Jake: Ah, whoa, easy there. We don’t want shin to think you’re drinking on the job.

Gabi: It’s virgin. I will move on to something harder once we know he’s on board with the plan.

Jake: All right. Speak of the devil.

Gabi: Oh, let’s not do that.

Jake: No, no, no. It’s shin. He’s on his way from the airport.

Gabi: Oh, okay. Well, this is it. You need to sell shin on getting victor a seat on the dimera board. And then that way in return, victor will make me in charge of titan. And then in the long run, we’ll be running both companies and I will be ceo of titan. You’ll be on top of dimera.

Jake: Can I get a word in, please?

Gabi: Yeah. What?

Jake: We need a new plan.

[Knock at door]

Rafe: Yep.

Ava: Hi, rafe.

Rafe: Ava. Hey.

Ava: Hey.

Rafe: Ah, everything okay?

Ava: Yeah, I was just–I was in the neighborhood, and I thought I’d stop in, say hi.

Rafe: Well, perfect, actually, because I was just about to call you about making plans tonight.

Ava: Oh, you mean with me?

Rafe: Yeah, of course with you. Who else would I be making plans with on new year’s eve?

Ava: I just thought you might have other plans.

Sami: What did you just say?

Ej: That lucas is the one who kidnapped you.

Sami: Ej. That is crazy. What would make you even think that?

Ej: Actually, because of nicole.

Nicole: I was just spitballing. Look, I even told ej that I regretted putting that in his head because I was sure it was not lucas. And if he had thought about it–

Ej: I have. And the more I do, the more convinced I am it’s true.

Chad: How did you get into that computer?

Lucas: I just–I–I borrowed my mom’s password.

Chad: Why?

Lucas: Why? Well, as you know, your brother was arrested for kidnapping sami, and he managed to make bail. And you and I both know that he’s guilty as sin.

Chad: So what does that have to do with you sneaking in here?

Lucas: I’m not sneaking in here. Not at all. I’m extremely worried about sami right now.

Chad: Why? Sami’s back. She’s safe now.

Lucas: No, she’s back, but she’s definitely not safe.

Chad: What makes you say that?

Lucas: Ej. Ej makes me say that. You know, he–she is determined to give him the benefit of the doubt. She flat out refuses to believe that he’s the one who kidnapped her. So, you know, and now she’s gonna be in danger. And when she’s in danger, she’s gonna go back to him. But she doesn’t believe that she’s in danger. So I actually have to find the proof. That’s what I’m doing right now. I’m looking for the money trail.

Chad: So that’s why you decided to hack in. What the hell are you really up to?

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

[Soft orchestration]

Chloe: Well, thanks for checking in, mom. No, no, they haven’t found philip. I would tell you. And every day that passes, it just becomes less hope. I know, I know. I know, positive thoughts. You’re right, but–no, I haven’t seen brady since they dropped the charges. But I really do need to get back to work. Okay. I love you. Give parker a big hug and kiss for me and dad too. I’ll keep you posted. Love you. Bye. What are you doing here? It’s a holiday.

Brady: Well, it’s a holiday for you too, yet you’re burying yourself in work.

Chloe: Yeah. Well, you know, it helps keep my mind off of things.

Brady: Yeah. Well, it’s time that I start pulling my own weight around here. I mean, I’ve been mia for a while now. In and out of the hospital, jail, I mean, helping marlena.

Chloe: How is she doing?

Brady: She’s good. She’s gonna be released from the hospital today.

Chloe: Wow. That’s a miracle, isn’t it?

Brady: It’s literally a miracle. Yeah, I just pray that that’s the last time the devil appears in salem.

Chad: Did you make these fund transfers?

Lucas: I did not. No. Look at the dates that. That was weeks ago, man.

Chad: Well, I didn’t authorize them, and nobody has access to this account except for ej and kate.

Lucas: Well, my mom hasn’t logged into those accounts in eons. It wouldn’t be her. Note the recipient and the recurring–all those payments. Look at all the payments, recurring payments. Went to the–what is this? Jason smith first bank of milwaukee, come on.

Chad: Who is jason smith?

Lucas: He’s one of the guards that held sami captive when she was a prisoner.

Chad: Well, I’m sure there’s a lot of jason smiths in wisconsin.

Lucas: Look at the account number. It’s the same thing. It’s the same one every time. I’m positive that that is the guy who was keeping sami prisoner. I know it. And this just proves it, man. This proves that your brother’s behind kidnapping sami. He stole dimera funds. He committed a crime. He thought he was gonna get away with it. He didn’t think anyone was gonna find out. He almost implicated you and your whole company, chad, you realize that?

Chad: This is unbelievable. It’s maybe a little too unbelievable.

Sami: Why would lucas kidnap me?

Ej: Why else? He wants you all to himself. And a desperate, depraved plan was his only shot.

Sami: Okay. It’s an interesting theory. But do you have any proof that lucas laid a finger on me?

Nicole: He laid more than a finger on you.

Sami: All right. That’s enough. Look, ej, we’re back together. You don’t have to go around making wild accusations.

Nicole: Excuse me? What do you mean you’re back together?

Sami: Oh, yeah. Ej and I had a good talk, and he ripped up the divorce papers.

Nicole: No, you did that, sami.

Sami: Right. No. Yes. I ripped up the first set. And it was very upsetting, but ej had more were drawn up, and then he ripped them up himself when he changed his mind about us. Oh, you hadn’t had the chance to tell her yet? Oh, this is awkward.

Brady: Chloe, I’ve been–I’ve been–I’ve been thinking about you nonstop. I’ve been worried about you.

Chloe: I’m hanging in there. It’s okay. But I’m just really relieved that trask dropped those charges against you.

Brady: Yeah. Thanks to you for going to bat for me with kate. I mean, that couldn’t have been easy.

Chloe: Well, it was worth it.

Brady: Well, I am very, very grateful to you.

Chloe: Well, like I said before, brady, I know who you are. I know your heart. I–I know that you’d never be capable of killing philip or anyone else for that matter. Oh, but all this waiting, being in limbo, not knowing if I’ll ever have answers or knowing whether philip is alive or dead, it’s just–it’s hard. You know, it’s been–it’s been really hard.

Gabi: A new plan, you came up with this, it’s genius. What are you talking about?

Jake: Gabi, she–

Gabi: No, jake, listen to me. Shin agreed to meet us here. Victor’s on board.

Jake: Victor? Victor hasn’t returned any of my phone calls.

Gabi: Because his son is missing.

Jake: Right, and maybe that’s causing him to have second thoughts.

Gabi: About taking over dimera? No, his entire family could go missing and he would not have second thoughts about that.

Jake: Can you just hear me out for a second? All right. On the way over here, I got to thinking that maybe there’s a more direct way to get what we want.

Gabi: Well, will you hurry up and tell me what it is before shin gets here?

Shin: Hello, friends.

Rafe: Why would you think that I have other plans tonight?

Ava: Well, I thought that if you had wanted to hang out with me tonight, you would have said something about it sooner.

Rafe: Yes, yes. You’re right. You know what? And I’m sorry about that. Because I was supposed to maybe have to cover for eli, but now I’m off the hook. So a little last minute, but I’m sure we could maybe get reservations somewhere and do something fun if you’re interested.

Rafe: Sure.

Ava: What do you have mind, commissioner?

Rafe: Oh, well, dinner, fireworks.

Ava: Or we can invite a couple of friends over to ring in the new year with us.

Rafe: Okay.

Ava: Of course, I only have one real friend, but she’s your friend too.

Rafe: You’re talking about–

Ava: Nicole.

Rafe: Yeah. Do you have a problem with that?

Nicole: Oh, sami. At some point, this just becomes pathetic.

Sami: Oh, I agree completely. And I think you hit that point about a thousand walks of shame ago.

Nicole: You can click your heels together and say ej wants you back as many times as you want.

Sami: He does want me back.

Nicole: Really? Then why is it just a few days ago ej said that you deluded yourself into thinking that you still had a chance?

Sami: I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that you surprised ej by showing up here. I mean, it’s not like you had new year’s eve plans. Am I right?

Nicole: He just got out of jail.

Sami: And the first call he made was to me.

Nicole: While he was arrested for supposedly kidnapping you.

Ej: Which I did not do.

Nicole: Wow. He speaks. Is that all you’re gonna say?

Sami: He had a lot more to say to me when he told me that he loved me, he can’t live without me, and that I am the one true love of his life, and nicole will do in a pinch.

Ej: That is not what I said.

Sami: It was not what he said, not those words exactly. But it was the sentiment.

Nicole: [Chuckles] Oh, my god. It’s true, isn’t it?

Ej: [Clears throat]

Lucas: Ej is definitely behind this. You know it; you saw the payments. What’s there not to believe?

Chad: Well, my brother swears he’s being framed.

Lucas: Yeah. Really? By who?

Chad: By you.

Lucas: By me? That’s totally insane. Come on.

Chad: Yeah. I thought so too. But then I left this office for a few minutes, and in that time you managed to hack into my accounts and find a smoking gun.

Lucas: I got lucky. All right?

Chad: Police didn’T.

Lucas: What?

Chad: Police. Yeah, the police. I mean, I gave them access to those very same accounts. They combed through ’em for hours, but they didn’t manage to find anything.

Lucas: Well, what can I say? They’re cops, you know, maybe they didn’t know where to look.

Chad: Yeah. Or you planted the information. And the only way you would have that information is if you were the one that paid that person who kidnapped sami. My brother was right. You did it. One of the worst things about a cold sore

Brady: If philip is missing because of kristen, chloe, all I can say to you is, I’m so–so sorry.

Chloe: It’s not your fault.

Brady: Yeah, it is. If kristen went after philip, it was only because she wanted to get back at me for leaving her or she wanted me out of the way to try to take rachel again.

Chloe: Well, a part of me really hopes it is kristen, because her specialty is making people disappear.

Brady: Yeah. Kristen could be holding philip somewhere.

Chloe: And as strange as it sounds, I’m praying for that. I just hope she has him, you know, locked up in a warehouse or wine cellar somewhere and he figures out how to escape or we find him and bring him home.

Brady: Sure, sure.

Chloe: And I remember all that blood all over your body, so–

Brady: Chloe, chloe, chloe, as much as I never wanna see kristen again, I’m gonna do everything in my power to find her, everything I can do. I owe that to philip. I certainly owe that to you.

Gabi: Mr. Shin, thank you so much for coming.

Jake: Hope you had a nice flight.

Shin: Eh, no complaints. It’s nice to see you both in this fine establishment.

Gabi: Yeah. It’s not exactly the ritz, right? But we just wanted to keep this meeting under the radar.

Shin: Well, you said it was important that we speak in person. So what is it we’re speaking about?

Jake: Just follow my lead. Mr. Shin, gabi and I are well aware that your time is valuable. So I’m gonna cut right to the chase here. We think you need to remove ej as ceo of dimera.

Shin: Well, you’ve thought that from the moment he and chad ousted you from the company.

Jake: Right. But now that he’s been arrested for kidnapping his own wife, I think we can all agree that doesn’t look very good for dimera.

Shin: Hmm. Not only do I agree, ej does as well, which is why he’s allowing chad to run the company solo until his name is cleared.

Gabi: Oh, excuse me. But what if his name is never cleared? I mean, ej’s legal battles could go on for months, even years. And the pr would be devastating. We would lose deals, clients. Stockholders would lose confidence. And jake and I, as board members, we are extremely worried about the future of the company.

Shin: Mm-hmm. We all are. And while ej was not my choice for ceo, profits have soared under his leadership.

Jake: Okay. But let’s be honest here. The economy’s hot, right? Ej’s leadership skills not so much. I mean, you’ve seen the projections for next quarter. They’re already down.

Gabi: Probably because ej is so distracted with all the drama in his personal life. I mean, it’s one tabloid story after the next.

Jake: Right. So how could he put any energy toward running dimera? I mean, he’s risking everything we’ve worked for.

Gabi: Bottom line, mr. Shin, is, he has to go.

Shin: I assume you have someone in mind to replace him. Yourself perhaps?

Gabi: Oh, yeah. Jake has been the best eo that dimera has ever had. I mean, you yourself put him there when chad resigned.

Shin: Speaking of chad, have you looped him in?

Jake: On what?

Shin: Your plan to make him collateral damage in a hostile takeover?

Chad: Admit it. You kidnapped sami.

Lucas: No, I didn’t kidnap sami. I’m the one who rescued her, remember?

Chad: Yeah, maybe you wanted to play the hero. You know, you save her life. You bring her home to her kids. That would score you a lot of brownie points.

Lucas: Why are you so damned determined to let ej off the hook after everything he did to you? The way he screwed you over? Don’t we want the same thing here?

Chad: Yeah. What’s that?

Lucas: For ej to get what he deserves, for him to be out of our lives.

Ej: Nicole, I’m sorry.

Sami: Me too. I’m really sorry. This must be humiliating for you.

Nicole: Oh, no, no, not humiliating. In fact, I’m actually grateful to be reminded of what an amoral, shallow, insensitive son of a bitch ej is. And I am done wasting my time with you. So you can have him back, because you deserve each other. And by the way, I never really wanted ej. I just wanted to make you miserable. Looks like you don’t need any help. Ej will take care of that.

Ej: Nicole–

Nicole: No, no, goodbye and good riddance. Enjoy making each other miserable for a lifetime or however long this will last again.

Sami: Happy new year.

Nicole: Don’t care. People everywhere living with

Chloe: How would you even start to look for kristen? The police have been trying for months.

Brady: Mm. Let’s just say I have methods of getting to her that the cops don’T.

Chloe: Well, please be careful, because if anything ever happened to you, I couldn’t take it.

Brady: Well, hey, hey. Kristen–kristen would never hurt me. Well, not physically anyway. I don’t think she would hurt philip either, not the way I did.

Chloe: What are you talking about?

Brady: Philip is in love with you. He has been forever. He just wanted your relationship to work. And I just made things worse, is what I did.

Chloe: That’s not true.

Brady: I think we both can admit that it is at this point. I mean, he said, “brady, you know, you had your chance with chloe, and you blew it.” And then he said, “you couldn’t accept it. So you just tried to screw up my chance at happiness with her.” And he was right. I mean, I was selfish. I was petty. And I just want to apologize to the man.

Chloe: Well, me too.

Brady: Why would you need to apologize?

Chloe: Because I knew that you and i being close drove him nuts.

Brady: Chloe, you and i are friends.

Chloe: I know that. But he also knew that you had feelings for me. And even though I tried to reassure him that that didn’t matter, that I was secure in our relationship. I guess truth is, I don’t know if I was very clear about how I felt, because I wasn’t sure about how I felt. And he might have thought–

Brady: Thought what?

Chloe: I don’t know if kate said something to philip, but–

Brady: What–what is it?

Chloe: Well, kate was under the mistaken impression that you and I had sex on this conference table.

Brady: What?

Rafe: Why are you suggesting that we have nicole over? You know that–I mean, you know she and i are trying to keep our distance.

Ava: Still?

Rafe: Well, yeah.

Ava: Come on, rafe. This is silly. All right? We are adults. I think we can handle celebrating new year’s eve with someone we both consider a good friend.

Rafe: Yeah. Well, it– but she’s also–she’s dating ej now, and I can’t stand that guy’s guts, and I really don’t want to ring in the new year with him.

Ava: Yes, but ej’s in jail.

Rafe: Oh, no. He just got out on bail.

Ava: Okay. Well, I can’t imagine that she’s gonna stay with him after that, after the terrible thing that he did.

Rafe: Well, you know, ej has done plenty of terrible things to her, and yet she’s willing to go another round.

Ava: Okay. Well, I’m sure it’s over now. I am. And honestly, I– I’m actually surprised that she ended up dating him again because she seems like she’s into the nice guys these days. You know, I’m gonna go over to basic black. I’m gonna check on her, see how she’s doing. And if all she has planned tonight is some lonely, sad night at home, you don’t mind, right, if I invite her over to join us, no?

Rafe: Of course not, no. Of course. Of course.

Ava: You’re the best.

Rafe: Yeah. You too.

Ava: Hmm. See you later.

Rafe: All right. Okay. No problem. Yep.

Ej: You didn’t have to enjoy that quite so much.

Sami: Well, it’s not my fault nicole was here. And you could have let her off the hook a lot sooner.

Ej: I’ve been a bit too busy fighting bogus felony charges. But I was going to tell her about us.

Sami: What us?

Ej: Oh, for god’s sake, would you make up your mind? Yes. No. What is it that you want?

Sami: Depends on whether or not you’re the one who kidnapped me, ej, and held me for what seemed like an eternity.

Ej: You’re just clinging to that as an excuse to push me away, because you’re upset I slept with nicole.

Sami: No, look, it wasn’t my deal that nicole was here, but that’s not about that. Ej, I just–I need you to look me in the eye and tell me you’re not the one who kidnapped me.

Ej: I didn’t kidnap you, samantha.

Lucas: This could be the final nail on ej’s coffin if you want it to be.

Chad: No, I want you to leave me the hell out of this.

Lucas: Just hear me out. Hear me out for a second, okay? All you’ve got to do is take this evidence to the police or the dimera board. And in a matter of days, you’d be running dimera solo.

Chad: Yeah. You think that if ej was gone, sami would come running back to you.

Lucas: Well, this way we both get what we want. Snacking can mean that pieces get stuck under mike’s denture.

Chad: Before I walked in here, what was your plan to get the information to sami while keeping your hands clean?

Lucas: I didn’t have a plan before I came in here. I didn’t know what I was gonna find, but maybe it’s best if you keep my name out of it. You know, maybe it’s best for both of us. You’re not saying anything. Does that mean you’re in?

Chad: I just–I need to think about it.

Jake: I never said anything about getting rid of chad.

Shin: But you were thinking it.

Gabi: Oh, mr. Shin, you know jake so well. I mean, of course you do. You’ve always been his biggest champion. If it were up to you, he’d still be running the company all on his own.

Shin: True. But a change this big, it’s–

Jake: Yeah, it’s enormous. Which is why we gotta take it one step at a time. Right? Step one, we get rid of ej as ceo.

Gabi: I mean, seems pretty easy given the circumstances.

Shin: Well, not as easy as you might think. Ej has ardent support from the board, and he’s innocent until proven guilty, which means I have no cause to fire him…yet.

Jake: Ah, yet. All right. Look, gabi and I put together a proposal. We’d like to send it your way. It’s got some stuff in it that’s gonna have you very excited. So if you could take a look at it and get back to me, that’d be great.

Shin: Of course.

Jake: All right.

Shin: Oh, I have to take this. It was lovely to see you both.

Jake: Yeah. Likewise.

Shin: I’ll be in touch.

Gabi: Mm-hmm. Better get to work on that proposal.

Jake: You were amazing.

Gabi: Well, i was–I tried my best, but I mean, my head is spinning. I mean, yours must be too. I mean, you’re going all the way up at dimera. Do not pass go.

Jake: Okay. What am I getting here? You don’t seem happy.

Gabi: Well, you know, because we’re changing things now. We’re not going after titan. Just makes me think, where does that leave me?

Rafe: Nicole.

Nicole: Oh, hi.

Rafe: Hey. Ava and i were just talking about you. Actually, she’s on her way to meet you at basic black.

Nicole: Well, I’m off today. Was it anything important?

Rafe: Oh, well, I was just telling her that ej had gotten out on bail, and she was worried about you. And have you seen him yet?

Nicole: I sure have.

Rafe: Oh, that doesn’t sound good.

Nicole: You mean that ej kidnapped sami or that he’s getting back together with her and conveniently neglected to tell me?

Ej: [Chuckling]

You believe I’m innocent

Sami: Well, you’re not doing yourself any favors by going around making wild accusations against lucas, you know. What would his motive even be?

Ej: I told you. To keep us apart.

Sami: We were already apart. You had kicked me out. You told me that you never wanted to see me again.

Ej: Perhaps he knew it wouldn’t stick. I mean, it never does, does it?

Sami: Never does. But wait, you’re forgetting. Lucas is the one who rescued me, much to your dismay.

Ej: I was not dismayed.

Sami: Well, you certainly seemed dismayed.

Ej: He happened to be standing there when you called allie for help. What other choice did he have, but to play innocent. To pivot to the role of hero and rush off to fetch you, when in truth, he would have preferred to keep you in that room indefinitely.

Sami: I just don’t buy it. He’s the father of my children. I just don’t think he would really do something like that.

Ej: I’m the father of your children too, and you think I would.

Sami: Well, the cops think you did.

Ej: Apart from the kidnappers dubious statement, there isn’t a shred of evidence against me.

Chad: I wouldn’t be so sure about that. If you’re washing with the bargain brand,

Brady: Kate thought that we slept together. Why in the hell would she think something like that?

Chloe: She said she was here for a meeting a few weeks ago and she overheard how we were talking about nicole having sex on that conference table.

Brady: Oh, no.

Chloe: Yeah. And kate jumped to the very wrong conclusion that we were talking about you and me. And I don’t know if she told philip or not, but I had to convince her that it wasn’t true.

Brady: And how did you do that?

Chloe: Oh, I had to swear on parker’s life, but if I didn’t, you could still be facing murder charges.

Brady: Well, I’m glad you smoothed that over. I mean, I know nicole did not want secret getting out. We agreed that we weren’t gonna tell anyone.

Chloe: I know, but I didn’t feel like I had much of a choice. At least, I didn’t tell kate that nicole slept with rafe.

Rafe: What a pig. I can’t believe that ej would do something like that to you. Actually, I can. I can’t actually believe that sami would take him back.

Nicole: Sure, you can.

Rafe: Nicole, I have told you so many times you deserve so much better. I know one of the reasons that you went back to ej was because of me.

Nicole: Oh, stop. You are not responsible for the latest of the many, many horrendous choices I’ve made.

Rafe: You’ve been under a lot of stress. You’re doing the best you can.

Nicole: Really?

Rafe: Yeah.

Nicole: Because I think I’m a hot mess. I cheated on the love of my life with a man I detest. I blew up my marriage and drove eric back into the priesthood for god’s sake. And I slept with you, a man who is in a committed relationship with one of my best friends. And I run to a guy who has burned me twice and is in love with a woman I hate with a passion.

Rafe: Okay. So that’s a little messy.

Nicole: You think? Okay. That’s–it’s enough. Just go enjoy your new year’s eve.

Rafe: I hate to leave you alone like this. You are upset.

Nicole: I’m fine, rafe.

Rafe: You got plans tonight?

Nicole: Well, I’m not gonna be with ej; that’s for sure.

Rafe: Yeah. Do you want to spend new year’s with ava and me?

Ej: Run a long, chad; we’re in the middle of something here.

Chad: Yeah, no, I think sami’s gonna wanna see this. I found this while I was auditi dimera’s quarterly expenses, this large recurring payment to jason smith laundered through the company and signed by your husband.

Sami: Oh, my god. You lying bastard.

Jake: Look, getting you into titan is the next step. I just figured we had such a great opening with ej’s arrest… here’s hoping it goes well.

Gabi: Where are you going?

Jake: Got a couple errands to run, but you stay here. Finish that drink, enjoy it. And hopefully we will have something to celebrate come midnight. Bye.

Gabi: Bye.

Ej: Let me see that. I never made these payments.

Chad: Well, I sure as hell didn’T.

Ej: Well, maybe kate did. She has access to that account.

Chad: Really?

Ej: Yes, really. I did not do this.

Chad: I might have believed you if all the cops had was a statement from the guy who held sami as hostage. But now we have that statement and this. I would say we have you dead to rights.

Sami: So would I. Do you have any idea what I went through in there, how horrible it was to be trapped alone, and I didn’t know where I was; I didn’t know if I was ever gonna see my family again?

Ej: I am being framed.

Sami: Right. You are trying to pin this whole thing on lucas? Do you understand he wouldn’t do something like this?

Ej: Samantha.

Sami: But I know that you would. I know that you are capable of this, and I bet you loved every minute of it. I bet you loved knowing how much I suffered and that you were the cause.

Ej: Samantha.

Sami: Just stop. Goodbye, ej, this time for real.

Limu emu… & doug

Brady: So I’m guessing you do not have plans for tonight, right?

Chloe: No, other than going home to put on some sweatpants, absolutely nothing.

Brady: Oh, do you want some company?

Chloe: I–I don’t– no, thanks.

Brady: No, thanks. Are you sure?

Chloe: Yeah. I think so.

Brady: All right. Well, if you change your mind, let me know. But I am gonna try to convince you right now to knock off early and get out of here, because it is a holiday.

Chloe: Okay? Sure.

Brady: Oh, okay.

Nicole: Oh, right. I am sure ava would just love to have me crash your new year’s date.

Rafe: It was actually her idea to invite you.

Nicole: Well, she’s a friend, and she’s just being nice, but I’m sure she doesn’t really want me there. And if she ever found out what happened between us…you know what? I just decided what my new year’s resolution is. I am swearing off men.

Rafe: Okay. That’ll last.

Nicole: Okay. You know, I get why you say that, but you watch.

Rafe: Okay. All right. Well, you know what? Good luck with that. And back to tonight, you sure you don’t wanna come over?

Nicole: Positive.

Rafe: Fine.

Nicole: You go kiss ava on new year’S. I will be at home in bed alone.

Rafe: Okay. Well, nicole, happy new year, whatever it brings.

Nicole: Same to you.

Rafe: Thank you.

Ava: There you are. Oh, duke. I’m sorry to say that this shared custody arrangement is officially over. I thought rafe was one of the good guys, that I had to be a better person for him. I thought nicole was my friend, but she’s just a two-faced whore. They completely humiliated me. I’ll tell you this, partner, oh, they are not gonna get away with it.

[Tense music]

Lucas: Please don’t look at me like that. I know what you both are thinking. How can our grandson do something so nuts? I know. I know. I get it. What I want you both to understand is, I feel unworthy being a horton after what I did to sami. I need you to understand why I did it. I had no choice. I did it for love.

Gabi: Sami? Are you okay?

Sami: No. No. I am most definitely not okay.

Gabi: Oh. Okay.

Sami: [Sobbing]

Ej: You son of a bitch.

Chad: Don’t shoot the messenger.

Ej: Oh, don’t give me ideas.

Shin: Oh, good. You’re both here.

Ej: Mr. Shin, what– what brings you by?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ben: [Sighs] Oh. Doug and julie are asking if we want to come over and watch the ball drop.

Ciara: Seriously? I thought that old married couples went to bed as soon as the sun went down.

Ben: Your grandparents know how to party.

Ciara: Yeah, well, with what happened there on christmas eve, I’m kind of done with all the excitement for now.

Ben: So you’re saying you want us to be the old married couple?

Ciara: What I’m saying is, I want to stay here and watch the ball drop with you and our baby.

Chanel: Hi.

Johnny: Oh, hey.

Chanel: I thought you were working out.

Johnny: Oh yeah, I–I stopped halfway through all of a sudden, I just felt like I got hit by a bus.

Chanel: Oh, no, are you feeling sick?

Johnny: Eh, it might just be jet lag, or maybe it’s the after effects of going ten rounds with il diavolo.

Chanel: As dramatic as that sounds, you’re probably just fighting a cold.

Johnny: Yeah, well, definitely fighting something. Look, I don’t think I’m gonna be very much fun tonight. Maybe you should just go ahead without me.

Chanel: Like hell I will.

Gabi: Sami, what’s–what’s wrong?

Sami: I just got proof that ej is the one who kidnapped me.

Lucas: Please, don’t look at me like that. I know what you both are thinking. “How can our grandson do something so nuts?” I know. I know. I get it. What I want you both try to understand is, I feel unworthy of being a horton after what I did to sami. I need you to understand why I did it. I had no choice. I did it for love.

Allie: You did what for love, dad?

Tripp: Yeah, I’m–I’m just getting off shift now. Yes, yes, dad, I feel fine. No, thank you for the invite, but allie and i are just gonna have a nice, quiet new year’s together. Yeah, yeah, I’m just grateful I’m not going into the new year stuck in the coma unit in jan spears’ bed. Yeah, no, I’ll be happy if my first encounter with the devil is my last.

Marlena: Oh, tripp, going down?

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

[Soft orchestration]

Marlena: Gosh, I’m sorry that I startled you.

Tripp: Oh, no, it’s okay. It’s good to see you knowing that it’s you.

Marlena: Yes, it’s me. Look, I’m glad I ran into you. I–I’d like to apologize.

Tripp: You don’t need to do that, okay? I know that everything that happened wasn’t your fault. It was him.

Marlena: Yeah, him.

Tripp: And I have to admit that when I first heard the stories about this happening to you before, I–I didn’t believe them.

Marlena: Well, I’m not sure I would have either. Kind of a lot to take in, you know, devil possession and battle between good and evil not exactly based in science.

Tripp: Well, you’ve certainly made a believer out of me.

Both: Hey.

Jake: You don’t look like you’re getting ready for a big night out.

Ben: Oh, you’re looking at a big night out.

Jake: Come on, it’s new year’s eve and the last new year’s eve you’re not gonna have to search for a babysitter,

Ciara: Yeah, well, it’s not like I can really go out partying.

Jake: But you can still have fun, can’t you? So come on, losers, get out of that bed. Come out with me and gabi.

Gabi: Ej kidnapped you?

Sami: My husband, the man who’s supposed to love me and our children.

Gabi: Oh, why would he do that?

Sami: Revenge. Get back at me for hurting him. Who knows?

Gabi: I wish I could say he’s not capable of doing that, but he’s ej dimera, the most morally bankrupt human being on this planet.

Sami: Yeah, that’s right. Okay, let me have it. Don’t hold back.

Gabi: Look, I get it. I’ve done some terrible things in my life, but I would never hurt the people that I love. I mean, what–what kind of man terrorizes the mother of his children?

Lucas: Hey, allie, I didn’t see you there.

Allie: Yeah, I was just closing up at the bakery. We were getting some complaints about a sad guy walking around talking to inanimate objects.

Lucas: Were you really?

Allie: No, I’m kidding. But you do look pretty beat up. Is this about mom?

Lucas: Yeah, yeah, it is.

Allie: I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but you know, when you’re talking to yourself in public…

Lucas: I wasn’t talking to myself. Thank you very much. I was talking to my grandparents.

Allie: You were saying something about love, but you sounded guilty.

Lucas: Guilty?

Allie: Yeah, like you were confessing something. Look, just instead of pouring your soul out to great-grandpa and great-grandma, why don’t you just talk to me about it.

Trelegy for copd.

Chanel: If you’re staying home, I am staying home.

Johnny: No, no, why–why–why should your new year’s have to be ruined just because I’m not feeling well?

Chanel: Well, I am not leaving you here, so…

Johnny: I’m probably just gonna fall asleep anyway, so…

Chanel: Well, then I’ll be lying right next to you. I made vows, remember?

Johnny: In italian, a language that you don’t speak.

Chanel: Still, I knew what I was saying. “I took you, giovanni roman dimera, to be my lawfully wedded husband,” and I’m pretty sure “in sickness and in health” was a part of that, right?

Johnny: It was.

Chanel: Hmm-hmm. Well, then when you’re sick, you’re stuck with me, and I am stuck with you.

Ciara: Tempting, but I’m sorry, jake, we’re out.

Jake: You sure?

Ben: We’re sure.

Jake: You two are about as fun as a case of scabies, you know that?

Ciara: Yeah, well, in my defense, a few days ago, the devil did try to steal my unborn baby.

Jake: I’m sorry, what?

Ben: Oh, it’s news to you that marlena evans was possessed by the devil?

Jake: No, no, no, I heard about all that, but I didn’t know she wanted to take your kid.

Ben: Good times, huh?

Jake: Man, what the hell does she want with your child, anyway?

Marlena: I know that what happened was beyond my control, but people were hurt. Tripp: But we’re all fine now. And it’s nothing compared to what you went through. I’m really glad to see you on the other side. I know how worried allie was about you.

Marlena: Thanks for saying that, and I’m glad she has such a nice young man in her life.

John: And I couldn’t agree with that more.

Tripp: Hey, john. How you doing?

John: Tripp, good to see you up and about.

Tripp: Yeah, yeah. I have to say that it really means a lot that you both approve of my relationship with allie.

John: Well, it’s kind of like what doc said, we’re just very grateful that she has you in her life.

Tripp: Listen, well, I am very lucky that she is in mine.

Marlena: We won’t keep you from her, except to say happy new year, tripp.

John: Yeah, happy new year, kid.

Tripp: Happy new year to you both. You deserve it.

[Elevator dings]

John: Yes, we do.

Lucas: Well, you know, I–I feel guilty, because I’m the one who had to talk to your mom. I had to get her to accept the fact that ej is the one who kidnapped her.

Allie: Right, that couldn’t have been easy for her.

Lucas: No, it wasn’T. It broke her heart. And despite all the pain that ej’s put her through, she’s–she’s not ready to give up on him yet.

Allie: I just don’t get that. I mean, she’s put up with so much miss treatment from him, but to kidnap her and to keep her locked away against her will for all that time, it’s– it’s just cruel, sadistic really. I don’t know about mom, but i will never forgive him for it.

Gabi: How did you find out it was ej who took you?

Sami: Chad, he found this record of a financial transaction ej had used dimera funds to pay this guy, jason smith, who was his accomplice after telling me that he had no idea who that guy was, had never heard of him in his entire life.

Gabi: Pretty dumb to leave a paper trail.

Sami: Yeah, ej’s not stupid. He’s just arrogant. He didn’t think he was gonna get caught. I’m the one who’s dumb.

Gabi: No, don’t say that.

Sami: I believed him when he told me that I was the love of his life. I believed him.

Gabi: Well, maybe that isn’t a lie.

Sami: The worst part is…

Gabi: What? Go on.

Sami: The worst part of it, he’s still the love of mine.

Gabi: You still feel that way?

Sami: So–so if ej and i are over, what am I supposed to do with the rest of my life? We hit the bike trails every weekend

Gabi: Look, I’m probably the last person that should be giving any relationship advice. I mean, I’ve always dated the wrong kind of men, men who didn’t respect me, who lied and cheated. It took me years, but I finally learned my lesson.

Sami: And jake treats you right?

Gabi: Yeah, yes, he does. He respects me. And more importantly, it doesn’t matter what happens between him and I. I learned that I will never settle for a guy who does not see me as his equal.

Sami: Good for you. Neither will I.

Gabi: Well, I don’t–i don’t think there’s a guy out there who’s your equal, but you definitely deserve better than ej dimera. I mean, he’s–the guy is hateful. I mean, the way he ousted jake from dimera. It was disgusting. Snake.

Sami: So not a fan?

Gabi: No, not a fan, but I am one of your biggest fans.

Sami: Thank you. Gabi, that’s really nice of you. That means a lot.

Gabi: Yeah, you know, you really helped me through some of the roughest times in my life. And I learned how to stand up for myself because of you.

Sami: Well, you are a quick learner.

Gabi: Still got a long way to go, but thank you. I know that we’ve had our differences, but you’re will’s mom. You’re ari’s abuela. I’ll always have your back. Remember that, okay?

Jake: So marlena tricked you into taking her to the cabin so she could steal your child?

Ciara: Mm-hmm. And we still have no idea what she wanted with our baby.

Ben: And frankly, I don’t give a damn. I’m just glad that ciara is okay and the threat of the devil is no more. John and everybody else who loves marlena cast him out.

Ciara: Mm-hmm.

Ben: Mm-hmm.

Ciara: That poor devil never had a chance. Your try to come between us and our baby, you’re gonna get all types of hell. I don’t care who you are.

Jake: Yeah, lucifer didn’t know who he was messing with, right?

Ben: The prince of darkness. That’s no match for my pregnant wife. Look at her.

Ciara: Uh-uh, and he’d better not forget it.

Jake: All right, so I guess that’s a good enough excuse to lie low tonight.

Ben: Yeah, you and gabi are gonna have to celebrate without us, my man.

Jake: We’ll try. Happy new year. Enjoy the evening.

Ciara: Happy new year, jake.

Ben: Happy new year, my brother.

Jake: Oh, and happy new year, baby weston. Can’t wait to meet you. Good night.

Johnny: Tea?

Chanel: Uh-huh, I know you like more of a cappuccino, but it’s good for you.

Johnny: Thank you for taking care of me.

Chanel: You don’t have to thank me. I’m your wife. I do things for you. You do things for me. It’s in the contract.

Johnny: Well, I owe you then, okay?

Chanel: Damn right you do. The next time I’m not feeling well, I expect to be treated like the queen I am.

Johnny: Yes, your majesty.

Chanel: And besides it gives me a good excuse to skip work for the next few days, so…

Johnny: You know, chanel, I can probably manage to avoid my sister well into the new year, but you, you own a business with her, you know? You’re gonna have to talk to her eventually.

Chanel: Yeah, but it doesn’t mean I have to seek it out and not after the way she went at us for getting married.

Johnny: I probably didn’t help things by accusing her of being jealous of wanting you for herself.

Chanel: Yeah, that was awkward.

Johnny: Sorry.

Chanel: You do know that there’s nothing going on between us, right?

Johnny: Yeah, yeah, no, it’s just–

Chanel: Allie and I are just friends, nothing more.

Johnny: Yeah, you know, my sister and I, we–we’ve just been so competitive, you know, since we were babies with toys, friends, our parents’ love, but this one, competing for your heart was a new one. And I’m just not sure allie’s over the fact that she lost.

Allie: I wish they were around long enough for me to get to know them.

Lucas: Me too. They were the best. So everything okay with you and tripp?

Allie: More than okay.

Lucas: Really?

Allie: Yeah.

Lucas: What’s going on?

Allie: Well, remember how you were telling me about trying to save mom from ej?

Lucas: Yeah, yeah.

Allie: I kind of tried to do the same thing with chanel and johnny. When they told me they’d gotten married, I was completely blindsided.

Lucas: So wait, let me guess. You didn’t give them your blessing?

Allie: No, kind of sort of cursed their union.

Lucas: Oof, you cursed their union? That’s not like you; come on.

Allie: Well, it’s not just chanel that I’m worried about. I mean, I don’t want to see johnny get hurt either.

Lucas: No, I get it. I get it. I get it. They’re both young. They haven’t been together that long, but when it comes to matters of the heart, you know, people make their own choices. You don’t agree with those choices, then there’s a chance they’re gonna cut you out of their life.

Allie: Even if it’s bad choices?

Lucas: Yeah, even if it’s bad. I mean, johnny’s your brother, and she’s your best friend. I would hate to see you lose both of them. As a professional bull-rider

Sami: You know, ej had every right to be mad at me. I cheated on him with lucas.

Gabi: I’m sorry, but did he have the right to put your life in danger to make you suffer like he did?

Sami: I thought we were beyond all of that.

Gabi: Doesn’t surprise me. You know, I just hope that one day you will be grateful that you finally walked away from that sadistic creep.

Sami: Yeah, and I am. You know, a part of me is already. It’s just that… a part of me misses him.

Gabi: And that’s–sami, that’s okay, girl. Cry it out. There’s no shame in that.

Sami: Yes, there is. I hate it. I hate that I miss him after what he did to me. It just makes me feel weak.

Gabi: Hey, come on. You are a lot of things, sami, but weak is not one of them. So yes, you’re going to mourn as long as you need to, and then you’re gonna pick yourself up, and you’re gonna figure out what you really want in life.

Allie: I know I have to make peace with johnny and chanel, but what are you going to do about mom?

Lucas: Well, there’s some things–

Tripp: Hey, found you.

Allie: Oh, hey, you.

Tripp: Hey.

Allie: Hi.

Lucas: Hey, tripp, how you doing?

Tripp: Hey, how you doing, lucas?

Lucas: Good to see you. So what’s going on? You guys got big plans for tonight or what?

Tripp: Well, nicole has offered to babysit, and so we’re gonna get dressed up and see what kind of trouble we can find.

Allie: Yeah, what about you, dad? Got any plans tonight?

Lucas: You mean for new year’s eve? Yeah, I got plans. I got–I got big plans. I’m gonna go home and watch tv and snuggle under a blanket. It’s gonna be great. You guys go out and be young and have a great time.

Allie: Okay, well, happy new year’s, dad. I love you. And be easy on yourself. You don’t have anything to feel guilty about.

Lucas: Thank you. I love you too.

Johnny: So I guess we have managed to alienate ourselves from both of our families.

Chanel: Well, it wouldn’t be a first time for me.

Johnny: Me neither.

Chanel: Although my mom, she did start a wedding registry at three different department stores. She’s already bought half the stuff herself. Pretty soon we’re going to be swimming in crystal and china.

Johnny: Well, that’s nice of her, I guess, right?

Chanel: Buying gifts is just her way of saying she’s sorry.

Johnny: I knew I’d win her over eventually. What do you think it was, my–my charm or just my good looks?

Chanel: I think it was probably your good looks, ’cause you’re not that charming.

Johnny: Hey, hey, I’m sick, remember? I don’t want you to catch what I’ve got.

Chanel: If what you got is contagious, then I’m pretty sure I’ve already got it after what we did this morning.

Johnny: That is an excellent point.

Chanel: What? What now?

Johnny: I’m sorry. My nose is stuffed. I can’t–I can only breathe through my mouth. I’m sorry.

Chanel: Okay, see, this is what I mean about the whole charm thing. No. A stuffy nose is not that sexy.

Johnny: Yeah, I hear you. Well, let me tell you what. How about we, you and I…

Chanel: Mm-hmm.

Johnny: Go ahead and start our own holiday traditions.

Chanel: Oh, and you don’t want sharing the flu to be part of it?

Johnny: Well, we are both here together, so I was thinking maybe we could do what married couples do when they are in bed…

Chanel: Oh.

Johnny: Watch a movie.

[Laughs]

[Crowd cheering over television]

Ben: Babe, come on. We can watch the house buying shows any time. This is a bowl game. It’s the fourth quarter.

Ciara: Oh, and what game is this between two teams that you’ve never cared before–

Ben: Babe, that– that is not the point.

Ciara: Oh, yes, you’re right. You are correct. The point is, I’m pregnant with your child. So I get one and a half votes, baby, and that means that ceramic countertops and floor plans win.

Ben: Fine. But we are switching during commercials.

Ciara: We’re streaming it, baby. There are no commercials on peacock.

[Knock at door]

You have no idea what you’re getting into, so come over after–

Ciara: Give me the remote.

[Laughs] You’re so annoying.

Ben: Dr. Evans, hey. John.

John: Ben.

Marlena: I hope we’re not interrupting.

Ben: Never, no. Come on in, please.

Marlena: Hi, ciara. Happy new year.

Ciara: Well, I’m sorry. It’s just that I haven’t seen you since…

Marlena: Christmas eve.

Ciara: Yeah.

Ben: How are you feeling?

Marlena: A little tired, a little tired, but I’m so grateful for all the love I have around me.

Ciara: And we are very grateful to have you back.

Marlena: Thank you. I appreciate that. Look, I know there’s been a lot going on. I just wanted to come over here and ask for your forgiveness.

Ben: You don’t have to do that, dr. Evans.

Marlena: Well, after all that’s happened maybe–maybe there’s something I can do to–I don’t know, to make it up. Make it easier for you?

Ben: Really. It’s–it’s–it’s not–

Ciara: Actually, well, there is one thing you can do.

Marlena: All right.

Ciara: Would you mind telling me why the devil wanted our baby? I love my hardwood floors.

Marlena: Oh, the baby.

John: Doc, if this–if this is too hard for you, you don’t have to do it right now.

Marlena: I want to.

John: Okay.

Marlena: I can’t keep running away from it.

Ciara: Thank you.

Marlena: As I said, I want to. The thing is, I– I really can’T. I– I don’t remember what happened.

Ben: You don’t remember anything?

Marlena: No, emotions, images, but no real memories. Ciara, I–I don’t know why the devil was after your baby. I’m sorry.

Ciara: It’s all right. I–I understand.

Marlena: But if I–if I do remember anything at all, you’ll be the first person I come to.

Ben: You do not have to apologize. You have done so much for me.

Ciara: For us. I mean, without you, we wouldn’t be together. And we wouldn’t have a little family.

Marlena: John told me that I was encouraging the two of you to have a baby.

Ciara: Yeah, yeah, well, I’m–I’m pretty sure we would’ve done it anyway, but…

Ben: I mean, I–I had my concerns, but ciara made me see how amazing it could be. And she convinced me that we could be good parents.

Ciara: And we’re gonna have a beautiful life with this little one.

Marlena: Ahh, yes, you are. I’m so proud of you both.

Ben: It’s good to have you back.

Gabi: Hey, you know, jake and I, we’re gonna have dinner at the bistro tonight. Why don’t you join us?

