Belle: Hey, I got your message. Is there news about my mom?

Shawn: No, I wish there was.

Belle: Oh, well, then what’s so urgent?

Shawn: It’s brady.

[Monitor beeping]

Brady: Oh, god.

Chloe: How are you feeling?

Brady: Ooh. Um, I have a headache. I’m really achy. If I didn’t know better, I’d think I had a hangover or something. Why am I–why am i in the hospital?

Chloe: I was hoping you could tell me.

[Dramatic music]

Ava: You still haven’t seen my text. Where are you, rafe?

Gabi: Aw. Lose your boyfriend? Please say it’s for good.

Ej: Well, well, well. What have we here? What are you two doing out in the cold?

Nicole: We just ran into each other.

Ej: Mm. You were invited. You were not.

Rafe: I invited myself.

Ej: Ah.

Rafe: Official police business.

Ej: Regarding?

Rafe: Your sister. I’m sure you’ve heard that she managed to escape custody again. And seeing as though you’re such a tight-knit clan, I figured it’d be a good idea to interview the whole family.

Ej: Chad’s not available.

Rafe: I’ve already spoken with chad. He says he doesn’t have any idea how kristen managed to pull this off. What about you? Any ideas?

Ava: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Ej: Oh, I think you do, ’cause you helped my sister escape.

Ava: How do you know what’s going on with kristen? I read you refused to represent her to protect your image.

Ej: While I’m in no position to help kristen publicly, I have been watching her very closely. I’ve made it a point to have eyes and ears everywhere.

Ava: Really?

Ej: Mm. I know you used your “family connections” to intimidate the guards who were escorting her to statesville. You scared them into letting her go.

Rafe: I asked you a question.

Allie: Oh, my god, I thought you’d just gone somewhere to get over everything that happened with ej. I never would’ve thought you’d been kidnapped.

Sami: I heard you thought I had sent you a text saying I needed time away?

Allie: Yeah, I should have known you wouldn’t go that long without calling.

Sami: Did you miss me messing up your life?

Allie: I feel so bad. I mean, we should have been looking for you. You were probably so scared.

Sami: I was very scared. And then I realized they weren’t gonna kill me. And then I just got mad.

Allie: Thank god they didn’t hurt you.

Sami: I’m so glad to be home. Oh, allie, I love you so much.

[Tender music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

[Tense music]

Gabi: You know, I’d say grab a spoon, but I really don’t feel like sharing.

Ava: Oh, it must take a lot of energy to be such a bitch all the time.

Gabi: I just figure if I keep it up, you’ll get the hint and get out of here.

Ava: Oh, I’m not going anywhere, even after that number you pulled on me with rafe. He knows you’re a liar, so I’d watch my mouth if I were you.

Gabi: See, I’m not worried. It’s only a matter of time before you screw things up. You’ll get tired of playing the little hausfrau and cook up some other scheme, tell a bunch of lies, maybe have another dead guy on the floor. You know, rafe’s sweet, but he’s not stupid. One of these days, he’s gonna dump you. He’s gonna dump you for good.

Ava: [Scoffs]

Ej: I assure you, I had nothing to do with my sister’s vanishing.

Rafe: Hmm, well, she couldn’t have pulled off a trick like that by herself.

Ej: Didn’t come from me.

Rafe: Really?

Ej: Mm.

Rafe: ‘Cause you seem to be kristen’s nearest and dearest.

Ej: For the sake of my company, I’ve had to keep my distance.

Rafe: Really? Yeah, wouldn’t want to tarnish that noble dimera name.

Ej: Well, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but my hands are clean.

Rafe: Mm.

Ej: And even if she did have a coconspirator, she must have enlisted some other poor old soul.

Rafe: Any idea who?

Ej: Isn’t it your job to figure that out? In fact, that’s what you probably should do. I wouldn’t want to keep a beautiful woman waiting.

Rafe: Hmm. You two have a great night.

Ej: Mm.

Tripp: All right, yeah, blood pressure’s a little high, but that’s understandable. But after what you’ve been through, I’d say you’re in pretty good shape.

Sami: Look who sounds like a doctor.

Tripp: Yeah, it’s all talk right now. I still have a long way to go.

Allie: He does not. He is almost through with medical school.

Sami: Oh, wow. Good for you. See, told you I was gonna be fine.

Lucas: Yeah, well, what she’s not telling you is, the guy who was guarding her pushed her down, and she fell pretty hard.

Tripp: Did you hit your head?

Sami: No.

Lucas: Yes, you did.

Tripp: Did you lose consciousness?

Sami: No. Right?

Lucas: Yeah.

Tripp: Okay, well, I definitely suggest that you see a real doctor to let them check you out.

Lucas: She will. I’ll make sure she sees a real doctor. You’re gonna take it easy. You’re gonna be careful.

Sami: Okay. All right, lucas. Seriously, thank you so much for rescuing me. Your dad is a real hero.

Allie: Oh, I believe it. What bothers me is that we don’t know who the villain is.

Sami: Believe me, I want to know who it is too. Doesn’t your family deserve the best?

Chloe: So what’s the last thing that you remember?

Brady: [Sighs] Running–running into you at the pub. I was–I was getting takeout for dad. Is he okay? Is he all right?

Chloe: No, he’s fine. That’s really all you remember?

Brady: [Sighs] Everything–it’s all– everything’s a blank.

Chloe: So you don’t know why you went down to the river?

Brady: I went down to the river?

Chloe: Yeah.

Brady: How do you know that?

Chloe: Because I found you lying there on the ground.

Brady: Is that how I got in here? What the hell happened? Chloe, what, did I fall? Did I hit my head? My head feels like– what happened?

Chloe: I don’t know, but… you were passed out. And when you came to, you were– you were drunk, brady. Really drunk.

[Dramatic music]

Belle: I just can’t believe this. Brady hasn’t had a slip in ages.

Shawn: His blood alcohol was three times the legal limit.

Belle: So where is he now?

Shawn: He’s at the hospital, flushing his system out.

Belle: I just don’t understand this at all.

Shawn: Well, your dad wasn’t eating very much, so brady went to the pub to get him something that he thought he’d like better than the hospital food. And I don’t know, I guess, you know, the temptation was just a little too strong.

Belle: No, my family does not need this right now.

Shawn: I know. I know. I’m sorry. That’s–that’s not everything. Chloe’s the one that found him. He was passed out by the river’s edge, and he was covered in blood.

Belle: What? Why didn’t you tell me he was hurt?

Shawn: It wasn’t his blood.

Belle: Then whose was it?

Shawn: The blood type matches philip’S.

Ej: Dinner is in half an hour. Harold told me that chad and abigail have requested dinner in their suite, so it’s dinner for two. That is unless, of course, you’d like to invite rafe to join us.

Nicole: What does that mean?

Ej: Oh, I could see I was interrupting something close between the two of you. If you would like to finish what you started–

Nicole: Come on. That was all in your mind. We were talking about kristen.

[Sighs] Okay, fine.

Ej: Mm.

Nicole: We were having a moment.

Ej: Should I have stayed back? Not made my presence known?

Nicole: That would be you, wouldn’t it?

Ej: [Chuckles]

Nicole: Look, I know that I have to forget about rafe. I told you that.

Ej: Doesn’t seem like he wants that to happen.

Nicole: Of course he does.

Ej: Then why is he always sniffing around?

Nicole: That’s not what he’s doing. He’s– look, rafe agrees that we need to move on. It’s just a lot harder than we thought it would be.

Ej: Mm. Well, perhaps rafe could put in a little bit more effort.

Nicole: Oh, like you’re an expert in turning off your feelings toward someone? You think I haven’t noticed that you’re still pining for sami?

Ej: [Chuckles] We’ve been over this, nicole.

Nicole: Okay. So that night that you thought she called, I could have done the dance of seven veils and you still would’ve never noticed me.

Ej: That is sheer nonsense.

Nicole: Is it?

Ej: Mm-hmm.

Nicole: You can deny it all you want, but it takes one to know one. I might not be over rafe, but you are definitely not over samantha gene brady.

Sami: I mean, the whole time I was there, I never figured out who was in charge. I only saw these two humans, jason and pete, and believe me, they were not the ones calling the shots.

Lucas: Yeah, I tried to get that guy jason to give me the name of his boss, but he wasn’t talking. And then he escaped. I mean, I’ll bet you peter and jason weren’t even their real names.

Sami: Right.

Allie: So you still have no idea what they wanted from you?

Sami: Not a clue. First, I thought it was something to do with money maybe, but jason made it clear that that was not the issue.

Tripp: Okay, so his boss is rich.

Sami: Maybe. But I do think there is another motive.

Allie: Like what?

Sami: Revenge.

Lucas: Well, you do have your share of enemies, don’t you?

Sami: One person in particular leaps to mind.

Lucas: Who are you thinking of, sami?

Sami: I know who did this to me.

Limu emu… & doug

Brady: I don’t–I don’t– I don’t even remember thinking about picking up a drink, let alone doing it. I don’T.

Chloe: Well, then how did you get so wasted? Because you were. They drew your blood and it explains why you can’t remember anything.

Brady: You know how long I’ve been sober. How long I’ve been sober. Why would I screw that up, huh? Why would I do that?

Chloe: I don’t know. Okay, so the last thing you remember was seeing me in front of the pub. You went to go get john some food. But he told me that you never came back here with it.

Brady: All right. Hey, all right, let’s say I–let’s say I had some drinks. Let’s say I got drunk, which I didn’T. How did I get down to the river if I was so blackout drunk, huh? Answer me that.

Chloe: I don’t know.

Brady: And why would i go there?

Chloe: I don’t– philip and I went to the river to go check on the tree that we’d planted together. And when we got there, we saw that somebody had ripped the tree out of the ground, and your watch was lying there next to it. And there was no sign of you.

Brady: Okay.

Chloe: So I went looking for you. I left philip there. I came back here, and that’s when your dad told me that you never came back here with any food. So I went–I went back to the river and that’s when I found you lying unconscious there on the ground.

Brady: No.

Chloe: And philip was gone, and there was a knife lying next to you.

Brady: The knife– where did I get a knife?

Chloe: I don’t–

Brady: I have a knife?

Chloe: I don’t know. But all I know is that that knife and you we both covered in blood and it was the same blood type as philip’S.

Brady: What? What?

Chloe: Yeah. It’s true, brady.

Brady: What does–what does philip have to say about all of this?

Chloe: Nothing, because he’s still missing.

[Suspenseful music]

Brady: You think that I did something to him, don’t you?

Belle: So you’re saying that brady got loaded and went after philip with a knife. Why would he do that?

Shawn: I don’t know. I haven’t gotten a statement from him yet. But chloe confirmed what you said about brady being jealous of philip.

Belle: Well, did you get a statement from philip?

Shawn: No, we haven’t been able to track him down. Nobody can find him.

Belle: Oh, my god.

Shawn: And there’s a trail of blood, all right, the same blood that they found all over brady, that leads down to the river’s edge.

Belle: So you’re saying it looks like philip got knifed and then staggered down there and– oh, my god. Well, philip just has to be okay. He has to be.

Ava: I don’t think you get how deep rafe’s feelings are for me. I did screw up. Yeah. I did go behind his back and scheme with philip to steal your company. Guess what. He forgave me.

Gabi: Only because your plan was a dud. If you and philip had really pushed me out of gabi chic, you’d be on the street now.

Ava: And you weren’t here when rafe and I talked. He sees how you treat me, and he hates it. And he knows that’s why I did what I did. And you know what? I wouldn’t bank on me being the one who ends up on the street.

Gabi: You think you’re such an operator. But all you really are is just an ex-mafia princess who has no job, no home of her own, and only seems to be able to make some mediocre pasta.

Ava: [Laughs] Huh. You know, I’m also pretty good with one of these. So the next time you decide to shoot your mouth off, I’d remember how carmine merlino ended up on this kitchen floor.

[Tense music]

Rafe: What’s going on?

Ej: I don’t know why you persist in saying that samantha has some kind of hold over me. It’s simply not true.

Nicole: So when you thought she called you, why did you keep checking your phone every ten minutes?

Ej: Business. I was in the middle of a very important negotiation.

Nicole: [Laughs] You used to be a better liar than that.

Ej: [Chuckles] I don’t think you’re giving yourself enough credit here.

Nicole: What do you mean?

Ej: Why would I be thinking about my soon-to-be ex-wife when there is a fascinating, beautiful woman standing right in front of me?

Nicole: Mm. Oh, I have my charms. But I don’t know if anyone is charming enough to flush sami out of your system.

Ej: That’s ridiculous.

Nicole: That’s also what you say when you know I’m right. I guess marlena’s not the only one who has to exorcise a demon.

Ej: Well, then perhaps you could help me with that.

Nicole: I’m not a priest.

Ej: Oh, I have great faith in your abilities.

[Dramatic music]

Allie: All right, mom, don’t play games. Tell us who did this to you.

Lucas: Yeah, I’m interested to know the answer to that myself.

Sami: I thought you would’ve figured it out for yourself. It had to be nicole.

Lucas: What? Come on. No way. No way.

Sami: Are you kidding me? After I blew up her marriage to eric, she hates me for it.

Allie: So she hired someone to kidnap you?

Sami: Yeah. Payback.

Tripp: You guys always really talk like this?

Sami: Yeah, we do. You’ll get used to it.

Allie: I’m not saying nicole doesn’t hate you, but kidnapping?

Sami: Are you kidding me? She masterminded stealing my newborn child and giving me someone else’S.

Tripp: Did that really happen?

Sami: Yes, it did.

Allie: Okay, nicole’s different now.

Sami: Oh, please.

Tripp: I have seen her with your grandson; I mean, she seems like a good person.

Allie: Yeah, and she’s a wonderful, wonderful mother to holly. If she had you kidnapped, she could go to prison.

Lucas: That’s right. Allie’s right. Why would she risk that? Plus she already got back at you, didn’t she? I mean, she made sure that ej saw that letter that kristen wrote about you and me.

Allie: Yeah, okay? So see, your marriage is over, and so is hers, so you’re even.

Sami: Wait a second. Who said my marriage is over? I’ve got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Ej: Whoo! I feel liberated from my demons already. You?

Rafe: Nicole, is something wrong?

[Dramatic music]

Nicole: Yeah, I’m fine. It must have been that martini. It hit me harder than I thought.

Ej: Dinner will fix that. Are you ready to go to the dining room?

Nicole: Actually, I have a better idea. Let’s go to your bedroom.

Ej: Are you sure?

Nicole: Yeah, I have to get rafe out of my mind. You don’t feel used, do you?

Ej: Yes, but in a good way. I will do my best to wipe rafael hernandez from your consciousness.

Nicole: Okay.

Lucas: You don’t think your marriage is over? Ej made it perfectly clear he wants nothing to do with you.

Sami: That was three months ago, and I told him that I was not giving up on us.

Lucas: He kicked you out of the house.

Sami: Oh, it’s not his house. It’s gabi’S.

Lucas: What difference does that make?

Sami: I was going to rafe’s to talk to gabi. I was gonna ask her to let me stay at the mansion. Before I could even knock on the door…

[Sighs]

[Knocking] Gabi? Is anyone home?

[Knocking]

[Muffled screaming]

[Suspenseful music]

When I came to, I was in that room that you found me in. I lost my chance to talk to ej. I lost that beautiful necklace that he gave me. But I am back now, and I’m not gonna lose my husband too.

Gabi: Oh, rafe, oh, thank god you showed up. She’s trying to stab me.

Ava: I was just giving gabi a friendly reminder about pushing my buttons.

Gabi: Oh, no, no, there was nothing friendly about that. Well, come on. Are you gonna arrest her? She was trying to kill me.

Ava: My god, she’s up to her old tricks again, rafe.

Rafe: Are you okay? Are you bleeding?

Gabi: No, but that doesn’t mean anything that–

Rafe: Can you just go?

Gabi: Go where?

Rafe: Can you just–can you just go to your room, please? Just take your ice cream and go.

Gabi: Are you serious? Are you taking her side?

Rafe: Gabi, please, I have had a long night. Please, just go. Thank you.

Gabi: Okay, fine, I’m gonna go because jake is waiting for me.

Rafe: Okay.

Gabi: You know what? Don’t come crying to me when lizzie borden here stabs you in the back.

Ava: Oh, just so you know, she used an ax. So how was your night?

Chloe: I have no idea what happened. I was really hoping that you could tell me since philip is still missing. You’re the only one who knows anything.

Brady: [Sighs] My mind’s blank. I’m assuming you tried to call philip, right?

Chloe: Yeah, and his cell phone was in your coat pocket.

Brady: [Exhales heavily] Then that means– I mean, obviously I ran into him at some point.

Chloe: Well, shawn and i looked through his phone to maybe figure out where he went, and we just saw a bunch of texts from you.

Brady: Okay. All right, what did they say?

Chloe: Where do you keep your phone?

Brady: In my pants pocket.

Chloe: Do I have permission to check your pockets?

Chloe: Chloe, yeah, go ahead.

[Dramatic music]

Chloe, I didn’t send these. I didn’t send these.

Chloe: Are you sure, or you just don’t remember?

Shawn: Here’s a printout of philip’s text messages that came from brady’s phone.

Belle: “Philip, you don’t deserve to be with chloe. If you don’t cut yourself out of her life, I’ll have no choice but to cut you out of it myself.” Brady would never say something like that.

Shawn: Even if he was really drunk?

Belle: Okay. Maybe he’s in love with chloe, but he would never hurt philip. Come on.

[Phone rings]

Shawn: Yeah. Brady. Okay. Thank you. Well, forensics found one set of prints on that knife. It’s brady’S.

At progressive,

we love your pets

Brady: Let me get–let me get this straight. You think that I got so drunk, so damn drunk that I couldn’t remember a damn thing. Somehow I found a knife, and then I went down to the river. And then I went over to that tree of yours and I ripped it up out of the ground. And then I sent some threatening texts to philip. Is that what you’re saying?

Chloe: That’s what it looks like.

Brady: Does it make any sense, chloe? Chloe, I’ve–listen, you’ve never been as drunk as you say that I was. But I have. Let me tell you something. You can’t even remember your name. You can’t even say your name, let alone send threatening texts to somebody and then make good on the threat.

Chloe: No, shawn thinks that maybe you went to the river to find philip and me.

Brady: Did shawn happen to mention how I would know that you would be down at the river? ‘Cause the last thing you told me was that you were going back to the kiriakis mansion to have dinner with philip.

Chloe: I don’t know. I don’t know how to explain any of this. But you were there, and there was a knife with you.

Brady: It was not–it was lying next to me, right? It was lying next to me.

Chloe: It gets worse. Shawn said that they found a trail of blood, the same blood type that you were covered in, that led down to the river. And he’s now got men dragging the river for a body.

Brady: He thinks–he thinks philip is–philip is dead?

[Dramatic music]

Belle: I get how bad this looks, but I mean, come on, there has to be some other explanation. There are no witnesses.

Shawn: Yet.

Belle: All of the evidence that you have is circumstantial. And you don’t even have brady’s statement yet.

Shawn: No, I don’T. I’m just–I’m just saying that it looks really bad.

Belle: Okay. Well, a lot of people have type o positive blood. Do you know for sure that the blood at the scene is philip’s?

Shawn: Look, we’re working on it.

Belle: So you do don’t know.

Shawn: Okay, counselor, you know what? You’re right. Okay, but there is blood on that knife, and it belongs to somebody. That doesn’t make anything better for brady.

Belle: You don’t have a case, shawn. Come on, you know it.

Shawn: Okay, I’ll admit I would be much happier if I had a dna sample from philip, all right? I was gonna get a warrant to go down and search his room at the kiriakis house and find something that we could test. But I just didn’t want to upset victor unless I really had to.

Belle: Well, you don’t have to. I know a much faster way to get philip’s dna.

Ava: So here’s the burger that you didn’t get the chance to eat earlier. I kept it warm, but the fries got a little limp. Sorry about that.

Rafe: Thank you. It’s all right. I’m so hungry, I’ll eat ’em anyway.

Ava: Good. I forgot the ketchup.

Rafe: Mm.

Ava: So you talked to xander. Did he know anything about how kristen escaped?

Rafe: Well, he says that he hates her and he wouldn’t lift a finger to help her. And honestly, I kind of believe him.

Ava: Mm, so is that where you’ve been all night, with xander?

Rafe: Well, actually, I went from there over to start questioning the dimera family.

Ava: Any luck?

Rafe: Chad was the only one there when I got there. He actually just found out that kristen had escaped.

Ava: Oh. I guess that’s what took you so long to get home.

Rafe: Actually, that’s not all. When I was leaving, I ran into nicole.

Nicole: Whoo!

Sami: Thank you again. Lucas, I better get going.

Lucas: Where? Where are you going?

Sami: I’m gonna go see ej, of course. He must be worried about me.

Allie: Mom, come on.

Sami: Well, I know he was mad, okay, about what happened. But that was three months ago. I’ve been gone for three months. And now that he knows that I was in danger–

Allie: He doesn’t know that.

Sami: What?

Allie: He still thinks that you left on your own.

Sami: Nobody told him that I had been kidnapped?

Lucas: What do you want us to do? We found out this morning, okay? We didn’t have time to tell him. I was busy rescuing you. Sorry.

Sami: Of course not. I understand. But you couldn’t call him?

Allie: Mom, grandma’s missing. Grandpa john is in the hospital. I mean, the only person I had time to tell was tripp. I have a lot on my plate right now.

Tripp: She does.

Sami: Yeah, I understand. And maybe it’s for the best, right? I’ll be the one to tell ej about my ordeal. Oh, poor man.

Lucas: Poor man?

Sami: He’s gonna be in for such a shock.

Lucas: Man, you gotta be be kidding me, poor man. You are gonna go crawling back to that bum? Are you serious?

I’ve lost count of how many asthma attacks I’ve had.

Sami: Lucas, I would appreciate it if you didn’t talk about the man that I love like that.

Lucas: Why are you doing this, sami? You know he treats you like dirt.

Sami: I’m not completely blameless, and there’s no time like the present to try to work things out.

Lucas: You just got out of a horrible situation. Why would you put yourself right in the middle of another one?

Sami: Are you comparing my marriage to being held hostage?

Lucas: Honestly, I don’t see much difference, to tell you the truth.

Sami: [Scoffs] Okay. Look, lucas, you saved me. You have no idea how happy I was to see you, but you are being ridiculous.

Lucas: Why don’t you just take a break from ej, go to the hospital, have ’em check you out, see if you can get a clean bill of health? Do that.

Sami: I feel fine. And dr. Johnson here already checked me out. He said I’m fine.

Lucas: He’s not a real doctor.

Allie: Yet.

Tripp: I would have to say that I didn’t see any obvious signs of damage to your health.

Sami: See?

Lucas: Will you stop? Dude, work with me a little bit, please.

Tripp: But I meant it when I said that you should get a complete checkup.

Sami: Are you serious right now? You’re using your daughter’s boyfriend to further your agenda? Do you realize that’s a little pathetic?

Lucas: You know what? The only agenda I have right now is to make sure you’re okay, that you get plenty of rest, and you get a bite to eat and maybe–

Sami: Okay, okay. Stop. I’m fine. Thank you for everything. But I am gonna go see my husband, get my marriage back.

[Dramatic music]

Nicole: Do you remember the first time we made love?

Ej: Hmm, it was during a blackout, and we were stuck in an elevator at the salem inn.

Nicole: It was so hot.

Ej: I’ll say.

Nicole: [Laughs] Uh-huh. I meant the heat wave and the ac being out.

[Both laugh]

Ej: But you have to admit that lovemaking was also pretty steamy.

Nicole: Yes, it was.

Ej: And now here we are in each other’s arms again after all these years. Would you say it’s still as good as you remember?

Nicole: It’s different somehow.

Ej: Different bad or different good?

Nicole: Different good.

Ej: Mm. Then I guess the question is, was it good enough to make you forget about rafe?

[Both laugh]

Ava: So… you ran into nicole?

Rafe: Mm-hmm. I was leaving the dimera house, and then she showed up to have dinner with ej.

Ava: Mind telling me what you two talked about?

Rafe: Just hear me out. I understand. I know that you want to put what happened behind us. I do, and there’s nothing more that I would want than to give you what you want. I’m trying so damn hard to put it out of my mind. I just– I don’t know if I can right now. Or maybe…even ever. Just gave her an update on kristen.

Ava: Why?

Rafe: Why? Because last time kristen was here, she held nicole and holly hostage and impersonated her. And so I was just reassuring her that it wasn’t gonna happen again.

Ava: Okay, I see. Of course.

Rafe: And then ej, he showed up, so I started grilling him about what he knew.

Ava: And what did he have to say?

Rafe: He just said he was keeping his distance from kristen, and I don’t believe him. I mean, I know that those two are close; I think he’s lying through his teeth.

Belle: Philip’s dna report is already in the hospital database.

Shawn: How do you know that?

Belle: Oh, please. He’s had more than his fair share of paternity tests.

Shawn: Oh, you’re right.

Belle: Mm.

Shawn: And forensics already sent over the dna report of the blood on the knife.

Belle: So you just need to call and see if it’s a match.

Shawn: Exactly what I was thinking. Thank you.

Belle: [Sighs] Brady, what have you done?

Chloe: Shawn is now treating this as a homicide.

Brady: [Sighs] Oh, god.

Chloe: But it’s shawn. He’ll keep an open mind.

Brady: Chloe, it’s no secret that philip and I have been at each other’s throats lately.

Chloe: Well, there’s something else I didn’t tell you.

Brady: Might as well just tell me–what?

Chloe: Well, when I was with you and you finally came to, you looked at me and you said, “screw philip. He doesn’t deserve you.”

Brady: I’ve been saying stuff like that for weeks. Doesn’t mean that it entered my mind to stab him.

[Sighs] Chloe, I wouldn’t hurt him. He’s family. Serena: It’s my 3:10

Brady: Chloe, listen to me. Listen to me. Look at me. I swear on my kids’ lives, I did not attack philip. I would’ve remembered if I did.

Chloe: It’s just shawn’s theory for now.

Brady: I don’t give a damn what shawn thinks. I care about what you think. It’s important to me. Do you think I did something to philip?

[Dramatic music]

Belle: Well?

Shawn: Well, you were right. Philip’s dna report was available. All they had to do was compare the two, and… it’s a match. It’s philip’s blood on that knife.

Allie: Oh, you’re a hero.

Lucas: Yeah, right. Get outta here

Allie: You are. You brought mom home.

Lucas: Yeah, well, if I had known she was gonna go back to ej, maybe I would’ve left her there.

Allie: Dad.

Lucas: What? Just kidding. I mean, sort of.

Nicole: Hmm. Is sex with you good enough for me to forget about rafe? Huh, I am gonna have to mull that over.

[Both laugh]

Ej: Oh, that’s not what I was hoping for.

Nicole: No? What about you? Were you able forget all about your passionate nights with your precious samantha?

Ej: Samantha. I don’t believe I know anyone by that name.

Nicole: Oh.

Ej: Mm.

[Suspenseful music]

What do you want from me?

Steffy: When are you gonna

be fed up and come home?

You have a family here.

Me, thomas, mom, we love

you and we don’t want

to see you hurting.

We miss our family, dad.

I miss you. Finn? I thought you weren’t going to finish your shift till late. Mom.

Taylor: Hi, sweetheart. I’m back.

Ridge: How’s that? A little better?

Brooke: Oh yeah, that’s much better. Ugh.

Ridge: You shouldn’t do that. You carry so much tension in your shoulders.

Brooke: I know. But I won’t, you know, if I have your big, strong hands wrapped around me.

Ridge: Oh yeah? You know, there are other ways you can get rid of tension. And I don’t just mean upstairs. I mean, you could uh, send deacon packing.

Brooke: Uh… really not that simple.

Ridge: Yeah, I know. Probably not.

[Notification rings] Do you mind just…

Brooke: [Clearing throat] It’s thomas. “Overstep?” What is he talking about, overstep?

Ridge: We were having a conversation. Yesterday, I ran into thomas and steffy after I left here, ’cause I needed some air and they um, they were just talking about their childhood, you know? And, about their mother.

Brooke: Their mother?

Ridge: Yeah. They reminded me that I do have another family, with them and taylor.

[Knocking]

Deacon: Yeah, I’m up. I’m up. Come on in. Hey. Uh, the bathroom’s clean. Is there something else you need?

Paul: Look, as long as everything is spotless when the health inspector gets here, a’right?

Deacon: Okay.

Paul: We’re gonna open soon, so I’ve got to start stocking the bar. I just wanted to let you know you have a visitor.

Deacon: A visitor?

Sheila: Well, well, well, well… so, this is where you’re living… in a storage closet.

[Chuckles]

Deacon: This is, uh, just temporary. Until I get back on my feet.

Sheila: You know… this is– this is really ridiculous. Why don’t you just come back to my hotel… … with me?

Deacon: No.

Sheila: Why not?

Deacon: Because I don’t want to let hope and brooke down.

Sheila: Well hope, I understand. But brooke? Seriously?

Brooke: Well, that’s kind of a strange way to put it. I mean, it’s not like you have a second life or another family… and you were always there for them, ridge. I hope you’re not feeling guilty. Are you? I mean, if you are you should spend a little more time with them. I love steffy and thomas. I was there when they were little. I mean, I helped raise them with you. I don’t want them to feel like that. They need to feel secure in their relationship with their father… especially considering who their mother is…

Ridge: And what is that supposed to mean?

Brooke: Well, if they’re really upset about about their little lost “family,” then they should look at their mother. Taylor wasn’t even here for steffy’s wedding. She’s somewhere half-way around the world doing her volunteer work. If she really wanted to be here, she could have, ridge.

Ridge: Let’s not make it sound like she was on vacation, somewhere. She’s working. She’s in africa helping people, people who really need it. She’s been through a lot. What sheila did. I don’t even know what that would do to a person so we should try not to, uh, to say anything against taylor.

Steffy: Mom! I can’t believe you’re here. The one and only taylor hayes is in L.A. What? Did thomas know about this? I’m gonna smack him for not saying anything.

Taylor: No, no, I didn’t tell a soul. I wanted to surprise both of you.

Steffy: Well, you did. Com– come on, here. Let me get your bags. Tell me everything. What is going on here?

Taylor: Everything? Oh gosh, where do I start? How much time do you have?

Steffy: All the time that you can give. I mean, finn’s at work; the kids are napping…

Taylor: Oh.

Steffy: I’m sure you’re dying to see them and hold them… oh, my goodness.

Taylor: Yes. Oh, my gosh, my beautiful granddaughter. And my, beautiful little boy, my namesake. You bet I am.

Steffy: I could wake them up

Taylor: Uh, no. No, don’t do that. Don’t do that. I’ll peek in on them. We can save the hugs for later. But not too much later.

Steffy: Fair warning: You’re not gonna wanna let them go.

Taylor: I’m sure.

Steffy: I can’t believe it! You’re here. What? This is amazing. Oh, my goodness. Hi. So you’re the scientist here.

Paul: Hey deacon?

Deacon: YeaH.

Paul: Do you mind running these waters over to this table?

Deacon: Sure.

Sheila: Wait.

Deacon: What?

Sheila: Seriously, you are working and, and sleeping here?

Deacon: Yeah, what of it?

Sheila: Are you certain that’s a wise decision, crashing at a bar?

Deacon: A restaurant that happens to have a bar. And I’m fine, thank you. I’m avoiding the bottles. Trying to avoid you…

Sheila: Ooh. Ouch. So, you would rather sleep with a mop than sleep with me? Come on. Why don’t you just come back to the hotel? I’ve got more than enough space.

Deacon: No, no. I can’T. Alright? If I get caught hanging out with you, I’m never gonna have a chance to have a place in my daughter’s life. Ridge will make sure of it.

Brooke: Okay, look. I don’t want to make a big deal about this. I don’T. I understand. But what does bother me is thomas and steffy chatting you up, saying how much better your life was with their mother.

Ridge: Is that what you heard?

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: I don’t remember saying any– what I said was, they were feeling a little bit nostalgic.

Brooke: Oh, that’s conveniently-timed nostalgia. It was right after you left here angry with me.

Ridge: I’m not angry with you. I’m angry with the situation. I love you. Look at you. How can I… and I can’t hide my feelings about deacon. And about the decision that you and hope are making, I think it’s wrong.

Hope: Sorry, I just…

[Sighs] You two are talking about my dad.

Ridge: Yeah, talking about your dad. Unless he just magically disappeared. You know how this is gonna end. You’re gonna get hurt. There’s a way to avoid this. Doesn’t have to be that way. Why don’t– why don’t you help her? Step up and tell her who this man really is. Why are you guys not listening to me?

Taylor: Kelly’s getting so big.

Steffy: I know.

Taylor: Oh, and hayes, that sweet, little boy… seeing him up close. It is so much better than on the computer.

Steffy: Oh, right? I mean, we loved video chatting with you but nothing compares to having you here. I miss you.

Taylor: Oh, I miss you, too. I’m sorry it’s been so long.

Steffy: Oh, I–I understand. You’ve been busy with work, and volunteering around the world… making a real difference. And I’m really proud of you.

Taylor: Well, thank you. But I should’ve come back for your wedding.

Steffy: I would have liked that. But finn and I understood. It’s fine. Yeah, we und– we understand. You had your reasons.

Taylor: As much as I wanted to be here for you, the thought of sitting across from your father and brooke… I– after all these years, I still find it so difficult. I just… I loved our family so much. I still do–

Steffy: Oh, I know. I understand that completely. And don’t worry about the wedding. All that matters is that you’re here. Motrin works fast to stop pain where it starts.

Sheila: Oh… you’re nervous about the sexual tension between us, aren’t you?

Deacon: Oh, god. You got me. Come on, sheila, we’re friends. That’s it. And even just saying that is flirting with disaster.

Sheila: Well, actually it wouldn’t take much flirting at all. Just come back to the hotel with me. Let’s see what happens.

Deacon: I think I’m better off cuddling with my mop, okay? But, thank you.

Sheila: Okay, fine. But, you know what? This really has nothing to do with threatening your relationship with hope at all, does it? No. This has to do with brooke and this insane idea that you still have in your mind that– that you have a future with her. It’s never gonna happen.

Deacon: What can I say? A boy can dream.

Sheila: What are you doing?

Deacon: I want to do something special for hope and I don’t know what so I thought maybe I’d, you know, I’d text brooke and ask her for some ideas…

Sheila: Oh.

Deacon: What?

Sheila: This has nothing to do with hope. No. You are– you are doing everything you can to reach out to brooke, aren’t you?

Deacon: Bye.

Brooke: I wish you would just trust us.

Ridge: But trusting you means trusting deacon, and I can’t do that.

Hope: Okay, what has he done that’s so horrible since he’s gotten out of prison? Can you name one thing?

Ridge: I can name 20 things but let’s start with one– he hooked up with sheila.

Hope: Okay, okay, that was not the best judgment. But he realized that and he ended things.

Ridge: No, he ended things because he realized how it would look to you. Why do you guys not see that I’m– I’m here because I want to take care of both of you.

Brooke: And we love you for that. But it’s really not necessary.

[Phone dinging] Hope knows that deacon might be a disappointment to her but if she’s willing to take that chance, then…

Ridge: That’s him, isn’t it?

Brooke: Yes.

Ridge: Fantastic. See, that’s what I’m talking about. Why– why does he do this? Why is he around here? He thinks he owns this place? He can text you? He can call you? He can’t do that? How does he get your number? He represents the worst mistake of your life and you’re about to make it again.

Taylor: I love the work I’m doing. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities I’ve been given. It’s immensely satisfying helping others… but if I’m being honest, moving to paris, signing up for missionary work… it was all a convenient excuse to stay away. Being far from home, often unreachable. It just made it easier on me.

Steffy: You don’t– you don’t have to say it. I understand. You didn’t want to put on a fake smile, and pretend to be happy while dad lived out his fantasy with brooke. I get it.

Taylor: I don’T. I should’ve let go a long time ago. Why do I still hold onto the hurt from losing your father?

Steffy: Because you thought he was “the one,” mom.

Taylor: Okay, enough about that. I have missed you so much. And I am so proud of you for finding the greatest husband in finn– even though his birth mother is sheila carter. My god.

Steffy: I know.

Taylor: She is not going to cause you any more trouble as long as I’m here. I promise you that.

Steffy: You have no idea how much I needed to hear that. I’m so happy you’re here! Please tell me, you’ll stay for a while.

Taylor: I think I might.

Steffy: Oh, my god. Thank god.

When you have nausea,

Ridge: I’m begging you, both of you: See my side.

Brooke: I do, ridge. I promise you. But how can I deny hope the opportunity to get to know her father? I shielded her from deacon her entire childhood. And rightfully so. But now she’s a grown woman. She can take care of herself.

Ridge: You’re gonna take care of her and you’re gonna protect her until the day you die. It’s never gonna end.

Hope: And I appreciate that, I do. But ultimately, it is my decision to make. And I have chosen to have my dad be a part of my life. And– and if there are consequences, then I will live with them–

Ridge: When there are consequences. When. Hope, I get it. You want to believe in him. And you know what? Who knows? Maybe you’re right. Maybe he is on the straight and narrow, maybe… maybe he is a changed man. Maybe this is not a con. But one day it will be. And it’s gonna end up the way it always ends up–

Hope: And until that day, I will have spent some quality time with my dad, which is something I haven’t gotten much of in my life.

Ridge: No, I understand. You want that little girl fantasy with your daddy. That’s what you want. And what about you? You know who he is. You know exactly who he is. And you know how I feel about him. And still you– I can’t do this.

Brooke: Ridge. Ridge, wait! Ah!

Sheila: No response. How shocking.

Deacon: She’s probably taking her time so she can come up with some really good ideas, alright?

Sheila: You know, I wouldn’t hold your breath.

Deacon: Okay, yeah. I get that you’re jealous but you don’t have to be snarky–

Sheila: Well, wouldn’t you be? If I were making great strides with my son and you weren’t with your daughter?

Deacon: Look, it’s gonna happen for ya. At least I hope it will for your sake. I gotta tell ya, it’s an amazing feeling getting to know my daughter and knowing that brooke supports it? I can’t blow this.

Sheila: You really think you’ve got a shot with brooke?

Deacon: I don’t know. Listen, brooke and ridge’s little romance has survived a hell of a lot worse than me but maybe… just maybe there’s a glimmer of hope?

[Chuckles] It’s the smile. I’m very charming.

Hope: Are you alright? Because ridge just stormed out once again.

Brooke: Yeah, well. It’s okay. He just needs time to think. It’s just really hard on him. It’s hard on me too. But eventually, he’s going to have to accept your decision. He just has to. Honey. Don’t worry, okay? Everything’s gonna be just fine. Ridge and I are solid. Nothing or no one is going to come between us.

Ridge: Oh, steffy. Sorry for coming by unannounced but didn’t want to drink alone.

Taylor: Hey, ridge.

Ridge: Taylor.

Steffy: Dad, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to–

Ridge: No, no, don’t apologize for how you feel.

But still, brooke is your wife and I don’t–

Thomas:–And so is mom. You loved her. Dad, I know you did.

Ridge: Yeah, I did. I loved taylor. We had… many happy years together.

Thomas: And many not so happy, courtesy of brooke.

Ridge: That can’t have been easy for you guys, I’m sorry.

Steffy: We’re not blaming you. It’s just… we miss our family. You know, the family we could have been if you hadn’t left mom for brooke.

Hope: I think we should hopefully, ideally–

Brooke: I know, I know–

[Talking over each other]

Brooke: Remember?

Hope: Dad, is everything alright?

Deacon: Yeah. Uh, I’m– I’m just gonna have to get going pretty soon.

Brooke: Are you meeting somebody later?

Deacon: Yeah. Yeah, hot date with gal gadot.

Hope: Uh… um, okay. Well, are the three of us all right, then? We’re good?

Deacon: Uh, I’m good. You good, brooke?

Hope: Mom… I mean, dad is a changed man. He’s proving it every day.

Deacon: Hope, unfortunately, some people don’t want to see that.

Yeah, well– it– what you said, all you want is acceptance and love and family. And I know I’m seeing it. And I think you do too. Don’t you, mom?

Bill: If only hope hadn’t written all those letters to deacon while he was in prison–

Liam: I know, but that’s the thing. It’s hard to blame her for that part ’cause like it or not, the guy is her father.

Bill: Eh. Come on. In name only. That poor excuse for a man has been M.I.A. For basically the entirety of hope’s life. Now suddenly what? The- the convict has sprouted angel wings and he’s trying to bond with his– with his kind-hearted, well-connected daughter? It has con written all over it.

Liam: I know but hope doesn’t see that.

Bill: Yeah, because she has daddy issues. So, beep-beep-beep-beep-boop. He’s pushing all of her emotional buttons and she is falling for it. Now look, I know you’ve tried to give her some much needed perspective. But liam, you’re gonna have to try harder ’cause it ain’t working. You can not let deacon get close to your wife and children. You can’t let that happen.

Liam: I mean, I hear what you’re saying, I agree with what you’re saying, it’s just–

Bill: It- it’s a delicate situation, I get that.

Liam: Yeah, I– I can’t just tell my wife what to do.

Bill: Liam, you– your marriage is only part of the equation. What about your family? Right? Sharpe has already wormed his way back into hope’s life in record time while his next target is gonna be his granddaughter. My grand–! Sorry. My granddaughter. Before you know it, he’s going to be bouncing beth on his knee if you don’t do something to stop it.

Liam: Like what? What am I supposed to do? I mean– game this out with me, okay? Say I go to hope and I say, “I’m drawing a line in the sand. Deacon is allowed nowhere near our daughter. How do you think hope is going to react to that? I’ll tell you what I think. I think it’s not only gonna put a strain on our marriage, it’s gonna push her closer to deacon!

Bill: Maybe. But if you don’t do nothing, he’s gonna get further entrenched in your lives. And that’s absolutely the last thing you want.

Hope: It’s okay to admit it. It’s not being disloyal to ridge. It’s just acknowledging that deacon has been trying–

Deacon: Sweetheart, I– I appreciate your support. I really do. But, your mom’s in a tough place here. I don’t want to make it any worse. I mean, on the one hand, you’re her daughter, ridge is her husband. She wants to be supportive of both of you.

Hope: Even if ridge is making that increasingly difficult?

[Brooke groans gently]

Ridge: I know, uh, I know I could’ve handled that situation better. It was complicated. Feelings are complicated.

Thomas: Yeah, your feelings for mom and your feelings for brooke.

Steffy: How you went back and forth between them, for years.

Ridge: Okay, I-I can only imagine how hard that was for you… phoebe. But you gotta know that my love for you never waivered. Ever.

Steffy: Of course we know that. Always.

Thomas: Yeah, still doesn’t change the fact that you chose a life with brooke over us and our mother, does it?

Liam: After–

Waiter: I’ll take this when you’re ready.

Liam: Thanks.

Bill: Thanks.

Liam: After everything hope and I have been through–

[Chuckles] You know, like, the thing with beth and then vinny and now this– I– I swear to god, there’s like– there’s this dark cloud just hanging over our heads.

Bill: Deacon is a dark cloud, alright. But he can be managed. You just have to go about it the right way. You sure you don’t want me to step in?

Liam: No, no. No. It’s just– it would get too complicated, wiht you in the picture. Especially since as you know, once upon a time, hope was advising me to steer clear of you and for some pretty good reasons. The only difference is hope didn’t order me not to have you in my life.

Bill: Which is what she thinks you’re trying to do with her father now.

Liam: I love my wife. You know? I admire her. I admire the things that she’s accomplished. So, I don’t want to look like I’m being disrespectful to her or insensitive to her.

Bill: Oh, come on, liam. You could never do either one of those things. You are a kind, caring, compassionate man. You are in touch with your wife’s feelings. That’s what makes you such a great husband. But you are not wrong about deacon. And just because hope doesn’t see it, doesn’t mean it isn’t true. Deacon was, is and will always will be big time trouble.

Brooke: I appreciate syour concern, deacon, I do. But ridge and I are just fine. He just needs time to cool off.

Deacon: Sorry. Something tells me no amount of “cooling off” is gonna get ridge to change his opinion of me. He’s thinks I’m here to wreck your life and yours. Deacon sharpe: Human bulldozer.

Hope: Okay, dad, don’t even joke about that. I hate that ridge thinks of you that way. Because it– it basically led to him ordering my family to move out all because he just doesn’t want you around. And if mom hadn’t taken a stand, not only for me but for you too, then…

Brooke: Well, nobody’s gonna force my daughter out of here. That’s not gonna happen. You live here with your husband and with your children. And you can stay here for as long as you want. Do I wish things didn’t escalate the way they did? Yes, of course. Do I wish ridge handled things differently? Yes. But I know my husband. He’s just really frustrated. And he thinks he’s doing the best for us, hope.

Hope: I understand that, I do. But like I told ridge, if I am wrong about my dad– which I am not– then I will live with the consequences. I just– I don’t want it to create a wedge between you two.

Brooke: I won’t let that happen.

Deacon: Maybe not, brooke. But as long as I’m in the picture in any way… let’s just say you’re going to have your work cut out for you when it comes to ridge.

Steffy: Dad, we’re not trying to make you feel guilty.

Ridge: Mm-hm.

Steffy: Thomas and I know there were extenuating circumstances when our family broke up.

Thomas: And we know that you have always had a special place in your heart for mom.

Ridge: Absolutely. She’s a lovely woman and a lovely mother.

Thomas: She’s just not brooke. And thank god for that-

Ridge: Okay, st– you know what? No. I know you both have your problems with brooke. But she’s part of our family. It’s– it’s a dysfunctional family but it’s working.

Thomas: Except when it doesn’t, like right now.

Steffy: Like when brooke sides with her daughter.

Ridge: No one is taking sides. Okay, alright. Maybe she is taking sides.

Thomas: Logans stick together. They put each other first.

Steffy: You know who used to put you first? Mom.

Thomas: She misses you, dad.

Steffy: Look, I know thomas and I get to spend so much time with you but we miss our family.

Thomas: Yeah.

Steffy: Me, thomas, mom and you.

Bill: Sharpe is definitely running a con. The first move was to win back his daughter, have hope fully on his side so when he makes his move– whenever that turns out to be– everyone’s guards will be down and never see it coming.

Liam: You think that’s what this is?

Bill: I know that’s what it is. Come on, liam, you know your dad. I swim with the biggest corporate sharks in the world. I have been around the block. I know what I’m looking at. Once a con man, always a con man. Not that sharpe’s ever been particularly good at it. But that doesn’t mean he can’t do some damage. So you are absolutely right to want to keep hope and the kids as far away from him as possible. And if that means upsetting hope, so be it. You are a man protecting his family. There is no fault in that.

[Phone dinging]

Hope: That gal gadot again?

Deacon: Will not leave me alone. I– I don’t even know what to do with this girl. Ah, seriously though, um, I just– I just want you to know how much it means to me that you’ve accepted me and you’ve welcomed me here. It really does mean everything. And I just want to point one thing out: That I haven’t hit either of you up for anything– no handouts. Because the old deacon definitely would have been working every angle he could to get what he wanted. And you know, I’m just– I’m not that guy anymore. I think I really realize what’s important and that’s– that’s being in your life, being your dad and being in your life as our daughter’s dad.

Hope: Well I believe in you. And I’m proud of you, too.

Thomas: This is not something that steffy and i just sit around talking about. But dad, it’s never been the same, y’know? I mean our family, when it was whole, when we were together, when we had our mother with us…

Steffy: We’re not blaming you. You were being pulled in two different directions. Brooke was relentless.

Thomas: Yeah. And she’s doing it again. She’s forcing you to make a choice. This time not between our mother and her, but still a choice, nevertheless.

Steffy: That choice is gonna end in heartache for both of them. Hope and brooke are insisting that deacon be welcomed and accepted regardless of his past and the damage he’s caused.

Thomas: And we can see the toll it’s taking on you.

Steffy: Yeah, we can see it. But I don’t think brooke can.

Thomas: And like you said, steffy, uh, brooke has always been surrounded by scandal and deacon was her greatest scandal ever. Now he’s back for a repeat performance and she should be thinking of the implications of that, but she’s not, she’s not thinking at all.

Steffy: Dad, we love you. And we know you love brooke. We’ve accepted that. And honestly, no matter how old we get, we’re always gonna wonder what things would have been like if you stayed with mom instead of choosing brooke and the logans. Do you wonder that too, sometimes?

Deacon: Hey, paul.

Paul: ‘Bout time. Didn’t you get my texts?

Deacon: Yeah. I was with my daughter. What’s up?

Paul: So the health inspector’s coming tomorrow. The manager wants the kitchen scrubbed, top to bottom.

Deacon: Okay. Anything else?

Paul: Bathrooms. Don’t forget that.

Deacon: I think I really realize what’s important and that’s– that’s being in your life, being your dad.

Hope: Well, I believe in you. And I’m proud of you, too.

Liam: You know, it was kinda nice just catching up with my dad, today. I realized I don’t see him that often outside of work.

Hope: So, it’s uh… good to have that fatherly presence around. Right? I mean, I just wish you might understand why…

Liam: Why you would want someone like deacon om your life?.

Hope: You and I didn’t always have our fathers as part of our lives growing up and now you do have bill to rely on–

Liam: I– I– alright, I… I know. I know. I know that, that my dad, like deacon, is no saint. I mean. Both of these guys are of morally ambiguous character and that’s putting it generously. Okay? I know that. But here’s the difference: All of bill spencer’s flaws, his ruthlessness, his, his callousness, his– his total allergy to playing by the rules, all of that gets channeled into his family, providing for us, protecting us, giving us opportunities that I never even dreamed possible. With deacon… it’s the exact opposite. Of that. Deacon sharpe doesn’t give. He takes. It’s just… it’s, it’s not the same.

Hope: Hm. And I know you feel that way, liam. And I get it. You are just trying to look out for me and our family but I am asking as your wife, to trust me and to have faith in me because I do believe in my dad.

[Liam sighs]

Brooke: Hi.

Ridge: Hi.

Brooke: You know, I’m just gonna be straight up with you. I was down talking to hope and deacon showed up.

Ridge: Yeah, well, he never misses an opportunity, does he?

Brooke: Look, I don’t want to argue about deacon. I don’t want to argue about anything. I just want you to realize that you can’t throw hope out. That really hurt me, ridge.

Ridge: I didn’t mean to hurt you, that wasn’T….

Brooke: I know that you’re just trying to protect us, but it’s not necessary.

Ridge: Oh. Because deacon’s changed. I forgot, you’re right.

Brooke: No. I’m not naive.

Ridge: Mm…?

Brooke: I’m not. I had my eyes wide open the second deacon came back in town. In fact, I’ve been as skeptical as you’ve been, maybe even more so. I’ve noticed a difference. He has changed.

Ridge: Oh man. You know, I want to believe that. I really do but I don’T. You know what I think is gonna happen? What always happens. He’s gonna find himself a bar or two. He’s gonna start drinking again he’s gonna run out of money. He’s going to come to you, or hope. And in the end, someone’s gonna get hurt. He hasn’t changed at all.

[Sighing]

Deacon: I mean you’re my kid it’s only natural that we’d want to get to know each other. Brooke, what you’ve done… and it’s amazing how you, sticking up for hope, accepting our relationship together. It means more to me than I can put into words.

Phyllis: Hey! I feel like we just parted ways, and now here you are. I’m not insinuating you’re here to — I don’t know why you’re here, right? How would I know? Welcome to the grand — hey!

Billy: Thanks for coming to meet me.

Jack: Yeah, it sounded important.

Billy: Sorry to interrupt.

Phyllis: No problem.

Jack: So what’s going on?

Billy: Well, I woke up with a great idea, and I need you to help me execute it.

Jack: Okay.

Billy: I would like you to join me and buy chanccomm from my mother.

Adam: Hey. Fueling up for the workday?

Sally: Yeah, just a little caffeine and some brain food to get my wheels turning.

Adam: Mm. Do you mind if I join you?

Sally: Not at all. I’d love the company.

Adam: So I was — was thinking about what you said yesterday about your run-in with billy.

Sally: Oh? ‘Cause I distinctly remember you telling me to stay out of your business with him.

Adam: Um…I had a change of heart. Sounds like he was in quite a state. Maybe you could find out more about what’s going on with him.

Sally: Are you asking me to spy for you?

Sharon: Do you have a busy day planned?

Rey: I’m wrapping up a case, and I’m off to see chance. What about you? You gonna be here all day?

Sharon: Yeah. Um, well, it’s a little slow, though. If it stays this way, I might pop back at home and grab a book. What was the name of that murder mystery novel you liked so much?

Rey: You want to read that? When I told you about it, it seemed a little graphic for your taste.

Sharon: Maybe, but I think I’ll just give it a try. You made it sound so good.

Rey: Yeah, but I already told you whodunit. I spoiled the ending.

Sharon: Oh, yeah. Yeah, I forgot about that.

Rey: Yeah? You forgot about the crooked mayor with the eye patch? What’s going on?

Sharon: Nothing.

Rey: No, no, you might as well fess up because when I set my mind on getting to the truth, I can be pretty tireless in my questioning.

Sharon: The downside of being married to a detective. Fine!

[ Sighs ] I needed a little guidance with getting you a christmas gift, and I was thinking of buying you the rest of the series by that author. You know, you may be a great husband, but you’re impossible to buy a gift for.

Rey: I don’t need gifts. All I need is you.

Abby: Dom is all fed and now we can laze around like a normal married couple.

Chance: I love it.

Abby: [ Chuckles ] I am so happy that we left that party early last night because you just got home, and I don’t want to share you with anybody.

Chance: Oh, gosh, I feel the same way.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Chance: Hey, did you get new throw pillows?

Abby: I did, yep, yep. I wasn’t a fan of the old ones, and apparently dominic wasn’t either, because he spit up all over them.

[ Chuckles ] Hey, he’s got good taste. We might have an interior designer on our hands.

Chance: I’m sorry I missed that.

Abby: There will be plenty more spit-up to come.

Chance: Yeah, yeah, I know. It’s just, you know, I look around and I see little things that remind me of the moments that I missed. I don’t know, it just makes me feel sad and guilty.

Abby: Hey. Don’t do that to yourself. All that matters is that you’re home and we’re safe. There are plenty more precious moments.

Chance: You got that right.

[ Chuckles ]

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Sharon: I appreciate your kind words about not needing anything. However, I am going to get you a christmas gift. The problem is, I have no idea where to start.

Rey: Oh, come on, sharon, I’m not that hard to shop for.

Sharon: What? Are you kidding? I have bought you like three shirts that still have the tags on them because you’ve never worn them. And I just want to get you something that you really like and appreciate.

Rey: Well, what about a couple of plane tickets to the beach? We could get away, just the two of us.

Sharon: Good idea. Very bad timing. Your partner just came back.

Rey: True. Okay. Rain check on the beach.

Sharon: See? You’re harder to buy for than you realize, and if you don’t give me any guidance, you’re gonna end up with a lump of coal under the tree.

Rey: Oh, really? No, I just — I just keep thinking about last year. You already gave me the perfect gift — you in that gorgeous dress, walking down that aisle.

Sharon: Well, I think I got the perfect gift, but you’re right, we cannot top last year because we’re not going to get married again. But still, I want to try.

Adam: Look, I’m not asking you to go full-on mata hari, okay? I’m just requesting, since you have developed some sort of rapport with billy, that if you notice any strange or concerning behavior, you could casually share it with me. No pressure. It’s not an assignment.

Sally: Oh, good, ’cause my business is in fashion and not gossip, and, yes, there is a difference. Usually.

Adam: Okay. Didn’t mean to offend you. Sometimes it’s hard to tell.

Sally: Despite your continued reassurances that this is not gonna negatively affect newman media or my career, i can’t help but feeling on edge about it, ’cause just when i thought things were dying down between the two of you, now you want more intel on billy?

Adam: It’s not any kind of corporate espionage. It couldn’t be because billy is not involved in a corporate entity anymore.

Sally: Yeah, that’s right. You bested him. So what’s with your continued interest? I need to know your motives for this to make sense.

Adam: Maybe I’m asking out of genuine concern.

Sally: Right.

Adam: Look, it was not my intention to push billy over the edge. I’m not that vicious. That would be crossing a line that I don’t want to cross.

Billy: So, my mother has decided to put chanccomm up for sale — best bid wins — and I’m hoping that my personal connection to her will help me get a family discount.

Jack: Okay, okay, okay. Slow down. I have read that the division is on the market, but why would we want to buy chanccomm if it’s facing a major lawsuit from ashland locke?

Billy: Locke’s lawsuit is based on a lie. I still believe that there’s evidence out there to prove that he is a criminal, okay? And I would like the opportunity to dig in and to fight.

Jack: Okay, I think that there’s more to this than you’ve said to this point, so spill the rest.

Billy: Well, you’d also get a big win over victor. Something that you’ve been looking for for a very long time. Look, the way adam and victor treated me, I really don’t want to give them the company that they desperately want.

Jack: And there it is.

Billy: Jack.

[ Sighs ] I’m asking for your help one last time. This is my only shot to get myself out of this mess. Please don’t let me down. Nyquil severe gives you powerful relief

Chance: Oh, I love it.

Abby: Is there anything special you want to do today?

Chance: Oh, I just want to spend the day with you.

Abby: Okay.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Cellphone rings ]

Chance: Oh, hold on. Oh, it’s my mom.

Abby: Aww.

Chance: Hey, mom.

Nina: Hi! How’s my boy?

Chance: Oh, we are so good. I’m so good.

Nina: Are you really? Because I’m having a hard time believing that this is all real. I mean, I know I saw your face when you first called me to tell me that you were alive, but when I woke up this morning, I had to remind myself that this isn’t all a dream.

Chance: [ Chuckles ] Well, I hope talking to me convinces you.

Nina: Oh, it’s so good to see you alive and breathing. Are you eating okay? You look like you might’ve lost some weight. How’s your leg injury?

Chance: Mom, mom, I am fine. Abby’s taking great care of me. Having her and dom by my side, it’s just done wonders already.

Nina: Oh, I’m so glad. I can’t wait to get back to genoa city to see you with your son. I wish it could be today, but i promise it’ll be soon.

Chance: Well, I’m not going anywhere.

Nina: Yeah, I’ve heard that before.

Chance: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Chance: Well, this time i mean it.

Jack: Billy, I’m gonna have to say no.

Billy: Why?

Jack: Because I think buying chanccomm is a bad idea.

Billy: But you were willing to invest when lily and I before we went after cyaxares. What’s the difference?

Jack: There are plenty of differences. Originally, I was willing to invest in you because I thought it’s what you needed in your life at the time.

Billy: Everything was fine before we went after cyaxares. Business was great, and lily and I were in a happy, healthy relationship.

Jack: But you couldn’t keep that going.

Billy: That’s actually not true, jack. Lily and I are still in a happy, healthy relationship, and business was doing fantastic before adam and victor set their trap.

Jack: A trap you walked right into, billy.

Billy: I don’t know what you want me to say to that.

Jack: There’s nothing to say. Actions speak louder than words. I’ve been here before. Billy, I am not going to enable your latest addiction.

Billy: Addiction? To what?

Jack: To power, to vengeance, to the latest ultimate gamble.

Billy: Well, that’s a crazy way to look at this. You know, you’re just taking everything and twisting it into some narrative you have about me. I mean, jack, I couldn’t put a quarter in a vending machine without people saying I’m gambling on whether the soda’s gonna come out or not. Everything I do is either addiction-based or obsessive. The truth is, all I was doing was my job — looking for a story. And what I found was the truth.

Jack: Which you exploited to your own advantage. Until adam and victor turned the table on you. Look, it’s over. Let it go.

Billy: Yeah, that’s clearly easy for you to say.

Jack: Billy, I want nothing more than your happiness and your success, but not this way.

Billy: I mean, I can’t count on you for anything, can I?

Jack: Don’t say that. Come on, back up and listen to yourself. Listen to how desperate you sound. This is not rational business discussion. After what you did at victoria’s wedding, I don’t think going after chanccomm is the right path for you. There are too many temptations, too many possible triggers. There’s got to be other options for you. Have you thought about those? Because jill made it very clear she’s handing over control of chancellor industries to lily.

Billy: Yeah, that is true, but it doesn’t mean chanccomm’s got to go with it.

Jack: Okay, you can always come back to jabot. The door is always open for you there. But whatever you decide, there has to be balance in your life. You have to give up this need to hurt adam.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] That’s not what this is about. This is actually a good opportunity for you.

Jack: Billy, I’ve made my decision. I’m not gonna change my mind.

Phyllis: Hey. Are you okay?

Jack: It was a difficult conversation.

Phyllis: Oh, I bet I know what it is. I was talking to billy the other day and he was saying that jill and lily were discussing the fate of chanccomm. So, really, it’s for sale after one lawsuit?

Jack: I think jill’s trying to make a point. Billy has his priorities confused again.

Rey: Well, I’m guessing none of this turned out the way you hoped it would.

Billy: I got played. I walked into a trap I should’ve seen coming a mile away.

Rey: A trap?

Billy: Relax, rey. I don’t think it concerns you. And no matter what adam says about me blackmailing him, he simply misread the situation.

[ Sighs ] And he’s not the only one to do that. Biggest question I have right now — is it too early for a bloody mary? And I can get you one?

Rey: No. I’ll pass.

Billy: Are you on duty? Don’t tell me you’re here to make my day even worse.

New vicks convenience pack.

Esther: Hi, sharon.

Sharon: Esther, I haven’t seen you in a while.

Esther: Well, bella and miles have been keeping me busy. Oh, not that I’m complaining. I love spending time with my grandkids.

Sharon: I’m sure.

Esther: You know, we live under the same roof, and I take care of them every day while chloe and kevin are at work. You’d think it would be easy for me to find a perfect christmas gift for them.

Sharon: Well, judging by all of those bags, I think you did a good job.

Esther: I practically bought out the entire toy store because I couldn’t figure out what they’d like. I’m still not sure I got it right.

Sharon: Well, you’re making me feel better because I’m having the same problem with rey. I mean, I know everything about this man, and he is so difficult to shop for. You know, this is probably a long shot, but kevin works at the police station. Does he ever talk about his job? Maybe he said something about rey that could point me in the right direction.

Esther: Hmm. The only thing I remember kevin saying recently is that rey was happy that chance made it home safely.

Sharon: Well, we all are. It might be the best christmas gift any of us gets this year.

Sally: So you’re saying that you suddenly have empathy for billy?

Adam: Billy has far more reason to hate me than I do to hate him.

Sally: Yeah, I suppose that’s true, but in our last conversation, you told me not to feel too badly for him.

Adam: That was — it was just my reflexive response every time that I hear his name. But I’d like to believe that I’ve become a more evolved being. And I think I went too far. Yes, my father and I, we like to say that this is all purely business, but it’s impossible to deny that it’s personal, maybe too personal. I mean, after all, he is the father of my niece and nephew.

Sally: Okay, well, I’m not gonna call you cold or vicious, but you did warn me that things might get ugly between you and billy, and now…you’re expressing regret.

Adam: The concept is not completely foreign to me. I don’t want this battle to get any worse any more than you do. And you’re right, we could get hurt in the process.

Sally: So then why’d you go after him so hard to begin with?

Adam: Because I thought if i could shut him down and stop him from any kind of retaliation, it would end the war between us. At least for now. Because…I don’t think billy could take another loss like that.

Billy: I thought I was very clear, okay? There was no blackmail, no matter what victor and adam say. They are the guilty ones here. They — they — they hacked into chanccomm’s server to exert leverage over me, okay? I’m the one that should be pressing charges on them.

Rey: You done?

Billy: Yeah, I am.

Rey: I’m not arresting you.

Billy: [ Sighs ] Okay, good. I like to hear that. At least maybe something’s going my way for once.

Rey: The da didn’t think there was enough of a case to bring it to court.

Billy: Remind me to buy michael a bloody mary, then.

