Ashland: Well, I’m sure you would be relieved if billy and i were to make peace. He was rather insistent about that last time he spoke to victoria.

Lily: Yes, and he was sincere.

Ashland: Really? He talks a good game, but can we really rely on his word? In tuscany, when he erased the video that gaines made about my past, victoria and I thought we could trust him. And the next thing I knew, he’s trying to blackmail me.

Lily: Okay, I have no interest in rehashing what happened with gaines. Alright, you know billy had no intention of releasing that video, and he even acknowledged that it was wrong of him to even threaten to do so, okay? But he’s paid the price. He took the hit to his reputation, so just accept that you won and maybe just leave him alone now.

Ashland: You know, what is it about that man that compels strong, intelligent women to rush to his defense? I find it utterly mystifying. Enlighten me, please.

Victor: By the way, adam tells me that billy was coming after him and newman media. But for one reason or another, he failed, you know?

Victoria: Did adam happen to tell you why?

Victor: No, supposedly, billy just dropped the idea for some reason.

Victoria: Yes, I am that reason. I found out that he was about to sue the company and force adam to admit that the story of ashland was true, so I told billy that I wasn’t gonna stand for it and I demanded that he back down or else I would come straight to you and adam.

Victor: Ah. So you’re willing to blow his cover.

Victoria: And trust me, he knew that I wasn’t kidding. If it weren’t for me, newman media would be in a huge mess right now.

Victor: Uh-huh. So then you and adam are even.

Victoria: Do you really think that it’s that simple, dad?

Victor: Oh, what’s so complicated about it?

Victoria: Oh, daddy, I did what I did not to help adam. He should’ve been protecting newman media himself.

Victor: I don’t want you to use this situation to go after adam. I don’t like it.

Sally: Come on. Say yes. Be spontaneous and come to new york with me. You said that there was work that you could do there, places to go, people to see. We’re gonna have fun together. I promise. Yes, the midwest has its charms, but in the dead of winter, wouldn’t you rather like to escape to someplace with a little more pizzazz?

Adam: It does sound very tempting, but —

Sally: No “buts.”

Adam: There’s a lot going on at work right now.

Sally: We’re talking about new york city, the media capital of the world. I’m sure half of the people that you’re making deals with are based there, and the other half have phones. So you can stay on top of it during the day while I’m collecting my interviews, and then when we’re doing working, we can paint the town.

Adam: You just have it all figured out, don’t you?

Sally: I do, actually. I used to live there. There’s a lot of great places that I can show you, and there’s a hole-in-the-wall italian place. The food is to die for. It is like having your very own nonna back in the kitchen, cutting the fettuccine by hand.

Chelsea: You’re still here? Poor sally must be freezing. You’re used to the winters here, but sally’s a california girl.

Sally: We can talk about this later.

Adam: Actually, I can give you my answer now. As much as I appreciate the offer, the timing is not great.

Sally: Okay. Here. Thank you.

Adam: You’re welcome. Okay, goodbye.

Chelsea: What was that about?

Sally: Nothing important.

Chelsea: What exactly did you offer adam? Alice loves the scent of gain so much,

Sally: You’re right, I am turning into an icicle, so I’m gonna head back inside.

Chelsea: Is there a reason you don’t want to tell me what you and adam were discussing? Because I’d like to believe you were being straight with me when you told me you were keeping things strictly professional.

Sally: Oh, my gosh, did you think I was hitting on him? Not at all. I was just sharing with him the very few ideas that you approved — not that he’s at all interested in the details — just to show him that we are working together and that I’m a team player, which is what everyone seems to want from me.

Chelsea: Well, I’m sorry that adam didn’t have the time to go over that with you. It’s probably ’cause it’s my fault, you know? He has plans with me later. I’ll be sure to fill him in for you.

Sally: Thanks. That would be great.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

Chloe: Sally, you left your things at the table. I wasn’t sure if you were coming back.

Sally: Yeah, I was just heading back in.

Chelsea: And I’m headed to the office, so I’ll see you both later. Actually, I’ll see you after your trip to new york. Have a productive time.

Sally: Will do.

Chloe: Is everything okay?

Chelsea: Absolutely. Why do you ask?

Chloe: Seemed a little tense out here.

Chelsea: Well, I got the impression sally just made another move on adam, and he shot her down right in front of me. So go easy on the poor girl. She must be humiliated.

Chloe: [ Sighs ]

Lily: When victor puts a target on your back, you need all the support you can get. So you may be on his good side now, but I would not count on that continuing.

Ashland: Well, if your goal is to elicit sympathy for billy, it’s not working. He was given ample warning that, by trying to derail the wedding, he’d be crossing the line. But that didn’t stop him from flying gaines over to tuscany, did it? So as far as I’m concerned, billy deserves every consequence of his own exceedingly poor judgment.

Lily: Okay, I don’t know what victor told you, but he didn’t go after billy because of what happened at the wedding. And it definitely had nothing to do with his loyalty to you. He has hated billy for year. He will use any excuse to go after him.

Ashland: I’m well aware the bad blood between them goes back a long way and that tuscany was just the final straw.

Lily: No, there is no final straw for victor. It’s an ongoing vendetta for him.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] Your daughter, matilda, is it?

Lily: I think we can leave my daughter out of this.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] How charitable would you feel if someone had repeatedly broken her heart the way that billy has done to victoria?

Lily: So, sorry, what are you saying, that it justifies the three of you continuing this war into infinity? I mean, is that what you’re trying to tell me?

Victoria: I’m not attacking adam. Look, billy and adam are locked in this endless battle. Billy wants me to believe that he’s left that all behind, but I’m sorry, I’m not falling for it.

Victor: Mm, and you shouldn’T.

Victoria: Just as you should be willing to admit what is staring you right in the face. You’ve given adam way too much responsibility. He can’t handle it. I get why you did it.

Victor: Do you think I have blinders on?

Victoria: No, of course not, daddy. I mean, I know that it was a loving gesture, a very generous gesture between father and son.

Victor: And I’m not gonna rip all that out from under him by selling newman media to you.

Victoria: Well, then, fine, if you feel that adam needs propping up, then take the proceeds from the sale and buy him a new company.

[ Sighs ] Maybe this time, supervise him a little bit more. But setting all of that aside, and purely from a business standpoint, can you imagine combining these companies? Chanccomm combined with newman media and newman/locke, I mean, we would be an unstoppable force. We would the dominant player in the communications industry. Daddy, how can we pass on that? Cats really know how to do… less.

Sally: What? I didn’t do anything.

Chloe: You weren’t flirting with adam out there?

Sally: It was a work conversation.

Chloe: Mm-hmm.

Sally: Okay, in case you’ve forgotten, adam asked to speak with me. And he’s still our boss. What was I supposed to do, spit in his eye?

Chloe: [ Chuckles ] You — you are very lucky that you’re going to new york to take these meetings.

Sally: Yeah, I hope this trip really is about me interviewing young and up-and-coming designers, and not something that you and chelsea cooked up just to get me out of the way until you can figure out how to get rid of me.

Chloe: We would be shooting ourselves in the foot. You are the face of the brand. No one wants to see you go.

Sally: Except chelsea.

Chloe: Not even her. Look, you guys just have some tension that you need to work through, and hopefully that will be easier once you’ve had some space from each other.

Sally: Yeah. You may be right about that.

Chloe: I know I am.

Sally: Somehow chelsea’s convinced herself that I’m the problem. The only thing standing in her way of some grand reunion of her perfect family, but adam has zero interest in that, whether or not I’m in the picture. With me gone, she may finally have to face that sad reality.

Lily: I really don’t understand. What is it about hounding billy that gives you such enormous satisfaction?

Ashland: Well, not much at this point. The man has so little left to lose. He’s already trashed his own career, and as far as seeking revenge, you know, there’s a point of diminishing returns.

Lily: Okay, billy hasn’t trashed anything, okay? He’s coming to work with me at chancellor as my coo, and he will redeem himself as long as you, victor, and adam don’t interfere.

Ashland: Now I see what has you so riled up. You want to know how this is going to affect chancellor. Well, it’s a smart move by keeping an eye on billy where you can see him, keep him busy, you know, ’cause a guy like that, if he gets bored, he’s bound to create his own drama. Seldom a good idea.

Lily: I really don’t need management advice.

Ashland: It’s fine, I get it. You need to know if you’re inviting more retribution by bringing billy on board. Now, you needn’t worry about me. My focus is elsewhere.

Lily: Okay, good.

Ashland: I was just telling your cousin nate that my lab results were rather encouraging after the latest rounds of this new treatment. It’s not to say that I’m cured, but it’s the best news that I’ve had in quite a long time.

Lily: Wow, ashland, that’s — that’s really great news.

Ashland: Thank you. As a cancer survivor, I thought you’d appreciate what I’m going through. And the last thing that I want with my new lease on life is to expend any energy — negative or positive — on billy abbott. So if he sticks to his word and moves on from the past, he has nothing to fear from me.

Lily: Honestly, that’s really good to hear, and truly, ashland, I really do wish you well.

Ashland: Same to you. You and billy.

Victor: Oh, sweetheart, you outbid us for chanccomm. Why isn’t that enough?

Victoria: Hold on a second. Excuse me. Aren’t you the one who just said that I’m your daughter?

Victor: It’s a major triumph. Now you want to buy newman media on top of it?

Victoria: Yes. It would be a breeze. Am I right?

Victor: Oh, I see. Overconfidence is a very dangerous thing, you know.

Victoria: Daddy, cyaxares was originally a part of locke communications. It would just be a simple reintegration.

Victor: Let me ask you, does ashland regret selling the company to us? Does he disapprove of how adam is handling things?

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Ashland’s focus has been on his health. That is his number-one priority. But, yes, we have discussed what it would mean to combine the strengths of these companies. Newman media, chanccomm, and newman/locke — I mean, there would be endless opportunity for synergy and cross-promotion.

Victor: So then ashland is on board with your sudden urge to gobble up my company?

Victoria: You know what he’s always said. He’s always said that what he likes about me the most is my ambition.

Victor: Well, that’s what i like about my daughter, as well, you know. Which doesn’t mean I’m gonna sell the damn company to you.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Why not?

Victor: Because I want to give your brother adam more time to prove himself as ceo. I’m not gonna yank the damn thing out from under him just because you saw through billy’s duplicity before he did.

Victoria: Well, I won’t deny that I’m disappointed, but maybe it is for the best. Since adam seems distracted with all of the issues in his life, it’s only a matter of time before he runs the company into the ground, at which point, i will buy it for a lot less.

Victor: I don’t see that happening, okay? Not only do centrum multigummies

taste great.

Lily: Sondra, hey, it’s lily. Hi, question for you. Do you have a copy of the baxter acquisition contracts? Uh, oh, okay, great. Yeah, if you could send me a copy of that when you get a chance, that would be amazing. Thank you. Actually, while I have you on the phone, is billy in with jill right now? Oh, no, no, don’t interrupt. I was just wanted to, you know, make sure it was going well. Oh, okay. That sounds like a good sign. Great. [ Chuckles ] Well, thank you for the intel. Okay, have a good day. Bye.

Victoria: Hello.

Nikki: Well, hello. Congratulations on your big win. I was so excited to hear that jill accepted our bid.

Victoria: Chanccomm will make a wonderful addition to the newman/locke portfolio.

Nikki: Oh, yes, everything is falling into place beautifully. Business-wise, acquiring chanccomm is a tremendous opportunity, and I’m just as pleased with the side benefits.

Victoria: Such as?

Nikki: Well, for one thing, billy doesn’t have a media outlet to weaponize against our family. I mean, we never could trust his judgment, even when the two of you were still together.

Victoria: No argument there.

Nikki: And amazingly, your father seems just fine with you besting adam. I think he was really very impressed with your boldness.

Victoria: I just came from seeing dad, and he congratulated me.

Nikki: Well, how about that? A major business upset that didn’t cause any strife. Very refreshing.

Victoria: Well, I wouldn’t get too used to it if I were you.

Nikki: Well, as this family’s resident optimist, I hope that it will start a new tradition. And here’s another one. It’s just a little something from your right hand to mark the occasion.

Victoria: Oh, mom, you shouldn’t have done that.

Nikki: Now, I know that champagne is the traditional celebratory gift, except that i don’t drink. And the other popular favorite is cigars.

Victoria: Ugh, no.

Nikki: Exactly. Then I thought about flowers, but I figured that ashland would have that covered, and then inspiration struck.

Victoria: Shoes! Oh! They’re perfect.

Nikki: I hope that when you wear them, it will remind you of your victory and they’ll bring you a little extra luck.

Victoria: Mom, they’re gorgeous. I love them. Thank you so much.

Nikki: Oh.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ]

Nikki: You’re welcome, darling.

Victoria: Mm. Oh, I just wish that I had been wearing them when I went to meet dad.

Nikki: I thought you said things went well.

Victoria: The first part of it did. That’s when he said that he respected my — my powerful business move.

Nikki: And then what?

Victoria: Well, then I made another one, which didn’t go over nearly as well.

Victor: Have you got a minute, son?

Adam: Dad, hey. I wasn’t expecting to see you back here.

Victor: Let’s talk about billy’s scheme.

Adam: I’m not sure there’s much more to say about it. He saw that the plan wasn’t gonna work, so he waved the white flag. It’s a total surrender.

Victor: Apparently it wasn’t about waving the white flag to prove to everyone that he was a bigger person, as lily claimed.

Adam: I assumed as much. What did you find out?

Victor: Victoria found out what his plan was, and she put a stop to it.

Adam: I assume that she told you about it.

Victor: He had intended to pressure you into admitting that the things he wrote about ashland locke were true. That way, he would be vindicated, and so would chanccomm.

Adam: Obviously, he never would’ve succeeded. So how did victoria uncover all this?

Victor: That doesn’t make any difference. She was very upset by this whole thing.

Adam: Okay, well, last time we were all together at the ranch, she made a point to tell me how concerned she was with billy’s bad behavior, so I’m assuming up until that point, she had fooled him.

Victor: You’re missing the point, son. Victoria saw the whole picture, you didn’T. And you should have.

From the very first touch,

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Nikki: You and jill haven’t even signed the papers, and you’re gearing up for more?

Victoria: Look, I want to go after newman media for the same reason that I acquired chanccomm.

Nikki: Sounds like you want to own the world.

Ashland: Why, nikki, you say that like that’s a bad thing. But I do think that you have hit on the perfect slogan for our company — “newman/locke. We own the world.”

Victoria: For the record, that’s not my goal.

Nikki: Well, then, what is?

Victoria: Look, chanccomm used to belong to newman enterprises, and newman media used to be a part of locke communications group. I just want to bring everything back under the same umbrella, where it belongs.

Ashland: Sounds reasonable to me.

Victoria: It’s classic roll-up strategy. You maximize your resources, you cut your operational costs, you increase your reach and your revenue.

Nikki: Uh-huh. Is that the only appeal?

Victoria: Why? Is there something else that you think it could be?

Nikki: Oh, I don’t know, maybe another way to stick it to adam.

Victoria: Oh, mom. I have far more important things to do with my life. By the way, since when did you care so much about adam’s welfare?

Nikki: Oh, believe me, i don’T. I’ve just been enjoying the peace in our family, and I don’t want anything to disrupt that.

Victoria: Well, I guess you and dad seem to feel the same way, since he turned down my offer in order to keep adam employed and to protect his delicate feelings. But I think that you should probably be on the lookout for another pair of spectacular shoes, just in case dad comes around.

Ashland: Shoes?

Victoria: Yes, it’s our new ritual. Instead of cigars and champagne to celebrate our business conquest, baby gets a new pair of shoes.

Ashland: I like it.

[ Laughs ] And, nikki, just for future reference, I wear a size 11.

Nikki: Duly noted.

Victoria: You might want to start shopping soon, however, since things could move along fairly quickly.

Nikki: Darling, I hear what you’re saying, but I hope that you will let go of this idea of buying newman media. The last thing we need is to have you and adam in the middle of a turf war.

Victoria: Well, I really don’t think there’s any way of avoiding that, mom. Maybe dad could buy adam a new plaything.

Nikki: Oh, victoria.

Victoria: I’m sorry, I can’t help it. It just bugs me that there’s a-a company out there with my name on it that is not a part of my empire.

Adam: Victoria is the mother of his children. She had more opportunities to catch him in a lie than I did. And, I mean, why wait for billy to confess before she came to you anyway? Why didn’t she warn us?

Victor: You’d rather quibble over timing instead of acknowledging what almost happened. A lawsuit against our company would have been rather devastating, son.

Adam: Okay, let’s be clear. Nothing almost happened. I was still in a fact-finding stage. I would’ve figured it out with or without victoria’s help. And even if I hadn’t, I wasn’t gonna use the videos of billy drinking and gambling.

Victor: That’s tantamount to billy boy saying he had all the facts against ashland locke, but he didn’t intend to use them.

Adam: It’s nothing like that. And I’m nothing like billy abbott. I was only gonna use the videos if we needed to challenge his credibility.

Victor: He would’ve pushed you to use them. So what was this spectra woman doing anyway, walking around with a camera and taping all of the antics of billy boy? Was she in on it?

Adam: [ Scoffs ] Of course not.

Victor: Oh, really? How do you know?

Adam: Because I know.

Victor: Huh.

Adam: Sally was just as shocked as I was when he blurted out the truth.

[ Sighs ] Look, I get why victoria’s worked up, okay? She wants to protect her husband, she wants to protect her business reputation, but i promise you, we were never in any peril. And neither was newman media. You don’t need to spend another minute thinking about this.

Victor: Now, you agree that we have a lot of plans for our company, right?

Adam: I agree.

Victor: Mm-hmm. And, uh, you also agree that we accomplished what we set out to do with billy boy, namely bring him to his knees.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Trust me, I’m more than ready to wash my hands of billy. Focus on the job and all the responsibility that you’ve given me.

Victor: Talking about that, son, I am going to take a more active role around here.

Adam: Dad, you… that is completely unnecessary. Don’t need to do that.

Victor: I’m not asking you for approval. This is not up for debate. I’m gonna take a more active role around here. Alright? You have a nice day, son. Kids can change minds,

Victoria: Tell the vendor it’s called a deadline for a reason. No, no excuses. Well, then use a north american source. We have contracts to meet here.

Ashland: A firm hand at the wheel. I like it.

Victoria: Oh, something smells good. Is that coffee?

Ashland: Indeed, a fresh pot at that. Please, take a break with me.

Victoria: Gladly.

[ Sighs ] Take a seat.

Ashland: No, I’ve been sitting all morning. Feels good to move around.

Victoria: Look at you. Look at you, you’re so full of energy.

Victoria: I love that you feel well enough to spend all this time at the office with me.

Ashland: It’s my favorite place to be.

Victoria: Oh. That’s so sweet.

Ashland: You know, I’m surprised that nikki didn’t get behind the idea of you acquiring newman media.

Victoria: That’s okay. I’m not gonna hold it against her. She wasn’t exactly thrilled en we went after chanccomm, until it became clear that it wasn’t gonna cause a rift between my father and me. You know, it’s in her instinct to reduce family tension.

Ashland: Well, I got to hand it to you, you were spot-on about victor’s reaction. It’s as if he was proud that you had the guts to snake the deal out from under him.

Victoria: Well, I haven’t always understood my father the way that I do now. I used to think that he favored his sons over his daughters, especially adam because he’s so ruthless. But then I realized that he just likes winners.

Ashland: That’s very insightful.

Victoria: And it plays to my advantage right now, since i seem to be on such a roll. Ever since I fell in love with you, coincidentally.

Ashland: I hate to break it to you at this point, but victor did break your perfect winning streak, rejecting your bid to buy newman media.

Victoria: True. But he left the door open for me to change to change his mind.

Nikki: Hi, darling.

Victor: Hi, sweetheart. Hi, my baby.

Nikki: I don’t think I have to guess about what dilemma you’re wrestling with.

Victor: Oh, yeah?

Nikki: Yeah, I just spoke with victoria. Found out she has her sights set on newman media.

Victor: Mm-hmm. Had she consulted with you about that?

Nikki: Why would she? I’m only her coo.

Victor: Meaning you’re as surprised about that as I am?

Nikki: Our daughter never seems to run out of ideas.

Victor: Uh-huh. So what do you think about this one?

Nikki: I think that is a discussion you should have with her. And I’m sure she will have a very compelling offer for you, should you ever be willing to entertain it. And, of course, that would be your decision to make.

Victor: But you’re not willing to tell me what you think about it.

Nikki: Did you tell adam that victoria suggested this sale?

Victor: Son, I have respect for what you have gone through in your life. I know you had a tough time growing up. But I’ve always had faith that you would work it all out and evolve to be the man that you’ve become now. I’ve made it perfectly clear to everyone in the family that i will never turn my back on you. Ever.

Adam: I’m going to prove to everyone that you were right to believe in me.

Chelsea: Knock-knock.

Adam: [ Sighs ] What is it?

Chelsea: Well, I popped in to return a few e-mails, and i realized we never made a specific plan.

Adam: For what?

Chelsea: For our get-together later. You get first dibs on my time. You decide when and where.

Adam: Um, look, something has come up.& I’m just — I’m not sure that i can do it anymore.

Chelsea: Okay, well, you have to eat, right? I mean, I can bring you takeout later.

Adam: Look, if it’s important, why don’t we — why don’t we just get it out of the way right now? What is it you wanted to say?

Chelsea: Are you trying to make a point or draw some sort of line? If so, you can accomplish that without being a total jerk.

Adam: You’re right. I’m not trying to make a point. It’s not even about you. I’m annoyed with somebody else, and I shouldn’t take it out on you. I’m sorry.

Chelsea: Apology accepted.

Adam: Thank you.

Chelsea: What happened?

Adam: I was just reminded, when you are a newman, there is no such thing as independence.

Unleash the freshness…

Lily: Thanks again. Oh. “I’m so proud of you, babe. And I’ll definitely be back for your first day as ceo. I know you’re gonna do amazing things at chancellor. Love you madly, billy.”

[ Chuckles ] Ohh.

Victor: [ Sighs ] You know, this is an unforgiving game. You can be an expert, can even be a grand master, but you take your eyes off this damn board for a few seconds or make a wrong move, the entire strategy falls apart. All is for naught.

Nikki: I know you’re drawing an analogy, but I’m not sure who is in danger of making a mistake like that. Adam and victoria or perhaps you?

Victor: Well, to be frank with you, I’ve been very happy with how things have been going with the newmans. You know, abby has her family back. Nicholas and I are talking again. And adam has turned his life around and has become part of our family.

Nikki: Ashland’s health is improving, too. Victoria’s feeling very optimistic about their future together.

Victor: And, baby, you and i have never been stronger.

Nikki: Yes, we have attained a rare state of equilibrium. One that I wish would last forever, but…I don’t know, it somehow seems precarious.

Victor: Yeah. It’s somewhat like waiting for the other shoe to drop, you know? And when it does, it could mean a major shift in our family.

Nikki: The fact that you’re this worried has me worried.

Victor: Don’t you worry now. Okay? I adore you. I love you.

Chelsea: Victor’s back to being victor again, isn’t he? Figures. But you kind of had to guess this was gonna happen eventually anyway, right?

Adam: Well, it doesn’t make it any less irritating.

Chelsea: I’ve lost count of how many times that man has pushed you aside and patronized you. It’s kind of the dance you do. But you always come out ahead in the end. My money’s on you.

Adam: I don’t know why I let him get to me.

Chelsea: Because you love him. And victor loves you, too. Exasperating as he can be sometimes.

Adam: Thank you.

Chelsea: For what?

Adam: It’s nice. It helps, having someone around that knows my history.

Chelsea: Well…it’s my history, too. So if you ever need someone to talk, someone who’s well-versed on the never-ending saga of the newman clan and all their foibles, I’m available.

Adam: Well, I might just take you up on that.

Chelsea: Well, how ’bout right now? Drinks on me.

Adam: Hmm.

[ Chuckles ] Why not?

Chelsea: Yeah.

Victoria: My father wanted to know what you thought of my interest in buying newman media.

Ashland: Well, I hope you told him I support you 100%.

Victoria: I did. But I got the sense that he might have seen it the other way around. That you wanted cyaxares back, and I offered to buy it just to make you happy.

Ashland: Just when I thought he was done underestimating you.

Victoria: And overestimating adam.

Ashland: Is there any truth to what nikki said? I mean, does some part of you relish punishing adam for his past crimes?

Victoria: It’s not about punishment. I’m not a vindictive person.& It’s about recognizing that adam never earned that position in the first place. Yes, look, I know people probably think the same thing about me, that I am where I am because of nepotism. It’s a — it’s an assumption that I fight every day.

Ashland: I know you do.

Victoria: Which makes it all the more frustrating that adam actually was handed an entire company by our father.

Ashland: Well, what victor giveth, he can taketh away.

Victoria: And I’m gonna make sure that happens.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

She knew. There is no question I’ve been talking to a lot of concerned parents. Terms of their respiratory systems? Are they breathing normally? Granny, I told you I will do it myself. Do not say anything to my dad. There you are. Did you forget about bailey’s appointment? We waited for you as long as we could, but eventually we had to leave without you. Something came up. How’d she do? Amazing. 95th percentile across the board. “Something came up” as in…? My grandmother. Come on, brook lynn. You can tell me anything. What’s going on?

[ Sighs ] Tracy figured it out. She knows bailey is maxie’s daughter. I’m really glad that we could reschedule, maxie. Oh, thanks, trish. Yeah. Me, too. Oh, I can tell. Your enthusiasm is overwhelming. I’m just not looking forward to another grilling session on louise. I’m assuming that’s why we’re here. Hey. I got your favorite. They’re cold. So? You know how much I would have killed to eat cold crab cakes when I was in pentonville? Especially from the metro court. It’d just be better eating them there. That’s all. I…just thought it’d be nice to catch up in a more, uh, intimate setting. Oh, my god. You know as well as I do it’s not brunch without bottomless mimosas and “people-watching.” So why the sad, hidden-away meal? Mrs. Scorpio. For you. I know how long and boring guard duty can be. Maybe this will help perk things up. Thank you. Very much appreciated. Well, I’ll be sure and tell my husband how diligent you are, officer, uh…baird.

[ Chuckles ] Can I help you with something? Well, actually, I was hoping to have a quick word with the prisoner, but I was told that visitation is limited. Uh…not for the acting commissioner’s wife. Felicia. What are you doing here? I wanted to see you face to face. Are you looking for anything… in particular? A soul. What can I get you? Oh, no, thanks, man. I’m just waiting for someone. Is this him? Drew cain. Well, fancy seeing you here. Uh, shall we break bread?

You and me break bread? Yeah, I don’t think so. Bones, maybe. You’ve been through quite an ordeal. Your hostility is to be expected. My brother is dead because of you. No, it’s my understanding jason died trying to save you, britt westbourne, and liesl obrecht from peter august. Who was your ally. The two you were working together. Allegedly. Allegedly. Careful with the insinuations. I’m not the one who needs to be careful. Hey, hey, hey. Drew. Drew, don’T. Don’T. Come on. Let’s go get a table. Yeah, I just need a second here because I got a few things I need to clear up with mr. Cassadine. Do you think you should intervene in whatever that is? I’m pretty sure drew’s got it. Okay, so now we’re back to the grilling portion of our visit. I’m not grilling you. No? No. I reserve that for suspects, not victims. Maxie, your mother and i are very worried about you, that’s all. Oh.

You are worried? I wake up every morning facing another day without my daughter, hoping that she manages to stay safe because if peter finds her — he won’T. You don’t know that. So, forgive me if I’m not overly concerned that you and my mom are worried. Duly noted. But you love louise, and we love you. And the way you are handling this — is wrong? Is admirable. It’s admirable. You’re putting one foot in front of the other for the sake of your children. And, honestly, I don’t know how you’re doing this. But what we want you to know is that you don’t have to do it alone. Let us help you. You’ve already helped. And I-I don’t know what else there is that you could do. The trail has run cold. Yeah, I know. My suggestion is that we look at it all again with fresh eyes. Is there anything else that you can remember? I told the police everything I know. Really? Everything? Why aren’t you freaking out? I am. Just…internally. Well, join me externally, would you? Look. I’m trying not to overreact. Well, have you met my grandmother? On a scale of 1 to 10, how screwed are we?

[ Sighs ] Well, the good news is my granny will do anything for family. Even you? Hey. I’m sorry. It’s just I know you guys always haven’t had the best relationship. No one has with her. But when push comes to shove, I-I know she’ll have my back. What about me? What about you? I mean, I’m — I’m here to protect bailey. Is it — she knows that that’s the reason I’m here, right? She does. But she doesn’t think it’s enough. And I mean, she’s not wrong because if peter has proven anything, it’s that being confined does not render him powerless. Okay, so what’s an alternative?

[ Sighs ] My grandmother thinks the best way to keep bailey safe is to put distance between her and peter. How much distance? An ocean’s worth. Sorry to keep you waiting. Or not, because you didn’t wait. Okay. Valentin, my man, listen. We — we — we — hi. It’s austin. Yeah, we should have this conversation about brook lynn. She can’t just destroy people’s lives anymore, and I think we should plot our…retaliation. Yeah, okay. That — that’s a little extreme, um, even for you. I was just thinking, you know, paternity fraud because she falsified bailey’s birth certificate, naming you as the father and not chase. Oh, you did? Okay, well, that’s too bad. Can you go after her civilly? I see. [ Sighs ] Alright, well… um… you know, maybe this should be a more productive conversation if we were able to have it face to face, you know, if you weren’t too busy doing other things. Can we do that? Great, because as we speak, I’m pretty sure brook lynn is… concocting more schemes on other unsuspecting marks and we need to figure out… how brook lynn is vulnerable and take her down.

Don’t lose it because of this piece of garbage. Mm, listen to your ex, drew. Well, aside from the piece of garbage bit, of course. I think I was actually spot-on. Don’t squander your second chance at life. Maybe it was peter’s idea to hold me captive, but you provided the facility. You provided the guards. Those years that I lost are at your door just as much as peter’S. Of course, I regret any dealings I had with peter august. It was a terrible lapse in judgment. As for your captivity, you seem to be fully recovered. You know, you may have gotten a pass from the wsb, but you will never get a pass from me. You even twitch in the wrong direction, and I will make you wish that you stayed dead. Okay, fine. I don’t want to be seen in carly’s hotel, alright? It’s awkward, to say the least. That I get, but the metro court isn’t the only game in town. There are other restaurants with much better ambiance than my office, by the way. I don’t know. Add a little mood lighting, maybe some artwork? You could have a destination on your hands.

[ Sighs ] Brad. Does this have anything to do with your aunt selina warning me to stay away from you? No, I make my own decisions. And look, I’m with you right now. In hiding, basically. Besides, my aunt’s out of town.

[ Scoffs ] Okay, then. Be straight with me. What’s going on? Tracy wants you and bailey to move to amsterdam? Come on, you can’t be considering this. My granny can be very persuasive. And without valentin’s considerable resources, including yuri, this house isn’t as safe as it used to be. Then we’ll hire security.

[ Scoffs ] And how suspicious will that look? Valentin leaves, he takes his bodyguard with him, and then all of a sudden, weeks later, we have security 24/7? So I’ll move back in. That’s a terrible idea. Why? Uh, three words for you — michael and willow.

[ Scoffs ] Oh, we’re fine now. Yeah, “fine” is a far cry from shacking up together. You sure you want to do that to yourself? Yeah. I would for you. And — and bailey. That means a lot to me, but, um, I just don’t think that’s a good idea. Have you talked to maxie about this? Because you can’t just take her daughter halfway across the globe. Okay, well, that’s why we’re having this conversation. We have to come up with an alternative, and stat. Because my grandmother is right about one thing. Peter will only grow more dangerous as his prison time approaches, okay? And — and if he figures it out like tracy did, everyone in this house could be at risk. Well… you see a soul in there? I’m coming up empty. But if you still have a heart, you’ll let me know where my granddaughter is. Come on. You’re a pi. Can’t you find her yourself? This is a joke to you, isn’t it? All the lives that you’ve taken, the families that you’ve destroyed.

My family is destroyed. Who answers for that? Well, hopefully you! Oh, my god. Peter, don’t you take responsibility for anything? It was your lies that drove maxie away. And what did you do? Try to change? No, you doubled down and — and had her kidnapped, hired a deranged nurse to induce maxie’s labor. Who does that?! I love maxie. Felicia, all I wanted was for us to be together. You believe that, don’t you? That this is all coming from a good place. Because it was! If w– if all of you hadn’t poisoned her against me, I never would have had to go to such extremes. Well, at least you admit that it’s extreme. You know what the sad thing is? That there were people that really cared about you, people that believed in you — anna, valentin, maxie, james.

[ Chuckles ] And instead of living up to that love, you let them down. Oh, and you certainly wouldn’t know anything about letting people down, would you… princess? And then the ambulance took austin and me back to G.H. And, well, I mean, you know the rest. Yeah. And austin doesn’t remember anything after he was knocked unconscious? Not as far as I know.

[ Sighs ] I don’t know what I’m missing. Peter spirits you away so that you can all be a family again. Who else would take louise and why, you know? Didn’t peter say he had information on where louise is? Oh, he’s lying. You know, he’s just trying to trade information on the disappearance of your daughter to get out of his long prison sentence that he’s facing. Or he’s using her as a bargaining chip. Anything’s possible, I suppose. But the forensics went through those woods with a fine tooth comb. There’s no outside witnesses. There’s no other evidence. Peter, if he had an accomplice, then… I don’t know. I mean, they were a magician. I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be flip, but just all of it. It just — it just always just leads me back to the last people that saw louise, which were you and austin.

Before I forget… what’s this? It’s — it’s for you. Scout drew it. It’s you.

[ Gasps ]

[ Chuckles ] Oh! I totally see the resemblance. Well, you gotta, uh, look at it on the right angle. Yeah, no, no. I get it. I think. Oh, man, this is awesome. Thank you. Of course. She wanted you to have it. So… well, it’s getting prime real estate on the fridge, that’s for sure. Really? You think the cook’s gonna allow that? Like she’s got a choice. Yeah, I’ll do lots of begging. How about that? Good luck with that. Hm. Hey, I’m, uh… I’m sorry I almost lost it out there. Are you kidding me? I am impressed that I didn’t walk in on you strangling victor. Yeah, me too. I mean, restraint has never really been my forte, has it? Wow. The new and improved drew, huh? New? Sure. Improved? Well, we’ll see. Hey, I wanted to meet up because… I ran into valentin. What’d he want? It seems that he’s already got what he wants. My elq shares. Every time somebody asks me about that day, I feel like I did something wrong. Oh, come on, maxie. No one’s blaming you. You were kidnapped. You were forced to give birth in the middle of the woods. I’m sorry. I’m just — I’m just trying to process things out loud, that’s all. Yeah. Um, if you’ll excuse me for a minute. Are you alright? Yeah, yeah. I just — I need a minute.

[ Sighs ] Was, uh — was that maxie jones? Was that an altercation with drew cain? Well, more of a misunderstanding. I’m sure you’re misunderstood. Ah. Finally, someone who gets me. I am not in the mood. What do you want? Well, I thought as my shadow you’d already know. Or were you too busy discomforting maxie? She is no business of yours. A damsel in distress is always the business of a man of chivalry. It may come as a surprise to you, but we’ve all moved on from the ’50s. What was she upset about? Like I said, maxie is none of your business. Time is of the essence, peter. What’s the key to getting drew cain to tell me what I need to know? First, you get me maxie and my daughter. It’s called compassion, anna. It’s dreadful what happened to maxie’s baby, isn’t it? And what the hell do you know about my baby? So we agreed — no amsterdam. No amsterdam. But bailey and I still have to go somewhere. What are you thinking? I don’t know. Maybe the metro court? I mean, hotels have security. No? Too many people, too few questions. It doesn’t scream “safe” to me. Okay, well, I could talk to uncle sonny. What, just… tell him the whole story? Good point. Look, we have to come up with something. I promised maxie that I would keep bailey safe. And I just — I cannot fail now. I have an idea. Tell me. A place that has 24-hour security provided by a trained officer of the law. You don’t mean…? Move in with me.

Gonna tell you about the shares once you got settled in. I figured you had a lot to deal with. Thank you. I mean, as you know, I’ve never been super involved at elq. But living at monica’S… and now your family’s probably all over you. Pretty much, yeah. And you can only use the excuse “I was being held captive” for so long, you know?

[ Chuckles ] Not that funny. No. Anyway, I, uh — I really wanted to get caught up to speed, and I thought maybe you’d be the right person to fill me in. How did valentin of all people end up with my shares? Um… scout’s shares were in a trust. And then things with shiloh came to a head, and I went to prison. I heard about that. I’m so sorry. Yeah, me too. It was — it was really tough on the kids. I can imagine. And — and you were eventually paroled, right? Yeah. But it — it came with a condition. I couldn’t have contact with anyone that had a criminal record. Meaning… you weren’t allowed to see jason. Can we put it up to re-acclimation? I just got out of prison, for pete’s sake. Might be some time before I’m “on” again. You were plenty “on” when I visited you in said prison. Now that you’re a free man, it’s all doom and gloom? I don’t buy it. Will you cut me some slack? Life on the outside isn’t exactly one big party for me. Alright? I-I no longer have a husband. His family’s furious with me, which makes like half this town off-limits. Oh, a-and get this. Turns out, labs aren’t too keen on hiring baby-napping ex-cons.

[ Scoffs ] Shocker! So my career is just as done as my marriage. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to be insensitive. You’re right. Coming back to this new reality is… a lot. A lot. A lot. Hey, I-I’m here to talk or scream or whatever you need me to do, okay? Thanks. At least we have each other, right? I have missed you.

[ Exhales sharply ] I’ve missed you, too. I’m just still… processing, I guess. Okay, but no pressure. Could you maybe process a little faster? I went out with this new wingman the other night, and let’s just say he could stand to take a lesson from the O.G. Maxie. Please, sit down. It’s, uh, lovely to see you again. Yeah, the feeling is definitely not mutual. Oh, I’m sorry. Something I said? More like things that you’ve done, especially teaming up with peter. So let me repeat — what exactly do you know about my daughter? Well, only that peter was anguished by her disappearance and desperate to get her back. You don’t think he was putting on a show? Oh, god, no. Not about his daughter. No. His only aim was to reunite his family. Right. There you have it. Peter is looking for louise also. Peter will never get his hands on louise. Do you hear me? Never. You certainly are formidable, aren’t you? Don’T. I will do anything to protect my child. And I sincerely hope you get her back.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh, excuse me. Oh, my son can’t make lunch. He’s been held up. Well, ladies, it’s, uh — it’s been a pleasure. Wish I could say the same. Don’t call me princess. Peter: It’s true, isn’t it? I mean, after all, you are…royalty. And just like most royalty, you just can’t escape the mundane, bored you. Being a wife, hmm? Being a mother. No, dullsville, right? You wanted to seek out adventure, go travel the world. And while you were busy doing all of that, your daughters were growing up without you. You’re a nasty piece of work. I can be. There. See how easy it is to admit who we truly are? You try. Go ahead. Give it a try. I made mistakes. Mistakes? Is that what you call being M.I.A. While your child is murdered? You know, you can come at me all you want, felicia, but I know what this is truly about — your pathetic attempt to try and make up for your failures as a parent. I would never fail my daughter that way. Well, I guess we’ll never know, will we? Because of you, louise may be lost forever. But what if louise isn’t lost? What if… I can lead you straight to her? Chase: I’m bailey’s father. The two of you coming to live with me, it would be brilliant.

[ Sighs ] If you do say so yourself. Come on. It would help sell the idea of us co-parenting. No. What? That’s it? Just no? What would people say, chase? You have a one-bedroom apartment. Yeah, with a very comfy couch, which you’re already acquainted with. It’s not practical. I’m kidding. You can have the bed this time. Look, I-I did and I still do really appreciate you letting me crash, but we weren’t exactly the best of roommates, and this time we’d have a whole nother human with us. Bailey would need her own space. Ideally, yes. Then let’s get something bigger. You mean like rent a place together? That’s actually not a terrible idea. Gee, thanks. And I bet lucy could help us find a temporary rental. I mean, it would keep tracy at bay, allow maxie more time with her daughter, and bailey would be that much harder for peter to find. Has anyone ever told you you are a genius? No. Well, you are.

[ Knock on door ] Dr. Gatlin-holt. Not sure if you remember me. Victor cassadine. I remember you. You’re the first person that peter august asked to speak to when he woke up. Just so. I do apologize for the intrusion. Uh, a nurse told me I might find my son in here. Clearly — clearly, she was mistaken. Yeah, valentin split probably a half-hour ago. You want to step outside, you can text him. Do you, uh — do you have a moment? Mm… no, not — not really. I’m curious as to what first made you suspect brook lynn quartermaine was lying about her baby’s paternity. Each cassadine is worse than the last. Valentin excluded, obvi. Well, he certainly had his moments, but he’s come a long way. And victor, as vile as he is, he did give us reason to rule peter out. He doesn’t have louise. Okay, um, so what do we do now? I have an idea, but I’m gonna need your help. If I did pull valentin’s coat to the idea that brook lynn was lying, why — why — why would that be any of your business? That’s pretty straightforward, really. Uh, may I? You see, valentin is my son, and little bailey was passed off as my granddaughter. Now, valentin is neither naive nor particularly trusting, yet he was thoroughly convinced, and you were the one who opened his eyes to the, uh, unfortunate truth. How do you know all this? I make it my business to… know things, especially where my family is concerned. Right. Why not just talk to valentin about it? Well, I was a little… hesitant to reopen an old, painful wound that’s only just beginning to heal over. Personally, I think valentin’s letting brook lynn off way too easily. I urged him to retaliate. And here I thought that was my great big idea. So you mean valentin is going to move against brook lynn? We’re talking about it, yeah. We’re discussing options. Which brings me back to my original question. What made you first suspect that brook lynn was lying? W-why did I think brook lynn was lying? [ Laughs ] Because she’s a manipulative, scheming person, and she only thinks about herself, the quartermaines, and elq stock, and she nearly cost me my position here on staff, and she definitely cost me my rightful claim to my father’s inheritance. Well, I’m sorry you had so much trouble. But at least it gives you the advantage of knowing clearly who brook lynn really is. Mm, yes, no, I know clearly. I know more than valentin. And maxie, too. I’m sorry. Did you say maxie? I should be a genius more often. Don’t let it go to your head. Look, I’m gonna, um… I’m gonna go talk to the nanny and get bailey’s things ready. Yeah, I’ll text, um, lucy for some listings. Okay.

[ Sighs ] What? There’s one problem we didn’t consider. Just one?

[ Scoffs ] What is my dad gonna say? He wasn’t exactly happy the first time I crashed with you, and he’s the one who kicked me out. Actually, we’re on way less shaky ground now, so don’t worry. I’ll help you come up with a believable reason for our move and… under one condition. What? You spring for a house cleaner this time. After we lost you, valentin made me an offer, and he holds the voting proxy for danny and scout until each of them turn 21. And in exchange valentin cleared the way for you to see jason. Yeah. Look, it was never meant to be permanent. No, I get it. I do. You were prioritizing getting your family back together. Exactly. Isn’t that ironic, though? I went through… all those lengths to keep my family together… and it just all fell apart. What happened there, if you don’t mind me asking?

[ Inhales sharply ]

[ Sighs ] Um… I guess the simplest way to put it… …is I changed, and he couldn’T. He was committed to sonny and his business, and I needed security for myself and my family. Like what we had when we started aurora. Aurora. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. And like what you have now with dante. Yeah, with dante, there’s a — there’s a balance, you know? There’s a sense of adventure there that I-I still have without putting myself or the kids at — at risk. A win-win. Yeah. Anyway, my deal with valentin was obviously contingent on your death, and you are very much alive. So if you want… your shares back, I’m — I’m sure there are grounds for that. My family would be happy. What matters is if you’re happy. Well, when I figure out what makes me happy, I’ll let you know. Hello. [ Scoffs ] Did you hear what I said? You’re, uh, replacing me with a new wingman. No. Well, I might have to if you don’t tell me what is wrong. I just did. What else is wrong? This is more than just reentry, and we both know that. I’ll stay here all day if I have to.

[ Sighs ] I’m afraid of my aunt.

[ Scoffs ] That’s ridiculous. She can’t dictate your life. Actually, she can. Because she’s letting you stay with her? Forget it. Stay with me.

[ Scoffs ] Yeah. I think you’re forgetting who my aunt is.

[ Chuckles ] Sorry, I — I’m a product of cesar faison and liesl obrecht. I’m not easily intimidated. Well, maybe you should be. What aren’t you saying?

[ Sighs ] My aunt is very… skilled at getting people to do her bidding. People like you? S-she made me do something horrible, and I don’t want anyone associated with me to pay the price.

I don’t believe you. Oh, but even if there’s a chance I’m telling the truth, isn’t it up to you to do everything in your power to ensure maxie can hold her child again? Or are you just gonna… let her fend for herself, like always? Truth or not, how do I fit in? Well, being the wife of the police commissioner, you’re in a unique position to ensure I’m treated fairly. If by “treated fairly” you mean exonerated… I’d rather see you executed first. Ah, yes, but then you’d be discarding all hope of ever seeing your granddaughter. I don’t believe you. You’re a liar. Just like your father. But guess what. I stood up to faison, and I faced down ryan chamberlain, and I cannot wait to see you end just as pathetically as they did. You know, when maxie was pregnant with louise, we used to stay up together late at night and we’d lie there and talk about the future. Maxie always said the key to raising a happy, healthy child was to remember how you mothered her and then do the opposite. Your soul isn’t lost. Oh, no? Clearly, I was looking for something that never existed.

[ Door opens ]

[ Chuckles ] So, if we get you back to pautuck, and I know this is going to be hard, we’ll get you into the woods and maybe you could relive the night that you gave birth to louise. If you’re comfortable with that. I-it might help jog your memory. Um…if you think that will help. I do. Great. Okay. So, I’ll make arrangements for both of you as soon as possible. Wait, I’m sorry. Um, who — who else is coming? Austin. I just think that it would be helpful to tap into his memory as well. I just saw maxie. Oh, tragic, her child going missing like that. I must say, I am in awe of that woman’s strength and courage. Maxie’s incredible. She’s an incredible person. And, uh, brook lynn… is just gonna be brook lynn. She’s gonna take advantage of her. So…maxie jones is another of brook lynn’s victims? I mean… I don’t know. I don’t think maxie would put it quite like that. You know, I-I — maxie insists that they’re friends, which just makes zero sense because maxie also admitted to me that not too long ago, they couldn’t stand each other. So I wonder what changed. Maxie has a huge, gaping hole in her heart, and brook lynn is allowing her to spend some time with the baby. So, y-you’re saying that brook lynn used bailey to take advantage of maxie, the way she did with valentin? I-I don’t think that maxie would put it exactly like that. I — [ Sighs ] I think if — if the circumstances were different, if the circumstances were better, then maxie you would see brook lynn more clearly for who she is. But losing louise, that’s hard, and I think spending a little time with bailey eases that pain. Hmm. And that works out really well for brook lynn because most people don’t trust brook lynn as far as they can throw her. And having maxie as a friend and as a defender, I think people are more likely to give brook lynn a second chance. So what I’m hearing is maxie’s friendship is an asset that brook lynn is not willing to give up, which means that maxie could well be the key to getting back at brook lynn. I think I found the perfect listing. Look. Ooh. That’s a little out of my price range, brook lynn. Oh, please. Granny said she’s committed to my safety, so let her put her money where our mouth is. Besides, it’s way cheaper than moving me across the globe, so she should really be thanking me. Okay. Let’s do it. Yeah? Yeah. First, we have to talk about boundaries. Ground rule number one.

[ Clears throat ] You put your socks away this time, and I will not be watching “the bachelorette.” Oh, you will, and you will love it. Okay, just don’t tell anyone, alright? Okay. And let’s talk about your protein powder that gets everywhere. I love that stuff. Yeah, well, try using it without making such a mess. M– you want to talk to me about a mess? I’m a woman, chase. I have a lot of things. Too many, if you ask me. Well, I didn’T.

[ Chuckles ] I’m gonna… go check on dante. Tell him I said hello. I will. Hey, thanks for coming. Yeah. Always. Um… I know I’ve — I’ve said this to you already, and I’ll probably say it a hundred more times, but I’M… I am really, really glad that you’re back. And I’M… really happy that we were able to maintain this relationship. Some things are unbreakable. Our bond is one of them. Yeah. You’re legitimately shaken up about this. Whatever it is, brad, it — it can’t be that bad.

[ Scoffs ] Oh, it is. Try me.

[ Sighs ] I’m an ex-con, right? Yeah, so am I. Big whoop. So my previous crimes were nothing compared to this. It’s gonna — it’s gonna come back to haunt me. I j-just know it is. In a way…it already has. Hey, you’re starting to scare me now. What did you do? And what does this have to do with your aunt? I can’t tell you. You’re going to hint at this horrible thing, imply that associating with you will put me in danger, and — and then not tell me about it? Just leave it alone, please? I thought we were best friends. We are. Okay, then let me help you.

[ Whispers ] I poisoned peter august. Sorry. What? I poisoned peter august.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Chad: I’ll just spin it. I’ll tell shin that I thought ej was guilty and that I didn’t wanna let him get away with it. That I was serving the course of justice.

Kate: [Sighs] Shin doesn’t care about serving the course of justice, okay? He just cares about market share. And when one co-ceo is trying to send the other co-ceo up the river, well, that just looks really bad for the corporate image.

Chad: Well, I-I have to– I have to take my chances. I mean–I mean, ej’s been a real son of a bitch since you got back to town, but– but he’s my brother, and he welcomed me into the family when he didn’t have to, so I’m sorry, but I’m gonna have to, um, I’m gonna have to tell them that he didn’t do it. Tell them the truth.

[Apprehensive music]

Melinda: You’re counsel for mr. Dimera? I was under the impression that he’d be representing himself.

Belle: Oh, well, you were misinformed. About a lot of things, actually.

Melinda: This is hardly standard procedure.

Belle: Well, it is well within my client’s rights. Oh, I didn’t make it official. Mr. Dimera, would you accept my services as your counsel?

Ej: Oh, I’d be happy to.

Melinda: Well, isn’t this an interesting arrangement. One that I can’t imagine will go over well with the board, considering your new client was ousted from dimera.

Belle: Oh, melinda. I think you should be focusing on coming up with a new strategy because you’re gonna need it.

Rafe: This doesn’t make any sense. What the hell is going on here?

Shawn: Everything all right, boss?

Rafe: Not exactly.

Shawn: Now what’s got you so upset?

Rafe: I’m being set up. Someone’s got it in for me.

Gwen: Oh, for god’s sake! Oh, ava.

Ava: Hey.

Gwen: Hi.

Ava: Bad day?

Gwen: Yeah, you could say that.

Ava: Let me guess. Xander still hot on sarah’s trail?

Gwen: [Sighs] Hotter than ever. And now he’s teamed up with my little sister.

[Doorbell ringing repeatedly]

Abigail: Hold your horses, I’m coming!

Xander: Took you long enough. You have to answer the door around here?

Abigail: It happens to be harold’s morning off, and, you know, you might have called first.

Xander: I didn’t wanna waste any time after I got your message, so out with it. What’s going on?

Abigail: I may have a lead on sarah.

Steve: No, brady, I’m sorry. I don’t have any leads on kristen yet. But I’m on the case, and i should have something to report soon. Yeah, you’ll be the first to know. All right. Sweetness? Just about ready in there?

[Suspenseful music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Kayla: Uh, how do I look?

[Chuckles]

Steve: You are a vision. Even as a bride of christ, you’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. Oh. But you’re still having doubts, aren’t you, baby?

Kayla: How could I not? Dressing up as a nun? It’s blasphemous, steve.

Steve: Sweetness, it’s for a noble cause. I think the big dude upstairs will forgive you. Besides, we don’t have many options. We need a way into that convent if we’re gonna find kristen. And this is it.

Xander: You have a lead on sarah? Why didn’t you just say so?

Abigail: Well, I just did.

Xander: Well, what is it?

Abigail: Well, I went to the dimera travel department to see when the jet was last used for non-dimera business.

Xander: And when was that?

Abigail: Well, it-it wasn’T.

Xander: Wait, that’s your lead? How is that a lead?

Abigail: Well, because we have more than one jet. The company keeps several older models as a part of their fleet that can be reserved for personal use, and apparently, one of them was used for non-official business around the time that sarah disappeared.

Xander: Oh, my god, was sarah on that jet? Did you–did you show the pilot a picture?

Abigail: I’m afraid that I couldn’T.

Xander: And why not?

Abigail: Because he’s gone.

Belle: [Clears throat]

Ej: Not that I don’t appreciate this, but just the other day, you went on and on about not wanting to represent me, yet here you are. What made you change your mind?

Belle: Mm, someone may have convinced me that you might be innocent.

Ej: And to whom am I indebted for rising to my defense?

Belle: Nicole walker.

Ej: Nicole stood up for me?

Belle: Yeah, but she still hates your guts, and that’s pretty much a quote.

Ej: And I don’t blame her, but I’m grateful that she convinced you to do the right thing, even though defending me will, in all probability, risk your position as general counsel at dimera.

Belle: Hmm. I can handle the board.

Ej: And what about your other concern?

Belle: Don’t worry. I can handle sami too. This is the sound of nature breathing.

Barnes: The court will now hear the case of the state versus elvis dimera. Are all parties present?

Melinda: Da melinda trask for the people, judge barnes.

Belle: Isabella brady for the defense, your honor.

Barnes: So the defendant has chosen not to represent himself?

Ej: That’s correct, your honor.

Barnes: Well, I applaud your decision. Now that we have a lawyer squared away, we can start with jury selection.

Ej: Actually, your honor…

Belle: Ej, what are you doing?

Barnes: I’ll allow it. What is it, mr. Dimera?

Ej: If it pleases the court, I would like to waive my right to a jury trial.

[Suspenseful music]

Steve: Listen, baby, if you’re still having second thoughts about this…

Kayla: No, no, it’s important, and it’s, uh, it’s for a noble cause, like you said.

Steve: Definitely.

Kayla: Yeah, and, um, and so I’m just gonna put my worries of blasphemy aside, and I’m– I’m going to impersonate a nun. And whatever it takes to find kristen, I am–I’m all in. Do you really–do you really think that kristen’s at that convent?

Steve: Well, she hid out there once before. Stands to reason she’d try it again.

Kayla: Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense.

[Apprehensive music]

Steve: Let’s get this show on the road, sister.

Xander: The pilot’s dead?

Belle: No, no, he’s not dead. He just–he quit, and apparently, not that long after the non-official flight possibly transporting sarah to god knows where.

Xander: Now, that’s not suspicious at all.

Abigail: It does seem to suggest some sort of payoff. Or that he at least knew how to get out while the getting was still good.

Xander: He? So you have a name?

Abigail: Unfortunately, that’s all I have.

Xander: Well, that’s a start. Let’s hop online and track him down.

Abigail: Oh, yeah, him and along with everybody else that’s got the same name.

Xander: Well, how do you suggest we narrow it down?

Abigail: Well, obviously, I’m gonna go back to the dimera travel department, and I’m gonna see if he left any contact information.

Xander: So why do you need me?

Abigail: I don’T.

Xander: You called me.

Abigail: To update you. I’m–it’s your big idea to come and show up here.

Xander: Fine, and I am very grateful for the opportunity, but, uh, I don’t wanna slow you down, so I’m gonna go. Please call me as soon as you learn anything, yeah?

Abigail: Yeah, I–yes. Will do.

[Scoffs]

Gwen: Of course, abigail says their looking into sarah’s disappearance has nothing to do with me. That she’s just trying to look for her long-lost cousin, but you know what, I don’t buy that for a single minute.

Ava: Mm. Little miss goody two shoes, right?

Gwen: Those are the ones that you need to look out for the most. And especially with abigail, it’s all–pfft. It’s a big act.

Ava: Really? Well, you should know.

Gwen: I do. I do know. I’ve seen her dark side. I’ve seen her vengeance. I’ve seen her cruelty. How she revels in payback.

