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.

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?

Brooke: Thorne?

Thorne: I wish I could say that I could make you smile like that, but that one’s only reserved for my brother.

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. But time with you… it always felt like clear skies. The love and joy that you radiate. It’s like a beacon for the soul. You guide us all home. I’m here for you, always. I don’t know what’s going on with me

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.

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.

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.

Why do dermatologists

use dove bar at home?

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?

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.

Brad: Okay, next question. “I don’t care about the rules. I do what I want.” Strongly agree, somewhat agree, somewhat disagree, strongly disagree?

Britt: Strongly agree.

Brad: No kidding.

Britt: [ Scoffs ] How many more? This is taking forever.

Brad: Ah, patience. “When it comes to making plans, I am willing to compromise.” Strongly agree —

Britt: Mm, somewhat agree.

Brad: Strongly disagree.

Britt: Pardon?

Brad: Nothing. Almost there.

Britt: [ Sighs ]

Brad: Only… 40 more questions.

Britt: What?

Brad: Stop complaining! All you have to do is answer questions. The matchmaker’s got the tough part. Just gotta take all your answers to find your perfect man.

Dante: Elizabeth, hey. What brings you here?

Elizabeth: I need to know if there’s been any progress on the break-in at my house. I mean, how can somebody sneak a gigantic portrait into my house without somebody’s doorbell Cam picking it up?

Dante: Yeah, you’d think so, right? But we’ve got nothing so far.

Elizabeth: Obviously, I’m disappointed — not surprised. However, there has been a development on my end.

[ Knock on door ]

Finn: Come in! Back again? I-I-I — I thought this was all gonna stop.

Chase: Well, good morning to you, too. Thanks for the warm welcome.

Finn: I’m sorry, I just — I’m surprised. I just — I thought I’d be seeing a lot less of you now that Brook Lynn is back in town.

Maxie: Hey!

Brook Lynn: Hey.

Maxie: Oh, my gosh, did we have a meeting? You’ll have to excuse me. I need coffee. I usually stop by perks on my way here, but then I realized I didn’t have a free hand. And I keep forgetting Bailey’s stroller has a cup holder.

Brook Lynn: Oh, you’ll figure it out. I just cannot believe you have not had coffee. That’s the first thing I’d do in the morning — after Miss Bailey’s bottle, of course.

Maxie: Oh, no, no, no. [ Laughs ] I brew my first cup as soon as I wake up. Perks is my first latte.

Brook Lynn: Ah, got it. [ Laughs ]

Maxie: You should go see Bailey at daycare. I’m sure she misses you.

Brook Lynn: Yeah, thanks. I will. I miss her.

Maxie: How are you doing? I mean, I haven’t seen you since you got back.

Brook Lynn: I’m good.

Lucy: And that is the last one. Yes! You did it.

Portia: [ Squeals ]

Lucy: [ Laughter ]

Portia: I might have developed carpal tunnel from signing all these documents.

Curtis: Lucy, thank you. Thank you. This was a much better venue than somewhere in some stuffy room in a bank.

Lucy: Well, I do aim to please. [ Gasps ] Oh, forgetting very important something. Uh, stay there. Don’t move. Excuse me for just a minute.

Portia: [ Chuckling ] Okay.

Curtis: We’re homeowners.

Portia: [ Laughs ] We got a beach house.

Curtis: Baby.

Portia: Oh, my god!

Selina: Thank you for seeing me. I’m sorry to bother you at home. There was a time I would have gone through Jason. But since you still have no second, I had no choice but to approach you directly.

Sonny: Well, you know, Jason’s very hard to replace. Um… what’s on your mind? Do we have a problem?

Maxie: You know, you don’t have to do that, Brook Lynn.

Brook Lynn: Do what?

Maxie: Pretend that you’re okay. I can tell you’re hurting.

Brook Lynn: You are correct. Look, life is not exactly great at the moment, okay? But how could I complain after everything you went through all those months and months?

Maxie: Hey, you didn’t exactly have it easy, okay? People have been judging you and giving you grief.

Brook Lynn: Well, I would do it all again to protect that baby girl. I am just so thankful that Bailey is safe and that Peter is finally gone.

Maxie: Yeah, she’s safe because of how you love and protected her. I’m never gonna forget that.

Brook Lynn: Don’t give me all the credit. Chase helped, too.

Maxie: Have you, uh, seen him since you got back?

Brook Lynn: Um, yeah, he stopped by the house.

Maxie: Oh, did he? What was so important that he just had to rush right over?

Chase: I actually have a legit reason for being here completely unrelated to Brook Lynn. You are looking at the organizer of this year’s community softball league.

Finn: Congratulations.

Chase: Thanks. I volunteered. Can I put you down for a team?

Finn: If you must.

Chase: Oh, and, uh, furthermore, can I get you to spread the word around here, get your colleagues to sign up?

Finn: You might want to recruit someone that’s a little more of a people person. I’m not really the best choice to be rallying the troops.

Chase: Well, I talked to Elizabeth, but I figured she’d be busy with Jake.

Finn: Well, good news on that front. Jake’s innocent. He has an alibi.

Chase: Wow, what a relief. W-where was he?

Finn: Library.

Chase: Why wouldn’t he just say that in the first place?

Finn: I guess he didn’t want Elizabeth knowing he was video conferencing with his grandparents.

Chase: Elizabeth’s parents? Why is that a problem?

Finn: I couldn’t tell you. All I know is, Elizabeth is determined to keep her parents out of her life.

Epiphany: Well, they look happy.

Marshall: That they do.

Epiphany: [ Chuckles ] You want to go say hello?

Marshall: No, no. I, uh — I don’t want to be pushy.

Epiphany: You’ve been pushy about getting me into your band.

Marshall: Well, that’s just common sense. You know, we could have a lot of fun playing music together.

Epiphany: Mm-hmm.

[ Both laugh ]

Marshall: I wonder what they’re celebrating.

Lucy: And here we go. [ Laughs ] One for you.

Portia: Oh, yay!

Lucy: One for you.

Curtis: Thank you.

Lucy: Here is to your new home. Cheers.

Portia: [ Laughs ] Cheers!

Curtis: Hear, hear.

Lucy: Mmm. Mm! Oh, dear. Okay, I have to go. I really want to get your papers filed. So, here — for you. Oh! For you. And I gotta get back to Deception, or I’m simply gonna have to fire myself. So, ta. Enjoy.

Portia: [ Laughter ]

Lucy: Thank you. Congratulations.

Curtis: Thank you.

Portia: Babe, I can’t wait to move in. I got some big plans for the new house. [ Laughs ] With your agreement, of course.

Curtis: I have some big plans of my own.

Dante: I will, uh, send someone over to the library, get them to check the computer logs, be sure we can confirm Jake’s story. But I’m very relieved to hear that.

Elizabeth: Yeah. I know. Me too. But now that we’ve ruled out Jake and Betsy, we’re back to square one. And I certainly don’t like knowing that somebody’s been in and out of my house doing all these creepy things.

Dante: Right. Um… but, you know, you do have that key hidden outside that allows access to your house pretty easily.

Elizabeth: I know. I-I-I’ve removed the key. I’ve changed the locks, and a security system is being put in today.

Dante: Oh, good. Okay. I’m gonna make sure there’s a patrol car going by the house every day, too.

Elizabeth: Thank you.

Dante: Yeah.

Elizabeth: Um, I’m also here on another matter. It concerns Cameron. Apparently, there is a video going around.

Dante: Yeah. Yeah, I’m aware of the video with Cam and Joss. Actually, Michael was just arrested for assaulting the tabloid reporter who asked him about it.

Selina: We have no problem. In fact, I’ve found our collaboration very beneficial, so far. I hope you feel the same.

Sonny: Well, th– you know, I was surprised ’cause everything was going smoothly when you asked to meet with me. What’s so urgent?

Selina: We used to be the five families. Right. Now we are two.

Sonny: Uh-huh.

Selina: Corinthos and Wu. And since our territories are consolidated, it’s only natural that our business interests would overlap more than previously.

Sonny: Cut to the Chase. What do you want?

Selina: Use of the Port Charles harbor. Of course, you’d get a cut of any business I do in your territory.

Sonny: [ Chuckles ] Ah. Yeah, I could consider that. But you gotta play by my rules.

Brook Lynn: Chase stopped by to drop off a few things I left at the beach house. Okay, more than a few.

Maxie: Poor Chase. He seemed so lost while you were gone.

Brook Lynn: Yeah, I’m sure he’s missing Bailey. His suspension’s also weighing on him.

Maxie: Yeah — yeah, all of that is true, but I don’t think Bailey’s the only person he’s been missing.

Brook Lynn: Look, Chase has made it clear that we are friends, which is exactly how I want it. Where’s Lucy, by the way? Deception’s about to go public, and we haven’t even finished planning the party.

Maxie: Lucy’s wrapping up some real estate business or whatever. What’s in there?

Brook Lynn: Oh, nothing. It’s just my songbook. Chase found it at the, um — the beach house.

Maxie: You’re writing songs again?

Brook Lynn: No, no. [ Laughs ] Not exactly. I haven’t been able to look at them since, um, Nelle attacked me. I just couldn’t face it. I thought I shouldn’t write anymore since I can’t sing anymore.

Maxie: But you’ve changed your mind?

Brook Lynn: Well, Chase thinks other people might want to sing them. Says they’re pretty good.

Maxie: Oh, does he? Oh, that’s very friendly of him.

Chase: Wait, does this mean “the pause” is over? You and Elizabeth can get back together?

Finn: We haven’t talked about it yet.

Chase: Well, what’s stopping the two of you?

Finn: I think Elizabeth got a little spooked, certainly with all the craziness going on and also with the speed in which things happened with us. It’s been a little over a year since she lost her husband. They’re still a family in mourning.

Chase: I mean, I get it. I can see how all those Franco-centric events might have kicked up some doubts and sensitivities for Elizabeth. But has anything happened since the portrait?

Finn: No, nothing.

Chase: So, maybe it’s all over.

Finn: Whether it is or isn’t… I’m not giving up on my relationship with Elizabeth without a fight.

Elizabeth: So, what happens now?

Dante: Well, Michael will be arraigned this morning. He’ll probably make bail and have his day in court. But I-I-I’m telling you this because you and the boys, you’ve gotta be careful. This guy, Smoltz, he’s a real piece of garbage, and he’s not gonna let this story go.

Elizabeth: But this was an invasion of a very private moment. This isn’t news — it’s smut. And it was intrusive and hurtful.

Dante: Right, and I agree with you, but it is news to them because of Josslyn’s connection to Sonny. The Corinthos name is clickbait. And — and you have to remember that Cam and Joss are consenting adults now. So technically, he is allowed to go after them.

Elizabeth: God, haven’t those kids suffered enough? What about the person responsible for the video? Are you going after them?

Dante: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course, we are. Totally. And the PCU is also conducting their own investigation.

Elizabeth: Yeah, but how long is that gonna take?

Dante: I don’t know.

Elizabeth: I mean, what else can we do?

Dante: Really? Um, stay cool. Don’t punch any reporters in the face. If they ask any questions, just keep walking, say “no comment,” and hopefully they’ll get bored and move on to something else soon.

Elizabeth: Easier said than done. Yeah. Well, like you said, the Corinthos name is clickbait. If this becomes a story about a kingpin’s stepdaughter…

Dante: Well, you know what? I am gonna talk to Sonny and tell him he’s gotta stay out of it.

Elizabeth: Good luck with that. We both know no one tells Sonny what to do.

Selina: Please, define your rules.

Sonny: No drugs, period. Full stop.

Selina: That’s been your policy for decades. It’s not a problem for me.

Sonny: Okay, I’m gonna need advance notice on all your traffic, and I’m also gonna choose the point person to facilitate the process.

Selina: Won’t that create more work for you?

Sonny: Those are my terms.

Selina: Then I agree.

Sonny: I also need to hear from you at least 48 hours before the first shipment.

Selina: Of course. I’ll make sure there are no disruptions on my end.

Sonny: I’m counting on it. Anything else?

Selina: One other matter. I heard about your son Michael’s arrest. So vexing.

Sonny: Okay. Michael is my problem. You take care of your family. I’ll take care of mine.

Selina: Oh, I do. I promise. I keep a very close eye on my family.

Brad: Now we need to list the qualities you want in a man.

Britt: [ Groans, sighs ] Smart. Resourceful. Resilient. Not too self-absorbed. Someone aware that there’s a world out there that’s bigger than him and his workout routine or his career path. [ Sighs ] He needs to be sexy. Maybe even a little dangerous. But someone that I can rely on.

Brad: With a leather jacket and a motorcycle?

Britt: That’s a low blow.

Brad: I’m sorry. I’m sure Jason Morgan will be a hard act to follow. But [Hisses through teeth] Guy wasn’t perfect.

Britt: Just perfect for me.

Brad: What if we try for, uh, sexy and resourceful, but with a little fashion sense? And maybe loves to dance. Oh, and knows good wine.

Britt: Are we still looking for me? [ Laughs ]

Brad: Trust me, I don’t want a man right now, especially with Aunt Selina circling. But you know what I really want? A job. So, how goes it, bestie? Any luck finding me a gig here at GH?

Epiphany: You, um, got me thinking. And… [ Sighs ] …I’m going to take the MCATs.

Marshall: Good.

Epiphany: [ Laughing ] Oh, my —

Marshall: Wonderful! Well, I’m going to order us a round of mimosas.

[ Both laugh ]

Epiphany: Mm. [ Laughs ]

Portia: I took your advice. I stopped pushing Trina to stay away from Spencer.

Portia: And I do — I do. I’m glad that Trina’s learning how to live life on her own. I want that for her. But it’s times like these that I wish I could just knock on her bedroom door, poke my head in there [Laughs] Ask her how her day was. And she would confide in me. And we just…talked. No matter the age, parenting is hard.

Chase: I’m rooting for and Elizabeth. You two make a cute couple.

Finn: Did you just say “cute”?

Chase: And I’m impressed to see you go after what you want.

Finn: Well…

Chase: Way to be proactive.

Finn: Yeah? You like that? Well, now that we’re on the subject, have you at least spoken with Brook Lynn?

Chase: Um, Brook Lynn and I are friends who went through an intense time together, and now it’s over. So, you know, I’ll see her when I see her.

Finn: Well, it’s good that you can still be…friends.

Chase: Totally. I mean, why wouldn’t we be? I mean, I’m sure we’ll be hanging out again — eventually. We’re still movie buddies — although she can be a little possessive over the popcorn.

Finn: And you’re fine with that? The “buddy” part?

Chase: Totally.

Finn: Mm-hmm.

Chase: Why wouldn’t I be? I mean, it’s time I… get back to living my own life.

Brook Lynn: We’re friends, okay? Those were his words, so… if Chase wants something more, he can darn well say it.

Maxie: Yeah, but do you want more?

[ Bag thuds ]

Brooke Lynn: Uh, no, thanks. I’m not hurling myself into some awkward, “I’m sorry, it’s not you, it’s me” situation, okay? I am fine with the friendzone. Look, we really need to jump on this party. I think we should start without Lucy, and Sasha’s obviously not coming.

Maxie: I got a text from Sasha. She’s extending her time away. Kind of surprising.

Brook Lynn: Ahhh.

Maxie: Hey.

Lucy: So, you haven’t heard.

Maxie: Heard what?

Lucy: [ Laughs ] Sasha and Brando got married.

Brook Lynn: [ Gasps ] [ Exhales sharply ]

Britt: Here you go –a list of your job options.

Brad: Wait. None of these are lab positions.

Britt: We’ve been over this, Brad. Terry is co-chief of staff. I mean, we make hiring decisions together. There’s no way she’ll agree to let me hire you to work in a lab where you could tamper with test results. Given your history, the liability would be too high. I’m sorry, but that’s just reality.

Brad: There’s reality, a-and then there’s “food service coordinator.”

Britt: Did I include that? It should be “food service aid.” You don’t have the qualifications to be a coordinator. But you — you could be promoted.

Brad: [ Exhales sharply ]

Selina: Detective Falconeri. Thank you for your hospitality.

Dante: [ Chuckles ] Hospitality, eh? Selina Wu, the alleged head of the alleged crime family of the same name, yeah?

Sonny: Is there a question in there?

Dante: No. [ Sighs ] No, there isn’t. I came to tell you about Michael. He’s being arraigned today.

Sonny: Can you tell me what happened?

Dante: Why? He didn’t tell you what happened?

Sonny: No, he said that he was protecting his sister and then some reporter was harassing her. Is that because of me and Carly or what?

Dante: Uh, not directly, no.

Sonny: What you mean, “not directly”? Well, what I mean is that the reporter wanted a headline with the name Corinthos in it, so he went after Michael because… there’s a video… with Josslyn and Cameron Webber.

Epiphany: I just hope that I am not fooling myself thinking that I can juggle med school with my job. Becoming a-a doctor is a major endeavor, and… I will have to work while I’m in school. If I get in.

Marshall: Oh, you’ll be accepted. You will. I bet you know half that stuff already. How many young doctors have you trained?

Epiphany: Quite a few. [ Chuckles ]

Marshall: Mm-hmm. There you are. There you are. You got this, girl.

Epiphany: Maybe you should get a job as a hype man.

Marshall: No hype. No hype needed. I believe in you.

Portia: So, how are things going with you and your father these days?

Curtis: Cautiously optimistic. Things are sure looking cozy with him and Epiphany.

Portia: Mm-hmm. Maybe Epiphany would be good for Marshall.

Curtis: Yeah, but… would Marshall be good for Epiphany?

Epiphany: Part of me expects people to laugh and tell me I’m crazy for putting myself through this rigor after all this time.

Marshall: I understand too well about not having faith in yourself. But you’re strong. You’re strong enough to face these things.

Curtis: I hope you two…

Marshall: hmm? Oh.

Curtis: …are enjoying your morning.

Marshall: Even more so now that you’re here.

Epiphany: [ Chuckles ]

Marshall: I see you and Portia are celebrating.

Curtis: Yeah, we just closed on a house.

Epiphany: Oh! [ Laughing ]

Marshall: Whoa! Well, that is good news! Come here, man! Well done!

Epiphany: Oh, boy. You know what? I think that I am gonna go and offer Portia my congratulations. Have a seat, Curtis.

Marshall: Absolutely.

Curtis: Oh, let me — I-I-I don’t mean to interrupt.

Epiphany: No, no, baby. It’s okay. All right.

Marshall: [ Chuckles ]

Curtis: [ Chuckles ]

Marshall: No, no, no. You, uh — you didn’t interrupt. Epiphany? She’ll definitely be back. I ain’t even worried about that.

Curtis: Okay. A little — little cocky, aren’t you?

Marshall: Well, you know, it’s called swagger, son.

[ Both laugh ]

Epiphany: Curtis told us about the house. Congratulations.

Portia: Aww.

Epiphany: You must be excited.

Portia: Yes, thank you so much.

Epiphany: [ Laughs ]

Portia: And I admit, it’s a huge step.

Epiphany: Mm-hmm.

Portia: But it feels right. And sometimes, you’ve just gotta go for it.

Epiphany: I know the feeling.

Portia: Wait, wait. A-are you saying that you and Marshall are starting to get serious?

Epiphany: [ Gasps ] Oh. No, no, no, no, no, no. We just enjoy spending time together. [ Laughs ] I don’t think either one of us is interested in anything serious.

