[ Footsteps approaching ]

Chance: What’s going on in the kitchen?

Abby: Everything is good. Pamela just wanted me to try this new sauce that she’s been working on.

Chance: I hope you told her that we’re just stopping for a drink. She didn’t need to make anything.

Abby: I did, but when I told her we had good news, she insisted on sending me out my favorite appetizer.

Chance: See? I was afraid that was gonna happen.

Abby: Don’t worry. She’s whipping something up for you, too.

Chance: Oh, okay.

Abby: Mm. [ Chuckles ] Hey!

Amanda: Oh, hi.

Devon: Hey, you two. You guys on a date also?

Abby: Well, we are having a celebratory drink. Did devon tell you that the people responsible for the explosion that injured chance have been apprehended?

Amanda: Yes. Yes, he did. You must be so relieved. I’m sure you’re so much more comfortable being out in public now.

Chance: Yes. Yes. I’m just glad that the mission was completed.

Abby: Hey, why don’t you guys join us?

Devon: Oh, no, we don’t want to intrude on you guys. That’s okay.

Abby: I have new pictures of dominic.

Devon: You do?

Abby: Mm-hmm.

Devon: Well, alright. How can I resist that?

[ Laughter ] Sure.

Nate: [ Sighs ] Guess I’ll get a cup of coffee for the road.

Elena: I thought you were staying.

Nate: That wouldn’t be in doubt if you would have answered the question I asked you earlier.

Elena: You mean about us living together?

Nate: You wanted time to think about it, so I’m giving you all the time you need. No pressure.

Elena: I have an answer. But before I give it to you, I have a confession to make.

Phyllis: No, summer, don’t worry about it. Listen, everybody splurges around this time of year. Yes. Of course. You and kyle have to be prepared to open all those gifts yourself because harrison’s attention span — I mean, he’s not gonna do it. I know.

[ Laughs ] Alright. I love you, baby. We’ll talk later. Hi.

Nick: Hey.

Phyllis: Hey. Uh…

[ Chuckles nervously ] Uh, do you want to send that with all the other gifts, uh, to italy? We could send those together.

Nick: Yeah, I already mailed my stuff to italy. This is for you.

Victor: Hey, son.

Adam: Dad.

[ Door closes ] I, uh, wasn’t expecting you tonight.

Victor: Yeah, well, I wanted to find out how things went with you and chelsea at the penthouse.

Adam: [ Exhales sharply ] Um, well, talk about returning to the scene of the crime. It’s a little strange, being there with her.

Victor: I bet.

Adam: Fortunately, connor doesn’t know anything about it, though.

Victor: Well, that’s a tricky situation, isn’t it, I mean, knowing how much connor wants his parents to be reunited, you know?

Adam: Yeah, well, I made it clear that that is not gonna happen.

Victor: Does chelsea know the two of you have no future together?

Adam: I think so.

Victor: Uh-huh.

Adam: She’s, um, focused on starting the next chapter of her life.

Victor: Mm.

Adam: She finally met sally in person today.

Victor: Hmm. How did that go?

Adam: Well enough that chelsea decided to take the job at newman fashion.

Victor: Really? Huh. Well, that way, you can keep an eye on her, you know? And talking about surveillance, by the way, how’s it going with those videos that were sent to you? Who did that? Did you find out?

Adam: I’m fairly confident I know who it is.

Lily: Aw, so sad. You’re packing up our little interview studio. I thought we could get more practice in.

Billy: You don’t need any more of that.

Lily: Well, I really loved the wrap party.

Billy: Oh, yeah. Well, we got plenty of time for that. We will practice until perfection.

Lily: I thought we were perfect. What are you talking about? What’s, uh — what’s wrong?

Billy: Jack should be here any minute. I asked him to come over so we could discuss the plan with him, like we agreed.

Lily: Okay. Do you want me to make myself scarce? I can.

Billy: No. I would prefer you stay here, if that’s okay.

Lily: Sure.

[ Knock on door ]

Billy: [ Sighs ] Here we go.

Lily: Mm-hmm.

Billy: Hey there. Come on in.

Jack: If this is another pitch to get me to fund a bid for chanccomm, I haven’t changed my mind, and I don’t intend to.

Billy: Actually, this is something different altogether and something that lily and i both agree we should share with you.

Jack: Okay. What’s this about? Hi. So you’re the scientist here.

Phyllis: Um… wow, you didn’t — you didn’t have to get me anything.

[ Sighs ] Unless it’s one of those things that I left behind at your house and you wrapped it up as a gift. I mean, in that case, you really didn’t have to get me anything.

Nick: Uh…no. This is something I got for you awhile back, when we were still together. And it’s custom-made, so I can’t send it back.

Phyllis: Mm. Well, that is too bad.

Nick: Probably should have just held onto it, you know, until things were less weird between us.

Phyllis: Weird. I mean, that’s what I would have done. I would have, um… in fact, that’s what I did.

Nick: Are you saying you got me something, too?

Phyllis: Do you want to come see it?

Nate: Thank you.

Elena: So…there are some things that we may have to face if we live together.

Nate: Like?

Elena: Well, I’m not sure if you can handle living with someone who doesn’t like the smell of food cooking in the morning. It makes me nauseous. So I only keep cold breakfast foods in the house.

Nate: Oh, no! Guess I’m gonna have to go out if I want sausage and pancakes.

Elena: [ Chuckles ] Or you can do it when I’m on my morning run, which I haven’t been doing when we spend the night together, but I usually like to get out really early, which could also be annoying.

Nate: Good thing I’m a doctor who’s used to crazy hours.

Elena: I also don’t like to share closets. I like to keep everything orderly and color-coordinated. Is that something you can handle?

Nate: Well, uh, I don’t know. Guess I may have to clean out a closet or two just for you.

Elena: [ Chuckles ]

Nate: That might be tough.

Elena: Well, I should think that I’m worth it.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] You definitely are. And thank you for sharing this side of yourself with me. I guess I have to reciprocate in kind.

Elena: Okay.

Nate: If we were to live together, you have a right to know that I have an enormous baseball card collection.

Elena: [ Laughs ]

Nate: It comes with me wherever I go.

Elena: Ooh. That’s so cute.

Nate: You think my collection is cute?

Elena: No, no. I think it’s a ridiculous hobby. But it’s adorable that you don’t think I knew about it. I’ve seen your tower of boxes in the spare bedroom.

Nate: Okay, if you thought it was so ridiculous, why didn’t you say something?

Elena: Because I’m a polite person…and I like that you’re an open book.

Nate: There’s more.

Elena: Oh.

Nate: When no one’s around, I like to wear a homemade avocado mask. It’s the reason my skin stays so luminous.

Elena: [ Laughing ] Oh, my gosh. That explains so much!

[ Laughs ] Okay, so, would you mind making me one of these masks every now and again?

Nate: Definitely. But it’s not like you need one.

Elena: Okay. And maybe I can reciprocate by helping you organize your closets.

Nate: Oh, that’s very sweet of you, but, no, I have my own system.

Elena: No, you don’T. I’ve peeked inside your closets.

Nate: Yes, I do. Warm-weather clothes in the front, cold-weather clothes in the back.

Elena: That is not a system.

Nate: I always find what I’m looking for.

Elena: [ Laughs ] I suppose that’s all that matters.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] So, what do you think? Can a couple of goofballs like us be happy living under the same roof?

Elena: I guess we will have to see… because my answer is yes. I would love to live with you and your baseball cards and your avocado masks.

[ Laughs ]

Nate: Come here.

Elena: [ Laughs ]

Adam: Well, it occurred to me who might be sending the videos of billy, so I confronted the person, but they would neither confirm nor deny. But they did throw out the phrase “plausible deniability.”

Victor: So, they’re remaining anonymous for your sake — or so they want you to believe, right?

Adam: Well, I think they’re sincere. I think that their interests are aligned with newman media’S. But, uh, that’s probably all i should say at this point.

Victor: So, you expect me to trust you because you trust them?

Adam: Look, the point that we should focus on is that billy is unraveling right before our very eyes, okay? We didn’t force it, we didn’t contrive it, or we didn’t even arrange for it to be on video for posterity. We have him right where we want him, don’t we?

Victor: But that’s the point. We do. He’s no longer at chanccomm. We’ve publicly humiliated him. Isn’t that enough?

Adam: Billy is still out there running his mouth off to anybody who will listen that ashland locke committed fraud, despite chanccomm’s official retraction. If someone gives you an opportunity to discredit billy, we have to run with that. Why should we show mercy now?

Victor: Well, I can’t argue with that, although I suggest we proceed very carefully, okay? And I want to be kept in the loop.

Adam: Of course.

Billy: You asked me before what I plan to do now that jill has decided to sell chanccomm. And I have a plan, one that doesn’t require anything of you, no investment, nothing.

Jack: Okay. Sounds good so far.

Billy: Lily is the only one that knows about this, and she feels like it’s important to bring you in and give you a heads-up.

Jack: Does lily think that once I find out what you’re up to, maybe I’ll dissuade you from following through?

Lily: No, no, no. I’m actually behind billy on this one. But even though we both agree with the end goal, there’s some concerns we have that we think you should be aware of.

Jack: Okay. I’m listening. Did you know some deodorants may not last all day?

Abby: Can you believe it? Look at his sweet little face! Oh, my gosh, the expression. I can’t decide if he’s smiling or if he’s trying not to cry.

Devon: Can you send it to me, please? I want that picture.

Abby: Absolutely. Yeah, yeah. It’s the least I could do after letting us live-stream with you while we were in spain.

Devon: Oh, yeah.

Abby: It was such a powerful moment, chance seeing his son for the first time.

Chance: Yeah, it was like nothing I’ve ever experienced.

Devon: Well, hey, if I would have known what was going on, i would have combed his hair and put him in a nicer outfit, you know?

Amanda: Aw, no, I’m sure that chance thought that he was perfect just the way he was.

Chance: So perfect.

Abby: You know, I started showing chance the video diary that I made while he was gone.

Devon: Did you get to the entry yet where I made a cameo?

Abby: [ Laughs ]

Chance: No, I didn’t know there were special guests.

Abby: Yes, yes. You know, we shot it early in the pregnancy, and mariah and tessa were there, too.

Devon: Yeah. You can skip straight to them because there’s a reason why i stay behind the scenes.

Amanda: What? Now I am curious. I mean, should I get abby to send me a copy?

Devon: No! No, don’t do that. I was just being corny on it, talking about all the music that we played for dominic during the pregnancy and everything we’re gonna do together once he’s born.

Amanda: Aww, that’s so sweet.

Chance: Well, I’m sure I’ll get a kick out of it, man. I’m just really grateful that i got some glimpses of what i missed. You know, of course when abby started recording, she had no idea how long I’d be gone, so i got a lot of lost time to make up for.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: Well, remember, though man, you also got a bunch of milestones that haven’t even happened yet, you know? You got his first steps.

Chance: Yeah.

Abby: First words.

Chance: Hey.

Abby: Yeah, wouldn’t surprise me if the first thing he said was “da-da,” and I am sure you’ll be there for that.

Phyllis: Um, I was debating on whether or not to give this to you. You know, I was kind of leaning against it.

Nick: So, what were you gonna do?& Just keep it wrapped up here forever?

Phyllis: No, I was thinking of giving it to summer and that she could give it to you. But, you know, since you have a gift for me, I don’t have a choice.

Nick: [ Sighs ] You know I’m gonna be able to tell if you’re just re-gifting something that you got from the office christmas party, right?

Phyllis: No. It’s not a re-gift. You’re gonna know it’s from me. It’s from somebody who knows you really well, so… this doesn’t have to be awkward, right?

Nick: Nah, I think we’re past that stage. And if we’re not, then we should be.

Phyllis: You want to go first?

Billy: Before I start, I just want to make it very clear and hope you realize just how upside down this whole public scandal has been. Victor and adam quite successfully made it look like i intentionally published an article — a made-up, phony article — about ashland locke, which I would not do for many reasons.

Jack: Yeah. I know that. We’ve covered all this. And the retraction that you published only reinforced their lie.

Lily: Well, we were forced to do that because of ashland’s impending lawsuit.

Billy: The irony of that is that we are now being sued for reckless disregard for the truth, which is the exact opposite of the actual truth. And I can’t let that perception stand.

Jack: Whoa, whoa, wait. I thought we were here to discuss how you can move forward from this mess.

Billy: We are, very much so, but I can’t move forward without reclaiming my dignity and my credibility.&

Jack: I realize it’s difficult for you to accept the fact that adam and victor won this round, but, look, even if you could get gaines to change his story —

Lily: No, no, no, we’re done dealing with gaines. Trust me — we learned our lesson.

Billy: The goal now is to expose newman media for the double-dealing backstabbers that they are, in essence, trick victor and adam into exposing themselves.

Jack: May I ask how you intend to do that?

Billy: Well, quite simple, actually. Give them exactly what they want on a silver platter. Make their darkest dreams come true. Of course, it won’t actually be true. But it won’t matter to them, and that is the point.

Jack: Okay, I’m still not clear on what you’re proposing.

Billy: They don’t care what lies or garbage they spew out into the world or the damage that it causes, as long as they get what they want.

Jack: Wait. That’s your plan? To give them some fake story and hope they run with it?

Billy: This is not just going to be some story. It’ll be a story that they will not be able to resist.

Jack: I am almost afraid to ask.

Billy: The tragic demise of billy abbott, the once-promising ceo who is now swallowed up in despair and addiction. They will eat it up with a spoon. And when the time is right, i will turn the tables and sue them.

Jack: What the hell — you’re not serious.

Start your day with crest 3d

white

Phyllis: Wow. Okay. “Love always, nick.” Oh, wow. This is amazing. This is something that is only for me, isn’t it? This is beautiful. Thank you.

Nick: You’re welcome.

Phyllis: Do you want to open yours?

Nick: It’s a — a cologne with my name on it? Essence of nicholas?

Phyllis: Yeah. Um…I worked with a company, uh, on a fragrance that is customized. You know, it’s for you only. They have this whole questionnaire. You fill it out. Like, what’s your astrological sign? What’s your height, your hobbies? So, I don’t know. It just — I thought it would be nice, just, um… nobody else will have that scent. That’s yours.

Nick: You obviously put a lot of time and effort into this. Thank you.

Phyllis: Yeah. I worked with them for a few months on it.

Nick: You know, even if you hadn’t put your name on the tag, I would have known this is from you. I mean, you are literally the only person in my life that would do something like this for me.

Phyllis: [ Voice breaking ] I hope we never lose this.

Nick: What?

Phyllis: Our connection. I hope we never lose it. It’s hard to find someone who gets you. It’s hard to find that special bond with somebody.

Nick: The real gifts are the friendships that you make along the way.

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ] I knew you were gonna say that.

[ Both laugh ] See, I get you.

Nick: Yeah. Well, I hope we don’t lose our connection, either.

Phyllis: I love this. Thank you. Merry christmas, nick.

Nick: You too.

Devon: Yeah, trust me, chance. It’s not gonna take long for you to catch up where dom’s concerned.

Amanda: Yeah, and devon is the ultimate baby whisperer. He figured everything out in the short time that dom was with us.

Chance: That’s good to know. You’ll have to tell me some of your secrets.

Abby: Hey, you’re gonna find your rhythm with the baby. But in the meantime, I can give you a few tricks that I’ve learned.

Chance: Please. I’m all ears. Come on.

[ Laughter ]

Abby: Okay, first things first — you have to have two binkies, one in his mouth and one in his tiny little hand. He just grips it. He’s a planner, just like mama. He has to have a backup binky. And he also loves it when I make this noise. He laughs every single time. You just have to go, “blb-blb-blb-blb-blb-blb!”

Devon: He does like that.

Chance: I can do that. Blb-blb-blb-blb-blb-blb!

Devon: He likes that a lot. You got it. You got it. Now, if you really want to just, like, put him down or get him relaxed to go to sleep, just play some music ’cause he loves it. He loves it so much. Anything with a good drumbeat. Max roach he likes a lot.

Abby: Ah, a jazz fan already? Alright.

Devon: Yeah, yeah. Also, too, if you whisper, like whisper little soothing hush sounds in his ears while he’s going to sleep, works well.

Abby: I’ll have to try that. Where’d you learn that?

Devon: Online, actually. Yeah, I found this parenting group that has a lot of great information for newbies. It’s really good. I’ll send you the link to it.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: But you can’t follow all their advice ’cause I tried this one thing where I massaged his belly after he ate, and i swear he yelled at me after i did it, so…

[ Laughter ]

Abby: Well, I doubt that he has any complaints about you, devon.

Devon: Well…

Jack: Please tell me i misunderstood just now. It sounded like you said you’re going to fall apart just to mess with the newmans?

Billy: I wouldn’t exactly put it that way, but, yes, I will be hanging around some of my old haunts and visiting some of my old friends.

Jack: Bookies? Gamblers? Loan sharks?

Billy: If that’s how victor and adam choose to misinterpret this or misrepresent it, then… yes. Look, jack, that’s what they want to believe, okay? And I’m just gonna let them believe that. Of course I will be able to prove it opposite in court.

Jack: And how do you intend to do that?

Lily: Look, I had a lot of the same questions, but billy has actually thought this through. This will force victor and adam to admit that they tried to ruin his reputation.

Billy: You condone this? You were my last best hope, lily. I thought you of all people could talk him out of doing these dangerous things.

Billy: Jack, let me just be very clear that I did not want to tell you about this in the first place —

Jack: Why would you want to stay mired in this obsessive need to hurt victor and adam? You have other options! We would welcome you back at jabot with open arms. I’m sure lily would be thrilled to have you on board at chancellor. You could start over. This is how you vindicate yourself.

Billy: Jack, I think we both know that that is simply happy talk, okay? The reputation that victor and adam saddled me with is going to stay with me for the rest of my life — or until I can prove that they are the ones without any moral standard, that they are the ones motivated by greed and vengeance. It’s not me.

Jack: You don’t know that you can actually pull this off.

Billy: For the record, jack, I did not bring you here to get your permission or your approval. The plan is already in motion.

Jack: So, why did you bring me in on this now?

Billy: Because lily thought it would be cruel to let you hear the rumors and potentially believe them.

Jack: Well, thank you for that consideration for me. What about jill? What about johnny and katie? Did you think about them?

Lily: They’re going to boarding school after the holidays. They won’t be affected by any of this.

Jack: Wait, you are sending them away as part of this scheme?

Billy: No. That was victoria’s idea, but i believe it is the best one.

Lily: And jill is visiting the chancellor offices as part of the ceo hand-over.

Billy: I understand that ashley and traci will be in an out of town, and I don’t expect you to lie to them.

Jack: You’re damn right i won’T. I want no part of this.

Lily: Well, jack, can we at least trust you to keep quiet about all of this?

Jack: I don’t know why i would do that, lily.

Billy: Jack, let me be very clear that if you ruin my chance to make this right, I’m not gonna trust you with anything ever again. And I think you know I mean that.

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Billy: I don’t believe that this plan is as dangerous as you think it is. It will be carefully orchestrated and targeted to a very small, specific group.

Jack: You know what scares me the most about this? That certainty, that tone. It smacks of the same irrational overconfidence that has been at the root of your downfall time and again.

Billy: Well, I appreciate that, but I think this is my best chance to rebuild my damaged reputation.

Jack: I want to be wrong, billy. Boy, do I want to be wrong.

[ Door slams ]

Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

“The young and the restless”

will continue. We do it every night.

Devon: I wasn’t sure that you’d find a chef to fill lola’s shoes, but pamela’s doing a great job.

Amanda: Mmm. Yes. She’s fantastic.

Chance: Hey, we probably should get out of here soon, yeah?

Abby: Oh. Anxious to try those baby tips?

Chance: I can’t wait.

Abby: [ Laughs ]

Devon: Yeah. I’ll actually — I’ll send you the links to some of those songs that I know dominic likes.

Chance: Oh, cool. I’d appreciate that, man. Thank you. And, hey, I just want to thank you again for taking such good care of him while we were in spain.

Devon: I enjoyed every second of it.

Chance: I can see that.

Abby: Well, we should do this again.

Amanda: Yes, definitely.

Devon: Sure, yeah.

Chance: Good to see you guys.

Devon: Alright.

Abby: Have a good night.

Devon: You too.

Amanda: You too.

Devon: After all these appetizers, I’m not that hungry. Do you want to split something with me?

Amanda: Sure.

Phyllis: Um [Clears throat] So, summer wants to do a video call, all of us, and we can open our gifts together and, you know, get our reactions in real time, if you’re up for that.

Nick: Yeah. That’s a great idea. I’m not sure what I’m doing yet, but I’ll make sure to make some time for that.

Phyllis: Great. She’ll like that. Hey.

Jack: Phyllis. Nick. Good to see you both.

Nick: Hey, jack. Perfect timing. Phyllis was just telling me that summer wanted to do a video call with, like, harrison so it seems like we’re all opening presents together.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Nick: Would you be down for that?

Jack: I’d be delighted.

Nick: Good. I’m sure phyllis will schedule something. Okay, uh, good to see you both. Thanks again for my cool gift.

Jack: Well, for your sake, I’m glad things are better with you and nick.

Phyllis: Yeah. It’ll make for a more pleasurable holiday, right? So, how are you doing? Oh, no. What’s going on?

Nate: Well, look who’s here. Out on the town?

Devon: Hey, guys.

Elena: Hey.

Amanda: Well, you guys look like all smiles.

Nate: [ Chuckles ]

Elena: Yeah, I guess we have a little bit to celebrate.

Devon: Celebrate? What, did you get another promotion?

Nate: Yeah, uh, sort of. Elena and I have decided to move in together.

Devon: Oh, wow. Congratulations.

Amanda: That’s wonderful. Guys, come. Join us. Sit down. We are gonna need some champagne. Can I get a bottle of champagne?

Devon: Yeah. Man, I really couldn’t be happier for you two.

Elena: Thank you. Means a lot.

Lily: Are you regretting telling jack about the plan? I hope you’re not angry with me for suggesting it.

Billy: I’m not. The truth is, I am having second thoughts.

Lily: Really? You sounded so sure when you were defending your plan to him.

Billy: I’m not concerned about that. I still believe it’s gonna work. But I just don’t want to come across as a completely selfish jerk.

Lily: You? Never.

[ Chuckles ]

Billy: I understand this is gonna affect my family. But it’s also going to affect your family. I hope it doesn’t reach your kids, with them being out of state, but there’s nate, there’s devon, there’s your friends, your colleagues.

Lily: Yeah, I know. I know. I thought about that.

Billy: Nothing is more important to me than what we have together. Nothing is more important than you, not my reputation, not my career, none of it. If this is too much for you… you just got to say the word, and I’ll drop it. Did you know some deodorants may not last all day?

Lily: Yeah, I mean, I have to admit I don’t love the idea of causing my family and jill unnecessary pain. But I can tell them that I’m not worried about you and that i don’t believe the rumors. I mean, that wouldn’t be lying.

Billy: No. But they’re gonna say you’re in denial or you’re enabling addictive behavior.

Lily: Well, hopefully this will all resolve quickly and i can clear things up. Or I can do what you did with jack and I can choose a couple people that I trust and tell them what’s going on. Either way, I am behind you 100%.

Billy: I will justify your faith in me. I promise.

Lily: I know. And, look, don’t get me wrong. I really wish that you would drop this whole thing and come to work with me at chancellor. But I know you. And I know you’re not gonna be able to rest until you clear your name. So, when you do, I will put on a full-court press to recruit you.

Billy: And I will be ready. In fact, I’ll be looking forward to it and the full-court press. I hope you know how grateful i am for your love and your support.

Elena: Cheers!

Amanda: Cheers!

Devon: Cheers.

Amanda: Mm. You know, you guys just missed abby and chance.

Elena: Oh, that’s too bad. I would have loved to have seen baby dominic. He’s probably gotten so much bigger since thanksgiving.

Devon: Oh, yeah. He was actually back at home with the nanny, but he has gotten pretty big. He sat up on his own for the first time just the other day.

Elena: Impressive.

Devon: Yeah.

Nate: How is chance doing? This transition’s got to be a bit of a culture shock for him. You know, suddenly having to redefine himself and his career? It’s not an easy thing to do.

Devon: No, it’s not, and, you know, he’s adjusting still. But I’m sure he’ll figure it out.

Abby: I hope it was okay that I invited devon and amanda to join us at society.

Chance: Yeah. What are you talking about? I love their company.

Abby: You just — you seemed a little quiet.

Chance: Well, you know, you were all talking about dominic, and I just haven’t spent as much time with him as the rest of you.

Abby: Hey. You’re gonna make your own memories and have stories with him soon enough.

Chance: Yeah, I hope so.

Abby: [ Smooches ]

[ Doorbell rings ] Daddy!

Victor: Hi, sweetheart.

Adam: Hi.

Victor: How are you?

Abby: Uh, good.

Victor: I just came by to tell you how happy I am that they found those bastards responsible for that explosion in spain. I mean, now we can all breathe easier, right?

Abby: Yes. Oh, I’m gonna go grab that. I will be right back.

Victor: Okay, sweetheart.

Abby: Mwah!

Victor: Hey, chance.

Chance: Victor.

Victor: How are you, man?

Chance: Doing alright, doing good. Let me get you a drink. What are you having?

Victor: No, thank you. I’m on the way home. Um…no drink.

Chance: No drink.

Victor: Yeah. So, how’s it going?

Chance: Oh, I can’t complain. No complaints. Abby’s taking real good care of me.

Victor: I bet you she is. She’s very happy to have you home, you know. Hope you take all the appropriate time to recover from your ordeal.

Chance: Yes, sir, that’s the plan.

Victor: So, what are your plans now?

Jack: After talking to billy, I’m worried he’s headed down the wrong road again.

Phyllis: Oh, wow. I know what you’re talking about — drinking and gambling, right?

Jack: I’m concerned billy’s about to make the same series of mistakes.

Adam: [ Clears throat ] Sorry. I don’t, uh, mean to eavesdrop. But I hope you know it was not my intention to push billy over the edge.

Jack: I don’t know who you think you’re talking to. I’m gonna be the last person to buy your excuses. We both know what you did to billy and why. Motrin works fast to stop pain where it starts.

Amanda: You know, abby and chance must be so relieved that the targets of the investigation have been apprehended.

Devon: Yeah. I think we all are. That’s one less thing to worry about, you know.

Amanda: Yeah. And I hope it’ll ease chance’s mind knowing that all of his hard work has paid off. I think it might make him feel a little less guilty for leaving his family behind, you know?

Devon: Yeah.

Amanda: Tell me —

Devon: Hmm?

Amanda: What can I do to ease your mind, hmm?

Devon: Ease my mind?

Amanda: Yeah.

Devon: Nothing. I’m — I’m — I’m good. I got to see dominic today, so that was great.

Amanda: Yeah, but these short visits — they’re not cutting it for you, are they? Listen. You know, abby and chance — they are so grateful for everything that you’ve done for dominic. Have you ever thought about just asking them for a little one-on-one time with him?

Devon: Yeah. I have. It’s crossed my mind, but i don’t know how they would react to something like that, you know, ’cause chance is already struggling. So me pressing for more time with his kid might be the last thing he needs — to overstep into his territory, you know?

Amanda: Well, you’ll never know unless you ask.

Chance: No one’s pressuring me to come back right away.

Victor: Mm.

Chance: But my spot is waiting for me at the gcpd.

Victor: Ahh. I remember when you joined the gcpd. You did that because you wanted to be closer to home, right?

Chance: Yes, sir.

Victor: While we were here, we saw abby go through the ordeal of thinking that you had died in that explosion. I mean, it was a terrible thing to see. She was devastated.

Chance: Yeah, I’ll always regret putting her through that.

Victor: Now, I don’t need to tell you that being a cop is a dangerous business.

Chance: Well, trust me, I’ve handled much worse.

Victor: It would be unfair to her and everyone else if she had to go through something like that again, alright?

Billy: Oh, my goodness. Look at you. You look amazing.

Lily: Thank you. So, you ready for this?

Billy: Yeah, I am. Now that jack has been informed, the groundwork has been laid, it’s time to take this plan to the next step…and to the very place where everyone who knows my history is expecting me to go.

Adam: I am sure that you are only getting billy’s side of the story.

Jack: I know for a fact billy never intended to publish that piece about ashland locke, a story that very likely is true.

Adam: Mm. Well, I’m afraid you’re gonna have to take that up with ashland.

Victor: You and victor set a trap for my brother. You knew how this would turn out. Billy has children. They’re victor’s grandchildren. Did that even come up, or is that a concern to you at all?

Adam: Okay, what about locke’s child? I mean, harrison is your grandson. I don’t see you rushing out to put his interests first.

Phyllis: Well, you and victor have ashland’s best interests at heart? Really? All this loyalty — where’d that come from? Give me a break.

Adam: We did what we had to do to put the family business first.

Jack: Bull. There’s no way you will ever convince me there was a legitimate business reason for doing what you did. This was revenge, plain and simple.

Adam: For what?

Jack: Don’t play dumb with me. You and victor never forgave billy for the exposé he did on you.

Adam: Look, I don’t owe you an explanation for anything.

Phyllis: What is going on between billy and adam?

Jack: Warfare. What else? Constant, endless warfare.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

made the right choice. Okay? What else? My proposal on creating environmental offset regulations is ready whenever you have a chance. Well, actually, I’m looking forward to sitting down with you in person. After all this screen time, it’s gonna be a welcome change. Does that mean… I’m coming home. Ah. This is cute. Brook lynn: Sure. Thank you for, um, bringing this, by the way. Yeah, I figured you didn’t want it left in the steam room. Chase: I see you… brook lynn. Yeah. You do, don’t you?

[ Door opens ] Ahh. I’m sorry again for barging in.

[ Clears throat ] No, you’re not. Look, we just — we don’t have to keep talking about it, okay? Actually, I think we should, brook lynn. Why? Because I saw you naked?

[ Michael clears throat ]

[ Clears throat ] Morning, guys. How’d you sleep? You know, not — not great, actually. Yeah. I was up thinking about sasha and brando. Oh, my god, of course. I’m so sorry. Michael: Yeah. I-I-I got to get to the metro court. I’m having breakfast with my parents. Okay, tell them I say hi. Yeah, me too. I will. See you. Do you want to talk or anything? I don’t know what there is to say, really. It’s just too horrible. How does someone say goodbye to their son? How does anyone get past that? You don’t have a choice. The loss of a child… there are no words. Sorry to start your day off with bad news. I just needed somebody to talk to. Scratch that. I just wanted to talk to you. So, I’m so happy that you’re back. I’m glad I’m here, too. So you — you okay? You’re — you’re not missing nixon falls? I do miss it, but I’m starting to love port charles, too. I have some good friends here. Really? Who? …Gloria

in excelsis deo carly? May I borrow you for a minute? Sure. Uh, is there a problem? I wanted to offer my condolences. Jason morgan was a good man. Thank you. And he was. Although I do have to say, I’m a bit surprised that you went out of your way to tell me that. I didn’t agree with all of jason’s choices, but I was saddened by his death. He — he saved my life… and britta’S. Jason had a habit of doing that. Uncle victor, what are you doing here? Well, don’t people customarily eat breakfast around this time of day? Yeah, but kelly’s? It’s not exactly the kind of establishment that you’re used to. We serve pre-ground coffee here. Are you calling me a snob? No. No. I’m joking, spencer. I’m joking. But thank you for the warning. I’ll have some tea. Tea it is. I just wanted to see where my great-nephew works.

[ Sighs ] I’m eager to get to know you better, spencer. But please keep it to yourself because I’d like to try to surprise my family. Great. Okay. We’ll talk soon. Bye.

[ Sighs deeply ] I’m ready. Sister. How I have prayed this day would come. >>

Willow, I am — I’m so sorry. If anyone knows the horror of losing a child, it’S… that was very insensitive of me. I don’t expect it to be top of your mind, brook lynn. It happened years ago. But days like today… yeah, it still feels raw. This may sound trite, but, um, I really mean it. I really admire your strength. Well, at the time, I was anything but strong. That’s not true. Lucky for me, I had people to hold me up. Chase is good like that. I think I’m gonna get some air.

[ Clears throat ]

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ] You should go out there, make sure she’s okay. You look wonderful, healthy and vibrant — I’m gonna stop you. I am here for one reason, and that is to tell you that I am not going to run anymore. You’re not gonna keep me from my family for even one more minute. Have you been away? Don’t play games with me. Your plan to have me and our brother killed has failed. What — are you all right? Is martin? That’s it. That’s it, cyrus. You’re done. You’re completely done. Okay? You don’t have any influence in this place, you don’t have any more favors to call in, so the assassin that you hired was your last opportunity for revenge. Laura, you need to listen to me. I did not try to kill you. Sorry about the, uh, tea bag. Oh, I think I’ll live. Uh, can you join me? Well, it is completely dead in here, so I don’t see why not. Oh, good. We never really got a chance to talk at thanksgiving. Thanks to valentin. Sorry. Are you sure that he’s your son?

[ Chuckling ] I am. Now, come on, spencer. As you know, fathers and sons don’t always see eye to eye. No, they don’T. Yeah, I was sensing a little tension between you and nikolas that day. I’m done with my father. No more trust fund. No nothing. I refuse to live under his rules.

[ Inhales sharply ] You’re going through some legal problems at the moment, I understand. You were harassing ava in an attempt to keep her and nikolas apart. Things got a little out of hand. Maybe more than a little. So now you’re out on bail. Mm-hmm, and I’m awaiting trial. I could be looking at jail time. Then it’s a good thing your uncle victor’s here. I may be able to do something about that. Michael: Mom? Oh, oh, oh, I’m so glad you’re here. Are you okay? Oh. [ Sighs ] Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m just sad. You know, I’m sad for sasha and brando and sad for little baby liam. And then out of the clear blue, liesl obrecht came over here to offer her condolences about jason and…

[ Sighs ] I don’t know. It just got me thinking. I mean, thinking about the night you were born. What if jason didn’t show up when he did, what if he didn’t get me to the hospital? You wouldn’t be standing here right now. I mean, jason saved both of us that night. I’m sorry. I’m just all jumbled up with, um, gratitude and sadness and anger. So much anger. Anger at — at nina? Well, yeah, I’m angry with nina, but… I’m angry that jason’s gone. I’m not mad at jason. I’m mad at the universe, which sounds incredibly selfish, right? Because brando and sasha are never gonna see their little baby boy grow up. But I have you right here in front of me, and you’re healthy and you’re strong and you’re capable. And I should be grateful, right? I should be grateful for the miracle that I got, not focused on the one that didn’t happen. Mom, you know, you — you can be grateful that I’m alive and still hate that jason’s gone, you know? One doesn’t have to cancel out the other. I mean, I feel terrible for sasha and brando, but I can still thank god that I have wiley. Sit down, sit down. How is my favorite grandson? Oh, he is eagerly awaiting santa. Every single morning, he wakes up. He asks if it’s christmas. And every time we put him to bed, he asks if santa’s coming tonight.

[ Laughs ] So is he gonna get every single thing on his christmas list? Yeah, he will. But I won’T. Scott: So… I missed my schnitzel last night. Then you should have allowed me to come over. Now, now, you know I was working, and, um, your…figure is a little distracting.

[ Laughs ] How’s it coming? The preparations for nina’s hearing? Not good, to be honest with you. But I thought you said her actions didn’t constitute fraud. Well, they — they don’t, in my opinion. However, if I can’t get this thrown out in the preliminary stage, then I don’T… have much of a defense. I wish I knew something, anything, so that I could turn the D.A.’S narrative right on its head. How is this? I believe nina and sonny fell in love.

[ Spits ] We had the same idea, huh? Phyllis is a great listener. Yeah.

[ Cellphone rings ] Oh. Oh. Apparently it’s unanimous. Lenny’s sister. Oh. Excuse me. Yeah. How are you? Preoccupied. Thinking about sasha and brando. Yeah, I can think of nothing else. Well, except for peter. You know, I’m glad he’s in custody. But the idea of him being back in port charles, it’s just… not for long. Are you going to… take care of peter?

You never said. Is martin all right?

[ Chuckles ] He’s fine. Oh, thank goodness.

[ Sighs ] I — you know, I don’t see why you’re gonna bother with this innocent act. I mean, really. Really. Did you think that I was gonna buy it? I deserve your distrust and your anger. The path I was on was dark. Yeah. And because of that, I have much to atone for. What are you talking about?

[ Sighs ] I have finally heard the call, sister, my — my life is no longer my own. I’ve — I’ve — I’ve given it to a higher power.

[ Laughing ] You have got to be kidding me. Here you go. Thank you. Brook lynn won’t mind? No, she was the one who told me to come out here. Not that I wouldn’t have anyway. It’s just, I mean, uh… I know what you mean. Look, I can take a hike if you want to be alone. I don’t want to be alone. Just frozen? You know how when you get mosquito bites as a kid, you’d use your nail to make an “x” in them?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, I still do that. It takes my mind off the itching. Well, that’s what the cold is doing for me. Maybe if I get uncomfortable enough… …I can forget about everything else. Nina told you this? That she and sonny fell in love? Not exactly. Nina: Yes, there is. I met someone, and it’s really good for me. I believe it’s good for him. That’s wonderful, nina. And does this mystery man have a name? Mike. Nina hasn’t said anything directly, but trust me, a woman knows. Okay, so when sonny was in that little podunk town in pennsylvania, he was cheating on his wife? What do you want for christmas that you’re not getting?

[ Chuckles ] It’s for brad to stay in prison. Everything going on with — with sasha and brando… …it just brought back the last year and a half when I thought my — my son was dead. Mm. Because of nelle and brad’s lies. You know, nelle was just a terrible person. But brad? Brad was lucas’ husband. He was a part of our family. I mean, my god. He watched you act as wiley’s godfather. The time that brad took from you and wiley and the needless grief he caused our family — it’s not much different than what nina’s done to our family, that’s for sure. Well, at least nina’s gonna be tried for her crimes. Brad has already been released. Really? Are you sure? Yeah, I’m sure. He was here yesterday. At the metro court? With his aunt selina. Sonny: Peter’s in a coma. I’m aware. You want me to say I’m sorry? No, no, I’M… I was just thinking, you know, the mike I knew in nixon falls would never take a life, but I wasn’t sure about sonny corinthos. Death is too good for peter. It’s best to let him lie in limbo. That way, he doesn’t hurt any more people, especially maxie. Well, I got to go… yeah. …Because carly and michael… right. …Waiting for me for breakfast. Hmm. Okay. See you later. You know where to find me. Alright. Bye. Bye.

[ Sighs ] Do you want to talk about it? I’m gonna grab some coffee. You want me to help you with that? No, no, no. I got it. Here, right? Mm-hmm. You know, I am just so worried about sasha and brando. I get it. They have each other, but it’s still — it’s gonna be so, so hard for them. Yes, it is. And I’d be worried about them, too. But I was asking if you wanted to talk about sonny. What about him? I don’t know. What’s it like to be constantly bumping into the man you used to love and maybe still do?

But the loss is always with me, and it always will be. It’s hard enough to lose a child and that you don’t have that physical baby in your arms anymore, but… the hopes and dreams you had for him… die, too. It’s just…

[Sighs] So much. Nina: Well, honestly, it’s — it’s really hard to look at sonny and not see mike, but [Sighs] I’ll get past it. I have to. Mike is still a part of sonny, you know? Yeah. You know, I was just thinking about that yesterday. Even now, back in his old life, sometimes he seems like… mike in a suit.

[ Laughs ] Yeah, right? Like, where’s the flannel and cowboy hat? And the cowboy hat.

[ Both laughing ] Seeing you together just now, it’s pretty obvious that the connection is still there. No. N– no. You’re mistaken. There’s no connection. What you saw there, it was just sonny, I don’t know, being kind. You never answered my question. I did answer your question. You just asked me, “what is it like running into him all the time?” And I told you, it’s fine. Nina. What? Are you still in love with sonny?

[ Sighs ] Keep your voice down. I’m just so excited. Christmas has come early for me. Sonny stepping out on carly when he was mitch. Mike. Mike, whatever. See, that’s the reason why… michael is going after nina, because sonny doesn’t want to remind carly that he was… wait a minute, wait a minute. How is nina still intact? I would have thought that carly would have severed one of her limbs by now. It appears carly doesn’t know. How is that possible? Somebody in nixon falls must — wait a minute. What? Wait, wait, wait. What? What? The woman who owned the bar. Now she’s running charlie’S. So you think sonny gave her a little, um, hush-hush money to keep her mouth shut? Possibly. Is the affair — is it still going on? Nina’s too sad to be in love. In love. Sonny and nina. And carly none the wiser… until now. I’m now officially on break. Ah. Excellent. Um, so did you mean it before about being able to keep me out of pentonville? I can make some calls… and see what I can do. Oh, that’d be great. That would be great. Thank you. Well, after all, spencer, you are the cassadine heir, the future of this family, and I take that very seriously. Does that —

[ Sighs ] Do you want me to reconcile things with my father? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, I’m — I’m very proud of you for being your own man. I-I won’t interfere with that. Well, thank you for trusting my judgment. However, I am a little concerned about how you are going to support yourself with what you earn from this place. Well, I plan on finding something better than this. I was gonna wait until after the trial, see which way the verdict pans out. But now that you’ve given me my life back… I’ll — I’ll do my absolute best. Well, I really can’t thank you enough. I don’t even know how to repay you. Let me get this straight. Take all the time you need.

[ Chuckles ] Y-you’re saying that, uh, that you’ve been saved? Yes. Okay. And after all the people that you’ve killed, all the lives that you have destroyed, now you found god. God found me. Good lord. He is good, laura.

[ Stammers ] You don’t know this, but — but I became very ill. I had a cold that turned into pneumonia, and at first, the guards just ignored my symptoms. I wonder why. During a fever spike, I cried out for help. And guess what happened? An angel appeared, wreathed in light. That is called a hallucination. No, no, no. I-I-I felt it touch my forehead. And this tremendous sense of peace washed over me, and I slept. And when I woke, the fever was gone. Miraculous. It truly was. And that very same day I asked for a bible. I began to read and learn and… I let god into my heart. How is that possible? You don’t have a heart. You know, martin and i have been shuffled from safe house to safe house, all because of your quest for revenge. Not this time. Not ever again. “To the lord our god belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him.” Daniel 9:9. Stop it. Please stop it. I’ve heard enough. The charade is obscene. Laura! Laura! No! You’re in danger. Sonny. Ready to be knocked down a peg or two? Here I come.

Nein! Nein what? You cannot do this to nina. Carly cannot know that she and sonny were involved. Ahh! Scott! Well, hello, corinthos family. Sonny, how you doing? I was doing really good until you showed up. Look, if this is about nina’s trial, you can save your breath. Scott: Oh, it’s about nina, just not in the way you think. Come now. Let’s leave the family alone. If you’ve got something to say, just spit it out, scotty.

What’s going on…?

Something important? Yeah, very. But not as important as you. So tell me, where are you living now? With my grandmother’s husband. He took esme and me in after paying my bail. Wait, so you’re living with laura’s husband, not with laura herself? She’s out of town, has been for months. That must be a little uncomfortable, isn’t it? I mean, kevin’s not family. Not really. Well, I’d be lying if I told you that it was ideal, but we didn’t have very many options. Well, you do now. Would you allow me to put you and esme up at the metro court, just until you decide on your next steps? Looks like we’re back on familiar territory — threats and more threats. I am not the one posing the danger. And if you continue to put your focus on me, it only makes it easier for your true enemy to strike. We’re family, laura. I legitimately care about you. Okay, what about sonny? And buscema? What about them? They came here. They both came here and visited you, and you didn’t put on this little act for them. In fact, you dropped hints that you still had power in here, which you don’T. No legitimate power, it’s true. But I hear things. My change in circumstance left a vacuum on the west coast, which is now being filled by — I don’t care about this. I don’t at all. But the fact that you do, that just shows that this conversion of yours is just, it’s for show. I can’t deny I feel a pull toward my old life. What do they say? The road to redemption is long and lined with temptation.

[ Scoffs ] But I was tested, and I chose the light. Will you? Hi. I made some coffee mostly to unscramble my brain, but also to warm you guys up. It’s actually pretty good. Thanks. Is it still light, two sugars? That was really thoughtful of you. Well, they may be few and far between, but I do have my moments. Brook lynn, there’s something I need to say to you. Well, then, it’s a good thing I’m sitting down. Well, you know, sonny, you may be able to bribe a D.A., But the judge, he’s gonna see right through your trumped-up charges. Is that all? For now. Carly: What the hell was that about? Oh, the usual. No one’s more full of hot air than scott baldwin. Thank you for thinking about nina instead of giving in to your compulsion to stick you to sonny. We have to keep their secret. Sorry, no can do. So tell me about your run-in with brad. I mean, the gall of him coming here of all places. Yeah, he, uh…

[Sighs] He claimed that he’s going to stay far away from wiley, but I do not trust a word that guy says. We have another issue, sonny. Brad was here with selina wu. Yeah. I think it was a power move on her part. Let me talk to selina. I already did. I made it very clear to her I’m going to protect my family, no matter the cost.

so the light would be believing that you found god. Precisely. But I know that’s not true. How? Because that would require love and compassion, and you are not capable of those things. Come on now. Come on. Don’t look so hurt. I think it’s — it’s pretty common knowledge that you only care about yourself. How very wrong you are. I will pray for you.

[ Chuckles ] Thank you. But you must be careful… and keep your eye out for the serpent in the garden.

[ Sighs ] I don’t know what it is you think you have to gain with this latest stunt. I really don’t, but it’s not gonna work, cyrus. I’m going home. My family needs me. That is a very generous offer. Thank you. But I can’t accept. Oh? Why not? I want to prove to my father that I can make it on my own. Well, I admire your principles, but answer me this. Just out of curiosity, how exactly does living at the metro court differ from living with kevin? The metro court is a 5-star hotel. If I let you put us up there, then won’t I be a little bit of a hypocrite? I don’t see why. I mean, you want to live your own life, yes? Yes. Well, being a cassadine is part of that. You see, spencer, people always make the mistake of equating struggle with virtue. You can be honorable, spencer, without being uncomfortable. The two don’t necessarily go hand in hand. I’ll talk to esme about it. Yes, please do. Willow: Thank you. You know, I think I just heard bailey. I’m gonna go check on her. Did you hear anything? Not a peep. He just wants to give us time alone. Yeah. So what’s up? I just want to apologize… for what I said to you at rice plaza. As you pointed out, I have no right to judge. I pushed the issue. I should have never spoken to you the way I did. I guess I’m just overly sensitive to chase getting hurt after what I put him through. But that is my problem, not yours. And it’s completely unfair to punish you for my mistake. I think about it all the time. You know, what would have happened if I’d just… told chase the truth that I’d fallen in love with michael. Then maybe chase wouldn’t have fought so hard to get better. Look, that’s the thing with “what ifs.” We just, we never know. You did what you thought was best in the moment. Just like you did when you said that valentin was bailey’s father. Right. I get it. I do. A mother will do anything to keep her child safe.

[ Sighs ] What I feel or don’t feel about sonny is irrelevant. Of course it’s relevant. You can’t just ignore what’s inside of you. But what am i supposed to do? I don’t know what to do. I mean, sonny and i will never be friends, let alone anything else. I agree. Sonny loves his wife. Then what are you suggesting? Nothing. Take it… as more of a warning. Things hidden away in the dark tend to fester. And you know as well as I do that that is no good for anyone.

[ Sighs ] I don’t understand. You didn’t tell carly. Not now. Not when I can use the secret to keep nina out of prison. How? Well, you see, the whole D.A.’S case, it’s all centered around nina’s intent to harm sonny. But sonny never felt that he was being harmed. That’s why he didn’t press charges, because sonny was not the victim. I think sonny is still in love with nina. You — you see where I’m going with this? If I can convince the judge that this just reeks of prosecutorial overreach and that it’s just deemed a big waste of time, charges are dropped. That part I like. But what about nina? What about nina? She’ll still be in danger from carly’s wrath. Yes, but she will be free. We can deal with that. Prison — that’s a whole different story. See, the trouble is the preliminary hearing. I can’t call witnesses. Only the prosecution can. Because the burden of proof is on them. Yes, I can cross-examine after the D.A. Calls them. But the D.A. Will most certainly call sonny. Yes. And sonny will lie through his teeth. Nina, on the other hand… nina doesn’t want anyone to know. She’s under oath. Are you saying you’ll force my niece to testify that she and sonny fell in love?

I can’t really ask nina about her affair with sonny on the stand. I mean, she’s less likely to lie than sonny is, but, you know, then where would we be? Nina clearly wants to protect sonny and to keep their romance in nixon falls a secret. You’re her lawyer. Aren’t you supposed to be on her side? I am on her side. I’m trying to keep her out of prison. If you make a move against selina, she’ll retaliate. And then your father will be forced to answer. We’ll be looking at another mob war. You can’t just expect me to let this go. Listen to me. You’re trying to protect the family. And I, you know, I appreciate that. But let me deal with selina. Dad — no. How many times have we talked about, I don’t want you anywhere near this part of my life? It’s my responsibility. I can’t wait to see sonny’s face when this all comes out in front of god and everyone. But how to make that happen? Like you said, sonny will simply lie, and you can’t risk nina doing the same for fear of perjuring herself.

[ Sighs ] Yeah, and the bar lady. Phyllis. Yes, but I think that she’s already been bought off by sonny. So if I just can come up with somebody else that knows what happened, in nixon falls, somebody. I got to find him. Phyllis: Let me repeat. In no way, shape, or form am I telling you to take action. But you can’t get over sonny by ignoring your feelings or his. You need to come to terms with them in order to let them go. What’s the point? You really mean that? Yeah, I do. Sonny loves carly. Carly love sonny. Period. It doesn’t matter how I feel. Don’t you want to move on? No, I really like just sitting in limbo. It’s my favorite. If you try to run from what’s inside here instead of acknowledging it, you’ll never find peace. Coast clear? All clear. Willow is being gracious and understanding that sometimes my mouth gets away from me. Pretty sure anyone who’s ever met you understands that. Ha ha. Yeah. How’s bailey? She’s out like a light. Must have been babbling in her sleep. Mm-hmm. I, for one, think it’s good to speak your mind. Even if it’s something no one wants to hear? You know what they say. Honesty is the best policy. Oh, you’re such a boy scout. Yeah, but you love it. Maybe a little bit. Well, I’ve learned the hard way. Telling the truth, however painful in the moment, it’s always the right thing to do. I don’t expect you to trust me. So we’re both on the same page, I think. But I beg you to believe me when I say I did not hire anyone to kill you or martin. Please be careful. Someone out there means you harm, laura, and it isn’t me. Oh, deputy mayor ashby. I understand from your text, you have news of our mayor. Mayor collins is headed back to port charles. So it seems the failed attempt on her life has flushed her out just as I had planned. I look forward to seeing laura again. She’s always been a worthy adversary.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Chloe: Kate? It’s chloe. I need to talk to you.

Philip: Don’t answer that.

Chloe: It’s about philip.

Philip: No one can know I’m alive, especially not chloe.

Kate: Philip, people are going to find out eventually. You can’t keep hiding like this.

Philip: I’m not asking for forever, just for today. Please.

[Knocking on door]

Chloe: Kate, I know you’re in there.

Kate: Chloe, uh, I’m tired, okay, I’m just– I’m not up for visitors.

Chloe: I’m not going anywhere until you open this door.

[Suspenseful music]

Shawn: Belle, hey.

Belle: Ugh, god, am I glad to see you.

Shawn: I heard that brady was arrested for murder. I’m so sorry.

Belle: Yeah, they just took him down to his cell.^

Shawn: Well, I know trask is on a war path, but I mean, come on, murder? I mean, we don’t even know if philip is dead.

Belle: Well, his parents just signed legal papers saying that he is. Even though, as you said, there is no body.

Shawn: Well, I’m sure you’re gonna find a way to get brady cleared, okay?

Belle: I’m gonna try. Anyway, how’s ciara? Oh, wait, aren’t you supposed to be guarding her and ben right now?

Shawn: No, I had a unit take them to a safe house. I figure the best thing to do is to keep them hidden.

Belle: Right. Yeah. From my mom. Oh, my god, I just cannot even believe that this is happening. I mean, walking into the cabin like that, and–and– and just seeing her taken over by a demon and–and choking the life out of you and ben and my dad.

Shawn: Thank god you showed up when you did. ‘Cause if you hadn’t, I have no doubt that she would’ve killed us all.

[Suspenseful music]

Steve: You ready, sweetness? Kayla. Hey. Oh. Kayla? Baby.

[Monitor beeping]

Demon marlena: All right, jan. You’ve been on the sidelines long enough. I need my star player back in the game.

[Mystical dramatic music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Steve: Kayla. Baby, come on, wake up. Wake up, please. Please wake up.

Kayla: [Groans]

Steve: Oh, god. Thank god.

Kayla: Ugh–ah! Get away from me! Get away!

Steve: Baby, whoa.

Kayla: I mean it, I mean it. I said to stay away from me!

Steve: What’s wrong?

Kayla: You come closer, I swear–I swear I’ll kill you.

Steve: Okay, okay, okay.

Jan: [Coughs]

[Monitor beeping] Uh! Dr. Evans?

Marlena: Yes, dear. Just relax. Everything’s okay.

Jan: What happened to me?

Marlena: You’ve been in a coma.

Jan: Again? How long this time?

Marlena: About six months. It’s nearly christmas.

Jan: Oh, man. I missed the summer olympics?

Marlena: You did.

Jan: [Sighs] They had surfing. I really wanted to see that.

Marlena: Yeah, I’m so sorry.

Jan: It’s not your fault. The person to blame for this is philip kiriakis. I was in a airfield with him and… chloe lane, and I had a gun. He threw dirt in my eyes.

Marlena: And he banged your head into a pole.

Jan: Stupid jerk.

Marlena: I wouldn’t worry too much about him. From what I understand, he’s– he’s gotten what’s coming to him.

Tripp: Did the police find your uncle’s body?

Allie: No. Just his prosthetic leg.

Tripp: Maybe there’s a possibility he’s still alive.

Allie: Yeah, that’s what I’m praying for. But I mean, if that was true, don’t you think that he would’ve contacted someone by now?

Kate: It’s late. What do you want?

Chloe: I heard that you and victor had philip declared dead, that you signed an official document.

Kate: Yeah. I mean, does that really surprise you? Philip’s been missing for days, his prosthetic leg was found in the river. Brady was covered in his blood. Even you should be smart enough to know that brady killed philip.

Chloe: No, I don’t know that, because there’s no body.

Kate: Nope. Just a body of evidence.

Chloe: It’s all circumstantial. There’s zero proof that philip is even dead. So you need to tell that da lady that you made a mistake by signing that document.

Kate: Why would I do that?

Chloe: Because trask is using it to railroad brady. She had him arrested.

Kate: Well, why wouldn’t she? She has a knife covered in brady’s bloody fingerprints, she has the text–the vicious text that he wrote to philip. He actually wrote that if philip didn’t cut you out of his life, he would do it. And he did, chloe.

Chloe: I don’t know what happened that night, but brady is incapable of anything like that. He swears he didn’t hurt philip, and I believe him.

Kate: [Scoffs] You’re a real piece of work, you know that? Your boyfriend was killed by brady in a jealous rage, and still you stand by him. That’s despicable.

Chloe: I care deeply for your son, but this is not fair, kate.

Kate: Oh, really? Really, is that why you and brady had sex on the conference table at basic black?

Chloe: Who told you that? Lila: Before I was diagnosed, there was nothing

Belle: So I wanted to run at theory by you about my brother’s situation.

Shawn: Okay.

Belle: Okay, so you know that brady and I are trying to piece together everything that happened the night that he allegedly got black-out drunk and attacked philip, right? So I went down to the pub, and I talked to rex about seeing the security footage.

Shawn: And?

Belle: And it was gone.

Shawn: I mean, well, a lot of places, they have their system set up to where it deletes the footage after a certain period of time. I mean–

Belle: Except everything else was on the tape. The only thing missing was the few hours around when brady was there.

Shawn: Okay, so, what, you think that it’s intentional? You think that somebody actually, like, purposely erased it?

Belle: I do. I am starting to think that brady’s being framed.

Shawn: By who?

Belle: Well, I’m not sure, but I have an idea.

Chloe: Answer me, kate. Who told you that I had sex with brady?

Kate: You did, chloe.

Chloe: What?

Kate: Yeah, yeah. I had a meeting at basic black, and I happened to overhear you discussing the details of how you betrayed my son.

Chloe: I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Kate: Yeah, of course you do. Because I heard you tell brady not to tell anyone about the fact that you had sex on a conference table.

Chloe: Oh, my god, that– that wasn’t us. We were talking about someone else.

Kate: Oh, please.

Chloe: I’m serious. You misunderstood.

Kate: I didn’t misunderstand anything. And as far as I’m concerned, you and brady can burn in hell.

Chloe: It wasn’t me, kate. It was nicole.

Kate: Wh– nicole had sex with brady?

Chloe: I–I shouldn’t have said anything, but I just– I want you to know that it wasn’t me.

Kate: Wh–would you–could you just answer the question? Did nicole have sex with brady?

Chloe: [Sighs] No.

Kate: Well, with whom did she have sex then?

Chloe: With someone else. It doesn’t really matter. All that matters is that brady and I did not have sex on a conference table or anywhere else, for that matter. I never cheated on philip, I swear.

Tripp: I am not doing such a good job of cheering you up. But… maybe… this will help.

Allie: What is it?

Tripp: An early christmas present. Unless you’d rather wait.

Allie: Hell, no.

Tripp: Oh, god, you hate it. I’m–I–I’m sorry. I thought I saw you eyeing it the other day at ballistix.

Allie: I was. Merry christmas, tripp.

Tripp: You’re kidding.

Allie: Open it.

[Laughs]

Tripp: Mm.

Allie: I was eyeing it for you, dummy.

Tripp: I really am a dummy.

Allie: No. No, tripp johnson, you are just too smart for your own good.

Steve: Please. Please, put that down.

Kayla: No. No, not a chance. No, not a chance, I’m not gonna let you hurt me again, no!

Steve: Whoa, whoa. I would never hurt you. Now listen, you have a cut on your head. You just came to. You’re confused.

Kayla: No, you–you could be tricking me; you could be tricking me, pretending to be steve again.

Steve: I am steve.

Kayla: No.

Steve: [Scoffs] Who else would I be?

Kayla: The devil.

Steve: What? No. No.

Kayla: Yeah. You came in here earlier looking just like you do now, and then you turned into marlena and then–and then you knocked me out.

Steve: [Scoffs] Baby, that wasn’t me. But it is me now. I’m here now.

Kayla: How do I know you’re not tricking me? You’re lying to me.

Steve: How do you know? Look at me. You see how much I love you? Can you feel it? Even the devil can’t fake that. No. Please. I promise you, sweetness. It’s me. Just let me have this. That’s it. That’s it. Baby. Come on.

Kayla: I was so scared.

Steve: Oh, baby.

Kayla: I was so scared.

Steve: You’re safe now.

Kayla: I was so scared.

Steve: I got you.

Kayla: [Exhales deeply]

Jan: Brady killed philip?

Marlena: Well, that’s what the police believe.

Jan: Over chloe lane? The most vapid woman on the planet. That hardly seems worth a life sentence.

Marlena: Enough about ghoul girl. We should talk seriously about your future.

Jan: Don’t worry. Dr. Evans, I– I’ve learned my lesson. I’m done causing trouble for your daughter and shawn.

Marlena: Oh. That’s too bad. Nobody likes a quitter.

Jan: Wait, are– are you saying you want me to cause trouble for them?

Marlena: That’s why I brought you out of the coma.

Jan: You woke me up?

Marlena: Yeah, I think I just said that.

Jan: But why would you want me to go after belle? You’re her mother.

Demon marlena: No, I’m not.

[Eerie music]

Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

Tripp: I can return the bracelet.

Allie: No. No way. It’ll be like that episode of “friends,” we’ll be bracelet buddies.

Tripp: I don’t–I don’t know, allie, won’t people think it’s, like, a little too cute?

Allie: I don’t care. I love my gift. And, hey, you better love yours too, buddy, or else.

Tripp: I do, I do, I swear.

Allie: Okay, so put it on. Yeah.

Tripp: Wow, I feel like we should touch wrists and be like, “wonder twin powers, activate!”

Allie: Johnny and I used to actually do that all the time.

Tripp: It’s good to hear you laugh.

Allie: Turns out my boyfriend can spread the cheer.

Tripp: Well, I wish I could stay and keep making you smile, but I have to get back to rounds. What are you gonna do now?

Allie: [Sighs] Um, probably go visit my grandma kate. Especially now that I’m a mom, I can’t even imagine what she’s going through.

Kate: You have always been a cheater, so I don’t know who the hell you think you’re fooling.

Chloe: I have made mistakes in the past, I will admit that.

Kate: Oh, my god. Could you just leave?

Chloe: And I will also admit that there was a time I was torn between brady and philip, but once I chose your son, I was all in. I was completely committed to our relationship. I never strayed, not once.

Kate: Yeah, except every time philip turned around, there you were with brady.

Chloe: Nothing happened between brady and me!

Kate: I don’t believe it. But do you know what I do believe? That you’re manipulative. You’re a manipulative little flirt. And tease and a liar and a slut so–

Chloe: Yeah, okay, I know what you think of me, kate, and I don’t really care, ’cause I have zero respect for you as well. But for the record, I swear on parker’s life that I never cheated on philip. Now you’re a mom too, and you know I would never swear on my son’s life if I wasn’t telling the truth.

Kate: Okay, fine. Fine. Maybe you didn’t cheat on philip. But why did you stand by brady? He killed my son.

Chloe: I don’t believe that. Now, brady may be jealous, he may have been drunk, but he’s not a murderer. And I for one am still holding out hope that philip is out there alive. Because the thought of losing him–

Kate: Is what? Is unbearable? I know. More so for me than for you. But we may have to just accept it.

Chloe: No, what I’m gonna accept is the truth. And if you let trask convict brady of a crime he didn’t commit, then we may never find out what happened that night. So will you please just go talk to her? And I’m not asking for my sake or for brady’s, but for philip’S.

Kate: I’ll think about it.

Chloe: Thank you.

[Dramatic music]

Philip: That lying bitch.

Belle: [Clears throat]

Shawn: So who do you think framed brady?

Belle: [Sighs] Okay. I know this sounds crazy, but what if it was kristen?

Shawn: Why would she do that? She’s in love with your brother.

Belle: And when he broke things off with her, she was devastated. He completely cut her off, and she tried to kidnap their kid. That didn’t work, so maybe this is plan B.

Shawn: Okay, okay, come on. But, I mean, kill philip? Do you think that she would really go that far just to get revenge on brady?

Belle: I don’t know, maybe– maybe this is a way to hurt victor too. I mean, she still hates him after he let her think that rachel was dead for an entire year.

Shawn: She had motive, and, I mean, she–she had opportunity considering she escaped police custody before this whole thing went down.

Belle: Someone went to a lot of trouble to frame my brother. If it wasn’t kristen, who else would go to such extremes?

Kayla: Ugh.

Steve: Baby. You really should get a nurse to take a look at this–

Kayla: No. No, no, no. I want to be right here with you. Look, I am so sorry. I swear, I swear marlena looked exactly–and sounded exactly like you do right now. I–I didn’t suspect anything until you kissed me.

Steve: I kissed you?

Kayla: Yeah, and that’s when you turned into marlena. She just–she just– she just seemed to take glee out of the whole thing. And she was–she–she thought the whole thing was amusing. And I was terrified. Seeing my old friend with evil in her eyes like that and that horrible voice. I thought she was gonna kill me.

Steve: Oh, thank god you’re all right. So what did she want?

Kayla: She just went on this rant, saying that you and I had been a thorn in her side, just like shawn and belle. And that she wanted them to suffer, that I was the key to helping her do that.

Steve: I wonder what she meant by that.

[Monitor beeping]

Jan: Dr. Evans, have you taken up smoking? ‘Cause your voice suddenly has this demi moore thing going on.

Demon marlena: I’m not dr. Evans. I’ve merely taken possession of her body.

Jan: Okay. You’ve clearly been smoking, and apparently more than just cigarettes.

Demon marlena: I’m not up for your juvenile jokes. I need you to start wreaking havoc on shawn and belle. And if you don’t, I’m just gonna put you back in your coma.

Jan: I’m not entirely convinced I’m awake.

Demon marlena: Don’t be ridiculous. I’m the one who brought you out of the coma.

Jan: Maybe I’m dreaming. Maybe I’m dead. If I run into philip, I swear to god.

Demon marlena: [Gasps] Don’t use the g word.

Jan: What did you just do with your eyes? They–they just turned yellow for a moment. Hoh! Wowza. You really are satan.

Demon marlena: Thank you. Don’t be afraid.

Jan: I’m not afraid. I’m delighted. God, or rather “g,” he clearly isn’t on my side, putting me in coma after coma. So it’s nice to know that someone has my back, even if it is the prince of darkness.

Demon marlena: Wow. You do have a strange way of looking at things.

Jan: Aw, thanks.

Tripp: The hell?

[Eerie, mystical music]

Are you one of the millions of americans

Philip: Took everything in me not to barge in here and call that whore out on her lies.

Kate: [Sighs] Okay, philip. You know I’m not one to take anything that chloe says for the truth, but I– I think she’s sincere.

Philip: You can’t be serious.

Kate: Philip, she swore on her child. A mother doesn’t do that unless she’s telling the truth.