Rey: In the meantime, billy, let me give you some advice. Bending the law to get what you want never works out the way you hoped it would.

Billy: Did you tell the newmans that? Look, I think we can both agree right now we would like to table this discussion forever.

Rey: Done. And for whatever it’s worth, i hope I never have to slap cuffs on you again.

Billy: I appreciate that. But adam — different story, right?

Phyllis: Yeah, I mean, there’s no doubt that billy has to get his priorities straight. You know, I’m not judging — I’m not judging because sometimes, you know, I’ve been the same way. You know? But — but that’s how you learn in life. You have to learn from your mistakes, you know? And…sometimes, you know, priorities, they’ll shift.

Jack: Uh-huh.

Phyllis: You know, but — but — but not — not always. Sometimes they do stay the same. Do you know what I mean? Like with me, with me, if I have a friend, they will always be my friend and I will always have their back, and I will be loyal to the end.

Jack: Is everything alright with you?

Phyllis: Yeah, yeah. Why?

Jack: I don’t know, you seem a little off, and it’s perfectly understandable. You’ve been through an awful lot lately. I guess — I guess we both have. Is there maybe somewhere we could talk with a little privacy here?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Sally: So let’s just say i happen to run into billy again. What kind of info would be helpful for you to squash this battle between you both?

Adam: You know what? Just forget I asked.

Sally: Okay, I don’t get it. Now you’re doing a complete 180?

Adam: Well, I just — i shouldn’t drag you into this.

Sally: Why not? You suddenly don’t trust me?

Adam: [ Sighs ] You were right to be wary from the beginning. We have no control over whether billy is self-destructing. Why should we interject ourselves in that? It’s the guy’s human nature. He has lily. He’s got family and friends that can help him with whatever’s going on. Let’s just hope he doesn’t drag too many people down with him.

Lily: Hey. You will not believe the conversation I just overheard.

Billy: Good or bad?

Lily: Well, guess. It was between adam and sally.

Billy: Adam finding new ways to trash me?

Lily: No, actually, it was the opposite.

Billy: Sally’s trashing me now.

Lily: No, he basically was telling her some lie about how he’s concerned for your welfare.

Billy: Like a hyena would be concerned about the animal it’s picking at for dinner.

Lily: Right, and then he asked her to spy on you.

Billy: Now, that makes more sense.

Lily: Yeah, I mean, I guess she filled him in on some conversation she had with you earlier.

Billy: As I thought she would.

Lily: So what exactly did you say to her?

Billy: I fed her a few appetizers, and she did exactly what I expected her to do. She went blabbing to her new go-to guy, and clearly adam wants more information, which means my plan is gonna work.

Sharon: Rey is going to visit chance today.

Esther: Oh, that’s wonderful. I thought about dropping by, but then I heard jill was in town. It’s one of the things I don’t miss about the chancellor mansion.

Sharon: Well, I’m sure chance would love to see you.

Esther: I remember when he was a tiny, little baby. I can’t believe that he has a son of his own now.

Sharon: Time flies.

Esther: When we thought that chance was dead, my heart broke for that little boy. I couldn’t believe that he’d be growing up without his daddy. Thank god that chance is alright.

Sharon: Well, I hope he really is okay and that he won’t have any lingering effects from everything he’s been through.

Esther: I didn’t realize that he was injured.

Sharon: Oh, well, from what I’ve heard, he’s made a full recovery physically. I’m just concerned about, you know, his emotional state. He’s been through a pretty traumatic experience.

Esther: Well, he has abby to lean on.

Sharon: I’m sure she’ll do everything she can for him. Just so much has changed since he left, you know? A year ago, he was a newlywed, and then he spent all this time away from his wife and now he’s suddenly a father. That’s — that’s got to be a huge adjustment.

Chance: I could totally get addicted to this app. Everything he does — every little coo and gurgle, it’s — it’s amazing.

Abby: Tell me about it. Try downloading it on your phone, you’ll never get anything done.

Chance: Well, what are we doing? Come on, let’s do it now.

[ Knock on door ]

Abby: I’ll get it. Rey.

Rey: Hey, abby. I wanted to —

Abby: Yeah, come inside.

Rey: Yeah.

Chance: Hey, man.

Rey: “Hey, man”? That’s it? I’m your partner. I thought you were dead. Oh.

Chance: I’m sorry, brother. I — I just don’t know the right words for this moment right now. It’s good to see you, man, really. It’s good to see you.

Rey: Yeah. Trust me, the feeling’s mutual. From what I heard, it’s a miracle that you’re alive.

Chance: Yeah, yeah, I got lucky.

Rey: Well, the chief wanted me to tell you that you’re welcome back to the station, whenever you’re ready. You’ve been through hell, so there’s no rush, but everyone down there misses you and can’t wait to see you.

Chance: I appreciate that, man. Thank you.

Abby: Well, obviously, it’s up to chance, but you were injured. He needs to rest and recover, so I agree with paul, you know? I — selfishly, I would like to spend some more time with you before you join the force.

Rey: Absolutely. No one’s pushing.

Chance: Good. ‘Cause I definitely need some time with abby and our new son.

Phyllis: And this doorknob, this one is sticking. You know what? I’m gonna replace all the hardware in this entire hotel to really high-end hardware. Like the doorknobs, this, the knobs on the dresser — all of it. I mean, you could really tell when something’s high end. You can really feel it. You don’t know it, but you can feel it.

Jack: Well, you are really all over the place.

Phyllis: What?

Jack: Well, I didn’t ask for privacy so I could get a lowdown on hotel renovations. Don’t get me wrong, you could read the phone book and make it entertaining, but you seem anxious. You seem jittery, like nervous for some reason.

Phyllis: Nervous? What — what do you mean?

Jack: Well, I don’t know why you would be. You’re — it’s not normal for you.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] It’s dumb.

Jack: And I have a feeling it’s my fault.

Phyllis: No! No, it’s not your fault. It’s me. It’s me.

Jack: I am not gonna let you take that on. From the moment I told you i still loved you, something shifted. Phyllis, since your break-up with nick, there has been this confusion between us, underneath the surface, but you know it’s there and I know it’s there, and I want to say, again, I am sorry.

Phyllis: You don’t need to be sorry for anything, jack. Please don’t do that. You have been so kind and generous and giving, and supporting me during my break-up with nick. And not only that, I mean, you were rooting for the two of us.

[ Chuckles ] To get back together. You’re that amazing. And then that over-the-top gesture at thanksgiving, I mean, honestly, my thanksgiving was going to be abysmal, and…

[ Sighs ] …You helped me. I mean, you — you single-handedly came to my rescue.

Jack: So my confessing my love for you didn’t change anything?

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] I don’t know. Maybe it did. It’s life, you know? Things change. And it’s all cause and effect, anD… I just think our friendship — I think it’s stronger than ever, and if I have anything to do with it, it’s gonna stay that way. Clerk: Hello, how can I?

Chance: [ Chuckles ] I want to know everything. I want to know every little coo, every little gurgle he makes. You got to catch me up, please.

Abby: Mm, well, that’ll take some time.

[ Chuckles ]

Chance: We got all the time in the world, right?

Abby: Okay, where should i start?

Chance: How about the first day you brought him home?

Abby: Okay. Um…well, I was nervous. Terrified, actually.

Chance: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: I had no idea how to feed a baby or get a baby to go to sleep or swaddle one. Oh, my gosh, and [Chuckles] The first few times, every time i would try to swaddle him, he would, like, push his arm out or his leg out.

[ Chuckles ] And I know it’s probably not possible because he was so tiny, but it’s like he was smiling at me. Like he was playing a game. And it put me at ease, like we were in this together.

Chance: Because you were. Now we are.

Abby: Yeah. You know, I don’t know why this slipped my mind, but I can do better than just tell you about our baby’s journey. I can show you. Be right back.

Sharon: Hey, you’re back.

Rey: Mm-hmm. Yeah, I found myself with a few free moments, and I thought I’d steal some with my wife.

Sharon: I’ll take it. How was chance?

Rey: You know, physically, he seems to be healthy enough and he seems to be recovering well, but I don’t know when he’s gonna be coming back to the force.

Sharon: Well, it can take some time to come back from what chance has been through. It’s not easy. I’ve seen it with mariah after the ordeal she went through with stitch. And I understand the situations aren’t the same, but I’ve seen mariah struggle with trying to get back to her regular life, and maybe chance will need some time before he can wrap his head around getting back to normal, too.

Rey: Yeah, I’m sure you’re right. I just…wish I knew a way how to help my friend, you know?

Sharon: Well, you’ll figure it out. Sometimes just spending time with friends and family can do wonders to heal people. And that’s what we can do for mariah and chance.

Abby: This video journal, it wasn’t just a gift for you. But it helped me feel close to you. There’d be days where I’d have whole conversations by myself.

[ Chuckles ] But it would feel like you were listening to me.

Chance: I know exactly what you mean. There were so many days while i was gone that I could — could hear your voice in my head.

Abby: Well, now you’ll know what I was saying to you for real.

Chance: I can’t wait.

Abby: Hey, baby. It’s me. I wish you were here. God, that sounds like a postcard. But, uh, I mean it in the deepest, most profound way. Our son is about to arrive, and I need you home with me. I hate that I can’t talk to you, that I don’t know where you are, if you’re safe. I hate that I have to do this all alone. You know what? Maybe we should just go to the next recording.

Chance: No. I want to watch it. I want to know everything you experienced. Please.

Abby: I am so confused why you haven’t come home yet, and it scares me that I haven’t heard from you in a while. Our son needs his daddy. I need you. I need my husband. Sorry. Um…you know what? I’m gonna go, but I will, uh, check in on you later. I love you.

[ Sighs ] Look, I’m — I just didn’t remember what was in a lot of those videos. I’m sorry you had to hear that.

Chance: Hey. You have absolutely nothing to apologize for. I’m glad I saw that. Abby, I’m learning how much pain that I cause you, and I promise you — I promise you — I will find a way to make it up to you.

Dominic: [ Crying ]

Abby: Oh, I —

Chance: Hey. Let me go. I got to learn how to do this, right?

Abby: [ Sighs ] Go get him, daddy.

[ Sighs ]

Billy: Thank you for spying on my spy. It’s very helpful.

Lily: Well, I wasn’t trying to be a spy. I just happened to overhear their conversation.

Billy: I’m not asking you to be. I am not adam. What I am gonna ask you to do is put today out of your mind. This is not your fight, okay? What you saw today was adam primed for a fall. And I’m gonna hand it to him.

Lily: Look, I have no problem with your plan working. I’m actually concerned it might work too well.

Billy: What do you mean by that?

Lily: This could have lasting effects on you. I mean, there’s huge risks involved here.

Billy: I understand that, but these are risks that I am willing to take, and I hope that you can trust me on this.

Lily: Yeah, I want to, but you have to understand where I’m coming from.

Billy: I do, lily. Look [Sighs] It’s not like i haven’t looked at other options, right? I went to jill, and that’s a dead end. I talked to jack this morning, asking him to buy chanccomm, and my own brother turned me down. I’m running out of time.

Lily: Why do you think that?

Billy: Because if adam is trying to recruit sally, that means the newmans are not resting on their laurels. Taking down chanccomm wasn’t enough. Adam still has a plan, and he and victor are not gonna stop until I am broken. I need to do this to defend myself. And I’m gonna do my best to keep you out of this, but I would really like to know that I have your support. Can you back me here? Like pulsing, electric shocks,

Jack: I absolutely agree with you about our friendship.

Phyllis: Good. Good. Oh, I feel better. Uh, we’re very good at talking things out. Here, have a seat.

Jack: We’re good at talking things out because we’ve been through so much. So let’s talk. I don’t want to mess this up. I think what we have is rare. Who would think that we could maintain this kind of a friendship after the hell we put each other through over so many years?

Phyllis: Yeah, I mean, I — I put you through hell.

Jack: No, no, no, I’m not putting blame on anyone. I’m — I’m just saying I think we need to establish some firm and clear boundaries.

Phyllis: What — such as?

Jack: Despite all of the things I said about the feelings I have for you — have had for you for many years — it doesn’t mean I think we should try again. Look, it’s been my experience that what the heart wants and what reality will provide are two very different th– I’m gonna say it, and I need you to listen. I am not about to try to rekindle things if it means glossing over the pain from our past. Even if that were possible, i cannot afford to make that mistake again. Ever. It took a lot for me to put my heart back together. I’m not gonna put myself in a position where it gets broken again. I could not handle that.

Sally: Okay, this conversation has been a bit of a roller coast, and I am not sure what is actually going on between you and billy, but from what I’ve heard, he does tend to drag things down with him and i don’t want to be one of them. I’ve worked incredibly hard to get my career back on track, and I feel like it finally is. I don’t want it to take another hit.

Adam: Well, then my advice to you is to do what you do best. Design, critique, curate. You’re right, that is your job. So focus on that and don’t let billy’s potential stunts distract you. Let’s just pretend we never had this conversation.

Sally: [ Scoffs ]

Lily: Listen, I know that we’re in the right here. Okay? I know that adam and victor have pulled some shady maneuvers to come after chanccomm, including having ashland getting away with his crimes. I just — I know how dangerous adam can be. I don’t know how far he would go to hurt you. So even though I have some misgivings about, you know, what you want to do…I believe in you. And I love you.

Billy: I can’t ask you for anything more than that.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Chad: One second. Hey, rafe, what brings you by?

Rafe: Police business.

Nicole: And I’m out of here.

[Phone rings] Oh, ej. Hey.

Ej: Are you home?

Nicole: No, actually, I’m just leaving the office.

Ej: You’ve put in a long day. Why don’t you stop by my place for a quick bite? I’ll have cook whip up all your favorites.

Nicole: Sold, I’m starving.

Ej: Wonderful. See you soon.

Ava: Ej, if you’re here to see rafe, he’s not home.

Ej: Actually, ava, I’m here to see you.

Tri: Allie.

Allie: Tripp, thank god you’re finally here.

Tripp: Sorry, they just let me observe open-heart surgery. So what’s going on?

Allie: It’s my mom. She’s been kidnapped.

Jason: What the– you bitch! Oh, my head’s killing me.

Sami: Sorry about that, I had to hit you pretty hard with that tray. I took your phone, too.

Jason: You better untie me right now, all right?

Sami: No, I don’t think I’m gonna do that.

Jason: Listen, my shift is about to end and the other guard, pete, will lose his mind if he sees me like this. He will go tell the boss and then after that–

Sami: I’m not scared of pete. I’m not scared of you, and I’m not scared of your boss, whoever he is.

Jason: Or she.

Sami: You’re saying your boss is a woman?

Jason: I’m saying don’t assume. That makes an ass out of you and me, all right?

Sami: You are hilarious. Jason, when you get out of prison for holding me hostage, you should definitely go into standup comedy.

Jason: You knocked me out. You took my phone. Why are you still here?

Sami: Because–because the stupid key broke in the stupid lock, okay? So now the door doesn’t open. Yes, I took your keys, too. Sorry about that.

Jason: Well, if the lock’s busted you’re not going anywhere.

Sami: Lucas will find a way to open the door from the outside.

Jason: Lucas? Who’s lucas?

Sami: Oh, did I forget to mention that part? I managed to reach my ex-husband. Lucas is on his way here to rescue me any minute.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Ava: What possible reason would you have to come see me?

Ej: Oh, I thought you might need an attorney.

Ava: An attorney?

Ej: Well, I have represented you in the past.

Ava: True, but why would I need you now?

Ej: Because you helped my sister escape.

Rafe: Can I come in? I need to ask you a few questions.

Chad: Yeah.

Rafe: Thank you.

Chad: Questions about what?

Rafe: Kristen. She was supposed to be transferred to statesville today. Never made it.

Abigail: Yeah, we heard. It’s all over the news. So the van she was in crashed?

Rafe: Apparently, she forced it off the road.

Chad: Is she okay?

Rafe: Okay enough to have gotten away.

Abigail: And she’s still not been caught?

Rafe: Well, we’re throwing every available resource at it, but no, not yet.

Abigail: Okay, so this is a woman who has escaped prison twice and has managed to yet do it again. I mean, how does that happen?

Rafe: Yeah. Can I talk to you alone for a minute?

Chad: Me and my wife don’t keep secrets. Anything you have to ask me, you can ask in front of abigail.

Rafe: Okay. You were at the police station earlier, correct?

Chad: Yeah, I saw you there.

Rafe: Yeah, I saw you too. You sure spent a lot of time alone with kristen in the interrogation room. What were you talking about?

Chad: [Chuckles] Um, I–I gave her an update from her lawyer and I told her that despite his best efforts, she was going back to prison.

Rafe: Mm-hmm, yeah, and yet she didn’t go back to prison.

Chad: Where are you going with this, rafe?

Rafe: Well, the thing is we know that kristen couldn’t have pulled this off on her own. She had to have had an accomplice.

Chad: Are you accusing me of helping my sister escape?

Ava: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Ej: Oh, I think you do. You helped my sister escape.

Ava: How would you know what’s going on with kristen? I read you refused to represent her to protect your image.

Ej: While I’m in no position to help kristen publicly, I have been watching her very closely. I’ve made it a point to have eyes and ears everywhere.

Ava: Really?

Ej: Hmm. I know you used your family connections to intimidate the guards who were escorting her to statesville. You scared them into letting her go.

Ava: Hm. For your information, I’ve left that life behind. And I find it incredibly insulting that you would assume just because my last name is vitali–

Ej: Oh, you can act outraged. You can feign innocence. You can carry on as much as you like, but I know what you did.

Ava: So what you gonna do about it, counselor? Hmm? You gonna turn me in?

Ej: [Laughs] Hm.

Tripp: Your mom was kidnapped? From where?

Allie: Salem.

Tripp: I thought she left town months ago.

Allie: She did, but not by her own choice. I mean, someone took her against her will.

Tripp: Okay, wait, I’m confused. Didn’t she send you a text saying that she just needed some time to be alone to figure things out?

Allie: Yeah, but that wasn’t her. That was her kidnapper.

Tripp: Allie, how do you know all this?

Allie: ‘Cause earlier today my mom finally got her hands on a phone and she called me and I was with my dad at the time. She told us that she’s been locked in this tiny room for months.

Tripp: Oh, my god. Did she say who took her?

Allie: No, she has no idea who did it or why. I don’t know. The only people she’s interacted with are the guards, so I guess she knocked one out and took his phone.

Tripp: Where’s she being held?

Allie: She didn’t know, but we use the map feature on the phone, and turns out she’s in some remote part of wisconsin.

Tripp: Okay, did–did anyone call the police?

Allie: No, but my dad went and got her so I’m sure he will if he needs to.

Tripp: Okay, have you heard from him?

Allie: No, and I’ve called a bunch of times, but he’s not picking up.

Tripp: Well, he’s probably driving.

Allie: It’s been hours. I’m freaking out. I mean, he should be there by now.

Jason: Your ex should’ve been here by now. Maybe he got lost.

Sami: I sent him my location.

Jason: If you don’t know where this place is exactly at, it’s impossible to find, all right?

Sami: Okay, you know what? Then let’s call him then we can give him exact directions. How about that? That’s a good idea. Damn it, there’s no signal.

Jason: It doesn’t matter. I’m telling you he’s not coming. He probably got frustrated doing circles out there and then bailed out.

Sami: Lucas would never do that.

Jason: How long ago did you talk to him?

Sami: I don’t know, a few hours ago. Maybe four or five hours.

Jason: And he’s coming from salem, right?

Sami: What’s your point?

Jason: It doesn’t take that long to get here. Even if he did make it, he didn’t make it to you. Pete probably saw him sniffing around and knocked him out. Might have killed him for all we know.

Sami: Please, you’re just trying to scare me.

Jason: Sami, sami, I’m serious. You need to listen to me. You need to untie me, all right? Pete’s gonna walk through that door any minute and once he does, I won’t be able to help you.

Sami: Shh.

Jason: He’s gonna see what you did–

Sami: Shh, shut up.

Jason: And then he’s gonna go straight to the boss.

Sami: I said shut up. I think I hear something.

Jason: That’s pete.

Sami: Shut up.

Jason: You’re gonna be sorry you didn’t cooperate when you had a chance. I’m telling you.

Lucas: Sami!

Sami: Lucas! Oh, lucas! I’m so glad you’re here. Serena: It’s my 3:10

Kate: And roman, try to talk rex into staying in salem. Please. Okay, see you soon. Hey, what are you doing here? You okay?

Paulina: Not really. I was visiting john black, and i ran into abraham. It did not go as well as I had hoped.

Kate: Yeah, well, I assume that he’s still angry with you for what happened at the wedding.

Paulina: Not angry so much or not anymore. Actually, he told me that he could forgive me for what I did and for holding the truth from him about lani, but he doesn’t think that he’ll ever be able to trust me again.

Kate: Well, I can’t blame him, I don’t think I would trust you, either.

Rafe: I’m not accusing you of anything. I’m just wondering if maybe kristen said something to you that would indicate she was planning to escape.

Chad: No, the opposite.

Rafe: Meaning what?

Chad: You don’t think it crossed my mind that she might be thinking about running again?

Rafe: You tell me.

Chad: Yes, it did. In fact, I asked her to assure me that she wouldn’T.

Rafe: And?

Chad: And she said she wasn’t going to. She said that she was gonna work on her appeal from statesville.

Rafe: Okay. Anything else happen?

Chad: She asked me to get her a sandwich from the cafeteria at the station. And while I was gone, she took my phone out of my coat pocket. When I came back she was deleting the call log.

Rafe: Any idea who she called?

Chad: Brady. She said she wanted to talk to rachel. She was desperate to talk to rachel and she thought that he would answer if she called from my phone. And when he he heard her voice, he hung up.

Rafe: But if she were calling brady, why would she delete the call log?

Chad: It’s a good question.

Rafe: And whose idea was it to get the sandwich at the station cafeteria, as opposed to the bistro or the pub, somewhere you might need your jacket?

Chad: It was kristen’S.

Rafe: Yeah. She wasn’t hungry. She just needed to get rid of you so she could use your phone to call her accomplice.

Ava: So what you gonna do, huh? You gonna rat me out to the cops?

Ej: Is that an admission of guilt?

Ava: I’m just curious to know what you’re planning to do with this absurd theory that I helped kristen escape.

Ej: It’s not a theory, it’s a fact. But not to worry, I have no intention of telling rafe.

Ava: ‘Cause he’d laugh in your face.

Ej: [Laughs] Not likely.

Ava: So then what’s the reason?

Ej: Well, first of all, kristen is my sister. She has her faults but I still love her.

Ava: Yeah, just not enough to risk bad pr.

Ej: When you run a multi-billion-dollar corporation as opposed to, say, an organization of murderous thugs, yes, image matters. But don’t think for one moment because I value my company that had don’t also value my family.

Ava: Yeah, just not enough to help her out when she needed you most.

Ej: I did, I hired a top-notch lawyer for her. Unfortunately, due to her track record, even he couldn’t convince the judge to keep her out of prison. And going back there is simply not an option.

Ava: Why, ’cause she’s a dimera?

Ej: Because she wouldn’t survive. She’d wither and die if she had to go back to statesville therefore, I will do everything in my power to keep her out.

Ava: So you’re doing this to save her life?

Ej: That and I owe her.

Ava: For what?

Ej: In a way, she also saved my life, or at least saved me from living the life of a clueless cuckold.

Ava: Oh. [Laughs] This is about sami.

Ej: Kristen’s the one who told me that samantha was cheating on me with her ex-husband. Had she not, I would’ve continued believing samantha’s lies forever. Instead, I’m now rid of that duplicitous whore once and for all.

Ava: You really happy about that?

Ej: Why wouldn’t I be? As far as I’m concerned, lucas can have her, wherever she is.

Sami: Lucas, I’ve never been so happy to see someone in my entire life.

Lucas: Are you okay? Did they hurt you?

Sami: No, I’m–I’m fine. I was just worried you weren’t gonna be able to find me.

Lucas: Sorry, this place is just in the middle of nowhere. It took me a while.

Sami: It doesn’t matter, you’re here now. That’s all that matters.

Lucas: Is this the sob who kidnapped you?

Sami: He’s just one of the guards. His name is jason. I took his phone from him after I hit him on the head. Hey, so I thought you said your shift was up. Where’s pete, huh?

Lucas: Who’s pete?

Sami: One of the other guards. But jason was telling me that pete was gonna find you outside and kill you.

Lucas: What?

Sami: Yeah, what happened to that, huh? He told me that I better untie him before pete got here because then the two of them would have been really mad and they would tell their boss who apparently is super scary.

Lucas: Yeah, apparently.

Sami: I don’t know. Lucas, I have no idea who did this to me. I have no idea whatsoever.

Lucas: All right, all right. You think it’s funny?

Jason: Hmm.

Lucas: Who do you work for?

Sami: I’ve asked him that question every day for three months.

Lucas: Yeah, I just asked you the same question, jackass. Who do you work for?

Sami: He wouldn’t tell me anything.

Lucas: Yeah? Well, he sure as hell is gonna tell me. This is the sound of nature breathing.

Lucas: Answer me, answer me. Who is behind this? Who would kidnap sami, bring her in the middle of nowhere? What do they want with her?

Sami: Don’t bother, lucas. He’s not gonna tell us anything.

Lucas: You’re going down for this, you know that?

Jason: We’ll see.

Lucas: We’ll see? Really? Two eyewitnesses, multiple felonies. This is an airtight case, man.

Jason: I’ll get a good lawyer.

Sami: I know you think you’re doing the right thing by being loyal to your boss or whatever, but this’ll go so much better for you if you just cooperate with us.

Lucas: Yeah, you got no skin in this game. You’re just taking orders, right? You really wanna go to jail for something you don’t care about?

Sami: Jason, don’t throw your life away.

Lucas: Your boss needs to pay for this and we can make that happen. We can protect you, too.

Jason: You really think I’m stupid, huh? I talk, you turn on me. Both of you would turn me right over to the cops.

Sami: No, no, we won’T. I swear to you. If you help me I won’t press charges. I’ll help you get immunity. Just tell us who you’re working for, please.

Ej: Samantha is gone and I have my sister to thank.

Ava: I believe you’re grateful to her. Still doesn’t explain why you’re not reporting me to rafe.

Ej: I’ll put it this way. If I were to expose your collaboration with kristen, the commissioner would dump you so fast your head would spin.

Ava: And you care about that because?

Ej: Because the minute rafe hernandez found himself unattached, he’d make a beeline to nicole and I’m not going to let that happen.

Rafe: I think we could get the answers we need from your phone.

Chad: I already told you, kristen deleted the call log.

Rafe: Yeah, but I’m pretty sure my it guys can retrieve them. If I need to get a court order–

Chad: Why would you– no, you don’t have to get a court order. Here. The one person I need to talk to is right here.

Rafe: Okay, well, thank you for your cooperation.

Chad: Oh, hey, for what it’s worth, I’m not protecting kristen. She’s my sister and I love her, but she hurt a lot of people I care about.

Rafe: All right. I’ll be in touch. Have a great night.

Nicole: Oh, um–

cough cough sneeze sneeze…

Kate: Okay, that was harsh. Sorry.

Paulina: It sure as hell was. But–well, maybe you’ve never lied to keep from from hurting someone or– or because you were afraid to lose them.

Kate: Touché.

Paulina: Well, it’s– it’s everything I feared. It’s all coming to pass. I’ve lost abe. Lani, too. My own daughter, she wants nothing to do with me.

Kate: Maybe that’s not surprising. She just found out that you gave her away, that you’ve kept the truth from her for so long. Paulina, why did– why did you make that decision? Why did you give up your daughter?

Nicole: Um–what are you doing here?

Rafe: I was just following up on kristen’s disappearance.

Nicole: Oh, any luck?

Rafe: Not yet.

Nicole: Well, it wouldn’t surprise me one bit of this family circles the wagon to protect her. But you know what? It won’t last long ’cause eventually the dimera’s luck always runs out even for stefano. Hey, so can you tell me anything?

Rafe: Just working overtime to track her down.

Nicole: Well, I hope you do. And I hope she burns in hell and I hope the person who helped her does too.

Rafe: So you are convinced as I am that she had an accomplice.

Nicole: Yeah, of course, she did, and that person, that cold-blooded heartless person who helped aid and abet that psychotic bitch, I hope you find them and nail them to the wall.

Ava: Rafe and nicole are just friends.

Ej: Only because he’s dating you. But if that were to change.

Ava: What? You think you’d go running to her? Give me a break.

Ej: You’re denying there’s an attraction between them?

Ava: I mean, there may have been one briefly, but rafe and I talked about it. He assured me that it’s all in the past. So why are you bringing it up?

Ej: I’m sorry. Okay, I just don’t understand. I thought you resolved to stay away from him?

Nicole: I had. But I-I was at the office working that night. It’s really creepy being in the basic black building by myself and on halloween and I, uh, I– I thought I saw deimos kiriakis.

Ej: What?

Nicole: I mean it. I thought I saw him.

Ej: He’s dead.

Nicole: And so are you. Yet here you are with ice cream. Look I–I called rafe and–and he came over and he calmed me down and he was really sweet. And we– we had sex on the conference table.

Ej: Why, indeed.

Allie: This whole thing is just so bizarre. I mean they grabbed mom, keep her hold up someplace in wisconsin, but they make no demands and they send fake texts so we’d think she’s okay. I mean I don’t know anyone who would do that.

Tripp: I mean I have one idea but it’s–it’s pretty out there.

Allie: Tell me.

Sami: Clock’s ticking, jason, what’s it gonna be?

Jason: Nah, I’m gonna take my chances in court.

Lucas: All right your call. Just take him to the local police department and turn him in. I’ll untie the back, you get his legs. When we untie him, you grab one arm and you grab the other, okay?

Sami: Yeah.

Lucas: Watch him like a hawk.

Sami: Get up. You got him, right?

Lucas: Yeah. Come on. You’re making a huge–

Sami: Ahh!

Lucas: Sami! Sami, are you all right?

Sami: Yeah, go get him! Don’t let him get away!

[Hall & oates “you make my dreams” plays]

Kate: Never mind. You don’t have to answer that. It’s really none of my business.

Paulina: You’re right, it isn’T. But I’m gonna answer it anyway. I gave up my beautiful firstborn to my sister because she wasn’t conceived in love. Her biological father, he was a controlling, an abusive man–an addict. I was scared to death of him. You don’t know what it feels like to be with a man like that.

Kate: I do know what it feels like. I know exactly what it feels like, paulina.

Paulina: You know what it feels like to be with a controlling abusive man?

Kate: I was married to one.

Allie: You think my grandma marlena kidnapped my mom?

Tripp: She kidnapped her husband and held him prisoner. It’s really that far-fetched to think she’d take her daughter, too?

Allie: Okay, that wasn’t her fault. She was possessed by the devil.

Tripp: Exactly, so maybe your mom knew that and was going to expose him.

Allie: Wait a minute.

Tripp: What?

Allie: I thought you didn’t believe in demonic possession.

Sami: Where’s jason?

Lucas: He got away.

Sami: Damn it.

Lucas: Listen, I’m sorry. You’re more important to me. I had to come back for you to make sure you’re okay. We gotta get you out of here.

Sami: Yeah.

Lucas: Is your head okay?

Sami: Yeah.

Lucas: Are you dizzy?

Sami: No.

Lucas: Are you bleeding? Or anything?

Sami: I’m fine. I’m fine. Let’s just go before that boss shows up and comes looking for us.

Lucas: We’re gonna go to the local police station and tell them everything that happened to you. Come on.

Sami: No, lucas.

Lucas: What do you mean no? Don’t you want these guys to pay for what they did you?

Sami: Yes, of course I do but not right now, okay? We’ll call the police. We’ll do all of that, but first, it’s just, I just want to go home first, please.

Lucas: All right, home it is. Come on.

Abigail: I can’t stop trying to figure out who kristen called. After everything she’s done. It’s hard to believe anyone would help her.

Chad: Except ej. I mean just ’cause he did seem preoccupied at the meeting maybe it’s just–maybe it’s just his way of not giving anything away, right?

Abigail: Yeah, sure, but why would he help her? He wasn’t even willing to represent her?

Chad: I mean ’cause he didn’t want the bad press. He wanted to maintain his shiny image and dimera’s and–and you know behind the scenes maybe he was cooking up some secret plan to help kristen escape. And I’m the one getting grilled by police.

Abigail: It sucks.

Chad: Yeah. Ej is a total snake.

Ava: I’m not interested in playing games. So if you got some reason to believe that rafe and nicole have something going on, spit it out.

Ej: It’s all over with rafe? You’re sure?

Nicole: I’m sure. He is with ava, and she is my friend. And she can’t know what happened. So you need to keep your trap shut.

Ej: You’re a smart woman. I think you know the attraction between rafe and nicole is definitely not all in the past.

Ava: Well, that’s what rafe told me.

Ej: Hm. But what do your eyes tell you? When you’re around them do you see two people who just want to be friends? Or does the fact they work so damn hard to prove they don’t want each other that it’s just that much more obvious that they do? What’s also obvious is that neither of us want them to get together.

Ava: I know I don’T. What’s your excuse?

Rafe: So now you know why I’m here. What are you doing here?

Nicole: Well, ej invited me to dinner.

Rafe: Kinda late, no?

Nicole: Well, I was still at work when he called. So just the spur of the moment invitation.

Rafe: Right. So you two are still seeing each other?

Nicole: Uh, obviously.

Rafe: Yeah, right. Getting serious?

Nicole: Well, I mean, we haven’t you know, I mean, there’s–there’s no big commitment but it’s–it’s definitely going in that direction.

Rafe: Definitely.

Nicole: Why are you grilling me about this?

Rafe: I’m not. No.

Nicole: No, yes. You kinda are you. Look, rafe, the point is things are good with ej and they’re getting better and you know, quite frankly, you know, I hope that things move forward because then there won’t be any more–

Rafe: Any more what?

Nicole: Confusion.

Rafe: Confusion about what?

Nicole: You and me. I just figured that if now I’m in a committed relationship with ej, then we can finally put what happened in my office behind us once and for all.

Rafe: I’m not sure I can do that. My nunormal?

Tripp: Yeah, what happened on halloween, you know, kinda changed my outlook on certain phenomena.

Allie: Yeah, seeing a person arise from the day can have that effect.

Tripp: Still not entirely sure we saw charlie but enough people, smart people that I respect swear that the devil made marlena do what she did so.

Allie: So you’re not a skeptic anymore.

Tripp: Well, as a man of science, I will always be a skeptic, but I do believe that some things might defy scientific explanation.

Allie: Hmm, I’m impressed the doctor could be so open-minded.

Tripp: Well, am not a doctor yet.

Allie: Well, I’m impressed that top med student can be so open-minded. But the truth is there’s no way that my grandma could have kidnapped my mom.

Tripp: What makes you so sure?

Allie: Timing. The whole possession thing didn’t start until her appointment with doug. And that was way after my mom disappeared.

Tripp: There goes my theory. So if it wasn’t the devil then who was it?

Ej: I know you’re aware nicole and i are seeing each other. We ran into you that night at julie’s place when you were there with rafe. I gave you that–

Ava: The expensive bottle of wine. Yes, I remember and I’m also aware that you are dating nicole.

Ej: I’ve known her for a very long time. I didn’t think there was any way that she could still surprise me and yet she has. And each time it’s even more gratifying.

Ava: You know, I really don’t need to hear this.

Ej: What I mean is that she’s been helping me move on after what happened with samantha. We’re also building something, something real, and I would like that to continue. And I assume for god knows what reason you feel the same about rafe.

Ava: I am in love with him.

Ej: Hmm, but if he found out what you did, he would throw you over instantly for the woman I want a future with. Clearly, it’s in both our best interests to keep him in the dark. So we’ll keep this collaboration between you and my sister to ourselves.

Ava: What collaboration?

Ej: Exactly.

Ava: So if you had no intention of ever saying anything. Why’d you come all the way over here?

Ej: Oh, I just wanted you to know that nothing happens in this town without my knowing. Something to be aware of. Have a good night.

Nicole: Rafe, we talked about this. You–you know how I feel.

Rafe: I know–I know you–you want me to act like what we did in your office never happened. I’m trying, okay? I’m really trying, you know, to– you know, ava and I, we work things out. So yeah, we’re back together.

Nicole: I’m glad to hear it.

Rafe: Nicole.

Nicole: Please don’t say anything else, please.

Rafe: I’m trying to respect your wishes, okay, but just– I’m not gonna pretend that it’s easy, okay? Just like making love to you is not a mistake. It felt–it felt so right.

Nicole: Rafe, please stop.

Rafe: I’m not gonna say anything, okay? I’m not gonna say anything to ej or ava or anyone, okay? It’s just– all right, listen when–when I think about being with you, holding you, touching you, I’m just, I’m gonna–I’m gonna put it out of my mind, okay?

Nicole: Okay, that’s enough. Please, that’s enough. We settled this. We agreed that…

Rafe: I know.

Nicole: We need to forget about what happened and move on.

Rafe: I know we did, okay, and I know that. I know it in my head but it’s in my heart. I’m–I’m sorry. It’s just that saying it and doing it are two different things, okay? Doesn’t your family deserve the best?

Paulina: So this– this curtis reed guy, he– he beat you up and left you on the side of the road?

Kate: While I was pregnant because the baby I was carrying wasn’t his.

Paulina: And that–that baby that’s your son, lucas?

Kate: Yes, lucas. My son lucas. But you know he’s had his–he’s had his struggles. He has a good and he has a kind heart just like your daughter, lani. You know abe would tell anyone who would listen what an extraordinary young woman she is.

Paulina: She is that. Oh, how I wish she wasn’t ray’S. But she is–she is his. Way back when I was pregnant with her, I thought that if he knew that I was having his child, he’d never let me go, or worse that he would take her away from me.

Kate: Yes. Yes. That is exactly what curtis– that’s what he did to me. And not with lucas, with my–with my other kids, with austin and billie. He took them–he took them and he took ’em in the cruelest way. I didn’t see them again until they were adults.

Paulina: Well, kate, kate I’m so sorry.

Kate: No, I’m sorry. I’m sorry, I should never have judged you before I had the facts. Anyway, I have a meeting. I need to go. I’m so glad we talked. I wish you luck.

Paulina: Thank you. I’m gonna–I’m gonna need it.

Abigail: I have an idea. Let’s not spend any more time talking about ej.

Chad: I am totally on board with that. Harold, what’s up? Abby and I are gonna be taking dinner in our room tonight. Perfect. Thank you. Dinner will arrive whenever we’re ready. So I think– I think I’d like to spend our time… doing that. And this. And this.

Ava: “I’m on my way home, be there in a few.”

[Sighs] Rafe, you sent this a long time ago.

Rafe: Just hear me out. Listen, I understand I know that you want to put what happened behind us, I do. And there’s nothing more that I would want than to give what you want. I’m trying so damn hard to put it out of my mind and it’s just I don’t know if I can right now or maybe even ever.

Ej: Well, well, well. What have we here?

Allie: Thank you for being here.

Tripp: I’ll always be here for you, allie.

Allie: Okay, I’m gonna try my dad again.

Tripp: Okay.

[Knock at door]

Allie: Dad, I was just going to call you. Did you find her? Oh, my god, mom! Ohh!

Bill: Are you going to tell me what’s going on or are you just going to keep pushing that pasta around?

Liam: No, no, I will. I just, just promise me, you’re just going to listen. Right?

Bill: Who’s a better listener than I am? Oh, okay, fine. Fine. Lo– seriously, I’m glad you reached out. I’ve been concerned.

Liam: Yeah, well, so have I, that’s kind of why I wanted to see you. I’ve been trying to be supportive, right? And by that, I mean protective. But this, this situation is not getting any easier, and I don’t know what to do. Frankly, I’m worried about hope.

Hope: Can I make you tea or something?

Brooke: No, honey, I don’t need anything. I’m fine.

Hope: Well, you have every right to be upset with ridge but he shouldn’t have stormed out like that.

Brooke: He’s just frustrated. And to be honest, so am I.

Hope: Alright well, still, walking away doesn’t solve anything. And besides, it’s not like you were defying ridge. If anything, you were defending your daughter.

Ridge: Hey, steffy, did you just say that my wife wasn’t worth it?

Thomas: Hold on a second. So you demanded that hope leave the property, and, and, and, brooke said she has to stay?

Ridge: Yeah. She won’t discuss it.

Thomas: Okay, well, guess what, she can’t get upset at you for leaving.

Ridge: I don’t, I don’t care if she’s upset with me, I’m upset. Cause I’m fighting this battle on my own.

Steffy: No, you’re not. That’s what I’ve been telling you. You have another family, dad, a family who loves and supports you. And it’s not just the two of us. It’s mom, too.

Bill: You concerned about hope? Let me guess because of that scumbag, deacon.

Liam: Yeah. A.K.A. Her dad, A.K.A, the guy she just decided to invite to be a grandfather to our children.

Bill: W-w-what, grandpa deacon? Absolutely not.

Liam: Well, that’s exactly what I said. But it doesn’t matter. Hope is, it’s like she’s determined to just absorb this guy into all of our lives, and there’s nothing I can say or do to change her mind.

Hope: If ridge is going to make it impossible for me to see my dad, then as much as I don’t want to say it. Maybe we should move out.

Brooke: No, honey, I don’t want you going anywhere.

Hope: Mom, you know how much I love it here. I love this cabin. I love that the kids get to be close to their grandparents, but I also don’t want to be surrounded by constant bickering and stress.

Brooke: Honey, please just let me deal with ridge. Okay? I will get through to him. I just, I don’t want this to become an issue for you, and I hate that my dad is already becoming a problem for your marriage.

Deacon: I don’t want my daughter feeling terrible about anything.

Ridge: Deacon is the problem. Brooke and I we’ve been in a great place for a long time. He shows up and–

Thomas: He is coming between the two of you.

Ridge: I don’t know. I don’t know I, yeah, I, maybe I don’t know. We’re out of sync.

Thomas: We can see that.

Steffy: You haven’t been this stressed in a while.

Ridge: Well, because i thought we left deacon behind us long time ago.

Steffy: You still haven’t answered the question, all this angst and frustration. Is brooke really worth it?

Bill: Deacon isn’t a stranger to hope. She can’t have any illusions about it.

Liam: She’s not going to hold his past against him.

Bill: Alright, fine if she wants to give sharpe another opportunity to blow up her life, have at it. But, but don’t bring him into your home. Introduce him to your kids. She already has. Dammit, liam. You give him an opening, he will exploit it.

Liam: So, okay, so do you see why I’m so freaked out about this? Every time I try to confront hope with it she digs her heels in even more because to her, it’s evidence that we’re not treating deacon fairly.

Bill: And who do you suppose put that idea in her head?

Liam: Exactly, exactly. The guy is trying to polarize us. Now it hasn’t worked yet, and I hope it won’T. But the longer this goes on…

Bill: Okay, listen, I think what you’re trying to say without saying it is that you want me to talk to him.

Liam: No, no, no.

Bill: Listen. Listen to me. I know deacon. He is not somebody that hope can trust.

Liam: But he’s her father. And to, and to hope, that just trumps everything else.

Bill: And you’re her husband. That’s got to count for something.

Liam: Of course it, course it counts for something. Yes, we love each other, we support each other 100%, but I just can’t tell her what to do. Hope makes up her own mind.

Bill: That doesn’t mean that you have to agree with it. Now, I know you don’t want to argue with your wife.

Liam: No, I really don’t want to argue with my wife. But we’ve been doing a lot of that lately.

Bill: What are you saying, liam? This is putting a strain on your marriage? You and hope are in trouble?

Deacon: I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop.

Hope: No, no. It’s fine, dad. Besides, it’s something you should know because we should all be open with each other.

Deacon: Well, if what I heard is correct, I’m sorry. Look, I know my being here is causing problems for both of you. I hate it.

Hope: Well, I’m not blaming you for that.

Brooke: I don’t want anybody worrying about ridge and me. I’m concerned about you and liam.

Hope: Yeah, but mom, you and ridge are at odds about this. I mean, ridge basically confronted me and told me that if I want to allow you in my life that my family and I need to find another place to live.

Deacon: Wow. Really?

Hope: Yes.

Ridge: I can’t have a man that I despise come over here and pretend that this is his house. I think it’s affecting& my relationship with brooke, and he’s come between us before. I’m not going to let it happen again. I will fight tooth and nail for this marriage. You want to be with him? I want to keep my sanity. So if you need to leave, leave and I know this won’t be easy.

Hope: Ridge, what you are asking– oh honey, I’m not asking. I’m telling you if you want to be with your dad, it won’t be here. Grab your kids, grab your husband, grab your stuff and move on.

Deacon: I mean, that seems kind of harsh, even for ridge, throwing you out of your own house. You’re not going to do that, right? You’re not going to leave.

Hope: Well, I’m, I am considering it.

Brooke: No, I won’t allow it. I told hope and I told ridge that my daughter isn’t going anywhere.

Deacon: Good, I’m glad to hear that, but something tells me that ridge isn’t feeling quite so positive.

Ridge: I don’t blame brooke for what’s happening.

Steffy: The other day, you were worried that deacon might come back not only for hope, but for brooke too.

Ridge: It’s not her fault, either.

Thomas: Okay, but this is causing you a lot of stress.

Steffy: Yeah, and I think that’s like the normal in your relationship.

Ridge: I, what did I just, i just told you, we’re doing well, we’re doing really well.

Steffy: Yes, sometimes you are. But when I look at your history, all I see is brooke’s drama. You can’t ignore that. I know you’re about to say all marriages have its challenges, but…

Thomas: You know what, I mean, brooke’s is not the only one to start a whole family crisis.

Steffy: But you can’t say this isn’t just about deacon. Like, look, look at brooke. Deacon’s presence is a reminder of brooke’s worst scandal ever.

Ridge: Alright, and I’m sure she doesn’t want to be reminded of that either.

Thomas: She wouldn’t have to if she just got rid of deacon.

Steffy: She’s not willing to do that.

Ridge: No, she’s not. Alright. In the beginning, I thought this was all about hope, about what she needs. But now. It seems like brooke is just inviting this guy back into her life with open arms. I can’t have it, can’t have it.

Find your rhythm.

Liam: Man, hope and I, we’re going, we’re going to be fine. It’s just… this whole thing has been a lot more difficult than it should be.

Bill: Shouldn’t be difficult. I mean, this is deacon sharpe talking about. Everyone, I mean, everyone knows he can’t be trusted.

Liam: Yeah, well, I start talking like that and then my marriage really is in trouble.

Bill: I’m not wrong, liam.

Liam: No, you’re not wrong. And neither am I. But here’s the thing. Hope has been waiting her whole life for this guy to show up and do right by her.

Bill: She can wait 10 lifetimes it ain’t going to happen. Look, I get it. You don’t want to tell your wife that she can’t have a relationship with her own father. Yeah, I’m sure that hope may have expressed the same to you about me on a few occasions. But here’s the bottom line. You pledged your life to hope. You made a promise to prioritize her and the children. So in every situation, no matter what, that’s your answer. You made a promise, son. Keep it. Do whatever you have to do to keep hope and the children away from deacon.

Steffy: We’re not trying to undermine your marriage.

Thomas: Or make you defensive.

Steffy: That’s the last thing we want. We are on your side, but. It seems like brooke isn’t and I know you’re trying to look out for brooke and for hope.

Ridge: I can see what’s happening. You can see what’s happening, why can’t they?

Steffy: I don’t think they want to. This isn’t just about hope. This is about brooke too, her history with deacon. And I know that history disturbs you.

Ridge: I think it disturbs all of us. But that guy is still carrying a torch for her. And then. She knows how dangerous he is, she can’t let him in.

Thomas: It seems like she already has.

Steffy: I’m sorry. I understand why this is hard for you and we’re not trying to make it harder, but I can see why you want deacon to stay far away from brooke as possible.

Deacon: Guessing ridge blew a gasket when you told him hope wasn’t leaving.

Brooke: Ridge and I don’t want to argue about this.

Deacon: Sure. But this is your house. I mean, he has no right to tell hope to leave.

Brooke: Well, ridge and i are married, we’re in love. We share our family, we share our lives. We share this house. But, yes, hope is my daughter.

Deacon: Our daughter, and come on. He should have known that you weren’t going to allow him to bully hope and her family out the door.

Brooke: Ridge is just frustrated. He sees you and hope getting closer and he wonders what that means for the future, for our lives.

Deacon: So what, so his, his response is to threaten eviction?

Brooke: Well, that’s just not going to happen. Because I love having you here, sweetheart. You, liam, the children. I love hearing the laughter coming from this home. I love seeing the kids playing in the garden. You know, they’re going to grow up and they’re going to remember this, how we spent all this time together. Means a lot to me, and I don’t want to let it go. It’s too important to me.

Deacon: Wow, that’s, that’s what I’m talking about. That’s exactly the kind of connection I want to have with you, hope with our granddaughter, beth, even with douglas. Look, ridge can think whatever he wants to. Okay, but I want you to know that this is the reason that I came back. Brooke, the way you love having your family around here, the, the bond. I want that. I want to feel that joy, I want to make those memories. I want to, I want to be a family.

I’m jimmy dean and

thank you very much

Liam: You know it means a lot being able to come to you with this. And the funny thing about this whole situation, I’ve never been more grateful to have you in my life. Problem is hope feels the same way about deacon and I, I’ll never be able to trust him.

Hope: Well, I have faith that you are a changed man and that you are going to do whatever it takes to turn your life around.

Deacon: And I’m determined to prove it to you. Your support is all the encouragement I need. Brooke, I just wish that my being here was as good for you.

Hope: Well, I want you to be here. And that’s why I started writing you back when you were in prison. I wanted to rebuild my relationship with you. I want to see you. I want to have you in my life.

Brooke: I’m not going to let anybody blame this on you, sweetheart.

Hope: Well, that’s just the thing. There shouldn’t be any blame. This, why are we treating this like it’s a bad thing, because it’s not. You, dad, you are not a bad person. You’re not a danger and you’re not a threat. You are my dad. And anyone who is questioning my judgment, they’re just going to have to find a way to accept that.

Deacon: Or, they’re going to at least have to understand it. I mean, you’re my kid. It’s only natural that we’d want to get to know each other. Brooke, what you’ve done? I mean, it’s amazing sticking up for hope, accepting our relationship together. It means more to me than I can put into words.

Steffy: I don’t mean to drag brooke, but her past with deacon is shady. You don’t want to dwell on it. It’s ugly. It’s painful. Brooke had an affair with her daughter’s husband.

Ridge: And they’ve been trying to fix their relationship for a long time.

Thomas: Right. Um, how often does bridget actually come home?

Ridge: It’s not, don’t do that, she’s, she’s busy, she has a family of her own,

Steffy: Or maybe she doesn’t want to face it because her mom had a child with her husband?

Ridge: A long time ago.

Steffy: Well, now deacon’s back, and it’s unavoidable.

Thomas: Okay, look. We get that this is intense and very personal for you.

Steffy: We understand that. Okay, dad, you weren’t with brooke at the time, you were with mom.

Thomas: And look, I have great memories from that time. Obviously, not how it ended, but us as a family.

Steffy: Yeah, unfortunately, brooke took you away.

Ridge: And there it is. You’ve never forgiven her for that at all, have you?

Steffy: Honestly, no. I’ll always be angry that mom lost you to brooke.

Thomas: Me too. Okay, but that’s not where we’re coming from right now. You’re worried about brooke, but we’re worried about you. We don’t want you dealing with this, but you can’t keep pointing the finger at deacon. He’s not just the problem. Brooke’s fueling the fire too, mom never did that to you. She was such a good, good human being. She always wanted what’s best for you. I always thought we were going to win, but here we are, tying ourselves in knots because the logan women want what they want. When is it going to stop? What are you going to stop justifying this?

Ridge: I’m not justifying anything.

Thomas: You’re worried about what could happen if deacon sticks around.

Steffy: And you wouldn’t be if you had faith in your wife. Aren’t you tired of this? Aren’t you tired of brooke’s drama? What are you going to be fed up and come home? You have a family here. Me, thomas, mom, we love you and we don’t want to see you hurting. We miss our family, dad. I miss you.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

laura: Yummy. I see why hummingbird cake is your mother’s favorite. I’ll have to remember to order one when I get back home. Maybe. Or maybe we could just order another and have it brought here. I still have to get back home. And you still can’T. Not while there’s a threat out there. If I choose to assume the risk, that is my business. I’m sorry. You know, laura, we don’t really need to keep going over this, do we?

[ Sighs ] Do you really want me to go outside and tell agent silva you’re planning to make a run for it? Your devotion to me is appalling. You are right. I am devoted. Live with it. We are stuck here, and we are going to make the best of it. Matter of fact, I’ve got a surprise for you later.

[ Monitor beeping ]

[ Sniffles, sobs ] I didn’t want to wake you. Sorry I got here so late. It’s okay. I wasn’t sleeping. How are you holding up? Sasha: Brando. I’d like to see michael, too. I think this conversation calls for privacy. Well, sonny and I thought we had privacy in the chapel, but that turned out not to be the case. You were there. And I wish to god I hadn’t been. I wish I hadn’t heard a single word. Hi, maxie. Can I come in? Yeah, of course. I’m just a little surprised to see you. That’s all. You here to tell me I’m wrong again? I mean, you wouldn’t be wrong. I was wrong. I really shouldn’t have interfered with brook lynn and valentin. Right. Why are you here if we’re not friends? Well, I don’t know where I am with that, but there is someone who thinks we’re friends. Maybe even more than that. Your ex. Peter august.

[ Door slams ] How’d you get in here?

[ Laughs ] Funny thing about jason. Some of the cops hated him, some of the cops liked him, but… they all respected him. Come on, corinthos. You really expect me to believe the police thought jason morgan was an honorable man? I don’t give a damn what you think. Look around. Nobody’s in here but you and me. You killed jason. All rules go out the window. Nobody wants to protect you. Everybody wants to see you pay. So it looks like I’m gonna do the honors.


[Mallet banging]

[Drums banging]

[Inhales]

[Exhales]

[Mallet banging]

[Drums banging]

[Inhales] You checked out with the management office. It seems nancy, our regular maid, called in sick. You’re good to go. I’m sorry you had to wait and stay later. Oh, that’s okay. I could use the overtime. Well, nothing in the news about victor cassadine’s release. But then again, I suppose they wouldn’t — they wouldn’t tell the press. But, I mean, most people don’t know him anyway. But I assure you… laura, there is nothing you can do about victor cassadine from here. You’re not leaving. That’s final. It’s too dangerous. Okay, it’s not just victor cassadine. I miss my family. I empathize. I even feel bad. I mean, selfishly, I have you here to myself. It’s not like I have anybody to miss at home, like you do. I’m sorry. And you know what? I think I ought to make sure that our trusty agent silva gets a slice of this wonderful, yummy hummingbird cake, as he is the one who arranged it. Mm. Whoa, martin. What are you doing? Close the door and stay inside. Relax. I just want to make sure you got some hummingbird cake. Enjoy.

[ Door closes ] I was on duty when peter came in, so I treated him, and he saw my name on my I.D. Badge, and he recognized me as the man who delivered your baby. And then he insinuated that I kidnapped louise. He did what? Mm-hmm. Oh, my god, I am so sorry. Um, what did you say? Well, I reacted with professional detachment… until I didn’t, because I kind of reacted like an angry middle schooler. I stuck him with a syringe a couple extra times when I was drawing blood.

[ Both chuckle ] What did you say about me? And you? And our friendship, or lack thereof? I told him the truth. I told peter that I would do anything to keep him from hurting you. Sonny: Don’t you get it? You’re all out of friends, peter — people willing to believe in you. They all want you gone. And I have the power to make it happen. I didn’t kill your precious jason. You shot at him! And you caused the cave-in, and he was buried in that godforsaken island. You don’t deserve another breath. Yet here I am.

[ Breathes deeply ] Still breathing. Not for long. You’re not gonna kill me. You know why? Because if you do, your little secret will come out. I know it must be terrifying to see your grandson like that.

[ Sniffles ] I wasn’t prepared. I-I-I knew there were issues, but I was trying to be good about giving brando and sasha space. I didn’t visit. And then brando gave me the okay, and I came straight here. He’s so little. I know. Hooked up to all those tubes and machines. Yeah. It’s overwhelming. This is the first time I’ve seen him, too. I was up visiting with sasha, and brando brought sonny here. Did you see the name they gave him? Liam? I think it’s a nice name.

[ Sighs ] It’s not rugged or stylish, like brando. It sounds like a character in a fairy-tale book. I mean, brando, you know, reminds you of one of the most fantastic movie stars of all history. Liam neeson’s a pretty big movie star, too. Not like brando. I mean, I tried to offer names. Did they listen? No. Liam. It’s such a lackluster name. Ah, must be a millennial thing. Probably sasha’s idea. I got this for liam. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] I love getting gifts for liam. I can’t wait to see him in his nursery playing with all of them, making a mess. Maybe his big cousin wiley can show him how to play blocks. I seem to remember wiley was a whiz at them. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. No, I can’t wait to see them together. Is willow here? I’d love to see her. I thought she’d be here by now. We showed up together, but when I was talking to my parents, she must have wandered off. Well, maybe she stopped by earlier and thought we were sleeping, like you did. I’m sure she’ll be here soon. You probably misunderstood what you heard. Or maybe you just took it out of context, willow. You know, sonny and I, we were talking about peter, and we were both really upset, because I don’t know if you know this, but peter tried to kill me. He set a bar on fire when I was in there, and sonny, he rushed into the burning building, and he saved my life. So we had a friendship, you know, back in nixon falls, when he didn’t know who he was. And we had a bond when he thought — can you just — can you just tell me what you overheard? Enough to know that you and sonny fell in love, and you don’t regret it because it was the purest thing you’ve ever known.


Well, I appreciate chivalry, but I’m afraid peter might have interpreted it as something more. Yeah, he kind of fished around about that, and I told him that I would be proud to be your friend. And what did he say? I think that he senses that I’m not really in that hallowed circle. And he told me he was gonna do everything he could to keep it that way. He threatened you? He mewled like a cornered little kitty cat…

[ Chuckles ] …Kind of yowling. Maxie, what’s going on here? Why are you asking me all these questions? I went to see him. Why would you do that to yourself? Because I needed to prove to myself that I could stand in front of peter and show him I’m not afraid of him anymore. I wanted him to know that he means nothing to me, that I feel nothing for him but contempt. How’d that go? That’s a great name, by the way. I love it. Liam. Liam mike corbin. Mike lives on. He was a hell of a guy. That he was. Alright, well, I’ll go put this with the rest of your collection. Yeah. Um… would you just hold on for a minute? We’d like to ask you something. Yeah, sure. Anything. What’s up? It involves willow, too. And, um… it would mean so much to us. Woul d you two do us the favorof being liam’s godparents? I-I think I can speak for willow when I say yes. Absolutely. We would be honored to be there for liam. Thank you. Thanks, franco. Oh. I like the “mike” part of his name. I’m gonna call him mike. Maybe you should let sasha and brando decide what they want people to call their son.

[ Scoffs ] Well, I’m not “people.” I’m the grandma. The one and only. I don’t have to share him with anybody. I’ll bet you hate having to share that grandson of yours with that awful nina reeves after what she did to you and sonny. I’m just glad wiley has a lot of people who love him. Depends on the people. Well, you know what? Liam’s gonna have a big extended family. He’s gonna have tons of people who love him. I can’t wait to take him to the park. Or show him off at your restaurant.

[ Laughs ] I want to be there for his first smile, his first steps, his first word. Wouldn’t it be a hoot if it was “grandma”?

[ Laughs ] I bet you’ll stop at nothing to make that happen. I was so young when I had brando. I wasn’t ready for a baby. And I missed so much. I hope I can make up for it.

[ Monitor beeping ] He looks like brando. Don’t you think? I can see both sasha and brando in him. Both of his parents have strong fighting spirits. You deserve to know the truth. You’ve been good to me when you didn’t have to be. You mean when I didn’t know the whole story. Yes, I was willing to bend the rules and let you see wiley, even though carly kept pounding it into me how toxic you were to her family. I just didn’t realize

how toxic. And, my god, sonny’s been insisting that michael and carly let go of their hostility toward you. Is it because you’re in love? Have you been sneaking around all this time? Are you and sonny having an affair? No, no, it’s not like that. It… yes, we were in love, but you know what? As soon as sonny found out who he really was, it ended. Oh, so you had an affair in nixon falls? No, no, no, no. We never went that far. It never went to that level. Willow, it’s exactly what you heard me say. It was pure. It was…just love. Just… it was just love. And you’re not over it. You think you can run a bluff on me, peter? Look at you. So calm and cool and collected. Nothing like mike in nixon falls. No, no. Poor mike. You know, he was too simple to even know he was being duped by nina. Do you remember? Can you remember how righteous you were? Telling me all about how you found yourself in that little town. I’ll tell you what you found for yourself. You found a whole lot of nina. And guess what, sonny? I recorded it. All of it. I got a great picture of that kiss, too. It’s all on a thumb drive, safe in a vault, locked away, ready to be opened upon my death. So you kill me, you’re just gonna breathe life into that little secret about nina and you.


well, I don’t know how you do it. How I do what? Maintain a stable marriage. I never could. Why not? Simple — I’m a terrible husband. You know, do you think maybe it’s because your father was a terrible role model? Possibly. Possibly it’s because I was always a little too overly attached to my mama, especially after the family went sideways.

[ Sighs ] On the upside, if it wasn’t for my daddy’s philandering ways, I would be without my magnificent sister. To you, beautiful. Mm. If you’re trying to cheer me up, it’s working. Excellent! As I told you, there is something else. Are you ready for your surprise? Is it a new video game? Nope. No. Something to get us in the holiday spirit. We are going to enjoy everyone’s favorite holiday classic christmas film.

[ Orchestral music playing

on television ] Oh, no, no. Not “christina comes home for christmas.”

[ Sighs ] Martin, I can’t watch that movie. I’m sorry. I just can’T. I just can’t believe I didn’t see through him until now. I used to try to protect him. You know, change him. Such a fool. I mean, I don’t think so. Don’t beat yourself up. I mean, you’re just — you’re a generous person. You’re very kindhearted, and peter took advantage of that. And, hey, from the little time I spent with him, that guy can turn the charm on when he wants to. What do you mean? Well, he has this way of talking — this, like, heightened language and pretty words and… I don’t know. He does seem certain that the two of you are gonna be together someday. Yeah, that’s all peter’s got — dreams and delusions. Fate. He mentioned fate. I don’t believe in fate. I told him so. I wish you wouldn’t have done that. Why not? Well, you’ve probably made yourself peter’s newest obsession. Yeah, I’m not worried about that. Uh, make no mistake — peter sees you as a rival for me. That could be dangerous for you. Between you and me, carly won’thave to know anything about nina as long as I stay alive. Carly will know everything when the time is right, so keep your little threats to yourself. And I don’t believe for a second that you have anything stashed in a vault, and even if you did, do you think I’d let you hold nixon falls over my head? This is bigger than nixon falls. You took jason away from me and my family. You terrorized maxie. You think I’m gonna let you hurt anybody else? What are you gonna do, sonny? Are you gonna kill me right here in the police station? No, no, no. Because I’m gonna let you wait and wonder. When you hear those… those footsteps approaching your cell, you’re gonna think to yourself, “did he send somebody? Am I gonna die tonight?” Hopelessly obsessed with a woman who despises you, never even met your daughter. Don’t even know where she is… dead or alive! Don’t say that! Don’t you dare say that to me! Sit down. Relax. ‘Cause wherever she is… …she’s better off there than with you. My brando was born so healthy. I didn’t know how lucky I was. And then when he succumbed to drugs, I told everyone he was dead… instead of supporting him through it. How could I have done that to my own son? I mean, maybe this is punishment for me being such a bad mother. No, gladys, this is not punishment. You were a young mother, and you probably didn’t have the support you needed, and you were doing the best you could under the circumstance. Brando: Mom. Hey. We were wondering when you’d get here. Oh! Oh. I-I was giving you space. Thanks. Your baby is gorgeous. And, um, oh, how are you feeling, sasha? I should be up and around in a day or two. Thanks for asking. That’s good, honey. That’s great. Now, will the two of you tell me when my sweet little grandson gets to come home? It doesn’t matter how I feel about sonny. He doesn’t love me. He never did. It’s mike who fell in love with me. Because you never told him who he really was. That he had a family here waiting for him, missing him, grieving him. I swear, willow — I didn’t want it to happen. I fought against it. I did. I tried leaving nixon falls, but it would always draw me back. When I left port charles, I was in such deep pain and confusion, and I… I found peace in nixon falls. A new life, a new me. And mike was part of that. And then michael, he called, and he told me that I could be part of wiley’s life again. So I thought, “okay, well, I’ll just go back to port charles, and then what? I’ll tell the truth?” But that didn’t happen. All that time… you knew sonny was alive, and you never told us. You — you played with our son and never said a word. I wanted to tell you about sonny. I did. But then mike would call, and he would say that he missed me, or phyllis needed support, and I couldn’t turn my back on them. I went back to nixon falls, and there he was — mike, behind the bar. This man that was so sweet and good. He didn’t want to know who he really was. I tried to stop it, but, yeah, I fell in love with him. I know. And you’ll never, ever regret it. But what about carly? I understand why you haven’t said anything, but why hasn’t sonny? Because it’s over. Why would he tell her when there’s no reason? Why would he do that? Because it’s the truth. Because you’re still sneaking around, having hushed conversations. Okay, willow. Okay. You know the truth now. What are you gonna do? Are you going to tell michael and carly?


