THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

how can the state department have no record of my birth? That’s just…wrong. I mean, I had a copy of my birth certificate until I lost it. Ugh, this is a bureaucratic nightmare.

[ Sighs ] Okay, let’s just — let’s just hope my mom can find her copy, so I don’t have to prove that I was born in the U.S. What? No, I just… look, harmony’s been putting you off about your birth certificate. I mean, could it be that she just doesn’t have it? You mean, could it be more than a clerical error? My mom’s hiding something about my birth. Maybe that’s why she’s been so evasive. So she’s been lying to me this whole time. Not to sound distrusting, but I knew there was something that you weren’t telling me. I’m sorry. I’ve kept this secret for my daughter’s entire life, so, uh… it’s hard to just come out and say it. This is a safe place. Harmony, you can talk to me. The reason why I can’t tell willow that I forged the birth certificate is because… …I’m not her mother. Do you remember me? I’m your mimi.

[ Chuckles ] Can I hold her? Of course. Hi. Hello. Hey.

[ Chuckles ] Oh. Ahh! I was so happy to get your text! Oh, hi. It’s so good to see you. You, too. You, too. Hasn’t been that long, though. I know, but I’m still getting used to you not living at home, so cut me some slack. Well, you’re not living at home, either. No, I’m not. Are you okay? I’m fine. I don’t want you to worry about me, okay? Well, it’s kind of hard not to when you’re here and not with avery and donna. Well, I saw them this morning for breakfast. I know. Avery told me… right before she asked when you’d be home to stay. Hey. There she is. Happy day-after-valentine’s day. Mm. Curtis, I am so, so sorry. Oh, stop.

[ Sighs ] Look, you’re a doctor. You were — you were needed. You know? And besides, we can still celebrate. Oh. What’d you have in mind? Well… that would depend on what the rest of your evening looks like. Well, barring another emergency, I am off the clock for the next 32 hours. Well, then how do you feel about a quiet evening in? What do you mean by quiet? Okay, let me rephrase that. No, I’m kidding. I would absolutely love some private time. So where you want to go? Want to go to my place? Your place? What if there was another option? She didn’t pick up. I guess I’ll just have to track her down after class. Hey, look, paris isn’t going anywhere. There’ll be other trips. I know, I know. And, honestly, this isn’t even about the passport anymore. I think you’re right. I think my mom’s been keeping something from me. But I can’t dwell on that right now. I have to get to the hospital. I don’t want to be late. I love you. I love you, too. And we’ll get to the bottom of this, okay? I promise. Okay, okay.

[ Sighs ] Have you seen your mother? No. Okay, I need to find her before she does something we’re both going to regret.


Louise, you have no idea how happy this makes me. And just wait until grandpa mac sees you. He’ll be putty in your hands. Yeah. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my granddaughter. Except when peter kidnapped her. Oh, well, all that matters now is that she’s here and that you’re safe and that your mommy’s gonna be home very soon, right, louise? Hmm? You may want to give her some time with that name. She’s really used to being called bailey. Oh, okay. But I can tell you’re one smart cookie. Aren’t you? Just like your mama.

[ Chuckles ] Um, okay, so what else? When she rubs her ears, it means she’s ready for a nap. Oh, okay, good to know. Um, she usually sleeps through the night, but it may take her some time in a strange… in a new place. Yeah, it just took a few nights at the beach house, but… yeah, she got it, though. Um, but if — if she’s ever upset, you could just give her mr. Snuggles. Oh, mr. Snuggles? Yeah, that’s her stuffed doll. It’s — it’s a sure thing. Thank you. Thank you. I can tell how hard this is for both of you. But I want you to know, I-I promise you that she’s going to be well taken care of. We know she will. Well, I’m gonna take her home to our place after she visits with mac, and then we’ll get you all settled in, and then you can come and visit any time you want. I mean that. Thank you. Okay. Okay. I-I should go. Make sure she’s taken care of. Yeah, good call. Um, hey, kiddo. Kiddo. See you later, okay? Why don’t you start from the beginning? Uh, okay. Douglas and I, uh, used to live on a commune in colorado. Right. I knew that. Yeah. It was called friends of peace and love. It was led by the prophet josiah. Um, this pregnant woman named joan joined our community, and she and i became friends. And about a week after she gave birth, I woke up one morning and joan was gone. So she left the baby there. Josiah said that god wanted douglas and me to raise the little girl as our own. And so you did. Who was i to question god? I’m not trying to put you on the spot, mom. I just feel like a bad big sister when I can’t answer avery’s questions. Oh, I’m so sorry. Okay, so what do I tell her? You tell her the truth. Which is? You don’t know what I’m coming home. Well, do you know? Talk to me. I thought you weren’t gonna put me on the spot. Yeah, well, I’m not a little kid anymore. I can handle it. I know you can. I know you can. I’m worried. Don’t worry, okay? Don’t worry about me. Well, mom, it’s — it’s a little late for that, okay, because I watched you, for months, fight for our family, and then when sonny came home, what was supposed to be this happy celebration and reunion turned out to be a bunch of lies and cover-ups. And I do not blame you for leaving, but this all must be so hard on you, and I need to make sure that you have somebody to lean on, especially now that jason’s gone. I’ve been looking for a new place, and now that aunt stella’s recovered from her stroke, she doesn’t need me around so much. So I was gonna give her my place, and then, that way, we could have some much needed privacy. Well, that’s — that’s very generous of you. I mean, yeah, yeah, you have to do what’s best for you. Well, it’s not what’s best for me. It’s what’s best for us. Okay, w-what are you saying exactly? I’m saying that whatever place I find, I want it to belong to both of us. What do you think that mom’s gonna do? I’ve been calling her. She’s not getting back to me. You would think she’d be in the suite or in the office at this time of day, right? Well, what’s the urgency? What, is this about the — the surprise that you planned? ‘Cause I heard it did not go very well. What’d your mom say? Nothing. Just, when I asked her about it, she said she didn’t want to talk about it, which, obviously, is not a good sign, so what — what happened? I screwed up, michael. And because of that, your mom’s hurt, she’s angry, and I just don’t want her to do something worse. Like what? Hire a divorce attorney. Divorce? You know what? I need to get to your mom, let her know that it’s too much too soon. We can get through this. Dad, last time I talked to mom, she didn’t say anything about a divorce. She said she needed some time to think. Right, but that was before she f-found me with nina.


nina: Hey, brook lynn, listen, do you want to maybe sit down for a second or have a drink of water?Yeah, I think that’s a great idea. No, I-I don’t want to sit down. I just — I-I want to get out of here. Where the hell is this elevator? It must’ve been excruciating, saying goodbye to bailey, especially with maxie missing. Yeah, I-I-I’m worried about maxie, okay? It was always the plan to give bailey back to her family, so we did it, right? So, yay, we should be celebrating. Brook lynn. Is this for real? I want to put this out there. If you need to talk to anyone, call me. Thank you. I-I don’t think that will be necessary.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Finally. I got this. Willow. Is something wrong with wiley? I miss jason so much, and if I’m feeling that way

[Sighs] I can’t imagine the pain you’re in. It’s a lot, you know? I mean, losing jason when I need him the most feels like a cruel joke. Well, you still have me. And that means everything. It does. But I don’t want you worrying about any of this. I want you focusing on your life at college and all the amazing experiences that come with that. I do. And we haven’t even got a chance to talk about what happened at the cabin and why you guys came back so early. Oh, well, that would be thanks to esme. Oh, my gosh. Are you serious? Sit down. Sit down. Oh, I’m super serious. Tell me, what did she do now? Oh, let’s see. She made hot toddies. She insisted we play the world’s most cringeworthy game of “never have I ever.” Okay. She manipulated trina, oh, and — and she, uh — she implied that trina and cameron were in love and that I stole him. Well, that’s a lot. It is a lot. I mean, I called her out on it and she called a car and she and spencer headed back to port charles that same night. Well, I’m sure it was a relief to have esme gone but a bummer that spencer had to leave. It is a bummer. Spencer…

[ Chuckles ] You know, he can be a bit of a pain, and he’s always been a little spoiled and entitled, but he has some really decent qualities, and he can be a really good friend, just not around her. He is so far under her thumb. I mean, it’s like the girl invented sex. It’s just really disappointing that he can’t see through her, and he falls for her games every time. I know what you mean. What was nina doing at the haunted star? I guess she was, you know, worried about me, so she wanted to see if I was okay. She couldn’t just, what, call you? She had to check on you in person?

[ Chuckles ] She showed up, michael, I was in a bad, bad way ’cause I thought your mother had given up on us, and then things happened. “Things”? Yeah, things. You want to clarify “things”? No, I — no, not really. Okay, so hold on. Let me get this straight here. So — so mom eventually did show up for your surprise, but it wasn’t the surprise that you planned. How could you do that to mom? Because I thought she was walking away from the marriage, michael. So you just turned around and had sex with somebody else? I didn’t meant to hurt your mom. How did you think that she’d feel? Do you think I wanted her to walk in on us together? It’s — it’s not bad enough that you cheated on mom. I mean, that’s disgusting. But to do it with nina, the woman who — who kept you from your family for months? It’s complicated. No, no, not really, dad. Yeah, it’s comp– no, no, no. Not really. Because you basically blew past your wedding vows without taking a backward glance to sleep with a woman who’s done nothing but lie to all of us. I mean, you make this big damn deal about loyalty, and — and you have sex with the woman who basically held you hostage. How could you be so stupid? Watch it! Yeah?! Or else what?! You’ve had quite a life so far, did you know that? Yes, because you come from a long line of adventurers, so that shouldn’t be a big surprise. And survivors. And, you know, there’s no greater survivor than your mommy. And your mommy’s gonna come back home soon, I promise you. But in the meantime, you have me, and you have grandpa mac.

[ Chuckles ] Mac: Felicia?

[ Chuckles ] Hi! Look who’s here. Hey. Look who’s been waiting for you. Do I get a smile? That is enough about esme. I’m worried about you, and I don’t want you to go through this alone, so please let me help you. You do help me. You do. I mean, whenever I’m having a hard time, all I have to do is see the woman you’ve become, and it makes me so proud. I mean, from a tiny ear of corn to this. Oh, my corn phase, I’ll never live it down. Nope, never, never. But adult or not, it’s not up to you to answer avery’s tough questions. I’m sorry. You’re not coming home any time soon, are you? My marriage to sonny is over.


I’m still your father. Show some respect. Like you showed mom respect? What do you want from me? A little bit of — a little bit of decency. That’d be nice. Okay, I’m gonna tell you what happened. I asked your mother to show up at the haunted star, and if she didn’t show up, that meant to me that she wanted out. And then kristina showed up and said to me… what? Kristina? …Carly’s not showing up. What do you mean? Kristina? It’s a long story. Okay, dad [Sighs] First of all, ultimatums — not romantic. T-that’s where we’re at, michael. What do you want — secondly, mom did show up. And third, even if she didn’t, even if she bailed on you completely, that does not give you the green light to sleep with somebody else. You know what, michael? This is between me and your mother. Yeah, and nina. And I got to stop your mother before she files for divorce. Dad, you know what? Honestly, she should file for divorce because you clearly chose nina over her. That is not what happened, michael. I need to find your mother. I can’t waste any more time here. The story I told you of willow’s birth was true. Just, you didn’t actually give birth. Joan gave birth on the commune. No doctors, no hospitals. Um, and since josiah didn’t recognize the authority of the U.S. Government, I mean, the thought of a birth certificate, to him, meant nothing. But what about you?

[ Sighs ] I didn’t care about that. I had this new… little life to nurture. Weren’t you worried that joan would come back and claim the baby? Yeah. Yeah, we thought about it all the time. We… first, it was just curiosity, but then that turned to dread. When douglas and i just fell more in love with the little girl, when willow was about 2, we couldn’t stand the thought of losing her. So, um, we left the commune. We left colorado all together. Never looked back. Well [Clears throat] That’s quite a story.

[ Sighs ] You think I’m awful. No, harmony, I don’t think you’re awful. I think there was an abandoned baby, and you and your husband loved her and you nurtured her, and, under those circumstances, it was understandable. Joan didn’t — didn’t tell you who the father was? And douglas went and paid the forger for the birth certificate, and then that was it. Willow was ours. But not in the eyes of the law. Willow: Wiley’s fine. Just here for my nursing class. Oh, yeah, of course. Silly me. I-I completely forgot. How — how’s it going? It must be quite a change going from teacher to student. There’s a lot less construction paper and glue, that’s for sure.

[ Chuckles ] Is something wrong? No, it’s just, I saw brook lynn and chase hand over bailey to felicia. Brook lynn, she plays it tough, but it must be killing her to say goodbye to that baby. There’s nothing harder. Of course. Well, I should — I should get to my class. Willow, wait. I’m sorry. Just — just one second. Um, we talked before about the possibility of me having a relationship with wiley if I kept the peace with me, sonny, and carly. That’s right. But what if there’s no chance of peace? Will I ever be able to see my grandson again? Dad and olivia must’ve straightened up. Yeah, that was nice of them. Yeah. Do you want to — pack your things? It’s a good idea. My things? Well, there’s no reason for us to be living together anymore, so soon you’ll be leaving, too, right? Can you believe she’s been underour noses this whole time?

[ Monitor beeping ] Maxie must’ve been going insane to be so close to her daughter and so far away at the same time. It just feels so wrong to be here like this without her. We’ll find maxie. I know we will. And peter will answer for everything that he’s done. What did sonny do? I’m not gonna get into details, okay? But let’s just say sonny showed me in no uncertain terms that our marriage means nothing to him. Does this have to do with nina? Something happened. Something happened with nina. My god. Did you see them together? You could say that. Were they…? Oh, mom.

[ Scoffs ] You’ve got to be kidding me. How — how could sonny do that? What a piece of — okay, josslyn — and nina, nina acting all contrite and innocent. My god, she’s a monster. She’s literally out to get our family. I know, and I’m never gonna underestimate nina ever again, but sonny is responsible for his actions. Yeah, of course he is.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Sighs ] Is that sonny? No, it’s michael.

[ Sighs ]

[ Knock on door ]


Can you understand why I didn’t tell willow that she wasn’t my daughter? I believe that, in your eyes and in your heart, you believed she was your daughter… regardless of biology or the law. If it was a legal adoption, that would be totally different. We would’ve had that discussion, but I just — I didn’t know how to explain it to her, and I didn’t want to lose her, which — which is ironic ’cause that’s exactly what happened. But you have a relationship with her now. Thankfully, yeah, and we’re starting to rebuild, but you know that it’s still fragile, and — and I’m just scared that this news will completely shatter it. Was douglas the one that bought the fake document, right? Yeah, we decided together, but he was the one who went and met with the forger. Does that matter? It may give us a little wiggle room. Really? You think willow doesn’t have to know? I didn’t say that. You’re kicking me out? Don’t be so dramatic. Then why would I leave? Look, we both know you’re only here for bailey. Oh, my god. Mr. Snuggles. How can I let her — we have to go to the hospital. Wait, wait, we don’t even know if they’re still there. Well, we have to try. Then let’s call felicia and just — we don’t want to waste a trip. Some mother I am, letting bailey go without her favorite toy. She must be feeling so scared. She must be so lost without her. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s gonna be okay. You’re gonna be — you’re gonna be okay. I don’t know how to do this, chase. Tell me how to do this. I wish I could. Shh.[ Louise crying ] Your mimi’s here, louise. Maybe she’s hungry. No, chase said she wouldn’t be. Not yet. Dirty diaper? I checked. Come on. Felicia, why don’t you take her home? No. A hospital’s not a restful place for anyone, especially a baby. It’s not about the hospital, mac. She doesn’t know us. As much as we love her, we’re strangers to her. She needs her mother. Or the closest thing to it. Can we talk, please? Can I call you later? Are you sure? I’m sure. And thank you for your support. I love you. I love you, too. If looks could kill. Can you blame her? You didn’t tell her? Did I tell my daughter that I saw you in bed with another woman? No, I didn’T. But josslyn figured it out, because unlike you, josslyn sees nina for the snake she is. Why are you here? To stop you from making a huge mistake. Are you asking me to move in to your place with you? As soon as I can find one. But, technically, it wouldn’t be my place. It would be our place. Our place. Yeah. Then maybe we could look for a place together. We could find a place that we both like, and then it would belong to both of us. So is that a yes to us moving in together? That’s a yes. That’s a definite yes.

[ Giggles ]


I’m so glad you were here and not across town or something. Yeah, me, too. You okay? No. Not really. The tension was unreal when sonny showed up. Yeah, no surprise there. Yeah, it was all I could do not to lose my mind on him. Sorry. No, no, no. Don’t apologize. I’m — I’m pissed at my dad, too. Oh, did sonny admit to you that he cheated on mom? Tried to justify it, of course. Right, the way he justifies nina letting us believe he was dead. How is this happening? Is sonny just a completely different person now? Completely? No. But — but his time in nixon falls really changed him. Well, not for the better. I mean, he and mom have split up before, yes, but this is different.

He is different. It’s like he doesn’t even care about mom’s feelings or what she’s been through, but he’s super worried about nina. I mean, he went from protecting her to sleeping with her. And nina, with all her fake remorse and wanting to make amends, which lasted right up until she got into bed with sonny. I mean…how could she? I don’t know, joss. Well, it doesn’t matter what she says or how many times she insists it’s not true. Nina wanted to tear our family apart. She wanted to take sonny away from mom, and she’s not gonna stop until she gets what she wants. It’s been painfully clear that carly and i can’t coexist peacefully, so I was just wondering, where does that leave us? Is there something that I can say or do to convince you to let me stay in wiley’s life despite that? Honestly, nina — because I-I don’t — I don’t really have much family, and — or children to speak of, so if I lose that piece of my life — I understand the importance of family. And I can tell that you do. And I’m not just saying that to win you over. I’m not. It’s obvious that you put a lot of thought into what’s best for wiley, because if you didn’t do that, you wouldn’t let me spend time with that little boy at all. Actually, it’s pretty simple. I just want my son to grow up never doubting that he’s loved. Be nice if we all had that, right? From what I gather, you had a pretty… unconventional childhood. Yeah, that’S… that’s putting it mildly. There were times that I — I felt so lost. And you would think that would get better as I got older, but…

[ Sighs ] Anyway, it is what it is, right? Yeah. When I was growing up, my mother was not the warmest person. She valued appearance over real feelings. If I didn’t have my brother, j, I would have felt very much alone. Well, for me, it wasn’t so much loneliness. In the commune, there were always people around. It was more that my mom was so wrapped up in the community she couldn’t be bothered with me. And when we were actually together, she was way more focused on me being a good follower. You know, she didn’t really know who I actually was. I hear you. My mother used to trot me out at parties like I was some kind of show dog. But if you asked her anything meaningful about me, like my hopes, my dreams, or just my favorite color, she wouldn’t know how to answer that. It’s really hard, isn’t it… …growing up with a mother who you think doesn’t care about you at all. And even harder when you know that you can’t trust her. Pushing me is a bad idea. I’m not — I’m not pushing. Can I — can I just talk to my wife? Don’t call me that. Don’t call me your wife. Carly, come on. No, you don’t treat me like a wife, so you don’t get to refer to me as one. Well…

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry that you found me with nina. I mean — but you’re not sorry that it happened. No, I’m sorry for all of it. Okay, I don’t want to talk about nina, so if we’re gonna talk about nina, I can’t do it. Okay, I just want to know what happens next. What do you mean next? With the day? You mean life? It’s divorce, sonny, come on. Really? That’s what you want. Yes.

[ Chuckles ] I think it’s a little late to, uh, care about my feelings, don’t you? I know that you’re angry — I’m beyond angry. I am furious, and I’m heartbroken, and I am disgusted, and all I want to do is hurt you the way you hurt me. Yeah, I understand that. You understand that. Well, thank you so much for understanding. Thank you. I appreciate that. So nothing I say can make this right? What are you doing here? What? You met with a divorce lawyer. Are you spying on me now? No, I’m not spying on you. You put it on the shared calendar.

[ Sighs ] So do me a favor, do not hire a lawyer. Let’s talk. No. We’re not gonna talk. Okay, maybe I’m not only crying over mr. Snuggles. Get out of here. I always knew she’d go back to her real mom. I mean, I know I’m not her real mom, obviously. Then why is this so hard? Because you may not be her real mom, but you were her mom in every way that counts. You — you love her. So much. It is really hard to say goodbye to somebody that you love. I don’t want to do that anymore. Then don’T.

[ Doorbell rings ]

[ Door opens ] Chase: Felicia.


There are other ways to acquire a birth certificate, other ways to show proof of — of identity for willow, but we are way beyond that right now. I know, I know. I just don’t want to imagine willow’s face when she realizes that I’ve lied to her again. We just started to get our groove back, you know? I get that. I treasure the bond I have with my daughters, but the way that I see it, you have two choices. Harmony, you either come clean with all of your lies and you ask willow for your forgiveness, or you continue to deceive her. No, I don’t want to do that. I didn’t think so. I just have this sinking feeling that willow is not gonna forgive me for this one. Alright, listen to me. Till now, you have been her mother. You have loved her. You’ve nurtured her. You’ve tried to protect her. Well, that last one is, uh — it’s very debatable. You’ve made some mistakes. Many. But you have turned your life around and you are trying to do better. Now, if that is still your intent… it is. …Then do what’s best for willow and tell her the truth. I’m sorry your relationship with your mother was so fraught. Yeah, me, too. It’d be nice to look to her as an example for how to best be a mom to wiley. Michael doesn’t get it. He’s so close to his mother, to both his parents. He doesn’t have the same doubts that I have. You don’t — you don’t need an example, willow. You’re a wonderful mother to wiley. So much so, I venture to say the example is you. Mac and I decided that, until maxie comes home, it would be best if louise was around the people that were familiar to her, namely the two of you. I-I don’t understand. Don’t you want her with you? Oh, yes, yes, I do. More than anything in the world. But this is not about me. This is about louise and what she needs, and, right now, I’m looking at it. I don’t know what to say. Thank you for having faith in us. Yeah, thank you so much. Thank maxie. She trusted you with her daughter, which means mac and I can do the same. Well, now it’s my turn to tell you, please come visit any time, really.

[ Voice breaking ] I’ll definitely come back. See you soon. Say bye-bye to mimi. Say bye-bye. See you soon. I love you. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye. Thank you. Bye. Bye. Hi. Oh, oh.

[ Door closes ]

[ Sighs ] Hey, bailey. Bailey. Have you been missing someone? Oh, reunited with mr. Snuggles at long last. Okay, it’s been like two hours. Like I said, at long last. Looks like I’ll be sticking around after all. I guess so. Wow. I-I can’t even believe this is actually happening.

[ Chuckling ] Oh, god. Curtis: Unless you’re already having second thoughts. No, no, this right here is the opposite. I feel like I’m — I feel like I’m dreaming. I really do. I feel like I’m gonna wake up in the on-call room and realize that none of this actually happened. No, baby, this is happening. We are moving in together just as soon as we can find a place. But why do we even need to wait? What you think about this? What do you think about moving into my place while we search together for our new place together? I think that sounds exactly right. Oh, what about trina? Is she gonna be okay with this? Trina wants us to be happy. And you know what? She’s beginning her own adult life. And in some ways, after solely focusing on raising her, I’m beginning mine again, too. And you’re sure you don’t feel like I’m rushing you into this? When something feels right, there’s no need to waste any time. So, that’s it? You say we’re done, we’re done? Pretty much. Can we just — if we just talk, carly, we can really work through this. There is nothing to talk about. You made your choices, so I get to make mine, and I just want this over with. I know what you walked in on hurt you, and I’m sorry. I don’t — stop saying you’re sorry. No, I didn’t — I don’t need to hear that. But I didn’t mean it like that, carly. Sonny… …it’s over. We’re over. Okay, I’m gonna — I’m gonna leave you alone… for now.

[Rattling]

[Exhaling]

[Groaning]

Deacon: Oh, man. Brother, you are a mess.

Sheila: Ouch. Ooh, that looks painful.

Deacon: Great.

[Scoffs]

Sheila: You either got a hit by a bus or somebody really, really doesn’t like you. So, which is it, deacon? Or do I even have to ask?

Brooke: I told ridge about everything that happened on new year’s eve. The kiss with deacon. Everything. And I told him I wouldn’t blame him if he walked away from me. But he didn’T. He told me that he loved me and that we would work through this.

Hope: Well, if you both want to, you will.

Brooke: If it ended there, but it didn’T.

Liam: ‘Cause ridge went after deacon.

Brooke: I was afraid that might happen. When I got to il giardino, though, they were there and they were fighting, they were hitting each other, and ridge kept hitting deacon over and over again. And I ran in and I yelled for him to stop. And I told him that deacon didn’t do anything. And ridge… ridge couldn’t believe that I was defending him. I think that I– I went too far. I made a terrible mistake.

Ridge: All right, you kids, I didn’t come over here to cause drama.

Thomas: No, you didn’T. You came over here to be with our family, where you belong.

Steffy: We know you’re hurt and you’re frustrated. But you came here ’cause you know that we hear you and we respect your feelings.

Taylor: No matter how complicated those feelings are.

Thomas: No, no, it’s not complicated. The reality is, is you know where you should be. And we don’t want you going back over there because of what brooke does. She manipulates you. You get caught in that same trap over and over again, so you need to stay here with our family.

[Glass crunching]

Deacon: Seemed like a good idea at the time. Ah, just be careful of all the glass.

[Glass crunching]

Sheila: So, what are you, running a fight club back here?

Deacon: I’m really not in the mood for jokes. Besides, it hurts too much to laugh.

Sheila: Well, it– it would appear your visitor bruised more than just your face. Am I right?

Deacon: I think the less I talk about this, the better, especially with you.

Sheila: Yeah, but you know what? I am a nurse. You should let me take a look at that–

Deacon: It’s– it’s– it’s okay, it’s okay. It’s nothing.

Sheila: Nothing? No. No, this is definitely something. What, did you run into ridge’s fist after he found out you spent the night with his wife?

Hope: Mom.

Liam: Hey, look. Ridge hasn’t had any time to cool off yet. Right? I mean, I’m sure after his scrap with deacon, he was really wound up.

Brooke: Yeah, yeah, he was. And the way he looked at me. He was in so much pain, like he just couldn’t take it anymore. And that’s exactly what he said. He said he can’t do this anymore. And now he’s not picking up his phone. I mean, I don’t know what to do. I need to talk to him. Why isn’t he taking my calls?

Thomas: All right, I’m gonna get you a new ice pack.

Taylor: Oh, that’s a good idea. You know, ridge, I understand that you lost your temper, but–

Ridge: Oh, no, but lo– I couldn’t get him. I had to do something because I know deacon did something to brooke that night, I know he did.

Steffy: No, no, no, no, no. Don’t make brooke out to be some kind of innocent victim. She wasn’T. And her reaction today proves that. Dad, come on.

Thomas: Steffy’s right. You said it yourself. She– she defended deacon.

[Ridge sighing]

Steffy: After everything that deacon has done, brooke sided with him, not you. You let her off the hook with that kiss. Letting deacon stay in your bed. And she thanks you by telling you to leave deacon alone? Dad, this is too much. If brooke can’t even give you the smallest amount of respect, she doesn’t deserve a life with you.

[Sheila laughing]

Sheila: Look at that. Oh…

Deacon: What, you don’t believe me?

Sheila: What, that you took it easy on ridge?

Deacon: I could’ve annihilated him if I wanted to.

Sheila: Yeah, well, then why didn’t you?

[Both grunting and groaning]

Deacon: Ah! Come on.

Brooke: Ridge! Ridge!

[Deacon grunting]

Brooke: Oh, my god, ridge!

What are you doing?

Stop it! Stop it!

Deacon: Restrained myself for brooke.

Sheila: Oh. Deacon sharp, the peacemaker.

Deacon: Sometimes the best thing a fighter can do is not fight.

Sheila: Yeah, but you know what? You had the chance to– to knock ridge down a peg and– and show him who the alpha dog, was and you didn’t take it.

Deacon: There’s a– a technique in martial arts where you use your opponent’s momentum against them. You let them defeat themselves.

Sheila: Oh, okay.

Deacon: Ow.

Sheila: Well, you’re such a big winner. Where’s brooke now?

Deacon: I don’t know.

Sheila: Probably with ridge.

Deacon: I said I don’t know. But she was here, and when she saw what ridge was doing, she defended me. Ridge: I’m not making excuses for brooke.

Steffy: Because she doesn’t have any left.

Thomas: Yeah, she used them all up.

Taylor: Well, your father isn’t happy with the way she reacted, so…

Steffy: Brooke betrayed him.

Taylor: Steffy–

Steffy: No, it– it’s more than that. Okay, she didn’t rush into deacon’s arms, but she took his side. She made dad out to be a bad guy.

Taylor: Well, you know, one thing I– I do know is that violence isn’t an answer. It never solves anything.

Steffy: Neither is forgiving brooke over and over again.

Taylor: All right, you’ve made your feelings very clear. But this is– this is your father’s life. These are his choices.

[Hayes fussing] I’m–

Steffy: Hayes is awake.

Taylor: Yeah, I’m gonna– I’m gonna get…

[Door opening]

Steffy: Mom doesn’t want to be in the middle of this.

Ridge: ‘Cause she understands I have to do this on my own.

Thomas: But you don’t, ’cause you can do it with your family. Okay? We’re here for you. We’re not judging you.

Steffy: We can see how unhappy you are. And it’s infuriating because it doesn’t have to be this way. Yes, you love her. We’ve accepted that. But you need to accept that she’s never gonna change. She’s never gonna commit herself to you the way mom could.

Brooke: He’s still not answering. Ridge. Please call me back. I love you and I am sorry. And we really need to talk about this and get past this. Please.

[Sighing]

[Hanging up phone] Oh, god, this isn’t working.

[Sighing] He’s not taking my calls. And I’m not going to just sit here and risk losing the man that I love.

Liam: What do you– broo– hey, brooke? What are you–

Hope: Mom, where– where are you going?

Brooke: I’m going to find ridge. And I’m pretty sure I know where to look.

Sheila: I hope you don’t think that brooke was impressed by your caveman antics, because getting into a fistfight, that is not a romantic gesture, that is a red flag.

Deacon: You’re right. Brooke didn’t like iT. As a matter of fact…

[Deacon groaning] … Brooke didn’t like it at all. Yeah. When she came in and saw what was happening with ridge, she yelled at him to stop. Said that wasn’t my fault, that I didn’t do anything.

Sheila: What, she yelled at ridge?

Deacon: Yeah, she practically had to pull him off me.

Sheila: Oh, now that is an image! Brooke coming to your rescue? I– ridge must have exploded.

Brooke: He was furious. Yeah, then he tried to pin everything on me. Everything from, you know, new year’s eve, the kiss, her drinking. You know, he actually said that I violated her, that I lured her up into their bed. But, you know, brooke, she shut him down. She said that if anyone was to blame, it was her.

Sheila: Oh, and how did that go over?

Deacon: Well, you know, the guy’s a textbook egomaniac. You know, he made it all about him. You know, said that brooke wasn’t loyal, said that she chose me over him. All because she wouldn’t go along with his lies.

Sheila: She really is such an angel. But I certainly don’t see her here patching you up.

Deacon: Nah, she went– she went after him.

Sheila: Went after him?

Deacon: He was angry. He walked out on her.

Ridge: I love how much you kids care about me.

Steffy: Mom cares, too.

Thomas: Yeah, but she’s not gonna come down on brooke. She’s got too much class for that.

Steffy: Yeah, she’s not gonna tell you what to do about your marriage.

Thomas: Though we all know what you should do. I mean, it’s pretty obvious, come on. There’s a reason that you came here right now and you didn’t go home with her. Because you know that her promises don’t mean a damn thing, and I know that sounds really harsh. It does. I don’t want to be the one saying this. Brooke I– is– is a huge part of douglas’ life, and she’s also– she’s hope’s mother. But… she’s hurting you. And I don’t like seeing that. And I don’t understand why you can’t see that there is someone in the other room right now that would never, ever betray you the way that brooke has.

Steffy: Defending deacon? This is what brooke’s been doing since he came here. Ignoring your warnings, your concerns.

Thomas: Steffy’s right. She does, she ignores your warnings, she ignores your concerns. I– it’s– it’s never gonna stop. Do you know what? I feel like I’ve said my piece and I– I don’t need to speak for steffy. I’m just gonna get some fresh air. Okay?

Ridge: What about you? Need some fresh air as well, or?

Steffy: You’re not getting off that easy. You heard from thomas. Now you’re gonna hear from me.

Hope: Ridge has walked out before, but he always comes back.

Liam: Yeah, well… it’s kind of how destiny works, isn’t it? No matter what.

Hope: My mom is right about one thing, though.

Liam: Mm?

Hope: This is not going to be solved via text message or a phone call. They actually need to sit down with each other and look– look each other in the eyes and–

Liam: Yeah.

Hope: Hopefully, ridge will see that she’s sorry. That she wasn’t choosing deacon over him, that– that she saw them fighting and wanted it to stop.

Liam: Yeah, that’s a– he has to understand that. She’ll make him understand it.

Hope: Yeah. I just– I don’t know how I feel about my mom going over to steffy’S. I’m sure ridge is there, but I don’t know what else she’s walking into.

[Vehicle approaching]

[Engine shutting off]

[Car door shutting]

[Footsteps approaching]

Brooke: Thomas. Is your dad here?

Thomas: Why?

Brooke: I– I don’t have time to explain. I just need to see him right away.

Thomas: He doesn’t need to see you.

Liam: So… what do we do now? I mean, we just head back to the cabin?

Hope: No, I– I want to be here for my mom if she can’t find ridge.

Liam: Hey. She’ll find him. And it’s gonna be okay. Your mom walked in on ridge beating up your father, right? Like, she– she freaked out like any rational person would, and she’ll explain that to him.

Hope: Well, the sooner she does that, the better. I can’t stop thinking about those things steffy said to me. About where ridge belongs and who he should love and be with and–

Liam: Yeah, that’S…

Hope: I just hope he remembers how much he loves my mom.

Brooke: I see your father’s car right there.

Thomas: Yeah, he’s here, but you shouldn’t be.

Brooke: I need to speak to him.

Thomas: Not right now. Just go home. Wait for him there.

Brooke: Thomas, I can’T. This is too important.

Thomas: If dad wanted to see you, then he would’ve come to your house. But he didn’T. He came here to be with me, steffy and our family.

Brooke: Oh, my god, what are you doing? I really need to talk to ridge. There’s something I need to discuss with him. So, please get out of my way–

Thomas: It’ll have to be another time and another place. I’m not letting you anywhere near my father right now.

[Gasping]

Ridge: All right. Here we go. I know what you’re gonna say.

Steffy: I said all of this even before mom came back.

Ridge: And I realize your mom coming here has brought out a lot of emotions and feelings for you and your brother. That has nothing to do with my situation with brooke.

Steffy: But dad, you don’t need to be in this situation. You don’t need to keep repeating the cycle. Like, aren’t you tired? Aren’t you tired of the lies and the secrets, always sacrificing your happiness for hers?

Ridge: That’s not what I’m doing.

Steffy: That’s what it looks like. That’s why thomas stormed out of here. He’s done watching you absolve brooke. Not after all of the infidelity and the indiscretion. Like, please tell me your eyes are finally open and you see brooke for who she truly iS. She’s a serial cheater, dad. She’s never kept her vows to you. She’s had her head turned by… your brother. And your father, bill, so many other enemies. She never puts you first. I mean, how many times do I have to say it? You’ve warned her to stay away from deacon and she ends up kissing him, and then she wakes up next to him–

Ridge: All right, I know–

Steffy: — In your bed!

Ridge: I know what happened.

Steffy: Ugh.

Ridge: And I get that you’re angry and you’re frustrated. And I am, too.

Steffy: I’m angry and frustrated with you. Because when– when are you gonna get off this merry-go-round? You just bend over backwards for the logans, you do everything that they want, even if it makes you miserable. Somebody has to say it, dad. Someone’s going to say it. Brooke’s never gonna be– she’s never gonna commit herself to you. She’s never gonna be loyal to you. Not the way mom could be. Mom tried to find happiness without you, and she did. She threw herself into work, and I’m really proud of her for that. But what about you? What are you doing to make yourself happy? Because whatever’s happening with brooke, it clearly isn’t working. So, what the hell are you doing, dad? This is–

Taylor: Steffy! Your father isn’t doing any of this to hurt you. He loves you and your brother so much.

Steffy: Well, mom, he needs to hear this.

[Taylor scoffing] Dad, mom is an amazing person and she loves you. How do you not realize that? How do you keep rejecting someone who is so loving? You just keep choosing brooke over her!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: I swear, thomas, if dad stays with that woman, I don’t know…

Thomas: I don’t see how he could. I mean, we’re talking about his wife and deacon sharpe boozing it up and making out.

Steffy: It’s worse than that. That loser spent the night in dad’s bed with dad’s wife.

Thomas: Right? But they were, uh, “fully clothed and it was over the sheets”, like that excuses anything.

Steffy: Apparently, it does for hope, making every excuse imaginable for what brooke did that night.

Thomas: I’m guessing you gave hope a firm talking to about this whole thing?

Steffy: I did. Just like how mom undoubtedly did with brooke.

Thomas: Speaking of which, shouldn’t we have heard from mom by now?

Steffy: I think mom and dad are together. They have to be. I’m sure dad confronted brooke–

Thomas: Maybe not.

Steffy: Mom. Mom, what– what? What happened?

Thomas: What’s going on?

Steffy: What’s going on with dad?

Thomas: Is dad okay?

Steffy: What happened with dad and brooke?

Taylor: Let me get a word in.

Thomas: We just want to know what’s going on.

Taylor: I know.

Steffy: Yeah. Is it over with dad and brooke?

Taylor: Not according to brooke.

Thomas: What?

Steffy: What?

Taylor: Yes. Not only is she confident that she and ridge will get past what she did with deacon… she also claims that your father professed his undying love to her.

Hope: I still can’t believe taylor went and told ridge everything before my mom even had a chance to. You know, if she had just stayed out of it and steffy too, the–

Liam: Well, what did– what did steffy say exactly?

Hope: Well, for starters, she’s basically rooting for my mother’s marriage to end.

Liam: You know, we don’t know that it has ended.

Hope: I still haven’t heard from her and I’m worried because I’ve tried texting, I’ve called, I’ve left voicemail–

Liam: Okay, but– but just try not to go there right now because your mom and ridge have overcome challenge after challenge after challenge in their relationship. There’s no reason to think they can’t overcome this too.

Hope: Well, I hope you’re right. At least for my mom’s sake. I think I should try calling– mom. Oh, my gosh, I’ve been so worried. You okay? What is it? Mom. What happened?

Steffy: No, no, brooke is just saying that to you–

Taylor: Honey, we knew your father was gonna have a difficult time with this.

Steffy: Yeah, but he can’t ignore what happened with brooke and deacon that night.

Thomas: I think steffy’s right. Brooke’s gotta be lying. It doesn’t really make sense. Okay, so she cheats on dad and then he professes his undying love for her?

Taylor: I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know. But, I don’t think she was lying to me. What’s the point?

Thomas: Uh, to save face in front of you?

Steffy: Keep from admitting that she lost dad for good this time.

Taylor: Only she hasn’t lost him.

Steffy: But we don’t know that yet. Not ’til we talk to dad. Then, we’ll figure out everything. Dad. Oh, my goodness.

Thomas: What the hell happened to your face?

Taylor: Who did this to you?

Ridge: It’s not as bad as it looks–

Steffy: It was deacon, wasn’t it?

Thomas: Oh, you went after him for sleeping with your wife.

Ridge: He didn’t sleep with my wife the way you mean. But yeah, he got what was coming to him.

Steffy: What about brooke? Did she get what was coming to her after deceiving you with deacon? The lies, the secrets, telling a little boy to keep quiet? And, despite all of that, you told her that you love her?

Steffy: How could you do that?

Hope: Did you talk to ridge?

Liam: Because we know you were planning to?

Brooke: Yes.

Hope: So, yes, you did talk to him or yes, you were able to tell him the truth?

Brooke: Yes, I did talk to him and I told him the truth. But, I think I was too late because apparently ridge learned about deacon and me through a taylor.

Hope: Uh, yeah, we– or, I know.

Brooke: You know?

Hope: Yes, steffy told me.

Brooke: Oh, of course. Yeah. I’m sure she was thrilled to spread the news.

Hope: Well, um, did ridge at least listen to your side of things?

Brooke: Yes, he most certainly did. Though, I’m not sure that it makes much of a difference now.

Ridge: Okay. Here we go.

Taylor: Here you go. Put this on.

Ridge: Ah, it’s not necessary–

Taylor: Yeah, it is.

Thomas: You look like hell.

Ridge: Yeah, you should see the other guy.

Thomas: Ha.

Steffy: Deacon deserved it after what he and brooke did.

Taylor: You know, steffy, just call finn, maybe, and see if he can come by–

Ridge: Oh, stop. Leave him at the hospital.

Steffy: Dad, no–

Ridge: Honestly, stop.

Taylor: You stop.

Ridge: No, no, I’m fine. It’s not necessary to push him to come over here.

Steffy: What?

Thomas: Why not?

Ridge: Because the kids don’t need to see me like this.

Steffy: No, kelly’s out. And hayes is sleeping. It’s okay.

Thomas: So, deacon got what was coming to him, right?

Steffy: Like brooke? Because it’s not all deacon. Brooke’s responsible, too.

Thomas: You can’t let her get away with this, dad.

Steffy: Do not let brooke get away with this. This is the sound of nature breathing.

Ridge: You chose deacon

over me.

Brooke: No, no, I–

I didn’t do that. No.

Ridge: I told you

he was gonna put a wedge

between us.

I told you he was going

to ruin everything.

And you invited him

into our house.

Into our bed, logan.

Our bed.

I love you so much.

But, I’m tired. I can’t–

I can’t do this anymore.

Hope: I know taylor got to ridge first, which was not her place but once you were finally able to talk to ridge and tell him your side of things, was he able to understand and forgive you?

Brooke: It’s just heartbreaking, seeing how much I hurt him. How much I let him down.

Hope: But you didn’t mean to, mom. You would never knowingly cause ridge pain.

Liam: Yeah, ridge has to realize that. He knows what’s in your heart, the– the love you have for him.

Hope: And, his love for you. He’s never stopped loving you, mom and your love has been tested over the years. And yet, it still remains.

Brooke: I know. I do. Ridge was very protective of me. He said, well, he insisted, that deacon spiked my drink somehow, got me drunk, but that isn’t what happened, honey. I drank on my own and deacon tried to stop me.

Hope: And were you able to tell ridge that?

Brooke: Yes. But, I still don’t understand what gave me that urge to drink in the first place.

Liam: Hey brooke, that’s an answer you may never get, but from how it sounds, ridge understands that the reason you weren’t yourself that night is because of alcohol.

Brooke: I just really thought that we were going to work through this.

Hope: “Thought”? Mom, what do you mean, “thought”?

Steffy: Brooke betrayed you. Not just with anyone, with deacon. You have to hold her accountable.

Thomas: She’s been doing things like this for so long. It’s gotta stop.

Steffy: She needs to understand that she can never do that to you again.

Thomas: Let what brooke did with deacon be the final straw.

Taylor: Okay, guys– listen. Both of you. We’re all going through a lot right now, but you’re really putting your father on the spot.

Steffy: We’re tired of brooke sticking it to him!

Thomas: Yeah, and we’ve watched it happen repeatedly. Enough, already–

Ridge: I heard you, both of you!

Taylor: This is a lot for your dad to process.

Thomas: What does he have to process?

Steffy: We don’t want dad to go through this again.

Thomas: And, he will go through this again with brooke because she never learns.

Steffy: No, she doesn’T. He already warned her to stay away from deacon and she didn’t listen. The moment you turned away, she was kissing him. She slept in your bed with deacon, the man that you despise.

Taylor: Okay, okay, just give him some time. Okay, please. This is a lot. Plus, he just got in a fight with deacon.

Ridge: I still think he did something to make her drink.

Thomas: Okay, let’s say he did. That doesn’t absolve brooke of anything.

Steffy: Mom talked to brooke. Brooke gave her the impression that you forgave her. I–I don’t care what excuses she had or how hard she threw deacon under the bus, but–

Ridge: She didn’t throw him under the bus. She was making sure he was okay. She was defending him. Goal!

Brooke: Ridge was furious with deacon. He thought that I had been victimized, that he orchestrated this whole night and he got me drunk. And then, he just left. He said he needed some fresh air. Then, taylor stopped by. She wanted to tell me that she knew what happened between me and deacon that night. Which I was already aware of because she told ridge.

Hope: So, in other words, she came by to gloat.

Liam: Yeah.

Brooke: Yeah, it certainly seemed that way. She was trying to act professional. She made it very clear that she believes that I drank in order, “to give myself permission,” to be with deacon, which isn’t true at all.

Hope: Of course it’s not. Did you tell her that?

Brooke: Yes, I did. But at that point, I was so worried about ridge and if he went to see your father. Made me nervous, so I ran out of here and I went to il giardino.

Liam: Did you find ridge with deacon?

Brooke: Yes, I did. It was horrible. They were there. They were both bloody, they were fighting.

Liam: What?

Briijel ridge was punching him over and over again.

Hope: Oh, my god.

Brooke: I know, I ran in there and I pulled them apart. I told ridge to stop it, that deacon didn’t do anything wrong. I did. And, he just stopped and looked at me. And he couldn’t believe that I was defending deacon. And at that moment, everything just…shifted.

Hope: Shifted how?

Brooke: Ugh. He told me that he believed me, you know, when that happened with bill, that something like that would never happen again. And yet, there it is. I did the same thing.

Hope: Mom. Hey.

Brooke: But he loves me, honey. I know he does. He told me he loves me. But, then he told me he– he couldn’t take it anymore. And he turned around and he walked out that door. And– I’m just afraid that I may have lost my soulmate forever.

Steffy: Brooke actually defended deacon to you?

Ridge: Yeah. And I don’t get it, after everything this bastard’s done to her. And now, she expects me to–

Thomas: Just forgive and forget? That’s classic brooke logan. She breaks your trust and then she turns on the waterworks.

Steffy: And tells you that you two are destiny and you forgive her, like you always do.

Ridge: Well, this time’s different.

Taylor: How is it different?

Ridge: It’s different because I can’t do this anymore. First, it’s spencer and now deacon. It’s too much.

Thomas: You’re damn right it’s too much. It’s a never ending cycle with that woman. Enough is enough.

Steffy: I agree, dad. I know it’s hard walking away from your marriage but–

Taylor: He didn’t say he was walking away from his marriage.

Steffy: Well, did you? Did you end it with brooke?

Ridge: I had to.

Steffy: Oh, dad. I’m sorry that brooke did this to you. But, maybe it’s good to finally be free of her, free of all of brooke’s toxicity and drama. It’s really nice to know that you came here, home to your family, the people who love you and who would never let you down.

Unleash the freshness…

Liam: Hey, brooke. Ridge is upset. He’s angry… right now, but he’s going to cool off.

Hope: We know you’re scared, mom. But if this is something that you want, you can’t give up.

Brooke: I’m not gonna give up on us. I will never give up on ridge and me. But you know what, you’re right. I am scared. Because when he walked out, it seemed like it was over. And, it can’t be, honey. It can’t be over.

Liam: Where did he go when he left il giardino? Do you know?

Hope: Pretty safe bet that he went to his other family.

Liam: Oh…

Brooke: I know he needed some time, but if he did go see steffy, thomas and taylor, they’re going to just pile on. I really need to speak with ridge.

Taylor: Steffy, your father knows that he can depend on us, that we’ll be here for him whenever we can.

Thomas: Unlike brooke, who only thinks about herself and her needs.

Ridge: Okay.

Steffy: Another man and another conquest.

Thomas: She loves that. She loves being pursued, worshipped even. It’s not enough for her to have a man who’s devoted to her. Nope.

Steffy: Dad, you stood by brooke for so much, for so many years and this is how she repays you? By sharing a bed, your bed, with the man who got her pregnant while he was married to her daughter. This is the man that you can’t stand. But did that stop her from bringing deacon back into your life, into her life? Of course not! Because brooke logan plays by her own rules. To hell with who she hurts, including you.

Taylor: Steffy.

Steffy: You see that now, right? You see that it’s never gonna be different. Brooke is never going to be different, dad. How can you live this way? You need to let go of brooke, let go of all the scandals and the heartache. Come back to us.

[ Phone beeping ]

Brooke: Ridge, I’m sorry, I am. I love you so much and I refuse to give up on us and our life together so please just, just call me back. We need to talk.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Steffy: This is where you’re cherished, respected. This is your family. Let us be here for you. Let us be the family that you need. Please, dad. Please come home to us.

Interview with Javicia Leslie, Meagan Tandy, Billy Gardell, Folake Olowofoyeku and Clayton Echard

TV Interview!

Warner Bros. TCA panel with actors from "Batwoman," "The Bachelor" and "Bob Hearts Abishola"

Interview with Warner Bros. actors by Suzanne 2/14/22

This was a fun panel for TCA (Television Critics Association) put on by Warner Brothers. I enjoyed the one they did last year, so I knew I would love this one, too. They didn’t disappoint.  Last year’s was about comedy, and this year’s was about romance (since it was held on Valentine’s Day). It was called “With Love, Warner Bros. Television Group” and featured some of their best romances from their current shows: Javicia Leslie (Ryan Wilder) & Meagan Tandy (Sophie Moore) from Batwoman, Billy Gardell (Bob) & Folake Olowofoyeku (Abishola) from Bob  Abishola, and Clayton Echard from The Bachelor.

I never miss an episode of “Batwoman” or “Bob Abishola,” so it was great to see the actors here. I’ve spoken with Javicia before, but it was great to see Meagan Tandy as well. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to ask a question this time around, but I enjoyed being there.

First, Javicia and Meagan were asked if they feel any special responsibility, since they’re the “first black lesbian leading couple on a superhero show.” Javicia answered that the whole show was a huge responsibility and featured many firsts. They make sure that they present themselves in a good way, both on- and off-camera, especially since their audience includes many children. It’s important to them to show a positive representation. Meagan agreed with that. She realized, after talking with teens, that having LGBTQ and black women on their show is a lot bigger than just the actors. She tries to tell the stories as authentically as she can. She was also asked about going from loving Kate to being with Ryan. She admitted that it was a “love rollercoaster” for Sophie, since she was married to man and in the closet in the first season. Then she had to deal with her feelings for Kate, and then all that happened with Kate leaving, and then Ryan coming into the picture. She said that it was “quite the journey for her,” but it’s been fun for her as an actor.

Javicia was asked whether she had been more concerned beforehand about taking over the physical part of playing Batwoman, or the emotional parts (with all of her family and romantic relationships). Javicia said she was most worried about whether the fans would approve of her or not, since she’s a superhero fan herself and loves “Batman.” She wasn’t worried about the physicality because she had done martial arts before, which is fun. She’s a dramatic actor, so she loves crying and all that. She loves that there are many fans of the show who love “Batwoman,” even if they may have lost some comic fans who don’t like that it’s not the Batman or Batwoman that they knew from the comics. She’s proud to be a part of this “new representation.” She tweets with her fans all the time, and they make it worth while for her. She’s “honored” to be a part of the show’s fanbase.

All of the actors were asked, which TV shows they used to watch that taught them “the most about love and how it gave you more perspective.”

Ryan and Sophie kissing on "Batwoman"Javicia spoke about the show “Martin” and how the characters Martin and Gina teased each other. It showed her that you need to have friendship and laughter in a relationship. She also mentioned watching the show “Family Matters” and other shows from that time.

Meagan said that she watched those shows, too, but her favorite was “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” because it was about a whole family’s love for each other, not just a couple. Her friends all loved the Disney movies with princess, which she didn’t like. Now they tease her because she’s in her 30’s and not married, but she has a boyfriend, so she hopes they’ll make it work. Javicia spoke encouraging to her about her boyfriend, saying, “Y’all will,” which was very cute. Then Meagan replied, “We’ll see where he takes me to dinner tonight,” and everyone laughed.

Meagan was asked about Sophie falling for two Batwomen and whether that’s her “type,” and also whether she’ll be talking to the writers about suiting up, like everyone else has. Meagan chattered about how originally she wasn’t going to be with Ryan, but then they changed their minds. Also, she was with Julia, who had also dressed like Batwoman, so it was really three Batwomans that Sophie was with. She joked about it, saying she probably has a bit of a fetish. She said that she doesn’t know about getting any kind of superhero suit. She was wearing the Crows uniform, but now that’s gone. She finished with, “So, for now, it’s just the suit of love,” which made everyone laugh.

Javicia and Meagan were asked what they thought people loved about superheroes – is it the need to be protected, or the need to be strong? Why do we fall in love with them? Javicia thinks that her partner is a superhero because a great partner puts your needs before their own, which is “attractive” and “sexy.” So is maybe having kids one day. She thinks that having a person out there saving everyone and helping people makes them attractive and you feel protected and it “just feels like home.” She said it seems to be the same kind of theme with all of them. Meagan agreed with that. She also observed that previous Batman actors were always portrayed by someone “who was really hot,” which made her desire them a bit. She also said that having a protector who is kind and honest, who wants to save people and “doing bigger work than themselves.” She hopes that might inspire people to be like that. Then there’s the fantasy aspect of having a super suit that keeps them protected.

Billy was asked about his Ozempic commercial and whether it was made, in part, to advertise his show. Billy seemed a bit taken aback by the question. It was a very odd question. Billy told us honestly that he didn’t do the commercial for that reason. He had developed Type 2 diabetes, and he had been on a medication that helped him. They asked him to try their medication, so he did, and he waited a year to make sure it worked before he agreed to do the commercial. It helped him get healthier, and not he doesn’t have to take ANY medication. He was able to “turn the corner,” thanks to the medication and being on the right track. He figured he would do the commercial to help others who might need help as well. He just wanted to hold himself accountable to it. He added, “I had to take that journey.” The journalist who asked that question told him that he did look great (and he does!).

Billy and Folake were asked about the possibility of their characters having a baby together on the show. Billy talked in general about how you have to have the discussion with your partner in marriage about whether you’re going to have children, and when, and that the relationships evolve and change. He said that their ages might be factor, and they might have to discuss that. He gave the example of whether Bob would be asking Abishola, “are you gonna be changing my diaper and the baby’s diaper?” Everyone laughed at that. He then praised the show, saying that “it’s never preachy.” It’s just two people in love and trying to do the best they can to be open and honest with each other, to be a strong couple. He told us that he’s been married for 22 years in real life. Folake talked about how much she has enjoyed the season, especially when they went to Nigeria. She says she watches those scenes over and over and loves how they were able to “share a Yoruba wedding with the world.” She also previewed that there are some good scenes coming “with the entire cast.” They’re going to have “a sock commercial,” which will be “really entertaining.” Neither of them really answered much about the baby plot point. They were obviously trying not to share any spoilers.

It was interesting to hear Folake’s real accent. She’s from Nigeria, but she went to boarding school, so she doesn’t have nearly as much of an accent as Abishola does.

In answer to the TV question, Billy talked about how much he loved “The Honeymooners” growing up, which his dad shared with him. He said that at the end of the day, Ralph knew that no matter how much he had messed up, his wife loved him, which made him a little bit more humble. He thinks that’s still a great message. Folake said that she used to watch Spanish telenovelas with the other girls at school, so that’s where she got most of her TV love experience.

Bob and Abishola kissing at their wedding on "Bob Hearts Abishola"They were each asked what they liked best about their real-life “sweethearts”. Folake replied that hers are her cats, which are named Bob and Abishola! She said, “They’re very adventurous and they can take on coyotes!” Billy said that he likes best about his wife that she stays with him. He went on a bit about how great she is: “She’s an amazing woman, and she has always been my rock.” He says that you should always do whatever your wife says. (As a wife, I agree with that)

They were also asked if they were surprised that the show has been embraced so well, given America’s problems with race. Billy said that he wasn’t surprised because the show is about love, and “love is always the secret sauce.” He said it so beautifully, that the audience knows it’s about love, and how the two love each other but have crazy families, and the show is also about how these families merge and can look past their differences. He stated, “it’s the common thread that we all share. In this world, all anybody wants is someone to love, somewhere to live, and a way to pay for that. If you keep it that simple I think people identify with it.”

Folake agreed that the show is all about love, which is what we all want. She also added that it was always going to be successful because it has Chuck Lorre in charge, and his whole production team that is so well-run. She finished with, “everyone is on their A-game, myself included, because we want to live up to that standard.” Billy agreed to that, too. She says it’s not surprising at all, and she thinks it has effects worldwide. It does very well in Africa and India.