Philip: I thought you were just trying to get rid of her. I didn’t think you were actually believing that bull she was shoveling you.

Kate: Okay. Okay, just– just relax.

Philip: That woman is shameless. She’d do anything to win you over. Use her kid, blame her friend. She tried to pawn off what happened at basic black on nicole.

Kate: I think it was nicole.

Philip: What?

Kate: Look, philip, I don’t blame you for any of this, but I think it’s very clear that you misunderstood what– what brady and chloe were saying. They didn’t betray you.

Philip: No. No, I’ve seen how they are together. I know it’s true. I know it is.

Kate: Philip, maybe you want it to be true. Because otherwise everything–

[Huffs] Framing brady, pretending you’re dead–

Philip: It can’t have all been for nothing. No. No, it can’t have all been for nothing.

Steve: I don’t understand. Marlena said she needed you to make belle and shawn suffer. So why did she knock you out and leave you here?

Kayla: I don’t know. She just kept saying that I was the key. The key, the key– my key card. It’s gone. Marlena must have taken my key card.

Steve: She wanted access to the hospital. That means she must still be here.

Kayla: What the hell is she up to?

Tripp: [Scoffs] I’m, uh, sorry to interrupt, dr. Evans. This door is usually locked, so when I saw it open, I thought I should check it out.

Jan: You seem familiar.

Tripp: Yeah, you, uh, killed my brother.

Jan: Oh. Right, you came to charlie’s door that night. Almost had to kill you too. Nothing personal.

Tripp: [Huffs] Wow, uh, when did you wake up?

Jan: Um, being comatose for months kind of messes with your sense of time, but I’d say 30 minutes or so, give or take.

Tripp: Well, that’s– that’s great news. Okay, and obviously dr. Evans has everything under control, so I’ll just leave you two alone.

[Eerie music]

Demon marlena: You’re not going anywhere.

[ Echoing ]

Some of us were born for this.

Belle: So detective, what’s your take on my theory? Do you think kristen could’ve framed brady?

Shawn: Well, I mean, it’s definitely her M.O. But it’s gonna be tough to prove since nobody knows where she is.

[Knock on door]

Chloe: Hey, I’m sorry, I’m just–I’m looking for brady.

Belle: Oh, he’s in lockup for the night.

Chloe: He didn’t make bail?

Belle: Yeah, I’ll have to try again tomorrow. He said that you went to go visit my dad?

Chloe: Yeah, um, I told him that I’d talk to kate.

Belle: Oh, about what?

Chloe: Uh, trying to get her to reconsider having philip declared dead. I mean, of course she wants justice for her son. We all do, but, you know, I tried convincing her that incriminating an innocent man is not the way to do it.

Shawn: And how’d that go?

Chloe: Uh, she said that she would think about it.

Belle: Really? Wow. That’s surprising.

Chloe: Yeah, I mean, I know that kate hates my guts, but I think that maybe deep down inside, she knows that brady did not kill philip.

Philip: No, damn it, I didn’t misinterpret a damn thing! Sex on a conference room table, how do you get that wrong?

Kate: Okay, okay. Listen, just– did you actually hear brady and chloe say that they were the ones who had sex? Because they didn’T. Philip, they didn’t betray you.

Philip: Wake up, mom. Lucas saw them walk into the salem inn together, where they were having sex behind my back.

Kate: Okay, okay. You need to listen to me. You really do, okay? Because I–I know that you’re angry, and I know this is all out of control, but I am going to help you. And together, you and I are going to get us out of this, gonna get you out of this.

Philip: Wait a minute, what are you talking about? You heard chloe, brady’s been arrested. He’s gonna spend the rest of his life behind bars for killing me.

Kate: Okay, but you are alive, philip. You’re alive.

Philip: Who cares? It’s what he deserves.

Kate: Oh, my god. Really? And so what are you gonna do with your life? What are you gonna do, hide yourself away? Are you gonna pretend you’re dead for the rest of your life? Because that would be jail too.

Philip: Maybe, but, uh, you know, if it destroys any chance that chloe and brady have at happiness, it’s well worth it.

Kate: Oh, my god, philip, no. It’s not worth it. Nothing is worth that. Nothing is worth throwing your future away. This has gone too far. This has gone way too far.

Philip: You are one to talk.

Kate: You’re right. You’re right. I have gone to extremes at times, I have. And it has been pushed by the same feelings that you’re feeling right now. That rage, that humiliation, that pain–and yes. I wanted people to suffer the way I had suffered, at any cost. But it never worked. It never does. And your suffering will only get worse, philip.

Philip: It’s not possible.

Kate: I know that you think revenge is the only way, the only thing you can do, but that’s not true. Okay? It’s not true. And you have to stop now. You have to stop now before it’s too late.

Philip: And let those two make a fool of me?

Kate: Listen to me. The two of them were not together. They did not betray you. They did not have an affair.

Philip: If you say that one more time…

Kate: Philip, it’s true.

Philip: You’re brainwashed. She has brainwashed you, my own mother. Chloe lies. She lies!

Kate: Not this time. Not this time.

Philip: Enough. Don’t you see what she has done? She’s got you defending her now. Convinced it’s all some big misunderstanding, and that is a lie.

Kate: Listen to me. You just need to relax–

Philip: I’ll prove it. I will prove it. I will–I will find a way to trick chloe into confessing. I will get her to admit she’s been having an affair with brady behind my back this entire time. I will–I will get it on tape. I will hire someone to bug her room. I will get it done.

Kate: No! You have to stop. Philip, do you hear me? You have to stop. Do you hear yourself? This is crazy!

Philip: I am right about this. I know what those two are doing, and I know their plan. It’s the same as it was in high school. They ride off into the sunset, and they leave me stuck behind. The sucker, the loser. Well, not this time. This time, I win.

Kayla: Security’s gonna be on the lookout for marlena.

Steve: Hang on. Marlena works here. Doesn’t that mean she has a key card?

Kayla: No, but mine is different. Mine is more like a master key. I have access to all floors and all rooms. Marlena’s is–is limited, especially since we put in the new security protocols.

Steve: What new protocols?

Kayla: Well, just a few months ago, we really tightened things up around here. We didn’t want the rest of the staff taking cues from dr. Snyder and stealing pills or anything like that. Or any patients running off and murdering somebody, like jan spears.

Steve: That’s it. Marlena wanted your key card so she could get to jan spears.

Kayla: Jan is in a coma.

Steve: No one has made belle and shawn suffer the way that crazy woman has. She’s a part of marlena’s plan. I don’t know how, but she is. I got to find her.

Kayla: Not without me.

Steve: No, kayla, you’re not going anywhere.

Kayla: There is no way you are facing the devil without me. It’s final.

Steve: [Huffs]

[Monitor beeping]

Demon marlena: Tripp johnson. You are just too smart for your own good.

Tripp: I get that a lot.

Demon marlena: Mm. You thought you could fool me. But I realize that you know who I am.

Tripp: I didn’t believe it at first, but I’ve come around.

Demon marlena: You know, you should have realized it when I sent your brother, charlie, to visit you and allie.

Tripp: That was you?

Demon marlena: Who else can raise people from the dead, hmm?

Jan: You’re also quite skilled at bringing people out of a coma. This doctor’s got nothing on you.

Tripp: Okay, okay, dr. Evans, I need you to please hear me out. Okay, there are so many people who love you, including your granddaughter, allie. Allie, yeah. Okay, they need you to fight.

Demon marlena: Spare me the speech. Marlena is gone.

Tripp: No, I–I don’t– I don’t believe that, okay. Dr. Evans, just hang in there, okay, I’m–I’m gonna get you some help.

[Suspenseful music]

Demon marlena: Now you’re the one who needs some help. “I got you babe” by etta james lila: Before I was diagnosed, there was nothing

[Monitor beeping]

Demon marlena: Those trays are quite handy.

Jan: Couldn’t you just have flung him against the wall with your super strength?

Demon marlena: Oh. I don’t like to show off. Now come on. You’ve got to get up. We’ve got work to do.

Jan: What about smarty pants?

Demon marlena: Ah, don’t worry about tripp. I’ll put him to good use.

[Ominous music]

Steve: What the hell?

Kate: Philip. This isn’t about winning or losing.

Philip: The hell it’s not.

Kate: I can see how much you’re hurting.

Philip: You don’t understand.

Kate: Okay. Then help me understand. Talk to me.

Philip: [Exhales deeply] It’s like no matter how hard I try, no matter what I do, I lose. And I keep losing everyone and everything that matters to me most. Take belle and chloe. I loved them so much. And they both ended up choosing someone else.

Kate: Well, that was their loss.

Philip: And the children I thought were mine. I ended up losing them too. First claire, then parker. And I gave tyler away.

Kate: You signed off on the adoption rights because you weren’t ready to be a father, philip.

Philip: I’m such a hypocrite. Always complaining about how my father treats me. But I’m a stranger to my own son.

Kate: Sweetheart.

Philip: No, it’s the truth. And dad wasn’t wrong to want to disown me. I almost destroyed everything that he’s ever worked for in his entire life. But he gave me a second chance, you know, and–and did i make the most of it? Did I show him that I was, you know, ready for the responsibility and–and– and able to be trusted to– to not make any stupid mistakes ever again?

Kate: You were under attack at titan. Gabi and jake were trying to take you down.

Philip: No, I–I mean, I took myself down. I had my big, bright, beautiful future handed to me on a silver platter, and all I had to do was not screw it up. But I did screw it up. Like I always do. It’s, like, who I am. I’m some kind of screw-up.

Kate: Please don’t say that.

Philip: It’s true. And this new beginning with chloe was supposed to change all that, turn it all around.

[Sighs] I mean, if the most incredible woman on earth chose me, I’d be worthy of love, right? That would prove that, once and for all. But it didn’T. It proved the opposite. I– it’s like I’m worthless or damaged goods. I’m broken, in more ways than one.

Kate: [Sniffles] Don’t say that. You’re none of those things.

Philip: Then what is wrong with me? Why can’t I hold on to the people that I love? Belle, chloe, even dad. What does it take to get these people to love me?

Kate: [Sniffles] I can’t speak for anyone else, but I’m your mother, and I love you. I love you with all my heart.

[Crying]

[Dramatic music]

Is struggling to manage your type 2 diabetes

[Monitor beeping]

Steve: I don’t believe it. I was sure marlena would be here.

Kayla: Guess we were wrong.

Jan: I’m so glad you woke me up in time for christmas. Not because it’s his birthday. I just–I like a good sale.

Demon marlena: Oh. Okay. Well, I’m afraid we won’t have much time for shopping. Your mission is to get revenge on shawn and belle, and what better occasion than christmas eve?

Jan: Which also happens to be their wedding anniversary.

Chloe: So you think that kristen set brady up?

Belle: Well, I think she’s definitely capable of it. I mean, I don’t think she killed philip, but I could definitely see her making him disappear.

Chloe: Oof, well, that makes a lot more sense than brady murdering anyone. He would never go that far.

Shawn: Yeah, but kristen would.

Belle: Besides, if she’s not the one that’s framing brady, who is?

Philip: [Crying] You’re right, I have made a huge mess. What am I gonna do?

Kate: [Sniffles] You are going to trust your mother. Okay? I don’t want you to worry about anything. I’m gonna fix it for you. Okay?

    Matthew Morrison to Star as the Grumpy Green Curmudgeon as the Two-Hour Telecast Will Be Filmed in London
    NBC is bringing Dr. Seuss to life this holiday season with a fun-filled two-hour production of “Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch Musical!” set to air Dec. 9 at 8 p.m. ET/PT from the Troubadour Theatre in London.
    Dr. Seuss’ beloved classic children’s book “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” has become a Christmas staple for generations. This musical version, with book and lyrics by Tim Mason and music by Mel Marvin and featuring the hit songs “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch” and “Welcome Christmas” (by Albert Hague & Dr. Seuss), breathes new life into this timeless story.
    Matthew Morrison (“Glee”) will star as the curmudgeonly Grinch.
    “Dr. Seuss is an indelible part of all of our lives and we’re thrilled to bring a stage production of ‘The Grinch Musical!’ to our audience,” said Doug Vaughan, Executive Vice President, Special Programs, NBC Entertainment. “This is a perfect addition to our annual holiday program traditions and a telecast the entire family will enjoy.”
    “In what has been an extremely challenging year for us all, it is an honor to bring some holiday cheer into viewers’ homes this December,” Morrison said. “My wish is to bring some Who-ville magic to this holiday season and, while the pandemic presents some challenges in bringing a stage production to life, we are excited to present a unique version of this seasonal favorite in a new creative and imaginative way.”
    Dr. Seuss’ famous book tells the story of a reclusive Grinch who plotted from his cave atop snowy Mt. Crumpit to steal Christmas from the Whos in Who-ville. Then on Christmas Eve, disguised as Santa Claus and enlisting his loyal dog Max as a reindeer, the Grinch traveled to Who-ville to scoop up the Whos’ gifts and decorations. Much to his surprise on Christmas morning, the Whos were unfazed and celebrated the holiday with a heartwarming display of joy and love.
    Additional cast will include Denis O’Hare (“Big Little Lies”) as old Max, Booboo Stewart (“Descendants 3”) as young Max and talented, young newcomer Amelia Minto (“The Lost Girls”) as Cindy-Lou Who. Producers have also assembled an ensemble of top musical theater actors from London’s West End to complete the cast.
    The lush and whimsical staging by award-winning director Max Webster, directed for television by BAFTA winner Julia Knowles, with additional script material by BAFTA-winning writer Simon Nye and featuring sets by acclaimed designer Peter Bingemann, will set the mood for a beautiful holiday celebration.
    Emmy, Tony and two-time Golden Globe Award-nominated actor Matthew Morrison became a household name when he was cast as a series regular in the poplar musical comedy series “Glee.” After making his Broadway debut in “Footloose,” his big break came when he was cast as heartthrob Link Larkin in the hit “Hairspray.” He was later nominated for a Tony Award for his role in “The Light in the Piazza” and received a Drama Desk Nomination for Outstanding Actor in a Musical for “10 Million Miles.” More recently, Morrison starred as J.M. Barrie in the Broadway musical “Finding Neverland” and performed as a recurring guest star on “The Good Wife” and “Grey’s Anatomy.” Last year, he co-starred in “American Horror Story: 1984.”
    “Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch Musical” is presented in association with Dr. Seuss Enterprises and Running Subway, produced by Penny Lane Entertainment Television and Simon Friend Entertainment. Lee Connolly, Simon Friend, Joshua Rosenblum and James Sanna serve as executive producers. Morrison also serves as a producer on the telecast.  From 2020.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

 

Sally: So, you’re asking if i know who’s been sending you the anonymous videos starring billy abbott acting like a jerk in public?

Adam: Do you?

Sally: You know, I can’t help but feel like your question is a wee bit…pointed.

Adam: What? In what sense?

Sally: Well, do I know who’s been sending the videos, meaning am I the one doing it? That’s really what you’re asking, isn’t it?

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Lily: Hey, you.

Billy: Hey. What’s going on?

Lily: Oh, you know. Work, work, and more work. I’m memorizing the bios of everyone on the chancellor board of directors. Jill’s setting up a get-to-know-you meeting, so I’m just prepping for it.

Billy: Sounds like you could use a break, and I have just the thing.

Lily: Uh-oh. Should I be worried?

Billy: [ Laughs ] Not at all. But I think you should come home as soon as you can.

Lily: Okay. Well, my brain is a bit fried, so maybe taking a break is a good idea.

Billy: Well, what I have planned will definitely help.

Lily: Well, in that case, I’m on my way.

Billy: I’ll see you soon.

Chloe: Chelsea. Hi.

Chelsea: Where are you?

Chloe: I just finished a lunch meeting, and I’m on my way back to the office, so I hope that you’re calling to tell me that you’re ready to come on board?

Chelsea: Not exactly, but…

Chloe: So you’re persuadable?

Chelsea: Connor was invited to a christmas party, so I’ve got some free time this afternoon.

[ Breathes deeply ] I’m willing to take the next steps towards making a decision. It’s time I met sally spectra, up close and personal.

Sharon: So, the menu is getting pretty eclectic since i told each of the kids to pick their favorite dish for me to cook. Oh, and faith is requesting your famous guacamole. Are you up for it?

Rey: Eh, a little avocado with our christmas ham? Very festive.

Sharon: What? What are you smiling about?

Rey: I just love seeing you so happy.

Sharon: Oh, well, it’s the first time in years I’ve had all three of my kids with me for christmas, and it’s a rare treat.

Rey: Yeah, I’ll miss seeing everybody in miami, but I am excited about the holiday we’re planning.

Sharon: I know it can be really hard to be away from the people you love this time of year. But, hey, how would you feel about inviting nicholas and christian over for christmas dinner?

Rey: Let’s do it. I’ll add another leaf to the table.

Sharon: You are so generous.

Rey: Mnh.

Sharon: You know, that’s one of the many things I love about you.

Rey: As long as the invitation doesn’t extend to nick’s brother, hmm? There are limitations to my generosity.

Sharon: I’m sure adam has his own plans with connor.

Chelsea: Sharon? Rey. How nice to see you.

Sharon: Chelsea. Hi.

These are the faces

provided by… when asthma symptoms strike, airways narrow.

Rey: I didn’t know you were in town.

Sharon: How long have you been back?

Chelsea: I just got back today. I’ve been spending time with connor. Missing him was the worst part of being away.

Rey: How’s your mother doing these days?

Chelsea: Mom’s doing well. Yeah. She’s gotten most of her mobility back, and she still speaks very highly of you, rey.

Rey: [ Chuckles ]

Chelsea: I’m sorry if she hit on you. That’s anita.

[ Both laugh ]

Sharon: Really? You neglected to tell me that part of your security detail.

Rey: Well, what can I say? Mature chicks dig me.

Chelsea: Oh, yes. My mom was smitten, so much so, in fact, that she was a lot more pleasant when rey was around and a lot more cranky when he left.

Rey: How are you feeling?

Chelsea: I’m good. You know, it’s — it’s a bit unnerving being back in genoa city.

Sharon: Well, I’m not surprised you’d feel that way. You’ve been gone for a while, and you were in quite a bit of turmoil before you left, transitioning out of the hospital.

Chelsea: Yeah. It was easier for me to put everything behind me when I was in another state, focused on taking care of my mom. But now I’m back and I’m in a penthouse and I feel like there are just reminders everywhere i turn.

Rey: Well, that’s only natural, right?

Chelsea: Well, whether it is or isn’t, I’m not certain I’m gonna stay past the holidays. And I’m sure there are several people in this town who would be very happy if I didn’t stay in genoa city.

Sally: Why would you jump to that conclusion, that I am the one behind all this?

Adam: Hmm. I mean, call me crazy, but that seems like something you might do.

Sally: Hmm.

Adam: Following billy around, gathering intel, and then sending the proof straight to me.

Sally: That’s the old sally, you know, someone who goes to extremes, lives on the edge. But I have turned over a new leaf.

Adam: Hmm. I see.

Sally: What? You don’t believe me?

Adam: I just know since you’ve worked here, you’ve mentioned a few times that my feud with billy worries you. And I did kind of ask you to spy on him.

Sally: Yes, but then you turned right around and told me to forget that you said anything.

Adam: True. Still, there’s a part of you that likes to go rogue. I mean, you will follow through with a plan whether or not anybody else is on board.

Sally: Well, that is called independent thinking, a trait you should value, given that’s how I put newman fashion on the map.

Adam: I do value it. Very much. But not when it goes against my best interest.

Sally: So, if I were to admit that the mystery videographer were me, how would you react? Because logic dictates that an anonymous spy who’s on your side and wants you to succeed is working in your best interest.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Billy?

Billy: Hey. Welcome home. I opened up some champagne. Pour yourself a glass and relax. I’ll be right down.

Lily: Oh. Okay. So, what’s with all of this, uh, gear?

Billy: I thought we could do a little role-playing.

Lily: [ Chuckling ] Oh, boy. Okay. What’d you have in mind?

Billy: [ Chuckles ] Don’t worry. I promise you we’re gonna have fun.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Okay.

Billy: How’s the champagne?

Lily: Mm. Pretty good.

[ Camera shutter clicks ] Sweet pillows of softness!

Lily: Well, this is quite the romantic gesture.

Billy: Well, I think it is, but maybe not quite in the way that you’re thinking. But you are now the ceo of chancellor industries, okay? You are stepping into the spotlight big time, and every major publication is gonna want to do a profile on you.

Lily: I know. The pr chief mentioned it, but I’ve just been too busy to even worry about self-promotion.

Billy: Ohh, see, now, that is a mistake.

Lily: Is it?

Billy: Yes. Your image is about to be synonymous with chancellor industries, okay? You need to be prepared.

Lily: Are you worried I’m not prepared?

Billy: Um… I wouldn’t exactly go that far. I mean, you have experience being the face of a brand, like you were with brash & sassy, and of course you’ve done many interviews with your role at chanccomm, but this is a whole new league, okay? And I am going to be your personal coach.

Lily: Oh. I see.

Billy: Mm-hmm. So, a little bit of practice, maybe a new headshot, and you will be ready to go. Sound good?

Lily: Yeah. Um, this is very generous of you, but, uh, do you have the right qualifications for this?

Billy: How dare you question my qualifications? I have years of media experience and a halfway decent camera, okay? But most importantly, you, my dear, are comfortable with me. So time to let yourself shine.

Lily: Ugh. Okay. I — [ Sighs ] Do you really want to do this? I came here to relax, and, honestly, this sounds like a lot of work.

Billy: Oh, come on, now. Okay, listen to me for one second, okay? You have been amazing with me in the last little while. And I am so grateful for that. But this is about you. You’re about to embark on a major transition in your career, and I want to support you in it, okay? So it’s time to focus on you.

Adam: Well, if you were to confess to gathering intel on billy…

[ Door closes ] …I’d probably say, “thank you, but cut it out.”

Sally: Because…?

Adam: You’re putting yourself in a tricky position.

Sally: That’s my favorite kind.

Adam: You run the risk he’s gonna spot you. He’s gonna figure it out, get angry, take action against you, which, at best, will be uncomfortable and, at worst…

Sally: Well, I think if my cover were to get blown, I would be able to protect myself, provided that I actually was the spy. See, I actually know the abbotts, and when someone crosses them, they are all bark and no bite.

Adam: Ohh. Yeah, that might be true for jack and kyle, but, um, billy lacks their moral compass, especially when he’s on a downward spiral. He’s even gotten violent before.

Sally: Oh, so you’re worried that it’ll come to bodily harm? I’m flattered that you care.

Adam: Well, of course. I don’t want to see you get hurt. I care about the safety of all newman media employees.

Sally: Mm-hmm. Right. Yes. ‘Cause I’m no different than the guys that work in it.

Adam: Exactly.

Sally: So you’ve kissed them on multiple occasions, too?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Okay. Touché. Um…but I wouldn’t want them to run afoul of billy, either.

Sally: Which I may or may not be doing. But isn’t it better for you not to know the truth?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Plausible deniability.

Sally: I mean, it’s much easier for you to maintain your journalistic integrity and not reveal your sources when you’re honestly in the dark.

Adam: You do make an excellent point.

Sally: But now my only question that really matters, in my mind, is this — will the information that you’ve received help you in your battle?

Adam: I’d say it’s a good start.

Chloe: Sorry to barge in on you, but I need you to come with me now.

Sally: Is there a problem?

Chloe: Just the opposite. Chelsea is ready to talk with you, and she’s over at crimson lights. We have to head over there.

Sally: Great! Yeah. I’ve been dying to meet her. Does this mean that she’s, uh, decided to come on board after all, that she’s no longer on the fence?

Adam: Well, I hope, between the two of you, that are able to convince chelsea to take the position.

Sally: Yeah. Well, you know I’m a team player. So, if you want chelsea at newman fashion, I will do whatever it takes to win her over.

Sharon: For the record, chelsea, I bear you no ill will. I’m sorry for what happened to you after your stroke and that you were pushed psychologically to the point where you imagined that adam and I were having an affair, and that sent you over the edge.

Chelsea: I realize that doesn’t excuse my actions. I know I apologized to you both before I left for minnesota, but I want to do it again.

Sharon: I appreciate that.

Chelsea: Hell, while we’re at it, I mean, I should be grateful that you even let me into crimson lights again, after i injured you in this very establishment just a few years ago. So, I’m sorry for that, too.

Sharon: Apology accepted.

Rey: And as you know, i forgave you for what you tried to do to me last summer. Like sharon said, you were in a bad way. But I saw you trying to work through that. And you seem like you’re in a better place.

Chelsea: I really am. Absolutely. And I’ve completed my therapy, and I feel like I’ve made a full recovery.

Sharon: Well, self-assessment is a very good thing, but —

Chelsea: Oh, no, and the courts agree. And being with connor, I think, is really gonna improve my outlook.

Sharon: I’m sure connor is really happy to have his mother home.

Chelsea: I’m grateful that you’re both willing to give me another chance.

Rey: ‘Tis the season.

Chelsea: [ Chuckles ]

Sharon: So, what’s next for you?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] I don’t know. [ Chuckles ] I think that’s why I’m on the fence about whether or not to stay in genoa city. I feel like life has just gone on without me and I’m not sure where I fit in anymore.

Rey: Well, give it some time. I’m sure you’re gonna figure it out.

Chelsea: Yeah, I suppose. I mean, chloe’s giving me the hard sell to come work for her. I have to admit, I admire what she’s been able to accomplish with sally spectra.

Sharon: Are you a fan of sally’s work?

Chelsea: Mm, I’m more familiar with her reputation than her actual designs. But I have to admit, that wedding dress she designed for victoria was quite spectacular. I’m actually meeting her here in a couple minutes to see if we’re compatible.

Rey: Well, I hope that goes well.

Chelsea: I mean, you remember, sharon. You worked with chloe and me. These kind of collaborations can become quite fraught. You have to have the right chemistry. You have to spark off each other creatively.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Sharon: Yes. Well, sally tends to set off sparks wherever she goes.

Chloe: Hi. I hope we’re not interrupting.

Sharon: No, no, not at all.

Chloe: Chelsea lawson, this is sally spectra. And I hope this is the beginning of a fashion dynasty.

Sally: I am delighted to finally meet you face-to-face. Serena: It’s my 3:10

Chloe: Thank you so much.

Rey: Well, I’m glad to see chelsea’s doing well.

Sharon: Yeah. She seems grounded, optimistic.

Rey: Yeah. Not sure about her plans. Though spending time with her son could help with that.

Sharon: Well, if she wants to be a part of connor’s life, she’s going to have to stay here. Adam has full custody. And the boy’s family is here.

Rey: Yeah, I just hope being around adam doesn’t undo any progress she’s already made. I’d hate to see it all fall apart for her again.

Sharon: Well, adam and chelsea are going to have to co-parent and possibly work together, too. Depending on what she decides with her career, they’re gonna have to deal with each other on a daily basis.

Sally: When I was designing victoria’s wedding dress, i looked to your bridal work for inspiration. I know that I will learn a lot from working with you, and i think we can do great things together.

Chelsea: Thank you. I was impressed with the coup you pulled off, convincing victoria to wear your creation.

Sally: Well, it didn’t take that much convincing, if you want to know the truth.

Chelsea: I like your plans for newman fashion. Chloe tells me you plan to be the on-camera talent for the platform’s video content?

Sally: Yeah, I’m practically exploding with ideas. But I would kill for your input.

Chelsea: I’m sure the camera’s gonna love you, sally. You’ve got a real over-the-top energy.

Chloe: Having you head up the team with me would be a dream come true. I mean, the three of us, with newman media’s deep pockets and adam’s hands-off philosophy, I mean, we could really build something extraordinary.

Chelsea: Well, as I said, I’m not certain I’m coming to newman fashion. In fact, I’m not sure I’ll even be staying in genoa city.

Chloe: [ Chuckles ] Okay, um, let me remind you that this platform was built — I created it — for you. I mean, you have this incredible opportunity just waiting for you to jump right into. So let’s stop talking about leaving town and start thinking this through. Adam isn’t going to let you leave with connor. I think it’s time to admit to ourselves that you are here for the foreseeable future.

Rey: You know, the combination of chelsea working with newman media and co-parenting is gonna force her to spend a lot of time with adam. And, yes, the guy’s at his best when he’s with connor, trying to be good parents. It brings out his humanity. But ever since he went after billy again, I’ve seen the signs of the old adam. And if he and chelsea butt heads over any reason, I’m afraid it’s gonna make her have a major setback.

Sharon: Well, co-parenting without conflict isn’t easy.

Rey: Devil’s advocate? Look at you and nick. All the challenges you’ve faced with faith this year, you were able to bring her through the other side, safe and sound, and your friendship remained intact.

Sharon: And I couldn’t have done it without you. You’re my rock. You’ve been a really great husband to me and a great stepdad. How did I get so lucky?

Billy: Okay. I will be the interviewer.

Lily: Okay. I will be the victim.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] Looks like I got my work cut out for me.

Lily: Mm. I’m sorry. I know you put a lot of work into this. I’ll stop being a smartass.

Billy: Oh, no, please don’t stop now.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] I just hate this so much, but you’re right. I should be prepared.

Billy: You ready? We’ll get started?

Lily: [ Sighs ] Okay.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] Hi.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Billy: I am from

famous ceo daily, and I would like to do a profile on you.

Lily: Hello.

Billy: Hi.

Lily: What is your name?

Billy: I’m studly wonder.

Lily: Oh, boy.

[ Laughs ] Very nice to meet you, mr. Studly wonder.

Billy: You, as well, ms. Winters. Um, I got to be honest. I’m a little bit nervous. I’ve heard a lot about you. You’re clearly a bright, intelligent woman, but you’re strikingly beautiful. So, if you don’t mind, I’m just gonna start with a couple softballs to get us both warmed up.

Lily: Okay.

Billy: First of all, what did you have for breakfast this morning?

Lily: You already know what i had for breakfast this morning.

Billy: Excuse me?

Lily: Ugh. Okay. Um, I had yogurt and granola and coffee, lots of coffee.

Billy: Okay. Great. Reasonably healthy. That’s good. Um, take me through a morning. What time do you get to the office?

Lily: I usually get to my desk at around 8:00 A.M.

Billy: Hmm. Would you consider yourself a morning person?

Lily: Yes, I think, you know, raising twins has trained me for that.

Billy: Right, probably taught you how to multitask, I would guess.

Lily: Oh, yeah, ’cause when you have one crying and the other one screaming, running through the house, I think it helps prepare you for running a corporation.

Billy: I’m sorry. Are you saying that executives are like toddlers?

Lily: Actually, sometimes, yes. My co-ceo at chanccomm —

[Sighs] He was — he was a handful.

Billy: Yeah, I’ve heard about him. I’m sure you’re glad to be rid of him.

Lily: No, actually. I really miss working with him. His, um, qualities made things very interesting and exciting.

Billy: Okay. Um, let’s talk about your leadership philosophy. Do you see yourself as a disrupter or a, um, stabilizer or maybe a turnaround manager? What would you say?

Lily: I would say that, uh — all of the above. I think I’m a very flexible leader. I can kind of change to whatever the situation needs. Um, so, you know, whether it’s shaking up the status quo or, um, you know, being there for my team and showing that I’m an advocate for them.

Billy: That’s a great answer. What about your role models? Do you have any?

Lily: Yes. Um, katherine chancellor, obviously, uh, jill abbott, and my father, neil winters.

Billy: I’ve heard nothing but great things about all of them. I’m sure your father would be extremely proud of you. If you don’t mind, I’m gonna ask a little bit more of a difficult question.

Lily: Well, I’m sure your readers might wonder if I have the right qualifications for this job, to which I would say that I think one of my key strengths is managing people. You know, I think — I spend also hours of listening to thousands of chancellor employees so that I can build trust with them and reassure them that I can lead them through whatever challenge may arise.

Billy: Great job.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: Now, um, that’s not what I was actually gonna ask, of course.

Lily: Okay. Sorry. I got ahead of myself.

Billy: It’s okay. No worries.

Lily: Please, mr. Wonder, ask me the hard questions. I love them.

Billy: Okay.

[ Clears throat ] How much do you love the man you’re with?

Lily: Oh, well, actually, it’s really funny you ask me that. I just did a 360 review of his skills and qualities, and i would say that his scores are off the charts. Don’t settle for products that give you a sort-of white smile.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Sally: Well said, chloe. See how wanted you are, how valued?

Chelsea: Leave connor out of this.

Chloe: It’s impossible.

Chelsea: I told you. I haven’t made up my mind yet. I need more information before i make a decision. I can’t become a partner in your creative collaboration based on a hard sell and some well-meaning guilt trips. I need to know who I’m getting into bed with.

Chloe: Are you serious? You know me better than anyone. If you can’t trust me, who can you trust?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

Sally: You know what? Sounds like you two need to hash this out. I’m gonna give you guys some privacy.

Chelsea: No. Stay. The truth is, I trust chloe. That’s not the issue. There’s actually just one thing I need in order to decide.

Sally: What’s that?

Chelsea: Some honest answers. From you.

Rey: Looks like quite the summit meeting.

Sharon: That is a lot of fashion designers at one table.

Rey: You ever miss working in the fashion industry?

Sharon: I was never a designer, and while I am curious what chelsea’s next chapter might be… you know what? I’m happy with my life right now and I studied really hard to become a therapist and I enjoy it.

Rey: I know you do. I was just teasing.

Sharon: Besides, selling a latte to sally is about as much time as I would want to spend with her.

Rey: Yeah. She worries me, too. I mean, chelsea taking that job with sally in the mix feels like trouble. I could never see those two seeing eye to eye.

Chelsea: You can compliment and flatter with the best of them. And that may work with some people.

Sally: But not you.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] I’m sure you know all about my past, just like I know all about yours. Running away from los angeles in disgrace, all your troubles with phyllis, summer, lauren, not to mention your doomed — or should I say botched — relationship with jack.

Chloe: Aww, chelsea…

Sally: Wow! I did not realize I was such hot topic in minnesota. How exactly did you become such an expert on me?

Chelsea: I have my sources.

Sally: Yeah, you must have gone through considerable effort to get the goods on me.

Chelsea: I wanted to make sure I knew who I was potentially getting into business with.

Sally: Well, then if you’ve done your research, then you must know that I have tons of great ideas for newman fashion.

Chelsea: I am impressed with your ideas. I am. I’m just left wondering, how are you not the biggest liability for any company, especially ours?

Sally: Yeah. I mean, someone could probably say the same thing about you. I mean, I wouldn’t, but I doubt anyone but your best friend would hire you right now.

Chelsea: Are you deflecting because you’re scared to answer the question?

Sally: [ Sighs ] Have I made tons of mistakes? Yeah. Tons of them. Along with some pretty powerful enemies, mainly because I’ve spent my entire life in defense mode, fighting to protect what’s mine. Case in point. It is a constant struggle, which I’m sure you understand because, yes, you are right, I do know all about your past.

Chloe: Okay. So, maybe we should focus on the present.

Sally: Whether or not you want to admit it, chelsea, you and I are a lot alike. Everything that we have ever longed for in life always seems just out of reach. So we have learned to do whatever it takes to level the playing field. I’m not gonna apologize for that because it’s how I survive. And if you think that that makes me a liability in your eyes, then so be it. But know this — that hunger and that drive and that determination is the energy that I plan to pour into newman fashion to make it a success. I have something to prove to the rest of the world, and this is where I’m gonna do it. Any more questions?

Chelsea: Uh, no, not right now. I’m actually quite impressed.

Chloe: Okay. So, chelsea, what’s it gonna be? Are you in, or are you out?

Billy: Well, that was great. I think we’re good. I think we have enough for our profile on the new ceo of chancellor industries.

Lily: Great. Okay. Well, it was a pleasure speaking with you.

Billy: I’m sorry. We’re not done yet. You can’t have a profile without a killer photo to go along with it.

Lily: Oh. Okay. Photo?

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Lily: [ Sighs ]

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

Billy: Oh, that’s amazing. Yes.

[ Camera shutter clicking ] Beautiful! And that is a wrap! My goodness.

Lily: Oh, gosh. Okay. How’d I do?

Billy: You did fantastic. I mean, you’re a natural. Have you ever thought about modeling?

Lily: Oh, ha-ha.

[ Laughs ] No. That was fun. It was a good distraction. Thank you.

Billy: You’re welcome, and I’m glad you had a little bit of fun at least.

Lily: Yeah, it was, but also productive. I know people are gonna wonder how I went from being in prison to running a corporation, so I’m glad you made me practice. I need a good answer.

Billy: A dazzling answer. Good is for amateurs.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, I know people are gonna wonder if I’m up to the task, and my goal is to change their mind. And I think I can.

Billy: Well, you just proved to me that you can handle any question anyone throws at you.

Lily: I know that I can excel at this job.

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Lily: I wouldn’t have taken it otherwise. But knowing that you’re behind me makes all the difference.

When you have nausea,

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Adam: Well, I hope you’ve come in peace.

Chloe: Good news. Chelsea’s joining the team.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] That… that is fantastic.

Chelsea: Sally and chloe convinced me it’s too good an opportunity to pass up.

Adam: [ Inhales sharply ] Well, they are right. You’ll be a valuable asset. You’re far and away the best designer I’ve ever known. Welcome aboard.

Chelsea: Thank you.

Adam: I’ll, um — I’ll have business affairs draft up a contract as soon as you and chloe work out the details.

Chelsea: Perfect. Well, I should get going. I have to pick up connor from that party. Uh, you know, I would love to find a time to have that conversation we discussed.

Adam: Um…sure.

Chelsea: Great. And in the meantime, um, your son and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Adam: Well, give connor my love.

Chelsea: I will.

Sally: Can I talk to you about something?

Adam: Um…sure.

Chloe: You know what? I’m gonna walk you out. I’ll help you go over the deal.

Chelsea: Sure. Sounds great.

Adam: What do you think you’re doing?

Billy: Excuse me. Are you laughing at my art?

Lily: Well, I mean, they’re so bad.

Billy: I never claimed to be a real photographer.

Lily: I mean, look at this. I’m barely in the frame, your finger is in the photo, and they’re blurry. They’re terrible.

Billy: Okay. Alright. At least now I know what I’m gonna get you for your next gift — a real photo shoot with a professional photographer.

Lily: Oh, that’s a wonderful idea, studly. Can I call you studly?

Billy: I’d be offended if you didn’T.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Well, cheers.

Billy: Thank you. Cheers. Mm.

Lily: So, I actually have a serious question for you now.

Billy: Okay. It’s only fair that we switch roles. Lay it on me.

Lily: Are you gonna tell jack about your plan to trick adam into thinking that you’re drinking and gambling again?

[ Door closes ]

Chelsea: Can I get you anything? Snack? A drink?

Chloe: Maybe later. You said yes! I mean, there is so much work to do, and I’m just so relieved that you’re willing to work with sally. I’m proud of myself for hiring her and giving her a second chance, and I saw that resonated with you. But right now my main focus is getting your input on what you think about the fashion platform, what are your ideas. So, how soon do you think you can start?

Chelsea: Sally created the first big buzz for newman fashion. Is that gonna get to her head? Is she gonna be willing to take orders from me?

Chloe: I mean, well, we haven’t discussed it yet —

Chelsea: Chloe, you sold me on a leadership team consisting of two people — you and me. Is this gonna turn into a triad?

Chloe: No. No, of course not.

Chelsea: Well, does sally know that? Because she’s ambitious. She’s run her down design house. Are we gonna have to be looking over our shoulder to make sure she’s not trying to muscle in past us? I want to know. How exactly do you plan to keep this woman in check?

Chloe: When sally burned her last bridge with lauren, i offered a helping hand. And since that day, she has been working her tail off. And what’s more, she’s grateful. I really don’t think that she’s planning any coups. I was also very clear that the plan was always to bring you on board as a partner. Yes, she created a cool wedding dress, but she works for me, which means that she will work for us.

Chelsea: And I think that would change in a heartbeat if sally has her way.

Chloe: [ Sighs ] You just met her. I think you’re making a lot of assumptions.

Chelsea: I know the type. Of course sally needs a second chance. It’s probably because she’s made enemies everywhere she’s gone. She’s out for number one. She’s not gonna stop until she gets to the top, and my theory is she already has a plan. And it mostly likely involves adam. What sort of dynamic have you noticed between the two of them?

Chloe: There is no dynamic. Adam is her boss. She gets it. She’s not about to overstep.

Chelsea: Good. ‘Cause that’s a boundary i wouldn’t want to see breached.

Sally: I assumed that you’d want me to debrief you on our meeting with chelsea. I have to admit, I’m pretty proud of myself for winning her over.

Adam: Was she that hard to convince?

Sally: Chelsea is — how shall I put this? — Quite strong-willed.

Adam: [ Laughs ] Uh…indeed.

Sally: She has some obvious concerns about working with me. I get it. But I think that we’re a lot alike, and I predict that we are going to get along well.

Adam: Is that really all you wanted to say? ‘Cause I hope you didn’t stay behind to make some to chelsea or mark some imaginary territory.

Sally: Ouch.

Adam: Look, I don’t want any trouble, okay? Chelsea’s been through enough. She’s connor’s mother. So any kind of drama at newman fashions, I want it in the work and not around the office.

Sally: And as for that matter that we discussed earlier, i hope you continue to get useful and pertinent information from your secret investigator.

Adam: I do, too.

Billy: I took what you said before to heart, and I think you’re right. As irritated as jack’s gonna be, I think I need to tell him the truth — that his screw-up brother is not actually screwing up this time. I’ve heard jack far too many times, and I don’t need to unnecessarily make him suffer again just for my plan to get back at adam.

Lily: I am really, really happy to hear you say that.

Billy: I’m actually grateful that you brought it up. Thank you.

Lily: And, look, I still worry about your plan ’cause a lot can go wrong, but you’ve shown me over and over how much you believe in me. And once I start this job, I’m gonna need you by my side more than ever.

Billy: No place I’d rather be.

Lily: And as much as you believe in me, I believe in you.

Billy: It’s gonna be a wild ride.

Lily: It certainly is.

[ Laughs ]

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Tessa: Is your heart set on having a biological baby, or would you ever consider adopting?

Billy: I’m gonna make you pay. Do you hear me?

Adam: You do that.

Lily: Oh, my god! Billy!

Victor: As a matter of fact, I can use you. You will be my right-hand man.

Traci: [ Laughs ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

hey. Hey. Whatcha doing? Oh, uh… I know it, uh, doesn’t really compare to the big one in the foyer, but I just haven’t had a tree or lights or anything christmas for a couple years, so… I think it’s perfect. Yeah? Yeah. I brought someone along who I think might agree.

[ Chuckles softly ] Take a deep breath, curtis. I’m breathing. Not deep enough.

[ Exhales sharply ] Better? You tell me. I just can’t believe how willing my family is to accept this guy into their life. Tj is already calling him grandpa. And I thought after the initial shock, that aunt stella might invite him over for sunday dinner. Would that really be so terrible? Um, yeah. The man deserted his family and let us think he was dead for decades. And then when he shows up, he shows up without even a shred of an explanation. Can I ask you a question without you getting angry?

[ Sighs ] Okay, okay. Angrier. Is trust really the issue here? Or are you just afraid of getting hurt? Cards on the table, huh? Since when did a nice churchgoing lady like yourself take up poker? The stakes are much higher than a card game. Well, uh, your secret is safe with me. You just don’t get it, do you? Tell me what I’m missing. You’re making this about me when it’s about you and your choices to walk away from your family, have my sister raising those boys without you. And then you asked her to lie and tell her children you’re dead. And she did and kept her word until her dying day. And what about you, stella? How is it possible that an innocent baby has to die while peter gets to live on? For now. Hopefully not for long. Still, I will never understand. Sometimes it’s a blessing. Sometimes it’s a curse. But it’s not our job to pick or choose. In this case… I wish it was. No, no.

[ Clears throat ] No more wallowing or feeling sorry for myself. I need to be at my best today… for liam. Our son needs us. Yeah. And — and we will — we will be there for him. Okay? Mm-hmm. Mm, what if I’m not strong enough? What if I don’t have the courage to do the right thing? That — that’s why we’re doing this together, okay?

[ Shakily ] Okay. Thank you for setting me straight about this neurology appointment. I didn’t set you straight, I just gave you a pep talk. Pep talk, whatever you want to call it. I just — I just want to be solid, because if leo sees that I’m nervous, then he’s gonna be nervous and it’s — you’re gonna be great. And I’m gonna pull myself together, and I’m gonna be there for sasha and brando. Let’s go. When we came back home to port charles, you said the man you were in nixon falls wasn’t real. But he was. He is. They’re one and the same. And both mike and sonny are men that your father would be very, very proud of. Remember what you said about pulling your punches.

Hey, scout. I, uh… I know it probably feels a little bit strange, us getting to know each other again. But I’m just hoping it comes back to us, you know, kind of like riding a bike. I don’t know how to ride a bike. You don’t? Well, I’m gonna have to teach you.

[ Gasps ] Cookies! Hi, leo. -Hey. -Hey, ned. Uh, just one. Uh, do you mind? Leo’s going to the doctor. Ah, oh, and you’re bribing him with cookies? Uh, guilty as charged. Listen, do not apologize. I was just telling scott I needed a little help, uh, eating those, so thank you very much, leo. You’re helping them out. Anytime.

[ Chuckles ] You ready to go? Okay, let’s go. Ned: Jacket on. All right, thanks. Good luck at the doctor, buddy. Marshall doesn’t have the power to hurt me anymore. The damage was done when he took off and let us believe that he was dead. Some wounds — they never heal. Sure, you can stitch them up, put on a bandage. Sometimes there’s a scar, but deep down — that wound never would have reopened if he hadn’t decided to return. Okay, okay, but he has. So now what? Now he’s — he’s worming his way into tj’s life, and he’s cozying up to my aunt stella. And you don’t like that? That’s an understatement. But what happens now in regards to you? I don’t know. Do you think that eventually you could maybe find a place in your life for your father? You know, I just — I-I can’t see him as that until I know where he’s been, what he’s been doing, and why he’s here. You’re making it sound like marshall is dangerous. We don’t know that he isn’T. Joey novak swears that — that he didn’t see who jumped him outside of my club. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You think that that was your father? Stella: Yeah, you’re right. When my sister turned for me to help, I went along with the lie. And heaven help me, it has haunted me ever since. I hope you know I never meant for you to be part of this. Oh, please. You knew how close irene and I were. You really think she would keep something that big bottled up? One night when it — it just became too much, she told me you were alive but had your reasons for leaving and not wanting the boys to know why. I did it for curtis, I did it for thomas… and I did it for you and irene, believe it or not.

[ Scoffs ] Doesn’t matter what I believe. You and my sister had an agreement. She hated it, but she went along with it. And so did I. But only because you said you would never come back. I kept my end of the bargain pretty well. Wouldn’t you say? I didn’t even come back when irene passed. Well, why now? Why are you here now, marshall? I got this. I got this. Nina. Hey, didn’t you get my messages? I’ve been trying to reach you. No, I-I’ve been busy, so I haven’t even checked. Uh, you know what? This will only take a second. We don’t need to do anything until you’re ready, okay? Ah, ready. Mm. Yeah, I-I — is that even a thing? I-I mean, dr. Fleming said that we could take as much time as you need. Time won’t change anything. Sonny helped me see that. He did? What did he say? Um, he, um… he mostly talked about mike, about how, um, difficult it was to make the decision to let him go, how, um, he didn’t want to, but in the end, he realized that — that that was about him. Sonny. How, um… that would make him feel better, when — when in reality, he — he needed to focus on what was best for his father. Yeah, I mean, that’s all true, but, I mean, mike had a long and fulfilling life. Liam — liam’s never gonna have that, you know? Yeah, sonny — sonny said that, too, that — that there is no comparison.

[ Breathes shakily ] But, you know, loss is loss, right? And there will never be enough time. No. We named our son after mike. So let’s be as brave for him as sonny was for his father. Can we do that? I can if you can. Okay. Whoa, whoa, whoa, you can stand down, olivia. I’m not gonna cause any problems for carly and sonny. And yet you’re here, where they are and they have no desire for you to be. I’m here because I’m supporting sasha and brando. Not that I owe you an explanation, because it’s none of your business. I disagree about that. Carly is my friend, and she’s my business partner, and what affects her — affects the metro court. Don’t even pretend that this is about business. Listen, I’m doing you a favor right now, okay? Do you have any idea how close you just came to getting wiped off the map? Maybe you haven’t been in town long enough to know, but I know from personal experience. Carly corinthos takes no prisoners. Is that a threat? That’s a fact. The only reason that you are still breathing air right now is because she loves having her husband back and alive more than she wants you dead. We were just talking, I don’t want to talk about nina. All right. Sasha, brando, and liam are all that matter.

So, scout, what do you think of this guy right here? It’s pretty. Right? I think it’d be prettier with some ornaments, but the problem is I just can’t find any. They’re probably all up on the big tree.

[ Chuckles ] She’s right. And I doubt monica would mind if you borrowed some. No, I’m sure she wouldn’t, but actually, I’m looking for one in particular. It was my favorite, and, I don’t know. It’s not on the big tree in the foyer, so… what is it? It’s — is it the…star? The — the star, yeah. Yeah. You remember. Of course. Yeah, it’s not, like, very shiny. I don’t know what it is about it. I just kind of love it. Well, I’m sure we need to check all the ornament boxes. No. Wonder where it went. I don’t know. Maybe just got lost or broken or something, or maybe annabelle the second ate it. What? Dogs do not eat ornaments, do they? Have you met annabelle the second? She eats just about everything. Hey, I got an idea. Why don’t we go online and — and you can help me shop for some new decorations? What do you say? I’m gonna go find grandma. I’m doing this all wrong, aren’t I? A man can change his mind, can’t he? Like a musician can improvise in the middle of a tune. A good musician, anyway. This is not a gig, marshall. It’s real life. You don’t have to tell me. Tommy’s gone, and curtis — curtis is a grown man, and I have a grandson who’s a doctor.

[ Chuckles ] He has this big, beautiful life ahead of him. Can you blame me for wanting to be a part of it? No, but I can blame you for walking away in the first place. Oh, you know why.

[ Sighs ] Yes, I do. Stella, I’m not trying to change the past or even — even be forgiven. I’m just — just hoping to — to be understood moving forward. You really think there’s a way forward? I think this homecoming was meant to be.

[ Chuckles ] Careful now. You talk like you know what the good lord has planned. Well [Chuckles] I’m gonna leave the good lord to you, but think about it. Curtis owns a nightclub now. So? Come on. As much as music was a huge part of my life, that can’t be a coincidence. Sasha: This isn’t how it was supposed to be. We were supposed to raise him, to love him, and watch him grow into a man.

[ Chuckles softly ] Liam would have had an incredible life. Yes. Yes, he would have. And he would have been so lucky to have a dad like you to show him the way.

[ Chuckles softly ] What do you think, uh… family-owned body shop?

[ Laughs ] Maybe. I’m not talking about teaching him about cars. Talking about teaching him how to be a — a good, decent, caring person, the kind who comes into a new town and takes a bullet for a total stranger.

[ Laughs ] Yeah. You’re right. Liam — he would have been lucky.

[ Chuckles softly ] But not because of me. Because he had you — to dazzle him with your beauty, of course, but mostly… to teach him what real love is — real, unfiltered, true love, so he would never settle for less. Ugh! [ Sniffles ] How is this happening? I don’t know. I don’t know. He just got here! And now — now it’s over? It’s not over yet. I’m not ready. And I can’t even begin to explain how much I don’t want this. But we can still show liam what real love is. And when we do, we will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they never settled for less. Message delivered. Thank you. For your sake, I hope it was received. You know, if carly even knew what I was trying to do for her… what the hell is that supposed to mean? Nothing, nothing, nothing, olivia. But let me tell you this — next time you have an impulse to weigh in on your friend’s marriage, from what I hear, you might be better served to worry about your own. Merry christmas. You don’t have to stick around ’cause, uh, you know, I’ll stay here as long as brando and sasha need me. I’m not going anywhere… oh. …Unless you’re trying to get rid of me.

[ Chuckles ] Never. Okay.

Nice accommodations, right? I don’t know how you did it, drew… being in there for so long, staring at nothing, all alone. Yeah, it was tough. It was — it was really, really tough, but the thing that kept me going, the thing that, um, gave me the strength to believe that I was gonna get out of there someday, was scout. I saw that you scratched her name in the wall. She’s all I thought about, sam. It was as if the most important part of me was missing. Good, ’cause now you have her back. Mm. Yeah, I do. Not quite the perfect fit. Yet. But it will be. It will be. First, joey novak shows up causing trouble at the savoy, the kind of trouble that gives a nightclub a bad name. Fast forward to him being beaten and jumped between the pier and the savoy. Yeah, but that doesn’t prove that that was your father that — right. The nightclub’s reputation takes a hit. The musical act that was booked suddenly cancels. And then the new one magically appears. I know marshall had a hand in joey’s beating. You don’t know that. I don’t know for sure, but we do know he’s a proven liar, portia. Well, that doesn’t make him a criminal. Maybe it does. Maybe it doesn’T. But I am damn well going to find out. Curtis may have inherited some positive traits from you, like your love of music. You still play? Sure do. Don’t tell me you still have that old clarinet. I like to think of henrietta as vintage. But no, no. I lost her, too. I lost her a long time ago. Henrietta. Almost forgot your first love. You know, you never forget your first.

[ Laughs ] But in any case, I learned my lesson. This baby never gets left in a car. I’m sure they’ve made some improvements over the years. Yeah, yeah, the newer models are nice. They just don’t feel the same. I don’t know. I don’t know, stella. Maybe it’s me. My — my — my fingers, they don’t — they don’t fly like they used to. But I gotta believe that if the mood was right and — and I was holding henrietta, I could still make her sing.

True hey. Hey. There’s my guys. How you doing? Good. Good. Just doing what everyone does at a doctor’s office — wait. Hey, leo. Do you know why we’re here, honey? Cookie. Ah. It’s a family tradition — pay to play. Oh, really? If, uh — I guess if he’s gonna take the quartermaine name, I’m gonna have to accept the family traditions, huh? I’m going to take a wild guess here and assume you’re leo. That’s the guy. I’m dr. Newman. This is nurse myers. How you doing today, leo? -How are you doing? -I’m good. Would you like to play some games and talk for a bit? I love games. I think that’s a yes. Great. Come with me. Oh, should I — no, no, you can wait out here. We won’t be long. Okay. Have fun, leo. Honey, if you — if you need anything, I’m gonna be right out here. It’s no big deal. It’s just an evaluation.

[ Chuckles nervously ] Come here. Come here. Hmm. Hey. You okay? Yeah, I’m just, um — I’m just worried about sasha and brando, you know, how they’re doing. Yeah. This must be difficult for you. Me? Yeah. A reminder of nelle being taken away from you. Not getting to know her until it was too late. I mean, I know it’s not the exact same, but it’s still losing a child. And all the mistakes I made because of that. Oh, my god. If I’m this tied up in knots, I can’t imagine how sasha and brando feel. Well, you know, I understand now why you stood up for sasha. Behind that face, she’s got a lot of grit. Yeah. She’s gonna need it. And I understand why you feel so close to brando. I mean, I know he’s family, but he was practically raised by your father. There they are. Follow me.

You and scout — you’re gonna find your way back to each other. It’s just gonna take some time. Gotta get through the holidays. Then in a couple months, it’s her birthday. So I’m buying my way back into her life.

[ Laughing ] No, that’s not — that is not what I’m saying. I’m just kidding. I’m just kidding. There are gonna be so many moments, drew, little ones, big ones, and all the ones in between. I like the sound of that. You’ve gotten wiser in the last couple of years. Hmm. And younger, huh?

[ Cellphone rings ] Yeah, that was the next thing out of my mouth, too. It was! You’re such a liar. You actually have. Stop. Curtis. Hey, what’s up? Hey, drew, uh, remember when you said you would help me look into my father’s reappearance? Yeah. Does that offer still stand? I’m determined to put down roots and get back with the family I left behind. You can be as determined as you want. Doesn’t mean that curtis will let you in. Okay. Curtis may — may say no, but I’m sensing a definite maybe from tj. And I’d like to build on that, have a relationship with my grandson. But I could use some help… …if you’re willing to give it. For a minute there, I was wondering if you had balked and canceled the appointment. It crossed my mind.

[ Sighs ] I’m proud of you, olivia. I really am. Yeah, well, you might not be when we get our diagnosis.

[ Chuckles ] If we get a diagnosis. We’re getting a diagnosis. Most likely. And that’s okay, because our son is alive, and he’s strong and he’s thriving. And that’s more than a lot of people get. And…if leo is unique, that just makes him more special. Absolutely. I want you to know that I’m all in on this. You know? Whatever they tell us today, I am here to give leo all the help that he needs. I know you will. Can you forgive me? For what? For making you the bad guy because I was too afraid to look at the facts. You know, I was afraid, too. Yeah. The unknown is scary. And that’s why we’re here… right. …To figure out what’s going on, come up with a game plan. If we have that

[Chuckles] And each other… we have everything. Yes, we do. So you, um, hungry or thirsty or anything? No, just — just maybe some water. Be right back. All right. Ah, man. Hail mary, full of grace, the lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, jesus. Once we disconnect the respirator, we’ll give liam an injection of morphine. So he won’t be in any pain? No. That’s why we’re doing this, so there’s no pain, no suffering, so he can be with his namesake. Mike will look after him. With everything he’s got.

[ Sighs ] Can I hold him? Once he’s off those machines, can he be in my arms until he… I don’t want him to be alone. Of course. He was with me when he came into this world. I want him to be with me when he leaves it. Nurse baldwin. Yes.

[ Monitor beeping, pump hissing ]

That sounds good, man. We’ll talk soon. Okay, bye. I would ask what that was about, but I’m assuming it’s confidential. It’s just a background check. Seems pretty cut and dry, actually. How many times have I said that, and it’s been anything but? Don’t worry. Oh, it’s too late. Look, I did not go through all of that hell just to show up and put a bunch of trouble on your doorstep, okay, or mine. No more risks. No more risks… within reason. I’ve got too much to lose. There she is. Mm. Hi. I was just about to fire up the laptop and start shopping for some new ornaments for the tree. You want to help me? Mommy, can we go home? Well, if there’s any dirt on marshall, I trust drew to dig it up. And, uh, what if he comes up empty? He won’T. Now, I may not be a P.I. Anymore, but those instincts — they don’t just evaporate. Marshall is hiding something. What? No, no, no, no. Nothing. It’s not nothing. This is definitely something, so say it. I know you’re prepared to hear the worst about marshall, but what if the big discovery is that he just wants to be your father? Are you prepared for that? Leo! Hey! Hi! -Come here. -That was fun. Yeah? Did you have a good time with dr. Newman? We had a really great talk. Oh, and? We’ll schedule a follow-up to discuss everything. Just call my office. Okay, we will. Thank you, dr. Newman. Goodbye, leo. It was very nice to meet you. I hope to see you soon. -[ Chuckles ] -Bye. Thank you.

[ Sighs ] Do you know how much I love you? Hmm? Do you? I know.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, well, don’t you ever forget it, okay?

[ Chuckles ] There you go.

[ Sighs ] So did anything happen while I was gone? Oh, gosh. Come on. Hey. Is it over? Liam mike corbin. You were here for such a short time, but you made quite the impact.

[ Sniffles ] And you were so, so loved. I have to believe that you have felt that. And I hope with everything in me that you still do. I love you forever, sweetheart.

[ Sobs ] Our firstborn. Our son.

[ Sniffles ] Look after him, okay, mike? Like you said…

[ Twinkling ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Plays slow tune ]

[ Sobbing ] I can’t reach. Nice job.

[ Sobbing ]

[ Wailing ]

[ Twinkling ] Are you ready to go, liam? Me, too.

[ Twinkling ]

Xander: I’m impressed with us. How we quickly packed.

Gwen: Yeah. And whatever we forgot, we can always get at marks and sparks. They’ve got great bargains, right?

Rex: Whoa.

Xander: Rex brady.

Rex: Xander, hi. Who’s your friend?

Xander: None of your damn business. Where’s sarah?

Kayla: Sarah horton hasn’t worked at university hospital for several months. I’m happy to give you a referral to another doctor if you’d like. Okay, well, if I can help out in any way, let me know. Okay, bye. So any news about marlena’s whereabouts?

Steve: Yeah, I talked to shawn, he and john, ben, and ciara had a pretty dramatic run-in with her.

Kayla: What happened?

Steve: You’re not gonna believe it.

Kayla: Try me.

Steve: From what I understand, marlena told ben and ciara that john was physically abusing her.

Belle: Here. How are you feeling?

John: Okay, considering.

Belle: I think you should have let me take you to the hospital.

John: Izzy, I don’t need a doctor I just need to find your mother.

Belle: Yeah, I still can’t believe what I walked in on. I-I mean, I know it’s not mom, but just seeing her choking the life out of you and ben.

John: Yeah, sweetheart. I’m just glad you showed up when you did. You probably not only saved my life, but you saved ben and your husband’s too.

Belle: Dad, we have to get mom the help she needs before we lose her forever.

John: Yeah, we will, sweetheart, I guarantee it. So has there been any news on philip? Have they found a body yet?

Belle: What? No, not yet. I’m just praying that they don’T.

Kate: [Gasping]

[Dramatic music]

Philip: Hey, mom.

Kate: Oh, my. Thank god, you’re alive. You’re alive. Oh, my god.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Kate: Oh, my god. I can’t believe this. I can’t– we thought that you were murdered. Your father and i had you declared dead.

Philip: Something I’m sure dad’s been waiting to do since the day I was born.

Kate: Oh, don’t say that. Don’t say that. He was worried sick. We both were.

Philip: I find that hard to believe.

Kate: Well, I find all of this hard to believe, but you’re here. Oh, my god, you’re really here. Are you okay?

Philip: Don’t I look okay?

Kate: Yeah, you do. You look–you look perfect. How did you survive brady’s attack, philip?

Philip: Brady didn’t attack me. I went after him.

John: Okay, so it’s possible that philip’s still alive. That’s a very good thing.

Belle: Here. You need to support your head a little bit–

John: Sweetheart, my head is supported just fine by my neck. Will you just stop fussing about me, isabella? I’m gonna be a-okay as soon as we find your mother and bring her home safely.

Belle: Okay. Well, until mom is home and back to being herself, you’re just gonna have to accept a little extra tlc from your favorite daughter.

John: Yes–

[Light music]

Okay, whatever you say, sweetie.

[Phone ringing]

Belle: Hello? What? Okay, I’m on my way. I’ll meet you at the station.

John: What’s going on? Is that about your mother?

Belle: No, that was chloe. Brady’s been arrested.

John: [Sighs]

Kayla: I can understand ben believing the worst about john. Marlena saved his life. He is going to trust anything she says. But ciara, she has grown up with john and marlena.

Steve: Well, she was skeptical at first, but apparently, the devil made marlena morph to john, and then he threatened marlena right in front of them.

Kayla: Could this get any more horrifying?

Steve: Oh, it gets worse.

Kayla: I can’t imagine

Steve: The devil almost strangled ben and john to death without even touching them.

Kayla: Right, it is worse.

Rex: I hope he isn’t always this rude around you.

Xander: Answer my question, rex, where’s sarah?

Gwen: Xander.

Xander: You remember sarah, right? My fiancée? The one I found you in bed with on my wedding day. Just tell me where she is.

Rex: How the hell should I know where sarah is? I thought I was managing my moderate

Xander: What kinda game are you playing? You think this is funny?

Rex: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Xander: Everyone knows sarah left town with you, rex.

Gwen: Xander, we really need to get to the airport now.

Xander: Just answer my question, what are you hiding?

Rex: Sorry, pal, I haven’t seen sarah in months. Not since right after your wedding, or non-wedding.

Xander: Wait, are you saying that you and sarah weren’t in doctors without borders as a team? That you aren’t still together?

Rex: I’m saying we never were.

John: I need to go down to the cop shop with you.

Belle: No, dad. Don’t–

John: I can’t just sit here and wait, sweetheart.

Belle: Okay. You just went ten rounds with the prince of darkness. It’s okay to rest. Mom’s gonna need you to be strong. I can take care of brady.

John: I know you can. All right, please just call me as soon as you know anything, okay?

Belle: Of course, I will. I will. Love you.

John: Oh, love you, sweetheart.

[Light tense music]

Chloe: Hey.

Brady: Hi.

Chloe: Are you okay?

Brady: Well, I’ve been booked for murder, so I think I’ve had better days.

Chloe: I’m so sorry that this is happening.

Brady: It’s okay. Hey, it’s okay. How’d you get in here, by the way?

Chloe: Eli said it was okay if I just stay in here for a little bit.

Brady: Guess I owe him one.

Chloe: Well, I called belle, and she’s on her way down here too.

Brady: Thank you. I don’t know what good my sister’s gonna do, though. I mean, trask just has it out for me to book me for philip’s murder.

Chloe: And you really can’t remember anything that happened that day?

Brady: Chloe, I wish we could go back down to that river because I was starting to have flashes of memory, but they’re all just fuzzy. They’re all just out of reach. They’re on the edge, you know.

Chloe: I wish that there was some way that I could help you.

Brady: Actually, my dad’s probably climbing the walls right now.

Chloe: Okay, do you want me to go check on him?

Brady: If you could just stop by, let him know that I’m okay. Because everything that’s going on with marlena, I don’t want him freaking out about my situation, you know?

Chloe: Yeah. Okay. I can head down there right now and see if he needs anything.

Brady: Thanks. And I, um– I’m very thankful to you just for everything, especially for believing in me.