Sami: Oh, I don’t know if being a third wheel is really good for my mental state right now.

Gabi: All right, I’ll ditch jake.

Sami: What would you say to him?

Gabi: That an old friend needs me. He’ll understand.

Sami: No, that is seriously the nicest thing ever, but I cannot allow it. It is new year’s eve, gabi, and I am irish and incredibly superstitious. So it is your job to get a great kiss at midnight, ’cause it gives you good luck the whole year round. It’s a complicated thing. So please be with a man that you love and the man that loves you.

Gabi: Thanks. Well, what about you?

Sami: Me? I have big plans. I’m gonna go home to my mother’s, which is an amazing thing to say at my age. And I’m going to cry all night into a pillow on new year’s eve.

[Laughs]

Chanel: Oh, no, tarantino, you are not picking the movie this time.

Johnny: What? Why not? I have great taste.

Chanel: Yeah, if you like zombies eating people’s faces or demons dragging teenagers to hell.

Johnny: I wasn’t gonna choose a horror movie for new year’s eve. I chose a classic.

Chanel: Yeah, that’s what you called, “vampire dingoes from outer space.”

Johnny: First of all, australian indie horror is underrated. Second of all, this is not that. I chose something with heart, with romance. Just give it a chance, please. For your husband.

Chanel: Oh, you’re pulling the husband card now are we?

Johnny: “In sickness and in health.”

Chanel: And I’m–I’m pretty sure that “until death do us part” is also part of those vows.

Johnny: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Chanel: Yeah, well, that’s what might happen if this movie that you’re picking gives me nightmares.

Johnny: Okay, there will be no nightmares. I promise. Now…

[Indistinct chatter on tv]

Chanel: [Sobbing] She kept the painting.

Johnny: She did.

Chanel: And he thought she ghosted him at the empire state building. She really never stopped loving him.

Johnny: Mm-hmm, I told you.

Chanel: So beautiful.

Johnny: “An affair to remember” is a classic. Cary grant, deborah kerr. What more can I say? What– what are you doing?

Chanel: I don’t want to wait till next year to watch it again.

Johnny: You want to watch it again right now?

Chanel: Mm-hmm.

[Knock at door] Who’s that?

Johnny: I don’t–come in.

Allie: Hi.

Johnny: Did you guys come here to let us know what horrible people we are and how our marriage is doomed?

Allie: No, I came here to apologize.

Chanel: Really?

Allie: Yeah, when you told me you guys were married, I–I was just caught off guard, and I reacted really badly.

Johnny: Did tripp put you up to this?

Tripp: It wasn’t me. She said she couldn’t enjoy our night unless we stopped here first.

Allie: I don’t want to lose you, either of you. And if I could have a do-over, I would go back. I’d take it all back, and I would just say congratulations. And I’m hoping that as the sister of the groom and the best friend of the bride you guys would do me the honor of ringing in the new year with us, and we drink to your happiness.

[ Echoing ]

Some of us were born for this.

Chanel: On behalf of my husband, we accept your apology and your booze.

Allie: Well, I am very happy to hear that.

Tripp: See, I told you it would be okay. So what do you say? You guys want to hang with us tonight?

Chanel: Johnny’s not feeling too great.

Allie: Oh, what’s wrong?

Johnny: Just a little rundown. I feel like I might be fighting something, but I think we can probably manage to rally. Ooh, franciacorta. Nice.

Allie: Italian sparkling wine seemed appropriate considering we missed your wedding in italy.

Chanel: That’s very thoughtful of you, horton.

Allie: Yeah, well, you deserve only the best, dupree.

Johnny: Finally something that my twin and I can agree on. Now, maybe you two could run downstairs, see if you can find a couple of glasses for this fine bottle of spirit.

Tripp: Absolutely.

Johnny: And I will hop in the shower, and we’ll meet you downstairs for the countdown at midnight.

Tripp: Sounds like a plan.

Johnny: Allie, thanks.

Gabi: When they say seven courses, they really mean it.

Jake: You know, I’d only like name half of them if I had to. Was it weird that they served sorbet in the middle of the meal?

Gabi: I guess so, yeah. Hey, did you know I was gonna ditch you tonight for sami?

Jake: Oh, really? You were gonna ditch me on new year’s?

Gabi: Not that I wanted to. She’s just going through something.

Jake: Oh, you mean like finding out that her husband’s the one who kidnapped her?

Gabi: Yeah, I mean, she’s devastated. Apparently she still loves the guy.

Jake: Yeah, well, I don’t know sami the way you do, but I’d venture to guess that she’s gonna land on her feet.

Gabi: Apparently we can’t say the same thing about her husband.

Jake: What happened?

Gabi: According to this text I just got from shin, ej dimera out as co-ceo dimera enterprises.

Jake: Shin cut ej loose?

Gabi: Uh-huh.

Jake: Ha-ha!

Gabi: Ej, is out. Happy new year to us.

Jake: Happy new year.

[Acoustic guitar music]

Lucas: Well, that’s good news. At least I cost ej his job. That’s something, I guess. Oh, well. No sense hanging around here for new year’S. Not gonna matter that much to me anyway. Sami, hey, what are you doing here?

Sami: Chad found proof that ej is the one who kidnapped me.

Lucas: Oh. Oh, man, I’m–I’m sorry. What–what does that mean?

Sami: It means I am through with ej for real this time, and I am never going back to him.

Lucas: Well, I can’t say I’m sorry to hear that. What, did you come in here for a drink?

Sami: No, I came to tell you about ej, not just that I’m finished with him but that I want to begin again with you.

John: Okay, so according to dr. Taylor, you’re not supposed to have any champagne, so I bought some strawberries and whipped cream in the fridge for a backup.

Marlena: Oh, that sounds heavenly.

John: All right. Let me grab them, and I’ll be right back. Don’t go away.

Marlena: I–I’ll be fine if you’re gone for a minute.

John: Yeah, but will I?

Marlena: Oh, think there’s time to catch “new year’s eve with carson daily.”

[Television static crackling]

[Eerie music]

Demon marlena: Won’t you let me back in right now? Let me in, marlena. It’s so much simpler not to fight it.

Marlena: No, no. Oh, dear god, no, please. No. (Man 1 vo) I’m living with cll

[Television static crackling]

John: Yeah, that thing’s been doing that a lot lately, doc. Got to have a glitch somewhere, but you know what? Every time I monkey around with the wire back here it seems to–ah, there it is. Gonna have to call the cable company, get someone to check that out. Hey, baby, what’s going on? Are you okay? What’s going on?

Marlena: Yeah, yeah, I’m okay now. I’m okay. Look, it’s–it’s it looks as though they’re about to start the countdown to new year’s, huh?

John: Yeah, yeah, yeah, t-minus one minute to go.

Marlena: Yeah, there’s no place on earth I would rather be than right here with you.

Jake: Ej out as ceo of dimera. That’s the first step. And here’s to a happy new year.

Gabi: A year that is filled with us running titan and dimera.

Chanel: Hey, johnny dragged himself into the shower. He’ll be down as soon as he’s dressed.

Tripp: Oh, well, he better hurry if he wants to make it by midnight.

Allie: Actually, too late, ten seconds, nine, eight…

All: Seven, six, five… lucas: Are you–are you sure this is what you want?

Sami: I’m sure.

All: One. Happy new year.

Sami: Happy new year, lucas.

[“Auld lang syne” playing]

Demon johnny: Happy new year, salem. You didn’t really think you were getting rid of me that easily, did you?

Phyllis: Okay, I think that’s it. Here. That’s good, jeremy. Thank you.

Lauren: Hey.

Phyllis: Hey!

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Phyllis: Happy last day of the year.

Lauren: Right? How are you doing?

Phyllis: I’m good, I’m good. I just talked to summer. And nick had a great birthday apparently. Kyle and summer took him to all their hot spots and favorite restaurants and stuff.

Lauren: Oh, I’m glad that went well and that summer is doing really wonderful. So it’s new year’S…

Phyllis: Mm-hmm.

Lauren: …And, um, you know, I know jack is out of town, not an option, so…

Phyllis: Okay, well, jack was just an option to you.

Lauren: Really? Was he? You know, you can keep saying that, but, alright, so do you have plans tonight?

Phyllis: Um, no. I really don’T. I mean, crystal’s taking care of all the festivities here.

Lauren: Well, good. Then you’re gonna have dinner with michael and me.

Abby: [ Gasps ] Yummy, yummy, yummy. Yummy, yummy, yummy. My little boy. My little guy.

[ Sighs ]

Chance: What would you like to change?

Devon: I mean, for starters, I would just like to spend more time with dominic.

Abby: Well, you know you’re always able to come over here and visit whenever you’d like.

Devon: I do. I was thinking, though, more in terms of — of time, you know, scheduled for just the two of us, where we can plan it out and we can, you know, look forward to it. I was even thinking, too, i mean, he can — he can have his own room in my place for when he stays over.

Abby: Correct me if I’m wrong, but it sounds like you’re asking for shared custody.

Devon: Practically speaking, yeah, that’s what I’m talking about.

Chance: Hey. You’re up. I thought you two were taking naps.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Chance: I’m so sorry if he woke you. I totally would’ve grabbed him if I would’ve heard him cry.

Abby: No, there were no tears. I went and checked on him when i woke up, and he was just in there playing with his little fingers and his little toes and being absolutely adorable.

Chance: He’s just too cute.

Abby: Yeah. And besides, that nap was not nearly enough to make up for all the sleep I lost last night thinking about devon’s request. I mean, he wants to change the legal agreement that we made before dominic was born.

Chance: Yeah, I know. He blind-sided both of us there, huh?

Abby: If he had broached the idea of shared custody before, I mean, I think that would’ve changed a lot of our decisions.

Chance: Mm.

Abby: We all agreed to a plan.

Chance: I know, I know, but, you know, that plan didn’t really take into account all the crazy things that happened this year. You know, nobody could have predicted any of that.

Abby: I know. And [Sighs] I know we owe devon so much. I’m incredibly grateful to him, not just for being the donor, but for loving our boy so much and for wanting to be a part of his life.

Chance: Yeah, it’s gonna be really important to dom as he grows up.

Abby: I would never want to do anything to jeopardize that.

Chance: So does that mean you’re thinking about agreeing to devon’s request?

Nate: Is that coffee for me?

Elena: Yes. It’s the least I can do since you’re helping me move today.

[ Both laugh ] Although I have to admit, I am going to miss living above crimson lights. Coffee always at the ready.

Nate: Well, I’ll tell you what, I will buy you an espresso machine and anything else you need to keep you happy in your new home.

Elena: Oh. Well, I don’t need things, silly. I just need you.

Nate: Oh, okay, I’ll just take back those new high-thread-count sheets you bought us, then.

Elena: Don’t you dare.

Nate: [ Chuckles ]

Elena: Can’t wait to sleep in those.

Nate: Mm, I’m looking forward to it, too. But not as much as I’m looking forward to waking up with you in my arms. The perfect start to a new year.

Chloe: My mom came up with the most brilliant idea for tonight. She’s setting all the clocks four hours ahead so the kids can still ring in the new year and make bedtime.

Chelsea: Sounds like fun. I don’t think connor’s gonna fall for that, though.

Chloe: Oh, so you guys are going to be enjoying the actual countdown. Drinking an apple cider toast to 2022.

Chelsea: Actually, connor is spending the night at a friend’s house tonight.

Chloe: Oh, well, I didn’t realize that you were gonna be alone. Why don’t you come out with kevin, lauren, michael, and me.

Chelsea: Oh, thanks, but I’m actually looking forward to a quiet evening at home. I might invite adam over to watch the fireworks, you know, ’cause I have such a great view.

Chloe: [ Sighs ] Chels, I don’t know if that’s such a great idea.

Sally: Aha. Great minds. I was just coming to get something to go, too.

Adam: Sally.

Sally: Have you considered my proposal to do nothing for new year’s eve? We can just hang out and do nothing together.

Adam: Well, it all depends on what the “nothing” is that you want to do.

Sally: So I’ve given it some thought. It’s actually a little overwhelming. There are a lot of ways to not do anything.

Adam: Hmm. Well, do tell.

Sally: Well, we could not plan to go to dinner and just happen to run into each other, you know, same place, same time. Or we could not go to a jazz club and countdown to 2022 in 5/4 time.

Adam: But is that really keeping in the spirit of this whole thing? I mean, getting dressed up and going out, it kind of steers towards the doing-something end of the spectrum.

Sally: Mm-hmm.

Adam: Don’t you think?

Sally: Yes, totally get it, and I really appreciate your commitment to the concept — you know, the whole inertia of it all. A body at rest stays at rest, in which case, maybe just hanging out would be our best option? You know, watching a movie, having some pizza. It’s really, truly the definition of doing nothing.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Can’t be a new year’s-themed movie, though.

Sally: Couldn’t agree more, because, as we said, we are not celebrating the holiday.

Adam: Right, right, right. It’s got to be a movie that we would watch any night of the year.

Sally: Like a slasher flick.

Adam: Really?

Sally: Okay, then, what about hitchcock? Can never go wrong with that. “The birds,” “psycho.”

Adam: “North by northwest,” “vertigo,” “marnie.” As it turns out, I am a huge hitchcock fan.

Sally: Cool. Well, then maybe you’ll hear from me. Or not.

Chelsea: Please don’t make a big issue about me inviting adam over tonight. You were fine with the fact that we spent christmas together.

Chloe: Well, that was totally different, and you know it. It was all about connor. Lots of co-parents suck it up for the holidays for the sake of their kids.

Chelsea: “For the sake of their kids” — what are you trying to say, that adam’s just tolerating my presence to keep connor happy? That if it wasn’t for our son, he’d want nothing to do with me?

Chloe: That is not what i meant.

Chelsea: We’re friends, okay? Even after everything I put him through. He hired you, then he hired me, trying to re-launch my career. I mean, it’s got to be a sign of something.

Chloe: Well, if you ask me, it was a sign of his guilty conscience over what he put the mother of his child through.

Chelsea: I know the difference. He cares about me, and it’s from his heart, not from some misguided sense of obligation.

Chloe: Okay, so we’re talking about a lovely, genuine, platonic friendship. And that’s where it stops, right? No. No, no, no, chelsea. Please tell me that you are not going down this path again.

Chelsea: I can’t help how i feel.

Devon: [ Sighs ] Hey, guys.

Nate: Hey!

Devon: Here I am. Here to help out. Put me to work.

Elena: Devon, I didn’t realize you were helping me move.

Nate: Well, I didn’t mention it because I wasn’t sure cuz here was even gonna show. He was pretty noncommittal when I asked him.

Devon: Oh, no, you guys always know that I’m down to help out.

Elena: Great. Nate, why don’t you get us all fresh coffees, and I will go box up the last few things.

Nate: Alright.

Devon: Sounds good.

Nate: [ Sighs ] So, how’s it going? Thinking about you and dominic, wondering if abby and chance got back to you about spending more time with him?

Devon: Not a word yet. And the more time that goes by, the less optimistic I am.

Abby: The more I think about what devon is asking of us, the worse I feel. I mean, I could have asked anyone to take care of dom while I was away. I mean, a number of people would have wanted to do it, but, no, I-I chose devon.

Chance: Well, because you trusted him. You knew he’d take good care of our son.

Abby: Yeah, but if he had told me he was having a hard time maintaining emotional boundaries…

Chance: Well, it might’ve not been an issue then. You know, maybe it wasn’t until I got back and he saw me struggling to adjust, maybe that’s when he started having concerns.

Abby: No. I don’t think he would hold that against you. He knows everything that you’ve been through and he knows that you’re doing your best. If anything, I think he has an issue with my parenting.

Chance: [ Sighs ]

From the very first touch,

Phyllis: That’s very sweet of you, lauren. Thank you very much. But you know I’m — I’m me. You know, I’m not a third wheel. I’m not going to crash your romantic dinner with michael.

Lauren: No, no, no, you wouldn’t be a third wheel. Chloe and kevin are gonna be there.

Phyllis: Ugh. Nice. That doesn’t make it more appealing, just so you know. I mean, besides, I’d be a fifth wheel, crashing with two couples. No.

Lauren: Mnh-mnh. Look, this is not a pity invite. I actually really need you. I need you to referee between chloe and me ’cause there’s still tension after she allowed sally to pull that whole thing with victoria’s wedding dress.

Phyllis: Oh, you know I’m on your side with that, and I would encourage you to call her every name in the book.

Lauren: Thank you. So I will be hurling insults in your ear all night long, getting it out of my system so I don’t ruin michael and kevin’s good time.

Phyllis: Huh. Trash talking with an occasional side-eye.

Lauren: Exactly.

Phyllis: That could be fun.

Lauren: Right? So you in?

Chance: Abby, I can’t imagine devon or anyone questioning your parenting. I mean, everyone knows how much you love dom.

Abby: Well, maybe it wasn’t clear when I dropped our baby off at devon’s doorstep and headed off to spain. Maybe he thought that was incredibly irresponsible. I mean, even you, you had some concerns about that. You can’t argue that point.

Chance: Abby, I was concerned about your safety. Okay? I understood why you felt compelled to come look for me, and I’m sure devon does, too. Especially since your instincts were right.

Abby: Maybe he thinks a good mother would never abandon their baby, under any circumstances.

Chance: I have never heard him say anything like that.

Abby: He wouldn’t have to say it. He wouldn’t have to say it. He would do exactly what he’s doing right now, by asking for a bigger role, wanting to be a bigger influence in dominic’s life, wanting to be his protector.

[ Scoffs ] And let’s not forget that he witnessed me letting stitch back into our lives, which shows terrible judgment.

Chance: Hey. No one can blame you for what happened with stitch, okay? There’s no way you could’ve known any of that was gonna happen. Are you kidding?

Abby: Devon knew that something was off. Maybe his protective instincts are better than mine.

Chance: Hey, relax. Breathe. Okay, all of these thoughts are coming up because you’re exhausted, you’re upset. Take a second.

Abby: Yeah. Maybe you’re right. Maybe that’s what it is, but what happens if we tell devon no? How’s he gonna react?

Chance: I don’t know. I — I mean, you know him better than I do. How far do you think he’d take this?

Chelsea: Can we please skip the same old argument about why adam and I shouldn’t get back together?

Chloe: You would think that after everything that he’s put you through, I wouldn’t have to remind you.

Chelsea: I understand your points. I really do. I understand. In the past, our relationship has been very toxic and it caused me to almost lose my mind, but I’ve learned from my mistakes. I’ve learned from them. I’ve left them in the past.

Chloe: Why do you have such tunnel vision when it comes to this guy? There are so many men out there. Beautiful, sweet, non-toxic men who would make you so happy.

Chelsea: I don’t doubt they exist, but what adam and I have is unique.

Chloe: What is it, chels? Do you think that you’re incapable of having a healthy relationship? Do you think that you’re unworthy of it?

Chelsea: You didn’t see us at christmas, okay? It was normal and it was special. It was two caring, mature adults doing what’s right for our son.

Chloe: [ Scoffs ] That was the point — for your son.

Chelsea: No, but — no, it was for us, too. I haven’t felt this happy or more at peace in a really long time, chloe. That’s got to stand for something, right?

Chloe: I am really glad that you were able to spend a few hours together without being destructive. Yes, it is a huge improvement. And that you got through it for the sake of your son, but it doesn’t prove that everything is going to work out in the long run.

Chelsea: I am convinced adam has changed, and I’m not the only person who thinks that. He’s made amends with his father, with his siblings. He’s — he’s calmer, less selfish, more settled. And I’m different. I’ve changed. I’ve worked so hard on myself. I’m not gonna fall into those same traps.

Chloe: And that is great and all, but it doesn’t mean that you should get back with him.

Chelsea: Well [Sighs] If it makes you feel any better, adam is skeptical about us working, as well, you know? Of course he’s gonna be a little gun-shy, considering what I did, but I really think that if i give him some time, he will learn to trust me again.

Chloe: Okay, you seem like you are very determined and anything I say is not gonna keep you from going down this pipe dream, so, please, please just for tonight, will you just come out with your friends and have some fun for new year’s eve? Okay, you can call adam tomorrow.

Chelsea: Why is it so important to you that I don’t see adam tonight? Do you know something I don’t?

Chloe: What? I-I don’t know why you would — why you would say that.

Chelsea: Tell me. Does adam have plans already?

[ Gasps ] Does adam have plans with sally? I brought in ensure max protein,

Chloe: I don’t know what adam is doing tonight. Why would I? We don’t discuss our social calendars.

Chelsea: Does sally have plans with you and kevin tonight?

Chloe: No, no.

Chelsea: But not because you didn’t invite her. You did, didn’t you? What was her excuse?

Chloe: She was very vague about the whole thing. She only said that she had plans, which made me wonder why she was being so evasive.

Chelsea: [ Gasps ] Her plans are with adam, aren’t they?

Chloe: I do not know, and I’m not going to speculate.

Chelsea: Well, I can’t imagine what else she’d want to hide.

Chloe: Don’t be so sure of that. Sally is quirky. She could be up to lots of weird stuff.

Chelsea: Well, exactly, and usually she’s brag about it. I’ve spent enough time with her. I’ve realized she’s not quiet about anything unless she has a reason, and she didn’t want to admit she was ringing in the new year with adam because you’ve warned her a bazillion times to stay away.

Chloe: Oh, just as many times as I’ve warned you.

Chelsea: That’s totally different. Adam and I share a history. We share a child.

Chloe: Yeah, and I keep telling you to just leave the past in the past. I don’t want either one of you to get mixed up with this snake.

Chelsea: I get it, chloe. I get it. I know exactly how you feel about adam.

[ Sighs ] So, how do you plan to put a stop to this?

Chloe: What do you mean? I have no say in the matter. Adam does not need my permission as to who he can go out on a date with.

Chelsea: Whoa, so it is a date?

Chloe: [ Sighs ] It was wrong — it was wrong choice of words. Sally specifically said that she was not going out on a date.

Chelsea: Who cares what sally says? She’s obviously trying to get her hooks into adam.

Chloe: [ Sighs ] You know…what does it matter anyway? What does it matter? The last thing you should be doing is sitting here by yourself stewing over what adam is up to. Please, please just come out with your friends. Let’s have fun tonight. We’ll throw our hair down, party like it’s 2022. You being here alone is just not — it’s not a healthy choice.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] You’re right. Definitely wouldn’t be.

Chloe: Great. Okay, so kevin and I will be by around 9:00. We’ll pick you up.

Chelsea: Sorry, but, like our friend sally, I’ve got plans now.

Elena: Hey.

Nate: Hey.

Elena: Is everything alright with devon? He seems a little off.

Nate: [ Sighs ] He’s still waiting to hear back from abby and chance about increasing his visitation time with dominic.

Elena: Does he think they’re gonna have a problem?

Nate: They’ve gone all day without giving him an answer. I mean, it’s possible his request didn’t go over so well, and I don’t feel too great about it.

Elena: Why?

Nate: I’m the one who convinced him to talk to them about his feelings. And now it seems like it might have backfired.

Elena: Well, I mean, don’t you think it’s too soon to assume the worst? Maybe they’re talking to their lawyers about amending the legal agreement. It’s pretty hard to track those people down during the holidays.

Nate: You would think newman-abbott-chancellor lawyers would make themselves available 24/7. But [Sighs] Maybe you’re right and this doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll turn devon down. That would be a tough blow. Little dominic means so much to him.

Abby: I mean, I can’t even believe that we’re having to think about this. Devon has been so supportive through this whole process, from the very beginning. I mean, up until now. And now we have to think about how far he’ll go.

Chance: I know, I’m sorry that I even mentioned it. Look, I bet the contract that you guys have is totally solid. I bet it’s fine.

Abby: Yes, yes, it is. I mean, christine and I went through it line-by-line. Although I-I hope it’s not gonna be an issue that I handled it while you were gone.

Chance: No, no, and I doubt we get to the point where we even have to worry about any of that, okay? Whatever we decide, though, we have to handle it in a way that’s respectful for devon, you know, and his feelings, ’cause he’s real sincere, the way he talks about dom. He wants to protect him.

Abby: Yeah, yeah, he is, and even though we’ve assured him time and time again that he will always have access to dom, I mean, I guess it must be scary for him that he has no — no legal guarantee. But, look, we have to do what’s best for our son and our family.

Chance: I know, I know. Hey, let’s take a break from all this, okay? Let’s clear our heads, get some fresh air. How about a walk?

Abby: Please, yeah.

Chance: Come on.

Abby: Yeah.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Adam: Hey, chelsea.

Chelsea: I need to talk to you. It’s important.

Adam: What — are you okay? You sound upset. Is connor okay?

Chelsea: I don’t want to discuss it over the phone. Can you come to the penthouse?

Adam: Uh…sure.

Chelsea: Soon?

Adam: Yeah, yeah. I’m leaving right now. Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Elena: I got you guys some snacks to keep your energy up.

Nate: Mmm. Oh, look who’s here. Baby dominic.

Abby: Oh, and abby and chance, too.

[ Laughter ]

Elena: Hi to abby and chance, too.

Nate: Sorry, guys, baby trumps parents every time.

Abby: Mm.

Chance: Guess we got to get used to that, huh?

Nate: Oh, we almost missed you guys. We’re actually in the process of moving elena’s things to my place.

Abby: How wonderful.

Chance: Congrats, man.

Nate: Thank you.

Elena: Hi, baby dominic. I missed you so much.

[ Laughter ]

Dominic: [ Giggles ]

Elena: You guys, I think he remembers me. He’s smiling.

Abby: Yeah, he probably does. I mean, devon was telling us that you checked in on him while we were in europe.

Elena: Yeah, we also spent thanksgiving together. Really had a chance to bond with this little guy.

Nate: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: Wondering what took you guys so long. Hey.

Nate: Hey, devon. Elena got us some snacks for helping her move.

Devon: Oh, thank you. I’m all set, though. Appreciate it.

Nate: [ Clears throat ]

Elena: Uh, nate, um, can you help me with something?

Nate: Sure, babe.

Elena: See you guys.

Abby: Yeah, bye.

Nate: See you guys later.

Chance: See you.

Devon: How’s my little guy doing? What’s going on, buddy?

Chance: Oh, you know, just out for a little walk, grabbing a little hot chocolate. Hate to tell you, man, but we don’t have a decision for you yet.

Devon: Oh, that’s — that’s more than fine. I want you guys to take all the time you need. Alright? I’m gonna — I’m gonna get back up there and start helping out before they think I ditched them. So, see ya.

Abby: Actually, devon, can i have a word with you privately for a moment?

Devon: Yeah, of course you can.

Phyllis: Yeah. Uh, okay, I decided. I’ll get all dressed up. I’ll spend new year’s eve with you and michael and chloe and kevin.

Lauren: Oh, yay! It’s gonna be fun.

Phyllis: Yay! It will, it will. Friends, champagne, a potential cat fight between you and chloe — it’s great. What better way to ring in the new year.

Lauren: Right. I mean, there is a way that you could improve it.

Phyllis: Why? How? What’s that?

Lauren: Well, you could call or text jack happy new year, and let him know that even though you rejected his christmas eve invitation, that things are good between the two of you.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Things are good between us. Listen, I only know he was out of town because you told me. He didn’t tell me himself.

Lauren: Well, maybe he doesn’t know that it’s okay to contact you and that you’d want to hear from him. Alright, just think about it, okay? Think about it. And I’ll see you tonight.

Phyllis: It’ll be fun.

Lauren: I know, so much fun.

Kevin: Huh? Look. Miles is gonna love laughing at me wearing these. And…how cute is our little princess gonna look wearing this? Almost as cute as her mom would look. Alright, what’s going on with you? You don’t seem like you’re ready to ring in the new year.

Chloe: I’m worried about a work situation. It hasn’t impacted work yet, but it has the potential to cause a boatload of issues down the line.

Kevin: Explain.

Chloe: Okay, here goes. Despite my best efforts to dissuade sally, she is determined to flirt with disaster in the form of adam newman.

Kevin: Not this again. What has she done now?

Chloe: Well, she won’t admit it, but I assume that she’s already made plans with adam for the new year’s eve, and normally it wouldn’t be that bit a deal — it would just be annoying — but now chelsea suspects what’s up and she’s not happy about it.

Kevin: Why would chelsea even care? I thought she and adam were through.

Chloe: I wish. No, she still considers adam her destiny. Go figure.

Kevin: Hmm, nothing to worry about there. It’s not like chelsea has a history of overreacting or anything when she gets jealous, just ask sharon.

Chloe: Now you understand why I’m freaking out.

Kevin: How did chelsea even find out about it? Don’t tell me that adam was cruel enough to rub it in her face.

Chloe: Nope. It’s on me, actually. I did my best to steer my dear friend in the opposite direction, but she — she just saw right through me, and now she’s got this plan, presumably to keep adam away from sally.

Kevin: Do you know what it is?

Chloe: No. She made me leave without telling me anything, and that’s why I am so nervous right now.

[ Sighs ]

Chelsea: Thanks for coming.

Adam: What happened? Where’s connor?

Chelsea: Oh, connor’s fine. He’s spending the night at a friend’s house.

Adam: Okay. So what has you so upset?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] It’s nothing specific. It’s just…

[ Sighs ] It’s just all been building up, and I can’t take it anymore. I have to get out of here. This is a gamechanger, Aside, and can we please justmanipulative narcissist in the

Kevin: I get why you’re nervous. Two reckless, impulsive women competing for the same manipulative narcissist in the same workplace? That is a recipe for disaster.

Chloe: Thanks. That’s so reassuring.

Kevin: But the good news is there is nothing you can do about it tonight, so put it aside, and can we please just enjoy our last date night of the year?

Chloe: I wish I could. I’m so sorry. I really do, but I have put so much time and energy into building this platform from scratch. I can’t just sit back and watch this whole thing blow up.

Kevin: Well, even if the worst thing happens, right, would it be so terrible if you lost this job and never had to worry about sally or adam again, huh?

Chloe: I know that I only got involved because it was mostly about having a safe place for chelsea to land after everything that she had been through, but I’m so invested in this now. I can’t stand by and watch all of the hard work that I’ve done just go down the drain because of some jealous rivalry.

Kevin: Don’t you think sally and chelsea are worried about that, too?

Chloe: Oh, no. No, no, they are just so nonchalant about the whole thing.

[ Scoffs ] Chelsea keeps saying, “oh, don’t worry about it.” “Oh, everything’s gonna be fine,” sally keeps telling me. Meanwhile, they are both on this collision course of epic proportions.

Kevin: And you’re stuck in the middle, trying to make sure tragedy doesn’t strike.

Chloe: How can two such incredible, beautiful, amazing, talented women who have so much going for them just get sucked into thinking that adam, of all people, is worth fighting for?

Kevin: Wish I knew. Obviously they see something in him we don’T.

[ Chuckles ]

Chloe: After everything he’s done. He doesn’t deserve to have anybody care about him. He deserves to be alone and miserable for the rest of his life.

Kevin: Be sure to tell him that.

[ Chuckles ]

Chloe: Maybe that is the solution. Instead of trying to have to get through to either of the women in this bermuda triangle, maybe I can convince adam to distance himself from both of them. Even if it’s out of his own self-interest, and of course it would be, because that’s all he ever cares about. Great idea. Thanks for the suggestion.

Chelsea: You of all people should understand why I’m upset. My reasons for wanting to leave this penthouse are the same as yours. The memories — I mean, they — they permeate through every inch of this place. They haunt me in every room.

Adam: I totally get what you’re feeling.

Chelsea: And I’ve tried — I’ve tried to get past it, adam. I really have, for connor’s sake, because I know he loves it here. I know he loves being back in his old room. But he doesn’t know everything that’s happened here. He doesn’t have to live with the ghosts lurking around every corner.

Adam: Yeah, I felt them, too.

Chelsea: All the times we hurt each other. All those days I spent trapped in my own mind, silently screaming to get out. I wish I could just go back in time and shake myself and force myself to get rid of all the negativity and the anger and the bitterness and realize — realize what I was throwing away before it was too late.

Adam: [ Sighs ] I’ve been exactly where you are, and I have felt the same feelings. And you’re right, it was easier for me to move out than to live with the constant awful reminders. So if you’re asking me for permission to move out, you have it. When I gave you the penthouse, i said you can do whatever you want with it.

Chelsea: I’m not asking for permission.

Adam: Then what? Forgiveness? You have that, too. I have zero desire to punish you for the mistakes of the past, chelsea. Okay, we have suffered enough already, and connor, too. I mean, I thought I made that clear enough already.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] What hurts more than the dark memories are the beautiful ones. All the loving ones, filled with so many promises that we just didn’t keep.

Abby: So chance and I have been talking a lot and thinking about what you asked us.

Devon: Well, know that I’m not trying to rush you into any kind of decision, okay? I want you guys to take your time, and if you have any questions for me —

Abby: Yeah, yeah, I have a lot of questions because we just — we did not see this coming.

Devon: To be honest, abby, i didn’t see it coming either. I really didn’T. Um, but I certainly didn’t mean to just spring it on you like i did.

Abby: Are you mad at us about something? Is there something that we did and you just never said anything until now?

Devon: No, no, of course not. I told you guys, it’s not — it’s not about anything you guys did. This is about me just wanting to spend more time with dominic. Honestly. And also, I want to be a support for you and chance. I want to be someone that you guys can both rely on the same way that dominic can.

Abby: [ Scoffs ] So, when you say that you want my son to be able to rely on you, is that because you think he can’t rely on me?

Devon: No, not at all.

Abby: Devon, just, please, be honest with me. Is this about spain? Did you feel like I abandoned my son, that I let him down?

[]

Adam: I don’t think it’s a good idea for either of us to dwell on the past, chelsea.

Chelsea: Well, it’s easy for you to say, adam. You moved away from this place and all the memories. Tonight is new year’s eve, and i can’t help but think back on that night two years ago.

Adam: Do you really want to go back there right now?

Chelsea: I can’t help it. You stood right there, all alone. I walked in. We connected eyes. We didn’t have to say any words. I fell right back into your arms. You remember the fireworks that night? They were pretty spectacular. I knew right then that I was exactly where I needed to be. The next day, we decided to put our family back together.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Chelsea, a lot has changed since then.

Chelsea: There was so much hope and excitement and — and love between us. What happened, adam? How did we lose it all?

Abby: Abby, you’re completely taking this the wrong way, ’cause I’m not criticizing your parenting skills or chance’S.

Abby: You trusted us to take care of our son alone before, I mean, and now it seems like something’s changed.

Devon: Nothing’s changed at all. No one said that I don’t trust you. That’s not what this is about. I know that you guys are going through a lot right now, especially chance being back home, right?

Abby: Chance told me about your conversation.

Devon: Okay.

Abby: And, yes, he’s not used to taking care of a baby, but he will learn.

Devon: Of course he’s gonna learn, and I think he’s gonna end up being a great parent, too. I’m just trying to help you.

Abby: There is more to this than just that, and we both know it. You’re not asking to babysit. You’re asking for shared custody, for legal rights to my son.

Devon: You know what? If you and chance are feeling so defensive about this, that’s not my intention. This was a bad idea, okay?

Dominic: [ Crying ]

Abby: I-I need to get back to dominic.

Chance: It’s okay, it’s okay, buddy. Hey! Hey, you guys are good. We’re totally fine. We’re totally good.

Abby: Yeah, you got it. You got this.

Chance: Hey, buddy. You’re alright, you’re alright, you’re alright.

Dominic: [ Crying ]

Chance: You’re alright.

Devon: I’m gonna take off, guys, alright?

Chance: Yeah, see?

Abby: Hey.

Devon: Hey, guys, I know that I said that I’d help out today, but something came up and I got to take off. I’m sorry.

Nate: Yeah, cool. No problem.

Elena: I guess that didn’t go well.

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Lily: Why does it seem like all of a sudden you think that you’re in charge now?

Victoria: Because I am.

Nick: Maybe there are greener pastures out there for you.

Noah: Where would that be?

Nick: Come work for me.

Adam: My personal life is not your business anymore until it involves connor, and this isn’t like that at all.

Chelsea: But it might be in the future? Sounds like you’re leaving the door open for that. Are you falling for sally spectra?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You look stunning. Hmm, you clean up pretty nicely yourself there. Well, it’s a big occasion. I know, I know. Happy new year. Yeah, oh, no, no, no, no. Not just new year, new beginnings with you, right here where it all started. Good evening and, uh, happy new year. Happy new year to both of you. Hi. Uh, before you get us seated, I was wondering, does mr. Valentin cassadine have a reservation here this evening? Why do you need to know about valentin? This seat taken? Hi. Oh. Is this when you ask me about the conversation I had with your purported father? I really couldn’t care less about anything victor cassadine says or does. Mm. Me either, but I thought maybe you’d be curious about what I said. Not really, no. Okay. Anna, you and I have been tiptoeing around each other for far too long. I think I’m over it. I think you are, too. So why don’t you let me take you out tonight? We can kick this wretched year to the curb, and we can start 2022 fresh. Best way I can think of starting it — with each other.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Door unlocks ] Drew. Surprise. Look, I was really looking forward to having my dad’s house to ourselves. And you sure you can’t get away? Unfortunately, something major happened with my mom, and I’m sorry, but I cannot leave her. But I’m really going to miss being with you tonight. Yeah, me too. You have no idea. Oh, I think I do. I’ll call you at midnight. Dante just texted me. He found my dad. I hope he’s okay. Yeah, I just…

[ Sighs ] I think it’s better that he keeps his distance for a little while after the way he hurt my mom. Michael, I am so sorry. I can’t believe the mess I’ve made — hey, willow, willow. Look, you didn’t do anything wrong. All you did was tell the truth about nina and my father, which is something he should have done a long time ago. Hey, mom. Excuse me. Wait, wait, mom. Just — just — just talk to us. Carly, I am so sorry about what happened in court. When you testified that you knew for weeks about sonny and nina, did it ever occur to you, in all that time, to tell me my husband fell in love with someone else? Maxie: Nina, what is the matter with you? You get to ring in 2022 free as a bird. You should be celebrating. Yeah, I should be celebrating, but I’m not exactly in the mood, maxie. Yeah. So scott’s legal maneuverings kept me out of jail, but he blew up my life and possibly sonny and carly’S. Ah. Hey. Hey. What are you doing here? Well, michael called me. Yeah? Yeah, he’s looking for you. Congratulations. You found me. I see that.

[ Laughs ]

[ Sighs ] Uh… he also told me about the hearing. Yeah. That willow took the stand and testified that you and nina fell in love in nixon falls. I did not fall in love with nina. That was mike. I didn’t know who the hell I was, but I can’t get carly to see that, so she kicked me out. What if she never understands? What if I — what if I lose her forever, dante? I’m sorry


I just promised scout that I’d come by and give her something a little special for new year’s eve. Drew, it’s — it’s fine. Scout will be happy to see you. Yeah, well, here’s hoping.

[ Laughs ] Okay, stop. Enough with the false modesty. Our daughter adores you. Martin: Valentin is my most lucrative client. Oh, so the more the merrier, huh? No, no. Far from it. Matter of fact, as far as valentin is concerned, our…association is a bit of a conflict of interest. Oh, really, it is? Mm-hmm. So much so, he issued a ultimatum — either his business or you. Okay, so obviously, you chose me. Oh, I don’t see why I should have to make a choice at all. He’s not here. He’s not going to be here. So, the way I see it, we don’t make a scene, then we could have our hummingbird cake and eat it, too. How does that sound? Wait. So willow said sonny fell in love, in court, on the stand? Yep. Wow, that is so dramatic. How did she even know? Well, she overheard me and sonny talking, in private, and I convinced her to keep it a secret, but scott pried it out of her. How did scott find out? No idea. Guten abend und happy new year, meine schoenen engel. What? Uh, I’m sorry, I didn’t get these to you guys by christmas. Got one for jake, too. Oh, he’s at a sleepover, but I’ll make sure he gets it. Okay. And little violet. I didn’t know you were gonna be here. Oh, it’s okay. Oh, now, who doesn’t need five bucks, huh? I ask you. Franco used to say that.

[ Sighs ] Okay. Okay. Say thank you. There it is. Thank you. Yes, I bet he did. He was always grubbing five bucks from me. But what is this gift? Well, we know they’re old-school tapes of sorts. Well, um… it’s franco’s music, and I thought we could listen to it, and, you know, keep his memory alive till new year’S. You know, he always liked this really crazy, uh, music. So, you know… what do you — what do you guys think, huh? Willow came to apologize. I am so, so sorry. I never wanted to say what I had to at that hearing. Never, but I had no choice. You had a choice before. You chose to keep it to yourself. Was I supposed to tell you that I overheard nina and sonny talking about how they fell in love in nixon falls when he didn’t know who he was? It was over.

[ Sighs ] Carly, sonny is back, and you are the one he loves, not nina. I didn’t — I didn’t want to hurt your marriage. I didn’t want to hurt you. Is that why you didn’t tell me? Or did nina ask you not to? Thank you. You gotta give carly some time, okay? She’ll come around. She’s gotta remember that you’re you. You’re not this guy who fell for nina in nixon falls — mike. That — that guy’s gone. He doesn’t exist. I told her. It doesn’t matter. Well, eventually it will. Come on, what are you talking about right now? How many times have you guys broken up when it’s supposed to be forever, and you end up working your way back — too many to count. Right. So hopefully, sooner or later, hopefully sooner, she’ll come around and realize that there’s nothing left between you and nina. That’s correct, right? There’s nothing left, right?


It’s new year’s eve. Shouldn’t you be with sam? Yeah, I’m gonna see her in a little bit. I gotta get you squared away first. You don’t got — get me squared away. I’m, uh… I just wanna be with my wife, and there’s nothing you can do about that. Yeah, just like there’s nothing you can do with falling for nina when you thought you were someone else. That’s love, man. That’s, like, chemical stuff. Can’t control that.

[ Sighs ] Look, dad.

[ Sighs ] Nina’s the guilty party here. Okay, you didn’t do anything wrong, and carly’s gonna see that. That’s not the problem. That’s not — that’s not the whole problem, anyway. I should’ve told carly what happened in nixon falls

before it came out in that courtroom. Okay. Why didn’t you? Attacking willow is not gonna make this any better. Mom, michael’s right. Okay, the blame is not on willow, it’s on nina. She’s the one who let sonny keep thinking he was mike. Yeah, a-a-and when they fell in love, nina kept this whole sorry charade going. Willow… did nina ask you to keep her and sonny’s secret? Yes, she did. Did you know? No, not until the hearing. And you’re okay with that? That willow chose nina over you — over the family who welcomed her with open arms. It was you. You’re the one who told scott about me and sonny. Guilty. And it was you who figured out that willow knew something. Aunt liesl, how could you? You’re free, nina. That’s all that matters. At what cost? You and scott may have wrecked sonny and carly’s marriage. Pity. More champagne! Why aren’t you two drinking yet? And destroyed my life! All the more reason you should be drinking. And I didn’t destroy your life, mein schatz. On the contrary, I saved it. I’ve allowed this club and my father’s return to monopolize most of my attention when I should have been giving you my time and energy. Well, thank you. But all the time and energy that you’ve put into this club has been totally worth it. The savoy is a success,

[Laughs] And so are you. Well, thank you. I — I didn’t think I needed to hear that, but, um…

[ Chuckles ] Thank you. And listen, as far as your father goes — look, I — I — I — we’ll figure — I really don’t wanna talk about that man, not when I’m trying to have a special evening with my lady. Well, that’s always nice to hear. Yeah, in fact… I would like nothing more than for us to be closer. What a coincidence. ‘Cause I want that, too. So we’ve gotta remember all the times with franco. You know… we also gotta remember to live our lives, and he — he would want that. Oh, I’m sorry, elizabeth, did I stick my foot in my mouth again? No. No, no. Cameron just said something like that to me. That’s all. Ah. Um… and you — you gotta watch your step, ’cause this is my family. They’re my heart. I know. Mine, too. But don’t tell anybody that I have a heart. Who’d believe me? Nobody would. Bye.

[ Laughs ] Happy new year. Okay. You, too. You okay? I’m just glad you’re here to help me bring in a brand-new year.


Aiden! Take the cake out, and I’ll clean up in here. Okay. Okay. I’ll do it. I wash, you dry? Deal. Okay. Hi, scout! Well, look at you.

[ Laughs ] You look adorable. Do you remember I promised to bring you something special for new year’s eve? Yeah? Okay, well, I hope you like them. Here we go. Wow. Cool? They’re glasses! May I? Yes. Yes.