Ava: Oh. Well, that’s something we have in common. Because I am reveling in payback, myself right now.

Shawn: All right, so both of these perps are saying that you planted evidence against them?

Rafe: So they claim.

Shawn: But I mean it’s– obviously, they’re lying, right?

Rafe: Of course they’re lying. Really, you even have to ask that? I’d never do anything like that. Even if I did, you know, in all the years in my career, I have never had one complaint against me, and now I’ve got two in the same damn day?

Shawn: So you’re sure these guys don’t know each other?

Rafe: Right now, I’m not sure of anything. You know, as far as I can tell, no, they never crossed paths on the outside, but I mean, once they’re in the system, who knows?

Shawn: Well maybe–I don’t know, maybe they ran into each other and they realized they had something in common. You know, punish you for– for whatever reason, and they, you know, decided they would, i don’t know, help each other out. Or…

Rafe: Or what?

Shawn: Or someone put them up to it. We hit the bike trails every weekend

Rafe: So you think someone put these clowns up to this?

Shawn: Well, it makes about as much sense as two perps at the exact same time claiming that you framed them.

Rafe: Yeah. Sure does.

Shawn: So can you think of anybody who has something against you? One that might, you know, wanted to get revenge?

Rafe: No. No, not off the top of my head. I mean, look, as commish, you always got the target on your back.

Shawn: That’s right. This person–I mean, this person’s gotta have a real axe to grind.

Rafe: Yeah. Sure does feel personal.

Shawn: So can you think of anybody who might have a grudge against you?

Gwen: So you plan to get revenge on rafe for sleeping with nicole?

Ava: You disapprove.

Gwen: Oh, come on, you know me better than that. I’m just very interested to hear how you’re going to do it.

Ava: Well, it’s already in motion. And let’s just put it this way: Rafe is going to find himself in a little bit of trouble at work.

Gwen: What kind of trouble?

Ava: So I, uh, have a connection with a few gentlemen who have found themselves recently wrongly incarcerated, and I may have convinced them to file a report saying that a certain commissioner planted evidence on them.

Gwen: Whoa.

[Laughs] I mean, that’s a–that’s a fairly serious crime, is it not?

Ava: You bet your ass it is. Cops go to jail for that.

Gwen: So you want to send the man that you say that you love to prison?

Ava: Okay, look. This is just between us, okay? I need you to keep your mouth shut about it.

Xander: Hello, ladies. What does gwen need to keep her mouth shut about?

Abigail: Hello.

Chad: Hey! Hey, what are you doing here?

Abigail: I just stopped by travel to, uh, see what they got going on, but, uh, departmental meeting, so it’s a ghost town.

Chad: Ah, sounds like the new editor in chief at “the spectator” is hard on the trail for sarah horton.

Abigail: Doing my damndest. It’s mostly for aunt maggie.

Chad: Yeah.

Abigail: So you wouldn’t happen to have any information about one of dimera’s old pilots, would you? Guy named ned grainger?

Chad: Uh, ned. Yeah, he was here for years until last spring.

Abigail: Do you know why he left?

Chad: I don’t, but it was pretty sudden if i remember correctly.

Abigail: I don’t suppose you’d happen to have any of his contact information, would you?

Chad: I do not. Yeah, but now that I think of it, it was a headache for payroll. Grainger’s last check was returned, and they were never able to track him down.

Abigail: Well, damn.

Chad: Yeah. Why, what’s going on?

[Knock at door]

Steve: Excuse me. Mother superior?

Mother superior: Good evening, father, sister. What can I do for you?

Steve: Well, reverend mother, we’re in need of assistance, and we’re hoping you can help us.

I may have moderate to

severe rheumatoid arthritis.

Mother superior: Well, of course, I’d be happy to help in any way I can. You are visiting here, I assume?

Steve: Yes, yes, we are.

Mother superior: Would you like some water?

Steve: No, thank you. You see, sister mary elizabeth has been part of an exchange program with a small parish in the tuscan countryside. Very small, in fact, and I’m afraid their convent was lost in a fire.

Mother superior: Well, how dreadful. Was anyone hurt?

Steve: No, no, no, thank god. But there is a matter of lodging. Everyone else besides the sister has been relocated to convents temporarily.

Mother superior: I see.

Steve: And I am scheduled to fly back to the states in just a few days, so I would hate for sister mary elizabeth to be forced to cut her mission short. So I’m hoping and praying that you can take her in.

Gwen: Hi, I um, uh, thought you were on your way to go and see abigail.

Xander: I already did.

Gwen: Oh. Right, well. Okay, you know ava, don’t you?

Xander: In a way.

Ava: Unfortunately, when we knew each other, I was a bit worse for wear.

Xander: In my former life as a caregiver. But don’t worry, those days of altruism are long behind me. So what exactly were you two discussing that gwen needs to keep her mouth shut about?

Ava: Oh. Rafe’s surprise party. His birthday is in a few weeks, and I am getting a jump-start on planning, so I was swearing gwen here to secrecy.

Gwen: Trust me. My lips are sealed.

Ava: Thank you. You too. All right, need to get out of here, I got a lot of things to do, so I will see you later.

Gwen: Good luck with the party.

Xander: That was strange.

Gwen: What was?

Xander: You two. Chatting away? How do you even know each other?

Chad: Hey, I’m sorry I couldn’t be more help, but I really gotta go. I’m due in court.

Abigail: Oh, ej’s trial. Yeah.

Chad: Yeah, I’m the first witness, so I don’t wanna be late.

Abigail: Look at you all excited to bury your brother.

Chad: Yeah, no. I’m starting to think that he might be, uh, might be innocent.

Abigail: Really? You were ready to burn him at the stake, what happened?

Chad: I–look, ej’s been an ass. The whole thing with johnny’s movie, coming onto you to try to get under my skin, trying to undermine me here at dimera. I was–I was angry, but I may have overreacted a bit. Everything ej’s pulled, he doesn’t deserve to go to prison.

Abigail: You found proof that he masterminded sami’s kidnapping. He deserves to go to prison for that, and he will. After you testify.

Chad: Not necessarily.

Barnes: Mr. Dimera, did I hear you correctly? You waive your right to a jury trial?

Ej: I do, your honor.

Belle: Judge barnes, may I have a moment to confer with my client?

Barnes: It would certainly help if the defendant and his counsel were on the same page, so we’ll take a five minute recess. Not a minute longer.

[Gavel bangs]

Belle: What the hell are you doing? I am the attorney; you are the client, which means you sit there and shut up and let me do my job.

Ej: I’m just saving us a lot of time.

Belle: By opting out of a jury trial?

Ej: I’d rather take my chances with the judge.

Belle: Ej, you are an attorney; you know full well it is harder to sway a judge than a jury!

Ej: Considering I’m innocent, I shouldn’t have to sway anyone. Besides, I think he’ll be fair.

Belle: Really? Why?

Ej: I’m feeling lucky, i guess, and again, I’m innocent, so how could I lose?

Belle: What is going on here, ej?

Ej: What’s the big mystery? I trust the system, and I’m willing to let it work.

Belle: Oh, please. You don’t trust anyone or anything. So what is it, you think that you’re gonna get to the judge? Or have you already?

Dry eye symptoms

driving you crazy?

Ej: I just think barnes seems like a reasonable person. And given the details of this case, I certainly trust someone who has passed the bar than the hoi-polloi of this town who would love nothing more than to bring down a one-percenter.

Belle: Oh, god, do you know how arrogant you sound?

Ej: I’m simply speaking the truth.

Belle: Okay, well, then do us all a favor and stop speaking. Okay, we are gonna run this defense my way, or I’m out.

Ej: I am very grateful to have you on my side, belle. So I will leave my fate in your very capable hands.

Abigail: So you’re not necessarily gonna testify about what you know? I don’t get it.

Chad: I’m gonna give my testimony, and it will be up to the courts to decide what to do with him.

Abigail: But that’s an obvious decision–I mean, you have hard evidence that ej is guilty as charged, so I mean, when the court hears that– oh, my god. Don’t tell me you are thinking about lying on the stand.

Chad: I didn’t say that.

Abigail: But you are thinking about it. Oh, my god, chad, no. I mean…

[Sighs] Whatever twisted loyalty dimera thing you feel like you have with your brother, you cannot possibly be thinking about perjuring yourself.

Chad: Look, I’m well aware of my legal obligations. I have to go.

Abigail: [Sighs] I’m coming with you.

Chad: I thought you were tracking down information on grainger.

Abigail: I gave him a message to get back to me. I can’t do anything till they respond.

Chad: You don’t have to go just for me.

Abigail: I’m not. Reporter I assigned to the trial is sick, so I’m covering it for “the spectator.”

[Sighs]

Gwen: How do I know ava? Um, through her son, charlie.

Xander: Charlie dale? My former intern who turned out to be a rapist?

Gwen: Yeah. Yes, that-that charlie. After he died, um, I wanted to offer ava my condolences. It was such a horrible tragedy, after all.

Xander: Did you know him?

Gwen: No, not well, um. We sort of just bumped into each other once or twice. Ended up sharing sob stories. Turns out we both know what it feels like to be an outcast. We sort of bonded, really.

Xander: Oh, so you bonded with a psychopath.

Gwen: Look, I’m not defending what charlie did, I’m just saying that I–well, I saw that he had this other side to him. He just seemed lost. Like he was sensitive, and i felt that ava deserved to know that her son wasn’t just some soulless monster. You know what I mean?

Shawn: Well? Someone come to mind?

Rafe: [Sighs] Okay, this is gonna sound weird, but there’s, uh, there’s this stuffed bear that nicole and i kinda shared custody of.

Shawn: Duke?

Rafe: You’ve met?

Shawn: Well, I-I might’ve, you know, caught a couple of the hand-offs, so.

Rafe: Right, okay. Well, um, yeah, nicole found him on her desk without a head.

Shawn: What? Oh, poor guy.

Rafe: She was totally upset, which, uh, obviously, was the intention, and, you know, the grudge may have been against nicole, but since, you know, I kinda owned duke as well…

Shawn: Well, I mean, it’s worth looking into.

Rafe: Yeah.

Ava: Hi.

Rafe: Hey.

Ava: Hope I’m not interrupting.

Steve: So reverend mother, may we impose on your generosity and ask you to provide a room for sister mary elizabeth?

Mother superior: We’d take in all god’s creatures if we could. In fact, we actually have had several guests staying with us these past few months.

Steve: You don’t say?

Mother superior: And it would certainly be a shame for your– for your mission to be cut short.

Kayla: Well, completing this mission would mean the world to me, mother superior.

Mother superior: Such dedication. Oh, of course, the sister and i will do everything possible to find you a place. I just need to speak with them first. May I get back to you?

Steve: We’d be so grateful.

Kayla: Yes.

Steve: You can reach me at this number.

Mother superior: I’ll call you as soon as I have an answer. God bless you, sister. And you, father…?

Steve: Nichols.

Mother superior: Oh, father nichols.

Steve: Right.

Kayla: Thank you.

Steve: Good night.

[Pensive music]

[Knock at door]

Mother superior: Enter.

Kristen: Excuse me, mother superior. I just saw your visitors leave. May I ask who they were? My plaque psoriasis…

Mother superior: Father nichols was hoping we could take in sister mary elizabeth. I told him I’d have to talk to the sisters, as is our practice, but I do hope we can give him some good news. After all, we do try to find a place for everyone, as we did for you.

Kristen: Yes, and I am so grateful, especially since you’re allowing me to wear this habit, even though I don’t deserve it, given that I’m not one of the sisters.

Mother superior: Well, we do care about you, dear. Even though we would have loved if we’d brought you back in the fold, we understand that your life took you in another direction.

Kristen: Yes, yes, it did. I am–I deeply appreciate you letting me lie low here. I mean, wearing this habit, it makes it less conspicuous.

Mother superior: I understand, and we will always do our best to protect you.

Kristen: Means so much to me.

Mother superior: Well, that pile of papers will still be waiting for me in the morning, so…

[Both laugh] So I think I’ll retire for the evening.

Kristen: Uh, mother, would you mind if I use phone?

Mother superior: Oh. Help yourself, dear. Good night.

Kristen: Good night.

Steve: Well, that went well.

Kayla: I think it did. Don’t you?

Steve: Well, yes.

Kayla: Yeah.

Steve: You were an awesome nun, sweetness.

Kayla: Oh, I hardly said a word.

Steve: Oh, yeah, but your demeanor was right on target.

Kayla: Yeah?

Steve: Yeah, and i appreciated how deferential you were to father nichols.

Kayla: Oh, really? Something you’re not used to.

Steve: No, it’s new. I-I kinda liked it. Change of pace.

Kayla: Mm. Well, so what now?

Steve: Now it’s pretty much a waiting game.

Kayla: That’s kinda how it is in pi, right?

Steve: Yeah, yeah, usually.

Kayla: Yeah.

Steve: But, uh, it’s not usually in a room this nice. With a partner as beautiful as you.

Kayla: Ah. But not deferential.

Steve: No?

Kayla: No.

Steve: Is that over already?

Kayla: Mm-hmm. Once that collar came off.

Steve: [Sighs] Well, truth is, I like it better when you don’t defer.

Kayla: Really?

Steve: Mm-hmm.

Shawn: I’m gonna get some coffee.

Rafe: Ava.

Ava: Yeah.

Rafe: What are you doing here?

Ava: Well, I just thought I’d bring you some food from the bistro. But if you’re busy…

Rafe: Yeah, yeah, actually, yeah, I’m kinda in the middle of something that’s demanding my attention.

Ava: Mm, big case?

Rafe: Yeah.

Ava: Oh.

[Chuckles]

Rafe: Can’t really get into it right now.

Ava: Got it.

Rafe: Yeah.

Ava: Okay, so why don’t i just go drop this off in your office for later? I mean, if that’s okay.

Rafe: Okay.

Ava: Yeah?

Rafe: Sounds great. Thank you.

Ava: Mm-hmm.

[Chuckles] Bye, shawn.

Shawn: Bye. Everything all right?

Rafe: I don’t know.

Shawn: What you thinking?

Rafe: I could be way off-base here, but, uh, I’ve got the feeling that ava is involved in this.

[Suspenseful music]

Ava: Ah, rafe. You hypocrite. Look at you, showing the world what a devoted boyfriend you are while all the time, you are just having sex with nicole on the damn conference table. I thought rafe was one of the good guys, that I had to be a better person for him. Thought nicole was my friend. But she’s just a two-faced whore. They completely humiliated me. I’ll tell you this, pardner. Oh, they are not gonna get away with it. Oh, I hope it was worth it, rafael, ’cause you’re gonna pay for it now.

[Cell phone ringing] Ava vitali.

Kristen: This is kristen dimera. Ava, damn it! Did you sic your little friend patch on me?

Barnes: Ms. Brady, the five minutes are up. So if you and your client are done conferring, I’d like to begin this trial.

Belle: Your honor, I, um, would like to ask for more time.

Melinda: More time? That’s unbelievable!

Belle: My client deserves the best defense I can provide, and I just got the case this morning.

Melinda: Your honor, this is outrageous.

Belle: All I am asking is that we adjourn for the day and begin calling witnesses tomorrow.

Melinda: Judge barnes, mr. Dimera is obviously very pleased with his counsel’s confidence, and he’s clearly waived his rights to a jury trial, so I see no reason whatsoever to delay these proceedings.

Barnes: I’m inclined to agree. Ms. Trask, you may call your first witness.

Belle: Her first witness isn’t even here, your honor.

Melinda: The prosecution calls chad dimera to the stand.

[Tense music]

Get ready. It’s time for

the savings event of the year.

Barnes: Mr. Dimera, nice of you to join us.

Chad: I’m, uh, I’m sorry I’m late, your honor.

Ej: If it isn’t judas himself. Do you see that? My own brother has come to bury me.

Abigail: You ready?

Chad: As I’ll ever be. Uh, there’s something I want you to know before I testify–

[Gavel bangs]

Barnes: Mr. Dimera, the court is waiting. If you would take the stand, please?

[Suspenseful music]

Kayla: I-I can’t– I can’t do this.

Steve: What’s wrong?

Kayla: I just–I just can’t– I just can’t be kissing you in a nun’s outfit. It’s sacrilege!

Steve: Oh, come on! If we were a real priest and nun, I would understand, but come on. Come here. Come on, baby.

Kayla: Mm, ugh.

Steve: Not happening?

Kayla: It’s just– this is weird.

Steve: [Sighs] Okay. Not that I expect you to defer to me on this, but is there any reason you can’t go and get into something more comfortable? Doesn’t make you feel ke you’re being blasphemous and sacrilegious, hmm?

Kayla: I think I could manage that.

Steve: Okay.

Kayla: And it’d be good, too, because then I wouldn’t have to do a whole slew of hail marys or anything like that for kissing in a nun’s outfit.

Steve: Yeah, yeah.

Both: Okay.

Kayla: I’ll be right back. Okay.

Ava: Kristen, what are you talking about? Of course I didn’t sic steve on you.

Kristen: Then why did he and kayla show up here tonight?

Ava: Where’s here?

Kristen: [Groans] It doesn’t matter. Just answer the question.

Ava: Well, I-I-I don’t know. All right? Although…

Kristen: What?

Ava: Well, I know that xander wanted to hire steve to find sarah horton. I thought he turned him down, but I don’t know, maybe he took the case after all.

Kristen: Sarah horton? Damn it. It’s the last thing I need right now is that little caper coming to haunt me. Is there anything else?

Ava: Nothing. Except that gwen is desperate to get xander off sarah’s trail. She’s convinced that if he finds his ex, that he’s gonna leave her.

Kristen: Yeah. I know exactly how that feels.

Xander: Well, no matter my feelings about charlie, it was very kind of you to offer your condolences to ava.

Gwen: Well, she lost a child. I know what that feels like.

Xander: That big heart of yours.

Gwen: Shh. Don’t need to tell anyone.

[Sighs] So what happened with abigail? Did the intrepid reporter have a lot of information? Seems like she didn’t since you’re back already.

Xander: Well, actually, uh, she came up with a pretty strong lead. Might be just a matter of time until we track down sarah.

Ava: Gwen is devastated by the idea of losing xander when they’ve been so happy. You still there?

Kristen: Yes, I’m still here. And since you and gwen helped me, I’m gonna help you in return.

Ava: How?

Kristen: You’ll find out.

Shawn: Do you think that ava is framing you? Your girlfriend?

Rafe: It’s just, uh, a gut feeling.

Shawn: You guys having problems?

Rafe: Well, there’s a jealousy issue. She’s not comfortable with my– my friendship with nicole.

Shawn: What do you mean? I mean, you and nicole have been friends for years. I mean, assuming that is all that it is, right?

Rafe: No, no, no, that’s all it is, it’s just, yeah. We’re just friends. Just, uh, ava can get worked up.

Shawn: Vitalis tend to do that.

Rafe: Yeah, and I also made the mistake of accusing her of killing duke.

Shawn: Oh, wow. How’d she respond to that?

Rafe: Not well, no. She was very upset and insisted I apologize, and then I felt like a jerk for, uh, having accused her of that.

Shawn: So now you’re circling back around?

Rafe: Yeah, I don’t know. I don’t–you know, maybe it’s just my imagination running wild, but..

[Sighs] You know, it–maybe ava did tear the head off of duke, you know? But for her to send those perps after me? I mean, she could ruin my entire career.

Shawn: Okay, ava vitali is not exactly known for playing nice, rafe.

Rafe: I know that, okay? But her history is–I mean, she’s talking about turning over a new life, being a new person. I just–I can’T…

[Sighs] I just, I can’t imagine that she would wanna destroy me.

Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you god?

Chad: Maybe I should tell them that it was lucas who kidnapped sami. Which is why I had no problem getting him fired, but letting him rot in prison for something he didn’t do? That’s-that’s too much!

Kate: If you tell the truth, lucas is going to be in that prison.

Chad: I do.

Barnes: Your witness, ms. Trask.

Melinda: [Clears throat]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: Mom, I know you still love dad and deep down, I know he loves you, too.

Taylor: But he’s married to brooke.

Steffy: Maybe so, but do you think dad’s happy? He cannot be happy. How can he be? With everything that’s going on with brooke. We need to help dad. We need to get him out of there.

Taylor: Oh, honey, I hate to see you this upset, but it is what it is.

Steffy: No, it isn’T.

Taylor: We both have to understand that your dad’s life is with brooke and the logans.

Hope: Why don’t you want my dad around?

Brooke: It’s just not a good idea right now, hope.

Hope: Mom, you’ve been really supportive of our relationship and now all of a sudden you don’t want him around.

Brooke: I’m sorry, I really am sorry. This must be very confusing for you.

Hope: I… it’s fine. Mom. It is. It’s just I’m trying to understand, why so sudden. It… did something happen between you and dad?

Ridge: Well, we had quite a year, huh?

Carter: Tell me about it. Foundation’s never seen numbers this high. Our outreach increased twofold.

Ridge: Means we can help a lot more people.

Carter: Yeah. It’s all paris.

Ridge: You were right about her. Good recommendation.

Carter: Just had a feeling about her, you know? Her drive and dedication.

Ridge: She’s very special.

Carter: Paris is certainly very special.

Ridge: Paris, just talking about you.

Paris: I heard.

Ridge: We are very impressed with the work that you’re doing for the foundation.

Paris: Thank you, ridge.

Carter: Did your mom get settled in?

Paris: Yeah, she was really tired after her flight.

Ridge: I like that lady. You can tell she’s really something.

Paris: Yeah, my mom’s the best.

Ridge: Yeah. You know, we should think about maybe having a formal dinner for her. Can we do that?

Paris: Sure, we’d like that.

Carter: Hey ridge, I was looking for brooke earlier. Is she around?

Ridge: She’s not coming in.

Paris: Is everything all right?

Ridge: Yeah, everything’s fine.

Hope: Is it ridge? Because I know how he feels about dad.

Brooke: No, honey, he’s been incredibly loving and understanding.

Hope: Well… yes and no. I mean, it’s no secret how he feels about my dad.

Brooke: Well, I can’t really blame him for that.

Hope: Okay, fine. No, especially given the history, I get it. But if it’s not ridge, then–

Brooke: Ridge isn’t the one who’s done anything wrong.

Hope: Mom…. mom, I hope you know that you haven’t done anything wrong either. You had– you drank. And I understand that that is a big deal for you and you’re disappointed in yourself, but… it’s not unforgivable. But you’re still not exactly answering my question. Which is why did my dad suddenly disappear?

Steffy: You can’t give up, mom.

Taylor: Honey, I am not going to spend the next half of my life hoping things turned out different.

Steffy: But this is a new chapter. We can save dad from all of the drama and reunite our family. You just gotta put it out there and believe it can happen. Manifest it. I know it can happen. I really do. Something is going on over at brooke’s house. And obviously it’s something big. Otherwise, hope wouldn’t be so concerned. Sooner or later, it’s going to come out. That’s when we’re going to bring dad back.-We’ll bring dad back home here, with us.

Paris: Thankfully, my apartment was pretty clean. There were no big piles of laundry on the couch or anything, so.

Carter: And I’m sure she was thrilled.

Paris: Yeah, she called it charming. But she did say I didn’t have enough food in my cupboards, so.

Carter: Yeah, that’s mom for you. She must have been proud that you have your own place, though.

Paris: I’m still pinching myself. It’s the perfect little home, especially now that my mom is there. She can help me put up decorations and add her dr. Buckingham touches.

Carter: Yeah. Seems like she’s sticking around for a while, huh?

Paris: I’m hoping to keep her here for good. She doesn’t know any of the L.A. Spots, so I’m going to show her the– the cool spots, you know?

Carter: Yeah. I have to admit, though, I was a little surprised with how friendly your mom was to me.

Paris: Why wouldn’t she be?

Carter: The whole thing with zoe. Calling off the engagement.

Paris: Well, she didn’t treat you the way you deserved to be treated. And my mom knows that. And if she doesn’t, I’ll make sure she doeS.

Carter: You’d defend me like that?

Paris: I’m always willing to stand up for what’s right.

Carter: Well, I’m glad to know you’ve got my back.

Hope: I’m sorry we left you alone that night.

Brooke: If I could go back and do that night all over again, I would. And I would just make better choices.

Hope: Well, what exactly is it about that night that’s haunting you?

Brooke: Everything.

Hope: Well, I mean, I know obviously you relapsed and you regret that, but… could it be something more? I mean, is it because taylor’s back in town? Is it because I’ve been pressuring you about dad? I just–

Brooke: No, sweetheart.

Hope: Mom, I just– whatever it is, I want you to know that you can talk to me about it, okay? I won’t judge. If there’s something more going on, you can tell me. It will stay between us.

Ridge: Hey! I feel like I’m interrupting something.

Brooke: Uh… ridge, you didn’t have to come home so early from work. Really, I’m okay. I’m– I’m here with hope–

Ridge: No, I– the appointment was over and I thought I’d come home and we’d order some food.

Brooke: You really didn’t have to check on me, but that’s nice, thanks. It’s– it’s never gonna happen again.

Hope: Mom, what ridge and i said holds true. That we– we want to be here for you every step of the way.

Ridge: Yeah. And I– I think going to these meetings, that’s a– that’s a good start. I will go with you to as many of those as you want. And I know you want to find out what this trigger was. So do we. And once we find it, we’re going to find a way to avoid it, because we’re going to handle this as a family, no matter what.

Steffy: Dad is so happy to have you back.

Taylor: Ugh, he’s been wonderful to me.

Steffy: You two care about each other, it’s obvious.

Taylor: Well, that’s what you hope that happens when you share children together. It hasn’t always been easy, but we’ve managed to remain friends over the years.

Steffy: But it’s not just thomas, me and phoebe that keep you two connected. I mean, yes, we obviously tie you guys together, but it’s more than that. You guys have this, like, dance in your eyes when you look at each other, honestly.

Taylor: Dance. What kind of dance?

Steffy: I don’t know. It’s like this twinkle. There’s something there, there’s energy. You may not see it, but I definitely do. We all do. It’s like good and pure and beautiful. And it’s also shined a light on what we’ve been missing. And that’s you.

Taylor: I mean, I definitely have some lost time to make up with douglas, kelly, and hayes.

Steffy: But you’re back now. And think about the impact it could have on the three of them, seeing their grandparents together. United, strong, powerful forrester family.

Paris: My goal is to make my mom fall madly in love with L.A. So that she stays here forever.

Carter: Well, that shouldn’t be too hard, right? Blue skies in january, beach sunsets, plus one of her favorite daughters is here.

Paris: I like to think that I’m the main selling point.

Carter: Aw, I’d say that’s a given.

Paris: She used to visit me back east when I was in college, but having her here full time would be incredible.

Carter: Yeah. Well, every hospital in the area is clamoring to hire dr. Buckingham. She’ll have no problem taking her pick of jobs.

Paris: I mean, your lips to god’s ears. I just really missed her, you know? Family is super important to me.

Carter: Yeah, I can tell. I’m sending all the good vibes that everything works out for you.

Paris: Yeah. I’m pretty positive things will fall into place with my mom. I just wish I had that kind of certainty about other aspects of my life. What to do about zende.

Steffy: We were so wonderful as a family. Some of the most incredible memories that I cherish are the five of us together.

Taylor: Oh, I feel the same way, steffy.

Steffy: It’d be one thing if dad was in a healthy relationship, but he’s not. And it’s because of brooke.

Taylor: Brooke and I have definitely had our differences.

Steffy: Mm-hmm. Brooke has robbed you for so many years, just like hope robbed me. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very grateful to be in my marriage with finn. Like, I love him and I’m so happy we have a baby together. But let’s be real. She took liam away from me, just like brooke took dad away from you. It’s like this sick cycle perpetuated by the logans.

Taylor: Yeah, true. But I mean, ridge and I did grow apart a little bit. I cannot blame brooke for all our problems.

Steffy: Mom, if brooke wasn’t in the picture, you and dad would be together right now, living at that house in beverly hills. Am I wrong? That’s what the logans do, they just like– they keep infiltrating our lives. I mean, hope portrays herself to be this sweet, innocent woman but it’s just an act to get what she wants.

Taylor: And hope has some good qualities. You know, she’S… okay, I definitely don’t agree with the way she handles some situations.

Hope: Okay, but she is a good mother. She is great with kelly. But hope is like brooke. Brooke has moulded hope since she was a little girl. There is something seriously wrong with them. And there is trouble brewing over at brooke’s house.

Taylor: Yeah, there’s definitely something going on. She was really worried about her mom.

Steffy: Yeah, whatever it is, it’s major and it’s going to blow up in their face, and dad’s going to need us. He’s definitely going to need you, mom.

Ridge: But I am sorry, I feel like I walked in on something.

Brooke: Hope and I were just talking.

Hope: Yes. I mean, obviously mom has been struggling lately.

Ridge: But I don’t know why. I told you, nothing that happened is unforgivable, not even close.

Hope: Exactly. And that’s what I keep trying to tell you, mom. You have nothing to feel guilty about.

Ridge: Nothing. ‘Cause we don’t even know what happened. It might have been one thing or 10 things, or– or no things. I mean… addiction is a strange animal, right? It’s gonna rear its ugly head whenever it wants and wreak havoc.

Brooke: The desire hit me when I least expected it.

Ridge: I know. It’s one night. You are stronger than you give yourself credit for.

Hope: I– I know in the past my dad has also struggled with drinking and I was actually just asking her about–

Ridge: Why are we doing that? Why? Why are we talking about deacon? What about him?

Paris: Zende’s the greatest guy and we have gotten so close since we’ve been dating, but there’s just so much more I want to experience.

Carter: Yeah. Before you get married.

Paris: Yeah. And I’d love to marry, but I am just still so young. I feel like I’m just starting my life. I’ve got this charming apartment, amazing job, and I’m planning on doing some travelling when I get some time off.

Carter: You can still do that, you know?

Paris: I want to hold on to every bit of my independence. I’m not cut out to be tied down right now.

Carter: I hear you.

Paris: Does that make me a terrible person?

Carter: No, paris, not at all. I give zende props for putting his heart out there, but it was a good thing for both your sakes that he decided against proposing. Though, I don’t think he completely ruled it out.

Paris: I just don’t want to hurt him or lead him on. I don’t know what to do, carter.

Carter: I wish I had the answer. Zende’s a solid dude and he is totally crazy about you. But you have to follow your gut, do what’s right for you. And try not to stress about it too much, okay? Because you’re a good person, paris. You’ll figure it out.

Ridge: Why are we talking about deacon?

Hope: Well, he’s been kind of M.I.A. Lately and I just wanted to make sure everything was okay.

Ridge: Of course he’s M.I.A., That’s what he does! He leaves. He left you for years at a time so he’s probably disappeared again.

Hope: I was just wondering if mom had heard anything.

Brooke: Okay, I don’t want to talk about deacon. I want to talk about you and I want to thank you for the love and the support that you’ve both given me through this horrible time.

Hope: Oh, of course mom, we love you.

Ridge: We would do anything for you.

Brooke: Yeah, well, you shouldn’t have to put up with this.

Ridge: No one has to put up with anything. This is what we want to do. We want to get together and face this head on.

Hope: You’re surrounding yourself with the best kind of support.

Brooke: I’m so lucky… and I don’t want to lose you. I don’t want to risk losing this beautiful family that we have.

Hope: It’s okay.

Steffy: Dad is going to need you. Something is bound to happen. Brooke is going to let him down again. And I can’t accept the logans winning out in the end.

Taylor: But your father is committed to his wife.

Steffy: But he’s paying the price with his own sanity.

Taylor: Ridge is doing the best that he can. It’s– it’s hard having two families, but he has always made sure that you kids know how loved you are.

Steffy: Yeah, you– you two have raised us well. You taught us to take the high road, when the logans would manipulate and take whatever they wanted. This whole deacon situation, it’s– it’s so messed up and it’s taken its toll.

Taylor: I think your dad’s been a saint.

Steffy: Beyond. Hope and brooke are disrespecting him. They’re making him feel like he’s a guest in his own home. And then you have deacon just hanging out there, working his way deeper into their lives.

Taylor: Yeah, I’m still shocked that he was allowed to go to the house on new year’s eve.

Steffy: I’m shocked, too, but this is brooke we’re talking about.-You’ve seen her track record.

Taylor: I imagine a part of her feels caught between her daughter and ridge.

Steffy: Yeah, I’ve had enough. Mom. Haven’t you had enough? Don’t you want to get back at brooke? Honestly. It’s like she doesn’t even care that her actions affect you.

Taylor: But sweetheart, she never will. That’s because we are in a war, mom. The logans vs. The forresters. But it’s not finished. The best days lie ahead. The forrester family, we’re going to triumph. We are. Come here.

[ Knock on door ]

Lily: Sorry to interrupt.

Adam: Lily, to what do I owe this pleasure?

Lily: Well, I just came by ’cause I wanted to know what you meant by the little cryptic text you sent me.

Adam: Remind me what I sent.

Lily: Right. “Best of luck with chancellor.”

Adam: Oh, right, right. Yeah, I did send that.

Lily: Yeah.

Adam: It’s hardly cryptic, though.

Lily: So, what did you mean?

Adam: Pretty sure I meant “best of luck at chancellor.”

Lily: [ Laughs ] Do you really think that I would believe that you’re sincerely wishing me well?

Adam: Well, you can think whatever you want, but it was genuine.

Lily: It’s a little suspicious. I mean, you’ve known for a while that I was appointed ceo, but then you decide to send me a “good luck” text just hours after billy tells you that his feud with you is over.

Adam: Well, billy had some pretty choice words for me during his plea for peace.

Lily: Okay, the point is, he declared a truce, and then you send me a text.

Adam: I mean, is it that hard to believe, in spite of whatever’s going on with billy and me, that I respect you and i want you to do well in your new position?

Victoria: Thank you. We’ll speak soon to work out all the details. Okay, bye-bye. Hi.

Ashland: Mm.

Victoria: Mwah.

Ashland: You look happy.

Victoria: That is because today is the greatest day.

Ashland: Well, you care to elaborate?

Victoria: That was jill. She wants to hammer out the details for the sale of chanccomm to us. So, for now, it looks like we’ve won.

Ashland: Now, are you smiling because it’s a valuable asset or because you beat your father and brother?

Victoria: A little from column “a” and a little from column “B.” But I am very glad to have newman’s old division back into the fold of newman/locke.

Adam: [ Exhales sharply ] Victor and adam must be seething.

Victoria: Maybe, maybe, but I talked to my father, and I got the feeling that he was okay with it. Adam, on the other hand, is gonna be screaming bloody murder.

Ashland: And you will love that.

Victoria: Yes, I’m here for it, especially because if I get my way, chanccomm is not the only company that adam’s gonna lose.

Nate: Hey, devon.

Devon: Hey, man.

Nate: So, any news?

Devon: About what?

Nate: Your request for shared custody of dominic. Last time I saw you talking to abby and chance here, didn’t seem like it was going so well.

Devon: Yeah, that’s ’cause it didn’T. They said no to me.

Nate: Ah. I’m sorry. Now — now I really feel bad about pushing you in that direction.

Devon: Oh, no, don’t feel bad at all. That’s — you gave me the same advice amanda gave me. And I valued what you had to say, too, ’cause you understand this journey that I’ve been on. You know, you were — you were there coaching me through delivering dominic into this world, so when you told me that me having a bigger part in his life is in his best interest, i appreciate that.

Nate: Even if my advice was all wrong?

Devon: Yeah, it was — it was a conversation that needed to be had anyway. You know, even though abby and chance didn’t give me the answer I wanted. But it’s pushed me into taking action.

Chloe: You are putting me in a really difficult position. Both you and chelsea are incredibly talented, intelligent, ambitious women who have so much to offer. We all want this platform to be a success, and I just want us to all get along and work together as a team. But that won’t be possible if you continue on your current trajectory. So fix it.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Adam: Well, then this time, let me be clear. The spying is done. No more trying to score extra points with the boss. Go focus on the job that you are paid to do.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Hey. We need to figure out this working relationship of ours. Can you meet me at society?

Nicorette knows, quitting

smoking is freaking hard.

Devon: So I’ve decided to officially file for shared custody. And this is something that i never thought would happen or wanted to happen, but abby and chance have made it pretty clear that they’re against me having a bigger role in dominic’s life, and I’m still very concerned about chance’s ability to be a parent. So, I know I’m a positive influence on dominic, and I just want to fight to protect that.

Nate: And you think this is the best way to go about it?

Devon: I think this is my only option. You don’t look like you think it’s a good idea.

Nate: No, I just worry about what happens when lawyers get involved.

Devon: Yeah, no, me too. I certainly don’t want things to get messy at all. You know, I’m just — I’m hoping that we can push through it as painlessly as possible. But that’s really all I have to say about that.

Nate: Okay, okay. Well, best of luck.

Devon: I appreciate it. Thank you. How are you doing? How’s — how’s living with elena?

Nate: [ Chuckles ] Well, it’s — it’s pretty great.

Devon: Yeah?

Nate: Initially, we had our concerns.

Devon: Oh, ’cause you guys work together?

Nate: Yeah, exactly. But the truth is, now that I’m in a more administrative role, we rarely see each other at the hospital, so it’s nice to know she’ll be there when I get home.

Devon: Oh, well, that’s good. I’m — I’m happy to hear that you guys are happy. Ever since you got back from victoria’s wedding, you’ve been acting like newlyweds yourselves.

Ashland: I assume you still intend to go after newman media.

Victoria: You don’t have a problem with that, do you?

Ashland: Not at all. I think consolidating media companies is a smart move. I just want you to be sure that this is a battle you want to fight. See, I’m still an outsider when it comes to the constant one-upmanship in this family. Victor supported and defended me when everyone else turned their back, so I’m wondering if, by going after these companies, you’re not gonna poke the bear unnecessarily?

Victoria: You’re right.

Ashland: I am?

Victoria: I mean, you still are an outsider when it comes to my family’s dynamic. You don’t understand that a good business battle earns my father’s respect, not his ire, and going after chanccomm and newman media are all about business, as far as I’m concerned. If we acquire those companies, we will dominate in the field.

Ashland: I love it when you make power moves like this. And I know what it’s like to want more and more and more.

Victoria: That’s why we make such a great team.

Ashland: I know you know how to play the situation with your father, but adam is the wild card.

Victoria: Well, I’m not really that worried about adam. I know exactly how to handle him.

Lily: I find it very hard to believe that your text was sincere because I don’t trust you, adam.

Adam: Okay. What do you think I meant by “best of luck at chancellor”?

Lily: I think it was a veiled threat. I mean, I want to believe that the feud between you and billy is over, but I know how much you love having the last word.

Billy: Oh, well, billy had a lot of last words yesterday. I mean, it was a quite a speech.

Lily: Right, and that’s why you sent me the text, right? It was like a counter punch? He got the best of you, so you were taking a shot at me?

Adam: Mm, far from it. Okay, billy shooting his mouth off, having a little temper tantrum — I don’t lose sleep over that. So I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I really was just saying, “good luck.”

Lily: Adam, I just want to reiterate that a truce has been declared. Okay? Billy stepped away from chanccomm, even though he did nothing wrong. He set his ego aside at having to clear his name, alright? So he proved that he’s a bigger man.

Adam: What is it you want, lily? ‘Cause, really, I’m really tired of the “billy is superior” act, like his growth is somehow more legit than anyone who has bettered themselves.

Lily: Ah, there it is.

Adam: What?

Lily: You still haven’t let it go, have you?

Tide pods ultra oxi

Adam: Look, I think that we are talking past each other. I really meant what I said. I truly wish you good luck. I mean, think about it, why would I want to alienate the new ceo of chancellor when I’m trying to make an offer to acquire chanccomm. That would just be bad business.

Lily: Oh, okay, so you’re trying to get on my good side.

Adam: Absolutely.

Lily: Mm.

Adam: I’m not ashamed of it. Has jill made a decision? I know newman/locke has made an offer.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] You know I can’t give you that information.

Adam: [ Clicks tongue ] Well, I know you have some influence over jill, so I want to be on your good side.

Lily: Okay, yeah. Well, best of luck to you.

Adam: What do you mean by that?

Lily: What do you mean? You can’t take what I’m saying at face value? I mean, clearly, my intentions are sincere.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, I see what you did there.

Lily: Yeah, so I think we’ll both have to trust that the other one means what they say. And just so you know, in spite of your attempts to destroy billy’s career, he is coming to work with me as my coo at chancellor.

Adam: Good for him.

Lily: Yeah, and he’s putting all the negativity between you two behind him. And if you have a shred of humanity, which you say you do, I really hope that you’ll do the same. Just let it go, okay? Let’s all just move on with our lives.

Victor: To what do we owe the pleasure of your visit?

Adam: I was just wishing lily good luck in her new position at chancellor. And she was telling me that billy’s going to be joining her as coo, so she’s going to need it.

Lily: Ah. Yes. Please tell your son that it’s over, okay? Billy has waved the white flag. And I really hope that’s enough for you.

Victor: Nice to see you, lily.

Lily: You too.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Thank you for coming.

Chelsea: I’m not sure what this is all about. You already apologized. You said that you respect me and you want to learn from me, so…what’s this all about?

Sally: Let’s be real. You didn’t buy any of that. In fact, I didn’t even believe it as it was coming out of my mouth.

Chelsea: Good to know.

Sally: I was just forcing myself to say the right things.

Chelsea: You know, it doesn’t seem like you really want to fix our working relationship.

Sally: No, I do. And I’ve thought about it, and instead of just spouting platitudes, I want to prove that we can work together. So I’ve come up with a few pitches, and I am prepared for you to hate every single one of them, but I want to know why. I want to know the truth. You can’t just dismiss my ideas because they’re mine. Can you look at the work objectively?

Chelsea: Of course, but I’ve already given you honest feedback.

Sally: Yeah, you told me that my ideas stunk. But can you be constructive? Are you able to admit when you’ve seen a good idea that isn’t yours, even if it comes from me?

Chloe: Hi, ladies. So why was I summoned here?

Sally: Well, you told me that you want me to figure this out with chelsea, so let’s do it. Right here, right now.

Victor: So what did lily mean when she talked about billy waving the white flag?

Adam: Well, it turns out that billy isn’t spiraling into a carnival of binge drinking and gambling.

Victor: What about the videos?

Adam: Oh, it was all an act. He was pretending to be a degenerate.

Victor: For what purpose?

Adam: Revenge. He was hoping that we would put out a story about his downfall, and then he would turn around and he would do exactly what we and ashland did to him — sue, to cripple newman media.

Victor: He couldn’t come up with his own plan? He had to replicate ours? What a pathetic S.O.B. That man is. So did you get him to confess?

Adam: Well, I didn’t have to. For whatever reason, he didn’t follow through. He shut it down, and then he came clean. According to lily, he’s trying to be a better person.

Victor: He’ll never be a better person. He’s a loser.

Adam: I doubt we’ve heard the last of him.

Victor: Just leave him alone, alright? We knocked him down, just forget about it. He won’t get up.

Adam: Okay, that seems unusually merciful.

Victor: We have more important things to talk about, son. I got a call from jill this morning.

Adam: Ooh. What’d she say?

Victor: She’s selling chanccomm to newman/locke.

Adam: What? No. No, no, no. Okay.

[ Exhales sharply ] Okay. Lily must’ve known. Billy and lily must have persuaded her to do it. Alright, I’m gonna call her right now. We can sweeten the deal —

Victor: No, you won’t do such a thing. Forget it. Don’t do it. Leave it alone. We lost. I’m gonna go over to the ranch, meet with victoria, and congratulate her. I want you to do the same.

Two loads of snot

covered laundry.

Victor: Hi, sweetheart. You beat me here.

Victor: Hello, dad. Thank you so much for taking the time to see me.

Victor: You look so pretty. Have a seat. Sorry I’m late, but I had to convey the disappointing news to adam. And I guess that’s why you’re here. You’re here to gloat, right?

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] No! Not at all.

Victor: Well, there’s nothing wrong with that. Getting jill to sell chanccomm to newman/locke, that’s a hell of an accomplishment. Nothing wrong with doing a happy dance in front of a defeated foe.

Victoria: I would never do that to you. Adam, maybe. You don’t seem upset about jill’s decision.

Victor: Well, you know, I really always disagreed with you having sold the old newman enterprises media division to billy boy and chanccomm.

Victoria: It was the right move at the time.

Victor: So you’ve said, yeah. But, you know, now that that division is back under newman leadership and a steady newman guidance, I must say, it feels like a homecoming.

Victoria: But I’m sure you were hoping it would end up at newman media and not newman/locke.

Victor: Well, I’m happy for yoU. I am a little disappointed for adam.

Victoria: I appreciate it, dad. And ashland will be glad to know. He was a little more concerned about your reaction than me.

Victor: Oh, yeah?

Victoria: Yes, I told him that you respect a bold power move in the business world.

Victor: Yeah, I do.

Victoria: Good. Then I hope you’ll like this one. I’m not here because of chanccomm. I’d like to make a proposal. I’d like to buy newman media.

Victor: Huh.

Sally: So what about that one? Do you like it?

Chelsea: It’s better than your last idea to develop a line of school uniforms, but it’s not that much better.

Sally: Okay, so out of the 20-ish ideas I presented, you approve of two of them and you don’t hate another one.

Chelsea: Yeah, that’s 10%.

Chloe: 10% is pretty good, sally. Let’s run with those and see what happens.

Sally: Okay. Yeah, and I have learned a few things about why my ideas weren’t as great as I thought they were. But I do feel like chelsea’s biased against anything that comes out of my mouth.

Chelsea: I am biased against bad ideas. And you need to do some editing, because when I hear a terrible idea, I assume the next one is gonna be bad when it’s coming from the same person who just pitched a design label called “schooled.”

Sally: Okay, you keep focusing on that one —

Chelsea: Because it’s so bad! You lose all credibility when you pitch something like that, and quite frankly, we shouldn’t have to sit through 20 of your ideas. You should pick the top five and share those. Is that constructive enough for you?

Sally: That was very helpful. Thank you very much for your feedback.

Chloe: Okay, so this is a great starting place, but we are far from being a well-oiled machine, which is what we need to be if we are going to get through the amount of work that we have to get through. Oh, mr. Sunshine is here.

Sally: He doesn’t seem very happy.

Chelsea: Excuse me.

Adam: [ Sighs ]

[ Exhales sharply ] I’m not in the mood, chelsea.

Chelsea: For what?

Adam: Anything, really, okay? I’ve had a rough morning. I’m just gonna order some food and I’m gonna head back to the office.

Chelsea: Sorry to hear that. I’ll make this quick. I wanted to thank you for the talk we had with connor.

Adam: Oh. Well, do you think it did any good? Has he calmed down about the sale of the penthouse?

Chelsea: A little bit. I think he’s starting to realize that piece of real estate isn’t the key to getting us back together, so he dropped it.

Adam: Good.

Chelsea: But now he’s on a mission to get me to move to the ranch.

Adam: Hmm. Well, I hope you’re working hard to convince him that is not the way to go.

Chelsea: I am. I don’t want to live that close to victor and nikki, trust me.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] I don’t blame you. Right now I’m trying to give my father a wide berth.

Chloe: We should go back to the office. This is not a productive work environment.

Sally: That is ridiculous. We are getting stuff done, and i am making some progress convincing chelsea that I am a team player. And I think I deserve an oscar for sitting here with a smile on my face while she shuts down idea after idea.

Chloe: You said that you were learning something from her.

Sally: Yeah, how to swallow my pride and fake a pleasant demeanor.

Chloe: [ Sighs ] So we’re back to square one. I wanted you to develop a real working relationship with chelsea.

Sally: Okay, relax. I’m kidding, alright? But the other side of gaining chelsea’s trust is convincing her that I am not interested in adam and that I am not threatened at all by her desire to get back together with him. So running out of here would be the wrong move entirely. I just need to stay put and maintain an air of calm and disinterest.

“The young and the restless”

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

Devon: Lily! Yo!

Lily: Hey. Hello. So this is where the party’s at, I see.

Nate: Oh, yeah, we’re rocking out over here at crimson lights.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Devon: Why don’t you join us if you think you can handle all the fun?

Lily: Yeah, I’d love a distraction, but I don’t want to interrupt your little boy time.

Nate: No, no, no, I was just about to leave. I have to grab elena some coffee, and we have some domestic activities to take care of.

Devon: What does that mean?

Nate: Just some shopping to do.

Devon: Shopping for new lamps ’cause she threw away your ugly ones?

Nate: I don’t want to talk about it. Have my seat, lily. I’m through with this guy.

Devon: You’re through with them lamps.

Lily: Bye. Have fun.

Devon: What’s up?

Lily: Hey. What’s new? Oh, anything new with dominic?

Devon: Yes. Yeah. I’ve decided to pursue shared custody legally.

Lily: Wow, that’s — that’s huge.

Devon: Yeah, it’s still in the early stages, though, and I’ll keep you posted as things move forward, but feel like I’m always talking about it. How are you doing? Are you excited about your new job?

Lily: I am, yeah. Although my enthusiasm is a little dampened. I had a very annoying conversation with adam. Uh, but anyway, the good news is that billy will be my coo.

Devon: Wow. How did you convince him to take that job?

Lily: I think he’s just tired of the feud with victor and adam, you know, so taking this job is part of that transition.

Devon: And that feud with him and victor and adam is really over? Or is that even possible?

Lily: [ Scoffs ]

Adam: Eventually I’m going to start looking for my own place to live. I mean, as you know, the reasons I moved out of the penthouse were the same as yours. Just too many memories. Being at the ranch was — it was convenient. Connor had love and support. You know, it was good to be around family.

Chelsea: But I’m back now. Connor has both parents that love and support him. He doesn’t need to be there.

Adam: I know. I know. We’ll figure it out. We’re pretty good at that.

Chelsea: I appreciate what you said to him, that we’re good friends and colleagues.

Adam: Well, it’s true.

Chelsea: Do you have time for a coffee? There are a few things I want to discuss with you, and I don’t want to do it here at the bar.

Adam: I have to get back to work. Besides, aren’t you in the middle of a meeting?

Chelsea: We’re wrapping things up, but that’s okay. Can we find time to talk, though? It’s important.

Adam: Sure. We can grab a drink after work.

Chelsea: Perfect.

Chloe: Oh, yeah, this isn’t working.

Sally: What are you talking about?

Chloe: You’re trying to appear disinterested in what’s going on at the bar, but it’s really driving you crazy, because you are interested in adam. And do not insult me and try to deny it. If it’s that obvious to little old me, then someone super sharp like chelsea can sense it from a mile away. And this is not going to help your bridge-building with her.

Sally: You sound like you’re taking her side.

Chloe: No.

Sally: Okay, well, I feel outnumbered.

Chloe: You know, it really worries me that you see this as some sort of competition. We are all on the same team. Chelsea is my best friend and my business partner, and I brought you on because you have a lot to offer. Nothing has changed.

Sally: But we’re not friends, so too bad for me.

Chloe: Of course we’re friends. In our own way.

[ Sighs ] You know, I-I always knew working for adam was going to cause problems, but I did not think that it was going to be because he was going to be in the middle of some misguided love triangle. Ugh! I’m — I’m just really disappointed in both of you.

Sally: Okay.

[ Clears throat ] What can I do to prove to you that I’m a team player?

Chloe: I’ve been thinking about it, and I do have an idea. I want you to go to new york, handle a series of interviews with a bunch of designers preparing for their spring shows.

Sally: When?

Chloe: As soon as possible.

Ashland: Nate, how are you?

Nate: Ashland. Good, good. How’s your treatment coming along?

Ashland: I’m pleased to report that the test results show the cancer is abating. It’s not quite in remission yet, but it’s on the run.

Nate: That is great news.

Ashland: I haven’t felt this good in ages.

Nate: Oh, I love hearing it.

[ Chuckles ]

Ashland: I just hope it means many more years with victoria, you know, building the business and the life that we want together.

Victor: So you want to buy newman media, huh?

Victoria: I do.

Victor: Hmm.

Victoria: Is that bold enough for you?

Victor: That’s putting it mildly. Why didn’t you come to me and adam?

Victoria: Daddy, I doubt that adam would even entertain the offer. He’s probably still spinning out about losing chanccomm to me, even though he’s done everything that he can to weaken the company and to bring down billy. I very much doubt that his pride would allow him to sell.

Victor: So is this idea to buy newman media based on business considerations or what?

Victoria: Is that why you think I’m making this move? You think I’m trying to go after adam?

Victor: Well, you might want to avenge billy.

Victoria: Not at all. The numbers are on my side. This is a business strategy. It’s not a personal vendetta.

Victor: Hmm. What about for ashland? Is it personal or what?

Victoria: Yes, newman media used to be his company, and maybe there would be some poetic justice in it coming back to him, but that’s not why I made my decision. Daddy, I want to have a real stake in the media world. And with both of these companies back under our roof, we will be an unstoppable powerhouse in the field. So what do you say? Will you sell to me?

[ Chuckles ]

Victor: You’re my daughter. You’re victor newman’s daughter. Plaque psoriasis, the burning, itching.

Lily: I thought you had gotten past your doubts when it came to my relationship with billy.

Devon: I’ve accepted that he makes you happy, but, I mean, nah, yeah, I still have concerns.

Lily: [ Scoffs ] Okay, well, I don’t understand why.

Devon: Look, he’s come a long way in his personal life, I’ll give him that. I think that has a lot to do with your positive influence, but professionally, he still gets himself in trouble. Look at what just happened at chanccomm.

Lily: Oh, come on, that wasn’t his fault.

Devon: I understand that, but he struggles so much to control himself that adam and victor, they know that about them, and then they provoked him and he did exactly what they thought he would do. So professionally, I’m worried that he might be a liability to you.

Adam: Don’t you have to get back to your meeting?

Chelsea: Soon. But if you need to talk about what happened with victor, I’m here to listen.

Adam: Oh, I know that you would just love to hear me complain about my father, but not today. It’s just — it’s just business. He knows how to push my buttons, but I’m learning to rise above it.

Chelsea: That’s impressive.

Adam: It’s taken long enough, hasn’t it?

Chelsea: You really have changed.

Adam: I’d like to think so.

Sally: Well, normally, i would be on the first flight out to new york, but the timing feels a little off. So is this idea yours or chelsea’s?

Chloe: You’re not really in a position to question your assignments. You work for me, remember?

Sally: Of course. But can you look me in the eye and tell me that you’re not trying to get me out of town?

Chloe: I am running a business here. You can call all the meetings you want and pretend like you’re getting along with chelsea and claim that you don’t give a damn about adam, but I-I need to fix this for real, and I think it’s best if the two of you take a little space from each other. Just for a little while. Besides, you’re the face of the brand.

Sally: True.

Chloe: And taking this assignment will solidify your role in chelsea’s eyes. She will see how much value you bring to the platform. So how about you let me do my job and let me decide what our priorities are, and then we can focus on the real work. And you go to new york.

Sally: Fine. I’ll go.

Lily: Okay, well, good luck with jill, and I’ll see you when you get back from chicago. Oh, and, billy, I miss you.

[ Chuckles ] Okay, bye. Hey, what are you still doing here? I thought you were getting lamps with elena.

Ashland: Oh, that was my fault. I intercepted nate on his way out. Just wanted a free medical consultation.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Nate: I thought I’d let elena sleep in, but now I’m about to be late for our shopping spree. I’d better go.

[ Clears throat ] Be well.

Ashland: You too, my friend.

Nate: Bye.

Lily: Bye. Have fun.

Ashland: So, newman/locke is officially in talks to buy chanccomm.

Lily: Yes, I am aware.

Ashland: Well, as a new ceo, I would think that that would be top of your agenda at chancellor industries.

Lily: Of course. I’ll be intimately involved with the negotiations.

Ashland: Well, I hope the negotiations are pleasant and productive.

Lily: Ashland, um, there’s actually some things I would like to say to you.

Do I need to pretreat my

laundry?

Ashland: If this is about the acquisition of chanccomm, you’ll need to speak to victoria. She’s the mastermind behind the deal.

Lily: No, it’s — it’s really not about that. It’s about billy.

Ashland: Oh?