Curtis: I’m not buying this lack of confidence routine. You’re Marshall Ashford. You’re a musician. I’m quite sure you’ve got plenty of game.

Marshall: I do.

Curtis: [ Laughs ]

Marshall: Yes, I’ve — I’ve been a player. But I don’t want that for Epiphany. I like her. I, uh — I respect her. I don’t know, maybe — maybe I just want to romance her.

Curtis: Okay.

Marshall: Yeah. You know, maybe that’s why I — I feel so much out of my depth. And I admire what you have with Portia. Wish I could build a meaningful relationship like that.

Maxie: Sasha didn’t even tell us. I don’t know how I feel about that.

Brook Lynn: I didn’t even know that she and Brando were talking marriage. She never even mentioned it.

Lucy: You know, I’m not sure they really were.

Maxie: Yeah, but why was Gladys hell-bent on stopping them? I thought she and Sasha were on better terms. I mean, Gladys really stepped up when they lost little Liam.

Lucy: Right, so I don’t — I don’t think it was about Gladys not liking Sasha. I think it was that Gladys just thought it was all happening really fast.

Maxie: Brando and Sasha have been together for a year.

Brook Lynn: I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Gladys kind of has a point. Sasha and Brando just lost their baby. They’re still reeling.

Maxie: Right. But sometimes, an intense emotional experience can really bring two people together. I trust Sasha and Brando’s bond, and I have faith that their relationship will only deepen from here.

[ Door closes ]

Finn: How’s Jake?

Elizabeth: Um, well, somewhere in between being righteously indignant and mortified. I was able to convince him that I’m not angry with him for wanting to communicate with his grandparents. However, I’m furious with my mom and dad for encouraging him to keep secrets. But what really bothers me is how upset Jake is that I thought he was behind all of these strange happenings. Not that I blame him.

Finn: Don’t be so hard on yourself.

Elizabeth: Yeah, well… I really appreciate all the help you’ve given me with the boys. And — and now, there’s this thing going on with Cameron. [ Stammers ] We don’t have to talk about it right now.

Finn: I want to. I mean, whatever we… whatever we are, whatever we — we become… …I want to be there for you. Because I think we’re stronger when we’re together. I know I am. So I’m gonna be by your side for whatever comes next. I know I just said “whatever” way too many times, but I need you to know… …you’re not alone anymore. I mean, there’s probably times you’re gonna be on your own, but not necessarily alone.

Elizabeth: Finn?

Finn: Yeah?

Elizabeth: Kiss me.

Finn: Okay.

Curtis: It’s like any relationship. If you want it to work, gotta be real with each other.

Marshall: Is this about you or Epiphany?

Curtis: Ah, both. But we’re talking about Epiphany. Let her see who you really are.

Marshall: [ Chuckles ] Oh, no, no, no. No one wants to see that.

Curtis: What are you, a werewolf or something?

Marshall: [ Growls ]

Curtis: Right, right. Okay. But — no, no. I mean, I’m serious. Instead of trying to be who you think she wants you to be, show her who you really are.

Marshall: I could have used that advice on one of my first dates with your mother. I took her to a skating rink.

Curtis: Oh, Mom loved to skate.

Marshall: Yes, she did. And she was very good at it — much better than me. But I couldn’t let her know about that. So — so there I was. Trying to be smooth, right?

Curtis: [ Laughs ]

Marshall: I’m rapping to her. I’m talking more smack than actual skating. Then her favorite song came on. Man, and out to the rink we went. I get out there. I tried to — I tried to bust a move. Next thing I know, I’m doing a James Brown split —

Curtis: Oh, no.

Marshall: Blap! On the ice. And, oh, man, that split went right up the back of my pants.

Curtis: You’re kidding.

Marshall: I busted ’em wide open, man!

Curtis: Oh, no, no.

[ Both laugh ]

Marshall: Mm.

Curtis: Ahh. I-I never knew any of that. Mom never — she never mentioned this.

Marshall: I loved your mother. I really did, Curtis.

Britt: What about “clinical patient advocate”?

Brad: I assumed that was a joke. Who’d want me at a patient’s bedside?

Britt: Did you even read the job description? It’s technical. It’s not warm and fuzzy.

Brad: What do you mean?

Britt: You’d explain lab test results. You’d guide the patient through essential versus nonessential tests and procedures.

Brad: Wait a minute. I could do that.

Britt: Uh, yeah.

Brad: You mean, I can do that? For real?

Britt: You’re hired! Uh, w– pending Terry’s approval.

Brad: [ Laughs ] Ooh, you’re the best. What would I do without you?

Selina: Interesting question.

Sonny: What’s this reporter’s name, and where do I find him?

Dante: No, no. You don’t find anybody. You’re gonna stand down. The — the reporter wants you involved. That’s why he went after Michael in the first place.

Sonny: You want me to s-sit back and do nothing while somebody put a camera in my cabin? Released a video to embarrass Cam and Josslyn? You’d better figure this out real quick, ’cause I’m putting an end to it.

Dante: No, you’re not. You’re not gonna do anything. I’ve got this. Spinelli’s already taken the video off of all the public sites. He’s gone through your cabin. There is no camera there, okay? I’m not gonna let this drop, all right?

Sonny: How’s Josslyn?

Dante: I don’t know. I haven’t talked to Josslyn. But Carly says she’s devastated — obviously. I mean, I can’t believe Michael didn’t tell you about this.

Sonny: Michael says that, uh, Josslyn’s not my family anymore.

Dante: Wow. Okay, so things have gotten worse, not better between you two.

Sonny: I haven’t seen Michael this angry since he went after custody of Avery. He says that I’m choosing Nina over my family.

Dante: Are you?

Elizabeth: I came here to tell you the exact same thing. I think we’re better together.

Finn: Really?

Elizabeth: Really.

Finn: And here I thought it was my speech that changed the tide. You know, I h– I had more. I mean, really, really good stuff.

Elizabeth: I’m happy to hear more.

Finn: I like your approach better.

Lucy: I think that we should throw Brando and Sasha a “happy wedding” party as soon as they get back.

Maxie: I am all for it. But I agree with Brook Lynn, and she’s been saying all morning we need to focus on our own party, because the IPO is coming up fast.

Brook Lynn: Thank you.

Maxie: And it can’t be some cookie cutter launch party, okay? It needs to be something that gets people talking about Deception. I want to make a splash.

Brook Lynn: I vote live music. We have a venue that can handle it.

Lucy: Ooh, I love that. Okay, string quartet. Eh, very classy, but kind of stuffy, huh? And I don’t want some wedding band, you know, that just plays horrible covers.

Maxie: What about an original song?

Lucy: Wow, that would be great, but it’s awfully tight. I don’t think we have time to hire a composer that could come up with some sort of arrangement for us.

Maxie: What if we don’t have to do that?

Brook Lynn: I may have some songs that might work.

Lucy: You’re a songwriter?

Maxie: She’s phenomenal.

Lucy: O-okay. But then, I mean, who would we have sing? Because, I mean, I know you can’t. You could have Amy, but I’m not gonna have lip synching again.

Maxie: Lucy!

Brook Lynn: It’s okay. Look, I know what I did. I was desperate after my injury. But I have come to terms with the fact that I can’t sing anymore, because now I know I don’t have to give up music altogether. I’m a songwriter.

Epiphany: I’m gonna trust you with something I’m not quite ready to let out yet. I’ve decided to take the MCATs.

Portia: [ Gasps ] What? With all your nursing experience?

Epiphany: I know, I know. It just doesn’t —

Portia: I-I had no idea. Epiphany, you’re gonna be an amazing doctor.

Epiphany: You really think so?

Portia: I know so. In fact, why don’t you let me mentor you? I can help you study for the MCATs.

Epiphany: Yes, please.

[ Both chuckle ]

Curtis: Wait, wait, wait, wait. You turned down an opportunity to play with Dexter Gordon to take mom to see Aunt Stella out in California?

Marshall: I knew how much Irene was missing her sister, and I wanted to make that happen. She said that’s what sealed the deal. She knew I-I really loved her. I did. It’s been a long time since I felt anything close like that with anyone else.

Curtis: Except now? With Epiphany?

Marshall: No. No, not yet. But I-I feel potential. She’s strong. She — she’s kind. She’s resourceful, straightforward, fun. She doesn’t judge anyone. She takes people just the way they come.

Curtis: All the more reason why you should be real with her. I mean, I hear you. I feel the same way about Portia. I’m so excited we’re taking this next step.

Marshall: I’m excited for you, too.

Curtis: [ Chuckles ]

Marshall: And I’m — I’m really glad to see you so happy.

Brad: Uh, Aunt Selina, you’re back. H-h-how’d you find me?

Selina: I was looking for Dr. Westbourne.

Britt: What can I do for you, Ms. Wu?

Selina: Since Bradley insists on keeping you in his life, I have decided to get to know you better.

Britt: Well, you can start by noting that I prefer to say “come in” before people enter my office.

Selina: Noted. Are you free for lunch?

Britt: I’m sorry. I can’t today.

Selina: Oh, perhaps you should consult your calendar.

Britt: I don’t need to. I know my schedule.

Brad: H-having lunch together sounds great, but it might be a little hard to sync up. I mean, you’re so busy, and Britt’s working all sorts of hours. I-I’m gonna be busy soon, too. Uh, Britt just offered me a job here at GH.

Selina: That’s kind of you, but unnecessary. My nephew is working for me.

Sonny: Are you really asking me that?

Dante: Yeah, I am asking you that. I wanna know what the hell’s going on. Michael’s upset with you for cheating on Carly with Nina. I know that, but is something else happening?

Sonny: I’m just trying to talk some sense into Michael about Nina seeing Wiley. I think everybody would be a lot happier if — if — if Nina and Michael weren’t at each other’s throats. Now, Nina… wants to go to court for visitation rights. It — you know, it — she’s Wiley’s grandmother, so that’s not gonna change. I’m just trying to, you know, make sure this all goes away so I can just have my family back.

Dante: I understand that, but you, of all people, should know that that’s not gonna be that easy.

Sonny: W-what is that supposed to mean?

Dante: [ Scoffs ] Well, dad, you — you’re not exactly known for your ability to forgive. Where do you think Michael got it from?

Sonny: I just don’t know — I don’t like being at odds with Michael like this.

Dante: Honestly, I don’t think he likes being at odds with you, either. He loves you. But he’s — he’s angry. I’m sure he would love to forgive you, but it’s — it’s just gonna take time. It’s not gonna happen overnight. You gotta — you gotta put in the work.

Sonny: I just — I tell you, I just picked the — the wrong time to stop drinking.

Dante: You stopped dri– why? Why? Something going on?

Sonny: After Carly asked for a divorce, um… I just started drinking a lot more, and I was going down the wrong path. And then Nina, you know, wants to help, and she told me I should stop drinking.

Dante: She did, huh? That’s good. Are you saying there might be an actual future with you and Nina?

Elizabeth: I’m glad that’s settled.

Finn: Me too. And the boys will be okay with us? With me?

Elizabeth: How could they not be? They’ll see what a good man you are and how happy you make me.

Finn: That’s the plan. Whatever happens from here, we face it together.

Lucy: This one. I love it. I think it’s perfect. I love it.

Maxie: I love it, too.

Brook Lynn: Well, it’s a duet. Who would sing the male part?

[ Knock on door ]

Chase: Excuse me, ladies. May I have a moment of your time?

Maxie: Well, look who it is — Detective Chase.

Brad: I-I’m working for you? I think there’s a misunderstanding. I’m working at GH.

Selina: You should have checked with me first.

Britt: Why would he have to do that?

Selina: I thought we had an understanding, Bradley. I provide you with a job, along with your rent-free apartment. I’m happy to pay rent. I have to go. My assistant will contact you about setting up a lunch date.

Britt: Should I be worried that she’ll try and poison me?

Brad: No. Probably not. Just don’t let her take you to a second location.

Sonny: Right now, I’m not planning anything with Nina.

Dante: Then why are you pushing so hard for Nina to see Wiley? Like, you want your family back together. Is that what you’re saying? Like, are you including Nina in that family?

Sonny: Nina is Wiley’s grandmother.

Dante: I know, so maybe you realize that you can’t be with Nina if she can’t see Wiley.

Sonny: It’s not — that’s what I’m trying to say. It’s not a choice between Nina and my family, no matter what Michael thinks.

Dante: Right. Look, I uh — I sympathize with you. I do. But maybe you have to accept that right now, the way that things stand, maybe you can’t have both Nina and Michael in your life.

Portia: I can’t wait to start decorating! [ Laughs ]

Curtis: Yeah, we’ll go, uh, do a walk-through later. You know what, I am really glad things are coming together.

Portia: Does that include your relationship with Marshall? Looks like you two were having a good talk.

Curtis: Yeah, he finally opened up. I really think I’m starting to get to know my father.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Curtis: Oh. Hey, Drew. Okay. Really? Okay, tell me when. All right.

Portia: What?

Curtis: Drew just found some inconsistencies in Marshall’s past.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Drew (to Curtis): Are you sure you want to know?

Alexis: Have you reached a decision?

Laura (to Nikolas): We need to close ranks.

Spencer: Let’s do it.

Josslyn (to Cameron): Will you stand up with me?

Esme: Are you saying you were wrong about me?

Carly (to Elizabeth): How can you be so sure?

Sonny (to Ava): You don’t miss a beat, do you?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Phone beeps]

Gabi: Hey, yeah, send her in.

Kate: Hey, sorry I’m late. I had breakfast with will and arianna this morning. He’s taking her back to arizona.

Gabi: Yes, I’m aware. I’m her mother.

Kate: Yes, of course. So what’s this about? I have an important meeting. I don’t have much time.

Gabi: This won’t take very long. You’re fired.

[Knocking on door]

Jake: Yo, hey.

Ben: Jake, what’s going on?

Jake: Did you talk to susan? Did she confirm that johnny’s possessed or what?

Ben: I’m sorry, man, we meant to call you earlier, but there was–

Ciara: Yeah, there’s been a lot going on, including an exorcism.

Jake: What?

Ben: Yeah, dr. Evans called last night, and apparently she and john were finally able to get rid of the devil for good.

Jake: So we were right. The devil was in johnny.

Ben: We were wrong. The devil was in belle.

Shawn: How you feeling?

Belle: Oh, I have a splitting headache, and I don’t know why.

Shawn: What do you remember about last night?

Belle: Not much. I remember you taking me to the car and driving and then putting me to bed. Were my parents there?

Shawn: Yeah.

Belle: Doing what? Did something happen?

Shawn: Your father performed an exorcism.

Belle: Oh, my god. My mom was possessed again?

Shawn: No, no, this time it wasn’t your mother.

Belle: Well, then who was it?

Shawn: Belle… honey, it was you.

Johnny: Hey, uncle chad, you have a second?

Chad: It depends. Do you want to apologize? Tell me that you got it now? That you know that gabi was using you to get me booted from dimera?

Johnny: It’s not about gabi.

Chad: Okay.

Johnny: It’s about my dad.

Chad: Well, what about him?

Johnny: Do you remember during his trial when you walked into the witness room and saw him kissing abigail?

Chad: How could I forget?

Johnny: Right, well, turns out that wasn’t my dad.

Susan: Oh, elvis! My sweet, sweet boy!

Ej: Mother, mother, oxygen. Oxygen, mother.

Susan: Oh, I’m so sorry. I missed you so much. And seeing you in here when you haven’t done a darn thing, it just breaks my heart.

Ej: I knew this would upset you; that’s why I said you didn’t have to come.

Susan: Oh, but I did, you see, I have some wonderful news. You’re not gonna have to sing “jailhouse rock” much longer because your mama is here to set you free!

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

[Soft orchestration]

Ej: Set me free?

Susan: Yeah, that’s right. I have a plan.

Ej: I hope you’re not thinking of breaking me out of here.

Susan: Oh, heavens, no. That would be illegal. No, my plan is 100% legit.

Ej: Well, in that case, I’m all ears.

Susan: All right, you see, we’re gonna get your conviction overturned, okay?

Ej: How?

Susan: Well, I think it’s what they call “ineffective assistance of counsel,” which means that your lawyer screwed up big time and gave you pathetic, pathetic defense.

Ej: I know what it means, mother, but it’s not true. Belle is an excellent attorney. She gave me superb advice that I failed to heed at every turn.

Susan: Oh, well, belle may be a fine, fine lawyer but the devil sure as heck isn’T.

Belle: So you’re saying that my head hurts because johnny had to knock me out? And then I was sedated and tied to a bed?

Shawn: Yes, that was only to keep everybody safe until your dad got back to salem so he could remove satan from your body.

Belle: And all of this started at the exorcism?

Shawn: That’s when the devil jumped over to you.

Belle: So I have been possessed since christmas. Did you have any idea?

Shawn: No, no, I had none. All right, last night the devil said something about keeping a low profile until he’s finished his work.

Belle: His work?

Shawn: I think he was just biding his time until my sister gave birth.

Belle: Oh, my god. Ben and ciara. So all this time, I have been plotting to steal their baby without even knowing it.

Ben: It turns out that belle was the one who was possessed.

Jake: Doesn’t make sense. We were convinced it was johnny.

Ben: I know we were, but then susan went and confronted the guy and she said she felt nothing, no bad vibes, nothing.

Jake: Okay, I sure as hell got bad vibes, like, a lot of them. Look, I know susan’s been there for you guys with her visions and whatnot, but she’s wrong on this. I’m telling you. I am convinced the devil was in johnny and working to tear me apart from the woman I love.

Kate: Is this a joke?

Gabi: I’m dead serious.

Kate: You can’t fire me.

Gabi: I just did. And if you’re wondering why, it’s because you’re a disloyal bitch.

Kate: Excuse me?

Gabi: You made your feelings clear, and I’m doing the same. I can’t have somebody working under me whom I can’t trust.

Kate: Okay, look, we’ll just discuss this over lunch because as I said, I have a very important meeting. I’m in the middle of a negotiation for a new acquisition–

Gabi: Johnny will take it over.

Kate: Ha! Now I know you’re joking.

Gabi: No, not even a little. You’re done, kate. So why don’t you go back, pack your stuff, and get the hell out? It’s my 4:05, the-show-must-go-on,

Gabi: What are you waiting for? I said leave.

Kate: Fine, I’ll go. But the minute I walk out that door, you’re screwed.

Gabi: I’ll be fine.

Kate: Mm-hmm. Well, to be a successful ceo, gabi, you need allies. And right now there’s no one here that you can count on. Chad hates you. Ej’s in prison. You blew it with jake, which was absolutely predictable. You are all alone.

Gabi: I’m not alone. I have johnny.

Kate: For the moment.

Gabi: What does that mean?

Kate: Isn’t it obvious? I mean, he ousted his uncle, he blew up his sister’s engagement, he dumped his wife at their wedding reception. How long do you think it’s going to be until he turns on you?

Chad: The person I saw kissing abigail was belle? How is that possible?

Johnny: Well, technically, it wasn’t belle. It was the devil. She’s been possessed since christmas. Apparently, when my uncle eric, was performing the exorcism on my grandmother, satan jumped into my aunt.

Chad: My god. And john did the exorcism this time?

Johnny: Yeah, yeah. He got rid of the devil for good, but before that, belle confessed what she did to abigail. Other people heard it, too. I mean, ask shawn if you don’t believe me.

