Ridge: Good morning.

Taylor: You’re still here. It wasn’t a dream. You came home.

Thomas: Hey!

Steffy: Hey. Keep your voice down.

Thomas: Because the kids are asleep, or because dad’s car is still in the driveway?

Steffy: So observant. The latter.

Thomas: Really? Dad never left?

Steffy: Mom and dad are together as we speak.

Thomas: That is what I’m talkin’ about! Whoo!

Steffy: Oh, my god, you’re so aggressive.

Thomas: Sorry.

Hope: Hello? Mom.

Brooke: I’m alone, honey. Come on in.

Hope: Ridge?

Brooke: No…

Hope: What does that mean?

Brooke: Ridge didn’t come home last night.

Thomas: I was afraid to trust it, you know? I mean, I know dad said that he was back with us. And I kept brooke away. In person and by phone. But, um…you know how– how resourceful brooke can be when it comes to dad?

Steffy: Yeah, but you couldn’t be sure if brooke had gotten to him somehow, changed his mind.

Thomas: Obviously, she didn’t change his mind, ’cause his car is still parked right out front.

Steffy: We don’t know what’s going on, but all I do know is mom and dad were in her bedroom last night and we haven’t seen them since.

Hope: Mom, I’m so sorry. I don’t know what to say.

Brooke: Well, I don’t know what to think. I mean, I do, but I hate this.

Hope: Well, maybe it’s not what you’re thinking. Maybe ridge just needed some more time to cool down, so he booked himself into a hotel room. Wouldn’t be the first time.

[Knocking]

Eric: Brooke? Hope, hi. Um, I–I came as soon as I could. What’s wrong? What’s the problem?

Brooke: Oh, eric. You’re my last hope. I so want to believe it’s not true. I’m hoping and praying that you spoke with ridge last night and you can assure me that he’s not where I think he is.

Taylor: I’m having a déj vu moment waking up with you. Like so many mornings before, like no time has passed.

Ridge: It’s familiar to me, too. All of it.

Taylor: So about last night…

Ridge: What about it?

Taylor: It was so, so good kissing you, being in your arms. It–it felt so good. So right. But I–I have to ask you a question.

Ridge: Sure.

Taylor: Mm… any regrets? Listen, I’m done settling. Because this is my secret.

Taylor: So, if we’re being honest, and–and I think we are… a lot changed literally overnight. And I just– I just want to know, do you regret any of this?

Ridge: I–I–I think me sleeping over there was the right choice. And glad we didn’t–

Taylor: Yes. Yes, me– me, too. I didn’t mean that.

Ridge: You want to know if I have regrets. I do. I do have regrets. I regret… that I–I didn’t see what brooke was doing, that she was gonna choose deacon and throw away everything we had. I– I regret that. But I don’t regret being here with you. This beautiful, amazing, honest, giving woman who’s always been there for me, has always wanted the best for me. So, I’m gonna focus on that.

Taylor: I like the way you think.

Ridge: Hmm.

Taylor: I’m sure steffy and thomas are wondering what we’re doing. They want this so bad.

Ridge: They do? They mention something?

[Taylor laughs]

Taylor: What? You didn’t hear them? I could have sworn that–

Ridge: Mm-mm. No.

Taylor: They’ve been relentless.

Ridge: Especially steffy. She’s like a dog with a bone, and she…

[Taylor laughs]

Taylor: Just like her grandmother. Stephanie would be so proud.

Ridge: Hey.

Taylor: Hmm?

Ridge: Can I, um…

Taylor: What?

Ridge: Can I buy you a cup of coffee?

Taylor: Yeah. I know a great place.

Eric: Look, I’m sorry. You’ve been doing so well for so long. Uh… are–are you–are you getting help?

Brooke: Yeah, I–I’m going to meetings.

Eric: Uh-huh. You still wanting to drink now?

Brooke: Oh, god. Absolutely not. I mean, look at what it’s done to my life.

Eric: All right. Well, I’m sorry. I’m sorry this has happened. I have not spoken to ridge. I don’t know, uh… I can’t really put your mind at ease as to where he spent the night last night.

Brooke: I think we all know.

Hope: Uh, not necessarily, mom.

Brooke: I defended deacon and ridge reached his limit.

Hope: Mom, frankly, I think that ridge overreacted. You were trying to stop a fight and you were trying to protect both of them.

Eric: I doubt very much that ridge sees it that way.

Brooke: Look, I don’t want to spiral into this negative thinking, but if ridge did spend the night at taylor’s, how am– how am I not supposed to be worried about the future of my marriage?

Thomas: You know, I want to get my hopes up, but I don’t want to get my hopes up. Mom being a shrink and all, she probably decided, “let’s talk about our feelings,” and then they didn’t reconcile.

Steffy: It would be mom to sacrifice her own happiness if she thought dad had the slightest amount of doubt in his mind.

Thomas: It’s really quiet. Where are the kids?

Steffy: Oh, finn took kelly and hayes out to make sure they didn’t disturb mom and dad.

Thomas: Smart.

Steffy: I don’t want to jeopardize anything getting in the way from mom and dad having a moment like this. This could be huge for our family.

Thomas: Yeah, like a game changer.

Steffy: Our parents back together? We’ve been wanting this, like, our entire liv–

Taylor: Good morning.

Thomas: We certainly hope so.

Ridge: Hey, good morning.

Thomas: Hi!

Steffy: Hi.

Taylor: Your dad’s home.

Steffy: Oh, mom.

Ridge: Come here. It’s good to see you.

Thomas: You, too! Aw.

With microban 24,

just one spray,

Brooke: If I was just able to talk to ridge, I think could’ve gotten through to him.

Hope: Still can’t believe that thomas wouldn’t even let you inside.

Eric: And he confiscated ridge’s phone so that he couldn’t get any messages or texts from you?

Brooke: Thomas and steffy are doing their best to push their parents together again.

Eric: Well, I don’t condone their tactics, but I do understand what they want.

Brooke: Yeah, well… except for one tiny detail: Ridge and I are married. We are husband and wife. And ridge loves me. I know he does.

Hope: Of course he does.

Eric: No one is disputing that.

Brooke: I know, and everything just spiraled out of control that night ’cause of that one stupid, destructive decision. Why did I drink? You could see the domino effect. And then when I explained it all to ridge, he said that he loved me and that we could work it all out. And then, I–I defended deacon!

Hope: Because ridge was beating him up.

Eric: You tried to stop it. Anybody would have done that.

Brooke: I know. But that was the last straw for ridge. But I’m not gonna give up.

[Voicemail tone] Ridge. Hi. I’m sorry for everything that’s happened. I know I let you down again, and I just… want a chance to make things right. So, if you would just come home and be here with me, and we can– we can talk about it.

Steffy: I can’t believe it. Seeing the two of you together.

Thomas: Yeah, you know, I– I gotta say, I was hopeful, but I never actually thought this was gonna happen.

Taylor: I didn’t either.

Steffy: I kept remembering what it was like when we were a family, you know? Witnessing the two of you. You know, the love between you two was so inspiring. Dad, you’re not wearing your wedding band?

Ridge: I’m going to go talk to brooke.

Taylor: Good idea.

Ridge: Anybody seen my phone?

Taylor: No.

Steffy: Uh, maybe you left it upstairs in mom’s bedroom.

Ridge: I don’t think so.

Thomas: Uh, here it is.

Ridge: Oh, good. Thanks.

Thomas: Yeah.

Ridge: Oh, boy.

Taylor: I can only guess.

Ridge: Uh, I gotta go see her face to face.

Steffy: Are you sure?

Ridge: Steffy, please.

Steffy: She’s just gonna turn on the waterworks and have so many excuses. This is where you belong.

Ridge: And I’ll be back. See ya.

Thomas: Bye, dad.

Ridge: Love you, guys.

Thomas: Love you.

Taylor: Steffy, your dad is just doing what he has to do. It’ll be fine.

Steffy: I hope you’re right.

Taylor: Hey. Come here. Goal!

Steffy: Was there anything we could’ve done to keep dad here?

Thomas: Stolen his car key?

Steffy: Why didn’t you think of that sooner?

Taylor: No. A face to face with brooke can’t be avoided. Some things have to happen face to face, and ending a marriage is one of those things.

Steffy: You really think dad’s going to do that?

Taylor: That’s his intention.

Thomas: Look, I–I’m sure that that is true. I am. But historically, brooke has had the ability to reel dad back in over and over again, no matter what she’s done, no matter how bad she’s hurt him.

Steffy: You should just go there. Stake your claim. Stop being polite.

Taylor: I–I’m not gonna do that.

Thomas: I don’t know. I think I–I have to agree with steffy here. It might be a good idea to go to brooke and establish some ground rules from the beginning.

Taylor: Oh, god, I don’t know. I mean, if I am 100% honest, I guess I could say that sure, I’m concerned about brooke. But really, I am–I am trusting that what we shared together was real–all of us–and– oh, gosh.

Steffy: Mom, there is no doubt in my mind that you two belong together.

Thomas: Yeah, absolutely.

Steffy: Yeah. After all this time, we deserve this. We need to be a family again. And I honestly believe this is the end for dad and brooke.

After all of these years

the laughs and the tears

it’s still you and me here

making destiny appear

after all of these years

the laughs and the tears

it’s still you and me here

making destiny appear

[Humming]

[Birds cawing]

[Door opening]

Brooke: Oh. Ridge. You’re home. Oh, ridge. Oh, thank you for coming back. I am–I am sorry. I am–I am so sorry to have betrayed your trust and I never meant for that to happen. I mean, you know if I was sober that never would’ve happened. Kissing deacon, that is– that’S… unthinkable.

Ridge: Yeah. Until it isn’T.

Brooke: But it was the alcohol. I mean, you said that you understood that, right? You told me that you loved me. I know because I hear those words in my head. You said that we could work through this.

Ridge: I also told you to keep that guy out of our lives. Did you hear that?

Brooke: And I’m sorry. I mean, I was just trying to support my daughter. It was so strange, everything that happened. I mean, first you calling and saying that you weren’t gonna make it home because of the storm. And me, with this inexplicable urge to drink. And then deacon coming back to find his phone. It’s just such a strange series of events that occurred. It’s unpredictable. It’s–

Ridge: That’s–no, yeah, that’s–that’s unpredictable, but not–not what happened. Because I told you, you let that man into your life, someone’s gonna get hurt. And we did. When it was all said and done, you defended him.

Brooke: No, no, that’s not what happened.

Ridge: That’s exactly what happened.

Brooke: I know you went to steffy’S. I came to look for you. I wanted to talk. And thomas was outside and he wouldn’t let me go near the house. I know he was just trying to be protective. But what happened? I mean, did you stay there? Did you sleep on the couch?

Ridge: I stayed there.

Brooke: I know that thomas and steffy and taylor were probably trying to make it sound like you belong there. But you don’T. You belong here. With me.

[Ridge scoffs] Ridge, we love each other. We said vows to each other. We promised that we would be there for one another for the rest of our lives. And that’s exactly what we’re going to do. Where’s your ring? Why aren’t you wearing it? What happened last night? Please don’t tell me you’re giving up on this, ridge. I love you so much. Just tell me you love me, too.

Interview with Tommy Davidson

TV Interview!

Tommy Davidson

Interview with Tommy Davidson of “The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder” on Disney+ by Suzanne 2/15/22

It was a lot of fun to speak to Tommy! Not just because I’m so familiar with his earlier work, but because he’s just a funny guy who frequently breaks into funny voices. We definitely bonded over growing up in the 70’s, watching cartoons.

Suzanne: Can you tell us how “The Proud Family” reboot came about?

Tommy: It came about [from] a phone call, and it was a phone call that took about fifteen years to get made. All of a sudden, I get a phone call from Ralph Farquhar and Bruce Smith. If they’re calling me, I know it’s “The Proud Family”. We were down for 15 years; we were up for for six, and here, we get an opportunity to do something so beautiful, again. I get this call, and I’m going, “Are you kidding me?” And they’re like, “We’re not kidding you, man. We’re not kidding you.” So, of course, I said “Yes.” We all said, “Yes.” We all met over at Disney Studios, all the actors that were in it, who we love so much, and the new ones. We all met over there at Disney Studios and just laid out our voices just to get everything back into balance. It was the same feeling. It was the same feeling, but better, because now we’ve got new adults. We got a whole world of kids that are now 29-30. We got a whole new world of kids in a new world that we have, an animated series that deals with everything that’s in real time in this real world, and it’s still just for the kids.

Suzanne: Great, and which network is it on, and how many episodes are there?

Tommy: It’s actually on Disney Plus.

Suzanne: Disney plus, okay.

Tommy: Yeah, it’s actually on Disney Plus.

Suzanne: And how many episodes are there?

Tommy: You know what? I don’t know how many episodes, but it’s enough for us. I believe we’re up to like 20.

Suzanne: Okay, that’s good.

Tommy: I’m glad you asked me, nice and early.

Suzanne: And how much voice work had you done before you did the original Proud Family?

Tommy: Oh, really? Okay, that question. [laughs] Now, you’re going to take me back. Yeah, you’re gonna take me back to my Datsun 610. I’ve been doing voice work ever since I got to Hollywood in ‘87 and was doing voice work, doing dubs for movies. I moved into doing cartoon voices for “Ren & Stimpy” and for “The Simpsons.” I did animated work and would come in and get like thirty bucks per session to cover all of the different voices in all these different cartoons. So, I played character voices. So, the main [one] that I nailed was this one, is The Proud Family.

Suzanne: When you were a kid, were you one of those kids that was always doing silly voices?

Tommy: Not only that, I was the expert at cartoons. I’m one of those kids that – we didn’t have cartoons at nighttime unless it was the holidays, so if we’re seeing a cartoon at night, we’re going, “This is a cartoon that’s on in the nighttime!” because we had to wait for Saturday morning or after school. So, I grew up with all the mainstays. I was there when “Scooby Doo” premiered. I was there when “Hong Kong Phooey” premiered. I grew up on on “The Wacky Races” and “The Pink Panther” and all the Warner Brothers cartoons, all the Hanna-Barbera, from “The Jetsons” all the way through to “Magilla Gorilla.” So, it was like the [unintelligible] and all this, so my whole childhood was enriched by cartoons, and, of course, the main cartoon was “The Jackson Five” cartoon. Jackson Five and “Fat Albert,” because those were the first cartoons that really focused on an African American audience.

Suzanne: I watched those. I’m like two years older than you.

Tommy: Okay, okay.

Suzanne: I grew up with all those, and then sometime during the weekdays in the afternoon, you had the reruns of the old ones, like “Bugs Bunny” and “Road Runner.” All those.

Tommy: Oh, yeah. We know those by heart.

Suzanne: Yeah.

Tommy: We know those so much.

Suzanne: Yeah. And which guest stars were you most happy to see for this new version?

Tommy: Nas X with his really edgy and crazy career, and groundbreaking. It was just good to see him. And the episode is fun. It’s funny, is colorful, and it’s palatable. You know, it’s right on time.

Suzanne: Great. Go back a little bit again. Do you ever still see the people that you worked with on “In Living Color?”

Tommy: Oh yeah, all the time. We pass each other, like not even ships in the night, like on a roller coaster. Vroom. The roller coaster going the other way. “Where you going?” “I’m going to New York.” “I’m going to California.” Vroom. You know, we’re just passing each other. I just ran into Marlon Wayans at a comedy club. I texted everybody yesterday, because it was an article about our halftime Super Bowl special that we did that was groundbreaking. So, everybody texted me back and said “Wow, I didn’t see this.” We still are in tandem.

Suzanne: That’s great. I know they tried to reboot it in 2012. Do you think they’d ever tried to do it again with the some of the original cast, where you do a special or something?

Tommy: Well, that’s one of the things that really rests on Keenan Ivory Wayans who’s really the brainchild and the genius behind this. If he called us right now, we’d all stop and go and do it. It’s like the Avengers. We’re like the Avengers. You know what I mean? We all get in our vehicles and start, you know, dun dun dun [unintelligible] stuff and we all come in. Like the Avengers, we all meet, and there’s the big fella over here, and Captain America over here, and Black Panther over here, and we’re ready for action.

Suzanne: That’s great. Yeah, my husband and I used to watch “In Living Color” every week. We just loved it. So, it’s great to meet you.

Tommy: Yeah, the best. Thank you so much. We changed society more than I thought. I mean, you look at TV now, and what we did now is just a staple. Everything is filled with color. Everything is filled with hip hop. Everything is filled with this progressive kind of comedy. Everything has it, and all of our writers went out into the market and created shows like “Friends” and “Martin.” I mean, you can’t really watch TV without someone from “In Living Color” [either] as a director or writer, someone being right there. I did Cedric the Entertainer’s show the other night, “The Neighborhood,” and lo and behold, one of the executive producers was Keenan’s assistant.

"Strictly Business" DVD cover Suzanne: Wow.

Tommy: I mean, we have deep roots.

Suzanne: We also saw your your movie, “Strictly Business,” and really enjoyed that, and it was a huge hit. I think nowadays they would probably do a sequel or two, right?

Tommy: I would like that. I would really like that, just to see where Bobby and his partner are now. I did that on purpose; I did that movie on purpose. I had a choice to do whatever movie I wanted to do, and I chose that, because I thought it was a good story about just a regular brother from the hood, from the projects in Harlem, who gets with a business grad from Harvard, and they go to a black bank, get a loan, and start their own business, all over a hot chick. I mean, how can you beat that?

Suzanne: Right, and that was very of the time too.

Tommy: Oh, yeah. There was not really a movie like that for us at that time for African Americans, for that spectrum of society. There wasn’t really. So, that was the first one. So many Joseph C. Phillip, Halle Berry and Tommy Davidson in "Strictly Business" promo still CEOs, African American CEOs of companies and business owners, they’d always come to me and say, “When I was a kid,” or “when I was in school, that movie made me want to be in business.”

Suzanne: Wow. That’s great. That’s quite an effect.

Tommy: Yeah.

Suzanne: It’s wonderful. I was watching some of your other interviews. You had quite an interesting personal history growing up. Would you ever consider making that into a movie or a TV series, like Chris Rock did with “Everybody Hates Chris?”

Tommy: I’d like to do something like that, but what I’d like to do in particular is probably do a docu-comedy so that I can cover every aspect of what that brings to bear in reality for me. And the way that society is now, that could make a really, really heavy impact, which is bringing forth the information from what I experienced with the beautiful people that were around me and developed me into this human that I am.

Suzanne: That sounds interesting too, either way. And when people see you, and they recognize you, what do they must recognize you for now?

Tommy: You know, it’s hard, because everybody has a different one. Everybody has something different. So, they’ll recognize me from doing Varnel Hill on “Martin,” or they’ll recognize me from being Oscar Proud on “The Proud Family,” or they’ll recognize me from doing the million talk shows that I do. You can’t tell what movie they’re gonna say they love. You know, “I loved Woo.” “I loved Booty Call.” “I loved Ace Ventura with you and Jim [Carrey].” You know, “I loved Bamboozled with Spike Lee.” You never know. Or there’s somebody who just loved the character that I did on In Living Color, if it’s the simple cook in the back, “Pick it up!” [unintelligible] There’re so many different things, that I’m the lucky one. I’m the lucky one, because I can never really get too down, emotionally, because there’s always somebody coming up to me with a bright face going, “The thing you did with – ” you know, “My grandmother’s right here. She wants to meet you,” or “My cousin’s here; can you meet him?” I always get an uplift.

Suzanne: That must be very rewarding.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, I like to call it “closed-heart surgery”. You know, there’s open-heart surgery where you’ve got to open it up, and you’ve got to get in there. Well, me as a comic traveling on the road, and me doing movies, I can actually affect the heart in a positive way, just right where it is. You know, “closed-heart surgery.”

Suzanne: That’s great. That’s a good phrase. And is there anything else that you’d like to tell us about “The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder?”

Tommy: We’re louder and prouder. We’re going into the new millennium. Penny’s in high school. The father’s going crazy, like I did with my daughters when puberty started kicking in and boys started coming around. I’m like, “What is going on here?” And Oscar is in that state where he’s like, “You can wear that dress, but you’ve got to wear tennis shoes with it!” [laughs] He’s just like, “What are these? What are these, rubber bands?!” and it ends up being – you know what I mean? So, it’s like it’s actually autobiographical for me, too. I have a fifteen year-old. I also have a twenty nine year-old girl. So, raising her, and they’re totally two different generations, but it’s just basic fun. That’s the beautiful thing about it is that with all the complexities in this society, right now, The Proud Family still focuses on simple, all-American ethics. All-American ethics, the kind that I’ve watched on The Brady Bunch or Andy Griffith or The Flintstones or Leave It to Beaver, or Bewitched. Every episode ended up like, “I learned something about being good. I learned about being a good person.”

Suzanne: Yeah, that’s good.

Tommy: I’m glad that’s not out of style.

Suzanne: No, especially not with kid shows.

Tommy: Yeah, right, especially not, yeah.

Suzanne: And do you have any other projects coming up that you can tell us about?

Tommy: Oh, yeah, I just released my first single, called “Sweet Reunion.” You can catch it on YouTube, Apple or Spotify or anywhere. I’m finally getting into the music industry, which I’ve been wanting to do all my life. I’m working with musicians all over the world, and that’s just a beautiful thing. I launched a book, right before the pandemic and during the pandemic, where I got a chance to really talk about my life and my journey and how I came into this world, and that’s a beautiful thing, too. I’m touring with Mike Epps around around the world. I developed my own film and television company. So, we’re getting into developing projects around the industry, and [I have] a little girl, a little ten year-old girl.

Suzanne: You’re busy.

Tommy: My recent production, you know?

Suzanne: And you’re about to go on “The Wendy Williams Show,” right?

Tommy: Oh, yeah. Oh yeah. She’s an old friend. We knew each other before her show, and she’s like me; she’s a loyalist. Like once a friend, you’re a friend. I’ve done her show so many different times, and she’s such a wonderful person and has a lot to offer. She somehow balances gossip with goodness. I don’t know how that’s done, but it’s done

Suzanne: Was that your baby we just heard?

Tommy: Yeah.

Suzanne: Hi. What a cutie. Well, I appreciate you taking the time to talk to me this morning.

Tommy: Thank you. Thank you so much. It’s always a pleasure to be representing in the market where I come from, which is basically the 70s.

Suzanne: Yeah, 70s rule.

Tommy: 70s rule. We got bused together to school and changed everything. So, thank you.

Suzanne: All right. Thank you very much. Talk to you later.

Tommy: You too. Bye.

Disney+ Orders “The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder,” the Long-Awaited Revival of the Groundbreaking Animated Series

February 27, 2020

Bruce W. Smith and Ralph Farquhar Return to Helm All-New Episodes with Original Voice Cast

Disney+ has ordered the long-anticipated revival of the groundbreaking animated series “The Proud Family” which, 18 years after its Disney Channel premiere, is still beloved for its characters, stories and multilayered humor and for its messages about inclusion and cultural diversity in a smart, modern way. The new animated family sitcom “The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder” is currently in production at Disney Television Animation with Academy Award-winning creator/executive producer Bruce W. Smith and executive producer Ralph Farquhar, who led the original series, at the helm, reuniting them with Calvin Brown, Jr. who is co-executive producer and story editor.

All previous seasons of “The Proud Family” are currently available on Disney+.

In a joint statement, Smith and Farquhar said, “In our minds, the show never really went away, as we still had tons of stories left to tell. It’s the perfect time to bring back this show, and we can’t wait to take fans, old and new alike, on this journey with us.”

Picking up the story of its central character Penny Proud, the new series will also include her madcap family: parents Oscar and Trudy, twin siblings BeBe and CeCe, and her grandmother Suga Mama (and Puff!). Of course, it would not be “The Proud Family” without Penny’s loyal crew Dijonay Jones, LaCienega Boulevardez and Zoey Howzer, among others.

Disney+ and Disney Television Animation also released concept art featuring the main characters from the upcoming series.

Reprising their voice roles are: Kyla Pratt as Penny Proud, Tommy Davidson as Oscar Proud, Paula Jai Parker as Trudy Proud, Jo Marie Payton as Suga Mama, Karen Malina White as Dijonay Jones, Soleil Moon Frye as Zoey Howzer and Alisa Reyes as LaCienega Boulevardez. Cedric the Entertainer will also return as Uncle Bobby Proud.

“The show’s humor and relatable stories are as relevant with audiences today as ever,” said Agnes Chu, senior vice president, Content, Disney+. “Our audiences have loved rediscovering their favorite episodes of ‘The Proud Family,’ and we’re excited Bruce, Ralph, Calvin, and the returning cast are creating new stories for their new home on Disney+.”

Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer, Disney Channels Worldwide, said, “The genius of the original ‘Proud Family’ series was that, under the guise of a family comedy, it provided a brilliant social commentary on our life and times. With this new series, Bruce and Ralph will once again challenge everyone to think differently about the world we share.”

Phyllis: Hey! Twice in one day — to what do I owe the honor?

Jack: I have a lunch meeting. I’m a little bit early.

Phyllis: Ah, do you have a sec?

Jack: Yeah, sure, why?

Phyllis: Okay, um, well, it’s regarding those texts that you’re getting. Um…I just want you to know that I did a little digging, and, you know, I love a good mystery — you know that, right?

Jack: A little digging — online, you mean?

Phyllis: Well, I mean, other resources as well. We won’t get into that. Anyway, you know the address that’s on the texts, right? I found out who owns that house. I have a screenshot. Would you like to see it?

Jack: Yes.

Phyllis: Okay. Oh, okay, one sec, one sec.

Jack: Yeah, got it.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Phyllis: Hey, sweetie.

Summer: Hi, mom.

Tessa: Okay, picture this — a dude ranch in colorado, way up in the hills, wide open spaces, we are on horseback.

Mariah: In wedding gowns?

Tessa: Yeah, why not? Sidesaddle. We’ll see our vows as the sun goes down and literally ride off into the sunset.

Mariah: And miss our own wedding reception? Are you out of your mind?

Tessa: Okay, I didn’t think of that, but I thought we were brainstorming. No bad ideas, remember?

Mariah: Yeah, I know, I know, but there is such a thing as setting limits and an eensy, teensy little thing called the budget.

Tessa: Ugh, spoilsport.

Mariah: Plus, I want to have my two feet set firmly on the ground when I pledge my undying love for you.

Tessa: Ugh! There goes my hot-air balloon idea.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ] Look, as romantic as all of these ideas are, we really need to get serious because april is right around the corner, and if we don’t book a venue, we’re gonna have to push back the date.

Tessa: Nope, forget it, because I can’t wait that long to be your wife.

Mariah: You know…one day, I may get tired of hearing you say that, but today is not that day. This is happening.

Amanda: When are you leaving for the hospital?

Devon: Um, I’m gonna leave soon. Gonna meet abby and chance at their place so we can all ride together and be with dominic.

Amanda: Are you — are you sure that you don’t want me to come with you? Because I planned to go, and this doesn’t feel right, me just letting you go on your own.

Devon: No, it’s completely fine. I appreciate you being there when they took my bone marrow. Okay? Today is just the doctors transferring my cells to dominic through an iv, so it’s, you know, as far as miracles go, it’s pretty low-key.

Amanda: You’re right. The real miracle was that you were a perfect match for dom. Now he has the best odds of recovery.

Devon: That’s right, that’s right. Couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. But you have a lot going on today yourself. You’re closing your law practice to go work for lily. You don’t need to take time away from that.

Amanda: No, I don’t need to, but I’m more than willing to.

Devon: I appreciate that, i do, but abby and chance are gonna be there, so I won’t be alone.

Amanda: That’s true.

Devon: Yeah, and, you know, the real test isn’t today. It’s how dominic responds to the transplant over the next few weeks.

Amanda: And I hope you know i will support you, no matter what happens.

Chance: Hey. How’s he doing?

Abby: The same. Breaks my heart to see him like this. He’s so tired and listless. He used to wake up so bright-eyed and full of energy. The difference is stark.

Chance: Well, we know what’s wrong, and we’re gonna treat it now before anything gets worse.

Abby: Yeah. Just have to pray that the bone marrow transplant will be a success. You know, it’s gonna be kind of awkward explaining to our families why we didn’t tell them about all of this.

Chance: Don’t worry about that. They’ll understand, I promise. We got the situation under control, and there’s nothing more that they can do. So why worry them?

Abby: So how are you doing?

Chance: I’m fine. Abby, I’m fine, really. Don’t worry about me.

Abby: Chance, come on. We’ve been over this. I don’t want empty reassurances that you’re okay. I want the truth. I just heard something amazing!

Phyllis: Hey, there’s someone here you might know.

Jack: Salve, signora.

Summer: Jack, aw, hi! It’s so good to see you.

Jack: Right back at you.

Summer: Shoot, kyle just took harrison to the park, or I would put them on for you.

Jack: That’s okay. You give them my love. I don’t want to hijack your call with your mom, and I got a meeting to get to. You take care now.

Summer: You too. I miss you.

Jack: Miss you, too. I’ll check in with you later.

Phyllis: Okay.

Jack: Trace!

Traci: Jack, I didn’t know we were going to the same place. You didn’t say anything about it at breakfast. Uh, maybe it isn’t any of my business.

Jack: We’ve been over this. Phyllis and I are just friends.

Traci: If you say so, jack.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Jack: Excuse me.

Traci: [ Chuckles ] What’s wrong?

Jack: Uh, nothing for you to worry about. You’d get your writer’s imagination working on this, like you do with friends that I’m visiting.

Traci: [ Chuckles ] Okay. You keep telling yourself that.

Jack: What if our positions were reversed? What if every time you were planning a trip to new york to meet your publisher, I assumed there was some kind of romantic tryst going on?

Traci: And who’s to say you would be wrong?

Jack: Wait, is there a chance that that’s actually —

Traci: Oh, my, will you just look at the time? I’m going to be late for my massage. We’ll see you later.

[ Laughs ]

Amanda: Promise you’ll call if you need anything.

Devon: Yeah, of course i will. And I forgot to tell you that moses is gonna be coming home late tonight ’cause he’s hanging out with faith.

Amanda: Yeah. You know, when dominic’s home with his nurse, don’t you think that moses will have a few questions?

Devon: Yeah, he might.

Amanda: Yeah, and are you gonna tell your brother about dom’s illness?

Devon: Uh, I don’t think so. I think that — or I’m hoping that dominic’s be healthy by the time he asks any questions, and he won’t have anything to be concerned about.

Amanda: Yeah, I didn’t tell my sister.

Devon: Good.

Amanda: She’s so excited about this move to chancellor that I want her to enjoy it, you know? I don’t want to give her anything new to worry about.

Devon: Yeah, of course, and you need to enjoy it too. Become the chief legal officer is a very big accomplishment that we will celebrate soon.

Amanda: Yeah, well, I am looking forward to that. But first things first, you need to go take care of your son.

Devon: Yes, ma’am. Love you.

Amanda: You too.

Abby: You know, I was really happy that you shared with me what happened at the stakeout with rey. I hope you don’t regret doing that.

Chance: Oh, no. No, I don’T. That really helped me, talking about that with you, it did.

Abby: I think I understand why you’ve had such a hard time opening up to me about all of this. ‘Cause you’ve always been so strong, the guy who saves the day, and having an experience where people are counting on you and you froze, I mean, that must have been a shock to your system.

Chance: You know what? I just don’t think this is the right time to talk about this. I mean, today should be about dominic, right?

Abby: Babe, stop. Please. Look, I — if we keep delaying this conversation, there’s always gonna be a reason not to discuss it. Come sit down. I think you feel like if you just ignore it, it’s just gonna go away, but it doesn’t work like that.

Chance: I know, I know, and I mean what I said. It helped to talk to you about that. It really did. I — I mean, it took some pressure off of me, I promise.

Abby: Chance, I am always gonna be here for you, always, and if I’m asking you to be honest with me, then I have to do the same.

Chance: What do you mean?

Abby: I really think that you need to see someone. You need to talk to someone, a specialist, someone who specializes in helping people who are struggling with the same things you are. Look at dominic. He was sick, and we took him to a doctor — a specialist who diagnosed him and found a treatment plan for him, something that’s gonna make him better. Obviously, there is no shame in helping our son, so why would your situation be any different? Chance, will you please just think about it?

Chance: I will. Okay, I will. I’m gonna get some more coffee.

Abby: [ Sighs ] I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Sharon: We need to finalize all the details for your school trips.

Faith: I’m starting to get excited.

Sharon: Me too. I was thinking, since university of michigan is your top choice, we should just start at ann arbor, and then we’ll head to chicago and check out the schools there.

Nick: Ann arbor, huh? Getting ready for the big college trip?

Faith: We are trying to nail down what campuses are most important for me to visit.

Noah: Uh-oh, baby bird’s getting ready to fly the next. You ready for that?

Sharon: Um, your sister spent an entire semester in boarding school, remember? And we all managed just fine. I’m just excited about all the opportunities that she has. She’s got some great schools on her list. You know, I think that the hardest thing is gonna be choosing which one to go to.

Faith: You never know. The schools might narrow it down for me by rejecting my applications.

Nick: Come on, kid, you have really picked up your grades, your test scores are awesome.

Sharon: And your essays were fantastic.

Nick: Any school would love to have you. You’re gonna have lots of options.

Noah: Geez, sounds like they can’t wait to get rid of you. Better start packing, kid.

Faith: Yeah, that’s some killer advice, alright, coming from the guy who left london to come back home.

Noah: Hey, I am where I need to be now. But if I had never left genoa city, that — that would’ve been a mistake. And I never would’ve known what else is out there.

Mariah: I know how much you liked the spa when we were staying at the grand phoenix, so…

Tessa: [ Gasps ] Oh, oh! A couple’s massage wedding. The therapists will be our witnesses, and then think what we would save on wedding dresses.

Mariah: Uh, that’s an excellent point.

Tessa: Yeah, and then after the private ceremony, we could put on our robes and our slippers. We’ll take the elevator up to a beautiful champagne luncheon, and then we can take a long afternoon nap. Oh, my god, it would be heaven. We’ll be the most relaxed ones there.

Mariah: Wow. This is the most excited I’ve seen you since we started wedding planning.

Tessa: Uh, yeah, I think i slept on my neck weird, so i heard the word “spa” and I was just off to the races.

Mariah: Yeah, that makes sense. Okay, well, the advantages — it’s close to home, relatively cheap. You know, we could — probably could be booked for april. Disadvantages —

Tessa: It’s not super festive for everyone else.

[ Sighs ] Okay, alright, we can do better.

Mariah: Yeah. Okay, well, why don’t you do me? Plan my ideal wedding.

Tessa: Hmm, okay. Well, since you are the sentimental softie…

Mariah: Incorrect.

Tessa: Mnh-mnh, no, no. You are all about kittens and rainbows and —

Mariah: You are mistaken.