Lily: Look, I have no interest in making excuses for him, and I don’t even care if you were part of the conspiracy to knock him off his perch at chanccomm.

Ashland: I can assure you —

Lily: No, I — honestly, i don’t care. It doesn’t matter to me. It doesn’t matter that you were even guilty of your past crimes. To me, it’s all in the past. And billy is walking away from the fight. He’s — honestly, he’s turning the page.

Ashland: So I’ve heard.

Lily: So my question to you is, can you do the same?

Chloe: Everything okay?

Chelsea: Everything’s great. We were just discussing a couple issues with connor. We’re really in sync as parents.

Sally: Cool. Connor’s a great kid. He deserves the best.

Adam: Hey, do you have a minute?

Chelsea: Me? Yeah.

Adam: No. Sally.

Chloe: Sally agreed to go to new york.

Chelsea: Good. I still think we should’ve fired her, but sending her out of town is the next best thing. Well done.

Chloe: Oh, this is bad. [ Scoffs ] You are going after adam full force, aren’t you? I’m sending sally to new york to prove that she’s a team player and you see this as an opportunity. No competition for adam’s attention. Oh, this is going to end in disaster. [ Scoffs ] I’m such an idiot. I thought that we were all smart enough to realize that adam only exists to sign our checks.

Chelsea: Stop being so melodramatic. I’m not delusional. If Adam doesn’t see a future for us, then that’s it. But, I mean, I have to give it a try. Even Connor said, we have to put in a little effort.

Chloe: Oh, my god.

Chelsea: No, you said yourself — you said yourself, you were going to work with Adam because he’s changed. Well, I see that he’s changed, too. I’m in a good head space now. I really think that things could be different this time. The only thing in my way was Sally, and you just took care of that, so thank you.

Chloe: [ Scoffs ]

Adam: Hey, I just, um.. I wanted to apologize for being brisk and dismissive yesterday. I had a run-in with Billy, and I just — I was not on my best behavior.

Sally: It’s cool. I didn’t take it personally.

Adam: Good. Here, let me.

Sally: Thank you.

Adam: So we’re cool?

Sally: Yes, we are better than cool. Hey, do you have any business in New York?

Adam: Uh, I might. Why do you ask?

Sally: Well, I have to go there, and it would be great to have some company.

Victor: Well, now, I see no advantage to selling Newman Media to Ashland-Locke. Good for you and Ashland. Means nothing to Adam and me, really. Besides, I think Adam has done very good things for the business.

Victoria: Are you sure about that?

Victor: Yes. We have become a company to be reckoned with in a very short period of time.

Victoria: Based off the business that Ashland built. I haven’t seen any innovation at all since the acquisition.

Victor: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you forgetting that we added a fashion platform to the business?

Victoria: Yes, Daddy, but any success there was just accidental. It was due to Sally and Chloe. All Adam has been doing is writing the checks.

Victor: That’s what one does when one’s starting a new business.

Victoria: Whereas I, on the other hand, have proven my business acumen over and over again, and you know that’s true.

Victor: I’m not going to compare my children’s business skills.

Victoria: That might be a mistake. You should sell Newman Media to me and Ashland before Adam does irreparable damage.

Victor: You’re exaggerating a little, aren’t you?

Victoria: Am I? Because when you weren’t looking, Adam almost let Billy destroy everything.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

oh! S-sorry. My bad. Brook lynn, what are you doing here? I hope you’re not terminally ill. I’m meeting chase and bailey here. He brought her in for her checkup. He’s such a devoted daddy. Yeah. Probably just trying to make up for lost time. Not that it was his fault. Have a beautiful day. Austin, wait. Wait! Look. I know that we got off on the wrong foot… yeah. …And a lot of that was on my end. No, all of that was on your end. I’m sorry. I interrupted you. It’s been a while — go ahead. What were you gonna say? A lot’s happened since we saw each other last, and I was just hoping that we could hit “rewind” and, you know, start over.

[ Sighs ] Ohh! It’s good to see you. Molly sends her regrets. She got hit with a sudden work thing. I remember working in the D.A.’S office, and getting hit by that “thing” is really exciting. Well, we just wanted to let you know as your daughters how proud we were that our mom is the new editorial voice of the invader. It was you guys that inspired me, really. And make sure that your sister — kristina I’m talking about — knows that, too. You guys always hold me to a higher standard. Don’t do that, mom. You deserved this. You worked really hard. I just hope that tracy pays for what she did. This is persecution! I am being pilloried by the proletariat! And it’s all because I carry the quartermaine name. Do you know what a burden that is?! Dante: Alright, tracy, you might want to drop the “poor little rich girl” routine. It’s not gonna get you any traction with the jury. Good morning, mother. Well, I just posted your bail. You’re welcome. Ha ha ha ha. You want me to thank you? Look how long it took you! Actually, the one you need to thank is your lawyer. I’d like you to meet martin grey. We’ve met. Indeed. And no thanks are necessary. I took the case as a favor to my sister, mayor laura collins. Oh, yes. The long-lost brothers — the kentucky fried lawyer and ponytailed gangster. That’s us. So what do you say we, uh, get you out of here, hmm? Get this over with, sit down and cut you a plea deal. Robert: This place still take stagger-ins?

[ Chuckles ] I think we can fit you in. Hi. Hi. So… any news about my erstwhile mother-in-law? Now, now. I know. I know. You can’t discuss the details of this case with me. But honest to god, robert, who would I tell? Well, there’s, uh — alright. Alright, alright! Alright. The last thing in the world that I would want to do is put you in a compromising position. I mean… yeah. I know what you mean. You summoned me. You seem surprised. Doesn’t happen very often. In fact, the only time in recent memory was because peter forced you, but you don’t seem to be in any danger. Yes, well — you think I can’t refuse you? You’d be right. I’m happy to hear you say that. Daddy! Hey! What’s going on? My two favorite girls. How are you? Good. Listen. I packed up your lunch. I know you already ate breakfast, okay? But before frankie takes you, uh, you got to take your, uh, little gummy vitamins. We’ll take ours if you take yours. Yeah! Of course. Here. Grab one. There you go. Good. Alright. This is for you… and this is for you.

[ Chuckles ] Mama carly! Look what daddy made! He made us lunches! Oh, wow. Well, daddy thinks of everything, huh? Alright, you guys. Give me a hug. Give me hugs. You guys have a great day at school. I love you. Alright. Frank, thanks so much. Frank: You’re welcome, mrs. Corinthos. Girls, come on. Let’s go. Let’s have a good day at school. Come on.

[ Door closes ] I thought we agreed that you weren’t staying last night. Uh, I guess you thought wrong.

I’m not saying that I have forgiven tracy for framing me for that dui, and of all the reasons — she was trying to hide what — what happened between me and ned. Mom, you’re sounding merciful. I’m just thinking that maybe losing luke is punishment enough for tracy. What happened to luke was an accident. What tracy did to you was deliberate. You can’t set out to destroy someone and expect to get a pass when… …nothing happens. I want you to get the charges dropped, dismissed, expunged. Make them go away. The D.A. Has enough evidence to send you for a not-insubstantial stay at pentonville. I have the influence of the quartermaine name. Just because you’re a member of a prominent family does not make you immune to consequences.

[ Chuckles ] Really? I thought we were in port charles. Mother, this makes no sense. There’s no reason for you to stay here. You — what is your name? Martin grey. We’ve met. Yes, I know. You’re fired.

[ Sighs ] What are — brook lynn, no. I’m — I’m not gonna do that. I’m not gonna press “stop” and “rewind” or whatever you just said. You tried to get me fired. You almost destroyed my professional reputation. Look at little leo. Thanks to your diagnosis, he’s finally getting the help that he needs. And it brought my dad and olivia back together. And the cherry on top is that look at you and my dear friend maxie — you’ve become great friends. So what do you say? Can’t we just let bygones be bygones? You’ve been through a lot since you came to my rescue in nixon falls. And, valentin, for what it’s worth, I am very, very sorry about what happened with bailey. Thank you. Um, charlotte’s taking it surprisingly well. Her attitude seems to be “I loved bailey when she was my sister. Why should that stop just ’cause she isn’t?” Yes, that sounds like charlotte. She feels the same way about you, if you ever want to stop by. Oh, yeah. I would love that. Just say the word. Thank you. You know, she’s almost a teenager. Oh, god help you! But, of course, you have anna. I’m sure she’s full of wisdom about those things. Yeah, indeed. You didn’t call me here just for a catch-up, so what can I do for you? Valentin, I was hoping that we could…join forces? And we’re not talking about

crimson and deception. No, I’m talking about a personal threat. What kind of personal threat? I made a new enemy… and it turns out that my enemy is also your enemy. I thought I told you last night that if you were here this morning, I was going to leave. I know what you said, carly. But here you are. This is how you respect my feelings? Well, I — I respect our marriage enough… to not leave it hanging. But not enough to tell me that you and nina did everything except tumble into bed together. Because I remembered who you are. I remembered your face. I remembered your hair. The way you walk, the way you talk. That’s why it didn’t go any further with nina. Because I remembered who I was and how much I love you… …and how much I still love you. Isn’t that enough?

now, h-harmony… join us, please. Uh, you know what? No. I-I know how hard these mother/daughter moments are to come by, so maybe some other time. I’m sure she’s got something else to do. Alright, guys. Look. Please. Please, for my sake, can we just come to some kind of a truce? I-I was alone in that prison for a long time, and — and harmony was my only friend. And not only that, new year’s eve, you know, I was sitting right there in that chair staring at a bunch of champagne flutes that I was really thinking about downing. And harmony sat there and talked to me until I came to my senses. So things would have gone a lot differently if it weren’t for harmony. I really have harmony to thank for that. Martin, please don’t quit. I didn’T. Leona helmsley here gave me the boot. Well, she can’t fire you. I’m the one who hired you. So you’re working for me. You’re fired, too. For the last time, mother, you can’t fire your children! We’re not like husbands! Alright. This is super fun and everything, but I’m gonna give you about five minutes to sort this out, and then I’m gonna escort tracy from the building so she can wait for her court case to start. Tracy, been a blast, as usual. Um, I’ll probably see you back in here sometime soon, I guess.

Et tu, dante? Hmm? I can’t believe you’ve cast me as the villain. It was alexis that went nuts and stabbed you. Yeah, yeah, that sucked, but she did her time, went to jail, came out better for it. Maybe the same thing will happen to you. Mother, listen to reason. Let martin sit down with robert on your behalf and negotiate a deal. If luke was here right now, isn’t that what he’d want you to do? I’ve been meaning to contact you. I wanted to thank you for telling me about luke. I was touched that you thought of me. Well, of course, I thought of you. You’re the first person that I thought of. Also, um… it gave me an excuse to call you. You don’t need an excuse. Really? ‘Cause lately it seems like you’ve been… making yourself scarce. I thought I was doing you a favor by keeping my distance. Because of ned? Ahh. I don’t want to get in the way of whatever’s going on between you two. It wasn’t about you. It, uh — it never was. It wasn’t? Ohh, man. I don’t know whether to be glad or sad. You really are a piece of work. You do everything you can to try and destroy me, you force me to relinquish my right to my own family’s legacy, and now you just want me to let bygones be bygones? No. Can’t do that, brook lynn. I’m just not wired that way. Well, the rest of the quartermaines are. Look, I know this may be new to you, but, uh, believe me, you came out of this pretty unscathed. No, I didn’T. But, hey, at least you weren’t as destructive with me as you were with valentin. I have a few enemies, nina. You may have to narrow it down for me. Right now I’m focusing on brook lynn, and she’ll be fired directly. I hope you’re not too hard on brook lynn. Why not? Because, valentin, her family made her feel like an outcast. You know what that’s like. And she felt like the only way back into the family’s good graces was to reclaim her voting shares of elq. Listen. It would be one thing if I was the only one hurt, but charlotte lost her sister. I’m not gonna forgive brook lynn for that. Is that it? You got something against the quartermaines? Just one. Michael corinthos. I don’t doubt that you love me… any more than you should doubt that I love you. Then what are we doing? Sleeping in — in separate bedrooms…

[ Sighs ] …Drawing l-lines in the sand. We have what most people would die to have — a marriage that has stood the test of time. Whatever people throw at us, we’re — we’re still here. It doesn’t matter. We’re still standing — sonny, I need more than words!

[ Sighs ] I need more than the memories that we’ve shared! I need time! I need time to deal with what you told me… time to deal with the fact that you don’t think that what nina did was criminal. And I need time to deal with what you didn’t tell me until I heard it on a witness stand — that you have feelings for nina. That’s why I said that if you wouldn’t give me the time and the space that I was gonna leave. That’s why I said that. Yeah, but people say all sorts of things in the moment, and then the next morning, you know, it’s a whole different ballgame. You’re doing it again. You’re doing it again. Doing what? You’re acting like we can go back to the way things were before nina! Forget nina! “Forget nina.” That’s in the past! Really? Yeah. Then why were you with her on new year’s eve? And why the hell did I have to hear about it from nina?!

Thanks to sam, uh, tracy’s been arrested. The woman who framed you? Tried to. As it turns out, I’m the only one that can send me to the slammer. Well, I’m glad she’s paying for what she did to you. Well, she’s started to. What’d I miss? She was protecting her family. Uh, that is no excuse for what she did to you and no reason to ease up on her. I hear you. You’re not wrong. What do you think? Um, well, I think that tracy took away your agency when she framed you, but you’re in control of what happens next. You’re right. I am in control about what happens next. If you’ll excuse me, I need to make a phone call. Okay. Before my mother gets back, we need to get a few things straight about you and my mother. Ned was the one that crossed the line. He jeopardized our marriage when he cheated with alexis. Oh. So I really was just your plaything. Stop it. Robert, it was more than that. And you know it. Well… if only you didn’t love that bugger. Guilty as charged.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Clears throat ] Um… I’m sorry, babe, but I’m gonna have to take this. Yeah. I got to go.

[ Ringing continues ] Alexis. What’s up? Robert. I need a favor. Actually, luke would expect me to fight, not cave to johnny law. Luke seems to have rubbed off on you, mother. Thank you. I didn’t mean that in a good way. I know. I will not accept a so-called plea deal that involves jail time, probation, community service, and even the most tacit admission of guilt. Detective. Yeah? A word if you please. Sure. Okay. You got– you gotta get her the hell out of here. I know, I know! How do you suggest I do that? She’s obviously impervious to logic, regardless of her circumstances, so I’m asking you flat out, please. You got some kind of relationship with her. Can you intercede with the D.A. On her behalf?

[ Sighs ] No offense, mother, but are you out of your mind? I have never been more sure and more sane in my life. Luke’s affairs need to be settled, and in order for me to do that, I have to get on a plane back to amsterdam A.S.A.P., And I cannot do that if these charges are hanging over me while I’m out on bail! Okay, well, why didn’t you say that before? Because it’s nobody’s business! And, by the way, I am not leaving this jail cell or this country until you and I have had a conversation about your daughter. Fine. You hunted me down at the metro court to tell me something about brook lynn. What is it? Well, that’s just it. It could be nothing. It could be something. It could be everything. Can you just tell me? Why are you being so mysterious? Well, it… has to do with your granddaughter. Bailey? What about her? I am genuinely sorry I hurt valentin, especially his daughter charlotte. Yeah, I don’t believe you. You had to have known what was gonna happen. You had to have known that people were gonna get hurt. And you did it anyway. Are you really that different? Weren’t you prepared to do anything for your father to keep your promise to get that seat at the family table that you believe was rightfully his? It really was rightfully his. I understand your sense of loyalty. I even admire it. Really, I do. So I’m gonna go talk to the rest of the clan. Okay? If we can’t give you a seat at the table or elq shares, I’m sure there’s something we can do. Yeah. Sure. There’s gotta be something you can do to buy me off. Michael is furious. And trust me — there’s very little michael won’t do to keep me out of wiley’s life. I already lost a daughter. I’ll be damned if I lose a grandson, not when new york state guarantees my rights. Nina, rights are one thing. But if you’re gonna take on michael, then you’re not just taking on the quartermaines. You’re taking on the corinthos family. And that means sonny. And I can’t imagine he was too thrilled to learn you were keeping him from his family. No, he wasn’T. But we’ve made peace with my — my decisions. How long’s that peace gonna last when he learns you’re going after his grandson? Well, he’s my grandson, too. Mike understands that. Who’s mike? It’s — it’s just the name that sonny used when he was in nixon falls. Huh. Well, maybe “mike” understands, but… I don’t think sonny ever will. You spent new year’s eve with the woman you claim that’s a part of your past that you left in nixon falls. Okay, first of all, I didn’t spend the night with her.

[ Scoffs ] I was shaken by everything that went down at the hearing after I left you. I went to charlie’s, and I, uh, had too much to drink, and — and nina, uh, so happens, she was there. She drove me to my penthouse. Nina. Yeah. “Just so happens.” Right. And? And then she left. And then I woke up with a hangover. Does that make you happy? None of this makes me happy. Do you think I enjoy thinking the worst about you or suspecting you or wondering when to expect the next time nina’s gonna “just so happen”? I hate it. I hate it! I hate feeling like our marriage is built on quicksand. I want to trust you… without even thinking about it, the way I used to. But now… what? Carly, look. I-I’m trying to be honest here. But, you know, since we’re… you want to call it quits. Is that what you’re saying?

I-I can’t tell you. Why not? You were so fired up to tell me this little secret that you actually came out into the open and got yourself arrested. I know. I-I know. But it gave me time to think, and I-I-I need more information before I get you involved. Involved? Are we talking a crime or just a conspiracy?

That’s what I have to find out. So you go talk to harland sanders, attorney at law, and I will find out exactly what brook lynn is hiding. No. No. You can’t imply that brook lynn is involved in something and then just drop it. Good new everyone! For whom? Tracy. The D.A.’S office has revisited your case. As in, they don’t have one. Excellent! Well, that’s what you wanted, mother. Let’s go. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. This is too good to be true. What changed? I suppose I did. First of all, there’s no reason for me to buy you off. You already relinquished your claim. There’s nothing to buy. Okay. Agreed. Don’t even bother, then. Austin. Okay. There’s the family, and then there’s the family business. And the problem with a lot of people in the family, including myself, is that we don’t separate the two. We literally don’t know how. I know. I know. I’ve noticed that. If there was a document, you know, a signed and witnessed codicil to my great-grandfather’s will that clearly stated that he wanted to recognize your dad, then that would be that. But there’s nothing, so for me to even suggest — so don’T. Why are you doing this? Brook lynn, you’re just trying to ease your own conscience by purchasing mine. Oh, please. Mister “man of principle.” If you didn’t care about money, you never would have come knocking on my family’s door, and now that there isn’t any, you can just say it was never your intention. It was never my intention. I-it’s just not about that. It’s about your family recognizing my father and — and realizing that he deserves to be remembered, he deserves to be respected. And, you, you are so blinded by your privilege that you just assume — you think everybody else in the world is as greedy and as self-serving as you are. You used leo — leo, tiny little leo — as a pawn in your game. And me, all — all I did was react the way any doctor worth a damn would react. If you’re finished… yeah, well, no, I’m finished with that part, but, no, I’m not finished, brook lynn. I’m just getting started. Valentin, forget it. I got caught up in all the drama with michael and the family. I guess I just got carried away, so… you know, when I learned that you had been keeping sonny’s identity from him… I guess I assumed that it was retribution for carly keeping nelle’s identity from you. It was, at first. Did your have feelings for him? I mean, did you have feelings for one another? We were both very lost in different ways. I’m not judging. I think life’s better if I don’t keep track of the details of your life. I-I-I think I’m getting pretty good at that. You’ve moved on. Seems like we both have. Which means we can help each other without complications? Well, I don’t know if going toe-to-toe with sonny corinthos is without complications. Are you saying that you’re not gonna help me with michael? It’s not just michael, is it? You’re talking about fighting a war on two fronts, with a child in between. I can’t help you with that. But, nina, please don’t go against michael. It’s not gonna make life easier with sonny. It is always good to see you. You really have changed, valentin. Are you really telling me to turn the other cheek?

[ Door closes ] Are you saying

you want to call it quits? I’m here, aren’t I? Even after you told me to leave last night, I slept in the guest room. Was that because of your pride? No, because I love you. I don’t care if I don’t share a bed with you. It was my love for you that made me sleep apart from you. That doesn’t make any — it’s the only thing that does make sense because… if we’re — if this marriage is gonna work, we can’t force it. We need the time to figure out what went wrong and what we can do to make it right. But you’re overcomplicating it. Here’s what happened. I fell off a bridge into the river. I went on shore. I woke up. I didn’t know who I was or where I came from. And along came nina. Well, nina can’t come between us if we don’t let her! She’s here! Come on!

[ Sighs ] She’s here. She’s in this room. She’s in our marriage. And unless or until you can forget her, sonny… can you forget her? Or are you using her as an excuse to not get back with me? What? Because part of you has already gone. And it went with jason.

Harmony, I-I know you’ve changed. I’ve seen it. And believe me, I-I didn’t want to. Well, thank you for saying so. Don’t thank me. I… I can’t imagine how hard it was for you to testify against shiloh, but after what you did to all of those women… and to my sister… you think it doesn’t make me sick thinking that I was helping those women… when I was drugging them? Including my own daughter? When I look back on that time now… …let me tell you, that’s a hell of a nightmare to wake up from. And I have to live with that every second of every day. And I am doing everything I can to atone for that. So if there’s more that I can do for you or your mom… especially kristina. I-I’m glad you asked, because actually there is. Name it. My mom is trying her hardest to turn her life around, and she’s doing a really good job, but she is in a fragile state, and one little slip… she destroys everything. So I’m asking you as her friend… just be straight with her. Of course. I don’t mean just being honest. I mean, if you say you’re gonna do something, do it. Look. For what it’s worth, sam… I truly believe that your mother and i can help each other. Because you’re her friend? Yeah. She’s mine. And that’s what friends do. Unless you — you think that your mother would be better off alone. Alexis, I assume you’re here to gloat. Just not sure what about. I’ve just informed robert that in the matter of the people versus tracy quartermaine, I have decided not to cooperate. What does that mean? It means that without alexis’ testimony, we won’t be pursuing the case. Not that we couldn’T. We still have sam’s testimony and my mother’S. But if I don’t cooperate, there is no victim. Martin: And in the absence of a victim, there is no crime to prosecute. As such, the D.A.’S office is going to pass on this one. You mean I’m free? Well, for now. I mean, if alexis decides to change her mind, the charges can be re-filed. We’ll take that as a “yes.” Not so much as a “thank you.” I’d apologize for my mother, but… honestly, I think that’s as good as it’s gonna get from her. Yeah. Knowing her, she has another fire to put out. She’s probably gonna start one. So glad I ran into you today, brook lynn. I’d almost forgotten what kind of people we were from, so thank you for the reminder. Oh, you’re welcome. Quartermaines are filled with righteous indignation. I know that. I’ve noticed. But we never storm out of a room without figuring out a way back in, but you did. More proof you’re not really one of us. But i am one of you. My father was. He’s edward’s son. So — so what? “So what?” That’s your argument? “So what?” Acknowledging that, okay, bringing jimmy lee holt into the fold, that was completely up to edward. And edward didn’t do it. And now edward is gone. And the more you insist to have some claim on — on my family, the more reason you give us to shut the door in your face. Yes, I know all of that, brook lynn. You think any of that is gonna stop me? Austin. Something wrong? Jason and I told you everything… mm-hmm. …How our friendship turned into something more while you were presumed dead, while nina kept you from your family. So if you want to compare that to what you kept from me since you’ve been back — and not just about what happened in nixon falls, but on how you still feel for nina — are you kidding me, sonny? It’s just not nina. You have to admit that there’s more than three people in this marriage now. It’s up to four. Okay. Listen to me. I am not going to apologize for mourning jason. Of course. I mean, in time, he’s gonna be a memory, an unforgettable memory, but a part of my past. As long as nina’s alive, there’s no chance for our marriage. Is that a threat? Do you think that I would risk losing my kids to put an end to her? No, that’s up to you. You need to kill her off. And I don’t mean physically. I mean in your heart. Because until you do that, there is no chance for us. And we both can’t live here. So… I’m gonna be the one to go because avery and donna are so happy that you were home, I’m not gonna traumatize them all over again by making daddy go away. So I will leave, and I will be back here in the morning to start their day and I will put them to bed every night. Carly.

My mother is hardly alone. She has her daughters. She has diane miller. She has shawn butler. She’s got a great new job with a really beautiful-looking future. So whatever you’re selling, I’m not buying it. I’m not selling anything, sam.

[ Sighs ] Harmony, i really wish I could believe you. But after what you did to me and my sister, I will not forget. And no one is asking you to. Look, when I look back on that time… come on. I just need to prove myself, okay? Will you just let me — let me prove myself? Okay. You can try. But I’ll be watching.

[ Scoffs ] I want to thank you, alexis. You saved me and the city a lot of time, trouble, and money. Anything for port charles. I’ll get stuck into this right away and have the charges dropped. I better get back to work, too. Uh, just making sure you are sure about this, right? I am. I know my mother was less than appreciative. Surprise, surprise. It’s a good thing I didn’t do it for her. Well, then why? You didn’t do it for me, did you? I did it for luke, a little bit for you, but I did it mostly for me. Dr. Gatlin-holt and I were just setting some things straight. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go be with chase… and our baby. Ohh. Did you catch that? She just kind of twisted that knife a little bit. Indeed. Yeah. Apparently some people think I’ve softened, that I’ve lost my edge. Have you lost your edge? I don’t know. Maybe you can help me answer the question. Have you forgotten how the quartermaines treated you? No. Why? You’re interested in making brook lynn pay for what she’s done to you? Ah! Brook lynn. I thought I’d find you here. I thought you were in jail. Never mind that. We need to talk. Okay. Oh. Can’t we talk later? I’m on my way to see chase and my baby. Oh, you mean maxie’s baby.

[ Cellphone rings ] Hmm. Ms. Reeves. What a pleasure. Or should I be asking what has valentin done now? Nothing, which is the problem. I don’t follow. It’s nothing. It’s just a little joke that I have with myself. Um, mr. Grey, are you free for lunch? I need some legal advice. Hey. Hey. I thought you were working from home today. Well, as of now, the metro court is my home. Oh. Okay. Um, I hope that doesn’t mean what I think it means. Well, it means that the house isn’t big enough for both sonny and me,

I’m moving in here while we take a time-out. Okay. Well, I know it’s none of my business, but I’m gonna butt in anyway. Are you sure? One of us had to go. He couldn’T. I could. So I did.

[ Sighs ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Bottle clatters ] Ohh.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Demon johnny: So last night, now, that– that is what I call a party. Champagne, caviar, chaos, pain.

[Chuckles] Oh, but that is just the beginning. Oh, no, no. Wait till you see what I’m gonna do next.

Ej: Johnny. Who were you talking to?

[Dramatic music]

Belle: Hey. Did you get those contracts I left at your place last night?

Chad: I did.

Belle: Great.

Chad: Signed and initialed.

Belle: Thank you. And I’m glad I caught you before ej’s trial. You’re going, right?

Chad: I have to. I’m a witness for the prosecution.

Ava: Nicole.

Nicole: Oh, uh, hi.

Ava: Hey. Well, what a surprise. You know, rafe and I, we were just going in for some breakfast. Why don’t you join us?

Nicole: I would love to, except I’m running late. I was just gonna grab something from sweet bits. So maybe another time, okay?

Ava: Okay, that was a little odd, don’t you think?

Rafe: Hm? What do you mean?

Ava: Well, I could have sworn she was going into the brady pub and… you don’t think she’s avoiding us, do you?

[Dramatic music]

Melinda: Oh, look who’s here.

Tripp: Hey, melinda.

Melinda: Sorry to tell you, looks like you wasted a trip, tripp.

Tripp: Ha. Yeah. It’s weird, they should have opened, like, half an hour ago.

Melinda: Yeah, I know when they should have opened. I also know that I just came all the way across town just to cool my heels for the last 20 minutes.

Tripp: Well, sorry.

Melinda: It’s not your fault. Adequate baked goods. Completely unprofessional management.

Tripp: Hey, come on. Don’t– don’t post that, okay?

Melinda: Why shouldn’t I?

Tripp: Well, for one, it’s not true. And mainly, it’s not fair. You have no idea why they’re late.

Melinda: And you do?

Tripp: Yeah, kinda. And, look, I’m telling you, this morning… chanel doesn’t need any more grief, okay?

[Tense music]

Allie: Oh, my god. Last night, that wasn’t– that wasn’t a dream? We…

Chanel: Yeah. We did.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Chanel: You’re freaking out, aren’t you?

Allie: No.

Chanel: You’re playing with your hair. You only do that when you’re freaking out. Horton. What’s going on? Talk to me. Whatever it is, just say it. I know last night was your first time with another girl.

Allie: Yeah. Yeah, it was.

Chanel: And you’re weirded out, aren’t you?

Allie: No. No, not really. Being with you last night, it felt…natural.

Chanel: Well… it did for me too. But I want you to know that what happened last night, it wasn’t planned. When I asked you to stay, I did not intend for that to happen.

Allie: I know. But it did. We…made love, and it was… in the moment, it was so wonderful.

[Sighs] But… this morning, I just– I can’t help thinking about–

[Phone ringing]

[Dramatic music]

Johnny: You got me. Sometimes I talk to nonno. Crazy, right?

Ej: [Chuckles] Only if you hear him answer back. Telling him about last night, were you?

Johnny: Last night? What about last night?

Ej: Oh, you know, dumping your new bride in front of a room full of people including her own mother.

Johnny: You think I was… indiscrete?

Ej: Indiscrete, melodramatic, self-indulgent. That would be your mother in you.

Johnny: Might have been a little melodramatic, but effective. I just–I hate those long, drawn-out post-mortems. “It’s not you, it’s me.”

Ej: Effective, calculated, and although there were moments where you did seem genuinely contrite… it was still very cruel.

Johnny: And that would be my father in me.

Ej: Touché.

Johnny: Hey, come on. This is your “I told you so” moment. You should be relishing. Your humbled son coming to you saying, “oh, father, I was wrong. You were right. If only I’d listened to you the whole time.”

Ej: Because you never listen to anyone.

Johnny: I never used to, I admit. But… upon reflection, I have come to see that that was immature. Downright juvenile.

Ej: Mm. Not buying it.

Johnny: Oh, no? Well, I’m glad you’re sitting down then, because I’m about to do a complete 180. You weren’t just right about chanel. You… you were right about me.

Ej: Really?

Johnny: Really. I’ve been running from my legacy. I was just telling nonno right before you walked in what I’m about to tell you now. My future, my place in this world, is not in hollywood, it’s here… at dimera.

Belle: I knew you and ej weren’t getting along, but to testify against him? That’S…pretty harsh, don’t you think?

Chad: I don’t really have a choice. I’m the one that found the payments made to the goons who were guarding sami, so…

Belle: Well, yeah, but according to ej, those payments were planted. Someone intended them to be found.

Chad: Yeah. Of course ej’s gonna say that.

Belle: Okay. So you’re saying that you think not only did he make the payments, but he did it with corporate money and then recorded it?

Chad: Wouldn’t be the first time his arrogance trumped his common sense.

Belle: Well, I’m sure that’s exactly the case that melinda trask will make.

[Clears throat]

Chad: Uh, so let me ask you this. If he is convicted, what kind of sentence do you think he’s gonna get?

Belle: I don’t know. Maybe eight to ten?

Chad: Eight to ten years?

Belle: Yeah. It’s a felony offense.

Chad: I just thought it would be less than that.

Belle: Really? I mean, he had his wife kidnapped and held her in isolation so she didn’t know where she was or what was gonna happen to her. God, if you ask me, if ej did do it, he deserves that and a lot more. Woman: I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Ava: I mean, come on. You must have seen that. I mean, nicole was headed for the door until she saw us. How lame was her excuse? It’s not even 9:00, I– how could she be running late?

Rafe: Okay, ava. Maybe she didn’t have time for breakfast. Maybe she was just, I don’t– getting something to go.

Ava: Yeah, from here. But then she decided to go to sweet bits. It’s like she can’t be in the same room with you. For my sake. And I don’t know. I mean, how many times have i told her it’s okay? I know the two of you are friends.

Rafe: Ava. I think you’re making too much of this, okay?

Ava: Am I?

Rafe: Mm.

Ava: Because sometimes I feel like… I feel like she just sees me as some overly possessive nutjob.

Chad: No. She does not see you that way.

Ava: Yeah, well, I’m not so sure.

[Sighs] Which means that we both need to work harder at making her feel comfortable around us. I mean, the two of you have gone above and beyond to make sure that I know how much you care about me. So… I don’t think either one of you needs to suffer any longer.

[Emotional country music]

[Door opens]

Belle: Hey.

Nicole: Hey.

Belle: All right, I got chad’s signature. I just need yours. Oh, you’re reading about ej’s trial, huh?

Nicole: I just can’t stop thinking that ej should not be representing himself.

Belle: [Laughs] I think he’s having the same realization. Last night he asked me to represent him.

Nicole: Are you going to?

Belle: No. No. I turned him down.

Nicole: Why?

Belle: Well, I work for dimera, so it would be a professional conflict of interest. Not to mention the personal one.

Nicole: Meaning sami would lose her mind if you took his case.

Belle: Exactly.

Nicole: [Laughs] Seems to me like a really good reason to do it.

Ej: Damn it, johnny, would you sit down? I feel like there’s a vulture circling overhead.

Johnny: [Chuckles] Sorry. Aren’t you gonna eat anything?

Ej: It’s like my mother’s still here. “Aren’t you gonna eat anything?”

[Sighs] No, I’m the one who’s sorry.

[Clears throat] Not in a great mood this morning.

Johnny: It’s okay. I get it. You’re about to stand trial for kidnapping. And that’s the morning that your son who’s been acting like kind of a jerk the last year or so decides to tell you that he is a changed man, that he’s seen the light.

Ej: Don’t say you were acting like a jerk.

Johnny: You don’t think I was?

Ej: Of course you were. But don’t admit it.

Johnny: Right. An apology is an admission of guilt. Learned that one on nonno’s knee.

Ej: So why the change in heart? What happened to your dream of becoming the next fellini?

Johnny: I just… I decided that I… didn’t wanna make movies about other people. I wanted to be the star of my own movie. I also realized that I still have a lot to learn from… you.

Ej: Well, as swell as that is to hear, your timing’s unfortunate. If the da has her way, you’ll be visiting me in statesville.

Johnny: But wouldn’t it be nice to have someone looking after your interests at dimera?

Ej: Such filial devotion.

Johnny: Okay. I’ve also realized that my interests are very closely tied with your interests. “Oh, daddy, I wanna be just like you when I grow up.”

[Both chuckle]

Ej: So tell me, is that why you offloaded the missus last night?

Ej: To do what I wanna do, I need to be… unencumbered.

Ej: And so to hell with chanel?

Johnny: I do feel for her. How will she ever find someone to take my place?

[Phone ringing]

Allie: What do I do?

Chanel: Well, answer it. You don’t want him get worried.

Allie: Okay. Hi, tripp.

Tripp: Hey. I stopped by the bakery to see you, but it’s closed.

Allie: Yeah. Um, I knew chanel was not gonna be in any shape to work today, and I just–I didn’t feel like running things by myself. It was kind of a long night.

Tripp: Yeah, I can imagine. Well, good thing for chanel that she had you. I imagine it was pretty intense.

Allie: Yeah. Yeah, it was.

Tripp: So where are you now?

Allie: Um, I’m home.

Tripp: Great. I have some time before work. I’ll come right over and see you.

Allie: Actually, I, um– I’m running out the door ’cause I’m gonna go check on chanel. I just wanna, you know, make sure she’s okay.

Tripp: Oh, uh, okay. That’s really nice of you. Well, please tell her how sorry I am about what your jerk of a brother did.

Allie: Yeah, I will.

Tripp: No, I’m sorry. That just slipped out.

Allie: No, I understand.

Tripp: It must be kinda hard not to say, “I told you so” to chanel, you know? I mean, it’s not like you didn’t warn her about him.

Allie: Um, tripp, I have to go.

Tripp: Right. Sorry. I’ll stop by, though, after my shift.

Allie: Great. I’ll see you then.

Tripp: I love you.

Allie: I… love you too.

[Sighs]

Chanel: What did he– was he suspicious?

Allie: No. Not at all. He was completely understanding which just makes it clearer that I am the worst person on the planet.

Chanel: You’re being too hard on yourself.

Allie: I cheated on my boyfriend.

Chanel: Well… I cheated on my husband. Not that he gives a damn.

Allie: And now I’m lying to him. I feel sick.

Chanel: I’m sorry.

Allie: I know what i have to do. I have to tell him the truth.

Ava: Hey, stranger.

Tripp: Hey, mom.

Ava: Oh. Now that you are a full-fledged doctor, I feel like I never get to see you anymore.

Tripp: I am putting in a lot of hours.

Ava: You busy right now?

Tripp: No.

Ava: Great. I’m gonna go to sweet bits, get you a coffee and one of chanel’s muffins.

Tripp: Actually, the bakery is closed today.

Ava: Really? Where’s allie?

Tripp: She’s got her hands full with chanel.

Johnny: So honestly, how do you think the trial’s gonna go?

Ej: [Grunts] To my mind, they don’t have much of a case. And the way I live my life, I’ve built up an enormous amount of goodwill with the citizens of salem.

Johnny: A real pillar of the community. Now, do you wanna level with me?

Ej: [Sighs] It’s bad. Trask hates kristen with the heat of a thousand suns, and kristen made her look like a fool. She wants me to pay for my sister’s sins.

Johnny: And putting away a dimera wouldn’t do her political career any harm.

Ej: Exactly. And my dear brother chad will do anything and everything to help her achieve that end. Would you please stop fiddling with that? Put it down.

Johnny: Sorry. I was just thinking about nonno. Chess, strategy, the move after the next move.

Ej: My god. You’re so full of dimera this morning, aren’t you?

Johnny: I am. And I’m thinking if you do go to prison, I am the only one left to get you out. Deal with fredo– I mean chad. And make damn sure that dimera enterprises has a aaa buy rating by the time you get out and I hand you back the reins.

Ej: Quite an agenda. And how do you propose to be able to do all that?

Johnny: Well, I haven’t worked out all the details yet. But I know where it starts. You need to sign all your shares over to me.

Belle: I wouldn’t take ej’s case just to spite my sister.

Nicole: Okay. Then how about a more noble motivation? How about stopping an innocent man from being railroaded?

Belle: You think ej is innocent?

Nicole: I know he is.

Belle: Why, because he’s such a good guy?

Nicole: Oh, god, no. I don’t think–

[Sighs] Look, I know that ej is more than capable of kidnapping sami. And I also know that if he had, he would have never let sami escape. And he sure as hell wouldn’t have left that paper trail at dimera enterprises.

Belle: You really believe that, don’t you?

Nicole: I do. And this is coming from a woman who really freakin’ hates his guts right now.

Belle: Why?

Nicole: Because he dropped me like a hot potato for sami and didn’t have the guts to tell me. And I had to hear it from her.

Belle: [Laughs] And I’m sure sami broke the news with grace and tact.

Nicole: She was insufferable. Ej knew that she would tell me and that she would rub my nose in it.

Belle: Wait, so you think ej planned that?

Nicole: I do. And being the kinda gal I am, I want ej to pay for what he did to me. But he didn’t kidnap sami and he shouldn’t have to pay for that.

Kate: Good morning, hamlet. Something is rotten in the state of dimera?

Chad: You know there is.

Kate: No, I don’t know that. Ej may be facing trial for something he might not have done, but in the history of dimera family business, that’s like pilfering office supplies.

Chad: We both know he didn’t do it and that I’m the primary reason he was charged with it.

Kate: Yes, well, I suggest you wait and see if he’s convicted before you don your sackcloth and your ashes.

Chad: Oh, he’s gonna be convicted. For one thing, he’s defending himself like A… like an idiot. Just now belle told me that– that he could get eight to ten years.

Kate: What’s the sudden attack of conscience? You were totally fine with him taking the fall.

Chad: Well, I thought I was. You know, I figured in my place, ej would do the same thing.

Kate: Yes, he wouldn’t think twice about it.

Chad: Right. But the thing is if I do what ej would do, then– then I’m just like him. And I can’t let that happen.

Kate: Oh, my god. What are you saying?

Chad: That maybe I should tell him that it was lucas that really kidnapped sami.

Kate: Oh, my god. My plaque psoriasis…

Chanel: [Sighs] Okay, you need to calm down and think about this. Are you sure telling tripp what happened is a good idea?

Allie: Well, it’s the right thing to do.

Chanel: I don’t buy that. You tell tripp what happened and one, you really, really hurt a great guy, and two, you could blow what the two of you have out of the water.

Allie: But I’m lying to him.

Chanel: No, you’re protecting him. Look. What happened between us last night, it was a one-time thing. And it was special. You were there when i needed you. But you still love tripp.

Allie: Yeah, I do.

Chanel: And… and don’t you dare laugh– I still love johnny.

Allie: Even after what he did to you?

Chanel: That was not the johnny I know.

Allie: Well, it’s sure as hell the johnny I know.

Chanel: Okay, look, right now we just need to focus on you and tripp. And I really, really don’t want last night to mess that up.

Allie: Well, he could– he could forgive me.

Or he could say “deuces” and kick your ass to the curb. Look, for god sakes, horton, just keep your mouth shut. For both your sakes.

Allie: Like my mom did? She didn’t tell ej when she was with my dad, and by the time she did, it was way worse then if she had just been honest from the start. Okay, no. No, I have to tell tripp. I don’t have a choice.

Ava: Wow, poor chanel. You know, I’m a vitali and i even think the dimera’s are cruel bastards.

Tripp: Yeah, and allie agrees with you. She’s been trying for months to get chanel away from johnny.

Ava: Really?

Tripp: Yeah. At least allie was there last night. I mean, she’s the one who got chanel home. And I just talked to her now and she’s on her way over there to see how she’s doing this morning.

Ava: Hmm. What a good friend.

Tripp: Ma.

Ava: What? You’re the one who told me there was a bit of sappho in that relationship.

Tripp: Okay, note to self: Never tell you anything ever again.

Ava: I’m not judging.

Tripp: No, no. Not you.

Ava: Look, I just want you to be okay. I’m looking out for you, okay?

Tripp: Well, you don’t have to, okay? This thing with chanel is over, all right? Allie… she chose me.

Ava: Honey, feelings like that, they don’t just go away. It’s not like you can flip them on and off just like a lightbulb, okay? I’m just looking out for you and I really– I really don’t want you to end up with a broken heart.

Melinda: I need to talk to you. Look at this.

Rafe: And a cheery good morning to you too.

Melinda: No, it is not a good morning, especially not for you. A serious allegation has been made against you.

Rafe: Oh, yeah? What’s that?

Melinda: What’s that?

Rafe: Yeah.

Melinda: It’s that you planted evidence to get a conviction. So… what do you have to say for yourself, commissioner?

Belle: I mean, I get that the execution was a little clumsy, but you can’t say that a jealous vendetta is out of character for ej.

Nicole: I didn’t say that.

Belle: And that guard, jason, said it was ej.

Nicole: You don’t think jason said what the highest bidder told him to say? Come on, the giant sleuth that cracked the case was chad? The little brother, the co-ceo, that ej effectively neutered? Oh, I’m sorry, marginalized.

Belle: Wait, so you think chad is setting him up? I’m not sure it was him, but I am sure someone’s orchestrating things to frame ej. And I’m also sure that if ej’s not careful, it’s gonna work.

Kate: You knew that I had qualms about this from the very beginning and you convinced me to keep quiet.

Chad: Well, I was angry at him.

Kate: Of course you were angry at him. He’s been trying to stab you in the back from day one. I mean, worming his way into giovanni’s movies so he could have sex scenes with abigail just trying to get under your skin.

Chad: Right, which is why i had no problem getting him fired. But letting him rot in prison for something he didn’t do? That’s too much.

Kate: If you tell the truth, lucas is going to be in that prison.

Chad: The difference is lucas actually committed the crime, so maybe he’s the one that should pay for it.

Trelegy for copd.

Tripp: Allie isn’t going to break my heart, okay? She loves me and I love her to. She and chanel are just friends.

Ava: [Laughs] Yes, I have heard that one before. You know what it could be? It could be a cover. A cover for them just to be together right under your nose and you think you can trust them and then all of a sudden they’re just stabbing you right in the back.

Tripp: We are still talking about allie and chanel, right?

Ava: Of course.

Tripp: It just seemed to me that little tirade sounded pretty personal. Is everything okay with you and rafe?

Ava: Yeah. Perfect. And you know what, it is personal. Because you are my son and i don’t want anyone hurting you.

Tripp: You don’t have to worry about me, mom. Chanel is not a threat. Allie and I are in a– we’re in a really good place.

Chanel: Okay, my mom is gone so the coast is clear.

Allie: Okay. But before I go, I just wanna make sure… are you okay?

Chanel: No. But I will be. Mostly thanks to you. It’s just…

Allie: What?

Chanel: I told you that I’m worried that what happened last night might screw things up with you and tripp. But I’m also worried about us.

Allie: Why?

Chanel: Because… I already lost my husband and… I–I don’t know what I’d do if I lost my best friend too.

Allie: Never. Never. You are never going to lose me. Okay? I’ll see you later, okay?

Chanel: Yeah.

Allie: Okay.

Chanel: Bye, horton.

[Emotional music]

Ej: You want me to sign over my shares to you?

Jonny: Dad, if you go to prison, the second you enter that cell, chad’s going into action. I’m gonna need the power to vote your shares in order to fend him off.

Ej: You already have shares of your own. And on your last birthday, you became old enough to vote on the board, so–

Johnny: No, but that’s not enough to counteract any moves chad might make. And tell me you don’t believe uncle tony and kate are gonna angling for all they can get.

Ej: When I gave your mother power of attorney, she used it to screw me and take over dimera.

Johnny: Trust me. I will look out for you and sydney. And I will make sure that when you’re out you can pick right back up where you left off.

Ej: Well, you’re right about chad and the others. But I–I–

Johnny: Dad. I know. I’m asking you to have faith in me and I also know that I haven’t done much lately to inspire that faith. But bottom line, I’m what you’ve got.

[Tense music]

Ej: Okay, fine. I’ll sign them over temporarily. And only if I actually go to prison.

Johnny: Of course, of course. And I’m hoping that this entire conversation is moot, that you’ll be cleared of all the charges. But we have to be prepared for the worst.

Ej: No, you’re right.

[Sighs] Okay, I’ll do it.

Johnny: Dad, I promise… you won’t regret this.

Kate: I know what lucas did was misguided, but you can’t say anything.

Chad: Misguided? He locked up sami for three months. Now she’s travelling the world with her kidnapper. I think that deserves a word a little stronger than “misguided.” Criminal? Sociopathic?

Kate: Okay, just stop. All right, stop. You said yourself that lucas wasn’t dangerous. He loves sami. He’s trying to protect her. He would never hurt her. But if ej finds out, he’ll kill him. And then he’ll go to jail anyway.

Chad: Okay, you know what? That is really twisted logic even for you, kate.

Kate: Could you… could you just stop and hear me? You know what ej will do if he finds out. Philip is missing. Philip is probably dead. So if I lose lucas too, I’m sorry, but that’s on your head.

Chad: That’s not fair.

Kate: I’m fighting for my son’s life here.

Chad: Okay. I’ll say that I planted the evidence. And I’ll keep lucas out of it.

Kate: You’re gonna lose your job if you do that.

Chad: Maybe I should. Maybe that’s the only way I can keep myself from turning into ej. Into father.

Kate: [Sighs]

Chad: I have to do what’s right, kate.

Kate: Even if you lose everything? Woman: I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Rafe: This is insane. I didn’t plant evidence on this guy. I didn’t need to. One more conviction, he goes away for 30 years. Listen, this guy would say or do anything to get out from under this. By the way, it’s not a new story, okay? It’s been done time and time again.

Melinda: It’s funny you should say that, because he’s not the only one making this particular complaint against you. This guy says the same thing.

Rafe: What?

Melinda: These are very serious allegations, commissioner. I had no choice but to investigate.

Rafe: “Had”?

Melinda: I already forwarded the matter to internal affairs. For your sake, I hope you’re telling the truth.

[Tense music]

[Knocking on door]

Nicole: Oh, hi.

Ava: Hey.

Nicole: What are you doing here?

Ava: Well, you said you were gonna get something from the bakery, but I found out that it was closed today, so… figured you might be hungry.

Nicole: Oh, thank you. Mm-hmm.

Ava: Full disclosure, though, I did have ulterior motives. I think it’s time you and i had an honest conversation about what’s going on between you and rafe.

Johnny: I know you’re a busy man, so I’ll make sure all the papers get drawn up.

Ej: I’d better get going. Will I see you in court? It would be nice to have my son there.

Johnny: And good for the judge to see I don’t think you did it.

Ej: But you don’t have to. I understand it could upset your mother.

Johnny: Won’t be the first time, won’t be the last. I’ll see you in court.

Ej: Good.

Johnny: Hey, dad. Good luck.

Ej: Thanks. Well…

Johnny: [Chuckles] “Oh, dad, I promise you won’t regret it.” That was almost too easy. Ahh, everything is going exactly as planned.

Chanel: And what plan is that?

[Tense music]

[Elevator dings]

Allie: Hey.

Tripp: Hey, allie. I didn’t expect to see you till after work.

Allie: I know. Um… but I just wanted to know if you had a few minutes to talk.

Tripp: Yeah, yeah, sure. What’s up? I thought you were going over to see chanel.

Allie: Um, I was. But after what happened last night, I had to come see you right away. This is the sound of nature breathing.

Nicole: Ava, I– I told you a million times that rafe and i are just friends.

Ava: That’s exactly my point. You’re both friends and you’re staying away from each other and it’s not right.

Nicole: Well… we’re just trying to be sensitive to your feelings.

Ava: I know. But it’s unnecessary. I was silly to be so insecure. You know, I really do trust both of you and I just– I don’t want you to stay away from rafe on my account, okay?

Nicole: I’m not staying away from him. I’m just, you know, busy.

Ava: So busy– too busy for old friends? I mean, you and I are still friends, aren’t we?

Nicole: Of course. Yes.

Ava: Okay, good. Then it is settled. You are coming to dinner.

Nicole: Okay.

Ava: Okay. But it may just be you and me, because, ugh, poor rafe. His job, it’s–ugh. Poor guy. He never knows what may come up next.

Rafe: This doesn’t make any sense. What the hell is going on here?

Tripp: You seem pretty upset.

Allie: I am. Um… last night, chanel and I…

Tripp: Go on.

Allie: We had a really long talk. And the more she was talking to me about johnny, the more that i realized that I am so lucky to have you.

Tripp: That made you upset?

Allie: Yeah. Because, I don’t know, I feel like I don’t tell you that enough. And maybe I sometimes take you for granted.

Tripp: You–you don’t have to tell me anything. I mean– when it’s the real deal, you just know. No words necessary. Okay?

[Tense, emotional music]

Johnny: I wish you would have warned me you were coming by.

Chanel: Oh, sorry, did i displease you? I wouldn’t wanna get on your bad side.

Jonny: Look, I’m busy and we really have nothing left to talk about, so…

Chanel: I agree. So…think fast.

[Ring clinks]

Johnny: Thanks. And while you’re at it, could you leave the keys to the house?

Chanel: Oh, I’m way ahead of you. And giovanni? Go to hell.

[Dramatic music]

Johnny: Been there, done that.

[Laughs]

Chad: I’ll just spin it. I’ll tell shin that I thought ej was guilty and that I didn’t wanna let him get away with it. That I was… serving the course of justice.

Chad: Well, I–I have to… I have to take my chances. I mean… I mean, ej’s been a real son of a bitch since he got back to town, but… he’s my brother and he welcomed me into the family when he didn’t have to. So I’m sorry, but I’m gonna have to, um… I’m gonna have to tell them that he didn’t do it. I have to go to court, tell them the truth.

[Tense music]

Melinda: [Laughs] You’re here early. Nervous?

Ej: Just trying to avoid the media.

Melinda: Oh, if you wanted to avoid the media, you shouldn’t have had your wife kidnapped.

Ej: [Chuckles] I didn’T.

Melinda: Tell that to the judge. You know, I’m actually glad you decided to represent yourself. I’m actually looking forward to going toe to toe with the infamous ej dimera.

Belle: Some other time, perhaps. Today, you’ll be dealing with me.

[ Relaxing music ]

Hope: My mom and ridge are facing a challenging time, and I just don’t want anyone to try to take advantage of that.

Steffy: Hold on. Take advantage?

Hope: I am not saying that you would, but if we’re going off of track record…

Steffy: It’s like you didn’t hear a word I just said. Nobody dictates my father’s choices or my mother’S. Especially when it comes to my family.

Taylor: Okay, kids, that’s enough. I hear that you’re both very concerned about your parents and that is touching and admirable. But, but I’m standing right here. Okay, this is… this is awkward. And hope, I’m still not sure what’s going on with your mom, but if she needs any help, I’m here.

Brooke: Ridge, you need to go to the office. That appointment’s been rescheduled two times. Come on, you don’t need to babysit me.

Ridge: I just told you, I’m never leaving you again.

Brooke: I didn’t know that you meant that literally.

Ridge: Yeah, if you need me to be here, I’m going to be here.

Brooke: What I need is to figure out why I started drinking.

Ridge: We will. We’ll figure it out together. Most important thing is now you’re going back to meetings, and you’ve recommitted to your sobriety. So that’s good.

Brooke: Right. Yes. Mm-hm. And what happened on new year’s is never going to happen again. Ever.

Grace: Paris, this place is amazing.

Paris: Right?

Grace: Apparently, everyone would say the same about you. Especially eric forrester. He’s so charming and handsome.

Paris: Mom.

Grace: I’m just saying, it’s obvious he respects you and the work you do. I am so proud of you.

[ Paris giggling ]

Carter: Oh, sorry.

Paris: Oh hey, carter, this is my mom.

Carter: Yeah, uh, hello. Dr. Buckingham.

Grace: Carter. Carter walton. We finally meet.

Carter: It’s a pleasure, dr. Buckingham.

Grace: Please, call me grace. Hard to believe this is our first meeting, carter.

Carter: Well, I’ve heard a lot about you. Distinguished medical professional, admired and adored by both your daughters.

Grace: And I’ve heard a lot about you too… from both my daughters.

Carter: I hope zoe is doing well.

Grace: Yes, she’s very busy. Travelling, working, moving on with her life. And I missed paris, so I’m here in L.A.

Paris: And I love having you here. It’s been a wonderful surprise.

Carter: Yeah, paris has missed having family in town.

[ Ridge sighing ]

Ridge: I don’t want you to feel like I’m leaving you.

Brooke: Oh, gosh, no, I don’t feel like that at all. I mean, you went to a meeting with me. You helped by removing all of the alcohol from the house. You’ve been incredibly loving and supportive. I appreciate that. But really, you’ve got to go to the office.

Ridge: Yeah.

Brooke: You’ve gotta go to work. I…I’m fine. I can be on my own.

Ridge: You’re okay?

Brooke: Yes, I am.

Ridge: You know what I love? That we can say anything to each other, right? No holding back.

Hope: Thank you for offering to help, but what my mother needs right now is stability and security.

Taylor: Okay. And do you think that I’m upsetting that somehow?

Steffy: I think brooke is threatened having you back in town.

Hope: No, no, that’s not what this is about at all.

Steffy: Good, because my father is welcome here anytime. You have to remember he has two families.

Hope: Oh, okay. Well, I thought we were one big family. Isn’t that what we’ve been telling the kids? That we’re all connected? Or has that changed?

Taylor: No, hope, steffy is just explaining the complexity of the situation. Ridge is married to your mom, but we also have children together and we have grandchildren that live right here. And for the time being, so do I. So, ridge and I are going to see each other often. But, hope, I did not come back to L.A. To break up ridge’s marriage to your mother. A lot of people think dealing with copd

Paris: Mom might not be just visiting. She is thinking about relocating to los angeles.