I’m gonna go, uh, find michael. Oh, he’s in my room. Michael was kind enough to offer to pack up all the gifts we received and take them to liam’s nursery. Then I’m gonna go lend him a hand. I want you to call me if you need anything. You too. Sometimes she’s not so bad. Now, what’s the matter with my little mikey? Um… he was deprived of oxygen, and sasha had a problem with her placenta. And n-nobody knew it was happening until she was in labor, and that’s when things turned serious for her during the delivery. But sasha’s okay now, right? And — and what about the baby? He’s okay, too, right? Aren’t you taking little mike home soon? You don’t need to worry about me. You don’T. I mean, he’s under constant supervision. You got the pcpd, the wsb. And even if he does somehow manage to escape and come after me, I’ll just kill him and call it self-defense. Yep. I think peter has a lot of enemies, so probably somebody else is gonna do him in before it comes to that. Sonny: You really messed up this time, peter. You know, having two little girls is a delight. Thank god that your daughter never has to know the horror show that you are. And when I’m playing with my little girls and my whole family’s loving me back, you’re gonna be meeting your maker. You’re gonna be in your cell alone… asking for mercy, and you ain’t gonna get it. And you feel… you, of all people, you feel like you’re qualified to judge me and to end my life. Is that it? I’m doing this with peace in my heart in the name of all the people that you hurt and killed. And jason is at the top of that list. So I just want you to remember that when they come for you, that I sent them. And they’re gonna tell me when it’s finished, and I’m gonna smile. And guess what? What? Everybody’s gonna be so happy that you’re done… it’s the end. Especially maxie. They never have to think of you again. Have a nice life, peter. Whatever’s left of it.

[ Door opens, closes ] This is so unfair. I mean, sasha and brando, they should be laughing and having fun, you know? Planning where they’re gonna put all this in liam’s nursery. Not terrified that he’ll never get to play with any of it. It’s hard. And I’m sure it brings up painful feelings for you over jonah. Yeah, I grieved for over a year until I got my miracle. I hope that sasha and brando don’t have to wait as long for theirs. I know about running away and starting over. I also know something about secrets and lies. I’ve been both the recipient and the perpetrator. I know how they can fester and grow. And I know how you can feel trapped in them and by them. That’s exactly right. That’s how I feel. But the thing is, nina, someone always gets hurt, and that pure love of yours, it was based on deceit. You kept sonny’s identity and whereabouts a secret. Was it because you fell for him and didn’t want him to leave? No, not at first. But then towards the end, it just… it just got really confusing. And then the lie just… willow, I know what I did was wrong. There’s no excuse for it. Keeping sonny away from his family caused so much pain, but why compound it by telling people what you overheard, that sonny and I fell in love in nixon falls, when it’s over? But is it? Yes! He’s with the woman that he loves. He’s with his wife and his family, and I respect that. Willow, the fallout of all of this has been brutal. Why make it worse for carly and the family? You mean why make it worse for you?


Ho. Ho. Ho. It’s santa. We got a problem. Wooooooo! Ho! Ho! Ho! I don’t understand. Everyone loves “christina comes home for christmas.” Why don’t you? I do. I love it. I watch it every year. It’s part of our family christmas tradition. But I can’t do it this year. Oh. ‘Cause you watch it with kevin. No. [ Sighs ] Because it reminds me too much of home. It reminds me of my children and my grandkids, my family, my friends, and everything. Everything that I am missing right now. You know? I mean, just going out christmas shopping and the tree lighting in rice plaza. I can’t watch a movie about a woman who is struggling to get home, but I can’t go home! Maybe it might be cathartic. Okay? So, you know, how about we watch it tonight, we have a good cry, and we wake up feeling better tomorrow? No. But we’re not gonna feel better tomorrow, because christina gets to go home. She gets her happy ending. We are gonna be stuck here in this damn house. I know. I understand that. I’m trying to make the best of the situation. No, you’re not. Yes, I am. You know what? I can’t take this anymore. Please stop talking about it. I need my life back. No! I’m getting out of here. No! Stop talking about it, damn it! I’m going. Don’t do this! Laura, please, I’m begging. You got to hold on just a little bit longer, okay? I can’T. No, no. Listen to me. You got to do the right thing. You got to do the responsible thing. And that means keeping the faith and sitting tight. I — listen to me. This, too, shall pass. But not if you do something stupid. What good is it going to do all those people in port charles that you love and miss, who’d love and miss you if you get yourself killed? You’re a pretty good lawyer. I have my moments. I do, too, apparently. I’m sorry I freaked out. Okay? I want to do the responsible thing for you and for myself, but I cannot watch that movie. Alright. Point taken. Understood. I’ll tell you what. Okay. Okay. How about I pour you a nice glass of cognac and you have a nice hot soak in that oversized tub in there?

[ Laughs ] For about two hours? So you’re totally gonna watch that movie, aren’t you? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay, sure. Pour me a glass.

[ Sighs ] I’ll give you the room. It’s true. If you share what you overheard — in nixon falls, that sonny and i fell in love with each other — it would make my bad situation even worse. Carly, she already despises me, but sonny loves carly, and carly loves sonny. Willow, do you want to really drive a wedge between that? One that doesn’t need to be there? The secret is driving the wedge between them.

[ Scoffs ] How good is that for a marriage, nina? Could you just please stop with “the secret” already?! I’m sorry, but haven’t you ever heard that it’s best not to confess everything to your partner if it’s gonna hurt them? It might even be selfish t-to do so. I am begging you — willow, please, just keep quiet. Not for my sake, okay? Not for me, because I can take whatever carly throws at me. She already hates me. And michael, he got me arrested, and he told me that he didn’t want me to see wiley anymore. But I’m begging you to keep the secret, because, listen, you don’t owe me anything, and what you think about me, I get it. At this point, I get it. But I’m begging you, I’m praying… just let me do this one good thing, okay? Please. Just keep it to yourself. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I have to go.

[ Door closes ] So how are you doing, mom? I know the situation’s hard enough without nina hanging around. I’m not gonna let her get to me. There are more important things to worry about. I mean, I just came back from visiting little liam. Have you seen him? It’s heartbreaking. No, no. No, just, I wanted to give sasha and brando some alone time with their son, so… well, they’re not alone. Was willow with them? Mnh-mnh. Gladys. I thought willow was with you. No.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Hey, there she is. Hi. Hey. I told sasha and brando we’d bring these things to brando’s place for liam’s nursery. Sure. Yeah, that’S… that’s so nice. Wait, liam — that is such a beautiful name. How is he? And sasha? Sasha is on the mend. She and brando, they’re hanging in there. They’re just waiting on word about their baby’s health. They’ve got a long night ahead of them. Yeah. We were wondering where you were.


You know, maxie, I’m gonna keep an eye on peter. I volunteered to be his physician. What? No. Yeah. Undo that. No, no, no, no. I’m gonna do that. I want to do that, maxie. I want to do that for your sake. Please. And there’s nothing you’re gonna say that’s gonna change my mind, so save your breath. Please. It’s the least I can do. What do you mean? Well, this whole brook lynn/baby daddy thing. I mean, I gave you a really hard time. And I’m still not entirely sure why you’re so invested in bailey’s paternity. But it doesn’t matter. I’m truly sorry. I’m sorry. And I can see now that for whatever reason, you and brook lynn are very close. -Can we stop talking about that? -Yeah, that’d be great, ’cause it’s been on my mind a lot. And like I told your ex, I would do just about anything to get back in your good graces. And could you stop talking to peter and asking so many questions? About what? Anything. Everything. Okay. No problem. Cool. Can we be friends? It’s an honest question. Sure. Great. Congratulations, by the way. On what? Facing peter. Thanks. Feels pretty good.

[ Door opens ] You raised a terrific son, gladys. I could not have gone through this alone. I-I can’t believe I even considered it. Being a single parent must have been really hard for you. I can understand why you were worried that I wouldn’t be prepared. It was okay. Thank you. I was just saying to carly — I-I hope I can make up for my mistakes with brando with my new grandson. I don’t want you to worry. I’m gonna be around all the time to take care of our little guy. Mom… we need to wait and see what liam’s prognosis is. And then we’ll know when we can take him home. So were you checking your nursing school schedule all this time? I… should have known I’d get caught up in things. I wish I would have come straight here instead. It’s okay. It’s okay. You’re here now. And, uh, well, I hope you don’t mind, but sasha and brando, they asked a big favor, and I took the liberty of answering for both of us. They want us to be liam’s godparents. And I said yes. And I’m so glad you did. Of course we will. Alright. Well, our first official act is, we should get these gifts to the car and then go see the baby together. Okay. And we’ll take these here. Alright. Alright. Here. I’m gonna keep this one. And I just — I’m so happy that you guys are so supportive of brando and sasha. I mean, they really need to be surrounded by us right now. Family’s really important. Yes, it is. -Hey, maxie. -Sonny. Oh, my gosh, I’m so happy to see you. Are you coming from sasha and brando? ‘Cause I was just gonna go up and see them. No, no. I’m planning on visiting them tomorrow. I wanted to talk to you about peter. Yeah, I just saw that son of a bitch. What’s on your mind? What are you gonna do about him? Are you gonna kill him? Hey, you know something? Hmm? I’m really glad that we’ve gotten this time to, well, make up for the time we lost by not growing up together. Mm. On the other hand, we might have driven each other crazy. There’s still time. Love you. Mm. You too. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm, mm, mm.

[ Applause ]

Nikki: There he is, the man of the hour.

Abby: You okay?

Chance: Yeah, yeah, I’m alright.

Abby: You sure?

Chance: Yeah, positive, but all this — all this cheering, it’s not necessary, really.

Jill: Oh, I totally disagree.

Jack: Oh, we are all so thrilled to have you home. I hope you won’t begrudge us making a big fuss of this.

Jill: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: Friends and family, we have a true hero among us, one I have the greatest respect for. As you know, chance recently went to spain with a group of his special forces buddies in order to prevent a certain attack on one of our allies by a group of terrorists. Unfortunately, the safe house they were staying in was attacked. None of the special forces survived except chance. So he’s here among us now. He’s helping the state department and intelligence services to identify those who were responsible for the attack. And until they have identified them, we cannot talk about this. The press doesn’t know a word about this. If you see some extra security around the hotel, they are there to keep chance and us safe.

Victoria: Bravo, chance.

[ Applause ]

Nikki: We’re all so proud of you, and I know katherine would be, too.

Abby: You’ve always been my hero, and you always will be.

Chance: Thank you.

Ashley: Let’s not forget abby, who never stopped believing in her husband. We were all so distraught and grief-stricken, and you never, ever lost faith in chance.

Abby: And I never will. Mm.

Chance: [ Sighs ]

[ Chuckles ]

Sharon: Nick. What are you doing here? I mean, I thought you’d be at chance’s party, and mariah told me about it. It’s just a miracle that he’s alive and he’s back home.

Nick: Yeah.

Sharon: So why aren’t you there?

Nick: Chance coming home is the best thing to happen to this family in a long time, and i don’t want to ruin it by showing up.

Jack: Thank you. I cannot believe you two have the fortitude to show up at this party after everything you have been through.

Chance: Well, couldn’t let everyone down, right?

Abby: He is unstoppable and probably a little hungry.

Chance: Oh, honey, I’m fine.

Abby: No, no, you need to eat. Let’s go get you some food.

Chance: Okay. Excuse us.

Jack: Yeah.

Phyllis: Hey.

Jack: Hiya. May we all find someone to look at us the way abby and chance look at each other.

Phyllis: Yeah, it’s nice.

Jack: You certainly threw this party together rather quickly.

Phyllis: Well, you know, they asked me to. They — they’ve gone through a lot. They deserve it. So I’m glad your trip was successful.

Jack: Oh, thanks. I am just in awe of my niece right now. The devotion, the dedication, the level of love is so deep and connected that, well, she seemed to know in her heart that chance was alive even when everyone was telling her there’s no way he could’ve survived.

Phyllis: Well, that is a special kind of love, when you — when you find it, you have to hold onto it with both hands.

Jack: I’m sure she’s gonna cherish it all the more knowing that she almost lost him. And what he endured, my god. Faking his own death in order to not be discovered. I don’t know anything about that. I do know it’s good that he’s home.

Phyllis: I’m glad you’re here.

Victor: Pardon the interruption, jack.

Phyllis: Yeah, this should be good.

Victor: I wanted to thank you. Want your clothes to smell freshly washed

Sharon: So you missed victoria’s wedding and, you know, you can’t miss abby’s celebration, too.

Nick: I mean, vick and i haven’t exactly patched things up, you know, completely, and my dad and I are barely talking.

Sharon: Hmm. So you don’t want to dampen the festivities, I get it.

Nick: You got it. I don’t want to put chance through any more of the newman family drama.

Sharon: Well, just make a decision to be civil. You know, I doubt that victoria and victor want things to get ugly either.

Nick: It’s not that simple. I mean, earlier today, ashland and I got into it yet again.

Sharon: What? Why? I thought that all of your issues with him were moot at this point.

Nick: It was his doing. You know, he summoned me to newman enterprises and basically demanded that I tell him all the reasons why I don’t like and trust him, which I did in incredible detail.

[ Sighs ] And wouldn’t you know it, victoria just happens to walk in as I’m warning him that he better not hurt victoria.

Sharon: Oh, no.

Nick: Yeah. I tried to tell her that this is what ashland wanted, but she didn’t care. And then she’s the one who told me that chance is alive, which is just further proof that I am completely out of the loop in this family.

Sharon: Wow. And here I was thinking that you were just worried you were gonna run into phyllis and things might get a little awkward.

Nick: Nah, you know what? That never crossed my mind.

Sharon: Oh, okay. Right.

Nick: Look, I think phyllis and I have done a very good job keeping things civil, but on a night like tonight, everything could blow up, and I don’t want to be the one to get a champagne bucket full of ice dumped on my head.

Sharon: I think you should go.

Nick: You just want to hear that I was humiliated by my ex in public.

Sharon: [ Chuckles ] No, because it’s an important night for abby and chance, and i doubt they’ll mind if there’s a little bit of weirdness.

Nick: Yeah, I don’t know.

Sharon: Oh, come on, you’ll have plenty of buffers. You shouldn’t let a little bit of bad blood keep you from welcoming chance home.

Nick: I’ll just call chance tomorrow, you know? We could meet up and talk.

Sharon: Well, you know, the party isn’t about victor and victoria and phyllis. It’s about abby and chance and how love triumphed.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] You are such a romantic.

Sharon: [ Chuckles ] Come on. Go and show abby that you’re the great big brother that she knows and loves.

Nick: [ Sighs ]

Jack: Perhaps i misunderstood. It sounded like you said —

Victor: Well, if you must hear it again, I said, “thank you.”

Phyllis: [ Scoffs ] Excuse me.

Jack: Well, you’re in quite a mood. I’m sure seeing your child so happy makes you quite happy.

Victor: I’m in a very good mood. But I owe you a debt of gratitude for accompanying ashley to search for abby.

Jack: Well, thank you for the sentiment. I really didn’t do anything.

Victor: They told me you were a rock. Not only for ashley, but to abby and chance, as well.

Jack: I merely did what anyone would do in my circumstance.

Victor: Well…how did chance seem to you on the way home?

Jack: He slept most of the way, but when he was awake, he was pretty quiet.

Victor: Hmm. Any idea as to the extent of his injuries?

Jack: Well, physically, i think he’s well on the road to recovery. Psychologically…may take some time. All the readjusting he has to do living a day-to-day life here in genoa city I think will surprise even him.

Victor: Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Abby: Can I get you some water, some juice?

Chance: Yeah, yeah, some water would be great. Thank you.

Abby: Stay here. I’ll be right back.

Chance: [ Sighs ]

Nikki: Chance. I just want to tell you how good it is to have you back.

Chance: Oh, thank you. And thank you so much for putting this whole thing together. I really appreciate it.

Nikki: Mm, and you’d rather be anywhere else in the world right now, right?

Chance: No, no, not at all.

Nikki: Oh, come on, you don’t have to pretend with me.

Chance: Yeah, I — you know, I’ve just been keeping my head down for the last few months. Staying away from crowds like this.

Nikki: Well, I imagine all of this attention is overwhelming after everything you’ve been through.

Chance: Yeah, it’s been a crazy past few months, I’ll tell you what. But I’m trying to put all that in the rearview mirror.

[ Chuckles ]

Nikki: There are so many people who love you for you to come home to, and a bright new future awaits.

Chance: You are right. I’m trying to focus on what’s ahead.

Nikki: Well, nobody expects you to put on a show tonight. In fact, this whole gathering was supposed to be more intimate, but you know victor.

Chance: [ Chuckles ]

Nikki: He thought you deserved better and a hero’s welcome.

Chance: Yeah, well, it’s — it’s so nice, really.

Nikki: You know, this way, by seeing everybody all together, it will save you from the flood of uninvited guests banging down your door.

Chance: That’s — you know, that’s actually a good point.

[ Both chuckle ]

Nikki: Well, a lot of people wanted to come tonight, but some of them couldn’t make it at the last minute.

Chance: I know, I know, i feel very humbled that all these people would show up, and especially to know that victor thinks this highly of me.

Nikki: Oh, yes.

Chance: [ Chuckles ] Victor, good to see you.

Victor: Chance.

Chance: How are you?

Victor: Doing well.

Chance: Thank you again for everything, really. I want you to know how much this means to me, and not just the party, everything that you’ve done for abby and dominic. Thank you.

Victor: Chance, you’re part of our family now, and this is what we newmans do for our own. Okay?

Nikki: We have to celebrate the good times. If katherine were here, she would insist on it.

Victor: I think you had a feeling of how stubborn my daughter is. You know, she refused to believe that she had lost you.

Nikki: Mm-hmm.

Victor: It is her faith that brought you here.

Chance: Yes, sir.

Victor: And now you’re with her, your wife, your baby in genoa city, and I hope you stay for a long, long time.

Chance: [ Chuckles ]

Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Chance: I hope you know how much I love your daughter, sir. And I know that I missed out on a lot, lost time that I’ll never get back with her. But I promise you, I’m going to try like hell to make it up to her.

Victor: I’m glad to hear that, chance.

Chance: I’m already second-guessing some of the decisions that took me away from her.

Victor: I bet you are, but there’s no sense in beating yourself up, you know. I’m sure they will find the culprits who are responsible for that.

Chance: Yes, sir. Just wish I could’ve done more.

Nikki: Are you kidding? You did plenty.

Victor: Anyway, now it’s over. You can leave all that behind.

Chance: Yes, sir, absolutely.

[ Chuckles ]

Victoria: I can’t tell you how happy we were to hear the wonderful news about chance.

Ashland: I’m glad we get to celebrate his return with you.

Abby: I’m so sorry I missed your wedding. I heard it was phenomenal, and i saw pictures. Your dress — ugh, you looked gorgeous.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ]

Ashland: She was…stunning. It was a wonderful day, and it was a shame that you missed, but I remember what it’s like to have a newborn in the house.

Victoria: Yes, and being a single parent has its challenges.

Abby: Well, I am not doing everything on my own anymore. Dom’s father is home and he is healthy, and I can’t remember the last time I was this happy. Everything is the way it was meant to be.

Victoria: Wow.

Ashland: These are moments to cherish.

Abby: Yeah. And I am gonna value every single second that I spend with him.

Ashland: I’m looking forward to meeting this young man that everyone’s talking so highly about.

Abby: Oh, okay. Chance!

Chance: Excuse me a minute.

Abby: Sorry, I hope I didn’t interrupt anything important. Everyone wants to talk to you, including these two.

Victoria: Chance, you look great.

Chance: Oh, thank you. So do you. I mean, look at you, you’re glowing.

Victoria: Well, you can blame this guy. I would like to introduce you to my husband, ashland locke.

Chance: How you doing, man? Pleasure to meet you.

Ashland: Pleasure is all mine. Your bravery and sense of honor and duty, it’s truly remarkable and it’s all too rare.

Chance: Thank you.

Ashland: And I’m just talking about you having the daring gall to marry into the newman family.

[ Laughter ] Seriously, it couldn’t have been easy over there.

Victoria: Listen, if there’s anything that we can do to help your transition back into civilian life be any easier, then we’re here to help you. You truly are an inspiration to all of us.

Sharon: I hope phyllis isn’t the only reason you’re not going to abby’s party.

Nick: No, of course not.

Sharon: Okay, what else? You set ’em up, I’ll knock ’em down. Go.

Nick: I mean, you know, there’s my dad, there’s victoria.

Sharon: Okay, well, you can easily avoid talking to them.

Nick: Christian’s got this big basketball thing in the morning.

Sharon: Hmm. Nick, what’s really bothering you?

Nick: [ Sighs ] Can I get your honest opinion about something?

Sharon: Mm, okay.

Nick: Do you think I’m doing anything to push people away?

Sharon: Where’d you get a crazy idea like that? Oh, wait, let me guess — phyllis. She would say something like that.

Nick: No. Actually, it came from victoria.

Sharon: Okay, well, she’s mad at you right now and she knows how to get under your skin. Siblings are very good at that.

Nick: What if she’s right?

Sharon: She’s wrong. And I know that because we’re still friends, and I’m not going anywhere. You’re a good man, nick. Your intentions are pure. The problem is you just expect everyone around you to be as good as you are.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Yeah, right.

Sharon: [ Chuckles ] No, I wouldn’t say it if i didn’t mean it. You know, if you’re looking for who to blame for why your relationships are in a tangle right now, well, I could point you in the right direction, but, you know, sometimes there just isn’t anyone to blame. No one’s at fault. Things just don’t work out.

Victor: Now, will the guests of honor please stand very close to me? I hope you all have a glass in your hand. I’m about to say a toast.

Jill: Good.

Victor: Now, chance, you’ve already been welcomed into our family, but we all know how fleeting life can be. And I don’t think that words of love are ever said often enough. We all thought we had lost you, chance, but here you are. Proud father to dominic, husband to my beautiful daughter abby, and I’m happy to be grandfather again.

Jill: Mm-hmm.

Ashley: And I’m happy to be a first-time grandmother.

Phyllis: Hey, let’s not forget about great-granny jill.

Jill: Oh, my god, phyllis. No, I’m very much loving this, but when little dominic learns to talk, I hope he calls me something nicer than that.

Abby: Yes. [ Laughs ]

Victor: So let’s raise our glasses to chance, to dominic, to abby. May your family prosper and thrive.

Ashley: To their love.

Jack: To happiness.

Jill: And to defying the odds.

Jack: Hear, hear.

Abby: Hear, hear.

Victor: Cheers.

Abby: Thank you all so much.

Chance: Thank you a lot, victor. It means a lot.

Abby: That was really wonderful, wasn’t it?

Chance: Yeah, yeah. Hey, I’m gonna go run and do something real quick. I’ll be right back.

Abby: You want me to go with you?

Chance: No, no, no, everything’s fine. You just stay here.

Abby: You sure?

Chance: Yeah. Be right back.

Victor: Alright, chance, see you later.

Chance: [ Breathing deeply ] You’re alright.

[ Breathes deeply ] You got it.

[ Sighs ] Hey, man.

Devon: Chance, hey, man. You okay?

Chance: [ Sighs ]

Chance: Yeah, man, I’m fine. I’m fine. Just — just a little crowded in there, you know? Not really used to all the adulation. If we’re being honest, too, man, I feel like you’re the one that deserves to be commended.

Devon: Hey, I didn’t do anything.

Chance: Create my son. I heard you rescued mariah. You helped deliver the baby. Not to mention what you did for dominic while abby was trying to find me.

Devon: Well, takes a village, right, man?

Chance: [ Chuckles ] Glad to know I’m not the only one uncomfortable with the “hero” label.

Devon: I’m — I’m really not a hero. I’m not, and you shouldn’t downplay, you know, the lengths that you went to to keep people safe and protected.

Chance: While I should have been here, trying to protect my wife and son.

Nick: Well, your pep talk has done wonders for my ego.

Sharon: I was just telling the truth. Hey, mariah. Don’t go.

Mariah: Hi. Sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt.

Sharon: It’s okay. Come on over.

Nick: Yeah, I was just leaving anyway.

Sharon: Oh, you were?

Nick: Yeah.

Mariah: Please don’t leave on my account.

Nick: It’s nothing like that. I do have to go, but i appreciate your advice.

Sharon: Anytime. You know that.

Nick: I’ll see you two later.

Mariah: Yeah, good night.

Nick: ‘Night.

Sharon: So what are you doing here? I mean, of course I’m happy to see you, but are you — are you okay?

Mariah: Yeah. Yeah, sure, I’m fine.

[ Chuckles ]

Sharon: Oh, well, I thought you’d be at chance’s party.

Mariah: Oh, my gosh, was that toni– you know what? It totally slipped my mind.

Sharon: Yeah, ’cause you’ve probably been pretty busy, huh?

Mariah: Yeah, of course. I mean, I’m slammed.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. I didn’t forget about chance’s party. I’ve actually spent the last two hours trying to talk myself into going.

Victor: Jill.

Jill: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: It’s a nice party, isn’t it?

Jill: Yes, it is. Hardly the time or place to make a move on chanccomm, though.

Victor: Ohh. I come in peace, you know? So nice to see you.

Jill: Thank you.

Victor: And I simply wanted to wish you all the best in your retirement.

Jill: Victor, I’ll be as “retired” as you are. I’m staying on in an advisory capacity.

Victor: That’s a wise move.

Jill: Mm.

Victor: Very wise move. Interesting how you nominated lily as your successor.

Jill: Well, she wouldn’t be the first person to run a company without any business-school training. Look at you and me. We’ve done okay, right? Ah. I’ll drink to that.

[ Chuckles ]

Victor: I got to tell you, always respected you for honoring katherine’s legacy. She would be proud.

Jill: Thank you. Would she be proud of you that you sold me chancellor all those years ago?

Victor: Well, yes, probably would. Now, let me give you a little piece of advice.

Jill: Mm-hmm.

Victor: Keep billy boy away from the reins of running that company. If you do that, chancellor will do very well. It’ll prosper.

Jill: Lucky me, you approve.

Victor: Cheers.

Chance: You know, it’s a shame mariah couldn’t make it. I owe her so much. I wonder what she’s doing.

Devon: You know, I heard she had some work to take care of. I’m sure you’ll see her soon.

Chance: Oh.

Abby: Hey.

Chance: Look who I found.

Abby: There you are. Ah. Hi. Thank you so much for coming.

Devon: Yeah, of course.

Abby: Where’s amanda?

Devon: Amanda, she is with imani. It’s her sister.

Chance: You’re kidding?

Devon: No, it’s a long story I got to catch you up on.

Chance: Wow, I did miss a lot, huh?

Devon: Yeah. Yeah, they’re both negotiating a lease for the new law practice they’re opening together.

Abby: Well, I hope she can stop by at least a little bit later. I mean, I would love to thank her for playing such a big part in dominic’s little world.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Victoria: Jill. It’s a wonderful night, isn’t it?

Jill: Yeah, it sure is. So glad to have chance back. So, what’s on your mind, honey? Out with it.

Victoria: Well, I don’t suppose you’ve had many offers to buy chanccomm yet.

Jill: Well, why would that be important if you’re interested?

Victoria: You know that I am.

Jill: Mm-hmm.

Victoria: Newman/locke is willing to pay whatever it takes.

Jill: I’m sure you are.

Victoria: Not to mention, selling to us will help chanccomm save face.

Jill: How so?

Victoria: Well, you know that chancellor has many outlets that are actually newman properties, so selling to us will show the public that it’s more of a balancing of the scales instead of a total failure on chancellor’s part. Not to mention I think it’s gonna help billy.

Jill: [ Laughs ] Wait, this I got to hear.

Victoria: I think that it would be very beneficial for him not to lose to adam again.

Jill: Yeah. Well, we’ll see how it all plays out. But in the meantime, I find it absolutely fascinating you’re so interested in helping billy when you were part of the plan to bring him down. We were alone when my husband had the heart attack.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Nikki: Have you heard from your brother?

Victoria: Uh, at this point, I doubt he’ll show up.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] I was hoping he would at least make an appearance for his little sister.

Victoria: Well, I’m sure that nicholas will make it up to them in a dad-free venue.

Ashley: Well, hello. How did you enjoy your long-distance thanksgiving feast with my brother? Did you like it?

Phyllis: Uh, yeah, I did. It was a nice distraction.

Ashley: Oh, really?

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. Yeah. We were really busy here on thanksgiving. And then I had a dream, and you were in it.

Ashley: [ Laughs ] Well, I’m sure your subconscious had me sporting a pitchfork and horns.

Phyllis: No, you’re not that obvious.

Ashley: Okay, well, then let’s just forget the subtleties. How large of a role did my brother have in your dream?

Phyllis: Well, he was in it, but we weren’t together, if that’s what you’re wondering. And you should know, there are way worse fates for your brother than me in his future. Trust me.

Ashland: I saw your tte–tte with jill. What did you learn on your reconnaissance mission?

Victoria: I learned that jill loves the game as much as my father does. Which means we have to up ours.

Ashland: I’m ready. Let’s play.

Phyllis: So, chance, when do we get to hear all the details about your top-secret mission in spain?

Chance: [ Chuckles ] I should probably make a speech now, right? Think you can help me grab everyone’s attention?

Phyllis: Yeah, sure, I’ll do that. Hey, everyone, the guest of honor wants to make a speech.

Chance: [ Clears throat ] Thank you. Thank you, everyone, for coming out tonight. It’s really good to see everyone. And thank you to my in-laws for putting this whole thing together. I mean, it’s more than i deserve, really. I feel truly blessed, truly blessed that I get to come home to my friends and to my family. Most importantly abby and our new baby boy. And I just want to mention the courageous people that were on my team. You know, we weren’t just working together. We were family. And they laid down their lives. They’re the real heroes tonight, and they shouldn’t be forgotten. So if everyone could just raise a glass in their memory, please.

Jill: Aww.

Ashley: To those heroes.

Devon: Absolutely.

Chance: [ Clears throat ] You know, this is hardly the first time that I’ve been gone. And in fact, I’ve probably spent more time away than I have here in genoa city. But every time I come back here, I’m really glad that I get to call this place my home. And now that I’m a husband to the most loving woman that i have ever met and a father to the most adorable baby boy in the whole wide world, well, i can promise you one thing, I am not going anywhere else without them again.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Chance: So whether you like it or not, you folks are stuck with me.

Abby: Yeah!

Chance: Sorry.

Ashley: Good.

Jill: Good. Yeah, I’ll drink to that.

Ashland: Cheers.

Chance: Thank you.

Abby: That was beautiful.

Chance: Thank you, thank you. Hey, um…can we get out of here? Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

Abby: Uh…thank you so much for this evening. It really was wonderful, but we need to get home to dominic.

Nikki: Oh.

Victor: Chance, we’ll have many more occasions to celebrate.

Chance: Yes, sir.

Nikki: I can’t imagine how tired you must be, but it was good of you to allow us to welcome you back.

Chance: Well, it is great to be back. Thank you.

Ashley: I’ll see you two very soon.

Abby: I love you.

Ashley: I love you.

Abby: Thank you so much.

[ Indistinct speaking ] I love you. Thank you so much.

Sharon: So why don’t you want to go to chance’s party?

Mariah: Oh, I couldn’t be happier that chance is alive. But abby’s got her husband and bowie’s got a dad. It’s a gift.

Sharon: But?

Mariah: The party is for family. It’s for close family.

Sharon: Well, you are family. I mean, as far as chance and abby are concerned.

Mariah: Mm, no, my connection to abby and chance is all because I carried their baby boy. I mean, I think if I went, it would be…weird.

Sharon: I think you’re making it more complicated than it is. You know, it’s — tonight is about chance.

Mariah: I’m not even sure he knows how attached I got to his son.

Sharon: Well, I’m sure he’d understand, and I know he’s grateful for everything you’ve done for them.

Mariah: Yeah, that’ll be a really fun conversation. “Hey, I’m so happy that you didn’t die” and “oh, hey, thanks for keeping my baby safe while you were kidnapped.” It’s gonna be great.

Sharon: I’m not saying it’s not gonna be a little awkward at first, but once you get past that, it could be a positive experience. And you and chance can celebrate that you’re both getting past your ordeals.

Mariah: Oh, come on, not even you can be that optimistic.

Sharon: You know, before you got here, I was trying to convince nick to go to the same party, and I’m not sure i succeeded.

Mariah: So are you trying to say I should feel obligated to go so there are enough guests?

Sharon: No, I was just thinking more along the lines that, you know, it would be nice if one person took my advice.

Mariah: It just — it doesn’t feel right. Chance’s welcome-back party, it should be happy and fun. This is chance’s moment to shine. I don’t want anything to take away from that. So I think it’s best if I just sit this one out.

Nick: Hey.

Devon: Hey, man, you’re late.

Nick: Yeah. Where’s the happy couple?

Devon: They ducked out already.

Nick: I guess chance wanted to get home to dominic.

Devon: Yeah, I’m sure he did.

Nick: Must be nice for you not having to rush home to a baby. I mean, getting a newborn up in the penthouse probably turned your life upside down.

Devon: Yeah, yeah. I know, it’s certainly a lot quieter. I’m gonna take off, though. See you around.

Nick: Yeah, I’ll see you.

Devon: Okay.

Nikki: Nicholas!

Nick: Mom.

Nikki: Oh, honey, I’m so glad you came.

Nick: You look beautiful.

Nikki: Thank you.

Nick: I guess I’m late. Devon told me chance and abby already took off.

Nikki: Oh, he was exhausted, so abby took him home. But please stay. Have a drink.

Nick: You know, I have — I got some stuff I got to do.

Nikki: What? But you just got here.

Nick: Yeah, I know. I’ll talk to you tomorrow, though, okay? I love you.

Nikki: Okay, I love you.

Jack: Good seeing you tonight.

Phyllis: Good seeing you. Are you leaving?

Jack: It was a great party.

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ] Thanks. Any party that doesn’t end in a disaster is a great party. I’m not gonna take credit, though.

Jack: Oh, I think you deserve more credit than that. You have a way of making things special.

Chance: [ Exhales sharply ]

Abby: Am I hovering too much? Just tell me.

Chance: No, hover all you want, please.

Abby: Are you sure you’re okay?

Chance: I couldn’t be better.

Abby: The party wasn’t too much?

Chance: No. No, no, no, I’m just — just a little jet-lagged, you know? I had a great time.

Abby: Promise?

Chance: Yeah. That ashland locke guy, though, he was quite the character.

Abby: Oh, I’m just happy that victoria finally found her perfect match.

Chance: What happened to nick? I was kind of looking forward to seeing him.

Abby: Well, I think nick and phyllis broke up, so maybe he felt uncomfortable coming to the hotel.

Chance: Well, that’s too bad. Thought they were pretty solid.

Abby: Yeah. Not everyone is as lucky as we are. Love brought us back together and love brought everyone to that party.

Chance: Yeah, I felt it. It really reminded me that this is home.

Abby: I’m glad to hear that.

Chance: You know, I meant what I said. I will never, ever put you through hell like that again. I promise. Okay, nothing is more important to me than being your husband and being dom’s father, okay?

Abby: I love you so much.

Chance: I love you.

Feeling sluggish or weighed

down?

Phyllis: So you’re leaving so soon. You should stick around and have a drink. I mean, we didn’t even get to talk.

Jack: Great as that invitation is, I’m afraid I have to pass.

Phyllis: Oh. You have jet lag?

Jack: I don’t even know what time zone this is. It’s been a long night.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Jack: We’ll talk soon.

Phyllis: Yeah, definitely. Of course. For sure. Right.

Jack: Sweet dreams.

Phyllis: Sweet dreams to you. Have a good evening.

Ashley: Thank you.

Victor: Thank you.

Ashley: This was a fantastic idea. Congratulations. Very successful evening.

Nikki: Oh, well, thank you, ashley.

Ashley: Yeah. I do have to say, though, I’m a little worried about chance. I’ve been focusing my attention on abby and how she’s doing, but I really think chance needs our attention.

Victor: Yeah. I was thinking along similar lines, you know? He survived the explosion, and no doubt that took a physical toll, but he seems psychologically fragile.

Ashley: Yes. Mm-hmm.

Nikki: The pressure he must have been under — going undercover, losing his team, and now being the only survivor.

Ashley: It’s a lot to handle. And now he’s dropped into civilian life. I’m sure he’s in shock.

Victor: I think we’d better keep an eye on him.

Ashley: Mm. Yeah.

Chance: Do you know how precious you are, huh? Yeah, you. You know, no one is ever gonna love you more than me and your mom ever. I love you a little bit more — just remember that. You changed my life, pal. You made me your dad.

Dominic: [ Coos ]

Chance: I know. Nothing is ever gonna be more important than you, I promise. It’s not a miracle that i survived. You’re the miracle, buddy.

Dominic: [ Crying ]

Chance: You’re the miracle, buddy. It’s okay. It’s okay.

Victor: Friends and family, we have a hero in our midst.

Abby: You’ve always been my hero and you always will be.

Ashland: Your bravery and sense of duty and honor are truly admirable.

Nikki: We are so proud of you. I know katherine would be, too.

Ashland: You’re a survivor, a hero, an inspiration to all of us.

Chance: Hi.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Romantic music]

Roman: You still not ready to say we’re a classic?

Kate: Well, I mean I can’t really speak for the whole relationship, but as for tonight, I think it’s one for the books.

Roman: I am glad to hear that.

Kate: Really? How glad?

Roman: Very glad. Very glad.

Rex: Well, aren’t you two just full of surprises?

Gwen: Xander?

[Sighs] Okay, rizczech. That’s good. It’s good. You–you have a minute to pull yourself together. Oh, god. Please tell me they restocked that bloody fridge. Yes.

[Sighs]

[Exhales shakily] Okay. Focus, gwen. You just helped a convicted felon and absolute, complete sociopath just escape from a prison van.

[Exhales shakily] But it wasn’t your fault. You didn’t have a choice, because if xander found out that his beloved sarah wasn’t healing the sick and she wasn’t having a romp with her ex, well, he would’ve– he would’ve dumped you in a minute to go island-hopping to go and find her. Kristen is the only one who knew about that, and now she’s gone. So that means that there is no way that xander will find out.

Kate: Oh!

Rex: Mom, fabulous as ever.

Kate: Thank you. You look great.

Rex: Thank you. Dude, you pulled out all of the stops here.

Roman: Rex, it’s so good to see you.

Rex: No, I’m serious. You have champagne, and roses, and what is this? What do you got going on here? Is this crme brlée? What, no gypsy violinist?

Roman: They were booked, but I did miss your subtle wit and your wry observations.

Rex: Well, I missed you guys too, and, hey, I really am sorry to barge in like this. I saw the sign out front. I thought a private party was going on, like a knights of columbus-type thing. I had no idea that you were running a full-court press in here.

Kate: Okay. Just leave him alone, okay? He has the heart of a poet and a romantic, unlike you.

Rex: No, no. I–

Kate: Don’t mock him.

Rex: I am seriously, genuinely impressed. And happy. I mean, after all these years, you finally won her back.

Gabi: What else do we have to offer, jake?

Jake: Well, there’s always gabi chic.

Gabi: Oh, right. Gabi chic.

Victor: You offer me your fashion brand in return for my whole company?

Gabi: Scoff all you want, but you know, when I was working for you, it was the most profitable asset that titan had. And why else would philip want to blackmail me out of it?

Jake: You know she’s right.

Gabi: Any conglomerate would be lucky to have my brand under its umbrella. It’s fresh, forward-thinking, everything that titan industries hasn’t been for a very long time. If you make us your ceos, gabi chic is yours. And everything I have done for that brand, I will do for titan. Victor, what are you saying? Are we in?

[Elevator chimes]

Shawn: Hey.

Chloe: Hey.

Shawn: How’s brady doing?

Chloe: Kayla’s with him right now, but I think he’s gonna be fine.

Shawn: Okay. I’m glad to hear that. Do you mind if I talk to you?

Chloe: You want to talk to me or ask me questions?

Shawn: Oh, well, maybe it’s a little bit of both. So john called. He called me, asking if we found marlena.

Chloe: Have you?

Shawn: No, no, no. Not yet. Anyway, so he was worried. He was worried because brady was here at the hospital with him, and he left. He left to go get takeout.

Chloe: And then he didn’t come back.

Shawn: Right, right. And he wasn’t answering any of john’s calls. And then, we got the call that he was on his way here in an ambulance, so I went out to check out the crime scene. And, hey, I’m gonna show you something, okay? It might be, you know, a little disturbing.

Chloe: Okay.

Shawn: All right, so I went to the riverbank where you found brady, and I found this. It’s a knife. Marlena, or whatever it is that’s taken over her’s weapon of choice. I think that john is onto something, and I think that marlena might be relate to it all.

Chloe: I’m sorry, shawn. No, I don’t think she has anything to do with this.

Gabi: So we bring gabi chic back to titan, and it will once again be your most profitable division.

Jake: And, in turn, you make us both co-ceos.

Victor: Sounds very tempting. Lots of positives there.

Gabi: Absolutely.

Victor: And only a few negatives that I can think of.

Jake: And what are they? We’ll take care of ’em.

Victor: Well, I think that you’re both idiots.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Rex: Well, look, I am really sorry for being so out of touch. Things over there were just really intense.

Roman: Yeah, I know. Been reading about it.

Rex: Now that I’m home, I don’t want to talk about me. So what’s happening here? How long has this been going on?

Roman: Not long. But by the way, you’re the only one who knows this, so keep it to yourself, okay?

Rex: Are you, like, embarrassed or something?

Roman: No. Not at all.

Kate: Oh, no. No, we’re not hiding it. We just don’t really want to announce it until christmas.

Rex: Well, like me, I’m sure everyone’s gonna be so happy for you, especially since the fiasco with–

[Laughter]

Kate: Really? Because you can say his name. You mean when jake dumped me for gabi?

Rex: Whoa, whoa, whoa. He dumped you?

Roman: Yeah, yeah. It’s kind of like barney fife dumping nicole kidman.

Rex: Yeah, it’s a weird simile. It’s accurate, but weird.

Kate: Oh, it’s so nice to have my guys on my side.

Rex: Well, mom, let me be the first to say that you have traded up with dad here, and he deserves gabi. Think about it. Every guy that’s ever hooked up with her, it hasn’t ended so well for them.

Gabi: You know the gabi chic numbers. They’re through the roof. I don’t think an idiot could do that.

Victor: How long have you two been here groveling? Seems like it’s been days.

Gabi: We’re not groveling.

Victor: So if you’ve been paying any attention at all, you know how I feel about you. And you offer me gabi chic. That’s the big plum. Only an idiot would offer victor kiriakis chump change like that.

Jake: What about dimera enterprises?

Abigail: Is it okay to talk to you now?

Chad: I think so.

Abigail: Did you have a tough day at work?

Chad: Yeah, you could say that.

Abigail: Is that why you didn’t return any of my calls?

Chad: I’m sorry. I just–I was in back-to-back meetings all day, and when I finally got around to checking my phone, I had six messages from you.

Abigail: Seven, but who’s counting?

Chad: I just thought I’d come home and talk to you in person. Was it urgent?

Abigail: No, it’s not urgent. It’s just kind of a family matter.

Chad: Are the kids okay?

Abigail: It’s not our family. It’s yours.

Chad: How could it possibly be my family? My family’s either still at the office or in prison.

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

Chad: Kristen didn’T. Kristen–she couldn’t have.

Abigail: She escaped.

Chad: [Sighs] Well, that– that sure shakes your faith in the salem pd, don’t it?

[Door unlocks]

[Door opens]

Gwen: Oh, thank god. I was just about to go down to the police station.

Xander: What are you so worked up about?

Gwen: Well, you, of course. That bloody police commissioner, he just took you in. It was as if– it was as if he were sure that you were the one who helped kristen escape.

Xander: Yeah, he was sure, and he was wrong. If you’re with me, you’re gonna have to get used to seeing the cops haul me in. I’m all of their usual suspects rolled up into one guy.

Gwen: That’s not very fair, is it?

Xander: Well, life’s not fair. You just have to look at it their way. I mean, I was at kristen’s beck and call for a long time, and I was in the interrogation room right before they hauled her down to the van. Of course rafe thought I helped her. And come to think of it, I’m one of the few people left that would help kristen. I mean, she couldn’t have pulled this off by herself. She had to have help. And now, I mean everyone in the whole city hates her guts. Wonder who the hell did help her?

Shawn: But like I said, marlena or whoever she is now, she had a knife. John and susan, they both saw it.

Chloe: I don’t think that this has to do with marlena, or the devil, or whatever.

Shawn: Why not?

Chloe: Because I saw that knife on the ground next to brady.

Shawn: But you didn’t pick it up, did you?

Chloe: No. I didn’t touch it, but–

Shawn: Okay, good.

Chloe: Brady was just covered in all this blood, and I assumed it was his, but then kayla examined him, and–

Shawn: Wait, kayla– kayla examined him? What did she say?

Chloe: She said he doesn’t have any stab wounds. He just has a bump on his head. She also said that the blood doesn’t belong to him.

Shawn: Do you know whose it is?

Chloe: No, I don’T. But I think it could be philip’S. Why give your family just ordinary eggs

Victor: So you’re gonna offer dimera enterprises? That cinches the deal.

Jake: Well, you know we can’t just do that.

Victor: Why not? You do own it, don’t you? I mean you wouldn’t give me something that doesn’t belong to you. That’d be like saying, “well, let’s give him puerto rico or eternal life.” You know what they call people who can’t deliver? Idiots.

Jake: Okay. I may not own dimera, but I know how I can get it.

Victor: You don’t know squat. You couldn’t get the votes to keep it when you had it, and you’re sure as hell are not gonna pry it from ej dimera now that he’s in charge. No. He knows what he’s doing. Now, isn’t it time for you two to leave?

Chloe: I see the blood that was on brady was o positive.

Shawn: And you know philip’s blood type?

Chloe: Yeah. Remember that blood drive that I organized in high school? It was the one where mimi said, “ghoul girl’s gonna drink all the donations.”

Shawn: Oh, yeah, she’s always been such a fun gal.

Chloe: Yeah, well, philip stood up for me, and he was the first person to donate blood. And because, you know, all the kids in school wanted to do whatever philip did, it ended up being a great success, so yeah, I remember his blood type. O positive.

Shawn: Yeah, but o positive is the most common type, so what makes you think that the blood that was on brady belonged to philip?

Chloe: Well, I don’t know, but philip and I went down to the riverbank to check on our tree. We planted a new one there recently.

Shawn: Yeah, belle told me about that.

Chloe: Yeah, except when we got there, someone had ripped the tree out of the ground.

Shawn: Do you know who did it?

Chloe: No, but philip was pretty insistent that brady had done it, and he was furious about it.

Shawn: Yeah. Yeah, belle told me that the two of them are pretty intense right now.

Chloe: Yeah. It has to do with me. But I made it very clear that I’m with philip now. A lot of good that did.

Rex: A toast to you guys. I hope you have a hell of a lot of fun. God knows you deserve it.

Roman: I think we will have a lot of fun. I’ve been pricing rvs. I think your mom and i are gonna tour all the national and state parks.

Rex: There’s really good trout fishing out west.

Roman: Yeah, I’ll catch ’em. You gut and clean ’em while I build the fire.

Rex: [Laughs] You know, I’m gonna get you some waders as a going-away present.

Roman: Thank you.

Kate: Oh, my god. You guys are just hysterical. Really? Really? Because what I was thinking is hotel crillon. We can have a suite overlooking the place de concorde.

Rex: Oh, of course.

Kate: I mean, you two can go fishing in the seine, though, if you’d like, but sarah and I? We’re going shopping.

Rex: Sarah?

Kate: Oh, yeah; I mean, I assume she came back with you. Is she over visiting her mom?

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

Xander: You know what I was thinking? Like I said, one of the reasons hernandez drove me downtown in the first place was because I was in the interrogation room talking to kristen right before they took her down into the van.

Gwen: [Sighs] Well, that’s a flimsy reason, isn’t it?

Xander: I know, but that’s when you showed up too, right?

Gwen: Xander, I told you that’s because I saw your car outside. I thought that perhaps you were in trouble.

Xander: Hmm, it’s pretty suspicious timing, though. You could have been slipping kristen secret messages or a shiv in a tuna sandwich.

Gwen: Could we just stop talking about kristen dimera now, please?

Xander: Oh, sorry. I just thought it was funny. I mean, why would you help her? You don’t even know her, do you?

Gwen: No, of course not.

[Clears throat] You know what? Are you hungry? We can go to julie’s place for dinner maybe.

Xander: Eh, julie’s place. Maybe we shouldn’t go somewhere where we might be tempted to skip out on the check. Although, when I suggested that before, only I was tempted. You said we shouldn’t be committing any more crimes.

Gwen: And I meant it. What–what are you thinking?

Xander: Oh, I’m just wondering. Has the bad girl I fell for gone good?

Gwen: I thought you liked good girls.

Xander: Well, are we talking about you, or sarah?

Chad: I wonder how many people across salem see “the spectator” headline “kristen dimera escapes” and wonder if they’ve gone back in time?

Abigail: I feel bad for the reporter. It’s getting kinda hard to put a fresh spin on that.

Chad: You know what’s weird?

Abigail: [Chuckles] Everything about your family?

Chad: The last time I saw kristen, she–she actually seemed defeated, like she knew there wasn’t a way out. Or do you think she was conning me? You think there was some– already some kind of plan, or do you think that she just improvised this whole thing in the van?

Abigail: I think there had to have been some kind of a plan. I mean, I don’t see how she could have pulled it off alone. But then, after everything that she’s done, I don’t know who in their right mind would have been willing to help her.

(Upbeat music)

Chloe: So when I ran into brady at the pub, he said he was picking up takeout for his dad.

Shawn: Yeah, that’s what john told me.

Chloe: Yeah, and I figured he’d be going back to the hospital after that. And so, when philip said he thought brady pulled the tree out, I went to the hospital to ask him about it. And john said he never came back here with any food, so maybe philip was right?

Shawn: Okay, so when you saw brady, did he say anything about philip? Did he seem upset?

Chloe: He did talk about philip, but he didn’t seem angry. In fact, he was kind of gloating because victor had fired philip again. Oh, maybe that’s what he was celebrating.

Shawn: I’m sorry, “celebrating”?

Chloe: Yeah, I don’t know, but apparently kayla said that brady’s blood alcohol level was, like, three times the legal limit, so he must have ordered more than just clam chowder.

Shawn: And when you talked to brady, it was on his way into the pub, so did he seem sober then?

Chloe: Yeah. I mean, I guess he could have started drinking, but he did not seem drunk to me.

Shawn: And the next time you saw him–

Chloe: He was lying unconscious, covered in blood.

Shawn: Do you know where philip is?

Chloe: No. I have no idea.

Chad: It seems to me that ej would be the most likely person to have helped kristen escape.

Abigail: Well, he’s such a devoted brother.

Chad: Oh, yeah.

Abigail: Mm-hmm.

Chad: But ej was at the office all day, and he didn’t seem preoccupied or anything. He was focused on being an obstructionist ass, per usual.

Abigail: Well, our sources at the station house did tell us that xander cook was brought in for questioning, but then he was released.

Chad: Hmm, you know what? I don’t really actually care who helped her or why they did it. Honestly, I wish her well and I hope she learned her lesson and stays the hell away from salem.

Abigail: She’s gonna come back. She always comes back.

Chad: More importantly, how was your day? What about you? You know your lines here?

Abigail: Yeah, but I don’t know. It kind of seems like maybe it’s a waste of time. I mean, johnny’s in italy and there’s an apb out on marlena, so perhaps “possessed: The marlena evans story” is in turnaround.

Chad: Or development hell.

Abigail: [Snorts] Yeah. No pun intended, right?

Chad: Look, I’m sorry, baby. I know–I know how much you were looking forward to it.

Abigail: You disappointed I’m not gonna have love scenes with ej, huh?

Chad: No problem. I have plenty of reasons to hate ej’s guts.

Gabi: Victor, that’s titan’s stock at the closing bell. I think that number reflects the perception that titan is a corporate dinosaur run by a capricious old man who just fired yet another inept relative that he had installed as ceo. I’d say–I’d say that you have a sinking ship here, and also that insulting anybody that comes to you with a company that actually makes money is idiotic.

Jake: And I didn’t offer you puerto rico. I didn’t offer you eternal life. I offered you dimera enterprises because we can deliver. Now, ej may know what he’s doing, but he’s got the entire family at each other’s throats.

Gabi: House divided. Ready to collapse.

Jake: Right. Now, gabi and I still have enough shares to call a meeting, so how about this? Let’s put it on a timetable. If you’re not board member by such-and-such a date, no deal, but don’t just flat-out turn us down. Vic. Vic, don’t be an idiot.

Rex: Why would sarah be with me?

Kate: Honey, why wouldn’t she be? You left together.

Rex: No. No, we didn’T.

[Gasps] Okay, that’s one of the reasons why I didn’t call. I was kind of embarrassed. I was hoping maggie would tell you and then we could just pretend the whole thing never happened.

Roman: What never happened?

Rex: At the last possible second, before sarah and i were supposed to be leaving town together, she got cold feet. Said she didn’t want to be in a relationship with anyone and she needed to find herself.

Kate: [Groans] Well, I hope she finds herself in outer mongolia.

Rex: I thought you gave us your blessing?

Kate: I gave you my blessing because I couldn’t do anything about it, okay? But bless her self-absorption. I am just thrilled that you’re finally through with that ridiculous woman.

Rex: Could you please not talk about her that way?

Kate: What? What? Really? Seriously? I can’t be upset when she screws you over like that?

Roman: Yeah, and I don’t get it, all right? If she didn’t go with you, where in the hell did she go?

Rex: I have no idea.

Gwen: Sorry, I– I didn’t mean to bring up sarah.

Xander: Well, you just heard me talking to kristen about her and trying to work out why she left me, left town. I’d understand if you were a little jealous.

Gwen: Jealous? I’m not jealous. Just a bit protective, that’s all, ’cause I know how much she hurt you.

Xander: Hey, you were right when you said that sarah was my past. You’re my present, and hopefully, my future. I don’t give a damn why sarah left me for rex. That’s her loss.

Gwen: And my gain.

[Tense music]

I didn’t have a choice, because if xander found out that his beloved sarah wasn’t healing the sick and she wasn’t having a romp with her ex, well, he would’ve– he would’ve dumped you in a minute to go island-hopping to go and find her. Hello?

Rex: I tried calling sarah a few times, but cell reception in myanmar is not reliable. I just figured if she wanted to find me, she would have.

Roman: Okay. Again, I don’t get it. This is strange, okay? It’s not just us, rex. I think all of salem believes you two were together.

Kate: I know xander does.

Rex: But sarah would have told xander, wouldn’t she?

Kate: No, I guess not. What a lovely, thoughtful woman you had in sarah.

Rex: Yeah, but it would be a lot easier on xander if he knew, wouldn’t it?

Kate: Well, apparently he’s moved on with jack devereaux’s long-lost daughter who’s quite a prize herself. She has daddy issues and is deeply neurotic about it and as amusing as a canker sore, actually.

Rex: Judging again. How unlike you.

Rex: Oh, what? No. I’m just saying it’s a match made in heaven.

Xander: [Sighs] Bistro’s full.

Gwen: Really? How about the pub then?

Xander: Whatever. I’m starving. Come on. Let’s go.

Gwen: Hang on. What’s this on your arm here?

Xander: [Sighs] When I was leaving the police station, some clumsy cop bumped into me with a pizza. I like this shirt, and it’s gonna stain.

Gwen: Dear. Oh, dear. Okay. Well, look. Why don’t you put it in the sink, and I’ll wash it when we get back, yeah?

Xander: Mmm. How domestic of you.

Gwen: You’d like that. Me being a happy, little homemaker. I’ll go get us a table.

Xander: Gwen?

Gwen: Hmm?

Xander: Look, I’m glad I talked to kristen. Don’t know what I was expecting to find out, but it’s like she closed a door on the past for me. I don’t care why sarah went with rex or where they went. You’re here. Sarah could be on the moon for all I care. I just wanted to tell you that.

Gwen: [Sighs]

Chad: So he waits until the entire board is in session–

Abigail: Oh, ej?

Chad: Right, and just when we’re about to wrap up–and mind you, I have been working on this deal for months– and then, out of the blue, ej starts demanding a slew of poison pill clauses.

Abigail: Without even talking to you about it?

Chad: I mean, the first time I heard of it was in front of the entire board and shin, who was obviously ej’s targeted audience.

Abigail: Ugh. Did you and ej fight?

Chad: No, because shin called in security to separate us to neutral corners before we could.

Abigail: Well, that seems like an overreaction.

Chad: Not really; I think it was pretty clear that if there wasn’t some sort of intervention, that I was gonna smash ej’s smug sneer right down his throat.

Victor: Is this where i tell you that you have spunk?

Gabi: No. This is where you tell us that you’ll at least think about it.

Jake: You know what, vic? You’re right. Ej? He’s very smart, very shrewd, but it’s also true that people loathe him. Chad. Tony. Hell, even his own son would jump at the opportunity to stab him in the back. Hell, I would.

Victor: It would be fun to watch stefano’s family self-destruct.

Gabi: Yes, yes, but you need to be thinking about titan. I mean, you’ve given all of your family members every opportunity to preserve titan’s legacy. It is time for new blood, especially now that you’ve given philip the axe.

Shawn: All right, so it is possible that brady went on his bender, he went to the tree, he had a confrontation with philip, and he stabbed him.

Chloe: I–I mean, I guess it could be possible, but shawn, I just don’t see brady doing that, even drunk. Why would he attack philip with a knife?

Shawn: I’m just trying to put together the facts here, all right? So you said you don’t know where philip is, okay, but I’m sure–I mean, you tried calling him, right?

Chloe: Yes, I did call him, and his phone rang in brady’s coat pocket.

Shawn: Okay. Well, here’s your missed call 30 minutes ago. I mean, the rest of these calls, they all look pretty ordinary, and…

Chloe: What is it?

Shawn: Well, earlier tonight, philip got a series of threatening texts, and they’re from brady.

Chloe: The texts? What do they say?

Shawn: Well, they keep getting more and more threatening, and I mean, this last one right here–this is the worst.

Chloe: Let me see. “Philip, you don’t deserve to be with chloe. If you don’t cut yourself out of her life, I’ll have no choice but to cut you out of it myself.”

Abigail: Now, I know I don’t have to tell you to be careful with ej.

Chad: I know better than to turn my back on him. I’d wind up with a knife in it.

Abigail: What happened with the deal you were trying to close?

Chad: I closed it.

Abigail: Mm-hmm. That’s good.

Chad: Yeah.

Abigail: So if he was trying to sabotage it, it didn’t work?

Chad: No, the deal was good for the company, and the company is ej’s religion. I don’t think he really wanted to sabotage it; he just wanted to make me look bad, unprepared. But despite headquarters being an absolute warzone, the company’s set to have the best year yet. And titan took a big hit when victor fired philip, so now the only threat to dimera is whether or not I can work with ej without killing him.

Jake: We have the advantage. Chad. Ej. They won’t even see this coming.

Gabi: And you don’t have to risk anything. All you have to do is sit back and watch us make it happen for you.

Victor: However, this is all talk. You put things in place to give me a seat on the dimera board of directors, and we’ll finish this conversation.

Gabi: We will do that. And before you know it, the three of us are gonna be running titan and dimera enterprises. Come on, jake. We got work to do.

Victor: Keep me posted.

[Tense music]

They come in here ready to give me gabi chic, and they go out determined to give me a seat on the dimera board of directors. Like fish in a barrel.

[Imitates gunfire]

[Chuckles]

Roman: Well, all I can say is we are glad to have you back.

Kate: Mm-hmm. Without the tiresome sarah.

Roman: To you, rex.

Kate: To rex.

Rex: Thanks.

Jake: [Exhales sharply] You know, for the life of me, I will never understand why you have to practically strangle yourself to do business.

Gabi: You look very distinguished.

Jake: I felt like a quack.

Gabi: Well, you didn’t come off as one, all right? Today, the way you handled victor, it was as if you spent your entire life in corner offices and boardrooms.

Jake: Oh, yeah? Well, I learned everything by watching you.

Gabi: Hey, listen. Yeah, before we get to that, we need to talk first.

Jake: We do?

Gabi: Yes. We’ve laughed about it, we’ve joked about it, but now that we’re gonna make it happen, we really need to decide who is gonna be ceo of titan.

Jake: We gotta discuss that now?

Gabi: Yeah. Well, I don’t really think it’s gonna take too long; I’ve been thinking about it, and I think we should just split things 50/50. You know, just co-ceos.

Jake: Like hell we will be.

Shawn: So victor fired philip as ceo of titan. All right, do you know if brady was next in line to take the job?

Chloe: No. Brady is happy at basic black, and I don’t think that they ever really fought about the business stuff. It was always personal, about me.

Shawn: Yeah, well, I just think it’s safe to say that philip didn’t see these texts until after you were gone.

Chloe: It looks really bad.

Shawn: Yeah. Well, let’s go see what brady has to say.

Chloe: I don’t know that he’s in any shape to answer questions right now.

Shawn: Okay. All right. Well, I’m gonna go call one of the officers on the scene. I’m gonna see if there’s anything new.

Chloe: Okay, I’m gonna call victor and see if he’s heard anything.

Shawn: Okay, okay.

[Cell phone beeps]

[Line trilling]

[Cell phone rings]

[Cell phone beeps]

Victor: What the hell do you want?

Chloe: Hi, victor. I’m just calling to ask if you have heard anything from philip or seen him tonight.

Victor: No, and after the last stunt he pulled with ava vitali, he’s as good as dead to me.

[Cell phone beeps]

Gwen: Hi, hi, hi.

[Chuckles]

Xander: So are you ready for an above-average dinner?

Gwen: [Chuckles] Serena: It’s my 3:10

Roman: All right, so how long you gonna stay?

Rex: I’m not sure yet.

Kate: Well, there are gonna be a ton of people who are gonna be so thrilled to see you.

Gwen: We can’t go in there.

Xander: Why not?