Chad: So belle morphed into ej so I could see him make a play for my wife, why?

Johnny: Well, I asked satan that myself. And he said it was to rip apart the family, turn brother against brother.

Chad: And he knew that it would work because of ej’s history with abby.

Johnny: Look, I know that my dad has done some bad things, including kidnapping my mother, but he did not force himself on abigail. Just thought you might wanna know that.

[Tense music]

Ej: Oof, poor belle, that must’ve been terrifying for her.

Susan: And nobody would’ve known that satan snuck into her if it wasn’t for yours truly.

Ej: Is she all right?

Susan: Oh, well, she will be. I mean, mr. John black and dr. Marlena evans, they are taking very good care of your daughter.

Ej: They did an exorcism?

Susan: Well, mr. John black, he sure knows what he’s doing. I mean, he is an expert exorcist. Try saying that three times.

Ej: And you’re sure it was a success?

Susan: Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean, the devil is back in hell where he belongs, and belle brady, she’s gonna be just fine.

Belle: I just can’t believe that I’ve been plotting to steal ben and ciara’s baby. That’s our niece, our nephew. What? What is it?

Shawn: What you just said reminded me of something. A few weeks ago, ben and ciara, they gave me an envelope with a printout of a sonogram that contained the baby’s gender and, I mean, they gave it to me because they wanted to be surprised, so I told them I would hold on to it.

Belle: And?

Shawn: And if the devil was after their baby, don’t you think he would want to know what’s in that envelope?

Belle: Well, where’s the envelope?

Shawn: I put it right here for safekeeping.

Jake: All right, look, it’s just all these bizarre things started happening, and every single one of them benefitted johnny and messed with me and gabi.

Ciara: What kind of bizarre things?

Jake: The meeting that i that I supposedly had with maggie kiriakis where gabi overheard me saying I was using her, right? Or how about the documents that I supposedly signed trying to steal gabi’s shares out from under her? Or how about the text messages that maggie, again, supposedly sent saying that we were working behind gabi’s back?

Ciara: And you think that johnny is behind all these things?

Jake: Look, I have been wracking my brain trying to figure out how any of this could’ve happened, right? And, like, how could gabi and I be so happy one minute and then just done the next? And the moment you guys told me that johnny could be possessed, that was the moment all this started making sense. It’s the only thing that made sense. It had to be johnny. We treat our faces to the best skin care.

Ej: You want me to argue that I deserve a new trial because my attorney was possessed by the devil?

Susan: Mm-hmm.

Ej: The judge will never buy it.

Susan: Well, why not? It’s the truth.

Ej: Because it will be seen as a stunt, a desperate attempt by a desperate man to get one over on the court.

Susan: But you’re not a desperate man. You’re an innocent man. And there’s gotta be something that someone can do to clear your name.

Chad: My god. Father. I sent ej to prison for something thought he did to abigail, and it wasn’t him.

[Line trilling]

Kate: Hello?

Chad: Hi, I need to see you as soon as possible.

Kate: Oh, I’m right here. I guess you heard the big news. Gabi fired me.

Chad: No, I hadn’T.

Kate: Ah, it’s fine. Two more days there and I would’ve quit anyway.

Chad: Gabi and johnny are going to run the company into the ground. I mean, it’s a joke. Gabi in charge and my nephew on the board. Speaking of johnny…

Kate: Yeah, what’s that?

Chad: You should sit down.

Demon johnny: Poor chad. He must be feeling so guilty right now. All because I told him that the person he saw locking lips with abigail wasn’t ej, it was belle brady. I’ve already convinced half these idiots that belle’s been wreaking havoc this whole time and not johnny dimera. It should be a breeze to get the rest of them to buy it, too.

[Laughs]

[Tense music]

Johnny: Well, now that I’ve planted the evidence to make belle look devilish, I can finally satisfy my curiosity about the bun in ciara’s oven. Are we having a boy or a girl?

Surprise, surprise. That’ll work.

Belle: I must’ve opened the envelope. I swear though I don’t remember doing that.

Shawn: Because it wasn’t you, all right, it was the devil. He must’ve been curious about what the baby’s gender was for whatever sick plan that he had.

Belle: But still–

Shawn: But now he’s gone. Okay, he’s gone.

Belle: I still think that you need to go and tell ciara. Really, and I think you need to do it right now.

Shawn: Are you sure that you’re gonna be okay alone?

Belle: Yeah, I’ll be fine.

Shawn: Okay, I’ll be back.

[Soft music]

Ciara: You’re right. All those things did benefit johnny, but belle still could’ve been behind them. I’m thinking johnny was in the right place at the right time. He took advantage of the rift belle created and tried to move in on your girlfriend and your family’s company.

Jake: So johnny’s a user and a jerk but not the devil?

Ciara: Exactly.

Jake: You could be right. But I gotta be sure.

Ben: Where are you going?

Jake: Getting to the bottom of this once and for all.

Is now a good time

for a flare-up?

Ciara: How is belle doing?

Shawn: She’s fine physically, but she’s a little concerned about the things she might’ve done to hurt the people that she loves, which is why I’m here. Look, you guys remember the envelope, the sonogram that you gave me because you didn’t want to know the gender of your baby?

Ciara: You opened it?

Shawn: No. The devil opened it.

Ciara: Oh, my god.

Shawn: Yeah. Listen, I know that you two want to keep this a surprise, but I’m trying to keep belle calm, so is there any way that you can–

Ciara: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, just leave it here with us.

Shawn: Thank you. Look, I gotta get back to belle. I know this is gonna make her heart feel good to know that you’re okay.

Ciara: Give her all of our love, okay?

Shawn: Take care of my sister.

Ben: Yes, of course, always. Let us know if you need anything.

Shawn: I will.

Ciara: Love you.

Jake: Look, I’m really sorry to bother you. I know you just went through a pretty terrible experience.

Belle: Yeah, it’s fine.

Jake: Well, listen, the last thing I want to have you do is relive any of it, but I do have a personal stake in what happened.

Belle: What do you mean?

Jake: Well, I’m trying to get to the bottom of something. And I need your help. See, if it turns out that my suspicions are correct, then I can help you out, too.

Johnny: Good morning, madame ceo. How’s your first day on the job?

Gabi: Well, I fired kate, so I’d say it’s off to an excellent start.

Johnny: Didn’t you used to be friends?

Gabi: Yeah, before jake and before she backstabbed me at the shareholders’ meeting. Why, do you have a problem with me giving her the ax?

Johnny: No, no, not at all. You’re the boss.

Gabi: You know, she thinks I can’t do this job and that I’m bad for the company. If I let her stay, I’d be worried she could turn on me at any time.

Johnny: Well, you shouldn’t have to work with anybody you can’t trust.

Gabi: Agreed. Which brings me to my next point. Johnny, can I trust you?

Kate: So it wasn’t ej who kissed your wife?

Chad: Right, it was belle, who was possessed at the time, obviously. Apparently, the devil admitted it last night before the exorcism.

Kate: Oh, my–I… okay, so why did satan make a pass at your wife?

Chad: According to johnny, it was to turn one brother against the other. And it worked. At ej’s trial, I was gonna testify that i planted the evidence against him, and then the devil made me change my mind.

Kate: Oh, my god, I’m sorry. Seriously, chad, it’s awful.

Chad: I was gonna set ej free, and I got played.

Kate: Look, you just have to take it easy.

Chad: I knew it wasn’t him that kidnapped sami. I knew that it was lucas, and i only helped with the frame-up because I wanted him to lose his job, but then when I heard that he was gonna get ten years, I couldn’t keep quiet, and I sure as hell can’t keep quiet now.

Kate: What you have to do is just like slow down–

Chad: My brother is serving a sentence for a crime he didn’t commit. What I need to do, kate, is make it right.

Ej: Mother, I love that you care so much, but as an experienced attorney, I can tell you that this devil possession argument is a total waste of time. I’m afraid it’s going to be a while before I get out of here.

Clyde: Well, if it isn’t my favorite cellmate? And who might this lovely lady be?

Ej: This is my mother, susan banks.

Susan: I know who you are. I saw your picture. You’re ben weston’s daddy. And you are a very bad, bad, bad man.

Clyde: Well then, I guess the pleasure’s all mine, ma’am. But I am expecting a call from my lawyer, so I guess I’ll just go wait over there.

Ej: That wasn’t very nice.

Susan: Elvis, elvis, you gotta listen to me. You stay away from that man. I mean, far, far, far away.

Your mission:

Ej: I can’t stay away from clyde; he’s my cellmate.

Susan: He’s done terrible things.

Ej: This is prison, mother. Everyone in here has done terrible things. But if I’m going to survive in here, I need someone to have my back.

Susan: Ooh, he’s got a secret.

Ej: [Sighs] What?

Susan: Clyde weston is hiding something from you. I can just feel it.

Ej: Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.

Susan: Well, I was gonna go back and see roger, but I’ll stay if you need me, honey.

Ej: That’s very sweet, but I can take care of myself.

Susan: Oh, I know you can. You’re a big boy. And I know that you’re gonna find a way to beat this bum rap, and get yourself out of this cursed place, and get back to your beautiful life. Oh, son. Oh, I just love you so much.

Ej: I love you, too. I love you, too. Mother?

Susan: What?

Ej: Mother.

Susan: Oh, oxygen. Gotcha, all right. I’m gonna go now.

Chad: I can’t let ej stay in prison knowing what I know. I have to get him out.

Kate: [Sighs] So what are you gonna do?

Chad: The same thing that I was gonna do before, say that I planted the evidence without implicating lucas. And, yes, I know that I’m gonna get charged with perjury.

Kate: And then you’re going to end up behind bars, too. Come on, chad, I know that you feel awful. I know that you do. But you’re gonna feel a million times worse if you’re separated from your wife and children. And, besides, honestly, looking at it, I mean, if the situation was reversed, do you really think that ej would do the same thing?

Chad: It doesn’t matter. What’s right is right. I have to call trask.

Kate: Okay, just wait, just wait. I think there may be another way.

Jake: See, I’m wondering if it was you who morphed into me for that meeting that i supposedly had with maggie.

Belle: When was it?

Jake: February 2nd.

Belle: I think I was at the prison with ej that day.

Jake: What time?

Belle: After noon.

Jake: All right, well, the meeting with maggie was in the morning, so, I mean, if you can prove that you were somewhere else at that time, then maybe we can prove that it wasn’t you you who morphed into me, that it was johnny.

Belle: Okay. Well, let me check my calendar.

Jake: Thanks.

Belle: What the…

Jake: What, it’s not your phone?

Belle: No. “If found, return to maggie kiriakis.”

Jake: Oh, my god. Maggie supposedly sent me a message after that meeting that made it look like we were conspiring behind gabi’s back. She swears she didn’t send it.

Belle: Yeah. It looks like it was me.

Jake: Look, belle, I’m sorry, I know this is all very upsetting to you, but if this is true, you have no idea what this could mean for me and gabi.

Johnny: You don’t trust me?

Gabi: Well, kate reminded me that you’ve stabbed a lot of people in the back, including your uncle, your sister, and your wife. So how do I know you won’t do the same thing to me, that you won’t use me, and get ahead, and once you do, cut me loose?

Johnny: I would never do that.

Gabi: Given what you’ve already done, I’m a tad hesitant to just take your word on it. So my question is, what is it you really want?

Ben: Guess I should probably put that away, huh?

Ciara: Wait, wait, wait. Before you do, should we look?

Gabi: Do you want to be ceo of dimera?

Johnny: Maybe, someday. I told you that.

Gabi: No, no, no, you told jake that when we were plotting behind his back.

Johnny: Look. I’m gonna be tied up with my movie for a long time. And even if I wasn’t, you’re the ceo of dimera. I kind of helped with that, you know?

Gabi: Yeah, maybe that was part of a bigger plan. Pretend you’re satisfied with a seat on the board, but really you’re plotting behind my back to get rid of me so you can take over.

Johnny: You’re very suspicious.

Gabi: Oh, I’m sorry, did I hurt your feelings?

Johnny: No, not at all. Because I can completely understand where all this is coming from. I mean, you loved a man, you trusted him, and he lied to you. He used you. He stabbed you in the back. I’m not jake.

Gabi: You hurt people you supposedly care about.

Johnny: Yeah, yeah. Look, I turned on chad because I wanted you to have this job. I spoke up about allie because I thought that her fiancé had a right to know that she slept with my wife. As for chanel, she and I would’ve never, ever lasted. She wants my sister, always has.

Gabi: If you knew that, then why’d you marry her?

Johnny: We were in italy. We got swept up in the moment, you know? As soon as we got back home, I realized she wasn’t the woman for me. You are.

Jake: I swear I did not sign that petition to steal gabi’s shares.

Belle: You know, I’m dimera’s general counsel, and I keep a copy of all the company’s legal documents on my laptop. Let’s just take a look.

Jake: What, what is it?

Belle: I created that petition. I must’ve forged your signature on it. Jake, I’m so sorry, I really–i don’t remember doing that. And I think it’s pretty clear that johnny wasn’t the one causing all those problems for you and gabi. It was me.

Jake: All right, well, look, it wasn’t your fault, right? And, honestly, you’ve done me a huge favor. Now I can go to gabi and prove to her that I didn’t betray her.

Belle: Glad I could help.

Jake: Look, I know this was not easy for you. And I need you to know I’m really grateful. I hope you feel better. I’m gonna take this back to maggie.

Belle: Yeah, just tell her I’m so, so, so, so sorry.

Jake: Belle. You’re one of the good ones. You got nothing to be sorry about.

Clyde: So that was your mama? Not exactly what I expected.

Ej: She’s a bit eccentric, but she loves me very much.

Clyde: She don’t think much of me though.

Ej: She’s just protective of ben and ciara, especially now that they’re expecting.

Clyde: Well, I’m the first to admit I wasn’t much of a daddy to ollie growing up, but, you know, we worked things out. He knows he’s got nothing to fear from me anymore. And neither do you, by the way, no matter what your mama says.

Ej: You heard that, huh?

Clyde: Yeah, but it don’t matter none; I’m in a very good mood.

Ej: I’m guessing the call with your attorney went well?

Clyde: That’s right. I may be getting out of here sooner than anyone expected.

Ben: Do you wanna look?

Ciara: Do you wanna look?

Ben: No…

Ciara: No, okay.

Ben: I guess I should probably put this thing away somewhere where we’re not gonna be so tempted.

Ciara: And where’s that?

Ben: I have no idea, but I will figure it out.

[Knocking on the door] Hey, susan, hey.

Susan: I just came to say farewell.

Ciara: Oh, you’re leaving?

Susan: Oh, well, the devil is gone now, and your baby’s safe. So my work here is done. And I just can’t wait to go see roger and get back to memphis.

Ciara: Yeah, well, I mean, thank you so much for everything.

Susan: Oh!

Ben: We really appreciate it.

Susan: Oh. Oh, sweet lord in heaven, I know what that is!

Ciara: You do?

Susan: I do, I do, yes, yes, yes, oh! Ciara and ben weston, it’s my distinct honor to announce to you that you’re gonna have a bouncing–

Ben: No, no, no!

Ciara: No!

Ben: Susan!

Ciara: No!

Limu emu

Susan: Oh, why are you yelling at me? I mean, haven’t I used my gifts for the good? And haven’t I protected you both from the devil at every turn?

Ben: Yes, you have, susan. We’re not angry with you.

Susan: You were not using your inside voices just now.

Ciara: No, I know. We’re sorry. We just–we wanted to stop you before you told us whether the baby was a boy or a girl.

Susan: Oh.

Ben: Yeah.

Susan: I see, I get it. I get it, oh, my god. You want it to be a surprise.

Ciara: Yeah.

Susan: Oh, don’t you worry, don’t you worry. All right, from this moment until the moment that bundle of joy springs forth from your womanly undercarriage, my lips are sealed.

Ciara: Okay.

Ben: Thank you, susan, thank you.

Susan: You’re welcome, you are so welcome–you know what? I gotta shove off now, so…

Ciara: Bye, susan.

Susan: Bye!

Ben: Bye, susan. Good to see you.

Susan: Good to see you.

Ciara: Well, babe, I love that woman, but that is not how I wanted to find out.

Ben: Agreed.

Ciara: Yeah.

Ben: How do you want to find out?

Ciara: Mm. I think I have an idea.

Belle: Were ben and ciara upset about the sonogram?

Shawn: No, not at all. They’re just really glad that you’re okay now. You are okay, right?

Belle: Yeah, I mean, I’m still a little shaken up.

Shawn: Did something happen when I was gone?

Belle: Jake dimera stopped by. Apparently, your sister and her husband aren’t the only couple I’ve tried to cause trouble for.

Johnny: I don’t want anything but you, gabi. We’ve already gotten everything we want. And we got it by working together. And together we can do so much more. Clearly, you’re attracted to me. I know when you were with jake, you were fighting it, but he’s out of the picture now. I’m getting divorced. We’re both single, available, hot. I think it’s time for us to–

Gabi: To what? To take this relationship to the next level?

Johnny: Yeah.

Gabi: And what level is that, johnny?

Jake: Maggie? Maggie, you here? Guess not. Dear maggie, found your phone. Call me to discuss. Jake.

Gabi: You think just because we’re single and hot–

Johnny: No, come on, gabi, we have so much more in common than that. We’re both ambitious, ruthless, incredibly passionate. We both go after what we want, and as I’ve said, what I want is you.

[Tense music]

[Cell phone buzzing]

Chad: You know a way to clear ej without incriminating me or lucas?

Kate: I think so.

Chad: Okay, I don’t know see how we can pull that off and keep everybody’s hands clean.

Kate: Well, i didn’t mention everyone. I mean, someone’s going to have to take the fall, just not you.

Chad: Okay, I’ll bite. Who?

Kate: I say we pin the crime on the devil.

Ej: You’re getting out of here?

Clyde: I got my hearing moved up. I’m before the parole board this afternoon, which means I may have spent my last night in prison.

Ej: You seem confident.

Clyde: Oh, man, I’m looking forward to a fresh start. It’s gonna feel real good walking out of here knowing that I paid for all my crimes.

[Tense music]

Anything wrong?

Ej: It was you.

Thomas: What you’re asking–

Sheila: No, what I’m asking is what’s best for everyone.

Thomas: Not everyone.

Sheila: Oh, let it go. Focus on your loved ones. Focus on what matters to you most: Your parents, your family. And they can have everything that you want for them. You just have to keep quiet. You don’t say anything, thomas. Not one word.

Steffy: Thomas? I want to find out what the hell’s going on.

Ridge: Yeah, it’s better, but it’s still not right. Try this here. Try and put this on. It’s good. Not it, though. Still something missing.

Eric: Belt the dress. It’ll make it, uh, bit more casual without losing any of this sophistication.

[ Ridge laughing ] Ladies and gentlemen, eric forrester is still the best in the business.

Eric: Thank you, thank you.

Ridge: This one? Yeah?

Eric: That’s it.

Ridge: All right. Excuse me.

[ Sighing ] Wow, you’re right. Thank you.

Eric: Perfect.

Ridge: And rebekah, thank you. You can leave that on. We’ll uh… yeah, it’s all we need today.

Rebekah: Thanks, eric.

Eric: Okay.

Ridge: What just happened?

