well, thank you. Thank you for being there for her. Actually, it was sonny who caught her before she hit the ground. He brought her into the hospital. He was very worried about her. Um…

    [ Clears throat ] Did she, uh, tell you anything more about how she’s been feeling or… she insists that she ate. Yeah, well, she lied. She told me she doesn’t remember if she did or not. That’s not good. The more willow tries

    not to worry you, the more worried you get. Exactly. And this is the second time that she’s collapsed. I’m trying not to get, you know, too dark about it, but… it’s hard. Yeah. I mean, what if something is really wrong with her? Don’ t make me wait.What did the test result say? Well, I can’t make a definitive diagnosis until all of your results are back, but this could explain why you fainted. Is it serious? In a good way. You’re pregnant.
