Spencer: Good morning, Grandmother.

Laura: Good morning, Spencer. How’d you sleep?

Spencer: I didn’t.

Laura: Oh. Well, you’ve been under lock and key for a month. Maybe it takes time to get used to the comforts of home. I don’t know.

Spencer: That’s not it.

Laura: Okay, then what is it?

Spencer: You’re pregnant?! Why didn’t you say anything?

Esme: When was I supposed to tell you — before or after you called me a monster?

Spencer: Esme, please.

Esme: For the record, I haven’t taken the test yet. But I am late.

Laura: Spencer? You know you can tell me anything, right?

[ Door opens, closes ]

Nikolas: Is that a smile I see?

Esme: Mr. Cassadine. Good morning.

Nikolas: Well, it certainly looks that way. Your first night in your new place must have agreed with you.

Esme: Oh, you have no idea.

Jordan: Trina, have a seat. I just want to walk you through what’s next. In a few hours, you’ll be escorted to the courthouse for your arraignment. If you plead not guilty —

Trina: if? Jordan… I’m pleading not guilty because I didn’t do it.

[ Tray clatters ]

Alexis: Oh. You found the carpet cleaner.

Harmony: Yeah.

Alexis: How’d you know that was in the basement?

Harmony: I’m making breakfast to celebrate my temporary new digs. I hope you like scrambled. Alexis, what’s wrong?

[ Doorbell rings ]

Harmony: I’ll get that.

Alexis: Yeah.

Sam: Harmony. What are you doing here?

Carly: I mean, look at Avery’s schedule. She has so many activities.

Ava: [ Chuckles ] And I thought we were busy people, huh?

Carly: Yeah. Oh, I-I talked to Avery’s dance teacher, told her about the little sprain. She said it wouldn’t be a problem.

Ava: Okay.

Carly: Hmm.

Ava: Carly, I want to tell you again how much Avery love her time with you.

Carly: Oh. Not as much as I love spending time with her. I can’t believe how fast they go from playdate to college. It’s…crazy.

Ava: You know, I-I-I heard about that awful video of Joss and Cameron. If you ever find out who’s responsible, you know, Carly, I wouldn’t blame you if you —

Sonny: Hello, Ava. Carly.

Ava: Sonny.

Carly: Ava and I are going over Avery’s schedule, trying to coordinate some dates.

Sonny: Oh, I thought you were talking about Trina.

Ava: Trina? Why would we be talking about Trina?

Sonny: She just got arrested for making the video of Cameron and Josslyn.

Carly: No, that’s crazy. Trina would never do anything like that, especially not to Cameron and Josslyn.

Ava: No. And I work side by side with Trina at the gallery. I couldn’t trust her more if she were my own daughter.

Carly: She was clearly set up. Esme.

Ava: Esme.

Sonny: Well, you know what? I don’t believe it, either. But I don’t think Jordan would have arrested her if there wasn’t some kind of evidence of it. I mean, right?

Ava: Evidence can be fabricated, as we know.

Sonny: Yeah.

Ava: Always a pleasure.

Carly: Where are you going?

Ava: I’m gonna go make sure that somebody pays for this.

Carly: [ Exhales sharply ]

Sonny: How’s Josslyn?

Carly: Hurt. Humiliated. But standing up for herself.

Sonny: You know, Josslyn’s been my stepdaughter for years. And if I didn’t find out about this tape from Dante, I would have had to find out from the, uh…Invader article.

Alexis: You know, I tried calling you. I-I couldn’t reach you.

Sam: What’s going on?

Alexis: Harmony’s just staying here for a little bit.

Sam: Oh.

Alexis: I thought molly and Kristina might have called you.

Sam: No, I guess it slipped their minds.

Harmony: I totally forgot the sugar. I’ll be back.

Sam: So, Shawn takes off… and Harmony moves in?

Alexis: [ Sighs ]

Laura: Would you like some more coffee?

Spencer: Thank you, grandmother. This is a perfect first morning of freedom. I would dream about these when I was inside.

Laura: [ Laughing ] Spencer. You were inside for a month.

Spencer: Even worse. I had had them so recently, and the bakery was so close.

Laura: Hmm. Well, I’m glad that whatever spoiled your sleep hasn’t ruined your appetite. Quit stalling and just tell me what’s wrong.

Spencer: What makes you think that I’m stalling?

Laura: Oh, I don’t know. Maybe ’cause I’ve known you since you were a little boy. And when you stall, it looks exactly like this. Spencer, you know you can trust me. With anything.

Spencer: Did you ever do something that you shouldn’t have but you didn’t realize that you had done it until it was too late?

Laura: [ Chuckles ] Oh, boy. How much time do you have? You know, Spencer, I could fill an encyclopedia with the mistakes I’ve made. I have tried to learn from them. And hopefully, maybe I can impart some of those hard-won lessons to you.

Spencer: It’s about Esme.

Laura: I thought so. Spencer, I’m so sorry that you broke up. I really am. If there’s anything I can do —

[ Knock on door]

Laura: I bet that that’s her right now. And if it is, I can go upstairs.

Victor: Good morning.

Laura: It was so close to being one.

Victor: I just dropped by to see if Spencer — well, slaughter the fatted calf! The prodigal has returned!

Nikolas: And how is the room above Kelly’s? I know it’s a change from what you’re accustomed to.

Esme: It’s fine. It may not be a lap of luxury, but it’s clean and comfortable. And beggars can’t be choosers.

Nikolas: Oh, you consider yourself a beggar?

Esme: Oh, close enough. I mean, I can’t access my trust fund until I’m 25. In the meantime, my allowance is measured out in teaspoons.

Nikolas: Oh, the horror.

Esme: I know. “Poor little rich girl.” Guess I’m not making a very good case for myself.

Nikolas: Esme, I was joking. I know how it feels to be dependent on the largesse of family. I mean, sometimes strangers can be more generous.

Esme: And no one’s been as generous to me as you have, despite everything I’ve done to you and Ava. What’d I do to deserve your kindness?

Nikolas: Kindness has nothing to do with it.

Jordan: It doesn’t matter what I believe. My job is to gather evidence, not judge who’s guilty or not guilty. That’s up to a court of law.

Trina: Jordan, you know me. You know my parents. Do you really think I would do this to Joss and Cam?

Jordan: Can you explain how the phone that posted the video was found in your possession?

Trina: [ Sighs ]

Jordan: Trina, I can tell there’s something you want to say. What is it?

Ava: I’ll say it for her. You’ve got the wrong person.

Alexis: You can relax. Harmony is not taking up residence here.

Sam: [ Chuckles ] You could’ve fooled me.

Alexis: She just needs a place to stay. I’m just helping her out till she can afford to get a place of her own.

Sam: Okay, well, clearly, you have made up your mind and there nothing I can do to change it.

Alexis: Not that that’s gonna stop you.

Sam: Have you ever thought that Harmony’s redemption act is too good to be true? Because take it from someone who knows — the grifter’s instinct, it never leaves you. All you can do is own it and fight it. Is Harmony doing that? Or is she working you?

Victor: Hm. Not bad.

Laura: What do you want, Victor?

Victor: Well, I wanted to check up on my great-nephew here to make sure you had everything you need, now you’re a free man.

Spencer: Freedom’s not all it’s cracked up to be.

Victor: Uh-oh. Trouble in paradise?

Laura: I’m sure Spencer will tell us what’s going on in his own good time. Right now, I think we should give him some space.

Victor: What others call lies of omission I like to call truths to be told at the right time.

Laura: The time that benefits you.

Victor: Hm. You’re a politician, Madam Mayor. Surely you know the value of strategy. You can’t succeed without maneuverability and a sense of gamesmanship.

Laura: Funny you should mention that. Rumor has it you enjoy a good game of cards.

Victor: [ Chuckles ] Doesn’t everyone?

Spencer: I might just try to, uh, catch a nap, so…

Victor: Oh, uh, wait a minute, Spencer. There is something important we need to discuss. All three of us.

Esme: I should have known you wouldn’t have found me a place to stay unless you expected something in return. If this is about me putting in a good word with Spencer, he won’t listen. Not now.

Nikolas: [ Chuckles ] I’m not asking you to go to bat for me with Spencer. Not because my son stopped caring for you. But I don’t have reason to trust you.

Esme: Well, at least you’re honest about it.

Nikolas: Can you blame me? You Camerone close to driving the woman I love out of my life.

Esme: I have nothing against you or Ava. I only knew her from what Spence told me. And, I mean, I never questioned his perspective because he was in so much pain. So when he asked me for help, I couldn’t say no, even though I knew it was wrong. Of course, that was just the first of many mistakes.

Nikolas: Yes, it was. I don’t understand. If you haven’t forgiven me for the things I’ve done to you, then why are you helping me? Why make sure I have a roof over my head when you could just as easily send me packing? Of course. You did it so you could keep an eye on me.

Ava: Are you all right?

Trina: Fine.

Jordan: I need to follow up on something. I’ll leave you two to talk.

Ava: Thank you. Uh, Commissioner? Aren’t you forgetting something?

Jordan: He stays. They get 10 minutes.

Officer: Yes, Commissioner.

Ava: Trina, I’m so sorry this is happening to you.

Trina: So am I.

Ava: Well, I promise you, I’m gonna do everything in my power to get you out of here and clear your name. This is a terrible miscarriage of justice.

Victor: I do regret we had to cancel your “welcome home” dinner, but let’s reschedule it, if not as a “welcome home,” then as some other kind of celebration. We do have a lot to celebrate.

Laura: We do?

Victor: Oh, more than you can imagine.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Laura: Excuse me. Jordan?

Jordan: Laura, can you stop by the precinct as soon as you can?

Laura: Is there trouble?

Jordan: I’m guessing you haven’t seen The Invader today.

Laura: I haven’t.

Jordan: Just as well. I’ll brief you when you get here.

Laura: I’m on my way.

Victor: A mayor’s work is never done.

Laura: Something’s come up. I’m sorry.

Victor: Oh, have no fear. Your grandson is in good hands.

Laura: I’m a phone call away.

[ Door closes ]

Victor: Ahh, alone at last. Right, now, Spencer, suppose you tell me what exactly is going on between you and Esme.

Spencer: Esme and I are over. Whatever we had ended when I realized that… I couldn’t trust her.

Victor: Trust [Scoffs] Is an illusion. Loyalty, on the other hand — now, loyalty is priceless. Has Esme been disloyal?

Spencer: Well, I don’t know. Has she harmed you in any way? Directly, no, but she went out of her way to hurt my friends.

Victor: Your friends. Not you.

Spencer: She tried to pin the blame for something that she did on someone else. Someone I, um… [ Clears throat ] Someone I care about. When I confronted her, she denied it. We argued, and the day that I got out of Spring Ridge, her bags were packed and she left.

Victor: I get the sense that the separation is harder than you imagined it would be.

Spencer: You don’t know the half of it.

Victor: Has our dear Esme gotten her claws into you? Has she, uh — she played the love card? Or, more insidious yet, the sex card?

Spencer: I changed my mind. I don’t want to talk about this.

Victor: No, nonsense. Nonsense. We are both men of the world, Spencer. What’s more, we’re both made of the same flesh and blood. Now, I can’t help you unless you tell me what kind of hold Esme has over you.

Spencer: Esme might be pregnant.

Carly: My priority during all of this has been Josslyn. So if she didn’t tell you about the tape, I didn’t feel it was my place.

Sonny: But you’re okay with her doing an interview in the newspaper?

Carly: That was Josslyn’s choice. Sonny, she and Cameron were being trashed on social media, so they decided to get in front of it, you know, take charge of the narrative and speak up for themselves. I’m damn proud of my daughter.

Sonny: So am I. She’s always gonna be… a daughter to me. But somebody is using that video as a weapon against her. And in my world, when somebody pulls out a knife…

Carly: you pull out a gun.

Alexis: She’s a friend who needs my help. So what am i supposed to do?

Sam: Okay. As long as Harmony is the friend that you need her to be. And, hell, if Kristina’s okay with it —

Alexis: she is. She is, okay? And thank you for understanding.

Sam: Okay. I got to go. I will be around if you need me.

Alexis: Fine.

Sam: I love you.

Alexis: Love you, too.

Harmony: Sam, I totally forgot to ask if you wanted some coffee.

Sam: No, thank you. Harmony. I hope this all works out for you.

[ Door opens ]

Harmony: Yeah, and by that, I think she means save up as fast as I can so I can get out of your hair as soon as possible.

Alexis Sam is very vocal about her concerns.

Harmony: Oh, I know.

Alexis: She also doesn’t make my decisions for me.

Harmony: And have you made any decisions I need to know about?

Alexis: Not yet. You know, Harmony, I, um, can’t help but notice how well you know your way around my house. I mean, it almost seems like you’ve been here before. Without my knowledge.

Harmony: Because I have.

Victor: Pregnant? Is that all?

Spencer: Isn’t that enough?

Victor: If you’re the father. Of course I am. You’re sure?

Spencer: Yes.

Victor: No, you’re not. A man never can be.

Spencer: Esme moved to Port Charles for me. She even broke a few laws because she thought it was gonna help.

Victor: And you feel responsible.

Spencer: Aren’t I?

Victor: Listen to me, my boy. You are a young man with your whole life ahead of you. You have a family with almost unlimited resources, a family that loves you very much, even though sometimes they have a hard time knowing how to express it.

Spencer: What are you saying? If Esme is indeed pregnant and you are indeed the father… [ Breathes loudly ] …well, we have a whole array of options at our disposal. We can pay her off. We can resettle her somewhere. We can arrange to have the child brought up by more appropriate parents. Well, we do that all the time in this family, in case you haven’t noticed.

Spencer: I’m sorry. It’s just a lot.

Victor: Alright. Let me simplify. I can arrange to have mother and child cared for without tying you down.

Spencer: Thank you.

Victor: I have to say, I’m a little relieved. I, uh — I was worried at first that you were upset about that, uh, young lady who works at Ava’s gallery.

Spencer: Trina. What about her?

Victor: Oh, haven’t you heard?

Spencer: No.

Victor: Oh, she, uh — apparently she betrayed her other friends and got herself arrested.

Nikolas: Of course, I want to keep an eye on you, Esme. You helped Spencer terrorize my wife.

Esme: Everything I did, I did for Spencer.

Nikolas: Am I supposed to believe that you don’t have a mind of your own? That you couldn’t see Spencer’s plot spiraling out of control?

Esme: I don’t know how many times I can say this. I was wrong, and I’m sorry.

Nikolas: I provided you with a place because there’s a very good chance that this breakup is temporary. And if that is true, I need to know that you’re good for my son.

Esme: In other words, you give me shelter and a chance to prove that I’m not some gold digger?

Nikolas: Well, the virtues I’m looking for aren’t as traditional as all of that. I need to know that you will inspire Spencer to be the man he can be.

Esme: According to whose standards? Society’s or your family’s? Because that’s becoming clearer by the day that those mean very different things.

Nikolas: Well, it depends on Spencer. Whatever path he chooses, will you be there? Do you really care for him?

Esme: Haven’t I proven that by now? Of course I care for Spencer. I’ve loved him more than I’ve ever loved anyone.

Nikolas: Then here’s your chance to remind him.

Esme: You don’t understand. It’s too late.

Ava: Tell me everything that happened. On second thought, just tell me what the police already know.

Trina: So, I tried to show the commissioner my phone to prove that I didn’t have the sex video on it. I pulled out what I thought was my phone.

Ava: Wait, what do you mean what you thought was your phone?

Trina: It was identical. Identical. It was the same case, same model. Then I heard a chime with a text on my actual phone. I realized my phone is still in my bag. Someone planted the other one.

Ava: And we may not know how they did it, but we know who. It was Esme, wasn’t it?

Jordan: Thank you for coming.

Laura: [ Sighs ] I saw The Invader on the way over. Trina Robinson can’t possibly have anything to do with that sex tape, can she?

Jordan: We’re exploring all angles, which is the reason why I called. There’s another piece of the puzzle I need to make you aware of. Personally.

Laura: Personally? Is that because the tape involves Cameron?

Jordan: It actually involves your other grandson, Spencer.

Carly: The first step is to prove that Esme did this to Josslyn and Cameron, and then i will make her pay.

Sonny: So I have no say in what happens? You agree with Michael that Josslyn doesn’t concern me anymore?

Carly: Michael agrees with Josslyn. And she has made it very clear that she doesn’t want you involved.

Sonny: Carly, I understand how you feel about me, but you know I will do anything for my children.

Carly: Great, great. Then — then do what Josslyn has asked and stay out of it. Have you even read the interview with her and Cam? Have you?

Sonny: Not all of it, no.

Carly: You should. It’s pretty impressive. Josslyn showed a lot of courage.

Sonny: I-I don’t need an interview to tell me, you know, how brave Josslyn is. I see it. Just — just like I see that Trina, if she’s taking the fall for this, someone else is getting away with a vicious attack on Josslyn’s name and privacy.

Carly: That someone is Esme.

Sonny: I’m not gonna stand by and let that happen. I’m gonna take care of it.

Sam: Sonny.

Laura: Sonny.

Sonny: Hey, Sam. How you doing?

Sam: I know that look. [ Exhales deeply ] Someone’s gonna suffer.

Trina: Of course Esme did it. But she wasn’t in the cabin when the video was recorded. She was in the car with Spencer on her way back to town.

Ava: Well, she didn’t have to be there physically to make the recording. It’s not that hard.

Officer: Sorry. Time’s up.

Ava: Thank you. Trina… I promise you, I will move heaven and earth to get you out of this.

Trina: Ava, do people really think I —

Ava: Hey. Who cares what people think? Your family, your friends — your good and true friends — they know you. And so does Spencer, whether you care what he thinks or not.

Laura: How’s Spencer involved? Ava. How’s Trina?

Ava: Innocent.

Spencer: This doesn’t make sense. How could they arrest Trina?

Victor: Well, I’d imagine the police found evidence of a crime that pointed to her guilt.

Spencer: I’m sorry, Uncle Victor, but I need a minute.

Victor: Yeah, I can take a hint. I’ll, uh, see myself out.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

Esme: Are you coming or not?

Spencer: I will go with you. But first, I’m gonna check on Trina and then I will get our bags and I will meet you outside!

Esme: Trina’s asleep, and we can send for our things. Let’s go.

Esme: -What am I up to? Wow.

Spencer: -It’s a fair question.

Esme: It’s not enough that you accused me of orchestrating this weekend to blow up your friendships —

Spencer: Which you denied.

Esme: Do you believe me?

Spencer: I want to.

Esme: Oh, my god.

Spencer: Which is why I’m asking, what the hell did you hope to achieve with the questions you were asking during the drinking game?

Esme: [ Laughs ] A fun night! How was I supposed to know what would hit a nerve?

Spencer: Look me in the eye and tell me that you had nothing to do with that video.

Esme: Would it even matter? After all this time together, everything we’ve been through, I can’t believe our history isn’t enough.

Spencer: Wait. You never answered my question.

Esme: You want an answer? Yeah, I do. Well, Spence, you don’t always get what you want.

Esme: Not only has Spence kicked me to the curb, but there’s a target on my back because of what certain people think I’ve done.

Nikolas: What people?

Esme: I mean, Josslyn’s mom, for one. You saw the bruises she left on my arm. Thank you again for taking me to the hospital and for putting Mrs. Corinthos on notice.

Nikolas: Someone had to.

Esme: That leaves… Mr. Corinthos.

Nikolas: Sonny? What about him?

Esme: He’s had it in for me ever since I stretched the truth about you and Ava leaving town with Avery. My misguided attempt to bring everyone together seriously backfired.

Nikolas: [ Sighs ] You let me worry about Sonny. Yeah, just work on being the person Spencer trusted, the person that he cared for and he still cares for. Can you do that?

Esme: That’s just it. Lately, Spence has put his trust in the last person he should, the person who actually did this terrible thing to Joss and Cam.

Nikolas: Trina?

Esme: Spence thought I did it. If he won’t believe me, maybe he’ll believe his own eyes. Maybe he’ll finally see that it was wrong to trust her.

Nikolas: If Trina’s out of his life, does that bring the two of you back together?

Esme: It might have before I found out that — found out what?

Sam: First of all, that someone would even do this at all — it’s horrific. But to Josslyn, knowing that Sonny Corinthos is her stepfather.

Carly: Oh, and she knows. She knows. You should have heard the way Esme spoke to me, and she was doing it just to get a rise out of me in front of Nikolas.

Sam: Well, did it work?

Carly: Oh, yeah, he rushed to her side to defend her. I don’t know how Josslyn has managed not to slap Esme into next week. When I was her age, back in my day…

Sam: Oh.

Carly: …I would’ve ripped her hair out of her head, and that’s before she tried to frame Trina.

Sam: Okay, well, that explains the smoke coming out of Sonny’s ears.

Carly: Yeah, well, Michael and Josslyn want him to stay out of it.

Sam: [ Scoffs ] Like anything’s gonna be able to stop him.

Sonny: Brick. Uh, I need you to coordinate with Spinelli, try to find a-a trail, you know, whoever did this. Yeah, I know what people are thinking, but I need to have, you know, a clean slate. So proof is absolute. You know what I’m saying? Right.

[ Knock on door, door opens ]

Ava: Hey. I need a drink. Gin if you have it, scotch otherwise.

Sonny: You can try in the bar, ’cause I don’t — I’m — I’m not doing that stuff anymore.

Ava: Huh. Kudos to Nina.

Sonny: [ Chuckles ] What — what are you doing here?

Ava: I just saw Trina.

Sonny: And?

Sonny: She didn’t do it. As you already know, it was Esme.

Harmony: Kristina was living here when she was interested in Dawn of Day. Um, and one day I waited for you to leave, and I knocked on the door, and Kristina opened it.

Alexis: You wanted to talk to Kristina when I wasn’t there?

Harmony: Yeah, Shiloh wanted me to check her out. And then, uh, we were having coffee in the kitchen, and there was, like, a mishap with the coffee maker. I don’t remember exactly what happened, but it spilled everywhere, and I helped her clean it up. And then I put the mop and the cleaning supplies back. And that’s — that’s how I knew where they were.

Alexis: Right. Uh, so just to be clear, I-I’m going to speak to Kristina about this.

Harmony: Yes. Yes, I-I want you to do that. I know I should have told you. I’m sorry, but, um, I was just, like, so ashamed of the reason why. Alexis, say something, please.

Nikolas; Clearly there’s something you’re not telling me. If there is something that you know about this video, something that involves Spencer —

Esme: No, he had nothing to do with it.

Nikolas: [ Exhales deeply ] Good. Then what is it? I can’t help you if I don’t know.

Esme: Please, Mr. Cassadine, I know you want to help. It’s just —

Nikolas: Go on.

Esme: I-I-I’m sorry. I have to — I just need to get some air before I —

Nikolas: before what?

Esme: I’m sorry. I just need a minute.

Spencer: Grandmother, you’re here. Why didn’t you tell me Trina was here?

Laura: I didn’t know until I was on my way over.

Spencer: Where is she?

Jordan: Trina’s in the interrogation room. You can go right in.

Laura: Why did you let Spencer in to see Trina? Do you believe that my grandson is involved in this?

Trina: It’s funny how things work out.

Spencer: There’s nothing funny about this.

Trina: Sure, there is. The last time I saw you, you were the one in custody. Now it’s my turn.

Sam: Oh, I wish Jason were here.

Carly: I wish that about a thousand times a day every day, but especially right now. You know, he would be able to figure out how Esme framed Trina, and he’d be able to stop me from losing my mind.

Sam: Probably.

Carly: Did you, uh, hear from Monica?

Sam: About Jason?

Carly: Yeah, she wants to have him declared legally dead. I mean, I heard about it from Britt, and then Monica reached out and said she wants to do it because she thinks it’ll help Jason’s kids move on. What do you think about that?

Sam: Uh… I think it seems impossible… saying goodbye to Jason.

Carly: I’m never gonna be able to say goodbye to him, you know.

Sam: We’re gonna have to try. Carly, we’re gonna have to try to move on.

Carly: Yeah, I feel like I’m moving on from so many things right now. And you have, too. I’m sorry. How are things with you and Dante?

Sam: They’re — they’re — they’re great. Um… listen, I… had to try really hard… to find the strength to move on from Jason. So maybe it’s possible that if you find your strength, you’ll be able to move on from Sonny.

Sonny: What do you want, Ava?

Ava: The same thing you want.

Sonny: Yeah?

Ava: Justice. I know Trina. She’s good. Hell of a lot better than either of us.

Sonny: Faint praise, low bar, is that what you’re saying?

Ava: Fair point.

Sonny: So?

Ava: So… we both know that she would never do this to Josslyn and Cameron.

Sonny: Carly’s convinced it’s Esme.

Ava: Carly’s right. And if Carly and I agree on something, it’s got to be true. Now… …what are you gonna do about it?

Sonny: I’m on it.

Esme: “‘We refuse to be victims,’ says Josslyn Jacks. Cameron Webber echoes that sentiment. ‘Whoever thought they could shame us into hiding has made a serious mistake.’” [ Laughs ] No, they didn’t, Cameron. The mistake was all yours, Trina.

Alexis: I have to go to work.

Harmony: Okay. Do you want me to leave?

Alexis: We’ll talk about it later.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

[ Thunder rumbling ]

Carly: Well, I divorced Sonny. I mean, that counts as moving on, right?

Sam: Not really. But, um, you know what? I’m gonna give you a pass on this one because you have a lot to deal with. You need to just stay focused on Josslyn.

Carly: She’s gonna get through this. And going public with what happened to her and Cam was a good first step. Now we have to make sure her best friend doesn’t pay for a crime she didn’t commit.

Spencer: I rushed over as soon as I heard.

Trina: Why? So you can tell Esme that it worked?

Spencer: You know I didn’t believe Esme when she accused you.

Trina: Which time?

Spencer: To be honest, I thought that Esme did it. But now, if the commissioner has evidence —

Trina: Planted evidence. You know better than anyone that I would never deliberately try to hurt Joss and Cam.

Spencer: Then why did you do it?

Jordan: Other than being at the cabin the night the video was taken, I’m not so sure Spencer was involved at all.

Laura: He seemed upset about something this morning.

Jordan: Maybe Spencer’s adjusting to leaving the system and returning to normal life.

Laura: I’d like to believe that. But then there’s his Great-Uncle Victor, who’s always ready with a helping hand.

Victor: Ah, Nikolas. Glad I found you. We need to talk about Spencer.

Nikolas: Later. Did you see Esme outside?

Victor: Oh, as a matter of fact, I did. As I was pulling in, another car was pulling out. I saw Esme in the back seat.

Nikolas: Who was driving? Which way did they go?

Esme: [ Grunts ]

Sonny: Esme. Nice of you to join me.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Sasha (to Brando): You in this?

Brando (to Sasha): Definitely.

Dante (to Chase): Where’s this coming from?

Brook Lynn (to Lucy): I’m sorry, but the answer is no.

Maxie: Let’s explore other options.

Spencer (to Trina): I want to believe you.

Scott (to Portia): This case is loaded with opportunities.

Nikolas (to Victor): Why would she just take off without a word?

Sonny: All you gotta do is confess.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Xander: You, uh, haven’t eaten much. Not hungry?

Gwen: Late luncH.

Xander: Hmm. So, um, did you get a chance to think about what we talked about earlier, coming with me to statesville?

Gwen: About going to see rolf, right. Because if he has the antidote for the drug that he created that caused sarah to lose her mind, well, then you just might get the old sarah back. And wouldn’t that be brilliant?

Maggie: [Laughs] Well, looks like you’re settling in.

Tony: The scotch is superb, maggie.

Maggie: Ah, great. Victor and i are about to retire for the evening, and I just wanted to make sure that you have everything you need.

Tony: Oh, i do, thank you.

Maggie: I know that victor has yet to welcome you.

Tony: I don’t think he ever will. I can’t imagine he’s happy about a dimera staying under his roof.

Maggie: [Clears throat] I can handle victor.

Tony: [Laughs] Like no one else.

Maggie: Mm, tony, I want to thank you again for agreeing to move in here.

Tony: Well, we all want the same thing, for sarah to be healthy again.

Maggie: Yeah. And I have to say that anna was the unsung hero in all of this. Because I know how difficult this has been for her.

Tony: It has been difficult. But she’s come to understand that we all want to do is just help sarah. And she’s totally on board with my staying here.

Anna: On board, my eye.

[Dramatic music]

[Suspenseful music]

Chad: [Sighing] Ugh. Okay.

Leo: Wait a minutE.

Chad: I thought you wanted me to get in the bed.

Leo: Oh, I do. But I got to see that ass first. Even better than i imagineD. Now, let’s get this party started.

Chloe: Mm, thank you. Look, I know what we’re doing is best for my dad, but it just kills me to know that he’s gonna have his heart broken.

Abigail: We are doing this specifically to help your dad.

Chloe: I know, I know, and I also hated dragging you and chad into this.

Abigail: Oh, no, no, you didn’t drag us. I mean, hey, like I said, gave me an opportunity to work on my acting chops, right?

Chloe: Playing the younger version of my mom. “The nancy wesley story,” where she finds out that her husband is actually attracted to men.

Brady: You pulled it off brilliantly, by the way. Leo had no ideA.

Abigail: Yeah, well, thank yoU. But now it’s chad’s turn. You know, I just hope he’s ready for his close-up.

Leo: I cannot believe this is happeninG.

Chad: Neither can I.

Leo: Don’t worry, I’m gonna be real gentle. My lovemaking philosophy is based on the ike and tina turner version of “proud mary.” We’re gonna go real nice and slow in the beginning and then finish, well, not so nice.

Chad: You know, tina turner, what a wonderful artist. What other songs of hers do you like? Do you like–

Leo: Shut up and kiss me.

Chad: Uh–

Craig: Leo?

Leo: CraiG.

Craig: What the hell is going on?

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

[Soft orchestration]

Craig: What are you doing? Who is this guy? Who are you?

Chad: Me? Nobody.

Leo: Actually, he’s chadwicK. Chadwick, this is my boyfriend, craig.

Chad: Oh, my god! I never should’ve–

Craig: What are you doing in bed with this guy?

Leo: Well, the truth is–

Chad: No, the truth is that nothing actually happened, but we were totally gonna go all the way.

Craig: Get dressed.

Chad: It’s craig, right?

Craig: Yeah. It’s craig.

Chad: Craig, I’m– I feel very bad about this. Really, I feel terriblE. The truth is I was drinking, and I sort of just showed up on leo’s doorstep, but I can’t imagine how hard this must be for you to find out that the person that you love is cheating on you. Ugh.

Chloe: The sooner we get that snake out of our lives, the better. Leo’s done enough damage and not just to my dad.

Abigail: What do you mean?

Chloe: Oh, um, I’m sorry, but my dad took your aunt, kayla’s, job at the hospitaL.

Abigail: What?

Chloe: Yeah, I guess he’s the new chief of staff at university hospital.

Abigail: Wait. Are you serious? They fired my aunt kayla?

Brady: They did. Chloe and I are convinced that when leo found out that kayla’s job was in jeopardy, he probably pushed craig to go after the job. Leo made this happen.

Xander: Judging by your attitude, you’re not particularly thrilled at the prospect of coming along with me.

Gwen: Thank you. I’m sorry about being negative beforE. It’s–

[Sighs] It’s not about sarah. I understand why you’d want to help that poor woman. I just– I’m not proud of my association with rolf. I was in a very, very– I was in a very dark place when I went to him about abigail.

Xander: Well, you’re not that person anymore.

Gwen: Which is why I don’t want to go back to that part of my life. And especially now that jack has forgiven me for my past misdeeds.

Xander: Well, just think of it this way. If you convince rolf to help sarah, then jack and the whole horton clan will be forever indebted to you for bringing sarah back to them, I mean–

Gwen: Why do you need me to come and help you with rolf? Didn’t you meet him nashville? You probably have a better relationship with him than I do.

Xander: Yeah, but it’s not a particularly good onE. I mean, he hates my guts. Gwen, of course I understand why you’d be reluctant to come along with me and, I mean, it’s obviously gonna bring up all these bad memories. And obviously, i realize that, um– well, I’d be a fool not to, wouldn’t I?

Gwen: What do you realize?

Xander: That you don’t want sarah to get better.

Tony: Anna, what are you doing here?

Anna: Well, what does it look like, darling? I’ve come to take you home.

Tony: But i thought we agreed.

Anna: Yeah, well, I changed my mind.

Maggie: I’ll give you two privacy to discuss this.

Sarah as renee: Really, anna? Isn’t it bad enough that you’re squatting in the dimera family mansion? Now you’re stalking us?

Anna: I have come to take my husband home where he belongs.

Sarah as renee: I’ll handle this, darling. I know this must be difficult for you, anna, but it’s time that you realize that what you thought you had with tony is oveR. He and I are finally back together, and tonight we’re gonna prove it in every way imaginable.

[Dramatic music]

Abigail: I mean, not only is my aunt a brilliant doctor, she’s totally beloved at that hospital, and they just fired her without warning?

Brady: Actually, they did warn her.

Abigail: I don’t understand. What could aunt kayla have possibly done to deserve to lose her job?

Brady: Abby, she refused to fire marlena.

Abigail: What?

Chloe: Yeah, the hospital board was pressuring kayla to fire marlena ’cause of the whole devil possession situation.

Brady: A lot of patients were filing complaints.

Abigail: Oh, my god. That didn’t even occur to me. What a horrible position for kayla to be in.

Brady: And when she didn’t comply, the board decided to go ahead and get another chief of staff that would do the dirty work.

Abigail: Unbelievable. So you both think that it was leo who put craig up to putting his hat in the ring or whatever?

Chloe: I think we’re pretty sure of iT.

Abigail: Such a nightmare. Although, it sounds like aunt kayla would’ve lost her job no matter what, which is totally awful and unfair. I just hope that we hear from chad soon.

Brady: Yeah. Well, look, it’s getting late, and I have a little girl that i need to tuck in. So do you want to come over to my place and we can wait on word there on operation oust leo?

Chloe: Yeah, I’d love that, and I’d love to give that little girl a smooch myself.

Abigail: Well, I promise that I will call you as soon as I hear that your dad has kicked leo to the curb.

Chloe: Thank you.

Brady: Bye.

Abigail: Bye.

[Sighs]

Chad: Leo said that you were at work. I certainly did not intend for you to walk in on us.

Leo: Maybe you didn’t, but I did.

Chad: You did? What are you talking about?

Leo: I texted my boo to come home. Isn’t that right, sweetheart?

Craig: “Come home quick,” he wrote, “I have a surprise for you.”

Chad: When did you do that?

Leo: When I went to the bathroom to change.

Chad: Why did you do that?

Leo: Come on now, chadwick. You didn’t really think we were gonna have sex without my boyfriend joining us, did you?

Gwen: How dare you.

Xander: How dare I what?

Gwen: How dare you make me out to be like I’m the bad one here, xander? I mean, like I’m the reason that sarah’s running around town believing that she’s some long-dead dimera heiress. That is all on my sister.

Xander: I never said you were to blame, gwen. I’m just saying that it feels a little like maybe you don’t want to help me help sarah.

Gwen: And why would I do be in such a rush to help you? So that sarah can go back to her fabulous, old wonderful self, and then the two of you can just get back together and live happily ever after? Because that is the plan, isn’t it?

Sarah as renee: Tony and i are reunited, anna. It’s time for you to face the facts.

Anna: Well, i have a few facts for you, dearie. Like for starters, you are not–

Tony: Anna! That’s enough. Maggie, do you mind if you could give us a few moments alone so we can talk?

Sarah as renee: You can’t be alone with this lunatic.

Anna: Oh, I’m the lunatic? Really? I’m the one doing the third-rate impersonation of a dead woman?

Maggie: Renee, it’s a glorious night. The moon is full and i’d love for you to see the garden. Why don’t you come out with me?

Tony: Yes, why don’t you? Just for a few minutes. Would you do that for me, dear?

Sarah as renee: Fine. But when i come back, you had better be gone.

Tony: What’s the matter with you, anna? I thought we had an understanding that I would stay here to help. Instead, no sooner do I leave the house, you come bursting in here loaded for bear.

Anna: Because you don’t belong here, tony. You belong with me. And I know I agreed to this ridiculous arrangement, but once i had a chance to think about it, I could– I realized just how unfair it really is.

Tony: Anna, listen to me. Actually, you know this already. But I’ll say it once again in the hopes that it’ll actually register. My living arrangements here are temporary to keep sarah stable so they can finally cure her from her break from reality.

Anna: And what if they never find a cure, tony? That woman believes that she is renee dumonde with every fiber of her being. And god help me, in spite of her lousy impersonation, she gets under my skin like– like only the real renee could.

Tony: But, anna, you have to be the rational one herE. She’s a scared, fragile young woman who needs our help.

Anna: Yeah, well, that scared, fragile young woman wants to take away my husband. And I will not just be passive and polite about it.

Tony: Oh, for heaven’s sake, anna! I’m not gonna go to bed with sarah horton. And the fact that you have the slightest fear that I would is not only insulting to my loyalty, my integrity, but also my intelligence. So for god’s sake, just trust me, will you? And go homE.

Anna: Fine. I’ll go home. Yes. And I’ll spend my evening wondering why my husband is spending his evening with some other womaN. And a lunatic at that.

[Dramatic music]

Xander: Gwen, I realize how difficult this must be for you.

Gwen: I fell in love with you, xander. And you completely changed my life. Now, it feels like you are slipping awaY.

Xander: I’m not slipping away; I’m right here. Come oN. Listen to me, gwen. You and I found each other when the whole world turned its back on us, and we held on to each other. That kind of connection doesn’t come along often.

Gwen: I’m sure our connection just pales in comparison to the epic love story of xander cook and sarah horton. Hm? The devilish rogue and the noble, beautiful doctor.

Xander: Don’t do that. Don’t make light of what you and I sharE. It’s every bit as real as what sarah and I shared. I love you. Gwen, you have to believe that.

Gwen: I want to believe that. I really want to believe that, but it’s very difficult when, in practically the same breath, you are asking me to help you get your old fiancée back. Well, I am your fiancée now. I am your fiancée, xander. And you are still avoiding the question. What happens if–when– when sarah gets better? Will you still want to marry me? Or will you want to marry her?

Tony: Oh, you’re back from the touR. How was it?

Sarah as renee: Oh, lovely, if you like looking at flowers and twigs in the darK. I’m very happy to see you got rid of anna.

Tony: Ah, yes, she left.

Sarah as renee: Hm. Maggie, I really must thank you for your hospitality. And I promise that tony and i will not overstay our welcomE. As soon as our lawyer extracts anna fredericks from the dimera mansion, then we will reclaim what’s ours. Now, if you don’t mind, tony and I would like some time alonE.

Maggie: Ah– [Clears throat] Well, okay. Um, I mean, if– if it’s all right with tony.

Sarah as renee: If it’s all right with him? Why would you think it isn’t?

Tony: Why, indeed? It’s fine with me.

Maggie: Okay then. Well, good night. Hope all goes well.

Sarah as renee: Thank god. I thought she was gonna suggest a round of hot cocoa. When i have something much better in minD.

Brady: Here you go.

Chloe: Thank you. And thank you for letting me wait here with you. The idea of running into my dad at the salem inn right now–

Brady: You’re afraid he’s gonna blame you for leo and chad, right?

Chloe: Ugh, you should’ve seen how upset he was with me earlier. I mean, he accused me of lying and scheming, and he’s right.

Brady: You’re doing it all for his own good, okay?

Chloe: Well, the way he looks at it is that I’m interfering, and it’s none of my business.

Brady: I know, chloe. He’s ticked off right now. But right now he is actually learning who leo stark really is. And eventually, he’s gonna be eternally grateful to you for loving him enough to look out for him.

Chloe: I hope you’re righT.

Brady: I am right. I know I’m grateful to you.

Chloe: Why?

Brady: Why? Let me see. You really have to ask? You have been there for me, right by my side through my worst moments and my best moments, and you’re my constant. I can’t imagine my life without you.

[Tender music]

Craig: So you want all three of us to–

Leo: Have sex. Yes. It was the funniest thing. I was having dinner by my lonesome. There’s a knock at the door. Voila. It’s chadwick. Three sheets to the wind and begging me to sleep with him.

Chad: I didn’t beg.

Leo: He begged. I almost felt embarrassed for the guY. Obviously, my instinct was to kick him out. There is only one man for me, and that is you, craig wesleY. But he was so insistent, so desperate to get into our bed. And then I started thinking about you and how new you are to all of this and I thought, “wait a minute. Chadwick could be like a present.”

Chad: A present?

Leo: Wrapped up in a bow. A gift from me to the man I lovE. Okay, no, no, no. You don’t have to say anything. But I promise you will thank me later.

Craig: I just–I never–

Leo: Of course you haven’T. Of course you haven’T. That’s what you have me for, to help you explorE. And I promise this will bring us closer together, if that is even possible. So gentlemen, what do you say? We ready for our three-way?

Brady: Whoa, whoa, whoa. What’s wrong?

Chloe: Uh, nothing. I’m just– what if your dad walks in like he did last time?

Brady: Chloe, he’s probably asleep.

Chloe: Okay, what about marlena? Or what if they want a snack or a glass of water or something?

Brady: Then they come out here and they catch us making out on the couch like a couple of teenagers, big deal.

Chloe: I would be very embarrassed.

Brady: Really?

Chloe: Yeah.

Brady: Okay, okay. Well, you know, there’s my room.

Chloe: Oh, your room?

Brady: I want to be with you. I want to be with you noW. But if i’m moving too fast–

Chloe: No, you’re not.

Brady: Really?

Chloe: Really.

Craig: I–I have never thought of something like this, but I have heard that there are couples who do this–

Leo: Sounds like a yes to me!

Chad: Yep, nope, that’s it. I’m out. That’s it. This thing–I’m out.

Leo: What’s the problem? What’s the problem? I thought you wanted to hook up.

Chad: No, not with the both of you.

Leo: Why not? Don’t you find craig attractive?

Chad: No! I mean, sorry. YeS. You– you’re a–you’re a fine– you’re a fine-looking per–man. It’s just that I–

Leo: It’s just what, chad? It’s not what you expected, because you and your wife set this whole thing up to trick me into cheating on my boyfriend?

Anna: Ahh!

Abigail: Anna! Oh, my god! Are you all right?

Anna: Oh, I’m sorry.

Abigail: What is it? Is everything okay?

Anna: With me, yes. I’m great. Perfect. I was just clearing my throat.

Abigail: No. You were screaming. So what, did something happen with tony?

Anna: Do not mention that man’s name to me!

Abigail: This has to do with sarah, right?

Anna: No, this is about renee dumonde, who came between tony and me almost 40 years ago. And silly me, I thought her being dead would mean she’s out of our liveS. But no such luck. That woman is back and after my husband again.

Tony: Sarah–renee, I hope you didn’t think that–

Sarah as renee: Oh, i know. I know, that annoying maggie horton could come back any moment wanting to show me her figurines collections. So let’s go upstairs to our bedroom.

Tony: Didn’t maggie tell you? I asked for separate rooms.

Sarah as renee: Separate rooms? Why would you do that?

Tony: Because of anna.

Sarah as renee: Anna? I thought that you were done with that woman. I thought that you wanted to be with me. Isn’t– isn’t that why you’re here?

Xander: GweN. When we got together, I thought sarah had dumped me for her ex, that she– that she didn’t want me anymore, she hated me.

Gwen: Now we know that that wasn’t the case.

Xander: No, it wasn’T. She was drugged and kidnapped.

Gwen: And presumably still very much in love with you. And that changes everything, doesn’t it? For you, for us.

Xander: I don’t know. I– I wish I did. And I do not blame you for being upset. But I have to see this through. I have to at least try and help sarah. Look, don’t worry about coming with me to statesville. I shouldn’t have asked. I’ll go alonE.

Tony: Of course I want to be with you.

Sarah as renee: Then why are you so concerned about anna?

Tony: Because anna and i are still married. And if she finds out that i’ve been unfaithful, she’ll use it in the divorce. She’ll take me to the cleaners.

Sarah as renee: So? Who cares? I’m rich enough for the both of us. Or have you forgotten that i am the sole heir to stefano’s estate?

Tony: Oh. Oh, yeah. Yeah. There is that.

Sarah as renee: You see? Money’s not gonna be a problem for us. So let’s go hit the sack.

Abigail: Well, sarah must have really absorbed what she read in renee’s diary.

Anna: Boy, did she. And all of the diaries to get ahold oF. Couldn’t she have found, I don’t know, maybe dorothy parker’s diary and turned herself into somebody who made us all laugH. But no, she had to become renee dumonde, bitch on wheels, who never gave tony and me a moment’s peace. And now I fear this version of her won’t either.

Abigail: I’m so sorry.

Anna: Yeah, well, hey, I guess I just have to suck it up, right? Especially since tony is taking the high road and– and trying to help. But abigail, it makes me so angry and jealous and all sorts of feelings that I don’t want to havE.

Abigail: Well, hopefully you won’t have to feel them for very lonG.

Anna: I hope so too, obviouslY. And I’m sorry, enough about me. What’s going with you? Where’s chad tonight?

Abigail: Oh, he’s– he’s out right now. He–well– he is pretending to want to have sex with someone he despises in order to help out our friends.

Anna: What?

Abigail: It’s a long story. I don’t think you really need to know it.

Anna: Okay. Wow.

[Chuckles] Wow. If stefano could see his sons now, selflessly helping others instead of plotting world domination.

Leo: Kind of a scream, really, you and the wifey giving me a front row seat to that little act of yours. “You haven’t touched me in months, chad!” And for her encore, greta garbo–i mean abigail dimera came to me and begged me not to sleep with chad no matter how badly he wanted it. Kind of overplayed it, chewed the scenery, as they saY.

Chad: Shut up, abigail’s a great actress.

Leo: It’s hard to believe, but chad has never appreciated all that I have to offer. So your plan was a bust from the beginning. Unless, of course, you want to stay. We could absolutely salvage the eveninG.

Chad: Get out of my way.

Craig: Wait a minute. You–you don’t know me. You have no stake in whether I stay with leo or not, so why are you doing this? Why–why do you care? What’s in it for you?

Leo: Maybe deep down, chad was hoping something really would happen tonight.

Chad: No, what I was hoping for was to show you what a dirtbag he is. Look, craig, I’m really sorry about all this. I did it as a favor for friends, people I care about, who care about what happens to you so much that they would be willing to do anything to try to open your eyes about this con artist. Look, if you’re not willing– if you’re not willing to see who he really is, then it’s on you.

Leo: Said the guy who knocked up his children’s nanny.

Chad: Get out while you still can.

Craig: Damn it.

Leo: Who are you calling?

Craig: My daughter. Obviously, she has something to do with this.

[Tender music]

Sarah as renee: I’ve dreamt of this for so long, tony. Waking up with the sun to make love.

Tony: Uh, yes. Wait.

Sarah as renee: What?

Tony: Wait. Well, it’s not actually about the moneY. It’s anna and her temper. She–oh, she gets so jealous. If she finds out about this– and she will, she’ll drag this out in the court forever. And she’ll– well, neither of us wants that, now do we?

Sarah as renee: We’ve already waited for years.

Tony: Yes, but if we can be patient just a little longer, oh, we can have whatever we want.

Sarah as renee: Patience isn’t exactly my strong suit. But if it means that we can get rid of anna fredericks for good, I’ll try.

Tony: [Chuckles] That’s my girl.

Sarah as renee: [Chuckles]

[Dramatic music]

Anna: Well, I’m off to bed. Not that i will get much sleep, thinking about sarah chasing tony around the kiriakis mansion.

[Cellphone beeps]

[Gasps] It’s from tony. He says he never loved another woman as much as he loves me. And he’s counting the seconds until he can return to me.

Abigail: See? I told you, you have nothing to worry about. Now, if I could just hear from my husband, huh?

Chad: Great. Hi.

Gwen: Hey. You all right? You look a bit, um–

Chad: I’m fine. Thanks. Never better.

Xander: Oh, hey, I’m planning to make a trip to statesville to see rolf. I was just wondering if you have any, you know, pointers on how to handle him right now.

Chad: Is this about finding out if he has the antidote for the drug that kristen gave to sarah?

Xander: You know?

Chad: I dO. Actually, abby and i were already planning to visit hiM.

Xander: Chad, that’s greaT. That’s fantastic.

Chad: Yeah, well, just so you know, we’re doing this for sarah. We couldn’t help chloe, so maybe at least we can help her.

Xander: Chloe?

Chad: Never mind.

Leo: You can’t call chloe, not while you’re this upset.

Craig: Why are you so calm? Chloe and her friends have done nothing but harass you, and now they–they send this chad guy to seduce you? I’m sorry you had to go through this.

Leo: I’m sorry too. You have no idea how much.

Xander: Oh, this is– this is great news. If anyone can get rolf to give up the antidote, it’s stefano’s baby boy. This is just the break we needed– I’ve done it again, haven’t I? I’m sorry, gwen.

Gwen: No, it’s okay. Really, it’s fine. I’m glad that chad can help you.

Xander: Do you mean that?

Gwen: I dO. And if for some reason chad can’t get through to rolf, then i’ll give it a go.

Xander: Really?

Gwen: Not for sarah. But I would do it for you.

[Soft dramatic music]

Brady: That– that was worth the waiT.

[Cellphone beeps] Ignore it. Ignore it.

Chloe: No, no, what if it’s one of the kiddos?

[Sighs] Oh. It’s from chad.

Brady: What happened?

Chloe: Ugh, leo happeneD.

Brady: What do you mean?

Chloe: I guess leo figured out it was a trap.

Brady: Oh, damn it. Really?

Chloe: [Sighs] Yeah. He tried to cover his tracks by texting my dad and pretending like he wanted him to walk in on him and chad. Oh, my god. My dad’s gonna be furious at me. And this whole plan with leo didn’t even work. Ugh.

Abigail: You’re homE. How did it go?

Chad: Well, if you consider almost having your first gay threesome a win, then it was a smashing success.

Craig: I’m sorry, i hope you don’t think I’m a prude.

Leo: For being hesitant about a threesome? Well, then i’m a prude too because I am strictly a one-man kind of guy. And you’re all the man i need. I only threw it out there to call chad’s bluff.

Craig: We should sue his ass.

Leo: Something like that.

Craig: Yeah, I–I– I just don’t– I just don’t think you should have to endure all this because you chose to be with me. I’m–i’m sick of it.

Leo: I am too. But it’s obvious chloe’s not gonna stop.

Craig: No, it doesn’t look that way.

Leo: I just wish that there was some way I could convince her that this is the real deal, that I am a new man because of you and because of our love, and I am in this for the long haul.

Craig: There is something you can do.

Leo: What?

Craig: Marry me.

Steffy: Sheila, you can’t lie your way out of what I saw with my very own eyes. You and thomas in the alley, behind il giardino. Now what possible reason is there for that? Answer me! What were you doing with my brother?

Ridge: Well, that came out of nowhere.

Thomas: Out of nowhere? What? I want you to be happy. What’s strange about that?

Ridge: Nothing, you said it’s your turn to look out for me. What does that mean?

Eric: This is a precarious situation for you and you’re scared. I get it. You have a right to be. But you and ridge have been through worse than this. You have. I can’t believe this is the end.

Brooke: I certainly hope you’re right, eric. Ridge and I have been through so much, and it just can’t end this way. It can’T.

Brooke: How am I in a place where I could lose my husband over deacon? And this is a man I don’t care about, except that we share a child together. And if it weren’t for hope, he wouldn’t be in my life. I mean, he hasn’t been for years.

Eric: I know. Look, brooke, we cannot change the things that have happened. We can’t, but what we can have an influence on– on the future of things that are going to happen. Look, you love ridge and he loves you. He always will. He always has. Now, as long as one person believes in a relationship, as long as one person fights for it, it won’t be over.

Thomas: You, uh, you deserve to be happy, right? And– and if there’s any way i can contribute to that, I will, I mean, I owe you that.

Ridge: You owe me that because I’m your dad? And I– I did that for free.

Thomas: No, I– I know. Um– look, it’s just– look brooke’s hurt you in the past, but you also still care about her very much. But I know that you also care about mom and I see you guys together and you have this amazing bond and a calming effect on each other.

Ridge: I know what you’re saying. Brooke, let me down and– and I’d be better off with your mother.

Sheila: I’m not really sure what you’re getting at. Thomas and me?

Steffy: Don’t even try, sheila, I saw you. What possible explanation do you have for holding some kind of secret meeting with my brother?

Sheila: You make it sound like it– it’s so dramatic.

Steffy: Stop dodging.

Sheila: Did you ask thomas?

Steffy: I’m asking you. I want answers now. For copd,

Eric: Don’t lose track of what’s between you. It’s stronger than what you’re facing right now. You got to stay the course.

Brooke: I broke it. I’ve got to fix it.

Eric: You broke it, you got to fix it, that’s right.

Brooke: Okay, okay, I’m willing to do whatever it takes to keep my marriage together. It’s just hard. He’s over there living at steffy’s, and I just feel like steffy and thomas and taylor– they’re just– whether it’s intentional or not, they’re doing whatever they can to pull him away from me.

Eric: Well, don’t get don’t get thrown off by that. Don’t let that bother you. All right? Just believe that you’re going to be back together.

Brooke: I just can’t believe this is happening. We were so happy, I mean, we’d wake up every morning, thrilled to be together, happy that all of our problems were behind us and they were, until I did what I did.

Eric: Yeah well, you weren’t yourself that night.

Brooke: Yeah. Well, then who was I? Who was that stupid woman that sacrificed everything and for what? I just feel like there’s something– something more.

Eric: More?

Brooke: I just feel like there’s this outside force that is doing whatever it possibly can to keep ridge and me apart.

Taylor: Okay, that’s enough. Enough with this whole parent trap thing. Okay?

Thomas: Who me?

Taylor: Yes, you. I– I heard your father when I walked in, he said, “I think you want me to be with your mother.”

Thomas: Yes. So sue me. I do. Yes, I’ve been honest about that. I want you guys together. Sure.

Taylor: But that is our decision to make, if and when we decide to make that decision, and we don’t need our children jumping in and trying to make that decision for us. Thank you.

Ridge: You know, we’ve been grown-ups a long time.