Gwen: Because I don’t really like the look of the blokes in there. And do you know what? Darling, why should we have to settle for pub food? Why don’t we go to the bistro, have a decent meal at the bar, and perhaps even talk our way into getting a table?

Xander: Whatever my lady wants, my lady gets. The bistro it is.

Chad: You know, I am kinda tired, but I could take you out to dinner, if you want?

Abigail: Hmm. Hmm.

Chad: Hmm.

Abigail: I’m kinda tired too, so I think we should stay in. I don’t want to take the chance of running into someone we don’t want to see. Besides, I already spoke to the kitchen, and it’s gonna be ready in an hour.

Chad: Okay. So we have about an hour to kill.

Abigail: Yeah, we do. Do you think you could find the energy to close another deal?

Chad: What are your terms?

Abigail: My terms… for the rest of the night: No business, only pleasure.

Chad: Oh, okay. I can do that.

Jake: Uh-uh, see, we don’t have to share power. You know why? As soon as we take over both companies, you’ll run titan, I’ll run dimera.

Gabi: Oh, I like the sound of that.

Jake: Right? And we’ll work on it first thing in the morning, but in the meantime, why don’t we work on a little merger of our own?

Chloe: Victor hasn’t heard from him. What?

Shawn: Got more bad news. There was blood found by the knife. A trail of it. It led down to the water. I put the order in to have the river dragged, so from now on, I think we’re gonna have to start looking at this as a possible homicide. And unfortunately, brady’s our prime suspect.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Liam: We appreciate the offer to stay. We really do. It’s just that, you know, moving out is something we can both come to terms with.

Brooke: No, no, that’s not happening.

Ridge: I can’t have this guy on the property whenever he feels like it.

Brooke: Okay, okay. So, we’ll get creative. Hope and I will sit down. We’ll come up with a schedule. We can figure out times that deacon can come up over you-

Ridge: Oh, yeah, like a schedule.

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: Why are you not hearing me? I don’t want him here. If she wants to be with him, she needs to do it someplace else.

Brooke: Why are you not hearing me? Hope and liam aren’t leaving.

Hope: Well, ideally, I don’t want to move out, at the same time, I don’t want my father creating problems for you and ridge.

Sheila: You’re nuts if you think you have the tiniest bit of a chance with brooke.

Deacon: Man, I love when people underestimate me. You know, I wasn’t the only one in that relationship, and there were real feelings between me and brooke. Look what we created. We created this beautiful daughter who’s offering me a place in her life, and you know what? I’m taking it, and I’ll be damned if ridge forrester is going to dictate what goes on between me and my daughter. You know, he wants to bluster. He wants to throw around ultimatums, alienate brooke. I say, have at it. Self-sabotage. And old deacon will be right there waiting.

Thomas: Okay, uh, walk for me. Turn all the way, yep, yep, yep. Um, how does it feel?

Model: Light, airy, effortless.

Thomas: Good. Okay, come on back. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. You okay?

Model: I am now.

Thomas: Heh.

Steffy: Is this going to be a regular thing? I walk into my office and see someone flirting with my oblivious brother?

Steffy: Women have always fallen for my brother. I don’t quite get it, but hey, whatever.

Model: Sorry. I-

Steffy: No, it’s, it’s fine. Two consenting adults, go for it. And thomas deserves a little fun.

Model: Well, you have my number. Use it.

Finn: It’s just another day at the office. This is nice work if you can get it.

Steffy: I’m just glad my husband doesn’t have models throwing themselves at him every single day.

Finn: Oh, would you be jealous?

Steffy: No, because I know what we have and no one can touch it.

Thomas: Wow. So much confidence.

Steffy: There’s only one woman I want out of finn’s life.

Deacon: Wait, do you hear that? Silence. Is this the calm before the storm?

Sheila: You know, if you don’t like it, there’s the door.

Deacon: Oh, wait, what just happened there? Your personality flipped from amused at my expense to whatever we have here.

Sheila: It’s called a mother’s pain, deacon. You’ve made great strides with hope. So much so that you think that you might actually have a future with brooke.

Deacon: So?

Sheila: So, what about me? When is it my turn? When do I get to have a relationship with my son?

Hope: Mom, it really is okay. As much as, yes, it is a hassle, liam made me realize that it is probably the best solution for everyone.

Ridge: Listen to her, brooke.

Hope: And ridge doesn’t want deacon around, but I do want him to have a place in my life. So, while we loved being here, maybe we have overstayed our welcome.

Brooke: No. Ah, no. This isn’t up for debate. You’re not going anywhere. You’re staying right here. Is that clear? With age comes more…

Thomas: Look, I know it’s a shock to find out that jack’s your biological father. But, is there any part of you that’s maybe happy about it?

Finn: Uh, I don’t know, I’m, I’m still processing the way he hurt and betrayed my mom. And truth is, I don’t like jack finnegan very much right now. And I don’t know this version of him.

Thomas: I’m sorry, man, I mean, look, I know what it’s like for your whole world to blow up in your face.

Steffy: And it always will when sheila’s involved.

Sheila: That miserable creature. Steffy is just ruining everything for me. And finn, I mean, any chance I have at a true mother-son bond and- why is she doing this to me? I mean- why is she keeping me away from my son? What right does she have?

Deacon: Hello? She is finn’s wife. You know, wives try and tell their husbands what to do.

Sheila: Well, at least one of us can crack a bad joke.

Deacon: Hey. Hey, I’m sorry. Okay? I know how painful this is for you. I’m not trying to be obnoxious or, you know, take it lightly.

Sheila: Really? You really feel bad for me?

Deacon: Sure.

Sheila: Then help me, deacon.

Deacon: Sheila. What is it you think I can do?

Sheila: There’s gotta be something. You are – you’re close to the forresters.

Deacon: I’m close to the forresters? Most of them hate me!

Sheila: Closer than I am.

Deacon: Sheila, that’s not saying much. What is it that you think I can do to benefit you?

Sheila: Great minds. Great minds. Okay, maybe we can – we can convince steffy to let finn think for himself, make his own decisions because I know he wants me in his life. I know he wants me to know hayes. And I would if it weren’t for the guard dog keeping me from my own son. And, and why? What have I ever done to her?

Deacon: You mean besides shooting her mother?

Sheila: I never shot steffy.

Deacon: I know, people get so touchy when you try and target one of their family members for murder.

Sheila: You know what? Trust me, if I wanted taylor dead, she’d be dead.

Deacon: Okay, see? Right there. You say things like that. Crazy things that come out of your mouth. And then you wonder why no one invites you over for book club meetings.

Sheila: You know what? I didn’t know that I had to censor myself here in front of you, and you can’t take anything seriously that I’m saying. I’m upset!

Deacon: All right. All right. I get it. I get it, all right? Best advice: Stop pushing. Stop. Just let me get closer to brooke and hope.

Sheila: That didn’t take long, did it? You just can’t stop thinking about brooke, brooke, brooke!

Hope: You two have been terrific, the way you welcomed us into your home and the kids were able to take advantage of this beautiful property.

Brooke: Well, there’s no reason to change that. Ridge and I will work this out.

Hope: Well, ridge doesn’t want my dad around, and I do, and I don’t really see a way to resolve that.

Brooke: Okay, well. We’ll just find a way to compromise, right? But what we don’t do is kick somebody out the second there is a disagreement. We’re all family here. And I love that you guys have been here on the property. Watching beth and douglas grow and change every single day. And I am not going to let that blessing just go away because of all this conflict and dissent. So, what we need to do is work together on this. Okay? You guys aren’t leaving. You’re staying right here.

Steffy: I don’t mean to go off about sheila, it’s just-

Finn: No, honey, you don’t need to explain. I mean, the thought of sheila in our lives triggers memories of the awful things she’s done to your family in the past.

Steffy: Well, she doesn’t get a chance to do that again.

Finn: I get it.

Steffy: Gosh, there’s just so many women out there that could have been your birth mom, why did it have to be sheila carter?

Finn: I’m gonna need to get to work.

Steffy: Ah, we’re okay?

Finn: Always.

Steffy: What?

Thomas: I just hope that sheila isn’t creating friction in your marriage.

Steffy: I’m not going to give her the satisfaction.

Thomas: Well, good. You shouldn’T.

Steffy: What, did you sense something weird between finn and me?

Thomas: It would make sense for finn to be feeling a way about the situation, maybe an involuntary pull toward his mother.

Steffy: Yeah, things are complicated right now, but we’re working through it. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about dad and brooke.

Thomas: Deacon?

Steffy: Yeah.

Deacon: Okay, I think I’m going to get going.

Sheila: Am I boring you?

Deacon: Sheila, you are a lot of things, but boring ain’t one of them. Dangerous, now we’re talking.

Sheila: A little bit of danger can be exciting.

Deacon: Yeah, well, it can also wreck your life. Case in point, exhibit A. Been there. Done that. Got the t-shirt.

Sheila: Yeah. And you’ve been playing it safe ever since.

Deacon: Well, I don’t it if I’d say that.

Sheila: That’s because you can’T. I know you, deacon sharpe, and you are drawn to the dark side. Just like me. Here. You’re still hungry, why don’t you take a bite?

Deacon: You sound like a witch.

Sheila: Good witch or bad witch?

Deacon: Take a guess.

Sheila: Maybe a little bit of both. Because when I’m bad, I’m very good. I can make you forget all about brooke logan.

Deacon: I think now you’re giving yourself a little too much credit.

Sheila: Yeah, well, now who’s joking, huh? Because I wouldn’t take you on a bet.

Deacon: Hmm. Then how come you’re eyeing me like a plate of lamb chops?

Sheila: You mean looking at you the way brooke does in your dreams?

Ridge: You know, I’m not trying to be the bad guy here.

Liam: And neither am I. But brooke, you – I mean, you just said that you wanted to find a compromise. Right? Well, this, us moving out is the compromise.

Ridge: We’re protecting you.

Hope: Well, I don’t need protection from my own dad, and neither does my mom.

Ridge: I couldn’t disagree more.

Hope: Fine. And that is your right to feel that way. Just as it is my right to choose to have a relationship with my father and I get it. I get that I might open myself up to more of the same with deacon, that I might get hurt. But I happen to believe that he’s changed.

Ridge: Well, that’s fantastic, because that is exactly what he needs.

Hope: You don’t know him as well as I know.

Ridge: No, I know him better than you! I know what he’s capable of, especially now that he’s convinced you that he’s a changed man.

Brooke: Ridge, I know this isn’t what you want, but I can’t! I can’t throw my daughter and her family out of their own home. I can’t do it.

Hope: Mom, are you sure?

Brooke: Yes. Yes, I’m sure. Ridge and I will work this out as we always do. Right, ridge? But honey, you live here. You’re going to stay here right where you belong.

Hope: Thank you, mom.

Brooke: Yeah.

Hope: Thanks.

Brooke: Of course. Nyquil severe gives you powerful relief

Deacon: I know what brooke and I had.

Sheila: Mm, well, it must have been pretty special for her to betray her own daughter and to think that that’s the woman that looks down her nose at me. But you know what? If I squint really hard, I can see what it was that made brooke fall from grace. I mean, you’re sexy in a sleazy sort of way. And that’s coming from a woman that needs her eyes examined.

Deacon: Yeah, you’re such a sweet talker.

Sheila: It’s not going to work on her anymore.

Deacon: You know what? Never say never. You know, with ridge acting out, threatening to throw hope off the property. I’m telling you what, that’s not going to go well. And brooke is warming up to me, gradually, but she is warming up to me, and that is going to drive ridge insane.

Sheila: Well, you may have caused a little bump in the road for brooke and ridge, but still a long ways from her being mrs. Deacon sharpe.

Brooke: Is everything okay with liam? He left here pretty quickly.

Hope: Yeah, he’s just meeting up with bill.

Brooke: How badly is this deacon situation coming between you?

Hope: Well uh he’s not happy that I’m letting my dad in and he feels the same as ridge, that he can’t be trusted and he shouldn’t be around the kids.

Brooke: How do you feel about that?

Hope: That is an overreaction, because I know my father would never hurt our kids. But, you know, one step at a time. Right now we’re just working on him being okay with my decision, something that, unfortunately, ridge does not seem to be able to do. I’m, I’m so sorry.

Brooke: Honey, I don’t want you worrying about ridge and me.

Hope: Um, how can I not? Because he just slammed out of here.

Brooke: Yeah, I wish he didn’t do that. But you know, he’ll come back and we’ll work through the tension. Just like we always do.

Steffy: Deacon’s showing up again, worming his way back into hope’s life. It’s been really hard on dad.

Thomas: It has to be. Look, deacon is like the worst part of brooke’s history. The only good thing to come out of it was hope.

Steffy: I don’t understand this. This weakness to deacon. He abandoned her and dad was there for her, dad was the father figure. He loved her and raised her, and instead of standing by him, she’s standing by that loser.

Thomas: Do you ever think about what it could have been like for us?

Steffy: Like, if dad chose our family instead of brooke? Yeah, think about that a lot.

Thomas: Dad.

Steffy: What, what’s wrong?

Ridge: I can’t do this, not for another minute, I’m sorry.

Steffy: What happened?

Ridge: So, I told hope if she wants to hang out with deacon, she’s going to have to do it somewhere else. Take your kids, your husband and move off the property.

Steffy: You kicked hope out?

Thomas: Brooke couldn’t have been happy about that.

Ridge: No, she said that it was her house and hope isn’t going anywhere.

Steffy: Let me guess, hope refused to see your concerns.

Ridge: I don’t get it. Brooke knows exactly who deacon was, and he hasn’t changed. But she won’t listen to me.

Steffy: Brooke and hope are asking way too much of you.

Thomas: Yeah, I mean, I don’t get it. So, so why wouldn’t she get rid of deacon after everything that he’s done? You’re supposed to, what? Just welcome him into the family or what?

Steffy: I know brooke is your wife, but we’re your kids and we really understand what you’re going through.

Ridge: Appreciate that.

Steffy: And we’re not the only ones who would think that way. I’ve been talking to mom recently and she wants to come back, but I think something’s keeping her away or like someone.

Ridge: Who?

Steffy: Brooke. I think it’s hard for mom to see the two of you together. And I know I shouldn’t be saying this, but I keep hoping that you’re going to wake up and realize brooke isn’t worth it. You have another family, a family who loves and supports you. That’s me, thomas and mom.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 

[ Indistinct conversations ] I heard about jason. I don’t even know what to say, except I’m sorry. Well, I don’t think that there’s much else to say. How’s uncle sonny doing? About what you’d expect, I guess. We’re all just… really, really sad. And shocked and angry. Yeah, all those things. Uh, to be honest, I was kind of surprised when you texted. I figured you’d be laying low. Yeah, well, I would definitely rather be under my covers. But jason would hate that. So instead of moping around all day, I decided to let off some steam. You know, punch something. Oh, and you thought of me? I’m touched. Yeah. You think you can handle it? Lace up, jacks. These are velcro. Then just, come on. Put the gloves on. Better? Better. Esme: Trina, I’m so glad I ran into you. Mind if I sit? Sure. Thanks. Wow. You look busy. Life of a college student. Hey, um, can I get you anything? A large, sugar-free, half-caf latte with soy milk. No foam. God forbid.

[ Chuckles ] Did you get all that? We’ll see when you take a sip. I just love his sense of humor, don’t you? He’s a real crack-up, that cam. And now, down to business. We have business? Our trip isn’t gonna plan itself. I can’t wait. The five of us together, outside of port charles? We’re gonna have so much fun. And I’m, um — I’m sorry I wasn’t there when you heard about jason. Oh, it’s okay. I mean, your dad and I wanted to be the ones to tell you. We didn’t want to do it over the phone. Ah, yeah, I would have hated that. I mean, if I had to hear about it from anyone, I guess I’m — I’m grateful it was drew. Yeah, me too. Sit down.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] Man, I just — I can’t believe this is happening again. And I know — I know we survived without jason before, but… but you don’t know how? We’re gonna handle it the second time like we handled it the first time — as a family. Okay? Sonny: Whatever happened between us in nixon falls, it needs to come from me. And it will. I understand. I do. But despite everything, all the pain that it caused people, I-I know we’ve gone on with our lives, but I have to let you know that our love is the purest thing that I have ever known. And I am so sorry, sonny, but I cannot regret that. I refuse to accept that what you did — lying to me and my family — was an act of love, nina. It wasn’T. It wasn’T. I can see that now. But it went on for so long, I didn’t know how to get out of it. I didn’t know what words to use. I mean, how do you explain something like that? I don’t know. I felt like I was just trapped there, like my lies were trapping me. And I was living this life in nixon falls that I never intended. In a way, it’S… it’s like we have that in common.

[ Door opens ] Where’s my lawyer? Hasn’t arrived yet. Well, I hope you know better than to try and question me without representation. I mean, that’s literally your job as acting police commissioner, isn’t it? To protect my rights? I don’t give a damn about your rights. Because I’m not here as the police commissioner. Right now, you’re talking to maxie’s father. Where is he? What’s wrong? Pretty much everything. I need to talk to peter.


I think this is a terrible idea. I didn’t ask for your opinion, anna. I asked where peter was. He’s here. He’s not allowed visitors. Is that what I am? A-a visitor? I think we can make an exception given the circumstances. Yeah, that’s not up to me to decide. No, I know. It’s up to mac. Who we both know is gonna say no unless you back me up. Why? After everything he’s put you through — all the physical, mental, emotional torture — why is it so important for you to see him, darling? I’ve dealt with countless lowlifes in my time, but you’re in a class all by yourself. Aw, that’s sweet, mac. No, I take that back. You’re in a class with faison. Oh, well, like father, like son, I suppose. Coming to town, pretending to be an actual human being. Meanwhile, manipulating my daughter the entire time, using her grief over nathan to worm your way in — I love maxie. When I think of all the time you spent with her, with my grandkids — your grandkids — I.E. James, the child that I brought into this world with my own hands? If only I could take you out of it. Well, it’s too bad I’m in police custody, then. Accidents happen in jail all the time. A threat? Just a fact. Noted. Here’s another one. If anything happens to me, louise stays gone for good. So, esme and I, we’ve been talking a lot about that trip that she wants to take. That we want to take. And we were thinking, maybe on your winter vacation? You think that uncle sonny would let us use his cabin? Whoa. No? N-no, I’m sure he would. I meant “whoa” as in, I never agreed to this vacation. And the more I think about it — no, come on. You and cameron, you have to go. Why? Because of esme? Yeah, she really wants to get to know my friends better. So, then, let’s get coffee or have lunch. I mean, do we really need to go on vacation? I’m sorry, I just don’t think that a weekend getaway together would best improve our relationship, if you know what I mean. A toddler would know what you mean, joss. Why won’t you cut esme a break? Sorry. She set ava’s car on fire. And I agree that she went too far, but she only did it for me. Oh, so, in that case… esme loves me. And do you love her? Yeah. Why? She’s gorgeous and exciting, uh, passionate… so, she’s hot. Yeah, but it’s not the sex. It’s not just the sex. Look. Okay. I know that esme can be a lot, but so can I, right? I don’t think you want me to answer that. Look, we fit. Okay? And I think that if you just gave esme a chance, you’d see how incredible she really is. Okay. Tell me about the “real” esme. Esme: What are you studying? A lot of things. But right at this second, nature photography. Like your exhibit at the gallery? Kind of. Like her epic exhibit at the gallery. It was such a hit that her professor asked to give a presentation to her class. Isn’t that cool? I don’t know. Sounds like a lot of extra work. Which is why I should get back to it. Mm. Well? No offending foam. It’s perfect. Excellent. Cam, wait. Uh, trina and I were just talking about our trip. I’m so excited. And spence is, too. Oh, uh, I didn’t think anything was decided yet. We’re still batting around ideas. I’m thinking winter break. I haven’t been skiing in ages. Do you ski? I-I do. Is there a mountain nearby that’s decent? Well, I mean, yeah. There — there is a mountain nearby, but — how amazing does that sound? Skiing by day, snuggling by the fire at night. You know, me and spence, you and joss, and, uh… trina, of course. Don’t text me again, ’cause I’m not gonna meet you. Okay. [ Sighs ] The — the only reason I reached out to you, sonny, is because I wanted to warn you about peter. Okay. You know, it’s not like I reached out because I wanted to steal more time with you. You know, I’m not delusional, contrary to popular belief. I know that you love your wife. I do, yeah. And I am trying to preserve that. I’m trying to protect your relationship with carly from whatever this psycho may have planned to — to break you guys up. Okay. Don’t worry about peter. No, but really, sonny, I’m being honest. I don’t want to cost you any more than I already have. You might not believe me. So, if peter is trying to stir up more trouble, I’m gonna try to contact — he’s not gonna cause any more trouble. Trust me. That son of a bitch killed jason. My best friend, my brother. He’s gone. Michael: Where’s dad? I don’t know where he disappeared to. But I-I think he’ll be back soon. In the meantime, distract me. Did wiley enjoy thanksgiving in new york? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. He loved all the holiday lights and the holiday windows, and, yeah. But actually, his — his favorite thing was all the dogs. The dogs? Yeah, he pointed out every single one of them as we passed on the sidewalk.

[ Laughing ] Oh, my gosh. That’s — that’s a lot of dogs. Yeah, you think? Oh, I bet annabelle is gonna to need a brother or sister this christmas. I said the same thing. We just got to get willow on board. So, um, did you take wiley skating? Yeah, we, um — we went to the central park rink because the rockefeller center was a little too crowded. And? He crushed it. Of course he did.

[ Chuckles ] Do you remember the first time you were on skates? Yeah, yeah. You, uh — you… and jason and, um, dad brought me. My heart just dropped every single time you fell. But jason was so calm. He would just pick you back up and make sure you were off again. I always pictured, uh, jason being there for wiley, you know? Just being there for him the same way he’s always been there for me.

[ Voice breaking ] I know. Me too.

[ Sniffles, sighs ] Are you alright? Yeah. Yeah. I just, um — I heard some bad news. Sasha and brando. Just remember that we have a great team that’s doing everything in their power to help that baby boy. Epiphany, have you seen michael?


esme puts on a good show, but she’s never actually had a lot of friends. Oh, shocking. Okay, so if you’re not actually gonna take this seriously, we’re not gonna talk about it, josslyn. Okay, I will. I will. I’m sorry. Promise. I will. Esme grew up in boarding schools, and her parents died when she was still pretty young, so… that sounds awful. It was. Not that I realized it at first. I only saw “party esme” like everybody else. But she was one of the few students who actually stayed on campus during breaks. Like you did. Yeah. So, one night we started talking and we clicked. Well, that doesn’t surprise me. It seems like you guys would have a lot in common. We bonded over the loneliness that we felt. And how hard it was to connect with other students. And I don’t know. Ever since then, we’ve been together. Just the two of us. Us against the world. Yeah, except the world isn’t actually out to get you. You know what I mean. I have her back and she has mine. Yeah. Partners in crime. So to speak. So, after hearing all of that, do you think that you maybe possibly can give esme the benefit of the doubt? By the way, you don’t have to come solo. You can totally bring a plus-one. I’m not really seeing anyone, so… but it could be a fun start to a relationship. Come on. Someone must have caught your eye at pcu. Not really. Which is fine because this is not necessarily a couples thing, anyway. We’re just going as a group of friends. Right. Um, I’ll be right back. I just need to seat these customers. Hey. I hope I didn’t make you uncomfortable. It’s fine. I’m sure the weekend will be fun. I feel kind of bad. Why? Well, I-I never would have suggested the five of us go away if I had known about you and cameron. What about me and cameron? He told me that you two almost got together. Now he’s with josslyn? Ouch. I haven’t seen peter since he disappeared from the hospital. But knowing he’s out there somewhere, I-it was like a nightmare that I couldn’t wake up from. I spent months being terrified that I would walk into my apartment or turn the corner and he would be there. He’s taken too much from me, anna. And I refuse to be scared of him for one more minute. No, I-I get it. I do. If I was in your position, I’d want to confront him, too. Why should I be surprised that my fierce, brave goddaughter wants to do the same? I get it.

[ Door opens ] So, you’re gonna help me with mac?

[ Door closes ] Absolutely not. What? You don’t even know what I’m here for yet. You want to see peter, and the answer is no. Mac, please. He’s not done fighting, maxie. Anna: What does that mean? Peter claims to know where louise is. He doesn’T. I mean, he — he blackmailed nina in nixon falls precisely because he didn’t know where the baby was and he wanted help finding her. He’s now saying he was just trying to ascertain how far along you and valentin were in your search. Oh, that’s stupid, no. He’s lying! I’m sure he is. Look, peter knows — he knows his time is up and is most likely just grasping at straws. That’s my point, sweetheart. Listen. Anything peter would say to you would be a lie, and probably a hurtful one. Why do you want to subject yourself to that? It’s not about what peter has to say to me. It’s about what I have to say to him. She’s very strong, mac. Strong and stubborn. Yeah, I wonder who taught me that. I mean… if she says she needs to do this, I’d believe her. It’s not fair. You’ve lost so many people. Your father, lenny, and now jason. I wish I could take your pain away. That’s not how life works, nina. I tricked myself into thinking that keeping you from your past was gonna save you from a life of violence. You were so unburdened as mike. You were at ease and relaxed. I thought nixon falls would be a fresh start for you, and maybe a fresh start for me, too. It’s not a fresh start if you don’t know what came before. I was living a-a lie. I believed in my head that it was real. My friends and family w-were stolen from me. And you know what? What? I would take the pain of losing jason any day… because he was — you know, he was like my brother. He was — he would — we would do everything together, and we would protect each other, and… I regret every day of my life what my lies robbed you of. We have to move forward, live the life that we have now. Move forward. Separate lives. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I’m sorry. I haven’t seen michael. Oh, that’s okay. I’ll just — I’ll text him. Okay. Did you hear about sasha and brando? Yeah, yeah, that’s why we came to the hospital. How’s the baby? He’s in the nicu. They named him liam. Liam? Yeah. I like that. Yeah. He was deprived of oxygen during the delivery. It’s too soon to tell if he suffered any brain damage. God. It must be hell for sasha and brando, waiting for news like that. You said “we.” Is willow with you? Uh, yeah, she went to go put in a good word at the chapel. Why don’t we go check the nurses’ desk, see if there’s an update? Hey, willow. Hi. What is it? Is there any news on the baby? Oh, no. I mean, at least none that I’m aware of. Then what’s wrong?


Mac, please. I’ve never been good at saying no to you. Why break the cycle now? Thank you. And I love you. I love you, too. But the second whatever’s going on in there feels weird to you — I-I’m out of there. Alright. Good.

[ Smooches ] You’re very brave. No. I feel anything but brave right now. I have to do this, anna. Not just for me, but for louise. I’m happy for cam and joss. There’s no issue there. That’s great. I’m serious, esme. We’re good. It’s just that when cameron brought it up, it really sounded like… you know what? Never mind. You’ve gone this far. Mm. Just say it. Not only is it nothing, but it’s none of my business. And just for the record, I’m not one of those people who thinks that everyone has to be coupled up to be happy. Before I met spence, I was perfectly fine on my own. But once you did? I guess I just never realized the beauty in having someone understand you so completely. And that’s spencer? Now that I’ve found him, I have no intention of letting him go. My mom’s right. You seem, uh — seem upset. Yeah. Is anything — what’s going on?

[ Elevator bell dings ]

[ Sighs ] Hey. Hey. Ah. Glad you’re home. Yeah, so am I. How you holding up? I’m, um… still in shock. Look, dad, I am — I am — I’m so sorry about jason. Well, you know, it’s good to have family here, you know. That’s what I was telling michael. Long as we have each other, we can get through anything. I just can’t believe that jason’s gone. I know. And it’s because of peter august. Carly: I’m so glad that bastard has been caught. At least now he’s gonna pay for his crimes. Oh, he’s gonna pay. I’m gonna make sure of it. Peter: What’s going on, mac? One wrong move and I’ll shoot you myself.


Guess there’s nothing to do except for just wait to hear from brando. Waiting — my specialty. Hey, you, uh, never answered my question. Are you — are you okay? I’m just… I’m just praying for that little boy — hoping with all my heart that sasha and brando can take him home soon. Yeah, me too. But you were, uh — you were gone kind of a while. Were you in the chapel the whole time? I went. I-I… I just didn’t want to disturb the people inside. I get that you think esme is the know-all, be-all, and that she’s really nice to you. But, spencer, if she treats everyone else like trash, I’m sorry, I don’t want to hang out with her. Can we be real? Yeah, let’s try it. It’s not like you’ve been so nice to esme, either. She fired the first shot. Did she, though? Um… if I remember correctly, you’ve been pretty cold to her from the start. Oh, well, maybe if you would have mentioned that you had a girlfriend, maybe even just once, instead of hanging all over trina — I was not. Oh, I thought we were being real. I like trina. I think that she’s super cool. And? And maybe I could have been more direct when I first met her about what was happening. Maybe? But it has always been esme for me. Then why keep her a secret? I didn’t handle things well in the beginning, okay? Yeah, all the lying and the terrorizing of ava. I mean, she’s not my favorite person, but even she didn’t deserve that. I screwed up. Why are you acting so surprised, joss? It’s not like it’s the first time. No. And I’m sure it won’t be the last. That’s what friends are, right? The people who love you anyway? Alright, alright. Ease up with the love talk. You know what I’m saying. We’ve been friends since forever. Yeah. So, as my friend… can you give esme the chance to show you who she really is? I can definitely do that. Oh, maxie, you’re even more beautiful than I remembered. I knew you wouldn’t be able to stay away. Peter… just shut up. For once, you are gonna listen to what I have to say. This little fantasy you have of us being together, living happily ever after — it’s never gonna happen. And honestly, it — it blows my mind that you still think it could. After everything you have done to me, how could you think I would feel anything for you except hatred? Everything I did was out of love for you. You are a murderer! A murderer, peter. You hired a-a fake nurse to kidnap me and induce labor. That is not love. That — that is — I don’t even know what to call it. A-abuse? Torture? I can’t be a mother to my child because of you. I can’t rock her to sleep or kiss her tiny little hands. I am missing those moments, and it is your fault. I will never forgive you for that. I don’t believe that. I don’t care what you believe! Well, mac must have told you I can find louise. I can tell you where she is! Stop it. No, I’m telling you, maxie, I can give you back our little girl. Stop lying! We can be a family again! Oh, my god! You are in handcuffs, headed to prison, where you will rot in a cell for the rest of your life. You’re not gonna have a family, peter. You’re not gonna have me, and you are not going to have louise. There’s nothing for you. Think about that. Choke on it. How you doing?

[ Sighs ] I-I asked for a body pillow for sasha. I mean, to make her feel better. Smart idea. Yeah. It felt good to do something, even though it was just a pillow, you know? Every little bit helps, right? It’s just not easy to wait. Nothing’s easy right now. Yeah. I want to go sit with michael and willow. Come on. No, no, no, no. I got something I got to take care of. Now? Uh…brando texted me. He said that he’s — he — he doesn’t need anything, uh, except good news. A-and the support of his family. I mean, what could be that important? If it wasn’t important, I wouldn’t be going. Then tell me. What takes precedence over a baby in the nicu? I don’t want you to have to worry about anything. Call me if there’s an update.


the search for louise is going nowhere. Yeah, well, things can change in an instant. You know how this works. I know. It just feels so hopeless right now. You’re not putting any weight on what peter said, are you? I don’t believe that he knows where that little girl is. As a cop, I know that. I mean, I know peter’s just trying to save his skin. Okay, but as a father and a grandfather… how can we discount any lead, no matter what the source? Peter: Maxie, look at me. Ugh, there’s nothing I would rather see less. You made me a better man. You are not a man, peter. You are pure evil. And I regret the day I met you. Goodbye. It’s about that doctor, isn’t it? Why did you just say? Dr. Gatlin-holt. Your savior in the woods who delivered louise. I met him earlier at G.H. So? So, it’s quite obvious he’s interested in you. Oh, this is not happening. Which, of course, is a no-brainer to me. You’re beautiful. What surprised me, though, is I never imagined you’d give him the time of day. Are you insane? This has nothing to do with austin. Ooh, so you’re on a first-name basis with him. Then you are close. I see. So what if we’re close? So what if we were dating? So what if I was dating the entire pcu football team? That is none of your damn business, peter. I am none of your business. On the contrary, maxie. Don’t you know by now that there’s only one man in your life, and that man is me?

[ Scoffs ] Go to hell, peter. Trina: Shift over? Yep. Great. Sit down. Join us. Oh, actually, I can’T. I have to meet joss at the gym. Volonino’s? That’s where spence is. Can you give me a ride? Sure. It’s a bummer you have to leave so soon. Spence was so happy he had the day off. I mean, he’s been working so hard lately. Maybe you should consider getting a job.

[ Laughing ] Oh, I am way too busy. With what? Oh, all those classes I’m auditing at pcu. And my internship, obviously. Huh. Can’t imagine working at a prison. Prison lite, I call it. It’s really not that terrible. You enjoy it? I do. It’s fascinating from a psychological perspective. But I’ll definitely be ready for a break by the time our trip rolls around. Count to 10. Count to… to 10. Epiphany: Carly? Oh. Um… I’m sorry.

[ Chuckles ] What are you sorry for? Oh, um, just blocking traffic here and… uh, no traffic here. I, uh… I don’t know why I apologized. You know, I don’t usually do that.

[ Chuckles ] No, you do not.

[ Chuckles ] I don’t know why I am doing half the things I’ve done these past few days. Grief? I, uh… heard about jason. I’m very sorry for your loss. Thank you. I mean that, carly. I’m sorry for your loss. Jason was, uh… he was a remarkable person. Someone I respected. He respected you, too. I never doubted that.

[ Both laugh ] And I never doubted he loved you. Without condition or reservation. That he would do

[Chuckles] Literally anything for you. I never doubted that, either. Whatever happened, good or bad — if I was hurt, scared, or wrong — without question, jason would always be there. And I knew he would be, no matter what. Now he’s not gonna be there anymore. He’s gonna be there ever again.

[ Sighs ] I know he would want me to, um… …keep going, move on. And I will.

[ Chuckles lightly ] I will. I… I’m gonna miss him every single day for the rest of my life. When you’re missing him, I hope you think back to your wedding day. Jason was happy. And so were you. That love you felt that day? It’s still there. It’s yours to keep. Michael. Willow. You know, shouldn’t you, uh, be meeting with your lawyer? Your preliminary hearing is coming up soon, right? Scott’s on it. But I appreciate your concern. I’m sure you do. Listen, I’m just here for sasha. My goal is not to upset you, or you. And yet, you keep doing it. W-what is your goal, exactly, nina? To provide support for sasha if she needs it. Why don’t I just go wait someplace else? I think that’s a good idea. Is it — is it selfish to say I’m glad your empathy for nina only goes so far? Your family comes first with me, michael. Hey, it’s our family. Our family. I hope you know that. I do. Well, in times like these, they really bring us together. And with everything going on, I am… I am very grateful for that. What are you doing here? I’ll give you one guess. Okay, listen. I know you’re ready to explode. We all are. But you’ve got to let the authorities handle peter. Understand? H-he’s wanted on multiple charges in multiple jurisdictions. He’s not gonna walk away. Jason’s dead because of that trash. I know. I just want him to know exactly what he’s waiting for.


Oof! Nobody better mess with you. Oh. That’s right. So, um, what’s up? Well, spencer and I were just talking about our trip. Josslyn, um, said that she thinks that we can use uncle sonny’s cabin. Really? Yeah. Yeah, I don’t see why not, unless he and my mom are planning on using it, but highly doubt that. Amazing. Sounds like a blast. Yeah, it’ll for sure be memorable. Good workout? Yeah, it was fun. Mm. So, I’m surprised joss agreed to the trip. We had a good talk. Seems like she’s open to getting to know you better. Do you think she meant it? Yeah. Josslyn doesn’t lie. Hey. So, um… are — are you really cool with this whole trip thing? No. But spencer wants me to get to know the real esme, and I don’t know. I have a hunch that he may be the one surprised. Joss, what are you planning? Me? Nothing. Esme will do all the work on her own. But until then, there is no way I’m turning my back on that girl. Hey. So, your dad had to leave. What, now? Yeah. I don’t know. He said he had something to take care of. I’m going to, uh, check my schedule for next week. I’ll be right back, okay? Okay.

[ Sighs ] Hey, mom, is everything okay with you and dad? Yeah, we’re fine. Yeah? Sure? Seems like there’s a lot of tension. Well, there is tension. I-I mean, there’s grief, everything going on with liam and… it’s nina I’m mad at, okay? Not your dad. I just ran into her. What? She’s still here? Hopefully, her trial goes soon, sending her to jail and out of our lives for good. From your lips. Nina: Willow. I overheard that you were in the chapel earlier. So was I. It’s funny, I didn’t see you there. I heard you. With sonny.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jack: Why isn’t abby with you?

Ashley: She needs more time.

Jack: I thought the plan was you were gonna bring her back here and we were gonna take off.

Ashley: Well, the plans changed.

Jack: What — she’s staying? She’s still clinging to the delusion that her husband is still alive? Ashley, if she’s that bad off, why did you leave her?

Ashley: She’s not deluded, jack. She had hope and she didn’t give up, and I’m so glad she didn’T.

Jack: What are you talking about?

Ashley: What I’m about to tell you is completely confidential. Do you understand me? It has to stay between you and me.

Jack: Yeah, cross my heart. Talk to me.

Ashley: Abby is staying at the house because she’s with chance. He is alive.

Jack: Oh, my god.

Kim: Is your mother still here?

Abby: Uh, she went to the plane. She’s getting ready to leave.

Kim: Oh. And chance is…?

Abby: Out, getting some air.

Kim: Walking and thinking, that usually does the trick.

Abby: I need you to help me convince him to come home. I know that he wants to, but he feels like he needs to complete the mission.

Kim: Of course he does.

Abby: And I did not come all this way to leave without my husband. It is tearing me apart to be away from our baby. I had this feeling in my heart that he was still alive, and i knew I needed to find him and bring him home.

Kim: [ Sighs ] I’m glad you came, abby. And like I said, I think chance needs to be with you now after all he’s gone through.

Abby: Can you just tell him that you think he’s too injured to go back in the field?

Kim: I don’t know about that. It wouldn’t be honest.

Abby: Anything you can do to help me convince him, to help change his mind. I need my husband to come home with me.

Billy: Ah. Can I get another one, please? Thank you.

[ Sighs ] Ah, yeah, that explains it. Could feel the joy being sucked out of the room. What are you doing here?

Victor: Well, I certainly am not sitting at a bar in the middle of the day, wallowing in self-pity and my failures.

Billy: Thank you, sir.

Victor: Is that the first one?

Billy: Ah. I think you know it’s not. I’m having an adult beverage. There’s worse things a man can do.

Victor: [ Laughs ] You certainly would know, wouldn’t you?

Billy: You know, victor, the last time I saw you, I was a groveling, sniffling mess.

Victor: You were.

Billy: I played the sacrificial lamb, laid myself at your feet, asking for mercy. That’s not gonna happen again.

Victor: Oh?

Billy: So if you’re looking for that today, you’re gonna be disappointed.

Lily: You want me to take over chancellor?

Jill: I know this is catching you off-guard. It’s a lot to absorb. And I don’t need an answer this minute.

Lily: Yeah, no, that’s good to know.

Jill: I don’t have a timetable established for my departure yet, but it’s gonna be soon, lily, and I do want the transition to run smoothly.

Lily: Right. Okay, is that why you’re starting this process now and why you’re staying on as an advisor?

Jill: Exactly.

Lily: Wow.

[ Chuckles ] Well, look, I mean, I’m — I’m — I’m flattered that you think I’m ready for a role like this.

Jill: Oh, I know you’re ready.

Lily: But, I mean, I have to ask, if — if I take over chancellor, then what happens to chanccomm? And what happens to billy?

Feeling sluggish or weighed

Jack: Wow, leave it to abby. None of us questioned what we were being told. Abby held firm to her belief that her husband was still alive.

Ashley: Of course we thought he was dead. I mean, all the evidence was overwhelming. I thought she wasn’t dealing with her grief. She knew in her heart that the man that she loves is alive.

Jack: Wow. So I assume they’re still at the house getting reunited privately, and then they’re gonna come here and we’re gonna take off.

Ashley: I’m not so sure about that, jack. Chance has been through a lot, and I’m not talking about just physically. He can’t bring himself to leave here.

Jack: I thought he would jump at the opportunity to go home.

Ashley: Yeah, well, he doesn’t want to abandon his mission and he wants to avenge the deaths of his team members.

Jack: Well, abby’s here now. She can talk him out of it, right? Right?

Kim: I’d like to help you, abby, but chance isn’t gonna listen to me.

Abby: You’ve been taking care of him. If you just give him your medical opinion —

Kim: That won’t make a damn bit of difference. If he decides to go back to the states with you, it’s got to be a decision the two of you make together. How was your walk?

Chance: It was good. Can’t go as fast or as far as I’d like to, but served its purpose.

Kim: Good. I’ll leave you to it.

Chance: I, um… I heard what you said. I hate that this is hurting you. I hate it. I just wish you could understand why I have to stay.

Abby: I love that you feel compelled to help others and you’re always fighting for what’s right. And I know that you want to find justice for the people who were killed. But you don’t even know if you are gonna be able to complete the mission. Have you talked to your section chief yet?

Chance: He knows I need time to heal, okay?

Abby: Well, maybe there’s an alternative. You’re wounded, you’re injured. I mean, the mission was compromised. The safe house was leveled. Maybe they’re coming up with a new plan, one that doesn’t involve you.

Chance: I hear you. I’m not gonna speculate. Neither should you. We won’t know anything till i get the official word.

Abby: What I do know is that they have other options. I only have one husband. You’re dominic’s father. You’re irreplaceable to us. Doesn’t that make a difference to you? Aren’t we enough to change your mind?

Victor: So, billy boy, i understand that victoria and ashland made a preemptive offer for chanccomm.

Billy: That is right, they did.

Victor: Hmm. Good move on their part.

Billy: You know, when I came to you and offered to step down from chanccomm in order to make sure that lily could run the company on her own without interference, thought I was gonna hear from you. But now I understand that all you want to do is watch me squirm.

Victor: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: Wait for chanccomm to lose some value so you can come in and swoop it up. Except now you have some competition.

Victor: Do you think that you mommy, jill, is going to accept the offer?

Billy: Do you think that I’m gonna tell you that?

Victor: Do you know why i think victoria made that preemptive offer? To spare you the humiliation of losing to adam. In other words, victoria came to your rescue. Huh? But no matter how you turn this, no matter what direction you will go in, you’ll have to face the music. You’re gonna have to pay the consequence of your actions.

Billy: Can I ask you a question?

Victor: Sure.

Billy: Why do you hate me so much?

Victor: [ Chuckles ] My goodness. What a question.

Jill: I think you see the writing on the wall for billy in big, bold letters.

Lily: Look, what happened with ashland locke and gaines, it was extremely unfortunate.

Jill: “Unfortunate”? That implies that there was some sort of bad luck involved. No, billy screwed up. God, and it was totally avoidable.

Lily: I know. Look, it’s true, I know, but we were played by master manipulators. That doesn’t negate all of the amazing achievements billy has done at chanccomm. He still has, you know, amazing vision and the skills to back it up.

Jill: Be that as it may, there is no telling how much billy’s mistake will cost us. I’m telling you, at this point, chanccomm may be more trouble than it’s worth.

Lily: Jill, come on, we’re still turning a profit.

Jill: Yeah, but we’ve taken a significant loss. And if we don’t sell soon, look, victor and adam are gonna keep coming and after us, and ashland’s lawsuit, that’ll do even more damage.

Lily: You don’t think we can turn this around?

Jill: Even if you could, this isn’t the first time that billy has hurt the company by making a move against the newmans.

Lily: Okay, in all fairness, he didn’t do things on his own. We made decisions together as a team.

Jill: Honey, this mess has billy’s fingerprints all over it, and who knows how bad it would’ve been if you hadn’t been there to keep him in line so that chanccomm could function.

Lily: I really think you’re being too hard on him.

Jill: Oh, my god, he used the company as a tool to exact revenge, and even he knows he went too far or he wouldn’t have offered to step down.

Lily: [ Sighs ] I really hate this. I do. I just —

[ Sighs ] We’ve accomplished so much together.

Jill: And you are gonna accomplish even more if you accept my offer.

Lily: But it’s not just about me and billy. I mean, we have an amazing team of talented, hard-working people that I would hate them to lose their jobs.

Jill: Listen, if I sell the division, I will put it in writing that the new owners have got to keep the current employees on the payroll.

Lily: Okay, that’s good. But [Sighs] Still, honestly, jill, I think you’re being too hasty. Building a media business is a marathon, and maybe these issues we’re having, maybe they’re our growing pains, and I think two years from now, if chanccomm were to become a juggernaut in someone else’s hands, I think you’ll really regret this decision.

Jill: What’s done is done. And we’ve got to focus on the future. Most bladder leak pads were similar.

Victor: Why do I hate you so much? Well, that’s an intriguing question, isn’t it.

Billy: Well, it’s a serious one.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Billy: Why do you hate me?

Victor: [ Chuckles ] Why do the spartans hate the athenians? Why did the macedonians hate the persians?

Billy: Yes, why does tom hate jerry? What’s the coyote’s problem with road runner? I’m asking you. Why me?

Victor: Why do you give a damn what I think about you? Hmm? You’re somewhat handsome, you’re mildly intelligent.

Billy: So what don’t you like about me?

Victor: You want to know? I loathe people like you. You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth. You were given everything on a silver platter. You understand? I grew up in an orphanage. I worked for everything I have. I resent people like you. You know who you’re like? A guy who was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple.

Billy: So I’m entitled and spoiled.

Victor: You bet. You’re entitled and spoiled. You thumb your nose at everyone. You disrespect other people’s values.

Billy: I have done that in the past.

Victor: Oh, and now you are willing to pay the piper, huh? Face the consequences for your actions? You mean victoria’s no longer gonna protect you. Is that it?

Billy: I don’t need protection from anyone.

Victor: Really?

Billy: Nope, I just want to make sure that lily’s not hurt because of my actions, and victoria’s offer allows that.

Victor: Let’s face reality, okay?

Billy: Sure.

Victor: You don’t own the damn company. Mommy dearest does, doesn’t she? Huh?

Billy: She does.

Victor: Right. And you know she has sense. She knows how to forget about her emotions when it comes to business. She’s a very savvy businesswoman.

Billy: She is.

Victor: Right.

Billy: Which is why i wouldn’t feel very confident if I was you right now.

Victor: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: Thanks for my drink.

Victor: Alright, billy boy. You have a good day.

Jill: You still haven’t said whether you’re interested in being ceo of chancellor.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] I mean, of course I’m interested. Of course. This is the opportunity of a lifetime. You know, and I’m sure when you imagine this moment, you thought you’d be passing the torch to billy.

Jill: Oh, my god, I would have loved nothing better than to hand this company over to billy, but once again, he proved that he was unreliable.

Lily: [ Sighs ] I don’t think that’s true.

Jill: You have got to stop defending him.

You are the reliable one.

You are the one who has exceeded my expectations.

Lily: [ Sighs ] I mean, look, I-I — I do like the idea of being a part of a company with such a rich history, you know, and adding to that legacy.

Jill: And I’ll tell you something else, katherine, the old bat — god rest her soul — she would have wholeheartedly agreed with my choice. And there’s another ceo that would have agreed with my choice.

Lily: Who?

Jill: Your father, neil, ran chancellor.

Lily: Yeah, I mean, just for a little while.

Jill: Doesn’t matter. He would be so proud to see you behind that desk.

Lily: [ Sighs ] God, what am I supposed to do, though? Just leave billy out in the cold? Like, I’m sorry, I’m not okay with that.

Jill: I have no problem with billy working for you at chancellor. I mean, as a matter of fact, i was hoping you would suggest that.

Lily: Okay, well, what about us being co-ceos again?

Jill: [ Sighs ] Listen, I want him to feel valued and I want to put his talents to use, but in a way that will not hurt him or the company.

Lily: Meaning what?

Jill: He can hold a secondary position, but nothing where he calls the shots and definitely nothing where he has any part in decision-making.

Lily: Okay, define “secondary.”

Jill: I don’t know, coo? Whatever role you deem appropriate, but make no mistake, you alone will be in charge.

Lily: [ Sighs ] My god, that’s gonna be so painful for him.

Jill: Oh, lily, you’ve got to stop putting my son’s needs ahead of your own. He is a grown man. He will find a way to deal with this.

Lily: I mean, that’s a little cold, jill.

Jill: Do you not see what a great opportunity this is? You can’t let your personal life stand in the way of your success. You and I both know that relationships don’t always last, but a career — a career is something you can count on. It’s something you can build a future with. And I’m not just talking about money. Being the boss, it’s very empowering.

Lily: Yeah, I’m sure. I’m sure, but, I mean, I do feel like billy and I are in this for the long haul.

Jill: And I sincerely hope you’re right.

Lily: Right, which is why i can’t just ignore his feelings like you can.

Jill: Do you now know that it’s killing me to set this condition? But I have no choice. I mean, billy’s made great strides in his personal life, ’cause your relationship is a testament to that. But professionally, he can’t get it through his head that there are some risks that aren’t worth taking.

Jack: I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that he wants to stay. Chance always had this strong sense of duty.

Ashley: Yeah, and he’s never failed a mission. It’s a point of pride for him.

Jack: Yeah, but his leaving wouldn’t be failing. The mission is over.

Ashley: Try to tell him that.

Jack: Well, I’m sure abby’s doing everything in her power to convince him to go.

Ashley: Oh, she is, including a live-stream of dominic.

Jack: And that had no effect?

Ashley: Oh, it definitely did. He was torn apart. I mean, he wants to be with his baby, but he feels compelled to stay here.

Jack: They can’t stay here forever, ash.

Ashley: I don’t know what’s gonna happen, jack, because abby will not leave his side, which means she’s gonna be living under the constant threat of danger and always worrying that her husband’s gonna take off for valencia and get himself killed this time for real.

Jack: I don’t even want to think that. And I don’t believe abby would stay away from her baby that long, no matter what she says.

Ashley: Well, what if she does come home alone? Then what?

Chance: I want to come home to you and dominic more than anything, but I can’t just walk away when there’s work left to do.

Abby: Yes, you can.

Chance: And, abby, I’m concerned that you want to stick around if I stay and continue this mission.

Abby: Well, there’s one way to prevent that, and that’s by walking out the door and getting on the plane together.

Chance: Abby, please.

Abby: I have compassion for what you’re going through. Feeling the loss of your colleagues.

Chance: My friends, abby. My friends.

Abby: And I know that you want to do right by them, but it’s time that you do right by me and dominic. You need to really think about this…and the promises that you made.

Chance: That’s my wedding ring. Doesn’t your family deserve the best?

Abby: I got this from christine. They found it in the rubble after the explosion in valencia.

Chance: You can’t imagine how hard it was to take it off and leave it behind. But I knew it would help sell the story that I didn’t make it out. Can you please forgive me?

Abby: Of course. It’s part of the evidence that kept you safe. When I knew I was gonna go search for you, I put it on a chain, wore it as a necklace. I wanted it to be close to my heart. I wanted to feel close to you. And I was dreaming of the day that I could give it back to you.

[ Sighs ] Do you remember what you told me on our wedding day? You promised that you were gonna give me the life that I deserve. That you were gonna keep our family safe and happy. And we made a vow to have and to hold until death do us part. And I slipped this ring on your finger as a symbol of that vow, of that promise. And now I am holding you to that. And maybe this isn’t playing fair, and you can be angry with me and you can hate me, but you know what? I don’t care. Because I am fighting for the survival of our family. And I need you to fight with me.

Jack: It is entirely possible abby won’t be able to convince chance to leave, as persuasive as she is.

Ashley: He seems determined to stay here and complete his work.

Jack: What if he found out that his work was complete?

Ashley: What do you mean?

Jack: Well, there’s another way to go about this that might take some pressure off of abby.

Ashley: I’m not following.

Jack: What if we took chance completely out of the decision-making process? We go over his head.

Jill: So I would like to focus more on the fu–

Billy: Oh, no. You go right ahead. Don’t stop on my account.

Lily: We were just discussing a project.

Billy: “Project,” is that what you’re calling me now? So I’m sure I gave you plenty to talk about.

Jill: You’ve been drinking, haven’t you?

Billy: I had a couple drinks, but I took a cab home, okay? I didn’t drive. I’m still capable of making responsible decisions, in — in spite of what you might think.

Lily: Uh, jill, do you mind if billy and I chat alone for a moment, please?

Jill: No, of course I don’T. I’m heading out anyway. So we’ll talk, right?

Lily: Yes, we will.

Jill: Okay, great. I just want you to know something. Please don’t ever forget that, even though you and I fight and we hurt each other’s feelings occasionally, I’ll always be your mother and I will always want the best for you.

Billy: Yeah, I know that. It’s just your opinion on what that is isn’t always right.

Jill: Just never forget that I love you.

Billy: So, what’d I miss? I just heard something amazing!

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Jill: Hello, there, victor.

Victor: Jill. My goodness. It’s been a long time.

Jill: Mm-hmm.

Victor: How nice to see you.

Jill: Thank you.

Victor: Have a seat.

Jill: I believe I will.

Victor: My goodness. Jill. I’m so sorry about what happened to chance.

Jill: Yeah. He was a good man. He was a hero. He should be back here, making a new life with abby and their little baby.

Victor: What happened is tragic.

Jill: Yeah. Oh, but I did get some good news. Jack left me a voicemail, and he and ashley have located abby.

Victor: No.

Jill: Yes. Mm-hmm.

Victor: Wow. That’s wonderful news.

Jill: It is.

Victor: I hope that ashley will be able to convince abby to come home, where she’ll get the support she needs.

Jill: Yep. It’s really hard being a concerned parent, isn’t it?

Victor: Yep, it certainly is.

Jill: So now you know what I’m going through, thanks to you. After what you and adam did to my son.

Lily: And I would take over when she steps down.

Billy: She wants you to run chancellor?

Lily: Yeah. I could become ceo.

Billy: Lily, that’s — I mean, that’s huge. I honestly had no idea that she was even thinking of stepping away from the seat at the head of the table. That’s — that’s amazing. You’re gonna kill this.

Lily: Thank you. Means a lot to hear you say that.

Billy: I mean, you are gonna take the job?

Lily: I — you know, I — buh! It’s a lot to think about. I have a lot to consider.

Billy: Yeah, yeah, no, of course, but, I mean…

[ Exhales sharply ] You can’t turn this down. I mean, this would be a huge opportunity for your career, and it would take you completely out of the line of fire at chanccomm.

Lily: I think jill’s planning on selling chanccomm.

Billy: Right. Yeah. I’m not surprised to hear that, but I don’t like to hear it. That was our baby. We did a lot of good things there.

Lily: Yeah, but, billy, we can do even more good things together. I already spoke with jill. She’s completely on board with you coming to work with me at chancellor.

Billy: Okay. Alright, yeah, I love working with you.

Lily: Yeah, I mean, you would — you would just be my second-in-command.

Billy: So I’m working for you, not with you. As your subordinate.

Jack: I think you should give christine a call.

Ashley: Why me?

Jack: Because you’re abby’s mother. It would have more weight coming from you.

Ashley: [ Sighs ] Okay, but christine isn’t part of the cover-up. She doesn’t know chance is alive.

Jack: We could let christine into our little circle of trust. Look, I’m sure once she knows what’s going on, she would be willing to reach out to her contacts at the state department and they could let chance know that his work is done. His duty’s fulfilled. He’s free to go home.

Ashley: I hear your logic, but we can’t predict how his supervisors are gonna react. They might want him to stay here and actually finish the mission.

Jack: Well, what do you propose instead?

Ashley: I don’t know. Maybe we should just give them some more time, jack. I mean, chance and abby should be dealing with this together. We shouldn’t interfere. Yes, chance needs time to heal, but abby and chance need time to heal as a couple, and the best place to do that is at home. So let’s just see what happens. I’m sure abby’s gonna check in any minute.

Jack: And what if we don’t hear the answer we want to hear?

Chance: I could never be mad at you for fighting for our family. And I certainly would never hate you for it. I love you so much, abby. I do, more than I could ever show you.

Abby: Then prove it. By coming home with me to genoa city. Meeting your son. Finally being the family that we were meant to be.

Chance: Can I see my ring?

[ Sighs ] Let’s go home.

Abby: [ Gasps ]

Chance: Let’s go home. It’s my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on

Kim: You finally got him to do the right thing. Good for you.

Abby: Chance is a stubborn man.

Kim: The good ones usually are.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Chance: Yes, sir. I’ll do my best. Thank you, sir.

Abby: So, did he want you to stay?

Chance: Well, he thinks that I’m making the right decision.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Chance: I should go home and be with my family. They’re gonna provide us with security in genoa city, and i guess that is that, huh?

Abby: This is the best news. Everyone is gonna be so excited to see you.

Chance: I don’t think I’ve ever failed at anything before.

Abby: You didn’t fail. You provided information to other people who can complete the mission.

Kim: You’re making the right call, chance. It may sting now, but you’ll look back on this and know it was the correct decision.

Chance: Thanks, kim.

Kim: I’ll pack up some things for you, give you one of errol’s heavy jackets. It’s gonna be cold getting off that plan in wisconsin.

Chance: Even now, you’re still looking out for me.

Kim: Old habits, I guess.

Chance: Thank you again for everything. And please tell errol how grateful I am when he gets back from dublin.

Kim: We don’t need your thanks. We just want you to do something for us.

Chance: What’s that?

Kim: Appreciate every moment with your wife and son. Give that baby a kiss for me.

Chance: [ Chuckles ]

Kim: And listen to your wife. She’s smarter than you are.

Chance: [ Laughs ] I sure will.

Jack: How much longer do you think it’ll be before we hear something?

[ Cellphone rings ]

Ashley: Oh, my god. Abby, how are you? What’s going on?

Abby: Mom, we’re coming home.

Ashley: What a relief. So how long will it take you? When can you get here?

Abby: We’re leaving for the airport soon. We just have something we need to take care of. And we’d really appreciate it if you and uncle jack could take care of a couple things for us.

Ashley: Absolutely. What is it?

Chance: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: I don’t know what you mean. However, I’m glad to discuss whatever you think I did wrong to billy boy.

Jill: Okay. Let’s start out by the way you attacked him and my media company by calling him a liar when we know that every damn word of that ashland locke story was the truth.

Victor: The only truth i acknowledge is that billy boy brought it on himself, you know.

Jill: Well, there’s no arguing that, but you were there every step of the way to egg him on.

Victor: He has never known to stay in his own lane, you know? That’s his problem. So he failed. Now, you’re gonna have to bail him out of another failure, don’t you?

Jill: Oh, spare me your sympathy. I’ll be fine. And so will billy.

Victor: Whoa, whoa, whoa. I doubt it this time. He’s gone too far. What are you gonna do about it?

Jill: [ Laughs ] Wouldn’t you like to know?

Victor: Yes, of course i would.

Jill: [ Laughs ] Good seeing you, victor.

Billy: You don’t need to explain anything. I mean, this whole situation with chanccomm, it’s — it’s my responsibility. Unfortunately, in my mother’s mind, I just failed the “big boy, ready to lead” test.

Lily: I don’t think it’s that simple.

Billy: I think it’s exactly that simple. Lily, she’s offering me a corner office at chancellor simply to keep me out of trouble, and she would prefer if I was grateful for it.

Lily: Well, come on, aren’t you?

Billy: Honestly, right now, i feel like I’m losing everything. The job that I love, my dignity, my partnership with you.

Lily: No, billy, come on. You’re not losing me, okay? No matter what, I am with you. And even if I do accept jill’s offer, I really, really hope that you’ll consider coming to chancellor with me. No one can deliver your mom’s homemade short ribs.

Victor: Oh, my goodness, i was so anxious to hear from you.

Ashley: I have some news.

Victor: Have you seen abby? Is she alright?

Ashley: She’s good. A lot better than she was the last time you and I spoke. I will fill you in on all the details later, but I am bringing her home.

Victor: I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful that sounds to me.

Ashley: I’ll talk to you soon.

Victor: Okay, sweetheart.

[ Exhales sharply ]

Ashley: Your turn.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Jill: Jack, is there an update?

Jack: Abby’s coming home.

Jill: Oh, that’s a relief. I hope she’s doing okay.

Jack: She is, and I promise you, things will be better when we all get home.

Abby: Are you ready for this?

Chance: Is she ready for this, that’s the real question. Maybe you should talk to her first, you know, warm her up a little.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Nina: Abby, it’s so good to see you. I was getting worried.

Abby: I’m fine. Hi, nina.

Nina: Where are you?

Abby: I’m on an island just south of spain.

Nina: Oh, so you did go there.

Abby: I had to see for myself.

Nina: You put your life in danger.

Abby: It was worth it. Look, I know you went to australia to be with phillip. Is he there with you right now?

Nina: No, he’s out at the moment. Why?

Abby: Well, I have some news. But for security reasons, you can’t tell anyone — only phillip, okay?

Nina: Okay. What’s up?

Abby: [ Sighs ] Ready?

Chance: Hey, mom.

Nina: Chance?! Oh, my god! You’re alive!

[ Gasps ] I — is this really happening?

Chance: Yeah, yep, it’s really me.

Nina: Oh! Oh, it’s so good to see your face and hear your voice again.

Chance: Oh, it’s so good to see you, too, mom.

Nina: [ Exhales sharply ]

Chance: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: [ Laughs ]

[ Door opens ]

Billy: Mom?

Jill: In here.

Billy: Well, what can I say? Didn’t take you very long to lose your faith in me, did it?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Sorry. I overstepped. No. I want this, too. Well, this was perfect, aunt alexis. Thank you. It was a nice break from the traditional turkey. Spencer, all I did was order in from noodle buddha. Right.

[ Chuckles ] You are the one with the working credit card, though, so… that is a good point. What’s so interesting on your phone? Oh, I’m — I’m sorry. I’m just waiting on some news about an iron in the fire. That’s all. Well, since you both, uh, treated us for dinner, spence and I insist on cleaning up. Yeah. Come on, spence. Thank you, esme. You really don’t like spencer’s girlfriend, do you? It’s not about like. I just don’t trust her. I thank you for your time, chief scorpio, and I expect action to be taken on this matter…tonight. Scout inherited drew’s shares when he was declared dead, but now that he’s alive, that calls into question drew shares that sam signed over to valentin. Which means that valentin’s majority hold on elq is a question. And he’s not gonna take this lying down, which is why I need to act fast, while he’s still recovering from the pain of realizing that bailey’s no longer his daughter.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Alright. Just say it. Tell me I’m a jerk for even thinking about this when we just learned that drew is still alive and… jason probably isn’T. Actually, I’m gonna shock you right now and I’m not gonna say any of that. In fact, I think that where valentin is involved, staying ahead of the situation is absolutely the right move. Brook lynn. What’s going on? You were watching bailey one second, and then you just bounced. Sorry. I’m just…overwhelmed. Trying to process everything we just learned, you know? Everything drew told us. The miracle that he’s alive. The fact that jason isn’T. Just…it puts all of our personal drama — the fact that my dad is disappointed in me again — in perspective. All the sacrifices that we’re making for bailey, they’ll be worth it in the end. They have to, because not everyone is so lucky. Not everyone is going home to their loved ones tonight.

[ Footsteps approach ] Sorry. I didn’t expect to find you here. I actually didn’t think anybody would be here. I just… thought I could… I don’t — I don’t know what I thought I could do here. I do. Cyrus. Cyrus!

[ Phone clatters ] You want a war, you bastard? I’ll give you a war. You were not kidding about annabelle. She’s so big. She’s gonna need a wing of her own. Actually — actually, I think I agree with you.

[ Chuckles it took me a long time, but finally, I have fallen in love with that dog. Mm. And she never left oscar’s side when he was sick. No. She laid on his bed for weeks after he was gone. So, uh… have you seen sam or scout? I’m sure you’re anxious to get back to your old life.