Billy was also asked how much weight he’s loss, and he told us that he’s lost 102 pounds. It really does show. He joked that he would like to go on “The Bachelor” next year.

Folake also added her own comments in to the question about why we like superheroes so much. She thinks that is makes a great escape for viewers to just imagine being in that world. She also complimented the show, saying “this generation of Batwoman is like literally the Batwoman of my dreams. I wish I grew up on this shit. I wish I was a kid growing up watching you guys. It is so awesome. You guys are doing a great job.”

Billy loves the superhero stuff and sharing it with his son. He thinks there’s a “hopefulness with it, and I think that’s what superheroes give you, and it’s the feeling of safety. You feel like, wow, I wish someone was out there looking out for us like that.” He also agrees that it’s a way for people to escape, like Folake said.

Clayton was asked how he’s celebrating Valentine’s Day this year (even though he can’t tell us with whom he’s celebrating). He was also asked whether the show helped him with his holiday plans or if they hindered them. Clayton answered that he was recovering today from a “really fun weekend,” so he was drinking a lot of water and trying to save his voice, which was “a little shot.” He said that the dates on the show were “incredible” and he certainly did some things that set the bar very high, but of course he has to be realistic in the future (and on his own budget).

Clayton was also asked about what he learned with being on the show, especially about dating, relationships and what he might not have been doing before. Clayton gave the question some thought before answering. He admitted that he learned a lot, and watching it now on TV has also taught him a lot. He said that learning how to “pick up on body cues” was something that he had previously missed because there is a lot you can miss if you only pay attention to verbal cues. He added that he’s learning more about himself and “how to be a better person” so that he do better in the future.

Clayton replied to the question about TV shows to say that “Spongebob Squarepants” was the one that showed him the most about love. He enjoyed the friendship between Spongebob and Patrick. It showed him that “good friends stand by each other.” He said that we all want that love from both friends and family. Meagan agreed with him about it, saying she watched that show, too.

Clayton also answered about the superheroes. He said that “we’re all dreamers in some aspect, and so as kids we’re told to dream big. And that’s where these superhero movies really allow us to – as we grow up on them, watching them fight and all that – see their super powers. We hope, as we’re kids, to be able to have those same super powers.” We know that we can’t really be that way, but when we’re grownups, we remember that time, back when we were kids and thought we could be Batman or Superman.

Clayton Echard

The Bachelor
DOB : April 29th – St. Louis, Missouri

Clayton Echard, who was first introduced as one of Michelle Young’s suitors in season 18 of “The Bachelorette,” not only connects romantically with the captivating Minneapolis school teacher but is also a favorite of Michelle’s middle school students. Ultimately, however, Michelle sends Clayton home, leading to one of the most emotional and heart-wrenching moments in “Bachelor” history. In that one touching moment, Clayton’s genuine desire to find a partner and start a family shines through, and never has it been so evident that one man deserves a second chance at finding that great love.

Nicknamed “Claynos” by his friends in the house due partly to his sculpted physique, Clayton grows stronger with every rose, opening himself up to Michelle in ways he never thought possible. This Midwestern man proves he is so much more than just a good-looking guy with a rock-hard bod. He’s a throwback romantic who’s not afraid to put himself out there for love.

Devon: Hey.

Billy: Hey. Thank you for making this happen so early.

Devon: Absolutely. Absolutely. It all worked out well, given how iffy my day is going.

Billy: Yeah, I’m sure it’s a stressful time. Have you heard anything about what’s causing dom’s symptoms?

Devon: I have not. I have not. It’s not easy.

Billy: No, it’s not. I remember when delia had leukemia. We were looking for a bone marrow donor.

Devon: I forgot that you went through that at all.

Billy: Yeah. You know, it was a long time ago, but the memories are still very much vivid.

Devon: I can imagine. Getting together yesterday and talking about lily’s idea helped occupy my mind for a little bit, but just so you know, if abby or chance or the hospital calls, i might need to cut this meeting short.

Billy: Absolutely. What do you say we dive in?

Devon: Yes, please. Let’s do it.

Billy: Okay, so I put together a little something here. Take a look.

Devon: Oh, wow.

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: Goodness, man, you — it’s color-coded.

Billy: Yeah.

Devon: Look at that. You were not joking when you said you were thinking big.

Billy: Well, you know what? I woke up in the middle of the night, and I had a few ideas i wanted to jot down before they disappeared, and then everything else kind of kept flowing, so —

Devon: Hang on a second, you did this last night?

Billy: Yeah, pretty much.

Devon: So you were up late last night, the night before that, and two nights ago? Do you ever sleep?

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Lily: When I saw this, i couldn’t resist.

Amanda: Oh, “jazz baby.” That is the cutest.

Lily: I know. On dom, it’s gonna be adorable.

Amanda: Thank you. Thank you so much. That’s so thoughtful.

Lily: Of course. Any excuse to buy baby things.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ]

Lily: How’s he doing, by the way? Is he feeling any better?

Amanda: Well, according to devon, nothing has changed. He’s still lethargic. He’s not eating the way that he should.

Lily: Does the doctor know what’s going on yet?

Amanda: They’re still waiting on test results.

Lily: Well, I really hope it’s something easy to treat.

Amanda: Yeah, me too. But I’m assuming that you’re not just here to drop off a baby gift.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Well, no, I also wanted to chat with you one-on-one, see how you’re doing. And, you know, just wondering how your law practice is going.

Amanda: Good, good. It’s going really, really well. Um, it’s a little slow right now. That’s why I’m home today. But we did get a huge rush of clients in the beginning, so much so that we had to turn people away, but now the wave of cases are wrapping up, so…

Lily: Must be nice to have a breather.

Amanda: Yeah, but we are gonna need to drum up some clients soon to pay for this fancy office space.

Lily: Wow, that’s a lot of pressure.

Amanda: Yeah. I’m not overly concerned. My sister imani, she has a lot of political connections and we have friends and family who have agreed to, you know, refer clients our way, so…

Lily: Yeah, but are sutton’s cronies gonna want to work with the lawyer who helped bring him down?

Amanda: Why would you ask that? Because it sounds like you’re trying to make me have doubts about my firm.

Lily: No, I’m not. I just, you know, think maybe you should cast a wider net for clients.

Amanda: Well, I am doing some networking on my own. But if there was someone specific that you had in mind, i would love to hear it.

Lily: Well, actually, I do of a pretty big client looking for legal representation.

Amanda: Really?

Lily: Mm-hmm.

Amanda: Who is it?

Lily: It’s me.

Amanda: [ Scoffs ]

[ Cellphone rings ]

Rey: There we go — right over there, there’s our guy. You see him?

Chance: Yep.

Rey: He’s disabling the security system. Alright, so, I’m gonna circle around to the east side of the house. When I get there, you come at him from the other side, alright?

Chance: Yeah. Okay.

[ Smashing ]

Abby: Great, there’s coffee. I’m definitely gonna need this today.

Chance: How’s dom doing? How’s he feeling? Or how’s he seem?

Abby: [ Sighs ] Well, he’s sweet and affectionate. I tried to sing him that goofy song that he really likes — the one that always makes him laugh — and I could barely get a smile out of him. Then he went back to sleep. I mean, we have to figure out what is causing this.

Chance: Yeah, don’t worry. The doctors are on it. We should be getting these test results back any time now.

Abby: I’m just so thankful that you’re here and I have you to lean on. I mean, if this had happened while you were away, I would be losing my mind. I’m already close to it.

[ Sighs ] Just when you hold me in your arms, you make me believe that our little boy is gonna be okay.

[ Sighs ]

Allergies don’t have to be

Amanda: You need a lawyer? What for? Is there some kind of issue with your contract at chancellor industries?

Lily: No, no, jill’s been great. She accommodated all of my requests.

Amanda: Oh, wow, that’s nice.

Lily: Yeah, no, she really believes in my vision for the company, even though my method is less traditional.

Amanda: Well, I’m so glad to hear that because that is not always the case. You know, I remember my partner back in madison. He was fairly stuck in his ways, and that was so frustrating at times. That’s why I’m trying really hard with imani, since she’s a little less experienced, not to be so rigid about, “this is the way that it’s done.” It’s good to be open to new ideas, you know?

Lily: Yeah, no, it is. I mean, honestly, I wish more people were like it. I mean, we have some, you know, senior execs at chancellor that are great — they’ve been there for years — but, you know, they’re very resistant to change and innovation.

Amanda: Putting up road blocks, testing your limits.

Lily: Yes, absolutely, and then to top it all off, we had someone resign, someone that i had been hoping to promote to division head.

Amanda: I’m sorry. That must have been so disappointing.

Lily: Yeah, but, honestly, in the end, it’s for the best. I mean, billy and I want people there that believe in where the company is headed.

Amanda: Yeah, and you had that at chanccomm, and it produced great results.

Lily: I know that because you were one of my top people on the team. So when I said I needed legal representation, that’s what i had in mind. I want you to work with billy and me again, but this time, at the mothership — chancellor corporate.

Billy: You know what? I got too much going on right now. So I will sleep when I’m old.

Devon: I hope you’re kidding. I know lily wouldn’t want you to run yourself ragged making this project happen, that’s for sure.

Billy: I appreciate your concern, but really, it’s not a big deal. You know, it just — it feels like lately that’s where I’m getting most of my thinking done, where I’m feeling creative. I don’t know, maybe it’s the darkness, maybe it’s the fact that everyone’s sleeping and it’s actually quiet.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: Maybe that’s why they call it the witching hour, because anything’s possible.

Devon: Aren’t you exhausted when you go to work the next day, though?

Billy: Well, that’s the thing. It can be a little bit tricky, but it’s nice to work from home. Sneak in a little nap once in a while. Who knows, maybe I’ll turn out to be nocturnal.

Devon: [ Laughs ] I don’t know if lily would like that very much.

Billy: Well, it does have its benefits.

Devon: Does it?

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Devon: Like what?

Billy: Hmm. For instance, a few nights ago, I was up late, you know, thinking about things, putting some things down on tape, and lily came downstairs, and I let her listen to a little bit about it. And it really sparked an interesting conversation.

Devon: What was the topic of this conversation?

Billy: Life, you know? All those big questions, all those things that we feel. Should I slow down? Should I speed up? Should I go in a completely different direction? How do I make sure that fear and doubt don’t consume my life? You know, just stuff we all feel.

Devon: Sounds like a mid-life crisis without the actual crisis part, though.

Billy: Yep, you nailed it there. Um…but let me just be very clear, I am extremely happy where I am right now, and I want to do everything I can to make sure that I keep it that way.

Abby: [ Sighs ] Do you think I should wake up dominic, make sure he gets something to eat?

Chance: Maybe we should just let him rest till we know more.

Abby: Okay, if you think so.

Chance: Abby, you having any second thoughts about telling your family what’s going on? You know, maybe we could use some more support.

Abby: No, no, no, there’s no need to worry everyone possibly for no reason. And if there is something wrong… you know what? Let’s just forget that I said that, okay? I have all of the support that i need from you. Unless, well, did you ask me that because you need somebody else to talk to?

Chance: No. No, I’m okay.

Abby: Hey, it’s totally fine if you need to talk to a friend. I will not be offended. What about rey? Did you tell him what was going on when you were at the stakeout?

Chance: Yeah, you know, we — we talked about it briefly. He knows we took dominic to the doctor.

Abby: And that’s why he understood that you had to leave early?

[ Cellphone rings ] It’s nate. Maybe he has news. Nate, hey. Have you heard from the specialist? Are dominic’s test results back yet? I’m in love again with this!

Amanda: Lily, that is an amazing offer. I appreciate you thinking of me.

Lily: You are my first choice. I mean, honestly, you’re my only choice.

Amanda: And I am flattered. Thank you. But…the timing is just not right. I just started my own practice.

Lily: Yeah, but you just said that you needed more clients.

Amanda: I also said that I’m very confident we will find them, so…

Lily: Look, I’m really hoping this opportunity is too exciting for you to pass up. I mean, I am asking you to be my new chief counsel. I want you to be in charge of all of chancellor’s legal operations.

Amanda: Wait, that is a senior-level executive role.

Lily: Yes, which you are more than qualified for. You did amazing work at chanccomm.

Amanda: Yeah, that was a relatively small division of a larger corporation. We’re talking about chancellor. It’s huge — international.

Lily: Right, so think of it as a promotion, right? One that you have fully earned.

Amanda: Lily, you must have dozens of lawyers there who have decades of experience. Why wouldn’t you want to put one of them in charge?

Lily: Because no one has decades of experience in the areas that I want to focus on. The things I want to do didn’t exist five years ago, right? Like the podcast project that billy and devon are working on.

Amanda: Yeah, devon did tell me about that.

Lily: Yeah, I want to work with people that have grown up with advanced technology, people that are comfortable with the pace of innovation.

Amanda: You have really given this a lot of thought, huh?

Lily: I have. Look, I’ve come to realize that working at chanccomm was the perfect preparation for what I’m doing now. We always did stories on the future of business and technology, you know? And now I’m in a position to make sure that chancellor doesn’t miss out on that.

Amanda: Well, you are right about that.

Lily: Yeah, but I want to do it with a strong team behind me, with people like you who are smart and capable and forward-thinking.

Amanda: Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa. Lily, just — you got to just give me a second to catch my breath, okay?

Abby: Okay, yeah, thank you, nate. We’ll see you in a bit.

Chance: What’d he say?

Abby: Uh, he’s going to bring dr. Alston over here to personally explain the results. I guess I’ll call devon and ask him to join us.

Chance: They’re making a house call?

Abby: Nate thought that we would be more comfortable here, and that way we don’t have to disturb dom, since he’s not feeling well, or leave him.

Chance: Okay. Uh…okay, that’s very accommodating of them.

Abby: Yeah.

[ Sighs ] If this were good news or something minor, they would have just told us over the phone, right?

Chance: We shouldn’t speculate, okay? We’ll know soon enough. I mean, what did he exactly say, word-for-word?

Abby: Well, nate didn’t want to get into it because hematology is not his field. He said that dr. Alston will explain everything and go over all of our questions.

Chance: Okay, well, that’s what matters, right? Getting answers. So we’ll find out what’s wrong and what to do about it, and we’ll get dominic whatever he needs.

Abby: Yeah.

Billy: I think this right here, that might be one of my favorite ideas. You know, everybody loves a good q&a, whether it’s about, you know, parenting or relationships or your neighbors or your job or whatever. It would be our modern version of a classic newspaper column.

Devon: Sure, and that’s a time-tested format.

Billy: Yeah, absolutely. I mean, everybody’s — we’re all asking questions, we’re all trying to fix things about ourselves, and this would be very intriguing. It would almost be like living vicariously through someone else’s thoughts and feelings. We’d be like a fly on the wall. I think people would really like it.

Devon: I agree with you. I mean, I sought some chats and blogs on parenting that I found to be really helpful.

Billy: Because they are.

Devon: Yeah.

Billy: And once we get off the ground, people are gonna write in, and we’ll have no shortage of material.

Devon: Yeah, you’re right about that. I mean, it makes the possibilities endless for what we can talk about. And like you said, I mean, i think too, we’re all asking ourselves those big life questions every day, like you’re doing up late at night.

Billy: Yeah, exactly. You know, maybe I’ll start my own podcast.

Devon: That’s not a bad idea.

Billy: Oh, come on.

Devon: It’s not.

Billy: Actually, you know what? It is a good idea because if my midnight musings bore people to tears, we can flip it on its head and use it as a cure for insomnia.

Devon: Oh, come on.

Billy: I’ll acquire a upper-crust british accent and i will talk about my feelings.

Devon: You’re joking. I’m being very serious about it. I really am, ’cause you said that your soul-searching led to a really valuable conversation with lily, and you could be doing that for a lot of other people on a much wider scale.

Billy: I don’t know about that.

Devon: Nah, encouraging them to dig deep.

[ Cellphone rings ] Hang on one second.

Billy: Yeah.

Devon: It’s nate.

Billy: Take it.

Devon: Thank you. Hey, what’s the update? Okay, alright, I’ll be over right away. Thanks. So he and the specialist are heading to the chancellor mansion to fill everybody in on dominic’s condition.

Billy: Go, go. We’ll pick this up another time.

Devon: I appreciate that very much.

Billy: Of course.

Devon: This is great work. I really, really love your ideas, man.

Billy: Thank you very much. But listen, most importantly, i hope dom is okay.

Devon: I do too. Thank you, man.

Billy: Okay.

Devon: I’ll check in with you.

Billy: Yeah.

Devon: See you.

Billy: [ Sighs ]

If you have medicare

and medicaid,

Devon: We’re just here waiting for nate and the specialist to arrive.

Amanda: Okay, well, did you want me to join you?

Devon: No, no, you don’t have to do that. It shouldn’t take too long. But I’ll fill you in once we speak to the doctor.

Amanda: Alright, well, um, we’ll say a prayer on our end.

Devon: I appreciate that very much. I love you.

Abby: Oh, devon, you’re here.

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Hey.

Devon: Chance told me that you were up with dominic. How is he doing?

Abby: Uh, he’s okay. Um, doesn’t seem uncomfortable or like he’s in any pain, but he doesn’t have much energy or an appetite.

Devon: Okay. Well, listen, I think the fact that nate and the specialist didn’t tell us to rush dominic to the hospital after they got the results is a great sign. ‘Cause if it was a medical emergency, they would have done that, you know?

Chance: That’s a good point.

Abby: [ Sighs ] Nate’s car just pulled up. They’re here.

Amanda: [ Sighs ] It’s so hard waiting for news about dominic.

Lily: It’s okay, I’m sure we’re gonna have some answers soon.

Amanda: Yeah, I know, I know. I’m just — I’m not the most patient person in the world.

Lily: Okay, well, then let me distract you. Let’s keep chatting about you coming to work with billy and me.

Amanda: You are really persuasive, you know that?

Lily: It comes in handy, I’m telling you.

Amanda: Yeah, I see now how you were able to convince billy to be your second-in-command.

Lily: Well, no —

Amanda: I really — I just want to say, I did not think that his pride would have allowed him to do that, especially since you guys were on equal footing at chanccomm.

Lily: I know. Honestly, it was not easy. He turned me down the first couple times I asked him.

Amanda: Well, what made him change his mind?

Lily: Well, I don’t know. I think I just gave him some space and let him find his own path. You know, at first, he was just so focused on getting back at the people responsible for what happened at chanccomm, but then I think he realized it wasn’t making him happy and he was letting his ego get in the way of him, you know, doing something that was a great opportunity.

Amanda: And now he’s fully on board. He’s ready to be your lieutenant?

Lily: Yeah, I mean, I didn’t think it’d be easy, but it’s been great. We actually fight less now that there’s a, you know, very clear line as to who has the final say.

Amanda: Yeah, chain-of-command is a good thing.

Lily: Yeah, and billy knows that I love having him on board and that I actually want to hear his ideas. So now, if he brings me something and I’m not sold on it, he’ll either go and make a revision or he’ll, you know, let it go.

Amanda: Really? I mean, billy can do that? We’re talking about a man who has a lot of conviction about his own ideas.

Lily: I know. That’s a very nice way of saying that he’s stubborn as hell, which, yes, is true, but, no, he’s really excited about the transformation of chancellor, you know? We’re having a lot of fun.

Amanda: Well, I am glad that your partnership survived the shake-up at chanccomm, and i know that you two will do amazing things together.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Amanda: And I have to say, i am pretty impressed that billy has grown and evolved so much that he can embrace this supporting role, but the idea of giving up my new practice —

Lily: Okay, whoa, whoa, wait. Hold on. Don’t finish that thought, okay? I want to come with me.

Amanda: Where are we going?

Lily: Well, before you decide anything, there’s someone I want you to talk to.

Amanda: [ Scoffs ]

[ Groans ]

Chance: Thank you both for coming. Um, obviously, we’re really worried about our son here. We’re hoping you guys can shed some light for us.

Nate: Well, I’m going to defer to dr. Alston’s expertise.

Dr. Alston: Thank you, dr. Hastings. The first thing you need to know is that the results of the bone marrow aspiration showed no sign of leukemia.

Abby: Oh, thank god.

Chance: Yeah, that’s a relief.

Devon: That’s amazing we can rule that out.

Abby: I mean, are you any closer to finding out what is causing dominic’s symptoms?

Dr. Alston: We ran another test, and it revealed that dominic has a rare blood disorder. That’s what led to the low red blood cell count and the resulting fatigue and loss of appetite.

Abby: That sounds very serious.

Nate: Unfortunately, it is.

Dr. Alston: I recommend we treat this now, before it causes any other issues such as growth deficiencies, digestive problems, or frequent infections like pneumonia. Left unaddressed, this will likely lead to bone marrow failure.

Chance: Okay, so what does the treatment involve?

Devon: And what can we do to help?

Dr. Alston: The best way to combat this disease is a bone marrow transplant. Age-related macular degeneration may lead to severe vision loss.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. In here, it’s savings on a wide range of appliances.

Dr. Alston: In the best-case scenario, post-transplant, dominic will begin producing healthy bone marrow and red blood cells on his own.

Devon: And what’s the worst-case scenario? Does his body reject the donation?

Dr. Alston: Well, a lot of that depends on the compatibility of the donor.

Abby: Can I be a donor or devon? I mean, we are his biological parents. We must be compatible, right?

Nate: I’m afraid it’s not that simple.

Devon: Why isn’t it that simple?

Nate: It’s rare for a family member other than a sibling to be fully compatible. Although you both should get tested just in case. You’ll be half-matches at least, since dominic gets 50% of his genetic material from each of you.

Dr. Alston: There have been successful transplants using parental donors that are only half-compatible, but if we were to take that route, we would have to take special measures to reduce the chance of rejection.

Chance: I’m guessing the risks are higher in that case.

Dr. Alston: It’s not ideal, but it may be our best option.

Devon: Okay, so what do i have to do to get tested as quickly as possible?

Nate: Dr. Alston and I will head back to memorial and set that up for you immediately.

Devon: Good.

Abby: I’m gonna go too. I’m gonna go get tested. Thank you so much for coming over, explaining all of this to us, even though it was difficult to hear.

Dr. Alston: I understand you’re frightened. However, there is real hope for dominic to live a happy and healthy life.

Chance: Hey, are you okay?

Abby: Um, I guess it’s better to know what we’re up against, right?

Chance: Yeah. Um…let me get your coat and I’ll drive you.

Abby: No, no, I’m gonna drive myself.

Chance: What do you mean?

Abby: I think you should stay here in case dominic wakes up and he wants his dad to hold him.

Chance: Are you sure you want to go alone?

Abby: Just please tell me that this is all gonna be okay.

Chance: Hey, hey. I am here for you. Okay? No matter what. We will get through this as a family, I promise you.

Lily: Hello, hello. Surprise, surprise.

Billy: Whoa, yes. Please tell me this what it looks like it is. Tell me you’re joining the team.

Lily: Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on. I haven’t closed the sale yet.

Billy: Come on.

Lily: I thought she should speak with somebody who also was very reluctant to join, but now is so glad that he did. So…

Billy: Yes, he is very glad that he did. Sit down, amanda. Look, what can I tell you, okay? This is where it’s at. Not here exactly. Of course, we’re working from home because our offices are being expanded, but I wish we could go to chancellor because you would actually feel the vibe. It’s electrifying. And the entire team is on board and ready to revitalize this business. And, you know, there’s nothing that can’t be challenged with us right now. Everything — if there’s something that somebody feels that they can do better, we don’t only welcome that, we actually reward it.

Amanda: Wow. Well, it sounds like the ideal work environment, and I’m not surprised. And I heard about your venture with hamilton-winters, so I know there’s some sharp thinking going on here.

Billy: There is, and I know you loved working with us. We loved working with you. And now you will have more autonomy, a bigger office, a bigger paycheck — what’s not to love about that?

Amanda: If you haven’t forgotten, I have all the autonomy that I could ever want. I just opened my own firm with my sister as my junior partner.

Billy: Yeah, we know that.

Amanda: Okay, guys, I know that you guys are used to working with family, but this is all so new to me and I can’t — I can’t just walk out on my sister.

Lily: No, amanda, we would never ask you to do that. We want you to know, there’s a place for imani at chancellor.

Billy: Yeah, absolutely. What kind of role do you think she would want? Maybe entertainment law or real estate or what about political lobbying? Or, hey, maybe she works directly with you, you as her mentor. Either way, there is a place for her.

Amanda: Okay, I never even considered the possibility that imani would be coming with me.

Lily: Yeah, we know that you’re a package deal. That suits us just fine.

Billy: The more, the merrier.

Amanda: If you’re serious…

Lily: Look, we would love to chat with imani and address any concerns she may have.

Amanda: Oh, god, you guys are making this really hard to say no. Okay, I’ll talk to her. I will talk to her and I will get back to you. Facing expensive vitamin c creams with dull results?

Lily: Thank you for backing up my recruitment efforts.

Billy: Of course. Happy to do it. I think it would be great if amanda was head of our legal affairs. Plus, if I ever get tempted to cross a line again…

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Well, I would love to believe that your questionable tactics are behind us.

Billy: I’m just kidding. But we both know it’s important to have a fantastic lawyer on the payroll.

Lily: Very true. How’d your meeting with devon go? Did you get through everything before he had to leave to meet with the doctor?

Billy: Yeah, we touched base on a few concepts, and I think he really dug them. And then he got a phone call and had to take off, but it was good.

Lily: Good. I really hope that everything’s okay with dom.

Billy: Yeah.

Lily: Devon loves that baby so much. If anything were seriously wrong —

Billy: Well, let’s just remember that that little baby’s cousin is one of the head honchos at memorial and his grandfather’s victor newman. He’s gonna get the best care possible.

Devon: [ Sighs ]

Amanda: There you are.

Devon: Hey.

Amanda: Did you get my message?

Devon: I did, yeah. I apologize for not getting back to you right away. But we had to — we had to go straight to the hospital from abby and chance’S.

Amanda: The hospital?

Devon: Yeah.

Amanda: Dom needed to go to the hospital?

Devon: No, dom didn’t need to go. Abby and me went to go get tested to be donors.

Amanda: What kind of donors?

Devon: [ Sighs ] Dominic has a blood disorder. And that’s why he’s been so tired all of a sudden. Some kind of issue with his red blood cell count, and according to the specialist that nate brought in, he needs to have a bone marrow transplant.

Amanda: Oh, my god. Oh, my god. What does that even entail?

Devon: Uh, the procedure’s actually pretty simple, but the hard part’s gonna be finding a donor.

Amanda: What if you can’t?

Devon: If we can’t or even if we do and it doesn’t work, they’re talking about complete bone marrow failure, where all these horrible things could happen to him and his whole young life would be a living hell.

Amanda: God, I am so sorry. I’m so sorry. What did the doctors say? Did they say that you and abby can be donors? What do they think?

Devon: I don’t know. We didn’t get the test results back yet, but we’re probably just gonna be a half-match.

Amanda: Why? Why can’t they get a closer match for dominic? He has so much family right here in town.

Devon: Yeah, and none of them are gonna have as close as a dna match as his biological parents. Usually the only other person that would be a sibling, which he doesn’t have, and if you want to get a perfect match, he’d have to have a —

Amanda: Identical twin. The only instance where two people share the same dna.

Devon: Right. So, you know, me and abby are probably gonna be as good as it gets, which isn’t optimal, and it’s just another way of saying that we might not be able to save him.

Rey: Hope it’s not a bad time. Just thought I’d check in, see how things were going. I remember you mentioned that dom was getting some tests run.

Chance: Yeah, yeah, we — we got the test results back.

Rey: I take it the news isn’t good.

Chance: No, he’s — something wrong with his bone marrow, his blood, and that affects everything — you know, immune system, growth, all that.

Rey: Is it treatable?

Chance: Yeah, he needs a bone marrow transplant.

Rey: [ Sighs ]

Chance: Abby and devon are at the hospital right now, seeing if they can donate.

Rey: I feel for you, man. I’ve been there twice before in similar situations. Once when lola needed a transplant and then again with faith. I know how terrifying it is just waiting for the news for a possible match. It’s hard, partner.

Chance: Thanks. You know, the doctor’s saying there’s hope, so hanging on to that.

Rey: Yeah. Well, sharon and I will keep you in our prayers. I’ll relay the message to paul. Obviously, nobody’s gonna expect you at work right now under these circumstances.

Chance: Yeah, well, that’s not the only reason.

[ Sighs ] On the stakeout, man, when I…

Rey: No, chance, you don’t need to explain.

Chance: Yes, I do. I do. I have to apologize because i let you down.

Rey: [ Sighs ]

Lily: Is that the graphic you made for your pitch to devon?

Billy: Yes, it is.

Lily: What’s — what’s that one? “Midnight musings”?

Billy: Ah. That’s actually kind of funny. Devon and I were joking around about me starting my own podcast based on the late-night ramblings that I’ve been having. I kept it there as a reminder because I thought you’d get a kick out of it.

Lily: Um…I kind of love that.

Billy: No, no, no.

Lily: Yeah.

Billy: We were kidding about it. At least I was kidding about it. It’s not really a thing.

Lily: Wait, did devon like it, too?

Billy: Um…I guess maybe. He just thought that I couldn’t be the only one that’s up late at night philosophizing with a scotch in my hand.

Lily: I mean, it’d be easy to get sponsorships. It’s plenty of liquor companies out there.

Billy: Okay, I am not interested in pouring my heart out for people to hear and, most importantly, judge.

Lily: What do you mean? Don’t be so quick to shoot this down. There’s ways for you to stay anonymous. You could have a pseudonym. You could, you know, write it but then have someone else tell it. I mean, this could be really good for you.

Billy: Okay, are we done? Can we move on?

Lily: Don’t delete that bubble.

Billy: [ Laughs ]

Lily: Do not.

Billy: Yes, ma’am.

Abby: Sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt.

Chance: No, no, no, no. Rey was just stopping by to see how dominic was. I told him everything that’s going on.

Abby: Oh. Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

Rey: Of course. And listen, if there’s anything that sharon and I can do, please let me know. We’ve been there before.

Abby: Yes, I remember.

Chance: I’ll walk you out.

Rey: I know the way.

Chance: Thanks, man.

Rey: Yeah.

Chance: How’d it go? How was the hospital?

Abby: Uh…they are gonna let me know soon if I’m a match.

Chance: Okay, okay, well, fingers crossed at least one of you are.

Abby: Um…so when I walked in, I couldn’t help overhearing you talking to rey. What was that about? I mean, you said something about letting him down.

Chance: Oh, honey, that — that was nothing. I was just apologizing, ’cause, you know, when I ducked out of the stakeout early, it was just poor form on my part. It was nothing.

Abby: Because you thought you were ready to go back, but once you were there, did something specific happen that changed your mind?

Chance: No, baby, stop. You were just right. It was too soon. Look, don’t worry about me. We have much more important things to worry about now.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Abby: It’s dr. Alston. Dr. Alston, hi. It’s abby. Did you get my test results back?

[ Sighs ] I see, so I’m only a half-match, as anticipated. Well, what about devon?

Amanda: We can handle this, okay? We will find out everything we can about this disorder. We will search the globe for donors if we have to. And you are not in this alone, okay? You have me, you have lily and nate and abby and chance and everyone else who loves that little boy. And we will get through this. We will get through this together, okay?

Devon: I know, thank you. I know that you’re right. I just hate that he has to go through any of it.

Amanda: I know.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Devon: It’s the hematologist. Doctor, hello. I’m doing alright. What’s the latest. Are you sure? That — hang on just a second. I’m 100% match for dominic.

Amanda: What?

Devon: [ Laughs ] [ Sighs ] Oh.

Adam: To two wrongs making something very right.

[ Glasses clink ]

[ Breathes deeply ] Uh, well, since you’re now newman media’s coo, we, um — we need to hit the ground running.

Sally: Alrighty.

Adam: Yeah. We need to organize our ideas and craft them into a specific plan.

Sally: Yeah. I guess you need to show the world that you made the smart choice in hiring me.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Well, I’m not worried about what the world thinks because soon everybody is gonna see what i do.

Sally: Well, I feel the exact same way about you. Soon, victor and victoria are gonna have to forget all of their doubts and their worries and accept you as the phenomenal ceo that you are.

[ Laughs ]

Adam: What?

Sally: I’m sorry. I can’t help but laugh. We both flipped out when we walked in here and we saw all of this, the — the flowers and the champagne and the chocolate-covered strawberries.

Adam: I honestly thought that you set all that up.

Sally: I thought it was you! I mean, we acted like it was some, like, terrible breach of our contract to keep things strictly professional.

Adam: Well, we’ve been clear about, um, you know, how we’re gonna make this partnership work. We swore that we were gonna make sure things are uncomplicated.

Sally: Mm-hmm. Yeah. And never, ever actually celebrate a holiday.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. There’s that. But, uh, would that really have been the, uh, worst thing in the world?

Sally: If I had brought you the chocolate-covered strawberries and the champagne?

Adam: You know what I meant.

Sharon: Hey.

Rey: Hey.

Sharon: How’s it going?

Rey: Well, I have some bad news. I have to work on that burglary case tonight, so I don’t know how late I’ll be home. Trust me — this is not how i wanted to spend valentine’s day with you.

Sharon: Well, that’s okay. I understand. I do. You know, if you marry a cop, you’ve got to expect there’s gonna be late nights and missed holidays.

Rey: Well, I promise I’m gonna make it up to you.

Sharon: I know that you would be wining and dining me if you could.

Rey: Mm.

Sharon: And besides, I like the sounds of making it up to me. I think that’s going to be more fun.

Rey: Wow, you really are an expert at turning lemons into lemonade, huh?

Sharon: Well, I know how much it means to you to catch this burglar. I was asleep when you came in last night after the stakeout. So, how is it working with your partner again? And how did chance do on his first day?

Rey: Well, I hate to say it, but he wasn’t ready.

Sharon: Oh. What happened?

Rey: Well, I’d rather just leave it at that. But it might have been a good thing that chance tested the waters. It’s clear he’s still dealing with a lot. Joining me may have given him the opportunity to realize that he was pushing too soon to return to work.

Sharon: Well, I’m sorry to hear that. But hopefully this will help him find his way and he’ll get the help that he needs.

Rey: That’s what I love about you, you know? You’re always looking on the bright side of things. Which is why I can’t bear for you to go all day without your gifts. You know, I have some time before I have to go in. And while I have you almost all to myself, maybe I can take the time to show you just how much I love you.

Sharon: Well, I like the sound of that.

Rey: [ Chuckles ]

Noah: You know, the meeting with the county review board went well.

Nick: Well, let’s just keep our eye on the ball, alright? We got a long way to go.

Noah: Hey, I mean, is there anything we can do to speed up the process a little bit? This project can help a lot of people. I mean, here it is, valentine’s day already, and we really haven’t made that much progress.

Nick: I mean, these things take time.

Noah: [ Sighs ] Yeah, I get it. I just — I don’t know. I’m just anxious to see it all come together. And these decorations, man — these decorations are really not helping my mood. It is just a constant reminder that you and I are in the same boat this year, S.S. Dateless.

Nick: Are you kidding me? This is a made-up holiday that forces suckers to buy a bunch of candy and flowers, and you aren’t missing anything.

Noah: Oh. Really? Yeah, I’d almost believe that if I hadn’t seen you go all out over the years. So, nice try. You talk a good game, though.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Well, i guess you got me there. But trust me — I’m fine. Are you okay?

Noah: Yeah. Yeah. You don’t have to worry about me. But, hey, if you’re not doing anything, how about we hang out tonight while the rest of those suckers are out celebrating?

Nick: Yeah. Let’s do it.

Noah: Cool. Well, I should probably get going. I have an errand I need to run before the entire town is overrun with red roses and champagne.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Yes.

Noah: See ya. Hey, what’s up, man? Good to see you.

Moses: You too. Hey, um, your assistant said you’d be here, and I really need your help.

Nick: Sure, man. What’s up? Sit down.

Moses: Thanks.

Mariah: Hey, you.

Tessa: Ooh. Hi.

Mariah: Aww.

[ Laughs ] Look at this! What a sweet valentine’s day gift.

Tessa: Oh, no, that’s not your gift. That’s just some ambiance to set the stage. I have something way better for you.

Allergies don’t have to be

scary.

Rey: So, what do you think? Any ideas? I cannot leave my beautiful wife without showing her how much i love her.

Sharon: You could clean out the walk-in refrigerator.

Rey: Oh. Yeah.

Sharon: Now, a gesture like that — that’s the sign of real love.

Rey: Mm, well, if that’s what it takes, I will do it. Where’s the mop? Let’s go.

Sharon: Wait. Stop. I was just kidding!

Rey: You know, I know. I know. I know what I’ll do. I can give you one of my world-class back massages. Hmm? Guess that wouldn’t look too professional, though.

Sharon: Well, I could lock the door and put the sign out and tell the world that we’re closed. It might be worth it.

Rey: Mm-hmm.

Sharon: You know what? No matter how late you get home, we will celebrate.

Rey: Mmm.

Faith: I am officially freaking out!

Sharon: Why? What happened?

Faith: The day is already half over, and I’ve got nothing. I wanted to get moses something perfect and special, but everything that I come up with is either too casual or too weird. Like, I’m not gonna get him a mug with a soccer ball and “world’s greatest…whatever” on it, like you probably got rey. I mean, that’s too lame.

Rey: A mug?

Sharon: Um, not even close.

Faith: It was just an example, okay? Look, I have been going back and forth about what to get him for so long, my head is going to explode. And now valentine’s day has snuck up on me, and it’s gonna be too late to do anything.

Rey: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Relax. There’s still time to get him something cool.

Faith: Yeah, but what? That’s the problem. I don’t have a clue.

Sharon: Well, he loved that sweater you gave him for christmas. You seem to know what he likes.

Rey: Yeah, or what about a t-shirt from something you two shared together, like a movie or a ball cap or — what’s wrong with a mug? You know? Hey, listen, it’s the thought that counts. He’s gonna love anything you get him.

Faith: Yeah, that’s just the thing. I want to get him something that looks like I put tons of thought into it.

Sharon: Well, you could always make him something. He would love that.

Faith: Seriously, mom? Poster board and glitter?

Moses: Look, I really hate coming to you like this, but I’m desperate. I haven’t gotten anything for faith for valentine’s day, and not only am I running out of ideas, but I’m running out of time, too. So, what do I do?

Nick: Okay, first let’s slow down.

Moses: Yeah, but — i wouldn’t come to you if I had anywhere else to turn. Devon is busy with amanda, and nate’s working. So, who knows faith better than her dad?

Nick: Okay, um, I think her mother might have something to say about that, but I do know faith pretty well. Um…I know she loves that bracelet that you gave her for christmas. And I know this because she wears it every single day.

Moses: Yeah. I mean, that was a really good gift, but it almost got screwed up when I blew it by giving her a book. I mean, what was I thinking?

Nick: [ Laughs ] Alright, I think I can help you. Um, I think the first thing we need to do is figure out what you’re trying to say with this gift. You know, the bracelet that you gave her with the charms and, like, the chess pieces — that said, “I know you. You know, this is something that matters to you, and this is where we are right now.” Right?

Moses: Okay. Yeah.

Nick: So, moses, what is it you’re trying to say with this gift?

Moses: [ Sighs ]

Chloe: Sorry I wasn’t able to work last night.

Chelsea: Oh, don’t be silly. Is bella doing okay after her nightmare?

Chloe: Oh, yeah, she’s fine. I finally got her back to sleep. You know, it’s just all part of the wonderful, unpredictable world of being a parent. Something you know all about.

Chelsea: I do. Connor has had plenty of sleep issues. Apparently now I have sleep issues, too. Yeah, I had awful insomnia last night. Couldn’t sleep. It was driving me nuts. So eventually I got dressed and went to crimson lights.

Chloe: After we talked?

Chelsea: Yeah. I actually bumped into rey there. We had a really nice, normal conversation. I know that doesn’t sound like much, but I’ve just had a hard time lately finding my footing, you know? Talking to rey — it was just nice, you know, to talk to somebody that wasn’t judging me. God knows rey has every reason to.

Chloe: Well, you better get used to it. You’re gonna find fewer people getting all judgey on you now. That’s what your new life without adam is going to look like.

Adam: I was simply agreeing with you about how we reacted to the, uh, champagne before we realized it was from an advertiser. Maybe we were overcompensating a bit.

Sally: Perhaps.

Adam: But look at us. We’re doing a good job of navigating the situation and working together.

Sally: Yes. Yeah, we are. So, uh, let’s stay focused on the big picture.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: Maybe we start with a list of our most pressing issues.

Adam: Well, the most pressing issue was acknowledging that there’s, uh, something more going on between us, but that we were able to compartmentalize those feelings so it doesn’t get in the way of what we’re trying to accomplish.

Sally: Are we?

[ Glass thuds ]

[ Lock engages ]

[ Objects clattering ]

Sally: [ Laughs ] Kim is now demonstrating her congestion.

[ Objects clattering ]

[ Both breathing heavily ]

Adam: [ Exhales heavily ]

[ Both laugh ] Oh, my god. Oh, my god, that was a surprise.

[ Both breathing heavily ]

Sally: And intense.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: I’ve waited a really long time for this moment, and I — [Sighs] I still wasn’t prepared for it.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Both breathing heavily ]

[ Both laugh ]

Chloe: Listen to me, chelsea. You are finally on the right track. You have to keep looking forward and focus on our upcoming pitch to lauren. Good things are on the verge of happening for us.

Chelsea: I just don’t think we should get our hopes up, not after what I pulled last time I worked for her. I mean, I basically stole from her. And when we pitched lauren our idea, she made it very clear that she’s not willing to just ignore that.

Chloe: She also made it very clear that she was willing to consider giving you another chance. She sees how hard you are trying to get your life back on track, and making a break from adam, putting that toxic relationship behind you — that is a big part of it. It is proof that you are serious about starting fresh, and i think lauren sees that.

Chelsea: It doesn’t mean she’s gonna be willing to trust me again.

Chloe: Stop it. Okay?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

Chloe: I believe in you. I believe in us, and now you need to start doing the same. You have to have high hopes and start dreaming big because no one out there is going to hand us anything. We need to go out there, and we need to get things for ourselves.

Mariah: Hmm. Okay. That’s it. I give up. I give up. I don’t know where it is, so just please tell me where it is.

Tessa: Your valentine’s day gift can’t fit into a box with a bow. It’s far too big for that.

Mariah: Okay.

Tessa: You know how much i love you. This song — it’s written specifically for you, inspired by you.

[ Soft music plays ]

We tried our best

to ruin this

stripped to the ground

rebuilt it

brick by brick

time and again

time and again

[ Knock on door ]

Mariah: Oh, wow. That is lousy timing. No, no, no, please, please.

[ Music stops ] Don’t stop. Don’t stop. Whoever it is, they’ll go away if we just ignore it, so please keep singing.

Tessa: No, no, we can’t do that. What if it’s your mom?

Mariah: If it’s my mom? My mom would know better than to interrupt us on valentine’s day. Who does that?!

Tessa: [ Laughs ] Look, we started our celebration a little early. I promise I will start right where I left off.

[ Knock on door ]

Mariah: And I promise whoever this is, is going to go away immediately.

Tessa: [ Laughs ]

Mariah: Immediately!

Noah: Surprise!

Mariah: [ Chuckles ] Goal!

Mariah: Noah. Uh, come in. Come in. Yeah. This is — this is a surprise.

Noah: Sorry. I hope I’m not interrupting anything. It’s just, uh, I wanted to bring this belated house-warming gift. I guess now it’s more of a house-warming/engagement/ soon-to-be-parents gift.

Mariah: Uh, well, you mean not-so-soon-to-be parents. With everything we’ve learned from the adoption process, it’s going to be very long, very challenging.

Tessa: Yeah. But we really appreciate the sentiment.

Mariah: Yeah, this is incredibly thoughtful.

Noah: Okay, it looks like i definitely am interrupting something. Sorry. I, uh — I wanted to try to come by before the celebrating began. Um, I’ll just — I’ll just leave the gifts and go.

Mariah: No, no, no, no, no, no, please, please. It’s really fine. It’s fine.

Tessa: Yeah, yeah, yeah, please stay, I mean, at least until we open the gift.

Moses: Well, that’s the thing. I, um — I really like your daughter, sir. She’s special, you know?

Nick: I agree with you about that.

Moses: And I want to get her something that really shows just how special she is to me.

Nick: I think I know what you’re trying to say — or what not to say.

Moses: I don’t know how this happened. I mean, every day I’ve been thinking about what I want to get faith for valentine’s day. I’ve just been going along with school and my internship, thinking it over, and then, bam, the day is here and I’ve — I’ve got nothing.

Nick: No pressure, huh?

Moses: [ Sighs ]

Faith: Please, mom, you’ve got to help. This is a crisis.

Sharon: Okay, first of all, calm down. This is the good kind of problem to have. Actually, it’s not a problem at all. Finding the perfect gift for a person you care about can be fun.

Faith: You could give rey a mug and he’d do backflips.

Sharon: Again with the mug thing?

Faith: Seriously, mom. He would call you a gift wizard and drink out of it every single day for the rest of his life.

Sharon: [ Sighs ] It is the thought that counts. But I get what you’re saying about wanting it to have a particular kind of meaning.

Moses: I just kept figuring it would come to me when I least expected it, but when it got down to actually going to the store and picking the perfect thing…that just never happened. And now there’s, like, no time left.

Nick: Well, you obviously care about my daughter, and, uh, I think it says a lot that you’re willing to come to her father to get the perfect gift for her. That requires a certain amount of —

Moses: Desperation?

Nick: I was gonna say bravery.

Moses: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: Look, I think if we put our heads together, we can come up with some good ideas.

Moses: [ Sighs ] Thanks, man. I really appreciate that.

Sharon: Try not thinking about getting him the perfect thing, and instead just think about moses, who he is, what makes him happy. What was that? A thought already?

Faith: Yeah. Not exactly a gift. I was just thinking about his smile, the way he has of lighting up the whole world, like all of him is smiling, his whole being.

Sharon: There you go. Go with that. Think about where you were when that happened, what made him smile.

Moses: [ Sighs ] Thanks for talking this thing through with me. I really needed help figuring this thing out.

Nick: Not a problem.

Moses: Hey, you know something? You’re — you’re pretty cool.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Wow. I mean, that is literally something my daughter has never said to me. Thank you. And I am glad to help.

Faith: Thank you so much, mom. I knew I could count on you to help me. This is gonna be great.

Sally: [ Sighs ] So…are things gonna get weird between us now? Did we make a mistake?

Adam: I have to admit that I have thought about this moment for a long time, too. But what I imagined did not come close to the reality. But a mistake? No, not at all. I don’t see it that way. Do you?

Sally: Are you kidding? I mean, that was…

Adam: Yeah.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] So, what now?

Adam: [ Laughs ] I really — I really don’t know. But you know what? We don’t have to figure it all out right now. We can just play it as it goes.

Sally: Sure. Yeah. Sounds good.

Adam: [ Breathes deeply ] But we should, um, probably get back to work.

Sally: Yeah. We do have…a lot to do.

Adam: Yeah. The truth is, I am starving right now. I am famished. What about you?

Sally: I am ravenous. When you’re looking for answers, it’s good to have help. Because the right information, at the right time, may make all the difference.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. I’ve got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Mariah: Okay. Oh, noah. Oh, my goodness, this is… this is beautiful. Look.

Tessa: I love it.

Mariah: Oh, where should we hang it?

Tessa: Uh… oh, how about over there?

Mariah: Great. Alright, let’s try it. How does this look?

Tessa: That’s perfect.

Mariah: Noah, I… I — I just can’t thank you enough for creating this for us. It’s a masterpiece.

Noah: It was my pleasure. I really hope you guys know how happy I am for you and how much I’m rooting for your marriage and your adoption plans and everything else good coming your way.

Sharon: [ Laughing ]

Rey: You are amazing.

Sharon: I am?

Rey: Yeah. I saw you with faith earlier. Now, I know you’d like to admire your handiwork, but maybe we should give the kids some space, huh? Be a little more discreet?

Sharon: Um, look at that. The espresso machine needs attention.

Rey: Mm-hmm. And I will do that repair for you on the patio.

Sharon: Oh, you don’t have to do that.

Rey: I’m happy to do it. You can thank me later.

Sharon: I will thank you later.

Rey: Mm-hmm.

Moses: Happy valentine’s day, faith.

Faith: Happy valentine’s day. It’s kind of weird, when you think about it, that someone just picked a random day to make it love day and now it’s, like, greeting cards and candy bonanza.

Moses: Yeah, but if you think about it, it’s got to suck for people who don’t have anyone to love. The worst day of the year for them.

Faith: Yeah, that must suck.

[ Both laugh ]

Moses: But today is also a reminder — like, if you really care about someone, you can let them know and show them how much you care, which is pretty cool, right?

Faith: Yeah. I hope you didn’t feel, like, you know, forced to get me something.

Moses: Forced? No. I just wanted to make sure I got just the right thing for you.

Faith: [ Chuckles ] Wow. Did not see that coming.

Moses: Oh, no, that’s not for you. That’s for your dad.

Faith: [ Chuckles ] Okay.

Moses: It’s a joke. I’ll explain later.

Faith: Is this for me?

Moses: Yep.

Faith: [ Laughs ]

Moses: Thanks.

Faith: [ Chuckles ] What?! Concert tickets…

Moses: No way. Tickets to coltrane?

Faith: …To coltrane?

Moses: What? Wow. No way.

Faith: I know how much you love his music and that listening to his music was something that you shared with your dad.

Moses: Yeah. I remember the first time i played him for you.

Faith: You made me close my eyes so I could feel him with my whole body and really see the music. It was like magic.

Moses: Yeah. It felt that way, too, when my dad first played his album for me. And then it felt like I was listening to it all over again when I showed him to you. Feeling it through your heart, hearing it through your ears. Yeah. You nailed it — like magic.

Chloe: I love the direction you’re going with that. I feel like that could be the showpiece for the whole line.

Chelsea: Lauren did seem to like the idea of an exclusive new collection just for fenmore’S.

Chloe: Well, I talked with the accountant, and he’s putting together all the financials for her.

Chelsea: Great. What do you think?

Chloe: It’s amazing. You really have not lost your touch. I think lauren’s gonna love that.

Chelsea: Yeah. I plan to make metallic buttons a recurring theme in the new line.

Chloe: I love that idea. I feel like this is all coming together.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Oh, great. Just what we need.

Adam: Um…would you feel more comfortable going somewhere else?

Sally: Would you?

Adam: No.

Sally: Okay then. Let’s stay. I mean, I know this is all uncharted territory and there’s still a lot that we need to figure out, but this is definitely not the place and it’s definitely not the time.

Adam: Well, we don’t need to figure it all out right now. We agreed that we would play it by ear.

Sally: Yeah, and I am perfectly fine with that. I mean, after all, this is just a business lunch. It’s a perfectly normal thing for ceos and coos to do.

Adam: Hello, ladies.

Chelsea: Well, look who it is. The two of you are spending a lot of time together lately.

Adam: Well, that’s ’cause sally is my new coo.

Chelsea: Seriously? That’s the job you gave her?

Adam: Yes, she’s going to be amazing in the role.

Sally: It’s nice working with someone who recognizes and appreciates my skills.

Chelsea: Mm, I’ll bet he does.

Chloe: Congratulations, sally.

Sally: Thank you.

Adam: Yeah. She’s gonna have a real trial by fire with everything going on with newman media, a lot of details involved, as you can both imagine.

Chelsea: You’re doing on-the-job training? You’ve got your hands full.

Adam: Not so much. Uh, sally’s already shown she’s more than capable of holding her own.

Sally: I mean, we can’t spend all the time in the office, as much as I love all the energy and sparks that are flying around there.

Adam: Anyway, what is going on with you two? I hear you met with lauren for a possible collaboration.

Chloe: Yeah. We were just actually working on our final pitch, and it’s going rather well, if I do say so myself.

Sally: Mm, well, good luck with that. As someone, you know, who worked with lauren, I know what a stickler she can be, so make sure you cross all your t’S.

Chelsea: Oh, thanks, but I’ve worked with lauren before, too. We know exactly what she wants and what she needs.

Sally: Well, you know, if you need anyone to have a fresh set of eyes, to take a look at your pitch, or maybe give you some advice on your designs, you know, as someone with recent experience of the fenmore’s business model and strategy, I could… you know what? No. You guys are gonna be great.

Chelsea: I think we’re okay. Yeah, we’ve got a lot of exciting ideas, so we’re good.

Sally: Wow. It’s really wonderful that lauren was willing to give you a second chance. Not everyone’s fortunate enough to have that opportunity.

Chelsea: Well, it’s a good thing that we didn’t tie you up with a contract, considering you had this amazing opportunity just waiting for you around the corner — and with adam. It’s almost like we did you a favor.

Sally: You have no idea.

Tessa: That’s the perfect spot.

Mariah: That’s such a beautiful addition to our home.

Noah: I can’t begin to tell you how glad I am that you actually like it.

Mariah: We do. We really, really do.

Tessa: We’ll treasure it forever.

Mariah: And we get to say that we have our very own noah newman original.

Noah: You do. Enjoy it. Anyways, I should get going. I told dad I’d hang out with him tonight. So please get back to your celebration.

Tessa: Bye, noah. Thank you for stopping by.

Noah: See ya.

Mariah: Hey. Thank you so much for doing that for us. It — it means so much to the both of us.

Noah: See ya.

Nick: Young love. There’s nothing like it.

Sharon: Remember when we were teenagers?

[ Both laugh ]

Nick: I sure do. I even remember the first gift that you gave me.

Sharon: Really? You do?

Nick: Yep. Friendship bracelet. You made it yourself. And you know what? It worked. ‘Cause we’re still friends.

Sharon: Aww.

Nick: And now faith and moses are making some memories of their own. Man, moses came to me earlier in a panic. I guess he didn’t know what to get faith for valentine’s day.

Sharon: I can’t believe this. Faith did the same thing. She came to me in full drama mode. It was the worst thing in the world. She couldn’t think of what to get moses for valentine’s day.

Nick: Seriously? What’d you tell her?

Sharon: I told her to put less focus on the gift and more so on moses and what she likes about him, what makes him smile.

Nick: I pretty much said the same thing to moses. I asked him what he wanted the gift to say. I guess they’d just got done listening to a jazz record together, so…

Sharon: Coltrane? Oh, my god. And they shared a special moment?

Nick: Yeah.

Sharon: Because there was this flyer for a salute to coltrane concert. It was pinned up outside. It seemed perfect.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] We are good. Up top. My asthma felt anything but normal.

Adam: What do you know? Looks like everything turned out well for everyone. I have no doubt that sally’s gonna be an incredible coo for newman media, and I know you and lauren will be great business partners. But, um, if you will excuse us, we have some business to attend to, so we’ll let you get back to yours. Good luck with the, uh, pitch.

Sally: Yeah. Good luck with that.

Chloe: [ Sighs ]

Chelsea: Our presentation is going to blow lauren away. She will be so impressed with us, she’s gonna make that deal in a heartbeat.

Chloe: Damn right she will.

Adam: Hey. You good?

Sally: Are you kidding me? It’s the best valentine’s day ever.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Sighs ] Okay. Oh. Alright.

[ Sighs ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Okay.

[ Knock on door ] Oh. Oh. Come in! Good morning. Good morning. Carly corinthos? That’s me. You must be… rebecca diamond, esquire. I’m here to discuss your divorce. Britt! Nina. Hey. Britt. I take it you’ve heard. Uh, that carly and sonny broke up? Yeah, who hasn’t? So tell me, how’d you do it? Hello. Can I help you? We’ve met. I’m one of your freelancers. Smoltz, right? You remembered, yeah. I sent you a bunch of pitches, but I haven’t heard back. Check your e-mail. Huh? Oh, there you are. You didn’t take any of them. Alexis: No.

[ Sighs ] And here’s why. See, we have declared a moratorium on aliens invading the government, on severed heads in carry-ons, and, you know, celebrity sex lives, that sort of thing. Got it, not a problem. I’m here because I have a scoop. Crop circles? Classic noir love triangle involving the mafiosi and high-fashion. Worlds collide as nina reeves invades the marriage of sonny and carly corinthos. Boom. Hey. There something on your mind? The louvre, the eiffel tower, and the arc de triomphe. Willow, we will get to paris, even if I have to smuggle you.

