Nick: Hey!

Nate: How you doing?

Nick: Thanks for coming.

Nate: No problem.

Nick: You want a beer?

Nate: Yeah, yeah.

Nick: Can we get one more? Thank you.

Nate: This isn’t about faith, is it? I’ve been apprised of all her tests since her transplant. Everything seems to be going well.

Nick: She’s doing awesome. You know, she’s happy, healthy, very excited for her future. I mean, college is right around the corner.

Nate: Oh, yeah, that’s a, that’s a big step. I’ve been offering moses a bit of advice while he weighs his options. And it’s been pretty fun.

Nick: He is such a great kid, nate. You know, it seems faith has taken an interest in business, too, which makes her grandfather very happy.

Nate: I’m sure. How’s victor’s health these days?

Nick: He’s great. We seem to have caught a run of good luck with that, with dad’s health and sharon’s remission, faith’s transplant. And of course ashland’s recovery, which has been nothing short of miraculous. I was curious if you had ever seen anything like that — you know, someone who was so close to death and then bounces back the way he has.

Nate: In my experience, it’s extremely rare, which makes it all the more impressive. I’d love to go over the protocol one day, given the efficacy.

Nick: Yeah, if you do that, i would love to see that myself.

Nate: Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?

Nick: Uh…look. Ashland’s condition has become a very important subject in this family… much more so than any of us ever expected.

Victoria: Marketing meeting went well?

Ashland: Fantastic.

Victoria: What is it?

Ashland: I just got off the phone with your father. He’s, uh, put a ticking time bomb on his threats against me. I told him to do his best.

Victor: You just made a big mistake, ashland locke. No one threatens me. No one threatens my family… and gets away with it.

Abby: Babe, is that you?

Chance: Yeah.

Abby: How was your nap?

Chance: Good.

Abby: Feeling better?

Chance: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I was pretty worn out there.

Abby: I know your first therapy session was emotionally draining. What can I do to help?

Chance: Okay, well, I’m really worried that I’m gonna make you feel like I’m shutting you out. I want you to know that’s not what I’m doing. I just need some time to figure this out all on my own, you know? Just for now. We can talk about it later… if that’s okay.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Faith: I’m looking at dresses online to wear to your wedding. What did you say the color scheme was?

Mariah: We don’t have anything set in stone, uh, but maybe something black?

Tessa: Or something sparkly?

Mariah: I mean, you can never go wrong with something black and sparkly. So…

Faith: On it. Hey, how did you guys know you were in love?

Mariah: Um…well, you know, I don’t think it’s something we could actually pinpoint. I think we both knew before we could admit it to each other, and that took a while.

Tessa: Yeah, I mean, because being in love, as great as it is, it can be really scary.

Faith: Uh-huh. How many people are you inviting to the ceremony?

Tessa: I think we’re thinking of keeping it small so that we can spend time with each guest.

Faith: Let me know if you need me to handle the door, keep out the riffraff.

Tessa: Oh, I don’t think that’s necessary. We’re not that popular.

Mariah: Oh, you are. I’m just your number-one fan.

[ All laugh ]

Faith: When tessa was on tour, were you guys ever worried that you might not make it, because of the long distance and all the time apart?

Noah: Hey, mom. Is it too late to get a couple triple espressos to go?

Sharon: Not technically, but won’t you be worried about the caffeine keeping you awake?

Noah: No. That is the point. We need a little post-dinner pick-me-up before we go out to the club. I just heard something amazing!

Noah: Uh, where are my manners? Mom, this is cindy.

Sharon: Nice to meet you.

Cindy: Same here. I have already heard so much about you.

Sharon: Oh!

Noah: All good things, i promise. I told her if she wanted to come get espressos, we had to go to my mom’s place because it’s not your typical coffee shop, not where they burn the beans and stuff. It’s special, and that’s because of you. Knowing everyone’s orders, ask about their families. I told her about the thanksgiving tradition.

Cindy: Which is so generous and sweet. I really should have come in here before now, but, you know, I’ve got a coffee shop near work. It just seemed easier. You know how it goes. But I’m gonna start coming in here from now on because I can tell that this is just an amazing place run by an amazing woman. Must be to have raised an incredible guy like noel.

Sharon: Noel.

Cindy: And you passed down some killer genes, too. I mean, look at those eyes. So dreamy!

Sharon: Yeah, he’s pretty great all around. So, where did you say you work?

Cindy: I have a day job, but my real passion is in social media, working as an influencer.

Sharon: Oh. Did you go to walnut grove with noah? He mentioned seeing a high school friend the other night.

Cindy: You know, I didn’t know him in school, but I wish i had! I mean, he is just sexier and funnier than about 99% of the guys I went to school with. We just met today. How lucky is that?

Sharon: That’s so lucky.

Mariah: When tessa left to go on the road, it was very, very hard. But it was also not an excuse to behave badly.

Faith: Oh, my god, I did not mean to bring up any bad memories.

Tessa: Hey, it’s okay. Being a couple means that sometimes you work through things when you make mistakes.

Mariah: And when I…lost my way, tessa was very compassionate, and she was understanding, forgiving.

Tessa: And mariah’s done the same for me, as well.

Mariah: Being in a relationship is not always easy and fun and fluffy, but it also shouldn’t be agonizingly hard, either.

Tessa: And there are shades in between. You find out what works and what doesn’t and what you both need so that you can make it last forever.

Faith: I don’t even know what forever looks like for two people, except grandma and grandpa, and even they’ve had temporary breakups. I know how much my parents loved each other, but now mom has rey, who is awesome, and dad? Who knows? So, it just makes me wonder if soul mates are really a thing. If they’re not, then why risk it? You don’t know if you could just end up with a broken heart.

Victoria: What exactly did my father say to you?

Ashland: You know, I really hate upsetting you like this.

Victoria: Well, you know what? It’s a little late for that. I need to know.

Ashland: Okay, alright. It’s just more of the same. Either I capitulate, or he will expose my terrible crimes to you.

Victoria: These threats that he’s making are totally unacceptable.

Ashland: Yeah, well, I don’t like being the victim of them, either, especially since I’ve been down this particular path many times. How many times do you suppose your family is going to claim that they’ve uncovered some deep, dark secret about my past that makes me unworthy of you? Not to mention the implication that you are some kind of weak-willed victim that’s fallen prey to a terrible monster! It’s demeaning to both of us.

Victoria: I agree with you. I do. But what I’m trying to figure out is why is my father trying to squeeze you out? I mean, even if he has some reason to feel threatened by you, why would he tell this messy and obvious lie? My father is too careful and prudent to pull a move like this. So, there must be something more going on for him to take this kind of risk.

Nick: Look, nate. I have always admired and respected you. You have become a great friend of this family, even though i know there are times when we don’t deserve it. I really don’t like leaning on that friendship right now, but i don’t have a choice. There’s just too much at stake.

Nate: Why don’t you just tell me what’s going on?

Nick: What I’m about to say to you stays with us, alright? Because it’s shocking. It’s been suggested that ashland’s recovery may be too good to be true.

Nate: Sometimes science can seem like a miracle from the outside, when it’s really the culmination of years of research, trial and error, and deep and painful losses before you see any gains.

Nick: Look. I’m not here to question science, alright? But maybe there wasn’t any science involved at all. You know, people are saying that ashland’s entire medical case is all smoke and mirrors and that maybe he was never sick at all.

Nate: I don’t understand. Why would anyone question ashland’s illness?

Nick: Obviously, nate, i wouldn’t even be talking to you about this if there wasn’t some indication that it was true. And if it is —

Nate: Okay, okay, think about what you’re saying. You’re telling me ashland is lying about having cancer, which would mean he would have coerced multiple doctors to do wildly unethical and illegal things. I-I’ve gotten to know the man pretty well, and I can’t believe he would do something like this. In fact, I would turn my attention to whoever is spreading this rumor. Do they even know ashland or have any credibility? I’m 53, but in my mind

Victoria: My dad [Chuckles] He made me believe that he was done interfering in my personal life. You know, I genuinely believe that he was proud and happy for us at the wedding. I guess that was all just a farce.

Ashland: I don’t know. Maybe he was happy for us back then, especially when he thought I would be gone relatively soon, or — I hate thinking this way — maybe victor was putting up a front in italy all along. Maybe he pretended to support the marriage in order to push through the merger, and the plan was to take control of my company and eventually force me out.

Victoria: Hold on a second. Are you saying that you think my father is behind setting you up and that he just didn’t buy into the scam, but he’s actually behind it?

Victor: Well, the two of you seem to be in a rather serious conversation. Everything alright?

Nick: I was just filling in nate about the rumors about ashland.

Victor: Thank you for for following up, son.

Nate: Victor, I hope you don’t mind me asking. Are you the one behind all of this?

Victor: I’m indeed.

Nate: Listen. I know the reputations of some of the physicians ashland’s worked with. They’re excellent doctors who witnessed this condition firsthand.

Victor: Nate, let me just tell you that ashland locke is not the man he appears to be. He committed an egregious hoax. He not only deceived my family — victoria — and now you.

Nate: I can’t believe he would do something so immoral without unassailable proof.

Victor: Why don’t nicholas and I take you over to newman media, and we will show you what you need to see to believe that you were deceived?

Mariah: I’m not sure we have any answers on the risk that is involved with falling in love.

Tessa: I can tell you that we feel like soul mates because we can’t imagine our lives without each other. But if you’re talking about putting your heart out on the line, I mean, the emotional risk is there. I mean, it might not last forever, and it could totally end in ruin.

Mariah: Okay, but, also, uh, it might not, you know? But you’re just not gonna know until you take the chance, you know? So, can I ask? Are we just talking about love in general, or are we maybe talking about you and moses? Okay. Forget I said anything. I don’t want to put you on the spot. I just want you to know that if you want to talk about anything, we’re here to listen.

Faith: I guess I was asking for myself but not because things are bad with moses, because they’re really good. It’s exactly how it was when we first met, but somehow even better. Like, life just makes more sense when he’s around. Does that sound crazy?

Tessa: Not at all.

Faith: But, also, there’s college, and everything could change. And I don’t want it to, but people don’t always get what they want.

Tessa: Yeah, that’s true.

Mariah: Look. I-I get the conundrum. You know, it can be reassuring to find the one. You feel safe and secure and like nothing can hurt you. But, unfortunately, it’s just not the way things work.

Tessa: So, it does take bravery to let yourself fall in love. And it requires trust… and focusing on each other and being a team. And that’s how you two take the world head on.

Abby: Are you hungry?

Chance: No, I’m okay right now.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Chance: Hey, I’m sorry I’m being so quiet. It just took a lot out of me today.

Abby: Yeah. I completely understand.

Chance: You know, I wanted to take you to dinner. Doesn’t look like that’s gonna happen tonight. So, I apologize.

Abby: You know, I don’t care about going out to eat. I’m just so thankful that you went to therapy and that you’re doing it for our family and for yourself. I will never be able to understand what it was like for you in spain. But I am so grateful that you are facing your trauma head on and that you are fighting for us and for dominic. It fills my heart.

If you have this…

Nate: Did you take this video to the police? Do you even know if the man in it is a doctor in peru? Because what decent doctor would pretend to treat a patient? This makes absolutely no sense.

Victor: I’m telling you. We have two doctors who testified on tape, on videotape, that they were paid a lot of money by ashland locke to concoct this bs story about his health.

Nate: What about the doctor in new york? Or the lab where his initial tests were run? That’s where the cancer diagnosis originated.

Victor: My sources were stonewalled at both places.

Nate: It’s called “medical confidentiality.” The staff at the lab has no reason or right to discuss a patient’s condition. And do you even know where the money came from that was used to pay off the peruvian doctors? Because even if it seems like it can be traced back to ashland, someone could be framing him to try to discredit him.

[ Sighs ] With all due respect, I think you two are the ones being played.

Victor: Nate, you’re a good man. You want to believe people. I’m telling you there’s more damning evidence about ashland locke on the way. He’s a fraud, an out-and-out fraud. He’s dangerous, and we need your help in order to prevent him from doing further damage to victoria.

Victoria: I just don’t think that my father is the one who’s trying to make you look like a liar. I can’t see him stooping that low or trying to hurt me in that way.

Ashland: I-I was just trying to consider the alternatives. That’s all. The only reason it came to mind was because you and I have had no luck trying to think of someone else who might have gone to such extremes.

Victoria: No, I get why your mind would go there, and I can also see how my father would buy into this insanity so quickly. But I can’t picture him — i just can’t picture him creating this long-term, wide-ranging conspiracy. Do you know the amount of lies and treachery that it would take to pull something like that off? It’s just too dark, even for my dad.

Ashland: I’m sorry I brought it up.

Victoria: No! Don’t get me wrong. I am absolutely furious with him. The truth of what he’s done is bad enough. I mean, trying to use some lie to get you out of my life?

[ Sighs ] I’m not gonna let that happen.

Cindy: It was like one of those meet-cutes. We were walking down the street, opposite directions, texting, not even paying attention where we were going, and then phones went flying. I suffered a broken screen, and he suffered a broken ego because he went down like a ton of bricks.

Noah: Okay, that is an exaggeration.

Cindy: Is it?

Noah: Anyway, she told me to watch where I was going. Only she worded it a lot less politely than that.

Cindy: I was upset. Anyone would have been.

Noah: I told her I was just trying to go into the café to get a bite to eat. She just walked out and realized she forgot her purse. So, we went back in.

Cindy: And we chatted while he had dinner. I had dessert. I’m talking about the chocolate mousse, not you, noel.

Noah: It’s, uh, it’s noah.

Cindy: Of course it is! What did I say?

Noah: [ Laughing ] It doesn’t matter.

Faith: Hey, dork.

Noah: Who you calling dork, dork? Cindy, this is my younger sister, my much younger sister.

Cindy: Whoa! Meeting your mom and your sister on the first date? Isn’t it a little early to introduce me to your entire family?

Noah: [ Chuckles ]

Mariah: How about my little sister pondering love — and forever?

Tessa: Yeah, I did not have any of that on my mind at faith’s age.

Mariah: Well, you were dealing with a lot of other things.

Tessa: Yeah, the chaos ith my sister and my parents? But you didn’t have it easy, either.

Mariah: No, I did not, and i definitely wasn’t thinking of finding happily ever after. I mean, I was too busy sleeping on friends’ couches and trying to avoid going home to the woman who raised me.

Tessa: [ Laughs ] I mean, yeah, both of us had it pretty rough. But faith hasn’t had it very easy at all, either.

Mariah: Absolutely — alcohol, medical issues, no shortage of family drama. That’s why I’m just thrilled that she can focus on college and having a boyfriend. You know, just normal teenage things.

Tessa: Yeah, I’m really glad that we get to be there for her.

Mariah: By the way, I was really touched by what you told her about our relationship. You know, you didn’t sugarcoat it. But you showed her that we believe that we can get through anything. And I know that I really put that to the test the last few months, and I know that you were really worried about me, with the abduction and bowie’s birth and all the feelings that came afterwards.

Tessa: I just tried to be there for you the best that I could.

Mariah: And you were. But I just wanted to let you know that you don’t have to be strong for both of us anymore. Okay? I am back on my “a” game. And, you know, even though i have scary thoughts, I know we got this.

Tessa: Okay. Um, I got to ask. What kind of scary thoughts?

Mariah: Well, uh, I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t scared about dom being sick. And then, I think about what would happen if our child got sick, you know, even if we get to be parents, which that’s definitely not guaranteed. So, stuff like that. Are you sorry you asked?

Tessa: [ Laughs ] No, no. I do — I want to know everything that’s going on in your head, but yeah, it’s a lot.

Mariah: Well, that’s my talent is worrying about things that haven’t happened or may never happen.

Tessa: I mean, hey, I get it. The world is scary. The future is scary. And that’s why I’m so glad to have a partner that will help me get through it. You tell me that, and I’m glad that I get to return the favor. New densify from crest pro-health.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Chance: You have no idea what that does for me. And not just making love — being here, holding you, laying with you.

Abby: Yeah. I feel the same. You know, we are gonna have a lifetime of experiences — big ones and little moments, everyday moments, watching our son grow up.

Chance: And we have so much to be thankful for.

Abby: Yeah.

Chance: UM…I just got really hungry. I’m gonna go make us a snack, okay?

Faith: So, what’s up with noah’s date? Is this a thing?

Sharon: Um, I’m not sure. But she seems fun, and he seems to be meeting a lot of new people in town.

Faith: He hasn’t mentioned dating much since he got back. But he doesn’t really talk to me about that kind of stuff, anyway.

Sharon: Well, if it makes you feel any better, he doesn’t talk to me about it, either.

Faith: Well, you are his mom.

Sharon: So?

Faith: So, whether he tells us or not, it’d be nice to see him find someone. Maybe seeing tessa and mariah so happy finally put the idea of finding love and settling down into his head.

Noah: No one’s looking to settle down. Okay, kid?

Faith: Okay, eavesdropper.

Noah: You two really need to find something more exciting to talk about.

Faith: Would finding someone special be so bad? It doesn’t have to be cindy. But love can be scary. But we have to be brave.

Noah: Brave, huh?

Faith: Whatever!

Noah: Yeah.

Faith: I’m gonna go vet this new girl.

Noah: No, please don’T.

Faith: Yeah.

Noah: Don’T.

[ Sighs ] What?

Sharon: Uh, nothing!

Noah: No, no, no, no, that’s not nothing. Look. I know what you’re thinking, and yes, there was the walnut grove woman the other night and cindy tonight.& But I mean, come on. That’s what young, single people are supposed to do, right? We’re supposed to go out and have fun. Doesn’t have to mean anything. So, please. I’m begging you, please. Don’t make this into something weird or find some reason you have to worry about me.

Sharon: Why would I worry?

Nick: Look, nate. We get where you’re coming from. I hope you understand why we need to discuss this with you. None of this looks good. Now, we don’t have all of the pieces, but we have enough to seriously question ashland’s condition. And, as you said, this is an awful deception, almost too heinous to contemplate, but we have to do that for victoria’s sake.

Nate: I was there while ashland was experiencing symptoms. I’ve seen him coughing, out of breath, and weak. And I’m his friend. I stood up for him at his wedding.

Victor: I understand that this comes as a shock to you, okay? And I understand that feeling deceived, like we feel deceived, it’s a hard pill to swallow. Considering that, think of what he’s doing to victoria.

Nate: What I don’t get is the why. Why go to this extreme? For what?

Victor: Easy answer — ashland locke wants to control my company.

Ashland: I hate that victor is putting you through this.

Victoria: You shouldn’t feel sorry for me. You should feel sorry for my father. I am gonna fight him with everything that I’ve got. He has no idea what I’m capable of. But I am not gonna let him get away with this. Take my word for that.

Why hide your skin Do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need? Now you can sell your policy – even a term policy – for an immediate cash payment. We thought we had planned carefully for our retirement. But we quickly realized we needed a way to supplement our income. If you have $100,000 or more of life

Victor: Look, nate. Once you look into ashland locke’s background, check out his reputation, you will understand why it was easy for him to convince victoria to fall in love with him, to use her love and her sympathy to convince her to merge newman enterprises with his corporation. Then he befriended you. I’m sure you wondered why he would befriend you so quickly. He doesn’t even know you, really. But he needed you — needed your medical expertise to substantiate his bs about his medical history.

Nate: No, victor. I’m not gonna let you pull me into your version of events. And I resent the implication that I was used and too trusting to realize it.

Victor: Let me ask yoU. Have you read chanccomm’s article about him? The man is full of lies! He faked his own death to assume someone else’s identity. He is not really ashland locke. He’s bobby defranco.

Nick: Victoria knows all the allegations in that article are true. Now, you could ask her about it yourself, but she is under the spell of ashland locke. She believes every explanation, all of his excuses. He uses her trust to take advantage of her, which is why we need to gather as much proof as we can to make sure that he doesn’t do any more damage to victoria or this family. And, nate, we need your help to do that.

Faith: Social-media influencer — that’s so interesting.

Cindy: Tessa porter?! Oh, my god! What are you doing here?! Don’t answer that. That is none of my business. I just have to tell you that I’m your biggest fan. I love your music.

Tessa: Oh, well, hi. Thank you so much.

Cindy: I’m serious! I know every lyric to every song, and I’ve been to just about every single show that you’ve had in the area.

Tessa: You know what? You actually do look familiar. I’ve probably seen you at one of the clubs downtown.

Cindy: I’ve been to them all! Like I said, super fan, but, i mean, I’m sure that people come up to you all the time to say this stuff to you. You’re just humoring me.

Tessa: Oh, no, no. You have a really friendly smile. I’m usually drawn to people like that when I’m performing.

Cindy: What?! Shut your face! You have just totally made my night. You’re never gonna believe this. Oh, my god! And I don’t know how you could have planned any of this, but this is turning into one of the greatest dates of my life, and it is just getting started! We’re going to that club on market street, and it doesn’t get going for a few hours, and we just decided to come here for some coffee. Oh, I have a great idea. Why don’t you and your fiancée come with us?

Noah: No, I’m sure they have plans, um…

[ Chuckles ]

Chance: [ Sighs ] It wasn’t easy talking to dr. Huffman. I mean, it wasn’t easy to open up to him, the same way it is opening up to everybody. I think it did help, though, that he understands what I’m going through, you know? He saw three tours overseas. He’s felt this way. I mean, he gets it.

Abby: I mean, I think that’s one of the reasons why sharon recommended him to us was because of his military experience.

Chance: Yeah, and, you know, we’ve seen a lot of the same things. So, he understands all the physical issues I’m having — the tension, the spaciness, always being on alert. You know, he gets that. Some of it gets drowned out. It does. You know, he understands that it’s hard for me to hear people say that what happened in spain isn’t my fault. But what he doesn’t get is that when people say that, it’s just empty to me. And I try to believe it. I do. And then when I do, I think to myself, if I really try to forget this, if I try to move past it, am I not just betraying my team again? I mean, don’t those people that gave their lives — they’re not coming home. Don’t they deserve to be remembered? To always be with me? I feel like I owe them that. Looking to get back in your type 2 diabetes zone?

Chance: I’m sorry for how that sounded. I-I just don’t understand why i feel like I have to hold on to all this guilt.

Abby: But that is how you feel.

Chance: And that’s why I know I need help. You know, all this pain has just put a wall between us, and i can’t let that happen.

Abby: I know how hard it is for you to talk about this stuff and for you to open up. Thank you for sharing this with me. I just want to be your safe place.

Chance: You are. I am determined not to fail this mission, okay?

Abby: Yeah.

Cindy: Just checking. Are you having as good a time as I am?

Noah: I’m pretty sure i am.

Cindy: Mariah copeland! The other half or “teriah.” What is happening?

Noah: Cindy, mariah is my other sister.

Cindy: Holy crap! I saw online where you showed up at that one concert and professed your love for tessa. I almost died. Correction — I died. No, I was — I was dead.

Mariah: Well, yeah, I was dying there for a second myself.

Cindy: It was one of the most romantic things that I’ve ever seen in my life. Hon, can you please go get me another espresso?

Noah: Yeah, you sure?

Cindy: Tell me everything about you and tessa! I mean, or whatever it is that you feel comfortable with sharing, which hopefully is everything.

Tessa: Cindy seems cool.

Noah: Yeah, yeah, she is. I forgot what I’d been missing, keeping to myself so much. It’s like faith said. You and mariah are couple goals, but right now I’m just trying to have some fun. I’ll leave the true love to the experts.

Cindy: Does she sing her songs to you?

Mariah: Yes.

Nate: Let’s say the doctors are in on the hoax. Someone coerced and paid them. Do you have any incontrovertible evidence that ashland lied about his condition?

Victor: I have damaging evidence.

Nate: But is it enough to make him come clean?

Victor: Not yet.

Nick: We need the help of a medical expert to stop him. Will you work with us?

Victoria: You have finally crossed the line! There is no coming back from this.

Jack: Keemo is so happy in this picture. Who are these other women?

Phyllis: You don’t recognize them?

Jack: No, I — no, wait, that’s — that’s mai, his half-sister, on the right.

Phyllis: And the other women? Relatives or friends? Do you know what kind of significance they could be to keemo?

Jack: I don’t know. I don’t have a clue who his friends were, who his other relatives might have been. I’m completely in the dark here.

Phyllis: Yeah, I understand. Well, we’ll — we’ll just keep on looking for answers, that’s all. That’s why we’re here. I know it may be painful, but… I’m here to help.

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Ashland: [ Sighs ] Okay. Hmm.

Victoria: Oh, my goodness, there you are. What took you so long? We both left crimson lights at the same time.

Ashland: You lost me at the traffic light.

Victoria: I did?

Ashland: Yes.

Victoria: Oh, okay, well, whatever. We’re — we’re both here now, and we have lots of privacy. So, you said that there’s something that I need to know and that it’s about my father.

Ashland: Yes, it is.

Victoria: Well, I assume this is about his objections to your new title. What exactly did he say to you in private? On the drive back to the office, I was growing more and more concerned. Is it about your health? Please, you can tell me. Are you feeling worse? Because if that’s what you told my father, then it makes sense why he would object so strongly.

Ashland: Indirectly, it is about my health. More specifically, uh… it’s about my treatment.

Chloe: So when is michael getting home? He’s been gone a while now. Oh, you must miss him.

Lauren: [ Scoffs ] Very much. This is why I was so skeptical about him working for victor again. I told him this was not gonna be a part-time job, but even i didn’t realize that he would be sent to peru for so long.

Chloe: So when is he planning on coming home?

Lauren: [ Sighs ] He keeps telling me soon, but it can’t be soon enough for me. I haven’t heard from him since yesterday. I called him last night, he didn’t pick up. I’ve been texting him all morning — no response.

Chloe: Well, you should bug him again. I mean, if he is anything like kevin, he doesn’t like to text while he’s working.

Lauren: You’re right, okay. Mm-hmm. Okay. Hopefully that will do the trick. And while I’m waiting, I need a distraction. Let’s talk about work. So how are you and chelsea coming along with the plans for the new sally-free fashion label?

Adam: That is a clever way to grow the sports platform. Good thinking.

Sally: You know, I was a little dubious about leaving fashion for the business world, but it’s actually really exciting. It’s invigorating. It feeds a part of my personality. Always a new problem to solve. Speaking of which, are there any updates on the ashland and victoria situation? Do you really think he’s on his way out?

Adam: Um…I’m not sure. I haven’t heard any updates yet.

Sally: I wonder how victoria’s doing. Emotionally, ’cause you said she might be headed for heartbreak.

Victor: Excuse me. I would like a word with my son in private. It’s a family matter. Facing expensive vitamin c creams with dull results?

Jack: What are we doing here? I get lured here blindly by some anonymous text. I came exactly as directed, and, what, silence? We’re supposed to just comb through all of these letters that keemo wrote to me, which apparently I was never supposed to have read. What am I supposed to make of this?

Phyllis: I don’t know what to make of it either. Maybe it is some sadistic prank by somebody. Maybe it is. Maybe they don’t even know we’re here. Maybe they’re waiting outside. I-I don’t think they’re outside. I think that everything we’re supposed to find out — I think it’s in this house, I think it’s right here.

Jack: You really think whoever sent these texts told me all that they know, and I’m just supposed to figure out the rest?

Phyllis: I don’t know. Maybe they’re just trying to point you in the right direction? Give you the next thing to find? I don’t know.

Jack: I want to know why i was led here.

Phyllis: I know. And what you’re supposed to be looking for — I get it.

Adam: Sally, do you mind? I have to talk to my father.

Sally: Of course. Yeah, I know family always comes first with the newmans. It’s getting late, so I’m just gonna grab a bite at society.

Adam: Well, I’ll join you for a drink when I get done here.

Sally: Perfect, mm-hmm. Bye.

Victor: So, son, I hope you kept the details of ashland’s latest deception to yourself. Now, I understand that you and your new coo have become quite close.

Adam: Dad, look —

Victor: I’m telling you, we don’t need word of this to get out, okay? And I don’t think she’s known for her discretion, is she?

Adam: You can trust me. I haven’t said a word to her about ashland faking his illness. Why would I do that when I don’t even know where things stand myself?

Victor: I’ve told ashland locke to get the hell out of town and leave victoria, or else I will go to her and reveal everything to her myself.

Adam: Really? That’s how you’re protecting her?

Victoria: What about your treatment? Have you had a setback?

Ashland: I’m just a little hesitant right now because i know how close you are to your father.

Victoria: Well, you know how complicated my history is with him, but, I mean, I don’t need protection from his latest machinations, whatever they are. So just tell me.

Ashland: I’m also still struggling with trying to understand why victor would do something like this. Um…

Victoria: What are you talking about?

Ashland: Apparently, your father has taken the word of some disgruntled doctor at the peruvian clinic who was recently fired.

Victoria: Taken his word about what?

Ashland: This doctor, this — this obvious quack, claims that I lied about my medical condition and falsified medical records, paid off various labs and clinics.

Victoria: I don’t understand. Are you saying that he’s accusing you of lying about getting better?

Ashland: No. He’s accusing me of not being sick in the first place. Saying that I don’t have and have never had cancer. In 15 years you drink about 15,000 cups of coffee.

Victoria: That’s insane. My father thinks you lied about being sick?

Ashland: It gets worse.

Victoria: I can’t imagine how.

Ashland: Victor is using this information as some sort of a threat against me. He’s trying to force me out of your life.

Victoria: And exactly how does he think he’s gonna do that?

Ashland: Basically, he just wants me to disappear, and if i don’t do that, he’s threatening to tell you that I’ve been lying about being sick all along, which I need you to understand is 100%, absolutely not true.

Victoria: What you’re saying right now, it’s — [Chuckles] It’s outrageous.

Ashland: Yes, I agree, and that’s exactly why I’m telling you about this now. I hate to say this, but at this moment, I do not trust your father, and I certainly don’t want you to hear this ridiculous accusation for the first time from him. Besides, we’ve made a pact that we won’t keep secrets from each other anymore, right?

Victoria: Why would my father do this? Why would he suddenly turn on you?

Ashland: I’ve been asking the same question myself. He’s been so supportive of our marriage. He’s been our protector. He even stood by me when others were threatening to expose my past.

Victoria: What has changed?

Ashland: I don’t know. Unless victor honestly believes the lies from this horrible doctor who, for reasons I can’t understand, obviously has it out for me.

Victoria: I just don’t understand why my father would think that’s credible. I met with your oncologist in new york. I’ve seen your medical records. There is absolutely no doubt that you have cancer. The true miracle here is that you’re responding so well to the treatment.

Ashland: You’d think he’d be happy for us.

Victoria: Exactly! I would think that my father would come to me if he thought this was true. I would be the first person he would come to, so I cannot imagine what in the world he must be thinking.

Victor: I’m very afraid that if victoria learns that ashland locke just used her to initiate this merger between newman enterprises and his own corporation, it’s gonna be devastating to her.

Adam: Yeah, I guess I can see your logic in that, but either way, she’s gonna be devastated. Unless…

Victor: Unless what?

Adam: Unless nick was right. She’s managed to forgive him for everything else she’s learned about him, so maybe she’ll find a way to forgive him for this, as well.

Victor: I don’t think this time she will.

Adam: Have you even considered that possibility? I mean, what would that mean for us? Don’t you think that you should be prepared to protect the family and your empire, even yourself, from that outcome?

Victor: What do you think I’m doing, son? It’s imperative that I convince him to get the hell out of town. Leave her. That’s a heartache that’s easier to deal with than to learn what he has done to her. He has used victoria. The whole wedding in tuscany, it’s a ruse to engineer this merger. He’s not gonna get away with it.

Lauren: I’m so happy to hear that chelsea’s meetings in new york are going so well.

Chloe: Yeah, she’s just wining and dining all of her old contacts. You know, she’s got some pretty powerful connections that can help us source fabric and secure our manufacturer. You know, we are a little behind on summer deadlines, so we really need to pull as many strings as we can.

Lauren: But you think you’re gonna be able to get the work out on time, right?

Chloe: Oh, if chelsea has anything to say about it, we will.

[ Both laugh ]

Lauren: Well, good, I’m impressed. Because, I mean, I have relationships in that area, as well, but fenmore’s production schedule is so tight, there is no room to add anything, so I’m very impressed. I’m very impressed. Good for you for taking the initiative to getting your line out.

Chloe: Well, the sooner we are in stores, the sooner we are making money for fenmore’S. And listen, if you want us to make an introduction to any of our connections, let me know because I think we could probably get you some better deals.

Lauren: Really?

Sally: Well, hello.

Lauren: Sally.

Chloe: How are you? It’s been a while.

Sally: I’m good. How’s your new line coming along?

Chloe: You know, it is still in the beginning stages, but it’s very exciting.

Sally: Great. I look forward to seeing it at fenmore’S.

Chloe: So, how is your new job at newman media? Enjoying trading in your sketchpad for spreadsheets?

Sally: I think I found my new niche. Turns out I’m really good at business, and adam and I make a great team.

Phyllis: I don’t know why you were led here. But we can’t stop now. We’ve got to find the answers.

Jack: No, you’re right, you’re right. Maybe if I can read through these letters again, maybe there’s some kind of clue.

Phyllis: Okay, okay, good. Good, I’ll help you. I’ll help you with that. So, okay, let’S… um, do you mind if I…?

Jack: Yeah, yeah, go ahead.

Phyllis: So this — this is nice. No postage stamp.

Jack: That’s a pretty picture.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Jack: Unsent. Do you think there’s something significant there?

Phyllis: I don’t know. That’s hard to tell. Alright. This is really beautiful.

Jack: Wait, wait, stop.

Phyllis: Alright. Does that mean something to you?

Jack: No. But that’s the thing, it means nothing to you, it could mean the world to keemo. I will never know why, ’cause i can’t ask him, and I just think it’s wrong for us to be poring through all of his personal items.

Phyllis: We’re just looking for some truths.

Jack: You know what? It’s one thing to read letters that keemo wrote to me — even though he intended for me to never see them — it’s another thing to rifle through his most prized possessions.

Phyllis: Okay, jack, you’re — you’re going back and forth, you know, between being curious and feeling like you’re violating keemo’s memory. I’m just gonna be blunt here. Keemo’s gone. I mean, I’m sorry. But he’s gone. You aren’t violating his memory by going through his things. And by the way, I mean, look at how this whole thing has played out. Here we are, and this box is here. It was not left here by accident. So, really, whoever has been sending you the texts, obviously they worked it out so that this would be the only thing left in the house and we would go through it.

Jack: So your theory is that this is some kind of treasure hunt so I can piece together keemo’s life.

Phyllis: Listen, I completely understand if you don’t want me to go through all of this with you. I’m trying to be supportive, that’s all. But you just can’t give up now. Jack, I think the answers that you’re looking for, I think you’ll find them here, but you just got to keep your eyes open and keep on looking.

Feeling sluggish or weighed

down?

Chloe: I’m glad you’re enjoying your new job.

Sally: Yeah, it’s an opportunity of a lifetime.

Lauren: I need to make a business call.

Sally: Huh. Was it something I said?

Chloe: No doubt. [ Chuckles ] But I’m glad she stepped away. I’ve been wanting to talk to you.

Adam: So what if ashland doesn’t go along with your plan? I mean, do you really think he’s gonna give in to your ultimatum?

Victor: I don’t think he can afford not to.

Adam: Well [Sighs] You better have your evidence all lined up so he knows you can back up your threat.

Victor: Unfortunately, I’ve not been able to get in contact with michael baldwin ever since I confronted ashland locke. However, michael baldwin assured me that he was gathering all the pertinent information and sending it to me by courier.

[ Cellphone rings ] One second. I should have that soon. What’s this? One of my investigators. Yeah. What have you got? Okay, you stay on it.

Adam: So, what’s going on?

Victor: Apparently michael baldwin has disappeared. So did the two peruvian doctors. He moved out of his hotel in lima, and neither of them have been seen again.

Adam: This doesn’t sound good.

Victor: No. Doesn’t sound good at all.

Adam: You think ashland got to him, stopped him from sending the proof?

Victor: Well, I’m gonna deal with it.

Ashland: You know, for your sake, I’ve been trying to rationalize your father’s actions. I mean, I know he’s still a very protective father. He’s also a protective mogul. And maybe now that I’m not, you know, dying anymore, maybe he just doesn’t want anyone other than newman blood running the company that he built.

Victoria: I don’t think that’s it. At various points throughout the company’s history, people outside of the family have held the ceo title.

Ashland: Then maybe he’s threatened by me specifically. Maybe he just wants me out of the picture and out of newman/locke for good, and this would certainly be an excellent way to get rid of me.

Victoria: I just don’t believe that.

Ashland: But I can certainly understand the mind-set. I mean, this is his legacy.

Victoria: Yes, but newman/locke is your legacy, too, and accusing you of lying about being sick, it’s just outrageous. I can’t believe my father would think for one minute that i would find you capable of doing anything so heinous.

Ashland: Well, I have been called the locke ness monster.

Victoria: Stop it. I hate that name. I hate that. It bears no resemblance to the man that I love, and I just — i don’t want to joke about that.

Ashland: Okay. But there was a time when that name fit like a glove. That man doesn’t exist anymore. And that’s because of yoU.

Phyllis: Okay, you know, let’s end off for today. Let’s go check in at the hotel, eat something. You must be hungry. I’ve starved. I could use a hot bath, as well.

Jack: That’s probably a good idea.

Phyllis: Yeah, I’ll call for a car.

Jack: This is a little more overwhelming than I imagined.

Phyllis: I can imagine. Just getting a car, and we’ll… I mean, or we can — we can stay and just still take a look at some things.

Jack: Tickets to a broadway show, three years ago. Who did he take with him? More beautiful postcards of vietnam. None of them sent. Obviously from…a wedding.

Luan: It’s lovely, darling. Thank you.

Jack: And there’s more to come.

Luan: You put me on the spot. Here you are giving me early gifts, while I’m totally without an idea for you. You’re a difficult man to buy for.

Jack: Oh, go to the toy section. I’m a kid at heart.

Luan: I’m serious. I’ve been wracking my brain trying to think of some unique surprise. Something you’ve always wanted.

Jack: I already have something I’ve always wanted. All wrapped up in a beautiful gift named luan.

Luan: You’re a hopeless romantic.

Jack: Only since you walked back into my life. How waking up with you, every day is christmas.

Luan: I feel the same way. All those years I never dared hope. Yet here I am. Christmas 1995, standing in front of a warm with my american gi.

Jack: Never forget one thing. You have already given me the greatest gift I could ever get. A son. So stop worrying about what’s on those store shelves, okay? Not only have I found you, i found the son I always wanted. Santa outdid himself, with maybe a little help from the guy upstairs. This is gonna be the merriest christmas ever and the happiest new year.

Phyllis: That’s very pretty. Do you think that it belongs to one of the girls in the photo?

Jack: No, this was luan’S. I gave it to her one christmas. After she died, I — I sent it to keemo, along with some other keepsakes. This is a sign.

Phyllis: A sign of it?

Jack: A sign that he did not erase me from his life. It’s a picture of me and luan at our wedding. I’m mark

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

We decided it’s time

to put a different

Chloe: Now that it’s just the two of us, I can be more honest. I genuinely liked working with you. I think that you are extremely talented and you have a real gift for design, and I am proud of what we created at newman fashion.

Sally: Me too. Everything was peachy. Till chelsea showed up.

Chloe: Well, I’m sorry that the two of you never found a way to work together.

Sally: Well, it wasn’t really that we couldn’t find it — just chelsea didn’t want it.

[ Sighs ] Anyway, I want you to know that I really, really enjoyed working with you too, and I’m sorry that it didn’t last. But, hey, it seems like everyone landed exactly where they’re supposed to.

Chloe: Well, I hope so. And however things have turned out, I just hope that you haven’t given up on your dreams.

Sally: Nope. Haven’t been given up on them at all.

Jack: Our wedding day was something I thought would never come. I thought I’d lost her forever. But somehow the stars aligned and we found each other again and were given a second chance. And perhaps the biggest miracle, I found out we had a son together. Keemo was angry at first. I think he felt abandoned, but over time, with patience, with kindness, I eventually won him over. He was the best man at this wedding.

Phyllis: Well, so the two of you were close for a time.

Jack: Oh, yeah, which made it all the more painful when he cut me out of his life.

Phyllis: Tell me more about the wedding.

Jack: The wedding was small but beautiful. Was a mix of american and vietnamese traditions. Luan wore red. And she was radiant. We wrote our own vows. Luan… my gentle angel, I choose you above all others to share my life with, now and forever.

Phyllis: Wow. It’s truly remarkable how you two found each other again.

Jack: It was nothing short of a miracle. We were supposed to spend the rest of our lives together as a family.

[ Applause ]

Adam: Lauren. Chloe. Well, I hope things are going well with the new fashion line.

Chloe: Yes, they are, and chelsea is in new york right now handling some business, but you probably already know that ’cause I know you two are still in touch regarding connor.

Adam: So, lauren, how — how are you? Have you heard from michael?

Lauren: Well, seeing that he is on business for victor, i would think that you and your father would know more about his status than I would.

Adam: Well, I seriously doubt that. I’m sure that you talk with him far more frequently than we do. Ready for that drink?

Sally: Absolutely. It was really nice talking with you, chloe. Lauren.

Chloe: Hey, you okay?

Lauren: He hasn’t responded to my text, so I called him, he didn’t pick up. I left a message, but…he’s been so good at staying in contact since he’s been in peru, and now this — this silence and adam’s fake nonchalance has me very worried.

Chloe: Oh, first of all, pay no attention to adam. And I’m sure that michael will be in touch with you soon. He probably just doesn’t have cell service and he’s not getting any of your messages.

Lauren: I wish that were true, but I think I — I need more information.

Victor: Yes, lauren. How are you?

Lauren: Well, I’d be a lot better if my husband were responding to my texts and my calls. Have you spoken to him recently?

Victor: Well, yes, of course I’ve been communicating with him. You know, and as soon as he’s finished with his work in south america, he’ll return home.

Lauren: [ Sighs ] Well, if you hear from him, please, please have him call me.

Victor: Of course. Now, you have a good day, alright?

Lauren: Thank you, victor.

Chloe: So did he have any answers?

Lauren: None that make me feel any better. Most bladder leak pads were similar.

Sally: Is everything okay with victor? I know he said it was “family business,” but seeing that I am the coo of one of the newman family enterprises, I think i should be included in what’s going on.

Adam: Hmm.

[ Chuckles ] Don’t push it.

Sally: Fine. But I could tell something was up, and it was far more urgent than a family picnic.

Adam: You have gotten all the details that you’re gonna get. And believe me, it is for your protection. You don’t want to be anywhere near this. Because it might not work out the way that victor hopes.

Victoria: You know you’re entirely self-made. I have nothing to do with the man that you’ve become.

Ashland: I’m not sure that you fully understand how profoundly your love has changed me. Victoria, there are things that I have done in my past that i would never think about doing today now that I’m with you.

Victoria: You’ve been through a lot this past year. I think that’s given you a new perspective.

Ashland: Yes, but it’s your love for me and my love for you that has made me a different and far better man. You somehow have put that other guy [Chuckles] Out of his misery and banished him forever, and for that, I will be eternally grateful.

Victoria: Those are beautiful words, but you know the credit doesn’t belong to me — it belongs to you. And if I’ve learned one thing in my life, it’s that you can’t change a person unless that person wants to be changed.

Ashland: Mm.

Victoria: You are very ambitious and you’re a survivor. Yeah, I know you’ve made some bad choices, but so has my family. They’re not innocent in that, and my father chief among them.

Ashland: That’s true. We all make mistakes, and victor newman is certainly no saint.

Victoria: Which is why I just can’t believe and accept that he has turned on us this way.

Jack: [ Chuckles ]

Phyllis: What is that?

Jack: It’s a statement of paternity. I’m amazed he still had this. I had this drawn up and gave it to him after the wedding ceremony.

Phyllis: He kept it after all this time. Meant something to him.

Jack: Can’t help but wonder just how deeply conflicted he was. If we’d ever had a chance to reconnect, be face-to-face, if i could’ve changed his mind in some way… could’ve re-established a father-son relationship and put all that pain of the past behind us.

Phyllis: Yeah, don’t torture yourself like that. You’re never gonna know.

Jack: What if I had disregarded all those angry e-mails cutting me out of his life? What if I’d just decided to stand firm, to not back off? I mean, I thought I was respecting his wishes — what if that was wrong? Isn’t it a parent’s job to know when a child needs you to push back? To stand firm, to not give up? That there are needs behind all of that anger and accusation?

[ Sighs ]

These are the faces

Phyllis: I don’t think you should go down that path. I know this is hard for you. But it’s also really hard for me…to watch you struggle with something for which there’s no longer a solution.

Jack: Part of why we came here is for closure. I don’t know that I can have that without asking the tough questions.

Phyllis: Hey, I understand, but maybe now is not the time.

[ Sighs ] Let’s — let’s deal with the real reason we came here — the mystery behind who’s sending the texts.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah, you’re right. We should stay focused.

[ Sniffs ] I need to get out of here. I…

[ Sighs ] It’s just been a long day. I —

Phyllis: Yeah, it has.

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: All of those people meant something to keemo. Could one of them be behind who is sending those text messages?

Sally: Just answer one question for me.

Adam: No.

Sally: Come on, hear me out. If victor’s plan with ashland and victoria — whatever it is — fails, will the fallout affect you?

Adam: I doubt it. At least not in a negative way.

Sally: What do you mean?

Adam: If…if victor miscalculated and it creates a rift with victoria, the dynamic could dramatically change at newman/locke…which might just end up working in my favor.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Ashland: Hello, victor. I’ve been expecting your call.

Victor: No more stalling. You have one hour or I take everything I know straight to victoria.

Ashland: Hmm.

[ Sighs ] Do it. I’m not going anywhere.

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Kevin: There are a million logical reasons to explain why michael’s been out of touch. You know he can take care of himself.

Lauren: I do, and that’s why I’m so worried.

Ashland: You’ve spoken to victor.

Nate: Tell me you haven’t been lying to me and the entire newman family this whole time.

Jack: This was not here last time.

Phyllis: Huh. It’s a picture of a young girl. Says “allie” with a phone number.

Proofread by Anita

Esme: I don’t know what’s sadder, that you can’t take responsibility for taping your revolting little spectacle and sending it out to the world…

Cameron: We didn’t even know it existed.

Esme: …Or that you can’t do a halfway decent job of blaming me for it. If you are so hell-bent on blaming someone, don’t look at me. I wasn’t there. Why don’t you ask someone who was?

Trina: What’s going on?

Cameron: What was supposed to be a private moment between Joss and me was filmed and made public.

Trina: You mean —

Josslyn: There’s a video of me and Cam from the cabin, and it just played in front of Professor Khan’s class.

Trina: O-oh, my god, Joss. I’m so sorry.

Esme: Are you, though?

Harmony: You’re cold? Well, we can fix that. I can get you a blanket.

Kevin: You’re Harmony, yes?

Harmony: Yeah, that’s right. And you’re Ryan’s brother, Dr. Collins. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you visit before.

Kevin: No, I limit contact with my brother whenever possible.

Harmony: So what made you show up today?

Kevin: Curiosity. I understand you’re Ryan’s primary caregiver. How would you assess his condition?

Harmony: Uh, it’s unchanged. He remains locked in, but he communicates only by blinking.

Kevin: So I’ve heard. Hello, Ryan.

Maxie: Hey, I hope you don’t mind Bailey Louise crashing our ladies’ lunch.

Britt: Hi! Of course I don’t. It’s about time I officially met my niece.

Maxie: Oh, by all means. Bailey Lou, this is your Auntie Britt. Hi.

Britt: I’m your resident bad influence. Okay? I promise to send you home all sticky and keep all your secrets.

Maxie: Speaking of secrets, can you forgive me for mine?

Laura: I do think this is our best shot at finding out what Victor’s real agenda is.

Sam: I agree. Now we just have to iron out the logistical issues.

Drew: Victor is not gonna be easy to manipulate. Our execution has got to be flawless.

Laura: Which is why we shouldn’t loop in any more people. Can we agree on that? The fewer people, the better?

Drew: Absolutely.

[ Knock on door ]

Dante: Hey, I was in the neighborhood and thought I’d stop by. Oh, you got company. Um… should I come back another time?

Ava: This is a pleasant surprise.

Victor: I’m only sorry Nikolas isn’t here. I was, uh — I was hoping to share some tea with my nephew.

Ava: Oh, are we talking literal tea or juicy gossip?

Victor: [ Chuckles ] As fun as the latter would be, I’m afraid Darjeeling is more what I had in mind.

Ava: Well, that can be arranged. Will I do since Nikolas isn’t here?

Victor: Well, what I was hoping to discuss with my nephew I could happily relay to his charming wife. It’s about Spencer. The, um — the poor boy’s struggling, and I’m afraid you and Nikolas are just making things worse.

Kevin: So, tell me more about Ryan’s communication skills. You say he can blink out complex messages?

Harmony: Yeah, well, it depends on the caregiver. Um, Ryan and I can communicate pretty effectively with the letter board, but it doesn’t always go so well with the — with the other staff.

Samuel: May I help you?

Nikolas: Here to visit Spencer. You know who I am. My Uncle Victor hired you to look after Spencer. So why don’t you go find him? I’d like to see my son.

Samuel: But does your son want to see you?

Britt: Here we go. Maxie, there’s nothing to forgive.

Maxie: Yeah, but Bailey’s your family. And I kept her hidden from you. Not that that was my intention. I mean, plan was for you to deliver her.

Britt: Yeah, but how could we have known Cyrus would try to kill me and I’d end up on the run with Jason? I mean… things happened. I-it’s okay. I understand. And you kept my beautiful niece safe. And now you’re both here. I’m so grateful and really proud of you.

Maxie: Thank you. But I just hate that Peter got his hands on her at all.

Britt: I know, but it was ultimately your quick thinking that saved your daughter. And, Maxie, Peter’s gone. We don’t ever have to worry about him again.

Maxie: Yeah, we don’t have to worry about Peter. But he didn’t take Bailey on his own. He was incarcerated. He was hospitalized. There’s another person out there that is responsible for abducting Bailey, and they’re free as a bird right now.

Laura: Dante, come on in.

Dante: Laura, Drew.

Drew: Hey.

Dante: Uh… what am I walking in on?

Laura: Um…a plot.

Dante: A plot?

Laura: Mm.

Dante: Sounds both illegal and dangerous.

Laura: It’s definitely risky, and the legality is kind of murky, so we’re gonna call this “unofficial.”

Sam: But necessary.

Dante: Well, it has to be if the mayor’s involved.

Laura: Well, it could be considered a matter of public safety, but actually, the scope of this goes way beyond my interest as a mayor. I’m here as mother, as a grandmother. And even though this plan gives me pause, I am committed to doing what must be done.

Drew: Sounds like you’re considering bringing Dante in, Laura.

Sam: We can trust him.

Laura: Yeah, I know. Would you like to join us? I mean, given your position, I understand if you don’t want to help us, but I need your discretion either way.

Dante: Yeah, of course. Alright, I’m in.

Laura: [ Chuckles ] Just like that?

Dante: Yeah, I trust you, you trust me. What are we doing?

Laura: Wow. Okay. Oh, dear, look at the time. Um, you know what? I am gonna let Drew and Sam fill you in on the details, because Kevin’s waiting for me and I’m already late. Um… don’t anyone make a move without consulting me first, okay?

Drew: Absolutely not. Yeah, we’ll reach out as soon as the plan gets solidified.

Laura: Okay, great. Welcome aboard. Thanks.

[ Door opens ]

Dante: The plan to do what?

[ Door closes ]

Drew: Stop Victor Cassadine.

Victor: I was visiting Spencer earlier today, and, uh, I’m afraid he’s devastated at not being able to visit his mother’s grave on the anniversary of her death.

Ava: Is that somehow my fault?

Victor: Well, of course it is. It’s entirely your fault. You pressed charges.

Ava: Spencer stalked and terrorized me and my child.

Victor: Not his finest hour, I agree. But then I’ve always thought it best to keep family squabbles in-house.

Ava: Well, what’s done is done. Can’t change the past.

Victor: Agreed. But you can change your future plans.

Ava: Any plans in particular? Well, now that you mention it, I think it best if you and Nikolas rethink your vow renewal.

Kevin: My brother appears unresponsive.

Harmony: Why don’t you let me try? Ryan, do you need some eye drops? That’s a no.

Kevin: So your eyes aren’t dry. You just have nothing to say to me. Let’s keep it that way. Harmony.

Spencer: Thanks, Samuel. It’s okay.

Nikolas: I have to admit, I’m surprised you’re willing to see me. Last time I was here, you told me not to bother coming back.

Spencer: You can thank my better angels for a change of heart. One angel in particular.

Nikolas: Does this angel have a name?

Trina: What the hell are you trying to imply?

Trina: Just wondering, are you sorry for Joss and Cam, or are you apologizing for something more?

Trina: Like what?

Esme: Whoever recorded and e-mailed that video was in the cabin.

Trina: And you’ve got the nerve to be pointing your crooked finger at me?

Cameron: Nobody’s pointing fingers.

Josslyn: Oh, I am, right in her face.

Esme: Once again, Joss, spence and I left that night. But, of course, Trina probably doesn’t remember much from that night. You were pretty out of it.

Cameron: Okay, there’s got to be an explanation to all this.

Trina: Oh, there is. You guys were set up.

Britt: Austin and my mom are convinced that Victor Cassadine’s involved.

Maxie: Yeah, but they can’t prove it.

Britt: Yet. There’s no way my mother’s letting this go.

Maxie: Anna and Robert aren’t gonna drop it, either. But you know what? I’m really tired of looking over my shoulder and jumping at shadows. I just want to relax and hang out with my kids, you know, spend time with my precious baby girl.

Britt: Aww. How are James and Georgie feeling about their little sister?

Maxie: Aww, a bright spot in all this. They’re so in love.

Britt: As are you. I can see it.

Maxie: Well, you know, it’s new. Anything’s possible. But I’m not gonna rush things.

Britt: I was referring to Bailey.

Maxie: Oh. Right.

Britt: [ Laughs ] Who are you talking about?

Laura: Thank you. [ Chuckles ]

Kevin: Well, I hope your day was more productive than mine.

Laura: [ Sighs ] Well, that remains to be seen. What happened at spring ridge?

Kevin: Ryan refused to communicate with me. He blinks messages to be understood by the caregivers and the medical staff. In fact, I saw him interact with his primary caregiver, but he absolutely refused to acknowledge me.

Laura: What does that mean?

Kevin: I’m not sure. But it makes me uneasy.

Spencer: Uncle Victor urged me to be more receptive to your visits, despite any, uh, misgivings I might have.

Nikolas: And you listened to him?

Spencer: Well, why wouldn’t I? He listens to me. Believe it or not, uncle Victor holds you in high esteem.

Nikolas: I’m surprised. I wouldn’t expect Victor to be my champion.

Spencer: Well, here’s something else that might surprise you. Uncle Victor has never said a word against you. He always insists that family is what matters most, which is why it’s so surprising to me that you never seem to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Nikolas: My dealings with Victor are complicated, but I do agree with him on the importance of family. That’s why I’m here today, of all days.

Spencer: So you remember.

Nikolas: It’s been almost two decades since you lost your mother. It still seems like it was yesterday. I regret that you’ve lost so much in your young life.

Spencer: Well, I lost you… twice.

Nikolas: You haven’t lost me. I’ve lost you.

Ava: Our vow renewal is none of your business.

Victor: [ Sighs ] And therein lies the problem. You and Nikolas want to live in your own private little bubble. And while that might be very romantic, I don’t think either of you considered the effect it has on Spencer. It’s driven him to these sad, desperate acts in an attempt to get his father’s love and attention.

Ava: Spencer wants to break us up.

Victor: Well, of course he does. Why wouldn’t he? He has to watch the two of you so deeply in love, it’s to the exclusion of anyone else, including him. H-how do you think that makes him feel?

Ava: Spencer is a young man. He’s not a child. And from what I’ve seen, he should be less concerned with his father’s love life and more concerned with his own.

Trina: Only one person at that cabin was twisted enough to gift a teddy bear with Ryan chamberlain’s voice to an innocent child.

Josslyn: Or torch Ava’s car and leave her murdered daughter’s hospital badge underneath it.

Esme: Those were terrible mistakes.

Josslyn: Mistakes? Because you have regrets? Or because you got caught?

Trina: And now everyone knows what kind of soulless person you really are.

Esme: I messed up. I don’t know how many times I can apologize. Forever, I guess, but suggesting that I set up Joss and Cam? Nice deflection, Trina.

Trina: When someone shows you who they are, believe them. You have had trouble follow you since you first stepped foot into Port Charles. And now you expect us to believe that this disgusting stunt is somehow beneath you?

Cameron: Hey, guys, let’s just not do this right now.

Trina: I don’t want to do this at all, Cam. And I’m sorry if this is making things harder for you and Joss, but Esme’s coming for me, and I’ll be damned if I don’t defend myself!

Esme: No. You’re right. Trina’s not to blame here. I’m the one at fault.

Britt: Austin? You two are a thing? Officially?

Maxie: We’re officially trying it out.

Britt: Ooh! But I knew Austin liked you. I just figured after he pointed Victor in Bailey’s direction, his chances with you had dropped to none and never.

Maxie: Yeah, Austin majorly messed up, but he apologized. And if you take into consideration how supportive he’s been and his quirky personality that just cracks me up, I don’t know, I want to see where it goes. Slowly. Super slowly.

Britt: Well, after what happened with Peter, I-I’m very proud of you for not rushing into things so fast. Very pragmatic.

Maxie: My kids just got their mom back. I need to settle in and re-establish stability for them. And then there’s Deception. We’re coming up on the IPO. And I’ve done, like, nothing to contribute. So “officially unofficial” is all I can handle with Austin at the moment. What about you? Anyone new on the horizon?

Britt: Same as always. I mean, work keeps me busy.

Maxie: Work always keeps you busy. What’s really keeping you from seeing someone?