[ Laughter ] Okay, here we go. Put them on. Let’s see. Oh, yeah. Those look great. 2022 coming. And I also got a little noisemaker. You just kinda shake it like that. Give it a shot. Don’t make too much noise for mommy. There you go. There you go. All night. I want you to ring that all night. Now, sam, I also thought maybe you might look good in a pair of these, as well, so… oh. Oh, come on. …There you go. You know, I love a good pair of glasses. Right? I knew that. I knew that. Let me see. Yeah, that looks pretty good. Am I alright? Will you stay until midnight? I saw that you and sonny were happy together. Why change that? Because you knew he was in love with someone else! Okay, look. I’m not defending dad — far from it — but I know he doesn’t love nina. I mean, mike from nixon falls, he doesn’t even exist anymore. Doesn’t he?! Michael, I asked sonny last night, point blank, if he still had feelings for nina, and he couldn’t answer me. Wait, has sonny been cheating on you?

[ Sighs ] He says not. Okay? And do you — do you believe him? I don’t know! I don’t know what to believe. I don’t know. Sonny says he still loves me, but I don’t know how he could when a part of him is still in nixon falls with nina. I don’t know what the hell to believe.

[ Door slams ] When I got my memory back and I knew who I was, I remembered everything, I got so angry. I lashed out at nina… like she was a stranger, an enemy. Alright, but when it came to filing charges, that was michael’s call. Right? Not yours. Why? I-I wanted it to be over. I didn’t wanna relive it in the courtroom. I was going to tell c-carly privately, and then… jason died, we were grieving, and then sasha and — and brando’s baby… died, and I-I thought it would be cruel to tell carly then. I wanted some distance from, you know, all that loss. And I — I waited too long. Can I get another drink? Please? Thank you. So when it came to your testimony… y-you said that what nina did to you was not a crime, right? She lashed out. She was hurt. That’s what people do when they’re — they get hurt. Sure. Right. So, I-I don’t know. What are you saying? You felt sorry for her? I mean, after she kept you from the people who love you for so long? I didn’t say that. I didn’t say I felt sorry for her. Well, you felt something. Yeah. And you still feel something. Yeah. What might that something be? Here’s the problem. It’s, like, a — it’s, like, a, uh — a tug and a pull, like mike is still in me. Like I didn’t leave all of him behind in nixon falls. Like… …I still carry a small piece of his heart. And god help me… …that small piece of mike’s heart in some way belongs to nina. Jason. Where are you? Why aren’t you here?

[ Sighs ]


Violet: That cake was super delicious. Cam: Mm-hmm. I agree, violet. That was top notch, aiden. I can’t take all the credit. It was franco’s idea. You’re the one who baked it. Okay, fireworks are about to start. Let’s go get ready. Okay. Come on, guys. Go, go, go. I’m sorry if franco’s presence is… they just really miss him. It’s okay. It’s, uh — it’s nice they can share their memories. He obviously did a lot of good for the family and you. What’s the matter? My ring. It’s gone. It must fall fallen down the drain. I would absolutely love to stay, but something tells me that midnight might be a little past your bedtime. Remember, I told you that I wanted to wait until your brother got home to celebrate? Yeah, but that was before we had these glasses. Drew. [ Laughs ] I do, I have to get home. But how about this? How about… I give you an airplane ride all the way upstairs and I tuck you into bed? Oh, that sounds fun. Let me grab these. Yeah. Yeah? Okay, you take those.

[ Laughs ] 1, 2, takeoff! Here we go! Arms out, here we go! Whoo-hoo-hoo! All the way up! Here we go! Whoo! Nice. Look, I don’t entirely understand what it is that you went through, but you can’t just forget everything that happened while you were mike. I mean, those feelings, those experiences, those are real. That’s a real part of you. That doesn’t just vanish. It’s like a shadow, an echo. Mike is still… …in here. But you know what? Don’t get me wrong. It’s not like — like, you know, my feelings for nina had anything to do with the love that I have for carly. Nina is like an ex.

[ Laughs ] And she’s just gonna fade, fade away. Hmm. It — it might not happen while you’re drinking yourself into oblivion, though, you know? Well, it’s — it needs to start, you know, fading tomorrow, because it — tomorrow? Yeah, ’cause it’s — it’s new year’s day… oh. …And, uh, it’s a good time to hit the re–

[ Laughs ] Reset? Yeah. Alright. True enough.

[ Laughs ] Oh… and the last thing I want is, uh… to have you sitting with me at a bar when you could be ringing in the new year with sam. Okay. I’ll go. You just, uh, tell me where you’re staying, and I’ll drop you off on the way, okay?

[Laughing] I’m fine. Are you sure you’re okay? Yeah. I’m a big boy. I can take care of myself. Okay. Alright. Alright. Uh, I mean, uh, listen. Happy new year. I just — thank you. I wanna thank you for, you know, just being you and being such a great son of mine. I just want you to know that everything you said to me, that stays between us, okay? Yeah. Thank you. You be good, alright? I’ll see you later. Alright.

[ Sighs ]

[ Crickets chirping ] I can’t believe sonny did this. I get that dad thought he was protecting mom by keeping it a secret, but… that doesn’t excuse it or make it right. What’s that saying? It’s — it’s not the crime, it’s the cover-up. Sometimes the worst things happen when we try to shield our loved ones from knowing the truth.

[ Door opens ]

[ Sighs ] Um… I’m sorry. I, uh — I know you guys are here for me, and I love you for that. All of you.

[ Sighs ] Ah, where’s the champagne? Life’s a ball. We’ve got a lot of living to do here. I’m afraid nina doesn’t see it that way. Are you still upset, nina? Yeah, I’m upset, scott. The last thing I wanted is for sonny’s and my feelings for each other in nixon falls to be used as a weapon. Well, funny. I didn’t think you would wanna rot in a prison in pennsylvania, and if I blindsided willow, I had to. We might have lost. Well, I would have taken the risk, scott, because now carly and sonny, they’re hurt, their whole family is devastated. Well, I didn’t know the corinthos family morale was of such importance to you. Maybe you should have told them that sonny was alive a year ago instead of keeping it a little secret. Okay, that’s it. I can’t stay here. I am so sorry, maxie. Happy new year. I love you. I’m mad at you, but happy new year. Scott.

[ Scoffs ] Maxie: Unbelievable, scott. You’re as tactless as you are rumpled.

[ Scoffs ] What? What is this rumpled business? What? What did I do? You said too much. That was unnecessary. I got the charges dropped, didn’t I? Even so, you didn’t have to rub her nose in her mistake.

[ Scoffs ] Oh. Are we having a little love spat? You know, as much as I love showing you off for this crowd, how would you feel about coming back to my place? I kinda know exactly what you’re doing. Okay. It’s not a — this is not an exit. No, this is kind of like we’re hiding out. So, how are we gonna get out of here? Uh, it would be very simple if you just fired valentin as a client and picked me. So I’ve been thinking about… the first time we were together. It was so wrong, but so much of it was so right because it brought me here tonight, making memories with a — with a caring and kind, intelligent and beautiful woman.

[ Chuckles ] So you’re saying you’re feeling me? I’m feeling you. Dr. Robinson, I’m falling for you.


Thanks, n’neka. Oh, look, martin’s here. That means lucy coe can’t be far behind. And what does that matter? Well, if it isn’t my favorite client and my favorite operative. Happy new year to both. Happy new year. You look exquisite. As a matter of fact, you’re a matched set.

[ Laughs ] Come to think of it, it’s kind of sad, isn’t it? What’s sad? That I look just as good, and I got no one to dance with. On account of I’m alone, bereft of company on the busiest date night of the year. Uh, maxie! Shh! Come here. Come here. I need your help so desperately. Lucy? And I’ll tell you later. Okay, listen to me, if I don’t get out of here without valentin seeing me, then martin is going to lose his most lucrative client. Please, please, please, please. Thank you. Stick with me. I got your back. You sure you know what you’re doing in there? ‘Cause you don’t really strike me as the handy type. Really? Really. Huh. I’ll have you know, I put myself through 2 years of medical school working at a plumbing company. Really? Really. Hmm. [ Giggles ]

[ Clang, water rushes ]

[ Yells ] Oh, my god, finn. Uh, are you okay? Here. Oh, thanks.

[ Groans ]

[ Giggles ]

[ Gasps, sniffles ]

[ Groans ] Refreshing.

[ Laughs ]

[ Panting ]

[ Gasps ] Thank you. Elizabeth. Hey. Hey. Come on in. Oh, those are nice sunglasses.

[ Laughs ] Uh, drew got them for me and scout. It was a surprise gift. Yeah. Yeah.Drew: Thanks for letting me tuck scout in. I, uh — dante. Uh, drew. Yeah. Happy new year. Happy new year. Yeah, happy, uh, 2022 to you guys. Thanks. Uh… have a good night. I’ll, um — I’ll see you guys around. Okay. Hey, drew. Anytime, okay? He only stopped by to see scout. You don’t have to explain anything to me, okay? I get it. You do? I do. Okay. Okay. Yes. It’s all good. Okay. I’m good. Okay. Come on. Countdown is about to begin. Hey, hey. Where are you going? I, uh — you know, I just need to get out of the house and, um, think, that’s it. [ Laughs ] Are you okay to drive? I am. I am. It’s just, I — it’s a lot to take in, so I-I just need to go, um, deal with my thoughts. That’s all. Just be careful, alright? I will. I love you. She’s going to be okay, right?

[ Door closes ] You know mom. When things get tough, she — she puts her guard up, so… it’s how she deals. Alright, well, I’m going out for a bit. Uh, are you going to follow your mom? No, uh, the way she drives, she’s halfway to wherever it is she’s going right now. Um, but I’ll see you soon. Alright. It’s probably almost midnight. Yeah, pretty close. I’m sorry, I’m not really in the mood to celebrate. Yeah, yeah, me neither. Curtis: 10. All: 9, 8… 7, 6, 5… 4, 3, 2… 1! Happy new year!

[ Cheering, party horns blowing ]

[ Horns continue blowing ]

[ Horns continue blowing ]


should old acquaintance be forgot

and never brought to mind?

Should old acquaintance be forgot

and auld lang syne?

[ Fireworks exploding ]

For auld lang syne

[ Party horn blows ] Why don’t we do this more often?

[ Laughs ] What? Stop talking.

For auld lang syne I just stopped by to say hello to phyllis. She’s not here. I gotta go. Uh… sonny, I-I don’t think that you should drive. I’m fine, I’m fine.

[ Sighs ] Where are my keys? Um… hey, do you need a ride? I can — I can drive you home. I’m not welcome at home. Alright, well, I will drive you wherever you wanna go. Okay.

But we’ve wandered many a weary foot

since auld lang syne let’s go.

For auld lang syne, my dear

for auld lang syne

[ Sighs ] Jason.

We’ll take a cup… well… what took you so long? I was with my dad. You were? Is he okay? Yeah. He’s going through some things right now, but he’ll be fine. Actually got him to open up to me a little bit. If you feel like you need to be with him. I mean, not that I’m —

[ Laughs ] Not that I’m kicking you out or anything. That’s not it. No? Okay. No. I mean, I offered, but… okay. Is he drinking? Yeah. Right. I took his keys. He needed some space. Which evidently leaves us here alone together.

[ Laughs ]

We’ll take a cup of kindness yet

for days of auld lang syne

and there’s a hand, my trusty friend look at that one! Oh, wow!

[ Fireworks exploding ]

And we’ll take a light… hey. Hi. You’re here. Of course. I couldn’t let 2022 start without this.

Auld lang syne

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Brooke: You’re sure you’re not going to make it home tonight? Ridge, it’s new year’s eve.

Ridge: I know. Weather’s only getting worse but we’ll wait it out. We’ll see what happens here, but I… think it might be a done deal.

Brooke: Okay, well, keep me posted.

[Sighs] I love you.

Ridge: I love you, too.

Sheila: Was that really so wise, brooke? Threatening me?

Brooke: I’m serious, sheila. I’m gonna do everything in my power to keep you away from our family, and ridge will agree with me. And I’m going to make damn sure he knows how crazy you are.

Sheila: Cheers, brooke.

Steffy: Are you sure you’re going to stay up ’til midnight?

Kelly: Yeah.

Steffy: Well, you know what?

Kelly: What?

Steffy: It’s almost time. Yes, it’s almost time.

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: And that means you–

Finn: The countdown is about to start. Look at that. Okay, so let’s–

Steffy: Get some noise–

Finn: Grab some noisemakers. Right? All right, this one.

Thomas: Uh, steffy…

Steffy: In greenland or somewhere, just go with it.

Taylor: Different time zones. That’s one of your father’s old tricks.

Steffy: Have you spoken to dad today?

Taylor: No. Should I have?

Steffy: Well, I just don’t think an old acquaintance should be forgotten. At least not by dad. Especially you!

Zende: Thank you.

Paris: Thanks. So, um, this has been great. What do you say we get the check and maybe split it down the middle?

Zende: Nah, I brought you here. I’m buying. Plus, we haven’t even had dessert yet. Just look at that sugary goodness, soon to be our future.

Paris: That’s kind of cheesy, right? When couples are so into each other like that in public. Maybe I’ll understand it when I’m their age, but, uh, I can take my own bites, thank you very much.

Zende: Their age?

Paris: Yeah, I mean, we’re– we’re so lucky. We’re young and single and we don’t have stuff tying us down. I don’t know about you, but I would like to appreciate that part of my life for as long as I can.

Zende: You want to appreciate being single?

Paris: Yeah, don’t you? I don’t know, it’s just something about the end of the year that gets me thinking about the future and all the possibilities, and I’m enjoying this ride that we’re on, but we still have so much life to live. And someday that’ll come… marriage and settling down, but not any time soon.

Thomas: Three, two, one..

[Hayes cries]

All: Happy new year!

Steffy: Give me a hug, kelly. Happy new year, baby.

Thomas: In greenland.

Steffy: Just go with it.

Taylor: Oh, they’re so sweet.

Thomas: I know. I know, they’re– they’re done.

[Overlapping chatter]

Kelly: Pretty.

Taylor: Oh, that is a gift from… someone. Sheila.

Thomas: Why?

Kelly: Ow.

[Steffy gasping]

Finn: You okay?

[Kelly cries]

Sheila: My son. I’m finally getting a chance to be with you all because of taylor of all people. And brooke wants to try to keep me away from you? Let her try.

[Brooke gasps]

Brooke: I can’t believe this.

Deacon: Ridge isn’t coming back?

Brooke: Just a stupid storm is grounding all the flights for some reason. Oh! Oh, no.

Deacon: I got it. I got it. Don’t worry about.

Brooke: That was my only bottle. Oh…

Deacon: All right, here we go. Yep, that’s it. Oh, at least it didn’t break! Oh, my god. New year’s eve, all alone.

Deacon: It doesn’t have to be. I could stay if you want. Brooke, I’m alone, too.

Paris: I’m all for marriage, maybe five, 10 years down the line, but I’m young and there’s so much I want to experience. And that’s why we work so well together, because I know you think the same way. We’ve always kept things loose and casual and that feels good.

Zende: Yeah, sure does.

Paris: These are exciting times for the both of us, zende. We both have these incredible careers and we have each other, but we also have our independence. So let’s enjoy this time, enjoy each other, and let’s make this year ahead the best one yet. Yeah.

Steffy: I know. I don’t think we’re going to get our fabrics for a while.

Thomas: Hey. Is kelly okay after her boo-boo?

Taylor: Yes, she is. Finn’s reading her a story.

Thomas: Hmm.

Steffy: Sheila did have a hand in it. So, now that you’ve invited sheila over for christmas eve and she stopped by your office, are you bffs now?

Taylor: Gosh, I– I want her to change. I want her to get better. I– I really do, but I don’t know. I– I think it’s best to keep an eye on her. The kids had a good time.

Thomas: They did.

Steffy: Yeah.

Thomas: That’s true. And I’m glad I got to see that.

Taylor: I wish douglas was here– I’m sorry.

Thomas: Hey. Me too. Me too. But you know what? Douglas is with hope tonight.

Liam: Douglas, aren’t you supposed to be in bed?

Douglas: Where’s mom? Beth woke up, so she’s– she’s singing her back to sleep. Come here. Come here. What’s going on?

Douglas: I can’t find peanut butter.

Liam: Peanut butter, the rabbit?

Douglas: Yeah, I can’t sleep without him.

Liam: Huh? Well, that means we gotta find him.

Brooke: You want to stay? You’ve had too much to drink if you think that’s gonna happen.

Deacon: Oh, I’ve had too much– oh, there you go. Yeah, I’m not the one stumbling around, knocking bottles over.

Brooke: Stumbling? Stumbling? What–

Deacon: Brooke, have you been drinking?

Brooke: My god, deacon. No, non-alcoholic. It says right there. Can you read? You know, I walk by this liquor cabinet every single day and I’m not tempted to have a drink. Although, tonight, I should be allowed.

Deacon: What are you suggesting?

Brooke: Uh, a toast, maybe?

Deacon: Uh-huh.

Brooke: Mm. Vodka.

Deacon: Okay. All right.

Brooke: The real thing.

Deacon: Brooke, this is not a good idea.

Brooke: Oh, stop it. Stop being such a downer.

[Deacon sighs]

Brooke: Ooh! Ooh-hoo-hoo. Wow!

Deacon: Christ– that was good. Okay.

Deacon: All right.

Brooke: Mm. You gonna join me?

[Deacon sighs]

Brooke: Oh, come on, deacon. Come on. Slug one back with me, buddy ole pal. It’s new year’s eve.

Deacon: All right. All right. Okay. All right. Well, if you’re in, I guess I’m in.

Brooke: Okay, gotcha.

Deacon: Oh, boy.

Brooke: There you go. One for you and one for me. Cheers.

[Deacon coughs] Most bladder leak pads were similar.

Paris: Thank you. If you hadn’t have sent that text..

Carter: So, what happened?

Paris: Well, I was able to steer the conversation about how great it is to be single. And as for me, I’m– I’m just not ready for marriage and I tried to be as kind and loving as possible. And eventually he– he got the hint.

Carter: So he never took out the ring?

Paris: No. I just couldn’t let him do it, but I didn’t want him to feel rejected. I don’t know, I just never wanted to hurt zende.

[Notification rings]

Steffy: Dad.

Thomas: Oh.

Steffy: Hey! Happy new year!

Ridge: Hey, steffy. Happy new year.

Steffy: Oh. I’m going to put you on speaker, okay? How was your flight? Are you home?

Ridge: Funny story. I’m not going to make it home tonight.

Thomas: What? Really?

Ridge: We’re grounded, so I’m not going to see brooke for new year’S.

Taylor: Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.

Ridge: Doc? How ya doing? Happy new year. Did you pull out the cards, yet?

Steffy: Cards?

Ridge: Ah, you remember? Your mom would pull out cards to make sure you stay up ’til midnight.

Taylor: I was just about to suggest it. I wish you were here to join us.

Ridge: Well, we’ll do it some other time. I’m happy you’re back. The kids are happy, too.

Taylor: Well, not as happy as I am. Safe travels home, ridge. See ya next year!

[Laughter]

Thomas: Good one.

Liam: All right, so it’s definitely not in the bedroom. I don’t think it’s out here, so do me a favor, just try to, like, think really, really hard. Where was the last time you saw him? Grandmas! While– while we were watching the movie! I think.

Liam: So, how about just for tonight, we get another stuffed animal, just to fill in? How’s that?

Douglas: But I want–

Liam: I know, believe me, I know. I get it. I totally get it. But you can do this, man. You can do this. You can go without peanut butter for one night. I have faith in you. I believe in you.

Brooke: Oh!

Deacon: Wait, wait. I was just–

Brooke: Yeah, I can’t–

Deacon: I was thinking how much you– you hated me when you first met me.

Brooke: No, I didn’t– I didn’t hate you. It was the– it was the clothes you wore.

Deacon: What are you talkin’ about?

Brooke: Yeah, you had those really tight leather pants and–

Deacon: Yeah, that was a strong look. Are you kidding me?

Brooke: Oh, wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait. Wait!

Deacon: You didn’t like my leather pants?

Brooke: No, the bell bottoms! Oh, my god. You’d put the bell bottoms on and you– you went, “whoo!”

Deacon: I have never worn bell bottoms in my entire life.

Brooke: You would, like, strut–

Deacon: Oh, stop it. I’ve never walked like that, either. Come on. The hell’s wrong with you.

[Both laughing] Wait, wait, wait. What is– what is this? What are you doing with this? You savin’ this for– wait, check this out.

Brooke: Oh, my–

Deacon: Ready?

Brooke: Okay.

Deacon: Deacon claus.

Brooke: Ah, yeah. Ooh.

Deacon: What do you think? You like it? Huh?

Brooke: Wait, wait. Let me see. Okay, okay. Okay, it’s missing one thing.

Deacon: Ah.

Brooke: Yes, I think– I think we need this.

Deacon: Yes, of course.

Brooke: This will finish the look.

Deacon: And that is the look.

Brooke: Yes, I love it!

Deacon: Ah, you’re pouring another one already, huh?

Brooke: Yes, of course. It’s new year’s eve.

Deacon: Okay, new year’s eve, right.

Brooke: And I haven’t drunk like this with you in a long, long time. And it feels good, right? It’s not like I’m gonna do it again.

Deacon: Fall off the wagon one night, ya get right back on.

Brooke: That’s right. Drink it up.

Deacon: Mm–

[Brooke gags]

Deacon: Boom.

Brooke: Wait.

[Deacon chuckles] That went down hard. Woo! Oh, my gosh.

Deacon: You know, this is exactly what I used to– I used to dream about this, you know, when I was alone in my cell.

Brooke: What? Drinking with me?

Deacon: No, no. I just– I used to dream about being a part of hope’s life.

Brooke: Oh, yeah.

Deacon: And a part of yours. Just spending time with you, you know? Just enjoying ourselves, having fun like this. Reminds me how great we were together.

Carter: I know it wasn’t easy but zende’s better off knowing the truth.

Paris: Yeah?

Carter: Yeah. And paris, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to be single and playing the field a bit. It’s normal.

Paris: You don’t think I made a mistake?

Carter: Being honest? It’s never a mistake.

Paris: Oh! I’m just– I’m just so confused. I mean, I care about zende and I never wanted to hurt him. I mean, he was going to propose to me–

Carter: Yeah, it’s okay. It’S… it’s okay.

Taylor: You know, we don’t have to play rummy, this is just something your father and I used to do.

Finn: Ah, no, it sounds fun.

Steffy: Yeah, fun until you turn into mr. Competitive.

Finn: Oh, what? Who, me?

Steffy: Yeah. You. Don’t deny it.

Taylor: Oh, steffy, I’m so happy to see you in such a loving, wonderful relationship. I’m really grateful to be here, but if I ever become a third wheel–

Steffy: Mom, please.

Finn: No, that’s not possible.

Steffy: And if third-wheeling means helping out with our kids, you are more than welcome.

Taylor: Oh, it brings me so much joy to be here in their lives, and douglas’.

Steffy: And dad’s? Now that you’re back in los angeles, you could be spending more time with him. And if brooke shows her true colors…

Thomas: Then maybe he’ll realize that there’s another option out there. Maybe he’ll realize that there’s a woman he should have been with all along. I’m guessing you’re enjoying yourself right about now. Enjoying that “non”-alcoholic champagne.

[Chuckles] Next year is going to be a bitch, brooke.

Brooke: We were a lot of things, deacon, but great?

Deacon: Come on. You know we were. Look, I’m not talking about the circumstances or the pain. I’m talking about when we were alone. The connection. Don’t you remember the passion, the desire that we had? I– that was the most intense that I ever knew. And I’m guessing it was for you, too.

Brooke: Ooh, well…

[Chuckling awkwardly] Mm. You know… there. I should’ve cut you off a couple of drinks ago.

Deacon: Why? ‘Cause I’m speaking the truth? You have any idea how much I thought about you while I was in prison? About us? About what we shared? About what could happen between us if we just had the chance? And now you’re looking at me like that.

Brooke: Like what?

Deacon: Like you used to. Brooke. I never stopped loving you. Never.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Knock on door ]

Sally: I am here on a mission. The latest video of billy abbott —

Adam: The one sent by an anonymous friend?

Sally: Yeah. I wanted to see what came of that.

Adam: Um, nothing…yet.

Sally: You know, I just have to say, you seem to know the guy pretty well. He showed up at the dive bar, just like you said he would, and he seemed very interested in the poker action.

Adam: Well, the way that billy’s been acting out and drinking, predicting his next move wasn’t that much of a feat. But you captured it all. Well done. You’re the best.

Sally: “Best,” yes. Yes, I know. I got the text after the video I sent you.

Adam: It was much appreciated.

Sally: Then maybe you wouldn’t mind telling me what you plan to do with the information that I’ve given you.

Adam: Shouldn’t the satisfaction of watching me turn the tables on adam be enough for you?

Victoria: Well, assuming that he buys this act of yours that you’re drinking and gambling again and spinning out of control.

Billy: Oh, he will. And when he does, he’s gonna use newman media to shame me. And that is when I threaten to sue him and his company into oblivion.

Victoria: If you didn’t think billy could pull this off, you wouldn’t be here making demands in exchange for your silence.

Victoria: Well, let’s just assume that everything goes according to plan and adam takes the bait and he goes scorched earth on you in the press.

Billy: You know him. He won’t be able to resist.

Victoria: I won’t tip off adam or my father if, and only if, you go through with this lawsuit. And I don’t mean just threaten him. I mean hit him hard. Demand a crushing amount of money.

Billy: This isn’t about money, victoria, and there’s no guarantee that newman media would have to pay out a dime.

Victoria: Yes, but the damage to the reputation would be devastating. It would be enough.

Billy: All I want is an admission from adam that he set me up. That would be vindication for me. And I think you know I deserve that.

Victoria: Vindication would mean public acknowledgement that the story that you published about ashland, about his criminal activities, was true.

Billy: It is true.

Victoria: It would require my husband to take a hit for things that he did in the distant past. Why would I go along with that, billy?

Billy: You want to use my lawsuit to scoop up newman media, the company your father snaked out from you when you were trying to acquire it.

Victoria: I’m simply giving you the terms for my silence.

Rey: Thank you.

Chelsea: Hey, there.

Rey: Hey. How’s it going?

Chelsea: It’s good. It’s good. Although I seem to have misplaced my gloves, so I was circling back to check the lost and found.

Rey: Well, when my waiter comes back with my takeout order, we can ask him.

Chelsea: Sounds good. So how was your christmas?

Rey: You know, it was really nice. All of sharon’s kids were there, so that was a lot of fun. How was yours?

Chelsea: It was wonderful to be with connor again. You know, he was just so thrilled to be able to spend time with both of his parents, even if it was just for a day.

Rey: Yeah, I’ll bet.

Chelsea: And thank you for the gift you sent him. Oh, my gosh! Chicago blackhawks jersey. Wow. I mean, he put it on as we’re opening gifts and he’s yet to take it off.

Rey: Well, I’m glad he liked it.

Chelsea: Yeah, yeah. Connor’s really into hockey these days, so it was perfect. Very thoughtful. Thank you.

Rey: He’s a great kid.

Chelsea: He is. You know, connor worships the ground you walk on and he thinks you walk on water.

[ Chuckles ] As leery as I am about victor having, you know, as much access to him as he wants, it’s really comforting to me knowing that you live close by.

Rey: Well, he seems to be doing well. I saw him getting in some practice on the ice with noah the other day, and, you know, he may be new to the sport, but he’s definitely got some skills.

Chelsea: Oh. Says the guy from miami.

Rey: [ Laughs ] Right. Needless to say, I was super impressed.

Chelsea: Yeah. Listen, I’m just glad connor has a passion. It’s both fantastic and terrifying, given all of the blades and flying pucks, but I’m excited for him.

Rey: So how are you?

Mariah: So how soon after elena moves out, could we move in?

Sharon: Um, well, I want to just shampoo the rugs and steam-clean the upholstery, paint the place.

Tessa: I mean, I think it looks perfect the way it is.

Sharon: Okay, well, then I’ll keep it the same color. But, you know, there’s a process I go through any time I turn the place over for a new tenant, and I would do the same for you girls.

Mariah: You are not gonna win this one, tessa. She’s determined.

Sharon: I just want everything to be perfect for you.

Tessa: I mean, it is — perfect size, perfect location.

Mariah: Complete access to the best coffee in town and close to you.

Sharon: Sounds like you’re trying to butter up your landlady.

Mariah: We were thinking more like… grandma.

Mariah: Tessa and I have always talked about raising a child together someday.

Tessa: I mean, we’ve both had separate conversations with you about that.

Sharon: Mm-hmm. So this is a ways off?

Mariah: It was.

Tessa: Not anymore.

Mariah: Yeah, we decided that we want to get the process started now instead of down the road.

Tessa: And by process, she means adoption.

Sharon: [ Gasps ] I see.

Tessa: Yeah, I mean, we just wanted to start seeing how it all works. I mean, what the legalities are, how long it’s gonna take.

Mariah: And when tess’s new album comes out, I mean, she’s gonna be on the road all the time.

Tessa: Yeah, not the best time to conceive.

Mariah: And the doctor said I should wait at least a year before getting pregnant, so, realistically, adoption made the most sense to us.

Sharon: Well, it sounds like you’ve given this a lot of careful thought, which I’m happy to hear.

Mariah: This is a decision that tessa and I made together. You know, we did not take this lightly. We had a lot of long, in-depth conversations about this, you know, what I went through, how it affected me, taking on the responsibility of bringing another life into this world.

Tessa: I mean, I never thought that this would be possible for me, until mariah, because of how big our love is. It’s big enough to fit a child into our little family. So that’s where this is coming from. It’s an expression of our love and commitment to each other.

Mariah: We wouldn’t be going into this if we both weren’t ready, genuinely sure. And now we are.

Adam: No decision has been made.

Sally: Meaning you’re not gonna use what I sent?

Adam: [ Sighs ] Would it really matter to you either way?

Sally: Honestly, I’m kind of ambivalent about the whole thing. Seeing him gamble, secretly spying on him, knowing that he’s an addict, it’s not exactly taking the high road.

Adam: Okay, well, let me just get one thing straight. I don’t take any pleasure about watching the man relapse. It’s not something that i wanted. It’s not something that i caused, as much as billy tries to proclaim that when he’s had a few too many. When he came after ashland, he pushed people that he knew would push back. He took a gamble, and he lost, and his career took a major hit.

Sally: Yeah, it sure seems that way.

Adam: And still, it’s not like billy’s out on the street. He’s a trust-fund baby that has lots of opportunities. He could jump on the executive team at jabot or chancellor if he wanted to. But unfortunately, he’s the kind of guy that doesn’t like to cut his losses and walk away after he’s had a big loss.

Sally: Yeah, I mean, that fits with everything I’ve observed.

Adam: Mm-hmm. More often than not, he’ll end up doing something even more reckless. I mean, he threatened me openly. And some people might write that off as his anger or his booze, but I think it would be a mistake not to be prepared.

Sally: So the information that I’ve been feeding you is basically protection in case billy comes after us somehow?

Billy: I think there’s a way for both of us to benefit here.

Victoria: How?

Billy: If or when you get newman media back, you let me run it.

Victoria: You?

[ Laughs ] Oh, please.

Billy: Why do you say it like that?

Victoria: Oh, billy, do i have to spell it out for you? I mean, you failed at running chanccomm. Do you think I’m gonna give you a shot at a repeat performance?

Billy: Victoria, I did not fail. I was a victim of a very carefully orchestrated plan by victor and adam to destroy me, when they insisted that the story about ashland wasn’t true, but we all know it is. Nonetheless, I never planned on publishing that story. Ashland’s lawsuit was enough to cripple us. So I swallowed every ounce of pride that I had, and I made a very public retraction, and i stepped down from chanccomm to not watch it be sold or dismantled right in front of me. Then I came up with this plan to force victor and adam to acknowledge what they did. This is about salvaging my reputation, my credibility, my name. Don’t take that away from me. You owe me this much.

New vicks convenience pack. Do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need? Now you can sell your policy – even a term policy – for an immediate cash payment. We thought we had planned carefully for our retirement. But we quickly realized we needed a way to supplement our income. If you have $100,000 or more of life insurance, you may qualify to sell your policy. Don’t cancel or let your policy lapse without finding out what it’s worth. Visit coventrydirect.Com to find out if your policy qualifies. Or call the number on your screen. Coventry direct, redefining insurance.

Victoria: Well, you make a very compelling case.

Billy: Do we have an agreement?

Victoria: I wasn’t expecting a counterproposal.

Billy: So what were you anticipating? That I was just gonna do whatever you said, as long as you agreed not to screw me over?

Victoria: I’m willing to look the other way while the game is afoot, providing that you follow through with your threat, file suit, go after real damages. Give me something to work with, billy.

Billy: Right, so you end up with newman media and chanccomm, and I’m out in the cold with victor and adam?

Lily: That’s a clever strategy.

Billy: It is, isn’t it?

Victoria: I haven’t said no to anything, have I?

Billy: No, but you haven’t said yes. It feels like you’re giving yourself a little wiggle room.

Victoria: Oh, I see. So now you’re critiquing my choice of words. That’s not really a good way to get me to go along with your plan.

Billy: Yeah, but see, the fact that I pay attention to words should prove that I’m able to run a media company.

Victoria: Oh, come on. You want to be ceo, not copy editor.

Billy: I believe you should be able to run every aspect of your company.

Victoria: I don’t disagree with that, but a good leader also shows good judgment, and you’ve given me plenty of reason to doubt you.

Billy: You know what this is, vick? A classic victor move. Or maybe this is about ashland, because he wishes he sold cyaxares to you to begin with.

Victoria: Don’t worry about my motivation. One word from me, and your plan is — it’s finished.

Billy: Let me ask you something. Are you enjoying my downfall? Are you enjoying your father strutting around talking about what a loser I am? Adam lapping it up, enjoying every minute of it?

Victoria: My personal feelings are beside the point.

Billy: That’s very convenient for you, because this is my life, this is my reputation. And we have worked very hard to make sure that our kids are not affected by this. You want them to find all this out? Because they will. Is that what you want? Look, you want to be the tough negotiator. That’s fine. Let me say this — me running newman media is good business. I can continue the good work that I did at chanccomm for both of your companies.

Lily: Billy, you’re losing sight of what this plan was about in the first place.

Billy: After everything that adam has done to me, after everything victor has done to me, everything that I’ve been through, I deserve this.

Victoria: I’ll take everything that you said under consideration.

Adam: This evidence of billy drinking and gambling, it’s nothing new. Given how many times it’s happened in the course of his life, it has lost its shock value.

Sally: That’s sad.

Adam: Yeah, it is. And I understand why you’re on the fence about exposing his behavior after seeing it up close. And while I am grateful that you captured on video for the good of the company, what happened doesn’t warrant a preemptive strike.

Sally: Well, I am really relieved to hear you say that, because I was not looking forward to a big war that could mess up the plans that we have for newman fashion.

Adam: No, that is the last thing that I want, so you have nothing to worry about. Just keep doing your job and coming up with great ideas. I expect 2022 is going to be a breakout year.

Sally: Yeah, I have a feeling that it’s gonna be a good one. How do you plan to ring it in? Do you have any plans for new year’s eve?

Adam: [ Exhales sharply ] Actually, no. You?

Sally: No, I don’t have anything going on either.

Adam: Well — well, aren’t we exciting?

Sally: You know, here’s a thought. What if we did nothing together? Like as friends, of course, and work colleagues.

Adam: It’s very original.

Sally: Mm. Just like me.

Chelsea: I’m happy because my son is happy.

Rey: I asked about you. You can be honest with me, chelsea.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] You’re one of the few people I feel I can tell the unvarnished truth to, which is saying a lot considering our history.

Rey: Mm. Well, I’ve seen you climb out of that dark place you were in, get your life back together, be the kind of mom that connor needs you to be. Says a lot about you.

Chelsea: I’m still finding my way. I don’t feel settled back into my life here yet.

Rey: That’s understandable. You just got back.

Chelsea: Not to mention, I’m living in a penthouse where there are all these memories of adam and I. I mean, we lived there together, and now I just signed a contract to start working at his company. I mean, this whole situation is just loaded with landmines.

Rey: Yeah, that’s — that’s not easy.

Chelsea: It’s worth it, though. For connor.

Rey: I can imagine he’d love to have his parents back together.

Chelsea: Adam and I have made it clear to him that won’t be happening.

Rey: I hope that’s true. I’d like for you to be able to look back on your life now, without adam, and see how much better you are without him.

Sharon: I’m happy for you both, that you want to embark on this together. But you have to understand that the adoption process can be long and difficult.

Mariah: We are aware.

Tessa: Which is why we wanted to start investigating it sooner rather than later.

Sharon: I think that’s very wise.

Mariah: And look, we know that it’s probably gonna be harder for us, considering we’re a same-sex couple, but you know what? We’re up for any obstacles they throw at us.

Noah: Hey, guys.

Sharon: Hey.

Tessa: Hi.

Mariah: What’s going on?

Noah: Want some good news?

Sharon: Absolutely.

Noah: I have the final artwork for tessa’s album cover right here.

Tessa: Fantastic.

Sharon: That’s great.

Mariah: How did it turn out?

Noah: Brilliant.

Mariah: Oh, and you’re not biased at all?

Noah: No, no, of course not. You guys want to see it?

Tessa: Um, [Clears throat] Actually, we were just in the middle of something.

Mariah: No, no, no. Go for it. I’ll be there in a second.

Tessa: Are you sure?

Mariah: Absolutely. Go.

Tessa: Okay.

Mariah: Alright. So tell me the truth. You’re worried about this, aren’t you? How did olay top expensive creams?

Lily: You know, from the beginning, I thought that your plan was outrageous.

Billy: Unorthodox.

Lily: But I was willing to go along with it, because I do believe that it’s justice for what adam and victor did to you. And I think you have a real shot at clearing your name. I mean, I was willing to play the aggrieved girlfriend because I love you and I believe in what you’re trying to do. But then victoria, she comes waltzing in here, she makes her demands. And your plan takes on a whole new dimension, and you don’t even discuss it with me.

Billy: Lily, she knows I’m lying. She holds the cards.

Lily: She wants you to keep putting on a public display of being a relapsing addict so that she can take control of newman media.

Billy: [ Sighs ] I’m trying to make this work for everyone.

Lily: No, no, you are at her mercy. Do you really think that she’s gonna give you control of a media company after you tried to stop her wedding? After what you tried to do to her husband? I mean, do you really think that you can trust her with anything?

Ashland: So billy has been faking the whole time.

Victoria: You don’t sound so surprised.

Ashland: I’m not. I mean, it’s exactly the kind of stunt he’d try to pull. Although I have to admit there’s a certain warped elegance to the whole thing.

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] Well, that’s one way to put it.

Ashland: Although now that you’ve uncovered the truth, the element of surprise is gone, right? The game is over.

Victoria: Unless I stay quiet, let it all play out. Let adam and newman media fall into the trap. A lot of things would have to go right for that to work.

Ashland: And even if it does, we have to admit that there’s a couple of things that might be quite damaging, including the fact that the article written about me is true.

Victoria: I think I might have found a way around that.

Ashland: Oh?

Victoria: Yes. I offered to keep quiet on one condition — when billy files suit against newman media, that he goes after them, making them ripe for takeover. Just like chanccomm.

Ashland: A takeover. By newman/locke.

Victoria: Have I ever told you how sexy you are when you read my mind?

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] Wanting to best adam, okay. But do you really think it’s wise to go up against your father?

Victoria: Well, I did it once before with cyaxares. Adam and my father, they won that round, but I don’t think my father ever liked the fact that I sold off our media division to chancellor industries. And I predict that once he gets over the initial shock of it all, I think he’ll admire me for it.

Ashland: Mm. With you manipulating billy to do it. And even if he wants to go forward with his plan, why would he want to hand newman media over to us?

Victoria: Billy wants us to put him in charge.

Ashland: Well, I hope you’re not considering that, after all that billy has tried to do to hurt us and discredit me, and he hates me for wanting to go along with victor and adam’s plan.

Victoria: I know, but listen to me. Nobody knows billy better than i do, and I promise you, he’s not gonna be a problem. And just think — think about what we’re gonna get out of it.

Ashland: So keep your enemies close, and take everything.

Victoria: Precisely.

Ashland: God, I love the way your mind works. I find it incredibly attractive.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Well, then I can’t wait till you to hear my ideas about improving corporate synergy.

Ashland: Mm, I love it when you say that. But before I get overwhelmed with my lustful thoughts, I have some good news of my own to share, some very good news.

Sharon: I’m behind your decision.

Mariah: But?

Sharon: It’s such a beautiful, hopeful thing to want to raise a child in a loving home. But the process of adoption —

Mariah: I know, it’s rough.

Sharon: It can be pretty daunting, put it that way. Sometimes things just don’t work out, and you’ve already experienced so much heartache.

Mariah: I am touched by your concern, truly. I know that you just want to protect me.

Sharon: Part of being a parent. That never goes away.

Mariah: Yeah, and I know things will be complicated and there are risks. But, I mean, that’s sort of life, isn’t it?

Sharon: It’s true.

Mariah: And as far as the obstacles, [Sighs] I mean, my motto is bring it on. That’s always been my way, and I’m really, really lucky to have a partner who is strong and independent and supportive, who is also just as scrappy as I am.

Sharon: Well, if you do decide to go through with this together, after you’ve done your research, you’re gonna need each other to lean on through all the waiting and the disappointments you’ll encounter, until you get to the other side.

Mariah: We’re ready.

Tessa: Wow, you weren’t kidding.

Noah: Oh, about being brilliant? No, no.

Tessa: Mm-hmm. I mean, I remember when you first told me about the idea. You described it to me and everything you envisioned. It’s all there.

Noah: Look what I had to work with. Everything you bring to the table — your passion, your fearlessness, how vulnerable you’re willing to be. And you put all that in your music. It’s one of the many reasons i adore you. As a friend, like a fanboy.

Mariah: Alright. The suspense is killing me. Let’s see this epic album cover.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Mariah: I don’t want to inflate your ego by telling you how talented and amazing you are.

Noah: But you’re going to anyway?

Mariah: Noah, this is truly incredible. You have done something so special, especially now that you took tessa’s enlarged eyeball out of it, like…

Noah: Yeah. Yeah. Okay, that was a joke, but thank you.

Mariah: But honestly, how hard could it have been? You have an ideal subject.

Noah: Yeah, I did.

Mariah: Alright, so, tessa, what do you think? Is it all you hoped for?

Tessa: I mean, yeah. As I told noah, I was blown away. Everything he envisioned, it’s — it’s all there.

Mariah: Okay, but I’m sure noah would want to get your unfiltered feedback, you know, about his work.

Noah: You know, there’s a step in the creative process when you spend so much time with something, you’ve put so much energy into it, your heart and soul, that you step back and you think like, “damn, I did that.” I don’t want to put tessa on the spot. I sent her an e-mail with the images attached, and I want her to live with it for a couple of days. There’s still time to change things, so… anyways, I am gonna take my fragile-yet-massive ego and go get ready for a meeting with adam. It was good seeing you two.

Mariah: I’ll see you soon. And again, fantastic work.

Noah: Thank you.

Mariah: Okay. What’s wrong? And don’t say nothing, because i can tell something is.

Tessa: I mean, I-I love — I love the album artwork. It looks amazing. It’s just that I feel — I feel kind of weird walking away from that important conversation with sharon. Do you think that she’s, like, not as excited about our decision to adopt a baby?

Chelsea: Adam is a good dad, and that’s all I can ask for, that we peacefully coexist and work together to do what’s best for our son. Adam has not always been the best role model, but he’s definitely making changes in his life.

Rey: Hmm. He certainly wants people to think so.

Chelsea: Well, there’s one thing I am certain of, and that’s that he loves his son. He’s proving it, and I’m grateful. I mean, he’s not like you, rey. He’s not constantly a good guy and always a great role model.

[ Both laugh ]

Rey: Yeah, I’d like to think that I would have been a good dad.

Chelsea: Is that off the table? Having kids?

Rey: You know, I think that time has passed for sharon and me. But I do love being a stepdad.

Chelsea: Well, faith has the best dad in the world, but she’s really lucky to have you in her life, too.

Rey: I really appreciate you saying that. Well, my order’s up.

Chelsea: So it is.

Rey: Well, if I don’t see you before then, I hope you have a happy new year.

Chelsea: You too, ray. May it be a good one for both of us.