Chloe: Of course. I mean, brady, I know who you are, and I know your heart. We’re gonna get through this, okay, together.

Kate: Honey, brady attacked you. The police found him with the bloody knife. He was covered in your blood. He blacked out from drinking.

Philip: Pretty convincing, right?

Kate: What’s convincing?

Philip: I mean, I don’t blame you for thinking that brady killed me. That means my plan was a success.

Kate: Okay, I don’t understand.

Philip: I staged the whole thing, mom. The knife, the blood, the booze I set it all up to make it look like brady had killed me.

Kate: You bastard! Serena: It’s my 3:10

Gwen: Xander, if we miss that flight, there’s gonna be a huge rebooking fee.

Xander: It’s fine, gwen, let it go.

Gwen: Let it go?

Xander: This doesn’t make any sense. After I found you guys together. After sarah called off the wedding, she told me that she was leaving salem with you.

Rex: Well, it didn’t take her long to change her mind.

Xander: She changed her mind?

Rex: I thought we were going away together. That after everything I did, all my mistakes that I finally had her back. But when it came time to leave, she jilted me. Same way she jilted you.

Philip: Was that really necessary?

Kate: Oh, you are lucky it’s just a slap because we’re right now I feel like I could kill you myself.

Philip: Well, that’s extreme.

Kate: Philip, do you have any idea of what you’ve put me through? What you put all of us through? Why the hell would you do something like this?

Philip: Isn’t it obvious? Brady and chloe were having an affair behind my back. I had to make him pay by framing him for my murder.

Kate: Oh. Oh, I see. Because you had to torture brady and chloe, you could put the rest of us through hell?

Philip: I didn’t do it to hurt you.

Kate: To hurt me? Do you realize that I thought you were dead?

Philip: That’s why I’m here. I came back to let you know that I’m okay.

Kate: Well, gee, maybe you should have just told me beforehand or better than that, perhaps you just shouldn’t have done it at all, philip.

Philip: Mom, I’m really sorry for what I put you through, but come on. Aren’t you even a little impressed with how I was able to pull it off?

Kate: Impressed?

Philip: Don’t you wanna know how I did it?

Kate: No. No, I don’t care.

Philip: Not even a little?

Kate: Okay. Okay, fine. Philip, why don’t you tell me how you did it?

Philip: Good. Because I’ve been dying to tell someone. Okay, I’ll start it right here. I followed brady to the pub. I stayed hidden while he and chloe chatted it up. The way they were looking at each other, like I didn’t exist. But after a little while, she left, and he got a phone call.

[Phone rings] Brady was out there all alone. He never saw me coming.

[Tense music]

Kate: So you knocked him out in front of the pub?

Philip: Yep.

Kate: Philip, do you realize that anyone could have seen you do that?

Philip: Relax, I was careful.

Kate: Oh, my god. Okay, so how did you get him down to the river covered in your blood?

Philip: Patience. The story of brady black’s downfall is just beginning.

Belle: How are they treating you in here?

Brady: Oh, just swell. I’m gonna leave a big five-star rating on bighouselliving.Com.

Belle: Okay, smart-ass, don’t take it out on me. You know you’re not the only one who’s dealing with drama.

Brady: What’s going on with you?

Belle: Oh, well, for starters, I had to knock my demonically possessed mother unconscious so she wouldn’t kill ben weston and shawn and dad. You know, the usual.

John: Chloe, come in, come in.

Chloe: Hi, thanks. I just came from seeing brady, and he wanted me to give you an update.

John: I appreciate that. You know, belle just went down there, but I haven’t heard from her yet. So how’s he holding up?

Chloe: Well, he’s good, considering the circumstances.

John: Yeah. Oh, excuse me. I’m sorry.

Chloe: Oh, my goodness. Are you okay?

John: Yeah, I’m fine. Just had a little run-in with el diablo.

Chloe: What?

John: Well, let’s just say that shawn, belle, ben, and I kind of mixed it up with marlena at the cabin. And as you can see, I’m a little bit worse for wear

Chloe: Well, do you need to see a doctor?

John: No, right now I’m more concerned about my son.

Chloe: Yeah, well, he’s concerned about you as well.

John: Of course, he is. So level with me here, what’s it looking like down there?

Chloe: Well, it seems like melinda trask is out for blood. So he’s kind of in a tough spot.

John: You know, how in the hell can trask even get an arrest warrant when we still don’t know if philip is alive or dead?

Kayla: Just when we thought it couldn’t get any more dangerous.

Steve: Sounds like john and the others are lucky to be alive. Most people don’t survive an encounter like that.

Kayla: Well, were they badly injured? I mean, how bad was the attack?

Steve: No, but you can imagine how shaken up they are to come face to face with a power like that. It makes you realize just how vulnerable you are.

Kayla: I just hope that you and john find marlena and get the help that she needs so that nobody else gets hurt.

Steve: I want that too, sweetness. More than anything.

[Romantic music]

Demon marlena: Now I know why they call you sweetness. Hi susan! Honey?

Kayla: Stay away from me.

Demon marlena: Really? After we shared that lovely, romantic kiss.

Kayla: You are sick.

Demon marlena: Really? I kinda thought we had some chemistry.

Kayla: What the hell do you want?

Demon marlena: Well, it’s a very big question. I want so many things.

Kayla: Why would you pretend to be my husband?

Demon marlena: Oh, come now. You’re a smart, respected doctor. Surely you can figure that out. What I can’t figure out is how long you would’ve let that kiss go.

Kayla: What have you done with steve?

Demon marlena: I haven’t done anything to your precious steve. Because it’s you I’m after.

[Eerie music]

Brady: Marlena would’ve killed them.

Belle: I don’t even wanna think about that. It was terrifying to see her like that. Just going crazy on the people that she loves.

Brady: Hey, hey, hey. You know, that’s not your mom.

Belle: Yeah, I know. I just can’t believe this is happening again. You know, we’ve heard the stories but to see it up close.

Brady: I know. Dad must be a wreck.

Belle: Yeah, which is actually why I’m here to see you. I know that the one thing that will help dad sleep easier is the getting you out from under this murder rap.

Brady: Yeah. Well, let’s talk about this. I mean, I wanna know how trask can have me arrested when all of this evidence is circumstantial?

Belle: Well, she was able to pull off something that changed everything.

Brady: They– you’re not telling me they found philip’s body. Is that what you’re saying?

Belle: No, no. But in the eyes of the law, philip kiriakis is dead.

John: Kate and victor had philip legally declared dead?

Chloe: Yes, they did.

John: All right. I can understand kate being out for blood here, but brady is victor’s grandson. Why the hell would he agree to something like that?

Chloe: I don’t know. I can’t understand why victor does anything that he does.

John: I mean, come on. He would’ve had to understand that she would use that against brady here. What the hell’s the matter with all them?

Chloe: John, it’s okay. Just try to stay calm, all right?

John: Calm down? How do you do that? My son was just arrested for murder, and my wife is running around out there with the damn devil in her.

Kate: I’ve had it with your cryptic riddles. Just tell me how you got him away from the pub without anyone seeing you.

Philip: See? You are interested in my story.

[Dramatic music]

Cheating bitch. Luckily for me, once I took brady down, it was just a matter of dragging that heavy carcass into the bushes.

Kate: You’re proud of yourself, aren’t you?

Philip: Hang on, hang on. I’m just getting to the good part.

While brady was lying there like a sack of old clothes, I fished his credit card out of his wallet. Then I went into the pub and charged a bunch of shots in brady’s name.

Kate: Okay. Wait, wait, wait, wait. The police said that brady had three times the legal limit of alcohol in his system.

Philip: Awfully high, right?

Kate: Yeah. Okay. So how did you manage that if you bought the alcohol that he supposedly got drunk on?

Philip: Oh, that was the easy part. I couldn’t exactly pour the liquor down his throat. So I cut out the middle man and injected the booze right into his system.

Kate: You could have killed him, philip.

Philip: That was a risk I was willing to take. People everywhere living with type 2 diabetes

Xander: Just to be clear, you’re saying you and sarah haven’t been together since you left.

Rex: What are you not getting about this? We were never together.

Xander: Just doesn’t make any sense.

Gwen: Xander, can we please go now?

Xander: Gwen, please wait.

Rex: Oh, look, it’s been real special reconnecting with you, sharing notes about how sarah dumped us both, but I really have to go. From the looks of things, so do you. So gwen, pleasure to meet you.

Gwen: Yeah, you too.

Xander: And I guess enjoy your trip.

Gwen: Right, well, now that that’s over, we really–

Xander: Rex, wait!

Gwen: What are you doing?

Xander: Rex, if sarah is not with you, then where the hell is she?

[Dramatic music]

Brady: So my grandfather sold me out. Can’t say I’m surprised.

Belle: I’m sure kate was the driving force.

Brady: Mm-hmm. That would explain why trask felt she had enough to arrest me.

Belle: Oh, that woman will do anything to get a conviction.

Brady: I know. So tell me, how do we avoid having me as another notch on her belt?

Belle: Well, I think we have to go through all the facts again. So let me just make sure I have this right. The very last thing you remember before waking up in the hospital is being at the pub, picking up lunch for dad.

Brady: Yeah, I was talking to chloe, ended my conversation with chloe. She walked away. I got a phone call, and then it’s blank. It’s blank. I started to feel like I was regaining some memories when I was down at the river with chloe earlier, but that was when trask showed up and arrested me.

Belle: Well, was it anything solid? Is it anything that would help your case?

Brady: No, it was sketchy. Belle, it was just voices, honestly.

Belle: Voices?

Brady: Yeah.

Belle: Yeah, well, trask is already trying to paint you as a rage-filled drunk. So I don’t think voices are gonna help.

Brady: I don’t think so either. I wish– I wish I had more to offer.

Belle: No, me too. We really need something concrete to help discredit all of the circumstantial evidence they have.

Brady: What, like, we need an eyewitness outside of the pub, right? Something like that?

Belle: Maybe we have a witness.

Brady: No, belle, who? There was nobody there that I remember.

Belle: No, not who, what. The pub has a security camera out front. Maybe it caught what happened to you after you blacked out.

Kate: You didn’t care if you killed brady.

Philip: I mean, I wasn’t trying to kill him. But don’t you see? I had to inject him with that booze. I needed him to be drunk enough to start sending those awful threatening text messages.

[Dramatic music]

I started to write angry, threatening texts from brady to me. And some of those messages I sent, or rather he sent, the guy sounded like a murderous psycho, the kind of person who’d stab his own uncle.

Kate: I’m almost afraid to ask what you did next.

Philip: The next step was stuffing brady into the trunk of my car. I drove him to that special place chloe and I planted our tree. The one to renew our love. What a joke, right? She was leading me on the whole time. So I left brady’s watch there for her to find later.

Kate: You said brady destroyed that tree in a jealous rage.

Philip: It wasn’t easy to make chloe believe that. I have to say.

Kate: Because brady didn’t destroy that tree, you did.

Philip: You know me so well, mother.

John: Oh, everybody is always trying to take care of me. I appreciate it, chloe, but I don’t need water. I just need my family to be safe.

Chloe: I know. And I don’t think I can really help you with the marlena situation, but I could try to convince kate to withdraw her request.

John: [Laughs] And you think you’re the right person for the job? I mean, no offense, but that woman hates your guts.

Chloe: And the feeling is mutual, but we both care about philip, and we wanna see whoever did this to philip be brought to justice.

John: And you don’t think that there is a possibility brady might have done it?

Chloe: In my heart, I think that he’s innocent.

John: So do I. I just wanted to hear you say it, chloe.

Chloe: And I’m not sure I can convince kate of that, but I’m gonna try.

John: My boy is lucky to have you in his corner.

Chloe: And brady’s been there for me so many times that I owe it him. He and philip. So I’m gonna pray for you and good luck to you, marlena. Okay?

John: Thank you. I’m gonna give my partner a call here and see if he’s got any word on her.

Chloe: Okay, good luck.

John: Thanks for stopping by, chloe.

Chloe: Thank you.

[Line ringing]

John: Come on, partner, pick it up.

Steve: This is steve johnson. Leave a message.

John: Well, better try kayla, again.

Kayla: Why are you here? What do you want with me?

Demon marlena: You know, ever since I came back to salem, you have been a thorn in my side. You, your ridiculous husband, your annoying nephew, and his oh so bothersome wife.

Kayla: Belle is marlena’s daughter, and she loves her with all her heart.

Demon marlena: Blah, blah, blah. I should have killed the lot of you when I figured out that you were trying to challenge my plans for john black and doug williams.

Kayla: John defeated you before, he’ll do it again.

Demon marlena: John is not as strong as he used to be. And I have become so much stronger.

Kayla: But he is not alone in the fight. I will not let you kill the people that I love.

Demon marlena: I’m not going to kill anybody. Yet. But I am gonna put shawn and belle through a fate worse than death. And you, my darling kayla, are gonna be the key to helping me do that.

Kayla: I won’t do anything to help you.

[Phone rings]

Demon marlena: Now you’ve really made me angry.

Nicorette knows, quitting

smoking is freaking hard.

Kate: Honestly, I just cannot believe that you would go this far to punish brady.

Philip: Like mother, like son.

Kate: The hell that’s supposed to mean?

Philip: What the hell does that mean? Should I call vivian to ask her how far you’ve gone in the name of vengeance?

Kate: Vivian is a monster.

Philip: What about jake and gabi? Wasn’t that long ago you were pretending to be blind to punish them for their betrayal?

Kate: Okay, not the same.

Philip: Why not?

Kate: Because I caused jake to lose his job at dimera. I didn’t frame a family member for murder by drugging them.

Philip: Damn it, mom. Why– why do you and dad always take everyone else’s side? Did I make a mistake in thinking I could trust you?

Kate: No, no, philip, no. I’m sorry. It’s okay. Just finish your story, okay? It’s okay.

Philip: Thank you. Now, where was I? Oh, yeah, so after chloe left, that’s when I dragged brady’s body to the riverside. I couldn’t get the image of them together out of my head. Kissing, laughing at me. So I took out the knife, and I cut myself with it.

Kate: You cut yourself?

Philip: I had to. It was the only way that I could get chloe and the police to believe that brady had murdered me. So I opened up a nice little gusher, and I smeared the blood all over the knife and all over brady. And I carefully tracked blood down to the riverside, threw my prosthetic leg into the middle of the river. Luckily for me, I kept my old one when I got my replacement a few years ago. Pretty brilliant, huh?

[Dramatic music]

Belle: Hey, you!

Rex: Belle, hi.

Belle: I heard you were back in town.

Rex: It’s so good to see you.

Belle: Yeah, you too. Hey, I’m really sorry about everything that’s going on with philip.

Rex: Oh, man. Thank you. Yeah. And I hear that you’re defending brady.

Belle: Yeah, I am. Actually, that’s why I’m here. I wanted to talk to your dad about checking out the surveillance footage from the night philip disappeared.

Rex: Yeah, um, my dad isn’t here.

Belle: Oh. Well, do you think you could help me find it?

Rex: Belle, I don’t know how he feels about– I mean, look, philip is my brother, and you’re defending the guy who might have killed him.

Belle: First of all, brady didn’t kill anyone. And it’s because philip is your brother that you should wanna help me find out what happened to him.

Xander: I don’t understand any of this. Everything I thought I knew about why sarah left is a lie.

Gwen: Well, I-I suppose– well, I suppose, in the end, she just decided she wanted to be on her own.

Xander: Okay, I mean, I get why she’d lie to me, but what about her mother? Why text maggie pretending that she’s off with rex at doctors without borders and that they’re happy?

Gwen: Xander, are you sure that maggie wasn’t just playing along? You know, maybe she’s just trying to protect her daughter.

Xander: There’s no way she was acting, gwen. Maggie believed that sarah was with rex, just like I did.

Gwen: Well, I’m sure that there is a logical explanation for all of this.

Xander: I have to go talk to maggie.

Gwen: I don’t think that we should worry her unnecessarily.

Xander: Her daughter’s been lying about her whereabouts. Something could be really wrong.

Gwen: We don’t know that do, do we? But what I do know is that if we do not go to the airport now, we will not make it in time to london for the holidays.

Xander: Are you joking?

Gwen: Joking about what?

Xander: I can’t possibly leave now, gwen. I have to find sarah and talk to her directly.

Gwen: Are you really–

Xander: She lied to me about where she’s been, about where she went. I have to find out why. Hi sabrina!

Brady: Come on, man. You gotta tr– you gotta try to remember what happened. Phil, get your hands off me. Think. Think. Think. Come on, think. Hey, did you talk to roman?

Belle: Uh, he wasn’t there, so rex checked the security footage.

Brady: And?

Belle: Someone erased it.

[Dramatic music]

Kate: Okay. You know, the part that I really cannot wrap my head around is that you’ve done all of this because of chloe.

Philip: I loved her, and she said she loved me too. But they made a fool of me, mom. Even you said you thought she and brady were sleeping together.

Kate: Okay, I said that because I was hoping that you would break it off with her, not do something crazy like this.

Philip: Well, she lied to me, okay? Over and over and over again. I watched them walk into the salem inn together. I overheard them talking about having sex in the basic black boardroom.

Chloe: Brady, seriously, I mean it. You cannot tell anybody what happened here last night. I mean–

Brady: I know what you mean. I know you’re referring to the sex that happened on the conference table. Okay, listen to me, I’m not gonna tell a soul about it. It’ll be our secret, okay?

Philip: She made him promise to never tell anyone about their secret sex romp. They had sex on the conference table. Do you know how humiliating that is?

Kate: Okay, look, I never said that you shouldn’t feel humiliated and betrayed. Never said that.

Philip: What about them? That they should just get to walk away from this? I mean, don’t you see, mom, they’re getting exactly what they deserve, and they’ll never know that I’m behind it.

Kate: What does that mean? What are you saying? Do you think– are you gonna stay dead forever?

Philip: For now.

Kate: [Sighs] I don’t think I can keep a secret like that, philip.

Philip: Of course, you can.

Kate: Your father deserves to know that you’re alive.

Philip: The hell with dad. He told chloe that I’m dead to him.

Kate: Okay. You know he doesn’t mean that. He always says things like that. Philip, come on. Come on, do you realize how many people love you? Do you realize how many people are mourning your death right now?

[Knocking on door]

Chloe: Hey, kate? Are you in there? I need to talk to you.

Philip: Don’t answer that.

John: Hey, kay, it’s john. Again, listen, I’m sorry I’m leaving so many messages here, but I’m getting kinda worried. I’m trying to track steve down to see if he’s got any word on marlena. So could you please call me back as soon as you get this? Thanks.

[Sighs]

[Dramatic music]

Demon marlena: Thank you, kayla, for the use of your key card.

[Eerie music]

Hello, sleeping beauty. It’s time to wake up.

Steffy: It just doesn’t seem fair that brooke’s demanding that dad should just allow deacon back into their lives, like how can any good come from that? It’s just crazy to me. Like– what are we? What am I doing? Wait a minute, what? You’re here. You are here, my mom– my mom is here and I should just be enjoying this moment with you. I should be so grateful instead of just wasting time on brooke.

Taylor: Oh, honey, don’t worry about it, please. You are just, you’re just worried about your dad and his marriage because you are a kind and loving daughter. But honestly, I’m kind of worried, too, because you’re right, uh, what brooke is asking of ridge is not fair. It’s not fair at all.

Ridge: Deacon, come on.

Brooke: Don’t–

Ridge: You say you want to have a relationship with hope.

Deacon: I do.

Ridge: But that’s not the only thing you want, right? I think you’re delusional enough to think you’re going to have a relationship with my wife.

Brooke: You’re overreacting.

Ridge: No, no, no. I’m calm. I’m calm. I’m just– what do you want me to do? Keep my blinders on? They can keep plotting, he and sheila can just sit in that little hotel room.

Deacon: Yeah, I’m not– I’m not living with sheila, anymore.

Ridge: No? Then where are you living? Because you’ve got no money for an apartment, you have no job to get money for an apartment, so what are you doing? Teaching karate to hope? Is she paying you?

Deacon: Stop, I would never do that–

Ridge: Of course you would. You absolutely would. Sso what are you doing? Tell us the truth.

Deacon: You want to know the truth? I’m staying in a storage room in a bar, okay? I’ve got a cot crammed in–

Ridge: In a bar? That is perfect.

Deacon: No, it’s not like that, alright? They’re taking a chance on me. They– they hired me to clean, alright? I’m working. I’m not drinking. I’m working. So that’s got to say something, right? And you can forget about sheila because I’m not shacking up with her anymore. You want to know I’m sleeping with? I’m sleeping with a mop. Yeah, that’s right. A mop.

Steffy: It’s upsetting knowing dad’s going through this, it would’ve been different if–

Taylor: Uh-uhn. Choices were made. Can’t go back…

Steffy: I know. I know… I don’t suppose you want to talk to brooke and maybe just like, knock some sense into her? I’m just saying.

Taylor: I– talk to brooke? There’s a lot of people that I want to see while I’m in L.A. And my ex-husband’s wife is not one of them, so…

Steffy: I figured, but I had to ask.

Taylor: Yeah.

Steffy: So now that you’re back, who does dr. Taylor hayes want to see?

Taylor: Old friends. Colleagues. You know who’s at the top of my list? Your grandfather. I– eric has such a dear place in my heart. I can’t wait to give him a big squeeze, especially after hearing everything that he’s been going through. Did quinn really have an affair–?

Steffy: Don’t even get me started.

Taylor: I just, I don’t know. I have such fond memories of my time with stephanie, we were so close. And then your grandmother was so special to me. For him to go from her to quinn.

Steffy: Yeah, and& nobody understands it.

Taylor: I feel for him.

Steffy: It’s a really bad time for the forrester men. Granddad putting up with quinn’s behavior and dad putting up with brooke’s? I don’t know which is worse.

Brooke: Ridge, don’t make deacon feel bad.

Ridge: Are you kidding me right now? Really?

Brooke: He’s trying to better himself. He’s got a job.

Ridge: He’s got a job at a bar so he can– when he gets all drunk, he can sleep on a cot so he doesn’t have to look for his park bench. That’s not betterment.

Brooke: No, no, that’s not what he is–

Deacon: Brooke, it’s okay. You don’t have to defend me.

Brooke: No, somebody has to defend you. You just got out of prison. You want a relationship with your daughter and you don’t need to explain about your job.

Deacon: I didn’t come here to cause problems.

Ridge: That is what you came here. That’s your master plan.

Deacon: No, my only plan is to teach hope some more karate, today, alright? Look, I’m going to excuse myself. I’m going to go down to the cabin before this gets any more heated. This doesn’t need to get out of hand.

Brooke: Thank you, deacon.

Deacon: Yeah.

Ridge: Wow, “thank you, deacon.” Nice–

Brooke: Ridge, come on.

Ridge: No, you come on. What are you thanking him for? For walking in this house whenever he wants to? Why do you not see what I see? He’s playing you.

Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Deacon: Alright, you ready for this?

Hope: Been looking forward to it.

Deacon: Okay. Uh, should we move some furniture?

Hope: Well, the weather’s so nice. Do you want to go outside and we can maybe go up to the terrace?

Deacon: Uh, okay. Uh, just a heads up: Your mom’s at the house with ridge. Things are a little tense.

Hope: Good to know.

Taylor: Oh, it was shocking enough to hear over the phone. I can only imagine what it was like in person, finding out that sheila was finn’s birth mother.

Steffy: Exactly why I don’t want you apologizing anymore for missing the wedding. I would have hated putting you through that, going face to face with sheila? Are you kidding?

Taylor: Ugh. Kay, let’s just not talk about that anymore, or that awful time in my life. Let’s just talk about positive things like memories, childhood memories. When you were, when you were younger, when your sister was alive. Grandmother. God, stephanie, stephanie was always such a big support system for me back then. And, stephanie, you know, she definitely saw through brooke, she saw her for who she was.

Steffy: Yeah.

Taylor: And she tried like hell to stop her, keep her away. Oh, I miss her.

Steffy: I do, too.

Taylor: You know, she– she would be so proud of you. Oh, honey, she would be so proud. I could just see her. She’s the, you know, the overly doting great grandmother.

Steffy: Ugh, right? I wish kelly and hayes could have known her. What?

Taylor: Mm. Nothing. No, it’s– I– I’m not sure that I am worthy of having a grandson named after me.

Steffy: Are you kidding? Mom, from personal experience, I know what an honor it is to be named after your grandmother.

Taylor: Okay.

Steffy: And hayes gets to grow up learning about you. And knowing that you help so many people, so many people around the world.

Taylor: Well, I love my job but I might love being a mom just a little bit more.

Steffy: I know the feeling.

Taylor: I am so happy to see you like this. So, so fulfilled with finn, beautiful family. Finn is a great find, steffy. And– and nothing against liam. But, I am so happy that you walked away, and gotten out of that situation, that dysfunctional thing with him and hope. That took a lot of strength. I am– I am so proud of you. My strong…

Steffy: Ah, mom…

Taylor: Talented… daughter. I’m so proud and happy of this lovely life that you’re creating. Look at you. It’s wonderful.

Steffy: I’m grateful. Really, really grateful. I’m even more grateful now that you’re here. Gosh, I, yeah. I– I want to stay.

Deacon: Okay, today, I’m going to teach you something really special. It comes from the far east. It’s called the five finger death technique.

Hope: Really?

Deacon: No, I made that up.

Hope: Dad.

Deacon: We’re gonna drill kicks, alright?

Brooke: I don’t wanna argue about this anymore, ridge.

Ridge: Oh, you think I want to argue about it? I don’T.

Brooke: Hey, hey, look, if deacon hurts hope in any way at all, he will be the first to go. I will kick him out, I promise you that. But in the meantime, let’s just give him a chance, okay? I love you. I don’t want to upset you. But deacon is hope’s father and he’s back. And taylor’s back.

Ridge: You’re not comparing the two, right? Because you can’T.

Brooke: Well, I can. I have a child with deacon and you have children with taylor. You have issues with deacon. I have issues with taylor. And they both are back in town right now.

Ridge: Yeah– yeah, but taylor comes and goes because she’s helping people all over the world. He’s here because he just get out of prison!

Brooke: Yeah, she comes and goes, alright.

Ridge: What does that mean? Well, when she goes, she tends to leave us to deal with the family issues, like with the grandchildren and with the children.

Ridge: Well…

Brooke: I mean, where was she, ridge, when thomas was first having his issues? What about when steffy was taking pills? And then when caroline died and left douglas, my daughter had to step in and had to take care of her grandchild.

Ridge: And that’s something we should revisit anyway.

Brooke: Excuse me?

Ridge: Thomas is better. It’s his kid. He should be the prime caregiver.

Brooke: Is this taylor talking right now, or is this you?

Ridge: What?

Brooke: Oh my god, you’ve been speaking with taylor. She’s brainwashed you, ridge!

Ridge: The only brainwashing going on around here is done by deacon. And it worries me. Look at me. It worries me a lot. Hi susan! Honey?

Steffy: You know what is so crazy? Mother and daughter are both losing our husbands to a logan.

Taylor: Stolen by. That’s the logan way.

Steffy: Yeah, that’s what they do. They play like damsel in distress, whether it’s like the perfectly timed giggle or the tear down the cheek and the men just fall for it! Liam fell for it. Dad fell for it. Not that I’m complaining because I’m very fulfilled, I’m happy in my relationship with finn. And I’m genuinely happy for hope and liam, I just find it interesting.

Taylor: Are you, though? Are you really happy for liam and hope?

Steffy: I am, for the most part. I feel bad for liam– being married to hope means that he has to deal with deacon. But again, that’s what the logans do. They always think for themselves. Here we have liam who’s upset and frustrated but hope doesn’t care. All she cares about is having a relationship with deacon. And liam’s upset. And so is dad. Dad’s frustrated because he has to deal with brooke and brooke is defending her daughter.

Taylor: The logans do tend to stick together…

Steffy: At the expense of everyone else.

Taylor: And this time looks like your father’s paying the price.

Ridge: Oh, honey. Oh, it is becoming very clear to me that you’re not going to listen to my concerns.

Brooke: Concerns about a man who’s doing all that he can to prove that he’s changed.

Ridge: Proved that he’s changed? How has he changed? How? The only thing that’s different is that now he’s walking in here and he’s welcomed by you. And he walks in any time he wants!

Brooke: Ridge, don’t make this a big deal, please. He’s down there teaching hope karate, today. That’s why he’s here. And I think you would see the benefit in that because hope can learn how to defend herself and protect herself, since at one time, she was a victim.

Ridge: Really, you’re gonna do that? You’re gonna dig at thomas? That’s not fair. It’s not nice at all. If she wants to learn karate, go anywhere in the valley– there’s 100 places where you can learn how to do karate. You don’t need some ex-con hanging out with sheila teaching you how to do it.

Brooke: He’s not hanging out with sheila.

Ridge: He’s no? And you know that, why? Because he told you and that’s it? You believe it.

Brooke: And why shouldn’t I believe him? I think he’s harmless.

Ridge: He’s harmless? What can I do? How do I protect you? How do I protect hope?

Deacon: Wow, they’re really going at it. I didn’t want this.

Ridge: She needs to do it somewhere else. It can’t be here. I can’t deal with it.

Brooke: Look. We need to find a way to get through this, ridge. All of us together, as a family.

Ridge: That’s all I’m trying to do is to get through this as a family, with you, but you don’t listen to me anymore. You don’t listen to me at all. What do I do? Keep walking out? And I’m going to do it again because I don’t know what to say to you anymore. I’m gonna go for a drive, get some air.

Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Steffy: You’re right. Dad’s the one paying the price. Basically drowning over at brooke’S. I think he needs our help.

Taylor: No. No! No, he’s just– it’s not our place–

Steffy: Mom… mom–

Taylor: I hear you, it’s–

Steffy: Mom. He needs you. I know you’ve moved on. You put him behind you and I know it wasn’t easy but it is written all over your face. Anyone could see that you still have feelings for him.

Taylor: Well, of course, I do. He’s the love of my life, steffy. He always will be.

Steffy: Mom.

Taylor: I know.

[Brooke sighs]

Hope: Mom.

Brooke: Oh, hi, honey. How was your workout? Did you have fun?

Hope: We did, but um… we couldn’t help but overhear. Look, it’s– it’s okay if…

Brooke: Yeah.

Hope: If you want to talk about it.

Brooke: Uh I just hate this, you know? Arguing with ridge like this.

Hope: I’m– I’m sorry, mom.

Deacon: I hate to see her like that.

Deacon: I– I’m the problem, I should go.

Hope: No, no, dad. I don’t– I don’t want you going anywhere. I hate that ridge and my mom are at odds. And it’s because of me, wanting a relationship with you. I just– I have to have faith that their love will get them through this.

I look into the distance

[Phone dials]

And see a great beyond there’s a home with so much promise–

Ridge: Hey, I’m not here to take your call. Leave a message and I’ll call you back.

I’m not sure how we lost–

Brooke: Oh, god.

But some might say just let it be because our lives are meant for someone else you were never meant for me I just can’t accept defeat what we shared ’til now is not complete should have been forever you and me together but you were meant for me so to think the end is near only makes me want you here ’cause I know that we belong I just can’t accept defeat what we shared ’til now is not complete to think the end is near only makes me want you here ’cause I know that we belong

Connor: I can’t believe it! Everything’s exactly the same as the last time I saw it.

Chelsea: It’s good to be back, isn’t it?

Connor: It’s the best.

Adam: Well, you have two homes. You can stay here sometimes with your mom and the rest of the time at the ranch with me.

Connor: Does that mean we’ll get a tree for here, too?

Chelsea: You know, I hadn’t really thought about it yet.

Connor: It’s not christmas without a tree. We have to.

Adam: Well, your granddad, he always has a giant one. He always does.

Connor: This is going to be the coolest christmas ever. Not because of the trees and presents, but because mom is finally at home again.

Chelsea: Seeing you is the best part. You are the greatest gift. Oh! [ Laughs ]

Adam: Yeah, is it as bouncy as you remember?

Connor: Yeah. You know what else I remember? Pizza and movie nights. First one, I chose the movie, but dad burned dinner so we had to order out for pizza.

Chelsea: Yes, and we all fell asleep before the movie ended.

Adam: [ Laughs ] That was — it was — it was so much fun.

Connor: I’ll never forget that. We were all together. We were a real family. It was the best, wasn’t it?

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Chloe: Sally? What the hell are you doing?

Noah: Alright, I know we are a week away from christmas, but why should that stop me from giving you an early gift?

Mariah: Ooh, what did you get me?

Noah: Actually, I was talking to tessa. Sorry, you’ll have to wait just like everyone else.

Mariah: Oh, please, please let it be another scented candle because you can’t think of anything else.

Tessa: [ Chuckles ]

Noah: You know, a lot of thought went into those, actually. Anyways, I’ve been working on the album cover using the image we all liked best, and voil.

Tessa: Oh! This is so exciting. Oh, wow.

Noah: I superimposed your smile over a cityscape.

Mariah: That’s beautiful. You’re beautiful.

Noah: And brilliant.

Mariah: Why? Because she hired you to take her photo for the album?

Tessa: Yeah, I mean, there’s no denying she has good taste. We’ll leave it at that.

Tessa: [ Chuckles ]

Noah: So what do you think?

Tessa: I love it.

Mariah: Yeah, there’s just this area over — over here that I think could use a little bit of work. It’s the blue, it kind of seems oversaturated.

Noah: That’s my favorite part. You don’t like it?

Mariah: Well, what if we tried a different color?

Noah: Different color, really?

Mariah: Well, I know that you are the artistic genius here, but it doesn’t hurt to have another set of eyes.

Noah: Depends on the eyes.

Mariah: Noah, I love you and I love your work. It’s just if you keep the picture as-is, it sort of loses its familiarity. You know, and it’s — honestly, it’s a little — little scary. And, uh, you know, that’s just not tessa and her music.

Noah: Well, when did you get so opinionated? Tess, do you mind telling your manager that I know what I’m doing?

Mariah: Excuse me. Would you mind telling your photographer — my brother — that it’s always valuable to have other people’s opinions, especially the opinions of somebody who, I don’t know, is in a relationship with the singer.

Noah: What do you think, tess?

Tessa: Uh…um, I — I — uh, I’m not sure, you know? I-I don’t — I could see that it needs work, but I’m sure that we will find something that we are all gonna be happy with.

Noah: Oh, that was very diplomatic of you. Let’s get real here. Are you siding with her or with me? Not only do centrum multigummies

taste great.

Sally: I was just gonna have a bite and grab something hot to drink. Join me.

Chloe: Yeah, I’ve been watching you for the last few minutes, all bundled up like maybe you didn’t want someone to recognize you, and it looks a little weird. And I have learned to be suspicious of weird. So who are you hiding from?

Sally: Well, there is a simple explanation. I was woefully unprepared for my first wisconsin winter last year — and mistake that I swore I wouldn’t repeat.

Chloe: And you’re rocking a pair of sunglasses because you didn’t want to go snow-blind? And you’re wearing this wig because, what, you want to know if blondes really do have more fun? You know, I saw billy and lily leaving when I was coming in, and then I notice you over here bundled up like mrs. Claus in spite of the fact that you’re in a toasty restaurant, and now you are taking your layers off even though I know you’ve been in here for a while. And you were smiling at your phone like the cat who caught the canary.

Sally: We have been generating a lot of buzz on social media. People are loving our videos.

Chloe: Listen. I have got all the time in the world, and I’m not going anywhere until I get the truth.

Sally: Fine. Just to get you off my back.

Adam: You are gonna have so many pizza and movie nights now that your mom’s home.

Connor: Yeah?

Adam: Yeah. Pepperoni, sausage, anime, action — you name it.

Connor: And I get to stay up as late as I want?

Chelsea: [ Laughs ] Don’t push it. You still have a bedtime, mister. Why don’t you run upstairs and see if everything looks the way you left it, hmm?

Connor: Maybe my old soccer ball’s up there. I’ll bet it’s flat by now.

Adam: Well, I’ll take it to the ranch. I’ll pump it up for you.

Connor: Cool.

Chelsea: [ Chuckles ] Oh, the energy that kid has amazes me.

[ Sighs ] But it’s nice to see him so happy.

Adam: Well, like I said earlier, he, um — he missed you.

Chelsea: You handled that well. Managing his expectations about the three of us.

Adam: Well, the most important thing is he knows that both of us love him and that’ll never change, no matter what.

Chelsea: I completely agree. It’s strange being back here.

Adam: Part of the reason i moved to the ranch. Just too many memories.

Chelsea: And which memories were the hardest to handle? What we had…or what it turned into?

Tessa: No, mnh-mnh. No! I am not doing it. I’m not gonna choose sides.

Noah: I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It was cruel. I shouldn’t have put you in that position. I was just messing with you guys.

Mariah: What? That — that was a joke? The big eyeball with the blue splotches? Are you — are you kidding me?

Noah: Yeah, I just added in those elements ’cause I knew one or both of you would hate it, and I wanted to see your reaction.

Tessa: [ Laughs ] Noah! That’s so wrong.

Noah: I had to see how passionate you were about the work.

Tessa: [ Laughs ]

Mariah: Unforgivable. Do you think da vinci would do that or ansel adams?

Noah: Oh, you think I’m that good, huh?

Mariah: Oh, that’s very funny.

Noah: [ Chuckles ]

Tessa: You know what? It was actually was funny. It was nice to see you so invested. You were about to go to war with a world-famous artist just to protect my image.

Mariah: Anytime you need me to take this guy down a notch, I’m your gal.

Noah: Oh, I’d like to see you try.

Mariah: Oh, anytime, anywhere, buddy.

[ Laughs ]

Faith: Is this a private debate or can anyone join in?

Mariah: Oh, faith, thank goodness.

Noah: We are having creative differences.

Tessa: And you’ll stay out of it if you know what’s good for you.

Faith: Done.

Noah: You must be moses.

Moses: Yeah.

Faith: Moses, this is my brother noah.

Noah: It’s nice to meet you.

Moses: You too. Faith has shown me some of your work.

Noah: Ah, what’d you think?

Moses: Oh, I loved it. Pretty cool stuff.

Mariah: Made by somebody so incredibly uncool, it’s a mystery.

Noah: Oh, that’s very funny. I’ll get back to you. So what are you guys up to?

Moses: Oh, just hanging out.

Noah: You must be a saint. Last time I hung out with faith, she hogged all the popcorn at the movies, ate all of my fries at lunch —

Faith: Wait, never happened.

Noah: Will you two back me up on this?

Tessa: I do recall a couple incidents of brownie thievery.

Faith: I did not.

Tessa: Mm, well, it was at this very table, hmm? Remember? We ordered two brownies, fresh from the oven — perfect, fudgy, delicious. I go up to order drinks, I come back, and one is gone and the other has a bite taken out of it.

Faith: Oh. Yeah, maybe that did happen.

Noah: The truth.

Faith: But I was hungry and it was so warm and so good.

Tessa: Well, I swore that very day that I would never leave a snack unattended with faith around.

Moses: I had no idea.

Faith: I am not that bad, really.

Mariah: Hey, faith gives as much as she gets. She always shares her tips with the baristas when she works here. She’s an amazing sister, and I’m very lucky.

Tessa: Well, your little sister is a snack destroyer.

[ Laughter ]

Faith: You two are killing me. Mariah, you are so protective. And, tessa, you are going for the jugular. You two are like the super-sweet and corny parents that you always see in the sitcoms.

Noah: You know, in the sitcom version of this, mariah, the sweet mom, would be going on and on about how thoughtful and generous faith is, all the while she’d be right behind you stealing fries from your plate till it’s empty.

Faith: And tessa, the tough mom, is watching the whole thing, trying to call mariah’s attention to the theft going on right under her nose, but she just can’t interrupt the heartwarming parental lecture.

Noah: Yeah, you guys would be the perfect pair of parents — the businesswoman who only sees the good and the singer who sees everything. You’d be a total pushover.

Tessa: And tessa would like to go back to talking about her album cover.

Moses: Oh, devon’s been playing your music at the house.

Tessa: Okay, what — what do you think?

Moses: I love it.

Faith: Yeah, he really does. I’ve heard him singing a couple of your songs when he thinks no one’s listening.

Moses: Oh, wow, all the secrets are coming out.

Faith: Pretty cool that you’ve gone back to devon’s label for your new album.

Moses: Yeah, and it’s been great working there, having my internship, because I get to help out on it.

Tessa: Well, I feel incredibly lucky to have devon in my corner. He’s been so supportive and he’s given me so much freedom on this project. He knows where I’ve been, where I’m trying to go, and — and i honestly don’t know where i would be without him.

Mariah: Hey, is it premature to give faith and moses a look at what you’re doing?

Noah: Show them the cover art?

Mariah: Mm.

Tessa: Uh, I mean, yeah. As long as we swear them to secrecy.

Moses: Oh, I promise I won’t tell a soul.

Mariah: Okay.

Tessa: Oh, you’re leaving?

Mariah: Yeah, I got some reports to file back at jabot.

Tessa: Oh, right now?

Mariah: Yeah, but I’ll see you at home. Okay, see you, everybody.

Noah: See ya.

Tessa: Okay.

Noah: Anyways, I took the original photo, added some layers, some color, wanted to restructure a little bit. Tessa?

Tessa: Huh? Oh, sorry, what’d I miss?

Noah: I’m just showing our captive audience how I’m doing my part to catapult your album to the top of the charts.

Tessa: Oh, that.

Moses: Wow, this is some really next-level stuff.

Faith: Isn’t it? Our very own star.

Noah: Wait, are you talking about me or her?

Tessa: Uh, me, obviously.

Noah: Oh.

[ Laughter ]

Adam: Being here with you is stirring up all the memories. When things were great. When they weren’T.

Chelsea: I feel the same way. I just keep playing it over in my mind, wondering where it all went wrong. I mean, what — what we could’ve done differently.

Adam: Well, it wasn’t any one thing. And there’s no going back, chelsea.

Chelsea: We loved each other, adam. So much. There was so much good. There was so much great, actually. I mean, look at our son.

Adam: He has both his parents in the same town again and making him feel secure, that is the most important thing, and we’re doing that.

Chelsea: We are.

Adam: Well, I should get back to the office and let you get settled in.

Chelsea: How’s it working out with chloe? And sally?

Sally: Alright, you found me out. I was spying on billy.

Chloe: Sally, what were you thinking? Why would you do that?

Sally: Well, because, as you know, adam and billy are in a battle royale, and if billy decides to retaliate on newman media, everything that you and I have accomplished could go up in flames.

Chloe: Oh. So you were going undercover to save the fashion division.

Sally: Yes.

Chloe: If you want to do something for us, stick to designing. Do something creative. Network.

Sally: Okay, I tried talking to billy, but he wouldn’t tell me what’s going on.

Chloe: You work for the enemy, sally. I mean, what, did you think that you could connect with him in some meaningful way? That he would be so moved by your interest that he would just have to confess?

Sally: Okay, well, I spoke to him with real empathy, something that nobody else is showing him right now, and trust me, he responded.

Chloe: And? What’d he say? Did he bare his soul?

Sally: No. But it was worth a try. But I did walk away from our little run-in even more worried about what billy is capable of, so i decided to take an indirect approach and just follow him around and see what he’s planning.

Chloe: Okay, you don’t realize what you’re getting yourself mixed up in.

Sally: I know billy and adam hate each other. Adam is still furious with billy about that hit piece that he published, and billy will never forgive adam for the death of your daughter. Even though adam has changed.

Chloe: Do you even hear yourself?

Sally: What are you talking about?

Chloe: You said that you weren’t interested in adam. It was strictly business. Nothing personal, and now he’s got you running around, playing harriet the spy.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Chloe: He’s pulling at your strings. You’re just like his little puppet.

Sally: It’s not like that.

Chloe: It’s exactly like that. Adam is using you. Some people have joint pain,

Noah: And I’m sure I’ll make some more adjustments, play with some new elements, add some new colors maybe.

Faith: I can’t wait to see what the cover looks like when it’s finished.

Moses: Yeah, it’s pretty cool how you and tessa are working together on this. It’s like you guys have a whole vision for the album.

Noah: Yeah, well, tessa’s music blows me away.

Tessa: Well, I love how noah’s photographs always capture things that most people wouldn’t notice.

Noah: It was an easy assignment. All I had to do was capture the feelings I get when I listen to your songs.

Tessa: [ Chuckles ]

Faith: Let’s go grab a table in the no-work zone. I’ll leave you two artistes to get back to creating your masterpiece.

Moses: Well, I can’t wait to see the final product.

Noah: See ya, man.

Tessa: Alright, where were we?

Noah: You know, I couldn’t help but notice how mariah took off. It was kind of like she couldn’t get out of here fast enough. I really hope I didn’t upset her with my lame attempt at a joke.

Tessa: Oh, no, I don’t think it was that. I think she just has, um… a lot going on right now.

Noah: So do you. You okay?

Tessa: Yeah, of course. Why wouldn’t I be? I have so much to be grateful for.

Noah: You have a lot to be proud of. You worked really hard and you put your heart and soul into your music and you made something really beautiful. It inspired me. I think the album cover should reflect that. Celebrate it. It’s something that should be celebrated.

Mariah: [ Sighs ]

Louise: Oh, hi.

Mariah: Hi, louise. Uh, I was just in the neighborhood and I wanted to stop by and see abby.

Louise: Oh, I’m sorry, abby and chance aren’t home right now.

Mariah: Oh. Yeah, I probably should have called before I just came by. What about dominic? Is he here? I haven’t seen him in a while.

Louise: He’s out with his parents.

Mariah: Yeah, yeah, of course. Uh…

Louise: I will let them know that you dropped by.

Mariah: No, no, it’s fine, it’s fine. It’s not a big deal. I’ll just catch up with them later. Thanks.

Louise: Yeah. Have a good day.

Mariah: Yeah, you too.

Sally: Adam is not using me. He doesn’t even know that I’m the one that’s been following billy. I’ve been sending him videos and photos anonymously.

Chloe: And you don’t think that he knows that you’re the one who’s behind all of this?

Sally: It was my idea.

Chloe: Are you sure about that? Are you sure you didn’t have any discussion with adam about the threat that billy poses? Or about maybe spying on him? You know what adam is capable of and how manipulative he can be. But you think that you’re special. You think that you can get close with him without getting burned, that you’re different.

Sally: I know what I’m doing.

Chloe: You’re trying to impress him. Show him how far you can go. And you are just playing right into his hands, and all this talk about him wanting to be a better man and better father, blah, blah, blah.

Sally: He is.

Chloe: Look at what he just did to billy. Adam and victor, they took away his job, and that wasn’t enough. He has to knock him while he’s down.

Sally: Billy brought this whole thing on himself by publishing that story about locke. It’s because of him that chanccomm nearly got sued out of existence. That is why billy had to walk away. But he doesn’t want to take responsibility for that, so he’s blaming adam. And now billy is spiraling out of control, he’s plotting some sort of revenge, and he’s targeting adam and us. The threat is real.

Chloe: You are right in the middle of something potentially dangerous, and adam is egging you on.

Sally: He tried to talk me out of it.

Chloe: Well, apparently not hard enough. This is what I have been warning you about time and time again. People get close and they get pulled in to adam’s orbit, and they end up getting hurt. Badly.

Sally: You mean chelsea. That’s what this whole thing is really about, why you’re so upset.

Chloe: I could be talking about a number of people. And what happened to chelsea should serve as a lesson and a warning, and by the way, she’s back in genoa city. So you have to make the decision — are you done playing these games with adam or are you gonna be part of our team?

Adam: If you want to know how chloe’s doing, ask her. I gave her total autonomy over the division. But I have no complaints.

Chelsea: I mean, you haven’t been completely hands off. You flew sally to tuscany for victoria’s wedding.

Adam: Because she made that dress on spec with newman media money. I was already going there, so i just gave her a lift. And it turned out to be a good thing because it gave a real boost to the platform.

Chelsea: That’s great.

Adam: Chloe and sally make a pretty good team. I know that chloe has her heart set on you joining them.

Chelsea: I need to discuss the details with her, and I have to meet sally in person.

Adam: Why, are you afraid you’re not gonna get along?

Chelsea: It’s a possibility. We may have different sensibilities. We may work differently. Those little details can be deal-breakers.

Adam: Okay, just take things one step at a time. There’s no rush, no pressure.

Chelsea: Thank you.

Adam: Just focus on what’s important.

Chelsea: Connor.

Adam: Exactly. Well, I’m gonna go say goodbye to him, and then I should get back to work.

Chelsea: Sure.

[ Sighs ]

Trelegy for copd.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Adam: Yeah, don’t bother knocking. Just come on in.

Chloe: I decided we all need to meet.

Adam: Does this have anything to do with the fact that chelsea is back?

Chloe: Good guess. I’ve seen her, and I’ve shared the good news with sally. Chelsea looks fantastic. Mind-blowing.

Adam: Mm-hmm. She really does. It’s good to see her so happy again.

Chloe: She’s in a good place, so I want to get her up to speed and working here with us where she belongs.

Adam: Yeah, I know it’s always been your plan, your hope to have you and chelsea working together again.

Chloe: It’s the only reason why I accepted your job offer to run the fashion division in the first place. For her to have a safe place to land. This is something that you and i both wanted. Not only because it’s the right thing to do, which it is, but because she’s also a hell of a designer.

Adam: Yeah, just after speaking with her, I’m just not sure if she wants this as much as we want her to want it.

Chloe: What are you saying?

Adam: I’m saying if chelsea can’t commit to this, we have to be ready to move forward without her.

Moses: It’s been fun, but i have to get going before it gets too late.

Faith: Wait, where are you going?

Moses: Oh, just — just running a few errands.

Faith: I’ll come with you.

Moses: No, I — I don’t want to break up the party. You and noah are hanging out.

Faith: I can do that anytime.

Moses: No, it’s fine. I’ll be good on my own. I just have to get some christmas gifts.

Faith: I love buying gifts.

Noah: He’s shopping for you, genius.

Faith: Oops. Okay, yeah, I’ll sit this one out. But call me later.

Moses: Yeah, of course. Nice meeting you, man.

Noah: You too.

Faith: Good luck! Thank you.

Noah: For what?

Faith: For not taking moses aside and giving him some kind of big brother talk or staring him down or asking him a million embarrassing questions.

Noah: I was fighting my protective instincts. Come on, ease my mind. Tell me I have nothing to worry about.

Faith: He’s respectful. He’s kind. He’s smart. And if you really need to know, he is the easiest and happiest part of my day. And my days are already pretty good to begin with lately.

Noah: Well, I’m glad to hear it. And I promise I’ll try not to embarrass you too much.

Faith: That’s all that I’ll get from you.

Noah: I’m just a little gun-shy lately. Maybe I’m projecting. Why are you looking at me like that?

Faith: I’m wondering if I can ask you something. And before you answer, know that I promise I will not tell anyone what you say, so you can be honest with me.

Noah: Yeah, sure.

Faith: Do you still have feelings for tessa?

[ Door opens ]

Mariah: Hey.

Tessa: Hey. Hey, so the work you had didn’t take too long?

Mariah: Uh, I didn’t actually go to jabot.

Tessa: Ah.

Mariah: [ Sighs ] Yeah, I just, uh, had to get out of there.

Tessa: Because of everything faith said about us being parents?

Mariah: She was just joking around. And I can’t expect everybody to have baby-free conversations just because of me. You know, she doesn’t even know that we were talking about being parents.

Tessa: You know you can talk to me about anything, right? I’m not gonna be upset.

Mariah: I just can’t stop thinking about what it would be like if we were parents. How incredible we could be. Maybe it’s another refill at your favorite diner… understa but chelsea’s been dragging

Chloe: No question. Chelsea is definitely joining the fashion platform.

Adam: And I hope that that happens, for all our sakes. But chelsea’s been dragging her feet all this time and she hasn’t committed to this, so i just want you to be prepared if she doesn’t take the job.

Chloe: Chelsea is understandably cautious about leaping back into life in genoa city. She needs to have certain guarantees about the situation that she’s going to be walking into. No unwelcome surprises, and i think that’s a good thing and i imagine you would, too. That you want to have the best for her and set her up for success.

Adam: Of course, of course i do. I’m hoping that this will be a great thing for her.

Chloe: Well, I’m glad to hear you say that because chelsea just wants to know that she is coming to work in a positive and supportive environment and that people that are working here won’t be distracted by personal baggage and pointless vendettas.

Adam: Point taken.

Chloe: And chelsea wants to meet sally face-to-face soon.

Sally: Yeah, looking forward to it. I have no doubt that you, me, and chelsea will be a genius collaboration.

Chloe: Great. Well, then if we’re all on the same page, I’m gonna get back to work.

Adam: Mm. Sally, if you have a minute, something I’d like to go over with you.

Sally: I will catch up with you later. Why do I feel like I’m being called to the principal’s office? Am I in some kind of trouble?

Noah: Well, someone’s been reading too much young adult fiction. Everywhere you look, you’re trying to find a love story. Why would you think that I still have feelings for tessa?

Faith: Because I have eyes.

Noah: [ Scoffs ] Look, tessa and mariah are madly in love with each other, and she and I broke up a long time ago.

Faith: I know all of that, but I also know you, even though you’ve been overseas and you’re a wunderkind in the art world.

Noah: “Wunderkind”? That’s a big word for you.

Faith: I know more than you think. And I saw the way you were looking at tessa when you were talking.

Noah: Faith, you’re imagining things.

Faith: I caught a vibe.

Noah: Oh, yeah, and what vibe would that be?

Faith: Like you were thinking, “what if?” And this isn’t the first time that I’ve noticed it.

Noah: [ Sighs ] Nothing could be further from the truth.

Mariah: I stopped by abby’s to see the baby, but nobody was there. It was just the nanny.

Tessa: Okay.

Mariah: And I just felt so stupid. Standing there in the doorway like a stranger wanting to see somebody else’s baby.

Tessa: Well, you’re an integral part of that child’s life. You always will be.

Mariah: I know. And that’s everybody keeps saying to me. You know, “you’re always gonna have a special bond with him and the nickname you gave him will just be between the two of you.” But he’s not bowie. He’s dominic. He’s abby and chance’s son. Even though I carried him and i brought him into the world. And believe me, I — I never thought that I would be the type of person that was thinking about having kids or wanting kids. I mean, I didn’t think I had a maternal bone in my body. Sometimes I don’t even recognize who I am now. But if you told me right now that you were ready to start having a family, I mean, it would be like my birthday and christmas and every holiday and best day of my life rolled into one. But this is not who I was when we met at all.

Tessa: Well, there’s nothing wrong with that. We’ve both changed.

Mariah: I know, but you’re in a totally different place with this than I am, and I accept that. I — I really, really do. So let’s just talk about something else for once, please. Like, you know, what are we gonna get for dinner?

[ Laughs ]

Tessa: Mariah, that’s not fair. You can’t just say all of that and not give me a chance to respond.

Most of your immune system

lives right in your gut.

Faith: I may be young, but i have seen more breakups and divorces than I care to count.

Noah: That you have.

Faith: I know things.

Noah: Yeah, too many things. But I promise you, tessa and i are just friends.

Faith: Sometimes when people break up, they aren’t totally over each other.

Noah: There are no residual feelings between me and her. We get along, we’re both creatives. That’s why we can still work together.

Faith: So you don’t look like a lovesick puppy every time you see her?

Noah: No. No. Oh, no, that’s just my “recently heartbroken by a woman in london” look.

Faith: Hmm.

Noah: Yeah. Look, I’m glad tessa and I can still get along. It’s restored my faith in humanity.

Faith: Yeah, but —

Noah: But nothing. I’m not interested in tessa in the way that you mean. So find someone else to worry about, okay?

Faith: Yeah.

Noah: So, now that I know this is a meeting of the concerned siblings club, why don’t you tell me more about you and moses?

Faith: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, yeah, nice try.

Noah: Well, it was worth a shot.

Faith: [ Chuckles ]

Tessa: Thank you for being so honest. I don’t want you to feel like you have to hide anything from me — ever.

Mariah: But I’m going through something that you’re just not right now.

Tessa: But whatever you’re feeling, I feel it. We’re connected. If you hurt, I hurt. And I may not have gone through everything that you’ve gone through lately and I may not be, um…

Mariah: An unholy mess?

Tessa: But you’re my beautiful unholy mess. I may not be as certain about the idea of having a baby, and i may not be ready to commit to it quite yet, but I am willing to talk more about it.

Mariah: Really?

Tessa: Yeah.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ]

Chloe: Okay, so I know you just got home and here I am pounding on your door, but I’m only here because I need an answer from you and I need that answer to be yes. I’m not trying to put any undue pressure on you, but please, please, come work with me at newman fashion.

Chelsea: You’re impossible. I told you I need time to think about it.

Chloe: I’ve given you months. I’ve done all the heavy lifting. I got the fashion platform off the ground. I’ve been working with adam, for god’s sakes. This is what it was all about, so you and I could work with each other again. What else do you need to know? We can get started. Right this second.

Chelsea: I don’t want to disappoint you.

Chloe: Okay, then don’T.

Chelsea: But I don’t feel like that’s the best move for me.

Chloe: [ Scoffs ] I have been saving this spot for you by my side. Why don’t you want to do it?

Chelsea: Chloe, maybe being away gave me time to think — you know, time to think about what I did and what I had become. And now that I’m back, I’m starting to realize I’m disconnected to everyone and everything in this town except connor. So it’s forcing me to realize maybe I don’t belong in genoa city anymore.

Chloe: What?

Adam: No, you’re not in any kind of trouble. I, um, just had something that i wanted to run by you.

Sally: Well, I’m all ears.

Adam: I’ve been receiving mysterious texts and videos of billy in situations that don’t exactly paint him in the best light.

Sally: Do you know who sent them?

Adam: It’s from an anonymous source.

Sally: Fascinating.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: Someone like that, who’s willing to stick their neck and wants nothing in return sounds pretty special.

Adam: Well, the information has definitely piqued my interest.

Sally: Well, I’m sure your anonymous source would be glad to hear that.

Adam: Billy might be planning a counterattack against newman media, so it is good to have an arsenal at the ready.

Sally: Mm-hmm. Well, I brought up that very idea with you.

Adam: Which is why I can talk to you about this. Because I can’t exactly trust this anonymous source. Could be walking into a trap.

Sally: Well, anything’s possible, I suppose. But it does sound like they have your best interests at heart.

Adam: Well, it’s someone local, that’s clear. There’s just not many people that would go to that extremes to gather intel on billy and send it to me. Do you have any thoughts on who that might be?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Doorknob rattling ] The door won’t open. I think we’re stuck in here. It’s probably just jammed.

[ Sighs ]

[ Doorknob rattling ] It’s stuck. Way to mansplain, sherlock.

[ Clears throat ] It probably just needs some force. Excuse me, I am no weakling. It definitely feels like something’s blocking it. Okay, then, we will just have to keep pushing, then, won’t we? If my shoulder wasn’t bad… aw, geez.

[ Sighs ] Hi. Hi. I didn’t think you were working until this afternoon. I’m not. But I wanted to see you. Well, I wanted to see you, too. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about us. So have I. Maybe it’s time to stop dancing around and just… acknowledge it. Stella. How nice to see you. Stella? Oh. I’m so sorry, dr. Robinson. I was just thinking about something. Have a seat. Oh, well, portia, please. Well, whatever’s on your mind must have been pretty important. You have no idea. Curtis: Hup! Hup! Hup! Nice. Nice. Though, remember to keep that opposite hand up. Mm. That’s what I keep telling him. Honestly, harmony, I have no idea why you even want to be friends with me. All I do is dump my emotional baggage on you. Don’t you have something you want to complain about? Oh, really, don’t worry about me. There’s not much going on in my life, but I get the feeling that is not the case with you, so come on, dump away. I’m here to listen if you need me. Oh, hey, honey. Thank you so much for rescheduling our meeting. It is impossible to get a doctor’s appointment during the holidays, I swear. Thank god the pediatric neurologist was able to reschedule leo, fit him in before new year’S. So ned’s gonna take leo over to G.H., And I’m gonna meet them later. Are you okay? I’ll keep you posted. I’m, uh… I’m a little nervous. I’m going to the hospital to see sasha. We can go together. I would really appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. So, in the meantime, I need a distraction. What about you? How’s your life? What’s going on? I know that, uh, nina’s pretrial hearing is coming right up. I bet you cannot wait to see that woman go down for what she did to sonny.

[ Door closes ] Hey. N-need some help? I-I can do this. Thanks.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Sighs ] Are you ready… to go to the nicu so we, uh… so we can… can what? Say goodbye to our son? No, brando, no. I am sorry, but I just can’t do that. Not now. Not ever.

Good morning to you, too, detective chase. Okay, would you mind just turning around, please? Oh, please. Are we better off now that I’ve seen…everything? You’re the one who told the entire world that we had a one-nighter. Okay, but I don’t think anyone’s going to quiz you on it.

[ Chuckles ] You’ve never been to a bottomless brunch with olivia. Hey, would you please just use your phone, call somebody to get us out of here? So, my phone is in my purse. My purse is outside.

[ Sighs ] Elizabeth: So… uh-huh. …About that kiss in your office… uh-huh. I was so surprised, I, um… I didn’t have the time to find my words. Well, I did kind of run out of there like my hair was on fire. That, too.

[ Chuckles ] I just — I figured you wanted your space. Instead of thinking I knew what you wanted, I should’ve just asked. So, what do you want, elizabeth? Olivia… I can’t see that woman without wanting to throttle her. I’m losing my mind. I’m having dreams about pummeling nina over and over again. Well… sometimes dreams really do come true.

[ Laughs ] Gladys: Sonny. Thank you for coming. Yeah.

[ Sighs ] Oh, hello. Hi. Has there been any word about the baby? There has, though I’m not sure why you’re entitled to it after everything you’ve done. Gladys, nina’s here for sasha. We don’t need to hash all this out right — right now. Yeah. Okay? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I suppose — I suppose that’s right. Did brando talk to you about the baby’s condition? Uh… he said something about the baby… being without oxygen for so long. And that… because of that, my grandbaby… it’s all right. Come here. …He’S…

[ Sobs ] It’s all right. Sasha, I know how you feel. I do. I-I-I don’t want to say goodbye to liam, either. Then don’T. Don’T. As long as he is still breathing, okay, even with those machines, he is still with us. Our son is alive. Mnh. But, um… is he really, though? I-I’m not sure if what liam’s life would be is truly living. His heart is beating. Okay? That means that he is alive. Sasha, we — no, no.

[ Stammers ] Maybe it’s different for you. You know, you’ve got plenty of family and it’s growing by the day. B-but liam, he is my only flesh and blood. He is my baby. He’s my baby, too. And I’m only thinking about liam. Sash, we both want him here with us, okay? We want to love him and to hold him tight, but we have to think about what’s best for our son. Alright? And we — no. And what kind of life can he have if he’s on a ventilator? You know? Sasha? What are you doing

here? There’s no need for a showdown. I’ll go. Wait, uncle, I invited him here. I asked marshall to leave my family alone. Isn’t that tj’s choice? I’m his grandfather, and he wants to get to know me. I’m just trying to make up for lost time, curtis. You can’t reclaim lost time. By definition, it’s over. It’s gone. Now, you can make yourself useful by being straight with me for a change. How about that? Why don’t you tell us why you let us believe that you were dead? And where the hell have you been for the last 40 years?

Hello?! We are stuck in the steam room! Hello! It’s no use. Now, I can’t believe you left your phone outside. Yeah, I’m not exactly thrilled myself, even with your little striptease earlier. Okay, I am dressed appropriately for a men’s steam room. You’re the one who barged in fully clothed. You know, a steam room is a lot more tolerable if you weren’t fully clothed. Are you suggesting I strip down? We’d be on an even playing field. You’d like that, wouldn’t you? And speaking of being on an even playing field, you blew this whole thing up. I was handling my business. I was keeping bailey safe before you involved whatever kinky fantasy you have about me. Oh, my gosh! You know, it’s like whiplash talking to you. I mean, one second, you are grateful that I’m keeping your secret from valentin. And the next, you’re dragging me for doing it. The only thing being dragged is my name through the mud. Who cares? Brook lynn, who cares? You needed someone to help you, so I did. Why does it matter what people think about how things went down between us? Because this lie gives everyone permission to believe every horrible thing they’ve ever thought about me is true. Here’s the thing. Everyone wanted me to plead out, but I insisted on taking my lumps and doing penance. Then I was given a shortcut, and I took it. Everyone thinks that I should be grateful. But the truth is — you’re not. And you can’T. Because you feel like redemption was unearned.

[ Sighs ] How are you doing? I think I’m doing fine. Some things are still fuzzy, but I-I have been practicing self-care, and trying my best to stay calm. Good, good. Curtis didn’t even tell me that you were in town. Oh, I’m not surprised. He’s got so much on his plate these days. And not just the savoy. Oh. You know that marshall is alive and in town. Okay, let’s just go somewhere where we can talk things out. T, I’m done talking. It’s his turn to start talking now. What can I say that can justify my walking away from my family? You already said there’s no way I can bring back lost time. I know you want answers, curtis, but there’s no excuse — no excuse for me not being there while you were growing up. Well, at least we agree on something. Great. Then let’s start there. We agree. The past can never be made right. But we can focus on rebuilding a future together instead, can’t we? Gladys: Brando.