Josslyn: You admit that you’re behind this?

Esme: In a manner of speaking. I pushed for the weekend getaway and described it as a couples’ trip, which made Trina feel like an outsider. Then I asked those provocative questions during the drinking game. It was immature and petty, and I’m sorry. Had I known it would push Trina over the edge…

Trina: Oh, hell no! You haven’t seen me go over the edge!

Cameron: It’s not worth it.

Trina: No! Not when she’s talking all this trash about me!

Esme: I had no idea you had issues with anger, Trina. You always seem so poised. But if my psychology coursework has taught me anything, it’s that sometimes the people who seem the most controlled have an undercurrent of behavioral dysfunction.

Trina: Who the hell are you calling dysfunctional, you conniving bitch?

Nikolas: You know, we both have a lot to answer for. I say like father, like son. Seems accountability’s something we both struggle with, but I’m certain of one thing. You’re the greatest gift of my life, Spencer. I planned to tell Courtney that today when I visited her grave.

Spencer: You visited mom’s grave?

Nikolas: ‘Cause I knew you couldn’t and because I had some things I wanted to say to her.

Spencer: Like what?

Nikolas: I wanted to apologize for failing you. You would’ve been so much better off if your mother had lived. I wanted to ask for help.

Spencer: What kind of help?

Nikolas: Help being a better father to you. I didn’t get a chance to say any of it because sonny was there. And despite everything going on with his own life, he was quick to point out the mistakes that I’ve made with you.

Spencer: Yeah, that sounds like Uncle Sonny.

Nikolas: [ Sighs ] I’m not his biggest fan. But… he certainly cares about you. So do I.

Spencer: I know, father. But what about Ava? Where does your wife fit into all of this?

Harmony: I’m surprised you chose “Wuthering Heights.” Although I guess it’s not really a romance, if you read the novel. It’s about the price of obsession, isn’t it?

Victor: I am simply trying to promote family harmony.

Ava: By criticizing Nikolas and me?

Victor: Your desire to recommit yourselves to each other is lovely. No, actually, it’s inspiring. But isn’t a vow renewal also a chance to recommit yourselves to melding your families together? And how can you do that without including Spencer?

Ava: What are you suggesting, that we call off the ceremony?

Victor: Oh, no, no, no. Of course not. But as I said, it’s a family affair, and as such, well, surely you have to include the entire family.

Ava: I appreciate that sentiment. But Nikolas and I want a drama-free ceremony. It is, after all, still about us.

Victor: Yeah, of course it is. But Nikolas and Spencer are in a very precarious position right now, and I’m sure you wouldn’t want to widen the gap between them. And I’m afraid that a small, intimate ceremony would do just that. Now, if it’s a matter of expense —

Ava: It is not.

Victor: Well, excellent. Then it’s all settled.

Ava: Whatever gave you that impression? Please, Victor, do sit back down.

Dante: So, you think Victor’s after you.

Drew: He tried to activate my conditioning a couple weeks ago on the pier. Didn’t work because he had the wrong tarot card. But it all fits. Victor was helping Peter because Peter had promised him the means to control me.

Dante: To what end? I mean, I know — I know you have combat experience, skills. A lot of ex-military do. Why is he going through the trouble for you?

Sam: Because he wants Drew’s memories.

Drew: The theory is, is that he’s gonna activate my conditioning and then he’s gonna order me to tell him something.

Dante: Something?

Drew: Yeah, probably from one of my classified ops when I was a seal. But it doesn’t matter, because Andre Maddox said that those memories, they’re gone. They cannot be accessed.

Sam: But Victor doesn’t know that. So we’re gonna pick up where Peter left off and make Victor think that it’s still possible.

Dante: How?

Drew: We’re gonna supply Victor with a tarot card, make him think it’s the one that Peter never handed over.

Sam: He’s gonna want to use it on him.

Drew: Exactly. I’m gonna play along. Like, whether he asks me a question or he orders me to do something, it doesn’t matter. We’re gonna find out what his objective is.

Dante: You’ll be putting yourself in a pretty vulnerable spot. You sure you want to do that?

Drew: Absolutely. I want Cassadine out of all of our lives for — for good.

Dante: So how do we get him the card?

Sam: Uh, we’re still working on that one.

Dante: Too bad you can’t just put it in an envelope and slip it under his door, huh?

Sam: Yeah, th-that — that would be nice.

Dante: Mm-hmm.

Sam: But you got any better ideas…

Drew: In order for this to work, Victor’s got to believe that he found the card himself. I-I-I just wonder if Peter knew why Victor wanted to activate my condition.

Dante: Well, that point is moot because Peter’s dead.

Sam: Dante, you are a genius. I know how we’re gonna get that tarot card to Victor.

Drew: How?

Sam: Peter’s gonna give it to him.

Esme: If I had any idea you were capable of hurting our friends this way, I wouldn’t have provoked you that night, Trina.

Josslyn: Are you psycho or just stupid? We’re not friends, Esme. And I wouldn’t spit on you if you were on fire.

Esme: I’m sorry you feel that way.

Josslyn: You’re not sorry. You’re not sorry for any of it. You know what? You’re actually probably enjoying yourself. And why not? It obviously took a hell of a lot of trouble to set it up.

Esme: How dare you blame me for this? I’m not the one who’s responsible.

Cameron: Enough! Trina’s right. You’re toxic. Get out.

Esme: But, Cam —

Cameron: I said, get out!

Esme: Fine. I’ll go. I just hope you both realize who your true friends are someday.

Trina: I swear, one more word, and I don’t know what I would have done. Joss, are you gonna be okay?

Josslyn: I just need to pull myself together so that I can leave this room.

Trina: I just don’t know who she thought she was fooling with that fake innocent act.

Josslyn: Yeah, she’s the absolute worst.

Trina: Joss.

Josslyn: So, how do you think it happened? After she and Spencer left?

Trina: Uh, Cameras have timers.

Josslyn: Right. Did anyone see her near our room?

Cameron: I-I don’t know. I-I wasn’t watching her. I didn’t think I needed to.

Trina: And sadly, I was out of it most of that night.

Josslyn: God, I wish this night had never happened.

Britt: Guess who you sound like.

Maxie: Don’t you even say it.

Britt: My mother. Yes. It’s a conspiracy. And during women’s history month, no less. Or do you not care?

Maxie: Of course, I care. I’m the mother of two daughters.

Britt: Well, then you should know how important it is for women to blaze their own trails, reach their own goals, follow their own passions. History isn’t made by women who are desperate to be in a relationship. It’s made by women who see the bigger picture.

Maxie: I am all for making history, for blazing trails, for following passions. I just happen to think love can be a part of that equation. When was the last time you went on a date?

Britt: I haven’t had time, okay? I-I had to expose Cyrus.

Maxie: He’s been in prison for months.

Britt: Then I had to go to Greece and rescue my mother.

Maxie: She’s home, in love with Scott.

Britt: And then the whole Peter thing and —

Maxie: Dead, defunct, departed. Next.

Britt: I work a lot, so unless I date a patient or another doctor, it’s slim pickings.

Maxie: Have you thought about a matchmaking service?

Britt: Oh! You are working with my mother.

Maxie: We just want you to be happy.

Britt: Is anyone ever really happy?

Maxie: That’s dark. That is very dark.

Kevin: So how’d your meeting go?

Laura: Well, um, we have a plan in the works. All we really need is confirmation of what we already suspect — that Victor had a hand in Luke’s death and also in the abduction of Maxie’s baby. He also seems to have an interest in Drew.

Kevin: So do you think this plan could lead to Victor’s arrest?

Laura: Probably not. He’s got a real talent for evading justice, but to be honest, right now, I would settle just for getting him out of Port Charles, you know, get him away from Spencer and Nikolas.

Kevin: What about Ava? Is she on board?

Laura: She is. We are putting together a small army. [ Chuckles ] All eyes on Victor. All we need is to come up with the right bait. And then we could trip him up for good.

Victor: As you wish, Ava. I didn’t mean to jump the gun.

Ava: Thank you. I appreciate your concerns, Victor, I do, and I take them to heart. But if you are expecting me to unilaterally make a decision about our ceremony, you are out of luck. Nikolas and I will decide what’s best together.

Victor: [ Chuckles ] That’s the tragedy of us Cassadines. We’re either fiercely loyal or at each other’s throats, and never the twain. And that plays right into our enemies’ hands.

Ava: Well, that’s a bit grandiose, don’t you think?

Victor: Well, maybe, but I’ve been a Cassadine a lot longer than you have, Ava. And there are always those who wish to thwart us, to undermine our power, feed off our disunity. Stavros, Mikkos, Helena — they all tried and failed to unify us as a family. But I am determined to change that. That’s why I’ve been cultivating a relationship with my son, Valentin, as well as working to end the rift between Nikolas and his son. That’s why I’m always there to help Nikolas in times of trouble.

Laura: Victor is trying to make nice right now with Nikolas, which means he’s going to do the Same with you.

Ava: Hmm. Well, he’s already trying pretty damn hard.

Laura: Good. Good. Let him. Get him to lower his guard so much with you that he might even confide in you.

Ava: And if Victor says something incriminating, you’d like me to pass that on to you?

Victor: I have big plans for this family, Ava. But I need your help.

Ava: With what? What are these big plans?

Harmony: I guess if you go by pop culture, Heathcliff is the hero, but, you know, if you really dive into the book, he’s vengeful and obsessive.

Nikolas: Ava knows I’m here. She encouraged me to come. Despite what you’ve done to her, she won’t stand in the way of our relationship. Spencer, today was a painful reminder that you’ve already lost one parent. Your other one is right here, hoping that you will give me the chance to make things right between us. What do you say, son? Can you find a way to put the past aside? Can we start fresh?

Spencer: You didn’t get to say what you wanted to my mother at her grave. But I think that she heard you now. And I feel that she would want me to say… …yes.

Esme: Well, this is the best thing I’ve seen all day. At least a close second.

Nikolas: Hi, Esme. I’ll be back to visit you next week. Maybe when you’re out, we can properly celebrate your birthday.

Esme: Didn’t mean to run him off.

Spencer: You heard him. He’ll be back.

Esme: I’m glad.

Spencer: I’m glad that you’re back, too. It gives me a chance to make things right with you. Can you forgive me for being so thoughtless about the loss of your parents? I’m sorry.

Esme: It’s forgotten. I mean, I didn’t have the best relationship with my adoptive parents. My grief was nothing in comparison to yours. I mean, you never even got the opportunity to know your mother.

Spencer: I’m so grateful that you understand. And I get that you’re sensitive where Trina is concerned. I won’t bring her up so much from now on.

Esme: Oh, I’m not sensitive when it comes to Trina. I’m just onto her.

Victor: My dear, the only plan that matters right now is your vow renewal.

Ava: To be clear, I do know the value of family, and I consider myself a Cassadine just as much as a Jerome.

Victor: Oh, I didn’t mean to imply otherwise. And if opening our special ceremony to the family will mark a new start, then I’m all in.

Victor: Ah, splendid.

Ava: But only if my husband agrees.

Nikolas: Agrees to what, darling?

Ava: Oh!

Nikolas: Uncle Victor.

Victor: Nikolas. Your lovely bride and i were having tea. Oh, please do join us. We were, uh — we were discussing the possibility of opening your vow renewal to the entire family.

Nikolas: I thought we decided on just the two of us.

Ava: Yes, well, we had. But your uncle has me wondering whether that’s the right way to go. And wasn’t I just saying earlier how important family is and how we ought to make an effort? Maybe we could start by inviting Spencer. I mean, he may not come, but we could at least extend the invitation.

Victor: I’d be happy to do my part to bring the lad around.

Nikolas: Well, you do seem to have a lot of pull with my son.

Victor: Is that a problem?

Nikolas: It worked in my favor today. Spencer and I are in a better place than we’ve ever been.

Victor: Yet I feel you’re still uncomfortable with our relationship.

Nikolas: I have no issue with you getting to know Spencer. What worries me is what he might discover about you. For instance, none of us initially knew that you were in league with Peter August. Are you hiding anything else?

Victor: Certainly. Oh, if you’re concerned that I have an ulterior motive, I most certainly do.

Sam: Peter had personal effects, right? I mean, items that were with him at the time of his death — maybe a watch, wallet, keys?

Dante: Yeah, sure. Yeah, they would’ve had all that collected off him. That’s standard procedure.

Drew: And who would have that stuff now?

Drew: WSB.

Sam: As evidence?

Dante: Uh, maybe at first, and then they would have gone through it, and then passed it on to Peter’s next of kin.

Drew: Bailey, by way of Maxie.

Sam: And we have to make that known to Victor.

Dante: So that Victor then goes for Peter’s belongings, thinking that the card that he’s looking for to control you is among them.

Drew: Sam, you’re a genius.

Sam: We have to get access to Peter’s things and then plant the tarot card in there, and hopefully, Victor finds it. Do you know anyone that would be able to help us?

Dante: I might. I’ll make a call.

Sam: Thank you.

Kevin: Are you going to share your suspicions with Tracy?

Laura: No, she’s too much of a wild card. Anyway, Anna is going to Austria, so I’m sure that she’ll be able to uncover the truth about Luke’s death.

Kevin: So you have full confidence in Anna? Mm-hmm. Absolutely. And yet you still want to go to Austria yourself.

Spencer: What do you mean, you’re onto Trina?

Esme: I mean every time I turn around, Trina is trying to get close to you.

Spencer: Baby, this is what I was trying to avoid.

Esme: I mean, don’t you dare act like I’m making this up. I’ve seen the stolen glances, her holding your hand at Kelly’s. I know about your secret meeting at the gallery before you reported here, her gift on Valentine’s Day.

Spencer: It wasn’t intended as a Valentine.

Esme: The two of you have an intimate relationship. Share secrets.

Spencer: If we can both keep quiet about running into each other here, neither one of us have to get in trouble for it.

Spencer: Trina and I are just friends.

Esme: Sure. Joss and Cam thought she was their friend until she recorded them having sex and sent the footage to the entire PCU student body.

Spencer: What the hell? When did this happen?

Esme: Just this morning, and they were definitely not ready for prime time.

Spencer: That’s insane. Poor Joss. I —

Esme: Oh, “poor Joss” accused me at first. Till it became clear that her so-called bestie was the culprit.

Spencer: Well, Trina wouldn’t do something like that.

Esme: Spencer, the footage was taken at the cabin after we left.

Spencer: What makes you think that it was Trina?

Esme: She was blackout drunk and in her feelings about being alone and unloved. It tracks.

Spencer: The Trina I know — that’s what I’ve been saying! Maybe you don’t know Trina as well as you think.

Josslyn: Cam, I don’t mean I wish the whole night hadn’t happened.

Cameron: I-I know what you meant.

Josslyn: My mind’s going a thousand miles a minute. I just — I don’t understand how this happened. I-I feel like I’m in a nightmare.

Trina: I know. Hey, we’ll get to the bottom of it. I promise.

Cameron: We need to go to the dean. A-at least it was contained in the internal student PCU website.

Trina: Thank goodness for that.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Josslyn: What? Trina.

Trina: Somebody sent me a link to an X-rated website.

Josslyn: Oh, my god. Have we gone viral?

Laura: You got me. I, um… I would like to go to Austria with anna if I could. I still — I feel a kind of a loyalty to Luke. I’m sorry if that was hard to hear.

Kevin: It’s not. It’s understandable. Of course, I’m concerned that it might be dangerous, and I’ll miss you, but I’m not gonna stand in your way.

Laura: That means the world to me.

Kevin: So will you be leaving right away?

Laura: I’m not leaving at all. I’m needed here.

Kevin: Well, I could have told you that.

Laura: [ Chuckles ] Not just as the mayor. As your wife, as a mother, as a grandmother. We have a predator in Port Charles. I’m not about to leave when it’s circling the nest.

Nikolas: You admit to having an ulterior motive?

Victor: Yes. Happily. As I told Ava, I intend to unite this family. And if I can move the needle even a fraction toward a reconciliation between you and Spencer, then — then I’m gratified.

Nikolas: As am I. Thank you, uncle Victor.

Victor: No, thank you, Nikolas, and Ava, for reconsidering your plans for a vow renewal. To our family celebration.

Nikolas: Our family celebration.

Ava: Family celebration.

Dante: Thanks. I will. Yeah.

Drew: That didn’t sound good.

Dante: Peter’s belongings have already been delivered, and it’s too late to recall the messenger.

Sam: Okay, well, I will reach out to Maxie and see what I can find.

Dante: It’s not Maxie. Peter has stipulated a different executor for his estate.

Delivery Person: Please sign and initial.

Britt: Who is this from?

Delivery Person: Everything you need to know is inside the box.

[ Bailey coos ]

Britt: What is it, Bailey? [ Gasps ] Let’s see. You ready?

Maxie: Well, what is it?

Britt: What’s left of Peter.

Cameron: It’s the link. I am not clicking that.

Josslyn: What do we do?

Cameron: Damage control. But first, we’re getting the hell out of here. Let’s go.

Josslyn: [ Sighs ]

Trina: Go, go. Do what you have to do. We’ll talk later. Joss? I’m here for you.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Esme: Now I’m glad we left that cabin early. Could have been the victims of Trina, the amateur pornographer.

Samuel: Mr. Cassadine, it’s time for routine room checks.

Spencer: These take a while.

Esme: Don’t worry. I’ll be here.

Harmony: Well, that’s it for today. I’ll order you some nutrition before I finish my shift. You warm enough? Okay.

Esme: Do you need something, Mr. Chamberlain? I can get an orderly. You seem distressed.

Ryan: [ Raspy ] What the hell are you doing?

Finn: That shower’s got great water pressure.

Elizabeth: Yeah, Franco just put in a new head…

Finn: Oh.

Elizabeth: …Right before he was killed. Sometimes it feels like he’s still here, all around us.

Finn: Or so someone wants you to believe.

Sasha: It’s so beautiful here. So peaceful. [ Sighs ] I really don’t want to go back to the real world. I never want this trip to end.

Brando: I wish I could give you that. But what I can try to do is make the real world just as special.

Sasha: Mm-hmm. And how do you plan on doing that?

Brando: By planning to spend the rest of my life with you.

Sasha: Let’s do it.

Brando: Do what?

Sasha: Let’s get married — today.

Brando: Right, we’ll just elope somewhere. You’re not kidding, are you?

Sasha: The aisle, the rings, the “I dos” — the works. You and me going to the chapel.

Brando: Today.

Sasha: Today.

Brando: [ Laughs ] Um, I — I don’t know what to say.

Sasha: Here’s a hint. Say yes.

Lucy: So, four bedrooms, four bathrooms, high-end finishes everywhere, state-of-the-art appliances, and, wait for it, your own dock. This lot is so private, you have no neighbors close by and total waterfront access.

Portia: Does the dock come with a yacht?

Lucy: Oh. No, no, I am sorry. Luxury watercraft sold separately.

Portia: Okay, good, ’cause that would make it just a little too good to be true.

Lucy: Hey, it is too good to be true. Believe it. This place is amazing. But I do need to, um, just mention one little thing. Uh, a smoking hot [Chuckles] legal eagle did divulge to me that a certain dimpled don is also in the market, maybe, for new digs.

Sonny: Is it okay that I’m here?

Carly: Yeah, it’s a public place. I’ll make sure the hostess gets you a seat.

Sonny: I don’t need a table. I-I’m just here to see you.

Carly: Here to see me. Um, Sonny, we’ve talked about this.

Sonny: No, no, it’s not about us. It’s — it’s — it’s about today.

Carly: It’s about Courtney.

Sonny: Yeah, Courtney.

Trina: Spencer? What are you doing out of Spring Ridge?

Spencer: It’s a long story. Are you alone?

Trina: Why? Are you planning to take me hostage while you make your getaway?

Spencer: I hear you got my gift.

Trina: That’s what you want to talk about right now? I guess we’ll cover the jailbreak later.

Spencer: Excuse me for being glad to see you. Please tell me you’re not with anyone.

Trina: Anyone that might rat you out — besides me?

[ Devices chiming ]

Professor Khan: Alright, alright.

[ Laughter ]

Professor Khan: Exactly what is more important than Jeremy Bentham?

Male Student: See for yourself.

[ Cellphone beeps ]

Josslyn: What?

[ Gasps ]

[ Students murmuring]

[ Laughter]

[ Student whistles ]

[ Laughter continues ]

Josslyn: Turn it off!

Professor Khan: Oh — oh, yeah. Yes — yes, of course. Um, uh, Bryan, shut it down now!

Portia: Wow, you really have a handle on all the details. I mean, between your real-estate career and deception, how do you even keep it all straight?

Lucy: It’s crazy, but I do, because, truthfully, I am waiting for the impending IPO for deception. If that comes through, then maybe I can let go one of my two revenue streams. But until then, I’m not letting go of my precious leads.

Portia: Well, we appreciate you showing us this.

Lucy: Of course. Oh, you know, Jax did call me right away and say he wanted to put this property back up, and I thought, I do not want you two to miss out. I couldn’t live with myself.

Portia: We thank you for that. Thank you.

Lucy: You’re welcome. It’s my pleasure. It is amazing. I think that it is a perfect spot to start a family.

Sasha: Surprised?

Brando: Maybe a little. [ Chuckles ]

Sasha: Is this completely crazy?

Brando: Yes, absolutely. I mean, can we even do this? Don’t we need, like, a license?

Sasha: People elope all the time, right? They just hop on a plane to Las Vegas and do it.

Brando: So you want to go to Vegas?

Sasha: Well, actually, we don’t have to. Niagara Falls is right here, and it’s notorious for quickie weddings.

Brando: Okay, so — so you’re not gonna regret rushing this? I mean — I mean, none of our friends will be there. No family.

Sasha: I’m sure we’ll get an earful from them, but that’s fine with me.

Brando: Okay, so just us, then.

Sasha: Good. Because you are my family, Brando. You’re all the family I need.

[ Students murmuring ]

Professor Khan: Alright, alright, everyone, calm down. Clearly, we’re not gonna get anything more done today. So for the next class, we’re taking a detour from the syllabus. The case is Lord vs. Chandler. Look it up. Class dismissed.

Josslyn: Professor Khan, we don’t — we don’t know what to say.

Professor Khan: No, really, you don’t need to say anything. Allow me to apologize.

Cameron: For what?

Professor Khan: One, for not thinking faster and just closing the laptop to stop the video, and for two, losing control of the situation. I am so sorry everyone had to see that. Look, the student, Bryan, the one who chose to share it with the room, he will be disciplined. But, having said that, I would advise you to keep better track of your intimate personal files.

Spencer: You’re not gonna get in trouble.

Trina: Is this a jail-sanctioned field trip? Or did they let you out of Spring Ridge early for good behavior?

Spencer: How would you know whether or not I’ve been well-behaved? It’s not like you’ve visited.

Trina: First of all, your sentence is 30 days.

Spencer: It’s still prison.

Trina: Secondly, and most importantly, do not make this about me. I’m not the one who snuck out of country-club jail so I could tool around some old cemetery.

Spencer: This is where my mother is buried.

Trina: It is?

Spencer: This is her grave, and visiting her on the anniversary of her death isn’t exactly my idea of “tooling around.”

Trina: I didn’t realize that was today.

Spencer: It’s my first time in years visiting her in person. I sent flowers every year that I was at school. Even far away, I could always feel her presence. At least, I thought I could. Not that it’s stopped me from completely screwing up my life.

Trina: At least now you’re making an effort to clean up your act. Jailbreak notwithstanding.

Spencer: I actually am. It’s just that, on this day, of all days, I wanted my mother to know that. So were you ever gonna visit me, or what?

Trina: [ Sighs ] Spencer, I…

[ Vehicle door closes ]

Spencer: Don’t give me up. If anyone finds out that I’m here, they’re gonna send me straight to Pentonville.

Trina: [ Sighs ]

Jordan: Trina.

Carly: Would you like a drink?

Sonny: Uh…

Carly: Sure feels like a Bloody Mary kind of day.

Sonny: No, I’m actually trying not to drink too much these days.

Carly: Oh. Well, that’s good. I’m sure Courtney would be happy about that.

Sonny: You miss her, huh?

Carly: Yeah. I mean, the Metro Court’s named after her. I think about her every day.

Sonny: Yeah. But you know what I mean.

Carly: Yeah, she was my best friend. Best friends are hard to come by these days.

Sonny: Yeah. I know how you feel.

Carly: Do you really?

Sonny: Maybe it was a mistake. I’ll just go ahead and — I’m gonna go ahead and go.

Carly: Maybe it was a mistake, Sonny.

Sonny: No, I was just thinking that, you know, with Courtney, we — something we could share, that connects us together.

Carly: We’re always gonna be connected.

Sonny: Yeah, I know, through the kids.

Carly: Not just the kids.

Sonny: What?

Carly: We — we have a history together. You know, w-we had a life together. I just don’t think Courtney is a good enough reason to seek me out.

Sonny: What are you saying?

Carly: I’m saying it hurts when I see you. So I should see you less.

Brando: You are my family, too. It — it’s just…sudden. That’s all. And we haven’t really discussed marriage. I mean…not in our current circumstances.

Sasha: You were here for such a short time, but you made quite the impact. [ Sniffles ] And you were so, so loved. I have to believe that you have felt that. And I hope with everything in me that you still do. I love you forever, Sweetheart. [ Sobs ]

Sasha: I know that we haven’t discussed marriage specifically, but we were planning a life together, and we know what we mean to each other. Unless… have your feelings about — about me or about us, have they changed?

Brando: N-no, no, of course not. I — I — they’ve only gotten stronger.

Sasha: It’s just that you — you don’t seem 100% sure.

Brando: It’s — it’s more like I feel that I’ve missed an episode. I’m not opposed to us getting married.

Sasha: Good.

Brando: There’s just one thing that I don’t understand. Why now?

Finn: How’d you sleep?

Elizabeth: Thanks. Tossed and turned all night. You? How’s the couch?

Finn: Oh, yeah, we’re old pals by now.

Elizabeth: [ _Int_sYh1f6iX”>Chuckles ]

Finn: Although, it did take a moment for me to turn my head off, though.

Elizabeth: This is gonna sound crazy, but did you feel like you were being watched? ‘Cause I did.

Finn: No, not exactly, but I know what you mean. Um, finding out that Betsy wasn’t behind any of this, it was, uh, unsettling.

Elizabeth: Mm, to say the least.

Finn: Mm. So, I stayed up most of the night trying to work the problem, but, hey, this, um — this trouble sleeping, it’s — it’s been going on a while?

Elizabeth: What gave it away? Circles under my eyes?

Finn: You’re beautiful.

Elizabeth: [ Chuckles ]

Finn: No, I was just, um — I was asking ’cause I thought, have you spoke to your G.P. About maybe taking something?

Elizabeth: I have, and I am. I don’t want to take anything stronger. I just really need to turn my screens off earlier.

Finn: Don’t we all.

Elizabeth: Mm.

Finn: How about the boys? They’re okay?

Elizabeth: They say they are, not that they would tell me if they’re not. They’re all about projecting strength.

Finn: They’re worried about their mom.

Elizabeth: And I’m worried about them, especially Jake. He needs help, and I don’t think he can get it from me.

Trina: Jordan. Commissioner. Hi. My mom told me you were back.

Jordan: Live and in person. Am I interrupting?

Trina: Interrupting?

Jordan: I heard voices. Were you talking to someone?

Trina: Myself. I’m taking voice notes, uh, for a course I’m doing on art and death.

Jordan: Sounds cheerful.

Trina: It is. You’d be surprised. That’s why I’m here. There’s so much more to cemeteries than just death.

Jordan: Mm. Well, things sure are different than when I was in college. They just showed us some slides and called it a day.

[ Both chuckle ]

Trina: So, how have you been doing? All better?

Jordan: And ready to get back to it.

Trina: The bad guys are officially on notice.

Jordan: Damn right.

Trina: Well, I’ll let you get back to it.

Jordan: Trina, are you — are you sure you’re okay?

Trina: Positive.

Jordan: Alright. Well, it’s good to see you.

Spencer: Thanks. I knew I could trust you. That story about being here for school, that was quick thinking.

Trina: I am here for school. Unlike you, my being here’s not a felony. You should try it sometime.

Spencer: Well, Trina, I can’t thank you enough.

Trina: Ugh!

Cameron: What the hell just happened?

Josslyn: How is there a video at all?

Cameron: And how did it get sent to our entire class?

Josslyn: [ Cellphone chiming ] Everyone is texting me. All of my friends. I don’t think it was just this class.

Cameron: Me, too. D-do you think this was sent to the entire school?

Josslyn: Stop. It’s in my e-mail. There’s no message. It’s just the file.

Cameron: Me, too. But I don’t recognize this e-mail. Do you?

Josslyn: Of course not! What do you think?!

Cameron: Why are you yelling at me?

Josslyn: Our entire class just saw us having sex. Our professor saw this. God knows who else.

Cameron: Okay. W– this is freaking me out, too, Josslyn? It’s not like I made the video and sent it out to everyone.

Josslyn: [ Sighs ]

Cameron: Wait. I-is that what you think I did?

Sasha: Why get married now? W-why wait? Huh? I-I mean, I-I know what I want, and that is — that is you. So I-I see no reason why we should wait.

Brando: Okay, look, I-I-I want to marry you more than anything, but, you know, a-a part of me wonders if — if — if you’re asking now because it’s what you truly want or because you might be distracting yourself from something that we’re both missing. Is getting married, is that about us, or is it about Liam?

Finn: Don’t sell yourself short. You are single-handedly raising three amazing young dudes.

Elizabeth: One of whom may be taking a page out of Spencer Cassadine’s playbook.

Finn: What does that mean? Trying to break us up?

Elizabeth: And unnerving the entire family in the process.

Finn: We don’t know it’s Jake.

Elizabeth: But we both think it could be.

Finn: I-I’m just trying to approach this as logically as possible. That way, we can rule Jake out sooner.

Elizabeth: And if it is him, we can put a stop to things before it goes any farther.

Finn: Well, at least we’ve eliminated the most obvious suspect.

Elizabeth: Betsy.

Finn: Mm.

Elizabeth: Jake has been through so much… mm-hmm. …Losing Franco and Jason within the same year, not to mention all the years he spent on Cassadine island.

Finn: Yeah, I know. I mean, his history and his behavior… may lead you to believe he’s involved, but it’s not a given. I mean, it could — it could be someone from Franco’s past. I mean, he wasn’t exactly a saint.

Elizabeth: That’s putting it mildly.

Finn: I’m sure there are some people out there that he — he wronged and are still angry. I mean, it could be someone completely unknown to us.

Elizabeth: Uh, believe it or not, the thought of a complete stranger in my house, messing with my things, setting fire to Franco’s studio, bringing that in here, it’s not comforting.

Finn: Sorry. Sorry. My bedside manner…

Elizabeth: is horrible.

Finn: Yes. People have complained. Lots and lots of complaints. [ Sighs ] We should do something about this.

Elizabeth: Such as? Such as I don’t… how do you feel about a — a road trip, a change of scenery? You know, we go somewhere warm. I mean, there’s good therapists everywhere. Maybe find somewhere by the beach. We take off for a few weeks, you and the boys, me and Violet.

Elizabeth: Finn.

Finn: Huh?

Elizabeth: I can’t go anywhere with you.

Curtis: Great spot.

Portia: It’s stunning.

Lucy: [ Giggles ]

Curtis: I’m just not sure I want to go to a bidding war with Sonny Corinthos.

Lucy: Oh, hey, that can be absolutely avoided. I mean, I have this listing exclusively, and I haven’t even publicized it. And I can tell you for certain that Jax would literally rather sell it to anybody else but Sonny. So clear your heads. I want you to picture a hot summer day. [ Inhales deeply ] Smell that sea air. It’s so wonderful. And picture yourself lolling in a hammock, drinking a lemonade, or perhaps a beverage of your choice, and you’re watching the boats go drifting by. And, oh, my goodness, it sounds so good. I just might buy this place myself.

Curtis: [ Chuckles ]

Lucy: Take your time. Enjoy.

Portia: [ Chuckles ] Well, I’m not really a hammock type of gal, but this is a nice house.

Curtis: Very. It’s a lot of space.

Portia: Isn’t that a good thing?

Curtis: Well, Portia, I mean, there’s only two of us. You sure we need three extra bedrooms?

Portia: Well, I-I mean, we could make an office, maybe a home gym. Trina’s gonna need a room at least for a few more years, right?

Curtis: That’s true. Okay, so then that leaves two extra bedrooms.

Portia: Or just one. Maybe we could leave a room for your father.

Jordan: Hello, mark. How’s my old partner doing? I’m sorry I haven’t visited in so long, but I… I’ll tell you the same thing I told Bob. Never again. I don’t just mean the time between visits. I mean, I promise to do the job we all sworn an oath to do. To protect and serve and uphold the law. I’m back. And the bad guys are on notice.

Sonny: I don’t like being the reason that you’re hurting.

Carly: Well, you’re not the only reason.

Sonny: Well, I mean, there was a time when you didn’t see me at all. Maybe we should go back to that, where I’m, like, dead to you.

Carly: Well, Nina would love that, right?

Sonny: [ Chuckles ] Alright, you know what? Whatever you want, just say the word. I’ll make it happen. If you don’t want me here, I’ll be gone. If, when I pick up Donna or drop her off, you don’t have to be there. When you want to visit Morgan at the cemetery, we’ll pick the dates. I won’t have to, you know — I’ll do whatever you — whatever you want, we’ll do.

Spencer: Trina, I’m sorry that I put you in that position.

Trina: Good luck with life on the lam.

Spencer: I didn’t escape. Okay, it’s kind of — it’s kind of a furlough.

Trina: If this was on the books, then you wouldn’t have pressured me into lying for you. My uncle arranged it, okay, so that I could visit my mother. Have a heart, huh? They never would have let me come out here to see her, not with such a short sentence.

Trina: Exactly. You couldn’t have waited? No. Because you’re a spoiled, rich brat who doesn’t know just how good he’s got it. I couldn’t imagine skipping out on my prison sentence. Doesn’t seem very “rehab” to me. But you do as you please without any regard to the rules or the consequences, because it’s second nature to you. Instinct.

Spencer: I know. Privilege.

Cameron: How could you think that I could do something like that?

Josslyn: I don’t think that, okay? Right now, I can’t think about anything.

Cameron: B-but you’re wondering, aren’t you? That, what, I set up some hidden camera so I could secretly record our first time? Why would I do that?

Josslyn: I don’t know.

Cameron: But I wouldn’t do that. Do you really think that’s who I am?

Josslyn: No, of course I don’t think that.

Cameron: You sure?

Josslyn: Look, I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I made you feel like I doubted you. My brain just froze because someone recorded us without our knowledge in my stepfather’s cabin, none of which should be possible, by the way, and it’s really freaking me out.

Cameron: Okay, everything’s gonna be fine. Do you think that your brother and Nelle could have done it? They used the cabin, right?

Josslyn: No, that was years ago. And Michael? No.

Cameron: What about your stepfather? Could Sonny have some kind of secret camera setup?

[ Bag thuds ]

Josslyn: You going somewhere?

Trina: I never thought I’d see the day — Spencer Cassadine admitting to his own privilege. Well, I guess our previous conversations on this topic have not been totally lost on you.

Spencer: Nothing you say is lost on me. Being my friend must be exhausting.

Trina: That’s one word for it. Unfortunately, every time I think I can give up on you, you do something that shows that you might — might be capable of evolving.

Spencer: Me man. You woman.

Trina: Okay, never do that again. And please do your best not to try my patience. I have friends that aren’t currently on lockdown that are taxing enough.

Esme: Oh, my god, Josslyn, Cameron, I hope you’re both okay.

Josslyn: Oh, I just bet you do.

Esme: I-I was just waiting in the hallway, but I figured you might need some time. But I stuck around to make sure that you knew — both of you — that you have my complete support.

Josslyn: Is that right?

Esme: Of course. I mean, what Bryan did? Playing your video for the entire class? That was heinous. You should complain to the dean, and if you need a witness, I’ll be at the front of the line.

Josslyn: You’re such a giver.

Cameron: The video wasn’t just played back in front of the class. Seems like whoever did it e-mailed a copy of the video to everyone.

Esme: I know. I got one, too. Do you think there’s any way it could be, like, unsent or something? Or is it just out there for good for the whole world to…enjoy?

Josslyn: Oh, there’s only one person enjoying this… the bitch right in front of me.

Esme: [ Scoffs ]

Finn: You’re right, of course. Um, forgive me, there’s no way we should be going anywhere together.

Elizabeth: I just don’t want to create any more upheaval for Jake or Cameron.

Finn: Mm.

Elizabeth: Especially if Jake is the one behind what’s going on.

Finn: Right. Well, until all this gets settled, uh, Violet and I could hunker down here.

Elizabeth: I don’t want to uproot you guys, and Dante to has patrols coming by.

Finn: I’d feel better being here.

Elizabeth: Well, I wouldn’t. Getting close to you has been amazing, and I’m ready to move on from Franco, but I’m not sure my boys are. I think they might need more time. And right now, they need their mom to put them first in her life.

Finn: I understand. That’s kind of been my life with Violet. She needs to be first. I just want to you know I’m okay coming in second.

Elizabeth: That doesn’t work for me, either.

Brando: Did I ruin this? If — if I’m wrong, just say so, please. It — I don’t mean to question you. It was just a thought that I had, and if putting it out there hurt you, I-I will do anything to take it back.

Sasha: I asked. You were honest. You deserve the same from me.

Brando: A $10 chip?

Sasha: My winnings from last night. Not much, right? Well, um, for a long time, not much was what I was used to. Money, people, things — it all came and left. So I got used to going without, not becoming attached to anything because nothing ever lasted long. I came to Port Charles with nothing to my name and zero expectations, and, slowly, that changed. I started to see that maybe things could last. With Nina. With Michael and his family. With deception. And most of all, with you and Liam. I don’t want to live with all that impermanence anymore. Losing our son made me see that… my life has become so full, and I want to hold on to every bit of it so hard. So, yes, asking you to marry me is about Liam, but it’s about you, too, and it’s about us. I want you, Brando. I want all the joy that you bring into my life, and I never want to let you go.

Sonny: However you want it to be, that’s the way it’s gonna be.

Carly: Well, we agreed to be a team for the girls, so, I mean, let’s just see if we can manage that.

Sonny: Yeah, that’s a good first step. So I got to go. I got to — I got to —

Carly: Okay. Jordan.

Sonny: Hey, welcome back.

Jordan: Same to you, Sonny. Carly.

Carly: Hey. You back on the job?

Jordan: I’m getting caught up. I’m sorry to hear about Jason.

Carly: Thank you.

Sonny: Big loss.

Jordan: I know. Cyrus Renault might be walking free today if it hadn’t been for Jason — and you.

Carly: Well, you’re no slouch, either. I’d say it was a team effort.

Jordan: It was. One that came of shared sacrifice. You put yourself on the line, let Cyrus know you were in charge of Sonny’s business while he was… out of the picture.

Sonny: Yeah, well, I’m back, and, uh, Carly’s focused on the hotel.

Jordan: And your focus?

Sonny: Uh, well, the coffee business.

Jordan: Mm.

Sonny: But you know what? We can — we could talk business, if you want. That’s fine.

Carly: I’m gonna go run my hotel business. Leave you to it.

Sonny: As — as I recall, we — we got along much better when we worked together.

Jordan: We did. That was when we had a common enemy. Now Cyrus is out of the picture, and our collaboration is over.

Curtis: Whoa, whoa, whoa. I haven’t even made a bid on the house. You got Marshall moving in with us?

Portia: Well, I was thinking more of, like, maybe a dedicated guest room.

Curtis: [ Exhales sharply ]

Portia: It does seem like you and Marshall are getting along better these days.

Curtis: Yeah, we are, but more in a, you know, “I no longer want to punch a hole in the wall” kind of better. Not, you know, “can you move in our dedicated guest room?” Kind of better. We still got a long way to go. He’s got 40 years to account for.

Portia: And maybe you can manifest some father-and-son bonding, maybe some bonfires on the beach, holiday barbecue now and then.

[ Both chuckle ]

Curtis: You really want this house, don’t you?

Portia: It is a lot of space. But we got a lot of life and a lot of love to fill it with. That’s the way I see it, anyway.

Curtis: So what about you? Tell me. What do you think?

Spencer: You must be referring to Josslyn. That one is always about the drama.

Trina: I am not getting into this with you. You need to get back to Spring Ridge.

Spencer: If we can both keep quiet about running into each other here, neither one of us have to get in trouble for it.

Trina: Unless Jordan doubles back.

Spencer: Yeah. [ Breathes deeply ] I guess I should go back to prison.

Trina: Spencer, be careful. You’re so close to the end of your sentence. And I bet your mom would be the first to say not to mess it up now.

Spencer: I bet you’re right. Besides, I wouldn’t want to miss the party that you’re gonna throw me when I’m released.

Trina: [ Scoffs ] Party? You’ll be lucky if you get so much as a cookie.

Spencer: I like gingersnaps.

Trina: You would.

Spencer: Hey, Trina, you didn’t say if you liked my gift.

Trina: Finish your sentence, and then I’ll give you my review.

Esme: Sorry, I don’t get my jollies from lo-fi amateur porn.

Josslyn: Oh.

Cameron: Maybe not.

Josslyn: But you do get off on sticking it to me and Cameron.

Esme: You’re in a bad place right now, so it’s not surprising that you would take this out on me, but it’s a shame, really, because all I’ve wanted was to be your friend, and from the looks of it, you’re gonna need all the friends you can get.

Cameron: With friends like you…

Josslyn: Who needs pornographers?

Esme: You know, Joss, most people find it hard to rebound when their sex tape goes into wide release online for the world to see, so if you want my support, I will gladly give it to you.

Cameron: Is that why you did this? So that we would want your comfort and support after you completely screwed us over?

Esme: You know what? I tried.

Josslyn: What, to convince us once and for all that you’re a sociopath? Yeah, you succeeded.

Esme: I don’t have to take this abuse.

Josslyn: Oh, I’ll show you abuse.

Esme: How can you be this cruel, Joss?

Josslyn: Because, Esme, you are the one who did this.

Sasha: That was probably a lot for you, and if you need to take a step back and reevaluate, then —

Brando: Done. And to answer your question, yes, I will marry you. Today, tomorrow, in Niagara Falls, in Las Vegas, whenever, wherever you want, I am yours.

[ Both chuckle ]

Sasha: Are we really doing this?

Brando: Not if we don’t get ourselves in gear, get over the border, and into a chapel.

Sasha: You hit the shower. I’ll look for possible venues.

Elizabeth: My kids need my attention right now, my undivided attention.

Finn: No, I-I get it. And me being around, I get it.

Elizabeth: And I’m not gonna ask you to wait for me.

Finn: You don’t have to, ’cause I was probably gonna do that anyway.

Elizabeth: Finn.

Finn: No, I mean, not forever. Maybe just like a 100 years, 200 tops. But then I’m walking.

Elizabeth: [ Chuckles ]

Finn: In case I wasn’t clear, you’re worth waiting for. I’ll see you.

Portia: So, Curtis, what do you think?

Lucy: No, listen to me. You better get home soon, because I cannot wait to gobble your cobbler.

Portia: Oh, hello.

Curtis: You’re back.

Lucy: Uh, indeed, I am. So, do you have any questions?

Curtis: Just one. For Portia. You ready for that boat life?

Portia: Are you kidding me? Are you serious?

Curtis: Let the bidding begin.

Portia: Oh, my God![Chuckles ]

Sonny: I thought we were a good team, especially when I was helping you when Cyrus was blackmailing you.

Jordan: I thanked you for that then…

Sonny: Right.

Jordan: …And I’ll thank you now.

Sonny: But your gratitude is limited?

Jordan: It is. Which is why I’m offering this token of my appreciation. My notice…

Sonny: mm-hmm.

Jordan: …That I consider our slates wiped clean. As far as I’m concerned, the past is just that.

Sonny: What’s the — what’s the future look like to you?

Jordan: We have a chance to move forward.

Sonny: As long as I behave?

Jordan: Hmm.

Sonny: [ Laughs ]

Jordan: Just be a good citizen, Sonny.

Sonny: Alright.

Jordan: That ought to be easier for you now that you’ve sampled a milder life.

Sonny: Well, maybe, you know, now that I’m back in stride, I-I-I’d prefer something a little more… spicy.

Jordan: You do you. And so will I. Just know… whatever happens next, I won’t be looking the other way.

Spencer: Well, mother, the next time you see me, I’ll be a free man. One you can be proud of.

Esme: How dare you blame me for this?

Josslyn: Because you did it.

Esme: Oh, typical Josslyn. Record your first time, share it with the world, and then blame it on me.

Cameron: We didn’t make the video.

Josslyn: You did.

Esme: How? Explain that to me.

Josslyn: How about we start with you constantly trying to push me and Cam into bed?

Esme: Wow. You’re college freshmen. If you need to be pushed into bed, I’d recommend seeing a doctor.

Josslyn: Oh, it was all you could talk about for weeks. You couldn’t have been more obvious.

Cameron: Actually, she could have. She went all in with it at the cabin.

Esme: Why did I have time? You basically forced me and Spence to leave.

Josslyn: Oh, you stayed long enough to piss everyone off with your drinking game.

Esme: Which I have apologized for.

Josslyn: The only reason you apologize to someone is so you can manipulate them again. And again. And again.

Esme: You know, Joss, I’m not sure what’s sadder — that you can’t take responsibility for taping your revolting little spectacle and sending it out to the world…

Cameron: We didn’t even know it existed.

Esme: …Or that you can’t do a halfway decent job of blaming me for it. If you are so hell-bent on blaming someone, don’t look at me. I wasn’t there. Why don’t you ask someone who was?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Orpheus: I didn’t know you were a fan of chick lit.

Clyde: Well, slim pickings in our library, milo. It was either this or the dictionary.

Orpheus: I’ve read it. It got way too many big words in it for you.

Clyde: Oh, you’re such a funny guy. Tell you the truth, I dig this miranda priestly chick. She suffers no fools, that’s for damn sure.

Orpheus: Well, I’ll just have to take a peek at it when you’re done. Unless your new cellmate has got first dibs.

Ej: Belle. You’re a sight for sore eyes.

Belle: Well, good morning. How are you holding up?

Ej: Eh, as well as can be expected considering the dreary surroundings. And I’m hoping against hope that you might have a update on the case that could uplift my spirits. Please tell me you’ve made progress on my appeal.

Belle: As a matter of fact, I have.

Ben: “Insert the seat support tube into the small holes of the backrest tube. Ensure the pushpins are completely pushed in.” What the–what’s a pushpin?

Ciara: You can reassemble a vintage harley, but a baby swing has you stumped?

Ben: [Sighs] Ciara, a vintage harley doesn’t come with ridiculously confusing instructions.

Ciara: Oh.

Ben: But I see you’re feeling better, yeah?

Ciara: Yeah. Yeah, the shower definitely helped. I cannot believe you let me sleep in so late.

Ben: Well, you needed to. You were tossing and turning all night. Did you have a bad dream?

Ciara: Not exactly. I just– I couldn’t stop thinking about what we were talking about last night.

Ben: You mean that johnny dimera might be possessed?

Jake: Johnny. The hell’s going on?

Demon johnny: Well, haven’t you noticed? I’m not johnny dimera.

Jake: I– [Grunts] I don’t understand.

Demon johnny: Let me ask you something, jake. Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

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

[Soft orchestration]

Chad: Okay, gabi. Enough fooling around. Get your feet off my desk.

Gabi: This is my desk in my office. I’ll put my damn feet wherever I want.

Chad: Oh, wow, you are really committed. Okay. All right, you’ve had your fun. Now, uh–now, get out. And, uh, don’t try this again. Stop sweet-talking your way past my security, yeah?

Gabi: Actually, you’re gonna be the one that’s gonna need security clearance.

Chad: The hell are you talking about?

Gabi: You’re looking at the new ceo of dimera.

Chad: [Laughs] Okay.

Gabi: Oh, you don’t believe me, chad? Go ahead, call shin. He will back up every single word I said.

Chad: You’re serious.

Gabi: About the fact that I now am in charge of this company? I am very serious.

Chad: You? The new ceo?

Gabi: I mean, how many different ways can I say it, chad?

Chad: How in the hell did you pull that off?

Jake: Who– [Grunts] What are you?

Demon johnny: You mind? Look, you might be able to put your grubby paws on johnny dimera, but you do not manhandle the almighty. Avoiding triggers, but can’t keep migraine attacks away?

Gabi: You took your eye off the ball, chad. See, while you were with tony gallivanting in the dimera jet searching for your missing wife, I was here.

Chad: Scheming.

Gabi: Ah, seizing the professional moment.

Chad: We found her, by the way. Abigail’s fine. Thanks for asking.

Gabi: Oh, good. Well then it wasn’t a complete loss for you today. See, let’s get back to me. Um, I–I used your glaring absence and ej’s unfortunate incarceration to hold an emergency shareholder meeting, which resulted in me getting the top position and johnny being elected to the board.

Chad: J–johnny? My little nephew is on the board of this company?

Gabi: That’s right. But I wouldn’t call him “little” seeing as he has significant control over dimera.

Chad: Shin cannot be okay with this.

Gabi: Well, he was. In fact, he made the deciding vote.

Chad: What?

Gabi: Yeah, I believe he said that he couldn’t have his company’s leadership abandoning ship, and it’s also time for a change.

Chad: I don’t believe this is happening.

Gabi: It’s a lot to absorb, I know.

Chad: And what about– what about jake? What’s his new position? Is he emperor of the top floor?

Gabi: Jake?

Chad: Jake, my brother, your boyfriend. I assume he’s getting something out of all of this.

Gabi: Oh. Oh, yes, he did. Yes, he– he got his ass handed to him.

Demon johnny: Did you think the devil was gone? A proverbial christmas miracle? Come on. Only losers believe in miracles.

Jake: So you’ve been here, in johnny, for months?

Demon johnny: You’re catching on. I was beginning to think you were a little slow on the uptake. Of course, neither you nor your smoking hot girlfriend are nearly as smart as you think you are. It was so easy convincing her to betray you.

Jake: So you’re the reason–

Demon johnny: She thought you were gonna screw her over? Yeah, guilty as charged, uncle jakey.

Jake: I knew it.

Demon johnny: You know, she already had doubts about you. All I had to do was stroke them. A few parlor tricks, flash of my big sword, I had her in my clutches, and now, I’m gonna get her into my bed.

Ciara: I mean, part of me still thinks it’s crazy. You know, the devil jumping out of marlena and into johnny.

Ben: Ciara, I know, and I don’t even care how crazy it is anymore. We still need to check it out, make sure that johnny’s not a danger to our baby.

Ciara: Yeah. Did–did susan banks call you back yet?

Ben: No. I’ve only been checking my phone every five minutes. I’m thinking it might be time to try her again.

[Knocking on door] Did you order another pizza? You got to stop doing this or– oh, my god–susan. Hey.

Ciara: Hi. Susan. We were literally just talking about you. How did you know that we wanted to see you?

Susan: [Spluttering] ‘Cause your hubby sent me a message, silly.

Ben: I didn’t even tell you what it was about.

Susan: Well, you didn’t have to. See, as soon as I heard your voice in my ear–boom! I had a premonition, and I knew you were talking about someone near and dear to my heart. So I hopped on the first bus here to salem.

Ben: Wait, you knew what I was calling you about?

Susan: Oh, yes, of course. Yeah. My son. My son, elvis.

Ej: So you tracked down the henchman who held sami captive?

Belle: And testified falsely that you paid him to do it, jason smith.

Ej: How did you find him?

Belle: Well, it wasn’t easy. I mean, he basically went off the grid after I implicated you.

Ej: Falsely.

Belle: And I wanted him to admit it.

Ej: Why would he ever do that?

Belle: Well, he wouldn’T. Which is why I tried to trip him up and trick him into telling me who really did it.

Ej: And?

Belle: And no luck. The guy is sticking to his story.

Ej: Then we’re back to square one.

Belle: Well, maybe not. There are other avenues we could explore.

Clyde: You know, it’s funny how life works, isn’t it? Warden decides to give you a new cellmate, turns out to be my old pal, ej dimera.

Orpheus: Pal? Don’t you mean business associate? The two of you ran a drug operation, did you not?

Clyde: Now, where would you come up with an idea like that?

Orpheus: [Laughs] Surely you’ve read the sign in the library, “knowledge is power.” I make it a point to stay in the know.

Clyde: Well, you don’t know squat about me, milo.

Orpheus: Oh, but I do. In fact, I know a great deal. Including that your relationship with ej went south. Isn’t that why you killed him? Okay, this is a freezer, not a time capsule.

Belle: So I’ve been working with the wisconsin state police to try to find the other guy who was guarding sami, that guy, pete, to see if he would contradict jason’s story.

Ej: And?

Belle: And since he was never arrested, finding him has been a challenge.

Ej: [Sighs] In other words, that avenue is closed.

Belle: Yeah, but there are others.

Ej: Such as?

Belle: Such as insufficient evidence.

Ej: Didn’t you try that already?

Belle: Well, I– I tried to get a dismissal based on those grounds. And I probably would have, but you wanted to take the stand.

Ej: You know how much I regret that. If I had to do it over again, I–I–

Belle: Well, you don’t have it to do over again. The fact that remains that the judge made his ruling based on some really biased witnesses. I mean, you have– you have jason, you have lucas, chad, sami. I mean, there is so much room for reasonable doubt.

Ej: Then why not forget searching for the other henchman and just focus on overturning the judge’s ruling?

Belle: Well, because the odds of success there are slim. The jury would have been a lot easier, but someone didn’t want a jury trial.

Ej: [Groans] When I made that ill-fated decision, you told me to shut up, sit down, and let you do your job. And I didn’T. I disregarded your advice at every turn. And yet still here you are.

Belle: I told you I wouldn’t abandon you. I meant that. I know you’re innocent, and soon everyone else will too.

Ej: Thank you, belle. I hope you know how appreciative I am for all of your help.

Belle: Well, let’s get back to the original question. How are you doing in here? Ooh, and how are things with your cellmate?

Ej: You mean with clyde weston?

Clyde: I hate to burst your bubble, milo, but your information is bogus. Ej dimera is alive and kicking.

Orpheus: [Chuckles] Thanks to the wondrous wizardry of dr. Wilhelm rolf. But that night in the park when ej was shot, everyone thought he was dead.

Clyde: But I ain’t the one who plugged him. Some two-bit junkie did that.

Orpheus: That’s what the cops believe. Doesn’t make it true.

Clyde: [Laughs] As god is my witness, I did not shoot ej dimera.

Orpheus: Okay, clyde, maybe you didn’t pull the trigger. Maybe that honor went to your buddy, miguel, is it? But you are certainly responsible for that bullet ending up in ej’s chest.

Ben: You thought we called you about ej?

Susan: Yeah. Of course. He was in my premonition. And I have been thinking about him nonstop since that mean, mean, mean judge sent him to prison for a crime that he did not commit.

Ciara: No. Susan. Susan, I–

Susan: And everyone– everybody knows that my elvis loves his samantha, and they have their issues like all couples do, but I mean, he would never dream of kidnapping her.

Ben: Look, susan, we weren’t calling you about ej.

Susan: Oh. Okay. Well, then, what the heck were you calling me about?

Ciara: Um, his son.

Susan: Johnny? Wha–I mean, what possibly could be wrong with him?

Ben: You know, susan, you might want to brace yourself.

Jake: I–I got to warn gabi.

Demon johnny: Leaving so soon?

Jake: Guess not. Guess I’m dancing with the devil after all.

Chad: Dimera’s in chaos because you and jake got into a fight?

Gabi: It doesn’t matter why it happened. All that matters is that I landed on top.

Chad: No. I’m–I’m– I don’t think so.

Gabi: Excuse me?

Chad: You and jake can go at each other all you want, but this is my family’s company, my children’s legacy, and there’s no way in hell I am gonna let some lover’s quarrel destroy it.

Gabi: Oh. I see. So what exactly are you gonna do?

Chad: I’ll call a meeting.

Gabi: You– [Laughs] You need a majority to remove me.

Chad: Not a problem.

Gabi: Oh, it is though, because you don’t have the votes. Shin wants you out. And now that johnny has a seat on the board, he has ej’s shares as well as his own.

Chad: I–I don’t understand why he would turn on me like that. He wanted to work with me to remove vultures like you from dimera.

Gabi: Looks like you got played by your “little” nephew.

Chad: That little punk isn’t gonna get away with it.

[Loud crash]

[Suspenseful music]

To be a thriver with

metastatic breast cancer

Clyde: You spin a good yarn, orpheus. But I don’t know what you’re talking about. I wasn’t even around when that shooting went down.

Orpheus: But ej was. Tell me, how does he feel about cohabitating with the guy who blew him away? I mean, that must make for some awkward conversations.

Clyde: Hey. Even if I had been there, ej wouldn’t know nothing about it. He doesn’t remember a damn thing about that evening.

Orpheus: That’s a hell of a thing to forget.

Clyde: Well, one of the pesky side effects of rolf’s miracle drug. Yeah, it’ll get you back to the land of the living, but does a real number on the old memory bank.

Orpheus: Yep, yep. But as I understand it, in time, the memories come back. So clyde, what you gonna do when ej remembers that you double-crossed him and left him to die?

Belle: Clyde weston is your cellmate?

Ej: Mm-hmm.

Belle: I mean, whoa, that is surprising. How’s it going?

Ej: So far, so good.

Belle: I thought–I– I just wouldn’t have thought that you two would hit it off.

Ej: Actually, we’re already acquainted.

Belle: How? Ej, you’re a lawyer. You know anything you say to me is confidential.

Ej: Clyde and I used to be in business together.

Belle: Mm. And I assume this business wasn’t exactly legit.

Ej: That would be a smart assumption.

Belle: I don’t know, maybe– maybe we should put in a request for a different cellmate. You know, I–I just don’t want this association you have with clyde weston to jeopardize your appeal.