[ Chuckles ]

Tessa: Rainbows. That’s it. San francisco. We’ll go back to the place where it all started, when you kissed me, which was a surprise, by the way.

Mariah: Destination wedding.

Tessa: Yeah, I mean, we could go back, charter a cable car, get married while it runs around the city. I mean, the views would be phenomenal. And then we could have a reception by the sea.

Mariah: Oh, do you remember that place that we went to — fisherman’s wharf? It had the beautiful windows.

Tessa: Oh, yes, and the exceptional wine list. Yes.

Mariah: [ Laughs ] I like this idea. I like the idea of going back to the beginning. Our beginning, you know? Taking something that was confusing and making it joyful.

Tessa: I’m liking this idea a lot.

Mariah: Okay, well, I have an even better one.

Tessa: Oh.

Mariah: Okay, the ideal wedding would have to center around music for you, right? So why don’t we — hear me out — do dollywood? I mean, you were in singer/songwriter heaven when we went there before.

Tessa: I mean, I never thought of it as a venue. But a wedding in the great smoky mountains? I mean, it would be gorgeous.

Mariah: Yeah.

Tessa: Do you think they even do weddings?

Mariah: There’s one way to find out.

Tessa: Let’s make some calls.

Mariah: Okay.

Devon: So how’s dominic doing?

Abby: The same, but he will be on the road to recovery soon.

Devon: Yeah, I hope so.

Abby: How are you feeling after your bone marrow donation?

Devon: I’m feeling okay. I am. It’s a little sore where they harvested the cells, but I’m alright.

Chance: That’s good to hear.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: Well, I am gonna go get dominic all bundled up. Be right back.

Devon: Alright.

Chance: Hey, thanks again for getting everything set up here, man. All the medical equipment, air filtration, around-the-clock nurse, I mean, it’s very kind of you.

Devon: Yeah, absolutely. I’d rather have him recover here at home than in a hospital, you know what I mean? Whatever can make his life easier right now.

Chance: Well, you know, it means a lot to us.

Devon: Don’t mention it.

Chance: We’re really grateful for you, man, really. You were able to give dominic life, and, well, now you helped save his life.

Devon: Well, I didn’t do anything that you and abby wouldn’t have done yourselves, you know that. And my bone marrow being a match to dominic, it was just the luck of the draw, man.

Phyllis: So I have been annoying everyone by showing them my pictures from milan of the two of us and you and harrison.

Summer: Okay, okay, enough small talk. You know why I’m calling you, and I’m hoping — oh, I’m hoping that you’re ready to accept my job offer and join us here in milan.

Phyllis: Um, listen, I want to thank you for offering me this job, and I’ve given it serious consideration.

Summer: But…you’re turning me down?

Phyllis: Yeah, baby, I’m turning you down. Listen, I thought about it long and hard, and I realized, to my surprise, that [Sighs] Genoa city’s home. It’s home. And I put down roots here. I can’t deny that. And I have the hotel, and I do have friends here. I actually do have friends. And it just — it wouldn’t feel right leaving right now.

Summer: Well, I won’t deny I’m disappointed.

Phyllis: I know. But I want to thank you for offering me the job. That was so amazing of you, and it would’ve been great living in milan and working alongside you, seeing you every day, but it’s just not right for me. At least not now in my life.

Summer: Well, thank you for explaining everything so clearly. It does make sense, what you’re saying. Um…but still, there’s just — there’s one question that I have to ask you.

Phyllis: You can ask me anything. Ask me anything.

Summer: Well, I noticed that you didn’t mention jack, so how much did he really factor into your decision? Entresto is the number one heart failure brand

Phyllis: I don’t know why you’re asking me this.

Summer: Well, we had some conversations about jack while you were here in milan, and kyle said that he had conversations with jack about you while he was here on business. So I can’t help wondering.

Phyllis: Okay, listen, you have the wrong idea. Okay? Jack and I are friends. We are just friends. And he’s amazing, yes. I mean, he helped me so much during the break-up with your father. Ugh, I believe in him, I trust him, and, oh, come on. Summer, I just went through a horrible break-up with your dad. You think I’m gonna jump into another relationship?

Summer: I didn’t mean to sound judgy. Okay, jack is a great guy. You have a history. And I know that you both really care about each other.

Phyllis: Yes, yes, we care about each other, but that’s it. I mean, I trust him, I believe in him, and…listen. You know, no matter how many times I screw up, jack always forgives me, you know that? Always forgives me. And no matter what happens to me, bad or good, do you know who I go to to tell? I go to jack.

Summer: Mom.

Phyllis: What?

Summer: Are you positive it isn’t love? Because sure sounds like it is.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Listen, missy. Jack is not the reason I turned down your job offer, and that’s the bottom line. Are you satisfied?

Summer: Okay, I will admit

[Sighs] I definitely got my hopes up about you moving here, but I know it’s a really big decision, so I understand why you’re staying put. We’re just gonna have to visit each other more often, I guess.

Phyllis: Definitely. You know what? Next time, you come here, ’cause I just went to you. But let’s wait until the spring, when it’s warm.

Summer: Agreed. Well, hey, I got to get going. It’s a really busy day over here, so I will talk to you again soon.

Phyllis: Definitely. I love you, supergirl.

Summer: I love you, too.

Sharon: Okay, so university of chicago and then northwestern and then we’ll head to indiana and check out notre dame.

Faith: In case I haven’t said this enough, thank you so much for doing this.

Sharon: You’re so welcome. And so you know, I’m really looking forward to making these trips, too. Special time with my girl — what could be more fun that that?

Faith: [ Chuckles ]

Sharon: And now I have my answer.

[ Chuckles ] Hi, moses.

Faith: I’ll pull together the info for the campus tours.

Sharon: Alright, as soon as i get it, I’m gonna make the travel plans. Moses, you want something to drink?

Moses: Yeah, hot cider?

Faith: Yum. Two, please.

Sharon: Coming up. Do you guys need a refill?

Nick: I’m good, thanks.

Noah: Yeah, I’ll take another hit.

Sharon: You got it.

Noah: Hey, mom, has faith talked to you about moses? Like, are they applying to the same schools or…?

Nick: That’s a good question. I’m very curious about that myself.

Sharon: Okay, she has mentioned that he’s mostly applying to schools in the northeast because that’s where his mom lives — new york.

Nick: Have you had the talk with her, you know, about how much her boyfriend should or shouldn’t factor into this very important decision?

Sharon: I haven’t felt the need to do that yet. Faith is applying to a lot of schools. She has no idea where she’s gonna be accepted, and who knows where things will be between her and moses months from now?

Faith: So are you gonna be visiting any campuses?

Moses: Yeah, my mom took me to a few when I was a sophomore, back when I was still thinking about med school.

Faith: So what’s your top choice?

Moses: Well, that may be changing. Since I’m thinking about doing career, hopefully with devon, I might stay local and go to gcu.

Faith: I think that might be the best choice for me, too.

Devon: Chance, how you doing, man? I know that you were struggling a bit before dominic got sick.

Chance: Yeah, I’m good. I’m great, yeah. Dominic’s my focus now, right?

Devon: Absolutely, yeah. He is. I imagine, though, that when he starts getting better, you’ll be able to focus a little more on your, you know, recovery and…

Chance: Sure, yeah, sure. Lot to look forward to.

Devon: Yeah. I remember after hilary and — and neil passed away, I…thought that I could get through it all on my own, and i didn’t want to listen to anybody’s advice around me. Um…and that worked out so well that I started having panic attacks. Which weren’t fun at all. You can ask abby about it. I had one at the opening of the grand phoenix. And after a while, I got so tired of feeling so worn down, that I reached out and I got the help that I needed. And it really worked for me. You know, it took a minute, but it was well worth it.

Chance: I’m glad you could turn things around. I’m hoping I can do the same.

Devon: Well, yeah, man, i know you can do the same, and the only reason I’m even bringing this up is just to remind you that you really got to — really got to go after the help. You can’t just sit back and wait for it to come to you. You know? It’s important that you take charge of what’s bothering you in life or it’s gonna take charge of you.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Lactaid is 100% real milk, just without the lactose.

Moses: I’m surprised you’d even consider gcu. I mean, you were all “go, blue” the last time we talked.

Faith: Well, my mom encouraged me that I put it on my list when we first started talking about colleges. She got her degree there, and I’m kind of in the same position as you, hoping to work for my family whenever I graduate, so maybe it is best that I stick around, too, and that way, I can do internships or walk part-time at newman while I’m taking classes.

Moses: Yeah, but the thing is, though…

Faith: What?

Moses: Look, if you get accepted into a big-name college and then turn it down, your family’s probably gonna think it’s because of me, which I bet they’re not gonna be too happy about.

Faith: Wouldn’t have anything to do with you. This is strictly about what’s best for me.

Moses: You can say that, but will they buy it?

Faith: [ Sighs ] It’s all hypothetical. I haven’t made any decisions yet. But practically speaking, it would save us time if we were in the same place, not always flying back and forth to see each other. I mean, best to spend that time studying, right?

Moses: Yeah, I’m not too sure your dad would agree with that plan, but you’ve sure convinced me.

Faith: [ Chuckles ]

Noah: The landscape architect I met with had some incredible ideas. In addition to a playground and a community garden, she also suggested —

Sharon: That’s my phone. I have to take this. Can you hold that thought?

Noah: Yeah.

Sharon: Okay. Hi. I was hoping to hear from you. Rey told me today’s the big day.

Chance: Yeah, yeah, we — we’re at the hospital right now. Dominic’s in the middle of the procedure as we speak.

Sharon: Any word so far?

Chance: Yeah, they say everything’s going well so far.

Sharon: Oh, good. Well, I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

Chance: Thank you. Thank you. We really appreciate that. Uh, so I’m actually calling because I was hoping that you could, um…refer me to a counselor.

Sharon: Well, yeah. I’d be happy to. A few people come to mind, but let me look into it and find out if they’re taking new clients, et cetera.

Chance: Well, thank you, sharon. I really appreciate that. Um, I guess we’ll update you when we get dominic home safe.

Sharon: Perfect.

Chance: We’ll talk to you soon.

Sharon: Thank you for making that call. I know it wasn’t easy for you.

Chance: Probably should’ve made it sooner, right?

Sharon: Well, this is when you were ready.

Devon: Hey, guys, look who i found.

Chance: Hey.

Abby: Hi.

Amanda: Hey. I realized I wasn’t gonna get any work done anyway. I hope you don’t mind.

Abby: Not at all.

Tessa: How is it that every wedding venue we were excited about is booked solid?

Mariah: It’s short notice, but we are not giving up, okay? We just have to think about places that nobody else would think of. So…the athletic club rooftop.

Tessa: In april? Brr.

Mariah: Well, that’s why nobody else would think about it, and devon could set out some heaters, you know, maybe open the pool a little bit early.

Tessa: I mean, it is a meaningful place for us. We had our first real date there.

Mariah: Okay, let’s keep it on the list.

Tessa: Okay. Well, I mean, that does make me think about the concert stage where we officially became teriah.

Mariah: A music festival.

Tessa: [ Gasps ] Ren faire.

Mariah: What does a renaissance faire have to do with our love for each other?

Tessa: Oh, nothing. We would just look really good in the costumes.

Mariah: Okay. Alright, we need to get to this, so here’s what we’re gonna do. We’re gonna think of fun and quirky wedding ideas, just stream-of-consciousness. Let’s do this.

Tessa: Um, a haunted house.

Mariah: Devon’s private jet.

Tessa: Murder mystery wedding.

Mariah: Oh, I like that idea. That would be really fun. Um, what about, like, a beach-front mexican cantina, you know, barefoot in the sand?

Tessa: Ooh, downtown chicago. It could be one of those skyscraper restaurants where you can see all the lights twinkling in the night.

Mariah: Okay. Uh…the art institute.

Tessa: [ Gasps ] The field museum! We could get married next to a dinosaur.

Mariah: Oh, those photos would be so awesome.

[ Sighs ]

Tessa: They’re probably booked, too.

Mariah: What about a mansion in lake geneva? We could do, like, a “great gatsby” theme.

Tessa: Damn it! All of these are really good ideas. Now we have too many.

Mariah: [ Sighs ] We need help. Alice loves the scent of gain so much,

Mariah: So now we’re on overload. You know, there’s just too many good wedding ideas.

Tessa: So we need a little help narrowing things down.

Sharon: Okay, what are your top three or four favorites ideas? Venues and themes.

Mariah: Okay, first idea, one of those big, fancy chicago museums. It’s not too far for people to travel.

Tessa: And we could charter some buses, maybe. It’s a little extravagant.

Mariah: Yeah, but you only get married once, so, you know, why not?

Tessa: And it’s the perfect in-between. It’s a destination, but it’s not super far away.

Mariah: Yeah. Okay, second idea, one of those murder mystery places. Okay? Everybody has fun and the venue takes care of everything.

Tessa: Just a little off the beaten path.

Mariah: And third idea — we throw together a mini music festival. And between devon and tessa’s connections, I mean, I really think we could pull together some outstanding acts.

Tessa: So what do you think?

Sharon: Well, I like the museum idea. I mean, you can’t go wrong with any of those. And like you said, you only live once.

Nick: I’m feeling the murder mystery thing. You know, it’s the perfect amount of quirky, it’s practical. They, like, set up the whole thing for you, right?

Mariah: Yeah.

Moses: If it were up to me, I’d say music festival all the way.

Faith: Yeah, I agree. It’s so you.

[ Both laugh ]

Tessa: Seriously?!

Nick: Whoa, what’s funny?

Mariah: You guys each picked different ideas. How does that help us at all?

Sharon: Well, it’s like you said, they’re all such good ideas. It’s hard to choose.

Mariah: [ Sighs ] Okay, noah, you’re our tiebreaker. What do you think?

Noah: Well, it seems pretty obvious to me what you should do.

Chance: Hey, everything squared?

Abby: Yes, I debriefed the nurse. Dominic is sleeping peacefully. You’d never know what he’s been through today. Just one little bandage.

Devon: Made it easy over the last couple days having so many distractions, you know? Between getting my bone marrow taken and setting up his nursery. I suppose all we can do now is just wait, right?

Chance: Guess so. Well, we will update you guys as much as possible, let you know how he’s doing.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: What is it?

Devon: [ Sighs ] I… it’s — it’s just killing me to think about spending the night away from dominic. I just — I almost wish that I can —

Abby: Okay, wait. You’re not suggesting dom go to your place, are you? I mean, he’s all tucked in. He’s been through so much today. He’s comfortable here.

Devon: No, I know he is. I just —

Amanda: I think what you’re both trying to say is tonight, of all nights, neither one of you want to be separated from your baby.

Jack: Well, I’m glad things are going well across the pond.

Phyllis: Yeah, me too. Had to break it to her that I’m not taking the job in milan. It was hard.

Jack: I’m sure summer was disappointed.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] She was. But she took it well. I’m very proud of her. She is so mature and level-headed. I don’t where she got that.

Jack: Well…[Chuckles] I have never said this to them — they’d take it the wrong way — but I have been dazzled at how well they have taken to parenthood. Every decision they make is based on the family. Harrison is thriving. It’s just all so gratifying.

Phyllis: Yeah, I know what you mean.

Jack: Listen, I got to get back to the office. Before I do, you said you had some information for me about that address you mentioned in the text.

Phyllis: Oh, yeah, I have the screenshot right here. Let me see. Hao nguyen. Does that name mean something to you? You don’t get much time for yourself.

Devon: Yeah, I couldn’t have said that any better myself. Thank you.

Amanda: Of course. And for what it’s worth, i appreciate how you guys are approaching this. Everyone is coming from a place of love and respecting each other’s friendship.

Abby: Look, I understand why you would want to be close to dominic tonight, so why don’t you and amanda stay here tonight? Please, I mean, we have plenty of room.

Chance: That’s perfect. We have so much room. Please, you’re more than welcome.

Devon: I mean, that — that sounds great, yeah. We’ll take you up on that.

Abby: Excellent. That way, dominic will be surrounded by all of his parents.

Amanda: What a lucky little boy.

Faith: You’re going for the music festival — admit it. It’s hip, different.

Noah: Yeah, you’re right. Sounds fun and completely unexpected.

Sharon: Well, so is the museum idea.

Noah: I agree.

Nick: I mean, have you ever been to a murder mystery wedding? I haven’T.

Noah: I have not, but that sounds cool, too.

Tessa: Okay, so which one do you think we should do?

Noah: All of them.

Mariah: Three separate weddings? Yeah, no, we don’t have the budget for that.

Noah: That’s not what i meant. No, what I’m saying is combine all three ideas and any other ideas you may have. You know, make the theme “all of me,” like that old jazz standard, and then if you want to have music or a dinosaur or coney island hot dogs, you can. It’s all part of who you guys are and you accept each other wholeheartedly.

Mariah: Wow. He makes it sound so simple.

Tessa: Because it is. What matters isn’t where we get married or how it looks, it’s a celebration of us, which is wild and unpredictable and all-encompassing.

Mariah: Thank you, noah.

Noah: Any time.

Jack: Hao nguyen is a very common vietnamese name.

Phyllis: Oh, yeah, I know. There are quite a few in los angeles.

Jack: Were you able to discern which one of them owned the property?

Phyllis: No, I didn’t do that yet. Do you know somebody by that name? Because the look on your face when I said it…

Jack: My late wife luan was, uh — was vietnamese.

Phyllis: Oh, keemo’s mother.

Jack: Her maiden name was nguyen. Her father’s name was hao. But it can’t be the same person.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[Laughs] Right inyou, f are you planning a hike? Oh, um, I thought we could go on a walk together, you know, talk some more things out. Ah. What a lovely idea. I’m afraid we’ll have to wait till tomorrow, though. It’s getting dark soon. That’s when the wolves come out. Did you mean to sound so ominous? What am I saying? Of course you did. Okay. The way I see it, I have two options. I can ignore the implied threat, you know, wolves after dark, and keep pretending we’re on this romantic refuge together. Or I can tell you to your face, I plan to escape the first chance I get.

[ Sighs ] Hey! Hey, you guys. What a pleasant surprise. Hi, honey. Leo suggested that we should pick you up so you can join us for a little swim at the lake this evening. A swim? You guys really think it’s warm enough for that? Clearly, you haven’t been outside. Well — we should take advantage of the incredibly warm weather. Uh, alright. I got a couple things to take care of, and then, uh — and then we can go. Be right back. Great. Perfect. Google says heat waves can drive people insane. Wow. Let’s hope this one doesn’t last. You know something, ava? I admire you. Oh. Why do you say that? Well, because even after all the horrible things that spencer did to you, you still encouraged nikolas to mend that relationship. I want what’s best for both of them. So do I. I am also trying to take the high road right now, for spencer’s sake. But I tell ya, if this girl doesn’t show up soon — oh, laura, you’re not — oh, you are. I’m here! And I’m famished. I hope they have the surf and turf tonight. Mmm. Iced tea in winter. Man, it’s so hot, I almost had to wear shorts. It’s wild and a little terrifying. Yeah, well, I know one thing. This weather’s going to give my wardrobe whiplash. They say it’s a temporary warm front, but if it keeps up, I might have to go home and get my summer clothes. Well, we might have to share, because there’s no way I’m going back to the house and risking running into sonny, not after what he did to my mom. Right. How’s that going? It’s horrible. Nina’s a liar, and sonny’S… just as bad. You know, it’d be easy to blame the whole thing on her, but… no one tells sonny what to do. He could have stopped at any time. Instead, he chose to protect nina, and now they’ve blown our family apart. Well, I’m not making excuses, but I’m sure it’s confusing for everyone involved. Sometimes you can’t help caring for someone you probably shouldn’T. Like you with spencer? Father. Your visit wasn’t in my daily horoscope. It’s good to see you haven’t lost your sense of humor. Mm. How are you? Great. The food here leaves much to be desired. The magazine selection is a tad pedestrian, but at least there are… fans in the public rooms. What’s going on in the outside world? Did, uh, I sleep a few months and skip to june? Oh, the outside world is — is just as puzzled as you are. But you’re right. The fans do feel good. I’d like to stay here a while… that is, if you don’t mind. Yeah, there’s a table hereright next to a fan, so, um… would you like to join me? Agent muller: Running title searches for properties in the area of the salt mines. So far, I don’t see anything obvious. It would help to have some names to narrow this down. Okay, try faison’s companies. Maybe one of them owns the property. Okay. Ready when you are. This is — this is taking too long. Every minute counts now. Try eurotech. Hey, man. Look, this is our best option, alright? We all got to just try to chill out a little bit. Yeah, no, I — drew, I get it. The problem is, this guy, this guy, he knows we’re looking for him. He’s been evading us everywhere we look for him. We can’t let him slip through our fingers again. Hey, we’re going to use his arrogance against him this time. He’s overconfident, alright? He thinks he’s so well hidden right now that nobody can find him. He’s going to stay too long. And that’s when we finally get the smug son of a bitch.

you know that all relationshipsare complicated. Friendships included. So are — are we good? 100%! Why do you ask that? I don’t know. It just seems like we haven’t been connecting. Like we haven’t shared as much since… what happened at the cabin. Yeah. There’s something I’ve been keeping from you. There’s something I haven’t told you, either. Ava, how nice to see you. Are — are you joining us? No. No, I-I can’t this time. I-I have an art sale to coordinate. Right. Oh, sounds fun. Good luck with that. Yeah, thank you very much. Have a wonderful time. Mm. I certainly intend to have a wonderful time. I am positively famished. You’re also positively late. Am I? Apologies. In france, we call it le quart

d’heure de politesse. It’s the quarter hour of politeness. It’s so the host has time to compose himself or herself. I’m familiar with the phrase. But the thing is, we’re not in france, and I’m not giving a party. I was left to wait here in a public place. You know what I do when I’m waiting? I check my favorite fashion pages. Don’t you have your phone? Uh, esme, that’s not the point, okay? I’ve held my tongue as long as I possibly can, but now we need to have a serious sit-down, because some things need to change. Nikolas: Do you need anything? I wouldn’t mind knowing what’s going on in port charles aside from the weather. Last I heard, peter august escaped and kidnapped charlotte. Uncle victor rescued her. Have they captured that bastard yet? No hits on eurotech with properties in the region. Um, try vogel industries. Okay. So, both of them were shell companies for the dvx. And I’m just assuming that peter would have access to the holdings, given that he’s faison’s son. Nope, that’s coming up empty. Um… negative on vogel industries. Alright, um, uh, modesto media. Come on, we are wasting time. Can we just try this, please? No, no, modesto media was on peter’s references when he came over to aurora, so definitely try that. Also try properties owned by victor cassadine. Lethe unlimited. L-e-t-h-E. Try that. Okay. Um, nope, you’re right. No holdings whatsoever for modesto media. I’m searching lethe unlimited. No. No. No way in hell. He’s not going to associate himself with victor at this point. He puts himself on one of his properties, he opens himself up to being taken advantage of, sold out by victor. I completely hear you. I understand. I know that they don’t trust each other, but peter has got some leverage over him. That’s why victor kept me on his compound for over two years. Yeah, that is true. And — and victor was instrumental in — in peter’s escape, but, you know, I’m with dante. I do not think peter would include victor in his hideaway. I’ve got something. Peter: Maxie, I’m disappointed. I would have thought you would have kept up the charade for at least 48 hours, maybe even a week or two. This effort was, well, pathetic. You’re right. I’m ashamed of myself. I planned to play that fantasy version of myself you seem to be so fixated on — you know, the one that sees the best in you. But I-I just couldn’t do it anymore. Nope, I don’t want to, because I got what I wanted. My children are safe on the other side of the atlantic, away from you. So no more games. From now on, all you’re going to get from me is the truth. Can you reciprocate? Do you even know what the truth is anymore? Well, you just admitted to lying to my face, and now you want me to be honest with you? It’s the least you could do after the scorched earth you’ve made of my life. You know what? Why don’t we go back to the beginning — to the death of the man I really loved? Nathan west.

Fellas, I’m ready to go. Well, look who we have here. A fun night out with your folks, leo? Leo, you remember your aunt ava, avery’s mom? Uh, we were at her gallery the night that you saw all the photographs of the animals. It’s nice to see you again. Do you have any new animal pictures? You know what? I do not, not since the photo ark exhibit. But I promise I will let you know as soon as I do, okay? Oh, I’m so glad he has fond memories from that night. Yes, me too. The kid practically gave me a coronary running off like that. Sorry, mom. I wanted to see the octopuses.

[ Sighs ] Hey, leo, why don’t we give your mommy and aunt ava just a minute to talk?

[ Chuckles ] Here, let’s go sit over here. Little pitchers have big ears. I didn’t even know that he was listening. He must get that from his father, right? We could never get anything over on julian. Well — but leo is so special. He reminds me of julian in many ways. Well, he’s a little bit of both of us, but also very much his own person. And, uh, turns out… even more special than I knew. What does that mean? Well, you’re his aunt. It’s no secret. Leo was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Oh, olivia, I didn’t know. Wow. How could you know? I didn’t know, and I’m his mother. Is there a problem, laura?

[ Sighs ] The problem is your complete lack of respect for me and my home. If this is about the nail polish and the sofa, I shouldn’t have disregarded your wishes. It — it’s not just that. It’s your sense of entitlement and the way you push back the boundaries. It’s completely unacceptable, especially when it’s in my house. If I had some place else to go, I would. But I understand, laura. When in rome… no, you don’t understand. You don’T. This is not about respecting customs. It’s about respecting people. What you did to ava, that wouldn’t be acceptable in any country, would it? I mean, you get that, right? I regret helping spence terrorize ava, and I promise not to get caught up in anything like that ever again. What about getting caught up with ryan chamberlain? Okay. So, who shares first? All you. Spencer got me a valentine’s day gift. What? Well, I more so got it on valentine’s day. It was really a just-because gift. Okay, well, I’d ask just because why, but let’s put a pin in that for now. What did he get you? Remember that modern artist, richard molyneaux, whose work I was obsessed with? The guy with the squiggles? Yeah, spencer got me a book of those squiggles. See? No big deal. Um, super big deal. He remembered your favorite artist and somehow got a book of his works delivered to you from inside prison. How’d he manage that, by the way? His grandmother. Oh. He had his grandmother, the mayor, deliver his gift. Wow. Well, all that’s missing is an inscription. Stop. What was the inscription? See, this is why I didn’t want to tell you anything. I didn’t want you getting it twisted. Am I, though? Trina, let’s see. So, first, he defends his snake of a girlfriend for basically setting you up, and then he slips you some “just because” gift on the side. So, what are you two again? We’re basically — trina, trina. Just take a minute, think about it, and then open your eyes, because you are nobody’s side piece. Why do truly disgusting people like peter august keep getting away while here I sit? After everything that he’s done, I was hoping that you would tell me that he was dead, not escaped yet again. All indications are that his time is running out. Maybe uncle victor can help find him. He found charlotte after she was abducted. There are limits to what even victor can do. Not that I’ve seen. Look. I’m glad that you are being protected. But? You don’t know victor like I do. Oh, of course. Pile on with the haters. Uncle victor is one of the few people who have actually come through for me. So if you’re going to badmouth him, you can leave, and I’ll go back to my cell. Our flight gave me lots of time to think, think about our whole tortured history. Back to the beginning, when you showed up in port charles, took that job at aurora media, and didn’t tell anyone you were faison’s son. Are you really surprised, maxie? It’s not like it’s something I was very proud of. And if anyone knew the truth, no one would have trusted me. Right. And you needed people to trust you. People like lulu. You manipulated her so she would convince nathan to go public about the fact that he was faison’s son, which in turn lured faison to port charles — exactly what you wanted. I kept jason alive in that clinic all those years because I knew he was the one person who could rid me of my father, the one person who wouldn’t fall for the legendary cesar faison mind tricks, someone who would simply point the gun and pull the trigger, and that’s exactly what he did. Not before faison killed nathan. Tell me, peter, did you plan for nathan to die? Did you set that whole thing up to get rid of the brother you knew in your heart was a better man than you would ever be?

I went back tothe original title search of properties in the region of the salt mines. And then I cross-referenced properties that have been acquired in the last 15 years. There were 39. Delving deeper, one stands out. Why? Why do you say that? It changed hands 10 years ago. A cash purchase by an octavian stone. That’s him. H-how do you know? No, no, because caesar augustus, right, the roman emperor, his original name — he was originally known as octavian. And — and the latin word for stone is petra. Petra, peter; augustus, august. Peter august. Yes. Okay, that’s it. That’s — pull up the coordinates, ’cause that’s our destination. Agent devane. Hmm. I’ll notify the swiss police of potential wsb action in the area of the salt mines. Exact location tbd. Okay, thank you. Yes. Great. Can you — can you pull up a satellite for this? Oh, look at that. Yeah. Look at that. I got to hand it to the bastard. That place is perfect. It’s isolated. It’s wooded. It’s got plenty of cover. Check out right here. Check out — the road runs right past the property and straight out to the autobahn. Oh, god. That means that if peter gets any advance warning, he’s going to be onto the road, onto the autobahn, and over the border. Yeah, and assuming he’s changed vehicles and has documents to support an alias, the screening at the border won’t stop him. And then we’re back at square one. We can’t let that happen. I take it dr. Collins told you what happened. Of course. Kevin and i have no secrets between us. You gave him pushback because he tried to restrict your contact with ryan chamberlain. Why is that, esme? The class at pcu and my internship give me a sense of purpose. I haven’t felt that way in a long time. Okay, that is… a good thing. It’s okay to be focused. It’s not okay to have tunnel vision at other people’s expense. I’ll do better. Good. I’m really glad to hear that. Now, I just have one more concern. What, the bathroom? No. Well, yes, but no. Um… I was concerned about how you’re doing with spencer being away. It’s tough. I mean, he’s miserable on the inside, and I’m miserable on the outside. Spence is really the only person that gives a damn about me. You think I’d ever let myself be a side piece? Far as I’m concerned, spencer and I are just friends. Now let’s change the subject. There’s something significant you wanted to tell me. Yeah, well, I’m pretty sure you already know, but I never actually said it. That night at the cabin, cam and I had sex.

[ Chuckles ] I figured. When I woke up after spencer and esme left, things between you two just seemed different. So, how is it now that you’ve taken things to the next level? That’s major. It is, but… it also just feels so regular. You know, cam and I, we were so close before, so getting closer, it just felt natural. And he was so sweet and so romantic, and there was no pressure. And he made me feel safe and loved, like I was the only person on the planet. Well, I’m proud of cam for making you feel so special. Well, I want that for you, too. You deserve to be someone’s one and only. And no matter how things shake out, I don’t think spencer is going to be the one to ever give that to you. Vict or show up for his familywhen it suits him? Yes. I can personally attest to that. But I can also attest to the fact that the methods he uses are questionable at best. But they work. Doesn’t make them right. I’m impressed by these newfound scruples of yours. You pulled strings to get alexis a pardon, but you won’t even lift a finger to keep your own son safe from imprisonment. I am only saying… …victor’s protection, it comes at a price. Whatever. Uncle victor takes care of his own. Can you say the same? I’m here. We can’t go back in time. We can only go forward, and I want to do what I can for you. Really? Get ava to drop the restitution. It’s court ordered. It’s not up to ava. Like we cassadines are so law-abiding. There are ways around that. But you won’t even bother. When I saw you here, I thought maybe something had changed. But now I see it’s business as usual. Ava is your priority, not me. You’re still putting her ahead of your own child. Olivia, I feel terrible. If — if I’d been more involved, if I’d visited more, you know, maybe I would have known about his diagnosis.

[ Stammers ] No, no, no, no. Don’t do that. Life happens. Everybody gets busy. Ava: Yeah. Yeah, busy. Right, but I — the fact is, I have been so involved in the cassadine family drama that I’ve — that I’ve neglected my own. I barely know my nephew. Well, look, maybe that’s for the best. Uh, for a while there, anyone who even suggested that there might be something off with leo, I basically bit their head off. Um, I just couldn’t see that he needed a little more support. Sometimes the closer we are to something, you know. Yeah. Well, I sure appreciate you letting me off the hook about spending time with him or not spending time with him, especially considering our, you know, past. Oh. I haven’t forgotten. But this isn’t about us. It’s about leo and what’s best for him. And he is my focus. So how are you — how are you all managing? Well, we’re very lucky. We got a great team of doctors at gh. He’s got an after-school program that’s teaching coping skills and calming techniques and different time management. I mean, I personally have found negotiation techniques and patience that I never imagined that I had. And, um, you know, they say it’s just important to keep it consistent each day and make sure that he has avenues to really express himself. Hmm. Yeah. Well, however you got here, you got here. Yeah. And I’m glad for him that he has such a supportive family. You’re part of that family. Thank you. You know, I think that julian would want me to spend more time with him, especially since he doesn’t have his father. Well, obviously, leo is lucky to have all the love in his life that he can have, but as far as a father is concerned, we’ve got that covered. Um, ned is in the process of adopting leo. Nathan was never my target, maxie. And I’m quite the planner, but… I never could have orchestrated the events that led to my father killing nathan. So even your plans have limits? That’s why your brother wasn’t a target? You’ll get no proclamation of brotherly love from me. I mean, you’re asking for the truth, right? Alright, well, here it is. It couldn’t have worked out better for me if i had planned it. You never would have looked in my direction if nathan had lived. You never would have given me a chance. You’re right. In my grief and desperate need to fill the void that losing nathan left in my life, I believed your lies because I wanted to. I convinced myself after losing the man that I loved that his brother was the next best thing. I never asked the questions that needed to be asked. I never looked past your facade to see the horror underneath. You played me.

[ Scoffs ] But let’s be real. I let you. So that’s on me. Brava. Brava! Now that you’ve had your little reckoning and your moment of self-reflection, maxie, what do you intend to do about it? Well, I dug this hole, so I guess I got to climb out of it… or die trying.

Kevin and i care about you, esme. That’s kind of you to say, but I know you only tolerate me because of spence. And his friends won’t even do that. Esme, there must be someone in your life who you’re really close to. There is one. But, uh, she’s not in the picture anymore. My nanny. She helped raise me after my adoptive parents died. Spencer told me about that. I’m sorry that you had such an unhappy childhood. Where is your nanny now? Kids grow up, and nannies move on. It’s not like we had a falling out. Like you had a falling out with spencer’s friends? Wow, is it that obvious?

[ Sighs ] You know something? I’ve — I’ve learned something in my life. I can either burn bridges, or I can mend fences. And trust me, the second one is so much more rewarding. Honey, maybe right now, instead of working so hard to analyze the inmates, perhaps what you should do is focus on getting yourself a support system, one that doesn’t consist solely of spencer. In other words, get a life?

