Summer: Mom, come on. Don’t run away. Please just talk to me. You just admitted that you screwed things up with jack.

Phyllis: Okay, listen, keep your voice down.

Summer: Okay. [ Scoffs ] I mean, what did you mean by that, though? You were super optimistic about where things were headed with you guys, and then the second kyle and I walked in, it was obvious something was wrong. And now look at you. You’re terrible at hiding your feelings. You’re scaring me, so please just tell me what’s going on.

Phyllis: What — hey, hey. Amanda’s here, okay? I have to get to work.

Summer: Mom.

Phyllis: I have to get to work. There’s a big chancellor-winters launch party. I have to set it up. People are waiting for me in the ballroom, okay? We’ll talk later. Shh.

Amanda: Is everything alright?

Jack: Once they give you a real timetable, then get back to me. Alright, thanks.

Kyle: I know you said everything’s fine, but what did you mean when you called phyllis too predictable? What’s going on with you guys?

Jack: No offense, son, this is really none of your business.

Kyle: We are talking about my mother-in-law.

Jack: Yeah, all the more reason to change the subject. Look, phyllis and I had a minor…disagreement. We will find our way through this.

Kyle: You said you were taking things slow, testing the waters, but I’m getting the feeling you blew right past the casual phase.

Jack: What do you mean by that?

Kyle: Whatever summer and i interrupted earlier was more than just a little spat. Dad, did your night at phyllis’ turn into something more serious? Are you back together?

Jack: Believe me, phyllis and I were not — are not together in any meaningful sense.

Kyle: Okay, then what went sideways? The other morning when you got home, you were so happy, and i know you were questioning phyllis’ timing, but I figured that was just your nerves talking, not a real thing. Was I wrong? Did something else happen?

Allie: Traci, hi.

Traci: Well, hello.

Allie: Hi. Would you care to join us?

Diane: Yes, please do.

Traci: Sure. I — sure. Why not?

[ Chuckles ] Allie, I am not running into you very much at the house. I wonder if we’re just keeping different schedules. I’m kind of a night owl.

Allie: And I’m kind of an early bird. I like to go out for early runs.

Traci: Oh.

Allie: By the way, I have really enjoyed exploring genoa city.

Traci: Well, how are you finding it so far?

Allie: Truthfully, I’m kind of falling in love with the place. I’ve already asked jack if i could stay a little bit longer.

Traci: Well, that is just wonderful. I’m so happy to hear it.

Diane: Me too. And in case you haven’t heard, I’m thinking of sticking around myself.

Victoria: The problem with going away on vacation…

Nikki: Hmm. A working vacation anyway. But it sure was nice to have a change of scenery.

Victoria: The spa that you chose was absolutely fabulous. Thank you for arranging such an elegant treat for us.

Nikki: Oh, I’m so glad you enjoyed it, darling.

Victoria: I did, and i appreciate also that you agreed to come home early so that we could make it to the finance meeting.

Nikki: Yeah, it — it was good that we were there in person. I much prefer it to video calls.

Victoria: I do, too.

Nikki: But, you know, the jet lag is gonna start to set in, so I think we ought to get you home to rest, especially with your flare-up of your accident.

Victoria: Mom, I’m not the least bit tired. I’d actually like to review the redlines on the singapore deal. I’d like to be able to get those contracts out by next week. I know it’s probably gonna take me a while, so if you want to go home, feel free to — is there something wrong?

Nikki: I don’t know. You tell me. You were quiet at the spa, quiet on the jet. In fact, you haven’t talked to me about anything except work ever since we left for switzerland. Honey, I just need to know — did it work? Were you able to get ashland out of your system?

[ Knock on door ]

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Ashland locke?

Ashland: Yeah.

This is for you.

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] Okay, this is a freezer, not a time capsule.

Amanda: You two seem upset, so…

Phyllis: No, no, no. It’s nothing. Jack and I, we just had a little argument. No big deal. I can fix it before anybody knows the long, boring story. But you’re here to discuss the launch party, right?

Amanda: Yeah, I am, but, you know, everybody, they’re in the ballroom. They’re checking out the space. They’re talking logistics, so I’ll just let you stay here. We — I can meet you there.

Phyllis: No, no, no, no. No, it’s all good. It’s all good. Okay? You — I’m fine, summer. I overreacted. You know, I do that. Okay? No big deal, but I need to get to work. I need to discuss this party. So we’ll talk later. I’m gonna sign a couple things, then we’ll go.

Jack: I meant what I said. Whatever I’m dealing with in my personal life is nothing for you to be concerned about. Right now I would rather be talking about jabot’s purchase of marchetti.

Kyle: Are you rethinking your position?

Jack: I looked over your proposal very carefully. I did my own due diligence. Played with the numbers a bit. And despite my early reservations, I think it’s the right move for us.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ] This is great news! And summer’s gonna be just as thrilled.

Jack: Well, both of you did excellent work.

Kyle: Well, of course, now i have to ask, you aren’t doing this just to get us back here? I know you had your concerns about the acquisition.

Jack: I think you know me better than that. I learned a long time ago not to let emotions interfere with my decisions. No, I didn’t want to buy another fashion house, since we just exited the fashion business, but when I looked things over a little more carefully, i realized marchetti still is a powerful brand, regardless how messy their books are.

Kyle: That’ll help with the price, for sure, and make the deal more attractive.

Jack: And I will admit, the best part of the whole thing is that you, summer, and harrison will be moving back home, and i carefully kept that consideration away from my financial analysis.

Kyle: So? Do we have a deal?

Jack: No, well, you’re gonna have to run it by the board first. They’re gonna have to approve. But I will get that first meeting started and help you keep moving things forward.

Kyle: Dad, just thank you. I couldn’t be more pleased. And I promise — promise to wow the board.

Jack: I have no doubt that you’ll be successful.

Kyle: I mean, so much has changed so fast. I — summer and I, we love living in milan with harrison, but it’s been nice being around family again. There’s really nothing like it.

Jack: Yeah. The abbott house is starting to feel like a home again.

Traci: I can’t tell you how great it is to have so many members of the family all living under the same roof again.

Allie: It’s definitely a little strange to be in such a big, busy house — in a good way. I grew up as an only child, so I’m not used to having so many people around everywhere I turn.

Traci: Is this overwhelming for you? Do you need some more privacy?

Allie: Oh, no, actually, I’m really enjoying it.

Traci: Good.

Allie: I’ve been hanging out a ton with harrison, who is just so adorable, and then of course there’s summer, who’s been incredibly welcoming. As all of you guys have. I’m very grateful.

Diane: Allie, do you miss la at all? For me, I always felt like a transplant, but for you, it’s — it’s home.

Allie: It is. But when I think of la now, all I think of is my dad. And I think it’s a good idea to stay away from california for a little bit longer.

Traci: Well, sweetie, you’re grieving. I know what that feels like.

Allie: Yeah, but, traci, i don’t want to overstay my welcome. I finished school and I have my master’s now. And it’s time to start thinking about the rest of my life.

Diane: Oh, that’s a daunting thought.

[ Chuckles ]

Traci: If I might offer just a word of advice, take your time deciding what you want to do next. Stay and enjoy the hustle and bustle of our house as long as you want to.

Allie: That is so kind of you, traci. I appreciate that.

Traci: Well, it’s lovely having you. I hope that you’ll stay a good long time.

Diane: Jack must be over the moon with you and kyle and that cute little harrison all under one roof.

Traci: Yes. We’re all really grateful to have allie in our lives, diane.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Lash sensational sky high

Phyllis: Alright, I just have a couple things to take care of before we go into the ballroom.

Amanda: You’re not fooling anyone, you know.

Phyllis: What are you talking about?

Amanda: I understand you not wanting to worry summer, but, you know, everyone in the ballroom, they have a lot to keep them busy for a little while, so why don’t you talk to me? Why don’t you tell me what happened with jack?

Phyllis: Um, okay. Jack and I, we’ve been getting along great. Everything’s going great. And then diane came to town and goaded me into something that I shouldn’t have done.

Amanda: What did you do exactly?

Phyllis: I engaged in “pda” with jack just to stick it to diane. And then we argued about it here. Jack walked in, he overheard everything.

Amanda: Okay, phyllis, this sounds really bad.

Phyllis: Yeah. Yeah, it’s bad.

Amanda: Didn’t I ask you if that’s what you were doing? And I believe you said that that was not your intention at all, that the timing was coincidental.

Phyllis: I lied to you. I lied to myself. Really. That woman, I mean, I don’t think I understand to the extent of how she gets to me, amanda. Seriously, it’s like all of these old habits are coming back, and it scares me. Honestly. I mean, she knows how to take any little insecurity that i might have, and she knows how to exploit it. I thought all of that was behind me.

Amanda: Clearly it’s not.

Phyllis: I mean, honestly, i didn’t want to hurt jack, and what happened between the two of us, I mean…

[ Sighs ] It felt good. It felt good to stick it to diane. It felt good to throw it in her face. But then he was standing there and the look on his face, he was so hurt.

Amanda: As much as I hate to say it, this does not sound good.

Phyllis: It’s the worst.

Amanda: Yeah. Phyllis, you can talk to him. You can convince him that you didn’t mean it. Right?

Phyllis: I don’t know. I’ll try. Honestly, I just — I feel horrible about doing that to him. I detest diane jenkins. I detest that woman.

Diane: What do you think the future might hold for you, allie? What kind of career are you interested in?

Allie: Well, my degree is in chemical engineering, but I have no idea how I want to apply it.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] I see.

Allie: Yeah, I thought I was headed down a very specific path in la, but now I am totally rethinking things.

Traci: Would you like to tour the lab at jabot? After all, that’s where ashley started as a chemist.

Allie: Yes, we had talked about that. She is in a different field of study than mine, but I’d love to learn more. Finding that out, that we had that in common, was a really nice surprise.

Diane: I can imagine.

Traci: And, of course, that’s where keemo was a chemist.

Allie: That’s right, jack told me that, that they had worked together. And that’s also another reason why I wanted to stay longer was to learn more about the family I didn’t know I had and the dad I thought I knew.

Victoria: You know, on second thought, I do feel jet lag setting in. Let’s not have this conversation right now.

Nikki: Well, darling, before we left, you were very honest about your feelings for ashland. You said that you couldn’t just stop loving him on a dime. And then you agreed to this trip to get some distance, to start making the emotional break. I’m just saying that you can be honest now, too. Did it work? I’m not going to judge you.

Victoria: There’s nothing to judge.

Nikki: Victoria —

Victoria: Look. I did some thinking in europe.

Nikki: And what did you conclude?

Victoria: That I have been running away from my feelings because they’re messy and they are complicated and they’re confusing. But I can’t escape them, mom. It doesn’t work that way. I have to face all of the sadness and the pain and the humiliation and whatever else is there, and I have to — have to learn to live with it. And I’ve accepted that. But the rest of you haven’T.

Nikki: The rest of who?

Victoria: The family. But you and dad especially. You all think you know better than I do what I need and you don’t trust me to sort this out on my own. You think I’m gonna do something wrong and that you’re gonna have to step in and save me from myself, and I’m sorry, but i feel like I’m being micro-managed right now. So that’s why I’ve decided I’m not gonna talk this through with anyone. Not even you.

Summer: Hey, guys.

Kyle: Hey, babe. Dad and I were just going over my presentation. You’re welcome to sit in, if you’d like.

Jack: You know what? You seem to have the framework. I’m sure you can work it all out. I got an errand I’ve got to run, so you can get to it. Please excuse me.

Summer: Well, that was abrupt.

Kyle: Yeah, I’ve got some news I want to share. Don’t worry, it’s good, but first, did you catch up with your mom? Is phyllis okay?

Summer: I can’t tell. She was acting very weird, even for her.

Kyle: Weird how?

Summer: She admitted that she screwed things up with jack somehow, and then she totally backpedaled.

Kyle: Yeah, dad’s upset, too. Not that I can get him to talk about it.

Summer: [ Sighs ] There is definitely something going on between our parents. If you’ve been living with heart disease,

[ Telephone rings ]

Victor: Yes. Alright, send him in.

Ashland: You’re behind this, aren’t you?

Victor: What’s that?

Ashland: This restraining order keeping me from seeing harrison. You pulled some strings with the judge or maybe had your lackey michael baldwin do it for you. Don’t deny it.

Victor: Why would I deny that? The boy needs protection from you.

Ashland: This is a farce. I’ve done nothing to deserve this over-the-top reaction.

Victor: This a judge’s order. You best not violate it. Otherwise, you’ll end up in jail. Come to think of it, why don’t you violate it? We’ll all enjoy seeing you behind bars.

Summer: It’s kind of bewildering. I thought mom and jack were doing so well. She was so happy that things were finally progressing. What is it? Do you know something different?

Kyle: When I talked to my dad, I got the impression he was just playing it more cautious.

Summer: He doesn’t want to be with my mom?

Kyle: No. No, no, no. That’s not it. Just that he’s concerned about getting hurt again.

Summer: [ Sighs ] I shouldn’t have let mom brush me off. I want to get to the bottom of what they argued about, see if I can help somehow.

Kyle: I think the best way for us to help is by staying out of it. They’re adults. So are we. We shouldn’t be meddling in their love life.

Summer: But if they need our support…

Kyle: My dad made it clear he didn’t want me worrying. Let him handle it.

Summer: That’s basically what my mom said, but —

Kyle: No, no “buts.” I think that’s exactly what we should let them do.

Summer: [ Sighs ]

Amanda: I think you need to stop, okay? You need to stop blaming diane. You need to start taking responsibility for what you did. Okay? You made a mistake. Own it. But don’t let that stop you. Fight.

Phyllis: Fight.

Amanda: Fight.

Phyllis: Yes. I got that. I went to jack’s and I felt bad. I really did. There was so much pain on his face. I really betrayed him. I mean, I… I’m doing everything I swore i wouldn’t do.

Amanda: I know, I know.

Phyllis: I mean, I hesitated. I-I really did. I hesitated to get back together with him, and… and I — I said I wouldn’t revert to my old ways, and — and he said he wouldn’t tolerate it. Diane! Oh, but it is diane, amanda. Diane came back from the dead. I mean, what am I to do? I want to be in a great, loving relationship, but it’s diane! It’s diane who is making me do this. Diane is making me revert to my old ways. Diane is bringing me down to her level. Diane is doing this.

[ Sighs ]

Amanda: Phyllis, the thing about trying to change, it’s a process. It’s not an event. So you can’t help but backslide. Okay? We need to look at this as a momentary slip, not as some proof that you are beyond redemption, okay?

Phyllis: Okay.

Amanda: Okay, good. So tell me, where did you leave things with jack?

Phyllis: Uh, I went to his house, we argued. Kyle and summer walked in.

Amanda: Oh, I guess that’s why summer was here.

Phyllis: Yeah, yeah, yeah. She followed me here. She wanted answers. She knew something was up.

Amanda: You’re gonna — you’re gonna try and fix things with jack, though, right? Phyllis. After everything you and jack have been through, you — you’ve taken so long to get to this point. Don’t you think that it’s worth it to do whatever it takes to hold it together? We do it every night.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Diane: I admire anyone who goes into science. There are so many advances happening so quickly, it must be a challenge keeping up with it all.

Allie: Well, it helps being organized and, of course, staying on top of the professional journals. Noah.

Noah: Hey, there.

Allie: Hey. How’s it going?

Noah: Pretty good.

Traci: Hey, noah, you’re looking well.

Noah: Thank you, traci. You too.

Allie: Noah, this is diane. She — she bought my father’s house in la.

Noah: Yes, kyle’s mom. I heard you were back in town. I’m noah newman.

Diane: Oh, of course. It’s good to see you.

Noah: Well, I’m glad you stuck around. We never got a chance to talk about that episode of “the grinning soul.” Did you listen to it yet?

Allie: Of course I did.

Traci: Oh, I’m a big fan. I — what was the most recent episode about?

Allie: Ambition and how to chart your own course for a successful career.

Noah: No. No, that’s not what it was about at all.

Allie: Wait, what?

Noah: It was about how following your bliss is the clearest path to success.

Allie: Excuse me? Wrong.

Noah: Are we not listening to the same podcast?

Allie: Following your bliss? That was nowhere in the podcast.

Noah: Okay, so the guy might have worded it a little bit differently, but that was the general gist of the episode. Ambition’s not enough. You have to truly love what you’re doing. Otherwise, why even bother?

Diane: It is so interesting how you heard such different things from it. I’ll have to listen myself.

Allie: No, you know, ignore noah. He obviously wasn’t paying close attention. Probably doodling.

Noah: Hey, I can multi-task.

Traci: Okay, okay, okay.

Allie: If you say so.

Traci: Why don’t you two go and settle this somewhere else? Go sit down, have a chat. Diane and I have some things to catch up on ourselves.

Allie: Alright.

Diane: Thank you for keeping me company, allie.

Allie: Of course. I enjoyed our conversation.

Diane: Oh, is enjoyed the right word?

Allie: You gave me a lot to think about — how’s that? And with that said, I am gonna follow my bliss for a refill at the counter.

Noah: Oh, nicely done. Yeah.

Allie: I’ll see you at home later.

Traci: Okay.

[ Chuckles ]

Kyle: We’d both like to see our folks get back together, but we need to let them figure this out on their own. Besides, you and I are about to get extremely busy.

Summer: Because of the news that you mentioned?

Kyle: My dad reviewed the materials we gave him, and he reversed course. He thinks it’s a good idea for jabot to buy marchetti.

Summer: [ Laughs ] Oh, god, we did it! We’re coming home!

Kyle: Yes, we are.

Summer: Oh, my god. This is amazing. My heart is racing. I was starting to get worried that his reservations were too strong and that we were gonna have to scrap the whole thing.

Kyle: We still have to pitch it to the board, so it’s not a done deal.

Summer: At least it’s a start.

Kyle: Yeah, my dad and I were going over my presentation. He’s trying to set up a meeting for tomorrow morning, so I’m probably looking at an all-nighter.

Summer: Nah, I predict that you’re already prepared to nail it. You’ll get your beauty sleep.

Kyle: We’ll see.

Summer: God, this is going to really energize jabot.

Kyle: And who better to convince the board of what a coup it’ll be to buy marchetti than you?

Summer: Could it be true? We’re really coming home? I’ve tried so hard not to get my hopes up.

Kyle: It’s true if we want it to be.

Summer: Okay, then let’s make it happen.

Kyle: I know when you first came up with the idea, you were only thinking about the positives — being around the abbotts and the newmans again. You didn’t factor in my mother or ashland.

Summer: This is our home. Yours and mine. It’s where I want to be and where I want to raise harrison.

Kyle: It’ll be good to have harrison around a strong, loving family again.

Summer: Especially his doting grandfather. This is gonna make your dad so happy.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Kyle: [ Sighs ] Ashland’s been served. Restraining order’s in effect.

Summer: [ Sighs ] It’s official. Thank god.

Kyle: I hope that’s the last we’ve seen of the guy… and didn’t just pour gasoline on a fire.

Ashland: I don’t know why I’m surprised. You’re just as ruthless as everyone has always said you are.

Victor: I warned you not to cross me or my family. You ignored the warning. So now you got to suffer the consequences, don’t you?

Ashland: Victor, my mistakes are old ones. A plan set in motion before i was changed by victoria’s love.

Victor: Will you please stop that sentimental crap with me?

Ashland: I know you’ve been in this place where I am right now — needing forgiveness for something you’ve done and lived to regret. Why don’t I deserve that same opportunity?

Victor: You don’t deserve forgiveness. And you’re not sorry. You don’t understand the meaning of the word remorse, do you? Now you’re out of options. You’re desperate. If I didn’t have such disdain for you, I’d almost feel sorry for you.

Ashland: Victor, if I could just make you understand how sorry I am.

Victor: You’re not sorry?! I know what you were up to pretty well from the beginning. You ensnared my daughter. You made her fall in love with you. You married her. That big wedding in tuscany! You married her because you wanted to enlarge your corporation, your empire. And now you want to use that innocent little boy as a reason to stay in town? Ain’t gonna happen! I won’t allow it. Kyle and summer won’t allow it. The courts won’t allow it, so take your money I gave you — $500 million — and get the hell out of town! So what’s going on?

Diane: So, jack’s granddaughter and noah newman. Hmm. Think there’s something budding there?

Traci: I have no idea. I know that allie is very quiet at the house, and noah seems to have found a whole new side of her.

Diane: It appears so. She’s really cute with him.

Traci: I don’t know her very well yet, but my impression is that she is an intelligent and thoughtful young woman.

Diane: I didn’t really know her either when I first started trying to bring her and jack together, but as soon as I met allie, I knew it would be good for both of them.

Traci: I have already praised you for that, diane. Am I gonna have to continue thanking you over and over?

[ Chuckles ]

Diane: Fair enough. Well, allie is also aware that i had my own agenda, and in fact, I just apologized to her and owned up to it.

Traci: Wow. I’m impressed. Was she?

Diane: Uh…she understood and accepted why I did what i did. But she didn’t pull any punches.

Traci: Good. I’m glad to hear she’s holding her own. I’m really enjoying getting to know her better.

Diane: Yeah, it appears you two have a lovely connection. I really like seeing that.

Traci: [ Laughs ] Oh, brother.

Diane: What, too much?

Traci: Too much? Diane, I remembered that you had a little bit more finesse.

[ Laughs ] Listen, I will give you this. You’re doing all the right things. Keep it up.

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Noah: I can speak from personal experience — any time I’ve done a job to please other people, it’s been a disaster. But when I started pursuing my art, doors started to open.

Allie: Yeah, but you’re a newman. Doors open for you.

Noah: Yeah, but being a newman opens up doors in the business world, and that’s where I was the least happy.

Allie: But most people don’t have the luxury to choose happiness over a steady paycheck.

Noah: Yeah, that’s true.

Allie: I was raised to chart my own success, fight for my own career, and that’s what I took away from the podcast. The idea is that you set a goal and then you make a plan for it and you go after it. Mindfully, of course.

Noah: Okay, so now that you’re out in the real world, what goals are you setting for yourself?

Allie: I have no clue. And that’s pretty freaky. That’s also the reason why I’ve not gone back to california and why I’ve just been hanging out, drifting a little. It is the first time in my life where I don’t know what’s coming next. And, um…I worked hard for my master’S. I assumed I would have a job by now and be happily working. But then my dad died. And, um…and then i found out I had a whole other family that I never knew I had, and that threw everything off course.

[ Chuckles ] So now I am rethinking everything — what job I should have, where it should be.

Ashland: You don’t believe I’m redeemable. And I can’t convince you otherwise. So I give up — on that front, at least. But know this, victor — your daughter still loves me. We still have a bond. Victoria has not been able to give that up. So the more you treat her like a child, the more you try to tell her what to think or how to feel or how to run her life, the more she is going to resent you for driving me away, and then you will have your own consequences to deal with.

Victor: You’re pressing your luck. We’ll be fine. Now take your $500 million and get the hell out of here. You’ll be alone somewhere. Now get out. Alice loves the scent of gain so much,

Noah: You got some big decisions ahead of you.

Allie: Yes, I do.

Noah: Well, believe it or not, I sympathize.

Allie: Why wouldn’t I believe you?

Noah: It’s just a figure of speech.

Allie: [ Laughs ]

Noah: Anyway, I’ve picked up my life and moved before. It’s not easy. But now you got me thinking.

Allie: What?

Noah: I don’t know, maybe it’s time for you to jump over to the dark, you know, follow the non-linear path.

Allie: No, no, no way. Right after this, I’m gonna go to the store, I’m gonna buy a whole bunch of planners, and make a whole bunch of lists.

[ Both laugh ] That’s probably completely alien to you, huh?

Noah: Hey, I had to follow a lot of directions for my sister’s wedding. There was a list coming at me from every direction.

Allie: Let me guess, those lists just flew completely over your head.

[ Laughs ] And you — you followed your instinct on designing the space.

Noah: Yeah, yeah, you nailed it.

Allie: You know, they say that I can read people. You seem as someone who just follows his gut.

Noah: Okay, well, I’ll take that as a compliment.

Allie: It’s an observation.

[ Chuckles ]

Noah: Alright, let’s compromise.

Allie: About?

Noah: “The grinning soul” episode.

Allie: Alright. Go for it.

Noah: Maybe — just maybe — the message he was trying to convey is that there are wildly divergent paths to success and happiness. And your mission, should you choose to accept it, is finding a path that works for you.

Allie: Nah. I’m still right. You missed the point entirely.

Victor: My baby.

Nikki: Oh, victor.

Victor: Oh, my baby.

Nikki: Mm.

Victor: I’m so happy you’re back.

Nikki: Mm.

Victor: Mm.

Nikki: I missed you. I’m so glad to be home.

Victor: I’ve missed you. Why didn’t you stay in europe longer? That would’ve given me a chance to get rid of ashland locke.

Nikki: I know we talked about keeping victoria away longer, but she insisted on coming home early.

Victor: Oh.

Victoria: Oh, look at who’s here.

Victor: There you are.

Victoria: Hi.

[ Chuckles ] Hi, dad. How are you?

Victor: What happened?

Victoria: Huh? Oh, nothing, it’s just a little flare-up from the accident. Not a big deal. Mom and I had the most amazing time in europe.

Victor: Anyway, I want to hear all about your trip to europe, I really do. Meanwhile, I have some good news for you. Ashland paid me a visit. We had a very productive conversation.

Victoria: About what?

Victor: Well, I think our trouble may soon be over.

Victoria: Dad, what have you done now?

Victor: Now take your $500 million and get the hell out of here. You’ll be alone somewhere. Now get out.

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

Next week on “the young and the restless”…

Sharon: Oh, my gosh! Welcome home. Look at you two. You’re glowing!

Tessa: Honeymoons do that.

Victoria: I want to start over, away from this place, away from all of the people, and i don’t want to just imagine it this time. I actually want to do it.

Ashland: You really mean that?

Victoria: [ Chuckles ]

Phyllis: You’re done? After — what, after all of this, this is the end?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Grunts ] Please take me to port charles airport, international terminal.

[ Cellphone chimes ] P-phyllis — phyllis. Don’t worry. I’m gonna find her. Hold on. When you say “partner in crime,” are you talking about detective first grade dante falconeri?

[ Chuckles ] I still can’t wrap my head around that cop part. This guy’s mom sent him to summer camp in order to keep him away from trouble, and he got in a lot more while he was there. That was because of you. Right, right. Yeah, I’m — I’m the one who led you astray. Mm-hmm. You were the innocent one. Mm-hmm. You guys have known each other that long? We met when we were, uh, what, uh, 12? 13? 12. I came home from school one day. My mom had a bag packed, and she told me I was going to camp for the summer. I was gonna stay out of trouble and get into nature.

[ Chuckles ] And you were the bad influence that corrupted dante. Oh, I’m a bad influence, but so was he back in the day. Cam, hey. Hey. Wow. Two shifts? Kelly’s, now here? Well, you know, with everything going on with my mom, I figured I could use the extra work. Hey, wait. Can we please talk about what’s going on between us? I can’t believe we stayed out for so long. I guess that means we were having a good time.

[ Chuckles ] I guess so. Uh… thanks for buying everything at the pool and for dinner and for ice cream. I’ll pay you back for everything. Oh, forget it. Thank you for introducing me to that amazing food truck. Right? I only found out about it because it goes by pcu on certain days. Another testament of your incredible taste. Good art, good food. I can’t wait to see what else you introduce me to, trina robinson. Whatever you have to say, I promise to listen. Can I please go first? I’ve had a lot of time to think about what you said to me. How I take you for granted. How trina gets under my skin. But I evade every time you call me out on it. And I realized you’re right. And you deserve some answers. D-don’t tell me you’ve hired a divorce lawyer already. No. But I was ready to give up on our marriage. I was, too. I drew a line in the sand and I was ready to walk away. Thankfully, I realized that… was the very last thing I want to do. We can find our way back from this, can’t we?


I wouldn’t say cody corrupted me, but he definitely roped me into going along with some of his more, um… harebrained schemes. Uh-huh. Like you didn’t have any suggestions. Well, I know it wasn’t my choice

or my idea to take the canoe out to the middle of the lake and tip it over on purpose.

[ Laughs ] Yeah. Ah! We — we — we — so we pretended that we were drowning, right? Mm. And we were screaming, like, “help, help!” Until the prettiest cit could come over. That’s a — that’s a counselor-in-training. Yeah. Uh, so she swam over and “rescued” us.

[ Laughs ] Oh, no. And, oh, man, she was mad. She was. We got banned from the beach for the rest of the summer. Then you stole all the camp director’s cigarettes out of his cabin. That’s right, I did. And why did I do that? Do you remember? I dared him to. Yeah, that’s right.

[ Laughs ] And the only reason we got busted in the end is because this guy here smoked every cigarette in the pack… ooh. …And ended up puking all over the place.

[ Laughing ] Gross. Nothing like a little adrenaline rush to let you know you’re alive. It’s like jumping out of a plane and crash landing on an unsuspecting woman. Ah. Talk about mad. And pretty. Now that I’m thinking about it, she actually reminds me of that cit.

[ Chuckles ] Still, if she hadn’t been there, that would have been a perfect landing. Yeah, instead of a potential negligence lawsuit. Oof. Look at you. Former renegade embracing the straight-and-narrow path to a humdrum life. I don’t know if staring down the barrel of a loaded gun is as dangerous as jumping out of a plane. But I don’t know if it’s humdrum. Mm-hmm, okay. Alright, you know that I’m messing with you, right? I’m gonna get you another round for that dinner you’re gonna buy me.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Groans ] You okay? Yeah. No, um… that tumble just fired up some old injuries. I’m good. Yeah, it’s, uh — little pain just lets you know you’re alive, right? Yeah. Why haven’t you mentioned cody before? I don’t know. We — we saw each other every summer at camp, had a hell of a time, but then, uh, we lost touch after I stopped going. That’s too bad. He seems like a good guy. Yeah, he’s a good guy. Good at getting in trouble. I feel like we should be able to tell each other anything by now. You know, unless this is something bigger. I mean, do you feel like we need time or something? No, no, I-I don’t want that. Do you? Well, I don’t know what else to do. There’s clearly something going on. I will not lose joss because you can’t keep your head in the game. Do whatever it takes at this point. I don’t care. Confess to trina. Suck it up to esme. Just make it happen tonight, or I will. You’re right. Um, there’s something that I should tell you. Okay. Isn’t that… the creep who tried to hit on me when I thought we were just study buddies? Hi, josslyn. I-I’m sorry, I really need — I’m sorry to interrupt. I really need to talk to you. I was hoping that trina would get here before I left. She’s actually supposed to be back by now, but she has been working a lot, just dealing with everything hanging over her head. Not saying that I blame her at all. I just wish that there was something that I could do to make things okay for her. We will. Can you give her a big hug from her dad? I sure will. She’s still a daddy’s girl. Don’t worry.

[ Chuckles ] Sweetheart, who’s your friend? Nikolas, we had a fight. You know, big deal.

[ Exhales sharply ] So do most couples. I just had to remember everything that we’ve shared. How we have survived, despite everybody’s predictions to the contrary, because we love each other, we understand each other. It’s gonna take a hell of a lot more than an argument to sever that bond. To be fair, it… it was more than one argument. There are things between us… …that aren’t easily resolved. Nothing between us has been easy. It hasn’t stopped us yet. When you walked away from me, from us, I thought it was over. Yeah, I thought so, too. But, nikolas, it’s because we’re — we’re stubborn, passionate people. And when we’re at odds, you know, things can get really ugly, but when we’re together, we are unbeatable. And that’s our problem, right? W-we stopped working as a team. We — we started to let our own agendas drive us and we forgot to protect this life that we’ve created together, and that life is remarkable. It’s beautiful. It’s utterly our own. And I am n ot gonna let spencerand esme tear it down. Okay. I am so sorry. I’m so sorry for how bad things have gotten between you and me. I’m so sorry for the way that I treated you earlier. Will you please forgive me? Can you track down nina reeves for me? She — yeah, she’s not returning my phone calls or — I’m texting, nothing. Yeah. I’m just — I’m just afraid that she’s not in a great state of mind, and she may do something that she’s gonna regret. Thank you for, uh, making that stop. I left my passport in the office. Okay. Oh, wait. We have to make another stop before you drive me to the airport.


to port charles’ finest. Oh. That means you, dante. And to, uh… unexpected reunions. No wedding ring. You’re not married? Free as a bird. No kids? Nope.

[ Chuckles ] No one special in your life? You ask a lot of questions. Well, sam is a, uh, private investigator.

[ Chuckles ] It’s an occupational hazard. Yeah, it’s like jumping out of a plane and landing on the top of a building. Sort of like skydiving. Is that what you do for a living or is it your side hustle? Actually, uh, for a long time, I was a stunt horseback rider. No kidding. That’s, uh — that’s cool, man. Cody was always really good with horses. I grew up around them, and as soon as I could move out west, I did, d,started working on ranches. That’s where I learned about stunt riding. But after a few too many tumbles, I had to hang up my saddle. Now I make a living doing a bunch of short-term gigs. Wait, isn’t dropping out of the sky really hard on your back? Yeah. Probably gonna have to quit that, too. So how long have you two been together? Oh, you want to take that one? Yeah. We’re coming up on a year. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Year? That’s a good amount of time. How, uh — how’d you meet? Uh… sam’s been a family friend for a lot of years. My ex-husband was best friends with his dad. Whoa. You found your father? I remember you wanting to know who he was. Yeah. I, uh… I got to know my father a little more than 10 years ago. Dante, I mean, this is significant. Tell me — tell me what the — tell me about him. He’s a businessman here in port charles. What’s his business? Corinthos coffee. Wait a minute. Your dad is sonny corinthos? Brick, talk to me. A plane ticket. Where? Damn it. Milan? How soon? Alright, I’m on it. If I were you, adam, I’d get the hell out of here. Hey, it’s fine. Let’s just see what he has to say. Can we do this in private? You’re joking. It’s fine. You’ve got a minute. Be right there. One wrong word and you’re in the pool. I’m pretty good at it. I’ve been too afraid to talk to you at school. But I saw you come in tonight, and I — well, I figured it was now or never. For what? An apology. As convenient as it would be to blame everything on — on spencer and esme, we’ve struggled with trust and honesty from the beginning, and I — I take my responsibility in that. Ava: I know that we have. Oh! We have legitimate issues to work through. I know that. But despite those issues, nikolas, there’s so much love here. There’s — there’s a kinship, even. And there’s — there’s certainly no denying our attraction, right? Surely those things can see us through. So what do you say? Are you still in this with me? I appreciate your acknowledgment that you’ve treated me badly, but… it’s not that simple, spence. I know.

I’ve messed everything up. But I’m trying to work it out. I want to be the man that you deserve. But in order to get there, I may need a second or third or even fourth chance. And I don’t even know which one I’m on now.

[ Chuckles ] Just believe that… I’m trying to do better by you. I need a bit more than “I’m trying,” because from where I’m standing, it doesn’t look like you’re trying very hard, except maybe to justify your behavior. I have been willing to stand by your side no matter what, and I haven’t gotten anything close to that from you. I deserve better.


I’m with you. Always and forever.

[ Inhales sharply ] So “always and forever” lasted all of 4 seconds. I’m sorry, I — you just surprised me. Right, and your instinct was to recoil. That’s not very reassuring, you know. I’m as in love with you as ever. I wanted to grab you in my arms so many times, I had to restrain myself. We came so close to the edge, to giving up on each other. I-I think it might take a little time for things to feel normal between us again. You know, there is still one giant thing between us, and if we really want to move forward… we have to settle it once and for all. You talked to my father about me? Among other things. He saw my suitcase, and I’m afraid I accidentally broke the news to him about ava’s offer for us to move out of wyndemere in exchange for an allowance from your trust fund. One thing led to another, and I told him we fought. I was on the verge of walking out on you. What did my father say to make you stay? He cares about you and he doesn’t want to see you hurt, so he talked me down. He gave me a new perspective on relationships. It was a lot for me to take in, but made me realize I have to be honest about what I need from you. I know that our relationship has been rocky. I’ve been in a bad head space ever since I was in spring ridge, but I’m ready to do whatever it takes to make this work between us. Do you really mean that? So, are you sure I can’t get you anything to drink or…? Uh, no, ma’am. I’m fine. Good. Dad, weren’t you supposed to be leaving? You know what? I think I remember you. Weren’t you, um — you were at the courthouse at trina’s arraignment, right? Uh, yes, ma’am. That was the first day I officially met trina. He brought me a soda when I was in the interrogation room.

[ Chuckles ] Well, that’s an interesting story.

[ Chuckles ] Mm-hmm. Uh, mr. Taggert, I heard how you and commissioner ashford took down cyrus renault. Great work. You think? I broke the law. I had to convince my ex-wife and daughter I was dead for nearly six months. Which I had a problem with at first. But then I realized that you were just doing what you felt like you had to do. Sounded like you did what you needed to in order to protect your family and community. I admire that. Can I ask you a question, rory? You like breaking rules? I mean, is that the real reason you’re hanging out with my daughter? You want to apologize? I do. I’m sorry. I was a total jerk. I had no — no right to say the things that I said to you. No, you didn’T. So why did you? I’m ashamed to say it now, but… all I saw was a hot girl in a video. I didn’t think about what it felt like for you to have your privacy violated. But then I read your article in the invader. Reading about what you went through, that was seriously messed up, and it made me check myself. If someone did that to my sister, I would be furious. I’m really sorry. And I’m sorry I made it w– I made it worse for you. Thank you. And…I accept your apology. Great. Should we hug it out or something? Remember the pool? Yeah, don’t push it.

[ Chuckles ] I’m guessing you know the namesonny corinthos. I hear he knows how to roast a mean bean. Any chance I could get a hook up on some free coffee? Some thing s never change. Alwayslooking for an angle, huh? Well, hey, it’s — it’s not what you know. It’s who you know. Mm-hmm. So what are you getting up to tonight? Want to raise some ruckus and honor the old times? Um, you know what? I got a — I got an early morning. Right, yeah. Got to keep those bad guys off the street. Yeah, and get my kid to school. Look at you, man. Dad with a great job, cool girlfriend.

[ Chuckles ] I didn’t think you had it in you. I’m really happy for you, honestly. Looks like you grew up to have a full life. Thanks, man. It seems like you got the life you wanted too. Yeah, more or less. I’m really glad we had this chance to catch up, even if it’s just for one night. Yeah. You know, we’re having dinner at my place tomorrow. Why don’t you come by? I was worried about you. I-I called you. I texted you. You didn’t return any of my calls. I just — I put my phone on silent. I just was not in the mood to talk to anyone. I heard the judge rejected your petition to see wiley. I’m sorry. You’re not upset at how I let scott go after michael? I don’t like to see michael in pain, but it doesn’t mean I can’t feel for you. Well, I won’t be hurting michael or willow anymore. I’m headed to the airport as soon as I find — this? Oh. No, sonny, please. Nina, nina — I’m already running late. Can you give it to — there is a car waiting for me. Too bad, nina. I’m not letting you go.

[ Sighs ]


you wanted to give us space to work on our marriage, my offer to spencer wasn’t only so he and esme would move out. It was for us, too. You wanted to give us space to work on our marriage, but it hurts that my son chose his money over his relationship with me. Darling, I mean no disrespect. In spencer’s eyes, you did exactly the same thing. Tell you what. As a gesture of good faith and to show you that I am committed to our marriage, I won’t make spencer choose. Yeah, if you

renege,he’ll be furious. No, no, no, I-I’ll still give him the money on the condition that he remains here. Of course, I’ll still have to put up with esme. No, not necessarily. Spencer and esme might be breaking up. She seems to think so. Oh, maybe that’s why he was looking for her. Maybe she’s already gone. This calls for a toast. Things are looking up already. I mean it with all my heart, esme. I want us to make it. Can you please accept my apology? Please. Come on. I love you, spence. And I want to make our relationship work. So, yes, I forgive you. I hope this can be a new beginning for us. I want that, too. I’m ready for all this drama to be a thing in the past. The best part is… I know you really mean that. This isn’t an interrogation. It’s a fair question. Sir, I’m actually a by-the-book guy, which is why I looked it up, and there is no rule stating that I’m not allowed to be friends with trina while she awaits trial. You’re a rookie, right? There’s something you need to understand, son, about law enforcement — there’s written rules and there’s unwritten rules. Yes, sir. I take that seriously. Just like I take seriously our oath and motto — to protect and serve. It’s why I was drawn to the job. And I’m not violating the oath or motto by hanging out with trina. And if someone has a problem with that, that’s on them, not me. So what do you like to do in your spare time, officer cabrera? Uh, well, trina has been teaching me about art. She’s got a great eye. Oh, okay.

[ Chuckles ] Trina: I keep telling him that art is subjective, but I guess I’ve just been around it more. Hey, no false modesty. Own it, lady. Okay. [ Chuckles ] I guess I am pretty good at it. But I like to keep active, play sports, swim, work out when I can. The job keeps me pretty busy, and the whole work-life balance can be pretty tough. Right. You let me know when you get that figured out.

[ Chuckles ] I will. But, you know, right now, I’m just trying to remind myself to make more time for things that I enjoy. Cody: I appreciate the offer, but I got to hit the road tomorrow. No way, you’re only here for the day? Yeah. Life in the gig economy. My next job’s in the finger lakes area. But port charles seems like a nice town. It is. It’s too bad you can’t stay a little longer and get to know the place. I never get too comfy in one place. Got to pay the bills. Are you looking for a job long-term? I don’t know. I mean, since I quit riding, kind of just go wherever the wind blows. But, I mean, I’m open for the right opportunity. Why do you ask? Because I might know of a job that could be a good fit for you, if, of course, you’re interested. I can’t stay here. I can’T. I hate losing you, leaving you, but I can’t keep doing this. My mistakes have already cost you everything, and they have finally caught up with me. But I meant what I said on the stand. I forgive you for what you did to me. Thank you. That means everything. But that doesn’t change the fact that I lost… wiley. My grandson. My flesh and blood. The last link that I will ever have to my daughter. You don’t know that for sure, nina. Sonny, michael and willow will not let me see wiley after everything that happened in court today. Michael and willow can’t keep you from seeing your grandson forever, nina. Can’t they? No, they — they c– they can. I mean, they — they will not let that little boy see anything redeemable in me. I mean, willow accused me of being exactly like nelle. And — and I said terrible things. I have a habit of just lashing out when I feel cornered. I missed my chance of — of getting what my mother stole from me. I won’t know nelle. And now I won’t know her son. Nina — nina — and the only thing I have left of them is… is that necklace, sonny. Just give it to me, please. Just give it to me so I can go. It hurts too much to stay here. Please. Do me a favor before you leave. Let me ask you one thing. How do you think wiley is gonna feel when he finds out you gave up on him?


Ids spend a lot of timeat their grandmother’S. They have stables and horses. They just got a new horse, and they’re actually looking for another handler. Mm. So old money? New?

[ Chuckles ] Come on, does it matter? You said that you worked on ranches. Does that mean you have experience in managing and grooming horses? Yeah, sure. I mean, when I was a kid, my family tended to some horses that were on an estate near the camp. I helped out. Actually, I even took over for a couple years before I headed out west. Hey, that sounds great. I mean, I can’t promise you anything, but at least dante and I could get you a foot in the door. Yeah. You know, sam, I think that — that is a good idea. I just don’t think it’s the right one for cody here. I mean, never too comfy in one place, right? Hey. Hey. Everything okay? Mm-hmm, yeah. I was, uh, telling josslyn that I read your article in the invader and how sorry I was that everything went down the way it did. You guys are really brave. I, um… appreciate you both. Cool. Thanks. He legit? Actually, yes. He apologized and he told me that when he read the article, he changed, you know? We changed his perspective. Hmm. Look, it’s just more validation that we made the right decision by agreeing to do the article. Yeah. Guess we did. I’m glad you’re finally getting some closure. Mm. No, I wouldn’t say that. I’m not gonna get any closure on any of this until esme gets exactly what she deserves. Ah, spencer, I’m so glad you’re here. I have some news. I’ve decided to amend our agreement. Oh, you’re giving me full control of my trust fund.

[ Laughs ] No, no. I’m still gonna give you allowance like we agreed, except you won’t be moving out. You’ll — you’ll stay here and work things out with your father. You want me to stay here? Yes. And, well, it seems that the timing has worked out perfectly. N-nikolas, uh, he told me what happened. And, uh, what was that, exactly? Well, I — I understand that you and spencer have been having some difficulties and are looking to take a break. Now, I’m not gonna insult your intelligence by telling you I’m sorry to hear that. I’m sure you’ll land on your feet, find some other family to terrorize. Long as it’s not mine. Oh, that’s where you’re wrong, ava. Spence and i worked everything out. He stays, I stay. Does that alter your terms? I’m not giving up on wiley. I’m fighting to stay in his life, sonny. Up until now, nina. You had one setback, and you’re gonna — you’re just gonna throw in the towel? Because I can’t sit on the sidelines and watch that little boy play out the rest of his life without me, knowing that his family poisoned his mind against me. It just hurts too much. If you run away, he’s gonna believe the lies. Wiley’s gonna grow up, he’s gonna want to know his mother and her family. He’s gonna seek you out. Maybe he’ll — he’ll even want a relationship with you when he finds out how great you are. I just don’t see that happening. Well, you know what? We don’t know the future. But one thing I can tell you right now is you’re not gonna have a relationship with wiley if you’re not here. I just feel hopeless, sonny. So, what, you’re gonna just run — you’re gonna run, right? Because that’s what you do. That’s your pattern. You got to break that pattern. Otherwise, wiley is gonna keep believing all the lies that everybody keeps telling him. What if it’s too late? That’s your fear talking, nina. Remember what you said to me? The only way you’re gonna make it up to wiley is to prove to him how much you love him. Now, you believed that then and you believe it now. I don’t know what I believe. Stay here. You have — you have a life here. And you could have one with wiley, but you’re never gonna know if you run away.


Thanks for the offer, sam, but I don’t think that’s the right gig for me. Ever since we were kids, this guy has had adventure in his veins. He’s right. Dante’s always had my number. My break’s about over. I should probably head back. Oh, okay, but you were gonna tell me something before adam interrupted me. Right. You know, it’s not really important. It can wait. Really? Because I can’t shake the feeling that you’re hiding something from me. No, no, no, I — look, I’m sorry. I’m probably giving off, like, really weird vibes. I-I’m just really worried about my mom. Okay. Yeah, you’re right. I’m sorry. Just know that you can tell me anything. Okay? Joss, I love you. I love you, too. The most important thing to me is that nikolas and spencer work out their problems. And so if the two of you are back on track, then…it seems like you’ll be sticking around. That is if spencerdecides to stay. The decision is his. I’ll support whatever you decide, son. Seems like a win-win to me. How could I refuse such a generous offer? Well, then it’s settled. And as a welcome-home gift, I’ll wire you your first payment. Thanks. I’ll come, too.

[ Door closes ] I thought they’d never leave. Are you really okay with esme staying here? I’m committed to my marriage, just like I’m committed to you and your father moving forward. If that means I have to put up with esme, I will do my best to tolerate her. So help me. You didn’t say anything to ava? She doesn’t suspect? No. And listen, what happened between us can never happen again. We are both back together with our partners and we have another shot at making things work. I think it’s best if ava and spencer never find out what happened. I totally agree. Ava and spence never have to find out. It’s been nice meeting you, dr. Robinson, mr. Taggert. Unfortunately, I have an early morning tomorrow. It was nice meeting you, too, rory. Actually, I was just leaving, so I’ll walk you out. Mm-hmm. I’ll see you soon, trina. Okay. See you soon.

[ Door closes ]

[ Giggles ]

[ Chuckles ] Um…okay. Wait a second. He was nice. He was cute, too. Okay, mom — no, I’m just saying. I-I don’t know. I picked up a little, I don’t know, connection. Like you said, he’s a nice person. And I barely know him. Okay, whatever you say.

[ Squeals ]

[ Both laugh ] Okay. I’ll stay in port charles. For wiley. You’re making the right choice. And I’ll watch that sweet little boy become a stranger to me. Or even worse… afraid of me because of what his family has said about me. I’m not sure how I’m gonna handle that. Well, you’re not gonna handle that alone. ‘Cause you got me and you got phyllis and family and friends. We’re here for you, okay? That’s a good thing. Every step of the way. Because I don’t know how I’m gonna watch wiley grow up without me. Or how I’m gonna live without that little boy.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Taylor: I don’t think it’s asking too much that ridge and me want to spend a little time together.

Brooke: Alone?

Taylor: Alone, together. Yes.

Brooke: I get it. Steffy left town with kelly and hayes and you, as parents, you’re concerned about her.

Taylor: Yes. Yes, wouldn’t you be? Uh, especially after everything our daughter’s gone through.

Brooke: Yes, of course. But if you’re second-guessing this situation and if you think she needs more support while she’s away, why didn’t you just go with her?

Taylor: Ah, wow, um, are you suggesting that I have ulterior motives, brooke?

Brooke: Why would you come here with food to see ridge? What is this little scene that you’re creating, taylor? What is it? Something behind this?

Carter: I think about you all the time. I can’t concentrate. I can’t sleep at night and when I do, I dream about you. Wanting you, everything we had, needing you to want me, too.

Quinn: Carter–

Carter: I know, I know, I know, I know, I know. I realize that your loyalty is with your husband. But, quinn, for me to stand here and not hold you in my arms, it’s– it’s so damn hard. To remember what we had, and not want that connection, that passion back.

Carter: I probably sound like a crazy man.

Quinn: No. You’re just– telling how you feel.

Carter: Heh! Yeah, to a married woman I had an intense affair with. A woman whose life, whose marriage I almost ruined.

Quinn: Ugh, I’m just as responsible as you are. Maybe more.

Carter: But you moved on. Quinn, you’re back with eric. You’re rebuilding your trust. Me, I’m stuck and it’s like my feelings for you won’t let me move forward.

Quinn: Oh, I’m sorry.

Carter: I’m not. How could I possibly be sorry? To have had what I had with you, quinn, I’ve never felt more alive in my life. That’s because of you.

Quinn: Listen to me. Carter, I– I know this has been really hard for you. I– I hate that for you. But my commitment is to eric. It has to be.

Carter: I know, I know. But these feelings I have for you, I’m always going to have for you, and it’s driving me crazy, okay? It’s driving me crazy more and more every day.

Donna: Guess who?

[ Giggling ]

Eric: Well, I– I might need a hint.

Donna: Yeah? How about… now?

[ Giggle ] How’s my honey bear?

Eric: Well, I’m a lot better now that you’re here.

Donna: Eric… what’s going on?

Taylor: My god, brooke! You’re putting ridge in the middle again.

Brooke: No, I’m not. He’s not in the middle. He’s still married to me. And if it weren’t for sheila, he would be living with me right now.

Taylor: Okay, okay. Let’s pretend that’s true. Let’s pretend that sheila never did anything to you. That night never happened with deacon, you and ridge are still together, and you’re not separated. Now would you still be upset with ridge if– if he wanted to spend time with me because something terrible happened to our daughter and she left town?

Brooke: I’m very respectful of steffy’s situation and I can understand how you’d be worried as a parent. Any parent would be. But, taylor, you can still talk to her. It’s not like she fell off the face of the earth. All you have to do is pick up the phone. Or video call. And ridge and you and all of us will be there for her, and for the kids, no matter where she is. Now that they’re gone, ridge has time to spend with himself. You know, focus on his life, on his future, a future that he committed to with me, when we exchanged our vows with one another. Whatever gives you life

Carter: Look, I know that, I know eric still loves you.

Quinn: He– he’s devoted, he’s loyal, and he deserves the same thing from me. I– I can’t– I can’t hurt him again.

Carter: Look, eric’s important to me too. He’s given me opportunities that I– I could’ve only dreamed of.

Quinn: And you made the most of them. You’re the best coo that forrester could ever have.

Carter: If that’s your way of telling me to concentrate on my job and stop thinking about what can never be then–

Quinn: I’m saying think of eric.

Carter: I am thinking of eric. That’s why I’m not holding you right now and never letting go. Quinn, I’m trying to deny my feelings for you, okay, but I can’T.

Quinn: Okay. What I’m saying is we know what happened before, when we let things get out of control. The sneaking around, the betrayal. We both don’t want that to happen again, right? And I cannot betray eric again. I can’t do that to a man who I trust with my whole heart.

Eric: I apologize. I have, uh, I have a lot on my mind.

Donna: You wanna talk about it? I’m a really attentive listener, among other things.

Eric: Yeah, you– you are good at that, getting me to smile, getting me out of myself. It’s good.

Donna: It’s a gift.

Eric: Yeah.

Donna: And I love being able to do that for you too.

Eric: Oh, donna.

Donna: Wha– what is it? Some– are you sure you’re okay? What?

Eric: While I was here, while I was waiting for you, I couldn’t help, uh, thinking. Asking myself, wh– what am I, what am I doing? And I love being here with you, I do. But I can’t, I can’t help thinking–

Donna: You know what?

Eric: About quinn.

Donna: Sometimes thinking is just so overrated.

Eric: It is?

Donna: Yeah. Yeah, even some experts agree. I was just reading about it in a medical journal the other day.