Ej: Ancient history. I actually think he could be quite helpful.

Belle: How so?

Ej: He’s been in here a long time. Knows the place quite well. He told me he’d show me the ropes.

Belle: And you think you can rely on–on clyde weston?

Ej: Don’t get me wrong, I don’t trust the man in the slightest. But if I’m going to survive in here, I need someone to have my back. Is clyde weston my first choice? God, no. But right now, he’s the only choice I’ve got.

Susan: So you think the devil is hanging his hat in my sweet, little grandson, johnny, huh?

Ciara: Look, we know it sounds crazy–

Susan: Ah! I don’t like that word. It’s very judgy and it–it’s unkind.

Ciara: You’re right. I’m sorry.

Susan: [Sighs] So johnny possessed. Now, wh–what makes you think a thing like that?

Ben: Well, thers just been some strange occurrences recently.

Susan: Okay, well, like what?

Ciara: Well, like my grandma gave us a housewarming gift to hang outside of the apartment, a nice little cross.

Susan: Oh. Well, what’s so strange about that?

Ciara: Well, on her way to deliver it to us, her stove randomly burst into flames even though the thing wasn’t even on.

Ben: And while this mysterious fire just erupted, johnny happened to have been there, so he volunteered to bring the cross to us. And he did. He dropped it off, we hung it up, and this thing keeps flipping upside down.

Ciara: Mm-hmm. Every single time. And my grandma thought that it is a sign that the devil is back in town. And we know that the devil can jump from one body to another.

Ben: Right, and we also know that the only way for that to happen is that person that he did jump into would have to have been present at the exorcism, which your grandson, johnny, was.

Susan: You think that beelzebub boomeranged out of dr. Marlena evans and into my sweet, little grandson, johnny? And then he used the cross to leave his mark?

Ciara: Yeah, well, that’s why we wanted to talk to you, because you had the premonition that the devil was after my baby in the first place. You had the premonition that marlena was possessed by the devil.

Ben: And we were just wondering if maybe you had sensed anything about johnny.

Susan: Well, I was at the dimera mansion after the exorcism. And believe you me, if I even had the teensiest, weensiest feeling that old scratch had invaded my sweet, little grandson, johnny, I would have never left town.

Ciara: [Sighs] Yeah.

Ben: We knew it was gonna be a long shot.

Ciara: Yeah. Yeah, look, I’m sorry, susan. I’m sorry, we let our imaginations run wild. Clearly we were wrong about the devil being back in salem.

Susan: Uh, not necessarily.

Gabi: What the hell was that?

Chad: You’re the new ceo. You figure it out.

[Ominous music]

Gabi: What happened? J–johnny, I thought you said you were calling security.

Johnny: I didn’t have to. Jake left voluntarily. I mean, at least I thought he did. I thought he was gonna be a grown-up about all this, then he stormed back in here and attacked me.

Gabi: Jake. Jake, are you okay?

Johnny: The guy was acting like a complete psycho. I–I had no choice. I had to defend myself.

Gabi: Jake, jake, jake. Can you hear me? Jake.

Jake: [Groans] Gabi.

Gabi: [Sighs] Jake. What the hell were you thinking?

Jake: [Grunting] Johnny.

[Groans] He’s– he’s–

[Winces] We hit the bike trails every weekend

Susan: So after the exorcism, I had a premonition that the devil was still here in salem. And I thought that he just ducked right back into dr. Marlena evans. So I went over to her place, and I sprayed her full of holy water. I did it all over. And I tried to banish that demon, once and for all.

Ciara: But the demon wasn’t inside her.

Susan: No, no, no. She–she assured me that she was 100% her. So I just thought that my– my devil-detector was on fritz.

Ben: Huh. And you didn’t get any bad vibes about johnny?

Susan: No. No, not one. And I–and I mean, I saw him before I left town. But–

Ben: But what?

Susan: The night of johnny’s engagement party…

Ben: Yeah.

Susan: I got sick. I got sick, and I went to the hospital. I just knew that something was not right. I mean, I–I couldn’t shake this feeling, this feeling that–that– that there was this evil force behind it all.

Ciara: The devil.

Susan: Yes. And I just didn’t– I didn’t think that he was done with us yet. Huh. But johnny possessed, huh? I just can’t believe I just stood right in front of him, my kin, my flesh and blood, and I just didn’t have a clue.

Jake: He’s– [Groans]

Gabi: He’s–he’s what?

Jake: Johnny’s–

[Groans] Damn it. He’s a creep… who tricked you into stabbing me in the back.

[Eerie music]

Gabi: What happened? J–johnny, I thought you said you were calling security.

Johnny: Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.

Belle: Oh. Our time’s almost up. Is there anything else you need?

Ej: Just find a way to get me out of this hellhole.

Belle: Well, I’m on it. My next angle is chad.

Ej: [Laughs] Don’t waste your time.

Belle: Why? Why do you say that?

Ej: The last time I saw my brother, he called me a criminal, a sociopath, and told me he hopes I’ll stay locked up forever.

Belle: Well, he was out of his mind with worry. And good news, abigail is home. She’s safe and sound.

Ej: Wonderful. I’m sure chad’s state of mind is much better. But not good enough that he’d help me.

Belle: Well, that’s exactly what he was going to do before he had that coughing fit on the witness stand.

Ej: Mm-hmm. And then he did the opposite.

Belle: Because he thought you tried to force yourself on his wife.

Ej: Which I assure you, I did not.

Belle: Okay. My point is, whatever did or did not happen, chad led me to believe that we’d be pleased with his testimony, which means he knows something. Something that we haven’t heard yet that could exonerate you.

Ej: And you think you can get that out of him?

Belle: Well, I’m sure gonna try. Chad is the one who found the payments that link you to sami’s kidnapper. And if I can get him to admit that he planted those or–or he knows who did, that’s gonna go a long way to proving your innocence.

Ej: While I admire your tenacity, I seriously doubt that my brother, who hates me more now than he did before I was arrested, is going to volunteer any new information.

Belle: I am gonna get you out of here. That’s a promise.

Ej: I can’t tell you how grateful I am to have you in my corner.

Belle: Well, hopefully, this will all be over soon. In the meantime, chin up.

[Dramatic music]

Orpheus: You’re up for parole soon, correct?

Clyde: Yeah. I finally got a new hearing. And with any luck, I’m about to blow this popsicle stand.

Orpheus: Unless those nasty memories come back to ej and leave you in a body bag.

Clyde: No, that ain’t gonna happen.

Orpheus: Well, there’s also the possibility that someone could present the parole bar with evidence that links you to a new crime.

Clyde: That would certainly throw a wrench into the works.

Orpheus: Yeah. Yeah, it would. But you sort of got it coming, don’t you?

Clyde: Hey, man, I get it. You hold a grudge against me for stabbing you, I know. But like I told you before, I did that for my son. Ollie was looking for his wife. I was just helping him.

Orpheus: My son did try to kill ben, so I suppose that makes us even. Besides, if you do get a parole, might be useful to have a– a friend on the outside.

Clyde: [Laughs] Yeah. I always say, one hand washes the other.

Orpheus: Hm. So we’ve established that it’s in both of our best interest that ej never remember what you did to him. Because if he does, we’ll both suffer the consequences.

Ej: What consequences are those?

[Dramatic music]

(Vo) at dog chow

Chad: Come in.

Belle: Thanks for agreeing to see me.

Chad: What can I do for you?

Belle: Well, I just came from statesville, and I want to talk to you about your brother’s appeal.

[Tense music]

Clyde: Ha, what a coincidence. I was just telling my friend here about my new cellmate.

Orpheus: And I was just telling clyde how fortunate he is. My cellmate can’t seem to figure out a way to hide his contraband. Keeps getting us both put on lockdown.

Ej: I see, those consequences.

Clyde: Ej dimera, meet milo harp.

Orpheus: You can call me orpheus. It’s a pleasure.

Ej: Same.

Orpheus: Well, I’m sure glad to see you boys are getting along.

[Tense music]

Susan: [Grunting] I can’t believe the devil has possessed my poor grandson.

Ciara: Well, no, susan, we don’t know that for sure.

Ben: I mean, this entire thing could be a series of bizarre coincidences.

Susan: Oh, you are being so kind to me, ben weston. But you know what, I cannot bury my head in the sand. See, if my johnny is going toe-to-toe with that devil, then he’s gonna need help from his grandmama. Yep, so I need to get there right away.

Ben: All right, well, I’m gonna go with you.

Susan: Oh, oh, oh. No. No. No. I really appreciate it, benny. But you know what, if you show up with me, then that might tip lucifer off that we’re on to him.

Ciara: Yeah, but susan, I really think that we–

Susan: And you know what?

Ciara: Yeah.

Susan: If the devil is in the dimera mansion, then I am the one who’s going to find out, sooner rather than later. Okay, here I go.

Ciara: Okay.

Susan: Hoo! [Sighs]

Ciara: All right.

[Dramatic music]

Gabi: What happened in here?

Jake: I don’t know. It’s all a little fuzzy.

Gabi: Johnny says you attacked him.

Jake: That’s a lie, just like everything else he’s been telling you.

Gabi: Just stop.

Jake: I–gabi, I– he’s playing you. He got you to believe that I’m doing all this stuff that I didn’t do.

Gabi: Like telling maggie that you’d be fine if I didn’t get the top position at titan. Huh? As long as you got what you wanted, you’d be fine handling me.

Jake: I never said that.

Gabi: I was there. I heard you say you were just using me.

Jake: That’s impossible!

Gabi: And the signature on the petition to steal my late husband’s shares from me. Huh? How do you explain that?

Jake: I don’t know, I can’T. Okay? At least not yet. But I know that little weasel was behind it.

Johnny: Come on, do we really have to listen to this again? I mean, at this point it’s– it’s just pathetic.

Jake: Gabi and I are talking here, pal.

Johnny: And clearly, she’s not interested in anything you have to say.

Jake: You want to let the lady speak for herself.

Johnny: Or what? You gonna go all hulk on me again?

Gabi: Johnny, would you just let me and jake speak alone, please?

Johnny: You sure you’re gonna be okay?

Gabi: I’ll be fine.

Johnny: Okay.

Jake: You happy now? You got everything you want? Ceo at dimera.

Gabi: That’s right.

Jake: So what? Obviously, you don’t need me anymore, right?

Gabi: Obviously.

Jake: I guess we break up now, that’s it?

Gabi: You know what, spare me the act, please. Don’t pretend. This is your fault.

Jake: The–gabi.

[Groans]

[Tense music]

Is it cool if I go by the house, pick up my stuff?

Gabi: Maybe you should get yourself checked out first–

Jake: I’m fine, I’m fine.

Gabi: Adios, then.

Jake: I love you, gabi. I don’t understand why you’re doing this.

Gabi: That makes two of us. If you want to get your stuff, now would be a good time because no one’s there.

Jake: You know, a few weeks ago, we were on top of the world, you and me. Partners in life, in business. We had our whole bright future ahead of us. And now… I don’t know how this could have happened.

[Dramatic music]

Clyde: So how’d it go with your lawyer?

Ej: Unfortunately, she had nothing new to report.

Clyde: Well, one thing I’ve learned in here, good things come to those who wait.

Ej: Patience was never my strong suit.

Clyde: Well, it ain’t so bad, you know. We got a roof over our heads, three squares a day. Hey. Take my advice. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this nice, cushy lifestyle.

Ej: What did you just say?

Clyde: [Laughs] I said, enjoy this nice, cushy lifestyle. You got the fancy accent, a mistress on the side and a nice, cushy lifestyle handed to you on a platter. Hey. You all right?

Ej: Yes. I was just thinking.

Chad: So you came all the way over here to talk about ej?

Belle: Yeah. Why? What’d you think I came over here to talk to you about?

Chad: Well, I assumed since you’re the company’s general counsel, you’d heard the news.

Belle: What news?

Chad: That scheming bitch ousted me from dimera.

[Pensive music]

Jake: See, we don’t have to share power. You know why? As soon as we take over both companies, you’ll run titan, I’ll run dimera.

Gabi: I like the sound of that.

Jake: Right? We’ll work on it first thing in the morning, but in the meantime, why don’t we work on a little merger of our own?

[Dramatic music]

Ciara: [Laughs]

Ben: [Huffs]

Ciara: All right. I am going to head to the hospital to pick up some more prenatal vitamins.

Ben: I’m going with you.

Ciara: Uh-uh. No, no, no. You are staying right here until you finish that swing.

Ben: Babe.

Ciara: Nice try, baby. Love you.

Ben: [Huffs] Love you too.

Ciara: Good luck.

Ben: Thanks.

Ciara: Oh. Hi, jake. Bye, jake.

Jake: Oh.

Ben: Jake.

Jake: Yo.

Ben: My man. What’s going on?

Jake: [Sighs]

Ben: Ooh. You do not look good.

Jake: Yeah, well, after the day I had, it’s not much of a surprise.

Ben: Oh, my god, guy. What happened?

Jake: Gabi double-crossed me. And, uh, yeah, left herself as head of dimera and me out in the cold.

Ben: What the hell happened?

Jake: I’m still trying to figure that out. What I do know is that snake, johnny dimera, got it in her head that I was the one who betrayed her. I just don’t know how he did it.

Ben: Well, I’ll tell you what, man, I can think of one possibility.

[Exciting music]

Susan: Knock, knock.

Johnny: Ah, grandma. Wh–what are you doing here?

Susan: [Clears throat] I’m here to see if you really are my grandson.

Ridge: Son, whatever it is, you can talk to me.

Thomas: It’s nothing,

Ridge: It’s nothing? It’s not nothing, you just said it was something. Something surprising. Talk to now, you just pause, and you have nothing to say. What is it? Are you hiding something?

Taylor: Sheila, I have a few minutes, if you’d like to sit down.

Sheila: Yeah. I just– I don’t know why we’re all so surprised that brooke is finally showing her true colors, showing us who she truly is. I know that… you have way too much class to laugh at her misery, but you got to feel a little good seeing her lose.

Taylor: No, I don’T. Sheila, nothing feels good about that. She’s not well.

Sheila: You shouldn’t worry about brooke.

Taylor: Well, despite our differences. You know, I’m– I’m concerned about her, you know? Something triggered her that night and spiraled her out of control.

Zende: So what do you think?

Paris: It’s, uh, wow, it’s– it’s gorgeous. What did hope say?

Zende: I haven’t shown it to her yet. I wanted to run it by you first.

Paris: Me? You’re the super talented, successful designer.

Zende: And you are my muse. You inspired this design, paris.

Paris: Oh, wow, I, I don’t know what to say.

Zende: There’s nothing to say. When you’re a designer, you’re always looking for inspiration. When it hits, you just have to run with it.

Paris: Well, I’m sure it hits with all of the beautiful models fighting after your attention, like sequoyah. Are you going out with her tonight?

Zende: Would it bother you if I did?

Carter: Oh, I didn’t realize you guys were in here. Just need to pick up a file, I’ll be out of your way in a second.

Zende: No, no, actually stay, you just came in at the right time. I was just asking paris if it would bother her if I went out with sequoyah again. She hasn’t answered yet, but I think it’s pretty obvious.

Carter: I think whatever this is, it’s between you two.

Zende: Oh come on, carter. You know paris as well as I do. Well, almost.

Carter: I just don’t think I should be in the middle of this.

Zende: You are in the middle of this. You’re a friend, and i need your help. Lately, I feel like whenever I’m trying to talk to paris, what I mean to say, it’s just– it’s not coming out right. Maybe your being here can help with that.

Paris: Zende, what– what’s going on?

Zende: I asked earlier if me seeing sequoyah again bothers you, but I already know it doesn’T. Now, I don’t mean to judge. I just mean that you’re the one who said you wanted to keep things loose and free, and I agreed. But I guess I’m still just getting used to things being casual. And I guess you are too.

Paris: Yeah.

Zende: I do have one more question, though. Are you seeing anyone else?

Sheila: You’re finally getting what you want. Don’t worry about brooke. She’s going to meetings, she’s got the support of her family. She’s going to be fine. Just go on.

Taylor: Listen, sheila, like I said, she, she’s sick. She– she needs help. For a lot of things, but, you know, ridge, ridge is determined to figure out what happened. He really is. He wants answers. She was successfully sober for a very long time. Then all of a sudden, boom, she got triggered and something set her off.

Sheila: Well, it’s like I said before, who knows what happened, I mean, brooke doesn’t know, and she probably never will.

Ridge: Son, please, what’s going on? Your mom and I are concerned about you.

Thomas: Don’t be. I’ve been waiting for this for a really long time. Seeing you guys together, happy. And I know how much this means to mom. And– and I hope it means the same to you. And I know that you care about mom but–

Ridge: But– but you want to be protective. I get it and I appreciate it. And you’re right, there’s a lot of things to figure out. And not just taylor and me, but with the whole family. There’s things we got to talk about, but you got to know that I’m so happy that she’s here. She’s been my rock through all this with brooke. She listens to me and I’M… I’m grateful she’s in my life. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Zende: I know it’s really none of my business if you’re seeing someone. And the only reason you know about sequoyah is because we work in the same building.

Paris: Yeah.

Zende: I still would have told you, though. Would you have asked me if I was seeing anyone?

Paris: I– I don’t know, I wouldn’t want to make you feel like I was putting you on the spot.

Zende: Is that what you feel like I’m doing? Paris, it was not my intention to make you feel uncomfortable or put you on the spot, or whatever.

Paris: Zende, I know that.

Zende: What I’m trying to say with all of this is that… I still care about you, paris. I haven’t forgotten about you. And I hope you haven’t forgotten about me.

Carter: Look, I– I really shouldn’t be part of this, and it’s clear that you both still have a lot to talk about, so I’m going to head home.

Zende: No, no, carter, wait, hold on. I’m sorry. That was a little inappropriate to bring up with both of you here, but I really appreciate you hearing me out and I appreciate your friendship.

Sheila: So you think if you can pinpoint brooke’s trigger, it’ll help her with her recovery?

Taylor: Possibly. Yeah, I– I think everyone has unhealed trauma and we all deal with it different. But if we could find brooke’s core wound, I think it would help her tremendously in breaking the cycle.

Sheila: Why are we talking about brooke? We should be discussing you and ridge. I mean, it is so great that you two are finally coming back together after all this time.

Taylor: Sheila, I– I know that you, um, you’ve put a lot of energy into trying to gain my trust, but… considering our history, I, I don’t feel comfortable with this.

Sheila: I apologize.

Taylor: No, please don’T. I just wanted to set a boundary.

Sheila: And I understand I need to earn your trust, taylor, and I’m hoping that one day we will be closer. Who ever would have thought that a year ago we’d be spending christmas eve together. I really do appreciate you extending that olive branch. And you’re a good person, taylor, you deserve the very best.

Taylor: Thank you. That’s very kind.

Sheila: No, it’s true. You deserve to win. And I know that I’m not supposed to talk about this, but I’m really happy that you and ridge are working your way back to one another. You coming to los angeles, reuniting with ridge. Yeah. That’s exactly the way that I would have orchestrated it.

Ridge: I got to ask you something.

Thomas: Yeah.

Ridge: Do you doubt how much I care for your mom?

Thomas: No, no, I don’T.

Ridge: Good.

Thomas: Yeah, I just, um… I just hope things are going to be different. Look, every time that brooke does something, she’ll do something terrible, she’ll hurt you, and then you always forgive her. Look, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t even be bringing this up–

Ridge: No, no, no, no, no, no. You’re absolutely right. It’s always been like that. Brooke and I were together and then somebody screws up and we find our way back to each other, we forgive and, and it’s been like that your whole life. I know that. But thomas, I promise you, I thought this time was going to be different, this whole thing with bill. And we worked through it, and I thought we were going to be stronger for it. And then deacon shows up. She makes out with him and she sleeps with him in our bed and she defends him. So whoever I thought brooke was, whoever I thought she could be, I– she’s not.

Thomas: You were even willing to forgive her, and she let you down.

Ridge: Why is that? Why, we were good, we were in a good place. Yeah, hope and deacon, they were a problem, but not– we had it covered, we were, we were fine. And I know she was drinking. I get it. She took full responsibility for everything. But you know what, that doesn’T… it doesn’t let her off the hook. She’S… she’s not blameless. Homegrown tomatoes…nice.

Sequoyah: It’s beautiful, as always.

Zende: Thank you, but everything looks beautiful on you.

Sequoyah: Do you have any plans tonight?

Zende: I am not sure what my evening looks like, I have all these deadlines that are starting to stack up. I may have to pull an all nighter.

Sequoyah: All work and no–

Zende: I know, maybe I’ll be able to finish all of it. I’ll let you know. Dr. Buckingham, hey.

Grace: Hello, zende. And remember, please call me grace. I hope I’m not interrupting.

Zende: No, no, not at all. We were just finishing up.

Sequoyah: Grace, how’re you?

Grace: I’m good.

Sequoyah: Well, I’ll get going, then. Hopefully I’ll see you later.

Grace: That’s interesting.

Zende: What is?

Grace: Turning down an evening with a very beautiful woman who’s into you?

Zende: You overheard?

Grace: I did, and I’m sure I’m overstepping, so I apologize in advance. But are deadlines the real reason why you didn’t want to go out with that model tonight or is it because you rather be with paris?

Carter: Are you serious? You didn’t send the file? How many times do I gotta tell this guy? I didn’t tell him. You need to wake up, man, you need to wake up.

[ Knocking on door ]

Paris: Carter, it’s me. I just had to see you.

Sheila: You wouldn’t do it, thomas, you wouldn’t destroy everything that’s so important to you.

[ Knocking on door ] I’m busy.

Thomas: It’s me.

Sheila: Did you tell ridge? Did you tell him what I did to brooke?

Ridge: Hey.

Taylor: Hey, ridge.

Ridge: I’m sorry to just barge in, but I had to tell you what I just learned. We’re eating and drinking foods and beverages

Carter: This is dangerous. Paris, you coming here like this?

Paris: I know, but I just had to see you.

Carter: I figured you’d still be talking to zende.

Paris: You heard him. He is still seeing sequoyah, keeping things casual.

Carter: But it doesn’t change the way he feels about you.

Paris: Carter, I can’t stop thinking about you, and I get the sense that you can’t stop thinking about me either.

Carter: Paris.

Paris: Stop… talking.

Taylor: Okay, so, so what did you learn? Is it about thomas?

Ridge: He finally opened up to me.

Taylor: Okay, what? He told you what was going on?

Ridge: He did.

Taylor: Is it bad? Is it okay? What did he say?

Ridge: It’s fine. It’s all right. I don’t even know where to start.

Taylor: Oh my god.

Ridge: No, no, no. It’s okay. He told me… he told me he is so happy that you’re back and that we’re spending time together.

Taylor: That’s– that’s– that’s the big news?

Ridge: Yeah, I need an excuse to see you. Taylor: Okay. You need an excuse to work me up, too, because you’re a master at that.

Ridge: Thank you.

Taylor: You never… need an excuse to see me.

Ridge: No?

Taylor: Na uh.

Sheila: Did you tell your father?

Thomas: No.

Sheila: Oh wow, finally someone with a brain. You don’t look at me that way. It’s because of me your mom and dad have a chance to be together again.

Thomas: But at what expense? Ruining brooke’s life?

Sheila: Oh, you’re worried about her?

Thomas: You drove her to drink. All right, I’m not fond of brooke, but you’re playing with her sobriety.

Sheila: Yeah, but you know what? She’s betrayed your father on numerous occasions. It was only a matter of time before it happened to–

Thomas: You got her drunk.

Sheila: I did. But I didn’t make her kiss deacon. Or press her body against his or put him in her bed and let him lay his head on your father’s pillow. I certainly didn’t try to get her to lie to cover the truth. Give me a break here, okay? I’ve given you all a gift. You, steffy, your mother and father. You have a real shot at finally being a family again. You’re welcome.

Thomas: This is wrong.

Sheila: Is it? Why can’t your mom win, just this once? You know, you did the right thing by not telling your father what happened to brooke that night. So you just keep using your head. You keep quiet. And watch your parents… get the chance they deserve. If you want your parents to have their happily ever after, then be smart. Don’t breathe a word of this to anyone. You need to keep this secret forever.

Taylor: Well, you left early. Did you sleep well?

Ridge: I slept great, the mattress in the guest house is amazing.

Taylor: Are you trying to make me jealous, because the mattress in the guest room, not so much.

Ridge: Really? Well, if you ever want to switch it up, I take bribes.

Taylor: No, no, I like sleeping in the main house. It’s close to the grandchildren– oh my gosh. Is this yours? It’s beautiful.

Ridge: I wish. This is thomas’ latest, pretty cool, right?

Taylor: Really? Oh, my– well, you taught him, well.

Ridge: Thank you.

Taylor: Yeah. Speaking of thomas, did you talk to him, did you find out what he was talking about?

Ridge: No, I haven’t talked to him since we were here. Um, yes, I know it’S… curious.

Taylor: Yeah, but he said he had a meeting. You’re the co-ceo, so you should know about his meetings.

Ridge: Uh, not if it’s a meeting for, I don’t know, maybe he’s trying to find a new house. Let’s not worry about it.

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: Until we have to worry about it.

Sheila: What are you doing here? How did you find me?

Thomas: Doesn’t matter. We need to talk.

Sheila: I think I made it perfectly clear I– I am not going to say anything–

Thomas: Sheila, I’ve got questions. And if you hadn’t ran out yesterday when steffy got home then I would’ve asked you–

Sheila: You didn’t say anything to steffy, did you? I swear to god, if you told anyone about what we spoke of–

Thomas: Sheila. Are you responsible for getting brooke to drink?

Sheila: I wasn’t going to say anything to you about any of that, but the way that you were talking to me, telling me that– that I wasn’t welcome at steffy’s and that I needed to stay away from steffy and finn? From hayes?

Thomas: Yes. But what? Were we supposed to just, like, roll out the welcome mat for you because you got brooke to drink?

Sheila: Your parents are getting back together again, aren’t they? Ridge has finally realized that his life would be so much better with taylor. So, yes, I do think I deserve a little respect here. Because none of that would be happening if I hadn’t put things in motion.

Thomas: You got an alcoholic to drink. Real respectable.

Sheila: It’s a beautiful thing. Bad things happen to bad people. Brooke had it coming. That bitch deserved every last drop.

[ Brooke sighs ]

Ridge: You chose deacon

over me.

Brooke: No. No,

I didn’t do that. No.

Ridge: I told you,

he was going to put a wedge

between–I told you he was

going to ruin everything.

And you invited him

into our house.

Into our bed, logan,

into our bed.

It’s gone,

there’s nothing sacred.

I can’t do this anymore.

Deacon: Brooke? Are you okay?

Brooke: You shouldn’t be here, deacon.

Deacon: I’m thinking I’m exactly where I need to be.

Ridge: I know I said not to worry about thomas, but now I keep thinking about this being surprised by something. What does that mean?

Taylor: I don’t know. You sure it wasn’t like a happy surprise?

Ridge: It didn’t sound like it on the phone. But you know what? Whatever it is… I’m sure he’ll tell us when he’s ready. Right?

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: Yeah.

Thomas: I don’t understand. You weren’t there, were you?

Sheila: I was nowhere near.

Thomas: Then you couldn’t have had anything to do with brooke drinking. You’re making it up.

Sheila: No, I’m not. I get full credit for her slipping off of the wagon. While you guys all sat around wringing your hands, lamenting over brooke’s position in your life? You know, I took action. Your parents have another chance together because of me. So stop your threats and stop telling me that I don’t belong. It might do you good to adjust your attitude and be a little more thankful that I’m around. I’m the kind of person you want working for you, thomas. Not against. Just ask brooke.

I may have moderate to

severe rheumatoid arthritis.

Sheila: This is our little secret, right? What I did to brooke? You know your father, and if he thinks that brooke was the victim, he’s going to run right back to her. Do you really want to put your mother through that kind of pain?

Thomas: Tell me how you did it. How did you get brooke to drink?

Sheila: No, no the less you know, the better. You need to stay innocent in all of this, all right? There was a problem, her name was brooke, and I took care of it. You know… a lot of what I did, I did because of you… because of your family, what I– what I did to you when you were young, taking your mother away from you and letting brooke just move right in. She’s threason ur parents hav en apart allse yrs. Thanks to me, brooke is going to be permanently out of the picture. Unless you open a door for him to go back to her. And I know you don’t want that to happen. I know you want to see your parents reunited. You just think of the future your parents could have, together, the future… that you can give them, if you just keep silent. Do you understand? Not a word of my involvement. Not a word to anyone.

Deacon: I know you must feel like you’re alone right now, but you’re not. I’m here.

Brooke: Thank you.

Deacon: It’s just hard to believe that he would take off like that. Just because you dared to tell him that I didn’t do anything to you.

Brooke: That was just the breaking point.

Deacon: I can only imagine how painful this is. It’s got to be hurtful having him go back to taylor and his family that he has with her.

Brooke: Yeah, yeah, that’s very hurtful. But it’s also understandable. I mean, he told me over and over again about his concerns about you, his feelings. And I didn’t listen. So I can understand why he reacted the way he did. Why he left me alone like this.

Deacon: Hey. You’re not alone. Not as long as I’m here.

Ridge: That’s it. One vanilla one caramel, but the caramel one you– yes, it’s a little complicated,

Taylor: It’s not complicated.

Ridge: It’s almond milk, very hot, and light on the syrup, just two pumps of that and that’s it. And make sure there’s a sleeve on the cup so it doesn’t get too hot. I know. Believe me. Thank you. Okay, thanks.

[ Sighs ]

Taylor: Very good. How do you remember that after all these years?

Ridge: I don’t know. I forget things, names, phone numbers, birthdays, but your latte order, it’s– it’s stuck. And if you want the pizza, I got that covered too.

Taylor: Yeah, that’s right extra–

Ridge: Extra– no.

Taylor: No.

Ridge: Extra sauce, easy on the cheese.

Taylor: You remember better than I do.

Thomas: Did someone say pizza? Because you can count me in.

Ridge: Hey, son.

Taylor: Hi.

Thomas: It’s good to see you both. Like, you’re so relaxed, it has been such a long time since you’ve been happy and laughing.

Ridge: Well, your mother definitely lifted my spirits. New densify from crest pro-health.

Brooke: You know, I really do appreciate your support. I do. You have to know that. It’s just– can I ask you for a favor?

Deacon: Anything.

Brooke: When you’re criticizing ridge, it doesn’t really feel like support. And it doesn’t feel great, either, when you talk about ridge going to taylor’s, so. I need to own this. I need to take responsibility. And I’m the one who opened that bottle. I’m the one who started drinking, who insisted that you drink with me. And we kissed and I lied about it. Well, I just didn’t tell ridge about it, but that’s the same as lying, right? So once again, I let ridge down.

Deacon: I just wish you wouldn’t do this, I wish you wouldn’t– put all the blame on yourself.

Brooke: What– who else is there to blame? I married ridge, I took vows. I made a commitment to him to be faithful. What do I do? The second he leaves town, I’m opening the bottle and drinking and kissing and– kissing a man that he despises.

Deacon: Okay, just listen to me. It’s totally okay to take responsibility for that, but, you know, ridge can take a little responsibility himself he doesn’t have to act the way that he is, flying off the handle at me every time, or worse? Deciding that the grass is greener with taylor.

Brooke: Maybe it is.

Deacon: What?

Brooke: I don’t know. Maybe it could be.

Deacon: Why would you say that?

Brooke: I’ve been talking to hope about this. And maybe thomas and steffy are right. Maybe I will never be able to break this pattern, this behavior of mine. So, yeah, maybe taylor is a better woman for ridge.

Ridge: Well.

Taylor: Give that intern a raise because she knows how to place an order.

Ridge: Noted. Mm, should’ve gotten you some coffee, but I didn’t know when you were coming in.

Thomas: All good.

Taylor: Are you going to ask him?

Ridge: Oh–

Thomas: Ask me what?

Ridge: Uh, you were on the phone yesterday talking about a meeting.

Taylor: Yeah, you– you told your father something, something surprised you, something surprising.

[ Phone beeps ]

Taylor: Oh, shoot.

Ridge: What’s the matter?

Taylor: Well, it’s– it’s a patient that I’m worried about. I need to get back to the office. Well, unless there’s something there that you want to talk to us about. Something you want to tell us?

Thomas: No, no, no. Not yet, anyway.

Taylor: Okay. Okay. I love you.

Thomas: I love you too.

Taylor: All right. Thanks for the coffee.

Ridge: Any time.

[ Ridge sighs ]

Thomas: Have you ever smiled this much?

Ridge: Yeah, maybe it’s been a while. A long while.

Thomas: Looks good on you. I hope it stays that way. I’m steve, I lost 138 pounds in nine months on golo

Deacon: No one knows what’s going to happen in the future, brooke. I mean, maybe ridge will wind up with taylor. But that does not mean that she’s the better woman. And I never want to hear you to say that again. Listen to me, you’re emotional right now, and you let your guilt tear you down. And just because ridge can’t see how terrific you are doesn’t mean that I can’T. And come on, you’re– you’re brooke frickin logan, the brooke logan. Any man would walk barefoot across a desert of hot, broken glass just to be with you. It was too much with the broken glass, wasn’t it? I know they’re not all winners. But the point is… I just think you’re amazing.

Taylor: Yeah, it sounds like you’re finding some clarity. That’s wonderful. Hey, I have you– I have you next down for next tuesday. Is that right? Okay, good. Okay. You’re welcome. Bye-bye. Sheila.

Sheila: Excuse me. I was just wondering if you had a moment.

Taylor: I do, I do. What– what brings you by? I just can’t stop thinking about what you told me the last time. How you and ridge are are, are working your way back to one another. And taylor, that makes me so happy. I know that it makes you very happy, sheila, because you’ve made that very clear, but I never told you any of that. You’re jumping to conclusions.

Sheila: No, it was written all over your face then just as it is now. I think that you and ridge are going to have a very long, joyful relationship.

Taylor: Are you a psychic now? Is that it? I appreciate your confidence. Thank you.

Sheila: Of course I’m confident. And brooke crossed a line, she kissed deacon, and there is no way that ridge is going to go back to her.

Taylor: Yeah, well, you know, we’re– we’re taking it one day at a time. There’s, there’s a lot of emotions going on right now and ridge is– he’s confused and hurt, frustrated.

Sheila: Well, that’s a good thing that you’re there for him.

Taylor: Yeah, yeah, I am. It’s been nice spending time with him. It really has that– kind of feels like a dream.

Sheila: Well… then you’re living proof that dreams can come true. Because of one night, one crazy night. That’s all it took for brooke to destroy her marriage.

Taylor: Yeah, yeah. Brooke brooke messed up kissing deacon. But, you know, she was drinking that night.

Sheila: Of course, I haven’t forgotten.

[ Phone ringing ]

Taylor: Yeah. She still doesn’t know what possessed her to drink alcohol.

Sheila: And she probably never will.

Taylor: Hello. Oh, are you calling about the new assistant position? Thank you so much. Um, what is your name?

Thomas: Dad, I got to say, mom brings out the best in you.

Ridge: She always has. There’s something about her. I don’t know. She just makes things lighter in a way, you know, especially with all the stuff happening with brooke. Maybe this sounds selfish, but I think I’m at an age now where I deserve some happiness. And brooke self-destructs. Always has, I guess, and she makes bad choices, and why am I telling you this? I’m sorry, you’ve got your own stuff too.

Thomas: No, no, no, no. Come on, I’m always here for you.

Ridge: I know that, and I appreciate it. But something’s going on, what is it? What is this thing you talk about surprising something. What was it?

Thomas: Yeah, it’s very surprising. Something that could… change everything.

[ Phone ringing ] I have to take this. Hello.

Sheila: Have you said anything?

Thomas: Not yet.

Sheila: Well, then you better make that never. Because I’m here with your mom right now. I got to tell you, I have never seen her happier. You don’t want to ruin that for her, thomas.

Thomas: I got to go. My dad’s waiting on me.

Sheila: You’re with him? Don’t say anything, thomas. Promise me.

Ridge: Now, you just said it’s something that can change everything, and then you take a phone call. What’s going on? I need to know what it is.

Nate: Ashland, hey. How are you?

Ashland: Uh…fine, fine. Good to see you, nate.

[ Chuckles ]

Nate: Glad I ran into you. I was gonna call you. I’ve been thinking a lot about your proposal that I come and work for newman/locke.

Ashland: Really?

Nate: What you said about the difference I could make in the world, using the company’s resources to have an impact on healthcare on a global scale, really excited me.

Ashland: I thought you might find that appealing.

Nate: Of course, we need to discuss the details of the job before I could officially commit, but I’m leaning towards yes.

Ashland: Fantastic. Good to see you, nate. We’ll talk.

[ Clears throat ]

Nate: Is there a problem?

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: Tell me what? What is it that dad is supposed to say to me?

Nick: What do you mean? Dad — dad talked to you. You already know.

Victoria: Do I?

Nick: Look, I didn’t come here to cause you problems, vick. I just wanted to see how you’re doing.

Victoria: Why are you not telling me the truth? That is the one thing that I can always count on with you. No matter what, even if we’re disagreeing, you never lie to me.

Nick: What am I lying about?

Victoria: You didn’t come here to check on me. You are concerned about me for some reason, so tell me — what is it? Alright, then I’m gonna find out for myself.

Nikki: Oh.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Vick, is this necessary?

Victoria: You have all made it necessary by conspiring behind my back.

Nikki: Conspiring?

Victor: I know you’re angry with me, but there’s no reason for you to throw accusations around.

Victoria: Well, then will someone please tell me what’s going on?

Victor: You already know what’s going on. I asked you and ashland to hold off on signing that binding contract that makes both of you co-ceos. Let’s find out how his health is doing, how he’s recovering.

Victoria: I know what you asked me, but now I need to know what you’re keeping from me.

Phyllis: This is it. I mean, this is the address that was mentioned in all those mysterious texts.

Jack: This is keemo’s house.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Yeah, somebody obviously wanted you to come here.

Jack: I didn’t think I’d feel this nervous. I…I don’t know, maybe it’s the unknown and not knowing who or what’s gonna meet me on the other side of that door. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Phyllis: Okay.

Jack: Hello! No one’s home.

Phyllis: Well, it seems that way. Um…

Jack: Well, we can’t —

Phyllis: It’s unlocked.

Jack: Well, no, what — we can’t just walk in.

Phyllis: Well, we didn’t come all this way to stand on the front step.

Jack: We didn’t come all this way to trespass either.

Phyllis: Okay, well, obviously the person who is sending you the texts, they wanted you to come here. They wanted you to walk in.

Jack: Well, there’s some world-class rationalization.

Phyllis: It’s not a rationalization. This is your son’s house. I mean, it — it’s basically — it’s not trespassing.

Jack: No, according to the law, this is trespassing.

Phyllis: No, it’s not. There was no next-of-kin mentioned in the obituary. There was no wife, no —

Jack: No, they didn’t even mention his half-sister and, my god, she’s been out of the country for decades.

Phyllis: Okay. So since nobody else was mentioned, you might be the next-of-kin.

Jack: I don’t know, it just — it just doesn’t feel right.

Phyllis: Jack, we didn’t come all this way for nothing. We need answers. You need answers. This is where we start.

Jack: [ Exhales sharply ] Goal!

Jack: O-okay, let’s do this.

Phyllis: Okay. You first.

Jack: Hello! Hello? Is anyone home?

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Huh. Doesn’t look like anybody’s here and, um, somebody was obviously packing.

Jack: Yeah, the question is who.

Phyllis: A friend?

Jack: God, I would like to think keemo had someone close in his life.

Phyllis: Maybe it’s the person who was sending the texts.

Jack: Doesn’t make sense. We have all these questions, no answers. Someone wanted me to come to los angeles to an empty house to find what? There’s nothing here. And just standing here, I feel like I’m trespassing.

Phyllis: Um…why would you feel that way? Listen, you just said there’s nothing here. It’s not like we’ve uncovered some deep, dark secret.

Jack: I feel like keemo wouldn’t want me here. He made it very clear he wanted no part of me in his life. He wanted nothing to do with a father at all.

Phyllis: Maybe you can think of this as a way to reconnect with him in some way?

Jack: That’s the thing — keemo died not wanting to reconnect with me.

Ashland: I’m sorry, nate, and please don’t read anything into my mood at the moment. Huh?

Nate: Is everything alright?

Ashland: Yes, everything’s absolutely fine, and I’m no less enthusiastic about the possibility of you joining us at newman/locke than I was the day I made the offer. I’m thrilled that you’re actually considering it.

Nate: I’m glad.

Ashland: We need to have a significant conversation about this. The problem is I’m late for an appointment, and that’s why I’m a little distracted right now, so how about if we plan on some dinner sometime this week? How’s that?

Nate: I’d like that, but are you sure you’re okay? You seem frazzled, and don’t take this the wrong way, but you look a little unwell.

Ashland: Don’t worry about me, I’m fine.

Nate: Yeah? You don’t sound fine. What’s going on?

Ashland: Nothing. It’s — I’m fine.

Nate: Okay, look, I don’t mean to pry, but I’m concerned.

Ashland: Seriously, it’s — it’s just…

[ Sighs ] Okay, okay. I — it’s stupid of me to try to fool you. I, um…I’m not feeling 100%.

Nate: What’s going on?

Ashland: The old symptoms — fatigue, occasional shortness of breath — they’ve come back. And it’s made me a little nervous.

Victoria: Nicholas assumed that dad had told me something, but when I asked what that something might be, he wasn’t very forthcoming.

Nick: I was just trying to explain —

Victoria: I think that maybe you were trying to cover something up. So tell me, dad, what is this about? Is this really about ashland becoming co-ceo or is there something else, given that you seem to be spying on us lately?

Victor: I don’t need to spy. My name is on this damn building.

Nick: Look, vick, you’re making a big deal out of this. It’s nothing. I thought dad had talked to you about not signing the co-ceo contract, but then I saw you react so I couldn’t be sure. That’s it.

Victoria: Nicholas, you don’t have any business knowing that information. You don’t even work here.

Nick: Well, I’m your brother, and I care about you. That means I care about how everything in this building affects you.

Nikki: We all care, darling. Nicholas is just looking after you.

Victor: Just as I do when i ask you to hold off on signing the damn contract. It’s better for you and ashland.

Victoria: Why?

Victor: What do you mean “why”? He just left to go home in the middle of the day to rest.

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] So what?

Victor: That’s why I believe he’s not 100%. I think you should leave the story of your positions and titles alone for now.

Victoria: For how long?

Victor: Until we find out how his health is doing. You’ve been running this company by yourself and done a damn good job.

Victoria: Ashland’s increased presence at newman/locke will only strengthen it.

Victor: You’ve assembled a very good team with him and your mother as coo. Why change that?

Victoria: I know there’s something else going on here. It’s just that none of you are willing to admit it. So until somebody wants to come clean and tell me, this conversation is over. And now I’m gonna go home and check on my husband, who’s feeling under the weather, and that’s all. And I’m telling you for the last time — stay out of my business and leave me and ashland alone. When I get a migraine,

Phyllis: Listen, I can’t possibly understand what you’re going through. I’m sure it’s just a swirl of emotions, but I just want you to know I’m here for you. Take all the time you need.

Jack: Thank you for that.

Phyllis: But I’m not gonna let you second-guess yourself, jack. I mean, you could’ve blown off those texts, and you didn’T. This is a journey you wanted to take, and…I’m here with you. It’s a way to reconnect with your son in some way.

Jack: Yeah, a little late for that, huh?

Phyllis: I don’t think it is. I mean, you can find out the man he became, the man you didn’t know. Hey, at least we could find out who’s been texting you.

Jack: That — that i definitely want to know.

Phyllis: Yes, and you deserve to know that.

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: So we are not leaving. We’re getting some answers. We didn’t fly all the way here to spend the night in a hotel room and then leave the next morning. Let’s dig in and get the answers.

Jack: Yeah, if I left now, it — it would just haunt me. I want to know who reached out to me. More than that, I want to know something about keemo’s life. I…I want to know that the world he built for himself had some happiness in it, even if it didn’t include me.

Nick: So let me get this straight — victoria wants to make ashland her co-ceo.

Victor: His idea.

Nick: This guy’s unbelievable.

Victor: He is inching closer and closer to wanting to take over the whole damn thing.

Nikki: Allegedly.

Nick: Mom, don’t give him the benefit of the doubt. I mean, he’s lying about being sick, about getting some miraculous cure all so he can get his hands on the company.

Nikki: I am just saying, there may be other information that we don’t have.

Nick: We have enough.

Nikki: Alright, I admit, things aren’t looking good for ashland, and I advised victoria to not sign the contract.

Nick: Obviously, she didn’t listen. And clearly you haven’t told her that he’s lying about being sick.

Victor: I will not tell her anything unless there’s no other option left.

Nick: I’m just not comfortable keeping these secrets from victoria while you figure out how you’re gonna deal with ashland in whatever covert way you settle on.

Victor: I will take care of things.

Nick: I don’t doubt that, dad. But you don’t know how it’s gonna play out. Victoria’s already furious at us.

Victor: Too bad that she’s furious. Beats the alternative — that guy taking over our family’s business.

Nick: This is exactly why i wanted to just stay out of it. But I can’t turn my back on victoria, and I got to make sure that ashland gets everything he deserves.

Victor: Son, I told you, i will take care of everything.

Nick: I hope you’re right.

Nate: How often are you experiencing these symptoms?

Ashland: Not frequently.

Nate: What does that mean? Four or five times a day? Once a month?

Ashland: Couple times a week, maybe a little tired, a little light-headed, but it’s manageable.

Nate: Yeah, it’s manageable now, but what if it gets worse?

Ashland: [ Stammers ] Maybe it’s just a bug.

Nate: A bug, that’s your diagnosis?

Ashland: Okay.

[ Chuckles ] I don’t have your medical expertise, but I don’t really think there’s any reason to jump to the worst possible conclusion.

Nate: There’s every reason in the world to do that. You’re not in the position to take chances. You need to see your oncologist, have some tests run.

Ashland: I’ve already made that call. In fact, that’s the appointment I was talking about earlier. That — I’m on my way there now.

Nate: What are you waiting for? Go.

Ashland: You — I was going, and you stopped me, and now we’re talking.

[ Laughs ]

Nate: Would you like me to come along? You know, just for support. It might help to have a friend in the room who happens to be a doctor.

Ashland: No, that’s not necessary, but I really do appreciate the hell out of it. You are a good man, nate. I’ll tell you what. I will call you and tell you what happens at the appointment, and we’ll set up the dinner for later in the week because we need to talk about your future.

Nate: I look forward to that.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone rings ]

Victoria: Hey. I just stopped by the house to check on you, but you weren’t there. Where did you go? I’m at crimson lights, and I’m getting ready to head back to the office, but I want you to call me, ashland. I’m a little bit worried about you. Hello, how can I?

Nikki: I think nicholas is right to be concerned. When you confronted ashland and demanded that he leave town, he didn’t blink. He didn’t confess. He didn’t have any remorse at all.

Victor: He’ll be gone soon enough.

Nikki: Well, he didn’t agree to leave.

Victor: He will if he knows what’s best for him.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] Victor, you have him trapped in a corner. And that’s when men like ashland are most dangerous. I mean, you know how he is. He — he won’t back down from a fight, same as you. And he’s desperate. I just worry that you have less of a handle on this situation than you think you do.

Victor: If he tries anything, I will show him no mercy.

Sharon: Well, hey, victoria. What can I get you?

Victoria: Coffee to go, please.

Sharon: Okay. Is everything alright?

Victoria: Yes, everything’s fine. I’m just busy. Has ashland stopped in here today?

Sharon: No, I haven’t seen him. Why? You seem worried.

Victoria: Well, maybe I am a little bit. He said that he wasn’t feeling well, and I thought that he went home to rest, but when I went to the house to check on him, he wasn’t there. I guess I ought to know by now that he’s not one to sit around doing nothing, even though he should.

Sharon: Yeah, some people don’t know when to stop. But I hope he’ll take care of himself.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Yes, me too.

Sharon: You know, if I see him, I’ll tell him that you’re looking for him, and then I’ll tell him to go straight home and rest.

Victoria: Thank you, sharon.

Nick: Hey. Can we talk?

Victoria: I was just leaving.

Nick: Just one minute.

Victoria: Okay, fine, one minute.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Look, I don’t like the way things unfolded at the office. I do not want to get caught up in the middle of something with you, dad, and ashland.

Victoria: It seems that you know more about what’s going on than I do, and you just don’t want to say anything to me.

Nick: I just — I need you to know that my only concern is you and that you can rely on me for anything. We haven’t been the same since your wedding, and I hate that. But don’t shut me out, alright? Can you meet me halfway on this?

Phyllis: Wow. Well, the rest of the house is as empty as this room.

Jack: Is this the room he spent most of his time in? Think he woke up early for california sunrise? Was there — was there laughter and music and raucous joy in this house or was this a quiet, contemplative space? I… that’s the hard part. I’m trying to piece together the life of someone that was very important to me, who I don’t — I don’t feel like I knew at all.

Phyllis: For what it’s worth, I think you’re doing a great job.

Jack: I should know so much more. I’m sorry, I… was this his favorite place to sit? Was this…was this where he’d read a book or where he’d write or… oh, my god.

Phyllis: What is it?

Jack: Oh, my god.

Phyllis: What?

Jack: These are letters to me. They all have the same return address — keemo nguyen, at this address. There’s no stamp. These were letters to me that he never sent.

Phyllis: I mean, it seems like he wanted to reach out to you. Listen, um…this is the only box in the place, so obviously it was left here for you.

Jack: Apparently.

Phyllis: Listen, um…I’m gonna leave you alone with this, okay? I saw a coffee shop down the way, and I’ll just — and you can give me a call.

Jack: No, no, no, no. I don’t want to be alone. Would you stay? I’d like you to be here with me.

Phyllis: Of course.

Covid-19 moves fast,

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Victoria: I thought that we were getting back to normal, nicholas. And I really don’t want to lose the progress that we’ve made either, but after what happened today, it’s kind of hard to believe that you’re on my side.

Nick: I am, always.

Victoria: I still know that you don’t like or respect ashland, and it breaks my heart.

Nick: I’m trying. Alright? I’m really trying. Can you accept that?

Victoria: That’s all I want is for my family to accept ashland and to just respect my relationship with him and stop trying to undermine my happiness.

Ashland: What is going on here?

Victoria: Hi.

Ashland: [ Laughs ] Hello, sweetheart. I got your message that you were here. Hello, nick.

Nick: Ashland.

Ashland: Um, I couldn’t help but overhear what you were saying, and I just want to go on the record that victoria speaks for me as well. We both want the same thing. For you to see how much I love her and care about her and that I would do anything to make her happy.

Jack: He signs all of them with his birth name — “keemo.” Not hao. And he’s clearly working through all these conflicting feelings about me. I don’t think he ever intended to mail any of these. I think this was purely therapeutic.

Phyllis: I mean, I don’t want to pry, but if you want to share any of them, I’m happy to listen.

Jack: Yeah, let me show you something. “I said I’d forgiven you, and i tried to let everything that happened go, but after I left genoa city, something inside me could not let me be at peace.”

Phyllis: Okay. Does it make you feel better that he was conflicted?

Jack: Yeah, maybe a little. Here. Um… alright. “I want you to know that I’m sorry about those angry e-mails I sent. I became consumed by grief and rage I felt over the time I lost with my mother. I wonder how different things would’ve been if I’d known she was dying.” Luan didn’t want anyone to know that she was ill. She didn’t want to burden anyone. I… she didn’t tell me. I found out by accident. Kept it to myself.

Phyllis: Listen, that must’ve been very difficult for you to keep that from everybody, including her.

Jack: Yeah, I didn’t tell keemo because I thought I was honoring his mother’s wishes, and…our son could not, would not accept that.

Phyllis: Well, that was very difficult for you, I’m sure, keeping that secret. You know, and I’m sure that you thought maybe, with time, keemo would get past it.

Jack: NO.

[ Chuckles ] He…he kind of did. Is this it? Yeah. “I finally found some peace. I changed my name to hao nguyen. It was my maternal grandfather’s name. Now I’m honoring my mother’s memory. I am freed from the conflict of being jack abbott’s son. I feel like I’m on a new path.”

Phyllis: You’re a wonderful man. You are. And you’re an incredible father. You would’ve been an amazing father to keemo if he would have let you.

Jack: Well, it seemed he found a way to move on.

Phyllis: Did he really? Did he move on? Or did he just let this fester?

Jack: Is this the one? Yeah. “I’m no longer angry, but i can’t look back for fear that rage will return. So while I’ve forgiven you, i can’t ever have a relationship with you. It’s better for everyone. I hope that you can understand that and forgive me. Your son, keemo.”

Phyllis: Jack, you’re being very selfless. The path that keemo chose, it was good for him, it was not good for you.

Jack: No, it was not.

Phyllis: No.

Jack: I hate that he never felt comfortable enough to reach out to me, to respond to my correspondences. I’M… I’m glad at least he found some forgiveness in his heart at the very end.

Phyllis: How do you know it was the end?

Jack: Well, I — every one of these letters was written in the last 12 months. It’s as if he knew he didn’t have much longer.

Phyllis: Well, the obituary said that he died of a heart attack.

Jack: Yeah, and I know and that’s very sudden, but maybe he was diagnosed with some kind of condition, and…and that’s why he was working through all of this. Maybe, was this — was this about a health condition? Oh, god, there are so many questions.

Phyllis: And we’re gonna get the answers. We are. I promise you.

Victor: There, my darling.

Nikki: Oh, nate! How are you?

Nate: Excellent. Always good to see the two of you.

Nikki: Well, thank you. You as well.

Victor: You’ll be seeing more of dr. Hastings at newman towers.

Nikki: Oh?

Nate: I’m considering taking a job with newman/locke.

Nikki: You would really leave medicine?

Nate: Sometimes need to make a change to keep things interesting.

Nikki: Oh, well, it can get very interesting at newman/locke. But as the person in charge of operations, I’d prefer it didn’T. I — I like smooth sailing.

Nate: I promise not to rock that boat.

Nikki: Huh, wow. Well, I guess memorial’s loss is our gain. I hope I get to welcome you to the team.

Nate: Me too.

Victor: You mean the deal is not done yet?

Nate: No, I still have to hash things out with ashland. I saw him earlier, and we were trying to set up a time to talk things through.

Victor: You saw ashland today?

Nate: He was just here.

Victor: Oh. Huh.

Nikki: Um, how did he seem?

Nate: What do you mean?

Nikki: Oh, I don’t know, just physically, did he seem okay?

Nate: Last time we spoke, you were asking me about his condition.

Victor: Dr. Hastings, ashland is now a member of our family, you know. We’re concerned about him. And when we saw him earlier, he had a hard time breathing, so you didn’t see anything wrong with him?

Ashland: You don’t need to worry about victoria, especially where I’m concerned. And besides, she does not need protecting.

Nick: [ Clears throat ] That is good to know.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] You know, I think it would mean a lot to her if she knew you were on her side.

Victoria: I was just telling him that.

Nick: I’m always on her side.

Victoria: I want to believe that.

Nick: You should. It’s true.

Ashland: Well, that’s fantastic. I just want victoria to have anything her heart desires, so how about this, nick? Why don’t we all just work together, hmm?

Sharon: Ashland, nice to see you.

Ashland: Ah.

Sharon: I made your favorite. I’m sorry to interrupt, but i have some news about mariah and tessa I want to talk to you about. If you don’t mind that I steal him for a minute.

Ashland: No.

Nick: We’ll talk later. Hey, thanks for the coffee. I don’t remember ordering it.

Sharon: You didn’T. I just thought you needed it.

Nick: Okay, what’s going on with tessa and mariah?

Sharon: They have decided on a wedding idea, but that was just an excuse.

Nick: Excuse for what?

Sharon: I just really wanted to get you away from ashland. Nick, I’ve known you a long time, and I know that you were a split second away from doing something you would regret. You can’t go back in there.

Everyone remembers the

moment they heard,

Phyllis: The backyard is extraordinary. It’s gorgeous. There’s a garden and an orange tree, so many flowers. You want to go back there?

Jack: You know, I think we should leave.

Phyllis: Oh. I don’t think so. Look, there are so many more letters to go through.

Jack: You know what? It’s — it’s kind of overwhelming.

Phyllis: I’m sure it is. You can’t stop now.

Jack: You try to make the right choices, you…try to make the world a better place, you try to help, and you look back and all you can see…

[ Sighs ]

Phyllis: What is this?

Jack: What? What is it?

Phyllis: It’s a picture of keemo with two women and a young girl.

Jack: He looks so happy.

Phyllis: There’s something written on the back.

Jack: “Vietnam, june 2012.”

Nick: I was this close to losing it with ashland. You know, telling him what i think about him and all the lies he’s told. But it would’ve been a disaster. Thanks for interrupting.

Sharon: And you would’ve made a scene in my coffee house, and I can’t let that happen.

Nick: It would’ve just come back to bite me. I mean, ashland would’ve denied it, vick would’ve sided with him. She’s already on the defensive.

Sharon: Why do you say that?

Nick: I went to check on her earlier and kind of created this accidental minefield with her and the parents, but, uh… it’s okay ’cause dad has a plan.

Sharon: Of course he does.

Nick: I don’t know any of the details, but dad seems to think he can get ashland out of our lives for good without victoria ever knowing the truth.

Sharon: I’m just worried about the fallout from all of this. It’s gonna take a toll on your whole family. I’m so sorry this is happening.

Nick: Thanks. I really appreciate you pulling me away from that, and knowing that you are always there for me.

Sharon: Anytime.

Nate: Victor, you know how i feel about disclosing medical information.

Victor: Nate, you made your stance clear last time we talked.

Nate: So you can see why I’d be reluctant to give an opinion about ashland’s health.

Victor: But I’m not asking for test results. I just want to know if you thought he looked healthy.

Nate: He did seem a bit under the weather, but that could be stress or just a common cold. It’s best not to presume anything.