Carter: Really?

Grace: Yes. I’m fielding some interesting offers.

Paris: Yeah, like one at university down the street.

Grace: I haven’t given an answer yet, but I am considering it.

Paris: She’s going to say yes.

Carter: Clearly, paris hopes that you do.

Paris: Yeah, I’d be thrilled.

Grace: That’s what a mother likes to hear.

Carter: I hope everything works out for you.

Grace: Yeah, me too. It would be a great opportunity. Gives me a chance to keep an eye on my girl here. Not that she needs it. My daughters do know how to take care of themselves. They are driven and resilient.

Carter: I know. It’s what made paris such a good choice for her position at the foundation.

Paris: I told you carter recommended me for it.

Carter: And everyone’s grateful that I did. Paris has really supercharged the foundation and integrated philanthropy into so many aspects of the company. We’re lucky to have her. She has a huge fan club here.

[ Steffy sighing ]

Steffy: I didn’t mean for things to get contentious with hope. I try not to do that anymore.

Taylor: Oh, I get it. You both made valid points.

Steffy: It’s just tough, you know, now that deacon’s back.

Taylor: He’s causing trouble for everyone.

Steffy: Yeah, that’s why I’m so frustrated. Hasn’t dad had enough? Brooke just expects him to be okay having deacon over at her house, and he’s constantly reminded of her indiscretion.

Taylor: I don’t think brooke wants anyone thinking about that.

Steffy: Well, she’s not doing anything to stop it. She’s practically throwing it in dad’s face. Inviting deacon over, having him over on new year’s eve, she doesn’t care about dad’s feelings.

Taylor: I understand your frustration, but your dad made his choice a long time ago.

Steffy: Yeah, he made the wrong one. He has to see that. We’re still a family, we’re a wonderful, supportive family, but dad can’t seem to tear himself away from the logans and all of their drama.

Ridge: No matter what’s going on, we can handle this. That’s going to be tough to process because you don’t know exactly what happened.

Brooke: I wanted to be with you. I was excited to spend the new year’s with you, and then when that didn’t happen… my emotion… I lost all control.

Ridge: Well, you’re back in control now. If you need me to be here, I’ll be here.

Brooke: Well, you really do have that appointment to get to.

Ridge: I don’T…

Brooke: I made a mistake. One that will never happen again. I have too much respect for you and for our life together. Thank you. Thank you for being so compassionate and making me feel safe. Supported. I love you so much.

Ridge: Love you. I know this is your battle to fight, but I’m going to be right by your side. I needed to hear that. Napoleon was born and raised to conquer.

Paris: I don’t think the goals for the company and the foundation are exclusive. Look at the hope for the future, for instance, from the very beginning, she’s wanted to make sure her brand made a difference. And I think it really–

Ridge: So, I ran into dad in the building and he said we have a special guest today.

Paris: Ah, yes. Ridge forrester, meet my mom, dr. Grace buckingham.

Ridge: Oh, doctor, a pleasure.

Grace: You too. I have to give you my sincere apologies, just like I did to eric earlier for what happened between my ex-husband and hope and your daughter. Words can’t begin to express how horrified I was at what reese did and the pure agony he’s caused your family.

Ridge: That was in the past. Um, beth is where she needs to be, and we’re trying to focus on more positive things. Like your beautiful daughter here, who I think has shown you around the building already.

Grace: Yes, it was fascinating.

Ridge: See, if we had known you were coming, we would’ve had some flowers–

Grace: Well, it was a surprise. Zende helped set it up. He is a very impressive young man and a fine designer as well.

Ridge: And very fond of your daughter.

Grace: Yes. That’s apparent.

Ridge: So, where are you staying?

Grace: At a hotel–

Paris: With me. I insist. It’s not fancy, but it’s comfortable and it’s close by and with thomas gone, I would love the extra company.

Grace: Wow. More time with my daughter, who can say no to that? Thank you, honey.

Paris: Of course. Did you leave your bag with security?

Grace: Yeah, in one of the offices.

Paris: Well, we can get it on the way out.

Grace: Okay. Well, it was wonderful to meet you all.

Ridge: See you soon.

Carter: Hopefully, we’ll see you again soon.

Paris: You can count on it.

Taylor: Your father knows his own mind.

Steffy: Well, I don’t get it. I really don’T. And I can’t accept it. Yeah, dad made a choice. But you can’t tell me that he’s happy. Really? Arguing with brooke about deacon, being forced to accept him in his life, in his home?

Taylor: Yeah.

Steffy: Come on.

Taylor: No, I know your father is not happy about that.

Steffy: No, he’s not. And maybe I wouldn’t have an issue with it if it was just that. But dad always made concessions to brooke and the logans.

Taylor: Yeah, but he doesn’t see it that way.

Steffy: Well, you know, it’s weird. It just, it just goes against everything I was brought up to believe. Being a kind human, being, being a good person. It’s like upside down world.

Taylor: It’s all true. It’s all good.

Steffy: Then why isn’t dad with you? You’re a good person. You’re a doctor, you spent your life taking care of others.

Taylor: Well, sure, but honey, those things come with their own reward, it doesn’T…

Steffy: But it doesn’t make a difference to dad. That’s it. I’m co-ceo forrester creations. The company has never been more successful. You have thomas creating amazing designs, carrying on the forrester legacy. Dad should be proud of that, but it’s like he’s not. He’s just… too busy with them. The logans. Why?

Brooke: I don’t need looking after, but thank you.

Hope: Well, you’re welcome. So where was ridge heading off to?

Brooke: The office. And I’m glad he went. Because he doesn’t have to stay here with me. And neither do you, honey.

Hope: Well, I’m here because I want to be, and I know that you would do the same for me.

Brooke: I don’t mean to sound ungrateful. I really do appreciate all of your support. Means a lot to me.

Hope: I’m just happy that you’re accepting it and that you’re being open and honest about what you’re going through. And I just want you to know that it is all right to lean on us for support. I mean, we’re here if you need it.

Brooke: Okay, thank you, I will.

Hope: I do have one question, though, and… I-I don’t want it to upset you, but… I need to know.

Brooke: What is it?

Hope: It’s about my dad.

Hope: There’s more going on than I know, isn’t there?

Brooke: I don’t know what you mean.

Hope: You say that you want deacon out of your life, fine. But what I don’t understand is the complete 180, and I am not saying this, mom, to put you on the spot or to make you feel uncomfortable, especially now. But I haven’t heard from my dad since new year’s eve, and now you’re saying that you don’t even want to talk about him.

Brooke: Honey. I need to move forward. It’s not healthy for me to look back.

Hope: Mom. Did you say something to him? Did you tell deacon to stay away?

Brooke: Oh my god. We kissed. You can’t be here anymore. You can’t come here, deacon.

Deacon: What?

Brooke: That’s ridge. He’s pulling in. We gotta– you gotta get out of here. You gotta go. You can’t come back, deacon. Ever!

Hope: Or is this because you drank on new year’s eve? Wait a second, are you… are you blaming dad for you relapsing that night? Because he was gone before that happened, right? I mean, mom, you… you know, you didn’t have to be alone. You could have… you could have called me and I would have gladly been here to support you. I should have been here to–

Brooke: Honey, what happened that night had nothing to do with you.

Hope: I know, it feels that way. It feels like it all began to unravel the minute I invited dad back into our lives, and now he’s gone once again and I haven’t heard from him and I don’t know why. So, mom, please, if… if something happened between you and dad, could you just tell me? Because I really need to know.

Taylor: Brooke is obviously going through something right now, and that’s going to be a priority for your father, but… that doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you or appreciate our family.

Steffy: But brooke and the logans always come first.

Taylor: Yeah, well, he is worried about brooke and hope for good reason. Hope was really stressed about her mom.

Steffy: I don’t want anything bad to happen to brooke. But if she’s in trouble, odds are she brought it on herself.

Taylor: Yeah. Hope’s reaction makes me think it’s something serious.

Steffy: Well, you know what that means, dad’s going to get caught up in all of the drama. I get that he cares about brooke, but it’s like his own happiness doesn’t matter.

Taylor: Honey, I… your father has been happy.

Steffy: No, he’s not. He cannot be happy with this whole deacon situation. It is crazy. It’s absurd. Dad has like no support over there. That’s why I’m so furious. I get that hope needs her father. But hey! I need my dad too. And so does thomas.

Taylor: I know, sweetie, I’m so sorry, and I… I hate that our family was torn apart all those years ago. But, it was also circumstance, bad luck.

Steffy: No, not all of it. It’s not fair. I know you said that you’re staying here for good and… mom, I really hope you mean it. Because I need you. I do. Thomas needs you too. And I know dad does. I really do. Yes, the people you worked with, they counted on you, but that wasn’t the only reason you stayed away. Now that you’re back, I mean, you see what’s happening. This is crazy. And I’m not asking you to compete for a man, that is the last thing I want. Do not want that. But I want you to fight. Fight for your family. And I wouldn’t be saying this if I didn’t think you cared about dad, but mom, come on, it is obvious you love him. It is so obvious. And deep down, I know dad loves you too. So, like whatever is going on over at brooke’s, maybe it’s about deacon. Or maybe it’s some other scandal. If dad’s in harm’s way, we need to get him out of there for his sake. He needs to be with his family. He needs to be with you, me, thomas. Not the logans. Dad needs to be with the forresters.

TV Interview!

Fiona Rene of "I Know What You Did Last Summer" on Amazon Prime

Interview with Fiona Rene of “I Know What You Did Last Summer” on Amazon Prime by Thane 12/27/22

I was excited to ask Fiona about the technological aspects of her work as technology interests me.

Thane: Are you pleased with how I Know What You Did Last Summer turned out?

Fiona: Yes, I am. I don’t know if you know this, but we didn’t know who the killer was while we were shooting until the very end. So, I myself was very surprised by the whole ordeal.

Thane: Were there any scenes that were challenging to play?

Fiona: You know, it’s always interesting doing intimate scenes with someone that you have just met. So, obviously, that was a little, you know, intense. And I think one of my favorite scenes that we shot was when I had to go into the cave, because I had to actually squeeze through a whole bunch of little crevices, and it really it felt very realistic. That was probably the most intense, those two.

Thane: Overall, what has been your favorite role to play and why?

Fiona: Oh, what a good question. I don’t know. I don’t know if you have seen this, but I played a character named Sarah Bernhardt in a video game for PS4 and virtual reality called The Invisible Hours, and my character is French, and it took place in like the early 1900s. So yeah, that was probably my favorite thus far, but I love playing cops, don’t get me wrong.

Thane: What drove you to get into acting?

Fiona: I’ve been doing it ever since I was a kid, and I moved around a lot when I was younger. Every year we moved, so it was kind of difficult to make friends, and acting was always the thing that was consistent in my life that made me feel like I could have fun and play without being super nervous or scared all the time. So, it really made me feel comfortable, and that’s the best feeling in the world, right? Whenever you actually feel like you’re accepted, and you’re comfortable, and now I could never stop, ever.

Thane: How do you feel about the current state of diversity in Hollywood?

Fiona: It’s getting better. It’s consistently getting better, and there’s so much more room to grow. I really like that people of color are being seen for roles that don’t put them in boxes as much as they used to, but we still have so much more work to do. And I also feel very proud, because I’ll be it, we’re not perfect, and Hollywood has so much to learn still, but I feel like we are coming from a small town in Oklahoma where the diversity is very rare, and you don’t have a lot of different cultures there. The Midwest, it is predominantly white, so I think we’re making moves, and I think that we’re doing it in a really good job, but I think that it’s slow, but it’s supposed to be slow, because if we went any faster, it’s like we would be missing steps. Great question.

Thane: Is there any actor and/or director who you want to work with?

Fiona: Mike Flanagan…Burton Bernie. In the Marvel world, I think that they could really use me. Burton, Bernie and Mike Flanagan, I love horror. I’m such a big horror fan. So, I Know What You Did Last Summer was super fun, but I wouldn’t mind getting into a little bit more deeper psychological horror.

Thane: Are you inspired by any actors or actresses?

Fiona: Oh gosh. Yes. I think, you know, this might be a little on the nose, but JLaw, Jennifer Lawrence, when she came out, and she made such big waves, it really inspired me to know that I can kind of just be myself: sarcastic, I don’t have to be in the best mood all the time, I don’t have to put on a face all the time, I can be curvy, like, there’s lots of lots of inspiration that I got from her. And also, maybe not named actors, but actors that are working in improv. I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of like Groundlings and UCB, but they’re like improvisational theater groups that are kind of around LA, and there are a lot of people that every day, they’re grinding. They’re going to the theater; they’re playing games. They’re working with other actors. That’s the most inspiring people that aren’t getting paid thousands of dollars yet, but are still just grinding, because they love their craft. That’s probably the most inspirational, aside from so many amazing actors and names. [Margaret Qualley from] the show Maid. I don’t know if you’ve seen Maid. It’s about a girl who is very poor. She goes through domestic violence. The actress who played that, oh, blew me off my feet. But yeah, a lot of the time I’m inspired not by named actors, but by actors that I meet, that are just grinding every day.

Thane: As an acting coach, does it bother you if you see actors on set that are not doing a great job with their acting?

Fiona: That’s a hard question, because define “what is doing a great job?” I am bothered as an acting coach; I am bothered when I see actors take it so seriously that they forget to play, especially, you know, when you go method, and whenever you get into the role so much that you’re so focused that you’re no longer part of the community on set, but you’re just in your own zone. I think that’s the hardest, and that’s when I get the most disappointed, because they could be doing a great job. They can be acting the character off the wall, but if they’re making it uncomfortable, difficult, and not fun for all the people that they’re working with, that’s when I get upset, or disappointed, you may say, because it really, our job is to not only put on a good performance for the audience, but also to create a good energy in the space that we’re working. I hope I answered your question.

Thane: Tell us about your workshop method for being acting in immersive environments.

Fiona: Okay, I get really excited talking about this. There’re lots of different mediums nowadays, right? Video games, virtual reality, TV, RPGs, movies, so many different kinds of ways to experience storytelling, that it’s really interesting for the actor, especially whenever you’re just starting, because you can get a job doing voiceover. You can get a job doing virtual reality, augmented reality, TV, and there are lots of technical difficulties and differences between these mediums, but there’s not a lot of difference between character preparation, and a lot of actors can get thrown off with the technical differences that they let those technicalities affect their character performance. So, Method for Being is really about helping you define your character, helping you define your role, what those differences are, and how to put those into any medium, no matter the technical difference. So, whether you’re on stage in front of fifty thousand people, you’re playing the same authentic character as you would be if you got cast as the same thing, but in a TV show or video game.

Thane: You have experience with virtual reality, which is great, because I am a nerd. Do you think there’s potential for independent producers to create their own productions utilizing virtual reality technology?

Fiona: Yes, 100% I mean, especially someone who’s differently abled, I think that there is a platform there where you can really have a voice, for sure. The one thing about VR is that it’s such complicated storytelling, because there’s such an open world; it’s not so linear, and there’s pros and cons to that, right? Pros being, there’re not a lot of people; not everyone in Hollywood knows how to tell a nonlinear story. So if you really can understand how that world works, then you really got a one up. The cons to that is that, because there are not many people in Hollywood that understand nonlinear storytelling, it takes a little bit more effort to get people to listen, but I think right now is the time for independent producers and independent storytellers that don’t maybe have as much experience as your Joe Schmo on TV making series every day to pump their own content. There’s so much more space for new content. So, yes.

Thane: What are the advantages of using AR/VR as opposed to traditional 2-D Productions?

Fiona: Well, one, it’s 2-D on television screens in movies. There’s a fourth wall, and the audience is on the sidelines watching. Whenever we play in VR and AR, the audience now becomes a player in the story. The audience now has agency; the audience now has the ability to change things up. I don’t know if you know about We Are OFK, the game that I’m in that’s coming out 2022. It is a narrative video game, but just like in the 90s, when you play or you read a choose your own adventure novel, there’s so much more ability for the audience to affect how the story changes. And it’s not as easy to do that on a 2-D platform, because you still feel separated with the screen, but when you are in VR, and AR, when you turn your head and you look to that side of the room, you see that side of the room. You become the filmmaker yourself. So, there’s so much more agency for the audience, that it really becomes an interactive experience, as opposed to something that you’re just watching. You’re now a part of the story; you have choice. That’s so exciting to me, because I think storytelling in general is so collaborative, that whenever not only are you you’re collaborating with your fellow artists, but now you’re collaborating with your audience, that’s just that’s just so dope to me.

Thane: As an actor and/or producer, do you have to think about different things when you do productions in newer technologies? What are the main things?

Fiona: That was a complicated question. I almost want you to ask it again, because you said actor or producer. And, you know, the producer’s job is to really get hands on, and there’s a huge, a huge difference between what a producer would be doing in let’s say, a VR production, as opposed to what a producer would be doing in a TV production, lots of differences, the way things are handled. I mean, there’re different kinds of producers as well, the producer that makes sure everyone’s doing their job on set versus the producer that is budgeting out the money and making sure money goes to different places. A virtual production would have different jobs that a producer would have to hire for, as opposed to a 2-D production, but I think – and that’s where Method for Being comes in. For the actor, there shouldn’t be that much of a difference. The actor should know what their “moment before” is. The actor should know how to focus and ground themselves so they are able to become the character that they need to become. The actor should know who they’re talking to. What’s the relationship to the person they’re talking to, and where are they? Those things no matter whether you’re doing a green screen mocap suit or you’re out in the middle of the wilderness, those should be the same. So, to answer your question, yes and no.

Thane: Is there anything else that you want to share with the TVMEG.COM audience?

Fiona: Let’s see. Make sure to check out I Know What You Did Last Summer and We Are OFK on PS4 and PS5, 2022. You’ll see me in – I’m about to shoot a couple of episodes of a few other shows at the top of the year, so I should have some new content coming out soon. And thank you just so much for spending time with me talking about this stuff. I’m a geek too. So, I’m with you. I could talk about interactive storytelling all day long.

Nick: Hey, sharon, I got your message. You here?Hell

Surprise!

[ Noisemaker blows ]

[ Laughter ]

Sharon: Happy birthday!

[ Cheering ]

Nick: Okay.

[ Laughter ]

Amanda: Okay. You hate it. The movie, it’s convoluted.

Devon: No, it’s — no, it’s fine.

Amanda: Well, then what’s wrong? Are you thinking about the baby?

Devon: No, just — no. I’m thinking about work a little bit, just ’cause I’ve been neglecting hamilton-winters lately.

Amanda: No, no, not neglecting. You’ve had a lot on your mind, and it’s understandable. You have a really big decision to make about dominic.

Devon: Yeah, I know that. But it’s still the company that I built with neil. I can’t just let it fall apart. Just — just got to get my head together, that’s all.

Amanda: Yeah, I know. I understand all of that, and i hear everything you’re saying. But I can’t help thinking that it’s still about dom.

Chance: What’s that smile for?

Abby: I was just listening to you read dom a bedtime story. “Chugga choo choo” — mm, really put some feeling into it. It was adorable. I hope you don’t mind that I was listening. I didn’t mean to intrude.

Chance: No, it’s fine. It’s probably better that way, right? I have some back-up.

Abby: No, no, it wasn’t like that.

Chance: It’s cool. Don’t worry about it. I’m gonna go make some tea, okay? I’ll be right back.

[ Cheering ]

Nick: Okay, you guys got me. I was not expecting this.

Noah: Well, we wanted to do something for your birthday on your birthday, but you took off to milan, so we decided to do it now.

Mariah: And we couldn’t let summer be the only one to celebrate you.

Sharon: And rey had to work tonight, but he says the next round of beers is on him.

Nick: Well, I’m touched that you all went to this trouble.

Faith: That’s what family’s for.

Nick: Thanks, kiddo. Moses, tessa, my kids are obligated to be here, you know, but you two chose to be here, and that means a lot.

Tessa: Oh, wouldn’t miss it.

Moses: Yeah, excited to be here. And devon’s passing on his best wishes, along with some light ribbing.

Nick: Oh, no, no, no. This is a birthday party, not a roast.

Well…

Faith: Actually…

Nick: What?

Faith: A roast sounds like a lot more fun, doesn’t it? Otherwise, the only jokes told here tonight will be your lame dad ones, and what kind of party is that?

Tessa: It’s hard to argue with that logic.

Mariah: Yeah.

Nick: Yeah, are you guys all ganging up on me? And you — you set me up for this?

Sharon: I was only in charge of the venue and the menu.

[ Laughter ]

Nick: Right. I just remembered I’ve got this very important root canal I got to —

Mariah: Oh, hey, hey.

Faith: Nice try, nice try.

Mariah: No, no, no. Have a seat, birthday boy.

Nick: [ Sighs ] And a crown.

Noah: So pretty.

Nick: Thank you.

[ Blows noisemaker ]

[ Laughter ] Nyquil severe gives you powerful relief

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Nick: Yeah, so I’m gonna be later than I thought. Sharon and my kids ambushed me with a surprise birthday party. I’m not sure what I’ve signed up for, so…

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, thank you, monique. That’s very sweet of you. I’ll see you when I get home, and just give christian a hug for me. Okay, thank you. Well, I’m glad christian’s gonna be sleeping through this one. You know, he’s still at the age where he thinks his dad can do no wrong, and I plan on keeping him there for as long as possible.

Sharon: Well, seems like that strategy’s working because all we heard about was how great dad is the whole time he was staying with us.

Nick: I’m sure. And you agreed with everything he said, right?

Sharon: Oh, naturally.

Nick: [ Inhales sharply ] I don’t know, I don’t like the looks of that. I mean, my kids say it’s gonna be a roast.

Tessa: Mm-hmm.

Nick: I don’t have anything to worry about, right?

Moses: Well, I’m sworn to secrecy.

Tessa: Yeah, I’ll just say i wouldn’t get too comfortable. I’d be afraid.

Moses: Very afraid.

Abby: Thank you.

Chance: Too hot?

Abby: No, no, it’s perfect. Thank you. Actually, can we talk about before? I know it’s been a long day, but I just — I don’t want you to think that I was checking up on you or that I don’t think that you’re capable of reading our son a bedtime story.

Chance: The story I can do, it’s — it’s the other stuff.

Abby: [ Scoffs ] You do everything a father does. You love and take care of our son. That is a father, and that is everything.

Chance: But is it enough?

Abby: Chance, look, I — i know that feeling of not feeling like you’re enough. I couldn’t carry our son, so we had to get a surrogate. I couldn’t keep him and mariah out of danger. I couldn’t even nurse him after he was born. So, yes, I understand that need to — to want, to actually need to do more.

Chance: But you did everything you could, abby.

Abby: But, at the time, it ached. Even before dominic was born, i wanted to give him the whole world. And I always will. But what I’ve learned is that parenting is a journey. There’s no endpoint. You just got to keep going, both of you — the parent and the child. And there’s no one right way to do things that somehow no one told you about. Your way is the right way because you love him.

Chance: [ Sighs ] You must be so worn out, looking after your son and your husband.

Abby: Hey. I can honestly say that you and dominic are the greatest gifts of my life.

Chance: But you shouldn’t have to deal with my problems.

Abby: Why? You have to deal with mine. Isn’t that what marriage is all about? Doing life together as a team? Look, I am gonna go take a shower. But I can turn it into a bubble bath for two if you’d like to join.

Chance: [ Chuckles ]

[ Exhales sharply ] How about a rain check?

Abby: Always.

Chance: [ Sighs ]

Noah: Alright, take a seat, old man.

Nick: Oh, man.

Faith: Don’t stress, dad. We all came here tonight to celebrate you because we all love you and think you’re the best dad in the whole world. Not to say you can’t be overprotective at times. I feel sorry for anyone who’s ever hurt my feelings, teased me, or looked at me weird. We all remember danny obermeyer.

Moses: Wait, who’s he? Like, an ex-boyfriend or something?

Faith: He was a second-grader that tripped me during a soccer game. He got the “newman death glare,” and I don’t think he’s ever been the same.

Moses: Wait, what’s the “newman death glare”?

Nick: It’S…nothing. They’re exaggerating. It’s just a minor look of disapproval. You’ve never seen it. Don’t worry about it.

Noah: Yeah, you better hope you never do.

Mariah: I mean, maybe you should give him a taste, just in case he ever steps out of bounds.

Nick: Nah, it’s not gonna be necessary.

Tessa: I mean, I’d like to see it.

Mariah: Come on.

Tessa: It’s like you’re looking through me.

[ Laughter ]

Moses: That is legit terrifying.

[ Laughter ]

Sharon: Well, that’s the point. You know, there was this one year where a teenager stole noah’s bucket of halloween candy.

Noah: Oh, yeah, and then dad, he chased him down for like three blocks and dragged him back by the scruff of his neck and made him apologize.

Nick: I think we all learned a very valuable lesson that day.

Tessa: Don’t mess with your kid?

Nick: You got it.

[ Laughter ]

Faith: You may go overboard sometimes, but we all know it’s because you’d do anything for the people that you care about. And we’re all lucky to have you looking out for us. I love you, dad.

Nick: I love you.

Faith: Mm.

Mariah: Well, well, that was very sweet and all. But now it’s my turn, and I’m not gonna be that easy on you.

[ All groan ] Yo you ready?

Mariah: Alright, everybody, hold onto your seats because we are about to take a dive into nick newman’s love life.

Sharon: No!

Mariah: Yeah.

Sharon: Do we have to go there?

Mariah: We do.

Nick: Really? I mean, I guess it’s fair game. A lot to skewer me about, but i don’t have a love life right now, so [Blows noisemaker]

Mariah: Oh, well, we all know that that’s not gonna last very long.

Sharon: [ Laughs ]

Mariah: Because he’s a hopeless romantic.

Tessa: Oh, yeah, well, look who’s talking.

Mariah: I will admit that, up until recently, I was a hardened cynic, and given noah’s recent attitude, I mean, I guess it runs in the family, so maybe that’s what you need, though. You need two world-weary, jaded spirits to, I don’t know, screen your future dates. It’s not a bad idea.

Nick: No, no, that’s a hard pass. Sorry.

Noah: Come on. What, you don’t trust us?

Nick: I am not gonna be dating for a while.

Faith: Yeah.

Mariah: Oh, sure.

Nick: I’m serious. Not happening.

Mariah: Well, there’s nothing wrong with being in love with love. It’s because you have such a wide, open heart. You know, it’s one of the reasons why you were able to accept cassie and me into your family, so there are no complaints here. Happy birthday, nick.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Thank you. Hug it out?

Mariah: Yeah.

Nick: Alright.

[ Laughter ]

Noah: Okay, okay, my turn. Well, I’m glad that I can be back in town to watch my dad grow old — er, older.

Mariah: Wow!

Nick: Careful. I mean, careful. I’m pretty sure I could still beat you in basketball.

Nick: Oh, I’m sure that you could, but that’s just ’cause i haven’t played in like, what, 10 years.

[ Laughter ] No, but that’s what I love about you. You know, you were always at all my games, cheering me on when i was a kid. And as my interests grew into areas that were way out of your expertise, you were with me every step of the way. All the photography shows, art installations. I know I wasn’t the only one that was receiving that kind of encouragement. You did the same for summer when she found her love for fashion.

Faith: You started listening to tigirlily when you found out I liked them.

Nick: I genuinely like their music.

Faith: Yeah, I know that because I can hear you singing them in the shower, which is almost enough to make me stop liking them.

[ Laughter ]

Noah: Our dad is proof that no father can be too involved in his children’s lives.

Nick: Does that mean you’re gonna accept my job offer?

Sharon: What job offer? You want to hire noah?

[ Jazz music playing ]

[ Baby crying ]

Devon: Amanda, do you hear that? Amanda?

[ Music stops ] Hello? Is that dominic? Dom!

[ Baby crying ] Dominic! I got you. Hang on. Daddy’s coming.

Amanda: Devon? Hey, devon. Hey. You okay? I think you were having a bad dream.

Devon: It was awful.

Mariah: Uh, does anybody want to help me with the birthday cake?

Faith: Yep.

Moses: Yeah, right behind you.

Sharon: So, nick.

Nick: Yes, I offered a job working with me at new hope.

Sharon: Oh. Is that what you meant when you said you were hoping to offer him some kind of stability? Is he gonna be doing design work for you?

Nick: No, it’s something completely different. I actually want him to run the entire organization with me. I’m really hoping to expand. Now, I know it’s a big shift, you know, working at new hope, from, like, doing art installations in london museums, but I think noah’s looking for something that will give him some meaning in life, and that’s certainly what new hope has done for me. He’s got a great head on his shoulders, real big heart. Plus, I think this could get him some healing from whatever it is that happened to him while he was away.

Sharon: But he hasn’t given you an answer yet?

Nick: No, not yet. I know he still has adam’s job offer that he’s taking in consideration, you know, the one that you were pushing him to accept.

Sharon: I didn’t push him to accept it. I just asked him not to rule it out solely because it was coming from adam. I, of course, want our son to do whatever’s best for him, and selfishly, whatever keeps him in town.

Nick: Same. This gives him two great options, you know, to choose from. But hopefully, he does decide to stay in genoa city for a very long time.

Tessa: Well, tonight’s so fun. Nick seems to be having a great time.

Noah: Yeah.

Tessa: And he seems to be so happy to have you back.

Noah: Yeah, I’m not gonna lie, it’s nice to be surrounded by the family again. Speaking of which, how are the baby plans coming along?

Tessa: Well, I mean, we just started. We have been looking into adoption.

Noah: That’s amazing. Really, I mean, that’s gonna be one really lucky kid — or kids. You know, who knows?

Tessa: Well, let’s take it one step at a time, but I’m excited.

Noah: Congratulations.

Tessa: Thank you. And just for the record, nick isn’t the only one that’s glad to have you back. It’s really nice having my friend so close by.

Happy birthday to you

happy birthday to you

happy birthday, dear nick

happy birthday to you

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Thank you.

[ Laughter ]

Devon: [ Sighs ] It was dominic.

Amanda: What happened?

Devon: He was crying. He was — he was — he kept crying and crying, and I was looking for him. And I couldn’t find him. He was — he needed me, and i wasn’t there for him.

Amanda: Doesn’t go away. When you were little and you couldn’t count on your mom.

Devon: No. This is a different thing.

Amanda: Babe.

Devon: What?

Amanda: You were there. You were that child that someone couldn’t get to for whatever reason. You needed a parent, and they weren’t there. Trust me, I know because that’s my story, too. And I know that you probably promised yourself a million times to be better, to be different, that your child would never feel alone or afraid.

Devon: Yeah. But I don’t have a child, according to the world. So…

Amanda: Well, your heart says otherwise. You have so much love and kindness inside of you, and you share that with everyone around you. You did not even hesitate to help abby and chance build a family, and that was just the love that you have for a friend. Now you love that baby. Of course you want to protect him.

Devon: What if he’s not mine to protect, and that’s why i couldn’t find him in my dream? ‘Cause I’m not meant to.

Amanda: Is that how you really feel? Better skin from your body wash?

“The young and the restless” will continue.

Noah: That is a lot of candles.

Faith: Yeah, is it getting hot in here?

Tessa: [ Laughs ]

Mariah: I mean, I think we should have a fire extinguisher just in case.

Tessa: Oh, she’s kidding, she’s kidding.

Nick: Okay, does anybody have anything else they would like to say?

Moses: Nope. I don’t want any part of the “newman death glare.”

Nick: No, you don’T.

[ Laughter ]

Sharon: Yeah, let’s lay off the old guy.

Nick: You too? You traitor.

Sharon: Sorry.

[ Laughter ]

Mariah: Alright, well, do the honors.

Nick: [ Blowing ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Faith: What’d you wish for?

Nick: Uh…I got to keep that to myself.

Mariah: Oh, come on, you can tell us. I mean, the roast portion of the evening is over. I swear.

Nick: I have three wishes — cake, champagne, and presents.

Mariah: Uh…

Nick: Really, no presents?

Sharon: Oh, of course there are presents. Just sit down, have some cake. We’ll bring them out to you.

Mariah: We got you.

[ Laughter ]

Chance: [ Sighs ]

[ Explosion ]

[ Rattling, clanging ]

[ Rumbling ]

Abby: Oh, shh, shh, shh. It’s okay, it’s okay. Mommy’s got you. Ohh, I’m sorry I didn’t hear you. Mommy was in the shower. Shh, yeah, and daddy probably fell asleep, so he didn’t hear you either. But it’s okay ’cause mommy is here right now. Yes, let’s just snuggle for a little bit, and then off to sleepy time. My little baby. Shh, shh, shh, shh. Oh.

Amanda: Did you mean what you said? Do you really want to take a step back from dom?

Devon: I don’t know. I don’t know what I’m thinking these days, ’cause, like, I’ll — I feel like I’m doing what’s best sometimes, and then I feel like I’m just doing what’s best for me. Nobody else. ‘Cause I have this natural instinct to look after dominic, and I think about him and i worry, and…I’m dreaming about him now. And… I don’t know, I just… I know that chance needs time so he can — he can get his head right and focus on being a dad, but then I don’t even want to just, like, fill in until he’s ready for that, I want to be there all the time for the rest of my life. And I don’t know if that’s selfish to feel like that.

[ Sighs ]

Amanda: No. No. Absolutely not. Listen, I know that I have my own issues wrapped up in this, but it is not selfish to want to give that child all of the love in the world. Every child deserves to be loved and protected. They deserve someone who wants to be there, someone who dreams about them. There’s nothing wrong with that. Dru and neil, they gave you that. You felt that love, so now you want to pass that on, and that love, that is — it’s the most important thing in the world. So I’m not gonna let you feel like there is something wrong with that. Okay?

Nick: Are you kidding me? Courtside tickets to the bucks.

Sharon: Wow.

Nick: These are impossible to get and very expensive. How’d you pull this off?

Mariah: Well, it definitely helps having a famous pop star for a girlfriend. We can pull a few strings.

Nick: I am blown away.

Mariah: You’re welcome.

[ Chuckles ]

Nick: Thank you.

Mariah: Top that.

Noah: Geez, I don’t know if i can.

[ Laughter ] But, uh, here you go, dad.

Nick: Alright. Ah, wine. And you went with the personal touch.

Noah: I did, actually. Yeah, I designed a bespoke label in honor of the underground.

Nick: This is super cool, son. Thank you.

Noah: Happy birthday.

Moses: Well, here’s a little something.

Faith: Oh.

Nick: Alright.

Moses: Devon helped me pick it out.

Nick: Okay.

Moses: It used to be our dad’s favorite. It’s retro — acid jazz from the ’90s.

Nick: Did you hear that? The ’90s are retro.

Sharon: As if.

[ Laughter ]

Nick: Thank you, moses. I love it.

Moses: You’re welcome.

Faith: Here you go.

Nick: Alright. I am crushing it in presents right now.

[ Laughter ]

Faith: It’s a collection of photos of the both of us.

Nick: Really? Faith, this is great. Thank you.

Faith: Oh, that’s not all. There’s also a book of dad jokes in case you’re ready for some fresh material. God knows the rest of us are.

Mariah: Absolutely.

Nick: Okay, point taken. Point taken.

Sharon: Here is a basket of your favorite muffins.

Nick: Okay. Look at all these delicious items, and with cake. I mean, you trying to fatten me up for the kill?

[ Laughter ]

Mariah: Is that an option?

Sharon: Okay, you two. And there is one last gift that christian helped me pick out. Speaking of the ’90s…

Nick: Oh, boy. Oh, man! This reminds me of my favorite shirt.

Sharon: It might actually be your favorite old shirt because I found it in a vintage shop.

Nick: Do you remember how crushed I was when I lost this?

Sharon: You talked about it for weeks.

Nick: More like months.

Sharon: So, when I saw that in the store, I just had to get it for you. It brought back some nice memories for me, and I thought it would for you, too.

Nick: I’m gonna wear it tomorrow. Put on some of my old jeans. Grunge was everything in the ’90s, you guys.

Faith: It’s back in style, dad.

Nick: Wow.

[ Laughter ] Well, thank you. They’re all perfect.

Sharon: Glad you like them. Plaque psoriasis, the burning, itching.

Nick: Alright. I just want to thank you all for a very special night. Yeah, I’m getting to the age where I don’t really want to be counting the years that I have.

[ Laughter ] But thank you for reminding me of how old I really am.

Noah: Happy to be of service.

Mariah: Not a problem.

Nick: It’s also nice to be reminded of how amazing my kids are and my friends. And I’ve got it really good.

Faith: Uh-oh, you’re getting sappy with your advanced age.

Moses: Yeah, you gonna cry, old man? Uh-oh, what have I done?

Faith: He’s kidding, I think.

[ Laughter ]

Moses: Whew!

Tessa: Well, age is just a number, but you know what makes everyone feel young? Some retro music. That’s what this party needs.

Sharon: Oh, great idea. Yeah.

Mariah: Alright, what do you got?

Tessa: Alright.

Sharon: Oh, I like that.

Mariah: Oh.

Sharon: Okay. Mm-hmm.

Mariah: Get on board.

Tessa: Yeah?

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Abby: Did you fall asleep?

Chance: Oh, yeah, I, um… I just got a little lost in my head, dozed off.

Abby: That’s what I figured. Well, dom woke up. I think he wanted the sequel to chugga choo’s story.

[ Chuckles ] But I put him back to sleep. We should get some rest, too. Coming up?

Chance: Yeah, can we just sit for, like, a second?

Abby: Yeah.

Mariah: “Why do fathers take an extra pair of socks when they go golfing? In case they get a hole in one.”

Nick: Boom.

Mariah: [ Laughs ]

Faith: I’m starting to think the dad joke book was a bad idea.

Mariah: Okay, just one more, one more. Okay. Um…let’s see. Ah. “What do you call a fish wearing a bow tie? So’fish’ticated.”

Faith: Please make it stop.

[ Laughter ]

Nick: No, more, more.

Faith: Please. Oh, god.

Mariah: No.

Nick: Hey, I don’t mean to put you on the spot, but have you given any thought to working with me at new hope?

Noah: I’m really impressed you guys have done over at new hope — I really am — but accepting your offer would mean backing out of newman media, and I don’t think grandpa and adam would be too stoked about that.

Nick: I think they might understand it more than you think, especially your grandpa. He is really big on the father-son bonding thing. He might really appreciate it if we were working together as a team.

Noah: Look, I’m not saying no, okay? But can you just give me a little bit more time to consider the offer?

Faith: Oh, my gosh, you and tessa are having a baby?!

Mariah: Um, well, we’re very early on in the adoption process and getting all the information. You know, it’s — it’s probably gonna be a long while off, so…

Tessa: Well, I thought we agreed that today was just about nick.

Mariah: I know, I know we did, but faith started talking about making a hat of the extra bows and ribbons, and that got us on the baby shower track, and then about babies, and…it just slipped out. I’m sorry. It was supposed to be about you, nick. I apologize.

Nick: Do not apologize for that. I mean, the family getting bigger is, like, the best news ever.

Faith: I will babysit whenever you want.

Moses: Yeah, and I can help, too. I’ve had a lot of practice with dominic.

Mariah: Oh, wow. Well, you know, of course we would love you to, if you’re not in college by then.

[ Laughter ]

Faith: Wait, you knew the whole time, mom?

Sharon: I’ve only known for a short while, and it wasn’t my secret to tell. I’m very happy for both of them, though. The world is full of make or break moments.

Faith: So what exactly did you tell your mom about me when you went home for the holidays?

Moses: All good things.

Sharon: Here’s some cake for you to bring home to amanda and devon.

Moses: Thanks. And thank you for including me in the party tonight.

Sharon: Of course, yeah. We’re happy to have you.

Moses: Bye.

Sharon: Bye.

Mariah: So how was summer enjoying married life and parenthood?

Nick: She’s doing great. I’m so proud of the way she’s handled all these changes in her life. I mean, she is killing it over there, and little harrison has absolutely stolen her heart.

Mariah: Well, I completely understand that.

Tessa: Well, we are definitely going to have a lot more time to prepare than summer did for parenthood, because, wow, there is just so much to do just in the first stages of the adoption process. We’re gonna have to do home interviews and so much paperwork.

Nick: Well, I’m sure it’s all gonna work out.

Tessa: Yeah, definitely.

Mariah: No doubt.

Sharon: Hey, you leaving?

Noah: Yeah, unless you need me to hang back and clean.

Sharon: No, I think I can handle it myself, and, you know, besides, you’re looking a little tired.

Noah: Yeah, worn out from all the dancing.

Sharon: Hmm.

Mariah: Oh, my god, that’s hysterical.

Noah: Good night, mom.

Sharon: Good night.

Nick: You two.

[ Laughter ] Too much.

[ Laughter ]

Mariah: Too much of something, I’ll tell you.

Abby: Oh, I have got to get under the covers. Do you want to go check on dom one more time before we go to bed?

Chance: I’d love that.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: I don’t want to make any decisions tonight. I’m too tired. And I think I understand what that dream was about — it’s just the fear that all parents have. But I’m not gonna make life changes based on a dream.

Amanda: Okay. You do what you need to do. You take your time. I’m gonna head out, though, okay? So if you want to talk of if you just want to sleep, I’ll be up there waiting, okay?

Devon: Okay.

Amanda: Night.

Devon: [ Sighs ]

Sharon: Good night, girls. Love you.

Tessa: Good night.

Mariah: We’ll be upstairs if you need anything, okay?

Nick: Thank you again for the tickets and the good-natured insults.

Mariah: Anytime. Love you, mom.

Tessa: Bye.

Mariah: See ya.

Nick: Good night.

Sharon: So, good party?

Nick: It was perfect.

Sharon: Hey, wait a minute. You are the guest of honor. There’s no way you’re gonna help clean up.

Nick: Well, it’s my party, i can clean up if I want to.

Sharon: Oh. [ Laughs ] Dad jokes. I think you’ve hit your quota for the night.

Nick: Yeah, thanks to faith, I have an unlimited supply.

Sharon: Oh. Did you see her with moses? The two of them are so smitten with each other.

Nick: They’re pretty adorable, and it was awesome to see mariah and tessa in such a great place, too.

Sharon: Yeah. You know, when they first told me they had plans to adopt, i was a little bit worried. I know there’s so many possibilities for delays and problems, and you hear all these stories about people having their hopes dashed. And mariah’s been so fragile, but, you know, I think that she’s getting stronger every day. Did you notice that she barely reacted when moses brought up dominic’s name?

Nick: I did see that, and i noticed that you were paying very close attention, as well. I mean, we’re never gonna be done parenting, are we?

Sharon: Never. Um…by the way, what did noah say about the job?

Nick: He hasn’t given me an answer, but I’m feeling good about it.

Sharon: Okay, me too. I mean, I am still worried about him, but I think you’re right, he needs a new direction.

Nick: I’m confident he’s gonna find it.

Sharon: Like you did. You seem a lot more at peace with yourself since you’ve come home from milan.

Nick: Well, I realize that i have everything I need to be happy. My family is my touchstone.

Sharon: I saw a lot of that in action tonight.

Nick: Well, I want to thank you for putting this whole evening together. I loved it. We really have created something special with our kids, haven’t we?

Sharon: And it’s only getting stronger.

Nick: That’s what I wished for.

Sharon: I knew that. I know you pretty well.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Thanks for agreeing to come back here with me. I mean, I didn’t feel much like having this conversation in the hospital. Can I — can I offer you something to drink? Are we gonna do this or not? Curtis, please. Please, take it easy. This — this isn’t easy for me. You know what isn’t easy? Growing up without a father and thinking he’s dead, and then finding out that he didn’t die, but that he simply walked out on his family, leaving them on their own. So why don’t you stop procrastinating and tell me the truth? Where you been all this time?

[ Humming ] You hungry?

[ Sighs ]

[ Groans ]

[ Knock on door ] I’m not here. Oof! This better be important. Okay. So how does this work?

[ Scoffs ] This was your idea.

[ Chuckling ] Yeah, it was, but just because it was my idea doesn’t make it a good idea. I don’t really know what I’m doing. Okay. First, we arm ourselves with a drink. Okay. Then we establish a forward operating base at the end of the room with a nearby base camp at a table for tactical retreat. You’re funny. You make it sound like a battle. Stick with me and you’ll learn dating is war.

One million nights ago okay. Well, what’ll it be? Oh, I’m not sure tikis suit the occasion. Agreed. No colorful drinks with equally colorful umbrellas or pineapple wedges or anything frou-frou. Mm. If ever there was a time for straight-up whiskey, it’s drinking to the memory of luke spencer. How did you get in my house? Oh, spencer and his charming girlfriend invited me in. They’re in the kitchen right now, making tea. I do apologize if I surprise you. Why would you apologize? We both know you planned it.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Why is this pink? Because a beer makes you look like a knuckle-dragger. Oh. And a martini is too threatening. And what does pink say about me? A cosmo says that you’re comfortable with your sexuality and you can have fun, but not too much fun. Right. Not too much fun. So how do we mingle? You’ve never done this? How did you meet women in…pautauk? Square dances. It’s true.

[ Chuckles ] And church bazaars.

[ Laughs ]

[ Chuckling ] There was a time in my life when I made a decision that I was more comfortable around gentle woodland creatures than I was around humankind, male or female. But that’s over now, and I’m in. I’m a volunteer, and I’m your wingman. So wherever you go, I’m ready to follow. You’re not going. Ah, you take point. No, you — ladies first. Truly. I insist. Okay.

[ Chuckles ] We are [Laughs] Two accomplished, bold-faced names comfortable in high-pressure environments. We can navigate a night out at a club on our own. Right? Absolutely.

[ Mellow music playing ] I spoke with anna. She’s keeping an eye on robert. Oh, poor robert. He must be devastated. Yeah, I heard him singing “waltzing matilda” in the background. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Depends. Was he singing in key? Really? At least he’s feeling no pain.

[ Sighs ] Oh, boy. First holly, then sean, now luke. Oh, honey, so much loss. Mom, what can I do? Oh, you’re doing it, sweetheart, just by being here with me. I know that you and luke were close at one point. Ah. Luke wasn’t always that easy to get along with, but he was there for me when it counted. I can’t help but think about lulu. She’s going to wake up one day and ask about her dad. What are we gonna tell her? Laura will have the right words. Still as feisty as ever, I see. And you are just as brazen and smarmy. I heard you cut yourself an immunity deal by throwing your partner, peter august, under the bus. Well, the wsb’s priority was always peter. I was just happy to do my part for the greater good. I’m sure that deal served no one better than you. The wsb snared one snake by releasing another one. Oh, I applaud your way with words. I’m sure that helped you get elected, madam mayor. What do you want, victor? Well, you mean aside from the pleasure of your company? Oh, all in due time. I’m not going anywhere. Marshall: I get it. You’re angry. You have every right to be. But, curtis, I gotta tell you, I’m getting — I’m getting real tired of you coming at me with this attitude. I’m getting tired of you dodging the truth. You didn’t want to talk at the hospital. You didn’t want to talk on the ride over. And now we’re here at the private place that you wanted. You want to talk about my attitude? Marshall, you may be my biological father. You don’t know me at all if you think I’m putting up with this. That’s not what I’m saying. Then what

are you saying? But don’t tell me that you’re changing your mind about telling me what you’ve been up to all this time. You know what? Why did I even bother? I’m thinking I’m gonna come here and you’re gonna tell me something different than all those other nights when you — when you coughed up these vague excuses instead of the truth. And don’t even tell me I’m better off not knowing. You know what? I’m sorry. I’m sorry. You — I-I thought I could do this. Really? So you just — it’s all of a sudden safe to speak? It’ll never be safe, man. Never. Is wiley okay? He’s fine. Oh. I’m not sure you are. No, it’s just a headache. I’ll live. Then may I come in? It’s important. Isn’t it always? Okay. You got five minutes. Six if you leavecarly’s name out of it. I’ve come to apologize. I’m sorry I couldn’t honor my promise not to tell anyone about you and sonny. And I’m sorry for accusing you of setting me up at the hearing. Ah! So you believe that I meant to stay out of carly and sonny’s marriage, even if I was found guilty of fraud and identity theft? I do. Well, I suppose you feel better having said all that. A little. At least that makes one of us. Carly: You’re cooking. Yeah. You know, there wasn’t any food in the kitchen at the penthouse, and I-I-I missed this. So, um, can you do me a favor? Can you just taste this? I’m not hungry. Y-yeah, I know, but I’m not gonna make you a plate. I just want you to taste, see if I need anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there we go. Could use some more sugar. Yeah? Mm-hmm. Yeah, well, you know, I thought I was being too conservative with the sweet stuff. You know what I mean? Uh… how about some mozzarella or some, uh, you know, parmesan? I’m really tired, sonny. I-I just really want to go — okay. You know what? There’s — there’s also — there’s also some — some bread warming up in the oven. Guess where it’s from. Eckert’S. I can cut you, like, some mozzarella. I can melt it, and then, you know — or parmesan, whatever you want me to give you A… you know what I mean, right? Some wine — you want some wine? I’ll do whatever you want. Okay. You know what? We can just forget the, um… …forget the bread and cheese. Can we just sit down and just talk? Or are we too far gone for even that?

I can’t imagine there’smuch here to interest you. Oh, my family’s here. You and your brothers put port charles through hell. And I haven’t forgotten. I’ve lived with that mistake every day of my life since. Not everyone was so lucky. It was a — a terrible waste and an ugly stain on the cassadine legacy. I-I hope someday the cassadines will be remembered for better deeds. Like how to fake one’s death to avoid justice? Well, my work required anonymity and a — a free hand.

[ Laughs ] Dare I ask what kind of work you were up to? Well, it’s simple, really. I work for atonement. You keep telling me it’s not safe for me to know the truth about you. Alright. Curtis, you need to understand how dangerous it can be for you if you learn everything about me. I’m not the same little boy you left behind over 30 years ago. I’ve learned to take care of myself. Nah. No. No. Right. Don’t come near me or my family again. What? Wait, wait. Okay. Alright. I, um… I got into trouble. I got into trouble and left my family before my trouble became yours. Willow, you don’t owe me an apology. I put you in an impossible situation when I made you promise not to tell anyone about my relationship with sonny in nixon falls. It was my responsibility to deal with the consequences. I shouldn’t have put that responsibility off on you. And then when you had no choice but to tell the truth, I shouldn’t have asked you to perjure yourself. It could have jeopardized your future with wiley, and he already lost one mother, and I would never be able to forgive myself if he lost another. Are you actually apologizing to me? Yeah. You can save yours. Thanks. You’re welcome. I have a feeling I’ll need to be well-stocked in apologies if michael finds out I came to see you. You know what? Maybe this was just a mistake.

[ Sighs ] I guess neither one of us is hungry. I’m just cooking ’cause I want to distract myself. From us? Yeah, from us and… have you talked to your mom? No. She left me a voicemail, but I haven’t listened to it yet. Why? Laura came by. It’s luke. What? Um… he died. What? Yeah, it was an accident, but I don’t know anything specific. She didn’t say anything else. Oh, my god. I gotta… well… …I gotta call my mom. Yeah, but I-I talked to, uh, lucas. He said bobbie went to bed early and he gave her something to help her sleep. So maybe you don’t want to disturb her. Ugh! Why don’t you go up and see avery and donna, and I’ll just clean up. I’ll — I’ll take care — I can’t! I can’t! You can’t what? I can’t do this! I can’T… I can’t act like our life isn’t falling apart.

Port charlesseeking redemption. Good luck with that. Oh, you’re a force to be reckoned with in port charles, madam mayor. Your word carries enormous weight. I will never advocate for you, victor. Oh, now, “never” is a strong word, laura. You know, I — I knew that just one conversation would probably not be enough to convince you of my good intentions. So I’m prepared to wait. For the moment, I’ll focus on smaller things.

One, two, three, four

hair down, high, high heels

going out on the scene

pink dress

and a purse to match

looking like a beauty queen so, uh… you come here often? One time at band camp, I was playing the tuba… no, no, no! That — that — that’s a joke. I’m joking!

[ Laughs ]

Feels so good greece? No, I’m — I’m not a fan.

And I want it all,

feels so good… hey. Are you striking out, too? Nope, not even in the game anymore. Just sitting here with my pink drink.

I want a kiss, kiss,

baby, baby, please you looked like you were having fun, though.

Yeah, feels so good

when I get what I need

I want a kiss, kiss,

baby, baby, please to luke. To luke.

[ Mellow music playing ] Wow. Gah! That’s a drink. Um, how much drinking to luke is appropriate? I think just one each is plenty. Yeah. Besides, there’s something I’ve been meaning to talk to you about, uh, but we have to be sober for it. How sober? Well, relatively sober. Is this the same subject you wanted to talk to me about before we got interrupted with the news about luke? It is. Okay, mom. I really don’t think — I’m concerned about you. I know you are, but I’m fine. Maxie, nobody knows you better than I do, and I am concerned that you are not well.

[ Door slams ] Explain “trouble.” Your mother and i were young. We had you and tommy to take care of. At least I was in a band and doing well. Well enough to provide for our family?

[ Chuckles ] Not quite. But the band was getting there — more gigs, classier nightclubs. The brass ring was in sight. Until? Curtis, I-I had this habit of getting involved with things…

[ Sighs ] …That should have been none of my concern, matters that — that drew my focus from my — my music, my family. Criminal matters? I tried. I tried to mind my own business. But I got hung up in it, man. And before I realized how far things had gone, it — it was too late. It was too late. I wasn’t in control anymore. Who was? Another player. Bigger than me. I didn’t stand a chance. And the only way I could keep my family clear of all that I almost brought to their doorstep was to leave — leave, son, and never look back, and take steps to make sure no one ever came looking for me. I guess it worked. ‘Cause no one ever did. We’re not falling apart.

[ Laughs ] Oh, god. If you say so. We may not be in the best place right now, but we’re gonna beat this, carly. Ugh. Can you beat your feelings for nina? I’m gonna outlast them. But that doesn’t matter, because they don’t compare to my feelings for you. You’re who I want. But not the one you turn to. See, you left something out when we were talking about nina earlier — about how she found you drunk at charlie’s pub and she helped you get to the penthouse and then she kept you company. Is that what nina told you? Yeah. And she also said that if you came to her now, she wouldn’t turn you away. I’m gonna take this with me. So, I’m gonna go home. I suggest you do the same thing. Just one more thing. The friction between you and michael is bad for wiley. It is just the situation I wanted to avoid. But if you and i work together, we may be able to prevent the situation from escalating any further. And how do you propose we do that? I will work on lowering the temperature with michael if you give up your legal claim on wiley.

why do you think that I’m not doing well? Is it how I’m parenting georgie and james or doing my job at deception? No. My grandbabies are wonderful, and I hear through the grapevine that you do very good work at deception. Congratulations. That’s wonderful. You’re doing well — maybe too well. Okay, I’m doing so well that I’m not doing well? Peter is out of his coma, and louise is still missing. I get it, mom. You think I should be falling apart. Why aren’t you? Well, I almost did, but then I got a grip. I don’t have the luxury of having a breakdown right now. My kids need me to be strong. And what do you need? Besides louise? Nothing I don’t already have. Which is? The best support system in the world. I have you and mac and anna and robert and liesl and britt and nina. Thank you for my dance. Thank you for inviting me. I really appreciate it. This was fun. And, you know, some other people, too. Like who? Britt: You’re fired. Oh, congratulations, dr. Gatlin-holt. You are the worst wingman ever. Yeah, fair enough. You know, I-I think maybe it was just a bad idea to do this at all and we should just figure out a different way to get your matchmaking mother off your back. Mm. So your mom doesn’t buy you dating services for the holidays? No, she doesn’T. Mm. Not yet. I mean, just ’cause she hasn’t thought of it yet.