Rey: Yeah.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

Nikki: To what do we owe the pleasure of this visit?

Ashland: We wanted to discuss plans for new year’s eve.

Victoria: But we also have some really good news to share, and we wanted to do it in person.

Victor: You do? Well, don’t keep us in suspense.

Ashland: I got the latest test results back, and they’re more encouraging than the last ones.

Nikki: So the treatment is working?

Ashland: Better than I ever could have hoped for. It seems to have stopped the cancer in its tracks.

Nikki: Oh, ashland, that is wonderful news. I’m so thrilled for you.

Victor: Very happy for you, ashland.

Ashland: Of course, it’s only one test result.

Victoria: Yes, but things are trending in the right direction, and that’s what counts, right?

Ashland: Exactly.

Victor: You know what that means, don’t you?

Ashland: Besides the obvious?

Victor: Well, that means you have to stop kicking back and smelling the roses.

Ashland: [ Laughs ]

Victor: It’s time to get out of the back room of newman/locke. You should put another chair into the boardroom, you know.

Ashland: Put the “power” back in “power couple.”

Victoria: That would be an answer to my prayers.

Ashland: [ Laughs ]

Adam: Well, well. Looks like the gang’s all here.

Ever notice how stiff clothes can feel rough on your skin?

Chloe: We have a lot to talk about.

Sally: We do?

Chloe: I just had an excellent meeting with chelsea about the direction we’re going to take the fashion platform in.

Sally: Great. Yeah, fill me in. I’m dying to hear.

Chloe: Well, chelsea’s triumphant return has the fashion world buzzing. I mean, who doesn’t love a good redemption story?

Sally: Right?

Chloe: We’ve been getting a ton of interview requests from all of the major trade publications wanting features. And naturally, I mean, they’re all wanting an exclusive.

Sally: Naturally.

Chloe: Anyway, it occurred to both chelsea and me that since we’re launching our own video platform, why are we giving away our biggest story? Hello?

[ Chuckles ] Earth to sally. Did you hear anything I just said?

Sally: Sure. Yeah, no, keep — keep going. I’m — I’m fascinated.

Sally: Oh, you’re just — you’re fake smiling and bobbing your head, but you’re really just tuning me out. What’s the problem? Are you feeling threatened by chelsea being your boss? Because you know it is all in writing now.

Sally: Not in the slightest.

Chloe: It’s your personal life. I know. I think I know what it is. You don’t have a date for new year’s eve. You know what? I have the perfect solution.

Sally: To what?

Chloe: Well, instead of just sitting at home, watching the ball drop, killing a bottle of wine, you’ll hang out with kevin and me.

Sally: No, chloe. I couldn’t possibly.

Chloe: Don’t worry, my mom’s gonna be watching the kids and we’re gonna have a fun night out with michael and lauren, and this will be a great opportunity for you to finally make nice with her after the whole wedding dress fiasco.

Sally: I’m sorry. I can’T.

Chloe: Of course you can. Don’t worry, kevin won’t mind.

Sally: This is really sweet of you, but I actually do have plans for that night.

Adam: Looks like I’m crashing the party. I just came by to tell you about some plans I had for newman media. Wanted to start the new year off with a bang.

Victor: [ Chuckles ] I suggest we table that conversation. Right now you join us for a drink.

Adam: Oh, no, I don’t want to intrude.

Victor: Well, we have something to celebrate.

Nikki: Yes, we just got some fabulous news. We’ll have ashland and victoria fill you in. Darling, can you help me with the champagne?

Victor: I certainly can. Okay.

Victoria: Ashland, he got his lab results back, and it appears that the treatment he received at the clinic in peru has been working.

Adam: That’s phenomenal. Very delighted for you both.

Victoria: Thank you. We’re elated about it.

[ Sighs ] Which is why it’s particularly disconcerting to see billy drinking at a bar in the middle of the day again.

Adam: Yeah, I’m sorry you had to go through that.

Victoria: Yes, well, thankfully the kids will be off to boarding school soon, so they won’t have to watch their father imploding.

Adam: It’s all too predictable.

Victoria: The way you say that, I hope that you’re not planning on exploiting this. Although I’m sure that you feel that billy has it coming after publishing that exposé on you.

Adam: I mean, billy’s not doing anything we haven’t seen him do before ad nauseum. It’s kind of grown tiresome. There’s not a whole lot to exploit.

Billy: Once victoria realized that I was faking, that was game over. Or at least it could have been. Now I’m just trying to salvage something, and this could be a win-win.

Lily: [ Scoffs ] Billy, if you believe that, you are hopelessly naive.

Billy: Come on, lily.

Lily: I cannot believe how easily you’re giving up on your plan and giving into victoria’s demands without even putting up a fight.

Billy: I’m trying to be realistic here, okay? I lost all my leverage. And let’s be honest, running a company with newman in the name, that’d be pretty satisfying, and it would drive victor and adam crazy.

Lily: Oh, okay, so now your goal is revenge.

Billy: No, I’m trying to roll with the punches.

Lily: Okay, you realize your best-case scenario here with everything working out has you working for your ex and her husband who has every reason to hold a grudge against you.

Billy: Yeah, I realize that, but I will say that we’ve all been able to raise johnny and katie together, so I think that we can do this, too. Look, victoria, she was talking tough earlier, okay? She’s trying to negotiate. I believe that she respects my business acumen.

Lily: Oh, my god, billy. She’s using you. She’s using you and you’re letting her do it. Once victoria has what she wants, she’S… okay, you know what? It doesn’t even matter. It doesn’t matter because your cover is blown with someone who has proven they cannot be trusted. You are all pawns to her — her father, her husband, her brother, you. You’re all pawns in her game to out-victor victor. And do you realize that for this to work, you now have to trick adam into doing something to allow him to get sued? And say what you want about him, but he’s not a fool. He clearly has no interest in your return-to-the-gutter act.

Billy: Tell me how you really feel.

Lily: Yeah, I will. So please tell me, what are you gonna do? Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

Mariah: My mom is concerned, but not in the way that you’re thinking. No, she’s not freaked out or anything. She just basically said what she said before, which is adoption is gonna be challenging.

Tessa: But we’re so strong, and we’re so in love.

Mariah: And we’re scrappers, which is exactly what I told her.

Tessa: And we’ve dealt with so much. We’ve overcome so much. We can do this, mariah. We can make a family.

Noah: Yeah, I should have it to you after the first of the year. Okay, thank you. Take care.

Sharon: Don’t forget this.

Noah: Thank you. I will see you at home.

Sharon: Okay. No, wait. How did mariah and tessa like your final cover design?

Noah: Can I fill you in later? I’m late for a meeting.

Sharon: Yeah.

Noah: Alright, bye.

Rey: Hey, man.

Noah: Good to see you.

Sharon: Hey.

Rey: Hurricane noah?

Sharon: Tell me about it.

Rey: Is there a problem?

Sharon: There’s just a lot going on with the kids today.

Rey: You want to talk about it, or would you rather i distract you?

Sharon: I’ll take option number two.

Rey: My pleasure.

Sharon: I like where this is headed.

Rey: Mm. You grab your things. I’m gonna have justine close everything up, then I’m gonna take my wife home.

Sharon: I’m all yours.

Rey: Uh-huh.

Chloe: What exactly are your plans? And with whom?

Sally: It is nothing big or even exciting.

Chloe: Is it a date? You might as well tell me. I’m not gonna give up.

Sally: No date. But I really appreciate the offer. It was a very sweet invitation.

Chloe: Well, this is me not being sweet. Who exactly are you not going on a date with on new year’s eve?

Sally: Chloe, I’m telling you, the evening that I have to look forward to would bore you to tears.

Billy: Look, we’re getting ahead of ourselves right now, okay? Victoria hasn’t agreed to anything.

Lily: I’m surprised you noticed.

Billy: Can we table this for now? Nothing’s gonna happen till after the new year. Can we just enjoy the holiday? Can we agree on that? Please?

[ Cellphone rings ]

Lily: Let me guess — victoria.

Billy: Hey, vick.

Victoria: I’m at the ranch. Adam is here. This act of yours is barely registering. He’s seen it all before. You’re gonna have to up your game.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Joss? What are you doing here? I’m taking a seminar. Are you taking it, too? Hell, no. No, I’m here trying to withdraw from the classes that I signed up for next semester. I doubt that, uh, pcu has a remote learning platform for students in spring ridge. Come in! Hi. You busy? I’m never too busy for you. Come on in.

[ Sighs ] Is everything okay? Yes, um, I’m fine. Uh, I’m here about curtis. Did something happen with curtis? No, no. I’m sorry. Really, I-it’s about marshall. It’s good to see you. This is a surprise. Did you use those P.I. Skills to track me down? Aunt stella told me where you were staying. Well, it’s, uh — it’s not very fancy. But it’ll do until I find a place of my own. Wait. You’re looking to find an apartment in town? Yeah, thought I’d stay and, uh, get to know my family. Tj and you and… does your coming here mean that that’s a possibility? Hmm. Aunt alexis? You looking for someone? Uh, yeah. Professor khan. I’ve signed up for the sociology of crime seminar. Me, too. I don’t get it. Why are you taking a class on crime? Well, I’m interested in the sociology aspect, and since I can’t practice law anymore, I was sort of toying with the idea of mediation or conflict resolution. Something law-adjacent. Well, that’s great. We could sit together. Cool. Did you use me, nina? Listen, I had no idea that scott was trying to find a way to get you on the stand, or that he even knew that you knew something. You have to believe me. I believe this is exactly what you wanted. This is what I wanted? The whole world to know about my relationship with mike in nixon falls? Are you crazy? I begged you to not say anything. See, scott — scott blindsided my father and the D.A. To inflict maximum damage by calling willow. You managed to evade the law and hurt my family at the same time. I wasn’t the one bent on revenge, michael. If you hadn’t pressed the llantano D.A. To arrest me, then none of this would have come out, and my relationship with so– mike… would have stayed a secret. Sonny: Carly, wait! Let me explain, okay?

[ Sighs ] Can you just listen to me? Listen to who? Sonny? Mike? Or someone else entirely? I’m your husband. Please tell me you’re not still sleeping with nina. Please. No, I didn’t sleep with nina, ever! Because you remembered your family before you could? Is that it? I remembered my family, and I came home, to you, where I belong! You fell in love with someone else. Where does that leave me?


So you think you can just… show up here and plant roots, just like that? Well, I, uh — I just started looking. I’m not sure how long it’s going to take. So you intend to play house here in port charles… after all this time. Where have you been? Everywhere and nowhere. I never stayed in one place very long. That’s it? That’s all you got for me? Curtis. Curtis, we keep going over this thing. I — I can’t give you an explanation that will satisfy you. All I can say is how ashamed I am of all the time I lost with you. That’s why I’m here. That’s why I’m staying. I want us to get to know each other. Oh, you want to get to know me now? Well, guess what. That works both ways. All those years that — that — t-that tommy and I grew up without a father, where were you? So, what’s involved in becoming a mediator? Do you have to go back to school or…? Well, that’s what I’m trying to figure out. Mm. So I thought if I just take a short three-week seminar during winter break, it might help me decide if I’m ready to be a student again. That’s valid. What about you, joss? Why are you taking classes on your winter break? Well, um, we’re reading professor khan’s book in my intro to sociology class, and it’s pretty great. So when I saw that she was giving a seminar, I didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity. Have you ever explored this concept I like to call “leisure”? I used to be pretty good at it before my dad fell under ava’s spell and my life turned into a complete dumpster fire. Okay! Everybody, take your seats. We have a lot to cover in very little time. I am professor khan, and this is sociology of crime. I am now passing around a sign-in sheet. Please make sure you sign it and get it back to me, otherwise you will not get credit for this lesson. Is there a problem? No, no. There’s no problem. Sorry, professor. Just sit. And be quiet. Maybe you might actually learn something. Don’t you dare try to turn this back on us! Michael didn’t come after you for revenge, nina. He wanted justice! What you did to his father was criminal! And, what’s worse, you came and went, in and out of our lives the whole time! You stood by and watched sonny’s family grieve him for months! That’s not just criminal, nina. It is cruel and selfish. I realize what I did to sonny’s family and to you was horrible. I’ve said it a million times. That’s why I stayed quiet, willow. Because I realized that sonny wasn’t telling anyone about our re– about mike and my relationship. Okay? It was over! The only reason it came out is because you overheard a private conversation, and I’m not gonna apologize for that! Hey. Not now! Not now, scott! You know, you miscalculated using willow like that. Threatening her on the stand and badgering her the way that you did? I will not forget that. I was defending my client. Oh, come on. You and I both know there’s no legal defense for the hell that nina put my family through. Well, you must have missed the part where the judge called your father back to the stand and he testified that he was not nina’s victim. So, you know… don’t blame me if dada was having a good time in nixon falls and he didn’t want to come home to his family.

[ Grunts ] Carly, we belo ng together.You know that, right? You fell — you fell in love with nina. I can’t believe I’m saying that. That w– that was nixon falls. I had amnesia. I wasn’t myself. Really? Yeah. Did you forget about your life as mike when you remembered you were sonny? No. No. Then why didn’t you tell me about nina? I-I was gonna tell you. Then jason died. I didn’t think it was the right time. I knew something was off. I knew something was wrong. And I thought it was me, sonny. I blamed myself because of everything that happened with jason. But you were lying to me! When I found out that nina knew you were alive — not from you, but from maxie — what did you do? “Let it go, carly. Just let it go.” Now I know why! You’re protecting nina! I didn’t want to lose you over a war with nina. I didn’t want to waste any more time with her. Nixon falls is done! It’s over! How can you stand there and say that to me? Because it’s the truth. Then you’re not just lying to me. You’re lying to yourself.


You can track the changes in society by tracking how the laws change in that society while it develops. Take, for instance, united states vs. Porter. Now, in this case, arthur porter was charged with assault for beating a man who broke into his home. And despite putting that man into the hospital, he was found not guilty because he was defending his property. This is — well, uh — excuse me? Nothing. Sorry. Carry on. Thank you. This is an example of property being valued over people. Mm. Not really. What, you — you know this case? Actually, I do. Uh, porter was defending his wife and child, so I could argue that porter was concerned for their well-being and safety, which was the deciding factor. Oh. You could. Are you telling me that marshall has an ulterior motive for getting back into curtis’ life?

[ Sighs ] I really don’t know. I-I hadn’t seen marshall in years, so I have no idea what kind of man he is now. Well, what kind of man

was he? Were you unhappy with him marrying your sister? No. No. Irene and marshall loved each other. That much, I do know. But marshall wasn’t always the easiest person to deal with. Running off from his family and letting them believe that he’s been dead for decades? That certainly fits with that description. But what concerns me is how curtis is dealing with it. I was with him earlier, and he told me something I never knew — how he and tommy would make up heroic stories about their dad when they were kids. Mm. So he painted his father as a hero. That’s not uncommon. And now that childhood fantasy is back from the dead. You know, stella, I get the sense that even with all curtis’ misgivings, he really does want to know his father. I know. But I’m worried the reality will crush curtis. Curtis, I know everything I say you think is lip service… but I am truly sorry that my sons — my sons — had to grow up without me.

Hhou s ce, or lack thereoatt means. Look, as far as kn, d itashe f (swords clashing) -had enough? -No… arthritis. Here. Aspercreme arthritis. Fu ll prescription-strength?Reduces inflammation? Thank the gods. Don’t thank them too soon.

Kick pain in the aspercreme. Most bladder leak pads were similar. Until always discreet invented a pad that protects differently. With two rapiddry layers. For strong protection, that’s always discreet. Question your protection. Try always discreet. This was a mistake. Son, don’t go. Let me tell you something. I don’t like carrying around all this anger any more than I liked growing up without a father. It’s like — but — y-you just don’t get it. I grew up lost. I didn’t have a man in my life to show me how to be a man, much less the man I wanted to be. But here you are. Yeah, but through a lot of hard knocks and stumbles along the way. But through the grace of god, I am here, no thanks to you. Curtis, don’t go. Curtis, please. Plea– I can’t change the past, man, but can you give me a chance to make things up to you now? Not unless you tell me where you’ve been all these years and what was more important than your family.

[ Exhales deeply ] Look, all I’m asking for are answers — clear answers with facts and dates. But if you can’t give that to me… don’t bother staying in port charles. Michael. Wait. Are you alright?

[ Sighs ] Scott’s threatening to file a complaint for assault. Did you actually punch him? Right in the face.

[ Sighs ] Michael. I know, I know, I know. It was — it was wildly inappropriate. I just let scott get under my skin, and I lost it. I ta– I talked to diane, and she already contacted him and cut a deal, citing harassment and provocation. Well, that’s one less thing to worry about. Oh, willow, I’m — I’m sorry D.A. Sheridan opened the door for scott by putting you on the stand. Wait. [ Exhales sharply ] Are you apologizing to me? No, I’m the one who kept nina’s secret. If I had told you what I heard between nina and your father, none of this would have happened. Okay. It’s — it’s not your fault. Okay? Nina manipulated you. I was trying to protect your parents’ marriage. I didn’t want to be the one to mess up things. And now I did anyway. Hey, hey, hey. Don’t — don’t — don’t blame yourself. This is all on scott and nina. I just hope the judge didn’t buy his tactics.

[ Sighs ] Hey, did my, uh — did my parents come back yet? No. I don’t know where they are. This is it. Judge has made his decision.

[ Door opens ] I wonder if that professor’s gonna write an addendum to her book. You really schooled her. I couldn’t help myself. I-I just take exception when people don’t state all the facts. I like facts. Well, you definitely made the lecture more interactive. It felt more like a debate, and I liked it. Professor khan: Miss davis. Ruh-roh. That’s you, correct? Yep, that’s me. May I have a word?

[ Sighs ] I realize that I overstepped. I just get really passionate. So I-I’m sorry I disrupted your lecture. You’re, um, alexis davis. The defense attorney. I recognize the name. I used to be a defense attorney. Well, I read your article in the law review on jury bias. You made some very interesting points.

[ Door closes ] Thank you. So how do you have time to take this seminar, and why would you want to? Well, I’m looking at a career change. My days in the courtroom are over. Oh, well, then I’m gonna cut right to the chase. You’re wasting our time being here. You do not belong in my class. You were always with me when I didn’t know who you were. I used to see you. And I would talk to you when… times were bad. That’s because we… belong together. You know that. You kept a part of yourself from me.

[ Exhales deeply ] Were you ever gonna tell me about nina and nixon falls, ever? Yeah. I wanted to tell you so many times. Then jason died and then… brando and sasha’s baby was in crisis. I wanted to tell you, and I’d get interrupted. I think you believe that you were gonna tell me the truth someday… but I don’T. I don’T. I think that was just a story you kept telling yourself to justify the secret. Meanwhile, you locked away your time with nina in this small place in your heart, and you — you kept telling me there was nothing wrong and there was nothing coming between us. Well, y-you keep putting nina between us. You’re gonna have to let that go, carly. You dodge every single time I ask you about nina. No, I don’T. No, I don’T. Yes, you do. I just now asked you. I don’t — I just now asked you if you fell in love with nina, and instead of answering, you told me you couldn’t remember me. I didn’t say — did I say that? Yes! I don’t rememb– and that’s not an answer, sonny. Yes, it is. I would not have looked at nina… if that blond woman in my dreams had turned around… …and I would have seen that beautiful face. I love you. You said that. What you haven’t said is how you feel about nina… right here, right now today.


if you’re worried about my interrupting again, I-I promise you, I-I can con– I can try to control myself. That’s not what I’m talking about at all. You should be teaching, ms. Davis. The students could really benefit from your passion for the law. And it’s clear that you’re not shy about public speaking. Teaching? Mm-hmm. Really? Uh — I happen to know that professor cardiff is retiring, so that means there might be an opening here at pcu. Maybe you could start off as an adjunct and work your way up. I never thought about teaching. Well, think about it. It could be just what you’re looking for. I hope my auntie didn’t go into one of her embarrassing stories about me, like when I was 6, you know, losing a tooth trying to ride my bike off the apartment-building front stoop.

[ Chuckles ] No. But I’d definitely like to hear that story another day. Right. So, uh, what brings you by? I just left from talking with marshall, and I needed to see your beautiful face. How did that go? That’s not why I’m here. This court is here to interpret and uphold the law, not mediate a personal dispute. Upon review of all documents and evidence, it is the court’s determination that the commonwealth has failed to prove that ms. Reeves’ actions met the legal definition of fraud. I’m dismissing all charges against nina reeves. This case is hereby dismissed.

[ Gavel bangs ] Bailiff: This court stands adjourned. All rise. I am so sorry, michael. This isn’t over. I’m sorry. I’m also stunned by judge milford’s ruling. I wouldn’t have brought the charges if I didn’t think there was a strong case for fraud. Ah, you made a strong argument. And I assure you elq will continue to support your campaign. I appreciate that. Ms. Tait, I am so sorry for calling you to the stand. If I had had any idea baldwin was gonna ambush you, I would have left you in peace. I’m just sorry scott was able to use my testimony to his advantage. Actually, it was mr. Corinthos’ testimony that was the deciding factor. What are you talking about? Well, once he said he didn’t consider himself a victim, it follows that, in his mind at least, no crime was committed. I wasn’t in the courtroom for that. It’s an interesting question of law. I wish I would have done better with it. Nina, what’s with all this business? You’re free as a bird. How did you know about my relationship with sonny? That’s what you pay me for. No. This is not what I wanted. You don’t think I’m angry…at nina, for letting scott pull that stunt? And? What are you — wha– I don’t know what — I asked — I asked you… how you felt about nina.

[ Sighs ] Sonny. Okay, okay, okay. Hold on. Oh, my god. You just gotta understand, you know? What it felt like to wake up in the woods… not knowing who I am… …alone, scared. Phyllis and lenny took me in. They gave me a job, an anchor. And then nina… when I see nina… I-in “mike,” I see her as mike’s friend, his confidant. But I also see… what she did to you… …and to my kids. It’s really — carly, it’s all jumbled up in here. Nina let me believe you were dead. And you still have feelings for her after everything she did? Come on. W– let’s go home. We’ll talk — I really need some time to think about this, sonny. What do you mean, time? I need… I need some time apart.


spencer: Success. The bursar’s office was still open. I’m de-enrolled. See? Things work out. What’s going on? Nina’s preliminary hearing was today, and I haven’t heard a word from anyone. Well, no news is good news. When has that ever been true? Look, fingers crossed, the judge will throw the book at nina reeves, bind her over for trial, and revoke her bail. But you’re not vengeful or anything. I hate nina. She is the worst kind of hypocrite. Mm-hmm. She pretends to be all sweet and sympathetic when all she really cares about is herself and what she wants. Damn. Why can’t you hate ava that way? Oh, i do hate ava that way. I will never forgive her for what she’s done to morgan. However, she is avery’s mom and trina’s mentor. So I have to suck it up and I have to coexist. However, I will never buy into ava’s B.S… and I will never think that she is some gracious lady. But I choose to keep the peace. And if you had come to me before you went off on your stalking kick, I would have told you the exact same thing. Yeah, I really wish I had come to you. You probably would have shot the stalking idea down in flames, and I wouldn’t be looking at 30 days in spring ridge. You’re gonna be okay. You’re stronger than you think you are. I hope so. In the meantime, while my freedom lasts, this trip should help ease any lingering tensions between you and me and cameron and trina and esme. It should really help us get to know each other better. I certainly hope so. Okay, I will send an introductory e-mail to the chairman of the department tomorrow morning. I know it’s the break, but she’s a workaholic. Mm, or maybe she’s just passionate about what she does. Oh, good. Use that approach. Listen. [ Sighs ] I kind of… like the idea of this. I’m interested. I-I-I might like teaching at pcu. I just wonder if I have the proper qualifications. Oh, certainly, especially if you start off as an adjunct. Who knows? They may even hire you full-time with your credentials. Look. You’re cited. You’re published. With your cv, all you need to do is ace the interview and pass the routine background check. No problem. Background check. Mm-hmm. Of course. Curtis came by to see me today. I figured he would. He had questions, so I told him to come and talk to you. But you didn’t tell him, did you? I saw him a little while ago. He would have surely mentioned it. He left…dissatisfied. Curtis is not gonna stop until he gets answers.

[ Chuckles ] I’m not surprised. Is that why you’re here? To warn me? I’m worried how this is gonna affect my relationship with him. Don’t worry about this, stella. I will never, ever tell curtis that you knew I wasn’t dead. You were like a hero to my sons. I don’t want to take that away from curtis, too. Mmm! Not that I’m objecting at all…

[ Chuckles ] …But you didn’t answer my question. Well, that’s because I don’t want to talk about marshall. I want to focus on you. Okay. That’s fine with me. I hope you are ready for tomorrow night because I have big plans for us on new year’s eve. Neither of my parents are answering their phones. I hope they’re alright.

[ Sighs ] They’re just — they’re probably going through it right now. I just want to let them know that, according to the judge, nina’s actions weren’t criminal at all. Michael. What are you going to do? I don’t know. But what I’m not gonna do is sit back and let nina get away with her crimes against my family. Listen, scott, I’m not gonna stick around for the paperwork. I’ve — I’ve gotta go. Listen. You could thank me, but not with just a check. I did my job. You’re not going to prison. So…you’re welcome. I can’t even think about that. I’m too worried about sonny. Carly, you don’t need time. I want — I want you. I want our family together. You know that. I know that nina still has a hold on you. No, she doesn’T. Sonny, look me in the eye and tell me nina means nothing to you. I don’t know what you want me to say. Listen.

[ Exhales sharply ] Stop. Stop. Look. W– we could still work this out. No, we can’T. Yes, we can. Do not come home tonight.

Nicole: Well, if anyone can do it, it’s you.

[Knocking on door]

[Emotional music]

Jack: Well, look who’s here.

Jennifer: Oh, aunt maggie, hi.

Maggie: Hello.

Jennifer: Oh, we missed you so much on christmas

Maggie: Oh, I’m so sorry that I couldn’t join you, but I wanted to stay close to victor.

Jennifer: Yes, of course. Is there any word on philip?

Maggie: No, I’m afraid not. But we’re doing our best to stay positive and– I noticed you took down the tree.

Jennifer: Yeah. We were up early, so we thought we would just pack it all up for next year. And this sweet angel, do you remember her?

Maggie: Oh. Yes. Oh, my goodness.

Jack: It was laura’s and, you know, when we heard about what happened to julie’s angel, my angel of a wife decided to give it right back to julie.

Maggie: What a lovely gesture.

Jennifer: Listen, I’m just so glad that– that marlena is okay and– oh, let me get you something to eat.

Maggie: No, no, really, really, I’m not here for that. I’d like to talk to you, jack.

Jack: Me? About what?

Maggie: Gwen.

Xander: Something could be really wrong.

Gwen: We don’t know that, 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, so–

Xander: You’re 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.

Gwen: Poor sarah. Stuck on a deserted island somewhere. Pining for you, I’m sure. I can’t let you find out. Because I would lose you.

Chad: I thought the kids were supposed to be doing that, cleaning up the puzzle.

Abigail: Yeah, well, it was obviously a rush job.

Chad: Yeah, now they’re on a playdate with jackson and rosie. I saw the nanny pick them up.

Abigail: Hmm, no wonder it’s so quiet around here.

Chad: I do miss hearing them laughing and playing. You know what I don’t miss? Is ej crowing about all his brilliant business decisions.

Abigail: Oh, come on, surely you miss his delightful company at dinner.

Chad: Not in the least. It has been downright peaceful and homey since he landed himself in jail on christmas eve. And a little bonus– it’s been an entire week since we had to listen to his stupid accent.

Abigail: [Laughs]

Ej: Oh, you don’t like my accent?

Sami: Lucas, we need to talk.

Lucas: All right, what is it? Is it your mom? Is she okay?

Sami: No, my mother is fine and devil-free.

Lucas: Well, then, what’s wrong?

Sami: I went to the police station. I went to see that guy jason smith, the son of a bitch who held me captive after I had been kidnapped.

Lucas: Well, that wasn’t a smart move. You need to stay clear of that guy.

Sami: After everything that I have been through, I deserve to look him in the face and make him tell me why he did it.

Lucas: And what did he say?

Sami: He said that you’re the one who hired him.

[Tense music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Lucas: Wait, wait, what, me? No, no, why would I hire someone to kidnap you?

Sami: You tell me.

Lucas: There’s nothing to tell, it’s insane.

Sami: Don’t try to deny it. Lucas, you’re the one who chloroformed me outside of rafe’s house, you dragged me to some cabin in wisconsin, and then you hired that animal to keep me there.

Lucas: Wait a minute, sami, listen to me, okay?

Sami: And then now you’re trying to blame ej? The hell’s the matter with you, lucas? How could you do something like that? What is wrong with you?

Lucas: Listen, I love you. I love you more than anybody I’ve ever loved in my life.

Sami: So you decided to keep me hostage in the middle of nowhere?

Lucas: I had to do it, I had to keep you away from ej.

Sami: Oh, my god.

Lucas: I never meant to hurt you.

Sami: Lucas, you are keeping me by myself away from everyone that I love and you thought that wasn’t gonna hurt me? I thought I was never gonna see my children again.

Lucas: I’m sorry, okay? I was desperate.

Sami: Well, rafe is on his way here now. And he’s gonna arrest you. And then you’re really gonna know what desperate feels like.

Lucas: Wait a minute, wait a minute. You and me, we had something really good, sami.

Sami: You and me? Lucas, there is no you and me. I want you out of my life forever. I hate you, lucas. I hate you. Lucas? Hello?

Lucas: What? I’m sorry, what’d you say?

Sami: Where did you just go? I told you that I went to see that jason guy and you totally checked out on me.

Chad: What are you doing here, ej?

Ej: I live here.

Chad: Yeah, last I heard you were arrested for kidnapping. Shouldn’t you be in a cage?

Abigail: Did sami drop the charges?

Ej: She didn’T. But the courts are backed up during the holidays and the judge finally got around to granting me bail.

Chad: Why would any judge grant you bail?

Ej: Isn’t it obvious?

Chad: You bribed him.

Ej: I was set free because I’m innocent. Not only are these kidnapping charges against me completely bogus, I was framed.

Chad: What are you talking about? Who would frame you?

Ej: Oh, there’s a long list of suspects. And at the top of it is you.

[Dramatic music]

One of the worst things about a cold sore

Abigail: That’s a ridiculous accusation. Why would chad set you up?

Ej: Why else? So he can run dimera.

Chad: I already run dimera.

Ej: We run dimera together– an arrangement that you detest. And so putting me in prison would pave the way for you to have the position all to yourself.

Chad: Yeah, but I don’t need to cook up some legal scheme to do it. I’ll just keep doing my job better than you.

Ej: Then perhaps your motive is more personal. I mean, correct me if I’m wrong, but you didn’t seem all too pleased that I cast myself as john black opposite abigail’s marlena.

Abigail: Do you really think this is about johnny’s movie, which might not even happen? Given everything that marlena just went through, why would anyone move forward making a movie about her being possessed?

Chad: Any more stupid theories, ej?

Ej: Well, damn it, somebody set me up. And there’s no shortage of other suspects.

Abigail: Like who?

Ej: Well, there’s our brother, jake, there’s rafe hernandez… and then there’s lucas horton.

Lucas: I’m sorry I just spaced out a little, I was, you know, thinking about my brother.

Sami: Oh, lucas, you must be so worried about him. Any sign of him?

Lucas: No, no, not since they found his leg. But, you know, getting back to what you were saying earlier, you know, you said that you went to see the guy who held you prisoner?

Sami: Yeah, yeah, I went to the police station and I saw him in jail. I thought if he was lying about ej being the one who hired him, he wouldn’t be able to just say that right to my face. But he stuck to his story.

Lucas: Well, you know, what do you expect? Ej’s been known to make irrational decisions from time to time, right?

Sami: I suppose.

Lucas: But now that you have proof about what your husband did, does it change the way you feel about him? Are you ready to give up on him now?

Nicole: Hey, father.

Eric: I’m sure you weren’t expecting this.

Nicole: Come in. Actually, I just read about it. Looks like you took your vows in the nick of time, huh?

Eric: I’m just glad I could be there for my mom when she needed me most.

Nicole: I’m glad marlena’s okay. But, you know, even if I hadn’t read about your return to the priesthood, it really wouldn’t surprise me because it is your true calling.

Eric: I spent a lot of time debating whether it was the right choice, but after I made it, I felt peace with it. Not that our marriage was the wrong choice.

Nicole: Our problems were not because of your devotion to god. Besides, I take great comfort in the fact that I ruined you for all other women.

Jack: So xander asked you to put in a good word for gwen.

Maggie: Well, I know it may seem insufficient considering everything that she’s done.

Jack: Willfully so.

Maggie: Look, I hate that gwen caused abigail so much pain. And I’m not here to make excuses for her. I came here because of xander. I care about him. And I can’t help but feel responsible for the broken heart that he suffered through.

Jennifer: So this is about sarah?

Maggie: Yes. My daughter. My daughter hurt him badly. I mean, honestly, I don’t understand why she did what she did. And I can’t defend it. She seemed like she loved him. But… if gwen reconciling with her father would make xander happy, and I can make that happen, then I suppose I would feel like I was repaying sarah’s debt.

Gwen: How do I do this? How do I get you off of the sarah track?

Xander: [Grunts] Morning.

Gwen: Morning.

Xander: [Sighs]

Gwen: Did you sleep all right?

Xander: Oh, like the dead. Yeah, I mean, this room, it cost a fortune but I can’t complain about the thread count.

Gwen: Yeah. Well, it’s a good thing that you’re rested because we’re probably gonna be up very late watching the ball drop and drinking lots and lots of champagne.

Xander: New year’s day. Time to let go of the old and embrace the new.

Gwen: I wholeheartedly agree.

Xander: So is that what you meant when you said you need to get me off the sarah track?

[Tense music]

As a professional bull-rider

Xander: So whenouay t with the old, scifically.U kn, at good si hla m all right? Not forever, just until all of this gets resolved.

Ej: And how long will that be? Damn it, chad, I’m innocent. Why the hell should i back away from dimera?

Chad: Did I not just explain it?

Ej: I won’t do it. I don’t like it.

Chad: Well, whether or not you like it is completely irrelevant. What is relevant is you need to do what’s best for the company and right now that is keeping a low profile. And me being the face of dimera.

Lucas: Are you seriously asking me why your husband didn’t kidnap you sooner?

Sami: I’m just saying it doesn’t make any sense. I mean, he had already busted me for cheating, you had just left, he had me all alone in the mansion. Why didn’t he chloroform me right there and then?

Lucas: There are plenty of reasons, I’m sure.

Sami: Such as?

Lucas: Well, off the top of my head, you know, maybe he didn’t decide to kidnap you until after you left.

Sami: You mean it was a spur of the moment idea?

Lucas: Well, you said yourself you were going to see gabi at rafe’s house. You know, to try to persuade her to let you back into the mansion. So that’s probably when ej started stewing. You know, showed up at her house and put the rag over your mouth and boom, lights out. Who else could it have been?

Gwen: Look, all I’m saying is that before maggie got sober, I’m sure that her addiction caused plenty of trust issues between her and sarah. I’m sure it damaged their relationship unbeknownst to her.

Xander: I mean, I’ve never seen anything like what you’re describing. They’ve always been very close and maggie’s been a good friend to me–and you.

Gwen: What has she done for me?

Xander: I told you. She agreed to put in a good word with jack.

Gwen: And apparently that was an epic fail, wasn’t it? Unless I missed the note that he left at the front desk? “Oh, dear gwen, all is forgiven. Love, dad.”

Xander: Well, to be fair, maggie never actually told me how that went. Maybe I should go and talk to her, yeah?

Gwen: So you can ask her about sarah?

Xander: Yeah. Look… the sooner I figure out what’s going on, the sooner you and I can… let go of the old and embrace the new.

Maggie: Well, it was lovely seeing you both.

Jennifer: Yes, aunt maggie. I love you so much. Give our best to victor. We’ll be praying for you guys.

Maggie: Thank you. Thank you.

Jack: Happy new year, maggie.

Maggie: Oh, thank you, jack. Same to you. Bye.

Jack: Bye-bye.

Maggie: Take care.

Jennifer: Yeah. Love you.

Maggie: Love you.

Jennifer: Wow. That was, uh, unexpected.

Jack: Maggie going to bat for gwen? I’ll say.

Jennifer: Did it work? I mean, jack, I know that there’s issues with gwen but she is your daughter, you can’t just write her off.

Jack: Write her off? You make it sound so final.

Jennifer: And I do agree with my aunt maggie. The holidays are really a time for families to come together. But I also understand it’s a really big decision, so I want you to know that I support you no matter what.

Jack: The question is… will abigail?

Chad: Well, are you gonna do the right thing for dimera? Ej, come on!

Ej: Fine, fine! I’ll keep a low profile, for now. I’ll work behind the scenes.

Chad: Okay, good. Well, I’m glad you’re on board.

Ej: For now. But make no mistake, I have no intention of slinking off into the shadows. As soon as I clear my name, I’ll be back behind my desk.

Chad: I am sure you will. But for now, I’m gonna have to go into the office and update shin.

Abigail: Okay. I’m gonna come with you. I want to stop by my parents’.

Chad: Ej… happy new year.

Ej: [Sighs]

Lucas: Ej did this, sami. I know you don’t want to think about it, I know you don’t belie it, but he did the motive and the means.

[Phone rings]

Sami: It’s ej.

Lucas: What are you doing? Don’t get it.

Sami: Well, I– ej, I thought you were in jail.

Ej: I was just released on bail. It’s good to hear your voice, samantha.

Sami: Why are you calling me?

Ej: I need to see you. Can you come by the house?

Sami: I’ll be right there.

[Line disconnects]

Lucas: Be right where? Where are you going? Don’T. He’s gonna feed you a bunch of lies, you know it.

Sami: I just want to hear what he has to say.

Lucas: She doesn’t believe that ej’s guilty. I gotta put the final nail in the coffin. But how? Ah. Bingo.

Only daisy cottage cheese will do

Jack: How do you think abigail will feel about me reconciling with gwen?

Jennifer: I have no idea, jack. And the only person who can answer that question is abigail.

Abigail: Well, then it’s a good thing I’m here. Hi.

Jack: Hey, sweetheart, hi.

Abigail: Hi, what’d you want to ask me?

Jennifer: Uh–

[Phone rings] Oh, excuse me. Sorry. I have to take this. Hello?

Jack: Uh, well, actually, I– I am the one with the question and I have to tell you right now, it is not an easy one.

Abigail: Well, then I’m guessing it’s about gwen.

Jack: Yes, it is. I am thinking of reconciling with gwen. But, honey, I know how much she has hurt you. I know. And I’m not gonna do anything until you tell me how you feel about it.

Xander: Henderson let me in.

Maggie: Hello. I’m really glad you’re here. I just came from talking to jack. Put that good word in that you asked me to.

Xander: Thank you. Thank you, maggie.

Maggie: Listen, I apologize for not doing it sooner.

Xander: It’s no worries. How did he respond?

Maggie: Best to give it some time, okay? Yeah.

Xander: Regardless of the outcome, I’m very appreciative of the effort. And I’m sure gwen will be too.

Maggie: Yeah.

Xander: But I’m actually here about sarah.

Maggie: Sarah? Why?

Xander: I ran into rex the other day and he told me they’re not together anymore.

Maggie: What? They’re not?

Xander: In fact, he told me they never were. They didn’t even leave town together.

Maggie: Wait a minute, I can’t believe this.

Xander: That’s why I wanted to talk to you. Didn’t you tell me that you were receiving texts from sarah saying how happy she was overseas with rex?

Maggie: Yes, I had been, but–hmm. You know, I haven’t heard from her in quite a while.

Xander: She didn’t text you on christmas?

Maggie: No. I texted her, but I didn’t get a reply. I just– wow, I just assumed that she was busy or that she was someplace where there was no cell signal. But now, I mean– oh, xander, this is– this is very strange. And this is very worrisome. Oh, god. [Breathes sharply] What could’ve happened? Why didn’t sarah tell me?

Ej: You can do this, ej. Just tell samantha the truth. She loves you. She’ll believe you.

[Doorbell rings]

Ej: Nicole!

Nicole: Don’t be too excited.

Ej: Sorry, I–

Nicole: You were expecting someone else.

Ej: I was just surprised, that’s all.

Nicole: I saw on the news that you made bail so I just wanted to come by and see how you were doing.

Ej: Very well now that I’m on the road to clearing my name.

Sami: What the hell is she doing here?

Chad: Don’t worry, shin, I’ve made it very clear that ej needs to stay away from dimera. Well, he’s not happy about it, but he understands it’s the right thing to do. Absolutely. I actually have a meeting with the pr team here in a few minutes. So… yes, I’ll keep you updated. Great. Thanks.

[Suspenseful music]

Okay, we’re not gonna ask for

Abigail: You’re right, gwen did hurt me. And, honestly, you know, I’d be happy if I never saw her again. But if I forbid you from seeing her, then that hurts you and I don’t want to do that. So if you want to rebuild your relationship with gwen, I’m not gonna get in your way.

Jennifer: How’s it going over here?

Jack: Well, my very gracious and understanding daughter has given me her blessing to try to repair my relationship with her sister.

Jennifer: You really okay with that, honey?

Abigail: I mean, we’re moving into a new year and I just wanna do whatever I can to make it a really good one for us.

Jennifer: Amen to that.

Jack: Amen to that. Well, I’ll tell you what, I’m gonna try and give her a call right now. And we’ll just see what we can do, okay?

Jennifer: Wait, wait, jack, but before you do that… I have some really big news that is going to have a big impact on all of our lives.

Xander: Look, why don’t you try and call sarah now, see if you can get to the bottom of it?

Maggie: Yeah, I’ll try, yes, but, you know, in the last couple of weeks it’s just gone to voicemail.

[Phone beeps]

[Line ringing] Oh. Come on.

Automated voice: We’re sorry, the number you have reached is not in service.

Xander: What? What happened?

Automated voice: Try your call again.

Maggie: Oh, my god.

Xander: Maggie, what? I can tell she didn’t answer, but why didn’t you leave a message?

Maggie: Because it, um… it didn’t go to voicemail. I got a recording. It said, “this number is no longer in service.”

Ej: Nicole just stopped by to see how I was doing.

Nicole: Should’ve locked the door behind me. Kept all the riffraff out.

Sami: Will you please ask her to leave?

Ej: Nicole can hear what I have to say. Which is I’m not the one who kidnapped you, samantha. I was framed.

Sami: Really? Who do you think framed you?

Ej: Isn’t it obvious? It was your ex-husband, lucas.

Sami: [Scoffs]

Lucas: Sorry, mom, if you didn’t want me using your password, you shouldn’t have written it down in your planner. I have no choice, I have to do this. It’s the only way I can make sure that ej goes down for sami’s kidnapping.

Chad: Of course, I forget everything that I– lucas? What are you doing in here?

Brooke: Oh, it’s a bottle of the non-alcoholic, bubbly champagne. I tried some over at eric’s on christmas eve, and it was really good! Tastes just like the real thing. So I was looking forward to having a glass or two. Liz, you nerd, cough if you’re in here!

Carter: So zende asked you for a favor.

Quinn: You wanted me to design a ring. You know, one that no woman could refuse.

Carter: An engagement ring?

Quinn: Yeah, but you have to pretend you’re surprised when paris walks in and she starts flashing it around, you know, because I don’t want to be the one that let the cat out of the bag.

Carter: Well, he hasn’t proposed yet.

Quinn: No, no. But zende is going to propose to paris tonight.

Zende: A toast to new adventures with the one you love.

Steffy: I’m excited for tonight. It’s the family celebration I was hoping christmas eve would be.

Finn: I thought it was great.

Steffy: Yeah, yeah, it was. It was really nice. I mean, it was hazel’s first christmas. Kelly’s letter to santa, the cookie as it was all magical. I just… wish it was us. I’m sorry, I know sheila is your birth mother, but you got to admit it was bizarre.

Finn: Yeah, it was a little tense, I know.

Steffy: Hey, I’m just glad we’re able to celebrate tonight. And hopefully that means we won’t see sheila for a very long time.

Sheila: Just a little something, just a gift.

Taylor: No, sheila, you shouldn’t–

Sheila: It’s a cactus. It’s a cactus, symbolic…

Taylor: Of you?

Sheila: I guess so.

Taylor: Very resilient. Survive on almost nothing. And they know how to protect themselves.

Sheila: Sometimes they even flower.