Nikki: You’re right, of course.

Victor: Thank you for stopping by.

Nate: Bye.

Nikki: Bye, nate.

Victor: What do you think?

Nikki: [ Sighs ] You mean the fact that ashland came here instead of going home like he said he would?

Victor: It was a lie.

Nikki: I know you think he’s lying about everything.

Victor: Because he is.

Nikki: Maybe he just wanted to stop and pick up some food on the way home. Maybe he wasn’t acting at all. Maybe he just isn’t feeling well.

Victor: Sweetheart, that’s the least likely of all possibilities, alright?

Nikki: I don’t know. I’m still struggling with the idea that he lied about his condition.

Victor: And I understand how you’d want to think that way, for victoria’s sake. I’m telling you he has deceived our daughter in the most profound way.

Nikki: What if the information that michael got in peru is wrong? I mean, maybe those doctors just said what they thought you wanted to hear in the hopes of a big payout.

Victor: Sweetheart, how long has michael baldwin been my lawyer? I trust that man.

Nikki: I understand that. I am just saying that we need to really be certain about this situation because the stakes are too high. So before you do anything, we need more information.

Ashland: I hope we were able to get through to nick.

Victoria: Time will tell. Right now, I’m still a little bit more concerned about you. If you’re not feeling well, you shouldn’t be out, you should be at home in bed.

Ashland: No, I’m — really, I’m much better now.

Victoria: Well, I’m still worried about you, and I hope that my father’s interference in our plans didn’t contribute to how you’re feeling.

Ashland: It was just a momentary thing. I’m fine.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Good. And I want you to know that I am still 100% committed to moving forward with the co-ceo arrangement. Have you signed the contract yet?

Ashland: Not yet. Um…

Victoria: Why not?

Ashland: Oh. Sorry. Mm, okay. Um, I’m sorry, where were we?

Victoria: I asked you if you had a chance to sign the contract.

Ashland: Right. Uh…no. Victoria…there’s something I need to tell you about your father.

Proofread by Anita

Sasha: [ Breathes sharply ]

Brando: Morning.

Sasha: Good morning. Mm, did I oversleep?

Brando: Mnh-mnh. There’s no such thing on vacation. You can go back to sleep if you want. We can have coffee later.

Sasha: Thanks, but I need to wake up. Mmm! That is good.

Brando: Mm-hmm. Making coffee is one of my many skills.

Sasha: The others being?

Brando: We have an entire vacation for you to find out.

Sasha: I can’t wait.

Brando: Well, we have a lot to celebrate. [ Sighs ] Maxie is finally home safe. Peter August is gone. And we get to spend time together. Just the two of us. This is exactly what we both need.

Professor Khan: Read chapter 8 for the next class. Be ready to discuss. See you next week. Uh, Ms. Robinson, a moment of your time. You seemed, uh, pretty silent in class today. Are you alright? That’s not like you.

Trina: Uh. There’s just been a lot on my mind.

Professor Khan: I know freshman year can be overwhelming, but you seem to be handling it well. You’re one of my few “a” students this semester.

Trina: Thanks.

Professor Khan: But remember — class participation is a third of your grade, and I’d hate to see you get lost in the shuffle.

Josslyn: Thanks for walking to class early with me. I know you have a lot going on at home.

Cameron: Doesn’t mean I can’t be there for you. Things still weird between you and Trina?

Josslyn: We’re roommates, and we barely see each other. A lot of that’s on me. I mean, between practice and team meetings, I’m really busy. But Trina only comes back to the room to sleep. She’s not returning any of my texts or my calls.

Cameron: Things have been weird since the cabin with Esme and Spencer.

Josslyn: They’ve only gotten worse since. And it’s all thanks to Esme.

Esme: Happy belated birthday.

Spencer: Are you crazy? You’ll get me in trouble.

Esme: Lighten up, boyfriend. I know you spent your birthday in here alone last night. That kiss is my present.

Spencer: And if the wrong guard sees you, it blows back on me.

Esme: I’m sorry to have bothered you. Lucky for you, I’m leaving. Class calls.

Spencer: Fine. See you around.

Esme: Someone woke up on the wrong side of his prison cot this morning. What’s with the mood?

Sam: Hmm. I guess a day of hatchet throwing didn’t cheer you up.

Carly: It did. And you and Olivia were right. I definitely needed to blow off some steam. I’m sad today.

Sam: Why?

Carly: Been thinking about Courtney. Today’s the anniversary of her death.

Sonny: Hey, Courtney. It’s hard to believe how much time has passed since you left us. Your son is a full-grown man getting himself in trouble. I couldn’t make it last year because — well, I’m sure you know what happened. I like to think that you’re always watching out for me. But I just want to let you know that I’ve been thinking about you. And you’re still in my heart.

Nikolas: Mine too.

Ava: [ Chuckles ] I haven’t seen you in a while, Victor. Nikolas is joining me for brunch. If you’d like to join us, that’s fine.

Victor: Oh, uh, unfortunately, I-I can’t stay. I have some business I have to attend to.

Ava: Oh. Well, you — you’ve been keeping yourself scarce since — since Valentine’s Day.

Laura: Keeping a low profile. Trying to avoid being implicated in an ongoing investigation. That sounds right, doesn’t it?

Anna: Thank you so much for meeting me. Oh, I didn’t realize it was gonna be so cold out here.

Drew: Ooh. Too bad we weren’t in port Charles during the heat wave.

Anna: [ Chuckles ] I just wanted to talk to you in private.

Drew: Yeah. Your message sounded pretty urgent. What’s going on?

Anna: I just have this feeling that we’re headed for danger, and at the center of it all is Victor. And you.

Sonny: I didn’t expect to see you here.

Nikolas: Courtney was important to me, too.

Sonny: Yeah.

Nikolas: I loved her.

Sonny: Um, was it worth it, Nikolas? Breaking up your marriage to Emily and Jax’s to my sister for an affair? I’m just curious.

Nikolas: I loved Courtney. I was gonna marry her.

Sonny: So, if Courtney were still alive, you think you’d still be together?

Nikolas: I’d like to think so. In truth, I don’t know.

Sonny: Well, at least you’re honest. [ Laughs ]

Nikolas: I do know this, though. You know, Courtney, she’s always gonna be the mother of my son.

Sonny: Mm-hmm.

Nikolas: Nothing’s gonna change that. It’s just like Carly. She’s always gonna be the mother of your children.

Carly: You know, the Metro Court is named after her.

Sam: Yeah, I do know.

Carly: Wow. Courtney and I were really close. You know, and with Jax out of town and Spencer and Josslyn on the outs and my impending divorce from Sonny, I just feel like all my connections to Courtney are slipping away. And you don’t need to hear this. [ Laughs ]

Sam: [ Chuckles ] No, it’s — it’s true, though. No, Courtney and I were not the best of friends, but maybe if she would have lived, we would have become friends. I mean, if Elizabeth Baldwin and I can become friends, anything’s possible.

Carly: Hell sure did freeze over there.

[ Both laugh ]

Sam: Who knows? Maybe Courtney and I would’ve been able to bury the hatchet. Or throw a hatchet at a wall instead of each other. [ Chuckles ]

Victor: I’m sorry, Mayor Collins, but I have no idea what you’re referring to.

Laura: I don’t think it’s coincidence that Victor resurfaced at the same time Luke died and the Ice Princess was stolen. It’s all connected. Luke’s death was not an accident. And Victor was behind it.

Laura: There have been a lot of suspicious activities in Port Charles recently.

Victor: Is this your way of accusing me of helping Peter August escape? Because if so, I categorically deny having anything to do with it. Peter August was a blight on this city, and all of us are better off without him.

Laura: Well, you can deny it all you want. If you were involved in it, there will be a way to prove it.

Victor: I’ll take that as my cue to leave, shall I? Ava.

Ava: Mm.

Victor: It’s a pleasure, as always. Madame Mayor.

Ava: Well, that was fun. Do you want to tell me what’s going on between you and Victor?

Drew: So, I’ve been working under the same assumption — right? — That Victor is dangerous and that his agenda did not die with Peter. How did — how did you get there?

Anna: Liesl bugged Victor, and she overheard a conversation he had with you and Sam.

Drew: At the docks.

Anna: Yeah.

Drew: Yeah, Sam and I were convinced that Victor was trying to activate my old conditioning.

Anna: Exactly.

Drew: Does Valentin know about this? Did you mention this to him? Because we shared a cell in Crete for a little bit, and he seemed to have such solid insights into Victor.

Anna: Valentin’s out of commission right now. He was, um — he was abducted.

Drew: What?

Anna: Right before Peter escaped. And he turned up in an alley. He was drugged, disoriented, and he was still recovering from the gunshot wound in Crete. And, you know, he developed an infection. He’s at a clinic out of town, but he’s making progress. He’ll be home soon.

Drew: Well, good. I’m glad to hear that. Make sure you send him my regards next time you talk to him, okay?

Anna: Yes, yes. My wish is that we — we expose Victor and whatever his crimes are before Valentin comes home.

Drew: That is a tall order. I mean, we’re gonna have to move very quickly.

Anna: See, I just feel that Victor is going to exploit the father-son relationship and manipulate Valentin the same way that he’s co-opting the rest of his family.

Spencer: Sorry, I didn’t mean to take my anger out on you. Forgive me.

Esme: I get it. Spring Ridge may be minimum security, but it’s still a prison and you’re still incarcerated.

Spencer: It’s more than that. [ Voice breaking ] Today’s the anniversary of my mother’s death. [ Crying, sniffles ] And even though I never knew her… I still feel that we have a connection. Every year, I made sure that there were flowers on her grave. And I’ve never missed a year…until now.

Esme: Hey. Your mother understands, Spence.

Spencer: It’s not about her understanding. It is about letting the world know that I remember her… …because my mother lives on as long as I keep up these little traditions. When I was talking to Trina about how she felt after she thought that her father had died, she said that she felt the same way.

Josslyn: I hate that there’s tension between me and Trina. All I did was call Esme out for playing mind games with her.

Cameron: And I’m sure you were very nice and polite.

Josslyn: Hey, my mom taught me that you can’t just ignore an Esme and hope that they go away. They’re like sharks looking for blood. So, the best way to deal with them is to punch them in the nose and hope they retreat.

Cameron: I believe the expression is to bop them on the nose.

Josslyn: Oh. It’s not how I do it. Trina. Uh, how brutal was Khan’s class?

Trina: Uh, lots of participation required today, so be prepared to be called on more than usual.

Josslyn: Hey, wait. Are you still mad at me for what happened with Esme the other day?

Esme: That’s a beautiful sentiment, but you don’t only need to keep your mother’s memory alive on the anniversary of her passing. I mean, you can visit her grave anytime you want and leave out flowers for her when you get out, which won’t be that long.

Spencer: True.

Esme: Besides, you were in boarding school for years. What did you do those times?

Spencer: Alfred and Ross left flowers on her grave for me.

Esme: Well, there you go. You can do that again. Or… I’d be more than honored to leave flowers for your mother.

Spencer: That’s not the point. The point is… …that I finally am here [Chuckles] In Port Charles, and that I should be able to do this for her, but I can’t! Because of the choices… …that I made. That I made.

Esme: I was only trying to help.

Spencer: But you don’t understand.

Esme: But Trina would?

Brando: You know… it is too bad we spent most of the night talking.

Sasha: You could have made a move.

Brando: Mm. Well, I was waiting for a signal from you. I didn’t want to pressure you.

Sasha: Anyone ever tell you what a great guy you are?

Brando: [ Sighs ] A great guy? That’s what you say to someone you want to put in the friend zone.

Sasha: Not in this case.

Brando: I missed you. I missed us.

Sasha: Did we have plans in town?

Brando: Um, lunch reservations, um, tickets to Maid of the Mist. Um. Or we could just hang out here.

Sonny: Carly and I may not be together, but she’s still a great mother to Michael, Josslyn, Donna, and Avery.

Nikolas: Ava is Avery’s mother, not Carly.

Sonny: I’m not here to argue with you, Nikolas. Especially in front of my sister’s grave. I’m just saying she would have been an amazing mother to Spencer if she had lived.

Nikolas: Courtney had a kind soul.

Sonny: Yeah.

Nikolas: She was patient as a saint.

Sonny: And you know what? I would have loved for Spencer to get to know her.

Nikolas: She would have had a good influence on him. She might have even negated the mistakes I made while raising him. Now you tell me I’m wrong, that I did the best that I could with Spencer.

Sonny: I wish I could do that if — if I believed it, but I’m not gonna lie.

Trina: Joss, I’m not mad at you.

Josslyn: Just too busy to respond to my calls or my texts?

Trina: Okay, maybe I’m a little annoyed. You made me collateral damage when you got up all in Esme’s face.

Josslyn: Oh, Trina, come on. You know that apology was as fake as she is. All I did was call her out on it.

Trina: And then you told her something I told you in confidence.

Josslyn: Look, I said I was sorry for that. I did. But obviously you don’t believe me.

Trina: I do. I just need a little bit of time to process. You put me in the middle of your war with Esme.

Josslyn: But Esme wasn’t coming for me. She was coming for you. Trina, the whole thing was a setup, start to finish. I mean, Esme texts you that she wants to meet up, she shows up to apologize, she gives you some saccharine speech about how she made a mistake and wants to be friends. Look, I admit that I lost my temper. And the thing about Spencer giving you that book, it just slipped out.

Cameron: Spencer gave you a book?

Trina: He asked his grandmother to give it to me, and I happened to get it on Valentine’s Day. But it was not a Valentine’s gift. It was just a gift. And what part of keeping a confidence don’t you understand?

Josslyn: Cam cares about you, Trina. Unlike Esme. I’m sorry for betraying your trust, but I’m not gonna apologize for defending my friends.

Esme: [ Voice breaking ] So only Trina understands what it’s like for you to lose your mother?

Spencer: Hey —

Esme: She hasn’t experienced real loss. Her father isn’t even dead.

Spencer: I’m sorry. Hey, that was a stupid thing to say. It’s just that you never really talk about your parents.

Esme: I don’t like talking about them.

Spencer: I get it. But I forget sometimes. Hey, I promise to do better. It’s not gonna happen again.

Esme: And what about the gift you got Trina?

Spencer: I get all my friends thank you gifts. It’s a lot easier than sending handwritten cards.

Esme: And it’s a coincidence that your grandmother just happens to give your gift to Trina on Valentine’s Day.

Spencer: It was. Esme, hey, you have to believe me.

Victor: Spencer, my boy, my apologies for not visiting you on your birthday. Oh, I’m sorry. Would, uh — would you like me to come back another time?

Laura: What do you think’s going on, Ava?

Ava: I think Victor helped Peter August escape from that prison van that was taking him to Pentonville, and then I think he somehow managed to smuggle him out of the country. And I think you think the same thing.

Laura: Does it matter now? I mean, Peter’s dead.

Ava: But this isn’t about Peter, really, is it? It’s about dear uncle Victor. And for you, that’s very, very personal.

Laura: [ Chuckles ] You can think whatever you like, Ava. Actually, you know, I-I came to meet Sam.

Ava: Don’t you trust me?

Laura: I was watching you earlier with Victor, and it looked kind of close to me.

Ava: [ Breathes sharply ] Well, you know, keep your enemies closer and all that. I trust Victor as much as you do.

Drew: Victor co-opting his family is one thing, but what use does he have for me?

Anna: The working theory is that Peter was stringing Victor along.

Drew: Right, Peter was gonna give Victor the means to my conditioning to activate it. But I still — I don’t get it. I don’t understand why. I mean, what use does he have for an ex-Navy Seal to do his dirty work? He’s got plenty of ex-military on his payroll.

Anna: Don’t you think it’s possible that Victor thinks you know something — or, rather, that you did?

Laura: I think that Victor is planning something that could spell trouble for all of us.

Ava: Well, he has made some cryptic comments about his plans.

Laura: And Spencer now just idolizes his great-uncle, and it seems like Nikolas is warming up to him, too. So, I feel like I can’t say anything negative because they’d both defend him, and then that would just drive them closer to Victor.

Ava: Well, I know that Nikolas does have his guard up. But I think you’re right, and Victor is making some progress there. And Spencer we know is already firmly in Victor’s camp.

Laura: But you, Ava, you’re smarter than that.

Nikolas: [ sighs ] Walked right into that one, didn’t I?

Sonny: You’ve made a lot of mistakes, mistakes that have changed Spencer’s life, shaped his character. You can’t change that.

Nikolas: Yeah, what do you want me to do, Sonny? Own up to my decisions, my past?

Sonny: That would be a start, now, wouldn’t it? Move forward with the people you love. Don’t run away from your mistakes. ‘Cause when you do that, it makes your pain worse.

Sam: I guess we’re all starting new chapters.

Carly: So, things are good with you and Dante?

Sam: I don’t want to jinx it, but, yeah, things are going pretty good.

Carly: That’s great. What about Drew?

Sam: Yeah [Sighs] That’s definitely…over. We just realized that we’d be better off as co-parents and friends. Why do you ask?

Carly: I don’t know. He’s been really supportive while I’ve been going through everything with Sonny and the divorce. And so, I don’t know, I was trying to look out for him the way he’s been looking out for me.

Ava: I’m listening.

Laura: Victor is trying to make nice right now with Nikolas, which means he’s going to do the same with you.

Ava: Hmm. He’s already trying pretty damn hard.

Laura: Good, good. Let him. Get him to lower his guard so much with you that he might even confide in you.

Ava: And if Victor says something incriminating, you’d like me to pass that on to you?

Laura: If you’d like.

Ava: And I’m guessing that you don’t want me to tell my husband about this arrangement.

Laura: You know, Ava, we dealt with that situation with Ryan together. I wouldn’t ask for your help if it wasn’t serious.

Ava: And I’m sure I’ll know if Victor says something relevant.

Laura: I’m sure you will. I have every confidence in you. Thank you.

Carly: I was ready to lose my mind the night that I walked in on Sonny and Nina at the haunted star.

Sam: Oh.

Carly: And I ran into Drew right after, and, um [Chuckles] Well, he let me vent. And he didn’t try and fix me. He didn’t try and stop me or make it better. He just let me talk.

Laura: Sam, sorry I’m late. I got a little sidetracked. Hi, Carly.

Carly: Hi.

Sam: Oh, n-not a problem. Um, it was really nice talking to you.

Carly: It was nice talking to you, too.

Sam: What was so important that you couldn’t talk to me on the phone about it?

Laura: It is about Victor’s associate.

Sam: Johann?

Laura: Some new details have come to light, and I thought you should know about them, considering it involves Drew.

Esme: As always, a pleasure, Uncle Victor. I-I wish I could stay and chat, but I need to bounce. Um, class calls. Hey. Bye, spence.

Spencer: Bye.

Esme: Time to get this done.

Victor: So, what was that all about?

Spencer: [ Sighs ] My fault. I-I took my frustration at being stuck in here out on Esme. She didn’t deserve it.

Victor: Mm. Ah, you take after your grandfather. He always had a much shorter fuse than the rest of the family.

Spencer: Hm.

Victor: So, what exactly lit this particular powder keg, hm?

Spencer: Every year, I leave flowers on my mother’s grave on the anniversary of her death. I can’t this year for obvious reasons. Mm. Unless…

Victor: Unless what?

Spencer: Well, unless you bust me out.

Drew: So you think that Victor is trying to access my old memories?

Anna: It’s possible. But, look, Andre confirmed for me that those memories were gone.

Drew: But Peter made him believe otherwise.

Anna: Well, Peter and Faison, they were in charge of the whole memory experiment. But then Victor, he took custody of you at Crichton Clark. And this — this kind of tracks with this new information that I’m privy to. [ Sighs ]

Drew: Such as?

Laura: It’s alright, Anna. I think Drew has a right to know the truth.

Victor: Absolutely not.

Spencer: Come on, Uncle Victor. I know that you have connections in Spring Ridge. You arranged for Samuel to make sure that I was safe. How hard could it be for you to arrange a furlough?

Victor: Furloughs are almost exclusively reserved for family funerals and deathbeds.

Spencer: Then it can be off the books. It’s not like this place is surrounded by barbed wire. I can be shuttled out of here and brought back in an hour.

Victor: I will not risk extending your sentence, much less joining you in here. Not when there’s so much in the works for the future of this family.

Spencer: And I want to be a part of that future. We are Cassadines, Uncle Victor. Family is everything to us. We don’t get to pick and choose who we love, who we trust. Just because my mother died hours after me being born doesn’t mean that I don’t miss her every single day. I know I screwed up. And I’m being punished for it now, deservedly so. But think about the people who you’ve loved and lost. Wouldn’t you do everything in your power to make sure that they weren’t forgotten? There must be something you can do.

Trina: We were so close to getting past this, but you just can’t help yourself, can you?

Cameron: Okay, let’s just take a moment right now. I understand —

Trina: I didn’t realize you were taking a course on mediation, Cam.

Cameron: None of my business?

Trina: Mm.

Josslyn: Am I wrong for defending my friends?

Trina: No, you’re not wrong, but it doesn’t make it any better when you say there are certain things you won’t apologize for after saying you’re sorry.

Josslyn: Trina, I’m trying my best here. We all lose it sometimes. Like you did at the cabin.

Trina: Oh, my gosh, apologies aren’t transactional. You made my feelings for Spencer part of “the Josslyn Jacks show.”

Josslyn: That was Esme, not me.

Trina: It’s always Esme, isn’t it? Can’t you just take responsibility for making things worse? Can you, for once in your life, think about what I’m going through?

Esme: My, my. You can cut the tension with a knife, can’t you?

Nikolas: Spencer’s loved, Courtney. Maybe I need to remind him of that more often.

Sonny: [ Groans ] Okay, Courtney, I’m sorry. I should — I know I should have been nicer, but I think… that’s what Nikolas needed, and that’s what Spencer needs. And I’m gonna — I’m gonna — I’m gonna look out for your boy, just like I trust that you keep an eye on… my dad, Morgan, Jason. And Brando and Sasha’s baby boy.

Sasha: I love you.

Brando: I love you, too.

Sasha: That was good.

Brando: Mm.

Sasha: Better than good.

Brando: Mm-hmm. Mm, like the first time. [ Sighs, chuckles ]

Sasha: Yeah, except – except in a bed this time.

[ Both chuckle ]

Sasha: Instead of the backseat of a car you were working on.

Brando: Yeah, yeah. Well, there is that. [ Sighs ]

Sasha: I’ll trade my pillow mint for your thoughts.

Brando: Oh. I was thinking. It’s been a while since we’ve been with each other. Not since…

Sasha: well, let’s not wait so long next time. [ Chuckles ] I’ll be right back.

[ Water rushing in distance ]

Brando: Hi.

Sasha: Wait. Don’t move. I want to take a mental picture of this. It’s beautiful.

Brando: Oh, the — the view?

Sasha: Mm, that too.

Cameron: Best to stay out of this, Esme.

Trina: I should go.

Josslyn: Wait. What if I ditch class and we can talk?

Trina: I’m all talked out. Maybe another time.

Josslyn: Well, text me. I’ll always answer.

Cameron: Trina… for what it’s worth, I’m very sorry.

Trina: Thanks.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Esme: Trina.

Trina: I really don’t want to hear from you, Esme.

Esme: [ Sighs ] Don’t worry, Trina. You’re probably never gonna hear from any of us soon enough.

Nikolas: You holding up okay?

Carly: Are you?

Nikolas: I should join my lovely wife. Take care, Carly. Courtney would have loved what you’ve done with the place. What it’s become. I’m sorry that I’ve never told you that before.

Carly: Thank you. You just missed your mother.

Nikolas: Oh, yeah? What did she have to say?

Carly: No, I-I didn’t get to say anything to her but hello, but she did seem to be getting into it with Ava and Victor.

Drew: You really think that Victor had something to do with Luke’s death?

Laura: We don’t have proof. We only have circumstantial evidence.

Anna: But we — we all believe that he’s been planning something for months. So what if Luke stumbled upon it, and then Victor would only have one way to stop Luke?

Drew: But, I mean, I-I barely even knew Luke. So — so how would he have come across something that relates to me?

Laura: Crichton-Clark, Helena, Victor, the Ice Princess?

Anna: The common threads is the Cassadines. But we can’t stop Victor until we have proof.

Drew: There’s like dozens of people died in that crash in Innsbruck, dozens.

Anna: And the only way for us to prove that Victor is responsible is to go to Austria.

Laura: You’ve got to tread very carefully. That was deemed an accident.

Anna: Right.

Laura: If you reopen the investigation, it’s going to let Victor know that we’re on to him.

Anna: Yes.

Sam: You know, there is another way to find out what Victor wants.

Sasha: It’s so beautiful here, so peaceful. [ Sighs ] I really don’t want to go back to the real world. I never want this trip to end.

Brando: Yeah, I wish I could give you that. But what I can try to do is make the real world just as special.

Sasha: Mm-hmm?

Brando: Mm-hmm.

Sasha: And how do you plan on doing that?

Brando: By planning to spend the rest of my life with you.

Sasha: Let’s do it.

Brando: Do what?

Sasha: Let’s get married. Today.

Sam: Something in your past motivated Victor to help Peter escape.

Anna: And Peter misled Victor, right? But now Peter’s dead.

Laura: Anna, is it possible that Victor could have gotten access to Andre Maddox and questioned him about Drew’s memories?

Anna: I don’t know, but I can contact Andre for sure. I-I’m confident that he would never reveal that kind of information, and certainly not to someone like Victor.

Drew: So Victor still believes that he can access my memories.

Sam: Exactly. So what if we set a trap for Victor by convincing him it’s possible?

Victor: No, no, no further action from Anna or Drew with regards to our connection to Peter August. But [Sighs] I fear this is only the calm before the storm.

Nikolas: Starting without me?

Ava: Mm-hmm. Never too early to keep celebrating Peter’s demise.

Nikolas: [ Chuckles ] Amen to that. [ Chuckles ] Carly…just told me that she saw you and my mother having a pretty intense conversation. [ Breathes deeply ] What was that about? [ Sighs ]

Ava: Oh, we were just gossiping about you. Every once in a while, Laura needs a little reassurance that I’m taking very good care of you.

Nikolas: Had nothing to do with my uncle?

Ava: No, I told her that I had a nice conversation with him.

Nikolas: Really?

Ava: Yeah. And I’m making more of an effort with Victor.

Nikolas: [ Sighs ] I’m making more of an effort with Spencer. Not having much luck.

Ava: And you will keep trying until you do. In the meantime, since your uncle wants to be closer with you, what do you say we invite Victor to dinner?

Spencer: Hello, mother. Sorry I was late this year. [ Sighs ] I see that someone beat me to it. I’m glad that you weren’t alone.

Trina: Spencer? What are you doing out of Spring Ridge?

Professor Khan: Despite having been born nearly a generation apart, Locke and Rousseau shared similar ideas about free will and a social contract. Locke and Rousseau were not considered criminologists.

Cameron: You okay?

Josslyn: Who is being stubborn, me or Trina?

Professor Khan: However, in their social contract with society, they believed that an individual…

Cameron: Maybe neither.

Professor Khan: …enter the contract…

Cameron: I mean you both had great points.

Professor Khan: …giving up their rights…

Josslyn: No, no, I need to find her.

Professor Khan: …to act in their own self-interest.

Josslyn: And I need to apologize again before we start fighting.

Professor Khan: In fact, it was Jerem Bentham who devised the roles of imprisonment and incarceration. Bentham understood that punishment should be used sparingly, and he also understood that happiness was when the greatest good was shared by the greatest number. However, as Bentham said—

[ Cellphones, computers chiming ]

Professor Khan: Alright, alright. Exactly what is more important than Jeremy Bentham?

Male student: See for yourself.

[ Students murmuring ]

[ Gasping, laughter ]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Anna: What is taking them so long? It’s almost dawn, and they’re still not home. Tony? Oh, tony. Thank god you’re home. Oh, golly, I’ve been so worried. Are you all right? Let me look at you.

Tony: Yeah, I’m fine. Kristen got away, but chad and i were able to bring abigail, steve, and kayla safely home.

Anna: Oh, well, that’s wonderful news. I have to admit, I had a queasy feeling when I heard where you were headed.

Tony: Yeah, that island does hold some history.

Anna: Yes. Especially since it’s where you and renee dumonde had your romantic idyll.

Tony: Oh. [Laughs] That was a lifetime ago.

Anna: Yes, yes. Of course it was, and it’s silly of me to even bring it up, especially since we know that woman is long dead.

Tony: Actually… renee was there.

Sarah as renee: Why am i being held in this hospital against my will?

Kayla: We just want to run some tests.

Sarah as renee: And as I told you, there is no need for tests. I switched out the poison with goat’s milk.

Steve: Yeah, so you said.

Sarah as renee: And you both ate it, and you’re fine, so there was nothing wrong with that chicken.

Steve: This isn’t about the chicken, sarah.

Sarah as renee: Stop calling me sarah!

Ava: Oh… those three losers who framed rafe better not have ratted me out.

Chad: Hello, ava.

Ava: Chad dimera. What are you doing here?

Chad: I’m here to find out why you kidnapped my wife and who helped you do it.

[Soft mysterious music]

[Knocking on door]

Gwen: Xander, there’s someone at the door.

Xander: Hmm? Oh, bloody hell. I’ll get rid of whoever it is. You better have a damn good reason for waking us up at this hour. Abigail. What are you doing here?

Abigail: I came straight from the plane to tell you the truth about what gwen did to me.

Anna: I don’t understand. We both know that renee dumonde died years ago.

Tony: That’s right.

Anna: But you just said–

Tony: What I said was that renee was on the island. What I meant was “renee.”

Anna: Okay. Now I’m totally lost.

Tony: Well, you see, she is renee, ’cause that’s what she calls herself.

Anna: But she’s not renee?

Tony: No, but she actually believes that she is.

Anna: All right. Well, then who is she really?

Tony: Sarah horton.

Sarah as renee: Again with this sarah nonsense.

Kayla: It’s not nonsense. It’s who you are, and the only reason that you think it’s not who you are is because of the drug that you were injected with last year.

Sarah as renee: How could a drug make me think that I am someone else?

Steve: We’re not sure yet.

Kayla: That’s why we need to do an mri and a ct scan, so that we can see if there’s any lasting damage to your brain.

Sarah as renee: I can assure you that my brain is not damaged. Now, I’d like to get home to tony and my long-lost brother chad.

Ava: I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. I don’t even know your wife.

Chad: Well, the police believe otherwise.

Ava: Oh, so that’s why I’m here. They think I kidnapped abigail and did what with her?

Chad: Locked her away on a deserted island, where I just found her.

Ava: And you think I brought her there?

Chad: Maybe not personally, but you were masquerading as sarah horton at the airfield when abigail was knocked out.

Ava: I didn’t lay a hand on her.

Chad: Maybe not, but someone hit her from behind, knocked her unconscious, and you were there. So who was it, ava? Who was helping you?

Ava: Abigail, you don’t have to do that.

Abigail: Oh, I think I do. What am I supposed to do? Just let you walk away–

Chad: You can sit and act innocent, but I’m not leaving here until you identify your accomplice.

Gwen: Xander, don’t listen to her. You know she would do anything to hurt me.

Abigail: Oh, I would do anything to hurt you?

Xander: What’s this all about, abigail?

Abigail: She’s been lying to you, xander, and I have proof. The pilot ratted her out.

Xander: Pilot? What pilot?

Abigail: You didn’t want him to know the truth about what really happened to sarah, because you knew he would dump you so fast.

Xander: Sarah? What does this have to do with sarah?

Gwen: Nothing, nothing. Don’t–don’t believe her.

Abigail: Sarah has been held prisoner on a deserted island for the past year.

Xander: What?

Abigail: And gwen has known about it for months.

Gwen: Xander, I can explain.

Xander: How could you do this? How could you do this to me! What’s going on, gwen? You all right?

Jennifer: It’s 9:00, jack.

Jack: I know. I know. You know why I know? Because you told me it’s 8:45 about ten minutes ago.

Jennifer: Yes, but it landed an hour ago, so what is happening?

Abigail: Mom?

Jennifer: Where–abigail!

Jack: Oh, she’s here!

Jennifer: Oh, my gosh, baby.

Jack: Sweetheart. Oh, you made it home.

Jennifer: So glad you’re okay.

Jack: Yes.

Jennifer: Let me look at you. Are you okay?

Jack: Oh, my gosh. Are you hurt? Is–

Abigail: No.

Jack: Is everything okay?

Abigail: I’m fine. I’m fine. I just thank god chad found me and brought me home.

Jennifer: Where is chad?

Abigail: He went to go confront my kidnapper.

Ava: As I told your wife on the runway, the mask was just a harmless prank.

Chad: Let’s say that’s true. You still stood there and did nothing while someone knocked out my wife and dragged her onto that plane. Now, who was it?

Ava: I’m sorry. I can’t answer your question.

Chad: You can, but you don’t want to. Yet. You know, my brother and I–we talked to ned granger.

Ava: Ned granger?

Chad: He was the one who told us where abigail was, because he was the one that flew her there.

Ava: Okay.

Chad: And he said that kristen was there when they arrived on the island, so she’s not the one that knocked her out.

Ava: Like I said, I’m sorry, but I cannot answer your question.

Chad: Then you’re just gonna have to answer to the police.

Ava: I haven’t committed a crime.

Chad: How about accessory to kidnapping?

Ava: I had nothing to do with it.

Chad: Okay. I know all about your past. These crimes might seem meaningless to you, but this is about my wife. You understand? The mother of my children. And I’m gonna make damn sure that someone pays for what they did to her. But it doesn’t have to be you. You can walk out of here with a slap on the wrist. All you have to do is turn on your partner.

Gwen: Bad dream.

Xander: I’ll say. Do you remember what it was about this time?

Gwen: This time?

Xander: Gwen, it’s been happening to you quite a lot recently–I mean, waking up in a cold sweat, pale as a sheet.

Gwen: Yeah, I suppose it has been happening more, from time to time, hasn’t it?

Xander: And this time, would it maybe help to talk about it?

Gwen: Maybe. It was about dr. Snyder.

Xander: Snyder? I haven’t thought that swine for a minute. No wonder you’re so rattled.

Gwen: Yeah. It was terrifying actually. We had just thrown him down, in the lake, and his body sank, but then his body rose up, and–

Xander: And what?

Gwen: And… well, he started yelling at me, and he was telling me that I am the scum of the earth, and he told me that you didn’t really love me. He said that you were just using me to get over sarah. You were there, too, and confirmed it.

Xander: Oh, gwen. I hope your subconscious didn’t come up with this dream because you doubt my feelings for you.

Gwen: I don’t know why I had the dream. All I know is that it scared me half to bloody death.

Xander: Do you know what i dreamed about last night?

Gwen: No. How could I?

Xander: I dreamed that you and I were married, and we had four kids–two boys, two girls–all with your great, big, gorgeous eyes.

Gwen: Really?

Xander: A lovely house. White picket fence. A golden retriever called dumpling.

Gwen: Dumpling?

Xander: And you were telling me that you’d just been voted wife and mother of the year.

Gwen: Did I? Well, lucky me. Really? Did I say who said it?

Xander: No, no, no. You didn’t say, and I didn’t ask, but you were very pleased with yourself, understandably, and I was incredibly proud of you.

Gwen: You didn’t dream that, did you?

Xander: No, I didn’t, but I daydream about it all the time.

Gwen: Well, that’s very lovely.

Xander: Gwen, do I have to remind you we’re getting married soon? Would that be happening if I didn’t adore you and want to spend the rest of my life with you?

Gwen: No. Of course not. I know that your feelings for me are genuine. I know that you love me, and I cannot wait to be your wife.

Xander: But then why all these bad dreams, hmm? Unless–

Gwen: Unless what?

Xander: Are you nervous about abigail coming home?

Gwen: Why would I be nervous about it?

Xander: I don’t know. You tell me.

Kayla: I know that this is a lot to process, but chad is not your brother, and you are not a dimera. Your name is sarah horton, and I can prove it.

Sarah as renee: Please let me out of here.

Kayla: I can’t do that.

Sarah as renee: Why not?

Kayla: Because there are a lot of family and friends who love you and miss you. Please let us do these tests, okay? I am confident that I can come up with a treatment plan for you. Abigail recovered from a very similar condition, and so can you.

Steve: Kayla’s right, and we want to help you any way we can.

Sarah as renee: Okay.

Kayla: Really?

Sarah as renee: Yeah. Whatever’s going on with me, I want to know the truth about my life, so run the tests.

Kayla: Great. I think you’re making a wise decision, and I’ll set them up.

Steve: And I’ll let you get some rest. You hang in there, okay?

Sarah as renee: Thank you. Thank you both.

Kayla: Okay. I’ll be back.

[Pensive electronic music]

Your mission:

Jack: So ava vitali was under the mask?

Abigail: She was the one who’s been masquerading as sarah.

Jennifer: Why would she do that?

Abigail: She claimed that it was a prank. Of course, I knew it was more than that, and I told her so, but when I did that, next thing I know, someone came up behind me and just conked me over the back of the head.

Jennifer: What?

Jack: Do you know who it was?

Abigail: No, but chad’s with ava now, and he’s determined to find out.

Ava: If I give you a name, you think I just get to walk?

Chad: Well, you know how this goes. The da isn’t interested in the accomplice. They’re gonna want the big fish.

Ava: So all of a sudden, you’re an expert in knowing what the da wants?

Chad: Well, my wife is the victim, and my name happens to have a lot of pull in this town, so I can talk to trask and convince her to offer you a deal.

Ava: You have no way of knowing that she’s gonna say yes.

Chad: And what’s your alternative, ava? Hmm? I mean, I know whoever knocked abby out and dragged her onto that plane is the real culprit. Why would you want to go down for someone else’s crime?

Steve: Yeah, at least everyone’s safe. Okay, I’ll let you know if there’s anything else to report. I’ll talk to you soon. Yeah.

[Cell phone beeps]

Kayla: Was that maggie?

Steve: No, brady. I was waiting to call maggie until we get sarah’s test results.

Kayla: Well, that makes sense.

Steve: Hopefully, we’ll be able to give her some good news.

Kayla: Well, the tech is ready, so I’m gonna go pick her up and bring her down for imaging.

Xander: Hey, I understand. I know you’re still not on the best of terms with your sister.

Gwen: Yeah, you could say that.

Xander: Yeah. You were very upset when she accused you of pretending to be sarah and rejecting me again.

Gwen: Yes. That was quite hurtful.

Xander: But she, and jack, and everyone else now knows that it couldn’t have been you, so–

Gwen: No, of course not, because I was there, in the square, when sarah and abigail were together.

Xander: Exactly. You know, and in the end, it all worked out for the best anyway, didn’t it? I mean, sarah coming back here gave me the closure I needed, and I can’t say I particularly enjoyed being rejected again, but it reminded me that I’m finished with her too.

Gwen: Which is why you proposed to me.

Xander: Because you and i belong together, gwen, and now there’s nothing gonna get in the way of us being mr. And mrs. Xander cook.

Kayla: Okay, sarah. Everything’s set up.

[Quiet dramatic music]

Anna: So sarah is still convinced she’s renee?

Tony: Yes, and not only that, she’s acting like she’s madly in love with me and that she wants to pick up from where we left off all those years ago.

Anna: That’s absurd. You tried to set her straight, I hope?

Tony: Well, of course I did, but nothing I said made a dent. She’s stuck in this emotional delusion.

Anna: Oh, the poor thing. Well, where is she now?

Tony: Steve and kayla took her to the hospital to get some tests. Hopefully, they’ve gotten through to her by now.

Anna: Hopefully is right.

Tony: Well, she’ll just have to accept that you are my one and only love of my life.

Sarah as renee: Get your hands off my tony.

Tackling tough messes can

take more time than you have,

Ava: You make a compelling pitch, but I think I’m gonna take my chances. If the cops had anything on me, they’d have already arrested me.

Chad: Well, they had enough to drag you down here.

Ava: They’ll have to let me go soon.

Chad: I would not count on that. At the very least, you’re a witness and a person of interest in a kidnapping.

Ava: Oh, I’m always a person of interest. I’m used to that.

Chad: Well, you enjoy your quiet time, then, but if things do take a turn, and you decide you don’t want to go to prison, give me a call.

[Tense music]

Gwen: You know, I never did ask you why you go by cook and not kiriakis.

Xander: Oh, well, I ditched my birth name a little while ago. Complicated family history.

Gwen: I like cook.

Xander: It is a lot easier to spell than rizczech, but you don’t have to take it, if you don’t want to. Or maybe you could do, like, a hyphenate or–

Gwen: Gwen cook sounds absolutely perfect to me.

Xander: Me too. Mrs. Gwendolyn cook.

[Cell phone beeps]

[Cell phone rings] Who’s calling at this ungodly hour?

Gwen: I can’t imagine. Hello?

Ava: I need to see you right now. Get your ass down to the police station.

Abigail: No news from chad yet.

Jennifer: Well, he’ll get some answers. The important thing is, you’re safe. You’re not hurt. Everybody’s fine.

Jack: Although I’m sure it was terrifying.

Abigail: It was. Gosh, but I’m just so damn grateful to be back. And thank you both for staying on just to take care of thomas and charlotte.

Jennifer: Oh, honey, it was our pleasure.

Jack: Yeah.

Jennifer: Please.

Abigail: I mean, the kids being with the two of you, I bet they hardly missed me at all.

Jennifer: Oh.

Jack: Oh, no. Like, every five minutes, it’S… “when’s mommy coming home?”

Jennifer: “Where’s our mom? Where’s mommy?”

Abigail: Well, now that I am home, as much as I have missed having you here, I guess you can go back to boston.

Jack: Okay. Well, we know “the spectator’s” in good hands with you, and both your mother and i would like to tell you how proud we are of what a good writer and good journalist you’ve become.

Abigail: Thanks, dad. And I have you and mom to thank, just for being my role models, and for inspiring me, and yeah. And I guess I have my next big story.

Jack: Oh, do you? What is it?

Abigail: The kidnapping of sarah horton.

Jennifer: The kidnapping?

Abigail: Yes. She was on that miserable island too.

Jack: Sarah was there?

Abigail: Yeah. Kristen had been keeping her captive there since her wedding last year.

Jack: So xander was right. Sarah was in trouble.

Abigail: She sure as hell was. Yeah, and then I just accidentally stumbled upon the fact that it was kristen masquerading as sarah who actually broke it off with xander.

Jack: And not sarah?

Abigail: Not sarah. Mm-mm. Which is, of course, so terribly sad and, you know, not just because it wasn’t sarah who broke xander’s heart, but then poor woman ends up being kristen’s prisoner for months and doesn’t even know where the hell she was.

Jack: Kristen’s a sadistic maniac.

Abigail: And unfortunately, she’s never gonna pay for this crime, just like she hasn’t for so many others, because I’m sure it’ll come as a shock, but she got away.

Jennifer: Of course. She is sadistic and very clever.

Abigail: In the worst possible way.

Jack: But sarah’s alive and well?

Abigail: Alive, yes. Well, not so much.

Steve: We should have known she was playing us. We never should have left her alone.

Kayla: Well, she had us both fooled.

Steve: Well, she couldn’t have gotten too far.

[Cell phone beeps]

Kayla: Sorry. Dr. Johnson. Oh. Okay, thank you.

[Cell phone beeps] That was the head of hospital security.

Steve: They find sarah?

Kayla: No, but they did catch her on the security cameras leaving the hospital.

Steve: Give you three guesses where she went. The first two don’t count.

Sarah as renee: Did you hear me, anna? Step away from my tony.

Anna: I’m sorry, sweetheart, but this is my tony. I understand that you’re confused, but tony and I love each other.

Sarah as renee: He would have never even looked at you twice if he knew I was alive.

Tony: Okay, can we please just take a step back?

Sarah as renee: Your marriage is a sham, anna. You probably tricked him into it.

Anna: What are we gonna do about this person?

Tony: Let’s just try to keep her calm. I’ll call kayla.

Sarah as renee: You are not calling kayla, and I am not going to be calm while this tramp tries to steal my life!

Anna: Tramp? Excuse me.

Tony: That’s uncalled for.

Sarah as renee: Well, it’s the truth, so get your hands off of my man, pack your bags, and get the hell out of my family home! Life’s been hard enough.

Anna: I’m trying very hard to be patient with you because I understand that you’re ill, but I’m not going anywhere. This is my home.

Sarah as renee: Really? Is that your father on the wall? I didn’t think so.

Anna: Well, he’s not yours either. Tony?

Tony: Listen.

Sarah as renee: Hello, daddy. I’ve missed you.

Anna: Do something.

Sarah as renee: You know what you can do, tony, is tell this washed-up floozy to hit the bricks.

Anna: You know, that’s enough. If anyone’s going anywhere, it’s you.

Sarah as renee: Over my dead body.

Anna: Well, that can be arranged.

Gwen: It’s a bit early, don’t you think?

Ava: Well, it’s not my fault the cops hauled me down here before I even had my morning coffee. You alone?

Gwen: No, I’m not. What’s up?

Ava: Well, what’s up is that I am being held for questioning in connection with the abduction of abigail dimera.

Gwen: No kidding.

Ava: Yeah, no kidding, and chad was just in here grilling me about who I saw hitting his wife over the head.

Gwen: Okay.

Ava: Okay, so if you’re not down here in the next ten minutes, your name’s gonna come up in conversation… a lot. As in, “gwen hit abigail over the head.” You understand?

Gwen: Mm-hmm. Yep. Right. I will be there as soon as I can. Okay, bye.

[Cell phone beeps]

Xander: Wait? What’s going on? Who was that?

Gwen: That was the wedding planner that I reached out to.

Xander: It’s a bit early for a call, isn’t it?

Gwen: Yes. I know, but that’s what is the best thing about her. Early bird and all. I think I’m actually gonna pop round and go see her.

Xander: What? Now?

Gwen: Yeah. She had a cancellation this morning, so–

Xander: Well, do you want me to come with you?

Gwen: No. I’ll just go take the meeting, and we’ll see how it goes, okay?

[Drum music crescendos]

Jack: So sarah is–

Abigail: She’s not in her right mind.

Jennifer: That poor girl.

Abigail: It’s so sad. It’s heartbreaking, really, and, you know, obviously, I can relate, so–

Jennifer: Yes, of course you can.

Abigail: Anyway, it’s also a really difficult situation for tony, because god only knows why, because of sarah’s delusion, she believes, for some reason, that she’s tony’s old flame, renee dumonde.

Jack: How strange.

Abigail: So strange. It’s strange, complicated, especially because sarah, aka renee, is madly in love with him.

Anna: Let me at her!

Tony: That’s enough!

Sarah as renee: You can’t–

Tony: Both of you!

Sarah as renee: You keep her away from me, tony.

Tony: Listen to me, renee.

Anna: Renee? Now you’re calling her renee?

Tony: It’s the only way she’ll respond.

Anna: Has the world gone mad?

Tony: No need for any insults or threats. We need to act like adults, civilized, sane people, so that we can be able to work this thing through.

Anna: Only one of us is sane here.

Tony: Will you please, for my sake?

Sarah as renee: All right. I’m sorry, tony. I will calm down, for your sake. I’m sorry.

Kayla: Oh, there you are, sarah.

Anna: Oh, thank god you’re here. Did you bring the men in white coats with you?

Steve: What’s going on?

Anna: What’s going on is this deranged woman crashed in here and attacked me. Please take her back to the hospital, where she belongs.

Trelegy for copd.

Kayla: Why don’t we get you back to the hospital and take care of those tests?

Sarah as renee: No thanks. Not going.

Anna: Please, kayla, can’t you do something about this?

Kayla: I can’t force her.

Anna: Why not?

Sarah as renee: Because it’s a free country.

Kayla: And she’s not endangering anyone.

Anna: She almost attacked me, before you got here.

Sarah as renee: No. You attacked me, so, kayla, steve, why don’t you take her to the hospital and get her anger issues checked out, while I go freshen up?

Tony: Kayla, is there nothing else you can do?

Kayla: If she won’t submit to the tests, I mean, we could get a court order, but–

Tony: What are we supposed to do until then?

Kayla: Keep her safe.

Tony: Steve!

Steve: For now, until we can figure something out.

Anna: You are not seriously suggesting that we’d let her live here.

Kayla: Well, at least then we would know where she is. I’m sorry. If you need anything else, please don’t hesitate to call us.

Anna: Anything else? You haven’t done anything.

Tony: I’ll be in touch.

Sarah as renee: These have to go.

Anna: Keep your hands off. You’re not actually going to let her stay here.

Sarah as renee: Well, he’s not letting me do anything. It’s my family home, is it not, tony?

Tony: You can stay, for now.

Anna: Well, I’m not going anywhere either. Tony and I are husband and wife.

Sarah as renee: You were husband and wife. Tony, you need to be liberated from this horrible woman.

Anna: Liberated?

Sarah as renee: I’m gonna hire you the best lawyer in town. I’m gonna see if I can get in touch with don craig and get you out of this nightmare of a marriage.

Anna: Tony and I are very happily married, and don craig went out to mail a letter one day, and we never heard from him again.

Sarah as renee: Well, I’ll find someone, and when I do, if you don’t leave, I will have you forcibly removed.

Tony: I don’t think so.

Sarah as renee: Don’t worry. Renee is gonna take care of everything.

[Dramatic music]

God, it’s good to be home.

Chad: Hey, jack.

Jack: Chad, abigail’s waiting to hear from you. Listen, I owe you so much. We so appreciate everything you and tony did to bring our girl home.

Chad: I’m just happy that she’s okay. No injuries. A little bit traumatized, but abby’s resilient, so she’s gonna be okay.

Jack: Yeah, of course she is, and listen, she told us all about sarah. What happened to that girl. That hell. Actually, I was just about to call xander, let him know what happened and tell him that sarah didn’t leave him voluntarily.

Chad: Well, I’m sure he’ll be very happy to hear that.

Jack: He will. He will. Although–

Chad: Although what?

Jack: Xander’s getting married.

Chad: To gwen?

Ava: Is this supposed to be some sort of disguise?

Gwen: I’m trying not to call too much attention to myself.

Ava: By dressing like a snowman?

Gwen: Oh, god. I can’t believe that you made me come down here.

Ava: Oh, well, you just want me to sit at the station and rot?

Gwen: You know that I am not supposed to be seen with you.

Ava: Oh, believe me, gwen. That is the least of your problems.

[Cell phone rings]

Xander: The little birds are chirping this morning. Oh, it’s jack.

[Cell phone beeps] Morning, mate.

Jack: Xander, hey. Listen, I’m sorry to call so early, but abigail just got back.

Xander: Oh, that is just wonderful news, jack. I knew she was on her way home, but now that she’s back safe, thank god. You and jennifer must be thrilled.

Jack: We are, but you need to know that sarah was there too.

Xander: Sarah was where?

Jack: On the island with abigail.

Xander: I don’t understand.

Jack: Listen, do you remember the day of your wedding, a year ago? You got a call from susan banks at the pub. She said that she saw sarah going upstairs with rex.

Xander: Yeah, how could I not remember that?

Jack: That was actually kristen.

Xander: Yeah, jack. I know it was.

Jack: What you don’t know is that kristen didn’t only impersonate susan banks. She also impersonated sarah.

Xander: What?

Jack: The woman that you saw in bed with rex, the woman who broke up with you, was kristen in a sarah mask.

Xander: Oh, my god. No! But I–oh, my god.

Jack: I’m sorry to tell you like this.

Xander: No, but wait, wait, wait. What about when sarah came back to salem to visit maggie? That was kristen too?

Jack: No, no. Believe it or not, that was ava vitali.

Xander: Well, no, I don’t believe it, jack. It’s too insane. It can’t be true.

Jack: I’m afraid it is. Abigail confirmed it.

Xander: Where is sarah now? Where is she, jack?

Jack: They’re taking her to the hospital.

Xander: I have to go find her. I have to see her. I have to–[Cell phone beeps].

Jack: Wait. Before you do that, there’s one more thing you need to know. You–xander? Hello?

Jennifer: Oh, you are our hero. We can’t thank you enough.

Chad: No. Are you kidding me? Seeing the kids’ faces when abby tucks ’em in at night is all the thanks I need.

Jennifer: They missed their mama so much.

Abigail: Not as much as they would have missed me if it weren’t for grandma and grandpa being here.

Jennifer: Well, they were a comfort to us. Trust me. I’m gonna go check on g-pa right now.

Chad: How you doing, baby? Tired? You want some rest? What can I do for you?

Abigail: Not a thing. I’m too wound up to be tired. How’d it go with ava?

Chad: She stonewalled me. No surprise there, but I could tell that she was panicked. I mean, we know she didn’t assault you, but given her track record, trask shouldn’t have a hard time getting those aiding and abetting charges to stick.

Abigail: Right, so if she wants to save her own neck, there’s only one way to do it.

Chad: That’s to name her accomplice.

Gwen: You’re not gonna rat me out, are you?

Ava: You know, despite committing my fair share of crimes, I’ve managed to stay out of prison for most of my life. I’m not getting locked up for this.

Gwen: What are you saying?

Ava: What I’m saying is, if I do get arrested, the only way out may be to give them a name, so I’m gonna ask you one simple question. Why shouldn’t I sacrifice you to save myself?

Jennifer: How did xander take the news?

Jack: Stunned, but he’s gonna be even more stunned when he hears the whole story.

Jennifer: You didn’t tell him, jack?

Jack: I tried, but he hung up before I could. I mean, he wanted to go find her. He was gonna run off, and I told him that she was at the hospital.

Jennifer: Right, but he knows that the real sarah didn’t reject him, right?

Jack: Right. He knows that, but he doesn’t know that the real sarah considers herself to be tony’s late inamorata, renee dumonde.

Tony: I’m so sorry. I’m sorry you had to go through this, darling.

Anna: Don’t you “darling” me. You were playing along with that girl’s delusions.

Tony: Anna, please. Can we have a little compassion? Sarah is mentally ill. What she needs right now is some kindness.

Anna: Oh, really? Well, what if treating a crazy woman with kindness drives your sane wife crazy?

[Eerie music]

Sarah as renee: Tom and alice horton. Long time no see. You know, everyone keeps trying to tell me that I’m your granddaughter sarah, but I’m not. I’m renee dumonde, and I’m here to take my life back, and to finally be with the man I love.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Thomas: My family should thank you? You are the reason that my mother and father are back together?

Sheila: Is it really so hard to believe that I could do something good?

Thomas: You haven’t done a single good thing in your whole life, sheila.

Sheila: Wh– you don’t know. You have no idea.

Thomas: You know, you’re right. I don’t know. I don’t know why you would think that we would welcome you with open arms. You need to leave. Okay? Stay away from my family. Stay away from steffy. Stay away from finn. Stay away from the kids. Okay, we don’t need you coming back into our family and screwing it up.

Sheila: Oh, don’t you dare! The arrogance. What, you– you just think that this happened out of the blue? That after all these years of your mother playing second fiddle to brooke, that her luck miraculously changed? Your family is reunited because of me.

Ridge: You know, people are going to talk, right?

Taylor: Mm.

Ridge: Say things that they shouldn’T.

Taylor: Yeah, thank you, thomas.

[ Sighs ]

Taylor: I know you don’t want gossip about us getting back to brooke and hurting her.

Ridge: Or you, or the kids. We’re still trying to figure this out. One moment at a time.

Ridge: Right.

Taylor: Yeah. But sooner or later, people are going to hear about you and brooke.

Max: Ridge.

Ridge: Hey.

Max: Taylor.

Taylor: Hi.

Max: Hey. I heard something’s going on between you and brooke. You okay?

Bill: Thank you.

[ Clears throat ]

Wyatt: So apparently, there’s trouble in paradise with ridge and brooke?

Bill: Hah! Well, that’s no surprise.

Liam: Yeah, well, before you lay it all on deacon, just know that brooke has taken responsibility for it.

Bill: That doesn’t surprise me either. Whenever things go bad, brooke takes the blame. Like it’s her fault that forrester can’t stick around, tough things out. Just a matter of time before he pushed the eject button and bailed. The guy’s never made brooke happy, and he never will.

Liam: Yeah, well, you’re right about one thing, brooke is not– she’s not happy. I mean, and as someone who’s been living on the property, I can tell you what a toll this is taking on her.

Brooke: Oh, I hate this feeling. What if there’s nothing to do to make it right? What if I just have to accept it?

Hope: And just let ridge be with taylor?

Brooke: If she’s going to make him happy, yeah.

Hope: Mom, come on, you can’t just let ridge walk away from your marriage like that.

Brooke: Honey, what else can I do? I have hurt him. I have let him down. I’ve betrayed his trust again and again. I mean, maybe it’s time to just stop. Set him free.

[ Sighs ]

Bill: Ridge can’t really believe that brooke wants to be with that two-bit convict, deacon. No, it’s just an excuse to race back to taylor.

Liam: I– I don’t think that’s how it happened, exactly. But—

Bill: What are you talking about, liam? Right? Ridge gets exactly what he wants and brooke gets to feel terrible about it.

Wyatt: Well, things were a little rocky between ridge and brooke before taylor even showed up.

Bill: When aren’t things rocky between those two?

Wyatt: Really? I mean, it’s coming from you?

Bill: All right. All I’m saying is, wise guys, brooke deserves a whole lot more than she’s ever gotten from ridge.

Ridge: Oh, max, is that the, uh…

Max: Milan proposal.

Ridge: Already? Seriously. Wow.

Max: Come on. Ridge forrester asks for a favour…

Ridge: But this is fast, even for you. I appreciate it.

Max: Well, speaking of favours…

Ridge: Ah, okay, here it is. What do you need? What can I do?

Max: Bikini.

Ridge: Well, I don’t know if we have anything in your size, but I’ll– I’ll–

Max: No, no, the guys are going out to bikini tonight. I’m trying to get carter to come out. You think you can get in his ear and convince him?

Ridge: Ah, I’ll see what I can do.

Max: Alright appreciate it. I’ll let you two get back to it.