[ Sighs ] Something like that. I can see why you’re spence’s favorite person. I adore him. And anyone who matters to him matters to me. Come on, now. What do you say? You ready to eat? Would you like to hear the specials, or you want to just order? Um, actually, do you mind if we rain-check dinner? I think I have some fences to mend.
[ Gasps ] Oh. Good for you. Oh, that’s wonderful. I — I think I know what you like. I’ll bring something home for you. Home. [ Chuckles ] I like the sound of that. I don’ t have any expectationswhere spencer is concerned. Just protect yourself, please. You’re always protecting everybody else, but who’s looking out for you?
[ Cellphone chimes ]
[ Chuckles ] You won’t believe this. It’s esme. She wants to talk. Because talking at the cabin went so well. Block her. Why do you insist on making this a competition for my affections? I didn’T. You did. I lost that competition long ago. You’re my son. There’s going to be a place in my heart for you, always.
A place. And ava takes up every other space. No, there’s room for both of you. And it’s so frustrating that you refuse to accept that, and instead, you continue to spend your energy on a vendetta against my wife. And where has it gotten you? Here. I’ve told you that I was friendly with ava once upon a time. It was her betrayal that made me begin to despise her. I wa s trying tdmy loyalty to you and our relationship above all others. Repairing our relationship is my priority. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Prove it. She’s on her way. Oh, great. Um, so then after this, we’ll book you a skydiving lesson with faulty parachutes. I’m curious about what she wants. Aren’t you? This is not protecting yourself. My dad always says the best defense is a good offense. Okay, well, that’s great advice. Take the initiative. Seize the momentum. Just make sure that esme gets what she deserves. What do you intend to do, maxie? Your resources are thin — well, make that nonexistent. I’ll figure it out. Well, the nearest village is 30 kilometers away, and you don’t know the area. You step 10 feet out into those woods, and you’ll be hopelessly lost. And let’s not forget about…the wolves. Oh, I would rather hang with the entire pack than spend one more minute with you. Don’t be ridiculous. Come on. Let’s relax. We’ll have a glass of wine. The swiss are known for their pinot noir. Maxie, come on. We’ve had a long trip. You said you haven’t even slept yet. Aaahh! [ Groans ] Damn it, maxie! You can’t get away! I’m never letting you go!
[ Breathing heavily ] Why am I always in the woods? There it is. Oh, thank you, spinelli, for all those lectures about the night sky. Okay. The map said that the road was to the north. And according to that star, north is that way. Leo will always know julian as his biological father. But julian’s gone now, god rest him, and ned’s going to be the day-to-day dad, you know, that — that stable presence. And ned just gets him. You know? Their bond is so great, and I’m so grateful for that. And leo is just becoming so much more sociable. And it’s all because of ned, you know? He takes him to gh, to a class every week, and he just knows how to encourage his interests. In fact — in fact [Laughs] They’re writing a book together right now. It’s a — it’s a picture book about aquatic animals.
[ Laughs ] Their bond is — is really amazing, ava. Oh, you — you don’t have to sell me. You and ned are obviously on it. You’re a terrific mother. I cannot imagine a better father for leo. I’m sure that julian would agree with me. Thank you. That means a lot. And as far as getting to know leo, it’s never too late. Alright. Go for it. What more can I do to show you how much you matter to me? Give me my trust fund. No more scraping for pennies. Don’t renew your vows with ava. Tell her to hop in a handbasket and go straight to hades. Spring me out of here early. Tap that contact that you used for alexis. Be my father! I can be your father. I am your father. Well, what about the rest of it?! My job as your father is to teach you accountability. I’m willing to do anything, anything but help you avoid taking responsibility or retaliate against my wife.
[ Chuckles ] So that’s it, then. I’m to remain an impoverished ex-con destined for indentured servitude at the mercy of a bitch who gets… that’s enough! No! Hey! …Her happily ever after. You have no right to refer to any woman that way. But it’s okay to arrange to have a woman shot?! You lower your voice.
[ Laughs ] What’s the matter, father? Are you worried that everyone else in here is going to realize that you belong in here, too? This guy bothering you? Is it always hot in port charles this time of year? Hi, joss. Uh, didn’t know you’d be here. Hi. What did you want? Can I at least sit? Be my guest. Thank you. I, um, owe you both an apology, but especially you, trina. What’s the catch? It’s too hot for hell to have frozen over.
[ Sighs ] I deserve that. But you were right, joss. I was trying to create drama during that drinking game. But why? I haven’t done anything to you. You intimidate me. Both of you. We intimidate you? I mean, you’re the ones with great families and friends, everything I don’t have. I mean, you guys have lots of people to love you, including spence. But he’s all I’ve got. So I guess it made me feel territorial. Nobody’s trying to take spencer from you, esme. Not sure they could if they tried. [ Chuckles ] But point taken. You two aren’t the enemy. Um… do you still think I am? Does she know about his diagnosis? I have. I have. She’s planning to visit when she gets a chance. Can she? Yes. The wsb has cleared her of all charges. Oh, that’s great. They were able to prove that the ice princess diamond was swapped without her knowledge weeks before she made the sale. Well, that’s good. I’m sure she’s very happy to have that behind her. Uh, I’m not sure about that. She’s actually contemplating a lawsuit.
[ Chuckling ] Oh. That sounds just like tracy. It’s actually good that luke wasn’t alive to discover that the diamond was stolen. There would be hell to pay. Maybe that was the point. Meaning? Hey, laura. Hi. Hey. Olivia, hi. Ava. Uh, you know what, leo? Your aunt ava is very thrilled to hear about some of the new stuff that you’re learning. Yeah, I heard that you’re working on a book? Would you be willing to show me and avery sometime? You can help if you want. Can you draw? Uh, well, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. I appreciate art a lot more than — than I attempt it. But I would definitely be willing to try for you. Cool. My father was just leaving. You wouldn’t want to keep that precious wife of yours waiting. As you wish. I’ll be visiting you soon, son. Nah. Don’t bother. Apology accepted.
[ Clears throat ] I’m curious. Why the sudden change of heart? Spence’s grandmother. Laura got me thinking spence can’t be my entire world. I mean, I-I need to be my own person. More open. Mend fences and not burn bridges. Mayor collins is a wise woman. Yes, um, you two are certainly close. We all are. Don’t forget she’s cam’s grandmother, too. Yes, of course. Um… well, next time you’re visiting with her, I’ll join you. It’s not like I’m there all the time. Yeah. I mean, trina just went over there to get her gift. A gift? What gift? You mean the gift my boyfriend got for you.
[ Anna whispers indistinctly ] How do you want to do this? Carefully. I don’t want maxie caught in the crossfire. You remember standard ops? All too well. Then call it. Okay. We move now while the clouds are broken and we got a little bit of moonlight. Okay. The goal is to approach and assess how many are inside. Once we got eyes on maxie, that’s when we take the house. Obviously no radios, so keep eye contact for communication. I’m one, anna, you’re two, dante, you’re three. Anna, you take the perimeter. Dante, over there. I’m going to go down the middle, but I’m going to need some cover. Got it? Co ready when you are. Let’s do this. Yes! I did it! Okay. Now all I need to do is find my way to that village. Hey, over here!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Xander: I think we should think about getting out of bed.

Gwen: What? Do you have somewhere to go?

Xander: In fact, I do.

Gwen: Where might that be?

Xander: It’s a surprise.

Gwen: Well, can I at least have a hint?

Xander: Sure. It rhymes with sing.

Gwen: Uh-huh, bling?

Xander: Mean, you’re on the right track.

Gwen: Ding?

Xander: In a sense.

Gwen: Oh, my god. Ring, ring. You’re gonna get me an engagement ring.

Xander: Ding, ding, ding, ding. Well, to be precise, I’m gonna begin the process of window shopping for an engagement ring. So yeah, if you have any hints you wanna drop, now would be the appropriate time.

Gwen: Oh, my god, xander. You are so, so sweet and so utterly charming, but we don’t have any money for a really nice ring. I swear I don’t need anything fancy.

Xander: You deserve it. You deserve the fanciest ring on the planet.

Gwen: Okay. I won’t fight you on it.

Xander: I won’t be long. Try and stay of trouble while I’m gone.

Gwen: I’ll do my best.

Ej: Ironic, isn’t it? That of all the crimes I’ve committed in my life, here I am about to be locked up for the one I did not.

Belle: Well, I’ve already filed the papers to get the appeal rolling.

Ej: At least now I understand why chad changed his mind about testifying on my behalf. But what I don’t understand is why he so certain he saw me kissing abigail at the courthouse when I never went near her.

Belle: Doesn’t make sense.

Ej: If only I could just see him and then explain–

Belle: Oh no, no, no. You don’t wanna do that. He’s got a lot going on with abigail right now.

Ej: What do you mean?

Belle: Well, shawn got a call from chad last night. He got a text–ostensibly from abigail–saying she went to boston to visit her parents.

Ej: And?

Belle: And someone else must have sent that because abigail never went to boston. And now she’s vanished without a trace.

Chad: It’s like finding a needle in a 300-mile haystack. You could be anywhere, but I’m not giving up, abby. I will find you, whatever it takes.

[Soft music]

[Crash]

Kayla: Oh!

Steve: What the hell was that?

Kayla: I think someone slammed the door. Were you sleeping, too?

Steve: Sorry, baby. I shouldn’t have dosed off like that.

Kayla: It’s understandable. You were clobbered on the head, and kristen drugged you.

Steve: And I can’t tell if it’s day or night.

Kayla: Was this here before?

Steve: What? No, maybe she snuck in here while we were sleeping.

Kayla: Well, at least she brought us some provisions.

Steve: And a few other things.

[Cell phone rings]

Kristen: Hello?

[Cell phone rings] Damn it, abigail was right. The cops are closing in.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Shawn: Hey, uncle steve, it’s me. I know brady hired you to look for kristen; I’m sure you’re hot on her trail.

Kristen: Very hot.

Shawn: I’m calling because abigail went missing yesterday, and we have reason to believe kristen is involved. But brady says he hasn’t heard from you lately, so please give me a call when you get this.

Abigail: I told you they’d be looking for me.

[Cell phone beeps]

[Soft music]

Gwen: Here we go.

[Cell phone beeps] “Kristen or whoever you are, I know you have my wife, and you’ve disabled tracking on her phone. Please have some compassion. She’s a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister. I’m begging you. I’ll do anything you want. Just please, let her come home to her family.”

Xander: Stop being so sentimental. Sarah is never coming back to you. And the only way you can afford to buy gwen an engagement ring is to sell this one.

[Tense music]

Sarah: Why can’t the man I love whisk me away on the back of a stallion? Or at least a raft.

Limu emu

Belle: Chad thinks that kristen might have had something to do with abigail’s disappearance.

Ej: Why would my sister kidnap abigail?

Belle: Well, apparently abigail was on the trail of what happened to sarah, and that led her to kristen. I mean, honestly I stopped trying to figure out kristen’s motivations.

Ej: Well, if she did have something to do with abigail’s disappearance, chad should find some comfort.

Belle: Why do you say that?

Ej: Because abigail is a dimera. Family first and all that. Kristen won’t hurt her. We may stab one another in the back figuratively, but never literally.

Belle: Never?

Ej: Well, there was that one time with poor benjy. And renee. But both those incidents were andre’s fault.

Belle: Well, I do hope that kristen has abigail because shawn said that steve and kayla were on her trail. And if anyone can find kristen dimera, it’s them.

Kayla: Let’s see, you know, when it comes to kidnapping, kristen sure provides a1 service.

Steve: She’s had experience.

Kayla: Look at this, three different options for sweetener for our coffee.

Steve: So thoughtful of her.

Kayla: And look at this, our driver’s licenses.

Steve: Yeah, too bad there’s no place to drive to.

Kayla: Excellent point.

Steve: I can tell you right now, she didn’t return my phone.

Kayla: Well, you probably wouldn’t have cell service here, anyway.

Steve: Oh, whoa, whoa. What are you doing? You can’t eat that.

Kayla: Why not? It looks fresh.

Steve: It could have drugs or poison in it.

Kayla: I’m starving. The last time I ate anything was one of the communion wafers that I snuck at the convent. And that was days ago. I mean, aren’t you hungry?

Steve: Yeah, but not hungry enough to risk being poisoned.

Kayla: You know, I’m willing to take the chance. Thank you.

Abigail: Must be stressful feeling those walls just closing in on you. Like I said, just a matter of time.

Kristen: And like I said, if anyone comes looking for you, my house has plenty of rooms.

Abigail: Is that really what you want? You want a house full of kidnapping victims?

Kristen: No, I want to be left alone. I mean, if people would just mind their own damn business, none of this would be happening.

Abigail: So I found a whole wing of the house that’s locked off. What’s in there, sarah? My aunt kayla and uncle steve?

Kristen: No, my bedroom. And I have the only key. No offense, abigail, but I didn’t wanna wake up in the middle of the night with you looming over me.

Abigail: You can’t keep us here forever, you know?

Kristen: I wouldn’t be so sure about that.

[Tense music]

Chad: “I’m sorry, but I can’t help you.” That’s it. That’s it? I’m sorry? “Whoever you are, if you harm one hair on my wife’s head, I will find you. And I will kill you. I do not care if you are family.” Send.

Shawn: Whoa, what’s going on?

Gwen: Sorry, chad, but I can’t do anything to help abigail now. So bugger off.

Alice loves the scent of gain so much,

Shawn: “I will find you, and I will kill you?”

Chad: What, too strong?

Shawn: I don’t think it’s very helpful.

Chad: Well, I need whoever it is to know that they’re not getting away with this.

Shawn: You should have let the police be the one to reach out to abigail’s kidnappers.

Chad: What does it matter? They’re not gonna tell me where abby is anyway.

Shawn: We’ve been trained to handle situations like this. We could have worked out a strategy.

Chad: Strategy, okay. Tell me what your strategy is to bringing my wife home.

Shawn: I went back to the airstrip, and I interviewed all personnel that were working yesterday, and also I tried get a look at the security footage.

Chad: And?

Shawn: And it’s gone. Somebody was covering their tracks.

Chad: Why am I not surprised?

Shawn: I left a message for my uncle steve. Brady hired him to try to track down kristen, hoping that maybe she’ll have some information on philip’s disappearance.

Chad: Okay, what else?

Shawn: I’m still waiting to hear back from him.

Chad: So then what do we do now besides wait?

Shawn: Well, can you think of anyone else who might know where to find kristen?

Chad: Actually, maybe I can.

[Knocking on door]

Gwen: Oh, my god. Coming, coming. Get in there, get in there, get in there. Oh. Coming, I’m coming.

[Tense music]

Maggie: Gwen, is everything all right?

Gwen: Maggie. Yes, everything’s fine.

Maggie: I thought I heard some pounding.

Gwen: Pounding? No, no, I was just trying to call the housekeeping, and the bloody line just doesn’t work. So if you are here to see xander, you’ve actually just–you’ve missed him. But I can take a message for you.

Maggie: Oh no. Actually, I just wanted to see how he was doing after…

Gwen: After sarah turned up and kicked him to the curb again.

Maggie: Well, yes, it must have been very painful for him.

Gwen: Actually, I’m very happy to report that he is doing very well.

Maggie: Really?

Gwen: Really. Turns out that him running into sarah could have been the best thing that could have happened to him.

Maggie: Why would you say that?

Gwen: Because he has finally put sarah in his rear view mirror, and he has decided to move on. In fact, he’s just proposed to me.

[Soft music]

Xander: I’m on my knees, unemployed, apparently unengaged, I’m not really in a cake kind of place–

Sarah: Can you just open the damn box?

Xander: Well, this is really weird.

Sarah: Well, will you? Oh, my god. The most romantic thing I’ve ever read.

Kristen: You barely touched anything I’ve given you since you’ve been here. What, are you on a hunger strike?

Abigail: No, I just don’t really care to be poisoned again, thank you very much.

Kristen: Abigail, I’m not gonna drug you.

Abigail: Why would I trust anything that you say?

Kristen: Well, because the alternative is to starve.

Abigail: No, the alternative is for you to let me go.

Kristen: Can I just make a point? See, if you would have minded your own business, you would be home with my brother and your two beautiful children right now.

Abigail: You are blaming me for getting abducted, okay.

Kristen: All right, see, I see you looking at the phone. Oh, my god, abigail, you can’t help yourself.

Abigail: What are you doing?

Kristen: Well, you can’t be too safe, hm?

Abigail: Look, what was I supposed to do? Sarah’s my cousin, okay? And reporting’s not just my job, it’s in my blood, sort of like kidnapping seems to be in yours.

Kristen: I was adopted, and you know that.

Abigail: Okay, so you were raised to be a kidnapper.

Kristen: Wow. I’m not a monster. I don’t wanna hurt anyone. Look, I’ve made you comfortable here.

Abigail: I would be slightly more comfortable if I were at home with my husband and my kids.

Kristen: I understand. But your father will tell you that I took very good care of him in nashville.

Abigail: Yeah. Apart from the fact that you kept him locked in a warehouse and let his family think he was dead for years.

Kristen: He is alive today because of me.

Abigail: Look, I know you pride yourself on being a non-homicidal type of criminal–well, except for the whole thing with my brother’s girlfriend, but–

Kristen: Okay, you know that I didn’t mean to do that.

Abigail: And maybe you don’t mean to kill me either. But if I starve to death, that’s on your head.

Kristen: Oh, my god. For god’s sakes, you know what? If it’s gonna stop this pointless conversation, I’m gonna prove to you right now that I’m not poisoning any of this, not your corn flakes or your drink. Wanna see? I’ll prove it to you right now. Hm?

[Soft music]

You satisfied now?

[Tense music]

Abigail: Very satisfied. Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

Maggie: Xander proposed to you?

Gwen: Yeah, sorry if it hurts you to hear that. I know that you were very invested in xander and your daughter’s relationship.

Maggie: I’m just surprised. I didn’t see a ring, so…

Gwen: Well, yes, well, it was quite spur-of-the-moment. Actually, he’s out shopping for a ring as we speak.

Maggie: Is that right?

Gwen: Listen, maggie, I know that xander was very dear to you. And I know that you don’t approve.

Maggie: Gwen, I didn’t say that.

Gwen: You didn’t have to. But if you are holding onto any sort of hope that xander and sarah are going to get back together one day, don’T. Because he has said he is not waiting for sarah to come back to him. In fact, sarah has made it very clear, yet again, she does not want him.

Maggie: I know, I was there.

Gwen: Then what’s the problem?

Maggie: The problem is something was off with sarah’s visit.

Gwen: Like what?

Maggie: I don’t know, call it a mother’s instinct, intuition. I don’t know. But she just didn’t seem like the sarah that I know and love.

[Tense music]

Belle: Before I forget, I brought you a little something to help you get acclimated. This one is for the commissary. Buy yourself something nice. And that one’s for the phone.

Ej: Do you always provide these services for your incarcerated clients?

Belle: My clients don’t usually end up in prison.

Ej: Oof, lucky me.

Belle: Ej–

Ej: I’m kidding. I’m very grateful for everything you’ve done and to have you on my side. But you could probably hold onto the phone card because I have no one to call anyway.

Belle: You can call me for anything really, anytime.

Ej: Thank you, belle.

Chad: Ej.

Ej: The hell are you doing here?

Chad: I need to talk to you.

Ej: Belle just told me that abigail is missing. I’m very sorry.

Chad: Yeah, I bet.

Ej: Look, I don’t know anything about what happened to her, if that’s why you are here.

Chad: Maybe you don’t, but I’m almost certain our sister does, and I know you’ve been in contact with kristen. Where is she?

Abigail: Surely you understand how much I miss my kids. I mean, I’m sure you miss rachel.

Kristen: More than you know. Have you seen her?

Abigail: I have.

Kristen: How is she?

Abigail: She’s getting big. Yeah, I saw her at the mall with brady and chloe a few weeks–

Kristen: Okay, just shut up! Just stop it!

Abigail: I thought you wanted to know what you were missing.

Kristen: I did. I did, but the idea of chloe being–she… being she—oh my.

Abigail: Something wrong?

Kristen: Um… yeah, my head is–it’s just spinning.

Abigail: Well, it’s about damn time.

Kristen: What? What did you do?

Abigail: Well, I just–i went out exploring the property, the part you let me see, anyway, and I found some old sleeping pills in a medicine cabinet, and I am very happy to see they’re not expired.

Kristen: No.

Abigail: Yep, yeah. And let me just say, I wouldn’t slip a foreign substance into just anyone’s drink, given my own personal, unfortunate circumstance. But you, you, I felt deserved a little taste of your own medicine, so to speak.

Kristen: So you put it in there and then–

Abigail: Yeah, yeah, and i wasn’t sure how much I’d be able to get you to consume, so I put enough in there to tranquilize a horse. Quite frankly I’m surprised you’re still upright.

Kristen: Oh!

Abigail: That’s more like it.

Is now a good time

for a flare-up?

Gwen: What do you mean it didn’t seem like sarah?

Maggie: Well, my daughter has flaws, we all do. But she’s a very kind and caring person. And despite everything that happened between her and xander, I know how much xander meant to her. But for her to behave like that toward him, it was just–it was out of character, to say the least.

Gwen: Well, perhaps she’s changed since she left salem.

Maggie: Yes. Yes, honestly, she hasn’t been acting like herself since the day she took off.

Xander: Gwen, you’re dressed. That’s a shame. Maggie, hello. What are you doing here?

Maggie: Hello, xander. I just–I stopped by to see how you were holding up.

Xander: Well, I’m doing well, thank you.

Maggie: I heard. Excuse me, forgive me. Congratulations are in order. Gwen told me that the two of you are engaged.

Xander: Indeed we are. Thanks, maggie.

Maggie: I will always be sorry that things didn’t work out between you and sarah, but if gwen makes you happy, then I wish you both all the best.

Xander: I appreciate it.

Gwen: That’s very kind of you, thank you.

Maggie: Well, you two have a good day.

[Soft music]

Gwen: Something tells me she did not mean that.

Sarah: No one’s coming to rescue me. If I want to get out of here, I have to do it myself.

Steve: You’re not gonna believe this, baby.

Kayla: Wow, flare guns. Where’d you find those?

Steve: I was nosing around, and I noticed something in that grill over there. Gave it a yank, and it popped right off.

Kayla: If we could just get that door open.

Steve: Wait a minute.

Kayla: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I’m not finished.

Steve: Oh, baby, listen. When we get back to salem, I’ll buy you a beautiful dinner. I promise. But this and these flare guns could be our ticket out of here.

Abigail: If I were a key, I’d be… right here.

[Tense music]

Ej: Let’s say I did know where kristen was. Why the hell would I tell you anything after you falsely accused me of forcing myself on your wife?

Chad: Falsely accused? I saw it with my own eyes.

Ej: I have no idea who or what you thought you saw–

Chad: You can try to explain this away all you want, but–

Belle: Stop it, stop it. None of this matters now. All right? We all care about abigail, and we all want to bring her home. Now, ej, if you can help chad find her, you will do that, won’t you? Wondering what actually goes into your multi-vitamin.

Ej: I do care about abigail as a sister-in-law and a friend, of course.

Chad: Of course.

Belle: Then you’ll help.

Ej: I’m sorry. Ever since kristen escaped town, I’ve tried to keep tabs on her, but I haven’t heard from her in months.

Belle: Are you sure?

Ej: Yes. I have no idea where she is, and that’s the god’s honest truth.

Chad: What about the dimera secret holdings? Have you checked any of those properties?

Ej: You have more information at your fingertips than I do. You hold the keys to the dimera kingdom after you railroaded me out of my job.

Chad: Stop playing the victim. Abigail’s the victim here.

Ej: Let’s not forget we both know that I don’t belong here.

Chad: You’re a criminal, ej, a sociopath; this is exactly where you belong.

Belle: All right. None of this–

Chad: Hopefully you stay locked up forever.

Belle: Chad, none of this is helpful.

Chad: Just being honest.

Ej: Oh, honest, like when you and lucas set me up, when you lied on the stand?

Belle: Listen, you should know that we’re filing an appeal, and we are gonna win because I know you know that ej is innocent.

Chad: Yeah, innocent is the last thing that he is.

Ej: You see, he couldn’t care less that I was wrongly convicted.

Chad: Justice has been served. The world is a better place with you behind bars. And if you never get out, there is nobody on the outside that is ever gonna miss you, least of all me. Belle.

[Tense music]

Xander: Was that awkward with maggie?

Gwen: A little.

Xander: I’m sorry.

Gwen: It’s okay. I understand that this is probably going to be a part of our lives now moving forward.

Xander: What do you mean?

Gwen: You were set to marry the lovely and beautiful sarah horton, the caring doctor from salem’s family that everybody loves–

Xander: Gwen.

Gwen: And instead you are settling for me, the town pariah who tried to destroy her sister’s life.

Xander: Gwen, look at me. Hey, look, I don’t care what anyone else thinks, even maggie. You’re everything I could ever want. I know we belong together.

Gwen: Are you sure about that?

Xander: Very sure. If you still don’t believe me, then please allow me to prove it.

[Soft music]

Kayla: Oh, try not to stab yourself.

Steve: I know what I’m doing.

Kayla: Uh-huh, I can’t begin to tell you how many people I have stitched up in the er for injuring themselves with utensils.

Steve: Picking locks?

Kayla: Among other things, yes.

Steve: Ooh, sorry I asked.

Kayla: Come on. Be careful, all right?

Steve: I know what I’m doing. Just don’t worry about me. Ow, oh, ow.

Kayla: That looks like it hurt, but I’m not gonna say I told you so.

Steve: You just did.

Kayla: Let me see your hand.

[Tense music]

We do it every night.

Belle: I’m sorry for what chad said to you.

Ej: I suppose I deserve some of it.

Belle: You don’t deserve to go to prison for a crime you didn’t commit. I’ll be back to discuss the appeal after you’ve had some time to settle in.

Ej: Thank you for being my lifeline.

Belle: Well, you hang in there. And I hope your cellmate is–

Ej: Is not a murderer, or somebody that hates all dimeras?

Belle: Well, neither would be very fun for you.

Ej: Although I hear that rafe hernandez could be an inmate soon. Now, that would be my worst nightmare.

Belle: Well, fingers crossed.

Ej: Thanks. I’m sure I’ll be fine.

[Cell phone rings]

Chad: Hey.

Shawn: Were you able to see ej?

Chad: Yeah, thanks for getting me in there. Belle was there, too.

Shawn: She was?

Chad: Yeah, working on his appeal.

Shawn: Right, right. Any luck?

Chad: Ej claims to know nothing about kristen.

Shawn: Do you believe him?

Chad: Hard to tell, but I think it’s a dead end. I guess we’re back to square one.

Shawn: Not necessarily. I may have a lead.

Gwen: Oh, my god. I thought you were just going window shopping.

Xander: Yeah, I decided to upgrade to actual shopping.

Gwen: Xander, how much did that cost? I hope you didn’t have to hock some precious possession or something.

Xander: I sold sarah’s engagement ring.

Gwen: Oh, xander.

Xander: No, it was silly that I’d held onto it as long as I had, just glad I got one last use for it, and very glad to finally put that part of my life behind me.

Gwen: It’s stunning.

Xander: So are you. Hold out your hand.

Gwen: Oh, my god. You’ve already done this once, you know.

Xander: Well, if it’ll make it stick, I’ll propose to you every day of our lives. Gwen rizczech, soon-to-be cook, will you marry me?

Gwen: Yes. A second time, yes. A thousand times, yes! Yes, yes, I will marry you.

Xander: I hope it fits.

Gwen: God, look at that. Xander, that is truly–that is so perfect. It’s beautiful. I love it. I love it so much. I love you. I love you so much. Thank you for making me the happiest woman in all the world.

[Tense music]

Kristen: Abigail, you have been very naughty. No.

Abigail: This is sarah’s room, isn’t it? Where is she?

Kayla: Okay, okay, okay. Stay still, all right?

Steve: Patching up patch. Just like the old days, huh, baby?

Kayla: How does it feel?

Steve: Well, kinda like a rare piece of beef.

Kayla: You are a rare piece of beef.

Steve: Am I now?

Kayla: Yes.

Steve: Okay, that’s good. But I think I’m gonna need a kiss to make it really feel better.

Kayla: Okay.

Steve: No, not there. Right here.

[Tense music]

Ej: Definitely not the ritz. Hello, mate. Sorry to disturb your rest. It looks like we’ll be sharing a cell, so I guess we’ll be spending quite a bit of time together.

[ Upbeat music ]

Ridge: My home is with you, doc.

Brooke: Ridge and taylor together right now.

Hope: Mom, you drove all the way to steffy’s to speak to your husband.

Brooke: Well, I tried to, but thomas wouldn’t let me near the house.

Liam: And you’re sure ridge was there?

Brooke: Yes, I’m sure. I saw his car in the driveway. And thomas was just standing there like a security guard. He said that ridge didn’t want to be bothered. Disturbed.

Liam: Why is–why is– why is thomas playing gatekeeper all of a sudden? You have every right to talk to your husband.

Brooke: I know. I had to get to him. I had to explain. And I didn’t mean to hurt him. I don’t know why I kissed your father.

Hope: Mom, you were impaired. Ridge should realize that.

Brooke: And I thought he did. But then, when I went to il giardino’s, he was beating up on deacon.

Liam: And you reacted the way any reasonable person would by trying to diffuse the situation.

Brooke: I just wanted to stop the fight.

Liam: So it’s that. It’s in ridge’s mind, that is you defending deacon.

Brooke: Yeah, but I wasn’T.

Hope: No, of course not. You want to work things out with ridge.

Brooke: Of course I want to work things out. But I feel like he’s slipping away from me.

Hope: It’s not right for thomas to block you from seeing ridge.

Liam: Was ridge even like aware that you were over there?

Brooke: I have no idea. I don’t think so.

Liam: And–and to be clear, thomas has ridge’s cellphone?

Brooke: Yeah. He hasn’t been getting my calls or my texts.

Hope: Oh, no wonder you haven’t heard a response.

Brooke: Exactly. And now, for sure, I won’t be able to reach him.

Liam: You know, I really kind of thought that thomas was done with the whole like manipulating situations and–

Hope: Well, he’s probably just doing steffy’s bidding. You know, they’re trying to matchmake their parents.

Liam: Yeah, exactly. So, what, are we? Fifth grade?

Brooke: So infuriating! Steffy is there putting things in ridge’s head right now.

Hope: She has been waiting for this opportunity for a while.

Brooke: Oh, I know that. Steffy and thomas. They’re trying to keep ridge and me apart so they can push their parents back together.

Ridge: You get the feeling that we’re–

Taylor: We’re not alone.

Steffy: No, no, you are not alone. There’s two of us.

Thomas: Yes, sorry for interrupting.

Ridge: These kids have terrible timing.

Steffy: I–wow. I’m in shock. I mean, when we were kids, if we walked in and saw our parents kissed, it would be like, so grossed out. But this? This? To see the two of you… so connected. It feels like a dream.

Ridge: It’s real. It’s very real.

Steffy: I can’t even with this right now. Oh my gosh. I don’t want to cry. But I’m like…

Thomas: It’s mom and dad, it’s pretty incredible.

Ridge: Your mom is incredible. This is it. This is my home. I don’t mean this house. This is your house. But it’s my home with you. With you.

Steffy: Wow. If you have type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure

Brooke: Deacon and i crossed a line.

Hope: Yes. A drunken kiss that you came clean about.

Brooke: Finally. And the guilt and shame was killing me, carrying it around since new year’S. I just felt good to get it off my chest.

Liam: Well, I mean, from how it sounds, ridge was willing to move on from it.

Brooke: Well, he wasn’t thrilled about the whole situation. But yes, we did have a very open and loving conversation.

Hope: I mean, ridge has to get that that entire night was fueled by alcohol, right? Like, you wouldn’t have kissed my dad sober. You wouldn’t have let him crash here.

Brooke: No, that’s true. And before ridge left to get some fresh air, he told me that he loved me. And I really believe that our marriage was intact and that we were going to get through this horrible experience. And now… now, I’m just scared. I’m scared… he’s not going to come home.

Hope: Mom, he will.

Brooke: No, I don’t know, hope. What if he doesn’t? I mean, what am I going to do? I have to do something. Liam. I mean, is there anything you can do to help?

Liam: What do you want me to do?

Brooke: I don’t know. Just go over there and say, you need to see kelly and get inside the house and pull ridge aside and talk to him.

Hope: Mom, I doubt that ridge is going to throw your entire marriage away over this.

Brooke: Well, he could, hope. He could. And I certainly don’t want that to happen. So please, liam, go over there and talk to ridge, please.

Hope: Do what you can.

Liam: Yeah. Okay. Okay, I’m going to try.

Brooke: Thank you.

Steffy: You’re coming home?

Ridge: If your mother will have me.

Steffy: Of course she will. She loves you. Mom always loved you. Isn’t that right?

Taylor: Your daughter is correct.

Ridge: She always is.

Steffy: I’m glad you’re willing to accept that.

Ridge: I’m finally coming home to you, my family, and I’m sorry. My eyes are open now on this. A lot of time to make up for.

Thomas: You don’t have to apologize for anything, but it is nice to hear you say that.

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, we do have a lot of time to make up for. But we can do it together.

Taylor: And I’ve also been gone. I missed out on a lot. I stayed away mostly because it was so hard being here without you… and our family.

Steffy: But that’s all about to change.

Taylor: A very welcomed change.

Ridge: Yes, it is.

Thomas: Well, we always wanted you two to be happy.

Steffy: I was so grateful that you’re coming home to us. To mom. And mom, you are such a remarkable woman. You deserve this more than anyone.

Taylor: We all deserve this.

Steffy: All right, we’re going to leave you two…alone.

Thomas: Yeah, we’ll– just go for A…walk.

Steffy: Congratulations.

Taylor: Thank you.

Ridge: Okay.

Taylor: Yeah, well, I guess this is it. The moment we’ve been waiting for. Welcome home, ridge. Life’s been hard enough.

Taylor: The kids are so happy.

Ridge: Probably they know what’s best for us, better than we do.

Taylor: Is–is this really happening? Is it?

Ridge: Us putting our family back together? Yes, I hope so.

Taylor: Maybe we had to go through everything that we did in order to get here. You know, we are– we are living proof that it’s never too late to start over. Feels so good to be in your arms.

Taylor: Mm. You know, I feel like the kids… are like watching us.

Ridge: Yeah. It’s weird, right?

Taylor: Should we–

Ridge: Little–

Taylor: Privacy.

Ridge: Yeah. I think that’s just what the doctor ordered. Let’s do that.

Brooke: Taylor’s been waiting for years to pounce on ridge. Mark my words, she’s going to use this to her advantage.

Hope: Mom, ridge loves you. You’re his wife.

Brooke: Well, then why isn’t he here? Why is he still over there?

Hope: Probably just went to go blow off some steam.

Brooke: The longer he’s at steffy’s with taylor and their kids, the more chance they’re going to put pressure on him to leave me for good!

Hope: Well, hopefully liam is going to be able to deliver a message and then he can come back here with some new information.