Eric: She’s very flirty, isn’t she? I’m not complaining, it’s just interesting. Don’t tell quinn or she’ll have that young lady’s job.

Ridge: Quinn. That’s your wife. That’s right.

Eric: Yeah.

Ridge: How are you guys doing?

Eric: We’re fine, thanks for asking. How are you doing, son? Now that you and brooke are no longer living together?

Brooke: Ugh, why do I keep doing this to myself? I had the most amazing life with a man that I love so much, and I just threw it all away. What is wrong with me?

Hope: Mom, there is nothing wrong with you. You have to stop taking what happened and turning it back onto yourself.

Brooke: Honey, it is me. It is. I drank. I kissed deacon. I defended deacon when I should have been supporting my husband. This is all on me.

Hope: Okay, well, I– I don’t believe that ridge entirely sees it that way. He understands that alcohol did play a part. I mean, mom, his heart went out to you when you first told him about it. And he still loves you.

Brooke: Honey, look at the history. I’ve hurt ridge too many times, and every time I promise him it won’t happen again, and it always does. I mean, how can I expect him to believe me when I can’t even believe myself? That’s how I justified letting him go.

[ Sighing ] If I could just figure out what cost me my sobriety, you know, if I could just find that trigger. If I could do that, then maybe ridge and i could have a chance.

Ridge: How am I doing? Honestly, I don’t know.

Eric: You’re still staying at steffy and finn’s house?

Ridge: The guesthouse, yeah.

Eric: I know that must mean a lot to her and to thomas that you’re there. Taylor, too, of course.

Ridge: Well, she knows everything that’s going on. Taylor’s always been like an oasis to me.

Eric: She has always been there, hasn’t she?

Ridge: Yeah.

Eric: I think the world of her, you know? Your mother always did, too.

Ridge: She was mom’s choice for me.

Eric: Because taylor was, and is, a wonderful, lovely, principled woman. But we all know that brooke is the woman for you. I hate what this is doing to you, son. And I hate what it’s doing to brooke, too.

Thomas: You switched the champagne labels, sheila. You triggered brooke’s relapse.

Sheila: No, I did what nobody else had the guts to do, stand up to brooke.

Thomas: By using her addiction to alcohol against her?

Sheila: Oh, god. There you go again, thinking with your heart, not your head. What is wrong with you, thomas? You don’t even like brooke.

Thomas: That’s not the point. This is about–

Sheila: No, it’s about her betraying your father for the umpteenth time.

Thomas: A betrayal that was orchestrated by you.

Sheila: Yeah, that benefited you, that benefited your parents, and benefited your entire family.

Thomas: And yours. Don’t act like this was some selfless act, sheila.

Sheila: No, I never claimed otherwise. But if we can both win at the end…

Thomas: This isn’t a game, sheila. A marriage is at stake. People’s lives and happiness could be changed by what you’ve done.

Sheila: Yes. And maybe for the better. Taylor and ridge could be reunited, your family could be whole again because of me, thomas. You should be singing my praises, not contemplating ratting me out to your family.

[ Door closing ]

Finn: Babe? How long have you been home?

Steffy: Not long, why?

Finn: Ah, I was just– I was going to surprise you and have dinner ready for you when you walked through the door.

Steffy: Aw.

Finn: Ha ha. Is everything okay? You seem a little distracted.

Steffy: Uh, I’m sorry.

Finn: No, no, no, no. It’s okay. You don’t need to apologize, though, is something going on? Something wrong?

Steffy: I’m not sure exactly. It has something to do with um, my brother and your mother. When hurting feet make you want to stop,

Eric: Ridge, you know you have my support no matter… no matter what you decide about all this.

Ridge: I do know that, dad. Thank you. Not really sure how objective you could possibly be knowing how you feel about brooke.

Eric: I feel the same affection for taylor, I really do. They’re both remarkable women.

Ridge: They are. And very different women, bringing different things to my life.

Eric: And I think that’s something very important for you to remember. I know how much this time means to you, this time that you’re spending with steffy and thomas, and with taylor. You’re a supportive, attentive, loving father and grandfather. You can do that for all of them and still go back to brooke.

Brooke: Ugh! Oh, well. I never learn, do I?

Hope: Mom.

Brooke: No, it’s true. I hurt people, especially the people that I love. No wonder stephanie felt the way she did about me. I just tore through her family, ridge, eric, thorne. I can understand why she had so much contempt for me.

Stephanie: You know,

beneath that beautiful face and

body of yours is a really evil,

wicked, wicked woman

who forgot a really important

lesson in life: Evil

does not triumph over good.

Brooke: She really did despise me. And I gave her every reason to. Oh, she would be mad at me if she knew what I did to ridge this time. How I hurt him, how I let him down once again. And I– I don’t even know why.

Sheila: Okay, you might not like my methods, but you cannot argue the results. Ridge left brooke, and he is safely in the bosom of his family with your mother.

Thomas: For which I should be eternally grateful to you.

Sheila: Yes, you should be. But right now, I just want you to focus on your father and the years of humiliation that he has been through all these years with brooke. And then I want to ask yourself just one question: How much more disrespect should he and your family take? Please, just help me. Help me free ridge of brooke once and for all.

Finn: Thomas and my mother?

Steffy: Thomas hasn’t been acting like himself, especially when it comes to our parents. Like, my dad is living here, my mom and my dad, they’re getting closer.

Finn: That’s something thomas wants.

Steffy: Yeah, like, he should be happy, but instead he’s like, stressed and worried, like he’s carrying around all this weight.

Finn: Then he should be happy.

Steffy: Then why isn’t he? And now to find out that my brother is meeting up with your mom? Like, what is going on? What is thomas up to? I brought in ensure max protein,

Finn: Like, does thomas know that you saw him with sheila?

Steffy: No.

Finn: Well, then how did you

Steffy: I–I heard him on the phone at the office. And when I questioned him about it, thomas wouldn’t open up. And then when he left I um… I followed him.

Finn: To?

Steffy: Il giardino. That’s where he met up with sheila.

Sheila: Your family’s well-being is in your hands. You can choose a future where ridge and taylor are reunited, where ridge never has to suffer the pain and angst that brooke has brought into his life, a future where taylor and ridge grow old with one another. You can do this, thomas. You can rid brooke from your father’s life, from all of your lives permanently if you just keep our secret. Keep our secret. If you wimp out– just don’t wimp out! If you do, I promise you’re going to hate yourself forever.

Ridge: Thank you, dad, for your honest advice. I know you always want the best for me.

Eric: I do, but I will always believe that brooke is absolutely your destiny.

Hope: How about we go for a drive, mom? Or a walk? I mean, anything to get you out of the house because you’ve been cooped up inside, pacing around, berating yourself, and that’s not good.

Brooke: You know, I know why stephanie fought me so hard. To keep me out of ridge’s life. Because she knew it wasn’t good for him. She knew I’d keep hurting him if she didn’t stop me.

Stephanie: You have

systematically chipped away

at the integrity of

our family over these years.

You’ve besmirched our name,

tainted our reputation,

and brought nothing, nothing

but scandal and misery to us.

Brooke: You know,

stephanie, you talk about

integrity and honor.

But what kind of a person

finds pleasure in

somebody else’s misery?

Stephanie: Well,

you tell me, miss.

Didn’t taylor beg you to

leave her family alone?

You knew the heartbreak

you were putting her through,

and you didn’t care.

You didn’t care at all.

You saw an opening and

you took it, and you drove

that woman right to the edge.

Brooke: I don’t need

to justify myself to you,

not after what you did to me.

Stephanie: I was

protecting my family.

Brooke: By corrupting mine!

Stephanie: Well, honey,

you reap what you sow.

Brooke: Hah! You think

I brought this on myself?

Stephanie: Yes.

You told me that you would

destroy my family and

there wasn’t anything

that I could do about it.

Well, you were wrong.

I didn’t have to do something

about it because ridge

came to his senses.

And now they all see you for

exactly what you are,

and they don’t want to have

anything to do with you.

You’re finished, brooke.

You’re finally finished.

Brooke: I regret letting him go. But I do love ridge. I always will. Maybe stephanie was right all along.

[ Brooke sighing ] Nicorette knows, quitting smoking is freaking hard.

Finn: Maybe thomas and sheila just ran into each other at il giardino?

Steffy: It wasn’t like that. They weren’t sitting at a table. They weren’t by the bar.

Finn: Well, where were they?

Steffy: They were in the alley behind the restaurant.

Finn: That’s weird.

Steffy: You know what’s weird? My brother can’t stand sheila. But yet there he was, with sheila, alone. Like, they were very intense, but I don’t know what they were talking about. Like, what would my brother have to discuss with her? Why would he do that? What is going on with my brother and your mother?

Sheila: You can do this,

thomas.

You can rid brooke from

your father’s life, from all of

your lives permanently if

you just keep our secret.

Brooke: Stephanie was unrelenting. There’s nothing she wouldn’t say or do to keep me out of ridge’s life.

Stephanie: Like I’ve tried

to teach you ever since

the first miserable day

that you walked into my life:

My family stands for integrity,

and honor, and love.

That’s how we have

survived your craziness

all of these years.

And now it’s over, it’s over.

And I get to say with

a delicious little smile

on my face: I won.

I won.

[ “I won” echoing ]

Brooke: She knew me better than I know myself. I gave up the best man in the world, all because of that one night. That one night, hope, that cost me everything.

Hope: Mom, ridge loves you.

Brooke: Well then why would I do that? Why would I hurt him again like that? I mean, first there was bill, and then there was deacon. I mean, what is wrong with me? I have a serious flaw in my character. And stephanie saw that. That is why she did everything she possibly could to get rid of me out of her life, out of ridge’s life. And now he is. I mean, he’s over at steffy and taylor’S. I set him free, and I told him I’d make the divorce easy. I don’t know why I did that. I don’t want a divorce. I don’t want to spend one more day without him.

Hope: Tell him what’s in your heart.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: I can’T. I can’t eat or– I can’t sleep. I– I can’t do anything without you, ridge. I made a mistake by sending you over to taylor’s and steffy’S. I never should have let you walk out that door. But I did. But it’s not what I want. I want to be able to work through this, and I, I believe it’s something that maybe we can do together. I need you to come home. Come back to me, ridge, please. Come home.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Billy: You know that thing in your life that you want to hold onto so desperately? You do so so tightly that you end up draining it of its joy. You end up squeezing the life out of it. The thing you want the most becomes the most illusive, and your frustration grows because you’re trying to control something that is out of your control. You end up closing off or hitting a wall. I can’t be the only one. But I think I might have just landed on something that helps me. By closing my eyes, by quieting my system, by calming my mind and simply breathing. I sit here open to the possibilities, the opportunity to allow the thing that I want most in my life…to arrive.

Phyllis: Thank you for bringing in my luggage. You’re such a gentleman.

Jack: It is the least I can do after all you did for me in la.

Phyllis: I’d like to do a little more for you.

Jack: Oh?

Phyllis: Yeah, I’d like to do a deeper dive into who’s sending you those texts.

Jack: Thank you. I can’t even think about that right now.

Phyllis: Okay. Well, I understand. The whole trip, it was a lot to process, that you have a new granddaughter.

Jack: Yeah, I wouldn’t have gotten through any of this without your companionship and support. You know that.

Phyllis: I was happy to be there. You can count on me.

Jack: Thank you.

Phyllis: Honestly, I wish i would’ve gotten a chance to get to know allie a little better.

Jack: Yeah, same here, but I haven’t given up. It may still happen.

Allie: Hey, dad. I still can’t believe that you’re really gone, dad. I miss you so much. Why did this happen? What am I gonna do without you?

[ Door closes ]

Jack: [ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Billy: What I’m talking about is meditation. Now, let me be very clear. I am early in on this journey, and from what I understand, it’s not a cure-all but more a tool to help you calm your mind. And as I sit here with my small sample size, it has helped me get into a mind-set to talk to you all freely, with no barriers, with no hang-ups, without over-thinking it. Because the truth is I’m not sure where this adventure’s going to take me emotionally or otherwise, but I’m not gonna think about that. I’m gonna take a leap of faith and I’m gonna put it all out there. And I’m gonna enjoy the ride.

Devon: Jill! How you doing? It’s great to see you. You look amazing.

Jill: Well, you look healthy and happy yourself. Thank you for chatting with me.

Devon: Oh, absolutely. You know I’ll chat with you anytime. It’s actually funny that you wanted to do this because I was planning to reach out to you to discuss something.

Jill: Really. Maybe we want to talk about the same thing. Why don’t I go first?

Devon: Be my guest.

Jill: Why the hell are you throwing away the chance of a lifetime? This is the sound of nature breathing.

Billy: Now, I can’t take credit for this new approach. The suggestion came from my amazing sister, and of course, i gave her a hard time about it in the beginning, ’cause that’s what I do, but once I got over myself and I actually tried it, she was right. Because she’s always right. And like I said, I am just beginning to dabble in it, but so far, so good. And I am fully aware by even talking about it, it might defeat the purpose and maybe this is gonna come across very annoying, like I am describing my dreams, and if that’s — if that’s the way it comes across, I apologize. And who knows? Maybe nobody’s gonna even listen to this in the first place. But I have to say that I have had a blessed life. But I’ve also had my struggles. I’ve had a fair share of pain and I have made mistakes. So if this offering can help one person or, better yet, collectively, we can help each other get past the things that hold us back, then, without question, all of it…is absolutely worth it.

Traci: Oh, I thought I heard somebody down here. When did you get home?

Jack: Just got in.

Traci: Well, I am dying to hear every detail about your trip, but if you’re tired, i understand.

Jack: Oh, no, I’m so wound up, I can’t even think about sleeping.

Traci: Mwah. Well, how about I make us some tea?

Jack: You know what? That sounds great. Oh, and about the talk, fair warning, I got a lot to tell.

Traci: I assumed as much.

Jack: It’s stuff I want to tell the whole family, but I’d love to run it by you first, if you’re okay with that.

Devon: I imagine that the chance of a lifetime I’m throwing away is merging chancellor and hamilton-winters, right?

Jill: Good guess. Must be why you have the ceo title and the big office.

Devon: Well, you know, those are two things that I really do love, jill.

Jill: Oh, I’m sure you do. But before you say anything else, let me just tell you that when lily first pitched the idea to me, I was floored. But I quickly came to realize, devon, it is inspired. Together, our two companies would be unstoppable. Look what the newman/locke merger has done for those entities.

Devon: Yeah, I can definitely see the possibilities, but you and I both know that there are complications that come with making a power play like that.

Jill: With a company as big as ours would be, we could handle any difficulties.

Devon: No, I know that, jill, and, believe me, I haven’t stopped considering it at all. I just feel like we need to focus on this first joint venture that we have going and see how that goes first before we take the next step.

Jill: Oh, I already know how it’s gonna go — fabulously. It’s you and lily. I see nothing but success for any co-production between the two of you. But let me say that I think delaying the bigger move would be a huge mistake. Think about what katherine or neil would do in this situation.

Devon: Yeah, I’m pretty sure that neil and katherine would both take their time before making such a big decision like this, and they would weigh everything very carefully.

Jill: And then they would both agree this is the right move. I have looked at this from every single angle, and I have to tell, it almost seems like it was written in the stars. Katherine would love that you were involved in running chancellor.

Devon: I know that what you’re saying is true and I also know that neil would love to know that his kids are working together, because we created hamilton-winters to be a family company.

Jill: And on top of all that, you are now a third parent to my great-grandson. How much more family can we get?

Billy: The good, the bad, the ugly, and everything in between — that’s what you’re gonna get from me. And I thought that I would start with a story about a sweet little girl whose death changed my life forever. Now, I should probably warn you, there are parts of this story that are a little bit rough. But it’s the defining moment in my adult life and, for me, the only place to begin. A shocking loss that led me down a path into darkness. A cautionary tale that gets worse before it gets better. Now, I don’t think that I will ever entirely heal, but the truth is I’m not sure if I want to, and the fear is that I would somehow lose the memories. Somehow my sweet daughter would disappear in some sort of way, and…I like having her there in whatever capacity I can get. But her memory has not been serving me in the way that it could. And I’m hoping that I finally figured out that the key to it is to love her, honor her, and celebrate her without letting the pain and grief and anger drive me. Now, the ending of this story isn’t exactly happy because happy would mean that she is still here. But it’s filled with beautiful memories. And the fact that I was able to love her, and that gives me strength, and I’m hoping that this can be an uplifting, empowering story. Because with all the pain, I am still forever grateful and consider myself incredibly lucky that I was able to know her in the way that I did. Even if it was for way too short of a time.

Nyquil severe gives you

powerful relief

Jack: “I found a way to let go of my anger. I’ve forgiven you. But I can’t see you or be part of your life. I’m sorry for that. I wish I was stronger or better somehow, but this is the way it has to be, at least for now. You should know, even though i still can’t bring myself to bridge that gap, that de– that deep down…a son will always love his father.”

Traci: Oh, jack.

[ Sighs ] I’m so glad that you weren’t alone when you found these, and I wish I had been there for you.

Jack: You know what? Phyllis was really there. She was as strong and as good a friend as I could’ve asked for during this emotional roller coaster.

Traci: Yes.

Jack: I just wish I’d reached out to keemo one last time.

Traci: Oh, no, no, you cannot blame yourself for that. A relationship is a two-way street.

Jack: Yeah, my brain knows that, my heart still just hurts.

Traci: Jack, it’s gonna take time.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah, it’s gonna take time, and my emotions have been all over the place.

Traci: Of course they have, because they’re trying to make sense of something that doesn’T.

Jack: How is it you always know the right thing to say?

Traci: [ Chuckles ] I don’t know about that, but I’m just doing the best I can, same as you. And this situation is so overwhelming.

Jack: You don’t know the half of it.

Traci: [ Sighs ] I’m afraid to ask. What — what? There’s something more?

Jack: Well, when luan died, keemo left genoa city and he got on with his life. He found some happiness. He met someone. He fell in love. He got married. He had a child.

Traci: I’m sorry, what?

Jack: You have a great-niece. I have a granddaughter.

Traci: Oh. [ Chuckles ] Oh, jack!

Amanda: Thank you for calling me. We are so overdue for some girl time. So tell me about all of your adventures with jack.

Phyllis: Adventures?

Amanda: Okay, I didn’t mean that the way that it sounded.

Phyllis: Uh, definitely adventure — I don’t know if it’s the right word. I mean, it just felt really great giving emotional support to jack when he’s usually extending that to me.

Amanda: Well, I’m really glad that you were there for jack when he needed you. And I don’t know what happened, but is there any way that these supportive feelings turned romantic?

Phyllis: It wasn’t like that at all.

Traci: Okay, you’re gonna have to go back and take me through this one step at a time, ’cause I — I mean, how old is she? What’s her name? Did you get to meet her?

Jack: Her name is allie. I met her today, and she is a bright, beautiful young graduate student.

Traci: Okay, so we’re not talking about a little girl.

Jack: Oh, no, no, she’s an adult. Here. Yeah, I missed out on her childhood the same way I missed out on keemo’S.

Traci: Oh, jack, she’s just beautiful.

Jack: Yeah.

Traci: Is she the one that’s been sending you these cryptic texts?

Jack: No. She had no idea who I was. Now, who– whoever sent those texts, if the purpose was to get me closer to my granddaughter, the texter succeeded.