Eric: Uh, uh, you were?

Donna: Yeah, medical journal. Magazine. Okay, I heard a bunch of baristas talking about it.

[ Eric laughing ] See? More laughter, less thinking. You’re welcome.

Taylor: I am aware that ridge made a commitment to you, brooke, you don’t have to keep reminding me.

Brooke: Well, I would hope I wouldn’t have to. But, when I walk in on what I just did.

Taylor: What you walked in on was ridge and me about to share some food. We were discussing our daughter. I– I don’t understand–

Ridge: May I say something, please, ladies?

Brooke and taylor: Fine.

Ridge: Thank you. I moved over here because I’m trying to figure out my life. And I didn’t ask anyone to wait for me to make a choice. I just need time. A lot of things have happened and I’m trying to process it.

Brooke: Ah, that’s true for all of us.

Ridge: Yes. But it’s especially true for the two of us. Our son-in-law got killed. Steffy was in the hospital. Sitting there for days after days, just waiting for her to come back to us. And she’s okay. But our lives turned upside down. Our family is– we as parents, need to spend some time together.

Brooke: Yeah. I get it. So, you’re asking me to leave.

Ridge: I’m asking you to understand. I’ll see you at the office.

Brooke: Mm hm. Goodnight. My lovely husband. With golo, I’ve lost 13 inches in my waist.

Donna: Stealing moments with you like this. Sharing laughter, and– and joy, and love. Yes, I said “love.” You know that you’re always going to be the great love of my life, eric. And I know I– I said I have no expectations, and I don’T. I don’t, as long as I just get a little sliver of you and your time and– but I have to be honest with you, eric. I have to wonder if somehow we could, we could be more. If you and I could– could have a beautiful future together.

Quinn: I know there’s someone special out there for you, carter. Someone who’s going to bring the same passion and intensity to your life that– that I did. But I also know that that person’s name is not paris.

Carter: Maybe. But even if that happens, it won’t replace those moments in the loft. The two of us sharing our most intimate thoughts, emotions, feelings I can’t forget to this day.

Quinn: I can’t either. It would be so easy to get swept up in all of that again– to get swept up in you. But I can’T. I– I can’t be with you, carter.

[ Keys jangle ]

Deacon: Brooke? I saw you drive in. I– I was down at the cabin. I was waiting for hope. She’s not here. Umm, how’d it go with ridge? You weren’t gone very long.

[ Clears throat ]

Deacon: Things didn’t go well?

Brooke: I was really hoping to spend some time alone with ridge. There was a lot that I wanted to say to him.

Deacon: What happened?

Brooke: Taylor happened. She was there with ridge when I arrived. And she was there when I left.

Ridge: Well, thank you again for feeding me.

Taylor: Mm hm.

Ridge: And saving me from quinn’s cooking. I don’t know how dad does it.

[ Laughing ]

Taylor: No – it can’t be that bad.

Ridge: Oh, it’s awful. Last night, we had oatmeal and toast for dinner.

Taylor: No, you didn’T.

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: No.

Ridge: Mmm.

Taylor: Really?

Ridge: She’s great in the kitchen. No, she’s not. She’s awful. She’s a good jewelry designer but don’t make her cook.

[ Laughing ]

Taylor: That’s funny.

Ridge: Mmm. But you know what? I’m squatting here, so I can’t really be choosy. You know what I mean.

Taylor: I do know what you mean.

[ Flirtatious laugh ] Hey, thank you, for earlier. Telling brooke that we needed some time alone.

Ridge: I like hanging out with you. You bring me food. You know, we– we talk, we discuss things, and even when we’re just sitting there quietly. I like it. We really had our hands full with our two-year-old.

[ Waves roar ]

Eric: What are you thinking?

Donna: Ah. I was just remembering all that– the wonderful moments that we’ve shared.

[ Glasses clink ]

Eric: You are beautiful.

[ Applause ]

Eric: So many memories we have.

Donna: God, I’ve loved you for so long, eric. And I– that’s never going to change. I– I just, I have to say it. I just– I want you to be happy and I just– I see that you’re not happy and– I’m not a home wrecker, and I just– I–

[ Sighing ] I guess what I’m trying to say is… leave her, eric. Leave quinn.

Quinn: I’ll never forget eric’s ability to forgive me and give our marriage another chance. I owe eric the same loyalty he’s– he’s always shown me. I owe eric my total devotion and fidelity.

Deacon: Are you fricking kidding me? Ridge sent you away?

Brooke: Yes. But– they were talking about steffy.

Deacon: I don’t care what they were talking about. You’re forrester’s wife. I– or has he forgotten that? Ugh, I’ll tell you this much, if you were my wife, I wouldn’t forget. And I damn well wouldn’t send you away. I’d want to be with you every single moment. Just– you know, I’d want you by my side.

Ridge: You know what I like most about chinese take-out?

Taylor: Ah, no dishes to clean up?

Ridge: There is that. But also I can show off my skills with these babies.

Taylor: Mmm.

Ridge: Huh?

Taylor: Yeah. You’re very good at that. Do you remember when you taught thomas?

Ridge: Huh.

Taylor: Mm! He was so frustrated. He couldn’t figure it out.

Ridge: He still can’t figure it out. He’s useless at it.

[ Laughing ]

Taylor: You’re right!

Ridge: Wondering where the cookies are, that was always his thing.

Taylor: Oh, speaking of which, come on. Fortune cookies!

[ Plastic crinkles ]

Ridge: Alright. You go first.

Taylor: Me? Okay. Alright, it says “if– if you really want to find yourself, play hide’n’seek alone.”

[ Chuckling ] That is rich and ironic.

Ridge: Yeah. No, it’s uh… it’s none of those things. Uh– okay.

Taylor: Mm hm.

Ridge: “To have a best friend, be a best friend.”

Taylor: Awww.

Ridge: Wow, alright.

Taylor: You’re a good best friend. You understand me, like no one else.

Ridge: Well, you get me more than most people.

Taylor: I like to think that I understand how your brain works. You’re a good man, ridge. I know you don’t want to hurt me or brooke.

Ridge: I don’t want to hurt anybody. I’m trying to take my time and I– I know it’s risky because you might just pack your things and go back to the life you had before it, umm. A fulfilled, wonderful life. Well, I don’t– I don’t want that. I don’t want you to leave. My– my world is better with you in it.

Taylor: You know when I– when I came back to L.A., And, you know, we were spending time with the kids and our grandkids, it– it’s exactly what I imagined our life would be like, if we would’ve stayed married. I know you love me, ridge. And you know that I am not going anywhere. Not now. I believe in us. I– I like us. A lot.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jack: Phyllis, I’ll talk to you later. I can’t do it right now.

Phyllis: Please let me explain what you heard me say to diane, please.

Jack: Frankly, you couldn’t have spelled it out more clearly. The main reason we finally got together, the main reason we kicked our romance into high gear is you wanted to stick it to your old enemy.

Phyllis: Okay, that’s not what it was at all.

Jack: I specifically asked you if you were flaunting our relationship in front of diane because she was needling you. You denied that. I assume you’re here to deny it again. Maybe I should’ve listened to that voice in my head.

Phyllis: Whoa, oh, that voice in your head? You know who that is. That’s diane. She’s putting all those thoughts in your head. She’s doing the same thing to me, jack. That’s what she does. She’s trying to manipulate us. Please do not have her have that power over you. Please, jack.

Summer: My dad says harrison and christian are having a ball at his place.

Kyle: I’m glad nick let him hang out there. It’s the best place for him to be tucked away while we wait for ashland to be served with the restraining order.

Diane: [ Sighs ] I hope I’m not interrupting.

Kyle: Uh, this is a surprise.

Diane: I have been trying to find you two because…I have a confession to make.

Sally: I did it!

Adam: What exactly did you do?

Sally: The deal with hartwell. I closed it. Can you believe it? You should’ve seen how hard i negotiated.

[ Sighs ] Okay, you are really taking the fun out of this.

Adam: I’M… I’m sorry. I know it’s a major coup, so congratulations.

Sally: What’s wrong?

Adam: Just something is on my mind.

Sally: Newman media related?

Adam: No. Our plan to push victoria and ashland back together, we hit a snag.

Sally: But the text you sent made it seem like things were moving along.

Adam: It was.

Sally: And I thought ashland was more determined than ever to get back together with her.

Adam: It was all headed in that direction. And victoria just got back from her ridiculous spa trip to switzerland, so it seemed like it was just a matter of time, but something interfered with our plan.

Sally: [ Sighs ] What?

Adam: My father.

Nate: Hey. I am so sorry if I woke you. I was trying my best to keep quiet so you can get some rest.

Elena: Oh, you didn’t seem to care about that earlier.

Nate: Oh, I cared.

Elena: [ Chuckles ] Well, I set my alarm so i wouldn’t miss my shift at the clinic. Where are you headed?

Nate: Devon invited me to sit in on a meeting with the head of his digital marketing agency, and then we’re headed to the grand phoenix to make sure all the plans are in place for the launch.

Elena: [ Gasps ] Your first big event as coo.

Nate: It’s all coming together.

Elena: So, who’s all gonna be at the grand phoenix for this meeting?

Nate: Well, lily just got back from her trip, so I’m sure she’ll be there. Billy is not available, so probably just the three of us.

Elena: Good. I mean, the fewer the people, the more efficient it’ll be.

Nate: I will see you after your shift.

Elena: Yes. Tell lily I said hi.

Nate: Will do.

Imani: Looks like we both have the same thought about arriving early and getting some work done before the meeting.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] I didn’t know that you were gonna be in attendance.

Imani: Yeah, I decided to join just in case there were any legal concerns, so… I could do my work in the restaurant until we get started. I don’t want to disturb you.

Lily: Oh, no, no, no, please. I could use the company, so have a seat.

Devon: Well, thank you for being early.

Nate: I was hoping we could talk for a few minutes before the meeting so you could fill me in.

Devon: Yeah, yeah, for sure. Today, we’re gonna be talking with gwen davis, who runs the digital marketing agency that hamilton-winters has been using for years. She’s an industry leader, super, super talented, ton of great ideas, and she doesn’t believe in bigger being better, so she keeps her client list pretty tight out of principle.

Nate: I can respect that.

Devon: Yeah, me too. But I have a feeling that she’s a little uneasy about the merger taking place, ’cause when I told her about it, she sounded concerned that our working relationship would change, so…

Amanda: Hey, hi. I didn’t know you were down here.

Nate: I’m a little early for the meeting. Are you joining us?

Amanda: No, not yet. I have to run to the office to grab a few things, but I will meet you two at the grand phoenix, okay?

Devon: Okay. Mwah.

Amanda: Bye.

Nate: Bye.

Amanda: Oh, elena, hi.

Elena: Hey.

Amanda: You heading to work?

Elena: Yeah, I’m working at the clinic today, and I know you’re preparing for the big launch. Very exciting.

Amanda: Yes, it is. We actually have a meeting to finalize the details today.

Elena: Oh, yeah, nate told me about it. Hey, I have some time before i have to clock in. If you have a minute, do you want to join me for coffee?

Adam: Kyle and summer had a restraining order drawn up so locke has to stay away from the kid.

Sally: Oh. Well, that’s cold.

[ Sighs ] How does summer get away with doing things like that while people still think I’m the mean girl?

Adam: Well, being a newman has its privileges.

Sally: Well, ashland hasn’t left town, and victoria is back, so there’s still hope for our plan.

Adam: Yeah, it was a good idea. It was the perfect way to showcase victoria’s poor judgment. But we’re running out of time. I mean, locke is probably already planning his route out of genoa city as we speak.

Sally: I still have hope. But if it doesn’t work out, not to worry. We’ll just come up with something else. A better plan. We will put our brilliant brains together and come up with something even more clever to prove that you are the only one who should be running newman enterprises.

Summer: What have you done?

Diane: I saw jack and phyllis in the park earlier, and I made a comment about your possible move back to genoa city. I didn’t realize you were trying to keep that quiet.

Summer: I don’t understand what the issue is.

Kyle: Yeah, they already knew we were thinking about moving back.

Diane: Ashland was there, too. Jack made it clear that he wasn’t happy that I shared that information in front of him.

Kyle: Okay, what was ashland even doing there? Was he harassing dad for information on where to find harrison?

Diane: Oh, no, no, no, it was nothing like that. Ashland and I were just chatting, and then we ran into jack and phyllis.

Summer: Wait, I didn’t even realize that you and ashland knew each other.

Diane: Oh, well, we crossed paths a few times at the grand phoenix when we were both staying there, and then when we saw each other in the park, we stopped to chat.

Kyle: Ashland locke is bad news./ He’s in the process of splitting up with victoria because of some pretty heinous behavior on his part.

Diane: I’m aware of that now. And jack warned me about him, too. And then when I asked ashland about it, he came clean about all the awful things he’d done. But don’t worry, I’m not about to let him manipulate me. I made it perfectly clear that if he is hoping that I’ll intercede for him about harrison, he is sorely mistaken.

Phyllis: Diane is a master at pushing buttons. She hasn’t lost her touch. Unfortunately, we have. We cannot let her keep on playing mind games. We can’t do it. So you know what? Forget what I said. Forget it.

Jack: How do you expect me to do that?

Phyllis: I was just saying it so she’d shut up and back off.

Jack: We both know it was never that insignificant. This wasn’t a thoughtless remark in a heated moment.

Phyllis: No, that’s exactly what it was.

Jack: Phyllis, you arranged for her to be in the hotel to see us coming downstairs after we made love. It was calculated. It was tawdry. And frankly, pretty hurtful.

Phyllis: How could you think that of me?

Jack: Because I am tired of pretending. I’m tired of making excuses for you. Either you’re gonna tell me the truth or I don’t see any way that we’re gonna get past this.

Phyllis: What? Of course we’ll get past this.

Jack: The truth, phyllis. The truth. With golo, I’ve lost 13 inches in my waist.

Kyle: Glad you were astute enough to realize ashland intended to use you to get to harrison.

Summer: He tried to sneak in a visit today when harrison was in the park with his nanny.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] That was a foolish move. It’ll make you even more protective.

Kyle: Exactly. In fact, we just took out a restraining order so he can’t see harrison.

Summer: What, you don’t approve?

Diane: No, I wouldn’t say that. It’s not my place. Obviously, you know what’s best for your child. And after hearing all the horrible things ashland has done, I — I see your point.

Summer: So why do I feel a “but” coming?

Diane: Because I can’t help but feel a certain amount of sympathy for the guy. I mean, I know what it’s like to be separated from a child that you love, and he does seem to genuinely care for harrison.

Summer: Makes sense that you would identify with ashland, but hopefully you do realize that you can love someone and still be toxic to them, too.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Amanda: Well, welcome home.

Summer: Hi. Thanks. Hopefully we’ll be here for a while.

Amanda: Oh, that’s great. And this must be your mother.

Diane: Do you see the family resemblance?

Amanda: Yes, I do, and I also heard that you were in town. I’m friends with phyllis.

Diane: Ah. Sadly, I’m not.

Phyllis: I’m not making excuses. I’m calling out diane for the person that she is. I’m not apologizing for that, by the way. I mean, I-I-I can’t believe that you can’t see this.

Jack: This is not about diane.

Phyllis: Oh, it’s about diane! It’s all about diane!

[ Exhales sharply ] Oh, my god. I mean, seriously, have you forgotten all of her insane history of trying to get in between us?

Jack: You don’t have to remind me of all the bad things diane did.

Phyllis: I think I do. I think I do. I think you’ve forgotten. So I was staking my claim — yes, I was — and showing her that we are still solid. We are solid, and she can’t get in between us.

Jack: Don’t you see that you accomplished exactly the opposite? Exactly the opposite! You convinced her and anyone within earshot in a hotel lobby that our relationship was nothing more than a vengeful little game, a convenient weapon to use against an old enemy.

Phyllis: That’s not what i was doing. I was not doing that at all. I cannot believe you’re saying these things about me, seriously. We have gotten so close and we have come so far, and it took so long.

Jack: Yeah, that’s my point exactly. It took so long that I’d actually given up hope that it would ever happen? Neither one of us were ready to move to the next step, and that was fine with me because i cherished our friendship. And then you changed your mind when diane came to town.

Phyllis: Jack, it’s not like that at all. I can’t believe you would think that of me.

Jack: What am I supposed to think? I heard what you said. “I accelerated things with jack to shove it in your face, diane.” What, you didn’t say those words?

Elena: Thank you for waiting.

Amanda: Mm.

Elena: I’m glad you had a few minutes.

Amanda: Of course, of course. We have to catch up. I’m sure you don’t even know that we have dominic staying with us for the next few days.

Elena: No! I have to stop by and get my hug.

Amanda: You have to, you have to. He is out with the nanny right now, but he’ll be back later.

Elena: [ Chuckles ] Devon is always so happy when he has dom.

Amanda: Yeah, he is. He’s so cute with that little baby. And I have to tell you, he has thrown himself into parenting. He takes it very, very seriously. He was up until wee hours of the morning last night, just researching baby gates, okay? He’s worried that dominic’s gonna start wandering around on his own.

Elena: You know, it’s not an exact comparison, but nate is the same way. He is so excited about his new job. He’s all in, reading everything he can get his hands on.

Amanda: Well, I have to tell you, his hard work has definitely paid off. His ideas, his contributions, they’ve been great. And I was worried that, you know, he might miss the hospital environment, but he has been thriving in this new venture.

Elena: Well, I definitely miss him at the hospital. But don’t get me wrong, I love seeing his enthusiasm and hearing about everything that he’s doing and hearing about the people he’s working with, even though I know most of them, like you and devon and billy and lily and of course your sister.

Amanda: Hmm. I think I know why you worked imani into the conversation. I just want you to know that imani and nate, they have very little reason to interact. I keep her very busy. And I’ve also made it very clear to her that nate is strictly off-limits, if that’s a concern for you.

Imani: So I’ve been working on the downs contract, and the negotiations seem to have come to an impasse.

Lily: Oh, okay. I wasn’t aware of that.

Imani: But I do have some suggestions that might turn things around.

Lily: Okay.

Imani: Maybe we can offer her some perks in lieu of a salary increase. Like working a few days from home or four 10-hour work days each week.

Lily: That’s an interesting idea for sure. Have you ran it by amanda? What does she think?

Imani: Amanda tends to be a bit more conservative in her thinking, so…

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. Well, look, I mean, I respect amanda a great deal, and I trust her judgment implicitly. That’s why I wanted her on this team. -Fixed. -That’s my son.

Devon: So, gwen, I sensed from some of our earlier conversations that you have some reservations about moving forward with us.

Gwen: I have to admit, I’m concerned you might decide to consolidate your digital marketing efforts with a larger firm.

Devon: Sure, yeah, that’s completely understandable. And allow me to ease your mind when I tell you that your team does amazing work and your strategies have optimized every campaign we sent your way, so i have no intention at all of letting you guys go. And I’m still the one who’s responsible for making those decisions at the company, or at least the winters side of the company. You want to add something?

Nate: I was just gonna second what devon said.

Devon: Okay. Well, thank you. We truly hope that you decide to stay on board with us, ’cause we wouldn’t be the same without you.

Gwen: That’s kind of you to say.

Devon: It’s definitely the truth. So can we expect you to show up at our launch party?

Gwen: I wouldn’t miss it for the world.

Devon: Yeah?

Gwen: Thank you for your support, devon. It was nice to meet you, nate.

Nate: Oh, nice to meet you, too. I look forward to working with you.

Gwen: Same.

Devon: Alright. Thank you again for meeting us here.

Gwen: Thank you. See you soon.

Devon: Have a great rest of your day.

Nate: [ Sighs ]

Devon: Hey. How come you didn’t speak up when you had something to say?

Elena: I hope you don’t think that I feel threatened by imani. Because I don’T. I’m just fully aware that she’s interested in nate.

Amanda: Mm, who isn’t? You know, my sister is not subtle at all. I think it’s just part of her nature. And, yeah, she’s brash, she’s flirtatious, but I really don’t think she would ever cross that line. And even if she did, trust me, i would totally rein her in.

Elena: My only real competition is his new job. I mean, we used to spend so much time talking about our work days, and now things are so different. Honestly, I don’t really get the universe he’s navigating.

Amanda: Mm, I can relate. And just like you said, it is not the same thing at all, but nate’s new job and devon’s parenting, it does have a few things in common. You see, devon and dom, they have this amazing bond. It’s like they’re in their own little world, and I’m so not familiar with any of it.

[ Chuckles ] But I love seeing this side of devon. I love seeing him this happy.

Elena: Wow. That’s really inspiring. You know what? I think I’m gonna do the same thing. I am gonna focus on the positive, relax, [Chuckles] And share in nate’s joy. He was devastated when he found out he couldn’t perform surgery anymore, and now he wakes up so excited to go to work every day. So I guess it doesn’t matter if I know what “incentivizing” or “core competency” mean.

Amanda: No.

Elena: Because I do know that my guy has never been happier.

[ Chuckles ]

Allie: Oh, hey, you two. Where’s harrison? I didn’t see him at home.

Summer: He is on a playdate at my dad’s house.

Allie: Oh, well, apparently harrison has a more active social life than I do.

[ Both laugh ]

Summer: You two should make a playdate of your own. He’s a big fan of yours.

Kyle: Yeah, when he gets home, I’m sure he’ll talk your ears off about all the fun adventures he had today.

Diane: Allie.

Allie: Diane. Hi, I didn’t know you were still in town.

Diane: Oh, I’m sure there’s quite a few people who wished I’d cut my visit short.

Kyle: Well, she extended her stay at my request. We’ve spent so much time apart, I thought we could use the opportunity to get to know each other better.

Summer: Kyle and I are headed back to the house. Do you need a lift?

Diane: No, don’t go. Please stay. I was really hoping we could catch up.

Allie: Um, yeah, yeah, okay. I’ll see you guys back at the house.

Phyllis: Obviously I’m digging myself in a hole here.

Jack: Then stop.

Phyllis: I mean, I don’t want to leave here with you thinking these things about me. It’s horrible. Jack, this is real. We are real. When I made love to you, that was real. I like who I am around you, whether, you know, we’re laughing or…eating doughnuts under the clouds.

Jack: You still haven’t answered my questions. Why did you change your mind about us being together?

Phyllis: Okay, so you want to know why I threw caution to the wind and went for you so hard. That’s what you want to know. Okay, well, you better pull up a chair, ’cause I have a lot of things to say.

Jack: Sounds like a lot of rationalizing.

Phyllis: No, it’s not rationalizing. You listen to me. I mean, I — I love being around you. And you’re special and — and i like what we have, and…I like that you accept me and you trust me for the most part.

[ Chuckles ] And you still like me when I’m irrational and I fly off the handle, which is a lot of times.

Jack: Phyllis, you can talk all day, trying to convince me there’s no truth to the words you hurled at diane. I heard them all. We cannot get around the fact that you have held me at a distance for months now. And suddenly, you changed your mind. Something changed that.

Phyllis: But, see, who cares what it was or when, why, how? It doesn’t matter. Why does that possibly matter? I want you. I do. And diane coming into town, yeah, I mean, that did help. It made me see what was in front of me, because I’ve been running away from it for so long. We’re happy, right? I’m the happiest I’ve been in a really long time. Aren’t you happy?

Jack: You know how happy I’ve been.

Phyllis: Okay. Then that’s all that matters. That we’re happy. We’ve come so far. Please don’t tell me you want to give up on us now. It’s still the eat fresh refresh,

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Allie: Thanks for paying for coffee. You really didn’t need to do that.

Diane: Oh, after everything that’s happened, we both know i owe you more than a cup of coffee. I — I feel I owe you an apology, too. I blind-sided you. Without any preparation or warning, you found out you had an entire extended family. It — it wasn’t a very nice thing to do. And I’m sorry.

Allie: It’s okay. Actually — actually, no, it’s not okay. It was extremely self-serving of you. I made my own decision to come to genoa city and get to know my family, and so far, it’s — it’s been pretty good.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Well, I’m glad to hear that.

Allie: Thanks.

Diane: And I’m not at all surprised. The abbotts are warm and loving. And I wouldn’t have introduced you to your grandfather if i hadn’t known that he’d be thrilled to learn of your existence and to welcome you with open arms.

Allie: Yeah, but that does not change the deceptive way you went about it.

Diane: You’re right. I should’ve handled it differently. I could’ve explained the situation to you and given you a choice, and the only reason i didn’t is —

Allie: Is because you wanted to get something out of it. You wanted to use me to your advantage.

Diane: You’re right. I did.

Adam: I admire your hopeful enthusiasm.

Sally: Oh, is that what i have?

Adam: Mm-hmm. In abundance. But we are facing a real setback. If ashland’s not around to occupy victoria’s time, I cannot envision my father deciding to put me in charge.

Sally: Yeah, but how can he not see that you’re the right person for the job? I mean, you have all the leadership qualities that he wants. You have innovative ideas and sometimes — forgive me for saying this — but you can be a little nasty.

Adam: [ Clears throat ]

Sally: You embody all the essential qualities of a ceo.

Adam: Uh, well, thank you.

Sally: You’re welcome.

Adam: But you are still fairly new around here. You haven’t seen how many times my father has dangled the ceo position in front of me, only to rip it away at the last second. I mean, he’s like a bull fighter waving that thing in front of me.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Okay. Well, the next time you have a shot at the ceo title, you are gonna succeed because you have something now that you’ve never had before.

Adam: Oh, yeah, what’s that?

Sally: Me.

Adam: Well, I cannot argue with that.

Sally: You have been fighting this fight all on your own. But now you have me on your team, and we are unbeatable.

Adam: Yes, we are.

Sally: So we just have to come up with a spectacular plan “b” to get you in the big office in the big chair, just like you deserve. But you know the best part? We have time. We’re not desperate. I mean, look around, you are running newman media and succeeding. And I absolutely love working with you. So we should just appreciate what we have while keeping our eyes on the prize. And be patient. And go slow.

Nate: I was about to jump in and make some suggestions about growing the business relationship in light of the merger, but I thought better of it.

Devon: How come?

Nate: The timing didn’t seem right. Gwen was already saying she was unnerved by all the changes. Last thing she needed was a flood of new ideas coming from someone she had just met. Probably not too reassuring while you’re trying to convince her that things weren’t gonna be all that different.

Devon: That makes a lot of sense. Very smart of you. I appreciate it. But I want you to know that I do value your opinion, and when you have thoughts, I want to hear them.

Nate: Doesn’t mean you won’t shoot them down, though, right?

Devon: No, it doesn’t, ’cause it doesn’t mean they’re gonna be good. But I do promise that I’ll always listen to you.

Nate: Cool. Well, guess we’d better head over to the meeting at the grand phoenix.

Devon: Yeah, let’s do it.

Lily: Who is in charge of the swag bags for the launch?

Imani: I’m pretty sure nate volunteered, which means they’ll get done and get done right.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] I know, he’s really hit the ground running, right? He’s been such a great addition to the team.

Imani: Don’t expect me to be objective as far as nate hastings goes. I’ve been a fan since he was dr. Askmdnow.

Lily: Oh, do you know it was my idea to have him be the spokesperson? I had to beg him to take the job.

[ Chuckles ]

Imani: Well, you couldn’t have made a better choice. There’s just something about nate that makes you feel like you can trust him with your life.

Phyllis: I mean, I think what we have is worth fighting for.

Jack: Who do you think we’re fighting? Diane? Are we supposed to stay together for the very reason we apparently got together — to spite her?

Phyllis: That’s not my point at all.

Summer: Hi.

Phyllis: Hey.

Jack: Hey. Where’s harrison?

Kyle: He’s on a playdate with christian.

Phyllis: Oh, with christian. That’s sweet.

Summer: What’s going on here? Did we interrupt something?

Phyllis: No. I have to get back to the hotel. Unless maybe —

Jack: Don’t let me keep you.

Phyllis: Alright.

Kyle: Sorry, dad. I get the feeling our timing wasn’t exactly the best.

Jack: It’s nothing for you to worry about. Phyllis and I said everything that needs to be said.

Summer: That doesn’t sound good. I’m gonna go catch up with my mom. Jack, I’ll see you later.

Jack: So did you get to the office today?

Kyle: Not yet. I was gonna go in later this afternoon.

Jack: Good. How’s the rest of your day going?

Kyle: Better than yours, i think. Want to tell me what’s going on? From the very first touch.

Kyle: Are you going to tell me what happened?

Jack: Gee, what makes you think something happened?

Kyle: It’s pretty obvious something’s going on between you and phyllis.

Jack: You know what? Don’t worry about it. Phyllis and I will work our way through it.

Kyle: I’m sure you can. But I’m happy to lend an ear if you want. God knows you’ve been a patient listener these past few weeks while I struggled with how to handle this situation with my mother.

Jack: Actually, that reminds me of something I wanted to tell you.

Kyle: If it’s about my mother and ashland making each other’s acquaintance, I already heard. Summer and I ran into her at the crimson lights. She told me that you warned her about keeping her distance from ashland.

Jack: I made it as clear to her as possible that man is poison.

Kyle: Dealing with him is the last thing she needs while she’s trying to put her life back together.

Jack: Uh-huh.

Kyle: Dad, I can tell you’re still thinking about phyllis. Sure you don’t want to talk about it?

Jack: Remember the other day I told you that I wasn’t at all confident things would go smoothly for the two of us? That was ’cause phyllis is so unpredictable, and actually more accurately, she’s so completely predictable.

[ Cellphone rings ] This is andrew in r&D. I better take this.

Kyle: Go ahead.

Jack: Hey, andrew. I got the brief that you sent me. Yeah, those are some pretty clever ideas.

Diane: It seems like you had a chance to get to know my son.

Allie: Yeah, yeah, kyle’s great. And so is summer. They make a lovely couple.

Diane: Yes, they do.

[ Chuckles ] It’s so wonderful to see kyle in a healthy, stable, loving relationship. He didn’t have the benefit of being raised in that environment. As hard as I tried, I just couldn’t provide him with that example. And neither could jack, despite all his wonderful qualities. But I’m just so relieved that, against all odds, kyle found that magic.

Allie: Yes, they seem quite happy.

Diane: Yeah, and harrison.

[ Chuckles ] I’ve only met him a few times, but, oh, he’s adorable. He doesn’t know I’m his grandmother yet, but hopefully soon, and we decided that he’s going to call me deedee.

Allie: Wow. Well, I guess everything seemed to have worked out quite well for you. I hope it was worth whatever it took for you to become part of their lives.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] Okay, alliE. I — I do feel a sense of responsibility towards you.

Allie: You do?

Diane: Yes. And that’s why I wanted to check in and see how you’re doing and make sure you have everything you need. And the abbotts are kind and generous, but there is a lot going on in that house. And I don’t know, it might be easy to feel overlooked.

Allie: Listen, diane, I don’t mean to be unkind here, but if i needed something, I’d be more likely to go ask the abbotts than you.

Diane: Would you? Really? Because you don’t strike me as the kind of person who’d want to call attention to yourself.

Devon: So how was your visit with jill?

Lily: It was good, really good. Yeah. She’s happy with the merger and loves the roll-out marketing plan, and I guess the board loves it, too.

Devon: That’s great. That’s great. It’s full steam ahead for us then.

Lily: Yeah. And then billy brought me up to speed on the compromise that you reached. So I guess we’ll just figure out which initiatives to launch first and how to fit their announcement into our agenda.

Nate: We could do it after lily and devon’s welcome speech, let everyone know what makes the new company special.

Imani: That’s a good idea.

Devon: I don’t know if it is. Do we not want to build up to it?

Nate: Well, we can fit it in after the introductions of our management team.

Imani: That’s brilliant, and then they can each introduce the platform.

Lily: Well, I mean, it could work, but I wonder, do we save it for a bigger finale moment?

Nate: Sure, then we can end with the video and the big reveal of our new logo.

Imani: Perfect, because —

Amanda: Imani, can you help me with this text? I just need to draft a response. Just over here.

Imani: What is it?

Amanda: I already told you before. Don’t let me tell you again. Ease up on nate. He has a live-in girlfriend that he loves very much.

Imani: So you’ve said.

Amanda: You have already made your interest known repeatedly, and it stopped being cute a long time ago.

Imani: No one asked your opinion.

[ Knock on door ]

Phyllis: Jack.

Summer: You were hoping it was jack, weren’t you?

Phyllis: I was not hoping it was jack. I was not. We spent most of the day together, and I came back here. I have a lot of work.

Summer: Really, then what are you doing in your suite? Mom, the tension between you and jack was more than obvious, so spill. What’s the story?

Imani: You know what? I’ve had enough of your advice. We’re all adults here. We get to make our own choices.

Amanda: Well, stop making such bad ones.

Imani: You may be my boss and my sister, but you are not my conscience, so back off.

Amanda: Imani, you —

Lily: So we need an update on the logo.

Nate: The final version should be done later today, then we’ll add it to our marketing pieces.

Imani: Well, I’m happy to double check the clearance on all the video footage if you’d like. Just let me know if there’s anything you need.

Allie: [ Sighs ] Please don’t take this the wrong way, but I don’t completely trust you. And not that I’m angry or upset with how things turned out, but I have been warned about you. And although you were wonderfully nice to me in la, you were also lying.

Diane: I get it. It makes perfect sense to keep your guard up around someone you just met who made your acquaintance under false pretenses. But it can’t hurt to have new friends, right? And I am hoping that someday down the road, you might accept me as one of them.

Phyllis: You’re lovely to check on me. Nothing’s going on, you know? It — it’s — it’ll work itself out.

Summer: I am not buying this phony positivity. I can see that you are upset.

Phyllis: Oh, come on. I’m emotional, summer. You know that about me. Don’t worry about it. It — it’s nothing, really.

Summer: You know, mom, we’re a lot alike. This is reminding me of when i was dealing with all of sally’s scheming. I was desperately trying to keep all of my anxiety inside.

Phyllis: That’s not the same.

Summer: Okay, well, if it’s no big deal, then you should have no problem telling me what’s going on.

Phyllis: Summer! Summer! I said it’s not a big deal. Drop it. Really.

Summer: [ Sighs ] No. Not until you tell me what is going on.

Phyllis: I don’t want to get into this with you.

Summer: Why?

Phyllis: Summer, something is very wrong. I screwed up.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Britt? What the hell just happened? Now that’s an entrance. Hello, port charles! Whew! That was cute. Yeah? No. Can someone get me out of this pool? Someone’s coming. Mom, what is it? As long as it’s not bad news. Oh, my god. It’s true. Nina is willow’s mother. Michael: Mom? You okay?

[ Exhales deeply ]

[ Sighs ] Oh, that look on your face better not be disappointment. No, I’m — I’m always happy to see you. You know that. But you’d be happier if nina was here. Did she come by here? Not today. Yeah, ’cause I called her, sent texts, and then she didn’t get back to me. You’re worried about the hearing? I just — I just think she would have, you know, told me if the judge, you know, ruled. Well, maybe it’s still going on. You could head over there and offer your support. I already did that, and, uh, I just made it worse. I’m fine. Fine. You sure? Yeah. I’m just trying to decompress from the day.

[ Sighs ] Tell me about it. Hey. Hey. So how’d it go? We won. Nina’s petition was denied. And she has no one to blame but herself. Well, congratulations. It really does feel like a victory, doesn’t it? I mean, after everything she put us through, all that crap she spewed on the stand, it’s over. Nina can never stake claim to our family again. Oh. I can’t believe you beat me again. You know, maybe we should just play a different game. Like what? I don’t know. I’m just throwing this out there — volleyball? No way. Why not? You’re too good. Oh, finally, a little respect.

[ Both laugh ]

[ Cellphone chimes ] Ah, who could that be? Um, cameron? You guessed it. He texts a lot. This is esme’s jacket. Esme? Spencer. Spencer: Esme? That’s weird. This door is never locked. Who would have done that?


Ohh!

[ Grunts ] Don’t worry about me. Britt, are —

[ Grunts ] Are you okay? Do I look like I’m okay? Dante, feel free to arrest that guy at any time. Involving the law seems a little bit extreme. He could have killed me! Don’t be dramatic. I’m sorry? He’s obviously part of the entertainment. He was just doing a really cool stunt. I, for one, am thoroughly entertained. Arrest him. Uh, okay. First things first. Dude, can you get out of the pool, please? Yeah, yeah. Just give me a sec. I’m a little tied up here. Yeah, well, then get on getting un-tied-up. Yeah, working on it.

[ Straps jingling ] Okay, man, come on. Out of the pool. I’ll give you five seconds. Let’s go. Here, I’ll count. Five, four, three, two — alright, okay! Alright. Okay, there, there. It’s official. I’m completely free. Not for long. Cody. Dante? Whoa. I don’t believe this. Look, if there’s one thing we’ve learned, nina is not gonna disappear quietly into the sunset. Yeah, well, she took her best shot, and she lost. So can we please stop talking about nina and go home and celebrate with wiley?

[ Sighs ] If only it were that simple. Why isn’t it? Hey, michael, I was hoping to talk to you. Can I steal you for a sec? Sure. If this is about the hearing… uh, yes and no. Um… it’s mostly about elq. That hearing sounds like a nightmare. Yep, it was. Maybe it’s naive of me, but… things seemed simpler back in nixon falls, didn’t they? When you had a problem with a neighbor, you worked it out across the fence. Over a nice, cold beer at the tan-O.

[ Chuckles ] And families duked it out at thanksgiving, not in court. And lawyers get their fees, and everybody walks away like they lost, even when they won. That must have been excruciating, standing up for nina, knowing what it would do with your relationship to your son. Yeah, it was really bad. Be honest, though — if you could go back and do it all over again, would you make a different choice? Esme. You in there? Guess not.

[ Breathlessly ] Ava. What are you, uh — hi. Hello. W-what exactly were you doing in there?


Here you go. Oh, thanks. Really, brad? What? He looks cold. I’m sorry about getting you all wet, but in my defense, I was told that the pool was gonna be clear.

[ Scoffs ] Well, it wasn’T. Yeah, I see that now.

[ Sighs ] What the hell are you doing here, man? I was working. As a skydiver? When I have to, yeah. A jack of all trades. Exactly. What about you? Where did dante falconeri end up? Besides port charles. Okay, this little catch-up of y’all’s is really cute, but can you go ahead and arrest him now? Get out of town. You’re a cop? Guilty as charged. You, an officer of the law? Dante, I swear, if you don’t do something —

[ Chuckles ] That is hilarious. Well… how about now?

[ Chuckles ] Funny now or, uh…

[Claps shoulder] Not so much? Hey. So, how are you feeling after all this? Um, mainly relieved. I just can’t wait to move forward, get on with our lives. It got pretty intense with nina. How fully did I lose it? I’ve never seen you that angry. I don’t think I’ve ever been that angry. I mean, for us to go through what we did and then have nina come begging after the fact — like, really, nina? Now? After having her lawyer say in open court that michael was violent toward women, that nelle, a psychotic murderer, was cowering in the shadows with her baby because she was scared of him? Why would I ever let her near my child after she did that to wiley’s father? Look, I’m not gonna tell you what to do when it comes to your dad. I’m not gonna tell you what to do when it comes to anything, for that matter. If you want to take sonny down, that is your call. Okay. But I can’t have you distracted, michael. I mean, this is a high-risk business venture, okay? You and I, we’ve got to be present. We’ve got to be focused with this, and if whatever’s going on with your dad gets in the way of that, then I’m gonna have a problem with it. Alright. I heard you. I’d like you to know where I’m coming from. Fair enough. Nina lie d to my familyfor six months. She carried on a romance with sonny in nixon falls while we grieved a man we thought was dead. I understand that. She also came and visited wiley under false pretenses. She took advantage of our willingness to give her a second chance. That is why we fought this petition. Nina’s a bad influence and not a person we wanted in wiley’s life. And as his parents, that is our choice to make. I couldn’t agree more with that. Thank you. Sonny disagrees, and today, he got on the stand, and he testified on nina’s behalf. Uh — it doesn’t surprise me at all that you’re furious about this. But michael, you — you’ve had this campaign against your dad way before today’s hearing. You’re right. Would I change anything? I kept asking myself that when I walked out of the courtroom. And? No, I wouldn’T. And I know that probably makes me look like a traitor, especially in michael’s eyes. But I see it as, you know, being true to what I believe. Did you say that in your testimony? I just said that I-I thought that wiley deserves to have more love, not less, and people should put him first. And even if you make mistakes, you should, you know, learn by them and then lead by example. No one’s perfect. Amen to that. And that includes me. But I’m not gonna apologize for who I am. I’m not gonna sit back and watch a loving grandmother be cut out of her grandson’s life. It’s wrong. Wow. Nina means that much to you? Wiley means that much to me. And I just hope that he — he grows up. And I just want him to be not just michael’s son or my grandson. I want him to be his own man. You know, wiley, you are so lucky that you don’t have a girlfriend who drives you crazy. I have a girlfriend. Who? You. Oh. And do I drive you crazy? Not today. Oh, not today. Good to know. You know what else I know? What? You’re gonna be a real heartbreaker when you grow up. What’s a heartbreaker? Actually, wiley, I have an idea. Do you want to take a little trip? Where? You’ll see. Come on, let’s clean up.

[ Doorbell rings ] What the hell? You did not have to come all the way out here. Based on your text, clearly I did. What happened with esme? Everything was going great, I swear. I cut a deal with ava to get esme and me out of the house, and in exchange, I was going to get access to my trust fund. Plus, it would have the added benefit of giving me and esme more time together. It was a win-win-win. Okay, that’s perfect. Shows esme that you care. Where’d it go wrong? Esme started tearing into trina. I couldn’t help it. I lost my cool, and I took off. Where? I went for a ride to clear my mind. Oh, I’m assuming on horseback, because…you’re you. I realized that I messed up, so I came back to try to talk things out, and now she’s gone. Esme’s left the island? I don’t know. Her suitcase is right there, and I can’t find her. It’s like she vanished. Is spencer with you? I thought I heard his voice. Oh, you did.

[ Door closes ] He’s looking for esme. Have you seen her? Esme? Yes. No, I haven’T. You seem nervous, nikolas. I’m just — I’m getting my bearings. I was…doing some reading, and then I fell asleep. With the door locked? Was it locked? Mm-hmm. The wind must have blown it shut, locking it by accident. Well, that must have been some nap. Your hair’s all mussed up, and you missed a button. Should we go downstairs? No, no. Let’s — let’s stay, okay? It’s quiet here and private. Perfect for what I have to say.

[ Sighs ] I think you made your feelings pretty clear when you threatened to walk out. Yeah. Nikolas, about that.

[ Quiet clatter ] Wha– what was that?


You’re messing with me, right? No, man. Reckless endangerment. You could have actually hurt someone. Me. That someone is me. Dude, this is a legit gig. Alright, if you have an issue, take it up with the people who hired me. Officer: Need a hand, detective? Uh, no. Thanks, officer. Thanks for the cuffs, though. Yeah, thanks. I know you want to get in there. But I can’T. Just a few more weeks. What? Can we sit down and talk? So, I’m just curious about the job description. Did it say “party crasher” or what? Well, I was supposed to parachute into the pool, make a big splash — literally. But then — what is your name? It’s britt. But then britt here was smack in the middle of my landing zone. Spinelli: I mean, it’s kind of a brilliant marketing strategy, if you ask me. You know, a singles event with eligible men literally raining from the sky. I mean, not — not that I took any pleasure in how it transpired. And of course, the chief concern is that you’re okay, yes? I’m fine. See? She’s fine. But I could have drowned. So off to jail you go now. Bye-bye.

[ Claps hands ] Come on, man. You’re not really doing this, are you? Nina is certifiable. In one breath, it’s, “please take pity on me. You’re wonderful parents.” And then in the next, it’s, “just kidding. Michael is a woman and child abuser.” Yeah, she’s a piece of work, that’s for sure.

[ Sighs ] And I am just done. She’d better not show up or try to contact us. The judge made her decision. It’s over. I couldn’t agree more. And all that matters now is wiley and giving him the best childhood as possible. That is 100% the plan. I knew sonny was different after nixon falls. But the first time I realized I didn’t know who he is anymore was at nina’s trial when he defended her. A few weeks later, he slept with her. And a few weeks after that, sonny and my mom were divorced. And you are furious on your mom’s behalf. No, no, I’m furious myself for all the years wasted believing in sonny, believing in his honor, his loyalty, his love. But I see sonny for exactly what he is now. He’s a criminal with a long line of luck. This is where his luck ends, and I’m going to see to it. Okay, well, that’s where I step in, alright? ‘Cause I know what’s going on. Dante told me that you plan to use elq to go after sonny. And you don’t want any part of that? No, I don’t want any part of that. Look, I’m not just some guy that you work with, right? You got to remember, I’m your uncle. And yes, obviously, I want to protect elq, but way more than that, I want to protect you. I’m good, thank you. Just — just hear me out, please. Look, honestly? I mean, sonny and I have never really been all that close, even when I thought I was jason, and I agree with you. I agree that he’s acted badly, and I am going to stop short of saying that he failed his family, because this is a complicated — this is a tricky situation. That is exactly what he did. Well, a lot of people close to you don’t feel the same way. So the harder that you push sonny, the harder it’s going to be for dante, for christina, and especially for avery and for donna. I mean, they’re too young to be able to grapple with all this. Loving my siblings and propping sonny up are two very different things. I’m not asking you to prop sonny up. That is what we do every time we pretend that sonny is a legit coffee importer. Look, I’m not a gangster. I’m not going to go in guns blazing. I’m a businessman, and I’m a better one than he is. I’m gonna outmaneuver sonny. And I’m gonna do it without elq. Are you sure about that? I’m not gonna let my issues with my father get in the way of our business together. So you keep them separate, right? Because our company and everybody that depends on us can’t be used in some way to punish sonny. Understood. I don’t need to read a transcript to know your heart’s in the right place. I saw it for myself in nixon falls, the way you stood up to elijah when he was trying to take advantage of us, how you treated us like family. When lenny got sick… you are family. Hell, you almost died when you pulled nina and me from that fire. Make sure you tell wiley that one day. I have a feeling that you’ll get a chance to tell him that yourself.

[ Telephone rings ] Charlie’s pub. Yes, that’s me. Oh, hi, mr. Baldwin. No, she hasn’t come in. I see. Yes, of course I will. Bye. Scott? Nina lost.

[ Sighs ] I cannot believe that you let esme get inside your head again. I do not need a lecture, okay? Not today. It was bad enough seeing trina with officer what’s-his-face at the gallery. Trina was with rory? There was nothing going on, but I didn’t love it. And then to come home and have esme rip into her — look, trina does not need you defending her honor. She can take care of herself. I know that. Clearly, you don’T. Meanwhile, my brothers are very upset with my mom being away, and joss goes into combat mode every time I suggest that you’re not evil incarnate. I’m sorry. I know that this is rough on you. Look, I don’t need your sympathy, okay, spencer? What I need you to do is expose your girlfriend already. It — it must have been the bats! Bats? This is the time of afternoon that they come out. We should be grateful — they eat all of the insects.

[ Chuckles ] Well, I’ll be sure to send a thank-you note. Bats. Vermin with wings. Now, will you join me downstairs? In a minute. Nikolas, I need to apologize. I’m sorry that I threatened to walk out on you. I didn’t mean it. I’m — I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have done that.


Amantha, might you be ableto persuade your beau that there’s no need for such drastic measures? What? I agree. Let muscles off with a warning. Or a good spanking. Dante: Okay, sorry, the law’s the law. But, uh, let’s go. I’ll do you the favor of not arresting you in front of an audience, okay? Wait. I’m coming with you. Okay. This your girlfriend? Yeah. Sam, cody. Cody, sam. Ah. The pleasure’s all mine. And we’re out of here. Let’s go. Britt: Enjoy lock-up. So much for finding true love, huh? Yeah. Happily ever after is hard to come by. Makes me wonder. What? Maybe it’s better to just quit while you’re ahead. You know, save yourself the agony. It’s definitely a smart play. Unfortunately, finn was always the smart one in the family. Hey. Everything okay? Willow: Everything’s great. Everything turned out the way it was meant to for everyone involved. You ready to go home? So ready. Mommy, daddy! Oh! Hey, buddy. Wiley, what are you doing here? I brought him. I figured that you’d want to see him. I hope that’s okay. More than okay. Thank you. You know what? You are a sight for sore eyes. Why are your eyes sore? They’re not.

[ Laughter ] Yeah, michael. Come on, man. What gives? Stop. I heard the news. I’m sorry. Um… can you call me and text me, and I’ll be right there.

[ Exhales deeply ] Do me a favor. If she comes here, just let me know, will you? Where are you going? I’m gonna find her. You’re worried. So am I. But possibly, nina may not want to be found. Maybe the point is for her to be alone right now… mm-hmm. …To process, to grieve, to scream. Last time she was this angry, she went straight to nixon falls. But doesn’t that prove my point? I need to be with her.

[ Sighs ] You don’t even know where to start, sonny. That’s where you’re wrong.

[ Door closes ] Aren’t you gonna say something? I thought it was over. Th at you were gonna give up on us. No, I — I guess I was thinking about it. But then I went to the firing range to blow off some steam, and I ran into your mother. And laura told me that you asked her to write a letter of recommendation to the adams day school for avery. Yeah, I-I knew my mother would be happy to help. Turns out she knows the headmistress. Yeah. That’s what she said. So the letter’s already sent, and she has a call in to the director of admissions. And that’s great. I mean, I’d — I’d really like avery to go to adams. But hearing what you did without making a big fuss or wanting any credit, it was a real wake-up call for me. It reminded me how thoughtful and generous you can be. After my anger cooled down, I was able to hear your mother’s sage advice. Are you sure it wasn’t a lecture?

[ Chuckles ] Maybe a little bit of both. But it got me thinking, and not that we don’t have real issues to work through, because we do. But I have never been a quitter, and I do not intend to start being one now. Do you?


Okay, so you’re notsome world-famous physician like your brother, but you’re smart in other ways. How so? Like knowing when to step in and save me from blowing it with valentin. You sacrificed so much, chase, to protect bailey from peter. Yeah, but not necessarily smart. Heroic, then. Maybe I was wrong. About? The whole “quitting while you’re ahead” thing. Maybe it’s the exact opposite. You know, you need to jump in more, think less. I can do that. Yeah? Yeah. In fact, I’m gonna make the leap right now. I will do everything I can, brook lynn, to help you get your music back. Here you go. More coffee? I assure you, it is the best way through. And you know what? I-I have a prediction. What’s that? That one day, we’ll look back on the events of today and have only fond memories. Oh, yeah, I will.

[ Scoffs ] Don’t go getting any ideas. He is all mine. For a second, I thought you were actually gonna haul me in. Oh, well, for a second there, I actually was gonna haul you in. A tip, if I may? Hit me. Well, next time you decide to jump out of an airplane for money, make sure you don’t jump into a pool, public or private. Noted. Hmm. You know, you’re really lucky that dante had an extra change of clothes in his car. Hmm. Yeah. Gracias, compadre. Mm. Well, you’re welcome, but I want them back. Yeah. Bummer. So that, uh, britt woman. She’s something else, huh? Well, that’S… one way to put it.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Yeah, you should be thanking us. Actually, we, uh — we saved you from her wrath. Alright, well, I’ll pay you back by letting you buy me dinner. Oh, cool. Yeah. All that commotion’s really got me starving. Hey, uh, phyllis. Hi. I just wanted you to meet a friend of mine, cody. Hi. Nice to meet you, cody. You too. Hey, uh, everything okay? Nina? Did you have fun with aunt josslyn? We played a game, and I won. You did? Actually, I demand a rematch. Thank you so much for taking care of him while we were… indisposed. Yeah. Yes, of course, anytime. Is everything good? What were you doing here? Well, you weren’t the only one playing a game. Your mommy and daddy won, too.

[ Gasps ] You did? We did. Oh, thank god. Oh, I’m so happy that… you know, the game worked out the way we hoped. So are we. You’re right. I can’t keep ping-ponging from esme to trina and then back again. If I’m gonna make this work, I need to show esme that I am all in. It just drove me crazy seeing trina at the gallery with that cop. Spencer, I’m gonna say something, and I need you to hear me. I’m going back to take care of jake and aiden, but I will not — I repeat, I will not lose joss because you can’t keep your head in the game. Do whatever it takes at this point, okay? I don’t care. Confess to trina. Suck it up to esme. Just make it happen tonight. Or I will. What brought on this change of heart? I just told you. Right. My mother and a letter of recommendation. And me. Why didn’t you tell me this before? Before what? Before we came so close to losing what we have. Well, I’m telling you now. That’s got to count for something. It counts for everything. And yes, we — we still have issues, and of course we need to discuss them. But — but not here. Come with me. You won’t regret it. Oh, how wrong you are, nikolas. Ava will regret it.

[ Scoffs ] And so will you.


Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You have the hots for parachute guy? Not that I blame you, but those weren’t the vibes I was getting. I’m interested, but only to the extent that he completely proved my point. I mean, what’s better evidence that true love is a total lie than some cynical attempt to try to sell it with stunts? There was nothing cynical about it. Yeah, what’s wrong with a little romance? And bonus if it’s wrapped in a package as drool-worthy as candy’S. Cody. Whatever. His name could be elmer for all I care. Okay. I’m going to sue him for assaulting me. Okay, I think “assault” is a bit of a stretch. Even if I have to sue him for every stitch of clothing he’s not wearing. Everything copacetic? Uh, yeah, just, uh… just some family stuff. Well, let me know if I can help. So, who are you? Cody bell. We met at the pool? Um, I know, I know. Just an hour ago, I didn’t even know you existed, and now you and dante seem to be picking up right where you left off.

[ Chuckles ] Well, you know how it is when you’re friends from childhood — you’re…literally growing up together. And getting in trouble together. Yeah, that too. Maybe I do think too much. You do. I should start seizing the moment more. Yeah, there’s no time like the present.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Sighs ] It’s my brother. He’s having a tough time with everything going on with elizabeth. You should go be with him. Really? Really. Okay, uh… okay. Thanks. Uh, yeah. Um, and tomorrow, it’ll be all about you and me and getting the goods on linc. Right. And — and once we do, we can use it to get your music back. I’ll see you tomorrow. Can’t wait. Me either. So, that was quite a splashdown. Brad: I’ll say. Britt: Oh, you would. Hey, he can splash into my bath any day. Actually, technically, a tub, as it were, is — is indoors, so you can’t really splash down into it. Carly: Hey, can I get a hug goodbye? Of course she can. Oh! [ Smooches ] I love you so much. You always remember that, okay? I will.

[ Laughter ] Alright, alright. Well, I’ll walk with you guys out. Talk later? Yes, yes, yes. And I’m so happy for you guys. Congratulations. Thank you. Congratulations, guys. I’ll see you later. See ya. Goodbye.

[ Sighs ]

[ Laughs ] So — what was that little head nod? Was that — was that about the dna results, or was that because willow doesn’t know yet? It was the results. I heard from the lab. And? Nina’s not willow’s mother. Wow. I guess that’s for the best. Yeah. Oh, yeah, especially after the hearing. I mean, it was brutal. Michael did tell me a little bit about it. Sonny testified for nina? Oh, that was the least of it. And the whole ordeal happened because of nina, because of her selfishness and because she has entitlement issues. And poor willow. Willow is just exhausted and she’s angry, and she wants nina as far away from her family as possible. So it would have been awful if nina ended up being her mom. Yeah. Yeah. But she’s not. Thank god. I wonder why harmony said that she was. Harmony was a troubled woman. But it doesn’t matter where willow came from. It matters who she is today and how much she loves michael and wiley and the life they have to look forward to. Spencer: Finally. Where have you been? Around. I’ve been looking everywhere for you. Esme, there’s something that I need to tell you. That’s funny. There’s something I have to tell you, too. Nikolas, you’re acting strangely. What is going on? Hey! You’re scaring me. Spit it out. There’s something you need to know.

Ridge: I’m doing what

I’m doing because I do

love you so much.

Brooke: And I know deep down

that we’re going

to get through this, ridge.

And we’re going to have

a big and beautiful

and bright life together.

Deacon: Brooke.

[ Sighing ]

Brooke: I didn’t hear you come in.

Deacon: I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you. You just seemed like you were a million miles away.

Brooke: Hope is, uh, she’s not up here. I think she went to work.

Deacon: I didn’t come to talk to our daughter.

Brooke: Deacon–

Deacon: Uh, brooke, I know, I probably shouldn’t be here, but I– I had to see you. I mean, come on, we haven’t had a chance to talk. You’ve been ignoring my texts, my calls.

Brooke: Because we can’t be seen together, deacon. Ridge would be very upset. I can’t risk ruining a reunion with my husband.

Eric: So, you’re not ready to move back home with brooke yet?

Ridge: Dad, I just need, uh, time to figure out my future.

Eric: Uh-huh. Well, you can take all the time you need, son.

Ridge: Thank you. I just don’t want to intrude, you know?

Eric: I like having you here.

Ridge: Aah.

Eric: And don’t worry about quinn.

Ridge: I have to worry about her, it’s your wife.

Eric: This is your home, son. It always has been, it always will be.

[ Cell phone dinging ] All right. Yeah. There’s someplace I have to be.

Ridge: You just got here. What, are you going back to the club?

Eric: Yeah.

Ridge: That’s a lot of pickleball.

Eric: Yeah.

Ridge: Okay.

Eric: Taylor, hi.

Taylor: Hi, eric. I have food, are you hungry?

Eric: Mm, smells good, but I’m just on my way out.

Taylor: Okay. All right, we’ll save you a bite.

Eric: Good.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Taylor: Well, hello, handsome.

Ridge: This is a nice surprise.

Taylor: Yeah? I think you know why I’m here.

Quinn: Ah! I love that piece, you know? It’s– it’s simplicity, and it’s very delicate. It looks really fabulous on you, petra.

Petra: Thank you. And I love that it’s adjustable.

Quinn: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wanted it to be versatile, you know, so you can wear it with different necklines.

Carter: Bravo.

[ Both chuckling ] It’s another quinn fuller masterpiece.

Deacon: You did get my texts? I mean, you haven’t blocked me or anything, right?

Brooke: No, of course I didn’t block you. I just…

[ Sighing ] It didn’t feel right to respond.

Deacon: I just wanted to check and see how you’re doing. Brooke, we’ve been through so much together.

Brooke: Well, I’m not doing this to hurt you, deacon. It’s just, we both know how ridge feels.

Deacon: I know, I know.

Brooke: Especially now.

Deacon: I– I get it. I do, but we’ve gotta talk about this. Hope told me why you drank that night. You didn’t do this because you just fell of the wagon for no reason. You got pushed off by sheila.

Ridge: You’ve come to take care of me and, uh, make sure I’m eating.

Taylor: Yes, well, that’s– that’s part of it.

Ridge: Chinese. That’s good.

Taylor: Yeah, just– just remind me again that steffy leaving town was the right decision.

Ridge: Absolutely.

Taylor: Okay. Okay, good. I know it is, right? It’s the right decision. I just, I– i already miss them so much.

Ridge: Hey. I miss them too. But thomas is here, I’m here. We’re not chopped liver, so we’re gonna be all right.

Taylor: Of course you’re not. I’m very grateful for both of you.

Ridge: And I’m grateful for you.

[ Taylor chuckling ] Love your smile. Can we please eat?

[ Laughing ]

Taylor: I know you’re hungry. Yes.

Quinn: These are going to be launched next month. They’re meant to be stacked. Or not.

[ Laughing ] They’re made out of recycled gold and silver, with repurposed stones.

Petra: Very cool.

Quinn: Yeah. Carter, what do you think?

Carter: Perfection.

Quinn: Well, I think we’re done here. Um, thank you so much and, uh, here, I’ll take these. If I need anything else, I will text you. Thanks, petra.

Petra: No problem.

Quinn: Okay. Can you close the door? Whew.

Carter: I hope I wasn’t interrupting your genius.

Quinn: Uh, no, no. We were pretty much done. Do you need the office or something?

Carter: No, no, I, uh, just, uh, I wanted to see you. You know liberty mutual customizes your car insurance,

Quinn: Kills me to see you like this, carter.

Carter: Yeah, and it kills me too, quinn. I– I can’t get you out of my mind. Are you still considering going back to paris?

Carter: I don’t know. I don’t know what I’m doing, quinn. There’s only one thing I know and it’s that I can’t stop thinking about you. No matter how hard I try, I– I can’t stop wanting you.

Deacon: Part of me feels responsible. Uh, big part of me.

Brooke: Deacon, you couldn’t have anticipated any of this.

Deacon: I mean, all those conversations I had with sheila, all those times that she just happened to show up at il giardino, I didn’t notice anything? I mean, every time, she’d show up and she– she was talking just, like, so intense, in circles, crazy, and I– I didn’t pick up any of the warning signs.

Brooke: Well, she is a crazy person. She got me drunk, she threw me off my recovery. She upended my life. She got her wish.

Deacon: I should’ve protected you, brooke. If I had been more… no, I– I don’t– I just thought you were having fun. New year’s eve, you know? It was one stupid kiss, I– I never considered what the fallout would be.

Brooke: We both weren’t thinking very clearly.

Deacon: I just hate how– I hate how sheila victimized you. That she took something so precious from you. And– and I’m not talking about ridge. I’m talking about your sobriety. About your belief in yourself. I know how hard you battled to get that. I was there. I saw it. And I just let sheila stomp all over it.

Brooke: If only she hadn’t come back in town.

Deacon: So.

[ Throat clearing ] Where are things with you and ridge? Has he forgiven you?

[ Brooke sighing ] No. Well, then, maybe ridge doesn’t deserve you.

Taylor: I’ve been texting with steffy, thank you. She and the kids got off safely.

Ridge: Good. Now, don’t worry about steffy. She’s a very capable, strong, brave young woman.

Taylor: Yes, I know, I know. I… I know that this whole trip was my suggestion, but I–

Ridge: You wish she weren’t so far away?

Taylor: Yes. Yes, I– I was thinking maybe she would pick san francisco, or big sur, but…

Ridge: That would’ve been good.

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: But she needed a change, so this is okay, too.

Taylor: Yeah and, you know, kelly and hayes are going to love it. All the new sights and sounds. Experiencing different cultures and… what?

Ridge: I just want sheila to suffer.

Taylor: Mm.

Ridge: I want her to suffer for the rest of her life for what she did to steffy. Finn. And those poor, innocent kids.

Taylor: I know. We can’t– we can’t do this. We can’t let sheila have this kind of power over us, or she’ll consume our thoughts forever.

Ridge: Well, she has consumed mine. I wish she hadn’t, but she has.

Taylor: Okay, let’s focus on the positive. Some positive things. Um, when steffy and the kids come home, they’re going to feel so much better. It’s going to be so good for them, and… I get to be here and hang out with my best friend.

Ridge: That is super positive.

Taylor: Super positive. And he’s so handsome.

Ridge: Right? I was just thinking that.

Taylor: I mean, seriously, were you thinking that?

Ridge: Mhm. Mhm.

Taylor: I mean, I’m always thinking that. I brought in ensure max protein,

Deacon: I don’t think I’m ever gonna forgive myself for the pain that night caused you.

Brooke: Sheila set me up. She set us both up.

Deacon: Yeah, well, I could’ve shut it down. You would have gone to bed, that would have been the end of it. I mean, let’s be honest, the real problem was that I was here in the first place.

Brooke: Ridge can’t get over the part where I kissed you.

Deacon: Well, he should. I mean, you’ve apologized, what, like a thousand times? I mean, he’s got to get over this. E– especially now that he knows the whole story.

Brooke: Yeah, well… he moved in to eric’s, you know? Now, he just said he needs some time to figure out what to do next.

Deacon: What the hell is there to figure out? You’re his wife. You got played by some maniac. He ought to be right here. By your side, sticking by you.

Brooke: I do appreciate your support. And your concern. But right now, I’ve got to go.

Deacon: You’re going to see ridge, aren’t you?

Brooke: Yes, I am. I’m going to see my husband.

Quinn: Carter, paris is already on to you. She suspects you still have feelings for me.

Carter: And she’s right, quinn, and I deny it. I keep telling her she’s wrong, but I– I–

Quinn: It’s just the way it has to be.

Carter: I love you. I miss you like crazy.

Quinn: Carter. You need to put your game face on. You know what the consequences would be if– if anything ever happened.

Carter: I don’t wanna hurt eric any more than you do.

Quinn: We can’t! It’s not even an option. My husband is the most loyal man in the world. We can never, ever betray eric ever again.

[ Cell phone dinging ]

Taylor: What?

Ridge: I’m hungry.

Taylor: Ooh, well, you’re in luck, because I brought something delicious.

Ridge: Yeah?

Taylor: Mhm.

Ridge: I saw. From the special place.

Taylor: From the very special place.

Ridge: You know how to get to man’s heart, don’t you?

Taylor: Yeah, you take the 101 to the ten and then…

Ridge: Exit main street.

Taylor: Boom.

Ridge: Boom. I’m impressed you remember.

Taylor: Even after all these years.

Ridge: Mhm. So, you drove all the way to saint gabriel for me?

Taylor: Yes. I thought you could use some love from your favorite chinese place.

Ridge: You always knew exactly what I needed.

Taylor: I like to think I do.

Ridge: Let me heat this stuff up.

Taylor: No, it’s okay. I got it. I got it.

[ Throat clearing ]

Ridge: So, what do I owe you?

Taylor: Just the tip.

[ Laughing ]

Ridge: Okay.

[ Clearing throat ]

Brooke: Taylor. What’s going on? I’m steve, I lost 138 pounds in nine months on golo

Quinn: You and I shared some amazing times–

Carter: Yes, quinn, and I can’t stop thinking about those wonderful moments that we had.

Quinn: You have to. We both have to.

Carter: How could I forget?

You and me, uh, I think, uh,

we’re in similar situations.

We get each other.

Quinn: Yeah. We do.

Carter: I never felt the connection that we had with any woman, ever. But I, uh, I know– I know you’re, um, you’re dedicated to your marriage, quinn, and I– i respect and I admire that.

Quinn: Carter. I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t moved by you. By the way you look at me. Your words. Your… your love. Your love for me is incredible and I have never felt anything like that before. But you’re right. I’m only dedicated to eric. The same way that he is… faithfully and loyally committed to me.

[ Wine pouring ]

Brooke: So, what’s going on here? You know, ridge came here, to eric’s, to be alone. To take some time for himself. So, can you respect that? Can you just leave him alone for a second?

[ Taylor chuckling ]

Taylor: This is– this is ironic, because– because you’re here, too. I– I’m here because, um, steffy just left town with the kids.

Ridge: Yeah, we encouraged her to go. Just get out of the house, get some new experiences for her and the kids.

Brooke: Yeah. And I guess it’s probably hard being around that house with finn’s belongings and all of the memories.

Taylor: Yes. It’s so hard for steffy. She’s going to carry that pain with her wherever she goes, but the goal is for her to get away and start to heal the trauma.

Ridge: It’ll be good for her.

Taylor: Yeah. It’s so hard for her, and she’s trying to be so strong for kelly and hayes, but… I’m sure you can understand how hard this is on our daughter and our grandkids, right?

Brooke: Of course, taylor. I care about steffy. My heart goes out to her. Nobody should ever have to go through what she had to face.

Taylor: Thank you, brooke.

Brooke: So, chinese food?

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah, I picked up, uh, ridge’s favorite chinese. Yeah.

Brooke: Mm. You’re having dinner together.

Taylor: We are.

Brooke: How long are you planning on staying, taylor?

Taylor: Brooke, I– our daughter’s husband just died in a tragic shooting, and she just took her kids overseas so that they can begin to heal from the trauma. And, you know, ridge and I need a little time to process this, too. Right, ridge? Come on. Do you want to tell brooke? Do you want to tell her that we need some time?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 hey. Ahh! Finally. Where have you been? Uh, deception. I got stuck on a call with home and heart. I thought maybe you had an attack of common sense and decided to skip this ordeal. What — what ordeal? Looks like everyone’s having a good time. Look closer. Britt, what’s the problem? Simple. I don’t know what I’m doing here. Uh, staying open to possibilities? If you’d only just put yourself out there, you would have guys falling all over you. Is that even what I want? Well, you’ll never know unless you try. Come on, britt. We’ve both been through hell, and we deserve some good karma. What’s better karma than donating to a worthy cause while sipping cocktails by the pool? I will give you that one. These drinks are delicious. Hm. Okay, um, you just need to follow my lead. Forget the past and look to the future.

[ Scoffs ] I’m looking forward, and I like what I see. Maxie: Hi. Austin: This is for you. Thank you. Hey. So glad you made it. Thanks. Mm. Are you okay? Better all the time. Brad is coming with my next drink. Sorry that took so long. Ooh.

[ Sighs ] I know you don’t like austin for maxie. Yes, that’s — that’s exactly it. You know, maxie is the — is the mother of my child. I’ll — I’ll always be protective of her. Uh, drew, drew, drew, come — come join us. Hey. Spinelli, look at you. Hey. Aw. You look amazing. You look so good. Sam, goes without saying that you look even better. Thank you. That’s always nice to hear. It’s the truth. It’s so wonderful to see you. I-I-I can’t wait to hear about everything you’ve got going on. I swear, I’m not mad at you. Okay, I-I’m not mad at you anymore. We both got a little heated. Yeah, we definitely need to clear the air. You first.You first.

[ Clears throat ] Okay, I’ll go first. Great. I’m listening. Judge foster said she didn’t need a lot of time to prepare her ruling, scott. Is that good or bad? I don’t know, but we’ll know shortly.

The role of michael corinthos is temporarily being played by robert adamson.

Why weren’t there any closing arguments? Because, my dear, this is a hearing, not a trial. Apparently, judge foster heard everything she needed to make a decision. How much damage do you think scott did with that rewrite of what happened with claudia? I’m not gonna speculate. We’re just gonna have to wait for the judge to come back. Michael, where’s your mother? She said that she had an errand she needed to do. Well, must be really important. Otherwise, you know she’d be here. Well, no one thought the judge was gonna come back with a decision so fast, but I better text her. I’m sure she wouldn’t want to miss this.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Sighs ] Come on. Hello, ava. Why am I not surprised to find you at a shooting range? Same reason I’m not surprised to see you here. It’s probably a good idea, brushing up on your gun skills, given the company you’re currently keeping.

[ Chuckles ] I don’t have any idea what you’re talking about. Oh, that wasn’t you dining out with victor cassadine at the metro court? Funny. I don’t remember seeing you there. I wasn’t there, but I have sources. Apparently, you were getting pretty cozy. Planning on upgrading from nikolas to victor? Is that the plan? I’ll tell you something. Your father is certainly a lot more charming than you are. Anna: Oh, I wouldn’t say that. Valentin’s had his moments. I’m gonna go for a ride. We can talk about this after. Walk out that door, and I may not be here when you get back. No such luck.

[ Gasps ] I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that. I’m not.


Bailiff: All rise.

[ Door closes ] Please be seated. It is the opinion of this court that parents have the right to determine who is a part of their child’s life, just as they are responsible for anything that affects their child. However, the law in new york state is very clear. It allows a biological grandparent, such as ms. Reeves, to petition to see their grandchild. That law is why we’re here today and the only reason I allowed this circus to go on as long as it has. The law gives ms. Reeves the right to be heard, regardless of the merits of her case. I’ve heard both arguments, for and against visitation. The respondent party has proven that the petitioner’s presence in wiley corinthos’ life would be detrimental. I hereby deny the petitioner, nina reeves, visitation with the minor child.

[ Gavel bangs ] Oh, thank god. We won.

[ Sighs ] I’m so sorry, britt. Somebody bumped into me. I know. Don’t use this as an excuse to leave. No harm. [ Chuckles ] Just get me another cocktail. You have great reflexes. She’s like a panther. Okay, we’re gonna sit down and let you two singles mingle. Mingle.

[ Sighs ] Here. Take mine. None of it spilled. And they’re the right price — free. Thanks.

[ Sighs ] Wow, y-you got to admit, there are some hot guys here. A-and did I tell you how sexy you look in that outfit? Easy, brad. I might think you’re trying to boost my confidence. Hello, there. Didn’t you say you didn’t need a singles mixer? That you’re already seeing someone? It looks like that’s not gonna work out. Like, what do you mean? You — you — you said you guys have great chemistry. We did, but he just got a job offer in chicago. He tried to turn it down, but I told him not to. The opportunity’s just too good. Oh, uh, excuse me. Hi. I’m just gonna take this whole tray drinks. Oh, no. We need them! Oh. Look what you did. It’s okay. Anna, I’m here, as you requested. Can’t wait to see what you’ve got planned. I think you’re gonna like it. Well, anna, I would warn you not to trust him, but something tells me you wouldn’t listen. Did ava say something? Do you care? I do not. I was a little worried you were gonna stand me up.

[ Gunshots in distance ] What, you were afraid that I was gonna pay you back for all the times you disappeared on me? I have a bad habit of doing that. I’m sorry to be such a disappointment. Can I take your invitation to join you here as a sign you’re willing to give me a second chance? A second chance? I-I think that you’re on about 99 at this point. Yet here we are. Yet here we are.

[ Gunshots continues ] Choose your weapon. Oh. Am I going to need to defend myself? So, drew, sam tells me that you’re gonna be serving as scout’s swim coach. Now, okay, I-I-I know you were a navy seal, but how good of a swimmer actually are you? And a-are — are you certified to coach? And are there gonna be other kids there that are around scout’s age? And, I mean, I assume the quartermaines are gonna be heating the pool, right?

[ Chuckles ] Well, um, scout’s in the 7-and-8 group on the country club team. I’m just a volunteer coach. You know, I just pitch in when the staff there ask me to help. But I-I just want to make it fun. I don’t want it to feel like it’s olympic training. Sure. Dante: Hey, guys. Hey. I’m sorry I disappeared on you. Oh, it’s forgiven. Do you want a drink? Ooh, yeah, a-allow me. No, I-I’m good, spinelli, actually. Thanks. Uh… can I talk to you for a minute, actually? Sure. Spinelli, what’s going on? Mm? Why are you so desperate to get away from me? Oh, perish the thought. No, stop. You’re dodging my questions. What’s going on? I can admit I may have gone too far asking for your help to go after linc. You mean when you asked me to entrap linc and risk getting thrown off the force for good? Yes, that. I-it wasn’t a good idea to ask a cop, even one on suspension, to do something potentially… catastrophic. …Not strictly legal. It’s just, you’ve helped me so much in the past. I-I guess I got carried away. But you also overreacted. We can agree on that, right? Okay. Sure. Great. So we’re good, then. You do realize you never actually said you were sorry. I’m sorry. Now can we move on? I have one more thing to say about that. Of course you do. I’ve decided I’m gonna help you take linc down, after all.


So, what happened?

[ Slurping ] Brad? Hmm? You should go talk to that really hot waiter over there. Where? Are you sure it’s not gonna work with this guy? I mean, you seemed so happy about him. I’m disappointed, but it’s okay. I’m not buying it. I mean, we both know quality men are few and far between. Chet and I met by accident, we texted a lot, but we only went on one follow-up date. We weren’t officially a couple.

[ Sighs ] Love sucks. I’m definitely not talking about love. Chet and I had potential, that’s all. And I’m just sorry we’re not gonna see where that leads. This is what happens. Life offers you something, then snatches it away. And bailey and i played peekaboo this morning. Ah, I love what a happy baby she is. It’s kind of incredible considering the first year of her life was such a roller coaster. And here I am again, rambling on about my kids. I’m so sorry. No, don’t be. I-I love when you talk about your kids. You kind of light up. It’s really beautiful on you. Probably in her room, waiting for me to come looking for her.

[ Clears throat ] You changed your mind? You — you want to help me with linc? Yeah. You made me apologize to you. That’s because you needed to.

[ Scoffs ] You’re right. I did. And I accept your apology. So let’s go get that slimeball. Is there a problem? Well, that depends. Are you backing michael’s vendetta? What are you talking about? Michael says he’s gonna dismantle everything sonny’s built. I think it’s pretty unlikely michael’s gonna start firebombing sonny’s warehouse. Yeah, of course not. So, wait. I’m — I’m sorry. What does this have to do with me? Michael’s gonna use elq to target sonny. Judge foster: Mr. Baldwin, your mischaracterization of michael corinthos bordered on slander. The court is perfectly capable of reading and comprehending a criminal record. Your distortion wasted the court’s time, tried its patience, and did your client no favors. As far as the court’s concerned, this matter is closed. Court’s adjourned. We did it. It’s over.

[ Chuckling ] Oh. Oh. It was a legitimate argument. I mean, if she’d just listened… nina, listen, I’m sorry. I-I-I gave it my best shot. Michael, willow, I’m so happy for you both. Carly, what’s wrong? Willow. Michael. Please. Please reconsider. A walther ppk? It’s a classic. Yeah. How about you? Oh, I have my own. Obviously. It is a classic. Okay, so let’s decide on the rules for this little shooting competition. Whoever gets the cleanest set of kills wins. What are the stakes? Um, if you win, I’ll have dinner with you. And if you win? I don’t know. Not sure. Have to see. What if it’s a draw? It won’t be. Okay, well, you’re using your own weapon. I’ve never used this one before. You have an unfair advantage. Want me to give you a little time to practice? Yeah? Does that seem fair? That sounds fair. Okay.

[ Gun cocks ] Okay. What? That’s it? One shot? I mean, that’s your idea of practice? I only need one. You should know that about me. Once I get a feel for it, I always hit my target.


Se don’t cut meout of wiley’s life completely. You knew the risks when you took this case to court. Your petition was denied. There’s nothing left to say. I know that, legally, I have no rights to see wiley. I’m at your mercy. Oh, now you’re asking for mercy? After you had scott try to destroy michael’s reputation? Listen, I’ll take anything. Supervised visitation.

[ Scoffs ] I-I’ll come over to your house. You both can be there the entire time. Why would I ever let wiley spend time with a woman who had her lawyer tell lies about his father on the stand? All you proved today, nina, is that you will say anything, do anything to get your way. And when it doesn’t work out, then you start crying.

Then you claim you didn’t mean it or you were misunderstood. You are the one who pushed the issue by taking this to court. There is no going back now.

[ Breathing heavily ] Willow, are you okay? Michael and i are wiley’s parents, and like the judge said, it is up to us to decide what is best for him. And we do not think you can be trusted with him. It is really that simple. You can’t change this. I love wiley, and he loves me. Wiley doesn’t know any better. That’s why we are protecting him from you. Come on, nina. Let’s get out of here. Nina should really sue baldwin for malpractice. I mean, they never really had a case, and that stunt he pulled by attacking you, that totally alienated the judge. All the matters now is that it’s over. The judge found in our favor, thanks to you, diane. I agree. I didn’t want this hearing, but I am so glad it’s now legally settled. Thank yourselves. Michael, for the most part, you held up beautifully under scott’s attack. And, willow, you were nothing short of brilliant on the stand. I was fighting for wiley to make sure nina won’t have the chance to hurt our son. Why aren’t you texting me back, esme? Oh, I get it. You want me to beg. Well, that’s not gonna happen.

[ Door opens ] Ava: Nikolas! Oh, it’s you. Obviously. Have you seen your father? Thank you. You’ve always been so considerate with me.

[ Sighs ] I can’t believe that just happened. Are you alright? I mean, I knew michael was planning on cutting sonny out of his life, but I had absolutely no idea that he wanted to use elq resources to — to take him down. Are you sure? Mm. Well, michael told me he’s gonna take sonny down. He didn’t say he was gonna use elq to do it, but call it an educated guess. Look, I-I get michael’s anger towards sonny. I mean, his dad chose the woman who kept him away from his family for months over michael’s own mother. Look, if it’s a legitimate deal that benefits elq but also damages sonny, I can’t stand in michael’s way. But with that said, I would never do anything to weaken elq. Does michael know that? Whoo! It’s june, and I was hoping to get out and hike a little bit soon, and I wondered if maybe you want to come with me sometime. Yeah, absolutely. Just as long as it’s not in pautuck. I’m not ready to go back there yet. I’m sorry. I know you love the woods there. I do, but we’ll find a place here in port charles, someplace that’s new for both of us. Okay. Deal. Yeah? Yeah. Great.

[ Giggles ] Britt:

[ Giggles mockingly ] Great, great. Is there a problem, britt? No. No. By all means, do your thing. Just explain something to me first. What are you two even doing at a singles mixer? This is also a charity fundraiser. Oh, my god. I’m officially a charity case?

[ Laughs ] I’m excited you’re on board. Not so fast. I have conditions. I will keep an eye on linc, see what I can dig up. I’ll see if he’s involved in any illegal activity, but I’m not gonna set linc up in any way. I would never ask you to do that. That’s exactly what you said. Okay, fine. That — that was before. We’re moving on now. Any help that you offer is appreciated. I’m not gonna lie. I was pretty nervous going after linc myself. Now you don’t have to. Not on my watch. You’re the best. Thank you.


[ Gunshots ] How did you do? I held my own. How did you do? Eh, well. I don’t know. It’s less of a challenge when the target isn’t moving. I don’t buy that. Unlike you, who just seems so very hard to pin down.

[ Gunshots in distance ] I meant what I said. I’M… I’m ready to stay put for a while. But you’ve always liked a moving target, haven’t you? So is that even gonna work for you? Oh, it — it depends… if there’s anything to stay put for. There will be. I promise you. Okay. Shall we see who won? I think I already know the answer to that. Hold, please. No, no. I-I just — I’m just gonna grab this one, okay. Okay, okay. Cheers. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckling ] Okay, britt. Do you think you should slow down? The drinks help me mingle. I’m not here for charity.

I’m here because I’m single so why am I talking to the two of you? I am still gonna be your friend after this. Why don’t we just leave them to it? Come on. I don’t know. I’ll keep an eye on britt. We both will. Okay. I’m fine.[ Chuckling ] Okay. Alright, wingman, wingwoman, let’s find me someone. Okay. Too short. Ooh, still lives with his parents. Uh, um, had — oh, had his teeth whitened too many times. And no. Just — just no. Too many freckles. Well, thank you for the heads up. I mean, I know firsthand how easy it is to let anger consume you, and…michael doesn’t deserve that. I agree. I’ll talk to him. Hey, nina, I got to sign some court documents. Should I call liesl? I don’t want to talk to anyone. I just can’t believe it’s over. I know. Listen, it was a hard loss. I thought for sure we were gonna win. But maybe I just convinced myself of that because I couldn’t bear the thought of losing wiley forever. Well — well, maybe michael and — and willow, they’ll reconsider. I’ve got to go. Aw.

[ Sighs ] I’m still waiting, spinelli. Okay, okay, I…cannot lie to you.

[ Exhales sharply ] Yes, something is going on. But I-I’m just not — I’m not ready to talk about my new…thing just yet. Okay, just promise me you’re not in danger. Oh, no, no. Heaven forfend. It’s not anything like that. I-I promise. Can we just — we just leave it at that for now? Look at that one in that hideous shirt.

[ Laughs ] Oh, that sounds like there’s a problem. Britt, you may want to lower your voice. You’re getting a little loud. And obnoxious. What are you saying, terry? Am I causing a scene? Not yet, but you are well on your way.

[ Groans ] Well, that won’t do. Oh.

[ Glass clinking ] It’s not loud enough.

[ Sighs ] You know, we keep talking around something, and I don’t want to ignore it anymore. Me, neither.

[ Britt whistling loudly ] What’s that? Listen up, everyone! I’m gonna blow your minds. Get ready. I have no idea where my father is, though there is this hot new invention called texting. You should try it sometime. Yeah, I-I am. He’s just — he’s not responding to me. I wouldn’t, either, if I saw your name. Never mind. I’ll find him myself. Wait. Ava, we need to talk. I just tried that. It didn’t really work for me. Esme and i are moving out. Oh, good. Yes, I saw esme’s suitcase in the foyer. Uh-huh. Well, our deal is that we move out, and I get access to my trust fund. Mm, mnh. Our deal is that I give you a weekly allowance. So is there something else? Well, we’re not moving back in with my grandmother and kevin. I’m sure laura will be very happy to hear that. We plan on staying in a five-star hotel, at least for a while.

[ Laughs ] That’s what you’re gonna do with your money? Well, I don’t think that’s very wise, but you do you. Well, I’m gonna need my first payout to book the room. Mm, not gonna happen. We have a deal. You’re still here. No, you don’t get any money until you and your girlfriend are really, truly, totally, completely out. Hey, we’re going. Not until you have a new place to stay. What? You don’t trust me?

[ Chuckles ] God, no. And I trust esme even less. I can’t believe we did that. I’m so sorry. I-I never expected that to happen.

[ Sighs ] Are you okay? I’m great. If I’m being totally honest, I’ve been fighting these feelings for a while. Have you been struggling, too? I’m sorry. I just — I feel like I took advantage of you. Oh, you did not take advantage of me. If anything, you saved me. I’ve been so lonely and sad. Spence has been so cold to me, and you’ve been so kind and caring. It was nice to feel close to someone again. To feel safe in your strong arms. And I’m sorry that spence wasn’t the man I thought he was, and I’m sorry that your marriage is over, but I can’t say that I’m anything but glad that we found each other. Esme, what we did is wrong. Spencer is my son. And spence and i are finished. To be clear, that was his choice, not mine. Going forward, spence has no say in what I do. Spencer will never forgive me for this. Spence… never has to know.


What are you saying, esme? For both our sakes, spence should never find out. It’ll be our secret. Is that what you want? Even though spence has made it perfectly clear he doesn’t give a damn what I do, I… the last thing I want is to cause trouble for you. I mean, I just couldn’t resist you. You’ve been so good to me. So, now that it’s all over, how you feeling? You alright? Well, this whole thing has been draining. Nina has put us through so much. But now that it’s over, I am pretty sure I will sleep well tonight. Thank you for everything, diane.

[ Chuckles ] Yes. I-I don’t know how you do it. Nothing ever seems to rattle you. Well, that’s — that’s not entirely true, but thank you for the compliment, michael. But that’s my job — to not lose my cool. And nina gave me so much to work with. And now you two have a legal ruling. If she comes anywhere near wiley, you can have her arrested. Ugh, well, let’s hope it doesn’t come to that, but it’s good to know we have that protection. I so love it when the good guys win. Enjoy your victory. Hi. Hi. Thank you so much, diane. My pleasure, carly. And bonus points to you for holding it together during sonny’s testimony. Yeah, well, anything for wiley. Of course. Of course you’d feel that way. But I have some idea of what that cost you. Well done.

[ Exhales slowly ] Hey. Glad you were able to make it back in time for the verdict. But now we have to go celebrate.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, I definitely agree. Justice was served. What about you, willow? Any second thoughts? No. [ Chuckles ] Why would I? I know tha t you were the onewho struggled the most with denying nina contact with wiley. Oh, n-not anymore.

[ Scoffs ] I see nina very clearly now. No, I’m thrilled that wiley is protected legally. We never have to see that awful woman again. Mom, what is that? What are we all doing here? Supporting a charity?! I don’t think so. Do something. I am. We are shelling out our hard-earned money on the search for love. We are suckers. Save your money and get a pet, okay? Everybody wants to find their special someone. And once you care for them, they leave you. N-n-not every time. You just have to find the right one. Oh, yes, the mythical right one. The one who will complete your life. The one who will stand by you to hell and back, who will trust you more than you trust yourself. You and the one will always have paris, right?! Wrong! Okay? Haven’t you seen how the movie ends? She flies away with the other guy, because it’s just a sappy movie. There is no right one. Uh, what the hell is going on right now? I need a drink.

[ Airplane engine roaring ] Is that…? H-have faith. Your time will come. Cupid will loosehis arrow — oh, duck and cover, people! Those suckers hurt, okay? You know, port charles is the anti-cupid, okay? No, actually, ’cause it’s a place, not a person. But cupid’s not a person, either. It’s just a chubby baby thing. Britt, I think you made your point. Let’s get you something to eat, okay? No, these people have to understand.

[ Roaring continues ] Oh, my god. There is no love. There’s no love in port charles, okay? All the good ones are taken — or dead.

[ Roaring gets louder ] If you’re looking for love in port charles, you might as well wait for someone to fall out of the sky. Uh, britt! What?! Man: Look out below! Terry: Oh, my god! Britt! Woman: No! Oh, no, no, no! Britt, britt! Look out!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

EJ: This is a surprise.

Nicole: Oh, I’m sure it is. It’s been awhile since you kicked me to the curb, trying to get sami back. Remind me again, how did that work out for you?

EJ: So you decided to drop by to say, “I told you so”?

Nicole: No, actually I need a favor. Okay, so remember you filed my divorce papers when I split from eric?

EJ: I do.

Nicole: Do you happen to have a copy of those? Because I can’t seem to find mine anywhere.

EJ: I’m sure I have a copy somewhere. Is there a problem? Eric isn’t disputing the divorce, is he?

Nicole: No, not at all.

EJ: So why do you need those papers?

Nicole: Because rafe and i are engaged.

Rafe: He’s the most beautiful baby boy.

Ciara: Mm-hmm.

Rafe: Wow. It’s a good thing you and ben were able to bring him home safe and sound, huh?

Ciara: Yeah. Yeah. And after everything we’ve been through, it’s really nice to focus on the sweet, lovely things. Like how much he eats, how much she sleeps, how much he doesn’t sleep. And now we are introducing him to the most important people in his life.

Rafe: Oh, well, I’m flattered I made the list.

Ciara: Are you kidding? Rafe, you are, like, at the top of the list.

Rafe: Oh.

Ciara: In fact, well, ben and I were wondering if you would consider being bo’s godfather.

Jan: Hmm. Sonny, sonny, sonny. Such a naughty boy. How did you get in here?

Ben: Sorry to startle you. The door was open. Is shawn around?

Jan: He’s still at work, but he’s just a phone call away.

Ben: Okay. Could you just let him know that I stopped by? I know he wanted to speak to ciara and me about something.

Jan: Oh, you’re ben weston.

Ben: Yeah. And I will let you get back to whatever you were doing.

Jan: No, no, please don’t go. I’m sorry for acting so cold before, but you can’t be too careful. No offense.

Ben: None taken. I’ll speak with shawn later.

Jan: I know why he called. It was about me.

Ben: You?

Jan: Where are my manners? I’m jan spears. And I’d love to babysit your precious little angel.

Shawn: I can’t believe this.

Belle: You can’t really be surprised.

Shawn: That you want a divorce? Of course, I am.

Belle: Shawn, those aren’t divorce papers. What I want is a legal separation.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Shawn: You’re jumping the gun here. No, we need to discuss this.

Belle: Everything I need to say is in that document.

Shawn: Look, I know that things have been difficult.

Belle: Difficult? They’ve been impossible. And I just think that a legal separation will bring us both some clarity.

Shawn: Some clarity about what? I mean, jan? Jan, she’s gonna have the baby then she’s gonna go back to prison. And then–and then you’re gonna move back home.

Belle: And do what? Raise jan’s baby with you?

Ben: You want to babysit my son?

Jan: I’m sure you must have heard that shawn and I are about to have our own little one.

Ben: I have heard.

Jan: So your child and ours will be cousins.

Ben: Okay.

Jan: And I really need to practice taking care of a baby before ours arrives. And, you know, I thought with little bo, we’d be keeping it all in the family.

Ben: Right. Except ciara and I really aren’t in the market for a babysitter at the moment.

Jan: No? I mean, don’t you think you’ll want a little quality time, maybe a date night out?

Ben: Maybe. Eventually. Yeah. But, you know, right now we just really love spending time with our little boy. Plus he sleeps a lot. So we got plenty of quality time together, my wife and I.

Jan: Ben, I wouldn’t be alone with the baby if that’s what you’re worried about. And shawn, he would be here with me every second.

Ben: And thank you for offering, jan, really. I think we’re good right now. I’ll let you know if we change our minds.

Jan: Our minds, plural? But you haven’t even asked ciara how she’d feel about it.

Ben: Obviously not, but I’m quite sure that ciara won’t like the idea either.

Rafe: Godfather.

Ciara: Godfather.

Rafe: Me?

Ciara: You.

Rafe: Okay? I’m honored. Okay. But are you sure about this? What about shawn?

Ciara: Well, shawn kind of has his hands full with his own baby coming and that’s–well that’s a wee bit complicated.

Rafe: Mm-hmm. That’s an understatement.

Ciara: Yeah.

Rafe: Yeah.

Ciara: And besides you were always our number one choice anyway. I mean with you, we get a godfather and a baseball coach all in one.

Rafe: Yeah. He does look like a fielder.

Ciara: Doesn’t he? Right? There we go.

Rafe: And I guess you guys probably want to get him baptized by eric before he goes back to africa, right?

Ciara: Oh, you didn’t hear the news?

Rafe: Uh, well, what news?

Ciara: Well, uncle roman stopped by today to say hi to little baby bo.

Rafe: Yeah.

Ciara: And he told us that eric is no longer a priest.

Brady: How could the vatican expel you?

John: If they have no reason to justify that kind of decision?

Eric: They actually have two. Two unauthorized exorcisms I performed is enough.

John: Oh, come on. That’s crazy. You were doing that for family. You not only saved doc’s life but allie’s too.

Brady: Isn’t that what the church is all about? Fighting satan, saving souls?

John: Oh, yeah. Well, what did they want you to do? Just let the devil win?

Marlena: This is all my fault.

From prom dresses

EJ: You’re marrying rafe hernandez?

Nicole: Yes.

EJ: You know I don’t–

Nicole: Yes. I know you hate him. The whole town knows that you hate him. But it’s funny ’cause it’s reciprocal since he hates you too. But it doesn’t seem to change the way I feel about him.

EJ: And I do respect your choice.

Nicole: Thank you.

EJ: And I’m just curious, but does father eric know that you are getting married again?

Nicole: Well, he is no longer “father eric.”

EJ: What are you talking about?

Nicole: Well, I went to see him early this morning at the pub, ’cause I wanted him to hear from me that I was engaged and that’s when he told me that he was expelled from the priesthood.

EJ: Oh, so you found out about eric after you accepted rafe’s proposal?

Nicole: Yes. Why?

EJ: Whoa. I can’t help wondering–nevermind. None of my business.

Nicole: Oh, you know, no, no. I know what you can’t help wondering. And the answer is yes. If I had known that eric was out of the priesthood beforehand, I absolutely would’ve accepted rafe’s proposal.

EJ: [Chuckles]

Rafe: Eric’s really not a priest anymore, huh?

Ciara: Mm.

Rafe: That’s–wow.

Ciara: I didn’t expect the news to hit you so hard.

Rafe: Hmm. It didn’T. It’s just a surprise. That’s all, you know, it’s big news.

Ciara: Yeah. Yeah.

Rafe: I got some big news of my own, by the way.

Ciara: Oh, bigger than being bo’s godfather.

Rafe: Mm. Nicole and I got engaged.

Ciara: What?

Rafe: Yeah.

Ciara: Are you serious? Rafe, that’s wonderful. I’m so happy for you. Wow.

Rafe: Yeah.

Jan: So you think ciara wouldn’t be comfortable with me babysitting her son?

Ben: It’s nothing personal.

Jan: Well, I take it very personally.

Ben: I’m gonna leave now.

Jan: And what about you, ben? Are you, a serial killer scared to have me watching over your son? A woman with ankles the size of basketballs who has to pee every 15 minutes. Yeah. I’m terrifying.

Ben: It’s not that we’re scared of you, jan.

Jan: Well, you of all people, I mean, you shouldn’t be after what you’ve done. The pain you’ve caused, but everyone, everyone forgave you, accepted you, embraced you.

Ben: Yeah. That’s not what happened at all.

Jan: Well, that’s what it looks like to me.

Ben: Well, not that I give a damn what it looks like to you, jan, but for the record, not everybody just accepted and forgave me. There are still plenty of people in this town who haven’t and I don’t blame ’em. But the people who have accepted me it’s because I’ve worked my ass off at trying to become a better person, and I am still working on it.

Jan: Yeah. Well, same as me. I am also trying to be a better person just for the record. So why can’t everybody just show me some compassion, you know, some understanding?

Ben: Jan, I’m sorry. I’ve been where you are. And I get it, but–

Jan: But I’m still too scary to be around your son. And has it ever occurred to you, ben, that if you hadn’t been forgiven for what you did, you wouldn’t even have a son? But you’re happy and married and you have a baby and you have this wonderful, perfect life. Why do you get to have that but not me?

Belle: You can’t seriously expect me to raise jan’s baby.

Shawn: It would be my baby, too.

Belle: Do you really think that she won’t be involved in this child’s life in some way, even from prison?

Shawn: But we can control that.

Belle: Really? ‘Cause we’re not controlling anything right now. You’re turning my office into a nursery. There is nothing that is ever gonna be normal about our life ever again. In fact, it’s not getting easier. It’s getting harder every day.

Shawn: Listen, for that, I’m sorry. Okay. I’m sorry. I have handled this. I’ve handled this badly and I know I have. Look, I lie in bed awake at night just hating myself for the things I’ve put you through. But belle, you gotta know, you know that I never meant to hurt you.

Belle: What I know is I cannot go on this way. I really think that it’s the best thing for us to just draw this line.

Shawn: So this document that’s so important to you, can you honestly tell me that this is only about you and me?

Belle: What kind of question is that? What else would it be about?

Shawn: It’s not about what else. It’s about who else.

Belle: What are you saying, shawn?

Shawn: Look, I’m saying that I have a feeling that EJ has got a lot to do with this. My asthma felt anything but normal.

Ben: I think some of this anger that you’re directing to me, jan, it’s coming from the stress and the fear of you bringing a child into this world. And I get that because I went through it.

Jan: You did?

Ben: Yes. I had a lot of anxiety worrying about, you know, my child and what possible “problem” genes that he might inherit of mine.

Jan: How did you get over that?

Ben: Ciara. She showed me that being a good parent, loving and supporting our baby, no matter what is what matters the most. It’s way more important than whatever genes he may inherit or not. Look, all I’m saying is, jan, as long as you love that baby, and you devote yourself to him or to her, you can be a good mom.

Jan: Even without any practice.

Ben: Even without any practice. Trust me, I’m doing it.

Jan: How? How did you get there?

Ben: With a lot of work. I had to work on myself. Of course, my little stint at bayview helped, but I think what helped me the most was my therapy with dr. Evans. Had a lot of things that I had to come to terms with, as you know. But eventually, I was able to learn from the terrible things that I did. And I was able to realize that in order for me to truly redeem myself, I had to become a better person.

Jan: I want that, too. I wanna be a better person for my baby. Ben, could you ask dr. Evans if she would help me, too?

Eric: It’s not your fault, mom.

Marlena: Look, I know you don’t want me to feel guilty. But the truth is that this wouldn’t happen if it hadn’t been for me, because I was the one the devil came looking for.

Eric: Mom, I knew the risk I was taking without going through and getting that permission with the proper channels. I made that choice.

Marlena: Because of me. You did it for me.

Eric: It would have taken me months to get permission from the vatican. And time is not what we have.

Brady: Eric, you saved her life.

John: She knows that. Just like everybody in town knows that and they’re grateful for it.

Eric: Exactly. And if I would’ve known what I know and had to do it all over again, I would’ve done it again without any hesitation.

Marlena: Thank you. I’m just so sorry that you sacrificed the priesthood for me.

Eric: It wasn’t a sacrifice. It was all worth it.

Nicole: Eric leaving the priesthood doesn’t change a thing between rafe and me. And what is this concern about my relationship? Hmm. I thought you’d be more focused on whatever woman is in your life now.

EJ: You’d be wrong. There’s no one.

Nicole: No one, huh? No one since sami ran off with lucas, come on? It’s not like you to be alone for very long. So who is it? Who do you have your eye on?

EJ: There isn’t anyone.

Nicole: You remember I can always tell when you’re lying or at least evading?

EJ: Would you kindly stop looking at me with those ex-wife eyes?

Nicole: Not until you answer the question honestly.

EJ: I’ve been spending a bit of time with belle.

Nicole: Wait, you’re seeing belle?

EJ: We’re not seeing each other. We became close while she was representing me. And now we’ve become friends.

Nicole: Friends.

EJ: Yes. Friends.

Nicole: So you’re pursuing a happily married woman.

EJ: For one thing, I’m not pursuing belle. And for the other, she’s not happily married. In fact, her marriage is falling apart.

Belle: Do you know how insulting that is? That you think that I want you to enter into a separation agreement because of EJ?

Shawn: I mean, well, he’s a lawyer. For all I know, you know, this could be his idea.

Belle: Have you forgotten that I am a lawyer and I am perfectly capable of assessing a situation on my own? No, shawn, this is not about EJ. This is about one person and one person only. And that is jan spears.

Shawn: I hate this so much.

Belle: You think I don’t?

Shawn: You know what? Fine. Fine. Fine, belle. Here you go. Oh, you want my signature? There it is, right…

Belle: Shawn.

Shawn: There. There you go.

Belle: I didn’t want things to turn out like this.

Shawn: Yeah. Well, I didn’t want this to turn out this way either. But this is very clear to me that that’s how you feel. So this isn’t working out. Right?

From prom dresses

Ciara: So have you and nicole set a date yet?

Rafe: No, not yet. I mean still figuring out the details.

Ciara: Okay.

Rafe: Right.

Ciara: Well, just keep in mind, bo isn’t up for ring bearer duty for a couple of years.

Rafe: Oh, my god. I wish we could wait that long. But I’m not a patient person.

Ciara: I completely understand.

Rafe: Yeah. And I don’t think that eric’s gonna be officiating the ceremony.

Ciara: Oh no, definitely not. No. Rafe, you don’t think that the news about eric will affect you and nicole in any way, right?

Rafe: No.

Ciara: No.

Rafe: No. Why would you–no. Okay. We are strong. We’re so happy. And we’re excited because we finally figured out that we are meant to be together.

Ciara: Oh, that’s amazing. And I only hope that you and nicole are as happy as ben and I are. Oh, come here.

Ben: If you want dr. Evans to treat you, you’re gonna have to ask her yourself.

Jan: But I asked her once before and she blew me off, which is why I need you to ask for me.

Ben: Yeah. I can’t do that, jan. You just said you wanted to become a better person. This is where it starts.

Jan: I guess that makes sense.

Ben: Yeah.

Jan: I’ll muster up the courage eventually. And if she rEJects me, I’ll just–I’ll damn well deal with it.

Ben: That’s the spirit.

Jan: And speaking of courage, I’m gonna fight hard and courageously for this baby. I want this child to be raised by both parents, which is why I will do whatever it takes to make shawn realize that he and I are meant to be together. Same as you and ciara. Just like you two, shawn and i have made a perfect baby. And we’re gonna be a perfect family, too.

Ben: Yeah, um– jan, I know we just met and all, and I am not in any position to be giving you any kind of advice, but–

Jan: But you’re going to anyway.

Ben: Ciara was able to help me with my fatherhood issues because we both wanted a child so much. You snuck into shawn’s bed and pretended to be belle. And now this baby is a complete surprise to him. And it’s not a happy one, apparently.

Jan: No, that’s ancient history. He couldn’t be more excited for the baby now.

Ben: Right, that’s because he’s a good guy and he’s trying to do right by you and by your baby. But this whole happy family scenario, jan, is not real.

Jan: Not real? I’m caring shawn’s baby and living with him. I mean, it couldn’t get more real than that.

Ben: Actually, it can get more real because he is married to somebody else.

Jan: Well, he won’t be for long. Belle moved out and I don’t expect her to be moving back in any time soon.

Nicole: Does sami have any idea of what good friends you and belle have become?

EJ: Samantha’s feelings are no longer my concern. She’s made that very clear.

Nicole: You’re right. And now that I think about it, the real silver lining of getting a divorce from eric is that neither one of us have to give a damn about sami’s feelings. So if belle’s marriage is over and you’re into her and she’s into you, I say go for it. Looking to get back in your type 2 diabetes zone?

Belle: I hope I’m not interrupting.

EJ: Oh, you’re not. I was just helping nicole with something which is now done. You’re all set, nicole. Please don’t let me keep you.

Nicole: Thank you, EJ.

Belle: Nice to see you, nicole.

Nicole: Nice to see you, too, belle. Even if it was unexpected.

Belle: Well, EJ and i are just discussing business.

Nicole: Okay. Well, then I’ll leave you two to your business.

Belle: Well, are you sure I wasn’t interrupting something?

EJ: I’m delighted you dropped by. Nicole and I were just discussing a minor legal matter. She and rafe are getting married. So she needed a copy of her divorce papers from eric. I was the one who filed them for her. Hence, why she stopped by.

Belle: Well, that’s kind of why I’m here too. I have some legal papers of my own that I was hoping you could file for me.

EJ: A separation agreement.

Belle: Yeah. For shawn and me. He just signed it.

Ciara: Hey, shawn. So I have some news. I just asked rafe to be bo’s godfather and he said yes. I, uh– I hope that you’re not upset about us not asking you.

Shawn: Upset? I mean, come on. Why would I be upset, you know? I mean, I get it. It’s like, why would you want your trainwreck brother to be the godfather of your baby, right? No, no, no. Listen, you know what you need? You need somebody who’s got their act together. You need somebody, you know, you need somebody like rafe actually.

Ciara: No, no, shawn. Oh my goodness. No, I’m so sorry. I did not want to hurt your feelings. That is not what I meant. I just–I–I think that–I don’t know. It just seems like you have a lot on your plate right now.

Shawn: I’m sorry. I’m sorry, ciara. Just something happened earlier and I’m taking it out on you. But to be honest, I think you made the right decision. You know, I think that rafe he’d be a good role model for little bo. And be someone for him to look up to.

Ciara: Hey, bo is gonna look up to you too. You know that right? You’re gonna be, like, an incredibly awesome uncle.

Shawn: Yeah, an incredibly awesome uncle that just destroyed his entire life and his marriage. Right?

Jan: Thank you for giving me dr. Evans’ number, ben. I’m sorry that I blew up at you before.

Ben: Told you I get it. I’ve been there before. I just hope dr. Evans is able to help you the same way she helped me.

Jan: So do I.

Ben: Take care of yourself and that baby?

Jan: Oh, I will.

[Devious music]

[Phone ringing]

Marlena: Hello, shawn.