Taylor: Thank you.

Sheila: I’m going to get out of here. I know you’re probably really busy, been invited to a million parties tonight and… probably gonna just go home and see the kids and the grandkids. I know that’s what I would do. Who knows? Maybe ridge will come by and it’ll just be a perfect family celebration.

Taylor: Yeah, well, that’s not going to happen.

Sheila: Why, brooke won’t let rich come see you?

Taylor: No, no. Ridge is out of town. He’s not going to spend the evening with either of his families.

Liam: Those kids cannot get enough of that movie. There’s just something about large, colorful canines, I guess. I don’t know.

Hope: Mom, is that okay? I mean, they’ve basically taken over your entire bedroom.

Brooke: Yes, of course! I love having them here. It was so nice to be able to celebrate this new year’s with you. You know, bringing in a new year together once again.

Liam: Yeah.

Brooke: And having you guys so close! Oh, I’m getting a little sentimental.

Hope: Oh, no, it’s okay! I mean, that happens on new year’s eve.

Liam: Yeah.

Hope: Yeah!

Brooke: Would you like me to pour you one?

Hope: Ohm no, I’m okay, but thank you. I think one glass of the real stuff is good enough for me.

Liam: Yeah, yeah.

Brooke: Well, you should try some of mine because this non-alcoholic, bubbly is great. Like the real thing.

Liam: Well, good.

Brooke: You can have as much as you want.

[Knocks]

Deacon: Hello, hello.

Hope: Dad! Oh, my gosh! Join the party! Sensei.

[Laughing]

Deacon: Brooke, thank you so much for inviting me. So where are the kids?

Liam: They’re upstairs watching a movie.

Deacon: Okay, and ridge?

Brooke: He’s on his way home from a business trip. He should be here later.

Deacon: I see you got your bottle of champagne from il giardino.

Brooke: Oh, I did. Thank you.

Hope: Should we toast? Dad you want to?

Deacon: What the hell? I suppose one won’t hurt.

Hope: Ah, I would offer to make a toast, but I feel like I will probably get emotional, and I don’t want to ruin my makeup so… uh, liam? Do you want to help out with that?

Liam: Yeah, sure. Yeah. Okay. Uh, uh… here’s to a happy, healthy, peaceful future for all of us.

Hope: Oh!

Deacon: Cheers.

Together: Cheers women choose renew life probiotics

Paris: You’ve been a little quiet.

Zende: Have I?

Paris: And a little distracted.

Zende: Um… because of you. You’re so beautiful. Actually, there is something small I need to take care of. Can you, um, would you excuse me for a minute?

Paris: Sure.

Taylor: Oh, sheila, I don’t mean to be rude, but thank you for coming by.

Sheila: No, no, no. It’s all right. It’s all right. I just, I wanted to thank you again. You, you extended an olive branch. Good things happen to good people, taylor. You’ll see.

Deacon: It was fantastic.

Hope: Well, we called it: The kids are fast asleep, so I think that means it is time to go.

Deacon: Okay.

Brooke: What? Wait! It’s so early.

Hope: Well, you know, the kids have so much fun. We wore ’em out.

Brooke: Okay! Uh, well, you know what? I would like to make a toast first before everybody leaves. Ah… to better days ahead, for all of us. And I like what you said about health and patience. What was it?

Liam: Peace.

Brooke: Peace! I like that. Yeah, I second that. May we all have a wonderful, happy and healthy future together.

Hope: Here-here.

All: Cheers.

[Glasses clink]

Hope: Oh– ooh! Excuse me!

Brooke: Mmm!

Hope: Alright! Well, mom, thank you for a wonderful party. And, dad, I’m so happy you could join us.

Deacon: Me too, baby.

Hope: I’ll see you.

Deacon: Okay. Bye.

Liam: Alright, let’s grab those kids. Outta here.

Hope: Got it all?

Deacon: I got to thank you again. Thank you so much for letting me be here and just giving me a second chance, letting me be back in hope’s life. You know, brooke, you could have shut me down. You could have fed her doubts. Instead, you saw that I was really trying and you gave me the support I needed to turn my life around. I’m a new man. And I’m so grateful to you. I’ve lost count of how many asthma attacks I’ve had.

Quinn: Zendaya’s going to

propose to paris tonight.

Carter: It’s not what she wants! Not at all.

[Phone pad clicking] So where were we?

[Message sending beep]

[Phone chirps]

[Zende sighs]

Zende: So, where were we?

Paris: That is a good question.

Zende: You’re unlike anyone I’ve ever known. My life hasn’t been the same since I met you. I feel so incredibly lucky to have you in it. That’s why I want you in my future forever.

Taylor: Hi.

Steffy: Hi! The kids are napping, so if you need to transition from like doctor mode to grandma mode, go for it.

Taylor: Oh, thank you. You know, I thought it was going to be really hard to get my practice up and running, but I’m off to a really quick start.

Finn: What’s that? A cactus?

Taylor: Yes, it’s a thank you gift.

Steffy: Wow, your patients really missed you.

Taylor: No, it’s not, actually– it’s not from a patient. I had a surprise visitor today. Sheila came to see me. She wanted to thank me again for inviting her to the house for christmas eve.

Sheila: Non-alcoholic. And the real thing. It tastes almost identical. All I had to do was switch the labels. You wanted a little bubbly for the holidays, brooke? Happy new year…

[Door clicks]

Brooke: Oh, ridge!

Deacon: Oh. I, uh, I forgot my phone.

Brooke: I haven’t seen it.

Deacon: I was right over there swapping photos of beth. I see it right there. Yeah.

Brooke: Oh.

Deacon: It’s not like me to be forgetful, you know. I must’ve gotten a little buzzed tonight. Probably should have had some of that non-alcoholic champagne your drinking. Ridge isn’t home?

Brooke: No, no.

Deacon: You look beautiful in that. Ridge is lucky guy.

Brooke: Thank you. Goodnight, deacon.

Deacon: Goodnight.

[Phone ringing]

Brooke: Oh, r–

[Chuckles] Ah! Ridge?

[Laughs] Did you land? Are you coming home?

Ridge: Hey, honey. I’m calling with news, and it’s not good news.

Brooke: You sound disappointed.

Ridge: I am disappointed. A mechanical problem, and they fixed it and just put it behind, and now the storm is coming, and we’re grounded.

Brooke: Grounded? But you promised me that you would be here. I was really looking forward to spending this evening with you. We need this time together. I love you so much.

Ridge: I know we do. And I’m– I’m sorry. And if something changes, I will let you know. But it doesn’t look like I’m going to be there for new year’S. I’m sorry.

Brooke: So I’m going to be alone on new year’s eve?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Billy: [ Sighs ] Andy, can I get another one, please?

[ Groans ] Oh, hi. What are you doing here? I thought you were going to madison to take the kids to go see “the nutcracker.”

Victoria: Well, we rescheduled it because one of their friends from school is having a party, and I wanted them to have a chance to say goodbye before they left.

Billy: That’s good. That’s probably the right decision.

Victoria: Mm-hmm.

Billy: What, they’re not here with you, are they?

Victoria: Thankfully, no. They’re with hannah, so they don’t have to see you like this.

Billy: What, like, how, victoria? I’m fine.

Victoria: Drinking alone in the middle of the afternoon, really?

Billy: I mean, what’s the big deal? I’m having something stronger than a club soda while the sun’s out.

Victoria: Does lily know where you are? Because I doubt she’d be okay with this.

Billy: Well, that doesn’t concern you. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Victoria: I wish that i didn’t know what it feels like to be in her shoes.

Lily: Thank you.

Nate: Lily.

Lily: Hey.

Nate: Hi.

Lily: Here for a midday pick-me-up, as well?

Nate: Actually, I am headed upstairs to help elena start packing for the big move.

Lily: Aw, I’m so happy you guys are moving in together.

Nate: We are, too. Thank you.

Lily: Yeah, of course. Yeah. It seems like devon and amanda are really happy living together, as well, so guess everything worked out, right? Romantically, at least. But you and devon seemed to be getting along well on christmas.

Nate: Yeah, yeah, we’re good. I saw him earlier. We talked about dom and how much he missed having him around since abby and chance got back.

Lily: Yeah, I know. I noticed that, too. Seems like he’s grown really attached to the baby, but who can blame him? He’s so adorable.

Nate: I told him to talk to abby and chance about his feelings, maybe revisit their original arrangement. But devon didn’t seem sold on the idea, so not sure he’ll follow through.

Lily: Well, I think it might be better if he didn’T.

Devon: Hey.

Abby: All of my favorite guys in one room. This is amazing. How’s it going?

Chance: Better now. I mean, devon’s got some serious baby-whispering skills, I’ll tell you.

Abby: Well, we lucked out with the timing of your visit.

[ Chuckles ]

Devon: Well, you know i always love to spend time with this little guy. I do. But I actually came by ’cause i wanted to discuss something with the two of you.

Phyllis: Hey. Are you back on work mode after the holiday?

Nick: Just a quick meeting.

Phyllis: Ah.

Nick: I see you in boss mode, too.

Phyllis: No, I mean, hotels don’t close during this time, so, anyway, I didn’t have any time off. That was fun, our video chat with summer and the gang.

Nick: Yeah, well, it was pretty clear harrison liked your christmas gift the best.

Phyllis: Oh, no. You know, it’s not a contest. But if it were, I’d win.

Nick: I’m actually wearing the gift you gave me right now.

Phyllis: I know. I smelled your essence. So don’t expect a birthday gift from me. I didn’t plan that far in advance.

Nick: I will lower my expectations, yeah. Besides, I gave myself the best birthday gift ever. I’m gonna go and see summer.

Phyllis: Oh, wow. That’s fun.

Nick: You’re upset you didn’t think about it first, right?

Phyllis: Well, no, of course not. I mean…aww, kind of. I would just love to see her, that’s all. But have so much fun. Really, enjoy your time with summer. Have a ball.

Billy: Ahh. Thank you, andy. Let’s not pretend that this isn’t exactly what you wanted, victoria.

Victoria: You think I want to see you self-destruct?

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: You think I like sending our kids away to boarding school?

Billy: Okay —

Victoria: Do you know how hard it is to go to these lengths trying to protect them from seeing their father fall apart?

Billy: You could’ve stopped this whole thing. You knew exactly what adam and victor were doing. You basically gave them the green light. Like the red queen — “off with his head.”

Victoria: When are you gonna stop blaming other people for your problems, billy? You think my dad and adam drove you here? They didn’t force you to order that drink, did they?

Billy: No, they didn’t, but they sure as hell —

Victoria: I’ve heard enough. You know what? You don’t need this anymore.

Billy: Hey. Wow, wow, wow. Look who caused a mess now. Give me that.

Victoria: This is apple juice. What are you doing? You want me to think that you’ve been drinking too much? What — what are you up to, billy?

These are the faces

Billy: What’s the big deal? It’s a little early to have a scotch, even for me.

Victoria: You’re a grown man drinking apple juice at a bar. It’s not normal, billy.

Billy: Well, would you buy the fact that I, um, you know, bought it for johnny and katie and I acquired a taste for it?

Victoria: No. No, I wouldn’t buy that. It’s not plausible. Obviously, you ordered that because it looks a lot like scotch.

Billy: You’re the drink detective now?

Victoria: Why do you want me to think the worst of you? Are you trying to make me feel guilty because you lost your job? Is that what’s going on here? Because, if so, that’s the most passive-aggressive thing that I’ve ever witnessed. Not to mention it’s completely ineffective.

Billy: Well, you’re onto something there. It’s damn near impossible to get a newman to feel guilty about anything. It’s like the empathy gene skipped a few generations.

Victoria: That’s so nice. It must be the apple juice talking.

Billy: Yeah.

Victoria: Why don’t we get back to you? You’re trying to punish me or something. Is that why you’re playing the victim?

Billy: I’ve had enough fun for today, victoria. I’ll see you around.

Nick: This sudden impulse to go to italy is like a new year’s resolution/birthday gift to myself, you know? I guess I’m trying to be more spontaneous.

Phyllis: Ah. Well, that’s a downside about having your birthday on new year’s eve. Forces you to think. It’s a real thinker, you know? You’re examining your life choices and you’re thinking, “what the hell am I doing with my life?” You know? Um… not that you’re doing that. I’m sorry, I was just thinking out loud. Well, I admire that…you’re spontaneous — trying to be more spontaneous. That you’re examining your life choices. I mean, I could think of worse places to do that than milan with our daughter. Have so much fun, really. And if you need anything from over here, just say the word.

Nick: Well, I, uh — i appreciate it, but I’m not really your problem anymore.

Phyllis: Okay. Alright. Well, that is true. Have a good time.

Nick: Thank you.

Phyllis: And happy new year.

Nick: You too.

Nate: You think I made a mistake advising devon to talk to abby and chance?

Lily: Well, look, I know that your heart’s in the right place, but having been on the other side of this situation, you know, where I had mac help me bring the twins into the world, I just — I know how sensitive it can be.

Nate: Mm. Maybe I should have told him to talk to you instead of throwing my two cents in about something that’s way out of my personal experience.

Lily: No, it’s fine. I mean, look, new parents are just overwhelmed with gratitude and joy and relief that they finally have, you know, their little miracles in the world. But there’s also a lot of doubt, too. I mean, when I was gonna have the twins, you know, I wasn’t sure if I was ready to be a parent. So, if devon comes to them and, you know, says something, it might make them feel like he’s implying he can do a better job.

Nate: No, I don’t think he would frame it like that.

Lily: Well, no, I’m just saying, from abby and chance’s perspective.

Nate: Listen, I have the utmost respect for the both of them, but I wonder if abby has looked at it from devon’s perspective. I mean, she left dom with him instead of her parents or siblings while she searched for chance. That right there told him that he was the one most equipped to take care of that baby.

Lily: Yeah, but she was going through a crisis. I mean, I doubt she thought things through.

Nate: Now they have to deal with the repercussions. I just hope they can resolve this and everyone comes out happy.

Lily: Well, look, they’re all friends, they all love dominic. I’m sure they’ll figure something out that everyone is comfortable with, so… anyway, I have to go and chat with my little babies, so I’ll see you later. And please tell elena I said hi.

Nate: Yes, will do.

Lily: Okay, bye.

Nate: Bye-bye. Hmm.

Abby: Well, dominic is down for his nap, so what’s up?

Devon: Nice. How about we all take a seat?

Abby: Okay.

Devon: I just want to start off by saying what an incredible experience this has been so far, being dominic’s godfather and even being able to watch him while you guys were out of town.

Chance: Yeah, yeah, well, we are so grateful that we have you to rely on, really. It means the world to us.

Devon: It means the world to me to be able to help you guys out, and I also want to tell you just how much I appreciate you guys for being so open about wanting dominic to know who I am and just for making me feel so welcome, being here.

Abby: Of course. You’re part of our family. And the bond that you share with our son is special and important.

Devon: I-I couldn’t agree more. Which is why I wanted to talk to you guys about amending our agreement. I just heard something amazing!

Chance: I’m sorry, I — I may have missed something here. You were just saying how well things were going.

Devon: They are, they are. This — this whole experience has been — it’s been more than I ever anticipated. Like, I — I obviously planned on caring about dominic and feeling a bond with him because of our biological connection, you know? But so much has happened that none of us could have predicted. Like, I-I never imagined that i would be a part of dominic’s delivery, you know, and his birth, or that I would be the first person to hold him, you know, in his life. It was a special moment. The moment became probably one of the most significant moments in my life.

Abby: Well, it was amazing to witness.

Devon: And I also — I never expected you to leave him with me the way you did, you know? I’m happy that you did because i loved every second of it, and i feel like that time that we had together really cemented our bond, and it’s got me thinking a lot about the arrangement that we have. And I think that that arrangement makes sense for the idea that I had of the kind of relationship I was gonna have with dominic, like a family friend, someone who, you know, comes over for the holidays or for birthdays and graduations and stuff like that. But it’s turned into a whole lot more for me. I’m hoping that we can all agree that that’s a good thing for dominic, too. I guess what I’m trying to ask you guys is if you would consider amending this agreement that we have to better reflect how I’m feeling.

Chance: What would you like to change?

Devon: I mean, for starters, I would just like to spend more time with dominic.

Abby: Well, you know you’re always able to come over here and visit whenever you’d like.

Devon: I do. I was thinking, though, more in terms of — of time, you know, scheduled for just the two of us, where we can plan it out and we can, you know, look forward to it. I was even thinking, too, i mean, he can — he can have his own room in my place for when he stays over.

Abby: Okay. [ Sighs ] Correct me if I’m wrong, but it sounds like you’re asking for shared custody.

Devon: I don’t think I would use those words — not “custody” — but, practically speaking, yeah, that’s what I’m talking about.

Lily: Well, I’m so glad you guys are having fun. I’m really jealous of your surf and sand. But have a good time, okay? And call me tomorrow. Okay, love you. Bye. Kids are having a good time with their dad in hawaii.

Billy: That’s great.

Lily: How are you? Uh-oh, what happened?

Billy: I might’ve thrown a wrench into the plan.

[ Sighs ] I ran into victoria at society, and I was, you know, “drunk billy in despair,” and she started asking me questions about why I was drinking during the day, and she — she grabbed my drink from me. She figured out it was apple juice, and she started to question me again and I didn’t really have an answer for her, you know? I was caught off guard and i didn’t have a cover story in the moment.

Lily: And you think she’s not gonna be able to let it go?

Billy: She’s either gonna figure out what I’m doing or she’s gonna talk to someone. And if she goes to jack, he’s gonna tell her the truth.

Lily: You know if she tells nikki, nikki for sure is gonna tell victor.

Billy: This isn’t good. This isn’t good, damn it. I mean, we were this close to tricking adam. I just hope that I didn’t push it too far. I mean, all of this could be for nothing now. And I know you probably wouldn’t mind if that happened.

Lily: [ Sighs ] I mean, look, it’s no surprise that I don’t love watching you pretend to fall apart, but i understand how important it is for you to redeem yourself publicly. But you might have to find another way.

Billy: Or we figure out a way to keep victoria quiet.

Lily: I mean, do you really think that’s possible? You’re not exactly her favorite person since you brought gaines to her wedding.

Billy: That’s for sure.

[ Sighs ] But I got to try. (Vo) at dog chow we believe helping dogs live their best life…

Abby: I’m sorry, I guess I’m just a bit confused. Did we do something to make you feel left out or like you weren’t included? I mean, I can’t think of a single instance of that happening. I mean, you always said that you felt very welcome here. I mean, you’ve been included in everything in dominic’s life.

Devon: 100%, I do. I always have, and, guys, please, don’t — don’t think this is about anything you’ve done. It’s not that. This is only about me wanting to spend more time with dominic, honestly. ‘Cause I — I’ve been thinking a lot lately myself about my history with father figures, and, you know, I didn’t have one in my life until I met neil. And I didn’t know my biological father until much later in life. And I just — I know how important those relationships are to kids and also, I mean, on top of everything, we don’t know what the future holds.

Chance: What do you mean you don’t know what the future holds? What do you think might happen in the future?

Devon: Well, I’m not — I’m not worried that something’s gonna happen, but I think that if this last year has taught us anything, it’s that life is very unpredictable. And I just want dominic to know that he can always count on me, and not as a father. I don’t want to take that role from you. I want to make that very clear. I just want to be somebody that loves him and supports him, that’s it.

Abby: Isn’t that already happening? I mean, as little as dominic is, I can still tell that he loves and trusts you.

Devon: Absolutely, and i thank you for saying that, which is why I felt so confident to come over and — and ask you guys if we could put something in writing.

Abby: [ Sighs, chuckles ] Wow.

Chance: Listen, I get where you’re coming from.

Devon: Thanks.

Chance: I do, I do. But abby and I will talk about this by ourselves, and then we’ll circle back and discuss it with you further, okay?

Devon: Sounds good. Thank you.

Chance: Yeah.

Devon: Please take your time thinking about it. But I appreciate you listening. I’ll talk to you guys later.

Abby: I don’t understand this.

Chance: I do. It’s because of me.

Phyllis: Hey.

Lauren: Hey.

Phyllis: What brings you by the grand phoenix?

Lauren: Oh, I just wrapped up a lunch meeting.

Phyllis: Oh, okay, well, I’m glad you’re not one of my exes.

Lauren: Oh, really? Which one, pray tell, nick or jack?

Phyllis: Both, both, both. Nick just now.

Lauren: And?

Phyllis: [ Groans ] He told me he’s going to visit summer. I’m jealous.

Lauren: Well, what’s stopping you from hopping on a plane to italy? Anything?

Phyllis: No, I can’t do that. You know that. That would be so awkward and weird and look like a stalker. No, no. Besides, you know, the hotel, I mean, it’s the holiday season. I can’t go anywhere.

Lauren: Alright, so you’ll plan it for a different time.

Phyllis: Yeah.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Lauren: Huh. Jack just texted me. He’s gone to new york. He canceled our meeting for tomorrow. So doesn’t look like you’re gonna be running into him for a while.

Phyllis: Wait, jack went out of town to do business? Who does that during the holiday?

Lauren: Uh, I don’t know. Must’ve been a last-minute emergency.

Phyllis: Or maybe he left town to get away from me.

Nick: Hey, let me help you with that.

Sharon: Thanks. Coffee’s on the house.

Nick: Oh. Well, I really just came by because I wanted to talk to you. I need to ask you a favor.

Sharon: Sure.

Nick: Well, you should hear what it is first, ’cause it’s kind of a big deal.

[ Phone buzzes ]

Victoria: Yes.

[ Sighs ] Fine, send them in.

[ Groans ]

Lily: Hello.

Victoria: I thought you had had enough fun for the day.

Billy: I’m here to discuss something a little bit more serious.

Victoria: Oh, serious. You mean sober?

Billy: Ha-ha.

Victoria: Well, it looks like you’re back to your old self.

[ Sighs ] That must be a relief for you.

Lily: Well, it’s not a relief because it was never a concern.

Victoria: So you’re in on whatever bizarre game it is that billy’s playing. That time you came to me and you asked me what signs you should look for if — if billy was suffering a relapse, that was totally insincere. You were just playing on my emotion?

Lily: I’m really sorry about that.

Billy: But there was a reason for all of it, and I hope once i explain it to you, you will understand and maybe even come on to our side.

Victoria: Oh. I highly doubt that.

Billy: Just hear me out, please. Don’t settle for products that give you a sort-of white smile.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Billy: And turnabout is fair play, so now, all I have to do is get adam to publish and article about my supposed downward spiral.

Victoria: To what end?

Billy: I prove that I haven’t been drinking or gambling, and i threaten to sue newman media unless they publicly acknowledge the pain that they caused chanccomm and my reputation.

Victoria: You know, billy, only you would come up with a plan this stupid. You want to try to redeem yourself by pretending to be a drunken failure, when the solution is right there, right in front of your face? Get another job. Work at jabot or chancellor industries. Work hard, do well.

Billy: Yeah.

Victoria: Earn your good name back.

Billy: Right, and that would mean victor and adam get away with what they did, and that’s not gonna happen. And if they did the same thing to you, you would not take it laying down.

Victoria: Yes, because i would have caught them before they had a chance to do anything.

Billy: Okay, great. You’re savvier than I am. You’re the ceo of the year. You happy with that?

Lily: Okay, look, i understand your concerns. I had the same ones as you. This is a very outside-the-box kind of plan. But there’s also a poetic justice to it. I mean, do you really want adam to come out on top? He continues to get away with things that he does. That’s been his M.O. His entire life.

Victoria: How I feel about adam is irrelevant.

Lily: Is it, though? ‘Cause you did try to intervene when he was attempting to scoop up chanccomm.

Victoria: Well, don’t misunderstand that. Making a play for chanccomm was a financially sound decision that I made for this business. I wasn’t doing it to try to rescue billy. I don’t have that compulsion anymore.

Billy: I don’t need rescuing. I just need you to stay out of this. Just wash your hands clean of me, like you’ve wanted to do for a very long time. I will succeed or fail on my own.

Victoria: So you want me to stay silent while you set a trap for my father?

Billy: What I am doing is proving to victor that adam has no place running newman media, the company that was handed to him on a silver platter. And I am going to take him down. And I know, deep down, you want to see that happen, too. So just stay out of the way, okay? Forget that we even saw each other today.

Victoria: I resent being put in the middle of this mess. None of this would be happening right now if you had just listened to me in the first place and left ashland alone.

Billy: Yes, I made some mistakes, but I also got screwed over, okay?

Lily: Look, um, we get this is a lot to ask of you, so we’re gonna go and give you some time to think it over, and we’ll wait to hear back from you.

Victoria: Don’t hold your breath.

Sharon: Of course, I’ll watch christian while you go to milan. I won’t even consider that doing you a favor because I will have so much fun doing it.

Nick: Well, thank you. I really appreciate it.

Sharon: I’m really glad that you didn’t change your mind about going on the trip.

Nick: Yeah, I figure it’s gonna be a great way to ring in the new year and celebrate my birthday.

Sharon: Well, I was thinking there might be a little bit more to it than that because, on christmas eve, you seemed sort of pensive and, I don’t know, reflective. And then faith mentioned something about a dream you had? Um, yeah. It’s not a big deal. I mean, I barely even remember it.

Sharon: Okay. If you say so.

Nate: Hey, guys.

Sharon: Hey, nate.

Nick: Hey, man.

Nate: Hey. Sharon, you mind if I grab a couple of coffees from you?

Sharon: Of course. I’ll be right back.

Abby: Don’t blame yourself.

Chance: Mm.

Abby: Look, he said specifically that this was not a reaction to us or anything that we did.

Chance: I know, but he did say that his bond strengthened with dominic after he delivered him and after he took care of him while you were gone. All of those things happened because I went on that mission.

Abby: Just stop. I refuse to let you beat yourself up over this anymore. Yes, devon and dominic, they have a very special bond, and i meant what I said, I think that’s a beautiful thing. But if we want to blame someone, let’s just go ahead and blame me.

Chance: Oh.

Abby: Because I am the one that let devon take care of dominic while I was away. I mean, I should’ve just left him with one of our moms.

Chance: No, abby, when he said the future is unpredictable, he meant me. He doesn’t trust me. He doesn’t think I can come through for you or dom.

Abby: That’s a big leap. What makes you think that?

Chance: [ Sighs ] Because I might have said some things to him the other night that I probably shouldn’t have said.

Abby: What exactly did you say?

Chance: [ Sighs ]

Itchy?

Phyllis: You know, despite jack’s very thoughtful offer to spend christmas eve night with his family, I had to turn him down.

Lauren: I don’t get that. Why?

Phyllis: Really? Okay, I already crashed the whole gathering at the chancellor house earlier. I just couldn’t bring myself to have dinner with the abbotts that evening, that’s all.

Lauren: I’m sure jack would not have included you unless he knew that you were going to feel welcomed.

Phyllis: His sisters, they hate me, honestly. I mean, they would’ve been polite, but, you know, I’m gonna consider it my christmas gift to them that I didn’t show up. I don’t — maybe jack was upset. I don’t know.

Lauren: I’m sure he felt rejected. And you know what? I’m really not buying this excuse because the phyllis i know would revel in the opportunity to make ashley and traci feel uncomfortable.

This is about you and jack.

Phyllis: Yeah, it is. It’s about me and jack. Definitely. We’re in a weird place right now, very delicate, and I don’t want to screw things up by pushing out of the friendship into something else.

Lauren: Well, it sounds like your fear has already caused some sort of damage to your relationship.

Phyllis: Okay, well, what do I do?

Lauren: Well, it depends how long he’s going to be in new york. Maybe you make it up to him on new year’s eve.

Nate: [ Whistles ] Hey, hey, how’s it going?

Devon: Hey, man. I’m not sure how it’s going yet, ’cause I just got back from abby and chance’s, and I took your advice, did what you suggested, and I talked to them about how i was feeling about dominic and asked about amending the agreement that we have so we could spend more time together.

Nate: And how did they take it?

Devon: Abby was surprised that I wasn’t satisfied with the way things are currently.

Nate: What about chance? Did he feel threatened?

Devon: I — I made it as clear as I could that I’m not trying to take his place in dominic’s life, but, you know, by the end of the conversation, he said that he understood where I was coming from.

Nate: That sounds like a good sign.

Abby: Devon told me about your conversation at society, and he made it sound like it wasn’t a big deal. I mean, he said that you were having a hard time adjusting to life back at home. But, I mean, I already knew that. Was there more to it than that?

Chance: Look, abby, I…

[ Sighs ] I was just a little restless. Okay? I was on edge. I should’ve just kept my thoughts to myself, or at least been aware of who I was talking to. I mean, devon’s our baby boy’s biological father. Of course my mental state’s gonna concern him.

Abby: What kind of concerns do you think he has?

Chance: I may have just hinted that I’m just a little bit overwhelmed. You know, not just at life at home, but about being a father. You know, I’m trying to make up for not being here when my son needed me. When I chose to go on a mission that went horribly wrong. I — but, baby, I want you to know, being a father is a dream come true for me. It is. It truly is, but it is happening under circumstances that none of us could have ever imagined. And, abby, it is so much harder than I thought it would be. I mean, and then you got devon over here who’s been here since the baby’s first breath. He instinctively understands dominic. He’s able to calm him down when he’s upset. He’s doing things that maybe i can’T.

Abby: [ Sighs ] Well, um…I guess I just didn’t realize how much you were struggling. But the way that you’re feeling, I think it’s natural. I mean, you’re just getting to know dominic. Your relationship, it’s gonna grow with him over time.

Chance: Yeah, I know, I know, I know. You’re right. I just think telling devon all that has made him feel like he needs to take action because he doesn’t know if he can count on me.

Billy: The silence is deafening.

Lily: Look, you might have to accept the fact that victoria’s not gonna go along with your plan. I think she’s too upset with you for trying to dig into ashland’s past.

Billy: Yeah, well, she might not ever get over that.

Lily: You know, what she said about you having other ways to redeem yourself isn’t wrong. You know, if you’re not gonna take the coo job at chancellor, then come on as a consultant. I’m gonna consult with you anyway. You might as well take the title and salary, and then build your reputation back that way.

Billy: [ Sighs ]

[ Doorbell rings ]

Billy: Or… we hit the bike trails every weekend

Abby: I think that we have to take devon at his word and understand that this doesn’t have anything to do with you or with me, it just has to do with his connection to dominic. And it kind of feels like what happened with mariah. She grew way more attached to dominic after he was born than anyone expected, and it just took some time and she realized that she had to step back and get a new perspective.

Chance: Yeah, yeah, I wasn’t there for all that.

Abby: I think that devon probably feels similarly. He just has a different approach. So we just need to be patient, and we will figure this out.

Chance: You think so?

Abby: Yeah, yeah. As long as we are in this together. But, you know, I do have to say that I’m a little bit worried that you didn’t come to me with all of this. I know that you are so happy to be a dad, and I understand that it’s probably frustrating that your connection with — with dominic didn’t click into place right away. But he’s gonna get bigger, and your connection with him is just gonna grow over time. But right now, we are just gonna have to think of different approaches. Yeah.

Chance: You’re amazing.

Abby: I know. I, um — I am in love. But please know that you can talk to me about anything. You’re not gonna scare me off or disappoint me. You might not realize it, but I’m pretty tough.

Chance: Well, I’m sorry you’ve had to be.

Abby: Stop. I am the luckiest woman in the world to be your wife. And I am so happy that you are home.

Nate: I’m encouraged that abby and chance are open to further discussion about your agreement.

Devon: Yeah, me too. Me too. I hope that they see that, you know, dominic spending more time with his godfather is a good thing. But I don’t want to talk your ear off. Coffee’s probably getting cold.

Nate: Elena’s probably thinking I’m trying to get out of helping her pack.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Nate: Come on, say hi. Come on.

Devon: Alright.

Sharon: Do you want a refill? Or do you want to ask me for another favor? Because I already agreed to watch christian, and you said you didn’t want to talk about your dream.

Nick: Okay, your intuition was correct. I have been wrestling with some things, and they have bubbled to the surface in my dream.

Sharon: So you want to talk about it?

Nick: No.

[ Laughs ]

Sharon: Okay. Hey, if you change your mind, you know I’m always here for you, right?

Nick: Always.

Phyllis: You think I should spend new year’s with jack?

Lauren: Why not? I mean, worst case scenario, you’ll have a very pleasant evening with a very good friend.

Phyllis: If that’s the worst case scenario, then you lack imagination.

Lauren: Okay. Let’s go best case scenario. The clock strikes midnight, and would you want to be kissing jack?

Phyllis: Oh. I don’t — maybe.

Lauren: So this theoretical kiss, is that one on the cheek or is it on the lips?

Phyllis: Lauren, I don’t know. I don’t know. This whole thing is so complicated.

Lauren: Well, it’s a moot point because I just texted jack.

Phyllis: Did you text him and tell him that I wanted to spend new year’s eve with him? Are we in middle school?

Lauren: No! I would never do that. He doesn’t even know that I’m here. All I asked was how long he was going to be in new york. And he said a few weeks.

Phyllis: Oh, okay, a few weeks. Okay, good. See? Well, then it wasn’t m to be. It worked out. I mean, and it’s just for the best because me and jack and the holiday, that’s just — that’s just a bad mix.

[ Sighs ] Yeah.

Victoria: I still think this plan is outrageous and it’s flawed. I mean, there are a million things that can go wrong.

Billy: Is there a “but” in there somewhere?

Victoria: But I’ve given it some thought, and I’ve decided that I won’t get in your way.

Billy: Thank you.

Victoria: No, don’T. I haven’t finished. I’ll keep quiet for a price. I mean, if I go along with this, there has to be something in it for me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

final thought. Milky way nature of his relationship with ms. Reeves? He did. D.A. Sheridan: Hearsay, your honor. Judge milford: Overruled. Could you be a little more specific? I overheard sonny say, “whatever happened between us in nixon falls, it has to come from me, and it will.” What was that, ms. Tait? What went on between the alleged victim and the accused? Love. Are you saying that sonny and nina, they fell in love in nixon falls? You would have to ask them that question. You think I want you to give me space? Well, what else can I think? I mean, sometimes you’re — you’re happy I’m around, but then other times, it’s — it’s like I’m annoying you or I’m in the way.

[ Clears throat ] Hey, you guys. Hey, sweetie. Brook lynn and chase are gonna be in charge. They’re gonna watch you while ned and I are out, okay? Got it? What do you have there, leo? So, how are you guys feeling? Uh, ready, no matter what we learn.

[ Sighing ] Yeah. Yeah, whatever leo needs, is what we said. How about you? You sure you can, uh, keep an eye on him? You know, last time we put you in charge, there was a — you lose a kid once, you can never live it down. At least there’s two sets of eyes on him today, right? It’s nice having chase around. Too nice.

[ Knock on door ] Hi! Uh, you’re early for lunch. That’s because I couldn’t wait another minute for my schatz to open her christmas present.

[ Chuckles ] Thank you for understanding why I chose to work on christmas. I try not to be offended that you’d rather be here than celebrating the holiday with your mutter. Come on! With you and scott practically fused at the hip, I would have been a total third wheel. You could be in love, too. In fact, once you open your gift, you’ll never have to spend another holiday alone.

[ Chuckles ] Thanks for showing me around the invader. You’re welcome, son. I am determined to reboot

the invader as a reputable, credible resource for the inquiring minds. That’s a great new beginning for the paper and for you. Now that the pcpd has officially cleared you of shooting hayden, nothing can hold you back. Well, what about you, tj? Huh? You forget about our plans the other day to watch the game? You barely return texts. You’re either crazy busy or something’s got you preoccupied. Are you holding something back? What are you so eager to ask me? Well, aunt stella, I just discovered something unexpected about marshall. And then it occurred to me how very little I know about the man. Well, that’s not surprising. Your dad hasn’t been a part of your life since you were a child. So what did you discover? I discovered that my dad’s a musician. And a fine one, too. See, that’s why I called you here, so you could fill in the blanks concerning my father. Tell me everything there is to know about marshall ashford. What is the relevance of this line of questioning, your honor? I want to hear every word. Even if we’re to take this hearsay on good faith, what bearing does it have on these charges? Scott: Well, there is relevance, and I can explain. Your honor, this is not a trial. The witness has not been deposed. There’s been no appropriate discovery related to her testimony. Hell, you’re the one that put ms. Tait on the stand in the first place. I have every right to question her.


This waiting is driving me crazy. I’m nervous, too. But, you know, we’ve done the research, asked the questions, observed leo’s behavior. We’re as prepared as we can be. But no amount of preparation can really — can really prepare a parent f-for the possibility that — that they — that they can’t — that i can’t provide what my child needs, you know? Look, the diagnosis isn’t gonna change how we feel about our son. No. No, of course not. This doesn’t change how much we love leo, but what if leo needs something that I can’t give him? Mr. And mrs. Quartermaine? Let’s go to my office. It’s time to talk about leo. Here we go. I wanted to tell you, but…it’s a tricky topic. He’s someone that makes my uncle curtis incredibly uncomfortable, and it didn’t feel like it was my place to announce his arrival. And even though he wants to reconnect with family, I just — I want to get to know him for me. Okay, so some distant family member resurfaced? Not so distant. Marshall ashford is here in port charles. Okay, wait, wait. Tommy and curtis’ father is alive? How did you realize your dad was a musician? A group of volunteers were playing for the patients at G.H. And there was marshall right there playing the clarinet.

[ Exhales sharply ] Yes, that sounds just like your dad. See, that’s an example of what I’m talking about, right there. I have no idea of what sounds like marshall. I don’t know the guy. But you do. Well, when you were growing up, you — you never asked about him. That’s because every time marshall’s name came up, we saw how much hurt it caused you and mom. So tommy and me, we — we made a pact. We weren’t gonna cause you any more grief by asking a bunch of questions about dad. Okay, that breaks my heart. Irene and I never wanted you boys to feel like you couldn’t talk about your daddy. Me and tommy, we just decided to go another way. What does that mean? It means… it means we made up stories, you know? And in our imagination, our dad was courageous and he was brave. He was a hero. And then I met him, and, well, he was just a man. But I have no idea who that man is. Do you? Ms. Tait, how do you know that mr. Corinthos and nina reeves were in love? Nina said so. What exactly did she say? She said their love was the purest thing she’s ever known. Do you think mr. Corinthos reciprocated that? Nina said that mike felt the same way. Mike being mr. Corinthos? Yes. But she also said it ended once he got his memories back. Oh. Well, once he got his memories back, he, uh, decided that ms. Reeves was not legally at fault. How telling.

[ Chuckles ] No further questions. D.A. Sheridan: Redirect, your honor. Judge milford: Proceed. Ms. Tait, my apologies my colleague felt it necessary to put you in that position. I have only two more questions for you. First, have you ever asked mr. Corinthos about this alleged romantic relationship with ms. Reeves? Willow: No, I haven’T. Oh, so we’re taking the defendant, a woman charged with fraud, at her word. Objection, your honor. Judge milford: Less editorializing, mr. Sheridan. Final question, ms. Tait. Do you believe the personal feelings nina reeves had for mr. Corinthos motivated her to fraudulently conceal his identity? Objection, your honor. The D.A. Is asking the witness to speculate what was going on in my client’s head at the time. Overruled. You opened this door, counselor. Witness will answer the question.


What do you think, leo? You ready for some breakfast? I had breakfast hours ago. Oh, well, we all can’t be such early risers. What do you want to do today, huh? You want to go to the movies or visit the aquarium? Maybe play with some nifty superhero action figures your cool stepsister got you? No? Okay. I know what to get you next year.

[ Sighs ] Well, I think these things are pretty cool, brook lynn. Well, now I know what to get you, too. You know, going back to that boundary conversation, how much of that was your dad, and how much of it’s you? I mean, am I getting on your nerves? ‘Cause if I’m around too much, just — just say the word. Maybe it’s why you’re so grumpy. Is this hot enough for you? I’m not grumpy.

[ Clears throat ] I’m frustrated. You signed me up for a matchmaking service? Well, not just any matchmaking service. Society setups is an elite service catering to upwardly mobile professionals. Ugh! I mean, could this be more pretentious?

[ Sighs ] I know you’re struggling, britta, and not without reason. For all his flaws, jason morgan was a remarkable man. But he’s gone. There’s no use pining. Learn from my example instead. Scott and I bonded while mourning the loss of franco. If I can find love in the midst of grief, who’s to say you can’t, too? Do you believe nina reeves’ personal feelings for mr. Corinthos motivated her to fraudulently conceal his identity? I-I’m not in nina’s head. I can’t tell you what her motive was. Fair enough. Let me ask a less speculative question. Is it true that, in nixon falls, the man who called himself mike was single and available to ms. Reeves, whereas sonny corinthos has a wife and a family? Yes. Thank you, ms. Tait. I appreciate your honesty. No further questions, your honor. You may step down.

[ Breathing shakily ]

[ Door closes ] Willow… are you okay? I-I — I never meant for you or your family to find out this way. I-I — I never meant for you to find out at all. I’m having a really hard time understanding this. Why didn’t you tell me what you knew? Tommy and curtis thought their old man was dead. And now he shows up? Where has he been? He won’t say. He just wants to move forward. But curtis isn’t having that. He thinks marshall can’t be trusted. Oh, I completely agree with curtis. You show up after all these years with zero explanation? Still, we both know the past can be complicated. You mean like your complicated past with tommy. Does marshall know? He knows he’s not my biological grandfather. He saw my father’s day post that I dedicated to you on social media. But I loved tommy as a father, and he considered me to be his son. He knows that, too. He still wants to get to know me, but if that makes you uncomfortable… that’s up to you, tj. You’re a grown man. And curtis is entitled to his feelings about marshall, but so are you. Just be cautious.

[ Knock on door ] Marshall: Excuse me. I’m, uh, looking for the arts & culture — tj? Marshall. What are you doing in a newspaper office? You first. Well, I’m, uh, putting together a band, and I was hoping to generate some interest from the arts & culture reporter. Wow. Okay. Uh, well, you would have to talk to the publisher, who happens to be standing right here — my father, shawn butler. Dad, this is marshall ashford. Nice to meet you, mr. Ashford. I have no intention of shaking hands with the man responsible for my son thomas’ death. Your honor, I-I would like to note, for the record, that D.A. Questioned the veracity of what my client said to ms. Tait. But yet, he didn’t recall mr. Corinthos. Judge milford: So noted. While it is the prosecution’s right to call the witnesses that they deem appropriate, it is also within my discretion to call the witnesses I feel are pertinent. And given that there are some questions about the nature of the relationship between the accused and the alleged victim, I recall sonny corinthos to the stand.


I wish to god that I neveroverheard nina and your father. I was just in the wrong spot at the wrong moment. I-I’m not blaming you for happening on a private conversation, but why didn’t you tell me about it? Nina convinced me not to say anything, that keeping quiet was somehow protecting you and your family. Well, she was wrong. Did you have a personal relationship with nina reeves in nixon falls? I had many personal relationships when I knew myself as mike the bartender. I forged friendships. I built a life there. We just heard willow tait testify under oath that she overheard you and the defendant allude to a prior romantic relationship. Did she perjure herself? No, she did not. Willow told the truth. And that truth being what exactly? That… …nina, we — we had a relationship, and we ended up falling in love. Whoa, that’s not fair, marshall. It’s o– it’s okay, tj. I can understand why mr. Ashford feels the way he does. You understand — you understand ’cause it’s true. You shot my son after you slept with his wife. I’ve made mistakes in my life. And certainly my last encounter with tommy is something I’m going to always regret. But you don’t have all the facts, mr. Ashford. Fact — you had an affair with my son’s wife. Fact — you fathered a child with her. Fact — when he confronted you about your betrayal, you shot him in cold blood. Now, if I’m missing something, please, enlighten me. What happened was self-defense. Oh, please. He’s telling the truth. I had no choice. Tommy was not in his right mind. What don’t I know about marshall? What I know about marshall is limited to a few years decades ago. Okay, but it’s still more than I know. Okay. Marshall was a very private person. But your mama, irene, was the center of his world. He waited on that woman hand and foot, unless he was playing that darn clarinet. You’re never gonna believe this, but he loved that old thing so much, he gave it a name.

[ Chuckles ] What’d he call it? Henrietta.

[ Sighs ] And he carried that old thing with him everywhere he went. Irene used to scold him for leaving the case on the kitchen table. Okay. So and then what? Well, like I said, marshall was very private. But he was also very generous. It seems like you and tommy would get a new pair of shoes and barely break them in before marshall was donating them to the local group home. Drive your mama crazy, but marshall would just smile and say, “my sons have a daddy who can buy them new shoes with just one gig. But those other boys had nobody.” Wait, so you’re saying I’m — I’m frustrating you now? It’s not you, okay? It’s the situation. The uncertainty, it’s just — it’s overwhelming.