Traci: How is it possible she didn’t know anything about you?

Jack: Because keemo insisted she not know I even existed.

Traci: Oh, jack, I’m sorry.

Jack: Yeah, it’s a lot to take in, but I’ll work my way through that.

Traci: Yes, yes, you will, and I still have a whole bunch of questions. Starting with, when do I get to meet this new member of our family?

Jack: Well, I’d love for that to happen soon, but…not right away. No, I — if it’s going to happen — and believe me, I want it to happen — it’s gonna take some time.

Billy: After I lost my daughter, I felt myself building these walls around my heart, around everything good in my life, and maybe that was self-preservation. Clearly I was trying to protect myself, but the problem was these walls were built with hatred. And they were aimed directly at the person responsible for her death.

[ Sighs ] I realized that really it was me avoiding dealing directly with my sense of loss…and with my own guilt. All of it festering under the surface. At times, lying dormant, but at other times erupting, and when it did, it wasn’t good. I acted out in a way that was scary and sometimes very troubling. At one point, pushing my mind to actually splinter.

[ Sighs ] But I’m lucky. I had the love of a good friend and I had therapy to put myself back togetheR. And after backsliding more times than I care to mention… something amazing happened to me. Something very surprising. Something that saved me. Pure and simple…love.

Devon: Well, thank you for coming by. Hope I didn’t call you too late.

Lily: No, no, I was up. Is everything okay? Dom’s good?

Devon: Yeah, yeah, dom is getting better every day.

Lily: Good.

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: But I’m guessing you called me over here for more than just a catch-up?

Devon: Yeah, yeah, I did. Jill called me tonight.

Lily: Oh.

Devon: Mm-hmm.

Lily: To talk about the merger?

Devon: Mm-hmm, yes.

Lily: Okay, I did not put her up to that, I promise you.

Devon: I know you didn’T. Nobody puts jill up to anything.

Lily: That’s very true. So…what happened?

Devon: She wouldn’t take no for an answer is what happened.

Lily: Does that mean that she convinced you?

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Traci: How is it that allie doesn’t want to see you again after just having met you?

Jack: Actually, allie proposed that we get together sometime in the future, you know, for coffee next time I’m in la. It’s cute. I made the same offer. I don’t expect much to come of it.

Traci: Why not?

Jack: Well, I think her first instinct is to run for the hills and forget we ever met. Now, I don’t blame her. I really don’t, on some level. She has her own life. She’s mourning her father’s death. And I show up in the middle of her grieving and it’s like a bomb. She was as shocked by my existence as I was by hers. I don’t blame her if she decides she wants to back up and walk away.

Traci: Well, I take all of your points. It’s just I find the whole situation so heartbreaking.

Jack: Yeah, it didn’t exactly go like I planned. But I’m not giving up. I am convinced I can forge some kind of relationship with my granddaughter, some kind of bond. She just needs time to get used to the idea — it’s more than time. I — I have to find some way to let her know artfully, carefully, subtly, that the abbotts’ door is always open to her.

Allie: I wish you could give me a sign or something, dad. God, I am just…so confused. In the past, when I needed to talk to someone, you were the one who I turned to. When things got rough, I leaned on you. And now… I have no one.

[ Sighs ] Or at least nobody like you. Mom is a million miles away, busy with her own life. And we both know that’s never gonna change. You’re gone and, uh…you’re never really coming back, are you? And now…jack abbott shows up. How do I know if I can trust him? I mean, the last thing I would want to do is disgrace your memory by doing something that you wouldn’t approve of. If you cut him out of your life, then shouldn’t I do the same? My a1c stayed here,

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Phyllis: What happened with jack in california was so heavy. I mean, all the emotions that he dealt with, the loss of his son, then all the other stuff that came up, it just…

Amanda: I’m sorry. I am — I’m so sorry that i tried to make light of the situation by, you know, asking if it went romantic.

Phyllis: No, you’re okay. I mean, it just wasn’t that kind of trip.

Amanda: Okay, I got it.

Phyllis: Yeah, and, you know, jack and I are not in the romantic mind-set.

Amanda: Mm. Great.

Phyllis: I thought we made that clear. I mean, I thought we were okay on that.

Amanda: Yeah, I put that topic to bed.

Phyllis: Oh, good, good, because it’s a non-starter.

Amanda: Okay, well, you’re the one that still keeps talking about it.

Phyllis: I’m not talking about it, just…

Amanda: I just want to say that I know that jack appreciated you being there for him. You are that rare person that would drop everything and fly across the country when somebody needs you.

Phyllis: That’s sweet. I am.

[ Chuckles ] And it wasn’t a sacrifice, by the way. I was happy to be there for jack.

Amanda: See, I think that you and jack, your relationship has just — it’s reached a new level, even if it’s not romantic.

Phyllis: You know what? It has. You’re right, it has reached a new level.

Jack: Well, I have been going on and on. What do you think?

Traci: [ Sighs ] Well, I don’t want to dampen your hopes.

Jack: But?

Traci: I also don’t want to see you set yourself up to be disappointed.

Jack: I’m calling it guarded optimism.

Traci: [ Chuckles ] I consider myself an optimist, too.

Jack: I know. I know where you’re going next. I’m telling you, you don’t have to worry about me. I am moving forward with my eyes wide open, well aware this may not work out. But I’m thinking maybe the door won’t always be closed. I see in allie this bright, resourceful young woman, but i also am aware she needs family. She’s lost family. Her whole family’s been upended.

Traci: What about her other relatives? I mean, where’s her mother?

Jack: Well, she said that keemo and her mother divorced some time ago and that she and her mother have kind of a rocky relationship. When I look in her eyes, I just see someone who’s alone, afraid, and sad.

Traci: She’s not the only one who’s sad, jack.

Jack: Yeah, it’s been a rough time all around.

Traci: But you have handled this with generosity and grace, and I admire your determination. I know I had reservations, but i am so grateful that you went all the way to los angeles looking for answers. And you found allie. And I’m equally glad that you’re home, where your family can take care of you.

Jack: Thanks. Needed this.

Traci: [ Laughs ] And speaking of family, everyone else is gonna want to know every detail.

Jack: You know what, you know what, I do want to tell everyone, but look at the hour. Not everyone’s on la time. You know what? I’m gonna go for a drive and try to wind down.

Traci: [ Chuckles ] Jack, you are going to work your way through this, and you’re not gonna have to do it alone. I love you so much.

[ Chuckles ]

Jack: I love you. I cannot believe my son is gone.

Traci: I know.

Jack: But I am determined not to let that happen to my granddaughter.

Devon: Yeah, no, jill just made about as good of an argument as you did about why we should merge the companies.

Lily: Okay, but are you buying it?

Devon: Um…the more I think about it, the more I love the idea of paying homage to family. I will say that.

Lily: So does that mean you’re closer to a yes than before?

Devon: I would have to see a very detailed proposal on how it would all work out.

Lily: Well, funny enough, i actually already have one made, ready for you to view.

Devon: Really?

Lily: I do.

Devon: I bet you do.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Devon: I bet you do.

[ Chuckles ] You never doubted yourself on pulling this off, have you?

Lily: No, that’s not true. I just… I was really hoping that the idea of bringing family together would eventually sway you.

Devon: [ Chuckles ] That’s another thing, too, ’cause, like, the benefits of a merger are obvious to me, of course. But I would want to make sure that that never caused any trouble between you and me. Just ’cause I know, we’ve seen family, you know, turn on each other because of business, and i don’t want that to ever happen.

Lily: I understand that. But I really don’t think that’s gonna happen to us. I mean, first of all, I trust you more than anyone else in the world. And secondly, like, we’ve been through so much together, right? Like, teenage years, everything. I mean, in my mind, there’s no amount of corporate friction that could ever sever our bond.

Devon: No. Are you sure about that?

Lily: Yes, I am. And honestly, I would step away from all of it if our relationship were ever put on the line.

Devon: You’d step down as ceo?

Lily: Absolutely, yes.

Devon: Well, I mean, I guess then I would have to make that same promise to you. And if anything ever goes bad, I’ll step down, too.

Lily: So are we on the same page?

Devon: I think we are.

Lily: Okay, I want to hear you say it.

Devon: Okay.

Lily: Say the words.

Devon: I’m ready. I’m ready to take this shot. Let’s do it. Let’s make dad and katherine proud.

Lily: Oh! I’m so happy.

[ Both laugh ]

Devon: Me too. A jelly bean that’s good for you?

Billy: Hey.

Lily: Hi.

Billy: How was your evening?

Lily: Well, I’m very glad you asked. It was amazing. How was yours?

Billy: It was good, but i want to hear about yours first.

Lily: Well, I had a breakthrough with devon and the merger. So a lot of work and negotiations have to be done, but I think it might actually happen.

Billy: Oh, my gosh, that’s amazing. Congratulations. How did you convince him?

Lily: Well, I mean, your mother, of course, helped, but i think the clincher was that i told him no business would ever come between us. And I meant it, you know? We’ve been through so much together. I really do believe that our relationship is unbreakable.

Billy: I don’t doubt it.

Lily: So what’s your news? Tell me.

Billy: Well, I had a bit of a breakthrough myself. You know that traci suggested i try meditation, so I have for the last few days, and I have to say, it has really helped calm my mind and helped me feel open emotionally. I just finished my first podcast, and I have to say, it felt good. I put it out there for the world to hear.

Lily: That’s amazing.

Billy: Yeah.

Lily: Are you happy with it?

Billy: I am. Yeah, I mean, I don’t know if anyone’s gonna listen to it, but that’s not up to me. But it felt cathartic.

Lily: Wow. See? I knew you could do it. I knew you’d find a way to get your inspiration out. I can’t wait to hear it.

Billy: Well, I should warn you, little bit of a spoiler alert, you do factor into it, kind of a reoccurring theme.

Lily: Oh, god.

Billy: No, it’s not bad. It’s — it’s all good because the truth is, I’ll never get tired of telling you that you saved my life.

Amanda: Hey.

Devon: Hey.

Amanda: I’m home.

Devon: Hi.

[ Chuckles ] How you doing?

Amanda: I’m good. Mm. [ Chuckles ] Well, that is a really nice welcome home.

[ Both laugh ]

Devon: There’s more where that came from.

Amanda: Yeah?

Devon: Mm-hmm.

Amanda: Whoa, okay, okay. Okay, romeo.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Amanda: Am I just that irresistible today or is something else going on?

Devon: Well, you’re irresistible every day, but, yeah, I do have some big news. Uh, lily and I have decided to move forward with merging our companies.

Amanda: Are you kidding?

Devon: No.

Amanda: Wow, that’s — that’s fantastic.

Devon: Yeah, I thought so.

Amanda: Yeah. I’m happy for you, really.

Devon: Is that your happy face?

[ Chuckles ]

Amanda: I’m just — I’m hoping that lily didn’t push you into this.

Devon: No, I promise you she didn’t at all. I considered her options and i got input from other people, but, no, the decision was mine.

Amanda: And you thought this through?

Devon: Yes, I did.

Amanda: Okay, well, then I’m ecstatic.

Devon: Yeah?

Amanda: I’m so excited.

[ Both laugh ]

Devon: Well, thank you. There’s still a lot of — a lot of stuff to nail down, but…

Amanda: Yes, and as the head of chancellor’s legal department, I am well aware this deal is gonna be complicated, but potentially groundbreaking. And there’s the added bonus of the two of us working together.

Devon: Oh, that’s right. That is right.

Amanda: Oh, I will be tough but fair.

Devon: You’re always fair.

Amanda: [ Laughs ]

Devon: Mm. I haven’t been this happy in a very, very long time, you know that?

Amanda: Yeah?

Devon: Yeah. Between you and dominic getting healthy and this merger and everything, just feels like life is coming together really, really well. And you know, when we pull this off, it’s not just gonna change our lives and lily’s life, our two families’ legacies will never be the same again.

[ Both chuckle ]

Phyllis: Hey. Oh, what are you doing here? Is something wrong?

Jack: No, no, no, I just couldn’t sleep.

Phyllis: Neither can I.

Jack: I also wanted to take one more chance to say thank you for being there for me the last couple of days.

Phyllis: I was happy to do it. You don’t need to keep on thanking me.

Jack: I am not gonna let you be dismissive of the kindness and friendship and loyalty you’ve shown. It means the world to me.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Phyllis: Is that the texter? Hey, what does it say? Don’t keep me in suspense. What can I du with less asthma?

Billy: I’m not sure I’m in a position to be giving advice to anyone. I’ve gone about a lot of things in my life the wrong way. But I’m hoping maybe my mistakes can serve as a warning to people who are at risk of falling down the rabbit hole like I did. Everyone’s experience is different, and what may help one person may not work for another. But, like I said, my saving grace was — as the old cliché goes — pure and simple…love. Love can often come as a it can also make you look at the future with fresh eyes. I’m a big believer in second chances. And third and fourth and fifth chances — coming to you when you least expect it.

Allie: Mm.

[ Gasps ] Is someone there?

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Devon: I thought I heard nate’s voice in here. What are you doing?

Nate: How would you like to be neighbors again?

Jack: It’s from our friendly anonymous texter. “Doing what I can to help. I think allie might be more receptive soon.”

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.

Proofread by Anita

Carly: Hello. Willow? Hello? Willow, are you there?

[ Cellphone rings ]

Carly: Hey, Diane, what’s up?

Diane: I’m at the PCPD. Michael’s been arrested.

Carly: What?

Diane: He punched a reporter in front of commissioner Ashford.

Carly: Oh, why?

Diane: Well, apparently, said reporter was asking some not-so-polite questions about Josslyn’s leaked video.

Carly: [ Sighs ] I’m on my way.

Sonny: Hey, Shawn.

Shawn: Hey, Sonny. How you doing, man?

Sonny: What’s going on?

Shawn: [ Chuckles ] Hey.

Sonny: I was, uh — I wa– Olivia sent me some dinner, and I was just going to, you know, thank her.

Shawn: Well, I’m just meeting, uh, TJ, Molly, and Jordan. Have a seat.

Sonny: Okay.

Shawn: Of course, they’re off saving the world, and I’m the first one here, so…

Sonny: Don’t sell yourself short. You turned The Invader from a scandal rag to a legitimate publication.

Shawn: [ Chuckles ]

Sonny: So, Kristina says that you hired Alexis?

Shawn: That I did.

Sonny: Make a good team?

Shawn: Yes, I thought so.

Alexis: [ Sighs ]

[ Monitor beeps ]

[ Knock on door ]

Smoltz: Good. You’re still here.

Alexis: You know, it’s customary to ask, “Is this a good time?” And, by the way, the answer would be no, Smoltz. So why don’t you come back tomorrow morning? Better yet, e-mail me.

Smoltz: Sorry, this is too good. I’ve got a story that is perfect for The Invader, trust me. You’re not going to want to miss out.

Diane: I spoke to Carly. She should be here soon.

Michael: She should be focused on Joss, not me.

Diane: I am doing everything I can to get justice for your sister. Just so you know, this doesn’t help.

Michael: I know.

Diane: Unfortunately, because of the time, you’re probably going to be arraigned tomorrow. So unless this Smoltz decides to drop the charges, you are in here for the night.

Michael: Well, wouldn’t be the first time.

Diane: You sound exactly like Jason.

Michael: How many times you been through this drill with him?

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Well, I’d have to check my records, but we were in the triple digits.

Michael: Well, you know what? You always found a way to make him walk in the end, though.

Diane: Yes, but to the best of my recollection, Jason never punched a reporter in front of the police commissioner.

Jordan: Mr. Corinthos, you’ll be transferred to holding soon.

Michael: Can I ask you a question?

Jordan: Sure.

Michael: What are you doing to catch the bastard who ruined my sister’s life?

Harmony: Phyllis, it’s good to see you again. I had no idea you were in Port Charles.

Phyllis: It’s a relatively new development.

Nina: I forgot that you used to go by the name Lorraine.

Harmony: Another lifetime.

Nina: So, um, get a chair. Join us? How do you guys know each other?

Phyllis: We worked together in New York City. Well, technically not with each other. She cared for another patient in the same building where I cared for you.

Harmony: Nina was your patient? You were such a stickler for privacy, I never knew.

Phyllis: So how do you know Nina?

Nina: Well, Harmony is Willow’s mother. You know, Willow, right?

Phyllis: Of course, she adopted Wiley. What a small world.

TJ: Hey! Willow. Willow. Can you hear me?

TJ: You’re still with us. Come on. Come on, wake up. Willow. Willow. Hey. Hey, can you talk to me? It’s Dr. Ashford.

Willow: TJ?

TJ: Do you remember anything? Here.

Willow: Uh, no. No, it’s all fuzzy.

TJ: Okay, can you follow the light? Good. You look alright, but I’m still admitting you.

Willow: No.

TJ: Yes. Can I call someone for you?

Willow: My mom. You can call my mom.

TJ: Okay.

Nina: So how was your visit with Lenny’s friend?

[ Cellphone rings ]

Phyllis: It was nice. Always good to hear old stories.

[ Both chuckle ]

Nina: Yeah, it is. I bet.

Harmony: Excuse me. Hi, honey.

TJ: This is Dr. Ashford at general hospital. Your daughter fainted on site. I’ll be admitting her.

Harmony: Oh, my god. Okay, okay, thank you. I’ll be right there. Uh, I’m so sorry, but I have to go.

Nina: Um, Harmony, is everything okay?

Harmony: I’ll think about what you proposed and let you know.

Phyllis: Uh…

[ Door closes ]

Diane: Will you let me handle this, please? Well?

Jordan: You know how this works, Diane. I can’t disclose details of an ongoing investigation.

Diane: Ah, so there is an investigation.

Michael: She’s my sister, Commissioner.

Jordan: I only recently learned about this. Soon as we get something more concrete, I’ll let Josslyn know.

Carly: Hey. Hi. Are you okay?

Michael: Yeah, yeah, I’m fine. How’s Josslyn?

Carly: She’s hanging in there. Look, I got a weird phone call from Willow. Does she know you’re here?

Michael: Yeah, she was there when the whole thing happened.

Carly: I guess I’ll just text her.

Michael: Why didn’t you tell me about Joss?

Carly: I was going to. I didn’t have a chance.

Michael: I’m afraid that reporter’s going to make things worse for her.

Carly: Well, who the hell is this guy?

Jordan: Freelance. He’s written several articles for The Invader.

Carly: Pre- or post-Shawn?

Jordan: Pre.

Carly: Well, that’s good. Maybe Alexis will be able to shut it down. Diane, can you please take care of him?

Diane: Of course.

Carly: Thank you. I love you.

Michael: Love you.

Carly: Alright. Excuse me.

[ Door opens, closes ]

TJ: Willow passed out.

Willow: I’m — I’m fine.

Epiphany: We will let a doctor be a judge of that.

TJ: I texted Dr. Nelson that I was bringing her down to admit her.

Epiphany: Okay, well, I will put her in an exam room and check her vitals while we wait.

Willow: [ Sighs ] I need to know how Michael is doing. Wait, do you have my phone?

TJ: Yeah.

Willow: Thank you. He’s being held at the PCPD overnight? Oh, my God.

Epiphany: There is nothing that you can do for Michael if you’re not well.

Willow: But this is serious.

Epiphany: So is this. Now, what would you tell one of your patients, hmm?