[ Sighs ] We still need to decide what’s best for liam. I was trying to talk to her, and sasha just walked out. She’s probably at the nicu. I wasn’t sure if I should go after her. I mean, I know she needs time, but I don’t think she should be alone. Hey, you know, you should just stay with your mom, and I’ll go. I’ll go keep an eye on her. I don’t want to upset her. You sure you don’t mind? Yeah, yeah. She shouldn’t be alone. Alright? Thank you. Oh, honey. I just don’t know, mom. Sasha isn’t sure what to do with liam, either, and I’M… I thought that I knew, but now I just, like… I’m — I’m questioning what the right thing to do is, myself, you know? Oh. Sasha: You know me. Don’t you, liam? You know my scent. You know my touch. I cradled you nearly the entire time you were in my belly.

[ Chuckles ] Like this.

[ Crying ] I know that you could feel me then. And I believe that you can feel me now, too.

[ Sniffles ] You have to know that your mommy is here with you. In your [Sniffles] Tiny, little heart… you have to know that you are not alone in the world, liam. Mommy’s here.

[ Sniffling ] Sasha. I was wondering if you want some company. Well, that depends. Are you here to tell me that I’m being selfish for not wanting to let my baby die? No, I would — I would never say that. I know how difficult it is to lose someone, someone you love.

You want me to get lost. I just thought maybe you’d want someone to be with you. He really is beautiful. I really hope that he knows I’m here. Yeah, I’m sure he does. Love’s powerful. I saw that my last days of my dad’s life. I see. My dad didn’t go through what liam’s going through. As a matter of fact, I just want to say that naming him liam mike was great. My father would love that. It’s become a real family name, hasn’t it?

[ Chuckling ] You know, I had a complicated relationship with my father. But I was very grateful that, the last couple years, that we reconnected. We had a great time, and it meant the world to us. But the illness was gonna prevail. In the end… he accepted it… …before, uh — before I did. Before I could. Um… at least you had that time with him. Yeah. My baby hasn’t even opened his eyes and looked at me. He hasn’t seen me smile at him… or felt me hold him in my arms.

[ Sighs ] I just pray that he recognizes my voice when I tell him that I’m here and that I love him. I don’t want to accept this. It’s not fair. Other people get — get miracles. Why can’t he get one? You know, I-I felt the same way about my dad. I wanted, you know, any way out, a miracle or a cure.

[ Sighs deeply ] And when I, uh — I knew that there wasn’t gonna be one, I had to make the decision. Put him on a feeding tube, or, you know — on a feeding tube or let him go. And it — it was the decision that I just… I couldn’t make, I could not bring myself to do because I had just gotten back together with him, and I felt — felt like I was giving up on him. How did you decide? You know, I, uh… I asked myself a question. Is prolonging my dad’s life the best thing for him… …or am I just afraid to have to deal with the pain?

[ Sobs ] I understand sasha’s in pain, but you are, too. She shouldn’t attack you. Sasha wasn’t attacking me, ma. Um, dr. Fleming is looking for you. If you’ve decided to keep the baby on a ventilator, we need to find an appropriate facility. Sasha needs to be in on this. Mom. Mom, wait. Hey, mom, give her a minute, please. Hey, brando, brando. Wait. Just let her go. Let her go. Your — your mom’s hurting, too. This is the way she’s coping. Come on. Let’s have a seat. Come on. Let’s sit down. It’s okay. You know, sonny’s with sasha, so he’s not gonna let gladys upset her. It’s okay. Just, sasha thinks it’s easier for me to let go because I have family and she doesn’T. Maybe she’s right not to give up hope. I mean, look at you. You were in long-term care, and you’re thriving now. Maybe — maybe my son, maybe liam, he can — he could have a life after all, like you. You know, it’s a lovely dream, but it’s one I’m gonna have to let go of because I’m trying to honor sonny’s wishes and not escalate things. I’m just hoping that the court will deal with nina.

[ Laughs ] What?

[ Snorts ] Uh… nothing. It’s just that it’s not in your nature.

[ Sighs ] Compartmentalizing it? That’s in sonny’s nature. That’s why the man can go to mass every sunday and still do whatever it is that he does for a living. But — but — but for better or for worse, that’s not you. You take action. You say what’s on your mind. You don’t bottle things up. This morning I told you if we got married,

I don’t think either one of us is expecting a lifetime commitment right now. But I’m not looking for something frivolous, either. I don’t want that. And I have violet to think about. She’s already over the moon about the two of us, and I have to very carefully manage her expectations going forward. Yeah, well, she’s not the only one confused. I haven’t even taken off my wedding ring. You’re right. It’s too soon. Forgive me if I…pressured you. You know, if you’re not ready, that’s okay. That’s good. Um… things don’t have to change between us. But I want to be ready. Because I’ve grown to care a lot about you. You had the right idea before. You should leave. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Uncle. Hey, come on. It’s fine. It’s fine, tj. Thank you for the invitation. I’ll see you guys around. You know that wasn’t your place, right? I know you might not want to know the guy, but i do. Tj, I’ve been in this game a lot longer than you, okay? So I need you to hear me. I need you to stay away from marshall. Just keep your distance until I check him out. If I find out that he’s all good and he’s no danger, then I’ll stay out of your way, okay? Alright. But what if you find out something, I don’t know, troubling? Then I’ll be damned if I let him hurt my family again. I stopped by the club last night to see curtis. And who should show up but marshall.

[ Sighs ] Are you okay? Seeing marshall alive must have brought up some painful memories for you. Yes, it does. But, look, I-I don’t want to keep you. You’re not. You’re not keeping me. I had a breakfast consult. It’s all over now. I can stay longer if — if you would like to talk. No, no. I know you’re needed at the hospital…

[ Chuckles ] …And I’m truly fine. You can go ahead. I’ll — I’ll see you soon. Okay. Alright. You take care. You, too. -I know you know. -Mm-hmm. Yeah, I do. I took a — I took a deal, too, remember? I told myself it was for the right reasons, that it was to look out for wiley and willow, but it was just an excuse. And even now, I feel like my purification cycle is incomplete. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And everyone thinks we’re nuts. Well, I don’T.

[ Both chuckle ] Alright, I’m gonna take my nutty self home and make some lunch. If you’d like to join me, I have an enclosed porch that I have to sit on because the rest of my house is commandeered by molly and tj in the living room and kristina in the other.

[ Sighs ] I forgot she was one of your dod victims. And the reason that I was in prison in the first place. Yeah. I thought I-I was motivated by love. I was so wrapped up in my own pain that I forgot that my dad had pain. He wanted to go, and he hung on for me. And it was up to me to give him the permission to go because I-I loved him too much… to leave him that way. So you let love decide. Well, I can’t tell you what to do. I made peace with that decision a long time ago, and I believe it’s the right one, but I’m not 100% sure. Not in this life, at least. Sasha? Dr. Fleming is looking for you and brando.

[ Sighs ] She wants us to make a decision, doesn’t she? Arrangements need to be made if you’re sending liam to a facility or… whatever you and brando decide, we got you.

I need to find brando. Thank you. You’re wrong, you know. Yeah. About what? I know you made the right decision about mike. You did right by him, sonny. Never forget that. Thank you. Now, would it kill you to give me some privacy?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. I will take your word for it. If you think that you can keep bottling all these feelings up, then more power to you. But just know that trying to push all these feelings down is liable to make someone crack. I can bide my time until nina’s brought to justice, as long as she stays away from my family. What you and sasha are facing is unimaginable. And of course you’re looking for anything and everything to bring you a little bit of hope. Brando, I’m sorry. I’m not it. My situation was different than what your little liam is facing. I was able to breathe on my own. It’s a lot different than having a machine breathe for you. I don’t think the doctors would mislead you on liam’s condition and prognosis. They want to give you a happy ending just as much as you want to hear one. And if they could have found a way to give that to you… I wish they could. Yeah, me, too. Now is the time for you and sasha to come together. You have a big decision ahead of you. So, you know what I want you to do? I want you to scream, and I want you to cry. Maybe even pray. But you make that decision together. And whatever decision you make, we will all be there for you every step of the way. Thank you. The way I feel about you scares me. What if things don’t work out? I’m terrified of losing you. I ain’t going anywhere. You’re not getting rid of me that easy.

[ Chuckles ] In case it wasn’t clear, I feel the same way. I really care about you. And no matter how this winds up, my world is so much better for having you in it. Mine too. Here I am trying to protect my family’s legacy, and all I’m getting is shame and grief. And it’s so much more than that now. I just — I have to protect bailey. Nothing is more important than that, so I will just keep on taking the insults and bearing them. That’s it.

[ Sighs ] Hey. For what it’s worth, I recognize your sacrifice. Doing the right thing when it costs you, it’s a very brave thing. Brave? Yeah, brave. Look, the only reason that I stepped up when I figured it out is because I saw what you were about. I believed in you. And I see you… brook lynn. Yeah. You do, don’t you?

[ Doorknob rattles ] You were both trapped in here? The manager said nobody was in here, so I pressed my floor buffer against the wall, and I — well, you should be more careful next time. I should warn you, the, uh, hot water’s out. Hope you don’t mind cold showers. Not a problem. So, what happens next?

[ Pager beeping ] Excuse me. I have an emergency. I’m needed upstairs. I’m not gonna press the issue until you’re ready. But if and when you are, if you want to see where this could go… so do I. I may have gotten a little ahead of myself, harmony. It would be inappropriate for me to invite you to my home. Yeah. Alexis, honestly, you don’t — you don’t need to explain. It’s fine. Maybe some friendships, uh, in prison are just meant to stay there. I’m really sorry. Me, too. So have a good life and, uh… just take care of yourself.

[ Sighs ]

[ Elevator bell dings ] Hi. Hi. What are you doing here? Well, you know, I just dropped off tj. I thought I’d come and see you. Oh. Well, I’m glad you did. I saw stella today at the metro court, and we talked about marshall. You did? She made it out like she was okay, but I got the feeling she was a bit shaken up about everything. Yeah, I ran into marshall today with tj. Any luck getting any answers out of him? No. But he was right about one thing. There’s nothing he’d say that could ever excuse him letting us believe that he was dead this whole time. I got your message. Yeah, it’s just the two of us now. So let’s put all the cards on the table, shall we? Did you find sasha? Uh, yeah, she’s in her room. She’s looking for you. Thank you. And thank you, too, nina. How’s sasha? Uh, as well as to be expected. How are you? Well, this just hits home. Because it just reminds me of when I said goodbye to my father, mike. I don’t know if I told you, but before I ended up in nixon falls, I was dying in the woods. And I saw my father. He saved my life. He probably knew that you’d have to be here for your family right now. Or maybe it wasn’t a coincidence that I ended up in nixon falls… and my name was mike and I was a lot like him. My dad. Brando: Sasha?

[ Sasha cries softly ] Hi. Hi.

[ Door closes ] Um… I’ve been doing some thinking. So have I.

[ Sobbing ] When we went back home to port charles and you said that the man you were in nixon falls wasn’t real, he was. He is. They’re one and the same. Both mike and sonny… are men that your dad would be very, very proud of.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Days of Our Lives logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Eli: Okay, thanks. Keep me posted.

Lani: Any news?

Eli: The divers have been searching the river all day. Still no sign of philip.

Lani: Other than his prosthetic leg.

Eli: Right.

Lani: How can this be happening, philip possibly dead, brady possibly responsible?

Melinda: Detectives, nice to see you have time to sit and chat.

Eli: [Sighs] I just spoke with the dive team. No further evidence of philip at the site.

Melinda: While they do their job, I suggest you that you do yours.

Lani: Meaning?

Melinda: Arrest brady black.

Both: No.

Chloe: No, philip has not been found yet. And no, there’s no updates after they discovered his leg in the water. I know, it’s–mom, it’s just–it’s really hard not to assume the worst about brady, but– you’re right. You’re right. We don’t–we don’t know anything for sure. Okay, but– all right, of course, I will–I’ll keep you posted, but I really should get back to work, all right? I love you. Tell parker I love him. Tell dad I love him. Okay, I’ll talk to you soon. Bye.

[Dramatic music]

Roman: Are you sure you don’t want a sandwich with that coffee?

Kate: No, no, I’m not hungry.

Rex: Mom, come on, you haven’t eaten all day.

Kate: Look, I’m gonna be fine. I’m gonna be fine once they find philip and I know he’s okay.

Rex: And I’m sure that we’re going to know that soon. But in the meantime, I’m here, dad’s here, and we’re going to get through this together.

Kate: I know. I know.

[Sighs] Rex, I can’t tell you how much it means to me to have you in salem.

Gwen: [Sighs] God, of all the stupid luck, rex brady back in town.

[Sighs] Come on, xander, how long does it take you to go get a newspaper? And why can’t you read it on a tablet like everyone else?

[Sighs] The last thing I need is you running into rex and finding out that sarah’s not with him. Please tell me you didn’t get a craving for the brady pub chowder. Oh, my god. Is that…rex? Bloody hell, how’s he right downstairs?

Xander: Who?

Gwen: What?

Xander: How is who right downstairs?

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

[Soft orchestration]

[Somber music]

Maggie: Darling, hi. Cook is making you a rib eye steak for dinner, potatoes au gratin, a caesar salad to start, and chocolate mousse to finish. All of your favorites.

I know how hard this is for you, victor.

Victor: I can’t lose him, maggie. Dear god, if I do…

Maggie: Shh. Don’t think that way. We have to have hope. I know I do.

Victor: So do I. But he can’t be dead. He can’t be. I have to see him again. I have to tell him how sorry I am for the way I treated him.

Kate: [Sighs] That son of a bitch. I swear I could kill him. I swear I could.

Rex: Mom, if you’re talking about brady–

Kate: Well, who the hell else would I be talking about, you know? Plus, I told him to his face–i told him that if philip is dead, he’s dead too.

Roman: All right, whoa. You threatened brady? When?

Kate: This morning.

Roman: [Scoffs] You said you wanted to be alone.

Kate: Yes, well, I lied, and I snuck off to the hospital, and I confronted that bastard.

Rex: Mom, I-I know you’re upset, and that’s understandable, but there is no proof that brady did anything to philip.

Kate: Okay, there’s proof enough for me, okay? There’s proof enough to me, so don’t give me that condescending look, please. Please, don’t do that. And please, don’t tell me to calm down as well.

Rex: I didn’t tell you to calm down.

Kate: Okay, ’cause if I want to be crazy with worry, I’m gonna be crazy with worry. And if I’m going to be frightened and panicked, that’s what I’m gonna be. And don’t try to placate me!

Rex: Okay, okay, fine. I won’t do that, and I’m sorry.

Kate: [Sighs] No, I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

[Sighs] It’s just that philip has always been so hard on himself, and victor has always made him seem like he’s a huge disappointment, and I have been complicit in all of that.

Rex: No, no, no, no, no. Mom, no–

Kate: Yes, I have, rex. I have. I have. I’ve been critical of him. And now all I can hope is that he knows how much I love him, he knows that I love him for his strength and for his resilience and–[Sighs] And the fact that I just melt– I melt when he smiles.

Roman: Hey, of course he knows that.

Kate: [Sighs] And of course he’s gonna come back to us, right? They’re gonna find him, and he’s gonna be safe and sound, and then we can all see that beautiful smile again, right?

Xander: Gwen, how can who be right downstairs?

Gwen: The–the guy, the guy at the, um– at the coffee cart down there. Yeah, the man, he wolf whistles at me. I mean, last week, he even said to me that I have a nice ass.

Xander: What? Well, he’s not wrong, but the nerve. I’m gonna sort him out right now.

Gwen: No, no, no, xander, don’t do that.

Xander: Why not?

Gwen: Because what if he– what if he phones the police? You can’t get into trouble with the law again.

Xander: I’m not gonna beat him to death. I’m just gonna make sure he understands that he can’t wolf-whistle my girl or make comments about her beautiful body.

Gwen: Oh. No, no, just–just–just forget it, yeah, please?

Xander: You’re really upset about this.

Gwen: Yeah, well, you know, we finally have a chance for things to be really good between us, and…I really don’t want to mess it up. I–[Sighs] I don’t want anyone to take you away from me.

Xander: No one is taking me anywhere, love. I’m exactly where I want to be.

[Dramatic music]

Gwen: Okay, so you’ll leave it alone, then, yeah?

Xander: I will. But I am a bit peckish. What do you say we head out and get a bite to eat? It’s my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on

Chloe: Brady, hey.

Brady: Hey.

Chloe: Aren’t you supposed to be in the hospital?

Brady: I was discharged an hour ago.

Chloe: And you decided to come to work?

Brady: Well, I figured I-I had to. It’s the only way that I could–I could see you. You’re not taking my calls, chloe.

Chloe: I’m sorry I ignored your call. I was just–I went down to the police station, and I ran into kate, who totally went off on me and said that whatever’s happened to philip is my fault because I pitted you two against each other.

Brady: Okay, okay, that’s not true, obviously. Kate is angry. She’s upset. I mean, who can blame her, right?

Chloe: How are you doing with all this?

Brady: [Sighs] Well, chloe, I-I have to make a confession to you. That’s why I needed to talk to you.

Chloe: Brady?

Brady: No, no, no, not that. Not that.

Chloe: Oh, thank god. Then what?

Brady: It has to do with something belle found out this morning about my credit card. Apparently, the night that you found me, I had bought six shots of whiskey.

Melinda: “No”? Are you refusing a direct order, detectives?

Eli: Technically, we report to rafe.

Lani: And with no proof that philip kiriakis is dead, we have no probable cause to arrest brady.

Melinda: We all know it’s just a matter of time before the dive team finds philip’s body. And since mr. Black was just released from the hospital, we need to make our move before he tries to flee the jurisdiction.

Eli: Which we can’t do without hard evidence.

Melinda: We have an artificial limb that was dredged up from the river, among other things.

Lani: That doesn’t mean philip was murdered.

Melinda: I should have known the two of you wouldn’t cooperate. But, then, you are kristen dimera’s bff, so why am I surprised?

Eli: You know, lani’s just following protocol, okay?

Melinda: Yeah, you weren’t too concerned with protocol when you tried to help her escape last year, were you? I don’t know, maybe you had something to do with her van detouring on the way to statesville the other day. So don’t preach to me about protocol.

Eli: We’re just going by the book.

Melinda: Then do something useful. Check in with the divers and see if they’ve found any new evidence.

Eli: I just told you that I spoke to the divers–

Melinda: Then speak to them again! Or are you no longer in the business of solving cases?

[Tense music]

[Scoffs] God.

Kate: To tell you the truth, I just don’t understand why they don’t charge brady with suspicion of murder.

Roman: Doesn’t work that way, kate. You know that.

Kate: [Sighs]

[Cell phone rings] Hello.

Melinda: Ms. Dimera, it’s da trask.

Kate: Yes, da trask. Is this about philip?

Melinda: I’m afraid I don’t have anything new to report, but I do have something I want to discuss with you. Do you have time to stop by the station again?

Kate: Yes, yes, of course I do. I’ll come by now.

Melinda: Good. I’ll see you soon.

Kate: Yeah, see you soon.

Rex: Well, does she have news about philip?

Kate: No, no, but she wants to talk to me about the case, so I’m going to go down to the station now.

Rex: Okay, well, we can take you.

Kate: No, no, I’ll be fine. I can go alone.

Roman: Okay. You will call if you need us?

Kate: Of course I will.

Roman: All right.

[Soft holiday music playing]

Kate: Okay.

Rex: Okay.

Victor: I’m done sitting around.

Maggie: Well, who are you calling?

Victor: Rafe hernandez. I figure if I can light a fire under his ass, maybe we’ll get some answers.

Maggie: [Laughs]

[Cell phone ringing]

Victor: Oh, speak of the devil.

Maggie: Is it rafe?

Victor: No, better. Melinda trask.

Maggie: Oh.

Victor: Da trask, I hope you have some good news for me.

Melinda: I’m afraid I don’t have any news. But if you have time to come by the station, I think I can make some progress on the case.

Victor: I’ll be right there.

Maggie: You’ll be where?

Victor: She wants me to come down to the station.

Maggie: Well, does she have any news about philip?

Victor: No, but she said she has a plan, and that could be a start.

Maggie: Well, I’ll go get my purse.

Victor: Maggie, if you don’t mind, I’d like to handle this alone.

Maggie: You don’t want me to go with you?

Victor: Well… I’d like for you to go to st. Luke’s and say a prayer for philip. I have a feeling that he’d listen to you rather than me.

Maggie: I can do that. I can do that, darling.

Gwen: You want–you want to go out? It’s a bit early for dinner, isn’t it?

Xander: Man cannot live by granola bars alone.

Gwen: Why don’t we order room service? You love that delicious fried chicken in here, don’t you?

Xander: Let me see. We’ve been holed up in this room all day.

Gwen: You were just out.

Xander: And I’d like to go out again, please.

Gwen: Why don’t we binge-watch “black mirror”?

Xander: Oh, again? No, thanks.

Gwen: Well, then we can catch a game, then.

Xander: A game of what?

Gwen: Don’t know. Whatever’s on?

[Stomach growls]

Xander: Do you hear that? That’s my stomach. Come on, let’s take my new credit card for a spin.

Gwen: Oh, I’m not hungry, so…

Xander: Maybe you will be after the walk. Come on, a change of scenery will do us good. And I know exactly what I want. Fish and chips at the pub. What’s this?

Gwen: Change of scenery. Will this do?

Xander: This certainly is a good start.

[Dramatic music]

I thought I was managing my moderate

[Both breathing heavily]

Xander: Ah.

[Both laugh] That definitely took my mind off my appetite.

Gwen: Oh, wow, what a romantic thing to say.

Xander: Let me try this, then. You are beautiful and wonderful, and I can’t get enough of you.

Gwen: Oh. Where are you going?

Xander: To shower. Join me?

Gwen: In a minute.

Xander: I’ll be waiting. Oh, and don’t worry. You have given me reason to never want to leave this room again.

[Shower running]

[Tense music]

Gwen: Come on, rex, just choke down the bloody coffee and get out of there. You can’t stay in this town forever. Or can you? It’s not like I can keep xander locked away in this tiny room forever either or away from the pub’s blasted fish and chips. And then he might run into you, rex, and then what? Find out that sarah didn’t really run away with you. And then it’ll just be a hop, skip, and a jump away before xander learns that sarah’s stranded on a deserted island, and he’ll go sail the seven seas to go and find her. I won’t let that happen. I won’t lose you. I can’T. So I’ll just have to find a way to make sure that xander never finds out the truth.

Rex: I did not want to say this in front of mom, but…after finding philip’s prosthetic leg and all that blood all over brady, I just– it doesn’t look good, does it?

Roman: I have another theory.

Rex: Let’s hear it.

Roman: Philip has always been one to go his own way. So whatever may or may not have happened between him and chloe and brady, he’s also dealing with victor firing him from titan and not for the first time. So I’M… I’m thinking that had to be a huge blow. So maybe philip figured a way to disappear for a while, buy some time, clear his head, figure things out.

Rex: Or he fell into the river after brady attacked him, and he got swept away by the current.

Roman: That is certainly a possibility, but… I’m not going there yet.

Rex: I admire your faith, dad; I wish I had it. But look, I… I just think it’s doubtful that philip is going to be found alive again.

Chloe: So the night that philip disappeared, you drank six shots?

Brady: Oh, no, no, I bought them. I bought them. Belle checked my credit card receipt, and it was there in black and white. Chloe, I don’t remember buying them. I sure as hell don’t remember drinking them. That–and look, I know that doesn’t mean I didn’t do it. And I know you have your doubts about my behavior–

Chloe: Brady.

Brady: No, hey, hey, I understand. You have seen me at my worst. You were there. That is why I don’t want to hide one single damn thing from you. And that’s why I have something else I got to tell you, chloe.

[Dramatic music]

Kate: Victor.

Victor: You got a call from trask too?

Kate: So did she tell you what’s going on?

Victor: No, just that it has something to do with philip’s case.

Melinda: Good. I’m glad you’re both here.

Kate: [Sighs] Did you find philip’s body?

Melinda: As I mentioned on the phone, we’ve no new evidence since the divers recovered your son’s prosthesis. And though I’m obviously not able to arrest someone for murder based solely on an artificial limb, if I have proof of death, the man responsible could be cuffed within the hour. Which is why I need you both to sign this.

To be a thriver with metastatic breast cancer

[Soft music]

Xander: I was starting to prune waiting for you to join me.

Gwen: Mm, sorry. I got distracted.

Xander: By what?

Gwen: Okay.

[Sighs] What do you say about us getting out of salem for a bit?

Xander: Well, you know I’d love to whisk you away to the tropical paradise of our dreams, but we do still have that pesky lack-of-funds problem.

Gwen: Solved.

Xander: What, you found us a big bag of cash?

Gwen: I found us a free place to stay.

Xander: Tell me more.

Gwen: Okay. A return to the mother country.

Xander: What, britain?

Gwen: London. Okay, I have a friend there, yeah, and she’s got this amazing, huge, lovely flat with a lovely guest room, and she said that I’m welcome to come there anytime. And I have a load of miles that are about to expire, so I can get us two round-trip tickets to heathrow.

Xander: Yeah, I mean, that definitely solves the limited-funds issue. But do you really want to go to london right now? I mean, it’s not exactly balmy this time of year, is it?

Gwen: Well, it’s certainly warmer than the midwest.

Xander: Where isn’t?

Gwen: Oh, come on, xander. Come on, the city, london, is so lovely this time of year. It’s magical with borough market and the shops and the decorations and the eating hall at selfridges.

Xander: Now I’m hungry again.

Gwen: We can maybe go to a showing of “a christmas carol” at the old vic, and then we can watch fireworks together on the thames on new year’s eve?

Xander: I don’t know. We’re getting pretty good at making our own fireworks right here.

Gwen: Well, we can make our own fireworks in london, yeah? Variety being the spice of life. Come on.

Xander: Well, when you put it that way, how can I possibly say no?

Gwen: You can’T.

Victor: What the hell is this?

Melinda: As philip’s next of kin, you have the right to have him declared legally dead.

Kate: But you just said that you haven’t found his body.

Melinda: That is true. And while I know that you both have every hope that philip will be found alive, the truth is, with every minute that passes, that hope diminishes, and unfortunately, the case grows colder, and the murderer could get away. But by declaring philip dead, no matter how painful that may be, you give me the power to prosecute the man responsible.

Victor: And you believe that person to be brady?

Melinda: Every bit of evidence points to him. We have his threatening text messages on philip’s phone. He was found by the river soaked in philip’s blood next to a knife with his prints on it. And now, in that same river, philip’s prosthesis was found. If I were a betting woman, this would be an easy gamble. But like I said, without a body, it’s not enough to make an arrest. Which is why I urge you to sign that document. As soon as you declare philip dead, I can arrest the man who killed him, and you can have the justice that you deserve.

[Dramatic music]

Brady: Sit. About a week ago, I went– I went into a bar.

Chloe: You went to a bar?

Brady: I–yeah, I even ordered a drink. But I stared at it, chloe. I just looked at it. I even called maggie up to come join me to make sure I didn’t down it. She came, like she always does– bless her heart–to support me. And she thought we should go to a meeting; I agreed. And that’s when I found out that my dad was in the hospital.

Chloe: Why? I mean, what made you so upset that you felt like you needed a drink?

Brady: You.

Chloe: Me?

Brady: Yeah. You, all these feelings that I have for you that I haven’t been able to act on because you’ve been with philip. I even told maggie, out of my frustration, that I would love if philip was out of the way.

Chloe: You–you didn’t–

Brady: I didn’t–i didn’t mean it like that. I mean, I think I didn’t mean it like–like that. I’m beginning to wonder, chloe. I could never imagine taking someone’s life. I wouldn’t do anything like– I wouldn’t do that. But now I’m–I don’t know. Did I see you and go off the deep end and walk into the pub and order those shots and go down to the river? I don’t even know what I did anymore.

Chloe: Brady, don’t–

Brady: I’m–

Chloe: Don’t torture yourself over something you can’t even remember.

Brady: [Sighs] I think there’s a way I can remember, though.

Chloe: What do you mean?

Brady: I need to go back down to the river.

[ Echoing ]

Some of us were born for this.

Chloe: You want to go back to the river?

Brady: Yeah.

Chloe: We discussed this. It’s a terrible idea. And belle agrees with that. There’s gonna be cops there with a dive team. What are they gonna think?

Brady: I don’t care. I don’t care what they think. A man’s missing. He could be–he could be dead, chloe, I don’t–and maybe I had something to do with it. The only way I’m gonna find out is to get my memory back. It’s the only way I’m gonna get answers about this. And that means I got to go back down to that damn river and hope to god that something makes me remember what happened that night. I’m going.

Chloe: Okay, well, you’re not going alone.

Brady: I don’t want you in the middle of this.

Chloe: I already am. I’m going too.

Brady: Even if you think I might be guilty in this?

Chloe: Well, like you said, maybe–maybe there’s something down at the river that will tell us what happened that night.

Brady: Okay. All right.

[Dramatic music]

Melinda: This is a big decision, an emotional one. I’ll give you a moment to discuss it.

Kate: Thank you.

Melinda: Yeah.

Kate: Finally, some action. What are you waiting for?

Victor: She said, “take a moment to discuss.” Let’s discuss.

Kate: What’s there to discuss? We want her to go after the person who hurt our son, right?

Victor: Yes, of course. It’s–it’s just that I’m not ready. I’m not ready to accept the fact that my son is dead.

Kate: You think that I am? I’ve been desperately trying to convince myself that philip is still alive, but all of the magical thinking in the world is not gonna change the fact that…

[Somber music]

My heart is broken. I know your heart is broken too, but we still have to accept the horrible reality that philip is probably at the bottom of the river and brady is the one who put him there. I want to see him behind bars now. Oh, god, victor, because it’s brady, right? Family? Grandson? How many times did brady turn his back on you? Do I have to remind you of that? Do I have to remind you that he was more than willing to let kristen get away with nearly killing you? Now you’re willing to let him get away with murdering our son? Brady doesn’t deserve your loyalty. Philip does. So stop regretting what you can’t change and sign the damn paper!

[Tense music]

Melinda: Detectives.

Lani: Before you ask, we talked to the dive team. They still haven’t found a body or anything else.

Melinda: No harm in being thorough.

Eli: Well, if you don’t mind, we have other leads we need to follow.

Melinda: Any as promising as brady black? I’ll take that as a no.

Lani: Is there any new information?

Melinda: Why don’t you stick around? Depending on what’s happening in that room, I might have something for you to do.

This is the sound of nature breathing.

Rex: No one understands mom better than you, dad. Which is why I’m so happy that you two are back together again, especially now.

Roman: Well, you are there for her too, son, and I am grateful for that, as is she. As she said, we’re both very glad to have you home. Refill?

Rex: No, I’m kind of coffee’d out.

Roman: Okay.

Rex: Thanks.

Roman: Tell you what. Why don’t we go back to the pub, wait for your mom there? I’m sure I can rustle up a couple of bowls of chowder.

Rex: [Laughs] Now, yes, that sounds good. I just–I want to know what trask is about to tell mom.

Roman: Yeah.

Rex: Let’s go.

[Zipper scratching]

Xander: And we are packed. In record time.

Gwen: Yeah, if we leave now, we’ll make it just in time for our flight.

Xander: You coming?

Gwen: [Clears throat] Yeah, sorry, I was just checking to see if the coffee guy was still there.

Xander: Well, is he? I could still give him a piece of my mind.

Gwen: Not that I don’t appreciate your chivalry, but his shift must have ended. So yes, he’s gone.

Xander: So what are we waiting for?

Gwen: [Sighs] Absolutely nothing.

Xander: [Chuckles] Come on.

Gwen: Right.

[Both chuckle]

[Tense music]

Chloe: [Sighs]

Brady: Is it–this is where you found me?

Chloe: Yeah. Right here. You were lying right here, and you were covered in blood, and there was a knife lying right there. You don’t remember me finding you here?

Brady: I don’t, no.

Chloe: And you don’t remember why you came down to the river and what happened once you were down here?

Brady: Philip!

Chloe: Brady, what’s going on? Hey, are you remembering something?

Limu emu… & doug

Rex: Oh, my phone. Phone, phone. Phone.

Xander: Yeah, I’m impressed with us, how quickly we packed.

Gwen: Yeah, well, whatever we forgot, we can always get there, right? Marks and sparks has good bargains.

Xander: Yeah.

Rex: Whoa.

Xander: Rex brady?

[Tense music]

Maggie: Oh, you’re home. Hi, darling. You got back sooner than I thought. Although I suppose I-I took a little longer than I expected. I said two rosaries for philip.

Victor: Maybe I should’ve had you say one for me as well.

[Dramatic music]

Maggie: Victor, what happened at the police station?

Kate: Hey.

Roman: So there you are. What–what happened with trask?

Kate: Well, she wanted victor and I to have philip declared legally dead.

Roman: What?

Kate: Yeah, she said it was the only way she was going to be able to arrest brady for his murder. Of course, victor was his usual stubborn self.

Victor: Kate wanted me to sign the paper so that trask could use it to go after brady. Now, I want justice for my son, but signing away my grandson’s life to get it?

Roman: So what happened? Did victor sign or not?

Maggie: Victor, what did you do?

Victor: God forgive me. I signed the damn paper.

Chloe: Brady, what is it? Do you remember something?

Brady: Philip, your hands off me. Yeah, I do. It’s fuzzy, but it’s right there. It’s right there.

Chloe: Okay, what? What is right there?

Brady: Oh, god, chloe, I was–

Melinda: Mr. Black, returning to the scene of the crime? Thanks for staying in plain view of our divers. Made tracking you down very easy.

Brady: What are you talking about?

Chloe: What’s going on here?

Melinda: Justice. Brady black, you’re under arrest for the murder of philip kiriakis.

Chloe: No, you can’t do that.

Brady: You’re arresting me?

Melinda: Oh, I sure can. Detective.

Eli: Sorry, man. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be provided for you.

Kate: I mean, it’s not like I want to believe that philip’s dead. It’s just that I had to do it to move the investigation forward.

Roman: You did what you thought was the right thing to do.

Kate: Yeah. Well, at least I don’t feel so helpless anymore.

Roman: Yeah. Well, tell you what. Why don’t you take a break? You still haven’t eaten. Now, you want me to bring you up something?

Kate: [Sighs] No, I-I just want to be alone.

Roman: Okay. Well, you know where I am if you need me.

Kate: I do.

Roman: Okay.

Kate: [Gasps]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Mellow music]

Ridge: I hate being at odds with you because it ruins my day.

Brooke: Yeah, me toO. When you walked out–

Ridge: I walked out because I’ve got a temper and when I get angry, I don’t want to say something I’m gonna regret.

Brooke: I know, I know. I understand.

Ridge: Do you?

Brooke: Really, I do.

Ridge: Mh-mm?

Brooke: I just… think we need some time alone.

Ridge: Uh huh?

Brooke: So, maybe we should take a trip up the coast? You know, nice little drive.

Ridge: Sounds really nice.

Brooke: Yeah. Just focus on us and our relationship.

Ridge: Mh-mm?

[Laughing]

Brooke: I know that there’s been some distractions lately.

Ridge: Are you talking about that big fat elephant in the middle of the room? And before you start, that is probably the nicest thing I’ve ever said about deacon.

Brooke: Yeah. No, I mean it, really. We need to recharge.

Ridge: I think you’re right. Let’s do it.

Brooke: Okay, I just gotta tell steffy and thomas.

Brooke: No, any forrester business can wait.

Ridge: It’s not forrester business. I was gonna tell you last night but you already asleep, but… uh, taylor’s back.

[Somber music]

[Seagulls cawing]

Steffy: Mom, I love that you’re here.

Taylor: Thank you. Don’t get it on the whites!

[Laughing]

Steffy: I know this isn’t the waldorf or anything.

Taylor: Oh, please. These amenities come with the most gorgeous grandbabies a grandma could ever ask for.

Steffy: I loved seeing you this morning with kelly and hayes. It was so cute.

Taylor: Honey, it was amazing. And you got to get some work done.

Steffy: And I’m so grateful for that. Finn had a late shift at the hospital, so it was really nice. And I’m so excited for you guys to finally meet face to face.

Taylor: I am too. Honey, they’re beautiful. Kelly and hayes. Remarkable doesn’t even begin to describe them. I’m so proud of you.

Finn: Morning. Or, uh, afternoon.

Taylor: Hi.

Finn: It is long overdue, but it’s nice to finally see you face to face.

Taylor: Yes. You too. Look at you. Oh my gosh. I was just telling steffy how proud I am of her. Congratulations on your beautiful family. Come here.

[Deacon sighing]

Paul: Hey, deacon.

Deacon: Yeah?

Paul: Don’t forget to clean the bathrooms.

Deacon: Okay.

Sheila: So do you use a sponge or a toothbrush when you clean the toilets?

Deacon: I’m glad you’re having fun.

Sheila: Deacon, I always have fun.

Deacon: Did you order food to pick up or something? Is there a reason you’re here?

Sheila: I could give you about a thousand reasons why I’m here and what you could do for me, but… I’ll settle for just an answer to one question.

Deacon: Shoot.

Sheila: Why are you here? Why are you cleaning when you could be living with me? Are you really willing to stoop to that kind of a low just to get close to brooke?

[Tense music]

Deacon: I wouldn’t call an honest day’s work sinking low.

Sheila: I think it is for a man of your talents.

Deacon: For my talents, what would those be, sheila? Conning? Gambling?

Sheila: Surviving.

Deacon: You know, that’s what I’m trying to do. I’m just trying to survive. You know, normally I’d be at the bar, knocking them back. I’m trying to clean up my act.

Sheila: To win brooke?

Deacon: To have a place in my daughter’s life.

Sheila: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. This is all about hope, deacon. You know, you can’t honestly tell me that on some level, this isn’t about brooke, too.

Brooke: Taylor’s back?

Ridge: Yeah, she surprised, steffy yesterday.

Brooke: Oh, she surprised her. So she didn’t even let steffy know? She didn’t call her or text her or give her a heads up?

Ridge: No.

Brooke: That’s kind of strange.

Ridge: Strange, why? It’s her mother, she can come whenever she wants, it’s not like some roommate from college stopping by.

Brooke: And you saw her, too?

Ridge: Yeah, it was me and steffy and thomas. It was, uh… it was nice.

Taylor: I was planning on staying at a hotel, but steffy–

Steffy: And I said absolutely not.

Finn: And I would have said the same thing.

Steffy: You just got back. I’m not giving you up that quickly.

Taylor: Okay, well, we’ll see how long that lasts. No one wants their mother hanging around.

Steffy: Oh, please. If it were up to me, you would never leave. Kelly and hayes were so excited to see you. Not as excited as I was.

Taylor: Oh. I love you so much, steffy.

Steffy: I love you too, mom. It’s so good to have you back.

[Music: “I swear”]

Deacon: I just want a relationship with hope.

Sheila: And brooke, too.

Deacon: She is hope’s mother.

Sheila: You want a lot more than a co-parenting relationship with her.

Deacon: I just want a relationship with my daughter. All right? That’s it. It’s going pretty well. You know, I stopped by the cabin yesterday, and it turns out that hope likes martial arts. So, there’s something else we have in common.

Sheila: You’re a martial artist?

Deacon: I can handle myself. And I did just get out of prison, not summer camp.

Sheila: Wow. Whoo!

[Giggling] I would’ve thought martial arts would have been a little too structured for someone like you.

Deacon: Well, it was in the beginning. It was also exactly what I needed. I had a lot of rage when I was a kid. It was a perfect outlet. I mean, you think that I’m bad now, it could have been a hell of a lot worse.

Sheila: Well, it’s a good thing you know how to take care of yourself. That karate could come in handy with ridge.

[Tense music]

Brooke: Oh, I’m happy that you and steffy and thomas got to spend time together as a family with taylor.

Ridge: It was nice. Seeing the kids, they were so excited, like– like… kids under a christmas tree. It was nice.

Brooke: Oh, good. I bet taylor was so excited to see kelly and hayes.

Ridge: Saw ’em this morning. They sent a picture. Do you want to see it?

Brooke: No, that’s okay. I’m sure it was sweet.

Ridge: This is hard for taylor, you know? She, uh… she’s committed to her work, and it’s really impressive what she does, you know?

Brooke: Yeah. Yeah, it is. So, uh… when does she go back to this really impressive work?

[Laughing]

Ridge: Come on, she’s missed so much. With hayes and her daughter’s wedding, I think… maybe she’ll stick around.

Brooke: Oh.

Taylor: So, finn, how are you holding up?

Finn: I’m good, it was a long shift to the hospital, but I love my work. Oh, you’re– ah, you’re talking about sheila and my father and, uh… that whole mess.

Taylor: I don’t want to overstep here but steffy told me that… sheila was your biological mother and… your adopted father is actually your biological one. Has to be a bit of an emotional roller coaster for you.

Finn: Maybe more of a train wreck. But, uh… yeah. I don’t know.

Taylor: Yeah, you don’t– you don’t have to know. This is an emotional time. I’m here if you want to talk.

Finn: Thank you. I… appreciate that offer. I might have to take you up on it one day. But… right now, I just want to be there for my mom. She was lied to as well and I wanna make sure she’s okay.

Taylor: I’m sure she will be in time. How could she not be with a wonderful son like you?

Steffy: He is a wonderful husband. And father.

Taylor: You know, things might get… worse before they get better. Just– just hold on to each other. As tight as you can and don’t let go and everything is gonna be okay.

Steffy: Mom.

Taylor: No, it’s just– it’s– this is what you hope for. That your daughter will find a love like the two of you have. Nothing makes me happier than seeing you happy.

Wait, oh, yes

Brooke: A longer visit?

Ridge: Yes, it seems that way.

Brooke: Okay, well, how long?

Ridge: I– I don’t know. Maybe she’llstay for good this time.

Brooke: Stay for good? I mean, what about her job, her work?

Ridge: She’s a psychiatrist. Not like we don’t need psychiatrists in los angeles. Look, she missed her family.

Brooke: Yeah, sure she did. So, I guess my next question would be… why now? I mean, I’m sure she missed her family the entire time she was gone. So…

Ridge: You okay?

Brooke: Yeah, I’m okay. Why wouldn’t I be?

Ridge: You just seem a little off. I mean, are you okay with… taylor being back home?

[Laughing]

Taylor: Then I walk into the kitchen and steffy and phoebe are covered from head to toe with frosting.

Steffy: It was an epic food fight.

Taylor: I was mortified and I ask them, “who did this?” And they both just pointed at each other. That’s twins for you.

Finn: I love these stories, but, um, I gotta head back to the hospital.

Taylor: I completely understand.

Steffy: I’ll see you.

[Smooching]

Finn: All right. Heading out. And maybe I’ll… I’ll bring some frosting.

Steffy: Babe! No, not in front of my mom!

Taylor: Oh, come on, there’s nothing that you can think of that your father and I haven’t already done.

Steffy: Mom. No.

Taylor: What? You think you came out of nowhere?

[Laughing]

Taylor: Oh, steffy, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you so happy.

Steffy: I am. Yeah, things are really good. It’s almost perfect.

Taylor: Almost?

Steffy: Well, as… good as things are, just always feels like there’s this, like… dark cloud hanging over us. I know what it is. The reemergence of deacon and sheila.

Sheila: You know, you’re right. What you said the other day, I am… jealous of you. How you did it, how you got brooke on your side was amazing. You know, you’d have nothing without her. Just like me. Nothing.

Deacon: Sheila, I do feel for you.

Sheila: Don’t patronize me.

Deacon: I’m not, I’m not. I do. I think the big difference between hope and finn is that hope is ready to have a relationship with me.

Sheila: Finn wants one with me too. Steffy is just doing everything in her power to make sure that that doesn’t happen.

Deacon: I do feel for you. But this is your deal to fix. I can’t get wrapped up in this again. I can’t blow this, don’t you understand? I’m starting to get closer to hope. We’re forming a real bond.

Sheila: And you’re getting closer to brooke, too, aren’t you? Which is driving ridge crazy.

Deacon: I’m not doing any of this to rattle ridge’s cage.

Sheila: But your presence is causing trouble and between ridge and brooke and you’re not the least bit upset about that, are you? I mean, you’d love to see the demise of– of brooke and ridge’s, you know, fairytale love story. That would give you a chance for chapter two. Deacon and brooke. Am I right?

[Intense music] O man, that’s a whole lot of wrinkly that his biological mother is…

Steffy: A sociopathic criminal? Yeah, yeah, it’s been a lot for the family. Sheila’s presence has affected all of us.

Taylor: And now deacon’s back.

Steffy: Perfect timing, huh? Perfect timing. I don’t know how much you’ve talked to dad, but, deacon’s return has put a big strain on his marriage.

Taylor: I did talk to your father. I… I don’t mean to wish any ill will towards brooke or her marriage.

Steffy: No, of course not. But how can brooke allow to deacon back into their lives?

Taylor: Well, hope wants a relationship with her father.

Steffy: I get that, it’s a terrible decision. But hey, I… I get it. Brooke should know better.

Taylor: It’s just so hard on your father.

Steffy: I can’t even imagine. Brooke had an affair with deacon while he was married to brooke’s daughter, bridget. Like, that’s crazy. It was an awful, horrible time, and that’s when… hope was born.

Taylor: Yeah, I remember it well. You know, your grandmother, stephanie, had A… a horrible nickname for brooke during that time. That was a scandal that… rocked all of us. Your father and I were together then and, god, it was so hard for him. Still, so many painful memories.

Steffy: And what does brooke do? Welcomes deacon back with open arms. It’s not right. And it’s not fair to dad.

Ridge: So, out of all the uninvited people that showed up here over the years, you have a problem with taylor?

Brooke: I didn’t say that, ridge. But I shouldn’t have to remind you of our very long and complicated history. Yes, I’M… I’m happy that you and taylor and steffy and thomas all got together as a family, and I’m sure that taylor is very excited to see her grandchildren. And douglas, oh my god, he must be thrilled!

Ridge: Hey. Thank you for understanding.

Brooke: Yeah, of course. And if I’m understanding of that, then you could be understanding of the significance of deacon in hope’s life.

Ridge: Oh no, no, we’re not doing that.

Brooke: Yeah, I think we kind of have to.

Ridge: We don’t have to do that at all. I thought we were going on a trip up north or something. Up the coast.

Brooke: I thought so, too.

Ridge: Okay.

Brooke: But if you wanna talk about how you appreciate my understanding that taylor’s back, I think at least we should have a discussion about deacon.

Ridge: I’m sorry. Are you comparing deacon and taylor? Because you can’T.

Brooke: Okay. Well… I think you’re conveniently forgetting how much pain taylor cost me. Look, I don’T… want to argue about this. I don’T. I realized that deacon’s presence has caused us a lot of issues.

Ridge: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: And I don’t want that, ridge, because I love you.

Ridge: Yeah?

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: I love you. But I will never see deacon the way you see deacon. He’s a con artist. He’s a bad person and he has caused you so much pain and I don’t need to be reminded of that over and over again.

[Knocking]

Deacon: Hey, brooke, you ready for some karate lessons? Oh, I thought you were gonna be at the office. How you doing, ridge?

Ridge: Karate lessons?

Brooke: Deacon was down at the cabin teaching hope karate, and I walked in and I just joked that–

Ridge: Oh, you were joking with him? Ah, okay. All right, so this guy, this is what I mean. He can walk into my house every time he wants, and now… he’s joking with you? What are you? A cute, little family now?

Deacon: Well, ridge, I’m not trying to upset you, but we are family. And yesterday, we were a happy one.

Ridge: Really.

Deacon: Uh huh.

Ridge: And you still don’t see how this clown is trying to weasel his way back into your life.

Deacon: I think I’ve made my intentions known.

Ridge: We all know what your intentions are, deacon. We know your intentions. You want to get back into hope’s life, you want to redeem yourself, I get it. I hope that that never happens. But that’s not your whole plan, is it? You want to be with brooke. You want to be with my wife.

Interview with Melissa Joan Hart, Duane Henry and Jamey Sheridan

TV Interview!

Melissa Joan Hart, Duane Henry and Jamey Sheridan of "Mistletoe in Montana" on Lifetime

Interview with Melissa Joan Hart, Duane Henry and Jamey Sheridan of “Mistletoe in Montana” on Lifetime by Suzanne 11/8

This is a really cute movie with many fun scenes, and I loved the actors in it. It was great to see Jamey Sheridan as an old cowboy! I think you’ll enjoy it as much as I did, and this Lifetime press panel.

MODERATOR: Hi, all. Our next panel is “Mistletoe in Montana” with EP and star, Melissa Joan Hart, along with stars, Jamey Sheridan and Duane Henry. Hi, everyone.

MELISSA JOAN HART: Hi.

MODERATOR: Thank you for being here. Our first question —

MELISSA JOAN HART: It’s good to see everybody. It’s so good — like, it’s so fun to see the trailer and see we made a movie, you guys.

MODERATOR: Yes. It’s here. It’s happening. Our first question is from Mike from TV America.

QUESTION: Yeah, for Melissa, the first time that we heard from you long ago, you were a kid from New York City and here you are riding horses on a ranch and being a cowgirl and so forth. Did you have those abilities before you made the movie? How did that come about? Or did you have to learn this to make the movie?

MELISSA JOAN HART: Well, when I was a little girl, there was probably one summer that I could afford horseback riding lessons and I did it. I rode on a horse named Sprinkles and just went around a ring, you know, went around an arena, learned how to trot and maybe canter a little. But I always wanted to get back into it. And in my years in L.A., I would do trail rides. And actually, this movie is actually inspired by my cousin’s true-life experience in Wyoming going to a dude ranch. And she met a wrangler and fell in love, so this is the flip flop of that. We were actually at her wedding in Wyoming last year when she got married. And that’s where my mother and I — who produces Hartbreak Films, my mother is my partner — we were on horseback. And I said, “This would make a great movie.” And she said, “Well, do you want to be the wrangler or the guest?” And I was like, “Well, I wanna be the wrangler ’cause I wanna really learn how to be a cowgirl.” So I worked all summer on lessons, lasso lessons. I knew there was archery involved and square dancing, but I was like I’ll have to put that off for right now. I just wanna get comfortable on a horse. So I rode as many horses as I could for as long as I could, learned about different rein techniques and different ways to respond to a horse and how horses respond to you. And I had a — I mean, I had a very fast and furious lesson. There were some lessons where I went away and told my husband, I was like, “I’ll see you in three hours if you’re lucky. I might not make it back.” Because I got a little scared sometimes at some of the stuff I was doing. But I was just trying to get comfortable and it was really exciting. And the horse that I actually ended up riding, his real name was Maverick. We called him Thunder in the movie. But we had such a — I’ve never been so in love as I was with this horse. No offense, Duane, but oh my gosh, that horse and I — Duane knows — we fell madly in love. And the horse and I had a wonderful relationship, a little unlike Duane and his horse, Cherokee. But I’ll let him tell you about that.

QUESTION: And incidentally, how was the archery and the square dancing once you learned?

MELISSA JOAN HART: It was great. Actually, Kellie Martin, one of my very best friends, directed this movie. And we have a friend, (Christine Lakin @ 01:09:59), who’s a director and a fellow child star. And she helped us out with some choreography. A few nights before the shooting of the square dancing, we were like, what are we gonna do? I don’t really know how to do this. I’ve been watching YouTube videos. And so Christine laid down some stuff for us and we kind of learned a little bit of a dance. So that was really fun and exciting and different to do. And it was wonderful to have Christine help us out with that. And the archery, Duane and I just kinda figured it out, right?

DUANE HENRY: Yeah, pretty much.

QUESTION: Thanks.

MODERATOR: Thank you so much. Our next question is from Noah.

QUESTION: Hello, everyone. It is so great to be here to chat with you guys about this beautiful movie, “Mistletoe in Montana”. First off, Melissa, my question is to you. You are like the Lifetime Christmas queen. I think we can all say it. Six Christmas movies with Lifetime. Congratulations to you. Out of the other holiday movies you’ve done with Lifetime, what made this movie really special to film that viewers will get to see on December the 17th?

MELISSA JOAN HART: Well, the things that were really special for me were things like it came from a real-life experience. It was something that I kind of created from scratch and then we got a wonderful writer, Don Perez, who had written some other movies that we produced. So we had this wonderful writer write this fun story that was a true-life event for me, so that was really fun. And then, the horses and then our cast, Jamey and Duane and we had a stellar cast. I mean, we had a lot of fun. I will say it was the most challenging movie I’ve ever been on. But to come out of the other end of that — I mean, the amount of challenges between the fires that were taking place in Montana this summer, the heat. Jamey, I know you can attest to the practical heat stroke we suffered on the set with how we were dressed in a heat wave in Montana. But the riding of the horses and the fact that we made a beautiful movie out of this and it’s gonna be seen by hopefully millions just is a wonderful reminder that these things have legs and they can be enjoyed by everybody hopefully around the holidays for years to come.

QUESTION: Now, Melissa, there’s a scene where Duane’s character, Mark, and your character, Mary, y’all have this bakeoff on who can whip up a delicious breakfast. And it was so funny to watch. It was actually one of my favorite scenes. What is one of your favorite dishes or desserts to make during the holidays if you can share with us?

MELISSA JOAN HART: Duane?

DUANE HENRY: Oh, my favorite dishes — put me on the spot. Well, unfortunately — well, fortunately, I’m a lightweight but I enjoy eggnog.

MELISSA JOAN HART: Wait, wait, when you say lightweight, you mean like an alcoholic version?

DUANE HENRY: (Laughs.) Yeah, I just get a little bit fluffy after a couple of eggnogs, but it’s my thing these days I’ve realized.

MELISSA JOAN HART: I’m more of a — I make a secret recipe pie my grandma passed down called French silk pie. There’s actually some ingredients in it that you can’t eat if you’re pregnant, so I try not to — it’s not quite — it’s not alcohol or anything like that. But it’s raw eggs, but it’s still the most delicious thing ever. I only eat it at Thanksgiving and Christmas and not the rest of the year. And it’s probably — it’s my favorite thing. I can’t have the holidays without it. Jamey, you got any?

QUESTION: Jamey? Yeah. I don’t wanna leave you out.

JAMEY SHERIDAN: Homemade sweet potatoes. My sister used to make homemade sweet potatoes every Christmas. That’s my favorite dish.

QUESTION: Those are good. Those are good. Thank you, guys.

DUANE HENRY: Cheers.

MELISSA JOAN HART: Thank you.

MODERATOR: Those all sound great. Jay, you’re up next.

QUESTION: Thank you. Jamey, hi. My question is for you. It seems like when we see you, we often see you as this dressed-to-the-nines urban professional. And here, you’ve got this great character role that kind of holds the tradition of Christmas TV movie dads but also kind of frontier dads, too. Can you talk about what your mindset was in developing this guy, bringing him to life?

JAMEY SHERIDAN: I’m losing — I’m up to frontier dads. I lost you there.

QUESTION: Okay. Just in general, what were your thoughts about bringing this guy to life?

DUANE HENRY: Frankly, I wanted to be on a horse. I wanted to be on a horse real bad. And it kinda — you know, it hit the target for what I was feeling and — but I just liked him so much as a father. I sort of need father models for my private life being a father as often as I can and Stan’s pretty great. He’s a pretty good guy. So that drew me to it and also, it’s the personnel. Melissa and her mom and everybody was so kind and so open to my ideas, like a scraggly, ugly beard. And everybody said, “Oh yeah, scraggly, ugly beard, let’s do that.” So it made life easy.

QUESTION: Did you see this as a great break from the kind of roles you normally play?

JAMEY SHERIDAN: Yeah. Yeah. Actually, I think what it is is that I see it as the way I am every day of my life off screen. So it was kind of an opportunity to get something from my real life on screen. You were talking about these well-dressed city guys. I don’t think I ever know what I’m doing when I’m dressed as a well-dressed city guy.

QUESTION: Thanks a lot.

MELISSA JOAN HART: I’d like to add to that that our director, Kellie Martin, her husband is from Montana, so she has a long history with Montana and felt very tied to this film. And Jamey’s character was like, she had such a vision for him and she wanted him so much to be an authentic — and she was so excited with casting Jamey because he just had that sort of natural ruggedness and that Montana man, mountain man kind of vibe to him. And he pulled it off so beautifully.

JAMEY SHERIDAN: Thank you.

MODERATOR: Thank you. Our next question is from Steven.

DUANE HENRY: We had a lot of fun.

QUESTION: Hey —

DUANE HENRY: I’m just gonna say I don’t know if this is gonna be heard.

MODERATOR: Yeah, go ahead.

QUESTION: Now we’re here and it’s so exciting to have you, Melissa, just knowing that — I mean, you are a legend in this game. Let’s just keep it real.

MELISSA JOAN HART: (Laughs.)

QUESTION: And honestly you’ve entertained so many of us for many seasons and many years. And I’m very grateful to have you on and I just want to know, what are the challenges that an executive producer has to have when balancing still being an actress, as well?

MELISSA JOAN HART: Well, this one I will tell you was really tricky. I mean, the location was difficult. We were trying to find an empty dude ranch in July. And that wasn’t easy because these dude ranches are up and running only for the months of June, July, August. So we couldn’t find a place to shoot, so location was really difficult. Once we found location, no Wi-Fi, no cell phone service. With the shortage of rental cars this year, no one had a rental car. Duane got…some funny stories about that.

DUANE HENRY: (Laughs.)

MELISSA JOAN HART: But you know, it was challenging. The location was so difficult, the communication was really hard, the fires and heat wave that surrounded us. And being the executive producer and feeling responsible for my fellow actors and my crew, it was really hard to pull this one off. I mean, there were a few times — we had some breakthrough COVID cases right at the beginning. We lost our DP and our first AD right off the bat. And we’re in the middle of Montana, in like the mountains of Montana. Everyone was terrified the first few days of grizzly bears and then it became — like, that was a real fear, right Duane? Everyone carried their bear mace and we had the whole thing ready to go. And we stayed tight as a crew. But you know, we just had so many challenges on this one. And as an executive producer, you hate to have that with your cast and your crew. And this crew has worked with me many, many movies, so it was a little heartbreaking to have it go — be really difficult to produce. But at the end, we have a movie — like, I kind of can’t believe it, watching that trailer and just seeing the final product is just like, we did it, you guys. We made a movie that hopefully people will enjoy. So that’s one of the challenges of (inaudible @ 01:18:51).

QUESTION:   I just want to know what are the parallels between you guys as a person and your characters on the show?

MELISSA JOAN HART: You guys take one. Duane?

DUANE HENRY: I’m sorry, can you repeat that?

QUESTION: Yes. What are the parallels between you as a person and your character? Do you find anything that you can relate to with your character?

DUANE HENRY: Well, primarily I can, obviously, being an outsider coming from the UK and just trying to find my feet in, you know, America and just trying to find some sense of this place. Yes, going to the ranch I guess is just the same sort of parallel energy. I’m just bringing my outside influence and just take from it what I can. And I’ve applied that philosophy throughout my life. So just being on a ranch with my kids, it was almost an element of rehabilitation almost. And I think everyone deserves that and to be forced to do that with my children — I know it’s only a story but if everyone gets to do that, experience something like that, it’s definitely priceless in their lifetime to have a look back on, you know?

MODERATOR: Thank you so much. That is all the time we have for this panel. Thank you to all our panels for being here and make sure to tune in on December 17th only on Lifetime. Thank you all.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Chelsea: Shouldn’t school be out by now? Where’s connor?

Adam: I promise, he will be home right on time.

Chelsea: “Home.” As in here. Right. How has the transition to the ranch been?

Adam: Well, when he got back from boarding school, I thought it would be important for him to have some stability and consistency, and living here has given him both.

Chelsea: And how’s it been for you, being so close to victor? And everybody else who lives on the property?

Adam: You’re asking about me and sharon.

Sharon: There you go. One for the road.

Rey: Thanks, love.

Sharon: You seem a bit on edge today. Are you working on a big case, putting away a bad guy?

Rey: The opposite, actually. Today I find out if my former partner will be my future partner.

Sharon: Chance.

Rey: He has a meeting this morning with the chief — earlier than planned.

Abby: So you’re going down to the station to meet with paul?

Chance: Yeah.

Abby: You don’t think it’s a little too soon?

Chance: No, no, it’s just a preliminary conversation. I promise, no stakeouts, no interrogations, nothing like that. We’re just gonna map out the timeline for my return.

Abby: So you’re still planning on easing back into work, right?

Chance: Absolutely, okay? I want to get as much time as i can with you and dominic. That’s my number-one priority.

Abby: Good, because I want as much uninterrupted quality time with you as I can get. I think it’ll be good for us and our family.

Chance: So do I, so do I. This is — this is the happiest I’ve been in a long time.

[ Both chuckle ]

Abby: So, um, where’d you go last night? I was a little bit worried when I woke up and saw a note that you were getting some air.

Chance: Oh.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Abby: Oh. I’m not expecting anyone.

Chance: Me neither. Christine.

Christine: [ Chuckles ] Chance, welcome back. I’ve got some big news.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Chance: I’m not okay. And — and it’s getting harder to pretend like I am.

Devon: Who you pretending for?

Chance: Feels like everyone.

Devon: Even abby?

Chance: I can talk to her about some of it, but not everything.

Devon: Well, that’s unfortunate, man, ’cause I know that she would want to know what’s going on with you.

Chance: She’d want to reassure me that everything is great and that I haven’t done anything wrong. And in her eyes, I’m the perfect husband and the perfect father.

Devon: You don’t see yourself like that?

Chance: It’s just not who i am, man. I let her down before our baby was even born. I mean, I failed her.

Devon: I don’t know how you figure that you failed anybody. You’re home. You made it. You’re alive. You know, you have a brand-new son. You got a great wife.

Chance: Do I deserve it? You know, I made commitments to abby and dominic. I’m gonna do everything that i can to try to live up to them. But — but the question is, can I?

Amanda: Hey. Is everything okay?

Devon: Hey. Yeah. Yeah, everything’s fine. Why?

Amanda: Because I think i know you pretty well at this point, and I can tell something’s weighing on you. I mean, last night was the first time you ever left while I was sleeping. Is something up?

Devon: Yeah, it’s chance. I’m — I’m worried about him.

Billy: Oh, look who’s here. Follow my lead. Hey, there. How’s the happy couple? Huh? How’s married life? How’s newlywed life?

Victoria: Well, that’s a very interesting question, given the things that you said about ashland and me when we spoke earlier.

Lily: Uh, you know what? Let’s go find our table.

Billy: No, I’m fine, I’m fine. I mean, look, look, I am a man of leisure, okay? I get to eat and do whatever i want whenever I want. Eat, do whatever. And now that the kids are gonna be going to boarding school, i really have no responsibility at all, so, wow, that’s impressive. You guys are giving the side-eye like you’ve been married for decades. I’m fine. In fact, I am so good, I owe you a thank-you. So, ashland, come with me, we’re getting a drink. Come on.

Do I need to pretreat my

laundry?

Devon: [ Sighs ] I ran into chance last night at society. And we had a conversation that didn’t really make me feel too comfortable.

Amanda: Why? What did he say?

Devon: He said he’s been feeling very guilty about abandoning abby throughout the entire pregnancy. Not to mention mariah getting kidnapped while she was carrying the child and him not knowing anything about it. And then on top of it all, while he was gone, you know, he lost every single person on his team, and he came back the only survivor.

Amanda: Wow. I mean, that is a lot to absorb in a short period of time. I think that his emotions are understandable.

Devon: No, I mean, yes. It’s to be expected. I don’t know how he could be in a good head space after what he went through. But he’s clearly struggling, you know? Struggling to find any kind of normalcy being back home, and that concerns me ’cause I don’t want it to affect dominic.

Sharon: I’m surprised that chance would want to return work so soon.

Rey: Well, apparently he got the all-clear from his doctor.

Sharon: I wasn’t thinking about his physical fitness.

Rey: You’re wondering if he’s emotionally ready.

Sharon: Being a police officer is a stressful job, but he’s also a new dad.

Rey: Mm.

Sharon: Even if he hadn’t just been through a terrible ordeal, it wouldn’t be unusual for him to take paternity leave.

Rey: Well, I think that’s up for him and paul to figure out. And I do want him to do whatever’s best for him. But I have to admit, I want my partner back.Le

Sharon: Aww, you lonely without your bff?

Rey: Oh! A cop and his partner have a special bond. We have each other’s backs in life-and-death situations.

Sharon: Not to mention all the hours in the squad car talking about sports.

Rey: Don’t make light of that. I was 75% successful in turning chance into a soccer fan, and i plan to finish that project.

Sharon: Well, I hope you achieve that goal because, otherwise, you’re gonna go back to trying to make me watch.

Rey: Oh, I’m never gonna give up on that.

Sharon: Look, one day soon, you’re gonna be on a stakeout with chance, talking about world cup, and then you’re gonna spot the bad guys and you’re gonna spring into action.

Rey: Yeah, just like that.

Christine: So I got a call from my old boss. He thought I might want to be the one to share this news with you.

[ Sighs ] Thanks to the intel you provided, identifying the attackers of the safe house, the follow-up team was able to track them down and catch them.

Chance: You’re kidding.

Christine: No, wait, it gets better. The people that set the bomb revealed the location of the leader that you had been hunting down. He’s been apprehended, too, chance. This whole thing, it’s over.

Abby: Oh!

Chance: Wow, that is unbelievable to hear.

Abby: That’s a huge weight off of our shoulders, right?

Chance: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Was everyone involved arrested?

Christine: Yeah, I believe so. I mean, once they were getting interrogated, they all sort of turned on each other quickly. So that means this case is officially closed. It also means that you no longer have to have a security detail.

Abby: [ Sighs ] My god, babe, we are officially safe. That means we can finally have our lives back. Oh.