[ Chuckles ] Which you might have to if I still don’t have a passport. Maybe we can get an update. Willow: Mom. Willow. Hey. Um, I would love to stop and chat, but I’m just in a hurry. Wait. You can’t spare a few minutes for your daughter? Wish I could. I’m sorry. I’m just so — I’m busy. Well, we’re all busy, but how hard is it to track down your daughter’s birth certificate? Hi. Look who’s awake.

[ Chuckles ] Hi. Hi. You seem to be doing better. I’m ready to get back to work, tracking peter and finding our granddaughter. Epiphany? No. She says no. I’ll be back. You make sure he stays in this bed.

[ Monitor beeping ] Have you heard anything? Have they found peter yet?

[ Sighs ] Peter’s still on the loose.

[ Both sigh ] And he’s taken a hostage. Please tell me it’s not anyone I know. Looking at her, you’d never know everything she’s been through. First, her psycho father kidnaps her from right under us, and then drops her at a firehouse then gets away with maxie. We just — we have to assume that maxie convinced peter to leave bailey behind and then agreed to go in her place. I’m just glad that felicia and mac have entrusted us with her for the last two nights, but now that mac’s on the mend… we always knew we were just a placeholder until maxie could be with her daughter again. First, they have to find her. What if maxie’s gone for good? We need to find peter so the authorities never do. Understood? Yeah, and I’ll expect a progress report soon, which means I expect some progress.

[ Knock on door ]Yep, coming. Where is she? I’m sorry, dr. Gatlin-holt. I’m rather busy at the moment. I’m gonna ask you one more time — and only one more time — where did your pal peter take maxie?


I promise you, willow, I’m doing everything I can. Well, then, what’s the holdup? Well, it’s like, you know, going to the dmv, but times 1,000 is what it’s like trying to get something out of the hall of records and — and we moved state to state, so… well, maybe this will help. I looked into it myself. Oh, looked into it how? I contacted all the hospitals in clairbourne county, but there was no record of any birth certificate. And I contacted somebody at the state department. State department? Yeah, they’re gonna do a global search, and that will — you know what? I actually have to go to my appointment, and I’m late already. It was good to see you. Wait, mom, if you could just give us the name of the doctor, that…would be great. I can’t believe it’s this hard to track down my birth certificate. Assuming your mom is even looking for it. You don’t believe her? Do you?

[ Beeps ] You’re recording this? It helps prevent misunderstandings. It also allows me to keep thorough track of my client’s wish list. Wish list? Houses, jewelry, other valuables, your portion of the portfolio, other assets, some of which may be offshore. Oh, and, of course, the children. Ms. Diamond, I thought I made myself perfectly clear on the phone. I invited you here just to go over my options. Is that your polite way of saying you’re not ready to divorce your husband? Britt: Last night, I was at the savoy, and carly shows up dressed to kill with her bestie felix on her arm and no ring on her left hand. She already took off her ring? Point being, she’s trying really hard to get over sonny. Well, I don’t — okay, listen, that’s not why I came looking for you. No? Then I have to get back to work. You probably — listen to me. You probably already know that maxie’s baby was found, but maxie is still missing, and the police think that peter took her hostage. You know peter. Do you have any idea where maxie and peter could be? I have it on excellent authority that the don of the eastern seaboard flew the missus to martinique, where he played musical beds with the editor in chief of crimson. Mm. Well, “a,” you got your facts wrong, “b,” we would never be able to do a story like that because, “c,” we would get our butts sued. So I’m afraid I’m gonna have to pass on that little gem, too. Sorry. Fine. I’ll just sell the story somewhere else. Good. Good. I hope they pay you a lot of money. Well, he didn’t seem happy. Well, you know, changing the perception of the invader is not as easy as it looks. Yeah, sometimes the past can be impossible to shake. I guess we’re not talking about

the invader anymore, are we? After everything maxie did to keep this baby safe, she still had to let her go. For the life of me, I just — I don’t know how she did it. It’s because maxie loves her little girl that much. We have to love her enough to do the same.

[ Doorbell rings ] Maybe it’s news about maxie. Here you go. Hey. Okay. Oh, dad? Olivia? Is everything okay? Yes, yes, we just came by to say hello to our soon-to-be former granddaughter. Of course. Come on in. There she is.

[ Door closes ] Hi. I know. Hi. There you go. Feels like more of a goodbye to me, too. Yes, you are. What on earth what makes you think I know where peter august is? You played me to get information, you found out where maxie’s baby was, and you fed that information to peter. Are you accusing me of endangering a child? What’d you get in return? What’s the price for an innocent human life?

[ Chuckles ] Why, you do have a melodramatic way of asking a question, doctor, but you don’t have a shred of proof. I don’t need proof. I’m not the police. Maxie’s gone. Peter has her. You tell me where she is. Or — or what? Remember, doctor, you took an oath to do no harm. I did. I took that vow. The problem is… …you’re not my patient. Dr. Obrecht: I would put the syringe away if I were you, herr doctor. Really, why would I do that? Because you are displeasing mein guter freund, herr glock.


this manicured weasel knows where maxie is. “Manicured weasel”? That’s right. What are we doing here? Go ahead. You — you brought a gun. Go ahead. Shoot him. Well, it wouldn’t be the first time. You shoot him. I’ll patch him up. How about that? Why do I need you when I can do both backwards and in heels? Now, put the syringe away, herr doctor, or I’ll shoot you and leave you to bleed out. Oh, why don’t you do it anyway? Good thinking, herr doctor. Ah, my dear liesl, I knew I could always count on you. I don’t know why you give this guy a pass. You don’t care about maxie? If it weren’t for you, maxie and her daughter would be safe and sound. Haven’t you done enough, or do you want to make things worse? If so, by all means, stay. I believe you know the way out, doctor. I will reunite maxie with her child. And you and peter are gonna share a cell. Do you think his bedside manner is any better than that?

[ Sighs ] I don’t know. I… I wasn’t listening. Oh, my dearest liesl. You came to my rescue. How can I ever repay you? Peter has maxie? I need to get out of here. No. Stop that. Felicia, I have to find her. No, no, you have to stay in your bed. Please lie back. Leave that bed too soon, and you risk a setback — maybe a fatal one. Then the bad guys win. Is that what you want? What I want is to get my daughter back. And how are you gonna do that by staggering around and bleeding all over the place?! You lie there,let your body heal, and I’ll let you know when you can go. Got it?! Got it. Thanks, epiphany. I’ll take it from here. Good luck.

[ Monitor beeping ] I hate that I’m stuck in here! Well, maybe some good news will help. Oh, please. Lay it on me.

[ Sighs ] Our granddaughter louise is alive and well.

[ Chuckles ] Can you come to your — to your grandma olivia? Or, your — sorry, your aunt olivia and your uncle ned? Oh, my sweet. Oh. Hey, how are you doing with all this? It’s hard, but it — it really is for the best. Now chase and I, we could go back to living our lives. It’s not like we set out to be parents. I mean, can you imagine the two of us at the pta? Olivia: Yeah. I can imagine it real easily, actually. I can, too. Chase. Yes, sir? I’ve told brook lynn how proud I am that she took responsibility for this beautiful little girl, but there’s something else that still needs to be said. I had you wrong. Dead wrong. I just ran into willow and michael, and she can’t understand why I can’t produce her birth certificate for her. Here’s a really crazy thought. Why don’t you tell the truth? What, that I forged it? No, that you — you were lost and you moved into this community and the community didn’t trust the government and so on? I’m sure that willow will understand that. Yeah, maybe, but it — it still doesn’t give her what she needs, which is proof of birth so she can get a passport.

[ Sighs ] Well, speaking of which, I did speak to my colleague friend, diane, and she confirmed what I already suspected. There really is no avenue that will allow you to substitute a fake for willow’s authentic birth certificate. Well, no legal avenue you mean? Like you said, how hard is it to find a birth certificate? Well, here’s hoping your contact at the state department will be able to track it down. I hope so, too, but it doesn’t change the fact that your mom has been avoiding you. I mean, what’s the mystery? What is she so afraid of? My marriage is over, and I am ready to move on. What I don’t want is to go to war. I’m not looking for a wish list or petty revenge. I want this over quickly and as painlessly as possible. You want to expedite this? Then you need to tell me everything — unsanitized, unvarnished, unabridged. Every gory detail.

[ Sighs ]


Peter and i barely know each other. I mean, I wish I had known that he was an unstable psychopath. I would’ve warned maxie. But then we wouldn’t have bailey. Or rather, louise, would we? My heart just breaks for maxie. Just when she thought she could reclaim her daughter. But, britt, what I can’t figure out is how did peter find out that bailey wasn’t brook lynn’s baby, that she was really his and maxie’s daughter? Who knew what maxie and brook lynn were up to? I knew pretty early on, but I would rather die than tell peter that information. I mean, I almost did. Well, someone else wasn’t so discreet. Someone who had something to gain — like victor cassadine. I don’t know about that. But if — if you’re right and victor told peter, then who told victor? Speak of the devil. Victor, I remember your affections fondly, but alas, I am spoken for. Well, I have no doubt mr. Baldwin offers you an amusing distraction, but then so does an accordion, if you’re in the mood. You should know by now you will not score points with me by disparaging

mein scott. Then tell me, dear liesl, how do I score points with you? By stripping down… yes? …And revealing… and? …Your humanity. Oh, is that what we’re calling it these days? Deny it if you want. Beneath the glib yet acerbic banter and your world-weary savoir faire, you are devoted to your own flesh and blood. Almost to a fault. Then you must know how much maxie’s disappearance pains everyone who considers her family. You know how much I hate seeing you in pain. Is there something I can do? There is. If I ever meant anything to you, victor, you’ll help me find maxie. I know what you’re doing. Is it working? What do you think? My heart is pounding. Feel it. Mm. Like an allegro timpani solo at the berlin philharmonic. You know how much I love philharmonic percussion. Then you’ll help me? I depends, my dove… …on what’s in it for me. Sir, if I am ever lucky enough to have a daughter of my own, I hope I can stand by her the way that you stood by brook lynn. He likes you. He likes bailey. I was just part of the package. Okay, my turn again. Okay, here you go. Here. Aww. Okay. Alright. Bailey — or louise — no matter where you go in life, no matter where you call home, you will always, always be a part of our family. You really are a miracle. You know that? Born in the woods, rescued at a firehouse, and you managed to bring out the best in every person around you. And even if we couldn’t see it at first, you showed us what was always there all along. That might be the biggest miracle of all.

[ Chuckles ] I just keep thinking there’s a way around this or past this — there is. You admit that you made a mistake, you let diane negotiate on your behalf to keep you from being incriminated, and then you and willow generate a legal document that will certify her birth. Right. Unless, of course, you don’t

want her birth certified for some reason. Alexis, thank you so much. I know you’re trying to help, but I just — I can’t do this. You know who you sound like? You sound like me when you were trying to help me not drink, and I resisted you. So w-why won’t you let me return the favor? My mother has constantly put her trust in the wrong people. After shiloh and cyrus renault, how could I forget? It taught her to distrust everyone, including the government. You, on the other hand, have contacts in the state department and the sec. You contact district attorneys in other states directly. Not everyone can do that. Okay, yes, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect transparency when it comes to something so straightforward as a birth certificate. Straightforward to you, but you’ve always had a stable, loving family — two stable, loving families that you know you can count on. The loving, maybe, but stable? I don’t know about that. Well, not anymore, anyway.

[ Sighs ] So, at sonny’s insistence, I show up at the haunted star for a romantic evening, and instead of being in the stateroom waiting for me, he was in bed with nina reeves.

[ Beeps ] You have just said more than enough to take sonny to the cleaners. Which is not my objective. I know. I get it. You don’t want his money. Now, with regard to building a case, I do wish you had consulted me before moving out. However, finding him in the sack with a woman who kept his existence a secret more than makes up for it. Now, you’ve just gotten a lot off your chest here. Maybe you want to press erase and it all ends now, which is certainly an option. Or we just leave it here in case you need to use it. Sonny’s a fighter. If I use what’s on that recorder — he’ll hurt you? Physically? No. But if I put him on the defensive, sonny’s gonna make this divorce very ugly, which, as I said over and over again, is the last thing I want. Let him do his worst. You have a secret weapon. What’s that? Sonny himself.


Let’s be honest. Your husband has a reputation. I know that. But there are also children involved, children who love him very much. And that is the beautiful part. We do not have to make a single negative allegation because any judge sitting on that bench knows the name sonny corinthos and will be predisposed to rule in your favor. You mean they couldn’t get him for an alleged crime, so they want to use me to punish him. Well, they got al capone on tax evasion, right? So you add on some lying, some infidelity, and other things that a great P.I. Can dig up, and I’m pretty certain I can get you sole custody of your minor child. I believe you said her name is donna. How’s that sound? Growing up, my life was just so messed up and bizarre that when I got to know your family, I kind of idealized them, maybe to the point of overlooking my own mother. I don’t always give her the credit she deserves for turning her life around. Yeah, even I have to admit she’s — she’s doing her best. And she’s been respecting our boundaries, not coming around all the time, not arranging surprise visits in public places. So I guess you’re saying we should cut her some slack.

Some slack. What are the odds that, out of all of wiley’s grandmothers, at this point,

my mom might be the most drama-free? Thank you for trying, alexis, but I — what? You ask me to help you and — and you won’t accept my help and I don’t know why. So why? Are you ashamed? Are you ashamed of your past? Because I stabbed a cop in the chest with a syringe on a vodka-fueled rage, and the only excuse I had was, “I was aiming for someone else.” Well, what I went to prison for is a hell of a lot worse. I’m sure kristina would agree. That’s a good point. Forging a birth certificate is not nearly as bad as what you actually went to prison for.

[ Sighs ] Listen, harmony, I found a support system in my daughters, and I think you’re underestimating yours. From everything I know about willow, she is open-minded, she’s kind, she’s compassionate, and if you would just tell her the truth, I’m sure she would understand. But she won’T. Harmony, whatever it is that you’re running away from, it will catch up to you. And then what? This was taken just after anna and chase found her at the firehouse. As you can see, louise is happy and healthy. Thank god.

[ Chuckles ] And brook lynn and chase have been looking after her the whole time? Yeah. Yeah, and they’re bringing her here today. And that’ll give you a chance to see for yourself that our granddaughter inherited maxie’s survival gene. And then we get to take her home? We do. Our newest granddaughter under our roof with her brother and sister, and we get to spoil her rotten. Well, that’s a tall order. She’s been living with the quartermaines all this time. Yeah, we can bring her back down to earth. Yeah, that’s more like it. We’ll give her everything she needs. Aye, aye, commissioner. Ah, that’s interim commissioner to you, lady. Ah, you’re starting to get your old, grumpy self back, I see. I won’t be myself until peter’s been caught and maxie has her daughter back in her arms again. Soon. Very, very soon. Dr. Westbourne is correct. It is my fault that victor figured out that maxie and brook lynn have been hiding louise in plain sight. Hey, wh-what? I mean, how — I can’t believe that you would give that information to victor deliberately. I didn’T. All I did was draw him a great, big map with an “x” on it, and then he figured out the rest on his own. Okay, so — and then victor gave that information to peter. And peter used the baby to lure maxie to him. Will the two of you please just stop? Stop kicking me in the teeth. Believe me, I’ve done it enough to myself over the last couple of days. Well, I’m probably not in the best position to judge because I could’ve told everyone that peter was alive and well when he showed up in nixon falls, but I kept my mouth shut. Well, not exactly. You did sic my mother on him. Well, that didn’t work. It didn’t work yet. My mother is nothing if she’s not persistent. She doesn’t relent. She adjusts and improvises. But you already know that, don’t you, dr. Gatlin-holt? You are incorrigible. But alas, my affections are off the table, for I am a one-man woman. Hm, how convenient. I’m only one man. Will you help me, victor, for old times’ sake? I need more. Fine. If you help me, it will enrage peter, and we can both revel in the schadenfreude of it all. Now you’re talking. I hate to see you suffer because of maxie, but I wouldn’t mind seeing peter suffer because of you.

[ Sighs ] I won’t be able to rest until maxie’s home again, reunited with her beautiful little kleine. The thing is, I have a long memory. I haven’t forgotten all the times you hurt me. Any more than I’ve forgotten all the times you’ve kidnapped, tormented, and nearly killed me and the people I care about while aiding and abetting my enemies. You make a fair point. Please, victor, for whatever good there was between us. I can’t promise, but I’ll do what I can. I knew I could count on you.


Let’s take a picture of the whole family, ’cause, damn it, that’s what we are. I’ll take it. Oh, no, slick… perfect. …You’re not getting out of things that easy. Get over here. I’m not really family. Well… you lived at monica’s house. You got your heart broken there. And tried to get one quartermaine to double-cross another. Trust me, you are part of the family, like it or not. Okay, let me get this. Ned: Alright, here we go. Okay. One second. Everybody say, “we love you, bailey.” All: We love you, bailey!

[ Camera shutter clicks ] Now I want to get one of the two of you with just bailey.

[ Camera shutter clicking ] Olivia: Okay, now I want to get a picture of the two you.

[ Clicking continues ] I’m the worst type of hypocrite. If you really believe that, you should get out more. I’ve been doling out advice to you about not letting your past define you, and here I am doing exactly that. Yeah, well, we’re all hypocrites. You know, I ask for help, and I really don’t want it. I’d rather just drown my sorrows in a bottle of booze, but, you know, we make unhealthy choices. Let’s stop doing that, huh? How about you help me, I help you, that sort of thing. That’s how friendship works. Ah, well, how am i supposed to know that? Harmony, I know you want the past to be in the past for willow’s sake, but if there’s more to this story than what you’ve told me, then don’t you think it’s better that willow finds out from you rather than from someone else? All yo ur mom did was misplaceyour birth certificate. Nina literally blew up my parents’ marriage. And my dad seems just fine with that. One more reason for us to expedite that passport and hop on a plane for paris, far away from all this insanity and closer to each other.

[ Cellphone ringing ] It is my contact at the state department. We may be one step closer to the eiffel tower. Hello? Sorry to do this, guys, but we’re on the clock. Already?Can’t we just have five more minutes? Unfortunately, mac and felicia are waiting. We just — we know it’s just gonna make it harder. Olivia: I wish I could say you were wrong. But you’re not. Ready? Okay. Hey, look at me. You will always have a home with us. Always.

[ Crying ]

[ Sighs ] Here. Let me get it. Bye, guys.

[ Sighs ] Mac: This is the best medicine ever.

[ Felicia giggles ] I’m sorry to disturb you, but the doctor’s ordered another test. Another test? What, are they looking for a reason to keep me here? Trust me, nobody wants to keep you here longer than necessary. How do you put up with him? Well, on the bright side, he’s definitely feeling better. There’s nothing wrong with me that seeing my granddaughter won’t cure. Oh, they’re probably on their way right now, so as soon as you get back from whatever this test is, I’m sure they’ll — test, test. Can’t we take this test another time? Some — I’m afraid not. Now, let’s get you out of this bed. No arguments. Yes, ma’am. I barely know your mother. Uh, not true. I was there when she gave you hell for clearing the way for peter to find maxie’s baby. Oh, wait, aunt liesl knows? Oh, well, I hope your affairs are in order. Here’s the thing. So — no, no. Don’t waste your time or oxygen on denials, okay? Just hear me out. I strongly advise you not to engage in shenanigans or cahoots with my mother. I am not a shenaniganist, and I’m not one to cahoot. Britt is right. Listen to her. With aunt liesl, there’s always collateral damage.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

Guete morge, britta dear. Nina, my pet. Would either of you mind if I borrowed the good doctor? Sonny and I went through an ugly divorce years ago, and we fought over our sons, michael and morgan. We hurt each other, and we hurt our children. I will never make that mistake again. And that is very noble and speaks volumes about your character. However, I have to ask, if you don’t want to punish sonny, there are plenty of attorneys in this town who can get you out of your marriage with shared custody and an agreement that you on your nicest day could call fair. So I want to know, why turn to me? What you wanted is for me to tell you that what happened between sonny and me in nixon falls could never happen again, but we both know that that would be a lie. If you don’t want sonny’s blood, what do you want?


Mother, why do you want to borrow dr. Gatlin-holt? I thought you were furious with him. Of course I was. But now we understand each other, don’t we, herr doctor? If you’ll excuse us. Mm? Well, we warned him. Uh, speaking of warnings, didn’t anyone ever tell you that carly’s a bad enemy to have? Yeah, it’s been mentioned to me 1 or 853 times. I’m just saying, you did keep her husband hidden for close to a year and then turn around and sleep with him. I’m sorry. I’m a little confused. Whose side are you on? Y-yours. I’m on your side. We’re family. And as family, I have to warn you, because if carly gets a chance, she will burn your life down. Thank you for the heads-up. But this has been a long time coming, britt. And if carly wants a war, I’ll give her a war. I would prefer not to fight with sonny. I’ve been down that road before, and it goes nowhere good. But the woman he cheated on me with? She’s the one I want to fight. I want nina reeves to pay for every lie she told, all the pain she caused, for everything she has stolen from me and my family. Can you give me that, rebecca? Well, we’ve got to start somewhere. Now, shall we talk about my retainer? If you want me to help you, you are going to have to tell me the truth. Now, both diane and I think that there’s more to this story. There’s something that you are not telling us. Is there? Yes, there’s more. Thank you for looking into it. Okay, bye. What did he say? Michael? Um… it doesn’t make any sense. There is no record of a birth certificate being issued to you in any of the 50 states or anywhere else in the world. According to the U.S. Government… I don’t exist? Olivia: Brook lynn and chase and the baby weren’t — weren’t here for very long, but, uh, it was already feeling like a home, and now it’s over. You know, one of the good things about this whole experience was that it brought us closer together as a family. And it taught us that brook lynn is far more selfless than we thought. Yeah, I’m sure no one was more surprised by that than she was. And now we know that, uh… that we will be there for your daughter whenever she needs us. Yeah.

[ Sighs ] Hi. Hello. Hello, there, beautiful girl. Okay, what’s up? I persuaded victor to let me get close enough to plant a tiny chip on his lapel. Should we have a listen? By all means. Victor: Johann, too many people are asking too many questions. We need to find our friend, mr. August, and silence him once and for all.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Tapping ] Long time, stranger.

[ Gasps ] Oh, my gosh!

[ Chuckles ] Ohh! I missed you! That’s because you’re so busy being a boss.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, yes, well, technically i am the boss. Mm-hmm. But what about you? Lucas told me you have so much going on yourself — singing in the choir… mm-hmm. …Volunteering

and mentoring? Mm-hmm. It’s amazing. So, are you here for dinner? Oh, I’ve eaten. My sister and I ate earlier. Taylor’s in town? Yeah, but she’s exhausted. She already went to her room. Ah. I understand. I’m about to go up to my room any minute. You’re staying here at the hotel?

[ Sighs lightly ] So you haven’t heard all the gossip. We have so much to catch up on. Happy valentine’s day, mom. Why, thank you very much. Mom just wished us a happy anniversary. Oh. Thank you so much, jordan. We love and miss you so much. That we do. We can’t wait for you to make it back to port charles. Any idea when that’ll happen? It feels weird being here when maxie’s god-knows-where with my insane brother. It’s alternate realities. It’s a terrible situation, no question, but what can you do about it, britt? Find peter and stop him?

[ Scoffs ] And what? Get killed in the process? Just trust in the professionals and… ah, yes! …Match me shot for shot. Are you still up for takeout later? Uh, okay. Oh, you want to try that new peruvian place? Sounds great. Right. Should we order enough for esme?

[ Sighs ] I suspect esme has other plans. Such as? Breaking the rules. As usual. Surprise, lover! Oh! Never sneak up on a guy in prison, esme. Sorry. Thought you’d be happy to see me. Had to use all my magic to get in here after visiting hours. Uh, well, it’s, uh, it’s good to see you. Um, sorry I’m so jumpy. Uh, being in here has been… an adjustment. Which is why I thought you might like a reminder of me and the comforts of home. Happy valentine’s day to me. Excuse me. Do you mind if I sit here? Not at all. Thanks.

[ Jacket unzips ] Teal shirt. Well, so far, I’m not disappointed at all. Oh, well, neither am I.

[ Door opens, closes ] Ah. I couldn’t wait for you to get home, my love! To see me or the gift I brought you? Oh! You brought me a gift? This day just keeps getting better and better. You know, not that I’m complaining, but what has gotten into you? Carly and sonny’s marriage is in the toilet. Happy valentine’s day! Any fantasies you have about pjs and fluffy slippers, forget about it. I want to hear all the tea, so I’m taking you out on the town. Oh [Chuckles] I would love to, but I am exhausted. It’s been a long day. And I really need to do some soul-searching.

[ Sighs ] Uh-huh. Go on up to your room. Put on something sparkly, short, and skin-tight — or all the above — and then meet me here in 15. Save the soul-searching for church. Tonight, we’re going to the savoy.

[ Sighs ] Is phyllis here? Uh, no, you just missed her. Oh, um, okay. How is she? I-I came to check in on her since it’s the first valentine’s day — without lenny. Yeah, I had the same idea. Yeah. But, actually, she’s doing really good. Well, lenny would have gotten a kick out of all this. Yeah. See, this is like a great tribute, right? Yeah, it is.

[ Sighs ] How are you? Um, I-I’ve been better. Anything I can do? I think you’ve done enough. Yeah. Um… I should go. Is that what you want, sonny?


what’s esme done now? Painting her nails while sitting on the couch. I specifically asked her not to do that. Ugh! You know, I — I don’t know if it’s a lack of etiquette or it’s just poor judgment, but there is a blatant disregard for the rules! I mean, really, it’s like — it’s like her sense of entitlement just knows no bounds.

[ Sighs ] You’re not wrong. And don’t think I’m defending her. I’m not. But she is a teenage girl navigating unusual circumstances.

[ Scoffs ] She’s a teenage girl who’s working my nerves.

[ Laughs ] Really. Have you — have you seen the guest bathroom? Yes. But I also think her bad habits are exacerbated by spencer leaving. I think she feels abandoned. And I guess she’s living with people who she has no real connection to. I get it. I know you do. Am I a bad person if I still think she’s kind of a little brat? No.

[ Both laugh ] Even just a little bit. I know you’re right. I do. It’s just maddening. I know. I know. Tell you what. I’ll talk to her. That way, I’ll be the heavy. There could be a reward for you in that. Reward? Oh. Mm-hmm. Should we put off dinner for a while? You’re gonna have to wait. Good things come to those who wait. Very good things. Just a little reminder of what you have to look forward to. You like it? “Like” is an understatement. Since, um, spring ridge doesn’t do conjugal visits, I figured this was the next best thing. I’ll have to guard this photo with my life, protect your honor. And if anyone tries to take it, just let samuel know. Your uncle victor was right — he’s a doll. Did you get my gift? The flowers were gorgeous. Where’d you find french peonies this time of year? It took some forethought and uncle victor’s connections, but I couldn’t let my girl think I didn’t care. I was wondering if you might be free to stop by my house tonight. Uh, now? If you don’t mind. It’s kind of important. I’ll text you my address. So I’ll see you later? Um, yes, I’ll be there.

Great.

Thank you so much. I’ll let my doorman know you’re on your way. You just made my night. I love you. What is it? Something good? She may be coming home sooner than planned. Oh, my god! T.J., That’s amazing! You must be so relieved. Absolutely. I’ve been monitoring her progress. I-I knew she was recovering well, but it is a huge win if she can come home early. I’ve got my freedom back, and I…am embracing it. Well, that’s great news.

[ Sniffs ] Whoa! Wow! Ugh.

[ Chuckles ] So does this mean you’re not terrified of aunty dearest? Oh. Please. I’m not worried about her. Especially while she’s out of town. But, I mean, what about her minions? She might have eyes here. No, no, no, no, no. No dice, dr. Downer. If eyes are here, they’ve already seen us together, so let’s make the risk worth it. Down the hatch. We’re doing this.

[ Feigns sobbing ]

[ Glasses clink ]

[ Coughs ]

[ Groans ] It’s nice to finally meet you. Uh, finally? I can see now I had no reason to be nervous. Well, going out solo on valentine’s day is nerve-racking, but this place is pretty non-threatening. I suppose so. I had only been here for a few minutes, and I started to wonder if you would show. As in, where have I been your whole life? As in, where were you five minutes past the hour? I didn’t see anyone in a teal shirt, and I thought maybe I’d been stood up. You’re looking for a guy in a teal shirt. Well, I figured shining armor might be a bit blingy.

[ Chuckles ] But, honestly, I’m glad we decided to meet up in person. Look, I — I-I mean, I admit, I was wary of that dating app, too. I thought it was wacky to try and connect with someone without exchanging pictures. But meeting you has made me a believer, tanner. I’m sorry. I’m not tanner. Terry? I think our table’s ready. Nina, I — I don’t — I’m not gonna get in the way of you wanting to come to charlie’S. So I’m just gonna go ahead — um, that’s — I’m s-sorry. That’s not the question that I asked you. Sonny, I — what are you doing? I just want to know, is — what are you do– is it causing you more pain to run into me? Is it complicating you trying to work things out with carly? There’s nothing to work out with carly. Well…

[Stammers] I probably think that she’s upset, right? And she’s hurt, understandably. You just give her more time. Time. Everybody wants me to give carly time. But it didn’t seem like she needed time when, you know, she decided that she wanted the — the — you know, our marriage to be over when she saw us in the — you know what I mean. No, I don’t know what you mean. What are you talking about? Carly’s divorcing me.


What makes you think that carly considering divorce?

[ Sighs ] She’s meeting with a divorce lawyer. What are you thinking? Sonny, it doesn’t matter what I think. Yeah, it does. No, it doesn’T. Yeah, it does. This is about you and carly. You got something to say, say it, nina. No, my point of view is immaterial. Why? Because I can’t be objective. We both know I have a vested interest. Wow! That was fast! Is spencer okay? Did something happen? He’s fine. He’s absolutely fine, sweetheart. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to worry you. It’s just that… he asked me to mail this to you a few days ago, and I just haven’t had the chance. So…

[ Exhales sharply ] I brought you some more of that italian face cream you like and your favorite sweater. And samuel said it’s okay if you have this mini-speaker, as long as it’s not too loud. Uh, I don’t suppose that you had the chance to run back by the cabin and grab my headphones? No, I haven’t been back to the cabin. I haven’t even thought about it. Too busy being consumed with my boyfriend being in a prison facility. Don’t think that I don’t, uh, appreciate everything that you’ve done for me and everything that you continue to do. I’ve always been there for you, spence, and I always will be. You know that. Unlike your fair-weather friends. Have you seen them? Have they asked about me? No and no. Does it matter? Think about it, nikolas — how will the court view sonny as custodial parent if his marriage falls apart because of his own infidelity? This could be our chance to bring avery home here! Huh. Yeah, I hope you’re right. But? No “buts.” I just [Sighs] Get the feeling that your euphoria over the corinthos’ marital woes isn’t entirely about avery and maybe you’re slightly happy that it’s happened to carly? Maybe even more than slightly?

[ Crunches ] Are you accusing me of taking pleasure in someone else’s unhappiness? Maybe once upon a time, I wished carly ill, but lately we’ve been in a much better place. You and carly? Come on, ava. It’s me you’re talking to. Oh, alright.

[ Chuckles ] But don’t you think there is some serious karmic justice happening here? Do you have any idea the amount of crap I have taken from that woman over the years? It’s probably more than I’ll ever know. -Yeah. Damn straight it is. -Hm. And she and sonny, they have been insufferable — gatekeeping my child like I’m some kind of danger to her, giving me crumbs of time with avery, expecting me to be grateful, maligning our marriage every chance they get! Yeah, yet here we are still together. While their epic love story crumbles to dust. Britt: [Slurring] You’re kidding me!

[Slurring] True fact. Almost ten — ten percent of americans have broken up with someone on valentine’s day.

[ Scoffs ] You know what that means, don’t you? There’s a whole new crop of broken hearts that are just ours for the taking. Whew! We need shots! No! Clean up. Thank you. Thank you. Down the hatch!

[ Chuckles ] Okay! Wow, I guess there is something to going out tonight. Ah. You’re welcome.

[ Laughs ] Uh, I spoke too soon. I know. I’m not a fan of brad, either. But, uh, I won’t be chased out of here tonight. Neither will I. But I can’t say there won’t be trouble.


It’s perfect. Yeah? Mm-hmm. You always know what I need. Aww! [ Laughs ] Your gift is waiting for you at the honeymoon suite at the metro court. Oh! Tj! You didn’t! Happy valen-versary. Wanna dance? I could be talked into it.

[ Chuckles ] Ha!

[ Gasps ] Ooh. Wait.

[ Groans ] And here I thought I’d be safe. Aunt selina? Worse. Carly. Pfft. Don’t sweat it. I’m not. Besides, I haven’t had my dance yet. Wow. Brad and britt together again. -Some things never change. -Hm. The scenery’s changed. This is the savoy, not the metro court. And it’s — whoopsie! And it’s nice hanging out with my bestie. Even though I’m aware some people would rather he disappear back to pentonville. Britt — some might say brad got off easy, given what he did to carly’s family. I regret a lot of the things I’ve done. Felix, may I have a word with you? And then there were two.

[ Laughs ] Ironic, isn’t it? Hmm. What is? Us! Instead of being with the men we love tonight, we wind up with each other. Yeah. Happy valentine’s day to us. Sonny, you know how I feel about you. You do. Don’t you? Mr. Corinthos. It’s good to see you. We haven’t had much of a chance to talk since you got back. -Chet. -How are you? Yeah. How are you? Look. Listen. You’re doing a great job at the gym. How are you? I can’t complain. Thinking about calling tonight a wrap, though. You know. Single-guy problems. Well, I guess you don’T. Count yourself lucky. Oh. Nina — nina. This is chet. Chet, nina. He runs volonino’s gym for me. Yeah. It’s — you’re amy’s brother, right? It’s nice to finally meet you. Likewise. Um… so, okay. Well, I will let you get on with your evening. Alright, chet. Can I get another drink? -No. I don’t think it’s okay. -That’s — listen. If carly is meeting with divorce attorneys, I think it’s a bad idea for us to be seen out in public. The damage was done a long time ago, nina. Well, let’s not add fuel to the fire. I don’t — this is just…so unreal. When I got back, everything was great. Now how do — how did we get to this? We all played our roles, and I am so, so sorry for the part I played. I r-regret what went down, too. All of it? Because I can tell you this. There’s no part of me that regrets us sleeping together. Do you? Tanner: That’s why I appreciate that the app prioritizes the cerebral over the visual. Daters can scratch below the surface without having to worry about shallow concerns like the way someone looks or, uh, you know, whether they have a car or a career. But you do… h-have those things, right? No, I-I understand why a modern woman like yourself might feel pressured to join the capitalistic grind. Do you, now? Well, it might interest you to know that I don’t view the field of medicine through a capitalistic lens. No, it’s just that I’ve — I’ve chosen to vibrate at a higher frequency. I reject the expectations of society. I examine myself. I do the work. Avoid shirts with collars. I understand. But that all sounds like your excuse to avoid actual work. Well, if that’s what you heard me say, then you’re not listening. Oh. Please. Enlighten me. Laura: Actually, spencer wanted you to have this before he left for spring ridge. I’m so sorry for the delay. It’s just that so much has been happening lately. No, it’s fine. How’s he doing?

[ Sighs ] It’s still early days. I’m sure he appreciated his visit with you at ava’s gallery, though, before he had to report in. I… I appreciated it, too. Of course it matters if my friends are suddenly ghosting me. Your uncle victor reminded me that you can’t please all people all the time, which is exactly what I’ve been trying to do with your friends, and it’s gotten me nowhere. I mean, at least we still have each other, right? Isn’t that enough? Maybe coming tonight was a mistake. I’m just gonna go to the loo before I head out. Hey. Esme. What — don’T. Don’T. Thanks, samuel. You’ve been a doll. Hey, I, um — I know it’s late, but is there any way I could, uh, visit with ryan chamberlain before I go? Sorry. I’m afraid not. No worries. I’ll, um, just see him when I intern later this week. That’s not happening, either. Your access has been restricted. By whom? Kevin: By me.


I didn’t expect to see you here after visiting hours. Likewise. But it’s not unusual for me to visit a patient after hours. How did you get in? I, um… pulled a few strings. We’ll address that later. Right now I’d like to know why you’re trying to see my brother, especially when I warned you not to. I’m capable of handling it. I know you think so. Which is why I took measures to prevent you from “handling it.” Hm. This sounds more personal than professional. Are you sure you haven’t lost objectivity when it comes to your brother? What’s going on? I’d like to know that myself. So, esme, why is it so important for you to visit ryan? Ryan chamberlain? Why the hell would you want to see that psychopath? He remembered! Laura: Remembered what?

[ Breathes sharply ] I’m sorry. I…don’t want to pry. No. I-it’s fine. It’s okay. It’s just I’m kind of blown away right now. Really? I once told spencer I was a fan of this work, and he remembered. Wow. Well, that’s spencer, isn’t it? Oh, despite all of his antics, he’s got this other side. I know. A side that’s thoughtful and generous. Mm-hmm. You seem to have gotten to know each other pretty well. Mmm. Can anyone ever truly find happiness with sonny? You know, if you asked me a year ago, I would have said absolutely not. But he’s changed. Hasn’t he? Seems different. Especially with nina. It’s like he’s almost human. Well, finding your true mate will do that. Thank you, sweetheart. I agree. And I feel the same way. I’ve never really been able to be myself with anybody without feeling like I was being judged. And just… it’s so liberating and refreshing to… strip away the façade. You feel free to strip bare with me anytime. No. I’m — I’m — I’m being serious, though. I feel safe with you. Good. I love you. Just as you are. And everything you just said about how I make you feel… is how you make me feel. And they said we wouldn’t last.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ] They — they have no idea what we have. Well, we don’t need them to know what we have. As long as we do. It’s you and me. Our love against the world. Hey. You know what? When we renew our vows, I think that’s how it should be. Just you and me. U-unless you really want to have guests. Al l I want, my darling…[ Glass taps lightly ] …Is you. I just want you to know I hate that I hurt lucas and so many others. Brad, this is gonna sound strange coming from me, but… you can’t keep beating yourself up. You have a real opportunity now that you’re out… to do good. Do you have any plans? Not yet. My future’s not entirely up to me. Well, there are worse things than being single on valentine’s day.

[ Gasps ] Like… your brother wreaking havoc on the entire town and abducting your sister-in-law. Yeah, or your husband disappearing for almost a year… ooph. …And then returning only to cheat on you. Or losing your last chance at love! And your best friend.

[ Sighs ] You know…he helped me pass out valentines last year at the hospital? I wish I could have seen that. Yeah. Turns out it was a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence. Okay!

[ Clears throat ] So…we could have a good cry or we could order more shots. I say shots.

[ Laughs ]

[ Fingers snap ] This round’s on me. Okay. N’neka! I regret that my life has come to this… and that my wife wants to end our marriage so quickly. Well, I don’t know. Maybe she’s just weighing her options, sonny, whether she wants to stay or go. That is not carly’s style. What — you — what do you think the odds are that carly hasn’t made up her mind? Wow. I’ve never been called a shill for pharmaceutical companies before! I just happen to ascribe to more eastern philosophies than western medicine. You do remember that I’m an asian doctor, right? A-are you anti-science? Science has its place. Yes, in medicine. And so does mysticism. And, in fact, it is a necessary part of the human spirit and has been so in every ancient civilization.

[ Scoffs ] And I have to say you came across more broad-minded on the app. Sorry to disappoint. Say, can you illuminate me on an adjacent topic? Be happy to. Did mysticism develop the technology behind your hair plugs, or was that science? Oh, that’s — yeah, that’s cute. We’re gonna need another round here, please! Don’t worry. It’s on me. Believing in science is good for something. Oh, yeah. See? There it is. Capitalistic.

[ Scoffs ] Okay. That’s enough. Can’t sit by and watch you do this anymore. Tanner: Who the hell are you?


I just wanted to observe ryan for my class, and dr. Collins won’t allow it. Why would you want to hang around that psycho kook, esme? Mental illness is not a joke. Besides, you don’t seem to care what I want these days. -What? -I mean, I came here tonight to see you, spence. You were my top priority, and something tells me that I am not yours. What did I do? I’m just trying to look out for her. She feels she can take care of herself. Can the same be said of you? -Who am I? -Yeah. Who the hell are you to interrupt our date? The boyfriend. I tried, baby, but I just can’t share you anymore. You know i always come back to you in the end. I’m sorry. This is not a match.

[ Door opens, closes ] Is it something I said? I guess I wasn’t magical enough.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Breathes deeply ] I’m terry. Chet. It’s nice to meet you, terry. Uh, sorry about the inconvenience earlier. Would a drink make up for it? And don’t worry — I can cover it. It’s a start.

[ Exhales sharply ] Has carly ever done something like this before? Carly and I have a lot of water under the bridge. Of cour– I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to — to pry. I know that you guys go way back. I know that. Yeah. It’s just — yeah. [ Sighs ] It’s — it’s ironic ’cause carly was so upset about not knowing your history with me in nixon falls, but that was only a couple months compared to the years and years that you two shared together. I know. I know. But I was just thinking…

[ Scoffs ] …I’m at a much greater disadvantage. Nina. It’s not a competition. Isn’t it? Hoo! How many of these have you had?! They grow on you. Two more, please!

[ Chuckles ] What are they still talking about over there? Oh. As long as brad stays away from me and my family, I could care less. Right. And if he doesn’t cross the street in time when he sees one of you, michael will just call his political friends and invent charges! Seriously? You want to go there? Let’s talk about your family. Peter. Obrecht. Faison.

[ Scoffs ] Not to mention — me. Don’t — don’t stop on my account. I was gonna say nina. She’s no slouch in the cheating, lying department. That’s for sure. Okay, I cannot discuss nina with you. Because you can’t defend her. Well, that truce didn’t last long.

[ Sighs ] No, it didn’T. Okay. [ Sighs ] Aren’t you tired of fighting? Are you? Yes. That’s why we should just keep drinking and forget everything! Are you talking about your parole officer? Who else would be in charge of your future? I just meant the — the consequences of my mistakes will determine my future.

[ Chuckles ] Brad, you were a good lab tech, but if you can’t go back to that, maybe you can find a new passion. You mean do my own thing? Find my purpose? Yeah. That would mean real freedom. Happy valentine’s day, mrs. Cassadine. Unless you feel the day doesn’t necessitate a gift. You know me better than that.

[ Chuckles ] You said you felt safe with me. I’m happy you see the good in spencer. Not everyone does. Well, his friends do. And I’m still his friend. Does he need anything? That’s sweet of you to ask. Um, esme brought him a few things today. Oh, good. I just hope it wasn’t some of the same old stuff. I mean, I know spencer likes his clothes and his accessories, but that’s not really what’s important to him. Really? Yeah. He likes music and poetry and art. Something you have in common. Well, he’ll need all that while he’s there… to keep his spirits up. I can see why spencer values his friendship with you so much. I’m very glad that he has you.


trina! Everywhere I go, there you are. Not anymore. I was just leaving. Thank you again, mayor collins. Oh, no, no. Thank you for coming over. I really enjoyed talking with you. Goodbye. Bye-bye.

[ Trina chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ] I think that belongs to you. How’s spencer? Okay. Did he say if he needed anything? Actually, there’s something. Something we both need. Could I help with that? Thanks, but I’ve got this. I’m gonna turn in, though. Early start tomorrow. For your internship at spring ridge?

[ Beep ] No, there is a really important errand I have to run in the morning first. I appreciate your chivalry. It’s rough out there. Phew. No kidding.

[ Laughs ] I was just telling my sister it’s easier being single. Not that it stops her from trying to set me up. I don’t have a sister, but I have well-meaning friends who are constantly trying to push me out of my comfort zone. Hence, the dating app. Oh, you plan on firing that up again soon? Based on tonight, I’m gonna go with…never!

[ Both laugh ] Maybe casual dating just isn’t in the stars for me. Oh, my god. Did that sound mystical?

[ Both laugh ] Uh, well, I hope not, because that would be a real waste. You’re cool. You’re smart. You’re beautiful. Well, you’re gallant and handsome. And teal is definitely your color. Along with shining armor. To never saying never. Never say never. There is, uh, one thing I can tell you about lucas. He really hopes you’ll be able to build a new life and be happy. I hope for that, too. Uh — [ Chuckles ] And judging by that, I guess, uh, anything is possible.

[ Carly and britt laughing ] Wow. Whoo! What are you doing? I’ll pay. I’ll — no. You don’t have to get that. The drinks. It’s okay. It’s — listen. I want to do it. Sonny. Whatever happens, I want the best for you. I wish you nothing but happiness. Happiness… luck… and love. If carly moves forward with this divorce attorney… I’m not having it. It’s over. Done. Boom.

[ Sighs ] No, um… listen. I’m not leaving. You’re drinking. You’re talking like that. Nina. I’m fine. You can go.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Dramatic music ]

[ Deacon grunting ]

Deacon: Come on! Get–get up!

Brooke: Ridge! Ridge!

[ Ridge grunting ]

Brooke: Ridge! What are you doing? Stop it! Stop it! Deacon, are you all right? It was me, ridge. I was drunk! Deacon didn’t do a thing.

Ridge: He didn’t do a thing? He didn’t do a thing?

Brooke: Ridge, stop it! What are you doing?

Steffy: I honestly didn’t think brooke could surprise me anymore, but she really topped herself. Spending new year’s eve with deacon while my father was out of town, stranded in a snowstorm.

Hope: All right, you’re making it sound like an affair when it wasn’t, and it isn’T. It was one night. There was drinking. Mistakes were made.

Steffy: Oh, please. There is always an excuse for brooke. You know, my father could have been so happy with my mom, but instead he puts up with scandal after scandal with brooke. And now this? Deacon sharpe? I don’t think my father is going to stand for it. I have to believe brooke’s hold over him is coming to an end.

Taylor: Deacon came back that night. He didn’t leave until morning.

Ridge: Brooke wouldn’t do that to me.

Taylor: I don’t expect you to take my word for it. Go ask your wife.

Sheila: You must be psychic.

[ Taylor sighing ]

Taylor: Excuse me.

Sheila: You picked the exact right time to come home.

Taylor: The right time to come home? I’m not sure what that means. But, why are you here, sheila?

Sheila: I just– I just wanted to come over and tell you how excited I was for you. And, in case you didn’t know already, I am team taylor all the way.

Taylor: Happy for me, why?

Sheila: I spoke to deacon. So, I know all about brooke’s latest infidelity, which can only benefit you.&

Hope: I know how you feel, steffy. You barely tolerate my mother because you blame her for ridge leaving your family when in fact, ridge chose my mother. And, I think you underestimate his commitment to her and his ability to forgive her. She messed up.

Steffy: Come on, hope. Stop with the justifications. Your mom reverted to her old ways. She gets bored, I guess and she wants to shake things up by cheating on my dad. How can you defend what brooke did with deacon?

Deacon: Brooke, can you help me up?

[ Deacon grunting ] Okay. All right, thanks.

Ridge: Isn’t it funny? You rush in here and the first thing you do is check on deacon.

Brooke: It’s not what I’m doing, ridge. I’m trying to keep you from tearing each other apart!

Ridge: This guy got drunk with you.

Deacon: I tried to stop her–

Ridge: Shut up! What kind of a man does that? Drink with an alcoholic? Just so you can slither into her bed. And, what kind of a woman defends a man like that? Please, no more. Please.

Allergies don’t have to be

scary.

Sheila: And, poor ridge. When I think about everything that he’s gone through over the years, the blows to his pride delivered by the one person who promised to honor him.

Taylor: Sheila, I don’t feel comfortable standing here and bashing brooke with you–

Sheila: And, you know what? I–I wouldn’t expect you to. You’re a psychiatrist. It’s your job to stay neutral. And, just for the record, I am not bashing brooke. I am–I’m simply saying that the truth. I mean, come on, you know better than anybody how many times brooke cheated on ridge and how deep he dug to try and forgive her. And he did, and he would take her back just to have to do it all over again.

Taylor: Sheila, it’s ridge’s life. He makes his own choices.

Sheila: Yeah. Well, I’ll bet you there are a few that he’s– he’s wishing he hadn’t made as–as we’re speaking here. Ridge should have stayed with you, taylor.

Taylor: Well, thank you. I–I guess.

Sheila: You’re good. That calm demeanor, not giving anything away but I know underneath, you have got to be so excited. Your wishes might finally come true.

Taylor: My wishes? What wish?

Sheila: You’re still in love with ridge, taylor. Anyone can see it. I get it and you have history together. Why wouldn’t you want to reunite your family? And now that brooke did her– I just– I feel really confident that you and ridge are going to find your way back to one another.

Steffy: You’re twisting yourself in knots because you’re trying to justify all the shady things deacon has done because he is your father. But, can you really look me in the eye and say that what deacon and brooke did wasn’t a betrayal of my father, that they didn’t disrespect him? Deacon slept in my father’s bed. And you’re going to stand there and defend your mom for allowing that?

Hope: My mother relapsed after years of sobriety. Her judgment was impaired. She doesn’t even remember half of that night, and she’s been torn up about the entire thing.

Steffy: I understand that she relapsed, but that’s still no excuse for brooke and deacon hooking up.

Hope: Are you really going to stand there and act all high and mighty when you too have made mistakes that you regret?

Steffy: This could have been avoided. My father warned you. He warned brooke to stay away from deacon. But brooke ignored it. And, now this happened.

Hope: My father came to see me on new year’s eve, to be with my family. He was at my mother’s house because of me. So, if you want to blame anyone for what happened that night, then blame me.

Steffy: I’m sorry, but I can’t let brooke off the hook. And I can’t imagine my father will either.

Deacon: I think we’ve established that you’re angry–

Ridge: Sut up! Or I swear we’re going to finish this right now–

Brooke: No! Ridge!

Ridge: Why do you do this? Why? Do you not see this dude for who he is, what he’s done to your life? He’s ruined it almost twice already. You don’t remember what he did to bridget? What he did to you? Your relationship with your daughter? How do you stand there and defend this guy?

Brooke: I don’t want you fighting. It doesn’t do any good.

Deacon: Look, nothing happened. Doesn’t that count for anything?

Ridge: Oh, it counts for everything. That’s why you were drinking by yourself? I forgot.

Brooke: You can’t even comprehend how sorry I am for what happened that night. And, I don’t even know how it all happened, but I have to own it.

Ridge: I don’T.

Brooke: What?

Ridge: I don’t want this. I–I… I can’t take this anymore.

Brooke: Ridge, what are you saying?

Steffy: You’re wrong about your father, hope. Deacon hasn’t changed. He’s a snake, he’s manipulative, he takes advantage. That doesn’t make your mom less guilty. She still opened the door to that train wreck.

Hope: For me. She did that for me.

Steffy: Your mom got drunk and she had deacon spend the night in my father’s bed. Stop trying to defend her. It’s embarrassing.

Hope: You know what? Ultimately, your opinion doesn’t matter. It’s only ridge’s reaction that counts.

Steffy: You think he’ll forgive her?

Hope: I hope he does, yeah.

Steffy: Yeah. I mean, why would this time be any different, right? Your mother will do what she always does: She’ll cry. She’ll beg for forgiveness. She’ll say she’ll never do it again. She wasn’t really thinking. But, she and my father are destiny. But, she will do it again. She will play my father for a fool. It’s not right. My father is a good man and he deserves respect. He won’t get that from brooke, but he will always get that from my mother.

Taylor: I want to be very clear, sheila. I am not a home wrecker.

Sheila: Not like some people.

Taylor: I am not out to break up ridge and brooke’s marriage.

Sheila: That’s the beauty of it, though. You don’t even have to. You can just sit there and let brooke destroy her own marriage. Wait for ridge to come back to your arms. That’s what I’m talking about. Timing. I wish I could just sit at your feet and learn.

Taylor: God, sheila. What are you talking about? I–I–I came back because I–I missed my kids and my grandkids and I–

Sheila: Okay. Well, fine, fine. You can call it whatever you want. Timing, fate, it’s all the same. Fact is this you came back at a very precarious time in ridge’s marriage. Maybe his destiny isn’t with brooke.

Taylor: Ridge and brooke have faced many challenges in their relationship, so.

Sheila: Yeah… but everyone has a limit.

Taylor: Brooke made a mistake.

Sheila: You think?

Taylor: Yep, she made a mistake. She was drinking, she’s an alcoholic. She didn’t–

[ Phone dinging ] She didn’t know what she was doing.

Sheila: Yeah, I’m well aware of that. Now, inevitably, one thing leads to another. All the little pieces falling into place.

Brooke: Ridge, please. You have to know that I wasn’t myself that night. I was weak. I take full responsibility. I’m an alcoholic. I fell off the wagon.

Ridge: You didn’t take full responsibility. You didn’t tell me what happened.

Brooke: That’s because I knew exactly how you would react. Hurt and disappointed and mad at me, going after deacon!

Ridge: Poor deacon. Is he gonna be okay?

Brooke: Deacon is hope’s father and you are my husband. I don’t want either one of you to end up in the hospital or worse. He did nothing wrong.

Ridge: What do you mean he did nothing wrong? What does that mean to you?

Brooke: Look, I know you’re disillusioned with me. I get it. I am disillusioned with myself. And, I don’t know why I had that uncontrollable urge to drink, but I did. And, I don’t think I’ll ever find out. God, I just wish I could take it all back!

Ridge: So do I.

Brooke: But you said that you still love me. You said that we can get through this.

Ridge: I do love you. But you’re with him. And you didn’t tell me. We had to find out from a little boy. What am I supposed to do with that?

Brooke: I just want you to be able to forgive me. Please. I can’t imagine my life without you, ridge. Let’s just– let’s just work through this, okay? We can get past this. We can. Together. After my dvt blood clot…

Steffy: I’m sensing you have some disdain for my father.

Hope: What? No. I love ridge.

Steffy: Really? Well, where was all the love when he warned you about putting your faith in your ex-con of a father?

Hope: Ridge was judging my dad on his past when I was taking him at his word in the present. And, it’s worked out well for us.

Steffy: Awesome. Great for you and deacon. Too bad for my father. His heart’s going to be broken again.

Hope: Steffy, I am sorry that ridge got hurt. I am sorry that my mother fell off the wagon with deacon. And I am sorry that I pushed too hard to make everyone let deacon in.

Steffy: I think you should push harder, pull out all the stops. Go on a real campaign and get your parents back together. Because I think very soon brooke is going to be free. My father’s done with this.

Taylor: It is a bit of a mystery. You know, I– brooke–brooke was really committed to living a sober life. I mean, of course, alcoholics backslide. It happens. But I don’t know. Brooke was doing so well for so long. I just don’t know what happened.

Sheila: Well, like they say, “how the mighty fall”.

Taylor: You know, there– there had to have been a trigger. Something.

Sheila: Could that trigger have been deacon?

Taylor: Yes. Yes, of course. Especially if they drank together. Or not. I don’t know. We’ll probably never know why brooke relapsed.

Sheila: Does it really matter? Because the damage has already been done?

Brooke: I won’t give up on us, ridge. I won’T. And you can’t either.

Ridge: I told you I didn’t want this fool in their lives, coming and going whenever he pleased.

Brooke: Oh, god, nothing happened!

Ridge: Nothing happened? He slept in my bed! That is something–

Deacon: Please, don’t lash–

Ridge: Shut up! Stay out of it!

Brooke: Ridge, please!

Ridge: “Oh, please, ridge”. I’m sorry. Did I yell at your boy? I’m so sorry! Why can’t I ever “please,” I said–didn’t I say to you, “please, please keep this wrecking ball away from us? He’s gonna ruin everything”. You know, I have a breaking point. But you just kept going. Right? Maybe you didn’t hear me. Maybe you just didn’t care.

Brooke: No, of course I care. I was trying to support my daughter.

Ridge: How is– how is making out with this idiot on new year’s eve supporting your daughter? Explain that to me! Why couldn’t you just wait for me? Why am I not enough for you?

Brooke: You are, you are enough for me. You’re the only man that I love, ridge.

Ridge: I know I’m the only man you love unless bill spencer comes around the corner flexing at you. Or this clown comes and tells you he’s always loved you. I love you so much but this hurts and I don’t know what to do.

Brooke: I am so sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I didn’T. I’m so angry with myself, I’m so ashamed. I don’t know what made me drink in the first place. And, I just need you to forgive me, ridge, please. This one time. I can’t live without you.

Ridge: You chose deacon over me.

Brooke: No. No, I didn’t do that, no.

Ridge: I told you he was gonna put a wedge between us. I told you he was going to ruin everything. And, you invited him into our house. Into our bed, logan. Our bed. It’s gone. There’s nothing sacred. I love you so much. But, I’m tired and I can’t– I can’t do this anymore.