Taylor: Yeah, I mean, we’ve, we’ve been trying anyway.

Ridge: You’ve been trying.

Taylor: You’ve been trying. Just– just ease up, okay?

Ridge: Or maybe just let him do what he’s doing because there are worse things in life than spending time with you.

Taylor: Well, that’s really sweet. See, romance isn’t dead. There are worse things.

Ridge: Still got it. I, um– I have a video call to make, so I gotta try and figure that out. Keep an eye on him.

Thomas: All right. Uh, so obviously, I was right, I was dead on.

Taylor: About what?

Thomas: About you and dad, you’re perfect for each other. Come on, don’t try and deny it.

Taylor: You know, it’s really funny. There– you’re not the only one who thinks that ridge and I belong together.

Thomas: Well, yeah. Steffy has been by my side on this the whole time.

Taylor: Well, yes, your sister has definitely made it abundantly clear what her position is, but no, someone else. Someone, someone unexpected.

Thomas: Who?

Taylor: Sheila.

Sheila: Okay, ya caught me, so you saw me with thomas, so it doesn’t make any sense to say you didn’T.

Steffy: Lying, you mean? That’s good, at least we’re making progress. So why were you having a private conversation with my brother?

Sheila: Is that really so hard to understand? You and your family are extremely important to me, finn is my son, the father to your son. Hayes is– is my flesh and blood, it’s my bloodline.

Steffy: Don’t remind me.

Sheila: Well, you might not like it, but it doesn’t change the fact, hayes is my grandson. You– you might want to try to wish that away, I wish that you wouldn’T. I wish you’d accept me for the woman that I am today, or– or at least give me an opportunity to prove that to you the way that your mother has. There’s only one thing I want in this entire world, and that is to have a life with finn and hayes.

Steffy: And where exactly does thomas fit in?

Sheila: Thomas has influence over you, and I thought that if– if I could show him that– that I really am good, that he’d have a chance at convincing you.

Steffy: He can’T.

Sheila: Then I’ll find another way because I won’t give up on my family. And that’s exactly what you are, steffy. I get choked up even thinking about it, family. I finally belong to one. I love you all so very much.

Steffy: And that scares me more than anything. Hi, I’m karen.

Ridge: No, you’re right, that’s what we’ll do. All right, good work.

[ Computer dinging ]

Steffy: This feels right. We feel like a family again.

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: Oh, you remember what your mom used to say? It’s not a family moment–

All: Without a family hug.

Thomas: Right, right.

Brooke: I love you and I miss you. So just please, please come home.

[ Door clicking ]

Ridge: Hey.

Brooke: Hi. I had to see you.

Ridge: I’m glad you’re here.

Thomas: Okay, so you’ve been talking to sheila.

Taylor: Well, I’ve been– I’ve been listening, she talks.

Thomas: Okay, so… um, how did this happen?

Taylor: Well, you know, I–I told you that sheila’s been coming by the office, it’s just been happening more frequently.

Thomas: For how long?

Taylor: Since I got my new office? Look, I think she just– she wants an ally in her campaign, so that finn and hayes will be in her life, and– and she knows how much that I want to believe she’s changed and I think she’s trying to prove it to me.

Thomas: Yeah, mom, I don’t like the idea of you being alone with sheila.

Taylor: Oh honey, I got it. It’s okay. I mean, I– she’s a fascinating case study. She really is.

Thomas: A serial killer is a great case study, but you don’t put yourselves in a cage with them, like–

Taylor: Honey, this is my job. It’s– it’s pretty interesting to watch her wheels turning all the time. Good or evil? That’s– that’s the question. You know?

Thomas: Yeah, as it is with psychopaths, okay, um. You said that that she likes the idea of you being with dad?

Taylor: She thinks that ridge and I belong together, and she doesn’t think that brooke deserves ridge. But I– I think that it’s her animosity towards brooke that’s fueling all of this. I told her to keep that in check and not to lash out. I also told her that no matter where we are with brooke, whether we’re at odds or not, that we will stand behind brooke against sheila any day of the week. I think she understands that, I hope she does.

Sheila: Steffy, the last thing I want to do is scare you, you’re my daughter-in-law.

Steffy: Do not touch me.

Sheila: I love you. Your entire family.

Steffy: Oh my god, I don’t wanna hear it anymore, you’re never going to be welcome in my family.

Sheila: Look, I realize that I have a ways to prove myself, but I will. I’ll earn a place in finn and hayes’ lives. You know, I–I really look forward to the day that that you trust me enough that maybe I could even take my grandson to the park or the beach.

Steffy: Are you delusional? You’re never gonna be alone with my son.

Sheila: Well, you may feel that way right now, but I’m going to work on that and– you know, I’m going to work hard and put in the time so that you feel comfortable having me around.

Steffy: I’m never going to feel comfortable. So you might as well make your way back to genoa city.

Sheila: Do you see this? This is proof. Proof that I’ve changed. And the old me would have been insulted ten minutes ago and lashed out at you, but no, here I stand with an open heart willing to take whatever you dish out so that I can– I can be accepted in the family that I am a part of. Steffy, I’m an asset to you. You have no idea the friend that I’ve already been to you and your mother.

Steffy: You’re never going to be a friend, sheila. If you want to do something, you can stay away. From me, finn, thomas, my son. My mother. Just stay the hell away.

Sheila: If only you knew what I have done! Ooh, you would be a lot nicer to me, steffy. S and you being in that big house all alone. And everything tha

Ridge: You know, I’ve been thinking about you. I’ve been thinking about us. And everything that’s happened and how bad this timing is. Everything that you’re going through and– and me being at steffy’s and you being in that big house all alone. I’m– I’m concerned about you, I want you to be okay.

Brooke: I want us to be okay and I wanted to try to fix the mistake that I made, and instead of doing that, I ended up making another mistake. The gift that keeps on giving, I guess,

Ridge: What do you– what do you– I don’t–

Brooke: Well, I, um, I told you that you could have a divorce, which is not what I want, ridge. I was just saying that because I thought maybe that was something that would make you happy, but you know what? I take it all back. I do. I take it all back. I don’t want that. I want you to come home, come on, you are my husband. And that’s where you belong. You don’t have to stay in the bedroom, you can stay in the guest wing, but I need you home with me to work this out. It’s– it’s important.

Ridge: It’s important– what do you mean?

Brooke: It’s important, ridge, because I– I take full responsibility. I do, for everything that I did, but I just feel there’s something else. I can’t explain it. I just I feel like there’s this outside force that– that’s trying to tear us apart and we can’t let that happen. This can’t be our fate.

[ Phone dialing ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Thomas: Hey, you can’t call me whenever you feel like it. All right? I’m at work. You know, forrester creations, named forrester like ridge forrester, someone who cannot know about the secret we’re keeping.

Sheila: There’s something that you need to know.

Thomas: Um– I’m on a call. What’s up?

Man: Sorry, I thought carter was in here.

Thomas: No worries.

Man: Any idea where I might find him?

Thomas: He actually stepped off campus for a meeting. Anything else?

Man: Nope, I’m good.

Thomas: Okay. Yes. I’m back.

Sheila: I have a very unpleasant visit today.

Thomas: Yeah, well, I’ve had a rather unpleasant couple of days, at least, keeping your secret. It’s weighing on me, sheila. This doesn’t feel right.

Sheila: Thomas.

Thomas: No, sheila, you listen to me. I don’t think that keeping this secret is the right move.

Sheila: Oh, so you suffer a little, but, you remember why you’re doing this, to clear a way for a future between taylor and ridge. Your parents can be together again, and I know that that’s something that you and steffy have wanted for a very long time.

Thomas: Yeah, look, I’m not going to deny it. Obviously, I want my parents together, they’re perfect for each other. Every time that they’re in the room, they light each other’s lives.

Sheila: Yeah, well, they have a real chance. At a life together that brooke took away from them, all you have to do is stay quiet and just let things play out.

Thomas: You know, before i found out about what really happened, I thought, “there’s no way my parents don’t end up together.” But after what you did to brooke, it was evil, it was disgusting, diabolical. You made brooke think that she was drinking nonalcoholic champagne, you switched to bottle labels. She was drinking real booze, which led her to then drinking vodka, which led her to making out with deacon, and spending the night. Brooke has a disease. She’s an alcoholic, okay? She didn’t drink on her own. You sabotaged her. You poisoned her. And that kiss with deacon, that never would have happened, if she hadn’t been drinking. You were pulling all the strings.

Sheila: Am I supposed to feel sorry?

Thomas: Brooke has been in a living hell. She still has no idea what possessed her to drink that night. It was you, manipulating everyone and you expect me to keep this secret? You’re the one tearing apart my father’s marriage, so you can try and have a place in steffy and finn’s lives.

Review of “Rick and Morty: Season 5” [Blu-ray Steelbook]

DVD Review!

“Rick and Morty: Season 5 [Blu-ray Steelbook]” Review by Suzanne 3/29/22

This is not my favorite cartoon. To me, the humor is juvenile and the art is even worse. I know that a lot of people love it, though (and not just kids). This steelbook Blu-ray version is really nice and should last a long time. It has a beautiful cover as well.

The features are worth talking about. There are ten episodes and many special features. Anyone who loves this show will go ga-ga over this kick-ass edition. Besides the Blu-ray, there is also a code, so you can watch it online. It’s definitely worth getting this, as well as the other version that has seasons 1-5, if you’re a fan of the show or a collector.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nick: I wish we’d hear something.

Victor: Be patient, son.

Nick: [ Sighs ] I’m trying, dad.

Victor: What happened to your sister last night must be utterly devastating and traumatizing. What ashland locke has done to your sister is going to take a long time to get over.

Nikki: Yes, your father is right. It’s important that we give her this time to sort through her feelings, although I was really hoping that I would hear from her assistant by now. Let us know she’s in the office.

Nick: We don’t know if she’s gonna go into work today.

Nikki: Yes, she will. She’s a lot like your father in that regard. Focusing on work has gotten her through many heartbreaks in the past.

Nick: We don’t know if she can use work as a distraction, you know, thanks to ashland. He is co-owner of newman/locke. He’s co-ceo.

Victor: I will promise you that ain’t gonna last very long. We’re gonna cut that bastard out of our family and out of the family business.

Nikki: In a way that protects victoria’s dignity and privacy.

Victor: Of course, that goes without saying.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Nick: What’s wrong?

Victor: My security team just saw victoria at crimson lights, and ashland locke has joined her.

Ashland: Victoria, I…

[ Chuckles ] I just thank god, I’m so relieved I found you. I was…I was hoping that you would come home last night so we could talk.

Victoria: Why? What would be the point? You just declared that you weren’t gonna try anymore to save our marriage.

Ashland: Words that i regretted the moment I said them. But I would think you already know that, assuming you read my texts.

Victoria: I did.

Ashland: But you didn’t respond. B-because you believe what your family is saying about me.

Victoria: Well, what am i supposed to believe? You’ve offered me no explanation, no defense whatsoever.

Ashland: I chose, in the moment, to not dignify their insulting accusations, but I do think I gave you something you could believe in. I told you how much I love you, how much I need you. And I’m sure you could see that came straight from my heart.

Chance: [ Imitates engine ] Whoa! Here we go, dom! Off daddy’s arm, onto the couch, and [Imitates engine] Here it comes, the magical flying car coming in for a landing.

[ Imitates brakes squealing ]

[ Laughs ] Ahh, that’s fun, huh, man? You like that? Yeah? I’ll tell you what, man, by the time you’re driving, there will probably be flying cars. Yeah, how about that?

Abby: Wow, sounds very exciting. Dominic has a lot of amazing things to look forward to.

Chance: Check it out, dom. Mommy’s coming to play with us. Hey, mommy.

Abby: [ Laughs ] Well, it looks like you guys are having so much fun. Why don’t I make a snack?

Chance: Oh, boy, a snack. What do you think, man? You ready to chow down? “That’s a big affirmative, mommy.”

Abby: [ Laughs ] Coming right up.

[ Laughs ]

Chance: Here it comes. We’re off into the takeoff. It’s flying through the air. It’s incredible. Here it comes.

[ Imitates engine ]

Nick: Damn it, I bet you ashland is stalking her.

Victor: Okay, we need to get over there.

Nick: Alright, let’s go.

Nikki: Alright, wait a minute, wait a minute. Before we go rushing over to her defense, let’s think about this.

Nick: What is there to think about?

Nikki: As much as we hate the idea of ashland being anywhere near her, she’s not in any danger. She’s in a public place. She can handle herself, and if there is a problem, your man is standing by ready to intervene.

Nick: We don’t know what her frame of mind is. If she is vulnerable, ashland will take advantage of that.

Nikki: I know, but if we go in there like the cavalry, she’s gonna resent it, and then ashland will take advantage of that.

Victor: Son, just go over there and check it out, please.

Nikki: Alright, look, whatever you do, please don’t make a scene.

Nick: Don’t worry, I’ll finesse things.

Nikki: Thank you.

Nick: And I promise you I’m not gonna hit him, as much as i want to.

Nikki: Oh, good thinking.

Victor: [ Sighs ]

Nikki: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: I heard every word that you said. But what I saw in your eyes told a different story. I saw fear. And I saw desperation. Where was that coming from?

Ashland: I welcome the chance to discuss that with you, but… not here, please. Can we just go home?

Victoria: Answer the question.

Billy: Give him hell, vick. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Victoria: I have never seen you run scared from my family before.

Ashland: I didn’t run scared. I saw what your family was doing to you with their constant harassment. They were pouring poison into your mind, and there was nothing I could do to fight it. I can’t answer their questions because I don’t know yet who’s setting me up.

Victoria: Is that really still your excuse, that you’re being framed?

Ashland: Yeah! Because I am.

Victoria: Some unknown person erased all evidence of your cancer records here in the us and then bribed doctors in some clinic in peru, and then linked the payments to one of your divisions to make it look like you were behind it?

Ashland: Victoria, I have made so many enemies over the years. It could be any number of people, but without solid facts to defend myself, how could you possibly expect me to stand up against your parents, your brothers, your family, your friends?

[ Sighs ] Not to mention — was I supposed to isolate you from the people who care about you the most? I couldn’t do that. That wasn’t right.

Victoria: Oh, so you did this for my sake.

Ashland: Yeah, it was a difficult moment. My thinking was muddled, but, yes, my instinct was to protect you. It always is. And — and I have no doubt that you did see desperation in my eyes, because I was about to lose the woman I love, the woman who has stood by me and fought for me, even when we thought i had nothing to fight for. It was one thing for you to stand by me fighting my cancer, but for you to go to war with your entire family? I couldn’t ask you to do that.

Victoria: So you’re saying that I’m the problem, because of my lack of faith in you.

Ashland: Exactly the opposite. I don’t blame you for being influenced by their doubts.

Victoria: This has nothing to do with anyone influencing me.

Ashland: O– okay. That was a poor choice of words. I apologize. Let me start again. I know better than anyone what a strong-willed, independent woman you are. But this so-called evidence against me would be too much for anyone to ignore.

Ashland: Now, I-I am determined to find out who’s setting me up and to show you that I am still the man you fell in love with. Who loves you with all his heart and soul.

Victoria: If you lied to me about being sick, then you don’t really love me.

Ashland: You said “if.” Is there still some part of you that trusts me enough to know that I would never do anything like that to you?

Billy: No. Victoria, do not let him get away with this.

Chance: Oh, it’s coming down!

[ Groans ] I could hear my team inside. And they were yelling. That hurt much worse than the shrapnel in my leg, I’ll tell you. Some of the toughest people i know screaming for their lives. I couldn’t move. Felt pretty worthless. After that, there was just silence. And I knew what that meant. I got on my feet. I looked for survivors, you know, calling out names, digging through the rubble, but I got nothing. The bastards that did it showed up looking for survivors, as well. I played dead until they left… surrounded by my friends’ bodies, and I hid. Why did I survive when they didn’t? Why me?

[ Breathing heavily ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

Ashland: Thank you for taking this time with me. You didn’t have to. I’m sure you’d rather be at the office right now, running our company.

Victoria: I know I can count on my mom to handle things until I get in.

Ashland: Did you stay at the ranch last night?

Victoria: I needed time to think.

Billy: Stop, stop, stop. Victoria’s talking to ashland. Do not interrupt them. I’m hoping she’s about to throw that hot cup of coffee in his face.

Nick: How much do you know?

Billy: Everything. She told me everything. I have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.

Abby: Snack time.

Chance: Oh, boy. Did you hear that, dom? It’s snack time. I tell you what, you do not know how good you got it, man. Your mom is the best. And she’s beautiful — look at her. And fun, and she is a great cook, I’ll tell you what.

Abby: Oh, yes, it takes great culinary skill to put some cheese and crackers on a plate.

Chance: Well, she’s also very kind and understanding and patient.

Abby: Hmm. It sounds like you want something.

Chance: She’s also very perceptive.

Abby: What do you need, chance? Whatever it is, all you have to do is ask.

Billy: I can’t tell you how pissed off I am that he screwed her over the way that he did. Not that I’m surprised. I assume you’re not either, ’cause we had his number from the beginning.

Nick: I hope that’s not what you said to her.

Billy: Close.

Nick: I bet that went over well.

Billy: Actually, she admitted that we were right. She’s mad at herself that she fell for his garbage.

Nick: He’s the one she should be mad at.

Billy: She is. Believe me, she is. Or…she was. Thought she was gonna smack him when he first walked in. Then he started giving her that stupid look that he’s perfected, all pained and sincere. Like he’s the victim — he’s done it his entire life. You think she’d see through it by now.

Ashland: I was up most of the night, thinking about the terrible mistake I made. It was wrong of me to walk out on you the way I did. You are more than capable of making your own decisions, and it’s not my place to do that for you. If you can’t get past your doubts about me, I will understand that. I will respect your wishes, whatever they are. But if there is the slightest chance that you’re willing to wait for me until I can clear my name…that would be a miracle.

Victoria: I think everything is going to work out.

Ashland: Do you mean that?

Victoria: I need to deal with my family.

Ashland: Let me go with you. I can —

Victoria: No, I’d like to do it alone.

Ashland: But — but —

Victoria: I’ll be fine.

Ashland: Okay.

Victoria: I’ll meet you afterwards at society.

Ashland: I’ll be waiting.

[ Sighs ] This means the world to me. You have no idea.

Nick: What the hell?

Nikki: Oh, this waiting…

Victor: Believe me, I wish we had heard something by now.

Nikki: There’s an executive staff meeting in 10 minutes. I’ll have to cover for victoria and ashland.

Victor: How are you gonna explain their absence?

Nikki: By being as vague as possible.

Victor: We have to keep it quiet about what happened last night, okay? Until that scum’s out of the company, I don’t want anyone to know about it.

Nikki: When victoria’s ready, we will all sit down together and hammer out a strategy.

Victor: I think you’re more worried about victoria than you’re letting on.

Nikki: Well, yes, of course I’m worried. Ashland has lied to her before, but never anything like this. This is a crushing betrayal, and we saw how devastated she was when she finally admitted what he had done.

Victor: I think once the shock wears off, she will want to be rid of that loser as much as we do.

Nikki: Well, don’t expect that to happen overnight. It’s going to take a while for her to get over this. I mean, this marriage was her dream. Falling in love with ashland was effortless for her. He adored her — or so she thought. He told her everything that she had longed to hear. Now all of that has been shattered, along with her sense of judgment. And this is even worse than when things ended with billy. I mean, god knows they tried to make that work so many times. But she trusted a–

Victor: Hold on a second.

Nikki: What?

Victor: Oh, my goodness.

Nikki: What?

Victor: Nicholas is watching ashland and victoria. Oh, my god. And she just went into his arms. That bastard is manipulating her. I’m gonna have to put a stop to that.

Nikki: [ Sighs ]

Ashland: Are you sure you don’t want me to go with you, face your family together?

Victoria: If you’re asking me to trust you, then you have to trust me.

Ashland: You’re right. Of course you’re right. You’re always right.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] You’ve been handling your family for a long time, long before i came into the picture. You know best how to deal with them. I just can’t help wanting to look out after you, to protect you. It’s instinctive.

Victoria: But if you’re there, it’s just gonna make everything more tense, and there’s nothing that you can say to my family that’s gonna convince them that you’re innocent without proof, and — and you don’t have that yet.

Ashland: But you know I’m not gonna stop until I do have it.

Victoria: Yes, I know. I know that you’re — you’re relentless.

Ashland: I was thinking i might never see that smile again.

Victoria: Never is an awfully long time.

Ashland: Still, it’s all I’m living for now. To make sure that you and I are gonna be okay. That is everything. Good luck.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Thanks.

Ashland: Not that you’re gonna need it.

Billy: What was that?

Victoria: Have you been spying on me this whole time? What is he doing here? Did you call him?

Nick: Absolutely not.

Billy: And we weren’t spying on you, okay? I was still here when he walked in, and I wanted to stick around to make sure that you were okay. We didn’t interrupt because we were hoping we were gonna watch you kick his ass to the curb.

Nick: Instead it’s all hugs and kisses? You cannot be serious.

Victoria: I don’t have to explain myself to either one of you.

Nick: Do not tell me you’re gonna forgive this lying creep again.

Victoria: Okay, I won’T.

Nick: Vick, come on.

Victoria: Nicholas, why can you not just trust me for once? I know what I’m doing. And thank you for listening to me earlier and respecting me. It meant a lot.

Nick: I don’t like this at all.

Abby: Come, sit.

Chance: I can see you’re upset.

Abby: I’m not upset. I’m just worried, and please don’t tell me that there isn’t any reason to be.

Chance: Okay. Well, before you ask, yes, I am still having panic attacks, nightmares, you know, the disturbing thoughts. All that hasn’t gone away just yet.

Abby: Yeah, I saw you fighting through one a moment ago.

Chance: Yeah, but I’m okay. Really, things are getting better, I promise. Sometimes it just — it just sneaks up on me, you know? Less often than before.

Abby: And I assume this is something that you shared with your therapist?

Chance: Yeah, yeah. Dr. Huffman is, you know, helping me understand these a little bit better, what’s going on up here when they’re happening. He taught me some breathing exercises, some relaxation techniques to help.

Abby: Good, I’m glad.

Chance: But he also recommended something else, and in order to follow through on that, I’m really gonna need your support.

Abby: Of course, absolutely, yeah, I will support you any way that I can.

Chance: Well, you might want to wait and hear what it is first, ’cause I have a feeling you’re not gonna like what he recommended.

Abby: Try me.

Nick: What did victoria say to you before ashland showed up? How did she seem?

Billy: I think you should go find your sister and ask her yourself.

Nick: I can’t do that, billy. If I push it any more with her, it could really backfire.

Billy: Yeah, that’s true.

Nick: So when you talked to her, what did she say? Was she making excuses for ashland? Was she trying to come up with reasons to believe his story?

Billy: No. Not at all. She told me flat-out that he lied about everything. She said she looked in his eyes and knew that he was guilty.

Nick: Thank god.

Billy: We also talked about him being potentially dangerous.

Nick: Are you serious?

Billy: Yes, which is why i don’t understand what the hell just happened. How does that conversation end with them being affectionate?

Nick: Well, think about it, he’s still co-owner of newman/locke. He is the co-ceo. He’s got all this leverage on her. As much as we would’ve liked to have seen her go off on him, maybe it’s not her best move.

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Victor: Where’s victoria?

Nick: She’s — she’s already gone.

Victor: You and I need to talk in private.

Billy: No, I’m good. She told me about everything.

Victor: Did she?

Billy: Which is why you should’ve teamed up with me in the beginning. We could’ve stopped ashland in his tracks.

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: Hi. It’s me. I need to see you right away.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Chance: How was he? He go to sleep okay?

Abby: Yes, all that play time with daddy wore him out.

[ Chuckles ]

Chance: We’re gonna have to work on his stamina, huh?

Abby: Yeah. Okay, so I am all yours. Please tell me what dr. Huffman suggested to help you work through this.

Chance: Well…it’s funny you phrase it that way, because he thinks I should literally work through it. He thinks I should go back to the police force.

Abby: Wow, okay.

[ Chuckles ] Well, that is the last thing i expected your therapist to say.

Chance: Why do you say that?

Abby: I mean, didn’t you tell him about what happened when you went on the stakeout with rey?

Chance: Yeah, of course. Of course I did. I mean, we had a very detailed conversation about the whole thing.

Abby: And?

Chance: Well, we agreed that, at the time, I was expecting too much of myself. And now I can approach it, you know, differently.

Abby: Okay, um…look, I know that dr. Huffman is a professional and I’m not trying to second-guess what he said, but, I mean, it’s just — it’s really hard for me to fathom that he would want you to go back to work, to put yourself under that kind of pressure when you’re not ready.

Chance: He thinks I am ready.

Abby: But — but clearly you haven’t healed from the trauma that you suffered in spain — the nightmares and the flashbacks are proof of that.

Chance: I think his idea is that getting back to my normal routine and building up my confidence in these certain situations, that’s all gonna be part of the healing process. But, listen, I understand if you have reservations or concerns. And if you’re uncomfortable with it, that’s fine. I don’t have to do it.

[ Knock on door ]

Nikki: Here I am. I’m so glad you called.

Victoria: How was the staff meeting?

Nikki: Oh, uneventful. I just said that you and ashland couldn’t make it and let it go at that. You seem tired, honey.

Victoria: I didn’t sleep much.Nikki: I don’t think any of us did.

Victoria: I’m sorry that i didn’t get back to you and your texts. I turned my phone off. I just needed some time to myself last night.

Nikki: Oh, no, I’m glad that you took it. How are you feeling now?

Victoria: Better. Where’s dad? I would assume that he would be with you.

Nikki: Actually, he left to go find you.

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] I’m sure he knew exactly where to find me. And don’t deny that he had me followed. I’m pretty sure I saw one of his security team outside my hotel, and then nicholas showed up at crimson lights when I was there. Surprise, surprise.

Nikki: We didn’t intend invade your privacy. We just wanted to make sure you were alright.

Victoria: And that I wasn’t with ashland.

Nikki: Well, we didn’t want him harassing you.

Victoria: After he made his dramatic announcement that he’s walking away from our marriage.

Nikki: Oh, none of us put much stock in that.

Victoria: Well, you were right.

Nikki: What do you mean? I know that you spoke to ashland at the coffee house. Did he admit to lying about being sick?

Victoria: No, no such luck. He insists still that he’s being set up and he’s going to “prove his innocence.”

Nikki: But you don’t believe that.

Victoria: Mother, I’m only willing to get into this once. Would you please call nicholas and dad and have them come back here? And I’ll tell you everything that you need to know.

Victor: Billy boy, I’m not interested in your opinion.

Billy: Oh, that’s too bad, ’cause if you were interested back in tuscany, victoria wouldn’t be in this situation, would she?

Nick: This isn’t doing any good. We all want the same thing here, and that is to get victoria out of this disaster of a marriage.

Victor: Let me ask you, what was she doing in locke’s arms?

Nick: I don’t know, dad. I asked her about it.

Victor: Did she have any explanation?

Nick: None. She just insisted that she knows what she’s doing.

Billy: I talked to her before ashland got here, and believe me, she was furious with him.

Nick: It’s hard to know where her head is.

Victor: Excuse me. Yes, darling. Is victoria with you?

Nikki: Yes, she’s back in the office, and she would like to speak to all of us together.

Victor: We’ll be right over. Let’s go, son. Did I ask you to come along? This is a family affair. You stay out of it.

Billy: My kids are part of that family, so you damn well better believe that I’m gonna protect their interests.

Victor: Stay out of it, billy boy. I’m warning you.

Nick: Dad, come on. Want strong hair even after coloring?

Abby: I’m not asking you to drop the idea of going back to work. I want that for you. I mean, that has always been the goal. That is why I had encouraged therapy in the first place. I just — I need help understanding why dr. Huffman is taking this position.

Chance: Okay, well, I’ll do my best to explain.

Abby: Why does he think that doing this now wouldn’t be too much, too soon?

Chance: Abby, I’m in a better place. I am. Yes, I am still struggling with some things, I know. But when I went on that stakeout with rey — first of all, that was a very impulsive decision. I did not think that through at all. And second, there were certain uncertainties, certain pressures that have faded since then, right? You know, dominic was sick, and we didn’t know why. We weren’t sure about sharing custody with devon. We didn’t know how that was gonna go. I mean, I had so much uncertainty on so many different fronts. That’s not the case now. I feel good and I feel like I’m back on the right track.

Abby: Yeah. I do, too.

Chance: And look, I’m certain that this guy knows what he’s talking about. I trust him. Getting mentally stronger, it’s not about just sitting around and waiting to get better, right? It’s like exercising a muscle — you got to do a little bit at a time and build yourself back up.

Abby: Okay, so you’re not talking about throwing yourself back into work full force.

Chance: No. I will pace myself, I promise. I will see how things go. And look, I know I’m gonna have setbacks. I know there are gonna be days that are worse than others. I am more equipped to handle all that now. I am. I understand that this is part of the process. Failure is inevitable sometimes. Things go wrong, and people make mistakes. It doesn’t have to define you or hold you back.

Abby: Well, I can tell that you put a great deal of thought into this. And I would never want to be the one standing in your way.

Chance: Are you kidding me? That’s not what you’re doing. I understand your concerns are out of love. I do. But I’m confident that this is a step I need to take.

Abby: Then…so am I.

Chance: Thank you. Thank you for being the most supportive partner a man could ask for, really.

Victoria: So at the staff meeting, how did the division heads react to the new vacation policy?

Nikki: Oh, most were in favor. The employees who have children like the idea of being able to sync up their days off with the school calendar.

Victoria: I don’t foresee that being an issue, do you?

Nikki: No, no, I think we should implement it and see how things go, reassess it at the end of the year.

Victoria: Agreed.

[ Sighs ] What?

Nikki: I knew that work would be what brought you back to us, and I’m so glad. But we shouldn’t pretend that a major upheaval hasn’t just taken place.

Victoria: I’m not pretending.

Nikki: No?

Victoria: No, I’m compartmentalizing.

Nikki: I see.

Victoria: It’s my strong suit, okay?

Nikki: Darling, no one is questioning your strength. You don’t have to prove yourself to anybody. You were deceived — we all were. And the only one to blame for that is ashland. But we’re your family and we will stand by you.

Victoria: Well, that’s great, mom, but we might have different ideas of what that should look like.

Nikki: Meaning what?

[ Door opens ]

Victor: We’ve been very worried about you.

Victoria: I gave you good reason to worry by running off the way that I did. I’m sorry about that.

[ Sighs ] I was just reacting to the bomb exploding, and… but I wanted to reassure you that I am not falling apart, and nor do I plan to.

Billy: Hey, ashland.

Ashland: Hello, billy.

Billy: How’s everything in your world?

Ashland: Fantastic. How are you?

Billy: I’m good. Good, thank you for asking. Yeah, really loving my gig at chancellor. Most fulfilling job I’ve ever had, which I’m sure is annoying to you since you tried to ruin my career.

Ashland: Oh, I was just hoping that you would learn a lesson, that’s all. And back the hell off. Apparently you’ve done both, so good for you.

Billy: You always land on your feet, don’t you? Even though you lied, cheated, and stole your way into your so-called accomplishments in life, including your name. And even when you get caught, nothing sticks. I wouldn’t count on that continuing if I were you.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] Pain hits fast.

Abby: Mmm.

[ Chuckles ] Unfortunately, I have to slow this down.

[ Scoffs ]

Chance: Should we — should we check on dom first, yeah?

Abby: No, I have to get to society. I told the manager I’d go over some things with her.

Chance: Okay. Are you sure you want me to go back to work? Right.

Abby: I love you.

Chance: Alright.

[ Sighs ] Hey, rey. How you doing? Excellent. Yeah. Well, listen, man, I was hoping we could meet up. There’s something I’d like to talk to you about.

Ashland: You seem so delighted at the prospect of my eventual downfall. Is that just wishful thinking or do you know something i don’t?

Billy: It’s inevitable.

Ashland: Based on?

Billy: You can only roll the dice so many times before it comes up snake eyes.

Ashland: Said the man with the gambling problem.

Billy: And you made the mistake of marrying a woman as savvy as victoria.

Ashland: I think it’s the smartest thing I’ve ever done.

Billy: Well, I trust that sooner or later, she’s gonna see through you. And when she does, I would not want to be standing in your $10,000 italian shoes. Thank you.

Victor: To be frank with you, I’m stunned that you’re coping as well as you are. I mean, the last few days must have been horrendously difficult for you.

Victoria: Stop it.

Nikki: Darling, please just hear him out.

Victor: Sweetheart, I think you’re still in a state of shock. What ashland locke has done to you, basing your entire relationship on a lie.

Victoria: Daddy, don’t patronize me. I know exactly what I’m doing.

Victor: I’m not patronizing you.

Nick: It’s the same thing she said to me right after I saw her kissing ashland.

Nikki: What? You kissed him?

Victoria: Alright, listen up, all of you, because I’m only gonna say this once. I intend to handle this how i see fit, on my own, and you don’t have to like it.

Victor: Sweetheart, excuse me, what has come over you? How are you gonna handle ashland locke?

Victoria: I’m meeting him when I leave here, and I’m gonna tell him that nothing has to change between us and that i still love him.

[Soft music]

Nicole: [Sighs] Can you believe this is happening finally?

Rafe: Pretty sure it is. Unless we’re both having the same dream.

Nicole: Oh, god, I hope not.

Rafe: Yeah.

Nicole: Because I don’t ever wanna wake up.

EJ: So Rafe Hernandez was found innocent. Lucky bastard.

Orpheus: Heard you lost your cellmate today.

EJ: Yes, Weston got paroled. Good for him.

Orpheus: You really think that?

EJ: Why wouldn’t I?

Orpheus: Maybe because he tried to have you killed.

Ciara: I hate this, Ben.

Ben: Yeah, well, I don’t love it myself, Ciara.

Ciara: Your dad just shows up out of the blue, and you let him move in here, really?

Ben: He’s not gonna stay here that long, I promise you.

Ciara: Ben, babe, I…

Clyde: Hey, everything okay?

Ben: Yeah, everything’s good.

Clyde: Look, if I’m creating a problem by staying here, just say so

Ciara: You are making a problem.

Brady: So do you think Leo bought your act?

Abigail: He seemed to. I mean, I went on quite dramatically about how he’s the reason my marriage is falling apart. You know, Chad won’t stop talking about him, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

Brady: Well, I’m sure he enjoyed that.

Abigail: Oh, he ate it up. Believe me. So how are things going on your side?

Brady: Well, Chloe and I tailed Craig to the hospital like a bunch of secret agents.

Abigail: What is he doing at the hospital?

Brady: We’re not sure yet. Chloe’s there now; she’s gonna try to intercept Craig to stall him long enough for Chad to work his magic on Leo.

Abigail: Poor Chad.

Brady: Hopefully, Chloe will send Craig home at the right time.

Abigail: Yep, to find Leo in bed with my husband.

[Knocking on door]

Craig: Come in

Chloe: Dad, hi.

Craig: Sweetheart. This is a surprise. How did you know I was here?

Chloe: I just ran into Steve and Kayla, and they said that you took her job.

Craig: Yeah, look. Look, Kayla was gonna lose her job no matter what. I just presented the board with a viable alternative.

Chloe: And was that your idea or Leo’s?

[Tense music]

Leo: You’re here to see me? Why?

Chad: You alone?

Leo: Yeah. Craig is at his new job.

Chad: So then does that mean that you and I… that we can talk privately?

Leo: About what?

Chad: Ah. Can I just come in please? Can I come in?

Leo: Okay, why not?

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

[Soft orchestration]

Chad: Mind if I have a drink?

Leo: Looks like it wouldn’t be your first.

[Soft music]

Chad: I’ve had a very rough day. Abby and I, we got in a… a big fight.

Leo: I know. She was just here.

Chad: She came here?

Leo: Mm-hmm.

Chad: What did she say?

Leo: She’s pretty upset. She accused me of causing trouble between the two of you.

Chad: [Laughs] That’s ridiculous. I don’t know what she’s talking about. I don’t know what she’s…

Leo: Well, for starters, she says that you call out my name in your sleep.

Chad: Okay. I explained that to her. I was dreaming about a dog that I had when I was a kid. His name was Leo.

Leo: I don’t think she was convinced, and neither am I.

Chad: It wasn’t about you. I loved that dog. It was a schnauzer. You are the last thing on my mind, trust me.

Leo: Oh yeah? Then what are you doing here?

Craig: Leo believes me in me, Chloe. And, yes, when we found out that the chief of staff position might become available, Leo suggested that I lobby for the position.

Chloe: Oh, I knew it.

Craig: Well, I’m qualified, and I need a job!

Chloe: What, why?

Craig: Because I’m bound to be fired from the one I have now thanks to your mother badmouthing me to all of my colleagues and anyone else in New York who’ll listen that I split up with her because of Leo.

Chloe: I’m sorry that she’s doing that, but that doesn’t mean that you’re entitled to Kayla’s job.

Craig: Look, you don’t understand what’s going on. Kayla refused to fire Marlena.

Chloe: And why on earth would she do that anyway?

Craig: Because the board has a problem with someone claiming that they’re possessed by the devil. All I did was I tossed my hat in the ring. If I didn’t, they’d hire someone else.

Chloe: Okay, so it’s really awful for Kayla and Marlena, but the point is, Leo put you up to this. Dad, I can’t understand why you don’t see that he’s pulling you into his schemes and his lies. Come on!

Craig: You know what, Chloe? From the way I see it, the only one scheming and lying is you.

Rafe: [Sighs] Can we do this every night?

Nicole: We can do whatever you want now that Ava’s out of the picture.

Rafe: Ah, Ava. I really thought she’d changed.

Nicole: So did I. But the way she tried framing you, that’s a bona fide Vitali move. I just hope she’s done trying stuff like that.

Rafe: You try not to worry about it, okay? ‘Cause if she tries that again, I’m ready for her.

Nicole: Well, cheers to your freedom.

Rafe: Yeah, and to us. You know, aside from the obvious reasons that I didn’t wanna go to prison, I didn’t want to miss this. A night with you.

Nicole: All right. What’s the less obvious reasons?

Rafe: Well, I was worried I might end up in a cell with Elvis, Jr.

EJ: It’s Harp, right? Milo Harp?

Orpheus: I told you to call me Orpheus.

EJ: Wasn’t Orpheus known for his musical skills?

Orpheus: And for going to hell to find his woman and coming back alive.

EJ: Hmm. Well, Orpheus, I’m afraid you’ve been misinformed. I was shot by some random drug addict.

Orpheus: Save the fake news for somebody else. Before he blew out of here, Clyde told me you know the truth. That he was responsible for your near-death experience.

EJ: Clyde and I hashed it out. He expressed remorse for what he did.

Orpheus: And he was so convincing that you said let bygones be bygones?

EJ: Let’s just say I’ve agreed not to turn him in.

Orpheus: Good move. Because I’m sure here to make sure you keep your mouth shut.

Ben: Could we talk about this when Clyde’s not in the room?

Clyde: Hey, Ciara’s entitled to her opinion. If she doesn’t want me here, we should at least discuss it

Ciara: Look, I’m sorry, it’s nothing personal here. It’s just even if you do plan on becoming this model citizen, I’m sure you have a lot of enemies that still have it in for you. And if you’re living here, they will come looking for you here, and I’m having a baby in a couple of months.

Clyde: Oh, I’d take a bullet for that baby you’re carrying.

Ciara: I don’t want bullets in this house; I don’t want any bullets anywhere.

Ben: That’s not gonna happen.

Clyde: Wait.

Ciara: How do you know it’s not gonna happen?

Clyde: Listen. I’ve been in the slammer so long that most of my enemies are dead or locked up for life. Parole board has decided that I’ve paid my debt to society, and since I really want to be around while my grandchild is growing up, I know I have to walk the straight and narrow.

Ciara: The straight and narrow. Does that seem a little boring to you?

Clyde: It looks really appealing to me right now. And I know from Ben that a leopard can change his spots.

Ciara: No, no, no, you made Ben that way. He wasn’t born that way.

Clyde: Yeah, but you made him the man he is today. So all I’m asking for is a chance to prove myself to you. The same chance that you gave him.

Chad: I was pretty surprised to run into you last night. You and your new boyfriend. So I don’t know, I just thought that maybe, you know, we could catch up.

Leo: Why? We aren’t exactly besties.

Chad: Maybe, but we had quite the adventure a few months ago.

Leo: Yeah. We’ll always have Phoenix. Abigail says you talk about that trip all the time.

Chad: She exaggerates.

Leo: She also says she caught you in drag. And that you want to get me into bed.

Chad: She’s paranoid. I’m devoted to her.

Leo: Are you? See, I have a little confession to make. Before you spotted me in the square last night, I heard the two of you arguing. And I heard Abigail say that you haven’t touched her in months.

Chad: Oh, god.

Leo: Is Abigail right? Are you having naughty thoughts about little ol’ me?

EJ: Clyde doesn’t trust me? I’m shocked, I tell you. Shocked.

Orpheus: Clyde’s not the trusting type. He’s been so frequently disappointed by his fellow man.

EJ: And what are you, his enforcer?

Orpheus: He and I have a cautious alliance. He tries my patience, but he can be very useful now that he’s on the outside. Let’s just say that I have a vested interest in Clyde remaining at large.

EJ: Well, I have no plans to do anything to jeopardize his freedom. When you report back to him, feel free to tell him I said that.

Orpheus: I will. And I’ll also be keeping a close watch on you.

EJ: Oh, I’m flattered.

Orpheus: A smart mouth can get you into trouble in a place like this.

EJ: I’ll take my chances.

Orpheus: I keep a low profile around here, but I have eyes and ears all over the place. Very little happens that I don’t know about. Keep that in mind if you decide to use what you know about Clyde. I would hate for life inside to become unpleasant for you.

EJ: Why, Milo, if I didn’t know better, I’d say you were threatening me.

Ciara: Look, I am all for you getting a chance to prove yourself and redeem yourself genuinely. I am, I just do not understand why you have to do it when you’re living in this house.

Clyde: I’d rather be on my own, too, but the parole board wouldn’t go for it. They said I had to be with family, and Ben’s the only family I got left.

Ben: If we kick him out, they can revoke his parole. They’ll send him right back to prison, Ciara. Do you think maybe we can try giving this a shot?

Chloe: I’m the one who’s scheming?

Craig: Mm-hmm. Like pretending to give Leo a chance when you had no intention of doing so. You know, Chloe, you have been trying to sabotage this relationship from the moment it started. You think I’m some kind of chump or something.

Chloe: It’s not that.

Craig: It’s gonna stop! Right now! Leo is not after my money. He and I love each other.

Chad: Okay, I’ll be honest.

[Tense music]

Chad: Since Phoenix, I haven’t been able to get you out of my head.

Leo: All this time, I’ve been living there rent-free, and I didn’t even know it?

Chad: All the attention that you gave me. The way you looked at me. Like you wanted me. It was…

Leo: Intoxicating?

Chad: Yeah, that.

Leo: So I was an ego boost? Something for you to throw in the wife’s face if she were to turn you down?

Chad: No, no, no, no. It was way more than that. It’s just that when… when someone is so into you and wants you so much… it almost makes you…

Leo: Almost makes you what? Please start finishing your sentences, Chad.

Chad: It almost makes you want them back.

Rafe: I can’t believe it. Here we are, together, and in one piece.

Nicole: I wish I could say the same thing about poor Duke.

Rafe: Duke, poor Dukie. You know, things really changed between us the night you won that bear for me.

Nicole: Not that either one of us admitted it.

Rafe: Ah, well, I hated it. I hated lying to Ava, keeping you at arm’s length. Oh, Duke didn’t let me forget any of it.

Nicole: He talked to you?

Rafe: No, no No, I would look at him and my conscience would talk to me because I wasn’t facing my feelings for you.

Nicole: Well, yeah, I think we’re both guilty of that.

Rafe: Yeah, I know. But you were married.

Nicole: Yeah, but even after that blew up, I didn’t tell you how I really felt, and there were so many days that I wanted to.

Rafe: I know. I knew, you know how?

Nicole: Hm?

Rafe: Because I felt the same way.

Nicole: Come here.

Ben: I know I’m asking a lot of you right now, and you’ve already given me so much already, but do you think maybe we could give this a try?

Clyde: Hey. It won’t be permanent. As soon as my parole officer gives the green light, I’ll find some other place to crash. And I’ll pull my weight here. I’ll help Ben with the nursery. Hell, I’ll even cook for you.

Ben: You cook now?

Clyde: Oh yeah! Make a mean squirrel stew.

Ben: What?

Clyde: I’m kidding, but you gotta try my omelet.

Ben: Look, I’m gonna say one thing, and that’s the end of it. Ciara, when I was looking for you, my dad literally shivved Orpheus to get his phone away from him just so I was able to reach you.

Ciara: I know.

Clyde: You might’ve left out the part about the shiv.

Ben: All I’m trying to say is if this guy didn’t stick his neck out for us, you and I might not be together right now.

Ciara: I might not even be alive.

Ben: I would really like to return the favor and let my dad stay here. Just for a little while.

Ciara: Oh, fine, fine, fine. Fine, you can stay. He can stay but only for a little while, okay?

Leo: Are you saying that you want me?

Chad: I don’t know, maybe. No–yes. I think, yes.

Leo: But you were so freaked out when I tricked you into thinking that we had slept together.

Chad: I think that I just–it never crossed my mind how much I might really be attracted to men.

Leo: Wow. Okay, this is quite the sexual revelation. It’s right up there with that time I saw Chris Evans kissing that dude.

Chad: Chris Evans is gay?

Leo: Sadly, no, it was his brother, but in my head, it’s still Chris.

Chad: Right, right. I understand.

Leo: Okay, getting back to you and me, Chadwick, if you had spilled all this tea in Phoenix, I would’ve been all over it and you, but I’m in a committed relationship now.

Chad: So does that mean you’re not interested?

Ben: I’m sorry you gotta sleep out here, dad.

Clyde: No, this is fine.

Ben: It’s just that the nursery’s partially set up for the baby, there’s no bed in the office, so…

Clyde: I’m telling you, man, it’s fine. Compared to Statesville, this is like the Ritz. And I really appreciate you letting me stay here. The way you went to bat for me, that means a lot. Thank you, Ollie.

Ben: You’re welcome. Hey, please don’t screw this up.

Clyde: I hear you, I won’t.

Ben: I mean it, Dad. Right now, that baby is the number one priority. If you get into anything illegal, no matter what it is, you’re out of here. Even if that means you get sent back to Statesville. You understand?

Clyde: Absolutely.

Orpheus: I’m offering you a friendly warning, EJ. And I suggest you take it seriously.

EJ: You needn’t be so cryptic. My father was Stefano DiMera. What you’re saying is that if I open my mouth, you’ll have me killed, and your people will make it look like an accident. But you don’t have to worry. As Clyde pointed out, it’s better for me that he’s out there while I’m in here. Less chance of him… [Whistles] Slitting my throat while I sleep.

Orpheus: Although, the equation changes if you’re released. And I know your lawyer’s preparing an appeal.

EJ: And I know it’s in everyone’s best interest if we let bygones be bygones. Clyde has nothing to fear from me.

Orpheus: I hope not. For your sake.

Chloe: Well, Dad, I’m sorry that I have upset you.

Craig: Well, it takes two to tango.

Chloe: What does that mean?

Craig: You think I don’t see how my coming out has hurt you and your mother? Honey, it’s not lost on me that I’ve turned our family completely upside down. I know it’s… I know it’s a lot to ask for you to see me with someone else, but Chloe, I need you right now. I need your support more than ever. And if you’re not gonna give it to me, then the one thing that I ask is that you stop interfering and let me live my life.

Chloe: Wow, those are your terms? I’m your daughter.

[Phone rings]

Craig: Dr. Wesley. Yes, yes, I– I’ll come right now, yes. That was Seth Burn. He wants to see me.

[Tense music]

[Phone line trilling]

Chloe: Hi, it’s me

Brady: Hey, how’s it going with your dad?

Chloe: Well, he just went to go talk to the chairman of the board here at the hospital.

Brady: Seth Burns, why?

Chloe: Because he’s hired my dad as the new chief of staff.

Brady: Chief of staff? What about Kayla?

Chloe: Kayla got fired.

Brady: What?

Chloe: Yeah, we can talk about that later. That’s not why I called. I don’t know, I just–I think maybe this whole plan of Sonny’s might be a bad idea. Maybe we should call it off.

Leo: Did I say I wasn’t interested? But if we were to give in to our forbidden lust, it would break Craig’s heart.

Chad: And Abigail’s.

Leo: Despite what Chloe and Brady think, I do love Craig.

Chad: Brady and Chloe don’t approve of you?

Leo: Are you kidding? Those two shady hoes? They’ve been trying to come between my honey and me from the jump.

Chad: Ugh.

Leo: If we were to hook up, Craig would think they were right that I was just using him. He would never forgive me.

Chad: [Sighs] Well, I don’t wanna screw things up for you. So maybe I’m just gonna go, and then I’ll just sleep off my buzz. Sorry, I’ll just…

Leo: Wait! He’d never forgive me if he found out.

Chad: I won’t tell if you won’t.

Ciara: I put out some towels for you in the bathroom.

Clyde: Well, thank you, sweetheart.

Ciara: You’re welcome.

Clyde: I’ll go wash up.

Ben: All right then. Hey, I know how much you still hate this.

Ciara: I don’t hate it, I just think it’s a really, really bad idea.

Ben: I know, I know you do, but you know what, as soon as you have a weird feeling, or you don’t want him here, you tell me, and he’s gone. Promise you.

Ciara: Oh, gosh, I really hope for your sake that he’s changed his ways. Because I know how important it is to you have a relationship with him, especially with our little baby on the way.

Ben: And you are absolutely right. And I couldn’t love you more for understanding. You are the best wife a man could ever ask for.

Ciara: I know.

Ben: Oh, you know?

Ciara: I know.

Leo: You really wanna do this?

Chad: You don’t know how much.

Leo: Well, Craig did say he’s gonna be at the hospital for a while.

Chad: I don’t wanna pressure you.

Leo: Oh, what the hell. I can’t resist those baby blues. I’m gonna go slip into something more comfortable. Feel free to do the same.

Chad: Sure, okay.

[Tense music]

Chad: Hey, it’s me. It’s a go. Please tell me that Craig is on his way.

Brady: Look, Chloe, I know you don’t like going behind your dad’s back, but when you’re dealing with a guy like Leo…

Chloe: Yeah, but we’re going by what happened to Sonny, but what if Leo’s actually changed? What if he actually is in love with my dad?

Brady: If he loves your dad, he’s gonna turn down Chad. If he doesn’t, your dad’s gonna walk right into it.

Chloe: My dad is so upset with me already. If he finds out that I helped set this up…

Abigail: Brady?

Brady: Yeah, hold on, Abigail wants to tell me something.

Abigail: I just heard from Chad, and Leo went for it, so Chloe’s got to get her dad there now.

Brady: Chad just told Abigail that Leo took the bait.

Chloe: Oh, okay. So he has not changed his way. He’s still slime.

Brady: We gotta get Chad out of there, so find your dad and get him home now.

Chloe: On it Hey, Dad, so I have been thinking about what you said, and you’re right. I’m gonna do my best to accept Leo in your life.

Craig: Thank you. That means the world to me.

Chloe: Well, it’s getting late. Should we walk out together?

Craig: Oh, honey, I got a ton of work to do. I really–

Chloe: Oh, come on, you’ve got it. Why don’t you just go home and celebrate with Leo?

Chad: Okay, you can do this. You just have to fake it until Craig gets here Craig, you better get here soon.

[Tense music]

Leo: Wait a minute.

Chad: I thought you wanted me to get into bed.

Leo: Oh, I do. But I gotta see that ass first. Even better than I imagined it. Now… let’s get this party started.

Nicole: Well, that was so very nice.

Rafe: Yes. And slightly more comfortable than a conference table.

Nicole: Maybe we should try a bed sometime.

Rafe: There is one down the hall.

Nicole: Can I say something first?

Rafe: Sure.

Nicole: I really love you.

Rafe: I really love you, too.

[Soft music]

EJ: Now that we understand each other, I think I’ll call it a night.

Orpheus: I’ll be in touch.

EJ: I’m looking forward to it Oh, next time, bring your flute. Love to Eurydice.

[Tense music]

Ben: You got everything you need, Dad?

Clyde: Oh yeah, this is great.

Ciara: There’s coffee made in the morning if you wake up early enough.

Clyde: Thank you.

Ciara: You’re welcome.

Ben: Well, good night, Dad.

Clyde: Good night, son.

Ben: See you.

Ciara: Good night, Clyde.

Clyde: Good night.

[Cell phone rings]

Clyde: Hello, yeah, I’ll accept. Hey, make it fast. Ben and his wife just went to bed.

Orpheus: How’s life on the outside?

Clyde: Better than life on the inside.

Orpheus: No doubt. I’m calling you because I just had a conversation with EJ DiMera. He said all the right things, but he’s got an attitude. I’m not sure we can trust him to keep his mouth shut. Before push comes to shove, we may have to eliminate him.

Clyde: Do what you have to do.

Orpheus: May I assume I have your blessing?

Clyde: You may.

Chloe: Hi, you two.

Abigail: Please tell me your dad is on the way to the Inn.

Chloe: Yeah, he should be there any minute, just in time to have his heart broken.

Brady: Don’t feel guilty. This was bound to happen. Leo did this to himself.

Leo: I cannot believe this is happening.

Chad: Neither can I.

Leo: Don’t worry, I’ll be real gentle. My lovemaking philosophy is based on the Ike and Tina turner version of “proud Mary.” We’re gonna go real nice and slow in the beginning. And then finish, well, not so nice.

Chad: You know, Tina Turner, what a wonderful artist. What other songs of hers do you like? Do you like–

Leo: Shut up and kiss me.

Craig: Leo.

[ Soft stirring ]

Finn: Morning, beautiful.

Steffy: What time is it? How long have you been awake?

Finn: Long enough to get the kids dressed, fed and off with amelia.

Steffy: I slept through all of that?

Finn: Mm-hmm. We were quiet. Because you… my sexy wife deserved to sleep in after that very late night we had.

Steffy: Mm-hmm. And you were just able to get out of bed?