Brooke: I hope so. I hope he can get through to ridge. I hope he can get inside that house because if he can’t, I’m going to lose him. I’m going to lose the love of my life.

Hope: So sorry this is happening. I can’t help but feel partially responsible.

Brooke: Don’t blame yourself. This is my fault. I’m the one who ruined my sobriety. I– I chose to drink. I chose to ruin my life, my future.

Hope: And when I look back at it all, I wish I hadn’t been as insistent about my father being welcomed here. I–you know, maybe I should have respected that this is ridge’s house too. And maybe I was being an insensitive, little brat.

Brooke: No, you were nothing of the sort.

Hope: I should have just moved on. I just, I didn’t think that it would jeopardize your marriage like this, so I… I am so sorry, mom.

Brooke: Honey, stop. I don’t want you to feel guilty. Look, let’s just pray that liam can talk to ridge. And that he can communicate to him on my behalf.

Hope: Oh, mom.

Thomas: Did dad leave or…

Steffy: No, no. His–his car still outside. Which means–

Thomas: He and mom are–

Steffy: Yeah, they’re probably upstairs. They need a little privacy.

Thomas: Ew.

Steffy: I–

[ Knocking on the door ]

Liam: Hey, guys.

Steffy: Liam?

Liam: Yeah. Hey, it’s liam. I just saw you walking in from outside. I hope that’s okay.

Thomas: Did you know he was coming over?

Steffy: No, I wasn’t expecting you either.

Liam: Everything’s fine. I promise. Everything’s fine. I just– sorry, I should’ve called first. I just I thought I’d stop by, maybe to see kelly because I was right down the street.

Steffy: Oh, kelly’s with her friend. We talked about this, remember?

Liam: Yeah, of course. I’m sorry, I totally forgot.

Thomas: Did you really forget, liam?

Steffy: Or did brooke send you over here to speak with our dad?

Taylor: Are we doing this? Nyquil severe gives you powerful relief

Liam: Yeah, all right. You got me. I’m here for brooke. She’s really scared.

Steffy: She should be.

Liam: Okay. But you’re like, not even like letting her in the house. I mean, what’s– what’s going on there?

Thomas: I don’t know if that’s necessarily the best description of what’s happening. But I’ve got to say that, you know, if we did let her in, it would be like the same thing it always is. She screws dad over and then she begs and she pleads and she cries. And I think that dad deserves a little time away from her.

Steffy: Yeah, I wish I could welcome brooke into our home. But thomas is right. Dad’s moving on with our mom.

Liam: Okay, but they’re married. So–

Steffy: They shouldn’t be. Not after the way she’s been treating him.

Thomas: Yeah, liam. Look, maybe we could show some grace if this was the first time that she had screwed up. But it’s not.

Steffy: No, it’s not. She’s done this on numerous occasions. We’ve lost count. We have given her plenty of chances. But liam, it’s– it’s over now.

Liam: Okay, so let’s say it’s over. Why, then, would you not let her even talk to him? I mean, she drove all this way and you turned her away? And I hear you have ridge’s phone? Like what is going on there? What’s that about?

Thomas: Liam, it’s not like we’re holding him hostage. He can leave and go to brooke’s whenever he wants to.

Steffy: Yeah, but I wouldn’t count on that happening.

Liam: All right. Speaking of, where is ridge, exactly? Because I saw his car outside, I know he hasn’t left yet. But–

Thomas: Good question. You would have seen somewhere, right?

Liam: What are you– what are you doing right now? Why are you being so cryptic? Okay, if you’re that confident that ridge is moving on from brooke, why are you so scared of them communicating?

Thomas: It’s almost like he is someone else he’d rather spend his time with.

Steffy: Look, we’re not pulling the strings here. Our parents can make their own decisions. Besides, none of this would be happening if brooke didn’t do what she did. She drank to give yourself permission to be with deacon. Another scandal. Another betrayal. This is the last time she’s going to disappoint my father.

Brooke: Honey, I don’t want you blaming yourself.

Hope: Mom. I got caught up in my own needs. I wanted a relationship with my dad and I didn’t think about how that would impact the two of you.

Brooke: And I can sympathize with that. Because I didn’t know my dad growing up. But later, I was able to reconnect with him, as an adult. And that’s what I wanted for you. But you’re right. We shouldn’t have dismissed ridge’s feelings or concerns. But I did. Oh, wow. Am I realizing that right now?

Hope: Mom. No. Look, ridge will come around. All right? He always does.

Brooke: I mean, I didn’t like it when you and ridge were fighting, but I also wanted you to have a relationship with your father.

Hope: I know. But… I was being pretty stubborn. I will own my part in that. I could have met my dad in town for a coffee. I just didn’t think it would affect ridge as much as it did, having him around.

Brooke: Yeah, I didn’t either. And he really stood by what he believed, you know? And he said that something terrible was going to happen, but I ignored him. Instead, I defended deacon instead of my own husband. I mean, why? Why did I do that? I feel like I could be losing ridge to taylor as we speak.

Taylor: I’ve never stopped loving you.

Interview with the cast of “All-American: Homecoming”

Posted on February 21, 2022 by TvMegasite Admin

TV Interview!

"All-American: Homecoming" poster

Interview with actors Geffri Maya, Peyton Alex Smith, Sylvester Powell, Cory Hardrict, Kelly Jenrette, Camille Hyde, Mitchell Edwards and Netta Walker, and executive producer Nkechi Okoro Carroll of “All-American: Homecoming” on The CW by Suzanne 1/27/22

This was a really fun panel. These actors really seem to enjoy their work and have a lot of congeniality with their fellow cast and crew. I watch MANY shows on The CW (mostly superheroes). I watched 5 episodes of this new spin-off. It started slowly but started to get better by the end of the third episode. It’s basically a soap opera set in a fictional HBCU, just as the original show is a soap opera set in a high school. That one is mostly about football. This one is about baseball and tennis. I’m sure you’ll recognize a lot of the actors from the first show. However, you can watch this and enjoy it even if you’ve never seen the show from which it’s spun off.

Nkechki (whom they refer to as “NK”) answered the first question from a journalist about what role will HBCU* experiences play in the series. She said Bringston University, where the show is set, is a character itself on the show. Even though it’s not a real institution, it seems real because it’s the “life force of the show” and it’s everything for the students. She also asked whether the show is still about football, and whether there are new characters (besides the ones from the original show). NK answered that show is about tennis and baseball, as well as about “HBCU life in general.” She also took a moment to praise the cast as beautiful and amazing. She can’t wait for us to get to meet the characters of the show because she feels like they’re her friends. She continued on to explain that the cast is mostly new people who represent “”the absolute spectrum of what it is to be young and Black and at an HBCU.”

I then asked her if there was a particular real-life campus that she based Bringston on. She replied, as expected, that it’s “an amalgamation of a few different campuses.” She complimented their production designer as “brilliant” because they sat down and envisioned what they wanted, and then they brought it to life. Viewers who went to an HBCU should recognize the campus as being similar to the campuses in DC, Atlanta and other places. NK confided that she didn’t go to an HBCU, so she wanted to create her own. I asked a followup question about whether she directed her actors to train in tennis and baseball ahead of time, or did they hire actors who already knew how to play. As I’d hoped, she asked the stars Peyton and Geffri to give their two cents. Peyton, whom you may know from “Legacies” on The CW, plays baseball star Damon Sims. Geffri plays tennis star Simone Hicks. I was happy to be in a conversation with Peyton because I was so unhappy when they wrote him out of “Legacies.” Now I see that it was for the best because he’s able to go on to bigger things in this show.

Peyton joked, “Uh, honestly I’m just a natural-born talent in like whatever I do.” There was laughter and NK jokingly said he was going to let him talk. Geffri told us truthfully that she hadn’t ever held a racket until they found out about this backdoor pilot. Once they knew it was going forward, she found a good tennis coach and started working hard on the sport. She said that tennis is “beautiful” and that it takes respect and work with your “full mind, full body and full spirit.” She hopes we can see it and feel it. I assured her that it worked out great from the four episodes I saw.

Peyton then answered more seriously. He used to play but hadn’t played baseball in about 17 years. When they shot the pilot, he was very scared as soon as he got up on the mound, since he was playing “super athlete.” After that, he and Sylvester worked on pitching and batting with a scouting coach with the Atlanta Braves. They did a lot of work not only baseball, but just working out in general as well. Then he flew to Bellingham, Washington to work with the college kids there at Western Washington University. He said he “had no idea that was a place.” Ha ha! I have a friend who teaches there, and I felt the same way when I heard he was moving there. “Where the heck is Bellingham?” Anyway, he said it was great to see the kids in their environment, and it not only helped him with playing but with his acting. He gave an example: “we see how those kids react to the coaches.” He gave baseball props because he discovered that it’s not an easy sports. He used to think it was boring to watch, but now he knows more about it and finds it interesting. NK then praised him for being “so incredibly locked.” I’d never heard that term before, but I assume she means that he’s very focused.

NK then praised Camille. She really nailed the part in her audition, and then she was asked if she played tennis, almost as an afterthought, and she answered with a list of her tennis accomplishments. They were shocked but knew they found the right actress to play Thea. They never have to use her double because Camille is “unbelieveable.” She’s their expert, in fact, if they want to know how they’re portraying tennis correctly.

Camille said that it was lucky for her that she and her character had a lot in common. She never lost a match when she was in high school. She brought some of that “can’t lose” attitude in her acting as well. The mentality includes, “even if we come close to losing and we win, it wasn’t good enough. So you train harder, you work harder and that’s, that’s definitely just scratching the surface of what it means to be a college tennis athlete. Um, there’s never enough serves you can hit in a day. There’s never enough drills you can do in a day. That’s how I was until, you know, my hands are bleeding and the blisters were all popping on my feet, but you know, that’s what it means to be a college athlete.” She says they definitely earned their respect.

The cast was also asked by a journalist about whether they tell people when they go in to audition whether they can play the sport or not. He said he would be worried that someone said he got it wrong if he wasn’t very good at it.

Cory joked, “Fake til you make it.” He was joking, but Geffri confided that she was always told to say yes on auditions when asked if she could play something, and then go practice to make it real. She did say that it “just depends on the person.” Peyton said he’s seen that go wrong before where someone said they could play basketball but had to leave, embarrassed. Mitchell admitted that happened to him. He told the people at the audition that he could play basketball, but he couldn’t. He was terrible. Sylvester jokingly consoled him by reminding him that he’s a football player. Then Geffri joked, “But you know what they said, Mitch? They said, That boy got beautiful skin, though.'” They joked around some more.

Cory added in that you should always tell the truth, get the job, work hard and “keep your faith.”

Geffri admitted that she told them for this part that she can’t play, but she promised to learn. NK confirmed that Geffri did say exactly that. They just hoped that would be enough so that they could do the spin-off. Geffri joked that she would never tell NK no. She jokingly said, “’Are you an astronaut?” Yes. I am going to spacecamp. Yes.'”

A reporter asked how good they think they’ve become. Peyton joked that after the series was over, in about 6 years, he’s going to play professional baseball. Geffri teased that he woudl be going pro in the spinoff of the spinoff.

Geffri then answered seriously that she definitely sees growth in everyone’s playing. She already knew Camille before the series and thinks that she has grown as a person. She thinks, while “there’s always room for improvement” she thinks she’s improved at tennis and will continue to work hard at it because it “requires dedication.” She added that it’s also very fun to play.

NK praised them all for their hard work, which she saw in the many hours of footage that she had to edit for the series. They had very little notice to get in shape for the pilot and learn how to play well. She applauded them for not only their hours of commitment to playing but also acting, learning lines, and showing up for long days of shooting. Also, some of them had to learn to dance. Netta plays Keisha, who’s a dancer and choreographer, so she had to really work hard to “nail the routines we give her,” and Mitchell has to sing as well. She saluted their “bringing excellence, which is the theme of the show.” She felt honored for them to all bring their A games to the series.

Peyton also added that he felt if he worked really hard on the baseball, then it became easier, so then he could focus more on his character and the art of acting.

Another journalist asked about what the characters find out or learn as they go through this time in their lives where a lot of change happens.

Netta talked about playing a college age young person on the show, which she can really relate to because she made a lot of the same mistakes and going through self-discovery. She feels like they’re doing it in a way that’s not filled with bias, which is unusual. Then having the “extra layer of Black excellence on top of it” makes it even more enjoyable. She told us that when you’re at an HBCU, you have to be at your best: “you gotta be on. You can’t slack, edges better be laid, hair better be pressed, outfits better be on top, and everyone’s been doing it for it.” She’s happy to be playing Keisha, who’s the top girl socially at the school.

Cory cracked that Keish is the one they all wanted to be in college; “She’s the “it” girl.” Netta joked back at him that he couldn’t possibly think that way because his face “is perfectly symmetrical”.

Camille added that her face is symmetrical, too, but she credits everything to their stylists, who put together their clothes, hair, makeup, etc. It makes their jobs easier because it “represents us in our community and Black excellence and the hair and you know, how much, you know, young, Black culture, a lot of it is hair. A lot of it is style.” She believes that it will translate well on the screen. Geffri agreed with that and went on at length about HBCU and the black excellence they represent. She feels privileged to show what this life is like to young kids who might be thinking about going to college.

Cory took the opportunity to praise NK for creating this world. He’s happy to be a “positive influence in these young male figures lives, and especially this Black experience.”

NK redirected the praise toward the cast, saying that she capture “lightning in a bottle” with all of them. Meeting Geff, in particular, inspired her to create this world. There was a lot more to this panel, but you get the idea about the show and how much this cast loves each other.

*HBCU refers to historically black colleges and universities, in case you didn’t know. Famous examples include Spelman, Howard and Xavier University.

ALL AMERICAN: HOMECOMING is a young adult sports drama set against the backdrop of the HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) experience at Bringston University, where Black excellence is a way of life. The series follows Simone (Geffri Maya, “All American”), a young tennis hopeful from Beverly Hills who is trying to fight her way back to great after some time away from the court, and Damon (Peyton Alex Smith, “Legacies”), an elite baseball player from Chicago who is carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. After Simone’s aunt Amara Patterson (Kelly Jenrette, “Manhunt”), a journalism teacher and activist, exposes a scandal that threatens to derail the school’s beloved baseball program, new coach Marcus Turner (Cory Hardrict, “The Chi”) is determined to bring a championship back to Bringston the honest way — with Damon’s help. Damon will adjust to his new normal with fellow baseball player and childhood friend JR (Sylvester Powell, “Five Points”) by his side. Meanwhile, as Simone struggles to find her footing, she will get a little guidance from Thea (Camille Hyde, “Katy Keene”), the super-competitive queen bee of the Bringston tennis team, and Keisha (Netta Walker, “Come as You Are”), the school’s unofficial mayor, who will help Simone learn how to live her best life.

Interview with the cast of “The Endgame”

Posted on February 21, 2022February 22, 2022 by TvMegasite Admin

TV Interview!

Morena Baccarin and Ryan Michelle Bathe of "The Endgame" on NBC

Interview with actors Morena Baccarin, Ryan Michelle Bathé, Costa Ronin and executive producers Jake Coburn and Nick Wootton of “The Endgame” on “NBC” by Suzanne 2/11/22

This was part of a larger NBC panel for TCA. I really enjoyed watching this show because it’s exciting. It really keeps you on the edge of your seat. The actors are really good. I would have watched it just because Morena Baccarin is always good. You may know her from “Firefly,” “Gotham” or the “Deadpool” movies. She’s always outstanding. Ryan Michelle Bathé does a good job as the heroine. Noah Bean is also in the cast; I loved him in many roles, such as “Damages” and “Nikita.” I interviewed Costa Ronin before, and he’s an excellent actor and nice person. Make sure you check it out! It’s a little bit like “Blacklist,” mixed with “Killing Eve” and “Blindspot,” and a dash of “Queen of the South.” Yet it’s definitely its own thing.

Most of the questions were directed at Morena Baccarin, so I asked a question for both women. Most of the good questions had already been asked. First, I told them how much I loved the show. Then I asked, “Did either of you have much input into either your character or the clothing that you get to wear in the show?” They kind of laughed at my question, which is fine. Morena replied that they did have conversations beforehand about their characters and how these two women related to each other. Their two characters are so tied together that you can’t have one without the other. She also said that “the clothing is very important to this character.” When we first see Elena, she’s “coming out of this box in a dress,” so they had trouble, at first, finding the right gown so that she could amazing. The effect she described is, “it’s a very strange and incredible moment to see this international arms dealer being captured in a giant ball gown.” She had tried on many dresses and hadn’t found the one she liked. She was on the Upper East Side of New York for a doctor’s appointment. She had some time to kill, so she walked into the Carolina Herrera shop and saw the dress immediately. She said to herself “That’s the one,” tried it on and sent the producers a photo of it. They did look into other options, but this was the one that she felt gives you the right feeling that they wanted Elena to invoke in the audience when they saw her coming out of the box. EP and showrunner Nick Wooton agreed. Once she found that dress, they tried to see if anything else came close, but nothing did. Morena joked, “And now I’m stuck with this dress forever.” Nick joked with her but then made it clear that she does change clothes at some point. Morena asked if Ryan had anything to add, but Ryan made her own joke by saying, “No. Val is just a bit of a sparrow… just rolls around in the dirt with the pigeons and just, kind of, gets on, stomp, stomp, stomp.” I think she was just saying that Val’s clothes are no big deal compared to Elena’s. It was a funny way of saying it, though.

Here are the questions asked by other journalists on the panel. Most of the questions were directed at Morena, since most people are probably more familiar with her work. Here are the questions for her. She was asked how it was being the lead of the show (since this is her first lead role). Morena thinks that she and Ryan are equal leads on the show and that Ryan gets more screen time than she does. She noted, “it’s fun to be No. 1 on the call sheet, but the work is definitely not all on me.”

She was also asked what about the script or character attracted her to it. She answered that she always wanted to play a larger-than-life character who plays for “high stakes.” Also, she liked the humor in the series and felt that it was a page-turner as she read it. She also enjoyed that it’s about two people who happen to be women. They’re both “after the same thing,” even though they’re on opposite sides.

Next Morena was asked if she had to do any type of physical stunt work or training for her, or what things she did to embody the “beautiful essence” of Elena. Morena told us that the accent was the biggest thing for her that she had to embrace and work very hard to perfect. It’s not one she’s done before, but it was “a lot of fun to create this part.” Going back to my question, she confirmed that she had a lot of discussions with the producers about the accent, who the character was, etc. She thinks Val has a lot more action to do than Elena.

Morena was asked if she thinks Elena will be an anti-hero that “the audience will root for.” Morena joked that the dress made her do “weird things” and then seriously agreed that she believes that Elena is not really a villain because she’s fighting for a good cause. Any “villain” has to have good reasons in their minds to do what they do. Usually it’s because of someone they’re connected to, which is the case here. She believes that anyone who watches the first episode or two will be rooting for both Elena and Val. Nick chimed in that the first arc of the show starts of looking like there’s a good guy and a bad guy, and then the series explores their characters, and some gray areas. Then there’s a “gradual shift over this ten day period of time.” It might end up in a very different place.

Morena was asked what new challenges the role has brought to her (which is a similar question to the one she was asked before). She answered it differently, though. The character is very complicated, so they get to explore who Elena is, what makes her tick, and “her emotional arc and life.” She’s always asking Nick what Elena’s motivation is in each episode so that she could make sure to know what drives her and to make her real, not like a cartoon. She’s had trouble with the accent and gets help from Costa with that. She stressed that, “the acts that are happening around her that she’s orchestrated are enormous.” She also had to make sure to “have fun” with the part. If she doesn’t have fun, then she loses the audience. It has to be “grounded in reality” and not too out there, so she’s always questioning whether she’s acting too broadly or not. She compares it to being in “bumper cars” while trying to find Elena.

Ryan was asked some questions. She was previously in “Boston Legal” and “All Rise” as lawyers, and now she’s an FBI agent. In real life, she went to Stanford and NYU. She was asked if she ever wanted to be a doctor, lawyer, etc. and how she decided to become an actor. Interesting question. Costa joked, “You could have had a real job is what he’s saying.”

Ryan replied that she did consider becoming a lawyer and an FBI agent. She also wanted to become a pilot in the Air Force and fly fighter jets, but she was told she couldn’t do that (probably because it’s very tough to get to do that job, especially for women). There were many things she wanted to do, but that led her to become an actor because then she gets to play all of these things. She’s glad that she doesn’t have to actually arrest or shoot anyone. Then she joked, “Jake and Nick know about my shooting” and Nick replied, “Steady aim. Steady eye. She’s dead eye.” Well, I wish I had asked whether he was being facetious or not.

Ryan was asked about graduating from Stanford. Issa Rae also came from there. She was asked if she saw that other black students were going there to build the drama program. She was also asked how she feels about starting a new show when her husband’s show is ending (she’s married to Sterling K. Brown of “This Is Us”). Ryan praised Stanford and their “wonderful alumni community.” She noted that it was a Stanford woman that gave her “my first big job in Hollywood.” She told us that she’s sad about the end of the Pearsons and his show, just like she feels “all of America is.” She said that Sterling has made “great friends” there. She thinks that her starting a new show dovetails nicely with his ending and feels it would be too difficult to both be starting 2 new shows at the same time.

Another press person asked her about Val’s motivations on the show because she seems so “pure.” He wondered what else she’s about. Ryan let us know that each show is a new day in the story, so time passes differently there than out here in the real world. Her description made total sense, “”it’s like if you dropped into the worst five days of someone’s life, you would think that that five days was it, and you wouldn’t know that they like cheeseburgers” (for instance). She joked that she and Morean really tried to get it into the show that she likes cheeseburgers. Morena cracked her own joked, “We have a pitch for you after this,” so Nick replied, “Done. It’s already written.”

Ryan continued to explain that we don’t know too much about Ryan at first because she’s just so focused on these tough days in her life, not anything else that’s going on in her life. “right now,” she explained, “she’s got to get her girl and, in the process, unravel an international government conspiracy.”

Another reporter told Ryan how much she adores her and that she’s happy to see her in this cool show. She asked if she’s correct to assume that this is a type of Robin Hood story. Ryan agreed with that, and Morena agreed that there are definitely aspects of that other story. Ryan added that it has to do with what Elena does with the money, but she’s not allowed to tell us about it.

Nick explained that the story is more about the corruption going on in public institutions, that is “in plain sight.” Elena is pointing out the flaws in the systems. The real world flaws are informing their “narrative.” They have no shortage of real world issues to use for future episodes because of everything that goes on in the world.

Another fan of Ryan’s asked whether she would have time to be on “All Rise,” now that it’s on OWN, as well as “First Wives Club,” since she’s in this show. Ryan confided that she just loves “All Rise” and the people there. She especially praised star Simone Missick, whom she called a “queen” and compared her to “Nefertiti.” She hopes they can make the schedule work for her to be on “All Rise” as well.

Poor Costa had been largely ignored, so it was nice to see that someone finally asked him a question. He was asked about his character and what made him want to take the role. He’s played a criminal in many shows, such as “The Americans” and “Homeland.” Costa admitted that it’s “the best script I have read in the last two years.” He’s very excited to be part of it. It’s more than just a crime show. It combines many elements. It does have a lot of action, but there are “quiet moments” which show why the characters are doing things. It’s not a one-note show. He compared it to a symphony, saying, “you have a little bit of this, you have a little bit of that.” Each episode brings more incredible story. He really praised the writers and said he’s proud to be part of it.

Executive Producers Nick and Jake were asked if the series was shot in New York, or whether it was just a few external shots. He also asked if there were any financial considerations, such as tax credits, or if shooting was affected by the pandemic.

Nick confirmed that it was shot entirely in NYC. He joked, “Money has never entered into the conversation for one second about this show. It is shockingly carte blanche.” Nick loves the city. His mom was “born and raised in The Bronx,” and he’s spent a lot of time there. He described why he thinks it’s best place for any crime drama: “the density of humanity, the beauty of the sky line, the water, the range of socioeconomics. Everything about New York lends itself to a great show, as we’ve seen a thousand times and we’ll see many times more. To me it’s the most exciting city in the world to shoot in.” They did get tax credit but could have shot it somewhere cheaper. They chose New York instead.

Victor: Sweetheart. I’m about to grab a bite to eat. Do you care to join me?

Victoria: Actually, I’m on my way out. I just wrapped up a meeting with one of my lawyers.

Victor: Any problems with the merger between newman media and chanccomm? No bumps in the road?

Victoria: No, none at all. It’s been remarkably smooth. Almost too smooth.

Victor: Really?

Victoria: I was expecting to hear that you overrode adam’s decision about his new coo, since clearly, I mean, you were surprised that he chose sally to be his second in command.

Victor: Yeah, well, I think it’s a rather interesting choice, to be honest with you.

Sally: So, I was working late last night, looking at all of the assets and ad revenue across newman media, seeing if there was any overlap with chanccomm. I thought there was gonna be a lot of redundancies, but there actually weren’t that many, which means we are going to have a robust library of content. And with all the growth and expansion, I think it’s the perfect time to assess the best way to grow our audience.

Adam: How do you think we’re gonna do that?

Sally: Mm, I am so glad you asked. I think that we should offer subscription deals to our existing customers on whatever platform they’re currently on and then up-sell them on the other platforms.

Adam: Hmm.

Sally: It is genius or genius?

Adam: It’s a good idea. And I really like your passion for it. But I think it’s a little simplistic. I worry that you may have overlooked the complexity of this merger because it’s not gonna be as easy as you think.

Billy: Hi. Good morning.

Lily: Good morning. Kind of. Second pot of coffee is hot.

Billy: Fantastic. Thank you very much for that. I didn’t even look. What time is it?

Lily: Well, it’s late enough that I’ve been up for hours working.

Billy: Are you calling me a slacker? Are you getting competitive about who’s working harder? Because I’ve put in some good time on the midnight shift.

Lily: Oh, did you have another sleepless night?

Billy: Yes. My eyes popped open around 2:48 A.M., As they usually do. Grabbed my phone and came downstairs.

Lily: Was last night like the others?

Billy: Yeah. Yeah. It was good. You know, my stream of consciousness, my free-association brain wave, whatever you want to call it. Got some good ideas down and went back to bed around 4:00 A.M.

Lily: Wow. I didn’t even hear you come back to bed.

Billy: Which means, by my calculation, that would put it at about an hour and 12 minutes of absolute genius. And if you’re asking me, that would be a few hours of a caffeinated morning slog.

Lily: Oh, wow. Who’s being competitive now?

Billy: Mm.

Nate: Hey. Sorry I’m late.

Ashland: Ooh. Hey. Not a problem at all. I was able to get some work while I was waiting. And I ordered you a latte with soy milk.

Nate: Well, thank you. I’m impressed. You know my favorite drink.

Ashland: Well, I realized you had a penchant for them in italy. And besides, this way, we can get, you know, right down to business, no time wasted.

Nate: Wow. But generous and efficient.

[ Laughs ] I should hire you at the hospital to help me navigate through all the over-complicated rules and regulations I have to deal with.

Ashland: Oh, god, no, that’s a terrible idea. I would not last two days. I despise red tape, and it seems to me you’re of the same mind, which makes me wonder if you’re ready for that professional change we talked about.

Amanda: Welcome home.

Phyllis: Hey! Thanks.

Amanda: So, how was milan?

Phyllis: It was really, really nice. It was great spending time with summer and kyle, harrison.

Amanda: And what about the job at marchetti?

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] I’m staying.

Amanda: Yay.

Phyllis: Ugh. I’m not leaving genoa city, okay?

Amanda: And is the reason you’re staying in town — is it standing right over there?

Is now a good time

for a flare-up?

Additional sponsorship

Phyllis: Okay, I’m not gonna lie. Jack of course did factor in to my decision to stay, my friendship with him. But my friendship with you, too, is important, and with michael. And I should have just taken your advice before I booked my ticket. Okay. There.

Amanda: Uh-huh. Uh-huh. But still, you know, I know that you’re gonna miss your friends, but there are planes and there are phones, and long-distance friendships — they can work. But long-distance romance? That’s a little harder to pull off.

Phyllis: Okay, listen. For real. I have concluded that I’m not gonna have a relationship with jack, a romantic one. We are friends, and we will always be friends. And that’s really important to me. Inevitably, I do something to screw up our relationship, so I’m not gonna do that. As much as I would want to, you know, have a romantic, um, relationship with him, I’m not — I’m not gonna do it. It wouldn’t work.

Amanda: Well, I think you’re selling yourself short. But, yeah, you know yourself better than anyone, so I’m not gonna try and change your mind.

Phyllis: Oh, okay. Thank you. I appreciate that.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ]

Nate: Fighting bureaucracy is just a part of my job. But I do find it frustrating because what I care about most are the patients. All that paper stuff only takes my attention away from people I’m trying to help. Speaking of which, how are you feeling as of late?

Ashland: Well, look at you. Not only a brilliant doctor, but a master of deflection. Okay, I’ll play that game. That’s fine. I feel great. Thank you for asking. But I’m not letting you off the hook that easy. Nate, I just — I hate seeing you feel so unfulfilled and so frustrated in your work, especially when you could be using your talents toward so many other, more important things than paperwork.

Nate: Okay, look, I didn’t mean to complain. The administrative aspects of what I do are important. Hospitals need to be compliant with regulations. Doctors need to be held accountable. So I understand why the rules exist. I just think a lot of unnecessary complications have been built into the system.

Ashland: Yeah, but, see, that’s exactly why I want you to come over to newman/locke. I’ve had this — I’ve had this idea stuck in my head, right? If we could put together newman’s healthcare divisions with locke’s communication tech, we could create real innovation in that arena with the right leadership.

[ Exhales sharply ] And, see, we would have to find someone who not only understands how to change the current systems, but also can see healthcare in a much bigger way, not just locally, but globally.

Nate: You really put a lot of thought into that. That was quite the pitch.

Ashland: [ Laughs ] Looking at the big picture is, uh, what I do. I’m very good at it. Let me try one more thing. Um, I have been the recipient of an extraordinary healthcare system. And you were so caring and useful during that time. I see this not only as a way to give back to you, but to enable you to give so much to so many more people. Think about it. If you were to leave the hospital and join us, you could take all those insights, all that empathy you have, and use it on a much bigger level. Imagine the change you could make globally if you were to join us at newman/locke.

Victoria: You know, dad, i really can’t seem to figure you out these days.

Victor: Mm.

Victoria: One minute, you’re furious at adam that he almost threw everything away at newman media by falling for billy’s ruse, and then you make the sale of the company contingent on adam being left in charge. Now, I know that you seem okay with sally being installed as coo, but clearly you were upset when I first told you about it.

Victor: I discussed that with both adam and sally, and they were both very persuasive.

Victoria: I’m not buying that, not for a minute. No, I’m not. There is no way that sally is prepared for this job, in my opinion. So, what is this? Is it like a game or another test? What are you after here?

Victor: What I’m always after — unity in the newman family.

Victoria: And you think that by forcing me to work with adam, that’s gonna happen?

Victor: Adam has made mistakes. We’ve all made mistakes, okay? I’m not gonna dismiss him for that. He’s done a pretty damn good job at newman media. I believe in him.

Sally: I am not taking anything for granted or underestimating the complexity of the situation. Of course we have to work fast to get both media teams at both companies integrated. We want them working together and not against each other.

Adam: Well, that is easier said than done.

Sally: You didn’t let me finish. I have already consulted with the chief marketing officers of both chanccomm and newman media to get their take. They were both very receptive to my ideas. They seemed very motivated and ready to collaborate.

Adam: Mm-hmm. That’s ’cause they would rather work together than get fired. I think that there’s still some overlap to be found. But I think that we’re gonna have to do some downsizing before we can even think about expanding.

Sally: So, what are you saying exactly?

Adam: That we should put a pin in the subscription idea for the moment.

Sally: But you’re wrong.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Excuse me?

Sally: It makes sense for a number of reasons. Let me put the numbers in front of you.

Adam: You know what? Why don’t we finish this conversation over breakfast where we can focus in a public place? I’m steve, I lost 138 pounds in nine months on golo

Victoria: You know, you claim that you want family unity, but your actions often suggest something different.

Victor: What would I gain by creating discord?

Adam: Did someone call a family meeting?

Victor: Well…

Adam: It was not on my schedule.

Victoria: Your ears must have been burning. Congratulations on your new title.

Sally: Thank you.

Adam: Well, surely you have more important things to talk about than us.

Victoria: True. In fact, I should be going.

Adam: Well, we won’t keep you. We’re just here for a working breakfast. We’re talking about sally’s ideas on how to capitalize on a bigger and better newman media.

Victoria: Great. Ashland and I would love to, um, hear your ideas. I’m sure that we’ll have some thoughts.

Sally: Yeah, I would love that. I mean, there’s no time like the present. Would you like to do it now?

Victoria: Oh, no. Unfortunately, I can’T. I’m running late for something. But maybe dad would like to join you for a family meal. He loves those.

Victor: Bye, sweetheart.

Adam: What was that all about?

Sally: Pretty good guess.

Victor: Nothing for you two to worry about. So, uh, how are the two of you settling in?

Sally: [ Stammers ] Well, i am excited and energized. And with adam at the helm, i have no doubt that the larger division will flourish. He brings out the best in his employees. He challenges them to back up their ideas and leaves them room to spread their wings. What more could you ask for in a boss?

Victor: Mm.

Adam: I, uh, did not pay her to say that.

Sally: Well, I mean, technically, you do pay me, but not for… that is how I genuinely feel.

Adam: Anyway, uh, things are going well. We should probably get down to business.

Victor: Could I have a word with you, adam, alone? Do you mind, sally?

Sally: Absolutely.

Victor: Thank you.

Adam: [ Clears throat ] What’s up?

Victor: I hope you remember that I asked you to keep an eye on ashland locke, okay?

Adam: I won’t let anything get by me. I know there’s a lot of agendas and power plays at work here.

Victor: Now, sally seems to be very good for you. I mean, you know, she is showering you with compliments.

Adam: Well, the respect is mutual. We have a lot in common. We both have taken our share of slings and arrows, dealt with people’s negative assumptions about us. Sally loves defying those expectations — something that i relate to well, so… anyway, she’ll be, uh, an asset to the executive team.

Victor: Good to know.

Adam: Will you excuse me?

Victor: You bet.

Victoria: I’m sorry. Sorry.

Ashland: Oh!

Victoria: Sorry to keep you waiting.

Ashland: No problem at all. I’ve been making the most of my waiting time this morning.

Victoria: Oh?

Ashland: Yes, trying to convince my friend here to turn in his white coat for a business suit.

Victoria: And?

Nate: I’m still not quite ready to turn in my stethoscope yet, but I must admit your husband is a master salesman.