Brooke: No. No, don’T. Don’t–don’t go ridge, please. Ridge, I love you. Please don’t walk out! Damn it!

Ridge: Get up.

Deacon: Okay. All right. I deserve that. You get one free one. But you’ll never put your hands on me again.

Ridge: You violated my wife, our home and our bed. It ends today.

Taylor: I know about you and deacon.

Brooke: Yeah? Is that why you’re here? To rub it in my face?

Taylor: No, brooke. I’m concerned on so many levels.

Brooke: Sure you are, taylor. If you really were concerned, you would’ve come to me before running to ridge. You would’ve given me the chance to tell him myself.

Taylor: Is that what you’re telling yourself? Do not make me the bad guy in your story, brooke. You’ve had all this time to tell ridge the truth–

Brooke: And I was going to.

Taylor: And you didn’T.

Brooke: I just was about to, taylor. But guess what? You beat me to it.

[ Hope sighing ]

Brooke: I really thought

I could keep this secret,

but it’s tearing me apart.

I mean, ridge and I pride

ourselves on being honest

with each other,

no matter how painful.

Hope: So, you’re really

going to tell ridge

all of it?

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: Yes.

I mean, what choice do

I have? Drinking with deacon

and the kiss…

spending the night together?

He needs to know, hope.

He deserves to know.

Steffy: Long day?

Hope: Why do you ask?

Steffy: You seem preoccupied.

Hope: I’m working.

Steffy: It’s not, uh, more than that?

Hope: What do you mean, steffy? Would you like it to mean more that?

Steffy: No. I actually feel kind of sorry for you.

Hope: Sorry for me, why?

Steffy: Because of who your mother is.

Hope: Excuse me?

Steffy: Brooke’s dirty, little secret? It’s no longer a secret.

Hope: I have no idea what you’re talking about, steffy.

Steffy: Save it. We all know about brooke and deacon ringing in the new year together.

Hope: Well, that’s hardly news. My dad was invited to spend time with me and liam and the kids.

Steffy: And brooke.

Hope: Well, yeah. Obviously. My mom was there. It’s her house.

Steffy: It’s my father’s house too.

Hope: Okay. I see the point you’re trying to make and yes, ridge actually already knows that deacon was there that night.

Steffy: But brooke failed to mention a few things that happened that night. But it’s all cleared up now. My mom, thomas and I, we know all the details. So does my dad. My mom told him.

Brooke: I’m not proud of myself, taylor.

Taylor: Yeah, I imagine not.

Brooke: I’m not. I’m actually ashamed of what I did with deacon. I don’t like to hurt ridge. I don’t want to let him down, but I’m not going to defend myself to you, of all people. I don’t owe you that.

Taylor: No, I didn’t say you did. You owe it to ridge. You owe ridge a lot of things, actually, brooke. Fidelity being at the top of that list.

Brooke: Yes, of course. And my husband and I will work through that together. We don’t need your input. It was a kiss. It was a moment of weakness that I take full responsibility for.

Taylor: Do you, brooke? Do you really? Or are you just saying that because you got caught.

Ridge: All right. No more lies. What did you do to my wife?

Deacon: I didn’t do anything to her. We kissed once!

Ridge: Did you spike her drink?

Deacon: What?

Ridge: Did you slip her something? Like drugs, alcohol–

Deacon: Whoa, whoa, whoa. What–are you–what do you–

Ridge: What did you do to my wife?

Deacon: Are you kidding me? No! Nothing! If you have copd, ask your doctor about breztri.

Steffy: Your mother was unfaithful to my father.

Hope: Trust me, she regrets the choices she made that night.

Steffy: I’m sure she does, now that she’s gotten caught.

Hope: My mother has been committed to her sobriety. I mean, we still don’t even know what triggered her to throw it all away.

Steffy: Well, she definitely threw away her marriage right along with it.

Hope: Well, I hope not. I hope ridge can find it within himself to forgive her.

Steffy: Mm. I wouldn’t hold your breath, hope. I think my father is fed up with brooke’s behavior. The drinking? He could forgive. But the cheating?

Hope: My mother has been wracked with guilt.

Steffy: She should be.

Hope: You know, you’re not in a place to judge. We both know that you’ve done things that you have regretted.

Steffy: Hope, this keeps happening. Decade after decade. At some point, you need to hold yourself accountable and your mom just doesn’t do that.

Hope: Well, she is now.

Steffy: My father has been really worried about brooke. He thought she was all out of sorts because she relapsed. But it wasn’t just that. She spent the night with deacon while my father was stranded in a snowstorm. Once again, brooke betrayed my father. But, I do think this is it. This will be the last time.

Taylor: I understand alcoholism, brooke. I do. It’s a constant battle. You can never let your guard down.

Brooke: My guard was up. This urge came out of nowhere.

Taylor: Okay, well, your actions speak for themselves. Turning to another man? Brooke, this is a pattern. This is a pattern that has been going on for years and years. Not too long ago, it was bill spencer, another one of ridge’s least favorite people.

Brooke: You know what? This isn’t a therapy session and I’m not one of your patients. I don’t need an analysis.

Taylor: Maybe you do. Maybe you do because I’m right. Do you see the theme here, brooke?

Brooke: Not sure what you’re getting at. I just thank god I don’t have to answer to you.

Taylor: No, you don’T. Just yourself. And ridge.

Brooke: Yes. Yes, of course. I still don’t know what happened on new year’s eve. I’ve been going over it in my head a thousand times. But, what would you care, right? You know, as a mental health professional, you really should have a little bit more empathy.

Taylor: Is that what I should do? That’s what I should do in this situation for you? Yeah, brooke, I’m trying. I really am.

Brooke: Deacon did spend the night and we only shared one kiss and none of that would’ve happened if there wasn’t alcohol involved. I wasn’t in my right mind, taylor. I–I don’t even know what it was that made me take that first sip.

Taylor: I do. It was you. You did it so you could have an excuse to cheat on ridge.

Ridge: You went after brooke. You got my wife drunk.

Deacon: No. She was drinking on her own. I tried to get her to stop.

Ridge: Oh, she just started drinking out of nowhere after all these years? Really?

Deacon: You know, you got a pretty good left hook, forrester. No, hope invited me over for new year’s eve. We had a nice family time. I left, I forgot my phone and I went back.

Ridge: So, because you came back, she threw her sobriety out the window?

Deacon: She was was already drinking. Eventually, I joined in, I admit it, all right? And I am sorry, but I didn’t spike her cocktail and I sure as hell didn’t drug her–

Ridge: Then what happened, deacon? What happened? How did you end up kissing my wife? Go with simparica trio it’s triple protection made simple!

Hope: I can see where this is heading, steffy.

Steffy: I can too, and it doesn’t look good for your mom.

Hope: See? Your mom this. My mom that. Look, I– I don’t want this to turn into another logan versus forrester debate.

Steffy: Of course you don’t because the logans always win.

Hope: That is not true.

Steffy: But it is though. Brooke has my father. Or so she thinks.

Hope: You’re really hoping this breaks them up, aren’t you?

Steffy: I just want my father to be happy. To be where he’s truly appreciated.

Hope: With taylor.

Steffy: I’m tired of watching my father struggle with a woman who always has one foot out the door.

Hope: My mom? Ridge is the love of her life. She had one bad night fueled by alcohol.

Steffy: It’s not just that. It’s more than deacon. It was the back and forth with my grandfather. With thorne. All the mistakes she made with bill. Like the list of affairs are like a mile long. We can’t pretend that’s not the case.

Hope: Like taylor has never hurt ridge? Because i can think of a few instances, but the point is, steffy, that we should not be keeping score or doing this tit for tat. We should just let them handle it themselves.

Steffy: I think my father will see that there’s only one way to handle this. By ending it today when he finally kicks her out once and for all.

Brooke: You are wrong about that, taylor.

Taylor: I–I don’t think I am, brooke.

Brooke: Wow. I am living this. This is my life. This is my marriage and nothing that occurred that night had anything to do with you whatsoever. Yet, you feel like you have the right come in here and lecture me.

Taylor: Yeah, see… ridge and I have children together and we have grandchildren. I will always care about his well being, always.

Brooke: Hm. I’m sure about that. And to go back to your little assumption, I didn’t drink that night to give myself permission to be with deacon. Something unusual took over me.

Taylor: Well, it certainly wasn’t your conscious, was it? This pattern has been going on for so long, brooke.

Brooke: Well, this is different. I haven’t had a pull to alcohol for so many years. It’s like it had control over me.

Taylor: Brooke, you said you’re not going to make excuses, but that’s what you’re doing. Y–you’re making excuses.

Brooke: Okay. Well, I don’t really care what you think, taylor. And I’m really sick of your judgements through the years. Please, ridge understands me and he trusts me.

Taylor: Does he?

Brooke: Yes, he does. He told me that he loves me and that we’re gonna work through this. I really hate to disappoint you. We’re gonna be fine.

Taylor: Speaking of ridge, where is he?

Ridge: You’ve always wanted brooke. Always. Even before you went to prison.

Deacon: We found ourselves alone unexpectedly. We started talking about the past, all right? The booze was flowing. We got caught up in the memories. We kissed once.

Ridge: Wow. You got my wife drunk, brought her up to her bed and then what happened?

To be a thriver with

metastatic breast cancer

Hope: It’s not right, steffy. Wishing for my mother and ridge’s marriage to end.

Steffy: I mean it, hope. I just want my father to be happy.

Hope: And you think that your mom is better for him than mine?

Steffy: Did you ever consider that might be true? My mother is a loving, reliable force in his life. In all of our lives. She’s really incredible. I mean, if your mom truly loved my father, she wouldn’t be looking at another man. She had deacon spend the night. The man that my father despises. For you to justify her decisions is like, it’s unreal, but I’m not surprised.

Hope: You know, no matter how you may feel about us, your dad loves my mom.

Steffy: Yeah, there’s no denying that. I’ll never understand it, especially when there’s another woman he can turn to.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. Here we go again. Do you ever hold ridge accountable for all those times that he left and his indiscretions? Or does he always get a free pass?

Steffy: My father doesn’t claim to be perfect.

Hope: Oh, and my mom does?

Steffy: We all know how manipulative brooke can be when it comes to getting her way.

Hope: Okay, you know what? Stop. Just stop. Stop bashing my mom. She’s never going to do anything like this again.

Steffy: I’ve heard that before. I’m just heartbroken for my father and I pray that he’s had enough of brooke. He’ll drop brooke and he’ll go back to my mother, where he should’ve been all along.

Ridge: You know it makes me sick, right? The thought of you and my wife in our bed?

Deacon: You know, I–I’m really trying to be patient with you here. I get that this would be a lot easier if you thought that I did something criminal.

Ridge: I think everything you do is criminal.

Deacon: Not anymore. I didn’t force her to do anything.

Ridge: Brooke was compromised. You took advantage.

Deacon: We were both drinking! Nobody was a victim here! You wanna blame me? That’s fine. Don’t blame brooke.

Ridge: I’ll always blame you for everything! Tell me I’m wrong!

Deacon: You know what I’ll tell you? I’ll tell you this. I have held back on kicking your ass so many times because hope and brooke were around. Well, I don’t see them here. So either get out of here or make a move.

[ Both grunting ] All right, man. You had enough?

[ Both grunting ] Really?

[ Both grunting ] Come on! Get up! Get up!

Brooke: Ridge? Ridge?

[ Deacon grunting ] Oh, my god!

[ Glass shattering ] What are you doing? Stop it! Stop it! Deacon, are you all right? It was me, ridge. I was drunk. Deacon didn’t do a thing.

Ridge: He didn’t do a thing? He didn’t do a thing?

    Celebrity Big Brother is back tonight at 8/7c on CBS for another episode of the Head of Household competition and Nominations ceremony leading us to the next eviction on Monday night. Yes, it’s Super Bowl Sunday, and yes, CBS thought it was a good idea to put this episode up against that instead of running it last night unopposed…
    So anyway, we just saw Kirkpatrick get evicted and the HGs head outside for an Endurance HOH comp. The odds appear stacked against the big target of Carson and Cynthia. Time to watch it all playout, or if you can wait then check our HOH spoilers for the winner.
    Once the HOH battle is played out then it’ll be off to the Nominations which took place on Saturday (get the Noms spoilers here) but oh wow, what a day of Feeds we had before that. The house has turned upside down as the power shift has just seen itself shifted again. Absolutely bizarre turn of events in the game and it’s been an impressive dodging of certain demise in the game. That’s Big Brother for you though!
    I imagine we’ll have to see some of that going into the Noms and if we do it’ll all be part of tonight’s episode. Keep an eye on those Feeds today in case things get even weirder, though I’m not sure if that’s even possible!
    Reminder: Next eviction will be Monday night (9/8c)!

    Celebrity Big Brother is back tonight at 8/7c on CBS for another one-hour episode featuring Round 5’s Head of Household competition and Nominations ceremony putting the pieces in place for Friday’s upcoming eviction.
    Shanna was just sent out the door as Carson narrowly avoided keeping an ally in the game who was helping to progress and protect his game… wait, what? Anyway, his time isn’t long now anyway. As the outgoing HOH Carson will need to watch this next competition from the sidelines as the other HGs plot his demise.
    It’s just a one-hour episode tonight but two hours on Friday for the live eviction, so we’ll be hustling along to fill the show tonight. If you can’t wait for all the results then check out our Spoilers for who won HOH and who was nominated in Round 5 of Celebrity Big Brother 3.
    The nominations were an interesting choice this round and actually leaves open a very specific circumstance where things could go sideways for the HOH, but the overall chances of that happening are slim when it comes down to it. We won’t see all that play out until Friday night, but we should be getting the spoilers this week. You never know!
    We’re down to just six Houseguests left and one of them will walk away with a huge quarter-million-dollar prize.

    Celebrity Big Brother is back tonight (8/7c) for another two-hour live eviction episode following the Power of Veto events featuring the current nominees Carson and Lamar. One of these two HGs could be heading home next unless the Veto gets in the way.
    Todd took over as the host with the most taste, compared to the relatively tasteless Todrick apparently, and quickly executed moves most in line with what Miesha would want, because hey, it’s Miesha’s house and the rest of these HGs are just hanging out there!
    Carson has been a top target all season and without Shanna’s help for protection, he’s in a perilous position again this week. If he doesn’t pull off the Veto then he’s a top pick for the next eviction vote. And of course, with Cynthia not on the Block with her partner in crime, the perfect scenario for them would be Cynthia winning the Veto and keeping them both safe. But that also requires Cynthia to deliver a win.
    Can’t wait for the results and want some Big Brother spoilers now? Get ahead and find out who won the Veto this round on CBB3.
    It’s a two-hour episode of Big Brother tonight starting at 8/7c with the Veto replaying from earlier this week and the Veto meeting likely live then the eviction vote of course delivered live in action. Someone should go ahead and have that talk with Lamar about what that means.

    We’re still ramping up on the four straight nights of Celebrity Big Brother after last night’s live eviction but thankfully it’s just a one-hour episode and a little more manageable. That means we’ve got another on Sunday (8/7c) and then Monday (9/8c) for a two-hour live eviction. Busy few days and then it’ll be time for the finale on Wednesday, Feb. 23rd at 8/7c.
    Julie has promised “never before seen” moments for us. What big moments do you think will make the cut for tonight’s clipshow? Of course, the big house flip against Shanna will be there and the fight it drew out. Then we’ve got cardgate when Lamar sabotaged Todrick’s plans for solitaire. And probably Kattan’s sudden departure, if they’ll return to that moment.

    2/19/22 (Saturday) (10:00 PM) on CBS. – A CALIFORNIA MOM DISAPPEARS WITHOUT A TRACE – DID HER HUSBAND HAVE A HEX PUT ON HER SO SHE WOULDN’T LEAVE?
    “48 Hours” Investigates in “Searching for Maya Millete” Preview
    48 HOURS and contributor Jonathan Vigliotti investigate the disappearance of a young California mother and wife, and the case against her husband, in “Searching for Maya Millete,” to be broadcast Saturday, Feb. 19 (10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+.
    Maya Millete disappeared from her Southern California home in January 2021. Suspicion soon fell on her husband, Larry Millete. He told her family various stories of why his wife was gone, including that she went hiking. From the outside, the Milletes looked like a wonderful family. What investigators learned, however, was that the couple was going through marital problems. Investigators also say Larry Millete had been contacting spellcasters to have a hex put on his wife so she wouldn’t leave. In October 2021, Larry Millete was charged with his wife’s murder. He has pled not guilty.
    “He went on the internet, found a website that does witchcraft, casts spells,” says Billy Little, an attorney and former criminal defense investigator for the Navy who helped Maya Millete’s family early in the search.
    “There are people on the internet that’ll sell you for five bucks, you know, how to make a spell that will get her to be attracted to you … to bind your marriage in blood,” says Little.
    48 HOURS and Vigliotti report the latest in the case through interviews with family and friends and the continuing search to find her.
    “I want her to be found,” says Maricris Drouaillet, Maya Millete’s sister. “I want to bring her home to her kids, to our families.”
    How can a young mother of three simply vanish? Larry Millete maintains that his wife left on her own and started a life somewhere else – a claim Maya Millete’s s friends strongly refute.
    “Maya loved her kids There’s no way she would have up and left,” says friend Claudia Julao.
    “There’s somebody out there that knows something, that’s seen something. … They should come forward,” says Julao. “Have it in your heart to help us bring her home.”
    48 HOURS: “Searching for Maya Millete” is produced by Asena Basak. Cindy Cesare is the development producer. Hannah Vair is a producer, and Lauren Turner Dunn is the associate producer. Ken Blum, Jud Johnston, Atticus Brady and Gary Winter are the editors. Lourdes Aguiar is the senior producer. Nancy Kramer is the executive story editor. Judy Tygard is the executive producer.

Interview with Lorna Watson, Jerry Iwu, Max Brown and Will Trotter

TV Interview!

Lorna Watson, Jerry Iwu, Max Brown and Will Trotter of "Sister Boniface Mysteries" on BritBox

Interview with stars Lorna Watson, Jerry Iwu, Max Brown and producer Will Trotter of “Sister Boniface Myseries” on Britbox by Suzanne 2/9/22

BritBox logoThe Britbox Winter TCA panel started with the “Sister Boniface Mysteries,” which had premiered February 8, the day before, in the U.S. (in the UK, it premieres March 11 on the UKTV Drama channel). It’s a fun, quirky show, despite being a murder mystery. We had all three major cast members in attendance, as well as the producer, Will Trotter.

Sister Boniface (played by “The IT Crowd”‘s Lorna Watson) is an unusual nun who drives a Vespa around the small town of “Great Slaughter” and helps the local police solve murders. In the spirit of shows like “Murder, She Wrote” and “Grantchester,” this small town happens to have many murders. Although the series takes place in the 1960’s, Sister B. has advanced knowledge of forensics and a PhD in chemistry. The policemen, DI Sam Gillespie (played by Max Brown, whom you may recognize from “Beauty and the Beast” as well as many other shows) and DS Felix Livingstone (played by Jerry Iwu, “Sex Education”), are grateful to have the good sister’s help (as unusual as it is). The show is smartly written and is not only a good mystery series but explores issues that are still relevant today, such as sexism, racism, class division and more. However, the show is not at all preachy or heavy-handed.

Although Sister Boniface is very intelligent, Watson believes that she is quite innocent and has a “childlike element” as well as often being “silly.” Watson admits that she, too, can sometimes be “surprisingly naïve.” She has never played such a smart character before, so it was a “real joy” to put on the habit again. Getting into character was easy because the nun’s habit helped so much. She dubbed it a “quite transformative costume.” She also shared that the costume is quite freeing because she doesn’t have to spend much time in makeup. Before shooting, she spoke with the other characters playing nuns about where they would place their hands and so forth.

At Trotter’s urging, Watson told us an amusing story. When the director of the first episode, Paul Gibson, saw her, he acted like he didn’t know her because she was dressed as herself, not as Sister Boniface. He had no idea how she really looked out of the nun’s habit. He later came by and apologized. Lorna is hopeful that others will be the same way, so that she will be able to keep her anonymity if she runs into fans.

Watson told us that she had only ridden a Vespa once before, while on vacation. It took her quite a while to get used to driving it on the show to make it look natural. She also did a wheelie, but not on purpose. Brown joked with her about running the Vespa into his police car and how huge the Vespa’s sidecar is. Iwu joked that he “never felt terrified” while riding in the sidecar with her.

Iwu’s character Felix arrives in town in the first episode, expecting to be working in London, much to his disappointment. Eventually, the mistake is corrected, and he heads towards London, but of course, predictably, he ends up staying (I don’t think that’s really a spoiler). Not much else in the show is predictable, I’m glad to say. My only other observation about Felix is that he certainly wears a lot of suits for someone who came from a tropical country like Bermuda! Every TV show seems to have someone like Felix that arrives new into the situation so that he (and we) can be told what’s going on. Iwu told us that Felix observes about the town, “this is insane. Why is everyone killing themselves or killing each other?”

Brown noted that they all had great chemistry. The series started filming with episode 4, but they all “fell into our characters and our relationships” immediately. Watson agreed that they did “form a bond very quickly”. Brown observed that having all of these characters around in nun’s habits made them all want to behave better on set, but Watson and the other nuns felt that it was a very relaxed set. Brown and Iwu joked that a group of nuns is called a “gaggle.”

The cast was asked which mysteries they liked to read or watch.  Brown told us that his favorite mysteries to read are the classic Sherlock Holmes stories, but he’s also looking forward to the upcoming Hugh Laurie series, “Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?” (which comes out this spring on Britbox). Iwu grew up with “Murder, She Wrote.” Watson grew up with “Columbo” and also enjoys the Miss Marple movies. She joked that now she can solve the mysteries with her “new forensic skills.”

Trotter observed that the combination of Watson’s “fabulous face,” which he described as “owl-like,” combined with the habit and the glasses, gave them a lot of character to work with. He said, somewhat facetiously, “the blinking of the eyes every now and again are just like little messages to the directors: cut there, cut there, closer there.” Her pushing her glasses up on her nose became part of the quirkiness of the character. He also spoke a little bit about why we love mysteries so much, particularly this type, which he called “cozy crime.”

Trotter assured us that the Catholic Church has been fully supportive of “Father Brown” and most likely will for this show, too, because it doesn’t put them in a bad light, and the nuns are three dimensional characters (not caricatures). Also, the show is very light and fun. It doesn’t have blood and gore or other dark things.

The convent in the series is shot at a school, “Princethorpe College,” which used to be a convent, so it looks authentic. It has a chapel and stained-glass windows. Trotter’s children went there because he lives nearby. The rest of the show is mostly “shot in the Cotswolds” which is also where “Father Brown” is shot. He praised the area, which is “fantastic” with many large churches, homes and “beautiful rolling countryside.” He called the area “timeless,” which makes it great for shooting this show, set 50 years ago. He explained that “all the stone is the same and the architecture is just beautiful.” It was made “in the 16th century and so on.” Watson was “super-excited” to be there and to see where Sister Boniface sleeps each night, and to see her crime lab/winery. Iwu praised the locations they use as “beautiful” but observed that the convent in particular has a calming effect.

At the very end of our interview, Trotter revealed that the series has been renewed for season two (or as the Brits call it, “Series 2”). Everyone was happy and excited to hear it. Don’t miss this wonderful series, especially if you love mysteries.

Photos from "Sister Boniface Mysteries" on Britbox

From the makers of Father Brown and Shakespeare & Hathaway – Private Investigators comes this light-hearted murder mystery series starring a Vespa driving, crime solving Catholic nun: Sister Boniface. It’s the 1960s and police forensics are rudimentary. Luckily the residents of Great Slaughter, nestled deep in the British countryside, have a secret weapon. Sister Boniface. This nun might be predisposed to forgive – but she’s also one hell of an amateur detective. If there’s evidence to be found, Boniface will find it, with a little help from dashing maverick DI Sam Gillespie and buttoned-up Bermudan DS Felix Livingstone, who’s horrified to be stuck in the eccentric world of Great Slaughter.

Interview with Letoya Luckett, Kierra Sheard-Kelly, Ta’Rhonda Jones and Drew Sidora

TV Interview!

panel for "Line Sisters" on Lifetime

Interview with Letoya Luckett, Kierra Sheard-Kelly, Ta’Rhonda Jones and Drew Sidora of “Line Sisters” on Lifetime by Suzanne 1/10/22

This was an interesting movie because it combined two popular Lifetime subjects: sorority girls and murder. I’d never heard of any of these actresses, although some of them looked very familiar. They had a lot of energy and were very fun in the panel, so it made things enjoyable.

MODERATOR: Hello, everyone. Our next panel is for “Line Sisters.” And today we have the cast of the film with us. Letoya Luckett, Kierra Sheard-Kelly, Ta’Rhonda Jones and Drew Sidora.

(All waving.)

DREW SIDORA: What up, y’all?

MODERATOR: Thank you all for being here. Our first question is for all of you, the whole cast. What drew each of you to your roles and how did you prepare for them?

LETOYA LUCKETT: Okay, I’ll go first.

DREW SIDORA: Yeah, you go first.

LETOYA LUCKETT: (Laughs.) I think for me it was like really jumping over the hurdle of fear for me and doing my first horror film. Val was kind of close to home because she had a real chill personality, very professional. She seemed to be kind of the one that every kind of — everyone’s drawn to confide in. And she just tried to take care of everyone and I kind of see that in myself sometimes, sometimes too much. But I think for me to be a part of a horror film was like oh my god I’m going to do it. And I’ve always wanted to be a part of a sorority and I think this is the closest I’m going to ever get. So yeah, that’s the reason why I was drawn to it.

TA’RHONDA JONES: I’m going to piggyback off of you, Toya.

DREW SIDORA: Yeah.

TA’RHONDA JONES: Because I think that was the same thing for me. It was like oh…

LETOYA LUCKETT: Yeah.

TA’RHONDA JONES: … I get to be a sorority sister? Okay, cool. I’m in. And then, too, my character Simone, she was from Chicago and it was very similar to my background. A little rough around the edges and things like that, always being reckless. So I was like yeah, why not? Sure.

DREW SIDORA: Yeah. I think we could all say that. I think my dream of being in a sorority, I was like, oh yes, let me tap into this. And also working with African American women that we can come together in sisterhood. I think that that’s something powerful to be a part of. And you really want to showcase that. So any time I get an opportunity to work alongside beautiful women, I definitely jumped on it. But my character Dominique, she’s a lot of fun. You know, she’s fun. She’s quirky. And she loves her palo santos, her meditation and I just felt really connected to that. You know, her positivity and just always looking on the bright side of things. I felt like that was a place that I was in my life that I wanted to try to project in that moment. So I gravitated to her instantly.

KIERRA SHEARD-KELLY: I second all of what they said. All of the (inaudible). I wanted to be a part of the sorority, too. Cassandra was a woman of faith and so that is what I am. So I was the one that was praying the sisters through on god’s train. Because that usually is what I am doing. And I am a sister or women’s empowerment advocate so that was really just my thing, too. And these women are amazing, every last one of them, so I was excited to just glean from each and every one of them myself.

MODERATOR: That’s awesome. Thank you, guys. Our next question is from the Hollywood Times.

QUESTION: Hi there. Are any of you actually part of a sorority?

TA’RHONDA JONES: No.

DREW SIDORA: No.

(All laugh.)

DREW SIDORA: Only APO now.

TA’RHONDA JONES: Yeah, exactly.

KIERRA SHEARD-KELLY: Oh.

QUESTION: Okay, so another question. During the filming process, did any of you actually get frightened for real?

TA’RHONDA JONES: What? Yes.

KIERRA SHEARD-KELLY: I did.

LETOYA LUCKETT: I did.

DREW SIDORA: Yeah, yeah.

KIERRA SHEARD-KELLY: The water, I think all of the sisters could swim. I couldn’t swim so I kept looking back at them like, y’all going to help me out or something? So I was really nervous about that. And I was actually in the process of — my grandfather was sick and I just lost him to COVID. And so I was really drawing that passion and that fear from that space to kind of have me drop in. But that was my experience behind and in the scenes.

QUESTION: Oh yeah. Sorry. All right, thank you, ladies.

MODERATOR: Thank you.

KIERRA SHEARD-KELLY: (Inaudible)

MODERATOR: Our next question is from Suzanne from “TV Meg”.

QUESTION: Hi, ladies. Did any of you know each other before filming or had you worked together before?

TA’RHONDA JONES: No.

LETOYA LUCKETT: Yes.

TA’RHONDA JONES: But it felt like it. Not for me, but it felt like. I feel like I’ve been knowing these girls for a long time because the chemistry was out of this world when we first linked up. So it was amazing.

DREW SIDORA: Absolutely.

LETOYA LUCKETT: Absolutely. Kierra and I actually — my first film ever, “Preacher’s Kid,” we played somewhat like best friends. We sang in the same choir together.

KIERRA SHEARD-KELLY: Yeah.

LETOYA LUCKETT: So it was so cool. And I’m a huge fan of hers. I listen to her and her worship music and all of that daily, so to be in this space with her and to share the screen with her was an honor once again.

KIERRA SHEARD-KELLY: The same. It was an honor for me, too. I’m a fan of all of the ladies and LETOYA, too. But one of the cooler things was like LETOYA said we were sisters or friends before so we were friends again. And it felt like a family reunion for me.

LETOYA LUCKETT: Yeah.

KIERRA SHEARD-KELLY: Because I also had the opportunity to work with Drew as well in a film called “Blessed and Cursed.” So it felt like a reunion. And then Ta’Rhonda just felt like the cousin that just…

DREW SIDORA: You always wanted.

LETOYA LUCKETT: Always.

KIERRA SHEARD-KELLY: So yes.

QUESTION: What about any of the crew or the other actors on the show, the movie?

TA’RHONDA JONES: No. The only person I was connected to was one of the guys, one of the Lifetime execs at the time because he was the one who actually offered me the role. But that was about it. Other than that, we didn’t know anybody. But honestly, it literally felt like Kierra said, family reunion because everybody literally just, I don’t know. It was like this unison.

DREW SIDORA: Instant connection, yeah, yeah. It was.

LETOYA LUCKETT: Shout out to Swirl Films. I’ve worked with them several times so.

DREW SIDORA: Yeah, same here. Swirl Films.

DREW SIDORA: Yeah, absolutely. They always provide a very family-oriented feel.

LETOYA LUCKETT: Yes.

DREW SIDORA: So that’s what I love and I would work with them forever.

LETOYA LUCKETT: Absolutely.

QUESTION: Okay.

MODERATOR: All right. Thank you so much, ladies.

KIERRA SHEARD-KELLY: I was getting ready to add. I thought it was also kind of awesome that we actually bonded as sisters. You know how when sisters know, okay this sister she ain’t on today so we going to leave her alone.

(Laughs.)

KIERRA SHEARD-KELLY: We started picking up on each other’s energy.

DREW SIDORA: That is so true. Oh my god.

LETOYA LUCKETT: Facts.

DREW SIDORA: That is so funny.

QUESTION: That’s awesome. Thank you.

MODERATOR: Thanks, you guys. Our next question is from Noah Wilson.

QUESTION: Hello, everyone. Happy press day for “Line Sisters.” Yeah.

(Cheering.)

QUESTION: Come on, ladies. Let’s do a happy dance.

(All doing happy dance.)

QUESTION: On the Zoom. Oh I love it.

(Laughs.)

QUESTION: All right, ladies. I want to ask y’all, what were some of the most dramatic or intense scenes for all of you when shooting “Line Sisters” as this movie goes, based around four sorority sisters who reunite at a black Greek weekend?

DREW SIDORA: For me, it was the snake. The snake. I thought they were going to have, I don’t know in my mind I thought it was going to be like a robotic prop snake.

LETOYA LUCKETT: Uh uh.

DREW SIDORA: And when they brought that thing out, I was like wait a minute. And I had to lay next to a real snake. I’ve never done a horror movie so for me as this is my introduction with a snake, I mean I felt like a G after. I was like I got this. Like that scream and that reaction, that was all a hundred percent real because I was absolutely…

QUESTION: I couldn’t do it. I do not like a snake.

DREW SIDORA: Yeah, yeah.

LETOYA LUCKETT: I would say for me the scene where we come face-to-face with the killer finally. And we’re in the basement and it was such a dark moment. And I just remember before we actually started shooting how everybody just like settled in to their, you know, their space, everything, their character. And it was super –duper quiet. And then you just heard us weeping all of us individually. And in order to was super tough. I don’t know why. I think everybody was, you know, having their own thing going on at the time, but I feel like that was one of the most emotional scenes for all of us and probably one of the darker scenes for all of us. And my girl that plays that role, the role of the killer, she nailed it. I was like, “Sis!”. (Claps.)

DREW SIDORA: She had us really spooked.

LETOYA LUCKETT: I was like I was shook.

DREW SIDORA: I was really afraid.

LETOYA LUCKETT: I was shook for real.

DREW SIDORA: Yeah.

LETOYA LUCKETT: Yeah. That was super intense.

TA’RHONDA JONES: Yeah, same, Toya. But I think it was more so the physical. Whenever somebody, we had to punch, kick, stunts, this, that. And sometimes, you know, in real life it’s don’t touch me. Don’t hit me because I’ll hit you back for real. (Laughs.) And I think trying to like pull back from reality, acting, reality, acting, take it back. I think that was more intense for me because it gets a little physical sometimes.

DREW SIDORA: Yeah.

KIERRA SHEARD-KELLY: And I’m sorry I don’t mean to toot our own horn, but I can say I feel like we delivered that sister piece because for me when I heard one sister speaking up for me, like oh she got my back. Or if I heard her crying over there, I would even feed off, like “What you crying about?” But we had to stay in that space. So it really was a sister moment that we, like the movie had us to drop into and it had us appreciate somebody having your back. Like if your blood not there, you got some other sisters that will definitely look out.

DREW SIDORA: Yeah.

KIERRA SHEARD-KELLY: And I think that…

LETOYA LUCKETT: Absolutely.

KIERRA SHEARD-KELLY: …exudes through the film as well.

DREW SIDORA: Absolutely.

QUESTION: Thank you, guys. I appreciate it. Y’all have a good day.

LETOYA LUCKETT: You, too. Thank you.

MODERATOR: Thank you. Our next question is from Starry Constellation Magazine.

QUESTION: Hi, ladies. This is such an intense film. How did you all shake off a long day of shooting?

TA’RHONDA JONES: I think with the cast, they made it easy for you to shake it off.

KIERRA SHEARD-KELLY: Yes.

TA’RHONDA JONES: Because everybody’s personality was just so grounded and friendly and welcoming. And I think it was just like all right we’re done. All right, time to go home.

LETOYA LUCKETT: Mm-hmm, yes.

TA’RHONDA JONES: Or where are we going next? Let’s go to dinner.

DREW SIDORA: Let’s go eat.

LETOYA LUCKETT: But you know what? So I was about to say (inaudible) but Ta’Rhonda created this — it was such a beautiful moment. We tried to do it during filming, but we ended up doing it on the last day.

DREW SIDORA: Yes.

LETOYA LUCKETT: Of shooting. And brought these beautiful lanterns and we wrote our dreams and aspirations that we had and we lit them and sent them into the sky. And it was just such a beautiful moment. We felt like a family. To experience something like that with people that we didn’t know for long, but in that moment it felt like we’ve known each other for years. I haven’t had that on a set before. To really set intentions with beautiful people and in such a wonderful moment. I still think about that moment. I need another lantern by the way. I need one.

[OVERTALKING]

QUESTION: Five minutes into 2020 you need another lantern?

LETOYA LUCKETT: Yes.

DREW SIDORA: Mustard seeds.

LETOYA LUCKETT: The mustard seeds. I still got mine.

DREW SIDORA: Yes, me too. They’re in my purse. I mentioned they’re in my purse, yeah.

LETOYA LUCKETT: Well, thank you for that, mama.

DREW SIDORA: Yes.

TA’RHONDA JONES: You’re welcome.

DREW SIDORA: We love you, Ta’Rhonda. That meant everything.

QUESTION: Thank you, ladies.

MODERATOR: Our next question is going to be from Howard Benjamin.

QUESTION: My question is for LETOYA. How did your background in music prepare you for a life as an actress?

LETOYA LUCKETT: Well, that’s a good question. I think the best way to answer. It is kind of like surrendering to whatever the role calls for. You have to do that in music. Whatever the lyrics call for, I feel that I learned that from doing, well, being a singer since I was about 12 or five, but professionally 12. And I felt like because I was so rooted in that, I just took some of the things that I learned and brought it into this. But I will say it’s a whole new world. It really, really is. I don’t think — they have the similarities, but I think they’re totally different. I think with music, especially if you’re a writer, you’re writing from your experiences. Whereas with an actress, you’re portraying the character. You’re, you know, you’re representing that person. You’re living out one of their stories. And I mean I do that with songs sometimes. I do that with music sometimes, but I mean not in the way that you do with building a character. And I’ve been asked the question a lot. Like which do you prefer? I still don’t know. I still can’t decide. I’m in love with both of them. But yeah, I’m so glad that I’ve had so many wonderful experiences and not so wonderful experiences as a singer that I could, you know, bring into the acting space.

QUESTION: Thank you so much.

LETOYA LUCKETT: Thank you.

MODERATOR: Thank you. Our next question is from Right On Digital.

QUESTION: Hi, this is Cynthia Horner.

LETOYA LUCKETT: Cynthia.

QUESTION: I’ve met all of you before.

DREW SIDORA: Yes.

LETOYA LUCKETT: We love some Cynthia.

QUESTION: I want to tell you that I enjoyed the film especially since I am actually in a sorority. So therefore, it was…

LETOYA LUCKETT: How did we do?

QUESTION: I’m a member of Sigma Gamma Rho sorority. They wear blue and gold.

LETOYA LUCKETT: Wow.

QUESTION: But anyway, I’d like you all to talk a little bit more about the sisterhood since you all formed such an amazing bond. Sisterhood was mentioned briefly, but can each of you tell me what is your definition of sisterhood now that you’ve done this movie?

TA’RHONDA JONES: I think for me…

LETOYA LUCKETT: Don’t want to go first.

TA’RHONDA JONES: I’ll go. I think for me because I do have five sisters. There’s eight of us. My mother has eight children. And sisterhood for me is just simply being there. And I think in this movie it taught me here today, gone today. Not here today, gone tomorrow. It’s literally here today, gone today. So whatever it is that you got going on, or whatever mess you might got going on with this particular person, just put it behind you and just make amends especially if this person — if you really consider this person your sister, your blood, your family, whatever. And one thing for me, anybody who knows me knows that I’m all about like Kierra said, women’s empowerment, togetherness, unison. And sisterhood just simply means that unison, togetherness and just simply being there for one another.

DREW SIDORA: That’s it. (Claps.)

KIERRA SHEARD-KELLY: I think, too, for sisterhood, true sisterhood is when you can sit in a circle of women who are secure within themselves, but understand that we each have something different to offer. So there no need for a competition or a comparison. And I think that’s when it’s even more powerful for us to deliver. So literally the film had us to see you’re stepping on my line. And we had to let our sister speak. So it was so many moving components, you know, as a part of this experience that really showed us. Because I used to say, oh we’re going to take all of that with the sororities, but I see why that process is necessary. Because you have to prove yourself to your sister. And so it even had me to honor what the sororities or the fraternities, what you all do in your community. And then it’s like if I’m out of a job, you’re going to come through for me. And so I really loved how sisterhood was defined for me in this movie because it was a life or death matter. It was like, all right, I know usually I don’t speak up. Usually you speaking up for me, but you’re going to see that I’m going to speak up for all of us today. And so that to me, it even kind of pushes a woman forward if you allow me to say it that way. So sisterhood, it builds up each other if I can say it that way.

LETOYA LUCKETT: Yeah.

MODERATOR: Thank you so much. Drew and LeToya, did you guys also want to answer?

LETOYA LUCKETT: Oh sure. I think it’s having a tribe that you can trust, having a group of women that you can be there for, be your true self, be transparent with and know that they got you, good or bad, I like showing up to be that for someone and I like knowing that I got it. And I feel like even in the short amount of time that we were together, we were there for each other. Any time we needed each other or wanted to talk about something, I felt that I could trust them in that moment that I was in the trust tree. That I was in a safe space.

DREW SIDORA: Yeah.

LETOYA LUCKETT: And it’s nothing like having that. You know what I mean? I don’t have any blood sisters. I have a blood brother. But I’ve been so blessed with a community of women who I know got me, front, back and side to side.

KIERRA SHEARD-KELLY: Yeah.

LETOYA LUCKETT: That’s what I say to that.

DREW SIDORA: Yeah. And I agree with what everyone said. I have three sisters and it’s like no matter if you’re having a good day, a bad day, you’re getting along with them or y’all just had an argument, it’s the ability to just, you know, project that love and that vulnerability. Because I’m not going to lie, I have taken some time off from work having my children and I wasn’t in my most confident space. I never even told y’all this, but come in to work. I was like I just want to do a good job. You know, I just want to do what god gave me this gift to do and it’s been a while. But being around you all, you guys were so vulnerable and just share your true self. It was like even if I wasn’t having a good day, you guys were there with laughs. Ta’Rhonda with her energy, you know, here with a word, you know. And I just felt like spiritually there was a connectedness. And I think outside of friendships or anything else, with sisterhood there’s a spiritual connectedness that I think we were all able to share working together on this project. So I appreciate all of y’all for that moment that you guys, I’ve never had an opportunity to share. But I literally was going through it the day before we started filming and you guys really helped me in that moment to build up my confidence, so yeah.

KIERRA SHEARD-KELLY: We love you.

TA’RHONDA JONES: (Laughs.)

QUESTION: Thank you so much. This was the interview of a lifetime.

LETOYA LUCKETT: (Laughs.)

DREW SIDORA: We are so silly.

MODERATOR: Thank you guys all so, so much. That’s all we have time for today. But please tune into “Line Sisters” Saturday, February 12th at 8, 7 Central on Lifetime.

(All cheer.)

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Adam: Uh-oh. Hmm.

Sally: Wh– what exactly do you think you’re doing? This is completely unprofessional. I’m here for business meeting.

Adam: I was literally about to ask you the same thing.

[ Chuckles ] Are you responsible for all of this?

Ashland: Okay. Uh. You caught me red-handed.

Victoria: At what?

Ashland: A little office redecoration.

Victoria: I think you must have bought everything that the florist had.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] Nothing is too extravagant to show you how much I love you and how grateful I am to have you in my life.

Victor: Well, thank you for the update. Well, I know you were reluctant to go down there in the first place, but I knew that the information you would unearth would be invaluable. Thank you for doing it. See you soon.

Nikki: Who was that?

Victor: Michael baldwin calling from peru. He has some more information about ashland locke.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: Good morning.

Amanda: Happy valentine’s day.

Devon: Oh, my gosh.

Amanda: That was not the reaction that I was expecting.

Devon: I’m — you’re so generous for doing that, and I’m terrible ’cause I’ve had so much going on, I forgot. I’m so sorry.

Amanda: Hey, no, no, no, don’t do that. It is totally fine. I know how worried you’ve been about dominic.

Devon: Yeah, I know, but it’s — there’s no point — i know there’s no point for any of us to be worried or to speculate until we get the test results back. It’s just — it’s easier said than done. Because all I keep doing is thinking about dominic crying when he was getting the test and seeing the fear in his eyes and him looking up at us like he’s asking, “why are you letting this happen to me?”

Amanda: [ Sighs ] I know how worried you must have been because he didn’t understand what was happening. But you care about that kid more than anything in this world, and you are doing right by him. So I know he’s in the best possible hands.

provided by… eggland’s best.

Amanda: Why don’t you take the day off? I can, too. I can stay home and help distract you until you hear back from dominic’s doctor.

Devon: No. I appreciate you want to do that, but I think that work will be a good distraction for me. I’m supposed to go meet lily and pick up where we left off when i got the call about dominic being sick. So I think if I stay here, I’m just gonna obsess about the results.

Amanda: Okay. We can check in later, then?

Devon: Yeah, of course we can.

Amanda: Okay.

Devon: And, hey, I want you to know that I didn’t forget to get you something for valentine’s day. I just didn’t order it in time, so it’s gonna get here a little late.

Amanda: Okay, I don’t want you to worry because we can celebrate tomorrow or the next day or any other day for the rest of our lives. I really don’t need a grand romantic gesture to know that you love me because I can feel it every single day in every single way.

Devon: Mm, thank you.

Sally: I’m here to discuss my role as coo, not to ask you to be my valentine. And even if that were my intention, I would definitely not do it in such a traditional way. I present our new year’s eve celebration as exhibit “A.”

Adam: That is a good point. But if you didn’t do it, then who did?

Sally: I don’t know. Chelsea?

Adam: That’s highly doubtful.

Sally: Then it must be a secret admirer.

Adam: Well, there is only one way to find out.

[ Chuckles ]

Sally: What?

Adam: Well, we both have been cleared. It’s from one of the advertisers. It’s a little valentine’s day stunt.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] Cool. Then I guess we are free to enjoy this swag. Might be a little too early for champagne, but I could definitely go for one of these chocolate-covered strawberries because I did not eat breakfast.

[ Clears throat ] Sorry. You know what?

[ Chuckles ] Might be a little too jour

d’amour. We should just stick to our business meeting.

Adam: Yeah, yeah, that’s probably a good idea.

Sally: Mm-hmm.

Adam: Um…I — actually, I have a work gift for you.

Sally: Well, I believe that is allowed.

Adam: The pr team is putting together a press release announcing your new title — sally spectra, formerly the face of newman fashion, is now the coo of newman media.

Sally: If you think my becoming coo is some kind of gift that you’re giving me, then we seriously need to talk.

Ashland: This is amazing.

Victoria: The symbol on the ring is a crest of a scottish lord named roger loch. I know it’s not your given name, but I think that it represents who you are now.

Ashland: You — you researched the name and then tracked this down?

[ Sighs ]

Victoria: Hmm.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] I will cherish this forever. There are a dozen reasons that i don’t deserve your love, but i thank god every day that you came into my life.

Victor: Well, it seems that michael baldwin found out that the cash flow from ashland’s shell company to his clinic in peru doubled just before ashland and victoria went there for his experimental treatment.

Nikki: I don’t know why that would be considered suspicious. I mean, company cash flow increases and decreases all the time.

Victor: Under normal circumstances, you’d be right. In this case, I smell a rat. Something about ashland’s story does not add up.

Nikki: I don’t understand why you’re stirring things up with ashland and victoria. Today of all days. Do you even know what today is?

Victor: You think I would forget valentine’s day? Do you think I’d forget the day in which I can show you my love again?

Nikki: Good answer. And if that’s true, you will put aside your cloak-and-dagger maneuvering and take me out to a romantic lunch.

Victor: I adore you. But before I do, I’m gonna take you down to the stables.

Nikki: Victor newman, what have you done?

Victoria: Thank you again for the beautiful flowers.

Ashland: Oh, I’m sorry, the bouquets were simply to set the stage.

Victoria: There’s more?

Ashland: After your gift? Are you kidding? I can’t let you outdo me.

Victoria: Oh. Well, it’s not a contest.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, it’s — it’s incredible. It’s so elegant and sophisticated.

Ashland: Just like you.

Victoria: I love it.

Ashland: Here, let me. You know, if there’s one thing being sick and getting better has shown me, it’s that I should never hesitate to express my love to you and never miss an opportunity to celebrate the good days in life. So I would like to propose that we — we cancel the rest of the work day and go celebrate.

Victoria: Deal.

Adam: You misunderstood. When I said “gift,” I was talking about the press release announcing your title. I would never “gift” you a job. It was the wrong choice of words, okay? I was thrown off by the valentine’s day misunderstanding.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] It’s fine. I was just giving you a hard time. I know exactly what you mean. If I was that thin-skinned, frankly, I don’t deserve to be coo. But I do actually have a very important question, which is why I asked for this meeting.

Adam: Okay, shoot.

Sally: Before we approve a press release, I need to know this — what exactly are you expecting from me? Because I know we already got ashland and victoria’s approval for me to be coo, but, I mean, can we specify the duties a bit more? ‘Cause this position could mean a wide range of things. What do you want from me? Is this an equal partnership? Do I have my own autonomy and agency? Or are you just looking for a “yes” woman?

Adam: [ Clears throat ]

Lily: Okay, okay. You know that today is still a work day.

Billy: I am trying to work right now.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Wait, I feel like I’m forgetting something. Where’s my phone?

Billy: Hey, don’t worry about all that kind of stuff. Today is the most romantic holiday of the year. We work from home, which means we get to do things that nobody gets to know about.

Lily: Oh, my god. You’re incorrigible.

Billy: I know.

[ Knock on door ]

Lily: Our meeting with devon. Oh, my god, oh, my god, oh, my god.

Billy: Okay, it’s okay. I’m ready. I’m good to go. Let’s do it.

Lily: No, you’re not meeting appropriate.

Billy: I am. This is fine. He’s your brother. He’s gonna totally understand.

Lily: Okay, there’s some things that a brother shouldn’t know. Can you please answer the door?

Billy: Coming. Hey.

Devon: Hey.

Lily: Hey.

Devon: This a bad time? I can come back.

Lily: No. Oh, my god. Come on in. Uh, yeah, billy’s gonna make coffee.

Billy: Yep, I’m gonna make coffee.

Devon: Okay.

Lily: Hi. So I’m guessing everything’s good with dom. That’s why you didn’t cancel.

Devon: No, no, actually, he had to get a bone marrow aspiration yesterday, and now we’re waiting to hear the results from that.

Lily: Wow. I mean, that sounds serious. Do you want to reschedule? That’s fine.

Billy: Yeah, devon, if you got somewhere to be, we can — we can do this another time.

Devon: No, no, it’s — I’m gonna be thinking about him no matter what, and there’s nothing more that any of us can do, so it’s — it’s fine. And I’d honestly like the company if you guys don’t mind.

Lily: Yeah.

Ashland: Ah.

Victoria: Hello, mom and dad. Fancy meeting you here.

Nikki: Hey.

Victoria: Hi.

Ashland: Looks like we all had the same idea for valentine’s day.

Victor: Yes, indeed. Why don’t you join us? We can celebrate together.

Victoria: Oh, no, we don’t want to intrude.

Victor: Nonsense. Please have a seat. We must do this together, okay? Would you kindly bring two more glasses? Thank you. How nice.

Nikki: So, how has your day been so far?

Victoria: It has been fantastic. I showed up to the office, and i found it filled with flowers.

Nikki: Aww.

Victoria: And ashland bought me the most beautiful necklace.

Nikki: Oh, it’s lovely.

Ashland: Yes, and victoria gave me this ring. It’s a — it’s the loch family signet from ancestors in scotland..

Victor: Look at that. Now, that’s very interesting, considering you have no relation to the lochs in scotland.

Victoria: Oh, that’s not the point, daddy. The ring is about who he is now. It represents who he is and who we are as a married couple and as business partners at newman/locke.

Ashland: It’s about the future. It’s a symbol of a path forward that I was less optimistic about until recently.

Victor: Yes, of course. Well, I think this calls for a toast, okay?

Victoria: Yes.

Victor: To ashland’s miraculous recovery, an answer to all our prayers.

Victoria: I couldn’t have asked for a better valentine’s day gift.

Victor: Cheers.

Victoria: Cheers.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: So I know we were talking about how doing a joint venture between hamilton-winters and chancellor would be a great way to honor katherine and neil, but we didn’t really get much more into it.

Lily: Yeah, I know. So here’s what I’m thinking. Um, you have a streaming service and we have content, so what if we use your streaming service to launch a podcast for us? And we want the podcast to be educational and inspirational and, you know, even have ones that are centered around music.

Devon: Yeah. I mean, in theory, that sounds all great. I love the concept of it. I want to hear specifics, though, on what would the podcasts be about, like the topics.

Billy: Do you mind if I jump in here real quick?

Lily: No, yeah, please.

Billy: Um…so lily knows that I’ve had a few sleepless nights lately, and last night was one of them that I was up for a lot of the night, and i had a bunch of ideas bouncing around the old noggin. I think I might have landed on something that would be perfect for this.

Devon: Really?

Billy: Yeah.

Devon: That’s great. Let’s hear it.

Adam: I am not looking to be “yes’d” to death. Nor am I searching for coo arm candy. I want your input. I value your point of view. And I like to be challenged. That’s what excites me about this partnership is that you don’t hold back.

Sally: You want me to be your public-facing business partner even though I’ve never run a media company before?

Adam: Absolutely. Because in part, I see similarities between the media business and the fashion world.

Sally: Such as?

Adam: News and clothes are both essential products, right? Designers want people to wear their clothes and media companies need people to read or watch their content. I mean, that is why you’ve been partly successful at building the fashion platform. You know how to attract people. Right? It’s all about enticement. It’s about seduction. And that’s why I think, um — i know that you could shine.

Sally: Well, I’m not gonna disagree with you.

Adam: I didn’t think that you would.

Sally: I also know my way around a spreadsheet and I can crunch the hell out of a budget, but, yes, you’re right. Convincing people that they want something, it’s my superpower.

New vicks convenience pack.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. And now most admired alum!

Adam: Look, I admire your confidence, but I do not want you to get the impression that this is going to be easy. We’re gonna have to answer to victoria and ashland, and all of that is gonna be under victor’s watchful eye, so we can’t have any missteps. We have to be at the top of our game because any false move and my sister’s gonna use that as an excuse to kick us both to the curb.

Sally: Huh. No pressure, huh?

Adam: Yes, and despite the comparisons I just made about fashion and news, I mean, getting people to actually read or watch a story’s a lot harder than getting them to look at fashion gossip or ogle a wedding dress. There are a lot of outlets that are vying for eyeballs, so becoming the go-to place for news is becoming more and more challenging, so we have to be the best.

Sally: We’ll hire the best story-tellers. Because I don’t care if it’s business news or politics or, yes, a wedding dress, a good story is a good story. And at the end of the day, that is what hooks people.

Adam: Well said. You have good instincts. Not to mention a lot of passion. I was right…that you would be a natural for this job.

Nikki: Victor transformed one of the stalls in our stables, complete with saddle, bridle, reins, and a custom carved sign with the name of the new inhabitant, sparks.

Victoria: Who is sparks?

Nikki: A gorgeous 5-year-old thoroughbred who we will meet in the spring. Actually, his real name is firewalker, but they call him sparks. But your father continues to spoil me with the most spectacular horses.

Ashland: Seeing the smile on your face when you talk about his gift to you shows clearly that he knows the way to your heart.

Nikki: Ah, he always has and always will.

Victoria: Dad isn’t the only one who understands and appreciates his wife.

Victor: Just wonderful to see how much in love you seem.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] In love we “seem”? I mean, yeah, of course we’re in love.

Victor: Oh, I just thought, you know, to tell you that it warms my heart. My daughter’s happiness means everything to me.

Billy: Look, first of all, you know me well enough, right? You know a lot about my past. And I just want to start by saying that your sister is amazing, and she makes me want to be a better person. And look, man, I got it pretty good, right? And yet I still have these thoughts and feelings run around my head because, well, it’s not easy, and I’m taking it upon myself to try and be a better human being. I’m gonna try and do what I can. And life isn’t easy. We make mistakes. We lose our jobs. We — we lose loved ones. People get hurt. And I’m thinking I can’t be the only one going through this kind of stuff, so the idea is a platform of podcasts with the unifying theme of bettering oneself. Each series specifically designed and centered around health and wellness — both physical and mental. And we have an opportunity to really maybe help people and put something good out into the world, and I think, above all, neil and katherine would really appreciate that, and I think they would really love to see us all working together on that, so that’s it.

Devon: Wow. I — I couldn’t agree more with that. I love it. I love the fact that you’ve taken something personal and you’ve applied it to other people’s lives, too.

Lily: Exactly, which is why i love this idea so much.

Devon: Yeah. Nah, man, you — you’re really thinking big.

Lily: So what should be our next step?

Devon: Uh…the next step would be me taking it to my team, but then at the end of the day, it’s my call, and I can’t wait to get started on it. I really can’t, ’cause as you said, this is truly the perfect way to honor katherine and neil. They would have loved the concept about reaching out to people and helping them better themselves. So, you know, this would also be a good thing to get moses working on as part of his internship.

Lily: Oh, yeah, I love that idea.

Devon: Yeah?

Lily: Yeah.

Devon: That’s what family does. No, I’m excited, guys. I’m excited to work with both of you on it.

Lily: Okay.

Devon: Really.

Lily: Good. Well, let’s hope this leads to many more joint ventures.