Willow: I would advocate for them to take care of themselves first.

Epiphany: Good answer. Now, let’s go do just that.

Willow: [ Sighs ] Thank you for everything, really.

TJ: Of course. Keep me updated? Thanks.

Alexis: Well, like I’ve said, The Invader is not a tabloid, so if this is another one of your gossipy pitches, you can save us both the trouble.

Smoltz: I took your notes from our last meeting. This story checks all the boxes for the paper’s new mission. I even got this for my troubles. Yeah, that’s how much I believe in it.

Alexis: Okay, go ahead. Let’s hear it.

Smoltz: First off, it’s got a hot-button social-justice angle — nonconsensual pornography, aka revenge porn. A video was sent out to the entire student body at PCU, even played on a projector in a classroom.

Alexis: Hopefully, by accident.

Smoltz: So, from there, we’ve also got cyber bullying and technology run amok. Then there’s the whole criminal aspect.

Alexis: Yeah, I know, Smoltz, yeah. Revenge porn has been illegal in New York state since 2019.

Smoltz: Correctamundo. And the cherry on top? It involves a very influential mob family.

Alexis: Ah, there it is. Drifting to the salacious territory. So do you have any facts to back up your claims this time?

Smoltz: Yeah. Michael Corinthos clocked me in the face when I tried to interview him.

Alexis: Oh, that influential mob family. Yeah. And one of the victims in this story is his sister, Josslyn Jacks.

Sonny: Is there a problem with Alexis?

Shawn: No. The Invader’s a huge success because of her. I just meant she really doesn’t need me to run it anymore. I acquired the West Coast newspapers to expand The Invader’s reach, and I leave tomorrow for San Francisco to get everything started.

Sonny: Look at you. Bona fide media mogul.

Shawn: Ah, I’m just a man who wanted a fresh start.

Sonny: Well, you got it. And you know what? Doesn’t happen for everyone.

Shawn: I heard about the divorce. I’m sorry.

Sonny: Yeah, so am I.

Shawn: How’s the rest of the family doing?

Sonny: Oh, look who it is, the power couple.

Molly: Hi, Uncle Sonny.

Sonny: [ Chuckles ]

Molly: Hi.

TJ: It’s good to see you.

Sonny: Yeah, you, too.

TJ: Did my dad tell you about his expanding media empire?

Sonny: Yeah, at length, actually.

[ Laughter ]

Shawn: Okay, okay, hold on. I’m supposed to be bragging about you, out there saving lives. Look at you.

Molly: Oh, well, just another day, right, babe?

TJ: Bragging rights go both ways.

Molly: Hey, can you join us for dinner?

Sonny: No, no. I was just, uh — just going to pick up — whatever. It doesn’t matter. Listen, have a — have a great time in San Francisco.

Shawn: Right.

Sonny: Enjoy your family.

Shawn: Thank you, my friend.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Sonny: Officer Bentley, what can I do for you? Whoa, whoa, wait. What about Michael?

Alexis: Are you sure it’s Joss in the video?

Smoltz: With her boyfriend, Cameron Webber.

Alexis: They must be horrified.

Smoltz: So what do you say?

Alexis: I admit it’s better than the other stories that you’ve pitched me. But if you’re really in line with the new direction that The Invader is taking, why did Michael clock you?

Smoltz: I may have raised the possibility that his sister and her boyfriend put up the video themselves.

Alexis: You provoked the victim’s family by sensationalizing the story? Do you see, Smoltz? Do you see why I would doubt your ability to report with accuracy?

Smoltz: [ Sighs ] Cards on the table?

Alexis: Please. I want the distinction of an Invader byline. It’s held in high regard now. In return, you get a piece on a hot-button issue featuring a hot-button family. You know as well as I do the Corinthos name sells. So do we have a deal?

Carly: I’d think twice about that.

Epiphany: [ Sighs ] Your B.P. Is low, and your respirations are shallow and rapid.

Willow: Well, I’m — I’m stressed about Michael and Josslyn. That’s — that’s understandable, isn’t it?

Epiphany: Have you eaten today? Mm-hmm. You don’t have to be a nurse to know that stress and lack of nutrition is a bad combination. You need to take better care of yourself. Our patients do not need our nurses collapsing on them.

Willow: I know, I know. [ Sighs ] I am so embarrassed.

Epiphany: We’ve all been there. [ Chuckles ] [ Sighs ] I remember when I was a student nurse. [ Chuckles] I once drank so much coffee, trying to stay awake during clinicals that I spent half my shift doubled over in pain in the break room. Worst stomach ache of my life. [ Laughs ]

Willow: I can’t even imagine that. You’re such an amazing nurse.

Epiphany: Sucking up to me is not going to get a doctor in here any faster.

[ Both chuckle ]

Epiphany: I’m good at my job. I love what I do.

Willow: I really love it, too. Which surprised me. When I was teaching, I never thought I’d do anything else. Did you always want to be a nurse?

Epiphany: Hm. No, actually. But, uh, nursing’s been good to me. I love caring for patients. It brings me joy.

Michael: [ Sighs ] What are you doing here?

Sonny: I heard you were arrested. You alright?

Michael: I’m fine.

Sonny: Diane, can you get him out of here?

Diane: Well, that’s the plan, but he’ll be spending the night here unless I can work some magic with the D.A. So wish me luck.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

Sonny: What happened?

Michael: Doesn’t concern you.

Sonny: I know you’re upset, but I can help you.

Michael: I don’t want your help. I don’t need anything from you. Is that — is that clear enough?

Sonny: Alright, listen to me. I know we’ve had our differences lately.

Michael: Differences? Is that what you call it?

Sonny: But you’re my son. I love you. Jordan giving you a hard time? Just tell me if she is.

Michael: She’s just doing her job. Look, I punched a reporter in the face right in front of her. She had no choice but to bring me in.

Sonny: Was it self-defense?

Michael: He was getting in my face about Josslyn, so I just —

Sonny: What’s going on with Josslyn?

Michael: I told you, it doesn’t concern you.

Sonny: No, if it concerns Josslyn, it concerns me.

Michael: Really? See, I didn’t think you cared about anything these days except for Nina.

Sonny: Okay, leave my personal life out of it. My family comes first. You know that.

Michael: No, no, dad, Nina comes first for you. And just for the record, Josslyn isn’t your family anymore.

Nina: When Willow made it perfectly clear that she and Michael would not allow me to see Wiley, I figured it was time for me to get proactive. Thank you. So I threatened to sue for visitation rights.

Phyllis: I don’t blame you, but I wish a court battle could be avoided.

Nina: Thank you. Yeah, you and me both. I don’t want to put Wiley through that. Besides, Michael has proven that he is not above dirty tricks. I mean, who’s to say he’s not going to pull something again and get that judge to rule against me?

Phyllis: So what’s next?

Nina: Yeah, well, I thought I was going to talk to Harmony, which I did, and convince her to at least talk to Willow. And then maybe Willow could talk to Michael and convince him to let me be part of Wiley’s life.

Phyllis: Without getting the courts involved. Do you think she would do that?

Nina: I don’t know. You know, originally I thought, “yeah, she’s on board,” but you just saw right now she seemed pretty noncommittal, didn’t she?

Phyllis: I’m sure she just needs some time to think. When she does, she’ll realize that Wiley needs all of his grandmothers in his life.

Nina: Yeah. If only Michael and Willow would realize that, too.

Harmony: Thank you. What happened?

Willow: Uh, Michael was arrested.

Harmony: What? Why?

Willow: I’ll explain later. And I was too busy to eat today, so between that and the stress, I guess I passed out.

Harmony: I was so worried, terrified I’d lose you after we worked so hard to find our way back.

Willow: Mom, you’re — you’re — you’re not going to lose me.

Harmony: Good. Because I love you, and I’m so grateful that you’re in my life.

Willow: I love you too, mom.

Harmony: What did the doctor say?

Willow: I haven’t, um, seen one yet.

Harmony: Then I’m going to track one down.

Willow: Mom.

Harmony: Excuse me. Why hasn’t my daughter been seen?

Epiphany: And your daughter is…?

Harmony: Willow Tait. This is unacceptable.

Epiphany: We have a lot of patients tonight, and the doctors need to prioritize who they believe needs urgent care first.

Harmony: Willow fainted. How is that not urgent? Is there someone who can move her up on the list?

Epiphany: Not above me. I’m the head nurse.

Harmony: That’s perfect. You must have some decision- making power around here.

Epiphany: [ Sighs ] You’re a mother worried about her child. And for that reason and that reason only, I’m willing to make allowances, but you’re about to reach your limit.

Harmony: Please. My daughter has run herself ragged for your nursing program. There must be something you can do.

Shawn: So what are we thinking?

Molly: I can’t decide between the tagliatelle and the sea bass.

TJ: Okay, uh, you get one, I’ll get the other, and we share.

Molly: Have I told you lately that you are brilliant?

Shawn: [ Chuckles ]

TJ: Uh, not today.

Molly: Oh, well, you’re brilliant.

[ Laughs ]

TJ: Thank you, baby.

Jordan: Hello.

Molly: Hi.

TJ: Hey.

Shawn: Aw, it is so good to have you home.

Jordan: Aw, good to see you, too.

Shawn: How you feel?

Jordan: Never better.

Shawn: Mm, mm. Well, you have been missed.

Jordan: Really? ‘Cause I’m trying not to take it personally that you’re leaving for San Francisco right when I get back.

TJ: Yeah, Dad, what’s up with that?

Shawn: Just a business trip.

Jordan: Mm-hmm.

Shawn: Mm-hmm.

TJ: A long business trip.

Shawn: Come on, now, you can’t rush this type of thing. I have to make sure everything is running smoothly.

Jordan: Okay, where’s my hug?

TJ: Yep.

[ Jordan and Molly chuckle ]

Molly: Okay, okay, my turn. Do you think you can stand one more?

Jordan: Always.

Molly: [ Giggles ]

Jordan: I hear you’re doing great things at the D.A.’S office.

Molly: Yeah.

Jordan: I’m excited we get to work together.

Molly: I know. Me, too. I mean, don’t get me wrong, Mac is great, but everyone is so excited that you’re back.

Jordan: Mm, it’s almost like I never left.

Molly: Yeah.

Jordan: Except for this one skipping town on me.

[ Chuckles ]

Jordan: Hurry home, will you?

Shawn: I’ll do my best.

Carly: Let me guess. This is the so-called journalist trying to profit off of my daughter’s pain.

Smoltz: Mrs. Corinthos. I had the pleasure of meeting your son earlier. Or more specifically, his fist. How’s he doing in lockup?

Carly: He’s doing great, thanks. Which is more than you’re going to be able to say after my attorney files suit and sues you for every dime you’ve ever made.

Alexis: Alright, that’s enough of an introduction for now. Get out, Smoltz. Now.

Smoltz: Have a good evening, ladies.

Alexis: Out, out. I’m sorry for what Joss is going through.

Carly: If you mean that, you will not publish this story.

Alexis: I think that would be a mistake.

Carly: Are you kidding me? You’re such a hypocrite. I mean, the great defender of all wronged people everywhere. Yet when my daughter is violated, you just want to exploit it. Come on, Alexis, what if it was one of your girls?

Alexis: I’d be livid. But it’s because of my daughters that I think The Invader should run the story.

Carly: What?

Alexis: What Joss and Cameron, what they’re going through is terrible, but let’s be real. In situations like this, it’s usually the woman that bears the brunt.

Carly: Josslyn’s life is falling apart.

Alexis: It’s a big story, Carly, and it’s just a matter of time before someone else picks it up. But if The Invader runs it first, we can frame the narrative. I can make sure that it’s handled respectfully, I can be sensitive to what the kids are going through, focus on the fact that this is misogyny in the modern world and delve into the issues of consent and privacy in the digital age.

Carly: So if you run the article, then you get to shape the perspective moving forward.

Alexis: Let me put it this way. If someone else runs the article, it will be trashy in comparison. Now, I don’t have to mention Joss’ or Cameron’s name if they don’t want me to, but I could also provide them with the opportunity to speak about their experience, both shared and personal. It would be entirely up to them.

Carly: [ Sighs ]

Shawn: [ Chuckles ]

TJ: Why do women always go to the bathroom together?

Shawn: One of the world’s greatest mysteries.

TJ: Right.

[ Both chuckle ]

Shawn: Hey, you and Molly still on board to keep an eye on Alexis while I’m gone?

TJ: Yeah, of course. Have there been any developments with Harmony?

Shawn: Nothing more since we last spoke about it.

TJ: Which means you’re still worried. Have you considered talking to Alexis?

Shawn: I did. Let’s just say she doesn’t share my concerns. I know Alexis is a strong woman and more than capable of making her own choices, but I also know how big that heart of hers is. I hate to see someone use it against her. I’m not a fan of someone taking advantage of my friends.

TJ: Just… just friends?

Shawn: Yeah.

TJ: How do you feel about that?

Shawn: You can’t keep living in past. You know, time to move on.

Nina: When I found out that Nelle was my daughter, after she already passed, I was devastated.

Phyllis: I remember.

Nina: The only thing that hurt more was waking up from my coma to… to learn that my baby was gone.

Phyllis: I can’t begin to express my regret for the part I played in separating you and your little girl.

Nina: No, it’s not your fault. It was all my mother’s fault. Besides, if it wasn’t for you, I never would have known about the half-heart necklace.

Phyllis: I wonder if that would’ve been best.

Nina: I’m glad I have closure. Even though it hurts.

Phyllis: Well, I’ll never get over the guilt.

Nina: You were honest with me. Unlike Carly. No, it doesn’t — it doesn’t excuse all the mistakes that I have made, believe me, and I’ve made plenty of them, like when I told Wiley that Willow was not his real mom. I shouldn’t have done that, but I was just desperately trying to have some kind of connection with Nelle. I was panicked, thinking that she was going to be erased.

Phyllis: Wiley was your only tie to your daughter.

Nina: And then when Michael was trying to sever that tie, well, we all know how that turned out.

Phyllis: Mm. Not well.

Nina: And because of that, I may have lost my grandson forever.

Harmony: Are you still feeling lightheaded? Any dizziness?

Willow: Truthfully, I’m — I’m starving. Do you think you could grab me a sandwich from the cafeteria?

Harmony: Of course. Do you care what kind?

Willow: Turkey, if they have it.

Harmony: Yeah. Be right back.

[ Door closes ]

Epiphany: Thank you.

Willow: [ Sighs ] She means well.

Epiphany: I’m sure she does.

Dr. Nelson: Nurse Johnson… …what exactly is going on here?

Sonny: Josslyn will always be my daughter. I don’t care if I’m with Carly or not.

Michael: Right. And you want Josslyn to rely on you, right?

Sonny: Of course I do. Why wouldn’t I, Michael?

Michael: Well, um, 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?!

Carly: I hate that Josslyn even has to weigh this decision.

Alexis: So do I.

Carly: It’s beyond humiliating. She’s being harassed online.

Alexis: I’m truly sorry, Carly.

Carly: Well, the effects of this are devastating, and I keep telling Josslyn that it’s going to pass. And it will. I know that. But —

Alexis: But it will be some time.

Carly: [ Sighs ] I don’t want things to get worse for her. Do you understand that?

Alexis: I’m on Joss’ side — and yours. If you don’t want me to do the story, then I won’t. But somebody will. And wouldn’t it be better if Joss had some say over how that was done?

Carly: She and Cam are just starting out their lives as adults. I mean, to be dealt this hand…

Alexis: You never know. Joss might find talking about this experience to be empowering.

Carly: If she doesn’t want it published?

Alexis: Then I won’t.

Carly: It’s her call. I’m going to talk to Josslyn, and I will let you know.

Alexis: Just be warned, there’s not a lot of time.

Carly: [ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ]

TJ: Should we do this?

Molly: Definitely.

Jordan: Okay.

Shawn: Okay, what do you think that’s about?

Jordan: Maybe they’re just so hopelessly in love, they couldn’t wait another minute to be alone together.

Shawn: Well, knowing those two, I wouldn’t rule it out.

Jordan: It’s amazing, isn’t it? Still crazy in love after almost 10 years together.

Shawn: Yeah. They’re a perfect fit.

Jordan: Maybe not getting married is the answer. Next time, I’ll try a domestic partnership, see if that works out any better.

Shawn: Well, with all the mistakes we both made, with all the regrets we’ll always have, there’s one brilliant consolation. We have a son, and he is thriving.

Jordan: Thriving’s not even an adequate word, is it?

Shawn: [ Chuckles ] Right. Uh, okay, what is this?

Jordan: What is this?

TJ: Tonight is a celebration of family. My mom is back and healthier than ever.

Shawn: Yeah, she is.

TJ: And, dad — thank you — I will miss you while you’re gone, but I am so proud of all the good you’re doing. To my parents.

Shawn: To family.

Jordan: To family.

TJ: To family.

Molly: To family. Aww.

Dr. Nelson: Can we speak privately?

Epiphany: Of course. Dr nelson, Dr. Ashford and I have been in touch with you about this patient, who just happens to be one of our nursing students.

Dr. Nelson: So she gets special treatment. Is that it?

Epiphany: She’s been waiting for quite a while.

Dr. Nelson: Because you’re busy, nurse Johnson. Patients are seen based on the severity of their condition.

Epiphany: I’m aware.

Dr. Nelson: Then you’re also aware that Ms. Tait was stable, putting her further down the list.

Epiphany: She only needed an I.V. of saline and electrolytes. You would have written it up, you would have signed off, I would have set it up. So I skipped a step. It’s not like I haven’t done this before.

Epiphany: That’s not the point. You stepped outside the chain of command, and you took it upon yourself to treat a patient. These protocols are in place for a reason.

Epiphany: I understand.

Dr. Nelson: We’ll finish this discussion later. How are you feeling, Ms. Tait?

Willow: Much better, thank you.

Epiphany: Dr. Ashford examined her upstairs. He’s filled me in. It’s all in her chart.

Dr. Nelson: Well, since you’ve already began treatment, I’ll let you finish it.

Willow: I am so sorry. I did not mean to get you in trouble.

Epiphany: No, it’s okay. [ Sighs ] Honestly, you would think that after 20 years, he would have a little more trust in my judgment. I have been working as a nurse for 20 years. Longer than some of these — no, most of these doctors, and I still have to defer to their judgment.

Willow: That must be so frustrating.

Epiphany: I just wish that I had a more active role in patient-care decisions.

Willow: So why don’t you get a job where you will?

Epiphany: [ Chuckles ] I’ve been a nurse for so long, I honestly don’t think I could do anything else.

Willow: I felt the same way about teaching, remember? But then I realized I was ready for a change. Maybe you are, too.

Phyllis: I know it feels bleak.

Nina: It’s the bleakest.

Phyllis: But people are capable of forgiveness.

Nina: Yeah, and Willow, she’s very forgiving. When we first met, we had our issues, but we got past them, and we’ve had some really touching moments with each other since then. I just don’t understand why Willow can’t see that Wiley is my only link to my daughter.

Phyllis: It’s a difficult situation. Maybe Harmony is the answer…

Nina: Well —

Phyllis…the bridge between all of you.

Nina: I don’t know. My gut is saying that she’s going to choose to stay in her daughter’s good graces over helping me.

Phyllis: Well, you never know. [ Sighs ] If Harmony loves Wiley… …maybe she’ll see the wisdom in having you be a part of his life.