I tried to think about my life here to give me strength. Mostly scout. Thinking about her definitely got me through those two brutal years. But at the same time, I can’t expect to charge back into my life in port charles and have someone as young as scout just welcome me with open arms. A lot can change in two years. Exactly my point. I don’t even really know what a return to my life in port charles even means. I mean, when I left here, I was still just… trying to piece together my identity, trying to figure out what my place was in the world. Well, let me help you out. Your place is here with your family. Valentin? I thought I heard you talking out here. I was hoping your invitation to join the orphan thanksgiving still stands. Why aren’t you at the quartermaines’, having pizza? Change of plans. Charlotte’s at a friend’s this year, and I’m second-guessing my choice to be alone. Anything you want to talk about before we go inside? God, no. Okay, let’s go. Okay, everybody. Make room for one more. What the hell is he doing here?


Mr. Corinthos, sir.

[ Chuckles ] Um, got your message that you needed my assistance? I appreciate you coming over here, especially at the last minute over the holidays. Oh, well. Can’t say it was much of a celebration. Turkey dinner was long over, georgie’s with maxie, and ellie is… well, we’re — we’re not even on speaking terms, so… can’t say I have that much to be thankful for. But, uh — sorry. You said it was urgent. How — how can I help? I need you to trace a call for me. You know renault is in prison? Somehow, he got ahold of a — of a burner phone. Cyrus renault called you from prison? On thanksgiving? How distressing. I need you to figure out what’s going on. Yeah. Um, why did he — why did — why did he call you? He probably heard about jason, got the news, and wanted to call me to taunt me. “Heard about jason”? Is he — is he — is he back from greece? You don’t know? Don’t know what, exactly? I’m surprised you even know about this place. When jason and I were on the run, we had a lot of downtime. Did you know that the original bridge was torn down? It wasn’t safe. So jason made an anonymous donation, and they built this bridge in its place. Hmm. I didn’t know that part.

[ Inhales shakily ]

[ Voice breaking ] But knowing this — this place had such significance to jason, I… I thought maybe I’d feel closer to him if I came here. I imagine you had the same idea. Long before the wedding we just had, before I was involved with jax, even before sonny, jason was my person. My other half, as strange as that may sound. I know.

[ Sniffles ] When jason and i were in the lighthouse, he talked a lot about you. Well [Chuckles] A lot for jason. So I-I-I know how much you two mean to each other. I get why you’re here. Do you want me to go? Look, I know what this is doing to maxie and to valentin, to everyone. How devastated charlotte’s gonna be when she finds out that bailey isn’t her baby sister. Not to mention what this is doing to bailey. I mean, she’s bonding with the wrong woman as her mother. And what about you? What about me? I mean, aren’t you hurting? Me? My part in this is basically telling some lies, which is a skill I acquired at a young age and have nearly perfected. Well, and taking care of bailey, which surprisingly, I’m pretty good at. See? That’s my point. Valentin, maxie, charlotte, of course, they’re — they’re sad right now, but one day, when this secret comes out and bailey goes back to maxie, you are gonna be the one who’s suffering. Have you thought about that? Okay, fine. It’s gonna hurt everyone. But after the information that we just learned, that peter is responsible for jason’s death, that he imprisoned drew for over two years, it proves that we are doing the right thing keeping bailey safe from peter. Maxie made the right decision. Well, now that peter’s in custody with the wsb, maybe we won’t have to keep up this pretense much longer. From your lips.

[ Clears throat ] Chief, what are you doing here? Chase. Uh, sorry to bother the family on a holiday, but I need to ask you some questions about valentin. May I remind you that this is my house and I like him. I know that you don’t li him, and I know that you two haven’t gotten along for awhile. Spencer: Haven’t gotten along for awhile? The man tried to kill me when I was a child. I guess I missed a lot while I was away. That would be the way your father framed an event from your childhood. Alright, alright, alright, alright. It is thanksgiving. It is a day to be grateful. So if the two of you could put aside your dueling resentments for a few hours, I’d be grateful. Fine. I will always be grateful that in 2021, we finally learned the truth that valentin is helena’s bastard child and he has zero claim to anything cassadine. That’s not being grateful, spencer. He shouldn’t even be able to use the last name “cassadine.”

[ Doorbell rings ]

[ Sighs ] What fresh hell is this? Happy thanksgiving. We brought pies. Alexis? Is this a bad time? You have no idea.


Home along tonight. W-which is why we brought pies — pumpkin and pecan. That’s very generous. But as you can see… I’m far from alone. Happy thanksgiving, everyone. You know, on second thought, maybe a quiet thanksgiving at wyndemere would be better. Good idea. Come on, spence. It’s a holiday. This is your chance to show you’re the bigger man. Well, you promised me your thanksgiving gathering wouldn’t be boring. You sure did deliver on that. Wait. You think this is a good idea? Getting ahead of valentin? You know that’s equivalent to declaring war with him, right? What your daughter did to valentin…that hurt. He’s gonna be mad. He’s gonna want revenge. And when the dust settles, of course he’s — he’s gonna try to undermine drew’s shares of the quartermaine stock. I mean this as a compliment — how very quartermaine of you. Well, I guess you can take the girl out of brooklyn, but you know how the saying goes. I know that I can be reactionary. But over the past year, I — slowly but surely, I — I’ve come to realize that your head is back on your shoulders again. You know, I feel like I can trust your intentions, not just with leo, but — but with the family. Does that include you and me? Before we butted heads about leo, I really felt like we were on our way toward a reconciliation. Where does that leave us now? You have always been so incredibly kind to me — more than I deserve, especially considering the mess and the trauma my arrival caused. Oh, come on. This family thrives on strife and drama.

[ Chuckles ] It just shows you’re one of the tribe. Hmm. I mean, you wouldn’t be a quartermaine if you weren’t stirring things up. I see you redecorated. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I — I thought that it was time for a change. Do you like it? I do. I do. I like it a lot. I’ve got to say, I kind of miss the family photos on the mantel. Yeah, me too. Me too. It was, uh — it was hard putting those away, but they were just always a reminder of everyone that we have lost.

[ Voice breaking ] And now jason’s gone. Mm. Oh. Come here. But sometimes it takes a new perspective to see things — really see things. Willow came to me the other day, and she said — she asked if she could put some pictures wylie had drawn on the fridge. Mm. And all of a sudden, all of a sudden, I got this sense of family again. And pretty soon, there are gonna be drawings that bailey did. They’re gonna be right next to wiley’S. And I know that we could never forget the ones that we have lost, but we’ve really got to find a way to move on with our lives. Yeah. Somehow we do. Well, um… that was, um… a long time coming. Yeah. Yeah. That’s one way to put it. You know, we were supposed to be taking our first steps out as a couple tonight. We couldn’t, obviously, for dire reasons, but… …this sure felt like the right thing to do. Yeah. This big step, it had to be about the two of us first.

[ Cellphone rings ] Mnh-mnh. Mm-hmm. No, no. Oh, man. Listen — don’T. Don’T. Don’T. I’m sorry. I meant to silence it before. It’s probably, like, my mother wondering why we flaked. I’m sure I got plenty of those texts. You know, we should just make both our families wait till tomorrow. Unless… unless, of course, you think I should take off tonight. I’m really sorry, alexis. Honestly. I thought that I was encouraging nikolas to do a good thing. I’m not convinced nikolas could do a good thing anymore, even with an instruction manual. Hey, I-I don’t want to fight. Really, I just came here to — to check on you and see how you were doing. I’m sure that you remember the significance of this day, other than the holiday. It’s been a year since we last saw julian, before he… I’m sorry. I must have blocked that anniversary. As you know, uh, things did not end well with julian and me. Having said that, I know he’s your brother. I know you miss him, and I’m sorry you’re in pain. Thank you. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I would like to try to make at least one person smile instead of cry before this dreadful holiday is over.

[ Doorbell rings ] Are you kidding me? Who could that be? Satan? Hello, natasha.


You’re… late for dinner? Yes, I suppose I am. Oh, come on, natasha. Is that any way to greet a member of your family? Uncle victor. You’re alive. Sp encer?[ Laughs ] Wow. Look at you, all grown up. Well, quite a — quite a chip off the old block, eh? I’m so sorry. I should have warned you all. You knew he was alive and you didn’t say anything? How long did you know? We just need to access the appropriate technology. A-a-a-a thermal scan that can measure body temperature. It can prove if there were signs of life. We need to notify the greek authorities! Hey, listen to me. Listen to me. They did that already. There’s no sign of life. And even though they haven’t found the body, I’m just — I’m — I’m telling you, it — what? It does — it does not look good. We have to prepare ourselves for the worst-case scenario. Okay, you just — y-you just finally found your way home, and — and — and s– and so did drew. Only for us to lose jason? Jason knew the risks that it took, going to greece. In this business, you know, we’re provided with a great life, but it also turns us into people who take action. It’s always a risk. So listen to me, okay? If, uh… we can’t always take for granted that we’re gonna beat the odds and come home. Jason knew that. It’s true. He was… never concerned about risk. He embraced it. I just… I truly never thought it would — would catch up with him. It’s alright. It’s alright.

[ Crying ] The footbridge is a public place. It’s not up to me to say who can use it or not. Do you want me to join you? I know how important you were to jason and how important he was to you. Last time we talked, you… said you wished jason and i had never met, meaning he would still be alive if our paths had never crossed. I shouldn’t have said that. I’m sorry. Don’t be.

[ Sighs ] ‘Cause I feel the same way. So whatever you feel about me, just know, right now, I hate myself, too. Let me guess — valentin is filing charges against me, saying I committed fraud or something? Fraud? No. Why would you say that? Oh, no reason. Probably just shouldn’t have had that second glass of wine with dinner. Come on, what — what are you doing here, mac? It’s thanksgiving. You should be at home with felicia, maxie, the kids. Well, I’d like to be, but when the pcpd has a formal complaint lodged against the department, I have to pay attention. Now, I don’t know the whole story, but valentin is saying that one of my detectives assaulted him over a personal matter.

[ Scoffs ] That’s ridiculous. Chase was just standing up for me. Brook lynn, there’ll be a time and place for you to give your version of things, but this is an extremely serious matter, which is why I’m not with my family on this holiday, and I need to speak to you, detective chase, about what happened, in private. Let me get this straight — you knew that he was alive and you didn’t think to tell me about it? In fairness, neither you nor spencer were speaking to me, and I expected victor to remain in prison. My father warned me away from uncle victor, but as we know, his word is good for nothing. I always thought you were a good man. Well, thank you, spencer. That means a lot to me. I’m sure you’re wondering why I’m here. Well, I first went out to wyndemere, but it was empty, so I came here looking for the family I have left. Alexis, where are your daughters? I was hoping this would be a proper family reunion. They had other plans, fortunately. Ah, well, all is not lost, eh, valentin? I have to say, I had no idea that you and natasha had become so close as to share a holiday together. Funny, I didn’t know that you and valentin were close. We’re not. He’s just my father.


Well, it leaves us with a lot to unpack. But, um… it feels different this time. And why is that? ‘Cause this time, I have hope. You know, over the course of the last year, there were a lot of times where I just didn’t have any. And I think that’s a good sign. Is that enough for now? That’s worth everything, for me.

[ Exhales deeply ] The one thing I do know is that I want you in leo’s life. I mean, julian’s been gone for a year, and, you know, even when he was alive, you have been the most fatherly figure in leo’s life. Always. And despite what’s gone on between us, um… I really regret that we didn’t make it official last year. Me, too. So, I was… oh, I’m — oh, I’m sorry. I’m sorry to interrupt. No, no, no, no. Not at all. Uh, drew, if you’re hungry, you better jump on some of this leftover pizza. It goes quick around here. Actually, olivia’s absolutely right. You should go and hit the pizza now before everybody starts on round two. And in the meantime, I’m gonna go have the staff get a room ready for you. Monica, no, no, no. That’s not necessary. Oh, come on. You need us just as much as we need you, drew. Ned: She’s right. We have a lot to catch up on. What, are you just gonna cut and run on me? No, no. I don’t want to go anywhere. I just don’t want to be presumptuous. You know, I know rocco was gonna spend the night, but what happens in the morning when those kids wake up at breakfast? There are gonna be some awkward questions.

[ Chuckles ] I’ve got a pretty good idea. I say that we set the alarm extra early. Mm-hmm. Then you could sneak out before they wake up.

[ Chuckles ] Uh-oh. What happened there? Where’d you go? Oh, just… I was gonna say that I wanted you to stay because I didn’t want to be alone tonight, but that’s not true. I-I don’t want you to stay because I’M…lonely. I want you to stay ’cause I want to be with you. Well, that’s good, because I want to be with you. So it’s settled then. I’m gonna stay, yeah? Yeah. Okay, we knew that mikkos wasn’t your father.

[ Sighs ] We also know that helena had an affair with an unknown man. That would be me. Oh. Ew! You and helena? Look, natasha, I know you had issues with helena. Of course you did. She killed your mother. But I saw a different side to her. So if anyone needs it spelled out, that makes me 100% cassadine bastard. Told you you’d be eating your words. And you knew about this? Nikolas: No. I knew that victor was alive. I had no idea he was valentin’s father. Have you both had dna tests? Not yet, but I’m perfectly willing to. As am I. And if it turns out to be true, the silver lining, you and I are blood family. No, no. I don’t believe even for a second that my uncle victor would have a son like valentin. Spencer, I’m no fan of valentin’s, but I think you’re putting victor on too high of a pedestal. I didn’t ask for your opinion! I think we should go, my love. Yeah, that’s a good idea. Valentin: I think I’m gonna go, too. No, no! No one’s leaving here until every dish is done. I’ll stay if my son wants me to. Fine by me if you stay. Esme and I will go. Does everything have to be a grand gesture? You mean like throwing me out of the house and saying that I was nothing to you? Talk about grand gestures. How about dressing up like a stalker and then stabbing me? There’s no gesture there?

[ Whistles ] I recognize that blood feuds are something of a cassadine family tradition, but speaking as the patriarch of this family, I’m telling you now that that is all going to change, starting today.


Oh, my god. I’ve gotten you in trouble with your boss, haven’t I? How bad is it? Mac suspended me from the force for six months. Well, when you put it like that, how can I possibly say no? Thank you. You’re so welcome. Well [Sighs] I’m gonna go check on leo. Okay. Well, I think it’s my turn to welcome you back. Welcome back home, drew. I mean, it’s nothing short of a miracle, and one that this family really needs right now. Thank you, ned.

[ Both grunt ] And at the risk of sounding mercenary, I need to warn you that your return has created some complications at elq. How do you mean? Sorting it out is going to put a target on you from valentin cassadine. Now that I have your attention… the cassadines have been plagued for far too long by infighting and family members stabbing each other in the back. Or sometimes, they stab you in the chest. My point exactly. Thank you, spencer. Don’t you — can’t you imagine how much stronger this family would be together? Here’s the thing, victor. You’ve been dead for a long time. You’ve missed a lot. There’s a lot of bad blood going on between us, especially in the last three months. And you know what?

You are not gonna be the one to patch this family together. Frankly, I don’t think anyone can. Well, I hope for all your sakes that that is not the case. There will always be threats to this family lurking in the shadows. I just hope and pray that you will come to realize that this family is a lot stronger with a united front before those threats step into the light.

[ Exhales deeply ] I… I think I should be getting home now. Um, and — and I’ll get right to tracing that call. Georgie’s getting dropped off in the morning, so… you can stay here if you want. Josslyn and carly wouldn’t mind. Thank you for that kind offer. I-I think I just need to… sit with this news so that I can get into a better headspace for georgie in the morning. Hey, we’re just a phone call, you know, away, just if you need anything.

[ Sighs ] Thanks. Y– at — at the risk of speaking out of turn, um… you know, I-I know things were complicated between y-you, jason, and carly after the negated wedding, so I’m just… I’m glad that things got sorted before… before we lost him. I know what jason would want me to say. I should tell you that I don’t blame you. See, that was one of the many roles that jason played in my life. He always had the ability to talk me down. And with him gone, I, uh [Laughs] Those generous thoughts, they don’t come natural. They’re drowned out by loss and the… knowing that jason’s gone and he’s not coming back. I understand that feeling. I don’T… want you to go.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ashland: Thanks for coming.

Nick: Yeah. I’m curious what you and vic have to say. Where is she?

Ashland: Not here. It’s just me. We haven’t had a chance to talk privately since the wedding in tuscany.

Nick: Oh, I’m aware.

Ashland: I think it’s time we cleared the air.

Victoria: Hello, dad.

Victor: Hi, sweetheart. I am so glad I ran into you. We need to talk, you know.

Victoria: Uh, daddy, do you think this is the time or the place for either of us to discuss which one of our companies is going to acquire —

Victor: This is not about business, this is about family.

Victoria: Abby.

Victor: You won’t believe what I’m about to say. Remember that abby went to spain, to valencia? Abby found chance, and she brought him back. Can you believe that? I know.

Abby: Chance? You okay?

Chance: [ Sighs ]

Chance: Absolutely. I am exactly where I want to be. Home. Hey, big guy. Hey, buddy.

Abby: What do you think?

[ Laughs ]

Nikki: I appreciate you helping me put together this little cocktail party at the last minute.

Phyllis: Yeah, my pleasure. My pleasure. Quite shocking that chance is alive — right? — And home. I’m sure abby is relieved.

Nikki: Oh.

Adam: Um, nikki? Is, uh — is dad with you? We were supposed to have a meeting, and he didn’t show up, and he’s not returning my calls, so I’m starting to think he’s avoiding me.

Billy: Look, I appreciate the offer, but I’d rather be alone right now.

Sally: No problem. And I still have to wait for my takeout, and since this seat is open, I hope you don’t mind if i take a seat anyway.

Billy: You know, sally, i don’t want to be rude, but you’re being a little pushy. The truth is, I don’t want your company.

Sally: Wow. That’s kind of hard not to take personally. I was just trying to be nice.

Billy: Oh, come on. Look, I don’t know what’s going on with you and adam. Clearly, something’s going on. But it means that I can’t trust you, so forgive me for wanting to keep my distance.

Sally: Cool. Yeah. No taking offense to that at all. But, you know, it’s not really a good look to be drinking alone before happy hour.

Billy: Yeah, I’m not really concerned about my appearance right now.

Sally: Okay. Well, then let me be concerned for the both of us. So, you sit there, I will sit here. We do not even have to talk to each other. It will at least make you look a little less pathetic. Hi. So you’re the scientist here.

Victoria: Chance is alive?

Victor: Yeah.

Victoria: Oh, gosh. Abby must be — I mean, she must be stunned.

Victor: Oh, she’s ecstatic.

Victoria: She’s got to be thrilled.

Victor: She never completely believed that he was dead. She followed her instinct and brought him home finally.

Victoria: Yes. She showed so much courage. I’m so happy for her. You know what I’m gonna do? I’m gonna stop by on my way back to the office. I’m gonna check on her and chance.

Victor: You don’t need to do that because your mother and i are planning a welcome-home party tonight at the grand phoenix, all right?

Victoria: Tonight?

Victor: Yeah.

Victoria: Oh. Um, well, I appreciate the invitation, but before ashland and I accept the invite, um… maybe we should discuss this chanccomm situation after all.

Phyllis: I’m assuming your pressing, uh…question with victor has to do with the bidding for chanccomm. Wow. This should be a shocking cliffhanger.

Nikki: He’s not avoiding you. He’s just been dealing with more important things. Like letting the family know about chance’s return.

Adam: W– wait. Chance is alive? And he’s back in genoa city? Dad did not tell me any of that.

Nikki: Oh, I’m so sorry. I thought he had. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have mentioned it so casually. Yes, and we’re having a little get-together here tonight, if you can make it.

Adam: Um, well, that’s — that’s incredible news. But…I have plans with connor tonight, so… I’ll have to call abby and chance directly this afternoon.

Noah: Hey. Uh, grandpa left me a message, told me to meet him here.

Nikki: Oh, hi, honey. He’s running a little late, and I have to go over some plans with him, but I will tell him to call you as soon as he can.

Noah: Okay. Oh, and mariah told me the news about chance, and I’ll definitely try to make it tonight.

Adam: Actually, no, um… I was the one that asked dad to reach out to you. ‘Cause I figured you’d be more likely to respond to him than me.

Noah: Yeah, well, you know, you’re not wrong. I thought all the branding work I did for newman media was wrapped up. Please tell me you don’t have any more revisions.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] No. No, actually, I’m — I’m thrilled with your work. Maybe we could talk in private. Do you have a few minutes to head back to the office?

Noah: Yeah. Yeah, sure.

Phyllis: I’d watch out if i were you. I mean, the last thing you want is adam having an influence over noah.

Sally: You know, adam and i aren’t as close as people seem to believe.

Billy: Come on, sally. You showed up at the newman media launch together, you flew in his private jet to tuscany together for victoria’s wedding. I’ve seen you out and about more than I ever saw you and jack. And I know for a fact that you two were dating.

Sally: Yeah, well, you really shouldn’t believe everything you read in the tabloids, especially your own.

Billy: Well, that’s the funny thing about running a media company — you realize that most of the gossip is true.

Sally: Adam is my boss. He signs my checks, so I get you not wanting to confide in me about your business battles. But I need to set the record straight. Chloe and I have complete autonomy over our newman fashion platform, and it’s not like i have to suck up to the boss. There’s absolutely nothing romantic going on between me and adam.

Billy: Well, if that’s true, then that’s good for you. Because there’s no one more capable of tearing apart your soul than adam newman.

Sally: Hey. I’m gonna cut through a few layers of politeness and proper social etiquette here, because i sense that there’s something… much deeper going on. Are you really gonna be okay?

Chance: Look at him.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Chance: Look at that big boy.

Abby: Oh.

Chance: I just can’t believe how perfect our baby is. Look at him.

Abby: He really is, isn’t he?

Chance: Yeah. I’m sorry for what you and mariah went through to bring him into this world. I feel terrible I wasn’t here to protect mariah from stitch or to protect our son. I just thought i’d be home sooner. I’m sorry, abby. Everything’s —

Abby: Stop. Look, I’m not gonna let you blame yourself for anything. The past is the past. And what matters is that you’re home with people who love you.

Chance: I am so grateful.

Abby: In fact, my dad is so excited that you’re back…

Chance: Yeah?

Abby: …That he wants to throw a party to welcome you home.

Chance: [ Chuckles nervously ] Party?

[ Sighs ] It’s my woke-up-like-this migraine medicine.

Chance: Abby, I’m just not sure if I’m ready to face a group like that yet. I don’t — I don’t know. I —

Abby: Hey, hey. You know what? I will call my dad and tell him that we’re canceling.

Chance: Wait. You already told him we’d go?

Abby: [ Scoffs ] I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking. I’m just — I’m so excited that you’re home, I wanted to celebrate. And I thought the security detail’s here, they could keep us safe. And I know that everybody who loves you, they want to see you and hug you. And my dad thought that, you know, maybe a small family gathering would be less stressful for you.

Chance: Mm. Get it over with in one fell swoop, huh?

Abby: Sort of. But you know what? Everyone will understand if i tell them that we’re not up for it.

Chance: No. No, no, hey. Don’t cancel. I’ve missed everyone. I’ve been away for so long, I, uh… I want to feel life again. And people and love.

Abby: Okay.

Chance: Okay. But first, I, uh… I want to feel you again.

Abby: Oh.

Chance: Mmm.

Abby: Mmm. Okay, come on. You’re coming with me.

Chance: Oh, I’m coming with you?

Abby: Mm-hmm.

Chance: Oh. Can’t wait to get up there.

Victor: You know, the only reason that I would be upset with you…if I found out that you made a move for chanccomm to protect billy boy.

Victoria: Oh, no, no. I assure you that is not my motivation. It’s purely business.

Victor: And you know, talking about your business, you selling that division to chancellor was a mistake. You know that.

Victoria: In retrospect, yes, it was a mistake.

Victor: Yeah.

Victoria: Which is why i proposed to ashland that we get it back. I’d like it back in the newman fold.

Victor: So it was your idea.

Victoria: Well…

Victor: I’m happy to hear that.

Victoria: You know, dad, that ashland is 100% behind me. He is my partner, both in business and in life. I know that you’re not exactly happy about his involvement. And to tell you the truth, adam wasn’t very happy, either, and he made that clear when he said that ashland’s participation was a betrayal of newman media.

Victor: You know your brother doesn’t like to be bested.

Victoria: Well, none of us newmans do. Must be something in the genes.

Victor: Actually, it’s very true. Wonder where you got that from. But I’m happy to know that ashland was part of cutting billy boy off at the knees. He was part of humiliating billy boy and making him resign. Now, beyond that, I don’t really care about chanccomm. It’s another piece on a chess board. You and adam are both vying for the prize, so may the best competitor win.

Victoria: And you’re not gonna put your foot on the scale?

Victor: No. No, no, no, no. Means nothing to me. You know, I love my family. And although you and I have often been on the opposite end of some big business deal, I’m very proud of you. And now your mother is waiting for me. So, hopefully, I’ll see you later on, okay?

Victoria: I’ll see you at the party.

Victor: Bye, sweetheart.

[ Door opens ]

Nick: Well, what exactly are we clearing up? I mean, there’s just so much to choose from.

Ashland: Well, I know that you and victoria have made headway in working through your issues. She told me that you had a heart-to-heart about your breakup with phyllis, and I’m sorry to hear that that didn’t work out.

Nick: That is not something that you and I are gonna talk about.

Ashland: Well, okay, then. Back to you and victoria. It’s clear that your fences aren’t completely mended.

Nick: Also none of your business.

Ashland: Well, she’s my wife.

Nick: She’s my sister. It’s a family matter.

Ashland: I’m family now. I mean, do you still regret that victoria and I followed through with the wedding?

Nikki: Well, you and I are in agreement about noah and adam. I’m worried about my grandson. He’s been out of sorts since returning home.

Phyllis: Yeah, I know, which makes him ripe for the pickin’ for adam to take him under his wing.

Nikki: Oh, not necessarily. I — I don’t think that noah is really eager to embrace the new and improved adam. From what I understand, he tolerated working with his uncle for newman media branding, but he really didn’t appreciate being micromanaged over his own designs.

Phyllis: Well, that’s interesting. I don’t know why noah left london. I thought his career was really taking off.

Nikki: You know, sometimes career isn’t the most important thing in life.

Phyllis: Oh, that’s for me, right? ‘Cause you’re insinuating that nick and I broke up because i was too into my career here at the hotel? Honestly, that is ridiculous and unfounded.

Nikki: Okay. Will you calm down? Not every comment in a conversation is about you. Okay. I’m sorry it didn’t work out, for my son’s sake. I mean, I wasn’t thrilled to hear that the two of you were gonna get involved again, nor did I have high hopes that it would work this time… but I hate seeing my son in pain, and nicholas is hurting over your breakup.

Phyllis: That was a very difficult decision for both of us to make.

Nikki: And yet you seem to be doing just fine.

Phyllis: You don’t know what’s going on with me — right? — So don’t pretend to think that you know what’s going on inside of my head, okay?

May you have joy, comfort and peace.

Nikki: I didn’t mean to offend you. I know people deal with heartbreak in different ways.

Phyllis: It’s really easy to judge a relationship when you’re on the outside, isn’t it? Oh. Uh, excuse me. I need to make a phone call.

Victor: Hello, my baby.

Nikki: Hi.

Victor: Are you all right?

Nikki: Yeah. Fine.

Victor: Okay. Sorry I’m late. I ran into victoria and gave her an update on chance.

Nikki: Was everything all right between you and victoria?

Victor: Yes, I told victoria that, um… love and family trumps business.

Nikki: Well, that is true.

Victor: Yeah.

Nikki: Uh, by the way, adam was here looking for you. He thinks you’re avoiding him.

Victor: Why would he think that I’m avoiding him? I’m just stepping back. You know, whatever issues exist between him and victoria, they’ve got to work it out themselves. That’s all. I have a feeling, though, once they both start fighting for chanccomm, things will get heated.

Nikki: Don’t tell me you’re looking forward to that.

Victor: No. ‘Course not.

Nikki: That glint in your eye says otherwise.

Victor: Everything set for tonight?

Nikki: Yeah, it’s almost finished. Dealing with phyllis is always challenging.

Victor: Oh, boy.

Nikki: Which is why I was surprised that you wanted to have the gathering here tonight so soon after her breakup with nicholas.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Nikki: Is that why? You figured nicholas wouldn’t come and wouldn’t create any conflict for victoria and ashland?

Victor: Let’s just say I hope that nicholas will be able to put aside his differences, you know, and show up.

Nikki: Well, I hope so.

Victor: Yeah. This, tonight, is about abby and chance, okay? They’re home, and they’re safe. Everything else is secondary.

Ashland: Yeah, your sister is happy, okay? But I know how much her family means to her. And instead of there being this tension between us when our paths cross, why don’t we get it all out?

Nick: Yeah, well, getting it all out’s not gonna change my mind about anything.

Ashland: I mean, what have i done that you think is so wrong?

Nick: Really? A-are you kidding?

Ashland: Victoria has forgiven me for my past.

Nick: Which I think is insane. I cannot fathom how she is just okay with everything that you’ve done. I mean, you let your best friend die, and then you stole his identity, and then you robbed your mentor of her fortune so you could begin your career. Yeah, I know, you filed a lawsuit against chanccomm, but i know everything in that story is true. I also know that you never would’ve told vic the truth if i hadn’t pursued this. So while she and the rest of the family don’t seem to care about this, i do. I’m never gonna forget it, I’m never gonna think it’s okay, because I think you’re an opportunist with no moral standards. And everyone in the family that are just giving you a pass, i guess because you’re sick. But you know what? If I were to find out tomorrow that you were no longer dying, I’d have to wonder if you were ever sick in the first place.

Ashland: I appreciate your honesty.

Nick: Yeah? Well, do you feel better about this little exchange? Because I don’T. It’s why I’m trying to stay out of it. I’m trying to stay out of victoria’s business. But let me tell you something, ashland. If I find out that you ever hurt victoria or take advantage of her in any way, trust me — you will have an enemy in me for life.

Victoria: [ Clears throat ]

Adam: So, are you still planning on staying in genoa city for a while?

Noah: Why do you ask?

Adam: Well, I would like to bring you into newman media for some more graphic-design projects. I mean, we have a lot of branding for newman fashions, and, actually, we have a more urgent project that needs work.

Noah: A-adam, look, i appreciate the offer, okay, but I already told you, helping to establish the original branding, it was a one-time job. I don’t really like working for big companies, and I want to use my time here to reassess. You know, think about what i want to do next. I’m working on a project for a friend right now, but I’m just not really interested in a job on the scale that newman media would be looking for.

Adam: I respect that. But nothing says it has to be permanent, so just think about it. Could be a great way to stay busy, creative, and forget about whatever drove you away from london. So it sounds like a win/win.

Noah: [ Sighs ] I’ll consider it.

Adam: Great.

Noah: I got to say, man, I’ve, uh — I’ve heard a lot about this new attitude of yours, you know, from my mom, dad, and faith. I’m not gonna lie. I’m having a hard time buying it.

Adam: I get it. We have had a, uh, rough history. There’s no reason that you should welcome me back into your life with open arms.

Noah: But it’s hard not to see that something has changed. That doesn’t mean that I liked all the notes you gave me on my designs.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Well, there is a certain built-in conflict between the creative and the suit, huh?

Noah: [ Chuckles ] That’s actually what I was gonna say. It almost felt normal.

Adam: So maybe the lesson is, don’t write anyone off, ’cause everyone can surprise you.

Sally: Thank you. Can you put that on my bill? In my experience, whenever you’re feeling down, it is better to caffeinate than to numb the pain.

Billy: Thanks for the tip.

Sally: [ Sighs ] I’ve been there. I’m kind of an expert on being a pariah. So I know that sting when everything that you’ve done boomerangs back on you.

Billy: Oh, I don’t know. I’ve taken the pariah status to knew heights — or depths. Depends on how you look at it. And I’ve managed to lose the trust of my most stalwart believer, my mother.

Sally: How’d you do that?

Billy: Wouldn’t your platonic boss love to hear about it?

Sally: [ Scoffs ] You don’t have to give me any details. All I’m saying is I recognize the feelings that you’re having, and they are not fun.

Billy: Oh, I don’t know about that. This, all this, it’s kind of comforting. The rabbit hole is familiar for me. It kind of feels like home.

Sally: Come on. You’re much better than that.

Billy: How the hell would you know?

Sally: From our limited encounters, I am aware that you’re usually acting to protect someone. So I understand the feeling of doing the wrong things for the right reasons. So I happen to think you have a good heart.

Billy: That’s not a common opinion.

Sally: Yeah, well, I often go against the grain. Ah, thank you. My takeout is here, but I would be more than happy to eat it here, and we could get some soup for you.

Billy: I’m good. Thank you. I’ll see you at our next run-in. That’s it, sally. You run back to adam and tell him all about my pathetic state. Please. With age comes more… Hi, my name is tony cooper, and I’m going to tell you about exciting medicare advantage plans that can provide broad coverage and still may save you money on monthly premiums and prescription drugs. With original medicare you are covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits but you have to meet a deductible for each, and then you’re still responsible for 20% of the cost. Next, let’s look at a medicare supplement plan. As you can see, they cover the same things as original medicare, and they also cover your medicare deductibles and coinsurance. But they often have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. Now, let’s take a look at humana’s medicare advantage plans. With a humana medicare advantage plan, hospitals stays, doctor office visits and your original medicare deductibles are covered. And, of course, most humana medicare advantage plans include prescription drug coverage. In fact, in 2020, humana medicare advantage prescription drug plan members saved an estimated $8,400 on average on their prescription costs. Most humana medicare advantage plans include a silver sneakers fitness program at no extra cost. Dental, vision and hearing coverage is included with most humana medicare advantage plans. And you get telehealth coverage with a zero-dollar copay. You get all of this for as low as a zero-dollar monthly plan premium in many areas; and your doctor and hospital may already be a part of humana’s large network. If you want the facts, call right now for the free decision guide from humana. There is no obligation, so call the number on your screen right now to see if your doctor is in our network; to find out if you could save on your prescriptions, and to get our free decision guide.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Sally: I have to tell Y… sorry. I didn’t realize you were in a meeting. I’m sally. We met at victoria and ashland’s wedding in tuscany.

Noah: Yeah, I remember. You designed my aunt’s wedding dress. Made quite the splash.

Sally: Happy you noticed. I thought you lived in london. Are you here visiting?

Noah: More of a relocation.

Adam: I’m trying to take advantage of having a famous artist in the family by convincing him to do some work for us.

Sally: Well, that would be amazing. I love your aesthetic. The banding you did for newman media was so fresh. Could we maybe get you for newman fashion? ‘Cause you would be perfect.

Noah: I’m not really looking for work right now, but I told adam that I’d think about it.

Adam: Mm-hmm. And if I do convince him to come work for us, you’re gonna have to get in line, because I have a project that I need him for first.

Sally: Well, if you let me bend your ear for a second, i think I could get you to see why we would be a great fit.

Noah: Hard sell. I respect it. Look, I’ll consider the offer, okay? Thanks, guys.

Adam: You bet. Came on a little strong there.

Sally: Well, most of the time, that’s what works. Suddenly have a problem with my approach?

Adam: Um, no, not necessarily. What’s up?

Sally: Well [Clears throat] I just ran into billy abbott at society.

Adam: [ Sighs ] I thought I told you to stay out of my business with billy.

Sally: Okay, well, I wasn’t trying to butt in. It was an accidental encounter. But I do have a question. I know that you intended to hit billy where it hurt, but was your plan to do serious psychological damage?

Adam: Right, because billy is the victim in all this.

Sally: [ Scoffs ]

Adam: But, no, I did not intend to give the man a nervous breakdown. What exactly did he say?

Sally: Nothing about chanccomm. He knew better. It was just…sad. He was drinking, and he seemed depressed. And then he said something about going down a rabbit hole like he’d done in the past.

Adam: Why would he say all of that to you?

Sally: I was just trying to make conversation while I was waiting for my takeout, and i don’t know if he was looking for sympathy, but I sort of did feel for the guy.

Adam: Interesting.

Billy: Hey.

Lily: Hey.

Billy: Uh-oh. Do I sense overworked energy?

Lily: Yeah, uh-huh. How’d you guess? Oh, where have you been? Are you okay?

Billy: Yeah, I’m great now that I’m home with you. What’s, uh — what’s going on here? What is all this?

Lily: Well, jill’s assistant just sent over a ton of chancellor files, which I’m just now getting to because jill also thought that, as part of my onboarding as ceo, that I should go on a listening tour.

Billy: That sounds like fun.

Lily: Oh, yeah. Mm-hmm. It was. I had back-to-back video chats with everybody that works there to find out what they do.

Billy: Okay, not so much fun. But a great way to familiarize yourself with the company.

Lily: Yeah, no, it’s great, but I barely made a dent because this is a massive conglomerate, right? Like, it’s a huge company.

Billy: Yeah, I am aware of that.

Lily: I mean, today alone, i spoke with the pharmaceutical division, engineering, construction.

Billy: Oh, you would look really good in a hard hat.

Lily: Yeah, mm-hmm.

Billy: Hey. You okay?

Lily: No, I’m — I’m overwhelmed, right? Like, this is overwhelming. I just — I don’t have the experience for this. You know, I mean, the press is gonna be all over my credentials, and I’m just wondering, like, what if this hurts chancellor industries? Or what if this reflects poorly on jill? Like, did I make a huge mistake?

[ Sighs ]

Dominic: [ Crying ]

Abby: [ Gasps ] Hi. Hi, my sweet boy.

[ Gasps ] Hello. Are you okay?

Chance: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: Is everything alright?

Chance: You want me to give it a try? I got to learn how to do this.

Abby: Alright, here you go. You want to go see dad?

Chance: Hey, big guy.

Abby: You got him?

Chance: Yeah.

Abby: Oh.

Chance: Hey, big buddy. How you doing?

Abby: Hey, I’m gonna go grab a bottle.

Chance: Cool.

Abby: Okay. [ Chuckles ]

Chance: Hey, buddy. How you doing? How you doing? Yeah. You know me? Yeah, it’s pretty cool up in here, isn’t it? Not bad. Look at you. Yeah.

Abby: I got the bottle. Look at you.

Chance: I’m kind of getting this down.

Abby: You want some?

Chance: Yeah.

Abby: You want a bottle?

Chance: Here you go, bud. Want some of that?

Abby: Ooh. You know, I have to admit that, before this moment, devon has been the only one to get him to calm down without feeding him. He’s got the magic touch. I guess so do you.

Chance: Yeah, well, I’m glad he’s been here for both of you.

Abby: Yeah. Yeah, he has been. He’s been there for dom, and he’s been concerned about me and you. He’s been the best friend i could hope for. He’s been there for our son. Hey. Hey, my guy. Hey. Hi. I love you.

Victoria: Why? Why are you threatening my husband? And why would you assume that he’s out to hurt me or take advantage of me, nicholas? So much for your promise to stay out of my personal life.

Nick: I was being honest — at his request.

Ashland: That’s true. I wanted to find out how he felt about things.

Victoria: What would be the advantage of that? Look, why? Why do you refuse to give ashland a chance to prove that he’s a different person now? People change, nicholas, and ashland is worthy of my love and my trust.

Nick: You don’t understand.

Victoria: Look, I can’t get into this right now. I have more immediate things on my mind. I’m guessing that you haven’t heart that chance is still alive, and he and abby are back home.

Nick: No.

Victoria: He survived the explosion. And somehow, abby knew it, and she found him.

Ashland: That’s incredible.

Nick: Thank god.

Victoria: I know. So mom and dad are throwing them a welcome-home party tonight at the grand phoenix, and we should go. So I’m hoping that we can put aside this tension and just be there for chance and abby. Doesn’t your family deserve the best?

Nick: When did all this come about? The last I heard, jack and ashley were in spain, looking for abby. And the only reason I know that is ’cause I was at devon’s, talking to him, and then dad showed up.

Victoria: Look, the only reason I heard the news is because I ran into dad at crimson lights. I’m sure it wasn’t a personal slight. It all just happened very quickly.

Nick: Well, I’m trying not to think about dad right now.

Victoria: Nicholas, I’m so sorry that things have disintegrated between the two of you, but it feels like it’s — feels like it’s part of a pattern.

Nick: What kind of pattern?

Victoria: Just, sometimes, it — it seems like you blame others for what’s happening in your life when you’re the one who’s alienating those around you.

Nick: That’s how you see things?

Victoria: I’m just saying that you’re the one who always thinks that you’re in the right, and everybody else is wrong, but maybe you should take a look at yourself and ask yourself, “is there something that I’m doing that’s at the root of all this?

Nick: See you at the party.

Adam: I wouldn’t feel much sympathy for billy.

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Sighs ] This is not great timing, but i have to answer this. Hey, uh, I’m in a meeting with sally right now. Can I call you back in a bit?

Chelsea: [ Scoffs ] Sure. Sure. You let me know when it’s convenient for you to hear about my plans and discuss our son.

Adam: And she hung up on me. Once again, I handled that perfectly.

Sally: Maybe call her back.

Adam: C-can you and I finish talking later?

Sally: Yeah. I’ll see you soon.

Lily: [ Sighs ]

Billy: I’m not used to seeing self-doubt on you. Hey, this isn’t easy, okay? There’s a lot going on right now in a short amount of time, and you just need to give yourself a little bit of a break and take a breath. I’ve said it before, but you are going to kill this, okay, and you are the most important thing and the most successful thing to come out of chanccomm.

Lily: Yeah, up until now.

Billy: That is my responsibility. And as far as your credentials go, you’re qualified. I believe that. I know my mother does. She would never risk her legacy or her company if she didn’t 100% believe in you.

Lily: I just don’t think that my experience matches up to the job I’m being asked to do.

Billy: You have a ton of work in marketing, okay? And let’s be honest, running a company like this, it’s all about positive public perception.

Lily: Are you just flattering me ’cause you love me?

Billy: Yes.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: And no. I’m flattering you because you deserve it. You earned this. You are, by far, the hardest-working entrepreneurial person that I know, and you made me a better man — in business and in a relationship. And you’re gonna be great. You really are, and I couldn’t be more happy or more proud of you.

Chance: [ Sighs ] Hey.

Abby: Hey. Are you sure you’re up for this?

Chance: Yeah, yeah, I think i can face the pressure of a champagne toast and a couple welcome-home hugs. Bring it on.

Abby: Okay. You know, everyone understands what you did. I mean, they understand why you had to do it.

Chance: Yeah, the last thing I wanted to was hurt anyone. But as long as I got you by my side, I think I can face anything.

Abby: Mm. Good.

Best of my love by black pumas feat. Sofia reyes

Ashland: Well, I never thought I’d be the one to say this, but weren’t you being a little hard on your brother? It seems like nick wants to work things out. That’s why I asked him to come over and talk.

Victoria: I’m kind of stunned that you’re coming to his defense after the way that he treated you.

Ashland: Oh, well, I’ve been called a lot of things over the years, and nick’s not wrong about the things that I’ve done. I’m, frankly, more impressed with the love that you and your brother have for each other. It’s — it’s quite special.

Victoria: Who knew that one of your first duties as a newman would be to play family peacemaker?

Ashland: Well, after doing battle over all these years, it’s rather refreshing. Maybe death has changed my perspective on this.

Victoria: No, no, no, no. No talk about death. Not — not — just positive thoughts during this new treatment, okay? Are you sure that you’re up for a night with my family?

Ashland: If you want to go, so do I. Because wherever you are is where I want to be.

Lily: See, I love your support, but it just makes me want you by my side even more because we make a great team.

Billy: We do, and we’re gonna continue to make a great team in our relationship, but out there, you are the boss of chancellor…

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: …And I’m gonna be fine. I’m gonna land on my feet.

Lily: Does that mean that you dropped the idea you told me about earlier?

Billy: It’s still in the brainstorming stage. I laid a little bit of groundwork, but nothing much. But right now, the only thing i want to focus on is you, because I think we should advantage of this time we have together because you are about to be a very, very busy woman.

Victor: Jill is coming from a business meeting and she will be here soon and she’s picking up ashley on the way.

Nikki: Great. I left word with nicholas, but i haven’t heard back yet.

Victoria: Hello. [ Chuckles ]

Victor: Oh, my goodness.

Victoria: Hi, papa.

Victor: So beautiful.

Victoria: Thank you. Love you, mom.

Victor: Ashland, nice to see you.

Ashland: Nice to see you, sir.

Victoria: I let nicholas know about the party, but I’m not sure that he’s coming.

Nikki: Well, I hope that everybody will be able to set aside their differences for this very important occasion.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Chance: [ Sighs ]

Abby: You ready?

Chance: As I’ll ever be.

[ Chuckles ]

Victor: Well, my goodness. Look who’s there.

Nikki: Ah, they’re here.

Victor: My goodness.

Victoria: Hi.

Interview with Alexa Mansour, Nicolas Cantu, Hal Cumpston and Julia Ormond

TV Interview!

Alexa Mansour, Nicolas Cantu, Hal Cumpston and Julia Ormond

Interview with Alexa Mansour, Nicolas Cantu, Hal Cumpston and Julia Ormond of “The Walking Dead: World Beyong” on AMC by Thane 12/3/21

This was my first interview for the site. We had some technical problems, but it worked out well in the end. It was great to listen to the actors talk about the final episode of the show.

Question:   Congratulations on a great season of the show. Now, the show was, as far as I know, entirely filmed in Richmond, Virginia, or if not, mostly filmed there. I was wondering if each of you could give me a recommendation for a great restaurant or spot to do or to go to the next time I’m in Richmond?

Alexa:  The Jefferson Hotel. Go to the Jefferson hotel; get a dirty martini. It’s great.

Hal:  Yeah, the Jefferson hotel is awesome. They’ve got an alligator out at the front, because apparently they used to have alligators walking around the hotel there in the 30s or something. What else is there? Where did we all go for that dinner by the river? That was awesome.

Alexa:  What was it called?

Nick:   The Lilly Pad? I’m pretty sure it’s the Lilly Pad.

Alexa:  It was the Lilly Pad. It was the Lilly Pad.

Hal:  The Lilly Pad. Hell yeah.

Nick:   My shouts out for Richmond are this hot chicken sandwich place called Hot Chick.

Hal:  Yeah, I was about to say “Hot Chick.”

Nick:   Hot Chick sandwich place, and I would go to the skate park a lot called Treasure Island. It’s a DIY; that place is sick. Those are my two shout outs for the city of Richmond. And the river is just beautiful, like just finding little stuff to do along the river. That’s great, too.

Question:   Did ever of you go to GWARbar ever, or that was off limits?

Nick:   What’s GWARbar?

Hal:  I walked past it once.

Question:   The heavy metal band GWAR has a bar/restaurant in Richmond.

Nick:   Wait, what? Do they? My friends just went to a GWAR show. I didn’t know they had a bar in Richmond.

Hal:  [unitelligible] skating now.

Nick:   I didn’t know they had a bar. Man, I missed that. Thank you.

Hal:  You could have taken photos at it and pretended you were cool.

Question:   Congratulations on this amazing season and wrapping up the show. It’s just been fantastic. My question to you, and this is open to anyone, looking back, your character started the series with a very distinct view of how the world worked, and most importantly, how it should work and what those rules should be and how you should function. I’m wondering how your character’s vision changed by the end of the series. Who wants to go?

Nick:   I’ll go. I’ll go. I think Elton has changed was very much from kind of spectating to being a part of everything now, but, also, he saw the gray area of the world more in season two. Season one you see him just kind of being this, I guess, more of a pacifist, but in season two as he accepts the world for what it is, he starts participating in the more gray aspects of apocalypse life.

Hal:  Yeah, that was a real same this season…I also thought growing up was it a theme of the show.

Alexa:  Yeah, I agree with that. I think growing up for sure. I’m just realizing what’s important and what’s worth actually stressing yourself out over, you know, like, I feel like in the first season, at least for Hope, she was really very bitter towards everybody. She just was so ready to destroy anybody that she thought was bad. Second season, she became a little bit more methodical about the way that she approached things, like realizing like sometimes you do have to kind of – not sleep with the enemy, but sleep with the enemy, to get what you want and to get ahead. Nick’s looking at me like –

Nick:   What do you mean by that? Sleep with the enemy?

Alexa:  Like the CRM was the enemy, and she went undercover in that area, which I feel like first season she would have been like, “Screw this; I’m not doing this.”

Nick:   True.

Hal:  I’ve never slept with anyone let alone the enemy.

Alexa:  I’ve never slept with anyone either.

Julia:  I’ve [unintelligible] slept with people, but, I don’t know, I sort of feel with Elizabeth, the pragmatism of being committed to an agenda that was really tough and seemed really clear just became much more complicated for her and clearly hadn’t worked [unintelligible] defeated by that.

Question:   This is what it’s for Alexa, how was it manag[ing] to get the F bomb in on the last episode?

Alexa:  I didn’t even know I had an F bomb in the last episode.

Hal:  Yeah, what the hell? You fully got a fuck in there.

Question:   No, that was the previous episode, sorry.

Alexa:  I didn’t know that that was as big deal. I didn’t know that was like an actual thing that you couldn’t do. I figured because it’s television and whatnot, but people actually think it’s a really big deal, and I say that word all the time.

Hal:  Alexa is awesome like that. She’s such a swear bear.

Alexa:  [laughs]

Hal:   She doesn’t sleep with anyone, but she sure as hell swears a lot.

Alexa:  Yeah. No, I’m actually pretty excited that I got that F bomb in there, because Hal didn’t get it.

Hal:  Yeah, I didn’t even get as much as like a “crap” or a “shit.”

Alexa:  Because Silas doesn’t talk. You have to talk more.

Hal:  It is so weird with the ruling. I think, because there’s so much violence, they’re not really allowed to like swear and have violence, but it’s like is killing someone not a little bit more offensive than swearing?

Alexa:  Not if what you’re killing was a rotting piece of flesh.

Nick:   We kill people in this show.

Hal:  There’re people being killed.

Nick:   Yeah. We don’t shy away from human death.

Hal:  I’ve killed nearly as many people as I’ve killed zombies.

Alexa:  You’ve killed people on the show?

Nick:   People die in the show.

Hal:  I kill two people, I think. Yeah, I do…My two father figures.

Nick:   That’s a shame.

Hal:  That is a shame.

Thane:  Nicholas, tell us how they did the special effects and such at the end, where you lost part of your arm.

Nick:   So, for that last shot, we were kind of coming over the hill in Portland, and they gave me like a blue like sleeve to put my arm through. They just kind of said, “Don’t move it.” So, I just kind of stood with my arm just still. Then, I guess they blue screened it out. But then for one scene where I had my arm chopped off and I’m sitting in that hospital bed, my arm is just a pool noodle. I always thought that was funny that they just put a pool noodle and wrapped and bandaged, like, “That’s his arm,” and my actual arm was under some covers. So, that’s how they achieved the effect of me not having an arm.

Hal:  They toyed with the idea of actually doing that.

Nick:   They were thinking about actually chopping it off. It was not them thing; it was a me thing for the character, where I wanted to go all the way. But my doctor said “no.” So, we had to do blue screen and pool noodles.

Alexa Mansour, Nicolas Cantu, Hal Cumpston and Julia Ormond

Hal:  His therapist said “yes.”

Nick:   Therapist said “yes;” Doctor said “no.”

Alexa:  Did you tell the doctor how much they were gonna pay you for the arm?

Nick:   Ah, it’s a weird thing with me and my doctor. So, I feel like they would raise my prices if I did something like that. So, I just kept it chill.

Hal:  Nick’s sleeping with his doctor.

Nick:   I kept it chill. So, it was able to be figured out basically with special effects and movie magic

Thane:  When you read in your script that you were bitten and then cured, were you disappointed that you didn’t get to be a walker and/or die on screen?

Nick:   A little bit, actually, because ever since I signed on to The Walking Dead thing, I was like, “Okay, the whole experience would be, get in the show, kill some things, and then get killed,” because that’s like the cycle of The Walking Dead universe. So, I was wanting to be a part of it, but, hey, maybe my day will come someday. I got my arm chopped off. That’s part of it. I’m getting like drip fed little apocalyptic checkmarks on a bucket list. So, maybe one day I’ll get to die. It’s a start, but you know, zombies. [laughs]

Question:   Pollyanna came from the main show, The Walking Dead, as Jadis, but now she’s on World Beyond. She’s a completely different character. So, what was it like working with her? Because compared to the main show and this one, she’s a force to be reckoned with.

Alexa:  I didn’t know. I mean, I knew she was on the original one; I didn’t know that she was playing a completely different character. I thought that it was like, maybe just a different side of her of the character. Like maybe the character went through some shit and came out. You know, when you go through a hard time [and] when you come out you’re like a completely different person, but that’s kind of interesting to know. She’s awesome to work with. She’s like, insanely talented. So, regardless of like, different character or not, she was great to work with.

Hal:  Yeah, Pollyanna. Very fun to work with. Yeah.

Alexa:  And it was sick, knowing that someone from the original show was crossing over. Because I was like, “Oh, there’s there’s hope.” Not no pun intended.

Hal:  I like getting to work with my British brothers and sisters. They’re a little bit less American, so it’s fun.

Question:   Julia, the moment at the end of the series finale, it was just so beautiful, and watching Elizabeth, the realization come across Elizabeth, as she kind of gets a sense of what’s going on. I’m curious, do you think she knew that Huck was torn as much as she was between this life she’d been living undercover and her duty to the CRM?

Julia:  I have to confess, I haven’t actually seen how they ended up cutting it together, but I do feel the Elizabeth buried any fears that she had about Jennifer and her relationship. And I know that is something that kind of is in pretty much every scene that they have together, is this question of how much Elizabeth cares or connects and the things that Jennifer’s gone through. But I don’t think Elizabeth, by the time that she’s arrested and put into [a cell], I don’t think she has completely been able to – I think she’s emotionally distracted. I don’t think she’s been completely able to quite admit the degree to which she’s made some – she’s made some legitimate sort of mistakes, as a leader, in terms of the vulnerability. So, it’s understandable to me that Jadis does comes at her with the things that she does, and I think Elizabeth just hasn’t really realized how much of a distraction it’s been, the emotional stuff. So, I think it’s gut wrenching for her that Jennifer’s not connecting with her as a mom as a result of choices that Elizabeth has made and found family in other people to be worthy of being loyal to, and I think that destroys her.

Hal:  Things are so bleak for Elizabeth at the end there.

Alexa:  I mean, she kind of deserves it, no offense.

Hal:  Everyone is throwing hate.

Alexa:  She destroyed our home.

Julia:  Well, she does have to make some tough decisions, but yeah, I guess so.

Question:   For all of you, did any of you get to take home any kind of either weapons, or items from the set?

Hal:  Hell yeah, they sorted us out.

Alexa:  Yeah.

Hal:  I’ve got my wrench. I’m moving to a new house and I’m going to get it in a glass box.

Alexa:  I took my S-pole

Nick:   I don’t know if you can see it. I’m gonna get the pocket fisherman. I’m going to bring that out.

Hal:  Gotta get the pocket fisherman Nick. Do your mother fucking thing.

Alexa:  I have the S-pole.

Question:   Oh, it’s somewhere in the other room?

Alexa:  Yeah, mine’s in the other [room].

Nick:   The pocket fisherman; rock it up with the pocket fisherman. It’s got all the action. It’s just sitting here. I got to keep the suit. I got to keep this. They gave me like the little archeology bag; they gave me the whole thing.

Hal:  Nick uses that fisherman as like a pickup line.

Nick:   Yeah, when I’m bored.

Hal:  Nick, demonstrate. What do you do? Go on; demonstrate.

Nick:   I say, “Hey, baby. I’m trying to do this interview. So let’s move on.”

Hal:  He always says baby.

Nick:   Always with the baby.

Question:   How about you Julia?

Julia:  [laughs] No, I got a great mug as a takeaway that had a Walking Dead design on it from one of the crew members that was super fun, but no. I don’t want to take home weapons. I take home my memories.

Hal:  Did Elizabeth really have weapons? I feel like other people did her dirty work sort of.

Julia:  Excuse me! No, she had like the stiletto pen thing.

Hal:  Oh, true. I remember that from the show.

Julia:  But I mean, also, kind of like the way that we had set about it in terms of Elizabeth’s stuff is that she could kind of…turn anything into a weapon instead of sort of – yeah, she had a stiletto that was sort of kept [in] the jacket somewhere, but the idea is that she could take any weapon and use it sort of as somebody who’s got a military background and training to do that stuff, but you don’t really get to see that in the series.

Hal:  There wasn’t enough time for anything.

Thane:  [Hal], all of the characters went through so much; yours seemed to go through the most changes all throughout the series. Which part did you enjoy the most, and, in your opinion, does Silas stay loyal to his friends, or does he [go over to] the dark side or the CRM?

Hal:  Well, yeah, he does really change, because at the start he’s scared to say anything or look anyone in the eye. Then, at the end of it, he’s almost like a pretty normal, normal-ish person, which maybe just is my acting not making sense that I came back and decided it was a new character, or it’s really good emotional range, or like range to go from that, from the start to the end, but who knows? That’s for the people to decide as to whether he’s loyal or going to the CRM. Again, I’d like to think that he thinks for himself, and that’s an option for him that he doesn’t know. Maybe he is half seeing what’s going on with the CRM and checking it out and then seeing if he really wants to take it down. But I do get the sense that now that these little young rebel rebel kids have got a taste for taking down the establishment, I feel like that’s gonna happen again. They’re not able to sit still and just deal with living in the post apocalyptic world. They have to be like fighting something constantly. They’re all going to Portland and stuff. I mean, they could just chill out. That’s what I like to do, just chilll.

Thane:  Were you a fan of The Walking Dead before you auditioned for the show?

Hal:  I’d never seen any of it…I hadn’t seen it before, but, obviously, because I hadn’t lived under a rock, I knew what The Walking Dead was. It’s like a humongous thing, but then I got to watch, and it was actually pleasant. I was sort of surprised. I thought it would be this particular thing, but I watched the first two seasons as I was getting the callbacks. You get to another point, they’re like, “Oh, I think they’re gonna make an offer, blah blah blah,” and it was my first American audition. So, it was all very surreal for me. Then I’m able to watch the show, and I’m like, “I actually like this show. This is crazy. It’s a pretty cool [show].” The first season, it’s almost a bit like it has an independent movie feel, but with a budget, and the acting is pretty awesome and fresh and interesting.

Alexa:  Yeah, I only watched the first couple seasons. I think I stopped at season three, but I really liked it. I just tend to fall out with TV shows and just forget to keep watching them, and I lose my spot.

Nick:   Yeah, I watched the first two seasons as well, I think, when they put them on Netflix, and then I tapped out, because I was like ten or something, and it was just a lot of blood and guts. But my older brother kept watching it, and it was always in the household. Then, he was like, “Hey, come check this out,” when Glenn died, and he just showed me his brains getting splattered on TV. I was like, “Oh, great, dude. Awesome.” So, it was always in my house, but I only kept up with seasons one and two.

Question:   All of you, for the final episode, were there any scenes that were very hard to pull off when it came to either the dialogue or during the stunts?

Alexa:  Yeah, there was, I think it was in season two, either episode one or two, but when Hope has a fight with Candice, before she gets pushed against the wall and eaten alive or whatever, that scene took all day, because we had to keep switching between me and the stunt double. So, that was probably one of the longest, hardest scenes that I had to do. Yeah, I’m very happy that I made it through it in one piece.

Nick:   Yeah, by the end of season two, we were there, I think, from January to June, so once it got it started getting closer to summer, the days were getting hotter, and the season was ending, so we had to do all of our stunts. We shot every season in Richmond; it was really nice, but once we got to the summer, it got hotter, and [there were] just bigger set pieces. There was the whole battle at the the community village where the CRM comes in and Elton’s about to get executed, that whole like battle piece where the building blows up and everything, that was multiple days. That was a lot of prep, but it turned out awesome. That was probably the hardest.

Hal:  They blew up the barn. That was nuts.

Nick:   That was crazy. Did you see that?

Hal:  Remember there was a fire; the whole fire department was just sitting there having to watch it burn.

Nick:   Yeah, because it was a controlled burn or something. They’re just sitting on the sidelines.

Hal:  Yeah, the fire people couldn’t handle it.

Nick:   Yeah, but it was sick.

Hal:  It was like Pavlov’s dogs.

Question:   How about you Julia?

Julia:  I think, honestly, as an actor, the the first episode scene, just from a technical point of view, I had so much. [laughs] I had this six page speech for Elizabeth. I don’t think [unintelligible] all of it, but I was absolutely terrified, because I think the way that it shot, it’s kind of like you don’t have – I think when you see it come together, it looks as if it could have been chopped up. [laughs] It was just kind of –

Alexa:  You killed it, though.

Julia:  Oh, my God. Thanks, I appreciate that. Yeah, it was just really challenging, because it was also, how do I make this interesting instead of kind of having people go, “Oh, my God, when is she going to shut up?” But yeah, I think just that I sort of ended up with something that was a bit kind of technical, but that was probably my most challenging…I think, as an actor, the scenes that I love are the scenes where you don’t have any tech, so being given something [laughs], it was sort of like, “Oh, no!”

Hal:  What was the question?…Sorry, my phone ran out of charge; now I’m on my computer.

Question:   I was asking, were there any scenes of stunt work or dialogue that was very challenging during this whole season?

Hal:  I don’t know; everyone else has answered. I don’t know, the scenes where I don’t – like a lot of the time, Silas doesn’t have many lines, and that’s a little bit like odd sometimes, like sort of the opposite. You know what I mean? I wouldn’t mind a few extra lines, so I don’t have to do all this, like, “I’m not saying anything, but I’m acting.” Sometimes it’s fun just to be able to go to set and say some shit. We’re there for so long, like six months. So, honestly, I feel like the challenging part probably was there was so much time in between, because all the storylines were so caught up. So, actually, we weren’t really  working that much. Well, I wasn’t. I love being on set. I love being on set.

Julia:  I think one of the really hard things was actually doing it under COVID circumstances, because when you’re rehearsing, you’ve got all this stuff around your face. You can’t really kind of see the reactions of people; you’re not interacting. I felt like I [wasn’t] able to interact with crew in the same way. So, there’s this kind of block from having this human experience. That is the sort of joy of of putting together a story and a collaborative process. The COVID restrictions has had a huge impact, I think, on the experience, just in general, of being an actor.

Hal:  Yeah, I’m so glad hopefully it’s [over]. I mean, I don’t even know. Is it coming to an end? But, yeah, it gets a bit depressing a little bit when everyone’s wearing masks. Also, yeah, taking direction from a director, and you can’t really see what their emotions are or how they’re feeling, because they’re wearing a big mask and a face shield.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Kate: That’s strange. Closed? Hmm?

[Soft music]

[Gasps] What the?

Roman. What’s all this?

Roman: You gave me the word. Now it’s my turn.

[Jazzy music]

Gwen: Right, so it was down to the dregs at the hotel lobby shop, but I did manage to get some very tasty double chocolate bars.

Xander: Forget the granola bars.

Gwen: Don’t tell me you’ve squirreled away some peanut butter pretzels?

Xander: No. Even better. I was thinking we could go out.

Gwen: Out? Out? As in a restaurant, out?

Xander: Yeah, why not? Treat ourselves to a nice dinner at julie’s place like a couple of civilized human beings. What do you say?

Gwen: I say that sounds absolutely wonderful, but how are we gonna pay for that, hmm? ‘Cause last time I checked, our bank accounts were both pinned on empty.

Xander: Who said anything about paying for it?

Gwen: I don’t know what you mean.

Xander: Come on. You’ve never heard of dine and dash?

Gwen: Oh, you.