Finn: Yeah.

[ Steffy chuckles ]

Finn: I knew if I did, I could spend the rest of the morning alone with you. But… if you need to check on your brother first…

Steffy: No.

Finn: He’s still on your mind.

Steffy: It just doesn’t make sense. Why would thomas sneak off with sheila in an alley?

Finn: You can ask him in the office when you see him later… much, much later.

[ Thomas sighs ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Thomas: What!

Sheila: You don’t have to be so rude.

Thomas: Yeah, look, you’re worried that I’m going to tell people that, uh, you sabotaged brooke on new year’s eve but you– you gotta lay off.

Sheila: Yeah. Well, what worries me is when you use words like sabotage.

Thomas: What else would you call it, sheila? You were the reason that brooke got drunk that night, right?

Sheila: No one can know that, thomas. Especially your father. If he could blame her behavior on me, it would send him straight back to brooke. We both know you don’t want that.

Ridge: Numbers are good. I just think we can do better–

Thomas: I have to go. I can’t deal with this right now.

Ridge: Everything okay?

Brooke: What a beautiful dream. If only it were true.

[ Knocking ]

Eric: Brooke?

Brooke: Oh, eric!

Eric: I, uh, I came as soon as I could.

Brooke: Oh, you didn’t have to rush.

Eric: No?

Brooke: No.

Eric: Sounded like you were upset.

Brooke: Yeah, I just needed some company, you know?

Eric: Yeah.

Brooke: It’s good to have you here. I mean, I have hope here, and she’s been wonderful. She’s very understanding but I can’t keep laying this on her. I can’t keep making her feel guilty for all of my bad decisions–

Eric: Okay, okay, okay. Okay, okay, it’s all right. I’m here now. What’s this about?

Brooke: I let him go. Yeah, I did. I– I set him free, and I don’t know why I did that, eric. I don’t want that. I know I made a mistake so of course I tried to fix it, right? I– I practically begged for him to come back. Oh, god. I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’T. I just can’t lose him. I can’T.

Ridge: You havin’ a problem with someone?

Thomas: No.

Carter: Is there something going on?

Ridge: Yeah. Somethin’ you wanna talk about?

Sheila: Don’t tell ridge.

Just don’t do it.

Steffy: As much as i want to spend the morning in bed with you…

Finn: You…?

Steffy: Can’T. Too worried about thomas. What the hell is he doing with sheila? I mean, maybe, maybe you’re right, he’s trying to protect our family, but I don’t know. I have a bad feeling. I need to know what’s going on. You know liberty mutual customizes your car insurance,

Brooke: This is why stephanie worked so hard to keep me away from ridge.

Eric: Yeah, well, she became your friend.

Brooke: Oh, eric, if she was still here, she would be really disappointed in me, just like ridge is. And I’m sure just like you are, too.

Eric: I’m not. Brooke, I’m not. Now, stop it. You’re making this very difficult for yourself. You’re taking all this, this pain and you’re making it worse with all this guilt!

Brooke: I know, I know, I– I have to stop replaying the past.

Eric: Brooke, I know that… I know that ridge is just– just as confused by all this as you are.

Brooke: You spoke with him?

Eric: He still loves you, brooke.

Brooke: I know that. It’s just. He’s not here.

Eric: You and my son share something very unique in all the world. It’s powerful, it’s strong. And it’s being tested right now. But it’s not broken. It never will be.

Ridge: You know, you can talk to me, right?

Thomas: If there was something that you could help with, I’d bring you in, but there’s really not.

Ridge: Right, well, I’m confident you will do what’s best.

Thomas: I just gotta figure out what… what that is.

Carter: That’s not a bad idea, right? Taking your time, working out the details.

Thomas: I’m just trying to see the big picture. You know, how all this may impact things in the long run.

Ridge: Yeah, I know you don’t want advice from your old man. But you know what? We don’t always do what’s right. But if you think that somebody can benefit from what you’re doing then it’s worth the risk.

Finn: Hey, when you talk to your brother, don’t forget what I said.

Steffy: Yeah, you and mom are already keeping an eye out on sheila. Thomas doesn’t need to do it, too.

Finn: He’s your big brother. All right? Being protective, it’s just in his blood.

Steffy: But why keep secrets?

Finn: Maybe he’s trying to keep the peace. Sheila’s my birth mother. A hard line with her, it might upset me. He just he doesn’t want you to get caught in the middle.

Steffy: I wish I knew what they were talking about in the alley. But I couldn’t hear them. All I could see was this intense body language.

Finn: Oh, what’s my body language telling you?

Steffy: Oh. Your feelings about me have not been a mystery, dr. Finnegan.

Finn: Haven’t been since I walked into your hospital room.

Steffy: Mm-hmm. And now look at us, happily married, proud parents.

Finn: We have a great life together. And we have so much to look forward to. I told you when I proposed, “I’m here for the long haul.”

Steffy: Because I’m the perfect woman for you.

Finn: You remember.

Steffy: How could I ever forget?

Finn: Steffy forrester,

will you marry me?

Will you be my wife?

Steffy: Yes!

Yes, I’ll be your wife!

Yes!

And I think most every

moment with you’s a reverie

every moment with you

is a reverie

every moment with you

is a reverie

Finn: And I’m even happier today with you, hayes, and our family. Steffy, I am so blessed to be with a woman like you. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Steffy: You’re doing a very good job distracting me.

Finn: Well, I hope to always keep a smile on your face.

Steffy: Well, my smile keeps getting bigger and bigger. You say you’re blessed to be with me but I’m the one who feels lucky. I think about everything we’ve experienced together. Everything that lies ahead. It can only get better.

Finn: Yeah, you just wait.

Steffy: But it is tough to top our proposal and the wedding and the day hayes was born.

Finn: That moment changed me. The first time I held the two of you in my arms, I knew that there was nothing I wouldn’t do to protect you. You, hayes and kelly are just so precious to me beyond anything I’ve ever known. And I would sacrifice anything to make you happy and keep you safe.

Steffy: We are safe, and we’re so connected to you. We’re so grateful for you and… and our family. And that’s exactly what I’m gonna say to thomas when I ask him about his meeting with sheila. I’m gonna tell him there’s no reason to hide the truth from me.

Eric: You’re overwhelmed, I know. But I worry. I mean, are you… do you have any urges to drink again?

Brooke: No, no.

Eric: That’s good.

Brooke: Yeah, yeah it is. But that’s what makes that night even more confusing. I mean, look at me. I can barely hold myself together, right? But I don’t want a drink.

Eric: You want to prove yourself, don’t you? You want to show ridge how committed you are.

Brooke: Yeah. Of course I do. But– but I– I don’t have the urge. I don’t have that temptation. Not like I did that night, so it doesn’t make any sense.

Eric: You’re going to meetings, right? You’re getting a lot of support there.

Brooke: Right, I am. And I can understand how people could relapse. I get that. That’s why I know I need to be strong and I need to be vigilant and I need to work at it. But it’s really not a struggle. Not like it was that night when I had that intense urge to drink and why?

Thomas: So you don’t need to go to that meeting with carter?

Ridge: No, he’ll fill me in later. You okay?

Thomas: Yeah. But it’s nice to know you’re looking out for me.

Ridge: You can count on your mom and on me.

Thomas: Well, you can count on me, too.

Ridge: We’re proud of you. And if we seem concerned it’s because we want you to be happy.

Thomas: That’s what I want for, for both of you.

Ridge: Yeah. You and steffy made that very clear, you’re very supportive.

Thomas: Well, you know what? You– you, mom, steffy, everyone helped out when– when I was going through tough times. You didn’t have to do that but you decided to help. And… I want to make sure that I’m there for you in the same way. I want to make sure that you end up happy.

[ Knocking ]

[ Persistent knocking ]

Sheila: Steffy? Wow, what a pleasant surprise.

Steffy: I know, sheila. I know what you’re up to. Ready to shine from the inside out?

Brooke: I’m not shifting blame, I’m not. I did it. I take full responsibility, it’s my fault. I mean, I explained all that to ridge. I just– I don’t think he wants to hear it anymore.

Eric: No, no, no, no, he’s not, he’s not shutting you out, brooke. The connection, the connection’s still there.

Brooke: I need him to come back to me. And if he doesn’T…

Eric: Just don’t think like that. Look, I know. It– it feels like a lost cause but it’s not. I mean, he’s– he’S… look, he’s staying there with steffy, I know. And you know how committed he is to that family and– and how much taylor means to him. But you’re his soul mate.

Brooke: I just don’t know how to get through to him.

Eric: He still loves you. He’ll come back.

Brooke: Are you sure? Even after everything that I put him through?

Eric: You’ve lost each other before. You’ll find your way back together again.

Brooke: He is the love of my life. He is.

Eric: Come here.

Brooke: Oh.

Eric: Come here.

Ridge: You want to make sure I end up happy? What does that mean?

Thomas: You were there for me. You helped me through some tough times. I’ll make sure I’m there for you and mom and that you end up together. I want you to be happy and fulfilled. I’m saying you can count on me.

Sheila: How did you find me?

Steffy: It’s not fun, is it? Having someone show up at your door uninvited?

Sheila: It– it’s just a surprise.

Steffy: Yes, it is. So why don’t you clear things up for me?

Sheila: I’m not sure I know what you mean.

Steffy: Well, you told my mother that you changed. You’re not some conniving monster that you used to be.

Sheila: Because I’m not.

Steffy: Then prove it. Tell me that you’re still trying to make inroads with finn. That you’re still trying to win my mother over, infiltrate my family, that’s been your plan all along, right? My mother convinced me to have you over. Is that what you’re trying to do? Do you want one more time at my house?

Sheila: Your mother is a very kind, generous woman.

Steffy: I’m not as forgiving.

Sheila: Look, steffy, we– we– we both want the same things. I– I love finn. I want to see him happy. And I adore my grandson, hayes. I want what’s best for all of you.

Steffy: And what’s that? To get to know you better?

Sheila: For your father and mother to be reunited. Brooke has kept them apart for far too long. Your mother has been watching the love of her life being betrayed and taken advantage of. Taylor has a– a real chance with him now. I want that for her. I’m not the enemy here, steffy. You have no idea what I would do to bring your family together. I know you don’t want to hear it, but it is– it’s true. I already feel like I’m part of that. Finn is my son and hayes is my flesh and blood.

Steffy: You are not part of our lives. You never will be. You’re not our family. You’re not my mother’s friend. So you don’t get to have an opinion about her or my father. What you can do is leave. Stay away from my family. And that means everyone in my family, including thomas. That’s right. I saw the two of you in the alley behind il giardino. I was there. So you need to tell me right now what you two were doing. I want to know what’s going on between you and my brother.

Alexis: Ohh! [ Sniffs ]

Molly: Hey! I thought I heard you come in!

Alexis: Something smells incredible! You…cooked!

Molly: [ Laughs ]

TJ: Well, we cooked. As a thank-you for being so amazing and letting us stay here so long.

Alexis: Well, I didn’t cook, but I stopped at Eckert’s, so they cooked.

TJ: Ahh.

Molly: Mmm!

Alexis: Have some dessert for you. I’m gonna miss you guys.

Molly: Oh, well, it is a good thing you have such a compelling and demanding job to throw yourself into. That way, you’ll be too busy to miss us.

Phyllis: Lorraine! Sorry. Harmony.

Harmony: Hey. Thanks for coming. Lorraine’s in the past for a reason, so hope you didn’t call to reminisce. Working in New York was a long time ago. Things are a little fuzzy.

Phyllis: This is about something in the here and now.

Harmony: Okay. What’s on your mind?

Phyllis: We need to talk about you and Nina.

Nina: Where’s my aunt?

Scott: Uh, she’s running a little behind.

Nina: [ Sighs ] Alright. I’ll be at a table.

Scott: Wait, wait. Whoa, whoa. Hang on. Hang on. Come on, now. Come. Come on. Sit down. I kept you out of prison. Can you at least sit with me while we wait for Liesl?

Nina: Fine.

Scott: Okay. Ahh. There we go. Bygones be bygones, huh?

Marshall: Why were you talking with Sonny Corinthos?

Curtis: We were talking about a run-in you two had. Care to explain?

Marshall: What exactly did he say?

Curtis: He said that you’d been hostile. And I know it’s not the first time. Why is that?

Marshall: [ Chuckles ] Told you before. I don’t trust Sonny’s type.

Curtis: Yeah, well, I have noticed that every time Sonny’s name is mentioned, you have a strong reaction. It almost feels personal.

Marshall: Well, I have a personal aversion to mob kingpins.

Curtis: Marshall, look. I know you can duck and dodge with the best of them. Hell, you’ve been doing that since you’ve arrived in Port Charles. But if bringing you into my life means bringing trouble to the doorstep of the house that Portia and I share… man, I need to know.

Esme: I have nowhere to go. Is there any way I could stay with you?

Portia: I bet you anything that that girl is the one behind the video of Joss and Cam. Ugh. I’m just so relieved that Trina is finally out of Esme’s orbit.

Taggert: Yeah, she’s a piece of work, that one. Takes every little bit of me not to give old Esme and lover-boy Spencer a piece of my mind.

Portia: If I have to bite my tongue, so can you.

Taggert: [ Sighs ]

Portia: [ Chuckles ] Besides, Trina would be mortified.

Taggert: Yeah, well, that’s the only thing stopping me.

Portia: Have I told you recently what a good father you are?

Taggert: Having a great daughter like Trina makes it easy. I got lucky.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Dante: Josslyn. Hey.

Josslyn: Hey.

Dante: What are you doing here? Are you looking for Detective Lopez?

Josslyn: No, no. Actually, I’m just waiting for Trina. Commissioner Ashford says she has a couple questions for her. Shouldn’t take long.

Dante: Right. Uh… you might want to head home because it might take longer than you think.

Jordan: Have a seat. This is just an informal chat, but it might disrupt your plans for the evening. Is there anyone you need to call?

Trina: I’m missing a lecture. But I can get the notes from my study partner. This is more important.

Jordan: I see. Well, as you’ve already figured out, I’ve called you in because we’re investigating what happened to Josslyn and Cameron. Are you comfortable answering a few questions?

Trina: Ask me anything. I want to help you find the person that set my friends up. And I hope you make them pay for it.

Nikolas: You want to stay at Wyndemere?

Esme: I know it’s an imposition, but it wouldn’t be forever. Just until I can get on my feet.

Nikolas: You have to understand — you and Spencer have broken up. Having you come and stay in his family home, it would put me in an awkward position, Esme, especially given the fragile state of Spencer and my relationship.

Esme: I understand.

Nikolas: I’m so glad.

Esme: You’ve turned your back on me, too.

Josslyn: Really don’t mind waiting for Trina to be done. I mean, she’s had a lot to deal with since that night at the cabin.

Dante: Well, I think you’ve had the most to deal with since that night at the cabin. Trina’s your friend. She wants to help you.

Josslyn: Trina’s my best friend. And the person that you should be talking to is Spencer’s psycho girlfriend, Esme Prince. Have you brought her in yet?

Esme: You believe the horrible things people are saying about me.

Nikolas: Esme, I’m no stranger to unfair accusations. I don’t believe everything I hear.

Esme: Too bad Spence doesn’t share your discernment. He’s taking Trina’s word over mine.

Nikolas: It is hard to believe that Trina would betray Joss and Cam in that way.

Esme: Trina’s got everybody fooled. Believe me, she is no saint.

Nikolas: I don’t believe in labeling people saints or sinners. Everyone is capable of both. But I do trust my wife’s instincts, and Ava thinks very highly of Trina.

Esme: Right. Much more highly than she thinks of me.

Jordan: Trina, you don’t recall seeing anyone enter Josslyn and Cameron’s room at the cabin besides them?

Trina: No. But there was plenty of chances for her to do it.

Jordan: Her?

Trina: Esme Prince. She’s behind this.

Jordan: Both Josslyn and Cameron’s statements indicate that Spencer and Esme left earlier that evening. Did you see or hear anything that would lead you to believe it was Esme who set up the camera?

Trina: [ Exhales sharply ] Nothing concrete, but who else would have done it? There were big blocks of time when we were all in the cabin and Esme was unaccounted for. She had means, motive, and opportunity.

Jordan: Where were you when Spencer and Esme left?

Trina: I was in my room. Uh, I didn’t actually see them leave.

Jordan: How long were you in your room?

Trina: A few hours. I was feeling a bit…off.

Jordan: I know about the drinking game, and although I do not condone underage drinking, that’s not what I’m interested in right now.

Trina: [ Sighs ] Clearly, I’m a lightweight when it comes to drinking. I had one hot toddy, and it, like, put me out.

Jordan: You blacked out.

Trina: Yeah. Pretty much.

Jordan: Let me remind you, even though this is just an informal conversation, you can call a parent or legal advocate.

Trina: Thanks. But I don’t want to bother them. Besides, I have nothing to hide.

Marshall: I doubt any of this will come knocking at your — your new home, but your club, man, that’s a different story.

Curtis: What about The Savoy?

Marshall: Curtis, I’ve worked enough clubs as a musician to see how these mob types, they — they get their hooks into club owners, and then — then their clubs become their personal playground.

Curtis: There have been offers, and I have refused them.

Marshall: See? See? And those offers, they can quickly become demands.

Curtis: That’s not the case with Sonny.

Marshall: Where do you get the notion that Sonny corinthos is some sort of benevolent don? TJ wants to believe this, too.

Curtis: Years ago, TJ witnessed a shooting. Jordan and I were limited as to what we could do, and… Sonny was there to protect him.

Marshall: Whew. I never knew that.

Curtis: I wouldn’t call the man benevolent, but he is most certainly conscientious. He was there for TJ when it mattered most.

Marshall: Well, my issue with Sonny isn’t personal. I just don’t want the man to suddenly decide to call in his debts.

Curtis: You sure that’s all it is?

Phyllis: I couldn’t violate Nina’s privacy back in the day. But now I can tell you that Nina was my patient and in a coma. Nina gave birth, and her mother tricked me into giving her child away.

Harmony: That’s so tragic. Um, why are you telling me this?

Phyllis: To make you understand. Nina’s had so much loss in her life, yet she still has the capacity to love. That love extends to the grandson you two share. So talk to your daughter. Convince Willow and Michael that Nina is no threat to Wiley. You have a winning way about you. I remember how well you got along with Nina’s mother, Madeline.

Nina: Scotty, you and Aunt Liesl conspired without me knowing, and you put Willow on the stand.

Scott: Yeah, yeah, I know. To save you from jail! Now, I’m not going to apologize for that.

Nina: Well, I’m not going to apologize for resenting you for ignoring my wishes.

Scott: Yeah, but — [ Sighs ] See, the reason why I did that was ’cause I knew you wouldn’t approve of my strategy. And I can see why you feel like you were blindsided in — in court.

Nina: Well, that almost sounded like an apology.

Scott: Well, that’s about the best you’re gonna get from me because I’m not sorry for keeping you out of jail. So come on. Let’s — let’s put this behind us. You’re Liesl’s niece, and I’m her boyfriend.

Nina: What is taking her so long?!

Scott: Rush hour.

Nina: [ Groans ] Okay. I suppose I only have two options here. “A,” I could reschedule.

Scott: Yeah? Two?

Nina: Or, “B,” order a cocktail and… enjoy the company.

Scott: Trish. Two martinis. On me.

Alexis: Well, you don’t have to worry about me being alone because Harmony is gonna stay here for a little bit. Quelle surprise. It appears you have an opinion about that.

Molly: Well, inviting Harmony to live here is a big deal.

Alexis: Honey, she’s having a hard time. She’s just gonna stay here until she can afford a place of her own.

Molly: Where’s she been staying? Her car? What happened?

Alexis: None of your business. Again with the eyes. Alright. Listen. Why don’t you just use your words, get it all out, get it off your chest so I don’t have to stand here and be questioned like a little girl?

Jordan: The reason I called you in here is because we received a call on the tip line implicating you in what happened to Josslyn and Cameron. The caller claims to have seen you watching the video on your phone weeks ago, well before the video was released online.

Trina: [ Scoffs ] No, that’s — that’s impossible. I never had that video on my phone except when someone sent it to me. And even then, I deleted it right away. Wait. I-I can prove it. Check my phone.

Jordan: Trina, you are not required to hand over your phone.

Trina: It’s fine. I’m volunteering. I want you to know that this “tipster,” who I’m going to bet is Esme, is lying. I’m sorry. There’s like a thousand things in my bag.

Jordan: Can you describe your phone?

Trina: Black smartphone with a purple case.

Jordan: And you only have one?

Trina: Why would I need two? Here it is.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Jordan: I thought you only had one phone.

Trina: I do. It’s my study partner. Wondering why I missed lecture. This is my phone.

Jordan: Then who does this belong to?

Trina: I have no clue. Please. Believe me. I-I have no idea how that one got in my bag.

Scott: How’s the Colonel? You know, the Kentucky Fried brother of Cyrus?

Nina: Oh, that’s just great. Ava’s been talking. Did she also tell you that I’m considering suing for visitation of Wiley?

Scott: You mean petitioning for visitation because you still got to go to court, and it’s — it’s kind of a tough sell.

Nina: No, that’s not how Martin described it.

Scott: Yeah, well, he might have oversold it to you. You know, uh, billable hours.

Nina: Are you saying that a New York State law won’t guarantee that I have access to my own grandson?

Scott: You have a standing for a petition.

Nina: That’s just great. Martin’s not in Port Charles right now. He’s checking on his mother. So we’ve put a pin in my legal action.

Scott: Well, now… I’m available. Oh! Family rate.

Nina: I really don’t think it’d be a good idea for you to represent me again. Plus, I have a plan in the works, and it does not involve the inside of a courtroom.

Scott: Now, why is that? Why don’t you want to go down the legal road? Is it the same reason why you didn’t want me to put Willow on the stand?

Phyllis: Your friendship with Madeline reeves was such a surprise. Whew. She was an ice queen. So cold to anyone she considered to be “the help.”

Harmony: Are you sure you’re remembering correctly? Because I-I actually don’t remember a Madeline reeves.

Phyllis: Oh. Sure you do. The attractive blonde in the penthouse apartment? The two of you used to walk dogs together.

Harmony: Oh. Right. Yes. With the — with the toy poodle. Yeah. Um, I didn’t know she was Nina’s mother. Mm-hmm. I just knew her as Madeline. And we were not friends. We were — we were, like, cordial at best.

Phyllis: Hmm. That’s not how it looked to me. I remember you laughing and talking together. I was shocked that she could be that friendly to anyone.

Harmony: I see what’s going on here. Yeah. You didn’t — you didn’t call me of your own accord. Well, you can pass this message on to Nina. Point taken. It’s under consideration. Good day.

Curtis: Okay. Let’s put this to rest right now. Your issue with Sonny Corinthos, it has nothing to do with why you were hiding all those years?

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Curtis: Excuse me. I got to take this. Do what you gotta do, son.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Curtis: Well, I’m glad you decided to call me. I could definitely use your help.

Jordan: I haven’t changed my mind about Marshall’s sealed records. This is about something else entirely.

Curtis: What is it?

Jordan: Well, since we recently discussed ethics, I need your advice.

Curtis: My advice about what?

Jordan: Well, you know how a member of law enforcement should not contact the family of a suspect being questioned? What about contacting a family friend?

Curtis: Uh, well, that depends on the suspect in the situation.

Jordan: Suppose the P.O.I. Is the daughter of a longtime friend and former partner of said law-enforcement officer. Maybe there’s some ethical space to contact a family friend, someone who’s close to the mother of the suspect?

Curtis: You’re talking about Trina. Jordan, what’s going on?

Jordan: This is hypothetical. I’m just wondering if I should contact a family friend to let them know that a young lady is being questioned at the station right now and has refused legal counsel.

Curtis: Hypothetically, that friend of the family would be grateful. Thanks, Jordan. Uh, something’s come up with Trina. We’ll continue this conversation later?

Marshall: Of course. Everything alright?

[ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ]

Marshall: Take care of your family, son. ‘Cause I’m definitely gonna take care of mine.

Portia: This is really nice. I mean, we’ve always been wonderful co-parents, but I’m just glad that we’re still friends. And I really appreciate you wishing me and Curtis well. [ Chuckles ] Are you really good with us moving in together?

Taggert: And moving on? I mean, Portia — you, me, Trina, we’re family. Why wouldn’t I be okay with my family being happy?

[ Cellphone rings ]

Portia: Oh! Were your ears burning? Trina’s where?

Nikolas: Ava and I are grateful that you encouraged Spencer to reconcile with us.

Esme: But her gratitude stops short of letting me sleep under her roof. She’ll forgive Spence because he’s your son, but not me.

Nikolas: That’s unfair.

Esme: Ava doesn’t know what it’s like to be abandoned. I mean, not the way that Spence and I do. And you… Spence told me how you grew up — first in Greece, then out on Spoon Island, isolated, not even knowing your mother until you were 16.

Nikolas: Those were lonely days.

Esme: I thought my lonely days were over when I met Spence. I was an orphan. After my parents died, it was just me and my nanny. Then she took another position, and I was sent away to school. Spence understood because he felt that pain himself. He became my family. Now he has his family back, and I no longer have him. I have no one.

Nikolas: I’m sorry. This has been so hard on you, Esme. But I can’t appear to take sides.

Esme: Then I guess I’ll have to leave Port Charles. I’m out of places to stay or people that care about me. Everyone hates me here.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Nikolas: I’m sorry. Esme, sit tight. We’ll figure something out. Hi. I’m at the restaurant.

Esme: Wonder where they’re rushing off to. To Trina, the saint.

Alexis: I mean, any more issues you can tell me. Just, you know, do it now because she’s gonna be here any minute.

Molly: Harmony’s coming for dinner?

Alexis: Is that a problem?

TJ: Alexis, w-we don’t know Harmony well enough to have any issues with her, but Shawn was concerned and he wanted us to keep an eye out on her.

Alexis: Really?

Molly: Mom. Okay. Shawn cares about you. You know he does. But he doesn’t really trust Harmony, and he’s concerned that she still has some secrets.

Alexis: Who doesn’t? And whatever secrets Harmony may have does not concern you, you, or Shawn.

[ Door opens ]

[ Harmony clears throat ]

[ Door closes ]

Harmony: [ Chuckles ] Guess my keys work. Hi.

Nina: There are no messages. She hasn’t — she hasn’t responded to my texts!

Scott: I’m — I’m sure she’ll be along.

Nina: You don’t seem concerned or the least bit worried. Wait a second. Did Liesl set me up and she made me sit with you while I was waiting for her?

Scott: I can’t confirm that. Or deny it.

Nina: Oh, okay. That’s it. I am out of here. I cannot believe that you manipulated me again.

Scott: Wait a minute. I thought we were over this Willow thing.

Nina: Well, you thought wrong. We’re not.

Scott: Ohh. Come on. You know what? I-I’m gonna give it to you straight. The reason why you didn’t want me to put Willow on the stand is the same reason why you don’t want to drag Michael into court over Wiley. Because you have it bad for Sonny.

Nina: I really don’t think that that’s any of your business.

Scott: W-what is it about Sonny? Is — is it the slicked-back hair? What is his real appeal?

Nina: Scott, there’s more to Sonny than you know. He’s not — he’s not immune to pain and loss.

Scott: [ Sighs ] Yeah, he has a very chaotic life, so he’s had a lot of losses. But you’re not answering my question. Can you deny that you’re not in love with Sonny? I thought so. So I have a little piece of advice for you. I suggest you get off this ride, go through the gift shop, and never, ever look back!

Josslyn: Dante. What is going on? I mean, why is Trina in the interrogation room?

Dante: We have to talk to everyone who was at the cabin that night. Trina, Spencer, Esme. Everyone’s included in that.

Josslyn: Yeah, but the interview started in the commissioner’s office, so why are we moving to the interrogation room? I mean, I thought that this was just routine.

Jordan: Dante.

Dante: I gotta get back to work. Are you sure you want to hang here?

Josslyn: Yeah. I-I told Trina I’d wait. So I’m gonna wait.

Dante: Okay. Purple case, like the tipster described.

Jordan: Trina claims this isn’t her phone. She’s got another one.

Dante: So this is ours to examine?

Jordan: There’s no password protection.

Dante: That’s a little too convenient.

Jordan: Indeed.

Dante: I’ll get this down to forensics.

Jordan: Okay.

Taggert: Where’s my daughter?! Jordan! I thought we were friends.

Harmony: Um, I think I’ve caused enough problems for tonight. Thank you so much for a lovely dinner, but I’m gonna go and let you guys have your last night here together alone.

Molly: No. Absolutely not. Look. TJ and I will go. My mother’s upset with us.

Alexis: No. I’m not upset with you. I’m upset with Shawn, who overstepped and put you in an awkward position… which you fully embraced.

Harmony: I’m — I’m — I’m just gonna go.

Alexis: Stay right there.

Molly: Look, Shawn and my mother go way back, and he’s very protective of her, as are we.

TJ: Right. And, Alexis, I understand your outrage, and I wish Shawn did not ask us to play watchdog. Any concerns he had, he should have shared directly with you.

Alexis: Oh, he did. I just don’t get if he trusts me with his business why doesn’t he trust me with my own life?

Harmony: Well, I, for one, am happy that Shawn asked molly and TJ to spy on me.

Harmony: Alexis has been a good, supportive friend, so I get Shawn’s impulse. I mean, I wouldn’t want to let anyone hurt her, either. And you guys should know that Shawn put me on notice directly. So I’m not surprised that he asked Molly and TJ to look out for you. And you should be appreciative that you have friends who care and love you.

TJ: That is…a gracious way of looking at it, Harmony.

Harmony: Or it’s a ploy to get some pie. ‘Cause I’d really like some. It’s been a day.

[ Laughter ]

Molly: We’re on it.

Alexis: So, what else happened today besides my ex recruiting my daughter and her partner to spy on you?

Harmony: Try, um, Nina reeves enlisting a former colleague of mine to help her secure visitation with Wiley.

Nina: I know Sonny is no angel, okay? But neither is my Aunt Liesl. I mean, there are a lot of people who think that she is a menace, Scott. She’s done horrible things.

Scott: No, she’s not a menace anymore.

Nina: Okay. M-my point is… that… you’ve defied all the naysayers by finding happiness in the most unlikely partner, right? Why can’t I?

Nikolas: Sorry. That was my mother. She can’t make dinner. And since it appears the guest of honor isn’t bothering to show, I think the celebration is officially a bust.

Esme: I thought you and Spence were getting closer. I was so optimistic.

Nikolas: So was I. I don’t get it.

Esme: I mean, that’s Spence. It’s why I’ve had to stay on him about things, especially mending his relationship with you. I’m sorry I won’t be around to keep doing that.

Nikolas: I’ve noticed you put in that effort, and I’ve appreciated it, Esme. And I also appreciate how you’ve been there for Spencer when I wasn’t.

Esme: Well, I still believe that you two will, uh, work things out. Might take time. That’s all. In the meantime, I need to figure out my next step, starting with a place to stay.

Nikolas: I’ve been in your shoes. Unsure where to call home, surrounded by people without good intentions.

Esme: I’m strong. I’ll get through it.

Nikolas: You could. But you won’t have to. I can’t let you worry where you’re gonna lay your head at night.

Esme: Does this mean what I think it does?

Trina: You have to believe me. I-I don’t know where that second phone came from.

Portia: Baby, we know that it wasn’t yours.

Taggert: Why would you turn anything over without a warrant? Why would you talk to the cops without an attorney, baby?! If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a million times!

Portia: Marcus! That’s enough. What’s done is done. It —

Trina: I don’t think it was a big deal. Because I didn’t do anything wrong! I was with Jordan. Commissioner Ashford.

Taggert: Okay. Um, I understand. But remember, moving forward, there’s no such thing as casual talk with a cop. Anything you say can be used against you.

Trina:I just wanted to help Joss and Cam!

Portia: I understand that, and that’s very admirable of you, but now it’s time for you to help yourself.

Trina: What do I do?

Portia: You talk to no one, no one else, until our lawyer gets here. And your father and I are gonna get to the bottom of this.

Taggert: Yeah. Starting right now.

Portia: We’re gonna figure this out, and everything’s gonna be alright. Are you holding on okay?

Trina: [ Crying ] I just hate that I made you guys so upset. I’m so sorry for all of this.

Portia: Oh, sweetheart. We’re only upset because we know how unfair this is to you. You don’t need to be sorry. And I promise you this. Whoever did do this to you… they will be.

Scott: You cannot save Sonny.

Nina: Sonny doesn’t need to be saved, Scott. He just needs a partner who understands him. Someone who accepts him. Someone who will support him.

Scott: You don’t think Carly did that? They went through many storms together, but in the end… he ended up letting her down. So what makes you think he’s not gonna do that to you?

Nina: I don’t know. He might. But I want to try.

Scott: [ Sighs ] There it is.

Nina: Okay. I’m calling it a night.

Scott: Okay. Let me say this real quick, then. You can’t have Wiley and Sonny. You got to make a choice. Who do you want — kid or the gangster? Who’s more important to you?

Alexis: I really understand you not wanting to pressure Willow with everything that’s going on. And I really appreciate you overlooking all the stuff about the secrets and the kids and all of that.

Harmony: Oh…

Alexis: I hope you know that whatever you say to me is held in confidence.

Harmony: I do feel safe with you. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go see if I can get some of that pie.

Alexis: Ohh!

Harmony: Oh, my goodness. Shoot. I’m so sorry.

Alexis: Alright. It’s alright.

Molly: It’s pie time whew. Okay. I’ll get it.

TJ: -Whoa.

Harmony: -I’m s–

Molly: What’s going on?

Harmony: -Got a spill. Sorry. -Oh.

Alexis: It’s just a little spill.

Marshall: Thank you… gracious lady.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm.

Marshall: Alright.

Phyllis: Marshall. I don’t want to pry, but I get the feeling you’ve lived a lot of life. I just want you to know anytime you need a friendly ear…

Marshall: You’re an insightful lady, Phyllis. And, yeah, you’re right. My life’s had twists and turns, mostly without my family, without my people. [ Chuckles ] Life, it’s tough. It’s just tough without connections.

Phyllis: Well, you don’t have to go through life alone. Sometimes you choose your family, too.

Marshall: [ Chuckles ]

Phyllis: You just never know. You might come across someone for a reason. That happened with me and my friends Sonny and Nina. They’ve become family. They’ve been there for me like nobody else. They’re actually why I’m in Port Charles.

Marshall: You’re talking about Sonny Corinthos?

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. This is his place. He bought it and gave me this job after I lost Lenny and The Tan-O. I can never repay his support and generosity. Nina’s, too. But I vow to always be there for them.

Marshall: I feel the same way about protecting my family. I wasn’t here for them, but I’m here now, and I’ll fight for them, no matter the cost.

Jordan: The tipster said the evidence was on a phone inside of Trina’s bag.

Curtis: That sounds a little too neat.

Jordan: I don’t disagree, but it’s enough detail to create reasonable suspicion of a crime. Trina shouldn’t have handed that phone over.

[ Door opens ]

Taggert: How could you?! We were partners!

Curtis: Whoa. Taggert. Easy. Jordan’s just doing our job.

Taggert: And where the hell do you get off questioning her without an attorney?!

Jordan: I asked, and she declined. It wasn’t official.

Taggert: Oh. Yea– really?! But it is now, right?

Jordan: I had no choice, Taggert. I have to investigate.

[ Knock on door ]

Dante: A word?

Jordan: Yeah.

Taggert: What the hell?!

Curtis: Look, uh, you have every right to be upset, okay? Just go easy on Jordan.

Taggert: My kid is in a police interrogation room. My daughter is being framed. Trina?! Really?! Come on, man. We know she wouldn’t do this!

Curtis: And that’s weighing on Jordan, which is probably why she, uh, reached out to me to loop you and Portia in. Taggert, no one wants to see Trina get railroaded.

Jordan: Taggert.

[ Door closes ]

Taggert: I have a feeling I’m not gonna like what you have to say.

Jordan: You won’t. And trust me, I don’t like having to say it, either.

Portia: Jordan. Tell Trina not to worry.

Jordan: Trina, please come with me.

Portia: Where, exactly?

Jordan: Booking.

Nina: Scott, you’re out of time and I’m out of patience. So… ohh! Thank you for the drink. And, no, thank you, for the unsolicited advice.

Scott: Well — well — h-hang on here. I hope you listened to everything I said, because if Wiley is what you want, I will do everything in my power to get that kid for you. But if it’s Sonny, then you’re on your own. And God help you.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Nina: [ Gasps ] Hey. Phyllis. How’d it go?

Phyllis: I did what you asked and spoke with Harmony.

Nina: And?

Phyllis: It didn’t go as well as I’d hoped.

Nina: [ Sighs ]

Alexis: It’s not coming out. I probably — I should probably use some seltzer.

Harmony: No, no. No need. I’ve got everything right here.

Alexis: Oh. You found the carpet cleaner.

Harmony: Yeah.

Alexis: How’d you know that was in the basement?

Harmony: I don’t know. I guess just, like, years of being a caregiver gives you a sense of where people keep things. I hope you don’t mind. Here. I got it.

Alexis: Uh, no. It’s your home, too. For now.

Nikolas: It’s not five-star accommodations, but I’ll rent the room above Kelly’s for you to stay short-term.

Esme: Kelly’s. I, um, didn’t know there was lodging there.

Nikolas: There is.

Esme: Thank you. I’ll be all alone, but at least I won’t be on the streets.

Nikolas: You won’t be alone. I’ll stop in and check on you. Whatever the state of your relationship with Spencer, you won’t be abandoned.

Esme: Thank you, thank you, thank you! You saved my life.

Portia: Commissioner Ashford! You tell me what you’re trying to book my daughter for.

Jordan: The phone Trina handed over directly links her to the illegal possession and dissemination of unlawfully taped, sexually explicit images.

[ Taggert scoffs ]

Josslyn: That’s — that’s impossible! You have the wrong person!

Trina: It wasn’t me, Joss! It was Esme! Esme Prince!

Taggert: Trina, Trina, Trina. Shh!

Trina: She set me up!

Taggert: Trina! Not another word until we get an attorney here.

Josslyn: No! No. Trina’s right. And it was Esme. It was Esme prince! She set this whole thing up! Why aren’t you investigating Esme? I told Detective Lopez in my statement that it was her.

Dante: Okay, okay. Josslyn, this is not the time or the place. You got to calm down, or you got to leave.

Portia: Listen to me, honey. It’s gonna be okay. I don’t want you to worry. It’s gonna be fine. It’s gonna be okay.

Jordan: Detective.

Portia: No. Jordan. Don’t do this. You know her! Really?

Dante: [ Sighs ] Trina Robinson, you’re under arrest.

Portia: It’s gonna be okay.

Dante: You have the right to remain silent. Should you give up that right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights as I’ve explained them to you?

Trina: Yes.

Portia: [ Crying ]

On the next “General Hospital” —

Sam: What are you doing her?

Jordan (to Laura): There’s another piece of the puzzle I need to make you aware of.

Harmony to Alexis: Have you made any decisions I need to know about?

Recap written by Suzanne

Harmony visits Phyllis, who tells her about Nina’s past. She asks her to speak with Willow on Nina’s behalf, since she’s no danger to Wiley. She mentions that Harmony had a way with people, including Nina’s mother, Madeline. Harmony pretends not to remember Madeline and that she didn’t know she was Nina’s mother. She suddenly thinks that Nina and Phyllis are trying to blackmail her into doing what they want.

TJ and Molly cooked dinner for Alexis to thank her for letting them stay with her. Molly is not happy to hear that Harmony will be staying with Alexis after they leave and is shocked that Alexis invited her for dinner. TJ mentions that Shawn asked them to watch out for Harmony, whom he doesn’t trust. Harmony arrives, using the keys Alexis gave her. After dinner, Harmony tries to give them some time alone, but they insist she stay. Harmony tells them that she’s glad Shawn wants them to spy on her. Later, she spills coffee and runs out of the room. She brings back cleaner for the rug.

Nina looks for Liesl at the Metro Court but finds Scotty instead. She’s still annoyed with him for putting Willow on the stand, even though it kept her out of jail. They have drinks together and chat about trying to sue for visitation. He doesn’t think that will work out for her, but he’s more interested in what secrets she’s keeping about Willow. Nina is livid to find that Aunt Liesl isn’t showing up and wanted her to talk to Scott. Scott thinks that her secret is that she’s crazy about Sonny, and he wonders what all the women see in him. He advises her to run while she can. They argue about Sonny. Scotty tells her that she can’t have both Sonny and Wiley. She has to choose. She thanks him for his advice and asks Phyllis about how it went with Harmony, but Phyllis informs her that it didn’t go well.

Trina answers Jordan’s questions at the police station while Joss waits for her friend. Trina gets out her purse so she can show her phone to Jordan. However, she finds two in her bag that look exactly the same.

Curtis wants to know why Marshall is so hostile to Sonny. Marshall is worried that mobsters will try to take over Curtis’ club and get him involved in illegal activities. Curtis lets him know that Sonny did them favors in the past, so he doesn’t think he has to worry about him. He still thinks Marshall is hiding something. Curtis gets a call from Jordan; she tells him in a circumspect way about Trina being at the police station.

At the Metro Court, Esme asks Nikolas if she could stay with him, since she has nowhere else to go. He tells her that she can’t stay there, since she and Spencer have broken up. It puts him in a weird position. Esme turns on the “poor little me” act. Nikolas agrees to put her up in the room above Kelly’s until she can find a place. He assures her that he’ll check on her, so she won’t be abandoned. Esme throws herself into his arms, hugging him and saying he saved her life.

Portia and Taggert are at a nearby table. Portia is sure that Esme is the one who set up Trina. Portia is glad they can still be friends. Curtis phones to tell her about Trina. They go to visit Trina at the police station. She swears she didn’t know anything about the second phone. They assure her that they believe her. Taggert is annoyed that she’s been cooperating with the police. Trina is sorry that they’re upset. Jordan and Curtis agree that the evidence against Trina looks suspicious. Taggert comes in and reads them the riot act. Jordan is forced to book Trina. Joss is there and tells her that Trina is innocent. Trina protests that Esme is the one who did it, but Taggert tells her to stop talking without her attorney. Joss, upset, says that Trina is right. Dante tells her to calm down or leave, and then he reads Trina her rights and arrests her.

Phyllis and Marshall find that they have one thing in common — how they’ll fight for their family. He’s surprised that she speaks so highly of Sonny.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Victor: Come in. Hello, son.

Nick: I got here as fast as i could. Has anybody heard from victoria?

Victor: No. Not after she bolted yesterday, when she found out that ashland had been lying to her about his cancer.

Nick: I was really hoping she would reach out to one of us, but she’s not returning any of my calls or texts.

Nikki: We have to give her some space for now.

Nick: Mom, do you really think that’s the best plan here? I mean, we don’t know where her head’s at or how she’s dealing with any of this.

Victor: Well, I have it on good authority that she spent the night in a hotel.

Nick: Well, I was hoping you would say that, that your people are keeping an eye on her.

Nikki: She has a lot to deal with. Finding out that she’s been lied to about everything and that her marriage is a sham.

Victor: You know, I just have a feeling that she’ll come out stronger and wiser after all this. I’m concerned about what ashland locke will do.

Nikki: After that dramatic exit he made.

Victor: Yeah.

Nick: I think he just did that to buy him some time so he can plan his next move.

Ashland: It doesn’t matter what I say or how I defend myself against this attack. I wish it was enough for you… to know that I love you with all my heart. Because your love means everything to me. You have changed my life. But this — this right here… this is obviously never going to work. I’m done trying.

Victoria: Billy.

Billy: You look like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders. Is everything okay?

Victoria: Yeah, of course it’s okay.

Billy: Alright, do you expect me to believe that and walk away? ‘Cause I think we both know that that’s not gonna happen, and i don’t think it’s about the kids because I just talked to them and they are loving school.

Victoria: I miss them so much.

Billy: Yeah, so do I.

Victoria: But I’m thankful they’re not here right now.

Billy: What’s going on, vick? Did ashland take a turn for the worse?

Sally: Oh, did you feel that? Looked at you and then the temperature dipped about 50 degrees.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Well, a lot went down last night. Things got blown wide open with him and victoria. Anger, recrimination, shattered lives. It’s a volatile situation and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Some people might look at what happened and think it’s time to panic.

Sally: But you see a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Adam: Exactly.

Sally: I will grab us a table.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] You read my mind.

Ashland: You see, that’s the problem with living in a small town. You try to avoid someone, and there he is every time.

Adam: Well, I have a solution. Leave genoa city.

Ashland: Why would I want to do that?

Adam: Shame, embarrassment, being exposed. I mean, I can’t imagine there’s a whole lot of people that want you to stay. Even victoria has accepted the truth.

Ashland: Adam, you don’t want to toy with me today, believe me.

Adam: You know what? You’re right. I mean, why waste time with small talk when I would much rather make a deal. I brought in ensure max protein,

Chelsea: Well, thank you so much. It was great seeing you again, and your thoughts were invaluable as always. So we’ll talk soon.

[ Sighs ]

Rey: Work meeting?

Chelsea: Yeah.

Rey: Well, judging by that smile, it must’ve gone well.

Chelsea: Oh, this smile isn’t a barometer of anything. I’ve been faking it for so long, my face is starting to hurt.

Rey: No.

Chelsea: Yeah, really. Watch.

[ Groans ] So much better. It gets so painful after a while.

Rey: [ Laughs ] I’m sorry, I’m sorry, i shouldn’t be laughing. That’s —

Chelsea: No, don’t stop on my account. It’s funny. The lengths we’ll go to to show the world we’re perfect and perky.

Rey: Oh, I know, right? It’s like those influencers on social media — not a hair out of place, every day’s a vacation in paradise.

Chelsea: It’s exhausting. I don’t know how they do it.

Rey: [ Sighs ] Right? I mean, who has that much time?

Chelsea: I’d much rather hang out with someone who’s seen me at my worst, who has zero expectations. Someone who’s totally authentic. Someone I can be 100% comfortable with.

Rey: I couldn’t agree more.

Nikki: We need to find a way to help victoria get through this while respecting her privacy.

Nick: We are all in agreement about that. My concern is her next move might be confronting ashland.

Victor: Whatever retaliation she comes up with is not gonna be punishment enough.

Nick: I still can’t believe that he could do that. That he could stand up there in front of all of us, in front of her family and her friends, and say those vows to her, to make her feel more loved and valued than ever and know that it was all a lie. I think it’s gonna take a huge toll on her to face him.

Victor: You know he’s gonna take advantage of that. You know that.

Nick: I just wish there was a way for me to get him out of town, you know, for good. Out of her life like he never existed so she can be done with him forever.

Nikki: I know, but, honey, she wouldn’t be done with him. I know you want to protect your sister from more pain, but that’s not the answer.

Billy: Look, we have been through a lot together, okay? Some crazy, roller-coaster type stuff, but there is one thing in our life that will always be constant.

Victoria: And what would that be?

Billy: I care about you and your happiness, and I always will.

Victoria: I suppose that’s why you felt like you had to blow up my wedding and humiliate me in public? Because you just didn’t think i was quite happy enough.

Billy: No, that was me worried that you were making a mistake, and if you’re talking about that video that proved ashland was a piece of work, i didn’t go through with that. I deleted that.

Victoria: Please don’t sit there and tell me how altruistic you were and that you’ve done everything out of the goodness of your heart. You had that article written about him because you wanted to wreck his reputation.

Billy: Vick, I did that to protect myself and my company, and for good reason. You know our systems were hacked.

Victoria: Oh, it’s never your fault, is it?

Billy: Everything in that article about ashland was 100% true. He did all those things. And yet I’m the one that took the hit. I lost my credibility and my job.

Victoria: You chose to walk away.

Billy: No, I swallowed all my doubts because I wanted to make sure that you were as happy as possible. And believe me, I wished — i hoped that I was wrong about him.

Victoria: No, you didn’T. No, you didn’T. You wanted all of those things to be true, that ashland couldn’t be trusted, that I had no business marrying him in the first place. And you warned me over and over again, but I ignored you. Well, congratulations, billy. You were right all along. How did olay top expensive creams?

Rey: So who was that anyway?

Chelsea: The woman I was just meeting with? Oh, she’s this fabulous fabric designer. She works with gorgeous materials. I have some ideas of patterns I’d like to use, so we’re hoping we can make some magic together.

Rey: Oh, that’ll be fun.

Chelsea: It should be, but i couldn’t even focus on anything she was saying, ’cause I was thinking about connor.

Rey: Everything okay?

Chelsea: What do you call when a kid you’ve known his entire life, that you love with your whole heart, you suddenly don’t recognize him anymore?

Rey: Oh, yeah, he’s doing that preteen thing. What’s going on?

Chelsea: I swear, rey, sometimes — no, no, no, sorry, you were here for a reason. I am not gonna dump all this on you.

Rey: Hey, hey, hey. I have a while before I have to head back to the station.

Chelsea: Oh. You’re just stopping by the spa for a little glow-up.

Rey: How’d you guess?

Chelsea: [ Chuckles ] Dropping in for a massage and pedicure?

Rey: Well, I wouldn’t say no to that, but actually I’m here to pick up a gift certificate for faith.

Chelsea: Oh, that’s sweet. Birthday?

Rey: The most difficult season in a high school senior’s life. Colleges are sending out their acceptance letters, and I figure if she gets into her top choices, it’s congratulations. But if not…

Chelsea: She can look forward to a day at the spa. That’s really thoughtful.

Rey: [ Chuckles ]

Chelsea: You’re a great stepdad.

Rey: Yeah, I like kids. I used to be one myself.

Chelsea: [ Gasps ] You don’t say.

Rey: What I’m saying is i have some time, and I’ve had a lot of experience with children and other humans, so…

Chelsea: So I can bend your ear?

Rey: Bend away.

Billy: Victoria, what did ashland do to you?

Victoria: [ Sighs ] It was all a lie.

Billy: What was?

Victoria: All of it. Everything. The cancer. Every moment we spent together. Every– everything. His deep love for me. Our connection. Every time I told myself that i was so lucky to be with him. Every time I defended him or stood beside him. All the times I was so terrified that he was going to die from the disease and all the nights and the days that I prayed we’d have some more time together — all of it.

[ Sighs ] It just feels like my whole world has fallen out from underneath my feet.

[ Voice breaking ] I’m — I’m so shattered.

Billy: Okay, I’m sorry, um… I just really need to understand what you’re saying here. Are you telling me that he lied about being sick?

Victoria: Yes, he did.

Billy: Oh, my god. I don’t even know what to say.

Victoria: I’m just so angry.

[ Inhales sharply ] I’m angry and I — I feel so regretful of the months that i directed that anger at you and nick and anyone that told me that ashland was gonna betray me.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Sighs ] I was angry at you for taking something away from me, something that I never had. This great love. The truth of all of it was just too much for me to even contemplate. But mostly, I’m so angry at ashland. I’m so angry at him, and I’m even more angry at myself for believing in him.

Ashland: What could you possibly have to offer that i would be interested in?

Adam: If you walk away from victoria and from newman/locke and you make a clean break, then newman media will not make it its mission to publish article after article about your cancer fraud. There will be plenty of people that are willing to go on the record with their anger and their outrage. Personal accounts of people that have been affected by cancer and are really suffering and will explain why you are the lowest of the low.

Ashland: You think I don’t know how to handle bad press?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] I’m thinking about harrison and how these lies will affect your son.

Ashland: Harrison is being raised by his biological father in milan.

Adam: You and I both know that biology doesn’t make a parent. That kid is the most important thing in your life. That is the only person that you truly care about. Everything you’ve done, everything that you have created is for harrison. Now, given the cold and calculated way you handled victoria, I know that you’re hoping everybody will assume that you feel the same indifference towards harrison, but you’ve shown yourself to be a patient man. You think long-term. You claim that you sent harrison away so you could shield him from witnessing your decline, and I got to say, it was a nice touch. But the truth is you wanted him packed away somewhere safe in case something went wrong. And it has. Now, I know what it’s like to want to shield your kid from the sins of your past. For me, it was just one article, and I had the newman resources and power to mitigate the damage that it caused. That’s the same kind of power and resources that is gonna be unleashed on you, and they will be relentless. Unsparing. And the fallout? Well, you can kiss your reunion that you wanted with harrison goodbye.

Ashland: I don’t respond well to threats.

Adam: Oh, you thought that was a threat? No, no, no, no. It was just a carefully considered offer. See, we know what you did and why you did it. And make no mistake, we have the proof. Now, I’m just trying to find a workable solution.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Nikki: Ashland needs to leave of his own volition, because if we try to force him out, he will come back even stronger. If victoria needs to confront him in order to find closure, we just have to let her do it.

Nick: You know, there’s another possibility that we need to be prepared for. That this latest revelation about ashland does not change victoria’s mind about him.

Victor: And I refuse to believe that she’d continue to ignore the obvious.

Nick: Dad, it might be easier to support and defend him than to accept what he’s done. You know, that she’s not the love of his life, she was just a way for him to get his hands on newman enterprises.

Nikki: Well, we have to protect victoria somehow. So what’s our next step?

Billy: What is his endgame here? I mean, how does anyone pretend to be dying to get what they want?

Victoria: [ Sighs ] I don’t know. I mean, all the evidence points to him lying about his cancer because he wanted people to sympathize with him and not see him for the shark that he is, so he could infiltrate newman.

Billy: So this is about your company?

Victoria: He wanted this merger from the day he stepped and he saw me as the way in. So he took advantage of my love and my ambition. I mean, I’m the weakness that he exploited.

Billy: Hold on a second here, okay? You stop that because you are not weak. You have never been weak. He is a parasitic son of a bitch that let his friend die and stole his name, and I wish that I could say I was surprised by this, but I’m not. It’s just confirmation of exactly who I thought he was the whole time.

Victoria: I should’ve listened to you.

Billy: [ Sighs ] Look, you’re not gonna get “i told you so” out of me, okay? Vick, I am so sorry that you are going through this. You don’t deserve any of this.

Victoria: I just can’t get the last time that I — I saw him out of my head. He told me how much he loved me and how profoundly I’ve changed his life. But I could see it in his eyes and I could hear it in his voice. He was trying so hard to convince me that everything he did was good and true. But then it happened, it’s like the mask just dropped away and i saw him for the monster that he is. And then I realized that everything that my family told me about him was true.