Jan: It’s not shawn, dr. Evans. It’s jan.

Marlena: Jan spears?

Jan: Yes. I need your help.

Marlena: And, well, what do you need help with?

Jan: I’d rather discuss this in person. And as you know, I’m under house arrest. So since I can’t come to you you’ll have to come here. Sorry to have to ask you to make a house call like this, but I assure you it’s very important.

Marlena: Okay. I’ll be right there.

Jan: Oh, wow. Thank you so much. Oh, I’ll see you soon then.

Marlena: Oh, jan wants to see me.

John: What about?

Marlena: I don’t know. I really won’t know until I get there. So if you’ll excuse me.

John: Whoa, whoa, hold on. I don’t want you walking into that viper’s nest all by yourself.

Marlena: John.

John: Not negotiable.

Marlena: If you need anything–

Eric: I know who to call.

Marlena: Thank you, sweetheart.

John: Men.

Brady: Well, as much as I don’t like the vatican’s decision, I think there is a bright side to it.

Eric: I’d like to know what that is.

Brady: Is we get to keep you around town a little longer. I mean, for the people that love you around here, it’s kind of a silver lining.

Eric: Hm.

[Tense music]

[]

Nicole: Hi, brady. Eric.

Eric: Hi, nick.

Brady: Nicole. Uh, wow.

Nicole: Oh.

Brady: Does that ring mean what I think it means?

Nicole: Yes. Rafe and I are engaged.

Brady: Well, congratulations. That’s great.

Nicole: Thank you. Thank you, brady.

Eric: I know I’ve already congratulated you, but I just wanted to say that I’m happy for you and rafe and I wish you both nothing but happiness. You deserve it.

Nicole: That means a lot to me coming from both of you, so– okay. Well, I’ll see you soon.

Brady: Does she know that you’re not a priest anymore?

Eric: Yeah. Yeah, she does.

Brady: All right, come on, come on, come on. Be honest. You can’t be okay with her marrying rafe.

Eric: Nicole and I agreed that we’d always be friends. I’m not romantically interested in her, not anymore.

Jan: Oh, wow. It’s a party.

John: Well, I wasn’t about to let her be alone with you.

Jan: I didn’t realize you needed a bodyguard for your therapy sessions, dr. Evans.

John: Anything you say to her you can say in front of me.

Marlena: Jan, you’re not a patient and this is not a therapy session. So there’s nothing here that john can’t hear.

Jan: Well, that’s what I wanted to talk to you about, dr. Evans. I spoke to ben weston and I know he’s committed murder like me. I know he’s been in a mental hospital like me, and he told me that he was able to turn his life around by being in therapy with you.

Marlena: Well, ben worked very hard.

Jan: Well, I can too. And I promise I will. So would you–could you take me on as a patient?

Ciara: So you and belle are separated?

Shawn: Formally and legally, yeah, she– she had me sign a document.

Ciara: I’m so sorry, shawn.

Shawn: Yeah, well, since you’re here, I might as well tell you about what I wanted to talk to you and ben about. Jan asked to babysit bo.

Ciara: No, no, no, no. Shawn, no. Solid, no, no, no. Nopety, no.

Shawn: Okay. Listen, I know. I figured that would be your initial reaction.

Ciara: That is my final reaction, shawn.

Shawn: Okay. Just hear me out here for a second, okay. She would never be alone with him. I would be there the entire time. So–

Ciara: You can’t actually expect me to trust this woman with my baby.

Shawn: Ciara, I am only asking you because this is important to me. I want her to learn something, something about taking care of a baby before mine’s born.

Ciara: Mm-hmm, and i understand that, I really do, but I’m sorry, shawn. No. Maybe she can borrow a birthing doll from a birthing class, but I am not letting that crazy woman lay one finger on my baby. Truthfully, I’m not too crazy about her spending time with you either, but hey, that ship has sailed far, far away, hasn’t it?

Shawn: Do you really seriously think–you think that I’m–do you think that I wanted this? Do you think I didn’t fight for her? Do you think I didn’t fight for us?

Ciara: No, of course you did. But that only goes to show how devious this woman really is. Okay? When I said that she was crazy. I meant she was crazy like a fox. Be careful, shawn. Don’t let her screw up what you have with belle.

EJ: Of course, I’ll file the separation agreement for you. I’m a little surprised you took this step, though. You didn’t say anything about it earlier.

Belle: I know. Well, then jan sent that box of my things here and I realized she’s never gonna stop trying to come between shawn to me. And I realized that a formal separation is something I needed to do for my own sake.

EJ: I understand. And I think you’ve made a wise choice. Why don’t you stay for dinner? We can talk, share a bottle of wine, relax. You look like you could really use it.

Brady: Need I remind you, I’ve had a front-row seat to the nicole and eric drama for a long time now.

Eric: A drama that’s finally come to an end.

Brady: Yeah, but you’re not a priest anymore. Trying to tell me it’s never crossed your mind that you and nicole might have another chance.

Eric: No, it hasn’T.

Brady: So I guess it’s not a sin if you lie to yourself.

Nicole: Hi.

Rafe: Oh, well, well, well if it isn’t my beautiful fiancéE. Hi.

Nicole: Hi. I’m sorry to bother you at work.

Rafe: You’re not bothering me. You can never bother me. But I am sensing from the look on your face that you have something important to say.

Nicole: I do.

Rafe: Okay.

Nicole: I know we told holly that we would get married soon, but that’s a little vague.

Rafe: Do you know what, ciara was just teasing me about that.

Nicole: Right?

Rafe: Yeah.

Nicole: So then we agree. We need something a little more concrete, like an actual date.

Rafe: Okay. You have something in mind.

Nicole: How about next week?

Ciara: Baby, I’m telling you rafe was so excited about being bo’s godfather.

Ben: That’s wonderful. You know, I swung by shawn’s today to try to ask him what he wanted to talk to us about, but he wasn’t there. Jan was. She wants to babysit bo.

Ciara: Mm, I know. I heard. I stopped by the station and ran into shawn.

Ben: Okay. So you told him.

Ciara: Yeah. I told him it’s not gonna happen.

Ben: Mm-mm.

Ciara: Never, no. We did not save our baby bo from the devil to hand him off to jan spears’ diabolical grasps. No way. I mean, don’t get me wrong. This has nothing to do with her mental illness. I’m very aware that people can get better, just like you did. But underneath her mental illness, she’s still a greedy, manipulative woman who will stop at nothing to get what she wants. I mean, baby, she’s been trying to get in between shawn and belle for years.

Ben: That’s the impression that I got.

Ciara: And unfortunately this time I am afraid that she might be succeeding.

John: Oh, hey.

Shawn: Hey, shawn. What’s going on here?

Jan: I just asked dr. Evans to be my therapist, shawn. ‘Cause I wanna be a better person for you and for our baby. And I know that it’s a lot of work, but I am willing to do it. More than willing. I can’t wait.

Marlena: Well, I would have to check my schedule. And with, you know, jan being under house arrest, I would have to do it here. And that would–that would be a big-time issue for me.

Shawn: Would you be willing to do that?

Marlena: I–I can’t really promise it. But I’ll get back to you about that. Shawn, you might consider counseling, yourself. Marriage counseling, you know, for you and belle, I could recommend someone for you.

Shawn: Yeah, well, I don’t think that she would be interested in doing that. She wants a formal separation.

Marlena: Oh, she didn’t mention that to us.

John: And I’m sorry, kid. I can’t believe that she’d give up on the marriage.

Shawn: Yeah. I just signed the papers.

Belle: I hope you know how much I appreciate your very kind offer.

EJ: I hope you know how much I want you to say yes.

Belle: The idea of staying here and relaxing and sharing a meal and a bottle of wine is very tempting.

EJ: Dinner can be served in minutes.

Belle: EJ, I just don’t think this is a good idea. At least not tonight. I have to go, but thank you for filing that document.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Steffy sighing ]

Taylor: Hey, sweetheart. Are you ok? Are you having second thoughts about leaving?

Steffy: No, I– I really need to get away. Time to heal, reconnect with the kids after what happened. I mean, I see finn everywhere. There are times I forget he’s gone and then it just, like, hits me and it feels like I’m losing him all over again.

Taylor: You know a new perspective is going to do you really good.

Steffy: I just don’t wanna feel like I’m forgetting finn, leaving him behind.

Taylor: I see how it can feel that way. But finn is going to be with you always. Always. You getting away is– is about creating space and giving yourself and the kids permission to heal. Oh, baby.

Ridge: Hey. It’s going to be alright.

Steffy: Yeah. I hope so, dad. I really do.

[ Machines beeping ]

Li: You must be so scared. So confused. But it’s okay, because I’m right here. I’m right here, my sweet boy. I’ll never give up on you. And I know you’re not giving up either, because I saw it. Your eyes twitched, the other day. Your consciousness spiked. It’s a sign. It’s a sign that you’re not giving up. That you’re still fighting.

Hope: Finn’s death is such a tragedy. Has– has kelly asked any more questions about him?

[ Liam sighing ]

Liam: Not really. I– I know she’s sad, it’s just hard to tell what she understands and– and what she doesn’T. Like, she knows he gone. I just don’t know what that means to her. And I want to be there to help her cope. That also means being there to support steffy and it’s a whole…

Hope: Look, I mean, that, all of that is important to me too.

Liam: Thank you for being so understanding. I know all this time I’m spending over at steffy’s, it’s gotta be–

Hope: Liam, we’re family. Steffy and the kids need our support. And that is what matters.

Liam: How did I do that? How did I so lucky as to have you for my wife?

[ Loud, smacking kisses ]

[ Hope giggling ]

Hope: So is there any word yet on if there’s going to be a memorial?

Liam: Uh, not– not really. Steffy keeps trying to talk to li, but she’s being super standoffish.

[ Phone ringing ] Hold on.

Hope: Okay.

Liam: Speaking of steffy. Hey.

Steffy: Hey, can you come over?

Liam: Uh, what, why, what is it? Is it kelly?

Steffy: The kids are fine, but it’s important.

Liam: Yeah, uh, yeah, okay. I– I’ll be over right away.

Hope: Is everything alright?

Liam: I, uh, apparently I need to go over to steffy’S. Something’s up. I don’t know–

Hope: Is it the kids, or?

Liam: That’s what, that’s what I said. She says they’re fine. But now I wanna find out what’s going on so–

Hope: Yes, go, go.

Liam: Okay, alright. I’ll update you.

Hope: Alright.

Steffy: Liam’s on his way.

Taylor: You seem concerned.

Steffy: I just hope he understands why I need to leave.

Taylor: I’m sure he will.

Ridge: He’s always gonna do what’s best for you.

Steffy: I don’t know if he’s going to be happy about me taking kelly.

Taylor: I think he’ll understand that you’re doing whatever you need to do to heal.

Ridge: And if that means taking the kids away for a while, he’ll support that.

[ Knocking ]

Hope: It’s open.

Thomas: Hey!

Hope: Hey!

Thomas: Um, so douglas happened to leave this, uh, his book and his binder, all his notes and everything so, uh…

Hope: Thank you.

Thomas: Figured he might need that, yeah.

Hope: Yes.

Thomas: So what was liam rushing out of here for?

Hope: Oh, uh, your sister called and said it was important, so liam just–

[ Tongue clap ]

Thomas: Why am I not surprised? For copd,

Taylor: Is everything okay?

Steffy: Yeah, I was just checking on the flight. Everything’s on time.

Ridge: Alright, I just had an idea. How about this? How about we give you a ride to the airport? You don’t need a car. And if you wanna go say something to liam first, we’ll do that.

Steffy: Dad, I’m fine. You don’t need to do that. It’s good.

Taylor: Okay, okay, and– and, you will text us whenever you land.

Steffy: Yeah, of course, we’ll video chat.

Ridge: And you have, you have everything you need?

Steffy: Yeah, yeah, I do.

Taylor: Everything? I mean, it’s– it’s overseas, it’s a really long flight, the kids, the–

Steffy: I have everything. Tablets, books, toys for the kids. Amelia. We’re good.

Ridge: Oh, headphones!

Taylor: Right!

Steffy: We’re good, dad. We’re good.

Ridge: Okay.

Taylor: We know you are. This– this is so hard to see you go, but we are so proud of you. I know that this is the right thing to do, but– I am going to miss you and my grandkids so much.

Steffy: Mom, don’t do this. Please don’t make me cry again.

Taylor: I can’t help it!

[ Both chuckling ]

[ Ridge sighing ]

Steffy: Dad, what? Please don’t do this.

Ridge: Nothing. I just, I– I hate this. I hate that you’re going through this. But you are going through it and you’re gonna – come out the other side better because you are stronger than any of us.

Steffy: I’m trying.

Ridge: You are. And you’ll find a way to guide hayes and kelly through this. Come here. Mmm. I love you.

Steffy: Thank you, dad. Both of you, for everything.

Taylor: Oh, I don’t want to say goodbye.

Steffy: Let’s not then. We don’t have to say goodbye.

Taylor: I love you so much.

Steffy: I love you too, mom.

Thomas: Yeah, look, I– I do, I do really care about you, hope. And I appreciate liam supporting steffy. But…

Hope: Mmm! Na-uh! No! No buts. Thomas, no. Liam is there for her as a supportive friend and father the way we are all trying to be there for her, to help her through this.

Thomas: I’m grateful. I am. And I, ah, yeah, I– I have never seen steffy in this much pain.

Hope: Well, no, her entire world was shattered.

Thomas: Yeah, which is, um, well, that’s actually why she asked liam to come over.

Hope: Why? Wait– do you know something I don’t know?

Thomas: The reason that steffy asked liam to come over was to say goodbye. Steffy’s leaving.

Finn: Steffy forrester,

will you marry me?

Will you be my wife?

Steffy: Yes,

I’ll be your wife!

[ Seagulls cawing ]

I can’t believe it.

We’re getting married.

Finn: And we’re having

a baby, our baby.

I’m going to be right

by your side as we grow

into our future.

Stronger together.

Connected by love.

Year after year.

I love you.

Liam: Hey. I came as soon as I– what’s going on? You leaving?

Steffy: Yes. And I’m taking kelly and hayes with me. Whatever gives you life

Taylor: Is eric home?

Ridge: No. He’s back at the club. He likes playing pickleball.

Taylor: Thank you. Wow! Pickleball.

Ridge: Mm-hm.

Taylor: Wow. Well, that’s good that he’s getting his heart rate up.

Ridge: Yep. Working up a sweat.

Taylor: Good.

Ridge: Can’t get enough.

Taylor: Good. I’m glad he’s found a way to deal with all this madness. How about you? How are you doing?

Ridge: Well, I, uh, talking to a shrink.

Taylor: Wow.

Ridge: She’s, yeah, she’s good. She’s, uh, she’s cute.

Taylor: Yeah?

Ridge: Mmm.

Taylor: She sounds amazing.

Ridge: Oh well, she’s, yeah.

Taylor: You always make me smile.

Ridge: It’s all we can do, isn’t it? Smile through it, or play pickleball.

Taylor: Or fly halfway across the world.

Ridge: Steffy’s going to be alright.

Taylor: I know she will. I just hope that liam is understanding, even though he’s going to be completely shocked that she’s leaving with the kids.

Hope: I’m sorry, I’m still trying to wrap my head around this. So steffy is leaving and she’s taking kelly and hayes with her?

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: And your mom suggested this?

Thomas: Well, look, steffy was resistant at first too. But then, she really thought about it and figured it might be the best idea for her and the kids.

Hope: Bu– but how? I mean, her family is here. Her support system is here.

Thomas: I know. But so is a house that is full of memories of finn. She needs to be able to get away. To go to a new place. To refresh, and sorta start over. To move on, and– and to be with the kids. Hayes and with kelly. And kelly, gosh, she must have so many questions.

Hope: Just, I can’t– I can’t believe it. I– I– I just, I hope that steffy finds the peace that she’s looking for.

Thomas: Yeah. And hopefully, she will. You know, she can, she can finally move on from all of this and create a new life for herself. A life, without finn.

[ Machines beeping ]

Li: You need to keep fighting. Dig deep and come back to us. You have a little boy that’s waiting for his daddy.

Steffy: Finn’s gone. At first, I thought being in my home would be– it would be healing. Like, miraculously, somehow, finn would come back to me and the kids, but– he’s not coming back.

Liam: I wish I knew what to say.

Steffy: Say that you understand. I– I can’t be here. I need to leave and I need to take the kids. And I understand that kelly is your daughter but just tell me, tell me you understand. Hi, I’m karen. what’s best for the ki

Ridge: Steffy’s taking kelly and hayes because it’s what’s best for the kids. Liam’s gonna understand that.

Taylor: Yeah, I think he will. He’s been amazing with steffy through all of this. It’s clear that he still loves our daughter. Ugh. I don’t know what to– you know, ridge, when I– when I came back to L.A., Steffy was the happiest that I have ever seen her. She was so fulfilled. The bond between her and finn was so strong.

Ridge: That’s all we can ever ask for for our kids, right? To be happy and fulfilled.

Taylor: My– my heart hurts for our daughter and our grandchildren, what they’re going through.

[ Taylor sighing ]

Hope: So, how are your parents dealing with all of this?

Thomas: You know, they– they’re just trying to stay strong for steffy and the kids. Like we all are.

Hope: Well, I mean, as a mother and a wife, I couldn’t imagine losing liam. And to deal with such a devastating loss while trying to take care of the kids too, it–

Thomas: It’s really hard. I mean when caroline died, I had no idea what to do. I– I, ugh, I had a– this beautiful little boy who was looking to me for answers, and I couldn’t give him any and he needed a mother in his life that he didn’t have. And– and I was lost, but, I mean, you– you came in, and you– you fulfilled that role for him. And I will– I’ll forever be grateful to you for that.

Hope: Well, I love him.

Thomas: Yeah, and, uh, he loves you too. We both do.

Steffy: You do understand why I have to leave, right?

Liam: I do. And I trust you. And if leaving is what’s best for now, then, uh, I support it.

Steffy: Part of me wants to stay. I feel like I’m abandoning finn.

Liam: You’re not, you’re not abandoning finn. You’re doing what’s right for you and the kids, and that’s exactly what finn would want you to do.

Steffy: That’s who he was, he was a wonderful husband, and father, and he loved kelly.

Liam: We got off to a rocky start, but it– it’s the way he was with kelly, the way he was with my daughter that– that made me realize what a special person he was.

Steffy: Everywhere I look in this home, it– it’s just memories of finn. I can’t take it anymore. It’s too much.

Liam: Well, if you gotta go, you gotta go. And that’s okay. Listen, you’ve been a phenomenal mother. You’ve done an amazing job at protecting and comforting the kids. And I can’t even begin to imagine the depth of your pain. I wish, I wish I could just take it away from you but I know that I can’t, so– so there it is.

[ Sighing ]

Steffy: I feel like my whole life has just been snatched away from me. And it’s little things, you know, like, the mundane things that really hit me like when I have breakfast and I’m just staring at an empty space across from me where finn used to be. Or, here in this home, we used to dance too, with the kids.

[ Sobbing ] It’s just hard to know that he’s not coming back. My– my husband’s gone. He’s not coming back.

[ Machines beeping ]

Liam: I’m going to miss you and kelly. So much. Just know something, okay? It doesn’t matter how many miles apart we are, I’m there with you. Always.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Summer: He’s here.

Kyle: I’m dreading this.

Summer: But it needs to be done.

Kyle: You’re right.

Summer: Hi, grandpa.

Victor: Hello, you two.

Summer: Come on in.

Victor: Thank you. It’s not often that I’m invited to what used to be enemy territory.

Summer: There’s a lot less bad blood between the families than there used to be.

Victor: Yeah, well, I think that has a lot to do with the two of you.

Summer: I like to think so.

Victor: So, is my grandson around?

Summer: I love hearing you call him that.

Kyle: Harrison is on the way to the park with his nanny.

Victor: Ah.

Summer: We didn’t want him to overhear any of this grown-up talk.

Victor: Uh-huh. Grown-up talk — does that mean we’re gonna have a conversation about ashland locke?

Kyle: That’s right. And we’ve come to a decision about how to handle him.

Ashland: Thanks.

Adam: Well, look who it is. Genoa city’s least favorite glutton for punishment.

Jack: I think we ought to go on a trip.

Phyllis: What’d you have in mind?

Jack: I don’t know. What do you feel like doing? Sitting on a beach? Climbing a mountain? Shopping all day?

Phyllis: All three sound great.

Jack: That’s my red. Give her three viable options, she’ll choose all three.

Phyllis: Have you noticed that I can really laugh at myself lately?

Jack: I have noticed that.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Jack: I also noticed you’ve been laughing a lot today.

Phyllis: I know. I have. You know why?

Jack: Why?

Phyllis: Because I’m not distracted by that woman who shall remain nameless. And it is a good day. It’s a very good day because, you know, all distractions are gone and I’m not thinking of that woman.

Jack: So, where do we go on this trip? Iceland? Tokyo? Madrid?

Phyllis: Wow, those are great suggestions.

Diane: [ Laughs ] Look at you two! Like a couple of teenagers. Or was all that sloppy kissing for my benefit?

Jack: What are you talking about?

Diane: Oh, please. As soon as I walked in, you were all over each other. It looked staged.

Jack: Don’t be ridiculous. We didn’t even know you were here.

Diane: Oh, I think phyllis looked right at me.

Phyllis: Oh, well, uh, sorry to say this, but you’re not as eye-catching as you seem to think you are.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] I feel I should get some credit for rekindling your hot romance. I mean, you clearly weren’t together in L.A., But you sure are now. As a matter of fact, I think I’ve brought the spirit of love back to town. Oh, stouffer’s french bread pizza?!

Kyle: We’ve given your suggestion about ashland a lot of thought, and we’ve come to a decision.

Summer: We’ve realized if we were headed right back to milan this wouldn’t be such an urgent situation.

Kyle: But we’re planning on staying in genoa city longer than we thought…

Victor: Yes.

Kyle: …Possibly moving back.

Victor: Whoa. Well, summer hinted at that, and everyone would love for you to come back here, you know. But you should consider the fact that if you stay, then ashland locke would have greater proximity to harrisoN. And I don’t think that’s a good idea.

Kyle: I agree. That’s why, although I’ve got a couple concerns, we’ve decided to protect our son and get a restraining order.

Victor: Good. That way, ashland locke has no one here to relate to anymore. That means he will finally get out of town.

Kyle: I’m not making this decision out of revenge.

Victor: I understand.

Summer: Ashland leaving town is just a fringe benefit.

Victor: I already had michael baldwin draw up the papers.

Summer: Very efficient.

Victor: He’s filing a restraining order against ashland locke, and he will send it in as soon as I tell him to. And then all we need is the judge’s signature, and you have all that done before dinner.

Kyle: Let’s slow down. Before we make a move against ashland, we need to prepare harrison for what’s about to happen.

Ashland: [ Sighs heavily ]

Adam: So, is this like your office now? I mean, might as well be. There’s nowhere else to go. You could just get your mail forwarded here. Maybe you could ask abby, put a sign out front — “ashland locke world headquarters.”

Ashland: Don’t you have someplace else to be?

Adam: Just waiting for my food.

Ashland: Could you possibly wait somewhere else?

Adam: I could, but someone would come in here and take my seat because there’s a long line outside, people waiting to come in here and insult you. I actually had to take a number. Man, people really don’t like you in this town.

Ashland: You actually sound jealous.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] How do you figure that?

Ashland: Well, before i slipped up, you were the town pariah. I get the sense that you miss all those people hating you. Because if they don’t hate you, then they’re probably not actually paying attention to you at all.

Adam: Well, touché. But I did get back on the radar of all the people that matter to me when I maneuvered you out of the family business.

Ashland: Really? So, what exactly have the newmans done for you to say thank you? Anything at all?

Adam: That is none of your concern.

Ashland: Well, I’ve been out of the loop for a while, but it seems to me you’re in exactly the same position you were before you came up with your brilliant scheme to give me half a billion dollars.

Adam: Whereas you lost your company and your wife. So knowing that you’re suffering is all the reward that I need. And, hey, I would drink to your health, but I know it’s a sensitive subject. But seriously, all joking aside, why are you still here? I mean, I always thought it was my best revenge to stick around and make all the people face me.

Ashland: Revenge isn’t what’s keeping me here.

Adam: Oh. Please don’t tell me you’re sticking around because of love. Ugh, that is so gross. Besides, you’re a little late.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] What do you mean?

Adam: Haven’t you heard? Victoria left town. She abandoned her duties at newman and she went to some spa in the swiss alps to, uh, clear her head and nurse her pathetic broken heart.

Ashland: I’m sure victoria has not abandoned anything. She’s still in charge. She always will be. So don’t get any ideas, hmm?

Jack: So, you’ve come to think of yourself as some kind of cupid?

Diane: Well, I’m just pointing out that I show up in town and everyone starts falling in love, like you two. The timing is uncanny.

Jack: You know, it’s funny. I think when most people in this town think of you, the first word that comes to mind isn’t “love.”

Phyllis: That’s true, diane. I have a couple choice words that I could associate with you.

[ Cellphone vibrating ]

Jack: I got to take this. Um, you want to go back to the hotel?

Phyllis: No. It’s such a great day. I’ll wait for you.

Jack: Play nice.

Phyllis: [ Laughs ]

Jack: Hello?

Diane: He knows you so well. It’s so cute.

Phyllis: I want to get something straight with you right now. When it comes to pain medicine,

Adam: You say victoria didn’t abandon the company, but yet where is she?

Ashland: Look, adam, I see what you’re trying to do here, okay? It’s so pedestrian, it’s laughable. It’s pathetic, actually. You’re trying to convince me that victoria is no longer a reason for me to stay here in genoa city. If she’s not here, why would i stick around, right?

Adam: [ Laughs ] You…caught me.

Ashland: Yeah, but she’s gonna come back soon, I would imagine. She’s not gonna stay away forever. She’s probably just working remotely right now. And newman, by the way, has thrived under her leadership.

Adam: Well, of course. She is a business genius.

Ashland: She is. This company has a strong foundation. It’s in a good position to move forward in the future, except, of course — I’m sorry — for the media division.

Adam: Newman media?

Ashland: Yeah.

Adam: Oh, wait a second. That’s my division. Why am I not surprised that you would think that’s the weak link?

Ashland: Oh, I’m sorry. I just assumed you knew that chancellor and hamilton-winters are merging, and they’re all set to just wipe newman media off the face of the earth, I mean, especially ’cause you’re making these terrible decisions, like appointing your girlfriend coo. Oh, you got your hands full with that one, by the way.

Adam: You do her a disservice by calling her my girlfriend. She’s much more than that.

Ashland: Mm.

Adam: She’s a force of nature, and the world will soon discover that.

Ashland: [ Laughs ] Well, you know what else is a force of nature? An erupting volcano. I wouldn’t appoint one coo.

Adam: That is a good one. I’ve always found you entertaining, locke.

Ashland: Mm.

Adam: Like when you pretended to cough up a lung to get my sister to like you. That was quite a spectacle. You know, in the beginning, i was really rooting for you and victoria. I thought it made sense. You both are workaholics. And, you know, given her intense daddy issues, it made sense why she would be drawn to a megalomaniac older man with a checkered past.

Ashland: Mm, says the man who spent his entire adult life alternating between trying to lash out at his father and trying to win his father’s approval.

Adam: Well, of course i didn’t realize that your relationship with my sister was based on a lie. And I will grudgingly give you credit to committing to the bit. Your performance was quite impressive. You know, maybe now, since your business career has hit the skids, you could head out to hollywood and you could try to make it as an actor.

Ashland: Oh, god, no. No, I don’t think so. Look, it’s obvious you’re just trying everything you can to get me to leave town. Give up, okay? I’m not going anywhere.

Adam: I’m just trying to spare you the humiliation of having victoria reject you again.

Ashland: No, you see, I’m beginning to wonder if you’re trying to get me to leave genoa city before victoria gets back because you’re afraid the opposite might happen, that she might actually take me back.

Adam: No. No. I think you had a chance to work things out a few weeks ago, but, uh, now she’s fled the country. You should take that as a hint. You are never going to get her to forgive you.

Ashland: Watch me.

Kyle: I don’t want to rush into this. I worry about how the restraining order will affect harrison.

Summer: Of course. We’ll be sensitive to his feelings, just like we discussed.

Kyle: But completely removing ashland from his life — I don’t know how he’ll react. He still has an attachment to ashland. He’s been asking about him. And the little boy — he’s had so much upheaval in his young life. Look, I don’t want to rush into this. It will cause him great distress ripping away another member of his family.

Victor: Kyle, I understand, okay? This is a tough balancing act. But you must remember that ashland locke brought this all onto himself. He’s desperate. He’s lashing out. I don’t want him to use harrison as a pawn.

Kyle: You think that’s a real possibility?

Victor: Yeah, I do.

Summer: I agree. We know what ashland is capable of now, such hideous and hurtful lies.

Victor: We can come up with some story explaining why ashland locke had to leave town suddenly.

Summer: I think it’s for the best, kyle. Remember how harrison was when we first moved to milan? He missed his mom and his father, but we comforted him. He knew that he was loved, and he came out of it.

Kyle: I see the logic. It’s just going to be hard.

Summer: Ashland has already discussed bringing in lawyers. We should probably beat him to the punch.

Victor: We should indeed.

Kyle: We handle this with great care to minimize harrison’s upset. There’s no point in putting it off so we can spare his pain in the future. There’s no reason to put off the inevitable, so let’s just tell michael to move forward with the restraining order.

Victor: Good. I agree with you. Now… once your mother finds out that the two of you are not moving back to milan, she’s gonna cause problems. I can have michael baldwin drop some papers, you know, issue the same restraining order against her.

Diane: You seem a little worked up, phyllis. Are you okay?

Phyllis: No. No, I am not okay. You seem to think that you and jack and kyle and harrison are a package deal. I think you’ve forgotten something.

Diane: What’s that?

Phyllis: Jack hates you.

Diane: Oh, I think you’re overstating it.

Phyllis: No. Jack hates you. With the great white heat of a thousand suns, he hates you. He puts up a front when kyle is around, but when kyle’s gone, wow. It’s shocking to me how much jack hates you.

Diane: Well, I think it’s flattering how intense jack’s feelings are for me. You know what that means. We have such history, some bad, but most of it good.

Jack: Everything okay here?

Phyllis: It’s great. Yeah, it’s really good. Hey, I have an idea.

Jack: Oh? What’s that?

Phyllis: Yeah. Well, I mean, we had such a great celebration outside with our picnic. Um, let’s bring our celebration indoors. How about that?

Jack: Uh-huh.

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ]

[ Door closes ] Motrin works fast to stop pain where it starts.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Diane: [ Sighs ] Damn it, phyllis.

Jack: Um, this is what you had in mind?

Phyllis: Yes, this is what i had in mind. I’ve been thinking about this all day.

Jack: Yeah?

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. Oh, I’m so positive. I fe so positive.

Jack: Yeah, so am I.

Phyllis: Mmm. Good.

[ Sighs ] And you know what? I trace back my positivity to when we made love. That’s why I feel like this. We took it slow. We took it slow, but now… this is where we are. And we deserve this, jack.

Jack: Wait, wait, no. Tell me what that —

Phyllis: We deserve this.

Jack: Tell me what that means.

Phyllis: Happiness. We deserve happiness.

Jack: We —

Phyllis: Ahh. ‘Cause we are inevitable.

Jack: Okay, I have to —

Phyllis: The two of us are inevitable.

Jack: I have to ask if this sudden brazenness has to do with diane.

Phyllis: Wait. Diane? What?

Jack: She showed up at crimson lights, and all of a sudden you can’t keep your hands off of me.

Phyllis: Because you’re irresistible.

Jack: Wait, honey. Level with me. She get under your skin?

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] No. I mean, maybe diane coming into town pushed me towards you, made me see what was really there. You know what I mean? But that’s it. Made me realize… that I want you. You are the endgame. We are the endgame.

Jack: Okay.

Kyle: I don’t need a restraining order against my mother. She is family to me. We had a strong bond when I was a kid, a foundation to build on, but my relationship with ashland is rocky at best. My mother has respected my decisions and followed my lead when it comes to harrison, but we don’t know what ashland will do.

Victor: That’s fair.

Kyle: And ashland’s lies were aggressive. He was trying to get his hands on your company.

Victor: Hmm.

Kyle: When my mother faked her death, I came to realize it was defensive. There were forces out there she was trying to protect herself from.

Victor: Mm-hmm. So, you are staying in town because of your mother?

Kyle: You seem bothered by that.

Summer: There are other reasons for considering making a permanent return to genoa city.

Kyle: But I haven’t given up on my mother, if that’s what you’re hoping for, victor.

Victor: Kyle, with all due respect, I would rethink that if I were you.

Kyle: It’s not going to happen.

Summer: Okay, but we are all in agreement about the restraining order for ashland.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Summer: So, what’s the next step?

Victor: Michael baldwin will file the restraining order, you know? That’s it. Now I need to get going. Alright? Kyle, I got to tell you, ever since you discovered that harrison was your son, I have noticed that you have a very strong paternal instinct, very protective, very loving, very supportive of harrison. You’ll be a much better father than ashland locke will ever be.

will continue.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Adam: This is a surprise. I thought you were busy with meetings.

Victor: I rescheduled, son.

Adam: Why?

Victor: What do you mean, why? I have work to do.

Adam: You’re sure that’s all it is?

Victor: Why do you ask?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Well, at the risk of sounding paranoid, a regime change?

Victor: Son, if I did that without informing you, that would be rather cold-blooded, wouldn’t it?

Adam: Some people would say that you are more than capable of making a move like that.

Victor: Who are some people?

Adam: The hosts of that new podcast, “the grinning soul,” say that the so-called business elites are all corrupted by power. Makes it sound like it’s a personality defect.

Victor: He’s a blithering idiot.

Adam: Well, that idiot is gaining an audience. Billy abbott may be onto something when he hand-picked that guy to be on his platform and also start his own podcast.

Victor: If you don’t like what that man says, why the hell do you listen to him?

Adam: Billy’s musings are a bit of a joke, but I think he’s onto something with the podcast focusing on a particular audience. I had the same idea for newman.

Victor: And I told you to run with it.

Adam: You did. And that was the right call. But then all hell broke loose with victoria and locke, and i got kicked out of the co-ceo and replaced with nikki. Opportunity lost.

Victor: Please stop whining about that, alright? You’ve told me several times that you missed out on opportunities at newman.

Michael: Here is a copy of the restraining order. Look it over and let me know if you’d like me to change anything.

[ Cellphone vibrates ] Oh. Hmm. Oh, excuse me. I got take this. Yes?

Kyle: [ Sighs ]

Summer: [ Sighs ] Is everything okay?

Kyle: I think so.

Summer: I know that you still have a few doubts, but this is the right thing to do.

Kyle: I hope so.

Summer: Do you remember that nightmare that harrison had, ashland in the graveyard? He woke up crying for “father.” That was all because of ashland’s lies. Don’t feel sorry for him. He is despicable. He used harrison as a part of his scam. No one could possibly think that he was lying after he told his own son that he was sick and dying.

Kyle: Yeah. I have no sympathy for him. I am focusing on my son. I’m worried about how this will affect him.

Summer: I get it. I’m concerned, too.

[ Breathes deeply ] I know that I’m not harrison’s biological mother. But I am going to protect that boy with all that I have. Right now, ashland has a right to see harrison. You signed a document agreeing to that. We have to get rid of that document. If ashland goes to court demanding to see him, we can’t have that happen. This is the first step in stopping that. We can’t let ashland put any more lies or poison in his head.

Kyle: You’re right. I can’t let that happen.

Ashland: Harrison!

Harrison: Father!

Ashland: Hey! It’s good to see you, big guy! How you doing, huh?

Harrison: Good.

Linda: Excuse me. What are you doing?

Ashland: Oh, oh, I’m sorry. I’m, uh — I’m ashland locke. I’m harrison’s, well, other father.

Linda: I know who you are.

Ashland: Oh. Excellent. Well, it’s nice to meet you, and thank you for taking such good care of him. It’s a really great coincidence that we’ve run into each other here because if you want to take a break, I would love to have some alone time with him.

Diane: I received a courtesy text message that some mail was mistakenly left here for me. I had requested to have it sent to me at my new room at the athletic club, but someone chose not to do that.

Clerk: Would you like me to look into it?

Diane: Oh, no, no, it’s alright. I’m certain I know who’s responsible. Don’t worry. I know it wasn’t you. It must be an absolute terror working for phyllis. Exhausting at the very least. Am I right?

Clerk: Let me see what I can find, ms. Jenkins.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] Phyllis, you are a piece of work.

Phyllis: Uh, I’m a piece of work? I kicked you out of my hotel. Leave. Goodbye.

Diane: I will gladly leave once I get the mail that you were supposed to forward to me.

Phyllis: The mail’s right there. Get it and get out.

Diane: I need to go through it, make sure I’m not missing anything.

Jack: Come here. Come here. What is going on?

Phyllis: What are you talking about?

Jack: We just had a wonderful time upstairs, and suddenly you have to get dressed and have to come down here.

Phyllis: It’s a busy afternoon. We’re short-staffed.

Jack: I think the timing’s kind of interesting.

Phyllis: Are you saying i planned this? Want more from your vitamins?

Phyllis: Do you really think that I would plan us getting off of the elevator when diane arrived at the hotel? I mean, how could I even do that?

Jack: You’re saying it’s beyond your capabilities?

Phyllis: I mean, well, it’s definitely not beyond my capabilities. We both know that. But I would never do th– listen. I’m not gonna ruin an amazing afternoon with us, you know, by an appearance of diane. You know that, right?

Jack: I just don’t get it. Were you trying to impress her? Are you marking your territory?

Phyllis: No, I’m not doing any of that. I mean, you believe me, right?

Jack: Your blouse is still unbuttoned.

Phyllis: Thank you.

Jack: Listen, I got a meeting to get to, and it’s gonna take the valet a while to get my car, so…we’ll talk later.

Phyllis: Right. You were amazing, by the way! You were wonderful! Did you hear that?

Diane: Uh, don’t mind me. I’m just gathering my correspondence.

Phyllis: Mm, well, you’re gonna take 30 minutes looking through those letters. By the way… stop what you’re doing. Stop filling jack’s head with suspicions.

Diane: Is he questioning your motives? Oh, no. But I don’t think he’s getting those ideas from me. Jack’s not stupid. He can see what you’re up to.

Phyllis: I’m not up to anything, diane.

Diane: Oh, my gosh. I don’t know if you’re delusional and really believe that or you’ve become a terrible liar. It’s okay, phyllis. I get it. The relationship isn’t solid. So you’re lashing out at me because you feel insecure.

Phyllis: I’m not insecure. There’s nothing insecure about me. I’m not insecure about my relationship with jack, by the way. And you should know that you will never, ever, ever, ever have a romantic relationship with jack abbott ever again. When he came down here, he couldn’t stand the sight of you. That’s why he ran out of here so quickly.

Diane: I-I don’t think it was me that he was trying to get away from.

Diane: Look at you two! Like a couple of teenagers. Or was all that sloppy kissing for my benefit?

Jack: And keep in mind there is a lot of contentious history between the two of them.

Diane: Well, I’m just pointing out that I show up in town and everyone starts falling in love, like you two. The timing is…

Diane: Well, I’m just pointing out that I show up in town and everyone starts falling in love.

Kyle: Why would there be a connection between my mother coming back and you and phyllis getting together?

Jack: I’m just struck by…

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Victor: Son, you’re gonna have to get over your grievances, alright? This “I should have been running newman enterprises” refrain is getting tiresome and won’t get you anywhere. And I won’t have you continue to tarnish victoria’s work.

Adam: I wasn’t tarnishing anything. I was just reminding you that we had the podcast idea first.

Victor: Then do it! Do your own podcast. Create your own streaming platform out of here, out of this office. This is your domain.

Adam: Sure. Sure. I can initiate a project like that. Then victoria’s gonna come home and she’s gonna shut it down because it’s my idea.

Victor: Make it so damn profitable that she can’T.

Adam: I will do my best.

Victor: Good. I know this is very frustrating for you. I understand that. But you have got to know that ashland locke is now out of victoria’s life. He’ll soon be out of town. And victoria will move on. And things will get back to normal.

Adam: Well, maybe I would be more motivated about all of this if you shared your plan with me.

Ashland: [ Imitating explosions ]

[ Laughs ] Oh, you know, everybody needs a break, so if you want to step away for a minute, stretch your legs…

Linda: My legs are fine.

Ashland: Uh, okay. Well, um, would it be okay if i just take him down to the duck pond and we can feed the ducks, huh? Just the two of us. What do you think?

Harrison: Yeah!

Ashland: Yay!

Kyle: No ducks today, buddy, but how about some ice cream?

Harrison: Yeah!

Kyle: Yeah? Linda, do you mind to make sure harrison gets extra sprinkles on his cone?

Linda: Do you want chocolate or strawberry today?

Harrison: Chocolate.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ]

Harrison: Can father come?

Ashland: Y-you know what? I can’t right now, so you enjoy your ice cream, and I’ll see you soon, and then we’ll feed the ducks together. How’s that? Yeah? Okay. Okay. You know, I didn’t, uh — I didn’t realize I needed to bring a lawyer with me to visit with harrison at the park, but if that’s the way you want to play it, then next time I’ll bring an army of lawyers.

Michael: May I?

Kyle: I’ll handle it. We filed a restraining order against you. You will be served later today.

Ashland: You can’t be serious.

Kyle: Mm. Legally, you can no longer spend time with harrison. You must avoid all contact with him. And now please welcome ana montoya.

Victor: My plan to make sure that ashland locke leaves town is already in motion.

Adam: While victoria is out of town?

Victor: Yeah. With her out of town, there’s no reason for him to stay here, except one.

Adam: [ Sighs ] That, um, boy, harrison.

Victor: Yeah.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Victor: And I told kyle and summer to make sure that he doesn’t get near the boy.

Adam: Can they do that legally? I thought ashland’s name was on the birth certificate. I assume that gives him some rights.

Victor: I told them to get a restraining order.

Adam: Locke has a lot of expensive lawyers at his disposal. He could fight it.

Victor: Oh, yeah? Think about it for a moment. Do you think he wants his cancer scam to become public knowledge and public record?

Adam: You are definitely playing hard ball. But you’ve always had a soft spot for kids. I mean, this is coming at harrison’s expense.

Victor: That kid will be much better off without locke filling his head with lies.

Adam: I suppose.

Victor: Without that little boy, there’s not a damn reason for ashland locke to stay in town, okay?

Ashland: This is a joke. Michael, you are a joke.

Michael: I’ve been called worse.

Ashland: My lawyers will chew you up and spit you out. This restraining order you are talking about — it will end up in the trash.

Michael: Oh, well, we look forward to hearing your counterarguments in court. I personally am going to enjoy hearing you explain to the judge that you lied to an innocent young child about your illness and your impending death and your entirely stolen identity.

Ashland: Kyle, this is unfair, not just to me, but to harrison. You are punishing harrison for the deeply regretted mistakes of his father.

Kyle: We are protecting harrison.

Ashland: From me?

Kyle: That’s right.

Ashland: I have done nothing but look out for that boy. I could have made a scene just now. I could have demanded time with him, which I am entitled to, but I didn’t do that because i didn’t want him to get upset.

Kyle: No, you told him you were dying. That was upsetting to him.

Ashland: Which I deeply regret and I’ve apologized for.

Kyle: Okay, you know, enough! I don’t want you anywhere near my son ever, and if you really love him, want to protect him from heartache, you will leave.

Ashland: I just want to spend some time with him.

Kyle: No, I have made up my mind! It’s best if harrison doesn’t think you’re in town ignoring him. We’ll tell him a story or something.

Ashland: [ Scoffs ]

Kyle: But either way, you will be gone.

Ashland: This is monstrous.

Kyle: No, ashland. You are.

Jack: Ah.

Diane: Maybe I’m not jack’s favorite person right now, but i remember times he couldn’t tolerate you. Apparently, he got over that.

Phyllis: Well, he just did a lot of tolerating of me upstairs just now.

Diane: Ugh! What do you want? A trophy? A standing ovation? “Best sex in the afternoon”?

Phyllis: Yeah, yeah, I want a medal right here. Right here is where I want my medal.

Diane: Oh, well, then congratulations on your tacky display. You practically jumped on the desk and waved your bra in the air — “we did it! Jack and I had sex upstairs!” Well done.

[ Scoffs ] But is that really such an accomplishment for you? Frankly, when I heard you bought a hotel, I thought you’d name it something closer to home than the “grand phoenix,” something like “quickie inn” or “bedpost notches.”

Phyllis: Okay, you know jack is more than a bedpost notch for me.

Diane: Do I?

[ Chuckles ] All kidding aside, we both know why you’re making such a show of this, taking a victory lap. It’s because this moment is probably the closest you’ll ever get to happiness. Deep down, you know that you and jack won’t last. This time won’t be any different than all the others, phyllis. You can get them into bed, but you can’t keep them.

Phyllis: Let me tell you — yeah, yeah, I accelerated my relationship with jack to throw it in your face. Who cares? Who cares? It proved my point because jack and I have a deep, connected relationship, something, diane, you will never, ever have! So, yeah, I was marking my territory, and you know what? It feels good!

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Interview with Eric Kripke, Karl Urban, Chace Crawford, Claudia Doumit, Antony Starr and Erin Moriarty

TV Interview!

"The Boys" on Amazon Prime

Interview with Eric Kripke, Karl Urban, Chace Crawford, Claudia Doumit, Antony Starr and Erin Moriarty of “The Boys” on Prime Video by Suzanne 6/1/22

This is one of my favorite shows, even though it’s exceedingly violent and gory. I just love the characters, the story and the humor. I was very happy to be included in this year’s press day for the show. They didn’t allow us to record the video, unfortunately. Also, I was not able to ask Starr and Moriarity a question because the other journalists asked questions that were way too long. We were told to only ask one question, with no followup, but they didn’t follow the rules. We’re very limited in time. It’s such a shame, but I’ve included their questions here, at least. I heard that many journalists were asking some very bawdy questions about certain sex scenes in the show! It was pretty funny…You will understand more when you see the whole Season 3!

Showrunner Eric Kripke and star Karl Urban (Billy)

Suzanne: Oh, hi. Eric, one thing I’ve noticed with a lot of action shows is that it seems that they have to keep upping the ante every season on action and violence to keep the fans happy. Is this a pressure that you feel, or do you put pressure on yourself instead?

Eric: I actually don’t… we never tried to play the game of topping ourselves because I think it never leads to a really creatively, rich or fertile direction because you’re only thinking about steps and not about the characters. So what I always say in the [writers’] room is [that] the mandate is, “Don’t try to go bigger, try to go deeper.” And, “What’s a new aspect of all of these characters that we haven’t seen yet?” That every season has to get you even closer to the core of who they are. And that’s really challenging because you got to come up with new– you got to keep finding stuff that’s even deeper than the thing you did the season before. But if you… once you find that, then you say, okay, what’s the best way to dramatize that in this insane world that the show takes place in, and then that just kind of inevitably leads to these bananas moments. I really, swear to God, I don’t try to have it be bigger. I think the deeper you go into these characters and the more, you know, extreme their emotions are… just when you dramatize them, it just results in these, like, bat shit moments.

Suzanne: Like giving Karl’s character super powers?

Eric: Right. For example.

Karl: The explosive opening sequence was really born out of one of the worst allergy attacks, uh, you’ve ever had, right? [Laughs]

Eric: Right.

Suzanne: Well, thank you very much.

Karl: Thank you.

Henry: Thank you both for your time today. Amazing season. I love the show. I just want to start off by asking Eric, how long have you been waiting for Jensen Ackles to be available after you worked with him on “Supernatural?” It feels like this has been a placeholder character for him because of how you’ve worked with him in the past and how you know he’s going to do. And to Karl, we talked about going deeper and not bigger. What was it like to go find that the deeper you go into Billy Butcher, you sort of see a character that is getting… we started getting more comparisons to Homelander and how much of a threat and danger he is to those around him? And what have you felt about exposing that character in that way.

Karl: Okay. That was a great question. Um, yeah, I mean, in terms of elements about Homeland and Butcher, which have a similarity about them… in my opinion, the biggest similarity between them is the fact that they are both driven to destroy each other, and they are… neither of them are happy with the status quo. Uh, and on that issue alone, I think there is common ground, but fundamentally they’re quite different characters. And, uh, you know, think that, yes, Butcher has done some highly questionable things, and obviously Homelander has, too, but to my mind…I don’t even see that there are opposite sides of the same coin. I think they really both have so many different, wonderful shades with them, and then some of them overlap.

Eric: To answer your Jennson question. Uh, how long have I been waiting? About 15 years. Look, obviously, I love Jensen, and I’m not sure if you’ve heard or not, but I worked with him for a minute. So, when you do that many seasons of a TV show, you put them through every possible emotional permutation, you know, and one of the things I love about Jensen is how adept he is at every single thing you throw at him. He can be emotional, he can be scary, he can be funny, he can be charming, he can be sweet. Because of that, it allowed me to put all of those colors into Soldier Boy. Because [with] Soldier Boy, we needed him to be all of those things. And so it’s fun. It always takes you a minute as the writers and the actors are kind of feeling each other out to really start writing, like, “Oh, okay.” It starts to meld into one beautiful thing. I think that’s what we’re doing with all “The Boys” characters right now. So it was nice to have a new character show up, and for me to immediately be able to do that instead of having to go through that same process of discovery.

Monica: I’m going to just go right in. So, Karl, Butcher hates supes, obviously, but you’re slowly, you know, taking the temp V. So is he becoming something that he’s ultimately going to end up hating, or is he even aware of it as the season goes on? And then for Eric… music has been a huge part of the show. This will all come out later, but the musical episode was fantastic, so I wanted to ask about the constant use of Billy Joel. And if you have other musical things that you plan on doing, maybe a musical episode? And then, will Soldier Boy be back for next season?

Karl: Wow. A lot going on there.

Eric: Yeah.

Monica: I threw it all out! (Laughs)

Karl: Yeah, So, the moral dilemma for Butcher this season is, “Are you willing to turn yourself into the monster in order to defeat the monster?” And in Butcher’s case, the frustration that he feels has become so palpable, the danger that he senses in terms of Homelander getting closer to discovering the location of Ryan, and his general frustration with the lack of traction that he’s getting in taking down The Seven in conventional ways means that he decides to take that step and the wonderful thing about the way that it’s written is that Butcher is actually quite self-aware along the way. And he has, you know, a wonderful conversation with M.M., where he is, you know, pretty candid about that. He’s under no illusions as to exactly who he is. And then, he also has a great conversation with somebody else where he discusses the nature of power and what it does to people. So I think that it’s very cleverly written, and Butcher is a hundred percent aware that he’s making a very morally bankrupt choice. But he decides to do it anyway. And in true, “Boys” fashion, when you make the right choice, you get rewarded. And when you make the wrong choice, you get punished. And you know, every character in the show this season is really kind of faced with a precipice, and they have to decide whether they’re going to leap or not.

Eric: Yeah, just to.. (and then I’ll talk about the music thing) One thing that’s interesting that Karl touched on that we all talk about is: for as crazy and cynical as “The Boys” is, we take a lot of care to make sure it takes place in a moral universe. And you can tell who will win or lose this season based on the decisions they’re making. And is it a morally solid decision, or is it a morally bankrupt decision? And you can go through almost every season, for sure, and when they make the wrong choice, they tend to lose the season. And when they make the right choice, they tend to win it.

Eric: Um, in terms of the music…

Karl: And we’ll say, that is why Butcher has never won a season

(Both laugh)

Eric: It’s hard for Butcher to win a season.

Karl: Yeah, yeah. In terms of the music…

Eric: He’ll win at the end. Um, you know, in terms of like where the Billy Joel came from… where it really came from was [this: in] season one, we really scored all the needle drops from Butcher’s point of view. So it was all, like, a lot of punk rock. And then [in] season two, we thought, just to mix it up, we would score all the needle drops from Huey’s point of view…and Huey really loves yacht rock; that’s his thing. So Billy Joel was kind of a perfect, uh, indicator. And then each Billy Joel song really represents the emotions that he was going through that season. So it became this bizarre rock opera of Huey steps that we really loved. And in terms of the musical number this season… I’m just a huge fan of Hollywood musicals. Like, I love them, like, they’re so brilliantly done, and I’ve just been hungry to get a number in. I don’t think we’ll be able to do a whole musical episode because “The Boys” is just not that stylized of a show. It takes pains to take place in our version of reality; but to be able to like, just have a completely candy-colored, innocent sweetness in the middle of our, you know, bloody little milkshake was just a treat. And you can’t watch that sequence without a big smile on your face.

Karl: Entire musical episodes usually happen in season eight or nine when the writers are completely dried up of ideas.

Eric: We hope to be long gone [by then]. That’s a wrap around when Butcher moves to Hawaii and adopts a precocious child, and we’re going to get out before that.