Victoria: Well, yes, he is definitely used to getting what he wants. I feel sorry for people trying to resist his pull. But, you know, I would also feel bad for the patients and the administrative staff at memorial if you left.

Ashland: You know what? Just stop because you’re supposed to be on my side.

Victoria: [ Laughs ]

Ashland: You’re supposed to help me convince him and not give him counterarguments.

Victoria: Look, nate is my friend first and foremost. And you’re talking to him about a major career shift. I know he’s been a wonderful source of support and information for you, but I know that he could conquer any path that he chooses. It’s got to be the right path for you, though, right?

Nate: Mm.

Billy: You know, not to toot my own horn, but I think I might be onto something with these late-night musings, thinking about this idea that devon likes about starting my own podcast.

Lily: Yeah? Want to share your wit and wisdom with the world?

Billy: Yeah. I didn’t take it very serious in the beginning, mostly because i didn’t want to put myself out there. But your idea about doing it anonymously, taking on a persona, you know, changing the names, doing that whole thing — that is definitely one way to go about it. The other way would be me being me. I don’t have to talk about anything that’s not public knowledge, and if the purpose of it is to actually help people overcome adversity and challenges in their life, well, all my challenges, all my adversity — it’s already out there.

Lily: Yeah. No. True. Um…yeah. Look, I love that you’re really excited about this, and I know i encouraged you, but, um…

Billy: But? Come on. Give me the “but.”

Lily: [ Chuckles ] I just want to make sure that the podcast doesn’t take any time or energy away from your coo duties.

Jack: I hope I’m not interrupting.

Amanda: Uh, no, no, not at all. I was just catching up with phyllis about her trip to milan.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Amanda: I had some news that I wanted to share, but —

Phyllis: Oh, I’m sorry. Did you want to share something? I was just yammering on and on about italy.

Amanda: No.

Phyllis: Go. What’s going on?

Amanda: I just have a very interesting job offer on the table.

Phyllis: You do? Well, it must be interesting for you to even consider it. You just started a practice with your sister.

Amanda: Yeah. No. It is, indeed. Um… but, you know, my sister is on her way over here, so I’m gonna sit down and chat with her, and I will tell you all about it afterwards.

Phyllis: You’re gonna leave me hanging, are you?

Amanda: Yeah. Yeah, I am.

Phyllis: Great.

Amanda: But don’t worry. We’re gonna make a time. We’ll sit down. We’ll chat about everything. We have to catch up.

Phyllis: Alright.

Amanda: Bye.

Imani: Hi.

Phyllis: Hey. Tell me — have you received any more mysterious texts?

Jack: No, and I haven’t responded to the first. If someone’s playing games with me — and I suspect they are — I’m not up for it. Hello, how can I?

Nate: Thanks again for the coffee. I should get going.

Victoria: Oh, no. I hope I didn’t scare you off.

Nate: No, I got a late breakfast date with elena. I promised her a non-cafeteria meal.

Ashland: Listen, I really hope you’ll consider my offer. It wasn’t just idle talk.

Nate: I appreciate it, and i will give it some thought.

Ashland: Thank you.

[ Sighs ]

Victoria: So, why are you so intent on convincing nate to leave the medical field for one in business?

Ashland: I just think he’d be good at it. Besides, I get the feeling he’s frustrated and ready to move on.

Victoria: Well, I get that, but I know you, and there’s got to be more to it than that. There are tons of smart people out there with medical backgrounds that can do the same job that you want nate to do. In fact, some of them may be on staff already. So, why him?

Ashland: I’ve always subscribed to the theory that it’s best to surround yourself in business with allies. I trust nate implicitly.

Victoria: You feel like you need more allies now?

Ashland: I think you can never have too many people willing to look out for you.

Billy: Look, the beautiful thing about this podcast is that it only takes an hour out of my day. And the emotional release I get from it actually gives me more energy at work.

Lily: I know. I do like seeing this fire in your eyes.

Billy: Hey, I — i understand, you know, tapping into my subconscious can be a little bit scary, I think because it implies that you’re facing demons, but I have faced many demons over the years and i finally feel like I’m digging deep enough to find the goodness underneath all the trauma. And maybe that’s what it’s all for, everything I’ve been through — and the restless, sleepless nights that I’m going through now. You know, I’ve spent far too long looking at everything that is wrong in my life, and I’m finally seeing the things that are right and coming out of it on the other end. All that anger, the addiction, the bitterness. I feel whole, and I feel well. And I think that is the journey that people are gonna connect with.

Lily: Look, I do think that it’s a valuable experience to share. But what if I’m not ready to share my coo with the public?

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: Oh, please help yourself.

Sally: [ Laughs ] What am I doing? I got so caught up in spit-balling, I did not realize that I was…

Adam: You were stealing my breakfast in broad daylight.

Sally: [ Laughs ] I did not mean to be a food thief.

Adam: It’s fine. I don’t mind sharing. I could get used to it.

Sally: I’m actually not used to having such a big breakfast, so maybe I should sneak in a trip to the gym before I head back to the office to burn off some energy.

Adam: Yeah, I was — I was actually thinking the same thing. It’s very important to have a work-life balance, you know?

Sally: Mm-hmm. Yeah. I think I actually read something about that on one of newman media sites, that if you take a break and you get in some exercise, you’re actually way more productive when you get back to your desk.

Adam: You know what? I like a treadmill as much as the next guy, but I might have a better idea on how to get some cardio in.

Sally: Check, please!

Adam: [ Chuckles ]

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Unleash the freshness…

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Woman: I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Imani: Lily and billy want you to be chief counsel for chancellor industries? That’s huge.

Amanda: I know, right?

Imani: Um, yeah, but I’m kind of thrown you’re entertaining it. I mean, we just opened our own firm.

Amanda: That is exactly what I told them. And then they told me that there will be a place for you at the company, as well.

Imani: What role did they have in mind?

Amanda: Well, you’d be on the legal team — so, you can work in a specific department or you can continue to work directly under me.

Imani: That’s very generous.

Amanda: And billy and lily — they believe in me and you. And when they get behind something, they go all-in, so they just kept sweetening the deal.

Imani: [ Sighs ] Okay. Um, it’s tempting. I’m open to it. But the decision is really yours to make. So I think you need to ask yourself some hard questions. Or I can ask them.

Amanda: [ Scoffs ] Okay. Shoot, counselor.

Imani: Okay. Are you responding positively to the offer because it’s flattering to be asked?

Amanda: Well, that would be extremely superficial and short-sighted of me.

Imani: Mm. Are you playing it safe because you really don’t want to risk taking the chance of going solo? You said you were interested in trial work. Isn’t that why you left chanccomm? So, why would you be interested in going back to a corporate law job?

Phyllis: Jack, you have to be a little bit curious about the texts. I mean all of them — and the random address?

Jack: Actually, I’m not. I guess the question is, why are you?

Phyllis: Because it’s who i am. I am curious. Let me take a look at it. Please?

Jack: Uh…yeah, go ahead. I’m guessing you won’t stop bugging me about it.

Phyllis: No. Definitely not.

Amanda: Well, leaving chanccomm was more about giving me enough time to take down sutton. The legal work at chancellor industries — it would be incredibly varied and exciting. See, chanccomm — it was all media-related. Protecting sources, freedom of speech, libel cases. But heading up the legal department of a massive conglomerate — now, that would never get boring. Not to mention, billy and lily — they are great to work for. And the perks and the pay?

[ Clicks tongue ] Top notch. But most importantly, you and i will still be able to work together, and that is the reason why we wanted to go into private practice in the first place. So, I rest my case.

Sally: Oh, my god, it is like you have never done this before.

Adam: What? Got a key card to work?

Sally: Yeah. That.

Adam: Well, I’m just happy that we got a room despite phyllis’ ban on you being here.

Sally: Okay, well, you’re gonna be a lot happier in a few minutes if you don’t blown it now.

[ Lock whirs, disengages ]

[ Both breathing heavily ]

[ Both chuckle ]

Sally: [ Laughs ] Your dry skin story changes

[ Both breathing heavily ]

Sally: You were right. That was way better than the gym.

[ Both laugh ]

Adam: Wait. What did you say? That I was right? I think you should admit that more often.

Sally: I just did. So don’t get cocky.

[ Both laugh ]

[ Sighs ] Okay. Now that we have burned off some excess energy, I have a work-related question that we didn’t get to earlier.

Adam: Wait, should we put clothes on to talk business? Like, maybe we should make that a rule for us?

Sally: Since when do we follow the rules?

Adam: Yeah, that is a good point. Go ahead.

Sally: What was it that victor wanted to talk to you about privately?

Adam: It was, uh, just a family thing.

Sally: But with the newmans, family is business. Victor is watching over us like a hawk, and victoria is our boss, so as your coo, if there is trouble on the horizon, i would be more positioned to help you if I knew what could happen.

Adam: Did you just get me naked so you could pump me for information?

Sally: No. But you did give me a really good idea for next time. Trust is the basis of any good working relationship. You have to trust me with whatever is going on.

Adam: I get the feeling that ashland’s falling out of favor with victor. And my father asked me to keep my eyes open.

Sally: Well, ashland has always been a bit of an enigma to me, someone who always seems to be working an angle. So, are you gonna do what victor is asking — be a spy?

Nate: Thank you for letting me bend your ear about ashland’s job offer.

Elena: Of course. Anytime. And I understand why you might find it tempting to leave the hospital. I have a pile of papers waiting for me, too.

Nate: It’s not just that. The last few staff meetings have been downright contentious.

Elena: And you don’t think working for newman/locke would be contentious?

Nate: [ Sighs ]

Elena: I know you’re friends with ashland and victoria, but come on. They’re gonna lure you in with a big promise, and then they’re gonna definitely have a honeymoon phase, but you’re still gonna be working for the locke-ness monster. And you haven’t seen that side of him yet. Not to mention, victoria isn’t always the warmest person.

Nate: Okay. I see your point. I actually saw a little bit of a competitive dynamic between the two of them earlier.

Elena: And that could be a problem for you if you get caught in their crossfire.

Nate: Yeah, but on the other hand, if ashland’s big-picture talk is for real, think about all the good I could do.

Elena: Mnh, I don’t know. I feel like you need to think long and hard about this, if it’s something you’re seriously considering. Career-wise, it would be a life-changing decision. And you just made one of those. You sure you want to make another one?

Billy: Ah, what a surprise.

Imani: Hi, billy.

Billy: Hi.

Amanda: Well, I’m here with some news. Imani and I have talked, and we are excited to come on board chancellor industries, if the offer is still on the table.

Lily: Yes! It’s on the table! It is! Come on in.

Billy: Come in.

Amanda: Hey.

Imani: Hi.

Lily: Hi.

Amanda: So, I was just telling imani how incredible it is working with the two of you. You guys create a work environment that is vibrant and full of risk, so it keeps things challenging and exciting.

Billy: Yeah, I’m a little guilty of keeping things a little too exciting for the lawyers sometimes.

Lily: No, that’s behind us, though.

Billy: It is. It’s behind us. And, listen, we are in the groove. We have a really good handle on what we need to accomplish at chancellor, and we’re putting all our creative energy into making that a reality, of course because of our boss here and her steadfast leadership. Most importantly, the snacks are way better at chancellor.

Amanda: Oh, well, that is very good to know. But the question is, is there a ledge that we can scream off of when things get too stressful?

Lily: Oh, yeah.

Billy: Oh, we can make that happen for sure. Listen, we are so excited that you’re joining us, and I promise you it is not gonna be boring.

Amanda: With billy around, it never is.

Imani: Well, I appreciate the opportunity, and I plan on working my butt off.

Lily: Great. Well, I mean, if you’re chancellor’s two newest employees, then let’s, uh, get to work, yeah?

Amanda: Alright, let’s do it.

Lily: Alright. Sit, please. Um, as you know, we have a lot going on right now, right, including the partnership with hamilton-winters. So I think maybe we should start on creating a template for our agreements of the work that we’re gonna do with our creative teams.

Amanda: Okay, we can get working on that today. But my initial thought is it should all be work-for-hire so that we own the I.P.

Lily: Well, actually, I’ve done some research, and i disagree.

[ Laughs ] I think it’s counter to our mission to own our creatives’ intellectual property, so I’d love to create a template that can kind of be a win-win situation for both sides.

Amanda: Okay. Got it.

Lily: Yeah?

Amanda: I look forward to coming up with some options for you to consider. We will work on that today. See? I told you that this job would keep us on our toes.

Amanda: Wow. I mean, did we just join chancellor industries?

Imani: Mm-hmm. Oh, it happened. Now we have to figure out how to get out of our office lease.

Amanda: And find a few lawyers to take over the cases that we have right now.

Imani: [ Sighs ] This is a big move. But I feel good about it.

Amanda: So do I. It feels right.

Imani: Mm-hmm. And I wouldn’t have this opportunity if it weren’t for you, so thank you.

Amanda: Oh, come on. You have more than proven yourself as a sound, talented, legal mind, okay? I would not have asked you to start a firm with me if that wasn’t the case.

Imani: Mm-hmm. Can I ask you something personal?

Amanda: Of course. We’re family.

Imani: Is there some sort of history between you and billy?

Amanda: What would make you think that?

Imani: I just thought i picked up on a dynamic earlier.

Amanda: Billy and I are just friends…

Imani: [ Laughs ]

Amanda: …Who helped each other through some rough patches.

Imani: Mm, well, he seems like a very interesting person.

Amanda: Mm.

Imani: I’m guessing this next chapter is going to be quite a ride.

Amanda: Huh. With billy involved, you can count on that.

Billy: Well, I would say we really bolstered the chancellor team, adding amanda and imani. Good job.

Lily: Thank you. I couldn’t agree more.

Billy: And I love the way you handled the content agreement between hamilton-winters on the joint venture — fantastic.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Billy: Feels like any worries that you had about not being able to do this job are long gone.

Lily: Yeah. I got to say, I’m feeling confident.

Billy: Good.

Lily: You know? I think I have this. And it feels pretty damn good.

Billy: Yeah. Well, it looks pretty damn good on you.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Adam: I definitely let my father believe that I was ready and willing to report back to him. But am I actually going to do it? Um…I don’t know. A part of it bothers me, playing my father’s game.

Sally: ‘Cause it undermines your position. It makes it seem like you wouldn’t be in charge of newman media if you weren’t doing victor’s bidding.

Adam: Exactly. And I resent him for that. Because I’m not a chess piece in his game with victoria and ashland. I mean, I earned my ceo title, and I earned the power that goes with it.

Sally: Well, you need to look out for yourself first… because that’s exactly what your father and your sister would do, right?

Adam: Right.

Sally: Don’t freak out… but I get you.

Adam: Who’s freaking out?

Victoria: I hope that you consider me an ally.

Ashland: Of course I do. I always will. But we both know victor is up to something.

Victoria: I don’t disagree. I ran into him earlier at society, and I was very surprised to find out that he actually supports sally as coo, after I gave him plenty of ammunition to give adam a hard time about it. But he was all smiles when sally and adam walked in to present her fabulous ideas about newman media.

Ashland: I wonder what his play is.

Victoria: Other than keeping us guessing, I have no idea. But I intend to find out.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Victor: Well, now, michael baldwin, how the hell are you?

Michael: Ah, the country’s beautiful. The cuisine is — mmm! — Delicious. The people are friendly.

Victoria: I don’t remember sending you to peru on a vacation.

Michael: Uh, I know how to make my job fun. I just got to enjoy this amazing meal with a very talkative doctor who recently left his job at — wait for it — the same clinic where ashland received his miracle treatment.

Victor: Why did he leave?

Michael: Well, he was fired for questioning some of the decisions his bosses made.

Victor: Did he tell you anything about ashland locke?

Michael: He remembered him clearly. Uh, he said there was a story about the treatment and his condition, one he would happily tell me in great detail for a price.

Victor: So, what are you waiting for?

Michael: So, I have your authorization to pay this gentleman a fee for his services?

Victor: You bet. You pay him anything he wants. Have that man talk on the record about ashland locke. I need incontrovertible proof about locke’s deception. Alright?

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Lily: If you are thinking of making this change, I would love to offer an alternative. Why don’t you come work with me at chancellor?

Chance: You did it again.

Devon: What’d I do?

Chance: You saved dominic when I couldn’T.

Phyllis: Somebody has been sending jack cryptic messages, trying to get him to come to los angeles. We’re not really sure, but we’re starting to think that chemo has something to do with it.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

you don’t look too much worse for the wear. Please don’t say that prison is agreeing with me. No. Never. But it doesn’t seem to have hurt you too much, either. Well, there’s a heat wave going on, and there’s no a/c in my cell. Maybe as mayor you could pull some strings. That’s actually a state-levelissue, but I’ll do what I can. Tell me — how are you really doing? As much as I’d like to spin some awful tale of woe, other than being bored and restless… I’m doing fine. My uncle victor is looking out for me. That’s what I was afraid of. Ava: Ohh. Is it hot in here or is it me? Oh, it’s you. Well, focus. We have a lot to do before our vow renewal. Even a small ceremony takes planning. Well, not to mention the vows themselves. Mm! I’ve decided I’m not gonna write any. So you’re gonna wing it? Yeah, I’m just gonna be spontaneous and say whatever’s in my heart at the moment. Why? Are you planning a big speech about love and obsession and eternity? I mean, I wouldn’t say that, but, uh…

[ Laughs ] I can’t wait. I’m sure even at your most cassadine-esque, you won’t be too much over the top. I want it to be poetic. Poetic? Like, um… …”there once was a girl named jerome who made spoon island her home.”

[ Both laugh ] How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach. I love thee with the breath, smiles, tears of all my life. And if… and if god chooses, I shall love thee better after death. So, what spinelli says is that the bug that we planted on victor didn’t malfunction. Verdammt! I knew it. Do you think maybe victor just found the bug and destroyed it? At least it worked long enough for us to overhear that he has plans to use drew cain. Right, but we’re still no closer to finding out where peter took maxie. Hey. Maybe you’re not, but drew is. And he brought backup. -Thank you. -Yeah. Come in. Hey. Agent muller: All of our resources are at your disposal. Great. I-I want to assure you that apprehending peter august, A.K.A. Henrik faison, is our highest priority. Great. And thank you so much, agent muller. Agent krieger? Yes. Um, everyone is aware that my colleagues, dante falconeri and drew cain, they have full clearance, yeah? Yeah, yeah. They have. Mr. Falconeri, it’s so good to see you’re recovering from your ordeal in ankara. Oh, good. You, uh — you know about that, too, huh? Of course. Hm. And, mr. Cain, any knowledge you have from your captivity with peter august would be of great use to us. Anything I can do to help. Of course. And you say that you interviewed the woman that found maxie’s S.O.S. On the mirror in the restroom? Yeah, we did. She was able to identify the photo of the hostage. Surveillance video captured an image of the car with two passengers. We also have a license plate. Oh, that’s great. Thank you. Well, with any luck, we’re one step closer to finding maxie. I hope. I do not think that this is a good idea for you to come with us on this search for maxie and peter. I just don’T. Why not? Brook lynn and chase are looking after louise and spinelli has georgie and james. Well, what about mac? He has robert. Maxie is my daughter. I need to see this through. Yeah, I understand that. But this could get dangerous, you know? This is not my first rodeo.

[ Sighs ] Wow. Yeah. I — I get it. What’s that? Um, why you felt safe here when you were a boy. This house is like one big architectural hug. Aptly put.

[ Inhales deeply ] Yes, I do love it here, out in the middle of nowhere. And since no one cared about me or my childhood, no one will ever associate me with this place, which makes it the perfect refuge. No one will ever find us here.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Thank you. Oh! I gave trina your gift. Did she like it? Oh, she loved it!

[ Laughs ] Good to know. Yeah. You got very good taste in friends. There is a lovely young lady. I agree. Trina is awesome. But if you can trust my judgment about her, can you also trust my feelings about uncle victor? Trina’s a very good person. Your uncle victor, on the other hand… I know that you have a low opinion of him. Spencer… your uncle victor is responsible for countless abductions and deaths, and let us not forget that he and his father and his brothers had a plan to take over the world by using that giant diamond, the ice princess, to mess with the weather patterns to freeze the world. All I know is that if it hadn’t been for uncle victor, I would be in pentonville. You know something?

[ Chuckling ] If you can find the good in — in victor… why can’t you find the good in your own father? Elizabeth barrett browning. The way she could turn passion into poetry is unparalleled. You know, you surprise me, victor. I thought you would have been more of a sophocles fan. Ooh! Oh-ho, I am! But…sophocles couldn’t write a love story to save his life, whereas me, well, I’m an incurable romantic. Yeah, as a matter of fact, one of my hobbies is collecting romantic poetry. First editions, original letters. Actually, did you know that, even today, if you were to acquire a genuine first hand epistle, you could find a lock of the author’s hair enclosed within? Better to clone them with, huh? Ooh. Sharp as a dagger, this one. You married well, my boy. But, ava, you, um — your assumptions about me are a little outdated. Yeah, the most valuable lesson I learned as head of the wsb was authoritarianism leads to admin. Not so much fun. What a relief. Yeah, so, even though I no longer wish to control the world, I am still determined to save it. Preferably one life at a time. Hm, starting with your former co-conspirator peter august? Peter august betrayed me in greece. Why on earth would I want to help him? He couldn’t have escaped alone. Well, good riddance is what I say. Everybody wants him dead. “Gone forever” will suffice. It’s too bad he took maxie with him. But you wouldn’t know anything about that, would you, uncle? Dante and drew are with anna in zurich. They have a lead on peter. If we find peter, we find maxie. Hopefully. Don’t assume it will be that easy. Despite anna’s effort to apprehend him, peter has slipped through her grasp at every turn. Not to mention the possibility that drew may still be under peter’s influence.

Nein. If there’s any hope of catching and killing peter, I need to go to zurich myself. Uh, no, you don’T. As if you could stop me. By going after a homicidal fugitive, you are endangering yourself and others. Involuntary commitment to the psych ward for 72 hours. Boom. You would abuse your power that way? To protect you from peter and yourself? Yes, I would. I’m impressed by your willingness to pretzel the rules and touched by your concern, and yet, I am still going.

[ Scoffs ] Try it, and I will harpoon you with a spear gun. Again. The suspect was last tracked heading into the jura mountains. Okay. So, unfortunately, there are so many small winding roads there, I-it makes it difficult to search. Could he get back on the autobahn and — and head for the border? Well, every border crossing is on the lookout for them. And they could just ditch that car and find another one. O-or they could probably hike, right? Yeah, unfortunately, it’s very possible for them to cross the border into france on foot. And since switzerland is such a small country and… in other words, we are running out of breadcrumbs. I think you’ll find it’s quiet here. It’s peaceful, maxie. And this place is equipped with everything we could ever want. We can live here together peacefully and comfortably without ever having to see anyone, except the caretaker. You really think it’s possible for us to just “disappear”? Well, this property’s private. It’s — it’s isolated. None of our family and friends or colleagues have any idea about it. And if I’m wrong, I have an escape plan all set.

I washed my hands of peter august back in crete. But let’s not waste time on him, not when we’re planning a family celebration. Actually, nikolas and I decided to keep our vow renewal a very private affair. We won’t need anybody, in fact, but the two of us. Oh. Well, I do hope you’ll change your mind. Especially as I’ve already picked out the perfect gift. Thanks, but no thanks. Well, I’m not one to turn down a faberge egg. Even if it’s stolen? Depends where from.

[ Chuckles ] Actually, I was thinking of something a lot more valuable. Such as? A reunion. Between you and your son. Spencer: My father. When I think about

[Clears throat] How close we were when I was a kid… what happened to that guy? I know you feel that your father abandoned you. He pretended that he was dead. It did not only “feel” like my father abandoned me. He did abandon me. Okay. Okay. But, spencer, you have punished him for that, many times. Both he and ava. I hate ava. I know that you probably find that a strong word, but trust me, it’s not. And as angry as I am at ava for breaking her promise to me and letting valentin off the hook, my father did far worse. No. Your father never did anything as bad as victor. Never. My dad is the reason that britt was a fugitive for years. He married hayden and then turned against her. One by one, he has systematically removed the people who I care most about from my life. And who does he keep? Ava. Ava. And, sure, uncle victor, he may be far from perfect.

[ Scoffs ] Did you not hear the part about world domination? Well, at least he puts his family first. Oh, spencer. A lot of evil has been done in the name of the “family.” All I know is that I feel safe in here knowing that victor cassadine has my back. I should be going. I understand. You have a city to run.

[ Sighs ] Just remember your father told you that you are not alone. And you said when you come out that you would be willing to s– I said maybe. That’s a start. I love you. Britta, this is no time to stay on the sidelines. Maxie’s life is at stake. W-wait. Hold on. Even if you were able to get access to a private jet, zurich is at least eight and a half hours away. Who knows where peter and maxie would be by then? You’re in touch with detective falconeri, right? Yeah, but it’s not like he keeps me posted on his every move. Well, isn’t somebody keeping tabs on victor? Dr. Gatlin-holt is just grasping at straws. If victor is involved, you need to tell us what you know. Okay. So… yeah, well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. What did you do? Planted a bug on victor cassadine. So, maxie left one earring with louise when she and peter dropped her at the firehouse. And the other one she left where she wrote her plea for help on the mirror in the restroom. So obviously she’s actively trying to leave a trail for us. But unfortunately, point “a” and point “b” are two different continents and an ocean apart. I mean, really, it’s kind of amazing peter didn’t find that message in the restroom. Right. If maxie’s trail has led us as far as it can, we got to start thinking like peter. Okay. Yeah. No, you’re right. So, these mountains, they offer peter any number of choices where he could hide. So, this place is difficult to find but easy to leave? Let’s just say I always find my way out, maxie. And if we ever need, it’s a short trip to the autobahn and then to the borders. Which border? Please say italy or france. This place was once a sanctuary to me. And now it’s our refuge. And in time, I believe you’ll come to see it as our home. I can already see it now. You and — and me and our little… what? Peter, why are you looking at me like that? What happened to your earrings? Smooth dark chocolate, refreshing peppermint, enter york mode. Rich chocolate candy and creamy caramel. That’s how you rolo. I have a secret. I’m done settling. Because this is my secret. No really! I put it on once… no more touch-ups! Because this stick actually works! Secret had ph balancing minerals; and it helps eliminate odor, instead of just masking it. So no more t-rex waves or covering up stinky pits when you’re not cold. Pull it in close. Just trust me. Secret works. Need a cleanser that does more?New and improved cetaphil cleansers are specially formulated with our dermatologist-backed blend of ingredients to reinforce your skin’s moisture barrier. Cetaphil. Complete care for your sensitive skin. If you really wantto help heal the rift between my son and me, uncle, you’ll respect our boundaries and you’ll leave us to heal on our own. Yes, well, I’ve been doing exactly that for some time, and I haven’t noticed a lot of progress. I mean, ever since that poor boy got back to port charles, he’s been bounced from place to place. Spencer has made his own choices. Yes, he has. There’s no denying that. But one choice he didn’t make are his current surroundings — prison. But he did, though. They’re called consequences. How to explain… ava, do you — do you really want to cast yourself as the wicked stepmother, hmm? Locking the mischievous little prince up in the tower? I gave that little prince every opportunity to make amends, and he has been unrepentant. So this is how you’re planning to retaliate? By denying him a place at your renewal celebration, a place in your lives? That’s what you want for your stepson? Keep him looking in on his own family from afar? Oh, come on. Ava, you must agree. It’s incumbent on the adults to make the first gesture of reconciliation. Look, if nikolas won’t listen to me, maybe he’ll listen to you. My son doesn’t need your help, victor, and neither does spencer. How can you be so sure? I’ve just come from spring ridge. Laura, please, do sit. I’m fine. How’s spencer doing? Better than anyone could have imagined because someone is looking after him on the inside. Why am i not surprised? What, like, another inmate or guard? What? At least one guard. Anything to add? If I have taken steps to ensure my great-nephew’s safety, then I really can’t see any harm in that. But I’m gonna leave you all to your lunch. Perhaps you ladies can talk some reason into nikolas where I can’t, for spencer’s sake. Yuck! I thought he’d never leave. Well, I… I hate to be the one to say this, but… I think uncle victor has a point. So, on paper, the plan made a lot of sense. I threaten victor, and then your mom swooped into his rescue and planted a bug on his lapel. And did it work? It did. We were able to overhear an entire conversation he was having with a certain johann — clearly a henchman of some sort. And what did they say? Well, victor wants to find peter as much as we do. Did he give you, like, some sort of clue or lead, something that can tell us where peter’s taken maxie? No. The bug was destroyed. Great. So victor knows you’re onto him. Oh, my god.

[ Scoffs ] Did it occur to either of you that instead of victor leading you to peter and maxie you may have just tipped him off? Zurich! Of course. Of course, what? Isn’t it obvious? What if peter’s just hiding in plain sight? Playing tourist? There are plenty of places the suspect and the hostage could hole up. Public places where people still expect privacy. That way, nobody’s gonna notice if they stay in. Yeah, plenty of tourist towns with attractions. Like, off– off-beat attractions? We have so many. There are castles, museums, nature trails. There’s even an old salt mine that’s now a museum and a — and a boutique. A salt mine? What? What are you thinking? Maybe peter’s telling us where he’s going in his own words.

[ Scoffs ] Think. What was that place called? I’m so sorry I can’t be at the wedding. I completely understand. I just hope maxie can forgive me. Oh, felicia, I’m sure she already has. We both understand your — your great-aunt is very ill, and if she didn’t mean the world to you, then you wouldn’t be traveling all the way to… agua dulce. It’s so small, it’s not even a town. It’s just a census-designated place. Hmm. It sounds charming. Oh, it is. Maxie should bring you to visit some time. It’ll give you a sense of scale.

[ Chuckles ] You’re such a city boy. Well, not always. In fact, my favorite place on earth is in the swiss alps, miles away from anywhere. Swiss alps. Where? Are you really worried about my earrings? You’re never without them. And yet here you are. Yeah, well, I noticed on the plane that I had lost one, probably in the mad rush out of port charles when we had to leave our daughter. And since it’s just some random costume jewelry, I threw out the other one. Oh, it doesn’t matter. It’s only diamonds and rubies for you from here on out. I really don’t care about jewelry. I just want my children to be safe. I miss our daughter, too, maxie. We just… we just have to give it some time. You know? Let the trail go cold. So all those agencies and my enemies find themselves discouraged. And then one day, when it’s safe, we can bring louise to us. And in the meantime, if the worst should ever happen and we’re discovered, I’m prepared.

Ava, you have to realize my uncle’s offer to broker peace between spencer and me is intended to achieve exactly the opposite. But if he succeeds where we have failed? He will have ingratiated himself to the whole family and indoctrinated spencer to his cause. And victor’s cause is gonna be far worse than anything spencer has ever done to us. Oh, absolutely. Victor is devious, ava, in a very deadly way. He’s far more dangerous than spencer could ever be. And the fact that we’re sitting here discussing that means that we’re onto him. I mean, we’ll see him coming a mile away. And if — if we play along, he may reveal his agenda. It’s still a risk. It would be a mistake to underestimate my uncle. I don’t think we’re doing that, though. There is an alternative, one that could reunite you with your son and undercut victor at the same time. What’s that? Swallow your pride. You go visit your son at spring ridge. You seem well, all things considered. Ah, well, let’s just say that whoever calls this place a country club has never actually been to one.

[ Chuckles ] I assume samuel is keeping an eye on you. Yeah, I’m well protected. I know that I have you to thank for that, and believe me, I am grateful. Even though your grandmother considers me a bad influence? Are you? Well, to be completely honest, she — I’ve given her very little reason to think otherwise. And listen, if — if my concern for your well-being is — is making things harder for you — it’s n– it’s not. Other than my grandmother, you’re the one person that I can count on. Hm. Really? Well, I find that a little hard to believe. What about — what about the lovely esme? I think that, uh, my being stuck here may be putting a strain on esme’S…devotion. Oh. I’m sure it’s just a lovers’ spat. The ups and downs of life, as they say. Listen, after all, she blew up a car for you. Now, if that isn’t devotion, I don’t know what is. Well, when you put it like that. And as for your grandmother, look, um… the last thing I want to do is get between you and family. You are my family. They may want me to forget that, but I won’T. Whatever you think is obvious, does it have something to do with where peter’s taken maxie? That’s the obvious part. I know where to find her. Great. Are you gonna share? I can’t waste my time explaining. I need to contact anna. Peter wrote this novel, right? I-it’s called “severed branch.” Oh, yeah, there’s a copy with the other background materials. Okay. So, basically, the whole book is an allegory for his childhood. And in it, I-I seem to remember that he — he refers to working in the salt mines. That’s a common expression. Right. I know. But in this book, the character sort of refers to the salt mines with affection. So you’re saying that’s where he took maxie? Oh, I don’t know. It’s just —

[ Cellphone rings ] Hang on. Sorry. It’s liesl.

[ Cellphone rings ] Shall I? Okay. Yeah. What’s going on? Salt mines. Find the salt mines, and you’ll find peter and maxie. Salt mines. Yeah, that’s what we’re just figuring out. There are three salt mines in the country. Two up here near basel and the one I mentioned near bex. Okay. That’s a pretty large area we’re looking at. I-is there any way that you can narrow down the search for us, liesl? Did peter ever mention the farm? What farm? Where he became the man he is today. What was the name? Peter said it. It was…v-something. Vuh– oh, yes, it’s this quaint, picturesque farm tucked away from the world. The closest place is a tiny, little remote village miles away from anywhere. If it were any tinier, it’d be a census-designated place.

[ Laughs ] What’s it called?

Versteckte weise. Ah! [ Chuckles ] That’s, uh, quite a mouthful. Oh, it’s german for “hidden meadow.” Peter, can you put that away? You don’t need that right now. Of course. Of course. I’m — I’m sure you don’t mind if I keep it handy, though, right? Whatever you think is necessary. I appreciate your faith in me. I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic. Not that i could blame you. You know, there’s something I’ve been struggling with for a while. I’ve spent so much time being angry with you, and the whole time you’ve just said, you love me and you’ve been doing everything for me and for louise. I didn’t believe you. A-and I was wrong. You were willing to leave louise behind at that firehouse, a child you’ve been longing to hold and — and care for. That’s not selfish. That’s the opposite. That’s

when I realized that loveis what’s driving you. I mean, your love is the kind of love we can build our lives around. You know, it’s not gonna be easy. But one day, louise and georgie and james, they’re gonna be with us. And I just have to live and hope for that day. No matter what.