[ Sighs ] ‘Cause you don’t know how long it’s gonna last. Look, even though the bad guy is out of commission, it’s only temporary. We’re stuck in this limbo. But if the bad guy wakes up and starts fighting the good guys again, we may have to play these roles indefinitely. Yes. And in a perfect world, the villain would retire forever and the city could take down the bat signal and krypton could return to normal. You don’t know much about the superhero multiverse, do you?

[ Sighs ] Who cares? Look, the point is, there’s no light at the end of the tunnel, bat signal or not. Well, that’s not true. I mean, if the bad guy loses his powers, then a woman can get her child back. And another woman has to let go. Dr. Newman: When it comes to developmental disabilities, we can’t use straightforward diagnostic tools like blood tests or x-rays. We rely on history and behavior for diagnosis. Based upon the recent developmental assessment, language evaluation, social screening I conducted recently, as well as the supplemental information you provided, it’s my determination that leo has autism spectrum disorder. Is that conclusive? You’re always free to get a second opinion. But I believe other physicians will concur with my findings. So what is the next step? Dr. Newman: For leo? We talk about the many state and hospital resources available. And for you both, I recommend taking time to process this diagnosis and all the emotions it may bring. I don’t know how else to say this, mother. I’m not interested. Fine. But people in control of their own romantic destiny often make

ein schlamassel. Look at nina. What’s going on with nina? She pinned her hopes on an unavailable man, and her life is unraveling as a result. Oh, is this — is this the guy she was seeing in nixon falls? Do you know him? We both know him. Nina fell for sonny corinthos. Judge milford: Should this case go to trial, the defendant may be found guilty of a crime. In the eyes of the law, you would be her victim. Mr. Corinthos, do you consider yourself the victim of a crime? No. You may step down.

[ Sighs ]


Baldwin, D.A. Sheridan,I will hear closing statements. Your honor, my client does not stand accused of fraud for monetary benefits. My client is charged with deliberate deception to damage a victim. Your honor, in his own testimony, mr. Corinthos, the alleged victim of nina reeves’ crime, claims he wasn’t one. No victim, no crime. So I am asking that you dismiss the charges today. Whether or not mr. Corinthos considers himself to be a victim is not materially relevant in our system of jurisprudence, your honor. Today’s circus does not negate an undisputed fact. Nina reeves committed a civil and criminal infraction when she deceived sonny corinthos and all who knew him. The state has met its burden of proof, your honor. The fact that ms. Reeves deceived a man who we now know she was in love with only emphasizes the depth of her depravity. Your parents must be so devastated. You know, n-nina, she claims to love my dad, yet she allowed this today? I’m not sure nina knew it would come out. Of course! Of course she did. Willow, you might not realize this, but by keeping nina’s secret, you played right into her hands. She got exactly what she wanted. Right mind? What are you implying? Okay, look, I’m not trying to cast aspersions on tommy. Just the opposite. Tommy had every right to be angry with me. But on that day, it was so far beyond anger. I’m sure ptsd was part of it, but tommy was in crisis and just out of control. Now, he pulled a gun on me. I had a black eye coming. It was completely justified. I own that. But I never expected tommy, that he would — he would try and kill me. I never thought I’d — I’d have to stop him the way I did. I fully believe that if tommy had been able to get help for his ptsd, it would have never ended that way. It wasn’t tommy’s fault or my dad’S. You’re right. You’re right, tj. It was my fault. Okay. I-I totally get it. I mean, you have managed to keep bailey safe for months despite negative attitudes and assumptions coming your way. And however long this lasts, there will come a time when it’s over, and things will go back to their natural state, and you will have to make yet another huge sacrifice. I mean, it’s — it’s heroic. I’m not calling myself a hero. Maybe not, but I am.

[ Sighs ] And whatever you need to keep this going, I’m here to help. And when it’s time to say goodbye, I’ll be right by your side. I appreciate that, chase, but I-I don’t want you to feel obligated. Obligated? Brook lynn, we’re not just co-parents to bailey. You are my friend. Even when I’m grumpy? Yeah. I mean, this — this — this friendship goes both ways. You’ve seen me at my worst, and you didn’t give up on me. Yeah, well, I’ve also seen you at your best. Yeah, like the time that you saw me n-a-k-e-d? I can spell.

[ Laughing ] Okay, then.

[ Clears throat ] Of course you can. So you need to go w-a-s-h up for lunch, buddy. Go ahead. Be right b-a-c-K.

[ Chuckles ]

[ La ughs ]

[ Chuckles ] Process our emotions? I mean, this isn’t about us. This is — this is about leo. Dr. Newman: Learning your child has lifelong developmental disabilities can be challenging. You will have to readjust your expectations about how leo will learn and grow to adulthood. And this diagnosis will likely change what you thought your parenting experience would be. And it’s okay to feel emotional about that. Olivia and I, you know, we just want to give leo all the support and — and opportunities possible. Yeah. I agree. I agree with ned. We — we can handle our emotions…together. I — I’m just afraid. What? I’m just afraid this makes leo’s life so much more difficult. That’s an understandable fear. The good news is that this diagnosis means we can offer appropriate intervention programs for leo right away, programs that will help you engage with your son and help him to engage with the world. It may be helpful to think of raising a child with autism as a — a road trip. You won’t reach your destination in a straight line. There — there will be detours. But that can lead to discoveries along the way. I like that analogy. Can you be honest with us? Does that journey lead to leo having meaningful relationships and living independently as an adult? Please tell us that’s possible.


It’s definitely possible for leo to lead a happy, fulfilled life. G.H. Can offer extensive resources and can work with leo’s school to implement a plan. So leo will be able to remain in school? Every case is unique, but many children on the spectrum benefit socially and developmentally from learning in non-asd classrooms. So what — what happens next? D-does he come in and see you again or…? I’d like to check in on him periodically. I’m also gonna refer him to a geneticist for further testing. Now, I-it won’t change the diagnosis, but it may help diagnose medical conditions associated with symptoms of asd, just for a complete picture. Okay. Do you have any other questions for me? Thank you, doctor. You’ve been very helpful. There’s no reason leo can’t live his best life. The journey may look different now, but the goal is still the same.

[ Chuckles ] How could what happened have been your fault, marshall? You weren’t even around. That’s my point. Perhaps if I had been present to guide my son, tommy might still be here. That’s a lot for you to carry. That’s my job, to carry it. And I’ve been off my job for a long time. I’m glad you got a dad to do what I couldn’t — protect his son. Curtis: Do you think marshall even wondered who bought our shoes after he left? I can’t answer that.

[ Sighs ] What did this guy do outside of his music gigs? Who were his friends? Did he have any other family? Curtis, you’re asking the wrong person. You should be asking marshall. Yeah, I tried that. He doesn’t tell me much. Could it be you’re asking him the wrong questions or maybe going about it in the wrong way? You know, nobody appreciates being interrogated. He abandoned me. And now he wants me to let him back into my life. Don’t I deserve answers? Of course. And it’s — it’s natural that you’re curious. But marshall is within his right to keep his own counsel. So then where does that leave us?

[ Sighs ] You should know I met with marshall privately. I told you I won’t let anyone agitate this family. And I had to be sure of his motives. And? He wants to get to know you. And it sounds to me like you want the same thing. So talk to the man. Start small and — and build from there. Nina swore you to secrecy so that she could use this as a bombshell and play it to her best advantage. I-I — I don’t know, michael. Nina seemed grateful that I wasn’t going to tell her secret. She seemed eager not to cause any more pain. Nina played all of us. Judge milford: We’re gonna take a recess now while I weigh the testimony and evidence presented and consider the charges.

[ Gavel bangs ] I didn’t — I didn’t want this. Carly! Carly, I am so sorry. What the hell, dad? I’m gonna make this right. Don’t worry about it. Nina’s only hope of evading a trial and a potential guilty verdict is if scott can get someone on the stand to admit that sonny and nina were in love. Wow. Well, that would explain why nina kept going back to nixon falls and what peter was holding over her head. She wasn’t just trying to protect james. She didn’t want to lose her boyfriend. And now she’s in legal jeopardy.

[ Sighs ] She’s also going to face the wrath of carly when this comes out. Come on. I’ll help you clean up. You know, today was a lot of fun, but I never want to be a source of stress in your life. You know, maybe — maybe your dad was right. Maybe we should be setting some boundaries. No boundaries. I want you here.


I am sorry for the way marshall treated you. No. No, no, no. You’ve got nothing to apologize for, okay? I can’t blame marshall for protecting his son. Look, I’d have done the exact same thing if — if I ever thought somebody hurt you. I-I know my uncle. He has all these questions about all the years marshall’s been gone. But everything I’ve seen leads me to believe that he just wants to be part of this family. I hope curtis can come to see that, too. Marshall: I thought I’d be back by now, too. I still have some unfinished business. Here in port charles. The last thing I want to do is set our progress back. I’m following protocol.

[ Knock on door ] I’ll be in touch. I want to be here, too, but after everything that you’ve given up, I also want to respect that you’re entitled to a life of your own. Okay. Great. Then we are, um — we’re on the same page. You’ll be here just for appearances, then. Right, to co-parent bailey for as long as it takes. And I’ll, uh — I’ll stay out of your way otherwise. Great. Deal. Deal. Anything else? Um… tell our daughter I’ll see her soon.

[ Sighs ] The doctor seemed nice, right? Yes. Yes. And very knowledgeable. Hey. Leo will be fine. Thank you. Thank you for pushing through my defenses.

[ Chuckles, sniffles ] So where do we go from here? Home, to be with our son. Yeah. And like dr. Newman said, we start our road trip today, huh, as a family. Mm.

[ Chuckles ] You still haven’t heard anything from scott?

Nein. I have no idea if nina is going to get out from under the charges. If she does, she might find out that freedom could be even worse. What have you done? I kept you out of a hamster cage. No thanks necessary.

[ Footsteps depart ]

[ Door opens ] Did you use me, nina? Sonny: Carly, wait! Hey. Hey. Can I just explain? Can you listen to me? Listen to who?! Mike? Sonny? Or someone else completely?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Johnny: You know what I’m starting to think? I’m starting to think this doesn’t even have anything to do with me. I think that you’re just jealous.

Tripp: What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Johnny: You know what it means. Your girlfriend here wants my wife all to herself.

Allie: What are you talking about?

Johnny: What do you think I’m talking about? You’re still in love with chanel, allie.

[Dramatic music]

Brady: Thank you for getting the charges dropped.

Belle: Well, don’t thank me. They shouldn’t have been filed in the first place.

Brady: Yeah. Well, they were, and I spent christmas in a jail cell. So thank you.

Belle: Well, then you should also thank chloe. She’s the one who got victor and kate to drop the declaration of philip’s death.

Brady: Yeah. It’s the first time, I think, chloe has ever been successful changing either one of their minds.

Belle: Yeah. And without that declaration, the da really didn’t have a case. Everything was circumstantial.

Brady: Yeah.

Belle: So you’re in the clear.

Brady: I’m in the clear. It’s all I wanted for christmas this year was to get out of jail. It’s a little christmas miracle I guess.

Belle: Let’s hope for another one.

[Phone ringing]

Brady: Marlena?

Belle: Yeah. Now that she’s been caught, dad is gonna try an exorcism.

Brady: And you’ve had all this on your mind, and yet you’re still down here for my sake. Come here. I’m sorry, belle. I’m sorry.

Belle: Well, at least here I can do something.

Brady: Yeah.

Belle: I’m really scared, brady.

John: Oh, thank god you’re here, kid. Please come in.

Eric: As soon as we hung up last night, I booked my flight. How’s mom?

John: I honestly don’t know. ‘Cause we’re not dealing with your mom, we’re dealing– we’re dealing with “it.”

Eric: Are you alone?

John: Lucas and sami are here. They’re in there with her now. Hopefully… holding the devil at bay.

Sami: What is my mom talking about? Have you been lying to me?

Lucas: It’s not your mom, it’s the devil, and he’s trying to stir up trouble.

Demon marlena: Yeah. Well, that’s true ’cause that’s what I do. But the truth is you are keeping a secret from her, and we both know it. For starters, I ow what you did. See, people think of you as the boring one, but I know what a little bad boy you are.

Lucas: Yeah, I’m so boring that your mind games won’t work on me.

Demon marlena: Really? You see, I know that you’re the one that kidnapped sami and held her captive. That’s not very boring. So she’s going to find out one way or the other. Do you want to tell her? Or should I tell her?

[Chilling music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Allie: That is ridiculous.

Johnny: Is it?

Allie: Yes, okay? I am in love with tripp.

Johnny: Then why are you so against me marrying chanel?

Allie: Because I know you, and I know your history. She’s my best friend. I don’t want to see her get hurt.

Chanel: Except I’m not your best friend anymore.

Allie: What?

Chanel: I’m your sister-in-law. And I was really hoping that you would be happy for me. For us. Do you think you can do that?

[Dramatic music]

Sami: Lucas, just tell me. It can’t be that bad.

Demon marlena: I wouldn’t count on that.

Sami: You shut your mouth, or you’re going to get a face full of holy water.

Demon marlena: Ungrateful sow!

Sami: [Sighs] Lucas, please. Just tell me whatever it is.

Lucas: You want the truth? The–the truth is– is that I’ve been lying to you.

Demon marlena: Good start. Come on, now. The truth will set you free.

Sami: Ignore her.

Lucas: I’ve been lying to you– I’ve been lying to you about my feelings for you. You see, I– I love you so much.

Sami: Yeah. Of course you do.

Demon marlena: “Of course you do”?

[Laughs] What hubris!

Sami: Lucas, you’re not lying about that. You and I have talked about it. I know.

Lucas: Sami, there’s something more. There’s something you don’t know.

Demon marlena: Here we go.

[Tense music]

Eric: I’m so sorry you’re having to go through this for a second time.

John: Ah, don’t worry about me. We just have to focus on casting this demon out so we can get your mother back to us.

Eric: Is there any luck so far?

John: I’ve read scripture on casting out the devil, but he has such a strong hold on her. And he doesn’t– he doesn’t fight fair. He doesn’t come right at you. He surrounds you.

Eric: John, you must be exhausted.

John: I can’t afford to be, eric. I just needed to take a moment here just to try to recharge a little bit.

Eric: Well, you have backup now. And I happen to be well-suited for the job.

[Dramatic music]

Look at this guy.

Allie: I wish I could be happy for you, chanel, but you’ve made this mistake before–xander?

Johnny: You’re comparing me to xander now?

Allie: Well, there are some very striking resemblances.

Tripp: Allie–

Chanel: Okay, horton, listen to me. Johnny and I are in love. He’s been there for me like no guy ever has, and we are in this for the long haul.

Allie: Dupree, I’m sorry, but you’re wrong, okay? He’s gonna break your heart sooner or later. It’s just a matter of time.

[Dramatic music]

Kayla: I still can’t believe that tripp was the one that was in that hospital bed and not jan. I mean, thank god he’s all right.

Steve: Thank god. Well, shawn is taking jan back to statesville where she belongs. So things are looking up.

Kayla: Well, not quite. We still have to get the devil out of marlena.

Steve: John said he’s gonna try an exorcism today.

Kayla: Is there anything we can do to help?

Steve: I guess all we can do is pray and have faith that john and family can get marlena back.

[Dramatic music]

John: You know, when you told me last night you went back to the priesthood, it just– it just seemed to me that god must’ve had a hand in this, that he was giving us just what we need to get your mother back just when we need it.

Eric: I agree. It was god’s will.

John: So why now?

Eric: Well, when everything was blowing up with nicole, there was something– something she said that really hit home. She said when I decided to take the collar off a few years ago, it never really changed who I was. So when I went back to the congo, I inquired to the church. I just didn’t want to say anything till it was a done deal.

John: Well, your timing couldn’t be better because you have the strongest faith of any man I’ve ever known. And, by god, son, you’re gonna need it.

Lucas: What you don’t know is how much I love you.

Demon marlena: How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky?

[Sizzling] Ow! Oh, you little brat!

Sami: Okay. Lucas, you have to do this faster, okay? What? What is it?

Lucas: Listen, I love you so much. I love you so much that I would do anything– I would do anything for us to get back together.

Demon marlena: Oh. Look what the cat dragged in.

Eric: Sami.

Sami: You’re a priest again?

Eric: Yeah. Maybe you heard nicole and I broke up.

Sami: You–eric, I’m so sorry.

Eric: Not now. We have more important things to do. It is written that, “you should not put the lord, our god, to the test.”

Demon marlena: And are you my lord? Are you my god?

Eric: Let’s just say I work for him.

Demon marlena: You know, I’m kind of surprised. I mean, I thought you were busy sharing your wondrous gifts with strangers in a strange land and to hell with your own family.

Eric: Actually, it’s going to be to hell with you.

Demon marlena: Cozy as it is down there, my work here is not finished yet.

Eric: You’re finished. My mother is coming back to us.

Demon marlena: I’m afraid it’s too late for that.

Eric: You’re afraid I’m right. You’re outflanked. She’s not given up. She’s in there, but she is fighting you with all she’s got. My boss and I are going to make damn sure she wins.

How did olay top expensive creams?

Johnny: You know, I am sick and tired of you constantly trashing me. I’m your twin. You’re supposed to be on my side no matter what.

Allie: Okay. Well, I’m sorry that us sharing a womb for nine months doesn’t give you a free pass, johnny!

Johnny: You’re as bad as mom.

Allie: Oh, you’re as bad as your dad, which is really, really bad.

Chanel: Johnny, let’s go. Let’s just go.

Allie: Chanel, it’s not you that I’m mad at.

Chanel: This is christmas morning, and this isn’t very merry. Come on, johnny.

Johnny: Chanel is my wife, and that’s not gonna change.

[Emotional music]

Allie: God. My brother is such a jerk.

Tripp: Maybe. Was he right?

Allie: About what?

Tripp: Are you in love with chanel?

Eric: I think it’s best if I do this alone.

Demon marlena: Yeah, right. Right. Those two aren’t exactly the god squad, are they?

Lucas: Come on, let’s go.

Demon marlena: Hey, lucas, remember–remember that a relationship built on lies is just like a house of cards. Remember I–

Sami: Get our mom back for us.

Eric: I’m gonna try my best. I think you should go too.

John: You’re sure that I can’t help?

Eric: You can pray. For now, I need to do this alone.

John: God help you, eric.

Eric: He will.

[Eerie music]

Demon marlena: You’re gonna do this alone, huh? Isn’t that a little arrogant?

Eric: I’m not doing this alone. “The lord god is in our midst. And he is mighty to save.”

Demon marlena: You arrogant little man. You really think all that’s gonna help you? Let me warn you, if you try to challenge my power, you will die.

[Chilling music]

Sami: I hope eric knows what he’s doing, what he’s up against.

John: Well, I’m praying that he’ll be all right. If he needs our help, he’ll let us know.

Belle: Look who I found!

John: Oh!

Sami: Brady!

John: Hey, kid.

Brady: Hey.

John: You’re out? You’re free?

Brady: I’m out. All the charges are dropped. So–

John: Nice.

Brady: Lucas, um, look, I don’t–I don’t know what happened, but I didn’t do anything to hurt philip, I swear to you.

Lucas: I believe you. I believe you.

Brady: Thank you ’cause it’s the truth. How’s marlena?

John: Eric’s here. He’s with her right now.

Brady: He’s alone?

John: Well, there’s–there’s something you don’t know. Eric went back to the priesthood. So, no, he’s– he’s not facing her alone.

[Dramatic music]

Eric: In the name of the father, and of the son, and the holy spirit, amen.

[Chilling music]

Demon marlena: Tell me something, handsome, is that a halloween costume? I thought they defrocked you years ago.

Eric: I’ve been reinstated.

Demon marlena: Oh. Well, I guess it’s all right for the church to forgive you, but what about all of those poor parishioners who had to sit through that video of you fornicating with that ridiculous foul woman? What’s her name? Oh, yeah, kristen.

Eric: For something to be a mortal sin, it needs to be committed with knowledge and full awareness. Kristen had drugged me.

Demon marlena: Oh, I get it. So if you had been drugged, that lets you off the hook, huh?

Eric: Even then, the cardinal gave me permission to return to the priesthood. I turned him down because I felt that I had lost my calling.

Demon marlena: Hmm. Now you’ve found it again?

Eric: That’s right.

Demon marlena: Well, that’s funny. Because based on that video, I would have thought that your true calling was the adult entertainment business.

Eric: You can throw that video in my face all you want. I’ve put it behind me.

Demon marlena: Oh, have you?

Eric: Yes.

Evil kristen: What do you say, father?

[Dramatic music]

You wanna make a sequel?

Only daisy cottage cheese will do

Steve: Ho, ho, ho!

Kayla: [Laughs]

> Steve: Patchy claus

patchy claus

patchy claus is here

Kayla: Jolly as ever. Wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second. I want to take a picture.

Steve: Whoa, wait a minute.

Kayla: Okay, smile. Smile.

Steve: You’re not going to use that to blackmail me, are you?

Kayla: Don’t be silly! I’m gonna send it to stephanie and joey and show them what they’re missing.

Steve: Oh, man. I sure do miss them.

Kayla: I know. Me too. It was so nice having joey here last year, wasn’t it?

Steve: Sure was. Well, it’s too bad he’s stuck in seattle with stephanie, but at least they’re together.

Kayla: True. And this party, I mean, I can’t even count how many years we’ve been doing it.

Steve: Mm.

Kayla: All the memories.

Steve: Mm-hmm.

Kayla: It really makes me think about the people who can’t be here.

Steve: I know. But, hey, the whole point of this thing has always been to try to brighten up christmas for the little ones who can’t get home.

Kayla: Right. It’s great to be here for the kids. Okay. Okay, patchy claus, merry christmas.

Steve: Merry christmas.

Kayla: I don’t know if there’s a way–

Steve: Come on, let’s try. I want a kiss. Santa wants a kiss.

[Smooching]

Allie: How many times do I have to say it? I am not in love with chanel, okay? She’s just my best friend. I wanna see her happy.

Tripp: Come on, allie, you have to admit that your reaction was a little more emphatic than that.

Allie: Okay. Well, it was “emphatic” because–because I know it’s not going to work out with chanel and my brother, and that worries me, obviously. But tripp, don’t you know by now? You’re the one that I love. Okay? Please tell me that you believe that.

Belle: Eric went back to the priesthood?

Brady: That wasn’t long. I mean, he just got his divorce finalized a little while ago.

Belle: Did he say why he did that?

Sami: If anyone could make a man swear off women, it’d be nicole.

John: I think it was more a matter of faith.

Belle: Well, whatever the reason, it’s really good for mom. Is he doing the exorcism?

John: He just started, yeah.

Brady: Dad, I don’t know. Priest or no priest, I don’t think he should be in there alone fighting the devil.

[Dramatic music]

Eric: How did you–

Evil kristen: Father, you of all people must know that the devil can take many forms.

Eric: No. You’re just an illusion.

Evil kristen: I don’t think so.

Eric: You’re just–

Evil kristen: I’m a lot more real than you think. Why don’t you come a little closer and see for yourself?

Eric: I’m not interested.

Evil kristen: You were hesitant the first time too. But eventually, you came around.

Eric: No. I was drugged.

Evil kristen: So maybe that’s why things are a little hazy. Perhaps this will jog your memory.

[Bright tone]

[Dramatic music]

Eric: I wasn’t myself.

Evil kristen: I think that you were the real you, without all of your priestly inhibitions.

Eric: No.

Evil kristen: Just give in, eric. No one will ever know.

Brady: Eric, don’t listen to her. It’s just another one of the devil’s tricks.

Find your rhythm.

Evil kristen: Oh, brady, you don’t have to be jealous. I’ll always have a special place in my heart for you. You want me to prove it?

Brady: That’s a hard pass.

Evil kristen: You’re so silly. You never could resist me.

Eric: You can try to lead us into temptation, but it’ll never work. You’re just wasting your time.

Brady: Hey, let’s go.

Eric: Thank you for bringing me back to reality. I was–I was starting to fall.

Brady: Hey, I got your back.

Demon marlena: You two are such a drag.

[Scoffs] You’re no match for me, you fallen priest and the boozy brother. You won’t win.

Eric: You’re right. He’s absolutely right.

Brady: Eric, what are you talking about? We’re not giving up on this.

Eric: No, no, we’re not giving up. We’re just gonna take a whole new approach to this.

Sami: So you found shawn in bed with jan spears?

Belle: Well, the devil made her look exactly like me.

Sami: Right. We should have used that excuse with ej.

Belle: It’s not funny, sami.

Sami: No, sorry. I’m just–

Belle: Jan wouldn’t even be back in our lives if it wasn’t for you. I mean, you broke her out of shady pines while she was still dangerously nuts.

Sami: Okay, if you wanna blame someone, blame nicole. She’s the one who was trying to steal my grandchild away from me.

John: You stop it.

Belle: Of course. Right.

John: Stop–no, no, no, we’re not going to have a house divided here.

Sami: Okay–

John: We’re fighting satan, not ourselves. We have to maintain a united front here. Take your sister’s hand.

Eric: John’s right. None of us are strong enough to beat the devil. We need to set aside our differences. We need to work together as a family. It’s the only hope we have of saving mom’s soul.

[Dramatic music]

Allie: You believe I love you, don’t you?

Tripp: I do. And I love you, too, allie.

Allie: I know. Or else you’d never agree to wear matching bracelets.

Tripp: That’s right.

[Phone rings]

Allie: Oh, it’s grandpa john. Hi, grandpa john, any news on grandma?

Demon marlena: Oh, marlena. Looks like your loved ones are circling the wagons. And the fight for your soul is about to begin.

[Chilling music]

And I am going to win it. Forever. Such tree-mendous views.

Steve: Come on, sit on patchy claus’s lap.

Kayla: You’re not gonna give up until I do it, are you?

Steve: Nope.

Kayla: And it doesn’t matter to you that I find it terribly embarrassing for me, chief of staff of this hospital, to sit on santa’s lap in front of all my colleagues?

Steve: Oh, no, I don’t care. And besides… I have something for you.

Kayla: You do?

Steve: Here. Here.

Kayla: Aww.

Steve: Open it up.

Kayla: Aww, steve, it’s beautiful.

Steve: You know, my number one elf, tripp, told me that bracelets are the trending christmas gift this year, and I thought it would go nice with the necklace that I gave you on our honeymoon.

[Sentimental music]

All these years later, you’re still my anchor.

Kayla: Thank you. I love it. And I love you.

Steve: You know what?

Kayla: Mm?

Steve: Now you’re kissing santa in front of all your colleagues.

Kayla: I don’t care.

Steve: That’s the christmas spirit.

Tripp: Hey.

Chanel: Oh. Hey, henry, merry christmas. Hey, tripp.

Tripp: Hey. Look, I’m–I wanted to say I’m sorry about before and I just hope that you and I can still be friends.

Chanel: Yeah. Me, too. We’ll just keep it neutral like switzerland.

Tripp: Right. Well, did johnny get a call from his grandfather? Allie did.

Chanel: Yeah. I hope dr. Evans is gonna be okay.

Tripp: Yeah. Same here. Well, I was about to take henry to the hospital.

Chanel: Oh, what’s wrong?

Tripp: Oh, nothing, nothing. Every christmas the hospital throws a party for the kids that can’t go home. And since johnny is otherwise engaged, you want to come with us?

Chanel: Sure. I’d love to.

Tripp: All right. My dad is actually dressed up as santa claus, so it adds a little bit to the fun, right?

Chanel: Definitely. And I’m sure he’ll pull it off great.

Johnny: Looks like we both got the same call.

Allie: Look, about before–

Johnny: Look, look, it’s– today’s about grandma, okay? Everything else can wait.

[Knocking on door]

Sami: Oh, hey!

Allie: Hi. Hi.

Sami: I’m so glad to see you! Oh, look at you. You’re both here. Oh, I’m so glad that we could be together. I wish it was under different circumstances. Johnny, would you go on in? I want to talk to allie for a second.

Johnny: Sure.

Sami: Hey, um, I know this isn’t the right time for this conversation, but, well, chanel’s mother told me something that I wanted to talk to you– I wanted to verify with you.

Allie: You’re right, mom. This is not the time. Not the time at all.

Sami: Oh. Right. No, of course. Let’s go in.

Allie: Uncle eric? I didn’t know you were back.

Eric: Yeah. Well, it’s–I’ll explain later. But right now, we need to focus on saving your grandmother.

Lucas: You know what? I think I’m gonna go. This is definitely a family situation. I’ll be praying for everybody. Call me later, okay? See you soon.

Sami: Thank you, lucas. Johnny, listen, I know things didn’t end well–

Johnny: Look, like i told allie, today’s about grandma.

Sami: Thank you.

Johnny: So what are we doing?

Eric: An exorcism. I want you to all know upfront that this is gonna be very emotionally and physically exhausting… and very dangerous. If there’s anybody who doesn’t want to be a part of this, please, let me know now. There’s nothing wrong with saying no.

Allie: On the way over here, I was just thinking about everything she’s done for us. I’m not leaving.

Johnny: If she can take it, so can I.

Eric: I think it’s a good sign that we’re doing this on christmas day, the day that god sent down his only begotten son to save us. And I know that allie is not alone when she’s thinking of all the good things that mom has done for us. So now it’s time for us all to come together in her hour of need.

[Dramatic music]

Demon marlena: Well, well, well, the gang’s all here. Even the grandchildren. I suspect johnny is here to do some research for his movie.

Johnny: I’m here for my grandmother.

John: Johnny, don’t engage her.

Eric: Let’s begin.

Sami: [Mouthing words]

[Mouthing words]

Eric: Let’s join hands as we say the lord’s prayer.

All: Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread…

[Eerie tone] And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen!

Demon marlena: You can pray all you like, but nothing is going to bring back your precious marlena. She’s mine! She’s mine for eternity!

[Cackles]

[Laughing deepens]

[Chilling music]

Limu emu… & doug

Eric: May the blessings of our almighty god, the father, the son, and the holy spirit, come upon you and remain with you forever!

Demon marlena: [Screaming]

[Chilling music]

Sami: [Pants]

Demon marlena: [Cackling] Is that all you’ve got?

Belle: Oh my god, this is so much worse than I thought it was gonna be.

Demon marlena: Oh, belle, were you about to throw in the towel? I figured you’d be the first to fold. And, remember, you were the first to give up on your mother when she was in a coma. How’s your marriage? How many times have you betrayed your husband? You’re nothing but a cheap slut!

Sami: Don’t talk to her like that!

Demon marlena: Oh, my, it’s the professional slut defending the junior slut.

Eric: Don’t engage! Everyone, focus! Talk to her–talk to marlena. Speak to her. Pray to god that she will hear you.

Kayla: “Then, all at once, in the night sky, a vast number of glorious angels appeared– the very armies of heaven. And they all praised god, singing, ‘glory to god in the highest realms of heaven. For there is peace and good hope given to the songs of men.'” Yeah.

[Gentle music]

Lucas: God, please forgive me for what I did to sami. Please watch over her today. Watch over her today and watch over her and the rest of marlena’s family.

Demon marlena: Ahh!

All: Pray for us sinners…

Demon marlena: Ahh!

All: Mary, mother of god…

Demon marlena: Ahh!

All: Now and at the hour of our death, amen.

Demon marlena: Ahh!

Eric: The beast is getting weaker.

Demon marlena: Your united front is getting weaker. Your family is a sham. You’re always at war with yourself.

John: But we always pull together when it counts. And what counts most right now is all of our love for marlena!

Eric: Depart, transgressor! Depart!

John: This is it, doc. It’s now or never.

Eric: Depart, seducer, full of lies.

John: We need you to fight! We need you to come back to us!

Demon marlena: It’s too late!

Eric: The foe of virtue, persecutor of the innocent…

John: Look around you! Look into the faces of all of your family members! Remember how much you love them! Remember how much they love you!

Demon marlena: No!

John: Yes!

Eric: Give way, you monster. Give way to christ! For he has already stripped you of your powers, laid waste your kingdom, bound your prisoner, and plundered your weapons…

John: Oh lord, please remind marlena what is at stake!

Eric: He has cast you forth to the outer darkness!

John: Please remind her that we need her! Remind her that we love her!

[Emotional music]

Sami: I love you so much.

Marlena: I love you.

And I will delight in you… all the days of our lives.

Demon marlena: No! No!

John: Doc? Doc?

Marlena: John?

John: Doc, is it really you, honey?

Marlena: It’s me. It’s me.

[Cries softly] You saved me.

[Gentle music]

You all–you all saved me.

John: Thank you, god. Thank you, god.

All: [Laughing]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Brooke: You really are certifiable, aren’t you? Taylor may have opened the door to you just a crack, but I’m going to make sure that I slam that door, I lock it and I throw away the key. I’m going to make sure you come nowhere near my family, especially steffi, finn and hayes.

Sheila: Taylor finally gives me a chance at a life with finn and hayes. And brooke, thinks she’s gonna take that away from me. Well, no. No, she’s not. I will put a stop to brooke.

Brooke: Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Welcome home.

Ridge: If I’d known I’d get this kind of welcome, I’d left work hours ago.

Brooke: Oh, well just wait, that was nothing. I’m going to give you the most epic kiss on new year’S.

Ridge: New years. Yes… about that.

Brooke: Ridge, we invited family here, remember?

Ridge: No, I do remember, but something’s come up. I have to leave town.

Zende: Beautiful. Just like paris.

Paris: Carter!

Carter: Paris. Hey.

Paris: I have the end of the year reports for the forrester foundation.

Carter: Cool. How we do?

Paris: You tell me.

Carter: It’s very impressive.

Paris: And that means a lot coming from you, especially since you’re my new financial guru.

Paris: Don’t forget, you volunteered to be my investment guide.

Carter: I did, didn’t I.

Paris: I’m expecting to have billions by the time I’m 30.

Carter: Billions? Okay , well, I– well, I better get on that, huh?

Paris: You got time. As long as the years don’t fly by as quickly as this one did. I mean, wow.

Carter: I know, right? Can’t believe new year’s eve is right around the corner.

Paris: Yeah. You got anything fun planned?

Carter: Not really. Probably just chill at home on the couch. Maybe even research some stocks and bonds for you to invest in next year.

Paris: Wow, that’s pretty wild.

Carter: Maybe even look up some upcoming crypto.

Paris: Mmm, now you’re getting really crazy.

Carter: What about you? I assume you’ll be with zende.

Paris: Well, um…

Zende: There you are.

Zende: Zende. We were just talking about new year’S.

Zende: Yeah, it’s all coming together. I actually have something special planned for the two of us.

Brooke: It’s a holiday, ridge. What do you mean you’re leaving town?

Ridge: Finn’s asked us to dress his whole family. We’ve been working on these gowns for weeks.

Brooke: Yeah, I know. But usually you have them shipped out.

Ridge: Usually. But he wants us to be there, so we’re flying out tonight.

Brooke: We?

Ridge: We. Me and… you. Just grab some stuff. Put some things together, come on. I want to show you off.

Brooke: Oh. So, you think I’m still good enough to show off, huh?

Sheila: Brooke, you talk like you’re so perfect. You’ve never messed up in your life. Boy, I know better. I predict… we’re going to have very festive new year’s eve.

Paris: All he’s told me so far, is that he’d start the night off with a quiet dinner at el jardino.

Carter: Can’t go wrong with that.

Paris: Yeah, it is pretty much my favorite restaurant in beverly hills.

Carter: I bet it’ll be hard to get a reservation, though. It’s new year’s eve. What am I talking about. You’re zende forrester, you have so much clout. They’d probably shut the restaurant down for you.

Zende: Yeah, I don’t know about all that. But I did make a reservation a few weeks in advance, just in case. Got us a nice candlelit table on the patio.

Carter: Then let me guess, you guys hit up the clubs. Get that vip bottle service.

Zende: Actually, I was thinking about keeping it a little bit more low key. And you go back to my place or yours, and… ring in the new year. Just the two of us. Sound good?

Paris: Sounds perfect.

Zende: Great, great. And that’s just a little teaser of what’s to come– I’m gonna shut my mouth. I don’t wanna give away too much. But trust me when I say that the night will be full of surprises.

Paris: Can’t wait.

Zende: Me neither. Okay, I’m gonna leave you guys to it. I’m late for a design meeting, but I’ll– come find me later.

Paris: Okay.

Carter: Zende is really looking forward to your date.

Paris: Yeah.

Carter: I wonder what he meant by full of surprises, though.

Paris: I’m not sure. I mean, honestly… I don’t know, carter, but I’m just not ready.

Carter: Not ready for what?

Brooke: We already made plans with the kids. And as wonderful as it sounds, ridge, I’m just not up for leaving town right now.

Ridge: You don’t have to do anything. You don’t have to lift a finger. We got the jet, we got the hotel booked. All you need is a toothbrush.

Brooke: All I need is a toothbrush. This is the biggest gala of the year– and I don’t even have anything to wear.

Ridge: Oh… if only you knew a designer. We’ve got a whole warehouse full of gowns. We’ll take 10, 20 of them. We’ll do whatever adjustments we have to make on the plane. It’s all done.

Brooke: You know how these parties are. They go on and on. Yes, they’re wonderful and they’re beautiful and they’re glorious. But… people are partying and dancing and drinking till sunrise.

Ridge: I will not drink a drop, out of solidarity to your sobriety. How about that? And if we really don’t like it or it’s too hard, then we’ll leave.

Brooke: That’s sweet. I do appreciate that. But it’s not… about just that, I– I was looking forward to spending time with hope and the grandkids. I’m sorry. I hate to disappoint you. And I think it sounds great, taking a spontaneous trip like that. But the kids were so excited. I told them I had all these activities planned and all these games for them to play. And they were so excited. They’re looking forward to ringing in the new year.

Ridge: Okay. It’S… I just was looking forward to taking a trip with you. You know?

Brooke: We will, you know. Maybe next time.

Ridge: Yeah. Can’t blame a guy for trying.

Brooke: I think you should go, though. I mean, he is really a good client, right? And he is one of your best friends, and… you spent all this energy making these… exquisite looks for the ball. So…. you should go. I just hate to think that we’d be apart on new year’S. Okay everyone,

Paris: Don’t get me wrong. Zende is a sweet guy, and he treats me so well.

Carter: Of course he does. He’s very into you, paris. Everyone can tell.

Paris: And I’m into him too. He makes me smile. We have a great time when we were together. I appreciate the way that he makes me feel.

Carter: I’m sure he’d say the same thing about you. Look, zende, he probably won’t admit it, but.. he was an emotional wreck when he got back from france. He was totally gutted by the falling apart of his marriage, and… I don’t think he was really looking for another relationship. Not really, and then he met you.

Paris: Yeah. We started off as friends, and then it progressed into this. I mean, it all felt so natural.

Carter: Now you’re the it couple. It’s like you guys are getting more deeply involved by the day.

Paris: I guess so.

Carter: What do you mean, you guess so? You’re invited to thanksgiving, to christmas. The forresters, they love you.

Paris: I know, and their support means the world to me. Seeing zende has been great. But… anything beyond that?

Carter: Anything beyond what?

Paris: I mean, look at me, carter. I am young and free and I’m an independent woman. Yes, zende and I have been dating, but… I’m not looking for anything beyond that. And I’m certainly not ready for some big commitment.

Ridge: I hate the idea of being away from you too.

Brooke: I know, but you have a work commitment and you don’t want to let your friend down. And I understand that. And thank you for understanding my side too.

Ridge: Of course, I get it. You don’t want to break a promise. You want to be there for the kids. You want… sparklers. They want all of it. Yeah. It’s going to be fun. We’re gonna probably celebrate in new york time, right? ‘Cause they’re not gonna stay up till midnight.

Ridge: You know what? Fall asleep around 10. Hang on a second. I’ll tell you what. I’m gonna talk to the frenchman, tell him that I need to be here. For new years with my beautiful wife.

Brooke: Oh ridge, you don’t have to cut your trip short.

Ridge: I don’t have to. I want to. I want to be here with you. That’s what we’re doing.

Brooke: Yeah?

Ridge: Yeah.

Brooke: That’s a wonderful compromise.

Ridge: Okay.

Brooke: I love it.

Ridge: I’m sure the prince will understand and everyone’s happy.

Brooke: Okay.

Ridge: Okay.

Brooke: Then it’s settled.

Ridge: Yes.

Brooke: Oh, there’s something that I wanted to tell you. I ran into sheila.

Ridge: Oh, fun.

Brooke: Yeah, it was fun. She told me that, uh… she went to steffi’s for christmas and that taylor invited her. I mean, what was she thinking?

Ridge: She told me the same thing, and, um… I’m pretty sure taylor had her reasons.

Brooke: Oh, really? What reasons?

Ridge: She’s trying to find out sheila’s mental state.

Brooke: Hmm. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out that she’s crazy.

Ridge: No.

Brooke: That kind of person never gets reformed. So, when I ran into her at el jardino–

Ridge: El jardino? You got pasta without me? That’s not right.

Brooke: No, no, no. I went there to get a non-alcoholic bottle of champagne for new year’s, the one that eric served at christmas. It was so good. And I was gonna ask the bartender, but… deacon was there. Filling in for him when he was sick.

Ridge: Why? Why? Why do you have to– just stay away from deacon and sheila. If you want champagne, I’ll find you champagne.

Brooke: I know. I didn’t expect to run into her like that. And deacon told me that he had nothing to do with her. But I was very strong with sheila. I stood my ground. I told her as long as I was around, she was going to have nothing to do with our family, especially steffi, finn and hayes.

Shelia: Brooke thinks she could keep me away from my son and my grandson? Think again. Hi, my name is cherrie.

Zende: What?

Carter: So, what exactly are you getting at?

Paris: What?

Carter: When you say you’re not ready for a huge commitment.

Paris: All I’m saying is I’m digging where zende and i are right now.

Carter: Right. But you have the feeling he wants to get more serious.

Paris: I’m not implying that zende is going to propose to me or anything crazy like that. There’s no way. We haven’t been dating for that long. And he’s young too. He has a career. He has beautiful women complimenting in 24/7.

Carter: I don’t think he’s interested in anyone else, paris. He is more than happy and excited to be with you.

Paris: Yea his loyalty to me.

Carter: However…

Paris: Any girl would be begging to be in a relationship with a guy like zende. But I… simply just don’t want to progress this into something super committed. At least not for now. I’d like to keep it more casual. Does that make me a bad person?

Carter: Of course not. I do think you owe it to zende, to explain how you feel, though.

Paris: Yeah, you’re right. The last thing I want to do is hurt him.

Ridge: I don’t want you to keep worrying about sheila and deacon.

Brooke: Well, I don’t want to worry either. But I can’t let that woman anywhere near our lives.

Ridge: I get it. I agree with you. We gotta be protective of the kids, of our lives too. You just gotta be careful. That’s all.

Brooke: Thank you. You always make me feel safe.

Ridge: I have to. You’re my… hot, irresistible wife. Now, I don’t want to go at all. I want to stay here because I don’t want deacon and sheila just hovering around us.

Brooke: Oh, stop. Don’t worry about them. Just go and enjoy yourself, and you’ll be back before you know it.

Ridge: Okay. I will tell the pilot to get me here in plenty of time because I don’t want my wife to be alone on new year’S.

Brooker: Aww. Oh, I’m so lucky to have such a wonderful husband.

Ridge: I’ll be home before you know it.

Brooke: And I’ll be right here waiting for you.

Ridge: Yeah?

Brooke: Yes.

Sheila: Huh. Non-alcoholic is really not too bad. I’ve got taylor willing to give me another chance, what a wonderful woman. And brooke, on the other hand… you know, I hear the holidays can be really difficult… on alcoholics. Alcohol free or the real stuff? Brooke is never gonna know the difference.

Chance: Yeah, it was a — was a special holiday, one we’ll never forget.

Adam: Yeah, absolutely. Well, I’m glad that you’re back home, safe and healthy.

Chance: I appreciate that. We must have just missed you at the ranch. We stopped by to drop off some gifts, see nikki and victor.

Adam: I’m sorry.

Chance: About what?

Adam: Well, I was gonna attend your welcome home party, but…

Chance: I understand.

Adam: No, we were gonna come by the house and bring some gifts, but honestly, I didn’t know if I was someone you wanted to see.

Elena: Sharon. Just the person I was looking for.