Chloe: Oh my god, brady. Brady, please wake up. Please wake up.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Victor: Just when you thought the stock couldn’t go any lower. Maggie? The hell’d you do with my antacids?

Gabi: What is it? Titan had another bad day?

Victor: Titan is just fine. It’s the thought of you two darkening my doorstep that gives me a problem.

Jake: Ah, you see? Victor’s not fazed by a little downward blip in the market.

Gabi: Why should he be? He knows that titan’s gonna end up on top, even without having a ceo.

Victor: How long did you two rehearse this transparent little play?

Jake: Are we wrong about the ceo position?

Victor: I still haven’t appointed anyone. I’m studying my options.

Jake: Well, then today is your lucky day.

Gabi: Victor kiriakis, your search is over.

Chloe: Oh my god. Oh my god. Brady, please. Please wake up. Please wake up. Brady, can you hear me? Oh, thank god. Oh, thank god. Thank god.

Brady: What, chloe…?

Chloe: Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t move. I think you’re really hurt.

Brady: Chloe. What is it? What happened?

Chloe: I-I-I don’t know. I just–I just found you like this.

Brady: Like what? What is–what?

Chloe: I don’t–I don’t know. Did–did someone stab you?

Brady: I don’t think so. What are you talking about?

Chloe: Like, where–where is all this blood coming from?

Brady: I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know.

Chloe: Oh my god. Serena: It’s my 3:10

Gwen: You want us to go to julie’s and pull a dine and dash?

Xander: Don’t tell me you’re not familiar?

Gwen: Yes, I am actually quite well-versed in the concept.

Xander: Well, then. You know how rewarding it can be. Not only do we get a tasty dinner, it would be quite fun. I mean, we’d order the most expensive thing on the menu and leave julie to pay for it. It would be great.

Gwen: You mean steal from julie?

Xander: After the way she’s treated us, it’s she least she owes us. A nice, free dinner.

Gwen: Well, I definitely can’t argue with that. But, you know, with all these recent brushes with the law, don’t you think that it’s just best to keep our noses and everything else clean?

Xander: I don’t think we’ll do time for a dine and dash. I mean, remember when I stole that whole bottle of fine scotch from julie? All she made me do was pay restitution.

Gwen: So you’re banking on julie not calling the cops, then?

Xander: I can’t believe how worried you are about this. It’s kind of adorable.

Gwen: Well, look, it’s just– I don’t really think it’s worth the risk for just an average, mediocre night out, that’s all.

Xander: Average? Mediocre?

Gwen: I mean, the meal. I don’t mean you, the company. You know, and well, we just got out of all that mess with trask, didn’t we?

Xander: All right, all right, you have a point. I guess even a michelin-star meal isn’t worth another tangle with the law. We won’t dine and dash.

Gwen: Okay. So back to the very tasty chocolate bar, then?

Xander: Absolutely not. I promised you a dinner, and a dinner you shall have. I’ll even going to pay for it.

Gwen: How?

Xander: Well, let’s see. Look what I received in the mail today. Plenty of credit to spare.

Roman: Cheers.

Kate: Just cheers? I mean, how am I gonna toast if I don’t know what I’m toasting?

Roman: Well, okay then. Let’s drink to surprise.

Kate: Okay. That works. Mmm, that’s lovely.

Roman: I thought you’d like it.

Kate: So okay. So what is all of this? Why the champagne?

Roman: All right, you know what? I was thinking you finally gave me the go ahead to–as I so eloquently put it, romance the hell out of you. But so far–so far, I haven’t really lived up to my end of the bargain. All right? I took you on one date, to a wedding that ended in disaster.

Kate: That was utter disaster.

Roman: Yes. So I thought we deserved better. You deserved better. So consider this a do-over. Madam, may I show you to your seat?

Kate: Oh, then. Yes, you can, sir. Thank you.

[Soft romantic music]

Ava: What do you mean, kristen’s van didn’t make it to statesville? Where is she?

Rafe: Well, we’ve had units searching for the last hour. And I finally just got word that they found the van and the two guards who were accompanying her.

Ava: Found them where?

Rafe: Well, apparently, kristen was able to overpower them and forced the van from the road.

Ava: Wow.

Rafe: Yeah. And in the confusion of the crash, she was able to get away.

Ava: That sounds like a daring escape. Couldn’t have been easy to pull that off.

Rafe: Yeah, exactly. Which is why I don’t believe for a second that she did it by herself.

Ava: What do you mean?

Rafe: I mean that she had help. And I think that I’m staring at her accomplice as I speak.

Victor: So you two think I should hire you to be ceos of titan?

Gabi: Why not? We have more than enough experience.

Jake: You want to hear our pitch?

Victor: Why not? I could use a good laugh.

Gabi: Well, you know, laugh all you want, but we’re the only ones that can save your company from its current free-fall.

Victor: Why you?

Gabi: Well, we have executive experience. We have worked at titan before, so we can hit the ground running.

Jake: Right. We’re very familiar with the day-to-day operations.

Gabi: What more capable hands are you going to find?

Victor: Is this the part where I get to respond?

Gabi: Sure. Go ahead.

Victor: How’s this? I don’t give a damn about your business experience. I don’t care if you’re steve jobs and john D. Rockefeller reincarnated. I wouldn’t hire you. Besides, if I’m gonna replace philip, I can do that from a member of my own family.

Chloe: Oh, my god.

Brady: I don’t–I don’t know. I don’t know where all this blood came from, chloe.

Chloe: What do you mean? Is–the blood’s not yours?

Brady: No, I don’t think–i don’t think so.

Chloe: Okay, what–what’s wrong with you?

Brady: There’s nothing wrong with me.

Chloe: You’re slurring your words. Did–did you get hit in the head?

Brady: Oh, my god. My head.

Chloe: Brady, you have to tell me what happened, okay? Please talk to me.

Brady: I don’t know. I don’t even know. Okay? I don’t know.

Chloe: Oh my gosh. Brady, where’s philip?

Brady: I don’t know.

[Hall & oates “you make my dreams” plays]

Roman: Okay. First course. Chowder.

Kate: How exotic.

Roman: We have done this together too many times for me to pretend to be anyone other than who I am.

Kate: Okay. And I wouldn’t want it any other way. I’m not complaining. All right.

[Soft music]

Mmm. Hold on. What? This isn’t the same chowder. Did you put something in it? Is this lobster?

Roman: Not to mention paprika and thyme. Look, we all know that maud’s recipe for chowder is the best of the best. Okay? It can’t be beat. That’s why we have it on the menu every single day. So for tonight, I thought, “you know what? I’m gonna add my own touch. Just to make it a little more personal.”

Kate: Wow, it is absolutely fantastic. It deserves to be on the menu.

Roman: Hey, let’s not go crazy. Have you seen the price of lobster these days?

Kate: I know. You really have gone all out for me.

Roman: I told you I would. All you had to do was say the word.

Kate: I think I’m beginning to understand. The pub, transformed. A new suit. Lobster in the chowder. You’re still you.

Roman: But you know what? You make me want to be just a little bit better.

Rafe: Excuse me. I need to speak to both of you.

Xander: Sorry, commissioner, we’re just on our way to dinner.

Rafe: Well, you’re gonna need to postpone it.

Gwen: What’s this about?

Rafe: Well, as you know, kristen dimera was being transported to statesville today.

Xander: So?

Rafe: So she didn’t make it.

Gwen: What does that mean?

Rafe: Well, gwen, it means she escaped.

Gwen: Escaped?

Rafe: That’s right. So I’m gonna need to take you in for questioning.

Gwen: Me? Why?

Rafe: Not you. Your friend here.

Gwen: Xander?

Xander: Wait, you think I know something about kristen’s escape? You can’t be serious.

Rafe: Do you want to do this the easy way, or do I need to arrest you?

Xander: I’d hardly call going down to the police station “easy,” but fine. Whatever. Lead the way.

Gwen: Xander.

Xander: Darling, you okay if we just take a rain check?

Gwen: Yes, of course. Commissioner, please don’t keep him too long.

Rafe: Yeah, it won’t take long at all, as long as he confesses. Sorry, we’re going to have to postpone ours, too.

Ava: Don’t worry about it. You’ve got a job to do. I’ll see you at the house.

Gabi: Yeah, I know you’ve always wanted one of your family members to take the reins of titan. But you know, you and i both know they have all failed you one way or another. And at this point, you’ve driven away anyone who’s thought of becoming ceo.

Victor: We have had our differences of opinion from time to time, yes.

Gabi: That’s–that’s one way to put it.

Victor: Company’s still our family legacy. There’s not a kiriakis alive who wouldn’t jump at the chance to run titan.

Jake: Like who? Xander?

Gabi: He quit because you kept passing him over for philip. He doesn’t want anything to do with you.

Jake: I suppose there’s always justin.

Gabi: Yeah, but he’s never been interested in the corporate world. You know, he’s busy taking up lost causes. Oh, and then there’s sonny. Yep, sonny, who moved to arizona to run any business but this one.

Victor: All right, all right. You’ve made your point. There’s one that you’ve forgotten, though. Brady.

Chloe: Oh, my god, brady. Okay, so philip was here earlier. Have you seen him?

Brady: Philip?

Chloe: Yes. Be careful. You’re hurt.

Brady: I’m good. The blood isn’t mine. I don’t even know whose it is.

Chloe: Okay, philip was here earlier. Did you see him?

Brady: Philip. It’s just philip. God, you’re talking about philip all the time. He doesn’t–he doesn’t deserve you. He never did. I mean–

Chloe: Doesn’t–well, did you see him here earlier?

Brady: Chloe, I didn’t–

Chloe: Oh my–okay. Oh my god. Oh my god. Okay. Oh, my god, brady. Hang on, hang on, hang on.

[Line trilling] Hi. Yeah, this is an emergency. I–I need an ambulance down at the riverbank. My–my friend collapsed, and he–he’s covered in blood. We do it every night.

Roman: Are you ready for the second course?

Kate: Okay, wait a minute. Let me guess. I would say a burger, but with kobe beef?

Roman: Close.

Kate: Ah, filet mignon. Very, very nice.

Roman: Now, I could put that on a bun if you’d prefer.

Kate: Oh, no, no. No. It’s quite nice as it is. Thank you very much. But I will let you know.

Roman: Okay. Medium rare. Did I get that right?

Kate: Of course you got it right. Of course you did because you know me so well.

Roman: Well, I’ve had time to learn, both in a relationship and out of one. Speaking of which–

Kate: Yes?

Roman: I know we did go to the wedding, but we really still haven’t gone public with our status yet.

Kate: “With our status.” Okay, well, what do you want to do? You want to do a media blitz on social media? Would you like to take out a full-page ad in “the spectator” or what?

Roman: You know what? I love that a lot, but no. I’m just thinking about, you know, telling our nearest and dearest.

Kate: The kids.

Roman: Yeah. Yeah. Have you? Have you told yours about us yet?

Kate: No. Well, have you told yours?

Roman: Well, carrie and eric are out of the country, and I haven’t talked to them since you gave me the word.

Kate: Okay. Okay. That’s two.

Roman: Yeah, well, sami, hell. Sami’s off somewhere. Wherever sami in hell goes. You know.

Kate: So obviously, the answer is no.

Roman: Okay. Now it’s your turn. Have you told your kids that we’re back together?

Ava: I ordered rafe a burger. It’s yours if you want it.

Gwen: Thanks, but now I’m afraid I just lost my appetite.

Ava: Can’t blame you. For a second there, I thought that rafe was going to arrest you.

Gwen: You know, honestly, I think I’d be happier if he had.

Ava: Why?

Gwen: Because xander has been accused of doing something that he didn’t do yet again. Again. And it’s something that I did.

Ava: Okay. Maybe you want to keep your voice down a bit.

Gwen: Sorry. You’re right. I’m just really upset. This just isn’t– this isn’t right.

Ava: Well, you know, getting caught isn’t going to help anything.

Gwen: Yeah, I know. But I just can’t believe this. Because I am the one person who can clear his name, but I-I can’t do that without implicating myself.

Ava: That is a conundrum.

Gwen: Yeah. The whole reason that I agreed to help kristen escape was so that I wouldn’t lose xander. But now– if he goes to jail, I’m–I’m gonna lose him anyway.

Rafe: Well, seeing as though neither one of us got dinner…

Xander: What is it with granola bars today?

Rafe: I’ve got cranberry walnut or blueberry surprise.

Xander: I’ll pass, thanks.

Rafe: Suit yourself.

Xander: Well, look. Now that you’ve completely destroyed my evening, you mind telling me why you think I had anything to do with kristen escaping from her prison transport?

Rafe: Well, you used to work for her.

Xander: I used to work with kristen. It was a long time ago.

Rafe: Not that long.

Xander: Right, but it was before she hated my guts for switching her baby with sarah’S.

Rafe: Well, something tells me that she would forgive you if she thought you could find a way to secure her freedom.

Xander: I had nothing to do with it.

Rafe: Okay. So you just happened to show up here the same day that she was getting transported back to statesville?

Xander: I was here to ask kristen questions about sarah. You–you were there. You heard me.

Rafe: I did. You know what, I’m gonna be honest with you. It really didn’t make sense to me that kristen had anything to do with sarah leaving you.

Xander: Oh. It doesn’t have to make sense to you because it’s none of your damn business.

Rafe: Well, actually it is. Especially if you’re using the story as a front to break her out of here. Nyquil severe gives you powerful relief

Chloe: So do you see anything?

Kayla: Nothing yet. So you just found him like this?

Chloe: Yeah. And–and he said that he wasn’t hurt.

Kayla: Well, I think he’s right. I don’t see any lacerations or a puncture wound, nothing that would have him hemorrhage like this.

Chloe: So he’s okay?

Kayla: Well, his vitals are stable. And he doesn’t seem to be in acute distress.

Chloe: What–I mean, something happened, kayla. I found him and he seemed confused. He was slurring his words and then he just passed out.

Kayla: Well, he does have a bump on his head. I mean, it could be some kind of trauma that caused him to lose consciousness.

Chloe: Could that be where the blood’s from?

Kayla: I searched his entire scalp, and there is no wound. I’m gonna order a ct scan just to make sure that he isn’t concussed. But as far as any injuries, I just don’t see any.

Gabi: You think brady is going to take over titan?

Jake: Last I checked, brady was working with my brothers at dimera.

Gabi: Yeah, and from what I hear, he’s happy there. So any other family members you’d like to mention?

Victor: All right. Fine. So the next ceo of titan won’t have kiriakis blood in his veins.

Gabi: And here we are.

Jake: Here we are.

Victor: You’re forgetting one very important detail.

Gabi: What’s that?

Victor: You’re the ones that planted the spyware to take down philip. Why should I hire two people who’d be running titan who tried to destroy the company?

Kate: Seriously, roman, after all this time, do you think the kids are really interested in our love life?

Roman: You know what? If I have learned one thing, it’s when I assume my kids don’t care, that’s exactly when they leap in with all their opinions.

Kate: Well, it’s not like we’re trying to hide anything, you know. I mean, I thought that would tell philip and lucas the next time I saw them.

Roman: Which is when?

Kate: Well, I’ve called them. I mean, they just haven’t answered my messages yet.

Roman: The older they get, the harder they are to pin down.

Kate: Well, they do have their lives to live too, you know.

Roman: Yeah, which is exactly why I love a good family holiday. Because it pretty much obligates them all to come home. And would you look at that? There happens to be one right around the corner.

Kate: Oh, like–all right. So now I see where this is all going. You want to get everyone together so we can break the news at christmas time, right. Is that it?

Roman: You know, we usually have a get-together here for the kids and grandkids anyway. You know, why not make that our coming out party?

Kate: Actually, it would be kind of a good idea to tell everyone at the same time, right. I mean, if there’s any fallout, at least we’re a team.

Roman: Exactly. Sami and eric and lucas and philip will all be in the same room. And who knows, we may get lucky and see our son then, too.

Kate: Yeah. Do you ever think we’re going to be able to get rex to take a break from saving lives with doctors without borders?

Roman: You know, I’ve been thinking about that. And I think if we both work on him together, we just might be able to convince him to bring sarah home for a real holiday celebration.

Kate: Oh, my gosh. Cheers to that.

Roman: Right.

Gwen: This was never supposed to happen. Kristen said this wouldn’t come back at me.

Ava: Okay, would you calm down? It’s like you want to tell the whole square your business.

Gwen: That’s so easy for you to say, isn’t it? ‘Cause my boyfriend didn’t just come and take your boyfriend in for questioning while you were on your way to a nice dinner, did he?

Ava: I’m sorry you had to cancel your plans, but it’s all going to work out.

Gwen: Yeah?

Ava: Yeah.

Gwen: How?

Ava: Have you forgotten? Xander’s innocent. So rafe doesn’t actually have anything on him.

Gwen: Then why did he take him in for questioning?

Ava: I don’t know. Fishing expedition. You know, round up the usual suspects, that sort of thing.

Gwen: Are you sure?

Ava: Take it from someone who has stonewalled her fair share of police interrogations. I can tell when the cops have the goods and when they’re just bluffing.

Gwen: You think rafe is bluffing?

Ava: Like I said, he doesn’t have anything. All right. Take a deep breath. Have a fry, maybe two.

Gwen: Yeah, okay.

Ava: Better, huh?

Gwen: You’re right.

Ava: What?

Gwen: I don’t know. I just can’t–I can’t help thinking that this whole thing is just gonna fall apart anyway, even if xander doesn’t get busted. I mean, the whole reason I went to these lengths was to make sure that xander wouldn’t get back together with his ex.

Ava: Wait a minute. I thought that sarah left xander to be with her ex-husband.

Gwen: Well, I mean…

Ava: Ah. So there’s more to this story after all.

Gwen: Just forget I said anything.

Ava: Oh, what, you don’t trust me? We just committed a felony together. If I need leverage on you, oh baby, I’ve got plenty.

Gwen: I suppose you’re right. Plus, I’ve been dying to tell somebody about what I did. Psoriatic arthritis, made my joints stiff,…

Kate: This feels like dessert time.

Roman: Not just dessert. The piece de resistance. Creme brléE. I torched it myself.

Kate: My favorite.

Roman: You weren’t hoping for something new and fresh?

Kate: Oh, I’ve had something new and fresh, and it wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. Mmm. The classics are the classics for a reason.

Roman: Kind of like us.

Kate: Do you think we’re a classic?

Roman: You know what? What I do know is this. We had something very, very special a few years back. I know it didn’t last, but you could think of us as back in style.

Kate: You don’t think it’s too early?

Roman: For what?

Kate: For all of this, you know. For all of it. For calling us–for calling us a classic, for wanting to make a big announcement to the family. I mean, really, roman, it’s only a date and a half.

Roman: I think it should’ve happened a long time ago. How about you?

Kate: I think that you did good tonight, roman. I think you did real good.

Roman: Thank you.

Xander: Why the hell would you think that me confronting kristen about my fiancée dumping me was a front?

Rafe: It got you in the building, didn’t it? And then, no one would be suspicious when they saw you leave.

Xander: I only left because I didn’t get any satisfaction.

Rafe: Mm-hmm. Or maybe you followed kristen out to the prison transfer van.

Xander: No. And your entire premise makes no sense. Why would I lift a finger to help that woman? She’s done nothing but cause me grief.

Rafe: No. Maybe you felt like you owed her after the baby switch.

Xander: I owe her nothing. I mean, she’s the one who called me to tell me that sarah was hooking up with rex. Because of her, I had to walk in on the love of my life with another man on my wedding day.

Rafe: That must have been rough.

Xander: Rough? It almost destroyed me. So commissioner, believe me when I say that rotting in prison for the next few years is too good for kristen dimera. And if someone helped her break out, I hope you lock them up, too.

Ava: So sarah’s not off with rex?

Gwen: No. She’s fending off bugs on some tropical deserted island where kristen sent her to.

Ava: Kristen does not mess around, does she?

Gwen: Exactly.

Ava: So that’s why you helped break her out of jail. Because at any moment, she can tell xander where to find his not-so-runaway bride.

Gwen: I’m not proud of it.

Ava: Hey, it’s working.

Gwen: Is it working, really? Because honestly, I feel terrible that this poor woman is being kept away from all her friends and family.

Ava: Not terrible enough to tell xander.

Gwen: No. Of course not. Because I’d feel a lot worse if she came back and took him from me.

Ava: Look, I can see you’re conflicted, gwen. But you know, you didn’t kidnap her.

Gwen: I’m certainly aiding and abetting, aren’t I? You really don’t think that I have anything to feel guilty about?

Ava: I’m not saying it’s not shady or not even illegal, okay? But you’re not exactly an angel.

Gwen: I know. But kidnapping is–it–

Ava: Just a word, gwen. It’s just a word.

Gwen: It’s also a crime.

Ava: Okay. From someone who has made her living on the wrong side of the law, can I offer you a little advice?

Gwen: Advice? Advice from a career criminal. That’s–that’s perfect.

Ava: There’s no point in wasting time worrying about who you may have hurt. You knew what you wanted and you made your choice to get it. People do it every day. Right?

Gwen: Yeah.

Ava: Yeah.

Gwen: They certainly did that to me. My whole life was based on other people’s choices.

Ava: Hey. And you were collateral damage. Right? It’s not pretty. You made the best of it. And so will sarah.

Gwen: What if something happens to her on that island?

Ava: Gwen, you got what you want, right? Stop worrying about how you got it.

Gabi: Don’t tell me you’re still upset about the keylogger. We weren’t–we weren’t trying to take down titan. We were trying to get rid of philip.

Victor: Oh, well, call me old-fashioned, but I tend to frown on corporate espionage, especially when it’s aimed at my son.

Jake: You know, gabs, maybe we should go.

Gabi: Go? What–we’re doing–we’re doing victor a favor.

Victor: A favor?

Gabi: I mean, come on. Philip is a lousy ceo. I–I know he’s your son. We only installed that keylogger to expose how incompetent philip was.

Victor: Well, if that’s the case, why didn’t you say so?

Gabi: You–you don’t believe us? You obviously agree that philip is in no shape to run this company. I mean, why else would you fire your own son?

Victor: My feelings about philip as a ceo are moot. But if you’re trying to sell yourselves, you’re doing a lousy job.

Gabi: I disagree.

Victor: Well, it’s not up to you, is it? So if you want the number one spot at titan, you’d better come up with something new, and fast.

Kayla: Brady? It’s kayla. You’re at the hospital. Can you hear me?

Chloe: Brady, brady, I’m here, too, okay?

Kayla: You said you talked to him before?

Chloe: I-yeah, but he didn’t say much. He just seemed really confused, and then he passed out.

Kayla: I’m gonna message the lab and find out what the hold-up is on the ct. I’ll check on the other blood work as well.

Chloe: If that’s not his blood–

Kayla: Well, we’ll know soon enough. I swabbed everything and I sent it to the lab.

Chloe: Okay.

Kayla: How did you find him anyway? Did he call you?

Chloe: No. I was–I was looking for philip, actually.

Kayla: Well, did you see philip?

Chloe: No, he wasn’t there.

Kayla: Chloe, do you think–

Chloe: That that could be philip’s blood? Yeah, it’s crossed my mind.

Kayla: When was the last time that you heard from him?

Chloe: I left him at the riverbank, and when I back there, I just–I just found brady, but–I have to find him.

[Line trilling]

[Phone ringing]

Kayla: What is brady doing with philip’s phone? I’ve lost count of how many asthma attacks I’ve had.

Brady: [Groans]

Chloe: Brady. Brady, it’s me. It’s chloe. Can you hear me?

Brady: Chloe. Chloe.

Chloe: Brady, can you– can you tell me what’s–what’s going on? What happened? What happened? What–why do you have philip’s phone? Brady, talk to me. What–what–what’s going on?

Kayla: Chloe, I just got brady’s blood work back.

Chloe: And?

Kayla: And his blood alcohol level was 0.25, over three times the legal limit.

Chloe: Oh my god. He was drunk? That explains why he was confused and slurring his words.

Kayla: That’s not the only result I got back. As suspected, the blood on his clothing was not his. It’s o positive.

Chloe: O positive?

Kayla: Does that mean something to you?

Chloe: We–we gave blood together once, but I know that o positive is philip’s blood type.

Xander: If accusations are all you have to throw at me, I have a dinner date waiting for me.

Rafe: You’re free to go for now.

Xander: For now? Look, how much clearer can I make it? I would never help kristen.

Rafe: Just keeping my options open.

Xander: Well, eliminate me from your list. Kristen dimera deserves to be in prison. If someone did help her escape, might be very interested in knowing what they’re getting out of it.

[Tense music]

Ava: I’m not sure rafe’s gonna like this reheated. I can always make meatballs out of it.

Gwen: This is easy for you, isn’t it?

Ava: What is?

Gwen: Just not worrying about who you might hurt.

Ava: I never said it’s easy. It’s just–it’s the way the world works. I mean, were you happier when you didn’t have xander, when you didn’t have control over your own life?

Gwen: No, I wasn’T. Not even close.

Ava: Exactly. Hey. Hey, let me offer you one more bit of advice. You are the only person who can make yourself feel guilty. Because you’re the only person who knows what you did.

Gwen: I guess you’re right.

Ava: I know I am. Look, and as far as xander is concerned, he thinks that sarah and rex are off together saving the world. And no one needs to know otherwise.

[Romantic music playing]

Roman: You still not ready to say we’re classic?

Kate: Well, I mean, I can’t really speak for the whole relationship, but as for tonight, I think it’s one for the books.

Roman: I am glad to hear that.

Kate: Really? How glad?

Roman: Very glad.

Rex: Well, aren’t you two just full of surprises?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Hope: You want us to move out?

Ridge: I don’t want that. I didn’t want it to come to this. But you’re insisting to be with deacon, and I don’t know what else to do.

Hope: He’s my father, ridge.

Ridge: Well, he’s more than that to me.

Hope: Whatever he has done in the past, it does no good for me to hold on to a grudge–

Ridge: Well, it’s not as easy for some of us. I see him and I see your mother’s betrayal and her affair.

Hope: So then what does that make me?

Hope: And besides, it’s not like the two of you were together then anyways.

Ridge: Together now. You wanna be with deacon, you gotta do it someplace else. I will not let him come between me and my wife.

Liam: Hey. Um, I was gonna check the mail today. Douglas is expecting an invitation to his friend’s birthday party.

Brooke: How cute. Yeah. I think I have that right here for you. Oh. Also, I wanna add some goodies to the kids’ lunches today.

Liam: Aw. That’s thoughtful. This is what I’m talking about. You’re always looking out for us. We appreciate it.

Brooke: Yeah. Well, I love having you and hope and the kids so close by.

Liam: Well, we’re lucky to be here.

Brooke: It really scared me when she threatened to move away if I didn’t accept her relationship with deacon. And I know you still have reservations about her father, but I think maybe we need to… respect her wishes.

Liam: I’m trying. It’s not easy. I mean, I’ll be lying if I said I wasn’t worried. But, you know, I’m saying all the same things ridge is.

Brooke: Yeah. It’s just not really up to us, is it? I mean, ridge is gonna have to find a way to make peace with deacon.

[Door closes]

Liam: Hey. I, uh– I was just up at the main house getting our mail. Douglas got invited to that party, so that’s good.

Hope: Yeah, that’s great.

Liam: Um… ridge showed up just as I was leaving. Kind of seemed like he came from here.

Liam: Did you guys get into it about deacon?

Hope: [Clears throat] Yeah. He’s kicking us out.

Liam: What?

Hope: We have to find somewhere to move because ridge ordered us off the property.

Brooke: You went down to the cabin to talk to hope?

Ridge: Yep.

Brooke: What about?

Ridge: [Sighs] It seems to me we fought all our lives to be happy, and-and all I want is some peace.

Brooke: Well, that’s all I want, too. And I don’t wanna talk about deacon anymore.

Ridge: I think that’s possible now.

Brooke: Now?

Ridge: I did something, um, for the family, for all of us.

Brooke: What did you do, ridge?

Ridge: I was talking to hope, and I told her if she wants to spend time with deacon, she’s gonna have to live somewhere else.

Sheila: Well, hello again to you, too. Deacon, you can’t just keep coming here eating my food and drinking my booze and not giving me anything in return.

Deacon: I’m gracing you with my presence, aren’t I, sheila?

Sheila: Yes. Well, not as much as you used to. Been quite mysterious lately.

Sheila: Come on. Why don’t you just move back in? I’ll give you the bed. Better yet, we could– we could share the bed. You’re stressed. I’m stressed. Maybe we can…help each other relieve some tension.

Deacon: I…can’T. I’m trying to clean up my image for hope… and for brooke.

Sheila: Oh, my gosh. You are king of the dreams, aren’t you? You need to get your head out of the clouds, because you are nuts– you’re nuts if you think you have a shot with brooke.

[Hall & oates “you make my dreams” plays]

Hope: I can’t believe this is actually happening.

Liam: I mean…[Scoffs] Is it possible that-that what ridge said was, like, more of a heat-of-the-moment thing. Like, he doesn’t actually want us to physically move out.

Hope: No. No. He made himself crystal clear that either I shut my father out of my life, or we find another place to live.

Liam: God, that’s– that’s really extreme, especially considering it doesn’t just affect you and me.

Hope: No. It affects the kids. And the connection to family is important to me. And it means a lot to have mom there when the kids come home from school.

Liam: He really didn’t run any of this by brooke?

Hope: No. Brooke would’ve shut it down immediately. She’s gonna be devastated when she finds out.

Liam: Yeah, especially ’cause she was literally just saying how happy she is that we’re here.

Hope: I am mostly just sad for beth and douglas. Because they’ve grown so close to my mom. They love their grandma, and then they get to see the aunts and uncles whenever they come to visit.

Liam: Hey. Well, listen. No. No. That’s not gonna change no matter where we’re living.

Hope: We just– we have so many wonderful memories here. There is where we started our life together.

Liam: But maybe… ridge is right.

Brooke: You asked hope to move out?

Ridge: No, I didn’t ask her. I told her to. Oh, my god, ridge. How could you?

Ridge: I had to do something.

Brooke: It is not our place to dictate to her what she can or cannot do.

Ridge: It is our place. We’re the heads of this family. We have to do whatever we can to protect all of us.

Brooke: From deacon?

Ridge: Yes, from deacon! Hope doesn’t listen to me. She doesn’t listen to you. She doesn’t listen to anybody.

Brooke: Look, I am trying everything that I can do so that I-I support her, so I don’t alienate heR.

Ridge: Oh–

Brooke: And all you’re doing is pushing her away.

Ridge: That’s–no. I’m setting boundaries.

Brooke: We can’t prevent her from seeing her father.

Ridge: We can forbid him from coming here anytime he wants to. If she wants to be with him, do it somewhere else, and I know, yes, deacon is on his best behavior now. It’s his best behavior until he’s not, until–

Brooke: Until what?

Ridge: Until someone gets hurt. Until this chaos starts all over again. Brooke, if this clown is anything, he’s predictable.

Brooke: You had no right. This is my daughter we’re talking about.

Ridge: Yeah, it’s your daughter– your daughter with deacon.

Sheila: You actually think that brooke would throw ridge away, the–the love of her life, her soulmate, her destiny? You actually believe she would leave him for you?

Deacon: Hate to dine and dash, but I gotta go.

Sheila: Oh, where you gonna go?

Deacon: I don’t know. Maybe I’ll sleep in my car or find a park bench or something.

Sheila: You are that desperate to impress brooke. Wow, you–you’re… [Laughs] You really think you have a chance with her.

Deacon: You never know.

Sheila: Where–where is all this cockiness suddenly coming from?

Deacon: Stranger things have happened.

Sheila: Yeah, but I thought brooke couldn’t stand the sight of you. Are you–are you truly that charming, huh?

Deacon: Some would say irresistible.

Sheila: Come on. Come on. What is it, deacon? Did something happen?

Deacon: I don’t wanna jinx it.

Sheila: Oh! Stop being so cryptic.

Deacon: Ah.

Sheila: You are so annoying right now.

Deacon: Let’s just say that, uh, I’m sensing a little shift over at casa del brooke, a little tension in the air.& Yeah, brooke and ridge– they may not be quite as solid as everyone thinks. Wipes. Wipes. Wipes. Why the waste?

Liam: I know what you’re– okay, just hold–hold on. Just give me–just give me A…

Hope: [Sighs]

Liam: Hear me out for one second, okay? Please?

Hope: Ridge has asked us to move out on his own accord. What possible way is there to justify it?

Liam: It’s– it’s not justified. I’m not trying to justify. I’m just saying maybe– maybe there’s a different way of looking at it. Right? Like, as– as an opportunity to try something new, different.

Hope: We’ve been so happy here.

Liam: Well, we’ve been happy because…we’re happy. Right? I mean, we’re happy because we’re with each other, not–not because of these walls. And besides, we have a family now, like kind of a big one. Maybe we could use the space. It’s not like we can’t afford it.

Hope: Liam, that is not the point.

Liam: I know. I-I’m just saying that we have the means to go anywhere we want. Like, we could live somewhere where the kids can visit grandma every single day if they wanted to, right? We can be that close.

Hope: But you know it’s not going to be the same.

Liam: Well, you know, what about the tension that deacon is causing between ridge and your mom? We don’t wanna be a part of that, do we?

Hope: No, I don’T. It’s just… this little cabin has become… our little sanctuary.

Liam: Yeah. Yeah, it has, I know. And I–trust me, I hate the thought of never lighting another fire in that fireplace or never cooking eggs on that little iron stove for the kids again.

Hope: You hate that stove.

Liam: I hate that stove. It never–like, 40% of the time, it works, and you need to use a match. Like what? Doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter. I’m just saying… maybe it’s time to leave this place behind and go make memories somewhere new, somewhere that’s entirely ours.

Brooke: Hope is my daughter.

Ridge: I know, and I-I-i don’t mean to push her away, but what do I do? She’s got this fixation with deacon. I don’t–

Brooke: Fixation? You act like he’s a random guy. This is her father.

Ridge: I don’t want him in my house!

Brooke: My house. You moved into my home.

Ridge: Really? We’re doing that? Okay.

Brooke: And this is hope’s home, too. She has every right to be here. So it’s their choice if they move out or not.

Ridge: But it doesn’t work this way.

Brooke: Ridge. I adore having them here. I want them to stay. I mean, it really broke my heart when she threatened me that she was moving out.

Ridge: All right, well, you can still see them every day. It’s not like they’re not welcome here.

Brooke: You know what? You really should have consulted me before you went there.

Ridge: Why? You would have tried to talk me out of it. If she wants to be with deacon, then let her do it. Just move out for a little while.

Brooke: No. No! My daughter is not moving out.

Deacon: Yeah, brooke and ridge–they’ve, uh, they’ve been having troubles lately–pressures on their marriage.

Sheila: Because of you.

Deacon: Oh, I don’t think I have that kind of power.

Sheila: That’s because you don’T. I think you’re reading a lot more into this, deacon. It’s a severe case of wishful thinking.

Deacon: Mm, I don’t know, sheila. Seems like ridge is about to lose his cool.

Sheila: Ridge has always been a hothead.

Deacon: Mm, yeah, but he took things to a new level today. You know that egomaniac– he doesn’t want me anywhere near beverly hills.

Sheila: Oh! [Laughs] No duh. Why don’t you just tell me something I don’t already know?

Deacon: Okay. I overheard ridge talking to hope. He told my daughter that he wants her to move out, vacate the premises.

Sheila: No. Give her the boot?

Deacon: Yep. Yeah, he says it’s affecting his marriage. Either she cuts ties with me, or it’s sayonara, sweetheart.

Sheila: Well, that sounds a little extreme.

Deacon: Well, that’s how threatened this guy is of an unemployed ex-con, so yeah, there’s trouble in paradise, big-time.

Sheila: So you think that this is a good opportunity for you.

Deacon: Mm-hmm.

Sheila: Maybe an opportunity to win back brooke’s heart? Maybe get into her bed?

[Laughs] You’re crazy. [Laughing]

Ooh

Sheila: [Snorts, laughs]

Deacon: What, do you think I’m some kind of joke?

> Sheila: Yeah, I’m starting to think you’re a bigger fool than I ever pegged you to be. Look, deacon… don’t be upset. I mean, there might be trouble in paradise over there. But I just–I just think that we could have a little bit of our own paradise… right here. I am feeling a little bit naughty.

Deacon: Hmm.

Sheila: What do you say?

Deacon: I’m saving myself.

Sheila: Oh, my gosh! I–I just don’t get it. I-I-I–what is the spell that every man in la has with brooke logan? I don’t get it. I don’t understand it.

Deacon: Then you should get your eyes checked.

Sheila: There’s nothing wrong with these eyes.

Deacon: Look, sheila, don’t take this the wrong way, but you’re not brooke. What?

Sheila: No offense, but brooke is no sheila.

Deacon: [Chuckles]

Sheila: Oh, my gosh, you’re falling for her again.

Deacon: She’s hot. I mean, that’s not a secret.

Sheila: You never got over her, did you?

Deacon: She’s the mother of my kid.

Sheila: And that’s all she’s ever gonna be, deacon. Because women like brooke, they don’t fall for men like you. No job, no money, no prospects. Rap sheets as long as their tennis courts.

Deacon: Okay, you know what? Stop, stop, please? Enough with the negativity. God, stop. I know what I heard ridge say. He’s kicking hope and her kids to the curb. That is a bad move. Bad move. And when brooke finds out…

[Chuckles] It ain’t gonna go over well. All it’s gonna do is cause more tension between the two of them.

Sheila: Even if it does, she’s not gonna come running to you.

Deacon: I don’t know. Things have changed. Hope wants me in her world. She–she wants us to be family, and brooke is backing hope, which means she’s backing me. And ridge, well, he’S… how do the french say it? Losing his freaking mind.

Sheila: [Chuckles] You’re gonna do everything in your power, aren’t you, to make sure that ridge goes over the edge?

Ridge: I know you’re disappointed. I’m disappointed, too.

Brooke: Okay. Well… we just can’t let this come between us, ridge.

Ridge: No, it won’T. Can’T. How did this whole thing start, anyway? Writing letters? I didn’t even know he knew how to read.

Brooke: [Sighs] She wants a relationship with her father.

Ridge: With a guy who’s gonna let her down. You gotta understand, I’m– I’m doing this because I want to protect you and hope.

Brooke: By removing her from her house? Look…I know this is hard for you. I do, I understand that. I’m sorry. But sometimes marriages aren’t always smooth sailing. I mean… look at the past. There was taylor and thomas and his obsession with my daughter.

Ridge: I’m sorry. Are you comparing deacon to thomas?

Brooke: No, of course not. Just trying to make a point. You know, I accepted thomas, and everything that he was going through. Now it’s your turn to accept hope, and her desire to have her father in her life. Come on, ridge. Let’s just deal with this together. You’re not gonna kick anybody out. Is that understood?

Liam: Hey… uh… sorry if we’re…interrupting.

Hope: You’re talking about my dad, aren’t you?

Brooke: Ridge told me what he said to you.

Hope: Okay, well, um, speaking of… liam and I just had a very long discussion, and… we talked it through and we think that it is best if–if we do move out.

Brooke: No, this is ridiculous. I’m not going to accept this.

Hope: But ridge has been–

Brooke: Ridge and I will work through this, but you are my daughter. And you’re raising my grandchildren here. Nobody is going to force you out.

Deacon: I’ve just about had it with that arrogant jerk trying to control me. If my return has caused a rift in ridge’s marriage, guess what? I’ll be there to pick up the pieces for brooke. Who knows? Maybe someday we’ll be… reunited as a family.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

how’s it going? Same as always. Might seem boring, but that’s how we like it. Nice and quiet. Laura: What are you doing? Martin: I-I’m doing what you told me to do. I’m trying to keep you safe! Laura: Safe? You’re gonna get us both killed. Laura.

[ Screams ] Aah! Aah!

[ Video game beeping ] Oh. Sorry. Sorry. We’ll try to keep it down.

[ Beeping continues ] I-I get a little excited. Y-yeah. Protecting people is harder than it looks. What do you intend to do? Me? I don’t have to lift a finger. You sealed your own fate back in beautiful nixon falls when you fell in love with another woman’s husband — and not just any woman. The feisty carly corinthos. Quite frankly, nina, I’m surprised to even see you still in town. I would have thought carly would have run you out on a rail by now. But not after tarring and feathering you first, of course. Or doesn’t she know? Well, perhaps I should clue carly in. Clue me in on what? Sonny: Dr. Westbourne? Mr. Corinthos. Hi. Uh…sonny. I’m so sorry about jason. Yeah. Well, you know how life is, right? Uh, that’s why I need you to be straight with me. Ho w long before brando and sashacan bring their baby home? I handed bailey off to the nanny. Thank you. Sure thing. No, thank you. For everything. Drew: Man, so much has changed around here.

[ Clears throat ] I’m just trying to catch up. Monica explained that you two have a child together but until recently, valentin thought that bailey was his daughter.

[ Sighs ] Uh, it’s true. Long story. I’m sure it is. And you were with willow, but now she’s with michael? That’s true. Also a long story. I can see that. Drew? I thought you already left. Yeah. I wanted to. I just — I can’t find my keys anywhere. Oh, here. Take my car. Don’t want you to be late. Ah! The porsche. Well, thank you very much, mr. Cassadine. You’re welcome, mrs. Cassadine. Drive safe. Okay. I’ll see you tonight. Yeah.

[ Doorbell rings ] Good afternoon, nikolas. Come in.

[ Exhales deeply ] It’s been quite a while since I’ve been h– ava: Well, I found my keys. They were in my other coat…pocket. You’re…alive. I’ve been hearing that a lot. Yeah. I know it’s shocking. But it’s so good to see you, willow. Yeah, I’ll be there in time for the finance meeting. Thanks. Michael. It can’t be. It is. Here I am, home at last. Come on.

[ Echoing ]


I guess you didn’t tell the new guy about our gaming marathons and our enthusiasm. Uh, we were kind of in the zone. Silva: Oh, I’m well aware. But as you know, any suspicious sounds or cries of distress must be investigated and taken seriously. You’re absolutely right. We apologize. Yeah. Our bad. Thanks. Gin rummy, crazy eights, speed — all fun card games. I scream at those, too. She’s very competitive. Don’t forget — he’s keeping us safe. I wish he didn’t have to. Well, he does. It’s a waiting game. Although from what I’ve been able to glean from silva, the fbi is winding things down. So maybe they’re eliminating or have eliminated the threat against us. And that would be cyrus. I mean, how is that possible? We both know that he will never stop trying to get revenge against the people who’ve crossed him, and we top that list. With everything that was going on at natasha — oh, excuse me — alexis’s house — we didn’t have a chance to get properly acquainted. I-I do hope we can remedy that. No time like the present. You’re quite lovely. My nephew is a lucky man. Well, not only is my wife beautiful, she’s smart, classy. Above all else, she’s patient with me when I fall short of her expectations. Ah. To what do we owe the pleasure of this visit? Oh, just some business I have to discuss with nikolas. Oh? Pertaining to what, mr. Cassadine? Oh, my dear, please. Let’s not be quite so formal. Call me uncle victor — or at least victor. We are family, after all. And you have especially endeared yourself to me. As I understand it, I have you to thank for my freedom. W-where have you been all these years? I mean, h-how’d you get back here? I’m — I’m gonna explain all of that, but there is something that i need to talk to you about first. Maybe we should give them some privacy. Willow: Catch up. Very good to see you, too, drew. I’m glad you’re back. So, um… you and willow. Monica didn’t tell me. Are you guys married? Um, w– uh, we — we were. Not — not at the mom– it — [ Sighs ] It’s kind of complicated. It’s a long story. I’ve been hearing that a lot. I’ve been saying that a lot, too. But willow and I, we are together. We actually have a-a son together — wiley. Congratulations, man. That’s — that’s amazing. I really do look forward to catching up. I can’t wait. So, uh, what’s — what’s on your mind? I’ve got some bad news. It’s about jason. What about jason? He was trapped in a tunnel on cassadine island. There was a cave-in. It’s unlikely that he survived. Willow: Michael’s going to be heartbroken. And this all happened while we were gone? Maybe I should go back in and be with him. Look, before you go, um… there’s something that you should know. I gave her a quick bath. She’s all set and ready for daddy. “Daddy”? It’s too early to make any definitive diagnosis. But rest assured, the staff and I are committed to doing all we can to ensure the baby and his parents are well taken care of. I appreciate that. Can — can I say something? You seem different — like more compassionate, approachable than you did before. Less bitchy?

[ Both laugh ] Yeah, when you work smack dab in the middle of the circle of life, sometimes things rub off on you. And I-I had help tapping into it. It’s nice, ’cause it — it — I can — I can see why… you were so special to jason. Yeah. So special, he chose another woman over me. Peter is a killer and a liar. Nothing he says is worth hearing. Well, why don’t we let carly be the judge of that? Time to go. Officer delmonico, I need a word with the prisoner. I’ll make it brief. Yeah, she’ll make a brief… just long enough for us to share a moment of silence together for the dearly departed jason morgan.


That was for jason, you sick son of a bitch, and it’s just the beginning. Mrs. Corinthos, you said “a word.” Yeah. Sometimes it takes more than a word. Your righteous anger is misplaced, mrs. Corinthos. What about nina’s betrayal? Carly and I already hashed that out. Mm! All of it? Say what you mean, you bastard! Careful, nina. What happens in nixon falls doesn’t always stay in nixon falls. Delmonico: Okay. Let’s go.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Carly, I’ll bet it felt really good to slap peter, but hasn’t he caused enough destruction? I mean, is he worth you getting into trouble? You can drop the concerned act. What the hell was peter talking about? What else did you pull in nixon falls? I’m sorry. That was really uncalled for. Uh, when you’re talking about a-another woman over you, you’re talking about carly. Is that right? Can we just forget it? It’s been a rough couple of days. No, I’m not gonna forget it, ’cause I just need you to — to understand something.

[ Sighs ] When I came back, right… …it was hard for me to accept jason and carly together. But they have a certain… relationship. Everybody knew. It was hard for me to understand. But what I do know is jason married carly to protect the family, and — and I’ll always be grateful for that. We didn’t leave him much of a choice. Thank you for saying that. Truthfully [Chuckles] I think it’s easier for me to be bitter than to accept the fact that I may never see jason again. You know what? Maybe it’s just best we — we know that he cared about us and he, uh… …he even loved us in… his way. Look at you.

[ Laughs ] Wow. I wouldn’t have expected sonny corinthos to be in the consolation business. Well, you know, there’s a few people who — who have said that I’ve undergone some kind of…change. Mm. Willow: Wrong guy. Mr. Cassadine is bailey’s father. But I thought that… you know what? Thank you, bonnie. We’ll call you if we need you. What just happened? Why didn’t you guys correct her? Um, we didn’t correct her because… because she’s right. Valentin isn’t bailey’s father. I am. What are you talking about? Since when? Since always? But you… never said a word. I just found out. Chase is trying to protect me, okay? What chase isn’t saying is that I always knew who bailey’s real father was. I just… I kept it from him. Why? W-why would you do something like that? Because I needed to get my elq shares back from valentin. I-I…I didn’t know the two of you… no. I — it was just that once, when brook lynn was crashing at my place. So you’re not together? No. No. No. Well, I’m standing right here. Look, willow, chase and I are just friends. We’re — we’re co-parents. That’s it. Right. Like michael and i once were. Ava: Don’t you remember? I-I’m sure I mentioned it, darling. No, darling, I don’t think you did. Well, had it not been for mr. Baldwin’s unexpected yet really rather brilliant strategy, I might not have been able to cut such a deal with the wsb. Scott. Oh, I definitely would have remembered that. Oh. Well… i meant to tell you. And it’s not a big deal, really. Scott came into the gallery in a state about liesl, and I, um… inadvertently mentioned that the wsb was holding someone who might have a lead on her whereabouts. And I’m very grateful you did. Because of you, I’m once again breathing free air and dear liesl is reunited with her daughter. We shouldn’t keep you, ava. My uncle and I, we have private matters to discuss. Oh, I’m not pressed. And your business is my business, my love. Nikolas is right. We will be discussing rather sensitive matters. Well, perhaps somewhere along the way, you heard of the jerome family. I assure you, there’s nothing you could say that would shock me. Tell him, nikolas. Whatever you have to say, you can say in front of ava. I trust my wife with my life. Well, that’s very admirable. Let’s just hope your trust isn’t unfounded, because what I’m about to disclose — well, let’s just say any inadvertent lapse in discretion could be the undoing of us all. Aren’t you surprised that cyrus hasn’t been able to find us after all these months? He must be getting pretty angry by now. He does not like to be denied. Martin: Well, that is an understatement. All because he can’t have the one thing he craves more than anything else in the world — a place to belong, to bond with people. I guess we both do, despite all appearances to the contrary. It’s why cyrus was so excited to find out that you’re our sister. I was too. I did try, martin. I tried. Even when he was holding me hostage, I… I didn’t want him to get killed. I wanted him to give himself up so that he could walk away from it unharmed. No, I admire your compassion. Cyrus didn’t deserve it. Just for the record — in spite all the stultifying waiting we’ve had to endure while in hiding together, I am grateful for the chance to get to know you. There’s — there’s — there’s no chance? We can only go off what the authorities in greece told us. The excavators detected no sign of life in that tunnel. I mean, jason’s chances of survival from the cave-in alone, they were very slim. But the odds that he would actually be able to find oxygen underneath all that rubble… yeah, but there was — they didn’t find a body, right? I know it sounds bleak, but if anybody can defy the odds, it’s jason. I am not ruling anything out until we get the final word, believe me. But still, I’m mentally preparing myself. Look, I’m sorry. I know y-you’ve probably had to tell the story a dozen times and it’s hell reliving it over and over again. No. I’m here to tell it because of jason. And I-I-I hate being the bearer of such bad news. I-I know the strong bond that you two had. It’s kind of ironic, too. At the end, jason and I, we started to bond, we started to work together, and I just… I found myself admiring him even more. I got to call my dad.

[ Sighs ] You know, it’s weird. I-I’ve finally gotten past the impulse to call my father. And now I can because he’s back, and this is a call I would never want to make in a million years. A check-in call to make sure my family’s okay because jason is not coming home. How — how could jason not be here anymore?


Damn. Gin. Thank you for listening to all my worrying and fretting. You really have helped me an awful lot. I’m not sure I did all that much, but I am happy to be your sounding board, laura. Matter of fact, it’s a privilege.

[ Chuckles ] Well, that’s what brothers and sisters are supposed to do, right? Oh, so I’ve been told. Think about this — if we ever do get out of here, we’ll be able to spend time together out in the open. Matter of fact, how about this? How about if we don’t make it back for the holidays, we plan ourselves a big old family dinner? Oh, a big old family dinner. Oh, that can’t come soon enough for me. Agent silva, thank you for taking such good care of us. Aside from the gaming, you guys are very compliant. This is a relatively easy detail. Here. Daily papers. Thank you. Anything I should know? Actually, I did just get word on something that might interest you as mayor. Does the name victor cassadine sound familiar? Nikolas asked me over to discuss how I helped him with his hayden barnes problem. Y-you mean her shooting? No. I had nothing to do with that. I stepped in later, when it seemed that ms. Barnes was particularly vulnerable to valentin’s bribes and threats. Hayden was on the verge of blowing my plans to regain the cassadine fortune. And I was happy to oblige. But how exactly? No one has seen or heard from hayden, not even her own sister or her daughter. And most recently, her mother was murdered. You were in trouble, nikolas. Hayden needed to be dealt with, along with others close to her who could implicate us. Even your cousin samantha came perilously close to uncovering the truth. I didn’t ask for any of that. Well, with family, you don’t have to ask. Are you saying you commissioned crimes in the service of my husband, unsolicited? I’m saying, my dear, that I protected him. And you and, for that matter, wyndemere. What have you done to hayden? Word of advice — don’t ask questions you don’t really want the answers to. Sonny: The job must be a lot easier now that you don’t have cyrus lurking around. Yeah, it’s nice not to worry about men hiding in my office, trying to kill me.

[ Laughs ] And I heard that, uh, jason saved you when — when he escaped and that you’ve been trying to nail cyrus. And I also heard that… you saved jason the night that he got shot, and I want to tell you how much I appreciate that. Yeah. I wish I could have saved him on cassadine island. Yeah. So do I. But, you know, you didn’t get a chance, but I know you would have done everything you could. So, where you headed? Uh, my office, I guess. All right. Uh, I’ll — I’ll walk with you. ‘Cause you never know if there’s, like, a bogeyman or whatever.

[ Laughs ] Wait, carly. Carly! I’m telling you, this is what peter does. He agitates. He tries to sow discord. Anything to deflect from his own crimes. What would peter have to gain by lying about you? Well, I can’t fathom what’s inside peter’s head, and I don’t want to, but if I were to guess, it’s probably just simple revenge. You know, I foiled his plan to find his daughter. I tried to get aunt liesl to kill him, and I survived when he tried to kill me in that fire. He hates me. This is what I don’t understand. Why would you call liesl obrecht instead of the cops when you first saw peter in nixon falls? Why? Because he threatened james. He said that if he couldn’t find his own daughter, then james would be an adequate substitute. He always loved the idea of raising my brother’s son. That’s terrible. Yeah. But that’s not all, is it? Is it? He blackmailed me. He used threats and pain to buy my silence. What does peter have on you?


I’m not proud about this, but peter knew that I was hiding sonny from all of you, and he threatened to reveal that sonny was alive if I didn’t comply. Is that it? Sonny: What’s going on? Is it? What’s going on here? Huh? I just ran into peter august, and that sick son of a bitch was gloating about — peter — peter’s in G.H.? He’s in custody. No thanks to you! You were so hell-bent on revenge against me, you let peter go free to commit crime after crime after crime. Hey, hey. It’s all right, carly. It’s not okay. I mean, nina just admitted that she let herself be blackmailed by peter because he knew you were alive. And we’re worried about a scene that I’m gonna make here? I mean — if you’ll excuse me. I — no. Do you realize what you’ve done? Do you? Do you realize that — that if you would have turned in peter instead of covering your own ass, peter would have been locked up ages ago? He wouldn’t have been in crete, he wouldn’t have been on cassadine island, and jason would still be alive! You can’t defend her. You can’t defend her here. I mean, the damage that that woman has done, it’s unbelievable! I’m not defending her, carly. You have every right to be angry. I just — look. Jason’s death, I think, has pushed you over the edge. Sasha had a difficult labor, which resulted in emergency surgery, and the baby’s in the nicu. Oh, my god. That’s why your folks are at the hospital, michael.

[ Sighs ] We should get going. I’ll catch up later. Yeah, yeah. You do what you got to do. I’m not going anywhere.

[ Sighs ] Home for the holidays. Not exactly how you pictured it, huh?

[ Sighs ] After the last few years, it’s more than enough just to feel safe and to know that others are safe from me. I’m just happy to be back. You know, maxie told me that me being back has actually given her hope that her daughter will be restored to her. I just don’t know how she does it, but I’m — I’m just so happy that she’s still got hope. Victor cassadine is alive? And working with peter august? Do we know for how long? No, but it seems for some time. There is one other thing. Cassadine cut an immunity deal with the wsb for his freedom. Has he been released? Where is he? Port charles. Uh, thank you for the info. I’m glad you told me. Well, whoever this victor cassadine is, I’m assuming two things — one, you’re not happy he’s back, and two, he’s related to valentin? I’m not. And yes, he is.

[ Sighs ] He’s valentin’s uncle through marriage. And judging from your reaction, I’d imagine he represents some of the less laudable cassadine traits. You have no idea. You know you told me you had all those stories about cyrus? Victor’s havoc is just too long for me to list. Well, last I looked, we got nothing but time. No, we don’T. I’m gonna pack up. I need to get out of here now. Just a moment. Where’s nancy?

[ Sighs ] Sick. You can call the property-management company. Should

I go in and cleanor just leave the stuff here? Okay. I hope your curiosity has been sated. Not really. Let’s not discuss it again. I do find it so distasteful to dredge up the past. Oh, and truly, no need to thank me. However, I may need to avail myself of a favor or two at some point.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, you cassadines never cease to amaze me. But you, victor, you are in a class all your own.

[ Chuckles ] Actually, yes, I am. Thank you. I hope your definition of past doesn’t include recent past. You never shared that you were working with peter. Oh, I have many associates. Are your other associates madmen as well? Well, I’ve come to realize that my arrangement with peter was, I’d say, ill-advised. And what was that arrangement again? You know, perhaps you find my questions rude, but the compound on crete was mine originally. I placed it at your disposal, and I feel I have the right to know what happened there. I gave peter access to my vast resources in exchange for something that only peter could give me in return. Well, don’t keep us in suspense. Tell us, uncle — what could peter have offered you that would persuade you to form such an unholy alliance? Of course I’m angry about jason. Aren’t you? I mean, he was my best friend. He was your best friend. I’m — I’m angry, too, carly. Jason deserved better. But I’m just trying to channel my energy into making sure whoever’s responsible is gonna pay. So you’re saying my reaction to jason’s death is inappropriate? I mean, it’s no less appropriate than how I reacted when you died. Right. Your husband. I’m not saying that your grieving is wrong. Then what are you saying? Please make me understand. What are you saying?

[ Cellphone chimes ] Just deal with that. You just deal with that right now. No. I’m not gonna do — I have to get something for sasha, okay? So you just — you’re upset. I’m not gonna… all right. Well…

[ Elevator bell dings ] Carly, will you slow down?


Mom texted. She’s on the fourth floor. Okay. Go and find her. You two need to talk. I’ll, um — I’ll wait here. Maybe I’ll go say a little prayer for sasha and her baby.

[ Sighs ] You okay? I’m fine. It’s okay. Go. We’ll all feel so much better once louise is back in maxie’s arms, where she belongs. I just can’t imagine the pain that she has had to endure. I mean, I missed scout so much. I thought about her every single day, but at least I knew that she was safe. I can’t wait for that monster to be locked up forever and his hold over maxie will be finished. I understand that more than you know. Maxie and I were talking, and we were both put in — in impossible positions where we had to do unimaginable things for survival. She told you what she did? She didn’t have to. I’ll tell you this, though. I will not feel like peter’s hold on me is broken until he is dead. That works, too. Whoa. Excuse me. I’m a cop, remember? Not for the next six months. I mean, peter tried to poison you to death. Chase was given a toxin. It nearly paralyzed him. He was in a wheelchair for months. He had to completely relearn how to walk. And look at you now, being able to pace back and forth with your beautiful baby girl. Hey, would it be okay if — if I held her? Uh, sure. Yeah. Sure. Hi, beauty. I remember when scout was this old. It’s so true what they say. They grew up so, so fast. Cherish every moment you canwith your little girl. You are so beautiful. Texting me I-is not a good idea, nina. I know. Okay? But I contacted you because i wanted to warn you about peter. What? I saw peter, and he threatened that he was going to tell carly that our relationship in nixon falls was deeper than friendship, and I’m assuming that carly still doesn’t know, and I tried to cover. But, sonny, you know peter. He’s like a loose cannon. The timing of this is horrible. But, sonny — carly is upset with everything going on. But I’m gonna — you’re not responsible for jason’s death. They know that, right? I know that — I do. And I know peter is responsible for his own actions. But carly’s rage towards me is not completely misplaced. You know, my bad choices have a ripple effect, and they just… keep growing. And if I have to say I am sorry for — for the rest of my life, sonny, I will. Y-you don’t have to apologize to me. But just — look. Right now, the — the timing is not good. So n-nobody needs to know. You’re entitled to grieve however you need to without judgment. But there’s a young couple down the hall grappling with unimaginable fear and uncertainty, and I don’t want you banned from the hospital when sasha needs your support. I was on my way to ask about a body pillow for sasha… when I ran into that monster. Body pillows definitely help post-op c-section patients. I’ll look into that. Oh, no, you don’t, madam mayor. You can’t go bolting out of here. Victor cassadine is now a short drive from nikolas and spencer. All right. Okay. So you think they’re in danger? There is an fbi agent right on the other side of that door. We’ll talk to silva. We’ll get him protected. No. No. I-I actually don’t think that he would physically harm them anyway.

[ Sighs ] He’s a masterful manipulator. You know, he — he’s a bully who has that uncanny ability to sniff out somebody’s weakness and use it against them. He excels at blackmail. He’s always got an agenda, an objective. He’s completely amoral. He’ll use absolutely anyone. And to make matters worse, he’s not hurting for connections, either, ’cause he used to run the wsb. I admit, he sounds formidable. Yeah. I mean, in his own way, he’s every bit as dangerous as cyrus. So look. Just because I’m going doesn’t mean that you have to, too. You can stay here. You don’t have put yourself at risk. Oh, I don’t intend to put myself at risk, and I’m not going to allow my sister to, either. As much as I admire a tenacious woman, I’m afraid I can’t indulge you, ava. My former business with peter is strictly off limits. I’m tenacious, too, uncle. The question is still on the table. Well, I really must be going. I do hope this trifling business with peter doesn’t become a sticking point between us. What if it does? We’re family, nikolas. We’re gonna be needing each other in the weeks and months to come. You were always a smart man. Smart and useful to your uncle. It’s such a relief I won’t have to remind you that any repercussions visited on me will likewise land on your doorstep. This place really is quite wonderful.

[ Door opens, closes ] What now? Well, we’re gonna have to send uncle victor packing — on a one-way trip to anywhere but here.


come here, cookie. I could do this all night. I have done this all night. It just — it just kills me that maxie is missing out on moments like this. I will not let maxie’s daughter be peter’s final victim. I am not gonna rest until I find louise. Well, this is quite the reversal. You assured me that your uncle could be trusted, that he would never betray his family. That was before I heard about what he’s done on my behalf. And don’t forget that last little threat before he left. Oh, there’s nothing little about it. My uncle has selective memory. I don’t owe him. He owes me. I kept his existence a secret for years. I provided him a home on crete. I didn’t incriminate him when anna was breathing down my neck. As far as I’m concerned, my debt to him is paid and he shouldn’t expect anything from me. He can. And he does. You heard him. You know, as much as you want to distance us from victor, I think the smart thing to do is bide our time and wait, no standoffs or showdowns. If there is even a hint that we want to sever ties, when victor goes down, he will drag us to hell with him. I can’t just sit here and play video games… yes, you can. …When victor cassadine is roaming the streets of port charles. I understand if you are co– I have to protect my family, my friends, but also the citizens of port charles. You want to protect the people you care about. So do I. And other than mama, that means you. So you might as well sit down and deal, little sister, ’cause you’re not leaving. It’s too dangerous. We are in protective custody for a reason. Until the fbi gives us the say-so, you and I have targets painted on our backs. And somewhere out there is a hired gun just waiting to take a shot. No problem. The fed bought the whole “sick nancy” story. So…what’s my next move? Thank you… for reminding me what’s most important.

[ Exhales deeply ] I need to stay present for sasha. I need to stay clear-headed, to make sure anyone responsible for jason’s death pays. I will go check on that pillow. Hey, mom. Michael.

[ Voice breaking ] You heard about jason? Yeah. Your dad and I, we just wanted to tell you to your face, you know? We didn’t want you to hear about it… I am so sorry. How are you and — you and dad? We’re devastated. Look, uh, drew, he — he told me what happened. And from the sound of it, right, there’s — there’s still hope. No body was found. I mean, look, d-dad came back to us, right? Right. Yeah. I’m gonna go pay peter a visit, make sure he keeps his mouth shut. Whatever happened between us in nixon falls, it has to come from me. And it will. Okay. I get it. But…despite all the pain that it caused — and I know that we’re going on with our lives — it’s just I need to let you know that the love that we shared is the purest thing that I’ve ever known in my life. And I am sorry — I am so sorry — but I could never… regret that.