Sophia: Karl, Eric, it’s such a pleasure to speak with both of you. Thank you for taking the time. So I just want to ask both of you the same question, just phrased differently. Eric, obviously we have a season four, which I’m so excited for, but do you have any sort of end in mind? Not that I want it to end any time soon, but do you have anything for it? And then Carl, is there anything you’d like to do with your character before the show comes to an end?

Eric: Yes. We’re thinking about it all building towards a thing, but also, I was in many interviews saying that “Supernatural” wraps out in five years. Um, So, there’s literally no other person in television history, more wrong about the length of their show…

Karl: (Laughs)

Eric: Literally, like this isn’t even hyperbole, like… I’m the most wrong that anyone’s ever been about how long a show goes. So I have learned my lesson and I do not publicly say how long I think the show should go. We’ll see how it.

Karl: I, too, have learned my lesson never to articulate any desires about what my character should or shouldn’t do in a show.

Eric: (Laughs)

Karl: Because as soon as an actor articulates it, it will never happen.

Eric: Or it’ll happen in such a horrible way…

Karl: Exactly.

Eric: He’ll regret having ever brought up.

Karl: Even furthermore, ma’am, I will not tell Krip what I do not want to do because that is a hundred percent guaranteed to make it into the show.

Eric: Can I tell you something? Someone said to me, during one of these interviews today, “You know, I was just interviewing Erin, and she really pointed out she hasn’t been covered in blood yet.”

Karl: (Laughs)

Eric: And I was like, that was a mistake. Yeah.

(Both laugh)

Karl: Laz* made the same mistake.

Eric: Yeah, he really did.

[*Laz Alonso, who plays M.M.]

As we said our goodbyes, I not only thanked them for the interview but for including one of my favorite actors because he has a great small part this season. I can’t say who that is, sorry!

Chace Crawford (Kevin AKA The Deep) and Claudia Doumit (Victoria Neuman)

Moderator: Hello, everyone. Just a friendly reminder to keep your mics muted, unless you’re asking a question. And Suzanne, you can take the next one.

Suzanne: Hi! You both… your characters are not what we would really call “good people,” but you also, well… Chase, you have a lot of– you’re, sort of the comic relief a lot of times, but, um, you both make us feel sympathy for your character at times. And how do you go about that, and is it difficult?

Claudia: I mean, I think it’s really easy to say the word “villains” in places like, bad or good. And I think these characters… I’m just always wary of saying that because–

Chase: Right. Life isn’t like that. The world’s not like that.

Claudia: No, and these are people and they’re going through many different things. Um, what a vague answer, Claudia that you’re giving right now…

Suzanne: [Laughs]

Chace: [Laughs]

Claudia: I’m going to possibly, uh…

Chace: I’ll say it like it is, I mean, the characters don’t judge themselves. Right? So you have to see it from their point of view. But for the show in the writing, I feel like it’s in there. Like they allow us to do these really, uh, interesting, weird things… To me, for me it would be like… one of the things that season one, at the end, we sort of– Eric calls it the Britney moment where he like is drunk and breaks down and shaves his head. It is such a weird thing, but you see, and as an audience– he’s by himself, you see this like kind of breakdown moments…just really interesting ’cause that’s kind of how he really, really is. And he’s sort of sheds that veneer, but he’s also, you know, just very deeply, it’s.. (I keep doing it) DEEPly insecure–

Claudia: DEEPly!

Chace: And he needs to be validated. So, yeah. So, can you be both of those things? Can you be an asshole and assault someone like he did in one episode and also try to save a dolphin, and have, like, a weird romantic relationship. It’s like so bizarre. And like, they deal with the tonal shifts so well, but I don’t really think, you know, it’s all gray. It’s not really…

Claudia: And they really dive into the gray on this show, and I think that’s important because human beings. Aren’t just like that… they’re three dimensional characters, and it’s a character-driven show. Like, sure, there’s explosions, and giant dicks, Herogasm and everything. But, it’s also, these characters are so rich…the writer’s room are fantastic at really making sure that that is the case. And I think that’s what makes it so entertaining to watch, too.

Chace: Right.

Claudia: Yeah.

Chace: And people can, yeah. They sort of… I want to say they can relate to that. No, I mean, but like it does give it a more well-rounded human dynamic of just, like the normal superhero arc of like, do this. And they’re only showing one side, but, uh, it’s fun to play.

Claudia: Because that’s what people, also, human beings are like. They are just intricately rich. And I think we as humans live in that gray area, more so than just, like, black and white.

Chace: Right.

Claudia: Yeah.

Suzanne: Thank you!

I’ve deleted the rest of this and left out the audio due to spoilers. It will be put up later.

Antony Starr (Homelander) and Erin Moriarty (Annie AKA Starlight)

Here’s the transcript; I’m still editing it

Hi, welcome everyone. Thanks for Jane. Um, just reminders. You please keep yourself muted when it’s not your turn to ask a question, I’m going to quickly slate that this is for round table number four and Sophia, you can go ahead and start us off. Thanks. Hi Anthony. Aaron. Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with me today.

Uh, so you have soda with the nerds of color. Huge congrats on the new season. Thank you course. So first off I wanted to ask, you know, Homeland are definitely focuses on the far, right? And Starlight is more of the liberal front that they’re supposed to show this United front together. What can you tell me about the narrative that this story is trying to tell and basically make a parody over?

I mean, mine’s not difficult to figure out as Caroline, you know, isn’t, there’s always been an element. Uh, that guy in Homeland and Nevermore. So, I mean, never more so than a season three. I mean, we, we literally, we’re literally taking things that he’s said and, and seeing, you know, what would happen if I killed someone, you know, what would happen?

And, uh, it’s a. It’s a lot of fun and there’s a boardroom scene as well, like directly relates to a sick circle that we saw on the telly and that.

Oh, the one hand, I think it’s, I think it’s great that we can sort of parody it and, uh, lovingly poke fun at it. Uh, on the other hand, I think it’s tragic that. There’s so much material available at the moment to satirize and, um, and choose for, you know, we’re spoiled for choice, uh, at the moment. So as far as, especially as far as my side is concerned.

Yeah, yeah, no, I agree. And I think Starlight comes in and tries to shake things up because things are so corrupt in so many of the aspects of thought are so antiquated and. Sexist. And even the feminist press junket they had in the last season was so exhibitive and obligatory. So I think she tries to shake things up.

And I think the issue is, you know, again, another parallel which, um, draws from the real world is an antiquated system. How much can you change? Things get really locked into place and it’s so difficult and she tries her best, but. I, I think it reflects a lot of antiquated policies and things going on that we stopped that happened today and that we’ve not evolved.

Um, according to the times, so

Monica. Hi guys, how are you at my entertainment? And sounds onset podcasts check with you guys. Um, so you guys did a fantastic job this season. I’m going to ask them for the questions, but we’ll put it out later. Okay. So I want to ask for both of you the arcs. Yes. You guys are kind of on the opposite sides, but I don’t know if it was related and I’ll talk to Eric about it to the world in terms of.

Okay. I didn’t think that the boys could get any crazier and this is like next level crazy. So I wanted to know one, if. That that was influenced by like the world’s events to kind of heighten your characters up. And then second for, um, you know, Anthony for you. Um, a lot of your reassurance comes from yourself, like you’re your own character from Outlander.

So I wanted to know how you play off of that. And then Erin, you get a lot from your support team. So how you play off of that to get your strengths for each other. When you, sorry, go ahead. Well, I think I actually think in this season, I, I agree with you. I think this is, but this is something of an emancipation for Homeland or of like, you know, similarly the characters both find their voice in this season and realize that them speaking their truth will, will get them what they want in terms of fan base, uh, and the recognition and the attention that they want.

But homie’s always been basically a marketing. Packaged product. Uh, that’s always. Help sometimes literally by a mommy figure or someone supporting him or, you know, and he’s finally broken free of that. And it gets fed up and actually decides to take things on, on his own. And, um, you know, with that comes a lot more exposure.

So there’s no in cleaning up after or in front of him. And he makes a lot more mess for himself and he has to clean it up. He has to deal with it. So, uh, as to, as to. The show getting bigger and more expensive. I mean, you, I think it’s about on par, uh, I think right off the bat seeing, uh, Huey’s girlfriend explode in slow motion as a speeding bullet, man went through her.

Um, You know, I think that was a sign of things to come and I don’t think we’ve really done that much. I don’t think we deviated from that. Cause I just think it’s more of the same to me. Yeah. Yeah. And then, and then in terms of Starlights support team, sorry, will you ask that question again? Will you. Sure.

So like where does she, I would say where she gets her strength from and she has a support the report team. And are you talking about the Starlight kind of the Alliance that is building like, almost like a political team behind her, is that, and that’s where she seems to find her strength and where she, I mean, I think, I think.

I think she’s, she’s found her. I think the strength that she’s found has kind of been an intrinsic thing. I think it’s been intrinsically motivated through, um, what she’s been through and what she’s learned from, and the grit she’s developed. I think this support team, I think we might see more of, and I think it might be a source of.

Support and validation for her and help her in her effort to expose that. But I do think that that her, her growing strength, this season confidence, et cetera, her voice, um, and her ultimate decision to be honest is, is an intrinsically motivated evolution. That’s just been. Developed over the past couple of seasons and as a result of integrated lessons.

Thank you guys so much. Thank you.

Um, did you say my name? I, I almost heard it. I didn’t. Yes, Henry. Okay. Thank you. Sorry. Um, and to me, or lovely to chat with you today. Thank you for your time. Love the new season. Um, so my first question, uh, we’ll break it out like this. Um, so to Aaron, what was it? And to both of you, what was it like to be in the, the filming of the hero chasm episode, which was the most different?

It felt like out of any episode of the series, but also to Anthony. Um, it felt like home ender when he was shouting about how it’s safe to go outside and safe to go to the rallies. It almost like a surrogate for going outside, living your life during COVID. I was wondering when you’re filming a show, On set and it felt like the boy was one of the shows that was returning to the set.

What was it like for you both to have the sort of. Knowledge that you’re doing the safest things you possibly can. We, we, we assume and believe while you’re also having this character. Who’s like projecting like, oh, it’s safe outside. Don’t worry about, yeah. I mean, the irony wasn’t lost. Uh, we were in the longest lockdown in human history up in Toronto.

So, so it didn’t, it didn’t go unnoticed saying one thing, doing another in real life. But like, I mean, what if my guy is a. He’s never really doing the right thing is he he’s always doing the wrong thing. I never, I mean, according to himself, it’s always the right thing. There’s very few people or characters actually that do anything.

Um, because I think it’s the wrong thing is, you know, they, they they’re doing what they believe is the right thing. So it’s always fun to, to say. Do the stupid things that he says and does, um, as far as here, orgasm, I’m going to cough it over to my friend here because I didn’t have a lot to do with it.

And I can only say I’m very grateful not to have been there. Yeah. It was a lot of time spent in a space, in a house full of naked people, simulating various types of sex. Um, And in a house filled with sex toys and sex swings. And I learned a lot about different things and I saw a lot of things I can’t un-see, but I actually, I knew it was going to be insane.

So I just embraced it and laughed a lot and just kind of had a fun time. But on the fifth day I had filled my quota of naked bodies for the week. Um, and, um, I will not be joining nudist colonies, a nudist colony anytime soon, because that’s just, you know, it’s, it’s, it’s a little, it’s a lot of genitalia in five days.

It’s a lot of, you know, even there was even a butthole shot. So it just was all a lot. I saw a lot, I saw a lot, um, and it was hilarious, fun, excessive, uh, but it’s going to be a great idea.

Great. Thank you all so much for joining us. That’s all the time we have for this round table. Thank you. Thank you. That was biblical. On the fifth day, I reached my quota of naked a lie.

About

It’s been a year of calm. Homelander’s subdued. Butcher works for the government, supervised by Hughie of all people. But both men itch to turn this peace and quiet into blood and bone. So when The Boys learn of a mysterious Anti-Supe weapon, it sends them crashing into the Seven, starting a war, and chasing the legend of the first Superhero: Soldier Boy.

The Boys is a fun and irreverent take on what happens when superheroes—who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and as revered as gods—abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. Intent on stopping the corrupt superheroes, The Boys, a group of vigilantes, continue their heroic quest to expose the truth about The Seven and Vought—the multibillion-dollar conglomerate that manages the superheroes and covers up their dirty secrets. It’s the seemingly powerless against the super powerful.

Season Three of The Boys stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Nathan Mitchell, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, and Jensen Ackles.

The Boys Are Back! Take a First Look at Season Three With a Mind-Blowing Teaser

Mar 12, 2022

The Emmy-nominated global hit drama series from Amazon Studios and Sony Pictures Television returns to Prime Video June 3

WATCH THE TRAILER

AUSTIN, Texas—March 12, 2022—Today, Prime Video revealed the first teaser from the highly anticipated third season of the Emmy-nominated drama The Boys during their panel at South by Southwest (SXSW). During the panel—moderated by Christian Slater, who voices a character in the animated anthology series The Boys Presents: Diabolical—cast members and showrunner Eric Kripke revealed details about the next installment of the fan-favorite superhero series.

The teaser showcases just some of the truly diabolical moments ahead, and offers a glimpse at all of the fan-favorite characters and fresh faces from the upcoming season of The Boys. It is also set to the song “Bones,” the first new music from Grammy-winning band Imagine Dragons’ forthcoming releaseMercury – Act 2 (KIDinaKORNER/Interscope Records).

The series will debut on Prime Video with three episodes on Friday, June 3. New episodes will be available each Friday following, leading up to the epic season finale on July 8. The eight-episode season will stream exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

The Boys is a fun and irreverent take on what happens when superheroes—who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians, and as revered as gods—abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. Intent on stopping the corrupt superheroes, The Boys, a group of vigilantes, continue their heroic quest to expose the truth about The Seven and Vought—the multibillion-dollar conglomerate that manages the superheroes and covers up their dirty secrets. It’s the seemingly powerless against the super powerful.

Season Three of The Boys stars Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Dominique McElligott, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Nathan Mitchell, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, and Jensen Ackles.

Review of “Eraser: Reborn”

DVD Review!

Eraser: Reborn (Blu-ray+Digital) DVD cover

“Eraser: Reborn” (Blu-ray+Digital) Review by Suzanne 6/1/22

If you’re a fan of action flicks, you’ll probably enjoy this low-budget movie. It’s a reboot of a 90’s movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Vanessa Williams, James Caan and other big names. I’m sure that was a much better movie. This one has a lot more technology. The movie is about a special FBI team that helps witnesses in WitSec get “erased” so they can stay alive.  It stars British actor Dominic Sherwood, who does a passable job here with an American accent; and Jacky Lai, who plays the woman being protected (or, erased). The script is not very interesting and everyone seems to mumble a lot. It does have a lot of shooting, running, chasing, etc.  There are some interesting twists and turns in the plot that you might not anticipate.

The DVD just has one feature about the making of the movie.

As the two flee to Cape Town, South Africa, with a team of merciless assassins on their trail, Pollard discovers he’s been set up. Double-crossed and fueled by adrenaline, he needs to be at the top of his game, or he’ll be the one who’s erased. Permanently.

Interview with the cast of “The Orville”

TV Interview!

"The Orville: New Horizons" poster

Interview with actors and producers from “The Orville” on HULU by Suzanne 5/16/22

“The Orville” returns for season 3 on June 2 on HULU. I can’t wait for you to see it. The first episode is fantastic. Truly! I was very happy to chat with some of the actors and writer/executive producers. I wish I had more than 10 minutes with each!

Here are the videos, we hope to have the transcripts up very soon!

Interview with executive producers Brannon Braga, Jon Cassar and David Goodman

I love talking with writers and producers because they can really tell you what’s going on with the show.

I hadn’t yet finished watching season 2 when I did these interviews. I sent a follow-up question to Brannon Braga: The Kaylon war happened and then there were 5 more episodes. Why did you wait for season 3 to address the crew’s feelings about Isaac? What was the thinking or reasoning behind that?

Answer: At the end of “Identity, Part Two”, there are three scenes where we deal with the Isaac issue. Ed and Kelly debate what to do about Isaac; Admiral Halsey informs them about the Union Council’s proposal that Isaac stay on board the Orville; and the final scene with Claire, where Isaac states he has no home, and Claire assures him that given enough time, forgiveness might one day be possible. Our thinking was that when the Captain gives an order with the Union Council’s, the Orville crew would follow that order, no matter what their personal feelings. It’s not until Ensign Charly Burke joins the crew that things get shaken up. It’s one of the reasons Seth created the character: to be a voice for the people who do not trust Isaac and want to hold him accountable for the deadly attack on Earth. That was by design. But some ideas emerge later, such as young Marcus’ trauma over the attack. We had that idea when we started work on Season Three. We had 5 cool episodes already planned to round out Season Two, and we stuck to that plan. The fallout from Isaac would happen in Season 3.

NOTE: The producers got one point wrong in that it was Ed and Kelly who asked for Isaac to remain on board; the Union wanted him to be taken apart. The main point is still correct, though.

Interview with Adrianne Palicki and Penny Johnson Jerald

I enjoyed talking with the women, especially Penny, who I’ve been a fan of since she was in “The Larry Sanders Show” years ago. Scifi fans no doubt remember her as Sisko’s girlfriend on “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” too.

Interview with Scott Grimes and J. Lee

They two guys were very nice. I loved Scott so much on “ER!”

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Devon: Hey, hey!

Abby: Hey! Mwah. Dominic is so excited about spending a few days with you guys.

Devon: Oh, he can’t be as excited as I am.

Amanda: No, no, devon has been like a 5-year-old on christmas morning. He woke up early just to make sure that dom had everything that he needed.

Devon: That’s right, I did. I missed you, buddy. I did. Ready to have a good time? You’re gonna love these new books I got for him.

Abby: Ooh.

Amanda: Oh, my gosh, he’s growing by the minute. I can’t get over how big he is.

Abby: Stronger, too. I mean, he’s developed quite an arm. You would not believe how far he can throw his breakfast food. I find cereal all over the place.

Devon: Oh, boy. No. I got to learn how to duck now.

Abby: [ Laughs ] Thinking about getting a dog to follow him around and clean up all his scraps.

[ Laughter ]

Devon: No. Well, I’ve been warned, but we’re gonna try and eat more than we throw when you’re here, okay?

Abby: Well, he has a very healthy appetite and he’s sleeping really well, too.

Devon: That’s great. Those are all signs that he’s made a full recovery.

Abby: Yeah, yeah. You know, his follow-up appointment is coming soon, but his doctors have been following his progress very closely since his bone marrow transplant, and they say he’s doing great.

Devon: That’s wonderful.

Abby: Thank god.

Devon: Yeah. We have a very resilient little boy, huh?

Abby: Yeah. He’s perfect, isn’t he?

Devon: Well, I’m not biased or anything.

Abby: [ Laughs ] Hi.

Nick: Hey.

Sharon: Hey, nick. Um…can I get you coffee?

Nick: No, I’m good, thanks. Just glad to see you smiling. I wasn’t sure you’d be working. I thought maybe you’d want some downtime after the wedding.

Sharon: No, I prefer to stay busy, just helps me keep my mind focused on the positive. But with ashland locke and diane jenkins traipsing through here, I’ve certainly had a lot of diversions.

Nick: And just one of them is a handful. How did it go?

Sharon: Um, I’d prefer not to get into the details, but I got a lot off my chest, and I said what was on my mind, and, you know, it was — it was fine. I’m fine.

Chance: Hey, nick.

Nick: Hey, what’s up, man?

Chance: How you doing?

Nick: Good.

Chance: Hi, sharon.

Sharon: Hey.

Chance: Hey, I was hoping i could talk to you for a few minutes. That is, if I’m not interrupting anything important.

Sharon: Uh, no, no, not at all.

Nick: Yeah, no, it’s cool.

Chance: Thank you.

Elena: [ Sighs ]

Nate: Hey.

Elena: Hey.

Nate: I was hoping I’d get to see you before I left.

Elena: Mm.

Nate: How was work?

Elena: Hmm, good, but I am exhausted.

Nate: Mm.

Elena: [ Chuckles ]

Nate: Those all-night shifts can be tough, and you’ve been doing a lot more than usual lately.

Elena: Yeah, you’ve been working pretty long hours, too. You know, I thought we’d be able to spend more time together when you changed careers. But with the chancellor-winters launch, doesn’t seem like that’s gonna be for a while.

Nate: We’re gonna have to work a lot harder to carve out some alone time for just us.

Elena: Sounds like a plan.

Nate: Hey, why don’t we schedule a date night this weekend? Something special, romantic, sexy.

Elena: This weekend?

[ Chuckles ] That sounds good. I’ll see you then.

Nate: You know what? My coffee run can wait. Why don’t I stick around for a little longer?

Elena: No, no. I don’t want to slow down chancellor-winter’s newest coo. Besides, I think I really need to take a nap.

Nate: Okay. Well, I’ll let you get some rest, and I will try to come back and see you before your next shift.

Elena: Okay.

Nate: Okay.

Elena: [ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Chance: So, again, I just have to congratulate you on the wedding. It was truly an amazing day.

Sharon: Oh, it really was wonderful, wasn’t it? You know, things actually went even better than I hoped. So thank you for being there. I’m really glad that you and abby could share that with us.

Chance: Absolutely. Did you ever hit the dance floor?

Sharon: No. It just didn’t seem right.

Chance: I understand.

Sharon: Well, hopefully, one day soon, I’ll get to the point where I find that doing things that remind me of rey bring me joy.

Chance: The other day, one of my teammates that was in spain with me, his wife called me. And I was actually happy to talk to her. And this feels weird telling this to a therapist, but eventually things do get better.

Sharon: Thank you. That means a lot, coming from you. I know that you’ve been through a lot.

Chance: So how are you? I know with the funeral and the wedding back-to-back, I’m sure you haven’t had a moment to just sit and process everything. I know when things get quieter, that’s when the hard part begins.

Sharon: That is when the hard part begins. Um…I’m not gonna deny that it’s — it’s been really tough. But I have a lot of people around me who love me and support me and I can lean on them.

Chance: I hope you know that includes abby and I. Anything you need, really.

Sharon: Thank you. And, you know, I meant to thank you for organizing the gcpd memorial for rey. That was — that was really nice to see how many people love him and admire him.

Chance: Well, he is sorely missed in the department, I’ll tell you. And everyone down there, we care about you, sharon. We understand this was very sudden, and, well, we just can’t help but worry.

Sharon: Well, please tell them not to worry about me. You know, rey’s spirit is with me all the time. I feel it guiding me, supporting me. But what about you? You lost your friend and your partner. How are you doing?

Chance: I’m okay. I’m okay. And just like you, I feel him with me, watching over me. Hopefully not judging my detective skills.

Sharon: [ Chuckles ] Of course not. He really admired you, and he would be thrilled to know how well you’re doing now at home and at work.

Chance: I hope so.

Sharon: Oh, yeah. You know, even though you’ve been through some really hard times, rey, he always believed that things would turn around for you. He was just an optimist at heart. And even though he’s witnessed a lot of wrong in the world, he just never gave up belief in love and basic decency of people.

Chance: Yeah, I know. I know, and I’m trying to do the same. I’m working on closing all of rey’s cases, by the way. A way to pay tribute. I’m actually headed back to the station now to follow up on some new evidence for one case. Forensics has the analysis, and I am determined to wrap it up.

Sharon: Well, that’s a really, really nice way to honor rey.

Devon: So since nate and billy will be here soon for the meeting, I’m gonna keep an ear out in case dominic wakes up.

Amanda: You gonna work from home?

Devon: I am gonna work from home. It’s the boss’ prerogative.

Amanda: Yeah, I guess so. You know, speaking of work, how has the dynamic been? Running things with your cousin, your sister, your sister’s boyfriend.

Devon: Well, you’ve seen how well we’re doing.

Amanda: Mm-hmm, I have, but you haven’t talked about how it makes you feel.

Devon: I feel it’s great.

Amanda: Yeah?

Devon: Yeah, it’s gonna take a little bit of getting used to, just ’cause, for so long, I was the only one making decisions for my company. Now it’s a whole committee where we all have to sign off on everything.

Amanda: It will be an adjustment.

Devon: Mm-hmm. I’m not complaining, though. It’s just gonna take a little time to settle in.

Amanda: Yeah. You know, I’m kind of going through the same thing.

Devon: You are?

Amanda: With imani.

Devon: Hmm.

Amanda: I mean, I love her, but it’s been a little tricky having my sister report to me, take direction from me, especially when I know that she would rather that we were on equal footing.

Devon: I can see how that could dicey for you guys.

Amanda: I do think that it’s partially because, when we started our own firm, we were supposed to be partners, you know?

Devon: Huh. Well, at least at the end of the day, we’re all family, and that should make things a little easier, right?

Amanda: Yeah, sure. If you say so.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Imani: Nate, fancy meeting you here.

Nate: Hey. Just grabbing an espresso before my meeting with devon and billy.

Imani: Oh, I have a feeling you’d be at the top of your game with or without that jolt of caffeine. But before you run off, there’s something I wanted to just share with you.

Nate: Okay, what’s that?

Imani: I was reviewing the legal aspects of your proposal, and I was really impressed by your suggestions. For someone just switching from the medical field to business, you really are breezing. And I mean that in the best way. I admire forward thinkers.

Nate: Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] That’s quite the compliment.

Imani: I hope devon begins to recognize the value you bring to the table. Between us, I think amanda and devon are a bit too conservative.

Nate: I’m just doing my best. There’s a lot I can learn from my cousin.

Imani: Mm-hmm.

Nate: Obviously he’s been doing this a lot longer than i have. Well, I’m sure you feel the same way about working with amanda, even when you don’t see eye-to-eye.

Imani: That’s true. However, sometimes what’s needed are fresh ideas. New energy. You and I seem to have that. Why not flaunt it, fight for what we want? What’s the worst that can happen?

[ Door opens ]

Nate: I think it’s a really good idea, but we just need to fine-tune some of the details.

Imani: Well, if the concept is sound, the details work themselves out.

Nate: That’s not the way i work.

Imani: Okay, so tell me, how do you like to get things done?

Nate: Well, I like to take a more analytical approach, break down all the steps, then come up with a plan.

Imani: Hmm. I’m more of a visual learner, so I think you should show me.

Nate: Hey, hey, wait. Where do you think you’re going?

Imani: I do my best thinking in the shower. Come on, you should try it.

Elena: Hello! I’m right here. Hi, I’m karen.

Diane: Hello, abby.

Abby: [ Sighs ] May I ask what you’re doing here? And by that, why did you choose my restaurant when there are so many others to choose from?

Diane: Because your restaurant is one of the best in town. Can’t we be adults about this?

Abby: Of course. Are you meeting someone?

Diane: No, I’ll be dining alone.

Abby: [ Laughs ] What a surprise.

Diane: Oh, I really don’t mind being a party of one these days, since I’ll have plenty of time for socializing later.

Abby: Okay, I’ll bite. Explain.

Diane: I’m planning on staying in genoa city for a while longer. Kyle wanted me to stick around so we could spend more time together and work on rebuilding our relationship.

Abby: I can’t say I’m surprised, given his reaction to your return. But sadly, I think he’ll come to regret that decision.

Diane: I assure you he won’T. I’ll make sure of it. But I can understand why you and everyone else in town will view everything I do through a negative lens.

Abby: Well, I’m glad you realize that.

Diane: Yeah, so let me get ahead of one story before I’m wrongly judged.

Abby: Ooh, do tell.

Diane: I’ve relocated to the athletic club indefinitely, with kyle’s financial support. He insisted. Best to be upfront about this because I’m sure, once everybody finds out about kyle’s generosity, they’ll assume that I had my hand out, which I did not.

Abby: You really do think everything is all about you, don’t you? That we all just walk around here, wasting our time and energy wondering what your next move is gonna be, your motivation. But, see, you’re wrong. We don’T. We just think you’re a terrible person. If we bother to think about you at all.

Imani: Elena, over here. Hey.

Elena: Imani, how’s it going?

Imani: Good. Why are you looking at me like that?

Elena: Nothing, I just didn’t expect to see you here, you know, in the middle of a work daY.

Imani: Oh, I — I just wanted a break from the officE. Please join me.

Elena: I was actually gonna get something to go, but you know what? Since you asked, maybe I will. One sec.

Devon: I wish lily didn’t have to go out of town to meet with jill since chancellor-winters launch is just a week away.

Billy: Yeah, I hear you, but I’ll fill her in on everything we talk about.

Devon: Good. Where do we stand?

Billy: Well, we’re in a good place. Logistics are all taken care of. Put out another press release in order to build on the publicity that we got. The next few days, we’ll push a little bit more, create even more buzz.

Devon: Good. That sounds great.

Billy: You should be prepared to do a couple interviews, of course, solo and with lily.

Devon: Oh, for sure, yeah, I’m ready to do anything.

Nate: Hope you both had a chance to review the material i e-mailed to you last night. My thoughts on some of the future ventures I thought you might want to announce at the event.

Billy: Yeah, I was able to look at it.

Devon: I did, too, and i think it’s just a bit much.

Nate: You think it’s best to pull back?

Devon: I do, yeah. It’s just ’cause I think what you’re suggesting is a little premature. I don’t think the best strategy for a launch is to reveal everything we’re doing before we even get out the gate, you know? (Dog barking) we love our pets.

Sharon: That’s such a nice gesture, taking over all of rey’s cases. Chance is carrying rey in his heart with him, just like I am.

Nick: The people we lose never really leave us. Um…can I ask you about something? A couple days ago, it was cassie’s anniversary. Normally, we get together and we take some flowers to the cemetery. And we just talk, you know? We — we remember all the amazing memories of our sweet little girl.

Sharon: But we didn’T.

Nick: No. I wanted to make sure I gave you space, you know? I tried to follow your cues, but I don’t think I can wait any longer, sharon. The fact that you haven’t brought it up yet, I’m worried that this is affecting you more than I expected.

Diane: You’re entitled to your feelings, and they’re certainly justified, given what I put you through in the past.

Abby: I appreciate you acknowledging that.

Diane: I am truly sorry.

Abby: I hope you don’t think this “too little, too late” apology is gonna earn brownie points with me, because my opinion of you is never gonna change.

Diane: I’m not expecting it to. Nor do I expect you to hide your hostility from me if we cross paths. But please, for kyle’s sake, could you just put his feelings ahead of your own? I am only here because that’s what he wants.

Abby: I have no intention of making this painful situation any more difficult for kyle, especially after all the hurt that you’ve put him through. So, yes, I will restrain myself in his presence.

Diane: Thank you for that.

Abby: But when it’s just the two of us, I will be as hostile as I want for as long as I want. So now that we understand each other, would you still like that table for one? Or would you like to turn around and walk right back out the door?

Nate: I thought we decided that the launch event would be the perfect venue to establish our goals for the future.

Devon: You’re absolutely right about that. It is, and that’s what we’re doing. I’m just talking about holding back and teasing what we have in the works.

Nate: I think bold and open is the way to go.

Devon: The last thing we want to do is give our competition the ability to get ahead of us, right?

Nate: But this is a huge merger, devon. People are gonna be curious about our plans.

Devon: That’s fantastic. Let them be curious. That’s the point.

Nate: Don’t you think we should take full advantage of this moment? We’re gonna have the attention from the business community and the press.

Billy: Yeah, no, I understand what you’re saying here, nate, I do, but devon’s right. I mean, what you’re suggesting, it’s just too much. It would lessen the impact of everything across the board. Best way to do this is we roll out one project at a time so everything gets enough attention. Of course, maybe there’s a happy medium?

Devon: What do you suggest?

Billy: Well, I think nate’s right, it would be beneficial to announce something. You know, maybe we can talk about the two projects that you and lily are most excited about, build some momentum from there, and tease that there’s more where that came from.

Devon: Right. Yeah, that — that sounds okay to me. Is that alright with you?

Nate: I’m on board. Sounds like the perfect compromise to me.

Devon: Okay, then. That’s what we’ll do. I will have a talk with lily and we’ll figure out what initiatives we want to lead with, and we’ll go from there.

Billy: Sounds good.

Devon: Yep.

Elena: So how are you liking your new job? Do you feel like you’re fitting in with chancellor-winters?

Imani: There’s a learning curve, of course, but there’s such a strong sense of unity and teamwork.

Elena: Oh, the beauty of working with family.

Imani: Exactly, everyone’s working toward one common goal. So much potential for the future. Can’t wait to see where it all leads.

Elena: Yeah, I can’t either. And I’m excited to be by nate’s side every step of the way.

Amanda: Hi, guys. Do you mind if I join you?

Imani: Not at all. This is getting to be a regular thing, the three of us all hanging out together.

Elena: Oh, I wouldn’t go that far.

Amanda: Well, you know, elena, I am really happy that i ran into you. We are so appreciative of how kind you were when we were concerned about our mother’s health condition. Thank you so much. You are such a gem. You totally eased our worries.

Imani: Yeah, that was so kind of you. Since nate has joined the corporate world, we’re lucky to still have a doctor in our extended family.

Elena: Well, I am happy to help anytime. Um…yeah, I hope you will both excuse me, but I’m gonna get going. Amanda, it was good to see you.

Amanda: Nice to see you, too.

Elena: Bye.

Amanda: Goodbye. Imani, I thought we talked about this. What the hell are you doing? Time. It’s life’s most precious commodity,

“The young and the restless”

will continue. (Kid) why aren’t there any buildings out there?

Imani: What are you talking about? I wasn’t doing anything.

Amanda: You still haven’t gotten the message, have you? Nate is off limits.

Imani: I’ve heard this all before. He’s committed to elena. They’re very happy. I get it.

Amanda: Do you?

Imani: I said I understand. What’s the problem?

Amanda: I think it’s pretty clear what the problem is, and you know it. Oh. Oh, my gosh.

Imani: What? What’s wrong?

Amanda: I forgot my flash drive at home.

[ Sighs ] It has all the documents that i need. You know what? I’m gonna go back home. I’ll meet you at the office. But please, please take to heart what I said about nate.

Imani: [ Sighs ]

Amanda: I do not want to be having this conversation again.

Imani: I don’t either.

[ Chuckles ] Okay, I swear I’m not trying to give you a migraine. I’m just having some fun. You need to relax. I promise you I have no agenda as far as it comes to nate.

Amanda: Okay.

Billy: You look distracted.

Abby: The nerve of that woman to show up at my restaurant even though she knows I loathe her, and I truly loathe her.

Billy: Yeah, no, that’s very clear.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Billy: You know, diane gets under the skin of most people.

Abby: I thought she’d be gone by now, but kyle has decided to give her another chance.

Billy: Really?

Abby: Yeah, he put her up at the gcac. He’s even footing the bill.

Billy: Oh, family’s gonna love that.

Abby: Mm.

Billy: Well, hopefully they can respect kyle’s choice. I mean, at the end of the day, that is his mother. It seems like we’re just gonna have to get used to having diane around.

Abby: Fat chance.

Billy: Maybe she’s changed, right? Maybe, just maybe, she’ll surprise us. It’s possible.

Abby: You know, billy, I get that you’re in the second-chance camp, you know, and you’re more than willing to give people the benefit of the doubt, and i understand why, but I really do think that you are giving her more credit than she deserves.

Billy: Yeah, maybe. Maybe not. But we’re gonna see. And if I’m wrong, then I’ll own it.

[ Telephone rings ]

Abby: Society. Hi, yes, you’d like to make a reservation? Let me see what we got for you.

Diane: Oh, great, more abbott attitude to go with my lunch.

Billy: No, lucky for you, i am fresh out of attitude. I do have one question, though.

Diane: I’m almost afraid to hear it.

Billy: Is this seat taken?

Sharon: When I woke up on the morning of the anniversary, cassie was the first thought on my mind. And every year on that day, memories come flooding back to me. Happy moments, sad moments, and my anger over the way that she died.

[ Sighs ] And something occurred to me. She has now been gone longer than she was with us. How did that happen?

Nick: Still feels like it was yesterday.

Sharon: And then I looked over to the other side of the bed where rey should be laying, and, um…you know, it was just too much. All the sadness and the loss and pain. I felt like I was gonna lose it. So I, uh…I tried to compartmentalize my grief so that I wouldn’t end up having to stay in bed all day, paralyzed, because that’s the last thing that I wanted to do, and it’s the last thing that cassie would want me to do. I forced myself to get out of bed and get moving. I know that I didn’t bring it up. I decided not to talk about the anniversary because if I did…

Nick: I completely understand.

Sharon: All I could do was just focus on getting through that day, that one day. And, um…the next morning, when I woke up, I felt like I had gotten through the deepest, darkest part of it, and I knew that I could — I could keep going. I could go on.

Nick: Well, that’s what i wanted to hear.

Sharon: I’m sorry to worry you.

Nick: No, please don’t apologize. I’m just glad to hear that you’re coming through this. Is there anything else I can do?

Sharon: Well, you know, now that I am starting to feel like I’m in a better state of mind, I’d like to go to cassie’s grave and I’d like to lay flowers there. Talk to our girl, the way that we always did. Will you go with me? Whatever gives you life

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Abby: Chance? What’s up? Why didn’t you come inside?

Chance: Well, because of this.

Diane: What a relief that you’re not treating me like i have the plague.

Billy: Well, I’ve been the town pariah more than once. I know the feeling.

Diane: There’s more than a few people in this town that could say the same thing. But, of course, they’re the first to ostracize and criticize because they seem to have forgotten that. When I came back, I knew what i was in for, but I decided to roll with it. It’s just nice to have a break from it every once in a while.

Billy: Well, let me be very clear — I have not forgotten what you did to kyle or to the rest of my family. But I’m interested in what you plan on doing now.

Diane: Isn’t it obvious?

Billy: Abby mentioned that you could be sticking around a little while, which is confusing to me because kyle and summer should be going back to milan soon.

Diane: Oh, they’re possibly moving back here.

Billy: Are you sure about that?

Diane: I have no idea how or when, but that’s what kyle told me. And I get the impression they’re going to make it happen. That’s why kyle asked me to stay, and as long as he wants me nearby, that’s where I’ll be.

Billy: Meaning you’d stay permanently.

Diane: Without a moment’s hesitation. Are you feeling a little less friendly towards me now?

Devon: Hey, dom.

How you doing, buddy?

That was a nice, long nap you

had, huh?

Yeah.

How about I keep you company

now?

Do you mind?

I don’t mind, ’cause I love you

so much, man.

That’s the thing about

families.

Even when they make you crazy,

love is always there.

You believe me, don’t you?

Yeah, I know you do.

‘Cause we’re a team.

[ Chuckles ]

Amanda: There’s my two

favorite guys.

Devon: Dominic, look who’s

home!

Amanda: Aww!

Devon: Did you miss her?

Amanda: Look at that face.

He really missed me.

He did.

Elena: So how did the meeting go?

Nate: It ended well, thanks to billy. But the tension between devon and me was pretty thick.

Elena: Did you guys disagree about something?

Nate: How much of our future plans we should reveal at the launch.

Elena: And was that something worth getting that worked up about?

Nate: Chancellor-winters needs to make the best first impression possible. It’s important.

Elena: I guess so, since you guys are disagreeing about it. But are things better now?

Nate: Yeah, yeah. I’d chalk it up to a one-time thing. But something similar did happen between us yesterday. Circumstances were different, but the vibe was the same.

Elena: So you really think there’s a problem developing between you and devon?

Nate: No, I wouldn’t go that far. It’s more like growing pains. At least I hope that’s all it is.

Elena: Yeah, I’m sure you’re probably right.

Nate: It’s got to be a difficult transition for devon. You know, one minute, you’re the boss of everybody and your opinion is the only one that matters, and then, all of a sudden, you have to share your decisions with not just lily but with billy and me, too.

Elena: I think you’re both just under a lot of pressure right now. And once things get settled, it’ll be fine.

Nate: You really think so?

Elena: I do. I mean, as well as you both know each other personally, you still have to find your footing on a professional level. And it’s not surprising to me that two brilliant, strong men would be clashing a bit.

Nate: Yeah, I guess you’re right.

Elena: You both were so excited to work together, and you both want chancellor-winters to succeed, so, I mean, that’s got to count for something.

Nate: That counts for a lot. But I didn’t come back expecting to talk about all this. I came back because I felt guilty about something, and i didn’t want to wait to make things right.

With less moderate-to-severe

eczema,

Elena: What’s — what’s going on? Did something happen?

Nate: Yeah, it kind of did, and I have no one to blame but myself.

Elena: [ Sighs ] Okay.

Nate: You know when we talked earlier about not having enough time to spend together?

Elena: Yes, and?

Nate: Well, I felt badly about my solution. A weekend date just doesn’t cut it. There’s not a lot we can do to carve out more time, especially since you don’t have the same flexibility with your schedule as I do with mine. So I realized that it’s up to me to work around your schedule. And being with you is at the top of my priority list.

Elena: Wow. I love you for thinking that way. And I love you for putting me at the top of your list. And I love you for coming here just to tell me that.

Nate: Mm. Well, that’s — that’s a whole lot of loving.

Elena: Yeah, it is. But I do think that our relationship deserves to be nurtured and tended to by the both of us. So even though I can’t always dictate my own schedule, there are other ways that I can show you how much I love you.

Billy: I have not changed my outlook, but I am thinking about other people, in particular jack, who’s going to have a different reaction to finding out that you could be a permanent resident of genoa city once again.

Diane: Jack has made his position perfectly clear. He’s not happy that I’m here, but he’s supportive of kyle’s wishes. Although he’s extremely skeptical of me.

Billy: Well, that’s my brother. He’s always protecting his son, as he should.

Diane: When we first met, jack wasn’t exactly what you’d call the reliable or paternal type. He’s come a long way since then. He’s become this really good man and a wonderful father. I admire that, and I’d like to try to live by his example, to be as good a mother as he is a father.

Billy: I understand the urge to compare yourself to someone else, but that is not gonna get you anywhere. You need to focus on being the best version of yourself you possibly can.

Diane: When did you become so wise?

Billy: Yeah, I am far from wise, but I’ve been through some things. And if I can help anyone, then that’s good with me.

Diane: Well, I hope your forgiving nature rubs off on your brother. Maybe you could put a good word in for me. No, no. I mean, unless you’re comfortable doing that.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] My family knows where I stand. I believe some people can change. I have to, or I wouldn’t be able to have faith in myself. And if redemption is possible for me, then it is possible for others. I’m not gonna change my tune, unless, of course, you give me a reason to.

Diane: Thanks. That’s all I can hope for.

Abby: Mmm. Well, not that I’m complaining, but what is this all about?

Chance: Mm. Caught a break in the case. Once the warrant comes through, we’ll make a move on this guy and lock him up. I tell you, I did everything by the book on this one. I’ll be glad to put it to rest.

Abby: One of rey’s cases?

Chance: I’m gonna close every single one he was working on. I know that’s what he would’ve done, so I’m gonna do the same.

Abby: I’m so proud of you. And I know rey is, too.

Nick: [ Sighs ] I am glad we did that.

Sharon: Me too. Time alone with cassie was just what I needed. I feel better. I feel ready to get back to work now.

Nick: Are you sure? You don’t want to take some more time off?

Sharon: No, I feel at peace. And a lot of that is thanks to you, nick. Once again, you’ve found a way to help me get through a rough patch.

Nick: Well, you do the same for me. That’s what family’s all about.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 [ Indistinct conversations ] Wow. Quite the scene. Very… tacky.Fancy. Oh. Thank you. Sure. Cheers. Because he used all of his cash.

[ Chuckles ] Uh… cash meaning… u-um, let me give you my card. Oh, uh — hey, spinelli. Oh. Dr. Gatlin-holt. Hmm. I thought you said this was a charity benefit. It is. Looks more like a meat market. Well, the — the invitation I n clearly stated that this afternoon’s events were, first and foremost, a fundraiser. Huh. How do you account for everyone having great hair and sparkling white teeth? Merely the icing on the cake. Um, is — is maxie accompanying you, or… perhaps is she attending solo? Maxie and I were supposed to come together, but she got stuck at work. Thanks for inviting me to this. Hey!

[ Chuckles ] How’d you hear about it? How did you not? Whoever does the pr for society setups stopped only at skywriting. Yeah, you’re not kidding. Everyone who’s anyone is here. Should make for an interesting party. Scott grossly distorted your history. No one is gonna believe a word that he said. Least of all wiley. No, I-I can explain away fiction, but… today made me realize that one day, wiley’s gonna have to face the bad parts of my past, and nelle’s and — and even harmony’S. And I’m just — I’m just thinking, like… will wiley ever forgive any of us? Do you ever miss?

[ Chuckles ] Hi.

[ Chuckles ] Hi. Well, you know what they say. Practice the way you play. What are you practicing for? Not what, laura. Who. Looks like we’re both having a bad day. I, uh, didn’t hear you come in. Is spencer with you? He was. But then he left me. Again.

[ Sighs ] Guess we’re both on our own. You want me to move to chicago? Of course not. But this isn’t about what I want. What if it is? If you’re as interested as I am in seeing where this goes, I should stick around, right? The judge just ordered a recess, aunt liesl. Yeah. You won’t believe — I think I can meet you, though, for a quick cup of coffee.

[ Chuckles ] You’re not going anywhere. Listen, aunt liesl, something came up, so I’m not gonna be able to meet you after all. I’ll call you after the hearing. Let go of me, little girl. Nina, I will if you will. What do you want? I want you to give up the pretense that you’re a loving grandmother who only wants what’s best for wiley. That is all I want. Then why did you let scott attack wiley’s father on the stand?


excuse me for a second. Okay. Another new outfit, spinelli? Or are you just here to impress the ladies? I only aim to impress you, fair samantha. Beverage? Sure. Look, I could only say this to another quartermaine. Drew: Uh-oh. It actually feels really good… so, uh, what’s going on with you and brook lynn these days? You on? Off? It’s unclear. Oh. Even to me. Mm. Are you available to help out a former partner? I may need an emissary. At your service. I happen to speak fluent blqlq you should go mix. Mingle. Have fun. You trying to get rid of me? I’m trying to get you to seize the opportunity to find some good investors for aurora. Careful. You’re gonna live down the cliché that quartermaines eat, sleep, and drink business. Well, what can I say? I learned at my father’s knee.

[ Both laugh ] Hey, has ned spoken to you about the offer that michael and I made him? Actually, our — our paths have not crossed since the last time my dad turned down your C.O.O. Offer. Hmm. Look, if you and michael want my dad involved, this aurora-elq merger has to happen. So you better flash your smile. Actually, there is a woman at the bar, and she keeps glancing your way. She’s carrying the newest cartullo bag. Ah. I’m sure she’ll be good for a few hundred shares. Yeah. That’s not how it works. Michael, someday, wiley is gonna discover that his parents are flawed, just like you did with sonny. No, I never want wiley to see me the same way that I see sonny. I hate that sonny brought you to this point, but it’s not gonna be the same with wiley. I’m not the one who wanted to take this to court. You and michael forced my hand. Nobody forced your lawyer to say that michael is violent toward women and a baby thief. Scott just presented the facts. So it’s the fact that nelle was protecting wiley when she put a dead baby, my dead baby, in michael’s arms, and told him his son was dead? What’s the point of a pool party if nobody’s swimming? Uh, taking a wild guess here, but maybe no one wants to ruin their hair and makeup?

[ Scoffs ] Hey, I’m gonna need your help tonight. Ready and able for wing man duty. No, I-I meant keeping my glass filled. I can only survive this party in a state of cheerful oblivion.

[ Chuckles ] Uh, you’ll want to stay sober for him. Britt, brad, hey, guys. Hi. You here for the fundraiser, for the singles mixer, or both? Uh… both. Um, the company behind this is the matchmaking service my mother signed me up for. I thought the name sounded familiar. So I guess you’re feeling a little bit more optimistic. I’m optimistic about free cocktails.

[ Laughs ] Um, as for the rest, jury’s still out on. Aw. That sounds serious. What’s going on, ava? I’m just blowing off steam. Okay, but who’s got you so steamed up that you’re here at the firing range? Is it esme? Spencer? Nikolas? Do I have to choose just one? Do you have a favorite? Your son. So things aren’t any better between the two of you?

[ Gunshots in distance ] Nikolas knows that we need time alone, just the two of us, to work on our marriage. But he resents my efforts to make that happen. Do you think maybe it has something to do with your house guests? Mm, oh, I would love to blame everything on spencer and esme, but, really, they’re just a symptom. And what’s the disease? Hope I didn’t cause trouble earlier when I told you that ava had asked me and spence to move out of wyndemere in exchange for her giving him control of his trust fund. An allowance from his trust fund. I take it you and ava talked? You could say that. You argued. And I’m to blame. Can you forgive me? I thought you already knew about the arrangement and had approved. Spencer and my failure to communicate is not your fault, esme. And neither is the fact that he didn’t tell me himself. Well, don’t take it too personally. Spence only seems to communicate with trina these days. I assumed spencer and trina didn’t have much of a friendship anymore. Oh, they keep running into each other. It’s like port charles has a population of two. Sorry my son isn’t more considerate. But word of advice? Pick your battles. There’s no battle. The fighting is over. And…so is my relationship with your son.


Excuse me. Austin. Is maxie here? Uh, she’s stuck at work. She’ll be here soon. Just wanted to thank her for inviting me to bailey’s 1st birthday party. Right. Yeah. So you and brook lynn will be attending together? I can’t speak for brook lynn, but I’ll be there. Right. Can’t speak for brook lynn. So you two haven’t gotten off that roller coaster yet. Perfect timing. I’m so glad you’re here! Oh, really? Why? Well, because you’re my friend and my step-sibling. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah, I guess we are. It’s good to see you, too. Yeah, and, um, I need a favor. Damn it, I knew it. I knew it. How many people have you asked already? I’m still adjusting to the new look. It’s not a crime to overhaul my — my threads. I mean, and besides, sartorial splendor is underrated in these modern times. Yeah, but not underpriced. Wait, does this mean you’re ready to move on from ellie? Well, I mean, if I was contemplating a new romance, I could do worse than sign up for society setups and their proven track record. You know, you and nikolas both come into this marriage with your fair share of baggage. Just wondering if maybe the root of the issue is not really in the here and now but more in the past? The truth is, I fought my feelings for nikolas tooth and nail because I knew that I couldn’t trust him. But I thought you worked through that. Yeah, I thought so, too. Now I wonder, did we fall in love because we — we solved our trust issues or despite them? You and spencer broke up? In every way that matters. Spence made his choice, and it’s not me. He’s young. You both are. However bad things seem now… are you sure you can’t ride out this particular rough patch? Mm. It depends. How do you know when it’s time to give up? Wish I knew. I like you, chet. A lot. And I’ve enjoyed getting to kalso a lot.

I aut to get one of t don’t turn down this amazing job opportunity for me. What if we don’t work out, and you regret not taking the job and moving to chicago? What if I regret missing out on my chance with you? If a train doesn’t stop in your station, it’s not your train. I have no idea what that means.

[ Chuckles ] What’s meant to be won’t pass us by. But right now, this job opportunity is waiting. I just hate ending us before we’ve really begun. Today was hard. We knew it would be. But you were amazing on that stand, and there’s no way the judge is gonna grant nina’s petition. I mean, I wish I shared your optimism. You wondering when the judge is gonna finish tearing into scott? That, and I was just wondering if I have enough time to run a quick errand. Willow: Nelle made me believe my son was alive. She used my little boy, my newborn son, as a prop in her sick manipulation. You have to understand, nelle was abused by her father. No, you stop! You stop trying to rehabilitate nelle. She was irredeemable. No, she was a product of her upbringing, willow. If she hadn’t been stolen from me, then — what? You could have made all the difference in nelle’s life? Steered her off the path she was on? How would that work, nina? You were in a coma until nelle was in her 20s. Exactly. I didn’t have a chance to help her. No. You may not have raised nelle, but it’s obvious she inherited your nature. So you’re implying that people are born bad? Look at your mother. Now look at yourself and then nelle. I’m saying the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.


Well, if we can’t escape our dna, you must be terrified, willow. Too bad — hello, michael. Too bad harmony’s not here to tell you who or what your real mother was. Hey. Not worth it, not worth it. Haven’t you done enough damage, nina? Oh, shut up! No, I will not. Nina doesn’t care what damage she does. She’s ripped this family apart. She’s not done yet. Distorting michael’s past and weaponizing it against him, when all michael’s done is love and protect his son in a way nelle never did. I never told anyone that you and michael weren’t great parents. No, right, you had your lawyer do it for you. You are so disingenuous, nina. You pretend to care when the reality is you never treated me well, starting from when I was charlotte’s teacher. I thought we were past that. No, i got past that. Despite your attacks on me, I gave you multiple chances when I learned that you were nelle’s mother. And how did you thank me? By exploiting my generosity and trying to manipulate me. You are not worthy of wiley. That’s not your decision to make. Well, whatever the judge rules, wiley is my son. And his childhood will be different from mine. I wasn’t protected, but wiley will be. I would never hurt that little boy. So you keep saying. But you already have. And I will lay down my life before I ever let it happen again. I commend you for your bravery. It’s hard putting yourself out there.

[ Scoffs ] Yeah, as my mother puts it, time is not on my side. Why would she say that? Oh. You know, any way to find fault.