I’m not sure spencer’s gonna be open to me visiting him. You’re his father, nikolas. You have to try. As angry as I have been with spencer, I urge you to repair your relationship with him. You know what I would give for that chance with kiki. Yeah. You’re right. I’ll reach out. Good. Well, go. Hurry up. I think we can all guess where victor was going when he left here. Straight back to spring ridge to be sure that I didn’t turn spencer against him. And if victor’s already put his plan in motion to reunite spencer and me? Look, if his scheming and plotting ends up bringing the two of you together, then I’m all for it. I mean, aren’t you? I’ll give it a shot. Good. You won’t regret this. Nikolas: Alright. I’m proud of you. Thanks. Mm. Giving uncle victor a pass, are we? For now. Laura collins, what are you up to? Good. Yes. Uh, thanks for the update. Everything alright? Yes, everything is splendid, except for one thing. Uh, I have to run. I appreciate the time. You’re a busy man. Oh, nonsense. You’re family. Well, likewise. Well, thank you. And that is — is why I am — I want you to know I’m doing everything I can to change. Well, at least to change people’s perception of me. Despite what people think, all I want is what’s best for my family. I just wish grandmother would give you a chance. Oh, well, you leave laura to me. You just keep your eyes on the prize — your freedom and your future. I’ll try. And when you leave this place, I want you to — to walk out with your head held high. Big things are in the wind, my boy. And we’re gonna need to stick together as a family. That includes you and your father. My father — is a cassadine. The future belongs to us, spencer. And you? You’re the heir to all that. And more. There was a youth camp where peter spent his school holidays when he was a child. Find that farm, and you’ll find peter. Then do what you have to do to bring maxie home. Thank you, liesl. Who knew this dreck could be a road map? If it’s an allegory, though, how clear are the directions in there? I-I don’t know. I mean, there is a farm in here, and from what I remember, it was close to the oldest salt mine. Okay. Yeah. The one near bex here. Okay. In the book, peter refers to it as a place that was filled with all kinds of animals. And children. You’re right, maxie. We’ll make this place a real home for our whole family. Somehow I don’t see mac and felicia understanding, but if there’s anything you’ve proven to me, it’s that there’s nothing you can’t make happen. I try.

[ Sighs ] And this place, it’s really well-equipped. But we should still make a list of — of personal items and request things that we might want for gustav, the caretaker, to get for us in the village. Does this village have a name?

Versteckte weise.

Versteckte weise? Close enough.

[ Chuckles ] It’s so small, it only appears on the local maps. Might be considered a census-designated place. Oh, well, I can’t wait to see it. When you trust me enough. I know you’ll love it. If you want to familiarize yourself with the area, there — there are some paper maps in the cabinet. The gps signal, it’s pretty spotty out here. Oh, I’m not looking to get a signal. I just want to get used to my new surroundings. Ooh! It’s kind of cold in here. Well, I-I could go turn the heat up. Or, actually, I’ll — I’ll work on building us a fire. How’s that? I’d really like that. Since I left for college, my dad has gotten back into some of his old hobbies.

[ Fan humming ] Is there nothing that anyone can do about the a/c in here? This is a government facility. Even your uncle can only swing so much. Anything’s possible, right? Who knows — maybe my family and i will one day learn to get along. Victor is definitely bending over backwards to try to impress and win over spencer. And that can only mean one thing — that he’s gonna use him. Do you have any idea what he’s planning? No. But i will find out.

[ Exhales deeply ] Ugh, good god. Feels like santorini in the middle of an eruption. Ah! Hephaestus himself would feel quite at home.

[ Exhales deeply ] Ah. Johann. I’m impressed. I didn’t think you would be amenable to this kind of climate. I can handle the heat. Yeah, well, the question is, can peter august? Our man reports that anna devane has arrived overseas with detective falconeri and drew cain. Then our man needs to solve this problem right now. I want peter august dead. Is that understood? Completely. Good. Oh, and tell our man that anna and dante are expendable. If they get in the way, he shouldn’t hesitate to eliminate them. But drew cain… he’s much too valuable to me to lose. Okay, so — uh, dr. Gatlin-holt. I believe you have rounds. I suggest you get back to them. Helping to find maxie is not interfering with my patient care. But it might be interfering with finding maxie. Let the professionals do their job. We’ll keep you posted. Hey, austin. You don’t have to worry. Dante, drew, and anna, they will bring maxie home. I hope you’re right. Dr. Obrecht: I share your faith, ms. Mccall, but I must remind you that at one point or another, that schwein henrik has outmaneuvered us all, myself included. Which is not easy to do. If peter really is “the severed branch” from cesar’s poisoned tree, believe me — he will not go down without a fight. Well, if the book is any indication at all, the farm should be located somewhere here in the mountains. Okay. Right. Well, what do you think?

[ Cellphone rings ] Drew: I think… krieger. Our mutual friend would like to know — have you located the gentleman? Let’s just say I know how to find him. Just do what you have to do. Any additional instructions? Devane and falconeri are expendable. Drew cain must not be harmed. That complicates things. You’re paid to handle complications. Get it done. Peter is so arrogant that he will not be able to resist trying to prove that he’s one step ahead of us. And he has left us a clue, one that he thinks only he knows, and it will link him to the farm, and that’s what we have to find. Flight attendant:

Attention, passengers.

The captain has turned the “fasten seatbelts” light on

as we begin our final descent

into zurich. Planning a hike? Oh, um, I was actually thinking that we could take a walk and, you know, talk some more. What a lovely idea. But I’m afraid it’ll have to wait till tomorrow. It’s getting dark soon. That’s when the wolves come out.

Steffy: Brooke betrayed you yet again. How many times has it been? Why do you put yourself through this? There is no reason, not with mom standing right here. She loves you. You should see this as an opportunity. Mom is back. Make a life with her. Make a life with a family you never should’ve left behind.

Hope: Ridge sho

Liam: Yeah, well, he’s going to be talking to her soon, whether he likes it or not.Dgisvethere. Who knows? My mom could show up to an empty house.

Liam: I don’t know, she seemed pretty confident he would be there.

Hope: Well, he better be because the sooner the two of them work through that, the better.

Brooke: Why aren’t you letting me through? Ridge is my husband. I have every right to.

Thomas: He doesn’t want to see you right now.

Brooke: Did he say that?

Thomas: He didn’t have to. After what you did to him?

[ Brooke sighing ] Yes, brooke. I know all about what you did with deacon.

Brooke: I was drinking, thomas.

Thomas: That’s not an excuse.

Brooke: I know, I know, that’s not an excuse. I love your father. I love the life that we have together.

Thomas: Sure. So why not just throw it away for one drunken night with deacon?

Brooke: It’s not something that I wanted.

Thomas: Sure, it is. Otherwise, why make out with deacon? Why take the first step?

Brooke: I keep asking myself that same question: Why did I start drinking in the first place?

Sheila: I still can’t believe you let ridge let you do this to you.

Deacon: Well, with brooke there I didn’t have much of a choice.

Sheila: So she got to see you as the victim and ridge as the bully aggressor? I suppose that could work.

Deacon: I’m not trying to work anything. I just knew it would hurt her a whole lot less if it hurt me. Actually, I’m not so sure about that now, but that’s why I stopped fighting.

Sheila: Even with all the horrible things that he was saying about you.

Deacon: I mean, you should have heard him. He actually thinks I targeted brooke. Yeah, that I spiked her drink. You know, she picked up that damn bottle all by herself.

Liam: I know it’s hard, but try not to worry. Your mom knows what she’s doing.

Hope: I want to believe that, but I don’t know. It already feels like their marriage is ending. I mean, ridge making assumptions, coming to blows with my dad and my mom drinking again and why–

Liam: Are you about to do that thing where you start blaming yourself? Because if so, don’T. Even if they do split up because of– you know what? They’re not, they’re not going to split up, okay? Your mom is over there. They’re talking it out. They’re not going to let this thing come between them.

Thomas: Does it really matter why you drank, brooke? I don’t think so. I’m not letting you in to see my father.

Brooke: Fine, then he can come out. He’s going to want to talk.

Thomas: Okay.

[ Phone ringing ]

Thomas: Oh, ah yeah. That’s right.

Brooke: You’re the reason why he hasn’t been calling me back?

Thomas: Turn around brooke. It’s time for you to go.

Taylor: Steffy, I appreciate everything that you’ve said. I really do. And I know how much you– you want your father to finally find peace, but… you’re putting too much pressure on him.

Steffy: No, I’m trying to do the opposite. I’m trying to take the pressure away. You get that right?

Taylor: No, but you– do you get that, that your father is going through so much as it is? I–I don’t want any of this to be overwhelming for you. It’s complicated enough.

Steffy: And that right there, mom, is exactly why you are the woman for him. Do you hear her? Do you hear how much she cares? She is willing to put you first. Brooke would never do that. She’s never done that. Dad, please tell me you’ve opened your eyes. Your future is right here. It’s standing right in front of you. Frontline plus is the #1 name in flea and tick protection.

Hope: I hate that ridge thinks that my dad came up with some evil plan to get my mom drunk.

Liam: Uh, yeah– I mean, I kind of get it though. Ridge was already highly suspicious of deacon. And then, the one night– the one night he’s out of town, this stuff goes down? It’s like.

Hope: I know how it looks, liam, but I believe my dad and my mom does too.

Liam: Yeah. Well, that’s kind of the problem. I mean, your mom believes deacon, she’s defending deacon. Ridge can’t handle that and that’s why we’re in this situation.

Hope: Well, it wasn’t just that. My mom relapsed that night. Her judgment was impaired. And I still don’t understand why, after all those years of sobriety, why– why she had to give in to temptation.

Sheila: Of course, brooke drank on her own. Ridge really thinks that– that you caused it somehow?

Deacon: Yeah.

Sheila: What, like you spiked brooke’s drink? And–and how did you pull that off?

Deacon: Who the hell knows? Probably thinks I was sneaking around with a flask, just waiting for my opportunity.

Sheila: Yeah, but ridge is even smart enough to know that–that brooke would taste a difference in her drink if you did something like that.

Deacon: Exactly. This guy is so blinded by his hatred for me– he doesn’t want to hear the truth. He doesn’t know who I am. I would never do something like that to brooke. I mean, come on? Spike an alcoholic’s drink? Who would do something that cruel?

Sheila: Who…indeed?

Brooke: I can’t believe you’re doing this! Taking his phone!

Thomas: He needs time, brooke. And if you’re not willing to give him that–

Brooke: He needs time with me, time with his wife, time to work through this–

Thomas: Not happening.

Brooke: Do you really think you can keep me away from my husband?

Thomas: I have to keep you away from your husband because guess what? You always do this. You always hurt him and then you have tears and your excuses at the ready. Save it for the next guy.

Brooke: The next guy?

Thomas: Yes, brooke, because he’s in there. He’s with a family that cares about him with a woman who actually cares about him. My mother is his future. It’s time for you to accept that.

Steffy: I’ll get out of your way and let you two talk.

Taylor: No, you don’t have to, honey.

Steffy: But I do, mom. This could be the most important conversation you’ll ever have. And mom, please be honest with dad. Tell him how you really feel. Because it matters. And dad, listen.

Ridge: Yes. Please listen to mom. This is the woman who you deserve. You know that. You always have.

Taylor: Doesn’t matter how old they are, kids just want their parents together?

Ridge: You know, I– I remember how I felt when my parents found their way back to each other. And not just me. Thorne. Felicia, kristen, they were… were beaming like little kids. I’m sure steffy and thomas would feel the same.

Taylor: There’s no pressure here, ridge. From any of us, okay? I just want what’s best for you. And you’re the only one that knows what that is.

Sheila: I can’t see ridge and brooke lasting much longer. I mean, how many times does he have to walk out on her before he finally gives up? I don’t know. I think it could be the end of an era.

Deacon: Anything’s possible.

Sheila: And then what? You finally get your big chance with brooke. This fairy tale reconciliation?

Deacon: I’ll be there for her. Whatever she needs.

Sheila: I bet you will be. And if for some reason she turns you down, I can always give you something that she never could.

Deacon: Ah– watch it, please.

Sheila: Oh, I’ll be watching, all right.

Brooke: You really think your mother is ridge’s future?

Thomas: Is it that hard to imagine? Someone who actually values him, someone who respects him enough to not go off and sleep with the guy he hates most in the world?

Brooke: Okay, fine. I’m a horrible person and I don’t deserve ridge. I never have and I never will. Do you know how many years I’ve heard that, thomas? Before you were even born. But it doesn’t matter to ridge or to me because we know that we belong together, no matter how many hurdles are–

Thomas: Sleeping with deacon is not a hurdle!

Brooke: I really need to talk to my husband. Just get out of my way.

Thomas: No.

Brooke: You think you can stop me?

Thomas: What’re you gonna do? Gonna push me off the cliff again? So far as I remember, that didn’t score too many points for you last time.

Brooke: I am never giving up on ridge. Never.

Ridge: I know there’s no pressure from you. I know that. And I appreciate it. I’m very thankful for it. But what I could really use is some insight from someone that I trust very much. Steffy told me what she thought about my relationship with brooke and I… I would like to have your honest opinion.

Taylor: Brooke isn’t worthy of you. I don’t think she ever has been.

Ridge: Wow. But why– why would you say that?

Taylor: There are so many reasons. But the main one is… her pattern of turning to other men. Um, “following her heart,” as–as she likes to say, which is incredibly disrespectful of you and your marriage. She doesn’t seem to have much regard for your feelings. Or most people’s really. She does what she wants when she wants. And she’s learned that if she does get caught, all she has to do is cry. Beg for forgiveness. Claims she takes full responsibility and everything will just go back to normal like it never happened, so.

Ridge: I asked for honesty and you gave it to me.

Taylor: I can– I can stop.

Ridge: I don’t want you to stop. It’s important that I hear it. It’s just not easy.

Taylor: The truth is never easy when you have to hear it about someone you really want to believe in. And for you, that’s brooke. You want so bad to believe that her patterns have changed, but ridge, after all these years… it hasn’T. I don’t think it ever will. I–I think it’s just who she is, it’s ingrained. She’s the woman who will… turn to other men in a moment of weakness and not give it a second thought. I mean, if I were you…

Ridge: You would what?

Taylor: No, I’m not telling you what to do. This is your life. She’s your destiny, right? But when your destiny causes you so much pain, betrayal and confusion over and over again… maybe it’s time to check yourself and ask why you think you deserve that path? I think you deserve so much better.

Steffy: You’re still here? Are you looking for something?

Thomas: Someone. Making sure she doesn’t come back. Brooke came looking for dad.

Steffy: She was here?

Thomas: Yeah, I told her that he wasn’t available.

Steffy: Good for you. That’s not going to stall her for long. I’m sure she sent a thousand texts.

Thomas: And she’s called a million times. But dad isn’t currently taking phone calls, so.

Steffy: Nicely done.

Thomas: Yeah, we can’t let her get to him because otherwise she’s going to start crying and begging and he needs time to figure out what he wants.

Steffy: Yeah. Well, he’s inside with mom right now, hopefully realizing what life could be like with her.

Liam: I mean, you could just call her.

Hope: No, I don’t want to interrupt her, especially if she’s making progress with ridge.

[ Door opening ] Mom, what happened? Were you able to talk to him?

Brooke: No, I didn’t get a chance to.

Liam: What– what he wasn’t there?

Brooke: He was there, all right. But thomas wouldn’t let me.

Hope: What?

Brooke: I couldn’t even get to the front door. Ridge has no idea that I was trying to call him. Thomas has his phone. Thomas and steffy were trying to keep me away from ridge to give their mother a chance to plead her case! I feel like my marriage is just slipping between my fingers, now that ridge is stuck in that house with taylor!

Ridge: Thank you for your honesty.

Taylor: You’d do the same for me, right?

Ridge: Of course I would.

Taylor: I’ll always be honest with you, ridge. Even when it’s difficult.

Ridge: You always have been.

Taylor: How are you feelin’?

Ridge: I don’t know. It’d be easier to tell you how I’m not feeling because my– my head is spinning and everything I thought was right is not. And it just keeps happening over and over again.

Taylor: Yeah, I know that feeling. When you love someone so much and they they keep hurting you over and over. It feels like your world is falling apart.

Ridge: I heard from steffy, I heard from thomas, I know what they want. They want what they always wanted. They want me to come home and I thought home… was with brooke. And I’m not– I’m not saying that what we had wasn’t– wasn’t amazing. It was… until sheila–

Taylor: You moved on. No regrets, right?

Ridge: But you didn’T.

Taylor: Never. You were my husband. I came back to a life that wasn’t there anymore, so.

Ridge: What if the kids are right? What if I should be here? Someone who’s always been honest with me, who’s never betrayed me. Someone who’s always been there for me.

Taylor: Stop. I– I cannot go through this again. What– what are you saying, ridge?

Ridge: I want to come home, if you’ll have me.

TV Interview!

Lifetime panel with Garcelle Beauvais, Alison Thornton, Malia Baker, and Emma Tremblay

Interview with Garcelle Beauvais, Alison Thornton, Malia Baker, and Emma Tremblay of “Caught in His Web” on Lifetime by Suzanne 1/10/22

This was a very interesting movie about high school girls being cyber-stalked. Garcelle Beauvais plays the police detective that helps them. It was a part of a larger Lifetime Panel with many other movies. It’s an interesting movie to watch. My question is toward the end.

MODERATOR: Hi, everyone, and welcome to our very last panel of Lifetime’s press day. I’d like to introduce the cast of “Caught in His Web.” Please welcome Garcelle Beauvais, Alison Thornton, Malia Baker, and Emma Tremblay. Let’s go ahead and get to our first question from Karen at Sci-Fi Vision. Karen?

QUESTION: Hi, everybody. I really enjoyed the film and the twists on this problem. I wanted to ask you guys, Garcelle, as a parent, I think you have teenagers at home, and the rest of the cast, all you are young ladies, either high school age or it’s not that far behind you, and I wanted to ask how much you were aware of this type of problem in high schools.

GARCELLE BEAUVAIS: First of all, I want to say hi to the cast. I love these girls.

All: Hi.

GARCELLE BEAUVAIS: For me, one of the reasons why it was so important not only to be a part of it but to get the word out is because it can happen, and I’m always trying to use things as cautionary tales for my boys. And I always say don’t ever give your personal information to anyone but obviously these girls did, and they just got targeted. I think this film is really important.

ALISON THORNTON: Yeah. I um — I had friends in high school who had their photos shared, unfortunately. I feel like it’s something that is really common nowadays. Sending a picture is like currency, especially I think in the age of COVID when everyone’s separate. So I think that it’s a really important message.

EMMA TREMBLAY: I grew up in a house where my parents were very aware of what I was doing online just for my own safety and protection, and I’m just grateful that I had that support system and I never had to experience anything as traumatic as what we go through in this movie because it’s terrifying because it’s totally real and happens and I was just lucky enough to be aware of it as I grew up and just avoided that danger.

MALIA BAKER: For sure. I mean I agree. I feel like especially being a young girl in today’s society, you have to normalize kind of almost connotation of this can happen, and if you take pictures, it’s kind of inevitable for that to happen and I feel like this movie just dives deep into it on a great level, and it’s really important, and I’m glad that we’re able to share the message.

QUESTION: Great. Thank you very much.

MODERATOR: Thank you, Karen. Our next is from Starry Constellation Magazine. All right. We can come back to you in just a few moments. How about we go to Noah Wilson. Noah?

QUESTION: Hello, everyone. It’s so great to be here with you guys to speak a little more about “Caught in His Web.” Garcelle, I want to ask you first. I feel like this is so relevant in today’s world because so many are trapped in crazy things on the internet and social media. But what made this movie project, one day, you definitely were game to do?

GARCELLE BEAUVAIS: Well, I had never worked for Lifetime believe it or not. I’ve been in the industry for 100+ years. So that definitely was an opportunity that I didn’t want to pass. But like you said, it’s such an important thing. We share so much of our lives on social media that you would think that these young girls could have some privacy when needed, and the fact that you share — if you share one photo — you know, nowadays, people can change things. They can even do videos and, you know, edit them so it looks like you’re doing something. So to me, it was really, really important, and having 14-year-old boys, I try to stress to a point where they’re like, “Mom, not everybody’s bad.” And I’m like, “No, not everybody’s bad but there’s a lot of people who want to take advantage,” and I feel like that’s what this movie speaks about. Even if you’re a great kid, great grades, you abide by the rules, this can also happen to you, and I think that’s the message too.

QUESTION: Garcelle, have you ever come across a sticky situation being on social media, being a public figure in the public eye?

GARCELLE BEAUVAIS: Yeah. Absolutely. I think I’m always careful. Now, I don’t post in real-time. If I go to an event, I will post the next day so I’m not literally at the event when I post just out of caution. But I also feel like, for me, when I posed for Playboy, that was a really big deal for me because not a lot of black women get to be on the cover and it was a big deal, and I only shot, you know, my top. I only exposed my top, and I feel like there are pictures out that people have edited that are not me. So that can — it can ruin a career. It can ruin your life. If certain things are put out there that are not your image or not what you’ve done, and so it’s just scary all around. Although social media can also be great but that aspect I think is really scary.

QUESTION: Lastly, to all of the girls that are on here right now that are part of the film, “Caught in His Web,” what did you guys learn personally from Garcelle? Did you learn anything and take anything away from her?

ALISON THORNTON: Yeah. I mean watching how Garcelle composes herself on set is really inspiring. I remember we were doing a scene — I can’t say what it is because it’s a spoiler but there was a note that I feel like I was having trouble understanding, and I did a take, and then I did a different take trying to incorporate the note, and then I remember we just had a moment where I spoke to her about it, and then we spoke to Hannah, the director, and she’s so good at being assertive in terms of asking for what you need and clarification and also just being so warm to everyone and so supportive on set. It made for such a wonderful and open environment to work with which I was very grateful for.

GARCELLE BEAUVAIS: Aw, thank you. I love that. They were so great. I love all of them equally.

EMMA TREMBLAY: I can totally bounce off of what Alison said because I feel the exact same way. Garcelle made set just so comfortable and, of course, I was like, oh, my gosh, I’m working with Garcelle. And she was just the sweetest, most wonderful woman to work with, and just you were all incredible.

GARCELLE BEAUVAIS: Thank you.

MALIA BAKER: I definitely agree with everything you girls just said. I’d also say there was this one — there was a few days actually where the call sheet got messed up, and our scenes were all being switched around, and I remember Garcelle had this huge monologue, and she was ready but they changed some of the lines, and she was trying to get it ready but by the time that we were filming, she got them all down, and I think just thinking on my feet, and like you guys said, being assertive, knowing what I want, and not being afraid to ask for it. It’s really important on set, and I feel like you can kind of get shuffled into that, no, it’s okay, thank you. That kind of realm. So it’s great to learn.

QUESTION: Thank you guys so much. Congrats on the film.

EMMA TREMBLAY: Thank you.

MALIA BAKER: Thank you.

MODERATOR: Up next, we have April Neal. April?

QUESTION: Hi, everyone. Thanks for doing this. Okay, so when I watched the film, and I’m a parent, all I could think about, and I want everyone’s input on this, is that smartphones, not cellphones but smartphones that have internet connectivity, there should be an age limit because it seems to amplify the worst of all of the things that we experience growing up, and kids are notoriously bad at containing themselves and exercising caution with something that easy to use. I wanted your opinion. Garcelle, especially you, and also the cast. Would there be an age for the younger cast? Would there be an age acceptable for you to have just a cellphone and not a smartphone and then make the transition when you’re more emotionally able to handle the responsibility that you guys go?

EMMA TREMBLAY: You go ahead.

ALISON THORNTON: I actually think that that’s a great idea. I mean I personally didn’t get a smartphone until I think I was 15. But yeah. I think what you said is a really great point because I remember even when I was younger, I would send silly photos to my friends on Snapchat and whatnot, and people would screenshot them without me knowing, and I think that — I remember having someone come to my school and talk about this actually and say on an app like Snapchat, you think that what you’re sending is gonna disappear in a few seconds, and it doesn’t even occur to you that people — like, whenever you send something like that, even if it’s a silly photo or something that you wouldn’t want everyone to see, you don’t know whose eyes are gonna be on it, and even at 13, 14, I, for some reason, that didn’t click in my mind. So I think I mean having just a normal cellphone, not a smartphone maybe is fine just for emergencies if you’re taking the bus home or whatever but I mean, for me, I probably would’ve — I think 15 was a good age for me to get my smartphone just for emails and whatnot.

EMMA TREMBLAY: Yeah. For me, I was 12. It was just when I started walking to school by myself, so my parents were like, okay, now you can have a phone. And I feel like just being introduced to social media and the internet and a slower way and just a good environment was really nice. Just not having that exposure to discover myself, I feel like that’s just really dangerous because there’s so much on the internet that is just endless, and it’s kind of scary to think that there could be little kids out there just seeing things that they shouldn’t be seeing. It’s a scary place.

MALIA BAKER: Sure. Yeah. I agree. I mean I think it’s definitely a debatable topic. I have a younger sister who’s 11, and I was around 11, 12, when I got my first phone, and she has one now, and there was always gonna be that kind of protectiveness I think when she has that, and a lot of with the apps nowadays, like Alison said, you can just send things, and you don’t know that they’re being screenshotted or like Emma said, you can discover a lot of things that you shouldn’t necessarily be discovering at that young of an age. But I feel like on the other flip side of it, there’s a lot of great things that you can be creative with or just share information that you think is important if you want to use your voice. Even just looking up photos of puppies. There are great aspects to it but as long — I think they come hand-in-hand with some of the scarier parts, and I think they’re both really important to take into account.

GARCELLE BEAUVAIS: Yeah. I agree with everything you guys are saying. As a parent, it’s scary. The minute you hand your kids a phone, whether it’s 11, 12, 13, and it’s just scary because they have access to everything, and you can do the parental codes, and I’m sure you guys can agree that there’s ways around those parental codes. (Laughs.) And so I worry. I worry all the time, and you can’t live your life in fear but I think you can also be aware of some of the pitfalls. And I hope this is what the movie does. I am having a screening at my house when this airs with my kids and their friends because I really want the message out there.

MODERATOR: Thank you, April. We’re gonna move onto our next question from Jay Bobbin.

QUESTION: Hello, everyone. Just curious about the nature of Whoopi’s involvement in this. Obviously, she’s talking about issues every day on “The View,” and she’s very invested in what she chooses to deal with subject-wise. Could any of you who had direct contact with her on this talk about the nature of her involvement?

GARCELLE BEAUVAIS: Unfortunately, because she’s so booked and busy, she wasn’t on set. She was working in New York on “The View” of course. But I think she chooses her projects carefully. I would assume she has grandchildren and this was probably a topic that she could connect to and spread the word.

QUESTION: Thank you very much. Loved you in “Flight” by the way with Denzel Washington, Garcelle.

GARCELLE BEAUVAIS: Thank you.

QUESTION: Thank you.

MODERATOR: Thank you, Jay. Up next, we have Luanne Lee. Luanne?

QUESTION: Hi. Garcelle, you acted as sort of a mentor to the girls when you were making this film. But do you have any cautionary tales for them about being an actor?

GARCELLE BEAUVAIS: Let me just tell you. These young ladies have their heads on right. They are professional. They are sweet. They are kind, and I love their relationship. I don’t know if you guys even knew each other prior to this but I felt like there was an instant kinship between them. I would say, for me, always show up prepared, and cautionary tales, if something doesn’t feel right to you in your gut, there’s probably a reason, and always follow that.

QUESTION: Thank you.

GARCELLE BEAUVAIS: You’re welcome.

MODERATOR: Thank you. Up next, we have Rick Bentley.

QUESTION: Thank you. Emma, Alison, and Malia, you’re three young women dealing in this crazy social media world to begin with. But then you add in that layer that the three of you decided to get into acting at a young age. Did you have more conversations with people about how the social media world was going to increase for you because of that or did it create more concerns? Have you put up more firewall? How has that sort of ramped up what you were already dealing with as young women anyway?

MALIA BAKER: Yeah. I mean I feel like having social media is kind of the automatic go-to especially when you are more in the public. It can be terrifying. I was not a natural social media dealer. I didn’t have Instagram or Snapchat, and then when I got into acting, they were like, you need to get these things, and I was like, oh, great. That sounds amazing. So it wasn’t a natural ease into this whole big world, and I feel like growing up, like you said, kind of getting into this industry at a younger age, it is a necessity, and as great as it can be, it can also be like Garcelle mentioned earlier, a little scary, posting things in the moment or having your locations on. There are just certain priorities that need to be taken care of and accountability that needs to be had when we’re thinking about all the aspects of this.

EMMA TREMBLAY: For me, social media was really — it was easy to get into because my parents were like just with me the whole time and explained everything so well and explained all the dangers and all the positive things, and so, for me, yeah, it was a really nice introduction into it, and I have a good relationship with social media, and I’m thankful for that because like I’ve always said, it’s a scary place.

ALISON THORNTON: Yeah. I would agree with both of you guys on that. I, like Malia, it wasn’t natural for me to be on social media. I wasn’t on it before I was acting, and even now, sometimes it feels like there’s this weird pressure to post and to keep people up to date with what I’m doing which I’m still kind of coming to terms with. Sometimes I do silly things like I’ll post something and then five seconds later, be like, “No, I can’t post that,” and then delete it right away. So I’m still navigating social media but we’ll see.

EMMA TREMBLAY: We all are.

GARCELLE BEAUVAIS: We all are.

QUESTION: Thank you very much.

MODERATOR: Thank you, Rick. And we actually have time for one more question, and I’m gonna give that to The Hollywood Times.

QUESTION: Hi, Garcelle.

GARCELLE BEAUVAIS: Hi.

QUESTION: I know sextortion is an ongoing issue here, and I was just wondering, how much of this film — and maybe you can give an example — is based on actual events?

GARCELLE BEAUVAIS: Oh, well, it definitely is based on actual events. I think what’s happening is that we’re all sort of learning how to navigate this social media world, and I think with kids, remember when you were a kid? I think everything was rosy and you were so hopeful and full of life and trusted people. And I think the cautionary tale is not that you can’t trust people, especially if you’re in high school because you need to make friends but it’s what you share with people, and if someone’s asking you to share something inappropriate, it’s probably inappropriate to do so, and I have two 14-year-old boys, and I try to tell them if someone sends you a picture of someone, do not forward that picture to another friend because that’s how it all gets started. So it’s real events but then applied to how modern and how dependent we are on these devices that we hold onto all day.

QUESTION: Okay. Thank you very much.

GARCELLE BEAUVAIS: You’re welcome.

MODERATOR: I actually lied. We do have time for more questions. So let’s get some more in. Suzanne?

QUESTION: Hi. How are you guys doing today?

GARCELLE BEAUVAIS: Good. How are you?

QUESTION: All right. Thanks for being here. I was going to ask… Garcelle, can you talk to us at all about the development as far as your part of it, the development of the movie?

GARCELLE BEAUVAIS: Yeah. For me, when I got the script, I was fascinated. At first, I thought how does someone get to control your life like that? And it was really a deep dive into how people hack the information they get, what they do to it, identity theft. I mean it was a lot in terms of going down that rabbit hole and realizing how much someone can have an effect on your life, someone who’s not even in your home, who you don’t really have contact with. So, for me, it’s really getting into that mindset that I wanted to understand what the girls were going through but at the same time, I felt like my character was not tech savvy and had to learn a lot as she went along. So it was about learning a lot but then letting it go so that it didn’t appear that I had all the answers. Does that make sense?

QUESTION: Yes, it does. Thank you. And the actor that played the hacker girl that helped out was really good, too.

GARCELLE BEAUVAIS: Yeah. She was really great. Morgan was really great.

QUESTION: Thank you.

MODERATOR: Thank you, Suzanne. Up next, we have Abby.

QUESTION: Sorry. I’m sorry. I thought you said the other one was the last question. For Ms. Beauvais, I think you would be the point person on this question. Too often, the law enforcement doesn’t even take actual rape seriously much less sexual harassment. What is there about this case even in the story that had the law enforcement taking it seriously?

GARCELLE BEAUVAIS: Well, I think the fact that my character sort of pushed that along because, at first, even when Alison’s character went to the precinct to report it, it was kind of brushed aside. Like, okay, these girls say these guys are — this guy is coming after them but there wasn’t really any concrete proof, and especially, I would have to say in the tech world, sometimes, a lot of adults, me included, don’t know everything that these kids can get into. So it’s always with law enforcement, I feel like until something bad happens, they really can’t do anything about it. But I felt like my character at least took it seriously enough and I think it was maybe because of the connection of these young girls to sort of delve a little deeper and see what she could find out and hopefully catch this guy.

QUESTION: Have you ever been inspired by anything, bad interactions you’ve had online to look further into who the heck is this idiot?

GARCELLE BEAUVAIS: No. I just block and delete. (Laughs.) I don’t have that much time. But I just think it’s unfortunate that somebody who you don’t even know — not a real interaction with can really ruin your life, and I think that’s a cautionary tale for all of us, really, whether you’re young or old.

QUESTION: Thanks very much.

MODERATOR: Thank you. And, finally, our last question is from Right On Digital. Right On?

QUESTION: Hello? Hi. Can you hear me? Okay. My question is this: this is a hypothetical question. If you all were going to a high school or junior high school to speak to the students in reference to the fact that this film has come out, what is the message that you would like to relate to the young people that would hear you speak?

GARCELLE BEAUVAIS: You guys want to go first?

ALISON THORNTON: That’s a really good question. I think that, personally, what I would say is my biggest takeaway from shooting the movie is just pay attention to the power that people, especially women in this case, can have when they believe each other and when they support each other. I think that a lot of the times today, there’s this culture of being a savage and being cold and not necessarily being nice to each other, and I think that this movie is really empowering because it kind of shows the opposite effect of that and how there’s way more power united and how you can actually take down predators and you can just go to such intense lengths when you just believe people and support them.

MALIA BAKER: I agree with Alison 100%. You said it perfectly. And I feel like this film has such in-your-face kind of messaging. Nothing is really kind of filtered in a sense that you need to look really, really hard for the underlying meaning of the film. It’s there and being united and having young women especially being united on this front, there’s amazing moments in the movie where you see that happening, and I feel like, going forward with this film and with other ones in general, it’s just really empowering to see it, especially coming from kind of the same perspective on the world as I think a lot of young people watching this movie will feel.

QUESTION: Okay.

EMMA TREMBLAY: I personally love what Alison said and what I was kind of thinking is my favorite part of the film is just the fact that these girls are so much stronger together and just the way that they form their team is so beautiful and fun to watch, and I’m so glad that I got to work with Malia and Alison as my two classmates. They were incredible. And then Garcelle as well. We were just a great team. We were a great team together.

GARCELLE BEAUVAIS: We were a great team. And I think what I would — I agree with everything these young girls have said but I also feel like it can happen to anyone. I think that’s what I would say in my conversation with the students is that it can happen to anyone. Just be careful.

QUESTION: Thank you for such wonderful answers. Very inspiring.

MODERATOR: Awesome. Well, thank you, and thank you to the “Caught in His Web” panelists along with all of our amazing other panels today for joining us.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Are we ready?

Chloe: Oh, we absolutely are.