Ridge: Okay.

Max: Seriously, you and brooke, everything…

Ridge: It’s fine. Let it go.

Max: You sure?

Ridge: Yeah.

Max: All right. Okay, man. All right.

Ridge: Thank you. Told you. They’re going to speculate.

Taylor: Yeah, you can’t stop that.

Ridge: No, but I don’t want it getting back to brooke or impacting you in any way.

Taylor: I know. I’ll be fine.

Ridge: Brooke isn’T.

Taylor: I know. I know you’re worried about her. Please don’t feel bad about caring. It’s one of your best qualities. One of them.

Hope: Mom, if you want this to be over that’s one thing–

Brooke: Ah, I don’T. Are you kidding me? I can’t even imagine a life without ridge.

Hope: Well, then how can you even think about giving up? Because you know that won’t make you happy. I mean, at this point, it’s just you punishing yourself.

Brooke: I don’t know how this happened. Ridge and taylor. It didn’t have to be this way.

Thomas: Everybody knows what happened, sheila.

Sheila: Is that so?

Thomas: Yeah, brooke got drunk, she made out with deacon, right? And then she slept in the same bed as him and apparently nothing else happened besides that. But that’s the reason that my parents are spending time together now, okay? So, we don’t owe you a damn thing and you had nothing to do with it.

Sheila: You know what? If you believe that, you are just as delusional as brooke. I mean, all– all her talk about destiny and fate. I had nothing to do with it? Why do you think brooke got drunk in the first place? I got covid in september of 2020, and a few weeks later,

Bill: All forrester’s ever done is let brooke down.

Liam: Yeah, and– and we can see why you’d feel that way.

Bill: Ah, boy, you two. It’s the damn truth.

Wyatt: From your perspective, dad.

Bill: Yeah, “that’s from my perspective,” wyatt

Wyatt: Why? What did I do?

Bill: I am telling it like it is. Forrester is a deadbeat. Just as bad as deacon.

Liam: Oh–

Bill: He’s just never been held accountable.

Liam: Okay. I know. But– but ridge is not the point. Brooke is the point. How much pain she’s in, how devastated she is. That’s the point.

Bill: Okay, number one, I don’t need you to tell me what the point is, liam.

Liam: It’s okay.

Bill: Brooke should be mad as hell. Where does forrester get off making her feel like a failure when he’s the one who quit? Again. That’s the point.

Wyatt: You’re making it sound like she didn’t see this coming.

Liam: Yeah it was touch ‘n go for a minute there, but they thought they were gonna get through it.

Wyatt: What, so brooke wasn’t worried that taylor was coming back at all?

Liam: She wasn’t until steffy and thomas started pressing the issue because obviously, they want their parents back together, stick to family…

Bill: Right. Right. Right. Giving ridge another excuse to bail on brooke. How many times has he left her hanging for taylor? How many times? And now he’s doing it again?

Ridge: Brooke feels like I abandoned her.

Taylor: Yeah, but you didn’T. When she told you about her drinking, you were so there for her.

Ridge: ‘Cause I told her I would be. Be there for her and I’d support her. I don’t understand. I don’T. Why-why is the– the first thing she goes to… lying to me? Why? Why wouldn’t she tell me what’s going on after everything we’ve been through, you’d think we could say anything to each other. Why did any of this happen in the first place?

Hope: You’re allowed to be upset with me, mom. Practically everyone warned me that this would happen.

Brooke: Hope, this is not your fault.

Hope: I brought dad back into our lives. I invited him over for new year’s eve.

Brooke: Honey, I opened the vodka bottle. I insisted your father drink with me. Now, I certainly am not going to blame that on anybody, especially you. It was my decision not to tell ridge the whole truth. I let him down. And because of that, I’ve lost him.

Thomas: You know why brooke got drunk on new year’s eve?

Sheila: I was asking you.

Thomas: No, you implied that you had something to do with it.

Sheila: Don’t put words in my mouth, thomas.

Thomas: I’m not putting words in your mouth. I am listening to what you’re saying. What did you do, sheila? Tell me.

Sheila: I don’t need to tell you anything, thomas. You said it, brooke got drunk, she kissed deacon, you have your family back. And brooke? Brooke got exactly what she deserved. Or should I say, what she ordered?

Thomas: She ordered non-alcoholic champagne.

Sheila: Huh. Non-alcoholic. Really?

Liam: See, hope is just worried that ridge and brooke won’t survive this.

Bill: She should be.

Wyatt: Nice. Very compassionate, dad.

Bill: It’s got nothing to do with compassion, wyatt. It’s a fact. Ridge hit the door the first chance he got.

Wyatt: Yeah, but ridge and brooke have gone through things like this before, and it’s never affected their marriage. Like when they had to deal with the deacon thing.

Liam: Well, that’s right. I mean, that was– that was tough, but they were determined to work through it.

Bill: Until taylor showed up, giving ridge another excuse to bail out.

Liam: Yeah. Here– here’s the thing. Hope thinks that they can get out of this tailspin, if brooke doesn’t give up. And the thing is, that’s a big if because, you know, ridge and brooke have been through a lot over the years, and there’s obviously a limit. You can only weather so many disasters. And hope’s afraid this is the final nail in the coffin. But it’s so weird because they were doing great over the holidays. You know, brooke was excited about new year’s, ridge was doing his best to come home,

Hope: Yeah, but you’re going to meetings, you’re back in recovery.

Brooke: I’m talking about what I did with your father.

[ Sighs ]

Ridge: Maybe that’s a pattern I’m bound to repeat. Maybe… maybe taylor is the right woman for him, after all.

Taylor: I can’t tell you what to do, but I can be here for you while you work through it.

Ridge: I’m glad you are.

Taylor: I know. I know you don’t want to hurt anyone, ridge. Not brooke, not me. And I don’t want to see you hurt, either. But you don’t have to go through this alone. Neither does brooke. You have me and the kids here to support you, and brooke has her family to lean on. I know you want to figure all of this out, but right now, just… just let it breathe. One moment at a time. Okay?

Ridge: Okay.

[ Sighs ]

Sheila: I– I didn’t know you could get drunk on non-alcoholic champagne.

Thomas: You can’T.

Sheila: And yet brooke got drunk, fell into deacon’s arms.

Thomas: Brooke wasn’t lying about the champagne, sheila. Hope was there when it was delivered, it wasn’t the real stuff.

Sheila: I’ll bet she guzzled it right down. I mean, why not? I mean, no booze. Where’s the harm in that?

Thomas: You’re saying there was alcohol in it? You spiked her drink?

Sheila: I wasn’t there, thomas, I– how can I spike someone’s drink when I’m not even in the room?

Thomas: You said that brooke deserved this. You said brooke ordered this. Are you saying that brooke actually drank real champagne? She doesn’t know why she drank that night. Are you saying that she drank alcoholic champagne without realizing it? I’m right, aren’t I? I’ve been telling everyone…

Hope: I don’t believe that ridge is better off with taylor. And neither do you.

Brooke: Ridge does.

Hope: Mm, ridge told me that he loves you and he always will. So, you need to hang on to that. Mom, I don’t want you throwing years and years of your experiences away as if it doesn’t matter. As if his potential with taylor is more important than the life you currently have with him. I invited deacon over for new year’s eve. I am the one who did not see the danger there. I mean, mom, you were so excited to see ridge that night, you were practically giddy about it.

Brooke: Maybe I should have just told him the truth from the beginning.

Hope: So, be honest with him now. Don’t let him just walk away. Go to him. Talk to him. I promise you, it is not too late.

Thomas: It was you. You’re the reason that brooke got drunk.

Sheila: Brooke’s an alcoholic. She fell off the wagon.

Thomas: Sounds like she was pushed off the wagon.

Sheila: You think I drove her into deacon’s arms?

Thomas: Think it was a part of your plan.

Sheila: My plan?

Thomas: Yes. To sabotage the relationship between my dad and brooke, so that they would split up. That’s why I should be thanking you, isn’t it?

[ Phone rings ]

Thomas: It’s my dad.

Sheila: What are you going to tell him?

Thomas: Hey.

Ridge: Hey. Where are you?

Thomas: Uh, something wrong?

Ridge: No, I’m here at the office with your hot mom and we’re thinking of ordering lunch and looking at your designs.

Thomas: You want me to come to the office right now?

Ridge: Yeah, unless you’re busy.

Thomas: Yeah, I’m– I’m sort of in the middle of something. Unscheduled meeting.

Ridge: Oh, an unscheduled meeting, huh? Doesn’t sound like it’s going very well.

Thomas: Came across something unexpected. I need a little bit more time to dig into it.

Ridge: Huh.

Taylor: Is everything all right?

Ridge: Yeah, yeah, he’s just being a little cryptic, and that’s never a good thing when it comes to thomas.

Thomas: How did you get brooke to drink? You weren’t there on new year’s eve, and that’s how this all started – the rift between my dad and brooke and why my parents are together right now. You’re the one who set this all in motion.

Sheila: No, no, I’m not. Brooke is the one that did that. I tried to warn her, and she knew threatening me could cause her harm. And you know what? She is paying the price right now. And your mother is reaping the benefits. So, yes. You know what? I do feel like I deserve some gratitude right now, thomas because, for the first time in years, your mother has an opportunity with your father. You all have an opportunity at–at a true reunion. You don’t want to ruin that for them. You don’t want to deny your parents an opportunity at– at long-lasting happiness. Now, do you? Thomas, don’t give brooke a way back to him. Don’t do it. You just keep quiet and you’re going to have the– the happily ever after, the family that you have always dreamed of. Don’t tell ridge. Just don’t do it.

General Hospital Updates

GH logo

Update written by Kathleen
Proofread by Suzanne

Sasha wakes up to find a shirtless Brando sitting on the side of the bed, holding two cups of coffee. They discuss how happy they are to be on vacation and to be together.

At the university, Trina’s teacher comes up to her after class. She is concerned that although Trina is doing well in the class, she is being very quiet. The teacher reminds her that class participation is part of her grade.

Outside a classroom, Cam asks Joss if things are still weird between her and Trina. She says Trina only comes back to their room to sleep and won’t return any of her texts or calls. They agree that things have been strange since they got back from the cabin. Joss says they are only getting worse, and she blames Esme.

Esme is at the Spring Ridge prison. She has flashbacks to setting up the phone at the cabin to video, switching phones and throwing away the pill bottle. Spencer is sitting at a table in the prison “lounge” reading “The Brothers Karamazov.” Esme comes up from behind him, kisses him and wishes him a belated happy birthday. He chastises her, saying she could get him into trouble if the wrong guard sees. She starts to leave but then turns around and asks why he is in such a bad mood.

Carly is behind the bar at the Metro Court, looking at her phone with an unhappy look on her face. Sam comes up and says that the day of hatchet-throwing must not have helped. Carly tells her it did help her blow off some steam, but she was sad today. She says she has been thinking about Courtney and holds up a phone with Courtney’s picture on it. She says that today is the anniversary of her death.

Sonny is standing over Courtney’s grave. He says her son is a full-grown man and has gotten into trouble. He tells her couldn’t be there last year on this day and he’s sure she knows why. He says that he knows she is always watching out for him. He wants her to know she is always in his heart. Just then, Nikolas walks up, holding flowers, and says she is always in his heart, too. They glare at each other.

Back at the Metro Court, Laura looks concerned as she sees Victor greet Ava with a kiss on the cheek. Victor declines Ava’s invitation to join her and Nik for brunch. Laura asks Victor if he has been keeping a low profile in order avoid being implicated in an ongoing investigation.

Drew and Anna come out of Kelly’s and comment on how cold it is outside. Drew says it was too bad they weren’t in PC during the heat wave. Anna says she wanted to talk to him because she is worried about him. She thinks Victors is up to something dangerous.

Back at the cemetery, Sonny tells Nik he didn’t expect to see him there. He responds that he loved Courtney and wanted to marry her. Sonny asks him, if Courtney had lived, does he think they would still be together. Nik first says, “yes,” but then says he doesn’t know. Sonny tells him that at least he’s being honest. He reminds him that she will always be the mother of his child – just like Carly will always be the mother of Sonny’s children.

At the Metro Court, Carly says that she feels like all her connections to Courtney are slipping away. Sam says that although she and Courtney were not friends, perhaps if she had lived, they could have become friends. If she and Elizabeth can be friends, anything is possible.

Victor tells Laura he has no idea what she is talking about. She flashes back to telling Sam her suspicions about the Ice Princess and Luke’s death. He asks her if she is trying to accuse him of having something to do with Peter. After Victor leaves, Laura asks Ava what is going on between them.

Back outside of Kelly’s, Anna tells Drew about Liesel bugging Victor and that she heard the conversation when Victor tried to activate Drew with the card. He asks if she’s talked about what Victor might be up to with Valentin because he usually has great insights. She says that she had informed him that Valentin had developed an infection and was being treated at a clinic out of town. Anna says she hopes that they can expose Victor before Valentin comes home. She fears that Victor will try and exploit the father-son relationship the way he does with the rest of his family.

At Spring Ridge, Spencer apologizes to Esme. He says he’s upset because it is the anniversary of his mother’s death, and he can’t place flowers on her grave.

At the university, Trina is short with Joss when she asks about a class. Joss asks if Trina is still mad at her because of what happened the other day with Esme.

Back at the prison, Esme offers to place flowers at the grave for Spencer. He becomes upset that he can’t do it himself because of choices he made and that she doesn’t understand. She responds sarcastically that Trina would.

Brando and Sasha are sitting on the bed, kissing. They decide to blow off their other vacation plans and stay in bed. They fall back on the bed, kissing.

At the cemetery, Sonny tells Nik that Courtney would have been a good mother. Nik says she would have been a good influence on Spencer. Maybe she could have negated some of the mistakes he made. When Sonny doesn’t respond, Nik tells him he is supposed to say he did the best he could. Sonny says he’s not going to lie. He doesn’t believe that.

Trina and Joss argue about the situation with Esme. When Joss mentions the book Spencer gave Trina, Cam questions her about it. Trina tells him it wasn’t a Valentine’s Day present; she just happened to receive in from Spenser via Laura on Valentine’s Day. Trina gets on Joss about not keeping confidences. Joss apologies for betraying her trust but won’t apologize for defending friends.

Spencer wonders why Esme never talks about her parents. She says she doesn’t like talking about them. She asks about the gift he gave Trina. He says he always gives thank you gifts because it’s easier than writing notes. It was just a coincidence that his grandmother gave it to her on Valentine’s Day. Victor walks up and apologizes for not visiting him on his birthday.

Ava asks Laura if she doesn’t trust her. Laura says it looked like she and Victor were too cozy. Ava says she doesn’t trust Victor.

Drew tells Anna he doesn’t understand what use he would be to Victor. Anna says she thinks Victor may think Drew has useful information.

Laura tells Ava that she can’t say anything negative about Victor to Nik or Spencer. It would only drive them closer to him. However, she knows Ava is smarter than that.

Sonny and Nik continue to discuss Nik’s parenting. Nik says he can’t change the past. Sonny tells him he should own and admit his mistakes and more forward.

Sam tells Carly things are great with Dante. Carly asks about her relationship with Drew. Sam says they decided they were better as friends and co-parents. She asks Carly why she is interested. She responds that she just wants to look out for him because he has been looking out for her recently.

Laura encourages Ava to get close to Victor in hopes he will slip up and say something about what he might be planning.

Back over at the bar, Carly tells Sam that Drew is easy to talk to. Laura walks up to talk to Sam. She tells her some details have come to light about Victor’s associate, Johann. She thought she should know because it involves Drew.

After walking away from Victor and Spencer, Esme looks down at a phone with a shot of Joss and Cam in bed. She says to herself, “time to get this done.” Spencer complains to Victor about not being able to leave flowers on his mother’s grave but says he could do it if Victor would bust him out.

As Drew and Anna are discussing Victor wanting access to Drew’s old memories, Laura and Sam walk up. Laura tells Anna she thinks Drew has a right to know the truth.

Spencer tries to get Victor into arranging a furlough for him to visit the grave. He tells him they are Cassadines and family is everything.

Trina and Joss continue to argue. Trina tells Joss it’s not always about her. She should think about what she is going through. Esme walks up and says that they can cut the tension with a knife.

After Nik leaves, Sonny speaks to the grave. He tells Courtney he will watch out for Spencer, just like he knows she is watching out for all of his lost loved ones.

In bed, Brando and Sasha tell each other, “I love you.” They discuss how much better sex is in a bed instead of where they were the first time, in the backseat of a car. Sasha excuses herself to another room and takes some pills.

Joss tells Trina that she’ll skip class so they can talk some more. Trina tells her no, “maybe some other time.”

Nik comes into the Metro Court. He tells Carly that Courtney would be proud of what she has done with the hotel. She tells him he just missed his mother and that she seemed to be getting into it with Victor and Ava.

Anna and Laura tell Drew that they think Victor had something to do with Luke’s death. Drew wonders what it could have to do with him, since he barely knew Luke. Anna thinks that there are common threads. She suggests that they go to Austria to investigate. Laura thinks that could be risky. Sam says there could be another way.

Sasha, acting slightly under the influence, says she is loving their time away and dreads going back to real life. Brandon says he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. She says they should do it and get married today.

Sonny is getting out of an elevator at the Metro Court, just as Carly is about to get in.

Sam tells Drew that something in his past motivated Victor to help Peter escape. Laura wonders if Victor got a hold of Andre Maddox about Drew’s memories. Anna says she’ll contact him, but she is certain he would never reveal anything. They talk about setting some kind of trap for Victor.

Victor (still at the prison) is on the phone telling someone that he fears this is the calm before the storm.

Nik asks Ava what she and his mother were discussing. Carly had told him that it looked intense. She told him it was nothing – Laura just wanted to make sure she was taking good care of him. She suggests they invite Victor to dinner.

Spencer is at Courtney’s grave when Trina walks up, surprised, and wants to know why he is out of prison.

Joss, Cam and Esme are in class. The teacher is doing a presentation on a large screen. Esme picks up her phone. There is a screenshot of Joss and Cam in bed. As Joss gets up to leave class, Esme hits an upload file button on the phone. The phones of everyone in the class start to go off, and they start to laugh. The teacher asks what’s so important. One of the kids in the class transfers the video of Joss and Cam onto the large screen. Joss and Cam look horrified. Esme looks very pleased.

Interview with Hamza Haq and John Hannah

TV Interview!

John Hannah and Hamza Haq of "Transplant" on NBC

Interview with John Hannah and Hamza Haq of “Transplant” on NBC by Suzanne 3/1/22

This was a fun chat. I interviewed Hamza in 2020. It was great to meet John Hannah. He’s been in so many wonderful shows and movies that I love, like “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” “Damages,” “Spartacus,” “The Mummy,” “Alias,” and his starring role in “McCallum.”

Suzanne: How are you guys doing?

Hamza: Wonderful.

Suzanne: Nice to meet you, John.

John: Nice to meet you, Suzanne.

Suzanne: And Hamza. It’s great to see you again.

Hamza: Nice to see you too.

Suzanne: You cut your hair. I don’t recognize you.

John: Is that for work, Hamza?

Hamza: Yeah.

John: You working just now?

Hamza: Yeah, I just wrapped yesterday.

John: Okay, good, good. Sorry, Suzanne.

Suzanne: That’s okay. Is this a movie that you just wrapped?

Hamza: Yeah, I just dropped this surreal indie comedy movie that I’m filming here in Montreal, or Vancouver, rather, directed by Kim Albright and starring Anna McGuire. So, it was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun.

Suzanne: Does it have a title?

Hamza: It’s called With Love and a Major Organ.

Suzanne: That sounds like an indie title, doesn’t it?

Hamza: Very much, yeah.

Suzanne: Yeah, so when did you guys film season two? Because when I talked to you in 2020, you hadn’t started filming yet?

John: Yeah, we didn’t start until 2021. We were supposed to start late 2020, and then it got pushed and shoved and pulled and pushed, and we ended up starting late February 2020 – 2021, sorry, I’m all mixed up. This is ‘22 isn’t it?

Suzanne: Yeah. What year is it? I don’t know.

John: It’s just about a week ago. This time last year, actually.

Hamza: Yeah.

Suzanne: Oh, wow. Okay, that’s a long time. Do you remember what happened? It takes like a year. [laughs]

John: Well there were these doctors…

Suzanne: So, in the first episode Bash says everything changes, which seems to set the tone for the season, wouldn’t you say?

Hamza: I would. I did. Yeah, it’s just yeah, it there’re so many new elements that the wonderful thing about how it’s been written and how it was presented is that like any bit of comfort that anybody found in in season one is thrown into chaos in season two, right from the off. So, we see everybody just swim through that chaos.

Suzanne: Bishop actually had a pretty bad season one, because he was shot in the head, and then had a stroke.

John: I was drilled, but it saved my life. I made dumb choices.

Suzanne: It was funny, when I saw that with him drilling in your head, because there used to be a soap opera called Port Charles, and the very first episode was a spin off from General Hospital, very first episode, they had that same thing. The intern drilled with a regular drill into this woman’s head, and everybody’s like, “Oh, that’s ridiculous. That’s ridiculous.” Apparently, it’s no longer ridiculous.

John: I mean, it’s not necessarily the way doctors would choose to do it, but needs must, you know, when the devil rides.

Hamza: Like the equivalent of like tying a string to your tooth and closing the door when you need to extract, you know what I mean? It’s kind of the same thing. A dentist wouldn’t do it, but it worked.

Suzanne: Or like when they always seem to do a medical shows when somebody is having that problem breathing, and they stick the inner lining of the pen and tube, and then it happens so much. I’m sure it doesn’t happen that much in real life, but it always happened on every medical show.

Hamza: I haven’t I haven’t done it yet, but it’s early in the day.

Suzanne: So, there’re a lot of politics in this season. John, can you talk about what Bishop faces this season, all of the things that he faced?

John: Yeah, I mean, Bishop kind of played a bit fast and loose with what he should have done and should have declared and his own health in season one, and that got us to where it got him to, back in bed. And season two in a lot of ways is navigating through those choices, politics. It’s corporate politics, really, isn’t it? I mean, the medical profession is no different from any other corporation, and for somebody to get to the top, they have to be fairly skilled at kind of maneuvering as well as being talented at the hospital, at the medical stuff and man management. So, yeah, he deals a lot with that. And the second season, which is kind of interesting, I think that we have the medical procedures, the things that happen. We have the human side of it, and then there is this corporate shark infested water that is, again, perhaps from a liberal point of view, he’s cynically trying to manipulate to hold on to his position.

Suzanne: And we saw this guy come in, Mark Novak, while he was unavailable. Then, we saw, I believe, six episodes, and he leaves at the end. Does he come back later this season? Can you tell us if you’re allowed to?

Hamza: We’re not.

John: Are we not? [unintelligible] I think he’s there and it sets up this conflict in styles, and I think that that works well, in terms of the the jeopardy that it puts pressure upon his history with Novak. It also puts Hamza’s character in a lot of jeopardy as well, because, obviously, I have a sort of protective cloak around them. So, I mean, I think anybody who understands drama would look at it and say there’s a lot of potential there. So, chances are, he comes back.

Suzanne: Okay, and Hamza, your character, he’s actually doing pretty well at first, it seems like. He gets an apartment of his own, or house of his own, and his girl girlfriend – fiancé – comes back to life. And he’s got something going on there with Mags maybe, and then his fiancé shows up and kind of throws a wrench into that. What can you talk about this season with regards to that?

Hamza: Well, we see Bash struggle a lot with the life that he’s creating for himself versus the life that he thought he lost. It’s more about, obviously, in that respect, not any of the medical drama stuff, because there’s a lot of stuff that happens there as well, and Bash gets roped into the politics of the inner workings of the [unintelligible].

John: He’s in the firing line as well, isn’t it?

Hamza: Yeah, there’re a few things that happen where Bishop and Bash’s personal and professional relationship [is] tested quite a bit, in terms of how they’re gonna move forward, and the same can be said about Bash and Raniya, his fiancé who comes back. She’s a representation of a life that he had lost, and now, the potential to bring that up again, and to restart and pick up where they left off, it’s a very exciting thing for Bash, and it’s something that he jumps into head on. It’s not until a little bit later in the season that he starts to feel that maybe he wasn’t in the same mental and emotional space that he was five years ago, because he absolutely isn’t. Everything has, like I said, changed, and he’s now moved away from the man that he used to be, and we’ll see how it tests that relationship, not only with Raniya, but with his sister, Amira, and with Mags as well.

Suzanne: And I can’t wait to see what happens next with his little sister, because the last one I saw was when Raniya was leaving, I’m sure she’s not gonna be too happy about that.

Hamza: No, she is not. I can say that much.

Suzanne: Right, and at least he’s going through therapy now. So, that also probably puts him in a different place like you were talking about.

Hamza: Yes.

Suzanne: I don’t think I would want a doctor who’s having hallucinations. Maybe it’s just me.

Hamza: You don’t know; maybe they’re having them already. You never know. If he saves the life and you get the job done, then his hallucinations are his own business, you know? [laughs]

Suzanne: Yes, in TV. In real life, I don’t know about that. Maybe you might pick up something by accident. It’s not a drill when he needs to get your head, you never know. So, how many episodes total are there? I’ve seen six.

Hamza: There’s seven more to go.

Suzanne: Seven more. Oh, good. So, it is actually thirteen this season. That’s good to know. And anything else that you’d like to tell us about the season, or anything else you’ve got going on, John?

John: I mean, I just I think the show, it keeps twisting and turning, as you say. There’s the politics of it, which is the jeopardy that we’re both in, and that puts a strain on our relationship, our closeness, which I think’s natural. It shakes it up a bit. Everyone’s in jeopardy with what’s going on. The guy on the right has keep it going for the whole thirteen, I think. Hamza, you?

Hamza: Yeah, I just think that just from a storyline perspective, we got very lucky with season two that the writers gave so much richness to all the characters, and we really dive a lot deeper into everybody, and not just, you know, you’re talking to Bishop and Bashir now, but, for fans of the show, everybody across the board has a much richer, more well balanced, like, human story to tell. Like, we dive into Mag’s personal life. Theo’s exploring his, you know, the contentiousness of him being this traveling doctor, and his being apart from his family, and then the relationship between June and her father, and also like her struggle between the two surgical residents as well, or surgical attendings rather, and it’s just so much more well balanced and dives into an emotional depth and a storyline interest that we didn’t see in in season one across the board for everybody. So, I hope everybody appreciates that, because there was a concerted effort to make sure that we see these characters as full rounded humans, and having seen the second season, I think we achieve that.

Suzanne: And are you allowed to tell us whether your character and Mags are ever going to actually kiss?

Hamza: No, as in, “no, I’m not allowed to tell you.”

Suzanne: Okay, I have to figure that happens at some point.

John: [unintelligible] know that you don’t or know that you do?

Hamza: I’m not allowed to say.

Suzanne: Well, I think I’m gonna guess that they are, just because they keep coming so close, but you never know; it’s TV.

Hamza: Tune in next week to see more on Transplant! Will Bash and Mags kiss? Will Bishop finally get – you know?

Suzanne: We want to know these things. You’ve got to have those ships nowadays. And John, what about your character and Claire? Is there anything you can tell us about that?

John: Yeah, I mean, there’s a second chances. I think the theme for Bishop is very much second season, second chances, and that’s true for Claire. That’s true for his relationship with Claire as well, and maybe this is the right time for them to come together, but, again, there’re some twists and turns in that the difference between what you think you want, and what really happens is, you know, we maybe take those choices and then discover that it wasn’t right, or maybe we don’t take them and wish that we had. I don’t want to give too much away, but there is certainly a journey that they go on together, and they care for each other deeply. They’ve had a lot of time together. That doesn’t necessarily always make it an easy path, though. As Hamza was saying, [it’s] the second season, so we’re not introducing the character[s]. We know the refugee story. Hamza is now embedded in the hospital, and that allows the time to spread out with the other characters via Hamza, and as we get to know them spin off on those other stories, which I think gives the show a richer tapestry. Not at all Hamza to say that it wasn’t rich before, but as you were mentioning, it allows us to get to know those other characters also.

Hamza: One hundred percent.

Suzanne: All right. Well, thank you guys. I appreciate you taking the time today, and I hope you don’t have too many other press that you have to talk to and that you have a great rest of your day.

John: Oh no, it’s always a pleasure. I mean, we spend eight months doing the show. It takes ten minutes to talk to someone to get the word out there, and that’s what hopefully brings the audience in. So, thank you for talking to us.

Suzanne: Great, thank you so much. Bye.

Transplant

Sundays on NBC (10-11 p.m. ET); Season Premiere: March 6

“Transplant” follows the story of Dr. Bashir “Bash” Hamed (Hamza Haq), a talented doctor and Syrian refugee, who fled his war-torn country with his younger sister, Amira (Sirena Gulamgaus), for a fresh start in Canada. After a truck crashes into the restaurant where he’s been working, Bash earns the chance to practice medicine again by using his field-honed skills to save multiple lives in brilliant fashion, including that of Dr. Jed Bishop (John Hannah), the Chief of Emergency Medicine at York Memorial Hospital in Toronto.

But Bash is told he’ll need to redo his residency in Emergency Medicine from the bottom and despite his obvious talents intuition, and training, starting over is not an easy road and his life experience is not a perfect match for the strict protocols at York Memorial. Through perseverance he makes inroads, developing camaraderie with his new colleagues, including the driven Dr. Magalie “Mags” LeBlanc (Laurence Leboeuf), the reserved and ambitious surgical resident Dr. June Curtis (Ayisha Issa), easy-going pediatric ER physician Dr. Theo Hunter (Jim Watson), head nurse Claire Malone (Torri Higginson) and even earning the respect of Dr. Wendy Atwater (Linda E. Smith), the department’s second-in-command who runs a very tight ship.

Jed Bishop (John Hannah), the team’s demanding, inscrutable boss, looms large and keeps everyone on their toes with a unique compassion and commitment to his staff that also connects them.

Season two picks up with Bash and his fellow residents reeling after Dr. Bishop suffers a stroke. With everything at the hospital destabilized, the place that Bash had started to consider home suddenly feels precarious. As the team adjusts to new colleagues while dealing with the challenges of life, unexpected faces from the past leave Bash seriously doubting whether his transplant into this new world was successful.

Bash’s hard work, compassion and hopefulness tell a universal story about the human ability to not only survive, but ultimately thrive when our lives suddenly change course.

Creator Joseph Kay returns as showrunner and executive producer. Director Stefan Pleszczynski joins as executive producer and will direct six episodes. Additional executive producers include Bruno Dubé, Jocelyn Deschênes, Virginia Rankin, Tara Woodbury, Josée Vallée and Adam Barken.

“Transplant” is produced by Sphere Media in association with CTV and Universal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group.

Interview with Jeff Astrof of “Shining Vale” on Starz by Suzanne 2/7/22

It was really fun to talk to Jeff. I love talking to the writers, directors, showrunners, etc. because they are usually more knowledgable about the show and how it came into being. Actors are fun to chat with, but they generally only know about their character. This was part of a press junket for the show, so there were other reporters here asking questions. I’ve put mine first. He loves to talk, so I was only able to ask one question in the show time we had. When I left the chat, though, I said, “Thank you for not killing Roxy!”

Suzanne: Since it’s a horror as well as a comedy, usually in horror movies and shows people die. We’ve seen a lot of people who are already dead in the first five episodes we watched. Will we be seeing other people die?

Jeff: Yes, I guess I could say this. It was actually built into the script early on that one of the main characters dies…they revisited that and said, “We want to revisit it now that you’ve done it…Now that we’ve come to really kind of know and love this character, do we think there’s a different way?” I said, “No, absolutely not.”…I mean, that’s a good point; we’re dealing with potential ghosts and people, but the stakes have got to be higher…you know, I don’t love gore and horror. This person dies in a very tragic and symbolic way. It’s interesting, because on my last show, Trial and Error, in the first season I killed somebody, and they were shocked, and it happened kind of in a comic way in the distance, but this is like, I guess it’s an ironic way. It’s an homage to a horror movie, the way they die. It’s also like, one of the great things Sharon and I set to do in a certain way when writing it, I wanted to know how would I react if I were in a haunted house? Because usually people just do some really stupid things in the haunted houses, [and] that’s the fun; that’s the comedy of it. You know, we’re watching a show now. It’s like, “We’re going to sleep in the attic.” It’s like, “No, don’t. You know not to sleep in the attic under these weird carvings. No, don’t do that; something bad is going to happen.” So, it’s like how do we get these characters to do that? And a part of that was also casting the house and finding that house, which was just miraculous. Like you want a house that Terry could be like, “What a great deal,” and if you look at it from a slightly different angle, it’s like, “Don’t live there. Why are you living in that house?” So, that’s the balance we did. But yes, the short answer is somebody does die. It’s funny, the second season I don’t – oh, we’ll probably have someone die, maybe. I don’t know. It can’t be gratuitous. Everything has to go with with the story, but a couple of characters meet untimely fates.

Suzanne: And that’s a real house right? Somebody actually lives in the one that used in the pilot?

Jeff: Yes. So, Jeff Shane, our [incredible] set designer, rebuilt that house, like inch by inch and then more on the lot when it got picked up. I remember when we shot there, we thought there’s no way you’re going to be able to – first of all, we shot in South Pasadena for Connecticut; it was during COVID. So, everything was closed. You only had a certain number of days to shoot in Pasadena, or else I would have said, “Let’s buy the house,” but you can only shoot six days a quarter, so it would be very long season. It [would be] five years a season. And we found this house on MLS; somebody found the house on MLS, and they were selling it, and it was very obvious why it was still on the market. The woman also was a hoarder…And our producer at the time was somebody who was able to see dead people – not the reason she got the job, but happened to be, so she walked in the house and was like, “No way!” I’m like, “Okay.” We created it on a lot on three stages at Warner Brothers and then also added in different rooms. We have the hallways, you’ll notice the wallpaper from the Overlook Hotel, the kitchen from Rosemary’s Baby. There’s the wallpaper from The Yellow Wallpaper. We are very, very liberal with our references.

Question: Jeff, this is quite a balancing act for you. You’re mixing comedy and mixing horror and also real world ailments that people have. How do you maintain that balance, and so it doesn’t lean too far in either direction?

Jeff: That was the big challenge of it. It’s very funny, because, I usually have my counterpart, Sharon, on here to say that she was looking for somebody creepy and funny, and there was nobody creepier and funnier than I was. When we came out with the show, that was not a good look, that pull quote, for me…I wanted to work with Sharon, because I love her work, and I wanted to stay with something that was genre bending. I heard that she had said she wanted to do this. Aaron Kaplan, the producer, pitched it as The Shining as a comedy. I was like, “Well, yes.” Then, it was female driven…I read the quote about women being more than twice as likely as men to be possessed and depressed and the symptoms being the same. I was like, “I am all in on this.” It’s so funny, because during this interview process, we’re hearing like our versions of what the other person was like on the phone. She said, “I had this idea years ago, and no one was excited about it, except for you.” I was like, “Oh, wow.”…She said, “How can you do comedy and horror? They play different paces, they play different, like, frames, you know, how the shot is framed. Usually, the actor has to play a certain way, and it’s scored differently.” I just know that after you go to a horror movie, after you scream, the audience laughs, and I was like, “Okay, so, it’s the same continuum.” I’ve been telling jokes for so long, and I was like, this is a new way to get a reaction.

I was given two writers for the first season. One was a horror writer, and one was a comedy writer. The horror writer saw the pilot and said, “This is my first comedy,” and the comedy writer saw the pilot and said, “This is my first drama.” So I was like, “Okay, something for nobody here.” And that’s been the thing. My first pitch to Sharon was that we write a comedy and we shoot like a horror. In order for it to have legs, and this is my horror writer, her name is Jill [unintelligible] said, “The challenging thing about horror is like, in a season two of a horror, if it’s a house horror, it’s like, ‘just fucking move.’ ” You know, I mean? So, the challenge is, you have to have that in your mind, that the audience is not going to say, “Just move.”

So, from the beginning, it was like, “Is this playing in Pat’s head, or not?” That is consistent. That’s one of the rules, like with Rosemary is that we only see Rosemary from Pat’s point of view, and she has to be in a certain state of mind. I think at this day and age, I look at what I like, and when I watch, and I don’t know that I’m watching any comedy right now. It’s just like I wanted to create something that I would watch and something that was engaging, and in order for it to be a good comedy, you have to have stakes, and the stakes of this are either a woman’s soul or her mental health, and for the family – I came from a broken home, myself, or divorced house, and it’s like there’s a lot of trauma there, and I like writing about trauma. And, again, with higher stakes can come bigger laughs. I think once we cast it, I think that we were able to do that.

Question: I’m enjoying it so far.

Jeff: Great. Thank you so much.

Question: …STARZ, which has this wonderful, wonderful program has a lot of shows that I really, really love. Did you know outright this [was] not a traditional network kind of show when you were helming it, that maybe it was going to go to a great pay channel like Starz?

Jeff: So, we actually developed it – yes, we knew it wasn’t. I work for Warner Brothers, and the lights are kept on at Warner Brothers, really, by the multi cameras that have been there as long as I have been, and that was a model that, really for most of my career, Warner Brothers was afraid of leaving, and obviously, things change.

My last show I developed actually, [was] right on the cusp. It was a procedural comedy called Trial and Error, and it should have gone to Netflix. Back then they were like, “No, I mean, the place that ships DVDs in the mail? No.”

So, this one, I knew, and with Sharon also. Like, one of the things that comes with Sharon, is she has a pedigree that is like – she doesn’t do network stuff. I mean, not that she hasn’t tried and, obviously, there’s money in network and stuff, but like, this is like, I knew the subject matter. We pitched this to network and ABC, but we knew this was going to be streaming and that we wanted to really blow it out. This is my first thing for streaming. The biggest thing was writing without act breaks, actually like constructing a story. That’s why I put it in the title cards, which is just really a cheat, because that’s where the commercials would go. So, that’s just a little inside baseball, don’t tell anybody, because that’s what I’m used to writing, the three act and four act structure…Basically the show is like a three act show, but yes, it had to be a high end show.

We originally developed it for Showtime, and then Showtime thought it was being developed for Sharon, and they said, “Well, we wanted the vehicle for Sharon,” and we’re like, “Well, this is not Sharon.” So, Aaron Kaplan said, “All right, well, we’re taking it back; someone has to love this,” and Starz swooped right in and from the very first second. They were just like, “This is this is how we want to brand our network for comedy.”

Then, once we cast the cast, also, it just became such a pedigree. So, I would say, real kudos for Starz…Their notes have always been very, very smart, but very, very limited too, and they just want to let us run with it. We knew that from the beginning Shannon and I were going to create something here that there’s no model for, so sometimes a network will look at that as an excuse to try to foist a paradigm onto it, but this was just like, we hope that people copy this and then use us as a [model]…So, God bless stars for giving us all this rope to play with.

Question: As far as casting, how did how did Greg, Courtney, and Mira come on board?

Jeff: So, that was an incredible story, because everybody thought that I’d written the part of Pat for Sharon, and that was never any of our intentions. I just had Pat in mind, and we were going to cast that. Then, after we came out with it, and it got picked up, we were talking about casting it and were going around some usual suspects, some not so usual suspects. The person Pat was written [as was] initially like 40 something years old, and that was just the prototype we had in our mind.

Then, Courtney calls me. I get a 213 call. Only my sister and spammers are 213. Who’s going to [call from] 213? It’s like, “Hey, Jeff. It’s Courtney. Listen, I read the script Shining Veil, and you wrote it for me. I want to do it.” I’m like, “Who is this?” She says, “Courtney.” It’s like, “Courtney who?” She said, “Courtney Cox.” I said, “Courtney, I haven’t spoken to you – Last time I [spoke] to you, cell phones hadn’t even been invented yet.” She’s like, “Sorry, I got your number. I read the script. I’m doing all this press; we’re doing a Friends reunion. I was thinking about you. I got the script. It was written for me; I have to do it.” And I was like, “Okay, I know you’ve done Scream,” and one of the reasons her name didn’t come up initially was because she had done Scream, and we wanted to have our own kind of like niche, and we thought like, “Okay, if Courtney does it, we’ve seen her do horror.” Obviously, they’re still shooting these things, the Screams, and she’s very successful at that. And she said, “No, this is something I’ve never done before, and it’s just really in my voice. It’s like you wrote it for me, and I have to do it.”

So, I went back to Sharon and Aaron and the other producers like, “Courtney wants to do the show. I guess Courtney is doing the show.”

And we were a little bit nervous too, because our director, Dearbhla Walsha, she had just come off Fargo. She’s like, “I don’t want to do Scream,” and now we have the star of Scream. I hadn’t seen Courtney really do drama, but oh my god, like and then I met Courtney with her daughter and I was like, “Okay, I know how to write this.” She’s just so warm and so deep and so hard working, and she’s like, “I have this part; trust me,” and she did.

Then, as soon as we cast Courtney, you know, it’s always that one piece of the puzzle. Then, once we cast Courtney, like we’re like, “Okay, we know the age range. We’re going mid 50s, somewhere, early to mid 50s.” Then, Greg’s name came up, and we called him, and he’s like, “I love Courtney, and I love this part.”

And Greg is so funny, because Greg, even up until a half hour ago, Greg always loves it and is concerned about how to repeat it. He’s like, “Listen, season two -” I’m like, “Greg, are you really pitching us season two? Like, do the press.” He’s so into it, and we had a long talk with Greg about it, and Greg loved it, and he’s like, “I really want to work with Courtney, and I think we’d be a good couple.” And sure enough, their chemistry was great.

Then, originally, we wrote this out; we have Greg and Courtney, and the part of Rosemary has one line in the pilot. Now, I always had big plans for Rosemary. As you see, it evolves, but everyone was like, “She’s basically a little more than the cartoony ghost, like the eyes moving in the picture.” But then Mira got a hold of it and was like, “I really want to do this; I really want to be involved.” Then, it’s like, “Well, if Mira wants to be involved – ” Mira’s like, “Whatever it takes.” It’s like, “You know, you’re not number one on the call sheet.” She’s like, “I really need to do this.”

Mira and I talked for a while…Mira’s dad has the distinction of being one of two people my dad told not to quit the business and move to Hollywood on the second one. They were good friends growing up, Paul Sorvino and my dad. We just talked about the character and Mira was – again, I don’t know where and how much Mira’s character’s revealed in what you’ve seen, but Mira also had a lot to prove, and she thought this was a great vehicle for her, and she brought so much to it. Then, we were like, “Oh my god, I have a an Oscar winner, Emmy nominee, Oscar nominee, like, just get out of the way.” And that’s what happened.

It was one advantage of the fact that I’ve been doing this for thirty years that they had a trust of me, and Sharon, of course, and it was really, really nice. I mean, it’s like, at any given time, I’ll get a call from movie actors talking about the show and what they want to do. Certainly Greg [has] a lot of ideas, and they’re terrific, and it’s so nice to see other people seeing it, because we had no idea. Like we just did this, and the only people I saw who’ve seen it have been people who are friends and family and, certainly, when we saw the chemistry that they had and the challenge in season two, which we’re starting to conjure up, is getting Mira in scenes with the rest of the family too, since right now she can only be seen by Pat.

Question: Oh very cool. And, I mean, Judith Light too.

Jeff: Oh my god, Judith Light, I love Judith Light. Once we had Judith also, and then, it’s very fun, because we cast Judith, and then we saw Judith and were like, “Oh my god, she looks exactly like Ganyor, so, it’s like, “Let’s run with that storyline.”

Then, the two of them together were [fantastic]. I love the kids. I love all of our cast. There’s not a single person where I’m just like, “Oh, how are we gonna write that?”

It’s a shame that we have to kill one of them, but I will tell you this, “Not Roxy.” When I talked about that, anybody can die in the show except Roxy. It has gotten such pushback. Like it’s one of the things that people do who are possessed is they cause harm to animals, and that was a red line. Starz is like, “You do whatever you want. Do not mess with that dog.” That’s the only red line there is.

Here is the audio version of it.

SHINING VALE

Season 1 8 Episodes 2022

“Shining Vale” is a horror comedy about a dysfunctional family that moves from the city to a small town into a house in which terrible atrocities have taken place. But no one seems to notice except for Pat, who’s convinced she’s either depressed or possessed – turns out, the symptoms are exactly the same. Patricia “Pat” Phelps (Courteney Cox) is a former “wild child” who rose to fame by writing a raunchy, drug-and-alcohol-soaked women’s empowerment novel (a.k.a. lady porn). Fast forward 17 years later, Pat is clean and sober but totally unfulfilled. She still hasn’t written her second novel, she can’t remember the last time she had sex with her husband (Greg Kinnear), and her teenage kids are at that stage where they want you dead. She was a faithful wife until her one slip-up: she had a torrid affair with the hot, young handyman who came over to fix the sink while Terry was at work. In a last-ditch effort to save their marriage, she and Terry cash in all their savings and move the family from the “crazy” of the city to a large, old house in the suburbs that has a storied past of its own. Everyone has their demons, but for Pat Phelps, they may be real. Cox plays the lead role of Patricia “Pat” Phelps, with Kinnear playing her ever-optimistic husband, Terry Phelps, whose patience and self-control will be tested like never before. Mira Sorvino plays Rosemary, who is either Pat’s alter ego, a split personality, her id, her muse, or a demon trying to possess her. Dungey plays Kam, Pat’s oldest friend and book editor. Gus Birney and Dylan Gage also star as Pat and Terry’s teenage kids, Gaynor and Jake.

Jeff Astrof is a producer and writer, known for Trial & Error (2017), In-Laws (2002) and The New Adventures of Old Christine (2006). He has been married to Shawni Modrell since May 28, 2000. They have two children.

Interview with Judith Light

Posted on March 6, 2022March 6, 2022 by TvMegasite Admin

TV Interview!

Judith Light as Joan in "Shining Vale" on Starz

Interview with Judith Light of “shining Vale” on Starz by Suzanne 2/7/22

It was lovely to speak to such an amazing actress. I first saw her on “Who’s the Boss?” back in the 80’s. I’ve seen her in so many other great shows, such as “Transparent,” “Law and Order,” “Ugly Betty,” “Dietland,” “Dallas” and so much more. She’s great in this, like usual You may not even recognize her. The first few questions are from me, and the others were from other journalists in this roundtable press junket we did.

Suzanne: Hi. When you’re playing your character, is there anyone in particular that you modeled her after?

Judith: No, no. What an interesting question. No, I think that what happened was that they created her as they saw her. Now, maybe the writers had somebody in mind. Maybe they knew somebody that had had some of these issues, but no. It was just like, there it was, right on the page.

Suzanne: Thank you.

Judith: Yeah, you bet.

Suzanne: I know you got your TV start on One Life to Live. If one of the four remaining daytime soaps were to offer you a really good role, around your schedule, whether it was recurring, or guest starring or long term, would you consider it?

Judith: You know, years ago I used to say I wouldn’t do this, and I’m never going to do that. I’m not going to be in a soap opera, and I’m not going to be in a sitcom, and I’m never going to marry an actor, and I’m never going to move to California. You know, I’m not terribly trustworthy. So, I would only answer that to say to you, I will allow myself to stay open to everything and to see how things evolve and what comes to me. I don’t look at something and say, “I’ll never do that.” It’s just it’s not a way to be as a human being, and it’s not a way to live. Who knows what could happen? I have no idea. So, good questions.

Question: …Tell us a little bit about her. She’s kind of a character, but has a part of her life that we won’t get into, but kind of had a dark period in her life, I guess the best way to put it?

Judith: Yeah, yeah. I love that you’re being deferential to not giving away a lot of the information, which I know they appreciate, and so do I. We’re talking about mental illness. I mean, you’re talking about a woman who, as an adult, a lot of her adult life is she’s dealing with mental illness, and the fact that this show is able to talk about that in such a way within the body and the context of comedy and horror and drama and paranormal is just quite incredible, I think. I just think it’s extraordinary. So, that’s one of the things that we’re dealing with is women and mental illness.

Question: Congratulations on being a part of such an interesting show. How long did you have to keep the secret that you were cast in this series?

Judith: Not for very long. I mean, it really happened quite, quite quickly. I mean, I read the script, and then they sent me the pilot to look at, and I was like, “Oh, I’m in.” So, it wasn’t really a very long time. They send it to me, and then we talked about it, and we shot it.

Question: And to follow up on that, was there a personal highlight for you? Because often things that are funny are not always off camera hilarious, the most fun thing ever, and then, vice versa. You’ll find that in dramas, the second they say cut, everyone is laughing their heads off and having a blast. So, is there a highlight?

Judith: The highlight was really getting to work with Courtney and with Greg and with Gus Birney. And to be in a show, like you say, I mean, that’s written and conceived by Jeff Astrof and Sharon Horgan and such a team of women writers, I mean, literally, this is a question for you and everybody who’s watching the show. “How do you write a show that’s a comedy and a drama and a horror show and paranormal?” I don’t even know how you can think about that. You said congratulations on being a part of this show. I am beside myself. I think people are just – I can’t even say think. I know people are going to be absolutely enchanted by this.

Question: You’ve done a lot of darker roles lately. Is there something about these characters that really makes you want to embody them? Or is it just things that come across your desk, and you’re like, “Okay, that’s an interesting role. I’d love to pursue that.”

Judith: I go for the role. I go for what it says about women and their stories. We’re storytellers, you know, just like you all. You’re the storytellers. You tell our stories, and that’s why talking to you is so interesting; it’s so vital. I look at a character. I look at the story. I look at what it’s saying. I see that women are writing for women about women’s issues, women and their artistry, women and their menopause, women and aging, women and their sexuality, women and their mental illness. So, that’s compelling to me. And to do it within, like I just said before, within the context of a show that’s funny and dramatic and tender and fragile and poignant and scary is just – You’re smiling. It’s true. It’s like it’s it’s a joy. It’s a real joy.

Question: As far as dialogue, do you get a chance to play with the words a little bit? Or do you have to stay verbatim to the script?

Judith: No, there’s no law. I mean, if there’s something that I want to talk to the producers about, they’re incredibly open, but when you see a show like this, and the way this is written, I wouldn’t touch this with a ten-foot pole. I mean, I wouldn’t even think to be able to do that. If I have questions, I’ll ask them, but not with something like this. They’re open and flexible, which is also a dream. It’s really great.

Question: Just a quick follow up, there is a scene where you have a moment with one of your grandchildren, and that was a really serious scene, and I really appreciated that scene. You both brought it, and it was so great to see you flexing those muscles.

Judith: Oh, thank you, thank you so much. That was all as all on the page. That’s all on the page. And you know, you can try something as as an actor, and you can throw it out. They might have said to me, “Don’t go there. Go to the funny, or go to the scary. Don’t do that. Don’t make it that deep or that real,” but they didn’t say that. So, that’s what I was saying. And in responding to your other question, which is, I wouldn’t ask them to change anything or rewrite anything. But if you work the way that I do is you just throw out a lot of stuff, and I say to somebody, “Look, this is the smorgasbord; you choose what you want.” And if they want something else, then they tell you. But thank you for noticing. That is a very powerful scene.

Question: So, when somebody looks at your IMDB or your credits, in general, you’ve been working nonstop, and it’s a variety of genres and projects. There’re not a lot of people who do dramatic stuff like you, yet we’re also on Family Guy. So, you’ve also been prolific as a humanitarian, and charitable work as well and standing up for women’s causes, in a wonderful way. Are there a lot of hobbies for you, or does it really all your free time goes back into the craft?

Judith: I wouldn’t say hobbies, but there are things in life that I do that I spend time on that feed my work, a lot of reading, a lot of investigation of psychology. Also, now, I’m starting to produce, and I have a bunch of projects in development. So, those are the things that I’m drawn to doing. I am curious about a lot of different things, and curiosity is the link to me to creativity. If you’re curious about something, you move into a direction of being creative in relation to it. Also, I love working in teams. So, I love being able to be around other people who are also curious and creative, and that’s where a lot of the energy goes. My husband and I are creating a lot of work together. So, that’s also exciting for me.

Question: So, it sounds like stay tuned to keep checking the IMDB to see how much you’re working.

Judith: There you go. There you go. That’s right.

Question: It’s such an honor, I must say to speak with you, and I’ve been a longtime fan of yours. Do you have any favorite projects of yours that truly hold a dear place in your heart? I mean, we recently saw you on American Crime Story. That was a beautiful arc, and there’re so many roles that stand out, of course, over the years, but are there certain roles that still hold a special place for you?

Judith: Oh, you’re so sweet. Thank you. Thank you for saying that. Well, I love American Crime. I love working with Ryan. I mean, talk about a visionary. He’s an incredible person. I would have to say, I did a play years ago, where I took over – I hadn’t been on stage for twenty-two years, and then I took over for a brilliant actor named Kathleen Chalfant in a play called Wit. It was about a woman who was dying of fourth stage ovarian cancer, and that one I hold very close still. I was terrified to do it. I had to shave my head. I had to be naked on stage. There were a lot of things that I had to confront, personally, that were very transformational for me as far as my life was concerned. It wasn’t about my career anymore. It was really about my life and the things that I needed to not be afraid of and to take a chance to take a risk. I did it for almost a year. I did it in New York for about six months. Then, I did it on tour in Boston and San Francisco and Washington, DC, and Florida. Every one of the experiences around that was life changing and affirming for me, and that one I hold I hold very close, very dear. Also, the other things that I’ve done on stage, like Other Desert Cities, just that brilliant, brilliant play by Jon Robin Baitz. I just walked into that family, and that was very, very special to me, getting to work with Joe Mantello and Robbie and then Richard Greenberg, on The Assembled Parties. Those are two other plays that I did. Most of the work that I’ve done stays with me. Not the character; I let go of the character, but the holiness, I guess, is what I would say. And I mean that in a holistic way, that those characters have meant a great deal to me, particularly when you do a long run, like we did with Lombardi. Those things, they stay. They’re embedded, and I really treasure them greatly. I really do.

Question: So, it just seems like the producing side is kind of tapping into a new area for you. How has that been to kind of take a project from an idea and put it together?

Judith: It’s been interesting. It’s more I’m learning from several different producers that I’m working with in the development of these projects. I’m at a place called Brillstein Creative Partners, and I’m working with some really brilliant, extraordinary women producers that I’m learning a lot from, like Amy Powell and Dakota DeBellis. There are people that are on these projects that I’m working on that I’m watching and learning from and seeing how to put something together. Right now we’re in the stages of looking at reading material, finding the writers. Who’s going to be the best team for this? And it takes a long time, and it takes a lot of discipline and diligence and a lot of hard work to put it together. I’m learning, and I’m watching, and I’m seeing that these are people that really know what they’re doing and really know what they’re talking about. So, I’m really in the learning stage. So, I’ll keep you posted. I’ll let you know how it’s going.

Here is the audio version of it.

Jennifer: Jack. Jack! Jack.

Jack: Jennifer. Jennifer.

Jennifer: Oh, there you are. Okay, “the spectator” just published the article about abigail’s disappearance.

Jack: Jennifer.

Jennifer: They have it online; I have a hard copy.

Jack: Jennifer!

Jennifer: What?

Jack: I have news.

Jennifer: What?

Jack: I heard from chad. He and tony know where abigail is.

Jennifer: What? Jack, where is she? Where is she? Are they gonna bring her home? What’s happening?

Jack: Yes, yes.

Jennifer: Okay.

Jack: If everything’s going right…

Jennifer: Yeah.

Jack: And well, chad should be rescuing her as we speak.

Jennifer: Oh, jack. Oh, gosh.

Sarah: Tony! Oh, my darling. Oh, I can’t believe you’re here.

Anna: It’s valentine’s day, and I’m all alone. I can’t reach my husband. I have no idea where he is or if he’s okay.

[Sighs] So now, I have to stress eat. Hey, who ate all the chocolate-covered cherries? Oh, tony, when are you coming home?

Tony: I’m sorry. Did you just call me your love?

Sarah: Well, of course, that’s what you are. That’s what you’ll always be.

[Giggles]

Chad: What the–

Abigail: I can explain, I think.

Kayla: That’s not funny, kristen.

Kristen: Who’s laughing?

Kayla: Telling us that you drugged the food that we just ate is just– is that your–is that your idea of a sick joke? Because it isn’t, and obviously, obviously, you didn’t do it.

Steve: What would be the point; you’re already holding us captive.

Kayla: Yeah, you wouldn’t need to sedate us.

Kristen: If you think I gave you a sedative, oh, you’re wrong. See, I gave you something a little bit stronger.

Steve: How strong?

Kristen: Oh, strong enough to permanently solve my problem that you two have been causing me. I do hope you enjoyed your anniversary. It may be your last.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Steve: We knew you were dangerous, but murder?

Kristen: Come on, chill out. No one’s gonna die.

Kayla: But you said–

Kristen: Oh, that I drugged you? Yeah, um, yes I did, but not with poison.

Steve: With what then?

Kristen: Oh, with this nifty little concoction that will make you forgot this whole ordeal. See, I can’t keep the two of you here on this island forever, nor would I want to. Frankly, you’re such lousy company. And lucky for you, I’m not interested in killing you. So, it would really suck if you remembered this little vacay and could testify against me.

Steve: What the hell are you talking about?

Kristen: Sorry, kids. But I’m afraid the island chicken comes with a side of amnesia.

[Screams]

Tony: My dear, what has come over you?

Sarah: Well, I know that I should wait until we’re alone to show my affection, but I just can’T.

Tony: No, no, no, no. That’s enough. You got to stop kissing me.

Sarah: Why?

Tony: Why? Because I’m a happily married man.

[Phone trilling]

Anna: Pick up. Pick up.

[Voicemail beeps] Straight to voicemail. The heck with this. I’m going to go get some answers.

Xander: Whenever we’re alone like this, I just lose all track of time.

Gwen: Really? Well, I know exactly what time it is. It’s time to eat. I’m starving.

Xander: Oh, ditching me for room service. Well, that’s very rude. Come back to bed right now.