Chance: [ Chuckles ]

Ashland: I think I’m gonna turn down that offer of a drink.

Victoria: You seem to have had enough already.

Billy: Oh, that’s right, you two have to go back to the office. I don’T. I don’t have a job right now. Thought I was gonna miss it, but I really don’T. And, you know, let’s just be honest, I’m an abbott. I got plenty of money in the bank.

Lily: Okay, billy, stop. This isn’t funny.

Ashland: You should listen to your better half.

Billy: I do listen to her all the time. And she listens to me, because she accepts me for who I am. You know the feeling, don’t you? I mean, clearly victoria has forgiven you for plenty of things. And all fairness to you, you forgave me for many things, as well. I actually think we have something in common. She likes a little bit of that risk-taking kind of stuff, you know? Ashland, do you play poker? Only for fun, of course. Come on, let’s have a game, me and you, mano a mano. You name the stakes.

Chelsea: I am not trying to pry when it comes to you and sharon. I have completed therapy, and all of those dark, poisonous thoughts are behind me. But I can’t help being a little curious.

Adam: Okay. Well, let me put your mind at ease, I, um, barely see sharon anymore. I don’t have any reason to go to her side of the property, and vice versa. I mean, she and rey are building their life together. And I’m focused on connor and newman media.

Chelsea: You sound good. Focused.

Adam: I am.

[ Sighs ] Truth be told, I’d love to live somewhere other than the tack house. See enough of my father at work, and I’d like to be closer to the office, but connor, he loves the open spaces here. He likes being by the horses and close to family.

Chelsea: Yeah.

Adam: Faith has been great. She’s been giving him riding lessons, so grandpa victor and grandma nikki can do no wrong in his eyes.

Chelsea: Good. Oh, that all sounds wonderful. But are you sure connor’s doing okay? I mean, he seemed fine on our video chats, but it’s such a small window into his life.

Adam: No, I’ve been watching him like a hawk to see if there’s any emotional trouble, but I genuinely think he’s doing well.

Chelsea: Good. Good. I’m relieved to hear that, ’cause it’s been hard, adam, being away from him for so long. There’s so many changes in connor’s life. I mean, he came back to genoa city, he moved into a new house.

Adam: I know, I know. He’s been dealing with it like a champ. I promise. Honestly, his biggest concern is he misses his mother. So your surprise return, it’s gonna make his day.

Chelsea: Thank you for saying that. Earlier, you said you were glad to see me. Does that mean you missed me, too? Maybe it’s another refill at your favorite diner…

Amanda: Listen, I would never impugn your motives. Okay? I know that you are coming from a good place. You are concerned whether or not dom is okay. But do you think that chance’s mental state may cause him to neglect the baby in some way?

Devon: No, I don’t think that. I… chance is a responsible guy. He’s always been that, his whole life. And that’s the most important part of being a father. So…

Amanda: Yet you’re still worried.

Devon: Yeah, I can’t help it. You know? The only thing that I know is that I want dominic to have the best life possible, and I also want to be there to help chance out, especially ’cause he opened up to me. And I think I know a way to achieve both those things, and it’s just that I need to spend as much time with dominic as i can.

Sharon: You know, the way we’re rhapsodizing about your relationship with chance, it has me wondering if I should be jealous.

Rey: Oh, stop it. You’re much cuter than he is.

Sharon: Oh, good. I’m glad there’s at least one thing you prefer about me.

Rey: And you are the kindest, most compassionate person I’ve ever met. You are warm and beautiful and the love of my life.

Sharon: Aww, that’s more like it.

Rey: Mm.

Sharon: Chance is lucky to have a partner who’s so generous with compliments.

Rey: You know, I was actually considering heading down to the station to offer my moral support while he met with paul, but you’ve already made so much fun of me.

Sharon: No, I would never make fun of that. I think that’s a really sweet thing to do.

Rey: Yeah?

Sharon: Yeah. Go cheer on your partner. You know what? Tell him I said good luck.

Rey: Will do.

Lily: Billy, nobody is playing poker, and please stop joking about gambling.

Billy: Honey, it’s a harmless game of cards, okay? Ashland, you kind of owe me one.

Ashland: I don’t owe you anything, and I’m going to decline.

Billy: I can round up some of the old boys. I’m sure they’re still kicking around. I mean, I haven’t been clean all that long.

Ashland: I’m not about to feed your addiction.

Billy: Oh, really? That’s where your moral boundaries stop, ashland? You got no problem setting a trap and stripping me of my dignity, but now you’re a straight-shooter? Now you’re mr. Trustworthy?

Ashland: You’d been warned. I told you that digging around in my past would be a losing proposition for you. You brought this on yourself, billy.

Billy: Yeah, I’m in the wrong. That’s rich coming from you.

Victoria: Enough, billy. Why don’t you go to a gamblers anonymous meeting or something?

Billy: Oh, wow, there you go. That’s why you get paid the big bucks. Yeah, I’m not gonna do that, victoria.

Victoria: Don’t do this because you’re gonna regret it.

Billy: Oh, believe me, i regret many things in my life. This is not one of them.

Victoria: I can’t watch this anymore. We should go.

Billy: I think that went well.

Lily: Yeah, maybe too well.

Adam: Did I miss you? I’m not sure how to answer that.

Chelsea: I didn’t mean to put you on the spot. That was not my intention. My therapist encouraged me to be more direct, but maybe coming out and saying it like that was too direct.

Adam: I just — I thought we talked about this.

Chelsea: We did, adam, but not in person, so I thought that we could do that now.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Did I not make it clear how i felt? I thought I did.

Chelsea: I remember what you said. That we need to forge our own paths moving forward separately, but I don’t know, I heard something different in your voice today. You seem more at peace, like maybe you’re willing to get past what I did.

Adam: I do feel more at peace for a number of reasons. But as far as forgetting and forgiving that you tried to frame me for attempted murder, I really don’t think we should have that discussion when connor’s gonna be walking through the door.

Chelsea: You’re right. Another time.

Connor: Mom!

Chelsea: Connor! [ Laughs ] Hi! Oh, my boy! Hi!

Connor: Grandpa said there was a surprise. I was secretly hoping it was you. I’ve missed you so much.

Chelsea: Not nearly as much as I’ve missed you. Oh, my baby! Oh!

[ Chuckles ]

[ Laughs ] (Kids chatter)

Abby: Can you believe it? No more security following us around, no more looking over our shoulders. It feels like this is the start of a new chapter.

Chance: Yeah, it sure does, huh? Hey, um, I’d love to stay and talk about it, but I got to get to this meeting with paul.

Abby: Yeah, yeah, sure. Good luck.

Chance: Thank you.

Abby: Love you.

Chance: I love you.

[ Doorbell rings ] Hey, man.

Devon: Hey.

Chance: Come on in.

Devon: Thank you. Thanks. Hey.

Abby: Hey.

Devon: Figured I’d come by and check on dominic.

Abby: Yeah.

Chance: Yeah, of course, of course. Hey, I meant to call you this morning, man. I just wanted to say thanks for listening last night.

Devon: Oh, yeah.

Chance: Sorry if I seemed a little off-balance.

Devon: Please, don’t apologize for nothing, man. It’s completely understandable.

Abby: You know what? We got some great news. The people who bombed chance’s safe house and their bosses, they have been arrested.

Devon: Really?

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: That’s fantastic news.

Chance: Yeah, you know, little disappointed I couldn’t finish the job myself, but, you know…

Abby: Oh, come on, you gave your people the information that helped arrest the perpetrators.

Chance: Yeah, you’re right, you’re right. That’s a good thing.

[ Chuckles ]

Devon: That’s a great thing. Really, it’s — we should celebrate it. You guys want to go and grab a bite or something or…?

Chance: No, I wish I could. I got to get to this meeting, so rain check.

Devon: Alright.

Chelsea: You have grown so much, but you look happy and healthy.

Victor: Well, now, connor, you tell her that is what life on the ranch does to you, right? I mean, fresh air, all this room to play games in, right? And grandparents who dote on you.

Connor: Now mom being here makes it perfect.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Good day for all of us.

Connor: Want to go down to the stables? I can show you my favorite horses.

Victor: You bet. This is your home. You do anything you want to, okay? You show mom around. Okay.

Adam: You had to know she was coming back at some point.

Victor: Mm. Was her sudden return supposed to shock us or what?

Adam: No, she’s actually been trying to get ahold of me for the last few days. I was always in the middle of something when she called.

Victor: I need to know what her return means to you.

Victoria: I’m so sorry that you had to deal with billy’s latest scene.

Ashland: Well, I don’t hold you responsible. I almost feel bad for him. As much as I hated the way billy used my history for blackmail fodder, it’s sad to see him falling back into his old habits.

Victoria: Well, it makes me even more certain that sending the kids to boarding school was the right thing to do.

Ashland: Well, now that we know what’s going on, you don’t have to keep worrying that billy’s up to something.

Billy: What are you worried about? I think that went great. I think victoria and ashland bought every minute of it.

Lily: Yeah, it’s just your drunken tirade felt a little too real to me.

Billy: Honey, I was just faking it.

Lily: I know, but the venom in your voice when you were accusing ashland, it was pretty chilling.

Billy: Well, ashland deserves everything he gets, and it was all part of the act. We know what we’re doing here.

Lily: I know, I’m just worried that you’re gonna get too caught up in this. Like, what if you go so deep into this facade that you lose sight of the goal?

Billy: I’m in control, okay? I’ve never been more focused in my life.

Lily: [ Sighs ] Okay, well, if that’s true, then there’s something I want you to do, and you’re not gonna like it. Super emma just about sleeps in her cape.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Adam: Listen, there is no future for me and chelsea as a couple. We’ll always be co-parents to connor, but we have done too much damage to each other to get back what we had before.

Victor: Right. I’m relieved to hear you say that, for your sake, okay?

Adam: Yeah, my primary concern is connor. And I know it’s gonna be hard for him to deal with his parents’ separation.

Victor: Well, he’s a strong boy. He’ll persevere.

Adam: Well, hopefully having chelsea back will help. He needs all the love he can get, especially from his mom.

Victor: Now, you know, she’s a fiercely protective mother, and I respect that. But, son, she’s toxic for you. As your relationship was toxic, as well.

Adam: As much as I appreciate the advice, I’m not crazy about getting love-life critiques from my father.

Victor: I am telling you for your sake. I’m supportive of you. Your work at newman media has been fantastic — very good. I’m very impressed. The thing that screws your life up is your romantic entanglements.

Abby: There you go. So, christine had some big news, but I have even bigger news in the life of dominic newman abbott chancellor.

Devon: Why? What’d he do?

Abby: He sat up today.

Devon: He did?

Abby: Mm-hmm.

Devon: Get out of here. Oh, my gosh. He’s advanced for his age, isn’t he?

Abby: Yeah, a little. It was very exciting.

Devon: Oh. I have to admit, actually, i probably could’ve seen this coming, ’cause while you were gone, he started working on doing that.

Abby: Really?

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: Oh, well, [Chuckles] Maybe we have a little gymnast on our hands.

Devon: Oh, man. Did you get it on video?

Abby: I did. I will text it to you.

Devon: Thank you.

Abby: So, you ran into chance last night? He was in such a rush to get to the station that I didn’t get any details, but how’d he seem to you?

Sharon: Thank you. Hey.

Rey: Hey.

Sharon: How’d it go with chance?

Rey: You can ask him yourself.

Sharon: So the conquering hero returns.

Chance: Oh, please.

Sharon: Well, rey told me a little bit about your mission.

Rey: Well, I can tell you more now. Chance just found out that all the criminals have been caught.

Sharon: That’s amazing.

Chance: Yeah, you know, just doing my job. A job I didn’t technically finish, so calling me a hero is a bit of a stretch.

Sharon: What you did is heroic in my book.

Rey: Mine, too. And, chance, you can be modest all you want, but I full intend to brag about my partner.

Billy: Please don’t tell me you’re gonna ask me to drop the plan again.

Lily: No, I’m not gonna do that. I’m on board. My mind hasn’t changed. I just — I want you to add a step.

Billy: Which is what?

Lily: I think you need to tell jack what’s going on. Let him know this whole thing is a charade. It’s not fair. I mean, I already feel bad that we’re lying to victoria. The look on her face? She was mortified.

Billy: Victoria sat back while ashland, victor, and adam tore me down. Okay? Why should I feel remorse about rubbing in the consequences of what they did to me in her face?

Lily: Because jack has nothing to do with that, okay? It’s not fair to let him think that you’re drinking and gambling again.

Billy: I see your logic and i understand your compassion, but my righteous brother is not gonna go along with this plan. In fact, he could blow the whole thing up. We were alone when my husband had the heart attack.

Devon: I don’t think it’s a secret that chance is still… trying to adjust to being home. You know?

Abby: Yeah, I mean, he’s admitted as much to me. I guess I’m just optimistic that he’s gonna get past this.

Devon: Can’t be easy for him to process everything that’s happened.

Abby: I hate that he keeps beating himself up over going away. And, yes, I understand that he feels bad that he wasn’t here for me and for mariah, but no one holds that against him. Everyone who loves chance understands the circumstances, and we know that he is dedicated to the greater good. I mean, it’s one of the things that I love about him.

Devon: I know. I know that, and maybe spending time home with you and with the baby that can sit up on his own now will make things a little easier on him.

Abby: Yeah. I just — I keep telling myself to be patient, that chance is gonna get back to his old self. It’s just gonna take longer than I thought.

Sharon: Chance, you may not think of yourself as a hero, but I think you deserve a free drink, and I own this place so I get to make the call.

Chance: Can’t argue with that, huh?

Rey: No.

Sharon: What can I get you?

Chance: Oh, I don’t know. I, um… you know what? Let me get right back to you. Excuse me just for a moment. Hey, christine.

Christine: Hi.

Chance: It’s good to see you again. I have to apologize to you. I was a little overwhelmed by the news earlier, and I forgot to thank you for everything that you did while I was gone.

Christine: I just tried to keep nina and abby up to date.

Chance: Well, you did much more than that. I mean, they told me what a great source of support and information that you were to them. So I thank you. I’m so grateful.

Christine: Yeah. I was happy to help, well, until my information became inaccurate. Breaking the news of your death to your mother and your wife was definitely one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do.

Chance: Yeah, I, uh…can’t even imagine.

Christine: I hate that they had to go through that, and it’s not like I’m blaming you. I know you had to do that for the safety of your family and the sake of the mission, it just…

[ Sighs ] It wasn’t easy at all.

Chance: Well, thank you again. I got to get going. Dom’s gonna be up any minute, but it was great to see you.

Christine: Okay.

Victor: Do you feel like going down to the stables?

Adam: No, I don’t want to be constantly hovering over chelsea’s shoulders. She deserves to have some alone time with her son.

Victor: Alright.

[ Cellphone chimes ] What’s that?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] It’s another video of billy from our anonymous sender, and it looks like it is not at a bar for once. It’s at the coffee house with victoria.

Victoria: I, um, I just wanted to see how you were doing.

Billy: Fair to middlin’. I’ll be much better once I get out of here and have a little something stronger to drink than coffee.

Victoria: A little early, don’t you think?

Billy: Oh, I don’t know about that. It’s cocktail hour in paris. Thinking after that, I’ll hit up a poker game and probably lose a small fortune. Then, maybe jump on a private jet and go to vegas and just lose myself entirely because that’s what you expect me to do, right? And I wouldn’t want to disappoint.

Adam: Billy is certainly fulfilling expectations.

Victor: Well, now, his downfall was predictable. But who the hell sent this to you? Can whoever it is be trusted? You have no idea who sent this to you.

Adam: Those are all great questions, and I don’t know the answers. But I will find out.

Victor: We had better find out.

Billy: I have good reason for keeping jack out of the loop. I know him. He’s gonna want to save me or, you know, help fix me, and that’s gonna add legitimacy to my downward spiral.

Lily: Yeah, but it’s also gonna inflict emotional pain on him. Jack is an addict, so if he sees you spiraling out of control and feels like he can’t help you, that’s gonna be really painful for him.

Billy: Yeah.

Lily: Do you really think it’s worth it to put him through that?

Billy: No, okay? It’s not ideal. But in the end, it’s gonna be fine because I’m not actually spiraling.

Lily: No, I know, but you’re lying to your brother, and he might not be able to forgive that. Look, just — it’s something to think about, okay?

Billy: Okay. I appreciate it, ’cause the fact is we’re in this together. So jack is out of town, and we will make up our minds by the time he gets home.

Lily: Okay, sounds good.

Billy: I have to ask you, is there another reason why you want to bring jack into our little circle of trust?

Lily: What would that be?

Billy: Someone else to hold me accountable just in case I do start falling apart.

Lily: No, I mean, it’s great, you know, to always have more people on your side, but, no, if you’re saying that you have things under control, then I — I trust you.

Billy: Thank you. Hold on a second. There’s a woman that’s about to sit down right now, I feel like she’s been following me for the last couple of days and I don’t think it’s a coincidence.

Lily: I think that actually might be sally.

Billy: What?

Lily: I mean, the disguise is decent, but I overheard her and adam talking about spying on you. That has to be her.

Billy: Wow. She has no idea that she’s playing right into our hand, does she?

Lily: What do you think we should do?

Billy: Let’s give her a show. How did olay top expensive creams?

Sharon: I’m just so happy that chance and abby have a happy ending to their story. It must be such a relief for them to be home and safe and able to move on with their lives.

Christine: Oh, I’m sure it is, yeah.

Sharon: Well, excuse me.

Christine: [ Sighs ] So, um…paul admitted he thought it might be a little too soon for chance to go back to work. What do you think?

Rey: Well, I don’t know enough to answer that question. I mean, this is only the second time I’ve seen chance since he’s been back home. Don’t get me wrong, I’m rooting for him to rejoin the force at some point, but…I don’t know if he’s ready.

Christine: He shouldn’t rush things.

Rey: I think the mission took a lot out of him — maybe more than any of us realize.

Devon: Mommy told me that you sat up for the first time, buddy. Good job! Such a good job, man. Aww. I know you’re happy that mom’s back. I hope you’re not tired of seeing my face, though, ’cause i tell you what, I’m gonna be visiting you all the time. Okay? That’s right.

Connor: That was really fun, mom.

Chelsea: Have I mentioned how much I missed you?

Connor: You have a bunch.

Chelsea: Well, get used to it ’cause you’re gonna hear it 100 more times.

Connor: Can you spend the night here with us tonight?

Chelsea: You know what? Now that I’m back, I am going to be staying at the penthouse, but we can plan lots of visits.

Adam: Uh-huh, and even though your parents aren’t together anymore, that does not change how much we love you, connor.

 

Chelsea: Nobody is more important to us than you are.

Victor: You just know that the whole family is here for you, okay? And soon we’ll go out riding.

Adam: You know what? Maybe you could stay with your mom in town tonight. You have a lot more catching up to do, right?

Connor: Yeah. Is that alright?

Chelsea: Nothing would make me happier.

Ashland: I refuse to worry about billy abbott. He’s lily’s problem, at least for now. I don’t know how long she’ll put up with his self-destructive streak.

Victoria: Yes, but I’m worried about her leaving him. You know, there’s only so much someone can take when billy careens off course.

Ashland: Which you know from experience.

Victoria: If she does leave him, billy’s gonna get a lot worse. Being alone without someone to rein him in, that’s an even more dangerous place for him to be.

Lily: I’m sorry, you’re carrying cards around as a prop?

Billy: Always be prepared — that’s my motto.

Lily: [ Scoffs ] You stole that from the boy scouts.

Billy: You gonna help me out?

Lily: Billy, please put those away.

Billy: What’s the big deal?

Lily: No, I’m serious. I’m not amused.

Billy: Lily, I can see you’re not amused. It’s not a problem.

Lily: Okay, gambling is not a joke, okay? Not something you just do casually.

Billy: We’re not gambling. There’s no literally no money on the table. I’m simply just feeling the cards.

Lily: Okay, you know what? That’s it.

Billy: Lily.

Lily: I’m done.

Billy: Hey, relax.

Lily: No.

Billy: Lily, come here!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Lucas: What makes you think your mom might be ready to give up on ej?

Allie: Like I said, I told her she’s obviously still in love with you, and she’s just too stubborn to admit it to herself.

Lucas: Oh, that obvious, huh?

Allie: Yes, dad. And I also told her that she’d end up a lot happier if she just dumped ej and went back to you.

Lucas: Yeah. And what did she say?

Allie: [Sighs] Well, she mostly listened, but she said she does love you. And I know she’s going to think about what I said.

Lucas: Okay.

Allie: I mean, it seems like a no-brainer to me. She walked in on ej in bed with nicole, and then he threw her out of his house.

Lucas: Right, right, right. No surprise there.

Allie: [Sighs] Right. And don’t get your hopes up, but I think there’s a decent chance that she’s signing those divorce papers as we speak.

Ej: What are you doing here, samantha? Do I have to threaten to throw you out again?

Sami: Oh, don’t bother threatening anything. I’m not going anywhere.

Ej: Then I’ll have to inform security that there’s an intruder in the house.

Sami: [Sighs] Ej, put the phone down and stop getting your knickers in a knot. I brought you something.

Ej: What sort of papers are those?

Sami: You know exactly what kind of papers these are, ej. They are the divorce papers that you promised to serve me with while you were in bed with nicole. Aren’t you gonna take them? What’s the matter with you? Just take the papers. What– well, ej… is this your wedding ring? The one that I gave you? What a surprise.

Ben: Dr. Evans is possessed by the devil for a second time?

Shawn: But you’re not marlena evans anymore, right? You’re satan himself.

John: [Grunts]

Marlena: Don’t listen to him, ben. John’s obviously gotten to him. But he hasn’t gotten to you. After the way your father treated you and your mother, you know never to trust an abuser.

Ben: Of course not.

Shawn: It’s all lies, ben. John has never laid a finger on marlena. That is the demon inside of her trying to get you to trust her. And marlena, marlena is my mother-in-law, and I love her. And if she told me that john were hitting her, I would believe her. But this? This is not her.

Marlena: I think the pronoun you want is she. He’s just trying to discredit me so nobody believes the truth of what I’m saying. Happens to women all the time. Look, ben, I don’t feel safe here anymore, okay? And I think you need to find your wife. So I think it’s time for us to get out of here.

Ciara: Thank you so much for calling me, susan. And don’t worry. I believe you now. I’ve locked all the doors, and no one is getting in here. Nobody is gonna get to me or my baby.

[Knock at door]

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

[Soft orchestration]

[Knock at door]

Belle: Ciara, it’s belle. Please open the door.

Ciara: Um… yeah, sorry, susan. Someone started knocking, and it’s belle. No, I promise I will not let her in unless I know that it’s really her. And thank you so much for calling.

Belle: Ciara.

Ciara: You take care, too. Okay, bye.

Belle: Are you okay?

Ciara: [Sighs] What is claire’s safe word?

Belle: What?

Ciara: Claire’s safe word– what is it? You’re not getting in unless you know.

Belle: Uh, it’s box top. Will you please just open the door?

Ciara: Hi.

Belle: Thank god you’re okay. Wait. How did you know about claire’s safe word?

Ciara: Shawn told me.

Belle: Okay, well he just called me, and the reception was terrible, but all I got was that you were in danger and that I needed to come right over. What is going on?

Ciara: Well, um, shawn is on his way to the cabin.

Belle: Okay. Why?

Ciara: Because ben is there. And as far as I know, he’s there alone with your mother.

Shawn: You two aren’t going anywhere.

Marlena: What are you gonna do? You gonna arrest us? You gonna victimize the victims?

Shawn: No, you are no victim. I’m going to untie john, and he’s gonna tell you the truth.

Marlena: And who are you going to believe, ben? Somebody you barely know or somebody you’ve known for a long time who believes in you, who has always helped you believe in yourself, right?

Ben: Right, but this is shawn. This is ciara’s brother.

Marlena: He didn’t think you were good enough for his sister. He still doesn’T.

Shawn: What the hell? I can’t get this gag off.

Marlena: Don’t listen to his lies or john’S.

Shawn: Listen, nobody is lying but her, because she’s scared to death of what john is gonna say about her. That’s why she locked him in that crypt and she left him there to die. Look, it’s true, all right? She wants john out of the way because he knows the truth. Look, all john wants is his wife back.

John: [Groaning]

Shawn: Damn it. Damn it. The loops just got tight again, didn’t they?

Marlena: He wasn’t even there. He doesn’t know what happened there.

Shawn: I was there on thanksgiving, and I saw it. I saw it up close. Ben, she had eyes like fire. And her voice, her voice was not marlena’S. Come on, john, hang in there. I’m gonna get you untied here. Come on. Come on. What the hell? The rope just–the rope just tightened up on its own again, didn’t it? Ben, ben, look at this. Look! She’s using the devil’s powers right now. After thanksgiving, I tried to take her down to the station. She broke the cuffs like they were toys, and she threw me across the dinner table, and she knocked me unconscious.

Demon marlena: And you went down like a ton of bricks. Serena: It’s my 3:10

Rafe: Why did you just slap me?

Nicole: Who the hell do you think you are, rafe hernandez? We are in the middle of the square, you idiot.

Rafe: Right.

Nicole: And you tell me that I’m too stupid to know my own feelings.

Rafe: I never said that you were stupid.

Nicole: And then you grab me and kiss me to prove your point? You know what? That makes you a jackass in my book.

Rafe: Okay. Okay, I was out of line.

Nicole: Oh, damn right you were.

Rafe: What about you, huh? Last night you acted like you wanted me to kiss you. Yeah, you did. Then ej came. He interrupted us. I find out that you hooked up with him. What am I supposed to think?

Nicole: That I had every right to do it because it’s my life.

Rafe: Okay. Okay, fine, all right? I’m sorry, really. It’s just… I got these damn feelings. I don’t know what to do with them, and… I think if you’re honest with yourself, you have them, too.

Nicole: And I keep pointing out that you are in a relationship with ava, who thinks you hung the moon, and I won’t hurt her. I have too much self-respect to–oh!

Rafe: To what? To be in a relationship with a man who has feelings for another woman… like ej?

Nicole: Just don’t ever grab me like that again, okay? Or I will tell ava.

Rafe: Okay.

Ava: Tell ava what?

Lucas: Well, thank you for going to bat with me with your mom. I really appreciate that.

Allie: Well, I didn’t just do it for you. I’d be really happy if the two of you got back together.

Lucas: Listen, allie, I would love it if you were right about your mom and ej. But I just don’t see her giving up on him that easily.

Allie: He’s been treating her like crap.

Lucas: I know he has. I agree with you. But you heard her. You heard what she said last night. Even though I’m the one who rescued her, I’m the one who saved her from those creeps who kidnapped her, she couldn’t wait to get back to him, just like always.

Allie: I know, but this time she caught him in the sack with nicole.

Lucas: Yeah, yeah, I know. I know. I heard about that. How’d you find out? How do you know?

Allie: Well, I came home, and I saw mom ready to scratch nicole’s eyes out.

Lucas: Well, see? There you go. That proves my point right there.

Allie: What point?

Lucas: The point is, look, when I first found out about ej and nicole, I thought, “yeah, this is it. Your mom is finally gonna give up on him.” But then I realized– I realized it was just wishful thinking. Listen, nobody knows your mom better than I do. And the fact that ej and nicole slept together is just gonna make her more determined to fight for her man.

Sami: Huh. Why were you clutching your wedding ring like it was something that was really important to you?

Ej: I found it in my sock drawer. I was about to throw it in the trash before you barged in.

Sami: Hmm. But you didn’t want to throw it away in front of me or anything?

Ej: I didn’t want to give you the wrong idea.

Sami: The idea that you still care about me? That kind of idea?

Ej: Weren’t you about to hand me divorce papers? Thank god you finally came to your senses, hmm? These aren’t signed. Let me get you a pen.

Sami: Don’t bother with the pen, ej, because I’m not signing them, not now, not ever.

Belle: Why is my mom at the cabin?

Ciara: Ben and I took her there.

Belle: Why?

Ciara: Well, because she showed up here on thanksgiving and she was being really frantic.

Belle: And that was on thanksgiving?

Ciara: Right. And, belle, she told us that john had been knocking her around and that she needed a safe place to go and hide.

Belle: My father would never, ever lay a hand on my mom.

Ciara: Right, right. But she said that it all started happening after john’s aneurysm, that his personality completely changed after that.

Belle: Wow. Well, she thinks of everything.

Ciara: We had no idea what was going on with her.

Belle: Do you now?

Ciara: Yeah. Yeah, shawn told me that she’s possessed by the devil.

Belle: Good. Well, I wasn’t sure how to break the news to you. So I’m glad he did.

Ciara: It’s really freaking me out, belle.

Belle: Yeah, me too. Believe me.

Ciara: And, you know, even when I didn’t know, I still had a really, really hard time believing that john would ever, ever hurt her. But then he came here. He showed up, and he was acting like a crazy person. He started pounding on the door. He started screaming like a maniac.

Belle: Yeah, I guess if she can turn susan banks into a cat…

Ciara: She did what?

Belle: Yeah, she can turn herself into my father to make you buy her story.

Ciara: Ben still doesn’t know. And I left him alone with her, belle.

Belle: Okay, maybe she wants to keep him thinking that she’s marlena. You know, she probably figures that ben will help her if she plays the victim.

Ciara: Mm-hmm. Yeah. No, that’s why–that’s why we took her to the cabin in the first place. But then she started getting really weird.

Belle: Weird how?

Ciara: Like, I told her that I had an appointment with my obstetrician, and she wouldn’t let me leave. I ended up sneaking out without telling ben or marlena.

Belle: Okay, good, good. You did the right thing. Oh, my god. I can’t believe I’m telling you you did the right thing by escaping my mom. Some thanksgiving, huh? Instead of eating turkey and watching football, we’re finding out that my mom is possessed again. Anyway, they have a apb out on her. I just don’t know what good that’s gonna do.

Ciara: I’m so sorry that shawn went there alone. You must be so scared. I wanted to go with him. I insisted to go with him, but he would not let me.

Belle: You’re pregnant, and he would want you to be safe.

Ciara: Yeah, he does. Belle, you’re not gonna believe this.

Belle: Try me.

Ciara: He told me that the reason why the devil possessed marlena… is because he wants my baby.

Ben: Dr. Evans…

John: [Muffled shouting]

Demon marlena: I’m not your precious dr. Evans.

Ben: What are you talking about?

Demon marlena: What are you missing here? You’re looking into the face of evil. It’s kind of like looking into a mirror isn’t it, ben?

Ben: I don’t know what you mean.

Marlena: When you came to me and you said that you were afraid you might pass on your evil to your child… oh… it was like music to my ears.

Ben: What the hell is she talking about?

Shawn: The devil wants your baby, ben. Yours and ciara’S.

Demon marlena: That’s right. I can’t wait for the birth of this precious child. I can’t wait for your baby to be born. Better skin from your body wash?

Ben: Susan banks told ciara and me that our baby was in danger, and we thought she was off her rocker, but it was you.

Demon marlena: A brain cell has been detected.

Ben: Dr. Evans convinced us that if we had this baby, everything was gonna be all right, but that was you.

Demon marlena: Absolutely right again.

Ben: And you did that because you want our baby?

Shawn: Why? Why? What is so special about ben and ciara’s baby, huh?

Demon marlena: I’m so glad you asked. This baby will be a perfect combination of brady goodness and weston evil. And I can corrupt that child to my black heart’s desire.

Belle: Oh, my god. So that’s why my mom was so excited when she found out you were pregnant.

Ciara: I am so scared. I’m terrified. And I have no idea what to do. What do I do? I can’t stay locked in here forever, belle.

Belle: Ciara, we know the truth now, and we’ll protect you. I’m gonna call shawn right now, actually.

[Phone beeps, line trilling]

Ciara: [Sniffles] Oh, god.

[Line beeps]

Belle: Straight to voice mail.

Ciara: Yeah, there’s not really much service up there.

Belle: Right. Well, I need to go up there in person, then.

Ciara: No. No, belle, you can’T.

Allie: If I found my husband in bed with another woman, I mean, I’d leave, and I’d never look back.

Lucas: Good, good. That’s exactly how I want you to act. But you’re my mom– she’s wired different, especially when it comes to ej. So she blames nicole and i for breaking up her marriage and not him.

Allie: Because of kristen’s letter?

Lucas: Yeah, yeah.

Allie: That’s so stupid.

Lucas: I know. Because she tried to burn it, and I’m the one who took it out of the fireplace.

Allie: Okay, yeah, but you threw it out. I mean, it’s not your fault that uncle philip gave it to nicole. Is there any word on him, by the way–uncle philip?

Lucas: No, no, he’s still missing.

Allie: And they think brady had something to do with it?

Lucas: Yeah, I guess.

Allie: Why?

Lucas: I don’t know. All I know is, is I was mad at my brother for interfering with my life. Now I might not see him ever again. My brother might be gone forever.

Nicole: Rafe was just telling me about philip’s disappearance. And I told him you should know.

Ava: Oh, why?

Nicole: Well, because you and philip are friends.

Ava: Well, I wouldn’t exactly call us friends. Business associates maybe. I already know about philip. Looks bad. I feel very sorry for his family, but, you know, working with philip, it turned out to be a terrible mistake. And I learned my lesson, and I already told rafe that I have put that life behind me for good.

Nicole: And rafe chose to stand by you.

Ava: Mm-hmm.

Nicole: And I think that’s wonderful. I mean it. I am so glad the two of you worked things out.

Ava: Oh. You’re such a good friend, nicole. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without you.

Sami: I’m not giving you a divorce. I will fight it with everything that I have.

Ej: So I gather. The question is, why?

Sami: You know why. I still love you. And I always will. And you love me, even though you’re being too stubborn to admit it.

Ej: I stopped loving you the moment you lied to me about lucas. I’m with nicole now.

Sami: Oh, nicole walker is a dime-store version of me. Why settle when you can be with the real thing? And you’re only with nicole because you know that it drives me insane!

Ej: There’s a host of other reasons.

Sami: Like what? She’s not smarter than me. She’s not better-looking than me, and she certainly isn’t more loyal than me.

Ej: She’s better in bed.

Sami: You did not just say that.

Ej: You’re the one who forced the issue. And it’s true… hotter, more experimental.

Sami: You son of a bitch. She is not hotter than me. Are you one of the millions of americans

Ava: I’m actually surprised to find you two together.

Rafe: Why?

Ava: Well, because you both said that you were gonna stay away from each other.

Rafe: Right, but you said that you were okay if we saw each other.

Ava: Oh, I know. I know, but you just– you said that you wouldn’T.

Nicole: Ava, it is the town square. We just ran into each other.

Rafe: Yeah.

Ava: Oh, it’s not a surprise. I mean, for a not-so-small town, salem is kind of incestuous.

Nicole: Well, I’m late for a meeting, so… let’s have coffee, okay?

Ava: Oh, sure. Yeah. Call me, okay?

Nicole: Yeah.

Ava: Yeah.

Nicole: Bye, rafe.

Rafe: Bye, nicole.

Ava: What was that all about?

[Dramatic music]

Sami: Well?

Ej: I’m sorry. I don’t feel a thing.

Sami: Oh, ej… your mouth can say whatever you want it to, ’cause your body is saying something else.

Ej: Please don’t throw yourself at me again.

Sami: I’m still your wife, ej dimera, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, until death do us part. You are never getting rid of me. That’s okay… ’cause you don’t really want to.

Lucas: Listen, my brother is missing, possibly dead. And either your grandmother is losing her grip on reality, or she’s really possessed by the devil. But either way, this is not the time to be worried about my love life, okay?

Allie: It seems like the perfect time to be focusing on whatever makes you happy. There’s nothing either one of us can do for uncle philip or grandma.

Lucas: Well, the one I feel sorriest for is john. I mean, he is so determined to find marlena, but what’s he gonna do when he finds her? I mean, what can he do?

Allie: Well, you said that he was the one who ended this last time. Maybe he can do it again.

Lucas: Yeah. I guess we can hope. All you and I can do is hope and pray.

Belle: I can’t just sit here, ciara.

Ciara: No, belle, it is bad enough that marlena can do something horrible to hurt ben or to hurt shawn. But shawn is a cop, okay? He has a gun. He can protect himself. Ben can protect himself. How are you gonna protect yourself, belle?

Belle: Ciara, you know, my dad keeps saying that love is the thing that can conquer evil. And I am my mother’s daughter, okay? That is the weapon that I have that shawn and ben don’t, and it’s time for me to use it.

Ciara: Okay, well, then I’m going with you.

Belle: No, that’s crazy.

Ciara: No, it’s not. It’s not crazy. I am the only person that the devil can’t hurt. I am carrying the baby that he wants.

Belle: You promised shawn you’d stay.

Ciara: No, I know I promised, but–

Belle: No, no buts, okay? You just stay here and lock the door. And, ciara, please, please no heroics, okay? You have to take care of that baby.

Ciara: Okay. Okay. Please be careful.

Belle: I will be. You lock the damn door.

Ciara: Yeah, like a locked door is gonna stop the devil from coming in.

Belle: Well, just do it anyway.

[Door closes]

[Suspenseful music]

Ben: I’ll never let you anywhere near ciara or our baby.

Demon marlena: [Laughs] You already have, you fool. Do you think you have any say in what happens next?

Ben: You already told me yourself that I’m evil. Maybe that’s what it takes to get to you.

Demon marlena: A necktie for the necktie killer. I always come prepared.

John: No, doc, don’t let him do it! Don’t let him do it!

Demon marlena: It’s done.

Trelegy for copd.

Sami: Oh, ej… come on. You know you forgave me for shooting you in the head, right? In the history of our relationship, me sleeping with lucas is like a three.

Ej: Twice. You went back for more.

Sami: Okay, a six. But really? The way you treated me after I sacrificed so much and spent years helping you become the man you are now– that is a ten.

Ej: Are you saying I deserved what you did?

Sami: Well, you did, and you know it.

Ej: Then why not just walk away? Be done with me.

Sami: Sometimes I wish I could. But even if I did walk away, ej… I couldn’t stop loving you. Worse than that, I don’t want to stop loving you. And whether you’ll admit it or not, I know you don’t want me to stop loving you.

Nicole: [Sighs] Oh, goody, look who’s back.

Allie: I pray every night for uncle philip and grandma. And I pray that mom comes back to you.

Lucas: I had no idea it was so important to you.

Allie: Look, mom and I have had our moments, like, every day of my life. But I had a front-row seat of the way ej treated her. I mean, he was pretty much a vegetable when she took him to italy, and you’ve seen him lately. I mean, she did all of that for him.

Lucas: Yeah, I know. I still don’t understand how he could treat her so badly.

Allie: Everything changed once he started getting a lot better. Like, if mom would tell him to take his meds or lie down, he would just tell her to mind her own business. It was like nothing that she ever did was right.

Lucas: Yeah, that’s what she told me.

Allie: She was so alone and miserable. And that’s why, like, her flipping out on you about the stupid letter, it’s just ridiculous. I don’t know why she holds you to such a different standard.

Lucas: Well, she always has.

Allie: [Sighs] And now I know that the day that ej kicked mom out of the mansion is the day that she got kidnapped. Obviously, mom was reaching when she pinned it on nicole, but what about ej?

Lucas: Yeah, what about him?

Allie: Think, dad. I mean, how do we know it wasn’t him?

Lucas: Well, I mean, I don’t know. Um, he said that it was over between them, and he kicked her out of the house. So why would he do that?

Allie: Do the wisconsin cops have any leads at all?

Lucas: Well, your mom was so hot to get back to ej that she didn’t want to go to the local police and make a statement.

Allie: Okay, well, did you make a statement? I mean, you saw one of those goons. You saw where they were keeping her.

Lucas: Yeah. I mean, I told the police. You know, they said they were gonna look into it and stuff. But I guess, because, you know, your mom wasn’t hurt that badly and she even came back to salem that they just lost interest in the case.

Allie: She was kidnapped, and nobody knows why. I mean, they could try this again, and this time mom– mom could get hurt.

Lucas: Listen, you know, a lot has happened in the last 24 hours. You know, I haven’t even had time to think.

Allie: Whoever ordered this kidnapping needs to get caught, dad. They need to pay.

John: Sweetheart! I know that you’re in there, and I know that you can hear me! And you know that I–

[Chokes] I can’t breathe.

Demon marlena: I think my work here is done. Time to be moving on.

[Suspenseful music]

Why don’t you give it up, fellas? Mere mortals are no match for me.

Belle: Oh, yeah?

Ben: [Coughs]

John: [Choking, wheezing] It’s my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on

Rafe: What was what all about?

Ava: Well, nicole was pretty upset when I showed up. And please don’t tell me that it’s because she wanted you to tell me about philip.

Rafe: Yeah. Well, um… yeah. Nicole’s back with ej, and I told her how I feel about that and him, and she didn’t want to hear it.

Ava: What’s wrong with her being with ej?

Rafe: Are you kidding? I told you about their history.

Ava: Yeah, and that was years ago. And, you know, they’ve both been through a lot. Maybe they’re both older and wiser.

Rafe: No, no. Ej is gonna be a disaster for nicole.

Ava: I think they seem like a great couple.

Rafe: Do you have any idea the things that he has done?

Ava: How much do you know about what I have done? You talk about how you believe that people can change. And it sounds like you mean it, but do you? Are you just telling me what you think I want to hear?

Ej: Nicole, I’m so glad you showed up.

Sami: Yeah, I’m sure he is, ’cause now he doesn’t have to admit that what I was saying was true…

Ej: Samantha was just leaving.

Sami: That he’s still in love with me.

Nicole: Okay, sami, you just keep telling yourself that.

Ej: Samantha lives in a world of her own making.

Nicole: Got to be a scary place.

Ej: [Chuckles]

Sami: It’s world ej can’t wait to get back to, isn’t it?

Ej: I am going to draw up some new divorce papers.

Sami: Oh, good idea. Then I’ll have something else to throw in the trash. Oh, and speaking of trash… goodbye, nicole.

Belle: Ah! I’m sorry, mom. I love you. Dad?

John: Honey. Izzy, izzy.

Belle: Oh, my god. Are you okay?

John: I am now, baby girl, thanks to you.

Shawn: He’s gonna be a lot better once we get him untied.

Belle: I’m so sorry I knocked mom out. I just–I didn’t know what else to do. I came here to tell her that I love her–like I could get to her that way.

John: You can, and you will, sweetie.

Ben: No, she won’T. She got away. I know where she’s headed.

Ciara: Oh, my–my god, I’m still wearing this thing. You said it would protect me. You said it would keep me and my baby safe.

[Sobs softly, sighs] Mm.

[Sniffles] I’m so sorry this is all happening, baby. But you are gonna be born perfect, and you are gonna be beautiful. And I’m gonna protect you with my entire life.

Ben: She’s after ciara. I’m gonna get there first.

Belle: Oh, my god. Can things get any worse?

John: Oh, yeah.

Shawn: She’s on the loose again. Does scrubbing feel like a workout?

Rafe: Yeah, I think people can change. Look at gabi.

Ava: This is the new and improved gabi? ‘Cause you certainly wouldn’t know it by how she treats me.

Rafe: Okay, that was a bad example.

Ava: If you were having second thoughts about us, you’d tell me, right?

Rafe: Well, yeah. Why are you even asking me that?

Ava: Oh, no reason. It just–it just occurred to me.

Nicole: So you’re drawing up new divorce papers. Is that why sami’s been going so crazy?

Ej: What do you mean?

Nicole: [Sighs] Well, I mean, she showed up to my apartment with fire in her eyes ready to rip me from limb to limb. And allie showed up, and she didn’t even care. I mean, thank goodness I got holly off to school.

Ej: Samantha’s deluded. She’s insisting that there’s still a chance between the two of us.

Nicole: Ej, that doesn’t surprise me.

Ej: She’s wasting her time. I found the woman I want… the one that’s perfect for me right now.

Nicole: It’s funny you should say that. I was just thinking the same thing.

[Chuckles]

[Dramatic music]

Allie: Hey.

Sami: Hey.

Allie: Uh, if you’re here for a round two with nicole, she’s not home.

Sami: Yeah. No, I’m not here for that. Belle left me a message, but she must have been in her car ’cause I could only hear, like, two words, but I think it was about my mom. Have you heard anything?

Allie: No, sorry, but come on in.

Sami: Oh, thank you. What are you doing here?

Lucas: Uh, visiting my daughter and my grandson. I’m allowed to do that, right?

Sami: [Scoffs] Of course you are.

Allie: So did you go see ej?

Sami: Yes, I did.

Allie: And?

Lucas: And?

Sami: Okay, look, I tore up the divorce papers that he served me with, and I’m not gonna sign them, not now, not ever. I’m sorry you don’t want to hear that, lucas, but I’m not giving up on ej.

Lucas: No, it’s fine. It’s fine. You do you. But just so you know, I’m not giving up on you either.

Sami: [Chuckles]

[Keys jingling, lock rattling]

Ciara: Who’s there?

Ben: Baby, it’s me.

Ciara: You stay the hell away from me.

Ben: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Baby, it’s me. I swear to god. You can put the bat down.

Ciara: How do I know that it’s really you. I mean, she turned susan into a cat.

Ben: Ciara… I would not hurt you in a million years. I love you so much.

[Bat clatters]

[Sighs]

Ciara: Oh, god.

Ben: Oh, thank god you’re okay.

Ciara: Honey, I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry I left without telling you. I’ve been so scared.

Ben: It’s okay. It’s okay. I’m glad you ran away. I’m glad you ran away, because I know everything now. And I should have listened to you from the beginning.

Ciara: How did you get away? Is shawn okay?

Ben: Yes. So are belle and john.

Ciara: Wait, john was there?

Ben: He got there right after you left. I got away because dr. Evans… the devil took off. And I thought she was headed straight here.

[Sighs]

Ciara: I’m really happy that you got here first.

Ben: Baby, I don’t know how to tell you this, but…

Ciara: I know. The devil wants our baby. I know. Shawn told me.

Ben: I’m just as scared as you are. But at least we’re together now. And I promise you I will not let anything happen to you or our kid, okay? We’re gonna make our way through this, okay? We’re gonna make our way through this, I swear. I swear to you.

Ciara: Okay.

John: Thanks.

Belle: Are you okay, dad? You just got out of the hospital.

John: Yeah, I’m fine.

Shawn: If you hadn’t gotten here when you did, she might have finished us all off. John, what made you show up here?

John: You said the last time you talked to your sister was thanksgiving. So I figured marlena probably got to see her, and the most logical place to start looking was right here. I thought that I could get through to your mother, but that damn demon sure shut me up in a hurry.

Shawn: And now we’ve lost her.

Belle: How are we ever gonna stop her?

Demon marlena: I should’ve dealt with belle long ago. Now it’s time she and her cop husband pay a heavy price. And I think I know exactly how to make that happen.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 you were right. I should have taken it easy, like you said. Just so frustrated about being on suspension. Now this is where you say, “you shouldn’t have punched valentin, chase.” Come on. I know you got an “i told you so” locked and loaded. Are you, um… implying I like to rub it in when you blow it? No, I’m saying you’re a know-it-all. You never miss an opportunity to trash-talk me. Obviously, something’s on your mind.

[ Scoffs ] You have got to be kidding me. Ugh. Terry: What’s going on? Stacey canceled the yoga class. It’s been a week since I’ve been able to take a class, and now it’s canceled? I was looking forward to it, too. Well… it looks like we have the room. And you are just as good as stacey. Why don’t you lead us through a class? Really? You think I’m that good? Absolutely. Tell her, elizabeth. Anything you need to move forward, I’m right here. Portia: Elizabeth? What? Are you up for a do-it-ourselves yoga class? Oh, I-I mean, I don’t — I don’t know. I-I guess. I think she’s gone straight to the meditation phase.

[ Chuckles ] What’s your mantra? I still can’t believe brad was paroled. Yeah. I wanted to throw the phone after I got the call last night. I don’t understand. After hearing your statement, I was totally convinced that brad would and should remain in prison through the end of his sentence. Well, ms. Wu had more pull than I realized. She obviously got to the parole board. It was a done deal before the hearing even began. It’s a good thing you suggested kelly’S. If we’d stayed home, wiley might have picked up on our anger. Lord knows we’ve had to sit on it a lot these last few weeks.

[ Both sigh ] We’re just going to have to figure out a way to make peace with brad being back in port charles. How long until he’s released? Uh, they told me within a few days. Whenever it is, brad better not come anywhere near wiley. Um, yeah, I-I’m not really feeling this. Uh, walking into carly corinthos’ restaurant right after being released is not a good look. Hold your head high. Sonny corinthos and i have an agreement. You do? About me? You have nothing to fear from sonny or his family as long as you don’t attempt to see wiley. Okay, I-I know I have no place in wiley’s life. And the last thing I want to do is cause him any more harm. I’m just grateful to have a fresh start, and I’m grateful for your help in making this happen, although I don’t know whether to call you ms. Wu or — or auntie. I mean, we’ve never even spoken before yesterday, but here you are collecting me from prison and taking me to breakfast. Call me aunt selina. That’s what I am. You’re my brother’s son. Since you were adopted, I wanted to respect your adoptive parents, but I’ve always kept tabs on you. So why have you reached out now? Well, it became clear you needed help when you went to prison. Now that you’re out, I can help you get back on your feet. Arrange for you to have a place to stay and a job. Wow. Thank you, but I fully — I see great potential in you, bradley, potential I want to encourage, if you listen to me. Britt! Brad?!

[ Laughs ] Hi! Whoa, what’s all this? Sam’s here, and is that molly? In the daylight? I must be hallucinating. Okay, yes, I know I’ve been working a lot, but this is my first solo trial, and I have to be ready. Alexis: I’m so proud of you. Really. I remember, oh, my first trial, how excited I was. I worked for days, for weeks. It’s — and I will have that enthusiasm again about something else when I — when I find the right fit. You know, I feel that rush when a case starts to come together. Maybe you will learn to love it as much as I do. Whoa, wait, you’re going to be a P.I.? You and sam are going to be working together? We’re thinking about it. Could be interesting. It’s a disaster waiting to happen.

Why did you choose an outdoor holiday fair when we could be inside the, uh, nice, cozy, warm restaurant?

[ Chuckles ] I like supporting the local artisans. And once I’m shopping, I won’t feel the cold. But if you’re cold, you can take off. Ah, I’m — I’m in no hurry, as long as I get to keep my arms around you. Aww. But then I’ll feel guilty, enticing you to slack off work. Entice away.

[ Laughs ] Go. I’m fine. Olivia should be here any minute. Well, have fun shopping. Thank you. Olivia: Oh, hey. Hey, honey, I’m here. I’m here. So sorry I’m late, but look who I found.

[ Laughs ] I just love a holiday fair. Mind if I tag along? The more, the merrier, right?

[ Both chuckle ] Oh, it’s so good to see you.

[ Both laugh ] When did you get out? This morning. I missed you at the hearing yesterday. Why weren’t you there? I m-meant to come, but there was a sensitive situation at the hospital, so… very sad, actually. But I guess my letter of support made a good impression on the parole board? Made an impression on me, too. And I’m gonna try to live up to those words. I know you will. Selina: Bradley, our table is ready. Oh, uh, right, uh, ms. — Uh, aunt selina, this is my best friend, britt westbourne. I’m very well aware of who dr. Westbourne is. Britt: You want me to abandon brad? I appreciate you looking after him now and then, but you’re no longer needed. Yeah, I had an interesting conversation with your aunt the other day. Yes. Our table is ready. And I don’t want to keep you. I’m sure you must be very busy. Um, actually, I have nowhere pressing to be, especially when my best friend just got out of prison.

[ Both laugh ] Whoa! Have you been working out? Stop. Come here, girl. Oh! I’ve missed you so much. Are you with me? Uh-huh. Yeah, I’m listening. I’m listening. Uh… valentin, right? Valentin. Well, who doesn’t want to punch that guy in the face? I’ve wanted to punch him a few times myself.

[ Chuckles ] I just hate knowing that I have six months of suspension ahead. I was just about to get out from behind a desk. I know. But, you know, isn’t it really the perfect time? You get to spend all this really good time with your new baby girl. Think about it. You know, I — I remember how things were with willow, right? There was a little tension there about you weren’t sure if you wanted to have kids or not. Now look at you. You and brook lynn, you have a beautiful daughter together. I mean, that’s got to be a lot to process, bro. Finn, stop. Stop looking for something that isn’t there. Bailey, she’s an amazing, beautiful, precious baby. And when I hold her, I want — I want nothing more than to protect her with my life. That — that sounds good. Yeah, but it seems like when you talk about your feelings about your daughter, you’re holding a lot of stuff inside. And, look, if you’re having doubts about being a father, that happens to all of us. You can talk to me. Actually, we were just looking over a missing person’s case. Todd worth’s daughter. Actually, it’s more of an estrangement than a missing person. Todd worth. Todd worth. Why do I know that name? ‘Cause he’s the cfo of d&e shipping partners. Were you aware? Yeah. So? Well, h-his company was responsible for the big oil spill in the arctic. D&e shipping partners have a horrible environmental record. I am kind of surprised you took him on as a client. I’m working for worth, not d&e shipping partners. Right, but what if he’s using you to find the whistleblower, claiming that she’s his daughter so you’ll find her? Do you think that I haven’t vetted my client to make sure that the daughter was real? Mom, I know how to do my job. Hmm. Three minutes. Longer than I thought.

Elizabeth, something is obviously on your mind. Are you sure you’re up for this today? Yeah, yeah, I-I am. I need this. Yesterday was an intense day. I can only imagine, especially with peter august being brought in while you were working. That must have been jarring to see him. Okay. Palms together. Interlock the fingers. We’re reaching down and up. Stretch. And release those arms slowly to the sides. Finn: Elizabeth. I reacted badly.

[ Sighs ] I’m so sorry. I wish I could have been there with you to support you. Me, too. It’s okay. Finn was there. He was very supportive and understanding. I felt like I could lean on him. Uh-huh. Sounds like the two of you are getting closer. I-I knew something was going on between you two. Well? I kissed him.

[ Both gasp ] Mm, highly recommend the french toast or the eggs benedict and the — whatever you’re about to say, yes. Everything looks amazing. I’m here for all of these things.

[ Laughs ] Watch out. You don’t want to ruin that beach bod you been working at.

[ Chuckling ] True.

[ Clears throat ] So, have you found a place to live? My nephew will be staying with me. Uh, for the time being. Mm. How generous. Mm, I cannot wait for you to catch me up on all the G.H. Goss. Uh, speaking of which, is, um… lucas seeing anyone? Bradley, it’s important for you to look forward, not backward. Who your ex-husband is seeing shouldn’t matter to you now. I agree, brad. You know I understand how hard it is to let go. But that’s what you should do now. Finally and completely. That means no holding out for hope, my friend. I know. I know lucas and I are over. What I did was unforgivable. Lying to him, to — to everyone about wiley being our son. Hey, hey. Just let it go. Guilt, the shame. I know you can get through this. And in time, people will forget all about what happened.

[ Elevator doors open ] Okay. What the hell are you doing here? I love this time of year, especially now with wiley. Oh, yeah, I’ve always loved christmas, especially when there’s little ones around. I already got all my christmas shopping done, but there’s always room for some stocking stuffers, right? Or that special something that catches your eye. Brook lynn: Have you bought a gift for monica yet? She’s always the hardest to shop for, but maybe if we put our heads together — michael and I already have something for monica. Oh, okay. Guess I’m on my own. Well, what about leo? He won’t stop talking to me about octopuses — well, octopi. I just want to get him, like, a cool t-shirt or something. Yeah, I know, he talked to me about it, too. You could try an online shop, I guess. Right. Okay. Okay, ladies, what’s going on between the two of you?

[ Sighs ] Willow hates me because of chase.

[ Scoffs ] You mean that willow is upset because you lied about bailey being valentin’s child when, in fact, it was chase’s daughter? Yes, that. I’m still processing. It’s hard coming to terms with what you put valentin and chase through. The whole family, actually. You said you’d get over it. Yesterday. It’s going to take more than a day for me to work it out, brook lynn.

[ Both sigh ] You just had to push it. That’s why you’re here now, isn’t it — ’cause you — you knew that i was coming here to meet willow. That’s why you practically knocked me down waving your arms around in the parking lot. I just want us all to get along for christmas. Yeah, I want us to get along for christmas, too. For all the holidays, actually. But it seems like maybe it’s an impossible dream when you’re a quartermaine. But you’ve forgiven me. I am being cool in the spirit of the season. I have not forgotten what you’ve done. And you can’t expect anybody, willow included, to just shrug their shoulders and go, “oh, well.” Okay, we are here to shop. I’m going to start over there. Uh, no. Let’s get everything out in the open. I have said everything I need to say. There is no room for you to judge me. You cheated on chase while you were still married to him.

you to knowthat I think you are such a competent and such a responsible P.I. A-and what you do, it’s just so necessary and important. You know, mom, you don’t have to placate me. I know that I’m good at my job, and I like what I’m doing. You’re terrific at your job. Not just good — terrific.

[ Sighs ] I’m oversensitive. I-I just don’t want you to wind up like me, ending up making the wrong choice, thinking you’re doing the right thing. What are you saying, mom? I just don’t trust my judgment right now, that’s all.

[ Sighs ] I lost my law license over neil. What was I thinking, right? So, you know, I get self-destructive when things get normal. Normal isn’t normal to me. Well, do you think that you’re the same person that you were when that happened? I’ve been through a lot, so probably no. So chances are you wouldn’t make the same mistakes, right? I mean, if a small child can learn not to touch a hot stove after burning themselves once or twice, I would think that your life lessons could impart some wisdom. One would think. No matter what, I will never be as wise as my “soon to be victorious in court” daughter.

[ Sighs ] You are such a show-off. What? Me? Yes, you.

[ Chuckles ] I got out this morning. My release was expedited. Yeah. And what did you do to leverage the parole board? Selina: I assure you, I did nothing. Yeah, we’ll see. And you had the audacity to come to my mother’s restaurant? Carly is the co-owner of this establishment. And the two of us are friends. Michael, can I speak to you for a moment, privately? Oh, yeah, most definitely. So what’s — what’s really going on here? Why are you using brad? If you’re trying to stick it to carly and sonny, clearly, you have no idea who you’re messing with. I thought I’d made my wishes clear. You have no place in my nephew’s fresh start. Yet here you are crashing our breakfast. Seems like we have a problem. You know, finding out you’re a father, it’s — it’s overwhelming, especially when you didn’t have nine months to wrap your head around it. No, it’s not that, I swear. I’m good with being bailey’s father. I know she needs me, and I want nothing more than to be there for her. In fact, I’m honored. Honored? Well, that’s one way of looking at it. A little detached, but honored is good. Okay, is there anything I can say to get you off of this? Okay. Alright, mr. Sensitive. I, uh — no more questions, alright? Well, just one. When do we get to meet her? I mean, dad and jackie would be on a plane so fast, it’d make your head spin back here. Which is precisely why I haven’t told them. Look, I’m — we are still settling in, and the quartermaines are a lot to handle. But I promise I will tell my mom and dad. Okay. Well, what about — what about violet? She was talking again last night about a baby sister. It’s her new favorite subject. Really? ‘Cause last time I talked to violet, she was going on about you and elizabeth. Something about wishing on a wishbone at thanksgiving? I’m sorry. Weren’t we talking about bailey? Actually, no. Now we’re talking about violet.

[ Sighs ] And you and elizabeth. How’s that? How’s that? Honestly, I — I don’t know how that is. I don’t even know what to say. I… there was one thing. She kissed me. That’s what I’m talking about. Go after what you want.

[ Chuckles ] If that is what you really want. I didn’t plan on kissing finn. It just happened. I think he was as surprised as I was. And then I ran out of his office. Oh. Well, I’ve been known to make a hasty exit, too. But if you would have stayed, maybe you guys — he would have kissed you back. That’s not where I was going with this. Well, we’ll never know, because all I could think about was getting out of there. Okay, I hear you. But maybe this is about more than just a kiss. I notice you’re still wearing your wedding ring. Yeah. I haven’t been able to take it off. I still love franco. I always will. Of course you do. That’s perfectly understandable and healthy. So should I be getting involved with finn if I still feel this way? You’re right. I wronged chase. I’m guilty of living a lie. Good. Then you realize you’re in no position to throw stones. My reasons for marrying and staying married to chase were a lot more complicated, and you know it. How do you know mine weren’t? Okay, okay, ladies, we’re standing out in the middle of rice plaza right now. Let’s just say that nobody has any room to throw stones at anybody else. Brook lynn, I personally feel that your lie had a bigger effect on the family as a whole. You may need to work a little bit harder to regain the family’s trust. I just wish for once, I would be the one to get the benefit of the doubt, especially because I was just doing what I thought was right for the family and to protect bailey. How could passing bailey off as valentin’s daughter ever be the right thing to do? How is that protecting her? You weren’t in my shoes, so you’ll never know what you would have done. Well, I know that I went to jail rather than tell shiloh where to find my son. You used your daughter as a bargaining chip. Oh, never mind. You’re right. You’re all right. Willow’s a better person than me. I’m just the family screw-up. Okay, okay, ladies, everyone just take it easy, okay? I didn’t pick this fight. Alright. But maybe we all just need to take a breath and cool down. Wow. Okay. Well, you still in the mood to christmas shop? I just need a minute. Okay, honey. I’ll be right over there, okay? Okay.

[ Sighs ] Willow? Hi.

What you guys are saying is true. After franco’s funeral, I felt like I was walking through a nightmare. Life didn’t feel real. And then I had to snap back for my boys, and it was off to the races. I mean, not that I didn’t welcome it — anything to keep me busy, anything to keep me from feeling the emptiness I felt when I closed my bedroom door. I even slept on the couch for a while, until I realized it was making jake and aiden really sad to find their mom there. You’re such a good mother. And you’re more than that, too. You’re a woman with needs, and being loved and letting yourself be loved is one of them. But is it fair to get involved with finn? Fair to whom? Um, finn? Franco? Myself? I don’t know. I don’t know what to feel and think right now. I am just so confused. That’s completely understandable. But as long as you’re figuring it out, there’s nothing wrong with taking it slow. Oh, well, there’s slow, and then there’s glacial. Okay, but that’s what I mean by fair. Should I be stringing finn along while I’m trying to figure things out? Finn is a grown man.

[ Chuckles ] And he can make his own decisions. It sounds to me like he’s decided that you’re worth the wait. No matter how long? Well — hey, I can see the two of you when you’re together. You both light up. There’s obviously a connection. I think if you’re honest with each other and talk about your feelings and concerns, it’s gonna work out the way it’s supposed to. What if we can’t? Talk about our feelings and concerns? Why would you think that? Because after I kissed him, neither of us knew what to say. I’m glad you and elizabeth are moving forward. Violet must be thrilled. Violet may be jumping ahead a few steps. What do you mean? You just said elizabeth kissed you. I mean, clearly, things are moving in the right direction. I don’t know. What’s the problem? Talk to me. I have no idea what the kiss meant to elizabeth. I — why? She go around kissing people all the time? I would hope not. No, of course not. She — it’s just, she was emotional at the time. She was going through something heavy, and then afterwards, she… ran away. Oh. Alright, well, that’s not the best response. No. No, it isn’T. Not good at all. Um, and now I’m just wondering if she didn’t feel like she got caught up in the moment and… now she regrets it. No. Absolutely not. I am not letting you do this again. Oh. Hi. I’m sorry, honey. You know what? I didn’t mean to bother you.

[ Chuckles ] No, wait. I’m sorry. I’m not — I’m not mad at you. I just…had a thing.

[ Sighs ] It’s good to see you. Really?

[ Sighs ] I’m really glad to see you, too. Um… I hope you don’t mind, but, uh, I couldn’t resist, and I got a gift for wiley. So, you know, you can tell him it’s from santa or whatever makes you comfortable. No, no, I’m not going to pretend you don’t exist for wiley. I want him to know his family, especially now that his other grandmother won’t be anywhere around him this year. Alright. What did I miss? Just a crisis of confidence. I’m all better. Okay, thanks for trying to help. Clearly, this P.I. Thing is not a good idea. Well, that means you’re not busy, right? You can look over my opening statement? Oh, honey, you don’t want my two cents. Uh, mom, I would love your two cents. Your 5 cents, 10 cents, 25 cents — s-stop — stop before she makes it to a dollar, please. Mom, you are the most amazing lawyer that I have ever known. Okay, stop. Hand it to me. Thank you. Thank you. Awesome. I thought you were an intelligent person, dr. Westbourne. Was I mistaken? Not at all. I am intelligent. And brave, loyal, and amazingly resourceful. That’s why I have no intention of abandoning my best friend. Bradley is with his family now. We’ll provide for him. A family he’s known all of, what, 48 hours? Come on. Let’s be real. Brad barely knows you. It’s time that changed. I don’t want any trouble with you or with your family. Oh, yeah? Then why have breakfast at my mother’s restaurant? That was my aunt selina’s idea, not mine. You know, your aunt selina has taken quite an interest in you. What — what does she expect in return? I’m not sure. I’m — I’m just glad to be out. Look. We both know that your father could have blocked my parole if he wanted to, but he didn’T. For whatever reason, sonny’s giving me a second chance. You are only out as a transactional arrangement between your aunt and my father. Right. Bottom line is my dad made a deal, but I didn’T. You get no second chances with me.

How have you been doing? Keeping busy. I’m enjoying my work at spring ridge, actually. Is that it, just work?