Billy: So what happens now?

Adam: Personally, I admire the sheer audacity of you pulled off, how you were able to do something so cunning and deceitful and just cruel. I mean, lie after lie about your past was exposed, and you were still able to get the newmans to sing your praises. I mean, sure, there were some people that had their doubts about you, of course, but you were able to get victor to see you as a younger version of himself. Overcoming an abusive father and a difficult past and then building an empire — I mean, yeah, sure, lies were told, documents were forged, inheritance were stolen, but those things, they happen. All of that could be overlooked because you made victoria so happy. And you were so convincing, you made her believe that you guys had a love that nobody could understand. It was you and victoria against the world. It was masterful. But, as a newman, I have to do my part to protect the family and the business. And let’s face it, you have nothing to defend yourself with.

Ashland: This isn’t over. And I am not giving up on victoria.

Adam: Ashland, you are a lot of things, but you are not delusional.

Ashland: We’re done.

Adam: You know, those articles I was talking about, they’re being fact-checked right now.

Ashland: [ Groans ]

Adam: I would not waste my time with the false bravado. So, you have my number.

Ashland: Hmm. Oh, by the way, don’t you ever talk to me about my son again ever. Everyone has a style…

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Chelsea: One minute, connor’s hugging me, telling me he wants to cook with me and watch movies, and the next, I’m the enemy. To be ignored and avoided at all costs. It’s like everything I do is wrong or embarrassing or ridiculous.

Rey: Fun times.

Chelsea: Yeah. But, you know, I can’t say i blame him. He had his heart set on adam and I getting back together, and that didn’t happen. Oh, and top of it, now he’s telling me that he misses all the sports he was playing at boarding school. Apparently, walnut grove isn’t focused or competitive enough. It’s like he had this vision of what his life was gonna look like when he came home, and none of that’s happened.

Rey: Mm. That’s got to be frustrating.

Chelsea: Yeah.

Rey: Of course, I’m not speaking from personal experience, since my life’s been without disappointment.

Chelsea: Of course, of course, join the club. Me, too.

Rey: Have you thought about sending him back to boarding school?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] I would hate it. But if that’s what’s gonna make him happy, how can I say no?

Rey: My opinion?

Chelsea: Please.

Rey: I think, as a parent, you got to think long-term. And right now connor is looking to fix things. Sometimes a change feels like a solution, but often it’s just a distraction.

Adam: How much could you hear?

Sally: Not one word. But I could tell it was high-stakes.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: Your body language gave it all away.

Adam: How?

Sally: Well, the more confident you got that you were gonna win, the more chill you looked.

Adam: Yeah?

Sally: Yeah, it was pretty clear how ashland felt about what you said and how you said it. He had no intention of leaving when we showed up, but after you went and talked to him, he could not get out of here fast enough.

Adam: You see, this is why i wanted to let you in on what’s going on at newman, because you’re intelligent, observant. You understand the game. You understand me.

Sally: Well, that is what a good coo should do.

Adam: So, um, here’s what i was talking to ashland about. Turns out he’s been lying about his cancer diagnosis, and we have the proof to back it up.

Sally: Oh, my god.

Adam: Yeah, you’re probably wondering why he did it, unless you’ve already figured that out.

Sally: Newman enterprises.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] You’re good. He was using his illness to win victoria’s trust and sympathy, so he was faking an illness to rush her into marriage and claim that they had to take advantage of the little time they had left.

Sally: Must have taken a ton of planning. All the lies he had to juggle, the people he had to convince, all the ways it could’ve gone wrong.

Adam: Well, there were plenty of warning signs along the way. You know, things kept coming up from ashland’s past, but he was able to use those revelations and his alleged terminal illness to sell that he was a changed man.

Sally: And content with cheering on victoria’s success from the sidelines.

Adam: Until his miraculous recovery that he received from his treatment in peru.

Sally: Which he used to persuade victoria to make him co-ceo of newman/locke.

Adam: Yes, bingo. Mission accomplished. I mean, imagine the fallout when this blows up. I told him what a series of articles might do if his son was to find out, what harrison would think to find out the kind of man that his father really is.

Sally: And what’d he say about that?

Adam: Well, he acted like it didn’t bother him, but I could tell that he was plotting his next move. I hope that he will realize he’s out of options and he will cut his losses.

Sally: Well, you know, he’s a ruthless businessman, I’m sure he’s able to compartmentalize his feelings about his son.

Adam: I don’t know. I think the stuff about his kid finding out the truth really got to him. I could tell. Question is, how is locke gonna play this?

Billy: What the hell is he up to? Honestly, I mean, this can’t be about money, right? He’s got enough money and wealth to buy and sell most small countries on the map, so what does he want?

Victoria: Not me. That’s clear now.

Billy: Well, he’s an idiot. Before the merger, he was top dog, he was king of the world at locke communications group. And then he merges with newman, he’s got to share all his shiny new toys. Unless his plan, vick —

Victoria: Unless he planned for something to happen to me when he was in a position to take over the company.

Chelsea: So how do you suggest I focus on long-term solutions with connor?

Rey: Just listen to him. Don’t rush in to anything.

Chelsea: But for a kid his age, a few weeks feels like an eternity.

Rey: That’s the thing, he’s acting like a kid, which he should. And I was raised by a single mom. I remember that I felt like i always had to take care of my mother. Things are different for connor. His dad is in his life, and he doesn’t feel the pressure of having to take on the responsibility of being the man of the house.

Chelsea: Which is why he’s fine leaving me and going back to boarding school.

Rey: He’s confident you’ll be okay without him. It’s a compliment to your parenting.

Chelsea: Well, I’m just trying to do a better job than anita. You saw firsthand what that was like.

Rey: Oh, you’re doing a great job.

Chelsea: Don’t say it if you don’t mean it.

Rey: I do. Don’t forget, I spent a lot of time with you and connor. I’ve seen how much he trusts you, how he feels safe enough to express how mad or frustrated he might get. He knows he can throw anything at you and you can handle it. He knows he can be himself without you judging him.

Chelsea: Given everything I’ve done, I’m not really in a position to judge anybody about anything.

Rey: Whatever the reason, it’s a big deal. He knows that he can come to you with anything, even the idea of going to boarding school. He’s a lucky kid. Did I say something wrong? Chelsea?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

Adam: Let’s make a list of cons by exposing ashland’s lies and that he can be tried in the court of public opinion.

Sally: Worst-case scenarios.

Adam: Well, if the world finds out about ashland’s trojan horse infiltration of the company, it could make the leadership at newman look stupid for falling for it.

Sally: Which is probably why ashland hasn’t given up and gone away.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: At least not yet.

Adam: We need to make him want to leave. We need to increase the pressure on him.

Sally: Any ideas?

Adam: Well, nobody wants to acknowledge victoria’s complicity in this mess, even if it is unwitting. She put the family company in jeopardy and she allowed herself to be completely taken in by him.

Sally: And you are the only one brave enough to admit that.

Adam: Mm-hmm. I just only hope that when the dust settles, my father faces the fact that his precious daughter put everything that he created, the legacy that he built, at risk.

Sally: Which definitely won’t bode well for victoria’s future at newman.

Adam: He can’t keep someone on like that. It’s not good for the company image, and he’s certainly got to have doubts about her judgment now.

Sally: Yeah, he’s gonna need someone to take over, someone he can trust.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Victoria’s in pain and we are plotting to take advantage of her downfall. Are we the worst?

Sally: Not in the least. This is a very necessary conversation. It is logical and practical because somebody has to keep their eye on the ball.

Nikki: There is no way that victoria will stay with ashland. I refuse to believe that.

Nick: Well, I don’t think we can just hope for the best. I mean, look at her history with the guy. Any time anyone raises any concerns about ashland, vick runs to his rescue.

Nikki: So what are you proposing?

Nick: I don’t know, mom. We need some contingency plan in case ashland does something unexpected.

Nikki: I mean, she couldn’t go back to him. Could she? I mean, after admitting that she knows ashland has been lying? What she needs right now is our support.

Victor: I got to be honest with both of you. I’ve had my doubts about ashland locke from the moment he stepped foot in our lives. I don’t trust him. But I let things be because i knew that he was making victoria very happy. She was in love with him. Now all I want to do is give her a big hug and make that excruciating pain she must be going through go away. But you’re right, sweetheart, we have to give her her own space. She needs to work out this whole problem on her own.

Nikki: I totally agree with you.

Victor: Yeah. But I want you both to know that I have my people keeping an eye on her. They know where she is at all times.

Billy: Has ashland ever done anything or said anything to you that might come across threatening or dangerous?

Victoria: No. I don’t think so.

Billy: I hate this.

Victoria: Why? Because you told me that I shouldn’t marry him and I didn’t listen to you?

Billy: No. No, I hate the fact that you even have to consider that he might be capable of doing anything to you to get you out of the way.

Victoria: I don’t know what he’s capable of, billy. I don’t know what he’s thinking or what he’s feeling.

Billy: He’s not feeling anything good, because he’s a heartless bastard.

Victoria: I don’t suppose you want to reconsider your stance on saying “I told you so”?

Billy: You don’t deserve this. You deserve to be happy, especially after everything i put you through.

Victoria: It’s totally different because you are a very good man, despite all your flaws.

Billy: Which are legion.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. Yes, they are.

Billy: [ Exhales sharply ] Yeah, we joke and we laugh a little bit, but it’s true. It’s taken me a long time to deal with some of my more stubborn demons.

Victoria: Oh, well, at least you acknowledge them and decided that you want to change your life, and now you’re doing the work to make it happen.

Billy: I’m trying my best.

Victoria: You know, we might disagree a lot and we might butt heads from time to time, but i know that when it really matters…

Billy: You can count on me. You can trust me with anything. Be ready for whatever life throws your way.

Rey: Chelsea, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you. What did I say?

Chelsea: Yes, all the right things.

Rey: Those are good tears?

Chelsea: Yeah. [ Chuckles ] Yeah, I just — I can’t tell you how many times I feel like I’m failing connor, you know? Like he deserves better than me. I just love him so much.

Rey: I can tell.

Chelsea: I just feel like I’m always doing something wrong. You know? I just want to give him all of the love and care, nurture him so much. It just seems like it’s never enough.

Rey: You know what I see when I look at him? A happy, healthy kid.

Chelsea: Despite his mom.

Rey: Because of his mom.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Well [Sniffles] I don’t think anyone has ever felt that connor was the lucky one to have me, but when you say it like that, i actually start to believe it, just a little.

Rey: Yeah, believe it a lot. You are raising a happy, funny, talented kid. You’re doing a great job.

Chelsea: Well, thanks, rey. You are just what I needed today.

[ Chuckles ] One day, I hope I can return the favor.

Rey: I didn’t look at it as a favor. I enjoy talking to you. You got a big heart. You’re fun, and you are completely unpredictable.

[ Chuckles ] In a nice way.

Chelsea: Well, I feel the same way about you. Minus the unpredictable part.

Rey: Yeah, nobody’s ever accused me of being that.

Chelsea: Well…I trust you. And you’re really easy to be around.

Sally: Look, victoria is nursing a broken heart after her show-stopping wedding in tuscany and the jaw-dropping merger, so while her parents and her other siblings are coddling her and running to her rescue, focusing on her emotional wellbeing, who will keep their eyes on the bottom line, put out the fires before they begin and hold everything together while our leader’s world is falling apart?

Adam: The two of us.

Sally: That’s right. We will make ourselves invaluable, irreplaceable, and unforgettable. Let the employees of newman turn to us to make things right and teach our competitors that we are the ones to fear and show your family who’s the one who really belongs in the driver’s seat. And it all starts right here, right now. What do you think? Why are you smiling at me like that?

Adam: You are…exactly what I have always needed.

Nick: You summed up the frustration we’re all feeling perfectly, dad.

Nikki: I just hope victoria doesn’t think that we blame her for any of this. Hopefully she’s finding a way to forgive herself and figuring out how to remove ashland from her life.

Victor: Once she does, we’re gonna have to figure out how to sever all his ties to our company.

Nick: That is not gonna be easy. ‘Cause gaining control of newman enterprises was his main objective all along.

Victoria: I should get going.

Billy: Well, there’s got to be something I can do to help.

Victoria: You’re sweet to offer, but it’s alright. I’ll figure out what I have to do.

Billy: Of course you will, ’cause you’re a force to be reckoned with.

Victoria: I’m not really feeling that right now.

Billy: You will. You’re gonna be okay. And until then and afterward, i will be here for you, no matter what. Anything you need, okay?

Victoria: Thank you. Actually, talking this through with you helped a lot, and there is something I need for you to do for me now.

Billy: Name it.

Victoria: Just keep this conversation between the two of us.

Billy: What conversation?

Victoria: Thank you, billy.

Ashland: Victoria… I’ve been looking for you everywhere.

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Ashland: This means the world to me. You have no idea.

Nick: What the hell?

Ashley: Long lost granddaughter appears out of nowhere when jack is reeling from the death of his estranged son? Honestly, phyllis, I’m surprised to learn that you’ve been encouraging jack to pursue this relationship. What were you thinking?

Jack: I was hoping that maybe spending a little time together might be good for both of us.

Lauren: [ Gasps ] Michael.

Michael: Hello, gorgeous.

Proofread by Anita

Sonny: What kind of favor are we talking about?

Curtis: I know you have access to certain kinds of information.

Sonny: Could you be a little more specific?

Curtis: I need to get my hands on a sealed police file.

Nikolas: Perhaps it’s time that you told us exactly what you’ve been planning since before you got back in town.

Victor: Maybe you’re right.

Nikolas: You got our full attention. What’s the big plan?

Victor: I’m afraid this conversation is for family only.

Nikolas: We are family.

Victor: Some more so than others.

Taggert: Would you stop? Stop worrying.

Portia: Mnh-mnh-mnh.

Taggert: I mean, Trina’s only a few minutes late. And frankly, I’m glad because it’s gonna give me some time to wrap my head around this — this — this Joss and Cam sex tape. What?

Portia: Well, I don’t actually think that you can call it a sex tape when the people involved don’t know they’re being taped.

Taggert: That would be considered revenge porn. And that is against the law in the state of New York.

Portia: I just think it’s disgusting that anyone would target Trina’s friends in that way. I mean, to me, far too much of our kids’ lives are already on the internet for everyone to see. But to exploit someone’s private moments like that?

Taggert: And w–

Portia: That’s — no, that’s disgusting.

Taggert: W-w-what about Spencer Cassadine’s girlfriend?

Portia: [ Sighs ]

Taggert: Really? Accusing Trina of being the one that posted this video?

Portia: I just hope that all of this will make Trina realize that Esme and Spencer are bad news all the way around for her.

Taggert: Oh, look who it is!

Portia: Oh, well, hi, Trina! Hey!

Trina: Hi.

Taggert: Hey, group hug

Trina: -Oh!

Portia: -Mm!

Taggert: I am so glad you could make it. Oh, I’ll — I’ll tell the hostess we’re ready to be seated.

Trina: Oh, no, I-I can’t stay ’cause I have class in, like, 30 minutes.

Taggert: What? It’s just going to be a “hello and goodbye”?

Trina: Unless you want me just to blow off class.

Portia: Oh, no, no, no. Perish the thought. Mnh-mnh. [ Chuckles ]

Taggert: You know, I am just amazed at your crazy schedule — full-time student at PCU while continuing your job at the gallery.

Trina: I know what you’re doing.

Portia: Spending some precious moments with our beautiful little girl?

Trina: No. You’re trying to see with your own eyes if I’m surviving all this craziness.

Taggert: Well, I mean, since you brought it up, how are you handling this Joss and Cam thing?

Trina: Um, I mean, it’s horrible, but it’s — it’s made me realize I need to be more careful about who I spend my time with.

Spencer: This is a pregnancy test.

Esme: What it is, is none of your business. You want me out of your life? Fine — I’ll go.

Spencer: Esme, wait! What, Spence? What else could you say? Because you’ve already broken my heart.

Jordan: This is Jordan Ashford. Give me a call back when you can. Thank you.

Dante: Hey, Commissioner, may I talk to you for a minute?

Jordan: What’s up, Detective?

Dante: I was talking to ADA Rodriguez about possible charges being filed against whoever put that video of Cameron and Josslyn on the internet.

Jordan: Okay, I’m gonna stop you right there, Dante.

Cameron: Ah, shoot. Are we really that late?

Josslyn: That’s weird. [ Chuckles ] I thought Professor Khan would still be in here so we could at least explain the situation.

Cameron: Do you think we’re the first to use the “still talking to the police” as an excuse for missing class?

Josslyn: You know, I think Professor Khan has heard every excuse in the book.

Cameron: You were a little quiet on the ride here from PCPD.

Josslyn: Well, I was — I was just thinking about my interview with Detective Lopez, going over my statement in my head, making sure I covered everything. Hey, why don’t you check to see if Professor Khan’s in her office?

Cameron: Well, we don’t have to leave just yet. We’re not in a rush. We could spend a few more minutes here.

Josslyn: Why? What’s wrong?

Cameron: Well, I just think, you know, things are a little bit chaotic out there. We could spend a sec here while everyone’s getting situated in their classes.

Josslyn: Oh, so there’s fewer people watching us walk down the hall?

Cameron: Okay, you got me.

Josslyn: Do you really care what random people think?

Cameron: Look, I-I don’t want to care, alright? But this is our first day back on campus since the video got out. It’s obvious that people are talking about us.

Josslyn: About us? Or mostly about me?

Sonny: Look, I know that you had a big part in taking down Cyrus Renault when I was living in Nixon Falls. And, um… I kind of behaved badly at The Savoy a couple of months ago.

Curtis: Sonny, don’t — don’t even worry about it, man. I know you were going through a lot.

Sonny: You do?

Curtis: Well, yeah. You were trying to save your marriage. I know after, uh… my marriage with Jordan blew up over a year ago, I know exactly how difficult that is.

Sonny: Well, I appreciate that. So t-t-this favor, you — you want me to get you — a — a sealed arrest record? Before I go any further, who’s it for?

Curtis: It’s for my “presumed dead but now very much alive” father.

Portia: So, tell me more. Tell me more. [ Chuckles ] About who you’re going to allow to be a part of your life, and most importantly, who you’re not.

Trina: [ Sighs ] Well, um… I visited Spencer at Spring Ridge, and I made it very clear to him that I can’t be friends with him as long as he’s involved with as Esme. And Spencer sided with Esme, which definitely clarifies things and frees me from any impulse to worry about him.

Portia: I’m so proud of you.

Taggert: Good for you for standing up for yourself.

Trina: But it’s hard because… I still think he’s a good person deep down.

Taggert: I’m — you know, I-I don’t know about that. I mean, I remember way back when, when Nikolas was a few years older than Spencer, he was dating my sister, Gia, and, well, I — I just don’t think the Cassadines strike me as particularly deep, that’s all.

Portia: So, Trina, why don’t you tell me what class you’re headed off to? [ Chuckles ]

Trina: Um, social history through art.

Portia: Oh. Are Joss and Cam in that class, too?

Trina: No, but even if Joss was, she wouldn’t be there. She hasn’t been to any of her classes since…

Taggert: I know about the video, Trina. Your mother told me all about it. So how is Joss handling all this?

Trina: Um, I’m not sure. She’s been staying at her mom’s rather than living in her dorm. It’s like Joss needs to hide out for a while, which I totally understand. So I’m just trying to give her her space.

Portia: If I were in Josslyn’s position, I would not want space. Honey, I’d want my best friend.

Trina: Joss hasn’t texted me in a while, and I figured, if she wants to talk to me, she’ll let me know.

Cameron: Us, you — I-it doesn’t matter. We’re in this together.

Josslyn: We were in the video together, and we both had a private moment stolen from us, Cam. But come on, the fallout is different. Okay? It shouldn’t be, but it is because I’m being slut-shamed all over the place. People are making fun of me. They’re critiquing my body. They’re judging me for even having sex at all. And you “tapped that.” And I’m some tramp who just “gave it away.”

Cameron: Joss, I’m sorry.

Josslyn: No, it’s nothing that you did. It’s just — it’s the way things are. And I know that the only way out is through. And I just have to face it down, and I have to keep moving forward. And trust me, that’s absolutely what I’m going to do, but I just hate that I have to deal with something that’s so ugly, so sexist, and just blatantly unfair.

Cameron: I know, and I’m sorry. It is unfair. I just — I saw how you reacted when the people out there were whispering.

Josslyn: [ Sighs ] I thought I handled that pretty well.

Cameron: Well, to anyone else, they wouldn’t have noticed, but, Joss, I know you. I know when you are confident and when you’re only pretending to be.

Josslyn: Well, I like how well you know me. Oh, and I hate how this bothers me so much, because it shouldn’t! We didn’t do anything wrong.

Cameron: I-I know, but this is why I didn’t want to do the invader article.

Josslyn: Oh, well, we needed to go on record. I mean, we needed to state that we did not record that or post it ourselves. And it’s also really important for people to know how invasive this entire experience was. And, you know, we could help other victims of revenge porn.

Camron: I agree with everything you’re saying. It’s just I-I can’t bear to see you get hurt.

Josslyn: Well, you don’t have to protect me. It’s not your job. I didn’t ask for any of this, but here we are. And I’m not going to hide.

Cameron: Look, I didn’t say that we have to hide, but we don’t have to be in the spotlight, either.

Josslyn: Why didn’t you say this before?

Cameron: I did say that.

Josslyn: Then what are you saying? That this is my fault now?

Nikolas: As far as I am concerned, Ava is more my family than you are, Uncle Victor. Anything you have to say, you need to say to both of us.

Victor: I’m sorry, but…no.

Ava: That’s okay. It’s fine, really. In a backhanded way, it’s — it’s sort of a compliment, isn’t it? You can fill me in later, darling. I’ll be at the bar.

Spencer: I would never intentionally hurt you, Esme. You know that.

Esme: Yeah, like you know that I’m not the one responsible for that disgusting video of Joss and Cam?

Spencer: I’m not talking about the video! Why do you have a pregnancy test?!

Esme: Why do you think?! We made love that night before you went to Spring Ridge, remember?

Spencer: [ Sighs ] You’re pregnant?!

Dante: Revenge porn is a crime in New York. What’s the problem?

Jordan: I’m well aware of that, Dante. An investigation into the video of Josslyn and Cameron has been opened. You can provide backup support as needed, but that’s it.

Dante: Why can’t I be the lead? Josslyn Jacks is your stepsister. I just can’t risk the defense casting doubt on any information you may receive.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Dante: Who my father marries shouldn’t disqualify me as an investigator, Jordan.

Jordan: You need to take a step back from this one.

Dante: [ Sighs ]

Jordan: And any evidence you do uncover, you need to notify Detective Lopez immediately.

Dante: Mm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. By the book. Got it.

Jordan: I understand your frustration, Dante. But take it from me — nothing good comes from breaking the rules. Been there, done that, and it didn’t end well.

Curtis: My dad, who I thought was dead most of my life, suddenly shows up in Port Charles a few months ago. Now, you would think that he would come back ready to answer some questions, but, instead, he’s been extra cagey about what happened and where he’s been. Says he wants to start over. I had Drew do a deep dive into his background, and that prompted Marshall to admit to me that he has a criminal record, and it’s been sealed.

Sonny: With all due respect, why is it your business?

Curtis: Normally, it isn’t. I mean, we all have a past that we’re not proud of, including me.

Sonny: But you want me to get sealed information on your father?

Sonny: I have reason. Marshall’s been lying to me.

Victor: I’ve spent too many years preparing for this to let it all fall apart now.

Nikolas: Let what fall apart? I still have no idea what you are talking about.

Victor: Time was, the Cassadines were among the most powerful families on this planet.

Nikolas: [ Chuckles ] That’s a little exaggerated, wouldn’t you say?

Victor: No, I wouldn’t say. Heads of state would routinely line up to do business with us. We were true power players on the international stage, and it is high time this family reclaimed that influence.

Ava: Hey, good evening.

Portia: Hi.

Ava: Will, uh, Trina be joining you?

Portia: She’s already come and gone. [ Chuckles ] She had to get to class.

Taggert: Yeah. We were lucky to get 10 minutes with her. It — it amazes me how that girl races through life.

Portia: -Uh-huh.

Ava: -Yeah. The energy of youth.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Laughter ]

Taggert: Oh. Oh, I’m — I’m sorry. I need to get this.

Portia: Okay. Join me, please.

Ava: Yeah. Thanks. Just for a minute, though. I’m actually here for a — a family celebration.

Portia: Oh.

Ava: It’s just taking a little bit for everyone to arrive.

Portia: Well, what’s the big celebration?

Ava: Spencer’s release from Spring Ridge.

Portia: Ah. Forgive me if I don’t find that to be a reason to celebrate.

Ava: Do you know I agree with you? But it’s for Nikolas’s sake. I’m playing nice.

Portia: Hmm. Better you than me.

[ Both chuckle ]

Ava: Make no mistake, though, it’s gonna be, um, pretty difficult. Especially when Spencer starts to work at the gallery for restitution. It helps, though, that he won’t be answering to me directly. Trina will be supervising him.

Portia: Hm, no. No. That’s not gonna happen.

Spencer: You’re pregnant?! Why didn’t you say anything?

Esme: When was I supposed to tell you — before or after you called me a monster?

Spencer: Esme, please.

Esme: For the record, I haven’t taken the test yet. But I am late. I kept waiting and waiting to get my period, but after ten days, I finally chalked up the nerve to go buy a test.

Spencer: You thought that you might be pregnant for over a week, and you didn’t say anything?

Esme: It was your last week in prison. I thought you had enough to worry about without the possibility of becoming a father.

Spencer: Well, let’s find out. You need to take that test — right now!

Cameron: I don’t want to fight.

Josslyn: I don’t want to fight, either.

Cameron: Okay. Well, then, we just have to remember that we’re — we’re in this together.

Josslyn: Yes, we are. And there’s no reason to hide in here, okay? So let’s go.

Trina: Oh. Hi.

Josslyn: Hi, Trina.

Trina: So, it’s been a few days since we’ve seen each other.

Cameron: Which is pretty weird, right?

Trina: Right. So, um, how are you guys doing?

Josslyn: Hanging in there.

Cameon: So, uh, class is over. What brings you here?

Trina: Um, I’m — I’m looking for Professor Khan.

Cameron: Professor already left.

Trina: Oh. Okay, well, I got to get back to my next class.

Josslyn: Trina, wait. This is crazy.

Trina: It is, right? I miss you guys so much.

Josslyn: We miss you, too.

Sonny: How do you know your father’s lying to you?

Curtis: I had Drew go ahead with the background check.

Sonny: Yeah?

Curtis: He found some information… that made me question Marshall’s account of where he’s been all these years. Look, I, uh — I’m all for one’s right to privacy, but when you start lying to me, I need to know why.

Marshall: I’ll have that back now.

Sonny: See you soon.

Sonny: I’m sorry, I-I can’t help you.

Portia: I think that Spencer is a bad influence on Trina. And I know that you care about her, which is why I’m asking you to reconsider making Trina Spencer’s supervisor. I mean, can’t someone else do it?

Ava: W-when I spoke with Trina about it, she seemed fine working with Spencer.

Portia: Well, things change. Really? I suggest you check in with Trina and see how she’s currently feeling about Spencer.

Jordan: Don’t get me wrong — I’ve done questionable things in the past when my own family was involved. I learned my lesson the hard way. And it’s because of that experience that I refuse to bend the rules again. It’s a very slippery slope.

Dante: I know, Jordan. And I don’t want to compromise the case, but I’m concerned for Cam and Joss and what they’re going through, and I want to be able to help them.

Jordan: I feel the same, but Josslyn and Cameron are doing okay, and Detective Lopez said their statements were clear and very helpful.

Dante: I don’t want this slipping through the cracks.

Jordan: It’s not going to slip through the cracks. Josslyn and Cameron are victims of a crime. The perpetrator’s not getting away with it.

Trina: I hope Cam knows he didn’t have to leave us alone.

Josslyn: Well, you know Cam — he’s just super considerate, and I am in desperate need of some girl time, so…

Trina: Me too. Did you get my text?

Josslyn: No. When did you send it?

Trina: When the video came out. I just… I wanted you to know I was thinking about you.

Josslyn: Oh, you know, I got so many pervy messages that day, I just kind of started deleting them without even looking, and…

Trina: yeah.

Josslyn: …I — I must have accidentally deleted yours, too.

Trina: That explains that, then.

[ Both chuckle ]

Josslyn: Did you get my text?

Trina: I did, yeah. But all it said was that you were staying at your mom’s house, and then I didn’t hear anything else.

Josslyn: Well, I didn’t hear anything else from you, either. Why didn’t you text me again?

Trina: When you didn’t respond to my first text, I just figured you needed space and…

Josslyn: Well [Scoffs] Space from the world, absolutely. But space from you? Never. I mean, you should know that.

Trina: How? You didn’t come to the dorms. You didn’t respond back to my text.

Josslyn: Well, I explained that.

Trina: Yeah, I get it now, but then… I thought you didn’t want to hear from me.

Josslyn: Why wouldn’t I want to hear from you?

Trina: You know how my brain works. When I don’t get information, my brain makes up crazy scenarios, and… the longer the silence was, the crazier they got.

Josslyn: Like what?

Trina: I thought — I thought Esme got to you. And you believed that I was behind the video.

Esme: I’m not taking this test now.

Spencer: Why not?

Esme: Because. I need to get out of here! I can’t stand to look at you one more minute! If Laura hadn’t kept me here, I would have been long gone.

Spencer: Without telling me that you might be pregnant?!

Esme: Stop making this about you, Spence! It’s my body!

Spencer: It is your body. But if you’re pregnant, it is my baby, too.

Esme: [ Laughing ] Really? Are you going to grow out of your clothes?! Are you going to have morning sickness?! Are you going to grow a person inside of you for 9 months?!

Spencer: Come on. Esme. We are getting way ahead of ourselves. We don’t even know if you are pregnant. I mean… …we used protection. [ Breathes sharply ]

Esme: Which isn’t 100% effective. No one likes to talk about that, but it’s the truth.

Spencer: Alright.

Esme: God. [ Voice breaking ] What am I gonna do with a baby? I’ve never even taken care of a dog.

Spencer: We don’t even know there is a baby, okay?

Esme: [ Sniffles ]

Spencer: Which is why you need to take the test.

[ Knock on door ]

Spencer: Ignore the door.

Cameron: Uh, hi. I’m sorry. Is this a bad time?

Esme: No, I was just leaving.

Spencer: Uh, no. Esme, we need to talk!

Esme: My body, my choice, Spence.

[ Door slams shut ]

Cameron: Did she just say…

Spencer: There’s a chance Esme could be pregnant. [ Sighs ]

Esme: [ Sighs ] [ Sighs ]

Curtis: Clarify this for me — you can’t help me or you won’t help me?

Sonny: No, you — you should know the truth, and I could help you, but I — I choose not to.

Curtis: [ Sighs ] Great. Thanks.

Sonny: No, no. [ Stammers ] To me, this is a — a family matter between you and your father. I don’t — I don’t want to get involved.

Curtis: Sonny, I need to know the truth.

Sonny: Well, yeah, I agree with you — you should know the truth, and you should get it through Marshall himself. Hear me out. Your dad’s not a fan of mine. If I get involved, it’s going to make it worse.

Nikolas: That’s it? All of these mentions of some momentous plan, and you’ve just been referring to a business venture?

Victor: Oh. [ Chuckles ] This is no simple business merger, I can assure you. The resources we will gain from a merger with Bronze Hills Holdings will be a significant step towards this family regaining its former power.

Nikolas: I’m not saying it won’t be a financial benefit, because I know it will be. I just expected more.

Victor: Like what?

Nikolas: You made it sound like it would be something…

Victor: Sinister? [ Scoffs ] Like world domination? Yeah, I’m not quite as out there as your grandfather Mikkos was.

Nikolas: I was going to say “criminal.” We’ve both crossed that line in the past.

Victor: True. I’m not one to let arcane laws and petty bureaucracy get in my way. However, right now, I’m focused on building a power base. The question is, do I have your support?

Cameron: Okay. Hold on. Can we back up? Esme had her bags packed. You guys were obviously fighting. Do I want to know what it was about?

Spencer: I accused Esme of recording you and Joss and posting it.

Cameron: Really? Wait. Well, what did she say?

Spencer: She denied it, of course. And then she tried to blame Trina, which is absurd.

Cameron: Completely.

Spencer: I defended Trina, which made Esme furious. We broke up. We had just had the same argument at Spring Ridge, and she stormed out. But I didn’t think that that meant that we were over. Esme decided that we were, and she was almost out the door when I saw that she had a home pregnancy test. Can you believe that she wasn’t even going to tell me?!

Cameron: Wow. Um… that’s a lot.

Spencer: If Esme is pregnant, I’m going to be a father.

Cameron: What are you going to do?

Spencer: I honestly have no idea.

Josslyn: Trina, we both know that it was Esme who posted that video, after she somehow found a way to record me and Cam without our knowledge. It was her! It was all her from the jump. How could you ever think that I could blame you for this?

Trina: It’s just…things got so weird that night at the cabin. That hot toddy… [ Sighs ] …Hit me so hard, I still can’t remember everything that happened. And since that was the night the video was made…

Josslyn: Oh, please. It was Esme. Trina, she has hated me from the second she laid her eyes on me. You know why? Because I could tell that she was psycho. I mean, it was Nelle 2.0 waiting to happen. And that’s why I got so frustrated when she presented you that phony apology at Kelly’s and you — you know, you went along with it.

Trina: [ Breathes deeply ] I owe you a major apology. Esme was all upset because Spencer gave me that art book, and I — I didn’t want to feel like I was taking her boyfriend. Not because of her, but because of me, because I didn’t want to feel like that kind of person. And, also… …I don’t know how I feel about Spencer. But you were right about all of it. Esme is a wack job. And Spencer is just… …blind. But I should be thanking you for calling her out instead of getting all offended.

Josslyn: It’s okay.

Trina: No, no, don’t tell me it’s okay, Joss. You are going through hell, and Esme is trying to blame me for it. She is hateful and horrible. I should have never tried to compromise with her.

Josslyn: Hey. We came to it with two very different experiences, right? You believe in compromise. And most of the time, compromise is a good thing. But it’s not when it comes to Esme, because she sees that, and she takes it as a sign of weakness, and that gives her an opportunity — gives her an opening. That’s why I shouldn’t have even gone on this ski trip in the first place, because Esme pushed so hard for it, so, you know, I should have realized that she had an agenda. [ Sighs ]

Trina: Do you think she always meant to tape you and Cam?

Josslyn: I think that she always meant to hurt us. Not me and Cam, but you and me.

Perez: This file was just delivered. Detective Lopez sent it over. Information on that PCU sex video from the anonymous tip line.

Jordan: Thanks, officer Perez.

Dante: What kind of information?

Jordan: The damning kind. An eyewitness account and a potential perp.

Sonny: Your father has some kind of problem with me ’cause he saw me and TJ in the hospital, and he didn’t like it one bit.

Curtis: Okay. So because my long-lost dad doesn’t like you, that’s why you’re protecting him?

Sonny: I’m not saying “no” for Marshall’s sake. I’m saying “no” for you. I know what it’s like to be in a difficult relationship with your father. I didn’t speak to my dad for years. Everybody tried to intervene. Everybody tried to fix it. But there was only going to be two people who could salvage that relationship — me and my dad. So if you want to know what’s in that — that sealed criminal record, you’re gonna have to go to Marshall.

[ Door opens ]

Taggert: I am so glad we decided to stay and have dinner.

Portia: Mm-hmm.

Taggert: I mean, it’s nice. What is this Trina is telling me about you and Curtis shacking up?

Portia: Shacking up? Really?

Taggert: Mm.

Portia: We are buying a home together. Okay? And it’s out by Queens Point. It’s right on the water. It’s so beautiful.

Taggert: Have you moved in yet?

Portia: No, no. We’re in the process.

Taggert: You know, I — I’m really, really happy that things are going so well for you and Curtis.

Portia: Thank you. That means a lot to me, considering our history.

Taggert: Yeah, you know, the past is long gone, and the only thing is to move forward, right?

Portia: And now that Trina has Spencer in the rearview, things are looking up everywhere. [ Chuckles ]

Taggert: Well, uh, Trina and Joss — they still need to get beyond that speed bump in their friendship.

Portia: Well, I — I mean, I think that they will. They’ve been friends forever. It’s almost like they’re sisters.

Taggert: Yeah, well, me and my sister, we did have some vicious fights back in the day.

Portia: Yeah, but at the end of the day, you and Gia always loved each other.

Taggert: Mm…yeah. [ Chuckles ] Mm-hmm.

Portia: Same goes for Trina and Joss.

Josslyn: Cam’s a guy. He tried to accept Esme for Spencer’s sake, but Esme always saw the both of us as a threat — for different reasons. So she was always going to try and take us down.

Trina: [ Sighs ] It is so great to hear you say this. To see through that, like, hateful, just…

Josslyn: Bitch?

[ Both laugh ]

Josslyn: Yeah.

Trina: Yeah. I — I love the way you hate, Joss.

Josslyn: Oh, it’s — it’s a true talent.

Trina: I just wish I knew what you were thinking.

Josslyn: I should have reached out.

Trina: Why didn’t you?

Josslyn: Oh, well, because this whole situation has just been completely overwhelming. I mean… it’s total public humiliation. Everyone on social media has an opinion on it. I can’t even tell you how many people that I don’t even know have called me some variation of a slut or a whore. But it gets even grosser, because I’ll also see messages or posts calling me hot and asking if Cam and I are exclusive.

Trina: Eww, that — that is so inappropriate!

Josslyn: Yeah. Well, we’re “of legal age” now.

Trina: [ Scoffs ]

Josslyn: I mean, do you remember how happy and excited we were to turn 18 and get to vote?

Trina: [ Breathes sharply ] Yeah. I felt so grown up. [ Chuckles ]

Josslyn: Well, is this the other side of adulthood? I mean, what happened to common decency? It just feels like it’s been open season on me.

Trina: That is beyond awful.

Josslyn: Yeah, it’s horrible. And when I didn’t hear from you — I don’t know — I just — I thought that you were embarrassed to be my friend.

Trina: What?! Never. Never in a million years.

Spencer: You know, the more that I think of it, maybe you had the right idea.

Cameron: What do you mean?

Spencer: Being a virgin for, like, ever.

Cameron: Oh, please. You and the whole world know I’m not a virgin.

Spencer: I seriously doubt that your little, uh, video has been seen by the whole world.

Cameron: You know, you’re a poor excuse for a friend, Spencer.

Spencer: Hey, possible father here, okay? That’s way bigger than some… temporary embarrassment.

Cameron: Maybe for me. But for Joss, it’s so much worse. They’re being absolutely savage to her online. I’m getting virtual high fives while they’re calling her a slut. It — it’s not fair.

Spencer: Yeah, it is awful. I’m really sorry that she’s going through that.

Cameron: So now you believe that Esme’s behind the video?

Spencer: I don’t want to believe it. I mean, Esme has been so good to me.

Cameron: Oh. Works out nicely for you, but what about the rest of the planet?

Spencer: I know that just because Esme is good to me doesn’t mean that she’s necessarily good to everybody else.

Cameron: Look, Spencer, you have to face it — I mean, she’s sneaky and vindictive.

Spencer: And possibly the mother of my child.

Ava: And how’s your arm, Avery? Oh, it hurts? Well, I’m — I’m on my way. I’m coming right home, okay? I’ll see you soon, sweetie. Hi, fellas, I hope you had a nice chat. Um, Avery needs me, so I’m going to go home, okay?

Victor: Well, seeing as the guest of honor is obviously a no-show, I’ll leave with you.

Ava: Okay.

Nikolas: I’m gonna wait for my mother.

Ava: Okay. I’ll see you at home.

Victor: No hard feelings, eh? No, of course not.

Nikolas: [ Sighs lightly ]

Esme: [ Voice breaking ] Mr. Cassadine… …will you help me?

Dante: No, she wouldn’t do something like that, let alone to Cam and Joss.

Jordan: That’s what I thought, too, but every possible tip needs to be checked out.

Dante: Okay, well, then I’ll take care of it.

Jordan: No. I’ll handle this one personally.

Sonny: So, uh, I got to go. So, think about what I said. Good luck.

Marshall: Why were you talking to Sonny Corinthos?

Curtis: He was telling me about a run-in… you two had. Care to explain?

Cameron: Joss and I both gave separate statements to a detective.

Spencer: I’m glad the cops are taking this seriously.

Cameron: Yeah, so am I. Detective Lopez said that whoever’s behind this could spend up to a year in prison.

Spencer: Do you know what that means? It means that my baby could be born in prison.

Cameron: Way to keep it real, Spencer.

Spencer: Hey, it could happen.

Cameron: Maybe you should find out if Esme is actually pregnant before you go shopping for jail baby clothes.

Spencer: Yeah, you’re right. Except I don’t even know where Esme went. [ Sighs ] I really hope that Esme is not pregnant because if she is and if she wants to have the baby… …I’m going to be tied to her for life.

Esme: I was going to try and stay here for the night so that I had a place to, like, get my thoughts together. [ Voice breaking ] And I thought I had enough money to pay for it, but my credit card was declined.

Nikolas: Are you sure that you and Spencer can’t work things out?

Esme: I mean, he said horrible things to me. If that’s really what he thinks of me, I can never be with him again. But what am I going to do? I mean, he was the only guy I’ve ever loved. And what if it turns out that I’M…

Nikolas: you know, I remember being your age, where every argument, it felt like the end of the world. But I am sure once you’ve had a good night’s sleep, things are going to be clearer in the morning.

Esme: [ Sighs ] I have nowhere else to go. Is there any way I could stay with you?

Taggert: Is that the, uh, notorious Esme prince that Trina keeps talking about?

Portia: Oh, you’ve never seen her before?

Taggert: No. First time. Ah. She seems pretty upset. I wonder what the drama is this time.

Portia: Just be glad that we’re not involved. I would bet you anything that that girl is the one behind the video of Joss and Cam. [ Sighs ] I’m just so relieved that Trina is finally out of Esme’s orbit.

Josslyn: Feels so good for things to be back to normal.

Trina: Yeah. And I know you want some distance from the video, but don’t shut me out. You can talk to me about anything.

Josslyn: I know, and I will. It’s so nice to hear that. We are a team, and we always will be.

Trina: Count on it.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Jordan: Hi, Josslyn.

Josslyn: Oh.

Jordan: Hi, Trina.

Josslyn: Commissioner Ashford. Uh, is there a lead in my case?

Jordan: I’m actually here to see Trina.

Trina: Oh. Uh, I-I’m sorry, but I’m already late for my next class.

Jordan: I’m afraid this can’t wait. I’m going to need you to come down to the station and answer some questions.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Harmony: It’s under consideration.

Marshall (to Curtis): I just felt … ? … call in his debts.

Jordan: Are you comfortable asking a few questions?

Josslyn (to Dante): The person you should be talking to is Spencer’s psycho girlfriend.

Esme (to Nikolas): You’ve turned your back on me too.

Scott (to Nina): Why don’t you want to go down the legal road?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Rafe: Ooh.

Nicole: I’d make a toast, but I think it’s pretty obvious what we’re celebrating.

Rafe: Yes, it is. Do you know the last time we were here in this kitchen? When I was arrested, you know, I had asked you what you thought about starting our relationship, and you never ally answered me.

Nicole: Well, there was a lot going on.

Rafe: True, yep. Yeah, but now here we are back in the kitchen so I’m gonna ask you again. What do you think about you and me?

[Soft music]

Ava: Aww. How adorable.

Rafe: How the hell did you get in here?

Ava: With my key.

Rafe: Put it down and get out.

Ava: Oh, please. You think you can get rid of me that easily?

Sonny: Oh, by the way, I got your message, okay, I’m sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner. I was taking will and arianna to the airport this morning.

Chad: Well, I thought–i didn’t think that arianna started school until next week.

Sonny: Well, she doesn’t, but will got a call from his editor, and I guess there’s a story he wants him to cover. Apparently it’s a big one.

Chad: All right, well, it doesn’t derail the plan to run leo out of town, does it?

Sonny: No, no, no, that still goes on as planned. You know, I’m not giving up until craig realizes that leo is using him. And, you know, I hope you’re still in.

Chad: Yes, you know I am. Revenge, right? Invented by dimeras.

Sonny: Okay, great, great. Oh, okay, speaking of, how was the staged fight with abigail? I mean, did leo buy it?

Chad: He sure as hell seemed to. I told abby that I thought he was hooked, but, mm…

Sonny: Mm, but…

Chad: You know, it’s leo. You never really know with him.

Sonny: Yeah, right.

Leo: Do you think I’m getting crow’s feet?

Craig: Absolutely not, you’re the perfect picture of youth. Hey, guess what?

Leo: Surprise me.

Craig: I have an email from the hospital hr department, and it looks like a job offer.

Leo: Already? Fabulous, should I start calling you mr. Chief of staff, your highness, or what?

Craig: None of the above.

Leo: What? They can’t do that.

Craig: Leo–

Leo: No, no, nobody double-crosses me and gets away with it.

Kayla: What an ordeal for belle.

Marlena: Horrible.

Kayla: Well, thank god she’s physically okay.

Marlena: You know, I thought this whole mess was behind us. Not even close.

Kayla: How are you doing?

Marlena: Well, it’s been awful seeing belle go through this but I–now I hope you’ll keep this to yourself.

Kayla: Of course I will.

[Knocking on door] Yeah?

Seth: I have to talk to you.

Marlena: Good morning, seth. I was just about to leave.

Seth: No, please stay. This concerns you, too. I must insist that you fire dr. Evans immediately.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Craig: Leo, nobody double-crossed you.

Leo: They did it to you. It’s the same as doing it to me. A staff position? Are they kidding with that?

Craig: Okay, just calm down and let me explain something here.

Leo: Okay.

Craig: Seth burns was not in his office yesterday when I went to the hospital, but when I ran into kayla, I had to tell her something. So I told her I was looking for a new job, even if it was entry-level position.

Leo: But you said that just to throw her off. You didn’t actually mean it.

Craig: I didn’t realize we were tag-teaming the job search.

Leo: Honestly, look at the hours. Look at the money. How many degrees do you have? Babe, they’re low-balling you.

Craig: I thought you didn’t care about the money.

Leo: I don’T. I mean, it’s not everything, but you are so smart and talented. You deserve a way better job than that. Tell them what they can do with their staff position.

Craig: Okay, leo, I was thinking about this a lot last night, and if I take a job like this–

Leo: But–

Craig: Let me finish please. If I take a job like this, we can stay in salem just like we planned. The stress level will be cut in half, and I can go back to patient care.

Leo: Draining boils? Checking prostates? Yuck, is that really what floats your boat?

Craig: I would be doing a lot more than that.

Leo: What about all of the people that worked under you when you were chief of staff at that hospital? They’ve been dealing with an iron lady like kayla johnson all these years. Don’t you care about them? I thought you wanted to protect what you helped build.

Craig: I care very much about that.

Leo: Finally, then pick up the phone, call this burns guy, tell him you’re rejecting that offer, and the only offer you’re accepting is chief of staff.

Kayla: I made it clear that I had no intention of firing marlena.

Seth: The pressure I’m getting is building, not just from the board members, but from the community. They’re deeply worried about having a psychiatrist on staff who claims to have been possessed by the devil, and there’s a new rumor floating around now about your daughter. This is an untenable–

Marlena: May I just say something please?

Kayla: Of course you can.

Marlena: Thank you. I think I have a way to resolve the situation. I’ll resign.

[Soft music]

[Elevator dings]

Steve: Yo, dr. Johnson.

Tripp: When are you gonna stop calling me that?

Steve: I don’t know. You in a bad mood?

Tripp: Are you here to see kayla or me?

Steve: You. Got some news about your mom.

Tripp: Oh, yeah, you said you had a theory where she was.

Steve: Well, I tracked her down to a motel in brookville just this morning. By the time I got there, she’d cleared out.

Tripp: Any ideas where she went.?

Steve: I thought she’d go a lot further when she first took off, maybe go to ground in philly. But since she stayed in the area, I have a feeling she’ll be back.

Nicole: Not very smart of you to come over here, ava.

Ava: Well, I had to offer my congratulations. I saw the verdict on tv.

Rafe: Oh.

Nicole: Well, it would’ve made more sense to send a card since the police are looking for you.

Ava: Rafe’s no longer on the force, so he can’t really do anything about it.

Rafe: Well, as a matter of fact, I can. ‘Cause I just got a text from the mayor saying since I’ve beaten those bogus charges, I’ve been reinstated as commissioner. Well, I guess my first official act will be to place you under arrest. You know liberty mutual customizes your car insurance,

Tripp: I hope mom does come back. I know you probably don’t and with good reason. I had my guard up with her at first, but I really do think she’s changed.

Steve: I know you do.

Tripp: I just can’t see why she’d be involved in kidnapping abigail dimera. I mean, she doesn’t even know her.

Steve: Well, I don’t understand her motive either, but she was at that airstrip talking to abigail right before she got knocked out and flown to the dimera private island.

Tripp: Okay, but abigail is home safe now. So won’t the police have to drop this? It’s not they have any proof that mom was involved.

Steve: Maybe not, but that might not be the only crime your mother’s involved in.

Ava: You got handcuffs on you? Oh, wait, there might be some in the bedroom.

Rafe: You know, going to jail is no joke, ava.

Ava: Know what? You’re a joke. Well, what exactly are you gonna arrest me for?

Rafe: Leaving the police station when you were in custody.

Ava: What custody, hm? They hauled me in for questioning. No one said I couldn’t leave.

Nicole: Then why did you hire some phony lawyer to smuggle you out of the police station?

>>Ava: If leaving a police station is a crime, then–

Rafe: The crime is what you were hauled in for in the first place. You’re an accessory to abigail dimera’s kidnapping.

Sonny: Ah, come on. Look, I’m sure leo’s still into you, okay? You are–you’re good-looking. You are rich. You got a pulse.

Chad: Okay, you know, I’m married to a woman.

Sonny: Okay, and craig wesley was still married to his wife, and for a lot longer than you.

Chad: And he’s gay, and I’m not so, you know, and I’m sure one fight wasn’t enough to convince him that I’m on the market.

Sonny: You know, that’s a very good point. I don’t know, do you think abby would be like willing to crank it up another notch.

Abigail: Oh, I don’t know. She might if you ask nicely, hi.

Chad: Hi.

Sonny: Oh, oh, guys come–eh, eh, eh, no pdas until leo’s on the run.

Chad: Oh, my gosh.

Sonny: No, oh, I specifically just said no pda.

Chad: For god’s sakes, we’re in our own home.

Sonny: Well, yeah, just keep it private please, thank you.

Abigail: Okay, sonny, okay, so how long is this whole scheme gonna take, really? I mean, we just have other things going on, you know, especially tomorrow.

Sonny: What’s happening tomorrow?

Abigail: Oh, it’s nothing fun unfortunately. We’re gonna see dr. Rolf at statesville, just to see if he can do anything for sarah.

Sonny: Right, and how’s it going with her?

Abigail: Well, she got the same drug that gwen gave me, only she got a much stronger dose because it wasn’t diluted with champagne like mine was, so… aunt kayla said the damage to her brain is pretty severe, and they’re not sure if they can reverse it. But–so we’re all–we’re just hoping that dr. Rolf has some sort of an antidote.

Sonny: Right, right. And that requires you both to go to statesville?

Chad: Okay, sonny, look, I know that getting leo is important to you, but abigail is my life, and she was kidnapped because somebody didn’t want her to help sarah, and now she’s going to visit that crazy bastard at prison because of sarah. I sure as hell ain’t gonna leave her alone this time.

Sonny: Right, right, of course, I’m sorry. I’m being an idiot. I don’t know, this whole thing with leo has become such an obsession with me. And now I’ve dragged you guys into it, and I don’T… you know what, maybe I should just give up on nailing leo.

Abigail: Or you can just get it done tonight.

Craig: Yes, please have mr. Burns call me back at his earliest opportunity. I greatly appreciate it. Thank you. His assistant says he’s out of the office on a personal matter.

Leo: Personal matter, right. He’s making sure kayla’s giving dr. Devil the ax, and if she hasn’t–

Craig: I asked him to set up a meeting, so let’s just be patient and see what happens, okay?

Kayla: You are not gonna be bullied into quitting. I won’t stand for it. You are a senior member of the staff here, and you deserve some loyalty.

Seth: Retirement is an option.

Kayla: How many times has marlena been voted doctor of the year?

Seth: I’m certain she won’t be receiving that title this year.

Kayla: That situation that you are referring to has been resolved.

Seth: Situation? That’s a euphemism for the ages.

Kayla: It was beyond marlena’s control.

Seth: Tell that to the people suing the hospital. Tell that to the board members. Your loyalty to your friend is admirable, but I think your loyalty to the hospital should supersede it. I recommend you take some time to reconsider your decision. I’ll be back.

[Tense music]

Why do dermatologists

use dove bar at home?

Steve: You know about the charges against rafe hernandez, right?

Tripp: Yeah, and I just read that he was found innocent.

Steve: Right, ’cause there were too many questions about the evidence against him. And rafe thinks that ava used her criminal ties to reach out to some of her old friends in philly and persuaded them to lie under oath.

Tripp: Well, she left that life behind.

Steve: So she said.

Tripp: And why would she do that to rafe? I mean, she’s totally in love with him.

Steve: Well, rafe suspects that she found out that he and nicole are more than friends, and they were lying to her about it.

Tripp: So the person she loves and her best friend were sneaking around behind her back? Yeah, I know how that feels.

Ava: An accessory to kidnapping?

Rafe: Abigail found out that you were pretending to be sarah horton.

Ava: So I put on a mask and pretended to be someone else. It was a prank.

Nicole: We all know it wasn’t a prank.

Rafe: Yeah, first you tried to convince abigail that you were sarah, and then you were seen at the airstrip where abigail was kidnapped.

Ava: So?

Rafe: So you witnessed whoever knocked her out, and instead of coming to the police, you left town.

Ava: And now I’m back.

Rafe: Yes, you are. Why?