      “48 Hours” Investigates in “Who Killed Rachael DelTondo?”
      More than three years after Rachael DelTondo was murdered outside of her family home in Pennsylvania, a search is still underway for the person who killed her and why. Erin Moriarty and 48 HOURS investigate the murder and seeks answers in “Who Killed Rachael DelTondo?” to be broadcast Saturday, Dec. 11 (10:01 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+.
      The case has consumed Aliquippa, Pa. DelTondo was killed on Mother’s Day 2018 after returning from a trip for ice cream with friends. At the time DelTondo was killed, she was the ninth unsolved murder in a city with an underfunded and understaffed police department. There were initially several leads to follow, including the actions of an Aliquippa High School athlete named Sheldon Jeter. The night of DelTondo’s murder, texts suggest that Jeter may have been trying to track her movements. And after the shooting, DelTondo’s mother, Lisa, told 48 HOURS, she immediately suspected Jeter.
      “He was obsessed with her,” Lisa DelTondo told Erin Moriarty.
      But Jeter’s lawyer Michael Santicola says his client had nothing to do with Rachael DelTondo’s murder. “There’s no evidence there that ties him to the crime,” says Santicola.
      Then this past summer, Sheldon Jeter was convicted of killing a different friend after a trip to get ice cream. With his arrest and conviction in that case, attention has again been drawn to the unsolved murder of DelTondo.
      “The investigation right now is active. My detectives, my prosecutors – are working continuously,” Beaver County District Attorney David Lozier tells Moriarty.
      “Do you believe that someone will be arrested in this case?” Moriarty asks.
      “I think we’ll have answers,” Lozier says.
      And 48 HOURS has learned that a Pennsylvania state grand jury has heard evidence about Jeter’s possible involvement in DelTondo’s death.
      “We’re pleased with the quality of the evidence that we have,” Lozier says. “And we’ll make an announcement when we believe that we can win a case to the criminal standard of beyond a reasonable doubt.”
      48 HOURS: “Who Killed Rachel DelTondo?” is produced by Judy Rybak. Hannah Vair is the associate producer. Joan Adelman and Atticus Brady are the editors. Patti Aronofsky is the senior producer. Nancy Kramer is the executive story editor. Judy Tygard is the executive producer.

    Adam: Hey. How are you? Is everything okay?

    Chelsea: Everything’s going great here. I’m just calling to check in on connor.

    Adam: Um, he’s fine, chelsea.

    Chelsea: Well, christmas is only a few weeks away, so i thought we should discuss the gifts we’re giving him.

    [ Cellphone chimes ]

    Adam: Um…actually, uh, now’s not a good time. Something just came up, and i have to deal with it. So I’ll talk to you later, okay?

    Sally: Doesn’t sound like good news.

    Nikki: Well, the offer you and ashland made to buy chanccomm? We just got our answer.

    Victoria: And?

    Lily: Well, it’s official. Jill’s made her decision about chanccomm.

    Victor: Oh, my goodness.

    Ashley: Hi.

    Victor: Goodness, so nice to see you. I’m so happy you’re back. So you and jack were able to track our daughter down?

    Ashley: Yes.

    Victor: Really?

    Ashley: Yes.

    Victor: Is she home safe now?

    Ashley: But I’ve got so much more things to tell you. I — it’s so incredible. I wasn’t able to tell you on the phone from spain because it’s a security risk.

    Victor: Well, what is it?

    Ashley: I can’t believe this, but abby was right. She was right to trust her instincts. Chance is alive, and she brought him home.

    Victor: No. Are you serious? Oh, my goodness.

    Chance: Wow. I feel like a complete stranger coming back here. It’s just been so long, I — I feel so disconnected from this place.

    Abby: This is your life. Here, with me, with our baby. Everything that happened in spain, all of the bravery, all of the danger that you escaped, that was your job. This is your home, where you belong. It’s time to leave that nightmare behind you.

    Jack: Abby!

    Abby: Jill.

    Jill: Abby?

    [ Gasps ] Oh, my god, chance.

    Abby: It’s him, it’s really him.

    Jill: Oh, my god.

    Abby: [ Laughs ]

    Jill: Oh, my god.

    [ Laughs ] Oh. Oh!

    Chance: Mm.

    Jill: Oh.

    Chance: [ Laughs ]

    Devon: I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that abby actually went and found chance alive.

    Amanda: I know. Wow. They must really be looking forward to starting their life together as a family.

    Devon: Yeah. I’m sure they are. I’m sure they are. I have to get dominic’s things together.

    Amanda: Yeah.

    Devon: [ Sighs ]

    [ Sighs ] Don’t want to forget his favorite toy. He loves this thing.

    [ Dominic fussing ] Ohh. What’s wrong? What’s the matter? What’s the matter? It’s okay. Here, here. Oh, there you go. Oh, here we go. There we go. You’re okay.

    Amanda: This is gonna be hard for you, isn’t it?

    Devon: What do you mean?

    Amanda: Well, the short period of time that dominic’s been here, you’ve grown so attached to him. I think it’s gonna be difficult for you to send him home. Nope

    Jill: Oh, my god, chance. Oh, my god, I can’t believe it. You’re really here.

    Abby: He really is. I found him.

    Jill: Well, what happened?

    Chance: Yeah, I mean, long story short, I was just getting back to the safe house when they attacked us. I figured my best shot at escaping was to make everyone believe that I was dead, so i took off my ring, I took off my watch, and I left them behind, and — and then I fled.

    Abby: But I knew in my heart that he wasn’t gone. He had told me a story about some medics that he worked with in iraq — kim and errol. They were field medics who saved so many lives.

    Chance: Yeah, and now they’re living in majorca, and they agreed to help hide me out.

    Abby: [ Sighs ] So I found some letters that chance had gotten from them, and on a hunch, I called kim, and she told me that chance was alive and with her.

    Jill: Oh, my god. This is so incredible. It makes me believe in miracles. Thank you. Abby, thank you for finding my grandson and bringing him home.

    Abby: Everyone just wanted me to accept that he was gone, but I couldn’T. I just couldn’T.

    Jill: Thank god you didn’T. Oh, honey, your determination and your bravery, and I know it’s not easy to listen to your heart when everybody’s telling you something different. And you!

    Abby: [ Laughs ]

    Jill: God! How could you do this to us? How could you not let us know you were alive?

    Chance: It’s so good to see you, too, grandma.

    Jill: Oh, my god, oh, my god. Oh, thank god. Oh. [ Laughs ]

    Chance: [ Sighs ]

    Victoria: Well, this looks like a clear response to our unofficial offer to buy chanccomm.

    Nikki: Seems like jill wants to turn it into a bidding war.

    Victoria: I’m not surprised. I mean, it is her media division to do with as she pleases, and we know she can’t be too pleased with the precarious situation that billy has put it in. I have to say, I’m a little disappointed that lily and billy weren’t able to convince her to sell chanccomm to us.

    Nikki: Well, it’s not that different from the way ashland handled the sale of cyaxares.

    Victoria: Yes, but he did it with a lot more game play. I mean, he actually cared who ended up with his company. He strategically ferreted out the best possible candidates. On the other hand, jill seems to want to wash her hands of the whole matter.

    Nikki: Well, I can’t blame her for that, given the circumstances.

    Victoria: You know, there’s nothing in the announcement that protects lily’s connection the division, so that means the sale has left her out in the cold alongside billy.

    Nikki: Hmm. Well, maybe it’s an oversight. Or maybe it’s a negotiating point that jill wants to hold back for now.

    Victoria: Or maybe jill blames both of them equally for the hit that chanccomm has taken.

    Billy: I’m not gonna enjoy admitting this, but my mother putting chanccomm up to the highest bidder is actually a very smart move. I’m sure all the interested parties are sharpening their knives right now. Which means could be fun.

    Lily: You know you don’t have to pretend like you’re okay with this. I mean, we put our heart and soul into that company.

    Billy: Yes, we did, and now it’s done, and you’re moving on to bigger opportunities. By the way, have you told my mother you’re gonna accept the job as chancellor’s new ceo? Hey, you are gonna accept the job, aren’t you? Okay, good. So you need to tell her as soon as possible, so they can tell the world that you’re moving on to bigger and better things, that the mess at chancellor was not your responsibility. I do not want that interfering with your reputation in any way.

    Lily: I’m not thinking about my reputation right now. I’m really proud of what we built at chanccomm, you know? I know we argued a lot because we have different styles, but that’s what made us so good together.

    Billy: We had a good run.

    Lily: Yes, which is why come to chancellor with me. Come on, be my chief operating officer.

    Billy: I already turned that job down when my mother offered it to me.

    Lily: I know, but I’m offering it to you.

    Billy: I can’t do it.

    Lily: Okay, why not? Why?

    Billy: Because you don’t need me, and you certainly don’t need my baggage following you around and complicating your new position.

    Lily: If I’m not thinking about that, you shouldn’t either. Unless what, do you not want to be my subordinate?

    Billy: No, that’s not it at all. Granted, nobody really likes to take a demotion, but I’ve got no problem acknowledging that you are my superior.

    Lily: Then why won’t you take the job?

    Billy: [ Sighs ] I’ve got two areas of expertise — media and cosmetics. And once chanccomm is sold, neither one of those are under chancellor’s umbrella.

    Lily: Okay, who cares? You’re a very fast learner.

    Billy: On top of that, my mother already admitted that the only reason she offered me this job was to give me a safe landing spot and keep me out of trouble. And that’s a little embarrassing.

    Lily: Yeah, I don’t care what her intent was. I see this role as vital. You will have a lot of responsibility.

    Billy: [ Sighs ] You don’t need me. You can do this on your own, lily. In fact, I think it’s better. There are people out there that think your only position at chanccomm was to babysit me, okay? They do not know what you’re capable of. And this is your opportunity to get everything that you deserve.

    Lily: I know, but when jill announces me as sole ceo of chancellor, people will see that, and you coming to work with me is not gonna change that.

    Billy: I love you and I plan to spend the rest of my life with you, and I’m gonna watch you soar from the sidelines, cheering you on, okay? On top of that, I’ve got other plans.

    Lily: Yeah, I know, and that’s what I’m worried about.

    Adam: Jill abbott has just added a new wrinkle to our plans for chanccomm. It’s not the worst news in the world, but it is an annoyance. She’s put the division up for sale to the highest bidder.

    Sally: Okay, I’m confused. I thought the opportunity to grab chanccomm is actually what you wanted. That the whole scheme with you and your father regarding billy would somehow lead to getting control of it.

    Adam: Maybe so. Maybe not, but jill opening up things like this, it gives newman media a lot less control over the situation. A bidding war comes with a lot of unknowns.

    Sally: [ Sighs ] Yeah, but all you have to do is bid high, right?

    Adam: If only it were that simple. We’ll have no idea who we’re competing with. It’s not the negotiating position I was hoping for. But there is one positive that will remain constant.

    Sally: What’s that?

    Adam: Billy loses no matter who wins.

    Sally: [ Huffs ]

    Lily: I got the feeling that you were formulating some kind of plan when you told me not to worry about you last night.

    Billy: Is that my reputation? Do I come across as always scheming?

    Lily: [ Scoffs ] Do you really want me to answer that?

    Billy: [ Sighs ] Look, yesterday, I was sifting through all the damage that victor and adam inflicted, and i had a thought. Do I really want to get back at them? The truth is I do, but not at the expense of losing you or before your future is secured. I will not do anything until you are announced as the new ceo at chancellor. I don’t want anything to distract from your accomplishments or undermine you in any way.

    Lily: Well, I really appreciate you waiting, but you have to tell me what you’re planning.

    Billy: I will. I’m not gonna lie to you about anything, but I will say, i don’t think you’re gonna like it.

    Victor: Well, that is incredible news. I mean, that’s incredible. So dominic will have his father and abby will have her husband.

    Ashley: Abby is just ecstatic, as you can imagine. She’s over the moon.

    Victor: [ Sighs ] I was worried about our daughter. And there was a chance that she’d lost her husband, i thought she might go off the deep-end, you know?

    Ashley: I know. Well, I’ve experienced that kind of grief and it was unbearable for me to think that my daughter would have to, as well.

    Victor: Yeah, horrible. By the way, how is chance?

    Ashley: Well, all the other team members, they died in the explosion, so unfortunately, he’s bearing the weight of all that grief and all that trauma. So much so that he felt obligated to stay there, victor, and finish the mission.

    Victor: Oh, my goodness.

    Ashley: Thankfully, abby was able to convince him to come home.

    Victor: Wow, you mean there was a chance that he might have stayed?

    Ashley: Yes. I mean, it’s just a testament to her strength, to her — her love for him, her sheer sense of will, that she convinced him to come home.

    Victor: That’s our daughter. Who do you think she has this strength from? Both of us, huh? So I think that once he gets to know his son — and I speak from experience — he will change all of his priorities.

    Jill: You were hurt? You were hurt? How bad? Did you get treatment for it? Darling, please don’t ignore it. We don’t want you in the hospital.

    Chance: Grandma, really, I’m fine. I am, I’m totally fine. I did hurt my leg, but I was treated by the best.

    Abby: Kim and errol didn’t just heal chance, they kept him safe, too.

    Chance: They sure did, and at great risk to themselves, too. I just feel terrible for what i put everyone through. But given the danger of the situation and the potential threat to my family, I just — I didn’t really have a choice. I couldn’t have lived with myself if something had happened to any of you or dominic, you know.

    Jill: No, I understand. I mean, you acted honorably and selflessly. Even not seeing your new son.

    Chance: Who I get meet for the first time today.

    Jill: Where is my grandson — great-grandson, my great-grandson?

    Abby: Devon’s been looking after him. He is so good with the baby, and he’s just an amazing friend.

    Devon: I really couldn’t be happier that dominic’s being united with both of his parents, you know? ‘Cause it’s something that we never thought would happen. So his whole family’s together now.

    Jill: Alright, I will not delay you for another second, but I want to see you back here today, okay? ‘Cause you know I can’t wait to meet little dominic newman abbott chancellor for the very first time.

    Chance: Every time I hear his full name, it just makes me smile.

    Abby: [ Laughs ]

    [ Cellphone rings ]

    Chance: Oh. Excuse me. It’s my section chief. Gordan ramsey

    Chance: Yes, sir. Thank you for the update, sir.

    Abby: So…what did he say?

    Chance: Well, he said that there’s been a positive development with the mission. They’ve assembled a new team to take over, and he said the work that my team and I did led to a new breakthrough that should help them track down these attackers.

    Abby: That’s great.

    Chance: Yeah.

    Jill: It’s excellent news.

    Chance: That means the work that we did was not in vain. They’re once step closer to nailing these guys.

    Abby: [ Sighs ] Well, that’s amazing.

    Chance: He also wanted me to know that they’re taking further steps to ensure our safety here. He’s assigned a security detail to genoa city, so we may not see them, but they are here, keeping watch.

    Abby: Do you know what this means? For you personally, for all of us?

    Chance: It’s almost over.

    Abby: Oh!

    Jill: Alright, now get out of here and go meet your son!

    [ Laughter ]

    Abby: Mm.

    Nikki: So how do you feel? Do you want to just walk away and not even make a bid on chanccomm?

    Victoria: I have to discuss it with ashland.

    Nikki: Well, no, of course, i know that. I’m just wondering what your gut reaction is.

    Victoria: I take no pleasure watching billy humiliated by adam taking over chanccomm, but as we know, and as adam has made it clear, he wants to gut and dismantle everything that billy has ever accomplished.

    Nikki: So are you saying you want to get into a bidding war with newman media?

    Victoria: Mother, their whole plan was designed to undermine billy and to weaken chanccomm so that dad and adam could move in, and I doubt that jill offering it up to the highest bidder is going to diminish their desire to get their hands on it, which means they’re gonna be even more aggressive with their bidding and in their tactics.

    Nikki: That’s a very good reason against it. I mean, the last thing our family needs right now is more conflict.

    Victoria: It’s just a business decision. I’m not going to let my personal feelings get in the way of this.

    Nikki: Darling, this involves your brother, your father, and your ex-husband. How can you avoid that?

    Victoria: My father has been in similar predicaments in his career, and I — I intend to be exactly the kind of businesswoman that he taught me to be.

    Lily: After everything you have been through, you want to attempt something this complex and risky?

    Billy: That’s exactly why i need to do it. Surely you can understand that.

    Lily: Yeah, I get the intent, but this could all blow up in your face.

    Billy: Well, that’s the case with everything in life, isn’t it?

    Lily: Okay, even if you pull this off — and it’s a very huge “if” — what do you accomplish other than revenge?

    Billy: There’s something missing in all of this. All of these talks about who’s gonna pick over the carcass of the company that we built, and that is the fact that ashland locke is guilty as hell. Everything in that article was 100% true. The forged letter, the stolen inheritance that he built his entire empire on, and the fact that it took decades of him hiding it to keep it all under wraps.

    Lily: Yeah, I know. You and I know that.

    Billy: Yeah, and so victor and adam, but the only thing they were concerned about in all of this was cutting me off at the knees, so if that’s revenge, then maybe so. If I can pull this off, I stick it to adam where it hurts most and I turn the tables on the newmans, and to me, that is a satisfying conclusion to this mess. Most importantly, this is about untarnishing my reputation.

    Lily: Yeah, no, I understand your motive, but —

    Billy: Lily, I need you to trust me. I don’t plan on failing this time, and I understand that’s rich coming from me, but when the time comes and the moment is right, I hope that you can be in my corner. Sweet pillows of softness!

    “The young and the restless”

    will continue.

    Sally: So you’re saying that even if you don’t end up owning chanccomm, you would be satisfied if billy loses control of it?

    Adam: Exactly. He used the company as a launchpad to personally attack me and my family.

    Sally: Well, I guess that makes you a cockeyed optimist, seeing the glass as half-full.

    Adam: [ Sighs ] I don’t want it half-full. I want it up to the brim, and i want it overflowing.

    Sally: Okay, well, I’m just glad that whatever happens won’t have a negative impact on newman media because I have big plans for our fashion platform. I want to build on our success.

    Adam: Well, good, I am counting on that.

    Sally: But if you do need my help…

    Adam: Thank you, but no.

    [ Cellphone rings ] Um, I’m sorry, but I have to take this. Just stick to your day job. You are doing great there. Will you please shut the door on your way out?

    Sally: Yeah.

    Adam: What did you find out?

    Sally: [ Sighs ]

    Jill: I am so thrilled to have you on board, lily.

    Lily: Oh, thank you.

    Jill: And, billy, I want to make sure that you’re okay with all this. Honey, I know that you’re still upset over some of the decisions that I’ve made.

    Billy: We don’t need to rehash this, mom.

    Jill: Oh, but I think we do. So [Sighs] I know it didn’t sit well with you that I have decided to sell chanccomm to the highest bidder. I know you’re afraid that adam and victor are just gonna take it over, but I want you to understand exactly why I did it the way I’m doing it.

    Billy: Okay, I’m able to step back and see this as a business perspective, okay? And I understand your reasoning for it. Doesn’t really matter how i feel. We have more important things to discuss, like making an announcement immediately, saying that lily is taking over for you at chancellor industries when you step down.

    Lily: I’m very excited by this opportunity, jill.

    Jill: Oh, honey, I have every confidence in you.

    Billy: Well, I think it’s time you make a public declaration of that confidence. The world needs to know that lily is not responsible for the debacle at chanccomm. That was my fault.

    Jill: [ Laughs ] I’m very impressed with this attitude of yours. However, I am way ahead of you. Check your e-mails.

    Billy: [ Sighs ] “Jill abbott will be retiring as ceo of chancellor industries in the near future, but will stay on in an advisory role. She is proud to announce that she will be appointing lily winters as her replacement.”

    Jill: You know, I’m proud of you, too, billy, for getting past your anger and for focusing on lily and what’s best for her. Now, I have something else to tell you.

    Amanda: Hey.

    Devon: Hey.

    Amanda: You ready?

    Devon: Yeah, I am.

    Amanda: Yeah?

    [ Knock on door ]

    Devon: Hey, guys. Gosh, I just got the news, and i still can’t believe it, man. Get in here.

    Abby: Hi!

    Devon: It’s so good to se you.

    Chance: Good to see you.

    Amanda: Welcome home.

    Chance: Hey, thank you. Got to give abby a lot of credit for that.

    Abby: [ Chuckles ]

    Devon: Yeah, yeah, she definitely never gave up on you, but you scared us to death when you disappeared the way you did.

    Abby: I know. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to worry you, but I just needed some time alone. I needed to clear my head and think everything through.

    Devon: Yeah. No, I understand, and you proved us all wrong.

    Abby: Everything inside of my was telling me that chance was still alive. I just — I couldn’t let it go, and I was right. And my husband is back.

    Chance: And now I’m ready to meet my son.

    [ Chuckles ]

    Devon: Yeah.

    Trelegy for copd.

    Devon: Alright, so dominic’s sleeping upstairs, but this is all of his stuff.

    Abby: You know, I really can’t thank you enough — taking dominic in your home. I mean, the way that you’ve been there for us every step of the way. You’ve really been my rock.

    Devon: Well, you don’t have to thank me for that. That’s what friends do.

    Abby: You will always have a very important role in dominic’s life.

    Devon: Yeah, I know that. You won’t be able to keep me away.

    [ Chuckles ]

    Chance: Look, man, I know i owe you more than words can saY. You’ve been a constant for dominic since the very beginning. I mean, you even helped bring him in to this world. You’ve been the strong and steady presence that my son’s needed. And the father figure that i couldn’t be, so thank you.

    Devon: Yeah, yeah, man. Hey, it’s — you know, the reason that I got involved in the first place was to help you guys, you know, make your dream of having a family a reality. And none of us could have seen this play out the way it did, so the most important thing is that you guys are both back.

    Chance: Yeah, we are ready to start that dream, right?

    Abby: I’m gonna find a way to pay you back for everything.

    Devon: Oh, get out of here, abby. I — you don’t have to do that. The only thing I want is to know that you’re in a better head space emotionally than before you left.

    Abby: How could I not be?

    Chance: [ Chuckles ]

    Lily: Wait, this is amazing. Chance is alive?

    Jill: [ Laughing ] Yeah.

    Billy: And on his way to meet his baby boy as we speak.

    Jill: Yes, but this is not for public consumption. Not just yet.

    Lily: Okay.

    Billy: I don’t understand. Why all the secrecy?

    Jill: Well, even though precautions are being taken, chance could still be in danger from the people that he was after, and by extension, his family could be at risk, too. And on another note, ugh, can you imagine what my grandson is going through after that ordeal?

    Billy: I hope you know that you can trust me to keep your confidence, despite some of the decisions I’ve made recently.

    Jill: Son, I have decided to focus on the future, and i really encourage you to do the same thing. You realize this is not an ending, alright? I mean, hopefully this is gonna be a brand-new beginning for all of us, and I’m sure that something good is gonna come out of this.

    Billy: I feel the exact same way.

    Jill: Great. Okay. I’m off to meet precious little dominic. I’m so excited. Alright, I’ll talk to you both later.

    Lily: Okay, have fun.

    Jill: Bye.

    Lily: Bye. Oh, my gosh, can you believe that? I mean, abby must be over the moon.

    Billy: I’m very happy for abby and her family, and how about my mom, being so proactive with that announcement? It’s exactly what I wanted her to do.

    Lily: Oh, so you could be free to put your plan in motion?

    Billy: No, so the rest of the world finds out exactly what i already know — that you are a smart, talented star that is on the rise.

    Lily: [ Chuckles ] Well, thank you for saying that, but we should focus on the task at hand, which is getting to the office and letting the staff know what’s going on.

    Billy: I thought we already sent out a memo.

    Lily: I know, but I think some face-to-face is in order.

    Billy: [ Sighs ] Okay. Why don’t you head back and get started, round up the troops. I’ve got a phone call to make, and I’ll meet you there.

    Lily: Look, I know that you are more upset than you let jill realize, and I know that you would be really upset if victor and adam took over chanccomm. So I have to ask you, are you moving forward with your plan?

    Billy: I’m not ready to make a move quite yet. I mean it. I’m not gonna do anything until I have worked out every single detail. Even the slightest hiccup right now would mean I don’t get what I want.

    Lily: Okay. I’ll see you at the office.

    Billy: Hey. I’m proud of you.

    Lily: Thank you.

    Adam: Have you seen this?

    Victor: Huh. I’m impressed. No kidding. Well, that’s a brilliant move on jill’s part, naming lily as her successor.

    Adam: Yes. It appears jill is distancing herself from her own son.

    Victor: Of course she is. She’s a smart businesswoman, he’s an idiot.

    Adam: His own mother. That’s got to sting.

    Victor: Yeah.

    Adam: But the calculus has changed now that she’s put it up for bidding. We could end up paying a lot more money for chanccomm than we originally intended, and it blows up our plans to cannibalize and dismantle the company.

    Victor: Ah, makes it a bit more complicated, doesn’t it?

    Adam: Yeah, we’ve successfully cut billy off at the knees. I mean, he’s been humiliated publicly, with his lame retraction, and privately, when he had to step down and beg for mercy. So do you just want to leave it at that? Or do you want to make a play to get control of chanccomm?

    Victor: [ Chuckles ] We’ll see.

    Why is la roche-posay

    worldwide?

    Victor: Curious to know how all this will play out, you know? The fact that jill opened up the bidding for chanccomm makes things a bit more complicated. But you love that challenge, don’t you?

    Adam: [ Sighs ] I do.

    Victor: Ah. You know that victoria’s going to join the bidding, as well. If, for no other reason, but to prevent us, newman media, from getting control of it.

    Adam: You think she wants to avoid adding insult to injury because billy’s suffered enough.

    Victor: Yeah. Something like that. So curious to find out how far victoria will go to get what she wants.

    Victoria: Well, at least that answers our question. Jill has made it very clear where lily stands in her eyes.

    Nikki: I’m sure you are wondering how all of this is affecting billy.

    Victoria: Mom, I’m sure he’s happy for lily and relieved that he didn’t ruin her future, too. So at least now one of them can come out of this unscathed.

    Nikki: That would be a very appropriate attitude for him to have, yes.

    Victoria: But I know billy, and I — even though he’s not admitting this to anyone, I know that this is hurting him. I’m really glad that I made the decision to send the kids to boarding school for the rest of the year.

    Nikki: Have you told billy that you made that decision yet?

    Victoria: No, no, but I’m going to. I’m gonna make it clear that I’m committed to doing this, because I think this is the kind of thing that could push him off the rails. Things could get really ugly.

    Sally: [ Sighs ] Hey. Heard the news. That’s got to hurt.

    Billy: I’ve had better days.

    Sally: You look like you could use some company.

    Ashley: Hi. Oh, don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll be back here soon. They know how anxious you are to meet dominic.

    Jill: Okay, good, but as long as I have you here, I’d like to hear a few more details about what happened in spain. Okay? I didn’t want to upset abby, but why in the hell couldn’t chance have found a way to let us know that he wasn’t dead?

    Ashley: There was a security issue.

    Jill: Oh, you can’t tell me there wasn’t one single federal agent in all of the government that couldn’t have let us know that he didn’t die in that explosion? They had to know what his family was going through.

    Ashley: Jill, I think they truly believed that he didn’t survive. Everybody else perished in that explosion. Chance didn’t know who he could trust. He didn’t want to put his family in danger. Does that make sense?

    Jill: So he was protecting us by letting us live through hell, right?

    [ Sighs ] Well, he’s just lucky that abby was the one who found him and brought him home, ’cause if it had been me, I would’ve throttled him on the spot.

    Ashley: Sure, okay, I know you’re, you know, a real tough guy. We all know that you’re just a softy.

    Jill: [ Laughs ] Yeah. You know something? I am really, really tired. Tired of fighting everything, in business, in life. And that’s why I decided to step down from chancellor. I am ready to be the laid-back matriarch of the family.

    Ashley: [ Laughs ] Okay. Oh, great, that’s fantastic. Good luck with the “laid-back” part.

    Jill: [ Chuckles ]

    Devon: Alright, buddy. Got somebody that really wants to meet you.

    Abby: [ Gasps ]

    Devon: He’s been looking forward to it for a very long time.

    Abby: Hi. Hi, buddy.

    Devon: Chance, here’s your — your son, man.

    Chance: Hey, guy. Hey, big guy.

    Devon: Dominic, that’s — that’s your dad.

    Abby: Oh.

    Chance: Hey!

    Abby: Hi.

    Chance: Hey, buddy. Look at you. Oh, you’re so precious. I got you. You’re so perfect.

    [ Dominic crying ] Oh, it’s okay.

    Abby: It’s okay.

    Chance: It’s okay. I got you, big guy. My boy.

    [ Laughs ] Hey, buddy.

    [ Dominic fussing ] Shh, shh, shh. I got you, buddy. Hey.

    [ Chuckles ]

    Next week on

    “the young and the restless”…

    Billy: I would like you to join me and buy chanccomm from my mother.

    Adam: I was thinking about what you said yesterday about your run-in with billy.

    Sally: Are you asking me to spy for you?

    Abby: And what matters is that you’re home with people who love you.

    Chance: I am just so grateful.

    Abby: In fact, my dad is so excited that you’re back that he wants to throw a party to welcome you home.

    Interview with Corbin Bleu and Monique Coleman

    TV Interview!

    Interview with Corbin Bleu and Monique Coleman of "Christmas Dance Reunion" 12/3 on Lifetime

    Interview with Corbin Bleu and Monique Coleman of “Christmas Dance Reunion” on Lifetime by Suzanne 11/8/21

    This was part of a Lifetime Christmas press panel. I really enjoyed seeing the movies and speaking everyone. What made this movie so special is all of the great dancing. It was nice to chat with these two. Corbin used to be on “One Life to Live,” so I was thrilled to speak with him.

    MODERATOR:  Hi, everyone, and welcome to our third panel for today.  I would like to introduce Monique Coleman and Corbin Bleu of this year’s “A Christmas Dance Reunion”.  We’re gonna go ahead and get the questions started.  Noah has the first question.  Noah?

    QUESTION:  Hello.  It is so great to be here with you guys.  By the way, you look fabulous and happy holidays to both of you.  My first question is to you, Corbin.  We see two high school dance partners get back together for the holidays.  So many fans from “High School Musical”, including myself, will watch this and think this is the perfect holiday storyline for the two of you, as you both have worked together on the Disney Network in “High School Musical”.  But how does this holiday story throw us back to some of the “High School Musical” memories?  Because I did see a photo when I screened of you and Monique, and it was back during — I think in the gym of “High School Musical”.  I was like, “Oh my gosh, this is fantastic.”

    CORBIN BLEU:  Honestly, getting to work on this project settled so many dreams coming true.  At this time, I mean, it was October of 2020 when we went out to go shoot, so coming on the tail end of a quarantine and not working for a period of time.  It was also election time.  There was a lot of — just a lot of chaos at the time and in our minds.  And all of a sudden, we go on this journey to go to Canada, get out of the U.S. for a minute.  And we get to reunite in this film that we haven’t been on screen together in 13 years.  And when I tell you every single moment on set was just comfort.  And there are a lot of moments in the film that when I watched it looking at just how easy the romance comes and how easy the connection came, and that was real.  I mean, it just — it’s…it truly is such a beautiful, wonderful thing to be able to work with a person that you love from the bottom of your heart.  I mean, Mo, I love you.  You’re, like, you’re —

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  I know.

    CORBIN BLEU:  You’re my sis.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  I’m like, oh my God.

    CORBIN BLEU:  There was just so — honestly, I could go on and on so much because then on top of it, my wife, Sasha Clements, is also another lead part in the film.  So there was all of this just love, just this lovefest on camera and on set.

    QUESTION:  Now, Monique, just speaking of “High School Musical”, there was a lot of dance that would go on in the show.  Because it was a musical, there was a lot of dance routines that would happen.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Yeah.

    QUESTION:  I really think dance brings us together and I think that definitely shows in this holiday movie.  So lastly, how was the process of nailing down a dance routine with Corbin Bleu when you guys got to reprise and really just do this again, just be able to dance together?

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Yeah.  I think Corbin really said it well.  The thing is that we were safe, you know?  We felt like we were safe, we were comfortable.  And that is such an important part of telling any story is making sure that you have that connection.  But another thing that I think is really interesting is Corbin started dancing when he was two or three years old.  I started dancing when I was in fourth grade.  And something that’s really interesting is that our lives didn’t begin with “High School Musical”.  Obviously, that is an amazing part of our journey, and it’s a peak, and we’re so — we will always be so proud of it and excited to talk about it and share.  But what I thought was really interesting was that this story to me brought the two of us back further than where we were when “High School Musical” started.  It brought us back to the roots of who we are and it reminded me that I danced as a kid.  And this moment didn’t make it in the movie, but there are photos in the hallway of my fictional house that are pictures of me when I was 10, 12, 15, 17 years old with these big dreams in my mind.  And to see that and then to actually see photos of us from when we were on tour — one of the photos is actually from the Macy’s Day Parade.  And I remember that so distinctly.  And I remember how I felt in that moment.  And then to fast forward to today and to be able to bring all of who we are together and for that to be on screen, I think it absolutely captures the magic that you all felt when you saw “High School Musical”.  But I also think that this movie is going to do something really special and allow you to get to know Corbin and I in a way that you probably honestly haven’t seen prior to now which is really, like, who we’ve always been.

    QUESTION:  Thank you guys for your time.  I appreciate it.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Yeah.

    CORBIN BLEU:  Thank you.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Thank you.

    MODERATOR:  Thank you, Noah.  Alright, up next I have Mike from TV America.  Mike?  I’m gonna give him a moment.  Oh, there he is.

    QUESTION:  Okay, can you hear me now?

    MODERATOR:  We can.

    QUESTION:  Can you hear me okay now?

    CORBIN BLEU:  Hi, Mike.

    QUESTION:  Okay, good deal.  Hey, Corbin, I wanted to ask you to kind of continue on what Mo was saying a minute ago.  Because we have a lot of movies that are about singing, not as many movies that are based on dance.  And dance has been so much a part of your life forever.  I mean, talk about starting to take dance when you were two or three years old.  Talk about what it was like as a kid and how important it is to be able to get back to a dance-based show like this sometimes.

    CORBIN BLEU:  Well, again, this movie is a lot of art mimics life and vice versa.  There’s a lot of meta moments.  I started dancing when I was about two years old.  And I started with tap and ballet, and that was always my first love.  And I started acting early, as well, and I started singing early, as well.  But dance was just always my form of expression.  And to this day, it’s just the one thing that just comes naturally, just comes easy.  If there’s ever — you know, there are times when people just — they just want to sing and it just needs to come out of them.  And my body just expresses it through dance.  And when I tell you the character, both of them, both of the characters are just so rooted in realism.  They both found this joy and this love of dance at an early age.  My character, Barrett, actually continued on with it and went on to become a Broadway stage performer, very much like real life.  And Monique’s character goes on to actually become a lawyer and dance is still this joy, this love that’s just hanging right behind her that she’s just wanting to turn back and find again.  And I know — I’m gonna just speak for Mo a little bit, yeah, I know that she has gone on to do just such incredible serious, wonderful things in this world.  I mean, she’s a U.N. ambassador.  So again, I know for me getting to dance with her and her getting a chance to also re-find a joy of dance and that love in this, it was incredible.  And I’ve got to also do one more shoutout to our director and our choreographer —

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Yes.

    CORBIN BLEU:  …Brian Herzlinger and Christian Vincent because the turnaround on this was not “High School Musical”.  You know, “High School Musical” we had…

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Time?

    CORBIN BLEU:  …like, at least — at least — two days per number, at least.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Yeah.

    CORBIN BLEU:  This we shot — I think majority of the final dance routines were shot in one day.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  In a day, yeah.

    CORBIN BLEU:  One day.  And the other dance routines, everything else that you see was shot in one other day.  So just an insane amount of hard work.  And to top it all off, there were things that were implemented that weren’t originally in the script, one being my tap number.  One number in the movie that really is such a pivotal story moment that you actually get to really see Barrett’s love for dance and where his spirit really flies is this tap number that was never in the script, was never a part of rehearsals, until we were like three — I think we were three or four days from getting ready to start shooting.  And I knew that they were gonna do this other tap number and I said to Brian, I was like, “Brian, you know that I tap, right?”  And he goes, “Wait, what?”  I was like, “Yeah, I love tapping.”  And he said, “We should implement that.”  And Christian, freaking incredible man that he is, threw together this tap number.  And we worked on this over the next couple weeks before we had to shoot it and implemented this number.  And it turns out to be such a beautiful moment in the movie.  Just really, really wonderful that they allowed such input and organicn-ess to free flow.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Yeah.

    QUESTION:  Okay, cool.  Thanks.

    MODERATOR:  Awesome.  Thank you, Mike.  And our next question is from Suzanne.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Hey, Suzanne.

    QUESTION:  Hi.  I really enjoyed the movie.  I loved watching it.  It really made me wanna go to the Winterleigh.

    CORBIN BLEU:  Awesome.

    QUESTION:  Where was it actually filmed?

    CORBIN BLEU:  We shot up in Vancouver.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Yes.  Toronto.

    CORBIN BLEU:  I’m sorry — Vancouver — Toronto.  We filmed up in Toronto, I’m sorry.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Up — yes.

    CORBIN BLEU:  The other side of the country.  We shot up in Toronto at the…

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Where were we?  I’m like…

    CORBIN BLEU:  Horseshoe.  Horseshoe.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  That’s right.

    CORBIN BLEU:  Mm-hm.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Yeah.

    CORBIN BLEU:  Yeah, the hotel.

    QUESTION:  Oh, okay.  Great.  And Monique, what was the thing about it that was the most challenging for you?

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  I think letting it be easy.  That was the most challenging thing was just allowing it.  You know, we’re in an industry that can just be so difficult in so many different ways.  And this was an experience that Corbin was speaking of earlier that was in the midst of a very active world pandemic.  We were in the midst of a very intense election in the U.S.  And we’re storytellers.  And we kept reminding ourselves that we got to be the magic makers of the moment.  We get to be the lightworkers.  We get to be the ones that are going to be a part of helping people to have the joy that we all deserve when this all is over.  And so for me, to be honest, yes, learning the dances was challenging.  Spending two weeks in quarantine and then going from basically zero to hero and having not worked pretty much all year long, having definitely not danced or been in a studio at all.  And I actually turned 40, so I was like my knees are not — they’re not capable of doing this which is actually really hilarious because that is something that Lucy talks about as her character.  But it’s very real for me ’cause I’m like no, but really.  I can’t just jump in like that.  But at the end of the day, I guess I always knew that this was supposed to be fun and it was supposed to bring joy.  And if there was anything that I felt like I couldn’t do, I knew that I had the support to change that.  So I knew that with Corbin that I was safe with my partner.  I knew that with Christian, he wanted to make sure that we looked good.  And Brian is just like all-around so incredible that there wasn’t really any pressure.  There wasn’t any extra tension.  So you know, I think, yeah, obviously the most challenging part was going from not dancing or doing anything and being in a pandemic to going full throttle.  But even that is a blessing and it’s a gift.  And so I don’t even like to look at that as really any more than just the challenge that comes with being privileged to be able to do something that you love for a living.

    QUESTION:  Awesome.  Thank you guys so much.

    CORBIN BLEU:  Thank you.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Yeah, thank you.

    MODERATOR:  Thanks, Suzanne.  We’re going now to our final two questions.  Cynthia?

    QUESTION:  Hello, can you hear me?

    CORBIN BLEU:  Yes, we can.

    QUESTION:  Okay.  Hi.  I’m Cynthia Horner from “Right On! Magazine” and “Word Up! Magazine”.  And Corbin, you and Monique used to appear in our magazines all the time.

    CORBIN BLEU:  Yes!  Absolutely!

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  I know!  I was like “Word Up!”!

    QUESTION:  Yeah.  What is it like now being grown people that really got your start as teenagers and you continued on with your craft?

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  One of us was a teenager.  The other one wasn’t.

    CORBIN BLEU:  (Laughs.)

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  I’ll let you guess which one.

    CORBIN BLEU:  Homegirl, you still look fly as hell.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Thank you!

    CORBIN BLEU:  Honestly, just like life, there are aspects that just get better and better and then there are other parts that you go, oof, that hurts a lot more.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Yeah.

    CORBIN BLEU:  You know, I think that there truly was an appreciation on this film.  When we were working back then, at least I can speak for myself to say that I was just a teenager.  And as much as I really was a hard worker and I was always focused on what I was doing and I appreciated everything that was going on, it still was just about enjoying that ride.  And it all happened so quickly that there are times where you have to — you forget to remind yourself, let me really take in this moment.  And I feel like I was able to do that a lot more working on this project.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Yeah.

    CORBIN BLEU:  Just as an adult, in general, those times where it really is special.  One thing that I would love to talk about that I was able — a moment that I was able to look around and go, wow, this is really beautiful, was the representation in this film.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Yeah.

    CORBIN BLEU:  And its diversity.  I mean, what’s so beautiful is to see these lead actors, Black actors, and that has nothing to do with the driving force of the storyline.  The storyline is a romance story.  It has nothing to do with the fact that we’re Black.  And yet, you get to see all of this diversity and all of this representation in there.  And I feel like that to me is something that as a kid, I don’t necessarily — I wouldn’t necessarily pinpoint as much.  Now, I see it and I go this is something that I wish I was able to see a lot more of on screen when I was a kid and watching all these holiday movies.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Yeah, that’s literally exactly what I was feeling, Corbin, was that that is the biggest shift that has happened since that time.  We were just in a different era and now to be these characters that are not just supporting someone else’s story but to be the story and yeah, that is definitely different and exciting.

    QUESTION:  Well, thank you so much.  And merry Christmas in advance.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Thank you.  You, too.

    CORBIN BLEU:  Merry Christmas in advance to you, too.  And happy Thanksgiving.

    QUESTION:  Thank you.

    MODERATOR:  Awesome.  Thank you, Cynthia.  We’re gonna wrap with Samantha.  Samantha?

    QUESTION:  Hi.  Thank you both so much for touching on the diversity piece because that’s really what I wanted to ask about.  I was reading about Monique you know just a part of how Taylor’s — the headband became — like, a piece was not really having people that could do Black hair.  And I’m just curious what your experiences have been through the start of your career to now being in the industry where it’s really embracing and prioritizing diversity?

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Yeah.  It’s definitely shifted so much.  The fact that we can even have this conversation and be open about it is I think definitely progress.  And I think one thing that Corbin and I both do is we are very collaborative in the process.  So we don’t take a backseat to what we’re doing.  We really want to be involved every step of the way.  And so it’s been really wonderful to watch the industry catch up and also personally to be able to make stronger and different choices about how I want to be presented and so forth.  So I feel like there’s a lot more room.  And not just diversity amongst — like racial diversity, but also diversity within a race.  I think oftentimes, I have been cast in roles that someone could perceive as a token role.  Like, oh, here we’re fulfilling the diversity quota because we’re both very safe people.  And that’s not to…it just is what it is.

    CORBIN BLEU:  Yeah.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  And so oftentimes, we’re put in this position and it’s like there’s so much diversity within being Black.  It’s not just, okay, we’ve got someone that’s it.  And that is something that is so special and beautiful about “A Christmas Dance Reunion” is that you just have this family.  You’ve got these people and they just are different shades of Black and it’s not just one note or one tone.  And that is really very exciting to see what the possibilities are now that these other universes are opening up where we can see ourselves from here.

    CORBIN BLEU:  One hundred percent with everything Mo just said.  And it’s such an important, important thing for what she’s talking about, as far as diversity within the diversity.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Yeah.

    CORBIN BLEU:  And this movie by the way, there’s representation with LGBTQIA community.  There’s–

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Yes.  Age.

    CORBIN BLEU:  In age, in differently abled.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Yes.

    CORBIN BLEU:  And our writer, one of our co-writing team, you know, Brian Herzlinger but majority of the heavy lifting on the writing was Megan Henry Herzlinger.  We have a female writer.  Yeah, right?

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  It’s so good.

    CORBIN BLEU:  So really, I mean, all that is there but again, what’s so amazing and so important to me about this film is that all of that goes unsaid.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Mm-hm.

    CORBIN BLEU:  To me, for what I grew up watching, the stuff that I — you know, I grew up watching all of the MGM classic musicals and never really getting a chance to see representation of myself in that character.  And most of the time growing up, if I was watching someone of color, then it was the token.  And usually the phrases that were coming out of that person’s mouth or the kind of demeanor of a certain — it always was a very specific category.  Or they were there because the driving force of their storyline was because they’re Black.  It has to do with their struggle.  It has to do with the fact that they’re not represented.  And we have romance stories, too.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Yeah.

    CORBIN BLEU:  We have positivity without the struggle, as well.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Yes.

    CORBIN BLEU:  That’s always there.  That struggle is always there because we aren’t represented in that way, but we will only see that struggle and only see that representation if those are the only stories that we continue to tell.  So that’s why this really to me was such a beautiful, beautiful experience and really important.  And I want to see more of it and Mo and I need to do more of that together.

    MONIQUE COLEMAN:  Yes!

    MODERATOR:  Awesome.  Well, thank you both so much for participating today.  We all love that you’re here together and reunited.  So be sure everyone to tune in to “A Christmas Dance Reunion” on Friday, December 3rd, at 8/7 Central only on Lifetime.

    [Elevator dings]

    Paulina: You can’t run away from me, abe carver. You should know that by now.

    [Phone rings]

    Eli: Hey, john, how are you feeling?

    John: Well, I’ll be better when I get an update on marlena. What do you got?

    Eli: Uh, well, actually, we checked the security footage from my grandmother’s house, but there’s no indication of which direction she left. And there’s also been no sightings since–since she left there either. Let’s see here–yeah, we’ve interviewed close contacts, double patrols, but still nothing.

    John: All right, look, I know your men are all over this, but they need to be aware that marlena can camouflage herself. She can change her shape, she can change her form.

    Eli: O–okay?

    Marlena: And force isn’t going to do them any good. Handcuffs aren’t going to hold her. Ask shawn, he found out the hard way.

    Eli: Yeah, shawn filled me in, but–look, man, how are we supposed to bring marlena in? What do you want, us to douse her with holy water?

    John: Look, I know this all sounds crazy, and you’re not prepared to deal with this, but who is? Let’s just find her first. We’ll figure the rest of it out, but we are running out of time.

    [Knocking on door]

    Ciara: Ben, what do we do?

    Ben: The only thing we can do.

    Marlena: No, no, no, please, stop, stop.

    Ben: There is no way that it can be john.

    Marlena: We don’t know that. We don’t know that for sure. Please, please, I’m begging you. Don’t open the door.

    [Suspenseful music]

    [Laughs nervously] Come on. It’s the middle of nowhere. It’s the middle of the winter. Just, please, please, don’t open the door.

    [Knocking on door]

    Ciara: Uh, well, it’s not john. It looks like a hiker.

    Marlena: Well, but it could be somebody who–who’s with john. Don’t do it. Th–this could just be a trap.

    Ben: Marlena, I promise you, I will not let–we will not let anything happen to you. But whoever’s on the other side of this door knows that we are in here, and he’s not going away.

    Marlena: [Sighs]

    Gabriel: Hi.

    Ben: What can I do for you?

    Brady: Oh, buddy, I wish i could’ve been there to see you score that winning goal. But you know I’m proud of you, right?

    [Tense music] Good, good. Listen, hey, let’s video chat over the weekend. Is that good? All right. I love you too, buddy.

    [Music builds]

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

    [Soft orchestration]

    Chloe: Hey, philip, uh, where are you? I’m back with the food, and, uh, you’re not here. No one even knew that you’d left. Um, where are you?

    [Solemn music]

    [Phone beeps]

    Philip: Cheating bitch.

    [Slow dramatic music]

    [Grunts]

    Gabriel: Please, I need some water.

    Ciara: Oh, please, come in, sit. Here you go.

    [Soft music]

    Ben: You weren’t kidding about being thirsty.

    Gabriel: [Exhales, chuckles]

    Ben: We don’t see too many people around this part of the woods.

    Gabriel: That’s what draws me here. I come here every year for spiritual renewal. I intended to replenish my canteen at the bottom of the trailhead, but the stream seems to have been desecrated.

    Ciara: Oh, uh, can I please refill your canteen?

    Gabriel: Thank heaven for good samaritans.

    [Chuckles]

    Ben: We’re happy to help. I’m ben, by the way.

    Ciara: Uh, ciara. Hey.

    Gabriel: Gabriel.

    Ciara: Gabriel? That is a very nice name. You know, my grandma caroline used to say a special prayer to saint gabriel.

    Gabriel: My own mother named me for the archangel. [Chuckles]

    It’s my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on

    Philip: You’re eating without me?

    Chloe: Hey! Where were you? I’m sorry, the food was getting cold.

    Philip: Oh, I went to get you a present. I–I had to hit a couple of places before I found the right thing.

    Chloe: Oh, present? Well, where is it?

    Philip: It’s in my trunk.

    Chloe: Oh, okay.

    [Chuckles] Ooh, what–what is that smell?

    Philip: It’s your present.

    Chloe: My present? Is it manure?

    Philip: Yep.

    Chloe: [Laughs] That’s so romantic.

    Philip: It’s for our tree. Uh, you said you wanted to see it. I thought I’d take you over there, and we’d give it some love.

    Chloe: Okay, that sounds great, but what about dinner?

    Philip: Well, like you said, it’s getting cold, so I was thinking I’ll take you out on the town, show you a night you’ll never forget. What do you say?

    Chloe: I say that sounds like fun. Let’s do it.

    [Slow tense music]

    Steve: Whoa, whoa, whoa, buddy, what the hell? Where do you think you’re going?

    John: I gotta find marlena!

    Steve: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay, okay, the cops are on it.

    John: They’re not. I talked to eli. They’ve got nothing, and my girl needs me, partner.

    Steve: She does, and you know what that means? It means you’ve gotta take care of yourself, so she has a husband to come home to. All right? Hold on a second. Whoa! Get back in there. What do you think you’re doing?

    John: Come on, man.

    Steve: Hey, hey. Hydrate.

    John: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

    Steve: Come on.

    John: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

    Steve: There you go.

    John: [Exhales]

    Steve: That’s what your doctor kayla said you need. This and rest.

    John: I’ll tell you what i need. I need some answers.

    Steve: Okay, we’re going to get some.

    John: All right, let’s start with you.

    Steve: What? What about me?

    John: How the hell did you find me in that crypt?

    Steve: Your grandson johnny.

    John: Excuse me?

    Steve: I ran into johnny on thanksgiving, and he told me that he and allie on halloween found an old ouija board, and the ouija board told them that the devil was in salem, specifically in the dimera crypt. And he also mentioned that marlena was in there, dressed in a devil costume no less. Now, she wouldn’t let him in, but he didn’t think anything of it.

    John: Mm. But you did.

    Steve: I did.

    John: [Chuckles]

    Steve: Nothing about marlena was adding up, man. She was acting so strange, I was afraid maybe hattie was taking over her life again.

    John: Ah, geez, man, what’s it coming to when hattie adams is the best-case scenario?

    Steve: I’ve been trying to wrap my head around all this. Didn’t you exorcise marlena back then?

    John: Yeah, I did.

    Steve: Okay.

    John: And I suppose-and I’m just–just guessing here, ’cause I wasn’t a real priest at the time, maybe the exorcism didn’t fully take?

    Steve: Is that how it works?

    John: I don’t know, man. I don’t know. I–I don’t know why the devil has decided to come back now, but if we knew what he wanted, I think we can figure out where marlena is right now.

    Gabriel: It’s nice to meet you.

    Ben: You too.

    [Disquieting music]

    Gabriel: And who might you be?

    Marlena: Did john send you? Is that why you’re here?

    Gabriel: Who’s john?

    Ben: Uh, dr. Evans, you don’t have to worry. If john knew where we were right now, he’d be here himself.

    Marlena: I’m just saying, you can’t be too careful.

    Ciara: Well, I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am starving. Gabriel, would you like to stay for lunch?

    Gabriel: I am famished, actually.

    Ciara: Well, I am craving pimiento cheese and olives, but we’re just gonna have to settle for lunch meat and peanut butter.

    Ben: Oh, some non-pregnant people food.

    Ciara: Mm-hmm.

    Gabriel: You’re with child? Congratulations.

    Ciara: Aw, thank you.

    Gabriel: When’s the blessed event?

    Ciara: Uh, well, not for a few months.

    Gabriel: That’s–that’s lovely and–and so unique.

    Ciara: Oh, thank you. Uh, marlena actually gifted it to us. It’s supposed to help the angels watch over our baby.

    Gabriel: What a thoughtful gift.

    Paulina: I will stand here all day if I have to. You know that I will. Was it so hard? You here to see john black?

    Abe: Yes, I am.

    Paulina: Well, I just spoke with him myself.

    Abe: Why?

    Paulina: Because I danced with the devil and lived to tell the tale.

    Abe: I beg your pardon?

    Paulina: [Scoffs] How is it that the mayor of salem hasn’t heard? Marlena has been possessed by satan again. John, he just confirmed it.

    Abe: Oh, my god. That explains that apb.

    Paulina: Mm-hmm, and that explains what happened at our wedding. The devil, he wanted to come between us, and that’s just what he did.

    Abe: You’re right. Lies come straight from the devil, and the lie started with you. If you’ll excuse me.

    [Solemn music]

    Paulina: Wait!

    Lani: I understand the love that it took for you to commit to raise me. You pretty much saved auntie p’s life and probably mine too. And I get why you chose to keep her secret when I jumped to the conclusion that abe was my father. I get it…with my head. But my heart? The lies of it all these years? Everything that I thought that I knew about us?

    [Sighs] I–I should go. Um, I’ll talk to you soon. Yeah, okay. I love you too.

    [Door opens]

    [Sniffles]

    Eli: Baby, what’s wrong?

    [Somber music]

    [Exhales, sniffles]

    Paulina: Abraham?

    [Solemn music]

    Yep, it’s me.

    Abe: I see.

    Paulina: And you, uh, need to move a hell of a lot faster than that if you’re going to outrun me, which, it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen even with that fine walking stick of yours, so, why don’t you take a load off and listen to what i have to say?

    Abe: [Sighs] You have one minute.

    Like many people with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis

    Paulina: Abraham, I’m so very sorry.

    Abe: I think you need to fast-forward to something i haven’t heard before.

    Paulina: Fine. I’ll–I’ll do that.

    [Solemn music]

    So, when I made my decision with my mama to give my baby to tamara all those years ago, i never even knew you existed. I certainly didn’t know that I’d meet you and fall in love or that my lie would break your heart. I debated a million times whether or not to tell the truth, and in the end I–i decided that it would be–the kindest thing I could do was for you and lani–

    Abe: To lie through your teeth?

    Paulina: No–hey, now listen to me–

    Abe: You have three seconds left.

    Paulina: You were the best thing that’s ever happened to me, abraham carver, and I love you with my whole heart. Can you ever find it in your heart to forgive me?

    Eli: Baby, what happened?

    Lani: [Sighs] I just, um, talked to my mother. I mean, tamara. Where are the twins?

    Eli: No, I–I ran into allie and henry at the park. She offered to babysit the twins for a while. She’s going to bring them back later.

    Lani: Oh, okay, that was really sweet of her.

    Eli: Yeah, it was.

    Lani: You put their–their car seats in her car?

    Eli: Yes, I–I did. Look, uh, are you going to tell me? What did tamara say to get you so upset?

    Lani: That she loves me, even though my whole life has been a lie.

    Eli: I hope you know that that love is real.

    Lani: I do. It’s just–it’s just I’m not the only one who’s gotten hurt. I spread that lie to abe, that he was my father. And now his heart is broken too.

    Eli: What happened between you two after I left?

    [Soft music]

    Lani: He was wonderful. Of course he was. He’s just so wonderful. And he said that I will always be his daughter, and nothing will ever change that.

    Eli: I hope you know that he means it, lani.

    Lani: Kristen said the same thing.

    Eli: Kri–what–you saw kristen?

    Lani: Yeah, I went down to the station while you were watching jules and carver. I wanted to say goodbye before they took her to statesville. And I know you are not crazy about our friendship, but I–I– just–

    Eli: Baby, I got a call from the warden. Kristen never showed up to the prison.

    [Ominous music]

    Philip: Looking forward to the day our little tree gets big enough and we carve our initials into it.

    Chloe: Me too.

    Philip: Oh, my god.

    Chloe: Where’s the tree?

    Philip: It looks like someone’s ripped it out of the ground.

    Chloe: Who would do something like that?

    Do you think maybe it was an accident?

    Philip: What’s this?

    It’s inscribed. Belongs to…

    Chloe: Brady.

    John: [Groans]

    Steve: No more nonsense.

    John: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

    Steve: Relax.

    John: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

    Steve: Now, what you said about finding out what the devil wants, you have any ideas?

    John: Yeah, I’ve been giving that a lot of thought, partner. I’m not sure I’m any closer to an answer, though. No discernible patterns, just– just a lot of random widespread chaos and misery seems to be part of the plan.

    Steve: Well, that’s a given. Anything specific?

    John: Well, I’ll give you one off. Brady went to marlena to confide in her that he’s got feelings for chloe, so her advice to him was take her to bed, more accurately take her on top of the basic black conference table.

    Steve: [Laughs] That was her advice? Isn’t chloe with philip?

    John: Exactly. So, you see, just stirring up trouble. But, you know what, I’m starting to think that this is just nothing but a sideshow to whatever the devil’s big plan is. That’s why we gotta find doc, so we can stop it before it’s too late.

    Steve: Well, if the devil can turn susan banks into a cat and marlena into a panther, how are we going to find her?

    John: Well, here’s the thing, the beast needs marlena. The parasite needs a host. And yeah, he can use other bodies, but he has to keep coming back to marlena, until he either gets what he wants or we stop him.

    Steve: So, aside from an exorcism, how the hell did you send him back the last time?

    John: Faith, prayer, love, a lot of help from–from friends and family and–and father francis and gabriel.

    Steve: Who’s that?

    John: Gabriel. He was, uh–he was a guy that i met, a guy that…

    [Soft music]

    Turned out to be my guardian angel.

    Steve: A real live angel, huh? Wings? Flaming sword? The whole thing?

    John: Denim. A regular guy.

    Steve: So, what does this regular guy do? He go mano a mano with the devil for you?

    John: Nah, nothing like that. In fact, he said he couldn’t tell me what I was fighting or how to fight, but I know for a fact that he was watching over me the whole time, and he was the one who gave me the strength that I needed.

    [Chuckles] So, where are you now, gabriel?

    Ciara: Lunch should be ready soon.

    [Soft tense music]

    Gabriel: Lovely day, isn’t it?

    Devil: He sent you, didn’t he?

    Gabriel: God? Yes. It’s not the first time. I helped john defeat you 25 years ago, and he will do it again.

    [Foreboding music]

    Serena: It’s my 3:10

    Abe: No. I don’t forgive you.

    [Soft guitar music]

    Paulina: Then you’d be calling your friend john black a liar.

    Abe: What are you talking about?

    Paulina: Well, I might have discussed our situation with john, and he told me that you’re one of the most forgiving people he’s ever known.

    Abe: I haven’t talked to john about this. He doesn’t know how I feel.

    Paulina: Well, I’m sorry if I’m telling tales out of school, but, uh, he told me that your wife, your late wife, god rest her soul, she pulled her own share of shenanigans, and not to speak ill of the dead–

    Abe: Then don’T. Lexie was the love of my life.

    Paulina: And I’m not. I know that. And believe me, I’m under no delusion that I’m the next lexie carver. I’m the one and only me. I go big or I go home.

    Abe: No one ever accused you of not going for what you want, the rest of us be damned.

    Paulina: Lani’s bio-daddy made me feel small, ashamed, trapped. I fought for my life, my soul, my spirit, so that I would never be in that place again and neither would lani. And I’m damn proud I fought my way out, and I’m even prouder that I was able to give my little girl the best possible life I could. God was kind. He gave me love again and my baby chanel. When I lost her father, I–i accepted life alone. Then, a bolt out of the blue, and you came along.

    [Sighs] I met the best man I had ever known. And I took that lie to what we had, and I lost you and both my daughters. Now that–that takes true talent.

    Abe: Yes. Yes, it does. So, if you’ll excuse me.

    Paulina: Abraham, abraham, I, uh, gave you your daughter, then I took her away, but would it have been better if you didn’t have her at all?

    Abe: No, of course not. I love her.

    Paulina: And lani feels the same way about you. You never disappointed her. You never lied to her. You’ve never been anything but wise and honorable and loving. Lani feels that she can’t count on me or my sister or my mama. Lord knows when she’ll ever trust us again. But you, thank god she has you. Now, no matter what, whatever goes on between us, whether it’s over or not, please, please, never turn your back on her.

    [Dramatic string music]

    Devil: I’ve always hated that about you and your type, that holier-than-thou thing, as if there’s anything you can do. You’re not allowed to interfere in human affairs.

    Gabriel: I can let you know you’re being watched.

    [Dark ambient music]

    I know you want that baby, and I know why.

    Devil: And you can’t say a word to them.

    Gabriel: I cannot warn them of the threat you pose, but i assure you, god is not going to allow any harm to come to that child.

    Devil: I wouldn’t get too cocky if I were you. I don’t know if you’ve notice, but my power has grown. Take a look around, gabe. The world is in chaos. Disease, war, brother against brother, and so much of it in the name of your boss. So, threaten me all you want. I’m feeling pretty good about my chances.

    Gabriel: Only because you fail to see the immense power of the hope, the faith, the light that good people like ben and ciara, the world over, give life to every day. That’s where god’s strength comes from and why he will always be more powerful than you, and that’s why love will prevail.

    Philip: This explains it. It must have been brady who tore our tree out of the ground.

    Chloe: It doesn’t make any sense. Why would he do that?

    Philip: Because he’s jealous of us, chloe. He wants you all to himself, and he can’t stand the fact that you chose me. Think about it. His anger, paranoia, his jealousy that he accuses me of? No, he’s been projecting all of it, trying to make me the bad guy.

    Chloe: Look, I know that there were some issues in the beginning, but ever since brady understood that I’m with you, he’s been nothing but respectful of our relationship.

    Philip: You’re defending him?

    Chloe: Phil, come on. Brady could not do something like this. He would–he would never do something so juvenile.

    Philip: This is his watch, chloe. What more evidence do you need?

    Chloe: I–it’s–it’s weird, okay? I just ran into brady at the pub, and he was wearing this watch.

    Philip: Oh, so you just happened to run into him at the pub and you just happened to notice his watch?

    Chloe: I work with the guy every day, and I used to be married to him at one point. I know he only takes this off if he’s getting in the shower or getting into bed.

    Philip: So, if you know him so well and you think he’s such a great guy, how do you explain this?

    Chloe: I can’T.

    Philip: You know what i think? I think you ran into your ex-husband when you were picking up dinner, a romantic dinner for two, and I think that bastard flipped out and came straight here.

    Chloe: To rip out our tree?

    Philip: Isn’t it obvious?

    Chloe: No, brady was picking up dinner to bring to his father who’s in the hospital. I’m sure he’s there right now.

    Philip: Or maybe he lied to you. You ever think about that? Or is he too damn perfect to lie?

    Chloe: Okay, I don’t know what’s gotten into you, but I’m gonna prove you wrong.

    Philip: Where are you going?

    Chloe: To the hospital to straighten this all out.

    Philip: Yeah, well, good luck with that. I don’t think you’re gonna find brady there.

    Chloe: I guess we’ll see.

    Philip: I’m gonna report this vandalism to park service.

    [Tense percussive music]

    [Grunts]

    Hi susan! Honey?

    Lani: Kristen never made it to statesville? What happened?

    Eli: I don’t know. I got a call on my way home. The van, it just seems to vanish into thin air. We have units searching, but… lani, either there’s been an accident or–

    Lani: Or–or–or kristen escaped. You don’t think I had anything to do with it, do you? Because I swear I didn’T. We–we had a nice conversation. We said our goodbyes. Then I left. That’s it.

    Eli: I believe you.

    Lani: You know what, I think I have an idea of where kristen might have gone.