Chelsea: Great. Thank you for meeting me early.

Chloe: Yeah, not a problem. I think it’s helpful to go over our pitch once or twice before we meet with lauren.

Chelsea: Yep, we only get one shot with her. We got to make it count.

Chloe: Well, the way I see it, we’re doing fenmore’s a favor. I mean, lauren would be crazy not to work with us.

Chelsea: I love your attitude.

Chloe: Well, I’m just telling it like it is.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] I wish I had your confidence.

Chloe: Hey, look, it is normal for you to feel a little nervous right now. You haven’t been in a big meeting like this for a long time, and you have been through a lot since then. But you got this. We have a great plan and the talent to back it up.

Chelsea: You’re right. You are right, 100%. I just have butterflies, you know? There’s so much at stake. This isn’t just a business deal for me — this is the start of a whole new beginning. Again. And I need to make it stick.

Jack: Okay, here’s their trip to the alps.

Lauren: Aww, look at that. Is this his first time on skis?

Jack: Oh, yeah. Apparently harrison is a natural. Summer was terribly worried, and kyle found the perfect instructor. Before the day was over, my grandson was bombing down the beginner slope. Here’s another.

Lauren: Oh, my, so much fun. They grow so fast.

Jack: Oh, I know. I feel like I’m missing out on so much.

Lauren: But summer and kyle send you pictures.

Jack: Oh, yeah, yeah. We video chat all the time. Last week, harrison wanted to impress his grandpa jack with the italian he’d learned. It was priceless. “Aree-bo-dirtsi.”

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Jack: It’s like a breath of fresh air, that kid.

Lauren: Aww. Well, phyllis is probably having a great time.

Jack: Oh, I guarantee it. And she’ll come back with lots of charming stories and more pictures than you’re gonna want to see.

Lauren: [ Laughs ] Ah, do you think she’s made a decision yet?

Jack: About the marchetti job? I haven’t heard.

Lauren: I’m sure we will soon.

Jack: I have no doubt.

Lauren: Phyllis packing up and moving to italy — that’s a big change.

Jack: Yeah, but she seemed ready for change.

Lauren: Yeah, or she could stay right here.

Jack: Yeah, I suppose, but, you know, the longer she stays in milan, I think the more likely she’ll accept summer’s offer. I guess we’ll see.

Lauren: Mm-hmm. You know, you’re acting very nonchalant, noncommittal, but I’m pretty sure you’re fully invested in the outcome.

Jack: This is completely phyllis’ choice.

Lauren: Be honest — how much are you hoping that she turns that job down and stays right here?

Abby: Thank you so much for meeting with me.

Rey: Of course. I was a little surprised when you reached out because, you know, you got so much going on with dominic.

Abby: Yes, but we got some good news. Devon is a perfect match, so he’s gonna be his bone marrow donor.

Rey: What? That is great. So your little boy’s gonna get the help that he needs. Hopefully he can make a full recovery.

Abby: Yeah.

Rey: Oh.

Abby: Thank god. It was a big step forward, and there’s nothing more I can do about that tonight, so that’s actually why I wanted to talk to you about chance.

Rey: Okay. Why?

Abby: Look, I overheard him tell you that he was sorry for what went down at the stakeout, and I asked him what happened and he just told me that he wasn’t ready to go back to work, so he left early, and that was it. But I — I got the feeling that there was more to it than that. Do I need to be worried about my husband? What happened that night?

Rey: Look, I don’t know if i can talk about something that chance didn’t choose to tell you. That feels like a breach of confidence between partners.

Abby: How bad was it? Rey, what are you not telling me?

Rey: 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?

[ Smashing ]

Chance: [ Breathing heavily ] Oh, man. Rey.

Rey: Hey. We got the perp. Miller and muncie picked him up running to the park. They already brought him in.

Chance: Yeah, good, good. Mm, I’m sorry, man. I’m sorry.

Rey: For what? For what?

Chance: I got stuck here. I was supposed to be there for you and the team. I was stuck here.

Rey: It’s alright, it’s alright. They got the guy. Nobody got hurt. No harm, no foul. Don’t beat yourself up over this.

Chance: I choked, rey. I choked again. I failed again. I’m in love again with this! Do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need? Now you can sell your policy – even a term policy – for an immediate cash payment. We thought we had planned carefully for our retirement. But we quickly realized we needed a way to supplement our income. If you have $100,000 or more of life insurance, you may qualify to sell your policy. Don’t cancel or let your policy lapse without finding out what it’s worth. Visit coventrydirect.Com to find out if your policy qualifies. Or call the number on your screen.

Chance: Sorry, man, I — i told you I was up for this, and I really thought I was. I mean, it’s a simple stakeout, and I was useless, just like in spain, man. My team needed me and I let them down.

Rey: Chance, hold on. What happened tonight had nothing to do with spain. Nobody got hurt.

Chance: What if someone did? What if someone did get hurt?

Rey: But they didn’T. It’s okay, the guy’s in custody, alright?

Chance: No thanks to me.

Rey: Stop. Hey, you didn’t fail.

Chance: [ Sighs ]

Rey: You just — you came back too soon. You’re not ready to be back on the job yet.

Chance: I don’t think I ever will be, rey. I mean, do you think I can get past what happened to me in spain? Do you? I’m sorry, man, I —

[ Sighs ] You don’t know. I’m sorry, man.

Abby: Look, I understand that you’re in a difficult position because you don’t want to betray the trust that chance has in you as his partner.

Rey: Exactly.

Abby: But think about the position that I’m in as his wife. Chance always wants to be strong. He doesn’t want to ask for help, even when he’s struggling. But all I want to do is help him, and I can’t do that if i don’t know what’s going on.

Rey: I understand. Let’s put it this way — it became evident to both me and chance that it was too soon for him to step into the fray. We have to reevaluate, and that’s all I’m comfortable sharing right now.

Abby: Well, I appreciate your loyalty, but between everything that’s going on with chance and now dominic, my nerves are completely shredded. And I think that’s one of the reasons why chance is holding back, why he’s not opening up to me, it’s because he doesn’t want to be a burden. But what he doesn’t realize is that he could never be a burden, and keeping everything inside, that’s the worst thing that he can do.

Rey: I can’t argue with that.

Abby: So, please, will you talk to him? I mean, cop to cop, partner to partner, friend to friend? Can you get him to listen? ‘Cause I think that you’re the only person that can convince him that he doesn’t have to pretend like everything’s okay for his family’s sake.

Chloe: Okay, we are on it. Our creative juices are flowing, our business juices are flowing. I feel like we could sell cotton candy to a dentist.

Chelsea: I don’t disagree. We are prepared, and I like that you bring up our history without making us sound out of touch.

Chloe: Well, your designs do that. I mean, they are so contemporary, they make it look like we know what we’re doing.

Chelsea: Mm-hmm, we’ll fool them all.

Chloe: And any time you can take a shot at sally, go for it, because lauren has more issues with her than you do.

Chelsea: Whatever it takes. We’ve got a really, really exciting presentation, if I do say so myself.

Chloe: Oh, well, it’s not just you. I say it, too. We’re awesome.

Chelsea: Damn right we are.

Chloe: [ Chuckles ]

Chelsea: Let’s do this.

Jack: Phyllis should do what makes her happiest, whether that’s moving to milan or just staying in genoa city or flying around the world in a hot air balloon. It’s her choice to make.

Lauren: And you really have no opinion on the matter?

Jack: Maybe I do.

Lauren: [ Chuckles ] Maybe? Why are you being so coy? I, for one, would be very sad if phyllis decided to move, and i would certainly understand if she needed a change. I mean, she’d be closer to her daughter, she and summer would work at marchetti.

Jack: It’s an amazing opportunity. Why would she pass it up?

Lauren: I can think of one reason. But it is her choice to make what path is right for her at the moment.

Jack: Yeah, well, whatever path she chooses, I’m gonna support her.

Lauren: Hmm. So you’d be fine if she left genoa city? You wouldn’t be up nights, wondering, “what if”?

Jack: I would miss her a lot. In fact, I miss her a lot right now, and she hasn’t been gone that long.

Lauren: Wow, we’re making progress. You actually admitted you have feelings for her.

Jack: Oh, that’s no big secret. My feelings for phyllis are very complicated and very deep.

Lauren: Mm. And what would you say if she walked through the door right now?

Jack: Oh, I’d have a lot to say.

Lauren: Like what?

Jack: It doesn’t matter. It isn’t happening.

Lauren: I wouldn’t be so sure. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Lauren: Hey, we were just talking about you.

Phyllis: Hey! Oh, my goodness. Hello!

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Phyllis: Thank you.

Lauren: I’m so glad you’re home.

Jack: Yeah, when’d you get back?

Phyllis: A few hours ago. I am so jet-lagged, but I can’t go to sleep, I can’T.

Lauren: Well, there is a new cocktail here made with espresso — might do the trick.

Phyllis: Oh, I’ll have five.

[ Laughter ] I’m not kidding. So am I intruding?

Lauren: No.

Jack: No.

Phyllis: No, okay. Is this a lauren-jack conversation, just two friends, or is it a fenmore’s-jabot collaboration?

Jack: Absolutely the former. Lauren and I were just catching up.

Lauren: But I do have a dinner meeting with some potential partners, and — oh, here they are right now.

Phyllis: Ah, oh.

Jack: Chelsea, chloe, long time. I assume you’re looking for new opportunities now that newman media has been swallowed up by the newman/locke juggernaut?

Chloe: Yes, that is true. Our fashion platform is no more. Rip. But the upside is we get to focus on our real passion, which is design.

Jack: Good for you. Good luck with that.

Phyllis: So it’s just the two of you?

Chelsea: Yep, we are a duo yet again. Sally’s no longer in the picture.

Phyllis: Mm, sally’s not in the picture. Well, that’s good. You got rid of her. So, chelsea, I hear that you are staying at my hotel indefinitely.

Chelsea: That’s right. I am selling the penthouse, so you will be my landlord for the foreseeable future.

Phyllis: So, you got rid of adam, you got rid of sally — all that toxicity out of your life. Good for you.

Chelsea: Can’t even imagine.

Phyllis: Mm.

Lauren: Well, let’s get to it. I reserved that table right there. I want to hear all about italy, and we can talk tomorrow, okay?

Phyllis: Yeah, sure. Alone at last.

Jack: I want to hear all about your adventures, but before we do that, why don’t we sit down, have a drink?

Phyllis: Okay.

Chelsea: Lauren, thank you so much for meeting with us.

Chloe: Yes, we came to you first because we admire you and respect you so much.

Lauren: Alright, you don’t have to lay it on so thick.

[ Laughter ]

Chloe: No, I just really want you to know how much we appreciate this opportunity.

Lauren: Of course. I’m excited to hear what your proposal is. Now, I looked over the financial plan that you sent me, and why don’t we start there?

Phyllis: Thank you so much. Okay. Mmm. So great — that hits the spot.

[ Sighs ]

Jack: So are you gonna leave me hanging or are you gonna tell me about your trip?

Phyllis: Well, it was wonderful, very challenging, enlightening.

Chance: Hey, rey. What a surprise. Times in one day. How’s the baby doing?

Abby: Oh, just put him down. He’s sleeping peacefully, no discomfort.

Chance: Any news from devon about next steps for the treatment?

Abby: Yeah, I did hear from him. He has an appointment tomorrow to talk about donating his bone marrow, and then we’ll take it from there.

Chance: Good. I’m anxious to get things underway.

Abby: Yeah, um…so where were you? Are you okay?

Chance: Yeah. I’m, uh, the same as I was when rey came by earlier today. Now he’s back. What’s up with that?

Abby: Okay, um…look, I — i wanted to talk to rey because i had some questions about what happened at the stakeout.

Chance: Mm-hmm. What’d rey have to say about it?

Rey: Not much. I didn’t feel like it was my place.

Abby: Look, I know that you’re having a hard time talking to me, so please talk to your partner. I’m gonna go check on dominic.

Chance: I mean, I cannot believe you. Talking to my wife about me behind my back. I mean, what the hell are you doing, man? Why are all these flowers here?

Rey: There’s no dark, ulterior motive here. Abby asked me to talk to you. We’re both concerned about you, and I thought I could help.

Chance: Yeah, well, there’s no need. I’m just fine. Now, I’m sure you have more important things to take care of, like your own family. So why don’t you go deal with them and I’ll deal with mine — how ’bout that?

Rey: Look, I can tell that you’re angry —

Chance: You’re damn right I’m angry, rey.

Rey: But my house is in order, partner. Yours is not.

Chance: You don’t know that.

Rey: I do. Because even with everything going on with your baby, your wife tracked me down to say, “the man that I love is in trouble. Will you please help him?” Think about that. Think about the kind of situation that you’re putting her in.

Chance: You know what, rey? She shouldn’t have come to you, ’cause you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.

Rey: She doesn’t know what else to do! She can tell something is wrong with you, but you won’t open up to her. Why won’t you?

Chance: Rey, I am trying not to upset my wife right now.

Rey: She already is.

Chance: She is dealing with too much because of the baby, man. And I don’t want to add this to her plate, too.

Rey: Man, you don’t get it. You’re in this together. This isn’t about her plate and your plate — it’s all one big plate.

Chance: Rey [Sighs] You don’t understand the situation, okay?

Rey: I understand that if you don’t open up to her, she’s not gonna be in the picture at all.

Chance: Don’t say that.

Rey: You need to tell her what you’re feeling. She can help. You can only suppress what’s going on inside you for so long before you explode.

Chelsea: Those growth projections and start-up costs are a range, of course. We’re thinking we may be 5% to 10% over on initial budget.

Chloe: Yeah, we could be underselling the growth estimate by 15% to 20%.

Lauren: Well, the financials are reasonable, given that your line delivers.

Chelsea: Oh, it will.

Lauren: Uh-huh. And that is exactly the kind of optimism you need to start a new business.

Chelsea: And we didn’t mention our brand will differ from jcv, which would broaden fenmore’s appeal. If you want to take a look at these sketches, we’re really looking to target a new kind of customer.

Lauren: Yeah, okay, I get that. And what about a name? You thought about it?

Chloe: Yes, actually, we are going with something new.

Chelsea: We’re leaving chelsea 2.0 behind, even though it was very successful for us.

Chloe: So we are leaning with bella milconno, the name of our three kids.

Lauren: Hmm. You know, chelsea, I really see you in these designs. And if I look close enough, i see chloe’s editorial.

Chloe: Is that a good thing?

Chelsea: We have more. We can send to you other things.

Lauren: No, that won’t be necessary.

Chloe: Okay, well, lauren, listen, if you have any other questions, we can show you more numbers, more designs. Whatever you need, we can provide.

Lauren: You really don’t need to do that. I’ve seen enough.

Phyllis: Well, it was really great spending so much time with summer and kyle and that little harrison. Oh, just being with my daughter gave me so much joy.

Jack: I love hearing that.

Phyllis: Yeah. And I got a real sense of how they live in milan, and — and that was really fun.

Jack: And a sense of how you might fit into that life if you took the job at marchetti.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] You know, I have to be honest with you, initially, that job offer, it was very intimidating to me. Yeah.

Jack: You’ve never been intimidated by anything. I have seen you in more different jobs, succeeding in more different arenas. There’s no job you couldn’t handle.

Phyllis: Oh, that’s very lovely of you to say. Thank you.

Jack: So did you reach a decision? Are you gonna move to italy?

Phyllis: Taking that job, there’s a lot to consider.

Jack: I can imagine.

Phyllis: Okay, well, I would have to be fluent in italian, of course. And I’d be overseeing a bunch of young hot-shots, so I’d be immersed in the fashion industry, and…it’d be challenging.

Jack: You could do it, red.

Phyllis: Oh, I know that, i know that. It’S… do I want to do it? Do I want to? I mean, I could learn everything about the fashion industry, but I don’t know if I want to. It’s a lot to consider.

Jack: Well, you have been saying there’s nothing that ties you to genoa city any longer.

Phyllis: Yeah, that’s what I’ve been saying. But there is one element that i forgot about — myself. I mean, genoa city is my home. My life is rooted here. It’s made me the person I am, for better or for worse. And did I want to go to milan and change me? That was the question.

Jack: Sounds pretty well thought out.

Phyllis: Yeah. It took me going to italy to figure it out.

Jack: Well, to be honest, before you left, it was everything in me not to tell you exactly the same thing. I figured you had to learn that for yourself or you wouldn’t accept it.

Phyllis: Right, thanks. I mean, I don’t listen to people well. I don’t know if you know that.

Jack: You don’t say.

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: So are you gonna stay?

Feeling sluggish or weighed

down?

“The young and the restless”

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

Chance: Want to know what i think? I think you and abby are over-exaggerating and you’re making too much of this.

Rey: I disagree. Look, I know you’ve been through some intense situations as a soldier, a cop, a fed. I mean, you’ve seen things that most people can’t even imagine. And maybe you thought you could tough this one out like you had before, but whatever happened in spain is too traumatic for one person to just handle on their own. It’s eating you up alive, man.

Chance: You know what? I’m handling it, rey.

Rey: You can tell yourself that, but whatever’s going on here doesn’t just fade away, it doesn’t disappear. In fact, it’s gonna keep impacting your life, your family, your health, until you start dealing with it.

Chance: I appreciate what you’re doing, rey, but this is between me and my wife.

Rey: Exactly. She needs to be a part of this. Listen, you can refuse to listen to me, but she needs you and you need her. She needs all of you, man, not just some hollowed-out shell of what you used to be.

Chance: Is that what you think I am? A shell of my former self?

Rey: I think you’re gonna need to do a lot of work before you can come back to the force. And part of that work is gonna be letting your guard down and showing your wife how you really feel.

Abby: Dominic’s still sleeping peacefully. How’s everything here? Do you need more time?

Rey: No, it’s — it’s alright. I’ve said my piece and then some. I’ll let you two talk.

Phyllis: As much as I love the thought of working with my daughter, um…I’m staying here because I love my hotel. I love my friends. I love my life here. I’m staying.

Jack: You’re staying.

Phyllis: Yeah. Yeah, I’m gonna rack up a lot of frequent flyer miles, but I’m staying. You know, working for a big fashion house, that’s not my dream. That’s my daughter’s dream. So ciao, marchetti.

Jack: For what it’s worth, I’m glad to hear that.

Phyllis: Yep. I’m here. They’re gonna have to chase me out of town, which may be soon.

Jack: [ Laughs ] Well, this town would be a lot more boring without you.

Phyllis: Oh, for sure.

Jack: So how you feeling? Doing okay with the time zone?

Phyllis: Oh, yeah, I’m good. Why are you asking?

Jack: Well, we said we were gonna have dinner when you got back, and I’m sure you’re hungry, but if you want to put it off for another time —

Phyllis: No, no, I’m famished. Let’s have dinner.

Jack: Okay.

Lauren: I really appreciate the presentation that you’ve put forth here tonight. I am so impressed with all of your hard work. It’s sensational. You have a clear vision, and i can’t wait to see what you bring to fenmore’S.

Chloe: So we have a deal?

Lauren: [ Laughs ] I will have my legal team draw up the papers.

Chelsea: [ Chuckles ]

Chloe: This is amazing.

Chelsea: This is wonderful news. Thank you, lauren.

Lauren: You deserve it.

Chloe: Well, I just know that family gatherings will be so much smoother because had you turned us down, that would have been nine kinds of awkward.

[ Laughter ]

Lauren: You know, I actually didn’t even think about that when I was making my decision. I think this is gonna be very profitable for all of us.

Chelsea: Well, we are so grateful. Um, this is — this is more than just a job for me. This is a chance to rebuild my life, so I am going to pour my heart and soul into this business. And I know trust has to be earned, but I promise, I will prove myself to you.

Lauren: You know something, chelsea? If I didn’t think that you had changed, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. So there’s nothing more to say. Just show up and do the work.

[ Laughs ] If you have type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure…

Lauren: Have a deal memo drawn up tomorrow, and we’ll work out the details of the contract later. Alright, thanks, jeff.

[ Laughter ]

Jack: You made the right decision. You belong here, and you seem a lot more relaxed than the last time I saw you.

Phyllis: Oh, I don’t doubt that. It was just great to spend time with summer. It was just so much fun, and that little harrison — how adorable is he? You know, he was trying to teach me italian.

Jack: Ah, yes — “aree-bo-dirtsi.”

Phyllis: Oh, my gosh, it’s so cute. He is so cute. The night before I left, I was talking to summer and we were sitting on the sofa, and he came down and he just put his head on my lap, he fell asleep. Oh. Just adorable. I just want to chew him up.

Jack: Harrison has that effect on people.

Phyllis: And he’s so charming. So charming. And where’d he get that, his grandpa jack?

Jack: You don’t have to flatter me to get what you want.

Phyllis: Which is?

Jack: What else? Dessert.

Phyllis: Dessert. Yes, you know me so well.

Chelsea: [ Laughs ]

Chloe: This is the best! We have infinite possibilities in front of us.

Chelsea: And with fenmore’s backing, we have infinite resources behind us. We can really make it work this time.

Chloe: So when do you want to get started?

Chelsea: Right now.

Chloe: Okay, you don’t want to celebrate first?

Chelsea: Well, for me, working is celebrating.

Chloe: Okay. You know what? Why don’t you grab a table? I’ll get us some teas, and we’ll get right to it.

Chelsea: Okay.

Chloe: Hey, chelsea.

Chelsea: Yeah?

Chloe: Good job today. You crushed it.

Chelsea: You too, partner.

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 ]

Rey: Hey. Chelsea?

Chelsea: Hi. Rey, hi.

Rey: [ Chuckles ] Why are you so excited?

Chelsea: I’m not. What do you mean?

Rey: Well, I saw you and chloe walk in here, practically jumping up and down for joy.

Chelsea: Right, yeah. We actually just had a great business meeting. Do you remember that new venture I was telling you about?

Rey: Yeah.

Chelsea: Well, we are officially now in business.

Chloe: Yeah, our new line is going to be available in fenmore’s soon. So we’re back in the game.

Rey: Wow. Well, congratulations. That’s great news.

Chloe: Yeah.

Rey: I mean, I know how hard you’ve been working. It’s great to see it pay off.

Chelsea: Well, thanks, rey.

Rey: And you’re out of newman media, away from adam.

Chloe: Hallelujah.

Rey: Mm, that’s great news all around. I mean, I’m really happy for the two of you. There’s nothing that you both can’t achieve together. This is a new chapter for you, chelsea. You should be proud of yourself. I know connor will be.

Chance: The last thing i wanted to do was cause you any more stress.

[ Sighs ] That’s why I was trying to keep all this to myself, away from you.

Abby: I know. But you can’t protect me from my own feelings. I love you, and I am gonna worry about you, especially when you shut down and you stop talking to me. I have no idea what happened at that stakeout, but my imagination is conjuring up all sorts of things because I don’t know the truth.

Chance: I know. I know, and I’m really sorry.

Abby: Hey, just stop. I don’t need you to apologize or feel guilty. I know that this is hard on you.

Chance: [ Sighs ]

Abby: Do you remember what you said to me the other night? You said that we need to lean on each other. And do what’s best for dominic, which means doing what’s best for us. So listen to your own words. Lean on me, let me be strong for you.

Chance: It’s not that easy, baby. It’s not.

Abby: Look, I know that you said you wanted to handle this on your own. You wanted to deal with it, and I have tried to step back and respect that, but things are just getting worse. And whatever happened at the stakeout the other night, it brought you back to things that happened in spain. And I don’t know what the next few months are gonna look like for us, for our son. But the only way that we’re gonna get through this is if we do it together, as a united front, strong. We lean on each other, no barriers. Chance, you have to let me in. With depression, you just feel…blah.

Chloe: Okay. Sorry, it looks like I need to cut our work session short. Kevin is overwhelmed with both kids at home.

Chelsea: Isn’t esther there?

Chloe: Oh, she’s out to dinner with her friends.

Chelsea: Oh.

Chloe: Why is it that men can’t multitask?

Chelsea: Because they are simple creatures.

Chloe: Oh. You want a ride home?

Chelsea: I’m okay. I’m gonna stay, have some more tea, and get some stuff done.

Chloe: Okay. Well, I’ll call you first thing in the morning.

Chelsea: Sounds good. Have a good night.

Chloe: Talk to you tomorrow.

Chelsea: Hey, rey, you want to join me?

Rey: Sure. You need some help with your fashion designs?

Chelsea: [ Laughs ] No, but if I did, you would obviously be my first call.

Rey: I mean, obviously.

Chelsea: [ Laughs ]

Rey: Wow, oh.

Chelsea: Check it out.

Chance: You want to know what happened?

Abby: Yes. Please tell me.

Chance: I mean, what happened was I thought I would be just fine. I mean, there wasn’t much to it. It was watch a guy, you catch him in the act, then you round him up. I’ve done it a million times. And I got to the site. I had to act like everything was okay. Because it wasn’T. I wasn’T. I just got real tense, and i felt this — this fear just rising up in me. It… I was reliving spain all over again. I was there, I felt it all. And then I spiraled. I thought I was putting rey and the others in danger. I thought I could get them killed. Abby, just like my team. And then I heard a loud noise. I froze. I was paralyzed. I…couldn’t move. I couldn’t back up my partner. I couldn’t do anything. I was stuck there, scared. It scared the hell out of me. I don’t know.

[ Sighs ]

Abby: I hate that you went through that. But I’m really glad that you shared it with me. Chance, look at me. You are a strong, brave man. But your family needs you to find a way to cope with this so you can heal. And you need to do it now.

Phyllis: Well, this is lovely. This is a perfect “welcome back home” dinner.

Jack: You’re right, this has been one of the loveliest evenings I’ve had in a long time.

Phyllis: How nice.

[ Sighs ] I belong here.

Jack: You belong here, red.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Can I give you a ride back to the hotel?

Phyllis: Oh, that’d be great. That’d be great. What is it, something wrong?

Jack: It’s a random text from a los angeles area code.

Phyllis: Los angeles? What is it?

Jack: It’s just an address in la.

Phyllis: That’s it?

Jack: Yeah, clearly a wrong number.

Phyllis: Huh.

Jack: So, why don’t you grab our coats, and I will be right there, okay?

Phyllis: Great, great. Next time, it’s on me.

Jack: I’m gonna hold you to that.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Victoria: Get me a draft of that contract by the end of the day. Thank you.

Victor: Well.

Victoria: Daddy. What brings you by?

Victor: What do you mean, “what brings me by”? Do I need a reason to visit my beautiful daughter and the company that bears my name?

Victoria: You are here to ask me if I know about ashland financing the company in peru, the one that developed his treatment. I know about it already. He told me himself.

Victor: Hmm. So you’re realizing that he lied to you.

Victoria: You know, I don’t even know why you’re scrutinizing my husband’s treatment in the first place. I thought you were going to stop digging around in his past, and yet here we are again. It feels like sort of a betrayal.

Victor: I’m not here to discuss ashland, okay? I’m here to ask you how it’s going — the newman/locke acquisition of newman media.

Victoria: Everything is proceeding as expected, and if you’re referring to adam, he has been on his best behavior so far. However, now that you ask, the most peculiar thing has happened.

[ Objects clattering ]

Adam: Come in.

Sally: Good morning.

Adam: You are the last person that I expected to come through that door.

Sally: Because now that we’ve broken the seal on our relationship, we should avoid each other?

Adam: Because you rarely knock.

Sally: We…did things yesterday. We fraternized…a lot. And we crossed many…many lines.

Adam: Do you regret it?

Sally: Not one bit.

Adam: Then can we just relax? Because nothing has changed, except the fact that we don’t have to pretend we don’t want to rip each other’s clothes off every time we are alone together.

Sally: Well, then I guess we are having our first disagreement, because I am of the mind that finally being together did not put water on the fire. If anything, it was gasoline and it added to the flames.

Adam: Which is a bad thing?

Sally: Incendiary. Things are going to be hot. And stay that way. As long as we are within 10 feet of each other.

Adam: Our valentine’s day celebration did have an extraordinary aspect to it. A rare, um, intensity, something that you would find in an earthquake. Or a tsunami.

Sally: Or a wildfire, consuming everything in its path.

Adam: You would not believe me how long it took to clean this office. Everywhere I looked, it was just disorder.

[ Clears throat ] Not that I am complaining.

Sally: Well, the thing about earthquakes is there tend to be aftershocks.

Adam: Mm. Well, that sounds like something to look forward to.

Sally: But they can be dangerous, too. I mean, the good thing is that you know that they’re coming, so you can anticipate them. We were careful yesterday when we ran into chelsea afterwards not to give off any signs that things have progressed between us, but it is hard to hide tsunami- or wildfire-level activity.

Adam: That is a good point.

Sally: So how are we gonna handle this? Or the bigger question is… what exactly is this?

Victor: What has adam done?

Victoria: He made his first big hire.

Victor: Anyone I know?

Victoria: Mm-hmm. Sally spectra. He appointed her his coo.

Victor: He hired sally spectra? Who the hell is she? What does she know about running a company? She has no experience. He hired her without me knowing?

Victoria: Well, maybe ashland isn’t the person in this company that you need to be focusing on.

Victor: Is that boy out of his mind? Nice to see you.

Nick: Hey, mom.

Nikki: Nicholas.

Nick: You busy?

Nikki: No, I always have time for you. What’s going on?

Nick: Do I need a reason to come and visit my mom?

Nikki: You know, I’ve been wondering the same thing. Why can’t that handsome nicholas come and visit? Might it be because he is trying to avoid his father?

Nick: Mm, actually, we’re getting along pretty well these days. Is he around?

Nikki: No, he had to go over to victoria’s office.

Nick: Ah, probably just to remind her who’s still actually in charge.

Nikki: Now, your father is still a very important part of newman enterprises. He’s there as an advisor.

Nick: Curious to see how this new corporate hierarchy is gonna work, you know? With vick and adam forced to work together.

Nikki: Yeah, there will be some challenges.

Nick: Well, I’m more concerned about you, mom. It’s inevitable that adam and vick are gonna start fighting, and neither one of them fights very fairly. I’m concerned you could end up in the crossfire. My asthma felt anything but normal.

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Nikki: I have survived mergers and acquisitions, hostile takeovers, and even more hostile board members, so i think I can handle a little sibling rivalry.

Nick: Eh, dealing with coworkers and competitors is one thing. This hits a lot closer to home.

Nikki: Listen, whatever slings and arrows victoria and adam throw at each other, I will be able to side-step with my usual style and grace, and perhaps even diffuse a few situations before they get heated.

Nick: I hope you’re right.

Nikki: Oh, ye of little faith.

Nick: Oh, no, no. You, I’ve got a lot of faith in. It’s the rest of the crew I’m worried about.

Nikki: Well, I assure you, i can handle any situation that comes my way.

Nick: I’m sure you can. But if you need anyone to talk to that doesn’t have any skin in the game, you know where to find me.

Nikki: Darling, I would never drag you back into the corporate madness that you managed to escape, especially when I see how happy that choice made you.

Nick: Yeah, I’m real fired up about the work that new hope is doing. We’re helping a lot of people.

Nikki: With your son by your side. And you really poached him right out from under victor.

Nick: Well, somebody had to save his soul.

[ Chuckles ]

Nikki: I’m also very happy that you made your peace with him and with victoria and adam, too, to an extent.

Nick: Yeah, I’m working real hard to get along with all of them, even though they rarely make it very easy on me.

Nikki: I also noticed that you seemed a bit lost over the holidays, but I think your trip to milan to visit summer really snapped you out of that. Spending time with your children is very grounding.

Nick: It is. Working with noah, spending time with faith and christian, they keep me on track, you know? They remind me of what’s important and how lucky I am, so any time I feel lost or confused, I’ve got these four amazing reset buttons, and just like that, I’m good to go.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Victoria: Oh. Oh, there you are. You know, you just missed my father.

Ashland: Hmm.

Victoria: Mm-hmm. He claimed that he came by to check on the newman media acquisition. You know, also, he never mentioned questioning you about peru. In fact, he said that he’s not on any kind of a fishing expedition.

Ashland: Well, that’s how you catch the most fish. You distract them so they never realize the bait is hanging on a deadly hook.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Well, he does have a penchant for playing things close to the vest.

Ashland: And that’s exactly what was happening this time.

Victoria: But I think maybe i turned the tables on him.

Ashland: Really? How so?

Victoria: I — I gave him a new direction in which to direct his suspicions.

Ashland: And where would that be?

Victoria: Adam and his new accomplice, sally spectra. You know that my father was not too happy to find out that he had tapped her as his new coo. And he despises being out of the loop.

Ashland: So I’ve gathered.

Victoria: Appointing sally without his permission was a doozy, trust me. I’m beginning to wonder if maybe things are not as solid between adam and my father as they both want me to believe.

Adam: Got to call what’s going on between the two of us something, huh?

Sally: Eventually.

Adam: Um, well, ladies first. I’d like to hear your ideas. I’m sure you have a few.

Sally: I have given some thought to the two of us and all of the accompanying implications and ramifications.

Adam: Alright.

Sally: I do not regret what happened here. Or over there.

Adam: [ Chuckles ]

Sally: Or what occurred over there. And I definitely, definitely do not regret what happened here. ‘Cause that was —

Adam: Was spectacular.

Sally: You took the words right out of my mouth. Although [Clears throat] I do regret a little bit about what happened to the stapler.

[ Laughs ]

Adam: This is… collateral damage. No, but seriously, what’s on your mind? And be honest.

Sally: I just want to make sure that whatever happened here was not a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Adam: Well, I think we both know it wasn’t just a casual hook-up.

Sally: We do?

Adam: I have finally let go enough to be ready for this. I want to be with you.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] Is there any way I can convince you to say that again?

Adam: I want you. What about you? And total, total honesty.

Sally: As tempting as it is, I do not want to continue this if it means we’re gonna be sneaking around. Because I don’t want to be your dirty little secret or your guilty pleasure or anything like that.

Adam: No, neither do I. Okay? I have too much respect for you to think of you like that.

Sally: You “respect” me?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Are you blushing?

Sally: Maybe. I don’t know, am I?

Adam: Well, I guess now would be the time to tell you that i was thinking about you last night, too. And as a matter of fact, I could not get you off my mind. The way that you smile at me when you’re walking through that door without permission.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: The two of us, inches away, doing everything we can not to touch each other. And I can’t think of any reason that I would want to keep you a secret.

Victor: I can.

Victor: Looks like your hands are full. I can come back later if you’d prefer.

Sally: I’m not really sure what you think you just heard, but it wasn’T…

Victor: Son, I think you’re aware that we are in the middle of a rather sensitive negotiation regarding the sale and merger of a big company, and we don’t need any distractions, alright?

Sally: Distractions? Is that what you think I am?

Ashland: Well, I’ve seen victor and adam at odds on a few occasions, but the fact that victor sold us newman media with the caveat that adam stay on in the same position leads me to believe that victor still trusts him.