Marlena: Kayla, seth has a point.

Kayla: You did nothing wrong.

Marlena: And if you don’t fire me, they will replace you with somebody else who will. And I don’t want you out of a job.

Kayla: No, I am not gonna lose my job, and it’s not because of you anyway. Look, you are my dear friend, and of course, I love having you around, but this is a matter of principle. Firing you sends a message to the rest of the staff that a personal problem is a fireable offense.

Marlena: Yes, but this is a fairly unique personal problem.

Kayla: I don’t care. I’m chief of staff, and if I can’t control the staffing, I might as well not even have this job. Look, I am not going to let seth burns bully either one of us, and I’m not gonna change my mind about that.

Craig: I don’t see him anywhere.

Leo: He’ll be here. He called you right back to set up this meeting.

Craig: Oh, there he is. How are you?

Seth: Craig, good to see you. You’re looking well.

Craig: You too, mr. Burns. This is leo stark, my partner.

Seth: Ah, business partner.

Craig: Well, for lack of a better term, boyfriend.

Seth: I see. Nice to meet you, mr. Stark.

Leo: Thank you. Nice to meet you.

Seth: Why does that name sound familiar to me?

Leo: Maybe you’ve seen my artwork.

Seth: Maybe, so how’s the big apple treating you?

Craig: Well, it’s treating me very well. It’s been a good run, but i have to say, I miss it here. I have a daughter here, and, well, I wanna be closer to her.

Seth: Hr mentioned that you might be looking for a staff position.

Leo: Or any position that might be open.

Craig: Yes, let me get right to the point, seth. I hear there may be some rumblings about replacing the current chief of staff, and, well, I wanted you to know that if that’s the case, I’m very interested.

Seth: I see.

Craig: And of course, if you have another candidate in mind–

Leo: This is what I love about him. He doesn’t toot his own horn. Anybody who did for the bottom line at your hospital what he has done would be screeching about it. Not my craig.

Seth: And what did you do for the bottom line?

Leo: He increased profit by over 200% in five years.

Seth: Ah, and how did you do that?

Leo: By running a tight ship. Not that he isn’t beloved by all who know him.

Craig: Leo. Let me speak for myself.

Leo: I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I can’t help but chime in. I’m just so proud.

Seth: Look, craig, you need to know I haven’t fired dr. Johnson yet.

Craig: Well, I understand, but I know how difficult it can be to replace someone at the top.

Leo: Luckily, craig is ready. He is efficient, effective, and respected. The complete package.

Sonny: Look, I’m counting on you, chloe, okay? The timing of this, it has to be perfect. All right, I’ll be in touch. So, guys, hey, focus.

Chad: What did she say?

Sonny: Oh, my god. That she and brady are keeping tabs on craig, okay? They will make sure that he does not walk in on you and leo too early or too late.

Chad: No, no, no, no. There’s not gonna be a too late. If craig does not walk in right on cue, then the whole thing is over. And that’s assuming I can even get leo into bed.

Sonny: Okay, well, something tells me that’s not gonna be a problem.

Abigail: Okay, well, then I guess it’s time for me to go and trash our marriage. Wish me luck, guys.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Ava: I had to come back. All my stuff is here.

Rafe: I’ll pack it up and send it to you. The key.

Ava: You gonna give it to her while I watch?

Rafe: You wish. No, I’ll be changing the locks.

Ava: I don’t understand why you’re being so hostile.

Nicole: Oh, you don’t?

Ava: No, I don’T. Because it was you two that were having sex on the conference table and then lied to me about it for months. And then you falsely accused me of getting you falsely accused of a crime.

Nicole: Oh, come on. You set rafe up, and it looked like a setup. That’s why he was acquitted.

Ava: I just came back here to pack up my things and to congratulate the two of you. Had I known you were gonna be so nasty I wouldn’t have even bothered. I’ll send you my forwarding address.

Rafe: Good.

Ava: Assuming you weren’t really going to arrest me. I didn’t think so. Have a wonderful life, you two. For as long as it lasts.

Nicole: Wow, one thing I can say about her, lady knows how to make an exit.

Tripp: Mom said something to me that’s starting to make sense now.

Steve: What was that?

Tripp: She was kind of warning me about trusting in love. I thought she was talking about allie and me, but maybe she was talking about herself, even though she was totally right about allie and me.

Steve: I’m sorry that didn’t work out.

Tripp: Better to find out now I guess. You know, it’s just, I gave allie so many chances to tell me she and chanel were more than friends, and I had to find out from johnny.

Steve: Well, you really got blindsided.

Tripp: Yeah, I was even starting to think of chanel as my friend. Kind of like mom and nicole. Makes it a lot worse.

Steve: So how are you holding up with all this, man?

Tripp: I miss her a lot. And, henry, he and i spent so much time together. Sweetest little guy.

Steve: Yeah, it’s gonna take a while to get over this. Just know that I’m here for you, buddy, okay?

Tripp: I appreciate that.

Steve: Come here.

Chad: Whoa, okay, a tad heavy on the scotch there, huh?

Sonny: Uh-huh.

Chad: I need to be in complete control of myself here tonight.

Sonny: To leo. Finally getting his. Ooh.

Chad: Okay, look, I know that you said that leo could never love a guy like craig. Are you sure we were doing the right thing here?

Sonny: Wait. Where’s this coming from? Are you getting cold feet?

[Knocking on door]

Leo: You’re not room service.

Abigail: Are you alone?

Leo: Sweetie, if this is a come-on, you are so not my type.

Abigail: I’m aware of that.

Leo: Then what are you doing here?

Abigail: I was just hoping we could talk, you know. It won’t take long.

Leo: Oh, okay. So what can I do for you?

Abigail: I just–I gotta know what exactly happened in phoenix between you and chad.

Leo: I beg your pardon?

Abigail: He spent just the one weekend there, and then yesterday I found him dressing up in women’s clothes.

Leo: Trust me, it takes way more than a weekend in phoenix to make that happen.

Abigail: Something happened between you two.

Leo: If you’re wondering about the time we ended up in bed together–

Abigail: Wait, the two of you what?

Allergies don’t have to be

scary.

Chad: Sonny, I said that I was gonna help, and I will. But I’m just–I’m remembering all the stuff that gwen did to come between abby and me, and to my everlasting shame, it worked. I love abby with my entire heart and soul, and gwen still came between us. So I’m just–what I’m trying to say is I’ve been on the other side of this.

Sonny: Okay, but that was completely different.

Chad: Okay, fine. Yes, so I’m not gonna sleep with him, but I’m still busting up his relationship.

Sonny: Yes, yes, so that you can save craig wesley from a world of hurt down the road.

Chad: Okay, then let me ask you this, is craig gonna see it that way?

Abigail: You were in bed with my husband?

Leo: And nothing happened. It was a misunderstanding.

Abigail: Well, it had a lasting effect on chad. I mean, it happened months ago, but he won’t stop bringing it up. I mean, he keeps going on, and on, and on about what a great time that he had. And I just–I got so sick and tired of hearing about it last night, we got into this huge argument and then, I heard him saying your name in his sleep.

Leo: He did? Maybe he was talking about another leo.

Abigail: Please, it’s obvious my husband is attracted to you.

Leo: It is?

Abigail: I saw the way that he was looking at you when we ran into you at the town square. And I saw the way that you were looking at him.

Leo: Oh, I check every guy out; it means nothing.

Abigail: Okay, look, chad and I, we have just gotten through so many issues in our marriage, all right? And I thought we were in a good place, like, really a good place. Apparently, we’re not, but we have two kids who need their father. I am begging you, please whatever you do, don’t sleep with him again. No matter how bad he wants you to.

Kayla: Now that belle is herself again, this should all just blow over.

Marlena: You don’t know how much I hope you’re right about that.

[Knocking on door]

Kayla: Yes.

Seth: I assume you haven’t changed your mind about what we discussed earlier.

Kayla: No, I haven’t, and I’m not going to.

Seth: Then I’m gonna have to take that decision out of your hands.

Kayla: Well, you can’t fire marlena without giving her a hearing before the board.

Seth: I’m not firing marlena.

Kayla: Good.

Seth: I’m firing you. It’s my 5:52 woke-up-like-this migraine medicine.

Rafe: I’m cleared. Ava’s gone. We’re together. It’s over.

Nicole: Mm-hmm. Yeah, I’d like to believe that. But I can’t stop thinking about ava’s parting words. “Have a wonderful life, you two, for as long as it lasts”? What the hell does that mean?

Rafe: It’s just ava trying to get in the last word.

Nicole: It was carefully phrased. I mean, she could have meant, “I hope you die,” “I hope your relationship dies a slow and painful death,” or my favorite is, “I’m putting a mob hit out on you tomorrow.”

Rafe: I’m not worried about ava.

Nicole: Rafe, we lied to her for way too long.

Rafe: I agree.

Nicole: She went out of her way to get back at you, and it didn’t work. I’m afraid she’s out for blood. She could have been telling us that she is not done with us.

Ava: How sweet. The world is full of love today.

Tripp: Mom, where have you been? I’ve been really worried about you.

Ava: Oh, honey, I just needed to get away from things for a while.

Steve: Police are looking for you.

Ava: I’m aware of that. I just saw rafe, and for some reason he didn’t run me in. Maybe he had more important plans with nicole.

Steve: What do you know about what happened to abigail?

Ava: I’m under no obligation to answer any of your questions, steve. I came here to take our son out to dinner. He and I have a lot to catch up on. So what time are you off duty here?

Tripp: About a half hour ago.

Ava: Oh, great, let’s go eat.

Tripp: All right, sure. See you soon?

Steve: Yeah.

Marlena: If you can’t fire me, you shouldn’t be able to fire kayla.

Seth: The bylaws, dr. Evans, state that the staff physician requires a hearing prior to termination, but the board can remove a chief of staff for cause, which we have. While dr. Johnson is being removed as chief of staff, her hospital privileges are suspended pending review.

Kayla: I see. Well, I imagine you’ll need me to stay on while you search for a replacement.

Seth: I’ve already found your replacement, dr. Johnson. Now, please clear things out of this office. I’d like dr. Wesley to start as soon as possible.

[Tense music]

Chad: From what you’ve told me, this guy craig is nothing like you were. He seems to know exactly who leo is and doesn’t care.

Sonny: No, no, no, no, he thinks he knows leo, but he’s new to this game, okay? And the longer it goes on, the worse it is gonna be when leo inevitably stabs him in the back. And he–no, no, no, he will do it after he’s drained this guy for every cent he can get. You know what? No, no, no, and for the record, for the record, what gwen put you through is nothing like this.

Chad: You don’t know that. You weren’t here.

Sonny: Okay, gwen made you believe that abigail was cheating on you when really wasn’t, right?

Chad: Yup.

Sonny: Okay, look, I’m sorry I freaked out, but all we’re doing is giving leo the chance to show his true colors. He doesn’t have to take the bait. How this turns out is entirely up to him.

Leo: What is your name again?

Abigail: Abigail.

Leo: Okay, abigail. Here’s the deal. I’m in a committed relationship. I’m happy for the first time in my life, and I wouldn’t do anything to ruin that, not even for a guy as hot as your husband.

Abigail: So even if he were interested in you, you wouldn’t entertain the idea of doing anything at all?

Leo: No, no entertaining at all, doll. You have nothing to worry about.

Abigail: Thank you. Oh, god, thank you. Okay, all right, well, I gotta go before chad wonders where I am. I mean, assuming he even notices I’m gone.

Leo: All right.

Abigail: Thank you.

[Clears throat]

[Phone line trilling] All right, yup, did my best to lay the groundwork. You’re on. This is the sound of nature breathing.

Rafe: You know, ava’s blasé about the long reach of the law, and she shouldn’t be because she set up the wrong guy. I’m gonna get to the bottom of abigail’s kidnapping and ava’s involvement in it. I promise you that.

Nicole: Okay, good.

Rafe: That didn’t sound like you believe me.

Nicole: It’s just that I’ve never been in a relationship with a cop before, and it’s kind of nice.

Rafe: Oh, really? You know, well, I’ve never been in a relationship with someone like you before. It’s also nice. I feel like we waited a long time to be in this relationship, and I, for one, feel like we got some catching up to do. Problem is, I smell like flop sweat, and stale cigarettes, and mildew.

Nicole: Oh, the hearty combination.

Rafe: Yeah.

Nicole: I’m sure a shower sounds pretty good right now.

Rafe: You know, actually, a bath sounds even better, especially if you join me.

Nicole: Ah, I think the chances of that are excellent.

Rafe: All right.

[Soft music]

Tripp: Dad told me about rafe and nicole. I’m sorry that happened to you.

Ava: Yeah, well, part of me knew about it.

Tripp: You were right about allie, too.

Ava: What do you mean? What happened?

>>Tripp: She cheated on me with chanel. We’re through.

Ava: Honey, I’m so sorry.

Tripp: Thank you for giving me your grandma’s ring to give to her, but I won’t be needing anymore.

Ava: Why don’t I just hold on to this for you until you meet the right woman?

Tripp: Okay.

Ava: She’s out there somewhere, and she’s gonna be so lucky when she finds you.

Steve: Ava just left the hospital with my son. They’re on their way to dinner. Closest place is the cafe in the square. I want you to keep an eye on her in case she tries to flee jurisdiction again. Thanks. Marlena.

Marlena: Oh, hi, steve.

Steve: Is kayla in her office?

Marlena: Yeah, she is, but…

Steve: What, what?

Marlena: I’m so sorry to tell you this. Kayla was just fired.

Kayla: So last night when I ran into you in the square, did you suck up to me because you didn’t want me to suspect that you were gonna steal my job? Or did you want me to give you a job if your grand scheme didn’t work out?

Craig: Kayla, I actually have mixed feelings about this whole situation. And then again, I didn’t create it; you did when you put your loyalties to an old friend ahead of the responsibilities to the hospital.

Kayla: You told seth burns that you’re gonna fire marlena, didn’t you?

Craig: She is claiming that she’s been possessed by a devil. Now, either marlena is going through a breakdown of some kind or–

Kayla: Or what?

Craig: I’m gonna do what has to be done.

Kayla: Leo put you up to this, didn’t he? Well, it worked. The office is all yours. Good luck with the job. You’re gonna need it.

[Tense music]

Craig: [Sighs]

[Phone line trilling]

Leo: Hello.

Craig: I’m at the hospital. I’m gonna be here for a while.

Leo: Does this mean you got the job?

Leo: Kayla was just fired. I start immediately.

Leo: Babe, I knew you could do it!

Craig: Thanks for believing in me. Anyway, I think things are gonna get busy here very soon, and I may not see you a lot for the next couple of weeks.

Leo: It’s all gonna be worth it, you’ll see.

Sonny: Hey. So how’d go with leo?

Abigail: Gave it everything I had, but oof, oof, oof. I mean, the idea of my husband coming onto that guy…

Sonny: Right, I get it. Thank you for being such a good sport.

Abigail: Well, you know, my motives aren’t entirely unselfish. It’s very good practice for my budding career as an actress.

Sonny: Right.

Abigail: Yeah, but in all seriousness, if leo is really into chad, then the sooner he’s gone the better.

Sonny: Yeah.

Leo: I’m still hungry.

[Knocking on door] Is that the wife again? What does she want now? Listen, sweetheart, I… chadwick, what are you doing here?

Chad: I just–I needed to see you.

Leo: You did?

Chad: Can I come in?

Nick: I been thinking a lot about this great journey we call life. The stormy seas, the times when we feel so lost. Like we’re out on the open water without a compass or a star up above.

Bill: Yeah, I know. But you gotta admit, we did have some pretty epic times together. I’m not spending the rest of my life without you. I love you brooke.

Bill: My cherie.

[ Camel grunting ] One of the things I loved most about you was that you loved me for me. You didn’t try to change me. You didn’t judge me for who I was. Well, the same holds true for you. I wouldn’t change a thing. How could I? How could any of us?

Brooke: Oh! Oh, thank you all for being here. To make me laugh and cry. And reminisce. And most importantly, not to feel alone. But if I were to be honest, there is just one thing I want to hear.

Interviews with “American Song Contest” contestants 3/21/22

Posted on March 26, 2022April 3, 2022 by TvMegasite Admin

TV Interview!

Interview with contestants the first qualifier round of “American Song Contest” on NBC by Suzanne 3/21/22

Michael Bolton on Zoom on the red carpet

Monday night was the premiere of “American Song Contest” on NBC. This is the new American version of Eurovision that we talked about last week. A small group of us journalists watched the live show and then interviewed all 11 contestants for this first round of live qualifiers. Honestly, I don’t watch most competition or music shows on TV. I just don’t have the time, and I’d rather watch scripted shows. I thought they did a pretty good job with it, though, and I enjoyed watching the contestants and learning about their backstories. I thought that the best song was “Loko” by Christian Pagán of Puerto Rico. The song was very catchy and his performance was great. Clearly, Heuston from Rhode Island also did very well. His song started out slowly and gravel-y-voiced… but got better, and he was aces at singing a ballad that melted everyone’s hearts. He was voted by the judges to go to the next round.

Although my main career is TV journalist and expert, I’m also a singer. I started singing in grade school and was taking voice lessons in high school and all through college. I’ve still been singing and taking lessons for years, and I was in a band for awhile. So, I’m coming at this music contest from that perspective as well as from the TV show. I found it interesting as TV more than as music. This show is not “The Voice.” The singers here are being judged more for their songwriting and their performing than their singing…not that any of them are terrible singers. These are professional working musicians that do well in their local venues (and some nationally).

Michael Bolton singing in "American Song Contest" March 21, 2022

Mostly, I came here to see and talk to Michael Bolton. His song was not that great, to be honest. I did get to ask him a question, but unfortunately, the sound quality during that part of the interviews on the virtual red carpet was not good, and my recording below is almost unintelligible. I asked him if he wrote the song for this competition, what inspired it, and why he chose it. He gave a nice, long answer, that I can’t make heads or tails of, which is a darn shame. I hope he makes it to the next round, and then I’ll be able to chat with him again. His songs were big hits back in the 80’s when I was in college. I loved his biggest hit, “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You?,” which was also recorded by Laura Branigan. In fact, I have also sung that song many times in karaoke, and I always get a good reaction. His other huge hit was his version of “When a Man Loves a Woman.”

Most of the other recordings came out OK. I hope you enjoy them!

Kelly Clarkson and Snoop Dogg in "American Song Contest" 3/21/22

The show itself was fun. Snoop Dogg had a nice kind of laidback attitude to counter Kelly Clarkson’s infectious energy. Stay tuned for more contestants on the next show, Monday 3/28/22 on NBC! If you missed last week’s episode, find it on NBC.

Here are the videos, except for one that I’m missing from Christian Pagán and hope to have tomorrow.

Jake’O from Wisconsin was our first interviewee… I was having great difficulty hearing him… as you can tell by the faces I’m making. He sang a song called “Feel Your Love.” I took myself off video when I wasn’t asking a question because I didn’t want to have to worry about how I looked the whole time! This video clip is from Jamie of http://www.scifivision.com

Here’s Christian Pagán of Puerto Rico! He sang a really fun song, “Loko.” He would be my top pick. My recording didn’t come out, so this is from Jamie of http://www.scifivision.com

Here’s Michael Bolton! He seemed pretty tired, and his speaking voice was not loud enough, on top of the other technical difficulties and background noise. He sang “Beautiful World.” My recording didn’t come out, so this is from Jamie of http://www.scifivision.com

Here’s the best transcription I could get for this, from TranscriptionPuppy.

Moderator: Hi, guys. We have Michael Bolton.

Michael: Hello.

Moderator: Chris, you’re up first; Beth, you’re on deck, and then Jamie.

Chris: Hi, Michael. How are you? Great performance tonight.

Michaeln: Thank you very much. For a timely song [inaudible] it’s getting harder. Things got harder in the real world.

Chris: It really is. I was just curious, what made you decide to be a part of this experience?

Michael: Oh. Well, songwriting is on the very top of my list of the things I love about music through the years and something that is enduring during [inaudible] function as an artist and a songwriter where I plan on continuing to be surrounded by people who love music and love to write. Things that are very wide, very [inaudible] so much really good, and then, of course, there’s Kelly, who’s spectacular, [inaudible] you got to talk to her on the line and it seems that [inaudible] so I ask my agent to find it well to physically [inaudible] whole made sense to happened then, I wrote [inaduble] of just [inaudible] someone who will work tied up [inaudible] and we wrote a song about knowing how intense [inaudible] great [inaudible] it means the world [inaudible] just make perfect sense to me, I love music [inaudible]

Chris: Thank you so much!

Jamie: Hi, Jamie Ruby here, from SciFiVision. Thank you so much for talking to us tonight. I really enjoyed your song So, obviously, you’ve been doing this for a really long time. Are there still new things to learn after doing something like this about yourself?

Michael: That kind of person who [inaudible] in every area of your life. [inaudible] like more [inaudible] for computers.

Jamie: Thank you.

Moderator: Beth, go ahead.

Beth: Thank you. It was so great seeing you, Michael. This is Beth with Hollywood Junket. I really enjoyed your performance tonight. I was wondering, are there any other contestants seeking your advice on their performances or rehearsals this week?

Michael: Everybody seems to be very [inaudible] and [inaudible] of their career. But I didn’t have [inaudible] always frequently, [inaudible] specifically when they’re inspiring [inaudible] somewhere where I can help them, kind of, avoid the dead ends and waste their time in [inaudible] themselves to [inaudible] something that [inaudible] look forward about this really great, really help [inaudible]

Beth: Thank you so much.

Moderator: Suzanne you’re up next, Justin you’re on deck.

Michael: Hi, Suzanne.

Suzanne: Hi Michael. What made you…what inspired you to write the song that you sang tonight, and what made you choose it for this contest?

Michael Bolton: Ironically, we are actually looking at completely different suggestions and this writing a song [inaudible] online [inaudible] start writing a song and [inaudible] create music [inaudible] I don’t think [inaudible] I don’t wanna [inaudible] imagine kind of threat [inaudible] somehow [inaudible] my mind [inaudible].

Suzanne: Alright, thank you.

Ryan Charles of Wyoming was next. He sang a really fun song, “”New Boot Goofin'” He was dressed like a cowboy, but he raps!

Kelsey Lamb of Arkansas was after him. I was pulling for her because I live in that state, but I don’t think her song, “Never Like This” was exciting enough to win the competition.

Next up was Keyone Starr of Mississippi, who sang “Fire.” Great song!

The next artists was UG Skywalkin of Indiana. His first name is pronounced like the letters U.G. (yoo jee) not like UGH! He has an interesting backstory, which I asked him about. His song was “Love in My City.”

AleXa of Oklahoma… she’s part Korean, so she does K-Pop. She put on quite a production, but her song, “Wonderland,” was not very notable.

This girl, Alisabeth Von Presley, of Iowa, sang really well, but I don’t think the song, “Wonder” was very catchy.

Heuston of Rhode Island really wowed everyone with his song, “Held on Too Long.” It was great to chat with him. My husband’s family is from Rhode Island!

Yam Haus is a really enthusiastic group of friends from Minnesota who sang “Ready to Go.” They had a lot of energy. This was our last group to interview.

I hope you enjoyed these interviews!

Review of “Lucifer: The Complete Fifth Season”

Posted on March 25, 2022September 10, 2023 by TvMegasite Admin

DVD Review!

“Lucifer: The Complete Fifth Season” Review by Suzanne 3/25/22

This has always been a fun and entertaining show. Credit for that goes to the writers and their sparkling dialogue and inventive stories, as well as the charm of star Tom Ellis. The show keeps you guessing about what is really going on. Is it a supernatural show? Is it a soap opera? Is it a cop show? Or is it all of those? Yet, unlike other shows which try to be more than one thing at a time, it doesn’t ever falter or get confusing.

I watched these episodes, even though I’ve only seen the first episode of the entire series, yet I was not lost or confused. It’s very easy to just pick up these set and enjoy it. Check it out!

Unfortunately, for a DVD set, it is lacking in features. All they have are the deleted scenes and the gag reel. If you like that sort of thing, you might wait until the show is over and get the “complete series” set, where they’ll probably have more options.

Review of “Rick and Morty Seasons 1 – 5”

DVD Review!

“Rick and Morty Seasons 1 – 5” Review by Suzanne 3/25/22

This is a very popular show, but it’s never been one of my favorites. I don’t like the animation, for one thing. I find this type of animation too crude and gross for my tastes. However, the animation style is similar to the style of humor as well. I’m probably just the wrong age to enjoy it because younger people are the ones that love it.

If you’re a fan of the show, you will no doubt love this 5-season set. on regular DVD or Blu-ray. It is a huge set that has many features for each season. It is well worth the price. However, since the show is still running, you might want to save your money and wait until the whole series finishes to buy the big set. If you’re a serious collector, though, you’ll want both.

Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Taylor: Bye, tanya.

[ Sighs ] Thanks so much for meeting me here.

Allie: Yeah, of course. Um…I hope there isn’t a problem. The house is in very good condition.

Taylor: Oh, it’s a lovely place. My realtor told me everything was in satisfactory condition.

Allie: Okay, so would you like me to give you a personal tour, tell you about some of the quirks of the house?

Taylor: I think I can find my way on my own.

Allie: Okay, then I’m not sure what else there is to say. So why is it that you wanted to meet with me in person?

Jack: Allie, I want you to know I would never force any kind of a relationship on you. I recently lost my mother. I have some idea of the enormity of what you’re dealing with. None of it is easy.

Allie: I appreciate you saying that.

Jack: Thank you for this. I hope you find peace soon. I wish you well in all of your endeavors.

Allie: If you’re ever back in la in the future, maybe we could, um, get together or something. Go for coffee.

Jack: I would like that very much.

Phyllis: Okay, well, now that traci and billy are gone and it’s just us, I’d like to be brutally honest with you.

Jack: I would expect nothing less from you.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Listen, I, um… how do I say… I know that traci has the best of intentions when it comes to her and her grand-niece. I get it. Um…but sometimes, you know, the miss manners approach, it’s — it’s not the best way to go. I’m just saying, you got to throw caution to the wind.

Jack: I know that’s always been your approach.

Phyllis: Well, that’s your approach, too. I mean, traci wasn’t there. She didn’t see the pain in that girl’s eyes.

Jack: But you did.

Phyllis: You did, too. If you want to help this girl, you can. It’s your granddaughter. I mean, you don’t want to stand back, do you?

Jack: You might be right. I can’t expect allie to make the first move — that’s up to me.

Phyllis: Yes, it is. It’s up to you. So let’s book the jabot jet. I’ll meet you at the airport. We’ll be in la in no time.

Lily: Oh, good, you’re back. I have news.

Billy: Okay. Judging by that smile on your face, this could be something good.

Lily: Yeah, guess.

Billy: Guess.

Lily: Yes.

Billy: Um, you discovered a way to make no-calorie chocolate.

Lily: Uh, no, I wish, but no.

Billy: Okay, I think I have it here. Um…you’re launching a space exploration division with chancellor because all the big tech companies are doing it and you would design a much cooler rocket.

Lily: Oh, my god, you’re not even trying to guess. Just guess, come on!

Billy: I don’t want to guess. I just want to know because then I can kiss you and celebrate.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Chelsea: I have to admit, I was surprised to hear from you.

Nate: Yeah, well, when i picked up the phone to call you, I kind of surprised myself. How have you been?

Chelsea: Really good. Really good. I’ve been spending a lot of time with connor and creating this new clothing brand with chloe. It’s keeping me busy.

Nate: Well, that’s great. Well, when it launches, I’m sure elena will pick up a few pieces.

Chelsea: There are several that she would look fabulous in.

Nate: Well, I will tell her to keep an eye out for them.

Chelsea: Mm-hmm. I’m excited about this next chapter for myself. Although it is…it’s tricky. Being back here brings up a lot of memories.

Nate: Yeah, I can only imagine. And I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable by asking you to meet me here.

Chelsea: It’s fine. This is the only way to do it.

Nate: Yeah, I just want to do what’s right for everyone.

Chelsea: It’s a big move, if you’re really gonna go for it.

Nate: I know, but I think it’s time for a change.

Lily: My good news is that congratulations are in order. Your first episode of your podcast got overwhelmingly great feedback.

Billy: Are you sure all that feedback’s not from traci? Because, besides you, she’s the only one that listened to the whole thing.

Lily: No, look at the download data. There are a lot more people listening than just traci.

Billy: Wow. I’m actually really surprised by that.

Lily: Why? I mean, clearly your openness and honesty struck a chord, and people connect to your journey of trying to get over the pain of losing your daughter.

Billy: Yeah, well, that’s a relief because I thought I was gonna get trashed for putting something so personal out there, so…

[ Chuckles ]

Lily: No, I mean, look, of course there’s a few negative comments. I mean, every podcast has that, but overall, the response has been positive.

Billy: Well, like I said, if I can help one person not fall into the pitfalls that I did, then all of this would be worth it.

Lily: Well, I think it’s great, and I’m really, really proud of you. And I think that you should take advantage of the enthusiasm and put out episode 2.

Billy: Mm, yeah, well, therein lies the dilemma, because, uh…I’m not sure i have anything else to say.

Chelsea: As you can see, not much has changed since you last lived here.

Nate: Yeah, I can see.

Chelsea: I’m grateful that you’re considering moving back in. I had a buyer all lined up and he flaked at the last minute. It’s nice of you to consider buying an apartment from a former poisoner.

Nate: No, you’ve owned up to your mistake, and it seems like rey’s gotten past it, as well, so I can’t hold it against you either, even though rey was my patient.

Chelsea: Rey’s pretty special. He’s pretty special. Most people would want me locked up for what I did to him, but he’s willing to give me a second chance. I’ll forever be thankful for that.

Nate: Mm.

[ Exhales sharply ]

Chelsea: So…what’s the verdict? Are you in?

[ Knock on door ]

Devon: Hey.

Chelsea: Devon, hey, come in.

Devon: I thought I heard nate’s voice in here. What are you doing?

Nate: Um…how would you like to be neighbors again?

Jack: Not so fast. We’re not gonna just drop everything and take off for california.

Phyllis: Why not?

Jack: Because I’m not ready to throw caution that far to the wind. Look, I want more than anything to bring allie into this family, but I want to think this whole thing through. Look, this is a delicate situation.

Phyllis: Oh, alright. You don’t want her to feel like she’s being ambushed, right?

Jack: Exactly.

Phyllis: Oh.

Jack: Maybe you can help me find a way to approach her that doesn’t come off as pushy. I don’t want to scare her away.

Phyllis: Alright, okay. I mean, can we get her to come to genoa city anytime soon?

Jack: How are we gonna pull that off?

Phyllis: I don’t know, we just concoct some story that you have something of keemo’s —

Jack: No, no, no, no, I am trying to get her to trust me and my family. I don’t want to start a potential future relationship with her on a lie.

Phyllis: A lie — yeah, that would be bad.

Jack: No, you know what? I think I’m just gonna follow her lead on this. Take her up on the offer she made the last time we were with her.

Phyllis: Oh, having coffee, okay in la. Are you going to la anytime soon?

Jack: Well, I don’t have anything on the schedule, but god knows jabot has business in california.

Phyllis: No better time than the present. Seems like you can hop on that plane after all.

Jack: Not so fast. I’m gonna reach out to her, tell her I’m gonna be in la for a day or two, that I’d like to take her up on that coffee, and she’s got a couple days to think about it. And we’ll see what she says and we’ll go based on what she decides.

Phyllis: Oh, that’s nice. That’s a solid plan. A short-term event on neutral territory, right? It’s good. Don’t be pushy, no pressure.

Taylor: Forgive me if I gave you any cause for concern. I just wanted to meet the previous owner. I was curious why someone would want to sell such a nice home in this terrific neighborhood.

Allie: I have my own apartment near school now, and my dad was living here until he recently… he passed away.

Taylor: Oh, I’m — I’m so sorry to hear that. You have my sympathies. Do you have other family?

[ Cellphone rings ]

Allie: Jack. Hi. I’m steve.

Devon: Ah, so you and elena want to move in here after all the work you’ve done on your new house?

Nate: All that work is the reason why elena and I have been talking about moving. You know, after one repair job is done, another problem pops up. Contractor is there so much, i know his entire life story.

Chelsea: Well, I’ll let you two talk. Um…but, nate, just so you know, I am an eager seller. Bye.

Devon: See ya.

Nate: Look, I know you weren’t too happy when I sold this place and moved out, considering that I inherited it from neil, but maybe I can make up for that mistake now.

Devon: Yeah, I’m — I’ve gotten past that. But…no, you won’t get any pushback from me at all. Does this move have anything to do with what’s been bugging you lately? That “bad judgment call” you talked about at the coffee house? ‘Cause it seemed like it was more than just you turning down locke’s job offer.

Nate: Yeah, I’m not sure how that judgment call’s gonna play out. There could be consequences down the road. But I can’t worry about that. I have to move forward and live my life.

Devon: Right. Okay, well, hey, I’m always here to talk to if you want.

Nate: Thank you, but the last thing I want to do is drag you into this mess. It’s better for you not to know. But what I would like to talk to you about is this idea of me joining you and lily. Is this merger really happening?

Devon: Yeah, looks like it.

Nate: And is there really a place for me inside this family business?

Jack: Hi, allie. How are you? I’ve been thinking of you a lot lately.

Allie: I’m hanging in there. I’m a little surprised that you called.

Jack: Actually, I’m a little surprised to be contacting you so soon. I may have mentioned my company does a lot of business in california, and, well, it looks like I’m gonna need to make a trip out there, so I thought maybe I’d take you up on your offer for a cup of coffee or maybe we could grab dinner. No pressure at all.

Allie: [ Sighs ] Jack, I’m not sure. I had assumed that our next meeting wouldn’t be for a while.

Jack: Okay, I understand. Um, you know, I won’t be coming out for a day or two. That’ll give you some time to think about it, and you just tell me what you decide.

Allie: I will.

Jack: Okay, I won’t keep you any longer. It’s great to hear your voice. I hope to see you soon. You take care.

Allie: Goodbye, jack.

Jack: Goodbye, allie.

Phyllis: That’s okay. I mean, she didn’t say yes, but on the positive side, she didn’t say no either.

Taylor: I don’t mean to pry, but is everything alright?

Allie: Yeah. Just some family issues.

Taylor: [ Sighs ] Well, I can relate to that. Unfortunately, I’ve had to deal with plenty of those myself. I’ve…been hurt more times than I can say. But it’s important to have family to turn to when things get rough. I mean, take it from someone who has survived more than you can imagine. You have less time than you think to make amends. And regret is…it’s a hard thing to live with once it’s too late to connect.

Lily: I’m sorry, you don’t have anything more to say? I find that very hard to believe.

Billy: I guess what I’m saying is that I, you know, i went for it on the first podcast. I dove head-first and I went deep, and a lot of that pent-up pain went away. I mean, I talked about delia and I talked about the good and bad things that happened since her death. I talked about making it through and coming out the other side in a positive place. What else do I have to say? I mean, where do I go from that?

Lily: What do you mean? You have so much more to share. I mean, you find ways to keep me fascinated every day.

Billy: Yeah, you have to say that because I live with you and you love me. Not everyone loves me the way you do.

Lily: Look, you have many more stories to tell. Good, bad, lessons learned. Paths not taken. You know, and I understand if you don’t want to keep talking about the past, but billy abbott always has something to say.

Billy: Yeah, but do people want to hear it? That’s what I’m not so sure about.

Lily: Look, do not give up so easily, okay? I mean, not only has the response been positive, but i think it’s had a really positive effect on you.

Billy: You think so?

Lily: Yeah. I think that you’re in a better mood, you know? You’re more focused at work. You’re more energized.

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Lily: And I don’t know, maybe I’m being selfish, but I would love more of this good thing.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Billy: Let it ring.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: Don’t answer it.

Lily: Oh, god, it might be one of your adoring fans. Let’s see who it is. Hold on.

Devon: Hey.

Lily: Hello.

Devon: Hope it’s not a bad time.

Lily: No, come on in.

Devon: Yeah?

Lily: Yeah.

Devon: I was hoping to talk to you and billy about the merger.

Billy: Uh, yeah, that’s — that’d be great.

Devon: I figure that we can hash out exactly how the companies are gonna work together and find a place for nate to fit in. I’m hoping to convince him to come on board.

Lily: Well, I am very glad that you asked.

Nate: What is that little smile between you two about?

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Because I think I came up with a plan that all of us can agree on. When tired, achy feet make your whole body want to stop,

Lily: So I’ve been filling billy in on some of my ideas.

Billy: She has quite the vision for this merged corporation.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] So I’m thinking that we need to consolidate and give chancellor-winters a sharper, more two-fold focus.

Devon: Huh. That’s interesting. Tell me more.

Lily: Well, I think that we keep the entertainment and media division under hamilton-winters, and chancellor would focus on merchandise, ancillary products, commercial real estate, such as, you know, theaters, concert venues, hotels, to support the entertainment half.

Devon: Right. Yeah, I mean, that makes complete sense to me. Our resources would feed each other and give our consumers a full package.

Lily: Yeah. So do you approve?

Devon: Absolutely, I approve. Yeah, it’s a corporate match made in heaven.

Taylor: Family is the most precious thing we have in this world. I wish to this day I had more relatives that I could turn to now. Oh. I’m sorry. I’m sorry, I’m afraid I’m touching on things that you might not want to share with a stranger like myself. Oh, that’s always been my problem. I just feel so at ease around people, and then I just start chatting away like we’re old friends.

Allie: No, it’s okay. Even though you don’t know much about my situation, it’s actually kind of comforting to hear that from someone who seems to understand what I’m going through.

Taylor: Mm. Well, I’m no stranger to loss, and my heart goes out to anyone in that kind of pain. And losing a parent, that has to be one of the hardest blows life has to offer. Allie, you must be feeling so lost and alone without your father.

Allie: You have no idea.

Taylor: [ Sighs ] Forgive me, but I couldn’t help but overhear you on the phone. You were speaking with someone named jack, was it? Well, maybe you shouldn’t have put this person off. I mean, perhaps you could use some family right now.

Allie: Why would you say that jack is my family?

Taylor: Oh, well, I just — i just assumed because you said that the call was about family issues.

Allie: Yeah, the situation with jack is really complicated.

Taylor: What family isn’t complicated? But if this family member could be someone you could lean on or could offer you companionship or even support, well, isn’t that what you need right now?

Phyllis: So thank you for bringing me here to get my guacamole fix.

Jack: Hang it up. I’ve known you too long to fall for that old trick.

Phyllis: What trick?

Jack: Well, it’s pretty obvious you coerced me into coming here with you as a distraction.

Phyllis: From what? Empanadas. They have chicken empanadas — look at that. That’s great. I talked to summer earlier. She said that harrison has mastered knowing more italian words than she.

Jack: Why am I not surprised to hear that? My grandson is a bright little boy. I wonder where he gets that.

Phyllis: I wonder where he gets it. She also told me that she found a replacement for me for the marketing job at marchetti.

Jack: A replacement for you? Impossible.

Phyllis: I know that’s impossible, right?

Jack: You have any regrets about not going to milan to work with her?

Phyllis: Um, no, I actually don’t, because if I was in milan, then I wouldn’t have been able to — to go on that great adventure with you to los angeles.

Jack: I wholeheartedly agree. That trip to la would have been far lonelier, far more difficult if you had not been there for me as my constant supporter and my loyal counsel.

Phyllis: And I really want to thank you for letting me talk you into taking those texts seriously.

Jack: I owe you big time, red.

Phyllis: You don’t owe me anything. I’m glad to help. Hi, my name is cherrie.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Devon: Well, I got to say, I’m very excited by this plan.

Nate: Sounds like a win-win for everyone.

Billy: It’s a mogul-level idea from the most brilliant ceo I know.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Thank you. Well, here’s what I’m thinking, is that you handle the entertainment side, we’ll handle the merchandise and hospitality divisions, and, you know, we’ll interact, we’ll share resources, but while we maintain autonomy over our respective divisions.

Devon: You know I love the sound of that very much. But I’ll be open to your ideas, for sure.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Well, you might regret saying that since I have opinions about everything.

Billy: Yeah, right before you got here, her opinion of me was that I never shut up.

Devon: [ Chuckles ] Well, I’m sure I’ll have plenty of opinions about your side of things, too.

Lily: That’s fine. I look forward to hearing it all.

Devon: What do we think that jill’s gonna feel about this and the rest of the board members? ‘Cause I’m not sure they’re gonna be too excited about this consolidation aspect.

Lily: Well, actually, i thought about that, and we spoke with jill and she’s in full support of this.

Devon: Really?

Lily: And she has full confidence that we’ll gain support from the board, too.

Billy: We basically have unanimous approval, so it’s full speed ahead.

Lily: Yeah, well, first, I do want to ask you, nate — I mean, how do you feel about being a part of all of this?

Nate: Well, given recent circumstances, I’m ready for a new beginning. Clean slate. It’s just a question of exactly where I would fit in your new corporate structure.

Devon: You want to be my coo?

Nate: [ Exhales sharply ] Well — [ Chuckles ] Okay. Uh…I think you have a little too much faith in your cousin’s business skills.

Devon: No, I don’t think so. I disagree with that completely. We know you’re smart, you studied business, you’ve been running the entire surgery department at the hospital for a while now. I know that admin work isn’t easy to do. And you’re already on the board of hamilton-winters.

Nate: Yeah, but that’s just me offering my advice. That’s a whole lot different than me actually doing the work.

Devon: Still, though, man. Still. I’m very confident that you can handle it.

Lily: Yeah, I mean, honestly, your familiarity with the operations of hamilton-winters can only help.

Devon: Absolutely. Absolutely. And listen, if any part of our history is keeping you from saying yes, just look at this as another opportunity to put it all behind us. Can we count you in?

Elena: Are you serious, another three weeks for the part? But you just said that two weeks ago.

[ Chuckles ] Honestly, I’m growing a little impatient here.

[ Cellphone chimes ] One second. Um, I’m gonna have to call you back. I have a better offer. Thanks.

Allie: [ Sighs ]

Taylor: I hope I haven’t overstepped.

Allie: No. Actually, the fresh perspective is really helpful. All my life I’ve had my dad to turn to for advice, and now he’s suddenly gone.

Taylor: Mm.

Allie: And I have so many questions that I wish he could answer.

Taylor: I can only imagine how tough that must be, but you seem like a very smart and resourceful young woman. And I’m sure you’ll know where to turn when you need to. And on that last bit of unsolicited advice, I will shut my mouth.

Allie: No, thank you, taylor. Look, I really appreciate everything you had to say. You know, I’m glad that we got the chance to meet. It’s just — it’s so nice to know that my father’s house is going to someone as kind and as sensitive as you are. Is there anything else you wanted to know about the house?

Taylor: Oh, uh, my realtor mentioned the shower knobs are hard to turn.

Allie: Yes. They can be tricky. You need to push and then turn. I can show you how they work.

Taylor: Oh, I’ll follow you in just a minute. I just need to respond to a text.

Jack: I may not owe you, but lunch is my treat. I insist.

Phyllis: You insist, really? I’m not opposed to you buying me a meal ever, ever.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Jack: Is it too much to hope that maybe allie has sent a positive response so soon.

Phyllis: Only one way to find out.

Jack: Interesting.

Phyllis: What’s interesting? What’d she say?

Jack: It isn’t from allie, it’s from our friendly anonymous texter. “Doing what I can to help. I think allie might be more receptive soon.” It’s my 5:52 woke-up-like-this migraine medicine.

Phyllis: I just want to find out who this texter is. Why are they so hell-bent on keeping their identity a secret?

Jack: So much for a distracting meal. Best-laid plans.

Phyllis: Just driving me crazy.

Jack: Please take it easy. Your efforts to distract me were successful. As far as this new text goes, I’m looking at it as a step in the right direction.

Phyllis: Really? Okay, you’re very kind. I’m not as kind. I just have a hard time thinking that someone is lovely, you know, when they’re hiding their identity behind a cellphone.

Jack: Okay, maybe the anonymity is an important, necessary means to their helping us out.

Phyllis: Well, but why do they want to help? Why? I mean, why do they have a vested interest in making sure that you and allie become closer?

Jack: I am not going to start questioning their motives. Right now they’re doing me a huge favor. I wouldn’t know I had a granddaughter if not for his or her texts telling me to get to california in the first place.

Phyllis: Oh, it’s a her.

Jack: Wait, how do you know that?

Phyllis: [ Scoffs ] Um…’cause I’m a woman and I know these things, and it’s the tone of the texts. It’s definitely a her.

Jack: Okay, you can take your detective hat off. Obviously, this person does not want to reveal their identity. I worry if we push too hard, if we dig too deep, it’s gonna tick her off — if, indeed, it is a her — and the messages stop and so does the help for our cause.

Phyllis: Alright. Okay. Can we just agree that this last text came from los angeles? Yeah, okay, it probably came from los angeles. Okay, so I can get a special tracker on all the cellphone towers t–

Jack: You’re not — you’re not hearing me. I want you to stop. I don’t want to scare this person away. Let them have their anonymity, at least for now. My priority is allie.

Phyllis: Okay, sure.

Jack: This latest text gives me new hope. Can we just enjoy that for now?

Allie: So remember, push, and then quickly turn the faucet on. The water will come out strong. It might even be the best shower you ever had.

Taylor: [ Chuckles ] Thanks for the tip and the demonstration.

Allie: My pleasure. You should know how everything in your new home works.

Taylor: Well, I have taken up enough of your time. I really appreciate your patience.

Allie: When do you think you’ll be officially moving in?

Taylor: I’m — I’m not sure yet. I have a few family issues of my own to deal with first, and that will determine my next move.

Allie: [ Chuckles ] Now you’ve got me curious.

Taylor: Hmm. Well, let’s just say that at the moment, this house is sort of a safety net for me. It’s important to have that, you know? Don’t ever underestimate the importance of having a place to land, just in case.

[ Knock on door ]

Elena: Hello? Nate? I hope I’m in the right place.

Nate: You are most definitely in the right place.

Elena: What’s going on? Did you rent out chelsea’s place fro the night?

Nate: I’m hoping to do a lot more than that.

[ Sighs ] The penthouse is ours if you want it. Look, I know the construction at the place has been driving you crazy. Hell, it’s been making me nuts, too. So why not move back into this building?

Elena: [ Chuckles ] Just like that?

Nate: Well, we already know we have great neighbors here. And family dinners would be easy to do with devon and amanda across the hall. What? You hate the idea of living here? (Clucking noises)

Elena: Just, um…

[ Chuckles ] Give me a chance to catch my breath.

[ Chuckles ]

Nate: [ Sighs ] Look, I know how much you wanted to make our home together special, and it just wasn’t happening at that house. But if it’s too awkward for you to live across the hall from the apartment you used to share with devon, I understand.

Elena: I mean, it’s certainly crossed my mind. But I think we’ve come a long way since then, and I have been working on rebuilding my friendships with devon and amanda.

Nate: But I don’t want to reopen any old wounds. And if it helps, I spoke to devon. He says he’d love it if we were neighbors.

Elena: He’s all about having family close by.

Nate: But I don’t want you to feel pressured. You need to feel 100% comfortable in your own home. So if you don’t want to live here, I can give the keys back.

Elena: No, nate, um… I think I love the idea of moving here. I think we can finally put that construction nightmare behind us.

Nate: Mm.

Elena: And just focus on the joy of living, just the two of us, with no strangers walking in and out of the house to fix things.

Nate: I am so glad you feel that way. Even though you might have to deal with devon constantly dropping by and drinking our beers and watching games.

[ Chuckles ]

Elena: That’s an interruption I can handle. But I do have to ask — is this what you really want? Or does this have something to do with what’s been going on?

Nate: [ Sighs ] Honestly? I’m determined to move past this whole ashland situation, and this is a part of that.

Elena: Okay. So is this your way of outrunning your demons?

Nate: No, I’m simply looking for a clean slate. This could be exactly what i need to hit the reset button.

Elena: Okay. Okay. I mean, if this is going to help you cope, then who am I to fight against living in this beautiful penthouse?

[ Chuckles ]

Nate: Yes, I feel like this is the right move. Reclaiming an inheritance that i should have never given up in the first place.

Elena: [ Sighs ]

Nate: I think neil left me this place for a reason.

Elena: Wait, you said that there were two surprises.

Nate: Mm.

Elena: And I am clearly blown away by the first, and almost afraid to ask about the second.

Nate: You are going to be living with a newly minted coo.

Elena: [ Gasps ]

[ Chuckles ]

Lily: I cannot believe this is really happening.

Billy: From the second you came up with the idea on how to structure the merger of these two companies, I knew it was brilliant.

Lily: I mean, I wasn’t sure if devon would agree, but now that he and nate are on board, it’s all coming together.

Billy: I didn’t question it for a second. I knew you were gonna pull this off.

Lily: Man, all the family i have in genoa city will be working together.

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Lily: I mean, I know, for you, it’s something that you take for granted, even rebelled against because jabot has always been a part of your life, but for me, it really means a lot.

Billy: It should. It really should. And if my siblings were easy to get along with, like devon and nate, maybe I would’ve never left the family business.

Lily: Well, I mean, we’ve also had difficult moments.

Billy: Yeah, but it’s not the same, and you know it. I mean, you all handled your issues like mature, rational adults. The abbotts are petty and stubborn.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Well, I will probably ask you to draw on your jabot experience whenever business disagreements become personal.

Billy: You got it. But I have to warn you, I’m always gonna be on your side, not only because I love you, but because the time I’ve spent working with you, I’ve realized you’re always right.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] That’s true. Thank you for having so much faith in me.

Billy: My pleasure.

Devon: [ Sighs ] My man. I got some very exciting news. But I have a feeling that you had a very big hand in making it all happen in the first place. The family’s finally coming together the way you always dreamed.

Taylor: Thanks again for your time. I know you’re going through a lot right now. Allie, I hope you figure things out and I hope that life gets better for you. And don’t be afraid to reach out to the people who care about you.

Allie: Thanks, taylor.

Taylor: Yeah.

Jack: [ Exhales sharply ]

[ Cellphone rings ] Allie. I didn’t expect to hear from you so soon.

Allie: Jack, hi. Listen, I thought about it, and I actually would be okay with having coffee while you’re in la.

Jack: That is great. I’ll be in touch with you as soon as I arrive. I’m really looking forward to this.

Allie: I am, too. Goodbye, jack.

Jack: Goodbye, allie.

Taylor: [ Sighs ]

Proofread by Anita

Jordan: Officer Perez, please keep an eye on Mr. Corinthos. He’s been recently released on bail. We’re just waiting for the paperwork.

Perez: Got it.

[ Keys jingling ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Jordan: Do everyone a favor. If that reporter gets in your face again, walk the other way. Everything okay?

Curtis: That’s just what I’m trying to find out. I really need your help.

Willow: Michael. [ Sighs ]

Alexis: Well, this is a surprise.

Harmony: Hey, I just got off work. Can I pick your brain about something? Like, only if you have a minute and I’m not interrupting.

Alexis: Yeah, I just put the—the last edition to bed, so… What’s this about? Is it about Willow?

Harmony: Kind of. Um, it’s more about Nina Reeves.

Sonny: Hey.

Nina: Hey. I don’t know why I’m always so surprised to see you here. You own the bar, after all.

Sonny: Yeah, well, that’s true. Uh, Phyllis had to see a distributor, and, um, you know, i-instead of closing down during the dead zone, which is between 12:00 and happy hour, I-I said that I would cover.

Nina: That’s very sweet of you. Nostalgic for runny a bar?

Sonny: Well, it’s better than sitting in my office all by myself. Too many ghosts, you know — especially with Jason gone.

Nina: I hear you.

Sonny: Were you gonna see Phyllis? You want a drink?

Nina: Um, both, actually. I was following up on something important.

Sonny: Is there anything I can help you with?

Laura: Spencer.

Spencer: Hey, Grandmother.

Laura: Oh. [ Laughs ]

Spencer: Wow. It almost seems like you missed me.

Laura: [ Laughs ] I did! Oh, my goodness. A month in Spring Ridge didn’t hurt you at all.

Spencer: Except label me a convicted felon. I guess I’ll be serving sandwiches and soft drinks at Kelly’s for the rest of my life.

Nikolas: Worry about your future later. Let’s take a moment and celebrate your homecoming. I got dinner reservations at the Metro Court. Mother, I hope you and Kevin will be able to join us.

Laura: I don’t know about Kevin, but I can certainly make it. Spencer, is everything okay?

Esme: Spence is just wondering why I’m still here. Don’t worry. I was just leaving.

Victor: Johann, my friend, if we want people to believe we’ve done nothing wrong, then we must act as if we’ve done nothing wrong — which we haven’t. I showed Drew a tarot card, for heaven’s sakes. If a crime was committed, it was when he attacked you.

Johann: On your orders.

Victor: Which was a test… which he passed — until the Corinthos woman showed up — forced him to reveal that he was just playing along and that the whole thing was a set-up right from the start. That, uh, warning that Eileen Ashby gave me about Laura being onto me seems like it has some merit.

Sam: Hi. Welcome back.

Drew: Long trip.

Anna: Yes. I got a cab from the airport, and Felicia is filling Maxie in.

Sam: We were worried when we didn’t hear from you in Austria.

Anna: I didn’t want to call from an unsecure line.

Drew: Does that mean that you and Felicia found something out?

Anna: Yeah — proof that Luke’s death was no accident. He was murdered.

Esme: Unfortunately, I won’t be joining you all for dinner. Spence has made it clear he no longer considers me a part of his life. I’m leaving.

Laura: I– would — would you two like a little time to talk this through? I mean, you don’t have to rush on our account.

Nikolas: I apologize for springing dinner plans without checking with you first, but, Esme, I’m sure Spencer wouldn’t mind if you join us. We all shared in Spencer’s ordeal at Spring Ridge — you, especially.

Esme: I’m not sure.

Laura: Please, come along.

Nikolas: The whole family will be there — Ava and Victor.

Laura: Victor?

Nikolas: Is that a problem?

Johann: The plan you put together relies on taking everyone by surprise.

Victor: I’m not overly concerned. The only possibly damning thing I mentioned was operation Demeter, and if Drew has no memory of that op, then he and Laura are gonna hit a dead end.

Johann: But you are concerned about something.