[ Chuckles ] Well, what else is there? Well, it’s good to have a social life, too. Don’t you have any friends? Mm, I tend to keep to myself. You know, my — my friend group was a little limited to begin with. And then after I got out of prison and dawn of day dissolved, I opted to stay away from that crowd, you know. Good decision. Mm-hmm. Still, it must have been lonely. Oh, don’t worry about me, willow. Yeah, I needed to focus on myself without distractions. And, you know, I respected your need for space, so don’t think I’m trying to make you feel bad or anything. I support the decisions that, you know, you made for yourself and wiley. I still — I’m sorry I overstepped and showed up at his birthday. We’re past it now. I’m happy you’re doing so well with michael and making a loving home for wiley. It’s important that we live our truth, isn’t it? And that’s what I intend to do. I want more out of life, and I feel more sure of myself. So, hopefully, when you’re comfortable, I’d like to have a relationship with my grandson and my daughter. You think that might be — be possible? Michael, I swear to you. If I even see wiley, I will turn around and go the other way. Never speak my son’s name again. Or I will end you. Where’s brad? Processing. I gave him a lot to think about.

[ Sighs ] Excuse me. You know, bringing brad to my mother’s restaurant was a sign of disrespect. You’d be wise to remember that. Mr. Corinthos, are you threatening me? I remember obsessing over a spontaneous kiss I gave curtis. I was mortified, and I bolted, too. Terry: Just talk to finn, biz. And say what? I didn’t know what to say then. I obviously don’t have the words now. God, it’s gonna be so awkward the next time I see him. You’re overthinking things. You probably both feel the same way. Terry’s right. Curtis wanted to talk about it just as much as I did. What did you say? We both said what we were feeling.

[ Sighs ] It’s all the what-ifs and the worst-case scenarios rolling around in your mind that will drive you crazy. You don’t need yoga to be still and listen to your heart. You just have to trust what’s there. It won’t steer you wrong. Great job laying out the evidence, but don’t get too detailed, ’cause it’s just the opening. Right. And I think admitting that the neighbor is an unreliable witness, that’s kind of gutsy. Well, I know, but the defense is gonna go after her, and I was trying to draw the — no, no, no, no. It’s a good strategy. It is. But, um, maybe if you… just ignore me. You’ve got your own style, honey. Really. You got this. You’re gonna be great. Really? Mom, thank you. It is so good to have you back. I second that. I third it. And, mom, if private investigation isn’t your thing, I’m sure we can come up with something that you will enjoy. Unless you want to chill. I mean, you just got out. There’s no rush. You know, maybe you should just take your time. Mm. I have an errand to run. Wait, I-I thought you said you had the morning free. Mm, I forgot that I had something I got to do, and I could use a little fresh air. But thank you, guys. Oh, thank you so much for everything, for your help, for the food, for your love. We do love you. And we support you. And we’re here for you. I know that. Whatever you need. I love you. I love you. -Love you. -Love you. Okay. Bye. Okay, we need to get a few things straight. Look, I get why you’re gun-shy with how things ended with anna, but I’m not gonna let you talk yourself out of something potentially great with elizabeth, for both you and violet. That’s exactly what I have to be more careful this time, alright? Violet is becoming very attached to elizabeth. As are you. It’s why that kiss rattled you so much. Ah, it’s just so confusing.

[ Sighs ] Elizabeth, she’s become this — this really, really good friend, and we work together. We work really well together. I don’t want to ruin all that. So that’s why you let her run out without following her? First, I was in shock, you know? I mean… her lips… and then second, I didn’t want to push. Okay, well, there’s — there’s pushing her away, and there’s letting her know you’re still interested. You deserve to be happy, finn. Doesn’t elizabeth make you happy?

[ Door opens ]

[ Sighs ] There you are. Why haven’t you answered any of my texts? Because I don’t keep my phone on me in the steam room. You know, the men’s steam room, the place you really shouldn’t be in? I’ve seen it all before. Well, that may be true with chase, but — never mind. I’m leaving. Hey, you know, um… my brother’s a good man. Bailey’s lucky to have him as her father. You never should have kept her from him. Message received, over and over. Your towel is slipping. Oh. That. That is exactly the problem. What are you talking about? You need to defend me.

I’m not sure what to make ofmy aunt’s sudden interest in me. She’s kind of scary. I think she’s definitely used to getting her own way. Yeah. When we had our little chat, she threatened me, telling me I should stay away from you. Are you gonna listen? Mm… of course not.

[ Laughs ] You forget yourself. There’s an agreement in place with your father. No retaliation against my nephew. Well, the agreement only lasts as long as brad stays away from my family. Hey. Ladies, everything okay over here? Yeah, yeah. My mom and i were just getting caught up. Okay. I’ll find you in a minute. Okay. It’s really nice to hear you call me mom again. Um, here’s wiley’s present. Uh, keep it. Maybe we can arrange a time when you can give it to him yourself.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, anytime. I have zero plans.

[ Chuckles ] You’ll be alone during the holidays? Oh, my gosh. I’m fine, willow, really. I’ll just be counting down the days until I can see my grandson. I’ll speak with michael, and I’ll let you know when we can set up a visit.

[ Sighs ] Thank you, baby. You have given me the best present of all. Bye, mom. Bye. Hi. Hi. I thought you weren’t working until this afternoon. I’m not. But I wanted to see you. Oh, you guys, I didn’t expect mom to sign on as a partner forever. I just wanted to give her something to do. She’s floundering without a purpose. Well, I wish you would have given us a clue. I wouldn’t have opened my big mouth. Are you really that worried about mom? This is a really hard time for her, and she’s vulnerable. And if we don’t help her find her way, who will? Alexis. Whoa. I almost didn’t recognize you without the fluorescent light. Yeah, you too. Yeah, it’s nice to see you out in the wild. Yeah, I break free every now and again. So, how are you coping now that you’re back? I got to be honest, I’m not quite sure what I’m to do with myself. Yeah, I get that. I usually dive into work, but I am resolving to find more balance. So if you are in need of a friend, I’m available. Do something. About what? Everywhere I turn, I’m getting grief. Even willow is mad at me, and she gets along with everyone. Okay, I don’t know what you want me to do. I’m supposed to be the injured party. This was your idea. Not all of it. Well, I am tired of being painted as the bad guy when all I’m doing is protecting bailey. God, it is sweltering in here. I thought you were just coming to the gym to work out. I was, but then my shoulder hurt, so I thought I’d steam. How did you find me? The attendant told me. Whew. Okay, well, not to be a prude, but can we discuss this after I’m showered and changed? Gladly.

[ Clears throat ]

[ Door banging ] The door won’t open. I think we’re stuck in here.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Steffy clearing throat]

Steffy: Can we get in on this family reunion?

Thomas: Hey, mom.

Taylor: Thomas! Oh my gosh! Thomas! Sweetheart.

Thomas: It’s me.

Taylor: It’s really you.

Thomas: I missed you.

Taylor: I’ve missed you too. Sweet boy, oh my!

Brooke: I think ridge knows what it takes to hold the family together. It may not always be possible, but if you have enough grace and enough forgiveness, I think that you can get through anything.

Katie: But do you really think that ridge can forgive deacon and accept him into the family?

Brooke: Oh, I certainly hope he can. Because I love my husband. And I also want to support my daughter, and I hate seeing them at odds. And I just… I don’t want to think what could happen to my family if ridge doesn’t accept deacon in it.

Deacon: So, being a rat in prison can get you killed. But I’m going to tell you about one that could save your life. R.A.T., Rapid assault techniques. These are quick, explosive moves, overpowering. Powerful, effective. No nonsense. Just like you, kid. Okay, so for instance, you can do a spearhead to the larynx, disrupt the oxygen flow. Follow it up with an elbow strike to the nose. Wait, did somebody not pay the electric bill because it’s lights out?

Hope: Um, okay? Can you show me something even flashier?

Deacon: Um, yeah, sure. Okay, uh, here, I’ll show you a spinning back fist, okay? Okay. One, two three. Okay?

Hope: Now that is what I’m talking about!

Deacon: All right. All right, now it’s your turn, hotshot, let’s see it. Focus. Yeah, pretty good. Yeah, that’s good. Make sure your elbow comes around first. See the target. Boom. There you go. Excellent.

Hope: You make it seem easier than it actually is. I guess I just need to take more time.

Deacon: All the best things take time.

Hope: Okay.

Deacon: So, I-I’m curious, what got you into self-defence?

Hope: Well, I don’t know, dad, maybe it’s in my dna.

Deacon: No, I’m serious. Nobody’s bothering you, right?

Hope: Oh, no, no.

Deacon: Okay.

Hope: I mean, I’ve always taken workout classes, like pilates and weightlifting, but something about martial arts, I just keep coming back to it. It gives me confidence.

Deacon: Well, you’ve already got a ton of that.

Hope: I just, I think it’s important as a woman to feel strong and secure not only just in the class, but also out in the world and, and in my work.

Deacon: Yeah, I mean, it gives you an edge, right? Precision, focus.

Hope: I like knowing how to defend myself. But what about you? How do you… hold back?

Deacon: Oh. You’re talking about ridge. Ah, well, I guess the student acts on impulse and desire, and the teacher has the discipline not to. All right. Let me see what you got. Give me that thing.

Hope: Oh gosh. Okay.

Deacon: I want to see your very best spinning back fist. All right, ready?

Hope: Okay.

Deacon: Let’s do it. Yeah, that’s good, one more time. You got it. Don’t get dizzy. Oh, nice. Very nice.

Hope: Getting there. Ah.

Brooke: Hope and deacon are bonding.

Katie: I know you want to be supportive of your daughter, but ridge’s attitude is making that complicated.

Brooke: It shouldn’t be. Every child deserves to know their parents. And I was skeptical when deacon came back into town, I thought maybe he would have ulterior motives, but I haven’t seen anything like that from him.

Katie: But ridge has?

Brooke: I think he’s just trying to be protective.

Katie: Because of what happened with you and deacon before, when he was married to bridget?

Brooke: He can’t seem to get past it. And it hasn’t been an issue for us for a long time, and now…

Katie: Well, deacon is back. He’s a constant reminder of the affair.

Brooke: Yeah. And I don’t want the past to be painful for my husband. I just love him too much. But I’m certainly not going to deny my daughter the right to have a relationship with her father just because ridge doesn’t approve.

Taylor: I can’t believe we’re all in the same room.

Ridge: It’s a beautiful sight.

Taylor: Video chat is awesome but this is so much better. Look at you!

Steffy: Mom’s going to ask about the hair.

Taylor: Okay, I’m not now. You look very handsome,

Thomas: Thank you.

Taylor: Yes, ah! Both my kids healthy and happy.

Thomas: Well, you look great too, doesn’t she, dad?

Taylor: Okay, well, your father already told me, I look hot.

Ridge: What makes you– I’m not opposed to saying it again. Yes, you look hot as ever.

Thomas: There you go. These little cups would make

Hope: Yes, so, I’ve dabbled for a while, but then I would get busy and I’d have to cut back and I’d get out of practice.

Deacon: But it seems like you always find your way back to it.

Hope: Well, yeah. Now that beth is older-

Deacon: You have more time.

Hope: And a motivation. You know, I want her to see me as an empowered woman and self-assured and able to handle any situation and set a good example.

Deacon: That’s exactly what I want for you. I think that’s what any good parent would want. Unlike me, but-

Hope: Dad, I didn’t mean-

Deacon: It’s cool. Look, your kids, they absolutely look up to you. You’re an amazing mother.

Hope: Thanks. Well, I work at it. It’s kind of like this, what you talked about. Like with your form, with a kick, it might be difficult at first, but then you do it over and over and over and over again, and then it just becomes… natural.

Deacon: You think that’s what it takes to be a good parent?

Hope: I do.

Deacon: Well, maybe there’s hope for me, after all. You know, martial arts is, well it has been one of the few constants in my life, even in prison. Yeah, not trying to sound like a tough guy, but it saved my butt a couple of times. I just never thought that it would bring us closer together.

Hope: Well, it’d be great if it did.

Deacon: Yeah.

Hope: So, are you going to show me some more moves?

Deacon: Nothing would make me happier. But first, I want to see your best move, all right? Now, listen, don’t hold back. All right? So, what would you do if I just came right into you?

Hope: Ah!

Deacon: Now that’s what I’m talking about, yeah! Good shot. Look at you. Nice.

Hope: You good?

Deacon: Good punch there. Yeah, good.

Katie: You know, I guess hope missed deacon a lot more than we all realized.

Brooke: His absence left a void.

Katie: One that we’re all too familiar with.

Brooke: I really think he’s making an effort. But will it last? I don’t know. And I hope so, for hope’s sake. She really wants this. She wants her dad in her life. She wants to get to know him.

Katie: I’m sure hope sees this as an opportunity for the three of you to be a family.

Brooke: Well, like you said, it’s a little complicated. I don’t want this to make ridge feel threatened at all, and he shouldn’t be. But we both have children from other relationships. And I’m not threatened by his family with taylor, thomas and steffy.

Steffy: Oh, this feels like a real family reunion.

Thomas: Uh, you know, douglas is going to be so excited to see you. He loves you so much. You know, maybe I should… I should call hope. Pull him out of school early.

Steffy: Playing hooky to see grandma. I like it.

Taylor: No, no, no, no, no. I can wait a few hours. I know how much douglas loves school.

Ridge: He does. It sounds like another forrestor’s headed for higher education.

Thomas: Yeah. Or he’s heading to mars.

Taylor: Oh, I want to see a space project. He told me all about it on the last call. We always have so much catching up to do. I don’t get to talk to him enough, you know?

Thomas: Well, I mean, you’ve gotten to talk to him every time he’s with me, right?

Taylor: Yeah, yeah. But are you seeing him more?

Thomas: Uh, about the same.

Taylor: Does that bother you?

Thomas: I mean, look, he will see me more when I finally get my own house, right? I still have to talk to hope about that, but yeah.

Taylor: Well, hope has legal custody and that’s understandable, yeah. And I’m just, I’m surprised that it hasn’t been amended by now. You know, you’re doing so good. And, well, douglas is not a logan, he’s a forrester, so he should be spending more time with you.

Thomas: Hm. Maybe it’s another refill at your favorite diner…

Deacon: Show me the round kick. Yeah. Oh, yeah! Oh, you’re getting it. Damn!

Hope: You make it seem easy.

Deacon: It’s not, but you’re a quick study. Wow. Just, okay, just chamber your kicks. Don’t overextend on your punches and just pay attention to the details. You know, it’s the little things that make all the difference. The little things make all the difference – it must sound like a complete platitude coming for me.

Hope: No, no, dad. I know exactly what you mean, and I can see that you are making an effort.

Deacon: Spending time with my daughter is not hard work.

Hope: Really?

Deacon: Yeah.

Hope: Well, then maybe I need to make it more of a challenge.

Deacon: Oh, snap! Let’s go. What you got, sucka? Let’s see it.

Hope: Hwah!

Brooke: Hey what’s going on? I don’t know if you guys are getting along or trying to knock each other’s heads off.

Hope: Oh, no, dad is just helping me with my form.

Brooke: Oh, I didn’t know you were doing martial arts again.

Hope: Oh, just getting back into it.

Deacon: You know, she’s a natural. Like father, like daughter.

Thomas: Okay, look, we’re, we’re all family to douglas.

Taylor: I know. I know. I shouldn’t have said it like that. Logans versus forresters.

Thomas: It’s just not that way anymore, at least not with the kids and their parents.

Taylor: No, I know, I know. And your children are so lucky to have so many people that love them.

Ridge: And that’s it. That’s our focus.

Steffy: Yeah, but mom, we’re not the only one that thinks thomas should spend more time with this son.

Thomas: I see him as often as I can, sis.

Steffy: Well, you have to ask liam and hope, and that’s not okay. It’s really sad because you’re such a good dad.

Thomas: Okay, look, um, hope stepped in and she filled a role that was necessary. It was a void in douglas’ life, and I’m forever grateful to her for that. And look, I love that kid more than I can put into words.

Ridge: Hey, he loves you, looks up to you. Should see the two of them together.

Taylor: No, I have on video chat. You can feel the connection.

Thomas: Yeah. Well, look, it makes sense for him to be with hope, right?

Ridge: It does, because you’re in between the houses right now.

Thomas: Exactly. And once I have a new place, I’ll spend more time with him.

Taylor: Okay, I think that’s wise for both of you.

Thomas: Look, thank you, mom, for pointing out what I actually have to, to give douglas. But, I, I, I got to regain my balance, you know, and make some healthy changes in my life.

Taylor: But honey, you are.

Steffy: Yeah, we all see it.

Thomas: Look, I’m very grateful for all the, all the help you’ve given me.

Taylor: I knew that you’d get through this.

Ridge: And he did and we’re all very proud of you.

Thomas: I had a lot of support. And you know what? I want to… I want to be good to douglas. He’s such a motivating factor in my life, I want to be a positive force for him.

Ridge: You know, it’s your mom who got you here. All right? She believed in you when you didn’t believe in yourself, and I will always be grateful for that. We missed having you here. I don’t know how you do it, but you pull this family together when we’re in trouble. I look at us now, and, we’re in a good place. And a lot of that is because you.

Ooh

Brooke: Okay, okay, wait, wait, hang on a second. Are you sure this is safe? I don’t want you to hurt each other.

Hope: Oh, we’ll be fine unless dad lets his guard down.

Deacon: Yeah, I gotta stay on my toes with lightning fist logan over here. All right. Ready to show her?

Hope: Okay.

Deacon: Okay. There you go. Good. Very good at this.

Brooke: Wow.

Deacon: See what I mean? She’s a natural.

Brooke: Yeah, that’s, that’s impressive.

Hope: Well, you should’ve seen dad earlier. He was really putting on a show.

Brooke: Oh, imagine that, deacon sharpe, showing off.

Deacon: I was giving my kid a couple of pointers. That’s all.

Hope: Dad actually was a very good teacher. I don’t know. Maybe you could show mom a few moves. Some simple self-defence techniques.

Brooke: No, no. I’m fine.

Deacon: Besides, I don’t think brooke needs martial arts, she could stop a guy in his tracks with just a giggle.

Brooke: Oh!

Hope: He makes it sound like a superpower.

Deacon: I’d say it’s more like kryptonite.

Brooke: Well, I don’t really use that on everybody. Okay. That’s it. Show me a couple moves.

Deacon: It’s on now! All right. Okay, let’s start with basic fighting stance. Okay?

Brooke: Okay. So, like this?

Deacon: Pull your elbows in a little bit.

Hope: And then make sure your face is- your hands are up.

Deacon: Yeah. You wanna protect that beautiful face.

Hope: And then you’re going to just step into the punch.

Deacon: Okay.

Brooke: Okay.

Hope: So all your power goes in.

Brooke: Ready?

Deacon: Let’s go. She’s pretty good, right?

Brooke: No, no. It’s going to take me a while to get as good as you two.

Deacon: Well, okay, maybe hope got her fighting spirit from me, but she definitely got her grace and her strength from you. I’ll tell you, our girl here is pretty incredible. She’s focused and she’s ferocious. And doesn’t take any any grief, just like her mother. You know, I know I wasn’t around when you were a kid, but nobody, nobody could have done a better job of raising you than your mother. You have to know this, that there is absolutely nothing that you can’t accomplish, and that’s largely because you were raised& by a woman who just got a black belt in overcoming obstacles. And I know that we joke a lot about having similarities, but believe me, I’m so grateful that you took after your mother. Part of the reason that you’re this intelligent, incredible woman is because of the way brooke raised you. I’m just so proud of you.

Taylor: I’m sorry, I had to peek on them again.

Steffy: I’m sorry, they’re still sleeping, I think it’s from all the excitement of seeing you.

Taylor: Yeah, they’re just, they’re so adorable. I could just, I could squeeze them forever and not let them go. Douglas, too. And I’m so excited to officially meet finn.

Steffy: Yeah, finn has that long shift at the hospital.

Ridge: You remember those days, right?

Taylor: I do. They prepared me to be a parent.

Steffy: Finn says the same thing!

Taylor: Oh, he seems like a really good husband and a very good father.

Steffy: Yeah, I’m really blessed to have found him.

Taylor: You’re off to a good start.

Steffy: Yeah, everything feels good. I mean, we have our challenges. One challenge, really.

Taylor: Ugh, sheila. I still can’t believe she’s his biological birth mother. I was so worried when you were all going through that, I wish I could have been here. For the good things too, like to celebrate your wedding and welcome hayes.

Steffy: Mom, we understood.

Ridge: If anybody understands, it’s us. We know what it’s like to commit to something.

Thomas: Yeah, and what you do is so important.

Taylor: So are all of you.

Ridge: Oh.

Thomas: Oh, boy.

Taylor: I’m so sorry, this is, this is jet lag. I think it’s catching up on me. I think I need to go.

Steffy: Go? Where are you going?

Taylor: I’m just, I’m going to go to the hotel. I booked a hotel.

Steffy: No, no, no, no, no, you cancel it. You’re staying here.

Taylor: What? No, I couldn’t do that to you. You and finn have busy schedules, a house full of kids.

Steffy: The kids love hanging with you. And selfishly, I want to hang with you, too.

Taylor: She’s not going to take no for an answer.

Ridge: No.

Taylor: Okay, I, this is everything that I, that I hoped for. A real homecoming. I get to see my kids healthy and happy. Our children are raising children. It’s so beautiful!

Thomas: No, for us too. And so make yourself at home. We expect you to stay a little while.

Steffy: Yeah, we have so much to catch up on. I have videos, photo books. This is so nice. It just feels right. We feel like a family again.

Taylor: Yeah.

Ridge: Well, you remember what your mom used to say, it’s not a family moment without a family hug.

Thomas: Right, come on. Better skin from your body wash? cbs. Cbs. Cbs. Considering P.M. 4ed this holiday season…

Interview with Yael Stone, Rob Collins and Shantae Barnes-Cowan

TV Interview!

Interview with Yael Stone, Rob Collins and Shantae Barnes-Cowan of “Firebite” on AMC+ by Thane 12/9/21

This was my second interview for TVMEG.COM and I thoroughly enjoyed it. There was a small panel of press asking questions; two of them are mine (they have my name on them).

Question: Can you start by talking about what it was that first attracted you to the show, why you wanted to do it?

Rob: I can take that first. Warwick Thorton, I’d always wanted to work with him. I got a small taste of it on an Australian series called Mystery Road, the second series. He’s kind of just one of our go-to amazing directors. So, there was that and vampire killer. So, those two things combined, I just had to do this project.

Shantae: I auditioned at the start of the year on another project, and I met with Warwick. That was my first time meeting him, and he sort of gave me a little [bit] inside of it, and it sounded really cool, so I was up for it. And I heard it was gonna be really big. [laughs] So, yeah, I got really excited. I still can’t believe I won the role of Shanika, because I heard hundreds auditioned for it, but I’m happy I did, because it turned out really fun and deadly. [laughs] So, yeah, and I’m happy.

Question: All right. What about you, Yael?

Yael: I guess I should say that we’re so lucky that Shantae won the role as well, because she’s incredible in the show. Also, Warwick [was] definitely a massive kind of draw card for this project. And the scripts that I was sent were just so fascinating. I just felt like we have not done this before. We’ve not addressed Indigenous Australian history and a kind of violent colonial Australian history in this way before, using a vampire metaphor before, and I think it’s extraordinarily creative. It’s a really clever way in telling that story, and it’s got heaps of joy and laughs and fun, and then, at it’s heart, it’s got this incredibly powerful and incredibly serious metaphor as well.

Question: So, the question is, since, just like you mentioned, that was rather ambitious and probably the first of its kind in it’s take… [of] colonial exploitation and native history and racism, and combining it with elements of fantasy, like vampires and monster hunters. So, I wanted to know, what are your thoughts on it?

Rob: Speaking of fantasy, I mean, growing up in Australia, you are told a particular version of our colonial past, and that was certainly true for me. And like anything, it’s only as an adult, that you get time to sort of reflect on things, and as an indigenous man in Australia, what that kind of really means. So, I’d have to say, for me, in particular, that sort of revelation came through sort of in my mid 20s, and now, being a 40-year-old man with kids of my own who are indigenous, I think it’s important to give them a true sense of their place in this country. And I think at the heart of it as well, that’s what Warwick, I think, is trying to tackle in this series. So, for me, it was vitally important. I mean, I made the quip earlier that it was working with Warwick, and it was vampire hunting and all that kind of stuff that drew me to the role, but I think this idea of rewriting history kind of, in a sense, I found really kind of cool, because when you talk about fantasy, there are a few fantasies that we as everyday Australians accept as fact. And in fact, it’s such a powder keg here in Australia that I think this series is really going to agitate in a good way, and like the best series do, get you to think about, “Well, what is your accepted version of this country and your place in it and your family’s place in it and your forebearer’s place in it?” I think it’s a really timely discussion to have, and as genre does in its best way, it’s kind of subversive in that way, because it’s killing and it’s vampires; it’s action, and it’s fun. It’s laughs; it’s explosions and amazing sets, but then we’re able to sort of snake that that key message in amidst all the chaos.

Shantae: Yeah. Sort of what Rob was saying, the history of our culture and our land, you know, getting invaded, and from the white men, I think it’s important to tell, because as blackfellows, we’re strong about that. It’s our past; it’s our history, and it’s our culture, and we, as a culture, are proud. To tell it and show it to the world, I think is pretty cool, to show in this way, as well as the vampires. For me, it’s like the vampires feeding on blackfellow blood is sort of like, that is invasion for our culture. That’s how I see it, and it’s just cool to tell in that way. I think the world is gonna love it and our culture and our story.

Yael: I don’t know if I could answer the question any better than that. So, maybe I’ll take a different angle and say, it’s also fascinating; think about it, landing in an American audience first, and then across the world, potentially. I lived in the States for seven years, and I always felt there was this strange absence of a discussion in the kind of mainstream media about the Indigenous stories of the states. And I wonder, Rob said, maybe it’ll be a bit of a “powder keg for Australia moment;” maybe it sparks discussions elsewhere as as well, because these fantastical histories exist everywhere, and the more we face them, the more we can can address some of the healing that needs to happen. So yeah, maybe we’re putting a little match to the powder keg.

Thane: Thane here from TVMEG.com. Question to everyone: What training did you have for the fight scenes?

Rob: Training for the fight scenes? Well, actually the first week, Shantae, wasn’t it? We got in –

Shantae: Yeah.

Rob: They made us do awful things like push ups and sit ups and jumping around. We had an intense week of personal training in rehearsals, yeah.

Shantae: Yeah, we had like the personal training first and then went straight to rehearsals like reading. Yeah, it was crazy.

Rob: We had a really crack team of stunt people, wonderful people, but super across what we needed to do, and we were in the lucky position of getting in really early when we had a fight sequence coming up. So, in the early days, at least, we had lots of preparation to be able to knock those things down. So, it was a sort of coordinated approach of getting generally fit and working through choreography for the big fight sequences.

Question: Can you maybe talk about just overall having worked on this project, is there anything that you learned about yourself, either as a person, or an actor, just in general, something that you can think of that you didn’t know, maybe, before you started?

Rob: Oh, good question.

Yael: When when you do sign on for a project, sometimes you don’t know what you’re in for, because the story has sort of yet to fully unfold in terms of scripts. And in a way, coming back to Thane’s question, that physical element of embodying things and embodying kind of like those violent situations, it can be quite confronting. I’ve never done a lot of that kind of stuff before, so embodying some of that more physical element was a bit of a surprise for me, and a surprise in terms of that you don’t know what you’re signing on for. Then, in the actual moment, when you find yourself in all kinds of wild situations – like we were down in this crazy opal mine, these actual opal mines, and you catch yourself, and you think, “Oh, my Lord, I would never do this in my real life,” but suddenly, you’re there, and getting the shot is the most important thing, and you wouldn’t be anywhere else but down at the bottom of that opal mine.

Rob: Yeah, just building on that idea of uncertainty that Yael said, I think that’s probably the biggest thing as an actor and a person I’ve learned through this experience. We moved at such a rapid pace, and I don’t think I’ve ever been this busy in my life. I’ve spent most days on set. So, being able to sort of trust in what preparation you’ve done, trust in other people’s vision, [and] hand over a bit of the control to these wonderful creatives was a big learning curve, for me. I’m someone who’s really cerebral. I mean, I like to think about things a lot when it comes to performance and character. I wasn’t afforded that kind of opportunity on this, in a good way. So, embracing the chaos and accepting that the work is there and relinquishing some of that control to these fabulous creatives was a big learning curve for me, and one that I’d love to take into every project, because while it was terrifying, it was also very freeing and very liberating.

Shantae: For me, I feel like every day was learning, because I just haven’t had as much experience. It was just so good being around Rob and Yael and all the other, you know, older, experienced actors and actresses –

Rob: [clears throat] Not that much older.

Question: I was going to say, you called them old there! [laughs]

Shantae: [laughs] More experienced, [and] to learn from them is really cool, and I’m still learning to this day, still gonna keep learning, but yeah, I haven’t had a job this long as well. So, it was challenging as well, being away from family and learning about being, not alone, but, you know, by yourself, learning as a teenager and just keeping in that positive mental state. [It] was learning for me, and yeah, just meeting everyone on set, and the big crew and cast. I feel like that was one of my best learning things, I guess. But yeah, I learned a lot on this job.

Yael: It’s worth saying as well that Shantae also graduated high school while she was doing this job.

Question: Yeah, that’s got to be hard.

Yael: It was no mean feat. It was amazing to watch her juggle everything and learning everything and doing all that independence work of living away from your family, plus school, plus this huge job. She did an incredible job.

Rob: Yeah, I second that. She had her homework in the makeup trailer most mornings. It was incredible.

Question: So, based on the initial concept or the initial sketch or outline, what attracted you most or impressed you more most about your characters?

Rob: I guess I’ll take that first. I’ve done mainly TV in Australia, and my characters are very straight, steady, contained; they have it together in some certain degree. Tyson was, I think I can say this, the most fun I’ve had with a character, because he’s anything but that. So, strangely, it feels like in terms of my film persona, it’s really different, but my children, especially my oldest girl, has seen some of the show, just rough scenes, and says it’s oddly how I am at home. So, Tyson, there are elements of him that are closer to how I am in my private life, not necessarily my public face. So, it kind of drew that out of me, which is a kind of a fun thing. And I think, looking at the character off the page, it’s that stuff that I connected to: he’s fun; he’s silly. He has a very silly relationship – well, silly and serious with Shanika, which reminded me a lot of my own relationship with my daughters here. So, yeah, he’s chaos, but he’s a lot of heart as well. So, it felt really familiar to me.

Shantae: I felt like, my character found herself more at the end of the story…I was still quite strong, and I was smart and tech savvy and all that, but I wasn’t really powerful. I feel I was more powerful in the end. I had to go through a journey to really find that in myself. But I love my character. I feel I’m just underrated. I don’t know; there’s just something about Shanika that not many people would expect from a teenager, and, obviously, Tyson taught her growing up how to fight vampires; that’s pretty cool. So, she uses that in the classroom against classmates. She actually fights a lot at the school. [laughs] So, yeah, she definitely has some skills in life, and she’s strong, and she’s smart. She is smart, I would say.

Yael: I think it’s taken me a while, but I can say it out loud, “I think I’m a character actor.” [laughs] And Ellie, for me, is a real kind of character role. It’s probably not there in those first three episodes, so it’s kind of hard to talk about, given you guys have seen so little of her journey, I guess, and I don’t want to give anything away. So, let me give a silly answer. She has an accent, and I like accents. So, that’s why.

Thane: Shantae, was that you on the motorcycle, or a stunt double? And if it was you, how did you prepare?

Shantae: No, that was my stunt double, Tess. She’s my perfect stunt double. She’s like, you know, same skin type, a little bit shorter. So, it looks exactly like me, but it wasn’t. What they did is they would put her on the motorbike, and then they’d quickly get me at the end, just getting off the motorbike. So, yeah, they cut it really well. I really wish I’d learned how to ride motorbikes, because it’s really cool.

Yael: I mean, it sounds like you’re pretty into stunts. We had an amazing team, and I’m just not gonna say that [my stunt double] did any of my stunts. I’m just gonna be like, “Yeah, I did all of that.” [laughs] Everything you see, it’s all me, but actually, Rob, you maybe did everything, didn’t you, like did pretty much everything yourself?

Rob: I did everything but anything that looked a bit “hurty.” So, Cory, my stunt double, did that and all the driving as well. There are over 2500 manholes in Coober Pedy, so they didn’t trust me to drive a car at speed, weaving through those poles. And I have to say, Cory did an amazing job there. In fact, this is a good point to shout out to our amazing stunt team, led by Nathan [Lawson], that were not only great people, really supportive, but the fight sequences in this show are something else. They’re certainly the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of pretending to be in.

Yael: They also played a lot of the vampires. They got dressed up a lot, and they got killed a lot.

Rob: Yeah.

Scene from "Firebite"AMC STUDIOS GREENLIGHTS FIREBITE, A CO-PRODUCTION WITH SEE-SAW FILMS TO PREMIERE ON AMC+ LATER THIS YEAR

June 08, 2021

High-Octane Fantasy Follows Two Indigenous Australians on Quest to Battle Last Colony of Vampires in South Australia 

NEW YORK, NY, June 8, 2021 – AMC Studios today announced that it has greenlit a new original series called Firebite. A co-production with See-Saw Films, the series will be filmed in Australia this summer and is expected to appear on AMC+ later this year.

Firebite is a high-octane, highly original spin on the Vampire genre and fantasy series that follows two Indigenous Australian hunters, Tyson and Shanika, on their quest to battle the last colony of vampires in the middle of the South Australian desert.

Created, written and to be directed by Australia’s most celebrated Indigenous auteur voice, Warwick Thornton (Samson and Delilah, Sweet Country) together with Brendan Fletcher (Mad Bastards), the series is set in a remote desert mining town, a hive for the last vampire stronghold shipped from Britain to Australia in 1788 by the colonial superpower to eradicate the Indigenous populations.

Sheltering from the sun in the underground mines and tunnels that surround the town until the present day, the colony’s numbers and hunger is growing. War is coming. Tyson and Shanika stand vanguard to the war. But what hope does an expertly reckless man full of bravado and a 17-year-old orphan possibly have to defeat these vicious blood-thirsty parasites, when legions of warriors before them have failed?

Executive Producers for See-Saw Films are Rachel Gardner, Emile Sherman and Iain Canning, alongside Thornton and Fletcher. See-Saw’s Simon Gillis serves as Co-Executive Producer.

Paul Ranford (Stateless, True History of the Kelly Gang) will produce the series alongside Indigenous filmmaker Dena Curtis (Elements, Grace Beside Me), who is co-producing. The writing team include Kodie Bedford and newcomers Devi Telfer and Josh Sambono.

The season will be comprised of eight, one-hour episodes and will be filmed on the traditional Country of the Antakirinja Matu-Yankunytjatjara people of the Western Desert and Kaurna People of the Adelaide Plains in and around Adelaide, the regional town of Coober Pedy and at the Adelaide Studios in South Australia.

The deal was negotiated by Rebecca Hardman for See-Saw Films and Scott Stein for AMC. The series has received major funding from the South Australian Film Corporation. The production is providing employment opportunities for First Nations practitioners.

“This is an original and highly entertaining series we can’t wait to bring to AMC+, and one that expands our already fruitful creative partnership with See-Saw Films after very successful collaborations on the wildly original State of the Union and the rare gem that was Top of the Lake,” said Dan McDermott, president of original programming for AMC Networks and co-head of AMC Studios. “We are excited to tell this story authentically, in Australia with Indigenous storytellers, cast and crew and on Indigenous lands.”

Warwick Thornton and Brendan Fletcher said, “We are really proud of the worthy and important stories we’ve brought to the screen over the last twenty years. Now it’s time for some rock and roll.”

Rachel Gardner, See-Saw Films’ Head of Drama Australia and Executive Producer said, “It’s incredibly exciting to be bringing Warwick and Brendan’s unique vision to the screen with a high-octane explosive story that draws on the complex themes of colonisation and racial prejudice, driven by Indigenous storytellers.”

See-Saw’s Managing Directors, and Executive Producers Emile Sherman and Iain Canning said, “We are thrilled to be working with Warwick Thornton and Brendan Fletcher, who are such formidable storytellers, on this hugely original, action packed new show, headlined by so many wonderfully talented Indigenous voices. It’s fantastic to be collaborating once again with our friends at AMC who champion such original programming, and continually back great talent.”

Warwick Thornton is one of Australia’s most notable directors and Indigenous voices. Thornton (Samson and Deliah, Sweet Country) and Brendan Fletcher (Mad Bastards) are both known for their powerful and gritty feature films. Samson and Delilah won the Camera D’Or at Cannes and Sweet Country won the Special Jury Prize at Venice Film Festival as well as the Platform Prize at the Toronto Film Festival. Mad Bastards was nominated for the Special Jury Prize at Sundance Film Festival. Together Brendan and Warwick were commissioned by the Australian Government to co-direct the first ever International TV campaign to promote Aboriginal Tourism. The campaign was seen by over 30 million people worldwide. They collaborated again on the Award-Winning documentary We Don’t Need A Map, which opened the 2017 Sydney Film Festival. Firebite is their first television series as Creators – their goal was to create something they want to watch – fast paced, highly imagined and entertaining.

Warwick and Brendan are repped by UTA and by attorney Darren Tratter.

AMC+ ORIGINAL SERIES FIREBITE BEGINS PRODUCTION IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA WITH YAEL STONE, ROB COLLINS, CALLAN MULVEY & SHANTAE BARNES-COWAN IN LEADING ROLES

August 23, 2021

TONY KRAVITZ JOINS WARWICK THORNTON & BRENDAN FLETCHER AS DIRECTOR

AN AMC STUDIOS CO-PRODUCTION WITH SEE-SAW FILMS, FIREBITE DEBUTS ON AMC+ THIS WINTER

NEW YORK, NY – AUGUST 23, 2021 – AMC+ announced today the start of production on the Original Series Firebite in South Australia this week, with Yael Stone (Orange is the New Black), Rob Collins (Cleverman, Extraction) and Callan Mulvey (Avengers: End Game) in leading roles. The series will also introduce Indigenous Australian star Shantae Barnes-Cowan. A co-production between AMC Studios and  See-Saw Films, Firebite is a high-octane, highly original spin on the Vampire genre and fantasy series that follows two Indigenous Australian hunters, Tyson (Collins) and Shanika (Barnes-Cowan), on their quest to battle the last colony of vampires in the middle of the South Australian desert. The series is comprised of eight, one-hour episodes set to debut on AMC+ this winter.

Created and written by Australia’s most celebrated Indigenous auteur voice, Warwick Thornton (Samson and Delilah, Sweet Country), who also directs along with Brendan Fletcher (Mad Bastards) and Tony Krawitz (The Tall Man, Dead Europe), Firebite is set in a remote desert mining town, a hive for the last vampire stronghold shipped from Britain to Australia in 1788 by the colonial superpower to eradicate the Indigenous populations. Sheltering from the sun in the underground mines and tunnels that surround the town until the present day, the colony’s numbers and hunger is growing. War is coming. Tyson and Shanika stand vanguard to the war. But what hope does an expertly reckless man full of bravado and a 17-year-old orphan possibly have to defeat these vicious blood-thirsty parasites, when legions of warriors before them have failed?

Thornton and Fletcher said, “Our only rule was to find great people, no matter where they came from. We have actors who’ve worked on big Hollywood blockbusters, and others that are flying in from remote Aboriginal communities who light up the screen with natural presence. To us, they are all movie stars.”

Executive Producer Rachel Gardner said: “We love our cast. They bring these characters to life with authenticity, power and a solid dose of naughty. It feels like this is going to be something special.”

Kristin Jones, Executive Vice President, International Programming and Program Innovation, AMC Networks said: “We are committed to creating compelling programming with diverse voices and representation for our viewers, and Firebite delivers on this goal. We’re thrilled to bring this unique original series to life authentically with a stellar cast and crew on Indigenous lands with Indigenous storytelling.”

See-Saw’s Managing Directors and Executive Producers Emile Sherman and Iain Canning said: “As we start principal photography, we’re delighted to announce our exceptional cast and the addition of our friend Tony Krawitz to the directing team. Led by visionary director Warwick Thornton, we’re going to be in for an exciting ride”

Kristin Jones is overseeing the series for AMC Networks. Executive Producers for See-Saw Films are Emile Sherman and Iain Canning, alongside Rachel Gardner, Thornton and Fletcher. See-Saw’s Simon Gillis serves as co-executive producer, with Libby Sharpe as co-producer and Billy Bowring as associate producer. Paul Ranford (Stateless, True History of the Kelly Gang) will produce the series alongside Indigenous filmmaker Dena Curtis (Elements, Grace Beside Me), who is co-producing. The writing team include Kodie Bedford and newcomers Devi Telfer and Josh Sambono.

Yael Stone is represented by Lisa Mann and Elly Speer, Lisa Mann Creative Management (Australia) and, in the US, by Jason Gutman, The Gersh Agency, and Andy Corren, Andy Corren Management. Rob Collins and Callan Mulvey are represented by Sarah Nathan, Shanahan Management (Australia). Rob Collins’ US representative is Matt Shaffer, Innovative Artists. Callan Mulvey’s US representatives are Kim Hodgert, Anonymous Content, and Jim Dempsey, Paradigm. Shantae Barnes-Cowan is represented by Peter Gunn and Ali Roberts, Actors Management International.

The series has received major funding from the South Australian Film Corporation. The production is providing employment opportunities for First Nations practitioners.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Billy: Good morning.

Lily: Hi. Good morning.

Billy: I’m pretty sure this is the same situation that i left you in last night.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Yes, you are correct.

Billy: Hmm.

Lily: I managed to get a few hours of sleep on the couch, and then I got right back to it. But I don’t mind, honestly. I’m learning so much about the company, and I have so many ideas in my head on how to modernize it and boost profitability.

Billy: That’s good. I like this enthusiasm. I’m glad you got rid of the self-doubt you had earlier.

Lily: Oh, yeah. I put that out of my mind because I am prepared to rise to the challenge.

Billy: And that’s exactly why my mom hired you.

Lily: Mm. Yeah, I know. She’s a savvy leader, but she’s also very traditional and conservative.

Billy: Uh, yeah, that’s true. No one’s gonna accuse her of having the risk-taking sensibility that I have. But you know what? This is not about me. This is about you, and I don’t want to get in front of your moment right now. You are shining, and I love to see this excitement. Oh, come on now. You can say it.

Lily: No…

Billy: Lily…

Lily: …It’s fine. No, it’s fine. It’s nothing.

Billy: No, yeah. It is something. Come oN.

Lily: No, I just… I… look. I understand why you made your decision, and I respect that. But…I really wish that you would reconsider coming to work at chancellor with me. I mean, look. Just hear me out, okay? The more I think about it, the more I learn, the more opportunities I see, and I see how much we could accomplish being ceo and coo together. And look. I know that you wouldn’t have the voice that you want right away, but, you know, in time you can…

[ Sighs ] Okay, it’s fine. I see that you’ve made up your mind. So, it’s okay. Or…have you?

[ Text message pings ]

Watch this. Billy abbott, yesterday.

Victor: Hey, son.

Adam: Morning.

Victor: So, I understand you arranged for noah to do some freelance work for us. Thank you for doing that.

Adam: Uh, yeah. I was happy to do it.

Victor: I know that you’re a little disappointed that i didn’t pursue the purchase of chanccomm, but, you know, there are a lot of good things in store for newman media. You know that.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Yeah, I’ll make sure of that.

Victor: Okay. What are you looking at?

Adam: I just received some unsolicited candid footage.

Victor: Of what?

Adam: Of billy. I ran into him yesterday. He was drinking alone.

Victor: Huh. Yeah, well…I saw him the other afternoon…drinking alone.

Adam: Yeah, I knew this was a rough time for him, but I didn’t think he was gonna be coming apart at the seams this quickly.

Victor: He had two solid parents, and he has always been a loser.

Adam: To put it mildly.

Victor: Amazing. Even when he, you know, found some success riding on the coattails of someone else, he could never hang onto it. So, it’s not a surprise to me, nor to victoria, apparently, considering what she’s about to do.

Ashland: I need you to take care of this immediately and use only this number to contact me. Do not go through anyone at the newman/locke offices, okay? It’s imperative that this be handled with the utmost discretion. Thank you. I’ll be in touch.

Victoria: Hi.

Ashland: Been standing there long?

Victoria: Long enough to overhear you. So, what needs to be handled with the utmost discretion? I’m your wife, your partner. Whatever it is, surely you can tell me.

Ashland: I’m afraid I can’T.

Chelsea: So, tell me. What did I miss? Ordinary tissues burn when theo blows.

Chelsea: Yay!

Chloe: I’m so happy to see you!

Chelsea: Now you know why i texted you earlier, asking what you were up to.

Chloe: Oh, you are so smooth. So, is this just a visit, or are you back for real?

Chelsea: I am happy to report I’m home for good. Well, for now.

Chloe: That’s fantastic. I am so happy to have you back. I have missed you so much.

Chelsea: I’ve missed you, too, so much. I mean, it’s been way too long.

Chloe: You look amazing.

Chelsea: Well, thanks. I’m feeling like a million bucks these days.

Chloe: Well, I am so happy to hear that. Sit!

Chelsea: Yes!

Chloe: So, tell me everything, starting with why you didn’t tell me you were planning to come home last time we talked.

Chelsea: I hadn’t made up my mind yet, and then, once I did make up mind, I thought it would be more fun to surprise you.

Chloe: So, is this surprise just for your bestie, or is there anyone else who knows that you’re back in town?

Chelsea: If you’re referring to adam…

Chloe: Who else?

Chelsea: …I didn’t want to spring myself on him. I mentioned to him I might be coming home several times, actually, and he would cut me off, saying it wasn’t a good time.

Chloe: He should be making time for the mother of his child.

Chelsea: Yeah!

Chloe: But I think he does have a lot on his mind lately.

Chelsea: Such as?

Chloe: Billy. There’s another big war between the two of them.

Chelsea: [ Exhaling ] Wow! I guess some things never change.

Billy: I got to admit, though. Seeing you all fired up like this, there’s a part of me that makes me want to get in the trenches and paint this picture with you.

Lily: Oh, a part of you? I guess I have to work harder at trying to change your mind.

Billy: Yes, darling. Not even you can convince me to come and work at chancellor. However, I will be your biggest supporter. I will be here for you no matter what to bounce ideas off of, and, of course, to be your personal consultant day or night.

Lily: Oh, careful. I’m gonna hold you to that.

Billy: You better, because I’m serious. I’m all yours.

Lily: I know! And I’m yours, which is why I’m so disappointed that we’re not gonna team up in the office anymore.

Billy: I’m proud of you and this path that you’re on. And I appreciate you wanting to still work with me. However, this plan that I’ve put into motion, with victor and adam, it’s the only thing I’m focusing on right now.

Ashland: You have nothing to fear, I swear.

Victoria: Do I seem worried to you?

Ashland: Not at all, but i can only imagine where your mind went to when you overheard that phone call… back to the other secrets I kept from you, perhaps the time i claimed to be making payments for a wedding gift, and I was actually planning to pay off jesse gaines — not a moment i am proud of.

Victoria: Well, okay. Maybe there was a tiny bit of déj vu, but I know that a lot of things have changed since then. So, if you’re good, then I’m good. I trust you.

Ashland: I am so grateful for that. But I’m still sensing something from you. Could it be curiosity?

Victoria: [ Laughs ] Maybe just a little.

Ashland: Well, you’re just gonna have to be in suspense a little while longer.

Victoria: How about just give me one clue?

Ashland: Alright, just one. I actually was making arrangements for a present.

Victoria: Oh, really?! For me?

Ashland: Well, who else? And that is all I’m going to say about it.

Victoria: [ Gasps ] Person, place, or thing? Can it fit under the christmas tree?

[ Both laugh ]

Ashland: Well, look at you. That’s a nice try.

Victoria: Oh, well, if at first you don’t succeed… come on. Tell me. You know you want to tell me. Just whisper it in my ear. I promise you, I won’t tell a soul.

Ashland: God, you are so beautiful. And you break down all of my willpower. But it won’t work this time.

Victoria: I hope you don’t think that I’m giving up.

Ashland: [ Laughs ] Well, I will rebuff all of your futile attempts to break me down.

Victoria: You’re in rare form today.

Ashland: Well, this is a day that I haven’t had in quite a while. I feel happy and strong, and I think I owe it all to you and my new treatment.

Victoria: Well, then, you know what? You need to take advantage of this energy, don’t you?

Ashland: I plan to. I’m going to dive into some work that I have to catch up on, and then I’m hoping to squeeze in some extra quality time with my gorgeous wife.

Victoria: Well, I like the sound of that.

Ashland: What is on your agenda?

Victoria: Quality time with my amazing husband just moved pretty high up on the list. But I do have a meeting that i have to get to, and at some point I’m gonna have to talk to billy about boarding school for the kids.

Ashland: Oh. Well, that won’t be an easy conversation.

Victoria: We usually agree when it comes to the children, but he’ll feel blindsided by this. And he definitely won’t like that he’s the reason I think they should go away to school.

Victor: So, nikki tells me that victoria is ready to send her two kids to boarding school.

Adam: Tough decision.

Victor: That’s a very tough decision. And I’m not so sure I like it. But I think under the circumstances, it’s the best solution for both katie and johnny.

Adam: Well, at least they won’t have to be subjected to what’s going on with their father.

Victor: Got that right.

Adam: Because what’s happening now is just the beginning.

Victor: Oh, boy. Yeah, but I’ve seen it all before with him. Now he’s drinking. Then the gambling starts. You know? Then it starts going downhill. And then he’ll display an array of erratic behavior, embarrassing himself, embarrassing his family. And then he’ll start blaming everyone else for his mistakes.

Adam: Well, it sounds like billy needs to be put in his place.

Victor: Yeah. I’m afraid you’re right. Most bladder leak pads were similar.

Chloe: Feast your eyes on the new menu and order whatever you think looks good.

Chelsea: So…what else has changed around here? Tell me everything. What’s the latest at newman fashion? It’s been like weeks since i got a real update.

Chloe: Why do you want to know?

Chelsea: Because I want to be kept up to speed?

Chloe: Or because you’re ready to come back to work with me, and you’re excited to dive back into the designing world?

Chelsea: Give a girl a minute to breathe before she makes any major decisions.

Chloe: I have given you months, and I’m just really excited to work with my bestie again.

Chelsea: Well, I would have to meet this sally spectra in person.

Chloe: Well, is working with her going to be a deal breaker, because I am telling you she is really good, and with our combined talents, we are going to be unstoppable.

Chelsea: Hmm. The truth is, connor is my priority right now. And I’m just excited to see him when he gets home from school today. I can’t wait to see the look on his face.

Chloe: And you could just, you know, swing by the office in the meantime and talk with adam about signing on board officially.

Chelsea: I’ll get to adam soon enough. My son comes first.

Victor: So, what are you thinking?

Adam: [ Sighs ] Um…billy’s setting himself up for humiliation. So, if somebody wanted to take advantage of that, they’re making it very easy.

Victor: So, who sent this to you?

Adam: I have no idea. It was anonymous. It’s probably a freelancer that was looking for a payout.

Victor: Did they say what they wanted?

Adam: Nothing.

Victor: You don’t find that odd?

Adam: Well, maybe it’s somebody from billy’s past that wants to take him down a peg or two.

Victor: Have you shown this to anyone?

Adam: I just got it. You’re the only one that’s seen it.

Victor: Be careful, okay? The last thing we need is another greedy, blackmailing bastard like jesse gaines, alright?

Adam: I agree.

Victor: Okay. You keep me informed.

Adam: Will do.

Victor: I have a meeting down the floor, okay?

Adam: Mm-hmm. Interesting info. Who are you, and what do you want?

[ Text message pings ]

I don’t want anything. I just want to help.

Adam: [ Laughs ]

Victoria: Hey, there.

Billy: Hi. Don’t you have a big, fancy conglomerate to rule over?

Victoria: Well, you know, even rulers get coffee breaks. I’m glad I ran into you. I was actually gonna call and see if you had time to meet.

Billy: Oh, I’ve got nothing but time. What’s going on?

Victoria: I, um, I just wanted to see how you were doing.

Billy: Fair to middlin’. I’ll be much better once I get out of here and have a little something stronger to drink than coffee.

Victoria: A little early, don’t you think?

Billy: Oh, I don’t know about that. It’s cocktail hour in paris. Thinking after that, I’ll hit up a poker game and probably lose a small fortune. Then, maybe jump on a private jet and go to vegas and just lose myself entirely because that’s what you expect me to do, right? And I wouldn’t want to disappoint.

Victoria: I’m worried about you falling back into a very dark place.

Billy: But that’s what I do, vic.

Victoria: You know, I really hope that this is your anger talking, but it brings me to the larger reason that I needed to speak with you. It’s about the kids.

Billy: What about the kids? Is everything alright?

Victoria: Yes, everything’s fine. I just think that it would be best for them to go away for a little while after the holidays, to boarding school.

Billy: You think? Or you’ve already decided? Better skin from your body wash?

Chelsea: Hi, nikki.

Nikki: My goodness, chelsea! What a surprise. I-I didn’t know you were coming back to town.

Chelsea: Well, anita’s doing a lot better now. So, she doesn’t need my help anymore.

Nikki: Oh, that’s good to hear.

Chelsea: Yeah. And I — I just miss connor so much. So, the second she gave me her blessing to go, I started packing my bags. Now I’m just counting the minutes till he comes home from school so I can hug him and kiss him and just see what he’s been up to.

Nikki: Well, I know he’s just gonna be thrilled to you see you. But while we’re alone, I’d like to hear more about you. How are you feeling?

Chelsea: I’m great.

Nikki: I guess what I meant to say is, how are you feeling emotionally?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] I understand why you’d be concerned. But I’ve completed my therapy, and my attorney went to court on my behalf, and all the restrictions have been lifted.

Nikki: Well, that’s reassuring.

Chelsea: I’m feeling very, um, centered, grounded, and although I hated being away from connor for so long, being away from some of the other people in genoa city has been very helpful for my counseling. I’ve been able to focus, you know, on healing.

Nikki: And your doctor is on board with your coming back?

Chelsea: One-hundred percent. I wouldn’t be allowed to be here if he hadn’t approved. He believes I’m ready, and so do I.

Nikki: Well, I’m just so curious. What are your plans and expectations now that you’re home for good?

[ Knock on door ]

Ashland: Come in.

Nate: [ Clears throat ]

Ashland: Oh, if it isn’t my best man. Get in here! It’s so good to see you.

Nate: I just wanted to check in, see how you’re responding to your new treatment.

Ashland: I should have checked in with you earlier. I’ve been so busy around here.

Nate: No, no, no. I understand. I understand.

Ashland: I got the latest test results back.

Nate: And what did they reveal?

Ashland: There’s been no further spread of the cancer.

Nate: Ashland, somebody’s got to teach you how to deliver good news.

Ashland: I’m sorry. When it comes to my health, I’m just a little out of practice.

Nate: This is fantastic!

Ashland: I was almost too afraid to believe it. I’ve been walking that fine line between hopeful and cautious ever since I got back from peru.

Nate: That is great news.

Ashland: Thank you.

Nate: Listen. Elena and I don’t have to be at the hospital till later. If you’re free and have an appetite, we should grab a bite to eat.

Ashland: I would love it.

Nate: How about a double date? That is, if victoria can join us, too.

Ashland: Well, I hope so, but she might not be able to get away.

Victoria: I’ve contacted the school, had interviews, met with the admissions director, and both of the children have been accepted.

Billy: And you did all that on your own, huh?

Victoria: Well, I was kind of hoping that you and I could move forward on this together. Look — I know it’s not easy to hear. I know that. But I really do believe that it’s for the best. There’s been so much family drama, and you’re —

Billy: Yeah, I’m — I’m what, vic?

Victoria: You’re just — you’re obviously going through a lot. I’m simply trying to look out for the kids here. It’s not gonna be forever — maybe till the end of the quarter or perhaps the end of the year. I don’t know. It depends on what’s happening here.

Billy: Hmm. Yeah, okay.

Victoria: And it’s an incredible school, among one of the best in the whole country, with a strenuous academic schedule and spectacular extracurricular activities, small classes. I think the kids are really gonna love it, billy.

[ Sighs ] Look. Please. I-I just want you to consider this before you shoot it down.

Billy: I don’t need any time.

Victoria: Billy —

Billy: No, I think we should do it.

Victoria: What?

Billy: [ Sighs ] I think it’s a good idea.

Victoria: You do?

Billy: Yeah, I’m agreeing with you, vic. You’re still gonna doubt me?

Victoria: I just didn’t expect for you to agree so quickly.

Billy: Well, you know, I’m gonna miss those little munchkins, but it’s probably a good thing that they’re somewhere else for a little while. So, I’ll call the school, and I’ll touch base and make sure everything’s in place.

Victoria: I’m really grateful for the way you’re handling this.

Billy: Yeah, well, don’t read too much into it.

Victoria: Well, what does that mean?

Billy: It means that, you know, this is about the kids, right? It doesn’t mean it’s copacetic between us. I mean, even if you do go buying chanccomm so I don’t have to watch adam bleed it dry, it doesn’t negate everything that’s come before this.

Victoria: Like what?

Billy: Well, like I was dead right about your husband’s past. And, you know, try not to deny it too much, because I know that you were involved with that whole plan to set the trap for me. And that’s what hurts the most, honestly, because that’s what they do. I know that’s what they’re capable of. But what’s disturbing for me is I didn’t think you were capable of that. I thought you were better.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Lily: Hey!

Chloe: Lily, long time no see.

Lily: I know. How are you? How are the kids?

Chloe: Oh, they’re so great. They’re growing like crazy. How about yours?

Lily: They’re good. They’re really good. Enjoy them while they’re young. It goes by very fast.

Chloe: [ Laughs ] I know. I’m really enjoying how easy it is to excite them right now. I just got them some brownies, and I know it’s just gonna make their day.

Lily: Aw, it’s so great being your kid’s hero.

[ Laughs ] Oh, by the way, congratulations on the buzz that sally created for your fashion platform.

Chloe: Oh, yeah. Well, yes, she made victoria’s dress, but let’s hear it for me for hiring her in the first place.

Lily: [ Laughs ] Well, to be a good leader, you have to have an eye for talent. That’s true.

Chloe: Speaking of leadership, congratulations, ms. Future ceo of chancellor industries.

Lily: Yeah, thank you. We’re working out the details, but it’s not that big of a deal, to be honest.

Chloe: [ Laughing ] Wow. Okay, yeah, I mean, I get it.

Lily: [ Laughs ] You get what?

Chloe: Well, like, the low-key thing. You just took this massive step-up in the corporate world, and most people would be screaming it from the rooftops. But, I mean, I get it. For you, it’s a little complicated.

Lily: Uh…why do you say that?

Chloe: Because of billy. I mean, I’m sure he is totally thrilled for you, but knowing billy like I do, I’ll bet that he’s freaking out and swearing vengeance on his enemies.

Elena: Nate, I am so glad you thought of this. And I’m even more glad that we actually all found the time to get together.

Ashland: You know, I’ve learned to make time for moments like this. It took me a while to realize that reading yet another financial report can wait when you have the opportunity to spend time with friends.

Victoria: Hi. I’m so sorry that I’m late.

Ashland: Oh, we’re so glad you could make it, angel.

Victoria: Well, so am I. How are you two doing?

Elena: Good. Hi.

Ashland: I took the liberty of ordering for you.

Victoria: Oh, thank you. So, did I miss anything juicy?

Nate: Oh, we were just talking about how the four of us haven’t had a chance to get together since your wedding.

Victoria: It seems like yesterday.

Elena: It was so beautiful.

Ashland: Almost as beautiful as my bride.

Elena: Aw! You two are both such newlyweds still!

Ashland: That’s exactly how i feel, like a newlywed each and every day.

Victoria: So do I.

Ashland: You know, when i received my diagnosis, I wasn’t sure how much time I had left. Nothing was promised. Nothing was guaranteed. But I made it to my wedding. And I am grateful to have made it through thanksgiving, and now here we are, closing in on christmas with the love of my life.

Chelsea: I thought I made myself perfectly clear. My goal right now is reconnecting with my son, being the best mom I can possibly be, spending the most time with him as possible.

Nikki: And you’ve talked to adam about this?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] As much as I acknowledge your expertise on the care and handling of all the newman men, what I discuss with adam is my personal, private business. And we’ve got a great deal to discuss.

Adam: The guard at the front

Nikki: Victor, I wasn’t expecting you home for hours.

Adam: The guard at the front gate alerted him that chelsea was on the premises.

Chelsea: No need to sound the alarm. I come in peace.

Adam: No one assumed otherwise.

Chelsea: It’s okay. I understand. I’m actually glad you’re here. We can talk before connor gets out of school.

Victor: This return of yours was quite unexpected.

Chelsea: Yeah. I’m just glad things worked out so I could be home before christmas. I’m excited to spend the holidays with connor.

Nikki: You know, why don’t we give adam and chelsea some privacy so they can catch up, and I’ll fill you in.

Victor: Why don’t we?

Adam: [ Sighs ] Well, connor’s gonna flip when he sees you.

Chelsea: Yeah. Well, that makes two of us.

Adam: He’s missed you.

Chelsea: I’ve missed him. Video chat is not the same as being in person. I just can’t wait to see him and catch up with him, and I have a million questions to ask him and things to tell him. I…

Adam: I just — I wish you’d told me you were coming.

Chelsea: Adam, I tried on more than one occasion, and you were always too busy to talk about it.

Adam: It’s just there’s a lot going on.

Chelsea: You’re busy. I get it.

Adam: I’m sorry that I didn’t make time for you.

Chelsea: Um, so, chloe tells me that there is a war brewing between you and billy?

Adam: That’s chloe for you, always over-exaggerating. It’s just business — nothing more. And it’s unimportant because all that matters right now is what’s going on with you.

Lily: Sorry. So, why are you so interested in billy’s state of mind?

Chloe: I promise I don’t have a hidden agenda. This all comes from a place of concern.

Lily: Okay. So, what are you trying to say?

Chloe: I don’t know all the details, but I do know about the retraction of the story chanccomm published about ashland, who is basically a newman now. And chanccomm is for sale. So, whatever’s going on reeks of world war whatever we’re on, and I’m just a bit nervous about the implications for billy.

Lily: Yeah, but, I mean, that has nothing to do with you.

Chloe: Well, actually, it does… because I always thought that i would be the one who would never be able to get over what happened with adam and my hatred for him. I mean, I wanted him dead, and i was willing to do it.

Lily: Right, but you found a way to coexist with him and even work for him.

Chloe: And victor, too, not that I will ever fully trust either one of them. Look. I will never forget what adam did, but I did find a way to move forward. But billy… I mean, I don’t think that he has ever really found a way to let go of the past, and I just find myself wondering if he’s ever able to really do that. But I don’t know. Maybe — maybe things are different this time.

Lily: And why do you think that?

Chloe: Because of you.

Elena: So, how do you both plan on spending your first christmas together?

Victoria: Well, we’ve decided that we’re gonna stay here in town so that ashland can experience his first newman christmas with the tree and my mom playing carols at the piano.

Nate: Sounds nice.

Ashland: I can’t wait. I fully intend to make this holiday extra special.

Victoria: Oh, is that a hint?

Ashland: No. Well, maybe yes.

Victoria: It is. I knew it.

Elena: A hint for what?

Victoria: Well, ashland says that he has a surprise for me, but he refuses to give me even the slightest hint.

Ashland: Would someone explain to my beautiful wife the concept of a surprise?

Victoria: Wait a second. Ashland trusts you. He confides everything in you. If anyone knows what’s up his sleeve, it’s got to be you.

Nate: Okay, don’t look at me. This is the first I’m hearing about a surprise.

Ashland: You’re just gonna have to practice some patience. What about you two? Got any plans?

Nate: Hmm…work.

Elena: And more work. But I did request to have the same days off as nate. So, hopefully, fingers crossed, we can spend the holiday together.

Nate: Speaking of which…

Elena: Already?

Victoria: Oh, do you have to get back to memorial?

Elena: [ Sighing ] I wish we could stay longer.

Nate: But it’s been nice spending some time with you two.

Ashland: I couldn’t agree more. We have to do this again soon.

Nate: Well, I’d love that. Let’s do it.

Ashland: Well, let’s talk soon, alright?

Nate: Alright.

Victoria: Bye, guys.

Elena: Bye.

Ashland: You two get home safely.

Elena: We will.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] That was exactly what I needed.

Ashland: Yeah, I could tell something was bothering you as soon as you walked in.

Victoria: Oh, no. Well, I hope that you’re the only one who noticed.

Ashland: Let me guess. Billy?

Victoria: Bingo.

Ashland: It didn’t go well?

Victoria: It went…weird. When we were talking about the kids, I mean, it was shockingly civil. But when I think back about the whole thing, from start to finish, it was profoundly disconcerting. Gordan ramsey

Elena: I hope that didn’t take too long.

Nate: Long enough to grab a couple coffees for the road.

Elena: Mm.

Nate: You find your hospital id?

Elena: I sure did, and I am ready to go save some lives. And thank you for waiting. You didn’t have to.

Nate: No problem. You know, if we lived together, I could have reminded you to grab your id before we walked out the door.

Elena: Wait. What?

Nate: You heard me.

Elena: Are you asking me to move in with you?

Chelsea: What do you mean, what have I been up to? I’ve been keeping you updated the whole time I was away. Do you mean to tell me you weren’t paying attention?