Nina: Yeah. From your lips to… …Harmony’s ears.

Phyllis: What’s this now?

Nina: Well, you knew her back in the old New York days. You know, you could talk to her, convince her to put in a good word for me?

Phyllis: We were acquaintances over 20 years ago. I don’t hold any sway with that woman.

Nina: But you have more sway than I do. Come on, Phyllis. Everyone listens to you. Everybody. You know that’s true. Please.

Phyllis: This is a family-custody matter. I don’t feel comfortable taking sides. However, I’ll be willing to talk to Harmony and tell her about the Nina I know and love. She can then come to an informed decision on her own.

Nina: Yes! Thank you.

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ]

Sonny: [ Sighs ] You know what? I’m not going to have Nina used against me anymore. You understand?

Michael: No, I’ll never understand.

Sonny: Well, how many times we going to do this? I was trying to keep the peace. What’d you want me to do, attack Nina? You think that would have helped?

Michael: [ Chuckles ]

Sonny: No, I’m ask–

Michael: Right, right, right. This coming from you, the gold standard in payback. Now you want bygones to be bygones. Do you understand why I don’t want Nina in Wiley’s life? It’s because she’s unbalanced. She does horrible, hateful things and then claims she doesn’t mean them. Who does that sound like to you? Right. Nelle.

Sonny: Oh, so Nina is now poisoning people? Is that — is that — is that what’s happening?

Michael: Maybe. We don’t know.

Sonny: Really? Really, Michael? Is that what she’s doing?

Michael: Close enough. So, no, I don’t — I don’t need your help, alright? And neither does Josslyn.

Sonny: Okay, I’m going to find out what happened to Josslyn. So why don’t you just tell me?

Michael: Because she wouldn’t want me to, Dad. And, honestly, I’d venture to say she’d rather have the whole situation on a billboard in Times Square than to accept anything from you. You made your choice, and your family wasn’t it.

Sonny: I’m sorry that I caused you any pain, and maybe one day you will understand.

Nina: Thank you.

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ] Talk to you soon.

Nina: Okay.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sonny: Uh, right.

Will: Mm-hmm.

Chad: Okay, so how are you gonna get some real deal guy to come on to him?

Sonny: Well, it would have to be somebody who, you know, leo’s already expressed interest in. You know, somebody who wouldn’t have to sell himself.

Chad: Why are you guys looking at me like that? What do you want me to do?

Will: Something along the lines of making leo’s wildest dreams comes true.

Chad: And how am I supposed to do that?

Sonny: By going to bed with him.

Will: He’s thinking about it.

Chad: Thinking–thinking– thinking it over. How about plan b?

Sonny: Uh, what’s plan b?

Chad: I shoot him in cold blood in horton town square. That way, I can spend the rest of my life in prison, which will be vastly better than what you two are offering.

Will: All right, come on. You were in a bed with him in phoenix. That didn’t kill you.

Chad: You know the james bond movie when he wakes up with a tarantula next to his pillow? That was better than waking up next to him. My eyes! My eyes!

Sonny: You said you’d help us.

Chad: That was before the two of you were out of your ever-loving minds!

Craig: So you want me to go after kayla johnson’s job?

Leo: You’d be great at it.

Craig: Yeah, well, so is she.

Leo: Babe, think about it. You just said that because of nancy’s big mouth, you’re probably gonna lose your job in new york.

Craig: Okay. We’re gonna establish some ground rules right now. We do not trash nancy. We just don’T.

Leo: She’s trying to get you fired.

Craig: She is in pain, a lot of pain.

Leo: Well, I’m sorry, but I think she’s overreacting horribly to this turn of events.

Craig: Oh, well, her overreacting must really bother you, you being so buttoned down and everything.

Leo: Well, I’m sorry, I don’t mean to start a fight. I’m thinking about you. Craig, you know I would be happy to spend the rest of my life alone with you on a desert island. But your work is central to who you are. You’re a healer.

Craig: [Sighs] I can be a healer without taking kayla’s job.

Leo: You wouldn’t be taking it. If she refuses to fire dr. Beelzebub evans, she’d be losing it on her own. And as that was your former job, it’d be like “once more into the breach.” Craig. You can’t fight this. It’s fate.

Kayla: And I’m telling you that dr. Evans is completely recovered and fully competent. You know, I’m on duty right now. Do you think that we could talk about this in the morning? Mr. Hartley, I think you know me well enough to know that I do not take well to threats. Good night.

[Huffs]

[Muttering]

Abigail: Aunt kayla? Are you all right?

Kayla: Ah, abigail, yes. I thought I got off that stupid island that I would come back here to a little bit of sanity.

Abigail: I heard–I heard you talking about marlena.

Kayla: Yeah. It turns out that the board, egged on by their chairman, mr. Burns, is trying to get her fired. That woman has been through so much.

Marlena: You want me to leave?

John: You have to. So please, doc, just you go on downstairs and stay with johnny until this is all over.

Marlena: Belle is my daughter. There’s no way that I would leave her at a time like this.

John: Would you think about this? We now know that when eric performed the exorcism, yeah, he drove the devil out of you, but it took over belle because she was in the room. Now, he’s come after you twice. I don’t want to give him a third chance.

Marlena: Why do you think that he would try again?

John: I know that he won’t if you’re not here. The only way I can be sure the devil is really gone is if no one else is in this room.

Marlena: What about you? What if he decides to make you his next host?

[Ominous music]

[Phone line trilling]

Johnny: Uncle shawn. It’s me, johnny. Look, can you come over to my house right away? Something’s happened to aunt belle. No, no. No, I– look, I can’t say any more over the phone. Just get here as fast as you can. Okay. I’ll see you soon.

[Eerie music]

Demon johnny: Haul ass, shawn. You’re gonna get me into that room, so help you. I can’t have them figuring out that their precious belle isn’t the problem. I am.

[Eerie music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Sonny: Look, it’s not that we don’t understand you might have some, um, reservations about the plan.

Chad: Sonny, sonny, reservations isn’t quite strong enough for how I feel about it. Try repulsion. Repugnance. Abject horror.

Will: I don’t think he wants to do it.

Chad: Look, I’ve–I’ve heard you both go on hour-long rants about leo and now you want me to make his “dreams come true?” I thought we were friends. Now, you want me to do– to do that for chloe’s father, who I barely know, so he doesn’t have a rude awakening?

Sonny: Okay, okay, how about we just talk about what–what, um, doing that actually entails.

Chad: For god’s sakes, I don’t need the details.

Sonny: When we say “go to bed with him,” that is what we mean, but that’s all we mean.

Will: Chad. Don’t worry. Your virtue is safe with us.

Sonny: Mm-hmm.

Leo: Craig, I’m sorry. Upon reflection, I see that I have been unfair to nancy. Yes, she has been possessive, aggressive, vindictive–

Craig: Is this you being fair to her?

Leo: But if I stop and put myself in her sling heels, I see that even I might react badly if I ever– lost you. I can’t even bear to think about it.

Craig: Well, I don’t think you need to worry about that.

Leo: And another thing. While you know that I am not really a religious person, I am deeply, deeply spiritual, and I believe that everything happens for a reason. Think about it. At the very moment that nancy is trying to sabotage your career in new york, the devil herself sends university hospital into a tailspin. It’s like some higher power wants–no, needs you to be the new chief of staff. Think about it. This could be the start of a whole new life for us.

John: Well, doc, you see, if I’m performing this exorcism, I’m gonna have god’s protection.

Marlena: Are you sure? You’re not even a priest, john. Technically, you never were.

John: But I know what I’m doing. And I believe in what I’m doing, and I’m doing this for my daughter.

Marlena: Belle’s my daughter too. Whenever two or more of you are gathered in his name, love is the only thing that will defeat this devil. Together we are stronger. I’m not leaving here.

Shawn: All right, where’s belle? Why couldn’t you tell me what’s wrong on the phone?

Johnny: There’s no good way to say this, uncle shawn. Aunt belle’s possessed. Migraine attacks?

Chad: I know my virtue is safe because I’m not doing it. Did it ever occur to you that maybe leo and craig should be together? That maybe leo actually does love him?

Will: Okay, leo’s not capable of love. In order to love, you need to have a heart, and he does not.

Sonny: Yeah. Okay. Do you remember him back in phoenix? He’s a mercenary, a narcissist who just throws himself at men with money.

Will: Exactly. In fact, I’m surprised he settled for craig. I mean, sure, he’s well off, but not by leo’s standards. And he’s good-looking, but he’s old enough to be leo’s father. What he really likes are young men with family money, with lots of family money.

Sonny: Yeah, I’m sorry to break it to you, chad, but it wasn’t just your inner beauty that leo was attracted to.

Chad: Oh, I thought it was true love.

Will: And, listen, don’t you see that with your looks and the dimera money, all you have to do is just crook your little finger and he’d be putty in your hands. Maybe I–maybe I should’ve put it differently.

Chad: I am not saying that I couldn’t do it. I am saying that I won’T.

Sonny: Okay, again, you didn’t let us finish. Because you will not have to do anything. The minute you two are horizontal, we’re gonna send craig in.

Will: Yeah, like the cavalry.

Chad: Well, I am sorry, “send craig in?” What, am I supposed to have an audience now too?

Sonny: Craig needs to know the truth about leo, okay? And one picture is worth a thousand words.

Chad: It is not my responsibility to open his eyes. I am sorry, but bottom line is craig’s bad boyfriend is not my problem! All right, there’s not one reason why I should do this for him.

Will: Okay. Okay. Chad, I’m not asking you to do this for wesley. I’m asking you to do this for sonny.

Leo: Oh, oh, oh! Light bulb over my head! Once you are the new chief of staff, put me in charge of hr. I am such a people person. I’d be great at it, and I could be your right-hand man, your enforcer.

Craig: [Laughs] Okay. I don’t know how to put this, but you don’t know what you’re talking about, how grueling that job can be. Chief of staff gets blamed for everything and thanked for nothing.

Leo: So are you saying the chief of staff job in new york was any better?

Craig: No. Worse. All the pressure and crazy times a hundred, just like everything else in new york.

Leo: I thought you loved your job.

Craig: I do, certain aspects, like the paycheck.

Leo: Being the boss?

Craig: Yes, and, well, helping people.

Leo: You could help people here. God knows salem needs help.

Craig: I am not going to help people by taking away someone else’s job. The last time I did that, I ended up with psycho nurses and seth burns.

Leo: Who? What?

Craig: Don’t ask. It’s like I told you, when I found out that chloe was my daughter, and then when joy was born and chloe got the bone marrow to save her life, I– I realized at that time that I didn’t want to be a money-grubbing, social-climbing weasel.

Leo: But you wouldn’T.

Craig: Are you– why are you pushing this?

Leo: I’m not!

Craig: Yes, you are! Is that what you want me to be? Is it? A money-grubbing, social-climbing weasel? Was I wrong, leo, about you wanting to change?

[Scoffs]

Abigail: So, how’s sarah?

Kayla: We are still waiting for her test results to come back before we can plan the next step.

Abigail: I don’t suppose she’s allowed visitors?

Kayla: No. I’m sorry. She’s pretty fragile. She’s extremely angry that she’s hospitalized against her will. And I’m afraid she will see you as a stranger at best, or enemy at worst.

Abigail: Well, I understand why she wouldn’t want to see me. I guess–I guess I was just hoping to ease my conscience.

Kayla: How would sarah have anything to do with your conscience?

Abigail: If I hadn’t gone after gwen with that syringe and left it lying there, kristen would’ve never been able to give her the drug and none of this would’ve ever happened.

Shawn: No, I know what susan said, all right, but I would’ve known, all right? I would’ve at least sensed it.

Johnny: Uncle shawn, I’m sorry. I saw her myself. And I wasn’t the only one.

Shawn: Tell me.

Johnny: Well, she attacked my grandma, marlena. She–she had the glowing eyes, the voice. Just like we saw at the exorcism. And I had to hit her over the head to stop her. Honestly, I think she would’ve killed my grandma if I hadn’T.

Shawn: Okay, where is she?

Johnny: She’s upstairs with grandpa john and grandma marlena. They’re about to perform an exorcism. You can’t go up.

Shawn: Why the hell not?

Johnny: Because grandpa john laid down the law. He said the fewer people that were up there the safer it’d be. I just– I thought you should know.

Shawn: Yeah, you’re damn right I should know.

Johnny: I’m really sorry. I–I feel terrible.

Shawn: Yeah? Well, you should feel terrible because this is all your fault, johnny.

Belle: [Groans]

Marlena: I’m right here, darling.

Belle: John.

Marlena: John, you– you mean your dad.

John: I’m right here, izzy.

Belle: No, not john. Johnny.

Marlena: Did she just say “johnny?” It’s my 5:52 woke-up-like-this migraine medicine.

Sonny: Will, don’T.

Will: I’m sorry, I– I have to. It took sonny a long time to get over what leo did to him. He was humiliated, he was betrayed by that little worm. And he did get over it. But then he found out that he’s doing it someone else. And chad, he can’t sleep. I know he tries to hide it, but this eating him up inside.

[Soft dramatic music]

Sonny: I’ll admit it, it’s true. When that disgusting creep caught us trying to warn craig, he said, “nice try, bitches.” He smiled, you know, smirked right at me. And then it hit me. He liked that we were trying to stop him. It turned him on to have me watch what he did to me and to do it with another man. I have to stop him.

Chad: Oh, sonny. This doesn’t sound like it is about wesley at all. This sounds like it is about revenge. Why didn’t you just say that?

Sonny: [Laughs] So you’re in?

Chad: I am a dimera. We invented revenge. Okay? But you, you owe me. You understand me? You owe me.

Sonny: I know, I know.

Chad: And I don’t even know if this is gonna work, okay? Sure, yes, I am irresistible. But leo knows that I am straight and that I am married and that I really love my wife.

Will: Well, that is where abigail comes in.

Kayla: Abigail, do you really think that sarah is here because you didn’t get rid of the syringe?

Abigail: Well–

Kayla: I have something to tell you. Kristen dimera kidnapped sarah because she wanted to save her own butt. And if she hadn’t found that syringe, she would’ve taken her out with a baseball bat or something. No, this is ridiculous. You cannot feel guilty about this.

Abigail: But I am the person who got the drug from dr. Rolf.

Kayla: In order to get to gwen, a woman who poisoned you, publicly humiliated your father, ruined your marriage or at least tried to, to get her to tell the truth. So here’s a news flash for you. You couldn’t do it because you are a good person.

Abigail: No, I couldn’t do it because of gabby.

Kayla: Well, that’s just details. Just details. How about this? The day that kristen dimera repents and atones for her sins, that’s the day that you can feel guilty about this.

Abigail: Okay.

Kayla: Okay. And, listen, thanks to you, we have some idea about what’s in that syringe, and that’s going to help sarah. So this is not your fault. End of discussion.

Leo: I have changed. I am a new man since I met you, craig wesley. But this isn’t about me. It’s about you, your career, and most of all, the good people of this town. Do you have any idea the terror kayla unleashed on the patients at that hospital because the devil was in their midst and she looked the other way? I mean, according to “the intruder,” kayla basically let the devil run amok in the icu where he–she–they woke up a crazy coma patient named jan spears and sicced her on marlena’s own daughter. You can’t make this stuff up.

Craig: I don’t think you can blame kayla for not knowing marlena was possessed by the devil. She’s not the only one that was tricked.

Leo: Oh, honey, there is so much more you don’t know.

Johnny: My fault? How is this my fault?

Shawn: It’s you and your– your damn movie, all right? The devil would’ve never come back if you hadn’t dared it to. Oh, god. You know what? Look, I’m sorry. All right, you know what? This is exactly what he wants. He wants to turn us against each other.

Johnny: It certainly is.

Shawn: Look, I–I’m just– I’m just angry with myself. ‘Cause your grandmother, she warned me and I just– I didn’t want to listen.

Johnny: It’s–I mean, it’s all just so hard to believe, you know?

Shawn: Well, you have to believe in him to get rid of him. But I don’t care what john says. I need to be with belle, I need to see her.

Johnny: Okay. She’s upstairs.

Shawn: All right.

[Eerie music]

Belle: Johnny.

Marlena: Yes. Yes, he was here. Honey, we’re all here for you.

Belle: It’s him. It’s him.

John: What’d she say?

Shawn: What the hell?

John: Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing here?

Johnny: I’m sorry. Look, I called him. I know you said you didn’t want him here, but he has a right to know.

John: Damn it, I told you no one else could be in this room. Shawn. We’re gonna do an exorcism, but we need to make sure that if it works, the devil just doesn’t take over another person in this room.

Shawn: I’m not just another person; I’m her husband.

Marlena: No one was trying to exclude you, shawn.

Shawn: Yeah, well, it sure seems that way. Belle? Belle, I’m here. Come on, belle, say something.

Demon belle: Damn it! Would you stop calling me belle?

Kayla: I’m sorry. Sometimes when I get too tired and too mad, I overstate my case. And I didn’t mean to sound so imperious back there.

Abigail: No, you didn’t at all. No, you’re just trying to make me feel better, and you did.

Kayla: Well, then I did something good today.

[Laughs]

Abigail: You know, earlier, I heard you talking about marlena’s job. Would it be helpful if we ran an editorial in the paper?

Kayla: No, I think that would just inflame things. I think–I just–I think I need to calm down and I need to convince the board that this is all gonna blow over in time.

Abigail: I heard you say something about threats.

Kayla: Apparently, seth burns said that my job was on the line. I’ll tell you something. The way I feel right now, if somebody wants this damn job, they can have it.

Leo: You have no idea how university hospital has fallen since you left. Babies switched at birth and sold to the highest bidder. Ever hear of security, dr. Johnson? Background checks? Moving out of the nursery, live patients declared dead.

Craig: I wish I could say that was something new.

Leo: Speaking of dead, our waitress appears to have given up the ghost. Garconess! Un autre, s’il vous plait. Where was I? Oh, yes, university hospital, the kayla johnson administration. Homicidal doctors and vip lab space handed over to stefano dimera’s mad scientist, and, from what I am told, some very, very rude candy stripers. I’m sorry, craig, but it is your duty to take over as the new chief of staff. The sick and dying of salem need you.

Kayla: I’m sorry, but I need to get back to work.

Abigail: Oh, yeah.

Kayla: I will keep you posted about sarah, all right?

Abigail: Thank you.

Kayla: And don’t worry, she’s in good hands.

Abigail: I know that. And thanks for listening to me.

Kayla: Oh, gosh, any time. I mean it. All right, I’ll see you later.

Abigail: Bye.

[Phone ringing] Hey, what’s up? I’m on my way home.

Chad: I’m not–I’m not there. I’m with will and sonny at the kiriakis place. Would you mind meeting us here?

Abigail: Yeah. What’s going on?

Chad: Eh, it’s complicated. I’ll fill you in when you get here.

Shawn: Oh, my god, belle.

Demon belle: Don’t you say that to me.

Shawn: How long has she been like this?

Marlena: Since the exorcism.

Demon belle: Did you really think it would be that easy to get rid of me?

Shawn; no, I would’ve known.

Demon belle: I didn’t want you to. I was incognito so you wouldn’t interfere with my work.

John: What work?

Demon belle: I turned myself into ej at the courthouse and stuck my tongue down abigail’s throat. And my, wasn’t that a delicious treat.