Gwen: I will. I just want a few nibbles. Xander.

Xander: I want a few nibbles as well.

Gwen: Here you go.

[Chuckles]

[Both moaning] Um, xander. Um, there’s something I’d– I’d like to talk to you about. I just want to be serious for a minute.

Xander: Of course.

Gwen: Yeah.

Xander: What’s on your mind?

Gwen: Um… our wedding.

Xander: My favorite subject.

Gwen: Yes, well we do have a few details to sort out, don’t we?

Xander: Like what?

Gwen: Like when and where.

Xander: What about st. Luke’s?

Gwen: Right, yeah, the two town pariahs in front of god and everybody. Cue the lightning bolts.

Xander: We’re not so bad. My cousin, ciara, married a serial killer in that church.

Gwen: That sounds lovely. No, I was actually thinking that we could choose somewhere that’s a bit more personal to us.

Xander: Oh, like the– the horton family home?

Gwen: Do you want julie’s pacemaker to stop?

Xander: Good point. Well, let’s just table the venue for now. We’ll discuss the wedding party. I’m gonna ask jack to be my best man. Maybe jennifer would stand up for you?

Gwen: Come on, she thinks I killed her mother.

Xander: Not anymore. She knows that was an accident.

Gwen: Yes, still, it’s in poor taste.

Xander: Wait, I’ve got it, the perfect maid of honor.

Gwen: Who?

Xander: Ava vitali.

Gwen: Why would you suggest that I ask ava vitali to stand up for me at our wedding?

Xander: Well, why not? You–you said you two got close after her son died.

Gwen: No, I said that I offered my condolences because I knew charlie in passing.

Xander: Hm. I got the impression that you two formed a deeper connection, both having lost a child.

Gwen: My god, xander, I mean I just said a few kind words to the woman. You’re making it sound like we’re bosom buddies or something.

Xander: No need to get upset. It was just an idea.

Gwen: [Sighs] Sorry. Sorry. I will find someone. It just–it won’t be ava or jennifer.

Xander: Did you read her article about abigail?

Gwen: Yes, it was heart-wrenching.

Xander: A mother reporting on her daughter’s disappearance. I can’t imagine how difficult that must be, for jack as well. Hey, maybe we should swing by there, you know, express our support. Then I can ask jack if he’ll stand up for me while we’re there.

Gwen: Um, I think you should probably do that on your own because some things are sort of tense between abigail and I. I’m sure I’m the last person that they want to see.

Xander: Gwen, darling, if you’re still upset that your dad suspected that you had something to do with her disappearance, it’s like you said. That was just the worry talking. Jack knows you have no idea where your sister is. And when you told him that he could lean on you, it was clear how much that meant.

Gwen: He can lean on me. But you–you are asking him to be your best man. And, well, I think that that’s a moment that should be shared between just the two of you.

Xander: All right. Well, I’ll give him your love.

Gwen: Please do. Cheeky.

[Soft dramatic music]

Jennifer: But why would kristen go after abigail unless she was involved in sarah’s disappearance, jack?

Jack: Who knows what kristen’s thinking, why she does what she does? But at least when chad gets home with abigail, he will have some answers.

Jennifer: Oh, I hope he does.

Anna: Oh. Thank god you’re here.

Both: Anna.

Anna: I’m sorry. I’m sorry to just barge in like this, but the door was open and I’m going out of my mind with worry…

Jennifer: No, anna–

Anna: About tony, about abigail, about chad. No one will return my calls or my texts.

Jennifer: No, anna, we have really good news.

Anna: You do?

Both: Yes.

Jack: We know where abigail is, thanks to tony and chad. They’re on the way to her right now.

Anna: Oh, my gosh. That’s really great news. Oh, how wonderful. You must be so relieved.

Both: Yes.

Anna: Where is she?

Jack: Well, kristen has been holding her hostage on this abandoned dimera island. The one, you know, that’s off the coast of cartagena.

Anna: Oh, that island? Oh, wow. Well, I’m very happy for you, for all of us.

Jack: Well, you don’t look very happy. What is it, anna?

Anna: Well, it’s just that I know that island in question. I mean, I guess we’ve all heard of it, right? But for me, personally– never mind, I’m not going to rain on your parade with my selfish reaction.

Jennifer: Could you just tell us what you’re thinking, anna?

Anna: Well, I happen to know that my tony spent an extended holiday on that island with his very unstable– maybe I should say bonkers ex-lover, renée dumonde.

Sarah: I should have known that she was the reason you were being so cold to me.

Tony: Who is she?

Sarah: Your so-called wife. She’s been a thorn in my side since you two started dating, which you only did to get over me because we thought we were siblings.

Chad: I’m sorry, what?

Sarah: Don’t you see, tony? It didn’t work then and it won’t work now. You’ll never get over me.

Tony: Oh, dear god. Please help me.

Abigail: That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you. Sarah thinks that she’s renée dumonde.

Steve: Not so tough now, are you?

Kristen: Oh, enjoy your victory while you still remember it, ’cause you won’t once the drugs kick in.

Steve: Just how much of that crap did you put in our food anyway?

Kristen: Oh, enough to obliterate the memories of a herd of elephants.

Steve: I still think she’s bluffing.

Kristen: I assure you, I’m not. So if I were you, I would take this time that you have left to reminisce. You know, to reflect on all those warm and fuzzy moments you had with your children, with each other. Because soon, your epic love affair with the ole patch here, it will permanently fade to black.

Is now a good time

for a flare-up?

Tony: How is this possible? How can sarah horton think she’s renée dumonde?

Sarah: Ugh, god, not you too. I can understand this sarah nonsense from these two. But you? The only man I’ve ever truly loved? We can talk about it on the way to salem. All right, I’ve been stuck on this island for long enough. Let’s go.

Chad: We’ll be right down.

Sarah: Wonderful. That gives tony and i a moment to be alone.

Anna: Thank you. So my tony got that shady dimera pilot to come clean, huh?

Jennifer: Yes, and we are so grateful, anna.

Jack: Beyond grateful. I mean, without tony, I don’t think we’d– we wouldn’t have found her.

Anna: Well, as I’m sure you know, tony is devoted to all his brothers, but especially chad. And he would do anything for him.

Jennifer: Well, he really has gone above and beyond for what he’s done for chad this time. And for us too.

Jack: Yes. I mean I–hey, I need to let gwen know abigail’s coming home. Gwen has been so worried.

Anna: Well, how is your other daughter, jack?

Jack: Oh, doing very well, thank you–getting married, in fact.

Anna: [Laughs] Married? Really? Oh. Well, I’m so–that just surprises me, frankly.

Jack: Surprised, why?

Anna: Well–uh, never mind.

Jack: Tell us, anna.

Anna: Well, I don’t want to be insensitive, but– I mean, I know she is your daughter, but she has created a world of problems since she came to salem. I’m just wondering who– who would have the tolerance to put up with her tendency to lie, to be vindictive? I mean, what man would have the patience and fortitude to share his life with a woman like gwen?

Xander: That man would be me.

[Knocking on door]

Gwen: Bloody hell.

[Sighs]

Ava: Hey.

Gwen: What are you doing here?

Ava: We got a problem.

Chad: So kristen injected sarah with the same drug gwen used in your champagne?

Abigail: Yes. And I feel awful because I know firsthand the damage that that drug can do. You’re confused, and you have hallucinations. You feel terrified. And now sarah thinks she’s an entirely different person.

Chad: Right. There’s one thing I don’t get, is how did the drug give her my dead sister’s memories?

Abigail: Renée’s memories didn’t come from the drug. They came from her diary.

Sarah: But tony, we can’t leave. We have to eat first.

Tony: Oh, we can eat on the plane.

Sarah: But my sister went to the trouble of cooking up a feast for tonight. She made my famous island chicken. It would be an insult not to stay and enjoy it.

Tony: Oh, I’m sure she’ll understand.

Sarah: You listen to me! No one is going anywhere until we all sit down together and have a meal. I won’t take no for an answer.

[Laughs]

Kayla: We need to find the others before our memories fade. If we tell sarah and abigail what kristen’s done, then they can alert the hospital, and the staff can help us out as soon as we get home.

Kristen: Good luck with that, considering I drugged sarah and abigail too.

Steve: You did what?

Kristen: Oh, yeah, that’s right. All of my guests are having my very special island chicken tonight. By morning, none of you will remember how to tie your own shoes.

[Laughs]

Only daisy cottage cheese will do

Abigail: When sarah first got here, she was just like I was after gwen had drugged me. So to keep her calm and occupied, kristen gave her a bunch of books to read.

Chad: And renée’s diary was one of them?

Abigail: Yeah. Yeah, and she became so obsessed with the story, she started to think the entries were hers. And then she had a year to sink deeper and deeper into that delusion.

Chad: Poor sarah. Well, the good news is is we found you so we can head back to salem, and we can get her the help she needs.

Abigail: If I may ask, how did you find me? Not that i didn’t think you would.

Chad: Yeah. Um, ned grainger actually told us where you were.

Abigail: The pilot.

Chad: Mm-hmm. An eyewitness confirmed that he flew out of the airfield the same night you disappeared. I didn’t think that was a coincidence. But there was no flight plan. There was no security cam footage, and I didn’t know what to do. Luckily–luckily tony knew this ned guy a little bit.

Abigail: So you were able to just track him down?

Chad: Yeah, in florida. Tony convinced him to tell us where you were. And now we know kristen put him up to kidnapping you and flying you out here.

Abigail: Actually, it wasn’t kristen. It was ava.

Gwen: Are you mad? Xander could have seen you.

Ava: Relax. I watched him leave, I waited a bit, and then I came up.

Gwen: Why are you here?

Ava: I told you. We got a problem. I saw your step-monster’s article.

Gwen: Oh, that.

Ava: Uh, yeah, that. The deverauxs are back, and they’re using their newspaper to make a big stink about their missing daughter. It’s bad, gwen. It’s very, very bad.

Gwen: Okay, just calm down.

Ava: Well, that’s easy for you to say because abigail didn’t see you wearing the sarah mask.

Gwen: Which is not necessarily a problem.

Ava: I’m sorry, are you joking? What do you think is gonna happen if chad and tony bring dr. Horton and her chatterbox of a cousin back alive and well?

Jack: So xander, I’m sure anna didn’t mean to–

Anna: No, no, no. Jack, don’t apologize for me, ’cause I actually meant to say exactly what I said. And I’m sorry. I wish I didn’t feel the way I do because I care about you. And I realize, jack, that because she is your daughter, that you have tender feelings for her, but I don’T.

Xander: Really? I never would have known.

Jennifer: You know what? I just think we should stay off the subject of gwen right now, right?

Xander: No, no, no. No, let’s stay on the subject. I’d love to. And what I’d like to say is that gwen was deeply unhappy and very angry when she came to salem. That led to her consequently behaving rather badly.

Anna: [Laughs] Rather badly?

Xander: But she’s changed. She’s a wonderful, big-hearted person who feels deep regret for the hurt she caused the people that she now considers to be her family. Never mind “considers,” they are her family, and she’s terribly sorry for the way she behaved towards them.

Anna: Hm. You sure about that?

Jennifer: Anna, please.

Anna: All right, all right. Okay. I’ll shut up now. But I’m sorry– well, I’m not sorry about what I said about gwen. But I am sorry for all of you people in this room who now trust that woman. I mean, she was hired as a nanny to abigail and chad’s kids. And then she sleeps with chad just to ruin abigail’s life? And look what she tried to do to your marriage, you two. Letting you know that he had an affair while you were in a coma? And to what purpose? Spite or whatever?

Jennifer: I’ve gotten past that, anna.

Anna: Well, you are a more forgiving person than I am, because I could never get past the fact that someone took a wrecking ball to my life the way she did to yours and jack’s and to chad and abigail’S.

Xander: Look, can I please just get a word in here?

Anna: No. No. Because I know you’re just gonna go on some more about the big change in her. And yes, people can change. But in the case of gwen rizczech or riz–whatever, however you pronounce her name, I suggest you be careful, xander, because you never know what a woman like that could still be hiding.

Tony: Well, shall we get on with this?

[Both chuckle] Oh, everything looks delicious. Oh. Ow!

Sarah: Daphne dimera raised you better than that. It’s polite to wait until everyone is seated. Really, you were so concerned with decorum earlier. It’s obvious that anna’s lack of breeding has rubbed off on you. But don’t worry, I’ll fix it. I wonder what’s keeping abigail and my long-lost little brother.

Chad: Ava vitali was the one in the sarah mask?

Abigail: I know, it makes no sense. Why would ava want to hurt sarah?

Chad: I don’t know, maybe she was doing it to help a friend.

Abigail: You mean kristen?

Chad: Yeah, they were close at one point.

Abigail: But close enough to want to commit multiple felonies for her?

Chad: She’s in the mob. It’s kind of right up her alley.

Abigail: True.

Chad: Wait, so you– so you ripped off the mask, and then somebody just hit you from behind? Were you able to see whoever it was before you lost consciousness?

Abigail: No, no. The only person I know for sure was there is ava. Of course, maybe we could ask aunt kayla and uncle steve if they have any other insights. We should probably go find them.

Chad: Steve and kayla?

Abigail: Yeah. Kristen kidnapped them in italy and brought them here.

Chad: Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s go.

Trelegy for copd.

Jennifer: Look, uh, what if we try a more neutral subject to talk about?

Anna: That’s fine. I’ve had my say about gwen. Not another word.

Jack: Very good, very good. So xander, we just wanted to tell you– ’cause anna’s already heard the news, that abigail is coming home.

Xander: What?

Jennifer: Yes.

Xander: Oh, you waited this long to tell me?

Jack: Well, I couldn’t get a word in edgewise.

Xander: That is tremendous, tremendous news. That’s why I came over. Gwen and I read jennifer’s article in “the spectator,” and we wanted to express our support.

Anna: Oh, really? And, uh, where is gwen and all her support?

Xander: Well, if you must know, anna, as concerned as gwen was about her sister, she encouraged me to come here without her, given the still strained relationship between her and abigail.

Anna: How sensitive of her.

Jack: Anna, please.

Anna: Okay, all right. All right. On a happier note, it’ll be so wonderful and such a relief when abigail and chad and tony all come back safely to salem.

Jennifer: Yes.

Xander: On that, we can all agree. I know gwen feels the same.

Gwen: You need to stop, okay? Because your speculation, your doomsaying, is not helpful.

Ava: Oh, I’m sorry, gwen. Am I making you nervous?

Gwen: Yes.

Ava: Good. You should be. You should be freaking out, because if sarah and abigail get back here and they start squawking, it’s not just my life that’s gonna go up in smoke. It’s yours too.

Gwen: Kristen’s not gonna let that happen because she promised.

Ava: You think she’s gonna keep her promise?

Gwen: Well, she’s your friend, isn’t she?

Ava: A friend who blackmailed us into helping her escape. Trust me. If kristen’s back is up against the wall, she’s not gonna think twice about selling us out. And if she starts singing, then it is bye-bye, boyfriend. Bye-bye, daddy. Hello, statesville.

Kristen: Ah!

Steve: This should hold her for a while.

Kayla: Come on. Let’s go find abigail and sarah.

Kristen: Well, you better hope that they still remember you. I guess this is goodbye.

Kayla: Oh, no. No, no, no. You are going back to salem, where you’re gonna pay for everything you’ve done. Make no mistake, you’ll see us again.

Kristen: Oh, but by then, you won’t have a clue who I am or why I’m about to kill you.

[Laughing]

[Suspenseful music]

Chad: We need to find steve and kayla.

Tony: They’re here?

Chad: Apparently.

Abigail: Do you know where they are?

Sarah: I might have an idea or two.

Abigail: Could you take us to them, please?

Sarah: No can do, sis. I don’t trust that steve. He threatened kristen. I think he might be that serial killer that she warned me about.

Abigail: Um, okay, steve is my uncle. He’s a wonderful man. Can you please just take us to him and kayla?

Sarah: Okay, I will, right after we eat.

Abigail: We need to go now.

Sarah: Let me make myself clear. If you want to see your aunt and uncle, you will pull up a chair and join us.

Abigail: Fine.

[Tense music]

Chad: So, have you had any problems with the food on the island?

Abigail: Of course I was worried that I was gonna be poisoned, but it’s either eat or starve, so. Food’s been fine so far. This should be fine too.

Sarah: It is better than fine. It is the best chicken you will have in your life, so eat. And then I will take you o steve and kayla, I promise. Come on. What could be the harm in all of us having a nice family dinner together?

[Laughs] Rob did his best to manage his constipation

Gwen: By the way, xander’s not my boyfriend. He’s my fiancé.

Ava: Congratulations. Hm. Anyway, sorry I got a little worked up before.

Gwen: A little?

Ava: All right, the article threw me a little bit. But I’m happy for you, gwen, I really am. Guess what. My son is proposing to his girlfriend tonight.

Gwen: Wow.

Ava: Mm-hmm.

Gwen: Must be something in the water.

Ava: Don’t think so, because I’m drinking it, and nobody’s asking for my hand. Looks like everyone’s getting their happily ever after but me.

Gwen: Ava.

Ava: No, no, it’s all good. I mean, who needs love when you’ve got revenge to keep you warm?

Gwen: I will tell you that revenge does not solve anything. No, it doesn’t– does not make you feel better. It just makes you feel worse. You have to find another way.

Ava: Well, I tried, gwen. I went legit. I decided to stop being so possessive and paranoid. And what’d that get me? A boyfriend who cheated on me with my best friend.

Gwen: Which is awful.

Ava: Yeah. It’s not your problem, it’s mine. But seriously, congratulations. I’m sure that you and xander are going to have a long and happy life together. See ya.

Anna: So on that happy note where we’re all relieved– no, thrilled that your daughter and her husband and my husband will soon be home in salem safe and sound, I guess I better go.

Jack: Of course.

Jennifer: Yes, so good to see you, anna.

Anna: You too as well, my dear. And xander, I strongly urge you to heed my warning about gwen.

Xander: And I urge you, anna, to keep an open mind about my fiancée, who actually speaks quite highly of you.

Anna: [Laughs] Really? Yeah, I bet she’s just wild about me.

Xander: Well, she believes people can change, so she’s confident that one day, you’ll change your mind about her, maybe even offer her your hand in friendship.

Anna: Oh, well, not very likely, but I suppose stranger things have happened. So I’ll see you all soon.

Jennifer: Yes, goodbye.

Jack: Yes. Thank you, yes.

Anna: Just once again, congratulations on the wonderful news.

Jennifer: Yes.

Jack: Thanks.

All: Goodbye.

Jack: Bye.

Anna: Bye.

Jennifer: Bye.

Jack: Goodbye.

Jennifer: Wow.

Xander: Well, that was delightful.

Jennifer: Whew.

Jack: Anna can be outspoken.

Xander: That’s one word for it. Hey, now that we have a moment, just us, and you’ve gotten that great news about abigail, I just wanted to ask you, jack, if you’d be my best mate when I marry your other daughter?

Jack: Well, I– I have to think about it. Okay, I’ve thought about it, and yes, I’d be glad and happy to be your best mate.

[All laughing]

Xander: Well, I’m glad and happy to be your mate and soon, your son-in-law.

Jack: And that will make me a lucky man indeed.

Abigail: Well, the sooner we finish, the sooner sarah will take us to find aunt kayla and uncle steve.

Chad: I got to admit, this island chicken is actually really good.

Sarah: [Chuckles]

Kayla: No!

Steve: Don’t eat that chicken!

Kayla: Don’t eat the chicken!

Abigail: Oh, steve!

Kayla: My god, it’s too late.

Chad: What do you mean it’s too late? My asthma felt anything but normal.

Kayla: How much did you eat?

Chad: I ate half a chicken!

Sarah: Would you all calm down, please? No one has been poisoned.

Kayla: That’s not true. Kristen told us that she drugged the food.

Sarah: And I’m telling you she didn’T. I switched it out.

Tony: Switched it out with what?

Sarah: I found this earlier in the kitchen when kristen was cooking. It was filled with this weird, cloudy liquid, and it had a feather next to it. And then I remembered kristen telling me that the serial killer that was after me used a raven’s feather as his calling card.

Kayla: Well, that’s probably just a chicken feather.

Sarah: Well, we can’t be too careful. So I poured out the liquid, and I–I cleaned it very well. And then I filled it up with milk.

Chad: Just regular milk?

Sarah: We have goats here.

Abigail: So we’re not in any danger?

Sarah: Well, not unless you’re lactose intolerant.

Jack: For you, my love.

Jennifer: [Gasps] Oh. What is this? Why are you giving me this rose?

Jack: I don’t know. Check your calendar.

Jennifer: [Gasps] Jack. It’s valentine’s day. Oh.

Jack: All day long.

Jennifer: I feel terrible. What–I– oh, with everything going on, how did you even find time to shop?

Jack: Well, as a matter of fact, I’ve got a little story, mrs. Deveraux. You see, a long time ago, this plucky, young intern–

Jennifer: Plucky, I like it.

Jack: Yeah. Her name was jennifer rose horton, or ms. Horton for short.

Jennifer: Mm-hmm.

Jack: She came storming into my office, my newsroom, and my life and turned everything upside down and taught me a thing or two about faith.

Jennifer: Is that right?

Jack: Oh, yes. And with that faith, I decided to distract my mind for half an hour from worrying about our daughter to make sure that her mother had a valentine’s day to remember.

Jennifer: Bless your sweet heart, jack.

Jack: And that faith assured me that abigail would be coming home, the same way that I will always come home to you, my ms. Horton, jennifer rose.

Jennifer: I love you forever, jack deveraux.

Jack: I love you.

Jennifer: Happy valentine’S.

Jack: Happy valentine’s day.

Chad: What are we doing up here? We have to get on the jet and go home.

Abigail: I just want to grab this. We might need it if we want to be able to speak to renéE. I just really want sarah to be okay.

Chad: When we get home, we’re gonna be able to get her the help that she needs, okay? And I got to say how impressed I am that you knew that that was not sarah back in salem. I mean, I still can’t believe that it was ava.

Abigail: Neither can I.

Chad: As soon as we get home, she’s going down, and so is her accomplice.

[Door unlocks]

Gwen: How did it go with jack and jennifer?

Xander: Interesting.

Gwen: Interesting? How so?

Xander: Anna dimera was there.

Gwen: Oh. Yeah. She’s my biggest fan.

Xander: Forget that old windbag, I have some good news.

Gwen: Do you? Tell me.

Xander: Yeah, well, for starters, your dad agreed to stand up for me.

Gwen: Xander, that is wonderful.

Xander: That’s not all. Looks like abigail will be back in time for our wedding.

Gwen: What?

Xander: They found abigail. She’s coming home.

Sarah: You have no idea how happy I am that we’re finally together.

Tony: I have some idea.

Sarah: I can’t wait to get back to salem. Our first stop is gonna be divorce court.

Tony: Who’s getting divorced?

Sarah: You are. You’re going to kick that hideous anna to the curb.

Tony: Huh?

Sarah: [Laughs]

Kayla: I can’t wait to see kristen’s face when she finds out their plane was ruined.

Steve: Yeah, by her precious renee and some goat’s milk.

Kayla: She’s gone.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nick: If fireworks are detonating between ashland, dad, and victoria, I want the details.

Adam: Well, at the moment, I’m just speculating. Look, you’re a busy man. I’m happy to give you a call and give you an update when there is some news.

Nick: I’m not going anywhere.

Adam: Okay, well, can I take this to mean that you’ve changed your mind? You’re ready to team up with dad in calling ashland out for this hoax?

Nick: I don’t know what I’m gonna do, but if victoria’s in trouble, I can’t walk away from her.

Adam: Well, it’s too bad you weren’t here earlier. You could’ve helped me stall her while dad was confronting locke. God knows I am her least favorite person. I tried, but she did not stay long.

Nick: How hard did you try?

Adam: I’m not sure what you’re getting at.

Nick: Things could be blowing up with dad and victoria right now. I don’t think you’d have a problem with that. You might even be glad.

Adam: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: Ashland, are you in there?

[ Knock on door ]

Victor: Do we have a deal?

Nikki: Victoria.

Victoria: Hi. How did the marketing meeting go?

Nikki: All projects are on target to meet their deadlines.

Victoria: Thanks again for covering for me.

Nikki: I’ll fill you in on the details.

Victoria: I’d appreciate that.

[ Sighs ]

Nikki: After you tell me why we’re locked out of your office.

Victoria: I don’t know. Your guess is as good as mine. But I left my key in there when I went to newman media.

Nikki: I have one. I’ll get it.

Victor: I have proof that you have been lying about your illness from the beginning.

Ashland: No. All you have is theory.

Victor: I can share the evidence with victoria. I’d rather not. I don’t want her to be upset unnecessarily. If you have any love for her at all, you’ll agree to my terms. You will suffer a sudden relapse, you will have to go back to peru for treatment. Then you cut your ties with victoria as painlessly as possible. If you don’t follow my terms, you will suffer the consequences of your deception.

[ Door opens ]

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Someone want to tell me what the hell’s going on here?

Abby: If you’re here to see dominic, your timing couldn’t be any better.

Devon: Really? Why, what happened?

Abby: Well, he just got out of the bath and he smells delicious.

Devon: Uh-oh, a bath in the middle of the day — I hate to ask. Why?

Abby: He tried sweet potatoes and peas for the first time.

Devon: Oh, okay.

Abby: Yeah, it was a mess.

[ Laughs ]

Devon: Any pictures of it?

Abby: Only like a million.

Devon: Oh, good.

Abby: Just so happy that his appetite is finally coming back.

Devon: Oh, I know. He’ll be packing away the food in no time.

Abby: Yeah. Well, louise is upstairs getting him dressed if you want to head up to the nursery.

Devon: Yeah, yeah, I did come by to see him, but I also came by to ask you and chance if you guys would be okay with him coming and staying over for a couple days.

Abby: Oh, um…like today?

Devon: Yeah, only if it’s okay with you, though, ’cause i figure his recovery’s going so well that we can get our visits back on schedule.

Abby: Well, yes, he is improving, but we still have to be very careful.

Devon: Oh, yeah, absolutely. I know that. I would be extremely careful and attentive.

Abby: No, of course you would. I’m not implying otherwise. I just — I know that you’ve been wanting to spend some time with him at your place.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: Hey.

Chance: Hey, guys.

Abby: How was your walk?

Chance: It was good.

Devon: I just stopped by to see dominic.

Chance: Oh, yeah.

Abby: Yeah, devon was asking if he could take him to his place for a couple of days.

Chance: Oh, well, I get why. He’s a fun little kid to have around, huh?

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: Yeah, it’s just hard for me to think about him not being here at night. You know, I’m still waking up a couple times a night to check on him.

Devon: Yeah, I completely get where you’re coming from. I’ve been waking up myself in the middle of the night worrying about him, and he’s not even in my house.

Chance: Well, maybe it’s not such a bad idea. I told you I was a little worried, given what’s happening later.

Devon: Wait, why’s that? What’s happening? My skin but better.

Chance: I got my first therapy session later on today.

Devon: Really? With sharon?

Chance: No, no, someone she recommended. Ex-military.

Devon: Oh, that’s perfect. That’s perfect. Good for you, man.

Chance: Thank you. You know, without your words of encouragement the other day, I — well, I’d probably still be avoiding all this. Thank you.

Abby: Hmm, what’d I miss?

Chance: Oh, nothing. Devon just helped me realize that I can’t do this by myself. It’s time to find some help. You know, since we’re being honest with each other, I, uh — I’m pretty nervous about it, and I’m worried how I’m gonna be afterwards. I don’t know if I’m gonna be off, and I would hate for dominic to see me like that.

Abby: Yeah, chance is right. I’m sorry if I was hesitant before.

Devon: No, please. You don’t ever have to apologize to me.

Abby: Okay, well, I’ll go get dominic’s things ready.

Devon: Sounds good. Thank you. And, hey, I appreciate you helping her be cool with it.

Chance: And we’re lucky to have a friend like you to lean on, really.

Devon: I’m the lucky one to have you guys.

Chance: I meant what I said, too. If you hadn’t opened up and told me about your struggles, how hard it was for you, I’d — I’d still be toughing this out on my own, I feel like.

Devon: Well, let me tell you, it takes a very strong person to make the call that you did, so just know that what you’re doing isn’t just gonna benefit, it’s gonna benefit your whole family.

Chance: Yeah, that’s what I’m hoping for.

Devon: It will. And know that it’s not just like flipping a light switch, it’s gonna take time.

Chance: I know, I know, i know. There’s a lot that I have to face that I don’t really want to face.

Devon: I’m sure, but know that it’s worth it. Definitely is, and I have zero doubt that you will make it to the other side.

Chance: Thank you.

Devon: Yeah.

Adam: There’s no part of me that’s enjoying this situation.

Nick: You and vick aren’t close. You don’t support each other.

Adam: I don’t think that’s a fair statement, given everything that I did to support her at her wedding.

Nick: We both know you did that for dad, not her.

Adam: Regardless of what my motives were, I did a hell of a lot more than you did — that is for sure. You were not at the ceremony. You weren’t even at the reception.

Nick: That’s because I told her who ashland locke really was, and she asked me to stay away.

Adam: Okay. Be that as it may, neither you nor I wanted this guy to be part of the family, and after dad welcomed him with open arms, after he was fully aware of what he was capable of, I decided to trust his judgment, and I kept my mouth shut.

Nick: And you have been filled with resentment ever since, especially after ashland and victoria bought newman media and then you became their subordinate.

Adam: [ Scoffs ] Wrong. Ashland is an unbearable, back-stabbing son of a bitch — among other things. But, yeah, am I happy that I’m not gonna have to answer to him, assuming dad’s plan — whatever it is — works? Sure. Break out the champagne. But that is completely different than celebrating victoria’s broken heart after a failed marriage. Not that vindictive or small. So maybe you’re projecting your own feelings about the situation, nicholas.

Nick: Not the case at all. Was my prediction about ashland doing something awful right? Yes, but I meant it when I said I would rather be wrong about that. Victoria’s had to deal with more betrayals than anyone I’ve ever met. How do you think she’s gonna react when she finds out that ashland has been playing her for a fool? She’s gonna be crushed.

Victoria: Well, who wants to tell me why I was locked out of my office?

Ashland: Actually, I think that was my fault. I must’ve inadvertently locked the door when I came in.

Victoria: Daddy, what are you doing here? I thought that you wanted to meet me in adam’s office.

Ashland: Also my fault. Victor reached out to me and wanted to talk to me privately.

Victoria: Why?

Ashland: Well, the same thing that we wanted to talk to him about, basically — our plan to name a co-ceo of newman/locke. Apparently nikki was right, and your father has, uh…reservations.

Victor: By the way, when did you know about this?

Nikki: I only learned about it earlier today. I suggested victoria discuss it with you.

Victoria: I should ask you the same question, daddy. How did you know about our plans? Don’t tell me you have another mole in business affairs.

Victor: Sweetheart, that’s nonsense, okay? Nothing to do with it, and how i found out is not the issue.

Victoria: Well, if you’re going to be my advisor, there has to be a modicum of trust between us. Why did you want to talk to ashland without me?

Victor: Sweetheart, it isn’t like that at all. Ashland and I had a very productive conversation. I think we are seeing eye-to-eye. I mean, correct me if I’m wrong. I’m steve.

Abby: I love you.

Devon: Ready?

Abby: Call me anytime.

Devon: You do the same.

Abby: Bye.

Devon: Okay?

Abby: Have fun.

Devon: Thank you. I’ll see you guys.

Chance: See you guys.

Devon: Bye.

Abby: [ Sighs ] Is it ever gonna be any easier watching him leave?

Chance: Oh, well, look at it this way — by the time he goes off to his first day of school, you’ll be the one tough mom who’s not crying at all.

Abby: Stop it right now, ’cause I don’t even want to think about that. But you’re right. Dominic is gonna have a great time at devon’s, and I will be able to give you my undivided attention when you get home from therapy. Hey, why don’t I just ride with you? I can go shopping or grab a coffee while you’re meeting with dr. Huffman.

Chance: No, it’s all good. Thank you, though. I’ll be fine. And who knows? I might not even click with this guy. Takes a couple meetings to find the person you want, right? So who knows?

Abby: Hey, no pressure for some sort of breakthrough. Today is all about feeling it out, testing the waters, and just opening up about your feelings to someone.

Chance: [ Sighs ] Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Abby: Hey, no matter what happens, everything is gonna be okay because I am gonna be here waiting for you when you get home.

Chance: [ Exhales sharply ] You don’t know how much I’m hanging onto that.

Abby: Mm.

Nick: So what’s the game plan? What’s dad’s next move?

Adam: I couldn’t say.

Nick: Is that code for “i know what it is, but I’m gonna keep it quiet”?

Adam: Look, I understand why you would be suspicious after everything that went down in tuscany, but honestly, I do not know what dad has in store any more than you do.

Nick: Alright, I guess we’re both in the dark.

Adam: I mean, if you want me to speculate, I’d be happy to. Victor said he was gonna try to force ashland’s hand, so he’ll probably try to get him to confess or get him to turn himself in to the police.

Nick: Why would the police get involved? Is faking an illness a terrible and awful thing to do? Yes, but it’s not against the law.

Adam: He used the fabrication to trick victoria into marrying him — that is fraud.

Nick: Okay, grounds for annulment, but is it a crime? Victoria can invalidate the marriage, but it’s gonna be very difficult for her to get him out of her life for good. He owns half of newman/locke.

Adam: Yeah, he went through a lot of trouble and deception to make the merger happen.

Nick: If he goes, it won’t be quietly.

Victoria: Ashland and I are a team. We make decisions together, and I don’t need to be protected from that, unless your goal is to divide and conquer.

Ashland: No, it’s okay, victoria. Your father and I both want the same things — we want what’s best for you, we want what’s best for newman/locke, so now that you’re here and you see what’s — what’s going on, i think it might be best that your father express his concerns to you directly.

Victoria: Agreed.

[ Chuckles ] So what issue could you possibly have with ashland becoming co-ceo of a company that bears his name?

Victor: Sweetheart, I just think it’s too soon, you know? I mean, who’s to guarantee that ashland’s health will improve? I mean, think of all the stress you would be under on a day-to-day basis. He might have a relapse.

Victoria: I think there has to be more to it than that. I mean, obviously ashland has cleared this with his doctor, and he’s agreed. You know who ashland is at his core. He’s the same kind of person that we are. He — he’s fueled by his work. It energizes him. Taking this role, it’s what’s best for him.

Victor: If that is what he tells you, then, you know…

Victoria: Nobody has to tell me anything. I see it for myself. He’s been getting stronger, he’s doing wonderful. I mean, we’ve been bouncing ideas off of each other. We’re totally in sync, and that’s exactly how a company needs to be run — with both of us firing on all cylinders.

Nikki: You know, I think victor has a good point. I mean, really, it might be best to increase ashland’s involvement a little bit at a time. I worry that if we throw him in the deep end too soon, it could be too much for him.

Victoria: Well, if his condition worsens, then he’ll just take a step back. But I don’t see that happening. And in the meantime, what logical reason do we have to deny him the title and respect and the authority that he deserves? In fact, I am prepared to sign that agreement right now. I’ve been telling everyone… Do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need? Now you can sell your policy – even a term policy – for an immediate cash payment. We thought we had planned carefully for our retirement. But we quickly realized we needed a way to supplement our income. If you have $100,000 or more of life insurance, you may qualify to sell your policy. Don’t cancel or let your policy lapse without finding out what it’s worth. Visit coventrydirect.Com to find out if your policy qualifies. Or call the number on your screen. Coventry direct, redefining insurance. I just heard something amazing!

Nikki: Victoria, are you sure you want to do this?

Victoria: Mother.

Nikki: Well, what’s the harm in waiting a day or two, give it some more thought?

Ashland: I would not be opposed to that at all. Really, if a little more time, a little more consideration would make everyone feel good about this…

Victoria: Everyone does not need to feel good about this. My father wanted to weight in, I was willing to listen, but in the end, it’s my decision to make, and I know this is the right thing to do. Ashland?

Ashland: [ Gasps ] Just — just —

[ Breathing heavily ]

Victoria: Ashland, what’s going on?

Nikki: Oh, my gosh.

Victoria: Are you okay?

Ashland: Yes, I — I’m okay. I just — I’m sorry, I just —

Victoria: No, it’s okay.

Ashland: I think I just need to get a little air.

Nikki: I’ll get you some water.

Ashland: Can we just do this later, please?

Victoria: Yes, of course.

Ashland: I just need to step outside. I’m sorry.

Victoria: I’ll come with you. No, it’s okay, don’t be ridiculous.

Ashland: Listen, I’m really sorry, I really am sorry.

Nikki: Let us know if there’s anything we can do. Oh, my god.

Victor: You see?

Nikki: What — what I saw was a man suffering.

Victor: What you saw was a liar.

Nikki: What do you mean?

Victor: This was a performance he put on for your sake, for victoria’s sake. He did exactly what I asked him to do.

Adam: Pretty ironic, right? Victoria gets all kinds of praise for making the merger of the decade, when she was actually falling into a trap. And now she’s bringing the whole family down with her.

Nick: Adam, if I find out you’re using this to your advantage in any way —

Adam: I am not the one that you need to worry about. None of this is my fault. If you want to punish somebody, go find locke. But that would mean that you would need to get out of neutral territory, okay? So stop trying to be the good guy when you don’t have any skin in the game.

Nick: I’m not neutral, I’m pissed, and I’m staying out of it because I don’t know what dad’s plan is and I have no interest in being a pawn. But if vick is in trouble, she knows I will always be there for her.

Adam: What, a shoulder to cry on? Think she’s gonna need a little more than that after this.

Nick: And that’s what I keep coming back to. Saw this coming 50 miles away. I’ve tried to tell anybody about it who would listen, but they didn’t want to hear it. So what are my options? I can either stay on the sidelines, just tell vick that she made her bed and it’s not my problem, or I can walk away and let ashland get away with everything he’s ever done.

Adam: Well, which one is easier to live with?

Nick: [ Scoffs ] Neither.

Adam: Nick, you always pretend to be above it all, but the truth is, when the chips are down and someone comes after one of the newmans, you’re gonna get pulled back in just like the rest of us.

Devon: There you go. You remember this place, buddy? Do you remember? Remember your uncle moses and amanda and your bedroom upstairs with that big window? You can see the city out of it. Yeah. I want you to know you always have a home here, little man, full of people that love you very, very much. Even when you’re grown and you have a family of your own, you walk through those doors and you will be home. ‘Cause you belong here, too. That’s right. There you go.

Dr. Huffman: Have a seat. Make yourself comfortable.

Chance: Thank you, thank you.

[ Sighs ] So, uh, you’re ex-military?

Dr. Huffman: Army, captain, three tours overseas.

Chance: Alright. See any action?

Dr. Huffman: [ Sighs ] Things I couldn’t forget.

Chance: Stuck with you, too.

Dr. Huffman: Yeah, you know, I got help. Sometimes it’s not always easy for guys like us.

Chance: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Dr. Huffman: How’d you find your way to me?

Chance: Sharon rosales. She’s a close family friend.

Dr. Huffman: Oh, yeah.

Chance: She — she thought I’d be more comfortable with someone who served.

Dr. Huffman: Are you? Comfortable now.

Chance: [ Sighs ] Far from it.

Dr. Huffman: [ Chuckles ] Thank you for your honesty. I can’t think of anybody who’s at ease their first day of therapy.

Chance: Alright, that’s good to hear.

Dr. Huffman: So, we’ll start with the easy stuff. Why are you here?

Chance: Um…well, I just want to be me again.

(Upbeat music)

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Devon: See? That’s how we play music. Just like that. That’s right. And if you don’t like the piano, you can play whatever you want, man. You can play the drums one day. You can play the trumpet. Yeah, or the guitar, maybe. Or you know what you can do? You can be a producer just like me, if you want, and then you can fill the whole world with new sounds. That’d be cool, huh? Gosh, man, I can’t wait to find out what you’re gonna be. But take your time. Take your time, ’cause you have your whole life. You’ll find it out. That’s right.

[ Chuckles ]

Dr. Huffman: Tell me about your family.

Chance: Yeah, yeah. Um…been married a year and a half. My wife’s name is abby. She’s great. She’s a great mom, very supportive, very patient with me. She’s a catch.

Dr. Huffman: How many children?

Chance: One so far. He was born when I was in spain, actually. Well, you know what? Actually, it’s a little bit more complicated than that. He’s not my biological son. You see, before I left the us, i was shot, and I —

Dr. Huffman: That happened when you were a civilian?

Chance: Yeah, yeah, that’s — that’s a long story. Actually, I was a detective at the gcpd for a while.

Dr. Huffman: Oh. We can circle back around.

Chance: Okay. Anyways, as soon as we got married, we tried to have children. She had some medical issues that prevented her from carrying a pregnancy to term, and for me, it was an infection that I got after I was shot in the hospital. So we had to use a donor and a surrogate.

Dr. Huffman: Your wife’s egg, but a donor for you, and someone else carried the baby?

Chance: Yeah, I know. Takes a village, right?

Dr. Huffman: Sounds like you really wanted to start a family.

Chance: Yeah, we always said the sooner, the better. That’s why we didn’t wait till i got back. We just moved on forward.

Dr. Huffman: How long were you away?

Chance: Almost a year.

Dr. Huffman: The whole pregnancy.

Chance: Yeah. Yeah.

Dr. Huffman: That had to be difficult.

Chance: Yeah, I missed my son being born.

Dr. Huffman: I’m sorry.

Chance: I really missed a lot. My wife keeps telling me that I’ll catch up, you know? But… I mean, see, doc, there’s this — there’s this guy, he’s the donor, he helped us. He’s a close family friend. And now we’re sharing custody with him.

Dr. Huffman: Now? So it wasn’t always that way?

Chance: No, that’s — that’s recent. At his request.

Dr. Huffman: Has that change been difficult for you?

Chance: Not really. For me, no. For my wife, yeah. And I just see the way that he is with my son — he adores him. He does anything for that kid. Recently, he needed medical intervention, and devon was there, no questions asked.

Dr. Huffman: How’s your son doing?

Chance: He’s good. Thanks for asking. He’s getting better every day. Um…it’s me I’m a little worried about. I, uh — I just feel like I’m — feel like I’m still waiting.

Dr. Huffman: For what?

Chance: To feel connected to him. To feel like he’s my son. Like a father should be. You know, the way that I think that I would feel if I was the man I was before I went on that mission.

Dr. Huffman: Okay. Sounds like we need to talk about what happened to you over there.

Chance: [ Sighs ]

Sally: I saw your father and brother leaving your office earlier. More family drama?

Adam: [ Sighs ] Never-ending.

Sally: Which category does it fall under — none of my business or something that could affect newman media?

Adam: Um…the latter.

Sally: I’m intrigued. And as your coo, a little concerned.

Adam: Well, I’ll spare you the details. Um…long story short, the whirlwind romance between ashland and my sister is likely about to implode.

Victor: Ashland can keep up this charade, okay? And then he will suddenly have a relapse and he will have to return to peru for “treatment.” And then he will cut off all ties to victoria and newman/locke.

Nikki: So he admitted to the lie?

Victor: Sweetheart, you saw how he backed off from signing that document. He’s a monster. I really need to understand that.

Nikki: Victor, what if you’re mistaken? I mean, what if ashland really is sick? Maybe he just wanted to get victoria alone, and he could be telling her right now what you accused him of. If that’s the case, she’s gonna side with him and be furious with you. Oh, victoria, we thought you left with ashland.

Victoria: He insisted on being alone.

Victor: I’m so glad you came back.

Victoria: Well, that makes two of us, because I want to make something absolutely clear to you. What you did to ashland is utterly unacceptable. Sweet pillows of softness!

Dr. Huffman: Tell me about the night that everything went sideways in spain.

Chance: Um…our cover was blown. We had no warning, no indication. I was walking in to the safe house carrying groceries. Next thing I know, all hell’s breaking loose.

Dr. Huffman: An explosion?

Chance: It was like earth just got ripped in half, you know? I was blown back, hit my head. I couldn’t see, I couldn’t hear. I was pretty out of it. Once I came back and the smoke cleared…I just saw nothing. Absolutely nothing. Our whole building was just gone. And I — I made my way through, you know, what was left, looking for my team. Nothing. Um…then I had some — some men approaching the site. You know, they were walking. They weren’t running, they were walking real slow, real deliberate. And it was our targets. They came looking for survivors. Came to, uh — came to finish the job.

Dr. Huffman: What did you do?

Chance: I, um…I buried myself in some rubble and i played dead. Not my proudest moment. Anyways, emergency personnel showed up. You know, we all heard the sirens. They took off. I made sure everything was clear, and then I did the same. I got out of town and I found some friends that I served in iraq with. Former medics. Patched me up, let me hide out there.

DR. Huffman: Good people.

Chance: Yeah, the best. Craziest part is my family was told that I was dead. My wife, abby, she — she didn’t believe it. So she came looking for me, and she found me, she brought me back, and…yeah.

Dr. Huffman: Your family must have felt like it was a miracle you survived.

Chance: It was the answer to their prayers, right? Keep saying how lucky I am, that I’m a hero.

Dr. Huffman: And you don’t agree?

Chance: No, that didn’t sit well with me.

Dr. Huffman: [ Sighs ] Tell me, how often do you replay that day in your mind?

Chance: Every day.

Dr. Huffman: Mm.

Chance: I mean, it’s to the point where I hear a car backfire and I’m back. I catch a certain smell, if the sky is a certain shade of blue, I’m back. I just can’t escape it.

Dr. Huffman: Do you dream about it?

Chance: Mm-hmm. I thought that would stop over time, but it didn’T. Um…I usually just see faces.

Dr. Huffman: Mm-hmm.

Chance: Like my team. I can see their face. They talk to me, and, you know, they ask me things. It’s like this torture that i can’t escape.

Dr. Huffman: Do you think you’re being punished?

Chance: Yeah.

Dr. Huffman: For what?

Chance: Failure. I failed my team.

Sally: Tell me this is some horrible joke. There is no way that victoria and ashland’s honeymoon is already over, after that incredible wedding in tuscany. They were so in love.

Adam: You know, things aren’t always as they appear, especially when it comes to locke.

Sally: If you tell me that he’s been cheating on her, i will never forgive him.

Adam: Wow, I didn’t realize that you were so invested in their relationship.

Sally: Well, I wouldn’t necessarily say that, but, i mean, I can’t help but feel for your sister. Her wedding made international news, partly because of the unforgettable dress I designed.

Adam: Okay, I guess you do have a big of a stake in this.

Sally: If she and locke split after a matter of months, she’s not only gonna be heartbroken, but she’s going to be humiliated. I know that you two aren’t the closest of siblings, but you have to at least be somewhat sympathetic to her plight. Right?

Victor: Which line do you think I’ve crossed?

Victoria: You upset and you insulted my husband. Acting like we’re doing him some favor by allowing him to help us run this company that he half owns! He is a brilliant businessman. He has connections all over the globe. He is feared and respected by top corporate leaders. Explain to me why would I keep an asset like him on the sideline.

Victor: Well, I mean, i wouldn’t mind if he gave you some advice every so often, but why give him all this authority?

Victoria: It is so frustrating for him to work this way. He feels like he’s got one hand tied behind his back.

Victor: Mm.

Victoria: You know, it was one thing when he was ill and he could only handle a supporting role.

Victor: Well, maybe he just had a relapse, you know? Perhaps he’s not as well as he wants us to believe he is.

Victoria: He is reacting to the pressure that you’re putting on him, and I do not believe for one moment that your objection has anything to do with ashland’s health. It’s all about control for you. That’s the way that it’s always been. You’re the king-maker. It’s all about you. You can’t stand the fact that I’m making the decisions. Why can you not just learn, daddy, to trust my judgment? I’m in this place because i deserve to be here, so let me do my job in my company the way that I see fit.

[ Sighs ] What are you doing here?

Nick: I just came to see how you’re doing.

Victoria: Right, innocent visit. You just happen to be in the neighborhood. You’re here because you knew exactly what dad was up to. Don’t deny it, nicholas. I can see it all over your face. So how long have you known about this? Has the entire family been discussing this behind my back?

Abby: Hey.

Chance: Hey.

Abby: How’d it go?

Chance: It went.

Abby: Did you like your therapist?

Chance: Yeah. Yeah, he was cool. Seems to know what he’s talking about, so that’s a good sign.

Abby: Did you guys get into any of the tough stuff? You know what? It’s none of my business. I just — I worry.

Chance: I know. And you know me — if I’m gonna do something, I’m gonna do it. But, damn, is it hard. I’m exhausted. There’s a lot of work to do. Not gonna be any quick fixes.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Chance: What? No, no, come out with it. If I can’t hold back, neither can you. Come on.

Abby: Look, I know that you think you have to be perfect and that there are a lot of broken pieces that need to be put back together, but I love you. Always. No matter what. And we are gonna get through this together. I’m just so proud of you for facing this head on.

Adam: Of course I feel bad for victoria. Wasn’t that long ago that I got my heart broken by someone i loved and trusted. Wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.

Sally: Then why are you so calm about this?

Adam: Because she’s a survivor, just like the rest of the newmans. And the family will rally around her. That is what I was talking to nick and my dad about.

Sally: This must be a huge disappointment for victor. I know he was counting on victoria and ashland to run his empire, but if ashland gets kicked to the curb, victoria — bare minimum — is gonna be distracted if not devastated. She could lose focus and question her decisions. Newman/locke could suffer. But who would be in charge?

Adam: $10 billion question.

Ashland: Just…listen to me. You need to find everyone who’s talking to michael baldwin and put an end to it immediately. And forever. Do we understand each other?

Victoria: How old do I have to be? And what is it that I must do to live my life without constant interference from our father?

Nick: Just get out of the business, vick. The closer you are to the fire, the worse you get burned.

Victoria: He has been going behind my back and spying on me. It’s intolerable. And apparently you knew all about it, because why else would you be here?

Nick: Don’t lump me in with all this, alright? I had nothing to do with it. Dad just filled me in a little while ago.

Victoria: If I find out that you’re lying to me…

Nick: Everything I’m telling you is true. I learned a long time ago to stop involving myself in your life. I didn’t even know dad was gonna tell you about it.

Victoria: Wait a minute. Tell me what?

Portia: Check out the double-sided fireplace. And look, all this outdoor space for entertaining. Hold on.

Curtis: Look at that big room for Trina, just in case she wants a break from dorm life.

Portia: What do you think?

Curtis: Well… I think it’s perfect. And I take it you agree.

Portia: I absolutely love it.

Curtis: I absolutely love you.

Portia: Oh, my gosh. Did we just find our new home?

Curtis: We might have.

Portia: [ Squeals ] Wow. Oh, baby.

Curtis: Baby.

Jordan: What does it take for a girl to get a drink around here?

Curtis: Jordan.

Jordan: Hello, Curtis. Portia.

Portia: [ Chuckles ]

Britt: Nina, hi.

Nina: Hi. I’m so sorry to surprise you like this.

Britt: No, it’s fine. Is everything okay?

Nina: No, I’m just so damn tired of Carly painting me as this home-wrecking schemer, you know? And everyone’s just standing in line, taking her side. And yes, I’m not blameless. I’m not saying that. I am human. But she’s the one who rejected Sonny and sh– the divorce — it’s on her. It’s not on sonny. And it’s certainly, Britt, not on me.[ Exhales deeply ]

Britt: Feel better?

Nina: A little. Thanks. I just — I guess I needed to just say that out loud, and… I know that you’ve been on the receiving end of Carly’s special blend of malice, so you can sympathize.

Britt: Mm, not really.

Anna: It’s not that I don’t trust you. It’s just that I don’t trust you. Why meet there of all places? Alright, I’m on my way. But listen, if this is a trap, one of us will regret it, and it won’t be me.

Maxie: Your friendship means a lot to me.

Austin: Okay, how much?

Maxie: Like, on a scale from one to 10?

Austin: Sure.

Maxie: [ Scoffs ]

Austin: There was a time not long ago, Maxie, when you and I talked about being more than just friends.

Maxie: I remember.

Austin: But you said that you wanted to focus on getting your then-Louise now-Bailey-Louise back.

Maxie: And she is.

Austin: Right. So what are you gonna focus on now?

Elizabeth: Betsy. I wasn’t expecting you.

Betsy: There’s something I need to — uh, I-I-I thought you’d be alone.

Elizabeth: Betsy, wait. You’re clearly here for a reason. Just tell me what it is.

Betsy: I wasn’t honest with you before. You deserve the truth, Elizabeth. All of it.

Finn: The truth about what?

Betsy: You’re the doctor, right?

Elizabeth: Yes, this is Dr. Hamilton Finn. He’s a friend of mine. But you already know that.

Betsy: I guess I do.

Elizabeth: You said I deserve to know the truth.

Betsy: About what? About…[ Gasps ]

Elizabeth: Betsy?

Betsy: It’s, uh… about why I’m here and what I’ve done.

Austin: I shouldn’t have done that.

Maxie: Um, I’m the one that kissed you.

Austin: Uh, yes, you did. That’s true. You did.

Maxie: Should I not have?

Austin: N– oh, Maxie, I’ve wanted us to kiss since… I mean, I-I can’t pinpoint the exact moment, but for quite a while now.

Maxie: What stopped you?

Austin: Well, when we first met, you were under extreme duress from the life that you had before we met. And then you were holding vigil for your lost daughter, even though she was hiding in plain sight from your psycho ex.

Maxie: Right. And you were comforting me.

Austin: I tried. And then I felt really guilty that I accidentally told Victor something that helped him and… I don’t know, and then… after your nut-job ex was no longer a threat —

Maxie: oh, no. I think the word you’re looking for is “dead.”

Austin: Yes, he’s dead.

Maxie: Um, why didn’t you kiss me then?

Austin: When Peter died? You were in Europe.

Maxie: After I got back.

Austin: Well… I-I just thought you — I don’t know. You might want a little space to process things.

Maxie: Okay, wait. So are you not trying to rush things or you want to respect my feelings?

Austin: I do. You say that like it’s a bad thing.

Maxie: No, no, it’s not. Not at all. If that’s really the reason.

Austin: What other reason could there be?

Maxie: Maybe you’re having second thoughts?

Curtis: I knew you were coming back soon. How about giving a guy a heads up?

Jordan: Ever since I got the okay from my doctors, all I’ve been focusing on is getting back.

Curtis: Does TJ know?

Jordan: Yes, he knows. I haven’t seen him yet. I went straight to G.H., But he was still in surgery.

Curtis: Okay.

Portia: Well, isn’t that doctors for you? Always inconsiderate of other people’s time.

Jordan: I know, right? What’s wrong with all of you? It’s good to see you, Portia.

Portia: Mm, it’s good to see you, too, Jordan. And since I’m a doctor, I can’t help but ask you, how’s the recovery going?

Jordan: So long as I don’t inhale a basement full of carbon monoxide again, I’m good to go.

Portia: Yeah. [ Chuckles ] Once was good enough for me, too. I just have to say that you look absolutely wonderful.
Jordan: Thank you. I feel good. Anyway, I didn’t mean to interrupt. I’ll catch up with you both some other time.

Curtis: Oh, please, please, you know better than that. Have a seat.

Portia: Uh, I’m meeting TJ and Stella for dinner, and I thought — well… never mind what I thought. You’re busy, so I’ll catch you later.

Curtis: Jordan, wait. Jordan, wait.

Nina: Are you on Carly’s side?

Britt: Absolutely not.

Nina: Well, I didn’t think so, Britt. I mean, clearly I was distracted when I was in Nixon Falls with everything that was going on, but I got the impression that you had a real connection with Jason. And then all of a sudden, Carly swoops in and the next thing you know, he’s marrying her.

Britt: Yeah. [ Scoffs ] That happened because Carly and Jason thought Sonny was dead. And that happened because of you. Look, I-I’m not judging you, okay? I’ve done more than my share of scheming. I’ve told lies that are arguably just as damaging. Besides, we’re family. That promise we made on Nathan’s grave is one I want to keep. So if anyone’s coming for you, Nina, I have your back.

Nina: Thank you.

Britt: But as family, I feel justified to call B.S. When I’m hearing it. A-and maybe you didn’t set out to wreck Carly’s marriage. But that is what you did. And there was bound to be fallout.

Anna: What is this about? Look, whatever game you’re playing, I have had enough drama recently to last me a lifetime, so whatever game this is, just count me out, okay?

Dr. Obrecht: I’m sorry, Anna. I’m afraid you’re “all in” now. Up to your pretty little neck.

Elizabeth: Okay, betsy, what have you done?

Betsy: Are these yours?

Elizabeth: No, they’re my son’s. Jake’s.

Betsy: The artistic one. Bobby wrote me all about him. He was so proud of Jake. Maybe Jake will grow up to be as talented as Bobby was.

Elizabeth: You were just about to tell us what you’ve done.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Elizabeth: Excuse me. Oh, hi. Perfect timing. Come in. Um, you guys remember Betsy.

Dante: Yeah.

Elizabeth: She was just about to tell us what she did and why she did it.

Dante: I think we know why.

Austin: No, I-I’m not having second thoughts, Maxie. I’m having a thought and then, like, another thought and then another thought. And another thought. I’m thinking that to respect someone’s boundaries is a really nice thing to do.

Maxie: Boundaries.

Austin: Yeah. I figure you might want a little space and time after a solid year of fear and doubt.

Maxie: Yeah, you’re right. Space and time and boundaries — those are all usually really good things.

Austin: Okay. But not this time?

Maxie: Peter kept me in a cage for a year, confined by his obsession. At long last, he’s finally gone, and I can do things that make me happy without worrying that they’re gonna jeopardize my children. So, no, I don’t think I need boundaries. I’m ready to make up for lost time. Are you?

Portia: If you two need to talk, I can step out. I can check my email.

Jordan: Why would you need to step out?

Curtis: No, Portia, you should stay. Um, Jordan, I didn’t want you to hear this from someone else.

Jordan: You’ve been house hunting together. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but I overheard something about a double-sided fireplace and a nice big room for Trina.