Victor: Anna and Felicia’s investigation into the cable car accident that killed Luke.

Johann: [ Whispering ] You had to kill Luke Spencer. He was getting too close to the truth about what you were planning.

Victor: Well, nothing can be traced back to me, which is why I need to find someone else to take the fall for Luke’s death.

Johann: I’ll do a lot for the cause. But I hope you’re not expecting me to be your fall guy.

Victor: Don’t worry. I have someone else in mind.

Ava: Hi. So, am I, uh, late for the big family dinner, or are you early? And is your friend here gonna be joining us?

Anna: So, this employee at the Transportation Bureau — he did admit to sabotaging Luke’s cable car. And there’s no indication as to whether he was acting alone, but my gut says that he wasn’t. And unfortunately, before we could get any more information out of him… the man took his own life in front of us.

Sam: Okay, so, technically, we have one man’s confession, but no evidence to back it up.

Anna: Right, so far. And all of our efforts to try to keep this quiet have just failed. Plus, now the Bureau is officially involved.

Drew: Well, wait — won’t the Bureau have a better chance of finding a connection between Victor and Luke’s death?

Anna: Just because the WSB is investigating doesn’t mean that I will be privy to their intel, because I have been deemed “too close” to the situation because of my history with Luke.

Drew: Hmm.

Sam: Basically, you were iced out.

Anna: Yeah. But we do have to keep in mind the fact that Victor was the director of the WSB for a time. That is a lapse they do not want to revisit. They don’t want his name to come up. They don’t want to draw any scrutiny. So I think it’s possible they will steer this investigation down a path that proves not to be embarrassing to them. So, you see, what I’m saying is, if we want to expose Victor, you really are our best chance.

Drew: Yeah, about that — um… we hit a little bit of a snag.

Curtis: So, what has TJ told you about our situation with Marshall?

Jordan: Your father? Not much. I think TJ’s been avoiding the subject, considering my history with Tommy.

Curtis: Okay. What did Tommy tell you about our father?

Willow: How awful was the night in jail?

Michael: Mm, I mean, I got a cell to myself, so no complaints.

Willow: You don’t have to be a hero for me.

Michael: Well, “A,” I’ll always want to be a hero to you, and, “B,” honestly, spending the night in jail was, uh — was worth it, because that reporter got what he deserved for trash-talking my sister.

Willow: At least you didn’t break his jaw.

Michael: Uh, yeah, but I can’t be sorry that I hit the guy. But…I am sorry that Nina is probably gonna use this against me now when she petitions the court for visitation with Wiley.

Willow: Uh, let’s not worry about that right now. I’m — I’m so sorry I wasn’t here when you were booked.

Michael: It’s okay. I appreciate that. But there’s nothing you could have done. Diane — she handled everything. But, hey, you’re here now. I, uh, heard from my mom that you were held up at work…?

Willow: That’s what I told Carly when she texted me, but I wasn’t being honest with her. Or with you.

Harmony: Nina’s trying to enlist my help to see Wiley without going to court.

Alexis: How?

Harmony: She wants me to influence Willow. And she says Wiley’s grandfather is on her side.

Alexis: But you don’t want to get involved?

Harmony: I just — it could cause so much tension between me and my daughter.

Alexis: Okay, I don’t want to get involved e-either, because Wiley is Kristina’s nephew, so I want to stay out of any potential conflict between Nina and Willow. And I suggest that you do the same thing.

Harmony: [ Sighs ] I wish it was that simple.

Nina: Actually, I’ll have a club soda.

Sonny: [ Chuckling ] Okay. Uh… all right. Get you a little glass here.

Nina: [ Chuckles ] Thank you. Perfect.

Sonny: All right. Now that that’s taken care of… how about the help? Or not — I mean, you don’t have to say that.

Nina: No, sonny, it’s not that I don’t want your help. It’s just I don’t think that you should offer it.

Sonny: It this about Wiley? You talked to y– the lawyer. You’re gonna file a petition?

Nina: Well, I haven’t talked to him yet. Have you tried to talk to Michael again?

Michael: You want Josslyn to rely on you, right?

Sonny: Of course I do. Why wouldn’t I, Michael?

Michael: Why the hell would she when you prioritized Nina?

Sonny: Oh, that’s not what happened. How many times do I got to —

Michael: that’s exactly what happened. Look, dad, you claim to be a family man, right? But a family man wouldn’t sabotage his wife and kids to protect the woman who blew their lives apart.

Sonny: You done?! What do you want from me?!

Sonny: [ Breathes sharply ] Uh, y-y-you know, um… I couldn’t — I-I couldn’t get in any word with Michael ’cause he’s — he’s very stubborn.

Nina: Yeah, well, I wish I could walk away from this for your sake, sonny, but —

Sonny: No, hey, you’re allowed to see your grandson. And, uh, I’d do the same… if I were in your shoes.

Nina: Yeah. I’ll try not to get you involved.

Sonny: No, I’m — Nina, I’m already involved. You know, look, the — the… the choices you make, your family’s pain, your pain… it matters to me.

Sonny: But you gotta know, if you — I-if you go to court on this and, uh, lines are gonna be drawn, sides are gonna be taken. And if I don’t take a side, that means I’m taking your side.

Nina: Well, Sonny, I would never, ever ask you to choose me over your son. No. I wouldn’t do that.

Sonny: Right.

Nina: So if you have to go against me in court and support Michael’s attempt to block my petition, then I’ll understand that.

Sonny: [ Sighs ] Right, l-l-let’s just — can we just hope it doesn’t get to that?

Nina: Yeah, we can hope. But you need to know this — that I will do whatever’s necessary to ensure that I have a role in my grandson’s life.

Anna: So, let me get this straight — in trying to save you…

Sam: Carly blew the scam wide open.

Anna: Oh, no.

Drew: Yeah, but we did — did get one piece of intel before Carly arrived.

Sam: Victor mentioned operation Demeter.

Anna: I don’t know what that is. I mean, what is she, the goddess of harvest? She presides over the cycles of life and death.

Sam: Wait, so I-I-is it not familiar to you?

Anna: No, no. “Operation Demeter.” Uh, but I can access the WSB files.

Drew: Well, a lot of the ops that I did when I was a seal are classified.

Anna: Okay, did you reach out to Kim? She was the only one that knew you back then.

Drew: Yeah, she doesn’t remember me ever mentioning it.

Anna: I don’t see an operation Demeter here. No, uh, there’s nothing here in the files.

Sam: Uh-huh, so the operation probably originated with U.S. Intelligence.

Anna: Or it’s above my clearance, which is entirely possible. Or the operation went so horribly wrong that they’ve deleted all records.

Victor: Johann and I were catching up on some business while I was waiting for the rest of the family to arrive.

Ava: Mm.

Victor: I, uh — I think that about covers it, Johann. So, um, thank you, and I’ll, um — I’ll get in touch.

Johann: Uh…

Ava: Oh. Thank you very much. [ Sighs ] You must have had some super pressing business to have a meeting here at the Metro Court before our family dinner.

Victor: Uh, pressing? Yes. As important as family? Never.

Ava: Well, I completely agree. Though, you know, I can’t seem to recall what you said that you were doing for work these days.

Victor: Perhaps that’s because I never told you. Why do I get a feeling you’re playing me because you want something?

Ava: Because, Victor, I always want something. And I usually get it.

Laura: Well, I think you both know that Victor’s not my favorite person.

Nikolas: Mother, I hope you’ll still join us. Wouldn’t be a family celebration without you.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Laura: Excuse me. Oh. Oh, dear. Um — boy, I completely forgot. It’s the chairperson from the traffic commission reminding me that we have a meeting in ten minutes. Oh, dear. You know, it’s been rescheduled so many times that I don’t feel that I can cancel. Could I just meet you over at the metro court? Okay, thanks. Welcome back, sweetheart.

Spencer: Thanks. See you.

Laura: See you.

[ Door closes ]

[ Keys jingling ]

Spencer: Uh, father, Esme and I have some things that we need to say to each other first.

Nikolas: Of course.

Spencer: In private.

Nikolas: Okay. You’ll still join us for dinner? I’ll hope for the best. Esme.

Esme: I was hoping to be gone before you returned, but your grandmother almost convinced me that we could talk things out.

Spencer: Really?

Esme: Yeah. I mean, you saw her earlier. Apparently, Laura’s warming up to me.

Spencer: When did that happen?

Esme: She thinks I might actually be a good influence on you. Unlike what your friends think.

Jordan: Tommy was only a couple years older than you. His memories of your father were vague. He — he rarely mentioned him.

Curtis: Maybe he remembered something that he didn’t think was important at the time.

Jordan: If he did, he never shared it with me. Besides, Tommy was far too young for Marshall to confide in him about entering Witness Protection.

Curtis: If that’s what really happened. [ Sighs ]

Jordan: What are you saying?

Curtis: Marshall didn’t outright say that he was in witness protection. I inferred, and he didn’t deny it.

Jordan: Did you learn something that contradicts that?

Curtis: Possibly, and that’s why I need your help to shed some light on it.

Jordan: How?

Curtis: Marshall applied for a job, and, uh, he confided in me that he had an arrest record. A sealed arrest record, which might explain why he disappeared and let us believe that he was dead. But you have access to that record. You could unseal it and let me know anything important that Marshall might be keeping from me.

Jordan: I’m sorry, Curtis. There is no way.

Nina: I say we take a vote. How about this? We stop talking about Wiley, we stop talking about court petitions, and we stop talking about family feuds.

Sonny: I second that motion.

Nina: Good.

Sonny: Cheers.

Nina: Cheers.

🎵Every now and then

Sonny: you want some more club soda? Because I —

Nina: Oh, no, I-I better not. I’ve got to drive later.

Sonny [ Chuckling ] Uh-huh. Okay.

Nina: So, did you refill those decanters at your penthouse?

Sonny: No.

Nina: Right, and you’re not tempted by all the displays, all the bottles here?

Sonny: Uh, baby steps.

Nina: Well, those baby steps are pretty big. I’m proud of you.

Sonny: You know, it’s not going to be easy. I mean, right? But the — the — the plan was to let Phyllis have the bar, right?

Nina: Right. But life gets complicated. So do you still want to follow through on that plan?

Sonny: Well, I’m just trying to convince her that — that it — it’s her bar.

Nina: Yeah, I don’t think it’s gonna take a lot of persuasion, because — think about it — Phyllis owning the local watering hole? Just — it’ll feel like old times. Well, almost.

Sonny: You mean like when we were back in Nixon Falls?

🎵All of the things that were weighing you down

Sonny: That was our home.

Nina: Yeah, that life seemed real. But it wasn’t… because you didn’t know the truth about yourself. Now everyone knows the truth, right, Sonny? And it’s up to you and I to decide what’s real.

Willow: Oh, it’s — it’s nothing serious… but I fainted in an empty patient room.

Michael: Willow, you fainted? Why? Are you sick? Why didn’t you tell me sooner?

Willow: Like I said, it wasn’t serious. Okay, I hadn’t eaten all day, so I was dehydrated. Between parenting Wiley and studying for my nursing exams, I-I was wearing myself thin. But Epiphany took good care of me.

Michael: Okay, well, I have to thank her, but I just — [ Sighs ] I wish you would have told me sooner.

Willow: You were spending the night in a cell. I didn’t want you worrying about me. It’s not like you could do anything about it. And I lied to Carly because she’s busy dealing with Josslyn. She didn’t need to worry about me, too.

Michael: I hate that you were alone. I mean, that — Epiphany’s great, but she was on duty. She — she couldn’t stay with you.

Willow: I wasn’t alone. My mom showed up for me.

Alexis: So what is so complicated about you staying out of Willow and Nina’s business?

Harmony: Well, things are… [ Clears throat ] Always complicated when it comes to my grandson. Thank you for the advice about Nina. I’m going to go. I’m going to let you go back to work and get out of your hair.

Alexis: Is there anything else you wanted to talk to me about?

Harmony: No. Um, is Shawn around, though? I’d really like to avoid him.

Alexis: I don’t think that’s going to be a problem because Shawn went to San Francisco, and I really don’t know when he’s coming back.

Harmony: Oh, Alexis, are you okay about that?

Alexis: Things got a little tense between us before he left.

Curtis: Hold up. You’re not going to help me?

Jordan: Hunting down sealed records and then unsealing them without a court order — that’s illegal, Curtis. You were in law enforcement. You know that as well as I do.

Curtis: The man is lying to TJ and me. I have questions. I need answers, and you have the ability to get them.

Jordan: Unethically.

Curtis: When has that ever stopped you?

Jordan: [ Scoffs ]

Curtis: You didn’t think twice about getting Laura’s sealed arrest records for Cyrus Renault.

Jordan: That’s not the same. I was being blackmailed. TJ’s life was at stake. I had no choice.

Curtis: Right. Because TJ’s family. And you and I are not that to each other anymore. Is that how it is?

🎵Moment you’re living

Nina: Are those 45s? What are they doing here?

Sonny: What? Oh, Phyllis, she, uh… She wants to add a vintage jukebox to the place, but then she figured out that it would block the customers’ path to the tables, to the bar.

Nina: Oh. Oh, well, that’s too bad.

Sonny: Yeah.

Nina: I loved it when we played music at The Tan-O.

Sonny: [ Laughs ]

Nina: [ Gasps ] Oh. I remember when we danced to this song.

Sonny: Yeah.

Nina: Oh, my goodness! I cannot believe she has a copy of this. This is a great song. I totally forgot about it. Wait. I know how it goes. I goes, um… Something like… [ Singing ] I woke up in the morning [ Hums ]

Sonny: You want to–

Nina: Or, no, it’s a slower thing.

Sonny: No, but it’s–

Nina: [ Singing ] I woke up in the morn–

Sonny: It was—You’re doing good, but it’s not quite like that.

Nina: [ Singing ] I woke up in the morning…

Sonny: Let me show you something.

Nina: [ Singing ] I woke up in… The morning…

Sonny: Look

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

Nina: Oh, yeah. I love this song.

🎵

Nina: I wish we could have danced to it.

🎵 When I wake up in the morning

Sonny: We still can.

🎵 And the sun shines in my eyes

Sonny: [ Hums ]

🎵 Oh, I can’t help but think of you / You’re like a drug in my life

[ Both laughing ]

🎵 Addicted to how you feel / Oh, it ain’t easy, no / To sleep alone without you here / To be honest, I wasn’t ready / Oh, we were a great…

Jordan: You’re not being fair.

Curtis: What’s not fair is that you won’t do this for me after everything you put me through.

Jordan: I know you’re going through a lot right now, and I know we have a lot of unresolved issues from our marriage, but do not conflate the two, and do not, under any circumstances, come in here and tell me how to do my job or what code I can or cannot live by.

Curtis: Jordan —

Jordan: Let me finish. I thought we were in a good place, but you’ve come way too close to destroying all that goodwill we built up. I’m not the bad guy here.

Curtis: So you really won’t look at those records for me?

Jordan: [ Scoffs ] Have you not heard a single word I said? I can’t. I’m willing to help you in any other way I can.

Curtis: You know what? Don’t even bother.

Jordan: Curtis!

Laura: I’m due to have dinner with Victor Cassadine and family. Would it be too much to hope that you found something that can put him behind bars?

Anna: Uh, Felicia and I, we were able to access the file room at the Transportation Bureau in Innsbruck. And a certain, um, Kurt Markovic, an employee there — he became suspicious of us, but, eventually, he — he did admit to sabotaging Luke’s cable car.

Laura: [ Breathes sharply ] It was not an accident… He was murdered. [ Sighs ]

Sam: I’m so sorry you had to find out this way. I wish things could be different.

Laura: [ Sighs ]

Anna: I’m sorry, Laura. Yeah. T-the crash was deliberate. But — but I have to say that this Kurt, you know, he — he didn’t admit to targeting Luke. Um, and, unfortunately, we couldn’t get any more information out of him because he took his own life there.

Laura: [ Breathes sharply ] But we know that it was Luke. Don’t we?

Anna: Unless the Bureau find evidence to the contrary, they will proceed as if Luke was just… another victim that day.

Laura: Collateral damage? I — [ Scoffs ]

Anna: Yes, to Kurt’s fanatical cause.

Drew: Whatever that was.

Anna: So unfortunately, we are — we’re not able to connect… this crash and Luke to Victor.

Laura: Maybe not yet, but knowledge is power, and…we are off to a good start.

Ava: I suspect that whenever you reveal your big plan for the family, it’ll behoove me to remain in your good graces.

Victor: So your friendliness towards me has a more selfish motivation?

Ava: Mm. Victor, I think you know better than anybody that we all have selfish motivations. I’m just upfront about mine. Besides, Nikolas and I are married. You and I are — are family now. We’ll be in each other’s lives from now on. Shouldn’t that make us allies, able to enjoy each other’s company?

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Nikolas: Hello, beautiful.

Ava: Mm! Hello.

Nikolas: I hope you didn’t order without me.

Ava: Oh, no, of course not. But I was beginning to think you stood us up. Where’s Spencer?

Nikolas: Things are a little tense between him and Esme. [ Sighs ] Spencer wanted some time to talk to her.

Victor: Well, I hope they’re coming. I mean, this celebration is for Spencer.

Nikolas: Spencer wouldn’t make any promises.

Ava: I’m so sorry. I know how anxious you’ve been to make amends to him.

Nikolas: The reality is, Spencer and I have a long way to go before any healing takes place.

Victor: No, that is absolutely unacceptable.

Spencer: Hey, I’m glad that you didn’t leave before I returned home. We left a lot unsaid. In fairness, it’s not like I could have chased after you with 12 hours left on my sentence, Esme.

Esme: I didn’t like how we ended things, either. I mean, I tossed and turned all night, thinking you meant the horrible things you said to me — that you actually believed I was the one responsible for filming Joss and Cam doing the dirty. Thank you for realizing that wasn’t true.

Spencer: Wait a second. I never said that.

Esme: I-I’m a-a little confused. If you still don’t believe me, then what’s been left unsaid between us?

Spencer: I want to believe you. I want to believe in you, Esme. But right now, you are blaming Trina for something that I know that she couldn’t have done.

Esme: Oh, but I could?!

Spencer: I don’t know! What I do know is that you were at the cabin and that you have a side to you that is capable of going to extremes.

Esme: You mean, like what I did to Ava? Setting her car on fire? Putting her dead daughter’s hospital I.D. Badge beneath the car? I never even heard of Ava Jerome until you decided to frighten her away from your father. I mean, how do we know you’re not the one capable of filming your friends without their consent? You were at the cabin, too, but you don’t see me going around accusing you! How do we know that this isn’t all your doing?!

Nikolas: I’m sorry. I know you’re invested in healing the rift between Spencer and me, but it is going to take time.

Victor: No, you don’t understand. I gave you room to take this process as slowly as you needed to bring the family together. But I have trusted the wrong people, and now we’re running out of time. Now, Valentin and Alexis — they’ll most likely never want to have anything to do with me again, but the rest of the family must come together while they still can.

Nikolas: “While they still can”? What is that supposed to mean?

Harmony: Don’t pressure yourself, Alexis. You’re going to know when it’s time to move on.

Alexis: You know what I want to move on from is this office. And since I’m the boss, I can declare the workday over.

Harmony: Mm.

Alexis: So I declare the workday is over.

Harmony: [ Laughs ]

Alexis: So, um, Molly and TJ are making me a — a feast tonight…

Harmony: Mm.

Alexis: …To thank me for them staying with me.

Harmony: Aw, are they moving out?

Alexis: Yeah, they are.

Harmony: Mm.

Alexis: They found another place. I’m sad. I’ll miss them. But it’s — it’s good that they have their own space.

Harmony: Yeah. Must be nice to have a home-cooked meal.

Alexis: Mm-hmm.

Harmony: [ Laughs ] My motel room doesn’t have a kitchen, so…

Alexis: Ohh. Did you say “motel room”? You’re staying at a motel?

Harmony: [ Chuckles ]

Alexis: Since you left prison? That — that’s — that’s a — a year ago.

Harmony: Yeah, well, you know, it’s tough to save up for a deposit on what I make at Spring Ridge. [ Chuckles ]

Alexis: I’m sorry. W-would it help if someone co-signed a lease for you?

Harmony: What? The — someone like you?

Perez: I need commissioner Ashford to sign off on these before you can leave. Wait over there.

Michael: Thanks.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Michael: So, while we wait, why don’t you tell me about Harmony?

Willow: Well, my condition wasn’t serious, but when she heard I was in the hospital, she couldn’t get there fast enough.

Michael: Well, that’s what parents do — they move heaven and earth for their kids.

Willow: Easy for you to say. You know my history. My mom is a seeker, and her love for me always Came second place to…enlightenment.

Michael: And last night was different?

Willow: Yeah. It was like the mom I always hoped for showed up. You know, she was so loving and concerned.

Michael: That must have been really nice for you.

Willow: It was. It was the first time my mom put my needs ahead of her own or some spiritual leader’s. I’m — I’m grateful. Even if I don’t know what inspired this new Harmony.

🎵 Oh, it ain’t easy, no / to sleep alone / without you here

Nina: [ Laughs ]

🎵 To be honest, I wasn’t ready / we were a great piece of work / love, love, love /

love is in the air /

Nina: [ Gasps ] Oh!

🎵 And love, love, love

Nina: [ Chuckles ] [ Laughs ] Oh!

🎵 Love is everywhere

Nina: [ Gasps ]

🎵 But peace, peace, peace / and loyalty is needed / I really wasn’t trying to /

spend my better days

Nina: Ah. [ Chuckles ]

🎵 Without you by my side / I’m living life in a daze / to be honest, I wasn’t ready

Sonny: You gotta admit, I’m pretty good.

🎵 We were a great piece of work

Nina: Um, uh, I would give you an “A” for effort.

🎵 Love, love, love

Sonny: What about execution?

Nina: Well, you’re a little rusty, but don’t worry — I can whip you back into shape. We have all the time in the world.

🎵 And love, love, love

Nina: Except…

🎵 Love is everywhere

Nina: …that’s one thing that we don’t have.

🎵 And love, love, love / love is in the air

Alexis: Well, I’m not necessarily saying that it should be me, but –

Harmony: Yeah, good, because I feel like we’re crossing a line here.

Alexis: -Yeah. -[ Sighs ] Well, what if I give you just a — help you with a security deposit? You know, a-a-as a loan.

Harmony: Uh, you know what? I wouldn’t want to jeopardize our friendship by owing you money.

Alexis: [ Sighs ]

Harmony: [ Chuckles ]

Alexis: You know what? I have an empty house, and you need a home. So why don’t you just take the next few weeks, save up some money, and… you’ll — you’ll stay with me.

Harmony: [ Breathes sharply ]

Jordan: You’re good to go, Michael. Make sure you make your court date.

Michael: Understood.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Jordan: Excuse me. Commissioner Ashford.

Michael: [ Sighs ] You ready?

Willow: Yeah. Let’s go.

Michael: Hey, actually, um… look, I owe you a second apology. In addition to, you know, decking that reporter, I — I delayed our vacation.

Willow: Turnabout’s fair play — I delayed it first with the search for my birth certificate, and now you’re out on bail and have to stay in town until the assault charge is settled.

Michael: Will you, um, settle for a candlelit dinner instead?

Willow: With coq au vin, mousse de chocolat, and a lovely bordeaux? See, I already speak the language.

Michael: And you know what they say — we will always have Paris.

Jordan: The judge set a date for the trial. Diane Miller is gearing up for a fight, but there’s been no additional pressure from the Quartermaines or Sonny Corinthos. No special requests. Right. I’ll keep you posted, Robert.

Sonny: I-I-I — I don’t know. I gotta go.

Nina: Um, yeah. I have to get going, too. [ Chuckles ]

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

Curtis: Sonny.

Sonny: Yeah.

Curtis: Your office said I’d find you here. Did I come at a bad time?

Nina: No, no. No, I just — I Came to see Phyllis, and she’s not here, so I was just leaving.

Curtis: You sure?

Nina: Yeah, I’m positive. We’ll catch up soon, okay?

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

Curtis: [ Sighs ]

Sonny: What can I do for you?

Curtis: I need to ask you for a favor.

Spencer: Knock it off, Esme. I was in Spring Ridge when that video was released. I couldn’t have posted it.

Esme: But you told me you had means to sneak in and out of Spring Ridge, thanks to dear Uncle Victor, and you and Cam were enemies when you were kids. Maybe that sex tape was payback.

Spencer: That is not at all what —

Esme: Calm down. I don’t actually believe you did it. I was just making a point.

Spencer: Which is?

Spencer: You had motive and opportunity, but you don’t see me going around accusing you because I have faith in my partner’s character. I have faith in us — or at least I used to. But you can’t seem to extend that same grace to me, can you? Then I guess there’s nothing more we can say to one another.

Anna: Tracy and Bobbie will be informed that the crash was deliberate.

Sam: But should we tell them the truth?

Laura: I really would rather not do that. Bobbie already suspects that Luke was targeted. She does not know that Victor might be a part of this. Tracy’s in the Netherlands.

Drew: The less they know, the safer they are.

Laura: Exactly.

Drew: Especially because after that scam on the bridge, I mean, Victor now knows I’m coming for him.

Anna: Well, he’ll realize that the walls are closing in on him.

Laura: And anyone he suspects is working to expose him will be in grave danger now.

Victor: I apologize for my outburst. I — I suppose I was just airing my frustration with Valentin.

Nikolas: Because he doesn’t want you in his life?

Victor: Oh, don’t let an old fool project his problems onto your relationship with your son.

Nikolas: I don’t I think it’s just frustration with Valentin. This isn’t the first time that you’ve alluded that something has been eating you up, Uncle Victor.

Ava: Obviously, something important, maybe even dangerous, is — is happening soon.

Nikolas: You’ve made it clear that you couldn’t or — or you wouldn’t discuss it with us, but we are family.

Ava: We can help ease your burden. We — we can’t help you if you don’t share it with us.

Nikolas: Perhaps it’s time that you told us exactly what you’ve been planning since before you got back into town.

Nikolas: Maybe you’re right.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Josslyn (to Cam): What are you saying, that this is my fault now?

Dante (to Jordan): I don’t want this slipping through the cracks.

Esme (to Spencer): What else could you say? Because you’ve already broken my heart.

Victor: (to Nikolas): Question is: Do I have your support?

Portia (to Ava): Forgive me if I don’t find that to be a reason to celebrate.

Sonny (to Curtis): With all due respect, why is it your business?

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Days of Our Lives logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Gwen: Yes. Well, of course xander is concerned about sarah. I mean, everyone is. It’s– it’s really sad, isn’t it? What she went through and what she’s going through now? Me? [Sighs] Yes. Well, it certainly complicates things, but, um, I’m hanging in there. Looks like xander’s just come back with some treats.

[Mouths words] Um, yeah. I will. Dad, thank you for phoning. Yeah, we’ll talk soon. Bye.

[Cell phone beeps] What did you bring me?

Xander: The scones you love, of course. That was jack on the phone? Everything’s okay?

Gwen: Yeah, he’s just– he’s just a bit concerned about me now that sarah’s back.

[Sighs] He guessed correctly. I mean, things have been quite a struggle for me. And, um, he also said that he is going to be here for our wedding. That is, assuming you still want to get married.

[Elevator chimes]

Abigail: Aunt maggie?

Maggie: Oh, abigail! Oh, my goodness. Oh, it’s so good to see you, sweetheart.

Abigail: You, too. How’s sarah? Are there any changes?

Maggie: Unfortunately, no. I’m just waiting for kayla to go over her test results.

Abigail: I am so sorry for everything that you’re going through and everything that she’s going through. I just–I feel like it is all my fault.

Sarah: I don’t suppose I could trouble you to untie me?

Nurse: It’s against hospital policy.

Sarah: I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t important. I’m just–I’m so desperate to get ahold of my fiancé. And you wouldn’t be breaking any rules. All you’d have to do is dial and hold the phone for me. You look like a woman who knows what it’s like to be in love. Please. Won’t you help me?

Nurse: What’s the number?

Sarah: It’s been such a long time. I’m– do you have a white pages?

Nurse: A what?

Sarah: Uh, never mind. I think I still know it.

Anna: Oh, having a liquid lunch, I see.

Tony: I beg your pardon?

Anna: Well, I’ve been waiting for you in the dining room for the last 15 minutes. Harold made your favorite. Lobster newburg.

Tony: I’m not hungry.

Anna: Oh. Well, could it be that you’re still angry about the sarah thing and that you’re passive-aggressively paying me back?

Tony: How astute of you, anna. Yes. I’m still angry about the sarah thing, especially because you’re not sorry at all, are you?

Nicole: Hi.

Rafe: Hey.

Nicole: I just checked in with abe.

Rafe: How’s eli doing?

Nicole: Nothing’s changed. He’s still in a coma.

Rafe: Oh, my god. Poor lani. I mean, she doesn’t know when he’s gonna come out or if he’s even gonna come out. Oh, damn it. Him and lani–they don’t deserve this, you know?

Nicole: No, they don’T. But both of us know that bad things often happen to good people, and a lot of bad people get away with too much.

Rafe: Oh. I’m assuming this means there’s no news on ava.

Nicole: Nothing. It’s like she’s vanished into thin air.

Melinda: My office has just been informed that the jury’s verdict in the rafe hernandez case is imminent. The speed with which the decision has been made gives me every confidence that the verdict will be the correct one: Guilty.

Ava: Damn well better be.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Gwen: I asked you a question. Do you still want to marry me?

[Sighs] Bloody hell, xander. Please say something.

Xander: Gwen, come on. You know how much I love you.

Gwen: That is not an answer.

Xander: You’re right. It isn’t, and I’m sorry, but the truth is right now, I just–I don’t have one. I don’t see how I can make plans for the future until I know that sarah’s gonna be okay.

Gwen: And what happens then? What happens when she gets better, if she does?

Xander: I don’t know. Gwen, I’m sorry. I know that’s not what you want to hear, and I swear I’m not trying to hurt you. I just–I do not have a better answer for you right now. Look, I’ll be back later, okay?

Gwen: Where are you going?

Xander: The hospital.

[Dramatic music]

Maggie: Abigail, no. What happened to sarah was not your fault.

Abigail: No, but it is. If I hadn’t convinced gabi to dig up rolf’s drug, then the syringe–it never would have been in the secret room. And then kristen–she never would have used it on sarah.

Maggie: Well, then it was kristen’s fault. It was not yours. And besides, there’s one important detail that you’re leaving out in all of this.

Abigail: Which is?

Maggie: Which is if it weren’t for you, I would still believe that my daughter willingly left salem. Instead, she was actually being held prisoner.

Abigail: Oh. Well, I don’t know if I can really take credit for rescuing sarah. I mean, I only found her because I was hit over the head and then kidnapped to the same island where she was being held. It was just dumb luck that i happened to stumble across her.

Anna: I’m sorry. I must be hearing things. A crazy woman has verbally assaulted me repeatedly, and you want me to apologize for how I reacted?

Tony: Anna, she’s not crazy. She’s been traumatized, drugged.

Anna: [Scoffs] And that excuses her behavior?

Tony: Perhaps not, but what excuses yours?

[Phone rings]

Anna: Answer your phone.

Tony: I don’t have my phone.

Anna: Well, neither do I.

Tony: Well, it’s probably the land line.

Anna: Oh, we never get anything but robocalls on that line. No worries. I’ll get it. Hello. This is anna dimera.

Sarah: Ugh, god. The way that you say that.

[Nasally] “Anna dimera.” You just love using my fiancé’s name, don’t you? Let me tell you something, anna fredericks. You might think that I have been sidelined, but it won’t be long until I am home where I belong and you are where you belong. On the street!

Anna: It’s for you. It’s my 3:10, no-exit-in-sight,

Rafe: How does someone just walk out of the pd and vanish?

Nicole: With a little help, obviously.

Rafe: Yeah, exactly. And unless we find out who helped ava or find ava herself, there’s no way that I can prove she set me up. Which is obviously what she wants. So looks like she’s gonna get her revenge.

[Cell phone rings]

Gwen: Hello?

Ava: Hey, it’s me.

Gwen: Ava, you shouldn’t be phoning me.

Ava: Yeah, relax. It’s a burner phone and no one can track me.

Gwen: Well, there’s something to be thankful for.

Ava: Oh, I got a lot to be thankful for.

Gwen: You’re in a good mood.

Ava: Well, yeah. Are you not watching tv? Da trask just announced that the jury’s gonna be back any minute, and when they hang that guilty verdict around rafe’s neck… his little fairytale life with nicole’s gonna go up in smoke.

Gwen: Not to mention the several years he’s going to spend behind bars.

Ava: Yeah. That, too. That bastard’s finally gonna get what’s coming to him.

Maggie: Dumb luck had nothing to do with you finding sarah. It was your tenacity and your courage that brought her home, and I will be eternally grateful to you for that.

Kayla: Maggie, I’m so glad you’re here. Hi, abigail.

Abigail: Aunt kayla.

Maggie: Do you have sarah’s test results?

Kayla: Yes, I do.

Maggie: And?

Kayla: It’s not good news. I’m sorry.

Tony: Hello.

Sarah: Oh, tony! Oh, thank god. It’s me.

Tony: Oh, sarah–renee.

Sarah: Yes it is, my darling. Oh, you have to come and get me right now. You would not believe the indignities that I have suffered. They have me tied to the bed.

Tony: Tied to the–

Sarah: I’m going crazy without you. And for us to be reunited after all that time and then torn apart– it’s sheer torture. And all I want to be is in your arms, my precious tony. The love of my life. My asthma felt anything but normal.

Nicole: Okay. Hey, rafe. Rafe, listen to me, okay? You cannot give up. We don’t even know what the jury’s gonna decide.

Rafe: Okay, yeah, but those cons’ testimonies were pretty convincing, and you know, trask certainly made the most of it, you know? It doesn’t help that she has an axe to grind.

Nicole: No. That was partly my fault. I mean, how stupid was it to pose as a reporter to try to get that con hutchins to admit that he was lying?

Rafe: Well, look, you were just trying to help.

Nicole: Yeah, but all I did was fire up trask to go after you even harder. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry about that.

Rafe: Hey, listen to me, okay? I do not care what happened with that damn witness. The only thing that I care about and the only thing that matters to me is that you have been there for me every step of the way ever since all this crap went down, okay? I’m so grateful for that.

Melinda: Oh. Sorry to interrupt this touching moment, but I thought you’d want to know that the verdict is in.

Ava: Mm, yes, it is very satisfying that my plan worked out quite brilliantly.

Gwen: Well, hurrah for you. You screwed over your boyfriend.

Ava: Who screwed me over first.

Gwen: Except for the getting sent to jail part.

Ava: What has gotten you in such a foul mood, hmm, debbie downer? I mean, is it sarah? Oh, god. Did she come home and run straight into xander’s arms?

Gwen: Let’s just say it wasn’t quite the reunion that he expected.

Sarah: What are you doing? Why did you hang up? Tony didn’t get a chance to respond to my request! Well, he’s probably on his way to rescue me. And what do you want, alex? Did you come to sign the divorce papers? No, no, no. You wouldn’t make it that easy on me now, would you?

Xander: It’s not alex. It’s xander.

Sarah: Oh, god. Here we go with the strange nickname.

Xander: How you doing?

[Rattling]

Sarah: How do you think? Might as well be in a cage.

Xander: I’m sorry. I do hate seeing you tied up like this.

Sarah: Do you really mean that?

Xander: I do.

Sarah: Then why don’t you untie me?

Kayla: This is sarah’s most recent brain scan. The drug affected this area here which controls your long-term memory.

Maggie: Well, I’m– there must be something that you can do to reverse that damage. I mean, abigail got the same drug, and she’s recovered.

Kayla: True, but I compared these results to a scan that we took of abigail right after her exposure, and the damage to sarah’s brain is far more extensive.

Maggie: Well, why would that be?

Abigail: Is it because of how the drug was administered?

Kayla: Well, that’s part of it. Abigail, you ingested the drug orally in a glass of champagne, so the liquid diluted the drug and mitigated its impact. Sarah, on the other hand, was injected with a full syringe of a larger dose that was concentrated, so I’m afraid the damage to her brain is far more severe.

Maggie: Kayla, what are you saying? Are you saying my daughter’s never gonna recover?

Is now a good time

for a flare-up?

Kayla: I think it’s too early to make any definitive prognosis to predict to what degree sarah will recover or what the timeframe will be. Right now, we are just trying to come up with an effective treatment. I do think that our best option right now, though, is to transfer her to bayview.

Maggie: Bayview? An institution?

Abigail: Isn’t there something more that you can do for her here at the hospital?

Kayla: We’re working on that, and we will know more when we get the report from the specialist who’s gonna study the scan. But in the meantime, I think keeping her here against her will is not doing her any good.

Maggie: But I don’t understand. Why would she be better off in an institution?

Kayla: Well, you have power of attorney over sarah’s medical decisions, so what happens next is really up to you. As long as sarah is not a danger to herself or anybody else, you get to decide where she’s treated.

Maggie: Well, then I think the best medicine for my daughter would be for me to take her home.

Xander: I don’t think that untying you is a very good idea right now.

Sarah: ‘Cause you just love seeing me this way, don’t you?

Xander: No, I don’t love it. I hate it. It makes me very sad.

Sarah: Yeah, well, I’m even sadder just watching you stand there and stare at me, as if I needed more proof that you don’t give a damn about me.

Maggie: Xander. What are you doing here?

Sarah: God’s sakes! She calls you that, too?

Xander: I just wanted to see how renee is doing.

Sarah: His name is alex, and as you both can see, I’m doing great. Just on top of the world.

Maggie: Kayla has her test results. I’ve given permission for her to share that information with you. She’s at the nurse’s station.

Xander: Thank you, maggie. Look, I am so sorry for what you’re going through.

Sarah: I should have known he’d be no help. And you can go ahead and follow him out that door.

Maggie: I know you’re angry with me for signing those papers, and I’m sorry that you are so upset.

Sarah: You think?

Maggie: But you’re being released.

Sarah: [Gasps] Thank god!

Maggie: I came here to take you home.

Sarah: Home where? Not your home.

Maggie: Yes, my home. And yours.

Sarah: Sorry. No. The only place that I am going when I get out of this torture chamber is to tony, the man that I love. And if I cannot be with him, I will lose my mind.

Anna: Well, what did “renee” want?

Tony: For me to get her out of the hospital.

Anna: [Chuckles] And why not? You’ve been acting like her lapdog. Why not her getaway driver, too? You didn’t agree to it, did you?

Tony: She hung up before I could respond.

Anna: Well, please don’t tell me she’s made a break for it.

Tony: She’s in restraints.

Anna: Well, thank heavens for small favors. Well, now that we know she’s all safely trussed up, I believe you and I have a date with a plate of lobster newburg.

Tony: Not so fast. I believe you were to apologize first.

Ava: So you’re telling me that sarah is in la-la land, and she thinks that she is some woman named renee dupree?

Gwen: Dumonde. And she thinks that xander is some bloke named alex something-or-other from whom she wants a divorce from. She thinks he’s some lowlife gold digger apparently.

Ava: [Chuckles] So she hates xander aka alex something-or-other, and that is a good thing, right?

Gwen: Yeah. You would think. Xander just won’t let it go. Sarah is all that he talks about. I mean, he couldn’t get out of this bloody hotel room fast enough to go see her at the hospital. He thinks that they can bring her back to reality. Considering the fact that abigail recovered from the concoction that I put in her champagne, I have every reason to believe that sarah will, too.

Ava: Okay. Xander loves you, gwen. He’s engaged to you.

Gwen: Yeah, but he was also engaged to sarah once. And as my lovely sister was so eager to point out to me, the only reason that he’s with me is because he thought that he’d lost her. And what if she does snap out of it? What becomes of me then?

Ava: Yeah, well, I wish I could tell you, but chin up, right? Whoa. Well, here it is.

Gwen: Here what is?

Ava: The verdict’s in. I gotta go.

[Suspenseful music]

Rafe: Hey. Well, this is it, huh? Moment of truth. Migraine attacks?

Rafe: Okay. Better get in there, you know, in case my lawyer has any last-minute words of advice.

Melinda: What are you waiting for? You don’t want to miss it, do you?

Nicole: Whatever happens, I am on your side. Always.

Rafe: I know. Okay.

Nicole: Yeah.

Xander: I don’t get it. Abigail made a complete recovery, and now she’s living a full and normal life. What, you’re just giving up on sarah?

Kayla: No. No one is giving up on sarah. As I said to maggie, the damage to sarah’s brain is more severe than abigail’s was, so the treatment is undoubtably gonna be longer.

Xander: Be longer? Abigail was out for months.

Kayla: Well, with sarah, it could be a year or years.

Xander: Or it could be forever.

Kayla: Let’s not put that kind of timetable on it, okay? Not at this point.

Xander: So thanks to whatever was in that syringe, sarah may never be herself again? Is that what you’re saying?

Anna: That woman just called here hurling outrageous insults at me, then begged my husband, with whom she’s madly in love, to spring her from the hospital. And you still expect an apology from me?

Maggie: Hello. I’m sorry to interrupt. Harold let me in.

Tony: Oh, no, no. Maggie, hello. How’s sarah doing?

Maggie: Her test results came back, and I’m afraid the news is not very good.

Anna: Oh, don’t tell me. We’re going to be stuck forever with the reincarnation of that horrible renee dumonde?

[Sighs] I’m sorry, maggie. That was very insensitive of me. What’s happened to your daughter, it’s tragic. I know that. I can’t even imagine how worried you must be.

Maggie: Yes. I am.

Anna: And believe me, I thought sarah was a lovely young woman.

Tony: Well, don’t talk about her as if she’s in the past. She’s still very much alive, anna.

Anna: I know that. I just want maggie to understand that it’s not sarah that I hate. It’s that horrible witch, renee dumonde.

Tony: Sorry, um– please tell us what’s going on.

Maggie: Well, like I said, it’s not good. The damage to sarah’s brain is severe, and kayla is working on a treatment plan. But in the meantime, sarah is being discharged.

Anna: Well, that’s a relief, at least, right? I mean, you must be looking forward to having her home.

Maggie: I am. Except sarah refuses to come home with me. She considers this her home, and she only wants to be here. With you, tony.

Anna: No. No, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no–I mean… uh, that is–it’s a terrible, sad thing that sarah doesn’t want to come home with her own mother, but I’m sure you can understand, maggie, that tony and I can’t possibly entertain your request.

Tony: Damn it, anna. Could you not speak for me?

Anna: Don’t tell me you think this is a good idea, tony. My god.

Maggie: Tony, anna, there’s no need to argue about this, please. I wasn’t going to come here and ask either one of you if sarah could stay here. I know it’s not a viable solution.

Anna: Well, thank you. Then why did you come by?

Maggie: Well, I know it’s also not a great way to solve this problem. It would be a terrible imposition. But I am admittedly somewhat desperate.

Tony: Well, that’s understandable.

Maggie: And it’s all I can come up with for now, okay? So please feel free to say “no” and tell me if it’s an outrageous, unfair request.

Tony: Well, what is it, maggie? Tell us. What did you come up with?

Maggie: Tony, I was hoping that you would move in with us.

Abigail: Here you go.

Kayla: Thank you.

Abigail: Yeah, sorry. I didn’t think to bring you one.

Xander: Oh, it’s okay. You’ve already done enough.

Abigail: Excuse me?

Xander: Have you seen sarah today? She’s strapped down in a bed begging to be free, all because of your wayward syringe.

Kayla: Xander, don’T.

Abigail: Oh, no. It’s okay. I can handle it. Look, I am so sorry for everything that’s happened to my cousin, sarah. You have no idea how sorry, but I never would have known about the drug if gwen hadn’t used it on me first.

Xander: Don’t you dare blame this on gwen. It’s only because of your twisted revenge scheme on her that any of this happened. That drug never would have damaged sarah’s brain if you hadn’t been so determined to get back at gwen in the most savage way imaginable.

Abigail: Wait a minute. Gwen, dr. Rolf created the drug.

Xander: What’s your point? So what?

Abigail: Well, maybe he could create an antidote.

Anna: You want tony to live with you?

Maggie: I know it’s unorthodox, and it’s a terrible imposition, but tony, sarah is so fixated on you. And being in your presence is the only thing that seems to keep her calm.

Anna: So you want to use my husband as some sort of what? Therapy animal?

Tony: Anna!

Maggie: Anna, I’m sorry. I know this would affect you, too, but I just thought if tony agreed to it that you and he–you would be together a lot of the time, because I mean, he wouldn’t– he would only be with us for the evenings, and you know, whatever. The only alternative… is that I would have to commit sarah, and I can’T. I can’t do that to my daughter.

Tony: No. She’s been through enough already.

Anna: Haven’t we all.

Maggie: Look, I know what I’m asking is a tremendous favor to you both, but it would just be for a short time. Until the doctors can figure out the proper course of treatment. I honestly think that it’s the only way that– that sarah would agree to come home with me. Oh, god. I don’t know what else to do. I’m so worried about sarah. Please, tony, will you help my daughter?

Rafe: I can’t believe it.

Nicole: [Laughs] I can. I mean, the jurors could tell that you were being framed, and they can tell that you are a good and decent guy. And now, you’re a free man!

Rafe: Yeah, you know. Oh! We’re going home. See, I like the sound of that.

Nicole: Yeah. Yeah, and now, you can focus on putting the real bad guys behind bars.

Melinda: Would that include you, nicole?

Nicole: Me?

Melinda: Yeah. A little thing called witness tampering. I could still charge you with it.

Nicole: In a case where all the witnesses were lying? Go ahead. Try it.

Melinda: I wouldn’t be so smug if I were you. It has a way of coming back and biting you.

[Both chuckle]

Nicole: Wow. Some people just don’t know how to lose gracefully. Ah!

Rafe: Love you so much.

Nicole: [Laughs] Oh, my gosh.

Ava: Not guilty. No. No! No, this can’t be happening! No! No! No!

Sarah: What are you doing back here? I told you that I’m not going anywhere with you.

Maggie: Well, I’ve got good news for you.

Sarah: The only good news that I want to hear is that I’m going home to tony.

Maggie: Well, I’m afraid I’m not gonna be taking you to the dimera mansion.

Sarah: Then get out!

Maggie: Will you listen to me? I spoke to tony and I explained the situation and you’re still gonna be coming to live with me. But tony has agreed to live with us as well.

Anna: So much for our lobster.

Tony: I know this is difficult, anna.

Anna: Difficult? Try infuriating, horrifying, and mind-boggling.

Tony: How about trying to help a woman whose daughter survived a terrible trauma and rendered mentally ill? A woman who recently lost another daughter. I’m doing this for maggie.

Anna: Okay. You don’t have to yell.

Tony: Damn it. It’s only going to be temporary.

Anna: Right, and it would only be temporary to send sarah off to an institution where, instead of having her mother there to coddle her or you there to feed her delusions that you are the love of her live, there are doctors there trained to deal with mental illness.

Tony: Yes, but you heard what kayla said to maggie. That the institution can no longer take care of sarah, ’cause her condition is rare and complicated. You saw what happened when I had to drag her out of here just for simple medical tests. Can you imagine her reaction if she had to be institutionalized?

Anna: [Groans] It’s just not fair, tony. Asking you to do this? Asking us to do this? It’s too much.

Tony: Sweetheart. What if this was carrie… not knowing that you were her mother, believing she was some woman who died almost 40 years ago. Her recollection of her real life. Wouldn’t you move heaven and earth just to help her? I know you would. As difficult as this is and as infuriating and horrifying and mind-boggling, put yourself in maggie’s place. Can you do that for me? Please?

Kayla: I have been so busy, I didn’t even think of that.

Abigail: Well, it might not really be that great of an idea. We’re talking about the very eccentric, if not deranged wilhelm rolf here. He might not really be that interested in helping us find an antidote for somebody he doesn’t really give a damn about.

Kayla: Well, can you think of anybody that might be able to get through to him?

Abigail: He’s got a soft spot for chad. I can talk to him about it. Of course, he kind of has his hands full, because he’s getting ready to seduce leo stark.

Kayla: [Groans softly]

Xander: So because sarah got such a concentrated dose of the drug, kayla can’t tell how long it’ll take for her to recover if she ever will.

Gwen: That’s really tragic. How sad.

Xander: Well, there might be a bright side.

Gwen: Really?

Xander: Yeah, credit due to abigail. Yeah, despite your sister’s role in this whole debacle, she does seem to have come up with a possible solution.

Gwen: What’s that?

Xander: Rolf himself.

Gwen: Rolf?

Xander: Yeah. I mean, he invented the drug. Maybe he can come up with the antidote to counteract it.

Gwen: [Sighs] Yeah, well, I suppose that is possible.

Xander: I’m not gonna wait to find out. I’m going to statesville to talk to him. I was hoping you’d come with me.

Rafe: No, gabi. Of course seeing arianna off is way more important. Give her a kiss from uncle rafe for me, will you? Okay. No, we will celebrate the minute you get back. I promise. I love you, too, sis. Okay. Bye. Ah.

Nicole: I’d make a toast, but I think it’s pretty obvious what we’re celebrating.

Rafe: Yes, it is. You know, the last time we were here in this kitchen, when I was arrested, you know, I had asked you what you thought about starting a relationship. And, uh, you never really answered me.

Nicole: Well, there was a lot going on.

Rafe: True. Yep. Yeah. But now, here we are. Now, we’re back in the kitchen, so may I ask you again? What do you think about you and me?

[Soft dramatic music]

Ava: Hmm. How adorable.

Traci: And I think there’ll be room in the box for two of these chocolate chip muffins, please. Thanks so much.

Billy: A whole box of jack’s favorites? You are spoiling him.

Traci: I never hear you complain when you’re the one I’m spoiling.

Billy: I’m not gonna complain about pastries. Are you kidding me? In fact, I’m gonna have a couple of those because I plan to go up to the house and see jack after this.

Traci: Oh, that’s perfect. Then there’ll be plenty. Don’t worry. It’s great that you’re gonna go by the house. Jack’s dying to tell you about his trip to los angeles.

Billy: What’s going on? I mean, last thing I heard is there were a bunch of letters that keemo never sent to him, but I haven’t heard anything since.

Traci: Uh…well, it really is jack’s story to tell, but i can say this. He has found some really surprising information about keemo’s life, and I’m — I’m so hoping that this is going to help him eventually heal.

Billy: Well, that sounds intriguing.

Phyllis: Any word yet?

Jack: From allie, nope.

Phyllis: No, the texter.

Jack: Not a word.

Phyllis: Not a word — that is so weird. They send you a text saying, “we’ll see what we can do,” and then nothing.

Jack: Radio silence.

Phyllis: That is strange and torturous. You seem to be handling it well.

Jack: Oh, if I don’t seem stressed, I assure you, I can’t seem to think of anything else.

Allie: I’m glad you found a buyer so quickly and at higher than the asking price. It’s just that this feels… abrupt.

Tanya: Just take your time.

Allie: Thanks. You know, I was here last night, walking through the rooms, talking to myself. I’m — I’m glad to have your company today.

Tanya: Well, I’m a full-service realtor. If you need someone to listen, I can do that.

Allie: Thank you. It’s just that I spent most of my life in this house, you know? Hard to say goodbye to it.

Tanya: I understand. You know, you’re lucky, though. This is a cash offer. There aren’t gonna be any complications. There’s no appraisal, no inspections. This is one of the simplest transactions I’ve ever had. Your buyer only has one condition to close the sale.

Allie: What’s that?

Tanya: She insisted on meeting you.

Ashland: Well, how are you, my, uh…friend? No? Okay, well, I realize that, at the moment, we’re not in a good place, but I’m hoping once the truth comes out, we’ll be able to fix that.

Nate: You and I were never friends. I was just someone useful to you while you conned victoria and her family.

Ashland: That’s not true.

Nate: Don’t play me like that. It sounds like you didn’t take the advice I gave you to come clean to victoria.

Ashland: Well, actually, I’m just waiting until I can give her the entire story. See, not just that I was set up, but who’s behind it. I know you are skeptical that i was framed, but that is the truth. So my plan is to use all the resources I have at my disposal to find out who’s responsible and make them pay. I just a little more time.

Nate: I’m sorry, ashland. Your time’s up.

Victoria: What is this, an ambush?

Nikki: Darling, calm down.

Victoria: I will not calm down. I can see what’s going on here. It’s not a coincidence that you’re here, and then my father and my brothers show up. This is obviously a planned and coordinated attack on my marriage. You wanted ashland out of here. You wanted to get me alone so that he couldn’t defend himself against the allegations.

Victor: Sweetheart, true. We want to talk to you without him.

Nick: We all know what would happen if ashland were here. We’ve seen it before. He’d make a bunch of excuses and allegations against us, but we know the facts.

Victoria: You know all the facts, really?

Nick: We know the ones that matter, and you need to know them, too. There’s been new information.

Victoria: Oh, of course, there’s always new information with you, because you won’t stop digging around, trying to find things to fit into this theory that you’ve concocted.

Nikki: Victoria, we want to hear from you.

Victoria: Well, it doesn’t seem like you want to listen to me at all, does it? Nick has made it clear that you want to browbeat me into seeing things your way. Well, you know what? To hell with that and to hell with all of you!

Victor: Victoria. Please listen to what we have to say, okay? And tonight’s winning numbers are 18,

Phyllis: Okay, okay, so you’re finally curious about who lured you to la.

Jack: These latest texts raised a lot of questions. Whoever this is has some connection with allie, or at least the means to reach out to her.

Phyllis: Hmm. Well, you know, that text sort of implied a little more than that. You know, it implied that they were the ones who were gonna reconnect you with allie and get her to accept you as her grandfather.

Jack: I think you’re reading a lot into five words.

Phyllis: Oh, maybe, maybe.

Jack: It crossed my mind it could be mai, keemo’s sister.

Phyllis: Oh, okay, do you have her information?

Jack: I chased down her personal information and gave her a call today. She’s as confused by these texts as we are. She has nothing to do with this.

Phyllis: Does she have any idea who it could be?

Jack: No, they’re not close. She’s in saigon, allie’s in la, and they apparently communicate infrequently.

Phyllis: Mm. You’re back at square one.

Phyllis: So it would seem.

Phyllis: Well, keep going. I believe in you. You’re gonna get to the bottom of this.