[Eerie music]

We hit the bike trails every weekend

Johnny: I knew my dad wouldn’t do anything that stupid–right in the middle of his trial, just before my uncle chad was about to testify. You turned him against my father! Why?

Marlena: To destroy love. To tear families apart. To turn brother against brother.

Demon belle: Oh, marlena. You know me so well.

Johnny: Damn you!

John: No, johnny! No! No! It’s not belle!

Marlena: Belle! Belle!

John: It’s not–it’s not– damn it, stop!

Abigail: Mm-hmm. You know, I got to say, when you asked me to come over here, I just thought we’d be catching up with old friends. It just–it didn’t occur to me that all, uh, three of you were gonna ask me to sign off on my husband getting into bed with another man.

Chad: Yeah, it’s extreme.

Abigail: But you’re okay with this?

Chad: Well, I do not want to do this.

Abigail: Okay, that’s–that’s really very good for me to hear. Um–

Chad: But leo’s done some bad stuff and he’s dead set on doing it more, so–

Abigail: So it’s a far, far better thing you do, huh?

Chad: It’s your call.

Abigail: Hmm. Well, I guess I’d still be on lunatic island if it weren’t for you, so where do we start?

Chad: Well, as you might’ve guessed, I would like to get this over asap.

Will: Yes. Oh– I will call the inn.

[Phone line trilling] Hello, I would like dr. Craig wesley’s room please. Or maybe it’s under the name leo stark. Oh, right, okay. I’ll call back. They are out for the evening.

Chad: Well, they have to come home sometime. And when they do, abby and I will be waiting for them.

Leo: And think about it, what’s left for you in new york anyway? Parker and joy are away at school, and the two adults who love you most in the world, me and chloe, we’re right here.

Craig: Yeah. How do I put this delicately? You’re not the most popular person here.

Leo: Well, it matters to me not that I am liked so long as I am loved. Well, that was profound, don’t you think?

Craig: It was your depth that attracted me in the first place.

Leo: Don’t I know it.

Craig: Guess it would be nice to live closer to chloe. And I guess if they are gonna get rid of kayla anyway, I could just put my hat in the ring.

Leo: Unless there’s someone on the board who remembers the work you did. They could put your hat in the ring for you.

Craig: Maybe you’re right. Wonder where seth burns is.

Leo: This calls for tiramisu.

John: It’s not belle, kid.

Shawn: You’re not helping, you know.

Johnny: I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I just– what she said.

Marlena: It was very upsetting. But it wasn’t belle. It was him.

John: Now do you understand why I didn’t want anyone else in this room?

Shawn: I’m staying. Belle’s my wife.

Marlena: John, you know how I feel about this. The more people in this room that love her, the better.

John: No. Because if there are people in this room, we’ll never know for sure if the devil is really gone.

Johnny: You know what? I just got an idea. We treat our faces to the best skin care.

Will: All right. One, two.

[Both groaning] I wonder if leo’s taking the bait.

Sonny: There’s not much we can do now until chad and abigail have told us they’ve set the stage. I guess that means we’re done with our workout.

Will: Well, not necessarily.

Chad: Well, a night all alone and we’re doing this.

Abigail: Well, this was not my idea.

Chad: Here he comes.

Abigail: Okay, here we go.

[Clears throat] You’re never– you never listen to me!

Chad: Yes, I do!

Abigail: Okay, well, then what did I just say?

Chad: I–I don’t know. I can’t quote verbatim, but I’m sure it had something to do with how unhappy you are and how it’s always my fault, because that’s all you ever talk about!

Abigail: Well, you never say or do anything! And you haven’t touched me in months!

Chad: I have a had a lot on my mind!

Abigail: You think I don’t notice that the only time you light up is when you talk about going to visit will and sonny in phoenix? And that other guy, whatever his name is, leo stark.

Craig: It’s been a long time. Burns’ office is here.

Kayla: Dr. Wesley? +What are you doing here?

Johnny: I’ve been doing research for my movie. Hey, when you stopped at home to pick up your exorcism stuff, did you happen to–

John: Stuff?

Johnny: Yeah, the–the– did you get that– the medal, right? The medal thing that the gabe guy gave you, saint–

John: Benedict?

Johnny: Yeah.

John: Yeah. In fact, I’ve got it right–

Johnny: I don’t need to see it. I’m just saying, doesn’t it give you power over the devil so you can drive him away?

John: That’s a fact.

Johnny: So… grandma and uncle shawn hold onto it while you’re performing the exorcism, won’t they be protected too?

John: Well, I don’t know. I suppose so.

Marlena: Wow. Good thinking there.

Johnny: I only wish I would have thought of it last time.

Shawn: Okay, let’s do it.

Johnny: Well, I think I’m the one person that you guys don’t need in this room. So if you need me back for anything, I’ll just be right out here.

Marlena: Thank you, johnny.

Johnny: I just pray this works.

[Dramatic music]

John: All right, here we go. Put your hand on top of mine.

Marlena: Strange. She had no reaction.

[Eerie music]

John: In the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit. Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. This is the sound of nature breathing.

Will: Uh, why don’t we take this upstairs?

Sonny: You know, actually, I feel kind of guilty, being here alone with you while chad and abigail are stuck with leo.

Will: Leo who?

Sonny: [Laughs]

Leo: [Clears throat]

Chad: Leo. We were just talking about you.

Leo: Really?

Chad: I didn’t know you were in salem.

Leo: I have a new boyfriend, a salemite boyfriend.

Abigail: Mm. Well, lucky him.

Chad: Right. Sorry. Um… leo, this is my wife, abigail. Abigail, this is–

Abigail: Yeah, the famous leo. I kind of figured.

Leo: Famous?

Abigail: Yeah. He never stops talking about you, so you obviously made quite an impression on him.

Chad: I wouldn’t– I wouldn’t go that far.

Abigail: I would.

Leo: Anyway, nice to see you again.

[Smooth jazz music]

Chad: Hooked.

Craig: Kayla, you are the chief of staff, and you’ve given yourself a graveyard shift.

Kayla: Can I help you with something?

Craig: [Laughs] Well, uh, as a matter of fact, you can. After leo and I ran into you and steve, we– well, we started talking and we thought maybe we’d kick around the idea of staying in salem and I wanted to find out from you if you had any positions here available on staff?

Kayla: I don’t think that I have any position available for someone with your expertise.

Craig: Ah, well, that’s all right. I mean, I wouldn’t be climbing that proverbial ladder. I’d be perfectly happy starting at the bottom.

John: Depart, then, transgressor. Depart, seducer, full of lies and cunning. Foe of virtue, persecutor of the innocent. Give place, give way, you monster, give way to christ!

Marlena: And stay away from all of us!

[Thunder rumbles]

[Dramatic music]

[Tense music]

Belle: Shawn?

Shawn: I’m right here. I’m right here, honey. I’m right here. Hey.

Belle: Mom? Dad?

John: Hey, baby.

Belle: What happened?

Marlena: You don’t remember?

Belle: Where am I?

Marlena: You’re at the dimera mansion. You’re in johnny’s bedroom.

Belle: I was– I was downstairs with johnny and something happened.

Marlena: You’re okay, darling. You were sick, but now you’re healed.

Belle: What? I love you.

Shawn: I love you too.

Marlena: Thank god. The devil is gone, forever.

[ Thomas sighing ]

Sheila: You’ve got to stay quiet, thomas, this has got to stay between us.

Thomas: I don’t think I should do it. What choice do you have? Your parents’ happiness is at stake here. Yours and steffy’S. Brooke is out of your lives. Don’t ruin all the progress that your family has made.

Thomas: Okay, look, I think we should meet in person.

Sheila: It’s too dangerous. We–we shouldn’t be seen together, thomas.

Thomas: It’s either that, or the alternative.

Sheila: Yeah. Well, I definitely don’t want you coming back here to my hotel because that is too dangerous. So why don’t you meet me in the alley behind il giardino?

Steffy: Thomas. What is going on?

Brooke: I let him off the hook, deacon.

Deacon: And now you regret it.

Brooke: I thought I was doing ridge a favor by setting him free, but now I don’t know, what– what was I thinking?

Deacon: You–you didn’t think you had any options. Look, he hasn’t exactly been a prince through this whole thing. You know, he not only overreacted with our little kiss, but made a beeline over to taylor–

Brooke: Yeah, but because he was tired of me defending you.

Deacon: He leaves you at your most vulnerable point, jumps ship to the other team, and now he’s– he’s living in steffy’s guest house? I mean, come on, talk about overreacting.

Brooke: I know. But I told him he could have a divorce, and I don’t know why I did that because I don’t want to lose him. Deacon, I don’T.

Hope: Mom? Dad. What’s going on? Is everything okay?

Deacon: Your mom’s having a rough day.

Hope: Oh, well, is there anything we can do?

Brooke: No, honey. I– I just can’t believe how I got here. I mean, how I put myself in this predicament, destroying my marriage. What have I done?

Brooke: What did you

say your name was?

Sheila: Sheila carter.

Brooke: Oh, yes, of course,

the new nurse at forrester,

you have excellent credentials.

Sheila: Really, I’m an

expert with kids.

You know, you’re the one

and only person that can look

at brooke and say to

myself, “she’s my friend.”

Brooke: I don’t like you.

I think you’re a clinging,

pitiful, dependent human being.

Sheila: You don’t mean it.

Brooke: Yes, I do.

I mean every word of it.

You’re crazy.

You haven’t changed.

You’re incapable of change.

You’re still that crazy,

psychotic lunatic.

And I don’t want you anywhere

near my family.

Do you hear me?

You can’t be here, sheila.

I’m not going to let you put

eric in this position.

You have to leave.

But you’re dangerous, sheila.

A sociopath, and steffy

and her family need to be

protected from you.

I am going to make

certain that you are out

of all of our lives.

Once and for all.

[ Knocking on door ]

Sheila: Finn! I– wasn’t expecting this, uh, surprise visit from my son, not that I am complaining. What a pleasant surprise that.

Finn: Oh, I had to come by and check up on you.

Sheila: Check up on me?

Finn: I want to believe that you aren’t creating any more problems.

Steffy: There is something up with you.

Thomas: What are you talking about? I am fine. You expect me to believe that?

Thomas: Steffy, I’m not really in the mood right now.

Steffy: You’ve been acting really strange lately.

Thomas: You know, you’ve been saying that since we were kids?

Steffy: What about your phone conversation just now?

Thomas: What about it?

Steffy: Sounded pretty intense.

Thomas: So now you’re eavesdropping.

Steffy: Something is going on thomas, and I’m starting to get worried. What is going on? Tell me. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Hope: Mom, I hate seeing you like this.

Brooke: I don’t even know who I am anymore, and I look into the mirror and I don’t even recognize this woman looking back at me.

Hope: Well, then maybe we need to get someone in here who can actually help you.

Brooke: I am getting help, honey. I’m still going to my meetings and I’m seeing my therapist.

Liam: And you’ve stayed sober, which is huge.

Brooke: Yeah, but I still sent ridge away to live a life without me.

Hope: Well, ridge will come to his senses, but in the meantime, you have to stop making yourself sick over this.

Brooke: It’s too late, honey, I said goodbye to ridge. I made the worst decision of my life.

Deacon: Brooke, I don’t know if this helps, but when you and hope let me back into your life, it taught me that it’s never too late.

Brooke: Deacon, I– I still need to fill in the blanks. I need to put the pieces back together.

Sheila: Why do you always wonder if I’m up to no good?

Finn: I want to believe that you’re finally a changed woman. All the– all the things that you’ve been saying to taylor. Yeah, yeah, I know that you’ve been making visits to steffy’s mother.

Sheila: So taylor has filled you in, then, huh?

Finn: Yeah. And you know, you’re not supposed to just show up at her office.

Sheila: I know that, but we have a– a rather nice rapport, and she’s been very understanding about my desire to have a closer relationship with you and my grandson.

Finn: Yeah, taylor’s great. I’m lucky to be part of steffy and her family’s lives. You know, they’re my family now. And they mean the world to me.

Sheila: I’m your family too, finn. It’s just nice when we can all be in a room together. Show hayes what forgiveness and understanding really does look like, like to be a good example for my grandson.

Finn: Yeah, but steffy, she still has her walls up when it comes to you,

Sheila: Okay, well, I– I understand that. But her mother has been so welcoming. I’m hoping that I’m going to get to spend more time with you soon.

Finn: And a lot of that depends on you, whether or not you can stay on the straight and narrow, which I am counting on you doing. So please don’t let me down, mother.

Steffy: I know you, thomas. You can’t put anything past me.

Thomas: Oh, I know.

Steffy: So you would tell me if something were wrong, right?

Thomas: You don’t need to worry about me, steff.

Steffy: Why are you like, so intense right now? I don’t get it. Dad’s not staying at brooke’s, we don’t have to deal with the logans, mom and dad are getting closer. They’re reconnecting. You should be as happy as I am.

Thomas: Believe me, there is nothing I would like more, but it’s not that simple.

Steffy: I get that, not everything right now is rainbows and butterflies, but it feels as though our family is getting back on track, feels like a miracle.

Thomas: Yeah, it’s something like that. Look, I know that everything has been so hectic for dad lately. I’m doing the best that I can to make sure that he and our entire family are safe and happy.

Steffy: Good. Glad to hear it. Not that I was worried or anything that we weren’t on the same page. I know you’re as loyal to our family as anybody.

Thomas: Well, you should have no doubt about that. Now I do have to go. I’m meeting someone, so I’ll catch up with you later.

Sheila: Here you go.

Finn: Thank you.

Sheila: Uh-huh. Look, I understand that steffy has arguments for not trusting me.

Finn: Just all the– the history of you and the forres–

Sheila: Look– I am– I am, I am well aware and I am never going to forget the terrible mistakes that I’ve made, but that is behind us and everything that I do now, every decision I make, every move I make is so that I can get closer to you and my grandson,

Finn: Steffy and our son are the most important things to me. They’re my priority and they’re my life and my future. I have to do everything that I can to make sure that they feel protected.

Sheila: Oh, by keeping me at arm’s length?

Finn: Yes, for now. If– if you’re truly reformed and you’re living a good life, I’ll try to convince steffy to lighten up her opposition to you because I would really like to get to know you as my birth mother.

Sheila: I’ve disappointed you enough, son. And I promise you are never going to hear anything about me that would let you down again.

Hope: Okay, so now that dad has gone back to work, I need you to be completely open and honest with us.

Liam: Yeah, is deacon maybe adding to your anxiety because I kind of feel like he has that effect on people?

Brooke: No, gosh, no. Deacon isn’t to blame. I am.

Liam: Ye– okay, but hear me out here, and I’m going to say this as gently as possible. I think, I think if you want your best chance at reuniting with ridge, maybe time alone with deacon is not on the menu, especially considering how ridge feels about him?

Hope: And I’m sure, even though dad means well, because I know he feels partially responsible for what happened between the two of you that night, and I’m sure he’s just trying to be there for you and be supportive. I think liam has a point. It might be best to keep your distance right now.

Brooke: I know, I know, honey, I really, I understand. I didn’t invite deacon here. He just showed up. Same way he showed up that horrible nighT. But why couldn’t I control myself? I mean, who does that? Who betrays their own husband in their own home? I let another man sleep in our bed.

Liam: Okay–

Brooke: I know, stop, no, don’t say it. I know nothing happened. I know that, it’s just something really dark. Took over me. Something sinister. There was nothing I could do about it. I let it win.

Thomas: You’re late. I’ve been waiting for you.

Finn: Yeah, well, my son showed up unannounced and i wasn’t about to rush him off. He’s the reason after all I set all this is motion.

Thomas: So you say.

Sheila: If brooke hadn’t vowed to keep me from finn and hayes, I never would have set her up. Your parents reconnecting, that was actually icing on the cake, although I do believe taylor deserves to be reunited with ridge. I know you want that too, thomas,

Thomas: Brooke has hurt my dad more times than I can count, but we need to talk about this.

Sheila: What more is there to talk about? We’re this close to eliminating brooke from your father’s life permanently. Your, you parents are almost a couple again.

Thomas: Almost a couple. My dad is living in the guest house.

Sheila: Yeah. You know, when they’re ready to take it to the next level. And that’s going to come sooner than later, it’s just going to make things more meaningful.

Thomas: My father’s torn. He loves my mother, but he loves brooke too.

Sheila: That’s because he’s under brooke’s spell. Don’t you think it’s time we break that cycle, thomas? Don’t be tempted to tell anyone about what happened at brooke’s

Thomas: I want what’s best for my father, but I don’t know how much longer I can keep this under wraps.

Deacon: Wow.

Steffy: Deacon.

Deacon: Steffy forrester. Been a while. You– you’re having lunch?

Steffy: I’m looking for thomas. Have you seen him? Go with simparica trio it’s triple protection made simple!

Brooke: I have to face up to what I did.

Hope: Mom, you have been. You’ve been taking accountability

Liam: Yeah, little too much. You asked me, I think you’re cutting yourself zero slack here.

Brooke: I destroyed the most important relationship I ever had, with a man that I love. Ridge has been so patient and so understanding, and all I did was hurt him. I took it too far, I took our marriage vows and I just… threw them to hell. What? Why? Because I just wanted to drink alcohol? Because I wanted to kiss deacon? No, I want ridge. That’s all I want, and I need to get him to understand. And I have to figure out a way to explain it all to him.

Steffy: Have you seen my brother?

Deacon: No, I just got here. You want a drink or something?

Steffy: No, thank you.

Deacon: Okie doke, suit yourself.

Bartender: Excuse me. I couldn’t help overhearing, but you’re steffy forrester, right? Yeah, I know who your brother is.

Steffy: Did you see him?

Bartender: Yeah, I– i can’t promise he’s still there, but I just saw him in the alley when I took the trash out.

Steffy: In the alley?

Bartender: Yeah, I don’t know what he’s doing back there, but…

Steffy: Thank you.

Bartender: Sure. Yeah.

Sheila: You can’t say anything, thomas. You need to keep our secret.

Thomas: Our secret? Don’t you mean your secret?

Sheila: No, this is our secret now.

Thomas: You’re the one who sabotaged brooke that night, sheila.

Sheila: Yes. So your parents could get back together.

Thomas: And so you could have a life with finn.

Sheila: And what’s so wrong with that? It’s a win-win. We both get what we want. Steffy and taylor get what they want, too.

Thomas: What you did was messed up, sheila.

Sheila: Oh, come on. You’re no saint.

Thomas: You’re right. I’m not. I’ve done some terrible things and I let my family down, and I don’t want to do that again.

Sheila: I know you don’t want to, but we both know perfectly well that’s exactly what is going to happen if you allow brooke back into your father’s life. Haven’t your parents suffered enough? And look at this– this moment that they have, and it’s right within their reach. So, where is the harm? Where is the harm in them experiencing a new beginning together? And finn, he wants me to have a bigger role in his life. And after all these years, I can start spending time with him. After all these years, thomas. We have been kept apart.

[ Sirens wailing ]

Sheila: It’s a new dawn, thomas. You think about it. You think about it very carefully, because this opportunity will never come again. This is a once in a lifetime gift. So, just go with it. Please, do– do this for me, do this for you, do this for your entire family. You be the hero.

Steffy: What the hell, thomas? If you think I’m not going to find out what’s going on, think again.