Victoria: You know, there might be another possibility. What if my father kept adam in place so that I could keep an eye on him?

Ashland: You really think he’d do something like that?

Victoria: Well, you know, given my history with adam, absolutely. I’m the de facto bad guy. Adam steps out of line, I put him back in place or I tell my father about it and he does it for us. The thing is, as much as my father wants to believe that adam can be trusted, he knows — he knows that it’s a recipe for disaster.

Ashland: Then why give him power in the first place?

Victoria: Because maybe he wants adam to learn his lesson from the best.

Ashland: [ Laughs ] You really know your father, don’t you?

Victoria: My father and I, we’ve had our issues over the years. I have been his pawn. I have even been the rook. I’ve been the queen in his real-life game of chess. But regardless of the outcome, I’ve watched him and I see how he plays the game, far more than adam ever could.

Ashland: I think it would be a deadly mistake to underestimate him. Now, he doesn’t play this game on our level, but he’s deeply ensconced with newman media, and he does not like the idea that he has to take orders from us. No, I don’t think he’s just going to sit back and accept his fate. It’s not a question of if adam is going to make his move, it’s when.

Adam: Dad, that insult was completely uncalled for. I think you owe sally an apology.

Victor: Do you? Ms. Spectra, mind my saying so, I think you’re more than just an innocent distraction. You’ve had a hell of a career in a short time. From a dress-maker to a chief operating officer of a major company. That’s a hell of a meteoric rise. How’d you do it?

Sally: Well, the offer to step into the role took me by surprise as well. Only a fool would turn it down.

Victor: And only a fool wouldn’t realize that they’re punching way above their weight.

Adam: I have complete confidence in my decision and in sally’s abilities.

Victor: I’m sure you do.

Adam: She has vast experience in running a business.

Victor: You’re talking about running a corporation.

Adam: Mm-hmm, she has vast experience in marketing, finance, and research. She actually started a fashion house and revived it with her aunt’s brand, built it from the ground up.

Victor: Aren’t you leaving out a few salient points of her résumé? That disastrous debacle at forrester creations and her rather duplicitous actions towards my granddaughter.

Adam: Okay. Well, nobody in this room has clean hands, so if we’re gonna go around pointing fingers —

Sally: Thank you, adam. I’ve got this.

Nick: So sharon and faith threw tessa and mariah a heck of an engagement party.

Nikki: I know it. Faith tells me everything.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Did she also tell you that mariah and tessa are gonna adopt a child?

Nikki: Yes, I think it’s wonderful. I’m so happy for them.

Nick: What’s that smile about?

Nikki: Oh, nothing. Um…I was just thinking that, uh…someday soon, I’ll be able to call sharon “granny.”

Nick: [ Laughs ] That is funny.

[ Sighs ]

Nikki: What — what just happened there? What’s wrong? What are you thinking about?

Nick: Uh…cassie. I, uh — I wish more than anything that she would’ve lived long enough to get a chance to experience the things that mariah is, you know? Get a job, fall in love, start a family. I love all my kids so much, but…

Nikki: They can never take the place of the one you lost.

Nick: Yeah.

Nikki: You know, cassie will always be with you. And she’d want you to celebrate all the wonderful things that are coming your way. Embrace them, darling, because life can be so short. And one of these days, you’re gonna have so many grandchildren you’re gonna have to add a wing to the house.

Nick: That sounds awesome. Okay, I guess it’s your turn. Where did you just go?

Nikki: Nothing for you to worry about.

Nick: Mm-hmm. Usually dad’s at the center of whatever’s upsetting you.

Nikki: Alright, here it is. I knew exactly who and what victor newman was when i married — every time I married him — and I adore him. Everything we’ve been through together. But there has been another entity in our marriage.

Nick: Newman enterprises.

Nikki: Yeah. I mean, it’s not just a company. It is a part of us, it’s a part of you, even though you chose another path. And it — it takes up so much space in his head and in his heart. I just wish that he had been able to find a way to keep the family together through the company.

Sally: I won’t spend my entire life apologizing for my past actions. And that includes summer.

Victor: So you have no regrets?

Sally: I didn’t say that. I made a move to get what i wanted, what I thought i deserved, and I’m sorry that people got hurt. But summer landed on both feet. I will turn newman media into a company that people will sit up and pay attention to, not because I have a bunch of degrees or accolades, but because I have spent my entire life proving people wrong, making them sit up and notice me. With all due respect, I can do this. You will see.

Victor: If you don’t mind, i need to talk to you alone, okay, son?

Adam: [ Clears throat ] Hope you’re satisfied now that sally was the right choice.

Victor: I’m dissatisfied that you didn’t consult me first.

Adam: Apparently I need your and victoria’s approval for every choice I make. Perhaps it was a mistake for me to stay on. Victoria is counting the minutes until I fail. It’s obvious that you don’t trust my judgment. So here it is, maybe newman media’s new scoop should be its own ceo’s resignation.

Victoria: Adam is nothing but trouble you know I only agreed to let him stay on to appease my father so that he would go through with the sale. But once the paperwork is done and there’s no going back on the merger…

Ashland: There’s nothing in the deal that states how long adam has to stay, just a provision that there be due cause for his dismissal.

Victoria: So we give him enough rope.

Ashland: It would be a shame if adam were to fail and give us just cause to fire him.

Victoria: What if, instead of waiting for adam to screw up, what if we just make damn well sure that he does?

Allergies don’t have to be

scary.

“The young and the restless”

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

Victor: Son, let me make this clear again. We haven’t even finalized the merger yet. It’s all in a state of flux.

Adam: I’m done justifying my hiring of sally, okay?

Victor: You’re really attached to this dress-maker, aren’t you?

Adam: She is more than that.

Victor: I bet she is.

Adam: I know that you have reasons to be suspicious, but you have only seen one side of her.

Victor: [ Chuckles ] And you’ve seen all sides, haven’t you?

Adam: The point is she is not some diabolical self-serving mercenary that everybody thinks she is. She is the right woman for this job.

Victor: [ Chuckles ] Alright, son. I won’t stand in her way as long as she’s a team player and proves that she can do the job as coo of this company.

Adam: [ Sighs ] You will not regret it.

Victor: Now, we have a more pressing problem to deal with.

Adam: Like what?

Victor: Ashland locke. May as well tell you that I have never really fully trusted him.

Nikki: Now, don’t misunderstand, I am not disparaging your father’s devotion for his family. His love for all of you is unparalleled.

Nick: Family has always been dad’s priority, but the family and the business have always been intertwined.

Nikki: Exactly.

Nick: I’m just lucky, you know, I don’t ever have to worry about that. I love working with noah, but if he told me he didn’t want to do that, if he wanted to do something else, whether it’s artwork or going to live on a fishing boat, I would tell him, “cool, I just want you to be happy.”

Nikki: I know you would. Your father has had some struggles with that.

Nick: Well, you know, dad has never had to find his grounding through, you know, his kids’ happiness. He’s always had something else to balance him out and keep him sane.

Nikki: What would that be?

Nick: Well, you, of course. You’re the love of his life.

Victor: Let me just say i have discovered some inconsistencies regarding his cancer treatment.

Adam: Okay, I mean, isn’t he legitimately getting better? Why would he fake that, unless he was trying to give victoria hope?

Victor: I don’t see why he would. She had already accepted his cancer diagnosis before they were engaged.

Adam: Well, perhaps he wants to appear strong to stay in the game, until the inevitable.

Victor: I want you to stay vigilant. If you see any contradictions in what he does, any inconsistencies, I want you to report to me.

Adam: Uh, I think I would be the last person that ashland would report to. Um…he’s made it clear that he hates that I’m staying on.

Victor: Really?

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Victor: Huh.

Adam: Made it quite clear he’s gonna be keeping me on a short leash.

Victor: Well, I’ll be damned. That goes both ways. Keeping you on a short leash means that you have a very good vantage point to see how he operates, who he communicates with.

Adam: So let me just get this straight. Are you asking me to spy on locke?

Victor: Did I say that?

Adam: [ Sighs ] Is this a test of my family loyalty? Are you hoping that I will decline your request to spy on victoria’s husband to prove that I won’t betray her?

Victor: If you love your family and your sister, you do as I say. (Jackie) I’ve made progress with my mental health.

Sally: Is it safe?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Come on in.

[ Clears throat ]

Sally: If I need to clean out my desk, please just tell me now.

Adam: You’re fine.

Sally: I need to hear the words.

Adam: You are still coo of newman media.

Sally: [ Exhales sharply ] Do you mind if I shout it from the rooftops?

Adam: I think we should let our pr department handle that.

Sally: What did victor say? I wasn’t sure how my defiant, in-your-face stance came across.

Adam: He will never admit this, but I could tell that he was impressed.

Sally: This is big. Huge. Thank you.

Adam: For what?

Sally: Defending me.

Adam: Well, my father wasn’t the only one that was impressed. I’m — I’m in awe. I… it’s not a lot of people that are brave enough to go toe-to-toe with victor newman like that.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] Well, don’t think that I wasn’t shaking like a leaf, ’cause my heart was going like a million beats a minute.

Adam: Really? I never would have known that.

Sally: Good.

Adam: Okay, this is just sure-fire proof that you are going to succeed. To never let them see you sweat.

Nikki: Your father and I do have something special. Not every relationship is meant to last forever.

Nick: You mean like mine? And I’m only saying that to save you from saying it.

Nikki: Oh. Now, I don’t want to be unkind, but I’m not terribly disappointed that some of your romances didn’t last longer.

Nick: Oh, I’m well aware. Thank you. Yeah.

Nikki: Darling, I wish you every happiness, I really do.

Nick: Thanks, mom. I’m good, you know, with new hope and the kids. I’m in a great place.

Nikki: I’m so happy to hear that.

Victor: Hey, my boy. What a nice surprise.

Nick: Hey, dad.

Victor: So how’s everything?

Nikki: He’s fine. He just came by to catch up.

Nick: Yeah, wanted to see how things were going with the latest newman/locke acquisition.

Victor: Couldn’t be better.

Nick: So that’s it?

Victor: What, you expected more?

Nick: It’s kind of a big move, and not just for the business, but…

Victor: But what?

Nick: Dad, vick and adam can’t be in the same room together for two minutes before they start fighting. Do you really think it’s a good move to force them to work together?

Victoria: You know something? I am so thrilled that you are on board. You have no idea how many times people have tried to stop me from doing something like this.

Ashland: This will require surgical precision, you know. If your father gets wind that we’re trying to undermine his son…

Victoria: [ Sighs ] He will not take kindly to that at all.

Ashland: Well, you and victor may rest assured that no part of the company will suffer. Once adam is shown the door and sally is not far behind him, i will be more than happy to step in and oversee newman media myself.

Victoria: It’s just a larger version of your former company.

Ashland: [ Laughs ] Ah, being in charge of a media group again, that would be my pleasure. Besides, I am quite used to maintaining a strong hand over everything I control.

Victoria: Everything you control?

Your heart is at the heart

of everything you do.

Victor: Well, son, I’m surprised you still give a damn about the family business that you decided to walk away from.

Nick: I left the job. I’ll never leave the family.

Victor: Well, if you want to keep peace between your siblings, then you’ll always have a place at newman, you know.

Nick: Yeah, I appreciate it. It’s just not in the cards.

Victor: Okay. Never say never.

Nick: Well, I’m sure you know I’m way more concerned about victoria getting hurt than I am the welfare of the business.

Victor: I’m glad to hear that. I, on the other hand, am keeping a very keen eye on the business.

Nick: Hmm. I just get the feeling there’s a larger play here in the works.

Sally: You don’t have to sugarcoat it. You can be totally honest with me about what victor had to say about me.

Adam: Okay, he said that he would not block your confirmation as coo as long as he’s convinced that you’re a team player and you can handle the job. Satisfied?

Sally: Oh, I believe you. But I know his reputation. So what are the chances that he approved of me to your face but will now go behind our backs to destroy my very existence?

Adam: Look, I get why you are suspicious. He has done similar maneuvers in the past. But this is not one of those times.

Sally: What makes you so certain?

Adam: While you were gone, he divulged some information to me, and he has bigger things to contend with.

Sally: Something good or something bad?

Adam: Something… something interesting.

Ashland: Have I upset you?

Victoria: You know this isn’t your company. It belongs to both of us.

Ashland: Okay, I didn’t mean to come off as overly possessive. In fact, I was speaking in the past tense, so let me correct myself. I was used to maintaining a strong hand in all I ever owned. How’s that? Was that better?

Victoria: I really hope you mean that, because we’re in this together.

Ashland: Yeah. 100%.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, come on, two minutes ago, you were talking about how great it felt to have me on your side. I am on your side, despite a slip of the tongue. Believe me.

Victoria: I want to believe you, I really do, but your last confession has me a little bit wary.

Ashland: Yes, I, uh… I am sorry that I didn’t share with you about my financing the clinic in peru. It was a — it was a stupid mistake on my part, and I deeply regret it, but listen to me. Don’t allow your father to sow seeds of doubt about me in your mind. Adam is the untrustworthy one.

[ Cellphone rings ] I better take this. I love you.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Siren wailing in distance ]

[ Elevator bell dings ] Hey. Hi. What are you doing here? I thought your shift ended a couple hours ago. Oh, it did, but I picked up another one that starts soon. It just made more sense for me to crash here than go all the way back home. Cameron’s with jake and aiden, so… huh. Hey, I, uh… I know the last couple days have been difficult for you. Yeah, my anniversary with franco, followed by the one year anniversary of his death. I don’t want to make any assumptions about how you’re feeling, but is working yourself to death really the answer?

The role of sasha gilmore is temporarily being played by helena mattsson.

[ Sighs ] I understand. The investors want us to hold off on the ipo until maxie is found. That makes total sense. It would sound too tone-deaf to proceed.

[ Sighs ] But maybe we could pivot and… no, you’re right. We should just take a breath. Um… I-I’ll talk to you tomorrow, lucy, okay? Good night. Brando. Um…this is a surprise. Yeah, um, sorry to ambush you. Um… I haven’t been able to get ahold of you for days. I even stopped by your place last night for valentine’s day. You weren’t there. Right. [ Sighs ] I-I’ve just been working a lot. Yeah, that’s why I tracked you down. Um… look… we need to say all the things we’ve been avoiding saying to each other. Well? Liesl, you scared me.

[ Laughs ] Stealth is only one of my formidable skills. How has the operation been going? Okay, so, all day I have been listening to this bug that you put on victor, and hearing someone’s life 24/7 is very tedious. And for this diabolical guy that we think that he is, his life is very mundane. He hasn’t said anything of use. Well, keep listening. If we’re right and he helped peter escape, he could be our key to finding maxie. Peter: Well, you get me and louise out of here, and I’ll tell you everything you want to know about drew. Alright. You got everything you wanted. Now call off your men. Well? We have eyes on our target. He’s alone. No witnesses. Then let’s get going. Enjoying the view? Hey. I didn’t come down here for sightseeing. I doubt you did, either. Man, I hate feeling so helpless, you know, like… I just figured the best way to beat that feeling is to come and check out the last place maxie was, just hoping that the police missed something to help us bring her back home. Anna: What’s happening? Why aren’t you in with mac? What’s going on?

[ Sobs ] Oh, my god. Peter: Don’t you worry, maxie. Port charles, all those people back there standing in our way… that’s all in the past now. We’re going somewhere no one can ever find us.

What’s on your mind? Honestly? Um… I feel like you’ve been avoiding me ever since liam’s funeral. I-I barely see you. And when I do, you know, you got your nose buried in that tablet doing work. And, you know, I understand that that is your way of coping, and the last thing that I want to do is — is get in the way of you healing. And I’m — I’m glad that you’re managing all this so well, but… the truth is… …I’m not. Sorry. I just — I just wanted to pull myself together before I saw mac. Come on. If anyone would understand, it’s mac. You just made a very hard decision. Yeah. Giving maxie’s baby back to brook lynn — it was the right thing to do. It’s the only home that little girl has ever known. I’m a stranger to that baby. I mean, I know that, intellectually. And I’m feeling just a fraction of what maxie must’ve felt for all those months. To not be able to be with the child that you love and not be able to take care of her… I know — I know that that was the right thing to do. But I still wish that I just had some connection to maxie

[Voice breaking] With me right now. Okay.

[ Crying ] Give me your hand. Okay. Alright. See that? That’s maxie’S. It was with the baby when I found her at the firehouse. And the pcpd already pulled prints from it, and they confirmed that it is hers. So, maxie left it there deliberately so her daughter would have something to remember her by. That is so maxie. I know. To be thinking ahead, even in the most impossible situation.

[ Both laugh ] Okay, you hold onto that.

[ Sniffles ] Alright? Yeah.

[ Voice breaking ] And you know that I will stop at nothing to bring maxie home. I do know that. Okay. Thank you. You need me to stick around? No, I’m gonna be fine. I just need a minute. Okay. You got this. Mm-hmm. You’ve been very quiet about where we’re going, and how you’re so confident no one will ever find us. Do you remember me telling you about my time in boarding school? Yeah. You said you were relieved when faison sent you away to school. Right. It was the only place you could really be yourself. Exactly. It was one of the happiest times I can ever remember. Well, until you and louise came along, of course. Most of the students at this academy, they would — they would go home for the summer holidays, and there were a few of us that stuck it out year-round, you know? And the school would send us off to this — oh — beautiful cabin off in the mountains. It was incredible. Anyway, last year, when I felt the walls closing in, I saw the academy was… listing the farm for sale. I arranged to buy it. I mean, not in my name, of course. Virtually untraceable, in fact, in case I ever need to disappear. I wish louise could’ve joined us. But who knows? If this estate is secure enough… we can send for her, maxie. I do appreciate your concern… but it’s none of my business, and if you needed my help, you’d ask for it, right? You’ll have to forgive me. It’s an occupational hazard. I can never stop diagnosing.

[ Chuckles ] You’re not totally wrong. I did have a good cry this morning. But I don’t have the luxury of curling up in a ball. Cameron has been so selfless, such a hands-on big brother over the past year. He deserves a chance to live in the dorms, which means I have to pick up extra shifts so I can afford it. Well, you know, I’ve been, uh, working on my listening skills. I’m actually taking a refresher course at the college, and, um…

[ Chuckles ] …If there’s ever anything on your mind that you want to talk about…

[ Footsteps approaching ] Actually… hi. Hi. Oh, sorry. Is this a bad time? No. Um, no, not at all. What’s up? Do you have a minute? So, I-I just wanted to let you know that I’ve asked the pcpd to increase patrols for brook lynn and chase’s protection just in case peter decides to circle back and make another attempt at taking louise. Thank you. Thank you. That’s very kind of you. Yeah. I hate that peter’s still a threat. I mean, I’m relieved the baby is safe with brook lynn and chase, but I hate that it comes at maxie’s expense. Obviously, we’re going after peter now, so… it would never have come to this if I’d just finished him off. I mean, I don’t know what I was expecting. Obviously, peter’s not gonna leave a copy of his travel itinerary. Plus, the police already canvassed the whole area. Yeah, I mean, but, you know, they could miss something. They’re not perfect. Really? Oh, no, no, no. That — that wasn’t a dig against dante. No, I-I understand. I get it. We’re all doing our best. Hey, how’s he holding up? Um, well, he’s driving himself hard, determined to get a lead. Not that I expect anything less. He’s smart and dedicated. I’m glad you two are in a good place. Me too. And I’m glad we are, as well.

[ Footsteps approach ] Oh, I do hope I’m not interrupting.

I have been avoiding you. I-it’s very clear you and i are grieving very differently. You need to sit with your feelings. I can’t do that. I need to talk about it with the one person that went through it with me. I mean, this whole experience, from getting pregnant to losing our beautiful son — that — that bonded us. You are the person I want to spend the rest of my life with, the person that I love. And if we can’t be there for each other now, then… then what are we doing here? Hello. Oh, hi. Give me a hug. Thank you. Ah.

[ Monitor beeping ] Mac told me that you chose to leave the baby with brook lynn and — and chase, uh, at least until maxie comes home. Yeah. Must have been a very tough decision for you. It’s — you know, it’s in louise’s best interest. And moving forward, mac and i can visit her regularly, and then we’ll no longer be strangers. That’s good. Oh, you know what? I’m gonna give you two some privacy. Thanks. And please, if you need anything at all, call me. Thank you. Alright. Thanks for coming by. So, um… how’d it go, returning louise? Our granddaughter is very happy. So that at least makes one of us. Hey. It’s only temporary, you know? Right? And like you said, we just have to keep visiting her so she learns that we’re her family, too. You’re right. She’s safe and she’s in good hands until maxie comes home. And she will come home. Peter: This farm, I’m telling you, you’re gonna love it. It’s in a very remote area, but, um… you know, the nearest village is so small it only shows up on local maps. But it’s so beautiful. And there’s a caretaker. Modern amenities. You know, it’s well stocked. It’s the best of both worlds. Everything we could possibly need, maxie, to build a life together until louise joins us. And, um, where is this place again? It’s best you don’t know. I mean, it’s for your own protection, trust me. Well, if you can’t tell me where we’re going, I’m not gonna know how long we’ll be in the car. So do you think we could pull over someplace so I could use the restroom? Is this a trick? I’m not gonna run. I know what our deal is. Yeah, I can’t do this anymore. I just — I… okay, listening to victor go about his daily business, it’s odd and exhausting. It’s a small price to pay after what you did. Your vendetta against brook lynn quartermaine is the whole reason maxie’s daughter’s identity was compromised. Consider this your penance. Yeah, you’re right. I would do anything to make it up to maxie. I just wish I could go back and not do the dumb thing that I did. I would do that. Vengeance seldom turns out the way one expects. Once we set events in motion, we cannot control the outcome. Yeah. But you should know this. If anything happens to maxie, there will be hell to pay.

[ Stammers ] Victor’s talking to someone. He’s talking to two people. Victor: Drew cain. And my dear niece. What brings the two of you down here? We’re trying to find maxie. What brings you down here? Oh, well, I was hoping to offer my financial resources to the authorities, help in the investigation. I thought maybe someone official would still be down here. And why would you offer them money? Well, truth be told, I do feel partially responsible for the horror that peter august has unleashed on us all. Well, there’s a good reason for that. You actually are responsible. Yes. Well, in retrospect, I do see that my dealings with peter were a bad mistake. And to that end, I have been making some small amends. I’ve, um — I’ve been reaching out to nikolas and spencer over the last few months, but I’m afraid our family’s still badly broken. And I left some phone calls for you, which you haven’t returned. Mm. I’m beginning to think you and your sisters don’t really want to get to know me. Wow, maybe you should be the P.I., Because you are right on the money. Now, as fun as this conversation was, if you’re done, drew and I would like to get back to work. Oh, of course. I’ll leave you to it. Oh, but before I go — drew, uh, I’m glad that we bumped into each other ’cause I have something that might be of interest to you. Oh, yeah? What would that be?

[ Whispers ] You’re active.

or’s talkingto drew cain. Is that possible? That’s certainly suspicious. Give me one of those. Sam: Whoa, whoa.

Wait, wait, wait. What the hell is that? What are you doing? Mr. Cain? Is that supposed to mean something to me? Uh…the, uh… the wsb just released my personal effects from the compound in crete, and, uh, well, this card was amongst it. Um…I can only guess this was part of the tarot card deck that peter used to condition you. Ah. Uh, you should probably keep hold of that, just in case some unsavory character tries to take advantage of your conditioning. Mm, it’s not as simple as just grabbing and flashing some random card, but you should probably know that, considering that faison and helena kept me stashed at a clinic that you ran. Oh, I was always very prudent not to dig too deeply into what helena cassadine was up to with her various projects. But you, uh… it’s a pity you didn’t take advantage of your conditioning yourself, maybe gain access to some of those memories that have been out of reach. Wait a minute. You don’t expect us to believe this B.S., Do you? Sam, just… what? Want to give me just a few minutes with him, please? Are you sure? Yeah. And if I don’t come looking for you at G.H., Then you know to come looking for me, okay? And I will. You trust that. Something you — you don’t want my niece to be privy to? Yeah. Yeah, you could say that. Aah! It’ll be so much better for us just to deal with this between us. Okay, that way, if I lose my temper a little bit and I snap your neck, then sam is not gonna feel responsible or obligated to cover for me. Oh! Aah! Oh! What just happened? I — it’s — oh, I don’t know. So much noise, I… I just meant

that, um,I shouldn’t have gone along with peter’s blackmail. Maybe I could have stopped him if I’d just turned him over to the police. Excuse me. I have to get back to work. Oh, sure. Okay. Sorry, I… I, uh, almost forgot that elizabeth, um… wasn’t aware of what I did to peter. Finn. I know you’re protecting someone else who was there when peter fell down those stairs. Just so you know, you should consider that person under my protection also. Thank you. Yeah. How you doing? Oh, where do I start? I don’t know.

[ Sighs ] Start anywhere. Come on. It’s me you’re talking to. Well, the — the search for peter and maxie is going to be grueling, but peter’s options are dwindling, and he’s going to make a mistake, if he hasn’t already. And my job is to be there when he makes that mistake so that I can pick up his trail. And I-I’ve got to… I got to end this, you know. I got to end this whole thing.

[ Sighs ] That all sounds great, really…great, but… …I was asking, how are you holding up? Oh, me? Mm. I don’t know. I mean, I’m alone.

[ Chuckles ] But I’m — I’m not lonely. Peter: Maxie, I’m right out here. I’m sorry to be standing guard at the door, but we can’t be too careful. No, we can’T.

[ Sighs ] Don’t worry. I won’t be long. Robert warned me over and over about peter. All this could have been avoided if I just believed him.

[ Monitor beeping ] Well, I didn’t see peter for who he was, either. As long as maxie was telling me that she was happy, I wanted to believe that. I wanted to make up for all the time that I didn’t spend with her and georgie when they were young. I willingly ignored the red flags. But I am done turning a blind eye, and I will never let anyone hurt my family like this again. Hey. Neither will I.

[ Woman speaking german ]

[ Peter speaking german ]

[ Sighs ] All set! I’m coming out now.

Elizabeth, I almost forgot. Someone sent this to the hospital. It’s addressed to you. Thank you. I do want to be there for you, brando. I never meant to make you feel otherwise. But if I stop moving forward, I’m afraid I’ll never start moving again. And you’re, uh… you’re a-avoiding me because I’m a reminder of what you lost? You flashed that tarot card and you were hoping to activate my conditioning. Well, guess what. Jason and britt watched peter use it to control me. And you thought you’d do the same. But you literally drew the wrong card. Don’t be ridiculous. I just showed you a playing card. Nothing magic in that, right?

[ Inhales sharply ] Look. You stay away from me, you stay away from my family, from sam, from maxie, from all of us. Do you understand that? Oh, message received and understood. I’m not gonna lie — there are times when I come home at night and I — I really miss finding you with your head buried in a medical tome somewhere, and…

[ Chuckles ] …And violet with her whole tea set all laid out, just waiting. The three of us together, you know, that was a really lovely time in my life. It was really nice. Ours, too. Good. I have to say, though, you know, I used to have this underlying tension, just like, uh… I felt like I was running to stand still, because I wanted to give you and violet all my love and attention, but then still reserve a little emotional bandwidth so I could do my work. But there were times that I just… I was really stretched thin and I — and I… I couldn’t give you both what you needed. You did the best you could. No. Sometimes my best wasn’t good enough. I know that. And I’m sorry. But, you know, the upside of being alone is that I do get to devote all of my time to finding peter and bringing maxie home, while not worrying that I’m — I’m neglecting you. Both of you. There’s A… there’s a kind of… odd satisfaction, isn’t there, in just pouring yourself into what you do well. It’s kind of like… …finding your power, in a way. Mm. Oh, god, finn. We both know that I’m a terrible muddle at relationships.

[ Laughs ] But I think that I’m a damn good spy. You are. And I’m going to use all of my expertise to… to just… clear up this mess that I’ve made here. Hey, don’t do that to yourself. Peter’s mess is his, and no one else’S. No. This all started because I believed in his redemption, and that was… no one can blame you for wanting peter to be better than he is. Well, you didn’T. I mean, you always had misgivings about him, and I should have listened to them. You know, we would be in a very different position if I had. Well, you know, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

[ Laughing ] I don’t even know what means. Well, in the analogy, I’m the broken clock.

[ Laughs ] But you… you know, your instincts… your instincts over the years have saved a lot of people’s lives. Don’t you ever forget that. Thank you. Yeah. That’s very sweet, to say that. You and elizabeth, how — how — how is it?

[ Chuckles lightly ] It’s new. Oh. That’s nice. It’s different. Yeah. Yeah. You know, um… dating a-a super spy was a unique experience for me.

[ Laughs ] You’re welcome. Yeah.

[ Both laugh ]

[ Sighs ] You seem very happy. I am. Good. Oh, good. Good luck finding peter. You need anything, you know where I am. Yeah. I’m rooting for you. Thanks.

[ Sighs deeply ]

[ Cellphone ringing ] Uh, who’s calling me internationally? Hello? Uh, is this anna? Yes. Who is this? Uh, I’m in a ladies restroom in, um — in a rest stop, uh, near st. Gallen in switzerland. Some woman, uh, left a message to call you — ah, that she needs help. And she left an earring. Oh, god. Maxie!

Your daughter is bloody brilliant! You heard from maxie? No. Do you have that earring? Yeah, I have it right here. This was found in a rest stop in switzerland. Maxie’s earring. We found her. We found maxie.

[ Laughs ] Maxie, I’m sorry I-if I was hovering on you back at the rest stop. I just… we can’t take any chances, you know? I mean, I can’t have you trying to — well, not “escape,” you’re not my prisoner, but I — let’s just say I didn’t want you to… leave, you know, without saying goodbye. Yeah, I-I get it. Good. I’m glad my doubts were unfounded. I mean, the only reason I agreed to leave louise behind is because you promised that we’d spend the rest of our lives together. And here we are. Together again. Till death do us part. Apparently, someone left a message on a mirror in lipstick, and it said, “help, call anna,” with my phone number underneath it, and this earring, which is an exact match for the one that maxie left with bailey. I mean… wow. …Louise. That’s our girl. Maxie’s telling us where to find her. Yeah. Okay, so, what’s the plan? I think we have to approach this from all angles, right? Sam, can you stay here and follow up on the victor connection? Yes, of course. Good. I will book a bureau flight for europe. And I’m going with you. Thank you. I’ll call dante, have him meet us at the airport. Great. Better reserve four seats on that flight. I’m coming with you. I assume you saw that mr. Cain had absolutely no reaction to that tarot card.

[ Sighs ] That sniveling weasel peter august lied again. Clearly, he has no intention of giving me control over drew. If I know what it is that you’re looking for, perhaps I can help. Alright, I suppose you’ve earned my trust. Drew’s memory has been altered. He once knew secrets that he no longer has access to. They’re memories that hold the key to everything. The key to my entire life’s work. What are you doing? Fix the signal! If necessary, contact that computer sprite who fathered georgie. No, I think the signal’s fine. I think that just, you know, something happened to the bug when victor was having that argument. Everything okay over here? Yeah. Everything’s great. We’re just having, you know, one of those normal, day-to-day, whispering, bickering conversations. The mayor might be the perfect person to involve in our undertaking. I don’t know if that’s a compliment or a threat. Depends. It involves a good friend of yours — victor cassadine.

[ Exhales shakily ] Elizabeth. What is it?

I just received this. Okay. “Thinking of you. We’re both thinking of him today — B.” Who’s — who’s b? If I had to guess, I-I would say betsy frank. It’s franco’s adoptive mom. I didn’t know you two stayed in touch. We don’T. Franco hardly had a relationship with her towards the end. Did she come to the funeral? She did. Uh-huh. We barely spoke two words to each other, and she left town the same day. Kind of a strange image for a sympathy card. Right? It’s very macabre. That’s betsy. That’s where franco got it from. A love of the odd kind of runs in the family. Mm. I’m sure that’s all this is. Uh-huh. Hey, um, why don’t you, uh, talk to epiphany and — and call it a night? I’m sure she can get someone to cover your shift. No, I’m fine. I promise. Are you sure? Go. Go home to violet. Okay. Have a good night. You too. Sasha: Brando, no. This is definitely one of those situations where it is not you — it’s totally me. I…

[Voice breaking] I love you. I love you, too. I know you like to present yourself as a tough guy. You own a garage. You fought in a war. But let’s be real. You wear your heart on your sleeve way more than I do, and I admire that. But it’s just not how I operate. But I will make sure you never doubt how I feel about you ever again. So what, you’re the tough guy in our relationship now? Pretty much.

[ Chuckles ] So, you think a tarot card can activate drew cain’s conditioning? Along with a certain phrase, yes. Okay. Well, we know that peter and victor were working together and that peter was the one who held drew captive for all those years. And now it seems very clear that victor wants something from drew. Right. But what? That is the question. I can’t help but wonder if this is the real reason that victor came back to port charles. Buried deep in cain’s memory is confidential information. Specifically, information as to the location of a long-buried cassadine secret. A secret I’ve been searching for for years. Now we’re just gonna have to find a new way to track that location. I’m ready to assist you in any way you need.

[ Sighs ] Wait a minute. What have we here? I do not think that this is a good idea for you to come with us on this search for maxie and peter. I just don’T. Why not? Brook lynn and chase are looking after louise and spinelli has georgie and james. Well, what about mac? He has robert. Maxie is my daughter. I need to see this through. Yeah, I understand that. But this could get dangerous, you know? I know it’s been a while, but this is not my first rodeo. Look, felicia, if you come with us, then my focus is going to be divided. I can’t look out for you and find your daughter at the same time. You have to trust me on this. Come on. Mac, I was telling felicia that I just think it’s better for her to stay here with you so that I can focus all of our attention on bringing your girl home. I know how badly you want to help maxie, but I think anna’s right. Bring our daughter back. Okay, I really think that we should get going, guys. Peter’s already got such a head start on us, plus the flight to europe’s gonna put us back even more. Okay. Sure. Get better. Thanks. Felicia, I know every bone in your body was telling you to go with anna. Mine was, too. But trust me, this is for the best. You don’t have to worry. I made a choice to be with you, and that’s not changing. I mean, I-I know it may take some time, but… I feel like I’m going to enjoy what’s in my future.

[ Chuckles lightly ] Drew: This is it. That wasn’t fun for me, you know — telling felicia that she would be a liability to us searching for maxie. But I need to know that you won’t be one, either, given what peter was able to do to you in the past. I-I’m gonna tell you what I told jason. If it comes down to it and peter finds a way to activate me for his uses, I trust you, anna, to do what needs to be done. Understood. Let’s go find maxie and put an end to this now.

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

Posted on February 18, 2022February 18, 2022 by TvMegasite Admin

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

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.

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?

“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 ]

On the next “General Hospital” —