Adam: Of course I was. Ask connor. He demanded to know every detail of every conversation. I don’t know. Seeing you in person, it’s different.

Chelsea: How?

Adam: It’s better. You look great. You look happy, confident.

Chelsea: Well, I’m glad to say I am all those things and more.

[ Sighs ] And I know it’s gonna take some time to convince you of that, but for now… I’m just happy to be back.

Adam: I’m glad you’re back, too.

Victoria: Of course. I mean, yeah, I’m relieved that billy seemed okay with the idea to send the kids away to boarding school.

Ashland: Well, then, why did you seem so tense when you arrived?

Victoria: Because it just concerned me that he didn’t put up much of a fight.

Ashland: Mm.

Victoria: I mean, he loves those kids more than anything in the entire world, and I made a unilateral decision to send them away. I blindsided him with the news.

Ashland: Let me get this straight. You’re disappointed that he agreed with you?

Victoria: I know it sounds ridiculous, but he was a class-a jerk for the rest of the conversation. So, his approval, it took me by surprise. I mean, he seemed bent out of shape from the moment I got there, ready for a fight.

Ashland: And you didn’t give him one — good for you.

Victoria: Well, it wasn’t easy holding back. He expressed his extreme disappointment in me and his lingering suspicion and disapproval of you.

Ashland: I’m so sorry you have to contend with that. But we can handle billy.

Victoria: Yes, but I just wish I knew what it was that we’re handling. I’m telling you. There’s something going on with him.

Billy: Being the head of a boarding school, I’m sure you are extremely busy. So, I appreciate you taking the call. Yes, that is the plan. Johnny and katie will be enrolled after the holidays. And to that point, there is something that I wanted to touch base on. I’m not sure if you’re aware, but victoria is a newman, and I’m an abbott. There’s an abundance of media coverage surrounding our families right now. And, you know, we have always gone out of our way to make sure that the children are protected from all of that. And I was hoping that I could get an assurance that you would do the same. Well, that’s great. Yeah, thank you very much. You know, their safety and their happiness is our number-one priority. And, again, no matter what the media is saying is going on back here at home, I would very much appreciate their protection from it.

Chloe: I’m glad billy has you in his life.

Lily: Yeah, I think we’re both lucky to have each other.

Chloe: You do have two very strong attributes in your favor. He clearly adores you, and you’re not a newman.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Well, look. I know billy has had some rough moments in his life, but I think this latest chapter he’ll get through just fine.

Chloe: I know you wouldn’t say that lightly. And loving someone means believing in them. But don’t let it become blind faith.

Lily: I’m not really sure what you mean.

Chloe: Billy is brilliant in his own confounding way, and he has this self-confidence that spills over to the people that care about him. And then they become convinced that he’s got everything under control until they realize that he doesn’t, and it all falls apart.

Lily: Well, I mean, I think those days are behind billy.

Chloe: I hope you’re right. And I really do hope the best for both of you.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Chloe: I guess — I guess i should get going. It was really good to see you, and best of luck with everything.

Lily: Thank you.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Marshall ashford. What are you doing here? Hello, stella. Good to see you again… after all these years. Dr. Westbourne, just the person I was looking for. Lucky me. Hey, do you remember when you said things could only get better? Yes, I — did something prove me wrong? I’m sorry. Let me make it up to you. Hmve news on your brother. Is it his obituary? Close. He’s in the E.R., And he’s more dead than alive. What’s more painful, cyanide or strychnine? Man, I hope peter’s assassin took that into consideration. It’s possible the poisoning wasn’t intentional. I mean, I’ve seen inmates get botulism from drinking homemade prison alcohol. In solitary? Just speculating. Okay, could you speculate a best-case scenario? Like, what are the top three deadly chemicals in a prison, and which one could be killing peter august right now? If peter was poisoned intentionally… getting it to him in solitary would take real effort. I mean, who would go to that kind of trouble? Who wouldn’t? You have to know I am being persecuted for reasons beyond my control — persecuted the same way franco was. You bastard! No, no, wait! No, no. Finn: I’m sorry I got you involved in this. Elizabeth: I’m not. Peter doesn’t get to take another life. We won’t let him. I have so much work to do at the metro court. I can’t believe I let you convince me to blow it off. You know what? We — we need to take a break. Sasha and brando a-are going through hell. We got — michael is gonna be making a statement at brad’s parole hearing. Everybody’s climbing the walls ’cause peter august is back. Here’s hoping he dies quickly. Although, it seems to be taking forever. Can we focus on the fact that I’m just… home with my family and celebrate? Celebrate? What do you mean?

[ Sighs ] Christmas. If I have to stare at these walls much longer, I’m gonna scream.

[ Scoffs ] Do you think that’s how our little boy feels in the nicu? Does liam feel trapped in that incubator? No. Liam feels safe… and cared for and loved. Yeah? Yeah. You think he can feel that? How much we love him?

[ Chuckles ] Of course he can. Some people go through their whole lives and never have that. Whatever happens, whatever challenge we have to face… if our son can feel how much we love him… isn’t that enough? Are you nervous about the hearing?

[ Door opens ] I’ve never been more sure about anything in my life.

We love our son so much thatife is aware of nothing else, he will at least know that. Mm-hmm. Even if his life isn’t perfect, even if it’s the hardest… liam will still know love. And with you as a mom, liam is gonna thrive.

[ Chuckles ] And I know that it’s — it’s not gonna be easy, and at times, it will feel impossible. But with you as liam’s dad, we’re gonna get through it. I’m not giving up. Me, neither. And between the two of us, we will do whatever it takes to give our boy a fighting chance. Finn: Elizabeth. Hey, wait. So what happened? Did someone attack peter in prison? I’m not clear on the details. Should I not have told you? Are you kidding? That’s the best news I’ve heard all day. I had to tell terrible news to anxious parents. I have a very dear friend who has his parole hearing today, and I can’t be there to support him. And I was just recently told I’m a bad influence. Well, I’m sure your friend knows that you would be there if you could. And as for you being a bad influence… mr. Corinthos. Ms. Wu, it is a pleasure to see you again. I’d like to introduce you to willow tait, wiley’s mother. An honor, ms. Tait. For me, as well. I want you to know in no way do I condone what my nephew did. I also wish to assure you that should fortune fall in brad’s favor, I will be responsible for him. He will never again disturb your family. I appreciate that. But once the board hears my statement, there’s no chance in hell that your nephew sees the light of day. Pilar is bringing the girls down from the nursery. How did you manage this right under my nose? Well, it’s a gift. You like it?

[ Chuckles ] I love it. It’s beautiful. Have you checked the calendar, though? We never decorate this early. Well, I missed, uh, christmas with my family, you know, last year, so… uh, one thing I’m gonna do is make up for lost time. Family is everything. It’s all that matters. Come on, auntie, have a seat, okay? Seat. You alright? I’m fine. It’S… it’s just the shock. It really is you. Stella, I didn’t mean to startle you. That comes from showing up in places when you’ve been asked not to. I came here to see you. Now, how could I have known that your aunt stella would be here? That’s beside the point, okay? Your presence is unsettling and unwelcome. My auntie is recovering from a stroke. What? I-I’m sorry to hear that. How’s your recovery coming? I’m sure a lot better before she saw you. She thought you were dead, okay? So seeing you alive after all of this time — we’re lucky she didn’t have a relapse. Actually, curtis, that’S… that’s not exactly true.

Look at all those presents, waiting to be opened on christmas morning. Daddy, are y ou gonna be hereon christmas morning? You know what? There’s nowhere that I’d rather be. And he’s gonna be here on christmas eve so he can help set out the treats for santa. And I’m gonna read you “the night before christmas.” I’m gonna tuck you in. You know, uh, last year, I W… I wasn’t able to be here, right? But that was not my choice. Then whose choice was it? You know what? It’s so amazing… that I’m with my little girls today, and I can tell you one thing — I’m gonna make up for lost time, and I’m never gonna let you down again. Okay? Can I get a hug? Baby?

[ Chuckles ] Honorable members of the parole board, thank you for the opportunity to address you today. Three years ago, I laid to rest a child who I, uh, thought was my newborn son, jonah. My family mourned with me as we buried my baby boy… and grieved for the life that he would never have. Later, we discovered that he was actually alive… now being called wiley and being raised by mr. Cooper. Now, it was only when mr. Cooper was forced to tell the truth that we learned that he intentionally misled me, my family, and even his then-husband, dr. Lucas jones. And the worst of all, the day that I got my son back… was the day that willow tait… realized that hers was gone forever. Are we ready?

[ Sighs ] Are we ready? Are we ever?

[ Chuckles ] I feel like since the day we met, we’ve always been scrambling. And now with liam coming earlier than expected… here we are scrambling again. It’s not in the manual, is it? When something like this happens to your child… they don’t prepare you. Hey, nothing can. I mean, not for this. Well… we are done scrambling. We need to be ready. For liam. Mm-hmm. I want to start planning. I want to plan his best life. How about you? How do you feel? Like it’s time to get some answers. I have not been at G.H. For a long time, but I’ve been watching you and I’ve seen you with your patients and your staff. And you have a better bedside manner than you think, and you’re always fair with the staff. You were more than fair with me when my career was on the line. And I hold maxie in high regard, and she holds you in high regard. She respects you. She comes to you for advice. She listens to you. So I don’t know who this individual is who says that you’re a bad influence, but maybe they just don’t know you at all. Doctor? Sorry. [ Chuckles ] What? Uh, it’s just that when people list the reasons I’m terrible, it usually doesn’t sound nice. I don’t think you’re terrible. You do realize that it’s my job to bolster the staff, not the other way around. Okay, well, I won’t tell if you won’T. Excuse me. Dr. Westbourne, do you have a minute to talk? Excuse me. About liam. I’ll leave you to do what you do really well. Yes, if you and sasha are ready, I’ll tell you everything you need to know. What isn’t true, auntie?

[ Sighs ] You see, while… I certainly am surprised that marshall… no, no, no. Curtis, you’re right. I — listen, there was no way for stella to find out I-I was still alive. Now, had i respected your wishes, I wouldn’t have endangered her health. Marshall… I’m fine. I just need a moment to process your return. And some water, please. Coming right up.

[ Clears throat ] It really is you. Yeah. So here we are. Look at you, girl. It’s like not a day has passed. How are you here now? I asked the same question. He wasn’t very forthcoming, so maybe you can have better luck at getting to the truth. You don’t need that.Finn… it’s okay. It’s okay. I’m gonna take that from you right now, okay? No. You don’t understand. I do. I know. And I understand. Austin: Hi. Oh. Am i interrupting something? No. Okay. No, not at all. Um…no change in the patient. Uh…blood and tox is on the way. Nurse baldwin? Oh, hello. What are you doing here? I have rounds I have to do. You can’t see patients like this. But I’m — I’m already behind and — come — come — come — come with me before you do something you regret. How did olay top expensive creams? By staying on top of our game with derm-recommended ingredients in every jar olay regenerist with niacinamide has hydration that beats the 100, 200, even $400 cream for smooth skin, try retinol24 for visibly firm skin, get collagen peptide for 2x brighter skin, get new vitamin c can’t top this skin shop now at olay.Com no one can deliver your mom’s homemade short ribs. That’s why instacart helps deliver the ingredients. And you add the love. Super emma just about sleeps in her cape. But when we realized she was battling sensitive skin, we switched to tide hygienic clean free. It’s gentle on her skin, and out cleans our old free detergent. Tide hygienic clean free. Hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin. You have always loved vicks vapors. And now you’ll really love new vicks’ vapostick. It goes on clear and dries quickly. No mess. Just the soothing vicks’ vapor for the whole family. Introducing new vicks vapostick.

Marshall will sharehis truth when he’s ready. Curtis: Am I really hearing you say this, auntie? Because you never had such a liberal view of truth telling when you were raising us. Didn’t I? Absolutely not. Look, if my memory serves me correctly, your stance on honesty was pretty cut and dry. Lessons are made simple for children. Everyone here is grown. Curtis, I know… I can’t take credit for the man you are today, but i can thank your aunt for her part in it. In my absence, she made sacrifices. She took responsibility for my family. Girl, I owe you. We all did our best at the time. Aunt stella, how could you say that? We don’t know what this man did after he abandoned his family. Curtis. Aunt stella, I’m sorry, okay? Out of respect for you, I allowed this man [Sighs] A chance to say his piece, but he’s saying nothing. So, sir, could you please leave? And this time, make it for good. Well, what’s the latest? Nice to see you, too.

[ Sighs ] Is peter going to die? Maxie. Please just tell me he’s going to die. Now, ms. Tait chose… mr. Cooper and dr. Lucas jones as her son’s adoptive parents. Unfortunately, the baby succumbed to sudden infant death syndrome within hours of being brought home. Then mr. Cooper conspired with my son’s biological mother, the late nelle benson, to switch the babies… convincing me that mine had died while giving my son to brad to raise. Complicated? Yes, admittedly so. But the consequences are still felt to this day. Now, should you grant mr. Cooper parole… a man who has shown a staggering lack of character and judgment, you will be reopening a wound that has just begun to heal. Look, ms. Tait and I implore you on behalf of our sons, the one who is gone and the one that we are raising together, to protect this community and deny… brad cooper parole. Thank you. Commissioner whitlock: Mr. Cooper. Before we question you, would you like to make a statement? Thank you, commissioner. First, I want to apologize again to mr. Corinthos and ms. Tait. I-I say “again” because I’ve done so before, but I know that… no amount of contrition will ever be enough. Today, I’m asking for a chance to try and redeem myself. You have statements from several cos and the warden detailing that I’ve been a model prisoner. You also have a letter of support from my dear friend dr. Britt westbourne. Now, one line from dr. Westbourne’s letter has stayed with me. “Despite his mistake, brad cooper is infinitely more capable of virtue than vice.” I am more than my mistakes. Please… grant me parole, and I promise to live a life of virtue.

[ Clears throat ] Hey. The girls are decorating cookies with graciela and pilar, so they’re gonna be bouncing off the wall. Oh, that’s okay. The sugar crash will make them sleep like babies. Yup. [ Chuckles ] Look at you. You’ve been sampling the icing yourself, huh?

[ Both laugh ] I-I see that you found the, uh, ornaments. I was thinking of inviting a bunch of people over. We could trim the tree together. Oh, I would love that. But we can get a head start — you, me, and the girls. Yeah. Yeah. What’s wrong? Last year, we trimmed the tree without you, and it…wasn’t right. Well, you know what? I know that coming home has — has not been seamless. But it’s been a dream come true. Can you just promise me… something? Anything. I want you to know that, um… it’s alright to… share your feelings about jason. – Oh…oh. – What’s going on? – Oh, darn! – Let me help. Lift and push and push! There… it’s up there. Hey joshie…

Oh, my god. I can’t believe what I almost did. That look on your face, I, um… I recognized it — same thing I felt… when peter dangled the antidote that could save chase in my face and then threw it off the roof. It’s the rage that made me want to push him down the stairs. But if you hadn’t stopped me… I just wanted to spare you the regret I felt thinking I almost killed someone. Spare me? Peter murdered my husband. He’s the reason jason is dead, the reason my boys are in a constant state of grief. If you hadn’t spared me, then maybe I could have given my sons some semblance of justice. But no, peter’s still alive because I couldn’t rid the world of the monster that you tried to kill. Austin: You know I can’t discuss peter august’s medical condition with you. Please, austin, I have the right to know if this nightmare that I’m living is going to end. Alright. Here’s what I can say. Wow, the guy behind that curtain — he’s in really bad shape. Uh-huh. And? And whoever did this to peter… it was intentional, wasn’t an accident. Someone wanted him dead. That doesn’t surprise you? Jason gave me that keychain… years ago.

[ Inhales sharply ] When I showed up on his doorstep pregnant with michael, I told him that carly roberts was really caroline benson, bobbie’s long-lost daughter.

[ Chuckles ] And we spent that christmas together. Every year, I put it on the tree, and I, um…remember.

[ Voice breaking ] I know… things have been hard for you. You know, with how complicated things got with jason. No, I mean… but listen to me. As much as I miss him… …there is only one man in my heart… and it’s you. It’s you. We’re gonna get through this. We are. We’re gonna get through this. We just have to… keep being open with each other. Inmate cooper. The panel will deliberate and inform you of its decision at the earliest opportunity. Mr. Corinthos… thank you for your statement. This hearing is adjourned.

[ Handcuffs click ] I won’t tell you again — get out of my club… and stay out of my life. Take care of yourself, stella. Marshall, stop. Curtis, I know your father’s reappearance in your life has thrown you. That man hasn’t been my father for a very long time. He has always been your father. Whether he’s been around or not, and whether you like it or not, this is — marshall ashford is the only father that you have. And by some miracle, he’s standing here, whole and well. So what do you suggest, auntie? That we just pick up where we left off? I’m a little too old for toy lawnmowers.

[ Scoffs ] I’m not saying that at all, baby. But what has it cost marshall to show up here? Maybe you could’ve just at least hear him out. He has nothing to say. He’s a ghost with no public record who makes sketchy references about some unexplainable danger. Curtis… curtis, hear me. Just hear me. As much as it killed me to go, every minute I remained in your lives, I put you, I put tommy at risk. Had I stayed… what kind of father would that have made me? I’m happy to answer as many questions as you can think of… but I need to provide a more thorough explanation of your son’s prognosis. Liam’s brain is severely impaired. Yes, yes, we know that. That’s already been explained to us. Still, I-I-I think I need to clarify what that means. Liam will never breathe on his own. He will never open his eyes, never recognize your voices, or have any awareness of his surroundings. Life for liam will entail permanent ventilation, a feeding tube, and around-the-clock care. We know that it’s a lot, and if it is too much for us, I-if liam can’t get the care he needs at home, then he can get it here. General hospital is not set up to care for what your son needs. Then where? We would have to transfer liam to a long-term care facility. Away from his parents? No, no, no. He needs love. There must be a way for liam to come home. I’m sorry to be so blunt, but… liam’s quality of life — no, no. He won’t have any quality of life without us. Look, if you refuse to help us, dr. Westbourne, then we will find someone who will.

So, it wasn’t safe for you to come back when tommy died. It still wasn’t safe when my mom died, and all those years, it wasn’t safe for you to come back when aunt stella took on your responsibility. Oh, but now it’s safe for you to waltz back in here, and we’re required to do what? Give you a captive audience? Curtis, curtis, you have every right to answers, and hopefully someday, your father will provide them. But can — can you consider just for a moment that he has been trying to protect you? From what? A complex situation that would have had repercussions on the entire family and still could. What situation? What repercussions? Go ahead and tell me. I can take it. Just know I didn’t leave because I wanted to. I left because I had to. Still vague. See? This is bull. That’s all I have to offer you, son. That’s it, at least for now. Well, it’s not enough. It was enough for tj. I thought I asked you to stay away from him. Curtis, I came here… to reconnect with my family. And blood or no blood, tj is my family. And if tj, tommy’s son, wants to have a relationship with me, that’s his call. And if you want to have one… well… …you can find me at the harbor view inn. I’m so sorry. W-wait a minute. Why? Why? What do you have to apologize for? Hello, wylie. Hi. Yes, yes. Hi. Hi. How did the parole hearing go? Uh, michael was very eloquent. Oh. You would have been proud. I don’t — I don’t doubt that. Yeah, I just wasn’t expecting to give my victim-impact statement in front of selina wu. Is that right? Well, she is brad’s aunt. Wiley, do you want to go say hello to grandma carly? Sure. Okay. Let’s go this way. So I, uh — I hope that all this doesn’t make things awkward for your business relationship. Well, I t– I told — I told her, I said, you know, you have every right to oppose brad’s release. She understands. I’m just glad this hearing’s over. I just want to put all this, this business with brad behind us. Oh, I love your hugs! Hey, wiley, do you want to go in the kitchen and have cookies with donna and avery? Yes, I do. Go, go.

[ Laughs ] Aww. Wow. It is like a wonderland in here. You really went all out. Oh, I can’t take any credit. Sonny did it all. Really? Yeah. Good for him, getting back into the swing of things. Well, he missed last year, so he thought the family could use a big dose of christmas.

[ Both chuckle ] Any word about brad? Not yet. But michael spoke so passionately, I’m — I’m sure he got through to the parole board. Whatever happens, wiley has the full protection of this family. I know. And I appreciate that. But? No buts.

[ Sighs ] I know that you always have wiley’s best interests at heart, even when… we don’t see eye to eye. I may tend to chime in when it comes to my grandson. I appreciate your grace. Well, your instincts tend to be spot-on. My boys loved franco, and not because I loved him, but because he earned it. He reached jake through art. He helped aiden get comfortable with who he is, and cameron — god, that was a battle and a half, but franco was willing to give his life for that boy. And peter ripped him away… from all of us. So yeah. Yeah, I wanted to hurt him like he hurt me. But you know that’s not how it would have gone. If you had succeeded, you’d go to prison, and then you allow peter… to take from cameron and jake and aiden, take their mother on top of everything he’s already taken from them. I don’t think franco would want that. I don’t think jason would want that. You know, when I thought I had killed peter, I was gonna go to the police and…and confess. Do you remember that? You stopped me. You stopped me from making a choice that would have taken my daughter from me. So right now, I’m just returning the favor, whether you like it or not, and if you want to be angry, be as angry as you want to be. That’s not gonna drive me away from you. Dr. Westbourne, um, sasha and i are frustrated with the situation, not with you. We — we appreciate your time. Yes, yes. I’m — I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have — please don’t apologize. I can’t possibly imagine what you two are going through. And believe me, I-I would help you look into everything you would need for at-home care… if it were feasible. And if you want a second opinion or a third or a fourth, or if you want to talk to every specialist on the planet, I will reach out and I will make that happen for you. But…you should consider liam’s likely life-span and quality of life. Life-span — how — how long? He could live for years. Years? But in a permanent vegetative state. And his quality of life? He would have none, as liam is being kept alive by machines. And his little body would be vulnerable to seizures, pneumonia, pneumothorax, sepsis, septic shock, contractures… and a high likelihood of bedsores. I’m so sorry to be so direct with you, but I can’t leave you to make this decision without you seeing the full picture. Well, how can we make a decision when we — we don’t know all the options? It sounds like what dr. Westbourne is saying… it sounds like there’s only… one option. And what is that? To take your son off of life support. And let… and let liam go. No.

[ Sniffles ] No. No. It’s okay.

what are you thinking? I’m thinking that… even though he’s only been here a very short time… I can’t imagine the world without liam in it. Me, neither. Then — then we don’t have to, right? There must be something we can still do. This can’t be the end of the road. Next time you need to unload, you can…unload on me. You want to punch it out,my shoulder’s all yours. Anything you need to move forward, I’m right here.

[ Door closes ] I hope it didn’t rattle you to see him after thinking he was long dead. Look, I promise you, I will not allow that man to haunt or guilt you or tj. Curtis, marshall gonna do what he gonna do.

[ Scoffs ] And tj — he’s got a good head on his shoulders. And it’s not like he can surprise me again, right? Yeah, well, even so — look, what you need to do right now, curtis, is to give me a tour of your beautiful club…

[ Chuckles ] …Live your life, and free yourself from all the burdens of the past. That’s what your mama would want, wouldn’t she? Yeah, she would. How about I make you a promise. Okay. As long as there’s breath in my body, I’m not gonna allow anything or anyone to upend this family. Okay? Yay! There you go. Good job, wiley.

[ Laughter ] Oh, that’s great. Alright, you guys, who’s next? We got to pick out some more ornaments. Um, let’s do — hold on. Excuse me one second. Um, what is this? What is this? Uh, you got — you got to wait for christmas. No, no, no. I don’t want to wait for christmas. Yeah, yeah. You’ve got to.

[ Cellphone rings ] Hold on. Hold on. Hello? The parole board made their decision. My nephew is to be released in a few days. You have my gratitude. Deal’s a deal. What’s going on? Everything okay? Yeah, yeah, everything — everything’s good. Okay. Alright! Everybody, we have more ornaments to put on the tree, so let’s start looking. You know what, girls? I think there’s some angel ornaments in there.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Holiday music]

Rafe: Hey, lucas.

Lucas: Hey, um, any news on philip?

Rafe: Well, the search team is still working.

Lucas: All right, just tell me the truth, okay? Do you think he’s, uh–you know, do you think he’s dead?

Rafe: No, we’re working under the assumption that he’s still alive. Now, with that said, we did find his prosthetic leg and blood at the scene and on the knife…

Lucas: Yeah, yeah.

Rafe: That matched philip’s type, yeah.

Lucas: I know all that. What I don’t know is why the hell haven’t you arrested brady yet.

Nicole: Brady, chloe told me about this whole mess with philip. Can you call me back when you get a chance, please?

[Knocking on door] Allie’s not here.

Sami: I’ll wait.

Nicole: No, wait in the car.

Sami: No, I’m not–

Nicole: No. No, no, no.

Sami: I am not gonna let you mess with me today–ow!

Nicole: This is my house, damn it!

Sami: Okay, well, it was my bed and my husband you slept with last night.

Nicole: Why don’t you yell a little louder, ’cause I don’t think the people on the fourth floor heard you.

Sami: I don’t care–ow! I don’t care who hears what you did to me, nicole.

[Grunts] God.

Nicole: What I did to you?

Sami: [Scoffs] Yes.

Nicole: Get in here!

Sami: Get off me! Get off! God!

Nicole: You and I are gonna have a little talk.

Sami: [Laughs dryly]

Ej: You look pretty pale. Should I call a doctor?

Susan: No, hon, I don’t need a doctor. It’s my soul, not my body that’s in trouble.

Ej: Well, you’re here now, and I promise to take care of you.

Susan: I’m not worried about me. It’s my good friend, dr. Marlena evans. She is possessed by the devil. And what is worse than that–

Ej: There’s something worse than being possessed by the devil?

Susan: You are damn right there is! That thing! That thing that’s in her that she’s become, it’s after ciara’s unborn baby.

Shawn: I mean, I thank god you’re back. Oh, my gosh.

Ciara: Whoa, that was kind of intense.

Shawn: Where have you been?

Ciara: Well, I was with ben and marlena.

Shawn: Wait, what?

Ciara: Yeah, and shawn, there’s actually something that I have to tell you about john.

Shawn: Okay, wait, wait, wait; first, let me tell you something about marlena.

Ben: Ciara’s not here. She must have gone out the back way.

Marlena: We can’t let her get back to salem.

Ben: Dr. Evans, I am sorry. I knew she was upset, but I didn’t think she’d run away.

Marlena: If she gets back to town, john will get the truth out of her, and I am terrified that he will come after me and kill me. We’ve got to stop her!

Ben: Okay–oh.

Marlena: [Gasps] He’s here to kill me.

Ben: Well, he’s gonna have to get by me first.

[Suspenseful music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Ciara: What about marlena?

Shawn: Okay, first of all– wait, did she hurt you?

Ciara: Marlena? No. Why would she hurt me?

Shawn: You don’t know.

Ciara: I don’t know what?

Shawn: Listen, ciara. Here, sit down, okay?

Ciara: No, shawn. I’m not gonna sit down. You’re gonna tell me what it is that I don’t know.

Shawn: It’s happened again. Marlena’s possessed.

[Eerie music]

John: Ben, you need to leave us alone.

Ben: No, there’s no damn way that’s gonna happen. What you need to do is get the hell out of here.

John: [Laughs dryly] Recruited him, have you?

Ben: No, she didn’t recruit me, john. All she had to do was tell me what you’ve been doing to her. Well, that’s over now, so you can either get the hell out of here, or I’m going to throw you out.

John: First, you’re gonna listen.

Ben: No, you’re gonna listen because you’re never gonna hurt her again. Do you understand that?

John: Oh, come on, ben. Wake up. You think I would hurt marlena? She’s doing nothing but lying to you.

Ben: Dr. Evans doesn’t lie.

John: No. But that thing does!

[Eerie music]

Susan: Hey, ciara, honey, this is susan. Now, I need you to call me. And whatever you do, don’t go near dr. Marlena evans because she is not her. She is the devil! And sweetheart, you need to keep that little baby away from him, okay? You need to call me. Please, please, please. I’m worried sick.

[Hangs up]

Ej: You were right; you are worried sick. You need to calm down. Would you like a cup of tea?

Susan: No, I wouldn’t like a cup of tea. I just–I need to figure this out. I don’t know what to do.

Ej: There’s nothing left to do. You’ve done everything you could; I mean, there’s only, like, three dozen bradys in this town who are ready to take care of ciara. So why don’t you let me take care of you?

Susan: [Sighs] All right, don’t you laugh about this, sweetheart, ’cause this is what he wants. He wants this. He wants people to think that I’m nutty, and he doesn’t want people to believe me.

Ej: I’m not laughing. I’m just saying, there are a lot of people to look after ciara. Let me look after you.

Susan: [Sighs] You’re such a good son.

Ej: [Chuckles] No, I’m a terrible son. Terrible father, husband, brother, person. But the devil doesn’t bother me like he bothers you, so let me fight him for you.

Susan: Honey, you–you underestimate him. Elvis, I told you, sweetheart, he told me that I had to make a choice between you and john black, and for a moment, I almost plunged a knife into that poor man’s heart.

Rafe: So you see, brady isn’t going anywhere, but if we move too soon and we get the da to issue a warrant and try to build a case right now, we’re not gonna be able to do it and it’s gonna be that much harder to bring charges later. If you want justice for philip, wait.

Lucas: It’s just killing my mom.

Rafe: Yeah, I can only imagine. And I’m sorry, but we are not giving up. We’re not throwing in the towel.

Lucas: Right, right, right. I know, I know.

Rafe: Okay? Now listen, I actually wanted to talk to you about sami.

Lucas: Okay.

Rafe: Well, I heard that she was kidnapped right outside my back door. She went to talk to gabi about moving back into the mansion.

Lucas: Yeah, well, that’s what she told us.

Rafe: You’re the one who found her, right, somewhere near wisconsin?

Lucas: Yeah, yeah, she was, like, halfway to madison.

Rafe: Wow. You know, I’ve been trying to get in touch with her. I thought she would want to file a complaint, but I haven’t heard anything.

Lucas: Well, I wouldn’t hold my breath on that. She’s been a little preoccupied.

Rafe: Uh, worried about marlena, right?

Lucas: Oh, yeah, you would think, right? Mom being possessed by the devil and everything, but no. No, no, she’s lost ej, and that demands that once again, she makes a total ass out of herself in front of god and everybody else.

Nicole: What I did was sleep with a man who was in the process of divorcing a woman he despises. I didn’t do anything to you.

Sami: He is my husband.

Nicole: Whereas you meticulously planned to destroy my marriage. It was premeditated and totally personal. And you took great care to make sure it hurt as much as possible.

Sami: I was protecting my brother.

Nicole: Please, you don’t give a crap about eric, otherwise you wouldn’t have put him in the spotlight, with his mother there, telling everyone he was a cuckold.

Sami: [Scoffs]

Nicole: Your very own brother meant nothing to you but collateral damage.

Sami: No.

Nicole: And you don’t care about ej, not really. This whole outrage and moral indignation, it’s nothing but a distraction to everyone, including yourself, about the clear truth. Ej didn’t need a nurse anymore and you weren’t woman enough. I didn’t do this, sami. You did.

Sami: [Exhales sharply] It’s my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on

Rafe: You think that sami is trying to get ej back?

Lucas: Yeah.

Rafe: Wait, you know, for the life of me, I will never understand what she sees in that jerk.

Lucas: I know. I know all those years, she just nursed him back to health, gave him his life back, and he treats her like dirt.

Rafe: Right?

Lucas: You know what, maybe finding him in bed with another woman is the last straw.

Rafe: Wait, what?

Lucas: Yeah, she caught him. She caught him in their own bed with another woman.

Rafe: Who was it?

Lucas: Nicole.

Sami: You slept with ej to get back at me.

Nicole: [Scoffs] Uh, I saw the divorce papers weeks ago. Ej didn’t serve you because you were missing, not that it bothered him at all. I didn’t break up your marriage. It was already over. You lost him. And ej knows who you are, and he wants no part of you, you got it? Fine, you know what? You want to blame me, you blame me, but unlike eric and me, there was no outside intervention to break up your marriage. You did that all on your own! You happy now?

Sami: No.

Nicole: You know what, i don’t think this is a good time to talk to allie. Why don’t you just– why don’t you go for a drive, or take a walk, or something?

Sami: Don’t touch me! Don’t you ever touch me, you bitch!

Nicole: Hey! What? “You bitch”?

Sami: You are such a–

Allie: What the hell is going on here?

Ej: Think about it, mother. Now that john and shawn know the truth, do you really think they’ll let anything happen to ciara or the baby? You did your job. That baby is safe because of you. You literally beat the devil.

Susan: [Chuckles] You know just what to say. I think you get that from me.

Ej: Oh, me too. Me too.

Susan: Aw. Poor dr. Marlena evans and her poor family. I mean, sami must be worried sick. You know what, I think you should give her a call and you make her feel better like you did with me right now.

Ej: [Clears throat] Mother, as far as I’m concerned, samantha can join her mother in hell and stay there.

Susan: Hmm?

Shawn: So the devil’s been biding his time for the last 25 years, waiting for the right opportunity to take over marlena’s body again. But first–first he got to grandpa doug. That’s why we thought it was cognitive decline.

Ciara: Oh, my god. Is he okay now?

Shawn: Yeah, he’s great. I mean, you should’ve seen him at thanksgiving. At first–first, we thought he wasn’t all there, and then– then he just stood up and he just called the devil out.

Ciara: Wow.

Shawn: It doesn’t matter. Listen, I’ll tell you all that later, but you got to tell me, where’s marlena right now?

Ciara: Oh, my god. Shawn, she’s still with ben.

John: Everything that she has been telling you is a lie because she–

Marlena: No, ben! Ben, that’s not true. He’s the one who’s lying. He’s not the person he claims to be.

John: 25 years ago–

Marlena: And when I tried to tell people about it, that’s when I became frightened that he would actually kill me.

Ben: That’s not gonna happen.

John: Benjamin, ask anyone! 25 years ago, she–

Ben: I am gonna give you one last chance, john, to turn your ass around and get the hell out of here, because I saw the way that you showed up at my apartment, screaming and yelling and banging down my door, saying that you were gonna kill marlena.

John: Oh, ben; son, you’re a little late to the game. That wasn’t me. That was her!

Marlena: No, no, no. That’s not true.

John: You’ve gotta stop listening to her and you start listening to me. That is not the woman that made you well, ben. That is not dr. Evans. That is the–

[Choking]

[Coughs] She is–

[Choking]

[Sinister music]

No, you don’t!

[Grunts]

[Eerie string music]

Hi sabrina!

Lucas: So I rescue her, right, and then when we come back, where does she go? She goes groveling right back to ej. And I tried to stop her, I did, but you know what? Maybe it’s for the best because that’s when she found him with–

Rafe: Nicole.

Lucas: Right.

Rafe: Yeah. I ran into both of them at the mansion last night. I just didn’t realize that they were, uh– choose your euphemism.

Lucas: Consummating their– their sweet, tender love affair, right? It makes me sick.

[Sighs] What? It bothers you too, doesn’t it?

Rafe: Well, nicole is my friend and ej is human garbage, so yeah, it bothers me.

Lucas: I get it. I get it, but selfishly, you know, I hope it’s for the best. I hope sami opens her eyes, because I want her back.

Allie: [Sighs] Mom, so nice of you to drop by.

Sami: Don’t patronize me.

Allie: Sorry. Hey, how about we go get a coffee or take a walk around the block?

Sami: I’m fine.

Nicole: I’ll tell you what, why don’t you stay and I’ll go? I have some errands to run.

Allie: Sorry.

Sami: Allie, don’t apologize for me.

Nicole: Sami, I know you’re upset, but don’t you ever do this again. Bye, honey.

Allie: [Sighs]

Sami: I came here to see you. I didn’t start this.

Allie: You never do, do you?

Sami: I know your feelings for saint nicole, your patron saint, and how you owe her so much.

Allie: Because I do.

Sami: For your information, i found your precious saint nicole in bed with my husband last night.

Susan: You shouldn’t talk about sami like that, I mean, after everything she’s done for you.

Ej: How about after she started having sex with her ex-husband?

Susan: What? She did that?

Ej: Mm-hmm, and that’s why i served her with divorce papers.

Susan: Oh, my, my, my, my, my! Oh, my god, elvis, this is a shocker. Oh, I thought you two were devoted to each other 100%.

Ej: Yeah, well, you thought wrong, obviously. And can we stop talking about this, please? I’m supposed to make sure that you rest. Relax.

Susan: Yeah, I don’t want to rest and relax. I want to hear about the story. You tell me. You’re gonna go sit on the couch with your mama, and you’re gonna tell me about the whole thing.

Ej: Mother–

Susan: Whole story. It’s gonna be–what? No, we’re gonna go over there right now.

Ej: [Sighs]

Susan: Hmm?

Ciara: And then, marlena told us that john has been beating her. She wanted us to help hide her, take her someplace safe, someplace far away from salem.

Shawn: And did you?

Ciara: Well, I was always kind of skeptical, but ben totally believed her. It was so similar to what he went through as a child.

Shawn: And she knew all about that.

Ciara: Right, so anyway, then john showed up, and shawn, it was like something I have never seen before. He was crazy. He was pounding on the door, he was threatening to kill her–

Shawn: As if on cue.

Ciara: What?

Shawn: I don’t think that that was john. Now, right, marlena– or the devil– has these weird, crazy powers. I mean, on thanksgiving, she just broke the handcuffs like they were nothing, and then she threw me across the room with one arm and knocked me out.

Ciara: Okay, well, if it wasn’t john, then who was it?

Shawn: I think the question is, what was it? And god only knows.

John: [Panting] She’s the de–

[Choking]

[Muffled groans]

Marlena: And that is enough of your lies!

Ben: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Dr. Evans, what the hell are you doing? I’m gonna make sure that he never, ever hurts me again.

Ben: He’s tied up. He cannot hurt you, and he cannot hurt anybody else every again, okay? You are safe, dr. Evans.

Marlena: He needs to pay.

Ben: And he will, but that is not up to you or us. Dr. Evans, you were the one that taught me that violence– if you hurt him, it will get bad for you. It will not help you. It will hurt you.

Marlena: It is so good to hear my words coming back. I’m so proud of you. I’m so grateful.

Ben: Well, I’m glad that I can help you for once after all that you’ve done for me, but do you think maybe you could just drop the knife all the way down?

Marlena: Look, I’ve asked so much of you already. It’s time that you focus on yourself, your wife, and that new baby of yours.

[Ominous music]

Ciara: Damn it, shawn, I have to get to ben before marlena hurts him.

Shawn: Ciara, no!

Ciara: Shawn–

Shawn: What, are you in some sort of denial? I just told you that susan said that the devil is after your baby. I’m not letting you go anywhere near marlena.

Ej: So not only was she sleeping with her ex-husband, she was going to try and hide it from me as well.

Susan: Hmm, that is not totally unheard of. Hmm, wait. Oh, wait, haven’t you done that maybe once or twice?

Ej: Can we not go there, mother? We’re talking about the present, okay?

Susan: All right. Fine, fine, fine. Fine, fine, fine, all right. So how’d you find out?

Ej: Kristen.

Susan: Pfft, should’ve guessed. How it must’ve pained her to spread that bad news. All right, well–all right, there’s gonna be one thing that you’re gonna have to do now.

Ej: I’ve already started the divorce proceedings.

Susan: Oh, no! No, no! You have to forgive her.

Ej: Forgive her?

Susan: Yeah. Good lord, elvis. I mean, after all that time she spent with you in italy. I mean, she gave her life over to save you.

Ej: Well, even if I felt inclined to forgive her, which I don’t–

Susan: Oh, that is your father speaking, ugh.

Ej: It might be too late. Last night, samantha caught me in flagrante.

Susan: I don’t know much latin, but I can only guess what that means. Oh, elvis, who were you flagranting with?

Ej: Nicole walker.

Susan: [Blows raspberry] Here we go again.

Allie: I’m so sorry.

Sami: How do you feel about her now?

Allie: I’m sorry that you went through that after everything you’ve already been through.

Sami: Yeah, it’s pretty amazing, but being kidnapped and thrown in a room isn’t as bad as finding her in my bed, gloating.

Allie: Dad and I tried to tell you not to go.

Sami: Did you know? Did you know what she was doing?

Allie: No, no. No, but that’s not the point.

Sami: No, that is the point. The point is nicole is a vicious, vindictive, little–

Allie: Mom! Mom, I really don’t think we should be talking about what nicole did wrong.

Sami: Oh, right. Of course. You want to talk about me, right? You want to lecture me on what I’ve done wrong?

Allie: No, no. No, I think we should be talking about ej. And when we start talking about everything ej’s done wrong, then it’s gonna take a hell of a long time.

Lucas: Listen, I get it. I get it. Nicole going back to ej is like me taking a drink, right? No good can come of it.

Rafe: I would agree.

Lucas: Right, but I just hope it opens sami’s eyes. You know, I hope she wakes up.

Nicole: Hi. What are you two talking about?

[Hall & oates “you make my dreams” plays]

Ciara: So she left nashville almost exactly at the same time we found out about the baby.

Shawn: Susan knew you were pregnant and nobody told her.

Ciara: Right, but she came to warn us about some evil presence that was after my baby. Only I had just convinced myself that it was crazy susan being crazy susan. Like, how did she even know that I was pregnant in the first place, you know, but now–

Shawn: Okay, listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me, all right? I’m gonna go get ben from marlena. You’re gonna stay here. I’m gonna have belle come here. I’m gonna call her, but you cannot answer the door for anybody– nobody unless it’s belle.

Ciara: Okay, well, how do i know that it’s even really belle, especially after what you just told me about john? How am I supposed to know that?

Shawn: I don’t–box top.

Ciara: “Box top.” What is that?

Shawn: Box top is claire’s safe word from when she was a kid, all right? Belle will know what it is.

Ciara: Are you sure about that, shawn? Because if it is the devil, I–

Shawn: Ciara, come on. This is all I got. I’m sorry, like– look, I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

Ciara: I’m sorry. I’m just really scared, shawn. I’m like, really, really scared.

Shawn: I know you are. I know you are. Ciara, I got to go, okay? Remember what I told you.

Ciara: Okay. Shawn, please be careful. Please.

Shawn: Don’t worry. I will be. Demon marlena: It would be wicked fun to finish you off, you little worm, but post-therapy ben would be shocked, shocked I say, to see saintly dr. Evans eviscerate her husband. To think that self-righteous little prick used to be so much fun. But I need that baby, so I need him to get me to the mother. That neanderthal brother of hers has probably already told her. “Marlena’s a devil. The devil is bad.” God, this whole clan is nauseating.

Marlena: We need to go to salem. To the police.

Ben: The police? I thought you said they’re too close with john, they won’t believe us.

Marlena: Well, I–I do think that it’s time to trust that the truth will set us free.

Demon marlena: Oh, brother. The things I do for hate.

Allie: I saw firsthand what ej did to you in italy.

Sami: He was in pain.

Allie: And when you were sad and alone and you went back to dad, I mean, did he show any compassion? No, he kicked you out of his house, out of his life.

Sami: I shamed him. He’s a dimera. Revenge is in their dna. But allie, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t love me.

Allie: Oh, my god. Mom, wake up! Wake up, okay? You blame dad, you blame nicole, you blame his dimera-ness. Ej dimera has treated you like crap, and it is everybody else’s fault but his. Damn it, mom, we know that if he wanted a woman in his bed, he could just snap his fingers, but sleeping with nicole? With nicole? There is nothing that he could do that would hurt you more than that. And trust me, if you didn’t walk in on them, he would’ve made sure you found out.

[Sighs] And dad– dad would, and he has, walked through fire for you, okay? He loves you! And not only does he just love you, he likes you. Respects you, okay? He’s on your side. And I know, I know, okay? You and ej, you’re a– a love for the ages, but from where I sit, that “love for the ages,” it looks a lot more like life in prison with no parole.

Lucas: Uh, we were just– what, a little guy talk, right? Yeah, that was about it. I actually have somewhere I have to be, but call me if you hear about philip, okay?

Rafe: Yep.

Nicole: I just heard about him. I’m so sorry, lucas.

Lucas: Yeah, thank you.

Nicole: You two weren’t talking about philip. You were talking about me and sami.

Rafe: Hmm, yeah. That’s right.

Nicole: [Chuckles dryly] Well, let me just confirm what I think he told you– that ej and I slept together last night.

Susan: Are you and nicole serious?

Ej: We’re… taking things slowly.

Susan: Hmm… ej: [Sighs] I know that “hmm.” You don’t think she’s good enough for me, but then again, you don’t think any woman’s good enough for me.

Susan: Well, you know, i changed my mind about that one. Huh, I mean, you know that thing that people say, you know, “for better, for worse,” when they get married?

Ej: Oh, I know where you’re going with this.

Susan: You know, elvis, I have never known anyone to do “for worse” better than sami. And you wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for her, and you know that.

Ej: Yes, you’re right, and I came back here to try and start over with her. And then, I found out that not only has she been unfaithful, but she would do whatever it took to make sure I never found out. And for all I know, she intended to go on being unfaithful.

Susan: Oh, because if she would’ve been honest about it, you would’ve forgiven her about doing something that you’ve been doing since god was a boy?

Ej: Oh, we were married.

Susan: Oh, hypocrisy, thy name is man! You know what, elvis? The devil told me–he told me that you’ve already secured your place in hell, and right now–right now, sweetheart– you need to find it in your heart; you need to find that love in your heart to save your soul.

Ej: The love in my heart is no longer for samantha.

Susan: Oh, bull! Bull, bull, bull, bull, bull! She hurt your feelings, she wounded your pride. Son, look at me. You are acting like a little, spoiled brat. Yes, you are. You know what, she was unfaithful not to hurt you. She was grieving. I mean, she’s been grieving to move heaven and earth to save you. And what do you do? What do you do? “Ooh, I’m gonna turn my back on you,” huh? You know, I know–I know that you sneer at what I believe, but, honey, you need to examine your conscience. And right now, you need to ask yourself, and be honest, “do I still love sami?” And if you do, there’s still hope.

Ej: What, for a happy ending?

Susan: Oh, no. For your immortal soul. Oh, get yourself together, elvis.

Sami: You hate ej.

Allie: I hate the way he treats you. And I–I really hate that you let him. I think I understand. I mean, after everything you went through trying to save him, basically giving up your life for his. It’s hard to think all that wasn’t worth it.

Sami: It was worth it.

Allie: Ej doesn’t think so. Look at all the things you’ve forgiven him for. And not only does he not forgive you, but he thinks he has the right to punish you. Mom. Mom, just think about it. How do you feel when you’re with dad? Do you feel bad and unworthy, or do you feel– well, I don’t know. I mean, I can’t tell you how you feel.

Sami: No, you can’T.

Allie: But maybe something happened between you and dad not just because you were lonely, but because there’s always been something between you two. And he was your first great love. And maybe he’s your last. People everywhere living with type 2 diabetes

Nicole: So where are you gonna start, rafe? How horrible ej is or how dumb I am?

Rafe: No.

Nicole: Oh, you know, today just started out great. You know, at first, I was trying to find out if my business partner was gonna be charged with murder, yeah. Oh, and then, sami showed up. Yay! So I left so that she could tell allie in private what a whore I am. And then, I show up here, and my two “friends” are swapping details about my sex life.

Rafe: Hmm, I’m sorry.

Nicole: Oh, don’t worry about it. I’m used to my private life being in the public domain. “No secrets” walker, that’s what they call me.

Rafe: I’m sorry that you’re unhappy. And I’m sorry because I think part of it is my fault.

Sami: Sweetheart, nobody really knows what goes on in a marriage except the two people in it, okay? I know you are just trying to help me.

Allie: Fair enough.

Sami: And you’re right. Your father is a wonderful guy, and I do love him.

Allie: “But…”

Sami: I shouldn’t have come here to burden you with all of this. I really shouldn’t have. It’s not fair to you.

Allie: No, mom, I–I think I needed to get a lot of that off my chest.

Sami: [Laughs forcefully]

Allie: I think I needed you to know how I feel about ej and dad. Well, now I know. I love you. And I want you to give your little boy a big hug for me, okay?

Allie: Okay. Are you going?

Sami: Yeah, will you hand me my bag?

Allie: Yeah.

Sami: I have someone I have to see. Thank you. You know, I usually only get this kind of quality advice from your grandmother, and then I proceed to ignore it.

Allie: How is grandma?

Sami: I don’t know. I hope john finds her, gets her safe before she hurts herself or someone else.

[Sighs] I love you, sweetheart. I’ll see you later.

Allie: Love you.

[Sighs]

[Line trilling]

Ben: Hey, it’s ben. Leave a message.

Ciara: Damn it!

[Hangs up] Damn it, damn it, damn it.

[Cell phone ringing] Hello?

Susan: Ciara, thank god. Honey, I have been trying to reach you. I need to warn you about d–

Ciara: It’s okay, susan. I know about marlena. I mean, I know about the devil.

John: [Muffled screams]

Ben: You’re not going anywhere, john. Not until the cops get here.

John: [Muffled groan]

Ben: You ready to go?

Marlena: I’m ready.

Demon marlena: Ready to take your and ciara’s unborn child.

John: [Muffled screams]

[Dramatic music]

Serena: It’s my 3:10

Susan: You’re safe, yeah?

Ciara: Yeah, I locked all the doors, and belle is on her way over.

Susan: And you’re alone?

Ciara: Yeah, ben is alone with marlena, and shawn is on his way over to–to– susan, please pray for them.

Ben: Good, you’re here. We were just coming to see you.

Shawn: Really?

Ben: Yes, really. It’s john. You need to arrest this guy. He’s been terrorizing dr. Evans.

Shawn: No, ben, dr. Evans is the one terrorizing john, among others.

Ben: What are you talking about?

Shawn: It’s happened again. This is not marlena evans. This is the devil.

[Tense music]

Lucas: You okay?

Allie: Yeah. Well, I know that you have a lot going on with phil missing, and, I mean, I’m really worried about everything with grandma marlena, but I think I have some good news to share.

Lucas: All right, I’m listening.

Allie: I just had a long talk with mom, and I think maybe I got through to her.

Lucas: Yeah, right, that never happens; come on.

Allie: I know, usually not, and, I mean, there is a chance that I’m being overly optimistic, but I put in a good word for you. And I reminded her that you, unlike ej, love her and treat her respectfully and compassionately and all that. And I know that you guys still love each other.

Lucas: What did she say?

Allie: Well, she mainly listened, but I think that mom might finally be realizing that things are really over with her and ej and that if she’s going to be to be with anyone, she’s going to be with you.

[Sentimental music]

Susan: And right now, you need to ask yourself, and be honest, “do I still love sami?”

[Footsteps approaching]

Nicole: Your fault? Isn’t that a bit egotistical?

Rafe: Maybe, but what happened between us–

Nicole: [Sighs] It’s over.

Rafe: Is it?

[Whimsical holiday music]

Ridge: I can’t believe it. Taylor hayes, right here in front of me.

Taylor: I know, I know it’s been a while. And life goes on. A lot has changed, since I’ve been away. Some things haven’t changed at all.

Thomas: I, I still can’t believe it. Hold on a sec, so mom just showed up at your door?

Steffy: Yeah, she walked in like I was expecting her. I thought I was hallucinating.

Thomas: This is so great. I, I can’t wait to see her. And douglas is gonna be psyched.

Steffy: Oh, mom, can’t wait to hang out with her grandbabies. Fair warning: She is going to spoil them rotten.

Thomas: Wow, this is so great. We’ve been so dispersed for such a long time, now we’re finally in the same place.

Katie: You are in a terrible position, I mean, talk about caught in the middle.

Brooke: There’s no give on either side. Ridge is adamant about not wanting deacon around and hope is equally insistent on giving her father a place in her life.

Katie: How could you not support hope having the experience of reconciling with her father the way we did? Hope deserves to have a relationship with her dad.

[People grunting on video]

[Grunting]

[Door knocking]

Hope: Come in! Oh, hey, dad.

Deacon: I should have called first, don’t be shy. Just let me know. I just thought I’d drop by, saw liam’s car wasn’t in the driveway. Don’t want to over-step.

Hope: Ah, I’m going to tell you this as many times as you need to hear it, you will always be welcome in my home.

Deacon: Alright, I gotta admit, that was pretty cute seeing douglas drawing there while beth takes her nap.

Hope: Yep, he’s pretty protective of her.

Deacon: Keeping the goblins away, huh?

Hope: Yeah, something like that.

Deacon: I just, I can’t tell you what this means to be a part of my granddaughter’s life. Just even, you know, ducking and seeing her taking her nap means a lot.

Hope: Yeah, well I’m just excited for the two of you to get to know each other even more.

Deacon, well we’ve got a lot of lost time to make up for, but that is exactly what I intend on doing. I really do appreciate you and brooke giving me this chance.

Brooke: Hope let me read a few of the letters that deacon wrote to her from prison. And that’s when I realized that he was genuinely committed to being a good and present father. He just wants a place in hope’s life.

Katie: That’s something we could have only wished for with our father when we were growing up.

Brooke: All we ever wanted was dad’s love and attention.

Katie: It took a lot of work when he came back into our lives, but now we have a relationship with him that I wouldn’t trade for anything. Hope deserves that same opportunity.

Thomas: Yeah, I wonder if dad’s seen mom.

Steffy: Uh… I am sure they have not crossed paths yet.

Thomas: Oh? Are you going to tell him that she’s here? Or are you just going to let him be surprised?

Steffy: No, I’m going to let mom decide. Because I know when she sees dad, it’s going to be like a significant moment for her.

Thomas: In what way?

Steffy: I don’t know, I, I got the sense that mom, she still really loves dad.

Ridge: And I think that’s how we ended up in the same room, right?

Taylor: I think so.

Ridge: I’m glad you’re here.

Taylor: Oh, that means a lot coming from you.

Ridge: I mean it.

Taylor: Yeah. I think I’m going to stay here for a while.

Ridge: I can’t tell you how glad I am to hear that. Maybe it’s another refill at your favorite diner…

Katie: I don’t mean to dig up painful memories, but, how do we look away when hope’s situation is so similar to our own? I mean, our dad walked out on us when we were kids. He wasn’t there for us, and deacon wasn’t there when hope was growing up. And you know how that feels, how it feels to long for that absent parent.

Brooke: I was so conflicted about him not being there for her when she was young, even though it was probably the best thing for her. But still, it made me angry to know that he could hurt her without a second thought.

Katie: Of course it made you angry. It’s a terrible thing to do to a child. But if that, if that missing parent comes back and truly, truly, truly wants to make amends and wants to, to try to, to put their relationship back together, then, then, shouldn’t he have a chance? I mean, we gave our father the chance to salvage his relationship with us. I mean, what if the same thing could happen with hope and deacon? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if hope could have her father back in her life again?

Deacon: I wish I could go back sometimes, you know, and make better choices when it comes to you, been a constant presence in your life. You know, it’s funny. When I think about it, I don’t know why. I-I, there’s nothing that I’ve done in my life which makes up for the time that I’ve lost with you.

Hope: Well, we don’t have to look back at what we didn’t have. We can focus on what we’re building now.

Deacon: I just, I just appreciate the chance that you and brooke are giving me because I know what you’re risking by believing in me. Ridge and liam have already voiced their objections, those are pretty clear. I promise I’m not going to let you down.

Hope: Do I look worried?

Deacon: Actually, you don’T. Which is kind of weird, but… hey, what is that, a martial arts video?

Hope: Oh yes, I have actually been taking a self-defense class online.

Deacon: Really? Wow. You’re singing my song, I, who knew we have something else in common?

Steffy: Thankfully mom knew how to get you back.

Thomas: It comes in handy, having a shrink in the family.

Steffy: I’m proud of you for being open enough to accept her help.

Thomas: Yeah, well, I wanted to be better.

Steffy: And you are.

Thomas: Thanks to mom. Her wisdom.

Steffy: I’m so happy she’s back.

Thomas: Yeah, well, work kept her away for quite a while this time.

Steffy: Well, part of it was work. But I think she stayed away because it was just too hard to see dad living his life with brooke. You know what that means.

Thomas: I think you might be right. I think mom on some level is still in love with dad.

Steffy: Mm hm.

Taylor: And, you know, we get caught up in our own lives and our own drama.

Ridge: Mm hm.

Taylor: And it’s okay. Sometimes we have no choice.

Ridge: Cheers.

Taylor: But it’s nice to step out of the mindset of self and be there for others. There’s just so much going on in the world right now, you know? It can be overwhelming, so it’s, it’s such an honor for me to be able to to be there for people to help them…

Ridge: Why are you making it sounds like this is news to me? It’s not. You’re selfless. You’ve always been selfless.

Taylor: Hm. Not always. There’s a reason I came home and that’s all about me.

Ridge: What does that mean? I missed my kids. Hm, I had this yearning to reconnect with them, and to, to be hands-on with my grandkids. Video chat was great to keep up with steffy and thomas’s life, but… it was time for me to come home in person.

Ridge: Couldn’t agree more. You saw me walk in, I was just, I was, um… anyway, now I’m happy, and that’s because you. And I’m I’m glad you’re going to stick around for a while.

These are the faces

Hope: I didn’t realize you were into martial arts.

Deacon: Yeah, all my life. You know this, this online stuff it’s okay if you’re, you know, looking to get a little cardio in. But real martial arts, like karate. It’s about focus and discipline. Honor, respect, all things that I hope to show you. You know, if you um, if you want, I could, I could maybe teach you a couple of things.

Hope: Seriously?

Deacon: Yeah. Bow to your sensei.

Hope: Okay. Hey! Lesson one, eyes here. The most important thing is right in front of you.

Katie: What stands out to me are the holidays. I mean, we couldn’t really enjoy them the way other kids could. We were always waiting for, for your dad to see if he would come home or make a phone call or send a postcard. It’s cruel to leave your kids and never look back. I mean, how many times did we hold hands and pray for him to come home? That pain is a part of us. Just like storm’s heart is part of me. Our stormy. We leaned on him so much, we forced him into that role because dad abandoned it. It leaves scars. You know, if hope has a chance, another shot with deacon, then her wounds can heal. I don’t think you should let anyone make you feel like it’s wrong to not support that. If deacon says that he is ready and willing to be a father to hope and a grandfather to her children, then I say that’s something you should celebrate. I say it’s beautiful. It’s amazing.

Brooke: It is, it is. It is beautiful. If only ridge would see it that way.

Taylor: So tell me, as thomas’s father, from your perspective. After everything that you’ve witnessed between him and hope. How is our son doing? Is there any backsliding that I should know about?

Ridge: No, I think he’s doing great now. I watch him all the time. He’s, uh, in a good place. You should see some of the work he’s doing for hope for the future. It’s, it’s amazing. He’s so focused and committed. It’s good.

Taylor: And how is his relationship with hope?

Ridge: It’s fine, they’re friends, they work together, there’s no problem.

Taylor: I’m relieved.

>>Ridge: You’re relieved, but you can’t be surprised because thomas is where he is because of what you did.

Taylor: Ah, but thomas is the one that did all the work. But there is something that concerns me.

Ridge: About thomas?

Taylor: Douglas.

Ridge: Concerned about douglas, what? He’s a, he’s a little kid, he’s happy, he’s fine, he’s well-adjusted.

Taylor: Yeah, and that’s great, but why isn’t he living with his father? Shouldn’t thomas have his son back by now? Let’s not forget, douglas is a forrester.

Ridge: I don’t think anyone’s forgotten that he’s a forrester.

Taylor: It concerns me that he is living at brooke’s with hope, surrounded by all those logans at such an impressionable age.

Ridge: Okay, okay, alright.

Taylor: I don’t mean to sound ungrateful. I, I’m sure that hope has been wonderful to douglas, and, and brooke opened her door to him. I’m sure he’s very happy there.

Ridge: He is happy. And what makes you think he doesn’t see his father?

>>Taylor: Ah, seeing his father isn’t the same as living with him. Come on, ridge. A boy needs his father, especially at douglas’s age. And right now he’s living, he’s living in brooke’s cabin, on brooke’s property, with hope and liam. Where’s the biology?

Ridge: Where’s the biology? Biology’s right here, his very sexy grandfather’s right there for him.

Taylor: Yes, well thank god for you. It’s a good thing. You know what, I probably, I probably shouldn’t even be talking about this. I don’t want to cause any problems for you and brooke. What was that? What was that..? Is there trouble in your marriage? With age comes more…

Brooke: Thanks for your support. I really don’t get much of that when it comes to deacon. And that’s understandable. I mean, he doesn’t have the best track record. But that’s the whole point, right? People change. They evolve.

Kate: Yeah, I believe that.

Brooke: It’s not like hope and I have blinders on. We’re well aware of the disappointment that he’s caused her through the years.

Katie: But he regrets all that.

Brooke: Mhm, and hope desperately wants to have a relationship with him. So, I’m certainly not going to stop her. You know, so far, deacon’s been nice and genuine and loving. He’s not up to his old tricks, like taking advantage of people. Things aren’t missing.

Katie: Well, it took our dad years to redeem himself. He thought that that time had passed, but it hadn’t, and I just have to believe that with family, it’s, it’s never too late. Maybe that’s what deacon is trying to do. I mean, how can we not support hope in this? She’s getting a second chance with her father, just like we did with ours. I mean, it took a lot of work, but we, we reconciled and we forgave each other. And now we have a relationship with our dad that I wouldn’t trade for anything. And I know that you and donna feel the same way.

Brooke: I want that for her. I don’t want ridge and me to be the reason that she doesn’t have a relationship with her dad.

Katie; letting go of the past is never easy. But it can be done. And when it comes to family, forgiveness is never wrong. I’m sorry that ridge feels the way he does, but deacon is hope’s father. And they deserve a place in each other’s lives.

Brooke: Let’s just hope that ridge comes to the same conclusion.

Taylor: You know what? I take that back. I should not be questioning your, your marriage to brooke. I’m just going to assume that everything’s okay and leave it at that.

Ridge: Can we not do that, please? Can we not pretend that we don’t know each other. You could read me better than anyone, always. So yeah. There’s something that brooke and I are, something that we can’t agree on. Something, some, someone.

Taylor: Someone?

Ridge: Deacon sharpe.

Taylor: Isn’t he in prison?

Ridge: He was. Got out early, and now he’s here.

Taylor: So deacon’s back in town?

Ridge: Mhm. Sniffing around hope. Same old story, he’s trying to tell her that he’s a better person, a better father and… hope is buying it. She wants him in her life.

Taylor: Well, brooke can’t be okay with that.

Ridge: She wasn’t when he first came back. She was agreeing with me.

Taylor: Was like past tense?

Ridge: Yeah, past tense. I tell her, I tell hope who this guy really is, and no one’s listening and I almost get it. Hope wants to be with her dad. She wants to believe that he’s a good person, but brooke is buying this new version of deacon that he’s a, an improved man, and it troubles me.

Taylor: Well, of course it does. Especially considering brooke and deacon’s sordid past.

Ridge: Especially with that. Brooke… this man has brought nothing but pain and suffering. And she still wants him in her life, after everything he’s done to her, bridget, hope… I don’t know. I just don’t know what to do with it.

Taylor: I’m sorry. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

Abby: Sorry. Dominic was fussy.

Chance: What were you saying?

Abby: [ Chuckles ] I was saying I’m sorry that it took me so long to get dominic down. I thought you were probably bored down here, all alone, but it looks like you found a way to pass the time.

I sure did. Truth is, I asked dom for some help, right? I just needed him to keep mommy a little bit occupied so I could set up down here. Champagne?

Abby: Thank you. Should I be worried that our son, who’s only a few months old, is already plotting and hatching schemes?

Chance: Oh, no, no, no, no. He had the best intentions in mind.

Abby: What a thoughtful infant.

Chance: I know, right? And get this — he even gave the nanny the night off.

Abby: He’s already making personnel decisions, too?

Chance: Can you believe it?

Abby: [ Gasps ] Well, it looks like we’re almost all alone.

Chance: Hmm. “Almost”? What do you mean?

Abby: Your grandmother.

Chance: Ahh. See, jill is staying the night in chicago tonight. Work thing.

Abby: So it’s just the two of us…

Chance: Mm-hmm.

Abby: …All alone…

Chance: Mm.

Abby: …In this very big house. Whatever shall we do to pass the time?

Chance: Hmm.

[ Glasses clink ]

Amanda: Oh. I thought you were gonna spend the whole night in the shower. It must have felt good after your run, huh?

Devon: It felt great, yeah. What’s — what’s happening here? I thought we were gonna go out.

Amanda: Ah, well, that was a decoy.

Devon: A decoy?

Amanda: Mm-hmm.

Devon: I smell something really good from the kitchen, too.

Amanda: Mm-hmm. I, um, wanted to surprise you, so I threw together some shrimp and snow peas and saffron rice. It has a little kick to it, so i hope you can handle the heat.

Devon: I think you already know the answer to that question.

Amanda: Mm. Good. And don’t get used to me cooking you gourmet dinners because after imani and I open the firm, I am gonna be very, very busy.

Devon: Ah. Well… now, I only see two plates here. What do you know that I don’t?

Amanda: Well, I know that moses is watching the game with nate. So it’s just the two of us tonight. Is that a problem?

Devon: No, I don’t have a problem at all.

Noah: [ Exhaling sharply ]

[ Sniffles ]

[ Sighs ]

Adam: Noah. Let me, uh — let me buy you a drink.

Noah: Uh…I don’t know.

Adam: So, you meeting someone? Or hoping to meet someone? I promise I won’t cramp your style. We can sit at opposite ends of the bar, if that helps.