[ Laughs ] Then what do you do when she asks you how you’re gonna meet a nice girl? Tell her I already have. So you lie. Mm. You faked your own death. Were the feds involved? Were you in witness protection? I took another name and kept a low profile. Played a few gigs here and there, but always out of the spotlight, bounced around, never staying in one place long enough to make friends, another home, family. Till now. I know it’s a lot to take in, son. And I bet you’ve got a bunch of questions for me, too, don’t you? Just one. That player you mentioned. Mm-hmm. Was it the mob? Doesn’t matter what nina said. I’m not going to her. I’m here with you, and I want to stay with my wife. That’s not what nina said. I don’t care what nina said! Nina said there was moreto nixon falls than I knew…

[ Sighs ] …That things between the two of you got so real that you almost slept together. Nothing ever happened, carly. No, it didn’T. But it almost did. And it didn’t, not because, somewhere in the back of your mind, there was a memory of me calling out to you, telling you to stop. It didn’t happen because nina stopped it. There it is — you’re not here to apologize. You’re here to do michael’s dirty work. I told you, no one knows I’m here. This is all on me and what is best for wiley. And what’s best for wiley is for me to stop being his grandmother? That little boy — he loves me. And you will never even imagine how much I love — nina, I know. And I am not saying that you need to be forcibly separated from him. Oh, my goodness. I think something’s wrong with my hearing, because wiley is my blood relative, and I — and I thought I heard you suggesting that I shouldn’t claim a legal relationship with him. Right. Not now. But if you renounce your claim, michael will see that as a gesture of goodwill, and eventually he’ll understand it’s in all our best interests for you to have a relationship with wiley. Grandparents have legal rights to visitation in new york, and you’re suggesting that I surrender those rights? Yes. But you will not lose your connection to wiley. Ah! Says who? Says me. Spencer: I didn’t expect you home so soon. Well, I’m just full of surprises today, aren’t I? And so are you, inviting your uncle victor into the house. Esme: Is there a reason spence shouldn’t have? I mean, he’s always telling me that you believe family is everything. Oh, and — and so it is. But the last thing I want to do is to upset you, laura. I just wanted to drop by and see spencer before he went into spring ridge. Thanks for the reminder. Oh, come on, now. Buck up, boy, hmm? You incurred a debt. We cassadines never welch on a debt. You’re right. We don’T. Esme : Mrs. Collins, can I, um,pour you some tea? Mr. Cassadine? Oh, thank you, but I believe I’ve outstayed my welcome. But we barely got the chance to talk. Well, perhaps some other time. Stay. Are you sure? Oh, yes, absolutely. Spencer’s gone to all the trouble of making you tea. Look — he’s even brought you cookies. Well, uh, thank you. If you insist. I-I certainly don’t want to impose. You’re not imposing. He’s not imposing, right? No, no, no. Well, the — the fact is, spencer, your grandmother’s had a very taxing day, given the tragic loss to her family.

Are you seeing someone? Why didn’t you tell me?! I’m — I’m not seeing anyone. I mean, I-I… I do see her, you know? If she’s standing right in front of me, then I see her. If we’re in the same room… okay, wait, but — …then I see her. You like her. She likes you. Okay, we are not standing in front of a row of lockers in, like, a middle school hallway. I’m not having this conversation with you. Oh, so instead, you act like you’re single and available. Oh, I am single. But you’re not available. She is not available. So wait. She’s married? No, no. It’s just — it’s — it’s — it’s very complex, and you know what? I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to be having this conversation with you right now ’cause you’re my boss. Um, we’ve been out trying to hook up, and now you’re concerned about propriety? I mean, do I — do I know this person? Does she work at the hospital? I’m not playing 20 questions with you.

[ Scoffs ] Can we stop? Why would you not want me to know who holds the key to your heart? Alright, so if — if you ever decide that you don’t want to be the co-chief of one of the best hospitals in new york state, you could have another career as a romance novelist. Mm. You’re deflecting. I am. You know I’m not gonna stop until you tell me. It’s maxie. Ahh!

[ Laughs ] I like maxie. Okay. I’m sure luke wouldn’t mind — there we go — if we celebrated in our own way. Luke was an iconoclast.

[ Chuckles ] But now that you have procrastinated long enough, answer my question. Who else have you come to rely on? And you need to know this why? Oh, so that I can put him, or her, in my phone tree and send out message alerts about you.

[ Coughs ] You don’t really do that, do you? Oh, yes, I-I call mac. Mac calls robert. Robert calls anna. Anna calls nina. And nina calls liesl. It’s good to have that firewall between anna and liesl, but, um, mom, a phone tree about me? Don’t you think that’s a little extra? Every single one of those people is prepared to drop everything and come running to help you. We are team maxie. So you can see why it’s important to not leave anyone off. The more people on your side, the better. Okay, since I know you won’t leave me alone until I tell you… it’s dr. Gatlin-holt. Austin. If you would like to express your condolences, you should reach out to luke’s partner, tracy. Oh, I intend to do so. But luke was important to you as well — your husband once, father to lulu and lucky. That marriage ended a long time ago. Well, as short-lived as my relationship with luke was, he remained a large part of my life. I don’t live in the past. Clearly, you do. Which is why I aim to make amends. You aim high. Tell us, how do you plan to make it right? Nina: Let me get this straight. Okay, so you’re proposing that I sever the only legal link I have to my grandson in the scant hope that michael, whose only wish is that I drop dead in the ugliest way possible, will eventually deign to let me be near wiley, and he’s gonna do this out of the goodness of his heart? What fantasy world do you live in? I am not saying it will happen overnight, but michael can be reasoned with. He will always do what’s best for our son. I’d like that notarized, please. He’s let you see wiley before, despite carly’s wishes. He will do so again, as long as he sees that you are not a threat to his family. Okay. Alright. If you can say without a shadow of a doubt that michael’s gonna go along with what you say and he’s not gonna use my generosity against me or cut my throat, then maybe — maybe I’ll consider backing down. We got so much to work out, carly, without having to litigate things that never happened. Let’s talk about your refusal to say that what happened between you and nina in nixon falls could never happen again.

[ Laughs ] This is exactly what I wanted to avoid.

[ Tapping foot ] I put the fear of god in nina. So if you’re concerned about that, you should go see her. I don’t think nina would mind if you checked on her. Matter of fact, I think you would like it. Marshall: I’ve said enough. But it sounds to me like you got involved in a criminal organization with a player so powerful that you left your family to believe that you were dead. Now, is there anything else? Am I wrong? Just — just tell me. There’s no need. Look, I’m sorry it took so long for me to tell you, but now — now you’ve gotten the gist of it. Okay, but I need specifics. Haven’t you heard enough, son? It’s just a start, okay? But I can’t do much with it. I need to know about the organizations. I need to know about the participants, the prosecutor, the case. Who was your handler? Why do you need to know all that? You came to port charles. You gave up your cover. You’re a man on the run with no support. I wouldn’t have come back if I didn’t feel it was far enough in the past. But you yourself said it wasn’t safe still. These things, curtis, they — they — they can come back on you. You think you’re done. If you’re not careful, though, they develop a second wind. One call may stop all that. And I have contacts. Who? Your ex-wife?

[ Sighs ] It’s not the law. It’s the opposite. I know some people who can cover all of this. But first, I need to know who you crossed. All I need is a name.

[ Sighs ]

tell us, victor — you talk about atonement and redemption, making amends. Tell us — how are you going to make good? By being here to rebuild my family. A family you haven’t seen in decades. We thought you were dead. Well, it’s never too late to start afresh. In port charles? My family is here, laura. How else would I get to know them better? Or protect them? I knew you were friends with maxie, but I never suspected you were into her. I-I care about her a great deal, okay? Can we please just leave it at that? You — you do know that maxie is no longer in love with peter, right? Yeah, it’s not that at all. It’S… maxie has a lot on her mind. And there’s no room for me in her life. Mm. Well, I mean, who’s to say that can’t change one day, maybe? And if nothing else, you have really great taste. Thanks. Great taste. Terrible timing. Felicia: Austin, huh? Mom, he literally saved my life the night he delivered louise in the woods, and he’s been great ever since, you know, except when he’s fighting with brook lynn. His number? Oh, no, no, no. Austin and I are just friends, and the phone tree — it seems to be just family, so… friends can be just as important as family, sometimes even more so. Is it just me, or does your grandmother have a problem with your great-uncle? Problem? Nah. Try blood feud or vendetta. Either works.

[ Door opens ] I, uh — I do appreciate your suffering my presence. I — I’m sure I was a pretty unwelcome sight. I do hope soon to change that. In the meantime, I’m sure we can find common ground with spencer. Can we? Well, I assume you want what’s best for him, as do I. I think what you want for spencer differs from what I want. Well, I hope to prove you wrong. And as for luke, a tragic loss. I’m truly sorry. Now I know you’re lying. Good night, victor. Mm. Good…bye. Thank you for your offer of help. But I have said all I intend to say. Even though I have the power to save you from ever having to look over your shoulder again? I appreciate that. I truly do. It’s more than I ever dreamed of getting from you. See, you misunderstand. See, you telling your story does not change the history between us. The past is a lie. The present is nothing to envy. Well, and there won’t be a future if you don’t keep talking. See, this is not about helping you. This is about keeping aunt stella and tj safe from whoever is chasing you, no matter how far you think they may be behind you. Well, in that case, I guess there’s nothing left to talk about. Marshall: Curtis. Stop asking questions. Just leave it be. That’s the only way to keep stella and tj safe. Nina, I can’t guarantee that michael will do as I hope. I can promise you that I will try, and I will never stop until michael grants you access to wiley again. Not good enough. Nina, sonny’s family is in so much pain over losing him for nine months. The pain won’t end until someone takes the first step towards healing. And the first stepper should be me. Okay, I get it. I screwed up, willow. I will spend the rest of my life making up for that, but I will not do it at the expense of my relationship with my grandson! I said it would not be permanent. At least sonny knows that I’m not evil incarnate. And I will be damned if I let anyone convince wiley that I am. I told you, I’m not going anywhere. I can’t do this. I — you need to be gone by tomorrow. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What are you — what are you — t-this is my home, carly. I asked you for some time! Right. I asked you for some space and time alone so I could figure this out. You can’t figure it out alone. We got — we have to do this together. Or maybe we don’t figure it out. Look, if — if you’re here in the morning when I wake up, don’t bother leaving, I’ll go. What — I’ll just go. What do you mean you’re gonna go? Where are you gonna go?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ben: So are we gonna open it or are we just gonna keep staring at it?

Ciara: Mmm, I thought you were gonna decide.

Ben: Since when are you okay with me deciding everything for the both of us?

Ciara: Yeah. Good point.

Ben: Good point, right. It’s not like the contents of that envelope could change our life forever or anything.

Ciara: No, not at all. No.

Ben: Not at all. Right.

Ciara: Mm-mm.

Ben: But if we do decide

open the envelope, we decide together.

Ciara: Agreed.

Ben: Agreed.

Ciara: Yeah.

Ben: Good.

Ciara: Mm-hmm.

Ben: So do we open it?

Ciara: [Sighs]

Paulina: When that pile of glass was about to come raining down on me, you–you called out to me, told me to look out.

Lani: Yeah.

Paulina: Yeah. You called me mom.

Lani: Did I?

Paulina: It happened fast, but I’m pretty sure that’s what I heard.

Lani: Oh, um, hm. I guess I did.

Paulina: Well, I suppose my question is why?

[Door opens]

Tripp: Hey there. I hear someone banged up her ankle tonight. Must’ve been some wedding reception.

Lani: You could say that.

Tripp: So tell me what happened.

Paulina: Johnny dimera happened. I could wring that boy’s neck for hurting my baby. And I would have too if that tacky chandelier hadn’t almost fallen on me.

Tripp: Wait. A chandelier almost fell on you?

Lani: Yeah. Long story.

Tripp: And what did johnny do to chanel?

Paulina: What did he do? Oh, that pompous trustafarian, he broke my daughter’s heart.

Chanel: [Crying] I don’t know what I’d do without you, horton.

[Sniffling] I’m so wrecked, I can hardly stand.

Allie: That’s–that’s what we do for each other. It’s what we’ve always done since london. When the world gets one of us down, we hold each other up.

Chanel: You and me against the world.

Allie: Yeah. You and me.

[Romantic music]

I can’t–I–I can’t do this.

Susan: And why would you call me “grandma” when we both know that you are not my grandson?

Johnny: Of course I’m your grandson. Are you sure you’re feeling okay?

Susan: I am fit as a fiddle. Now that I know why I’m having all those awful, tummy turning premonitions.

Johnny: Hmm. And why is that?

Susan: Oh, because you are not my precious little johnny. He would never do what you did to his wife.

Johnny: What do you mean I’m not johnny?

Susan: I mean you are the mean, mean, mean devil himself. And as god is my witness, I am gonna put an end to your reign of terror once and for all!

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

[Soft orchestration]

Johnny: Grandma susan, i think you should go lay down. You’re obviously not yourself.

Susan: Don’t you touch me! Don’t you touch me. You’re the one who’s not himself.

Johnny: Don’t be silly. You don’t have to be afraid of me.

Susan: I am not afraid! I’m not afraid! I’m not afraid because I’ve got god on my side.

Johnny: You’re being– you’re being ridiculous. It’s me, your dear, sweet johnny.

Susan: Oh, there is nothing sweet about you. I can smell the brimstone on your breath.

Johnny: What? You’re not– you’re not making any sense.

Susan: Oh, I’m making so much sense. I am because I can feel it. I feel it in my bones. And you–you must’ve jumped out of dr. Marlena evans and into my sweet johnny during the exorcism. And you can’t fool me. You can’T. Not anymore.

Johnny: [Scoffs] Oh.

[Demon voice] I guess you’re not as dumb as you look.

Susan: Oh! It’s you! Beelzebub! I knew it! I knew it!

Demon johnny: Congratulations, susie Q. You figured it out. So now what are you gonna do about it?

Tripp: Johnny dumped chanel at their wedding reception in front of everyone?

Paulina: Hm. I thought nothing could be worse than my wedding to abe, but this was way worse.

Tripp: What did– what did chanel do?

Paulina: Well, she ran out in tears, and I would have chased after her, but–

Tripp: So she’s alone right now?

Lani: No, no. Allie went to find her.

Tripp: That must be why she hadn’t returned my call.

Paulina: Yeah, she’s probably busy consoling my poor girl. Oh, she’s a good friend, that one.

Tripp: Yeah. Yeah, she is. Look, I’ll go get this x-ray ordered, and I’ll give her another call, check and see how she and chanel are doing.

Paulina: Oh, do me a favor, dr. Tripp. Don’t tell chanel anything about my injuries. She’s–she’s got enough to worry about. Mm.

Allie: I’m so sorry.

Chanel: For kissing me or for pulling away?

Allie: I’m sorry about what my brother did to you, but I’m–I’m committed to tripp. Okay?

Chanel: Horton.

Allie: No, I have to go.

[Dramatic music]

[Phone vibrates] Hey.

Tripp: Hey there. I just heard what happened at the reception. Is chanel okay?

Allie: She’s–she’s upset, of course. I mean, beyond upset, she’s furious, heartbroken. But she’ll be all right.

Tripp: You’re with her right now?

Allie: Yeah. I– I just put her to bed.

Tripp: At your place?

Allie: No, I’m at her mom’S. But I’m gonna head home now.

Tripp: Okay. I’ve got to get back to work, but just tell chanel that I’m thinking about her.

Allie: Okay, I will. Um, I’ll see you tomorrow. Love you.

Chanel: Horton, please. Don’t go. Don’t bail on me the way your brother did. As a dj, I know all about customization.

Ben: Here’s what I propose.

Ciara: Hmm.

Ben: We lay out the pros and the cons of opening the envelope in an orderly fashion. And then each of us pick a side and we argue–

Ciara: Oh, let’s just open it!

Ben: Whoa. Are you sure?

Ciara: Yes. No. Yes. I–mm, I don’t know. Maybe.

[Groans]

Ben: Great. So it’s settled then.

Ciara: Oh, why is this so hard, babe?

[Knocking on door]

Ben: Maybe we should just ask whoever’s on the other side of this door.

Ciara: Yes, that is a good a plan as any.

[Sighs]

Ben: Shawn.

Shawn: What’s up? Hey.

Ciara: Amazing. Yes or no?

Shawn: Uh, yes or no what?

Ciara: Just pick one, yes or no.

Shawn: I’ve learned never to give an answer without knowing the question first, so.

Ciara: Fine, be boring. Be that way.

Shawn: Is there a problem? What’s going on? I mean, how was the doctor’s appointment?

Ciara: Good. Better than good. It was perfect. It was great.

Shawn: That’s great.

Ciara: Yeah.

Shawn: So do you have any news?

Ben: Well, we had the sonogram appointment today. And a doctor was able to determine the sex of the baby.

Ciara: Mm.Shawn: That’s excellent! So what’s going on? Am I gonna have a niece or a nephew?

Ciara: Oh, we have no idea.

[Groans]

Chanel: I shouldn’t have compared you to your brother.

Allie: It’s okay. I know how bad he hurt you.

Chanel: No, it’s not okay. You and johnny may be twins, but you are nothing alike. You are kind and thoughtful. And you would never humiliate the person you claimed to love. You would never do that.

Allie: Dupree.

Chanel: Please, don’t tell me not to cry.

Allie: I was just going to say that my brother isn’t worth your tears.

Chanel: I know I took it too far before, but if you could, please, just stay, as friends. I don’t want to be alone tonight.

Belle: [Exhales deeply] Wow.

Ej: Mm-hmm.

Belle: I can’t believe johnny would do that to chanel. Man, that is brutal, even by dimera standards.

Ej: First of all, the boy is half brady–

Belle: Half sami brady.

Ej: And what would you have him do, stay in a loveless marriage?

Belle: Of course not. I just wish he would found a more humane way to end things. Or I don’t know, realize he wasn’t ready for marriage in the first place.

Ej: Well, we all can’t be as perfect as you and shawn.

Belle: Wh– hang on. Are you proud of what johnny did?

Ej: Proud?

Belle: Yeah. When I walked in here, you were having drinks with your father. And maybe you and that vampire were toasting to johnny’s cruelty.

Ej: You sound like my mother with all that vampire talk.

Belle: Mm.

Ej: And you don’t seem to mind cashing your sizable retainer from the company that bears said vampire’s name.

Belle: Yes, that reminds me, is chad here? Because I do have contracts for him to sign.

Ej: I’m not the keeper of my brother’s calendar. I have far more pressing matters on my mind.

Belle: Ah, you mean your kidnapping trial starting tomorrow?

Ej: Yes, that.

Belle: Well, from what I understand, the evidence of you abducting sami is pretty flimsy. So I’m sure your attorney will mount a credible defense.

Ej: I don’t have an attorney.

Belle: What?

Ej: I represented myself at the bail hearing. I figured I’d continue to do so at the trial.

Belle: [Scoffs] You have heard the saying, “he who represents himself has a fool for a client.”

Ej: All right then, counselor, why don’t you represent me?

Belle: [Huffs]

Susan: See, everyone thought you were gone, lucifer. But I knew it. I knew that you hadn’t gone back to that fiery pits of h-e double-hockey-sticks where you belong!

Demon johnny: Do you want an award, maybe some ice cream?

Susan: No! I want you gone, devil!

Demon johnny: You know, I’ll give you credit. You are much more clever than one would assume. It’s too bad you won’t live long enough for anyone else in salem to find out.

Susan: See, I’ve faced you before. I am not afraid of you.

Demon johnny: See, now– now you aren’t sounding smart.

Susan: I’m not afraid of you because you can do anything you want with this body, you can, but you can never, ever touch my immortal soul.

Demon johnny: No offense, but who would want to do anything to that body? I mean, it ain’t exactly built for sin, if you know what I mean. Why do you think I had to turn you into kristen dimera in order to seduce john black?

Susan: And how did that work out for you?

Demon johnny: He is a stubborn, stubborn man. I’ll give you that.

Susan: Mm-mm. Mr. John black, he is strong, and he is loving, and he is loyal. Everything that you– you, demon, are not.

Demon johnny: And yet, I’m still here.

Susan: All right. Now what?

Demon johnny: Good question. Um, well, let’s see. I could turn you back into kristen dimera or a cat. Or maybe– maybe I’ll turn you into a bug so I can squash you underneath my cloven hoof. It’s my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on

Tripp: Okay. So we should have the results of your x-rays back soon.

Paulina: So allie said chanel is doing okay?

Tripp: Yeah, she said she just put her to bed, and now she’s headed home.

Lani: A good night’s sleep will help.

Paulina: I bet she doesn’t sleep a wink, ’cause when she wakes up, that heartache will still be there. I got to– I’ve got to be there for her!

Tripp: I understand that, but we need to get this ankle treated first, okay?

Paulina: Well, can’t you just, you know, wrap it up and let me get out of here?

Tripp: Not just yet, okay? I’m gonna go check on your x-rays. Make sure she won’t make a break for it?

Lani: I will do my best.

Paulina: Ooh. Nothing I hate more than feeling helpless.

Lani: I know. And I know how worried you are about chanel. I am too.

Paulina: I remember when she was little, I used to think, “oh, I’ll be so glad when she gets older, so I can worry less.” But you’ll find this out when your twins get older, a mother never stops worrying about her children, all of her children.

Chanel: Horton, I know I made it weird before, but nothing has to happen between us if you stay. I swear. I just– I don’t want to be alone right now.

Allie: Dupree.

Chanel: My whole life was ripped apart in front of everyone I care about, and I just feel sad, humiliated, lost.

Allie: I would never want you to feel that way.

Chanel: Then you’ll stay?

Allie: Yeah. Yeah, of course I’ll stay.

Chanel: [Sighs] Thank you. You have no idea how much this means to me.

Allie: I just have to call nicole and let her know that I’m not gonna be coming home, see if she’s okay with watching henry.

Chanel: Thank you. And I’m–I’m sorry, again, for what I said before.

Allie: I know you didn’t mean it.

Chanel: Sometimes I can’t believe that you and johnny are twins.

Allie: Yeah, me neither. I hate him for what he did to you. I don’t think I’m ever gonna forgive him for it.

Chanel: I thought he loved me. I thought that we were going to spend the rest of our lives together. I don’t understand how I could have been so wrong about him.

Susan: You can make me a bug, but you cannot crush my spirit, because I have the father, and the son, and the holy ghost on my side. Not to mention mr. John black.

Demon johnny: Is that supposed to make me nervous?

Susan: Ugh! It should! It should, because we’re gonna stop you cold and save my poor grandson from this wicked possession of his body.

[Huffs]

[Door slams]

Demon johnny: See–see, now– now you say you don’t care what I do to you, but what about those you love?

Susan: [Whimpers] What do you mean?

Demon johnny: Well, let’s talk about your beloved elvis. Perhaps it’s time I make good on my threat to dispose of him.

Susan: [Stammering] Stay away from him!

Demon johnny: Oh, I don’t want to hurt ej. Like his father before him, he’s always been so willing to do my handiwork.

Susan: Elvis is such a good boy.

Demon johnny: Well, he’s far from good. But if you force my hand, I won’t think twice about walking downstairs and ripping his beating heart out of his chest.

Belle: I can’t represent you.

Ej: Why not?

Belle: I’m dimera’s corporate counsel. That would be a conflict of interest.

Ej: We can get around that.

Belle: Okay. What about the part where you’re being prosecuted for my sister’s kidnaping?

Ej: That’s a plus. My alleged victim’s own sister believes my innocence.

Belle: Who says I think you’re innocent? Besides, chad and shin would never go for that. I’d be fired on the spot.

Ej: You leave chad and the dimera board to me. I’ll make them see that it’s in the company’s best interest to have these ridiculous charges against me dropped.

Belle: Okay. Maybe you haven’t noticed, but the company is doing everything it can to distance itself from you and this case.

Ej: Cowards.

Belle: I’m just saying, they’re not gonna want me anywhere near it.

Ej: I don’t know about that. What if you’re my best chance at making this whole thing go away?

Belle: I think you’re asking the wrong question. Even if by some miracle the board did approve it, what makes you think I’d want to represent you?

Shawn: Okay, so do either one of you have a preference as to whether or not you want a boy or girl?

Ciara: No. Of course not. As long as the baby is healthy.

Shawn: Ben?

Ben: Same.

Shawn: Okay, so then why don’t we just open it and find out so you can get started on what color to paint the nursery?

Ciara: Okay, well, first of all, we are painting the nursery a neutral color because we are not about gender stereotyping our child.

Shawn: Right. Of course.

Ciara: And we’re even gonna teach them that they can choose their own pronouns when they get old enough.

Shawn: Okay. And I’m totally cool with all that, so why don’t we open the envelope so we can find out, right? Woman: Life’s been hard enough.

Ej: Look, I understand your reluctance to represent me. We’ve had our differences. And I realize honesty hasn’t always been my strong suit.

Belle: You think?

Ej: However, I assure you I’m telling the truth when I say I did not have samantha kidnapped. Someone framed me.

Belle: Even if I believed you, and I am not saying that I do, sami thinks you’re guilty. And so I would be betraying my own sister if I represented you.

Ej: It’s not as if sami hasn’t betrayed you, over and over again.

Belle: It doesn’t make it right.

Ej: Look, I’m fighting for my life here. If you don’t wanna help me for me, then do it for your niece and nephew. Do you really think johnny and sydney’s father should go to prison for a crime he didn’t commit?

Belle: Think of the children? That’s your pitch?

Ej: Think of the children.

Belle: Only problem is johnny is not an innocent child. He proved that here tonight.

Susan: Oh. I am not gonna fall for that twice. Mm-mm.

Demon johnny: Fall for what?

Susan: You bluffing about killing my elvis.

Demon johnny: And what makes you think I’m bluffing?

Susan: Because most people think that you’re gone, and that’s just the way you like it, because you’re not gonna kill my elvis, uh-uh, not in the middle of the dimera family mansion. There are witnesses downstairs.

Demon johnny: [Laughs] You think I care about witnesses?

Susan: Yes. I do. I do because you can wreak more havoc on the– on the down low like you did tonight.

Demon johnny: Or maybe people will just think johnny went off the deep end.

Susan: Uh-uh. ‘Cause even if they do, my johnny, my sweet, sweet johnny would never hurt his daddy! Uh-uh. He–he–he would never, ever kill him. And if the second he did– the second he did, people would know that satan is still in salem, and then mr. John black and his hunky stepson, father eric, and all the forces of good are gonna come, and they are gonna vanquish you again, buster! Right?

Allie: Thank you so much. Give henry a big kiss for me, okay? All right, I’ll see you first thing in the morning. Yeah, night. Hi, it is totally fine with nicole if I stay here.

Chanel: Thank you again for doing this. I swear, if you weren’t here–

Allie: Chanel, you don’t have to thank me, okay? I’m your best friend. This is what we do for each other.

Chanel: I’m so, so grateful to have you.

Allie: Okay, so I’m just gonna go sleep on the couch, but I’m right outside if you need me.

Chanel: That’s dumb, horton. There’s plenty of room in the bed.

Allie: Chanel.

Chanel: I’ll stay on my side, you stay on yours. I won’t bother you. Just knowing that you’re here will be enough.

Allie: Okay.

Chanel: You’re gonna sleep in that?

Allie: Oh. Yeah, I guess not. Thanks.

[Dramatic music]

Tripp: You’re lucky it’s just a sprain, but I want you to stay off of it for a few days, okay?

Paulina: Will do. And, you know, dr. Tripp, you got a nice bedside manner.

Tripp: Thank you.

Paulina: And I’m sure you are going to be a top-notch physician.

Tripp: Well, I have a great role model in my stepmom– chief of staff, dr. Kayla johnson.

Paulina: [Gasps] Right. Well, I’m sure she is as proud of you as I am of my girls.

Tripp: And now I’m gonna go get started on your discharge paperwork and prescriptions. I’m also gonna give you a cane, that’ll help steady yourself while you heal, okay? I’ll be back in a few.

Paulina: Mm-hmm.

Lani: Thank you.

Paulina: [Sighs] Oh, uh, I hope you weren’t offended by my referring to you as one of my girls.

Lani: No. I wasn’T.

Paulina: Oh, that’s a relief. Now, what about that question I asked you earlier?

Lani: When I saw the chandelier coming for you and blurted out “mom”?

Paulina: Yeah, that.

Lani: I don’t know. I’m–I’m not sure why I said it. I–I saw that you were in danger and I just–I don’t know, I just–I said it in the moment.

Paulina: I see.

Lani: The truth is, I will always see tamara as my mother.

Paulina: No, of course.

Lani: But deep down, somewhere in there, I– I guess I– I see you that way too.

Trelegy for copd.

Demon johnny: You do make an excellent point. Killing your son would be quite impractical.

Susan: Mm-hmm. Impractical and evil. Very, very, very evil.

Demon johnny: [Sighs] But keeping our little secret is essential to my plan. So I’m gonna have to find another way to silence you– permanently.

Susan: Oh, no, you don’t! No, you don’t, because I have the strength of christ, and he compels you, go back, to stay six feet away from me.

Demon johnny: Would you stop it with your infantile babbling?

Susan: Oh, that’s it. Infantile!

Demon johnny: So?

Susan: So that’s why you’re back! That’s it. You are still after ben and ciara’s poor, innocent young-un.

Shawn: All right, look, either you want to know the sex of your baby so you can be prepared or you’re just gonna wait and be surprised.

Ben: Right.

Shawn: Uh, so– so which is it?

Ben: I don’t think we’re going to decide tonight.

Ciara: No, I guess not.

Shawn: Well, come on. I mean, that was anti-climactic. Jeez.

Ciara: Ah, well, sorry.

Shawn: Look, it’s okay. All right, it’s fine. I’m just joking. You guys got to do what you got to do for yourselves, so.

Ciara: Mm. Look, I probably got to get going. You know, I’m gonna meet belle for a late dinner, so.

Ciara: Wait! Could you– would you take the envelope with you?

Shawn: You want– you want me to take your sonogram home with me? Why?

Ben: Y–yeah, why? Why?

Ciara: Well, you know, no, just for safekeeping, you know, until we decide if and when we want to open it.

Ben: You’re scared you’re tempted you’re gonna take a peek.

Ciara: Oh, well, you’re scared that you’re tempted to take a peek too.

Ben: I probably will.

Ciara: Yeah.

Ben: Take that temptation, please.

Ciara: Take it away. Would you do us a solid and just help us out, please?

Shawn: Yes, I can do that.

Ciara: Cool.

Shawn: But I’m gonna take a peek at it when I get home.

Ben: No!

Ciara: No!

Shawn: I’m joking. Gosh. Come on. It is locked away in ze vault.

Ciara: Okay.

[Ben sighs]

Demon johnny: Oh, there you go again, susan. Being too smart for your own good.

Susan: Well, I am warning you. I am not gonna let you go anywhere near the westons’ unborn child.

Demon johnny: [Laughs] Oh.

Susan: What is so funny?

Demon johnny: Just you thinking that there’s anything you can do about it.

Susan: You–you’re not gonna get away with this. You are not gonna get away with this because, you know what, you can slam doors in my face, but I’m gonna go straight downstairs, and I am gonna tell elvis everything.

Demon johnny: You know what?

[Eerie music]

Ej: We’re family, belle. Whether you like it or not. I know I’ve done some terrible things in my life, but I did not kidnap samantha. As upset as I was that she cheated on me with lucas, I still love her. And we share two incredible children who deserve better than this.

Belle: Ej. I–I can’t–I’m sorry, I cannot represent you.

Ej: Fine. Go ahead. Abandon me just like your sister did.

Belle: Well, listen, I can help you find another attorney–

Ej: Go! Just–just go! Go.

[Ej sighs]

Belle: All right. Will you just tell chad I came by? And good luck tomorrow.

[Dramatic music]

Susan: Elvis! Wait, elvis. Oh, son, son. Hey, hey. I have something very important to tell you! My plaque psoriasis…

Tripp: Okay. Here you go.

Paulina: Oh. Oh, thank you, doctor.

Tripp: And I also want you to take ibuprofen as needed for the pain. And watch out for those falling chandeliers.

Paulina: Will do.

Tripp: And please, tell chanel I hope she’s okay.

Paulina: Okay, then. Thanks, doctor. Well, I’ll be on my way.

Lani: Why don’t you let me take you home?

Paulina: Oh, no, no, no, no. My driver and my car, they’re downstairs.

Lani: Are you sure?

Paulina: Yeah, yeah. You go home to your– your beautiful twins and their beautiful daddy.

Lani: Okay. Um, please tell chanel I’m thinking of her. And I’ll give her a call tomorrow.

Paulina: Okay. I will. Um, lani?

Lani: Yeah?

Paulina: I’m so glad that you were there for me. You can’t imagine how much that means to me.

Chanel: [Sobbing] Horton?

Allie: Yeah?

Chanel: Are you still awake?

Allie: Well, it would be pretty silly if I said no.

Chanel: Right.

Allie: You okay?

Chanel: No. But I’m really glad you’re here.

Allie: So am I. I want you to know, my brother’s an idiot.

Chanel: I already know that.

Allie: No, I mean, I can’t even believe what he’s giving up. You are the smartest, fiercest, most beautiful woman I know. Anybody would be lucky to be with you.

Chanel: Do you really mean that?

Allie: Yeah. I do.

[Romantic music]

Ej: What is it, mother? Is something wrong?

Susan: Oh, no. Everything’s fine. It’s fine. I just–I need to tell you that I’m leaving salem.

Ej: What?

Susan: Yeah, yeah. I’m sorry. I’m sorry, baby boy, but roger needs me. Asap.

Ej: You’re going right now?

Susan: Uh, yeah! Yessiree, bob. I am. I am. I’m on that midnight train to memphis. Actually, no, I’m flying.

Ej: Surely you can wait until the morning.

Johnny: She really wants to go.

Ej: You knew about this? What’s the emergency?

Susan: You’re not gonna get away with this. You are not gonna get away with this because, you know what, you can slam doors in my face, but I am gonna go straight downstairs, and I am gonna tell elvis everything.

Demon johnny: You know what?

[Eerie music]

Susan: You’re gonna let me go?

Demon johnny: And what are you gonna tell him?

Susan: I’m gonna tell him that I’m leaving salem.

Demon johnny: When?

Susan: Tonight.

Demon: Johnny: Excellent. Why?

Susan: Because roger needs me.

Demon johnny: He sure does. Why don’t I help you pack your bags?

Susan: Okey-dokey. You’re such a sweet boy.

Demon johnny: Yeah. Actually, I did know, dad. I’m the one who convinced her to go.

[Dramatic music]

Get ready. It’s time for

the savings event of the year.

Ben: Do you think we made the right decision letting your brother take the sonogram?

Ciara: Well, I’m pretty sure if we had it, we’d be staring at it all night.

Ben: Probably.

Ciara: And there’s still plenty of time to find out the sex of the baby.

Ben: If we want to.

Ciara: If we want to. Yeah. Right now, I’m kind of happy not knowing.

Ben: Right now, I’m going to make sure that I do everything in my power to make sure that we always stay as happy as we are right now.

Ciara: Baby, you brought me back from the dead.

Ben: Hmm.

Ciara: We battled the devil together to save our child. I’m pretty sure nothing in this world or any other world, for that matter, could break us apart ever again.

Ej: Why would you encourage your grandmother to leave salem?

Johnny: Because she’s lonely. She was telling me how much roger wanted to see her. And I encouraged her to go because I could see how much she missed him.

Susan: I do. I do. I miss him desperately.

Johnny: I gave your bags to the driver, grandma. He’s–he’s waiting outside.

Ej: I–I–I still don’t see what difference one more night would make.

Susan: Oh, honey, I’m sorry. Sorry, elvis, you know what, but mama’s made up her mind. Mm-hmm. I love you so much. More than life itself, elvis.

Ej: I–

Susan: But I have to do this.

Ej: I love you too. I–

Susan: I just want you take care of yourself, okay?

Johnny: See you later, grandma.

Ej: What just happened?

Tripp: Hey. Did miss price get home okay?

Lani: Mm-hmm. Her driver dropped her off. I stuck around to check on a patient from one of my cases.

Tripp: Something I can help you with?

Lani: Nope. I just wanted to say thank you for taking such good care of paulina.

Tripp: It’s my pleasure. You know, she’s–she’s something else.

Lani: She sure is. Oh, and when you talk to allie, please thank her again too for being there for chanel.

Tripp: I will.

[Tense music]

Demon johnny: Goodbye, pesky granny, and good riddance. That goes for you, too, chanel.

[Eerie music]

Mortals and your trinkets of affection. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Steffy: I hope you saved room for dessert.

Taylor: Oh my gosh, is that what I think it is?

Steffy: Yes, it’s still your favorite, right?

Taylor: Yes. Oh, you are spoiling me.

Tey: Iilinda t’s ri.T a

Taylor: Mm. He’s coming over?

Steffy: Yeah, I texted him. Tried to entice him. Well… not that he needs enticing or anything.

Taylor: Is that supposed to–

Steffy: Like obviously, there’s something still going on, like you guys have this energy–

Hope: Knock, knock! Hello?

Steffy: Come on in. Hey, come on in, what’s going on?

Hope: Um, well. Douglas lost his football again, and he thinks that he left it here. Have you seen it?

Taylor: Yeah, I think it’s on the patio.

Hope: Okay, perfect. I’ll just grab it on my way out then.

Steffy: Yeah, go do it. We’re just having dessert, so.

Taylor: Do you want to join us?

Hope: Oh.

Steffy: Yeah, dad’s coming, too. He loves my banana cream pie.

Hope: Actually, I’m not so sure that ridge is going

Brooke: I relapsed,

I started drinking again.

Of course, I’m feeling guilty.

As far as that kiss

and ending up in bed with you.

Look, we’re going to need to

just keep this a secret, okay?

Forever.

Ridge: Logan. You went back to new year’s eve again, didn’t you?

Paris: Mom, I still can’t believe you’re here.

Mrs. Buckingham: Should i have warned you first?

Paris: No, no. I’m so happy that you’re here. I just didn’t know you were planning a visit.

Mrs. Buckingham: Oh, I missed my baby girl.

Paris: I miss you too, mom.

Mrs. Buckingham: Actually, I’ve never been good at surprises and would never have pulled this one off, either. Not without zende’s help.

Zende: I mean, am I being paranoid wondering if paris is interested in another guy? That she wants to take a chance to see where things might lead? And that she has been sending me this gentle message that there might be some competition? Because if that is the case, I want a name.Th

Carter: A name?

Zende: The guy I’m up against. Who is he? Do I know him? What his intentions are as far as paris is concerned?

Zende: I’m very protective of paris. True, my proposal never got off the ground, but we’re still dating and I’ll always look out for her, even if…

Carter: If what?

Zende: I don’t want to get ahead of myself. I don’t know that there’s another guy that paris might like. But if there is, there is no way that I’m just going to give up and step aside.

Paris: Did you come here straight from the airport?

Mrs. Buckingham: Yes.

Paris: You should’ve told me I could have picked you up.

Mrs. Buckingham: And ruin the chance to pull zende into my grand surprise? He’s a really great guy, you know. If I was just a few years younger, whoo–

Paris: Mother!

Mrs. Buckingham: He’s also sweet and charming. I am very happy you are dating such a fine young man as zende forester.

Brooke: There’s nowhere you got to be?

Ridge: I’m exactly where I need to be right here. I’m sorry I wasn’t here before.

Brooke: All those years of sobriety. Just gone. In one night. It was my weakness, my…. my mistake. And now…

Ridge: Now, you can do everything in your power to make sure it doesn’t happen again. And you’re doing it, starting with this meeting today. Gotta tell you, seeing– seeing you up there, standing up and… telling everybody the truth. So proud of you, I just don’t know where you get that strength. Strength to do that and the strength to face every day. But you can do me a favor, stop beating yourself up over this. Okay?

Brooke: Okay.

Steffy: Hope’s right, dad can’t make it, he’s spending time with brooke at her house.

Hope: It’s ridge’s home too, steffy.

Steffy: I didn’t mean anything by that.

Hope: No, I’m sorry. I don’t know why I said that.

Taylor: Hope, is everything okay with your mom? Steffy mentioned something was going on with her.

Steffy: Yeah, what is it? You know, you can tell us, hope.

(Ziploc bag opening)

Zende: I know it sounds crazy, almost nobody knew that I was going to propose that night, but the way that things went down, it just seemed like someone had tipped her off about the proposal. Not that it matters. Paris’s answer would have still been the same. She’s just not ready for marriage.

Carter: Even though you are?

Zende: I appreciate her honesty. But between you and me, carter, it was a big kick in the gut. I was hoping that paris and i would be engaged right now.

Mrs. Buckingham, I hope I don’t sound like a meddling mother, and that’s the last thing I want to be. But I follow zende both online and in the press ever since you told me that you were dating. Not only is he talented and successful, but he’s also a very good person with a good heart. And plus, he comes from a wonderful family who’s embraced you, and that makes him a winner in my book. Obviously in yours… okay. Of course I… I could be misreading things.

Paris: What do you mean?

Mrs. Buckingham: You and zende. Is there something going on between you two I should know about?

Brooke: I can’t imagine my life without you, ridge.

Ridge: Oh, that’s good, because you’re stuck with me.

Brooke: Yeah, well, I don’t make it very easy on you.

Ridge: I’ve never made it easy for you. We’re still here. Still together after all these years. Says something about our love story, right? Whatever life hands us, we’ll deal with it. Right? Without blaming each other, without shame.

[Sighing]

Brooke: Yeah. I’m hearing you. I am. I’M… I’m trying and I…

[Clearing throat] I appreciate your support more than anything. And hope’s too.

Ridge: What’s going on?

[Sighing]

Brooke: I’m just… just thinking about my daughter. You know, I don’t like how she… feels like she’s responsible for what happened.

Taylor: Obviously, you’re concerned about your mother.

Hope: Yes. I mean, it’s no secret that I have brought some added stress to my mother and ridge’s marriage because I want to have a relationship with my father.

Taylor: Yeah, I’ve heard that there were some issues with that, but I also was under the impression that your mom and ridge were working through all that.

Hope: Yes, that’s true. They’re working through a challenging time. I just want to make sure that they’re given space and that you not see it as an opportunity, taylor.

With less moderate-to-severe

eczema,

Zende: I know how this probably is coming off, like I’m throwing myself this big pity party.

Carter: No, man. Not at all.

Zende: It’s just, I still believe in a future with paris. Maybe I was just going too fast in my head. I don’t know. Well, I’m thankful that I get to spend some time with paris’s mom now that she’s in town. I think it’s good for paris to have some family in L.A., Regardless of how brief it might be.

Carter: Yeah, I agree. I know how much paris has missed her mom. What?

Zende: I was just thinking, you have been such a good friend to both paris and me. I really appreciate it carter. I know that paris thinks very highly of you.

Paris: So, mom, this opportunity at university hospital, you seriously considering taking it?

Mrs. Buckingham: Unless you can think of a reason why I shouldn’T.

Paris: No, no, it would be so fun having you here, we can hang out together.

Mrs. Buckingham: Oh my god, honey, that is so sweet. But you have your own life and between your work at the forrester foundation and your relationship with zende, I doubt you have a lot of free time.

Paris: I will always make time for you. I love you, mom.

Mrs. Buckingham: Oh, I love you too, my sweet girl. More than I can say.

Ridge: Hey, hope is not responsible for this. No one is responsible. Staying sober is a daily battle, right?

Brooke: A battle that I lost that night, and I still don’t even understand why. I don’t understand what drove me to drink. Yes, I was upset that you didn’t come home, but that couldn’t have been it, ridge, there… there had to have been more.

Ridge: All right, listen to me. It really doesn’t matter right now. What matters is we’ve got to fix the problem. You’re doing it. You’re going to meetings. Got rid of all the booze in the house. And I’m proud of you, your daughter is proud of you because you’re so strong. We’ll figure this out as a family. I know you want to know what the trigger was. We all do and we will find it. And when we do, we’ll deal with it and it’s going to be another victory for us. It’s going to make our family stronger, I promise you. Yes? Okay.

Taylor: What kind of opportunity, hope, what are you implying?

Steffy: Wait, this is the real reason you stopped by, it’s not about getting douglas’ football. You came here to confront my mom.

Hope: No, no, no, not at all. This was not meant to be a confrontation, but I do think it needs to be said.

Taylor: What needs to be said, hope? Tell me.

[Sighing]

Hope: Look, I’m well aware that you didn’t just leave town for your job. It was also about your feelings for ridge. And obviously, I mean, that’s your ex-husband, that’s steffy and thomas’s dad, and you had a life and a family together.

Steffy: We still do.

Hope: Yes. But I also know that in the past, you have also blamed my mom in some ways and thought that she stole that from you.

Steffy: Okay, hope, can you just get to your point?

Hope: The point is, I am glad that you’re back in town, taylor, I just… I hope that you and your daughter remember that ridge is no longer married to you. He’s married to my mother. With age comes more…

Mrs. Buckingham: It still amazes me what you’ve accomplished for yourself at such a young age. Both my girls! Look at you, working for forrester creations and all the wonderful work the foundation does for people around the world. Thanks to you in no small part, to your leadership and your vision.

Paris: Spoken like a truly unbiased mom.

Mrs. Buckingham: Of course, there’s also your involvement with zende. Not that I’m trying to play matchmaker. But if you would allow your mother a word of advice. Don’t make the same mistake I did. Choose your significant other carefully. Someone from a good family, someone with strong morals and integrity. It’s not just about money and position and standing, it’s about finding the right foundation to build your life and your future on. Could that man be zende?

Zende: I think I’m going to hold on to that ring. Maybe one day I’ll get to slip it on to paris’ finger. Still, I keep coming back to that one thing.

Carter: What’s that?

Zende: If there is another guy who’s caught paris’s attention, who could it be?

Brooke: Come on, deacon.

Come on, slug one back

with me, buddy, old pal.

Deacon, it’s gonna haunt me.

It’s gonna haunt me forever.

Ridge: Sorry, this happened to you. Here.

Brooke: Okay, thanks. Mm.

Ridge: It’s one night.

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: It’s the past. See if we can focus on the future. Hi.

Brooke: Hi.

Ridge: Come here.

Steffy: Look hope, I’m not entirely sure what’s going on with dad and brooke, but it is his life, his future. Whatever he decides, it’s his decision.

Hope: But he’s already made his decision and he is married to my mom.

Steffy: And I’m aware of that. So is mom. But we are aware that dad has been through a lot, and most of it is because of you and brooke.

Hope: Are you talking about my dad?

Steffy: Deacon. Yeah, I am. My dad despises him. For good reason. And instead of listening to his warnings, you and brooke are welcoming him with open arms despite all of the pain and shame he’s caused.

Hope: Okay, that was before, and he is a different man now.

Steffy: Right. Because deacon says he is, and you’re desperate to believe that. But how do you know he’s changed? I get that he’s your father and you can’t be totally objective. But brooke is a whole different story. She was caught in this discussing messy scandal. And here she is, welcoming deacon back into her life, even though dad is really upset about it. But does she care? Is she worried about him. His concerns, his pleas?

Taylor: Okay, honey–

Steffy: Mom, no, no, no, no. I know, I definitely need to say something. Because even though dad and brooke are married, whatever he decides in the long run is up to him. Not to you. Not to brooke.

Hope: I’ve heard that you’re planning on staying in L.A. And you’ve already opened up a practice, and I am thrilled for you. Uh, I’m sure steffy and thomas are happy to have you back. I just ask… to respect my mother and ridge’s marriage. They’re deeply in love, and I don’t want anything to disrupt that. We’ve… we’ve been in a good place lately and I just want to keep the peace, so I want to make sure that that is understood by both of you. Is that clear?

Steffy: Wow.

Michael: Mmm. [ Smooches ]

Lauren: Mmm!

Michael: I am so happy that you said yes.

[ Smooches ]

Lauren: Which time?

Michael: All of them.

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Michael: Including now.

Lauren: You were quite mysterious on the phone when you asked me to meet you here.

Michael: Ah. Well, mystery solved.

[ Clears throat ] I won in court.

Lauren: The big fraud case you’ve been prosecuting? Oh, I’m so happy for you! Congratulations.

Michael: Hearing you say it out loud makes the victory even sweeter.

Lauren: So, this isn’t any just normal meet-and-greet. This is a celebration.

Michael: If you insist.

Lauren: I do. Andy, will you bring us a bottle of champagne, please? This deserves a toast. I am so happy for you. You are on one heck of a winning streak.

Michael: Yeah, well, there have been a few losses in there along the way.

Lauren: Don’t be so modest. You are the best prosecutor out there. You, my love, are at the pinnacle of your career.

Michael: Hmm. Funny you should say that. Driving over here, I had the same thought in my head.

Lauren: Oh?

Michael: Mm. I’ve climbed the mountain. I’ve reached the apex. And now that I am here…

Lauren: You’re wondering if you can go any higher.

Michael: The opposite, actually. One phrase keeps, uh, going around in my mind. “Quit while you’re ahead.”

Michael: You know, I’ve been so fortunate over the years. I’ve been able to practice every type of law that piqued my interest — civil, corporate, criminal, for both the defense and the prosecution.

Lauren: You are the best district attorney this town has ever seen. It doesn’t get better.

Michael: Precisely. Which makes me think that maybe I should leave on a high note.

Lauren: And do what?

Michael: Smell the proverbial roses. Start researching that mystery novel I’ve always wanted to write.

Lauren: Okay. You know, this is a rare occurrence, but I actually can’t tell if you’re being serious or not.

Michael: Assume that I am.

Lauren: Honey, this is not the first time you’ve talked about walking away after a particularly grueling case. Maybe you just need a break.

Michael: It’s not about needing a break. It’s about taking my life in a different direction. Like, I was walking out of the courthouse today, and I started thinking about everything I’ve accomplished. And it made me very proud, and i felt a very deep sense of contentment. And isn’t that the way everybody wants to feel when they’re ready to retire from their job?

Christine: Retire? I was just picking up a takeout order, and I couldn’t help overhearing. I’m — I’m so sorry.

Michael: It is interesting timing.

Lauren: Yes, very interesting, as you were the one who tossed your D.A. Baton to michael when you decided to step down.

Michael: Join us, unless you’ve got plans.

Christine: Well, I — I don’t see my to-go order ready, but, uh…

Michael: Yeah. Have a drink. Sit. Sit. Sit.

Christine: Okay, yeah, a quick one.

Lauren: [ Chuckles ] Okay, so, you heard what michael just said. What went through your mind?

Christine: Well, if he’s serious about leaving law or even the D.A.’S office, it would truly be the end of an era in this town.

Michael: Well, nobody, not even my wonderful wife here

[Sighs] Understands that quite as well as you do. I gave christine her first job with a law firm.

Michael: So. How do you feel?

Christine: Do you remember “the wizard of oz”? The yellow brick road, the- beginning of it?

Michael: Yes.

Christine: That’s me.

Michael: Perfect analogy.

Christine: I’m a little nervous. Not nervous. More excited.

Michael: Well, you should be. This is the start of your career. One of the biggest days in your life. Welcome to whitman, walker & wilson, christine.

Christine: Thanks.

Michael: [ Chuckles ]

Christine: You have certainly come a long way since then. A lot of people think dealing with copd

Christine: Law school was just a warm-up compared to what I learned from you. I felt so lucky to be your protégé, observing you in court, listening to you strategize. Your mind was so brilliant. I was literally in awe.

Michael: Until you met the other side of me — the egomaniac who knew he was the smartest person in the room, who thought everyone should be grateful just to sit at the feet of the master and do whatever he asked. That was me, too, back then. I excelled at power plays and mind games. But I underestimated you.

Christine: A little.

Michael: And when I crossed the line, you fought back,& dragged me to court, exposed my abhorrent behavior, and won. And instead of being humbled, i was outraged that I lost my job and my reputation. I was consumed with revenge.

Michael: Just a few more holes and I’ll punch through this wall.

[ Grunts ] Ah, it won’t be long now, christine.

Michael: I wasn’t in my right mind. That’s the only way to describe it. I was obsessed, violent, furious. And though I didn’t know it at the time, winding up in prison, hitting rock bottom were some of the best things that ever happened to me. Spending a few years behind bars gave me a new appreciation for everything I’d just thrown away. And I — I counted the moments until i would be released and could start over again.

Christine: [ Sighs ] You claimed you had this epiphany. I doubted you, to say the least.

Michael: Yeah, well, i couldn’t very well blame you for that. But I knew. I knew if you would give me a second chance, if you would speak on my behalf to the wisconsin bar so I could get my law license back…it would make all the difference.

Christine: Why should I give you the time of day? Let alone help you —

Michael: I understand why you’d feel this way. I do. Just as I hope you understand that this is eating me up inside, not being able to use my training as an attorney. I really believe that’s why god put me on this earth.

Christine: Then you took that god-given talent and did what with it? You used it as a big power trip.

Michael: How many times do i have to say this?

Christine: You’re a changed man, right? The monster who did all those things doesn’t exist.

Michael: Look, you have every reason in the world to be skeptical.

Christine: [ Scoffs ] Well, thank you.

Michael: This just means so much to me. You can help me more than anyone else can, christine. But first you have just — you’ve got to believe me. I swear to you with every fiber of my being, I am changed. I am sincere. I want to practice law again. And if you help me, I promise you I will never, ever forget it.

Michael: I’ve given thanks every day since that you found a way to overcome those doubts. I mean, you — you restored my career. I mean, she even agreed to come work with me again.

Christine: Baldwin, williams and associates.

Michael: We can put your name first if you like.

Christine: No, no, it sounds better this way.

Michael: Well, then let’s put pen to paper.

Christine: That’s where i really came into my own as a lawyer, and you and I became real friends and colleagues.

Lauren: To the chagrin of paul, as I recall.

Michael: Oh. Yeah, well, he did take a little longer to trust that I was on the up-and-up. You know, I can’t blame him. It’s understandable, given our history. And I didn’t always make things easy for you.

Christine: Oh, yeah, you were no saint, to say the least.

Michael: But you were patient and kind. And you cut me an unending amount of slack. And it meant the world. Still does.

Lauren: So, what do you think about this, uh, question du jour?

Christine: [ Chuckles ] Retirement?

Lauren: What do you think about this dilemma? I mean, should he or shouldn’t he go out while he’s on top? Your dry skin story changes

Christine: If you’re asking for my advice, I really can’t give you any. Only michael will know when he’s ready to wind down his legal career and maybe try his hand at something else.

Lauren: Well, he is multitalented. Not many people realize that. He’s clever.

Christine: Hey, you could do stand-up.

Michael: Yeah, no.

Christine: No.

Lauren: You do have this childlike curiosity about the world. It’s a true gift. And last week you were on this conference call, and you were sketching on a legal pad. It was this — this cottage and woods. It was — it was so good.

Michael: I wouldn’t go that far.

Lauren: Well, I would, and this isn’t just the wife bragging about you. You could be an artist. That’s no joke.

Christine: Have you been holding out on us?

Lauren: [ Laughs ] He could probably excel at anything he put his mind to.

Michael: That’s just the point. I haven’t got a clue on what that might be.

Christine: Okay, but you will. You just have to do some more soul-searching. For me, the writing was on the wall. I knew it was time for me to leave the D.A.’S office, but you gave me the perfect opportunity.

Michael: No regrets?

Christine: No, none. I love doing pro bono work. It gives me such satisfaction to help people, and I get to spend more time with my husband.

Lauren: Wait a minute. Are we talking about the work-life balance? Hmm. That just might be a new concept for one of us.

Michael: Unfortunately, that’s true.

Lauren: You thrive on adrenaline, the kind that you get from arguing in front of a jury. Are you going to be happy with this calmer, quieter existence?

Victor: Now, wait a minute.

Michael: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: Calm and quiet and michael baldwin?

Michael: Victor.

Victor: Why don’t those three things go together?

Christine: Right? Good to see you, victor.

Victor: Hello, christine. Nice to see you.

Christine: Nice to see you. I see my to-go order, so I will let lauren and michael explain everything to you. Thank you for the drink, and good luck with your deliberations.

Michael: I’m sure I’ll need it.

Victor: Okay.

Michael: Please, sit. Sit.

Victor: Thank you.

Lauren: Yes.

Victor: What a nice surprise.

Michael: Here we go.

Victor: Thank you, sir.

Lauren: Thank you.

Victor: Well, my god. A glass of champagne?

Lauren: Yes.

Michael: Uh-huh.

Victor: Whoa. So, what deliberations was christine talking about?

Lauren: Michael won a big case in court today.

Michael: Which inspired me to float the idea of retirement.