Devon: Oh, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. One second. Excuse me.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Lily: Is that the doctor?

Devon: No, it’s not. Hello. Oh, perfect. Thank you for doing that for me. I’ll be over shortly to pick it up. Okay. I have to take off. I completely dropped the ball on valentine’s day and amanda, so this is me trying to salvage the whole thing.

Lily: No, amanda will understand. You’ve had a lot on your mind.

Devon: Yeah, I know. She does understand, which is why I really want to do this.

Lily: Yeah.

Billy: Well, a little romance never hurts a relationship.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: I know.

Lily: Alright. Well, good luck. Please let us know what happens with dom.

Devon: I will.

Lily: Okay, we’ll keep him in our thoughts.

Devon: I will. I’ll be reaching out to you guys.

Lily: Okay.

Billy: Take care. Thanks, man.

Lily: Bye. Have fun.

Devon: Thanks.

Lily: I mean, that went great.

Billy: Yeah, I think he likes it. I think he likes the idea.

Lily: How could he not? Your pitch was fantastic. I mean, I saw what you did yesterday, but this was like next-level.

Billy: Well, maybe these restless nights have actually paid off. It’s kind of like I went to bed with an idea and woke up with a solution, except I skipped the sleeping part.

Lily: I love the creativity coming out of this whole “sleepless in genoa city” situation.

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Lily: Right? You got your emotions out and your stream-of-consciousness recordings, used it as inspiration for your pitch. I mean, you know I was worried when you told me you couldn’t sleep, so…

Billy: No, I get it. I know both you and jack were — were thinking that this was about chanccomm and adam and victor, but it’s not.

Lily: I know, I know, and I’m sorry that my mind went there. I can see this might be a positive thing.

Billy: I think it is. And it feels really good. You know what else feels really good? Where we were right before your brother knocked on that door.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: Can we get back to that?

Lily: Uh-huh. It’s my woke-up-like-this migraine medicine.

Amanda: No. No, you are home too soon.

Devon: No, you’re home too soon. What are you doing?

Amanda: I told you you didn’t have to make the effort.

Devon: I know. I appreciate you saying that, but I wasn’t gonna let today go by without doing something to show you how much I love you.

Amanda: Well, same.

Devon: I thought you were going to work.

Amanda: Well, I needed to make you a really amazing, nice dinner to help you relax and get your mind off of your worries. Mm. But I have to tell you that I am a pretty good cook. I’m just — I’m not a tidy one, so you’re not allowed to go back into that kitchen, or any effort to help you relax would fly straight out the window.

Devon: Why is that? Did you make a big mess?

Amanda: Oh, a huge one.

Devon: That’s okay. I don’t mind helping you clean up. You got a little bit right there, actually.

Amanda: Mm.

Devon: Good for me, yeah. Got something here.

Amanda: Oh.

Devon: Mm-hmm. Tastes good.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: Thank you.

Amanda: Mm.

Sally: I get that there will be plenty of obstacles to overcome, but I find that challenge exciting. I don’t know, there’s something about feeling a bit apprehensive that gets my adrenaline going. And when I woke up this morning, I will admit, I was a little nervous. I was wondering if I was a little too in over my head, but then I gave myself a pep talk, i put on a power suit, and i decided to give it my all. I mean, what do I have to lose? I’d rather try and fail than not try at all.

Adam: You do not have to worry about failing. You’ve got this.

We have got this.

Nikki: For a romantic lunch, can’t really say I had your undivided attention.

Victor: My darling, I was not going to ignore our daughter, you know?

Nikki: I think you were more interested in ashland, and i worry that you’re looking for something that isn’t there. Or something that should remain in the past, like his other secrets.

Victor: Well, whatever’s going on in peru with that clinic is very much in the present.

Nikki: Do you remember how disruptive it was for the family the first time you dug into ashland’s past? And then, ironically, you were the one who accepted him and welcomed him into the family.

Victor: Sweetheart, you’ve known me long enough to know that I am a chess player and therefore, I look many moves ahead of anyone else.

Nikki: Yes, I know. I just don’t understand what you’re trying to accomplish by digging into his treatment. And victoria is finally happy. And do you doubt his love for her? Why are you looking for trouble?

Victor: Sweetheart, I’m not looking for trouble. But if something is going on to ashland locke regarding that clinic in peru, I’m gonna find out about it.

Victoria: You know, you really haven’t said much since we left society. Was something bothering you at lunch?

Ashland: You must have noticed victor’s eagle eye trained on me.

Victoria: Yes, I did, but it’s just because he’s relieved that you’re doing so much better. We were all braced for the worst.

Ashland: Maybe. I just think it was something more specific. Victoria, the reason your father asked me to meet him at the ranch was to question me about my experimental treatment. It seemed innocent enough at first, but with your father, I’ve come to understand that nothing is innocent.

Victoria: What are you talking about?

Ashland: There’s something you need to know. The reason I knew about the protocol was because I had a colleague who was treated at the clinic in peru a few years ago for cancer.

Victoria: You knew about the clinic before we went there?

Ashland: Yes. In fact, I gave them money when their funding was in jeopardy.

Victoria: But we researched options together. Are you saying that you were pretending to be learning about the protocol for the first time when you knew about it all along? I looked into possible connections that we would have with the clinic, and I checked the funding sources. Your name never came up.

Ashland: That’s because I set up the funding through a shell corporation.

Victoria: How did you not tell me this? You promised me in tuscany that there would be no more secrets between us. And now you’re saying that you kept this from me? How could you? With downy infusions, let the scent set the mood.

Ashland: The reason I didn’t tell you about my involvement in the clinic was because I was trying to protect you.

Victoria: From what exactly?

Ashland: I was concerned about the legal ramifications. I was trying to guard both you and newman/locke from any potential tax violation fallout. W– no, with plausible deniability. I didn’t even know if the treatment was going to work. But at the time, you were encouraging me to try anything and everything just to beat the cancer.

Victoria: Of course I did that, and I don’t regret that for one minute because look at you — look at how much better you’re doing.

Ashland: Okay, then be honest. If you had known about my involvement in the clinic, would you have told me not to pursue this treatment?

Victoria: I don’t know what to say to that because, once again, you haven’t given me the option.

Ashland: No, I haven’T. And to be honest, if it weren’t for victor, I wouldn’t be telling you about it right now.

Victoria: So all of those promises that you made about no more secrets, they were just — they were completely meaningless.

Ashland: No, I told you, i was trying to protect you. I was trying to protect the company.

Victoria: That is a very weak excuse. I would expect better from you.

Ashland: Listen to me, victoria. I love you more than anything in the world. I owe my life to you. I hate that I have to tell you this today — on valentine’s day of all days. Please forgive me.

Victoria: I don’t think it’s fair that you withheld this from me.

Ashland: I understand.

Victoria: But the thing that matters the most to me is that you’re doing better.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] I am…because now I have something to live for. You.

Amanda: Oh.

Devon: Isn’t this one of your favorite songs?

Amanda: It is.

Devon: Like to dance with me?

Sally: I will sip this as long as we agree that we are toasting to work, not valentine’s day.

Adam: Oh, you know I would never insult you by celebrating a major holiday. To your growing success.

Sally: I want to thank you for taking a risk on me. I know I’m not the logical choice.

Adam: Well, that goes both ways. God knows how many people have warned you off me.

Sally: Then I have another toast. To two wrongs, making something very right.

Next week on “the young and the restless”…

Chance: We got the test results back.

Rey: I take it the news isn’t good.

Victoria: What if, instead of waiting for adam to screw up, what if we just make damn well sure that he does?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 

I have something to tell you. I’m listening. You know that guy I’ve been messaging? On the dating app portia signed you up for? We have our first date tonight. Stop it! On valentine’s day? I know! Aggressive. Or insanely romantic. Tell me everything about him.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Later. What? You’re gonna leave me hanging? I have a patient. Fine. But I’m excited for you. I am, too.

[ Sighs ] Oh. Nuh-uh. You have no business being tired. Excuse me? I’m the one that slept on the bench. I mean couch. That is a couch, isn’t it? Mm. Not up to your standards, huh? I’m just saying, you may want to think about an upgrade. Just a suggestion. Well, lucky for you, there’s no need for another sleepover. No? The authorities checked all the ships leaving port charles last night. No sign of peter. Looks like he found his way out of town. Well, with that guy, anything’s possible. Careful. It almost sounds like you want to crash on my couch again. Would that be so bad? Taggert, thank you so much for coming. You know I’d do anything for trina. Mm. And maybe it’s nothing. And maybe I’m overreacting. I mean, she’s been acting fine. But your mom radar is going off? Yeah. Yeah, it is. Big time. She went away on this weekend trip with all of her friends, and ever since she’s been back, I mean, she hasn’t said a word to me. And that’s not normal for her. I mean, right? Dinner tonight was a good idea. We’ll talk, we’ll figure out what’s going on with trina, get our girl back on track.

[ Gasps ]

[ Chuckles ] For me? I just wanted to see how you were. You know, your first valentine’s without lenny. Mm. But, um, looks like it’s pretty good.

[ Both laugh ] Lenny hated valentine’s day. Every year, I got chocolates, flowers, and a rant that he didn’t need some greeting card company telling him how and when to express his love. Sounds like lenny. Doesn’t it? I thought this could be my way of honoring him. Not to mention, it makes good business sense. How? Well, so many people feel left out on this holiday. Lonely hearts need a place to go, too. Oh, hi! Come in. Hi! Wow. You look incredible. Well, thank you very much. Hot date? Yeah, with my hot husband. Why didn’t you tell me you had plans? Well, you sounded kind of upset when you called. Besides, I figured that you would know that I would have plans tonight. What’s tonight? It’s february 14th. It’s valentine’s day. Yeah. Oh, boy. You don’t even know what day it is. Something big must have gone down, huh?

[ Sighs ] Sorry for keeping you here so late. Valentine’s day is always busy around here. Jason didn’t cheat on me.

You did. You can rewrite this story

any way you want, but the ending is the same.

We are over, and this is on you. If you need me, I’ll be in the office, tackling this list. Joanne, wait. I need one more thing.


I am so sorry. I guess I completely forgot there are still some people who celebrate valentine’s day. I’ll just go. No, you won’T. No! You’ll do no such thing. Come on, come in. Are you sure? Yes, I’m sure. Come in. Take off your coat. Thank you. So, um, I did hear about maxie. You must be so worried. Unless there’s something else going on? No, I mean… maxie and peter’s trail has gone cold, and I am losing my mind wondering where they could be, but the only consolation, ava, thank god, is that maxie’s daughter was found safe. Did peter have her this entire time? No. You remember. Peter showed up in nixon falls and he tried to blackmail me into helping him find louise. Right, and he threatened to tell the truth about sonny. Well, there’s more to that story. A lot more. Would you like a cup of coffee? I’ll get you one. Only if you want to launch me into space. I think I’d like to see that.

[ Chuckles ] I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I just can’t snap out of it today. Well, that’s understandable, right? You’re worried about maxie. We all are. It’S… it’s valentine’s day. It’s also your anniversary with franco. Thank you for remembering. That means a lot. Go easy on yourself, okay? I’ll try. Yeah? Okay. Hey. Chet, it’s been a while. How’s everything going? Things are terrible. There she is! Aah!

[ Chuckles ] Thank you for making time to see your parents. Wait, shouldn’t you be on a date right now? I will, a little bit later, but I had to spend some time with my original valentine. Well, why aren’t you asking if I have any plans? Do you? No. That’s why I wasn’t asking.

[ Chuckles ] Sit, sit, sit, sit. Come on. Get comfortable. You guys are acting weird, but I’m hungry, so… yeah. I would like to propose a toast. Ah. Oh. To trina. You are strong, intelligent, kind… beautiful. Not that that matters. But it’s true. Mm-hmm. You are kicking ass at pcu, baby girl, and you just organized your very first gallery exhibition. Which was a huge success. If this spencer cassadine can’t see you for the star that you are, it’s his loss. That’s real smooth, taggert. Um… what? So is that what tonight’s about? Spencer? No, it’s — it’s really not, I mean, completely. It just seems like you’re having, you know, kind of a rough time dealing with this young man. Oh, my god. I can’t believe this. Believe what? My own parents think I’m pathetic.

[ Sighs ] Not a fan of valentine’s day, I see.

[ Laughs ] Hey. Hi. So, are you meeting dante here? Oh, I wish. He’s searching for maxie and peter. Oh, I heard he took her hostage. That is awful. That sums peter up in a nutshell, yes. Awful. I really hope they find that guy. Yeah, me too.

[ Sighs ] So? So what? Well, judging from the napkin, I don’t think I really have to ask, but I’m going to have to ask anyway. How did things go with you and sonny last night? I walked in on him in bed with nina. The flowers are beautiful. Thank you. If I’d known about the chocolates, I would have brought them, too. Oh, don’t think I didn’t buy some for myself. I swear, I could feel lenny’s spirit when I paid for them. I miss him. I miss him, too. So, how are you doing? Still on your meds? Yes, ma’am.

[ Chuckles ] Good. How are things going with carly? Last night seemed… so hopeful. Yep. [ Sighs ] I’m taking it things didn’t go as planned? Carly and I are… as far apart as we’ve ever been.


Well, good for maxie. That plan took smarts and guts. And — and good for you, playing along with peter to keep him away from port charles. Must feel nice. What? Well, to be able to tell people that you had motivation other than hiding the truth about sonny. It’s kind of like vindication of sorts, huh? I’d hardly call me vindicated. So, um, any updates on that front? You and sonny, I mean? Why? What have you heard? Nothing. But obviously, there’s something. And you’re acting like you don’t want to talk about it, but I think you do want to talk about it. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come all the way out here. Oh, come on, ava. We’re friends. I wanted company. Is that so hard to believe? Mm-hmm. Sonny and I slept together, and carly walked in on us. I — how was it? Which part, ava?

[ Laughs ] I’m sorry. Never mind. Oh. Carly walked in on you and her husband in bed together. That is… horrible! 100% fully and completely horrible. Mm. I’m sure it was excruciating at the time. And it’s still pretty excruciating. But think to the future, nina. Doesn’t this mean you and sonny can be together? As you can probably imagine, we’re both pretty worried about maxie. It’s all I can think about — where she is, how she is, when is she coming home. I know. It makes me grateful for work. I need the distraction. Me too. Well, came in with amy so she could help with the clothing drive. We just loaded up the donations. I can’t believe how many there are. Have you seen the bins all over the hospital to benefit veterans in need? Of course. I didn’t know that was your doing. After the floating rib explosion, I was back down to one job. Best manager volonino’s has ever had. Well, with all that free time, I started volunteering for a nonprofit that helps veterans with physical and mental injuries — makes sure they have clothing, food, shelter, medicine. Sounds like an amazing charity. Yeah, well, I credit amy for getting the hospital involved. The clothing drive’s been a big hit. Which reminds me — I have a box of stuff that I left at home this morning, but my son is bringing it by any minute. Oh, getting the whole family involved. I like it.

[ Chuckles ] Excuse me. I have a patient I need to see. So, you and elizabeth — how’s that going? Sonny gave excuse after excuse of why they fell in bed together. As if there’s any plausible way to make that okay. Sonny’s still in love with nina and clearly feels compelled to act on those feelings.

[ Sighs ] I am so sorry. I’m not. I’m not. Seeing them together gave me the clarity that I needed. I mean, I’ve been wrestling for months with moving forward, if it was even possible. Now I have my answer. It’s no, by the way. Oh, I figured. Yeah, I mean, I’m not going to sit around while sonny prioritizes the woman who destroyed our family. You shouldn’T. No. Hell, no. I mean, I’m going to move forward. I am. My assistant is calling a divorce attorney as we speak. Divorce? Carly, that’S… necessary. I was going to say more like fast. Are you sure you’re making the right move? I don’t want to burden you with this, so I’m going to go ahead and sit down. Is that okay? It’s no burden, unless you don’t want to talk about it. It’s not — look, what I want is my wife, and that’s not going to happen. Why not? Because carly made it clear that we’re done. Maybe it seems that way now. No, that’s just the way it is, and nothing’s going to change it.

[ Sighs ] Something must have happened, sonny. What was it? I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you what happened. I made this grand gesture to have carly meet me because I needed some kind of a signal that she was willing to fight for our marriage. She didn’t show up? Well, she did, but it was, you know, very late, hours later, and I was… I’d done some thinking. Okay. Uh, carly would say to me that I’m defending nina because I have feelings for her, and I… and I guess it’s true, but I-I can’t shut it down, you know what I mean? These feelings. And as long as they’re there, carly refuses to be with you. I’m — no matter what — I-I told her I loved her, I told her that i didn’t want to lose her. And — and it doesn’t matter. I guess I just should accept that the marriage is over. Bull. You have not done everything you can for your marriage, and you know it.


I love you and I love nina, but I’m afraid I haven’t been a very good friend to either of you. What are you talking about? I should have been more forthright. You’re not responsible for my actions any more than you’re responsible for nina’S. I know, but part of being a friend is saying the hard truths. Okay, say it. You claim you tried everything to right things with carly. Right. Does that include telling her you went off your meds and that nina was there to get you help? No. So you’re still not being honest with your wife. But I told you — you rationalized. Just like you rationalized not telling carly that you and nina fell in love in nixon falls. Relationships need trust, sonny. If you keep repeating the same mistakes, how do you rebuild the trust you lost? How can I rebuild anything, phyllis…

[ Sighs ] …If carly refuses to hear me? The sooner I put this mess behind me, the better. I really need to get on with my life. Okay, and that is a natural reaction, completely. It’s healthy, even. When something hurts, you want to get as far away from it as possible. Hurts? The image of nina and sonny together in bed, I mean, it’s torture. It — okay, either way, the place that you’re in is not the place that you should be making decisions from. Just take a second, a minute — days, even — to process what this means for you and your family before you put something into motion that you can’t take back. Okay. I’m gonna give you some privacy.

[ Sighs ] Hey. The attorney does have one appointment open tomorrow, but it is in the morning, right after your visit with donna and avery.

[ Sighs ] That doesn’t give me much time. What do you want to do? How did you know there was anything between me and elizabeth? We work in a hospital, dr. Finn. Everyone knows. Everyone? Everyone. So are you going to give me the scoop or not? I’m thinking not, actually. Excuse my sister. She’s got the valentine’s bug. If I can’t have my own romance, I might as well help other people with theirs. Oh, well, I’m good, thank you. You sound just like chet refusing to let me set him up. ‘Cause I don’t need to be set up. Tell that to your gaming console. Ever since he and his last girlfriend broke up, he’s been in a total rut. Thanks for that. And by the way, I get out plenty. For casual dates, sure, but I could find your soul mate. Wow. Good luck with all that, chet. I’m going to need it. Yeah. I’ll see you around. You know I only meddle ’cause I love you, right? I know. After everything that your father and I just said, how do you even come away with you being pathetic? You thought I would be spending tonight pining over some guy. No. No, no, no. No. It’s just that you’ve been so quiet lately, ever since you came back from the trip. Your mom is worried that something may have happened in that cabin. So you guys didn’t just ask? Well, we didn’t want to pry.

[ Sarcastically ] This is better. Okay, okay. I’m sorry. You’re right. You’re right. A manufactured sneak attack was not the way to go. But we just want you to know that we’re here for you and — and we love you. And if you have anything that you want to get off of your chest, we’re listening. Mm-hmm.

[ Sighs ] It all started when spencer’s girlfriend — this punk has a girlfriend? Okay. Please, go on. Esme pulled a mean girl stunt at the cabin and I got upset, but I’m fine now. Okay, of course you’re fine now. But it’s no fun to have to deal with esme’s nonsense all the time. What is this girl’s name now? It’s esme. One more again? Esme. Esme. It’s french. It’s something.

[ Scoffs ] That girl is jealous of you, and she’s threatened by you. You think so? No, i know so. I don’t know where sonny and I stand. I don’t know where carly and sonny stand, for that matter. Well, surely, they’re over now.

[ Sighs ] I don’t know. I don’t even know if I’m rooting for that. Listen, ava, the only reason that sonny and I slept together is because we both believed that his marriage was over. He was in so much — he is in so much pain, and I don’t want to see him hurt like that again. Wait, whoa. Why did sonny think his marriage was over? Because carly was supposed to meet him as, like, some sort of sign that she was willing to work things out, and sonny got the impression that she wasn’t coming, and then I showed up, and things just — I don’t know, just progressed. Yeah, they sure did. Sorry. So do you think that it was revenge sex? N-no. I mean, say what you want to say, but sonny and I… we have real feelings for each other, ava, and it was more like we were repressing these feelings and we couldn’t deny it anymore. Come on, nina. You wanted this. You got it. Now what are you going to do with it?


You heading out? I sure am. Oh, wow. You look gorgeous. Yeah? You sure it’s not too much? Definitely not. Your date is going to be blown away. Whoever he is. Yeah, about that. If the dating app doesn’t allow you to exchange photos, how are you going to know who he is? He said he’ll be waiting at the bar, wearing a teal shirt. Oh, mysterious. I’m trying not to get my hopes up. Blind dates are statistically disastrous. Yeah, but it’s no pressure, right? It’s just drinks. At charlie’s anti-valentine’s party. Oh. We’ve been messaging for weeks. I know everything about him. He knows everything about me. We just don’t know what each other looks like. I have a feeling it’s going to go really well. From your lips.

[ Chuckles ] For the clothing drive? Excuse me, are you a veteran? I’m just trying to make sure there’s nothing in here that I gave you. Oh, nice job, biz — donating the fancy stuff.

[ Zipper runs ]

[ Sighs ] Or not. Yikes. What happened to this? That’s the dress I wore when I married franco. I want to go to sonny, but I can’T. Why not? Why not? Because his marriage just exploded. So? Ava, I don’t want to be one of those women that says, “what about me?” That’s kind of tacky, isn’t it? Nina, you slept with a married man. Like I told you, I slept with him because I thought his marriage was over. But okay, point taken. Just forget about morality, you know? Just go for it. No, no, no. I’m not going to do that. I’m not. I’m gonna… I’m going to just stop and think about what’s best for sonny. If it were anybody else, I would tell you to give him space. But sonny and carly have survived a lot, and with enough time, they could survive this. So do not give them time. Carly: Set the meeting. And once it’s confirmed, I want you to go home. Thank you so much, joanne. Hey. Meeting’s set. Okay. Okay? That’s it? Okay? Well, you might as well hear all your options. It doesn’t mean you have to act right away, though you are known for your impulsiveness. Yeah, it’s always worked out like a charm for me, huh? I hope you don’t think I’m trying to tell you what to do. I don’T. I think you’re trying to be my friend. Good, because as a friend, I think I should just warn you that if sonny finds out that you’re taking the divorce route so quickly, he’s going to be hurt, carly. So hurt that it might be the end for the two of you. Are you prepared for that? I wanted carly to meet me halfway so that I would know that she’s willing to fight for the marriage. I don’t know carly well, but it’s clear she loves you. Whatever went down last night, you’re sure there’s no way to salvage things? Uh, well, pretty sure. Well, if you’re waiting for my permission to give up on your marriage, you’re wasting your time. Not everybody’s as perfect as you and lenny. Oh. [ Chuckles ] Lenny and I didn’t have some magical romance. Some days were easy, some days were hard, but we worked on it. When you’re committed to someone, that’s what you do. You don’t just throw in the towel when things get difficult. I’m glad you decided to stay in port charles, ’cause I don’t know what I could have done without this tough love. Emphasis on “love.”

[ Cellphone beeps ] Oh. [ Sighs ] What’s wrong? Carly is meeting with a divorce lawyer tomorrow.


pain with I never meant for any of this to happen. If I would have just stopped for a second to consider the ramifications — hmm. It’s a little late for that now. You think? I’m in love with a man who I cause nothing but trouble for, but I don’t want to do that anymore. Well, you don’t have to. If I know sonny, he’s off somewhere nursing his wounds, spiraling out. You could be the one to steady him. I’m not going to take advantage of his pain. Well, I’m not suggesting you seduce the man, nina. Just be there for him. You love sonny. You want a future with him. Be somebody he can count on. No, I’ve caused too much damage by me being impulsive, and if I care about sonny, and…I really do care about him, I’ve got to stop that destructive behavior. So I take it that’s a no, you’re not going to go to him, then. It’s a no. For once, I am going to do the right thing and I’m not going to seek out sonny. I’m not going to do it. And however things land, I’m going to accept it. Suit yourself. But I think you’re making a big mistake. Did the dress look like thiswhen you put it in the box? I guess I don’t actually know. I mean, it’s been in that garment bag for months. I-I haven’t looked at it. Donating this is a big step. In the moment, it just felt important to helping me move on. So when you last saw it months ago, the dress was still intact? I don’t know how this could have happened. Moths, maybe? Are razor-tooth moths a thing? There aren’t even holes in the garment bag. It looks like somebody shredded this, but who would have done something like this? Maybe it fell apart when you had it dry cleaned. I-I think I’ve looked at it since then. I guess it’s a possibility it… say it. Today is franco’s and my anniversary, and having the dress torn up like this, it just seems like some kind of an omen that… I don’t even know what I’m saying. Look. Let’s get a drink, yeah? I-I’ll reschedule my date. No, absolutely not. It’s no big deal, really, I — oh, my god. What? I just — I remembered that I did look at the dress when it came back from the dry cleaners. I noticed a tear. I guess I just didn’t realize the extent. I’m sorry. I’m really tired today, and my brain is like mush. And… [ Sighs ] Mystery solved. So go, go on your date. Have fun. I can’t wait to hear all the details. I love you. I love you, too. Be right back. We’ll be right here, honey. Oh, god. What? What is that look? Just taking it all in. Taking what in?

[ Chuckles ] You used to be on this singular track, so focused, balancing motherhood with career. Okay, and now? Now you’re just… different. I hope in a good way.

[ Chuckles ] In a great way. I’m not saying you weren’t happy before. It’s just…you seem, I don’t know, lighter, I guess. Honestly, I think that it has to do with me seeing curtis. Is that terribly awkward? No. You deserve joy after everything I put you through. And I did my share of hurting you, too, I know. But look at us now, huh? Coming together when it counts to prop up our little girl. Mm-hmm. And she’s not so little anymore. No, she is not.

[ Sighs, chuckles ] You know what? You need to get out there. I am out. You’re out with your ex-wife and your daughter. Come on, marcus. You should start dating. Oh, here we go. What? You all happy and coupled up now, so you want to see everybody else coupled up. Maybe. Yeah. You know, maybe. Life does seem —

[ Sighs ] It just seems full of possibilities now, and I’m brighter and more vibrant. And I sound like a complete idiot.

[ Chuckles ] No. You sound like a woman in love.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh, I’m so sorry. Excuse me. Go ahead. And there goes my valentine’s plans for the night. Patient emergency? Yeah. Okay, um, please tell trina that I had to go to the hospital, I got called away. But give her this for me along with a big hug? Of course. Good luck with your patient. Thank you. Thank you so much. Curtis? Curtis, hi. I am so, so sorry. Yeah, it’s a patient emergency, and I’m going to be — I’m going to be at the hospital all night.

[ Chuckles ] But I promise I’ll make it up to you. I’m not defending sonny, nor do I care if the two of you stay together. But as your friend, I’m just asking if you’re sure. Sonny’s not going to know that I met with a lawyer. If you decide to pull the trigger and he finds out, he will know, and there is no going back. I need this to be over. I am so done with this situation, and this feels like the only way to do it. I need to reclaim my life, sam. Okay. Can you promise me one thing? Maybe. Go in with an open mind. Listen to what the lawyer has to say and then decide if now is the time to talk divorce. What if it is? It hasn’t even been 24 hours and she’s already calling a divorce attorney. And not just any attorney. I know this woman. She’s ruthless. Okay. Just slow down.

[ Sighs ] You don’t know what’s going on in carly’s head. Don’t jump to conclusions. What other conclusion can there be? Carly didn’t tell me anything. I just got this, you know, added on my notification here. What? Oh, no, this is… this is on the — the shared calendar with donna and avery. She probably made a mistake. Talk about honesty, huh? I’m not excusing carly. However, she was deeply hurt by the revelation that you and nina lied.

[ Groans ] And whatever happened last night… right. …Must have compounded that. Okay. So… don’t write her off yet. She’s writing us off. She may reconsider once she’s had a chance to cool off. Listen to me. She’s calling the shots. I ain’t having it.


bad mom had to changeher valentine’s day plans, but it did come with one collateral benefit. And that is? It brought the parental pep talk to an early close. You do know we mean well, right? I know, and I love you for it. It’s just, you don’t need to go overboard, like bringing me chocolate to cheer me up. What? It was the valentine’s day special. I had nothing to do with that. Mm-hmm. Right. Can I help it if I want to celebrate how proud I am of you? You take everything life throws at you with such courage and grace, and I want you to know that if you ever need it, I’ll have your back, always. And lots of friends on the police department.

[ Chuckles ] Got it. Mm. Yeah, it’s good? So good. Uh-huh? Thanks, dad. Anytime, kiddo. Mm. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Elizabeth. Hi. Hi. Uh, amy’s not in here, is she? No, why? No, no reason. No reason. What you got there? Oh, it’s just for the clothing drive. I was just, um… I was just heading out. I wanted to say goodbye. I’ll call you tomorrow, okay? Happy valentine’s day, elizabeth. Finn, wait.

[ Sighs ] I know we didn’t make plans for tonight, ’cause this day isn’t easy for me. I know it’s not. But I kind of think that a nice, mellow family dinner with just you and violet and the boys is exactly what I need. We can just order pizza and watch a movie. That sounds…perfect. I’ll see you later, then. Okay. Okay.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] Excuse me. Do you mind if I sit here? Not at all. Thanks. Teal shirt. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. This is on me. Thank you for your advice. Sound advice or crappy advice?

[ Both laugh ]

[ Sighs ] You’re right. It’s best to hear what the lawyer has to say before taking action. Options are a good thing. And I’m keeping mine open. You know as well as I do that marriage is complicated. When it’s not so raw, you’ll see there is more than one way to resolve things. Or, as lenny would put it, it ain’t over till it’s over.

[ Sighs ]

[ Dramatic music ]

Ridge: You kissed deacon?

Brooke: I really am sorry. I know I should have told you when it happened. I know.

Ridge: This can’t be right. You wouldn’t do that.

Steffy: Dad’s going to need a lot of support to get through this.

Taylor: Yes, he is. He’s going to need support from all of us.

Steffy: Yeah.

Thomas: Got your texts. Are we doing this? We telling dad about brooke and deacon?

Steffy: Mom already told him.

Thomas: What?

Brooke: That’s right!

Sheila: Are you drooling?

Deacon: What?

Sheila: Careful. Somebody’s very jumpy.

Sheila: Why the hell do you always have to sneak up on people?

Sheila: I wasn’t sneaking, I–I just walk softly. What–what are you looking at anyway?

Deacon: Nothing. I just–I’m just thinking.

Sheila: Just thinking.

Deacon: Yeah.

Sheila: Well, then it must be about brooke. That would explain the drool, but… not the jumpiness. What’s going on with you, deacon? What’s got you so on edge?

Deacon: If I seem like I’m on edge, it’s because every time I turn around, there you are, staring at me with that creepy smile, harassing me about brooke.

Sheila: Harassing you? You know, I, I’m just trying to be a friend talking about things that I know interest you. And I know brooke is, is that number one topic. Although lately, when I bring her up, it’s–it’s like it’s upsetting you. Why, why is that, deacon? Because I certainly don’t want to talk about something that brings you any pain, but I am not a mind reader. You’ve got to be able to tell me.

[ Sheila gasping ] Unless it’s something that we can’t talk about in here because we could always go back to my hotel room if you’d like, and you know, have a little pillow talk.

Deacon: You are relentless, aren’t you? All right. I might as well tell you the truth because it’s coming out anyway.

Sheila: The truth? What do you mean?

Deacon: The truth about me and brooke. About what really happened that night that we got drunk.

Thomas: Okay, well, how’s dad doing? Is he okay?

Taylor: No, he’s not. He’s desperately trying to figure out another explanation for what happened.

Thomas: Another explanation for brooke to be kissing deacon?

Steffy: You know dad. Defending brooke ’til the end.

Thomas: Whatever. You know what? He’s probably just shocked. And this just needs to sink in.

Steffy: I’m sure brooke is going to turn on the waterworks and have some kind of excuse.

Taylor: Well, that’s exactly what she’s going to do. You know, you guys should know this. Brooke relapsed, so she’ll probably also just blame the alcohol for what happened, you know.

Steffy: Yeah, I’m sorry that happened to brooke, but that shouldn’t matter, because dad warned her over and over again to stay away from deacon, to not have him in their house, and she ignored dad. She even encouraged deacon to start hanging around. I mean, are we really surprised that brooke ended up kissing him? That he spent the night because that is exactly who brooke is. She can’t help herself. I mean, it wasn’t that long ago when she was caught kissing bill, now deacon. And in six months from now, it’s probably going to be another guy. Because when it comes to brooke, there’s always another man. We just got to get dad to finally realize it.

Brooke: I was… I was drunk, ridge. And I know that’s not an excuse, I do. I’m just–I’m really ashamed, okay?

Ridge: You were wondering why you drank. Now, you know why?

Brooke: I do?

Ridge: Yes. Deacon. He spiked your drink.

Brooke: No.

Ridge: He spiked your drink with something. That deceitful, little weasel. He wanted to get with you and he knew he couldn’t do it when you’re sober. So he–he did that. And you know what that is? That is criminal.

Brooke: No, I don’t think–

Ridge: Okay, now just–just…try to remember everything that happened that night. All of it. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Sheila: You and brooke got so drunk that not only did you share a kiss, but you shared her bed?

Deacon: Yeah, that about sums it up.

Sheila: Oh my god, this is too good, too good. You know the names they call her? They’re–they’re true, aren’t they?

Deacon: Okay, you know what? Stop. That’s not cool, all right? Nothing happened.

Sheila: Nothing? Sure.

Deacon: What part of passed out drunk aren’t you understanding? Even if I wanted something to happen, neither of us were in any state to make it happen.

Sheila: That you can remember.

Deacon: I can’t believe I gotta say this again. I woke up on top of the sheets, completely dressed. Now, just knock it off.

Sheila: All right. So it was just a kiss and a sleepover. That’s still explosive. That’s enough to ruin brooke’s marriage. Why would you tell me this?

Deacon: It doesn’t matter anyway. It’s all about to come out.

Sheila: No, brooke would never tell ridge. He’ll just walk away from her for the millionth time.

Deacon: Yeah, he’s going to be upset at first, but then logic should kick in. I mean, it was one kiss.

Sheila: And you shared a bed. Oh, I knew you were keeping a juicy secret from me, but god, I had no idea how juicy.

Deacon: Yeah. Well, it’s not going to be a secret much longer. Brooke decided that she can’t carry it anymore, and she wants ridge to hear it from her. She’s probably telling him right now.

Thomas: You don’t think dad’s actually going to buy whatever story brooke comes up with, right?

Taylor: Your dad doesn’t want to believe that brooke betrayed him, especially with deacon. He said I was misinterpreting.

Steffy: It’s kind of hard to misinterpret camera footage. There’s no denying deacon spent the night.

Thomas: This has got to be enough for dad to leave brooke, though. Yeah?

Steffy: Should be. But if she plays him again, I don’t know.

Thomas: We’ve tried over and over again with brooke, but… gosh, dad has got to wake up and leave brooke once and for all.

Brooke: I don’t think you want the details, ridge.

Ridge: I don’T. I don’t want the details. I need them. I know it’s going to hurt, but I’m your husband and I’m here for you and I want to know. So please.

Brooke: Ah, I, I told you what I remember.

Ridge: You told me about the drinking, but there’s something else you’re leaving out. There’s got to be. I understand why, but you gotta be completely honest with me because this doesn’t make any sense to me. Everything was fine until deacon comes in the house and you start drinking.

Brooke: No, it wasn’t like that. He didn’t want me to drink. In fact, he tried to stop me.

Ridge: Oh, he tried to stop you.

Brooke: Yeah, he was genuinely concerned.

Ridge: He’s a very genuine guy, yes. But, when you asked him to drink with you, you didn’t have to twist his arm or anything.

Brooke: I was very insistent. Almost like I was drinking already, but I hadn’t been. I just had some of that non-alcoholic champagne, you know, that bottle that we had–

Ridge: Did you put your glass down somewhere when you weren’t paying attention? Where he could have spiked it?

Brooke: No. Why would he risk that, especially in front of the children?

Ridge: I don’t know. But why–why is any of this happening? Why? Why would you all of sudden start drinking? Why would you all of a sudden kiss that man?

Brooke: It was an impulse. He was telling me how much he loved me. He never stopped loving me. And I just let it happen. Drinking always brings out the worst in me.

Ridge: Deacon brings out the worst in you. Trying to get a picture here. You guys, standing, what, over here? So, what, you’re just, uh, kissing with him, what? In a santa suit? Because that’s what douglas saw, right?

Brooke: Uh, yeah. He saw him put on a santa hat and I–I don’t know. He just found this hat and he put it on. We thought it was kinda funny at first.

Deacon: You thought it was funny?

Brooke: I’m sorry. I really am sorry. Be ready for whatever life throws your way.

Sheila: What, brooke is telling ridge right now? Oh, god. This is, this is too good.

Deacon: You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?

Sheila: You have no idea the way brooke treated me years ago, pretending to be my friend. It was all a lie. She hated me and the names that she called me. “Crazy, lunatic, psychotic.” No, she is just as bossy today, just as determined as she ever was, and telling me that I am never going to have a place in my son’s life? In my grandson’s? She’s going to do everything in her power to make sure of it? What gives her that right? So, yes… the idea of brooke finally having a little comeuppance? I do find joy in that. Immense joy.

Steffy: You know what’s so sad about all of this? None of this had to happen. If dad stayed with you, he would be truly happy. He would be. Instead, he’s dealing with all of brooke’s drama.

Taylor: I understand that you feel that way, steffy, but, you know, there is so much history even before the two of you were born.

Steffy: Oh, I know all the history. She slept her way through the forrester family. She became obsessed with all the wealth and the power, and the lifestyle. I–I just hope that dad finally sees brooke for who she truly is.

Taylor: Oh, gosh. You have no idea how many times I have thought the same thing. She always finds her way out of it. You know what?

Thomas: Mom?

Taylor: Not this time.

Thomas: I mean.

Ridge: You don’t have to apologize to me. Deacon did this. After you kissed, did anything else happen? I–I know he spent the night here. So after that kiss, you told him it was inappropriate, you would, you would never do that again. And he was so drunk, he just, you were kind enough to let him sleep on the couch.

Brooke: I was pretty out of it, ridge. And deacon knew that I should go to sleep, so he helped me.

Ridge: He helped you. He helped you to bed?

Brooke: He led me upstairs and–

Ridge: And what?

Brooke: And when I woke up the next morning, he was, he was there right next to me.

Ridge: He was there?

Brooke: Yeah, but not in–

Ridge: No, I know, where I, yeah, he was there.

Brooke: Nothing happened, really.

Ridge: Nothing happened?

Brooke: No.

Ridge: How do you know nothing happened? He didn’t touch you?

Brooke: No!

Ridge: Didn’t undress you?

Brooke: No, ridge, I swear, nothing happened. I–I was under the covers and he was on top of the covers, and we are both fully dressed. Really, I promise you nothing happened.

Ridge: Why do you keep saying nothing happened? What does that mean? “Nothing happened”? The guy comes in this house, you drink with him, you make out with him, you wake up with him, in our bed. That, that’s something.

Brooke: I don’t know. I’m just so confused. I’m really confused about that whole night.

Ridge: What’s confusing about it? Deacon did exactly what I, I thought he would do. He did exactly what I, I told you he would do. You give him an opening, and he hurts you. It’s what he does, this is all on him. Kids can change minds,

Brooke: I should have listened to you. I should have learned from my mistakes. You could have had so much more, ridge. Could have had a life with taylor, and a family with steffy and thomas. Everything they ever wanted. Instead, you got this. This mess. I don’t know why I keep slipping up. I don’t know why I keep sabotaging our marriage, but I do. I could understand if you want to walk away. But that’s not what I want. I want you. I will always be by your side. I choose you, ridge.

Ridge: You let me down. You hurt me.

[ Brooke sighing ] But you’re the love of my life. You’re my logan. I gotta get some air. I’m gonna make this right.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Steffy: I wouldn’t wanna be be brooke right now. Did you see the look in mom’s eyes?

Thomas: Long time coming.

Steffy: Wish I could be there, watch mom take her down.

Thomas: Yeah, mom’s not gonna put up with any of her excuses, that’s for sure. “Oh no, I can’t believe it. Like, he just fell on my lips, and then we kissed, and then slept on my bed. I just don’t know what happened.”

Steffy: Uncanny impression.

Thomas: I forgot the whole wiggle and jiggle that goes along with it. But I just don’t understand how dad falls for it every single time.

Steffy: I know, it’s mindblowing.

Thomas: Yeah, especially since mom is ten times the woman that brooke is. I mean, she, she’s given her entire life to helping others. She’s a world-renowned psychiatrist. And, and, and brooke? I mean, who the heck has she ever helped?

Steffy: Brooke will never compare to mom. Never.

[ Knocking ]

Brooke: I’m not in the mood for visitors.

Taylor: At least I knocked. I know what you’ve done, brooke. I know all about you and deacon.

[ Door creaking ]

Deacon: Ridge, I told you–

[ Deacon groaning ]

Ridge: Get up.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nikki: What about the factories in indiana and kentucky?

Victoria: Let’s keep them up and running at 60% capacity. Oh, except for the one in fort wayne. It’s too far away from the distribution center. We could find a way to re-purpose it or find a buyer.

Nikki: And the commercial developments in south carolina?

Victoria: If we can find a rate of return at 8%, let’s see. Otherwise, let’s sit on it for the next six months. The market will come back. We’ll make a profit. It’s just gonna take time. Is that all?

Nikki: Um, that is everything on my list, except for one thing.

Victoria: And what would that be?

Nikki: I have a question about the acquisition of a company called newman media.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] What do you want to know?

Nikki: Are we gonna fold their finance and marketing staff into our existing teams?

Victoria: You know, before i say anything about that, i should — I should ask ashland what he thinks. I just want to make sure we’re both on the same page.

Nikki: Okay.

Victoria: You know, he is doing much better. He’s — he’s healthier, he’s stronger, and he really seems to want to sink his teeth into this part of the business. He’s particularly interested in how the merger plays out.

Nikki: Huh. That means he doesn’t trust adam.

Victoria: Can you blame him?

Nikki: No, I can’t even believe adam’s on our executive team or that you agreed to bring him on board.

Victoria: Well, I really didn’t have much of a choice. Dad insisted on it if I wanted to acquire newman media.

Nikki: Well, I hope that this recent show of humility is sincere and that he’s come to terms with the idea of answering to you, but…

Victoria: Mom, I know. Trust me. Ashland and I, we share your concerns. And believe, we’re gonna be keeping a very close eye on adam.

The role of ashland locke

will now be played by

robert newman.

Adam: Hello. No victoria?

Ashland: She’s out to lunch with nikki. She’ll be back in a few minutes if you need her.

Adam: Well, I can talk to you, unless I’m interrupting. Working on something big?

Ashland: I was just reading a report on a new water treatment facility. It’s powered solely by renewable energy. The technology is amazing. It could be a great growth opportunity for us. I’m looking forward to seeing how it evolves.

Adam: Well, your health must be improving. Getting back to work, looking forward to the future.

Ashland: I prefer to think of it the other way around. I think my health is improving because I’m working.

Adam: Well, either way, that’s a good sign. You know, I was always glad to get your input on newman media as a member of the board. It’s gonna be even better now that we are on the same team.

Ashland: Are we?

Adam: Sure, I look forward to your input and your perspective on the business.

Ashland: I’m glad to hear that’s your attitude, because now that newman media is part of newman/locke, you will definitely be hearing from me.

Lily: [ Sighs ] Oh, my god. You’ve got to be kidding me.

Billy: Thank you. Hey, how goes it?

Lily: Hey, not great. You know that exec in accounting that I wanted to promote.

Billy: Whitney? What’s going on with her?

Lily: She’s resigning. I thought I sold her on my vision of chancellor, but she’s taking a job in salt lake city.

Billy: Okay, well, it’s all good. You’ll find someone.

Lily: I need some help.

Billy: Alright, well, I’m all yours. Let me just finish up here, and then I’ll head home to our place and we can figure out if there’s any internal candidates that are right for the job.

Lily: Uh, you know what? I’m gonna meet you there later. There’s — there’s something i have to do first.

Billy: Okay, I’ll see you in a bit.

Sally: Hey, billy. What’s happening?

Billy: Sally. Sorry, I did not recognize you without the ridiculous glasses or fake wig on or without the camera pointed directly at me, which, let’s be honest, was the most important part of your ensemble, wasn’t it?

Sally: I’d really hoped you’d gotten over that by now.

Billy: Right, ’cause it’s been a whole two weeks.

Sally: Exactly. It’s ancient history. I said that I was glad that it was all an act, and I meant that. Now, look at you. I mean, you’re doing great, mr. Coo of chancellor industries. Congratulations.

Billy: Thank you very much. I hear things haven’t turned out so well for you. Rumor has it the first thing that victoria did when she acquired newman media was get rid of the fashion platform.

Sally: That is right, she did.

Billy: Tough break.

Sally: Thank you for your concern.

Billy: Well, good luck finding a new job.

Sally: Yeah, I’ll be just fine. Adam is keeping me on.

Billy: Oh, is that right? Are you his new executive assistant? Did he line up more people for you to stalk?

Sally: Sort of. I am now the chief operating officer at newman media.

Billy: Chief operating — coo?

You’re the coo?

Sally: That’s right. How about that, billy? We have the same job. No one thinks about their hearing until Do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need?

Lily: Nikki, hello.

Nikki: Hi, lily. How are you?

Lily: I’m good. How are you?

Nikki: Just fine.

Lily: I just saw victoria’s car pull away.

Nikki: Oh, we had a meeting earlier. I’m getting ready to leave myself.

Lily: Actually, would you mind staying for just a minute? I’d love to pick your brain about something.

Nikki: Well, sure. Have a seat.

Lily: Okay, thank you.

Sally: I’m really glad we both landed on our feet.

Billy: You went from third banana at a barely recognizable fashion platform to being second-in-command at a highly prestigious media conglomerate. That’s not landing on your feet. That’s flying above the clouds. So I guess your super spying really paid off for you this time. No offense.

Sally: Really? Why else would you say that other than to offend me? And for the record, my little video surveillance project had nothing to do with my new job.

Billy: Right, so it’s your extensive operations résumé, that’s what got you the gig, sally?

Sally: Uh-huh, you may not know this, but I actually have a lot of business experience. I ran my own fashion house back in la.

Billy: I really don’t want to hear it because I don’t care. It’s clear to me that the only reason why adam put you in second-in-command is because you will stoop to whatever level he asks you to.

Sally: Is that the reason lily chose to hire you?

Billy: You helped him slander an innocent man by secretly recording —

Sally: Okay, wait. Hold on. First of all, I don’t think you’re using the word “slander” correctly. And secondly, if you’re talking about yourself, you’re definitely not using the word “innocent” —

Billy: You tried to capture me on video in a compromising situation. Did you not, sally?

Sally: Yes, but your whole act was a scam. You set us up. You pretended to be this gambling, drunken mess in hopes that adam would fall for it and publish a story, which he never did.

Billy: Because I stopped it. Because I took the high road.

Sally: But until you had this attack of conscience, you tried to entrap him. So where do you get off playing the victim?

Ashland: You must be very excited.

Adam: About what, exactly?

Ashland: Your expanding universe. There are so many new possibilities for newman media.

Adam: More resources don’t always translate into more opportunities.

Ashland: Come on, that’s exactly what you were hoping for when you bid on chanccomm yourself.

Adam: Not exactly.

Ashland: Okay, true enough. You probably weren’t anticipating working for your sister and you probably thought that you were gonna be running some independent venture, but I-I assure you, this is a scintillating time to be part of newman/locke. Great things are happening.

Adam: Well, you can consider me scintillated.

Ashland: I believe you will look back on this moment and be glad you came aboard when you did.

Adam: Well, I think that goes both ways. I think you and victoria will look back and be very excited that I stuck around.

Ashland: [ Laughs ] Ooh, well, there’s that famous newman confidence.

Adam: Hey, I’m just being serious. ‘Cause I actually have a proven track record of success in this field. And I have done a damn good job with newman media, and you have not had any complaints about my work.

Ashland: Fair enough, but the situation has changed.

Adam: Yes, but the work remains the same.

Ashland: Still, you are going to have to make some adjustments. You’ve been the — what, the sole decision-maker for a very long time. That’s not the case anymore.

Adam: Yes, I have accepted the fact that my father wants more of a say. And victoria will occasionally want to weigh in, if, for no other reason, to remind me that she’s the boss.

Ashland: Not just your sister and not just occasionally. Adam, we own the company. We will be charting its course and giving you direction, not the other way around. Now, if you’re not comfortable with that, that’s fine. I would suggest you make a decision and move on.

[Music: “I swear”]

Nikki: I hope you’re not coming to me to give you advice on how to handle jill because that is not one of my strengths.

Lily: Oh, no, no. No, no, no.

Nikki: Ah.

Lily: No, jill and I get along great. We’re fine. That’s not it.

Nikki: Oh, good. Alright, then. Now, how can I help you?

Lily: Well, there have just been so many times in the last couple of months that I have been dying to pick up the phone and call katherine.

Nikki: Yeah, I feel that way practically every day.

Lily: I’m sure. So I figured next best thing would be to talk to somebody who was close to her and knew her best and just see if there’s anything she’d want me to know as I take over her company.

Nikki: Well, I would love to talk about my old friend. What is it that you want to hear about?

Lily: Well, I have this image of katherine as this, you know, tough-as-nails businesswoman who’s barking orders and decisive and never wrong.

Nikki: Well, she was wrong a lot over the years.

Lily: Well, yeah, I’m sure, but, I mean, the rest of that image, that’s — that was the real her, right?

Nikki: Uh, she didn’t put a show on for anybody. Here’s something you might not know. She never set out to be a business mogul.

Lily: No?

Nikki: No, the company became her responsibility when phillip died. And in the beginning, she was content to let other people run it, but after a while, she thought she could run it just as well as they can, so she took over and the rest is history.

Lily: God, that must have been hard. I mean, there were so few women running corporations at the time.

Nikki: She was definitely ahead of her time. And she loved it when people underestimated her.

[ Laughs ] She liked to mix things up. She had fun shaking things up, you know? That would be her advice to you. Have fun. I mean, I’m sure you have an idea of what direction you want the company to go in.

Lily: I do. I definitely have a vision. It’s just [Sighs] You know, chancellor has such a rich history with amazing business legends that have run it, including my dad. And I just… I feel like it’s presumptuous of me to think that I’m anywhere near their league.

Nikki: Oh, trust me, you are. Your father was the best mentor you could’ve had.

Lily: Yeah. Another person I wish I could pick up the phone and call.

Nikki: Well, I’m sure you still hear his voice because i do. Trust what he says. Neil and katherine are watching over you. You’re gonna be just fine. Oh, and please don’t tell anybody I said this, but…trust jill’s judgment. She knows what she’s doing when it comes to chancellor, anyway. And she would never have put you in charge if she wasn’t sure that you were ready. You’re gonna make all of them proud, I know it.

Billy: Well, this has been very entertaining, trying to watch you take the high road. It’s kind of like watching those videos of cats playing the piano. You can’t really believe what you’re seeing, but you can’t take your eyes off it either.

Sally: Did you just compare me to a piano-playing cat?

Billy: Yeah, I don’t trust cats either. The point I’m trying to make is that adam cost me my reputation and my job, which is the only reason I put that plan in motion in the first place. And I knew it would work because he loves to see people suffer. Wouldn’t be surprised if he had a fistful of popcorn as he watched the videos that you filmed.

Sally: I don’t know the person you’re describing.

Billy: No? Adam? About yay high, beady, untrustworthy eyes, brown hair to hide his devil horns on his head.

Sally: You’re wrong. Adam felt bad that your life was such a wreck, just like I did.

Billy: Yeah, but you still found the strength to keep filming me.

Sally: I don’t think adam would have taken advantage of your suffering, which wasn’t real anyway, ’cause you’re obviously fine now. You’ve got this great new gig and you’re happy, which was the whole point of calling off your little scheme, right? To let go of the resentment that was eating you alive, right? Or am I mistaken?

Billy: No, that is accurate.

Sally: Okay, so then why can’t you just be happy that we’ve all moved on?

Billy: You want me to be happy that adam is now running chanccomm, the company that i built?

Sally: If you have an issue with that, I would take it up with victoria, ’cause keeping adam in charge was her call. Maybe knowing that will make it a little easier for you to swallow.

Billy: You know what? It will, because I know how victoria really feels about her brother, so I can’t imagine this little situation is gonna last very long. Good luck, sally.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Adam: I don’t understand why you’re taking this tone with me. We have always had a pretty solid working relationship.

Ashland: I totally agree. I hope we get to continue that relationship. I ju– I just think it’s important that you know where things stand. This is an excellent opportunity for you.

Adam: That has been made abundantly clear. My father has mentioned the word “opportunity” 20 times when he told me why he’s selling the company.

Ashland: He’s a wise man. And he sees the potential you have right at your fingertips. But I need you to understand this — we’re willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, but any insubordination, any challenge to our authority on your part would be a major mistake. We will not tolerate it.

Adam: “We”? You mean you and victoria?

Ashland: Yes.

Adam: Are you guys one entity now?

Ashland: As far as you’re concerned, yes.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Thought you were more of an advisor. Now you’re talking as if you’re her equal partner in running newman/locke.

Ashland: That’s exactly what I am.

Adam: Hmm.

Ashland: I presume that’s not a problem for you.

Adam: That’s between you and your wife.

My issue is your change in attitude towards me, ’cause we’ve always gotten along and now you’re taking this hard-line approach with me. I mean, is this because I’m in less favor with victor these days? I’m easier to dismiss?

Ashland: I can promise you i have not given one moment of thought or consideration to your relationship with your father. This is business. The world doesn’t revolve around you. And now neither does newman media.

Adam: Well, I can’t wait to show you how wrong you are on that score.

Ashland: We shall see.

Victoria: What’s going on here?

Billy: Hey, there she is. I hope you remembered my extra verde sauce for my enchilada because I remember your pear tart, right there.

Lily: Of course. Thank you. I’ll never forget your extra sauce.

Billy: Mmm. Well-oiled machine, aren’t we? You okay? What are you thinking?

Lily: I don’t know, I just keep thinking about that girl from accounting. I just can’t believe that she would jump ship like that, you know? How is that gonna look from the outside?

Billy: I wouldn’t worry too much about it at all. To be honest, I think it’s a compliment.

Lily: How is that a compliment?

Billy: Because she got passed over for the top job, and if she thought that you were gonna crash and burn as chancellor’s ceo, then she would’ve stuck around to swoop in and save the day. But she didn’T. She bounced, which means she believes that you’re gonna be around for a very, very long time. And if she wanted to, you know, climb the ladder, she had to make a move.

Lily: Yeah, I guess that’s true. And I do believe that our headhunters will find some great people.

Billy: There you go. There’s the silver lining. And when you’ve whittled it all down, I will be there to help you pick the right person that’s excited to work with you because working at chancellor should be fun.

Lily: That’s funny, that’s what nikki told me.

Billy: When did you talk to nikki?

Lily: Uh, just now, at society. I went to her because I wanted to see if she had any advice that she thought katherine would give me. I’m sure that sounds weird, right?

Billy: No, no. To be honest, I’ve sought nikki’s advice many times over the years.

Lily: Really?

Billy: Yeah, whether it’s about victoria or the kids or sobriety, and if you want any insight on katherine, nikki’s the one to talk to.

Lily: Yeah, I mean, she just told me that katherine took so much joy in running the company. Not that it was a party every day, but that she never lost sight of how much she loved the role.

Billy: Well, I believe that you can do the exact same thing. Now, be honest with me. Why did you go talk to nikki in the first place?

Lily: Well, I mean, you know, even though I’m honored to have this job, it’s overwhelming. I…I just want to make sure that I can match up to, you know, katherine’s savvy and my dad’s intellect and jill’s confidence in me.

Billy: I know you can.

Lily: Well, I don’t really need a pep talk. I’m just being honest with how i feel.

Billy: I get it. I appreciate that.

Lily: Well, let me know if you don’t want to hear my concerns.

Billy: Why wouldn’t I?

Lily: Because it’s the job that you wanted.