Sharon: Oh, well, that phrase can sound ominous, but coming from you, sounds like a delightful invitation.

Elena: Yeah, I keep missing you. Our schedules this holiday season haven’t aligned.

Sharon: It’s such a hectic time of the year. I hope you and nate had a nice christmas.

Elena: We did. Actually, that is part of the reason why I wanted to talk to you. But I didn’t want to do it over the phone.

Sharon: Oh, what’s going on?

Elena: I have to give notice on the apartment upstairs.

Sharon: What? Is everything okay?

Elena: Yeah, everything’s great, actually. Nate and I decided to move in together.

Sharon: [ Gasps ]

Devon: Hi.

Nate: Hey.

Devon: What are you doing, man? Figured you’d be clearing stuff out of your place to make room for elena.

Nate: [ Laughs ]

Devon: No, I’m not implying anything. I’m saying it.

Nate: Well, I’ll have you know that I just dropped off several bags of clothes at the new hope donation center.

Devon: Oh, wow. That’s very nice of you. Did you get rid of those ugly purple lamps you have?

Nate: No, those were expensive. I kept them.

Devon: However much you paid, they ripped you off. Elena’s gonna throw those things away the first day she gets there.

Nate: I am so glad I came by here to check in on you, so i could get critiqued about my interior decorating skills.

Devon: Well, why’d you feel the need to come and check on me?

Nate: Because you seemed down at christmas dinner. A bit distracted. And we know that’s not like you on the holidays. So thought I’d come by, see how you were doing. I brought in ensure max protein,

Devon: I mean, I may have been a little bit distracted.

Nate: A little? Seems like your mind was someplace else the whole day.

Devon: Nah, I mean, it was — I’ve just been thinking about dominic a lot and how it’s his first christmas and all that, you know? I’m surprised you noticed anything, as much as you guys were talking about moving in together.

Nate: We weren’t that bad. Does it bother you, elena and i moving in together

Devon: Should it? I’m just messing with you. No, it doesn’t bother me at all. I’m very happy — happy that you guys are happy and that we’ve moved past everything that’s happened. It’s good news. It’s a good way to start the new year.

Nate: Amen to that. So you were saying it was dominic, the reason why you were distracted at christmas.

Devon: Yeah, that’s right.

Nate: Does having this footprints in your living room help with that distraction or make it worse?

Devon: I mean, it’s just a thoughtful gift that abby got me.

Nate: Okay. I was just asking. I mean, we haven’t had a one-on-one since the baby went back home. How are you doing with that?

Devon: I’m doing alright. It’s an adjustment, but he belongs with his mom and dad, so…

Nate: Come on, man. You just gave me the correct answer. But I know that’s not how you really feel about all this.

Devon: You do? You think I’m lying?

Nate: No, no, but maybe you haven’t really had a chance to examine how you feel about this.

Devon: Oh, no, I have, for sure. I know exactly how I feel. I miss him.

Nate: Okay, what exactly do you miss? The diaper changes, the late-night feedings? Total sleep deprivation?

Devon: Everything. Everything that you could list, I miss it. And I can’t help it. From the day that dominic was born, I felt a connection to him, and him staying with me just made that connection even stronger. Kind of changed the way I felt about the whole situation. I’m struggling a little bit with just not having a more constant role in his life right now.

Nate: In that case, I think you should do something about it.

Abby: Just a month ago, i wasn’t sure if chance was ever gonna get to meet his son. It’s such a miracle that he’s back with us.

Chelsea: Oh. I want to believe in miracles like yours, but I’m not quite sure my return to genoa city will have the same kind of happy ending.

Abby: You went through a rough patch. You were in a rough place for a while, but that’s behind you now, right?

Chelsea: Uh, I’d like to think the worst part is behind, but I still face my fair share of challenges. I’m not sure how people are gonna react to me being back. Maybe I haven’t burned every bridge, but I certainly set a few fires.

Abby: I think people will forgive you.

Chelsea: I don’t know. I mean, I wasn’t even certain i was gonna come back. In the past, people were willing to forgive my lapses in judgment. I don’t know. I don’t know if they’re gonna be willing to forgive me. Regardless, as long as I can spend time with my son, if I’m shunned by a few people in genoa city, so be it.

Abby: Well, I think you made the right choice. You should be here with your son, and no one in this town, especially my family, should be judging you. And if anyone gives you a hard time, let me know.

Chelsea: Really? You’re gonna be my defender?

Abby: Oh, absolutely. So how does it feel to be back here?

Chelsea: It’s an adjustment. There are some bad memories, but christmas was nice.

Abby: Just you and connor?

Chelsea: And adam.

Abby: Oh.

Chelsea: Yeah, we thought it would be nice for connor to spend the holidays with both his parents. He was so happy, so it was definitely the right decision.

Abby: You know, I have to admit, I’m impressed with the way adam’s turned his life around.

Chelsea: Yeah, he’s really great with connor, and he’s been surprisingly considerate with me. I wasn’t expecting that.

Abby: So what does that mean for the two of you as a couple? Any possibilities?

Chance: Thank you. Yeah, the party was a bit of a blur. You know, I had just gotten back, wasn’t fully recovered, so it was a little overwhelming. Not gonna lie. I was being welcomed back for being a hero, but sure didn’t feel that way.

Adam: You mean I could’ve told you I was at the party and you wouldn’t remember whether i was there or not?

Chance: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, I suppose that’s true.

Adam: Well, I hope you and abby had a merry christmas with the baby.

Chance: Yeah, yeah. Thank you. It was a special one.

Adam: Mm. Connor actually has a gift for him. Maybe we could stop by sometime.

Chance: Yeah. Yeah, it’d be good to see connor. Abby would like that. Whenever you get a chance, come by. I hear you’re pretty busy these days, though, huh? Newman media.

Adam: That’s right.

Chance: Alright. And abby said that you had to step up and play the single parent when chelsea was gone. Looks like you’ve made some changes in life. Probably for the better.

Adam: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Well, that’s nice of abby to paint me in a positive light, but I’m sure you still have your doubts. I mean, last time we saw each other, you said we couldn’t be friends anymore.

Chance: Yeah, I remember.

Adam: Look, honestly, i deserved that, and I’m trying hard to redeem myself. I can’t right my wrongs, but i can just try to be a better person.

Chance: And how’s that going?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Well, I think. Got a long way to go, but I’ve made a lot of progress, especially with my family. There’s a lot of people in genoa city I have to earn their trust again. You’re at the top of that list.

Chance: No, you don’t owe me anything.

Adam: Well, how about a cup of coffee? How about we start with that?

Chance: I should probably get out of here, man. Abby’s waiting. You know what? I got time. It’s the holidays. Why not?

Itchy?

Adam: Thank you. So are you completely settled back in?

Chance: No, no, not quite, not quite. Still a little disorienting being back. Not gonna lie. It’s like going to the movie during the day. You know, you spend two hours in the theater, in the dark, in this, you know, world where you’re fighting aliens or whatever, and then when it’s over, you got to come out, back into the sunlight, back to reality.

Adam: Hmm.

Chance: Takes some time to adjust, I guess.

Adam: You gonna go back to the police department?

Chance: Taking it slow. I met with paul and rey the other day. They, uh — they want me to take my time. For once, I agree with them.

Adam: That seems smart. Well, your mission must have been difficult. I read a little bit about it, but those stories are usually a little short on details.

Chance: Well, that’s for everyone’s protection.

Adam: Mm. I know how difficult it was for you to go undercover in vegas.

Chance: I don’t want to talk about spain, adam. Maybe someday, but not now. All I want to focus on now is getting to know my son.

Chelsea: We definitely put each other through the worst, but somehow we’re still standing.

Abby: Getting through a traumatic experience and surviving, it can be stressful, but it can also build resilience.

Chelsea: Yeah. I’ve been trying to put my past behind me. Dwelling on it doesn’t help me or the people I harmed.

Abby: Adam’s changed, too. Maybe there’s a chance for the two of you to rebuild something.

Chelsea: That would be hard. But you never know.

Abby: I get it. But I do think it’s a step in the right direction that you co-parent so well together. And if I have learned anything the past few months, it’s the importance of family and unity. I’m not just talking about chance being back with dominic. It’s all of the relatives and friends that loved and supported me, it really helped me get through the whole ordeal.

Chelsea: Yeah. Well, it’s nice to have people that care around you.

Abby: Yeah. You know, I have loved catching up with you. We have to do it again soon.

Chelsea: Absolutely, for sure.

Abby: I’m gonna go talk to the chef about our new year’s eve menu, hopefully before this little guy gets cranky.

Chelsea: Great. I’ll be in touch. We’ll find a time to get together.

Abby: Let’s go, my man. Let’s do it.

Chelsea: Bye, cutie!

Abby: Say bye! Bye.

Sharon: That is such an amazing way to start the new year.

Elena: Oh, we think so.

Sharon: So, has this been in the works for a while?

Elena: No, actually. Nate just kind of asked me out of the blue, but things have been going so well, so I just give it a minute to think about.

Sharon: And, you know, you’re so analytical, I’m sure you looked at it from every angle.

Elena: Maybe I did. But it all made sense, so I said yes.

Sharon: [ Sighs ] I’m so happy for the both of you.

Elena: Thank you. I mean, I still have a couple of concerns. I mean, I’m a little worried about the overlap between private life and work.

Sharon: Yeah, but you already had that.

Elena: Yeah, but nate is technically my boss at the hospital.

Sharon: You’re in love. Stop making problems where there are none.

Elena: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, that’s the conclusion i eventually came to. I’m not willing to give up my job, and I’m not willing to give up nate. I mean, I love them both, so the world is just gonna have to deal with it.

Sharon: Ha! I’m so excited for both of you. And you know what? Don’t worry, every relationship has an issue or two that needs to be resolved, but at least you two know what your issue is already.

Elena: Oh, yeah. Finding balance between work and romance with the person that you spend 24 hours in a day with.

[ Chuckles ] I mean, I just — I don’t want to go home and talk about work — you know, cases and patients — over dinner.

Sharon: You know what? I have a little bit of advice for you if you want to hear it.

Devon: Yeah, I would love to play a bigger role in dominic’s life. Of course I would. I just don’t think that I need to do anything about it right now, ’cause as it stands, I can go and visit him any time i want. Abby made me his godfather, and I just — I just got done spending a bunch of time with dominic, so I think that now that chance is home, they need to take this time to bond.

Nate: I get that, but…i still think you should talk to them about spending more time with dominic. Make it official somehow.

Devon: Make it official. Amanda suggested that same thing to me, but I-I just don’t know if that’s the move right now. I really don’T. I don’t think inserting myself into their lives legally or anything like that is gonna help them heal from everything they’ve been through. And I went into this whole situation eyes wide open. I knew what to expect.

Nate: Okay, but you’ve developed a real attachment to dominic.

Devon: I know that, but it’s that attachment that makes me want to do what’s best for him. And I don’t feel like catching abby and chance off guard with something like this is what’s best.

Nate: I respect your concern for their family, but I think you have a spot in that same family. When you went into this arrangement, you didn’t expect to be the one delivering the baby or that abby would just leave him with you.

Devon: I mean, she didn’t abandon him.

Nate: I’m just saying, there have been unanticipated challenges outside of the original arrangement. And you’ve been supportive throughout. I think you’ve earned a right to spend more time with dominic, and most importantly, dominic will thrive with your continued love and support.

Unleash the freshness…

Chloe: So, how was christmas with connor?

Chelsea: It was perfect.

Chloe: That’s so great. Even with adam?

Chelsea: Yes. It was civil and pleasant. Connor was just happy to have both of us with him.

Chloe: I love to hear that. I’m just so happy to have you back.

Chelsea: Me too. Now let’s get to work.

Chloe: Yes.

Chelsea: What is the latest with the fashion platform?

Chloe: Okay, so we’ve been focused on creating content — articles highlighting some up-and-coming designers, trends, some photo layouts. So we’re about to start up our video production.

Chelsea: That’s great.

Chloe: But what I really want to get back into is design and sales. That’s the dream. And coincidentally, that’s what we do so well together.

Chelsea: Yeah, I’m excited to get back into designing, too. I’ve been working on some ideas, sketching out some looks.

Chloe: Great, that’s what i want to hear. We are in sync. Aren’t we? Are you having some concerns? Is that why you wanted to meet?

Chelsea: I had an interesting afternoon with adam and sally right before christmas.

Chloe: Oh. How did that happen and why wasn’t I invited?

Chelsea: It was here. I bumped into them having drinks. Adam invited me to join them.

Chloe: Well, that sounds promising. And professional. How did it go?

Chelsea: I can see why you hired her. She’s smart. Ambitious.

Chloe: Well, I am so glad that’s what you picked up on.

Chelsea: But she’s also a handful. There was definitely a sense of competition in the air.

Chloe: Maybe you misinterpreted —

Chelsea: No, no, she was trying to top my ideas while we were brainstorming.

Chloe: Okay, well, a little healthy competition isn’t a bad thing.

Chelsea: Yeah, healthy being the key word there. She was definitely trying to impress adam.

Chloe: He is the boss.

Chelsea: I guess, but it made me realize that if she’s gonna work for this company, I’m gonna have to make something clear to you. In order for me to be able to work with sally, I’m gonna have to be the boss. And I’m gonna need it in my contract.

Sally: Hi.

Tessa: Hello.

Sally: I’m sally spectra. We met at the newman wedding in tuscany.

Tessa: Yes, I remember.

Sally: Your performance that evening was amazing. I am such a huge fan.

Tessa: Well, thank you.

Sally: I get it. Nobody in this town is ever happy to see me, and that was reinforced over christmas, which I spent alone, so I’m trying to reach out and make some connections to people that i admire and respect.

Tessa: Oh. Am I one of those people?

Sally: Yes. I was a fan of yours way before the wedding. I actually remember seeing you on gc buzz for getting in trouble for taking some of the lines from mariah’s diary, putting them into a hit song.

Tessa: Well, that was a long time ago.

Sally: Yeah, but I felt a connection to you then. I —

[ Sighs ] You were maligned for doing exactly what an artist does, taking words and thoughts and turning them into something more meaningful, no matter where they came from or who the inspiration was.

Tessa: Well, thank you for that.

Sally: I mean, that’s all everyone can ever hope to be, right? Someone that channels their strengths as well as their flaws into making the world a better place. Which is exactly why I feel a kinship with you, ’cause that’s exactly what I try to do with my fashion designs.

Tessa: So you’re comparing your dresses and my songs.

Sally: Yes.

Adam: You know, I missed a lot of time with connor, and it hurt. When I came back, I mistakenly focused on all the things i wasn’t there for instead of enjoying my time with him.

Chance: Yeah, jack said something similar about kyle. Said he actually mourned all those things that he — that he missed, but I — I don’t know, man, it just feels different for me. I should’ve been here.

Adam: Every father thinks that.

Chance: I know, but I was thousands of miles away, thinking I was saving the world from bad guys, when I should’ve been here, protecting my family. I mean, you think that guy would’ve tried to kidnap mariah if I was here?

Adam: Look, I know all too well that guilt just keeps you rooted in the past. That stuff’s not gonna miraculously go away. You have to move forward. You have to focus on the future. That is the only way to get past what is holding you back. And dominic is your future. So just focus on the day-to-day stuff with him. Feed him, change him, give him a bath. That’s how you’ll create that bond.

Chance: I wish it would work like that, but…

Adam: But what?

Chance: [ Sighs ] It doesn’t matter. I’m just trying to take this one day at a time.

Adam: Chance, I am serious. Learn from my mistakes.

Chance: I appreciate the coffee, man. Abby’s waiting for me. I got to run. With downy infusions, let the scent set the mood.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Tessa: Most of my songs are about mariah and I’s relationship. Of course, with her permission.

Sally: That’s so romantic.

Tessa: Yeah, I don’t really write about personal experiences. It’s more about the emotions that I feel.

Sally: No, exactly, that’s — I channeled all of my feelings into wanting to get back on top after being counted out into my designs for victoria’s wedding dress.

Tessa: Oh, interesting. I kind of thought the whole point of a bridal gown was capturing the bride’s essence, not the designer’S.

Sally: No, you’re right. It is about the bride, but ambition is a trait that victoria and I both share.

Tessa: I’ll give you that.

Sally: You know, I — i always thought it would be really cool to design the wardrobe for a singer to wear on tour. It would give me complete freedom to be wild and outrageous. Is that something you would ever be interested in?

Tessa: You know, I normally just wear normal clothes on stage. I’m not really the “sequined bodysuit, thigh-high boot” type.

Sally: Well, I could come up with something that fits your personality, and since we are both fighters, I think that would be a really good jumping-off point.

Noah: Am I late?

Tessa: I was early.

Sally: I was just telling tessa how amazing she is and trying to convince her that we have a lot of similarities as artists and that we should work together in the future. So thank you very much for showing up and stopping me from embarrassing myself any further.

Tessa: Oh, being fawned over isn’t embarrassing.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Noah: Well, sally, we actually have some work to do on her album cover, so if you can excuse us.

Sally: [ Gasps ] A new album? Can I get a sneak peek?

Noah: Not really ready for public consumption.

Sally: Okay, then. Well, I will be going. It was really great to see you both.

Noah: That one’s trouble. Did you hear what she did to summer and kyle?

Tessa: Yes, I know what she did, and so does everyone else in this town. She’s desperate to make friends. I mean, she was trying really hard with me.

Noah: Yeah, she’s probably working some kind of angle. I’m glad you saw through it.

Tessa: I just think she’s lonely. I feel bad for her. I mean, she’s been ostracized by everyone in gc.

Noah: Good. I think it’s what she deserves for what she did to summer. Tess, I know you like to take in strays, but…I think you should stay away from this one.

Tessa: Look, I’m not trying to become her new best friend. I just know what it’s like to be an outsider. I have empathy for her. She spent christmas alone. Isn’t that kind of sad?

Noah: Yeah, it’s sad, but, you know, she brought it on herself.

Tessa: I know. But I was in that spot once, and eventually everyone got to know me and realized what I was about. And now I have a life that i never could have imagined, so all I’m saying is maybe we shouldn’t be so quick to judge.

Sharon: I think that you should think of you house as a respite from everything that’s going on at the hospital, and I realize it’s not realistic to never talk about work when you’re at home, but you could still make an effort. You could have a designated evening where you definitely don’t talk about the hospital.

Elena: Yeah, that’s gonna be tough because we both love practicing medicine. And it’s such a huge part of both of our lives, but you’re right. I think we need to find a specific time where we won’t talk about work.

Sharon: Yeah. And the other thing I recommend is to make your home a place for both of you. You’re moving in to nate’s house, and that can be tricky.

Elena: I hadn’t thought of that.

Sharon: Do you have some things of yours that you want to bring as you combine your lives together? And is he willing to give up some of his stuff to make space for you?

Elena: Yes, we talked about that, and he is actually clearing space as we speak.

Sharon: Good. See, the important thing is that you don’t look at this as you’re moving in to nate’s place. You have to think of it this way — you two are creating a home together. And maybe you can even go out and buy a couple of new things, see if that helps freshen it up.

Elena: Yeah, you know, he has these two purple lamps that i cannot wait to get rid of.

Sharon: Oh, that’s a start.

Elena: [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] Man, I was a little worried about this new adventure, but after talking to you, I feel really excited about this new home nate and I are creating together.

Devon: Well, thank you for coming by.

Nate: Are you sure you don’t want to come by my place, help rearrange some furniture?

Devon: No, I’m all set. Thank you. But I do appreciate the advice you gave me. I value your opinion.

Nate: One last suggestion. I think you should go to abby, explain to her how attached you are to dominic, and that you’d like to play a more active role in his life. I think it’d be good for everyone involved.

Devon: Yeah, no, I mean, i agree with you. And I appreciate hearing your perspective, ’cause I was starting to feel like wanting to see dominic more was selfish of me. But you’ve made me think about things a little differently.

Nate: Think about it this way — abby loves dom with all her heart, right?

Devon: Of course.

Nate: Then she’ll want to do whatever brings more love into his life. And there’s no question you have a lot of love to give. Think on it.

Devon: Thanks, man.

Abby: No, no, no, no. No. It’s new year’s eve. I need the lobsters and the oysters. This is very important, but i can’t do this right now. I’m gonna have to call you back.

Chance: Need some help?

Abby: Well, I need a new seafood supplier. Can you help me with that?

Chance: Uh, no, but I can take him off your hands for a little while. Let me take him home.

Abby: Are you sure?

Chance: Yeah, yeah, I’ll feed him, put him down for a nap, have a little father-son time, right?

Abby: Yeah, but you haven’t —

Chance: I got it, I got it. Alright? You’ve trained me well. It’s time for me to fly solo, right? Isn’t that right? That’s right. You’re smiling now. You kind of want to go, don’t you? Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

Noah: I’m always impressed at your big, generous heart, even if it is directed towards people who don’t deserve it.

Tessa: Thank you, I think.

Noah: I really hope i captured that quality in your album cover. Here, take a look. I got rid of the image that mariah thought was so offensive.

Tessa: [ Chuckles ] Well, thank you. That will save me some grief at home.

Noah: I think we’re ready to take it to devon.

Tessa: Wow. I mean, I love it, even more than I thought I would. You know why I love this even more? It’s that I will always associate this with mariah.

Noah: Why is that?

Tessa: Because I was thinking of her when you took the shot.

Noah: That explains why you were so content and glowing. I guess love will do that to a person.

Tessa: It really does. Mariah and I are talking about having a baby of our own.

Noah: Wow. That’s, um… that’s great. That’s great. I’m really happy for you guys. If that’s what you both want to do.

Tessa: Yeah, no, it definitely is. I mean, mariah is in a way better place and seems like she could focus on our family, and…and I’m ready.

Noah: It’s a big step.

Tessa: It is. But, you know, our conversations about mariah and our relationship, it really helped, so you deserve some of the credit for helping me get there.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh. Oh, that’s her. Well, she’s got a break, so I’m gonna grab some coffee from crimson lights and meet her in the park.

Noah: Sounds fun. Tell her I’m excited to be an uncle.

Tessa: I will. And the cover looks amazing. Send it to devon. Okay? Thank you, noah, for everything.

Chance: You don’t want it? Tell me what to do, dom. How do I feed you? What do I do here?

[ Doorbell rings ] You want the bottle. Come in, it’s open! No bottle. Come on. Get the bottle. Take the bottle. Take it. Hey, man.

Devon: Hey. Is everything alright?

Chance: I can’t get him to take the bottle.

Sharon: Hey, you.

Tessa: Yeah, bye. Hi, how’s it going?

Sharon: Well, my day is just full of opportunities.

Tessa: Ooh, sounds intriguing. Um, thank you for asking me to join you for christmas dinner.

Sharon: Of course. It wouldn’t be the same without you. You’re part of the family.

Tessa: Um, well, I’m actually going to go see mariah, so I’m here to pick up her favorite drink.

Sharon: You two really like the coffee here a lot better than the hotel room service, right?

Tessa: Yeah, absolutely.

Sharon: And, you know, it just really killed me to think of you two waking up on christmas morning in a cold, impersonal hotel room.

Tessa: I mean, I was okay with it. I used to spend the holidays living in cars, so felt like i was living large.

Sharon: In a hotel? I mean, nothing there belongs to you. And then if you were gonna start a family…

Tessa: What are you trying to sell me?

Sharon: What would you think about you and mariah moving in to the apartment upstairs here?

Chelsea: Hey. Good news. Chloe and I worked out the details of my contract. I should officially be on board very soon.

Adam: I’m pleased that you’re joining the team. I’m sure that you will do great things here.

Chelsea: Thank you.

Adam: Um, I’m actually happy that you came by.

[ Sighs ] I know that you have wanted to have a conversation…about where things stand with us, and we haven’t been really able to talk privately because we’ve been with connor.

Chelsea: Mm, don’t forget our awkward three-way date with sally.

Adam: I was thinking about the present you gave me, the painting of the lake house.

Chelsea: What about it?

Adam: Well, there’s some significance to it, which wasn’t lost on me. What were you trying to tell me with that gift?

Chelsea: [ Clears throat ] Only that I miss that time. When we first moved in there. Do you remember what it was like? Before sharon?

Adam: I do.

Chelsea: Do you ever miss it?

[ Knock on door ]

Noah: Hey, there was no one at reception, but I — sorry, is this a — this a bad time?

[Music: “I swear”]

Noah: I’m sorry, I just came by to talk about the job, but i can come by another time or maybe make an appointment.

Chelsea: I didn’t know you were working here. I love that idea. Connor’s gonna be so jealous when he realizes I get to work with you. I really appreciate all the time you spent with him playing hockey on christmas eve.

Noah: No, it was tons of fun. He’s a great, in spite of his old man.

Chelsea: Oh.

Adam: You know, I take abuse like this from noah because i know it’s not as mean-spirited as it would have been a year or two ago.

Noah: Oh, well, that’s because he is not as mean-spirited as he would have been a year or two ago.

Adam: Alright, now you are pushing it, okay?

Chelsea: Well, connor’s gonna be angling for another hockey lesson.

Noah: Oh, any time. I’d love that.

Chelsea: Thank you.

Adam: I’ll have my assistant reach out to set something up so we can talk.

Noah: Got it. Alright, thank you. See you, chelsea.

Chelsea: Bye.

Adam: [ Sighs ] So, about the painting…

Chelsea: Forget the painting, okay? Maybe that was a mistake, giving it to you. I don’t want you reading so much into it, okay? I saw it, I thought of you, i thought about our time on the lake. It was not any kind of intention to put pressure on you.

Adam: I don’t feel any pressure. And, yes, chelsea, I do have fond memories of that time. But like I said before, we can’t get those back. And we just have to accept that what he had is over and we have to move on.

Chelsea: Agreed, but we are moving on as parents, mom and dad, to connor. And spending all this time together the past few days made me realize I made the right choice coming back to genoa city. I mean, connor’s so happy.

Adam: Yeah, he hasn’t been like this in a while.

Chelsea: I’m hoping the three of us can spend as much time together this week while he’s on break.

Tessa: Well, I can’t think of a reason not to move in to the apartment upstairs.

[ Laughs ] Yes, yes, I know you love room service, but we can always just come grab a drink down here. Okay. Yeah, I’ll tell her. We’ll take it!

Sharon: Yay! That makes me so happy. Okay, I promise not to hover, but I am gonna give you special treatment, I mean, as tenants here. I’m gonna make sure that all of your favorites are set out in the morning before mariah goes to work and you go to the studio.

Tessa: Well, I, for one, am looking forward to it. Oh. Just thank you. Thank you so much, sharon. You have done so much for mariah and me, and you’ve been so supportive of our relationship.

Sharon: That’s sweet.

Tessa: I didn’t have anyone in my corner for such a long time, and now I’m a part of this big, beautiful family and we have holiday dinners and you support my music and my dreams. It just — it just means so much to me.

[ Voice breaking ] Everyone should have that.

Sharon: Oh.

Chance: Abby had some things to take care of at society, so i thought I’d bring him home and feed him, but as you can see, I’m having a hard time.

Devon: What have you tried doing?

Chance: Everything, man. I gave him the bottle, the pacifier. I changed his diaper. I even tried to walk him outside. I did the little thing that abby told me. Is he sick? Is this, like, a sick thing? Should I call the doctor?

Devon: No, no, no. I don’t think he’s sick. It’s just — I think he’s tired.

Chance: He isn’t going to sleep.

Devon: Because he’s a baby, you know? He gets fussy and you need to calm him down.

Chance: You got something that’ll make him eat?

Dominic: [ Crying ]

Devon: I don’t have any tricks, but let me try.

Chance: Here you go.

Dominic: [ Crying ]

Chance: It’s okay. Hey, it’s okay, bud.

Devon: Hey, hey, hey.

Dominic: [ Crying ]

Devon: It’s okay. Hey.

Dominic: [ Wailing ]

Devon: Hey, hey.

[ Speaking indistinctly ]

Dominic: [ Wailing ]

Devon: I know you don’t want that. Okay, okay. Let’s get you up. Let’s get you up and let’s just relax. There you go. There you go. It’s okay, buddy.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

a reflection that last monday of 2021. Is this hot enough for you?

[ Breathing heavily ] I have been single for way too long.

[ Grunts, panting ] If this is what staying in shape in 2022 feels like, I might have to consider confinement again. Supposed to be a nice, total-body workout. Yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah, it’s supposed to get you nice and limber, which is weird because I don’t think I can get up.

[ Laughs ] Well, forget being limber, man. That was torture. Pure torture and nothing worse. Really? Nothing? What are these for? These, dr. Johnson… nurse johnson. …Are an expression of gratitude…

[ Chuckles ] …For sharing your dulcet tones with me, the staff, and the patients of general hospital. Now… when can we do it again?

[ Chuckles ] Oh. Ooh. Hi, curtis. Hey, maxie. Oh, hi, chase. Excuse me. Maxie, what are — hey. What are you doing? How was class? It was exhausting. Yeah, that’s one reason I hate hot yoga. You probably are dehydrated. Yeah, probably. So, um…how’s bailey? Oh, bailey, she’s — she’s amazing. Yeah? Yeah, she’s doing this new thing where she feeds herself. Or she’s trying to, which makes for a hilarious and very messy mealtime. Oh, I would love to see that. You should come by the house. I say like I live at the quartermaines’.

[ Chuckles ] Um, I’m actually headed there now, as long as brook lynn doesn’t have a problem with it. Why would she? You never know with her lately. I’ll see you around. Yeah, see ya. Ooh, they should really air this place out after these hot yoga classes. What? I’m sorry. You mean the nose of deception can’t smell how dank it is in here? I hadn’t noticed. Mm. Where’s lucy? Oh, well… we had just ordered breakfast, and she bolted. Something about exercise, I think. You don’t say.

[ Fork clatters ] Alright. Go on. What? You are sitting there dying to flex your sisterly muscles and to warn me off the delightful ms. Coe. Nope. Unh-unh. I-I don’t have any sisterly advice for you at all. Nope. In fact, I have to go focus on being a grandmother. I wonder what I should pack for our cabin getaway. I mean, does sonny’s place have a hot tub or a sauna? I don’t know. I’ve never been to uncle sonny’s cabin. Besides, don’t you think it’s a little early to think about packing? I’m just excited. Aren’t you? It’s a little hard to get excited about a trip knowing that as soon as it’s over, so is my life. Do you vow to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you god? I do.


Trouble at the mall? Hmm. Oh, what fun it is to laugh. The holiday spirit lingers this year, not that it had anything to do with you. What is it now? “What is it now?” Well, let me put it this way, I guess my gift must’ve gotten lost in the mail. Clients don’t give gifts. Clients receive gifts. Ah, is that it? Well, 1,000 “forgive mes.” My bad. It is such a bitch to get all the holiday shopping in while you’re busy avoiding death. Oh, speaking of, congratulations. For being alive? Yeah. If cyrus didn’t kill you, I thought for sure laura would.

[ Chuckles ] A hardy humbug to you, too, valentin.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] When was the last time you slept in like this? High school? Please don’t get on my case, dad. I was up late with bailey, and then when I finally got to bed, all I could do was… …toss…

[ Grunting ] …And… …turn. Where is the oat milk in this house?

[ Clears throat ] Bad dreams? Something like that. What are you even still doing here? I thought you and olivia had an appointment with leo’s doctor. Soon. But I always have some time for my one and only daughter… aww. …And the mess she’s made of her one and only life. I had hoped that your turkey day revenge would dull the pain of losing bailey, but I don’t think there’s a slice of elq big enough to make up for the love of a child. No. I’m sorry, valentin, both that you went through it, and that I wasn’t here while you did. Brook lynn hurt me. Worse, she hurt my daughter, charlotte, and I want to make sure she pays a price for that. That’s my boy. Do you want to order some breakfast and dream up some new, dastardly ways to even the score? I do, but right now I have other matters on my plate. I don’t think so. You’ve been going through a lot. So much stress. This weekend away will be good for you. For both of us. I mean, when was the last time we had any privacy? Yeah, it feels like it’s been ages. We could really use some time behind closed doors, don’t you think? So, what’s today’s special? What the hell is scott trying to pull now? He’s looking to undercut the charges by going after the D.A.’S credibility.

[ Scoffs ] Turn the attention away from nina and onto me, but did he have to use willow? Hey, willow — she’ll be fine. No, yeah, she will be, but scott won’t, not when I’m through with him. Sorry for springing this on you. I just want to address opposing counsel’s accusations. Okay. Have you ever donated to my campaign for pennsylvania attorney general? No. My previous campaigns for llantano county district attorney? No. Prior to today, have you ever met me? In october. At the home I share with my son and his father, michael corinthos. Ms. Tait, can you describe to the court the nature of that meeting? I arrived home to find you and michael speaking. Do you remember the subject? Your shared values. Mm. What else? There were introductions. And then you had to get back to llanview. At any time during that meeting, did you come to know that michael corinthos had in any way pressed me to bring a case against the defendant? No. Thank you for clearing that up. No further questions, your honor. Does the defense have questions for the witness? Yeah. One or two.


corinthos coffee. Yeah. Not much to choose from in these parts. Oh, I’m not complaining. It’s nice to come back and have at least one thing unchanged. So, tell me, is the, uh, thrill of your homecoming, is it wearing off a bit? Hmm. Not the scout part. Man, seeing scout is… as thrilling as ever every single time. And after only talking to the guards and myself for over two years, having a conversation with a normal person is —

[Chuckles] It’s quite a trip. But the rest? I can only sit on my butt at monica’s for so long, man. I gotta — I gotta do something with my life. I got to be productive, you know? But I just — I just have no idea where to start. What about aurora media? You mean the company that sam and I created together for a fresh start? Alright, good point. And there’s no place for you at elq? Well, I’d have to find a good therapist first.

[ Chuckles ] Thanks to you, though, I do have something to occupy my time. I’ve been thinking about your marshall project.

[ Sighs ] I’m listening. I may have come up with an angle. I thought these flowers were to say “thank you.” They are, but I was also, uh, hoping to, you know, soften you up for my proposition. And what kind of proposition is that? I had a beautiful time last night. So did I. Yeah, yeah, I thought so, but you didn’t stick around to say so. I-I thought it was obvious.

[ Chuckles ] Maybe. Maybe you’re just more inclined to express yourself through song rather than word.

[ Laughs ] You will soon learn that I have no problem speaking my mind…

[ Chuckles ]

…If you stick around. Oh, I, uh — I plan to. Epiphany… …I think we make beautiful music together. So I wanted to ask you… yes? …How would you feel about joining my band? I knew I should’ve put “dad’s empathy” on my christmas list. That’s not what I meant. You know, why is it we can’t even go one week without you coming down on me? Brook lynn — you’re always with the mess, like I don’t know I have issues, like — like I need you to point it out, like I’m not trying to make my life better, and you, of all people, by the way, should be talking about mess. I mean, what’s going on with you and olivia? Are you guys even in the same bed now? In the same room? In the same wing? You’re right. What? I am the standard bearer for messes in this family. You are an amateur by comparison. I’m confused. And if you have any issues, it’s — well, it’s in large part because of me. Dad. No, it’s true. I mean, what kind of example have I set when it comes to relationships? Or when it comes to… well, anything, actually. And I’m sorry for my choice of words. I thought “mess” was an objective take and something that we both have in common. So now we’re bonding over our mutual chaos? Yes. And maybe we can come up with some solutions. I have been working on things with olivia. I know you have. And I’ve been doing some thinking about your…situation with chase, and, in my opinion, you need to get out in front of this, okay? Make sure that chase doesn’t hold bailey over your head like valentin did.

[ Chase clears throat ] You referred to michael as the father of your son, the man you live with. Not married. No. That’s kind of a-a modern arrangement. D.A. Sheridan: Relevance, your honor? Stick to the point, mr. Baldwin. Did you and michael revisit the subject of the D.A.’S visit after he left? It’s come up. Did you take it for face value, just two guys shooting the breeze about values and whatnot? I wondered if there was more to it. Well, did that wondering get the best of you? Did you ask michael? I thought my conversations with michael are protected. They’re not. Spousal privilege does not apply to co-parenting. You know what does apply to just about everyone? Penalty for perjury.


[Upbeat acoustic music throughout] Well, the timing of this ipo could be better. Do you think we should postpone until sasha’s had time to grieve? I can’t imagine she could work right now. I don’t even know how she’s functioning at all, to be honest. Ommmm. Guess what… I want for christmas? Oh-ommmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Mmm. You ready for another round?

[ Chuckles ]

[ Breathing heavily ] Ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Let’s just say… I’ve noticed you. Well, then let’s just say… that I’ve noticed you, too. Ommmmmmmm. Martin.

[ Panting ] What was that, now? Just out of curiosity, who should I be more concerned for — anna or victor? Victor. Definitely. Eyes on me.

[ Scoffs ] It’s a wonder anyone’s eyes are ever off you…

[ Chuckles ] …My son’s in particular. Tell me, anna, what exactly is the nature of your relationship? Oh, I don’t know. I think that falls under the category of none of your damn business. Oh, cute. Yeah. Kind of like your stretching this morning that passed for a workout. What, you were at volonino’s?

[ Stammers ] I didn’t see you there. Oh, yeah, I’m everywhere. I was at the bodega where you picked up the invader, and the — what else were you picking up? Oh, mints. Oh, that is very considerate. And then I was also at kelly’s when you were visiting spencer, right? You’re following me. I am, yes. You see, port charles is my home, so from here on out, I will be your shadow. You step out of line, and I will be there to deal with you. The way you dealt with peter? Spencer: I brewed it myself. I see you’ve learned your way around the coffee maker.Mm-hmm. He’s doing a great job here, grandmother. Oh. Sorry. I meant “mayor.” Uh, laura is fine… for now. So, spencer, kevin keeps telling me that he’s seen this wonderful shift in you, and I don’t know if it’s because of this job or it’s just a byproduct of having been caught. Here it comes. Here what comes? Well, I knew it was too good to last. Christmas is gone, and so is the peace. Now it’s time to let me have it. Spencer. So how disappointed are you? Or have you already moved past that and on to hate just like my father? Do you want me to give you a little refresher course in the consequences of lying in court? That won’t be necessary. Michael told me that, like many businesses, his family’s company seeks relationships with political figures. Yes, the evidence shows that, uh, the district attorney was given a huge chunk of money by you and michael. Objection. No such evidence has been offered. Ms. Tait has never made a donation to my campaign that I am aware of. Sustained. Well, elq made a huge donation to you before my client’s arrest. So what was expected from that donation in return? Like I said, I wasn’t privy to the conversation. But you must think that there was something — some– something that michael had said that he was gonna get something for his gift. Michael’s only interest was in justice. Justice for whom? His father. Nina kept sonny from his family for nine months. Well, did you not expect that, uh, michael was going to get the D.A. To pursue charges against my client for that donation? Objection. We’re getting awfully close to badgering here, your honor. Sustained. Is it not your understanding that the D.A. Was going to bring charges against nina reeves for the hefty elq donation to the D.A.? Whatever was said between michael and D.A. Sheridan is between them. As far as I am aware, the contribution was entirely aboveboard and legal. Legal. It’s funny that you should bring that up because that’s what we’re trying to get to. Does the charges against nina — does it even merit a trial or should they just be tossed out? That was possibly an act of heroism. Heroism? Yeah, do you have any reason to believe that the alleged victim, sonny corinthos — did he see himself as a victim at all? Plaque psoriasis, the burning, itching. The pain. Emerge tremfyant. With tremfya, adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis… …can uncover clearer skin and improve symptoms at 16 weeks. Serious allerg ic reactions may occur. Tremfya may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. Tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms or if you had a vaccine or plan to. Emerge tremfyant with tremfya… ask you doctor about tremfya today. We’re eating and drinking foods and beverages that are very acidic. It can soften the enamel. Pronamel repair, what it’s doing is driving more minerals deep into the enamel surface, that’s going to help actively repair. Pronamel is taking it to another level. Liz, you nerd, cough if you’re in here! Shh! I took mucinex dm for my phlegmy cough. What about rob’s dry cough? Works on that too, and lasts 12 hours. 12 hours?! Who studies that long? Mucinex dm relieves wet and dry coughs. You’ll forgive me if I find your threats a little lacking in substance. You see, as I understand it, you’ve had, well, multiple opportunities to put an end to peter’s reign of terror, yet every single time, you’ve backed off, which, frankly, confounds me. Hmm. I’ve read your file, anna. Oh, have you? Your no-nonsense reputation is well-earned. Thank you. Yet here you are still testing me. Oh, by living my life? No, by imposing yourself on valentin. Ha! And we’ve come full circle. You really do care for him, don’t you? And while I am truly gratified by your attachment to my son, I suspect valentin is even more so. You’re putting together a band? Yes. And I would be honored to land you as lead vocal. I think our chemistry is off the charts, don’t you? It was just one performance. Exactly, and it could take people weeks, sometimes months to gel like that. But there we were, total strangers, nowhere near a studio or anything resembling a stage, playing holiday tunes, and still… it was a natural fit. So I got to talking with the other musicians afterwards, and we all thought, “why not give it a shot?” Just get together for at least one day, one day, and feel out something that doesn’t sound like it’s wrapped in tinsel.

[ Laughs ] Come on. What do you say? You haven’t been able to find much on marshall ashford, right? He’s got zero digital footprint, and if my mother owned any property that was related to him, she parted ways with it a long time ago. Civic documents? Birth certificates, um, educational records, but they all dried up shortly after he married my mom. I’m no P.I., But that does seem strange. Very. It suggests that he lived another life before he showed up here, or that someone went to great lengths to erase all traces of him. So maybe it’s time that we stop looking for marshall ashford… and start looking for the man he was pretending to be. Why would scott bother willow with any of this? D.A. Sheridan: Your honor, this is clearly a fishing expedition that’s going nowhere. I don’t know. Scott: I beg to differ. Ms. Tait is very close to the crime. That’s why the prosecutor called her. So I think she might possess a different perspective here, one you might want to consider, your honor, before this goes to trial. I’ll allow it, but keep it moving. Would you like me to repeat the question? No. To my knowledge, sonny corinthos is no one’s victim. Let me rephrase it, then. Now mr. Corinthos, he testified that he didn’t bring charges against nina because he wanted to, and I quote, move on with his life. He lost enough time with his wife and family. Do — do you think that he left anything out? Objection. Could that be more vague?

[ Sighs ] Get where you’re going, mr. Baldwin. Make it fast, and make it direct. Well, do you think mr. Corinthos had, you know, some sort of unstated motivation as to not sic the state on nina reeves?


Spencer, I could never hate you. Am I disappointed? Absolutely. You put your father and ava and — and ava’s daughter through a living nightmare. Avery was never in any danger. She was kept from her mother because of what you did. Don’t make excuses. Don’T. That makes everything worse. What you did was horrible. Spencer didn’t do it alone. He had help. From me. Because you were trying to be supportive. Still, I went overboard and should’ve exercised better judgment. That’s an understatement. I’ve learned my lesson, grandmother. Have you, though? Really? You don’t believe me? I want to believe you, spencer, but the fact that you’ve thrown in with your uncle victor makes me wonder. Victor’s sudden revelation that I am, in fact, a cassadine has got me wondering if there might be some wiggle room in the will. What will? Mikkos’? The one that got ava thrown off the parapet? That will? If I can avail myself of some of the fortune that nikolas stole after all, that would be a terrific happy ending, wouldn’t it? I’ll look into it. Good. If I were you, I would just focus on victor. You know, shake the tree a little, see what comes loose. I can handle victor, and it looks like anna can, as well. Hmm. How are things with ms. Devane? Asking for a friend, are we? Oh, no. I’m not throwing my hat in the ring. Good. You’d lose.You’d lose. Ah, there’s no need to fighta duel over it, valentin. With all due respect to anna, I’ve decided to move on. Martin grey? Namaste. Would you keep your voice down, please? Oh, sorry! I had no idea you were interested in him. Neither did I. Tell me what happened. Okay, um, well, it sort of just fell into my lap. No, I fell into his lap, and then the rest is sort of history. Good history? It w– so fun. Get it, girl.

[ Laughs ] I hope you’re not offended. Uh, you just compared chase to a cassadine. You come out far ahead in any comparison. Yeah, light years ahead. But valentin has already started his retaliation for the lie about bailey, okay, and more is sure to come. Your point? Children bring out the best and the worst in people, and I would hate to see my granddaughter used once again as a weapon between warring parents. Chase: I understand. I’d hate for that to happen, too. Good. Then my suggestion to the two of you is that you sit down together with lawyers and iron out your respective roles in bailey’s life. The clearer you are now, the less room for conflict moving forward. Makes sense? It’s all about the boundaries. Rack your brain a little. Scott, stop. No. Do — do you know any reason why mr. Corinthos would not file charges against the woman who allegedly kept him away from his family? I’m not in sonny’s head. I-I can’t tell you all his reasons. One reason. Scott, no. One singular reason. No! Quiet.