Victor: What are you talking about?

Michael: All good things must come to an end, and perhaps it’s best to take charge of when and how that happens.

Victor: I understand all that, but retirement?

Michael: Why not?

Victor: Who do you think you’re talking to? You’d be bored out of your skull within three weeks. Trust me.

[ Laughing ] You know that.

Michael: Look…

Victor: What?

Michael: …Give me some credit for wanting to explore life out from behind my desk. I mean, there are plenty of things to fill my time. I can — I can be a more attentive husband. I can play with my niece and nephew, visit fenmore.

Victor: Well, now, listen. I understand you wanting to spend time with your family. I really do, you know? I’ve done the same. But I’ve kept one hand in newman enterprise business.

Michael: Surprising exactly no one.

Victor: Why don’t you follow my example?

Michael: Which is?

Victor: Join newman media. We need your expertise. We need your talent.

Lauren: “We” meaning youand adam?

Victor: Unbeknownst to both of you, adam has matured a great deal. And besides that, you would only be answer to me.

Michael: Well [Sighs] Somehow I don’t see this as the halfway point between being district attorney and kicking back in a lounge chair. I mean, working for you requires that I be on call 24/7 as an attorney and a fixer and, perhaps, wading into some murky waters ethically.

Victor: But you’re so damn good at it.

Michael: [ Sighs ]

Lauren: Hey, now!

Michael: No, wait. Now, hold on. I admit it. I admit it. I found it thrilling to find the perfect loophole and seeing how far I could push things without getting caught. And in that sense, we were a good match back then. But for every occasion that we were in sync, there were other, far less pleasant times.

Michael: You have every right to be disappointed in me. I have let you down terribly. But, victor, I swear to you, nothing like this will ever happen again.

Victor: You’re damn right it won’T. You’re the best damn lawyer i ever had. What the hell were you thinking? It’s going to cost me millions of dollars. Millions of dollars! And I don’t like to lose! You’re fired.

Victor: Well, now, you and i have had a rather tumultuous professional relationship, but, you know… listen. I know you. You have so much energy. Where are you gonna put it? You need to channel it somewhere.

Lauren: I second that.

Victor: Right. And one thing I promise you — you’ll not be bored working for me. You know that.

[ Chuckles ]

Get ready. It’s time for

the savings event of the year.

Michael: While that’s a very flattering offer, this conversation is extremely premature.

Victor: Well, now, why don’t I address your concerns right now? So when you’re ready to consider, you know what the parameters are.

Michael: Alright, I’ll hear you out, but no promises.

Victor: First of all, you will set your own hours. I will no longer dominate your time 24 hours a day.

Michael: Will you put that in writing?

Victor: Oh, yeah. Gladly. And then of course you would be compensated very well, in accordance with your extensive experience and talents.

Michael: Oh, that’s a good thing — because I wouldn’t come cheap. But it’s really not about the money.

Victor: No, it isn’T.

[ Sighs ] You and I have been working together for how many years now? My god. Too many to tell. And we have learned to trust each other, which is the most important thing in business.

Victor: I will not let you take the fall for me.& You got that? You go to christine blair, you tell her you’ll make whatever deal she wants to as long as it gives you the most immunity.

Michael: No, I don’t like this, victor.

Victor: I’m ordering you to do it.

Michael: That’s how igot in trouble in the first place — taking your orders.

Victor: You tell christine blair if she wants me to come to my office.

Michael: Victor, I can handle this. Let me do this for you.

Victor: Michael baldwin, let me explain something to you. All my life I’ve been accused of not taking responsibility for the consequences of my actions, that I’m ruthless and unfeeling. It ain’t so. You will not take the rap for me. I’m responsible for this. This was my idea and my plan, my scheme. I will suffer the consequences, not you. End of story.

Michael: I’ve never respected you more than I did that day.

Victor: I appreciate that. Now, I’ve come what I had to say. And nice to see you, lauren, okay?

Lauren: So great to see you, as always.

Victor: If you need any further information, you know where to reach me, alright?

Michael: Thank you.

Victor: Nice to see you. Bye, lauren.

Michael: [ Laughs ]

Lauren: What is so funny?

Michael: [ Groans ] I haven’t even decided to leave my job, and I’ve already got another one waiting for me.

Lauren: Well, I doubt that would be the only offer. Does that change how you feel about things?

Michael: It complicates things.

Lauren: How so?

Michael: When I first brought up the subject, I only considered two options — district attorney or retired district attorney. But now that I’ve talked to victor and christine…

Lauren: You’ve seen that there’s a lot of other possibilities.

Michael: [ Sighs ] I think I just — I just need to get a handle on what life would be like if I am no longer

[Sighs] Putting genoa city’s criminals behind bars.

Lauren: I couldn’t agree more. So while you and victor had your heads together, I decided I’d better bring in some reinforcements.

[ Laughs ]

Gloria: Oh, thank you, lauren, for reaching out.

Kevin: The gang’s all here!

Chloe: With tons of conflicting opinions to choose from!

Lauren: Oh, yay! Well, I texted your brother, told him what was going on, and this is such a big decision. I thought you needed your family’s support and perspective.

Michael: Have you met my family?

Gloria: Ohh! Now, now!

Michael: Alright, listen, listen, I’m sure your intentions are good, but sound advice just — it doesn’t immediately leap to mind.

Lauren: Not always, but you did say you wanted to look at this from all angles, and what better way to do that with your family, who knows you and loves you best?

Kevin: Yeah.

Michael: [ Shudders ]

[ Laughter ]

“The young and the restless”

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

Michael: Ahh, isn’t this a cozy party of five?

Lauren: Well, it would have been six, but your best friend is tied up at work.

Michael: Well, I’m sure phyllis would be on my side, so let’s just assume she’s on team whatever-michael-decides.

Gloria: What’s that supposed to mean? That some of us are not on your side?

Michael: I didn’t mean to offend you, gloria.

Gloria: I hope not. Because personally I think this is wonderful that we’ve all come together on such short notice to offer our insights.

Kevin: Like a regular family, mom. Not like the one we used to be.

Michael: [ Chuckles ]

Chloe: Perish the thought.

Gloria: Who wants to rehash the past, when you and michael couldn’t always depend on me? I mean, who wants to go there, huh? I certainly don’T.

Gloria: You won’t forgive me for being a rotten mother when you were young. You won’t allow me to take care of you now, when I can be the best mother I could ever be. What do you want from me?

Michael: [ Scoffs ] Oh, yeah. You’re all full of maternal love now. One has to wonder when you’ll tell your husband who your children are.

Gloria: Michael —

Michael: You talk about love? Love for your sons, love for this man you can never be honest with. And you claim you deserve —

deserved — to be looked at with new eyes. And you haven’t done anything to deserve it! And the only way that can happen… is no more lies, no more manipulations, just being who and what you are, for better or worse!

Gloria: [ Chuckles ] Okay, okay. It took me a while. But I think you all have to agree that I have grown into my role.

Kevin: As lady macbeth?

[ Laughter ]

Michael: [ Coughs ]

Gloria: As your fabulous, if unconventional, maternal figure to both of my sons.

Lauren: Did fen send us some mutant fruit basket or something?

Michael: Scott sent us the world’s largest ham.

Lauren: [ Laughs ] Well, come on. Let’s open it up.

Michael: That’s why I have scissors.

Lauren: Well, wait, wait, wait, careful! I mean, what if it is fruit?

Gloria: Whoo!

Lauren: [ Screams ]

Gloria: [ Laughs ] Deck the halls, everybody. Gloria’s back. Oh, come on! Get me out of this thing! Come! Come, come, come!

[ Squeals, laughs ]

Michael: Uh, gloria, this — this — this…

Lauren: Quite a surprise.

Gloria: Of course! Well, I couldn’t leave my handsome sons alone on christmas. You and kevin are my life. Nowhere else I’d rather be.

[ Laughter ]

Michael: Well, your efforts have been appreciated.

Gloria: [ Laughs ] I would hope so.

[ Laughter ] Well, I have no right to throw stones, given the epic mistakes I’ve made in the past.

[ Groans ] None more egregious than failing you as an older brother when we were younger.

Kevin: [ Sighs ] You have more than made up for that.

Michael: I haven’t been a brother to you, not like i should have been. I was too wrapped up in my own stuff, you know… getting out of the hellhole we grew up in. And I, uh, left you behind. I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life. All I can say is, uh… I’m going to try to do better. No. [ Scoffs ] I am going to do better. That is a promise.

Kevin: [ Inhales sharply ] Hey. You know what? This is about the future, right? Or at least it’s supposed to be, so let’s all focus on some positivity, okay?

Chloe: Yeah.

Kevin: This man right here has stepped up for each and every one of us time and time again. And we are more than happy to be here supporting you.

Kevin: So then you leave, right? And I wondered if we’d ever really be brothers again. Um, and — and I — I doubted it, you know? But I think there was this one part of me that never stopped believing. So, uh — [ Chuckles ] So, now look at us, you know? Everything that I hoped for when I looked at that picture is coming true. You know, we’re happy and we’re together and, uh… and I’m gonna stand up for you, you know, on the most important day of your life, mikey. And I’m really proud of you.

Lauren: You know, this reminiscing has been lovely. But I called you here because michael is at a crossroads.

Michael: To retire or not to retire?

Kevin: I think the answer’s clear.

Chloe: I mean, it’s pretty obvious.

Kevin: Mm-hmm. Don’t do it!

Chloe: Get out now!

Lauren: Uh…

[ Laughing ] What?

Chloe: Don’t listen to him.

If you have postmenopausal

osteoporosis

Michael: Feel free to elaborate.

Chloe: The very fact that you are trying to decide if you should retire says it all. You’re ready.

Michael: Oh, you think so, huh?

Chloe: You are the best of the best at what you do. There’s nothing left to prove — to anyone. And I think it’s time for you to kick back and relax. Do the things that you’ve always wanted to do but couldn’T. You deserve it.

Michael: I have to say that sounds appealing.

Kevin: Totally. Except the kicking back and relaxing part — not gonna happen.

Chloe: [ Scoffs ]

Kevin: And I personally dread the idea of michael with too much time on his hands.

Lauren: [ Chuckles ]

Kevin: How are you gonna fill your endless days once the novelty of all that time and freedom wears off? You gonna play more squash?

[ Laughter ] Watch tv? Make little paperweights out of old golf balls?

Gloria: [ Laughs ]

Michael: That sounded pretty great till that last one.

[ Laughter ]

Kevin: Michael! Come on. Get real. With all that extra time on your hands, you are going to drive the rest of us crazy. He’s gonna come over, constantly offering advice about what we’re doing, what we should be doing.

Michael: I think that’s a bit of an exaggeration, right?

Lauren: Well, yes and…

Chloe: [ Laughs ]

Gloria: I think your brother is spot on. You will get on everybody’s nerves. And, mikey, you’ve never been big on hobbies.

[ Laughter ] If you retire — and that is a very big “if” because we all know that I am much too young to be the mother of a retiree — so you will have to find something to fill the void. If you don’t want to be a D.A. Any longer, fine. But you’re gonna have to get some kind of job.

Kevin: Why not? There’s no rule saying you have to practice law the rest of your life.

Chloe: Okay, enough. Enough already. Michael is smart, and I think he gets the gist. There’s no wrong way you can go.

Kevin: I just think if you…

Gloria: I know, but if you ask me —

Chloe: Stop it! Stop! Stop it. Enough already, okay? You have given your thoughts, and now michael will do with them what he will. And it is his life. And we support him no matter what he decides. Right?

Gloria: Of course.

Kevin: Right.

Lauren: Okay. Well, that’s that then.

Gloria: Okay, so, why don’t we leave so lauren and michael can contemplate further on their own.

Michael: Look, everyone, thank you. Thank you for coming, and i mean that. Mwah! Mmm! Ah, my favorite.

[ Laughter ]

Chloe: Thanks for the drink.

Michael: You are most welcome.

Kevin: Let us know what you decide.

Michael: Ah, you’ll be one of the first. Love you. Mwah!

Kevin: Love you. Bye.

Lauren: Bye.

Michael: Thank you, brother.

Lauren: Well…

Michael: [ Chuckles ]

Lauren: …That was fun.

Michael: Oh, it was very enlightening.

Lauren: Oh. You think so?

Michael: Mm-hmm. I’m glad you brought them into the mix. That little confab helped me gain some clarity.

Lauren: Really? ‘Cause I sort of thought that —

Michael: Oh, that we were back to square one? No. No, no, no, no, no. They made me realize that i don’t need or want anyone else’s advice but yours.

Lauren: Aww.

Michael: It’s the only opinion that really matters. And we may be discussing my career, but it’s our future we’re talking about. The next weigh station on that journey that began with… oh, my gosh, I haven’t thought of this in a long time.

Lauren: What?

Michael: Our first kiss.

[ Both laugh ] Remember?

Lauren: YeaH. I do.

Lauren: I’m not sure we’re in the same place.

[ Soft jazz music playing ]

Michael: It sure feels like it to me.

Lauren: Oh, I have to think about paul, and then there’s kevin to consider and —

Michael: Mnh-mnh, no, no, no. You know, thinking is highly overrated.

Lauren: Michael…

Michael: Mnh-mnh.

Michael: When we said “I do,” we didn’t mean sometimes, we didn’t mean when it was convenient. We meant forever and always.

Michael: I promise to spend the rest of my days trying to be the man that I see in your eyes when you look at me. So I’m asking you, lauren fenmore, in front of all these people… walk through life with me. Grow old along with me. The best is yet to be. The last of life, for which the first was made.

Michael: [ Chuckles ] I still don’t know what I did to deserve you.

Lauren: [ Chuckles ]

Michael: But you get me in a way no one else does.

Lauren: That’s because you don’t hold anything back.

Michael: Being a lawyer is a huge part of my identity. But…the best part of me is what I have with you.

Michael: They have to have some really good, uh, manuals on being a father because this kid is gonna have to be all about nurture and not nature.

Lauren: Okay, don’t you be scared by this. You are not the man that you were.

Michael: I’m not the man i was five minutes ago. You’re pregnant.

Lauren: So…boy? Girl? What do you think?

Michael: As long — as long as it’s not some little green alien, I’m happy.

Lauren: Are you happy?

Michael: Yeah, I’m happy. I’m — I’m s– scared. Overwhelmed. [ Chuckles ]

Lauren: You did say happy, right?

Michael: Yeah. I love you so much. And, look, I’m gonna — I’m gonna do my damndest to be the very best father this baby could —

[ Laughs ] We’re gonna have a baby.

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Michael: We’re gonna have a baby. We’re gonna be parents.

Lauren: I know! I know. So, papa…

Michael: [ Smooches ]

Lauren: …Come to mama.

[ Both laugh ]

Michael: My greatest legacy will be our family.

Lauren: I’m grateful every day for the strong marriage that we’ve built.

Michael: I think we’re stronger now than we’ve ever been because of the challenges we’ve faced and overcome.

Lauren: That’s a really nice way of saying it that way. I almost destroyed what we built, and, um…it’s really a miracle that we made it through.

Michael: It took a lot of hard work. But we made it… because you and I were meant to be…as husband and wife and mother and father.

Lauren: Oh.

Michael: It’s a compass?

Lauren: It’s beautiful.

Fen: I guess it’s kind of a symbol, um… this whole road and journey of mine has been so difficult, but you guys have been there every step of the way, guiding me and loving me without ever judging or even saying, like, a — a harsh word. And, um…I-I just — I can’t thank you guys enough. You saved my life.

Lauren: I feel like we’re at a place where, no matter what happens, we’re gonna be okay. And you, my love — you’re going to be okay no matter what path you choose.

Our hillshire farm craftsman

Michael: I’m ready.

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Michael: Bring it.

Lauren: Uh…

Michael: Tell me what i should do with the rest of my life.

Lauren: I think you should choose the path that makes you the happiest. I know. I know. You wanted something far more direct from me, but that’s all you’re gonna get.

Michael: And that’s okay. Because I’ve already made up my mind.

Lauren: You have?

Michael: It’s clear that i need to retire because having more time to spend with you

[Sighs] Is what will make me the happiest.

Lauren: You are just the sweetest man ever.

Michael: I speak only the truth.

Lauren: Are you sure?

Michael: I’m positive.

[ Romantic music plays ]

Michael: Mm-hmm.

Lauren: Uh-huh.

Michael: So, this is what you want.

Lauren: That’s right.

Michael: You just want me cheap and easy and dirty.

Lauren: So cheap.

Michael: Oh, yeah?

Lauren: Yeah.

Michael: Like a piece of meat.

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Lauren: From this moment on, we are living happily ever after.

Michael: I have never loved you any more than I do right now.

Lauren: I love you, too. Let’s get this party started.

Michael: But I’m tellin’ ya, that’s gonna be itchy in there, so…

Lauren: That’s alright. I’ll do the scratchin’.

Michael: You know, I can’t believe this.

Lauren: Come on. Come on.

Michael: Aah!

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Michael: [ Growls ] Come here! Ahh!

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Lauren: I love you so much. We’ve had such a great adventure, haven’t we?

Michael: [ Chuckles ] And we’ve only just started.

Lauren: [ Laughs ] Ooh! [ Laughs ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Glass rattling ] Frank: Mayor collins. Sonny: Huh? Hey. Laura, good to see you. Hey.

[ Laughs ] I’m so glad you’re home. You know, when I thought I was never gonna see you again, it was just such a terrible feeling. It’s good to see you. I’m so happy. I missed you. I see you poured yourself a drink. Yeah. Have you heard the news? What news? Oh, okay. I’m gonna — I’m sorry that I have to tell you this. It’s about luke.

[ Sobs ] Are you telling me… that luke died? Yeah.

[ Exhales deeply ] I’m so sorry. Wow. You look beautiful. Thanks. What’s the matter? I found this in my locker.

[ Laughs ] No, if we keep this up, we’re gonna end up back in my bed. Sounds like a plan to me.

[ Giggles ] We’re acting like teenagers. So, why should teenagers have all the fun?

[ Chuckles ] Hmm. If one’s good, two must be better, right?

[ Door closes ] Spencer: Esme? I must have just, uh, barely beat you home. What’s that? It’s my dinner from the metro court. After my meeting with ava, I didn’t want to eat there. But I wasn’t going to waste it since I paid for it. Wait, what? Ava made you pay with the money you make at kelly’s? Worse. She used my money from the trust fund to pick up the tab. Can you believe that? She’s throwing it in my face… that she’s in charge of my money. And, um, what did trina have for dinner? What? Trina. Or were you not gonna mention that trina was part of your restitution meeting? Hey, my meeting ran long. I’m on my way. I’ll join you in the conference room in like five minutes. Okay, thanks.

[ Receiver hangs up ] You’re not gonna make that meeting. Excuse me. I’m working. You were. And now you’re dealing with me.

Wouldn’t I tell you that trina was at my meeting with ava? My point exactly. Really [Clears throat] It was just another way for ava to humiliate me, because when I go to work for her after I serve my time at spring ridge, trina’s gonna be my supervisor. That’s outrageous. Ava’s really milking this restitution thing to death. Well, according to ava… I hurt trina’s feelings, as well. How does she figure that? Well, in fairness, I did douse her with fake blood. Which washed right off. Anyways, uh, are you hungry? We can split my steak. It’s medium rare. I have a better idea. Yes? No one else is home. And? Let’s, um, take advantage of the privacy. So, this is kinda awkward, right? Mom, you don’t have to apologize. Oh, I wasn’t — I wasn’t gonna apologize. And you know that I want you to be happy. No, no, no. I-I know that. I do. This is a, um, new dynamic for you and me, huh? So, I take it you had a good new year’s eve? Yes. Yes. Yeah, we did, actually. Uh, trina, so, uh, what are you doing with your winter time off from pcu? Uh, working at the gallery, hanging out. You know, my friends and i are going to joss’ family cabin in the mountains for a few days. Oh. That’s actually happening. I knew that it was in the works, but I-I-I wasn’t sure that it was planned. Yep. We’re definitely going. Tj. Hi. I was, uh — I was told I could find you up on this floor. Man, infectious diseases. Whew. Doesn’t sound like much fun to me. But are — are you enjoying it? I like helping people. Yes. Oh, great. Great. Um… hey, how was your new year’s eve? Did you and molly, uh, paint the town red? Okay, okay, I get it. I, uh… this is your work. I never should have come here. I’ll see you. That’s not it. Come with me. Finn: It’s your wedding ring from franco. Yes. Which I decided to take off. I remember. You said you were okay with the decision, but… if you’re having second thoughts, I completely understand. No, that’s not it. I haven’t changed my mind. My ring was in my locker. Yeah, you said that. I have no idea how it got there. Mm. I don’t know why this hurts me so much, you know? I think it’s the state that my family is in. Lucky’s so far away that I never even get to see him. Lulu… is still in the coma. And…there isn’t anybody to cry with. You know what I mean? Yeah. I can’t do it with bobbie. Well… she’s taking it all so hard. It’s her brother. I mean, you know. Luke alw– you know, always seemed to me like somebody who was gonna just live forever.

[ Inhales sharply ] I really meant to tell you and carly at the same time. Is she here? No, no, no. She’s out.

[ Sighs deeply ] Is everything okay? Uh, yeah, everything is… well, not really, but you know what? I don’t want to… you got too much to worry about at this time. How you doing? Really? Seriously? It’s hard. I liked knowing that he was out there somewhere. He was my partner for a really important part of my life. I know it was a long time ago. I mean, I’m a completely different person now. I like who I am now.

[ Both laugh ] You know, you are a mayor. It’s very impressive. Yeah. And I have kevin, and he’s my life partner now.

[ Inhales sharply ] I’m actually more worried about some of luke’s other loved ones. Well, I know how strong you are, and, uh, you have kevin, but I just want you to know if you ever need anything, you can come to me. Thank you. And that goes both ways. What do you want, carly? What I want is to never lay eyes on you again. Well, that would be a lot easier if you stayed out of my office. You know, you’re constantly claiming you don’t want to hurt my family. Because it’s true. Great. Then tell me what I want to hear. What exactly happened between you and my husband in nixon falls? I think that’s between you and your husband. Well, I disagree because you put yourself between me and sonny when you seduced him instead of telling him he had a family here in port charles. No, that’s not what happened. Great. Then tell me what happened. Well, you heard him on the stand, right, carly? I’m not gonna add to it. I am sorry that you found out the way you did, but I am trying to respect sonny’s wishes. Oh, you don’t get to do that. You don’t get to act all virtuous. You are so far from the high road, you’re underwater. And the only reason you kept your affair with sonny a secret is because you want to try and hang on to him. Are you kidding? I tried to leave sonny alone. He told me to stay away from him, and I did my best. Bull! You know that as long as you and sonny had a secret, that you were constantly attached to him, that you were always gonna be in his life. That is ridiculous! And it worked, right? I mean, how many times did you guys get together to keep your story straight, nina? Listen, I am not the one that drove sonny to get practically falling-down drunk at charlie’s on new year’s eve. If I wasn’t there, what — oh. Something else sonny decided not to tell you.

[ Knock on door ] Spence, someone’s at the door. Ignore it. Just answer it and make them go away.

[ Sighs ] Well, well. This is more private. We can talk in here. What do you want to talk about? I’m going to be straight with you. Okay. I am not willing to have a relationship with you if it makes my uncle uncomfortable. Wow. That, uh, really disappoints me, tj. Although I can’t say I’m surprised. Did curtis warn you off me? No, that’s not what happened. He was looking out for me, and I respect that. Wow. I had a brief moment of hope there when he came to see me at my hotel. He did? And I take it that it didn’t go well? Oh, no, it did not. I just can’t give curtis what he wants. Well, I want to hear all about this weekend trip. I know that you’re home for winter break, but still, we barely get a chance to see each other. Yeah, well, it’s not all on me. Besides, I’m sure curtis doesn’t want to hear about some weekend trip. Honestly, I don’t mind, but I think I should let you both have some mother-daughter time. You don’t have to go. What do you say, trina? Want to hang out with mom for a little while? I do. Uh, well, then, I will go check on tj, see what he’s been up to. And I’ll go get us a table. Okay.

[ Sighs ] Don’t get me wrong. I am so excited to spend some time with trina, and I can tell something’s going on with her, but I am just as sad to say goodbye to you. It’s only temporary. You… have fun with your daughter. Okay. The last time I saw this ring, I had put it in my kitchen drawer on new year’s eve. How did it get in my locker? Ahh. Do you think maybe one of the boys put it in your pocket and somehow it fell out in your locker? I-I don’t — I-I don’t have another explanation. But if that’s the case… then one of your sons might have a problem with me dating their mom. So, cyrus claims to have found religion?

[ Both laugh ] Yeah, it was quite a performance. He was quoting scripture, chapter and verse. Okay, well, that’s not sincere. No. By any chance, right? I don’t think so. It didn’t stop him from dropping hints about a new player who was filling the “power vacuum” that he left on the west coast. Right. So finding god has forced him to give up mob politics? Apparently not. I have no idea what game he’s playing right now, but honestly, it’s just, uh… it’s not my concern anymore.

[ Sighs ] Aw, man. Hey, sonny. Sonny? Hmm? You want to talk about it? Talk about what? Whatever it is that’s got you so upset that you’re… drinking alone and you’re breaking up things in your kitchen. You know what, laura?

[ Sighs ] I really screwed up this time. I don’t think carly and i are gonna be able to fix it. Nina: I found sonny on new year’s eve at charlie’s, trying to drown his pain after you turned your back on him. Carly, listen, all he wants is to be with you. Don’t tell me what sonny wants, okay?! I know my husband better than you ever will. Well, do you know where sonny is right now, or is that why you’re really here, carly? To make sure that he didn’t come to me after you spat in his face? Sonny came home, like he always will. Well, how generous of you to allow sonny to come back into his own home. You can save your sarcasm, nina. Your opinion means nothing to me. I’ve had it with you. You know what? I’ve had it. I can’t win. If I don’t talk about sonny, I’m hiding something. If I talk about sonny, then I’m a — you’re a conniving bitch, and you always will be.

This doesn’t make any sense. My boys were happy for me when I told them I was going out with you. I don’t think they would lie to me. Yeah. No. Maybe “lie” is a — a strong word. You know, maybe, uh — maybe one of them wants to feel happy for you. But deep down, it feels like that might be a rejection of his feelings for his stepdad. Or maybe it’s not about franco at all. I mean, maybe it’s about jason, you know? What jake’s feeling right now, maybe he doesn’t want to share his mom with anyone ’cause you’re all that he has. But if he felt that way, he would have told me. If it’s even jake we’re talking about. Is one of my boys that upset, he felt the only option was to put my wedding ring in my pocket? Maybe it is about franco then. One of the boys doesn’t want you moving on from his memory yet. So it looks like you and curtis are no longer “taking things slow.”

[ Giggles ] No, no, we’re — we’re past that point. Well, just to be clear, I’m happy for you. Thank you. I really appreciate that. So do you know what you’re gonna get for dinner? Oh, no. I’ll just have a coffee. Ava and spencer and i already ate. Spencer. Part of spencer’s plea deal includes restitution, so after he serves his time, he has to work in ava’s gallery for free. So we were meeting to go over his responsibilities. Plea deal? That’s lovely. You know what? We’ll just have coffee. Woman: Okay. Thank you. Well, it doesn’t look like you’re all that happy about that. I didn’t like the way ava used her power over spencer. Don’t get me wrong, spencer needs to learn his lesson, but she went out of her way to humiliate him. And I’ve never seen that side of her. Joss has. She can’t stand ava. Mm-hmm. Because of her brother. Morgan. That’s a really sad, ugly story. Morgan had bipolar disorder, and ava messed with his medication somehow. Anyway, morgan had a breakdown and was killed, and joss believes that it’s ava’s fault. And if I was in her situation, I’d feel the same, but ava’s been nothing but great to me. So I guess I just figured that ava made a mistake with morgan, and now she’s trying to make amends. I’m sure that’s true. But today, for the first time, I saw the ava joss has been warning me about — the one that spencer and joss despise. Well, it looks like to me that ava taught you a very important lesson today… mm. …Inadvertently. None of us are entirely good or entirely bad. We’re all capable of both. While ava may have been a wonderful mentor to you — and I know she was — that doesn’t make her beyond reproach. Uncle victor. Spencer, my boy, how are you? And, esme, lovely to see you, too. Hello, mr. Cassadine. Um, won’t you come in? Oh, thank you. Pull it together. What brings you by? Victor: Well, I was concerned, spencer. I dropped by kelly’s, and you weren’t working today. I had the day off. I needed to meet with ava to discuss the kind of work that I’d be doing for her to make restitution. Oh, I’m sorry. That couldn’t have been much fun. It wasn’T. In fact, I can’t even believe that I have to take orders from that woman. She loves lording that power over me. And if she or my father think that I’m gonna be crawling back to them anytime soon… oh, nonsense. You’ll meet with them with your head held high. What does that mean? What it means, spencer, is it’s time this family came together — all the cassadines — in a united front. I will supervise spencer because it’s my job, but I’m not gonna order him around or treat him like a flunky. Well, I know that’s not your style. You got a good heart. Thanks. Although I have to say being spencer’s boss will make things even more awkward. “More awkward”? What do you mean by that? When we get to this cabin, I don’t know what I’m gonna do. Are you still feeling like the fifth wheel here? Is it weird that I hang out with joss and cam so much? Why? Why would that be weird? It was different when we were all just friends, but now that they’re dating, I feel like I’m always in their space, just bugging them, hanging all around. Josslyn has never struck me as a girl who doesn’t want to speak her mind, right? Yeah. And if you really feel this way, honey, why are you even considering going on this trip? Because esme got all in my face with her “poor trina, so alone.” And I just — it made me so mad, so I told her I was going just to shut her up. You have a lot to make up to curtis. I wholeheartedly agree. So why can’t you give him what he wants? Because curtis — curtis won’t even talk to me unless I tell him where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing all these years. That sounds like a reasonable request to me. Tj, I want to put the past behind me. It’s just too painful. I — I can’t talk about it. Is your son not worth the pain? It’s not that, tj. If I — if I open up to curtis, my answers are just going to drive him further away from me. Laura: So carly found out that you fell in love with nina when you were on the witness stand?

[ Sighs ] You gotta understand something, laura. I-I — like, I didn’t fall in love with nina. Mike did. Yeah. But you have mike’s memories and his feelings. Yeah. And carly didn’t know about any of that until you testified. Yeah, I would never hurt carly like that. I’m not judging you, okay? I’m just curious. Were you ever gonna tell her about this? I wanted to. I really did. And — and then jason died, and then my cousin brando and his girlfriend lost their baby. And that’s, like, two painful things at once. So I didn’t want to pile everything on…carly and tell her about nixon falls when I didn’t know that there was a family mourning me. And then, you know, mike became friends with nina. She was caring. She was smart. We fell in love. And then, uh… but once, you know, I found out that — that I was sonny, I went back home. Why is it so hard for — for people to understand that I-I just wanted to leave… …I wanted to leave that nixon falls behind me and just move on? I understand. I-I understand why you did what you did. I appreciate you saying it. It means a lot and, uh… do you think carly will ever come to terms with what I did? What are you even doing here, carly? I thought you were smart, but you’re an idiot. Yeah, I was stupid to think you’d be straight with me. No, no, no. No. That’s not what I’m talking about. Sonny is home, and you’re here sniping at me. You know, if your big goal is to keep me away from your husband, turning your back on him is doing the exact opposite. Sonny wouldn’t have given you a second glance if he remembered me. Well… why don’t you just get over yourself and be glad he’s home? You know nothing about my marriage, nina. Nothing. Oh, I know this. He’s not gonna let you beat him up for very much longer. And then what is sonny gonna do? He’s gonna come back to the woman who loves him without all the anger. And then you’re gonna lose him for good, because I can tell you this — if sonny comes to me, I’m definitely not gonna send him away.

You’re pathetic. You can wait all you want, but sonny’s never coming back to you. Your relationship was an illusion. Mike was an illusion. And the second sonny remembered, he came home. He didn’t give you a backwards glance. Well, you’re awfully worried about an “illusion.” Carly, do you want to know what really happened between sonny and me in nixon falls? Now, that was something real. Did you sleep with my husband? Almost. But you didn’T. Because i stopped it.

I said no. But if I didn’t, sonny would have made love to me. Infidelity is a tough one to get past. But this — this situation is different because it’s not like I’m cheating. I mean, I didn’t know or remember who she was. I didn’t remember who i was. I get that. I really do.

[ Sighs ] I think you have to try to see it from carly’s point of view, you know? She found out that you fell in love… right, right. …With nina when you were on the witness stand. That’s information that you kept from her. So, I mean, how could she not feel that you’d been unfaithful? I do understand that, but she’s not allowing me to prove to her h-how much I love her. Nina doesn’t — doesn’t matter anymore. Then why are you protecting her, sonny? I mean, you said you didn’t think you were nina’s victim. Don’t you think what nina did was wrong? And if one of my boyshad a problem with us dating, they would have been more direct. But using my wedding ring as a symbolic token of m-me and franco just seems… awfully manipulative.

[ Sighs ] Well, I have, um, no experience with boys that age other than when I was that age, so… I certainly trust your judgment. Well, maybe they just found it in the drawer and assumed I had forgotten to put it back on. And they know I take it off when I wash the dishes. Hmm. So maybe they were just returning it, not realizing that I had decided to stop wearing it. So maybe this isn’t some big statement about me and franco. They were just being thoughtful. I suppose that’s possible. My father is no longer a part of my family, and ava never will be. Oh, spencer, I thought you understood the importance of the cassadine legacy. I’m fine with you and aunt alexis as my family. Can we just leave it at that? No, we can’T. There’s alexis. There’s nikolas. There’s valentin. Valentin tried to kill me. Oh, for heaven’s sake, spencer! Will you stop exaggerating and take a more pragmatic view of what actually happened?! Look, I don’t doubt valentin deliberately intimidated you, and that is not the kindest way to treat a child, I grant you, but that is a far cry from trying to kill you. Now, blowing these things out of proportion is quite understandable when you’re 10. But at your age, clinging to some imaginary fantasy is an unacceptable display of weakness. Am I understood? So valentin gets a free pass then? Valentin is a member of this family! As is ava.

[ Clears throat ] Yes and — and esme, of course. You, your father, and valentin need to put these past slights behind you and start working together. “Slights”?! These are more than slights! Yeah, victor, it’s really too much to expect spence to just forget how his dad and ava treated him. I mean, first spence’s father pretends to be dead for three years, and then ava slithers in and just takes control of spence’s trust fund. The cassadines have been plotting against each other and fighting with each other for generations. And, yes, that includes actual threats of murder. That’s one of the reasons this family’s in such a sorry state today, but it has to end. Spencer nikolasovich, it’s time you lived up to your mantle as cassadine heir and started putting family first. But ava is — ava and your father are a team. We need to bring them in to the larger family circle. And then in time, you’ll see ava’s influence over nikolas will begin to lessen. That’s what you want ultimately, isn’t it? Yeah, I guess that makes sense.

[ Sighs ] Alright.

[ Inhales sharply ] Look, spencer, don’t you worry. Hmm? You’re still young. You’ll soon learn that women will come and go in your life. But family? Now, that’s forever. I can’t change the past, tj. I want curtis to get to know who I am now, not who I was. But that’s not what my uncle curtis wants. I can tell you don’t know him very well. Okay. Okay. When my uncle curtis makes his mind up, he cannot be moved. Is the truth about your past so awful that you’re really not willing to risk telling him? Honestly, my uncle curtis’ opinion of you cannot get much worse. So if you want to know your family, if you really want to know who we are, you have to let us know who you are.

[ Door opens ] Hey.

[ Sighs ]

You don’t mind? I would love to have dinner with you, but I can see that this situation with the ring is bothering you. Thank you… for understanding. We’ll have plenty of dinners in the future. Absolutely. This is only a postponement. Mm. I am still looking forward to going out with you. I want to be with my friends, even if that means putting up with esme. I think we’ll have fun. Probably. Well, I think you need to trust your friends. You, joss, cam. Gosh, you’ve been through so much together. You have years of friendship. Focus on that, and you’ll enjoy yourselves, no matter what esme thinks.

[ Sighs ] Now that tj is gone, I see no reason for me to stick around. Curtis, wait. Please. Nothing’s changed. I only want to hear one thing from you. I know. You have questions. And if I don’t want you to continually walk away from me, I need to answer them.

[ Chimes ]

[ Sighs ] Woman: This message is for sonny corinthos. It’s your pharmacy. I’m calling to tell you you’re out of refills on your prescription for lithium. Dr. Sullivan will need to send a new script. Please call 716-555 — the truth hurts. Doesn’t it, carly? This is me putting you on notice. Sonny’s home where he belongs. Stay the hell away from my husband. Kevin? Spencer? I’m home. Hello, laura. It’s so lovely to see you again.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Susan: [Shrieks]

Tripp: Oh, I’m sorry. Does that hurt?

Susan: No, no, sir. I just get the tickles real easy.

Tripp: Sorry. I’ll be done in just a minute.

Susan: Okay.

Tripp: Ms. Banks, you mentioned that you had a vision right before you had this attack. You don’t remember anything else that could have contributed to to the pain, your nausea?

Susan: No, I mean, it came on all of a sudden, it just–

Marlena: Susan, you okay?

Susan: Are those new shoes, doc?

Tripp: Why do you ask?

Susan: I already upchucked all over poor dr. Marlena’s blue suedes, and I’d sure hate to ruin two pairs in the same night.

Abe: [Chuckling] Two pairs. Jacks over deuces.

John: Thought you were bluffing.

Abe: I know you were bluffing.

John: Well, not this time, buddy, because I got three sixes, boom, boom, boom. And the pot is all mine.

Abe: 666, the devil’s hand.

John: Don’t go there, abraham.

Johnny: And now, it is my turn and I’d like to start by paying homage to my nonno. And there he is, the formidable stefano dimera whom I loved and revered, and miss to this day. He gave me everything a kid could ever want, and he taught me that nothing was more important than family. You know, they say parents and grandparents, they shouldn’t pick favorites. He ignored that rule. He let me know without question, that I was his favorite, his little giovanni. And I thought he was the greatest, but then as I got older, I realized some people thought he was a terrible person. Some even said he was evil. I never saw it that way. I saw stefano dimera as a man who knew what he wanted and he didn’t let anything stand in his way. I don’t consider that evil. I think it’s smart, something to be admired. And it’s taken me a while to figure out what it is that I want, but I finally have. And chanel, I have come to realize it’s not you.

Chanel: What?

Johnny: I’m sorry, chanel. I don’t wanna be married to you anymore.

Chanel: G, what are you saying? What do you mean you don’t wanna be married to me anymore? Is this some sort of joke?

Johnny: No, chanel, I’m dead serious.

[Dramatic music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Marlena: Are you still feeling nauseous?

Susan: A little, you know, it’s like I told you before, sometimes I get this way before a premonition. Bad timing, huh? I mean, I’m not gonna be able to go to that big party that my son is throwing.

Tripp: I assume you’re talking about the wedding reception of chanel and johnny dimera.

Susan: Yeah, yeah. Darn, I’m gonna miss it. I bet you it’s gonna be one heck of a bash.

Tripp: Right, I’m sorry to be missing it myself.

Paulina: You don’t wanna be married to my daughter? You little swine, what the hell are you trying to pull?

Johnny: Just owning my truth.

Paulina: Oh, you arrogant twit, how about you take your damn truth, and you just–you stick it where the sun don’t shine.

Chanel: Oh, I think I’m gonna be sick.

Paulina: Oh, baby.

Allie: Johnny, what is going on? Why are you doing this?

Johnny: Well, turns out you were right all along, sis, I’m just not that good at relationships, you know. I thought this one might be different, but I was wrong, obviously.

Chanel: My god, this cannot be happening.

Johnny: I’m genuinely sorry to be upsetting you like this, chanel. I know before we got married in italy, I did everything I could to sweep you off your feet. But now that we’re standing here in this room, surrounded by our loving families, my nonno’s portrait reminding me of his adoration for me, and mine of him, is urging me to not let anything hold me back. And I realize now that I need my freedom. And then there was my father’s toast. I believe the essence of what he said was that we dimeras are strong-willed, passionate, determined. And right now, I’m determined to undo a mistake that I made, a very hurtful one, as it turns out.

Ej: As I said, my son is his own man. He makes his own decisions.

Johnny: Indeed, I do. And though my father oftentimes disagrees with said decisions, I know he respects my independent spirit. So yes, I chose to marry chanel, and now I’m choosing to end that marriage.

Chanel: End the marriage? Oh, my god, so you’re saying–

Johnny: I’m saying that it’s over, chanel. I want a divorce.

[Tense music]

I’ve got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Abe: Well, you know, it’s too bad that we cleaned roman out so fast.

John: Well, you know, something tells me he was more interested in getting upstairs to kate than he was staying downstairs here bro-ing up with the boys.

Abe: Well, you know, it’s nice to see that those two have found each other again.

John: Yeah, it is.

Abe: Well, you’re going big.

John: That’s ’cause I’m feeling lucky, in a lot of ways.

Abe: Yeah, I can imagine. Having marlena herself again. How’s she doing?

John: Better every day, thanks for asking. Of course, you know, I’m being a little overprotective, but I can’t help myself ’cause I came so damn close to losing her.

Abe: But it was your courage and love, and your family’s, thanks to that, we didn’T.

John: Scariest fight of my life. But I’m happy to say the demon’s gone. If he knows what’s good for him, he’ll stay gone.

Tripp: I’ll have the lab put a rush on this.

Marlena: Yeah, thanks, tripp.

Tripp: But your vitals are good so it’s probably like what you said, something that you ate or maybe even a stomach virus.

Susan: Or a premonition.

>>Tripp: Right, yes. I understand that it could be that as well. In any case, I want you to take every precaution because you did suffer a pretty serious wound to your abdomen not too long ago.

Susan: Oh, yeah, when i stabbed myself, right? And I’d do it all over again, I’d saved john black and I’d stop satan from dragging my poor elvis straight to hell. Ugh.

Paulina: You end the marriage like this in front of all these people?

Chanel: Mama–

Pauline: You heartless bastard, I have a mind to just wring your neck.

Chanel: Mama, please, stop. Johnny’s daddy just said how johnny can speak for himself, and mama, as much as i appreciate you having my back, your daughter can fight her own battles.

Paulina: Okay, you go, girl.

Chanel: But, johnny, upstairs just before this party, you told me and you showed me how much you love me. I looked into your eyes, and I saw inside of your heart that all you wanted was to be with me. So maybe this is just cold feet or jet lag–

Johnny: It’s neither, it’s neither, chanel; it’s much more profound than that.

Chanel: Profound?

Johnny: It goes deeper is what I mean–look, chanel, you are an incredible woman, and from the moment I met you, I was struck by your beauty, your intelligence–

Anna: Then why do you want to divorce her?

Tony: Anna.

Johnny: But I realize we’re both young. There’s so much more we need to explore, to experience.

Chanel: You can speak for yourself.

Johnny: Okay, I will do that then: There’s so much more i need to explore and to experience.

Chanel: Oh, like other women, you mean?

Johnny: No, not at all. Although I don’t rule that out.

Pauline: Oh, you son of a bitch.

Johnny: Chanel, please. I understand that you’ve been burned by this sudden turn of events, but honestly, it hurts me as well to break your heart this way. And I hope after you had some time to cool off–

Chanel: Cool off? I will never cool off. Because not only have you broken my heart, but you’ve made a fool of me.

Johnny: No, no, please, don’t–please don’t succumb to feeling foolish. You trusted in my love because you’re a kind, trusting person, and that’s why, in time, I hope we can still remain friends, maybe even friends with benefits.

Paulina: Oh, chanel, if you don’t slap this bastard, I will do it for you.

Lani: And so will I.

Johnny: You can slap me if it’ll make you feel better.

Chanel: No. No, I’m not gonna slap you. But I just wanna know, who the hell are you? And what have you done with my giovanni?

[Tense music]

Chanel: This is not the johnny dimera I know and love.

Johnny: Well, that’s ’cause you don’t really know me. But my sister does, and she warned you, didn’t she?

Chanel: Yeah, yeah, she did. But I was convinced that she was wrong about you because the guy that I knew was wonderful and kind-hearted, and he made me laugh. And he showed me more love than anyone else ever has. Was that all an act?

Johnny: No, no. I mean, not really. I guess I was just trying to convince myself that I was capable of loving someone, that I could commit myself to that someone. But as soon as this marriage became a reality, which it did tonight at this party with everyone addressing us as husband and wife, I realized I’m just not there yet. I’m so sorry, chanel.

Chanel: Yeah, yeah. Well, I’m not. You see, what I’m feeling is grateful as hell that I found this all out now. Because, if this is who you are, if you can turn on a dime like this and toss me out of your life at what was supposed to be a celebration of our marriage, then you are the last man on earth that I would wanna be with. So you know what? You can go straight to hell, johnny dimera.

Susan: This is the last place I thought I’d end up tonight.

Marlena: Oh, susan, you are gonna be just fine.

Susan: I’m not concerned about my flesh, dr. Marlena evans. It’s my immortal soul, and all the immortal souls that are around me.

Marlena: We are all gonna be just fine. The devil is gone. He’s gone.

Susan: Then why can’t I shake this bad, bad, bad feeling that the devil is not done with us? I mean, I think that I have got that feeling, it’s shaking me right back. I mean, look, look, look, my hand is trembling like leaves, dr. Evans.

Marlena: Susan, you were right about the devil before, you were. But he’s gone now. He’s gone, and he will never try to get inside of me again. I promise.

Susan: But you would know if he was, right?

Marlena: I would, I would. You know, john has barely let me out of his sight, and we’re both being so vigilant. So what I can tell you is, the devil’s days in salem are over.

Susan: All right. Maybe you’re right.

Marlena: You okay?

Susan: No, not really. You know, I bet it was the strawberry jelly I had on my peanut butter sandwich at lunch instead of the usual bananas, I mean.

Marlena: Yeah, yeah. Can I get you some water?

Susan: Oh, yes, please. Yes, please. Thank you so, so, so very, very much. You take such good care of me, dr. Marlena evans. Oh, you are an absolute angel. Thank you, god bless you, dr. Marlena evans, and god bless us all.

John: See the thing is marlena’s still struggling with all this guilt she feels about all the people she hurt when she was possessed.

Abe: Well, what guilt? She knows that none of this was her fault. We all know it.

John: Well, true, true, and I’m sure she knows that on one level, but she’s still carrying it with her. And she’s going around, she’s making amends, so just fyi, she’s probably gonna come knocking on your door, apologizing for blowing up your wedding to paulina.

Abe: You know, no apologies are necessary, especially since the devil, I think might have done me a favor letting me know the truth about paulina before I made the mistake of spending the rest of my life with the wrong person.

Paulina: Chanel, baby, wait.

Allie: No, I’ll go. Johnny, how could you do this to her? What are you doing?

Johnny: You can’t be that surprised, allie.

Allie: No, disgusted is what I am. You make me sick.

Johnny: My apologies to my family for the theatrics. And I would like to offer my regrets to the family of the bride, especially you, mama price.

Paulina: Mama? You have the nerve to call me that after what you just did to my little girl?

Ej: Paulina.

Paulina: And you–

Ej: I suggest we stay calm.

Paulina: You, you have the audacity to assume that my daughter is going after your son’s money when anybody here with eyes can see your son isn’t worth a damn? Now, I told you that you would have to answer to me if you didn’t deliver on your promise to keep my baby girl happy.

Johnny: I did, for a while.

Paulina: It was just a big lie. You used her, and then you broke her heart, and then you humiliated her. Now, nobody, nobody who hurts someone I love can get away with it.

Johnny: Seems like I just did.

Paulina: What did you say?

Johnny: Now, if you’ll excuse me.

Paulina: Oh, no, you don’T. Don’t you dare–don’t you dare walk away from me.

Susan: Yeah, that feels much better.

Marlena: Susan, what is it?

Paulina: You hold–you hold it right there! There’ll be hell to pay for what you did, you bastard! No!

[Ceiling cracking]

Paulina: [Screams]

Lani: Mom, look out!

[Dramatic music]

This is the sound of nature breathing.

Abe: Paulina knew just how much having lani as a daughter, how much that meant to me.

John: Mm-hmm, which is why she kept her secret.

Abe: You know, which is why it was so hurtful when I found out the truth. It was even more hurtful for lani. I’m just glad that she’s out of my life.

John: Mm-hmm.

Abe: What’s that supposed to mean?

John: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. It means that, my friend, you have not mastered the poker face ’cause it’s clear as day that paulina still has you in her back pocket there. So that means there’s still a chance for the two of you. That’s what that mm-hmm means.

Abe: No, we don’T. I mean, I may have forgiven paulina, but I can’t trust her.

Ej: What the hell?

Tony: What happened?

Anna: Oh, my god!

Lani: Are you okay? You okay?

Paulina: Oh, oh, yes. Oh, I’m alive, thanks to you.

Susan: It’s happening! It’s happening! Something is happening. I don’t know what it is!

Marlena: Susan. Get up, don’t do this. I don’t want you to cut yourself.

Susan: Okay, I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

Marlene: It’s okay, no, no. It was an accident. It was an accident. I’ll just find somebody to clean this up, okay? Wait here, wait here.

Susan: Oh, it’s not all right doctor marlena, it just–it was not an accident. Something compelled me to drop that glass, and when it shattered, something else was broken. I just wish to god I knew what it was.

Johnny: Hate to say this, mama price, but seems like god punished you for taking his name in vain.

[Dramatic music]

My plaque psoriasis…

Susan: Before this day ends, I might need you.

Tripp: Okay, good news is your lab is cleared.

Marlena: Which means you’re gonna be just fine, and I can take you home.

Susan: Oh, lucky me.

Abe: Well, you know what they say, lucky in cards, unlucky in love.

John: Maybe I was wrong about that poker face. Well, partner, looks like I’m all tapped out here. Listen, I told roman that we’d lock up, so–

Abe: I’ve got it; you go home to the woman you love, and I think I’m gonna stay here and play some solitaire.

Lani: Be careful.

Tony: Are you gonna be all right?

Paulina: Just sore here, here, and there.

Anna: Okay, this should help.

Paulina: Oh, what was that?

Anna: Strega.

Tony: It’s one of my late father’s favorite vices.

Paulina: Hit me again, sister.

Lani: Your ankle is swelling. You must have twisted it when I knocked you to the floor.

Paulina: Well, that big old pile of glass might have done more than twisted my ankle if you hadn’t done that. You pushed me out of harm’s way.

Anna: Tony, I told you we should have gotten rid of that ancient light fixture.

Tony: It was an original, louis xvi.

Anna: Yeah, well, old louis got his head chopped off with the guillotine. And history almost repeated itself with poor paulina right here in the family mansion.

Tony: Well, it’s gone now, so you’ve got your wish.

Paulina: I have a mind to sue your family for that big old glass ball almost killing me, and to sue your obnoxious nephew for shattering my baby girl’s heart into a million pieces.

Tony: Well, no need to get litigious. We’ll do everything we can to help you. May I call the family physician?

Lani: No, no, thank you. I just–I wanna get her to a hospital.

Paulina: Oh no, no. Uh-uh, no, no, no. No hospital, no hospital, no. I got one good ankle left, you know, I need to get to chanel, my baby. My baby needs me.

Lani: No, no, no. Better idea, how about you let allie take care of chanel, and let me take care of you.

[Soft music]

Johnny: Thank you. Can I at least have your name, so I know who I’m indebted to?

Chanel: Chanel.

Johnny: Pretty.

Chanel: My mom loved coco chanel, so…

Johnny: It’s nice to meet you, chanel. I’m named after my grandfather, john, but my other grandfather used to call me giovanni.

Chanel: Giovanni?

Johnny: Yeah. I’ll put it in your phone, so you don’t forget.

Chanel: Giovanni is not exactly easy to forget.

Johnny: Well, I hope not.

Chanel: You son of a bitch!

Allie: Dupree?

Demon johnny: Oh, damn, that was fun. As sweet as chanel’s bits are, it had to be done. I had to cut that poor girl’s heart out, and I nearly cut her mother into a thousand pieces. You’d think that bitch, paulina, would’ve learned her lesson the first time she tangled with me.

Marlena: So I’m sorry, but you’ll never have your family back, and you’ll never have abe back. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna check my voicemail.

Paulina: I’m not finished with you, you cold-hearted bitch.

Marlena: Who are you calling a bitch, bitch?

Johnny: That’s twice you’ve laid hands on me now, paulina price. If there’s a third time, you won’t be so lucky.

Ej: Johnny, what the hell’s gotten into you?

To be a thriver with

metastatic breast cancer

Johnny: What’s gotten into me is that I decided to acknowledge my mistake and fix it.

Ej: In a very public way, which was rather cruel, cold.

Johnny: Dimera-like?

Ej: You could say that, although there was a certain element of bravery to it, too. But what struck me as odd was the comment you made after the chandelier came crashing down around chanel’s mother.

Johnny: I don’t remember.

Ej: Well, I certainly do. You said god was punishing paulina for taking his name in vain.

Johnny: So?

Ej: So when did you get religion, son?

[Tense music]

Susan: Yeah, feels much better.

Marlena: Susan, what is it?

Susan: [Screams]

Tony: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you. I’m afraid you missed quite the party.

Susan: What in god’s name happened here?

Johnny: Don’t be ridiculous. I haven’t found god, not in the least. It’s just what that woman did, it infuriated me.

Ej: You broke her daughter’s heart, did you expect her not to react?

Johnny: No, but I mean, she was really aggressive about it, kind of scary.

Ej: You broke her daughter’s heart.

Johnny: And that gave her the right to come after me that way?

Ej: Yes, I think it did. And johnny, why the sudden 180 about chanel? Did something happen between you two?

Johnny: No, no. Nothing happened between us. Maybe I decided to listen to you, saw the light. Chanel is–she’s a great girl. She’s smart, she’s funny, hot as hell. But long term, I plan to do things with my life, big things, honor the dimera name. So why in the hell would I want to tie myself to someone whose worldview is a bit more limited?

Ej: Not to play devil’s advocate, but you swore you love chanel and that she loved you.

Johnny: You’ll be happy to hear, I think you were right all along. I think what she loved most about me was my money.

Ej: Hmm. And yet you were fairly outraged when I suggested it.

Johnny: I might have overreacted a little bit, but now I’ve come to realize that you were just looking out for your boy.

Chanel: You tried to warn me about your brother.

Liam: Hey, how’s douglas?

Hope: Oh, he’s fine. He’s reading a story to beth. Liam. I missed it. I’ve been so focused on my father that i didn’t even notice that my mother was struggling.

Liam: No, no. None of this is your fault.

Hope: She was all alone.

Liam: But she’s not anymore, right? I mean, she’s at a meeting with ridge right now, an open meeting. She’s getting all the help she needs. Brooke logan is a fighter. She’ll make it through this just fine.

Facilitator: Were you alone when you drank on new year’s eve?

Brooke: Come on, slug one

back with me, buddy ole pal.

It’s new year’s eve.

Deacon: Alright, alright.

Okay. Alright.

[Brooke sighs]

[Typing]

[Notification rings]

Zende: Paris. Just the person I was looking for.

Paris: Yeah?

Zende: Yeah. I’m working on a new design and I could use your opinion.

Paris: Wow, this is the third time in two days. Maybe I should take up designing.

Zende: Yeah, I’d cosign on that. Listen. I want to tell you that I appreciate you and your honesty. And I have to admit that some of the things that you said on new year’s, they threw me. You know, you wanting to keep things loose and casual between us. I respect you being so straightforward with me.

Paris: Wow, thank you. I’m glad that you feel that way. You’re a really great guy.

Zende: Everything okay?

Paris: Yeah. I’m sorry, I just got a text from my mom.

Zende: Your mom?

Zende: Yeah, I wasn’t expecting it but it made me realize how much I miss her.

Paris: These texts from my mother are so random.

Zende: What do they say?

Paris: They’re just pictures of us together.

Zende: Wait, is that you? What are you wearing?