Portia: [ Chuckles ]

Jordan: Sounds ideal.

Portia: It’s a little early to get our hearts set on it or anything. We haven’t even called the agent yet.

Curtis: No, we, uh — we should move fast.

Jordan: Then do that. An opportunity like this, you don’t want to wait.

Portia: You know, Jordan, once you’re all settled in and everything, let’s get together. We can grab some lunch or something like that.

Jordan: Absolutely. Maybe you can do me a favor.

Portia: Yeah, name it.

Jordan: Laura gave me a mini briefing on all the criminal activity going on during my convalescence. Maybe you two can catch me up on what the law-abiding citizens have been doing.

Nina: You’re right. I fell in love with a married man. It was a mistake, but I can’t be the only person in the whole world that that’s ever happened to, Britt. And Carly, she just insisted on this divorce. She rammed it through practically overnight.

Britt: Okay, correct me if I’m wrong, but that was after she found you and Sonny in bed together.

Nina: We thought the marriage was over.

Britt: Convenient.

Nina: Britt, I didn’t go to the haunted star intending to sleep with Sonny. It’s just all these feelings that we had been fighting for — for months we couldn’t fight anymore. I’m sorry that I hurt Carly, but I am a good grandmother, and I sure as hell don’t think it should cost me my grandson.

Britt: What does this have to do with Wiley?

Nina: Willow just informed me that there’s no clear path in me seeing Wiley. They want to shut me out of my grandson’s life.

Elizabeth: Betsy, these are our friends Sam McCall and Dante Falconeri.

Betsy: Sam McCall. You’re married to that man who hates my son. Jason. Is he here?

Sam: Jason passed away.

Betsy: Oh. I’m sorry for your loss.

Sam: Thank you.

Finn: Do you know Dante as well?

Betsy: Yes. You’re the cop.

Dante: Yeah, that’s right.

Betsy: Am I in trouble?

Dante: Uh, no. Uh, nothing like that. I-I did notice you were checking out that portrait before. Do you like it?

Betsy: Like it? I love it. Bobby painted that.

Dante: Yeah, it, um — well, it was brought here, saved, really, from a fire in his studio. A lot of weird things, strange things have been happening with — with Elizabeth and Franco’s belongings.

Betsy: What strange things? What’s going on?

Dante: We were kind of hoping maybe you could tell us.

Betsy: Well, I don’t know anything. What could I tell you?

Dante: Well, um… maybe you could tell us why you were committed to a mental health facility recently.

Betsy: How do you know that? That’s private.

Dante: It was part of a police record.

Betsy: Oh, right. I-I guess it would be.

Dante: You were temporarily hospitalized so that you wouldn’t hurt yourself or someone else.

Leisl: I haven’t heard from you since your return from Switzerland. Mein Mutterland. Trittst im Morgenrot daher Seh’ich dich im Strahlenmeer

Anna: I don’t know what’s happening.

Leisl: It’s rude to interrupt the Schweizerpsalm.

Anna: Oh, okay. W-why do you think that you should have heard from me?

Leisl: Ah. I see.

Anna: What? See what?

Leisl: That our cathartic afternoon in the rage room bonding over our destructive power meant nothing to you.

Anna: Well, I wouldn’t say nothing.

Leisl: I mistakenly thought you and I had achieved a kind of breakthrough that day, that we might begin to put the past behind us.

Anna: Okay, sure. Yeah, I thought so, too. Why am I here?

Leisl: I should think that would be obvious.

Austin: Maxie, I’m all for making up for lost time.

Maxie: That’s great.

Austin: Okay.

Maxie: But?

Austin: But you were just chased into a European forest like you’re in some kind of Grimms’ fairy tale.

Maxie: I know what I went through, Austin. I lived it. That’s even more of a reason to put it behind me.

Austin: Right, but it would be okay if you didn’t want to rush into anything, if you wanted to take your time.

Maxie: Oh. Okay. I understand now.

Austin: Okay.

Maxie: You’re scared.

Portia: I’m not surprised that Trina’s going full-steam at PCU. But that gallery exhibit sounds amazing.

Portia: Oh, it was.

Curtis: Yeah. So, Jordan, I know you asked about law-abiding citizens, but, uh —

Jordan: I knew that would only last us so long. Who did what now?

Curtis: What have you heard about Sonny?

Jordan: Laura told me that he and Carly are over. But I didn’t get many details.

Curtis: Don’t worry, you will. Everybody’s talking about it.

Jordan: I also heard that Jason Morgan never came back from Greece.

Curtis: Missing, presumed dead. But that was after he rescued Britt Westbourne and Liesl Obrecht, of all people.

Jordan: Whatever his faults, we’ll call them, Jason was a remarkable person. There’s really no hope?

Curtis: Doesn’t look like any. I’m just glad he was able to rescue Drew.

Jordan: I’m happy for you, Curtis. I know you missed your friend.

Curtis: Yeah, it’s really good having him back.

Jordan: Question — why did I have to hear from TJ that your father finally resurfaced after all these years?

Curtis: Yeah. Well, when Marshall came back, I didn’t want to talk about him. Or to him. So I’m gradually getting used to having Marshall in my life. But, you know, it’s a process. Jordan: I can’t wait to meet him. So, are there any other secrets out there? Anything else I should know? A good cop likes to be prepared.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Curtis: TJ?

Jordan: Yep. And I’m officially late. Again, good luck on the house. I know you’ll be happy there.

Curtis: Well, uh, that went well, don’t you think?

Nina: I’ve gone over and beyond trying to avoid a legal battle, but they’re leaving me no choice.

Britt: Well, are you sure about that? The more you escalate things, the more Michael and Willow are likely to come back at you twice as hard.

Nina: Oh, I get that, I get it. But it’s not just them. I-I admit my interactions with them are at an all-time low, but it’s also Carly. She doesn’t want me to have a relationship with Wiley at all. And she can dress it up as much as she wants. But it’s retaliation, plain and simple.

Britt: Okay, I’m gonna have to stop you right there, Nina. Not because what you’re saying is untrue, but because what I’m hearing you tell yourself is that you’re right and you are the victim and Carly’s wrong and she’s the bad guy. The more you lock into that kind of thinking, the less likelihood there will be of a compromise.

Nina: But I’ve tried to compromise, and I still don’t see my grandson.

Britt: And one more consideration — Sonny may be divorced, but you’re starting a war against his ex-wife and his son. That could put a real crimp in your romance.

Nina: So you think I shouldn’t go to court?

Britt: I think you need to be honest with yourself about what you can gain and what you stand to lose.

[ Cell Phone beeps ]

Britt: Excuse me. I have a patient.

Nina: Okay. Listen, thank you for talking to me. It’s not what I wanted to hear. But I needed to hear it.

Britt: Any time.

Anna: That was a very good shot.

Leisl: I know. I’ve been practicing.

Anna: Okay, so you still haven’t explained what this is about.

Leisl: I needed privacy to discuss a détente, a peace between us.

Anna: Really? Given our history? How do you think I’m gonna react?

Leisl: Yes, our overall history has been contentious and complex.

Anna: Mm-hmm. An understatement.

Leisl: But our recent history has been far more constructive and straightforward. You in the Northern Alps of mein Mutterland —

Anna: You’re not gonna sing again, are you?

Leisl: And I here in Port Charles, our mutual adopted home. Together, we were able to locate Maxie and bring her home safely to her daughter.

Anna: Well, a lot of people made that possible. But yes, you were one of them. Yes.

Leisl: I wish I could have been there when Peter met his end.

Anna: Oh. That was necessary. It’s not something I take any joy in.

Leisl: Of course you don’t. But I do.

Anna: Well, yes, I mean, you do have every right, given what he did to you.

Leisl: The person most entitled to see Peter suffer and die was Jason Morgan. Perhaps Jason can torment Peter in the afterlife, ja? [ Chuckles ]

Anna: You know, I’m forever in awe at what you consider to be “comforting thoughts.”

Leisl: But you understand it. And in your own way, you understand me. And I you.

Anna: What if we do?

Leisl: What do you say to a new beginning?

Elisabeth: Betsy, why didn’t you tell us you were admitted to a mental health clinic?

Betsy: Because it’s embarrassing.

Finn: No. You don’t have to be embarrassed.

Sam: Yeah, no one is here to judge you.

Finn: We just want to know the truth about why you came here.

Elizabeth: You were just about to tell us.

Betsy: Was I? I’m having trouble now.

Dante: Um, maybe I could ask you a few questions that will help get you back on track, yeah?

Betsy: Okay, I guess.

Dante: Okay. Do you, uh — do you want to have — have a seat?[ Clears throat ] You didn’t go to Franco’s grave today, did you?

Betsy: I wanted to, but I couldn’t. From the moment I heard Bobby was killed, I just couldn’t face up to it.

Elizabeth: It was a terrible loss for everyone who loved him.

Betsy: And you were one of those people. You loved him, stood by him, gave him hope. It was different with me.

Dante: Um, different how?

Betsy: I failed him just when he needed me most. And when I heard he was gone and I’d never get the chance to — never. [ Crying ]

Elizabeth: It’s okay. We understand.

Dante: You couldn’t bear losing Franco, so… you put it on Elizabeth?

Betsy: What? No. I didn’t. Cross my heart.

Austin: I’m not scared of you. Why would I be scared?

Maxie: Oh, come on, Austin. There’s a reason you were living in the middle of nowhere when we met.

Austin: Yeah, I was waiting for the right time to come to Port Charles.

Maxie: You could have done that at any point. You were hiding from the world. I basically dropped in out of the sky, in labor, no less. I was in a crisis. You needed to help me. We had this connection, but something was always getting in the way, namely havoc being wreaked by Peter.

Austin: Right. But not anymore.

Maxie: No. Now that Peter is dead…

Austin: yay.

Maxie: …We’re no longer in a crisis where everything we feel is being heightened. I want to know if our crisis feelings are really crisis feelings or if they’re real feelings. Don’t you?

Austin: Yeah, I do.

Curtis: Well, Jordan certainly seems to be in a good place.

Portia: She’s very supportive of us moving in together. Me and her ex-husband.

Curtis: You think she’s trying too hard?

Portia: I think she’s still in love with you. Not that I blame her. I know from experience you’re a hard man to get over.[ Chuckles ]

Curtis: Based on experience, right back at you.

Portia: The point is is that you are the type of man that comes along once in a lifetime. And for me, twice. And if I know that, Jordan knows it, too.

Cameron: Ms. Henry, it’s so good to see you.

Stella: Oh, it’s good to see you, too, Cameron.

Cameron: How are you feeling?

Stella: Fully recovered. And it’s very kind of you to ask.

Cameron: I’m very happy to hear that. Um, I don’t know if you remember, but I was at Kelly’s the day of your stroke.

Stella: You were? I-I’m sorry. My memory of that day is still a bit cloudy.

Cameron: It’s no problem. I-I’m just happy to hear that you’re — you’re feeling better.

Stella: Yes.

Cameron: Although I am very sorry about your envelope.

Stella: Envelope?

Cameron: I just hope it wasn’t too important.

Anna: If this was just about surviving Peter, then I would say yes to a new beginning, of course. But I — I can never forgive you for the hell you put Robin through.

Leisl: That was Cesar’s doing. My most heinous misdeeds were at his behest. Most of them, anyway. But that fact does not move you. Is that what you’re saying?

Anna: I don’t know. I mean, look. I understand a lot of damage can be done for loving someone that — when it’s not returned. I get that. I’ve seen it. And for you, it was Faison. For Peter, it was Maxie.

Leisl: For Cesar… it was you.

Anna: Right. I guess that’s something that we — we share, we have in common, that we’re free of that obsession now.

Leisl: Yeah. Thankfully, I shed mine and found real love with Scott.

Anna: Scott. Okay.

Leisl: Our pairing amuses you?

Anna: No, no, no, no. No, I’m very happy for you.

Leisl: For the woman who’s brought such pain and sorrow on you and those you love?

Anna: None of us are blameless, are we? It was Faison’s obsession with me that brought him to town and cost Nathan his life, right?

Leisl: Thank you for that. When it comes to my son’s death, there’s plenty of blame to go around.

Anna: Hey, look. I’m not sure that we can ever be, you know, friends. But I do think that maybe we should find a way to put our past behind us.

Finn: It’s okay, Mrs. Frank. You’ve been upset and confused.

Betsy: Have you ever gone crazy, Dr. Finn? Not upset and confused, but grief that hits you so hard, you just go all-out nuts?

Finn: Yeah, I have.

Betsy: It’s terrible, isn’t it?

Finn: Yeah.

Sam: Well, here’s a possible explanation, Betsy. Maybe you don’t remember taking Elizabeth’s wedding ring.

Betsy: What would I do with your wedding ring?

Dante: Do you have any recollection of cutting up her dress?

Betsy: Cutting up her dress?

Dante: Burning down Franco’s art studio?

Betsy: I would never.

Dante: And bringing that painting here?

Betsy: Of course not. I love my Bobby. I love his art. I would die before I let anything happen to his work.

Finn: You know Betsy, um… people handle grief differently. Some withdraw into a shell. Others act out.

Betsy: Which one did you do?

Finn: Well, I acted out. How about you?

Betsy: I’m a shell person.

Finn: Well, you know, if you ever need any help, we’re here.

Betsy: You’re being very nice and understanding, Dr. Finn. All of you are. But I couldn’t have done any of those things.

Sam: But why not?

Betsy: I’ve been under 24-hour surveillance at the clinic, and I wasn’t released until right before I came to Port Charles. I may not be in my right mind, but even I couldn’t be in two places at one time.

Austin: So don’t take this the wrong way.

Maxie: [ Chuckles ] Okay.

Austin: But there’s something very different about you since you’re back. You seem lighter, more buoyant. I like this Maxie Jones.

Maxie: You mean the Maxie Jones who likes to keep moving forward with no regrets? The one who doesn’t hide how I feel because there’s no reason to hide anymore? There’s no way you could have known this, but this is Maxie Jones, the real Maxie Jones.

Austin: Great. Why would I be scared of that?

Maxie: I heard it takes some getting used to.

Austin: What are you doing tonight?

Curtis: Jordan and I signed those divorce papers long before she got hurt and went away. I’ve moved on. And so has she.

Portia: I don’t doubt Jordan’s intentions, Curtis. I mean, if I were in her shoes, I would say all the right things just like she did. I might even believe them. But if there was a chance, even a long shot, I would never let you go.

Stella: I’m trying my best to recall.

Cameron: You had an envelope with you with papers inside it. You said that you were going to mail it. And that’s when you had your stroke.

Cameron: Thank you, Ms. Henry.

Stella: I need a mailbox.

Cameron: Yes, on the corner to the right.

Stella: I just gotta make — oh!

Cameron: A-are you okay?

Stella: Yeah, I-I’m fine. Though, for the life of me, I can’t remember what was in that envelope. Since I haven’t gotten any calls or e-mails asking for missing documents, I suppose whatever it was couldn’t be all that important.

Cameron: That’s a relief. I-I’ve just felt horrible ever since whatever was in it got soaked.

Stella: What did you say you did with the envelope?

Cameron: Well, in the midst of all the confusion, one of the waitresses threw it out. But I-I can’t help but feel that it was all my fault.

Leisl: How do we begin? It’s no small feat to outdistance one’s past.

Anna: Especially one as contentious and complex as ours.

Leisl: Ah. I’ve got it. We can join a book club. Together, we shall steamroll local armchair bibliophiles.

Anna: Those poor people.

Leisl: We can take turns choosing the books. Then we tell them what to think and devour their homemade snacks. Whoever brings crudités forfeits their life.

Anna: I like crudités.

Leisl: Why am I not surprised? I’m more of a charcuterie lass myself.

Anna: Oh, I like that, too.

Leisl: See? Just when we thought common ground would be impossible to find.

Anna: So, this axe-throwing thing — what, are we imagining our enemies or each other as the targets? Do you see what I did there? Our enemies or each other.

Leisl: They are no longer one and the same.

Dante: Okay. Uh, yeah, thank you.

Sam: Well?

Dante: Uh, the director of the clinic says that Betsy was there from, uh, thanksgiving until she came here to Port Charles.

Finn: So obviously Betsy didn’t do anything to the ring or — or do anything to that dress.

Elizabeth: I guess you couldn’t have started that fire in Franco’s studio or taken that painting. Betsy, I am so sorry for thinking you did all those things.

Betsy: I don’t blame you. In your place, I would have suspected me, too. I should have been more open about how Bobby’s death hit me. If I could have just had a chance to say how sorry — how really sorry…

Elizabeth: Franco loved you. He knew you did your best. And if he were here right now, he would tell you you have nothing to apologize for.

Betsy: You really think so?

Elizabeth: Absolutely.

Betsy: Thank you, dear. I’m glad my son had somebody like you to love him. I should go. I have a bus to catch to get home.

Dante: Uh, we could give you a lift to the bus station.

Betsy: Thank you, Detective. I’ll call a rideshare. I’m really sorry you’re going through all this. Maybe it’s just a simple explanation.

Maxie: What do you think I’m doing tonight?

Austin: Well, I think this is the part where you say, “I’m going out with you tonight, austin.” But… I’m sensing a strong vibe that maybe that’s not what this part is.

Maxie: I’m gonna spend time with my daughter.

Austin: Okay.

Maxie: And her siblings.

Austin: Awesome. I don’t want to be somebody that comes between you and your kids. Good night, Bailey Louise. And this Maxie Jones, it’s so nice to have met you. Have a good night.

Maxie: I’ll see you tomorrow.

Austin: Okay.

Leisl: I suggest we start with something simple, perhaps a drink at the savoy. I will even leave Scott at home.

Anna: Oh, that would be best, yeah.

Leisl: It would just be the two of us.

Anna: You know, let’s not push our luck. Why don’t we just start with not plotting each other’s demise and go from there?

Leisl: Agreed. Auf wiedersehen, scarecrow. [ Chuckles ]

Anna: Until we meet again.

Leisl: Yeah?

Anna: Okay. [ Sighs ] Yes. Still got it.

Curtis: Well, we don’t want to lose out. We need to set up a tour with the broker and come in with a strong bid.

Portia: Mm. I’m ready when you are.

Curtis: Well, this is it. This next chapter is just the beginning.

Stella: Don’t give it a second thought. I made the mess, and someone did her job and cleaned it up.

Cameron: Well, I hope your experience doesn’t prevent you from coming to Kelly’s again. Oh, well, as a matter of fact, I’m on my way there right now to meet TJ and his mother. Jordan’s back in Port Charles, so we’re all getting together.

Cameron: That’s wonderful. I think I’m working there later tonight. In case I don’t see you, I’m gonna call one of the waitresses and tell her that dessert is on me.

Stella: Well, thank you. But you’ll do no such thing.

Cameron: Well, I would really like to treat you guys —

Stella: It’s a lovely gesture, but my dessert is not coming out of your paycheck. You’re gonna spend that money on your education.

Cameron: But the envelope —

Stella: Is gone. And that’s the end of that. Now, I don’t want to be late. And it was wonderful to see you, Cameron.

Cameron: It’s good to see you as well, Ms. Henry.

Finn: There’s no way she could have pulled any of this off.

Sam: None. Betsy is barely holding it together.

Dante: Sure seems like she’s suffered enough.

Elizabeth: Well, thank you both for your help.

Dante: I wish we could have helped actually find the person who’s been harassing you.

Elizabeth: Yeah, well, I’m at a complete loss.

Sam: Okay, well, if it wasn’t Betsy, then who was it?

Finn: What is it? It’s a sketch of Franco. Never seen it before. Jake drew it.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Deacon: I know that you’ve always believed that ridge is your destiny. But how much longer can you chase this? You need a guy who is not going to bail on you when things get tough and is not going to run into the arms of his ex, when they do. Look, ridge needs to grow the hell up. I mean, I’m sorry, but he needs to quit pitting you against taylor. And he needs to stop putting conditions on his love. A man who truly sees you would never do that. You need a man like me. I’m who you need in your life, brooke. Because I see you.

Steffy: You can’t let brooke get to you, mom. She’s desperate. She’s going to say anything to try to undermine you and dad.

Taylor: She’s fighting for her marriage.

[ Steffy scoffs ]

Steffy: A marriage she threw away.

[ Door clicking ]

Thomas: Hey, mom, I thought you were still at the office.

Steffy: She had a visit from brooke.

Thomas: Ah.

Taylor: As you can imagine, she’s, she’s not very happy with me.

Steffy: Let me guess. She thinks that you’re trying to seduce dad away from her.

Thomas: Oh, please, that is brooke’s playbook, not mom’S. She just can’t handle the fact that dad wants to be here with mom and our family. Not her.

Taylor: Well, she actually thinks that all of this is temporary because your father still loves her.

[ Thomas sighs ]

Hope: I realize that you told my mother that you can’t do it anymore, that despite the love that you have for her, she’s made it impossible for you. And that’s because of–

[ Sighs ] Well, because of my dad. And because she keeps defending him. But ridge, please, you have to understand, that is because of me, because she knows how much I want a relationship with my dad.

Ridge: I do understand that. What makes you think I don’t? I get it. I always got it. What makes you think I don’t?

Hope: Ridge, please. Can I just finish? I get that you and I don’t always see eye to eye, but I can see that you still love my mom and she is desperately in love with you, so let that be enough. Let that be enough for the two of you to come together again and to work through whatever it is the two of you need to work through. Just tell me that you’ll try. I don’t want this to be some impulsive decision where you just throw it all away, where you don’t even work to save what the two of you had before that awful night.

Brooke: Unlike you,

I own my mistakes.

There was a part of me that lay

dormant for a very long time,

and it resurfaced somehow,

and I still don’t know how.

And I don’t know why.

[ Sighs ]

Sheila: Oh, if you only knew the truth, brooke. But you never will.

Thomas: Don’t listen to brooke.

Steffy: Yeah, she just wants you to doubt what dad’s saying.

Thomas: Yeah, it’s killing her, knowing that dad wants to come home to you and not to her. I mean, look, we– stef and I see this. We see the kind of peace you bring to dad’s life. Alright, you’re like an oasis for him. You bring him happiness and fulfillment.

Steffy: Brooke can think that dad still loves her, but thomas is right. When dad looks at you, you can see the love in his eyes, a love he’ll only have for you.

Ridge: Hope, I appreciate what you’re trying to do.

Hope: She wasn’t herself that night.

Ridge: No, she wasn’T. She was drinking. Right? That’s the thing.

Hope: Oh, come on. I mean, don’t you have questions? I mean, even mom has questions that she doesn’t have the answer to. And I am not, I’m not excusing her behavior, but she did take accountability for what happened that night, and she is getting help so something like that will hopefully never happen again.

Ridge: And we are all very proud of her for that. Excuse me.

Hope: Ridge, you were so supportive of her then. You were going to meetings with her. You stood by her. Why can’t you stand by her now?

Ridge: Because this is not the same thing. How is it the same thing?

Hope: Okay, okay, fine. But there is one thing I know, and that is that there is no other man for my mother but you, ridge. And there will never be another man.

Deacon: Will you indulge me for a second and just think back, all those years ago, how amazing we were? We could have that again. I’m offering you a real partnership, brooke. I’m talking about giving you my total devotion, my undying loyalty. Two things you will never have to question or doubt. I’ll be the man you deserve, and I will be the man you, you can count on no matter what comes our way. Everyone remembers the moment they heard…

Thomas: So, mom, did you ever imagine this when you came back to L.A.? Having a fresh start with dad?

Steffy: Dad was in trouble, and it was because of brooke and the train wreck that she is.

Thomas: Yeah.

Steffy: He needed a way out.

Thomas: And that’s what you give him.

Steffy: Mm-hm.

Thomas: You give him a way out.

Taylor: You know, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen myself as a way out. I–

Steffy: You know what we mean.

Thomas: Yeah.

Taylor: Yes, I– I’m glad that your father feels comfortable turning to me. But right now, we’re just taking it moment to moment. The rest we’ll see.

Thomas: Well, you’re like a safe harbor for him, mom.

[ Sighs ]

Steffy: And now, it seems like he’s ready to chart his own course. I know that’s what you’ve been hoping for. Not that you need a man to have like a happy, fulfilling life, but–

Thomas: Right, but when dad is that man… you have this whole history together. You have children and grandchildren. That’s got to feel pretty perfect.

Taylor: You know what else feels perfect? Family. Family means everything to ridge and me. Our family means everything.

Steffy: We feel the same way.

Thomas: Yeah, I just hope that now things can finally settle down. You know, dad finally knows what he wants, and it’s you, and– and no one’s going to come along and get in the way of that, no matter how hard they try.

Ridge: Listen, I– I respect you for coming here and taking responsibility for your part in this nightmare.

Hope: Well, I mean it. At the end of the day, my mother loves you, ridge, and she wants to fight for your marriage, so I hope that you will give her a chance too. And sure, you, uh, may not be wearing your wedding ring right now, but I don’t believe that you could give up on brooke logan so easily. Not after all these years. And I am certain that there is a part of you deep down that knows there is a way back for the two of you. I mean, hell, if getting pushed out of a helicopter, a vegas wedding and your meddling kids hasn’t stopped you yet, then why should this? For better or for worse. You two made vows to each other, you made a commitment, and your love has overcome a lot and sure, it is being tested right now. But let it overcome this too.

Keith: Well, well, the hotel’s favorite guest.

Sheila: Hey, keith.

Keith: Your accommodation still satisfactory?

Sheila: Yeah.

Keith: Good.

Sheila: Very, very much so good.

Keith: Good. Well, I figured as much since you seem to have taken up residency here. So, where you off to?

Deacon: I’m not trying to pressure you, I know how much you’re dealing with, and I don’t want to add to that.

[ Sighs ]

Deacon: I just think that you need to take a realistic look at where you stand. Ridge has all but abandoned you for taylor.

Brooke: Deacon, please.

Deacon: I know you don’t want to believe it, but if you’re not going to be honest with yourself, brooke… come on.

Brooke: I am. I am. I am being honest with myself. Really. I understand the odds are against me. Ridge is finding comfort with taylor and his other family right now. But in time…

[ Sighs ] Look, I can understand why you’re skeptical. I get it. I know you want me to move on. But the thing is, even if I were able to do that, ridge would always have my heart. I’m sorry. I mean, we have an incredible, wonderful daughter.

Deacon: Yeah.

Brooke: And we’ll always stay connected because of her. It’s just that ridge will always be my soulmate, my destiny. I brought in ensure max protein,

Brooke: I don’t know why ridge and I are being tested again. But I know it all started that fateful night…

Deacon: That we kissed.

Brooke: The night that I drank. Lost controL. And did things I wouldn’t have done otherwise. I don’t know why I started drinking in the first place.

Deacon: I don’t know. I don’t have an answer for you. But even if I did, I would still be concerned for your commitment to ridge. That it would just lead to more heartache, especially now, because he’s moving back towards taylor. Okay, so I’ve pretty much spilled my guts here.

[ Both chuckle ] So, I think I’m gonna go, but, uh… before I do, I just, I just want to say one last thing. I just want you to know that I would do anything for you. Anything. And I will always be here for you. I’m not going anywhere.

Brooke: Thank you.

[ Sighs ] What have I done?

Ridge: How about now, is that better?

Petra: Much. Amazing how one little adjustment can make all the difference. You’re a genius.

Ridge: Oh, stop.

Steffy: And a handsome one too. Right, mom?

Taylor: That’s right.

Ridge: That’s all for now. Thank you, petra.

Petra: Thanks. Oh, by the way. Congrats to the both of you.

Ridge: Congrats?

Petra: Yeah, you and taylor. Thomas mentioned something about his parents reconnecting.

Steffy: Well, we’re hopeful.

Taylor: I will have a talk with thomas.

Ridge: Where is that kid anyway?

Taylor: He is at steffy’S. He said he had to wrap up some phone calls.

Thomas: Yeah. Three bedrooms and an infinity pool? Absolutely. I’d love to see it, uh, how about today? I’m kind of sick and tired of this whole house-hunt thing. Yeah, okay, that sounds good.

[ Door knocking ] Alright, bye. Did you forget your keys?

Sheila: Ah, I’m sure you were expecting someone else.

Thomas: Yeah. Amelia, with the kids.

Sheila: Well, I’m sorry to disappoint. Your mom’s secretary, I called and they said that she was at home, I came by to see taylor.

Thomas: No, I don’t know exactly why you want to talk to my mom, but you’re not welcome here, sheila. You should go. Now.

Nexgard is the

#1 vet-recommended

[ Sighs ]

Taylor: You okay?

Ridge: Yeah, it’s been one of those days.

Steffy: Brooke, again? Is she still pressuring you, trying to get you to come home?

Ridge: No, it’s not, brooke. Thank you, though.

Steffy: This time. But remember, she betrayed you. You didn’T. So, you shouldn’t feel guilty for saying enough is enough.

Brooke: So, you went to ridge on my behalf too?

Hope: Yes, I– I’m not sure how it went with dad. I’m sure he tried his best and I thought that I should give it a try as well.

Brooke: Well, please tell me you had better luck than deacon did.

Hope: Well, I said what I thought would get through to ridge, and I pleaded with him to find forgiveness. He still loves you, mom.

Brooke: As much as I will always love him. But…

Hope: But what?

Brooke: I don’t know. I– I, I really don’t know. I mean, yes, of course, I’m going to always fight for our marriage. But it hit me, you know? I’ve caused him all this pain and all this disappointment, and… how could I do that? How could I do that to the man that I love? How could I do that to ridge?

Hope: Mom, it was not intentional.

Brooke: I know. I know it wasn’T. But maybe I need to be brutally honest with myself. Maybe I’m not the right woman for ridge. Maybe he’d be better off with taylor.

Hope: Mom. Stop. Please, I hate seeing you talking like this.

Brooke: Honey, I– I did this. I mean, if ridge and taylor end up together, it’s because of what I did. The choices I made. I am responsible. Nobody but me.

Sheila: I’m not welcome here?

Thomas: Absolutely not. My family’s been separated for years, in large part because of what you did. You shot our mother, sheila. Which pushed her away and, and made my dad lean on brooke. So actually, none of this would have happened if it weren’t for you.

Sheila: I did a terrible thing. I’ve done a lot of terrible things. But I’m changing, thomas, I swear I am not that person any longer.

Thomas: According to you.

Sheila: According to your mother as well. Okay, all right. That– that might be pushing it a bit, but she, she really is trying to give me a cha– a chance. Can’t you please do the same?

Thomas: No. No, steffy and I are finally getting our family back together. My mother and my father suffered for long enough because of what you did. And they are finally, finally, having a chance at happiness. So, no, I don’t think I’m going to let you come back into our lives and mess with anything. In fact, you should get out of our lives forever.

Sheila: Get out of your lives? This is because of me. The demise of– of ridge and brooke and your mom and dad’s reunion. I am the one responsible for that. You should be welcoming me here with open arms right now, not banning me from the family. You should be thanking me profusely for what I’ve done. After all these years, your mother finally has a chance with ridge because of me, thomas. Me.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nick: I don’t want victoria to get hurt anymore than you do, but what ashland has done is unforgivable and he must be dealt with now.

Adam: I agree with you. But I also agree with dad that we cannot afford to make any wrong moves or do anything reckless. We have to handle this smart.

Victor: Boys…I’ve got this. Leave it to me.

Nick: If you think you can take care of ashland discreetly, you are kidding yourself. There is no way to handle it without it blowing up in victoria’s face.

Victor: I will minimize damage to her as much as possible.

Nick: How are you gonna do that?

Victor: By dealing with that bastard one-on-one.

Nick: If you’re not gonna tell us what’s going on, why are we here?

Victor: You know exactly what that man has done to victoria, your sister. Who knows what else he has up his sleeve?

Nikki: I thought you were going to go meet with your father.

Victoria: Well, I don’t have to go right this instant, do I?

Nikki: Installing ashland as your co-ceo is a big deal. Even if you think it’s the right thing to do, victor needs to know about it as soon as possible.

[ Knock on door ]

Ashland: Hey, darling, I was wondering if I could get your opinion — oh.

Nikki: Hello, ashland.

Ashland: Hello, nikki. Everything okay?

Nikki: Yeah, yeah, I’m just having a conversation with my daughter.

Ashland: Oh, I’m interrupting. I’m sorry.

Victoria: No, you’re not interrupting at all. No. I don’t keep things from my husband, mother. We’re partners in every way. Apparently, my mom’s concerned about how my dad is gonna take the news of your new title.

Ashland: Ah. I’m hoping he will be supportive.

Nikki: I’m sure that you are.

Ashland: But you have your doubts.

Nikki: It’s a big change. This company will always be victor’s legacy, and it means a great deal to him that it’s being run by his eldest child.

Ashland: And it still will be. Changing my title will in no way diminish victoria’s position.

Victoria: I don’t need his permission. Telling him is just — it’s a courtesy, it’s a formality. But mom’s right, we should probably just get it over with.

Ashland: I agree. We should tell victor as soon as possible, but — but unfortunately, we have a meeting in just a few minutes with the marketing staff, so…

Victoria: Oh, that’s right. I forgot.

Nikki: I can cover the marketing meeting.

Victoria: Oh, thank you, mom. You know what? I would feel better once we deliver the news.

Ashland: Fantastic. Oh, and since nikki is taking over the meeting, that frees up my time so we can go meet with victor together. And together, we can present a truly united front.

Sharon: Would you like another croissant?

Rey: No, thank you. I have to stay in decent shape if I plan to hold on to my gorgeous wife.

Sharon: Well, you look damn good from here.

Rey: [ Laughs ]

Sharon: Well, let me know if you want anything else, ’cause i want to take care of my handsome husband.

Rey: Mm. You looking for someone?

Sharon: What? No. Who would I be looking for?

Rey: Mariah and tessa. You’re just dying for them to come downstairs so you can pounce them with those bridal magazines.

Sharon: What, these?

Rey: Uh-huh.

Sharon: Who put them there?

Rey: Yeah.

Sharon: I think “pounce” is a strong word.

Rey: Mm. Accost? Barrage?

Sharon: Look, it’s getting closer and closer to their wedding date, and a lot of big decisions still need to be made. If they don’t make up their minds soon about the ceremony and the reception and all the little details that go into it, I’m worried this wedding might not happen.

Mariah: What? How did you figure out what was wrong? It already happened? Uh…okay, is there anything I can do? Should I — should I come over? Yeah. No, no, I understand. It’s okay. Um… I’ll talk to you later. Yeah, alright, bye.

Tessa: What’s wrong?

Mariah: Apparently nothing, not now. But dominic had to get a bone marrow transfusion.

Tessa: Oh, my god. Do you know — do you know what’s wrong with him?

Mariah: He had some sort of blood disease.

Tessa: Is he gonna be okay?

Mariah: Yeah, he’s doing great, and they think he’s gonna make a full recovery.

Tessa: Oh, well, that’s a relief.

Mariah: Yeah, the doctors tested abby and devon, and devon was a perfect match.

Tessa: Wow. So first he takes on an expanded role in the little boy’s life, and now he’s helping him heal. I mean, I know it’s just a matter of biology, but seems like a sign to me.

Mariah: I am really happy that he could be there for him.

Tessa: Um, you don’t sound too happy about that.

Mariah: No, I — of course I’m — I’m thrilled that dominic is gonna be okay. But I just can’t understand why they wouldn’t tell me what was going on. I know that I’ve taken a step back, but I’m still his godmother. Why wouldn’t they tell me about something so important?

Nick: Alright, as much as i want to hurt this guy, I agree with you. We got to be smart about how we retaliate. So what’s the plan, dad? I want to know what it is and what’s involved.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Victor: It’s victoria.

Nick: What are you gonna say to her?

Victor: Hi, sweetheart, I’m so glad you called. (Jackie) I’ve made progress with my mental health.

Additional sponsorship provided by…

Rey: Don’t you worry, mariah and tessa’s wedding’s gonna come together because it’s meant to be. Everything’s gonna come together — all the little details. And don’t forget, there’s always a little magic involved with these things, huh?

Sharon: You know, you’re right. I’m trying not to be that person who checks in every second, but I just — I want to help them if I can.

Rey: I know, I know, and I’m sure mariah knows, too.

Sharon: Yeah, she does, and i know that she will come to me and ask for help if she wants it, and I’m definitely respecting that.

Rey: Oh. You know, I love that you’re so psyched about planning your daughter’s wedding. But I also love that you understand that mariah and tessa need to choose whatever kind of wedding feels right to them, not the rest of the world, no matter how quirky or off-beat or deep underwater it may seem.

Mariah: I just can’t help but being bothered by abby and devon choosing not to tell me about dominic’s illness until after the fact.

Tessa: I assume that they have an explanation for that.

Mariah: Yeah, I mean, abby said that she didn’t even tell the family, ’cause she didn’t want to worry people unnecessarily.

Tessa: I can understand that. And everything turned out okay. That’s the most important part, right?

Mariah: Of course. I’m ecstatic that dominic is alright. And it’s true, I mean, i would’ve freaked out and been worried senseless, so I guess they spared me that.

Tessa: Hey, of course. But we’re gonna go visit him the second that we can. And I’m sure one big healthy, happy smile from him will cheer us both up.

Mariah: You’re right. I can’t wait to see that grin.

[ Chuckles ]

Tessa: Oh, me too. I do have something that might take your mind off the little guy. I really took noah’s suggestion to heart during our last brain-storming session about the wedding, and I think that we should try and combine our top three ideas and make our own hybrid version of our perfect wedding day.

Victoria: Hi, dad. I’m calling because there’s something that ashland and i need to speak with you about as soon as possible.

Victor: Well, now, as luck would have it, my darling, I’m at newman media in adam’s office. Why don’t you come over?

Victoria: I’ll see you in a few minutes.

Victor: Okay.

Adam: What’s your next move? Since apparently this is happening right here and now.

Nick: You know what, dad? Just call me when you need me.

Victoria: Dad’s in adam’s office, and he can see us now.

Ashland: Fantastic. Let’s go meet with victor.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh. Hang on. Uh…

Nikki: Something wrong?

Victor: So there isn’t much time left, son. Nicholas is gone. Would you support me?

I may have moderate to

severe rheumatoid arthritis.

Ashland: No, no, nothing’s wrong at all, nikki. It was — it’s a small personnel issue. It doesn’t at all rise to the level of — of what we’re about to do, so…

Nikki: Ah. I must have misread the expression on your face when you read that text.

Ashland: Really? Oh, it was just a — it was a former locke communications group executive that we had to let go because of the merger. He wants to have, you know, “a call,” and, uh… well, you know, now that I think about it, he probably deserves one. Why don’t you go on ahead, and I’ll catch up with you?

Victoria: Sure, I’ll see you soon.

Ashland: Okay.

Rey: You know, as much as I’m looking forward to mariah and tessa’s big day, however crazy it may be, nothing will surpass the day we got married.

Sharon: Aww, our wedding was amazing.

Rey: Mm-hmm.

Sharon: And you’re right, it came together with a little bit of magic.

Rey: Yeah. You know what I remember most? Staring into those big, beautiful blue eyes.

Sharon: You know, everything kind of faded away during the ceremony, but the reception was fun.

Rey: It’s true. There were some great toasts. We’re gonna have to reciprocate for mariah’S.

Sharon: Yes.

Rey: And we cannot forget the best man.

Nick: What?

Rey: Well, we were talking about wedding toasts with mariah and tessa’s wedding coming up.

Nick: Oh, yeah, right.

Sharon: Is something wrong? What happened?

Nick: [ Sighs ] I don’t want to talk about it.

Rey: You know, I — yeah, i got to check in with the station.

Sharon: You seem angry. What’s going on?

Nick: I don’t know what’s best, you know, talking about it or just bottling it up inside.

Sharon: Nick, you can talk to me. You know you can trust me with anything.

Nick: Alright, it’s ashland. He has done something so despicable this time — I mean, the worst thing of his life, and considering who he is and what he’s done, that’s saying a lot. But this time, it could destroy victoria, and I don’t know how to help her.

Victoria: I have some news, dad. Adam.

Victor: Ashland. I’m done playing games with you. Okay? It ends now.

Ashland: Uh…what ends now?

Victor: The charade is over.

Nick: So dad had michael go down to peru and check out that clinic where ashland received his miracle cure.

Sharon: Look, I know you’ve never been a fan of locke, but what was so suspicious about him previously making those donations to that facility?

Nick: You always want to believe the best in everyone, but this time dad’s instincts were right. Michael went down there and got a couple of the doctors who worked there at the clinic to go on record saying that ashland bribed them to make it seem like he was really suffering from his cancer and that the treatment they gave him sent him into remission. But in reality, he was never sick at all.

Sharon: Ashland faked his cancer? I can’t even wrap my head around that.

Nick: And vick has no idea that she’s being lied to about this seriously huge thing. And, I mean, ashland just used her to get his hands on the company.

Sharon: Wow, I don’t know what to say.

Nick: Don’t say anything, sharon, alright? This has to stay between us. I came to you because I needed somebody to talk to about it.

Sharon: Of course, I’m not gonna tell anyone about this. Why haven’t you told victoria? Don’t you think this is something she should know, like, right now?

Nick: Because dad said he’s got some plan, some way to deal with this where victoria suffers the least amount possible.

Sharon: Well, I’m sure he has her best interests at heart, but to keep something like this from her, something this big? That’s risky.

Nick: The last time I went to her and told her about all the horrible things that ashland has done, she was okay with it. Why would this time be any different?

Sharon: I don’t think you’re giving your sister enough credit. If what you’re saying is true, what ashland did is disgusting. It’s unforgivable. He has destroyed every ounce of trust that victoria had in him, and as a cancer survivor, I am appalled that he would use that as a selfish ploy. There’s no way in hell that victoria will be alright with that.

Adam: Really great to see you, sis. You seem like you’re in a good mood today. So to what do I owe this pleasure?

Victoria: Where did dad go? What is he doing?

Adam: I don’t know. Could be any number of things. But he said he’d be right back.

Victoria: I don’t understand why he would just leave when i said I had something important to discuss with him.

Adam: Well, hey, maybe you could bounce your ideas off of me first.

Victoria: No, thank you.

Adam: Why not? Now that I’m working with you —

Victoria: You work for me.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Yes. You are my boss, and that’s the point. We are on the same team, and i want the company — our company — to succeed, and i would be happy to give you my insights.

Victoria: This is too high level for you to weigh in on, so just have dad call me when he gets back.

Adam: Hey, hey, as long as you’re here, I’d love to get some thoughts on some potential areas of expansion for newman media.

Ashland: Locking the door is a little dramatic, don’t you think, victor? I mean, I’m not exactly sure what’s happening right now. What exactly is the charade you’re accusing me of perpetrating?

Victor: Ashland. You don’t have cancer. You never did.

Ashland: I’m sorry, is this some kind of a joke? No? Okay, uh, well, talk to my doctors, and they will tell you my cancer is real.

Victor: The doctors you paid off? Or the ones that you supplied with falsified medical records?

Ashland: That’s a hell of an accusation. Why would I even attempt such a thing? I mean, what would be the goal?

Victor: Power. Control. You have dreamt of combining or merging newman enterprises with locke communications to create a behemoth of a company that you would preside over, rule.

Ashland: Okay, that’s crazy.

Victor: Uh-huh.

Ashland: Uh…besides, victoria is the one who’s been driving the merger.

Victor: You put the idea of the merger in her head. It worked. Because she thought you only had a few months left to live. You managed to make her feel sorry for you. A man just about to die of cancer, my goodness. Who wouldn’t be moved by that? You played that game masterfully. But now it’s over. I just heard something amazing!

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Mariah: I’m not sure what combining our top three ideas would even look like.

Tessa: Okay, well, I’m thinking that it would involve art, music, and perhaps costumes.

Mariah: Alright, where are we gonna do it?

Tessa: Okay, well, a destination wedding is seeming too complicated, so let’s keep it local, and we’ll surround ourselves with art that we love from chicago museums and then we’ll get one of our favorite bands to play.

Mariah: Okay, what about the murder mystery them? ‘Cause we talked about that before.

Tessa: It seems a little dark for a celebration.

Mariah: Okay. But, you know, we got to have something that sets this apart from a typical ceremony. I mean, everybody has music and decorations.

Tessa: Maybe we pick a time period from our favorite mystery and dress in that style. Like — ooh, ooh, like london in the ’60s. It’ll be mod influenced. Oh, you hate it.

Mariah: No, no.

Tessa: Mm, you think it’s too complicated.

Mariah: [ Stammers ] That’s not exactly what I think.

Tessa: Okay, so — so what are you thinking?

Mariah: I’m thinking that we don’t quite have it yet. But I know that eventually it’s just gonna come to us, and then we are going to have the best wedding ever.

Tessa: [ Sighs ]

Nick: Believe me, I’m as bothered by this as you are.

Sharon: Noah. You look like you just rolled out of bed and in the coffee house.

Noah: Do I?

Nick: Late night?

Sharon: Oh, I can answer that because I heard him roll in just after dawn. I mean, I’m really glad that i realized you had started staying at our house again after that stint at your dad’s or I might have thought we had a prowler.

Noah: That would have been bad. Yeah. Sorry, I promise I was trying my best to be quiet.

Sharon: No, you were! Until you knocked over that lamp.

Noah: Okay, I see where this is going, and to answer your question, no, I was not drinking. I’m just clumsy. I was catching up with some girl I met back in high school, and i lost track of time.

Sharon: Oh, was this a romantic kind of evening?

Nick: Whoa, whoa. You don’t have to talk about that. That is none of our business.

Noah: She’s just a friend, but I got to admit, it was nice staying up all night talking, blowing off some steam.

Nick: And you are a grown man. You can stay out as late as you want.

Sharon: Indeed.

Noah: Okay, good to know. Thank you.

Nick: I do, however, prefer a well-rested employee.

Noah: [ Sighs ] You see, this is the problem with working for your dad and living with your mom.

Nick: I didn’t say it was an issue.

Sharon: And we love having you stay at the house.

Noah: Alright, guys, i promise I’m on top of everything over at new hope, and I will get a good night’s sleep tonight. Okay? Now, please, stop worrying about me so much, really. Come on.

Ashland: Victor, think about what you’re saying. It doesn’t — it’s not rational. It’s nothing more than an outrageous conjecture. Now, first of all, you know how publicly humiliated I was when my illness was splattered all over the press.

Victor: Hmm. You probably leaked that story yourself, didn’t you?

Ashland: And what about harrison? Are you suggesting I purposely walked away from him, that I — that I told him I was dying when I wasn’t? Why would I do that to my own son?

Victor: Turns out he isn’t even your son.

Ashland: You have crossed over a line right there.

[ Chuckles ] I mean, your daughter told me you could be cold and cruel.

Victor: I can be very cold and very cruel. Stop the bull. I know what you’ve done.

Ashland: Okay. What have I done?

Victor: I have evidence that you paid off the doctors at that clinic in peru, where they have this miraculous cure for cancer. You paid them off to falsify your records. Now, I have people in peru right now gathering more information about your shenanigans down there. You’re done.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] Victor, I have enemies all over the world, and you know something? So do you. Now, whoever’s feeding you these lies clearly has a score to settle with me. Doesn’t this feel like a set-up? Hmm?

Victor: You stop your nonsense. What you’ve done to my company, what you’ve done to my family, what you have done to my daughter, my wife, and my grandchildren. No one uses my family as a pawn in their dreadful game. You got that? Now, you listen to me carefully. Under no circumstances will you let my daughter victoria feel that she was subject and victim of a hoax, a cruel hoax. I’d rather have her heart broken than her spirit broken by the likes of you. And I will tell you what you’re gonna do.

Adam: Well, after we get through the initial necessary streamlining due to the merger, we’re gonna obviously focus on growth and ways to expand the content and…monetize it.

Victoria: That’s called business, adam, and I really don’t have time to sit here and listen to the specifics.

Adam: Okay. Well, let me run another idea by you about the news division. You know, if we were to incorporate all those brands under our roof, we’d have something for every demographic, and I think that —

Victoria: You know, that’s over-ambitious and unfocused. Why don’t you run your ideas by your brilliant new coo, or is sally too busy designing a business suit so that she can look the part?

Adam: Sally is more than capable of designing her own wardrobe. She is busy working on the budget at the moment.

Victoria: Can’t wait to crunch those numbers.

Adam: Victoria, why don’t you just calm down the condescension for a bit, okay? I know that you met with sally and she had some pretty impressive ideas that not even you could shoot down.

Victoria: Oh, really? Is that how she characterized our run-in? I mean, I did point out to her that she is very, very confident in herself. But maybe that’s because apparently she’s sleeping with the boss.

Adam: That’s a low blow, even for you.

Victoria: Oh, but it’s true, right?

Adam: I’m not gonna dignify that with a response. But need I remind you that you share your sheets with your chief advisor.

Victoria: Ashland and I are married. And ashland is much more than an advisor, as you will soon find out.

Adam: What does that mean?

Victoria: Let’s get a few things straight, shall we? You need to give ashland the respect that he has earned.

Adam: Is that so?

Victoria: And I’m really not gonna put up with you running off to daddy every time you get your feelings hurt. I don’t know, maybe you have delusion that you’re gonna run the entire company again, but if that’s what’s going on here, i would get rid of that pipe dream if I were you, because ashland and I, we’re running the show.

Adam: You sound awfully confident in yourself.

Victoria: That’s because i am. What ashland and I have is very special.

Adam: Ah.

Victoria: Yeah.

Adam: Yeah. That’s one word for it. Goal!

Mariah: Now, I do think i want our wedding to be interactive in some way. Like, maybe we can give people, uh…a role or, like, a job or something. Or do you think that people would not be able to relax and enjoy themselves? But, like, I don’t know, maybe it would make them appreciate the day more and… what? What is it?

Tessa: I think you should stop talking.

Mariah: You think that I’m way overthinking this.

Tessa: Only in a way that makes me love you more.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ] We just have to trust that whatever we do, it’s gonna be spectacular.

Tessa: Because it will be.

Mariah: How can you be so sure?

Tessa: I remember all of our false starts, all the times we got in our own way. I take most of the blame for that, by the way.

Mariah: No, you shouldn’T. I was responsible for some of our breakups.

[ Chuckles ]

Tessa: But we always found our way back because I believe that we’re destined to be together, but I also know how hard we fought to be with one another. So I’m just grateful that we got to this point. We are lucky. Beyond lucky. So, as much as I want our wedding day to honor our guests, I really want it to just be about how much we love each other.

Mariah: I agree with you 100%. And I feel like you accidentally just wrote a song without even realizing it. I want to remember everything that you just said forever. And I think you might’ve stumbled onto a title without knowing it. “Beyond lucky.”

Tessa: Hmm.

Sharon: We will try to stop worrying about you, but, as parents, that’s a pretty hard habit to break.

Nick: It’s nearly impossible, but we’re gonna work on it.

Noah: Alright, well, that’s all I can ask for. You know, now that I think about it, though, you two looked pretty intense when I first walked in here. Maybe I should be worried about you.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Um…no, I was just, you know, telling your mother about some of the aggravations that come with being a newman. I’m sure you can understand that.

Noah: It definitely has its pros and cons. Is there I should know about or —

Nick: No, it’s nothing that you need to concern yourself with.

Noah: Alright. Is it cool if I grab a cup of coffee?

Sharon: Sure, go ahead.

Noah: Oh, and don’t worry, I’ll be very, very careful not to spill on myself, so…

Nick: [ Scoffs ]

Sharon: I guess we have been a little fixated on noah’s state of mind lately.

Nick: Yeah. We don’t need to be. He’s in a good place.

Sharon: I’m actually more worried about you right now. I know that you won’t sit back and do nothing if victoria needs your help.

Nick: Am I that predictable?

Sharon: In a good way. I can tell you’re itching to do something.

Nick: Yeah, I got to do something. And I’m gonna do it right now.

Victor: Your cancer will suddenly reappear. You’ll have a relapse, necessitating you to go down to south america, to peru. And you go alone, without victoria. And when I deem the time is right, you will call my daughter and you will tell her that you want a divorce. No long legal wrangling, no court scenes. Nothing. Clean divorce. No explanation, no argument. That’s what you will do. And then you will revert control of newman/locke back to my daughter as part of the settlement. And then, my friend, you will disappear from my daughter’s life forever.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] Why…would I ever…walk away from the woman I love?

Victoria: Why are you looking at me like a smug jerk?

Adam: It’s my resting face. But I am sincerely curious — what is it about your relationship with ashland that works so well? You know, what’s the secret? Please share your wisdom.

Victoria: I would love to. But I have much better things to do with my time, and since it doesn’t seem dad is coming back here any time soon, I have work to do.

Adam: Actually, there was one more thing that I wanted to talk with you about.

Victoria: Adam, I’ve given you enough of my time for the day.

Adam: You do realize that we’re gonna have to communicate on a regular basis in our current positions, right?

Victoria: Well, we’ll see about that. I have given you a fair amount of autonomy at newman media, at least for now. So let’s see what you can do, you know? Show me what you got, run with it. Put those nay-sayers to rest. And let’s see if, left to your own devices, you’ll succeed, or maybe you’re gonna fail.

Adam: Well, it’s the former, and I am more than happy to prove it to you.

[ Cellphone rings ] Hold on. It’s sally. She can wait.

Victoria: No, please, don’t blow off your invaluable second-in-command on my behalf. Maybe you can share the rest of your brilliant ideas with her.

Adam: But we’re not done here, victoria.

Victoria: Yes, we are. Your dry skin story changes

Rey: Hey. Sorry, I had to run to the station. What’d I miss?

Nick: Oh, just my parents freaking out ’cause I got home late last night. Apparently, they are not used to me having a social life anymore.

Mariah: Alright, everyone, gather around, because we have an announcement.

Sharon: They have an

announcement we’re all here.

Rey: Especially your mom.

Sharon: Oh.

Mariah: Okay, so we have thought about this long and hard. We’ve come at it from every angle.

Tessa: Explored every option and then some.

Mariah: And we really appreciate your guys’ suggestions because they helped a lot, and we realized the specific ways that we love each other and how we want to express that.

Tessa: So this is an announcement that an announcement about our wedding is impending.

Rey: Oh, so this is like the save-the-date thing that comes before the actual invitation, expect it’s about your wedding theme, right?

Mariah: Well, sounds less impressive when you put it like that, but sure.

Sharon: Can I start acting like I’m the mother of the bride now?

Mariah: Yes, yes, you can. And we need your input and expertise.

Rey: Well, I pitch in in whatever way I can. You know, maybe you need some security in case one of tessa’s fans decides to crash the wedding.

[ Laughter ]

Noah: And if you need any artwork or design, I got it covered.

Mariah: Thank you guys so much for your love and for your support.

Tessa: It means the world to us.

Sharon: We’re just so happy for you.

Noah: We all want this to be perfect. A day you’ll never forget.

Tessa: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: I wasn’t expecting to see you back here today.

Nick: I changed my mind about wanting to be involved. What’s going down with ashland and victoria?

Adam: Honestly, I don’t have much to share. Dad had me keep victoria busy while he confronted locke. So I did my best, but she got fed up with me pretty quick, threw a bunch of insults my way. It was pretty hard to bite my tongue when it would’ve been easy to throw her husband’s lies in her face.

Nick: But you didn’t do that. You respected dad’s wishes.

Adam: I restrained myself.

Nick: Where are dad and victoria now?

Adam: I’m not sure. But I think a collision course is inevitable. In fact, the fireworks you mentioned might be detonating right now.

Victor: Don’t insult my intelligence, okay? There’s no genuine love in this relationship. Certainly not on your part. You’ve used my daughter as a pawn, as a means to an end.

Ashland: You’re wrong.

Victor: Really?

Ashland: I love victoria more than I have ever loved anyone in my entire life. And she loves me. Now, if I were to fly to peru, if I were to file for divorce out of nowhere, what do you think she would do? Victor, what do you think the powerful, strong-willed daughter you raised would do? You think she would just sit back and accept it? That’s not going to happen.

Victoria: Ashland?

[ Knock on door ] Are you in there?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

wow. That was, uh, special. Hey. Sorry, that was the nicest word I could think of. Really? [ Laughs ] Well, um, this isn’t easy, you know? Yeah. Here, why don’t you give it a try? I don’t know. I don’t want to show you up or anything. Oh, now you’re sounding like an egomaniac. No, come on. Here you go. Keep it down. Okay. Go on and give it a whirl. What do I do? Just throw it at this here target right here? Yeah. But hold on a minute. What? Come back. What? Where? You’re up too far. Well, tell me where to stand. Okay, now we’re on equal playing ground. And put your left foot out. Left foot. Okay. Yeah. Will you stand back, yeah? Oh, of course. I-I don’t trust myself with this thing. All right, here goes nothing.

[ Laughs ] Boom! Of course. Hey, I don’t want you to worry about this, all right? Dante’s gonna figure out how that got here, and I’ll be here in case anything else weird happens. I just don’t understand why. Am I in danger? Are my kids not safe? Like, what’s the end game here? Holden from next door said the police were here earlier. What’s going on? Drew! Hi! Drew: Hi! Do you mind if I join you? Mind? I should be so lucky. Please. Thank you. Have a seat. I’m grabbing some dinner for curtis, and they said it’s gonna be a minute. Ah. You’re not expecting anyone, are you? No. No, no, no. I just, uh — I just finished a meeting. Oh, yeah? Was it business or personal? It was a little bit of both, actually. Business on behalf of a friend. Excellent. I’ll send that paperwork over today. Oh, one more thing. Tell the band that I’m excited to have them perform. Marshall? I’m just doing a little business while I waited. So, why’d you want to meet? Because I know what you did. You are just the cutest baby that ever lived. You know that? Do you know that?