Ashland: Nothing to worry about, just battle lines being drawn, sabres being rattled.

Victoria: I don’t like the sound of that.

Adam: Mm, it was nothing. We were actually just making a friendly bet on how long I’ll be able to stick around under this new regime.

Victoria: Well, I’ll take the under.

Adam: Of course.

Victoria: Some of us actually have work to do, so if there’s nothing else.

Adam: Uh, I actually came by to let you know I hired a coo.

Victoria: Really? Who?

Adam: Sally spectra.

Victoria: Well, she’s a fashion designer. I mean, a very good one, but still, coo?

Adam: She has a business background. She ran a fashion house in la. She even held her own against the big boys out there. She has a unique perspective because she is creative and practical.

Ashland: Don’t forget calculating.

Victoria: You remember what she did to our niece, don’t you?

Adam: I do. Still unclear on how summer was harmed.

Victoria: Well, I’m sure that nick could clarify that for you.

Adam: Regardless of that event, she would like to move past that. She wants a clean slate. We have that in common.

Victoria: And this is why you think that she would make a good coo?

Adam: It’s one of the many reasons. And I feel strongly that I have made the right choice. So just so I’m clear — do i have the autonomy to hire and fire who I want or do I need to come to you with every decision that I make?

Victoria: You have leeway to make personnel decisions. Let’s just call it autonomy within reason. And as for your coo, I’m fine with it. You’re gonna have to train her and mentor her yourself, of course.

Adam: Well, thanks for your time. See you around the water cooler.

Ashland: You’re really okay with sally being in such an influential position? I mean, she designed a lovely wedding dress, but overseeing operations…

Victoria: Sally’s an opportunist. She’s also very reckless. Those are both traits that could work to our advantage over time.

Ashland: Two steps ahead of everybody again.

[ Chuckles ]

Victoria: So, tell me about the battle lines and the sabre rattling.

Ashland: Don’t worry about it.

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Sighs ] It’s your father. Hello, victor.

Victor: Hello, ashland. Would you mind coming by the ranch and have a talk with me?

Ashland: Well, I happen to be free right now. I’ll be right over.

Victor: Thank you.

Victoria: You’re going to meet with my father.

Ashland: Yes. I’ve been summoned.

Victoria: What does he want to talk about?

Ashland: I have no idea.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Billy: You know you can talk to me about anything, okay? And I really don’t like the fact that you would hide anything from me.

Lily: I know, it just feels very insensitive to complain about the demands of a job that, you know, you feel like you could do in your sleep.

Billy: There’s so many things wrong with that, I’m not even sure where to start. First of all, I haven’t been sleeping at all lately, so there’s that.

Lily: Okay, I’m trying to be serious right now.

Billy: Yes, and so am I. I do not hold a grudge because my mother picked you to run chancellor. But, yes, I did want the job, but you are the right person for this position, and I am very happy to be a team player.

Lily: Yeah, but we’re not co-captains.

Billy: That’s okay. Believe me, I am very excited about what we are building here. And as far as these moments of self-doubt, you don’t have to worry about that. And I will say that katherine, jill, neil — I’m sure they all felt the exact same way when they took over at chancellor. But you don’t have to compare yourself to them because you are the one and only lily winters — the smartest, savviest, strongest, sexiest ceo this company has ever had.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Well, I know I said that i didn’t need a pep talk, but that was pretty great, so thank you.

Billy: You’re welcome.

Nikki: Hi, darling.

Victor: Hi, sweetheart. How was your lunch with victoria?

Nikki: Very productive.

Victor: Good.

Nikki: I think the improvement in ashland’s health is really helping her. She’s very relaxed and focused and doesn’t have a cloud of worry over her head.

Victor: That’s good to know.

Nikki: I also ran into lily.

Victor: Oh. The new ceo of chancellor?

Nikki: Jill was so smart to bring her back to town to put her talent to good use. I mean, just the fact that she knows how to rein billy now and then shows her managerial skills.

Victor: But, sweetheart, the fact that she got involved with billy boy abbott in the first place doesn’t speak well of her judgment, does it?

Nikki: Well, they’re happy, so I can’t begrudge them that, especially since victoria has moved on and is happily remarried.

Victor: Yeah. By the way, ashland is on the way over.

Nikki: Oh. Why?

Victor: Just want to have a conversation with him one-on-one.

Nikki: About what?

Victor: Not important.

Nikki: Well, then tell me.

Victor: You promise me, not a word of this to victoria, okay?

Nikki: Alright, yes, i understand.

Victor: It seems that the clinic where ashland got his treatment in peru was not a clinic he just sort of stumbled upon. Turns out, he has known about it for years. Has been sending money to it for years.

Nikki: I don’t know what that means. I mean, has he been making charitable donations?

Victor: Nothing charitable about it. It was a tax haven. A tax-dodging scheme. Send him in. Has victoria ever mentioned anything to you about ashland’s connection to the clinic?

Nikki: No, I don’t think she knows anything about this.

Ashland: Oh, I’m — I’m sorry, I hope I’m not interrupting.

Nikki: Oh, no. Good to see you, ashland.

Victor: Thank you for coming, ashland.

Nikki: I will let you two gentlemen talk.

Victor: Alright, sweetheart. Ashland, please have a seat.

Ashland: Thank you. So, what is it you would like to discuss, victor?

Victor: Well, you know, last time, you mentioned this water treatment plant. I’m curious about it.

Ashland: I’d be happy to give you more details.

Victor: By the way, would you care for a drink, or is that not part of your treatment regimen?

Ashland: No, it’s fine. Thank you.

Victor: Alright.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: There we go.

Ashland: [ Clears throat ]

Victor: Cheers.

Ashland: Cheers.

Victor: You know, I find it just absolutely miraculous that you just found this clinic in the nick of time.

Ashland: Well, in truth, victor, it was a little more than just luck.

Victor: Really? Kids can change minds,

Adam: Everything okay?

Sally: Yeah, it’s all good. Just ran into billy. Guy’s really starting to get on my nerves.

Adam: [ Scoffs ] Really? I am a big fan, actually.

Sally: I just don’t understand how people can have everything more or less handed to them and still can’t be happy. And then when they find out about other people reaping the rewards of years of hard work, they resent it.

Adam: Look, I wouldn’t pay much attention to anything that billy abbot has to say.

Sally: That’s good advice. Where were you just now?

Adam: I went to see victoria.

Sally: Did you ask her about my becoming coo?

Adam: I did.

Sally: And? She’s not gonna let me have it, is she? All the newmans still hate me because of the summer thing, right?

Adam: Well, that did come up, actually.

Sally: I knew it. When am I gonna catch a break? Did you tell her that I’m working hard to prove myself?

Adam: I didn’t have much of a chance to get into that.

Sally: Okay, well, did you mention my business background?

Adam: I sure tried.

Sally: Well, I appreciate the effort. So does she not want me around at all? I mean, maybe there’s a lower position I could take? I can make myself practically invisible if that’s what I need to do to stay.

Adam: I’m afraid that won’t be possible.

Sally: Oh, man.

Adam: You’re going to have to be very visible because you are going to be helping me run a major media conglomerate.

Sally: What?!

Adam: Congratulations, madame coo. The job is yours.

Lily: Something sweet?

Billy: I bought that for you.

Lily: Well, we can share because you said nice things to me and knew how to make me feel better.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] Well, the truth is I knew what to say this time because I’ve lived through it. For most of my life, I’ve had this feeling of not meeting the expectations of the great john abbot or even my brother jack. Believe me, it was a waste of time.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: And I promise you that if my dad was still around, he would give you the same advice. You don’t have to emulate anyone. You do you. You have everything you need to succeed.

Lily: Yeah, nikki said that i can still hear my dad’s voice in my head, encouraging me and giving me confidence.

Billy: That’s good. Although it baffles me that you would be lacking in any confidence.

Lily: Well, I know I can do the job, I just…I don’t know, I have a little bit of anxiety.

Billy: I get that, and that’s natural, you know? That keeps you on your toes, so you don’t get complacent.

Lily: And it can also keep you up at night. Are we ever gonna talk about your insomnia?

Billy: We already have.

Lily: Okay, you say that nothing is bothering you, but if you are having trouble sleeping, then clearly there’s something going on.

Ashland: I was aware of the clinic before I got sick. In fact, because of a strange set of circumstances, I was one of their benefactors.

Victor: Wow. How did that happen?

Ashland: A few years ago, i had a colleague who was very ill. He was at the clinic being treated. The results were fantastic, but the clinic itself was going through some kind of a financial crisis. They were in jeopardy of losing their funding.

Victor: Sure.

Ashland: I saw it as a matter of life and death. So I wrote a check.

Victor: Just like that?

Ashland: Well, it wasn’t quite that simple. You know, international law, as you well know, being what it is. No, my accountant had to get creative with getting the money down there — shell corporations, wire transfers, that sort of thing.

Victor: Right.

Ashland: But we kept it afloat.

Victor: I think it’s a fantastic story, really. I mean, here you are, you bailed out this clinic, and a few years later, it saves your life.

Ashland: I like to think of it as karma.

Victor: Yes. Well, I kind of agree with you. Now, victoria never told me about this.

Ashland: Victoria doesn’t know.

Victor: Oh.

Ashland: I intentionally kept it from her.

Victor: And why is that?

Ashland: Technically, it wasn’t ethical.

[ Chuckles ] Why should I have to jump to the front of the line to get this treatment? But we managed to keep that part of it quiet. It didn’t become an issue. I just…I didn’t want victoria to worry that it might create some kind of obstacle.

Victor: Mm.

Ashland: She already has so much to worry about.

Victor: Oh, yeah, yeah. And we want to protect victoria above all else, you know. What can I du with less asthma?

Sally: I cannot believe that you let me think victoria rejected me becoming coo. I thought I was fired and out on the street. How could you do something so mean?

Adam: I know. I know I shouldn’t have. I guess I just imagined when you found out you go the job that you would be so happy you’d throw your arms around me like you did the other day.

Sally: I thought we agreed that we shouldn’t even be thinking along those lines.

Adam: You are right. So forget I mentioned it.

Sally: It’s forgotten.

Billy: You have enough on your plate. We don’t need to worry about my sleep schedule.

Lily: Okay, our relationship is not one-sided, alright? If there’s something going on with you, then tell me, so I can do something to help.

Billy: You’ve already helped with this issue.

Lily: How?

Billy: By partnering with hamilton-winters on this podcast. Honestly, I am very excited about it. I can’t stop thinking about possible guests or concepts or content and how to market the show. I think it’s gonna be great.

Lily: Okay, but how does that help with your sleep pattern?

Billy: Because it’s a creative outlet. My creative juices are flowing, right? So there’s no room for stress or anxiety. I’m gonna sleep like a baby tonight.

Lily: And dream of podcasts?

Billy: Absolutely.

Lily: You done?

Billy: Thank you.

Nikki: Ashland left?

Victor: Yeah.

Nikki: Well, what’s the verdict?

Victor: I don’t know yet. He had an answer for everything. Something is off.

Nikki: Well, he had an answer for everything, that’s good.

Victor: Well, not really. You know, his answers were too glib, too polished. Troubles me.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] Hi, there. Scotch, neat, please.

[ Groans ]

[ Sighs ] Thank you so much.

[ Cellphone rings ] Mm. Yeah. An american is asking questions about me in peru. Is it — is he a journalist? Is he a private investigator? What does he want to know? Yeah, that’s not really an answer. No, no. This doesn’t change anything. Everything stays the same. We stick to the plan.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 

No, it looks like something went wrong.You startled me. Well, you know, I live up in the main house, right? Have you seen michael? He wasn’t at the gatehouse. Is this about dante? I thought he was gonna be all right? It’s not about dante.

[ Sighs ] Carly, you seem upset. What’s going on? It’s about sonny. And by the way, I really want to thank you for your great advice that you gave me earlier. About going to see sonny at the haunted star? Did you go? Yeah, I went. And I found him in bed with another woman. Britt, listen, it’s nina. It’s important. I really need to talk to you. Call me back. Thank you.

[ Sighs ] Sonny. Yeah, dante’s here. I need to see my son.

[ Indistinct conversations ] It makes sense, though, that victor would help peter. He’s done it in the past. Well, but victor also swore that he ended that partnership with peter, but I guess if he sees that there’s something for him to gain, he probably would have fired it back up. But do you think that he would risk his immunity deal with the wsb? Yeah, it’s possible. He alluded to the fact that he had all these plans for peter. That actually tracks with another one of my theories. Keep you posted. Oh. I’m gonna check in with kevin.

[ Sighs ] Ok. So many unanswered questions. Yeah. Like where do we start? Well, how did victor find out that bailey was maxie’s daughter? Austin: Hey. Where are you going? I don’t know. I-I need to do something, though — stretch my legs. I don’t know. If I stop and think about what’s going on, I’m going to lose my mind. Yeah, I’m sure.

[ Sighs ] How’s your mom? She’s — she’s fine. She’s with mac. And… how’s mac? He — he’s going to be ok. They said he’s going to pull through. That’s great. You must be — you must be so relieved. I am. For the first time tonight, I actually have some hope. That’s great. Hang on to that. It’s important. We’re going to find your louise, maxie, I promise. Kevin, there you are.

[ Sighs ] What’s wrong? I was expecting that you’d be in a terrific mood, given mac’s really strong prognosis. Oh, no, the news about mac is great. Then what’s wrong? I’ve been trying to call charlotte since I left her at home alone. She’s not answering. What have you done with charlotte? I knew you’d double-cross me, so I took out a little insurance policy. Dante and laura are busy putting out fires. Valentin’s mia altogether. Which left poor little charlotte all alone tonight. I wonder where she could be. Alright. No more games. I want her back now, unharmed. Well, that depends on you, doesn’t it, victor? See, I do know where charlotte is, but if something were to happen to me, well… my god, I wonder if you’d ever even find her. Hey, bud. Thanks for coming out to cheer me on. Dad, I’m — I’m always here. I’m always here for you, too. Okay. Go, dad.

[ Chuckles ] Thanks. No, everyone’s passing you in the race. Oh. You got it, coach!


I really do appreciateyour positive attitude. I’m trying my best to lean into hope right now. Ok. I mean, if it were easy, everybody’d do it, right? And the world would have zero problems. I know it’s difficult, but in the end, hope is totally worth it. Britt:

[ Sighs ] Maxie. Maxie, there you are. Maxie: What are you guys doing here? I can’t believe about peter. We came as soon as we heard the news. I-I took the liberty of calling them. I thought you might need the extra moral support. I’ll take all the support I can get right now. I promise you this, maxie — peter won’t be free for long. I-I hope you’re right. I hope someone finds peter and gives him the slow, painful death he deserves. And of all of the misery he’s inflicted, the worst may be how his twisted plans left you to worry about your missing daughter all these months. What? Is there some news about louise? Ok, there is a lot that you both don’t know, and I think it’s time I tell you. Victor: Give me that. Now, where is she? You’re so predictable, victor. You know, your family is your weakness. Tell me, or I’ll make you beg to tell me. Well, I will tell you this — port charles is full of so many abandoned warehouse. Now, if charlotte were to be locked away in one of those, it would be a great hiding place, don’t you think? Start a search immediately. Well, even if you were to find the right one, who’s to say the entrance hasn’t been rigged with some kind of security measure? What is it you want? To complete our bargain. So, can I get up now? Charlotte, it’s grandma. Uh, listen, honey, I-I don’t know if you’re doing your homework or you’re video-chatting with your friends, but it’s very important that, when you get this, you call us right back, ok? Thanks, honey. You know, that’s probably exactly what it is. [ Laughs ] It’s probably just fine. I just feel guilty leaving her home alone. Kevin, stop. She’s 13 years old, and we have left her home alone before. Yeah, that’s true. You know how she gets when she’s watching a movie. Esme is meant to be home pretty soon, too. Esme. Esme. Yeah, ok. Let me just see here. Esme, it’s laura. Hey, um, how close are you to my apartment? Oh, ok, that’s great. Listen, do me a favor. When you get home, have charlotte call us right away, please. We’re a little concerned that something may have happened. Carly, let’s go inside. It’s warmer here. Come on. I’m sorry. I-I’m not mad at you, drew. Maybe you should be. I’m — I’m serious. I’m the idiot who encouraged you to go and make things right. I-I want you to know, I — I thought sonny — I thought you guys were on the same page about this. I’m the idiot. I didn’t listen to my instincts. I knew nina was trouble, and I knew sonny was blind to it. I-it just kind of blows my mind how quickly sonny gave up on this big grand gesture to you — blows your mind? I was five minutes late and I walked in on sonny in bed with nina. I’m sorry. God. I knew there was more going on than sonny’s bizarre sympathy for nina. I knew it, but I was just so happy to have him home. I was so, so grateful that he was home. I didn’t listen to my instincts. I mean, I just wanted my family to be together, so I went along to get along, and… oh, my god, for the first time in my life, I got played.

[ Laughing ] And the whole time, the real villain was standing right in front of me. Nina. Or — or sonny? Both. Hey. Hey. What happened with dante? Have you seen him? Um, dante is gonna be fine. But… [ Sighs ] Peter august escaped again. So he got injured trying to stop peter? Dante was trying to be his usual brave self, but before he realized it was a partial inside job, he got knocked over the head pretty hard. Did he get a concussion? The doctors released him so he could search for peter.

[ Scoffs ] So peter got away.

[ Sighs ] At least dante’s ok? Look. -Hey. -Hey. Hey. What the — ah, it’s ok. I’m good. Are you sure? Doctor clear you? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, pretty much. What do you mean, “yeah, yeah?” Well, he said I’d have some headaches and stuff like that, but I’m ok. I’m more interested in finding brook lynn’s baby. I don’t know un– brook lynn’s baby? Peter kidnapped her after he escaped custody. What does he want with brook lynn’s baby? Is this a hostage situation, or he wants to, you know, get some leverage if he gets caught? Dante: Yeah. Peter knows the truth, doesn’t he? Yes, that’s what we think, yes. Well, what truth? Well, some–

[ Sighs ] Somehow, peter found out that the baby that brook lynn’s been caring for is really maxie’s daughter, which means all these secrets that we’ve been keeping have been for nothing.


So do you think that sonny and nina — do you think they were having an affair the entire time that he’s been back? I don’t know. I can’t believe this. I mean, sonny asked me to come to the haunted star tonight because he had this big, amazing, romantic night planned, and when I don’t show up on his timetable, he calls his back up? He calls nina? So, sonny reached out to nina? Or did nina just happen to show up there? I don’t care. It doesn’t matter. I mean, he was in bed with nina when I got there.

[ Stammers ] The whole thing just isn’t making any sense. I — I — maybe sonny just thought that you were giving up on your marriage because you didn’t show up. Well, those are sonny’s ridiculous terms, ok? Because I don’t get past my pain when he wants me to, that gives him the right to jump in bed with the woman who caused all of this?! What the hell does that say about sonny? What does it say about my marriage? I don’t know. I — I honestly — I — I truly don’t know. What does — what does it say?

[ Laughs ] You know, even after sonny defended her and protected me, and I really thought this was a hurdle that we could get over. I knew it would be hard, and I knew it would take a lot of time, but I thought we would get past it. Now my… my marriage is over. Brook lynn never had a daughter? Anna: No. No, and she promised maxie that she would raise louise as her own to keep her safe from peter, a-and it worked. Sonny, I mean, it worked for months. I had no idea. Well, maxie explained that she told you everything months ago, and that you were one of the few people that knew that brook lynn was never pregnant. Yeah, I tri– I tried to convince her to at least tell valentin, let him in on the plan so his heart wasn’t broken, but she thought that the more people who knew, the greater the chance that it would get back to peter, and in the end, I agreed with her. The most important thing was keeping that baby safe. So, nina, you knew this back in nixon falls? I’m gonna tell michael and kristina that you’re ok. Dante: Alright. We’ll see you. Yeah. Yeah, you know what, um… let’s go for a walk. I gotta call my mom. Ok. So, um, any new leads on where peter might be? Possibly. Maybe you can help with that? Yeah. I’ll do anything. Just name it. Have you spoken to valentin recently or heard from him?

[ Sighs ]

[ Tires squealing ] Jeez.

[ Engine revving, horn honking ]

[ Man groans ] Oh, my god!

[Panting] Please call anna… anna devane… no , I haven’t talkedto valentin in, like, days. Why? Do you think there’s a problem? Do — do you think that valentin knows where peter is? No, no. I’m just really concerned that he’s made himself a target.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Excuse me. Ok. I’ll let you take your phone call, but will you keep me updated? Yes, of course. Hello? Is this anna devane? Who is this? I think I found a friend of yours. I was going to call 9-1-1, but he insisted I call you first. You should know, he’s in bad shape. Anna! Valentin! Get him up. Alright, what are your terms? Simple. You do exactly as you originally intended — arrange my transportation out of port charles from a boat on this dock. Once you do that, I’ll send you a pin with charlotte’s location. How can you be sure I won’t betray you? Oh, I have enough dirt on you, old man — anna, valentin, everyone else will know exactly who arranged for my escape. Well, do we have a deal? Britt: Maxie, I can’t believe this. You were actually my plan “a”, britt. And then you wound up on the run with jason, so I asked bobbie to help me give birth in a house in beechers corners. But of course, peter had a plan of his own with fake nurse chloe. It’s really a miracle that I was able to give louise to brook lynn. And in all these months, you didn’t think you could confide in me or britta? I really thought the fewer people that knew, the better. But — I didn’t even tell my parents. Anything to keep my daughter safe. I of all people know that you must do everything in your power to protect your family. Don’t worry about our feelings now. What’s important is that we find louise. I agree. I don’t know how peter found out about louise, but he must have. I mean, otherwise, why would he have taken her? It can’t be a coincidence. Do you think whoever helped him escape told him the truth about louise? Well, you said the only other two people who knew were nina and chase, right? Victor would be just the type of swine to help peter again. But how could he have figured out that bailey was really louise? Oh, god, no. Austin, what is it? Alright, um, there is a possibility that victor does know the truth about louise. And if that’s the case, it’s all my fault.


[ Sighs ] I had a feeling I’d find you here. I won’t intrude, I just — I just wanted to make sure that everything was ok. Well, I can’t really worry about my marriage right now. I’m just glad that dante’s ok and maxie’s daughter comes home safely to her. Yeah. Ok, then I’ll give you some privacy. You know what? You really knew that… bailey was louise, didn’t you? Well, not on day one, but I knew pretty early on, yes. So when you were in nixon falls and peter was blackmailing you… …you were actually playing him. Please don’t tell me to give my marriage another shot. I’m just going to say that… I’m surprised how certain you seem. Every time I close my eyes, I see sonny in bed with nina. That’s pretty much the point of no return for me. Infidelities that they — they can be — they can be worked on, they can be worked through, and sometimes, they can be forgiven. Right.

[ Laughs ] He tried to throw jason in my face. Now, I know — I know that you and jason were married, and I understand the official story was that it was for the business, but that wasn’t the whole story, was it? No. We were in love. And that never would have happened if nina would have done the right thing. I’ve worked so hard on putting my marriage back together, and I feel like I’ve been working by myself. I really do. And, um… maybe walking in and seeing sonny in bed with nina was the smack in the face that I needed… to realize that my marriage died the night that that bridge collapsed. You know, it’s like, um… shattered crystal — you just can’t put the pieces back together. Hmm. It’s the old saying, “you can’t go home again.” And I feel the same way. You, uh — you doing ok? You just got knocked on the head and you’re asking me if I’m doing ok? Look, it seems like whatever you and drew were talking about, that… it took a lot out of you. Anna: Dante! Hi, sam. They found

valentin. They did? Where? Yeah, they’re bringing him in an ambulance. I’m going to see what I can find out. Hey, esme, are you at the apartment? Is charlotte there? Oh, my god. What? Uh, ok, look. Um… go in the house, lock the door, call the police. Stay on the phone with the police until somebody gets there to help you. We’ll get there as soon as we can. Bye. What’s going on? When she got there, there was a pizza delivery guy u-unconscious in the hallway. The door to the apartment is open and charlotte is nowhere to be seen. I’ll agree to your terms. I’m going to need your phone. Now, this isn’t the exact address, but it’s within the vicinity. Once the ship is docked here, I’ll send you the exact location of where charlotte is being held. If she’s harmed in any way, you’re a dead man.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Alright. Let’s go. How could this be your fault? You didn’t know bailey was louise. Alright, so you know that I was having a really hard time with brook lynn, and so was valentin, and it — [ Sighs ] Somehow, valentin’s uncle, victor, got involved. And then victor came to me and he had a sonogram, but the patient information had been torn off. And I told him how he could track down the patient. So it’s possible… that you led peter to my daughter? Y– I — um… I don’t — I don’t — I don’t know what to say. No, I… I wouldn’t say anything. I can’t right now. I wouldn’T.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Hello? Hello, maxie. Missing something?


Hi. Is valentin in there? Yes. Ok. Thank you.

[ Monitor beeping ]

[ Mouthing ]

[ Whispering

]Someone should have told me. So meone should havetold me. Has he been drinking? I think your friend might have gone on a bender. He’s lucky someone found him when he passed out. Did you do a blood alcohol test yet? Was just about to. Okay, great. I’m his emergency contact. I’m listed as that. Could you please keep me posted? Yes. Thank you, diana. Valentin, I’m here. I’m here. It’s me. What the hell happened? Bailey… bailey’s in danger.

[ Mutters ] Peter, where is louise? Oh, so we’re calling bailey by her original name now, are we? Well, I’ll have you know that our daughter is safe and sound. She’s with me, and I would never let anything happen to her. But don’t take my word for it. Why don’t you come see for yourself? Where?

Pier 55. Come alone. And, maxie, if I get even a whiff of the police or anyone following you, I will disappear so fast, and you’ll never see louise again.

And before you ask

how I’ll know, you should understand that I have people everywhere, maxie, and I will vanish into thin air if I even sense for a second that you’re going to betray me. Do you understand? Yes, I understand. Good. Leave your phone behind. Drop a pin to this number so I know you did. Pier 55. I just hope… anna’s hunch pays off and valentin has a lead on where to find louise. Me, too.

[ Sighs ] Look, I, uh… I’m sorry I asked you about… your conversation with drew. That’s — that’s, um… that’s between you guys, and you don’t owe me any explanations whatsoever. Hey. I appreciate the space that you’re offering, but it’s not necessary. I know when drew came back, things got a little wonky between the two of us. Well, th-that — whatever. That’s to be expected. He’s scout’s father. I know. And as scout’s father, I am always going to care for him. But when you got injured, I was really worried about you.

[ Chuckles ] And when I found out that you were going to be ok, it just — it hit me. I mean, just like that. What? My future is with you. I love you. Carly: What do you mean? What home can’t you go back to? No, no, no, no, I’m here to listen tonight. Oh, please. Please. Carly. I would give anything not to think about sonny and nina. Ok, um… well, things just kind of came to a head in my personal life tonight, that’s all. And not in a good way? Let’s just say that there’s — there’s a lot of, um… really horrible things about being imprisoned, obviously. I mean, you can’t live the life that you want. The food is horrible. You get beat up all the time, all of that. It’s — it’s — it’s horrendous. But he worst thing by far is the monotony — is — is hour after hour, day after day of nothing. And so, um…whateve r cellthey put me in, I would — I would just scratch scout’s name in the wall. You know, give me something to focus on. Give me a reason to survive. And the thing is, is that, um… it was impossible for me to focus on scout without thinking about her mom. My prior life in port charles. Right. And if I’m being completely honest right now, back when jason first reappeared, like, I knew, in that moment — I knew that sam would go back to him. So when she told me that she broke up with jason, it just — it just kind of messed with my head, that’s all. I bet it did. My memories o-of port charles are what kept me going, and that’s all, but now that I’m back, it’s like, I don’t know what’s real, I don’t know what’s fantasy. Especially considering co-parenting with sam has just felt so right. Um… it took me a minute to realize that sam’s not the same person she was two years ago. You know, she’s stronger. She got over jason. She got over me. And her heart is with somebody else. But that is life, right? And I think we all tell ourselves little lies so that we can live to fight another day. Ghs uddenly becamevery complicated. You know, I never could quite reconcile the nina I knew with the person peter was blackmailing. I accepted that the — the horrible secret you kept from carly was because you were angry. But it never made sense to me why you would let peter blackmail you over that secret. But the reason you did it was because you knew that maxie’s daughter was safe with brook lynn. And you let peter blackmail you so you could send him on a wild goose chase to the caribbean. Right? You could distract him. Why are you making it sound like what I did was noble, sonny? It wasn’T. I should have called the police the second that I saw peter, but I didn’T. My actions were purely out of desperation. I’m not a saint. I never said you were. It’s just not black and white, is it? Nothing is anymore. So, sam made it clear that she’s with dante now? She did, and, um… and she is. I’m sure that didn’t feel very good.

[ Scoffs ] The writing was on the wall, I just chose not to read it. I kept… holding on to something that wasn’t there anymore.

[ Chuckles ] Tell me about it. You keep fighting for something because at one point in your life, it was — it was everything to you, and you don’t think that you can go on without it. Yeah. And you feel like it’s your responsibility to hold it together. We just keep holding on to the past… instead of being in the moment. Doing what we should… instead of what we want.


Maxie. Maxie, can we do anything? I’m ok. I just need a minute. Can we just talk for one second? What is there to talk about? I trusted you! Because you convinced me to trust you! But you couldn’t let go of your petty revenge, and now my daughter is in the hands of her psychopath father! I did not mean for it to go this way.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Where are you going? I’m going to find my daughter.

[ Ship horn honks ] Right on time. I realize that all I’ve ever done is add trouble to your life. And tonight is proof of that. And no matter how angry I have been at carly, I never intended for this to happen, especially when I see how much pain you’re in. You’re not responsible for my actions. Well, I’m responsible for my actions. And I truly hate that I’ve made it even more difficult for you to salvage your marriage. I’m starting to believe it can’t be saved. We can’t do this. We can’t do this. I’m sorry, I — I thought — you thought that I wanted you to kiss me, and I do. But for all the wrong reasons. I’m just so focused on sonny, and I just want to hurt him. Oh. And you want to hurt sam, and you’re focused on sam, right? Yeah, I’m not — I don’t want to hurt sam, but maybe I wanted something to help me forget her. Maybe if — if — uh, you know, you were a stranger.

[ Laughs ] But, um, your friendship means too much to me. And we’re vulnerable right now, and you being jason’s brother just makes it… oh, it would be very messy. Right. Yeah, I mean, we just have a lot going on to get caught up in, uh, this.

[ Monitor beeping ] There was no sign of alcohol in mr. Cassadine’s bloodstream. Oh, just as I thought. Someone tried to make it look as though he were drunk, probably to dismiss anything that he had to say. Yeah. Thank you so much. Hey, valentin, I need you to focus. What’s the last thing you remember? Bailey… bailey is maxie’s daughter. Oh, you’ve figured it out. That’s probably why you disappeared. Ok, I’m going to need your help in finding her. So who told you about this? Or were you with someone when you figured it out? Laura: Have you seen anna devane? Nurse: She’s right in there.

[ Footsteps approaching ] Anna. Yeah? Oh, my god! Oh, no. It’s — he’s going to be alright. He going to be alright. What is it?

[ Sighs ] It’s charlotte. Something’s happened.


You, uh… you love me? Yeah, I know. It was new to me, too, and I found myself talking to nina, and — and I just — I just kind of said it. And then I thought to myself, if I could say it to a mere stranger, then I should — I should probably be able… to feel comfortable enough to say it to you. So I did. I said to you, and I said it. I love you. I did it. I love you.

[ Laughs ] Ahh! Don’t — don’t — please don’t feel like you have to say it back to me just because I said it. No, I don’T. Look. There’s no… there’s no pressure to say anything. I’ve wanted to say this for a while, sam. I love you. You do? Yeah. Well, I’m glad that, uh, you were thinking clearly enough for both of us. I should go. Hmm. Um, thank you. Thank you for talking to me. Anytime. Anytime you ever want to talk or just hang out and think about anything else. I’m going to hold you to that. I have a lot of regrets about what happened tonight — what went down and… what carly saw and… what I said to her. But I realize that carly had a point. About what? What happened between us in nixon falls in the past… it’s not just the past. It’s in the here and now. No matter how much I try to deny it…

[ Sighs ] I gotta — I gotta —

[ Sighs ] I gotta see dante. Yeah. Alright. What’s happened to charlotte? She’s been staying with us, but when esme came home, she found a pizza delivery man unconscious in the hallway, but no charlotte. No! It’s peter, isn’t it?! It has to be! Son of a bitch! Police have been notified. Ok, so what — what is the timeframe? How long has she been missing? Charlotte: Grandma! Oh, my god. Charlotte?! I ordered pizza, but when I opened the door, someone grabbed me! Oh, sweetheart! Charlotte, look who’s here.

[ Shouts ] Are you hurt? I’m fine, come here. Let me look at you. Are you hurt? No, they locked me in a building, and I was trying to get out when someone saved me. Anna: Who? Who, dear? Grandpa victor! I didn’t think going after brook lynn would end up like this. How could you? You didn’t know the truth about bailey. And eventually, maxie will understand. Don’t come to me expecting sympathy. I’m fresh out of it. Now we all must come together to clean up your mess and make sure maxie’s baby is brought home safely. And when this is all over, you will answer to me. Maxie, I’m so glad you came. Louise, honey, it’s ok. If you want to see our daughter, it’s gonna be on my terms now. And what are those? I’m leaving the country with louise, maxie, so I want you to say goodbye to her here and now, knowing you’ll never see her again. Or… …you come with us, and we’ll be a family forever.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Ridge: There’s something I need to know about brooke?

Taylor: I wish I didn’t have to tell you this, ridge. But if brooke would have been honest with you, I wouldn’t have–

Ridge: Honest with me about what?

Taylor: A–about new year’s eve and what she did.

Ridge: I already know what she did?

Taylor: I don’t think you do.

Ridge: I don’t? I don’t–I don’t understand.

Taylor: You know what? I don’t understand either. I will never understand how brooke says that she loves you and keeps doing the things that she does and you keep getting hurt in the process. I’ll never understand.

[ Taylor sighing ] But the truth has to come out. It’s about what brooke did on new year’s eve. And what she’s been keeping from you ever since.

Steffy: I’m sorry if the truth hurts.

Brooke: What truth? That you never wanted me in your father’s life? Much less married to him? I’ve always known that, steffy. But I never gave up hoping that you might come around.

Steffy: And I never gave up hope that you’d learn from your past. Never hurt my father again. Obviously, that was wishful thinking.

Brooke: All right, look. I don’t wanna do this, okay? I will tell your father that you stopped by.

Steffy: What, are you throwing me out?

Brooke: No. No, I’m asking you to leave so that this doesn’t escalate.

Steffy: I’m just asking questions. You’re the one that’S…being defensive.

Brooke: I’m not being defensive. I would just like to avoid–

Steffy: Giving me what? A straight answer?

[ Brooke scoffing ]

Brooke: What are you talking about? What–what straight answer?

Steffy: Do you really think I don’t have a right to question your commitment to my father?

[ Hope sighing ]

Liam: Hey.

Hope: Hey.

Liam: I got your text and I just wasn’t sure what to make of it, so I headed home. What’s going on?

Hope: Well, I’m sure you can guess.

Liam: Your mom. Okay, did something else happen?

Hope: No. It’s about to.

Liam: Is it deacon? Is deacon gonna go back on his promise and tell ridge everything that happened between him and your mom on new year’s?

Sheila: You know, you are going to wear a hole in that carpet. Maybe you should add something to your coffee.

Deacon: Yeah, nice try. You know, if you spent half as much time worrying about your son–

Sheila: You know what? You don’t have to bite my head off. I asked a simple question. You said, “if ridge only knew.” So, I simply said, “if ridge knew what?” Where is there harm in that? Unless… you said more than you intended to.

Sheila: I have a sixth sense about these things.

Deacon: You’re not gonna tell me you see dead people, are you? What things?

Sheila: The little slips that people inadvertently make that reveal a lot more than they ever intended.

Deacon: Okay, so now you’re psychic, right?

Sheila: You don’t need to be a psychic to know and see that there’s a lot more that went on between you and brooke new year’s eve than throwing back a few shots. Right?

Hope: This isn’t about my dad. I mean, not how you mean, anyway.

Liam: Okay, good. So deacon is staying quiet.

Hope: Not that it matters now.

Liam: Well, it matters. It matters because if deacon did go to ridge–

Hope: It would be too late.

Liam: Too late for what? I don’t understand what you’re saying right now.

Hope: Okay. My mom has been keeping this secret and it is eating her alive.

Liam: Yeah, I don’t blame her, but she’s been pretty adamant on not talking because if the truth ever comes out–

Hope: The truth always comes out sooner or later and that is something that my mom is well aware of, which is why she’s made the decision to tell ridge everything about what happened that night.

Steffy: You seem to think I have no right to question your commitment to my father. Why is that?

Brooke: Maybe because it isn’t anything new. Over the years, you’ve been very vocal about how you feel about ridge and me as a couple.

Steffy: For a good reason, as it turns out.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: Look, I know that you’ve always wanted your parents together, and I’m sure that you’ll never give up on that dream, but ridge made his choice.

Steffy: And nothing could possibly change that. Or so you think.

Taylor: Brooke is your wife and of course you love her, but if I were to turn a blind eye to this–

Ridge: Turn a blind eye to what?

Taylor: To what she did on new year’s eve that you don’t know about. I hate that I even have to tell you this, ridge, because I know how it’s going to hurt you, but I wouldn’t be a friend if I didn’t tell you–

Ridge: Don’T. Don’T. You don’t have to tell me. Like I said before, I already know.

Taylor: No, you don’T.

Ridge: Yes, I do.

Taylor: You do?

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: And you’re okay with it? You’re okay with what brooke did? People everywhere living with

Deacon: You know what that is? That’s you, fishing, trying to get me to say something–

Sheila: No, I’m trying to convince you that you can confide in me.

Deacon: Confide in you? If something else did happen between me and brooke, given your history with her, you would be the last person I’d confide in.

Sheila: You expect me to believe that nothing more happened between you and brooke on new year’s eve? I’m not buying it.

Deacon: Well, good. I’m not selling anything.

Sheila: Come on.

Deacon: No.

Sheila: Don’t be this way.

Sheila: No, you need to stop, all right? Just stop causing problems for brooke. I’m not having it. I’m not letting it happen.

Hope: And what if I’m wrong? What if ridge isn’t understanding and he isn’t forgiving and then that winds up costing my mom everything, losing the love of her life.

Liam: I–I, okay. I was being cautious. We don’t know that– that she would lose him, although it seems… pretty clear that it’d test their marriage in multiple ways.

Hope: It absolutely is going to. But, if I’m being honest, they have been through far worse and they keep winding up back together again. However, with taylor back in town…

Liam: What…what’s the worry there? That ridge would like turn to her if the truth came out? Or–

Hope: I’m sure steffy would love that. You know what? I hope steffy stays out of it and just lets them deal with it on their own because the last thing that I want is for that stupid forrester-logan rivalry to fire up again and with my mom and taylor fighting over ridge and it’s just like, the ripple effects that it has on our family, I don’t want that and I can’t imagine that steffy wants that either.

Brooke: I will be the first to admit that I’ve made mistakes in the past, but your father has always forgiven me. We love each other, steffy.

Steffy: You mean those… mistakes are behind you. But are they? Are they really, brooke?

Ridge: Oh, boy. How did you find out?

Taylor: Find out?

Ridge: About brooke.

Taylor: I was about to ask you the same thing. I had no idea you already knew.

Ridge: Because I know she told me.

Taylor: She did?

Ridge: Yeah. She feels terrible. Drinking on new year’S. Look… she’s going to get better, she’s going back to meetings, she’s going to get back on the wagon. She’ll be all right.

Taylor: I had no idea she drank on new year’S.

Ridge: That’s what we’re talking about, right? You said you found out.

Taylor: No, I–I didn’t know that.

[ Ridge groaning ] That might explain what happened. I brought in ensure max protein,

Liam: At the end of the day, this is between your mother and ridge, and like you, I hope it, you know, doesn’t turn into a thing, but our job right now is to just be there for your mom, no matter what happens. And look, you– you already have been.

Hope: I’m trying. My mom has been there for me through so much, and I just–I wanna do the same for her and so… I’m attempting to be encouraging and letting her know that ridge will… he’ll get past it in time. Hopefully. I mean, especially considering the circumstances were anything but normal that night.

Liam: I know it’s shoulda, coulda, woulda, but if deacon had just not left his phone that night, just that alone.

Hope: Wait, you’re not suggesting that my dad left his phone there on purpose, are you?

Liam: No, no, no. Oh, not even that. I’m just saying your mom wouldn’t be going through anything she’s going through right now if deacon hadn’t come back. Like yeah, she still might have taken a drink, but the kissing and the ending up in bed together, that part is the gut punch for ridge, right? It’s the fact that deacon, a guy who ridge has asked your mom to actually stay away from, ended up in her bed, which is his bed.

Deacon: Now, that does sound pretty damning, doesn’t it? And you remember that we were both fully clothed and I slept on top of the sheets.

Hope: Dad, hey, I didn’t realize you’d be stopping by.

Deacon: Yeah, so clearly I walked in on something. What’s going on?

Steffy: Actually, I’m trying to comprehend how my father is putting up with everything that’s gone on recently. Like you and hope insisting deacon be part of your lives.

Brooke: I don’t wanna talk about deacon.

Steffy: I’m sure.

Brooke: Except to say that deacon is hope’s father and hope wants a relationship with him.

Steffy: I get that, as misguided as it is, considering that deacon is a lowlife, but how can you embrace and accept him, especially with your history? You betrayed bridget. Your own daughter to get with deacon. You must be really into him. And my father must be a saint for putting up with your past. Hm.

Ridge: Wait, if this is the first y–you’re hearing of brooke’s drinking, then what did you mean repeating old patterns.

Taylor: Oh, god.

Ridge: Because you know, I never would’ve said anything to you if I didn’t think that you knew about it, that you heard about it because this is– this is private. This is her deal and… she regrets everything that happened.

Taylor: She does.

Ridge: Yes.

Taylor: The drinking.

Ridge: Yeah, what the– yeah, that’s what we’re talking about, right? What kind of a question is that? This is– this is hard. This is hard for her. We’re figuring it out. We’re going to meetings, we’re going to counselling, we’re gonna– yes, we’re gonna figure this out together because we always do.

Taylor: That has been true in the past and god knows you guys have gotten through what most couples could have never gotten through with her seemingly unforgivable things she’s done to you, but… there’s gotta be a limit, ridge. I understand your defense of brooke… but your commitment is misplaced.

Trelegy for copd.

Sheila: Oh, I know more happened between deacon and brooke than just drinking. But, if deacon won’t spill the beans… one way or another, I will find out everything and I will bury brooke logan once and for all.

Hope: How much did you hear?

Deacon: Enough to know you guys were talking about that night.

Liam: Well, what do you expect? She’s worried about her mother and ridge’s marriage.

Deacon: Why? Did something else happen?

Hope: Mom can’t keep going like this anymore. She’s hiding a secret from her husband. From ridge. And it’s consuming her entire life when she should be focusing on her sobriety and taking care of herself and it has gotten to the point where… where she feels like she has to do something about it.

Deacon: Wait. You’re not saying that she’s gonna…

Hope: Mom is gonna tell ridge about everything that happened between the two of you that night.

Brooke: Steffy, I’m not gonna stand here and listen to this. I really need to talk to your father about something, so if you don’t mind–

Steffy: No, no, no. Not just yet. There’s more that I need to say.

Brooke: What are you doing? Why are you doing this now? Bringing up old grievances and spewing your animosity?

Steffy: My family was destroyed because of you and you’ve always been smug about it. You’re gonna get what’s coming to you… sooner than you realize.

Ridge: I don’t know what you’re getting at, but I’ve gotta get back to my wife. She texted me and I wanna make sure she’s okay. Wanna make sure she knows she’s not alone.

Taylor: Right. Because you don’t want her to start drinking.

Ridge: Why do you do that? Why? She made a mistake. And she feels badly about it. You as a psychiatrist should understand that.

Taylor: Yeah, I do, and I’m also sober, so I’d have a lot of empathy if that was all that happened, but it’s not–

Ridge: Okay. Then what is it? What else happened? Let me have it! Just say it, please!

Taylor: This is so hard to tell you because I know how committed you are–

Ridge: I’m committed to my wife, yes.

Taylor: But that commitment isn’t reciprocated, ridge. Otherwise, she wouldn’t turn to other men. Men like bill spencer, right? It wasn’t that long ago that she was with him. Steffy told me all about it. Bill spencer is another man that you despise.

Ridge: Why would you do that?

Taylor: You deserve to be loved, ridge. You do. You deserve to be honored and appreciated and respected. And I just– I don’t think brooke is capable of that. She has this inherent flaw. This insatiable need to be wanted and desired by– by–by other men. That’s just– it’s who she is. It’s who she is at her core. She is–

Ridge: No, no, no, no! I’m not going to listen to this anymore. I’m not going to have you question that my wife loves me.

Taylor: You should!

Ridge: Why?

Taylor: Because she didn’t just drink on new year’s, ridge. There’s more.

Ridge: What’s–what’s more? You were there now? You were with her? No, you weren’T. She was alone.

Taylor: No, sh– she wasn’T. She was with another man you despise. A man that has been infiltrating your life for the last couple of months. Deacon.

Ridge: That’s it. That’s the big reveal after all that? I know deacon was there, and he left with hope, liam and the kids.

Taylor: Yes… but he came back. You weren’t there. He went back to brooke’S. I don’t know if they were drinking or not, I–I– I am not sure, but what I do know is that… brooke has let you down again. She has betrayed her vows to you. With deacon.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Lily: [ Sighs ] Oh, my god. I am so exhausted. I remember when the twins used to ask if they could fall asleep on the couch because they were too tired to go to bed and i thought it was so hilarious and now I know exactly how they felt. Are you ready to go to bed?

Billy: No, not — not yet. I’m still, um — still a little wired.

Lily: Wired? I thought the podcast project was gonna help you curb your insomnia.

Billy: It will. I promise it will, eventually. But right now I still got a bunch of thoughts running through my mind, and I think it’s better I kind of clear the slate a little bit before I lay in bed staring up at the ceiling, like I’ve been doing for the last little while.

Lily: You know, you keep saying that this isn’t a big deal, but it’s been going on for a few nights.

Billy: I don’t want you to worry about this, okay? Because I am not worried. This is just a little bit of a phase, and everything’s gonna be fine. Now, you jump into our bed, get all cozy, and I will see you there soon.

Lily: Okay. Well, don’t be too long.

Billy: I won’T.

[ Sighs ] What the hell is going on with you?

Abby: Do you think dominic woke up ’cause he could sense my anxiety and concern? I mean, babies are sensitive like that. They can pick up on those things.

Chance: Hey, let’s try to relax, okay? It’s all good. I doubt he’s picking up on your stress. He’s just not feeling well. That’s probably why he woke up, right? Let’s try not to worry. Now that he’s asleep, there’s nothing we can do. He’s gonna be totally fine.

Abby: You really think so?

Chance: I do. I mean, devon would not have gone home otherwise. Trust me. And when we get these latest test results, we’ll update him.

Abby: Just the waiting is so excruciating.

Chance: I know. I know. Look, I know it won’t be easy, but you should get some sleep.

Abby: I — I don’t know if i can.

Chance: Well, do me a favor and at least try.

Abby: My mind keeps going over all of these different scenarios, scenarios that would require a bone marrow aspiration. Chance, how did this happen? Dominic has been fine in every single one of his check-ups, and now his red blood cell count is so low that the doctor is jumping to these invasive tests? What if the procedure is painful? What if it causes an infection or an allergic reaction? I mean, those are all risks.

Chance: Hey, come here. We have to do our best to stay calm and to stay positive.

Abby: I’m just so scared.

[ Sighs heavily ]

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

Adam: Chelsea, we have talked about this. Okay, we will always share a connection, but we’re in a different place now. And I think that is a great place. Don’t you think?

Chelsea: Sure.

Adam: Okay, well, then getting back together, even if there are some feelings between us, would be a mistake.

Adam: We will always be in each other’s lives, but I don’t know how to say this any plainer — there is no future between us.

Chelsea: [ Sighs heavily ]

Adam: You need to let go of the past and move on. My personal life is not your business anymore until it involves connor.

Chelsea: Are you falling for sally spectra?

Chelsea: You know, and for the record, sally doesn’t deserve you. I know the type. I’ve seen go-getters like her my whole life. They can’t see beyond what’s in it for them, and frankly, I am shocked that you haven’t been able to figure this out about her yet.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] Chloe, hi. Oh, I’m so glad you picked up. Ohh. I can’t sleep. I was thinking we could go over our business plan for lauren? Oh. You’re up with bella? What kind of a horror movie did kevin watch with her to make her have nightmares like that? Are you serious? That would give me nightmares, too. What was kevin thinking? No. Go. Sorry. Go. Be with your daughter. Of course. Of course. Yeah, we’ll — we’ll work on our proposal tomorrow. Okay. Give bella a hug for me. Alright. Have a good night.

[ Sighs ]

[ Inhales sharply ] Hi. This is chelsea lawson. Um, can you bring my car around for me? I’ll be down in 10 minutes. Thank you.

[ Phone hangs up ]

[ Sighs ] From the very first touch.

Billy: The only podcast I’m interested in right now is how to get a good night’s sleep. “Seize the night — how to sleep like a baby.” Yeah, right. “Hints to avoid disrupted sleep and keep a peaceful sleeping environment. Number one — limit alcohol consumption. Number two — avoid caffeine. Number three — turn off screens. Number four — exercise daily.” Yep, a little too late for those to work with me tonight. “Stressful and worrying thoughts may make it difficult to sleep and may wake you up during the middle of the night.” Thank you very much. That’s exactly what I’m trying to figure out. “Set aside time to process, reflect, and meditate on your thoughts.”

[ Sighs ] Set aside time to process, reflect, and meditate on your thoughts.

Chance: You got to fight your fears, abby. Look, we will get these test results tomorrow, we will find out what’s causing this, and then we will do what we have to do to help him. And I’m sure it’s just something minor.

Abby: Well, what if it is something serious?

Chance: Well, until we know exactly what it is, it’s no good to dwell over the worst-case scenarios, right? Look, I understand why you’re worried. I am, too. But we got to be strong for our boy, keep a positive mind-set.

Abby: Yeah. You’re right.

Chance: How about this? How about you go upstairs and take a nice, long, hot bath? Yeah? Maybe throw in some of those sweet-smelling things that you like. You know what I’m talking about? I bet it’ll help you wind down so you can get some sleep.

Abby: Yeah. A bath does sound nice. Maybe I’ll give it a try.

Chance: Yeah.

Abby: Thank you.

Chance: For what?

Abby: ‘Cause, I mean, you’re dealing with so much, and here you are taking care of me. It just means a lot to have you here to lean on.

Chance: That’s what we do for each other, right? And, abby, you have been just so patient and understanding with me while I work through all this. And that’s what we got to do. We got to keep leaning one each other and do what’s best for dom. That means do what’s best for us, too.

[ Sighs ]

[ Exhales heavily ] Hey, partner. Yeah, I, uh — I just want to apologize again for — for bailing earlier. You know, I’m sorry I couldn’t start today like we planned.

Rey: No apology needed. Really, man. Paul and I completely understand. Family trumps work every time. How’s the baby?

Chance: He’s okay. He’s okay. We’re, uh — we’re gonna know more in the morning after we get these results from the follow-up tests.

Rey: Good. Keep us in the loop.

Chance: I will. Um…hey, what’d I miss today? Did I miss anything, any new cases?

Rey: Actually, my day’s not over yet. We’re doing surveillance on a suspect in a series of robberies. I’m just getting some coffee now.

Chance: Really? Well, look, I — you know, I’m probably not gonna sleep much tonight. I keep thinking about this appointment in the morning. Abby’s about to crash. We got the nanny here. You want some company?

Rey: Are you sure?

Chance: Yeah. Oh, yeah. It’ll — it’ll be nice to have something else to focus on. One prilosec otc in the morning

Billy: So much for tip number one on getting a good night’s sleep. Nighty-night. Ahh. Process, reflect, and meditate on your thoughts. Process and reflect. What am I to process? I don’t feel like I have any fears. I don’t feel like there’s anything gnawing at me.

[ Sighs ] Meditate. Yeah. Let me see where that goes. Ahh. Okay.

[ Sighs ] Too lazy to type. Too wired to sleep. So all you get is the sound of your own soothing voice. Some would say you like the sound of your own voice. Those people would be right. At least I know somebody is listening. Okay, so, how do we start? Who are you?

[ Chuckles ] What are you? Me.

[ Sighs ] You…are a man that had everything… and then lost almost everything.

[ Sighs ] And then you got most of it back except for the one thing that you miss the most — your sweet baby girl delia. But what about all the other things that you lost? Because you were — because you were being an idiot, because you fought wars for no good reason, because you didn’t acknowledge what you had at the time. That is a tricky one. But that is a recipe for disaster. Have you learned anything? Have you learned anything?

Chance: You’re okay, buddy. You’re okay.

[ Chuckling ] Yeah, right? It’s all good. You’re okay. Look at you, little dude.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] I need you to be okay. You hear me? But don’t you worry. You don’t have to do this all by yourself. You can count on me, bud. I’m gonna do whatever I got to do to get you through this. I promise you that. Me and your mom. She loves you so much, man. She’s been here since the very beginning. She’s managed this whole crazy journey all by herself. But I’m here now. Mm-hmm. I’m here for you, and I’m here for her. And together we’re gonna make sure that you’re always okay. I just need you to trust me ’cause I’m doing everything i can to get back on track and make up for all that time I missed. So just be patient just for a little bit longer. I promise. I’m gonna be the best dad that i can be. Watch.

[ Breathes deeply ] You know, going back to the force and focusing on work, finding that sense of purpose. Yeah, I think that’s exactly what I need. I think that’s the answer to all this. So I can get back to where i need to be. So that you know that you can always count me.

[ Exhales heavily ]

Chelsea: Hey.

Rey: HeY.

Chelsea: I didn’t expect to see you here so late.

Rey: Yeah, I’m surprised to see you, too.

Chelsea: Oh, I came for some herbal tea. I need something to calm my mind. Too many crazy thoughts racing around in my head.

Rey: Yeah, I know what you mean. Sometimes my mind refuses to give me a break.

Chelsea: Well, it’s sweet of you to come help sharon close this place up.

Rey: Well, actually, sharon’s gone home for the night, and the barista’s gonna shut everything down. I’m looking at what could be a very long night on a stakeout. So I’m here for the complete opposite reason you are. I am trying to keep my mind stimulated, active, firing on all cylinders.

Chelsea: Hmm. Wow.

Rey: Yeah.

Chelsea: So, while the innocent citizens of genoa city are sleeping sound in their beds, you’re out fighting crime.

[ Chuckles ] That must make sharon really nervous, her husband out all night risking his life in potentially dangerous situations.

Rey: Well, sharon’s come to terms with the crazy hours, accepts it as part of the package. But risking my life may be a bit of an overstatement, especially tonight.

Chelsea: You know, I went on a stakeout once. Well, no — I mean, sort of a stakeout. I was a kid. I was with my mom. We were scoping out a mark, planning a con, figuring out the right angle to make it work.

Rey: I can’t imagine what that must have been like, with your mom involving you in all of her criminal activities. That must have been pretty scary for a little kid.

Chelsea: Not really. I didn’t know anything different, you know? It was just…normal. Dodging a bill collector? Sure. Skipping out on rent? Always. Working a con? Absolutely.

[ Laughs ] It was just the way to our next meal. I mean, most parents — they wake up in the morning and they go to work to put food on the table. Not anita. No, no. Not my mom. She would stay up all night plotting how she was going to sucker some poor, gullible guy out of his hard-earned cash.

Rey: Pschew. Sounds rough, pretty lonely for a child.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Yeah. I guess it was. But anita and I — we were a team. We didn’t have any other friends. We didn’t have any other family. It was just us. And she would remind me of that all the time, that we needed to stick together, you know, not let anybody else into our world.

[ Sighs ] All outsiders could not be trusted. “Do unto others before they do unto you.” That was her motto.

Rey: Wow. Talk about imposing a warped sense of the world on a young mind.

Chelsea: I guess I… it wasn’t till I was older that the reality of it all started to set in.

Billy: So, is that what’s keeping me up, the worry that i can’t break free of my past? Or maybe it’s the worry that I can’t break free of who i really am. Can that be who I used to be?