Ashland: What exactly do you mean “my time’s up”?

Nate: I think you can figure it out.

Ashland: Did you go to the newmans with your accusations?

Nate: They have the right to know.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] You could’ve given me a little warning.

Nate: Why? Because you’ve been so upfront with me? The last thing I want to do is help you get away with this.

Ashland: I’m not trying to get away with anything.

Nate: Look, I’ve heard more than enough from you. It makes me sick that you used me and my position as a way to give your scam more credibility.

Elena: What’s going on here?

Nate: Ashland here is just finding out that his investment in me is not gonna pay off, and he’s not happy about it.

Ashland: I don’t know what he’s told you, but this is just a misunderstanding.

Elena: The hell it is. It was an elaborate scheme, and I can’t begin to tell you how disgusted I am at your behavior.

Ashland: Wow. I’ll save you the trouble. There’s someplace else I have to be.

Nate: [ Sighs ]

Elena: [ Scoffs ]

Victoria: I’m not a child. You can’t control me.

Victor: Sweetheart, i apologize for my harsh tone, but your brother’s right. We’re all here to support you. We want to help you get through a very tough challenge, as you’ve gotten through other challenges before. You’re a strong woman. We know that.

Victoria: That’s right, I am a strong woman.

Victor: Yes.

Victoria: Strong enough to stand up to all of you and ban you from my life, if that’s what it takes.

Nikki: You don’t mean that.

Victoria: It would be a last resort, but it seems to be the only way that I’m gonna make it clear to you that I’m not gonna fall for your strong-arm tactics. I’m not gonna be bullied by you.

Adam: Victoria, you are not being fair to your parents.

Victoria: Shut up. I don’t remember asking for your input at all. In fact, I can’t remember you ever even remotely supporting me.

Adam: We all have a vested interest in your situation. We want to find a way to handle it privately, discreetly.

Victoria: Right, so is that a threat? Are you saying if I don’t play along, you’re gonna go public with these accusations? You’re gonna try to smear my husband in the press?

Victor: Sweetheart, we are being very polite with you. Okay? So kindly watch your tone. Now, the last thing we want is for this to go public. We want to help you. You must know that ashland locke lied to you, lied to all of us, took advantage of our compassion and our big hearts.

Victoria: See, that’s what this is all about. It’s about the company. Control.

Nick: You really think dad would put you through this heartbreak just to regain control of the company.

Victoria: You know, it makes a lot more sense than what you’re all asking me to believe right now…that ashland doesn’t love me and he never did. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Billy: Okay, let’s head to the house. I’m dying to hear what jack learned in los angeles.

Traci: Not so fast, buster. I have something I want to tell you first.

Billy: Okay.

Traci: I listened to the first episode of your podcast last night.

Billy: Oh, gosh. And?

Traci: I found it very compelling. I really think you’ve got something here.

Billy: You’re just saying that because you’re —

Traci: No, no, no, because I’m biased? Well, yes, I’m biased, but I’m saying it because it was moving, billy. You talked about love and loss, and all of it was straight from the heart. It was so brave. I really think that people are gonna respond to this.

Billy: Yeah, wasn’t easy putting that out there, but the fact that there’s any positive response from it, especially from someone that I admire so much, that feels good. Thank you.

Traci: Mm-hmm. If you keep putting out episodes like that, you are going to find an audience.

Billy: I do owe you half the credit.

Traci: Mm. Me, why?

Billy: ‘Cause you gave me the advice about meditating, and i tried.

Traci: [ Chuckles ] I know you did. You talked about it in the podcast.

Billy: So you were listening.

Traci: I was listening. You’ve been reading my books for me for years. The least I can do is return the favor.

Billy: Well, it helped. You know, it really helped me relax and let the feelings kind of bubble to the surface. Putting it out there felt good, even if you were the only one that listened.

Traci: Well, I love hearing that, so let’s take some of this positivity over to jack. What do you say?

Billy: Let’s go.

Traci: Let’s go.

Elena: I don’t think I’ve ever seen you this angry before.

Nate: Because I am furious with both ashland and myself for not seeing through him earlier.

Elena: Look, I keep telling you, you have to give yourself a break. How could you have possibly known that he was lying about having a deadly disease? He put up a good front.

Nate: All true, but there were people that saw through him.

Elena: Who?

Nate: Billy. He told us before the wedding that victoria was making a mistake. He said ashland couldn’t be trusted, but we just thought he was being jealous.

Elena: Okay, so maybe he has better instincts than we did. But he also hired a team of investigative reporters to look into ashland’s past. He had more information than we did.

Nate: But that story that billy published should’ve been a clue. We dismissed it because the source recanted everything. I wanted to believe that, even if there was some truth in it, none of it was relevant to the person who ashland is today. I should’ve been more skeptical, asked more questions.

Elena: Okay, okay, look. You can keep going down this path, trying to find the clues after the fact, but the thing that matters is that when it counted, you did the right thing.

Nate: I thought you were uncomfortable with me looking into his medical records.

Elena: I mean, sure, yes, i had qualms with your methods. But once you found proof, you took a stance. And most people in your position would’ve covered for ashland to protect themselves, but you exposed him to the newmans.

Nate: It’s clear ashland was hoping I’d sweep this under the rug. He thought I could be bought off with some flattery and donations to the hospital and a job offer. It’s insulting.

Elena: Hey. It sounds like he was even more wrong about you than you were about him.

Nikki: Darling, no one is saying ashland doesn’t love you.

Victoria: That’s exactly what you’re all saying. You’re claiming that ashland lied to me so that he could get his hands on the company because I’m too much of a dimwit to see it happening.

Nikki: No. No one is questioning your intelligence.

Victoria: This conversation is so disrespectful. I mean, can you look at me with a straight face and say that dad would not intentionally break my heart? He had me arrested on my wedding day.

Victor: Sweetheart, wait a minute. That’s ancient history. Besides that, you know that i was right about billy boy abbott.

Nick: What about me, vick? You honestly think I have an ulterior motive?

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] No. No, you don’t, but you have been very upfront about your dislike for ashland from the very start. You’ve been trashing his character for months, and now dad’s given you a reason to say that you’ve been right all along. It must feel amazing. I mean, every one of you here has a reason to want ashland out of the picture.

Nikki: What about me, victoria? I don’t have a reason to want ashland gone. Are you gonna accuse me of betraying you? When hurting feet make you want to stop,

Elena: I know you wish you’d caught on to ashland sooner, but you discovered the truth before you quit your job and before you signed a contract with him.

Nate: I am grateful for that, but, damn, I was close to doing both those things.

Elena: But you still dodged a bullet.

Nate: I did, but…even though I won’t be working for him, he could still find a way to come after me. He has a reputation for seeking revenge.

Elena: Yes, but we talked about this. The newmans are gonna be so glad that you stepped up the way that you did. They’re gonna have your back.

Nate: You’re right. Victor did assure me.

Elena: And you don’t need to worry about ashland trying to ruin your career. Lily and devon want to bring you onboard when they merge their companies. See? You have people in your corner.

Nate: I know, I know. I’m lucky. And the more I think about it, the less I’m concerned for myself. At this point, the person I’m worried about the most is victoria.

Nikki: I have always been your biggest ally, here at the office and in your private life. You can’t say that I haven’t been supportive of your relationship with ashland. I helped plan your wedding.

Victoria: I remember.

Nikki: I was so thrilled to see you in love and finally happy. I just loved seeing the two of you together. I would hold my breath whenever he had to go in for some more tests because I would pray that the two of you would have more time together. And you have to know that that was all very sincere.

Victoria: I know, mom. I know. I know that you’ve always been on our side. Just seems that somehow dad has convinced you that ashland’s been deceiving me this whole time.

Nikki: I didn’t want to believe it. I thought that the things he was uncovering could be explained as coincidences or misunderstandings.

Victoria: That’s it, that’s exactly what they are.

Nikki: Well, I’m sorry, darling, but I can’t believe that any longer. The evidence is overwhelming.

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] Evidence? How can you be convinced by a shaky video of some doctor with some outlandish story? And those bank statements — i mean, what do they even prove? That there was some large deposits from an obscure company of ashland’s? I mean, it’s circumstantial at best. At worst, it’s completely made up. I’m so sorry, but it’s not convincing.

Nick: What about michael’s disappearance? We have not heard from him since he sent back those bank statements from peru.

Victoria: I know, it’s awful. I mean, it explains why he hasn’t returned any of my calls, but that has nothing to do with ashland. I mean, there’s probably 1,000 explanations.

Victor: Sweetheart, you are totally correct in assuming that this wouldn’t convict anyone in court.

Victoria: That’s right.

Victor: You need evidence beyond the shadow of a doubt.

Victoria: I do.

Victor: We have that. It’s what convinced your mother, and hopefully will convince you. Not from some obscure doctor in south america, but from someone that we all trust.

Nick: It’s from nate, vick. I went to him for help. He also trusted ashland. He wanted to see if his friend was telling him the truth. So he took a look at his medical records.

Victor: Do you know what we have found?

Jack: Oh, you got that look on your face, like you’ve got an idea and you won’t let it go.

Phyllis: I just think it’s all weird, whoever’s leaving all of these bread crumbs in los angeles. Its’ just strange. I mean, why did they want to stay anonymous? It makes me uneasy.

Jack: Could it be as simple as they know it’s none of their business and they don’t want to get more involved?

Phyllis: They’re involved. They know so many things about you, jack.

Jack: Tell me something, do you think I’m making a mistake, letting whoever this is serve as an intermediary between allie and me?

Phyllis: Well, I mean, there’s nothing you can do now. I mean, they already are.

Jack: I could reach out to allie myself. I’ve thought of that. But she made it very clear she needs space. It’s — it’s too early. I don’t want to come off pushy. She already knows that her father wanted nothing to do with me. I’m sure she’s a little leery about the grandfather who came out of nowhere.

Phyllis: Okay, well, don’t do that to yourself. You’re a good, kind man. She should be so lucky. This is the best thing that’s ever happened to her.

[ Door opens ]

Jack: Hello?

Billy: Hey, jack.

Jack: Oh, hey.

Traci: Oh.

Billy: Brought some of your favorite pastries.

Traci: Oh, phyllis, I, um, didn’t know you’d be here.

Billy: It’s a good thing we brought a box.

Jack: Phyllis is here helping me determine how best to approach allie.

Billy: I’m sorry. Who’s allie? (Cyclist) why is ice t in a speed walking crew?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Tanya: I just got a text from the buyer. She’s on her way over. I’m gonna run to the car, get the hard copies of the documents, and you’ll both sign, she’ll give you the check, we’ll give her the keys.

[ Sighs ] She loves this house.

Allie: [ Sighs ] Dad…this place made me feel safe. And loved. And understood. This place is home. But, dad, now I know that it wasn’t the house. It was always you, dad. Without you, this place just doesn’t feel the same anymore. It’s just four walls.

[ Sighs ] Without you… I don’t really have a home anymore.

Billy: You have a granddaughter in california? That’s incredible. When is she coming out to visit us?

Jack: Well, the ball is in her court. She has my information, and she can reach out to me whenever she wants.

Billy: Okay. I mean, that doesn’t really sound like you. You’ve always been “the more, the merrier,” especially when it comes to family.

Phyllis: Well, jack didn’t really want to be pushy. She just lost her dad.

Billy: Yeah, I understand that, but doesn’t that mean she could use a little guidance?

Traci: Not if it seems like jack’s trying to take over her life.

Phyllis: You know, I don’t think she’s very close to her mom, so it seems like she’s alone in the world.

Jack: Look, I would like nothing better than to reach out and welcome her into this family. On her time. Look, I don’t want to make the same mistake I made with keemo. I realize now I pushed too hard when he was still grieving his mother, and our relationship never recovered.

Billy: Yeah, no, I understand that, but this is a different situation. I mean, keemo just lost his mother and he was angry and he was looking for someone to blame, and your history is painful. It’s not the same with allie. If phyllis is right, it sounds like she could use a little bit of support. I mean, to me, the mistake would be not reaching out to her.

Elena: I feel terrible for victoria, too. Do you think she knows the truth about ashland yet?

Nate: Well, victor didn’t seem like he was gonna sit on the information I gave him. He wanted her to see the evidence right away.

Elena: Imagine learning that the person you thought was your soulmate was deceiving you in the most profound way. I don’t know how she can trust anyone again.

Nate: And that’s what worries me. Victoria’s been through a lot. When I first came to town, she was just recovering from a relationship that had become physically abusive.

Elena: I didn’t know that.

Nate: Letting ashland into her heart was a leap of faith. And now this.

Elena: [ Sighs ] Well, I don’t even blame her for thinking that he adored her. I mean, it’s how it looked to me. Do you remember his vows in tuscany? They were so moving, and as much as I am disgusted by ashland, am I crazy to think that maybe there’s something real there? Maybe he developed some genuine feelings for victoria, even if it didn’t start out that way.

Nate: I doubt that. To lie to her the way that he did, knowing her history, any man that can do that isn’t capable of love.

Victor: Nate found that the scans taken at memorial of ashland after his heart attack showed nothing. No cancer. They were clear.

Victoria: That doesn’t mean anything. I mean [Scoffs] It’s a mistake. Maybe nate missed something.

Victor: Sweetheart, nate is a trained physician.

Victoria: Yes, dad, but he’s not an oncologist. Obviously, ashland has cancer. I mean, he underwent chemotherapy for months. Are you telling me that he would put himself through something like this as some part of a scam?

Nick: Nate also looked into ashland’s chemotherapy. There’s no record of any appointments. Ashland never underwent chemo, vick.

Victoria: [ Laughs ]

Nikki: Victoria. Victoria, victoria, stop.

Victoria: I’m sorry, but this is absolutely crazy. You’re all out of your minds. Of course ashland underwent chemo. I mean, I drove him to the hospital myself.

Nikki: Yes, but he never wanted you to go in and sit with him. You would drop him off and come right back to work.

Victoria: Mother, of course, it was very hard on him. He didn’t want to see me — see him that way.

Nick: So you never went in with him, you never registered him at the front desk of the oncology wing?

Victoria: No, no. Why would I do that, nicholas? Why? Why would I do that? But I know that he had the treatment. He would always be so sick afterwards. In fact, one time, nate had to bring him home because he wasn’t well enough to do it himself. So are you telling me right now that — that he was faking all of that?

Victor: Sweetheart, look at me. What other explanation can there be?

Victoria: I don’t know, dad. There could be several reasons. Maybe the hospital records were hacked or maybe somebody replaced the scans or the chemotherapy information.

Nick: Vick, come on. Does any of that sound even remotely plausible?

Victoria: I don’t know, okay? But I am gonna find out the answers on my own without any of you. Ashland was right, you’ve already all made up your minds. That’s fine, but I am done talking about this. Ashland and I, we’re leaving for tuscany immediately, where i will run the company on my own without any of you.

Adam: Victoria, victoria, you’re not going anywhere.

Unleash the freshness…

Phyllis: Billy agrees with me. You should reach out to allie and explain how you feel.

Traci: Mm, I don’t know. I think jack has been very wise to be cautious about this. Allie seems like a really sensitive young girl with a lot going on. I think she needs some time to sort things out.

Billy: Yeah, but she also needs support, right? I mean, there’s no one more supportive than jack.

Traci: Of course not. That’s true, but if that is the only reason that jack wants to connect with allie, that would be one thing, but jack is grieving, too, and…be honest. Don’t you have another motivation for wanting to reach out to allie? Isn’t it to find out more about keemo’s life and what you missed?

Jack: Yeah, there’s some truth to that.

Traci: Yeah.

Phyllis: I mean, so you should reach out to her, you know? She probably needs somebody to talk to about her dad, and you could keep keemo’s spirit alive.

Jack: You know, if that’s what she needs, she knows how to reach out to me. I just don’t think it’s fair for me to pressure her into making me feel better when she’s still dealing with so much pain.

Allie: [ Sighs ] Dad…am I just gonna have one-sided conversations like this with you for the rest of my life? Or is this just part of grief and something that I’ll move past?

[ Sighs ] I kind of regret coming here.

[ Sighs ] This isn’t how I want to remember this house — our house. No, I want to keep it in my mind the same way that it was with you here.

[ Sighs ] Those are the memories I want to hold onto. Tanya, um, thank you very much for all your help, but I have to leave.

Tanya: Oh. Are you alright?

Allie: Yeah, I’m fine. I just — I have a thing, and i totally forgot about it. I know the buyer wanted to meet, but I can just —

Tanya: No, the deal depends on it.

Allie: Okay, well, she can — she can call, she can e-mail me, but I got to go.

Tanya: I came back in to tell you she’s already here.

Victoria: Get out of my way.

Adam: We’re not done here.

Victoria: Oh, I would say that we’ve been done for quite a while. You asked me to hear you out, so I listened. I listened to what you guys had to say. You told me what nate said, and, quite frankly, I’m disgusted that you would even drag him into this, but I’m not surprised. You’re trying to drive a wedge between ashland and anyone that cares about him, but it’s not gonna work.

Adam: Look, I know what you’re going through. I spent last year in the same spot. I was deceived and I was manipulated by someone that i loved, okay? And she was also faking a medical condition, so…

Victoria: Oh, my god, you are not actually comparing my husband with chelsea, the con artist?

Adam: There are similarities.

Victoria: Ashland is a billionaire who built his company from the ground up, and chelsea has been conning people her whole life.

Nick: Ashland has been lying about his identity his entire adult life, and he built this fortune on a fraudulent inheritance.

Victoria: Oh, come on, that’s totally different.

Nick: I’m just saying, he doesn’t own the moral high ground, vick. If chelsea’s a liar and a scammer, then so is he.

Adam: Look, victoria, the point is I could never imagine chelsea doing something like that to me. But eventually, when I looked at all the angles, I realized there could only be one person that was trying to frame me for poisoning rey. And I couldn’t wrap my head around it. I mean, I felt guilty even thinking it. But then, one day, she slipped up, and I realized that she was playing me. And everything changed in that moment, and that will happen if you go back to ashland. You’ll be in tuscany, trying to live your dream life, and then the truth will hit you that ashland is playing you. Because even the best con artists cannot keep up the charade every second of every day.

[ Knock on door ]

Ashland: Oh. Uh…what’s going on here?

Victoria: I was actually just leaving. I’ll explain to you what happened at home.

Victor: Wait a minute, you wanted ashland to have a chance to explain himself, okay?

Victoria: No, daddy, we’re gonna handle this in private.

Nikki: Why is that? You think that we won’t be fair or are you afraid that ashland won’t have a good explanation?

Ashland: What have they been telling you now?

Victoria: They — they told me that nate looked into your medical records. He was hoping to defend you from all of the allegations.

Ashland: And?

Victoria: And the scan from a year ago didn’t show any cancer. It didn’t show any — any chemotherapy appointments or treatment. I told them that it was a mistake. Was it?

Ashland: This is never going to end, is it? You are all determined to drive a wedge between victoria and me, no matter how much it hurts her. And you have the nerve to stand there and claim that you were acting out of concern.

Victor: You haven’t answered my question. Do you have an explanation for what nate found?

Ashland: It doesn’t matter what I say at this point. You don’t want to believe me.

Victoria: I want to believe you.

Ashland: I just spoke with nate. I don’t know what you all said to him, but he is definitely rattled. Victoria…it doesn’t matter what I say or how I defend myself against this attack, because there will be another and another and another, as long as we are together. I can’t do this. I can’t keep fighting endlessly, and you can’t turn your back on your family. I wish it was enough for you… to know that I love you with all my heart. Because your love means everything to me. You have changed my life. But this — this right here… this is obviously never going to work. I’m done trying.

Nikki: Oh, my darling.

Victoria: It’s true. Now I know that it’s true. He’s lying. He was lying.

[ Breathes shakily ]

Nikki: It’s alright, it’s alright.

Victoria: [ Crying ]

Nikki: I’m so sorry.

Victoria: [ Sobbing ] Why?

Traci: Jack, if you hold off on contacting allie now, you can change her mind later. You can reach out to her anytime — next week, next month, wait for the holidays, whatever. But if you push too hard and it backfires, you will never be able to fix that.

Jack: You make a good point.

Billy: You know, none of this really matters if this mystery texter convinces allie to reach out to you.

Phyllis: Yeah, I don’t think we should rely on the kindness of strangers.

Jack: Look, you said yourself we can’t control what this person does. So maybe I just have to hope for the best, and one day, maybe I’ll get to thank this person, whoever it is.

Tanya: Come on in. Allie’s been looking forward to meeting you.

Taylor: Hello, allie. I’m taylor jenson. I’m so happy to meet you.

Proofread by Anita

Drew: Started without me, I see. Too far gone to drive already?

Curtis: [ Chuckles ] No, those are house keys. Portia and I just closed on a new place.

Drew: Come on! That’s awesome, man. Congratulations. I’m so happy for you guys. That is deserving of a toast. Hook me up. So come on, fill me in. What’s next?

Curtis: Well, you know, it’s kind of hard to focus on the future when Marshall’s past won’t leave me alone.

Marshall: I’m having issues with my medication, and I-I can’t seem to reach my doctor.

Deanna: And your doctor is?

Marshall: Uh, well, he’s — he’s based out of town, but I was treated here by Dr. Rose some months back.

Deanna: I’ll track him down.

Marshall: Thank you. Thank you. I really need to get this… dosage right.

Sonny: What happened?

Ava: Oh, well, she had a little fall at the playground.

Sonny: How you doing, sweetheart?

Ava: She says that her arm hurts.

Sonny: Oh.

TJ: I’m sure it does hurt, but it’s nothing we can’t fix, right, Avery?

Sonny: And, you know, I’ve known this guy since he was about that big.

Ava: [ Laughs ]

TJ: I think I was a little taller than that.

Sonny: Maybe — maybe this big.

TJ [ Whispering ] Way taller.

Sonny: [ Chuckles ] Listen, I watched him become a great doctor, and I trust him with my life.

Ava: Whoa. Wow. Well, then I guess we can trust him with your arm, huh?

Sonny: Yeah?

Avery: Yeah.

TJ: Let’s do it.

Carly: Okay, come on. So, this is just a conversation.

Josslyn: Yeah, I know.

Carly: Come here. Alexis is gonna explain to you how the Invader wants to tell your story, okay? If that’s the avenue you want to take. Now, I know afterwards, you and Cameron are supposed to meet with a detective, but if that’s not something you want to do, or if you feel like it’s too much —

Josslyn: Mom, okay, I get it. Okay. Sorry.

Carly: Don’t be. Don’t be sorry.

Josslyn: I just — I’ve been thinking about this all night, so I’m ready.

Carly: Okay. Okay.

Alexis: Come in. Hi. Okay. So thank you for coming. And unless you have any questions, I’ll just, uh, jump right in, alright? No questions? Alright. Sit down, if you don’t mind. And let’s get started.

Laura: Hey. What brings you by?

Nikolas: I just wanted to see if you needed any help.

Laura: With?

Nikolas: Spencer’s homecoming.

Laura: Well, there’s not much to do, really. I mean, his room is ready. I did stop and pick up his favorite madeleines from Eckert’s.

Nikolas: He’ll love that.

Laura: Yeah.

Nikolas: You sure there’s nothing else?

Laura: He’s only been gone a month. But if I’m being completely honest, he shouldn’t be coming back here at all. His home is with you at Wyndemere.

Spencer: Gin. Looks like I reign supreme. Unless you’re letting me win.

Guard: Not my style.

Harmony: Hey. [ Clears throat ] Um, any chance you could spare some time for a fellow inmate?

Harmony: If you don’t want anything to do with Ryan, I completely understand. I mean, I’d steer clear of him, too, if it wasn’t my job.

Spencer: What does he want?

Harmony: Play a game… and to talk.

Spencer: He can’t talk. That’s what being locked in means, right?

Harmony: Well, we’ve developed a workaround, and Ryan communicated with me last night. He’s prepared for a bunch of directions the conversation might take.

Spencer: Wow. That must have been a lot of blinking.

Harmony: Yeah. And, honestly, if you’re not comfortable with it or you have reservations, I —

Spencer: Let’s do it.

Harmony: Are you sure?

Spencer: I’m only gonna be in here for a few more hours. And, quite frankly, I’m gin-rummied out. No offense.

Guard: None taken.

Spencer: White or black?

Harmony: Ryan takes black. You make the first move.

Nikolas: So what did you want to talk about?

Harmony: Ryan says, “you’re welcome.”

Nikolas: I highly doubt Spencer would be on board with living at Wyndemere.

Laura: [ Sighs ] But you two have made some inroads, haven’t you?

Nikolas: We’ve gained some ground, yes, but pushing Spencer to come home would be the surest way to lose it.

Laura: Just bring up the conversation, and we’ll go from there. We need to close ranks, Nikolas. You don’t want to leave Spencer vulnerable to Victor, do you?

Nikolas: Oh, you know I don’t.

Laura: Okay, well, that’s where he’s going to land if he can’t come to you. And if I’m being perfectly honest, his living situation here really can’t go on indefinitely.

Esme: I agree. Which is why I’m moving out.

Carly: It needs to be made clear, not only did Josslyn and Cameron not make the video, they did not release it themselves.

Elizabeth: Absolutely.

Alexis: Got it. That goes without saying. But the number-one priority is for these two to be protected. Now, if you do this, it’s an opportunity for you to take control and frame the narrative. Now, having said that, this is a very big decision. And if you decide that you don’t want to do it, fine. It’s up to you. Now, I assume you might have some questions about the process?

Carly: I have many.

Elizabeth: Yeah, as do I.

Alexis: And I will answer all of them. But, um, right now I’m gonna ask the two of you to step outside for a bit, because I think this conversation will be more productive with fewer participants.

Carly: I’ll be upstairs at the restaurant.

Elizabeth: Text me if you need me, okay?

Alexis: Okay. Let’s hear it.

TJ: Right this way.

Ava: Aren’t we lucky that Dr. Ashford is here today, that your dad knows him so well?

Nurse: I’m sorry, uh, but Dr. Rose isn’t in today, but I can help you make an appointment for when he is.

Curtis: How bad is it?

Drew: Are you sure that you want to know?

Curtis: Damn. Is it that bad?

Drew: Not necessarily. No, I’m — I’m just saying that I’m looking at you right now, and it really seems like maybe you don’t want to know this information, which I completely get. I mean, you’ve got your father back in your life, Curtis. That’s something that you never, ever thought was gonna happen, right? I mean, if Alan Quartermaine walked off that elevator right now… …maybe that would be enough for me. Maybe I-I wouldn’t need full disclosure on his faults and his failings and why he made the choices he made. Maybe I’d be happy to know my father in the here and now and just take it from there.

Curtis: So you’re saying I should ignore what’s in the envelope.

Drew: I’m saying that’s completely your call. I’m just pointing out that there’s — there’s no shame in considering your father’s presence a gift and — and taking that gift, no questions asked.

TJ: We’ll take some x-rays to make sure, but it looks like a wrist sprain at most.

Avery: What’s an x-ray?

TJ: It’s when we take really cool pictures of what’s inside your body.

Sonny: Isn’t that cool, baby?

Ava: And — and a sprain, that’s — that would be good news, not the end of the world.

TJ: Mm-hmm.

Avery: Do I still get a lollipop?

TJ: Oh! Man, I am — I’m all out of lollipops today.

Sonny: Hey, hey, you know what? [ Whispering ] I’ll go to the gift shop and get one. Eee!

Avery Yay!

[ Laughter ]

[ Telephone ringing, indistinct conversations ]

Marshall: I finally figured you out. You’re the type who only learns his lesson the second time around.

Sonny: Is there a problem here?

Marshall: I thought I made myself clear at The Savoy. Don’t come at my family, Sonny.

Sonny: Okay, I think you’re wrong about what was happening then, and I think you’re making a mistake about what’s happening now.

Marshall: No, no, no. There’s no mistake. I saw you talking to TJ over there.

Sonny: Okay. And?

Marshall: He’s my grandson.

Sonny: TJ also happens to be a doctor, and my daughter was injured on the playground. He’s treating her.

Marshall: Sonny.

Sonny: Yeah?

Marshall: This hospital is full of doctors. Find another one, please. I don’t want my grandson associating with the likes of you.

Sonny: Well, I’ll be interested to, uh, find out how you’re going to enforce that. Excuse me.

Carly: Are you even hungry?

Elizabeth: That depends. Are you serving head-on-a-platter?

Carly: I will be when we prove that Esme did this. How is Cameron?

Elizabeth: Uh, he’s mortified, furious, completely and utterly shaken.

Carly: That sounds about right.

Elizabeth: How’s Josslyn doing? She seems to be holding up really well.

Carly: Does she? She’s checking all the boxes, right? Head held high. Determined to stand up for herself. But she has to be putting up a front.

Elizabeth: I mean, how could it not be?

Carly: I don’t care how tough you are. When you’re called a tramp and a slut, it takes its toll. I didn’t want this for Josslyn. You know, I want her to be who she is — confident, strong, come out swinging if need be, but —

Elizabeth: Just without people calling her names.

Carly: Why did this happen?

Elizabeth: I don’t know. But I can tell you this — Josslyn’s gonna be okay.

Carly: Yeah? How can you be so sure?

Elizabeth: She’s got you.

Josslyn: So once it’s established that this tape was made and posted without our consent —

Alexis: Which is illegal, and I cannot stress that enough. Revenge porn and filming someone without their consent is a misdemeanor and felony, respectively.

Josslyn: Okay. And will there be any mention of Esme?

Alexis: We can only make general references to a person, who is unnamed, thought to be responsible. So without evidence from the PCU or from the police, any allegations made to a specific wrongdoer is — is libelous.

Josslyn: And what about mentions of me and Cam?

Alexis: Typically, pseudonyms are used in cases like this.

Cameron: But that won’t stop other papers from using our names.

Alexis: Given how young you are, respected news organizations will most likely follow our lead and not identify you.

Cameron: Okay, but what about the non-respected ones? I mean, they’re gonna be all over this because Joss is Sonny’s stepdaughter.

Josslyn: Okay, so, I mean, if our real names are gonna get out there, why even use the pseudonyms? I mean, maybe we just start with our real names.

Cameron: Or maybe we don’t even do this at all.

Esme: I vacuumed, made the bed, and scoured the bathroom. It’ll be like I was never here.

Nikolas: Spencer will be heartbroken to come home and find you gone. And I’m guessing you’ll be feeling the same way.

Esme: I just don’t know.

Nikolas: How’s this? Stay until he gets here, please? Then you can decide next steps together.

Laura: Why don’t you go pick up Spencer, and then Esme and i can have a chance to talk?

Nikolas: Work your magic.

Laura: So just the two of us now. Why don’t you tell me what’s really going on?

Spencer: And what am I supposedly grateful for?

Harmony: “You and your girlfriend exploited my name and reputation, using it to further your own ends, ends that saw ava hurt. I didn’t stop you.”

Spencer: Why should you have? Your name entered the public domain like 10 murders ago.

Harmony: [ Sighs ] “And it was all for nothing. Ava and Nikolas are still together, and you’re out in the cold, I hear, abandoned even by your own girlfriend.”

Spencer: Should’ve spent my last hour doing pottery.

Harmony: [ Sighs ] “It doesn’t have to be this way. You still have one friend.”

Spencer: Who?

Harmony: “Me.”

TJ: Just a moderate sprain. Needs an elastic bandage and some ice.

Sonny: And… this.

Ava: Alright. What do you say?

Avery: Thank you.

TJ: I will get nurse Deanna to wrap it up for you. She is the best in the business.

Sonny: Don’t tell Epiphany.

TJ: The best in the business after Epiphany.

Ava: Smart guy.

Sonny: Hey, um, thank you for checking her out.

TJ: Anytime. Could I talk to you for a quick second?

Sonny: Yeah.

Ava: Alright, let’s see. Ooh, you got watermelon. Dad knows that’s your favorite, huh, you very lucky girl?

TJ: I saw you with my grandfather. Is everything okay?

Sonny: I-I-I have no problem with Marshall.

TJ: Take care of that arm, Avery.

Avery: I will.

Ava: So, hey, I have an idea. How about after you’re all patched up, we head over to Kelly’s and get some ice cream?

Avery: Yeah. Can mama Carly come, too?

Marshall: Look, I-I don’t like to mess around with this stuff. Is there someone else I could see besides Dr. Rose?

TJ: Someone like me?

Curtis: You know what? You’re right. I do want my father in my life. And if it were just me, I could probably go on not asking another question.

Drew: But you’re also asking for Portia, for Trina.

Curtis: And for TJ and Aunt stella.

Drew: Yep. How can I, in good conscience, open the door to my life to let Marshall in without knowing what’s gonna follow him inside?

Drew: Sounds like you made up your mind.

Curtis: Can’t look the other way. I have to know everything about that man before I let him get any closer.

[ Envelope rustles ]

Spencer: I think I’m all set on friends, but thanks.

Harmony: [ Sighs ] Um… “we’re on the same team. Neither of us want your father with Ava. But only one of us still has the power to act. Will you use it?” Checkmate.

Laura: Well, you were right. That bathroom is absolutely spotless.

Esme: You almost sound disappointed.

Laura: You know, I like an easy call, and for a minute there, I thought I had you all figured out. I-I actually thought you were bad for Spencer and that it was only a matter of time before he figured it out.

Esme: And bye-bye, Esme.

Laura: Well, yes, but that’s not what happened. I mean, the two of you became even closer, and then I saw you encourage him to reconcile with his father. So as it turns out, you are by no means an easy call.

Esme: Are you saying you were wrong about me?

Josslyn: So you don’t want to do the article?

Cameron: I just think that we should consider all of our options before going public.

Josslyn: Well, it’s already public, Cam. That’s kind of the whole point.

Cameron: Okay, but if we keep talking about it, everyone’s gonna keep talking about it. Maybe if we stay quiet, this will blow over.

Josslyn: That’s easy for you to say. You’re big man on campus. Meanwhile, I’m being tagged as a slut on social media.

Cameron: Look, Joss, that’s not what I meant. I know that this is harder on you, I really do.

Alexis: Alright, listen. I am not doing this feature to make money. I’m doing it because I think it can do some real good. But you both have to be on board. And if you decide that the downside is just too great, I fully understand. This is a really hard thing to do. I will follow your lead, and in the meantime, I’m gonna give you some time to talk about it.

Elizabeth: You know, I used to consider myself lucky that I only had boys.

Carly: Really? You never dreamed of a little girl?

Elizabeth: Oh, no, never. The thought terrified me. I convinced myself that if I had a little girl, I would have to build up walls around her, roll her in bubble wrap.

Carly: Don’t think I haven’t tried.

Elizabeth: Anything to protect her so she wouldn’t get hurt.

Carly: Like you did?

Elizabeth: That night changed everything for me. But now that I have Violet in my life, I realize I had it all wrong. I hope that she’s raised the same way you’re raising Josslyn, to be a strong, fierce, proactive young woman.

Carly: I’m sorry.

Elizabeth: Yes? I just paid you a compliment.

Carly: I thought my ears were playing tricks on me.

Elizabeth: [ Laughs ] We have our differences.

Carly: We do.

Elizabeth: But you did a hell of a job raising your daughter.

Laura: How about this? How about we say that you’ve shown so much growth that I am willing to reconsider my initial evaluation?

Esme: Unfortunately, it’s a little too late.

Laura: Are things really that bad with you and Spencer? I just find that so hard to believe.

Esme: Why?

Laura: Because I can see that your opinion has weight with him. He listens to you. He takes your words to heart. I know he adores you. I’ve seen the way he looks at you.

Esme: Have you seen the way he looks at Trina?

Laura: Ah. Okay, now I understand.

Esme: It’s been that way since the moment I met her. I was looking for Spencer at Wyndemere, and I found him alone with her. It was obvious I was interrupting something. First, I chalked it up to my own insecurity, but now it’s just too obvious to ignore. The person I crossed an ocean for… …the only guy I’ve ever loved has fallen for someone else. Now I’m leaving spence behind before he and his friends can leave me with nothing.

Harmony: Ryan would like to know if you’d like to play another game.

Nikolas: Today is the big day. You feeling ready?

Spencer: Yeah, I’ve never been readier, if that’s a word. Where’s grandmother?

Nikolas: She’s waiting for you at her place. What’s that?

Spencer: With Ryan?

Nikolas: Yeah, with Ryan.

Spencer: We’re just killing some time.

Nikolas: No, nothing’s ever that simple with Chamberlain.

Spencer: He’s just trying to get inside my head.

Nikolas: Are you all right?

Spencer: Yeah, I’m fine. So Grandmother’s at home. What about Ava?

Ava: Uh, y-you haven’t seen a lot of — of Carly lately, have you? Well, you know, I don’t know if she’s available right now, but I will certainly call her and ask her, okay?

Sonny: And you know what, sweetie? If Carly’s not free, we’ll schedule a play date. Right? And I — and I know that things have — there have been a lot of changes. But I’m gonna tell you something. There’s one thing that will always stay the same. Your parents — all three of them — your brothers and sisters, we will always love you to the end of the galaxy.

Avery: Promise?

Ava: Promise.

Sonny: I promise.

Marshall: Thanks for the offer, but, uh, it’ll keep.

TJ: You sure? You sounded a little put out.

Deanna: Dr. Ashford knows his stuff. I appreciate that.

TJ: Uh, Deanna, could you wrap Avery corinthos’ left wrist? She has a mild sprain.

Deanna: You got it.

TJ: Thank you. She’s right, you know. I do know my stuff.

Marshall: Look, if I — I sounded put out, it — it’s my fault. I should have called before I came.

TJ: Or maybe you’re not upset because you couldn’t see your doctor. Maybe you’re upset because Sonny corinthos got under your skin.

Elizabeth: [ Sighs ] I have to admit, in the beginning, I was rooting for Cameron and Trina to get together.

Carly: Oh. As opposed to Cameron and Joss.

Elizabeth: Well, I was just… worried that Josslyn might be…

Carly: Too much like me?

[ Both laugh ]

Elizabeth: But now I realize she’s exactly who I want Cameron to be with. She’s smart and independent and fiercely loyal to the people she cares about. I know I keep using the word “fierce,” but it’s just true.

Carly: And Cameron isn’t afraid of Josslyn’s fierceness.

Elizabeth: Oh. Just the opposite. He’s drawn towards it. And more than that, he respects it.

Carly: Okay, well, if we’re throwing out compliments, I have some. Cameron’s a great kid, and he respects women because you taught him to.

Elizabeth: It’s kind of ironic, isn’t it?

Carly: What is?

Elizabeth: Well, respect hasn’t really always been my thing. You should know that better than anyone.

Elizabeth: Grow up, Carly. We have a baby’s welfare to consider, not to mention Lucky and anyone else involved.

Carly: You trashed your marriage because you slept around on your husband.

Elizabeth: [ Scoffs ] This coming from you, the town whore?

[ Slap sound ]

Carly: You got pregnant on purpose, you hypocritical little slut.

Elizabeth: And you were right. I was a hypocrite, judging you when I was no saint myself.

Carly: Yeah, well, I could have taken the high road a few times, and I didn’t.

Elizabeth: [ Chuckles ] And it’s highly unlikely that I will in the future.

[ Both laugh ]

Cameron: Look, everything has been moving so fast, I feel like I haven’t had time to think of any of it.

Josslyn: Really? Because I feel like that’s all I do. And guess what? We don’t have the power to slow it down. I mean, we’ve already gotten e-mails requesting comment from the PCU paper. You think it’ll stop there?

Cameron: I-it could. I mean, maybe if we keep our heads down, something else will happen and take the attention away from us.

Josslyn: And then what? You heard Alexis, cam. What happened to us was a crime. And sitting in the dark hiding just makes me feel like more of a victim, and I don’t want that. And I don’t want people to think I’m ashamed, because I’m not. We didn’t do anything wrong.

Cameron: No, we didn’t.

Josslyn: We had sex because we love each other. I love you.

Cameron: I love you, too.

Josslyn: So I’m not gonna let Esme and some internet creepers turn this into something ugly.

Cameron: Look, Joss, I just — I don’t want you to get hurt.

Josslyn: I’ll be more hurt if I don’t stand up for myself. So will you stand up with me?

[ Knock on door ]

[ Door opens ]

Alexis: I want you to meet Alicia Gallego. This is Josslyn Jacks and Cameron Webber.

Alicia: Nice to meet you both.

Alexis: Alicia’s one of our best reporters. And I don’t mean to pressure you, but we are reaching a deadline for tomorrow’s issue. And if we’re gonna stay ahead of this, this story needs to be in said issue. All by way of saying, have you reached a decision?

Esme: To spence’s friends, I’m toxic, and I’m afraid they finally convinced him to agree.

Laura: So you’re leaving?

Esme: I refuse to stick around for scapegoat duty.

Laura: Even if it means giving up Spencer?

Esme: What would you do in my position? Fight to hold onto a guy who’s into someone else?

Laura: [ Sighs ] I-I would have to think twice.

Esme: But I bet you’ve never had to. I bet you’ve always been the first in the eyes of the one you loved. I’m lucky if anyone sees me at all. Spence did. Not anymore.

Laura: You don’t know that.

Esme: Yes, I do.

Esme: Are you 100% certain? No. Okay. So you asked me what I would do in your position. I think I’d want to know that it was really over before I walked away.

Esme: I don’t even know why we’re discussing this. I mean, what difference does it make to you whether spence is with me or he isn’t?

Laura: Actually… it makes more difference than you know.

Nikolas: Avery had a little playground accident. Ava had to take her to the hospital.

Spencer: How badly is Avery hurt?

Nikolas: Ava doesn’t think it’s serious, but she just wanted to make sure.

Spencer: It’s good that Ava’s focused on Avery. She’ll be torturing me soon enough.

Nikolas: Spencer.

Spencer: We can’t forget that ava is in charge of my restitution.

Nikolas: Let’s start out this way.

Spencer: What way?

Nikolas: You know exactly what I mean. We haven’t even left this place, and we’re already at odds over Ava.

Spencer: When are we not?

Nikolas: You know, walking out those doors doesn’t erase anything. You still have a lot of work ahead to make up for the pain you caused. And you need all the allies you can get.

Spencer: Oh, I see. So I either toe the line or you and ava cut me loose. No. I’ve been there. I’ve done that.

Nikolas: No. I just — I wish you would see your release the way that I do. It’s an opportunity for a fresh start for all of us.

Spencer: Let’s just focus on us, okay? We can worry about the subject of Ava later.

Nikolas: [ Sighs ] I’ll take what I can get. Should we get you processed and out of here?

Elizabeth: The name-calling we did…

Carly: Mm.

Elizabeth: …Seems a lot worse now, doesn’t it?

Carly: In light of what the kids are going through?

Elizabeth: Mm-hmm.

Carly: Yeah, it feels like the universe is dishing out some serious karma. I mean, you and I — ugh, we said some nasty things to each other, and I just feel like Josslyn and Cam are paying the price.

Elizabeth: Well, I’m — I don’t know. I just think they’re being tested. And where we failed as young adults, they’ll succeed.

Carly: You sound confident.

Elizabeth: I am. Because you and I have raised two fundamentally decent humans. It’s not gonna protect them from getting hurt.

Carly: No, but it’ll give them tools on how to handle it.

Elizabeth: Exactly. They’re gonna take whatever’s thrown at them and just keep on going.

Carly: Just like we did. Hopefully with a lot less drama.

Elizabeth: Oh, God. Please. Way less.

[ Both laugh ]

Ava: Oh. So I, um — I take it there was a little hiccup with you and — and Curtis’ father?

Sonny: You don’t miss a beat, do you?

Ava: Hmm. Let’s just say I’m attuned to your moods.

Sonny: Well, it wasn’t really a hiccup. It was just a — a communication problem.

Ava: Not on your part, though. I-I say that because I heard that you were communicating quite a bit, uh, on Nina’s behalf.

Sonny: On Wiley’s behalf.

Ava: Whichever. It’s a side of you that I’m not often privy to. Optimistic and sociable. I like it. It’s becoming. I hope I see more of it.

Marshall: I’ve crossed paths with men like Sonny Corinthos before.

TJ: Then you should know he is no one to mess with.

Marshall: Yeah. Yeah. You seem pretty chummy with him.

TJ: We go way back. Sonny was there for me when I really needed it.

Marshall: I bet he loves to remind you of it, too.

TJ: No, it’s not like that.

Marshall: No, not now. Not yet. But the Sonnys of the world — they never forget a favor given. And Lord knows they always collect on a favor owed. Don’t mistake his generosity for genuine friendship.

Drew: It’s a lease dated September 1986 for a one-bedroom apartment in Buenos Aires. It was never digitized, so a conventional background check wouldn’t have caught it, plus, it’s a foreign document.

Curtis: And I never even thought to look outside the U.S.

Drew: The only reason my people caught it is because Aurora is big enough that it vets internationally.

Curtis: So my father lived outside the country.

Drew: Yep. But it’s who he lived as that surprised me. Check out the name on the agreement.

Curtis: Marshall Ashford. He was in witness protection. Wouldn’t he have an alias?

Drew: Guy was abroad. Maybe he got sloppy?

Curtis: Or… maybe he was never in witness protection.

Carly: How’ it go?

Josslyn: Well, we heard what Alexis had to say, and we agree with her.

Elizabeth: So you’re doing the story?

Cameron: Did the story.

Josslyn: Yeah, we already spoke with the reporter. We’re not hiding. We’re gonna stand up for ourselves.

Carly: Good for you. Good for both of you.

Lopez: Cameron Webber and Josslyn Jacks?

Josslyn: Yes.

Lopez: I’m detective Lopez with the PCPD. Ready to give your statements?

Josslyn: Yeah, we’re ready.

Alexis: This is actually coming together.

Alicia: At the speed of light, it would seem.

Alexis: I am really proud of Josslyn and Cameron. This was a really tough decision. So our job is to make sure that they don’t regret it.

Curtis: [ Sighs ] So if my father wasn’t in witness protection, but he was on the run, then his claims that the danger had passed — they don’t count for much.

Drew: I went there, too. But maybe witness protection services doesn’t extend abroad.

Curtis: Yeah, but he still would have an alias, though, right?

Drew: Mm.

Curtis: Providing he ever had one in the first place.

Drew: So… you got this information. Now what are you gonna do with it?

Marshall: Stay away from Sonny. If he keeps sniffing around, let me know.

TJ: Okay. Okay. If I ever have any problems with Sonny, I will.

Marshall: Thank you.

Ava: Avery, watch where you’re going, honey!

Marshall: Whoa! Oh. Almost — hey. Are you all right, little one?

Harmony: Next time you want to play mind games with someone, find yourself another lackey, because I have enough trouble in my own life. What is it?

Marshall: Are you all right, little one?

Ava: I’m so sorry.

Marshall: It’s okay. It’s no — no problem. I’ll have that back now.

Sonny: See you soon.

Harmony: “Don’t worry. One day I’ll free you from my service… the only way I know how.”

Laura: Under normal circumstances, I would step back and let you and Spencer work out your problems. But these are not normal times. It’s very clear to me that Victor is up to no good, which will most certainly blow back on my son and my grandson. Now, whatever issues you’re having, I know that you really care about Spencer. And right now, he needs everybody he can get in his corner. And especially the ones who have sway with him.

Esme: So if I can help keep Spence away from Victor, you’ll… overlook my issues? And what happens if I’m not willing to overlook Spence’s?

[ Door opens ]

On the next “General Hospital” —

Willow (to Michael): I wasn’t being honest with her, or with you.

Curtis (to Jordan): I really need your help.

Nikolas: Is that a problem.

Ava (to Victor): I always want something, and I usually get it.

Anna (to Drew): You really are our best chance.

Harmony: I wish it was that simple.

Nina (to Sonny): I was following up on something important.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Phone line trilling]

Jake: Come on, gabi. Why aren’t you picking up?

[Cell phone buzzing]

Johnny: Is something wrong?

Gabi: I’m sorry. I can’t do this.

Belle: It’s like I have just woke up from this horrible nightmare.

Shawn: What did jake tell you?

Belle: That the devil morphed me into him to cause trouble for him and gabi. Well, he didn’t really tell me that, but we kind of figured out that’s what happened. Why won’t you look at me? Oh, god, there’s more, isn’t there?

Shawn: You know what? I think that you’ve probably dealt with enough today, so we should just–

Belle: No, please just tell me, what else did I do?

Shawn: Look, jake wasn’t the only person that you morphed into. You also morphed into ej.

Belle: Why?

Shawn: To get chad to think that this brother assaulted abigail.

Chad: You want me to blame the devil for framing ej? Who’s gonna believe that?

Kate: No one. Unless they hear a confession from the one person who is perfectly positioned to ensure that ej was found guilty.

Chad: You mean…

Kate: Yeah. His defense attorney. Belle brady.

Clyde: I don’t know what it is you think I did, ej.

Ej: It’s not what I think you did. It’s what I know you did. I just remembered you’re the son of a bitch who had me shot.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Kate: Okay, I’m no lawyer, but belle had the means and the opportunity to frame ej. First, the means. Almost everyone in salem has either heard or seen exactly what the devil can do when he takes possession of someone. The opportunity. She worked at dimera. She had access to ej’s computer. She had many chances to plant the evidence that would connect ej with sami’s kidnapper.

Chad: But you’re leaving out motive. Why would she want her client to go to prison?

Kate: Chad, she’s possessed by the devil, okay? What does he want? He wants chaos and misery. He wanted to drive a wedge between you and ej.

Chad: Which is why he morphed into ej and kissed abigail in front of me.

Kate: And which is why we will have no problem whatsoever convincing ej and belle herself that she’s the one who set it up.

Belle: What did I do when I was ej?

Shawn: It wasn’t you. It was the devil, all right?

Belle: What did I do, shawn?

Shawn: Before ej’s trial, you got abigail alone in a room, and you forced a kiss on her right before chad walked in.

Belle: So that’s why chad was so sure it happened, and ej insisted that he didn’t know what they were talking about.

Chad: It wasn’t ej.

Belle: It was me.

Chad: No, it was satan.

Belle: But why? What did he want?

Shawn: I guess he just wanted to make sure that chad would send ej to prison.

Clyde: You know, I think as someone who claims to be falsely convicted for the crime he’s in here for, you’d be a bit more careful about throwing around baseless accusations like that.

Ej: Oh, can you not insult my intelligence by denying what we both know is true?

Clyde: Like I said, ej, I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Ej: For weeks now, I’ve been getting little flashes about that day in the woods.

Clyde: Flashes?

Ej: I couldn’t even see who it was. Until now when the whole memory came flooding back. You were there, and it was your man who pulled the trigger.

Clyde: Okay.

Ej: Okay, okay?

Clyde: Okay, I was–

Ej: That’s your response? Okay?

Clyde: Okay, I was hoping you’d never remember it, but now you do. So what’s done is done, right?

Ej: Why did you give that order?

Clyde: Well, I didn’t exactly, my boy, miguel, he just got a little trigger-happy.

Ej: Yes, yes, very happy.

Clyde: Well, if it’s any consolation to you, he’s now fish food at the bottom of the lake of the ozarks. You know, good help is hard to find these days.

Ej: So this is just a joke to you?

Clyde: Is that too soon for you, ej? Okay. Ej, I’m sorry… for the misunderstanding…

Ej: Misunderstanding?

Clyde: In the park.

Ej: I was shot and left for dead.

Clyde: Yeah, but you’re not dead, right? Dr. Rolf brought you back. So the way I see it, no harm, no foul.

Ej: No harm, no harm? I lost everything in my life that I hold dear. And you’re the one who took it from me.

[Phone line trilling]

Jake: Gabi, it’s me. Listen, I need to talk to you. I know you didn’t believe me when I told you I didn’t betray you, but I got proof now. It’s a long story, and it’s too crazy to leave on your voicemail so I’m coming to the office so we can talk face to face.

Johnny: Did I do something wrong?

Gabi: Nope. No, you didn’t do anything.

Johnny: Then I don’t see why this can’t happen.

Gabi: Because it can’t, like I told you before.

Johnny: Before that kiss, which was pretty incredible, if you ask me, and I can see that it affected you, too.

Gabi: Kate gave a million reasons why I shouldn’t trust you.

Johnny: Well, kate would know about being untrustworthy.

Gabi: She’s right though.

Johnny: Maybe, or maybe I’m the one who should be careful. Maybe I shouldn’t trust you.

Gabi: What is that supposed to mean?

Johnny: Look, I’ve known from the start that you and jake are using me to take over dimera.

Gabi: I offered to be your partner.

Johnny: Oh, you offered a hell of a lot more than that. Yeah, you made me think that you wanted to be with me in the bedroom so that you could have your way with me in the boardroom.

Gabi: That’s not true.

Johnny: I’m not even upset about it, okay? It’s who you are. It’s in your nature.

Gabi: And you think you know what’s in my nature?

Johnny: I think that you wouldn’t have become the successful businesswoman that you are if you didn’t leverage all your assets.

Gabi: I’m not like that.

Johnny: Really? So then you weren’t playing me just now when you kissed me?

Gabi: Maybe.

Johnny: Well, when I kissed you back, then and just now, that wasn’t part of a game, part of some plan. Business is not what I feel when I’m around you.

Gabi: And what do you feel?

Johnny: I want you, gabriella. And you may have pulled back, but I can see that you want me, too. So the question is, are you gonna take what you want? This is the sound of nature breathing.

Chanel: So did I tell you that I decided to drop my lawsuit against johnny?

Allie: Really?

Chanel: Yeah. You know, your brother’s letting tr recast my part and yours, too. They’re tearing up our contracts.

Allie: Well, that’s good.

Chanel: I’m just ready to put this whole thing behind me, the marriage, the movie, the devil.

Allie: I’m sorry johnny hurt you, dupree.

Chanel: Thanks, horton. But I don’t wanna focus on him right now.

Allie: What do you wanna focus on?

Chanel: Oh, I don’t know. You.

Allie: Are we really doing this?

Chanel: I sure hope so.

[Soft music]

Gabi: What is it about you?

Johnny: You tell me.

Gabi: I don’t know what it is, but a part of me finds it almost impossible to resist you.

Johnny: What part is that?

Gabi: Oh, you know what? I have learned in the past that it’s not good for me to give in to temptations whenever I play with fire. I’m usually the one that gets burned, so…

Johnny: You think I’m gonna burn you?