Paris: When I was little, we used to have these dress up tea parties and I’d throw on one of her dresses that was obviously too big for me and almost all of her jewelry.

Zende: Sounds like a classy affair to me.

Paris: Oh, and this one.

[Sighs] This picture is the last time we were together. She’s just got me thinking, with my dad and zoe gone, it’s hard not having family out here. I just really miss my mom a lot.

Mrs. Buckingham: I miss you, too, paris.

Paris: Mom?

Mrs. Buckingham: Oh, my baby. Oh, it’s so good to see you. Missed you so much.

Paris: I cannot believe you’re here right now.

Mrs. Buckingham: I’m here.

[Laughs]

Hope: I shouldn’t have left her by herself. The holidays can be difficult.

Liam: What are you talking about? We thought ridge would be there.

Hope: Yeah, well then we should have waited. Is it my fault that she fell off the wagon? Have I, by pushing too hard and too much to have my dad be a part of my life, did that cause her to stress?

Liam: Absolutely not, hope. There’s no way that’s what this is–

Hope: Well, then why then? Why did my mom start drinking again?

Brooke: I’m gonna make sure

you come nowhere near

my family, especially

steffy, finn and hayes.

[Brooke sighs]

Brooke: Yes. Yes. Yes. I was alone when I drank.

Facilitator: Thank you for sharing, brooke.

[Laughter]

Paris: Oh! You knew about this?

Mrs. Buckingham: Well, I wanted to surprise you.

Paris: Wow, so there’s no design that you needed my help with, huh?

Zende: Not at this moment. No.

Mrs. Buckingham: Oh, he is very handsome in person. He’s also very sweet. Thank you, zende, for helping arrange this.

Zende: My pleasure. Anything to make paris happy. Now I’m sure that the two of you have a lot to catch up on, so I’m gonna get out of here.

Paris: Hey. Thank you for this.

Zende: Of course.

Mrs. Buckingham: Wah! My baby.

Carter: Someone’s having a good day. What is going on, why are you all smiles?

Zende: I just pulled off a big surprise.

Carter: Yeah?

Zende: Paris, you should have seen her face. I mean, she had no idea it was coming. When I tell you it was priceless–

Carter: Zende, I have– I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Zende: What? Oh. Yeah, my bad. Duh! I’m still obviously super excited about it.

Carter: I could– I could definitely tell so what happened?

Zende: Paris’s mother is in town.

Liam: Hey, hey. It’s your love for your mom that’s making you blame yourself for her relapse but the truth is there’s nothing you could have done.

Hope: We could have taken ridge’s advice and moved out and alleviated any stress about my dad. And now, on top of everything, taylor is back in town.

Liam: What does taylor have to do with it?

Hope: Listen, I know my mom’s not threatened by her but I’m sure it adds some stress. And then combine that with my dad, maybe it was just too much.

Liam: Okay, but we don’t know that.

Hope: Well, then what is it then? Because I don’t buy that you’re just fine one minute and then pick up a vodka bottle the next. I don’T. I think someone or something pushed her over the edge. Something made her drink again.

Sheila: No one is going to keep me from a life with my son and my grandson. Especially not you, brooke.

Facilitator: What led you to drink again? Are you able to identify the trigger?

Brooke: Honestly, I don’t know. I haven’t had this intense desire to drink for a very long time. I don’t know what triggered it. And before, when I drank, I– that feeling, it didn’t come out of nowhere.

Facilitator: Maybe it didn’T. Maybe the desire’s more subconscious, something that’s been there, building that you just weren’t aware of.

Brooke: Maybe you’re right. But regardless, I am– I’m committed to my sobriety and I couldn’t do it without my husband. Very thankful for his support. And whatever it is that led me to drink, I just can never let that happen again.

Dry eye symptoms

driving you crazy?

Zende: Mrs. Buckingham wouldn’t have been able to get into the building without me. I’m telling you, the look on her face– she was so happy.

Carter: I bet.

Zende: And that’s all I really care about, making paris happy. You want to hear something crazy?

Carter: Sup?

Zende: I asked quinn to make an engagement ring for me. It was beautiful and unique, just like paris. I really love her, carter. I was going to propose to her on new year’S.

Carter: What happened?

Zende: I didn’t go through with it. I mean, I wanted to. I really do love her. But… I’m not sure how paris feels about me now.

Paris: I can’t believe you’re in L.A. One second, I’m texting you and the next you’re here?

Mrs. Buckingham: I’ve been dying to see you. And you are quite the rock star. I mean, I literally saw you singing at dodger stadium.

Paris: Yeah, that was out of this world.

Mrs. Buckingham: L.A. Looks good on you and you’ve accomplished so much in such a short amount of time. Feels like you just graduated from college and now you’re this key player for the forrester foundation.

Paris: Yes. It’s been really amazing.

Mrs. Buckingham: And you’re consulting for hope for the future? Yeah, I’ve been keeping tabs on you. All your hard work and passion to help others has really paid off.

Paris: What can I say? I have an incredible role model.

Mrs. Buckingham: Ah, I’m so proud of you, sweetheart, not just because of your accomplishments but because of the wonderful woman that you have grown into. I am so blessed to have you as my daughter.

Paris: Oh mom.

Mrs. Buckingham: Mm. So good to see you.

Hope: You know, you can say, “I told you so.”

Liam: Okay. A, I would never do that. And b, I honestly don’t think deacon had anything to do with this.

Hope: Well, you know what I think? I think that maybe I was being selfish, trying to insert my dad into everyone’s life and I should have been more sensitive–

Liam: No! Absolutely not. Listen, everything’s gonna be okay. Your mom’s already in a meeting. That’s like, that is a great sign!

Hope: I know. No, I’m– I’m– I’m really happy that she’s being really open about that night and… I’m grateful that she is getting help and that she is not keeping anything from us.

Brooke: Vodka?

[Sighs] What would I do without you?

Ridge: We’re in this together.

Brooke: I’m just scared, ridge. I have no idea what happened that night. I don’t know how I made such a terrible mistake.

[Shallow breathing]

Deacon: Morning sunshine.

Ridge: Hey. Where’d you go?

Brooke: Ah, I was just thinking about that night. I don’t ever want to relapse again.

Ridge: You won’T. I’ll make sure you won’T.

Brooke: Well, thank you. I don’t want to lose you.

Ridge: Lose me? You kidding? Come on.

Brooke: I don’t want to, ridge.

Ridge: For better or for worse, right? As long as we’re honest with each other, we can face anything. Come here. Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

Carter: Listen, man, uh… I have a confession to make. I already knew about the uh, the engagement ring. Quinn told me. She was pretty proud of her work, said it was beautiful.

Zende: It is. I had it all planned. Dinner at paris’ favorite restaurant. I was going to propose to her there. And then I rented out this rooftop downtown with this perfect private view of the fireworks.

Carter: Wow, man.

Zende: We didn’t even make it to dessert before the night was over. She talked about being young and single. I mean, she’s not wrong. We never put a label on what we are but I mean, it felt like it came out of nowhere.

Carter: I’m really sorry, zende.

Zende: Maybe there’s competition. All that talk about not wanting to be tied down and having so much to experience. I mean, you’re friends with her. You talk to her. I kind of feel like there’s someone else. But if it’s not me, then who else could it be?

Paris: So how long are you staying?

Mrs. Buckingham: Wow. Anxious to get rid of your mom already, huh?

Paris: Not even. If I had it my way, you’d stay in L.A. Forever but I know you need to head back soon. What would the hospital do without you?

Mrs. Buckingham: Actually, I handed in my resignation.

Paris: What?

Mrs. Buckingham: I know–

Paris: You loved working there.

Mrs. Buckingham: I did. I do. But it was time for a change.

Paris: So now what?

Mrs. Buckingham: Well, there is another reason for my visit to L.A.

Paris: Oh?

Mrs. Buckingham: I have a few offers. One for the hospital down the street, in fact.

Paris: So you’re looking for work here?

Mrs. Buckingham: I don’t want to cramp your style but I wanted to see how you feel about me moving here.

Paris: That would be awesome!

Mrs. Buckingham: Yeah?

Paris: And if you need a reference, I got your back.

[Laughter]

Mrs. Buckingham: I missed

Paris: I missed you too, mom.

Mrs. Buckingham: So if you’ll have me, I am here to stay.

Paris: Well in case my, “that would be awesome,” wasn’t big enough let me say it again, that was awesome. Be awesome. I’d love for you to stay in L.A. Ah!

Mrs. Buckingham: Ah!

[Paris laughs]

Liam: Listen to me. All your concern is is a testament to what a wonderful, caring, attentive daughter you are. And if there were anything, anything at all to pick up on, you’d have picked up on it.

Hope: I just– I hate that this is even happening. You should have seen her, liam. She was– she was so hard on herself and she was scared. Like, her life was completely out of her control and she had no idea why.

Brooke: I’m gonna do

everything in my power to keep

you away from our family

and ridge will agree with me,

especially steffy,

finn and hayes.

Sheila: Oh, brooke. When are you going to learn to not push me?

[Clinking]

Ridge: Alright. That was the last of it. Bar’s empty. We don’t need temptation in this house.

[Brooke sighs]

Brooke: Thank you.

Ridge: Can I say something? You’re not only the hottest but you’re also the strongest, most courageous woman I’ve ever known.

Brooke: Ridge–

Ridge: Yeah, no it’s true. You could have found a way to hide this from me but you didn’T. You told me because you trust me.

Brooke: Yeah, but how can you trust me? How can you trust me when i don’t even know how i started drinking again?

Ridge: Well, it really doesn’t matter. It was a one time thing. It’s ove–

Brooke: No, that’s all it takes, ridge. It takes one time to relapse. And all of this hard work in recovery just to– just to start it all over again.

Ridge: Okay. It’s a disease. We gotta fight it and we’re all here to help you. We’re all here. I– I wasn’t here because I decided to leave at a– at a time like this. I’m–

Brooke: Don’T. Stop. Don’t blame yourself–

Ridge: No. You needed me here and i wasn’t here so I’m sorry.

Brooke: No, ridge, it wasn’t your fault.

Ridge: Well, you know what? I will never leave you again. What do you say to that?

Brooke: Good.

Ridge: Okay.

Interview with cast of “Naomi”

Posted on January 11, 2022March 15, 2023 by TvMegasite Admin

TV Interview!

Mary-Charles Jones, Kaci Walfall and Camila Moreno of "Naomi" on The CW

Interview with actors from “Naomi” on The CW by Suzanne 1/6/22

This was a great panel with the cast and creators of the new teen superhero show on The CW. I love all of their superhero shows, so I was very grateful to be there. There was a lot of youth and passion in our little Zoom press panel.

THE CW NETWORK

Naomi

Cast Zoom: Ava DuVernay (EP), Jill Blankenship (EP), Kaci Walfall “Naomi,” Cranston Johnson “Zumbado,” Alexander Wraith, “Dee,” Mary-Charles Jones, “Annabelle,” Barry Watson, “Greg,” Mouzam Makkar “Jennifer,” Daniel Puig “Nathan,” Camila Moreno “Lourdes,” Will Meyers “Anthony,” Aidan Gemme “Jacob,” 2022.0106

Here’s the description of the series that we were given in the panel:

“This is a truly fresh take on the superhero genre from executive producers Ava DuVernay and Jill Blankenship. And we’re so happy you’re joining us today to hear from them and our incredible cast. The DC drama Naomi follows the journey of a cool, confident, comic book-loving teenager as she pursues her hidden destiny. When a supernatural event shakes her hometown of Port Oswego to the core, Naomi sets out to uncover its origins with a little help from her fiercely-loyal best friend, Annabelle. She also has the support of her adopted doting parents, veteran military officer, Greg and linguistics teacher, Jennifer. After an encounter with Zumbado, the mysterious owner of a used-car lot leaves her shaken, Naomi turns to tattoo-parlor owner, Dee, who becomes her reluctant mentor. While unraveling the mystery about herself, Naomi also effortlessly navigates her high school friendships with kids on the military base, as well as local townies, including ex-boyfriend and high school jock Nathan, Annabelle’s long-time loyal boyfriend, Jacob, proud townie, Anthony, and fellow comic book enthusiast, Lourdes, who works in a vintage collectible shop. As Naomi journeys to the heights of the Multiverse in search of answers, what she discovers will challenge everything we believe about our heroes. Don’t believe everything you think. This is… Naomi. New series, Tuesday, January 11. Only on The CW.”

I was able to ask just two question because it was a large press panel with many journalists. First I asked the show’s star, Kaci, if she had been a fan of this (or any other) comic book prior to the show. She answered that she’s an “avid reader,” but not of comics. However, she did love The CW superhero shows, such as “Supergirl” and “The Flash.”

I love Barry Watson because I used to watch “7th Heaven,” where he played the hunky oldest teen boy. Here, he plays Naomi’s adoptive dad on the show. I asked him if he’d ever played a military man before. He replied that he hadn’t, as far as he could remember. He added that he does come from “a bit of a military family,” but this is his first time playing someone in the military.

Ava DuVernay chimed in to say how much she likes him “with the salt and pepper beard.” She said it’s a shame that he can’t wear it on the show, since he’s in the military. Then she mused that they might have to find a way to write it in the show. I had just been thinking the same thing, that he should keep the beard because he looks great with it. I thought, “Should I say that? Do I have time?”… so I’m glad she said it! She said that he looked “fantastic.” He grinned modestly. I’m sure he’s used to women complimenting him. He said that this is “how I roll.” Like so many men, he doesn’t shave when he’s not working. I don’t normally like beards, but it looks good on him. She joked again that she’ll have to write it in the script. He agreed and revealed that “shaving it every day hurts my face.”

DuVernay was very chatty during the panel and had a lot of energy. I could tell that she’s really the driving force behind the show as well as its biggest cheerleader. I can see now why people are so inspired by her.

Jamie asked where the show might fit in the DCU and whether it might be involved with some of the CW crossovers. Executive Producer Jill answered that this is the third DC show she’s worked on, and she loves how they have something for everyone. She doesn’t think that anything is “ever off the table” (including a crossover). That’s great to hear.

Max asked Ava and Jill about where the idea came from to develop the series and what their experiences were with comics beforehand. Duvernay informed us that through her production company Array, which is via Warner Brothers, she had been involved with a DCU movie “New Gods” (unfortunately, this film had been canceled because it conflicted with the “Justice League” movie). She also worked with them on another new show, “DMZ,” which comes out on HBO Max later this spring. Then she heard about a new comic about a black girl superhero, so she really wanted to be involved with it. She liked it because it was different from other superheroes, since this girl is figuring out her destiny and who she is. She praised Jill as one of the “top two best writing partners I’ve ever, ever had,” so she wanted her for the show, and they started working on it. Then she went on to heap loving praise on all of the cast and crew and said they’ve had a good time creating the show together.

Max then asked a second question, for Kaci, about what her audition process was like; he also asked the producers why they chose her. Kaci described her audition. She sent in a self-tape and didn’t hear anything for 2 weeks. Then Ava emailed her and wanted to do a Zoom call with her and two others. She did some scenes with them and answered questions, and then they flew her to L.A. She went with her mom out to L.A., where they had her do some readings (for chemistry). Then they talked about the show over lunch and got to know each other. A week later, Ava phoned her to say she got the part. This sounds like a very thorough audition. They never answered his second question, unfortunately.

Fred was called on next. Ava recognized him from when he was a publicist and she used to pitch (story ideas) to her. Awww, that was nice. Ava said he was very sweet and that they’d both been doing this a long time.

Fred asked Kaci whether the fact that Naomi just discovered her powers gives her a little leeway into training a little bit, and he also asked her how extensive her physical training has been.

Kaci agreed that she has been able to ease in to the training. She’s finding things out as Naomi does and is able to grow over time. She credits her stunt coordinator, Elizabeth, for telling her that she’s just at the right place (the same as the character). She just works out to stay fit and keep her energy going, but Naomi gets better every episode.

Fred followed up with asking Alex about his own physical training for the role of Dee. Alex admitted that while he was “pretty athletic,” he’d given up on heavy training and martial arts for a few years, so he had to start training again. He pointed out that it feels very good, and he feels that he’s back on track.

Ava disappeared for a moment to get her charger, just as Rick was going to ask her a question, so everyone laughed because it was a funny moment. He asked her whether she thinks first of the scifi elements of the story, or the coming of age stuff first, and what have been the pitfalls, as well as positive things about adapting a popular comic to the screen.

Ava answered that she thought of it first as the coming-of-age story and that’s what she loves most about it. She believes that all comic book stories are “really personal human stories about the … journeys that we all take, written in with issues of heroism and … magic.” The best ones are the ones we can relate to. She shared some of her favorite scenes in the show. There was one she was editing today that brought a tear to her eye. She was getting emotional editing this “young adult drama.” There’s another scene where Naomi and Cranston talk about love that made her cry. She also spoke highly about Barry and Mouzam, who play Naomi’s parents. She praised them for having “an edge” and “mystery. She added that Naomi has three love interests (one a girl). Lastly, she said that her favorite couple is Jacob and Annabelle; she said they might get a spinoff one day. All of these things make it more than just a superhero show to her.

Jill answered the other part of the question. She’s a fan herself of the comic book and loves how “characters jump off the page.” She’s excited to honor the writing in that and how the story progresses, yet still “expanding the world even beyond the comic.” She added that seeing this wonderful cast bringing it to life has been “spectacular.”

Judy asked Cranston and Alex to describe their characters, whom have known each other a long time and lived in the same town for years. She wants to know what their relationship is and whether they wrote their own backstory for them. Cranston relayed that he had been told that his character doesn’t like Dee, and we’ll find out why. Also, “the feeling is mutual,” but they may have to work toward a common goal. Ava praised him for avoiding any spoilers, saying “Well done!”

Alex doesn’t agree that Dee hates Zumbado. Dee keeps to himself to avoid any kind of drama, which he’s been through before. He just knows that Zumbado will be responsible for any problems that might come up.

Judy pointed out that the series relies on Naomi’s relationship with her friends, so she asked each of the young actors what they did outside of the set and hanging out together to get their chemistry. Ava asked Mary Charles to start. She shared that she and Kaci had done one scene together over Zoom for the pilot (so they could work looking like best friends). Then they started doing a group Zoom with the other younger people. She revealed that they “did very teenagery icebreakers,” such as asking each other’s “star signs” and what their favorite ice cream flavor was.

Camila remembers that and said she really liked “this amazing group of people. She thought that building this relationship was going to be very easy. She’s blessed to part of it and says that they’re a very likable group.

Ava pointed out that this is Daniel’s first job. Puig agreed that making the chemistry with them all was “awesome” and reminded him of hanging out with his high school friends. He feels that they’ll all be close forever. Will was wearing a suit, so Ava pointed out that he was “”looking so debonaire” and asked him his thoughts on it. He noticed that at the beginning, they were all just working on their characters and anxious to get started, but then they were told to get to know each other, which made him more excited. He said that they were all “wonderful” and that getting to know them has been “such a joy.” He echoed Daniel’s sentiments, saying, “I really feel a connection with every single one of you, and it’s been nothing but fun. ”

Ava called on Aidan last. He said there was some awkwardness when they did their first table read, but since then, they’ve all been building on their relationships. He feels that “everybody wants to be here and [is] open and engaging.” It makes him feel “humbled” to be included. Then Ava praised them all and talked about how they support Kaci, which is “extraordinary.” She said that Kaci is the star and lead of the show, and they all work to rally around her, even though she’s only 17 and the youngest person in the cast. She complimented her on handling things with such “grace.”

Abbie asked Ava if she’ll be addressing issues such as “race and civil rights” in a real or metaphorical way, since that’s what she’s done in previous projects. Ava says they will be doing it with a process she calls “normalization,” which means having diversity of race, gender and class as if it’s an every-day thing and not anything out of the ordinary. She feels this is a “radical revolutionary thing.”

Abbie also asked Kaci about how she views her character, whether it’s through being excited that she has superpowers or something else. Kaci replied that the show is very realistic, so she asks herself the question of what she would do if she had superpowers. She wouldn’t necessarily be “joyful,” which is how the character is dealing with the issue. Being a teenager, she doesn’t want to be “different.” Abbie went on to ask whether Naomi feels that she has a greater responsibility to protect her community (now that she has superpowers). Kaci believes anyone with powers would feel that way. Being 16, it may not be a good thing to have to struggle with, which she does throughout the show.

Jim asks about Naomi’s flirting and romances in the show and whether we’ll see some of that as a story point in the first season. He feels that some viewers might be struggling with their own sexuality and want to see that addressed.

Jill, adding on to what Ava said about normalization, replied that she admires how the younger people today are very different when it comes to sexuality. She finds their “attitude towards sexuality and toward this sort of aversion to labels so inspiring.” They do use that through the season, grounded in the reality of their show.

Ava asked Barry and Mouzam to give their opinions on this, since they’re playing Naomi’s parents. She reminds us that there’s a conversation in the first episode where they’re talking about the other teens that Naomi is involved with. Mouzam agrees with Ava that there are many different people in the world, and their characters raised Naomi to believe that “love is love.” They have great communication between them. She praises their family dynamic and how Naomi can be free to be herself and that it’s all coming from reality. Barry agrees and says they have “an openness” to everything and they really want their daughter to be happy, more than anything.

Jim had a follow-up question. He calls the teens the “Scooby gang.” Ava chimed in to say that the kids don’t know that ancient reference, but they all do (of course, because “Scooby-Doo” has run in re-runs and remakes forever, and the phrase has been used many times, over and over, in the media). Kaci said that they do call themselves that already.

Jim asks them if they knew the backstory of their characters, whether it was in the script or not. Camila answered that they have great access to asking Jill questions. She and Ava are very open about answering their questions. She’s very curious about her character’s background and personality. Aidan agrees. He comes from the theater, where there’s always an end, so they don’t have as much opportunity to explore their characters. This show has been fun because they’re all on a journey together. Every time he opens his script, he learns something new about the characters.

Ava piped up again to say that they gave Mary-Charles, Will and Daniel the most background material. She mentions who the characters each are. She doesn’t like giving them too many details because they want the actors to help fill in those gaps. They listen to the younger actors and how they speak, so they use some of the slang terms they use. Jill agrees that she feels “10% cooler just from my text exchange …with these actors.” Mary-Charles backed them up by saying that what is really great is that they listen to them in a respectful way about how they speak and whether this or that is still trendy to say.

Dawn asked Ava and Jill what made Kaci just right for the role (which is great, since that question was asked earlier and never answered). Ava says that besides the talent, she looks for a person that has certain qualities because she has to work closely with them, possibly for years. She asks if she wants to be in a relationship with this person. She knew after Kaci auditioned that she is “flat out incredible, beyond good enough” as an actor. She had to fly her out and meet her, have a meal and get to see who she was as well. Even though Kaci was only 16 and just had a little theater experience, she had a great “work ethic, the professionalism, the talent, the vibrancy, the charisma, all of it.” She also liked her as a person. She knew Kaci would be able to shoulder the responsibility of being the title character of a TV show. She feels very lucky to have found her, and she felt the same way about other actors she found for roles in her TV and movie projects (which she listed). Jill also added how impressed she’s been with Kaci. She sometimes forget she’s 17 “because she’s so thoughtful. She’s so mature. She’s so considerate and such a great leader, as Ava said that again, it’s just, she’s exceeded my wildest expectations, personally.” Kaci blushed a bit and smile at all of the nice things they said about her.

Ava also added that the rest of the cast was also great. They all like each other in real life, which is not always the case. She complimented Cranston, Alex, Barry and Mouzam again.

There was more, but this was a really long interview. I’ll add the rest later if I see anything worth adding, but you get the idea. I hope you enjoy the series!

NAOMI

Tuesday (9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET) on The CW

From Oscar® nominee/Emmy® winner Ava DuVernay and Jill Blankenship (“Arrow”), and starring Kaci Walfall (“Army Wives,” “Power,” “The Lion King” on Broadway) in the title role, the DC drama NAOMI follows the journey of a cool, confident, comic book–loving teenager as she pursues her hidden destiny. When a supernatural event shakes her hometown of Port Oswego to the core, Naomi sets out to uncover its origins, with a little help from her fiercely loyal best friend Annabelle (Mary-Charles Jones, “Kevin Can Wait”). She also has the support of her adoptive, doting parents, veteran military officer Greg (Barry Watson, “7^th Heaven,” “The Loudest Voice”) and linguistics teacher Jennifer (Mouzam Makkar, “The Fix”). After an encounter with Zumbado (Cranston Johnson, “Filthy Rich”), the mysterious owner of a used car lot, leaves her shaken, Naomi turns to tattoo parlor owner Dee (Alexander Wraith, “Orange Is the New Black”), who becomes her reluctant mentor. While unfolding the mystery about herself, Naomi also effortlessly navigates her high school friendships with kids on the military base as well as well as local townies, including ex-boyfriend and high school jock Nathan (Daniel Puig); Annabelle’s longtime, loyal boyfriend Jacob (Aidan Gemme); proud “townie” Anthony (Will Meyers, “Bad Education”); and fellow comic book enthusiast Lourdes (Camila Moreno), who works in a vintage collectible shop. As Naomi journeys to the heights of the Multiverse in search of answers, what she discovers will challenge everything we believe about our heroes. Based on the characters from DC, NAOMI is written and executive produced by Ava DuVernay and Jill Blankenship (“Arrow”), and executive produced by Sarah Bremner and Paul Garnes of ARRAY Filmworks. Amanda Marsalis (“Echo Park,” “Queen Sugar”) directed and co-executive produced the pilot episode. The series is from ARRAY Filmworks in association with Warner Bros. Television.

PAM BEER: Hi. I am Pam Beer to introduce our panel for “Resident Alien,” which we announced this morning will launch it’s second season on Wednesday, January 26th, at 9:00, on both SYFY and USA Network before moving exclusively to SYFY. “Resident Alien” follows a crash‑landed alien named Harry, whose secret mission is to kill all humans. In Season 2, Harry is once again stranded on Earth where he must confront the consequences of having failed his people’s mission to destroy the human race. On his new quest to protect the people of Earth, Harry struggles to hold on to his alien identity as his human emotions grow stronger by the day. Here is a clip from behind the scenes of “Resident Alien.”

In the top row are executive producer Chris Sheridan, Alan Tudyk, and Sara Tomko. In the bottom row are Alice Wetterlund and Corey Reynolds. We are now ready for your questions.

MATTHEW LIFSON: Thank you, Pam. And welcome to our panelists. Just a reminder to use the “raise hand” function if you have a question. Our first question comes from Mike Hughes and Suzanne Lanoue is on deck. Mike, go ahead.

QUESTION: Yeah. Alan, you get to do a lot of weird things in this show, but I wanted to ask you about two of them. One of them is running off with that, sort of, octopus in your hands, what was that like? And the second one is getting to pronounce your actual real name from your planet, how hard was that to learn to pronounce that, and how difficult is that to do?

ALAN TUDYK: Oh, yes. Well, that’s excellent. I forget you guys have seen the three episodes. I haven’t seen that. Running with the octopus was great because it’s made of rubber, some kind of silicone, and it does its own acting. You just give it a little jiggle, and it really comes through. It’s a great scene partner. That was a blast. We shot that in Ladysmith, which is a little town that (inaudible). And running down the streets of Ladysmith with an octopus was fun to do. I think it was popular with the local residents as well. Anytime Harry speaks his language, it’s always fun. I don’t know that it will ever be a language like Klingon where you go to conventions and people actually speak it as a language. It’s much more illusive. It’s very illusive. So it’s like it’s a back‑and‑forth between me and the editors. It switches up a little bit every take, and then they find the best string of sounds and probably facial expressions to go along with it that makes for the best scene.

QUESTION: Okay. Thanks.

ALAN TUDYK: Thanks, man.

MATTHEW LIFSON: Our next question comes from Suzanne Lanoue, and Abbie Bernstein will be on deck. Go ahead, Suzanne.

QUESTION: Good morning. Nice to see you guys again. Chris, I enjoyed the three episodes, and I love the music in the first three episodes that we saw, especially the “MASH” theme at the end. Who chose the music, and will there be any more singing in this season?

CHRIS SHERIDAN: I chose the music. I have some music supervisors that help. But I will say, the “MASH” theme ‑‑ these are all spoilers, by the way. I can get into the specifics from these episodes that, probably, you can’t write about quite yet. But the “MASH,” yeah, there’s that moment at the end of 3 where ‑‑ again, this is not to be revealed, but ‑‑ D’Arcy gets in the helicopter. I had sent a picture of Alice in a helicopter to ‑‑

ALICE WETTERLUND: A video.

CHRIS SHERIDAN: ‑‑ a video of Alice in a helicopter to Alice Wetterlund, and she sent it back to me with the wonderful “MASH” theme attached to it, and I was determined from that point on to put that in the episode. So, we are in the process of playing ‑‑

ALICE WETTERLUND: Lily, your daughter, Chris, is obsessed with “MASH.”

CHRIS SHERIDAN: My daughter is obsessed with “MASH.”

ALICE WETTERLUND: So, we are, kind of, always ‑‑ it’s in the zeitgeist of the show. It’s conversation ‑‑

CHRIS SHERIDAN: Yeah.

ALICE WETTERLUND: ‑‑ because it is in the zeitgeist. And, so, I saw that footage, and it just ‑‑ a lot of the footage from the show ‑‑ and you can write about this ‑‑ is very beautiful. We have incredible DPs. And it just looked like film to me. It looked old and gorgeous. And I just was, like, “Oh, you’ve got to put the theme song.” But in terms of who chooses the music ‑‑ and you should probably write this ‑‑ it’s mostly me and Levi. And he does have a music supervisor that no one has ever met, but it’s really cool because Levi and I do a radio show for the cast and the crew. And sometimes, every once in a while, Chris is nice enough to pick one of the songs that we’ve played on our radio show to put on the show, the actual show. So, yeah, feel free to write about the radio show. No one ever cares.

CHRIS SHERIDAN: Yes, I do. I definitely use the radio show to find music. So, it’s all very helpful.

QUESTION: And did you hear my other part of the question about will we see any singing this season?

CHRIS SHERIDAN: We will.

ALICE WETTERLUND: Oh, you know we will.

CHRIS SHERIDAN: Well, we will see singing. We will see ‑‑ Alice will get to sing this year, which we are very excited about. I don’t know which episode it is, but we will get to see Alice Wetterlund sing this year, which is going to be fantastic.

ALICE WETTERLUND: Well, there is a karaoke machine in the bar that you’ve written in for the season.

CHRIS SHERIDAN: Yeah.

ALICE WETTERLUND: So, you kind of ‑‑

CHRIS SHERIDAN: I had to go back to it.

ALICE WETTERLUND: It seems like everybody is going to make their rounds.

CHRIS SHERIDAN: Yeah. Alice is next. We’ll see who goes next, maybe Sara. Sara is good.

ALICE WETTERLUND: I think so.

QUESTION: Thank you so much.

MATTHEW LIFSON: Our next question comes from Abbie Bernstein, and Jamie Ruby is going to be on deck. Abbie, go for it.

QUESTION: Hi. I have two questions, actually, one for Mr. Tudyk and one for Mr. Sheridan. I won’t print this until after the episodes have aired. But, Mr. Tudyk, when Harry is playing other people, do you study those actors? Do those actors go to Alan Tudyk school? Does everybody just wing it? How does that work?

ALAN TUDYK: I recognize you.

QUESTION: Hello.

ALAN TUDYK: Hello. I recognize your voice. How is it going?

QUESTION: Good.

ALAN TUDYK: It is good to hear you. It’s ‑‑ they’ve watched the show. So, they, sort of ‑‑ I think they just go to Alan school, I guess. And, yeah, it’s really up to them. I make myself available if they want to talk about my process and how I go about it. But, yeah, I mean, I guess you’ve seen the first three episodes. So, is Alice born?

CHRIS SHERIDAN: The first three episodes.

ALAN TUDYK: So, you’ve seen that. So, yes, Alice is just naturally an alien, I think. She just has that about her, and it’s not just the probing. She just comes across that way. But I think Sara could probably speak to this a little bit as well because you had to do it, right?

SARA TOMKO: Yeah. I was going to jump in and say, I don’t remember what episode, but I had a small little part where I got to be Harry. And I was going to ask you for advice, Alan, but I also was, like ‑‑ I think I just wanted to watch you. I think I started really just, kind of, creepily staring at you as I got closer to that scene.

ALAN TUDYK: I remember, when I woke up from my nap in my trailer, you were standing over me.

SARA TOMKO: I was like this?

ALAN TUDYK: It was a little odd.

SARA TOMKO: Do you know what, Alan? I have to say, the small, little time I got to be you, it’s very physical. At least it was for me. I felt like my whole body was stiff. I felt like I had very mechanical movements. Chris actually suggested I do this hand motion towards the door because that’s something you had done in a previous scene. So, I did that. But I also just felt like there’s a lot more than, I think, the audience can even see that you are doing. I don’t know. To me, it just felt like a full‑body workout. And I was really, like, “Man, if I had to do this all the time, every day, I would be exhausted.” So, I’m super proud of you.

CHRIS SHERIDAN: (Inaudible) with those, Sara. That was Sara playing Harry playing Asta. I mean, that was no ‑-

SARA TOMKO: Yes.

ALAN TUDYK: Right.

CHRIS SHERIDAN: ‑‑ (inaudible) good too. Get Corey in on that. Maybe Corey is the next one whose body Alan takes over. I don’t know.

COREY REYNOLDS: I’m looking forward to it. I told you, I think that would be a really fun thing to jump into Harry’s body. I think that would be great. I think that’s one of the unique components of this show is that ‑‑ not to ‑‑ making sure I’m not giving away any spoilers here because I see this transforming thing is a potential spoiler, but I think that’s one of the really cool components of this show is that there’s this aspect of everyone getting a chance to ‑‑ or everyone Harry needs to embody getting a chance to provide their interpretation of Harry and of Alan’s performance of Harry. I think that will be fun. I look forward to it.

CHRIS SHERIDAN: About ten minutes before Alan’s (inaudible) scene playing Harry, I went up to her, and I said, “Do you want to spend some time with Alan?” I said, “Alan is gracious as an actor, and he would want to spend time with her if she wanted to watch his movements or whatever.” And she said, “I’m good.” At least she had studied it on her own, but I was, like, “All right.”

QUESTION: And, Mr. Sheridan, is the series still following the graphic novels, or has it taken off in its own direction now?

CHRIS SHERIDAN: It took off in its own direction early on in Season 1, not that we don’t still pay homage to the novels. We even look for different framing of some shots and some different shots from the graphic novels that we try to use in the show. That first graphic novel was about the murder of Sam Hodges, which is continuing into the second season. So that is still alive for us. There is an episode where that is, sort of, pulled from one of the graphic novels that we are doing this season where Harry and Asta go to New York in search of an alien, and that is directly from one of the ‑‑ or indirectly ‑‑ directly and indirectly off of one of the graphic novels. That was one of my favorite comments of theirs that they did. I thought Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse did an incredible job with that one. As soon as I read it, I thought that would be a great training for her, Alan, and Sara to do. So, we worked that into the season.

SARA TOMKO: At the time we talked about that, Chris, we were not in a pandemic. So, I think we all thought, “We get to go to New York.”

ALAN TUDYK: Yes.

SARA TOMKO: And that didn’t happen. But Vancouver is a pretty cool second New York. I think they did a great job.

COREY REYNOLDS: You guys went to Newcouver.

SARA TOMKO: Newcouver.

COREY REYNOLDS: Newcouver.

QUESTION: Thank you very much.

MATTHEW LIFSON: Our next question comes from Jamie Ruby, and then Jamie Steinberg is going to be on deck. So, Jamie Ruby, go ahead.

ALICE WETTERLUND: Jamie.

QUESTION: Hi, guys. Thanks for talking to us today. Alan, I want to know if you can talk about working with Judah because you two are so hilarious together. Yeah. Can you just talk about that and what it’s like working with him?

ALAN TUDYK: I enjoy working with Judah. I think he’s a great kid. He’s funny. He’s naturally funny. So, I guess I have a lot of respect for him. That probably helps. He’s really funny. It’s, like, his instincts are of a comedic instinct. He sees what’s funny and can top it. We did some improv this season. There is a scene where ‑‑ it’s probably in the episodes you saw where he gets a spanking.

CHRIS SHERIDAN: Yeah. That’s enough.

ALAN TUDYK: And so, yeah, he loved getting to just riff on “That doesn’t hurt.” “You are doing it wrong.” Anything he was saying during that, those were all things he came up with, and he really enjoyed it. He’s come into this season very curious about the show.

COREY REYNOLDS: “Longer than ever.”

ALAN TUDYK: He’s just a cool kid. I don’t have kids. So, I like to think of him as not my own child but as, like, a child that my dog might own. So ‑‑ we have a dog. So, I can relate. So, it’s sort of a distant child in that way.

SARA TOMKO: I can relate that way too.

QUESTION: Thank you so much.

MATTHEW LIFSON: Next up is Jamie Steinberg, and Valerie Milano will be on deck. Jamie, go ahead.

QUESTION: I love getting to see Alan with Alice. I just think it’s kind of, like, two comedy giants playing off of each other. Talk a little bit, Alan, how much of your scenes are improv, how much of it is scripted, and just in general working with Alice.

ALAN TUDYK: Working with Alice is fantastic. I’ve loved her work for a very long time. I’m a big fan of “Maisel,” and that she joined us this season was fantastic, and that she got to be my love interest was even more ‑‑ my love interest or just the object of my affections was brilliant. It was a lot of fun. Her relationship with Chris goes back a long way. You can see it when the two of them are together. They have a really strong friendship. It was really fun to watch them, really more than anything, together. And we embrace some in that scene, I’m remembering. As far as improv goes, there’s leeway. And everybody can speak to this because everybody does this. Chris is a very generous creator in a lot of ways. But as far as listening to the actors when we have dialogue that could possibly be a little more in our character voice, we have something, like, a word ‑‑ there’s a lot of stuff, like, from Harry that he’ll say, “Can I say this word instead of this word? because, the way that my process is, Harry wouldn’t say this word. Can we substitute this word or this phrasing?” There’s a lot of that.

And then we usually have, I know for myself, an opportunity to, kind of, play, especially if it’s a joke. If it’s just a joke, the punch line, you can do the punch line as many different ways as you want — or the out of the scene. Yesterday, we were shooting something with a scene, and there was, like, “Oh, what if I’m sitting at my desk. What if I had a glass of Alka‑Seltzer? Yeah, can we get a glass of Alka‑Seltzer? All right. I’ll do the plop, plop, fizz, fizz, and I’ll be watching the fizzing of the thing, and it’s confusing to me why it’s floating and then have the scene. Sara and I will have a scene, and then I’ll drink it, and it will be disgusting, and I’ll almost throw up. I’ll sit there, fizzing through the scene.” And then it was taking too long to get the Alka‑Seltzer because they had to go to the store. I was, like, “Well, what if we do this with this, or what if we did this?” And we’d just throw out ideas, and we came up with something that actually turned out to be more fun. I know Alice herself does a lot of improv because you are comedy.

ALICE WETTERLUND: Oh, yeah. Well, I was going to say ‑‑

ALAN TUDYK: You are comedy.

ALICE WETTERLUND: ‑‑ that is a really high praise coming from you, but there is something to say. I mean, Chris is so generous. Robbie is generous to the point that I’m testing it. You say he gives us as many takes as we want as long as there’s a punch line, and I’m counting. And, eventually, I’m going to find out how many is the most and is the cap for that because I’m getting to it, I feel like.

CHRIS SHERIDAN: Well, Corey is the same way. Corey had a scene last year where I was so confident in Corey’s improv abilities. It was when he was interrogating the lanky stoner in that school classroom. We wrote stuff, but I basically said to him, “This is going to be you.” So, all of that stuff that was on the screen was just Corey being ridiculous. So that was fun.

COREY REYNOLDS: That is one of the best perks of this job for me. During the course of my career, I’ve never had the opportunity to have as much influence over a character’s choices and voice, and that’s all a testament to Chris and Robbie and our leadership being open to allowing us to explore these different things. And they are not all homeruns. I’ll pitch something to him sometimes, like, “Hey, man, what do you think about this? What if dah, dah, dah, dah, dah?” And he’ll go, “Uhhhh,” when you know that that’s not necessary.

CHRIS SHERIDAN: Let’s do another pitch first. The Alan and Alice stuff, I will say ‑‑ they were doing one of the scenes that I’ve written, and I thought they should have a little fun. So, I told the script supervisor, “I’m going to go in and maybe see if they can do the lab or whatever. We can figure something out.” She comes over, and she says, “Well, for me, I want to know what they are going to say.” And I was, like, “I don’t know what they are going to say. I don’t have it written. I just figure these two people will come up with it.” So, I just said to Alice, like ‑‑ I said, “Just ask Harry, like, does he like to travel and just see where it goes.” And we laughed. And they called “action,” and then Alan and Alice went on for between five and ten minutes before the scene started. I can remember that. It was unbelievable, something about (inaudible) and monkeys in cages. It was unbelievable. The first part of that show was 19 minutes long.

QUESTION: The best SYFY for, like, a longer episode that time, can you just expand on that so we can fit in the improv?

CHRIS SHERIDAN: There’s a tremendous amount of ‑‑ actually, there’s a lot of incredible stuff that we can’t fit in the show from everybody, from everyone on this panel, I mean, just really great stuff. You have to make your choices. But, yeah, there’s a whole episode with all of their improv. I’m sure somehow, we can piece that together.

ALICE WETTERLUND: There’s a side show that I’m pitching with Corey, definitely, to get out of our ‑‑ because, like, we ‑‑ Corey and I were in one scene together so far this season, and I was, like, “Why don’t we get to do more episodes together, man?” And then, when we started going back and improvising on top of each other, I was, like, “Oh, this is why.”

COREY REYNOLDS: “Oh, this is why they don’t get us together.” It takes me back to the bowling alley scenes, which is, I believe, my first day of filming. And I think we went, like, three or four takes in before Robbie was, like, “Okay. Guys, do you know what? I think it’s important that we at least get one that’s, like, as written, you know, maybe just one. Can we just get one? Once we have one that’s on the page, we are good to go, but we should probably for safety. Let’s get at least one that is what’s written,” because I think we just decided that “Oh, yeah, the script is just a suggestion.” We just decided to go on our own little tangents there.

ALICE WETTERLUND: Having never worked with each other before at all.

COREY REYNOLDS: It’s also the very first day.

CHRIS SHERIDAN: The behind‑the‑scenes arrest in Episode 10 from the first season ‑‑

ALICE WETTERLUND: Yeah.

CHRIS SHERIDAN: ‑‑ Corey was arresting Alice.

COREY REYNOLDS: Oh.

CHRIS SHERIDAN: And you were talking about pulling hair. I think Alice ‑‑

COREY REYNOLDS: Her fighting style was a mix of volleyball and capoeira or something like that. It was just ridiculous stuff.

QUESTION: Well, thank you all so much for bringing a little bit of levity to our lives during these times. It means so much.

ALAN TUDYK: Thank you.

MATTHEW LIFSON: Our next question comes from Valerie Milano, and Janice Malone is going to be on deck. Valerie, go ahead.

QUESTION: This question is probably mostly for Chris but if any of the talent wants to chime in. In the last episode, Harry must rely on Asta and D’Arcy for survival. How does that change the dynamics of the characters, and will we see more of this in the second season?

CHRIS SHERIDAN: That’s a good question. That was in Episode 8, I think ‑‑

QUESTION: Yes.

CHRIS SHERIDAN: ‑‑ and in 10 as well. Asta depended on it for survival. It’s an example of Harry’s growing emotional state and ability to process human emotions where, in the first season, he learns to love and learns what friendship is and connects him to Asta, which is what ends up saving the human race. I think his journey in Season 2 is, sort of, extending that humanity to people outside of Asta. So, learning empathy and trying to realize that maybe there’s other people in this world ‑‑ at the beginning of it anyway, other people in the world who he can maybe care about as well in addition to Asta. So that definitely continues into the second season, and it is going to be a slow burn. We don’t want to do it too quickly where, suddenly, he’s caring about everybody because a lot of the comedy goes away at that point. That’s not really going to happen until the very end of the series where he, sort of, figured it all out. But, yeah, we are going to continue that. As far as has it changed anything, I don’t think ‑‑ D’Arcy saving his life I don’t think really did much for him.

ALICE WETTERLUND: No. Almost, like, less. I want to hear from Sara because, like, I’ve seen this from what I’ve seen in their interactions this season, that Sara ‑‑ the Asta‑Harry connection, it’s super deep now, and there’s a familiarity that is familial. I just watch. Like, he is getting to know the world, holding hands with you, and it’s, like, he has this safety net in you, and it’s really touching to watch.

SARA TOMKO: Yeah. There’s this really beautiful scene we have together once again in a really cool location where we were looking out over the lake. In Season 1, we are looking out over the mountains while I’m barefoot in the snow, and in Season 2, it’s kind of the summer version of that, not quite barefoot but still looking out over a body of water, over the lake. And we have this great conversation about that family is not just who you are blood‑related to, but it’s chosen and that there are people in your lives that you really care for, and you need to figure out who those people are. And it kind of occurs to Asta, after she has a talk with her dad, that she’s maybe the only one that Harry cares for, and that’s a lot of responsibility when she’s got the whole world on her shoulders. So, then she starts, kind of, pushing him out of the nest, which Alice is right. We started having what felt like a mother‑son relationship a little bit. She was, like, “You’ve got to get out there and meet people.” And she has to have conversations with him, talking to him about his feelings, about pain, about fear, about family. All the while, she’s still trying to connect with her daughter, and she’s also still learning about how to ask for help. She’s going to, you know, without telling any spoilers, end up coming to D’Arcy for guidance in a way she never has before. So, I think, once again, you are going to see Harry and Asta in this very similar trajectory in Season 2 where they are both still learning how to reach out and ask for help, which is pretty special.

CHRIS SHERIDAN: Very well put. Also, I think, in a way, Harry is so childlike. I think it’s, sort of, Asta learning how to be a mother.

SARA TOMKO: Yeah.

CHRIS SHERIDAN: And if she ever comes back around and has a real relationship with Jay, she can take that learning that she’s gotten from Harry to be a better mother for Jay someday.

SARA TOMKO: Definitely.

COREY REYNOLDS: She will be prepared to change Harry at some point.

CHRIS SHERIDAN: Absolutely.

COREY REYNOLDS: If he needs a change of some kind.

CHRIS SHERIDAN: Yeah.

SARA TOMKO: What did you say, Corey? What did you say down there? Can you hear me at the angle you are at?

MATTHEW LIFSON: All right. Our next question comes from Janice Malone, and Arlene Martinez will be on deck. Janice, go ahead.

QUESTION: Yes. Hello. This is such a fun show. I’m so glad to see you guys come back for another season. I’d just like to ask the entire panel here, has anyone ever, ever had what might be considered a UFO, extra‑terrestrial citing, or do you think you’ve ever met an extra‑terrestrial?

ALICE WETTERLUND: I’ve done ‑‑ that’s a question an extra‑terrestrial would ask.

CHRIS SHERIDAN: Yeah. Does anybody else have anything?

ALAN TUDYK: Chris.

CHRIS SHERIDAN: I did see a UFO once. I was on my honeymoon. I was at the beach. I told this before, but I’ll tell it again. It was 10 o’clock at night in the Bahamas. It was very, very dark. You could see every star in the sky, and suddenly, this star on the horizon started rising up. We looked at it, like, “Why is that moving?” And then it came at us, and within two or three seconds, it was above us. It was a triangular shape with, like, six lights on the bottom of it. It was light in the front, and it hit us right in the face. The ship didn’t hit us. The light hit us. That would be a story. And then it kept going, and that was it. And even in that moment, I’m, like, “Did we just see that?” I made a mental note to not let myself forget the fact that that was real. So, I don’t know what it was, but it was certainly alien.

ALAN TUDYK: And it made no noise, right?

CHRIS SHERIDAN: It made no noise. It was literally upon us from the horizon to above us in about three seconds. It just moved way faster than anything that we know of as humans on this earth. So that definitely happened to me. And, honestly, doing this show, I’ve met a lot of people who have come up to me and said, “You know, I’ll tell you, I saw this thing.” A lot of people have seen this stuff, and there’s starting to be less stigma around it now.

ALICE WETTERLUND: Yeah.

CHRIS SHERIDAN: People are starting to come out with it.

ALICE WETTERLUND: Well, also, the government was, like, “Yeah, aliens are real. Sorry.” So that helps.

COREY REYNOLDS: I mean, statistically speaking, it is virtually impossible that there isn’t alien life in the universe. I think the biggest question comes the distance between stars or the distance between space time of getting to a place where they could actually get here or we could go there. However, if you are talking about a civilization that might be millions or billions of years older than humanity, who is to say that they haven’t mastered space time travel, you know. I think you’d be an idiot to think that we are the only intelligent life in the universe. It’s stupid to think that.

ALAN TUDYK: We are intelligent?

CHRIS SHERIDAN: I don’t think we can compare it to the (inaudible) movie when you taught him that (inaudible.)

COREY REYNOLDS: Yeah.

QUESTION: Thank you.

MATTHEW LIFSON: It looks like we have time for one final question, and that is going to come from Arlene Martinez. Arlene, go ahead.

COREY REYNOLDS: No pressure, Arlene.

QUESTION: Hi. Nice to meet you all. I was just going to ask you about what she just asked you guys about, UFOs, if you guys actually believe in it because I have a husband who is actually in Space Force, and we have arguments every time that we watch shows like this. It’s, like, “No, there’s this. There’s that.” And he was actually watching, me with him, this show. He’s, like, “Oh, my gosh. So much,” and, like, “What do you guys” ‑‑ you know, he said about his experience, but I know we are not the only ones. That’s my argument with my husband. But do you actually believe there’s aliens out there?

ALICE WETTERLUND: Wait. So, your husband is Space Force and doesn’t believe in aliens?

QUESTION: He always has an explanation for everything. He actually works for space, the government. So, he watches satellites.

ALICE WETTERLUND: So, he’s a scientist, essentially?

QUESTION: No, I don’t call him a scientist, but he just watches what happened here if we get missiles, and he just stops the missiles.

ALICE WETTERLUND: Yeah. I think it’s the difference between believing and needing evidence. If you need evidence, it’s not, like, a believer faith, right?

QUESTION: Uh‑huh.

ALICE WETTERLUND: I, for instance, have never had any alien experience or anything close to an alien experience, but I’m not closed off to the idea that there are ‑‑ I mean, I just know that the more science progresses and the more astronomy progresses and the exploration of physics, the less we know we know of things we thought we knew about. And, so, what’s the point of saying there’s no ‑‑ there’s an explanation for everything? I mean, okay. Sure. But, like, we don’t have all of the explanations yet, and that’s okay. It doesn’t mean we are deficient as an intelligent species. It just means where we are.

COREY REYNOLDS: Apparently, there are.

SARA TOMKO: Right now, we are a floating ball in the sky in a galaxy. Do you know what I mean? It’s freaking crazy. So, I feel like our existence is alien, and maybe there’s theories, and everybody has their opinions, but nobody knows what we are doing here. So why not? There’s so many options, so many different stories to listen to. Everybody has a different story to tell, and it doesn’t mean that we should be pointing fingers and saying, “No, you are wrong.” You both are right, you and your husband. And we all have a feeling and a way that we are existing in this world, but I personally think we are all alien.

COREY REYNOLDS: If you think about it like this for a second, if you think about, like, the ocean ‑‑ right? ‑‑ to fish, we live in outer space, right? And to fish, sometimes they get caught. And you weigh them, and you measure them and this and that, and then you throw them back into the water. And that fish probably swims down to other fish. He’s, like, “Holy shit. You are not going to believe this. I was just abducted by these humans, and they probed me, they measured me, they took my weight, and then they just returned me.” Like, “Dude, shut the fuck up. You didn’t get taken into space or anything like that.” Do you know what I mean? So, to think that we couldn’t see that relatively happening to humanity as well like we are in space to fish. Do you know what I’m saying? We live in an environment that they can’t breathe in, that they can’t stay in for any sustained amount of time. To be in this environment, they would need a life‑support system. We are in space to them. So, relatively speaking, I have no doubt that there’s something that comes down here and picks us up and dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, and measures us and probes us and sticks shit in our asses, all of this stuff. And they are just, like, “Oh, okay. All right.” And then they just toss them back. I don’t see how that’s any different. I think, if you use that as a metric, it’s clear to see that it’s absolutely possible, not only possible but quite feasible, that something like that happens to humanity.

ALAN TUDYK: I need to get you to stop probing your fish. That seems very invasive and unnecessary.

ALICE WETTERLUND: Hey, don’t knock it.

COREY REYNOLDS: What did you learn from shoving your hand up that fish’s ass?

CHRIS SHERIDAN: Just weigh it and put it back. What are you doing?

ALICE WETTERLUND: Oh, I’m sorry. If something is in front of me, I’m going to probe it.

COREY REYNOLDS: Sorry. This hand ain’t made for probing. Sorry.

MATTHEW LIFSON: I don’t think we can top that.

COREY REYNOLDS: This finger is radicular.

MATTHEW LIFSON: So, I’m going to thank all of our guests.

SARA TOMKO: A fish’s body, a fish’s choice.’ALICE WETTERLUND: And you can keep that in. You keep that in. You write that stuff.

COREY REYNOLDS: Right? Absolutely.

CHRIS SHERIDAN: It’s why fish are growing feet on land and fight us.

COREY REYNOLDS: Absolutely. This is the beginning of a giant battle that’s going to take place and what they feel is an interest, like, in space battle. They’ve got their own Space Force. They already have their own opinions about humans. There we go.

MATTHEW LIFSON: Well, I think we are ending on the highest of notes. So, I’m going to thank the panelists. That concludes the session for “Resident Alien.” We will take a short break and pick back up with NCB’s “American Auto” at 10:45.

ALICE WETTERLUND: And I’m going to be there for that too. See you there.

MORE INFO:

Based on the Dark Horse comics, SYFY’s “Resident Alien” follows a crash-landed alien named Harry (Alan Tudyk) whose secret mission is to kill all humans. In season two, Harry is once again stranded on Earth where he must confront the consequences of having failed his people’s mission to destroy the human race. On his new quest to protect the people of Earth, Harry struggles to hold on to his alien identity as his human emotions grow stronger by the day. In an adventure that takes Harry and Asta (Sara Tomko) all the way to New York City, Asta brings Harry into the arms of someone he can call family. While back in Patience, Sheriff Mike (Corey Reynolds) and Deputy Liv (Elizabeth Bowen) find themselves closer to unraveling the mystery of Sam Hodges’s murder. “Resident Alien” also stars Alice Wetterlund, Levi Fiehler and Judah Prehn.

From UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with Amblin TV and Dark Horse Entertainment, “Resident Alien” was adapted to television by executive producer Chris Sheridan. Mike Richardson and Keith Goldberg of Dark Horse Entertainment, Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank of Amblin TV, Robert Duncan McNeill, Christian Taylor and Nastaran Dibai also executive produce.

Alan Tudyk

Harry Vanderspeigle, “Resident Alien”

Alan Tudyk stars in SYFY’s “Resident Alien” as “Harry Vanderspeigle,” an alien that crash lands onto Earth and must pass himself off as a small-town human doctor.

Emmy nominated Tudyk is a multi-dimensional actor whose credits span throughout stage, film, television and voiceover entertainment platforms.

In 2016, Tudyk appeared in Lucasfilm’s “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” as the scene-stealing security droid, ‘K-2SO.’ Directed by Gareth Edwards, the film grossed over $1 billion at the global box office and was the first live action Star Wars spin-off. He also voiced characters in two Academy-Award nominated animated films, playing the ‘Duke of Weaselton’ in Disney’s “Zootopia” and the rooster ‘Hei Hei’ in Disney’s “Moana.”