New vicks vapostick. Strong soothing vapors…

Billy: So, this is interesting. You’re both the analyst and the guy on the couch.

[ Chuckles ] So, what do you say, billy boy? No escaping this shrink, is there? There is no sugar-coating this. There is no turning a blind eye. There is no lying to yourself no matter how desperately you want to justify your mistakes, your missteps, your misgivings, your miscommunications.

[ Sighs ] There’s no running away from those. The night. What a trip, isn’t it? Your inner monologue just constantly reminding you of all the dumb things you did and said throughout the day and all the smart things you didn’t do or say. And then there are those big moments in your life… around and around in an unchangeable loop. But we hold on hope. What are we hoping for? What am I hoping for?

Chelsea: So, tell me — did you always want to be a cop?

Rey: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, honestly, I can’t ever remember wanting to be anything else. At an early age, I was always on the lookout for possible danger. Yeah, I had to be vigilant because I felt responsible for my mother and brother and sister. After my dad went missing, i became obsessed with what happened to him. Was he dead? Kidnapped?

Chelsea: Did you ever find out?

Rey: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Turns out he hadn’t gone missing at all. He was just off on one of his various affairs.

Chelsea: Ohh.

Rey: But I never forgot the rush I felt when I was solving the mystery, tracking down the clues. That feeling stuck with me. What about you? What set on your path?

Chelsea: Uh, I became a con artist in my own right because it’s all I knew. And I was good at it. I mean, how could I not be, right? I was trained by the best of them at a very young age. It was my way of life — until i got pregnant with johnny, actually. I knew I had to quit, even though I wasn’t going to raise him, I knew that I had to just be better in my life, be a good person. I know I’ve made some mistakes since then…

Rey: [ Laughs ]

Chelsea: …For reasons that I’m not proud of, but I — but I can honestly say that i have let that part of my life go. I had to, for my son’s sake. Connor — he needs me. This whole separation — it’s been so hard on him, and he’s still struggling.

Rey: Yeah. I saw that firsthand in the time we spent together. And I can also see that you’re not that person anymore. You’ve changed. Which is admirable because some people never do, no matter how hard they try.

Chelsea: Yeah, but what difference does it make? The new me — I mean, it doesn’t make anything better. I’m still lonely and alone.

Rey: Yeah, but you got your son. And the good thing about that is that you’re not gonna raise him the way that your mother raised you. That’s something to be proud of.

Abby: You were right. I feel so much better after that bath.

Chance: Well, good. It is nice to see you so relaxed. Girl, you smell delicious.

Abby: Oh, do I?

Chance: Mmm.

Abby: [ Laughs ]

Chance: Hey. Dominic, uh, woke up again, but I got him to sleep down here. And now, as you see, he is resting peacefully.

Abby: Oh, well, you are becoming quite the expert at comforting him.

Chance: I’m trying. Hey, now that you and dom are feeling better, I thought I’d go meet rey, help out with a stakeout. If that’s okay with you, of course.

Abby: What happened to postponing your return?

Chance: Well, you know, i called rey just to check in. He told me what was going on tonight. I’m not gonna lie. I’m pretty amped-up ’cause of what’s going on with the little guy, so I’m probably not gonna sleep much tonight anyways. Figured I’d join him. I’d probably get assigned this case if I went in today anyway, so… but if you don’t want me to go, I won’t go. I won’T.

Abby: No. It’s — it’s fine. I mean, you were saying that it would help you deal with your trauma to go back to work, so, um…go. Yeah. Yeah. You should go. But, um… hey, be careful, okay?

Chance: Yeah. I will. Promise me you won’t worry, okay?

Abby: [ Sighs ]

“The young and the restless”

will continue. I’ve got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Billy: And, look, two or three years ago, you couldn’t stand to be in your own skin. So, that’s good. You’ve — you’ve changed your life around. Give yourself a pat on the back because this is a good place for you. You are in a really great place. And so much of that has to do with lily. You’re lucky to have her. So, if you’ve really been able to let go of all this baggage that you — you claim you have, what is it? What’s keeping you up at night? What is this restlessness, this unsettling feeling? Is there something deep down that is eating away at you? And if there is, what is it? How do you find it? Do you want to find it? Maybe that is the something that I need to process, reflect, and meditate on. But knowing you, you’re gonna want to find it, acknowledge it, and bury it in the back as quick as you can. Hi.

Lily: Hi. Sorry. I know I was intruding.

Billy: It’s okay. No. Sorry. Did I — did I wake you up?

Lily: No, no, no. And, look, don’t feel like you have to tell me what you’re doing if it’s private.

Billy: It’s not. It’s — it’s totally fine. I’m just having a little bit of fun, letting my subconscious run free, kind of like a successful therapy session, except I’m both the doctor and the patient.

Lily: Right. So I’m guessing what you said earlier about staying up to brainstorm was a cover story. Are you worried about why you’re not sleeping?

Billy: I think “worried” is too strong of a word. But, uh, I’m intrigued. I’m curious by it. I’m gonna let you hear something.

Lily: Oh, no, no, no. Don’t do that. That’s fine.

Billy: No, I think it’ll help you give a little bit of perspective.

Lily: No, but if it’s like a therapy session, it should stay private.

Billy: There’s no aspect of my life that I want private from you.

Chelsea: And I — I remember this one con we ran involved this real-estate heiress who was used to getting everything she wanted. And she had made up her mind that she needed to acquire this famed necklace. She felt like her jewelry collection just wouldn’t be complete without it. She was obsessed with getting her hands on this piece. And anita — she knew the type. She knew she was ripe for the picking, perfect mark for the perfect con.

Chance: I’m sorry. I don’t mean to interrupt. I couldn’t help but overhear some of that, and I actually know a little bit about your past from adam, believe it or not, and I find it pretty fascinating. I’d love to hear more, if you don’t mind.

Chelsea: Uh…okay, sure. But the statute of limitations have long passed, my friend.

Rey: [ Chuckles ]

Chance: Perfect. I won’t have to worry about listening to all the details then.

Chelsea: Okay. Um, so then anita comes up with a really clever plan. She forges some documents and gets a disguise for me to wear. She convinced this woman’s representatives that I was the princess that owned the necklace. So, we said that we needed a buyer but that it had to all remain confidential because i had some money trouble and we were trying to avoid any kind of embarrassment.

Chance: Wow.

Chelsea: Yeah.

Chance: Wow, wow, wow. You know, it’s pretty impressive, how far you and your mom were willing to take it, as far attention to detail goes, strategy, and all that. Pretty impressive that you were able to just walk away from that life, too.

Chelsea: Well, I was just telling rey I had to walk away from that life for my son. A lot of people — they still judge me for my past mistakes. Luckily, rey’s not one of those people. I mean, you’ve seen me at my worst. You know all about me. You know all the things, yet you choose to believe me when I tell you I’ve changed.

Rey: Well, it’s only because I’ve seen how hard you’ve worked to rebuild your life.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh. Time to get to work.

Chelsea: Ohh, I’ll let you go. Um, thank you for, uh, spending this time with me. I appreciate it. The tea and the conversation helped. I think I’ll be able to sleep now.

Rey: Well, I’m glad I could help.

Chelsea: Well, good luck at your stakeout.

Rey: Thank you. Alright. You sure you’re up for this?

Chance: Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Are you kidding me? The baby and abby are asleep, and this is exactly what I need to be doing right now. Bring it.

Rey: Okay. Let’s do this then.

Chance: Let’s do it.

Why hide your skin

Billy: No matter how many times you go over it, you’re still stuck with the decisions you made, the ones you want to take back and the ones that you wish you made sooner, like stepping back from that soul-sucking battle with adam, all the rabbit holes you could have avoided going down, the times you gave in to reckless, self-destructive impulses that turned out to be very costly for not only yourself but for the ones around you and for the people that you love, as if going over all these events are going to somehow magically allow you to rewrite history or change the trajectory of your life. Moving forward, things aren’t automatically going to go right. You have to make those decisions, becoming the bigger man and letting go of this grudge with adam and moving on. Can you continue to be that man? I don’t know. Something still seems to be missing.

Lily: Wow. That’s really deep. It’s revealing to hear you talk about the darker parts of your history. But thank you for sharing that with me. Does it bother you to relive it all this way?

Billy: No. No. Maybe in the past, it would have, in a past relationship, but it doesn’t with you. I don’t know. I think I trust you and… it feels cathartic. To say it out loud kind of takes the edge off a little bit, and to be able to joke about it — you know, it’s kind of liberating a little bit.

Lily: Well, I am very impressed with how far you’ve come.

Billy: As far as I’ve come is directly linked you to. But what I’m most excited about is just how far we’re gonna go together.

Lily: I’m really proud of you.

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Lily: You can come to bed when you’re ready, okay?

Billy: I’ll see you in a bit.

Lily: Okay.

[ Sighs ]

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

[ Key card clatters ]

[ Sighs ]

Chelsea: [ Exhales heavily ]

Rey: Alright. So, there have been five break-ins in this neighborhood over the past two weeks. So far, they’ve all taken place at night while the victims slept. We think the perp’s a guy who knows how to disable security systems, slips in and out, and takes whatever he can get. So far, he hasn’t left us any clues or prints behind. But it’s like he’s taunting us now, daring us to catch him. I’m more than happy to oblige.

Chance: What makes you think he’s going to strike again tonight?

Rey: We did a chart comparing the timing of the break-ins to locations of the houses that were hit, and this distinct pattern emerged. And based on that, we think he’s gonna strike on this street next. But don’t get your hopes up yet. Might be a long night of waiting for nothing.

Chance: Come on, man. I know the drill. I’m down for whatever.

Rey: So, how’s your son doing?

Chance: Uh…well, his, uh, red blood cell count is low. So he’s got to get a bone marrow aspiration to see why.

Rey: Ohh. Sorry, man. That sounds serious.

Chance: Yeah. Yeah. I keep telling abby not to automatically go to the worst-case scenario, you know? Got to be patient and wait for these test results to come back.

Rey: Well, it must be tough.

Chance: [ Sighs ] It is. Yeah. I’m having a hard time listening to my own advice.

[ Sighs ] And there’s nothing worse than that worry you feel when your kid’s going through something, man. I don’t know. It’s real heavy.

Rey: I totally get it. I got a taste of that with faith when she got into that car accident. She had a kidney transplant. That was scary stuff. And also with connor. When I was spending a lot of time with him, he seemed so sad and confused about his parents’ split. I just — I wanted to reach out and help. I mean, I know it’s not the same when it’s your own kid.

Chance: No. Come on, man. She’s your step-daughter. I know how much you love her. It’s that impulse you get. You want to protect them, right?

Rey: That’s exactly how i feel.

Chance: You know what? I’m sure chelsea is so grateful that you’ve been there for connor like that.

Rey: Yeah. He’s a good kid. Oh. Alright. There we go — right over there, there’s our guy. You see him?

Chance: Yep.

Rey: He’s disabling the security system. Alright, so, I’m gonna circle around to the east side of the house. When I get there, you come at him from the other side, alright?

Chance: Yeah. Okay.

[ Smashing ]

[ Breathing heavily ] Nyquil severe gives you powerful relief

Billy: Okay. Okay, so, what is it? What did you find? If this is the end of chapter one, what did you discover? What is keeping you up at night? What is making you feel so restless? If everything is as good as you say it is… are you worried about screwing it up again? Are you worried about backsliding like you always do? You’ve always been a “one step up, two steps back” kind of guy. Do you have the courage to change that? Can you get two, three, four steps in the right direction? Can you get some momentum? You know you can. You can feel it.

[ Sighs ] You have lily. And she is great for you. She challenges you. She calls you on your B.S., Which is exactly what you need, and in spite of it all… she loves you. And it is the right choice to let go of that constant need for revenge. It’s a waste of time. And it’s an energy suck. You are in a golden place right now. You have got to have the courage to acknowledge it. Make the change. Level up your life.

[ Door closes ]

Abby: Hey. You’re home. I thought you were gonna be gone all night. I’m glad you’re home. Is everything okay?

Chance: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, everything’s fine. I, uh…just felt like my place was here…with you and dom.

[ Sighs ]

[ Lock whirs, disengages ]

[ Door opens ]

Rey: You are the most complicated and intriguing woman that I have ever met. I’m mesmerized. I can’t stop thinking about you. There is something from your dark past that…fascinates me.

Chelsea: [ Gasps ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

we have louise, it’s gonna be okay, sweetie. If you want to see our daughter, it’s gonna be on my terms now. And what are those? I’m leaving the country with louise. And I want you to say goodbye to her here and now, knowing it’s the last time you will ever see her. Or… …you can come with us. And we’ll be a family forever. She must be cold, peter. Let me take her someplace warm. Not to worry. Our daughter will be warm and comfortable and safe on her journey to our new home.E.The question is… will you be joining us? Alright, thanks, ted. Keep me posted.

[ Sighs ] No news on peter’s whereabouts? It’s like the guy disappeared into thin air. How does he do that with a baby? Isn’t that supposed to make him easier to spot? I can’t believe I let my guard down, chase. I can’t believe I didn’t hear when he just waltzed in here and took bailey from upstairs. Hey, hey, hey. This isn’t your fault, okay?

[ Sighs ] This is on peter, and peter alone. And the pcpd is not gonna stop searching until they find maxie’s baby and they bring her home.

[ Doorbell rings ] Let me get that. Hi, we got here as soon as we could. Finn: Hey. Any news? Chase: Afraid not.

[ Sighs ] Brook lynn, I am so sorry, I know this is every parent’s worst nightmare. Listen, I know he’s nuts, but… why would peter snatch your child? What does he get out of taking bailey? I mean, w– what’s he looking for, ransom? You know, hoping the quartermaines pay him so much he could just disappear forever? What’s going on? You know something?

[ Sighs ] Um… bailey isn’t bailey. Papa. Why are you here? What happened to you?

Pardonnez-moi, ma petite. I will tell you everything. But first you have to tell me who took you. Peter august. I thought he was the pizza delivery man. I opened the door, and he grabbed me before I could run away. And then he blindfolded me.

[ Monitor beeping ] Charlotte, can I ask you something? Did he hurt you? He wouldn’t let me take the blindfold off. He took me someplace in his car and then locked me in. As soon as he was gone, I took the blindfold off. I-it was a warehouse. I was trying to find a way out when grandpa victor found me. Quite the introduction ,wouldn’t you say, charlotte? Laura: Okay, I have about a million questions, but right now I do have to get in touch with the pcpd and let them know that we’ve found charlotte. Thank you, victor. Thank you, father, for being a hero. Being exactly the right place at exactly the right time. It’s almost as if you knew where to find charlotte. Yes, that’s what charlotte said. She said it was peter august who grabbed her. Yeah, she has been checked out. She’s absolutely fine, thank goodness. I have no idea what peter’s motivation could possibly be, except maybe to sow panic, to distract us from finding him and bailey and — I — [ Scoffs ] What am I saying? Uh, h-him and louise. Um…

[ Elevator bell dings ] Yes, I talked to mac’s doctor. He said he’s expected to make a full recovery. So that’s something we have to be grateful for. Mm. Okay. Listen, please keep me posted on the search for peter august and louise. Thank you, dante. Hi. I’m sorry. I-I didn’t intend to overhear. But you knew that louise was masquerading as bailey? Robert scorpio filled me in. I’m thinking louise has not yet been found? No. But every available officer on the force is looking for her and peter august. Listen, I know you have a personal interest in the baby being found. You delivered her, right? I did. But it’s not just that. I’m afraid I’m responsible for louise being taken. There isn’t much time, maxie. You know, if you think you can stall until the cavalry arrives, it’s not happening. But I’m gonna give you the choice that you never gave me. I’m taking the baby regardless. But if you come with us, you’ll never have to suffer the heartache that still haunts me, all the questions — where is my daughter? Is she safe? Will she grow up not ever knowing who I am?

[ Ship horn blows ] Is that ship taking us somewhere? Where is it going? We don’t have time for questions. You have to make a choice now. Are you with me and louise…or not?


Gh saying goodbye to louise when I gave birth to her. I’m not sure I can do that again. Even if it means saying goodbye to your family, your friends? Forever?

[ Voice breaking ] She’s my whole world, peter. Everything I have done has been to protect her. From me. Yeah, but you — you found her. Because you love her as much as I do. Because of how much I love you, maxie. That’s why I called you here, otherwise I would have just left with louise. Why didn’t you? Because I want us to be a family. The way we were supposed to be. But only if you want to. Louise is my family. I-I made her with you. There really is no choice, is there? Sounds good on paper. What’s the catch? Finn: What does that mean — bailey isn’t bailey? I-it started over a year ago. And — chase. I should explain. You only got involved ’cause you were trying to help. I was in on it from the beginning. In on what?

[ Sighs ] Protecting an innocent baby from her psycho father. Hey, he’s — he’s a lot of things, I’ll admit, but psycho is a little harsh. No, no, no, no, no. Not — not chase. Peter august. Maxie needed to make sure he never got his hands on their daughter. But what does this have to do with your baby?

[ Sighs deeply ] I never had a baby. I was never even pregnant. I faked the pregnancy, and when maxie gave birth, she told everyone that the nurse peter hired handed the baby off to some mystery accomplice who disappeared. But that was a lie? You took maxie’s baby and passed her off as your own? That’s right. So, bailey’s really louise, and you said she was yours to help maxie keep her daughter away from peter.

[ Sighing ] Yeah. So, um… how much do you guys hate me? Brook lynn, nobody hates you. I think you’re amazing. Yeah, you certainly went above and beyond to help a friend. Thing is, maxie and i weren’t friends, not at first. I only helped her for selfish reasons. I wanted to get one overon valentin cassadine. Why don’t we discuss the details as to exactly how I found the lovely charlotte until later, hm? All that matters is that you’re safe and unharmed. Thanks to grandpa victor. Mm, mwah! And I promise we’re gonna keep you safe. Peter august is gonna be very sorry for what he did to you. Very sorry. When I got to town, I took on the quartermaines, and I made an enemy out of brook lynn. And it cost me my place in the quartermaine family, and it almost cost me my place here at general hospital. So, I gather you were looking for payback? Yes, I was. So I approached valentin. And I thought maybe we could join forces and plot some kind of revenge against brook lynn. And somehow his father, victor, managed to insert himself.

[ Laughs ] Yeah, no surprise there. Victor never met a revenge plot that he didn’t like. So, victor came to me with a sonogram that he said he found on the street, and all of the personal information was missing. And I told him how he could find out who the sonogram belonged to. I see. And somehow, the sonogram led victor to realize that brook lynn’s baby is really maxie’s baby? I’m — I’m assuming. I don’t know who else would have passed off that kind of information to peter august. What I don’t understand is why it mattered to victor. Well, victor and peter august formed an alliance in greece. So whatever matters to peter august — like finding his daughter. …Would also matter to victor. And if victor could find out louise’s whereabouts, he could use that information against peter, to get him to do… whatever he wanted. Well, like what? I don’t know. But I’m gonna find out. No, peter, I’ll go with you. There is no catch, I promise. What, all the while plotting to run off with our child the first chance that arrives? I can’t just jump into your arms, say that all is forgiven and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. No. I-I didn’t think so. But I-I think if we get out of port charles, away from the place that brought out the worst in you, you will — you will start to become the man that I fell in love with again. The one who was kind and considerate… talked me off the ledge when I was spinning, or made me laugh when I wanted to pull my hair out. The one… the one I trusted and believed in. Maxie, yes. I swear to you on our daughter’s life, that will happen. I will be the best man and husband for you and louise that a man could possibly be. Not louise. Excuse me? I’ll go with you, peter. Whenever. Tonight. Right now. But if you love our daughter as much as you say you do, you’ll understand why we have to leave her behind.


I don’t understand. Leave louise? After I spent a year trying to find her, searching, risking my life to find her, to be with her? I understand the sacrifices that you’ve made, peter. I’m asking you to make one more — one that we’ll make together. Why are you doing this? Th e world knows youas peter august… …wanted by every law enforcement agency. It doesn’t matter where you take us. We will constantly be on guard waiting for someone to tap you on the shoulder and take you away in handcuffs. That hasn’t happened so far, though. Yeah. You’ve done a good job, peter. Up until this point. Robert and anna did find you. They arrested you and brought you back to port charles. It’s only a matter of time before the wsb or interpol is on your trail, and the longer we stay in one place, the better the chance someone will recognize you. We will constantly be changing our names and our identities. We will always be on the run, never able to build a stable home for our daughter. Is that something you want for her? The child you claim to love? And then, thanks to austin’s vendetta and gladys corbin’s big mouth, valentin grew suspicious. And, um… when he finally cornered me, I was about to tell him the truth, and that’s when chase came in and claimed bailey was his. Did you know that bailey was louise all along? I didn’t find out until the day I claimed to be bailey’s father, but once I put the pieces together, I — I couldn’t let peter find out that the baby was his. That’s when your brother came to the rescue. Look, I got into this for selfish reasons, okay? I went to maxie and offered a mutually beneficial arrangement, right?

[Voice breaking] She would have a safe place to hide her baby, and I would get some leverage over valentin. But once bailey —

[ Sobs ] …Louise actually got here, there was this living, breathing, little baby that was solely dependent on me.

[ Sobs ] I just — I never thought I…

[ Sobs ] I never knew how much I’d grow to care…

[ Crying ] Does valentin know that bailey is maxie’s daughter?

[ Sniffles ] I-I don’t know. Why? Someone found him passed out drunk behind a — a dumpster. What? Called the paramedics. How did that happen? Valentin doesn’t go on benders. The blood tests showed there was no alcohol in his system. So, alcohol was poured on him to make him appear drunk? I mean, to what end? And if he didn’t pass out from alcohol… we’re waiting to hear back from toxicology to see if he was drugged. But right now, we have more questions than answers. I have to see him. Wait, uh, brook lynn, I don’t think that’s — no, chase, I’m sorry. I have to do this. Want to say goodbye to your dad?

Bonne nuit, papa.

Je t’aime.

Bonne nuit.

Je t’aime aussi,

ma petite. Feel better. I already do.

[ Monitor beeping ] Come on, sweetheart. Hm. Impressive young lady, that charlotte. Does the cassadines proud. Thank you for finding her and bringing her safely back to me. I know that peter august kidnapped my daughter — I just want to know why. You know, my father had a lot of beef with the quartermaines and pretty much — pretty much everybody else in port charles, but whenever your name came up. Jimmy lee always said, “there’s a woman to reckon with.” Mm. And jimmy lee would be right. But you must also be someone to reckon with for maxie to have entrusted you with the truth about her baby. I just wish I knew the truth before peter snatched louise. But as for maxie…

[ Sighs ] Yeah? What about maxie? Well, after I told her that I was probably the reason that peter found out about louise, s-she just doesn’t want to have anything to do with me. Can you blame her? Think of your life with your father, peter. Faison dragged you from place to place so he could be one step ahead of the law or a vengeful enemy. Think of how much you’ve resented that life. How it gave you scars that still haven’t healed. Do you want that for louise? If we leave her here in port charles, she can grow up in a safe and stable family. A family that despises me. A family that’ll plant lies in her head about me.

[ Crying ] No, I can’t do it, maxie. I can’T… I can’t be abandoned again.

[ Sniffles ] Not by my own daughter. Peter, I’m willing to leave georgie with her father. And — and I’m hoping that my parents will — will take care of james. I’m — I’m even hoping that one day y-you and I could have another baby. One that won’t be taken from us. You are? Don’t you get it, peter? Our love can live again. We just have to start over. Just the two of us.


You upended your entire life just to ensure that I’ll never see louise. You made me believe she was stolen, maxie, gave her to brook lynn quartermaine for her to raise as her own. N-not to mention all the accusations you made to my face. The anger and hurt that still haunts my dreams. And now what? I’m supposed to believe that you can simply forget all that and start all over with me? Maybe not forget… but weigh the past and the things we regret against what really matters. We made louise.

[ Breathes sharply ] She connects us. A-and by giving her up, we can be connected again. It’s a second chance, peter. I’m willing to take it. Are you? Maxie… of course I am. You know I am. Hey, look, I know the only thing we care about right now is the safe return of that little girl, but…

[ Sighs ] Bro, have you given any thought at all to what this is gonna mean to your life and to your career in law enforcement when this comes out? It’s already out, man. Ned came by earlier, and he gave me an earful.

[ Sighs ] I… bailey was safe as long as she was under his roof, but then I came up with the brilliant idea to bring bailey and brook lynn here just so we could keep up the lie. And then — and then peter comes, and he takes bailey out from — I’m a cop! This is my job! Hey. Alright, hey. I — shut up. Shut up. Hey, come here.

[ Crying ] Come here. Look. You did good.

[ Sobs ] Alright? You did good. What makes you think I know what’s going on inside peter’s twisted mind? I — I don’t know. Perhaps he took charlotte hoping the pcpd would focus on finding her rather than looking for him and brook lynn’s baby.

Brook lynn’s baby? Are you saying she’s not? You found charlotte minutes after the police issued a missing child alert. How did you do that? How did you know where to look? Valentin, you should not be taxing yourself with these kinds of questions right now. As anna said, you need your strength. Get some rest. I want answers, dad. About charlotte’s kidnapping and what happened to me. I was just heading to my car, walking through the G.H. Parking garage. I’d just left you. Next thing I know, I’m flat on my back by a dumpster, smelling like a distillery. Did peter do that? Or did somebody else? Are you suggesting I knocked out my own son to help peter august? I’ve known since crete that peter has something you want, or you would never have put up with him. Now, you saw me at the hospital collecting bailey’s medical records. Had you figured out that bailey has always been peter’s long-lost daughter louise?

[ Scoffs ] So, what, I made some kind of devil’s bargain with peter august? I’d help him get what he wants, and then he’d help me get whatever allegedly I want? Well, what — what do you think that would be, hm? If I knew the answer, I wouldn’t ask you the question. I do know that peter kidnapped charlotte, and I suspect that you knew where to look because you have made a deal with him. You do have a very vivid imagination. Valentin! Oh, thank god you’re okay. Yeah, no thanks to you. I don’t know how to make up for my mistake with maxie if she won’t return my calls or my texts. Maybe she can’t? Wait. You really think…? I-I don’t want to think the worst, I really don’t, but, um, just in case, um —

grand-mre! Papa has to rest, but I can go. Yeah, charlotte’s doctor checked her out. She’s fine. Oh, good. Good. Everything alright? Okay, if we’re gonna leave, we should do it now. Give me your phone. I left mine behind. I’m gonna call someone I trust. Wait, who is this person you trust? Brook lynn quartermaine? Peter, I promise brook lynn will take louise and look the other way while we get on that ship. She won’t ask any questions. Hell, no. Absolutely not. Peter, brook lynn could not love this baby more than if she was her own, and we cannot leave her here for some random person to find her. Oh, I have no intention of putting our daughter at risk. This is how much I love you. By giving up the child I searched so long for. I know where we need to go and what we need to do. Lead the way.


Peter… we can’t leave her here. The firehouse has a special drop-off f-for parents w-who can’t care for their infants. No surveillance cameras, n-no questions asked. It’s just — it’s so anonymous. Maxie, that’s the point. Open the special door, you put her inside, and when we close it, it triggers a silent alarm notifying the firefighters that she’s here. She’ll be well taken care of. I promise. I can’T. I can’T. I did good? I mean, h-how can you say that when I lied to you and everyone else? But your heart is good, and you lied for the right reasons. You protected maxie’s baby when peter was one step closer to figuring out bailey was his. Thanks, but given the fact that peter still found out, I feel as if I only made things worse. Hey. That’s what this guy does. He takes you to the dark side where he lives, and he makes you do things you wouldn’t normally do. Like try to kill him? Victor, will you leave brook lynn and me alone for a second so we can talk? I’ll be right outside if you need me.

[ Monitor beeping ]

[ Door closes ] Forgive my father. Brook lynn: Oh, forget him. What happened to you? I don’t know. But it begins and ends with peter august. Oh, my… it’s all my fault. You never would have been on peter’s radar if I hadn’t lied about bailey. Come on. Her name’s louise. You know. I’m so sorry I lied to you about being pregnant. It was creative. You got your elq shares back, and you protected the life of an innocent child. So, that was good. That was a smart move. Even if I made you suffer? Better me than bailey, so… I guess that makes me grateful. Uh, dr. Gatlin-holt a-and i were just talking about maxie. I-it seems that she’s not answering her phone. Oh. Uh, yeah. For maxie to leave mac’s side, it would have to be something extremely important. Absolutely. Thank you for what you just shared. Okay. Charlotte, I’m so glad you’re doing well. You’re a very brave young woman. Oh, you’re tired.

[ Laughs ] A very brave woman who’s tired and needs some rest. Uh, you know what? I just need one second with anna, and then we’ll go home. Can you wait? Take as long as you need. I’m gonna wait.

[ Laughs ] Oh! Such a good girl. Anna. Yeah. Listen, I know this is a big ask, but the pcpd is stretched so thin at the — no, laura, it’s fine. I’m on it. What is austin doing? What did you show him on the phone? Uh, somebody who might be able to help him locate maxie. I-I’m grasping at straws, but that was all I had. Damian spinelli? This is austin gatlin-holt. We met at jason and carly’s wedding, and I got your number from mayor collins. I need your help. Um, maxie’s awol. She’s radio silent. And mayor collins says that you’re the best hope I have of finding her. Maxie, you’re the one that convinced me we can’t take louise. Or was everything you said about leaving town together and starting a new life… just one more lie?


[ Sighs ] Look, I’m — I’m sorry for bringing up bad memories. That’s all I can think about, you know? Peter throwing that antidote off the rooftop at G.H. The antidote that was keeping you alive. You know, you would have done the world a service if peter died when you shoved him down the stairwell. Even if it cost me everything I believe in. And that’s the real evil that he brings to the table, right? He turns people like us into people like him. And that’s why he’s got to be locked up and put away forever. So, do me a favor. No more blaming yourself. I can’t help it. Brook lynn and I were right outside on the patio when peter broke in and he took bailey. I-I should have been more aware. I should’ve known that he could have figured it out. Come on. You can do this. No, peter, I can’T.

[ Crying ] You have to.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Crying ] Louise… my little one… I know it probably seems like I’m always saying goodbye to you. But I know that you’re going to be safe and cared for by people that love you. And maybe, one day, you’ll forgive me.

[ Sobs ] And you’ll understand that nobody loved you more than your mommy did when she gave you up. We have to hurry. Maxie: [ Sniffles ] Louise. My little angel. This isn’t goodbye. One day the three of us will be together again. One of the first things they teach us in medical school is you’re not god. You’re not even close. You can’t control all the circumstances all the time. You know what? All you can do is your best. And you did that. Thanks. That being said, it’s probably a good thing you didn’t tell dad and jackie about your sudden fatherhood.

[ Breathes sharply ] And have to break their hearts to tell him that violet is still their only granddaughter. Yeah. Speaking of broken hearts… can you figure out a way to tell violet she’s minus one cousin? You’re grateful I lied? I’m grateful you’re protected bailey. And, yes, she’ll always be bailey to me.

[ Monitor beeping ] I’m grateful you protected bailey from that sick son of a bitch who gets to be her biological father.

[ Breathes sharply ] There were times when me, you, bailey, and charlotte were together… I mean, I knew it was make-believe, but it just… felt like a family. Yeah. I’m really sorry I took that away from you and charlotte. Me too. So, valentin disappearing and then suddenly turning up, obviously drugged, charlotte being kidnapped… laura: Yeah. …And victor just somehow miraculously knowing where to pick her up just makes me… I thought you were taking charlotte home. I am, but I also have a job to do. Evil people are at work in my city. Unless you haven’t noticed.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Anna, take a look. Got it. Anything I can do? I think you’ve done enough, haven’t you? Thank you for getting me the location of maxie’s car. I’m on my way now. Call the cops. I wonder the hell happened to valentin. I mean, obviously, he was drugged and left in an alley, but why? And it couldn’t have been peter, because he was locked up at the time.

[ Cellphone ringing ] I don’t know. It’s anna.

[ Sighs ] Anna, what’s up? Are you up for some freelancing tonight? Peter? Yeah. It’s unofficial, though. I’m already in hot water with the, uh, department. Why not kick it up a notch? I was hoping you’d say that. I just sent you directions.

[ Cellphone chimes ] I got ’em. Good. And, chase — don’t worry. I’ll come prepared. What does anna want? Uh, I will tell you on my way out. Sure. Cameron said aiden baked him austrian pastry and violet picked movies. Lots of disney princesses, of course. And jake is asleep on the couch. Ah. Yeah. Been there, done that. Chase… hey, I am so sorry, but anna needs a favor. Hey, don’t forget you’re suspended. Lock up.

[ Door closes ]


Chase is a mess. I’m going after him. Don’t worry. Anna’s with him. She’s gonna make sure he doesn’t do anything stupid. Oh, he’s not thinking straight right now. He’s taking risks he shouldn’t be taking, alright? He’s — he’s on suspension. But that’s his choice to make, not yours. I know you want to be the big brother and you want to protect him, but as long as peter is still out there with bailey — I m– I mean louise — then this nightmare is never gonna end. Somebody has to stop him.

[ Sighs ] You’re right. A-as usual, you’re right. And I know you’re worried about your brother, but if you go after him, then I’m gonna worry about you. And what about violet? Aw! Oh, you — you play dirty, you know that? All’s fair when it comes to our kids.

[ Sighs ] Okay. Okay, um… why don’t I take you home, and I’ll grab violet, and hopefully she didn’t eat too much australian cake. Austrian. Austrian. And I have a better idea. Mm? Why don’t you put violet to bed in my guest room, and then you both spend the night? Safety in numbers, right? Can never be too careful or too safe. No. You can’t be. I’m sleeping on the sofa, aren’t I? The pull-out bed’s surprisingly comfortable. Yeah. Laura: C’mon, sweetie. Time to go home.

[ Chuckles ] Can I, uh — can I give you both a lift? No, thank you. I have a police escort. I’m not taking any chances. Oh, well, in that case, I’ll settle for a goodnight kiss from my granddaughter. Mm? Mwah! Good night, dear charlotte. Sweet dreams. You too, grand-pre. What about me? Oh, of course.

[ Whispering ] If I can prove you aided and abetted peter august, you’ll share his fate. Goodnight. Oh, thank you, sweetheart. Let’s go. Chase: Anna. Why’d you want to meet here? Laura got an emergency message from the firehouse saying a baby was dropped off here tonight that… fits louise’s description. So, anyway, I texted ahead to say that we might have an I.D. Great. Yeah. You are…? Oh. Agent anna devane. And this is — detective harrison chase. We, uh — we worked a few arson cases together. Oh, glad you could help out, detective. I’ll be right back. Okay, I-I want to believe that he’s got bailey, but it can’t be that easy, right? I… that’s why I turned to you. I just didn’t want to get anyone’s hopes up. Okay. Her? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That’s her. Hey, baby girl. That’S… you’re not alone anymore. Oh, may I? Yes. Thank you. Okay, so, um… this child was kidnapped by peter august. Did you see who left the child? All drop-offs are anonymous. I mean, a silent alarm triggered the door, and we found her in the safe place. Great. Thank you. Chase: I-I don’t get it. Why would — why would peter just give up the baby? Maxie. Maxie convinced him to. That’s the only explanation that makes any sense. Maxie met up with peter. Oh, my god. I thought she was brave before, but… she just made the ultimate sacrifice. She just — she convinced peter to give the baby up. What’s that? It’s maxie’S. She was wearing it tonight. Do you think she left it on — like, on purpose? As a clue? Yeah, she did. Where did maxie and peter go? That’s what we have to find out. Maxie!

[ Ship horn blows ] Maxie!

[ Scoffs, sniffles ] Hi. There’s been a-a kidnapping. We need the — the pcpd and the coast guard. They’re on a boat. And if the boat gets into international waters, it could be too late. Wait, why aren’t we heading back to the pier and the ship? Well, because the authorities will be checking every ship between here and canada. You have it all figured out, don’t you? Soon, maxie, we’ll be putting port charles and our past behind us.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Ridge: Why– why are you doing this?

Taylor: I know that you want to believe that everything has changed and that brooke has changed. But you deserve to know the truth

Ridge: You told me the truth.

Taylor: Not all of it.

Ridge: I know what happened that night, taylor.

Taylor: No, she lied to you, ridge.

Ridge: So what are you saying?

Taylor: Brooke betrayed you. Again. This time with deacon.

Brooke: I’m going to get what’s coming to me? What does that even mean, steffy?

Steffy: Consequences, brooke. You can’t avoid them.

Brooke: Look, if there’s something you want to say, why don’t you just say it? I don’t have time for–

Steffy: You don’t have time for this.

Brooke: I don’T. I’m expecting your father.

Steffy: You know what I’m expecting? What I’ve been waiting for my entire life is to see my father be truly happy and treated with respect. I’ve never stopped hoping that one day my father was gonna wake up and realize that can’t happen with you. And now with this latest mess, deacon, the way you let him in, embraced him. It proves it. It proves that you are no good for my father. One day soon, brooke. Your bad decisions are gonna catch up with you.

Deacon: So brooke is really gonna tell ridge what happened? About the kiss, me staying the night, everything?

Hope: Mm-hm. She can’t live with the guilt, dad.

Liam: I mean, it’s torturing her.

Deacon: Yeah, but I mean, it’s really gonna make her feel better? Has ridge given her any sign that if she does tell him it’s gonna be okay?

Hope: She needs out from under this weight.

Deacon: Okay, I get that. But, I mean, she does realize what’s gonna happen when she tells ridge. I mean, is she ready for that?

Deacon: I’m just surprised. She has been so determined to keep it secret.

Liam: Yeah, well, douglas actually seeing it pretty much threw her,

Hope: Okay, sure, that might’ve been a part of it, but this has been building for a while and… ridge being as supportive as he’s been, it’s just compounding her guilt. I mean, she can’t live like this anymore. She needs to tell him the truth,

Deacon: Even if it’s gonna blow up her marriage?

Liam: I mean, isn’t that kind of what you secretly want?

Brooke: In hindsight, there are things that I wish I had done differently, yes. But you can’t question my love for your father.

Steffy: But I do. And you know why? Because I know you, your history. It’s the most consistent thing about you. Sooner or later, brooke, you always turn to someone else.

Ridge: You know, I don’t– I don’t know. I don’t know where all this is coming from, but… I assure you, my wife would never betray me with deacon.

Taylor: Do you think that I would tell you all of this if I wasn’t 100 percent sure?

Ridge: No and I know it’s all coming from a good place and all that. But sometimes we’re wrong.

Taylor: But I’m not wrong.

Ridge: No, you’re not wrong. You’re not. Deacon was at the place. He was at the party and then he left,

Taylor: But, ridge, he came back, he came back. He was alone with brooke. I don’t know if that’s when they started drinking, but… if it was, then that would explain what happened I know it won’t excuse it.

Ridge: What do you mean? What happened? You’re making it sound like something happened.

Taylor: Something happened. It’s why I called you. Brooke and deacon… they kissed.

Ridge: Now you’re just being ridiculous.

Taylor: I’m not being–

Ridge: You are being ridiculous! You weren’t there, were you there? No.

Taylor: But someone was, someone who would never lie,

Ridge: Who?

Taylor: Our grandson… douglas. He saw brooke and deacon kiss. Before treating your chronic migraine,

Deacon: I want brooke to handle this however she thinks is best. Whatever that is, I’m gonna support it.

Liam: I don’t know, man, don’t you think maybe you should… just try to stay out of it?

Hope: Liam, he’s just trying to say that–

Liam: I’m just trying to say, that this is between your mom and ridge. And let’s be honest, deacon’s done enough already.

Deacon: Hey, look… let me just say this again. All right? I did not want this to happen.

Liam: I hear you, but I don’t think you realize exactly how much trouble you’ve caused. And I’m not– I’m not just talking about brooke. It’s true. I’m talking about the entire family, including douglas.

Deacon: I’m sorry about that. I– I am. Is he still going around telling people that he saw grandma kissing santa claus? Those therapy bills aren’t gonna be cheap.

Liam: Except we all know that’s not what he actually saw. What he actually saw was you, in a santa hat, turning his whole family upside down.-Hope: Okay, you know what? Hopefully that won’t happen.

Liam: Hey, I’m all for being positive, but I think we should try to be a little realistic, too. Ridge hears the guy’s name and he blows a gasket. What’s he gonna do when he finds out about the kiss?

Hope: The important thing is that we will be there for my mom when and if that happens.

Deacon: She’s right. I mean, we’ll have her back, right? We’ll be there to support her. And if brooke thinks it’s time to admit what happened… I don’t know. Maybe… maybe it’s time for the truth to come on.

Brooke: I think it’s best if we end this conversation now.

Steffy: Did you get a text from my father? Is he coming home?

Brooke: Yeah, I asked him to and he is coming home. I would appreciate it if you weren’t here when he arrives.

Steffy: I’m sure he’d appreciate that, too.

Brooke: Before you go, I’d like to tell you something about my marriage to your father.

Steffy: Oh, brooke, you can’t tell me anything that I don’t already know.

Brooke: Well, then let me remind you… everything that you’re holding against me, all of the challenges that your father and I have faced together hasn’t weakened us, steffy. If anything, it has brought us closer together. It’s made us stronger.

Steffy: You don’t have to tell me how it worked. I already know how you drag my father in, it’s no secret, but let me tell you something, something you really, really need to hear. Nothing is more painful than watching history repeat itself.

Brooke: I think you should go.

Steffy: I’m going. I’m getting as far away from this… impending catastrophe as I can.

Ridge: Douglas doesn’t know what he saw. Thomas and steffy, they’re putting ideas,

Taylor: Ridge, they would never do that.

Ridge: No, not intentionally. I’m not saying that. Look, kid walks in and and says he saw… grandma kissing santa claus, and they just filled in–

Taylor: Saw… brooke kissing deacon.

Ridge: No, he did not.

Taylor: Yes, he did. I know this is hard for you to believe.

Ridge: It’s hard to believe because you’re taking a kid’s innocent story and making it sinister. Why?

Taylor: I’m– I’m not. I’M…

Taylor: Ridge, douglas was getting ready for bed, and then he realized that he left his stuffed rabbit at the house, and when hope and liam were with beth, he snuck out of the cabin–

Ridge: On new year’S.

Taylor: Yes. On new year’S.

Ridge: Here’s what I know about new year’S. Deacon came over and then he left with hope, with liam and the kids.

Ridge: That’s it.

Taylor: And then he came back.

Ridge: No, he did not.

Taylor: I saw it.

Ridge: You saw it how?

Taylor: Your home security camera.

Ridge: Oh, my home security camera. Now you’re not making any sense.

Taylor: Ridge, I saw it. I saw deacon come back to the house. He was there alone with brooke… and he didn’t leave until morning.

Ridge: What are you saying?

Taylor: Deacon spent the night with brooke… in your home. They spent the night together. (Cyclist) why is ice t in a speed walking crew?

Ridge: So you think deacon spent the night at my house on new year’s eve?

Taylor: I understand that you’re skeptical.

Ridge: I’m skeptical because I know what happened. Brooke told me the truth. She was drinking that night.

Taylor: Yes, it sounds like you’ve been incredibly supportive of her. You’ve been going to meetings and encouraging her sobriety, but there’s more to this story. She didn’t tell you everything. Deacon came back that night. He didn’t leave until morning.

Ridge: No, brooke was waiting for me to come home.

Taylor: But you didn’t get home. And her disappointment became self-destructive. You know that. The drinking was just part of it.

Ridge: All right. Here’s what I know: Brooke wouldn’t do that. Not with a bottom feeder like deacon, not with anybody.

Taylor: Okay, then why– why has she been so upset? Why is she not been going into work? Why… why does hope say that… your marriage is in trouble?

Ridge: Okay, enough. Brooke wouldn’t do that to me.

Taylor: I don’t expect you to take my word for it. Go ask your wife.

Ridge: That’s a good idea. That’s exactly what I’ll do.

Taylor: Ridge…

Ridge: What?

Taylor: I am not saying any of this to hurt you. You’ve been lied to. You deserve so much better.

Deacon: It’s important that you both know that brooke didn’t intend for this to happen. Neither did I.

Liam: Yeah, but if it does cause her marriage to implode, I mean, you’re gonna be right there to help her through it, right?

Deacon: Well, of course.

Liam: See? Told you.

Deacon: Knock it off, will you? You know what I mean.

Hope: Liam, that is not fair. If my dad had wanted to damage brooke and ridge’s relationship, he easily could have. He could have gone to ridge. But did he? No, because my mom asked him not to. And he didn’t say a single word. Not one. Look, I don’t know how this is all going to work out, but I can say… that my dad is not all to blame.

Steffy: Where’s dad? Did he come over? Did you talk to him?

Taylor: I– I tried.

Steffy: Did you– did you tell him what we saw, the security footage? Mom.

Taylor: He didn’t want to believe me.

Steffy: Okay, I’m gonna go talk to him–

Taylor: Honey, he– he left. He went to brooke’S.

Brooke: Oh, ridge. There you are. Uh, I was about to text you again. Thanks for coming home. There’s something that I need to tell you. Something I should have told you a while ago. Don’t settle for products that give you a sort-of white smile.

Deacon: This is not why I came back to L.A. I hate this.

Hope: I just don’t want to focus on the worst case scenario, okay? Ridge has forgiven my mom before for far worse, so I have to believe that he will understand.

Deacon: Yeah, this is ridge we’re talking about. When it comes to me… I think brooke’s walking into a buzz saw. I hope he understands. I really do. But how the hell is he gonna understand what happened when brooke and i don’t even understand what happened that night?

Steffy: You said dad didn’t believe you?

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah, he– he couldn’T. He’s defended brooke so many times, it’s– it’s like a reflex for him.

Steffy: But he knows you wouldn’t lie.

Taylor: Yeah, but he just kept saying, oh, you’re mistaken, you’re confused. It’s– he wants so desperately for there to be another explanation.

Brooke: Well, I’m sure brooke’s gonna come up with an excuse.

Taylor: I hope she’s honest with him. Even if she is, she still kept this huge secret from him.

Taylor: This is gonna hurt him so bad.

Steffy: This is exactly what he was worried about… deacon coming back into town to rekindle things with brooke. That is exactly what happened. But we don’t know what happened at the house. We just know that deacon was there.

Steffy: And that douglas saw them kissing, mom. That is more than enough. Dad should realize that brooke is not committed to him.

Taylor: I don’t know that your dad is ready to face that. He has put so much faith in brooke. I don’t think he’s capable of… of seeing that… she could turn to deacon.

Brooke: I really need to talk to you, ridge. Can we sit?

Ridge: I want to– I want to talk to you too.

Brooke: Yeah, but me first, okay? It’s– it’s about new year’S.

Ridge: Oh, new year’S.

Brooke: You know how concerned you’ve been about me? About how anxious and upset I was about my drinking? Well, I wasn’t just drinking. I mean, more happened that night that I regret.

Ridge: What? What happened that night?

Brooke: Well, when you called and your plane was grounded… I wasn’t here alone. I was with deacon. He came because he had left his phone here and he came to get it and he was leaving again. And then you called and you told me that you couldn’t make it. And of course, I was very disappointed. What did I do? I just grabbed a bottle of vodka and I had a drink and… a second. I just…

Ridge: Did he stay here?

Brooke: Yes, he did. He did stay. And I wasn’t myself, ridge. The way I was acting and… my behavior, I don’t really understand it. Something… happened between deacon and me.

Ridge: What happened?

Brooke: We kissed.

Ridge: You and deacon?

Brooke: Yeah. I don’t know why– I don’t know why that happened. All I wanted was to be with you, ridge, to spend new year’s with you, that’s– that’s all I wanted. And yes, I was drinking and I know that’s not an excuse. I know that. Just say something.

Ridge: Okay. I know.

Brooke: You know?

Brooke: Taylor told me.

Brooke: Taylor?

Ridge: She told me… what happened and I said there’s no way, there’s no way you would do that. You just– you… you don’t have to explain this to me. Not the drinking part, you already… you didn’t lie about that. Tell me about deacon being here, because that’s what… that’s what douglas saw, right? But taylor seems to think that, um… deacon stayed the night and that…

[ Scoffing ] This makes no sense to me because you wouldn’t do that. Not to me, not… not to you or us. The marriage we have, you… you wouldn’t have an affair… with deacon, right?

Billy: Yeah, I apologize for missing our call this morning, but the dog ate my alarm clock, if you know what I mean. Right. Yeah. It happens to the best of us. Oh, they’re doing some work at the office, expanding them or doing whatever, so we’ve had to relocate and now we’re working from home for a little bit. On top of that, I didn’t sleep very well last night, so… okay, I appreciate you understanding. I’ll get rita to reach out to you. Okay. Thanks again. Bye. Come on.

[ Sighs ]

Devon: Yo!

Lily: Good morning.

Devon: Good morning. Look at you and this outfit you got on.

Lily: Thank you.

Devon: You must have an important meeting today.

Lily: It’s the very latest in upper management chic. It’s favored by ceos across the globe.

Devon: Well, you haven’t lost your touch.

Lily: [ Laughs ] Thank you. If you’re wondering why i stopped by, I’m hoping that my very important meeting is with you.

Devon: Wait. What?

Lily: Do you have time to talk, ceo to ceo?

Jack: Hey there. I didn’t see you come in.

Amanda: Oh, I’m sorry. I thought you were in the middle of something.

Jack: Nah. Reading the paper. Please join me.

Amanda: I’d love to.

Jack: So, how’s the new law practice?

Amanda: Oh, it’s going well. Imani and I are building a new client roster, so it takes time.

Jack: It’ll happen.

Amanda: I’m sure that it will. My sister — she has a long list of political contacts, and I’m tenacious.

Jack: That’s a good thing to be.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ] Speaking of tenacious, have you spoken with phyllis?

Jack: Not yet. Milan is one of those cities that grabs hold of you and never lets you go. I’m sure summer’s keeping her very busy. Last time I was there, it was nonstop.

Amanda: I have to say, you have quite the poker face.

Jack: I’ve negotiated my share of contracts.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ] Pleading the fifth, I see.

Jack: Why do I feel like I’m on the witness stand?

Amanda: I just really believe that you and phyllis deserve happiness, and I thought it would be together.

Jack: So did I, for a time. But you know what? Life is unpredictable.

Amanda: Yeah.

Jack: And so is phyllis.

Rey: So, what do you got going on today?

Sharon: The usual. I’m keeping an eye on this place. I have a few new patients. But you have a big day. Chance is coming back to work.

Rey: At long last.

Sharon: How do you feel about it?

Rey: Well, I was happy to see abby and him looking so relaxed at the engagement party. Maybe I was wrong to be too concerned about him jumping in back too soon.

Sharon: Yeah, it was really nice seeing them out together as a couple.

Rey: Oh, would you look at that? It’s already time to go. How the hell did that happen?

Sharon: Because we enjoy each other’s company. You know, it’s a little thing called physics and chemistry.

Rey: Well, I better get a move on so I can get back to the station and welcome my partner back to the force.

Sharon: Bagel or muffin?

Rey: Mm, surprise me.

Sharon: Okay, and I will get you your favorite latte to go. I’m on it.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Rey: Well, babe, hold off. It’s, uh — it’s from chance.

Abby: [ Sighs ] All he does is sleep, and he looks so pale.

Chance: He was awake at the doctor’s office, right? Just fell asleep on the car ride home. That’s pretty normal.

Abby: Yeah. I’m sure you’re right. I’m just — I’m trying not to lose it.

Chance: Hey. Listen to me. We got him to the doctor as soon as we realized something was off, right? Now, he doesn’t have a rash, doesn’t have a fever. He’s not having trouble breathing. It’s nothing scary like that. So let’s just wait for these lab results, which I am sure will tell us that our baby boy is just fine. Okay? What do you think healthier looks like?

Jack: Late night?

Billy: Uh, just having a little bit of trouble sleeping.

Amanda: Mnh, insomnia’s the worst.

Billy: Yeah. I’m not loving it.

Jack: Well, you’ve had your life turned upside down these last few weeks. It’s enough to keep anyone awake at night.

Billy: I wouldn’t go that far, jack. Just a little bit of professional drama. That’s all.

Jack: Well, don’t undersell it. You lost your job. You lost your company.

Billy: And I got another job that is just as great.

Jack: You’re sure about that? Even though you’re not in charge there?

Billy: My ego isn’t that big. Amanda, will you back me up, please? You know that my gig at chancellor wasn’t about being the boss.

Amanda: Yeah, no. That was not your only concern.

Billy: Ouch.

Amanda: [ Laughs ]

Jack: Look, I’m just saying that you went from running a company with your girlfriend to being her second in command, and that’s bound to bring up an issue or two.

Billy: No, actually, none whatsoever. Lily and I are great. We are very happy both at home and at chancellor. And everything that happened at chanccomm is in the rearview mirror, including victor and his minions.

Jack: Well, that’s putting a positive spin on things.

Billy: Jack, don’t go looking for things that aren’t there, okay?

Amanda: I would just say that your brother has always been lily’s biggest cheerleader, so i I know that he loves seeing her come into her own like this.

Billy: That is very true. And thank you for the vote of confidence.

Jack: It still doesn’t explain why you look so tired.

Billy: [ Scoffs ] Look, maybe my brain’s a little revved up, but it doesn’t mean that it’s anything nefarious. You ever think about that?

Chance: Here you go. This should warm you up.

Abby: Thank you.

Chance: Yeah.

Abby: I’m just so grateful that you’re here with us.

Chance: Well, there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.

Abby: Oh, my god. Wait. There is somewhere where you’re supposed to be — I mean at the precinct with rey. Today is your first day back on the force, and you’re late.

Chance: Abby…

Abby: No, look, seriously, go. I’ll call you with an update as soon as I hear from the doctor, and then I’ll call devon, too.

Chance: Won’t be necessary.

Abby: What do you mean?

Chance: I already told them I’m not coming. It’s all good.

Abby: [ Sighs ] What terrible timing. First you’re going back and forth about returning, and now this. Are you gonna be in trouble?

Chance: No, no, no, no. Trust me — they, uh — they’ll understand.

Abby: Okay.

Chance: This much more important.

Abby: [ Sighs ] If you say so.

Chance: YeaH. This is the first time this little guy’s been sick since I’ve been home.

Abby: You know, uh, shortly after he was born, he got the sniffles. You should have seen devon and mariah and me. We were totally panicked. His fever spiked so quickly.

Chance: What’d you do?

Abby: Well, we called the pediatrician, and she assured us that it was just a cold and that babies pick up bugs like that all the time, it’s how they build their immune system, and that a fever in an infant isn’t as dangerous as it for an adult.

Chance: I didn’t know that.

Abby: I did, or least I — I should have. I mean, I — I read every single baby book that I could get my hands on. But then when there was a crisis, all that information — it just went right out of my head. It’s crazy how a situation like this can just shake you to your core. You know, I almost wish that he did have a fever because I would know exactly what to do because we’ve been through it before together and we both survived.

Chance: You know, I’m really thankful that you had mariah and devon to lean on during all that.

Abby: Yeah.

Chance: I just wish I would have been here, too.

Abby: You know what? Um, maybe we shouldn’t wait. Maybe we should go ahead and alert devon.

Lily: So, I’ve been making my way through the open proposals at chancellor.

Devon: Mm-hmm. But your head is spinning.

Lily: Oh, yeah, it has been a lot. But it’s also been kind of exciting, digging into these new fields.

Devon: I can imagine.

Lily: Yeah, but I got to our entertainment division, and i saw some projects that are in the planning phase still that reminded me of things that you and dad wanted to do at hamilton-winters.

Devon: Oh, really?

Lily: Yeah. Um, actually, it kind of got me thinking about dad and… I don’t know. I was just thinking… he would be proud of us, right?

Devon: Yeah. Yeah. Of course he’d be proud of us. Absolutely. Especially you. Look at everything you’ve accomplished since you got out of prison.

Lily: Yeah. Well, I mean, that’s part of what motivates me, you know, is that dad passed away shortly after I got released, so he never really got to see me rebuild my life and succeed.

Devon: Yeah, I know. It’s true.

Lily: ‘Cause, you know, i mean, I’ve always felt partly responsible that dad passed away so young.

Devon: I don’t know why you feel that way. Please don’T. You don’t — you’re not to blame at all for what happened to him. Nobody is. You’ve done nothing but emulate the kind of person he was, and you rose to become the head of a major corporation. He’d be beyond proud of you.

Lily: Well, thank you for saying that.

Devon: It’s the truth.

Lily: Um, anyway, I was looking at these projects, and i was thinking…

Devon: Hmm?

Lily: Well, I had a very crazy thought, something that i can’t really get out of my head.