[ Chuckles ] You know, now that my mom is paired off, she sees my singledom as a failing. Hmm. Hmm. Refills, anyone? I’m on it. Yes. I’ll take one. So, drew, how about you? On the prowl or here for a good cause? I’m not much of a prowler. Never have been. Brook lynn wanted to check out the party. Besides, it’s always great to support a good cause. Yeah, brook lynn and i have our off days, but this is one of them. I don’t know. Maybe we’re a lost cause. Is that why you’re at a singles’ event? Alright, brook lynn, what’s the favor? I have a linc issue. Why didn’t you talk to chase about it? Wait, did you ask him to do something illegal or unethical? Alright, you know what? I don’t want to know, I don’t think. Look, I thought he would be supportive. He has been supportive. Isn’t that how he got suspended from the force in the first place? He helped you out in a big way. Why don’t you cut the kid some slack? Wait, since when have you been a fan of matchmaking? Um, well, p-professional help can be more reliable than certainly my judgment. Uh, remember, I-I chose ellie, and in the end, our lives diverged because we wanted different things at different times. But perhaps… with proper vetting, I could be matched with someone whose life fits more in with mine. Yeah, but now you have a new look, which is different from your old look, which is different from the look that I’m used to you having. Uh, what’s going on, spinelli? You know what? Maybe the why doesn’t even matter. The fact is, our marriage isn’t working. Nikolas can be unfailingly generous when he wants to be, when the — the gift is something that he wants to give. But if it’s something that matters to me? He’s oblivious. You know, this may not be the right time for me to bring this up, but I-I just wanted you to know that I sent in my letter of recommendation to the adams day school. You — you wrote a letter for avery? Yeah, I did, because, well, I know the headmistress. And I also put in a call to the head of admissions. Looking forward to meeting with her to talk to her about avery. Laura, I-I don’t know how to thank you. No, no, don’t thank me. Thank nikolas, because he was the one who told me that you wanted to get avery in there. And he suggested that you write the letter? He did. And I was very happy to do it. I think it’s a great idea. I think it’s a terrific school, and avery is a terrific kid. You know, I-I mentioned the application to nikolas, and I didn’t think he was paying any attention. Mm. Well, it’s nice that he was able to pleasantly surprise you for once. Is this where you tell me not to give up too soon? Esme: Are you considering giving up on your marriage? That’s private. I only ask because… I could use advice. I mean, I’m not very experienced. Spence is my first real relationship. All I know is that we don’t bring out the best in each other anymore. We don’t put one another first the way we used to. Yeah, nobody wants to feel like a consolation prize. I deserve better. And so do you. Your wife should put you first. Or…set you free to find someone who will.


So, how much do you just hate unwanted advice? On a scale of 1 to 10? Here it is anyway. Aren’t you and brook lynn just tired of this dance? This is just how chase and I roll. One day, we’re besties, and the next, we’re not speaking. But it always blows over. Okay, yeah, sure. You know, until one day, it doesn’T. Look at you, mr. Pessimist. Look, chase is a patient guy. But everyone has their breaking point, right? There will be a day where you push him too far and he doesn’t come running when you call him. Ava… do you still love nikolas? Love isn’t always enough. Well, that’s true. But where there’s love, there’s hope.

[ Gunshots in distance ] And you know something? You have been so generous with nikolas, encouraging him to reconcile with his son. But the thing is, he’s not that good at finding the balance. He isn’t, so, you know, do you think you could be just a little more patient? And give him — give him just the time he needs to work on the two most important relationships in his life. I would give nikolas all the time in the world if he was actually working on our marriage. But he’s not. And he doesn’t even acknowledge that I deserve better. He’s not asking me to be patient. He’s asking me to keep my head down and shut up and face east.

[ Sighs ] I’d rather not discuss my marriage. Oh, of — of course. I was only trying to be a good friend to you like you’ve been to me. Can you forgive me? How can I help you? Do you need one of the maids to help you pack? Thanks, but, uh, I’ve already finished packing. Not that I know where I’m going. You’re cold.

[ Clears throat ] Old houses get drafty. Wyndemere isn’t old and drafty. It’s stately and formidable. Like the cassadines themselves. I was proud to be associated with this family, even for a little while. You know, it’s possible that, with time and — and distance, that you and spencer will find your way back to one another. Even if we could get past the mistrust, the neglect, the dishonesty, something else has changed between us, and it’s a deal breaker. What’s that? Our attraction. Spence doesn’t want to make love to me anymore. Esme — and that hurts. But I don’t have to tell you that. Spence and I aren’t the only ones in this house sleeping apart. Let’s talk about these new beginnings. Director of mental health outreach. Sounds like you’re gonna have your hands full. Well, the facility has some innovative programs that do a lot of good. And you’re already thinking of ways to make them even better. To be honest, I haven’t been this excited in a long time. Present company excluded. Hey, you’re entitled to feel excited about this opportunity. Isn’t there any way I can take this job and still see you? What are your feelings on long-distance relationships? I’m not opposed, but this job is gonna require all your energy and attention. You won’t even have time to date all those midwestern women who will be flinging themselves at you. And if this job isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, and those midwestern women can’t compare to you? Then there are planes from chicago to port charles every day. But the way I got the job — your sister may have applied for the job in your name, but you got it based on your experience and credentials. All you have to decide is if you want it. And I think we both know the answer to that. I respect that you’re looking out for wiley. But don’t you understand? I’m doing the same thing. Then drop the petition. Accept that your forced presence in wiley’s life is self-serving, not to mention a constant reminder of a mother he will thankfully never know. You really want what’s best for wiley? Then give him a different lineage, a new legacy. I can’t do that.

[ Scoffs ] It’s ironic that you wear those heart pendants when you are heartless.

[ Willow sighs ] Hey. Are you okay? It’s okay, mom. I-I got this. Alright. You have a errand to run, right? I do. I do, and I wouldn’t leave if it wasn’t very important. I will be back. You stay strong. I am so sorry I lost my cool. Hey, no, hey, hey. I couldn’t be more proud of you. And wiley couldn’t ask for a more protective mother. Well, that could’ve gone worse. What, really? Judge skinned me alive. She’s gonna put my hide on her wall like a trophy. I’m so sorry. You’re not the only one who got flayed, though. Willow went after me like a mama bear. You’re not changing your mind, are you?

[ Door opens ] Bailiff: All rise. Be seated. Ms. Miller? Thank you, your honor. I would like to call willow tait to the stand.


ooh. Hi. Thank you.

[ Indistinct conversations ] The more I look around, the more I wonder, what am I doing here? Come on. You’re supporting a great cause. If that was the reason, I would have stayed home and written a check. Okay, so you’re stepping out of your comfort zone a little bit. Right? You’re giving society setups another try. Really, though, why bother? Everyone knows I’m hopeless at dating. Who’s everyone? Maxie. My mother. Spencer. Spencer? What does spencer cassadine have to do with this event?

[ Sighs ] The point is, this is a colossal waste of time. Hey. Thank you. You never answered my question. What’s going on? Samantha, I-I truly respect your sleuthing instincts. But isn’t your docket full? I mean, I know you’re looking into victor — s-spinelli, no. I always have room for you. So whatever you’re hiding, spill.

[ Sighs ] Ms. Tait, would you please state your relationship to wiley corinthos? I am wiley’s mother. And would you tell the court why you believe the petitioner’s request for visitation should be denied? Ms. Reeves does not have my son’s best interests at heart. Are you saying that ms. Reeves doesn’t love wiley? I believe that she does — on her terms, as she defines love. What worries me is that nina — ms. Reeves — feels she has a right to wiley. But I don’t believe sharing dna automatically entitles you to a familial relationship. Could you be a bit more specific? Nina kept wiley from his grandfather for months. She played an active role in breaking up the marriage of wiley’s grandparents. Today, at this hearing, she directed her attorney to attack the character of wiley’s father by grossly distorting a tragedy. And she did all of this without thinking of the cost to my son. As a mother, there is nothing I won’t do to protect my child, and that includes putting his best interests ahead of my own. And everyone worthy of being in his life should feel the same. I love my son, but I know who he is, and I know that he puts pride ahead of all other emotions. We’re both proud. Not very conducive to compromise. Ooh. That makes marriage tough, but not impossible.

[ Laughs ] You have any words of advice? Well, you know, the myth that marriage is 50/50 and that responsibilities are shared equally? Mm, I wish. Yeah, I think it’s more of a give-and-take thing. You know, one — one partner falters and the other one steps up, and — and vice versa. You know, I think that kevin and i have a really good relationship, but it’s not without its troubles. Really? Oh, yeah, for sure. I mean, we both have really, really tough jobs that — that take up a lot of our time. So we often feel like we don’t have enough time for each other. So we have to work on shutting the world out and, you know, making time to focus on each other. That’s exactly what I want. But nikolas won’t reciprocate. And so what am I supposed to do, just hold on indefinitely while I feel like I’m selling myself short?

[ Gunshots in distance ] Only you can decide that, ava. But I’ll tell you — I’ll ask you the same question that I’m going to ask my son. Would you rather be right, or would you rather be happy? Never forget that you, nikolas cassadine, are a powerful, attractive man in his prime. I admire the way you care for your family, and… while you’re trying to make ava and spence happy, you’re losing yourself. What is it you want? What is it you need? Respect. Peace. Faith. Ava should give you all of that. And more. The woman lucky enough to be in your life shouldn’t hesitate to strip herself down to the studs and give you everything she has. Everything you need. I would.


So, will it be difficult to decipher the dna results? No. Sometimes there are mutations in the markers, but the report should draw a clear conclusion based on probability. Okay. Thank you. Please confine your answers to your counsel or myself. Mr. Baldwin, cross? What? Enough.

[ Sighs ] No further questions, your honor. Have you both presented your arguments? Yes, your honor. Yes, your honor. I’ll be ready to issue my ruling within the hour. All rise. About my sister — amy only wants what’s best for you. And so do I. I’ll call the recruiter. Congratulations. If you don’t have a date next valentine’s day — you’ll be my first call. There’s nothing to spill. Just enjoy the festivities. Hold up. Nice try, spinelli, but you’re not getting off that easy. What’s going on? How annoyed are you with me, on a scale of one to really ticked off? Funny. I was about to ask you the same thing. Okay, this is pointless. I’m going to my room and going to bed.

[ Grunts ] Since when are you a quitter? You survived your demented half-brother, cassadine island, but you can’t handle an extra hour of mingling?

[ Scoffs ] That’s something my mother would say. Well, liesl’s a sharp lady. When she signed you up for this, maybe she was onto something. Society setups has got a great track record. There’s a lot of people here. Not all of them are gonna interest you, but someone might. You pack it in now, you go home, you may never know what you missed. Half an hour, not a minute more. Ava, I just have to say that… I’ve noticed that since my son’s been with you, he has grown enormously as a father, as a husband, and as a man. And as his mother, all I want is for him to be happy and to live his best life. And I guess I just always felt like he could have that with you. That’s what I wanted. I w– I wanted to live my best life with him. That doesn’t have to change, then. It doesn’T. You know, if you and nikolas want to reclaim your happiness, you can. I think it’s worth fighting for. I, uh, should be going. I told you before, you’re welcome in my home. Spence wants his trust fund back. You said it was over with spencer. What do you want? To belong. Then stay. I wish you meant that, but I know you’re just being kind. Nobody is choosing me. That’s not true. Isn’t it? Even my own boyfriend doesn’t want me. I want you. Here. Now. Prove it.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sarah: When I said that we could go somewhere to talk, I didn’t think… see, this is weird. Why am I in a cemetery?

Xander: Well, because… look, after everything we’ve… after everything you’ve been through, and what I did to… all I did hurt you, it seems to me that here is the place we need to be.

[Dramatic music]

Sarah: Mickey. You brought me to see mickey.

Xander: Sarah… what we had, the love we shared, it… it all started with a lie.

Sarah: Xander–

Xander: No, hold on. I need to get all this out. I need to do it right this time. I was so stupid and selfish. I convinced myself that what I had done was… was what was good for me– what was best for me. I mean, I wasted so much time keeping up that lie, sarah. And then when we finally got you back, and you didn’t remember having lost your little girl, I did it again. Tried to keep you from the painful truth about her. I’m not gonna do that anymore. Never again, sarah. When I switched your baby with brady and kristen’s, I…

Sarah: [Sniffling]

Xander: I know. I stole your ability to mourn the loss of your child. And so I was hoping that maybe, now, being here and you– I’m conditioning you. Well, you might finally have the chance to… to grieve for her properly.

Sonny: I can’t believe– damn it! Do you know– I should have known this was coming. After the hatchet job he did on chad, I should’ve seen it coming.

Will: Well, at least we know why leo drugged you.

Leo: So little sonny boy now knows that I’ve still got it, and it was oh-so-fun reminding him. But then I thought to myself, “leo, you are handsome, talented, sexy, funny, young-ish.” Did I mention “handsome?” So I think to myself, “why should you enjoy the spoils of revenge all by your lonesome?” So what do you say? You and me, a little collab, destroying the life of another of my sworn nemeses?

Gwen: Matty, there is only one person that I have to settle a score with, and that is my dear baby sister, abigail.

Kayla: Well, I am happy to report that you are in perfect health.

Abigail: Oh, thanks. Well, I mean, I feel great. But it’s always a relief to hear.

Kayla: Yup. All right, let me just write your script to renew your birth control pills, and you can be on your way.

Abigail: Actually, I’m not sure I want that.

Kayla: Are you and chad thinking about having another baby?

Abigail: Well, I am.

Chad: Whoa. Oh, no. Okay, sorry. Didn’t mean to interrupt.

Belle: Oh, no, no. Chad, you’re not interrupting. Ej and I were just– we’re just talking.

Chad: Okay, great. Just–I’ma let you guys talk.

Belle: Wait, chad, no, I– will you let me explain?

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

[Soft orchestration]

Abigail: I haven’t said anything about it to chad yet. But we have always planned on having a really big family, and recently, I’ve just had that feeling–you know, the pull, you know, so…

Kayla: I know exactly the feeling, yes. Of course, I do.

Abigail: I’m sure you do, and so anyway, there was a point in our marriage– or several points, actually– when I didn’t feel that way, because chad and I, we just weren’t in a good place.

Kayla: But you’re in a good place now, I assume?

Abigail: We’re stronger than we have ever been, and…

[Sighs] I feel guilty to say this, but I’m just really grateful that my sister is in prison. You know? And I think that has A… little bit to do with why I’m feeling the pull again– because I know gwen is locked up. I know she can’t hurt us anymore.

Sonny: I feel so violated. I never wanna see those pictures ever again.

Will: Really? I was hoping we would have a couple of them framed.

Sonny: That’s not funny, will. Especially since all of salem is looking at them right now.

Will: Yeah, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t joke.

Sonny: No, no. You shouldn’t have.

Will: I’m sorry.

Sonny: It’s just, I can’t believe this is all still happening. The fact that leo put some sort of sedatives in my cookies and then drugged me, and then undressed me and climbed into bed with me, and now everyone thinks we had sex?

Will: [Scoffs] Are you sure that you didn’t?

Limu emu

Belle: Chad, there is just so much going on–

Chad: Belle, listen. You don’t have to. You don’t have to explain. Um, look, I know how upset you must be with shawn, and given that I’ve been in his shoes, I have to say that I do empathize with him a little bit. So I’m just gonna say this then. After everything that happened between gwen and me, abby and I, you know, we’ve found our way back to each other, and I–look, it’s none of my business, but I do think that– I do think that maybe you and shawn have a chance to do the same.

Ej: Chad, for the record, there is nothing going on between belle and me. I just kissed her. That’s all. She was feeling vulnerable, and… it was wrong of me to take advantage of that. I admit, I overstepped, and for that, I owe you an apology, belle.

Chad: Listen, no, you’re both consenting adults. You don’t have– neither of you have to explain anything to me. Okay? Just–I’ll leave you guys to it.

Belle: [Sighs] Thank you for taking responsibility for what chad just walked in on.

Ej: I take full responsibility, and I hope you accept my apology.

Belle: No, that–I meant I appreciate what you said to chad, but I mean, it’s not entirely true. Yes, you kissed me. But I kissed you back.

Ej: [Chuckles] Belle, what happened between us– it didn’t really mean anything.

Belle: You sure about that?

Sonny: I mean, I don’t remember anything after the cookies, but I mean, even the thought of the possibility that… leo and I– I can’t even say it.

Will: No, I–I’m sorry. I shouldn’t make you say that. I’m sorry for even suspecting that it was possible because you’d have no way of knowing, and–you know what? No. On second thought, it didn’t happen. It definitely didn’t happen.

Sonny: You don’t think so? You don’t think he’d go that far?

Will: No way. No. Well, first of all, leo’s made it clear that he doesn’t wanna sleep with you again, right? So he just wanted to humiliate you and trash your reputation. This is revenge for breaking up him and craig in black and white.

Sonny: So what do I do now?

Will: Well, leo might think this is all a game, and even though we are very confident that he didn’t take full advantage of you, he drugged you, he took off your clothes, and he took pictures of you without your consent. Those are criminal offenses. So what we do is we go to the police and we have his sorry ass arrested.

Sonny: Okay.

Leo: Come on, gwennie. I know you all too well, and I know that from the second those cuffs clicked onto your wrists, you’ve been thinking nonstop about how to smack that smug, little smile off of abigail’s face. She’s probably still smiling now, thinking about how she sabotaged your wedding–

Gwen: Oh, god, please. Will you just stop just twisting the knife?

[Sighs, sniffs] And don’t say his name. It just hurts me too much– especially being stuck in here with all these bloody maniacs. And the worst part is being…

[Sighs] Stuck in here, amongst the worst of them all… while the only man that I ever loved, the man I was supposed to marry, and… as stupid as it sounds, the man that I was supposed to live happily ever after with… is out there. He’s out there in the arms of his beloved sarah.

Sarah: [Sniffling] Mickey… my little angel. How could I ever forget you? Oh, god.

[Sniffling]

[Soft dramatic music]

Are you one of the millions of americans

[Soft dramatic music]

Sarah: [Sniffling] These must be from mom.

Xander: Every thursday without fail. Maggie always brings daffodils.

Sarah: And the roses? Those are–those are fresh.

Xander: Well, after you forgave me, we came here every day together– brought mickey fresh roses.

Sarah: After I was gone? Every day?

Xander: I loved her too, sarah. She was mine–at least, to me, she was. I helped you bring her into this world. I was the first person to hold her, to… to look in her eyes, and now that she’S… I just wanted little mackenzie, your little girl to… to know that I still love her– that we always will.

Sarah: [Crying]

Xander: That she hadn’t been forgotten.

Sarah: [Sniffles] Thank you.

[Exhales] Thank you for bringing my daughter roses… and for remembering her. I’m sure that wherever mickey is, she’S… she’s forgiven you. I’m sorry. I just still don’t think I ever will be able to.

[Somber music]

Leo: Come here. Believe me. I know what a catch your hunky scotsman was. I can see you now, standing above a subway grate, trying to hold that kilt down over those muscular thighs. What were we talking about?

Gwen: You are unbelievable. I can’t believe you. I’m standing here with my heart torn out, beating its last beat, and you’re fantasizing about my lost love.

Leo: Oh, gwennie, come on! Where is your sense of humor? I’m hurting too, remember? I lost craig.

Gwen: [Sighs]

Leo: But it’s like I’ve always said, “it is better to have loved and lost a–”

Gwen: Okay, all right. Just…stop. Stop.

Leo: There she is. Okay, now that you’re back, let’s get to it. I can’t wait to hear what naughty ideas you have, and I promise to be somewhat respectful of your torn-out heart’s final beats. But more importantly, I promise to help you execute your sweet, sweet revenge.

Gwen: Okay then, how about this? An oldie, but a goodie. We drug abigail and we whisk her off somewhere private, and we take compromising photos–

Leo: My love, my love, my love. [Laughs] I’m just gonna stop you to tell you that I truly do love and adore you, mostly because egotistical as this may sound, you remind me of myself.

Gwen: Back at you, matty.

Leo: I know we have lost our loves. We will always have each other– not to mention, drugging, abduction, and illicit photography.

Chad: I definitely wanna hear about your checkup, but I just walked in on something back home, and I gotta tell you all about it.

Abigail: Oh, idle gossip. My fave. What happened?

Chad: My brother, ej, kissed belle brady, is what happened.

Belle: Look, as chad said, we’re both adults, right? We’re both highly-educated and articulate, and we should be able to talk about this kind of stuff.

Ej: Okay. Would you like to take the lead then?

Belle: [Laughs] Okay, well, um… there’s no denying that the attraction, the sexual tension has been growing between us for a while. Am I wrong?

Ej: No, no. No, you’re not. In fact, that’s quite accurate. So I guess the question is… what do you think we should do about it? My asthma felt anything but normal.

Chad: Yo, ej and belle both downplayed the kiss, and belle definitely seemed flustered.

Abigail: Well, she’s been through a lot lately. She’s feeling pretty vulnerable, I imagine.

Chad: Obviously. But ej took full responsibility. He said he took advantage of the situation.

Abigail: Well, I guess they have been spending a lot of time together lately. Right? And–which makes sense, because she just represented ej when he was accused of kidnapping sami, and we both know that ej’s always been really opportunistic– never really had your scruples, and in fairness to him, he’s just probably hurt too. You know, he feels betrayed himself by sami. So, what, do you think that he’s trying to get belle into bed to soothe his bruised ego?

Chad: What I’m thinking– and this is just my gut feeling, having just walked in on them– I think that ej doesn’t wanna just get belle into bed. I think that ej might be actually really falling for her.

Belle: Um, well, I think that… maybe we should, um… I–you know, I just, uh…

Ej: [Laughs] So much for the two of us being articulate on this issue.

[Both laugh]

Belle: Okay, ej, listen. You know that I’ve been unfaithful to shawn in the past, and I’ve come a long way since then. And yes, shawn hurt me, and he continues to with the way he’s letting jan come between us, but I don’t wanna retaliate, and I just know I can’t live with the guilt of an affair.

Ej: You sound like a woman who is determined to save her marriage.

Belle: I’m just not ready to give up on what shawn and I have– or had. Not yet.

Ej: I care about you, belle. But just like you, my heart still belongs to someone else– someone who hurt me. As much as objectively I know that my marriage is over, samantha is… she’s still my samantha. And you and I, we shared one innocent kiss.

Belle: [Sighs]

Ej: Belle, I’m– I’m sorry about before– my taking advantage of the situation. I promise I will never do it again.

Gwen: So then you didn’t actually touch sonny kiriakis– not in that way?

Leo: Right. I did not debase myself, you’ll be relieved to hear.

Gwen: So relieved.

Leo: [Chuckles] But thanks to my preternatural cleverness and my excellent photographic skills, all of salem believes that sonny debased himself, and we get to watch the kiriakis castle crumble.

Shawn: Sonny, if you were drugged last night, you still have traces of that drug in your system.

Sonny: Well, I mean, I already scheduled an appointment to get a blood test.

Shawn: Good, good, good. Go down there and get it done. Bring me back the results. If we can prove that leo drugged you, I’ll arrest him, and I’ll happily throw away the key.

Sonny: Okay.

Xander: I get it. What I did was– it was unforgivable. I just thought maybe, you know, coming here and, well… thank you, sarah, for coming here with me. I’ll let you have a moment.

Sarah: [Smooches]

I haven’t been able to bring myself to come here.

Xander: I understand.

Sarah: You did this?

Xander: I hope you don’t mind.

Sarah: Xander.

Time. It’s life’s most precious commodity,

Belle: Well, thank you for letting me keep my stuff here– my boxed-up life.

Ej: Well, your boxed life can stay for as long as you need. Oh. It’s for you.

Belle: For me? Oh, it’s from jan. She said I forgot some of my things.

[Soft dramatic music]

Chad: I swear to you, abby, ej was– he was gentle and respectful.

[Laughs] I know it sounds crazy, but I’m worried that ej might be the one that gets hurt here. We both know how much belle loves shawn.

Abigail: Yeah. Yeah, but I don’t know. You know, he’s not only having a baby with another woman, he’s actually living with her.

Chad: Right. You know, I think it’s definitely gonna be difficult for belle and shawn to work things out. You know, but, I don’t know. Maybe it’s because, you know, you and i were in a similar situation, and here we are stronger than ever. I happen to think they will at some point.

Abigail: I love your optimism. I hope you’re right.

Chad: Enough about all that. How was the checkup with kayla?

Abigail: Oh, I’m fine. I am happy to report I’m the picture of health. However…

[Chuckles] On the topic of babies– although picturing jan having– jan spears having a baby isn’t exactly the perfect segue here, um…

Chad: What are you saying? Are you pregnant?

Abigail: No. [Laughs]

Chad: No?

Abigail: No.

Chad: [Laughs] Okay.

Abigail: But I’m thinking I might like to be.

Kayla: Oh, will, it is so good to see you.

Will: You too. I wish we were seeing each other under better circumstances, obviously.

Kayla: Yes, I do too. So, sonny, you suspect that someone drugged you?

Sonny: I don’t suspect it. I’m sure of it. Um, I had some cookies last night that I thought were from will and arianna. But it turns out they were from leo stark and he must’ve put something in it ’cause they knocked me right out.

Kayla: And how are you feeling now?

Sonny: A little woozy… and a lot angry.

Will: Yeah. We talked to shawn and we need proof that sonny was drugged in order to press charges.

Kayla: Okay. Well, I’d like to give you the once-over just to be safe, and then we’ll draw your blood and see what we find.

Sonny: Okay.

Gwen: So moving right along now, the way I see it, I lost– I lost you-know-who, and you lost craig. So let’s see. If we do the math correctly, carry the one, and two negatives equal a positive–yep. X equals abigail loses chad.

Leo: [Sighs] You are a math whiz. Okay, so to get this equation where we want it, we need somebody to seduce chaddy-blue-eyes, correct?

Gwen: I succeeded at that myself a while back, as you know. Spent weeks sowing the seeds of distrust between him and abigail, and… got chad to cheat on my sister and get me pregnant.

Leo: Which ended tragically for you, I know.

Gwen: It did, indeed. God knows. I mean, if I hadn’t have lost that baby, perhaps things would’ve turned out quite differently for me.

Sarah: [Sniffling] You did this… for me. You put my little girl’s name on a stone so that she wouldn’t be forgotten.

Xander: You remember?

Sarah: Just– it hit me like a flash. We were here before. Together.

And–and I forgave you… after you did this.

[Sniffles]

Xander: Looking back, that was… when we started to heal, and then, slowly… you let me back into your heart.

Sarah: I still…

Xander: Oh, sarah.

Sarah: [Sobbing]

Xander: Well after 8:00.

[Sighs] I guess sarah isn’t gonna show.

Sarah: Xander, I am not just some bimbo who drops everything when you get lonely. I actually have a full schedule today.

Xander: Don’t you think you should eat something then? You know, keep your strength up?

Sarah: Oh, well, that’s a three-course meal. I was just gonna get a yogurt out of a vending machine.

Xander: Well, here’s a better idea. Why don’t we skip straight to dessert?

I’m on my knees, unemployed, apparently unengaged. I’m not really in a cake-kind-of-place right now–

Sarah: Will you just open the damn box?

Xander: This is really weird.

Sarah: [Sighs] Well? Will you? I want–I want you to go back to the salem inn room, and I’m gonna see you tomorrow at the wedding, and every day for the rest of my life.

Xander: Hm, you’re having your bachelorette party, aren’t you? Male strippers?

Sarah: Mm-hmm. No, I am not having a bachelorette party. I don’t have a maid of honor,and that’s who plans all that.

Xander: I should work on that too.

Sarah: Your maid of honor? You should. Go find her. Give me a kiss first.

[Both laugh]

Xander: I can’t wait to come back here tomorrow and see you in that dress, right before I make you my wife.

Sarah: [Crying]

Xander: Sarah, what is it?

Sarah: I remember. I remember everything. Psoriatic arthritis, made my joints stiff,

Abigail: [Sighs] I’m sorry to just throw that at you. I know we haven’t really talked about having kids for a long time now. I know we’ve just been through so much recently. I really, really– I don’t want you to think for a second that I’m not completely happy with my life right now. My life with you and thomas and charlotte– I am the luckiest person in the world.

Chad: No.

Abigail: No. No, like, no, you don’t–you don’t want me to be pregnant?

Chad: No. I am the luckiest person in the entire world, and nothing would make me happier than to make another baby with you.

Abigail: [Chuckles]

[Smooch]

Gwen: You know, the thing is, is I don’t think chad will really stray again– not after everything I put them through. It pains me to say this, but he and abigail seem to be stronger now than ever.

Leo: Boo. Well, if he won’t cheat, and she won’t cheat…

Gwen: Yeah. If we really want to punish abigail… we’re gonna have to take this plan to the next level.

Leo: Wait, are– are you suggesting we…

[Gags] You know?

Gwen: You think I’m capable of murder?

Leo: Well, you tell me, gwendolyn borden. You have been evasive and even been coy when it comes to telling me what really went down with old lady horton.

[Ominous music]

Gwen: You know, you’re right. I haven’t really been very straightforward with you– or with anyone, for that matter.

Leo: Well, dish, dish, dish, my love. You know your secret is safe with me.

Kayla: Okay, well, I am happy to report that your vitals are really in good shape.

Sonny: Okay.

Will: Oh, that’s good news, at least.

Sonny: Yeah, I mean, I feel fine now.

Kayla: Well, I think whatever leo gave you was just some kind of sedative, the effects of which have obviously worn off. Um, but I want to get you some answers and some proof, so I will get this sample to the lab and get ’em to rush on it.

Will: Okay. Hey, we are gonna make leo pay for what he did to you.

Belle: These things aren’t even from my office. They’re from shawn’s and my bedroom. So I guess jan has designs on taking over that room too.

Ej: I’m so sorry, belle.

Belle: You know, we were really happy then. Seems like a lifetime ago.

Ej: Belle–

Belle: No, thank you. You know what? I know what I need to do.

I was on an antidepressant,

Will: Hey. I’m so sorry this happened to you, sonny.

Sonny: No. Leo stark’s the one who’ll be sorry. Once we get those test results back, we’ll send him to a cold, lonely cell to rot… exactly where he belongs.

Gwen: After what laura horton did to me… she got what she deserved.

Leo: So does that mean that you did kill the old lady?

Gwen: That’s between me and her– maybe someday between me and abigail.

Leo: Okay, you have it your way, but you know what? I think it’s best we take murder off the table, given that we are both essentially decent, good-hearted people, yes? But still, there has to be some way to get back at that phony little actress for what she did to me.

Gwen: Mm, I assume we’re talking about abigail, yes? And if so, then I am sure that there is.

Leo: So does this mean you’re gonna help me figure something out?

Gwen: I’ll think about it.

Abigail: Oh, my god!

[Sighs] I can’t wait to go home and start planning for a new baby.

Chad: Well, there is no sense in planning… until we’ve put the work in.

Abigail: Uh-huh. Well, I say… lead the way, husband.

Chad: Oh.

Abigail: [Chuckles]

[Giggling]

Sarah: Something in me just wouldn’t let me remember everything that happened before. You know, everything that led up to me losing my baby.

Xander: Well, it makes sense. You were protecting yourself from the pain.

Sarah: Yeah. I guess that’s what it is. But it also made me forget all the good memories too. You know, when I was happy… with you.

Xander: You really remember it all?

Sarah: I do. And the memory of the last time that we made love is coming back right now. Do you remember?

Xander: Oh, I could never forget.

[Sensual music]

[Both chuckling]

[Soft dramatic music]

Belle: You need to look at these.

Shawn: What are they?

Belle: Uh, legal papers.

Shawn: Oh, god, belle. Please don’t tell me you’re petitioning the courts to keep jan away from her baby.

Belle: No, this is not about you and jan. This is about you and me.

Shawn: Oh, my god. Are you divorcing me?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Machines beeping, hissing]

Li: My beautiful boy. I still can’t believe what that woman did to you. Your own birth mother, shot you and left you for dead. You never should have been in that alley. Never been put in that kind of risk. But I won’t let that be your end. You’re still alive. And I’m the only person who knows.

Taylor: Hey, sweetie? Are the kids in the back with amelia?

Steffy: Thomas took them so kelly and hayes could spend some time with douglas.

Ridge: At least that’s somewhat normal, right?

Steffy: [Sighs] It’s just tough not having finn here. You know, we used to be a team, we used to figure out everything together and now it just… it’s just me.

Ridge: Well, that’s just not true.

Taylor: Oh, I know it feels like you’re all alone but you’re not, sweetie. You have people that love and support you.

Ridge: Yeah, we’re all here to help you with whatever you need.

Taylor: You know, I think the best way that we can support you is by encouraging you to take the time that you need and just get away with the kids.

Steffy: By leaving town. Sorry, that doesn’t feel right to me.

Donna: The times that… we’ve been spending here together, they’re… the happiest since… I mean, since we were married, really. If it were up to me, I would just keep doing this forever and ever and ever. But…you have a lot more at stake here, eric. You’re married, whether I approve of your wife or not.

[Sighs] So, I just–I need you… to be honest with me, okay? Like you always are. Do you want to stop seeing each other?

Quinn: Am I really hearing this? Are you saying you want to start things back up with paris?

Carter: It’s not the worst thing that can happen.

Quinn: Stop it! Carter, no! You can’t do this!

Quinn: You’re talking about a decision that can impact the rest of your life. You can’t do that on an impulse, because I’m telling you, if you open that door to paris, she is not gonna walk back out.

Carter: There are worse things than being tied to paris, quinn, okay? She loves me.

Quinn: I-I’d agree if you loved her back. But I have never heard you say that. Don’t be rash! That’s all I’m saying.

Carter: And all I’m saying is that I– all I’m saying is that I won’t let paris’s questions about my feelings for you undermine your marriage to eric.

Eric: I don’t want to stop seeing you.

Donna: Really?

Eric: Really.

Donna: I mean… I mean, that–that’s what i was hoping you would say, but I just–I just–

Eric: You’re so– you’re so beautiful.

Donna: So are you.

[Both laugh]

Eric: This is so precious to me, these moments with you, it’s so precious to me. It means so much. What is this, you’re gonna– now you’re starting to cry?

Donna: It’s because… it’s because I’m so happy.

[Crying]

[Sobs]

Eric: [Murmurs]

[Chuckles]

Taylor: You and the kids are trying to navigate this terrible tragedy, losing finn. Your life suddenly changed and it’s okay to take some time to try to figure out how to gently move forward instead of thinking you have to barrel through this.

Steffy: But I can do that here.

Taylor: I think you could… give yourself permission to just take a break and–and get away and–and gently process your loss.

Ridge: You know, your mom is right. We don’t want you to leave but maybe that is exactly what you need right now.

Trelegy for copd.

Donna: I am so lucky to have you in my life still after all of this time.

Eric: Yeah. I never… lost my connection to you. You make me smile from the inside out. You make me… feel so warm, and–and… so loved.

Donna: There you go again, making me happy. You’d better be careful, mister, because I could get used to this.

Eric: It’s the least you deserve.

Quinn: I would never ask you to compromise your life, any part of it, on my behalf.

Carter: I know.

Quinn: Making a commitment to a woman you don’t love to keep her nose out of my business is a huge compromise.

Carter: We did say “I love you” to each other.

Quinn: Yeah, but did you mean it or were you just in the moment?

Carter: I won’t let paris undermine your marriage because she’s jealous and to be honest, quinn, being with her was no hardship. There were times I couldn’t wait to see her. Like, I can– I can get back there again.

Quinn: You shouldn’t have to work on it. You’re a huge romantic, carter. You were ready to walk away from everything that meant anything to you to run away with me.

Carter: And you said no. Maybe that’s why I didn’t give this relationship with paris a fair shot, why I didn’t fight for it. I wasn’t all in.

Quinn: Or maybe you just weren’t feeling it.

Carter: No, no, I was holding back, you know. And then there was zende to consider. I didn’t want to do to him what we did to eric. Even though paris and I, we’re not…[Chuckles] We’re not you and me.

Quinn: That should tell you something.

Carter: It does tell me something. It tells me that I’d be alone forever waiting for something like what we had to hit me again. I don’t want to be a bachelor, quinn. I don’t want to be a bachelor anymore. So I can– I can reconnect with paris. It wouldn’t be difficult. It wouldn’t be difficult to make more of it.

Quinn: But is that really what you want? Do you care enough about paris to go back to her? Or would you be doing that for me?

Steffy: Good thing I’ve got thick skin.

Ridge: What do you mean?

Steffy: It sounds like you want to get rid of me.

Ridge: Are you kidding me right now?

Taylor: No, honey, your father and I are just suggesting that you take the kids and you get out of la for a minute. Just go someplace beautiful, someplace quiet. Someplace where you can really be with kelly and hayes.

Steffy: You really think it’s a good idea to take the kids away from what’s familiar?

Taylor: I think right now kelly and hayes would really appreciate some one-on-one time with mommy, you know? Just…just being with them. Answering their questions, taking all the time you need. You could do it, honey. You could…get out of this environment and… reconnect as a family.

Steffy: Yeah, I used to have that. I don’t have that anymore. Kelly, hayes, finn, we were a family, but that doesn’t exist. It was destroyed when sheila took finn away from us. I’m susan and I’m 52

Donna: This is just heaven. Being alone with you.

Eric: I love that about you.

Donna: Hmm?

Eric: How you value the simple things.

Donna: Yeah, I don’t really need a lot. Just my honey bear. When I’m with you like this, it’s just… nothing else matters.

Eric: Look, I hate to break the spell…

Donna: No… no, no, no, no, no, no. Don’t–don’t say it, don’t say it.

Eric: I have to go.

Donna: Is it wrong of me to say that I wish you didn’t have to go? I mean…

[Sighs] I live for these moments. Don’t worry, I–I’M… I don’t have any expectations, eric, I… I’m not gonna make any demands, okay? Or pressure you at all.

[Sighs] I just… I just want to be with you. I just want to make you happy, that’s it.

Eric: You do. Without even trying.

Carter: I know how important eric is to you. He’s the center of your life as you are to his and I jeopardized your marriage in the past. I won’t do that again.

Quinn: But you’re not doing anything. I’m not doing anything! We would never hurt eric like that again.

Carter: I still feel guilty. Eric trusted me. He made a place for me in his family, and what do I do? I have an affair with his wife. I practically begged you to run away with me.

Quinn: But I didn’T. And eric has forgiven both of us!

Carter: And I want it to stay that way. Paris is asking questions about my feelings for you because she can tell that I still care. How much I’ll always care about you.

Ridge: Finn is gone. And the pain of that has got to be excruciating.

Steffy: Yeah, sometimes I think I see finn out of the corner of my eye and… for a wonderful second I… I forget. And then I turn to where he should be and he’S… he’s not there. I’ll never see my husband again.

Taylor: I–I cannot imagine how you must be feeling, steffy. But you’re right, finn should be here. He should be here, living his best life with you and the kids and I… I hate that he’s not. But you–you will find the strength to cope with this sweetheart. You will.

Ridge: But–but maybe not here, you know, surrounded by all these memories. This may not be the best place.

Taylor: I think taking the kids and–and–and getting away might be better than–than forcing yourself to stay here because you think that you have to stay stuck in this sadness.

Steffy: If I leave our home, I feel like I’m abandoning finn. Maybe it would’ve been easier if I felt like I had some closure but I didn’t get that. I didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye. And when I reached out to leave, it was too late. He’s gone. My husband is gone forever.

[Machine beeping]

[Keys clacking] If you have copd,

Quinn: I’m always gonna care about you, too. I’m just–I can’t have you make any life-changing decisions because of me.

Carter: I already came between you and eric once. And I don’t regret a single minute we spent together, quinn, but I am deeply sorry we hurt him. I won’t do that again. I’m picking up with paris, she’ll stop asking questions, and you and eric, you get to be happy without any outside interference.

Quinn: What about you?

Carter: This isn’t about me.

Quinn: Of course this is about you, you being trapped in a relationship with a woman you don’t love. Come on, no, I will not let you put that justification on me.

Carter: There’s different ways you can love! Who’s to say my feeling for paris aren’t viable?

Quinn: Come on, carter. Seriously?

Carter: [Growls] You want the truth? Fine. Here’s the truth. I am tired of sitting on the sidelines watching everyone move on with their life, including you. How many weddings have i presided over? I mean, how many people have I–have I– have I walked into their future while I sit at home alone? I don’t want that. I want to be a husband in the worst way. I want a family.

Quinn: And you will have that. You will be such a great husband, the best anyone could ask for.

Carter: Yeah. To paris.

Quinn: I’m not going to let you sacrifice your future because of me. Unless you can look me in the eye and you can tell me that you love paris with all the passion you have inside of you. I’ll accept that. And I’ll wish you well. So you tell me. Is paris really the woman you love?

Carter: We both know the answer to that.

Steffy: I can’t believe I’m using words like… “closure” and “goodbye” about finn. We were supposed to grow old together. Raise our children, I don’t know. Travel the world. Finn’s not supposed to be gone.

Ridge: No, he’s not.

Steffy: I will hate sheila for the rest of my life. Hayes will grow up without a father. My husband is dead.

Ridge: Well, she’s behind bars, not gonna hurt anyone ever again.

Steffy: Oh. I want her to suffer every single day in prison. Finn was our anchor. He was the center of our world. We were supposed to have a happy life and instead I just… I watched him die.

Ridge: And I wish I could take that image away from you.

Steffy: I wish I could’ve stopped it somehow.

Taylor: Oh, honey, it’s natural to–to wish we could go back and change things but please don’t do that to yourself.

Ridge: There’s nothing you could have done, nothing.

Taylor: Please don’t–don’t beat yourself up. Finn wouldn’t want you to do that. He… he would want you to do whatever you can to find peace. Please…please consider what your father and I are suggesting. Just give yourself permission to take the kids and get away.

Ridge: Whatever it is you need, you’re not gonna find it here, not for a long time, anyway.

Steffy: [Sighs] Maybe you’re right. Maybe it is what we need. Finn is everywhere in this home. He’s upstairs, he’S… he’s in the nursery, he’S… he’s at the beach, about to come home from a surf. Like, I feel like if I… if I say his name he’ll hear me, he’ll–he’d answer.

[Sniffles] Oh, finn.

[Sighs] Oh, finn.

Steffy: Finn.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Phyllis: Ta-da!

Jack: A picnic? What did I do to deserve this?

Phyllis: Well, I, um — you know, I’m trying some new summer specials. “Grand picnics with the grand phoenix.” It’s cute [Chuckling] Right? I mean, I have a lot of different combinations. And some are elegant. Some are romantic. What do you think? Yeah?

Jack: I love it, but we’re here to bounce ideas around?

Phyllis: Well, no, not exactly.

Jack: Well, we’re obviously not here to try to get back in sync since you brought me to a very public place.

Phyllis: You’re under a lot of pressure these days with jabot and the she-devil. You deserve the finer things in life, I think.

Jack: Berries.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm.

Jack: Doughnuts.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Jack: And bubbly.

Phyllis: Right.

Jack: [ Chuckles ]

Phyllis: I have a bunch of different combinations. This is our — our high-carb combination [Laughs] Obviously. But… and — and we can celebrate, the two of us right now, with the possibility of summer and harrison and kyle moving back to genoa city.

Jack: Uh-huh, that would certainly change things.

Phyllis: Yeah, it would answer my lonely mom dreams.

Jack: Yeah. Be nice to have them back here.

Phyllis: Buy marchetti.

Jack: Would be an interesting prospect, but very expensive and very risky for jabot. I hope you understand I cannot make this happen solely to get summer and kyle back home.

Diane: Kyle. Summer. What a nice surprise. Come on in.

Kyle: I just wanted to see how you were settling in, if you need anything.

Diane: I think I will be much happier here at the athletic club not worrying about phyllis lurking in the shadows. I — I shouldn’t complain in front of her daughter. That’s a faux pas. And no offense intended, but your mother really has it out for me.

Summer: None taken. I am well aware of my mother’s feelings about you.

Diane: Mm. Well, I hope the fact that you’re here is an indication that you’re an independent thinker, that you’re willing to make up your own mind about me.

Summer: I am here to support my husband. I see you’ve wasted no time making yourself at home.

Diane: Oh. [ Chuckles ] The picture? Yes, it’s kind of a tradition. Whenever I’d move, it’d be the first thing I took out of my bag, the picture of my beautiful boy. I imagine that you’ll need to pack up your belongings and head back to your work in milan before too long.

Kyle: That might not be the case.

Diane: Oh?

Kyle: There’s a chance we might move back to genoa city. Permanently.

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Michael: I’ve completed all the paperwork. You just give me the green light, and I will file a civil — [Quietly] I will file a civil suit against ashland.

[ Fingers snapping ]

Victor: I want you to bury that bastard in subpoenas and depositions. But there’s one thing I’m worried about — that this becomes public. I don’t want the company to get hurt, and certainly not victoria.

Michael: None of this is going to see the light of day in a courtroom. Look, locke is a clever guy. He’s gonna see what’s coming, and he’s gonna wave the white flag before it ever gets that far.

Victor: You turn up the heat. You make sure that happens. I don’t want any reason for ashland locke to stay in this town. You got it?

Ashland: Okay, listen. Um, a solid legal agreement aside, what if things have changed between the biological father and myself? The relationship we once shared just a short time ago has become strained.

Pat: I’m sorry to hear that.

Ashland: Yeah, I just want to make sure that, per this agreement, kyle and summer can’t keep me from spending time with harrison.

Pat: I’ll review the agreement and get back to you.

Ashland: Can you get back to me this afternoon? Would that be okay?

Pat: Always happy to be of service.

Ashland: Listen, uh, this — this child means everything to me. I just want to make sure I’m on solid legal ground in case things — things go south. Can you please just let me know as soon as possible if there’s some change we have to make?

Pat: I’ll be in touch.

Ashland: Thank you. Sharon, I — my god. I don’t even know where to begin. I just hope you know how sorry i am about rey.

Sharon: I don’t want your thoughts and prayers or whatever it is that you were about to say. You can save it. I actually have a few things that I want to say to you.

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Phyllis: Thank you. I thought having kyle and harrison back in town would be the answer to your prayers.

Jack: It would be a very nice thing indeed.

Phyllis: Okay, well, then why aren’t you working like hell to acquire marchetti?

Jack: Phyllis, you are a businesswoman. You know you don’t buy a company just to fill an emotional need. It has to make financial sense.

Phyllis: Oh, I understand that. I mean, summer said the numbers were great.

Jack: The numbers are impressive, yes, but jabot just got out of the fashion business. I’m not sure if it’s the right move to get back in.

Phyllis: Mnh. It’s the right move for summer’s family.

Jack: Uprooting themselves again? Harrison’s just learned the language. They have a house. They — milan is their home.

Phyllis: Genoa city’s their home. It’ll always be their home.

Jack: Okay, I think I owe it to everyone, including jabot, to step back, think this through from all angles, and decide what the right move is.

Phyllis: Right. Okay. Well, I’ll help you with that. Okay, you — you buy marchetti, and, um, you have your entire family on one continent. You don’t buy marchetti, and you spend a lot of money flying back and forth to italy. And then summer will have to look for another position because, you know, it’ll either go under or somebody will buy it up, and we don’t know if they’re gonna hire her back.

Jack: Obviously, you would throw caution to the wind and spend your last dime to get them both back here.

Phyllis: Yeah. Without hesitation. I’ve actually thought about it a lot. I don’t care about diane and ashland and that. I just — I want my daughter home.

Jack: You must be very irritated with me at the moment.

Phyllis: No. I understand what you’re doing. You’re a businessman. You have to think about your family’s company and look at all the angles, just like you did with us. You took it day by day.

Jack: Yeah, I don’t think i ever thought of the parallels, but, yeah, just like us.

Phyllis: Yeah. So, would you do a favor for me?

Jack: Sure. What?

Phyllis: Pick up a doughnut.

Jack: Okay. What are we doing here?

Phyllis: We are going to celebrate anyway. We’re gonna celebrate —

Jack: Well, a positive spin. I like this. Go ahead.

Phyllis: Um, the possibility of summer and kyle and harrison moving back and reuniting with them again and us reuniting.

Diane: Moving home? This is incredible! Your families must be so happy.

Summer: Well, nothing is set in stone quite yet.

Kyle: Yeah, we’re having conversations.

Diane: Then I will remain cautiously optimistic.

[ Chuckles ] Although I am curious as to why you’re considering it.

Summer: It’s kind of a long story.

Diane: Don’t tell me that you’ve quit your dream job at marchetti so kyle can move home. That’s a heroic sacrifice.

Kyle: Summer wouldn’t be moving back because of me.

Diane: Oh?

Kyle: This was a mutual decision based on what would be best for both of our careers.

Summer: And our families. The abbotts and the newmans.

Diane: I see.

Summer: It was my idea initially, and the best part — I wouldn’t be giving up my dream job.

Diane: I’d love to hear more.

Summer: Well, I don’t want to jinx it, but it is a real possibility.

Diane: Well, forgive me if I’m getting ahead of myself, but I’d love to spend more time with you for however long you’re in town.

Summer: Oh. That is so nice of you to say. But don’t you have any commitments back in L.A.? A job? A life? Friends who miss you?

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Well, that’s one of the benefits of working in real estate — I’m my own boss. So I’m free to be here for as long as kyle wants me to be. But you know I won’t push, right?

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Summer: Oh. Excuse me.

Diane: Oh, of course.

Summer: It’s my grandfather.

Diane: Well, free free to take the call.

Summer: That’s okay. I’ll talk to him later.

Kyle: We should get going. Got a lot on our plate if we want to make this move a reality.

Diane: Then I won’t keep you a moment longer. I hope that everything works out exactly the way you want it, and thank you so much for checking in.

Kyle: We’ll talk soon.

Diane: Okay. Bye.

Sharon: I’m aware of the fact that you’ve donated a large sum of money to new hope in rey’s name. $250 million, to be exact.

Ashland: I was assured that donation would remain anonymous. I never want anyone to —

Sharon: Okay, we both know that’s a load of crap! But I am glad, however, that rey’s name will live on in association with good works and helping people improve their lives and that yours won’T. Because from everything that i have seen, you have done nothing but lie to people who unfortunately trusted you. And I don’t want you to think that this grand gesture absolves you of anything because it doesn’T. You lied about having a fatal illness that kills millions of people every year, and clearly you don’t take that seriously, but I do.

Ashland: I know.

Sharon: And when I confronted you a few weeks ago about your lies, you nearly swore up and down that it was some smear campaign against you and that your hands were clean, but now I know. I know the truth, and I know the depth of your deception. You faked your illness, you lied about your recovery, and it was all for some personal gain.

Ashland: I deeply regret what I’ve done.

Sharon: You have no idea what it’s like to hear your doctor tell you that you have cancer. All you can do is wonder how much time you have left. And there are a lot of days that you don’t want to get out of bed, but you do it anyway because you don’t want the people who love you and care about you to worry. There are days when you are so miserable that you seriously just want it all to come to an end. But I was really lucky. I had a lot of people around me caring for me and loving me, and they were there for me all the time, whether I wanted them there or not. They got me through the treatments and through nausea, nightmares. And, you know, to this day, the thing that haunts me the most about it is what my illness did to them and the tears that they shed and — and the bargains that they had to make with god. You did that. You put victoria and harrison through that on purpose. You were intentionally cruel to them, and there is no amount of money in the world that could ever make amends for that. You’re disgusting.

Noah: Mom? Everything okay here?

Sharon: Yeah. It’s fine. It’s a lot better now that you’re here. Um… let me get you something to drink. I brought in ensure max protein,

Victor: I wonder why summer’s not answering her phone.

Adam: Gentlemen.

Victor: Adam. My boy.

Adam: Hey, I don’t mean to interrupt, but I was just wondering if you had heard anything from victoria since she took her much-needed r&R.

Victor: No, as a matter of fact, I haven’T. But I’m sure she’s fine.

Adam: When do you expect her to return?

Victor: I hope she stays for a long time and enjoys herself, you know?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] However many massages it takes to get her head back in the game, right?

Victor: Please, no criticism of your sister, alright?

Adam: No, I’m not taking a shot at her. I wish her the best.

Victor: The longer she stays away, the more of a chance we have to send locke his way. You know that he’s using the boy, harrison, now as an excuse to stay in town.

Adam: Why are you wasting your time chasing someone who’s clearly got other issues to deal with? I mean, he’s focused on his son. He’s not causing us any trouble. Maybe the best thing to do would be not pay attention to him at all.

Michael: Ignoring a festering sore won’t make it go away.

Adam: Okay, now I see what’s going on here. A lawyer with an axe to grind because ashland sent you to a peruvian prison.

Michael: You think?

Adam: Look, you’re angry. It’s understandable, but, i mean, is it really in the newman family’s best interest to continue to hold ashland accountable after he has accepted our deal?

Michael: Well, it seems to me that you want to hold victoria accountable, and the only person who would benefit from punishing your ceo would be what, who? You — adam!

Victor: Please, please, please, please, please. Calm down, both of you. We need to get ashland locke not only out of our lives, but out of town. And I have a way to do that.

Sharon: How’s the drink?

Noah: It’s pretty tasty. What is it?

Sharon: Oh, it’s something special I just make for my favorite customers.