Gabi: You know, I think you and I should just stick to business.

Johnny: You know you don’t wanna leave. You wanna stay here with me. Gabi hernandez always goes after what she wants, right?

Gabi: You’re right. I do go after what I want.

Chad: It’s just not right, kate. I mean, belle already feels terrible for what she did so for me to pin my sins on her–

Kate: Come on, you’re not pinning them on her. You’re pinning them on the prince of darkness. And, actually, you know, an argument could be made that he’s the one who tempted you to screw with your brother in the first place. It’s practically biblical.

Chad: That’s a stretch.

Kate: No, it’s not a stretch. Listen to me. The devil, he wanted ej in prison. He used you to make it happen. I think actually he would like some credit. And my plan ensures that he gets it.

Belle: I hurt so many people I care about.

Shawn: Hey, you weren’t in control of your actions. Everybody knows that.

Belle: Ej hired me to represent him, to save his life, and instead, I’m the reason he’s behind bars.

Shawn: It wasn’t you, belle.

Belle: Even so, I can’t help but feel responsible. I just don’t think I could live with myself if something happened to him in that hellhole.

Ej: Do you know what you’ve done to me? You took years from my life. Dr. Rolf and my sister kristen brought me back. But I was barely alive, trapped in a body that couldn’t move. My recovery was agonizing and excruciatingly slow.

Clyde: Yeah, well, I’m not saying you didn’t have it rough.

Ej: Rough, rough? In the time you stole from me, my children grew up. My wife, samantha, the love of my life, grew distant.

Clyde: You can’t blame me for your crappy love life.

Ej: I couldn’t be the husband she needed so I pushed her away into the arms of another man.

Clyde: Why the hell would you do that?

Ej: She was my light. And I didn’t want to infect her with the bitterness and anger that had consumed me, all because of the bullet your henchman put in me. You took everything that was good in my life and left nothing but misery.

Clyde: Oh, boo-hoo, ej. So your life was ruined. Well, join the club. Question is, what are you gonna do about it? We hit the bike trails every weekend

Allie: Hey, guys.

Ciara: Hey.

Ben: Hello.

Allie: I don’t think you guys have been formally introduced. Chanel, this is my cousin, ciara, and her husband, ben. Ben and ciara, this is chanel.

Chanel: Nice to meet you.

Ben: Nice to meet you, too.

Ciara: Yeah, we’ve heard a lot about you.

Allie: Listen, what you guys just walked in on–

Ciara: No, you don’t have to explain, please.

Allie: No, but I want to. You might have heard that tripp and I broke up.

Ciara: I did hear about that. I’m sorry.

Allie: Thanks, yeah. Well, we broke up, and chanel is getting divorced from johnny, and we’ve had this attraction to each other for a while. So now that we’re both single–

Chanel: We’re seeing where it goes.

Ben: Hey.

Ciara: Good for you. As long as my cousin is happy.

Chanel: It sounds like we all want the same thing.

Ben: Sounds like it.

Chanel: So, is it–do we know if it’s a boy or a girl yet?

Ciara: No, not yet. And, actually, we were wondering if you can answer that question for us.

Belle: Do you see anything that I don’t?

Shawn: There’s no marks there, belle. The devil’s gone. Your dad made sure of that. Where you going?

Belle: I’m gonna go to the prison and tell ej what happened.

Shawn: What, right now?

Belle: Why wait?

Shawn: Because you just went through hell, and ej’s not going anywhere. Look, I’m just saying, it can wait till tomorrow.

Belle: I’m not gonna be able to sleep. Maybe I’m not responsible for what I did when I was possessed, but I’m certainly responsible for what I do now.

Shawn: You’re gonna try to fix this.

Belle: I put my client in prison, so I’m gonna do everything I can to get him out.

Ej: You said your parole hearing was moved up to this afternoon.

Clyde: Yeah, so?

Ej: You sounded so confident that the board would let you out. I wonder how they would feel about your rehabilitation after I tell them about your role in my shooting.

Clyde: You wouldn’t do that.

Ej: Wouldn’t I?

Clyde: Hold on. You do not want to rat me out.

Ej: No, I really do. And I have 2,705 reasons why.

Clyde: What’s that number?

Ej: That’s the number of days since I took that bullet. And every single day that I was conscious, I thought about what I would do to that bastard that left me for dead in that park. Now I finally get that chance.

Clyde: Hold on, man. You wanna think twice before you rat me out in front of the parole board.

Ej: Yeah, why’s that?

Clyde: Because if you cost me my chance of freedom, I’m gonna be right back here with you in our cozy little cell, in a very bad mood.

Ej: Is that a threat?

Clyde: No, that’s just a fact. Now, I have apologized to you. People who know me know that that’s not something I usually do. So my advice to you is to accept that apology for your health. And leave what’s in the past dead and buried, where it belongs.

[Tense music]

Ej: But the past isn’t dead and buried, weston. In fact, for me, it’s still very much alive.

Chad: You and I both know that ej isn’t the one that kidnapped sami. Lucas is.

Kate: So?

Chad: So the truth doesn’t matter anymore?

Kate: What matters is that you have three choices. You can either throw my son, lucas, under the bus, you can take the fall for everything that happened, or you can pin it all on the guy with the horns and the pitchfork. That’s your call.

Jake: What the hell is this? We treat our faces to the best skin care.

Shawn: It’s good seeing you.

Chad: You too. Figured I’d come in to check on belle, see how she’s doing now that she’s free of the–

Shawn: Free of the devil?

Chad: Yeah, that.

Shawn: Yeah, it’s a lot. I had to break the news to her about all the things that she did that she doesn’t remember. So she’s still trying to, you know, process it all.

Chad: Is she resting?

Shawn: No, actually, you just missed her. She just went to statesville prison to visit your brother.

Belle: Ej.

Ej: Belle!

Belle: I need to talk to you.

Ej: Are you all right?

Belle: I’m fine, are you?

Ej: Yes, but I was worried about you. My mother was here, and she told me everything.

Belle: Everything?

Ej: Is it true? Were you possessed by the devil?

Belle: I was. And I’m also the reason you’re stuck here in prison.

Ciara: So at my sonogram appointment, the doctor printed out the sex of the baby and put it in this envelope, sealed.

Ben: And after we discussed it for a while, we decided to wait.

Ciara: Uh-huh, but we knew that that was gonna be hard, so we gave it to my brother so we wouldn’t be tempted.

Allie: Okay, but shawn gave it back?

Ben: Well, after belle got possessed, that kind of changed things.

Chanel: Oh, yeah, we know. I saw her at the dimera mansion. Her eyes were all freaky and glowy.

Ben: Yeah, that was probably pretty–

Chanel: Intense.

Ben: Intense, yeah.

Chanel: Yeah.

Ciara: Yeah, anyway, belle is okay now, thank god, but while the devil was in her, it took a peek at the envelope.

Allie: He opened the envelope?

Ciara: Mm-hmm, that’s right, which is why it is no longer sealed.

Allie: Okay, I can’t believe I’m even asking this, but why would the devil care if your baby’s a boy or girl?

Ben: The truth is, we don’t know why, but the devil had designs on our baby.

Allie: Designs?

Ciara: He wanted to take our baby.

Chanel: Oh, god, that’s so scary.

Ciara: Yeah, but he’s gone now and hopefully for good this time.

Gabi: What are you doing here?

Jake: Oh, what am I–we’re broken up for, what, five minutes, and you’re already doing it with somebody else?

Gabi: It’s been longer than five minutes. And what’s it to you? You looked at me in the eye, you told me you loved me, and then you stabbed me in the back?

Jake: Okay, you didn’t get my message.

Gabi: What message?

Jake: The message that I left you where I said I didn’t do any of that stuff. That I have proof!

Gabi: What are you talking about?

Jake: I know what happened, gabi.

Gabi: Yeah, so do I. You stabbed me in the back so you could be ceo of dimera.

Jake: No, you don’t understand, that wasn’t me you heard talking to maggie, it was somebody else!

Gabi: Who was it?

Jake: It was the devil.

Gabi: The devil made you do it, that is your defense?

Jake: I didn’t say the devil made me do it. The devil did it all by himself.

Gabi: Okay, what exactly are you saying?

Jake: I’m saying that it’s satan, or lucifer, whatever the hell you wanna call him! Okay, satan stole maggie’s phone and sent me that text message. He drew up the documents that made it look like I stole your dimera shares. He made the deal with maggie.

Gabi: I heard you, jake.

Jake: Yes, because that’s what he wanted you to hear. He morphed into me, okay? So that you would overhear the conversation, and you would you think I betrayed you.

Gabi: You must think I’m really gullible, huh? The devil left marlena at christmas.

Jake: Yeah, now he’s in somebody else. My a1c stayed here,

Allie: So, you’re saying that you want us to tell you the sex of your baby?

Ciara: Well, not yet.

Ben: We were thinking that maybe we’d have one of those gender reveal parties, and maybe you girls could make us the cake.

Chanel: Oh, like the ones that you cut into that’s either pink or blue?

Ciara: Mm-hmm, exactly that. Do you think you guys could do that?

Allie: Yeah, we would love to do that.

Ciara: Wow, okay, great, amazing. Just please promise to not tell us once you open the envelope.

Ben: Yeah, we just wanna be surprised like everybody else.

Allie: Okay

Chanel: All right. Ooh, this is so exciting, I like this. You don’t get a lot of top secret missions in the baking biz.

Allie: Yeah, chanel likes a little bit of drama in her life.

Chanel: Oh, so do you, horton.

Allie: Okay, well, we will make sure that no one but us knows if your baby is a boy or girl.

Chane: Not until both of you cut into that cake.

Gabi: Okay, I’ll play along. Who did the devil go into?

Johnny: It was my aunt belle.

Gabi: Belle is possessed?

Jake: Belle was possessed.

Johnny: It’s true. She knocked me over the head, tried to kill my grandmother.

Gabi: What?

Johnny: Yeah, she was choking my grandma marlena, squeezing the life out of her. Her eyes were like glowing. Weird.

Gabi: My god, how long has this been going on?

Johnny: I guess the devil jumped into her on christmas at my grandma’s exorcism.

Gabi: Poor belle.

Johnny: Look, man, I had no idea she was doing any of this to you.

Jake: Still didn’t stop you from you taking advantage of the situation, now, did it?

Johnny: Oh, like you’ve never taken advantage of anyone.

Jake: The hell’s that supposed to mean, pal?

Johnny: Look, I know you and gabi were using me, stringing the kid along, using him for his shares. But as I was just telling her, I’m willing to forgive and forget.

Jake: Is that right?

Johnny: In fact, we were just starting to kiss and make up when you walked in.

Jake: You little son of a–

Gabi: Johnny, can you please give jake and I two minutes, please, alone?

Johnny: You know where to find me when you need me.

Gabi: So this was all belle?

Jake: Yeah, maggie’s phone was in belle’s bag. The stefan document was on belle’s laptop.

Gabi: So you didn’t do any of this?

Jake: No, gabi, I didn’t betray you. And I never would. Sure as hell didn’t take you very long to betray me though.

Belle: You put your faith in me to defend you. I convinced you not to run, and I failed you.

Ej: You were possessed by the devil; how could that possibly be your fault?

Belle: You don’t understand. I am the reason that your trial fell apart.

Ej: Chad was the one who lied on the stand.

Belle: But he only did that because of me.

Ej: What do you mean?

Belle: I guess your mom didn’t tell you everything.

Ej: About what?

Belle: Okay, you remember how chad and abigail swore that you kissed her at the courthouse?

Ej: And I told you it wasn’t me.

Belle: No, I know that. I believed you, and now I know that it wasn’t you. Because it was me.

Chad: Johnny told me everything so I know that it was belle, not ej, that kissed abby.

Shawn: Yeah, well, it was, and it wasn’T.

Chad: Because she doesn’t remember anything.

Shawn: I mean, she doesn’t remember the kiss, she doesn’t remember anything that she did to hurt anybody. I hated breaking the news to her.

Chad: I can’t even imagine what she’s going through.

Shawn: I mean, she knows that it’s not her fault, but still, I mean, she’s still dealing with the guilt.

Chad: Well, will you please tell her that I don’t blame her for anything? It’s actually why I stopped by.

Shawn: Yeah, no, I appreciate that. Yeah, absolutely.

[Cell phone rings] Oh, it’s kate. I’ll call her back.

Chad: No, actually, you should–just take it.

Shawn: Hey, kate.

Kate: Hey, shawn, I was wondering if you have any updates on philip.

Shawn: No, I’m sorry, I don’t have anything to share about his case.

Kate: Yeah, no, I understand. I know it’s been designated a cold case. That’s why victor and i hired a private detective to search for him.

Shawn: Well, I hope you get some answers.

Kate: Yeah, I do too. Look, would it be possible for you to send over a copy of philip’s police report?

Shawn: Yeah, sure, yeah, when I get back to the station I can email it to you.

Kate: Look, shawn, I know that you have a lot going on with belle and all, but could you possibly do that now?

Shawn: Yeah, no problem. I mean, I have to check in there anyway, so I’ll email it to you asap.

Kate: Oh, you don’t know how much I appreciate that. Thanks.

Shawn: Good luck. Well, I got to head back down to the station.

Chad: Do you actually mind if I wait here for belle? I’d love to be able to tell her how I feel in person.

Shawn: Yeah, absolutely, no problem. I’m sure she’ll appreciate it. Hey, take care.

Chad: See you.

Shawn: All right, see you.

[Tense music]

Belle: I don’t remember any of this. So I can only assume that he sensed that chad was having a change of heart about testifying against you.

Ej: Hmm. And what would turn chad against me faster than convincing him I was after abigail? But how did he–

Belle: Please don’t ask me to explain any of this. But somehow he morphed me into you–

Ej: And then forcibly kissed abigail.

Belle: Just in time for chad to walk in on it.

Ej: I got to say, if I were chad, I would’ve wanted me locked up, too.

Chad: Okay, I plugged the flash drive into the computer. What do I do next?

Kate: Just wait. It’s gonna automatically upload the paper trail that lucas put on ej’s computer, and it’s gonna look like that’s where the file was created.

Chad: I still can’t believe I’m planting evidence on a computer to frame somebody for planting evidence on a computer.

Kate: You’re framing the devil. I don’t think he’s gonna be offended.

Chad: Well, it still feels wrong.

[Computer beeps] Okay, it’s done.

Kate: Okay, good, good.

[Cell phone beeps] And shawn, he just sent through the police file on philip. So he’ll probably be going back to the house. You need to get out of there fast before anyone realizes why you really stuck around.

Gabi: Jake, I–

Jake: You were about to have sex with him when I walked in right there on your desk.

Gabi: I thought–

Jake: You thought–

Gabi: Everything we’ve been through, I just–

Jake: You thought wrong! I didn’t do any of that stuff! And what the hell? We were partners in everything!

Gabi: I believe you.

Jake: Yeah, you do now. What about when it happened?

Gabi: When you were talking with maggie, I was just upset, I was–

Jake: You just… why not confront me, huh? Look me in the eye and give me the chance! Give us the chance to see what the hell was going on!

Gabi: I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know, okay? It’s just what I do when I think someone is hurting me. And you’re right, you’re so right, I should’ve trusted you, I should’ve trusted us!

Jake: Nah. A lot of good that does us now.

Gabi: Where are you going?

Jake: I don’t know.

Gabi: Jake, is there any way that there could still be an us? Is there any way that you can forgive me?

Ben: I never thought I would ever be this excited to cut into a cake.

Ciara: Well, it is not every day that a piece of cake can change your life.

Ben: Mm-hmm.

Ciara: So, what do you think? Pink or blue?

Ben: I don’t care what color this cake is. My life is already perfect.

[Knocking on door]

[Groans]

Clyde: Hello, son.

Allie: So exciting that I’m gonna be the first one to know if my cousin is having a boy or a girl.

Chanel: Well, second. The devil was actually the first.

Allie: Okay, way to ruin the moment, dupree.

Chanel: Just saying.

Allie: Should I open it? Should I peek?

Chanel: Now?

Allie: Why not?

Chanel: Mm. Okay, so what does it say? Is it boy or girl?

Allie: Well, you know, i don’t think that there’s any reason that we both need to know. So I’ll just bake the cake when you’re not around.

Chanel: Are you kidding me?

Allie: What?

Chanel: Come on, I need to know, horton. Spill the tea.

Allie: Why do you care?

Chanel: Because I do. And this is not a good way to start our relationship. So come on, there shouldn’t be any secrets.

Allie: Well, maybe just this one secret between us.

Chanel: No, come on, let me have it.

Allie: No, you’re not allowed to see what’s inside.

Chanel: Come on, you–

Allie: No!

Chanel: You’re so–

Allie: No, no, no, no, no.

Johnny: Don’t you two girls make the sweetest couple? It’s my 4:05, the-show-must-go-on,

Shawn: Chad? Guess he couldn’t stay.

[Tense music]

Chad: Here you go. What are you gonna do with it?

Kate: Well, I’m gonna destroy it, and then I’m gonna pretend it never existed.

Chad: Are you sure that belle’s gonna confess when she finds out it’s on her computer?

Kate: Of course she’s gonna be horrified when she finds out what she did while she was possessed. But as always, belle will do the right thing.

Chad: Well, then it won’t be long until ej’s free.

Belle: I think that we can use this information for your appeal. We can argue ineffective assistance of counsel.

Ej: My mother had the same idea. And as I told her, I doubt the court will be swayed by the argument that my attorney was possessed by the devil.

Belle: Well, we can at least make the attempt. I’m gonna file your appeal as soon as I get home.

Ej: Thank you, belle. Can I ask you something?

Belle: Of course.

Ej: My mother said that you were possessed at christmas. So that means the whole time you were representing me, all those conversations we had where you said you believed in me, it wasn’t you?

Belle: Oh, no, that was me. I think. I mean, I remember all of that.

Ej: What does that mean?

Belle: I don’t know. All I know is I need to get you out of here. And I will.

[Cell phone beeps]

Ej: What is it?

Belle: Looks like you’re getting a new cellmate. Clyde weston just made parole.

Ben: Dad, did you escape from statesville again?

Clyde: Didn’t have to bust out this time; you’re looking at a genuine parolee.

Ben: What?

Ciara: You made parole?

Clyde: Yes, ma’am, on the condition that I have a roof over my head, living with a responsible person. And I figure who could be more responsible than the soon-to-be-parents of my baby grandchild? By the way, what are we having, a boy or a girl?

Johnny: So you two are together now?

Chanel: So what if we are?

Johnny: You’re right. So what? We all have what we want, right? Chanel, I heard you’re dropping the lawsuit.

Chanel: Yeah. Yeah, because you agreed to take us out of your movie. Tr said that you already recast our parts.

Johnny: It’s a shame. You would’ve been great.

Allie: It’s better this way for everyone.

Johnny: Are we having a boy or a girl?

[Tense music]

Surprise, surprise. That’ll work.

Johnny: You’re right. Besides, I have much more important things to worry about. So you two have fun.

Jake: Okay, even if I could forgive you, the hell’s this mean for our relationship, huh?

Gabi: The devil did this to us.

Jake: And it was so easy for him to get you to turn on me, to tear us apart. It made me realize we’re not as strong as either of us thought we were.

Gabi: Jake, I still want–

Jake: No, no, no, you got exactly what you wanted. Ceo of dimera enterprises. Congratulations. Nothing else matters to you.

Steffy: I knew thomas was hiding something. He’s been so intense, shutting me out.

Finn: And why is he in the alley talking with sheila?

Steffy: That’s what I want to know. What has my brother gotten himself into?

Brooke: You said that we could get through anything. For better or for worse, in sickness or in health. You said that.

Ridge: I did. But those were not the only vows we made that day.

Brooke: I know. I know I hurt you and I continue to hurt you. I just… want to know if you still believe that we can get through anything–

Ridge: Logan. Logan. I came here to check on you. Make sure you’re not drinking.

Brooke: Because that’s what we do. We check on each other. I made the worst mistake I’ve ever made by letting you go, ridge, and I want you back. You’re my husband. Come home. Be my husband.

Finn: Okay, uh, maybe I’ve missed something. Just walk me through this again.

Steffy: Thomas has been acting really strange and whenever I ask him what’s wrong, he dodges the question.

Finn: You said the phone conversation that you overheard with thomas was intense?

Steffy: Yeah, I tried to ask him about it and he wouldn’t open up. And then he left the office. So i– I followed him.

Finn: And when you saw them together, what did they look like? Was– was it confrontational?

Steffy: I couldn’t really tell from where I was standing but it was clear that they wanted their privacy.

Finn: Why didn’t you just confront them?

Steffy: I wanted to do that! But I didn’t want to give sheila a chance to spin some kind of story so she could defend herself.

Finn: This is weird, steffy. Especially knowing how thomas feels about sheila.

Steffy: Something is going on with thomas. I need to know what it is.

[ Knocking on door ]

Taylor: Hey sweetie! I heard you were working late. Thought you might want to go grab a bite to eat with your old mom. Is everything okay?

Thomas: Yeah.

Taylor: Thomas, you can’t hide from me. I can tell something’s wrong. What is it?

Ridge: You want me to come home?

Brooke: Yes, I do. You know, I– I know I set you free. But… I mean, really, who does that? It’s really kind of silly, actually, because when you want something so bad, when you want that thing or person in your life, you don’t just set them free. Gotta hold onto it. Right? I mean… we’ve been through too much together, ridge. Just too much to let it end like this. We can’T.

[ Sighs ] I love you and I miss you. And I want you to come back. I do. So just please, please come home. Please be with me. Be ready for whatever life throws your way.

Steffy: We both know this wouldn’t be the first time thomas’ gotten himself into something.

Finn: But we don’t even know what this is yet.

Steffy: I think he could be in trouble.

Finn: Steffy–

Steffy: If he’s having conversations with sheila, like, no good can come from that.

Finn: But what if it can? Maybe thomas is acting strange because your parents are getting closer.

Steffy: That would make him act strange?

Finn: Well, yeah, because, uh, it’s something that he’s always hoped for. And now that it’s happening, he’s– he’s thinking it’s too good to be true. You both know what it’s like to watch your parents’ relationship fall apart.

Steffy: Yeah, but brooke is out of the picture. It’s like no way my father’s going back to her.

Finn: But brooke isn’t the only threat to your family. Maybe thomas met with sheila to put her on notice. Maybe he’s just trying to protect you guys.

Steffy: Protect us?

Finn: Well, think about it, the idea of your parents finally reuniting, maybe he’s just trying to make sure that nothing gets in the way of that.

Steffy: Why doesn’t he just tell me? Why is he trying to hide it?

Finn: Well, because of me. Sheila’s my birth mother. You’re my wife and he knows how much tension that caused when she first arrived. Maybe he thought if he told you, it’d would just add to it. Look. Thomas, he’s thrilled about taylor and ridge.

Steffy: So thrilled that he’s trying to protect it. I mean, it does make sense. As weird as my brother is acting, there’s nothing he wouldn’t do to get our parents back together.

Taylor: Thomas, what’s going on?

Thomas: Mom, you don’t need to worry about me.

Taylor: Okay, well, too bad. I’m your mom, so.

Thomas: I’m asking you to trust me. I’m okay. All right? I’m better than okay. You and dad are getting back together–

Taylor: Ah, you’re deflecting.

Thomas: I’m not.

Taylor: Yeah, you are.

Thomas: No, I’m not. I’m not deflecting–

Taylor: Mm.

Thomas: You and dad finally have another chance together and that’s amazing. It is, but if I seem out of sorts, maybe it’s just because I’ve recognized that’s happened before. And obviously, you didn’t end up together, so. I guess I’m just a little worried.

Taylor: I understand. Look, this is not at all what I expected when I came back to L.A. You know, your father and I share a very special bond. With everything that’s going on we’ve– we’ve been reconnecting and it’s been really nice, so. Thomas?

Thomas: Yeah, you, um, you do have a special bond. You guys love each other genuinely. And you’re such a loving person, you’re– you’re– you’re amazing. I mean, you– what you poured into me, the amount of help you gave me when I was going through everything I went through, I–

Taylor: Honey, you did all the work. I– I wish that I would have been there.

Thomas: No, heh, I don’t– I don’t agree with that. You definitely did a lot of work. It doesn’t really matter, look, what I’m saying is that you… you’re an incredibly loving person. And you pour that out of yourself to people, you genuinely want to help people. And that love shines through day and night for you. And I want to make sure that you have someone in your life that pours that kind of love into you. And the way that I see dad with you, it seems like he does. He loves you like that. And I just want to make sure that nothing gets in the way of that.

Brooke: I’ve made terrible mistakes, I know that. I’ve broken your heart and I hate myself for that. But honestly, ridge, I wouldn’t be asking you to come home if I didn’t think we could get through this. ‘Cause you are my destiny. And we’ve taken this amazing, wonderful, exciting yet sometimes painful road. And we’ve gone on this road together, ridge. Has been an incredible journey. It has. And I don’t want it to end. And I don’t think you do, either. Let’s just do this, okay? Let’S… go down this road together. We can do it. What do you say? When tired, achy feet make your whole body want to stop,

Finn: Look, I understand your concern. But as far as sheila goes, she seems to be on her best behavior. Spending christmas eve with us– it gave her hope. I didn’t get the impression that she’d be willing to risk all the progress that she made.

Steffy: And thomas?

Finn: He’s probably just protecting his family.

Steffy: Yeah. Maybe.

Finn: Hey, come here. Thomas is going to be okay. All right? Everyone is.

Steffy: This is nice.

Finn: Yeah, it is.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Do you hear that?

Steffy: No, I don’t hear anything.

Finn: Exactly. Kids are asleep. Everyone’s gone.

Steffy: And I ruined your surprise dinner plans by getting home before you.

Finn: Luckily, I think quick on my feet. So why don’t I check on the kids and you meet me in the bedroom?

Ridge: What are we doing here, huh? I didn’t– I didn’t come here tonight to– to have you beg my forgiveness. I– I’m here because I was concerned about you. I still am.

Brooke: Well, I still haven’t had a drink if that’s what you’re getting at, and I’m not tempted to–

Ridge: You were tempted, new year’s eve. And we still don’t know what triggered you. And I don’t want that to happen again.

Brooke: Well, I’m not triggered now,

Ridge: I can’t do this with you.

Brooke: I’m not, ridge. I’m not triggered now. I don’t want to drink. All I want is you.

Finn: It’s been too long. I’m steve, I lost 138 pounds in nine months on golo

Steffy: How did you do this so quickly?

Finn: I have my ways. There also might be a pile of dirty clothes under the bed.

Steffy: Okay. And the rose petals…

Finn: Mm, I can’t reveal all my secrets. I’ve been waiting for a night like this. A night where it’S… just us.

Steffy: Me too.

Finn: And I don’t know what I did to deserve you. I am the luckiest man in the world. I fall more in love with you every minute, every day. You are… you’re fire, you’re strength, you– you’re a total bad ass. But you’re warm, and you’re sensitive, and sexy.

Steffy: Even when I’m covered in spit up?

Finn: Especially then. You have brought… so much… into my life. And I’m looking forward to a long and happy future with you. I love you.

Steffy: I love you.

Nowhere I’d rather be

than right here

with you next to me

sunlight in the cobwebs

in the air

lying on our backs

without a care in the world

almost too good to be real

cause this is how love

used to feel

and I think most every

moment with you

is a reverie

woah!

[ Emotional strings play ]

Every moment with you

is a reverie

Taylor: I know how– how happy you are that your dad and I are reconnecting but it’s not your responsibility to bring us back together, you know?

Thomas: I know it’s not my responsibility but if there’s something I can do then I will. You’ve sacrificed so much to help so many people. I mean, when’s it your turn to be happy? To have other people sacrifice for you? And look, dad gives you the kind of love and fulfillment that you deserve. And you obviously give that back to him.

Taylor: You make it sound all poetic, like your father and I are soul mates.

Thomas: You’re not?

Taylor: Honey, I love your dad so much. I– I really do. That has never changed. After all these years, even the thought of him makes my heart skip a beat. But with everything that’s going on with brooke, um, I don’t want to admit that I– I’d love to have a life with him and get a second chance. But, I do hope that. I really do.

Thomas: I hope so, too.

Brooke: What happened that night doesn’t change how much I love you. Is that so hard to believe?

Ridge: I don’t know what to believe, anymore.

Brooke: You do, ridge. You know what to believe. You know you can believe that I love you with my entire being. Look, I understand why you can’t be here with me. I do. Just know that I will wait. I will wait for as long as you need me to. Because I will always love you. And I know you will always love me, too.

Ridge: Hey. You’re right. I love you. I will always love you.

Victor: Glad you could make it, son.

Nick: Yeah. Sounded urgent. What’s up?

Victor: I wanted to thank you for reaching out to nate.

Nick: Yeah. Did it do any good?

Victor: [ Sighs ] A world of it.

Nick: What’d he do?

Victor: He got a hold of ashland locke’s medical records, of the scans that were taken at memorial after his heart attack.

Nick: Did he find something?

Victor: He found nothing. The images are clear. There’s no sign of cancer. Ashland locke is the picture of health.

Nick: Well, that’s when he received his terminal diagnosis for cancer. What about all his appointments for treatment?

Victor: No appointments, no prescriptions, no chemotherapy.

Nick: Son of a bitch. You know, for him to lie about something like this just so he could manipulate victoria and get his hands on newman enterprises — there’s a special place in hell for somebody like this.

Victor: You got it. And since he refused to do the only decent thing he should have done — namely, to leave town — it’s imperative upon us to show victoria the evidence that she has been betrayed.

Nick: Well, whatever punishment he gets is too good for him. I sincerely hope victoria boots his ass out of the company and out of her life for good, and then he’ll get whatever karmic payback he deserves.

Victor: But you know a lot of this is now in victoria’s hands.

Nick: I’m guessing I know what the next move is. I’ll call in reinforcements.

Victor: [ Breathes deeply ]

Ashland: Ah. Good morning.

Victoria: You’re early.

Ashland: Yeah. Ah. I, uh — I’m actually surprised I beat you here. I thought we were gonna drive in together this morning.

Victoria: Oh, I’m sorry. I actually had some errands to run.

Ashland: Yeah, imagine my surprise when I came downstairs and you weren’t there.

[ Chuckles ]

Victoria: Is there something that you wanted to discuss?

Ashland: Well, actually, i was gonna ask you the same thing. I — I mean, the way you were tossing and turning last night.

Victoria: Oh. Was I? I hope I didn’t keep you up. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, right?

Ashland: Well, that’s kind of my point, actually. Um, you’re not alone in this anymore. We’re — we’re equal partners now. So whatever’s bothering you also would be bothering me.

Victoria: I am — I’m just beyond furious at my father for setting this in motion.

Ashland: I can see that.

Victoria: If word got out that you supposedly faked your cancer diagnosis, then —

Ashland: No, no, no, no. I have no intention of letting that happen.

Victoria: Oh?

Ashland: I know exactly what to do, something that will combat what your father is trying to do to us.

Elena: So, what do you think? Do you just want coffee? Or maybe we can split a pastry.

Nate: I’m not hungry, uh, but don’t let me stop you from getting something.

Elena: Hey, look, I know you’re still conflicted about what’s going on with ashland.

Nate: That’s an understatement. I felt like I had no other choice. But I’ve never violated someone’s medical privacy before. I didn’t just access the medical records of someone who was never my patient, but I shared the contents of those files with a third party.

Elena: I know you, nate. You wouldn’t have done it without good reason.

Nate: There was already evidence out there that ashland was lying about his condition. I informed the person whose family and business were directly affected by ashland’s deception.

Elena: So, do you wish you hadn’t given the evidence to victor? I mean, if you could do it all over again, would you change anything?

Nate: No. But I still can’t stop thinking about what could happen after this.

Elena: For the newmans or for ashland?

Nate: Not just them. It also changes everything for me.

Nikki: I just hope this new evidence is enough to change victoria’s mind about ashland.

Adam: Yeah. It’s one thing to try to explain away that doctor in peru’s bank statements, but good luck finding an excuse for cancer-free x-rays and nonexistent chemotherapy appointments.

Nikki: And then to have the gall to try to convince victoria that victor made it all up. He is trying to drive a wedge between her and the rest of us.

Victor: Well, I’m glad we’re all on the same page now.

Adam: Yeah, once I heard what nate had to say, it was a no-brainer. He’s an honest man. I believe him.

Nikki: The evidence speaks for itself. So, what do we do now?

Nick: We need to come to some consensus about how to handle things with victoria.

Adam: I assume the two of you have something in mind?

Nick: Victoria seems to be very resistant to the idea that ashland is lying to her. We really only have one move left, and it’s gonna take all of us to pull it off.

Nate: My, um, so-called friendship with ashland has gone up in flames. And we’ve both heard stories about how he deals with people who cross him.

Elena: What do you think he’s gonna do to you?

Nate: Ruin my reputation.

Elena: He wouldn’T.

Nate: He could, after what i did.

Elena: Look, you crossed the line, but ashland has bigger fish to fry after what he’s done. Besides, if he tries to come for you, he’s gonna have to expose his own deception, and he does not want the truth coming out.

Nate: But if people found out what I did…

Elena: They would probably give you the key to the city for exposing him.

[ Scoffs ] Please stop worrying and stressing about what ashland is going to do next.

Nate: You’re worked up.

[ Chuckles ]

Elena: Yeah. I am. What ashland did was reprehensible. He used you. He got you mixed up in his twisted scheme and made you believe that he appreciated your medical advice when he was really just pretending to be struggling with a deadly disease.

Nate: I thought I was a better judge of character.

Elena: Please don’t blame yourself. Even I feel like I have to question everything he’s ever said to me, every interaction we’ve ever had, because it’s all just been a part of this scheme to take over newman enterprises. That man is shameless. And someone should make him pay.

Nate: Someone like you?

Elena: Let’s just say if i hadn’t taken an oath to do no harm, he would be right at the top of my to-do list.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] Thank you for being outraged on my behalf. And you’re probably right. Ashland won’t waste his time worrying about me when he has bigger fish to fry. The proof is already out there that he lied about his condition, and I confirmed it.

Elena: Yeah. And he didn’t see that coming. He thought he could walk all over you.

Nate: And he did. He had me completely duped, and I’m so mad at myself for falling for it. Knowing what I know now, I can’t believe I was his best man.

Elena: Look, he fooled us all. He even fooled his wife. And she’s spent, like, every hour of the day with him, at the office and then at home. He did his research, and he figured out how to play us all.

Nate: Yeah, that’s true. But it’s still so hard to process. How did I allow a man like that to have so much influence over me? He’s the one who got me thinking about changing my entire career path. And what if I had taken that leap? I’d be working for a man who had absolutely no qualms about lying about his disease, who would have continued manipulating me if the truth hadn’t come out. Now my plans are up in the air. If I’m not gonna work for ashland, what am I gonna do?

Lily: Hey. Just the man I wanted to see.

[ Chuckles ] Hey.

Victoria: You’re planning to “combat” my father? That sounds extreme.

Ashland: Nothing as aggressive as you might imagine.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] What precisely did you have in mind?

Ashland: I think we need to get away for a while. It’s become practically impossible to focus on anything of substance here. Uh, what if we were to escape to the palazzo in tuscany?

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Well, that sounds really nice.

Ashland: Yeah. We could — we could stop in milan. We could, uh, take a couple of weeks to hang with harrison and then spend a few weeks working, of course, but also enjoying the peace and serenity of our italian getaway.

Victoria: Now?

Ashland: Yeah. Now. I think now is the perfect time. It would give me a chance to investigate these slanderous accusations against me. I could — I could be working in a relatively distraction-free zone. Whether it’s your father or whoever it is that’s feeding him this false information, we need to — we need to put a stop to this thing before it gets out of control.

Victoria: I just don’t want people to think that we’re in hiding or — or that we’re running away from these allegations.

Ashland: I don’t need to run away from anything. But I am beginning to wonder… if your father has planted more doubt in your mind than you’re willing to admit.

Nick: So, that’s the plan. We have to move fast.

Adam: Okay. I like it. I do. Don’t get me wrong, but —

Nick: Oh, here we go.

Adam: It’s never gonna work, nick.

Nikki: I’m more worried about how victoria will react. And whether this is successful or not, she may never forgive us.

Victor: We shouldn’t concern ourselves about that right now. Our priority must be to remove ashland locke out of victoria’s life.

Nick: We have to get her alone and make her look at all the evidence while she still has a chance of listening to logic.

Adam: Look, it seems to me that victoria is gonna take ashland’s word over anybody else’S. Besides, he’s already signed the contract making him partner at newman/locke. So, is this too little too late?

Nick: This isn’t about the company. I don’t give a damn what happens to newman/locke. I only care about my sister. Her future and well-being are at risk, and that should be your focus, too.

Adam: Well, of course, but…

Nick: If this was ashland’s plan all along, to merge his company with newman enterprises and then run it single-handedly, victoria could be incidental now, an obstacle that he has to get rid of by any means necessary. I’m steve, I lost 138 pounds in nine months on golo

Lily: Hope you don’t mind that we’re joining you.

Elena: Of course.

Nate: Please.

Lily: Thank you.

Devon: Couldn’t help but overhear you.

Nate: Uh, I believe the legal term is “eavesdropping.”

Lily: [ Laughs ] Yeah, we were eavesdropping. We heard you say that you’re uncertain about your plans for the future?

Nate: Ah, the world is my oyster.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: Oh, yeah? Lily offered you a job at chancellor, and I told you i wouldn’t mind you working at hamilton-winters.

Lily: Yeah, and you turned us both down to work with locke. So, what happened?

Nate: Some things in life don’t work out the way you expect them to. I realized that, um, working for him isn’t the best fit for me.

Lily: Really? In what way?

Nate: Uh… [ Sighs ]

Elena: You know how it goes. You get an offer. It sounds good at first and then you do some digging and you realize that you have a different perspective, and what you want and what they want just doesn’t match up, right?

Nate: That about sums it up.

Lily: Okay. Anything to do with the concerns I raised when you first told me about the job offer?

Elena: Sorry, but what concerns are you talking about?

Lily: Well, I was just talking about, you know, the family politics, the tricky dynamics, the constantly shifting alliances.

Nate: Yeah, that did play a part in it, yes.

Devon: I guess it’s better to politely decline now so you don’t get caught up in anything you’d rather avoid, protect that friendship.

Lily: So, are you gonna stay on at memorial?

Nate: Uh, I’m still leaning towards stepping down as chief of surgery. I just need to figure out my next move.

Lily: Well, in that case, i think devon and I have the perfect solution for you.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Nikki: My god, you don’t actually think that ashland would harm victoria, do you? I mean, I can see him being cutthroat in trying to be the sole ceo, but to actually get rid of his wife?

Nick: Mom, I don’t want to believe that he’s capable of something like that, but we can’t take anything for granted. We do not know how far he’s willing to go.

Adam: But will you think about it? The guy left his best friend to die, and he stole his identity to get ahead. Now, I don’t know about you, but I doubt the part of his story that says there was nothing he could do to save the real ashland locke’s life.

Victor: Listen to me, all of you. No matter what that sob is trying to do, he is not going to harm one hair on victoria’s head. I’m gonna make sure of that.

Nikki: She’s really gonna need us when all of this is over.

Victor: And we will be there. All of us.

Nick: Are you in, adam?

Adam: [ Sighs ] 100%.

Nick: How about you, mom? You up for this? It all starts with you.

Nikki: I’m ready. Anything for my daughter.

Ashland: I know how close the newmans are and how hard it is for you go to against your father.

Victoria: My dad doesn’t make decisions for me. You know that.

Ashland: Yes, but I get the sense that you have doubts about me now. I mean, my god, victoria, the very idea that you would think for a moment that I would deceive you in the way that your father is claiming.

Victoria: You swore to me that none of that was true. So I’m sure you know how I would react if I learned that — that you lied to me again.

Ashland: Our marriage would never survive.

Victoria: You’d have to be both foolish and desperate to think that you could keep me in the dark about something like that and that we would be able to move past it.

Ashland: I take great pride in being neither of those things.

Victoria: You’re brilliant. And you know me very well. You know that I have a great capacity for forgiveness.

[ Sighs ] But there are some lines that cannot be crossed.

Ashland: I get the sense that you think that I’m about to break down and make some kind of confession here?

Victoria: If there is a confession that needs to be made, then now would be the time to make it. Most bladder leak pads were similar.

Lily: Well — sorry. Am I overstepping?

Devon: No. No. Step away.

Lily: No? We’re on the same page?

Devon: Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Lily: Okay.

Nate: Does anybody want to fill us in?

Lily: [ Laughs ] Okay, well, before I go any further, I just really want to stress that this conversation cannot leave this table.

Devon: Yes, no, this is top-secret stuff, guys.

Lily: Yes, very high-level.

Nate: Alright.

Lily: Yeah? Okay. Well, devon and I have decided to join forces.

Devon: Mm-hmm. We’re merging.

Lily: Mm-hmm. Chancellor industries and hamilton-winters as one big happy family.

Elena: What?!

Devon: Yeah.

Nate: That’s great news.

Devon: We just made the decision last night.

Nate: I couldn’t be happier for you.

Elena: Oh, my goodness. Two major corporations turning into one entity?

Lily: Yeah.

Elena: That’s huge.

Lily: I mean, look, we have more details to work out, right?

Devon: Yeah, no, there’s a whole bunch of work before it’s final, but we’re — we’re cautiously optimistic.

Lily: Yeah. Well, that’s devon being devon, crossing all the t’s and being as low-key as possible.

Devon: Well, yeah, sure, sure. I wouldn’t have agreed to it, though, unless I thought we could create something very special.

Lily: Yeah, absolutely. And he’s not just talking about profits. I mean, we want to build something here that we can run together as a family.

Devon: Mm-hmm.

Lily: And we want you to be a part of that, nate, with us.

Ashland: You’re right. There is something I need to confess. It’s a pretty big thing. Earth-shattering.

Victoria: It’s alright. I’m ready to listen.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] Okay. Here it is. I love you. I love you more than I have loved anything in my entire life. You are a gift that I do not deserve. And I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy. That’s it. That’s the confession. Victoria, I can see in your eyes you’re torn between your love for me and your fidelity to your family, that you hate the fact that we are forced to have this conversation.

Victoria: You’re right.

[ Sighs ] I’m so sorry.

Ashland: No. Don’t say that. You have nothing to be sorry for. Your family is breathing down your neck right now. They’re — they’re pushing this idea of some kind of insane conspiracy theory on you. Maybe they think if they say it enough times, you’ll start to believe it. I don’t know. But I’m asking you to shut out that noise. And I think the best way for you to do that is to agree to go away with me.

Victoria: You know changing our locations — it’s not gonna make our problems disappear.

Ashland: I disagree. Dealing with your family’s constant inference is neither a good way for us to function as a couple or to run a company. We need time to focus. I can’t think of a more fitting place than tuscany, where i first pledged my love and my life to you and where you said to me, “love transcends all.”

Victoria: I remember very well.

Ashland: Then let’s do it. Let’s go.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Today?

Ashland: Yeah.

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Ashland: Sure. We’ll just pack a few bags. We’ll get on the jet. We’ll be there before you know it. Say yes.

[ Door opens ]

Nikki: [ Voice breaking ] Oh, victoria. I’m so glad you’re here.

Victoria: Mom. What’s wrong?

Nikki: You’re the only one i could turn to. You’re the — you’re the only one who would understand.

Victoria: What — what happened?

Nikki: It’s a private matter. Could we go someplace where we can be alone, please?

Adam: [ Breathes deeply ] So, what happens if it, uh, doesn’t work out? Do we have a, uh, plan b?

Nick: Can we just let plan a get, like, halfway through?

Adam: Look, I’m just saying that we need to be realistic that we might need a fallback plan.

Nick: Well, it sounds like you have something in mind, adam.

Adam: I floated an idea yesterday, but dad shot it down. So, what happens if victoria come around? Does the board have the power to nullify ashland’s contract? And victoria’s?

Victor: Son, that’s difficult because of the merger.

Adam: Yeah, but it’s not impossible.

Victor: Under no circumstances will you remove victoria from her position.

Nick: There’s no basis for firing her.

Adam: Oh, really? I beg to differ. I’d file this under “incompetence.” The ceo let the proverbial fox into the henhouse. It calls into question her decision-making skills.

Victor: Son.

Adam: I’m just pointing out the truth. When you had your suspicions about ashland, you investigated and you realized he was making a power grab. But victoria —

Nick: I know what you’re trying to do, adam, and I will not let it happen.

Adam: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Nick: You’re trying to spin what happened with victoria and make a power grab of your own.

Adam: [ Chuckles ]

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Devon: I mean, the goal here is to really build a dynasty and to create an empire that we can leave behind for moses and for charlie and mattie, for dominic, and any other future members of the family. But it starts with us.

Lily: Mm-hmm.

Devon: And that can include you.

Lily: I mean, can you imagine what dad would say about all of this?

Devon: Oh, my gosh, that’d be a no-brainer for him. There would be no one who would be more proud or happy.

Lily: Yeah, I mean, he’d ask us what took us so long with that big smile of his.

[ Laughter ]

Devon: And think about it. Dude, when we sign these papers, this is gonna literally go down in our family’s history books.

Lily: I mean, this will be our ancestors’ wildest dreams.

Elena: It’s amazing.

Devon: Yeah.

Nate: I’m not sure where I’d fit in, really.

Devon: I mean, where would you want to fit in? You’re already making this jump to the corporate world. You can blaze your path wherever you’d like.

Nate: It’s a flattering offer. I —

Lily: Well, look, we’re not blowing smoke. I mean, we want you because you’re bright, you have a wealth of knowledge, you know? You bring a lot to the table. And we love you.

Nate: I’ll have to think about it.

Devon: You have to think about it. Okay. Elena, what do you feel about this?

Elena: Um… I mean, I love the idea. I think it would be wonderful for you all to work together as a family. But I also think that nate has to make up his own mind.

Lily: [ Laughs ] Very diplomatic of you. I mean, look, no pressure, nate, but I think we —

Nate: Listen, I applaud your enthusiasm, and I’m sure it’s the perfect move for you, but I’m not sure it’s the right move for me, okay?

Elena: [ Clears throat ]

Nikki: Ashland, I would appreciate it if you would give us some space. I’m sure you have a million things you need to do.

Victoria: Mother, you’re being a little rude and dismissive. I mean, ashland and I — we’re partners, just like you and dad. So if you have something to say, you can say it to both of us.

Nikki: Victoria, if you think I share everything with your father, you are sorely mistaken. Right now I need some privacy with my daughter. Please.

Ashland: Well, I’m sorry to disappoint you, nikki, but if victoria wants me to stay, I’m gonna stay.

Nikki: Alright. If that’s the way you want to play it. I’m done being polite. I am no longer asking you. I am telling you to leave this office.

Adam: Victoria has made a colossal error. I think we can all agree on that. That doesn’t mean that I’m trying to throw her off the throne so that I can wear the crown, nicholas.

Nick: All historical evidence to the contrary.

Adam: [ Scoffs ] I have a vested interest in this company and the health and future of newman/locke because i actually work for the company, unlike you. And we can’t hit pause on work because there’s a family crisis. Somebody needs to be here to keep their eye on the ball.

Victor: Boys, I want you to stop it now. We’ll take this one step at a time. If any damage has been done to our business, we will deal with it. Your sister’s protection and security is our priority. Is that clear?

[ Door opens ] Lauren.

Adam: We, um — we’re in the middle of a private meeting.

Lauren: Well, just consider me the next problem on your agenda then. Victor, you have got to come clean with me. What exactly do you know about my husband? – When I was flying, I used to love sitting on the ramP.

Lauren: Have you heard from michael since we last spoke?

Victor: I received a package from him yesterday.

Lauren: Which could have been sent days ago when he was safe. So let me rephrase. Have you heard anything about michael? Because I’m aware that you have people searching for him.

Victor: How do you know that?

Lauren: It doesn’t matter. The point is, you should have shared that with me. Now I am asking you to tell me everything.

Victor: [ Breathes deeply ] I have lost contact with michael.

Lauren: [ Sighs heavily ] I knew that in my heart. Okay, well, it’s good that i went to kevin.

Victor: What does kevin have to do with this?

Lauren: When you refused to give me any information, I went to him for help. I have filed a missing-persons report with the gcpd, and they’ve contacted the peruvian authorities.

Victor: Lauren, forget about the gcpd, alright? I have my best people looking for him right now, as we speak. We’ll find him. Trust me.

Lauren: Trust you? Like michael did? And maybe I would have if you had given me any kind of information when this fact-finding mission went off the rails.

Victor: I didn’t want to alarm you. And I thought we would find michael much more quickly.

Lauren: But you didn’T. And you still said nothing. I don’t even know why he was sent to south america. And I suppose you two know more than I do. You’ve been conspicuously silent. I’d really love your take. Are you privy to any information that you think I should have?

[ Sighs ]

Nikki: Oh, my god, why can’t you do this one simple thing for me?

Ashland: This is a matter of respect. You’re showing none to victoria or to me. And it’s not hard to imagine why you want me to leave.

Nikki: Can you really be this obtuse? Not everything is about you, ashland. I’m not here because of you. It’s a private family matter. It’s about victor and me and our marriage.

Victoria: What happened? Mom?

Nikki: Oh, we had a terrible fight. The things that we said to each other, the threats… now I’m worried. I-I-I don’t know what to do because we both said things that we can’t take back.

Victoria: Oh, I’m so sorry.

Nikki: Oh, no, I’m sorry to burden you with this. You’re dealing with so many other things. But I didn’t have anywhere else to turn.

Victoria: No, no, it’s okay. I’m glad you came to me. It’s alright. We’ll figure it out. I promise. I need to speak with my mother alone.

Ashland: You sure about that?

Victoria: Look at her. I mean, she’s obviously upset. And I don’t want to stress her out any more than she already is. She’s been battling enough. I don’t want to add to it.

Ashland: Perhaps you’re right.

Victoria: It’s just gonna take a few minutes. My mother is the strongest woman that I know, and I want to be there for her. Do you understand?

Ashland: Yes. This is one of the things i love about you. Even with someone who’s caused you so much consternation, your first instinct is to help.

Victoria: I want to support her.

Ashland: I understand.

Victoria: Okay.

Ashland: Nikki… I truly wish you the best. You’re very fortunate to have such a loving and caring daughter.

Nikki: Thank you.

Ashland: I’ll be back as soon as I can, and we’ll pick up where we left off, yeah?

Victoria: Yeah.

Ashland: Okay.

[ Door opens ]

Nick: Look, lauren, I know how concerned you are about michael.

Lauren: You have no idea.

Nick: I know my dad’s gonna find him soon.

Adam: Look, michael will come back with a hell of a story, I’m sure. He knows how to handle himself.

Lauren: Why won’t any of you just tell me what’s going on?

Victor: Because I want to keep what michael is working on confidential. It has to do with attorney/client privilege.

Lauren: And you are the client. You could tell me.

Victor: No, I cannot tell you. And I’m sorry that what should have been a routine trip turned into a dangerous situation for michael, but I will remedy the situation. I promise you.

Lauren: If only I could believe you.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Nick: Yeah, adam and I need to take care of that issue we were discussing earlier.

Victor: I will join you shortly, son.

Lauren: Does that have something to do with michael?

Victor: [ Breathes deeply ] It does in a way, lauren, yes. Okay? But I honestly cannot tell you what we’re working on right now. He’s on a very, very important mission. But I promise you that I’ll do everything in my power to bring him back safely. You have my word. Be ready for whatever life throws your way.

Nate: [ Sighs ] Forgive me for blowing up like that.

Devon: No, man. Forgive us for offering you a cool job.

Lily: Well, no. We — we shouldn’t have bombarded you. I’m sorry.

Nate: No, it’s alright. Don’t apologize. This is good news. I couldn’t be happier.

Lily: Well, I mean, I’ve seen you happier. So, what’s going on? Just tell us.

Nate: It’s complicated.

Lily: Well, I mean, what isn’t? I think the three of us can help solve whatever problem it is.

Nate: Thank you, but, unfortunately, this is just the aftermath of making a bad judgment call.

Devon: Oh, man. Good thing none of us have experience with that.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Is there anything that we can do?

Nate: No. I just need time to regroup.

Devon: Yeah? You want to get out? You want to go for a run or something to clear your head?

Lily: I could bore you with some of the corporate conundrums I’m trying to tackle.

Devon: I got singers I’m thinking of signing. You can help me listen to their demos.

Elena: See? We are all here for you, whatever you need.

Lily: Yeah. You’re stuck with us.

Nate: Stop. I just need to take care of some things.

Lily: Okay, well, the offer doesn’t expire.

Nate: Good to know.

Elena: Talk to you later.

Nate: Thank you.

Lily: Uh, what was that? What’s going on?

Devon: Is everything alright with him?

Elena: [ Sighs ] It’s not my place to talk about it.

Devon: Is it something serious?

Elena: What I can say is he’s going to be okay and you don’t need to worry about him.

Lily: I mean, was it the wrong time to bring up the job offer?

Elena: No, no, no, no, no, no. I think once he cools down, he’ll appreciate it. And I love that you want to invite him into the legacy that you’re creating. He’s gonna need something to latch onto.

Nikki: Thank you so much.

Victoria: Mama, are you feeling better?

Nikki: I am, now that we’re alone.

Victoria: So, tell me about this argument that you had with dad. I know you told ashland that it had nothing to do with him, but — I’m sorry — I find that hard to believe, given what’s happened the past few days.

Nikki: Yeah. Everybody has been so tense.

Victoria: Yes, because of the accusations that dad makes towards my husband. I hope you told him that he’s crossed the line and he needs to stop.

Nikki: Victoria, there is no doubt in my mind that your father was right to investigate his suspicions.

Victoria: You didn’t really have a fight with dad, did you? You lied to me.

Nikki: And I’m very sorry about that. I had to get ashland out of the room so we could speak freely.

Victoria: There is nothing that you can say to me that i haven’t already heard!

Nikki: Victoria, listen to me. He has been using you. He has been lying to you since the day he claimed he was sick.

Victoria: How far are you and dad willing to go?

Victor: As far as is necessary to show you exactly what ashland has done.

Nick: And we’re not leaving until you’ve seen all the evidence.