Tudyk is also the creator, executive producer and star of the Emmy nominated series “Con Man,” which was funded via Indiegogo with a record-breaking $3.2 million donation from over 46,000 fans. “Con Man” debuted at Lionsgate’s Comic Con HQ in 2015 and later aired on SYFY. Loosely based on Tudyk and Nathan Fillion’s experiences starring in “Firefly,” “Con Man” centered on the post-show life of ‘Wray Nerely’ (Tudyk) after “Spectrum,” a sci-fi TV series canceled before its time that later became a cult classic. In 2016, Tudyk, along with Fillion, also launched “Con Man: The Game” based on the series which allowed players to build and host their own comic book conventions.

Tudyk has shown audiences wide versatility in numerous television shows and a plethora of feature films.

Tudyk’s role in the Disney animated feature, “Wreck-It Ralph,” garnered him an Annie Award for his role as ‘King Candy.” He can also be heard in its sequel, “Ralph Breaks the Internet” as ‘KnowsMore.” Tudyk has also loaned his voice to ‘The Duke of Weaselton’ in Disney’s Academy Award-winning film “Frozen,” ‘Alister Krei’ in “Big Hero 6” and ‘Ludo’ and ‘King Butterfly’ on the Disney Channel series, “Star vs. the Forces of Evil.”

His additional film credits also include: “28 Days,” “A Knight’s Tale,” “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story,” “Death at a Funeral” (the original UK version), “Knocked Up,” “Tucker and Dale vs Evil,” “3:10 to Yuma,” “Serenity,” “Premature,” “Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter” and “Transformers 3.” Additionally, Tudyk motion performed the lead robot, ‘Sonny,’ in “I, Robot” opposite Will Smith.

In television, Tudyk can currently be seen in DC Universe’s “Doom Patrol” and season three of Netflix’s “Santa Clarita Diet.” He was a series regular on the critically acclaimed ABC comedy, “Suburgatory” as well as on NBC’s workplace comedy “Powerless” and BBC America’s “Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. His work on Joss Whedon’s “Firefly,” has been highly lauded by fans and has gained him a strong cult following. Tudyk also appeared in “Strangers with Candy,” “Dollhouse,” “Frasier,” “Justified” and “Arrested Development.” He also was the host of “Newsreaders,” written and produced by Rob Corddry and David Wain, on Adult Swim.

Tudyk attended the prestigious Juilliard School in New York and has starred on Broadway opposite Kristin Chenoweth in “Epic Proportions,” played ‘Lancelot’ with the original cast in Monty Python’s “Spamalot,” as well as the lead role of ‘Peter’ in “Prelude to a Kiss” opposite John Mahoney.

After the dates have all ended, a major storm brews heading into the cocktail party when a shocking secret about a woman who already has a rose is revealed.

Zoom Christmas Event with Eric Martsolf

Posted on January 8, 2022 by TvMegasite Admin

TV Actor Event!

Christmas Concert Zoom poster

Christmas Concert Zoom Event by Suzanne 12/12/21

I’ve only been to one Zoom event with celebrities and fans before. It was a free event in December, 2020, with actors from “All My Children,” a show I watched for over 25 years before it was canceled. Anyway, this was hosted by Alan Locher, who has a whole channel on YouTube where he interviews soap stars and others. I enjoyed watching it, but unfortunately, I don’t have time to watch all of these events. Between this, the virtual Comic-Cons and so many others…it’s just too difficult. I avoid most of them.

A friend of mine regularly attends “Days of Our Lives” online charity events. I’d never been to one before. The idea of paying to see celebrities is a little weird for me, since I interview them all the time for this site. However, this one was a little different because it was a Christmas musical event, so I decided to go – even though it was a bit expensive at $75 per ticket. I love Christmas, and Christmas songs, and I love “Days,” too.

Eric Martsolf and fans on Zoom Eric Martsolf (Brady) hosts regular charity events with his fans, so he hosted this special Zoom Christmas concert. Other Days actors joined him. Eric is very funny and really plays the clown for his fans. First Eric sang “Have a Holly Jolly Christmas.” He has quite a good singing voice. Most of the people singing here do, but this was just for fun with a few fans, singing Christmas carols. However, most of them did have the songs memorized, at least. Eric was drinking some “holiday cheer,” but I don’t know if it was real or not. We all had fun. I sure did. I wish I could have talked to him, but there were about 30 fans there, and he knew many of them from past events, so he said hi to the ones he knew.

He thanked Penny MacGregor, the Canadian lady who runs StarImage Entertainment (the ones that put on these events). He talked about Christmas a little bit and then greeted us. He looked at us on his screen and welcomed the new visitors like me. He noticed that there were two Suzanne’s! He read the names and said, “We got like 16 Suzanne’s…wow!” That certainly made me laugh.

He played some fun Christmas games with us. I really didn’t play because I didn’t know the answers to the questions he would throw out about Christmas songs or lines from holiday specials. I really enjoyed listening to it, though.

His first musical guest was Carson Boatman, who plays Sami and E.J.’s son, Johnny. They joked around for a few minutes and then Carson sang “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and “Hallelujah” (which really isn’t a Christmas song, but okay!). He has a nice voice and plays guitar well.

After Carson was Matthew Ashford (Jack), who was with his wife, Lana, and two kids. They were all wearing matching plaid Matthew Ashford and wife Christmas outfits, which was adorable. His kids were shy, so we didn’t see them much on the video (especially the little girl). They sang a song that sounded vaguely familiar to me, with the lyrics “Burn little candles.” I think it’s actually a hanukkah song, but I’m not sure. Eric chatted with them for a bit. Throughout the show, Eric joked about how much time his character spent in the hospital this year. After their song, Matt and his wife read the old “Yes, Virginia” letter. It was written in the New York Sun, but Matt said it was written in “The Spectator” (the Days of Our Lives’ newspaper that his character works on). That was cute.

Lindsey Arnold and Carson Boatman Next was Lindsay Arnold, who plays Sami’s daughter, Allie (Johnny’s twin). Carson was back with her, playing the guitar while she sang. She sang “Santa Baby” and then an Adele song, “Make You Feel My Love” (definitely not a Christmas song). She has a beautiful voice (probably the best of all of them). Carson sang some harmony with her on the second song. It was really sweet. They seem like good friends. Lindsay and Carson chatted with Eric about Christmas, about singing and about the show. Eric said they should start a band, like the actors on GH did with Port Chuck (Good idea!). Wally Kurth

Next we got to hear Wally Kurth, who plays Justin. Eric introduced him as being not only a veteran but a really nice guy. He does double soap duty because he also plays Ned on “General Hospital.” He’s had a band and sung for years. He did three songs. I love him, so I was happy to see that. He played guitar as well. First he sang “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” His voice wasn’t quite warmed up enough, so it cracked a few times. He and Eric joked about it. When someone sings regularly, they get used to things like that. These are professionals, so they just laugh it off and Wally Kurth singing go on. The show must go on! His other two songs went very well. He sang “In the Bleak Midwinter,” which is a beautiful and rather obscure Christmas song. I’m pretty sure I sang it in choir years ago. They asked him to learn it for an episode of GH, but then they decided not to use it, so he sings it at Christmastime now whenever he has a show. It’s a sad but beautiful song. Then he did “White Christmas,” including the Jacob Young and one of his daughters introduction part that you don’t always hear. I saw him sing with his band about 20 years ago at a GH fan event, so it was great to hear him again. When Wally mentioned GH, Eric said, “General Hospital? What’s that?” as if he’d never heard of it. It was cute.

Next there was Jacob Young, who’s never been on Days, but he’s been on “General Hospital”, “Bold and Beautiful” and “All My Children.” He’s a soap vet. He was playing guitar and singing along with his two daughters. They were all wearing Santa hats and looked very festive. One of them was playing bongos. They definitely won the cuteness award for this event. Jacob sang “Blue Christmas” very well. Then his older daughter and he did a duet with “Baby It’s Cold Outside.” I know that might sound creepy, but it was very cute. Then their last song was “Feliz Navidad,” which featured the younger daughter on the bongos. Clearly they had practiced these songs. It was great to see Jacob again. I don’t know why one of the soaps doesn’t hire him back. He’s still Bill Hayes, Susan Seaforth-Hayes and Amy Shaughnessy gorgeous. In case you didn’t know, he has been singing a long time and had a CD out years ago. You can hear his more recent music on his YouTube channel.

Then came the highlight of the event, which was the arrival of Bill and Susan Seaforth Hayes (Doug and Julie). Bill is 96, so he was sitting down, but he did sing and was very alert (My mom was born 2 months after him!). Susan is 78 and stood behind his chair with her arms around him. It’s clear that they’re just as lovey-dovey in real life as they are on the show. Helping them out was a much younger woman named Amy. Eric exclaimed that she’s Shane Donovan’s niece, but he didn’t explain that. I looked her up, and she is indeed Amy Shaughnessy, niece of Charles Shaughnessy (Shane). I have no idea why she was there singing with Bill and Susan, though. She does have a vocal performance in music degree, so perhaps they hired her for the event? I have no idea. It’s quite intriguing. At any Eric Martsolf singing rate, they sang this beautiful song. It was very touching to see them. Eric made sure to tell them what a thrill it was for him and for fans to see them. They all dressed in red, as Susan Banks you can see, and looked ready for the holidays. Plus, their two Lifetime Achievement Daytime Emmys were right there next to them!

After that, Eric sang “O Holy Night” in a very heartfelt way. That’s a tough one to do, so kudos to him for even trying that.

Then they had “Susan Banks” drop by. This is a silly character on “Days” played by Stacy Haiduk. Stacy showed up in the full Susan wig, teeth and outfit. She was very funny! She didn’t sing. Instead, she read “The Night Before Christmas.” She Eric singing and thanking us! was amazing. She played the whole thing sideways as if Susan couldn’t figure out how to hold her phone the right way. Eric played along, too, having fun with her.

After she left, Eric sang “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town,” and he ordered us all to sing along. Then in some places he unmuted some of the fans, so we could hear them sing, too. It was very cute and everyone enjoyed it. He thanked us all and talked about how it was a highlight for his year and that he hoped it was for us, too. We all said Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays at the end. It was so much fun. The two hours and fifteen minutes flew by, and we definitely got our money’s worth. If they have this event next year, you should make sure to attend!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Phyllis: Hey, amanda!

Amanda: Hey, you!

Phyllis: How are you?

Amanda: I’m good. I’m good.

Phyllis: Good. [ Chuckles ]

Amanda: Everything is going great. Imani and I — we are rocking our new partnership.

Phyllis: Of course you are. I’ve no doubt.

Amanda: How are you?

Phyllis: I’m alr–

Are you phyllis summers?

Phyllis: Um, yes, I am, in the flesh.

This is for you. You’ve been served.

Phyllis: Wait. What? Uh…

Nate: So, what do you think? The blue rug?

Elena: I actually think the beige rug goes better with the wallpaper.

Nate: I never thought that buying a rug online could be so contentious.

Elena: You never thought about buying a rug period, or else you would have had one by now.

Nate: Well, what can I say? You’ve domesticated me.

[ Laughs ]

Imani: Hello, you two. Long time, no see.

Nate: Hey.

Elena: Has it been? I hadn’t noticed.

Imani: Nate, that shirt is such a great color on you. It makes you look even more handsome.

Nate: Why, thank you. I never had someone pay so much attention to my shirts.

[ Both laugh ]

Elena: Hey, since you have such an eye for color, why don’t you help me resolve this issue? Which rug do you like better?

Imani: Oh, well, they’re both nice. It all depends on the decor of the rest of the room. Where’s this going to go?

Elena: Our bathroom. I moved in with nate.

Nate: Mm.

Lily: Have I told you in the last half-hour how happy I am that you ditched your plan to take down newman media?

Billy: Well, if this is my reward, I will abandon my plans more often.

Lily: [ Laughs ] Okay, 100% honesty?

Billy: Shoot.

Lily: Are you sure that you want to come to work with me at chancellor? ‘Cause I don’t want you to feel like it’s a consolation prize.

Billy: Do you realize how many people would kill to be your coo at chancellor? I mean smart, experienced people.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: Maybe not as much sex appeal, but that’s debatable. There is no one that is going to be more devoted to you than I am, no one that’s gonna want to see you succeed more than i do. You’re about to take over the world, and I couldn’t be more proud to be the man to help you do it.

Lily: Even though things didn’t turn out the way you wanted them to?

Billy: Who said they didn’t? I mean, the whole plan was for vindication, right? To get adam to admit that he set me up for a fall in order to take me down and get his hands on chanccomm. Then when victoria figured out that the downward spiral of billy abbott was all a ruse, well, then I became focused on getting my hands on newman media, which was not a good idea, and thank you for helping me see that.

Lily: Yeah. I mean, she was using you.

Billy: Yeah. Well, you know, I lost focus of the big picture. The last thing I want to be is anchored to the soul-sucking anger that fuels adam’s existence.

Lily: Oh, god, I wish I could have been a fly on the wall when you told him the truth.

Billy: Yeah, it felt good to tell him that he wasn’t worth it. He’s taken up far too much valuable real estate in my mind and in my life. And I deserve better, and you deserve a better me.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Well, I could not be prouder or more in love with you than I am right now.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Chelsea. Hello.

Chelsea: Sally. Any reason you are loitering in the hallways?

Sally: I just had a meeting with adam.

Chelsea: Why don’t you go back to the office? I’ll be there in a few minutes. We can go over your recent article pitches.

Sally: Actually, adam is in the middle of something, so maybe you should come back later.

Chelsea: [ Chuckles ] Well, this is personal, about our son.

Sally: All I’m saying is a little later would be better for him.

Chelsea: He’ll make time for me.

Adam: I thought I told you that I was —

Chelsea: It’s me.

Adam: Nobody knocks anymore. Why do I even bother having a door? I should just take it off the hinges and let everybody waltz in and out of here at will.

Chelsea: Well, you’re in a good mood. Something happen?

Adam: It’s nothing.

Chelsea: Save it for someone who doesn’t know you like I do.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Billy came in here, shooting his mouth off like he had just won the lottery or something, when everybody knows that he is a complete and utter failure and he always will be.

Chelsea: I don’t get it. You made all these changes in your life. You’ve got everything going for you. So, why can’t you let this go? Will this battle between you and billy ever end?

Adam: [ Sighs ] -We are here! -For new homeowners,

provided by…

Imani: Wow. Moving in together is such a big step. I hadn’t realized you two were that serious.

Elena: Uh-huh.

Imani: Well, congratulations.

Nate: Thank you. We’re very happy.

Elena: Well, I know billable hours are important to lawyers, so we wouldn’t want to get in the way of your work.

Imani: [ Chuckles ] Right. And it looks like my takeout is ready, so I will be on my way. That is your color.

[ Chuckles ] Mm.

Nate: Wow. You really brought the claws out.

Elena: I was just reminding her of our relationship status so she can stop flirting with you.

Nate: You were doing a good deed.

Elena: Yes, I was. What can I say? I’m a giver.

Nate: [ Chuckles ]

[ Cellphone ringing ] It’s roland.

Elena: Roland from the hospital’s board of directors?

Nate: [ Clears throat ] Hi, roland. What’s going on?

Lily: It’s really amazing how quickly you go from basking in the afterglow to thinking about corporate domination.

Billy: Am I that transparent?

Lily: Oh, yeah. You have your business face on. I like it.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] I’m just thinking that there’s something I need to do before i join you at chancellor.

Lily: What, buy some new ties?

Billy: No, not exactly.

[ Clears throat ] I need to go repair the bridge i burned with my mother. I said some horrible things to her before she left, and I need to make it right.

Lily: What are you gonna do?

Billy: Well, I’m pretty sure she’s in chicago this week, isn’t she?

Lily: Yeah. She’s meeting with the execs about the transition.

Billy: Okay. Well, that’s where I’m headed then because this is more than an e-mail or a video chat. I need to tell her in person that I am sorry for what happened at chanccomm and that I am 100% devoted to you at chancellor.

Lily: Okay. And make sure you let her know that I am behind you 100%. Do you want me to come with you?

Billy: You can’T.

Lily: Yes, I can come with you. I can meet the team out there and, you know, be there for moral support.

Billy: Well, that is very sweet of you, but I think I need to do this on my own. Besides, like I said, you are about to take over the world. You need to stay put, get focused.

Lily: Okay. Well, if you change your mind, let me know. I think people don’t realize how hard it is to say I’m sorry.

Billy: Yeah. Speaking of making amends, there’s someone else that I need to apologize to now that I’ve given up my plan to eviscerate adam.

Adam: There is no battle between me and billy. Not anymore. In his warped way, he called a truce. He concocted some retaliation scheme that fell apart, so that’s why he came here to tell me that. It was yet another of billy’s failures.

Chelsea: Sounds like a good thing. So, why do you look like you’ve lost?

Adam: It’s complicated.

Chelsea: He pushed your buttons in a way only billy can?

Adam: Okay, maybe it’s not that complicated after all.

Chelsea: Well, I have a solution. Forget about billy. You are running newman media. You are at the top of your game. Celebrate that. Forget billy.

Adam: Okay. It’s forgotten. Why don’t you have a seat, tell me what’s going on?

Chelsea: I need your help. It involves connor.

Adam: What’s wrong?

Chelsea: He is upset about the idea of selling the penthouse.

Adam: I thought he was having trouble adjusting to the penthouse because of the memories, just like you were. I thought moving out, it would be good for him starting fresh somewhere else.

Chelsea: That’s how he felt at first, but now that we’ve gone through the nuts and bolts of what it’s gonna be like — you know, packing our stuff up, finding a new place — I think it became real for him. He got really upset, he says this thing is totally unfair, and he ended up in tears.

Adam: Well, that’s weird. He rarely cries anymore.

Chelsea: Well, that’s how badly it’s affecting him.

[ Sighs ] Selling the penthouse is the logical decision. We need to escape those ghosts. But it’s not easy, adam, to just pack up your life, all those memories, and move on, you know?

Adam: Yeah. What do you think we should do?

Chelsea: I need your help making this whole thing okay… for connor.

Adam: Of course. I’ll do whatever I can.

Sally: I have the budget for the video project we have been batting around.

Chloe: Great. Um, that isn’t why I wanted to see you. We need to get our arms around this situation.

Sally: I’m sure adam will okay it.

Chloe: Oh, no, that’s not the situation I was talking about. We need to re-evaluate what’s going on with you and chelsea if this is gonna work.

Sally: [ Scoffs ] I’m not the problem. Chelsea is. She’s threatened by me personally and professionally, and if anyone is going anywhere, it should be her.

Chloe: Do you hear yourself? Your negative attitude is having an impact on the platform i created. It’s messing with my dreams, which makes it my problem. So, you work for me, which makes it an even bigger problem for you. Do we understand each other? Clerk: Hello, how can I?

Connor: What do you guys want to do first? We can go feed the horses, or we can go skating. I’ll bet you can wear an old pair of grandma’S.

Chelsea: Well, that sounds like fun, but —

Adam: That is not why we’re here.

Connor: Did I do something wrong?

Chelsea: No. No, not at all. Why don’t we — why don’t we all sit down?

Adam: Yeah. We just wanted to talk.

Chelsea: About moving out of the penthouse.

Connor: Oh.

Adam: I know that change can be scary. And you have had so many in your life, but you know what? A lot of them turned out to be pretty awesome.

Connor: I had to go to boarding school.

Chelsea: Yeah, but you learned a lot and you made friends you’re gonna have forever.

Connor: We went to minnesota.

Chelsea: Yeah, and you got to spend time with your other grandma, and now you live here with your dad. You get to ride horses, and noah’s teaching you how to play hockey.

Connor: I don’t want things to change anymore. I want mom’s house to stay mom’s house. I like it there.

Adam: What are you talking about? Last time I checked, you wanted to move because of all the memories.

Connor: Yeah, but now there’s some new good ones, like the three of us at christmas. Remember? When we were all together and everybody was happy?

Adam: Yeah, we did have a good time.

Connor: And we can do it again.

Adam: Connor, you know that your mom and I — we’re not together anymore.

Chelsea: And, you know, we can be happy anywhere. So, what do you think is best? Should we move in to a house with a big backyard? You can play with all your friends. I can garden. Or maybe we could move into a building with a game room and a pool. You can swim any time you want.

Adam: Yeah, those sound like pretty doable options. Don’t you think?

Connor: Actually, I know a place that has all of those cool things, plus more.

Chelsea: You do? Where’s that?

Connor: Right here! The ranch is big enough for all of us. You’ll never find a place better than this.

Adam: Sounds like you’ve given this quite a bit of thought.

Amanda: It’s a civil suit accusing you of fraud, false advertising, mental distress, and pain and suffering.

Phyllis: I mean, I’ve been known to cause people mental distress and pain and suffering definitely, but false advertising is ridiculous.

Amanda: Yeah, the claimant is a guest who apparently didn’t get the experience that she wanted at escape club.

Phyllis: Seriously? Can I see that, please? Do you mind? Thank you. A guest who didn’t get the experience that they wanted. Oh. This girl. She was a freak. Oh, I remember this. She wanted us to create some event from her youth.

Amanda: Okay, well, that doesn’t sound too bad, reliving a happy memory.

Phyllis: No, it was about getting dumped.

Amanda: Okay, I take that back. That is really weird.

Phyllis: Yeah, but she wanted to do the dumping this time. And she had this crazy script written out, and she wanted all of us to act it out. And I had to explain, “hey, we’re a hotel. We’re not an acting troupe, you know?”

Amanda: Do you still have the script?

Phyllis: Oh, I do! I just had to save this one. Here. I’ll send it to you.

Amanda: Okay.

[ Tablet pings ]

[ Scoffs ]

[ Chuckles ] Oh, this is good.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. See what I mean?

Amanda: This is really good.

[ Chuckling ] What?

Billy: Thank you for coming by. I appreciate it. Why don’t you, uh, have a seat?

Traci: Well, your text was kind of vague, so I really hope nothing’s wrong.

Lily: No, no, no. Just the opposite.

Billy: I wanted you to come by so I could tell you in person that I abandoned the plan. It’s — it’s over.

Traci: Really? You mean no more pretending you’re drinking, you’re gambling?

Billy: No more. That was all just about me trying to rebuild my reputation, and it was taking me to a place that wasn’t good. And, you know, I appreciate the both of you for showing me the light.

Traci: I am so grateful you listened.

Billy: Well, it took me a while to get over the anger and find some clarity. But, uh, I’m good now, and i want to apologize to you for putting you in a position for having to lie for me, even if it was for a short amount of time.

Traci: No, I’m just so relieved, and I know jack will be, too.

Billy: Good. I went to adam, and I told him that I was conning him and that I am done because he’s not worth it.

Traci: Oh, billy, good for you. I just hope there’s some way for you to hang on to this feeling, for you realize that backing away was the right thing.

Billy: No. I agree. And, yes, it feels good.

Traci: And now I should tell you something. Um, I was so upset by this plan that I went to victoria to talk to her about it. I didn’t hold anything back. I told her exactly how I felt.

Billy: Is that right? And what made you think that i needed you to interfere, traci?

Lily: Well, billy, she meant well.

Billy: That’s fine, but, i mean, you know, you don’t think I can handle anything on my own or what?

Traci: Well, of course I do now, honey. But I’m just so grateful that you reassessed and that you listened to two women in your life who really love you.

Billy: You know, I just wish that you would stop treating me like a wayward child.

New vicks vapostick. Strong soothing vapors…

Sally: Since when does hanging out with someone on new year’s eve mean the end of the world?

Chloe: When the someone is adam.

Sally: It wasn’t a big deal.

Chloe: It’s affecting the way we do our jobs, which makes it an enormous deal. How many times do I have to tell you to stay away from him?

Sally: I didn’t force him to hang out with me. The man doesn’t do anything he doesn’t want to do.

Chloe: That’s not the point.

Sally: Okay, I get it. This is about chelsea. She just can’t seem to move on, even though adam has zero interest in rekindling the past. That is why she thinks I’m a problem. She’s angry. She’s threatened. And she’s being kind of vindictive.

Chloe: She is my best friend. She’s also a spectacular designer and your boss. So you running your mouth about her is probably the dumbest thing that you can do. You are putting me in a really difficult position. Both you and chelsea are incredibly talented, intelligent, ambitious women who have so much to offer. We all want this platform to be a success, and I just want us to all get along and work together as a team. But that won’t be possible if you continue on your current trajectory. So fix it.

Sally: I’m not —

Chloe: It wasn’t a suggestion.

Phyllis: “I know all about you and barbara, the tawdry e-mails, the secret meetings.”

Amanda: “Becky, I can explain –”

Phyllis: “Vince, I will do all the explaining here. You are a lying, cheating dog. It just took a while to hear you barking.”

“But I love you.”

Phyllis: “Oh, no, you love that I pay the rent. You love that I cook and clean. And those days are over. Pack your bags and give me back your key. Maybe, if you’re lucky, barbara will let you crash with her, but I think her husband might have a problem with that.”

Amanda: Ohh, I have to admit, I did not see that plot twist coming.

Phyllis: Yeah, and then it gets worse. Oh, gosh. She loses her mind on her ex, and then he gets hit by a bus.

Amanda: Well, you definitely couldn’t do that, so I guess she didn’t get the closure she wanted.

Phyllis: So that’s what this lawsuit is about — her closure. Right? I mean, I never promised her that we would hit her ex with a bus. I never did that.

Amanda: I mean, people get really vengeful after breakups.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Yeah, they do. It’s not so funny anymore, right? I mean, I have been there, so filled with rage and jealousy to the point where I just have to hit someone with my car.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ] You mean you fantasized about it.

Phyllis: Sure.

Amanda: [ Sighs ] Phyllis.

Phyllis: Anyway.

[ Both laugh ] I’ve made a lot of mistakes when it comes to men. And apparently I keep on doing it. I guess I stood jack up for christmas eve, and he’s out of town, we’re not talking, and i just feel bad. I feel selfish when it comes to jack. I feel like I rely on him too much.

Amanda: It’s okay to rely on a friend, especially when they rely on you, too.

Phyllis: I know. But I’m selfish. I really am. I feel like I’ve taken more from him than I’ve given.

Amanda: Well, it sounds like you’re trying to be a better friend, and that’s good, as long as you do that and you don’t leave him in a lurch.

Phyllis: Yeah. Hey, let’s not talk about jack anymore. Let’s discuss this lawsuit.

Amanda: Oh, don’t worry about that. I can take care of this.

Phyllis: I don’t want you to take care of it. I want to handle this in a different way.

Elena: So, let me get this straight. The hospital board is upset that you took me as your date to the fundraising banquet?

Nate: As far as I know, it’s just roland who has an issue with it. He said he didn’t think it was appropriate for a department head to be dating a first-year attending physician.

Elena: He did seem a little uptight.

Nate: Still, I can’t believe he had the nerve to call me up to criticize me about my personal life. It almost makes me wonder if being chief of surgery’s worth the hassle.

Traci: Well, of course i realize that you’re an adult, billy. That’s why I hold you accountable for your actions.

Billy: Well, it’s not exactly black and white, is it? I mean, how many times did victor screw over jack? How many times did jack feel like he had to stand up for himself? Did you ever go to victor and tell him to back down, traci?

Traci: No, but I called jack out on his behavior countless times. That ridiculous feud did devastating things to our family. And for you to hold that up as some excuse for your behavior, it makes me really sad and really angry.

Lily: Okay, look, at the end of the day, you have someone who cares about you, alright? And it’s better to have someone who cares too much than too little. So, you’ve made a huge decision. You’re in a great place emotionally. Let’s not do anything to mess this up.

Billy: I’m sorry.

Traci: Well, old patterns are difficult to break for all of us.

Billy: That is for sure.

Traci: [ Voice breaking ] I hope — I hope you will call jack with all this good news.

Billy: I will. I’ll call him later.

Traci: Okay. And I hope that you won’t think I’m your meddling sister if i ask what you plan to do now.

Billy: No. Please.

Traci: [ Laughs ] Okay.

[ Sniffles ] Well, I know that jack has offered you a position at jabot, and we all know that daddy would just have been so happy if you were back there.

Billy: Yeah, he did, and i appreciate the offer and I like the idea of that, but, uh, I’m gonna go work for lily over at chancellor as her coo.

Traci: Well, that is fantastic! I’m just so happy for both of you!

Billy: Yeah. It’s gonna be good. Of course, first things first. I have to go find jill and make things right with her.

Traci: Make amends. I’m just so proud of you, billy.

Billy: Thank you.

Traci: I know everything is gonna go just great.

Billy: I believe so, too. I appreciate that.

Lily: Well, it’s getting late. You should probably go pack.

Billy: Yeah.

Traci: Sorry.

[ Laughs ]

Billy: I love you. Thank you again. I appreciate it. I’ll see you soon, okay?

Traci: Okay.

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Traci: [ Laughs ] Alright, tell me the truth. Is billy as alright as he says he is?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Adam: Connor, you are smart enough to know that your mom — she can’t move to the ranch.

Connor: I just want us to be a family again.

Adam: Your mom and I — we love you very much.

Connor: Then we should try living together again, all of us.

Adam: Look, your mom works with me, and we’re good friends, but we’ve agreed that we’re not gonna be living together.

Connor: But nobody asked me what I wanted. And you were apart for a long time before, then got back together. You haven’t even tried this time.

Adam: That’s because, connor, these — these are grown-up decisions.

Connor: We should try living together again, see if you guys change your mind. You’d at least try if you really want me to be happy.

Adam: Connor, of course we want you to be happy. But sometimes in life things happen that we don’t like, and we have to try to accept them.

Connor: But you promised. You said we were going to be a real family again, that you’d try and work things out.

Adam: I know, and that was a long time ago. And a lot has changed since then.

Connor: I don’t want things to change anymore. I want to be a family!

Chelsea: Connor — connor, I told you. We will always be a family. We are always gonna love each other and want what’s best for each other and — and share the same jokes, share the same memories. You don’t have to live under the same roof to be a family, okay? You could be on the other side of the world. You could be — you could be on the moon, and we would still be a family.

Connor: I just want us to spend time together.

Chelsea: We will still have days like christmas. I promise, okay? And your dad and I — we’re gonna go to every game and every performance at school. We’re gonna spend so much time together — so much! But I do need to find a new place to live. It’s a big job. I could use your help. Are you up for it?

Connor: Yeah.

Chelsea: Okay. Come here.

[ Sighs ]

Amanda: I hope you don’t want to countersue because that is rarely worth it.

Phyllis: I’m going to handle this outside of the legal system.

Amanda: I strongly advise against that, but if you do, I do not need to hear —

Phyllis: I am going to offer becky a year membership for free in the escape club.

Amanda: As a strategy of de-escalation. I approve.

Phyllis: I’m gonna call becky now.

Lily: Honestly, billy is fine. He really is. He really turned a corner today. And he was doing great until victor and adam tried to cut him off at the knees, you know, which is why even though i thought his plan was outrageous, I…understood it.

Traci: You wanted to support him?

Lily: Yeah. Yeah. You know, I — I knew that he needed to regain what he lost. But I think I was able to be there for him because I love him, you know, and I knew that he needed someone to believe in him. And everything was going great until, of course, victoria had to insert herself, and then everything went awry. And I was really worried at first that he was gonna fall back into his old self-destructive behavior. But he didn’T. So, I know that, you know, you haven’t trusted his choices in the past, obviously, but I think now you can trust him a bit and let go.

Traci: Oh, I do trust him. It’s just that he takes so long to work everything out.

Lily: Yeah, I know.

Traci: [ Laughs ] Oh, lily, I’m so grateful that you’re in his life, that you love him and understand him, and that you can protect him in a way that he doesn’t resent.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, I think we just get each other, maybe ’cause we were friends for so long before we got together.

Traci: Yeah, you two do go back a long time.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Traci: You know, I look at you and sometimes I think about what colleen might be like at your age, with all of this life experience behind you and all of these adventures left ahead.

Lily: I know. I’ve been thinking about her a lot, too, lately. Just thinking back to when we were teenagers and we got tattoos and nose piercings. Remember?

Traci: Yes, I do.

Lily: And I’m like, “my gosh, neither one of us would have never know that I would become ceo of chancellor.

Traci: But she would be as proud of you as I am. Honey, ever since you were a little girl, I have always known that you have it in you to do great things. And billy is so fortunate to have you in his life.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Coughing and sneezing ]

Billy: I think that’s it.

Lily: Are you sure you don’t want me to come with you to chicago?

Billy: I mean, look, I would love for you to come to chicago with me, not only to be a buffer between and my mother, but also so I could wine and dine you and show you just how grateful I am for all the support you’ve given me lately. But most importantly, you are stepping into the new role as ceo of chancellor, and you need to be here.

Lily: Fine. When will you be back?

Billy: Before your first day. And I’ll be prepared to do whatever you ask me to do, not that you’re gonna need any help because you’re gonna be amazing. You be you, just on a grander scale, for a much bigger audience.

Lily: [ Laughs ] Have I told you that I love you?

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Lily: Yeah?

Elena: Are you saying you want to quit your job as chief of surgery?

Nate: No. It’s just, I understood taking a more administrative role would be an adjustment. I just didn’t realize how much of the job had to do with office politics and bureaucracy.

Elena: Yeah, but you’re doing such good work. You’re setting policy to improve patient outcomes, and those fundraising dinners are raising so much money for cutting-edge research.

Nate: I know. That’s why I’m determined to make it work. Well, that and the fact that I like working with you. Even though it makes some peons uncomfortable.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ]

Amanda: So…

Phyllis: So…

Amanda: …How’d it go?

Phyllis: Okay, my friend becky has gone from disgruntled to the point of suing to vip member of the escape club.

Amanda: That’s terrific.

Phyllis: Yep. She apologized profusely. She even cried a little.

Amanda: What? Phyllis, I am so proud of you. Good job.

Phyllis: Thanks.

Amanda: I guess you don’t need me.

Imani: Amanda, why didn’t you tell me elena moved in with nate?

Amanda: Because I didn’t think it was something that you needed to know.

Imani: Ugh, it would have spared me an awkward and disappointing conversation.

Phyllis: Hey. Is this imani?

Amanda: Phyllis summers, meet my sister, imani benedict, who has been nakedly thirsting after nate hastings for a while.

Imani: Hey, I resent that characterization.

Amanda: Oh?

Phyllis: Um, well, nice to meet you. Amanda has told me a lot about you, omitting the thirsting for nate. Um, but you have good taste, you know?

Imani: Thank you for the validation, phyllis. Amanda’s told me a lot about you, too.

Phyllis: Oh. What’d she say?

Imani: That you’re a great friend and a little bit of a hell-raiser.

[ Chuckles ] But that means we’ll get along great.

Phyllis: Okay. Well, we just might.

Sally: Hi. I didn’t realize you left.

Adam: Sally. What do you need?

Sally: I was hoping that you could take a look at a budget I’ve been working on for some upcoming projects.

Adam: Um, now is not a good time.

Chelsea: Try not to take it personally. Adam’s main priority will always be his family. I’m sure you understand.

Sally: Of course I do. I should get back to work. Actually [Sighs]… I spoke with chloe, and there is something that I need to get off my chest.

Meet ron.

Phyllis: Hey, jack. It’s phyllis. Um, I — I hope I’m getting your voicemail because you’re in an important meeting and not because you pressed “decline” when you saw my name pop up. Mnh. That’s a joke. Just — anyway, um, I’m just checking in, saying hi. Bye.

Chelsea: Okay. Tell me what’s on your mind. Really. I’m interested.

Sally: [ Sighs ] I just want to apologize for any and all misunderstandings. I hope I have not given you the wrong impression.

Chelsea: And what would that be?

Sally: That I am after adam. Because I’m not.

Chelsea: Really?

Sally: I respect him as my boss, and I am very grateful for his professional support, but that’s it. All I want it to work with you.

Chelsea: For me.

Sally: And to learn from you.

Chelsea: Well, I’m really happy to hear that ’cause at the end of the day, we have the same goal — for the fashion platform to be an unqualified success.

Billy: You’re not worth my time. You’re not worth the space in my head. You’re — you’re really not worth anything to anyone. You will always be the runner-up newman, the epic failure, two steps behind all the time.

Lily: Why are you in such a rush to leave?

Billy: Because the sooner i get out of here, the sooner i can get back into your lovin’ arms.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Are we gonna pick up where we left off?

Billy: Oh, no, no, no. Brand-new start.

Lily: So, how billy and lily conquer the world.

Billy: Oh, wow.

Lily: Step one — I am going to prepare an agenda for my first day at chancellor.

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Lily: And step two — I will craft a press release announcing you as my new coo.

Billy: Skip step two. Focus on step one. And don’t worry, okay? Don’t work so hard. You got this.

Lily: Okay. Well, good luck in chicago.

Billy: Thank you. I’m gonna need it.

Lily: And, listen, jill understands what you were up against with adam and victor, so I’m sure she’ll forgive a few harsh words, okay? And then you’ll come back to me.

Billy: That’s the plan. That is the plan. Okay. Come here.Billy: One more for the road. Mm-mmm! Alright.

Lily: Okay. Call me when you land.

Billy: I will. I love you.

Lily: I love you, too. Bye.

Billy: Bye.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Knock on door ] Working late? Hey. You didn’t have to come yourself. I could’ve called the baby nurse to pick up bailey. Well, now that peter’s awake, I don’t want to take any chances. If it were up to me, I wouldn’t take my eyes off this little angel. I appreciate that. Unfortunately, peter is not our only problem now that my grandmother’s back in town. Your grandmother tracy? Yes. So, if you see her in the house or anywhere, really, steer clear. You don’t want to have anything to do with her. So you don’t want me to take bailey back to the house? Not till like the last possible moment? Well, then… looks like it’s just you and me, kid. Ava: Thank you so much. And can we have another setting, please? Are we expecting someone else? Yes, trina. This is a — thank you. It’s a working dinner with our new employee. And he’s right on time. There is a lull right now, so if you want to vent about the situation with your mom and sonny, now would be the time. I’m so pissed at sonny. Keep going. He totally protected nina in court. She’ll never have to pay for what she did. He doesn’t even view it as a crime. He’s completely betrayed his family, especially my mom. Well, has your mom said anything? Not directly. You should’ve seen her on new year’S. I mean, she’s hurting so bad. I’m sorry that your family has to go through this, but I think that everything will be okay. I mean, how many times have your mom and sonny been married? One more time than they’ve been divorced? Exactly. I think they’ll get through this.

[ Sighs ] This time I’m not so sure. I really think that my mom and sonny may have broken up for real. Oh, my god. That’s terrible. Yeah, it is. Thank you. So, does that mean we can’t use the cabin?

[ Knock on door ] Am I interrupting? Are you kidding? Of course not. You are exactly the person that I needed to see. Hello! In fact, I was gonna drop by charlie’s when I got done with work. Well, I’m glad I saved you a trip. I bet you can guess what I needed to talk to you about. The hearing? Oh, my god, phyllis. It was crazy. You — you won’t believe what happened. I know exactly what happened. It finally came out that you and sonny fell in love. Yeah. It was a disaster. You’re right. It is. So what are you gonna do about it? Everything we talked about — sonny told you how he felt about nina and you were honest with him about how you felt about jason on your wedding day. But have you been honest with him about how you feel about him still?

[ Footsteps approach ] Hey. What are you doing here? I live here. I… I don’t want to leave until we settle things.

Olivia, can I have some time with my wife? Of course. I was just on my way out. I’m rooting for you. Don’t let me down.

[ Door opens, closes ] How’s donna and avery? They miss you. I told them you were away on business. I don’t want them to think that I’m gone. Unlike nina, I have no desire to keep you away from your family. Good, ’cause I want to come home. I — we’ve been apart too long. Sonny, look — no. I know I made a mistake, and I should’ve told you from the beginning, despite my reasons. What reasons, sonny? I told you — jason died. Right, and sasha and brando lost their baby and you didn’t want to cause any more pain. Is that right? Sasha and — and… brando went through a — a terrible tragedy and it broke my heart. And then we lost jason, and you were able to express your hurt, your grief. I lost my best friend, my brother, and I had to stuff all that inside. I thought that I had to be tough for — for you. And I was afraid of losing you and I didn’t want this thing between nina to come between us, so I didn’T… I didn’t say anything, and I should have, and it made it worse. But now I’ve been apart from you for nine months and one night. One more minute without you. Hi. Hi!

[ Chuckles ] Hi. Hi. Are we — are we… are we still on for tonight? Why wouldn’t we be? I don’t know. Maybe an emergency — family, friends, the — the weather?

[ Laughs ] Maybe you’re having second thoughts? No, never. There’s no way I’m missing our first official date. I even brought a dress for the occasion.

[ Both laugh ]

[ Water running in distance ] Hold on. Don’t tell me you’ve changed your mind. Me? Yeah. No. No. Never. I’m just, uh… I’m just really happy you’ve, um… …you feel like you can move on with me. I think… franco would want me to be happy. And i am happy. With you.

[ Both chuckle ] Josslyn: That’s nice. My mother’s marriage is falling apart and you’re worried about a weekend getaway. You’re right, josslyn. It was insensitive of me, and I am truly, truly sorry. Apology accepted. It’s just — we don’t have to keep talking about this. All I can think about is spence. You know, he’s with ava right now to discuss restitution. He must be hating life right now. I mean, it’s torture. Not only this business with ava, but the whole going-to-prison thing. I mean… literally, the only thing he was looking forward to was our trip to the cabin. Look, I’m really sorry, but the last thing I want is to ask sonny for anything. I understand. I just don’t know how I’ll tell spence this, that the weekend is off. I mean, on top of everything else, how can I take this from him, too? Trina. I didn’t know you were gonna be here. Same here. You know what? I’ll leave you two to discuss one-on-one. No, please don’t leave on my account. I never mind seeing you. You, on the other hand… there’s no need to flatter trina. You already have the job. My job is usually paid. This feels more like indentured servitude. Court-mandated indentured servitude. You owe me, spencer, for the damage your little fake-blood stunt did to my gallery, not to mention the art itself. Now, before we talk business, why don’t we have a little something to eat, huh? What should we have — surf, turf, both? I can’t afford to eat anything here. You have a stranglehold on my trust fund. Well, who do you think is paying for this meal? Order whatever you like, trina. It’s on spencer. So, have you heard anything about your suspension? Not a peep, which is fine. Really? Yeah. Not having to work means I have more time to look after this little troublemaker. And when I’m not watching her, I fill my time with working out and looking up random facts. Did you know the severed head of a sea slug can grow its whole body back? Leo would find that fascinating. I just — I find that repulsive.

[ Clears throat ] Why can’t it be both? Why not? Chase, are you okay, really? I was just so eager to get out of the wheelchair and — and now that I’m — I’m able-bodied, I-I’m still kept from doing what I love. I mean, brook lynn, it is beyond frustrating. I’m so sorry. I told you, it’s — it’s not your fault. Yeah, but I can’t help but feel responsible. You were suspended for punching valentin, defending my honor. And I would do it all over again. Oh! Thank god you’re here. What’s wrong? Is someone hurt? Not yet, but if you don’t talk me down, I’m going to crimson and rearrange nina’s lying face. You knew about what happened at the hearing? See, you were under the weather. I just assumed that you were out of the loop. One thing I’ll never take for granted again about life in nixon falls — whenever lenny and I had problems with our marriage, they never ended up on the news. What? You found out about this on the news? Yes, and kristina also filled me in on what happened at the hearing. Yeah, I’m sure she had a mouthful to say about me. She did, but she’s hurt and confused, like I imagine you are. Phyllis, listen, you have to believe me. I didn’t want anyone to know about me and sonny. No one! Especially not like this! I know. And now sonny and carly’s marriage, it’s in trouble and he was a wreck on new year’s eve. You saw sonny on new year’s eve, alone? Nina, honey, you’re asking for trouble.

So, then willow testified that she had overheard sonny and nina talking about falling in love in nixon falls, which then sonny confirmed, also on the stand. Poor willow. Poor willow? How did carly react? You know what? I, uh — I have to meet my brother at G.H., So I’m gonna take bailey and I will leave you two to talk. You’re — you’re introducing the baby to your brother? Yeah. It’s gonna be fine. Oh, and I almost forgot. Um, figured you might be working late, so turkey on rye — your favorite. I added a banana because you always seem to steal mine. Thanks. Uh, and don’t you think for a second that my banana-stealing days are over. Wouldn’t have it any other way. See ya. Bye. Bye. Bye, sweetie. Bailey, can you say bye? “Bye.” Bye, cookie. Bye, beauty. We’re gonna work on that, okay? Okay.

[ Chuckles ] Ah! So… enough about my news. You tell me — what’s going on? Tell me every little detail. What?

[ Laughing ] About you and chase, obviously. Trina and I came up with a list of projects you can tackle at the gallery after you serve your sentence. If I had known that this plea deal meant working for you, I would’ve fought for more prison time. Well, that’s gratitude for you. Luckily, I have good news. Great. Can’t wait to hear it. You won’t be working for me. You’ll be working for trina. Don’t worry, I will break the news to spence, once he finds out what’s been going on with sonny. No, you know what? It’s okay. She’s right. We promised spencer a fun time at the cabin and considering it’s the last bit of fun he’ll have for a long time — josslyn, do you mean it? Well, I said it, so… that’s so decent of you, and I know it will mean the world to spence. Yeah, well, the way I see it, after what he did to my mom, sonny owes me and I could use some time away.

[ Chuckles ] I know that feeling. I mean, before they died, my parents were in the process of splitting up. It was brutal. It’s never easy. I’m sorry. What, um — what happened? What didn’t? I mean, you both know the drill, right? He betrayed her, she betrayed him, and they blamed each other. I was devastated. I’m so sorry. Thanks, joss. But I’m not. I may have been just a kid, but it taught me a valuable lesson. There’s a circle of hell reserved for people who tear families apart. No, no, no, no. Nothing happened with sonny. Trust me, whenever the two of you are together, something happens. You have unresolved feelings for each other. Whether you act on those feelings or not is beside the point. Right now, being together — even casually — is inappropriate. I know. You’re probably right.

[ Sighs ] But? But you said so yourself — sonny has unresolved feelings for me. What point are you making? Well, I was chatting with my friend ava and she got me thinking. We all deserve happiness in life, right? And I know this sounds crazy, and, right or wrong — and not now, not now — but what if sonny’s happiness lies with me? See, that’s the man I married. Because that’s who I am, carly. When you said you had reasons for keeping the truth about you and nina from me… …what reasons? What other reasons? The other reasons were that — that what happened with nina doesn’t — doesn’t matter, doesn’t exist, or whatever. That’s not the truth! That’s not the truth! What do you — what do you mean, that’s not the truth? The reason you didn’t tell me is because you knew I would ask the inevitable question. Do we have to do this? Yes, we do! I asked you last night, and I’m gonna ask you again, and if you can’t answer me, you’re gonna have to turn around and leave. Do you have feelings for nina? Do you have feelings for nina?!

Spencer’s working for me? But it’s your gallery. Yes, but I-I won’t be there very much in the coming months. Nikolas and I are planning to renew our vows. You know, our first wedding was so last-minute and we want to plan something very elegant. And in my absence, you will supervise spencer. That’s no better. No offense, trina. You think I want this? Excuse me. Trina, trina, wait. Oh, sit down, spencer. We’re not finished here yet. Cameron: I know how you feel. My family was torn apart last year when franco was killed. I…almost let my anger get the best of me. Sometimes, uh, anger can be fuel.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Oh, excuse me. Um… hi. Hold on. Just give me one second. Hey, what’s up? I’m at the metro court with ava and spencer and things just went totally sideways. Sorry. I, um, got a little intense there. No, no, it’s fine. You’re — you’re entitled. Thanks. It’s just that, um, I didn’t grow up with my biological family, and the family that chose me imploded. That’s probably why I’m so devoted to spence. I mean, he’s my family now. Makes sense. But as far as anger… you don’t agree? Look, I’m sure you’re right. Anger can be fuel. But we can’t let it overrun us. Isn’t it anger that drove you and spencer to stalk ava? It’s complicated, carly. I have feelings for nina, but I’m — I’m getting over it. You just don’t get over that.

[ Scoffs ] You speaking from experience? Oh. Don’t do that. Wh– don’t — don’t even do that. When you asked me about jason, I was honest. Yeah, but you didn’t tell me right away. I told you within days. Did I not answer every question you asked? Yeah. And I’ve been asking you for months to tell me what happened in nixon falls and you consciously kept it from me! But that wasn’t me. But when you were with jason, that was you. I don’t blame you for how you felt as mike, but you owed me the truth. You owe me the truth! Carly, we’re not gonna be able to get through this if we’re not under the same roof. You said you weren’t nina’s victim. And now I realize how true that was. You were her accomplice. How many times have you told me that sonny and i shouldn’t ignore our feelings for each other? I advised you to come to terms with your feelings. That’s very different. Well, if sonny and carly separate — if — then… do you think it’s possible that sonny and i could be together? First, I’ll answer the question you asked. Yes, it’s possible. Now I’ll answer the question you didn’t ask. If it’s possible, do I think you should act on your feelings? Hell no.

So, basically, spencer would be working as a handyman? Has he ever even held a hammer? I don’t think it’s just about the work. Ava is not making this easy on him. He and esme stalked ava for months. They made implied threats to avery, and, oh, yeah, they set ava’s car on fire. Look, I know that spencer’s our friend, but after what he’s done, he’s getting off easy. I admit, I had a little fun at your expense. You mean kicked me while I’m down? That’s low, ava, even for you. Mm. Still, not quite as low as leaving a teddy bear with a murderer’s voice for my child to find. But why involve trina? Because, aside from paying for what you did to me, your true task is to make restitution to trina. Do you think that I need the money that you doing odd jobs at the gallery will save me? Restitution isn’t only about money, spencer. It’s about righting wrongs… repairing what’s been broken, restoring what’s been stolen. I never took anything from trina. Can you honestly say that you didn’t hurt trina? One of my greatest regrets is how I treated trina. I should’ve been honest. I should’ve told her that i already had a girlfriend. And I shouldn’t have asked her to cover for me when she didn’t realize that I was actually going after you, so… but I just don’t think that I’m gonna be able to make that up to her. You can try. You know, framing a few pictures at the gallery with trina, that’s — that’s not gonna fix the trust that you’ve broken. But trying to make her job easier, that — that could go a long way. I think they calmed down a bit. They were pretty intense for a while.

Thanks for listening. Anytime. You know I always got your back. You’re right. About the anger thing and about what spence and I did to ava. Guess I’m still a work in progress. We all are. Trust me, I am not judging. If you knew what anger drove me to do when franco was killed… do tell. All I’ll say is that I was impulsive and I was reckless and I am just very grateful that I had people around me who were patient and forgiving. Angry cameron sounds, um, quite intriguing. And you’ll never meet him. Not if I can help it. That was trina. Sounds like spencer’s super unhappy with whatever ava cooked up for his restitution. Trina’s there? Uh… spence didn’t mention that, uh, she would be at the meeting. Maybe he didn’t know. Well, even if she is, what’s the big deal? We’re all friends here, right? Well, hello, sweetheart. It’s so nice to see you. Are you all snuggly and comfortable with your daddy?

[ Chuckles ] It’s about time I got to meet my niece. She’s beautiful. Oh, that’s all her mother. Yeah, definitely. I think you had something to do with it.No. Well, I should get back to work before epiphany notices. Congratulations. And I will see you later. I’ll see you later. Well, I-I can’t believe my little brother’s a father. Well, bailey’s not the only good news in the family. Hmm? Am I imagining things, or do you and elizabeth seem… closer? I-I-I think maybe elizabeth and i have decided to see… where this can go. Well, what finally changed? She did, mostly. I mean, she’d been through a lot since, uh… well, I just think she thought maybe that she’s ready now. Well, it’s been a tough year for both of you. I’m glad you can look forward to the future together. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. And what about you? What does your future hold? Me and chase, we’re — we’re friends. There’s nothing going on with us. Come on, now. I saw the energy between you two, and don’t argue with me on this. I have a nose for these things. Okay, this isn’t the reason why you came here. No. So, how is carly taking the news about sonny? That’s why I am so steamed. I — carly is so angry at sonny right now — and rightfully so. Of course. But — but she’s also torn because she desperately wants to forgive sonny, but this was just a really — a massive betrayal to get past, so… well, if you can forgive my dad…

[ Sighs ] Yes. Your father and i have forgiven each other for many things. Then carly can forgive uncle sonny, can’t she? I’m sorry if that was blunt. No, it’s okay. I just don’t want you to get so worked up when you’re recovering. Some of the responsibility for this situation lies with me. No, phyllis, no. What did you do? If I had been completely honest with you after sonny regained his memory, you might not still be fantasizing about a future with him. Well, as lenny would say, “it’s never too late for settin’ straight.” So, nina, are you ready to get real? Nina’s accomplice? You’re her protector. You told me to lay off her. I didn’t want a war. Well, look where that got us. You promised me that nina would stay away from our family, but that didn’t stop the two of you from reminiscing at the hospital chapel together. I mean, are you kidding me? Are you gonna stand in my way now? Are you, sonny? Are you gonna ask me not to go after nina, after she fired the first shot at the hearing? Are you? I don’t know what that’s gonna accomplish. Just forget about nina. “Forget about nina.” Like you have? Alright, so… you don’t want to trust me. You don’t — you don’t want to forgive me. Am I wasting my time? Are you saying that there’s no hope for our marriage?

You know, fatherhood has been great so far, but without my job, I’m — I kind of feel useless, like I don’t have a purpose, and I get the feeling that I’m starting to bug brook lynn. First things first, alright? Being a dad — greatest job there is. And there’s nothing useless about spending time with your little girl. That being said, I understand that your suspension has made you feel restless. That’s not gonna last forever. Here’s hoping. As for brook lynn? I thought you two were, um…good friends. Well, usually, we are. Hmm. But lately, our — our vibe has been off. I mean, hanging out with brook lynn, it’s — it’s effortless. But lately, it’s just been awkward, like… I’m not sure what’s come between us.

[ Laughs ] You’re wearing her, bro. Coparenting bailey with brook lynn has brought a new dynamic into your friendship and there is bound to be some bumps in the road as you try to figure things out. Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Yeah. Everything else is gonna fall into place. How can you be so sure? Comes with frequently being right.

[ Chuckles ] Just think about everything you overcame this past year, and you’re still standing, literally. Thanks to you. And your own resilience. You know, I — I know I’ll never have your optimism, but I hope to be able to learn to embrace life the way you do. Hi. It looks like you already have. Where are you going? I’m trying to find our waitress. I can’t stand to be here one more second.

[ Clears throat ] So I’m gonna get my dinner to go. After all, I did pay for it. Ava ambushed both of us. I didn’t know she was gonna have me supervise you. I’ll decline. No, don’T. I’m — I am grateful for the opportunity to work for you. If you’ll have me. Why not? Good help is hard to find. Thanks, cam. What do I owe you? On the house. You’re a lifesaver. And, joss, um… I hope your mom and stepdad can weather this storm, and if they can’t, doesn’t mean you can’t emerge strong anyway. Thank you. I’ll see you both soon. Thanks again for the caffeine and for the cabin. I know what it’s costing you. Am I crazy, or did that almost seem sincere? You’ve always — always — been real with me. That’s why I value our friendship so much. And I hope we continue to be friends after I say this. Okay, give it to me. Sonny may not see himself as a victim, but what you did to him — pretending not to know who he really was, keeping him from his family, including the grandson you both shared, allowing him to fall in love with you — that was a violation, and the only way for you to make this right is to leave sonny alone. What if sonny doesn’t want to be left alone? Let carly and sonny figure this out. Whatever the next step is, it’s not yours to take. If there’s any chance for us, you need to be honest with me. I already admitted that I — that I have feelings for nina. It’s confusing. It’s compli– I don’t want to have these feelings, carly. That’s as honest as I can be. You said you didn’t have sex. Did you kiss her? Did you touch her? It doesn’t matter. It matters to me. Why do you want to hurt yourself like — you’re already hurt. I can’t forgive you if I don’t know what I’m forgiving, right? But you think this is gonna help, but it’s not gonna help. It can’t be worse than what I’m imagining in my head, sonny! Tell me!

[ Sighs ] To move forward, you have to forget. For me to move forward, I have to know every last detail. That was mike. I’m sonny. Your daughter wanted you to have that cookie.

[ Door opens, closes ]