[ Sighs ] Did sonny corinthos… why did he not want restitution? Let’s go. Now? Scott: Well, it’s worth mentioning… we need — we need to talk. …In pennsylvania, the penalty for perjury runs as high as seven years in prison… I got to tell you something. I don’t want to go. …Seven years for perjury behind bars in another state away from your family. How old do you think your son will be when you get out? Yes! “Yes,” what? Yes. There is another reason why mr. Corinthos did not go after nina. The world is full of make or break moments. Especially if you have postmenopausal osteoporosis and a high risk for fracture, it’s time to make your move to help reduce your risk of fracture with prolia. Only prolia is proven to help strengthen and protect bones from fracture with 1 shot every 6 months. Do not take prolia if you have low blood calcium, are pregnant, are allergic to it, or take xgeva. Serious allergic reactions like low blood pressure, trouble breathing, throat tightness, face, lip or tongue swelling, rash, itching or hives have happened. Tell your doctor about dental problems, as severe jaw bone problems may happen or new or unusual pain in your hip, groin, or thigh, as unusual thigh bone fractures have occurred. Speak to your doctor before stopping, skipping or delaying prolia, as spine and other bone fractures have occurred. Prolia can cause serious side effects, like low blood calcium, serious infections, which could need hospitalization, skin problems, and severe bone, joint, or muscle pain. Don’t wait for a break. Call your doctor now and ask how prolia can help you. Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches in your hands or feet? Try nervivenerve relief from the world’s #1 selling nerve care company. Nervive contains alpha lipoic acid to relieve occasional nerve aches, weakness and discomfort. Try nervivenerve relief. Kids can change minds, they can even change the world around us.

My name’s caleb. What’s yours? I’m grace! Did you just move here? Yeah! Cool! (Swords clashing) -had enough? -No… arthritis. Here. Aspercreme arthritis. Fu ll prescription-strength?Reduces inflammation? Thank the gods. Don’t thank them too soon.

Kick pain in the aspercreme. When they’re sick, they get comfortable anywhere and spread germs everywhere. Wherever they rest protection nothing kills more viruses, including the covid-19 virus, on more surfaces than lysol disinfectant spray. Lysol. What it takes to protect. This is a hero, walking his youngest down the aisle, which to his bladder, feels like a mile. Yet he stands strong, dry, keeping the leaks only to his eyes. Depend. The only thing stronger than us, is you. I don’t have much time to devote to a band. We’ll work around your schedule. My shifts are all over the place. Is this your polite way of saying no? I-I-it’s not a no or a yes. It’s just that, uh… I got a little turned around when you said “proposition.” That’s all. Oh. Oh. You thought I was asking you out. My mistake. Oh, no. No, no, no. Look, look, for the record, if I were to ask out, hey, a-a virtual stranger, I doubt — I sincerely doubt I could aim higher than you.

[ Chuckles ] But the truth is, I… I don’t date. And I-I haven’t in a long time. And the fact is, I… I really wasn’t very good at it. But if I could ever interest you in a jam session… it’s possible. Depends on my schedule. Well, then you just follow the music.

[ Both chuckle ] I know he has several aliases, and, uh, he’s probably lived under several dozen rocks over the decades, but I have no leads, and the guy is not forthcoming with information. So you’ve asked? More like demanded. But, you know, the more he said nothing or talked around the answers I wanted, I just got so pissed — that you just shut right down. Yeah. So if I go in there all curious and nice, he’ll be suspicious. Well, then, let me try. Let me do the digging. You just play it straight. How? We can’t get a lead on marshall’s missing years, so we need him to cough one up. Okay. We lay a job in his path, something that’s just way too good to resist. He’s gonna have to put down a social security number or a reference, something. Now, real or fake, it doesn’t really matter. Just gives us someplace to start.

[ Sighs ] A job. That’s good. Now, you do know this means you’re gonna have to deal with aurora or elq. You let me deal with that. So now I just wonder what kind of gig you would put out there as a lure, because, as far as I know, all the guy does is music. Well, believe it or not, music is something that my family knows. Brook lynn: Are you done with your very practical and extremely mercenary advice? I am. Great. Now, you should go. You don’t want to be late for your appointment. Okay, so I will provide your counsel, and, uh, you let us know when you’ve found yourself a lawyer. I’m so sorry about my dad butting in like that, but, to be fair, it’s sort of family tradition. I think ned’s being smart. You do? Yeah. And I would get a lawyer if I were actually working and I could actually pay for one. And if bailey were actually mine. But I-I do agree with the boundaries. I will do whatever it takes to keep up appearances for both maxie and the baby, but when it comes to us, just let me know how much space you need. I’ll give it to you. Ommm. The eternal, earth, air, heaven, that glory, that resplendence of the sun.

[ Whispering ] Is there going to be a second round? I don’t know. I mean, we kind of talked about it, but it’s casual, and I don’t want to make any assumptions. But you would like there to be, right? Excuse me, ladies. Yeah. Let’s focus on centering our breathing, yes? Oh, okay. Do you want to get out of here and grab a latte so we could chat? Yes, I do. Let’s go. Namaste. Valentin: Lucy coe? Wishing you could trade places, are you? No, I’m wishing I had a lawyer with more common sense. I’m sorry. Lucy coe is my business partner. We’re about to take deception public. That’s gonna make me, that’s gonna make lucy, that’s gonna make you a lot of money. Still not seeing the problem. Okay. Okay. You cannot effectively represent me and my best interests if you are sleeping with lucy coe, who, by the way, is notorious for getting the better of her lovers. So if she gets the better of you, she’s gonna get the better of me. So you can have me or you can have lucy. You cannot have both. So, I will be keeping an eye on you. Well, now, isn’t that a little superfluous given my deal with the wsb? I’m not beholden to that deal. So I strenuously advise you to behave yourself. Or? You read my file. You tell me. Uncle victor is the only reason that I’m going to spring ridge instead of pentonville. And I’m grateful for that. I am. I just wish that I didn’t have victor to thank for it. Spencer, you know you messed up, right? Yes, yes. Okay, good. Good. And your job now is to make amends. I know. Okay, I want to see that. I don’t want just lip service.

[ Bell dings ] I have to get that. Don’t worry. Once spence gets out of spring ridge, he’ll have plenty of people to keep him on the straight and narrow. Me, kevin, you. One big, happy family. Let’s get out of here. Why, sonny? D.A. Sheridan: Objection, your honor. Mr. Baldwin has gone far beyond a fishing expedition. What is willow gonna say? He’s threatening ms. Tait with perjury when she hasn’t been deposed, and there’s no indication she knows anything germane to these proceedings. Overruled. I want to see where this is going. Whenever you’re ready. A F… a few weeks ago… I over…

[ Sighs ] I overheard nina and sonny in a conversation at general hospital. Out in the open? In the chapel. So it was just the two of them? Yes. What was said in this conversation? I… I wasn’t — I-I wasn’t there for all of it. Well, the part that you were there for, did mr. Corinthos touch on the nature of his relationship with ms. Reeves? He did. D.A. Sheridan: Hearsay, your honor. Overruled. Could you be more specific? I-I-I… I overheard sonny say, “whatever happened between us in nixon falls, it has to come from me, and it will.” What was that, ms. Tait? What was between the accused and the alleged victim? Love.

Julie: Well, doesn’t it make you feel all christmassy?

Eli: Yeah, it sure does. You know, grandma, looking at this beautiful tree, you would never guess that the devil tried to burn it down last night.

Julie: It’s going to take more than demon possession to stop this family or your grandmother from having the horton christmas tree. That reminds me I have something for you.

Eli: Okay.

Julie: Yeah. You hear that? Well, actually, it’s for you and lani. But actually, it’s for my precious grandbabies. Yes, it is. But you are a little small to undo the box. And so daddy is going to do the honors.

Eli: Maybe we should wait until lani’s done helping doug in the kitchen.

Julie: No. I’m too impatient. I want to see it now. Open it, darling.

Eli: Okay. All right. Grandma, thank you. Look. Guys, these are for you from your great-grandmother and you’ll put them on that tree there every year.

Julie: Can we hang out together? Just you and me right now? It would give me something so lovely to remember.

Eli: Sure. Let’s do it. You want to see?

Julie: You want to watch? This is you and this is you, little jules. Okay.

Eli: Which one–

Julie: What do you like? How about there? Okay. And there she is.

Eli: Right. I’ll put carver right next to jules.

Julie: Good idea.

Eli: How’s that?

Julie: Well, I think it’s perfect. Can you see, honey?

Eli: Yeah. See?

Julie: Do you see them on the tree? Do you see ’em?

Eli: They have your names on them. Now you guys are officially part of the horton family christmas tree tradition, and you always will be.

[Soft music]

Allie: You’re up early. Is that because you know it’s christmas? It’s christmas.

Tripp: Hey.

Allie: Hey. Hi. Sorry. Did henry wake you up?

Tripp: No, no. That’s okay. It’s okay. Merry christmas. And merry christmas to you, hank.

Allie: Merry christmas. How’re you feeling this morning?

Tripp: Not bad for a guy who just came out of a coma.

Allie: But at least it wasn’t your coma.

Tripp: Yeah. Was that just a bad christmas eve dream? Or did your grandma really turn me into jan spears in a coma?

Allie: I really wish that i could say it was a bad dream, but I can’T.

Tripp: I know.

Allie: But hey, hey. It’s over now. Okay. It’s over. And I don’t want to talk about demons anymore. It’s christmas. It’s the one day of the year when miracles really can happen. And you and i and henry are all together, so let’s just be happy. Okay.

Tripp: Sounds good to me. Hey big man. You want some–are you hungry? Want some pancakes?

Allie: Want some pancakes?

Tripp: Want some pancakes? Yeah. You want some pancakes.

Allie: Hold on. It’s johnny. He says he’s back from italy and he says he has news. Wonder what it could be.

Tripp: Hmm.

[Soft music]

Johnny: Hey. Hey. Morning, mrs. Dimera. Buon natale.

Chanel: Mrs. Dimera. I like the sound of that.

Johnny: Yeah.

Chanel: What else did you say?

Johnny: Buon natale. It’s italian for merry christmas.

Chanel: Why does everything sound so much sexier in italian?

Johnny: Because it is.

Chanel: Think your parents are getting used to the idea of me being their daughter-in-law?

Johnny: I think that my parents have bigger things to worry about than you and me.

Chanel: Yeah. Like what?

Johnny: Like my dad is in jail for kidnapping my mom.

Nicole: Merry christmas.

Ej: I was surprised when they told me I had a visitor. I thought you’d be with holly.

Nicole: Well, maggie and victor asked if they could have her. So I just dropped her off. Did you get any sleep at all?

Ej: Not much. The accommodations aren’t up to my usual standards. Why are you staring at me?

Nicole: Did you do it? Did you really have sami kidnapped?

Sami: Come on, mom. You have to beat this. Hi.

Lucas: Hey, you all right?

Sami: Come in, please.

Lucas: Well, I just heard that ej was arrested.

Sami: Look, I can’t think about him right now.

Lucas: What do you mean you can’t think about ej right now? Since when?

Sami: It’s john has locked my mother in their bedroom, tied her to the bed.

Lucas: Are you kidding me? What are they doing in there?

Sami: God only knows. And I mean that literally.

John: I know you’re still there, doc. It’s christmas morning. It’s time for you to come home to me.

Demon marlena: Nice day for an exorcism.

[Laughing] Good luck with that.

[Laughing]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Chanel: You’re putting me on, right? Your dad didn’t really have your mom kidnapped.

Johnny: Yeah. I mean, I don’t know. The cops must think so or they wouldn’t have arrested him.

Chanel: Wow. Wow. Okay. So, well, what do you think? You know your dad better than the cops do.

Johnny: Nothing my dad does really surprises me, you know. He is a dimera.

Chanel: So are you.

Johnny: Starting to have second thoughts about marrying into my crazy family?

Chanel: No way. I’m in for the long haul.

Johnny: Hey. What do you say that we forget about my parents’ latest drama and go see allie. It’s time we gave her the good news.

Chanel: Oh. Yeah, okay. If you want to.

Johnny: Hey, whoa–where do you think you’re going?

Chanel: To take a shower.

Johnny: Without giving me my christmas present?

Chanel: You want a present?

Johnny: Yeah.

Chanel: Have you been naughty or nice?

Johnny: I’ll be whatever you want me to be.

Ej: The police can’t possibly make a case against me, because I’m innocent. I’m serious. I had absolutely nothing to do with samantha’s kidnapping.

Nicole: Well, I heard the cops caught one of the guys who was guarding sami. Why would he say that he worked for you?

Ej: Because he’s lying. Someone is setting me up.

Lucas: Your mom set fire to the horton christmas angel?

Sami: Yeah. Right out of currier and ives, isn’t it?

Lucas: That angel’s been in my family for generations. Doug and julie must be freaked out. You know, they’re scared of your mom right now.

Sami: Well, they have every reason to be. She’s pretty scary. John keeps reminding me that it’s the thing in her that did this, not her. But it looks a lot like her.

Lucas: I can’t–i just can’T.

Sami: It’s happened before, you know. I mean, as it turns out, my mother is the devil’s favorite place to go for the holidays.

Lucas: Well, I just didn’t think it would happen again is what I’m saying.

Sami: Me neither. I just hope john knows what he’s doing. I hope that we get my mom back before it’s too late.

Demon marlena: Why can’t I do this?

John: Because you are losing your power. You’re not as strong as you used to be.

Demon marlena: That’s not true.

John: I think you’re making it true.

[Dramatic music]

Our father, who art in heaven–

Demon marlena: You’re not really starting that–

John: Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done–

Demon marlena: He can’t hear you.

John: Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven–

Demon marlena: You’re wasting your breath. You aren’t even a priest.

John: Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses–

Demon marlena: Your precious marlena is lost to you.

John: As we forgive those who trespass against us.

Demon marlena: [Laughing]

Limu emu… & doug

Paulina: Abe. Fancy meeting you here.

Abe: Hello, paulina. Merry christmas.

Paulina: Merry christmas to you. I’m just finishing up my christmas shopping.

Abe: I’m surprised there were stores open.

Paulina: Ballistix was open till noon. I made it in just under the wire. Good thing too. I have a new son-in-law to shop for.

Abe: Well, you know that eli and lani have been married for over a year.

Paulina: I wasn’t talking about eli. And I’m sure he doesn’t want a present from me anyway. I’m talking about my new son-in-law. My chanel, she came home from her roman holiday married to johnny dimera.

Johnny: Hey. What’s wrong?

Chanel: Just hold on a minute. Okay?

Johnny: Do you not want to tell allie that we got married?

Chanel: No. No, it’s not that. It’s just I’m worried about how she’ll take it.

Johnny: Why? Because you guys played around with kissing for a while? That’s way in the past. Look, you’re my wife now.

Chanel: Yeah, I am. I married to my best friend’s brother. The brother she warned me about. This could be weird for her.

Johnny: Look, okay, she’s gonna find out eventually. She might as well find out from us.

[Knocking]

Allie: Hi. Welcome home.

Chanel: Merry christmas.

Allie: Merry christmas. Hi. Oh, you guys should’ve come by earlier. Tripp made pancakes.

Chanel: We got henry a present; where is he?

Allie: That’s so sweet. He was up really early, but then he got really sleepy after his big breakfast. So tripp is putting him down for a nap.

Johnny: Oh. He’s here?

Tripp: Yeah. He’s here. Merry christmas.

Johnny: You too.

Chanel: This is for you. It’s from johnny and me.

Allie: Aww. Well, I got you guys stuff too. I mean, I figured we’d open it all together.

Johnny: You guys want to– you guys want to wait a minute on the–on the presents. Didn’t you get my text? Don’t you want to hear the big news?

Allie: Yeah, but I realized that I already know what it is.

Chanel: You do?

Allie: Yeah. Johnny’s dad kidnapped our mom.

Nicole: Okay. Who would want to set you up for kidnapping sami?

Ej: I’ve made more than a few enemies here in salem. Victor kiriakis blames me for titan’s financial problems. Melinda trask hates me for making her look like a fool in court. And then there’s–

Nicole: Okay. You might want to narrow down your list to one possible name that you can give the police.

Ej: As a matter of fact, I already have.

Sami: John’s been in there for a long time. I hope she hasn’t turned him into a goat or something.

Lucas: Turn him into a goat. You’re wearing out the rug. Come on, sit down for a second. Take a look. Well, so I don’t–I don’t know–I don’t know a lot about exorcisms, but I’ve seen a couple movies about them, you know, and i just know it takes a while. Right?

Sami: Exorcism. You know, my–my mother should be enjoying her christmas with her children and her grandchildren.

Lucas: I know.

Sami: Instead she’s in there battling for her immortal soul. If anyone deserves to be possessed by the devil, it’s me.

Lucas: Would we be able to tell the difference if you were possessed by the devil? Would we be able to decipher that? I’m just kidding. Trying to keep your mind off things. Okay. I’m try and change the subject, that’s all. I know that you’re very scared for your mom right now, but we should probably talk about this ej situation, right?

Sami: No. Lucas, I don’t want to talk about that.

Lucas: What do you mean you don’t want to talk about your very own husband kidnaps you, hold you against your will? Please tell me you’re done with that guy. People everywhere living with

Johnny: I still can’t believe that dad would do that to mom.

Allie: I can.

Johnny: Come on, al.

Allie: What? You saw how he treated her when we were all in rome.

Johnny: Yeah. And then he followed her back here and they got back together.

Allie: And then he found out that she was cheating on him.

Johnny: Well, let’s just agree to disagree. Okay. That’s not the news that we came here to tell you.

Tripp: Okay. Okay, you guys have the floor.

Johnny: Chanel and i got married.

Tripp: Get out.

Johnny: Yes.

Chanel: We’re not just best friends anymore. We’re sisters-in-law.

Abe: Johnny and chanel, are they really married?

Paulina: Oh yeah. I’m trying to make the best of it, but–

Abe: But you’ve heard a lot of far-out stories about the dimera family.

Paulina: Yes, I have. Although I know your–your late wife. She was a dimera. So–so that makes your son theo half-dimera, so–well, there’s obviously some goodness in that gene pool.

Abe: Definitely. Besides, every family has its problems.

Ej: And there’s chad. He wants dimera enterprises all to himself. He makes no secret of that. Jake knows that I organized the campaign to oust him as ceo. Gabi hates me for that and for throwing her out of my house–

Nicole: Okay. I thought you said you narrowed your list down to one name.

Ej: But out of all those people, I don’t think anyone hates me more than rafe does.

Nicole: [Scoffs] Rafe? Oh, don’t be ridiculous. First of all, he would never do that to sami. And second of all, he wouldn’t break the law just to get to you.

Ej: He’s always been jealous of me and it’s even worse now that I’m with you.

Nicole: Rafe?

Ej: Mm-hmm.

Nicole: Jealous? That is patently absurd.

Ej: I disagree.

Nicole: Okay. Well then since we’re sitting here talking about people who hate your guts, what about lucas horton?

Sami: Look, I’ve heard chapter and verse about how you hate ej. I don’t need to hear it anymore. Listen, I have to be here for my mother right now.

Lucas: I know. I get that. Okay. But he–he did kidnap you for weeks and weeks. He held you there and he tortured you. Why would you go back to a guy who tortured you? How’s that going to help your mother?

Sami: We don’t know that it was ej.

Lucas: Yes, we do. Why would the salem pd arrest him? They wouldn’t arrest him for nothing. And please tell me you’re not still fighting the divorce.

Sami: Well, ej doesn’t want a divorce now.

Lucas: He what?

Sami: Yeah, he was just telling me that he–mom.

John: Very impressive. Even shackled to the bed, you have telekinetic powers, but I have god, our father, the son and the holy spirit on my side, not to mention marlena’s love. Shall we begin? Revelation, book 12, verse 9. “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the devil, and satan, who deceiveth the whole world was cast out into the earth, and all of his angels were cast out with him.” Cast out. Cast out.

Demon marlena: [Screaming]

[Dramatic music]

[Screaming]

[Dramatic music]

[ Echoing ]

Some of us were born for this.

John: First peter, chapter 5, verse 8, “be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”

Sami: Stop. Stop.

Demon marlena: Sami. Sami, please help me. Honey. Honey, you’ve got to help me. This is what he did to me. Look at this. This is why I ran away.

John: Samantha, it’s not her.

Sami: No. John, you have to stop. Okay. Please. You have to untie her. This is torture.

Johnny: Samantha, it’s not her. It’s the devil just playing with you. It’s not her.

Demon marlena: Sami. Sami, help me.

Sami: John, I can’t stand to see her scream.

Demon marlena: Sami, help me, please.

John: Let’s take a break. Let’s take a break. Let’s take a break. Come with me. Come with me. Come with me. Lucas, let’s go.

[Dramatic music]

Demon marlena: Not so fast, mr. Horton. You and I have to chat alone for a moment.

Ej: You actually think lucas horton has the brains and the nerve to set me up?

Nicole: No. All I said was lucas hates you, not as much as rafe does. I don’t think either one of them would do this to you. I think you’re just grasping at straws.

Ej: I don’t know about that. I didn’t put lucas on my list of suspects because he always seems so ineffectual. But maybe it was him.

Lani: Let’s go.

Paulina: Can I at least wish you a merry christmas?

Eli: Merry christmas, paulina.

Lani: The kids have probably worn doug and julie out by now. We should go pick them up and I still have a lot to do for our christmas dinner. Dad, we’ll–we’ll see you later tonight, right?

Abe: Of course you will.

Paulina: Well, I thought you want to know you have a new brother-in-law.

Allie: So you guys are really married?

Johnny: Yes, we are. Yes.

Allie: When did that happen?

Johnny: While we were in rome. Do you remember that church that mom used to take us to? That little church.

Allie: San carlo of the four fountains?

Johnny: Yes. Yeah. That’s–that’s where we got married.

Tripp: So, congratulations.

Johnny: Thank you. Thank you.

Chanel: Allie? You’re not saying anything.

Allie: Okay. You want me to say something? You just made the biggest mistake of your entire life.

Itchy?

Johnny: I can’t believe you just said that.

Chanel: I thought you’d be happy for us.

Tripp: I mean, you guys just did throw this at her.

Johnny: No, we didn’T.

Allie: How long have you been dating? A couple of months?

Johnny: Long enough to know we love each other.

Allie: Okay. How many times have I watched you fall in and out of love?

Johnny: I’m not a kid anymore. Okay. This is different. Chanel and I know that what we feel for each other is real.

Allie: What do you know about real? Our giovanni here is always the leading man in his own movie. The plot is always the same. It’s just the girl who changes. Okay. They go for romantic strolls by the tiber, and then they walk over to the piazza navona. That’s your regular route. Wasn’t it? And then he takes her to the one trattoria where they know him and he orders for her in italian. Sound familiar? I guess you needed a bigger ending for your movie this time ’cause you married the girl before you broke up with her.

Johnny: Are you done yet? Or you still–okay.

Allie: No, I’m not done. The movie’s over. Okay? You’re back in salem now. What happens when those magic feeling goes away and you’re stuck with a guy who’s bored of being a husband?

Sami: [Crying]

John: Hey. Here you go, kid.

Sami: Thank you.

John: Look, I know how hard this is on you and I know how much you hate what I’m doing because I hate it too. But a successful exorcism is the only chance I have of bringing your mother back to you.

Sami: I understand. And I brought grandma carolyn’s rosary, ’cause I wanted to help, but it just so hard. It’s really hard to see her like that.

John: That wasn’t her. That was satan preying on your love of her. He wants you to stop me.

Sami: I just–I love her, you know, that right, john? I love her so much, even though I don’t always show her how much I love her–

John: She understands that. Sweetie, wherever she is right now, she can feel that love.

Sami: Wherever she is?

John: You know–whether you realize it or not, what you’re doing right now is helping her. It’s making her stronger and I need you with me on this right now. I need you to be 100% all in.

Sami: Okay.

John: It says in the bible that, ‘a house divided against itself shall not stand.’ And we’re up against the forces of darkness here, so we–we have to be a united front. All in, samantha.

Nicole: Okay. Just slow down a little bit here. Okay? I don’t really see lucas as the kidnapping type.

Ej: Why not? He pretended to have a brain tumor so he could get close to chloe lane.

Nicole: No, no, no. Sami put him up to that. Because your lovely sister said that she would tell the whole world about sami and lucas if sami didn’t get chloe away from brady.

Ej: What about the fact that lucas almost let samantha receive the death penalty for a murder he committed? He didn’t need prodding from kristen then.

Nicole: Well, lucas finally manned up and stopped the execution.

Ej: With seconds to spare. I’m sorry, but lucas horton is more malicious than you give him credit for.

Lucas: There’s nothing I can do for you. So stop playing games and open up the door.

Demon marlena: No. We’ve got a few things to get settled first.

Lucas: You and me? What do we have to talk about?

Demon marlena: For starters, I know what you did. People think of you as the boring one, but I know what a little bad boy you are.

Lucas: Yeah, I’m so boring that your mind games aren’t going to work on me.

Demon marlena: Really? You see, I know that you’re the one that kidnapped sami and held her captive. That’s not very boring.

Lucas: You don’t know anything about me.

Demon marlena: I know you’re an imbecile and I know that I gave you the idea.

Lucas: Wait a minute. You made me kidnap sami?

Demon marlena: “The devil made me do it”? That’s going to be your defense? I’m sorry to disappoint, but I didn’t make you do it.

Lucas: What the hell did you do?

Demon marlena: Well, I just planted the idea in that little booze soaked brain of yours. The rest of it, you did yourself voluntarily because you couldn’t resist the temptation.

Lucas: Oh, my god.

Demon marlena: Oh, and lucas, if you don’t get me out of here, I’m gonna tell sami everything. Are you tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean?

Lani: So chanel ran off to italy and married herself a dimera. That girl knows how to keep life interesting.

Paulina: Mm-hmm. You can say that again.

Lani: Thank you for telling me about chanel and johnny. I will send them a wedding present.

Paulina: Speaking of presents–

Lani: I thought I made it clear to you that I don’t want anything from you.

Paulina: Even if they for my grandchildren?

Nicole: When am I going to learn to keep my big mouth shut? You cannot pin this on lucas

Ej: If it isn’t him, then who is it? Samantha didn’t kidnap herself.

Nicole: Actually, I wouldn’t put it past her.

Ej: Don’t be ridiculous.

Nicole: Well, in case you’re interested, you still haven’t convinced me that it wasn’t you.

Sami: I am with you, john. You have my attention now. I am with you 100% all in.

John: We can do this. You know, we’re not gonna stop until we save her and we’re going to need all the support we can get. We’re going to need it from our kids. We’re going to need it from our friends and especially from the man upstairs.

Sami: Yeah, especially from him. And speaking of our kids, you know what, lucas, maybe you could call–lucas. Where is he?

John: I don’t know. He was right behind us when we left the bedroom.

Demon marlena: All you have to do is untie me and I can make sure that your–your precious sami never knows you kidnapped her. I can do things like that, you know.

Lucas: If I set you free, that means you can do whatever you want to marlena. Sami will hate me. Everybody would.

Demon marlena: Well, everybody’s going to hate you anyway, once they find out that you kidnapped sami and you–you framed– you framed ej.

[Laughs] You’re just– you’re screwed no matter what you do. So why don’t we do this my way? You know what? I’ll make it easy for you. Just–just untie one hand. I’ll do the rest.

[Unsettling music]

Sami: Lucas! Lucas! Lucas, what the hell are you doing? How did olay top expensive creams?

Chanel: I need to talk to allie alone.

Tripp: You want to go take a peek at your nephew?

Johnny: Sure, I do.

Allie: You didn’t hear a word I said, did you?

Chanel: Like I don’t know that johnny’s had girls before me?

Allie: A lot of them.

Chanel: I’m telling you, this is different. Yeah, it was a spur of the moment thing, but it was real.

Allie: Okay. Well, johnny is not the only one who does think spur of the moment, chanel. All right. You remember your what a day and a half as mrs. Xander cook? What was that, five minutes after you got to salem?

Chanel: That was a scam. This is love.

Allie: Are you sure about that?

Johnny: Damn it, allie. I love chanel. Chanel loves me. We got married. Why can’t you just accept that?

Allie: Who cares if I accept it? It’s your life.

Johnny: You’re my sister. I thought you might like to see me happy, but I guess not.

Allie: I do want to see you happy, but I’d also like to see chanel happy and I feel like you’re going to make her miserable.

Johnny: I just–you know what? I had a thought. I’m starting to think that maybe this isn’t about me at all. Maybe you’re just jealous.

Tripp: What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Johnny: What do you think it means? It means your girlfriend wants my wife all to herself.

Paulina: It’s kaleidoscopes of pictures of your–your big mama and paw-paw when they were first married. And me and tammy as little girls. You and chanel when you were babies. The whole family.

Abe: That is very thoughtful of you, paulina.

Paulina: Me and tammy had them when we were little and I made one for chanel too.

Lani: My mom made me one. I used to stare at that thing for hours.

Paulina: Sort of a price family tradition.

Lani: I’m sorry. I-I can’t accept that.

Eli: Come on, baby. It’s christmas.

Paulina: Please. Please let me do this for my grandbabies.

Lani: Thank you, paulina.

Paulina: You are more than welcome.

Nicole: You and I have gone out to dinner several times and we’ve had sex once. I still don’t know who this new ej is and what he’s capable of.

Ej: I told samantha our marriage was over and that I wanted a divorce. She was sobbing–sobbing when I ordered her out of my house. Do you think I’m such a sadist that I also had her kidnapped?

Nicole: Well, when you put it like that, no. No, I don’t think you’re a sadist.

Ej: So you believe me now.

Nicole: Yes.

Ej: Thank you.

Nicole: Don’t thank me yet. We still have to figure out who kidnapped sami or you could be ringing in the new year at statesville.

Lucas: I was on my way out and she loosened the restraints. I didn’t want her to break loose.

Sami: Really? Oh no.

Demon marlena: He’s lying about everything.

John: Heavenly father. I know it says that you never put more on us than we can bear. But this is a lot. I don’t know if I have the strength to see this through, so I need your help, lord. I just need–I need you to give me a sign that it’s your will that doc’s soul will be saved for a second time.

[Knock at door]

[Tense music]

Yeah, hold on.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Upbeat music ]

Deacon: Uh, this isn’t what it looks like. I’m not bartending. I’m just covering for paul.

Brooke: Where is paul?

Deacon: Paul and his wife just had a baby. Yeah. So, they’re at the hospital. I told him I’d cover his shift and restock for him so they could spend some more time together.

Brooke: Okay, well that is very thoughtful of you.

Deacon: Well, I am mr. Thoughtful. So brooke, how was your christmas? Because I got to tell you, mine? Off the charts awesome. Want to know why?

Brooke: Let me guess. Is it because you got to spend it with your daughter?

Deacon: Best christmas ever.

Brooke: Hope said it was really special too.

Deacon: She said you guys were up at the forrester mansion, how’d that go?

Brooke: Oh, it was a good traditional christmas. It’s always fun to see it through beth and douglas’ eyes. You know, christmas is all about the children.

Deacon: Yeah. Did eric whip up a batch of that high octane eggnog?

Brooke: You know it. Actually, that’s why I’m here. Eric poured me some non-alcoholic champagne at christmas, and it was so good, you know, since I’m not drinking. And I took a picture of it on my cell.

Deacon: Oh yeah.

Brooke: Oh, so you know what this is?

Deacon: Yeah, we got a bottle of it right here. Pretty popular with the non-drinking crowd.

Brooke: Well, I’d love to get a bottle actually. We’re having some family over for new year’s eve.

Deacon: This is the last one, it’s spoken for, but we’re getting a new batch in so I can have one delivered to your place for new year’s eve.

Brooke: Okay.

Deacon: Yeah?

Brooke: That would be perfecT.

Deacon: Okay.

Brooke: Thank you.

Deacon: Is there anything else I can do for you? Not that I could ever repay you for everything you’ve done for me. You know, brooke, I gotta tell you, I just feel like this is the first time that I really have a shot at a decent life. And it’s because you’ve had your… your faith you’ve put in me. And… oh no.

Sheila: Am I interrupting?

Brooke: What is she doing here, deacon?

Paris: It felt like something out of one of those wholesome christmas movies. But it was real.

Steffy: That’s what christmas at my grandfather’s is all about. Carol song, eggnog flowing, gifts galore and a real true appreciation of the holidays.

Paris: I know you must be thrilled having your mom back in town for the holidays.

Steffy: I am so thrilled I haven’t seen her in ages. It’s so wonderful to have her back.

Paris: And thomas is excited too, I bet.

Steffy: Yeah, he is. My dad too. He and my mom are close even though they’re divorced.

Paris: Must have been tough when your family split.

Steffy: Yeah, yeah, it was. But, you know, of course, I wanted my parents to stay together. But no matter what, it still feels like a family, which is nice. Like the love is there.

Paris: I’m happy for you, steffy. All of you.

Steffy: Thank you. And plus, I got the best christmas gift, my mom says she is staying in L.A. So thomas, me, dad, we don’t have to say goodbye to her after the holidays. She’s going to be around for all of us.

Paris: So you had no idea your mom was coming back when she did?

Steffy: No idea. Complete surprise. She actually walked into my house.

Paris: Oh wow.

Steffy: It’s so crazy. I mean, like we talk all the time, we text and we video chat, but there’s nothing like having your mom there. You know those mom hugs? It’s nice. It’s really nice to have her back for the holidays.

Paris: That sounds magical. Yeah, it definitely is. Except for one guest.

Sheila: Happy holidays to you, too, brooke. Am I not supposed to spread a little bit of goodwill when I can? It’s the season, right?

Brooke: You never spread goodwill. You’re just interested in spreading chaos and your own brand of crazy.

Sheila: Oh well, well, well. What happened? Did somebody put a lump of coal in your stocking this year because you’re even nastier to me than–

Deacon: Okay, all right, ladies, please–

Brooke: You know, I’d like an explanation, deacon. You promised me that you were no longer associating with sheila.

Deacon: I know.

Brooke: Yet I allowed you into our home and into our family.

Deacon: I am so grateful for that.

Brooke: I even supported you spending time with hope on one condition: That you stay away from sheila. Yet here she is. And here you are. So, tell me what’s going on. Are you still involved with sheila? Super emma just about sleeps in her cape.

Paris: Well, obviously, that wasn’t what you expected.

Steffy: Yeah. Spending christmas eve with sheila? Absolutely not. But I do trust my mom’s reasoning for inviting her.

Paris: You just don’t trust sheila. I totally get that.

Steffy: Yeah. Why would I trust her? She’s like a crazy–

Zende: There you are. I’ve been looking everywhere for you.

Paris: You have?

Zende: I even had charlie put out an apb. There are men searching the building as we speak.

Paris: Stop.

Steffy: Wow, comedian. My cousin, wow.

Zende: Thank you.

Paris: One of his most endearing qualities.

Zende: Along with my ability to pull off incredible surprises. Speaking of which, christmas with you was really amazing. I’m just making sure we’re still on for new year’S. I’m thinking romantic dinner, followed by, well, let’s just say it’s going to be epic.

Steffy: Oh, come on, you got to give it more than that.

Zende: No, not happening, this guy’s lips are sealed.

[ Phone chiming ] Oh. And on that note, I have to meet someone. I will see you ladies a little bit later.

Paris: Bye.

Zende: Bye.

Steffy: I’m just going to say it right now, zende is into you. Wow.

Deacon: Okay, there is nothing romantic going on between me and sheila.

Brooke: Is it true?

Sheila: Well, we’re not sharing a bed right now.

Deacon: Okay, stop. All right? I live in a room in the back here. I work here. I mop up. I mean, come on. I didn’t call her and invite her here. It’s a public establishment. I can’t control what she does.

Sheila: Hello, hello. I’m right here. I can speak for myself.

Deacon: Look, all I’m saying is I don’t want to give brooke the wrong impression. Every single good thing that’s happened to me since I’ve gotten out of prison has been a result of hope and brooke being kind to me, all right? I’m not going to mess that up.

Sheila: And being around me, that’s messing it up?

Deacon: Yes! Because I gave them my word–

Sheila: Okay. Stop, stop, stop. You know, whatever you promised brooke and your daughter, that’s your business. But where I go and who I see, that is none of brooke’s concern. Now you might want to let her dictate your life, but she sure as hell isn’t going to dictate mine. It’s not like I have a lot of friends here in L.A. Anyway.

Brooke: That doesn’t surprise me.

Sheila: Fine, fine. Ol’ miss high and mighty. That’s what you do best, isn’t it? But, deacon… deacon’s my friend.

Brooke: But you can’t be in deacon’s life. He’s doing the best he can to turn himself around, and he’s doing a great job. He doesn’t need a negative influence in his life and that’s exactly what you are!

Sheila: Oh my god! You really believe you know what’s best for everyone, don’t you?

Brooke: Actually, I do in this case, yes. Deacon’s better off having nothing to do with you.

Sheila: Is that how you feel, too? I mean, is brooke speaking for you?

Deacon: I feel like in this situation? Yes, sheila. You know, we can’t be seeing each other.

Sheila: You know, you’ve always looked down your nose at me like you’re better than me, but you’re not brooke. I’m a registered nurse. I put myself through school. I made something of myself. And what did you do? You just slept your way up and down the forrester ladder.

Brooke: Oh, come on, sheila. You know my history. You know I went to college and I became a chemist, and then I created the believe formula, and made millions–

Sheila: Whatever, whatever. I cannot understand why ridge looks at you as his destiny when he already has a family with children and grandchildren with taylor. And one of those grandkids happens to be mine, too? I don’t understand why he would want to spend his life with an alcoholic slut like you, it’s beyond me!

Brooke: Oh, god!

Sheila: Yeah, that’s right. I said it. Stephanie forrester’s words. Once a slut from the valley, always a slut from the valley.

[ Chuckling ]

Brooke: You really are certifiable, aren’t you? You are completely insane.

From the very first touch,

Steffy: Zende is a true romantic, that’s for sure. Like most of the forrester men, it’s kind of like a family tradition.

Paris: What is?

Steffy: The big, romantic gesture? You know how my father proposed to my mom? By having a treasure hunt in the caribbean.

Paris: Really?

Steffy: Yeah, we were kids, and they told us the story over and over again, but I never get tired of hearing it. And thomas loved the part where the ring was the buried treasure. So cute.

Paris: Wow, your parents must have been really in love like you are with finn.

Steffy: And like zende is with you. I haven’t seen him so wrapped up like this with anyone. It just makes me curious, you know, to see what my cousin has in store for you on new year’s eve.

Zende: So, my special request from a few weeks ago, it’s actually ready?

Quinn: Yes, it is, and I’m sorry it took so long. I had to get my own life back in order, but I think you’re going to be pleased. I’m pretty happy with it if I do say so myself, and I think paris will approve. Yeah?

Zende: Approve?

[ Quinn chuckling ] You kidding me? This is just beyond anything I could have imagined, it’s stunning.

Quinn: It’s what I do.

Zende: No one does it better.

[ Quinn chuckling ] Wow. Thank you, quinn.

Quinn: You’re welcome. So, let me ask you a question. Does paris know that you’re about to propose?

Deacon: Enough, stop. Both of you. Sheila, I work here? You’re going to get me fired.

Sheila: Like she even cares. All she ever thinks about is herself.

Brooke: This is exactly why I didn’t want you associating with this woman. She is divisive and destructive.

Sheila: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, no. What I am is human. And I’ve made mistakes. Terrible mistakes that I have paid for. But you won’t even give me an opportunity to prove that to you. No, you don’t have even the simplest hint of forgiveness or understanding in you. Why can’t you just be more like taylor?

Brooke: Taylor?

Sheila: Yes, taylor, you remember. The ex mrs. Ridge forrester who can actually be compassionate and show empathy.

Brooke: What are you even talking about, sheila?

Sheila: I got to go to finn and steffy’s christmas eve, and I spent time with my son and my grandson.

Brooke: Okay, that’s kind of funny because steffy would never allow you in her home.

Sheila: But taylor would. She’s the one that talked finn and steffy into inviting me.

Brooke: Why on earth would taylor do something so dangerous?

Sheila: Because she’s kind and understanding and not condemning me. Why can’t you be like that?

Brooke: Never. Taylor may have opened the door to you, just a crack, but I’m going to make sure that I slam that door, I lock it, and I throw away the key.

Sheila: You know, why don’t you stop with all the bravado? Because there is nothing you can do about it.

Brooke: Yeah? You just watch me. I am gonna make sure you come nowhere near my family, especially steffy, finn, and hayes.

New vicks vapostick. Strong soothing vapors…

Brooke: If you think by manipulating taylor, you’re going to–

Sheila: I’m not manipulating taylor. She’s a world class psychiatrist. I wouldn’t be able to do that. She’d see me coming a mile away.

Brooke: Maybe, maybe not. Maybe she’s been gone so long she forgot how truly diabolical you are.

Sheila: Oh, my god! You just won’t quit. You won’t give me the slightest benefit of the doubt, something taylor is willing to do.

Brooke: I don’t even know why she would do that, sheila. You shot her. You kept her away from her family for years.

Deacon: We have to have a timeout, all right? Please before–

Sheila: Why? Why is that? Are you afraid I’m going to go after her? Is that it? And you’d love it, wouldn’t you? Especially in a public setting like this, because then you’d get everyone to believe your you warped opinion of me.

Brooke: I’m serious, sheila. I’m gonna do everything in my power to keep you away from our family and ridge will agree with me because he doesn’t like you either. And I’m going to make damn sure he knows how crazy you are.

Sheila: Please. Brooke, just don’t do this. Don’t come between my son, my grandson and me. Show a little bit of mercy.

Brooke: If it were anybody else, I might. But you’re dangerous, sheila. A sociopath. And steffy and her family need to be protected from you. I am going to make certain that you are out of all of our lives once and for all.

Deacon: Okay, look. It’s time to go. Let’s go. Come on, come on, come on.

Zende: It’s beautiful. Just like paris. Thank you again, quinn.

Quinn: You’re welcome. But you still didn’t answer my question. Does paris have even the slightest inkling that you are about to propose?

Zende: I’m not sure. Are you wondering if I’m moving into this too fast?

Quinn: That’s absolutely none of my business. But you clearly love her.

Zende: I do. I’m certain she’s the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. And I have to believe that paris feels the same way about me.

[ Sighing ]

Sheila: Brooke, brooke, brooke! Threatening to come between my son, my grandson and me. And take away my only friend in deacon. Why can’t she just leave me alone? Not like she’s never done anything wrong in her life. But how. How do I stop her? How do I put her in her place?

Deacon: It’s pretty popular with the non-drinking crowd. I’ll have a bottle delivered to your place for new year’s eve.

Sheila: This is how I stop brooke. And it all starts… new year’s eve. . . .

    WEATHER AND WINE – Scientists say climate change is altering the world’s prime wine-growing regions. Extreme weather episodes like unusual heat and damaging frosts are upending the practices and economics of winemaking, and in some cases, changing the taste of the wine itself – from Napa Valley to Spain, Italy and France. But the rising temperatures have also had other unforeseen effects like in Great Britain, where the warming weather has been a boon to England’s wine industry. Lesley Stahl traveled to France and Great Britain to document the impact of climate change on the great wine regions of the world. This is a two-part story. Richard Bonin is the producer. Preview
    DRAWING TRUTH TO POWER – Badiucao, China’s foremost political cartoonist and street artist, uses his pointed drawings to poke at Chinese President Xi Jinping and his authoritarian regime in public ways. He is best known for plastering large posters of his cartoons on walls all over Australia and Europe and online, such as a depiction of President Xi hunting for Winnie the Pooh after China censored images of the Disney character when an internet meme compared Xi’s appearance to Pooh. His drawings go viral worldwide after he posts them on social media, and he has predictably drawn the ire of the Chinese government. Now exiled in Australia, Badiucao, which is not his real name, was forced to use colorful ski masks to disguise his identity for years. Jon Wertheim interviews China’s artful dissident unmasked Sunday on 60 MINUTES. Draggan Mihailovich and Jacqueline Williams are the producers. Preview