Noah: Mm. I guess it’s safe to say you didn’t make one for mr. Ashland locke then.

Sharon: No, I did not.

Noah: Can I go deal with him, or am I supposed to pretend i didn’t pick up on all the tension when I walked in here?

Sharon: I don’t want to waste another moment of thought on him.

Noah: [ Sighs ] Okay. Alright, well, did you at least get a chance to look at the group chat? Tessa and mariah — they just dropped a bunch of pictures from their honeymoon.

Sharon: Oh, all the selfies they took of them in front of every single exhibit and statue in paris?

Noah: [ Chuckling ] Yeah. Yeah, it looks like they’re having the time of their life. Kind of makes me miss europe.

Sharon: Don’t tell me you’re getting tired of genoa city. I know you keep saying that you want to stay, but then you get the urge to wander.

Noah: I’m not going anywhere, mom. I love being home.

Sharon: What is it that you miss?

Noah: Maybe I miss the art. Maybe — maybe I’m just feeling restless. Either way, I’m fine. I promise. Are you sure you’re okay?

Sharon: I love you for worrying, but I don’t need your protection. Hey! Allie, come on in.

Allie: Sorry. I didn’t want to interrupt.

Sharon: No, no, not at all. Um, I was really happy to see you at mariah and tessa’s wedding.

Allie: Yeah.

Sharon: I hope you had a good time.

Allie: Oh, it was so fun. I had a really great time.

Noah: Ohh. Only the boldest of wedding crashers would dare admit something like that.

Allie: Oh, oh, sharon, i didn’t crash the wedding, by the way. Summer had invited me and insisted it was okay for me to go.

Sharon: He’s just kidding.

[ Chuckles ] People were really happy to get to meet you.

Allie: Well, I had a great time and felt very thankful to be included.

Noah: [ Chuckles ]

Sharon: So, uh, what can i get you?

Allie: Um…something cold?

Sharon: Great. Um, why don’t you sit down someplace and I’ll bring it over?

Allie: Okay. Sounds good.

[ Liquid pouring, ice cubes clinking ]

Noah: I think she’s feeling a little overwhelmed with the new city and her whole instant family.

Sharon: Well, right after losing her father, she found out that she’s an abbott, and that’s got to be a lot to adjust to.

Noah: Yeah. Here. I’ll take that. Let’s see if I can annoy her any less than I have been.

Sharon: Mm.

[ Sighs ]

Summer: I got your message to meet you here. Got to admit, I’ve missed these impromptu visits.

Victor: Well, we have all missed you, you know.

Summer: It’s been so hard to be so far from family.

Victor: I know.

Summer: There was no popping out for coffee with mom or running into victoria in the park.

Victor: I know. We might have to do something about that, right? So you know, nikki and I will have a little party at the ranch as to honor your presence and kyle’s presence and harrison’s presence, okay?

Summer: Maybe we can make it a celebration dinner.

Victor: In what way?

Summer: We are considering moving back home.

Victor: You are? I love that.

Summer: We are still in the fingers-crossed phase, but i hope you’re ready for those chess lessons with harrison because when I told him that you offered to teach him, he broke out into this new little happy dance. You’ve got to see it.

Victor: I’m looking forward to it.

Summer: But do not let that innocent little face fool you because he has perfected it while we’ve been away.

Victor: Oh, I bet.

Summer: And then to hear the italian coming out of his little mouth?

Victor: He speaks a little italian?

Summer: [ Laughs ] Forget it.

Victor: I love that. Really?

Summer: Just try not to spoil him.

[ Laughs ]

Victor: It’s a grandfather’s privilege to spoil his grandchildren, you know? As far as I’m concerned, he is now as much a newman as he is an abbott.

Summer: Ashland still considers himself harrison’s father.

Victor: That’s the reason i asked you to come by, okay? We need to do something about that. We need to protect the boy.

Summer: Protect him how?

Victor: I want you to talk to kyle, ask him to restrict all visitation rights between harrison and ashland locke. I want that man out of town. I want to sever all ties. With harrison or anyone else completely. I’m steve, I lost 138 pounds in nine months on golo

Noah: There you are.

Allie: Oh, thanks.

Noah: A little concoction my mother whipped up. I think she only makes it for the cool kids.

Allie: Ohh. Why? Because you got one?

Noah: Yeah, something like that. Give it a try.

Allie: Mmm. It’s great. It’s really refreshing. Thank you.

Noah: Well, you were clearly about to rock out to some tunes. It’s much better than my sad attempts at scintillating small talk. There’s plenty of tables to choose from, so don’t worry about me bothering you.

Allie: Actually, I was gonna listen to a podcast.

Noah: Ohh. Podcast.

Allie: Yes, a podcast.

Noah: Let me guess. True crime? No. Science — engineering failures or chemical formulas that helped shape the world.

Allie: Really? Wow. You are so far off the mark, noah. I was gonna go listen to my great uncle billy’s podcast. Wow, that’s really weird to say. I’ve never had a great uncle before.

Noah: Which episode are you on? He just released a great one. It’s all about feeling insecure.

Allie: Yeah, about feeling out of place.

[ Chuckles ]

Noah: Yeah.

Allie: Yeah. Wait — I just started, so don’t spoil it.

Noah: I promise. It is a good one, though. Definitely relatable.

Allie: Relatable? What, you? I don’t believe that. You seem totally secure.

Noah: I do?

Allie: Yeah, you do. You aren’t great at humor or irony. I mean, sometimes I even wonder if you know the difference between what’s amusing and embarrassing. But you just put yourself out there and barrel ahead. It’s actually — it’s actually very brave of you.

Noah: You know, I’m not sure that’s a compliment.

Allie: Oh, it’s not. It’s just an observation.

Noah: [ Laughs ] So, you like podcasts, huh?

Allie: I do. I listen to it all the time when I’m in the lab or when I go running. My new favorite — “the grinning soul.”

Noah: Ohh, yeah, I like that one, too. Yeah, the whole “truth to power” angle.

Allie: Yes. I love how he just puts it all out there, you know? Like, you know, when he’s angry, he just vents and doesn’t really hold back. I wish I could just vent like that.

Noah: Well, everyone needs an outlet.

Allie: Do you have one?

Noah: Yeah. I mean, anytime something’s bothering me or I’m feeling confounded by something, I just do a little sketch.

Allie: So, is something bothering you right now?

Ashland: For what it’s worth, I am trying to make amends.

Sharon: I don’t believe for one second that you feel an ounce of remorse.

Ashland: I am truly sorry for your loss.

Sharon: Please just save your condolences. I don’t want them. There’s not enough time in the world for you to make amends, and anybody who would do something like you did is someone that I don’t care to know.

Ashland: Okay.

Noah: And that, I hope, is all you’ll ever need to know about ashland locke.

Allie: Wow. He just left, so at least you don’t have to worry about him bugging your mom anymore.

Noah: [ Sighs ] Yeah, my mom — she’s the strongest person I know. I don’t know why I feel so compelled to protect her.

Allie: Because you’re a good son.

Noah: Oh. Well, there’s a shock, that you actually think I’m good at something.

Allie: I’m just saying that i think it’s especially difficult for you to take a step back right now, considering that your mom just lost her husband. Everything must be falling on your shoulders right now.

Noah: Yeah. I mean, you know how it is. You — you lost your dad recently.

Allie: Yeah.

[ Footsteps approaching ] Oh, wow, sharon, these look amazing, but I didn’t order them.

Sharon: Those are on the house.

Allie: Thank you. That’s so lovely. Thank you.

Sharon: Enjoy.

Noah: This looks decadent.

Allie: This looks amazing. Oh.

Noah: That one.

Allie: Going for the cookie. Okay. Fine. You know, your mom is so kind and caring, even when she’s grieving.

Noah: Yeah, she’s the type that’s overflowing with love. You know, it spills over into everything she touches, even more so these days ’cause — she had a lot of love for rey, but now she doesn’t have anywhere to put it. Want your clothes to smell freshly

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Summer: You know how much i love and respect you, granddad. But you’re talking about escalating things here, about taking legal action against ashland. I’m just not sure what that would accomplish.

Victor: Trust me when I tell you it is of the utmost importance that ashland locke gets the hell out of town.

Summer: Kyle and I are both concerned about ashland’s influence over harrison, and it is our job to protect him now, mine and kyle’S.

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Diane: Ashland! You’re a difficult man to chase down. You rushed right past me at the coffeehouse. And since you’re one of the few people in this town who will actually speak to me, I thought we could — I don’t know — share a bench, enjoy the sunshine.

Ashland: Thank you.

Diane: Sure.

Phyllis: Ugh.

Jack: What?

Phyllis: Look at this. No matter how beautiful it is outside, there are always pests.

Diane: Hello, you two. Enjoying the day?

Phyllis: Why are you together? Really. Is there some sort of gravitational pull two pariahs would have?

Diane: Let me guess. You’re celebrating the return of kyle’s adorable family to the fold for good.

Jack: That is neither public information nor a foregone conclusion.

Diane: Oh. I’m — I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it was a secret.

Phyllis: How’d you find out?

Diane: Summer told me. She and kyle dropped by my gorgeous new suite at the athletic club earlier today. It is such a lovely and charming space. I really should have stayed there from the very beginning. And it is so comfy. I already feel like I’m at home. I may never leave.

Jack: No firm decisions have been made. Any celebrating would be highly premature.

Diane: I got it. But I am excited about the possibility of really getting to know my son and daughter-in-law. And of course my adorable grandson will be so spoiled by his dee-dee.

Ashland: What?

Diane: Dee-dee. That’s the name that kyle and i decided that harrison should call me.

Ashland: I’m sorry. Would it be alright if I ask just how harrison is doing? I would still love to see him.

Jack: Certain details of the arrangement are being re-evaluated, given your recent actions.

Phyllis: And, uh, by “recent actions,” we mean lying about having cancer.

Ashland: Jack, I’ve taken your advice. I’ve spoken to my attorney.

Jack: I think decisions about harrison need to be made by kyle and summer right now.

Ashland: Yeah, I understand that, but I also have rights where harrison is concerned. Look, this doesn’t have to be acrimonious.

Jack: Oh, I think we’re well beyond that, given what you’ve done. A word to the wise — any friendship that is burgeoning here might not help your campaign to show genoa city a new and improved dee-dee.

Want a worry-free

way to kill bugs?

[ Cellphones ping ]

Noah: Oh. Another episode of “the grinning soul” just dropped.

Allie: Yeah. Well, it will be something that I’ll listen to later. I’m gonna go on a run since i don’t have a sketchpad to vent to.

Noah: Oh.

Allie: Mm.

Noah: Alright, well, knock yourself out. I will just doodle away my frustrations.

Allie: What a doodler.

Noah: You know who else was a doodler?

Allie: Who?

Noah: Da vinci.

Allie: Wow, so you’re saying that you’re on the same level as him?

Noah: I guess you’ll just have to stick around and see.

Allie: [ Laughs ] Okay.

Noah: [ Laughs ]

Victor: If you and kyle and harrison return to genoa city, that’ll give ashland locke a reason to stay.

Summer: You don’t think that we can handle him.

Victor: You two are two very good-natured people. You have good hearts. And he will talk you into sharing custody. That will be a huge problem.

Summer: When we heard what ashland did to victoria and the family…

Victor: Right.

Summer: …Kyle was ready to rip him to shreds.

Victor: I like that impulse.

Summer: It should be too complicated to keep ashland out of harrison’s life. On one hand, you have kyle, who is an upstanding member of the community, who’s established his paternity and absolutely adores his son. And then there’s ashland, who is a liar and a criminal, even if he’s never officially been charged with anything.

Victor: I want you to feel assured of the fact that michael baldwin and I have a lot of evidence against ashland locke.

Summer: And ashland was more than fine with kyle and I taking harrison to milan with us. That should work in our favor, as well.

Victor: So, you have been thinking about this? I like that.

Summer: That boy owns a huge piece of my heart. I am determined to protect him.

Victor: So, you will talk to kyle about all this?

Summer: I’ll make it happen.

Diane: I have to say, you’ve made your fair share of enemies in this town.

Ashland: Have you been spying on me?

Diane: [ Laughs ] No, no. But I did overhear sharon giving you a piece of her mind, and i know there’s tension between you and kyle and summer, but I — I don’t know the details.

Ashland: Well, I couldn’t help but notice that you have your share of adversaries, as well.

Diane: I’ll admit I deserve a lot of the venom that’s spewed my way, but it is what it is. Rebuilding my relationship with kyle is what’s most important to me.

Ashland: I’m afraid that my actions will keep me from seeing my son. See, that’s very interesting to me. You, uh — you didn’t even flinch when I referred to harrison as my son just now, even though you are kyle’s mother.

Diane: Well, from what I’ve observed, harrison has two fathers who love him. He’s a lucky boy. But what I want to know is what you’ve done to become the most hated man in genoa city.

Ashland: Oh, now, don’t limit me to genoa city. I am the most hated man wherever I go. I’m very proud of that.

Diane: [ Laughs ] Alright. I’ll share my dirty laundry if you share yours.

Ashland: Well, I suppose you’re gonna find out anyway. At least this way, I get to, uh, control the narrative.

[ Clears throat ] Brace yourself. Listen, I’m done settling. Because this is my secret.

Phyllis: Our perfect picnic trampled on by diane. Or should I call her “dee-dee”?

[ High-pitched voice ] Dee-dee! Ugh, she’s like a mosquito that you want to swat away, but you can’T. She and ashland locke, by the way, are perfect for each other. They’re cut from the same cloth.

Jack: I had a great time. And I’m not gonna let anything or anyone ruin my memory of the day.

Phyllis: Diane ruins everything.

Jack: Listen to me. Let’s go back to where we were — celebrating our family reunion, celebrating us. Hey, look, the hotel is doing great. Jabot is doing great. Our kids are doing great.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Jack: Let’s enjoy that blessing.

Phyllis: Okay. Okay. I agree. And you know what I hope? I hope that ashland locke is finally diane’s undoing.

Diane: Wow. When we started this whole “who has more to be ashamed of” contest, I was worried that I’d win by a mile, but I don’t know. From my calculations, I think it’s a draw.

Ashland: So, does this change your opinion of me as to whether or not I’m qualified to be a good father?

Diane: Oh, who am I to judge? I mean, I just told you that i essentially abandoned my son.

Ashland: You do realize what this means, right? Right now, we are in a very rare judgment-free zone.

Diane: Yes. We’re both equally guilty… but both equally searching for redemption.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] I just — I — I hate the possibility that this could turn into a nasty legal battle with harrison at the center of it. That boy is the only source of love and light in my life right now. I — he’s the only person that still looks at me as if I hung the moon. And the idea that he would find out something about me that would change the way he thinks about me — I just —

[ Sighs ]

Diane: I know. I’ve been there.

[ Chuckles ] Kyle and I were so close when he was young. And I truly believe that what i did was to protect him. And I know now how terribly wrong I was. But seeing the conflict in kyle’s eyes and — and knowing the pain I put him through as a child…guts me.

[ Voice breaking ] You know, the only good thing about pretending to be dead is that I wasn’t here to witness the aftermath of ripping his heart to shreds.

Ashland: But, see, that’s exactly — exactly why I want to stay here and fight for my right to see harrison. Because I want him to know that I would never turn my back on him. He will always be a part of my life, and — and my love for him is real. And think about this. Think about what it would do to him, think about what he would think if I were to suddenly just disappear from his life entirely with no explanation whatsoever.

Diane: Well, there’s no easy solution for either of us. And if we stay, we have to be willing to bear the slings and arrows.

[ Sighs ] But I won’t take jack’s warning lightly. I wouldn’t want to do anything that would jeopardize my chances with kyle. So, ashland, I feel for you. And I’m sorry. But if you’re hoping I’ll plead your case, I — I can’T.

Ashland: I understand. This is my battle. And, um…whatever it costs, harrison is worth it.

Summer: Tell me everything. Are we any closer to getting jabot to acquire marchetti?

Kyle: Well, I talked to our financial team and got a clearer picture of the ramifications. I think we’re gonna make a full presentation to my dad.

Summer: That’s great news.

Kyle: What did victor want? Oh, let me guess. He summoned you to give you another earful about my mother.

Summer: It was about ashland and harrison. My grandfather thinks that we should consider taking immediate legal action against locke to restrict his access to harrison. He even has michael baldwin on board to make that happen.

Kyle: Yeah, well, victor’s got a point. Now that we’re hoping to move back to genoa city, I don’t want ashland to have any influence over harrison.

Summer: So he needs to be stopped.

Kyle: No, it’s not that simple. Harrison loves the guy. And we don’t want to take any action that could harm our little boy down the road. We have to handle this situation very carefully

Summer: Of course. We need to be sensitive to harrison’s needs, and removing locke from his life might cause some confusion initially, but the older harrison gets, the harder this change is going to be. I promise you we will explain it to him in the most loving and caring way possible, but ashland is heartless and manipulative. We can’t allow him to be in harrison’s life or to have any influence over him. We need to stop him…now.

Kyle: [ Sighs ]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Thomas: I should have told you, steff. I’m so sorry.

[ Steffy sighing ]

Steffy: Why would you ever keep her secret? You knew sheila couldn’t be trusted.

Ridge: But we should’ve been able to trust you.

Thomas: Yeah, you should’ve. You should have. And I have no idea why I didn’t tell you. I just… if I had told you, then maybe you and finn wouldn’t have ended up in that alley.

Steffy: No, no, no, I’m not– I’m not– I’m not going to put that on you. When I think about that night, everything that led up to it, like, yeah, it’s– it’s hard. You know, I come here and I try to get away from it, but obviously I, uh, I can’T. Finn’s gone. My husband is never coming back.

[ Machines beeping ]

Quinn: I love my husband.

We’re happily married.

And what happened between

me and carter is in

the past and that’s where

it’s going to stay.

Do you get it?

[ Clearing throat ]

Quinn: Hey, carter.

Carter: Hey, um, you have a minute? I, uh, I need to talk to you about eric.

[ Sighs luxuriously ]

Eric: Donna? Did I hear you sigh, just now?

Donna: Did I?

[ Laughing ]

Eric: Yeah, you did. That must mean you’re very relaxed.

Donna: Yeah… huh. I hope you are too.

Eric: I haven’t felt this wonderful in a very, very long time. The fact is, I shouldn’t be here.

Donna: With me, you mean?

Eric: What’s crazy is that there’s no place else on this earth I’d rather be.

Donna: Eric, you shouldn’t feel guilty for being happy.

Eric: Oh, I don’t, I– but it’s just not quite as simple as that.

Donna: What’s the point of coming to this fancy health club if you don’t leave feeling better than when you arrived?

Eric: Yeah, but quinn thinks I’m playing pickleball.

Donna: Yeah, well, that’s pretty good for you too.

Eric: It’s not as good for me as spending time with you. When I’m with you, all my troubles just, they just disappear. The fact is though, I’m deceiving my wife.

Quinn: You want to talk to me about eric?

Carter: Yeah, yeah, I know how important he is to you and I know how dedicated and committed you are to your marriage and I just– I– I won’t let anyone interfere with that.

Quinn: Well, that’s a lovely sentiment, carter. But, eric and I are fine. Hey, what’s going on?

Carter: I was just thinking about what happened earlier.

Quinn: You mean when paris put us on notice? Hah, yeah, that girl’s a peach.

Carter: Yeah. And I don’t want it to be an issue, quinn. And I’m– I’m worried it could be.

Steffy: Let me see the other design.

Thomas: Steff, I wanna apologize.

Steffy: No, I– I want to work. Can we please just work? Where are we on the next collection? Like, I– I don’t want it to affect us, the company. And I don’t want to fall behind. We’ve just gotta… you know what we need to do is – what we need, uh– no, dad! I got this, I have this, you don’t have to worry about me.

Ridge: No, hey, what you need to do is take care of yourself and take care of your family. That’s it.

Steffy: Oh my god.

[ Sniffles ] I am trying to stay strong. I am trying to keep going for the kids. But I– I can’t do this. I can’t do any of this without finn. Super emma just about sleeps in her cape.

Donna: You still love quinn.

Eric: I guess a part of me always will. And I thought that would be enough. I really did. I thought– that would be enough for us to, uh, remember everything, the memories that we shared. The moments that we shared.

Donna: You forgave her and you– you took her back.

Eric: Yeah, yeah, I did. I wanted us to rebuild our trust. I wanted us to try to find that part of each other again.

Donna: Oh, eric, we– we don’t– we don’t have to get into all of this.

Eric: I understand if you don’t want to talk about it.

Donna: No, it’s– you don’t have to tell me how you feel, eric, because I can see it. It’s clear as day. And I just wish I could do something about it to help you.

Eric: You do. Every day. It’s so wonderful that I can be so honest with you but I– I don’t think I’m ready to be honest with myself. The affair that– that quinn had with carter, I think it– it ruptured our marriage in a way that I think is irreparable. That’s why I keep coming back to you, over and over again.

Carter: You heard her, quinn. Paris is questioning my feelings for you.

Quinn: It’s ridiculous, carter. Nothing is going on between us. Ah, come on. I’m devoted to eric. I’m– I’m repairing the damage that I’ve done.

Carter: And I support you in that 100%. You and eric, you love each other enough to try again after everything that’s happened.

Quinn: Trying is the operative word. I would be happier if we were succeeding.

Carter: And I want to help you in that. I won’t let paris jeopardize your happiness.

Steffy: Finn and I planned to do this all together. Our kids, our family, that was our future and now he’s– now he’s gone.

Thomas: Steff, you– you’re not alone. Okay? We’re right here. You just have to let us in.

Ridge: He’s right. We’re right here.

Steffy: Yeah, you are. But that doesn’t replace what’s been taken from me, from my children. I have to be everything now.

Ridge: You don’t have to be everything. You just need to be a mom.

Steffy: Finn and i were a team. We made each other better. We made each other stronger.

Ridge: You don’t have to be the rock. Everyone knows you’re grieving.

Steffy: And that’s why– I hate that. I hate that everyone knows. Like they pity me or something. Like, I wanted to come in here and just feel… normal. Not walking around with an empty hole in my chest.

Ridge: You don’t have to do everything, be everything.

Steffy: Dad… uh.

Ridge: We got you, your family’s got you.

Taylor: Hi.

Steffy: Mom?

Taylor: Your father texted me.

Steffy: This is what I mean. Everyone is treating me like I’m broken.

Taylor: Honey, no, you’re not, you’re not broken.

Thomas: Uh, she wants to do this on her own. And– she doesn’t want anybody feeling sorry for her.

Taylor: I understand. I do. Steffy, we all do. But you have suffered a terrible loss.

Steffy: My husband is dead. He was murdered. I never get to see my husband again. I never get to hear his voice. He’s gone.

[ Steffy groaning ]

Li: You will be yourself again, finn. This isn’t how your story ends. If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

[ Waves roaring ]

Donna: Oh, no, no, no. No frowning. No frowning. That is not allowed here in this little oasis.

Eric: This little oasis?

Donna: Yes.

Eric: Well, it’s not the place that I love being in. It’s– it’s being here, with you. That’s what I love.

Donna: That’s what I love too. I mean, no– nobody has ever made me laugh the way that you make me laugh.

Eric: Yeah, well, you bring that out in me.

[ Donna laughing ]

Donna: I missed that so much after I left forrester. I mean, really, even before that. I mean, you were going through so much. You still are.

Eric: But it’s not so overwhelming– when I’m here with you. I mean, look at you, you’re this wonderful, beautiful, vivacious woman. Full of life and– are you sure you want to be doing this? That you want to be doing this with me?

Donna: Nothing about this feels wrong, eric. Or– or sneaky or tricky. I’m– I’m making beautiful new memories with the most fascinating man I’ve ever known. I love you so much, eric. And that’s never going to change.

Quinn: Paris is just asking questions.

Carter: Questions that can cause problems in your marriage.

Quinn: How? We aren’t doing anything wrong!

Carter: It’s about her perception.

Quinn: Oh, come on, she’s seeing things that aren’t even there. She’s young. She’s– she’s inexperienced. She has no idea how complicated relationships can be.

Carter: Exactly. She knows what happened between us and she got it in her head it could happen again, quinn. Aww, we didn’t have these issues when paris and I were together. You were with eric, you were working things out. And paris and I, we were getting to know each other and then maybe, just, uh. I could’ve handled things better, right? I could’ve– I could’ve, and she did ask me to try again.

Quinn: What? Wha– to get back together?

Carter: We do have a lot in common.

Quinn: Wha– wait, is this, is this because of what, of what zende said when he said he would step aside if that’s what she wants? Because I thought you said that this isn’t going to work.

Carter: Yeah, maybe that attitude is why she got the wrong idea about us.

Quinn: I thought you said that paris was just a rebound.

Carter: In the beginning, she was. Yeah, I was trying to get over my feelings for you.

Quinn: B– but, ah, but you got past that now, right? I mean, what are you saying, carter? Are you saying that you, that you changed your mind? That, that you want to be in a, in a, relationship with paris?

Taylor: Honey, you think you have to just push through and– and come to work like you always have.

Steffy: What’s wrong with that?

Taylor: Nothing, it’s all part of the grieving process but you don’t have to–

Steffy: Mom, please don’t be all shrink on me right now.

Thomas: Steff, listen to her. She helped me.

Taylor: You know it’s okay, not to be okay right now. It’s all part of the healing process.

Steffy: I’m never going to heal from this.

Ridge: Yes, you will.

Steffy: How?

Taylor: By doing exactly what you’re doing. You’re talking to us. You’re asking questions. They’re hard questions, but they’re good ones.

[ Steffy sighing ]

Steffy: I’m sorry.

Ridge: Don’t apologize.

Steffy: I’m just so heartbroken, and I’m– I’m worried about the kids. I mean, they’re– they’re okay right now. When we told kelly, she was, like, sad and– and confused, but she’s been there for her brother. And, like, even he doesn’t really understand but he senses that finn’s– finn’s gone. He’s not around.

Taylor: You know, um, hear me out for a second. I— do– do you think maybe a– a different perspective might be good? This is gonna sound weird but what if you took the kids and– and got out of town for a little bit? Life… doesn’t stop for diabetes.

Donna: I love you so much. I– I don’t want to add any more conflict and stress to your life.

Eric: What do you mean? What are you talking about?

Donna: I love to be with you. And I’ll be with you, any way that i can. But, eric, you have to tell me the truth. Do you want this to end? Tell me.

Quinn: Are you saying that you want to go back to paris?

Carter: She wants to be with me, quinn.

Quinn: But do you wanna be with her?

Carter: I should, shouldn’t I? She’s passionate, she’s exciting, she’s available.

Quinn: No, no, no, wait. But you– you’re going to be with someone because that’s what she wants?

Carter: I want that too! I want a relationship, quinn. I want to make something with someone. I mean, look at finn and steffy, their time was cut short, but they were happy. They built something that mattered. I want that too! I keep telling myself to be patient, but what am I waiting for? If I want something real, if I want a real connection, if I want real love, if I want a family, I can have that with paris. Can’t I?

Quinn: I– I don’t know. I don’t even know where this is coming from, carter.

Carter: I’m tired of being stuck. And I need to move on, and I can do that with paris. And that commitment, it will send her a message.

Quinn: What message?

Carter: To stop asking questions about my feelings for you.

Steffy: You want me to take the kids and leave?

Ridge: We just got through telling her how we’d always be there for her.

Thomas: Yeah, and we’re always going to be there for you.

Taylor: Yes, we are.

Steffy: I’m not going anywhere.

Taylor: Okay. But– but what if– what if amelia went with you? And she helped take care of the kids, and then you could–

Steffy: Wait, you just told me to not hide from my emotions, and now you’re telling me to run away?

Taylor: Nah-ah. I don’t look at it like you’re running away. I look at it like you’re moving towards something. Healing. Finding time and space and room to breathe. Sweetheart, so much has happened. And you were shot too. And you haven’t even begun to process that.

Thomas: Right, but shouldn’t she process it with her family around? With a support system?

Taylor: Yes. But– but in this case, I feel like getting away just for a little bit with the kids, you won’t be– you won’t be barraged with visual triggers and painful memories.

Ridge: You know what, that– yeah, that could help.

Steffy: But I don’t want to get away from my memories. They’re part of me. Every time I held finn’s hand or he rubbed my shoulders. I mean– I look in the mirror and I– I remember finn standing behind me. No, no, I can’t– I can’t leave. Li had him cremated. I never even had a chance to say goodbye to him.

[ Machines beeping ]

Li: You can do this. I’m not giving up on you. You will come back to us one day.

Steffy: If only I could see finn one more time. Ughh!

    Texas housewife Laura Day seemed to have it all: a large home on the water, a loving marriage with her husband David Syring, and a close relationship with her 6-year-old stepson, Taylor Syring. But when Taylor drowned on a beach trip with Day under suspicious circumstances, police discovered her shocking criminal past, and the façade of her picture-perfect life quickly came crashing down. A new “20/20,” in collaboration with Plum Pictures, features ABC News anchor John Quiñones’ exclusive interview with Day from prison, nearly a decade after her first-degree capital murder conviction for Taylor’s death.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING,

I have an idea. What, why don’t we have lunch together later? Somewhere near the office. I’m not available. I have an appointment. Are you going to the club again? Yes, I am. Oh, okay. Well, normally I would be disappointed, but. I love how committed you are to exercising and pickle ball and, and you’re still wearing the ring I gave you?

Yes, of course I am. It was a gift from my beautiful, talented wife. Well, I guess I’ll just see you later at the office then. Okay. I love you

Brooke. Hi. Hi Eric. If you’re looking for Rich, she’s not here. I know. I came to speak to. I’m still trying to understand that, you know, you knew what Sheila did to Brooke, but you didn’t tell anyone. I regret keeping that secret look, I didn’t, I did not want to keep Sheila’s secret, but I saw how close you and dad were getting and look, I’m not saying that doesn’t justify anything.

I, I know that you see that. You know, you’ve done such a good job putting your wife back together. I, I would, I would hate to see you. No, no, no. I’m not , I’m not gonna backslide into old Thomas. I know. So, um, have you seen Dad since you moved back into grandpa’s?

You want me as much as I want you, don’t you? What have we done exactly what we’re about to do again and again and again.

Hey, tu, I hope that smile means you’re thinking about Zendaya.

Got a minute. Yeah, yeah, sure. What’s up? I’ve been putting this off. I realize I can’t do that anymore. Okay. Paris told me she’s got a thing for you.

I, uh, didn’t realize you were stopping by. Can we not do this right now? I have a lot of work to do. Well, that won’t be easy. Will it? Daydreaming like you just were Mom, please? Yes. Okay. I would like to think that you are thinking about Zendaya, not Carter. Do, do you ever stop? No, not when it comes to my daughter’s happiness and wellbeing.

A mother never gives. I just don’t want you to make the same mistakes I made and I don’t want you to have to struggle, like I’ve had to struggle. I just want the best for you. Look, as I said many times, Cindy is an amazing guy and I cherish his friendship, but that’s all it can be. As much as you don’t wanna hear it, Carter is the guy I wanna be with.

Paris came to me, she was very honest about her feelings, and now I wanna be honest about mine. Go ahead. I thought I still had a chance with Baris that she would come around and things would work out between us, but that’s not happening anymore because she’s interested in you. Something that I’m sure you’re aware of.

Now, let me finish. I suppose that I could make things very awkward for both of us. I could make things really awkward for all three of us. But I’m not gonna do that. If you want to pursue things with Paris, go ahead.

I appreciate what you’re doing. You’re putting your feelings aside. But the reality is zk, I can’t be with Paris no matter what. She might feel. I don’t understand. Why do you say that you can’t be with Paris? Is there another woman in your.

Yeah, I’d hate to think of dad going back to Burke for the hundredth time. I’d be so much happier with you. You know that right? Thomas? I, I do not need you or stuffy trying to get me back together with your father. Okay. Especially not the links you went to. You’re right. Never should have done that. And I’m.

You know, you can always talk to your father and me, right? Yeah, I do. Okay. Cheers. Cheers. I waited outside till Quinn left. I hope that’s okay, . Of course it is. You’re always welcome here. You know that well, thank you. Yeah. You’re always my biggest supporter, especially when it comes to Ridge and my relationship with him.

That’s why I’m here. I need your help with Ridge.

Your father isn’t halfway across the world, he’s just over at Eric’s. Yeah. Think about what he wants to do next in his life, whether he wants to stay in his marriage to Brooke and all of the drama that that will invariably always bring, or he could, you know, be with you. Someone who actually brings peace and joy and love into his life.

Mm. Good old St. Taylor. You can’t just sit back, go to granddad’s. Yeah. See, dad, we’re talking about your future and dad’s okay. You can’t let Brooke dictate how this is gonna go. Don’t let her win, mom. Not this time.

Look, mom, just please accept the fact that Zendaya and I are not meant to be. If you just give you two. A chance I did. I tried Try again. Don’t give up on a good man like Zendaya Carter. He’s a good man too. Honey. How can you say that he cheated on your sister? Honey, when people show you who they are, believe them.

Mom. Do not get in the middle of this. You’re supposed to care about. And what I want and what I want is Carter, and I’m gonna have him too.

Are you seeing someone else? There’s no one. And what’s the deal? Obviously Paris is really into you. I can’t say I’m happy about it, but. I want her to be, so if it’s you, go for it. Carter.

Sorry, ZedE didn’t mean to interrupt. It’s okay. This is all yours.

Wow. Zend is giving you permission. Hmm. Yeah, and I told him I can’t be with Paris. It would never work feeling the way I do. Brooke, I’m so sorry for what you’ve been through. I mean, it was all so diabolical, even for Sheila, and if it weren’t for Sheila, I really believe that I would still be with Rich. I don’t disagree.

Big question is, what are you gonna do? Now, I don’t mean to put you on the spot, Eric. I don’t. It’s just that all that time that he spent over at Step’s with Taylor, I just feel that now he needs to be with me and how else are we gonna work through all these things unless he comes home. So it’s Time Ridge needs to come home to his wife where he belongs instead of being here with Quinn and me.

Whoa. Yeah. I mean, I, I know he said that he wanted his space and time to figure things out, but, but you think you know better, right? Is that why you’re pleading your case with Eric? Hi, Eric. You’re trying to enlist him and convincing Ridge to move back home with. That’s what you’re doing, isn’t it, Brooke?

I gotta say, I didn’t expect that. I mean, I know Zenday is a class act, but to give up so easily, Zendaya still has feelings for Pariss, and he’s putting her happiness and what she wants over what he wants. But what she wants is you. Yeah, but that’s not in the cars. Okay. Well then the question remains, did she hear you or is Paris still on the brow?

You don’t like it very much, do you? For all the obvious, very good reasons. You already know some, I don’t know. So how are you and Eric. . We’re good. We’re good. I wanted to have lunch with him today, but you know, he is off to the club again. Mm-hmm. . And he doesn’t know about the, uh, the special ring you designed that tracks his health and stuff?

Nope. Nope. I wanna keep it a secret. I don’t want him to think that I’m worried about him, but you are worried. I know that he’s in great shape for a man his age, but, you know, I just want. Stay that way. I want him to be fit and healthy and happy. How can Eric not be happy? Hear everything a man could want.

Quinn in so much more.

Ladies, there’s no reason for things to get contentious. No. And they won’t. As long as we give rich the space that he needs and allow him to decide what his future holds. We You mean me? Uhhuh. ? Yeah. Cuz you’ve never been one to leave things to chance, Brooke. And you’ve never been shy about asking Eric for help when it comes to you and Ridge.

You know, maybe you think that if you can get Eric to help you gang up on Ridge, then nah, wait. , Taylor, Brooke, you both come over here where Ridge is staying and you both have an agenda where Ridge is concerned, in fact, yes. So do I, truth be told, but I’m not gonna take sides here. Okay. Okay. Well that’s good.

But Brooke would really appreciate it if you would. All right. I have to get, I have to get to the gym. Oh, all right. Um, play nice. Of course. Okay. Play nice. I will,

I see what you’re doing. You’re, you’re putting Eric in the middle. Oh, come on. If Stephanie were still alive, you would have her pleading your case with Rich. I don’t know. She wanted you there with her in her final moments. . Look, I don’t need anyone to plead my case. Brooke Ridge knows how I feel about him, and he knows the life that he can have with me if that’s what he chooses.

But again, no one should pressure him. Not me, not you, not anyone. Nobody is pressuring him unless of course, it’s your two grown children who have been pushing their parents together ever since you arrived back in la Regardless. None of this changes the fact that Rich and I are still married, and I don’t think I need to remind you of that.

Or maybe I do.

I sense I’m interrupting a private moment. Pierce, why would you say that? , are you saying I’m not, I’m saying that you’re insinuating something is going on between me and Carter. Oh, there’s no need to get defensive. No, no, no, no, no. I’m not getting defensive. Carter and I are friends. We’re coworkers. Nothing more.

That wasn’t always the case. If anyone should know I’d, I’d pee. I’d be the one. Yeah. You are the one who went. Blabbed to Brooke about my affair with Carter, and then made sure everyone found out about it at my vow renewal ceremony. I didn’t blab to, you don’t need to justify Paris. I haven’t forgotten what you did.

I just, I just can’t help but wonder behind closed doors with you two. Is there something still going on? Wonder that closed door? You mean the one that you. Walkthrough that wasn’t locked and found me and my coworker having a conversation. Yeah. Wow. Scandalous. Talk about scandalous. That’s something you know a lot about, huh?

Quinn. Scandal. Betrayal. Ah, poor Eric. He would never be unfaithful to you. Wow. You should be careful Paris. You are an employee here. Maybe you’re valued to some people, but it doesn’t give you the right to get yourself involved in things that are not of your concern, especially where the boss’s wife is concerned.

I love my husband. We’re happily married and what happened between me and Carter’s in the past, and that’s where it’s gonna stay. Do you get it? Oh, I. I hear you loud and clear. I just hope you’re telling the truth. Both of you.

You don’t need to remind me that ridge is married to you, although I know you like to. I’m not lording it over you, if that’s what you think. , it’s just that the role that Sheila played. in my drinking and turning to Deacon, right? That ridge never would’ve walked out on you. He never would’ve come to live with me and Stephy, yada yada.

I know, I know. That’s what you think. I thought that’s what you thought too, unless you weren’t being sincere. Last time we spoke, Brooke, I was being 100% sincere. What Sheila did to you was awful, but. . You know what? Let’s just thank God she’s behind bars where she belongs. That was, it’s awful. She upended my life, all of our lives, especially Steffy and fins.

But if she didn’t do what she did, rich and I would still be living together. Happily. Brooke, Sheila was merely a catalyst in your separation. Okay. I do take responsibility. I let ranch down. Mm-hmm. , I let myself down. I let our marriage. . Yes. Yes. I’m, I’m glad you see that. Yes, I do. Mm-hmm. and I have owned up to it.

But because of the extenuating circumstances, you think that everything should go back to the way that it was before that ridge should come home to you. That I should just go away. It’s not gonna happen. Ridge knows how I feel about him. He knows I love him. I’ll always love him. You’re talking about my husband?

Yeah. And he hasn’t come back to you? He hasn’t come back. He’s taking time to figure out what he wants for his future. I don’t know. Maybe it’s happiness and stability. Maybe that’s what he wants. I think I can provide that for him and I can’t, I suppose. Well, okay, maybe you can provide stability and predictability, but you know what?

He’ll never really love you because what Rich wants, what Rich craves is passion. He is an artist and I understand that side of him completely, and our love and our life and our passion will survive. Ridge will come home to me. He will come back to his wife.

Jack: Just to be very clear, I want this to happen, too, very much.

Phyllis: Okay.

Jack: But I also think we should take it day-to-day and try to just stay in sync.

Phyllis: Well, if you have any doubt about my feelings, maybe we should talk about that. You know, maybe we should, you know, get in sync right now, if you have the time.

Jack: Oh, I could make the time.

Phyllis: Okay.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Sighs ]

Jack: It’s kyle. Hold on.

Phyllis: Oh.

Jack: He wants to meet.

Phyllis: Oh. Alright, well, another time.

Jack: Count on it.

Phyllis: Alright. Does kyle want to talk about business or diane?

Jack: Not sure.

Phyllis: Mm. Well, I hope he comes to his senses real soon. I’m not sure if that’s gonna happen now that diane has made it clear that her staying in town is a really great idea.

Jack: It’s gonna be between the two of them.

Phyllis: Okay, well, I’m worried about him. I’m worried, you know, if he goes down this path with diane, he’s going to get hurt. I don’t want to see him hurt. Do you want to see him hurt?

Jack: No.

Phyllis: I know you want to protect him.

Jack: Of course I do.

Phyllis: Good.

Jack: And I’ve made my feelings very clear to him. But I don’t think it would be helpful for me to try to influence him one way or the other. So I’m not going to.

Phyllis: Well, I know you’re not going to. But someone has to.

Summer: Oh. Hey. I am so glad that I ran into you. I told chelsea, but I haven’t gotten a chance to tell you how amazing mariah and tessa’s wedding dresses were.

Chloe: Thank you. Though chelsea should get most of the credit. But, you know, I do consider myself, you know, a genius whisperer.

Summer: [ Chuckles ] It’s an important skill to have when you work in fashion.

Chloe: I know, right? I mean, but they really need people like you and me to keep their, you know, creative juices flowing.

Summer: It’s my top priority as creative director at marchetti. Artists can be a handful.

Chloe: Yeah, I know what you’re saying. But, you know, it’s kind of worth it. Well, most of the time.

Chelsea: Is everything okay with you and chelsea?

Chloe: Mm, yes, could not be better. In fact, I’ve really got to get going. I’m late for a meeting with her.

Summer: It was great to talk to you.

Chloe: You too. Talk soon.

Adam: Well, one of the worst things about victoria returning to work and nikki being installed as co-ceo is that the streaming deal that I pitched to dad has completely gone by the wayside. He and nikki are too focused on propping up their little girl that they have let business suffer. It’s a huge missed opportunity.

Sally: Well, maybe there’s a way that newman media can salvage at least part of the project.

Adam: Well, what did you have in mind?

Sally: Well, instead of creating a giant streamer, like we planned, to compete with the big guys, we execute a more surgical strike. We launch a niche platform targeted towards a very particular demographic, and we do that specific content better than the big guys and we build an audience that way.

Adam: That could be interesting. I like that you’re always thinking.

Sally: You keep up okay. I know that you’re frustrated that our plan to reunite victoria and ashland has been put on hold while victoria’s off on her little spa holiday with nikki, but it is just temporary.

Chelsea: I can’t believe you’re not here and you’re not answering your phone. Chloe, I waited outside for 20 minutes. This meeting was on the schedule, and what’s worse is i got a call this morning that the fabric delivery is gonna be late. So we need to figure out what to do. Okay? Call me.

Adam: Is everything alright?

Diane: Aww, it is so fun watching harrison play in the backyard. And he’s really good with other kids.

Kyle: Yeah, he’s a social little guy. He’s been great at making friends in italy, but I can tell he misses some of his buddies from when we used to live here. Which is why I invited max and his mom over for a playdate.

Diane: Well, max is pretty cute, too.

Kyle: And his mom is great. She’ll keep them entertained in the back for a while. It’s nice to have someone around you can trust with your kid.

Diane: Yeah, trust — trust is important, for sure.

Kyle: Hey, thanks for not pushing things with harrison. I know we haven’t talked about it directly — what you will be to him — but to be honest, I’m not sure.

Diane: It’s okay. We have time to figure it out. All harrison needs to know right now is that I want to spend more time with him and his father. And we’ll just take it from there.

Kyle: Sounds good.

Diane: Yeah.

Kyle: Thanks.

Diane: I will take my cues from you and go whatever pace you’re comfortable with.

Jack: Hello, everyone. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised to find you here.

Diane: Well, in case you’re wondering, I didn’t barge in, i was invited.

Kyle: That’s true. There’s something I want to talk to you about. My mother will be staying in town for a little while longer.

Diane: I’m guessing he’s already heard that news.

Phyllis: Oh, I love this. I love that I can just call you and meet for coffee.

Summer: It’s so nice, isn’t it?

Phyllis: It is. You know what’s so funny? Jack got a text from kyle to meet him at the house.

Summer: Ah, I see.

Phyllis: You see what?

Summer: That’s the real reason you wanted to meet.

Phyllis: I have no idea what you mean.

Summer: Kyle told me that you overheard his conversation with diane, so you know that she’s staying in town. He said that you looked pretty upset about it.

Phyllis: Did he? Oh. Yeah, well, I mean, that whole thing was surprising.

Summer: And?

Phyllis: And what? Nothing.

Summer: I know that that’s not everything you want to say, so just go ahead and get it out.

Phyllis: Okay, I’ll get it out. I’m impressed with you, that you’re just sitting back and allowing kyle to go through all the pain and suffering of realizing that his mother is the worst human being on the planet. It’s very patient and mature of you.

Summer: That’s it?

Phyllis: Yeah, yeah. And, you know, it’s so funny ’cause jack is taking the same stance. He doesn’t want to influence kyle. He wants him, you know, to realize for himself that his mother will only cause him a bunch of pain and — and, you know, he just wants to stand back and do nothing.

Summer: So what — what’s your point?

Phyllis: My point is do something. Do something about it, summer. Really. Can you please convince your husband to put his wife and his family first and get this woman out of town? Who do you think you are, taking up space?

Chelsea: Everything’s great. I just seem to have terrible timing today.

Adam: Well, I hope it all gets straightened out. We just wanted to make sure you were alright.

Chelsea: Although I’m sure some people would love for something to be wrong with me.

Sally: You know what? I am getting sick and tired of the baseless accusations that you continually sling my way.

Chelsea: Oh, well, you expect me to believe that you actually care about my wellbeing?

Adam: Nobody’s wishing harm on you, chelsea. Not sally, not me.

Chelsea: Well, she’s not gonna say it out loud. Sally’s too smart for that, especially in front of the man who handed her a corporate desk job where she can stand in judgment over all the people doing the hard work, actually creating something day in, day out.

Sally: Excuse me, my role is very creative.

Adam: Sally, sally. Where is this coming from?

Chloe: Hey, guys. Sorry, I just — you know, phone died. My fault.

Jack: Yes, phyllis did fill me in on the conversation she overheard.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Of course she did.

Kyle: Yeah, my mother and i talked about it, and I asked her to stay for a while, so i offered to put her up at another hotel.

Jack: When I got your text, i assumed we would be talking about your relationship with your mother and how it might look moving forward.

Diane: Meaning you’d like me to leave so you can say how you really feel?

Jack: You can trust me. I have been very careful in my conversations with kyle about you. Careful not to influence him in any way, and I would appreciate the same courtesy from you.

Diane: I believe you, but phyllis, on the other hand, has made her motives crystal clear. She kicked me out of the grand phoenix, hoping I’d leave town. I assume that’s what you were hoping, too.

Jack: Phyllis acted completely on her own.

Diane: I — I apologize. I — I just figured you were in on it.

Jack: Well, if this is the way you want to move forward, fine. I would just counsel you one thing — be careful. There’s no turning back from this.

Summer: Grandpa already gave me the exact same speech about how to handle diane. But that’s just not the way that kyle and I work. I mean, I don’t know what you guys expect me to do. Issue him an ultimatum? ‘Cause that’s not gonna happen.

Phyllis: No, I’m not saying that. He respects you. Kyle listens to you. You say hanging around with diane is a mistake, and he will listen.

Summer: I don’t trust diane either, but I’m not entirely certain that him getting to know her again, the person that she is now, is such a bad idea. I mean, I know firsthand how important it is to have your mother in your life. When you were in the hospital for all of those years and i wasn’t sure if you were gonna regain consciousness, I felt so lost.

Phyllis: Okay, okay. That wasn’t my fault. I would’ve never decided to be separated from you, summer. No good mother, no decent human being in the world would choose to be separated from their son and make their son believe that they are dead.

Summer: All I am saying is that some old wounds can be healed. I mean, take dina and jack, for example. After they reunited after all of that time, and that time that he had with her ended up being so precious to him.

Phyllis: Listen to your defense of diane. This is amazing. And every scenario you’re coming up with to defend diane is about somebody else. What she did was inexcusable.

Summer: But you supported jack in reconnecting with dina, did you not?

Phyllis: Yes, that’s completely different, summer.

Summer: How is it different?

Phyllis: I’ll explain to you. Dina was at the end of her days. She couldn’t have hurt jack any more than she already had. Diane, on the other hand, is in the prime of her miserable life. Come on. Kyle is so emotional about this. He’s fixated on what could’ve been and what — what maybe she could be and what he wants her to be. It’s blinding him to see who she really is.

Summer: Okay, let’s just say you are 100% right about diane. What’s the worst that she could do? I mean, kyle is an adult. It’s not like she can move him away from the abbotts.

Phyllis: Okay, she would not remove him physically. She would do it emotionally.

Summer: How would she do that?

Phyllis: Here’s one — ashley. By the way, ashley is the only person in the abbott clan who’s not going along with this, you know, neutral, phony stance. Thank god. But ashley, she says something bad about diane, kyle sides with diane, there it is. There’s a rift in the family.

Summer: That’s all you’ve got. One hypothetical scenario.

Phyllis: Okay, summer, let me tell you something. Your husband will be dragged into defending this woman time and time again. That will separate him from this entire town. There is a reason why no one wants her here. There is a reason why everyone hates diane.

Summer: [ Sighs ] I’m starting to think that this is not so much about your concern for kyle, and it’s more about you and your hatred for diane. Pre-rinsing your dishes?

Diane: One thing you and everyone else may be overlooking is that all this opposition might backfire. Instead of driving a wedge between kyle and me, we could end up feeling ganged up on.

Jack: Is that your way of telling us when you feel your back is against the wall, that you tend to lash out?

Diane: No, jack, it’s just a suggestion that you ease up. As for the substance of your concerns, that I’m not being truthful, you are thoroughly mistaken. I have been nothing but open and honest with kyle, as I feel he’s been with me. And that’s the only way we’re going to have a meaningful relationship, which is the sole reason I’m staying.

Kyle: Yeah, maybe you’d like to settle in at the club. Your bags are there, and your tab is set up.

Diane: You know what? That sounds wonderful. In fact, I think I’d like to spend a little time in the gym on the bike.

[ Chuckles ] Thank you for letting me visit with harrison. I’ll — I’ll see you soon. Oh, I just had a thought. Maybe harrison can call me “dee-dee”? It’s easy to say, and it doesn’t have to mean anything significant.

Kyle: I like it. A lot.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Okay.

Phyllis: I’ll own that, sure. I hate diane. I hate her. Nobody’s here, okay? Don’t worry. But by the way, virtually everyone else in town hates her, too.

Summer: That’s not exactly true. Kyle doesn’t hate diane, and he is the one that matters here.

Phyllis: Okay. Your husband is really smart. I believe that. And I believe that he is still trying to deal with all his feelings of, you know, his mother coming back from the dead and all the feelings he had losing her when he was a little boy. I believe that. And he has a million “what ifs” going on in — in his head.

Summer: Yeah, and my hope is that more time with her is gonna answer all of his questions.

Phyllis: I know diane. And I know she’s been plotting and planning this for a really, really long time. She is capitalizing on his emotions. She is manipulating him. Please do not underestimate what she will do to your husband. Please, please do not underestimate what she will do to your marriage.

Summer: Diane is not going to affect my marriage. Make no mistake about that. I will make sure of it. But [Sighs] For kyle’s sake, I have to stand back and let this play out.

Phyllis: I don’t think you’re doing the right thing.

Summer: Mom, this is my husband. You’re not gonna change my position on this, okay?

Phyllis: Okay. I have nothing more to say.

Summer: [ Sighs ] Okay. We’re not through. I have something important that I want to discuss with you.

Chloe: Um, yeah, kevin and i got our signals crossed about picking up miles for a playdate, and then my phone died. And I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean to leave you hanging.

Chelsea: Yeah, well, luckily, these two wasted a little bit of my time while I was waiting.

Sally: Some might say you wasted ours.

Chloe: Okay, well, we have a lot of work to get to, so let’s get right to it.

Adam: She is so on edge.

Sally: You think? Geez. I know I probably shouldn’t have gotten into it with her, but i just cannot let anyone talk to me like that.

Adam: No, I — I know.

Sally: I wonder if they’re having trouble with the new fashion line or something.

Adam: Well, I actually hope that it’s work-related. ‘Cause her mood and her reaction to you, whatever else is going on, I’ve seen this before. It’s a sign of something that i worry that is much deeper than just a bad day at the office. Entresto is the number one heart failure brand

Chelsea: Our fabric delivery is gonna be two weeks late.

Chloe: That shouldn’t affect our delivery date because i built in some wiggle room into the schedule to account for things just like this.

Chelsea: I’m sick of suffering the consequences for other people’s mistakes.

Chloe: Okay, so how about i just give them a call and see if I can negotiate a discount?

Chelsea: That’s not the point.

Chloe: Um, are you okay? Because if you can’t handle this, I can handle the details if you don’t have the bandwidth.

Chelsea: No, I’m fine. I just — if I seem on edge, i just — I haven’t been sleeping well.

[ Sighs ] Every time I try to go to bed, my mind just spins and I can’t seem to make it stop.