[ Buzzes lips ] Who is that? Baby louise? Enough with the softball questions, felicia. You got to hit her with some hard ones. Like what? Like fdpc or pcpd? Oh, boy. Duh. Pcpd all the way. That’s right. Aww. Have you ever seen a more perfect picture than this? Aww, it’s beautiful. Maxie: Bailey definitely. But I barely had time to brush my hair this morning. You are absolutely glowing, and it’s all because of you. Well, that’s because you get to go home today. I’m gonna let you, uh, visit with anna. Okay. Okay. Oh, I need to go pick up your prescription at the pharmacy. I’ll be right back. Okay. Okay. Thank you. See you in a bit. Okay. So talk to me. Will the wsb be able to get any information out of our compromised agent krieger? It’s doubtful. He’s dead. Laura: Oh, maxie. Oh, there’s the precious baby girl that so many people worked so hard to protect. Hi. Yeah, talk about guardian angels. My heart is so full of gratitude it could burst. How about forgiveness? Is there room in your heart for that?

guess we just chalk that up to, uh, beginner’s luck.

[ Laughs ] Beginner’s luck? My you know what. I love your you know what. I think you’ve done this before. What? I’ve never thrown an axe before. Liar. I cross my heart. I’ll swear on anything you want me to swear on. I’ve never thrown a hatchet a day in my life. Liar! Why don’t we just chalk it up to, uh, beginner’s luck

and my superior hand-eye coordination? Or maybe… huh? …You know how some people think that they had a past life, and you can bring those skills to this life from your past life? What? I think maybe you were a frontier guy, a mountain man. I mean, I-I certainly wasn’t either of those. Well, that’s good ’cause I don’t want to picture you as a mountain man. How was your day? Yeah, it was good. Just work. A lot of work. Anything interesting? Uh, more like strange. I th ink elizabeth baldwinhas a stalker. Jake. Mom, why were the police here? Because when mom and i came home… we found this on the mantel. That’s franco’S. I thought you said they were all destroyed. That’s what I was told. Jake, did you see anyone around the house when you left yesterday? I don’t think so. No? How about, um, maybe something unusual, a car you didn’t recognize or… what about betsy frank? Has she been in contact with you? No, no. Why are you asking me this stuff? Because someone broke in and placed that here. Do you know anyone that would do this? I never intended for louise to be in danger. Actually, it’s bailey louise now. Is it really? Mm-hmm. Oh, I love that. That’s beautiful. Hey. Hi, bailey louise. I’m austin. We met when you first arrived. Maxie, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that victor was helping peter. You know, I, um, asked you to stay out of brook lynn’s business multiple times. Yeah, no, I didn’t know what was going on, and — and that’s [Sighs] That’s no excuse. There is no excuse. I did a dumb thing. My stupid vendetta could have cost you everything. If you can’t move past it, I get it. Laura: Well, I guess I’ll give you two a little bit of privacy. By the way, thank you for giving me the information about victor. A lot of good it did.

[ Chuckles ] Jury’s still out. See you later. What was that? What do you have on victor? So you’re telling methere’s nothing to clue us in as to who could have sent agent krieger to kill peter. I think it’s significant. Krieger’s death. You know, he was hit, yes, and it was serious, but nobody thought it was fatal. The prognosis was that he was going to recover, and then he up and dies here in the hospital? Convenient for somebody.

[ Knock on door ] Very. How’s the patient? Are you ready to get out of here? The sooner, the better. There’s a loose end from europe. Yeah, I was just explaining that a bureau agent who went after peter, he ended up being in an exchange of gunfire with my team. And he got hit, and he just died before he could be interrogated. Oh. He had a phone on him, though. Anything there? I mean, no. Most of the data was just related to navigation. There was one phone number that piqued my interest. Belonging to? It was a burner, unfortunately. But the area code was local. Local to here you mean? Yes. So whoever this agent was communicating with was likely here in port charles. Is anybody thinking who I’m thinking? Look, anna, can you hand me my clothes? I’m not waiting for the nurses anymore. I-I got to get down to the precinct. I-I don’t know that that’s — oh, no, you don’T. If you think you’re going anywhere other than home, you have to answer to me first. I just got a job offer from your boy drew. Did you? Mm-hmm. What kind of job? Oh, a jazz consultant/concierge for aurora. But you knew that already, didn’t you? Didn’t you?

[ Clears throat ]

[ Chuckles ] Despite the subterfuge, I appreciate you sending work my way. But why couldn’t you just be honest? Like you’ve been with me? Oh, oh, so wait, wait, wait. This is payback? No. This is an opportunity. One that I knew you would have turned down if you knew I had a hand in it because — because you’re stubborn and you’re prideful. Traits I passed down to my son. Fair enough. But I know that you operate on a need to know basis, so you can’t be mad when someone does the same thing. Well, yes, but it’s a moot point anyway. The job requires this extensive background check. And that’s a problem? It could be. Could be. I have this incident from back in the day that concerns me. Uh, you are not going to ask me what kind of incident? No, I’ll wait for you to tell me. Ah. Or not. That’s progress. If I accept this offer, drew might discover that I have a criminal history.

Look, I have no idea what’s going on right now. Um, mom’s a little bit weirded out with this whole portrait thing, but, um… she’s also relieved that peter august is toast. Wait, what? Mom didn’t tell you? Tell me what? I don’t want you giving jake the third degree. Third degree? I just asked if he noticed anything. Well, it kind of felt like you were insinuating that he had something to do with the portrait. No, I’m not suggesting that. Elizabeth, do you really think I’m accusing your sons? Or are you actually worried that they could be involved? It is so creepy to have a portrait in your house knowing that someone had been there and then the ring and the dress. Ugh. Yeah, elizabeth is pretty shaken up. Well, what are you thinking? Honestly, it sounds like it could be a jealous lover. Do you think franco was cheating? No. I don’t know. I mean, you can’t rule anything out, can you? Right. I mean, I-I honestly barely knew the guy. I didn’t pay him much attention at all. So w-what’s your take? Y-you think I paid attention to franco? No, I don’t know, but I mean, you were friends with elizabeth or you’ve gotten closer. So maybe you know about some trouble in paradise. I don’t know. In my opinion, the only thing I saw was franco was devoted to elizabeth, elizabeth was devoted to him. Their kids loved him. He loved the kids. They were one big, happy family. Right. So I guess I better look through franco’s cellphone records, see if there’s anyone he was in consistent communication with. Did you float this by elizabeth? Not yet. Well, does she have any idea? Ideas? She’s — she’s convinced. Okay, well, who does she think’s responsible? Betsy frank. I am really glad that you’re back. Oh. Which I know is a strange thing coming from me, considering we’re not close.

[ Chuckles ] But I can see how much you mean to curtis. And I-it’s just so sweet, the friendship that you two share. Yeah, I am… I am very thankful for it, I really am. Especially considering I’ve now lost both my brothers. I’m so sorry. Yeah, thanks. You know, when you think about it, you and curtis have gone through so much change recently. I mean, you — I could write a book about that. Yeah, please don’T. No.

[ Both laugh ] But curtis, too. Yeah. Just this past year, his — his aunt’s health issues, a divorce, a change of careers. And a father reappearing after four decades. You have a criminal history that drew may discover. My arrest record was sealed. Sealed records don’t usually show up in standard background checks. But it exists, which means they can resurface. Oh, man. 40 years ago. I got locked up briefly, nonviolent offense, but it was the inciting incident that precipitated my disappearance. The reason you went into hiding. Yeah, for lack of a better term, yes. God, curtis, I wish… I-I wish I could forget it ever happened. But it did, and it severely impacted my life. Look, I told — I told drew I-I can’t move forward with it anyway, so forget about it. Did you even want the job? Yeah, I do. I do. But I wanted you to hear about it from me, not your friend. Well, I appreciate that. I hope that means you trust me. Of course I do. Curtis, my holding back is not for a lack of trust. In fact — in fact, telling you is a relief. In that case, why hold back at all? Do you hear me, mac scorpio? I think the whole hospital heard you. Your choice is here or home. Work is not an option. There’s a situation, felicia. Well, there’s going to be a situation if you do anything other than try to get better. Do I have you two to thank for this? No. Us? Are you trying to encourage my husband to prematurely return to work? I was just briefing him. Turncoat. I came to check on him. Mac, you are indispensable. See? But I too am concerned about his health, so I’m gonna see about a temporary replacement. Jordan: No need for a temp. Mac’s done a great job as acting commissioner, but I’m back and reporting for duty. Jordan! Jordan!

thank you for coming in here to talk to me. When it comes to people like victor cassadine, the walls have ears. Okay, what was laura saying about you getting information on victor? Oh, it wasn’t enough. I mean, he destroyed the bug before we could hear anything valuable. Whoa, hold on. You planted a bug on victor cassadine? Well, technically liesl did. But, yeah, I mean, I set the stage. You look confused. Are you confused? You and my former mother-in-law concocted a plan to trap victor? So you’re not confused. How did that — I mean, what were y– why? Well, the answer to that is twofold. Um, first off, liesl didn’t really give me choice. And the second part?

[ Sighs ] I really wanted to make it up to you. It was entirely my fault that victor found out about louise. Sorry, bailey louise. And I just needed to know what his game was. But you didn’t find anything. The bug bit the dust before we heard anything. I mean, all we really heard was victor talking to drew cain about memory suppression and tarot cards. Is that important? I don’t know. The mayor seemed to think so. -How are you feeling? -How did you get here? I would have sent you a squad car. Oh, we could have done better than a squad car. I left yesterday. I took a car service, and I feel great. You look great. Being at the clinic for so long had its challenges, but I can’t argue with the level of care. So you’re back for good now? And apparently need to get caught up. Let’s step outside. It’s really good to see you’ve recovered. Now it’s your turn.

[ All chuckle ] Come on, let’s go. The discharge nurse gave me the papers. You ready to go home? Oh, I was born ready. To leave a hospital? Yeah, that really doesn’t work, does it?

[ Laughs ] No, it doesn’T.

[ Axe thuds ] So, betsy told elizabeth that she was at franco’s grave around the time the break-in happened. Did your question her? I tried. I called her hotel. But she wasn’t there. What about an apb? Betsy is technically A…person of interest. Right, the problem is elizabeth is worried that betsy is involving her kids, and she thinks a formal inquiry will kind of blow back on the family. Got it. Listen, I’m not — I’m not — hey. What? I-I’m not convinced that it’s betsy. But elizabeth is. Well, yeah, because the alternative for elizabeth is that she has to entertain the fact that there could have been another woman in the mix. Betsy’s pretty scary. Oh, yeah, she’s scary, she’s crazy, all of that. But, you know, and I will look into it, but, uh… I mean, how obsessed with your own kid do you have to be to shred a wedding dress and burn his art studio? I would have to say pretty obsessed. Right. So

I better retracebetsy’s steps to find out if she was actually at the cemetery when she said she was. What are you doing? I’ve got skills, too. Just not throwing axes. Hey. Spinelli. Yeah, I’m gonna need your help. My boys wouldn’t terrorize me this way. They adored franco. They would never use his memory to punish me. I agree. So you’re being defensive because you feel I shouldn’t be questioning them at all? Because I just want you to be safe, but if I am overstepping, you say the word and I will back off. Hey, say something. I’m glad. I mean, is that wrong, to be glad when someone dies? Not if that someone is peter august. He took franco away from us. Made everyone believe my dad killed him. Including me. Which made things pretty crappy between us. I wish peter had died sooner. Before your dad died fighting him. I wish that, too, jake. I know I’m not an ideal father, curtis. Ideal for who? Anyone. I’m talking specifically you. Marshall, I’m a grown man, okay? It’s not your job to live up to some boyhood fantasy. If you trust me and you feel a sense of relief to — to unburden yourself, then why not fill in all the pieces of the puzzle? Because it may not be safe to do that yet.

you’re under no obligation to bare your soul to me. Marshall, if you’re harboring any secrets that could put people in danger, either in my club or in my home, I need to know. I will not put portia and trina at risk. Wait. Wait. Wait a minute. Since when did portia become a fixture in your home? Since I, um… I asked her to take the next step with me. So the plan is to find a new place and make it our own. Oh, curtis, that’s — that’s — that — that’s wonderful. It fills me — fills me with joy to see you so happy. You don’t have to be afraid of anything. On everything you and I hold dear, I promise I will not allow anything to hurt any of you. Understood. And if you need to share more, I’m here for you. And I won’t pry. That sounds like a plan. But, uh…right now, I need to go see a man about a job. Having marshall drop from the sky certainly has thrown curtis for a loop. I got that impression. It does seem like they’re working towards something. I hope so. Yeah. I really do. All I want is for curtis to be happy. What do you know? You and I, we want the same thing. So are you doing what I’m doing? What’s that? Well, I’m giving him a little space so that he can make his own conclusions. But at the same time, I’m kind of keeping a cautious eye out. You must have been spying on me.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Yeah. I mean, obviously, I — I pray that marshall’s intentions are good, but just in case there’s any doubt, I’m at my buddy’s disposal. I love that you have curtis’ back. Always. You know what? To long friendships. Yeah, and to new ones. I really look forward to getting to know the woman that clearly has stolen my buddy’s heart.

[ Chuckles ] Cheers. Cheers. Oh, jordan, it’s so good to see you. You’re looking so strong and healthy. And ready to hit the ground running. Oh, I’ve missed you so much. I missed you, too. Thank you for all the calls and texts. And for your beautiful weekly flower deliveries.

[ Laughter ] You both really kept my spirits up. Good. Well, we’re both just so grateful to have you back. Now, tell me something, jordan. Are you sure you’re ready to go back to work? I’m sure. You should have seen me when I heard peter august was on the loose. Oh, my goodness, they probably had to lock you in your room. Almost. I know that’s wrapped up, but there have to be other pending cases. What? The investigation isn’t completely wrapped up. Well, what’s the status? Jordan, some of this is classified, and you’re not officially back on the job yet. Right. I’m sorry. I should have called you first before just assuming I could pick up where I left off. I don’t know, laura. I mean, if this runs as deep as we suspect, we’re gonna need as much help as we can get as quickly as we can get it. Well, then, uh, barring a few small but necessary formalities, I hereby reinstate you as commissioner of the pcpd. Welcome back.

[ Laughs ] You won’t regret it. I know that. I know what we have is new, and we haven’t established who I am to your boys. But I’d like to build something with them. If that’s okay with you. I would like that. Yeah. And you’re not overstepping. I just wish I had answers. You’re gonna get them. We’re gonna figure out who’s doing this, and we’re gonna put a stop to it. I promise you that. I’m sorry mom’s freaked out, but I am also happy franco’s painting was saved. At least now we have something to remember him by. Well, we have our memories, too. Yeah, but memories fade. You know, people move on, and sometimes I just worry franco’s being forgotten. Hey. Hey. Why don’t you take that? Yeah, like that. Hm? All right, I got it. Okay, you want to pull your hand back. Okay. Put it by your ear. Like that? Yeah, just like you’re gonna throw. Throw a baseball. Ohh. I like baseball. Yeah, I know you do. Mm-hmm. Okay. So you’re gonna just bring it forward and you’re gonna flick it and let it go and let the axe do all the work. Okay. Are you ready? Yeah, I’m ready. Okay. Don’t hit me.

[ Laughs ] Bull’s-eye! Huh? Wow! Wow! Damn. Oh, thank you. I just needed — just needed a little lesson. I needed a little you. My mountain man. Oh, let’s, uh… let’s not make that one stick.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Sighs ] Spinelli is the best in the biz, but his timing is always off. Yep, it’s him. Hey. Okay. All right, send it over right now. Thanks. What do you got? Spinelli is sending over camera footage from the entrance of the cemetery. Can we roll that back a little bit? Is that betsy? Well, it sure does look like her. What is she doing? She never went in. She just left. Which means she lied. And we can’t account for her whereabouts.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Wait. Hold on. Talk to me. Okay. Okay, I’ll tell him. Okay, so spinelli was able to run a background check on betsy. Mostly insignificant. Mostly? It looks like last november, she was arrested by the new york state police.

A dumpster? Yep, a dumpster. Why? Oh, it was — okay, we were in there, we were looking for a bag from a defunct chinese restaurant. It’s a long story. We were hoping the bag could tie a guy to a crime. We’re in there, right, and we’re looking for it, and we come across this enormous rodent. No. Yes! No. Yes, curtis freaked out. You shouldn’t seen him. I’ve never seen somebody jump so high, so fast in my entire life. Mnh-mnh. His exact words were, “no, no, no, I don’t do rats.”

[ Laughs ] Just like that. I can see him doing that. How indiana jones of him. Right? Wasn’t it? Really was actually. Oh, gosh. Wow. You guys have really had some adventures together. We have. We have. And I hear he’s about to embark on a new one with you. He told me you guys are moving in together. We’re looking at properties. That’s awesome.

[ Squeals ] Congratulations. Thank you. Any luck finding one? Not so far. Uh, we want spacious. We want contemporary. Okay. But nothing’s quite been the right fit. Thank you so much. You know, before I moved into the quartermaines, I was shown a property that was really amazing. And it is still… it’s still available if you want me to e-mail you the listing. Are you kidding me? Yes, I would love that. Yeah. And if this works out, I-I-I’m gonna owe you for sure. Oh, really? Yeah. Well, I hear your culinary skills are pretty amazing. So I-I never turn down a home-cooked meal. I’m just saying. Well, how’s the kitchen in the new house? Oh! It’s incredible. It’s super high-end. It’s got a dual-fuel range. It’s got an induction cooktop. I mean, you’re gonna love it. All right. Well, then that’s a deal. Deal. I listened to victor for as long as was humanly possible. I mean, that guy, slippery bastard, didn’t say anything even interesting, much less incriminating, and we had no idea where peter had taken you. I only wish I could have done more. You did a lot. Making a move on victor like that, it took guts. It took fear. I was afraid, maxie. I-I was afraid we wouldn’t find you. I was af-afraid of what would happen to you. I was afraid you wouldn’t forgive me. I was afraid, too. Well, of course. Look, I didn’t — I-I did not mean to compare what you were going through with what I was going through. I know it must have been really difficult for you, especially having to leave bailey behind. Oh, that was the easiest decision that I made, actually. Believe it or not, I’m used to leaving bailey behind, especially if it means she’s protected, which is funny considering now I can’t seem to let her out of my sight. Well, now you don’t have to. Thank god. Right. Okay, that was the easy part. What was the hard part? Staring down the barrel of forever, alone with peter, not being able to see the people that I care about anymore. That really made my blood run cold. I can imagine. A life without your mom, without mac. Anna, britt, liesl. You. I made the list. Look, whatever peter’s involvement was with victor, it wasn’t your fault, austin. I know that you only wanted the best for me. I still only want the best for you, maxie. I know. Thank you for saying that. Does that mean I’m forgiven? Hmm. How do they say yes in pautuck? We pretty much just say yes. Okay. Yes. Obrecht told you that victor seemed to want something from peter? Mm-hmm. Something related to drew? And his conditioning. So victor most likely was working with peter quid pro quo. But if the t heory is thatvictor helped peter escape, why send someone to kill him? I don’t know. Maybe he outlived his usefulness? So do you think victor got what he wanted? And what would that be? I don’t know. Your guess is as good as mine, really.

[ Sighs ] All right. Well, let’s meet tomorrow at the precinct, okay? I’ll text you. Okay, sounds good. Bye-bye. Bye. You want to grab dinner? I think T.J. Might be wrapped up in surgery for a while. Rain check? There’s someone else I need to see. I come bearing gifts. Could that be a steak frommetro court made medium rare? It could. And it’s still warm. Ohh. I got green lights all the way over here. My lucky day. Luckier than you know because I have some exciting news for you. What was betsy arrested for? A driving infraction. But my phone can’t provide details of the arrests. Hmm. I normally go to a friendly neighbor, law enforcement guy. Really? Mm-hmm. How friendly? Well,we’re pretty tight. Hm. We’ve got great chemistry. Yeah. And we make the most beautiful axe throwing together. Hm. It sounds to me like I would like this guy. Oh, no one likes him better than I do. Oh.

[ Sighs ] What are you doing? What are you doing?

[ Clears throat ] Oh, you’re going to show me up. Yeah. Hey, donovan. Yeah, can you do me a favor? See, you’re not the only person who knows people. Finn: Hey. Listen, I, um… I didn’t mean to question you earlier. Uh, it’s okay. No, it’s not, jake, and I’m sorry. Um… you don’t know me very well, and I… sometimes have a tendency to live in my own head, and communication is not always my best suit. You’ll have to forgive me. I’M… I’m just worried about your mom. Aiden, cam, and i can take care of our mom. We have been ever since franco… and you boys have been amazing. But it’s not your job to take care of me. I want — and franco would want you guys just to enjoy being kids. How can you know what franco would want when he’s not here to tell us? The same way we knew his favorite paint color and what part of the movie would make him laugh. We knew him. And we are so much luckier for it. Finn: I’m not trying to replace franco, jake. But I hope together, if you’re willing, maybe we could forge a different bond — one of our own.

Check out the double-sided fireplace and all that space out here for entertaining. Man, look at that. And a big room for trina just in case she wants a break from the dorms. What are you thinking? Well, I think it’s perfect. And I take it you agree. I absolutely love it. I absolutely love you. Oh, my god. Did we just find our new home? We might have.

[ Squeals ]

[ Both laugh ] Oh, baby. About that job… you reconsidered?

[ Chuckles ] I was always interested. I just had to run it by somebody important first. Hey, I’m

gratefulfor this job offer, drew. And I would like to be considered. All right. After you fill out the standard application, we’ll just get started on that background check. I got nothing to hide. Austin: I’m glad we can talk through this. Yeah, me too. Your friendship means a lot to me. How much? Like, on a scale of 1 to 10? Yeah. How much? There was a time not so long ago when you and I talked about being more than just friends. I remember. Me too. And you told me that you had to focus on getting your louise, now bailey louise, back. And she is. So what are you going tofocus on now?

[ Cellphone rings ] What on ea rth do you want? So betsy was arrested for driving erratically, but she was not under the influence. Being sober doesn’t get you arrested. No, but attacking a state trooper does. Yikes. Yeah. I guess betsy was in such a bad way they had to stop at the first hospital and put her on a 9.27(a) hold for evaluation. Oh, a 72-hour involuntary psychiatric hold. Oh, that’s pretty good, P.I. Yeah, well, you know, I have my moments. Do you know what this means? Yeah. Betsy was considered an immediate danger to herself and others. I want to be here for all of you. But I agree with you, jake. Franco shouldn’t be forgotten, and he won’t be. Can I go upstairs? Of course.

[ Doorbell rings ] That’s the food. Betsy. I wasn’t expecting you. There’s something I need to — oh, I-I thought you’d be alone, not… no, betsy, wait. Clearly, you’re here for a reason. Just tell me what it is. I wasn’t honest with you before. You deserve the truth, elizabeth — all of it.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Slow country music]

Roman: Hey, hey. How’d it go?

Tripp: How’d what go?

Roman: Don’t give me that. You proposed to allie, right?

Tripp: Yeah. Yeah, that was a disaster.

Allie: Oh, it’s you.

Kate: Sorry. Who were you expecting?

Allie: Nobody. I was hoping it was tripp.

Kate: Honey, you’ve been crying. What’s wrong?

Allie: Everything.

Kate: Oh, baby. Oh.

Allie: [Breathing heavily]

Tony: [Sighs] Seems like it’s taking forever.

Chad: I’m losing it. We got this information from abby’s kidnapper, who could’ve just sent us on a wild-goose chase.

Tony: Well, I have a decent relationship with ned. That’s why I was able to convince him that it was in his best interest to tell us the truth.

Chad: Well, I hope you convinced him.

Tony: I threatened him with anna’s wrath.

Chad: Okay, so then you brought out the heavy artillery. It’s just…it’s taking us so long to get there.

Tony: Chad, our time in key west paid off. We now know where abigail is.

Chad: With kristen. I just pray that abby’s safe and unharmed by the time we finally get there.

[Banging on door]

Abigail: Kristen! Kristen, let me out of here! Tell me I can come and go as i please and then you lock the damn door?

[Banging] Kristen!

[Sighs] I was out of my mind to believe her anyway.

[Keys jangling]

[Gasps] Oh, my god! It’s you!

Kristen: [Grunts] Well, happy valentine’s day, lovebirds.

[Tense music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Kristen: [Sighs] I am sorry about the gags. I just–my head was killing me. I couldn’t bear another lecture about how I turned the tables on you, hmm? You two have always been so pushy. And your niece, she takes after you as well.

Steve: Abigail? She’s here?

Kayla: What have you done with her?

Kristen: Well, at the moment, she’s curled up with a really good book.

Steve: Tell us where abigail is right now, or I’m gonna–

Kristen: Oh, you’ll what? You’ll what? You’re gonna shoot me with a flare gun? I mean, you know what? I’ve already tried to shoot the lights off my christmas tree. And guess what. Didn’t work.

Steve: You can do some real damage with these things if you know what you’re doing.

Kristen: Oh. And do you know what you’re doing, steve?

Steve: You bet I do.

[Body thuds, flare gun clatters]

Kristen: You see, I’m not the one who clobbered you. It was sarah. Oh, I’m sorry, renee dumonde.

[Dramatic music]

Abigail: Sarah! Oh, my god! I am so glad to see you. You’re the reason that I’m here. I came looking for you.

Sarah: What are you doing in my room? I had to sleep somewhere else last night.

Abigail: I’m so s–

Sarah: I don’t even know who you are.

Abigail: Sarah, I–

Sarah: Why does everyone keep calling me that? My name is renee. Renee dumonde.

Abigail: I’m sorry if i upset you. I know everything that’s happened to you. Kristen told me all about it.

Sarah: What’s happened to me? It’s not me; it’s you and everyone else. I know who I am. What, are you all crazy or something? I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Kate: So you cheated on tripp. Do you mind me asking who with?

Allie: Chanel.

Kate: Okay.

Allie: She’s, like, my best friend I ever had. When she moved here, I couldn’t believe how happy I was to see her again.

Kate: Did… I mean, did chanel come on to you or…

Allie: No, no. Definitely not. It was–it was just a couple of kisses, that’s all.

Kate: Do you consider that cheating?

Allie: No. And I told tripp about that, and he was cool. I mean, he didn’t judge me at all or anything. And then chanel and johnny got married and we put it all behind us.

Kate: Okay. Well, honey, I don’t understand the problem.

Allie: Well, at chanel’s wedding party, when johnny broke up with her in front of everyone, she was a wreck. I’d never seen her like that. She’s usually kicking ass. Anyway, she asked me to stay over, and we were laying in bed and it just kinda happened. It was just one time.

Kate: And you told tripp after he asked you to marry him.

Allie: No. No, it wasn’t me who told tripp. It was my brother.

Kate: Johnny?

Allie: Mm-hmm. He showed up right after I said yes, and we told him we were engaged, and he just blurted it out.

Kate: What? Why would he do something so cruel?

Allie: I don’t know. He’s not the same anymore, grandma.

[Sighs] Chanel told tripp he was lying.

Kate: But tripp didn’t buy it.

Allie: After johnny left, he asked me if it was true. I took one look at his face and I knew I had to be honest.

Kate: So look, honey. If you are feeling confused about your sexuality, perhaps it isn’t the best time to commit to–

Allie: No, no. I’m not confused. I love tripp.

Kate: [Sighs] God, I would just love to tear johnny from limb to limb.

Allie: Thinking about what he did to chanel and now what he’s done to me… I hate him, grandma. I told him he’s not my brother anymore.

Kate: Well, good for you.

Allie: Doesn’t matter anyway, though. I mean, I’m the one who screwed everything up. I kept something huge from tripp for weeks, and he found out anyway.

Kate: In the worst possible way, the worst possible time.

[Sighs] Honey, is there any hope?

Allie: I don’t think so. I mean, I wouldn’t blame tripp if he never wanted to see me again.

Roman: Okay, well… I did hear that something happened between allie and chanel, but I thought it was minor and over with.

Tripp: Them kissing?

Roman: Yeah.

Tripp: Yeah. Yeah, allie told me about that. And I was pretty surprised, but she said it had nothing to do with us and that it was over. So I…made myself get past that, and… after that, things were really good between us. I mean, great even. And she knew that, and– and she went and slept with chanel.

Roman: How long ago?

Tripp: The night of the party. Wedding party where johnny told everybody that the marriage was over.

Roman: Okay, well, that was, like, a month ago.

Tripp: I shouldn’t be telling you this stuff. I mean, she’s your granddaughter.

Roman: Yeah. Yeah. And I love her. But she’s been through hell and you’re, like– well, hell, you’re the best thing that’s happened to her in a long time, so that’s why I gave you my blessing.

Tripp: And you also told me not to rush into marriage unless I was sure that’s what she wanted, and… man, were you right.

Kristen: Mm. When sarah clocked you, you went down for the count, and it was glorious. Oh, and you, you tough little doctor/barmaid. You looked like a scared baby lamb.

Kayla: Steve. Steve, are you all right? Why would you do that? You stood up at our wedding. What is wrong with you?

Sarah: What’s wrong with you? Why were you threatening my sister?

Kristen: Oh, thank you, renee. Your loyalty has always been so touching. But you know what? I can take it from here.

[Tense music]

And since you were down for the count, it was relatively easy to get you and your beloved down here. Hmm?

Steve: [Muffled speech]

Kristen: [Growls mockingly]

[Laughs] For crying out loud, use your words, huh? And mind your manners if you know what’s good for you.

Steve: What have you done with abigail?

Kayla: Where is she?

Kristen: Oh, my god. I mean, I make you guys this wonderful meal and all you can do is harp on about abigail? I’m telling you, she’s doing just fine. I mean, except for her guilty conscience.

Abigail: I came here hoping to find you, and you’re the one who found me. But, um… if you’ll give me a chance, I’ll try to explain everything. Do you recognize this?

Sarah: Of course. It’s my diary.

Abigail: Well, I hope you don’t mind, but I read it.

Sarah: [Laughs] I should be upset, but I guess it’s an open book.

Abigail: It’s an unbelievable story, though. I know it’s true, but the thing is, it’s not your story. It’s renee’S.

Sarah: You say you wanna explain things, but you don’t understand anything.

Abigail: Okay, you trust kristen, right?

Sarah: She’s my little sister.

Abigail: Okay, well, she told me that she gave this to you after she brought you here.

Sarah: She gave me a lot of books.

Abigail: But you had been drugged and you were kidnapped, so you were vulnerable and you were really, really confused. So you read this and you became convinced that this was the story of your life. But it’s not your story, because you are not renee.

Sarah: How could reading a diary make me think that I am someone that I’m not?

Abigail: Because of me.

Tony: I understand your feelings about kristen.

Chad: She wasn’t always this bad. When I came into the family, she treated me like an annoying kid brother, but she seemed to like me.

Tony: Well, it all seemed to have gotten worse for her when her relationship with brady fell apart and she lost contact with her daughter.

Chad: If you say so.

Tony: I think there is a part of her that still thinks of you as being her brother and remembers jennifer as a friend. But I’m in agreement. I don’t think she’d bring any harm to your wife and jennifer’s child.

Chad: Well, even if that’s true–god willing, it is– we have no idea what to expect when we land on that island. If we ever do. I mean, I didn’t even know this place existed. I don’t know anything about this place.

Tony: I do. I’ve spent some time there.

Chad: On family business or…

Tony: Actually, it was a romantic getaway.

Chad: Why didn’t you tell me you and anna had been there?

Tony: No, no, it was before anna, before you were born. There was a woman I was very much in love with by the name of renee dumonde.

Sarah: How can it be your fault that anything happened to me if I don’t even know you?

Abigail: It’s my fault that you got the drug that kristen gave you.

Sarah: What drug?

Abigail: You found a syringe loaded with a mind-altering drug.

Sarah: You’re making this up.

Abigail: No, no, I’m not. No, I know because I tried to give it to my sister. I mean, she’d done terrible things to me, which is no excuse. But I locked her in the room that you were in.

Sarah: [Laughs] And you’re supposed to be my savior?

Abigail: Look, I didn’t give it to her, okay, because somebody stopped me. But…I left it behind. And then you found it and you tried to use it to defend yourself against kristen.

Sarah: Why would I defend myself against kristen? She’s always been good to me.

Abigail: She may have told you that, but it was a lie. Okay, kristen is the one who locked you in that room. Then she injected you with the drug, and then she brought you here, okay? Now… if you would let me tell you the whole story, I believe that I can help you understand how this all really happened… and who you really are.

Kristen: It’s true. Little abigail was planning on shooting her big sister full of happy juice and sweat a confession out of her.

Steve: But abigail didn’t go through with her plan. She came to her senses.

Kayla: It was you. You’re the one that shot sarah with that happy juice and put renee’s diary in her hand at just the right moment.

Kristen: Okay, it was sarah who was waving that syringe in my face. I was forced to use it on her. But it was abigail who left the syringe where sarah could find it, so you know what? This is all on abigail.

Steve: Oh, man. That’s stretching it.

Kayla: You know, I’m not gonna believe a word you say until I see abigail for myself and see that she is all right.

Steve: Take us to her. Now.

Kristen: Aren’t you guys hungry? Don’t you want this lovely meal I made? Come on, you kids. You have so much to celebrate, huh?

[Sighs] See, it’s not just valentine’s day. It’s your anniversary.

[Tense music]

Kate: As someone who has had a certain number of relationships turn bad, I don’t think you should ever give up hope.

Allie: You weren’t there.

Kate: I know. I know. But I’m thinking perhaps tripp reacted the way he did because he felt blindsided. And once he calms down, he’s going to realize how much he’s thrown away. Have you tried to talk to him yet?

Allie: No. He was so mad, hurt. I don’t even think he could stand to look at me.

Kate: Okay, well, look. I am not going to leave you here by yourself, okay? Why don’t you come to the pub with me? I’m going to have dinner with roman.

Allie: No, no. Okay? It’s valentine’s day and I’m a mess. You guys should be alone.

Kate: Okay, but you shouldn’t be alone. And after what’s happened to you, do you think we’re gonna have a good time? Because we’re not. Honey, you are the child of my child, and I love you more than I can even say. All right? Please, will you come with me?

Tripp: I just– I just don’t get it, you know? I– it’s not that she cheated on me– or it’s not just that she cheated on me. It was with chanel. So it just makes me think maybe… maybe she’s not as into men as she wants to be.

Roman: Look… I can’t answer that, but I can tell you that I do know what it feels like… to be cheated on by a woman you thought you’d spend the rest of your life with.

Tripp: Dad and kayla told me about you and marlena.

Roman: Yeah. Marlena, she told me that she loved me. She swore that she loved me, and I believed her. But turns out that she loved john in a different way, and because of that, our marriage ended.

Tripp: I think allie loves me; that’s the hard part. She’s a good person. She wouldn’t just go behind my back for someone who meant nothing to her. So maybe… maybe she just loves chanel in a different way. Like marlena and john.

Roman: Well, you know, we’d been married a long time when we split up. We had kids. You’re not there yet. Maybe this thing with chanel is a phase, you know? But look, what do I know? You tell me, though, that… you believe that allie still loves you. And you know you love her. So isn’t there possibly some way that you two could get past this? Are you one of the millions of americans

Chad: Whoa. So you and renee fell in love… and then found out that you were brother and sister?

Tony: Right.

Chad: The old man really got around, huh?

Tony: No, renee broke it off without ever telling me the real reason. But she finally discovered… that it was never true.

Chad: Oh, because you’re not father’s biological son?

Tony: Well, by that time… she’d already married julie’s son, david banning, and… I’d met my anna.

Chad: And that was it for you two.

Tony: Well, as far as I was concerned, it was, but renee felt differently. She felt she’d been cheated out of happiness and… she wanted me back. Oh, she did such hideous things to anna.

Chad: I’m sorry, man.

Tony: And it was all for naught. Anna’s the love of my life. And she finally had to accept the fact that nothing she could do could come between us. I hate to say this. I never wished renee any harm… but my life has become far less complicated now that she’s dead.

[Sighs]

[Chuckles] I think I see–I can see land. As a matter of fact, I can see lights. We might be there soon.

[Chuckles]

[Ominous music]

Sarah: So let me get this straight.

[Laughs] I happened upon kristen while she was masquerading as someone else. So she kidnapped me and locked me in a “secret room.”

Abigail: Right.

Sarah: Mm. And that’s where I found this syringe. And I came at her with it, but she got hold of it and used it on me.

Abigail: Truth is stranger than fiction.

Sarah: I don’t believe any of this.

Abigail: Because you don’t remember any of it. The drug affected your mind and it wiped away any memory that you have of being sarah horton.

Sarah: Kristen would never do that to me.

Abigail: Kristen would do that to anybody who got in her way, okay? Look. Now, I don’t think that she knew what was in the syringe, okay? It’s a very, very powerful drug, and it has made you believe that you are someone that you’re not. Now, I know what it can do. My sister gave it to me. She spiked a glass of champagne with it, and the next thing i know, I’m having hallucinations and I was in a psychiatric hospital for months. I could have lost my husband, my kids, everyone, everything that I love. But I got treatment and I got better. Okay? Now, sarah… if you don’t listen to me, you could go down the same rabbit hole that I did, and… you might never get out.

[Cork pops]

Kristen: Whoo!

[Chuckles] See, valentine’s day must mean a lot to you two. You got married twice on that same day. And I bet you wore red both times.

[Laughs] So how about you two tuck into some island chicken, hmm? And I can untie you. It’ll be lovely.

Kayla: Why is she doing this?

Steve: I don’t know. But I don’t think we should touch that chicken.

Kristen: Oh, come on. I’m always on the side of people in love.

Steve: Even you can’t make that one work.

Kristen: [Laughs] There’s no point in you two not enjoying what this beautiful island has to offer, hmm? Hey. You know what? You’re not going anywhere. So you can either just sit here tied up and stare at each other, or… you can enjoy this wonderful dinner and… celebrate the important milestone. It’s your choice.

[Suspenseful music]

Steve: Okay. We’ll take the dinner.

Kristen: Good for you.

[Laughs] And I’m gonna untie you, hmm?

Tripp: Allie said she still wanted to marry me. What happened with chanel was just a mistake that she’d always regret.

Roman: Okay. And you believed her?

Tripp: I wanted to.

Roman: Do you still love her?

Tripp: Yeah, it’s not like i can just turn off the switch.

Roman: Okay, so you do. So let me ask you this, all right? If she still loves you and you still love her, don’t you think that maybe you… could find it in your heart to forgive her?

[Door clicks open]

[Slow country music]

To be a thriver with

metastatic breast cancer

Tripp: What are you doing here?

Kate: She came with me. We didn’t know you were going to be here too.

Tripp: I’m gonna go.

Kate: Tripp, please. Please don’t go. I brought allie here because she’s heartbroken. And I didn’t want her to be alone. She just told me that she still loves you and she feels miserable about what happened. I know that you’re hurt. I know you are. But the two of you had something that was just so lovely together. Can’t you find it in your heart to forgive her?

Tripp: Roman just asked me the same question.

Roman: So what’s your answer?

[Tender music]

Kayla: [Grunts] Oh.

[Door rattles]

Steve: [Grunts]

Kayla: No luck?

Steve: No. After that pretty speech she gave about love and family, she locked us in here again. We’re not gonna eat this food, are we?

Steve: I don’t know. I mean, we saw her uncork that champagne. I don’t think even kristen could poison it and cork it back up again.

Kayla: Yeah, but she could do anything she wants to that island chicken.

Steve: Yeah. But she didn’t poison that salad you ate.

Kayla: That’s true. And we do need to eat something so we don’t pass out.

Steve: Can’t afford to pass out. And I’m tired of second-guessing that woman. I want us to celebrate our anniversary. Okay? So I say let’s go for it. Happy anniversary, sweetness.

Kayla: Happy anniversary.

[Glasses clink]

[Dramatic music]

Abigail: You’re thinking about what I said, aren’t you? I can see it in your face. I know better than anyone what you are going through. You don’t know if you can believe what you’re seeing with your own eyes. I mean, my mind was so messed up, I didn’t even recognize my own husband. I actually thought he was a serial killer named ben weston. And all the while, he’s chad dimera. The same chad that loves me.

Sarah: Did you say dimera?

Abigail: Yeah. My husband is stefano’s youngest son– as far as we know, anyway.

Sarah: If that’s really true, if he’s stefano’s son, then… you’re married to my brother. You and I, we’re practically sisters!

[Tense music]

Your home…

Roman: Tripp, what is your answer?

Allie: Don’t do this to him, okay? Not here. Not in front of everyone. I know you can barely stand to be in the same room as me right now, and I don’t blame you. I hate myself for what I did to you. I– you are the guy who stood by me through everything. You loved me even when I was a complete mess. You’ve already forgiven me for other stupid stuff I’ve done. And henry. Henry loves you so much. He loves you like a father. I– tripp, I think the reason that I couldn’t tell you about what happened with chanel and me is the same reason that i couldn’t tell you why i loved you for so long. It’s because I felt like– like damaged goods. And I felt like I wasn’t good enough for you, and now I’ve proven that, and…

[Cries] I will never– I will never stop hating how much I hurt you. And I’ll never stop loving you either.

Tripp: You’re saying all these things, and it seems like you mean it. But… you’ve also said a lot of other things I thought you meant. I feel like I– like I’ll never really be sure that it’s me that you want. And if we’re not together, I… I can never really be sure of who you’re with, what you’re doing. And I… I can’t live like that, I’m sorry.

Allie: [Sobs] Oh, god.

Kate: Oh, allie, I’m so sorry. I should never have brought you back here.

Allie: No, no. It’s not your fault, grandma. It’s me. I just wanna go hold henry.

Roman: Hey, allie, why don’t you hang with kate and I? Have some dinner.

Allie: No, no. I couldn’t eat anything right now. I just wanna go.

Kate: Oh, god.

[Somber music]

Steve: [Sighs] So how do you feel?

Kayla: Like I haven’t been poisoned.

Steve: Yeah, I feel okay too.

Kayla: [Laughs]

Steve: What were you just thinking about?

Kayla: Um… our first valentine’s day wedding at julie’s place when it was still club tbd.

Steve: Yeah, we just got back from trying to track stefano down, and we said, “to hell with that guy. We’re getting married.”

Kayla: Yeah. You know, it was so special because joey and stephanie were there.

Steve: Oh, yeah.

Kayla: I really thought that was gonna be our forever wedding.

Steve: Should have been. ‘Cause that guy who sent you those divorce papers wasn’t really me.

Kayla: Wish I would have known that.

Steve: So do I. But we’re fine now. Okay? And last valentine’s day, that was our forever wedding.

Kayla: Well, it was certainly my only surprise wedding I ever had.

[Laughs]

Steve: That’s right. Yeah, it was a surprise for you. But I just could not wait another day to be your husband and for you to be my wife. You know what? I always remember the last thing you said to me when you vowed to be my wife again.

Kayla: What?

Steve: You said you knew this was gonna be our last wedding… because you’d never let me go again.

Kayla: I meant that. If you decide to leave me, I’m– I’m going with you.

Steve: I’m not going anywhere, baby.

[Tender music]

Abigail: Uh, okay. I am not your sister-in-law. I’m your cousin. Okay? Your dad and my grandfather were brothers.

Sarah: I didn’t even know I had a brother named chad.

Abigail: Well, he didn’t know he was stefano’s son until he was in college.

Sarah: So my long-lost brother. You know, for a while, I thought that tony was my half brother. It was awful. But then we found out that stefano wasn’t his father. But it was too late.

Abigail: We’re talking about your family, the hortons.

Sarah: I told you I didn’t wanna hear any of that. Tell me about chad. And tony. When was the last time that you saw him? Did he talk about me? Does he miss me as much as I miss him?

[Dramatic music]

Tony: So… how do you like the family pile?

Chad: Well, it could use a renovation, that’s for sure.

Tony: Yes, it does look a bit… the worse for wear. But I remember it.

[Sighs] I’ve been here before.

Chad: With renee. This place is enormous.

Tony: Yes, it has at least two wings. You know, we should check every room. Hopefully, we’ll find abigail in one of them.

Chad: Well, then we should split up.

Tony: Okay.

[Tense music]

Kristen: Hmm. I could have sworn I heard the front door.

My asthma felt anything but normal.

Abigail: Now that you know that I’m married to a dimera, you must believe I would never lie to you.

[Gasps] Oh, my god!

Chad: Abby.

Abigail: I knew you’d find me! Oh.

Chad: [Chuckles]

Allie: [Sniffles] “Hi, I put henry to bed and I’m going to bed myself. I’ll get up with henry in the morning so you and tripp can sleep as late as you want.”

[Sniffles] “I hope you had the best, most romantic valentine’s day ever.” Oh.

[Sniffles]

[Sobs]

[Somber music]

Tripp: “Amore mio.” My love.

Steve: So I’m at the pub, all set. Everything looks beautiful. And john calls at the last minute and he says…

Kayla: Mm-hmm?

Steve: Marlena can’t marry us and he can’t be my best man because they both have… food poisoning.

Kayla: Mm-hmm. Because marlena decided that she was gonna make john a valentine’s day breakfast.

Steve: Oh, big mistake.

Kayla: Danger.

Steve: Yeah. Yeah. Then our good friend abe showed up. He just happened to come to the pub just in time. He agreed to marry us, and tripp filled in as my best man.

Kayla: And sarah just happened to be going to the pub to pick up dessert for her and xander. So she was my maid of honor. Wow.

Steve: Seems like a lifetime ago, doesn’t it?

Kayla: Right now, it sure does. I wonder what tripp and allie are doing tonight.

[Lock clicks]

Kristen: Hello, lovebirds. Did you enjoy the island chicken?

Kayla: Was average.

Kristen: Hmm.

Steve: And guess you weren’t lying about not poisoning it.

Kristen: Well, that’s what I came down to tell you. I actually did lie.

Chad: Babe, are you sure you’re okay?

Abigail: I am now, yeah.

Sarah: Oh, my god. This is so romantic! Hi, chad. Nice to meet you.

Chad: What’s going on with her?

Sarah: [Laughs] Tony! Oh, my darling! Oh, I can’t believe you’re here!

[Tense music]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Brooke: When you moved back to L.A., I thought, “why not? Why not be friends? I mean, why continue this rivalry when it’s no longer relevant? Right?” But you were just biding your time. You were just lulling me, waiting for that perfect moment to move in on ridge.

Taylor: Oh, my god. I know that that is a very convenient way for you to look at it because it makes you the victim–

Brooke: Your little plan isn’t gonna work, taylor. Just stay away from my marriage.

Ridge: I’m not interested in anything you have to say.

Deacon: Well, you’re gonna listen to me because I’m trying to do you solid. Look. Guy to guy, I get it. You’re angry with brooke because of her lapse with me but it doesn’t mean you have to go boomerang back to taylor. Ridge. Work things out with your wife, man, all right? Forgive brooke.

Hope: I wonder what’s going on with ridge and my dad?

Liam: If I had to put money on it, I think I’d say nothing good.

Hope: You think that I made a mistake asking my dad to talk to ridge?

Liam: Listen, I know your intentions were pure. Obviously, you’re trying to save your mother’s marriage. It’s just… you know, having deacon be the one to plead brooke’s case to ridge? May not have the desired effect.

Finn: You hear that?

Steffy: No, I don’t hear anything.

Finn: Exactly. It’s you and me with the place all to ourselves.

Steffy: It has been a while.

Finn: I say we take full advantage.

Steffy: Mm. Baby, sometimes I just hate being a grown up but we can’t, we can’t, we can’t, we can’t, we can’T.

Finn: Mm, please do not tell me that.

Steffy: My mom could come home any minute.

Finn: Hmm…

Steffy: I’m sorry, baby.

Finn: No, not sorry as I am.

Steffy: I hope you’re not starting to regret my mom staying here.

Finn: No, not at all. I’m just, uh, really in love with you.

Steffy: Hm.

Finn: And I know how much it means to you, having taylor so close.

Steffy: Yeah, I am amazed by everything that’s happened since my mom’s been back. It really is like a dream come true.

Hope: This whole situation is a nightmare. You know, I never thought that we would wind up in this place again. I–I mean, mom and ridge seemed happy and now this? My mom might lose ridge to taylor, again. History repeating itself. And why? All because of one drunken night with my father.

Deacon: I’m gonna make this quick because this isn’t my idea of a good time.

Ridge: Well then, you should leave. Or I can throw you out, whatever’s easier.

Deacon: You know– go ahead. Take your best shot, man. Go ahead if it’s gonna– if it’s gonna make you feel better and allow you to actually hear me–

Ridge: What is it you’re looking for? You want brooke to come in and save you again?

Deacon: Ridge, come on, enough. Please. Forgive her. Don’t fall back into old patterns and leave brooke hanging for taylor.

Brooke: You have plenty to say about my bad behavior. What about yours? I thought you were supposed to be so much better than me.

Taylor: Well, those are your words, not mine.

Brooke: That’s what you and thomas and steffy think. But there’s nothing high-minded about going after somebody else’s husband.

Taylor: No, that is not the way that it happened, brooke. The reality of the situation is that things have changed. And your secrets and your lies are what made that happen, not me. Your little fling with deacon or whatever you want to call it, helped ridge see what was right in front of him: His family. And those are his words. He says he wants to come home.

Brooke: Ridge already has a home. With me. I’m his wife.

Taylor: Ridge took off his wedding ring. I’m not sure how much longer you can make that claim. Smooth dark chocolate, refreshing peppermint,

Finn: What was your favorite thing about your parents when you were growing up?

Steffy: My favorite thing. You’re going to limit it to one?

Finn: Okay, just the, uh, the top three. Ascending order.

Steffy: Okay. I think number three would have to be their mutual respect. My mom and my dad, they were never careless with each other. Not the way brooke is with my dad.

Finn: Had the same example. When you’re a kid, the world can be a scary place but if home can be where you can feel the ground underneath your feet, you can face anything and know it’ll be okay.

Steffy: Yeah, exactly.

Finn: Okay, number two.

>>Steffy: Number two would have to be the laughter. I mean, my father could crack my mom up like, yeah. She was the only one that got his humor and trust me, not everybody does.

Finn: Number one.

Steffy: Number one would have to be love. My mom and my dad, they– they radiated love. And as a kid, that’S… what I knew I wanted when I got older. And after a few false starts, I finally got it.

[ Steffy sighs ]

Deacon: Just listen to brooke. Really hear what she has to say. She wasn’t herself that night–

Ridge: She wasn’t herself that night because she was drinking, right? It doesn’t change the fact that she was making out with you. She slept in our bed with you. She defended you.

Deacon: She wasn’t defending me. She stopped us from killing each other. Why is that so unforgivable?

Ridge: Because she took your side. After everything you’ve done, she took your side. And I’m not okay with that. Never will be.

Deacon: Look, I don’t have to tell you, brooke’s got a good heart. She knows the meaning of forgiveness. You could take a page out of that book instead of defaulting back to taylor.

Ridge: You know what, deacon? Thank you for coming by. You reminded me that I need someone in my life that I can trust. I need stability. And I don’t have that with brooke.

Deacon: You know, maybe you’re right. Maybe it is too late for you and brooke.

Brooke: You must be loving this, thinking that you’ve won. That my marriage to ridge is over.

Taylor: Oh, stop, brooke. No, I don’t take any pleasure in your pain.

Brooke: Because my pain is your pleasure. If I’m in pain, it’s because I’m losing ridge. And if I’m losing ridge, who better to pick up the pieces?

Taylor: I have never stopped loving ridge, ever. But I’ve also never wished harm on your marriage.

[ Brooke laughs ]

Brooke: Oh, god. Why don’t you tell that to ridge? He might believe you. I certainly don’T.

Taylor: Okay, that’s fine. Ridge being done with you has nothing to do with me. Brooke. This is all you.

Brooke: No, I know. I take full responsibility for what happened.

Taylor: It doesn’t seem like you are. It’s like you’re trying to blame me for ridge leaving you.

Brooke: No, I’m not. I know that it was all my fault. I chose to drink that night. I chose to kiss deacon. I wish I could take it all back, I really do.

[ Sighs ] But then, when I told ridge about it, he said that he loved me, that he would forgive me. That we would work through it all together. And then, he went to see deacon and they were fighting, so I jumped in and i defended deacon. And that’s when ridge snapped. That’s when he went to you, stayed the night with you and you… kissed. I mean, ridge may think this is what he wants but I don’t know. You should enjoy it while you can. You and thomas and steffy, just enjoy the time you have with your sweet, little family. It’s not gonna last. Ridge will come back to me, taylor. He always does. He loves me. And you know that.

Taylor: Hey, do i smell baking?

Steffy: Mm-hm, it happens from time to time. You know, now that dad’s coming back, I thought it was a good reason to celebrate so I’m baking some cookies.

Taylor: Aw. That’s so sweet. He’s gonna love that.

Steffy: Is, uh, everything okay?

Taylor: Yeah, yeah, there’s just, there’s a lot going on.

Steffy: Mm-hm. And that’s good, right? I mean, the family’s coming back together. I was telling finn that this feels like such a dream.

Taylor: Yeah, that’s the thing about dreams. Sometimes they come with a rude awakening.

Steffy: Okay. What’s wrong? Please don’t try to play it off.

Taylor: I– I had a visitor today.

Steffy: Sheila? Again?

Taylor: No. It was, brooke, actually.

Steffy: Oh, no wonder you’re in a mood. I can’t even imagine what brooke had to say.

[ Knocking ]

Ridge: Your mother’s not here.

Hope: Oh, I know. I think you and I need to talk.

Ridge: So you heard what happened?

Hope: Yeah, but nothing has happened that you can’t take back yet.

[ Ridge sighs ]

Ridge: I didn’t want any of this. But here we are.

Hope: Ridge. My mother loves you.

Ridge: And I will always love her.

Hope: So then, fight for her. Fight for your marriage. I mean, she’s sorry that she hurt you. So can you please just not turn your back on her? Please, ridge?

[ Door opening]

Brooke: Deacon.

Deacon: You were hoping for ridge. Hope filled me in. Brooke, I’m sorry. I know your marriage is in trouble. Ridge and I are having a hard time communicating right now, but we’ll work it out–

Deacon: Don’t do that. Don’t, don’t sell yourself short.

Brooke: What does that mean?

Deacon: It means I’m sorry you’re going through this because you don’t deserve it. (Asaad) when I was little,

Steffy: So, what happened?

Taylor: Well, brooke was upset, as you can imagine.

Steffy: Yes, she always is when she betrays dad.

Taylor: Mm-hm. She told me she wasn’t gonna stand by and let me “steal” her husband.

[ Steffy laughs ]

Steffy: Talk about projection. I mean, what? She thinks you’re responsible for brooke drinking and kissing deacon? Okay. No. She was the one who sabotaged her own marriage.

Taylor: Yes, she did. But she’s been forgiven for worse. Bill spencer. Your father moved on from that.

Steffy: Yeah, because dad went through that, he doesn’t want to go through it again. He put his trust in brooke and she threw it in his face. I’m telling you mom, it’s over. He’s coming home to you. You’ll see.

Ridge: So, you and deacon a tag team, now? He was just here defending your mom.

Hope: Yeah, well, he did that for me as kind of a last resort sort of thing. I thought he might be able to get through to you. So if you’re angry, it’s– I’m the one to blame.

Ridge: I’m not angry at you. You’re a loving daughter who wants to clean up her mom’s mess.

Hope: I also need to clean up my mess. Ridge, I am sorry for the part that I played in what happened between the two of you. I never should have allowed my need for a relationship with my father to have a negative impact on your marriage to my mom.

Ridge: I’m surprised by that. I thought you would like the opportunity to have your parents back together.

[ Hope laughs ]

Hope: My mom loves you. You are the one who makes her happy.

Ridge: I believed that once.

Hope: You still should. My mom would have never had drinks with deacon that night, let alone kissed him, had she had been sober. And I think you know that. So please don’t throw away your entire marriage before you even talk to her, before you sit down and listen to her point of view and look into her eyes and see the love that she has for you. I think maybe then, you might be able to find forgiveness.

Deacon: You’re the most amazing woman I’ve ever met. And you’re not perfect. I mean, no one is. But any man, any man would be beyond lucky to have you by his side. I think ridge is being too hard on you.

Brooke: Because I hurt him. I just feel like my whole world is crashing down around me. One minute, everything was fine and the next– what happened to me? I mean, how could I betray my husband like that?

Deacon: Brooke, it was one kiss. That’s all.

Brooke: Deacon, you and i shared a bed together, a bed that I sleep in with my husband.

Deacon: Absolutely nothing happened. You didn’t even know I was there till the next morning, which is more than I can say about ridge and taylor. Yeah, I know he spent the night with her.

Brooke: It’s not what you’re insinuating.

Deacon: Okay. All right. All I’m saying is, I’m sorry. All right? This is a– an indignity that you shouldn’t have to suffer. Okay, I get it. The guy– the guy got upset. He got his feelings hurt. Well, you know what? Man the hell up. Work things out with your wife. You don’t go running into the arms of another woman. To taylor? Come on. Where’s the– where’s the respect?

Brooke: I can’t deny it does bother me thinking of ridge and taylor together. But ridge and I will work through this. And I’m willing to do whatever it takes.

Deacon: Again? Come on, how many times have you guys been through this? You know, you have a fight, you split up. You fight like hell to get back together. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Brooke: All couples have their different challenges.

Deacon: Yeah, but your marriage to ridge has been nothing but. Think about it, from the very beginning, you’ve always had to question your place in his heart. Meanwhile, he bounces back and forth between you and taylor. And you know, now, finally, finally, you felt like you were on solid ground and here you are again. I– I get it. We, we had a kiss. We had a– a dumb, drunken kiss on new year’s eve. But for him to run into the arms of another woman? Look, I’m not saying this to upset you and hurt you. I just want you to see– I want you to see your worth. You are so amazing. You– you deserve to be respected and cherished. And loved. Unconditionally. I think it’s time you hang things up with ridge. You know, and all that, that painful history that comes with it. I mean, he’s moving on and it seems like he’s doing it pretty damn quickly. I think it’s time you move on too, to a man who has always loved you, who will never let you down, no matter what. I know that you want that man to be ridge. But it isn’T. And it probably never was, and it never will be. But that man does exist. And he’s standing right here in front of you.