Noah: Sure. Why not? I think you’ve earned that privilege.

[ Sighs ]

Nick: Mom! Mom?

Victor: What happened?

Nick: I got a text from mom. She said I got to come right over. What happened?

Victor: I have no clue. What’s that all about?

Nikki: I’ll tell you. I am sick and tired of the tension between the two of you. I’ve had enough of it, and the holidays are fast approaching.

Nick: [ Sighs ] That’s the emergency?

Nikki: Well, the two of you seem determined to ruin them over this ridiculous standoff, but not if I have anything to say about it. And believe me — I do. Serena: It’s my 3:10

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Nick: Mother, I love you, but I do not appreciate the phony urgent message.

Nikki: Well, I’m sorry, but it was the most efficient method I had in getting you here.

Nick: I’m sure dad doesn’t like it, either.

Victor: No, no, on the contrary. I think it’s good if you and i can talk things out, okay? And if your mother used some subterfuge to get you here, that’s alright.

Nick: Clearly you learned this trick from him.

Nikki: Look, I am willing to do whatever it takes to keep this family together, and i don’t need anyone’s influence or permission to do that.

Victor: Sweetheart, we appreciate your efforts.

Nikki: Good. I’m going to leave you to sort that out, but I will not be far in case there’s trouble.

Victor: Okay, okay. Mm-hmm. So, son, what’s up?

Nick: I mean, why even try? We have talked about this a thousand times. Nothing ever gets settled.

Victor: We haven’t talked about this a thousand times. We’ve talked about this once, at your sister’s wedding, in the heat of the moment. And since that time, you’ve been avoiding me.

Nick: I’ve been busy.

Victor: Oh, yeah? Well, so have I, son. That’s why I didn’t press the issue, okay? Now, I guess most other conflicts have been solved. I mean, chance is home. Abby has her family. Victoria is happily married to ashland locke. And billy boy was kept at bay.

Nick: Thanks to adam.

Victor: Yeah. Your mother was very effective in neutralizing billy boy abbott. She doesn’t like him, you know, especially after that exposé that billy boy published.

Nick: Well, I’m not gonna defend billy, especially to you.

Victor: Please don’T.

Nick: And I can understand why you would bring up my siblings. I mean, they all seem pretty cool with the way you’re behaving. You want to work things out with me, you begin by playing us against each other. Not a great start.

Noah: So, the real question is, did you come here hoping to meet someone?

Adam: Uh, that is the furthest thing from my mind at this point.

Noah: Mm.

Adam: All I’m focused on is the business and my son.

Noah: Yeah, but you got some holiday parties coming up, right?

Adam: Mm. A few.

Noah: So, who you taking? Now, I remember you brought sally to the wedding in italy.

Adam: Mm. No. We’re just colleagues. That was, um — that was all about getting the dress she designed in victoria’s hands. Why you asking about sally? Are you, uh, interested in her?

Noah: No. [ Clears throat ] No, I was — I was just wondering. Connor had mentioned that chelsea might be coming home soon.

Adam: I hope she does. Be good for connor… and for newman media.

Noah: But not for you?

Adam: [ Sighs ] The, uh — the way that we flamed out, that was enough to scare me away from relationships altogether. So I will leave the romance to people who are much better at it than I am.

Abby: Thank you.

[ Laughter ]

[ Indistinct speaking ]

[ Laughter ] Oh, look at this one. Honestly, I thought I was getting my floors cleaned.

Devon: I got to tell you, I was very, very impressed with how delicious that dinner was.

Amanda: Yeah?

Devon: Uh-huh.

Amanda: Good, because i really wanted to surprise you. I didn’t want to go out again.

Devon: Oh, no, it was a great idea. We didn’t have to worry about running into anybody, and it could just be the two of us.

Amanda: Yeah. And it was nice to just decompress after the past few weeks that we’ve had.

Devon: I know, and if i haven’t said thank you enough for how patient you were while dominic was staying with us…

Amanda: You have thanked me many, many times. And you don’t have to, okay? Dominic is — he’s adorable, and he is the sweetest little baby.

Devon: I know, but it’s still not what you signed up for when you moved in here.

Amanda: Maybe it’s not, but, you know, I have to admit that i really have loved seeing that side of you. You know, I just — [ Chuckles ] You’re so sweet and nurturing, not to mention sexy as hell.

Devon: [ Laughs ] Well, I’m just happy that I was able to be there, you know, able to step up like that. I made a promise to dominic the day he was born that I’d always be there for him, so it’s — no. It’s good. I’m happy that chance is back home now and, you know, that everything can go back to normal.

Amanda: You know, um… I-I get it. I really understand why you have to put on a happy face for abby and for chance, but it’s just the two of us. You can tell me how you really feel.

Devon: That’s what I’m doing.

Amanda: No. I can tell that there’s a lot more in your heart that you’re not letting out. And you can trust me with this, okay? How do you feel now that dominic’s gone?

Devon: How do I feel? I mean, I got used to him being around here, so…

Amanda: And?

Devon: I miss him… every single day. I miss him so much that it hurts.

Abby: What are you thinking about?

Chance: [ Smooches ] Nothing. My, uh, mind just wandered a little.

Abby: I’m just wondering what put that frown on your face.

Chance: It’s nothing. I promise. [ Smooches ]

Abby: Okay. You don’t have to tell me. Or maybe you can when you’re ready, someday.

Chance: What I keep coming back to…you know, the thought that I’m stuck with… is the way that I left when i did. I just left. Then I was gone. We didn’t talk about it or anything. I mean, that’s just so unfair to you.

Abby: Yeah, it was a bit shocking, coming home and just finding a letter explaining what happened, why you were leaving. But that’s your sense of duty. It’s one of the things I fell in love with.

Chance: Yeah, that was my rationale at the time. It was my duty. I had to go. I mean, I don’t know. Looking back on it now, i just…

[ Sighs ] I think there might have been more to it.

Abby: What do you mean?

Chance: I mean, I think some of it had to do with what was going on between us.

Victor: Son, I honestly don’t know what you’re getting at. I mean, do you think that I have paid more attention to your siblings or what?

Nick: You know what? You can try and frame it like that, but that is not the case.

Victor: Mm.

Nick: I’m very glad that you’ve been able to help some of your children through some difficult times. I’m sure they appreciate the support. They may even think it’s gonna last.

Victor: You know that I’ll always be there for my children.

Nick: Yeah, but, see, your support is conditional. You know, it’s contingent upon us toeing the line. Vick and abby — they run businesses that you approve of. They’re in marriages that you approve of.

Victor: [ Breathes deeply ]

Nick: Why you were cool with ashland I will never understand, but maybe it’s just enough that he’s not billy. And adam? Wow. I mean, what more could anyone ask for, right? He’s loyal, follows your rules, obeys your orders. He’s no longer with chelsea, who I know you never trusted.

Victor: Never will.

Nick: But I know this period of peace and tranquility is temporary because someday soon one of them’s gonna do something that you don’t like. They’re gonna make a business decision that you disagree with or get involved with someone that you don’t care for. And then the tables will be turned because no one’s really on super solid ground with you, dad. One disagreement, and all of a sudden you’re on the outside.

Victor: And you think that’s what I’ve done to you?

Nick: Yeah. I do.

Victor: Son, why would I kick you outside? I mean, I don’t understand that. Why? Because I didn’t ask you to join me in getting rid of gaines at victoria’s wedding? Or because I didn’t ask you to help me contain billy boy’s disturbance at the wedding? Was that the test that I didn’t pass?

Abby: Alright, so, I am a little confused. What was going on between us that sent you running off to spain?

Chance: Baby, I shouldn’t have put it that way. I’m sorry. I didn’t want to leave you.

[ Sighs ] It was just — it was really hard on me, the feeling that i let you down.

Abby: What are you talking about? You’re the perfect husband.

Chance: No, I’m not. No, I’m not, abby. I failed you. I couldn’t give you a baby. I couldn’t do that for you.

Abby: No. But I thought that you had come to terms with what we had to do. I thought that you had made peace with it.

Chance: No, I — it was how I wanted to feel, not how I actually did.

Abby: Well, I wish you would have told me. I would have understood.

Chance: I know. I know, baby. And I’m — I’m sorry. I just wanted to explain what was going on in my head at the time. I-I hate saying it. I hate it. But it was almost a relief, you know, going on a mission. I knew I was good at that. At least, I thought I was good at that. But I never thought that I would be gone for so long. I thought it was gonna be a couple weeks, a month at tops, I promise.

Abby: Yeah. I thought that you’d be home before the baby was born.

Chance: I know. Me too. I understand if you’re angry at me. I mean, you have every right to be.

Abby: No. I have no room in my heart for anger because I am just so happy that you’re home. And, look, let me make one thing very clear. I wouldn’t have had a baby if it weren’t for you. I mean, this whole idea, this plan to start a family — that was all you. And I never would have been able to have the courage to follow through with it if I didn’t have your full support. So, yes, we did need help from friends to make our dream a reality, but when I look at our beautiful baby boy… all I see is this gift, this gift that you gave me. And when I thought that you weren’t gonna come home, that you wouldn’t be able to meet your son [Sighs] It killed me. So I just want you to know that, yes, you have some things that you’re going through, but you’re home. And I know that you are gonna be the most amazing father.

Amanda: I think that it’s perfectly normal for you to miss dom. You threw yourself into caring for him, and you have such a unique bond.

Devon: Yeah. I just — I never knew that — how much babies can communicate without even speaking. ‘Cause, like, I swear that i would — I would be able to know what he was feeling and what he was thinking and what his little sounds meant, you know, when he was tired or when he was hungry, and know, like, just the right things to do to get him to smile or to get him to go to bed. I’m sure chance will learn all that stuff, too.

Amanda: Yeah. I’m that he will. But I know that that doesn’t make it any less of a loss for you now that dom isn’t living here.

Devon: I don’t want you to get me wrong, either. I don’t want you to think that I’m not happy that chance is back ’cause I am.

Amanda: I know.

Devon: You know?

Amanda: Of course.

Devon: It’s just that everyone started to assume that I was gonna take over that role in dominic’s life. And even abby said it. She said that I’m — I’m the only father he’ll ever know.

Amanda: Well, that’s because she believed that at the time.

Devon: No, yeah, and so did I. Or I started to let myself believe it. I started letting myself believe that he’d call me dad one day. But he’s not gonna do that, and I have to let go of that idea. And I’m just — I’m — I haven’t figured out how to do that yet.

Amanda: It’s gonna be okay. Okay? You know, this feeling that you’re feeling right now, this pain — it’s just — it’s because you — you give away pieces of your heart. But that’s also what makes you such a good man.

Devon: I don’t know about that ’cause what I’m feeling seems like it’s selfish.

Amanda: No. No. It is not selfish. It is completely understandable. The bond that you have with dominic — it is not gonna change, no matter what he calls you. He’s always gonna know that you have his back. Devon, everyone that you love knows how lucky they are to have you in their lives. I hope you know how loved you are in return.

Devon: I know that I love you. Thank you.

Amanda: Yeah?

Devon: Yeah.

[ Both chuckle ]

Nick: The situation in tuscany could have really backfired because you didn’t keep me in the loop. I was this close to disrupting victoria’s wedding.

Victor: But you didn’t, so why are you upset about it now?

Nick: I’m saying it could have been a disaster because i didn’t have all the information. You turned to adam and shut me out.

Victor: Has it ever occurred to you that adam might have been looking for an opportunity to prove himself, that he wanted to do something that made him acceptable to the family? You never had to do that.

Nick: Don’t I?

Victor: You have often disapproved of your father’s actions, both in regard to family matters and business, right?

Nick: Yeah. Well, I think it bothers you that I have a conscience.

Victor: Do you think I was going to discuss the subtleties of morality with you in tuscany, in the midst of that crisis? You walked around as if you didn’t want to be there! So I turned to adam to assist me.

Nick: And I had no say in that matter.

Victor: I honestly did not think that you were even interested in that matter. You didn’t want your sister to get married to that guy! Right? So I didn’t think you had any input!

Nick: And there it is. If you know I’m gonna disagree with you, then you don’t have any need for me, do you? Can you understand why that would bother me?

New vicks convenience pack.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Abby: What are you doing?

Chance: I don’t think this thing is working right.

Abby: Yes, it is.

Chance: Well, I mean, i haven’t heard a noise in a long time. Have you?

Abby: Because dom is fast asleep. Hey, do not jinx it.

Chance: Okay, I’m just, like, a little worried about —

[ Dominic cooing ] Oh.

Abby: There you go.

Chance: There you go.

Abby: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. You feel better now?

Chance: Yeah.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] Don’t worry. You’ll get the hang of it. This is nice.

Chance: It sure is. I love it when it’s just you and me.

Abby: Yeah. That reminds me of when you were living in the hotel and we would stay up all night just talking about our future.

Chance: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: [ Yawns ]

Chance: Oh, you’re not staying up all night tonight, huh, sleepy?

Abby: [ Laughs ] Yes, yes, i am because I have — I have some questions I want to ask you.

Chance: Yeah? Like what?

Abby: Like what can I do to make this transition easier on you?

Chance: Oh, baby. You’re doing everything that you can.

Abby: Mm.

Chance: I got to do some of it on my own. I’ll promise you one thing. I will never prioritize work over family again.

Abby: Good. But I know how important work it to you.

Chance: Yeah, well, I’m gonna have to find a balance when i go back to the gcpd.

Abby: You know, don’t ever change for me. Who you are is exactly who i want you to be. Mm.

Chance: Close your eyes. Rest.

Noah: You know, we got so many good shots right there on the coffeehouse patio. Tess was really happy.

Adam: So, you just turned crimson lights into your own personal studio?

Noah: Yeah.

Adam: Your mom must have loved that.

Noah: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, well, you know how she is. Supportive, always down to help out.

Adam: That sounds like sharon.

Noah: And we also talked about your job offer.

Adam: Yeah? What’d she say?

Noah: She reminded me that we all make mistakes, told me that I shouldn’t hold your past against you and I should treat this opportunity just like any other and give you the chance to prove that you’re being sincere.

Adam: I did not tell her to say that, by the way.

Noah: Yeah. I believe you. It was good advice, though. It got me thinking.

Adam: Any conclusions?

Noah: [ Sighs ] I’ve decided to take you up on your offer.

Adam: I’m glad to hear that.

Victor: I think you’re reading too much into what happened in tuscany, alright? I did what I had to do. There was a crisis. I solved it.

Nick: And I’m guessing you aren’t gonna apologize for that.

Victor: Why the hell would I? I did everything in my power to ensure your sister’s happiness during her wedding! Besides that, I know what your advice would have been.

Nick: And you didn’t want to hear it.

Victor: No, I didn’T. What if I had come to you and said, “son, I’d like your advice, okay? Give it to me. Aha. Well, I don’t like it now. I’m going in a different direction.” What would you have done?

Nick: It would have been a start.

Victor: To hell with it. You would never have accepted it.

Nick: It doesn’t matter because that scenario never would happen because you don’t want to hear opposing viewpoints.

Victor: I’ve made my own judgments ever since I was a little boy! I grew up without parents! I built a huge empire and a family! Do you think I’m gonna apologize for what the hell I do?! Is that your test for me? Is that what I failed? So be it!

Chance: [ Sighs ]

[ Breathes deeply ]

Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Victor: Sorry, son, that things got a little heated, okay? But I get the feeling that you’re sitting in judgment of me. I guess you don’t like what I’ve said.

Nick: Ah, you’re not the first person to say that.

Victor: Oh?

Nick: Phyllis, uh… she said something like that. She said that I, uh [Sighs] Would give her ultimatums, uh, about being who she was or we end the relationship.

Victor: I honestly don’t give a damn what that woman thinks. I just hope that, uh, you realize that you and I can disagree with one another without disrespecting each other, right? I mean, by the way, you’re the one who avoided me. To be frank with you, that was hurtful.

Nick: Yeah, uh…I know. It was just… so you know, I wasn’t doing that out of anger or frustration. You know, I’ve been really looking at the situation, talking to sharon about it. I’ve come to accept the fact that I have a huge part of this blame. I guess I hold people to different standards. You know, if they don’t, uh, fall in line with me, then i tend to wash my hands of them.

Victor: Well, wait a minute. That sounds like something i would be accused of.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] It does, doesn’t it?

Victor: Yeah. It does.

Nick: Well, then I guess my problem is that we are not too different. Maybe we’re too similar.

Victor: Yeah, well, you know, maybe we are. I’ve heard adam complain about the fact that he never knows where he stands with me. I’ve heard your sister utter the same sentiments. I just am who I am, you know? Not gonna change. But, son…you know that I would give my life for any of you.

Nick: I know you would. You just don’t always want to hear from us.

Victor: To be very honest with you, I don’t, you know? And I’m sure you’ll never have this conversation with your kids. You know, I got to tell you something. The reason you won’t have that conversation with them is because you have always been loving with them. You’ve always been there for them, from the very beginning, always been reassuring, you know? I bet you they feel very sure of themselves because of you. Which means… I think, in many ways, you have been a better father than I have been.

Devon: What are the odds of us running into each other twice in one day, man?

Chance: Well, I guess we’re just lucky, huh?

Devon: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. I’ll have what he’s having, please.

Chance: Oh, here. Have mine. I haven’t even touched it.

Devon: Oh. Is abby here?

Chance: No, she’s back at home, sleeping. Not a care in the world.

Devon: Amanda’s doing the exact same thing. And my question is, how do they do it?

Chance: Man, you are telling me. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in a long time. You know, the seven-hour time difference still has me jacked up a little bit, so…

Devon: I can imagine. I wish I had a good excuse like that. I just can’t turn my mind off.

Chance: Yeah.

Devon: Hey, are you okay? Like, you doing alright? ‘Cause it kind of seems like you’re not.

When you have nausea,

[ Glasses clink ]

Devon: I hope I didn’t offend you.

Chance: No, man, no. Ahh. That’s very perceptive of you, actually.

Devon: Yeah?

Chance: No. I’m not okay. And — and it’s getting harder to pretend like I am.

Devon: Who you pretending for?

Chance: Feels like everyone.

Devon: Even abby?

Chance: I mean, I can — I can talk to her about some of it, but not everything.

Devon: Well, that’s unfortunate, man, ’cause I know that she would want to know what’s going on with you.

Chance: Yeah. You’re right. She would.

Devon: Yeah. She’d want to help you.

Chance: She absolutely would. She’d want to reassure me that everything is great and that i haven’t done anything wrong. And in her eyes, I’m the perfect husband and the perfect father.

Devon: You don’t see yourself like that?

Chance: Not even close.

Devon: Okay. Well, I mean, the fact that she does — that’s a good thing, right?

Chance: It’s just not who i am, man. I let her down before our baby was even born. I mean, I failed her.

Devon: I don’t know how you figure that you failed anybody. You’re home. You made it. You’re alive. You know, you have a brand-new son. You got a great wife.

Chance: Do I deserve it? You know, I made commitments to abby and dominic. I’m gonna do everything that i can to try to live up to them. But — but the question is, can I?

Nick: I never meant for this to turn into a “who’s the better father?” Contest.

Victor: Well, if that were the only contest, I wouldn’t mind losing it, you know? You know that every father wants his son to be better than them. You know that. And you are. Now, I certainly was a better father than that son of a bitch albert miller. But that was a low bar to clear.

Nick: Well, it’s pretty damn impressive, you know. You didn’t have any parents to teach you how to be a father.

Victor: No, I certainly didn’T. I didn’t have a mother or a father, you know? I just remember those dreadful people in that damn orphanage. Yeah. However, whatever good I’ve done in my life, I must say i attribute some of it to your mother.

Nick: She is amazing. But don’t sell yourself short, okay, dad?

Victor: [ Sighs ] Yeah, but, you know, in very important moments in my life, she has always been there with very good advice. She has helped me a lot. But I got to tell you something, son. You make me proud to be a grandfather. When I see you with your kids, it makes me happy. Makes me proud. Come here.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

you are doing great, mrs. M. Does that mean dr. Finn will release me today? I was just coming by to give you the good news. I know you can’t wait to get home. But what about me? Oh, I — I’m gonna miss you, mrs. M. I will miss you, too, dr. Ashford.

[ Chuckles ] Aunt stella?! Wha…

[ Laughs ] In the flesh! Oh, and I’m so darn proud of you right now, my heart’s about to fly right out of my chest! Look at you! Ah!

[ Laughs ] Marshall: You could tell tj the simple truth — I came back here to reconnect with my family. We are not and never will be your family. Nice place you got here. Spare a few minutes for an old friend? Drew. Sorry I’m late. Oh. I was finishing up a presentation for my art class and I just lost track of time. You care about what you’re doing. That is a good thing. Still, I told you how tough professor leckie is. I don’t want to blow this. You won’T. Your professor already told you you were gonna get an “a” because of the wonderful exhibition you put on at ava’s gallery. The presentation’s just icing on the cake.

[ Singsong voice ] My daughter is the star of pcu.

[ Laughs ] If that’s true, then why do I feel like such a loser? Don’t be disingenuous. Prison bars are no impediment to you. Even with peter in solitary, you still got people on the inside that can reach him. Look, peter’s not even on my radar. Alright. So, we both know that his arraignment is today. And, um… peter could be vulnerable during transportation to the courthouse. You giving me a roadmap? What are you guys talking about? I just found out. I’m sorry. I haven’t seen you since before… since before we knew jason was dead. I can’t imagine how difficult this has been for you. I wish peter had died when you pushed him down those stairs.

[ Respirator hissing,monitor beeping ] All those tubes, they — they don’t hurt him? He isn’t in any pain. Watching these sweet little babies probably reminds you of your own loss. Louise will be home someday. I just hope britt is saying the same thing to sasha and brando about their baby. I know how difficult these last few days have been for you. It’ll be all worth it if you’re here to tell us that we can take liam home today. That is why you’re here, right?

I’m sorry. Liam won’t be going home with you today. S-so tomorrow, then? Yeah, or the day after? Let’s start first with the results of liam’s eeg. I’m so sorry. The tests indicate liam has brain damage. Anna was just telling me that peter august, uh, his arraignment’s today. Any chance peter’s gonna confess and be locked up for life? I don’t know. I just was with him in pentonville, and he’s still under the illusion that he and maxie and their baby are gonna be reunited. Oh, my god. They have to find the baby first. Yeah. Okay, peter’s responsible for jason’s death. There’s no way in hell he’s going free.

[ Cellphone rings ] No. Excuse me. I have to take this.

[ Sighs ] Sonny. [ Scoffs ] I can — I can guarantee that peter august has no future. How could you feel like a loser? It can’t be your grades. You said that you were doing well in all of your classes. Has something changed? Kind of. What is it? You know that cam and joss are together. Mm-hmm. So are spencer and esme — since boarding school, I guess. And you’re feeling like the fifth wheel? We’re all supposed to go away for a weekend, and I already know that esme will take every opportunity to remind me I don’t have anybody in my life. Well, of course she will. You want to know why? Because she is threatened by your smarts and your talent. You have to say that. You’re my mom. Does it really bother you that much, not having a boyfriend? I thought I raised you to be independent and not attach your self-esteem onto someone else. You did. And you were my role model. After you and dad split up, you hardly dated anyone. You were all about me and medicine. Mm-hmm. Until you and curtis met up again. W-we’re not talking about me right now, trina. We are now. Oh. For a while, it seemed like you and curtis were getting serious, and now I hardly see you two together. What happened? Now, you better tell me that somebody let you know that I was alive. Well, sam came in about a month ago, said she got a call. Okay. She believed it was from you. She was convinced you were alive, man, and she couldn’t be reasoned out of it. Well, tenacity, that’s just sam’s middle name, right? Well, it paid off, ’cause here you are and not killed in a plane crash. Faked by peter august. So, that guy held you captive the whole time, huh? Not that I knew he was responsible, not until the very end. Peter never showed his face. Peter has been raising all kind of hell around here. I mean, disappearing from G.H. To elude the cops. He almost got nina and her friend killed when he set fire to her friend’s bar. And, of course, killing jason when that tunnel at cassadine island collapsed.

[ Sighs ] I guess it’s true what they say about the devil. That he’s busy? That he can multitask. I know how guilty you felt when you thought you had killed peter. But if he had died, then jason would still be alive. Jake would still have his dad. How’s he doing? He was already grieving franco, and now jason. It’s just more than any kid should ever have to process. Yes, it is. I’m so sorry. It’s infuriating knowing that peter is responsible for both franco and jason’s deaths. Peter’s in custody. And he’s gonna spend the rest of his life rotting in jail. I hope so. I wish there was something I could do to make you feel better. Is there anything you can tell me about liam’s condition that doesn’t breach hipaa? I’m afraid not. Yeah. That’s okay. I’m sure brando and sasha will tell me. I’m gonna stick around here just for moral support. I think that’s a really bad idea. Brain — brain damage? Are you sure? I mean, don’t these tests have a margin of error? You know that liam’s brain was deprived of oxygen during the placental abruption. Yes, and you thought that a cooling treatment would help give his brain a chance to recover from the trauma for 72 hours. Which was up this morning. So, the doctors took an eeg, and that test indicates the levels of liam’s brain activity. And? And the eeg test results indicate that liam has little to no activity in his brain.

Little or no brain activity? W-what does that even mean? Liam has no cognitive function. Or motor function. He has no capacity to think or grow. His life can only be sustained through machinery. I am so, so sorry. I mean, well, can’t we try the cooling therapy again? That should help, right? The outcome would be the same.

[ Voice breaking ] I mean, how do you know if you don’t try? Brando, sasha, the tests show an almost complete lack of brain activity. The cooling blanket won’t change that. But there must be some other therapy that will, right? Yeah. What about — what about surgery? Unfortunately, there’s nothing more that we can do for liam.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Sobs ] Brando and sasha are speaking with dr. Westbourne and dr. Fleming right now. Yeah, I know. And they’re probably gonna want a friend around for support once they get their baby’s prognosis, good news or bad. Maxie, your heart is in the right place. But I’ve worked with patients for enough years to know how they react to news that they receive about themselves or a loved one. After sasha and brando speak with the doctors, they’re gonna want to come here to nicu to be with their baby. Just the three of them. To sit with the news, talk to each other. Celebrate…or not. You understand me? Yeah. You’re saying the best way for me to be a friend is to leave them alone for a while.

[ Monitor beeping ] Thank you. I didn’t know I needed a hug.

[ Chuckles ] I didn’t know how much I needed to see you smile.

[ Chuckles ] We should do this more often. Definitely. Let’s make a date for the next one.

[ Laughs ] I’ll be sure to invite your laugh.

[ Cellphone beeps ] Mm.

[ Sighs ]

[ Chuckles ] It’s emergency. I have to go. Yeah, me too. I’m covering the E.R. Then I’m going your way. They just brought someone in. That was warden alvarez from pentonville. Is this about peter? He doesn’t know what happened, but peter’s on his way to general hospital. Oh. Oh, god, please tell me he’s dying. I don’t know. I got to go to the E.R. So, I’ll keep you posted. Hey. Do you know what happened to peter? My doctors in baltimore told me that I have completely recovered from my stroke. Wow. And that I can resume my normal activities. And you made G.H. Your first stop? Aren’t you fed up with doctors?

[ Scoffs ] Not when my great-nephew is one. What?!

[ Both laugh ] How’s molly? Wonderful. Busy championing the cause of justice and changing the world. I’d expect nothing less from her. Mm. Does curtis know you’re here? No. And I refuse to see him until I know what he’s hiding from me. Thomas jr.? What’s going on with your uncle? So, clearly, you are out of the P.I. Business and you are in the nightclub business. Yeah, brother. I, uh — I got tired of the constant daily stream of lies and — and — and cheating, you know? So, the owner, he just happened to be selling the place and I was ready for a change. I love it. I love it. I mean, this is a nice move. This place screams good times and good music. And happy reunions. So, when am I taking you and jordan out to dinner?

[ Dramatic music plays ]

[ Monitor beeping ]

Hi. Anna! What are you doing here? Uh, visiting sasha and brando. What about you? Are you here for your phlebotomy treatment? Maxie, peter’s been brought here from pentonville. He’s in the E.R. What did the triage nurse say? Apparently, a guard found peter unresponsive in his cell. He was transferred to the prison infirmary. When he couldn’t revived, the warden called 911. But there’s — there’s no sign of trauma, there’s no injuries, there’s no blood anywhere on his body. Well, what do we got? Bp’s 80 over 40, pulse is 42, respiration’s 4 to 6 and shallow. Alright, let’s start him on a norepinephrine drip and run a toxicology panel. Tell me he’s gonna die. That his life will be cut short like franco’s and these next few breaths will be his last. I don’t know what happened to peter. Why should I? Uh, maybe because you and selina wu had your heads close together earlier. And then she approached me and said something cryptic about protecting family. The next thing I know, peter’s on the way to the hospital. Come on. Even anna thinks you know something. How could i possibly know? Please don’t do that. Well… I’m your wife. I deserve to know if you sought justice for jason. Alright. You deserve to know the truth. You’re right.

[ Whispers ] I put out the hit on peter. Curtis and I have jobs that keep us busy. So that’s why we’re taking things slow. Because of your jobs? Or because of me? Look, I know I was snarky when I learned that you were with curtis while still married to my dad. But I’m over it now, mom. Thank you, sweetheart. Uh, but that’s not the reason why curtis and i are taking things slow. He has a lot going on right now. Um…plus, the savoy. More important than you? Oh, my god. Is he seeing someone else? Did he go back to jordan? N-neither. And you know this how? I know this because curtis told me. So, what is it? Hello, dr. Robinson. I don’t know what to be sorry about more — your split with jordan or her health issues.

[ Sighs ] Jordan will be fine. It’s just gonna take some time. A lot of time, unfortunately. Any chance of you guys making your marriage work when she comes back to port charles? I’ll admit, seeing her so ill in that hospital reminded me that I still — I’m still in love with her. Mm. But I’m not willing to live with those secrets anymore. So, I made a break. Started over. I’m trying to start over, myself. Easier said than done, right? Yeah. Sam and I were over for months when peter faked that plane crash, and then I was held captive for two years after that. And yet as soon as I got hold of the guard’s phone, sam was the only person that I thought to call. That makes sense, man. She’s the mother of your child. She’s always gonna be important to you. She seems happy, and… that’s all I want for her. Well, just so you know… she never gave up fighting for you. She didn’T. She didn’T. She, uh, came all the way to crete, only went home because they told her peter shot me and they couldn’t recover my body. Peter august again. Staged the whole thing. Wow. He also took liesl obrecht prisoner, and britt needed help to rescue her mom, so she turned to jason. It just kills me the way things turned out. Now…jason is dead and I am here trying to figure out how to live my life in a way that honors him. I’m not sure what you mean. Uncle curtis is fine. Uh-huh. Then why is it that every phone conversation I have with him, I can tell he’s hiding something from me? Have you asked him? Of course. All I get is the classic curtis ashford dodge. Is it jordan? Has she taken a turn for the worse? No, no. Mom is doing okay. Molly and I visit her at least once a week. This has nothing to do with her. Ah! Then you do know something about your uncle.

[ Sighs ] No, don’t you look away from me. Come clean and tell me how I can help my nephew. There is nothing that you can do for our baby? Nothing? We could wait and see, right? Give liam a chance to improve on his own. Sasha… liam’s brain doesn’t have the capacity to improve. He suffered a significant trauma that ensures he will not be able to breathe without help or eat without a feeding tube. Liam will likely suffer from seizures. Look, all this means is that liam will need lots and lots of care. And we can handle that. Whatever the challenges. With a lot of love, a lot of hard work, w-we can give liam a better life. Yeah. Okay? I think we need to take some deep breaths and wrap your heads around this… and be realistic. I think we are. You still have some important decisions to make for your son.

the only decision brando and I have to make is when we’re gonna take our baby home. There is — why don’t you two take some time to process what you’ve learned? We have two specialists from other hospitals confirming the eeg results just to be double sure. But just know right now your baby is getting the best possible care. And may we speak to these other specialists? Of course. And we also have counselors and social workers on hand for help. I think dr. Collins is available. We could have him come in — no, no, I-I don’t need to speak to dr. Collins. I need to see my son. So do I. Of course. I know. I know I should have told them what needs to happen next with their son, but I-I just couldn’T. Not yet. You heard that peter’s been brought in? Yeah. How is he? Do you know? What’s happening? How is he? This isn’t some trick, is it? Where he’s faking being sick and then uses everyone’s distraction to escape? It’s not a trick. Peter’s in critical condition. I managed to stabilize him, but all I can do now is wait for his test results. Okay, I just saw him at pentonville, and he was fine. He was getting ready for his arraignment, given a preliminary examination, it’s very possible that peter ingested a toxin. What, like he did to chase? Someone poisoned him? It’s possible. Again, it’s too soon to say for sure. May I speak to you for a second? Whoa. Peter was terrified someone would get to him in prison. Maxie: I need to talk to you about peter. I just came from seeing that bastard. What’s on your mind? Okay, well, I want to know what you’re gonna do about him. I want him dead. Looks like he was right. Thank you for telling me the truth. And thank you for doing what you did. So many people are gonna be grateful, especially maxie and drew. That son of a bitch has to die. I think justice would be better served if peter suffered a slow and painful death. That’s actually what I promised peter. I just didn’t know, like, when or how it was gonna happen. Well, I know who you are now, and why you were asking all those questions about curtis.

[ Chuckling ] Well, I, uh… I apologize for being so — uh, what should I say? — Disingenuous about my identity. I was trying to find out how curtis might react to my return. And I heard it did not go very well for you. No, no, it, uh — it didn’T. Uh, not that I’m blaming curtis. As well you shouldn’T. Mom, what’s going on? Oh, forgive me for not introducing myself. I’m marshall. Marshall ashford. Curtis’ father. I’ve been where you are, my friend. Yes, you have. You’ve lost your brother, as well. That grief stays with you, so if there’s anything I can do to make it easier for you, man, you let me know. I will. Thanks, man. Now, other than jordan, how’s everything going? I saw you studying your tablet earlier. Looked like it was delivering some bad news. Yeah, I was trying to look into someone’s background and I kept coming up empty. Can you tell me what it’s about? Maybe I can help. It’s about someone that I thought was dead, and it turns out he’s alive. It happens.

[ Chuckles ] Unlike with you… I wasn’t happy to see this person. Who is it? My father.

It must be really hard to stay professional while you’re treating peter. It’s not easy. But I have a job to do, no matter who the patient is. Even if that patient killed your husband? Normally, the hospital wouldn’t let me within 100 feet of him. But we’re understaffed and everyone else is with other patients. I’m sorry, elizabeth. I shouldn’t have brought it up. All you did was say it out loud. I always think about what peter did to franco… and then compounded the grief and misery by framing jason for his murder. Jason. Another person peter killed. Leaving jake without a dad. Jake must be devastated.

[ Scoffs ] He’s a mess, seesawing back and forth between grief and anger. I’m getting him counseling, but it’s not fair that my kid should have to struggle with all this loss while peter’s benefiting from the very best medical care. I’m so sorry, elizabeth. But you understand, right? Because of peter, your daughter’s missing. Doesn’t at least part of you want to let peter die? Peter’s still alive. There’s nothing I can do to treat him until I confirm he’s been poisoned. Let’s hope that takes a really long time. So, I just spoke to warden alvarez, and, uh, he’s treating peter’s cell as a crime scene. So, if someone tried to kill him, they’re going to identify that person. Oh, so they can award them the medal of freedom? I just wonder how long jason was alive under that collapsed tunnel, just — just thinking, like… when he’s gonna die. I don’t want to think about that. No, I know. I know. And that’s why you concentrate on your work and all that, but sometimes that doesn’t work. And I know that, uh… …peter’s death doesn’t make up for all the pain that he’s caused you. The pain that he’s caused us. I assume this lovely young lady is your daughter. And I’m getting the feeling that my mom doesn’t like you. Maybe you should go. Yeah, that’s my daughter. She’s very opinionated. It’s okay. I get that reaction a lot. You see, I left curtis and his brother and his mom when curtis was a very, very young child. Um, and they thought I was dead. That’s terrible. I know. Which is why curtis’ and my reunion wasn’t a happy one. Gee, I wonder why.

[ Chuckles ] Yes, uh, I’m still hoping I can find my way into curtis’ good graces.

[ Sighs ] Well, maybe don’t rush things. Give him time to process the fact that you are alive. Let him come to you. That is very sound advice, dr. Robinson. Although, no one’s ever accused me of listening to sound reasoning. Pleasure meeting you. Good to see you again, dr. Robinson. Mm. Yes, we have to stop bumping into each other like this.

[ Chuckles ] So, that’s why your relationship with curtis has been back-burnered. He’s dealing with his dead dad suddenly coming back to life. I could give him a few pointers. Do me a favor and don’T. I understand why curtis is uncomfortable being around his father… but why are you? My father was gone for decades. Suddenly shows up in port charles asking questions about me. And then when dear old dad finally shows his face, he says that he wants to be a family. Now, that burns me up. There’s absolutely no way that he can make up for the lives that he changed when he left. Did he mention where he’s been all these years? Not even a word. So I’ve been trying to find answers. But unfortunately, none of the search engines that I’ve been using have been helpful. There’s plenty of marshall ashfords… huh. …But none that fit his description. How would someone go about not having any information online? You think he’s been using a different name all this time? That’s what I’m thinking. Can I offer a suggestion? I think you’re too close to this. And when that happens, sometimes you don’t see things clearly. Why don’t you let me help you research your father? Alright, curtis is dealing with something. I knew it. He didn’t tell you because he was afraid it would upset you. Upset me how? Like give me another stroke? The thought crossed his mind. It’s that bad, then? No, it’s not bad. It… it’s just unexpected. Well, what is it?! It’s not my story to tell, auntie. I know you just want to help curtis, but you’re gonna have to talk to him about this yourself. And what if he won’t tell me? Then it means he isn’t ready to. And you’ll have to back off. Which — which I know is not part of your dna. My job, thomas jr., Is to support curtis with whatever he’s going through. It started when he was a little boy, and it hasn’t ended just because he’s a grown man. That is why we love you so much. And I love you, too, for too many reasons to count.

[ Chuckles ] And one of them is your loyalty to curtis and not giving up his secret.

[ Chuckles ] I thought you’d be upset with me. Just the opposite. True loyalty is a very rare gift indeed. I saw brando and sasha on their way to the nicu. I assume the news isn’t good about their baby. No. Who better to deliver it than the “britch”? No one calls you that anymore. I feel so badly for brando and sasha. And I think I just made things worse. How? Because I wouldn’t let dr. Fleming speak. I could tell they weren’t ready to hear just how limited liam’s options are. But I’m afraid that withholding that information, I-I gave them false hope. Which only makes things worse for them. Brando: Liam can’t be brain-damaged. I mean, you take all the tubes away, and he looks like any other normal, healthy boy, just like he could wake up any second. He will wake up. He’s our strong-willed warrior.

[ Respirator hissing, monitor beeping ] Sasha… hmm? Never mind. It’s not important.

I thank you for your offer, but you just got back to port charles, okay? You’ve got to figure out what your next move is. And I know you want to spend time with your daughter. You and scout got a lot of catching up to do. Mm. She didn’t remember me when she saw me. But I-I am gonna make sure — I’m gonna make sure that we get to know each other again, believe me. That’s what I’m saying. Priorities. Yeah, but spending time with my daughter’s not gonna take up every second of every day.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. I’ll think about it. But in the meantime, go have fun with your little girl. Yeah, it’s gonna be a pleasure, let me tell you. Thinking about scout just kept me going while I was in that cell all that time. You know, she wasn’t with me physically, but she was still with me. She was here… and right here. Alright, man. Great to see you. Good to see you, brother. Talk soon. Marshall ashford makes me uncomfortable because when he first arrived to port charles, he was asking questions about curtis without revealing his true identity. And curtis was angry that he was sneaking around behind his back. And now, after learning that his father has been alive for all these years, he just feels like his life has been upended. Don’t blame him. Curtis’ father pretended to be dead much longer than yours. And your dad only did it to keep you safe from cyrus renault. Maybe mr. Ashford had a good reason, too. Well, if he did, he’s not saying what it was. And as much as dad was away because of work, he was a huge part of my life. He was always there when I needed him. He sure was. But curtis… wow. He didn’t even have a father growing up. Curtis byron ashford!

[ Laughs ] Come here and give me a hug. Aunt stella! Oh, my goodness. You’re the second greatest surprise of the day. You mean I’m not the first? Okay, so how you feeling? You feeling okay? I’m healthy and strong and ready to hear what’s going on with you. No more secrets. You hear me?

[ Dramatic music plays ] You don’t have to stay and hold my hand. I’m sure you have better things to do.

[ Chuckles ] This is where I’m supposed to be right now. You think I haven’t been where you are? Forced to give parents bad news? I know when they can take it and when they can’T. And never in a million years did I think I’d be saying this to you, dr. Westbourne, but you did right by brando and sasha. You have nothing to regret. You showed that young couple grace. And right now, they need all the grace they can get.

[ Respirator hissing, monitor beeping ] There were a million reasons to eliminate peter, even before what he did to jason. This is for all of them. And jason. He will be avenged. Thank you. We — we just have to wait for anna to confirm… …that peter is gone for good.

[ Respirator hissing, monitor beeping ] I need to check on mr. August. I mean, not so long ago, you didn’t know whether you’d killed peter. Now you’re trying to save his life. The irony isn’t entirely lost on me. No. The best thi ng that could happenfor everyone is that peter dies. Then we would all be free of him. Oh, boy. I don’t disagree. I mean, I don’T. Th-there’s so many of us who’ve been harmed by him. And then the ones who didn’t survive him. The ones whose lives peter stole. For franco. For jason. Let him die.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

 

Roman: Okay. Before we go in there, I want to make sure you’re up for this.

Kate: What choice do I have? I’m his next of kin.

Roman: Okay. I can talk to rafe, figure out another way to do the id.

Kate: No, no, no. No. I have to do this, and I have to remember that, if it’s philip’s leg, that that could be a clue to finding him. Id him alive.

Roman: Okay

[Soft music]

Rafe: Thanks for coming in.

Roman: You need a minute?

Kate: No, I’m ready.

[Monitor beeping]

Brady: So come on. Any news on philip?

Belle: No, not since last night.

Brady: Belle, he’s telling me they found his leg, but they haven’t found him?

Belle: Not yet.

Brady: He’s gotta be alive. This–I’m not worried about being arrested. I’m worried about him. I’m worried about chloe. Have you seen her? She’s a wreck about…

Belle: Dad.

Brady: What are you–how’d you–did you get released already?

John: Yeah, I was. How you doing, son?

Brady: I’d be doing a hell of a lot better if I was out of this bed, dad. I need to go help with the search for philip, ’cause the cops don’t know what the hell they’re doing.

John: All right, I’ll head on down to the station. See if I can move this investigation along a little.

Brady: Dad. Dad, you don’t have to do–

Belle: No, I can call shawn.

John: I need to help!

Brady: Dad, I know you want to, but listen. I’m okay. Marlena’s not, all right? She is possessed, and she’s dangerous, and she’s still out there, so you need to go find her.

Ben: Good morning.

Ciara: Good morning. Why didn’t you wake me?

Ben: Because you were sleeping so peacefully. It’s not like we have anywhere else to be.

Ciara: Where’s marlena?

Ben: She went for a walk. She said she was feeling a little out of sorts, since that gabriel guy showed up yesterday. I think he spooked her.

Ciara: Really? Because I thought that he was really nice. He was very concerned for our baby, and quite frankly, ben, I am too.

Ben: Ciara.

Ciara: I know you said that i looked like I was sleeping peacefully, but I was not. I was actually having some pretty bad dreams.

Ben: About what?

Ciara: Everything, including this place. Let’s just get the hell out of here, ben, please. Please just take me home.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Kate: Yeah, yes. It’s his–it’s philip’s leg.

Rafe: You sure?

Kate: Yes. He got it a couple of years ago. It’s a new one, and I recognize it.

Rafe: Okay. We need to verify it officially if possible.

Kate: I brought the serial number I got.

Rafe: Oh, great.

[Soft music]

That’s a match.

Kate: I knew this was gonna happen, but still, it’s a shock.

Roman: Kate, katie, I am so sorry.

Kate: No, no.

Roman: Katie.

Kate: I don’t want to be comforted, roman. I don’t want to be consoled. Okay, I just want you to arrest brady black for this! For doing this to my son.

John: Yeah, I’m worried about doc, but I’m not leaving you, kid, not when you’re facing potential criminal charges here.

Brady: I know it looks bad, but, dad, I didn’t hurt philip.

John: I know you didn’t, but I’m still not walking out on you. Not with all these injuries.

Brady: It’s okay, it’s okay. I actually have a fairly decent lawyer on the case, so we are–the best lawyer on the case. You don’t have to stay with me. You need to focus your energy on marlena.

Belle: Yeah, I agree, dad. I mean there’s really nobody better suited to fight the devil than you. You’ve already kicked his butt once and saved mom.

Brady: There’s no doubt you’re gonna do it again.

John: Gotta find her first.

Brady: Then do it. Go find her.

John: Fine, I love you, kids.

Belle: We love you, too, dad.

John: Take care of yourself.

Brady: Find her.

Marlena: Good morning.

Ciara: Oh, goodness. I did not hear you come in.

Marlena: Oh, sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you. I did happen to overhear you talking about wanting to go home.

Ciara: Yes, well, you can understand that, right?

Marlena: I do, of course. All the way out here, and you’re protecting me from an abusive husband. That’s a lot to take on.

Ciara: Yes. It is, but don’t get me wrong. Ben and I do want to help you.

Ben: And we will.

Ciara: But even you can admit that this can’t go on indefinitely.

Marlena: What can’t?

Ciara: Well, dr. Evans, I’m expecting a child, and we are in a cabin in the middle of the woods. I can’t do this forever. I need to go home.

Marlena: No, you can’T. I won’t let you.

Ciara: You won’t let me? Serena: It’s my 3:10

Kate: Did you not hear me? I want brady arrested for murder.

Rafe: I know how difficult this is, but I don’t have enough for an arrest. I…

Kate: Brady was found drunk covered in philip’s blood with a knife that had his bloody fingerprints all over it, philip’s phone with a horrific text from brady. What more do you need, rafe?

Rafe: I understand your frustration, but–

Kate: Oh, my god! The district attorney was going to arrest him yesterday, just for that evidence, and now, we have this?

Roman: Look, kate. Let’s let rafe handle this, all right? Let me take you–

Kate: No, I’m not going anywhere until the police commissioner does his job and puts brady in a cage, where he deserves to be, for killing my son!

[Sobbing] Oh, god.

[Monitor beeping]

Brady: Dad’s gonna find marlena.

Belle: I know, I’m just–

Brady: What?

Belle: I’m just worried sick. This is the devil we’re talking about.

Brady: No, no, hey. He doesn’t stand a chance. Not against the love that those two share, right?

Belle: All right, listen. Let’s just get back to your case. I need you to take me through everything again, from the moment you left here.

Brady: I went to the pub to get dad some takeout. Ran into chloe. We talked for a few minutes outside, and then she left.

[Sighs] Then it’s a blank.

Belle: So you don’t remember going into the pub and ordering a drink?

Brady: No.

Belle: Is it possible that you did? What, what is it?

Brady: I did order a drink recently. It was at a bar outside of town on thanksgiving, all right? Hey, hey, I didn’t drink it. I even called maggie and had her come and meet me there.

Belle: So why’d you order it in the first place?

Brady: A couple reasons, belle, okay? Kristen had just tried to kidnap our daughter rachel, and I was struggling with my feelings for chloe.

Belle: So maggie showed up.

Brady: She showed up. I blabbered on a bit. I offered to drive her home, and then she offered to take us both to a meeting. I agreed, and that’s when you called and told me dad was in the hospital.

Belle: Yeah, you know, brady, when they found you passed out at the river, your blood alcohol level was three times–

Brady: I’m aware of that.

Belle: The legal limit. There has to be an explanation for that.

Brady: Well, I don’t have one–I don’t know.

Belle: Okay, you were drunk. There has to be an explanation. We just have to figure out what it is.

Susan: John black. Hey, as I live and breathe, praise the lord, you’re living and breathing, too.

John: Hey, susan. You getting out of here?

Susan: Oh, yeah, sure I am. I’m just waiting on elvis to come pick me up.

John: Oh, well I’m glad that you’re all right, and, listen, for the record, I just want to tell you how awful I feel about what you went through.

Susan: Oh, you mean having to eat the food here at the hospital? I mean, I really didn’t mind. I mean, sometimes I’d ask for an extra pudding cup.

John: No, I was talking about when you stabbed yourself.

Susan: Oh. Hey, that wasn’t your fault. No, I mean, your beloved wife and my dear best friend dr. Marlena evans was possessed by the devil. I mean, john, I still have nightmares about that. You and me locked up in the crypt, and then her coming in with the dagger and telling me that I had to kill you, or that she was gonna kill my only child. And really I was hoping that satan would take any human sacrifice. You know, any old human would do, and, well, that’s when I turned that big, old knife, and I stabbed myself.

John: Yeah, well, that was incredibly selfless.

Susan: Well, john, I just did what I had to do. You know, and don’t you worry. I know that dr. Marlena evans had nothing to do with it.

John: Yeah, well, thanks for saying that anyway.

Susan: By golly, I mean it. I mean it, ’cause I know that she would never deliberately hurt you, or me–

John: Yeah.

Susan: Or my son, or she would never, ever–and certainly never, ever hurt an innocent little baby.

John: What are you talking about, susan? Baby, what baby?

Marlena: You can’t abandon me; I need you.

Ciara: Marlena, please hear me out.

Marlena: No, no, but if you go, I’d be terrified to be alone.

Ciara: Well, I’m terrified, too; I am pregnant with my first child, and I have a very important checkup scheduled for this week.

Marlena: I told you I would take care of you.

Ciara: Yes, but you’re a psychiatrist.

Marlena: I’m also a doctor. Well, I’ve delivered lots of babies. Plus, you’re not even near your due date.

Ciara: Yes, that’s right, but I’m scheduled for a sonogram, and we don’t even have that kind of equipment here.

Ben: Yeah, we really do need to go to the hospital, dr. Evans. We need to see kayla and just make sure everything is progressing the way it should.

Marlena: Everything’s fine. I mean, look, you’re a healthy young woman, but if you’re feeling concerned, I can grab my bag and check your vitals.

Ciara: Thank you. That’s all right–besides, we’re getting off track here.

Marlena: No, you know what? I promised you that I would never let anything happen to your baby, and you promised you would protect me, so I’m doing my part. So are you now saying that you’re not gonna do what you promised? As a professional bull-rider

Brady: Hey, I swear, I swear I don’t remember drinking.

Belle: All right, I hear you. Then let’s just stay with what you do remember, okay? You said you were about to go into the pub and pick up some food for dad.

Brady: Yes.

Belle: But you don’t remember going inside?

Brady: No, but I must’ve, right?

Belle: All right. Well, let’s just check your credit card statement. See if there are any charges from the pub that day, and that’ll tell us.

Brady: That’s a good idea.

Kate: I’m talking like my son is dead, and actually, I don’t believe that. I don’T. I just need some accountability, you know, some justice, rafe.

Roman: Kate, we know, okay? We all want that, and everybody’s hoping and praying that philip is alive and making his way back home, right?

Kate: Yeah.

Roman: All right.

Kate: But even if he does survive, this was a savage, savage attack, and brady needs to pay for that.

Rafe: Okay, kate, you have my word that I will conduct a thorough investigation, and I will keep you posted every step of the way.

Roman: All right. We appreciate that, rafe. Thank you, okay? All right, let’s go.

Kate: Okay.

[Tense music]

Chloe: Hey.

Roman: Chloe, what brings you down here?

Chloe: I had to come and find out if there was any news–

Roman: The leg belongs to philip.

Chloe: Oh, kate, I’m so–

John: So you think the devil is after ben and ciara’s baby?

Susan: John, I know you’re aware of my gift, my psychic ability. It was–that I had a premonition that made me come back here, to salem. See, I had this vision that ben weston’s little seed was flowering in ciara’s womb.

John: So you knew she was pregnant?

Susan: And a dark and dangerous force was threatening that unborn baby, and that’s when I jumped into my car, and I floored it all the way from memphis to the airport–

John: Oh, okay, okay, so you got to their place, and then–

Susan: Mm-hmm, okay, then ciara let me lay hands on her belly, and oh, lordy. Oh, lordy, I fainted. I fainted dead away because I was right. I was right that that baby was in grave danger. I just didn’t know where the heck it was coming from, and so I tried it again, john. I did, I tried it again. I laid my hands on her, and I was making headway. I was, and then my concentration got broken by none other than dr. Marlena evans.

John: Wait, wait, wait. She was there?

Susan: Well, she was there because I fainted, and ben went to go get her, because he wanted her to help me. But she couldn’t help me, because she wasn’t her. She was him.

John: Okay, fine, and then what happened?

Susan: Oh, and then she whisked me out of there. She whisked me out of there, and that is when I knew something was off. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. I mean, whew, she was being so bossy to me, telling me that I had to get back to memphis, and she was being a bully. And we all know what you have to do with a bully; you have to to stand up to a bully–

John: Absolutely, so did you–

Susan: I sure did stand up to that bully, I did, john. I did, and I told her that I wasn’t going anywhere until I found out who wanted to harm that little baby.

John: All right, and then what did she do?

Susan: Oh, she grabbed my wrist. She grabbed my wrist. Oh, john black. I have never, never in my life felt that kind of jolt of electricity. And that is when I knew that she was the danger.

John: That’s because the devil had her.

Susan: Yeah, and then I tried to tell someone, but before I could, she knocked me out, and she turned me into that little pussycat, and then she threw me in the crypt. I mean, it is a miracle that you and I survived, because, john, john, the devil is still out there, and it’s got possession of dr. Marlena evans’ body, and he needs to be stopped at–

John: But susan–

Susan: All costs!

John: Susan, do you have any idea what the devil wants with ben and ciara’s baby?

Susan: I don’t know his exact intentions. I don’t, john, but what I can tell you is that they are evil. Evil, evil.

Marlena: Look, if you break your promise, I could die.

Ben: No, we would never let that happen, dr. Evans.

Ciara: No, of course not. We are going to keep you safe, I promise; you can stay here for as long as you want, and no one is going to find you.

Marlena: That man gabriel found me.

Ciara: What do you mean he found you?

Marlena: I mean, he found this cabin in the woods, so if he could find it, then john could find it.

Ciara: No, not if we don’t say anything to anyone. We won’t say a word, I swear.

Marlena: You don’t get this. I’m fighting for my life here. Look, please, I’m begging you. Please, just stay a little while longer.

Ben: Dr. Evans, I really want to go to ciara’s sonogram appointment, but if you are scared to stay alone, then I guess ciara could go to her appointment on her own. I could stay here.

Marlena: No. I need you both to stay here.

Ciara: Ben, can I talk to you alone for a minute?

Ciara: You’re not coming to my sonogram appointment, ben? Really, what the hell?

Ben: Baby, try to understand that, yes, dr. Evans is my therapist, but she’s also my friend, and she needs me.

Ciara: I’m your wife. I’m the mother of your unborn child. I need you, too, ben, and I want to go home.

Ben: Okay, well, we can’t just abandon her here, not when she’s in fear of her life.

Ciara: I understand that she helped you, and you feel obligated to help her in return, but she’s taking advantage of your kindness, ben. She is manipulating you. Something is off with her, okay? I don’t like the way she’s been acting; I said it when we first got here. I don’t like how focused she is on our child.

Ben: She is concerned, ciara.

Ciara: She’s too concerned, ben. She’s telling me that she will help me and that I don’t need kayla, or a real hospital, or a real checkup.

Ben: Because she’s trying to convince us not to leave her here alone.

Ciara: And it is working, because you told me that I could go while you stayed here.

Ben: I really don’t want that.

Ciara: I don’t want that either, but why would she want me to stay, ben? She would be very safe with you here, but me, why? I don’t get it. It doesn’t make sense. I don’t get her, and quite frankly, she’s really starting to creep me out.

Marlena: Everything okay out here?

Susan: Hey, john, I am so sorry that I didn’t tell you about the baby when we were locked up, but I was just so frazzled.

John: No worries, susan. Once I find doc, I’m gonna get this whole thing figured out.

Susan: Hey, hey, hey. You be careful, john black, ’cause that devil still wants you dead, and I’m not gonna be there to save you this time.

Shawn: Susan, john.

John: Hey.

Shawn: Hey, I’m going to talk to brady; you want to join me?

John: I can’t; I gotta go.

Shawn: Everything okay?

John: Well, susan has reason to believe that the devil wants ben and ciara’s baby.

Susan: And I know you’re a skeptic, detective shawn brady, but all my life, people have not believed in my vision, and this–

Shawn: Susan, I don’t doubt you. In fact, I think you’re right.

Belle: Okay. I’m in your account, and here are all your charges. Oh, bingo. Brady pub last friday, $72.

Brady: So I did go in. So what did I order?

Belle: Well, I can’t tell from this, but I can talk to roman and see if I can get an itemized receipt.

Brady: Yeah, let’s hope it’s just chowder for dad.

Belle: Yeah, $72 is a lot of chowder for one person.

Kate: You have been playing brady and philip off each other for months.

Chloe: That’s not true.

Roman: Kate, we’re leaving.

Kate: Oh, no, no, no. I’m not halfway–

Roman: Kate!

Kate: Done with you.

Roman: Kate, calm down. You’re gonna get yourself arrested for assault.

Kate: I really don’t care. You love men’s attention, don’t you? Their worry, you know, their concern for you, watching them fight over you.

Chloe: Actually, I hate that.

Kate: You know what? I just can’t understand why they don’t see you for what you actually are, a shallow, dim-witted twit.

Chloe: Kate, I know that you’re upset about philip, but please–

Kate: You know, I was so thrilled when philip told me that you had left, you know, that you had left, and that he was rid of you, the woman who has only hurt him and caused him pain. You said you were faithful to him, and the whole time you were sleeping with someone else.

Chloe: No, that’s not true. I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Kate: Oh, please. Lucas saw you and brady walk into the salem inn, and you know the sad part is philip tried to defend you because he didn’t want to face the fact that you had just left him and jumped into bed with brady.

Chloe: That did not happen. Brady was just helping me with my bags.

Kate: Oh, I’m sure he was, because a lot of men have handled your bags, haven’t they?

Chloe: Okay. I am not doing this.

Kate: Oh, my god. You are nothing but a cheat, and you’ve always been a cheat. You cheated on lucas with daniel, you cheated on philip with brady.

Chloe: That did not happen. I swear.

Kate: It’s just all a game with you, isn’t it, really? I mean, you get men to chase you and become obsessed with you, and then you fuel their jealousies and their rivals. And you end up in the center of all of that drama, and you think that maybe it’s because you’re wanted. You’re wanted or that it matters. But it’s all a game, chloe. It’s a game. It is a dangerous game because it had real consequences for real people. You toyed with my son for years, but this game ends now. Now, and if philip ends up dead, you are just as guilty of murder as brady. Better skin from your body wash?

Kate: So you better pray. You better pray that philip is alive, that brady didn’t plunge that knife into his chest and then throw his body into the river.

Chloe: Please stop.

Kate: You better pray for that.

Roman: Kate, we’re done.

Kate: You are pathetic.

Roman: We’re done.

Kate: You’re pathetic, and I’m going to make you pay. I’m gonna make you pay!

Rafe: What the hell’s going on in here? You okay?

Chloe: No, no, I’m not okay.

Susan: Oh.

John: Easy.

Susan: You believe me that the devil wanted ben and ciara’s baby?

Shawn: Yeah, yeah, I do. On halloween, belle and I went to dinner with ben and ciara, and they told us that they wanted to have a baby, but they were concerned about the mental health issues that ben’s had in his family. So they reached out to marlena, for guidance.

John: Yeah, and what’d she tell them?

Shawn: She said to go for it.

John: Of course.

Shawn: But then she started texting them. Like, following up, to see if they were still trying.

John: That’s too strange.

Shawn: Yeah. Belle thought so, too, that it was pushy, and it was intrusive, and it didn’t sound like her mother.

Susan: Yeah, because it wasn’t her mother! It was satan. Yes, and you know what that means, don’t you? That the devil was obsessed with that baby before ben and ciara even conceived it.

Ciara: No, everything is not okay. Ben made his choice, and it’s not me.

Ben: Ciara.

Marlena: No, wait, wait, wait, wait, ben, come on. Come on. Look, her hormones are raging. Give her a little time to cool down.

Ben: She’s really upset with me right now.

Marlena: I know, but she’s got no reason to be angry with you. I’m sorry that I’ve driven a wedge between the two of you.

Ben: Don’t, it’s okay. It’s not your fault.

Marlena: Well, I’m not sure ciara knows that.

Ben: Like you said, she’s very hormonal, and I mean, dr. Evans, she knows how much you have done for the both of us. She knows that you are the reason that allowed me to conquer my fears and marry her in the first place. And now we have conceived this child, and we are so excited to bring it into this world.

Marlena: I’m so glad to hear that.

Ben: I’m gonna talk to ciara. I’m gonna make her understand.

Marlena: Yes, but you’ll stay, right? And both of you will stay?

Ben: We’ll stay. I promise you, I promise.

John: And I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out why the hell the devil would come back to salem after all this time.

Shawn: And now we know.

Susan: Yeah, yeah, he wants ben and ciara’s baby.

John: I gotta talk to them.

Shawn: I’ll go with you.

John: What about brady?

Shawn: That can wait. We’re talking about my pregnant sister here.

Susan: Oh, please.

Ciara: [Sighs]

[Tense music]

Trelegy for copd.

[Soft music]

Rafe: Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea.

Chloe: I wanted to see what I did.

Rafe: What you did?

Chloe: Yeah, kate’s right. I mean whatever happened to philip, I’m partly responsible.

Rafe: No, no, no. You cannot blame yourself for something brady might have done.

Chloe: He swears he didn’t do it.

Rafe: No? Do you believe him?

[Cell phone rings]

[Phone line trilling]

[Cell phone beeps]

Chloe: How is brady?

Rafe: Why didn’t you answer it?

Chloe: Because honestly, I don’t know what to say to him.

[Cell phone beeps]

Brady: Hey, chloe, it’s me. I just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you. I feel terrible. I did not do this. I need to find a way to prove it to you. I’m searching my mind for some kind of explanation. I just haven’t found one yet, but I just want you to know I am thinking, and thinking, and racking my brain as to how this could have happened. I just don’t have any answers yet, but as soon as I figure this out, I’ll let you know. And I just–please. I just need you to believe in me. Okay.

[Cell phone beeps]

Roman: What can I get you?

Kate: Nothing.

Roman: How about we just sit together?

Kate: No, I think I need to be alone for a little while. You know, I just need to go lie down.

Roman: Okay. Well, I’ll be right here if you need me.

Kate: I do need you. I really need you.

[Soft music]

Belle: Oh, roman. I’m so glad you’re here.

Roman: What’s up?

Belle: I need a favor, and it has to do with brady.

Roman: Belle.

Belle: No. It’s strictly professional. Listen, trask is trying to railroad him, and I decided to represent him. And anyway, as you know, this whole case hinges on this idea that brady was so drunk that he lost control and attacked philip.

Roman: And you’re saying that’s not what happened?

Belle: I’m trying to find out. Anyway, brady’s credit card statement said that he spent $72 here the day philip disappeared, and I was hoping that you might have an itemized receipt showing what he bought.

Roman: Well, okay. I’ll be right back.

John: Ah, great.

Shawn: I know where the key’s at.

John: Nice.

Shawn: Ben, ciara?

John: [Grunts]

>>Shawn: Food is spoiled; they must have been gone for a while.

John: Yeah. Left in a hurry, too. When’s the last time you spoke to your sister?

Shawn: Thanksgiving.

John: So where could they have shot off to?

Shawn: I don’t know. I’m gonna call her.

[Phone line trilling] Come on, ciara, pick up.

[Tense music]

Ben: Ciara?

Where the hell is she? I thought I was managing my moderate

[Monitor beeping]

Brady: Damn it, why can’t i remember what happened?

Chloe: Yeah. I should get going. Philip’s expecting me, so bye, brady.

Brady: Bye. Chloe. We always have the brady pub.

[Cell phone rings] How’s my tater tot doing? Hi, buddy. What? You’re kidding me. You won the championship game? Are you serious? No, I’m not surprised, given what a great player you are. Hey, do me a favor. Have your mother send me a video, okay? Tate called. Completely forgot about that. Oh, buddy. I wish I could have been there to see you score that winning goal. What–you know I’m proud of you, right? Good, good, listen. Hey, let’s video chat over the weekend, is that good? All right. I love you, too, buddy.

Kate: Damn you, brady.

Brady: Kate, kate–

Kate: Mark my words. If my son is a dead man, you’re a dead man, too.

[Tense music]

Roman: Got it. $72, the night in question.

Belle: Okay. What did brady buy?

Roman: Six shots of whiskey.

Shawn: Come on, sis. Pick up the damn phone.

Ciara: Hello?

Shawn: Ciara, oh, my god. Wait, where are you?

Ciara: I’m right here. Hey.

Ben: Ciara’s not here. She must have gone out the back way.

Marlena: We can’t let her go back to salem.

Ben: Dr. Evans, I am sorry. I knew she was upset, but i didn’t think she’d run away.

Marlena: If she goes back, john will get the truth out of her, and then he will come here, and he will kill me. We’ve gotta stop her.