Chloe: And that’s totally normal. And as the fashion line gets closer to becoming a reality, I’m sure all of the ideas are going to start flowing faster. Look, you are the creative genius half of our partnership, so let me deal with the details and you focus on what you do best.

Chelsea: There’s just been a lot going on. I mean, we thought we had a stable home for the line until victoria decided to drop us for no reason.

Chloe: Yeah, but I — I think that we found a new home and i think that that situation with lauren is so much better.

Chelsea: Do you know I heard victoria is on some european spa vacation? A man is dead because of her, yet she needs champagne and macaroons? It makes me sick.

Jack: Diane is still diane, kyle. What she just did is a perfect example. She framed the whole thing as the two of you against the world, thereby minimizing the justifiable concerns of people she’s hurt, people who are understandably wary, have about her. Look, I promised you I would support you in whatever decision you made about your mother, but I can’t turn a blind eye to what she’s doing. Insinuating herself in your life, taking liberties that —

Kyle: I agree. But she is still my mom. And we were a team for most of my childhood, until we weren’T. Look, I believe her when she says she was broken back then. She was desperate and she did some things she’s ashamed of but fully intends to do better.

Jack: Kyle, I thought this was going to be a trial period, where you spend some time with her, get to know her better before you let her all the way into your life. It sounds like you’ve already done that. It’s already happened.

Kyle: I just wish you and the rest of the family would take a deep breath and keep an open mind. If I have seen enough to be willing to give her this opening, why can’t you? Look, obviously, I can’t force you to, but I’m hoping you will at least try. For my sake.

Jack: I will do my very best.

Kyle: Thank you.

Jack: The good thing in all of this is it sounds like you’re gonna be sticking around for a while.

Kyle: That’s what I want to talk to you about. Summer and I are thinking about moving back to genoa city with harrison.

Jack: Really? That would be — wait, wait, what about summer’s career? What a– would she have to leave marchetti?

Kyle: There may be a way to do it without summer having to give up anything.

Summer: Marchetti is in trouble.

Phyllis: How?

Summer: Angelina is burning out. She assembled an entire team of junior designers so that nobody could challenge her, and I just found out that the company is dangerously overextended financially.

Phyllis: I can’t believe that they’re not doing well.

Summer: Yeah, it was a huge shock to me, as well. But then I realized…

Kyle: This is an opportunity. A fashion house with the kind of cachet and brand recognition marchetti brings to the table. The place needs new leadership and a solid financial plan for the future, but…jabot can give that to them.

Jack: Wait, you want jabot to buy marchetti?

Frank is a fan of fast.

He’s a fast talker.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Kyle: I have done the preliminary analysis, crunched the numbers. Marchetti does have a lot of debt, but a substantial amount of liquidity, which would provide us a significant boost in tax benefits. Look, you and I both know a deal like this hinges on more than just the financials, but the intangibles, and we have someone who knows every facet of the company, who’s passionate about keeping the vision alive while looking to the future. Summer’s ready to take this on.

Jack: You know I would love to have your family back here. I have missed the three of you like crazy, and I would love to work side-by-side with you again. But from a business standpoint, this gets complicated pretty fast. We made a conscious decision not long ago to step away from fashion and focus on our core business — cosmetics, the thing we built our company on. This would be a complete about-face.

Kyle: I get that. But this reminds me of something that you taught me — always be prepared when a big opportunity presents itself.

Jack: Believe me, I’m intrigued. I do have to ask one thing. How much does diane’s return factor into this decision?

Kyle: Honestly, not at all.

Phyllis: That’s an amazing idea.

Summer: If we were to bring marchetti into jabot’s fold, we would need an injection of creative talent, but jabot could provide the capital needed to get it out from this financial mess.

Phyllis: Summer, this is incredible for you. I mean, saving, essentially, the company that you’ve loved for so long and building its future, and then kyle can — he could do the deal for jabot since he’s living in milan.

Summer: That’s the best part. If we do this, we want to bring marchetti’s operations to genoa city.

Phyllis: Wait, does that — what does that mean?

Summer: It means that kyle, harrison, and I would be moving back here full time.

Phyllis: Oh, my gosh. Really? Wow! I mean, you know there’s nothing more that I would like than to have you by my side here all the time. I-I-I have one issue.

Chloe: I don’t think there’s anything wrong with victoria taking a trip. Frankly, I would love to get away. Between the stress of the new line and the kids, I could really use a break. You know, why don’t I get kevin on dad duty and you and I slip away for a quick trip to new york?

Chelsea: Just stop.

Chloe: What? It would be so fun. Come on, we could use it as an excuse for research for the new collection, and then we can get plenty of spa time in.

Chelsea: I don’t think so.

Chloe: Why not?

Chelsea: Because I don’t want a girls’ trip. And I don’t need you babysitting me.

Chloe: Okay, I think you misunderstood me. I — I wasn’t talking about babysitting you.

Chelsea: No, I think you were. I think you were patronizing me. And now you’re just flat-out lying to me, chloe. I’m not stupid.

Chloe: [ Sighs ] Okay. Um…[ Clears throat ] Excuse me.

[ Speaks indistinctly ]

Adam: How long has she been like this, chloe?

Chloe: [ Sighs ]

[ Knock on door ]

Diane: [ Chuckles ] What a nice surprise. Whenever I answer my door lately, I’m braced for an onslaught. I’m glad it’s you.

Jack: Not sure you’re gonna feel that way after you hear what I have to say. The world is full of make or break moments.

Adam: Are you worried about chelsea’s mental state?

Chloe: What? I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Adam: What do you — she just blew up at you and she stormed out of here.

Chloe: What are you talking about? I — look, you have no context to whatever accusations you’re making.

Adam: Okay. You don’t have to talk to me like I’m the enemy, okay? I’ve lived through this with her, and I know what the signs are. I share a son with her. I am concerned, and I’m asking for connor’s sake, because this could affect our son. I just want to make sure that my son is okay.

Chloe: Chelsea is a great mom. No matter what else is going on, you do not have to worry about connor.

Adam: Okay, so something is wrong.

Chloe: [ Sighs ] I think that rey’s death has really affected her. And she has invested more time into their friendship than she would like to admit. And then he was suddenly ripped out of her life.

Adam: Well, I know how much she and connor were affected by that, but my son seems to be coming to terms with that, so i didn’t realize that chelsea was still struggling or how much rey meant to her.

Chloe: I think that his forgiveness gave her the courage to come back to town, face everyone, and move forward.

Adam: So is losing him going to set her back?

Chloe: She’s rattled. There is nothing for you to worry about. I think she’s just a little angry at the world right now.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Ugh!

Kyle: Chelsea. Are you okay?

Chelsea: Hey. Yeah, yeah, I’m fine. I’m just —

[ Sighs ] I’m just dealing with some issues at work. You know how it is.

Kyle: I do. Are you sure nothing’s wrong?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] You know, everyone keeps asking me that today.

[ Chuckles ] Maybe chloe was right. Maybe — maybe I do need a spa day.

Kyle: Or you could just tell me what’s really going on.

Summer: Diane has nothing to do with this, I promise you. Kyle enjoyed living in milan, but I was the driving force for us being there. It was my dream opportunity, and he went along with it because he is a loving and supportive partner, but I’ve come to realize that there was a lot that I was missing living so far away. Like getting to talk to you whenever I needed. And not on video chat.

Phyllis: Yeah. That’s a good answer. I’m just really scared to wrap my head around all of this, that’s all. I missed you so much. I missed you so much, summer. I don’t ever want to let you go, okay?

Summer: That’s okay with me.

Phyllis: Okay. [ Chuckles ]

Jack: I need to be clear with you about something. I have decided to support kyle’s decision to let you back into his life. Hoping with everything in me that you are the changed woman you claim to be. Because your absence left a void in his life, one I want my son to fill with love and kindness and nurturing commitment and connection that he has been missing from the mother he thought he lost.

Diane: Thank you.

Jack: If it turns out that you are lying, if it turns out that you have some secret ulterior motive, I swear, diane, I will make you regret ever coming back here.

Diane: Jack…I give you my solemn word that I will never hurt our son again. And if I did, you would have every right to bring hell raining down on me, and I’m — I’m sure there are a lot of people in this town who would be eager to join you.

Jack: I think we both know phyllis would be at the top of that list.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Yes, but that being said, I — i can’t keep tying myself up in knots all the time, worrying about what people think. My goal is to rebuild my relationship with kyle and enjoy the company of my grandson. And in the process, I hope you’ll see I am sincere and maybe even someone that you could trust eventually. Jack, if you could accept that kyle and I might be good for each other, I think it would ease your mind and it might even bring you some happiness. Because I know all too well what it feels like to be lonely and uncertain about your life.

Jack: I don’t know where that came from. My life is in a good place, professionally and personally.

Diane: Then this is a case where I’m glad I’m wrong.

Jack: Well, I — I said what I came to say. My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis…

Sally: So did chloe give you any more insight on what’s going on with chelsea?

Adam: Apparently, chelsea had grown more attached to rey than anyone realized.

Sally: Huh. I — I still find it remarkable that he was able to forgive her for poisoning him, and then on top of that, actually become her friend. I think that says a lot about the kind of guy that rey was, and I guess it makes sense that losing him so suddenly and tragically would hit her so hard.

Adam: Well, maybe that’s all it is. I hope so. Anyway, we have our own issues to discuss.

Sally: So we are back to business?

Adam: Mm-hmm, yes, there’s still a power vacuum that i haven’t been able to take advantage of, and my idea to distract victor from running ashland out of town did not work out like I hoped. Mm-hmm.

Sally: Your mind is still on chelsea.

Adam: Just I get the feeling that whatever’s going on with her is more than just grieving a friend.

Chelsea: Thank you for checking on me. I appreciate it. But really, I’m — I’m fine. I just, um… I overreacted about something at work, that’s all. My career is really important to me, and sometimes I take things too personally when I should just let them go. I suppose I should also learn not to stress-cry in public places.

Kyle: It happens to the best of us.

Chelsea: Oh, really? You stress-cry?

Kyle: I may have teared up once or twice.

Chelsea: I don’t believe you.

Kyle: I always made it to someplace private first.

Chelsea: Well, good for you.

Kyle: Mm.

Chelsea: Well, thank you for the kind words.

Kyle: Do you need anything?

Chelsea: No, I’m good.

Kyle: Okay. Say it one more time like you mean it, and then I’ll go.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] I’m better now, I swear.

Kyle: Okay. I’m going.

Phyllis: Hey.

Jack: Hey, there.

Phyllis: How was your meeting with kyle?

Jack: It was okay.

Phyllis: Oh.

Jack: Summer maybe fill you in already?

Phyllis: She did. You’re talking about buying marchetti and bringing it to genoa city, yeah. She — she told me. Oh, it’s amazing.

Jack: What do you really think?

Phyllis: Well, I really think it’s great. I do. I mean, I’m over the moon with the thought of my daughter being close to me again. It’s coincidental.

Jack: You’re not at all worried, then, that diane will see this as a reason to say.

Phyllis: Well, that won’t happen. That can’t happen.

Jack: Well, I hope not. But I should tell you, when i got there to see my son, you’ll never guess who was there, visiting harrison, acting like she belonged there, like she was already part of the family. She even had a nickname that harrison could call her.

Phyllis: No.

Jack: Dee-dee.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Diane went away once. She needs to go away again.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Things are going better than i thought. You’re going to be spending lots of time with your dee-dee.

[ Chuckles ]

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Phyllis: Do you really think that I would plan us getting off of the elevator when diane arrived at the hotel?

Jack: I just don’t get it. Are you trying to impress her? You making your territory?

Ashland: I just hope you know how sorry I am about rey.

Sharon: Whatever it is that you were about to say, you can save it. I actually have a few things that I want to say to you.

Victor: I want you to talk to kyle, ask him to restrict home visitation rights between harrison and ashland locke. I want to sever all ties completely.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

(missing first 6 minutes-we’ll have to run it again)

Where is all of this coming from? You and spencer have always been thick as thieves. What can I say? Times change. People change. Meaning? Meaning… your son came here asking for a favor, just like you are. When he didn’t get what he wanted, he retaliated by saying some incredibly unkind things to me. Bang-up job you’re doing, raising that one. Yes. I’ve made a lot of mistakes with spencer.

[ Scoffs ] I mean, this might be a wild guess, but the whole “pretending to be dead” thing might have really messed him up a little. Not that either of you have any excuse for your entitled behavior. So you know what, mr. Cassadine? You can shove that big, fat donation up — is there a problem here? Let me get this round. If you’ll allow. Oh, yes, of course. Thank you, uncle victor. I had no idea you were back in town. Yes. My, uh, business overseas has been concluded. You missed a lot while you were gone. Then you must catch me up. Well, for starters, they found luke spencer’s killer. I imagine that’s quite a weight off your shoulders. Ah. Thanks for checking in. Alas, I am far from okay, but I’m managing. Some days, managing counts as a win. Exactly. I-I keep trying to tell myself that this title ix report is just that — a report. It’s not like a-a ruling in the court of law. Yeah, all this title ix stuff is a little new to me. Oh. You never had your university investigate you for a misconduct? No, but that’s probably because I didn’t go. Oh! Oh, my god. Um… foot, meet mouth. Hey, it was my choice. After I saw how much debt had to be taken on, I realized that there were other, better ways to achieve the life I wanted. So I started taking classes to try and figure out how to get from where I was to where I wanted to be, you know, find a passion. But nothing really spoke to me until one day, I saw the pcpd doing an outreach program, and, well, that did speak to me. I realized I could make a difference, maybe help right some wrongs. Right. And how’s that working out for you so far? Well, I’m still pretty new, but the first wrong I plan on righting is what’s happening to you. I can’t believe ava finally convinced your father to kick us out. No one is kicking us out. In fact, ava agreed to give me an allowance from my trust fund. What’s the catch? No catch. I get $10,000 a week. Really? Although we do have to move out. But, spence, uh — this place has just been so stifling, hasn’t it? Almost as much as ava’s stranglehold on my purse strings, but now you and I are both going to be free from both my father and ava, which is exactly what we’ve always wanted. Right? You’re early. I just need a few minutes, and then lunch at kelly’S. Yeah. Take as much time as you need. Are you okay, chet? You seem preoccupied. Yeah. No, it’s, uh — something sort of crazy just happened. Recruiter for the veterans hospital called this morning. They’re looking for somebody to be the director of their mental health outreach. I remember that one. You showed me the job listing a couple weeks ago, right? Yeah. But I was pretty sure I wasn’t qualified for that position. Stop doubting yourself. You worked as a medic. You volunteer. I’m sure you’d be perfect. And I’m proud of you for applying. That’s the thing. I didn’t apply. Somebody submitted my info to the recruiter. Two years ago, I was on a bridge. It collapsed. I suffered head trauma. I — I lost my memory. I was carried downriver to a small town named nixon falls. I was there a few months. Nina found me. And she knew that I had been missing and that I was presumed dead. She didn’t tell anyone that I was alive. So your son, michael, and his girlfriend, willow, the parents of wiley, they believe that nina is responsible for keeping you from your family. Nina… was responsible. But she, uh — she wasn’t the only one. Well, who else? I was.


Somebody applied for you?How would that even work? Well, the hospital goes through a recruiter who reached out to me. I just don’t know how the recruiter got my info. Maybe it was someone you served with or something you helped. A lot of people love you, chet. Well, I wouldn’t go that far. But the guys I served with were close. Maybe it was one of them. I don’t think they’d do this without telling me. Right. Well, we may never know, but let’s focus on the now. Did you get the job or not? I did. Ahh! That’s wonderful. When do you start? A few days from now. That’s fast. Yeah. And it’s in chicago. Chicago. Oh. I forgot about that part. Well, I’d hate for you to leave port charles. Yeah, me, too. Then again, we did talk all the time when you were overseas. And chicago’s, what, like a two-hour flight? That’s nothing. I guess. What’s the matter, chet? This is good news, right? Well, it’s — it’s supposed to be, but… I’m sort of seeing somebody here. Well, this is the first I’m hearing about it. Who’s the lucky lady? Dr. Randolph, I am so glad you’re here. This magnanimous donor is not listening to me. Perhaps a tag team will get through to him. What can I do for you, mr. Cassadine? I am just trying to get some information on elizabeth. That’s all. You know we can’t release medical information without a patient’s consent. Yes, I understand that. But as a friend of the patient, without revealing any confidential information, I can assure you that elizabeth herself will be able to catch you up soon. Thank you, dr. Randolph. I can live with that. You see how easy that was? Dr. Randolph is elizabeth’s friend. I am not. Are you anybody’s friend? Don’t come back here unless you’re injured or dying. Hope to see you soon. Okay. Clearly, that wasn’t entirely about nikolas. What is going on with you? Of course this is what I wanted. Then let’s get packing. But moving out of wyndemere, I mean, that’ll be complicated. Uh… we haven’t shared a room since before you went to prison. If we got our own place, does that mean… you’re ready to share a bed with me again? I’m thinking that we should get a place with two bedrooms. At least. $10k a week may not be quartermaine money, but it will keep us in style.

[ Chuckles ] Sounds perfect. So, all of the craziness happening at your house, that was your mom. Yeah. I mean, not consciously, but the medication was making her sleepwalk. Does anybody know why? I mean, not the medication, of course. I get that. But I mean why she was doing the specific things that she was doing? We don’t know. And I am terrified that my mom will not get better until we find out. Scott: So you’re saying that you’re responsible. Could you enlighten the court as to what you mean? Your honor, if opposing counsel continues to chew the scenery, I will order him a side of hollandaise. Mr. Baldwin, in the interest of everyone’s time, just let your witness answer the question. Mr. Corinthos, be my guest. I was living in — in nixon falls for months before nina found me. I did not know who I was. And before too long, I stopped trying to find out. By the time nina arrived in nixon falls, I had decided… I didn’t want to know who I used to be.

Gabi: [Sighs]

Both: Mm.

Gabi: I have waited so long to be with you again.

Jake: Mm. Me too. I can’t believe I ended things between us. Biggest mistake of my life.

Gabi: [Chuckles lightly] Thank god we came to our senses.

Jake: Thank god I told you how I felt before I lost you to somebody else.

[Soft music]

Gabi: [Sighs]

Shin: Mm. Good morning, gabriella.

Gabi: [Grunts]

[Sighs]

Jake: Can’t believe this is actually happening.

Gabi: I never should have doubted you, jake. I’m so sorry.

Jake: Don’t be sorry. You’re here.

Gabi: Honestly, thank you for giving us another chance. You’re not gonna regret it.

Jake: I know I won’T.

Jake: [Chuckles lightly]

Ava: Mm. Morning, handsome.

Jan: [Sighs]

Shawn: Uh, there you go.

Jan: Thank you.

Shawn: Yeah. How’re you feeling today?

Jan: Well, there’s no more cramping, so–

Shawn: That’s good.

Jan: I just–I feel so wiped.

Shawn: You sleep okay?

Jan: Not really. I was tossing and turning. I couldn’t get comfortable. And when I finally did fall asleep, I had a terrible nightmare.

Shawn: About what?

Jan: Your wife.

[Ominous music]

Belle: [Groans]

Ej: Good morning, belle.

Belle: Is it? Maybe somebody should tell that to my head.

Ej: [Chuckles] Rough night?

Belle: Oh, yeah. But even worse morning. I almost hurled in the cab on the way over here.

Ej: Oof. Did you come to pick up your car?

Belle: [Sighs] I did. And to thank you for arranging a ride home for me last night. Although, I’m sorry to say, I only vaguely remember it.

Ej: [Chuckles] I understand. Coffee? Or perhaps some hair of the dog?

Belle: Oh, god no. Um, actually I’m gonna get going, I gotta get home.

Ej: Home?

Belle: Uh, shawn’s home.

Ej: I see. Uh, can I ask why?

Belle: Oh, well, at the request of ms. Spears, I have to go clear out my office so she can use it as a nursery for the baby.

Ej: Why are you giving in to jan’s ridiculous demands? It’s your house, belle.

Belle: [Scoffs] Not anymore.

[Tense music]

Leo: Good morning, sunshine.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Ej: That house is as much yours as it is shawn’S.

Belle: Yeah, on paper. But I’m not gonna move back in there as long as jan’s living there.

Ej: Which is just until the baby is born, correct?

Belle: Not if jan has anything to say about it.

Ej: You think shawn is going to let her stay indefinitely?

Belle: Listen, I can feel jan just sinking her claws into shawn and into our whole life. I’m sure she thinks she’s gonna be there forever.

Ej: So you’re just going to let jan spears win? Don’t you think your marriage is worth fighting for? Hmm?

Jan: God, it was so awful, shawn. Belle, she dragged me in front of a judge to make sure that I could never see my baby. Oh, god, it felt so real.

Shawn: Okay, but jan, it wasn’t real, all right? It was just a dream.

Jan: Which could easily happen. I mean, you heard the things that she said last night. She wants to file papers to have me declared an unfit mother.

Shawn: It’s because she was upset. I mean, come on, understandably.

Jan: She was serious, shawn. She hates me so much. She was probably happy when I had to go to the hospital.

Shawn: No, no, she was not.

Jan: I bet that she wants me to lose the baby, and was hoping that I would, because that’s what she wants.

Shawn: No, nothing–

Jan: She will do anything to take my child from me.

Shawn: No, nothing is gonna happen, jan, all right? Nobody’s gonna take your child from you.

Jan: You won’t let them, right?

Shawn: No. No, I will not let them.

Leo: Hello? Anybody home? Sonny boy. Guess you really still are out, big guy. Must have indulged in a few too many of those magic cookies last night. Because, baby, you went down like a sack of potatoes. Not before we had our fun though, and the best part is I’ve got proof.

[Grunts] These are even better than I’d hoped.

[Laughs] Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Leo: [Laughs] Oh, this one might be my favorite. Look at that smile on my face. Hmm. Though I could use a filter on my crow’s feet. Ooh. I guess that is my cue to skedaddle. But oh, what a memorable evening it was, jackson K. At least for me.

Sonny: Oh, my god.

[Groans] Oh, my head.

[Sniffs] What the hell did I do last night?

[Exhales] Oh, my god, I’m gonna be late.

Ava: You were mumbling in your sleep. What were you dreaming about?

Jake: Oh, I, um… don’t remember.

Ava: Hmm. Strange, isn’t it? How quickly we forget our dreams. So what do you want for breakfast, hmm? We’ve got, uh, sausage, bacon. I even picked up some scrapple if you’re feeling homesick for philly.

Jake: You know, ava, when I asked you to move in here, I didn’t mean I wanted you as my personal chef and bottle washer.

Ava: You know I love to cook.

Jake: I know you do, and you’re good at it. But why don’t you let me cook you breakfast for a change.

Ava: You can cook?

Jake: I can scramble and egg. Oh, you look skeptical.

Ava: Uh, I just, uh– I have high standards.

Jake: Then I’ll have to work hard to live up to them.

Jan: You really mean that? You won’t let belle try to take our baby away from me?

Shawn: She’s not gonna do that, jan.

Jan: I think you’re giving her too much credit. And what happens if they send me back to prison right after our angel’s born?

Shawn: Well, if that happens, then I will– I will take the baby to visit you as much as– as much as I possibly can.

Jan: Really? You would do that?

Shawn: Yes. Yes, of course I would do that. I mean, it–it’s your child.

Jan: And yours. Even though I know it’s not what you wanted.

Shawn: How could this be what I wanted, jan? How? Okay, but I have a responsibility to this child. And–and right now, I have a responsibility to you as well.

Jan: Thank you for saying that.

Shawn: Hold–wait, hold on. You know, I also–I also have a responsibility to my wife and to my daughter. And to state the obvious, belle is–she’s–she’s upset at this whole entire situation. I mean, and it’s– she’s got totally a great reason to be.

Jan: What are you saying, shawn?

Shawn: [Sighs] I’m saying that I’m–listen, I’m stuck in the middle here. Right in the middle. You and belle both want me to pick sides. But the side that I need to be on–I need to be on this baby’s side. I do not feel– I don’t feel that it is right to rip a child away from its mother without good reason, so– so I’m not gonna let that happen.

Belle: Of course my marriage is worth fighting for.

Ej: And yet, you don’t seem to be fighting.

Belle: Jan has convinced shawn that if I come within a ten-mile radius of her, she’s gonna get the vapors and possibly lose the baby. Oh, my god, I can’t with her drama.

Ej: Hmm. So you’re doing this for you, not her?

Belle: Yes. First of all, if I don’t let her turn the office into a nursery, then her kid’s gonna move into my kid’s room. And that is just–

Ej: Fair point.

Belle: And I also have to have access to my files so I can do my job properly, so–

Ej: Mm. And you don’t want to be wading past jan every time you’re looking for a document.

Belle: [Scoffs] I don’t want anything to do with her. Anyway, it’s way past time for me to just… bite the bullet.

Ej: Is there any room at your parents’ house for you to set up an office space?

Belle: Oh, no, not really.

Ej: So why not bring it here?

Belle: What?

Ej: We have more rooms than we know what to do with.

Belle: I–you want me to move my office here?

Ej: You are my lawyer, belle. We’ll consider it a retainer.

Belle: Really?

Ej: Of course. I’ll even help you move the boxes.

Belle: Well, that’s very kind of you, but I am perfectly capable–

Ej: I know you are, but I also know chivalry is dead. But I’m hardly anyone’s idea of a knight in shining armor. I’m just a bored, unemployed, ex-tycoon with plenty of time on my hands since my sister foiled my coup attempt at dimera.

Belle: [Chuckles] You really don’t have anything better to do than to help me?

Ej: [Laughs] I really don’T. And besides, we’ll be in and out twice as fast with the two of us. What do you say?

Belle: I say…sold.

Ej: Excellent. Then let’s do this.

Belle: Let’s do it.

[Chuckles]

From prom dresses

[Uneasy music]

Victor: Should have been in the office two hours ago.

Sonny: I know. I know, I don’t–I don’t know how I slept so late.

Victor: Did you go on a bender last night? You look like hell.

Sonny: No, I didn’t drink anything. I don’t think.

Victor: You don’t think?

Sonny: No, but I do feel really strange.

Victor: Have some fruit. Very hydrating, packed with vitamins, and very delicious.

Sonny: You sound like a commercial.

Victor: Well, I should. Henderson outdid himself. Have to make sure he remembers where he got this fruit.

[Tense music]

Sonny: Wait, that’s– that’s not from henderson. That’s from leo stark.

Leo: [Sniffs] Good morning, this is leo stark. I’m sending over those pictures we discussed. They will be in your hot little hands shortly. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

[Phone beeps]

Gabi: Cookies?

Shin: Baked fresh. You have a sweet tooth, no?

Gabi: Yeah, no, I do, but, um, cookies for breakfast?

Shin: Americans eat sugary cereals and toaster pastries. Not to mention muffins the size of my head.

[Chuckles]

Gabi: Yeah, you’re right. Why would cookies be any different?

Shin: Go ahead, have one. Or two.

Gabi: I just feels a little…decadent. Kind of like last night.

Shin: Oh. You aren’t having regrets?

Gabi: No, no, I had– I had a wonderful time. I just–I just think I– I drank a little too much. I was not expecting waking up… here.

Shin: With me.

Gabi: Yeah.

Shin: Then you do have regrets.

Gabi: No, no.

Shin: Good. Because last night… was one of the most intense, and exciting nights of my life. I’ve known you a long time. But you still managed to surprise me… in a thousand different ways.

Gabi: Well, I could say the same.

Shin: Well, what would you say if I told you I was thinking of…postponing my flight back to hong kong?

Gabi: Why would you do that?

Shin: So we could spend more time together. See what happens. But only if that’s what you want.

Jake: That is a lot of hot sauce. Maybe I can’t scramble and egg, huh?

Ava: No– no, they’re perfect. They are. I just, you know– I got used to eating eggs like this when rafe and I were– sorry.

Jake: Gotcha. No, no, no. Hey, look, gabi got me hooked on the stuff too. You know, hot sauce is the one condiment you’re always gonna find in my fridge.

Ava: [Chuckles]

Jake: Well, our fridge.

Ava: Right. About that, um– you know, I was up early this morning, and I was thinking, um–

Jake: That sounds serious.

Ava: No, it’s just, you know, we were roommates, right? And then we were in bed together, and then… we were in bed together.

Jake: Yeah?

Ava: I just– I don’t know, I feel like we may have just skipped some steps along the way.

Jake: [Clears throat] You saying you have regrets about last night?

Ava: No. Absolutely not. But I do think I’m gonna move out.

Jan: Oh, shawn. These are all my favorites. I can’t believe you remembered.

Shawn: Yeah, well, we have spent a lot of time together over the years. Even if most of it was against my will.

Jan: This reminds me of the time that you took me in when I was pregnant in high school. You were even willing to say that the baby was yours because of what nicole’s father had put me through. Gosh, that was a terrible time in my life. I had almost given up on the idea of ever being a mother after that. And now… shawn, I already love this baby so much. Especially because we made it together.

Shawn: Oh, come on, jan.

Jan: I know, I know. I can’t get any ideas about us. And I’m not. I know how much you’ve given up to take care of me and the baby. And I just want you to know how grateful I am. Centrum multigummies aren’t just great tasting…

Jake: You want to move out? Was I that terrible last night?

Ava: Oh, no.

[Chuckles] No, you–you were amazing.

Jake: Good, ’cause you seemed to be enjoying yourself.

Ava: Oh, I was.

Both: [Chuckle]

Ava: A lot. Which is why I have to move out.

Jake: I don’t understand.

Ava: Look, um– I moved in with rafe, right? ‘Cause I didn’t have any place to go. And then we started sleeping together, and we were already living together, and the whole time he was in love with another woman. You know how that ended, and I really– I have no desire to get on that rollercoaster again.

Jake: I’m not in love with another woman.

Ava: Yeah, that’s debatable.

Jake: Wow.

Ava: Uh, look, I’m just saying I have gone from zero to 60 again. And, you know, if we’re gonna be in a relationship, I really don’t want to fast-track the living together part.

Jake: Ava, I–

Ava: Oh, if. If…you want to be in a relationship.

Jake: [Sighs]

Ava: Look, if you see this as, like, a friends with benefits sort of thing, that’s–

Jake: I don’T. Okay? Ava, I–

[Chuckles] Man, I like you. I like you–I like you a lot. And I– I’m sorry, but I– I just don’t know what’s changed since you moved in. I mean, you’re still unemployed. So how’re you gonna pay rent? Unless you have somewhere else to go?

Ava: No, not yet.

Jake: Okay. So how about we think of another plan that doesn’t involve leaving you homeless.

Ava: You got some ideas?

Jake: Well, I just started back up at dimera. And I’m making more money now, so maybe I can find a bigger apartment that has at least a second bedroom.

Ava: Yeah, but that’s gonna take a little time, isn’t it? What do you think we can do until then, hmm? You’re definitely not sleeping on the floor. Don’t say that.

Jake: No, that’s not gonna happen. My back still hasn’t recovered from that. But, look, if you want to put the brakes on the whole sleeping together thing–

Ava: The “sleeping together” thing? Hmm?

Jake: I’m just saying, if you want to, you know, take a step back, let me woo you with my culinary skills and my manly charm. We can catch up on all the steps that we skipped.

Ava: Yeah, I think it might be working already.

Jake: Mm. So you’ll stay?

Ava: Yeah, I’ll stay. Thanks for understanding.

Jake: Although I might to take a cold shower… or seven.

Both: [Chuckle]

Ava: Yeah, and I, uh– I might have to request that you put on a shirt. So, uh…

Jake: Oh.

Ava: I don’t lose my willpower.

Jake: Ah. So you want me to cover up? Is that it?

Ava: [Sighs] Not really.

Jake: What are you doing?

Ava: What am I doing? Hmm, well… I was thinking, maybe… we could wait on those steps…

[Chuckles] Maybe until this afternoon, or, I don’t know, maybe this evening?

Jake: Are you sure you want to?

Ava: Jake, stop talking. Mm.

Gabi: Uh, you want to stay in salem because of me?

Shin: Well, I have to admit, at first I was worried you might just be using me to make jake jealous.

Gabi: You mentioned that, yeah.

Shin: But last night… well, you were extremely…attentive.

Gabi: As were you.

Shin: I know some see it as bad form to be too forward. But I must admit… I woke up this morning thoroughly smitten. But if you don’t feel the same way, just say the word. There will be no awkwardness, no repercussions. We can forget last night ever happened.

Gabi: I don’t want to forget last night happened. In fact… I want to make it happen again.

Belle: [Clears throat]

Shawn: Belle?

Belle: What is going on here?

Jan: Relax, would you? It was just a hug. I was expressing my gratitude to shawn for how well he’s been treating me and the baby. Isn’t that right?

Shawn: Yeah. Yeah, it is right. And what the hell is he doing here?

Belle: He came to help me clean out my office per jan’s demand.

Ej: So let’s just get this over with, shall we?

Victor: You accepted a gift from leo stark? Are you stark raving mad?

Sonny: Okay, well, I didn’t exactly accept it.

Victor: Well, then what are they doing here?

Sonny: I don’t–I don’t know. Um…[Sighs] Okay, uh, leo showed up yesterday with the fruit bouquet.

Victor: Why?

Sonny: I don’t–I don’t know. Okay, he said– he said he wanted to congratulate me on my new job. And I thought the fruit was probably poisoned, so I didn’t eat any.

Victor: Well, I just had some.

Sonny: It–it’s fine, uncle vic, all right? It’s okay.

Victor: How is that fine?

Sonny: Because leo stark had some and he’s fine, okay? And you’re–you’re fine too. Right?

Victor: Well, as fine as I ever am these days.

Sonny: [Sighs] Weird part is, you know, even though I didn’t have any of the fruit and I didn’t drink anything, you know, and I feel so weird. I mean, the only thing I had last night was– was cookies.

Victor: What cookies?

Sonny: Oh, um– it was just some cookies that were delivered from will and arianna.

Victor: Are you sure they sent them?

Sonny: I can– I mean, I could text them. But… oh, my god.

Victor: What is it? I just remembered I asked– I asked will the same question last night. He said he didn’t send any cookies. Maybe leo did drug me.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Door unlocks]

Gwen: [Sighs] Leo.

Leo: Hello, guinevere. What’s a nice girl like you doing in a place like this? I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Gwen: [Sighs]

Leo: You look good.

Gwen: [Sighs] Come on, no I don’T.

Leo: Okay, you look awful. I mean, to me you always look beautiful, even when you look awful. But let’s just say, prison garb isn’t your most flattering look. I could maybe pull it off. Thank god I’ve never had to. Oh, there was that one night in istanbul–

Gwen: Okay, leo, what– what are you doing here?

Leo: [Sighs]

Victor: So leo stark poisoned you?

Sonny: I don’t know. I don’t know, but he– he definitely did something to me.

Victor: You better check your wallet.

Sonny: I mean, everything seems to be intact.

Victor: Including you?

Sonny: [Sighs] Yeah. No, I’m all in one piece, as far as I can tell. Jesus, what the hell did he do to me while I was unconscious?

[Sighs]

Ava: Yeah, you wouldn’t expect a place like this to have such great water pressure.

[Chuckles]

Jake: We keep this up, we’re certainly gonna save a lot on our water bill.

Ava: Mm. So much for my grand plan to take things slowly, huh?

Jake: You still want to take a step back, all you gotta do is say the word.

Ava: You know, you are quite a gentleman, jake.

Jake: Wow. I haven’t heard that very often.

Ava: Mm. All right, you… have a wonderful day at work, mr. Boss man.

Jake: Thank you.

Ava: Mm. Yes, and when you come home, I will have a lovely dinner waiting for you. Something nice and spicy.

Gabi: I know last night I said I–I didn’t care if people at work talk, but now that we’re actually, you know–

Shin: A thing?

Gabi: Yeah, you know, I just think that we should be a little discreet about it, at least at first.

Shin: Of course. I’ll tell my father I’m staying in salem for business purposes.

Gabi: You think he’d be upset if he knew the truth?

Shin: Frankly, I don’t care. Besides, he keeps telling me I need to settle down with a nice girl.

Gabi: Ooh. I don’t think I match that description.

Shin: That’s exactly what I like about you.

Shawn: Look, I don’t get it, belle, I told you I didn’t want you to clear out your office.

Belle: Well, I’m doing it anyway.

Jan: Which is the best thing for all of us, if you ask me.

Belle: Which I did not.

Jan: And I’m feeling much better, by the way. Thank you for asking. So if you’re thinking about upsetting me again–

Ej: Sure, and I suppose that’s your cue to send your wife away, just like you did last night?

Shawn: What the hell is he talking about? No, I did nothing of the sort. What did you– what did you tell him?

Belle: I–I went over to talk about dimera business. I–I needed someone to talk to, okay? I was upset.

Shawn: Oh. Oh, let me guess. You, uh–you had a few drinks?

Ej: Do you have a problem with that?

Shawn: Yeah, I actually do have a problem with that. So what’s the deal, ej? Sammi doesn’t want to have anything to do with you, so, what, now you’re gonna go after her sister?

Belle: Shawn, stop it.

Shawn: That’s–I’m warning you, you stay the hell out of my marriage.

Ej: Well, maybe if you knew how to look after your wife properly, she wouldn’t need to turn to me for comfort.

Shawn: You shut the hell up.

Belle: Shawn, no. My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis…

Ej: You want to hit me? Bring it on.

Belle: No, come one. Stop it! Stop it, both of you.

Shawn: Then get the hell out of my house now.

Belle: Shawn, I just want to get my stuff. Please don’t make this worse than it already is.

Shawn: But belle, I told you, you didn’t have to move out. I don’t–I don’t want you to move out.

Belle: Okay, well, today made it very clear that I absolutely have to.

Ej: I’ll start getting the boxes, shall I?

Shawn: Look, what are you– what are you gonna do with all your things? Your–your parents don’t have enough room for everything.

Belle: Ej was kind enough to let me use some office space at dimera mansion.

Shawn: Oh, he did.

Ej: Mm-hmm.

Shawn: What, are you gonna be renting a room next?

Belle: Come on, ej, let’s just get this over with and go.

Ej: Yes, let’S.

Leo: Why do I feel like you’re disappointed to see me?

Gwen: Look, uh, no offense, matty, it’s just that when– when they told me to expect a visitor, I was– I was expecting jack, or maybe even xander.

Leo: Sorry. Just little old me.

Gwen: No, don’t be sorry. I’m so happy to see a friendly face.

Leo: I guess you don’t get too many of those here.

Gwen: No.

Leo: Is it that bad?

Gwen: I’m coping.

Leo: That’s not what I asked you.

Gwen: You know, I would really rather just not get into all the gory details. And, um, I’d rather just distract myself with what’s going on with you.

Leo: Well, I am happy to oblige. In fact, it’s one of the reasons I came here. I wanted to share with you my progress in my quest for revenge.

Gwen: I didn’t even know there was a quest.

Leo: Oh, there is. And it’s gonna cheer you up big time to hear about it.

Victor: Can’t believe you fell for the old bait and switch.

Sonny: Yeah, I was so careful about the fruit.

Victor: Yeah, and you completely ignored the cookies.

Sonny: Yeah, but the cookies showed up before leo did. I think? I don’t know. God, he set me up!

Victor: This is all your fault, you know.

Sonny: I know. I know. I got careless.

Victor: No, because you poked the bear, or in this case the weasel.

Sonny: You know what? Even if the little creep was trying to freak me out, he didn’t succeed. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to get to the office.

Victor: The hell you do.

Sonny: What are you talking– you were just complaining that I was late.

Victor: If you were drugged with an unknown substance, we have to find out what it was.

Sonny: What difference does it make? I’m fine now.

Victor: Leo stark committed a crime. You have to get a blood test so you can prove it.

[Knock at door]

Shin: Jake. What brings you here?

Jake: I, uh, hope I’m not coming at a bad time.

Shin: Not at all. What can I do for you?

Jake: Well, I just wanted to say thank you. You know– you’ve always had my back, ever since I got to dimera. Through all the hostile takeover attempts, the ups and downs.

Shin: I’m pleased to have your back.

Jake: I appreciate that. Anyway, just wanted to say goodbye before you head back to hong kong.

Shin: Actually, I’ve changed my plans. I’ve decided to stay in salem for a while.

Jake: Really? Why?

Gabi: Rafe, that is amazing. I am so happy for you.

[Chuckles] You know what? Yeah. I–I gotta call you back. I gotta go.

[Phone beeps] What the hell are you doing here?

Ava: Well, jake left these on the kitchen table this morning, and they are the documents that he had you sign.

Gabi: Okay, thank you.

Ava: I’ll be going.

Gabi: Oh, wait. Ava, hang on. I just got some news you’re gonna want to hear.

Ava: Oh?

Gabi: That was my brother on the phone. He proposed to nicole last night. And guess what? She said yes. Isn’t that wonderful? No matter who you are,

Ava: Rafe and nicole are getting married? How nice. I’m thrilled for them.

Gabi: Yeah, I’m sure.

Ava: I know you wish otherwise, that I would fly into a jealous rage, but I’m over rafe. Completely. Actually, I’ve moved on with someone new. Someone younger, smarter, sexier…ooh. And he’s definitely better suited for me. You will never, ever guess who.

Gabi: I really don’t care.

Ava: No? You don’t care that I slept with jake last night?

Shin: I’ve decided to stay in salem because…

Jake: Nevermind. You don’t, uh… need to explain. I know exactly why you’re sticking around.

Sonny: Okay. And thank you so much for fitting me in, kayla. All right, I’ll talk to you later. Bye. Oh, my god, will. Hi.

Will: Hi–hi.

Sonny: Hi.

Will: Are you okay?

Sonny: Yeah, I’m just– I’m really happy to see you.

Will: Yeah, you– what’s going on? You sent me some weird videos. You haven’t been answering my calls.

Sonny: Yeah, you know, just– what, you flew out here just to see me?

Will: Yeah, of course I did. And then I got this news alert.

Sonny: What–what news alert?

[Soft dramatic music]

Will: I’m guessing whatever went down last night, it had something to do with this?

Sonny: “My wild times with sonny kiriakis”?

Gwen: What did you do to sonny?

Leo: You don’t really care about the details, do you?

Gwen: Mm, no, not really. But I also know you didn’t come all this way to recount them.

Leo: I didn’T. I’m done with sonny– for the time being. So moving right along, guinivere, my knockout friend with chutzpah to burn and that limey accent that makes my heart go pitter-patter. How would you like to help me get revenge on somebody else?

Jan: I’m sorry. I’m sorry belle made you so upset.

Shawn: Look, it’s fine.

[Tray clatters] It’s fine.

Jan: Well, I–I can’t help feeling like this whole situation is my fault.

Shawn: Look, I don’t care whose fault it is anymore. I don’T.

Jan: Are you mad at me?

Shawn: [Sighs] No, I’m– I’m actually–I’m mad at the world right now. I’m mad at the devil. I’m mad at life for being so damn unfair. You know who I’m really mad at? I’m mad at ej for trying to steal my wife.

Belle: Are you sure the staff is okay unloading the car?

Ej: Yeah, it’s what we pay them to do.

Belle: Yeah, I guess I’m just not used to the whole servant thing.

Ej: [Chuckles] Samantha wasn’t either. But she adjusted eventually.

[Sighs] I, um… I’m very sorry, belle.

Belle: For what?

Ej: I shouldn’t have let my temper get the best of me with shawn.

Belle: No, you know what? He deserved it. He’s the one who let some psychotic, sadistic maniac move into our house and into our lives.

Ej: He’s an idiot to take you for granted. I would never do that.

Belle: Thank you for saying that.

Ej: I mean it, belle.

Belle: [Sniffles]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING

I’m glad to hear you’re starting to go back into the office again. Yeah. I got to reschedule a bunch of meetings and I got to see the new collection. It was gorgeous. It was fun. Really. It felt like a, like a big weight’s been lifted off my shoulders ever since we realized. Sheila’s responsible for my drinking.

I’ll bet even Taylor showed her sympathy, but I told her it was nothing. What I was going through is nothing compared to what Stephanie has to go through. That’s still nice that you two were able to share that moment, and I’m sure that Ridge appreciated you two being cordial with each other. So now we just need to get him to move back here instead of crashing at his.

He just said he needed some time and space to figure out his future. Hmm. Well, I think we both know it’s just a matter of time until he comes home to you. I believe that too, but I can’t worry about myself right now. Not after Stephanie lost Finn, because of Sheila.

I give you this train. As a sign of my love and commitment to you holding Finn’s things, it makes it even more real. It’s never coming home.

I don’t know what to say. Stephy, I, I was so proud when I put this ring on his.

We had our future ahead of us. It was a happy life and

now it’s over. Ben’s gone. He’s never coming back, and it’s because of that evil sick woman who took him away from me.

I couldn’t give up on you. Not my son, my only child,

the medical team all but gave up on you as a doctor and as your mother though I knew you still had life inside you. You just need time. Time to heal my sweet boy. So here you are. Nobody knows you’re life. Soon you will regain consciousness. You’ll be able to live your life again.

As a mother, I, I feel for Taylor and her daughter and everything that they have to endure because of Sheila mean, how are they gonna put Stephanie’s life back together? It, it’s just so heartbreaking. It’s going to take a lot of care and understanding in all of us being there to support her. And that does include.

he’s actually over. We’re at Stuffy’s right now. I haven’t even gotten any closure, like I don’t know where Finn’s Ashes are or if his mom’s scattered them. Well, why don’t you just, why don’t you reach out to Lee again? I don’t think she wants to deal with me. I mean, I, I’m sure she’s hurting too. Your Finn’s wife, you deserve some answers.

Yay. You’re right. You’re right.

Stuffy. I’m actually in the middle of, I I know you’re grieving. I am too. But we uh, we need to sort some things out about Finn. No, it’s not a good time. Could we just please get together and talk? I can come to you. I’ll head over to your place.

Please get to come by here.

I wish you didn’t have to be like this fin, but it’s the only way I can protect you.

I have to step out for a bit, but I won’t be gone long. You’ll be safe here until I get back. Maybe I’ll get to see Hayes. That adorable crash in the way. He must be missing you so much. I’ll give him a kiss from you from his daddy. Keep fighting Finn so you can get back to your little boy.

False alarm. She’s still asleep. Anyway, back to what we were talking about. Um, you know, Liam’s been concerned about stuffy, so he couldn’t stay when his dad was over. So usually you and Bill are like oil and water . We actually agreed on quite a few things, like for instance, how upset we were that Sheila tricked you into drinking by switching the champagne.

It’s so crazy. I mean, you couldn’t make it up if you tried. Mm-hmm. . And needless to say, they were both relieved to find out that Sheila’s been arrested for shooting Steffy and Finn. There’s no punishment too great for ruining Stuffy’s life. Sheila is the reason that Hayes now doesn’t have a father, but she’s the reason that you.

And then Ridge moved out and like, which by the way, dad and Bill agree that it was a bit of an overreaction on Ridge’s part. He was really upset with me at that time. Yeah. Okay. I’m just saying that you have two exes who are very Team Brook. What? Well, I do have a history with Bill, with Deacon. It just feels good to have them in my.

But my focus is on Ridge so that he can help Steffy adjust to a life without Finn. No, I hear you. I feel the same way about Liam. Yeah. We’re both determined to be there for Steffy and the kids in any way possible.

So how long has Liam been gone?

Well, I think it’s good that you called Lee. I hope so. The last time she was here, it was a little tense. Mm-hmm. Well, that does make sense. I mean, you had just dropped a huge bomb on her. Sheila was the one who killed her son. Yeah. You know, and she was beside herself with anger as if Sheila hadn’t done enough to their family.

Like Lee’s not talking to Jack. of everything that happened before with Sheila and I, I talked to Jack and he just seems like he’s a wreck. Oh really? Yeah. So she’s basically alone that she has no one. I wish she and I could lean on each other, mourn together. That’s what Finn would want. Well, nobody can bring Finn back, but one bright light and this whole dark chapter is, is haze that that Finn is gonna live on through k.

Yeah, thankfully we have that. I know that’s what Lee wants, you know? She wants to be involved in her grandson’s life. Yeah. Except for the fact that she seems to have some trouble accepting that finnis no longer with us. She doesn’t want to discuss the memorial or anything like that. And I just think we need to, because then we can begin to heal.

Yeah. Well, I think you’re right and I, and I really hope that you do end up getting the answers you deserve. I’m gonna take off, though, before she gets here because I want to give you guys some time alone. Thank you for checking on. Of course,

Stephanie and Liam told Kelly and Hayes about why Finn hasn’t been around lately. and I, I, I, I’m not sure Kelly fully understands just yet. Well, I don’t think Hayes is going to comprehend any of it either. No, no. It’s heartbreaking. He’s still so young and, and to think of all the experiences that, that have been taken from him with his dad, Finn loved him and he was so proud of him, and he was a great stepfather to Kelly.

It’s a tremendous loss for Kelly. They lived in the same home. It was a part of her family, and Liam is doing the best he can to help her cope and make sense of this tragedy.

Okay, maybe I shouldn’t bring this up. Uh, look, it’s good that he’s looking out for his daughter as he should be, but. What if Kelly spent time over here? That way Liam could balance out his life with you and your children together, and also be there for the needs of Stephanie Mom. Liam has been doing a very good job maintaining harmony between our blended families.

Honey, these are entirely different circumstances, very tragic circumstances, and we don’t want Liam to feel like he’s being pulled in two different direct. Sure. It might be tough for a little while. I mean, sure. Yeah. Liam can’t be in two places at the same time, but So do you think that he’s going to spend even more time over at Stuffy’s?

Lee, thank you for coming by. I was hoping to see Hayes. Is he in there napping? Hey, Hayes isn’t here. He’s, he and Kelly are still out with the babysitter. Leah, I’m so sorry. I wanted to offer my condolence. I just, I can’t imagine how painful this must be for you, but, uh, I’m gonna, I’m gonna let you guys, I’m gonna give you a minute.

It’s extremely difficult.

We’re never gonna be able to see Finn’s face again. How old is he? I didn’t wanna let him go. We didn’t have a choice. He was out of our control,

but we can honor his life. Remember who he was and I think that will give us a little comfort. Have you informed the children? We had to. Kelly started asking questions. Luckily I know finish your son and you’re suffering. But, um,

I would like to see Finn. What, I don’t know where you put him to rest. I haven’t even had a chance to say goodbye. You had Finn cremated while I was unconscious. I, I don’t know where his final resting place would be if you’re gonna scatter his ashes here or if you’ve already done that. No, we, I think we just need to plan his memorial.

Like my son’s still. I can’t see him as God. I refuse. I won’t let him go. I love him too much. There’s nothing I won’t do for fit, nothing at all. I’m sorry step, but I can’t stay. There’s a patient that.

That sounds so selfish. Ah, it’s not selfish, honey. It’s guarding your family and the needs of your children. We’re we’re fine. The kids are doing well. We haven’t suffered a devastating loss, but Steffy has, and she and Hayes and Kelly, they meet Liam right now. So, no, I am not insecure about him being over there.

I trust my husband. Okay. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t, but Steffy has a lot of friends and family that she can rely on. Her mother lives in the guest. Ridge checks on her daily. Her brother’s a phone call away, and Liam is over there all the time. My gosh, mom, he’s not over there all the time. He’s over there all the time, and I don’t want it to become a problem.

It won’t become a problem if we don’t make it into one. Honey, I love you. I do. I admire you. You have a huge heart, but sometimes I just want you to be realistic. Steffy and Taylor, they have a way of invoking sympathy. I mean, you saw it the way they got Ridge to move onto the property even though it was only temporary.

What are you saying that Liam is looking at beach houses now? I don’t know. I’m just saying that Steffy is very vulnerable and she told Liam that he’s welcome whenever he wants. Mom, I love. And I know you always have my best interest at heart, but I am telling you there’s nothing to worry about Liam spending time with Stepe.

We don’t need to worry. Okay? We don’t. We don’t, we don’t.

I get why Lee’s in mourning, but why is she putting up these walls with me? I don’t know. I wish I had an answer for you. But you see it, right? I’m not just reading into things. No, you’re. . She left so quickly. She was only here for a few minutes. Yeah, I mean it, it was strange. I just, I don’t, I don’t know Lee very well, but her behavior doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Yeah, I understand why she’d be in denial, but she just seemed very distant, very cold. Yeah, I was definitely picking up on that vibe.

I wish we could just be able to lean on each other, not be at odd. She just like wants to push me away. It’s almost like she’s keeping something from me.

You’re getting stronger and stronger. I have to believe you’ll pull through this

return to the wonderful, smart, loving man you were before this catastrophe.

I bet you’re wondering how the visit went. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see Hayes. He was there. You could to see your little boy.

I’m very concerned about him. Stephy too. I hate to see how much she’s hurting.

They all think you passed away, but you didn’t.

I couldn’t let you leave me. Thank God. Jesus’s just too young to understand what he’s been told. I know. He’ll be so thrilled to see you one day soon.

That’s for your wife.

You took a bullet for her. Saved her life. I certainly hope she remains worthy of your love and commitment.

God, I am so broken. Liam, how do I pick up the pieces?

How do I wake up every day without?