Devon: A crazy thought? How crazy are we talking?

Lily: What if our two companies joined forces?

Devon: Like a joint venture?

Lily: Yes. Chancellor industries and hamilton-winters coming together to honor katherine and dad. I mean, if we combine our resources, we could do something incredible, something memorable.

Devon: Yeah. That’s — I mean, sounds incredible. What exactly do you have in mind?

Lily: Well, I was thinking maybe —

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Devon: Hang on one second. Hold that thought. Hang on. It’s chance. I should take this, if you don’t mind.

Lily: Yeah, yeah, yeah. No. Take it. Take it. It’s fine.

Devon: Hey, chance. How you doing?

Chance: Hey, devon. Um, look, we don’t want to alarm you, but we thought we should keep you up to speed. We had to take dominic to the pediatrician this morning.

Devon: Why’d you do that? Is he sick?

Chance: Well, he’s, uh — he’s feeling real lethargic. You know, he’s sleeping far too much. He missed a feeding, which isn’t really like him.

Devon: Okay. Where you guys at now?

Chance: We’re home now. We just wanted to keep you updated.

Devon: I appreciate that very much. Do you mind if I come and check on him?

Chance: Yeah, of course. When?

Devon: I can come right now if that’s okay.

Chance: Um… yeah, sure thing.

Devon: Okay. Perfect. I’ll, uh — I’ll be there shortly.

Chance: Okay.

Devon: They had to take dominic to the doctor, and i want to, uh, go check on him, make sure he’s alright. Can we finish this another time?

Lily: Yeah, of course. Is he okay?

Devon: I hope so. Most of your immune system lives right in your gut.

Billy: How dare I impugn your character by showing a little brotherly concern?

Billy: Obviously you think that I’m being defensive. Okay. Maybe I’m just used to being a target. Maybe that is my natural response these days. Or maybe the lack of sleep has me a little bit wired. Either way, I’m sorry. I apologize for being…testy.

Jack: Well, apology accepted. I am still concerned about this insomnia. I have battled with it myself from time to time.

Billy: Mm.

Jack: Maybe I can help. Is it bad dreams? Is it falling asleep? Is it staying asleep?

Billy: That one. The latter. Waking up at 2:00, 3:00, 4:00 in the morning, staring at the ceiling. My body needs the rest, but my mind will not let it. And don’t even talk about quitting caffeine because I’m far too young for that.

Jack: Maybe your subconscious is having a hard time with everything that you’ve been put through. I mean even if during the day things seem stable and steady on and on track.

Billy: Okay. I saw that there. What, are you a therapist now, too?

Amanda: Hardly. I don’t know you as well as your brother jack, but you have been through a lot these past few months, with adam and ashland and victor, and that kind of stress — it can stay with you. And it will mess you up if you let it.

Billy: So, what are you suggesting? I climb to the rooftops and scream at the top of my lungs again?

Amanda: Well, I don’t think that your tenants would appreciate that.

Billy: No, I don’t need them complaining to the landlord.

Amanda: No.

Billy: No.

Jack: Okay, there’s obviously something here I’m not getting.

Billy: Well, way back when amanda and I were getting to know each other, my favorite release was climbing to the rooftop of the grand phoenix and shouting, screaming at the top of my lungs. I even convinced her to try it one time.

Amanda: Yes, yes, he did. And I have to say, it was pretty satisfying.

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Amanda: Yes, but we have both grown and moved on from that phase in our lives.

Billy: We have. And we are happy and healthy and functional, healed.

Jack: Some wounds heal. Others appear to and then they open up later, when we least expect them to. At least, that’s been my experience. Look, I’m just saying, maybe there are some issues that you’re not letting yourself look at that you still need to confront.

Rey: Looks like chance won’t be starting today after all.

Sharon: That’s a relief.

Rey: Really? Why?

Sharon: Well, I didn’t want to say anything earlier, but, um, I’m a little worried about him, too. You know, I’m wondering if he’s ready to do police work, get out there and be the solid, stable partner you need on the job. I know abby would like him to stay home longer. So, if they’ve decided to spend more time together as a family, I think that’s a positive.

Rey: Sharon, hold on. It’s not that. It’s, uh — I wish it were, but it’s actually about dom.

Sharon: Oh. What about him?

Rey: They had to take him to the doctor today.

Sharon: Oh, no.

Rey: Yeah.

Sharon: Well, I hope it’s nothing serious.

Rey: Well, he wouldn’t say, but he feels like he has to be there for abby and their son while they get it sorted out.

Sharon: Of course, of course. Um, do you think I should check in with her or let mariah know?

Rey: You know, I think for now we should let those two handle it.

Devon: Hey. What’s going on with him? When’d you guys first notice that someone was wrong?

Abby: Well, he’s been sleeping a lot more than usual. He looks pale. And we noticed that he was really tired before we went to mariah and tessa’s engagement party, and we thought maybe he was going through a growth spurt or maybe he just had a long day. But then he slept through the night and he woke up and he was still lethargic, so I called the pediatrician, and she told us to bring him right in.

Chance: Just as a precaution.

Devon: And what’d the doctor say?

Chance: Uh, well, his physical test came back pretty normal, but she wanted to take some blood tests just to be sure.

Devon: She wanted to take blood tests for what?

Abby: You know doctors. They don’t want to jump to any conclusions.

Chance: She didn’t seem overly concerned, if you ask me.

Devon: Did she give any indication at all as to what’s going on with him?

Chance: No, not really. You know doctors, man. They don’t like to speculate.

Abby: Whereas I — I can’t stop speculating. I’ve been combing the internet looking for any clues.

Devon: And what have you found?

Abby: I’ve been searching the baby’s symptoms online, and it seems like there might be a chance that he’s anemic.

Devon: It might be anemia?

Abby: I don’t know. I’m not a doctor.

Devon: That’s treatable, though, right?

Wait, oh, yes

Lily: Wait. I’m sorry. For how long? Uh, okay. Well, yeah. I mean, I guess it is what it is, so — okay, well, let me just, um, chat with billy, and I’ll get back to you. Thank you.

[ Keys clatter ]

Billy: What’s the problem?

Lily: Um, that was the head of facilities. The contractors told him that the construction’s gonna take a while.

Billy: Oh, no.

Lily: So either we work there and we just deal with the drilling and the hammering…

Billy: No, that would be a negative.

Lily: …Or we work here for the meantime.

Billy: Is there really no space in that building for us to work out of?

Lily: No, there’s not.

Billy: What about somewhere nearby?

Lily: I don’t have time to look, and neither do you.

Billy: Isn’t that what the facility manager is supposed to do?

Lily: Well, I mean, I’ll look into it. But, anyway, in the meantime, I have very important news.

Billy: Oh, yeah? Hit me.

Lily: I chatted with devon about us possibly doing a joint venture. We didn’t really get into it because he got called away. He had to deal with dom. Dom, I guess, had to go to the doctor.

Billy: Oh, no. Is the baby okay?

Lily: I mean, I hope so. I told devon to let me know if there’s any news. But, honestly, I think it’s just new-parent jitters.

Billy: I remember those well.

Lily: Oh, yeah. I do, too.

Billy: So, tell me about this meeting that you had — or, at least, as much as you got through.

Lily: Well, I think I was able to pique devon’s interest at the prospect of chancellor and hamilton-winters doing a joint venture together. I mean, this could be really, really groundbreaking.

Billy: You’ve got that sparkle in your eye that I love to see.

Lily: Well, I mean, you know, I like making my work personal. It makes it more exciting for me. Oh, I’m sorry. Am I — am I boring you?

Billy: No. No, of course not. I guess I just didn’t have enough coffee — because you drained it.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: Maybe we could get the facilities manager to order us some more.

Lily: Oh, ha ha.

Billy: In fact, I was just at crimson lights and I should have grabbed a bag or two, but it, uh, slipped my mind.

Lily: Because of how tired you were? I mean, I actually heard you get up the last few nights in the middle of the night.

Billy: Yeah. Sorry. I was trying to be quiet. Tried not to disturb you, but, uh, just been feeling a little restless.

Lily: Yeah, but three nights in a row? I mean, clearly something is going on. So…what’s up?

Jack: So, what is michael up to now that he’s stepped away as D.A.? Working on his squash game?

Lauren: [ Laughs ] I only wish. His retirement lasted a whole of, uh, half a day once victor found out about it.

Jack: Oh, don’t tell me.

Lauren: Yes, he is working for him again.

Billy: An offer he couldn’t refuse.

Lauren: How on earth did you guess?

Jack: I know victor. When he wants something, the man does not give up.

Lauren: Yeah, and of course michael said, “oh, no, there’ll be reasonable hours. There’ll be boundaries. I’m not gonna let this job take over my life.” And what happens? The minute victor could, he sends him to south america on a secret mission.

Jack: Classic mustache.

Lauren: [ Sighs ] Isn’t it?

Jack: You have my sympathies.

Lauren: You know, I’m starting to think that this was not a good idea for michael to take this job.

Jack: You know, frankly, I’m surprised he accepted it. Didn’t he like being D.A.?

Lauren: You know, he was getting antsy. He thought that he wanted to go out on top. And now, with victor [Scoffs] Anything can happen.

Abby: I mean, I’m not really good with all this medical-ese stuff, but, I mean, it seems like if it is anemia, that could be treated with iron drops.

Devon: You think maybe it’s his diet? ‘Cause there could be other deficiencies. I know when I don’t get vitamin c —

Chance: I don’t think we ought to be second-guessing the doctors here. I mean, do y’all? We’re not trained in any of this.

Abby: And plus, babies’ little systems are so different from ours.

Devon: I’m sure. Do you want me to give nate a call, though, and see what he has to say?

Chance: I mean, you can, but I’m telling you, man, dr. Bradley, she’s — she’s world-class.

Abby: She really is.

Chance: Didn’t she tell me she’s a friend of nate’s?

Abby: Yeah, he recommended her to us.

Chance: Yeah.

Devon: I wasn’t aware of that.

Chance: Look, I just think, in any case, we’re in good hands here.

Devon: Yeah. No, I trust your judgment.

Abby: Well, what if it’s my fault? I mean, what if I took him off breast milk too soon? What if he’s not eating the right foods? And what if he has bad circulation? I try to play with him all the time and we do tummy time, but maybe I need to be more active with him?

Chance: Hey, no, stop. Do not start blaming yourself. Okay? You are an excellent mother. And, look, if that’s the case, those are things that we can adjust if the doctor tells us to.

Devon: Yeah, he’s right, abby. What’s going on with dominic has nothing to do with you or anything you’ve done, okay?

Abby: I’m sorry. Are you accusing me of over-reacting, devon? Because that really isn’t helpful.

Devon: I’m not.

Abby: I mean, I am his mother. I am supposed to protect him. That is my job. What if it’s not anemia? What if it’s something else? And my mind can’t stop going to the worst possible thing. I’m sorry. I — I can’t help it. That’s just who I am. So, you telling me to calm down — it’s just making me more anxious.

Chance: Hey.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. If you think all pads are exactly the same, think again.

Chance: Hey. No one is telling you to calm down or accusing you of over-reacting, okay? This whole thing has just got everybody stressed. Everybody’s on edge. All we need to do is take this thing step by step together. You and me, right? Lean on each other.

Abby: I want to. I just — I — I can’t keep my worries in check. I’m not built that way.

Chance: Look, facts are different than feelings. So let’s focus on what we know. Abby, I’m telling you, if dr. Bradley was that concerned, she would have admitted him for observation right then and there. But she didn’T. She told us to go home. She told us to let him rest. And that’s what we’re gonna do, okay? So let’s get these test results, and then we’ll go from there.

Abby: Everything you’re saying makes perfect sense, but it doesn’t make it any easier.

Devon: How you doing, little man? I usually get called over to help quiet you down when you’re being fussy. This is a change of pace, huh? That’s okay. It’s okay ’cause babies change their routines all the time as they’re growing. I learned that.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Crystal: Hello, ms. Lawson. Always a pleasure to see you. How may I help you this evening?

Chelsea: I need a suite. For an extended stay. I’m selling my place, so I’m not sure how long I’ll be here, but I’m looking forward to basking in some ease and luxury.

Crystal: You’ve come to the right place. We’ll take very good care of you.

Chelsea: Thank you.

Crystal: Have a great night.

Chelsea: I’m sure I will.

Adam: What brings you back here at this hour?

Sally: Remember how we were gonna discuss the details of the job you offered me at newman media?

Adam: Yeah. Um…sorry that our conversation got derailed earlier.

Sally: It’s okay. You had calls to take, people to meet. But I was hoping maybe we could talk now, because I don’t think I’m gonna be able to sleep until we do.

Adam: You sound worried.

Sally: Just more curious of the specifics of the job, like what exactly I’m gonna be doing on a day-to-day in a professional capacity and how that’s going to play out in reality.

Adam: You were so excited for us to continue to work together. You, uh, having second thoughts now?

Tessa: Mariah, can I take this off yet?

Mariah: Okay, just another second.

Tessa: Okay.

[ Chuckles ]

Mariah: Alright, okay. I am so sorry about that, but… I just had to make sure… everything was set up.

Tessa: Aww.

Mariah: How do you like it? Is it worth the wait?

Tessa: It’s perfect. I love it. I love you.

[ Chuckles ]

Rey: You should be proud. Party was a huge success. Mariah and tessa could not have looked happier.

Sharon: Oh, I’m just so thrilled that we were all able to create a magical evening for them. I have to admit, I was a little nervous about some of the potential dynamics in play at first. I was worried about how mariah might react seeing abby and devon now that they’re sharing custody of dominic.

Rey: She seemed okay to me.

Sharon: Yeah, she’s really come a long way. And there was a time when she would’ve been desperate to share custody of dominic, but I think she’s gotten past all of her angst surrounding him.

Rey: Yeah, she seems to be in a good place now. When you said you were concerned, I thought you were talking about noah and his lingering feelings for tessa.

Sharon: That was on my mind as well. You know, I truly believe that noah wishes all the best for mariah and tessa, but despite his best efforts to be their biggest cheerleader, I know that tonight was really hard for him, so I’m glad that he went home with nick because I think my son could use a little extra support right now.

Nick: Thank you. Thanks for coming to get something to eat with me. I know I lured you out of the party with the promise of going to see a movie, but I realized i didn’t eat anything, and now I’m starving. So how does a plate of empanadas sound?

Noah: I know what you’re doing.

Nick: What am I doing?

Noah: You are trying to get me to eat something ’cause you’re worried I had one too many glasses of champagne. I promise you, I’m not drunk.

Nick: Maybe not, but I know you’re hurting, son. And I will do anything I can to help you. Lactaid is 100% real milk, just without the lactose.

Sharon: Even though I know noah’s in very good hands, i want to check in with nick later just to make sure that everything’s okay. I know that noah’s a grown man, but I can still be concerned.

Rey: [ Laughs ] I didn’t say anything.

Sharon: Well, you didn’t have to, ’cause I can see that look in your eye.

Rey: All I’m thinking is what a wonderful mother you are.

Sharon: Aw, thank you. You know, having all the kids around here tonight and watching mariah celebrate her engagement just got me feeling a little extra…maternal. It’s hard not to feel nostalgic when I think back to the mariah who came into my life — walls up a mile high, so sure that she couldn’t depend on anyone other than herself. That mariah would have scoffed at the idea of anyone finding true love. But now she’s found it, and she’s ready to start a life with tessa. It’s remarkable.

Rey: And inspiring, to see them so devoted to one another and optimistic about the future.

Sharon: And I am convinced that what they share in their hearts will get them through anything that life throws at them. That’s gonna give them the strength to overcome any obstacle.

Rey: Life is good. I’m so happy for you and your family.

Sharon: Hey, what do you mean “my family”? They’re your family, too.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone vibrates ]

Sally: I was ecstatic when you said you wanted to keep working with me, and I am very flattered.

Adam: But the thrill is gone? ‘Sally: No, the thrill is definitely still there. But…you offered me a job spontaneously to help me save face in front of chloe and chelsea. And of course, I am very grateful and of course, i accepted in the moment. And I can’t thank you enough for finding me a place at newman media now that the fashion platform has been shuttered. But you haven’t been able to tell me exactly what that place is, except for maybe covering fashion news.

Adam: So is this you letting me off the hook? Or are you trying to tell me that you’re looking for something better or more enticing?

Sally: Maybe both. Maybe neither. I don’t know. It depends on where your head is at. You’re the boss. What? Well, I’m glad you find me so amusing.

Adam: I do endlessly, but in a good way. And you’re very smart to raise these questions because you should never commit to something until you know precisely what you are committing to.

Sally: Mm-hmm.

Adam: I’ve actually been thinking a lot about you since we parted ways.

Sally: Really?

Adam: I know that fashion is your first love, but I think that you could channel that energy in a new direction.

Sally: You have me intrigued.

Adam: I see a lot of potential in you. That’s why I think you’re ready to take on a new challenge, which is why I am ready to offer you a specific position with a specific title.

Sally: Are you gonna tell me what that is?

Adam: What would you say to becoming chief operating officer of newman media?

Sally: [ Gasps ] What do you think healthier looks like?

Nick: I think we should order another batch of empanadas, and don’t tell me you’re not hungry. I mean, you wolfed down this whole first order. I barely got one.

Noah: Yeah, yeah, I can go for more. I think I can pass on whatever else you’re about to serve up.

Nick: Alright, what’s that?

Noah: I can’t help but notice that since we’ve gotten here, you have gone out of your way to keep the conversation on nothing but sports and movies. Nothing about the party we were just at, yet you’re watching my every move, trying to figure out what’s going on in my head. So I’m assuming the second course is coming with a big side of questions.

Nick: Look, it’s not an interrogation. Alright? I’m just trying to get you to talk. I know you’re doing your damndest to deal with these feelings you have for tessa, but I know you. I saw you put on that big, old smile and make that beautiful toast to mariah and tessa.

Noah: I meant every word.

Nick: I’m sure. But I know this is a lot harder for you than you’re letting on.

Noah: Look, dad, I know you and mom are worried, but I’m gonna tell you the same thing that I told her. I’m gonna be fine, okay? Seriously, can we please, please just get back to eating our empanadas?

Nick: So just back off, then?

Mariah: Would you like a chocolate martini?

Tessa: [ Gasps ] Yes, that sounds so decadent and delicious.

Mariah: Well, that is the right answer because it’s the only fancy drink that I remember how to make from my bartending days.

Tessa: [ Laughs ] When did you have time to do all of this? You were only gone for a few minutes.

Mariah: Well, I had a little bit of help.

Tessa: Oh, faith.

Mariah: Yep.

Tessa: That’s what you two were whispering about.

Mariah: It was our super-secret mission.

Tessa: I mean, after the party we just had, I did not expect this. I mean, this is just above and beyond.

Mariah: Well, if you can’t go above and beyond when you’re newly engaged, then when can you? I wanted to keep celebrating us. The first part of the night was for our friends and our family, but the rest of the night — the rest of the night is for us. So…here is to you and me.

Tessa: To us.

Mariah: Mmm.

Rey: I know that your family is my family. I didn’t mean to imply that they aren’T.

Sharon: Well, I can’t help wondering if there might be something more to what you said. Did one of the kids say something to make you feel like an outsider?

Rey: No, no, not at all.

Sharon: Did I say something or nick?

Rey: No, it’s nothing like that, I swear. Everyone was great. Like always.

Sharon: Well, that’s a relief. But I still wonder where that comment came from, because i know it came from somewhere. You know, whatever you’re feeling, you can talk to me.

Rey: You remember that conversation we had not that long ago about the connection that you and nick have with your children, the way that you can read mariah and noah and faith in a way that I can’t?

Sharon: Yeah, well, that’s just, you know, part of being a parent and having a lot of years under your belt.

Rey: I know, I know. I get that I arrived a little later on the scene. It’s just that when I see you and nick with your children, i become extra aware that I missed out on the whole parenting thing. It’s not that I’m looking to have children now. It’s just that, once in a while, I have these “what if” moments, right? And then, of course, they go away. They’re just these fleeting moments of a life that might have been. Do you know what I mean?

Sharon: Yeah, I completely understand.

Rey: Good, because I love the life that we share more than anything.

Chelsea: Hey, there. I hope I’m not interrupting.

New vicks vapostick. Strong soothing vapors…

Chelsea: What did I walk in on? Were you closed for a private function tonight? I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize. The patio door was unlocked.

Sharon: No, that’s okay. Yes, we were having a little party earlier. We were celebrating mariah and tessa’s engagement.

Chelsea: Oh! That’s wonderful news. Congratulations.

Sharon: Thank you. We’re all thrilled.

Chelsea: Okay, so you definitely are closed. Again, my apologies. I will see myself out.

Sharon: You know, you don’t have to go. I don’t mind getting you something to drink. What would you like?

Chelsea: Oh, thank you. Well, since it’s late, maybe something not caffeinated.

Sharon: Mm, would you like warm cider?

Chelsea: Perfect.

Rey: So, sharon and I heard from nick that newman media was sold to newman/locke.

Chelsea: It’s true.

Rey: Mm. How’s that gonna affect your business with sally and chloe?

Chelsea: Chloe and I will no longer be associated with any newman entity, but the good news is we are already close to securing our backing for our newest endeavor.

Rey: Oh, wow. That’s great news.

Sharon: Yeah, that is good news. And will sally continue to work with you?

Chelsea: No, unfortunately, ms. Spectra won’t be able to join us. I never felt like she really fit our vision anyway. She’s still working alongside adam, which is odd, considering victoria insisted she didn’t want any kind of fashion platform, but…

Sharon: So what will she be doing?

Chelsea: No idea. But adam clearly has some purpose for her in mind.

Sally: Coo?! Are you serious?

Adam: I would not joke about something this serious.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] I…I don’t know what to say.

Adam: Uh, well, I guess I’m asking you the same question that you asked me — how serious are you?

Sally: Well, I appreciate the massive vote of confidence, but…I mean, let’s be honest. I’m not the most obvious person for the job.

Adam: It is outside-the-box thinking, okay? But let me tell you how I came to this decision. You are artistic. You’re creative. But you also have a head for business. I mean, in your time here, you’ve shown yourself to be very smart, driven, and especially savvy when it comes to media, especially social media. You have a fire inside that i respect and, quite frankly, i admire.

Sally: Well, thank you for that. Back at you. I mean, I think that that’s something that we have in common, this deep-seated need to succeed and prove ourselves. I mean, not that I’ve come even close to what you’ve achieved, but I just mean —

Adam: No, no, I know what you mean. My father is always testing me and making me prove that i deserve my seat at the table. Okay? But now I’m gonna prove to him and victoria and ashland that nobody is better to helm newman media than I am. And I could really use someone by my side that I can rely on.

Sally: I’m just triple-checking — you mean me.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Yes. I want to name a coo before my sister can start suggesting people because any one of her candidates are gonna be a spy and they’re gonna be all too happy to report back on my every move.

Sally: So you want me to be your spy.

Adam: No. No, I want you to be my partner. I trust you, and I value your loyalty as much as your talent. So what do you say? Are you interested?

Sally: [ Scoffs ] Yeah, of course I’m interested. I would be a fool not to be, but I…

[ Sighs ] I just can’t help but wonder how victor and victoria are gonna react. I mean, yes, victoria has been perfectly pleasant towards me because she loved the wedding dress, but that does not mean she’s gonna love me being newman media’s coo. I mean, she could push back hard.

Adam: Okay. Let her.

Sally: And victor may not be a huge fan of the idea either. Won’t you have to get their approval?

Adam: Listen, don’t worry about them. I can handle my sister and my father.

Sally: Oh, my god, this is incredible. Thank you.

Adam: You’re welcome. There is a big, bright future ahead for us. What about a celebratory drink?

Sally: I would say yes, but before we celebrate or move forward with…any of this… I think we better discuss our personal relationship.

Mariah: This has got to be one of the best nights of my life.

Tessa: Maybe the best night. I mean, so far.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ] Years from now, I am gonna remember this exact moment — sitting here with you, so excited to be marrying you, and wondering how I got so lucky.

Tessa: I’m the lucky one.

Mariah: Oh, do you — do you want another drink?

Tessa: No.

Mariah: Okay, do you want to watch a movie?

Tessa: No.

Mariah: Well, what do you want to do then? Okay, yeah, I think I — I think I know what you’ve got in mind. Depression can make you feel like…just…noooo.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. I’ve got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Sharon: I wish you the best in your new business with chloe.

Chelsea: Thank you.

Rey: And I have a bit of advice for you, if you wouldn’t mind hearing it.

Chelsea: Please.

Rey: Don’t waste a drop of your energy wondering about adam’s relationship with sally. It’s a good thing that you don’t have to report to him anymore. The fact that you’re moving on with your life is something you should be elated about.

Chelsea: I am, for sure.

Rey: Putting this last chapter behind you is the best thing you can do, and it looks like you’re already doing that, right? I mean, it’s why you decided to sell the penthouse, right?

Chelsea: I had to distance myself from all the memories. I packed my things up today, actually, and I temporarily moved into the grand phoenix until I can find a new home.

Rey: Good. See? It sounds like you’re already on your way to a fresh start.

Chelsea: Yeah, there have been some hard days since I came back to town, but I’m gonna put all that behind me. It’s gonna be all sunshine from here on out. Maybe not all sunshine, but you know what I mean.

Sharon: Yeah, positive attitude, that’s half the battle, right?

Rey: Yeah, and the other half is putting one foot in front of the other. And we’re all rooting for you.

Tessa: Hi. Oh, I was just getting some water. You didn’t have to get out of bed.

Mariah: Oh, I wasn’t sleeping. I was just closing my eyes. You know, I wasn’t really tired before, and then you kind of just woke me up, so… thank you. Oh, I just don’t want this night to end. I just have this warm, fuzzy, and dreamy feeling, like, all over. Do you think we could just spend forever this time, this place?

Tessa: Works for me.

Mariah: You know, I really love your studio apartment, because that was our first home. But I have to say, I am really, really glad that we moved here. It’s so nice to have so much space.

Tessa: Yeah, I mean, we have an actual bedroom and another one for a little boy or little girl.

Mariah: Wow. This place is filled with so much possibility. Oh, did you see our poster and what everybody wrote to us?

Tessa: Oh, no, I was too busy talking to everyone and gazing at my beautiful fiancéE.

Mariah: Aww.

Tessa: Oh, could faith’s note be any sweeter?

Mariah: And I love what moses said about you getting a grammy, because I second that prediction, okay? Abby and chance’s message — just really, really sweet. And she even signed for bowie.

Tessa: It was really nice to see you, abby, and devon talking earlier.

Mariah: Yeah, I’m — I’m really glad that I’m at peace with them and that the whole dominic situation is sorted out, because I have everything I need right here. Who drew the heart? Because it’s not signed.

Tessa: Oh, that’s from noah.

Noah: Thank you for dinner and for not, you know, pushing the whole tessa thing.

Nick: Well, I do listen sometimes.

Noah: [ Scoffs ] I didn’t mean to completely shut you down like that. I understand why you’d be concerned. It’s just that I don’t want you guys to think that I’m falling apart or I’m some kind of hopeless romantic. I’m going through some turmoil right now, but it’ll pass. What matters to me most is that I’m here with my family and i have a purpose. And for a while, I thought that purpose was art, but…I don’t know, maybe I was wrong. Maybe I’ll find what I’m looking for here working with you.

Nick: And it goes without saying, noah, your mother and i are beyond thrilled that you’re home. We just want to find your center, you know, whatever that is or however that happens.

Noah: Then we all want the same thing.

Nick: Just know, you need anything, I don’t care what it is, your mom and I are always here for you.

Noah: I know. I couldn’t ask for anything more. Thanks, dad. (Cyclist) why is ice t in a speed walking crew?

Sally: So when we came back to the office earlier, I was very moved by you asking me to stay on, and you may have noticed that I hugged you.

Adam: I-I noticed.

Sally: No, I mean, like, i really hugged you, like, not in a coworker kind of way.

Adam: Oh, you haven’t met joe from accounting.

Sally: I’m serious. And when we were in said hug, i could literally feel the temperature rise between us, and I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the only one.

Adam: [ Clears throat ] I, uh — I may have needed a moment to cool off after you left.

Sally: Yeah, we almost… or could’ve…gone there. I think that we need to stop dancing around the obvious and address what’s going on between us head-on. Because the truth is, whether we are standing close to each other or across the room, there is a chemistry between us. I can literally feel the fireworks in the making, and a lot of times, it takes every ounce of self-discipline in me not to act on those fireworks. And I’m pretty sure that we’ve both been trying to avoid our feelings, and I don’t want to do that anymore, because something is happening between us, even if we pretend it’s not.

Adam: Well, I mean, that’s not gonna be a problem, as long as we’re working together.

Sally: I don’t know what that means. Are you still trying to convince yourself that we’re just friends and colleagues or are you finally saying that you want what I want, but it’s not gonna get in the way of what we’re trying to accomplish professionally?

Adam: [ Sighs ] The second part. Everything that you just described. I feel the same way.

Chelsea: Well, thanks for the drink and conversation. I’m glad I stopped by. And I’m glad you forgot to lock the patio door.

Rey: [ Chuckles ]

Sharon: You’re welcome.

[ Knock on door ] Oh. Who knew I was this popular after hours?

Chelsea: [ Chuckles ]

Sharon: Oh. Hey, what are you doing back here?

Nick: Oh, I thought you and rey might use some help cleaning up.

Sharon: And?

Nick: And I wanted to fill you in about something. Hey, chelsea.

Chelsea: Hi, nick.

Nick: What’s — what’s up?

Chelsea: Oh, you know, we’re just hanging out.

Sharon: Um, I could actually use some help cleaning the patio.

Nick: Yeah, sure. It’s good to see you.

Chelsea: You too.

Chelsea: Well, um, thank you for the chat. I really appreciate your support and advice. Never in a million years did i think we’d become friends, but correct me if I’m wrong, I think that’s happened.

Rey: Well, if you think I’m going to disagree with you, I’m sorry, I’m gonna have to disappoint you.

Chelsea: So many people in this town haven’t been sincere about giving me a second chance, but you’re the real deal. You’re genuine, kind. You’ve been able to look past the things I’ve done, and you’ve been able to see me for who i really am. It means a lot.

Sharon: Chelsea just happened to drop by. She didn’t even know about the engagement party, but seems like she needed some company. I think she’s dealing with a lot with adam and the whole newman media drama.

Nick: There’s always collateral damage when it comes to my family. Then, when you throw in the business, things always tend to get worse, which is why I keep my nose out of it.

Sharon: So I hope what you came by to talk to me about is noah.

Nick: Yes, when we left here, we didn’t go straight home. We ended up at society. We grabbed some food. I forced him to have a father-son talk with me.

Sharon: Oh, good, because i knew this party was gonna be hard on him. But let me guess, he said that everything’s totally fine and there’s nothing to worry about.

Nick: Pretty much. He basically told me to back off.

Sharon: [ Sighs ] Noah’s always had such a big heart, and he’s always wore it on his sleeve. Seems like now he’s shutting down. And if he doesn’t feel comfortable talking to you or talking to me about what he’s going through, nick, that’s not good.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Tessa: Just in case, if you had any doubt, I think that represents his love for us, and not, you know, me.

Mariah: Yeah, I know that’s how he meant it. I actually asked noah to draw something because I thought it’d be worth something one day.

Tessa: Ah.

Mariah: And I guess this is his way of granting my request.

Tessa: [ Laughs ] So you guys talked?

Mariah: We did. We got all the weirdness out, you know, brother, sister straight talk, and now we are good. I still feel bad for him, though, because I get it. It sucks having feelings for someone you shouldn’t and you can’t have, but I know he’s — he’s really working hard to make sure that we’re okay and you’re okay and he’s okay.

[ Chuckles ]

Tessa: I mean, yeah, I — i think the most important thing that we can do is show him that everything’s normal and nothing’s changed between the three of us, because I know that’s what he wanted when we talked.

Mariah: Well, that sounds like a plan to me. So, now, onto us.

Tessa: Okay.

Mariah: Are you feeling sleepy?

Tessa: No.

Mariah: Mm. I like the sound of that.

Nick: So I don’t think there’s any cause for alarm where noah is concerned. He has made it very clear to me he’s not gonna get in the way of what mariah and tessa have. He seems very glad that they have found the happiness that they both deserve.

Sharon: Sure, and I’m sure that noah wants to get over tessa, but, you know, that’s easier said than done.

Nick: It’s just gonna take time, and it makes sense that this is something that he doesn’t want to talk about, because that would mean he’s dredging up this very painful thing he’s trying to get over. He just has to learn to cope with it. You know, he wants to focus on his work and all the things he needs to do for himself.

Sharon: Well, I guess there’s nothing we can do to help noah right now. He just has to work his way through this.

Nick: Exactly.

Sharon: Wait, is this your way of suggesting that I should just back down and let things play out, only you made it seem like it was my idea?

Nick: Well, I did learn from the best.

Sharon: Well, I don’t manipulate people. I just gently nudge them toward a more constructive, healthy path.

Nick: Oh, yeah, that’s right.

Sharon: Are you enjoying yourself?

Nick: I am. Um, I also told noah that, you know, if he ever needs anything that he can come to us for whatever.

Sharon: You really think he’s gonna be okay?

Nick: I really do.

Tessa: It’s all for you.

Noah: What do you mean?

Tessa: The words, the songs, everything.

Noah: [ Gasps ]

[ Groans ]

[ Sighs ]

Chelsea: [ Laughs ]

Rey: What’s so funny?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Oh, it’s connor. Look at this picture. He’s with his new hockey teammates. He still thinks it’s the funniest thing in the world when he does the whole “rabbit ears,” you know, behind his teammate’s head. Look, it’s so cute! It’s so sweet. I just wish he could stay this age forever. Sorry, I’m doing the whole mom thing here, but I figure you have a sweet bond with him. I didn’t think you’d mind looking at these.

Rey: Hey, I don’t mind at all.

Chelsea: And then, look, this one — see? Then after his buddy realizes what he was doing, they just start laughing and giggling. It’s — oh, they’re just so happy, not a care in the world.

Rey: Mm. To be a kid again, huh?

Chelsea: Absolutely.

Rey: Or a proud parent.

Chelsea: Oh, I am definitely that.

Rey: You should be. You know, you’re raising a good, happy, healthy kid. Is he still liking hockey?

Chelsea: Loving it. And not to be a total mom again, but I actually think he’s pretty good at it.

Rey: You know, I saw him practicing at the ranch the other day. I think you’re right.

Sally: Did I hear you correctly?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] It was brave of you to put yourself all the way out there like that, so you deserve the same thing from me. So no more avoiding my feelings, no more holding back. I want you as much as you want me.

Sally: Oh, my god.

Adam: But…

Sally: Oh, no.

Adam: We both know that it’s not that simple.

Sally: Yeah, the best things never are. Look, and I need you to know that I am not willfully avoiding all of the implications or complications or any of the other “-tions” that are relevant here. I just thought that we should be totally up-front with each other before embarking on this next great adventure together.

Adam: Mm-hmm. And I think we both can agree that we need to take the next steps to get you installed at newman media and jump through the hoops to get you set up as coo, and then we can figure out how we’re gonna work together and complement each other, and then we can figure out what’s going on personally between us.

Sally: Oh. This conversation just took a turn. Um… [ Clears throat ] So is what you’re saying…

Adam: That we shouldn’t act on those feelings right this moment.

Sally: Like, at this very moment? ‘Cause, I mean, I agree. You’re right. Someone could walk in on us.

Adam: You know what I mean.

Sally: No, I do. I got it. Okay, well, so in that case, I should get back to work. Good night, adam.

Adam: Good night.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 

a big hug and kiss for me? Okay. Then just give her a big hug. But make it two. Yes, one for me and one…

[ Elevator doors open ] …From her dad. Bye. There’s nothing to be

gained by keepingthis a secret anymore. What are — what are you talking about?

[ Clears throat ] You’re right. It’s time. It’s the only way we’re gonna find louise. Honey, you mean bailey. No. Anna… bailey is louise. She’s my daughter. Maxie, uh, maybe you should sit down. Um, we’ll get you a glass of water. No, I don’t — I don’t need water. I’m fine. Look. You don’t need to be brave for us. You’ve been through hell. Peter’s lies, his crimes, losing your daughter. And now your father’s in the hospital. I mean, it’s enough to break the strongest of us. Actually, dad… maxie’s as strong as they come.

[ Monitor beeping ] How’s my brother? How did the surgery go? Uh, mac is resting comfortably. Oh, that’s good news, right? Uh, yeah, yeah, of course it is. Can we see him? Not yet. He only just got back from recovery. I-I’m sorry. Uh…the… well…

[ Chuckles ] Gotta buck up, babe. He’s getting the best possible care that he can here. He’s got us. And another good reason to hate peter august. That grudge alone is enough to light a fire under mac, get him out of G.H. In no time. Yeah. So, when can you start making arrangements to get me and louise out of port charles? What’s in it for me? Well, I’m gonna make you a very contented man, victor. I’m gonna help you unearth the buried secrets about drew cain.

[ Scoffs ] Yeah, so you’ve been saying for…how long now?

Well, your perseverance is about to pay off, victor. All I ask for in exchange is safe passage for me and my daughter out of port charles. Your requests continue to multiply. Well, that’s economics for you, isn’t it? You have the demand, and I control the supply. And you know you have to deal with me. So tell me, victor. What’s it gonna be?


Can we see mac? You can go in now. Only one visitor at a time. You do it. He might see me and have a heart attack.

[ Crying ] Thank you.

[ Monitor beeping ] Felicia: Can you feel my hand, mac? I’m not letting go. Robert’s here. Robin’s trying to get a flight out. I told her that she was wasting her time. By the time she gets here, you’re gonna be back in action. You made an honest woman out of me, mac. Damned if I start lying for you now. Ned: I don’t doubt your strength, maxie, but you can’t go around saying that bailey is your daughter. That’s — the truth. Bailey isn’t bailey, dad. Bailey is louise. No. No. Maxie’s daughter was lost in the woods. No, that w– that wasn’t the plan. Bobbie was supposed to help me give birth in beechers corners, far away from peter, giving me plenty of time to say goodbye to her before she left with brook lynn. Do you want me to tell them the rest? No, I can do it. I was supposed to come home and say that I lost my baby… and — and never see her again until peter was in prison and louise was safe. Then she would come home. But your plan never came off. ‘Cause peter had his own plan in place to kidnap you. Brook lynn: So we improvised. It worked for a while. Thought we got the better of peter. But he got louise anyway. Well, victor, if you won’t step up and make arrangements, I’ll have to secure my own departure. Without my help, you’ll be recaptured. Well, perhaps. But then again, maybe D.A. Scorpio will want to cut a deal with me based on my knowledge of your interest in drew. Meet me at pier 55. I’ll get you out of port charles undetected. Smart choice. I’ll be seeing you. Should I get the boat? Fuel is precious. Peter august is just wasted carbon. He’s just outlived his usefulness. What do you think? Can we trust ol’ victor, louise? Hmm. I agree. He has proven to be treacherous in the past, hasn’t he? And he will prove so again and again if given the chance. So…let’s not give him one. I knew it. Carly, you got to listen to me. No. You’re a liar. You’re a liar! Kristina told me you weren’t showing up. Peter august escaped. Dante was hurt. Mac scorpio was shot. I thought you’d want to know. I didn’t mean for that to happen. I didn’t, either. Sonny, I’m so sorry. So am I.

[ Breathing heavily ] Where, uh — alright. Thanks. Uh, listen, nina — no, there’s nothing to say. No, there’s plenty. Um… I guess I-I got to see this through. Yeah. Of course. I love you. You’re brave. You’re frustrating. You complicate my life. You make it worth living. You make me laugh. You — you’re strong, and you’re my heart. Then you promise me you’re gonna live. I’m asking you to marry me. No tricks, no agenda. If I live and I make it through this, I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

[ Door opens ]


You heard? About peter’s escape? Yeah, anna called me. How is dante? Uh, his injuries weren’t that serious, thank goodness. Well, what about you? Are you okay? Um, nothing that an id bracelet on peter’s corpse won’t fix. Yeah, I’m gonna see what I can do about that. Don’t take any chances. I was separated from my daughter for two long years. I’m not about to risk losing her again, okay? But… I mean, if I have the opportunity to take peter down, yeah, I’m gonna take it, but only if it’s a sure bet, sam. Look. I — I got a second chance at the life I used to have. There’s no way I’m gonna let that go now. I’m on my way. I love you, too. Was that about my father? Oh, I’m sorry, honey. Laura doesn’t have any news about him yet. He always calls me. I don’t know why he didn’T. Well, we can talk to dante about that, so why don’t you get your coat and we’ll go to the hospital? I’d rather stay here in case my father comes to pick me up. I texted him that I’m staying with you and grandmother. I’m old enough to be by myself. And esme will be here soon, so I won’t be alone for long. And you have a doorman. He won’t let anyone through. Alright. But you don’t set foot outside this apartment unless you hear from me or your grandmother. Understood? Yes, sir. I’ll order a pizza and settle in. I’m not going anywhere until I see my father. Okay. The good news is dante has taken over the pcpd, and the manhunt is well on its way. Unfortunately, he has had to divide his resources. What’s happened? Ned quartermaine’s granddaughter bailey has been kidnapped. Most probably by peter august. The manhunt finds him, they’ll find the child. But why would peter august want bailey? Because bailey… is peter and maxie’s daughter, louise. Maxie: I know this is a lot to process, and I am very sorry that I deceived all of you. But peter stole my daughter. Yes. Yes. Yes. Oh, my god. Dante, what do we have? Uh, early reports suggest that the perp, obviously peter, got in through the breezeway between the garage and the kitchen. Were either of you two present? We both were, but we were out on the patio. We didn’t hear a thing. Otherwise, peter would be in custody. Maxie, I am so sorry. No, I-it is not your fault that peter escaped, okay? We need to focus on louise right now. Maxie’s right. Okay? Don’t spend another second blaming yourself. Where are we at with the investigation? Csu’s on the beach searching. They’re going door to door talking to neighbors. Okay. Have them check my car. Peter broken in and took the car seat. That’ll confirm that he’s the perp. We don’t need confirmation! Peter is the one that took her! We need to find him! No. Yes. We — we have to allow the police to be thorough. Because he might have left some evidence that’ll help us pick up his trail. And we have to do it by the book. Otherwise, he gets off on a technicality. Yeah. That could take forever! Well, there’s a faster way for us to find him. What is it? You. I waited for you.

[ Laughs ] I went to the hospital to make sure your son wasn’t dead. He’s okay, by the way. Kristina told me that you — you weren’t coming. That you — that’s what you said to her, that you couldn’t do it. So you jumped in bed with nina? Well, if you felt that you could fix this between us, why didn’t you come here hours ago? I can’t fix my marriage when there are three people in it! Let’s leave nina out of this. Why? Why? You — you didn’T. And now every time I close my eyes, I see you in bed with nina. How many times did this happen? Not once. Really? How many times did you want it to happen? Maybe as many times as you wanted it to happen with jason.


you sleep with nina, and you make it about jason? That’s not what I meant, carly. You said what you meant. You’ve been holding onto that for months waiting to throw it up in my face! Nice way to deflect from cheating on me with that bitch! Well… maybe I was holding onto it because there’s some truth to it. What about that? Jason is dead, sonny! Yeah, and you still love him. He was my best friend. He saved my life while nina played you like a marionette in her land of make-believe. Yes, I loved him! And you want him back. Don’t you want him back?! Y-you want him back because you want to be with him. Maybe this — you’ve been hoping for this to happen. You are unbelievable! You’ve been stringing me along, giving me hope.

[ Chuckling ] Oh, my god. I was — all I was doing was showing you how much I love you, that I didn’t want to lose you, that I wanted to save our marriage. You never held nina accountable for hurting our family. Not once! Okay. Okay, so now this marriage is gonna blow up in my face because you’re gonna find out an excuse. Oh, my — an excuse? You want me to destroy our family?! You think I’m gonna use that as an excuse?! No, to wallow in your misery and pine… go to hell. …For jason’s ghost. Jason didn’t cheat on me. You did. You can rewrite this story any way you want, but the ending is the same. We are over, and this is on you.

[ Chuckles ] I hereby promise not to engage in any unnecessary risk. Look. You can hold me to that.

[ Chuckles ] I-I will. Good. Keep me honest. Good. I will. Um… speaking of honesty… do you have a minute right now to talk? You know, actually, I wanted to talk to you about something, too. Let’s — let’s go somewhere private if you don’t mind. Look, as much as I would love to do that, I-I’m not 100% sure that this… well, it can wait long enough to relocate. Okay. Sounds serious. Afraid so. It’s about us. Oh. Good. I was actually gonna say the same thing. I keep trying to rack my brain and think of all the moments I had with peter during the years I wasted with him, you know, think of something that could help lead to him. But if I knew something, I would tell you. You can use us as fresh eyes on this situation that you’ve been dealing with for close to a year. So just start simple. Alright? Bobbie was supposed to help you deliver louise. Okay. Who else knew about the plan? Bobbie, brook lynn. I’d only just found out. Yeah. Chase put the pieces together just as valentin was learning that bailey wasn’t his daughter. Britt knew. She was supposed to help me deliver louise, and then she went on the run with jason, so she sort of dropped out of that plan. But I never told her that bailey was really louise. Okay. Anyone else? Nina. Nina would have taken that secret to the grave. Alright. Why don’t we go back to G.H., Check on your dad, and then we can do some more brainstorming in the car? Maxie. This is our girl’s lovey. You’ll find her soon, and she’ll want this. Thank you. Peter found out. And recently. Yeah. Someone else knew bailey is louise. And whoever that person is, if we find them, he or she is gonna lead us to peter. Is it done? My men are in place to choke off escape routes. Peter won’t be leaving here. Peter has a talent for escape. Tell the men there can be no mistakes. Either I get my way… or peter august dies. No. Correction. I get my way…

and peter august dies. Have you heard from my papa? Hey, charlotte. I didn’t even know your papa was missing. When papa goes away, he always tells me, he always checks in. But he’s been gone two days, and I don’t know who else to call. Well, I’m sure anna devane can help you with that.

[ Knock on door ] My pizza just arrived. Okay. Well, I tell you what. I will check in with anna, and I’ll call you right back.

Enjoy your pizza. Thanks, nina.

[ Knock on door ]I’m coming!

[ Ominous music plays ] Hello, charlotte. I’ve brought your pizza.


You’re gonna keep me hanging, aren’t you, mac? Isn’t that your way? Felicia: I want to be your wife, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you because I think that we belong together. Partners, huh? Partners. In everything. Please say that you love me and that you want to marry me. I believe you love me, felicia. I really believe it. Maybe for the first time. And just for the record… I would be honored to marry you.

[ Voice breaking ] The honor has been all mine, partner. Laura, how’s mac? Still unconscious. Is charlotte alright? Worried about valentin. Of course. I-it’s not like him to be gone this long without getting in touch with her. Can I see mac? Well, felicia’s in there at the moment. And they’re only allowing one visitor at a time. But, well, you are a doctor. I’m not above pulling rank if the D.A. Backs me up. Deal. Where’s your daughter? Louise is my concern, not yours. Have you done what I asked? I’ve arranged for your final withdrawal from port charles. Good. Then lead the way. Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. Just as soon as you hold up your end of the bargain. Well, you get me and louise out of here, and I’ll tell you everything you want to know about drew. Let me remind you, peter. Terms are set by the party in control. You’re wrong if you think you have any say here, victor. Perhaps I’ll take my chances, and drew’s secrets, elsewhere. Oh, oh. Careful…peter. One more step, and you’re a dead man. I need to speak with you, alone. With all due respect, sir, I prefer to stay right here. It’s okay, chase. I’ll be fine. Are you sure? Yeah. Just don’t go too far. Alright. I’ll, uh, check on csu, see how things are going. Chase really put himself on the line for you. Detective chase is a glutton for punishment. And so are you. You realized you opened yourself up to major repercussions. There may be real hell to pay for passing maxie’s daughter off as your own. Small price, considering. Peter’s still out there. Everyone involved in maxie’s scheme is in danger. And bailey’s gone. But there never was a “bailey,” was there? I kind of thought I had us all figured out. You and I were done. You were with jason, and — and I was — I was fine with that because the most important thing to me was knowing that you and scout were happy and safe, so I made peace and — and I moved on with it. And then I… I get thrown into a cell for more than two years, and I-I have no idea if I’m ever gonna get out. And there was only one thing that really kind of kept me going in there, was — was the hope… that I would see my family again, I would see scout and monica and I would see all the crazy quartermaines and sonny and carly and… and you, sam. You’re my family. I know. And you are my family, too, drew. Well, see, now that just leads me to the thing that’s kind of been bugging me a little bit. Like, what kind of family — what kind of family are we? Sam! Hey. Hi. I heard about peter’s escape, that mac was shot and dante knocked out. Are they okay? Yeah, mac is out of surgery and dante went through a bunch of tests and the doctor said he’s gonna be fine. Oh, thank god! Yeah. You must have been a wreck. I didn’t realize I was holding my breath until the doctors gave us the good news, but, yeah. No wonder. You must have been scared to death, given how much you care for dante. Yeah, of course. I mean, I love him. Sonny: So that’s it? You’re just — you’re gonna walk? You walked.

You walked! I’ve been doing everything to save our marriage. That’s why I came here tonight, sonny. Okay. Let’s — let’s talk, then. No. Hell no! There is no reason to talk! Yeah, there’s a reason. Avery and donna. You didn’t give a damn about avery and donna five minutes ago. And I’m not gonna do this. I’m not gonna hang our marriage on them so they can watch us hate each other and fight and destroy each other. I won’t do it. I don’t hate you, carly. I miss you. You missed nina, son– no. Oh, be honest. L-let’s make this about you and me. You always got to pick a-a bad guy. I don’t want — let’s forget the bad guy. I didn’t have to look far. She was laying in bed right next to you 20 minutes ago. That was a mistake. I wish it never happened. Right. Just like you wish nixon falls never happened? Yeah. Those are feelings I don’t want to have, carly. I didn’t seek to have these feelings. I can’t just wish them out of existence! It’s gonna take time. Time? Okay. So you want me to give you… the time that you refuse to give me? Now, I get having feelings that you don’t want to have, sonny, because after seeing you in bed with nina, I got plenty. Thanks to you.


It’s true. I was never even pregnant. For a second, I thought I might be, but I was wrong. You really had me going. If I couldn’t convince you, how could I convince valentin, how could I get my elq shares back? Mm-hmm. You made me believe that I was a grandfather just to get those damn shares. I didn’t do it for the shares, dad. I did it for you! To fix our relationship. But then valentin made it perfectly clear that he was not gonna hand over those shares without the baby. And that’s when I learned about maxie’s situation with peter.

[ Sighs ] And you realized that you and maxie could help each other. And it worked. Till it didn’T. The charade went too long. We didn’t know if peter was dead or alive, dad. Maxie didn’t want to take a chance that peter might return, which he did. It was a total nightmare. I lost the shares. Now bailey’s gone. And now you and… I’m sorry I failed you again, dad. You must hate me. I coul d never hate you,brook lynn. You’re just disappointed and embarrassed.

[ Sighs ] I fell in love with my granddaughter. And now I don’t have one. And I never did. I won’t lie. I’m disappointed. And hurt. And a few other things.

[ Sighs ] But… I’m also proud of you. Prouder than I have ever been. I’m gonna go see if I can get an update on mac. Did you want to finish that conversation? Yeah, I promise it’s not gonna — it’s not gonna be more than a minute. Um… I-I just wanted to say that if, uh… if things, uh, between us felt kind of confused or — or undefined since I’ve been back, that’s, uh… that’s on me. A-and don’t get me wrong. I-I’m so thrilled to be home. I really am, but, um… I guess just after all the euphoria kind of wound down and all the reunions were over, I just — I wanted to snap back to my old life, only to find that everybody else had kind of moved on. I was kind of grasping at something familiar, except… …she’s out of reach. We’ll go straight up, see mac, alright? Okay. Doing okay? Yeah.

[ Elevator bell dings ] You know, um… I’ll catch up with you guys, okay? Okay. Thanks, dante. Yeah. So I’m — I just… I really wanted to say that I’m so sorry that if I muddied up your relationship with — with dante, because I’m — I’m so happy for you, sam. I’m happy for you and — and for dante. And — and that’s what I wanted to say. Thank you. I mean, you still are family, drew, aren’t you? You can count on that. You good? Yeah, yeah, I am. Thanks. Keep it that way. She needs you. Don’t do that. You don’t want the marriage to be over. I got — we can start over. I got some rings right here. One ’cause I replaced the one that I lost, and then I got another matching — those rings don’t change anything. Yeah, it does ch– don’t — don’t — it was a mistake. Don’t make it worse than it is. Was it a mistake? Was it a mistake? Or was it something that you wanted ever since you came back from nixon falls? When I came back from nixon falls, I wanted you because I love you, and I did it for you. No, sonny, if this is love, you need to save it for nina. I want you, carly. You want us both. That’s what — you want us both! Yeah, and no amount of time is gonna change that. And you can’t have us both, and you can’t make a choice, so I’m making the choice. Wait, wait. I’m choosing myself. I’m choosing myself. No, no, no. No. Goodbye. Goodbye, sonny. Laura, is there any update on mac? He hasn’t regained consciousness yet, but, uh, kevin’s in there, robert’s in there, your mom’s in there, too. Okay, thanks. I hope there’s room for one more. Yes. Thank god you’re here. So, I-I-I’ve had a thought about peter, and I want to run it by you. Of course. But I want to bring dante into the conversation. He’s downstairs. Alright, let me just tell kevin that I’m stepping away. I want you to know that I will always love you. Even though it’s not always easy. [ Laughs ] And even though I sometimes want to stop loving you, and god knows I’ve tried. I can’t, because you’re it for me. You are. You have been from the beginning, and you will be to the end.

[ Sighs ]

[ Water splashes ] Every time I needed you when I was growing up, you were there for me. When we lost georgie and nathan, and even when I needed a hero, you brought frisco home to me. Except you were my hero the whole time. So don’t go ruining your winning streak. We need you to come back to us.

[ Felicia gasps ] Hi! [ Chuckles ]


You can just ask me. I know youwant to ask me if I’m okay. Why would I ask you when you’re just gonna tell me everything is fine. Everything is fine. See? How about you and drew? It looked like it was pretty intense over there. Everything cool? And look, it’s — it’s none of my business. No, uh, actually, it’s all of your — your business. And I wouldn’t say cool. That’s — that’s not what’s going on. I would say…clear. Clear is more appropriate. Everything’s clear between me and drew. I’m sorry. Come on. Don’t be.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Anna: I mean, as horrible as it is that peter has the baby, it has given us an advantage that we we wouldn’t have otherwise, which is that, um, it’s gonna be easiest for us to… go. Thanks. Hey. Be careful, okay? Anything for you. Michael? Sorry to disappoint. Britt. Britt, I’m trying to get ahold of you and aunt liesl. Can you give me a call as soon as you get this? It’s important. You’re proud of me? Yes. You risked so much in order to protect maxie and her baby. It didn’t start for all these altruistic reasons, dad. Still, you kept up the charade long after those elq shares were lost to you. Sweetheart. You protected bailey — louise — at great personal risk to yourself. And I am in awe of you. You’re not mad at me? Even a little bit? Scared, maybe. Of what the truth is doing to you now. I sa w you fall in love withthat baby, and now she’s gone. If anything happens to her, I will kill peter with my bare hands. No, no, no, no. Listen to me. Listen to me. She will come home safely. No. How do you know? I know that because she has the strength of two mothers behind her. Mac is awake and more or less lucid. Can we see him? Just don’t tire him out. Hello, love. Well, little brother, how does it feel to have all these people waxing lyrical about their love and affection for you while you hover between life and death? I believe the psychiatric term is “drama queen.”

[ Laughter ] How long are you gonna make us wait on you hand and foot? Breakfast in bed. Partner?

[ Robert chuckles ] Oh. Dante? I check him out of hospital already. And as for peter august, he’s the subject of a police manhunt. By the time you’re done with your little vacay, peter will be back in custody. And everyone will be back where they belong. I just was explaining to laura that peter is gonna need help getting away. And there’s one person in this town who’s been willing to help peter in the past. Victor cassadine. You see? That wasn’t so hard, was it? Alright. You got everything you wanted. Now call off your men. In a moment. Aah!

[ Groans ] And that concludes our bargain. Here’s to port charles’ first good night’s sleep in four long years.

[ Laughs ] Bad idea. Why? You kill me, and your granddaughter charlotte dies, too, victor.