    Abe: I’ve spoken to lani, and she knows that she is my daughter in every way that matters. I am so grateful and blessed to have her in my life. Nothing will ever change between us.

    Paulina: No. Thank god for that. Well, abraham, do you think there’s–is there any chance for us?

    [Soft music]

    Abraham: Just like I can’t turn off my love for lani– god knows–not that I would ever want to–I can’t turn off–can’t turn it off for you either.

    Paulina: What? What–what are you saying? Are–are you–you saying…

    Abe: Oh, god, help me. I still love you.

    Ben: Lunch is served.

    Ciara: Mmm, I’m sorry for it being such a basic meal.

    Gabriel: It’s always lovely to break bread with fellow travelers. Shall we say grace? Marlena, would you like to do the honors?

    [Haunting music]

    Trelegy for copd.

    Paulina: You still love me? Oh, abraham…

    [Poignant music]

    Abe: This is–this is very different than being able to trust you again. This isn’t the first time that you have told me a life-altering lie, and this one is bigger and more appalling than the last. At least it wasn’t about greed this time. I…

    I–I–I just can’t put–I don’t know that I can put… my heart at risk again.

    Paulina: But you love me. Now we can work on the trust, right? Tell me, abraham. Tell me, is–is there something I can do, whatever it is, whatever it takes, to–to help you trust me again?

    Lani: Kristen tried to take rachel and run the last time she escaped from statesville. I’m guessing this is the first place she would come to.

    Eli: Yeah, especially since john and marlena are not around, it’d be easy for kristen to get in and out with her daughter.

    Lani: Let’s just hope we’re not too late.

    Eli: Police! Open up!

    Steve: Okay, partner, so, what is our next move?

    John: Well, eli said that his men reached out to all of marlena’s contacts. Nothing there. Nothing on security footage, no sightings anywhere.

    Steve: So, we need to take it to the next level. We need to supercharge this bad boy.

    John: That’s a fact.

    [Knocking on door]

    Yeah?

    Chloe: Hi.

    John: Hey.

    Chloe: Hey, sorry to interrupt.

    John: No, no, not at all. Come on in.

    Chloe: I’m glad to see that you’re feeling better.

    John: Yeah, almost perfect.

    Chloe: [Chuckles]

    Steve: Yeah, emphasis on the “almost.”

    Chloe: Mm. Uh, did, uh, brady drop off your food already?

    John: Nah, not yet, and if he doesn’t get here soon, that chowder’s going to be stone cold.

    Chloe: Maybe philip was right.

    John: What was that?

    Chloe: Uh–uh, nothing. I’m sorry, I actually have to run.

    John: Thanks for dropping in. Take care.

    Steve: Bye.

    John: [Scoffs]

    [Door closes]

    [Solemn music]

    Philip: [Grunts]

    Chloe: Brady, seriously, I mean it. You cannot tell anybody what happened here last night. I mean–

    Brady: [Stammers] I know what you mean. I know. You’re referring to the sex that happened on the conference table. Okay, listen, I’m–I am not gonna tell a soul about it. It’ll be our secret, okay?

    Chloe: When brady told me what you and lucas saw, I just– I assumed that you were going to just fly into another jealous rage, and when you didn’t mention anything, I was relieved. I took it as a sign that you finally trust me.

    Philip: I’ve learned my lesson, chloe. I know how important trust is in a relationship. Once it’s broken, it’s all over.

    If I can’t have chloe, you can’t either! You son of a bitch!

    Why give your family just ordinary eggs

    Abe: There’s nothing you can do, paulina. I just need time.

    Paulina: Okay, I’ll–I’ll– you just–you take all the time, all the time that you need. I’m just–I’ll just keep on loving you, and I’ll be right here whenever you’re ready. I’ll just–I’ll–I’ll wait forever.

    Abe: I have to go.

    Paulina: Well, thanks. Thanks for hearing me out. You know, it’s all I can ask.

    [Poignant music]

    Marlena: Of course. I’d be delighted to say grace.

    Gabriel: Shall we join hands?

    [Ominous music]

    Marlena: [Clears throat]

    Bless us, oh lord, for these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty, through christ, our lord. Amen.

    All: Amen.

    Eli: Anything?

    Lani: Nothing. You?

    Eli: No, but I just scared the living daylights out of rachel’s babysitter.

    Lani: [Exhales] Thank god. Rachel was here.

    Eli: They’re napping, but the sitter said there’s no sign of kristen or brady for that matter.

    [Soft solemn music]

    Steve: Nothing?

    John: No, brady’s not answering. I don’t like it. It’s not like him to bail.

    Steve: Well, come on, he’s a busy guy, isn’t he? Yeah, he’s, uh–you know, something might have come up with rachel or the job. Hey, his ex is on her way to prison today. He probably just got sidetracked.

    John: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m sure that’s it, yeah.

    Steve: Hey, don’t let your imagination run wild. I’m sure brady’s just fine.

    Chloe: Oh–oh, my god. Oh, my god, brady! Brady! Brady, brady, wake up. Brady, wake up.

    Transcript provided by Suzanne

    [Knocking on door]

    Ridge: Hope, you in there?

    Hope: Oh, ridge, yeah. It’s open. Come on… in.

    Ridge: We can’t do this anymore. Deacon is not welcome here. Not in our home, and not in our lives.

    Deacon: Brooke, I know you haven’t forgotten. The passion we shared. The connection.

    Brooke: Oh, please.

    Deacon: Come on, we were good.

    Brooke: Good?

    Deacon: Yeah!

    Brooke: That was a betrayal, deacon. That was the worst time of my life. Hurting my daughter like that.

    Deacon: But we couldn’t fight it, could we? The attraction, the desire. Maybe there was a reason for that. Maybe we went through the scandal and the pain because something good came out of it. Look, I know despite the heartache and… you know, the shame, we made hope.

    Thomas: How is that? Is that more comfortable?

    Model: Much more.

    Thomas: Good, I think that hope was right. She was saying this was maybe a little too constricting, and now that it’s opened up, I can see you dancing all night in this thing.

    Model: Oh, for sure. If that’s an invitation. You could pick me up at 7:00.

    Thomas: Ha, um, not tonight, but maybe soon. Okay, yeah. Um… I think that’s it. I think we’re good. Thank you.

    Steffy: I am so glad my husband is not a famous fashion designer. Models would be hitting on him left and right.

    Thomas: Ah, but pretty sure that he’s around, you know, some women. He’s obviously in a hospital and the nurses love him.

    Steffy: Okay, you’re probably right. I’m glad I’m not the jealous type. But there is one woman I need to worry about around my husband.

    Finn: I can’t believe you’re, you’re here, and you’re dressed like– where did you even find those scrubs?

    Sheila: It’s not really important. What’s important is– is you and how you’re doing. This all had to be so confusing, though. A horrible shock to learn the truth, after all these years. That jack, the man who adopted you, was actually your biological father.

    Thomas: How is finn doing, by the way? I’ve been meaning to reach out, but, it’s kind of hard to know what to say.

    Steffy: It’s crazy. You know, finding out that your dad lied to you your whole life. Finn’s trying to hang in there, he’s hurting, he’s upset. Especially for his mom. I’m not talking about sheila.

    Finn: You shouldn’t be here.

    Sheila: Look, it’s okay. Nobody’s gonna know. Look! I blend right in.

    Finn: Look, it doesn’t make it okay.

    Sheila: It’s not like I went to your house, finn. I have really been trying so hard to be respectful of your boundaries, with steffy’s boundaries. I needed to reach out to you somehow, I have really been worried about you.

    Finn: It’s been a lot to process. But you don’t need to worry.

    Sheila: How can I not? You’re my son.

    Hope: Look, I realize that you have strong feelings about this–

    Ridge: It’s not about feelings. It’s about facts. Fact: Deacon is a con artist. All he’s ever done in his life–

    Hope: Former.

    Ridge: Excuse me?

    Hope: Former con artist. He came out of prison reformed, hoping to make amends and–

    Ridge: Yeah, and lie to you and your mother.

    Hope: Look, I’m not trying to create problems between you-

    Ridge: And I’m not saying you’re the one creating problems, it’s deacon. Deacon creates problems wherever he goes. He’s been doing it since before you were born. Why doesn’t anybody remember that? Talk to brooke, she doesn’t remember, she doesn’t listen to me! But you, you gotta listen. And you gotta do the right thing.

    Brooke: Ah, you know, you’re right. I mean, I may always regret the pain that I caused. But, I’ll never, never regret having hope.

    Deacon: I’m so impressed with the woman that she’s become. I know, I can’t take any credit for her, but, uh… daddy’s proud.

    Brooke: Daddy’s proud. That’s cute. I know, I came down hard on you when you came back in town. I was opposed to you having anything to do with hope.

    Deacon: And now?

    Brooke: I don’t know. I want to support my husband, I mean, for the most part, I do. But I also want to support hope. And she wants you in her life. So, in that case…

    Deacon: I can’t tell you what this means to me.

    When you have nausea,

    Finn: You’re right, it’S… it’s been extremely difficult. My own father lied to me my whole life.

    Sheila: It must’ve been hard for you to hear. I’m just glad that he took my advice, finally decided to tell you the truth. I think if he had his way, he would’ve taken it to his grave with him when he should’ve told you about this secret years ago.

    Finn: You could’ve told me.

    Sheila: And I wanted to. But I made a promise to jack. He can be very intimidating, especially when he’s feeling threatened. And I know what would’ve happened if you’d heard it from me. I would’ve been accused of lying, or… being manipulative. I would’ve been accused of interfering in his marriage, and that would’ve just made things worse for you, finn. No, you really needed to hear this from your dad.

    Finn: You’re probably right about that. But I… I appreciate you encouraging him to do the right thing. As upsetting as it was, I’M… I’m glad I finally know. So, whatever you said to him, however you got through, thank you.

    Deacon: I appreciate the support.

    Brooke: Okay, wait.

    [Giggling] Let’s be clear here. I am supporting hope, not you.

    Deacon: Understood. I don’t want to cause any problems for you or your marriage.

    Brooke: I want to believe that.

    Deacon: It’s true. I swear, you’ll see. I mean, I– ridge might not. But as long as you do.

    Brooke: This is all very difficult for ridge. And I want to be sensitive to that. But he’s got to accept reality. You are hope’s father. And if she wants to have a relationship with you, well, then ridge and i are going to have to have one too. So, that means you’re welcome here, deacon.

    Hope: You have pretty much already said everything there is to say about my father, and I understand your concerns and why you might not exactly want him around, but that is your choice. Just as it is my choice to want to have my father be a part of my life.

    Ridge: Because you’re all grown up, you know exactly how much misery and pain you can handle? All right, that makes sense. I get it.

    Hope: Okay. So… are you saying you’re not going to fight me on this? That you will accept the fact that I want my dad around?

    Ridge: That you want him around? Yeah, no, I accept that for sure. But, am I gonna have him around me or my wife? Absolutely not. But, like I said, there are options.

    Hope: Options? Okay, so what exactly are you trying to say?

    Ridge: You live in this home, and this home has rules, we all follow them. Number one rule: Keep this family safe. Having deacon here, not safe for anybody. So, if you’re gonna be with him, plenty of other places to live.

    Hope: Okay, so you are suggesting that I move off of my mother’s property? If you’re on medicare, remember,

    Thomas: Sheila is smart, I’ll give her that. Manipulating jack to come clean, and then throwing him under the bus while scoring points for herself. And I know that you don’t want finn feeling gratitude towards her, but at the same time, he finally has answers now so he’s gotta be feeling thankful.

    Steffy: I know, it’s beyond frustrating knowing that sheila’s out there, always calculating, always… figuring out her next move. Even though finn is thankful, he’s not naive. He knows exactly who sheila is. And he knows he can never, ever, ever trust her.

    Finn: Look, I appreciate your concern, but I gotta go see some patients.

    Sheila: Of course, I understand. Look, finn, if you ever need to talk…

    Finn: Thank you, but you know that’s not possible. Sheila, we’re not possible.

    Sheila: Today, maybe. But in the future. You know, if it can, if it can happen for hope and deacon, I really think it can for us too. I mean, you did hear that hope let deacon back into her life?

    Finn: Very different situation.

    Sheila: Not so much, really. I can’t help but be jealous of him. I really… really want what he has. A chance to bond with you. He’s actually making headway with the whole family it would seem. Even brooke is opening up to deacon.

    Deacon: Wow, I’m welcome here? Deacon sharpe. Man, I never thought I’d be hearing those words.

    Brooke: An invitation I’ll retract if given reason to. Especially considering how ridge feels about you.

    Deacon: So, you’re saying ridge and I won’t be golfing anytime soon?

    Brooke: Don’t mess this up. Get a job, stay sober, be careful who you associate yourself with… sheila, and other crazy psychopaths.

    Deacon: Okay, done.

    Brooke: I mean it, deacon.

    Deacon: So do I. I’m finally on the right track, you know? I’m determined to stay there. I just want to be a good person. I want to be a good– I want to be a great father. I’m not gonna cause you any problems.

    Brooke: Well, good. If that’s what you truly want. And you don’t have any hidden agendas.

    Deacon: All right, maybe I got one little hidden agenda. I just want to see you happy. You deserve the best. And if that’s ridge, then so be it. Just, you know, I think about the way the guy’s treated you over the years, though. You know, the back and forth with taylor. I mean–

    Brooke: Well, that’s ancient history.

    Deacon: And, my god. How do you put up with that ego?

    Brooke: Okay. Don’t worry about my happiness. Ridge and I will be just fine.

    Hope: Are you really doing this right now? Asking me to leave?

    Ridge: To be fair, this was your idea, you threatened your mom with leaving. Maybe it’s logical, maybe it makes sense. You want to be around deacon so much, maybe you should move on. Hey… I love having you here. You and liam, and those crazy kids. And brooke loves coming down here and just being able to… to say hi to them. But if you need deacon in your life, then yes. You should go.

    Hope: Is this really about my needs, or yours?

    Ridge: Bit of both. I’ve always been upfront with you on that. I can’t be around deacon. I despise the kid.

    Hope: You’re upset with deacon for things that he has done in the past. Is there just some small part of you–

    Ridge: There are some things I can’t look past. I see that clown and all I see… is– is brooke’s biggest betrayal and I see what he’s capable of. And I don’t want to get into this with you. Not now, not ever. It’s not– let’s just say it’s about me. It’s about my sanity. About my marriage. About your marriage. You want to be with this guy so badly, then do it. Find a home and do it. You can be around him all the time. Do it in your home. Not mine.

    These are the faces

    Deacon: So, when are you expecting ridge back?

    Brooke: I’m not sure. But I would like to avoid a confrontation.

    Deacon: Put one off, you mean. I mean, look, if I’m welcome here, it’s only a matter of time. It’s gonna happen.

    [Sighing] Don’t worry about it, all right. Ridge can huff and puff all he wants, but if all I’m trying to do is be a responsible father, there really isn’t much for him to say, is there? Eventually, you know, he’s gonna have to admit that maybe I’m not quite the bad boy I used to be.

    Brooke: Bad boy? Well, that’s one way to describe it.

    Deacon: I remember a time when you wanted the bad boy. I know, I know, ridge is god’s gift to women. Your marriage has never been doing better, blah, blah, blah. But… I don’t know, I was just thinking that, you know, after all this time, maybe you could admit it.

    Brooke: Admit what?

    Deacon: That the bad boy was a huge turn on. Best sex of your life.

    Brooke: Okay, uh, I think now would be your cue to leave.

    Deacon: I thought so.

    Brooke: I think we should leave the past behind us and you really need to go focus on hope. And not think about me, or the memories that we had. Are you even listening to me?

    Deacon: What? Yeah, yeah! Yeah.

    Brooke: Okay. Well, hope should be home. I think you should go down there and say hello and be the father that you claim you wanna be.

    Deacon: Oh… okay. Yeah, I will. Um… I know this isn’t easy for you. I’m not gonna let you down.

    Brooke: You don’t have to make promises to me. Don’t let hope down.

    Deacon: Okay.

    Ridge: Believe it or not, I’ve been racking my brain, trying to find a solution that works for everybody. And something occurred to me… it doesn’t matter who warns you, it doesn’t matter who says anything about your dad and what you should or shouldn’t do because… you wanna connect with him. You want to have a relationship with him, and you don’t need me. You don’t need me to warn you, to protect you and keep your safe, because… you’re all grown up. You’re an adult. You know what? So am I. And if you won’t let me protect you, then I’m gonna protect myself. I’m gonna protect your mother. And the relationship we have and the life we built. I’m not sharing that with deacon. You can, if you want. You can share your life with him any, anyway you want, but you can’t do it here.

    [Hope clearing throat]

    Hope: Have you brought this up with mom?

    Ridge: I will. Thought I’d talk to you first. You’re the one who brought it up.

    Hope: Brought it up, yes, but that’s very different from being ordered to leave. Being told that myself and my kids and my husband aren’t welcome here.

    Ridge: I didn’t say that. I love you and your family. You’ll always be welcome here, but deacon is not. I can’t have a man that I despise come over here and pretend that this is his house. It’s affecting my relationship with brooke. And he’s come between us before. I’m not gonna let it happen again. I will fight tooth and nail for this marriage. And I’m sorry, I wouldn’t be bringing this up to you if it weren’t critical, but it is! It’s critical to me! You want to be with him, I want to keep my sanity. So, if you need to leave, leave! And I know this won’t be easy. And I will help you anyway I can, and your mom will help. We’ll figure this out together.

    Hope: Ridge, what you are asking–

    Ridge: Oh, honey, I’m not asking. I’m telling you. If you want to be with your dad, it won’t be here. Grab your kids, grab your husband, grab your stuff, and move on.

    Nikki: Hi, darling.

    Victor: Hi, sweetheart.

    Nikki: What’s on your mind?

    Victor: Trying to figure out my next move.

    Nikki: On the chess board or with your search for abby?

    Victor: Abby. Seems that jack and ashley and my investigative team have turned valencia upside down and so far found nothing.

    Nikki: Are they still sure that’s where she went?

    Victor: Yeah, it’s the only lead we have. You know, that’s what they’re focused on.

    [ Cellphone rings ]

    Nikki: Maybe somebody has good news.

    Victor: Oh.

    Nikki: What, you’re not gonna answer it?

    Victor: No. It’s an old colleague from newman enterprises, and I don’t feel like shooting the breeze with anyone right now. I’m thinking about my daughter.

    Nikki: Well, you’re doing everything you possibly can.

    Victor: Yeah, but what worries me is that my investigative team has interviewed almost everyone who served with him in iraq, you know? And none of them have heard anything from — from abby.

    Nikki: That must have been difficult news to break to chance’s men.

    Victor: He apparently was loved by everyone that he served with.

    Abby: After everything you went through, all of the time that we were separated, you want to stay here?

    Chance: Abby, I have to finish this mission.

    Abby: No, you don’T.

    Chance: Yes. They chose me for a reason. It’s ’cause I never give up and I’ve never failed to get the job done. If I back down now —

    Abby: They’ll understand.

    Chance: Everyone that was killed in that explosion, they were my colleagues, my friends. I have to track these guys down and bring them to justice. They deserve nothing less.

    Abby: Look, I understand why you feel so strongly about this. It’s one of the reasons why i fell in love with you. Your sense of loyalty and duty, but what you’re talking about is revenge.

    Chance: No, no, that’s not all this is. Okay? Yes, I want to make sure those criminals pay for what they did. But we were so close — we were so close to finding the ringleader of this operation. I have to see this through. If I don’t bring him down, then my team will have died in vain, and I can’t live with that.

    Abby: This is not the way to do it — by putting your life in jeopardy again.

    Chance: Abby. My section chief is waiting for me to recover, and then he’ll send me my orders. I have to stay.

    Billy: Let me ask you a hypothetical question, and just humor me, okay?

    Lily: Okay.

    Billy: You are approached by a reporter.

    Lily: Newman media or another outlet?

    Billy: Your choice. They ask you what the hell you’re thinking staying with the man that tanked your entire empire.

    Lily: I know.

    Billy: Why not just, you know, cut him loose and wash your hands of the whole thing?

    Lily: You know, I would say i should, but I love him, we’re partners, and I believe in second chances.

    Billy: Wow, I was half-joking, but that is one of the nicest things you’ve ever said to me.

    Lily: [ Chuckles ]

    [ Doorbell rings ]

    Billy: Hold that thought.

    Lily: Okay.

    Billy: Hi, mom. I, uh —

    Jill: Aren’t you gonna invite me in?

    Billy: Of course. Come here. Please come in, make yourself comfortable.

    Lily: Jill. Oh. You look lovely.

    [ Both laugh ]

    Jill: You always know what to say.

    [ Laughs ]

    Billy: We’re having some tea. Can I — can I get you anything?

    Jill: Yeah, I’d love some tea. Thanks.

    Lily: And by the way, billy and I were so sorry to hear about chance.

    Jill: Yeah. Uh, everybody told me not to come home, you know, so I could give abby some room to grieve, but I just couldn’t stay away, and then I found out that abby was missing and that jack and ashley are off in spain looking for her.

    Billy: What’s that? We didn’t hear anything about that. Jack didn’t mention that when i saw him.

    Jill: Yeah, well, you were too busy ruining my media division to pay much attention to family, weren’t you?

    [ Cellphone rings ]

    Adam: Yes, this is adam newman. Uh, I’m not sure why my father’s not answering your calls, but, um, he’s a very busy man. How can I help you? You sure about that? Thanks, I’ll let him know.

    Ashland: 10 — that’s how many times you’ve checked the phone since we arrived.

    Victoria: Are you keeping tabs on me?

    Ashland: Well, you’re worse than I am. You know, when I was on the verge of making a killing, i couldn’t keep my eyes off my screen. I was always checking to see if the prey I was after had rolled over in defeat.

    Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Well, I know you think I’m checking to see if billy and lily have spoken to jill about our offer to buy chanccomm.

    Ashland: You’re not?

    Victoria: No, I was actually hoping for an update from my father about jack and ashley’s search for abby.

    Ashland: I should have known. Your family is focused on other issues right now.

    Victoria: But since you brought it up, maybe we should think about how we’re gonna handle my father and adam if jill does give us the green light.

    Ashland: Well, you know them best. How do you think they’ll react?

    Victoria: I think they’ll be less than thrilled, since your lawsuit — or your dropping of your lawsuit — is key to their strategy. But I do think we should tell them about it before they find out from someone else.

    Ashland: I don’t know if that’s such a great idea. I mean, why rock the boat if, ultimately, our offer gets rejected?

    Victoria: Well, something tells me they already know. Plaque psoriasis, the tightness, stinging…

    Abby: It’s almost like you don’t want to come home.

    Chance: No. No, baby, of course I do. I want to be with you again. I want to meet our son and i want to hold him. It’s almost all that I’ve thought about since I’ve been holed up here.

    Abby: Almost?

    Chance: I just can’t erase what happened to my team from my mind. I-I can’t erase the anger that i feel towards these bastards that attacked us or the guilt that i feel for surviving when the others didn’T.

    Abby: You can’t blame yourself. You survived for a reason. And that reason is your son. So you could be a father to him, have a life with him, be a hero to dominic.

    Chance: That’s what I told myself when I was lying there in the rubble, that I had to make it out of here, alive, for the baby and for you. Abby, don’t you understand? The men and women in that safe house, they have families, too. They had families. Families that they’ll never see again.

    Abby: And that is tragic. And my heart breaks for them. But you need to come home. To your family. To me. To your son.

    Chance: [ Sighs ]

    Billy: I think it’s a little bit of an exaggeration to say that I ruined chanccomm. But the truth is we have taken a hit. Lily and I have talked, and we see a way forward.

    Jill: Chanccomm was the other reason I got on that plane, when I got your message that you wanted to talk.

    Billy: You called her?

    Jill: Well, I’m glad someone called me, billy, ’cause you’ve been dodging my calls.

    Lily: And, look, we’re — we’re so sorry about what happened with chance, you know? And he was such a great man, and I know how much you loved him, which is why I hate the fact that I had to call you while you’re dealing with his loss.

    Jill: Well, I appreciate that, you know, but the world goes right on turning, even though we’re grieving.

    Lily: I know, and that’s why I called, ’cause I know that time is of the essence and we have to decide the future of chanccomm.

    Ashland: Adam, would you like to join us?

    Adam: Oh, no, I’ve lost my appetite.

    Victoria: Oh, that’s a shame, because the special today sounds delicious.

    Adam: Oh, what is the catch of the day — chanccomm?

    Victoria: What do you mean?

    Adam: Is it true? Has newman/locke made an offer to buy it?

    Victoria: Where did you hear that?

    Adam: You know dad still has connections at newman enterprises. Someone tipped us off that you were gathering funds and you were doing your due diligence.

    Victoria: Remind me to have hr refresh the staff on the consequences of violating their nda.

    Adam: I’ll take that as a yes.

    Ashland: We are not in the habit of disclosing potential or future business deals with anyone.

    Adam: You swore up and down that you were on board with newman media’s plan. We looped you in to every detail. We covered for you. We trusted you. I mean, we treated you like family. Hell, we even kept you in the loop when you went to peru for your treatment. So why’d you go behind our back, huh?

    Why is la roche-posay

    recommended

    by over 90,000 dermatologists

    worldwide?

    Abby: I know that you’re grieving the loss of your team. I know how difficult that is for you.

    Chance: You can’t understand.

    Abby: Of course I understand. I have been grieving the man that I love.

    [ Exhales sharply ] Me, your whole family, we’ve been mourning your loss. We all thought that you were dead. I mean, I haven’t been able to eat. I haven’t been able to sleep. All I have been thinking about is you and all of the moments that we had together and just wanting just one more day, one more second, one more minute to let you know how much you mean to me. So, yes, I understand that you wish you could change what happened and exact just a little bit of justice.

    Chance: I was trained to complete my missions, no matter what, abby.

    Abby: But you’re wounded. You barely made it out alive. Look, and the fact that your — your section chief is waiting to see how — how long it’s gonna take until you’ve recovered, i mean, that’s evidence that they might not send you into the field again.

    Chance: I know, but it’s just a matter of time before I’m healed.

    Abby: No, you can do it from home.

    Chance: I’m the only one that knows what these guys look like.

    Abby: Then send your boss a description. Let them catch them. Let them catch the target.

    Chance: Abby, I am torn between my duty to — to see this through and my love for you. I mean, how am I supposed to choose one over the other?

    Abby: [ Sighs ] Look, you’re right, you shouldn’t make any decisions right now because you are — you’re exhausted and you need some rest, so, um…why don’t we just go lay down. And I can hold you and I can feel your heartbeat and I can just feel how lucky I am that’re together again.

    Chance: Abby, I —

    Abby: Shh. Just go get some rest, okay? When you open your eyes, you’ll have a new perspective. Come on.

    Billy: I still believe that there is a way to rectify this without involving my mother.

    Jill: You allowed yourself to be hacked, and worse, you believed the word of a blackmailer, billy. You never learn. You were so blinded by your hatred of — of victor and adam that you just acted without any thought of the consequences.

    Billy: You know what, mother? Everything was moving really fast, and if I could change some of the things that I did, i would do that.

    Jill: But it’s too late for that, isn’t it? When I handed my media division over to you, you swore to me that you would be up to the challenge.

    Billy: And I still think that you were right to believe in me. And, I mean, we accomplished a whole hell of a lot. And the only reason why I was holding on to gaines was to protect us from newman media. I had our company’s best interests at heart.

    Jill: If you think that scoundrel is your idea of protection, god help us all.

    Lily: Look, we don’t have to do this right now, okay? I’m sure that you’re emotionally exhausted and drained.

    Jill: Billy’s excuses are what is exhausting me.

    Billy: Look, there’s no excuses for the fact that i screwed up, okay?

    Victoria: Not only is your outrage completely misplaced, that’s absolutely ridiculous. You’re the one who orchestrated this elaborate takedown of chanccomm.

    Adam: And this was not part of the plan. Or was it? Has your new husband been playing us all along? Has he been making me and victor do all the heavy lifting so he could swoop in for the kill?

    Victoria: How dare you. Ashland has risked everything. He’s put his entire reputation on the line. He — he’s the one who’s filing this lawsuit. It’s gonna be costly, arduous. It’s gonna be very public. All while he’s fighting for his life. So you know what? You should back off.

    Adam: He knew what he was getting himself into. Nobody twisted his arm.

    Victoria: Oh, I guess you weren’t paying attention, because chanccomm was originally newman media, so we have every right to take it back.

    Adam: You see what she’s doing? This isn’t about some desire to run a media division, she’s protecting billy again.

    Victoria: [ Laughs ]

    Adam: She’s looking out for his job.

    Victoria: Yeah, billy made his bed, and he can suffer the consequences. I’m not trying to save him or his job.

    Ashland: I think we all need to take a breath and remember that business is business.

    If we were to have made an offer, it was because we determined that it would be best for our company. All I did was initiate a lawsuit once they published that libelous article. I held up my end of the bargain, okay? And now chanccomm is fair game.

    Adam: Thank you for clarifying that.

    Ashland: Mm.

    Adam: This was your idea, wasn’t it, victoria?

    Victoria: Goodbye, adam. Have a nice day. You have always loved vicks vapors.

    Ashley: Abby!

    Abby: Mom?

    Ashley: Are you okay? Where are you?

    Abby: I don’t know what to do. Um…I need your help. Chance — chance is…

    Ashley: Honey, just take some deep breaths, alright? I know how scared you must be. We were all so worried about you. Where are you?

    Abby: I’m in spain. I’m sorry for leaving without telling you. I just — I needed to find chance.

    Ashley: I’m here, too, with jack.

    Abby: Wait, wait, you’re here, in spain?

    Ashley: Yes! We came to find you. Now, please, just drop a pin, let me know what your location is, and I will come to you.

    Abby: No, no, you don’t understand. I have to do this alone.

    Ashley: You’re not doing this alone. I am here for you, no questions asked, no judgment.

    Abby: Maybe you can help. But just you, not uncle jack. You have to promise me, or i won’t tell you where I am.

    Ashley: Of course I promise. Just tell me where you are and then stay put. I will be there.

    Jack: Well, that was a bust. Woman in a restaurant thought she recognized the photo of abby, and — hey, what’s wrong?

    Ashley: I found abby, jack. She found me. Go tell the pilot. We’re — we’re going to majorca.

    Billy: Okay, look, this is — this is my fault that we’re in this situation, okay? I regret it. But I still believe that there is a way to turn this around. If I step down and ashland drops his lawsuit, we can stop the bleeding and we can repair our reputation.

    Lily: You mean I can.

    Billy: Yes, lily, you can. The point is we can salvage this.

    Lily: Yeah, I don’t know. I’m not so sure about that.

    Billy: I have all the faith in the world in you.

    Jill: So do I. But I think she’s right. This is damage we might never be able to overcome.

    Lily: So what do you think we should do?

    Jill: I think billy should step down. I think it was the one smart thing you’ve said today.

    Billy: Thank you.

    Jill: I’m still not convinced it will have the newmans back off, but…[Sighs] At least it will allow lily to run chanccomm the way it should be run.

    Billy: Okay, I accept that, as well.

    Lily: There has been a new development since I spoke to you. Newman/locke offered to buy chanccomm.

    Jill: [ Scoffs ] At a rock-bottom price, no doubt.

    Lily: Well, yeah, they feel like the hit that we’ve taken and the inevitable hits that’ll come from adam and victor, that it might not be worth much.

    Jill: Well, they’re probably right. I think it’s very interesting, though, that victoria is willing to go against her father again.

    Billy: Okay, we don’t know if we can trust that offer yet. And as far as the newmans are concerned, I mean, do they want to start a war over this? Maybe they’re just toying with us.

    Jill: [ Sighs ] This is just one big headache that I would prefer not to have.

    Lily: So are you willing to sell?

    Jill: [ Sighs ] God, I would hate to hand it over to them, you know, and have chanccomm swallowed up by victoria and ashland.

    Billy: I agree.

    Jill: [ Sighs ] What are the terms of surrender?

    Lily: They would be willing to keep me on as ceo.

    Jill: Lily, I would like to speak with you in private, please.

    Lily: Uh, well, I’m — you know, billy and I are still life partners, so I would — I would like him to stay.

    Billy: It’s okay. It’s alright. I, uh — I’ve been kicked out of worse places. You two talk.

    [ Cellphone rings ]

    Victor: Ashley. You’re on speaker phone. I’m here with nikki.

    Ashley: And I’m here with jack.

    Victor: Have you found anything?

    Ashley: I’ve got the best news. We’ve located abby.

    Victor: Where? Where is she?

    Jack: She’s in majorca. We’re about to touch down in a few minutes.

    Nikki: What is she doing there?

    Ashley: I had some difficulty finding out where she was. When I find out why she was there, I’ll let you know.

    Victor: Please tell her that we really want her to come home.

    Ashley: She wants to see me, but alone. I’ll keep jack updated.

    Jack: And I’ll fill you and nikki in on any details when i get them.

    Victor: Thank you, jack. And kindly let her know how much we want her to come back home. Okay?

    Ashley: Of course I will. I’ll be in touch soon.

    Nikki: Well, what a relief.

    Victor: [ Sighs ] Wow. Wow, wow, wow, wow. I’m so happy to hear that.

    [ Sighs ] But now I’m concerned that ashley will actually be able to convince abby to come home, you know? She has a very stubborn streak in her.

    Nikki: Wonder where she gets that from.

    Victor: [ Chuckles ] Adam. My goodness, I’m glad you came by. I have some very good news.

    Adam: Well, that is gonna have to wait because I just ran in to victoria and ashland, and you’re not gonna believe what they have done. No one can deliver your mom’s homemade short ribs.

    “The young and the restless”

    will continue.

    Adam: After I got off the call with elliot and he told me what was going on with chanccomm, I confronted ashland and victoria.

    Victor: What did they say?

    Adam: Oh, they wouldn’t confirm nor deny, but it was pretty clear that the rumors were true. I mean, after you brought ashland into the family, protected him, defended him, he double-crossed us. I mean, I’d expect this from victoria, but I thought ashland was on our side. Nikki, you must’ve known about this.

    Nikki: Whether I did or not, it’s none of your business. I work for newman/locke, not newman media.

    Adam: I’m sorry, I’m just — makes me angry, so forgive me.

    Nikki: I appreciate how frustrating it is to learn you’re the last to know.

    Adam: We need to plan a counterattack.

    Victor: Hmm.

    Adam: I mean, why are not more angry about this, dad? We could’ve done nothing. We could’ve let ashland suffer with his past being exposed, except we came up with this plan to protect him and victoria. And this is how they repay us?

    Victor: Hmm. I just hope this was victoria’s idea. And if it was, it was forward-looking.

    Adam: And a betrayal.

    Victor: Well, that means she’s looking out for her company, you know? My only concern is that she did this to protect billy boy.

    Adam: Yeah, I suggested as much. She denied it.

    Victor: That means she’s trying to correct her mistake that she made when she sold that media division of newman enterprises to chancellor.

    Adam: And it proves that we can’t trust ashland or victoria.

    Victor: Son, in business, you can’t trust anyone. You know that they say the same thing about us. All I care about is cutting off billy boy at his knees. And getting ahold of chanccomm would be icing on the cake.

    Adam: So you’re just gonna let them get away with this?

    Victor: It has all just begun.

    Phyllis: Hey, what are you doing here?

    Billy: It’s a lounge. I’m lounging.

    Phyllis: Well, you’re taking up space.

    Billy: Then I’ll order a beer.

    Phyllis: Hmm. Drinking alone?

    Billy: Yeah, looks that way.

    Phyllis: Lily’s not joining you?

    Billy: I’ve been kicked out.

    Phyllis: Mm, she finally came to her senses.

    Billy: Yeah, don’t get too excited, okay? It’s only because she’s having a conversation with my mother.

    Phyllis: [ Chuckles ] Your mother. Jill and lily having a little conversation over you.

    [ Exhales sharply ] That’s bad.

    Billy: What I’m really worried about is my mother and my business partner discussing the fate of our company without my input.

    Phyllis: Hmm, that does sound interesting. Do you mind if I join you?

    Ashley: Abby?

    Abby: Mom? Mom.

    Ashley: Honey. I’m so happy to see you.

    Abby: I can’t believe you’re here.

    Ashley: Oh, my god, I knew you would be in spain and I knew that you would need me.

    Abby: You were right.

    Ashley: Oh, my god. Honey, you had us all so worried. You left without saying a word.

    Abby: I’m sorry, I just — i didn’t want anyone to stop me from looking for chance.

    Ashley: It’s okay. Listen, I know how difficult it must have been for you to reach out to me, and I’m so glad you did. I want to know everything that’s happened. What’s been going on with you?

    Abby: You know that intuition, the one that led you here, that led you to find me, I — I had that same feeling that chance was still alive.

    Ashley: I understand what it’s like to want something so badly that you just think you know what you know.

    Abby: No, the thing is, is i was right. Chance is alive. He’s here.

    Ashley: How?

    Abby: Chance was thrown back by the explosion at the safe house, and when he came to, he — he found his way here, and he is here. He is asleep. He’s in the bedroom.

    Ashley: I can’t believe this.

    Abby: I know. [ Laughs ]

    Ashley: Abby.

    Abby: I know.

    Ashley: Abby.

    Abby: I know. [ Chuckles ]

    Ashley: I can’t wait to tell nina and your father, and we got to let jack know.

    Abby: Mom, um, the thing is, is that, um, chance, he physically is okay, but emotionally, he’s struggling.

    Ashley: What, he’s been to hell and back and he’s got a long recovery ahead of him — is that what you’re saying?

    Abby: Right.

    Ashley: Okay. Well, I’ve got some good news, though, because jack is waiting on the plane. So all we got to do is let him know that we’re gonna be there and we’re gonna get chance the best possible care he can get when we get back home.

    Abby: Mom, the reason why i called you, the reason why I was so upset is because chance, he doesn’t want to come home.

    Ashley: Why not?

    Abby: I knew who chance was when I married him. It’s one of the reasons why i fell in love with him — his sense of loyalty and dedication — but now I’m worried that that sense of dedication is too strong.

    Ashley: He doesn’t want to leave?

    Abby: He’s insisting on completing the mission.

    Ashley: Oh. Oh, god. Okay, so he has a very, very fragile state of mind. Right, okay. Well, then we have to have empathy for him, right? As a soldier and as a leader.

    Abby: And I guess I have to prepare myself for battle.

    Chance: Abby, what have you done? If you’re washing with the bargain brand,

    Chance: Abby, what the hell is ashley doing here? Did she come with you? Did you lie to me about coming alone?

    Abby: I was just as shocked as you are that my mom was here in spain. Look, I called her for some support, and that’s when she told me that she was here with uncle jack, looking for me.

    Chance: Jack, too? Are you kidding me? Abby, this is exactly what I was trying to avoid. How soon till word gets out that I’m alive and my cover’s blown?

    Ashley: Chance, jack is still on the plan. He has no idea what’s going on, and abby only told me when I got here. She hasn’t told me anything.

    Abby: I would never put you in jeopardy, chance.

    Ashley: I would never, ever risk your safety or your mission. I promise you. I’m only here to support my daughter — and you, if you let me.

    Chance: [ Sighs ] Look, I’m — I’m sorry I lashed out. But my decisions is the same. I cannot go home until I see this mission through.

    Abby: You’re injured.

    Chance: I will heal here. Now go home with ashley. You’re gonna have to play the grieving widow a little bit longer until I put this whole thing to bed. And we cannot tell anyone that i am alive, not even jack.

    Abby: I’m not leaving you. If you’re staying, then I am staying.

    Chance: Abby, it’s too dangerous.

    Abby: When I thought that you died, part of me died with you. And I swore that if I ever — if I ever found you, if we were ever together again, then I was never gonna leave your side.

    Chance: Abby —

    Abby: So, look, there is no talking me out of it. I’m not leaving.

    Chance: Please don’t say that. I will finish the mission, and then I will come home. I swear. You got to get back to dominic.

    Abby: We both do. It’s time for you to meet your son.

    Billy: You know, if you’re here to celebrate my downfall, I’m gonna give you a warning — there’s nothing you can possibly say to me that I haven’t already said to myself.

    Phyllis: That’s not what I’m doing.

    Billy: Why are you here? Because when was the last time we had a conversation?

    Phyllis: I’m feeling charitable right now. You look like hell.

    Billy: If you’re trying to make me feel better, phyllis, you’re missing the mark completely.

    Phyllis: Alright, alright. Let’s just change the subject.

    Billy: Mm.

    Phyllis: Alright.

    Billy: Great.

    Phyllis: Um…jack and ashley, they’re in spain.

    Billy: Yeah, I know. Jill told me right before she ripped into me about the debacle at chanccomm.

    Phyllis: Ooh, and that was a debacle. I mean, that’s a mess.

    Billy: Can you do me a favor? Can you take your charitable spirit just somewhere else?

    Phyllis: Okay, you know what? You made an appearance in a dream that I had — a really crazy dream I had.

    Billy: I really don’t want to hear about your dream.

    Phyllis: It wasn’t a dream like that.

    Billy: Okay.

    Phyllis: You were giving me advice. You. You know, advice on my love life. You were. I mean, it did seem like you had answers.

    Billy: Yeah, well, it was a dream, right? Because the best thing anyone could do with my advice is to ignore it completely, with all of my failed relationships.

    Phyllis: You were very wise in my dream.

    Billy: Well, the real me has managed to alienate everyone in my orbit. And all I was trying to do was protect the people I care about and save chanccomm.

    Phyllis: You know you’re feeling sorry for yourself, okay? You know, from one screw-up to another, it’s gonna be okay. Even us screw-ups deserve love. That’s what a really wise person in my dream said to me.

    Billy: Yeah.

    Jill: I’ve been very impressed with the way you’ve run chanccomm since the very beginning. I mean, neil — neil taught you well.

    Lily: [ Chuckles ] Oh, thank you for saying that.

    Jill: Well, it’s the truth. And I do not hold you responsible for this catastrophe.

    Lily: No, look, I — [Sighs] I know billy has made mistakes, but he had good intentions, you know? You heard him. He was doing what was best for his family and the company.

    Jill: Well, that may be true, but it’s the way he went about it.

    Lily: No, I know, I know. Look, he — he doesn’t play by the rules.

    Jill: No, and he leaves us to clean up the mess. When chance died, it affected me very deeply. He was [Sighs] So young. I never expected to outlive him.

    Lily: I can’t imagine what that’s like, losing a grandchild.

    Jill: Well, it put a lot of things into perspective, you know? It, um, made me realize that it’s time for a change.

    Lily: Are you planning something?

    Jill: I’ve decided to step down from the day-to-day running of chancellor industries and move into a more advisory role.

    Lily: Wow. [ Chuckles ] That’s huge. I mean, for me, you are chancellor industries, so you’re leaving some very big shoes to fill.

    Jill: Thankfully, I know exactly who I want to fill them. I want you to take over for me as head of chancellor industries. Better skin from your body wash?

    Victoria: Billy.

    Ashland: We were just talking about you.

    Victoria: Has jill made her decision?

    Billy: Lily’s discussing the offer with jill back at our apartment now.

    Victoria: Oh. They excluded you.

    Ashland: Well, that’s a good sign.

    Victoria: I’m sorry that it’s come to this, billy.

    Billy: I find that hard to believe.

    Ashland: You brought this all on yourself.

    Billy: Yeah, guess I did.

    [ Tablet rings ]

    Phyllis: Jack, hey! How’s everything in spain? I hope you’re calling with good news.

    Jack: Yeah, I am. We found abby.

    Phyllis: Oh, my gosh, that is great to hear.

    Jack: She’s with ashley right now.

    Phyllis: How’s she doing?

    Jack: From what I gather, she’s having a rough time accepting she’ll never see chance again.

    Phyllis: Yeah. You know, with the love of her family and your guidance, she’s gonna get through it, you know?

    Jack: Listen, I also have to call nina and jill, but I — i wanted to talk to you first.

    Phyllis: Oh, thank you. I’m touched. I feel guilty that you called me first.

    Jack: Well, what can I say? You’re on my mind a lot these days.

    Phyllis: Well, that is contagious.

    Jack: As soon as I get back, let’s get together, have some dinner, talk.

    Phyllis: I’d love that.

    Jack: I’d love that, too.

    Phyllis: Okay, well, go make your calls.

    Jack: Yeah, yeah, you’re right.

    Phyllis: Hey, I’m glad abby is coming home safe.

    Jack: Thanks, red. With any luck, we’ll all be en route to genoa city by tonight.

    Abby: Hey. Um, before you make any decisions, there’s someone that you need to see. Look. There he is. There is our boy. Dominic. And it’s not some static photo or — it’s him.

    [ Chuckles ] In real time, live-streaming. He’s your son. He is everything that we prayed for, chance. His sparkly little eyes and his handsome smile. And he’s healthy and strong. But he needs you. He needs his dad. You’re the most important person in his life. Look, you said that there was a reason you made it out alive. He is the reason. You need to come home.

    Transcript provided by Suzanne

    Jack: Abby isn’t here.

    Ashley: We don’t know that for sure.

    Jack: We have been to every hotel and restaurant in valencia, ash.

    Ashley: Maybe she’s in some low-key place somewhere that we haven’t checked out.

    Jack: It is not exactly like abby to stay in an off-the-beaten-path hole in the wall.

    Ashley: These are special circumstances.

    Jack: Okay, I’m willing to keep looking. I’m just growing skeptical. We talked to local law enforcement. They have seen no sign of her.

    Ashley: Right, because she’s probably keeping a low profile.

    Jack: Have you seen your daughter? She doesn’t exactly blend in. Look, victor’s security people are striking out. They know a lot more than we do.

    Ashley: Jack, everything in my body is telling me that she’s in spain looking for chance. If she’s not here, then where did she go?

    Kim: You should rest. You’re gonna need your strength. You must be tired after traveling halfway around the world.

    Abby: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, I’m exhausted, but I am too excited to sleep. Thank you so much for calling me back, kim. And when you said that chance was alive and here in majorca, it was the most alive I have felt in weeks. Have you seen him?

    Kim: Yes.

    Abby: On the phone, you said that he was in a bad way. What does that mean? Can he talk? Is he unconscious?

    Kim: Abby, dear, breathe.

    Abby: Okay. [ Chuckles ] I’m sorry, I’m just excited. That’s how I get when I’m excited.

    Kim: Yes, I know. Chance told me.

    Abby: So he can speak.

    Kim: Yes. You’ll be able to converse with him, I imagine.

    Abby: When? I mean, I have to see him as soon as possible. I’m sorry, I will be calmer.

    Kim: We’ve been here in majorca so long, I’m not accustomed to that american energy.

    Abby: I just — I don’t think that you understand. Everyone believes that chance is dead and they told me to just accept it. But I held out hope. I kept believing. I mean, can you please — can you take me to him?

    Kim: Of course. But there are some things that you need to know first.

    Devon: Abby, I know what a big decision this is. And I just want to tell you that I really admire you for having the courage to come and ask me for help and to be open about your feelings.

    Abby: Well, this isn’t just about me. This is about — it’s about doing the right thing for dominic. And being with me right now — that’s not the right thing for him.

    Devon: I understand.

    Abby: I mean, you’ve seen what a mess I have been, my mood swinging from day to day, minute to minute.

    Devon: Yeah, but that’s nothing to be ashamed of. Remember that. Okay? I do have to ask you, though — are you 100% sure that you want to leave dominic with me and not somebody in your family? ‘Cause I know that your mom and dad and nina — they’re gonna ask.

    Abby: Yes, they are gonna ask me that, but, I mean, you’ve been a part of this journey since day one. I mean, you’ve been a part of his life. You’ve spent more time with dominic than anyone in my family. And you’re just — you’re so at ease with him. All I know is that this feels right.

    Nate: [ Clears throat ] I have to say, that was a great thanksgiving dinner.

    Devon: Yeah.

    Nate: Didn’t think I could eat that much.

    Devon: Dude, I didn’t think any human could eat that much.

    Nate: [ Laughs ] So what about you? How many sweet potatoes did you consume?

    Devon: Sweet potatoes? I don’t keep count, man. I just like them. I had some more, though, at the newmans’.

    Nate: Are you kidding me?

    Devon: Nah, man. I’m not gonna be rude and reject their hospitality.

    Nate: So that’s what you all did after dinner, you went to another dinner.

    Devon: Well, yeah, no, amanda went to go see her mom and her sister, so I brought dominic to see his grandparents.

    Nate: Okay, that’s thoughtful. Well, elena and I, we couldn’t move. Total food coma.

    Devon: Oh, yeah?

    Nate: I was in bed by 8:00.

    Devon: Wow. I’m sure that was probably nice, though. You know, you haven’t been getting a lot of sleep these days as chief of surgery, I bet.

    Nate: Oh, it was nice to have a full day off to eat and sleep and eat again.

    Devon: Yeah? How you enjoying it, being in charge?

    Nate: Uh, there’s a lot of bureaucracy stuff that doesn’t help heal patients, but I’ll roll with it because, ultimately, we’re doing a lot of good, helping a lot of people.

    Devon: That’s good.

    Nate: But, you know, i shouldn’t complain about being stretched thin. You run a whole company and now you’re watching a baby. How are you handling all that?

    Devon: I’m doing fine. I mean, I’m — you know, I just take time out of my day when i need to. Like when moses moved in.

    Nate: But moses is nearly grown, and you haven’t had much time to prepare for little dominic.

    Devon: Yeah, I mean, look, don’t get me wrong, I wish that abby never left because we’re all worried about her, but, you know, she — she trusted me with her son, and I’m enjoying every second of getting to watch this little guy.

    Jack: Have you heard back from abby?

    Ashley: Nothing yet.

    Jack: Oh, neither have I.

    Ashley: Jack, she could still be in valencia. She could’ve disguised herself. Maybe she’s literally hiding out because she knows how dangerous it would be if the wrong people found out that she’s here trying to get information about chance.

    Jack: I suppose it’s possible she’s doing everything she can to cover her tracks. She knows we would come looking for her as soon as we knew she left genoa city.

    Ashley: Yeah.

    [ Cellphone vibrates ]

    Jack: It’s phyllis.

    Ashley: Oh, go ahead.

    Jack: Buenos días.

    Phyllis: Oh, buenos días. Um, uh, listen, I didn’t think you’d pick up. I just wanted to know how it was going, you know, the hunt for abby. Any sign of her?

    Jack: Not yet.

    Phyllis: Oh, that’s too bad, jack. Um, anyway, I just wanted to, um, thank you again for what you did for me on thanksgiving. It was such a lovely gesture for what could’ve been a very sad and lonely day for me.

    Jack: Well, that was the intention.

    Phyllis: Well, I really appreciate it. Anyway, I’ll let you go. Good luck on your hunt for abby and bring her home safe.

    Jack: Thanks, red. With any luck, we’ll all be back in genoa city before you know it. Anyway, thanks for calling. Bye. She wishes us luck on our search.

    Ashley: That’s nice. I can only hope that the next call comes from somebody who can help me find my daughter. Some people have joint pain,

    Nate: When did you learn how to take care of a baby?

    Devon: Shoot. You’re looking at it right now, man. I’m learning stuff day by day. I’m figuring out the sounds he makes when he’s hungry, so i make him a bottle, you know. Or when he needs his diaper changed, I know that now. And it’s easy to tell when he’s tired, you just look in his eyes. Can’t hold them open anymore. I’ll sing him a song I make up or something.

    Nate: You make up. Ah, poor baby.

    Devon: What do you mean “poor baby”? He likes it a lot.

    Nate: [ Chuckles ] Well, he’s an infant, he has plenty of time to develop some taste.

    Devon: Yeah, that’s very funny.

    [ Laughs ] No, he probably will soon, man. He’s — he’s advancing. We were doing tummy time, he already tried to hold his head up and look around. It was crazy. I think he’s gonna hit some milestones sooner than later.

    Nate: Tummy time?

    Devon: Tummy time. Yeah, when you put a baby on their stomach.

    Nate: Yeah, I know what tummy time is. I just, uh, didn’t think we’d be talking about tummy time.

    [ Both laugh ]

    Devon: I didn’t either.

    Nate: So you think he’ll be with you for more milestones?

    Devon: I mean…probably not, ’cause the goal is to have abby come home soon, you know. But in the meantime, I’ll be monitoring all his progress. Right? That’s right. I’m always gonna keep an eye on you.

    Victor: Well, it has occurred to me that maybe abby’s not in spain at all.

    Ashley: No sign of her yet.

    Victor: Well, I’ll have my team continue looking. Hopefully they’ll come up with something.

    Ashley: Jack and I were just discussing what to do next. We’re thinking of possibly splitting up, that I would stay here and he would go to a different location maybe.

    Jack: We were wondering if you and your team had any ideas on where we go next. Any thoughts?

    Victor: Well, I keep on thinking about that military pin that we found in the hotel room.

    Ashley: Right, it confirmed our feeling that she’d gone to spain to find chance.

    Victor: Well, maybe in her desperation to find chance, she tried to contact people that he served with in iraq.

    Jack: Yeah, there’s a certain logic to that.

    Victor: Now, as we speak, we are compiling all the names of the unit that he served with in iraq, okay?

    Ashley: Will you give me that list when you get it? And are there any other angles that we should be considering?

    Victor: Well, whenever you find out, I’ll send it on to you.

    Ashley: Okay, thank you.

    Victor: And, sweetheart, please be careful, okay? Be safe.

    Ashley: Of course, you too.

    Kim: My husband, errol, he’s away at the moment — he had business in dublin — heard about the explosion in valencia. A few days later, chance showed up here. He was in rough shape.

    Abby: Oh, no.

    Kim: His leg, torn up. His head, a concussion.

    Abby: And he came here because he knew you could treat him.

    Kim: That’s right. Errol and I were medics in the service. We know the drill. We stitched him up, cleaned his wounds, gave him a place to rest his head. We knew we were putting ourselves in danger by helping him. We couldn’t tell anybody we’d seen him or even that he was alive.

    Abby: Well, I am so grateful that you were able to treat him. You really are a godsend.

    Kim: Well, I probably don’t have to tell you this, but he’s one of the best. He’s a great man. And if the situation were reversed, I have no doubt he would do the same thing for us.

    Abby: Is that what you needed to tell me?

    Kim: No. You need to know that he took the deaths of his colleagues very hard. He has a lot of rage and guilt, and you have to prepare yourself to deal with that.

    Abby: Well, I am glad that you let me know.

    Kim: His being separated from you has taken its toll on him. And I thought it best for you to come and see him.

    Abby: Why didn’t he reach out to me? Or why didn’t he let you reach out to me to let me know that he was alive?

    Chance: Because she knew it would put you in terrible danger. At least I thought she knew.

    Abby: Chance!

    [ Laughs ] No one can deliver your mom’s homemade short ribs.

    Phyllis: A mimosa, heavy on the champagne, on the house.

    Amanda: Ooh. What’s the occasion?

    Phyllis: What’s the occasion? Sutton! Guilty as charged.

    Amanda: Oh.

    Phyllis: How do you feel?

    Amanda: Ah, I feel relieved. Yeah, I know that sutton’s pride took a real hit when he heard that verdict. He realized he wasn’t gonna be able to get away with murder.

    Phyllis: Right. How long is he gonna be locked up for?

    Amanda: Well, the sentence hearing isn’t until another few weeks, but at his age, any prison time is gonna be a life sentence.

    Phyllis: Yeah, for sure. So how do naya and imani feel about it?

    Amanda: Oh, they’re relieved, too.

    Phyllis: Oh.

    Amanda: Yeah, they’re fine with it. I think they realized how much control sutton exerted over their lives, and they’re just finally able to make their own choices. It’s good.

    Phyllis: Hey, I know you wanted justice for your father, and now you have it.

    Amanda: You know, when i started searching for my birth parents, ugh, I never could’ve imagined that it would’ve turned out like this. But I see the irony in it. You know, sutton, he forced my mother to give hilary and me away, all because he wanted to protect his image. He ended my father’s life for that same reason. That’s all that he cared about. And in the end, look, he has nothing, and the granddaughter that he never wanted is standing shoulder-to-shoulder with naya and imani, and after everything he did, we’re still a family anyway.

    Phyllis: You know why that is. It’s because of you. You forgave naya and imani for rejecting you initially. A lot of people wouldn’t have done that. They would have held a grudge.

    Amanda: Well, I realized that they were just pushing me away because they were scared of sutton, so I wanted to help them. I wanted to help them get out from under his thumb, and, you know, I’m really glad that I did because my life is so much richer with them in it.

    Phyllis: You won.

    Amanda: Yeah, maybe.

    Phyllis: Yeah, no, not maybe. You won.

    Amanda: [ Sighs ]

    Phyllis: You did. Maybe it was your dad, you know, looking out for you. Like a guardian angel.

    Amanda: [ Chuckles ]

    Phyllis: Or not. I don’t know. Maybe you don’t believe in angels.

    Amanda: No, I — I think maybe you’re right. Even though he never got a chance to raise me like he’d hoped, I do like to think that he is looking out for me and he’s proud of me.

    Phyllis: I’m sure he is.

    Nate: I’m glad we were able to meet up.

    Devon: Yeah, me too, man. You going back to the hospital?

    Nate: Of course. It’s gonna be pretty packed. You, uh — you got some more tummy time coming up?

    [ Both laugh ]

    Devon: Maybe a little later. Maybe. No, I’m gonna make some calls before I give him his bottle.

    Nate: [ Sighs ] I can tell how much he means to you. You’re great with him.

    Devon: Thank you, man. Thank you. I appreciate you saying that.

    Nate: I just want to be sure you’re prepared for what comes next. It must be an amazing feeling to know you’re his biological father. You know, you get to see a bit of yourself in him, but when abby comes back…

    Devon: Man, I — yeah, I know what you’re getting at. And I’ll be okay. I will. I’m enjoying this special time we’re getting to spend together, but I know that abby’s his mom, and the sooner that she can come back and she can heal and be the mother that he deserves, the better.

    Abby: I was so afraid I was never gonna see you again. Oh, my god. Here you are after all these months.

    Chance: I’ve been dreaming of this. I’ve been dreaming of you. Here you are with me now, just more beautiful than ever. Look at you.

    Abby: Oh! [ Laughs ] I — I never gave up hope. I knew in my heart, I knew in my soul, that I would see you again. I knew it was just a matter of time before we were together again.

    Chance: I hated that I made you suffer and that I couldn’t tell you what was going on. I’m so sorry. I hated that the mission took so long. All I wanted to do was complete it and come back to you. Sometimes life just doesn’t work out the way you want it to. I’m sorry.

    Abby: But it did work out, because you are alive and we are together.

    Chance: [ Chuckles ]

    [ Sighs ] Kim shouldn’t have brought you here.

    Abby: No, no, no, no.

    Chance: It’s too dangerous.

    Abby: Don’t blame kim. I was gonna find you, no matter what. I was never gonna stop looking for you, chance. How did olay top expensive creams?

    Ashley: Ugh! I’m gonna drive myself crazy checking my phone every minute.

    Jack: Yeah, a watched pot never boils. We need some kind of diversion.

    Ashley: There is something we could talk about.

    Jack: Oh, what’s that?

    Ashley: Phyllis.

    Jack: I’m not sure that will be necessary.

    Ashley: Before we left for spain, you said you were having some conflicting feelings about her, and we were gonna talk about it on the flight over, but…

    Jack: Because we were focused on the issue at hand. Besides, your initial reaction when I started talking about phyllis didn’t exactly serve as enticement for me to open up more.

    Ashley: I will try to keep my attitude in check. So how can I help?

    Jack: My feelings for phyllis have indeed resurfaced, and i have concerns about acting on them.

    Ashley: Hmm.

    Jack: We’ve served as friends and confidants, and…that’s worked out pretty well. Starting a new relationship is fraught with pitfalls.

    Ashley: Hmm. Well, sure, given your history.

    Jack: Exactly.

    Ashley: Well, you’re talking like you’re somebody who’s putting on the brakes, but you just sent her an entire thanksgiving dinner and then you video-chatted with her for an hour while she ate it. Doesn’t exactly sound like a man who’s conflicted and concerned, jackie.

    Jack: No.

    Ashley: Mnh-mnh, sounds like a man who’s falling back in love.

    Phyllis: So I think your next stop should be the spa, because if anybody needs a spa treatment, it is you.

    Amanda: I think that that is a wonderful suggestion, but not quite yet.

    Phyllis: Oh, you have somewhere else to be?

    Amanda: Mm-hmm. I really need to unpack what i saw when I came in earlier.

    Phyllis: What’s that?

    Amanda: You on the phone with jack.

    Phyllis: So what?

    Amanda: You were beaming. You eyes lit up just talking to him.

    Phyllis: What?

    Amanda: Uh-huh.

    Phyllis: What?

    Amanda: Yes.

    Phyllis: That’s an exaggeration. They weren’t lit up.

    Amanda: I don’t think that it is. I think that you took my advice. I think you did some soul-searching, and I think you realized that I was onto something, that there is something more going on between you and jack.

    Phyllis: What?

    Amanda: That maybe you’re really not over him.

    Phyllis: [ Sighs ] What? I mean, I don’t get it. I have all of these feelings when it comes to jack. I don’t understand them, but frankly, it scares the hell out of me.

    Chance: Abby, I love you, and I love that you never gave up on me, but coming here, it was the wrong move.

    Abby: Nothing that could make me this happy could possibly be wrong. I was going crazy without you, and I can’t imagine what it cost you being isolated like this.

    Chance: But I had to do it. I had to. I mean, I’ve gone to great lengths to make sure the people that orchestrated that bombing believe that I’m dead.

    Abby: And I’m sure they do. Everyone thinks you died in that explosion. Everyone but me.

    Chance: Abby, you’re not hearing me. You’re not hearing me. I did all of that to protect you and our family, and by coming here, you — you may have undone all that. You may have put that all at risk.

    Abby: No, I was careful. I was careful. No one knows that I’m here. Look, my father couldn’t even track me.

    Chance: [ Exhales sharply ]

    Abby: No one knows where i am.

    [ Chuckles ] Oh.

    Victor: Well, I’m glad i found you at home, devon.

    Devon: Yeah, we just got back from a walk and visiting with nate, so he’s sleeping right now. Keep it quiet.

    Victor: Oh, oh, oh. Shh, shh, shh.

    Devon: Do you have any updates about abby?

    Victor: Uh, just got a call from jack and ashley. They’re in spain, and they have found no trace of abby.

    Devon: Nothing yet. Well, it’s early. They just got there.

    Victor: I apprised christine of what’s going on.

    Devon: I’m sure she wasn’t happy to hear what abby did.

    Victor: She is very unhappy with abby. The fact that abby ignored all the warnings that this could be very dangerous for her to go to that site of the explosion, you know? But I asked christine to tell us for sure that there were no survivors because we need to know. I don’t want abby to just go chasing after someone that doesn’t exist anymore, doesn’t live anymore.

    Devon: Oh, sure. That’s great thinking. Don’t leave any stone unturned.

    Victor: You know I won’T. We’re gonna find her. One way or the other, we will find her. It’s my woke-up-like-this migraine medicine. Some things are good to know.

    “The young and the restless”

    will continue.

    Amanda: Well, when I saw you on the phone with jack, you didn’t look scared. You looked like you wanted him to get over here so you could wrap your arms around him.

    Phyllis: What?! Come on. It’s — I mean…

    Amanda: Phyllis, you looked happy. That’s all I’m saying.

    Phyllis: Well, I mean — i mean, jack does make me happy. He’s so kind and generous. Oh, witty and charming and, you know. And, you know, he has an edge. People don’t see that, but he definitely has an edge. Trust me.

    Amanda: I think you’re proving my point for me. There is more than friendship going on between the two of you.

    Phyllis: Oh, god, I don’t know what’s going on between the two of us. I don’t get it. It’s complicated, that’s for sure.

    Jack: Spending time with phyllis, talking with phyllis makes me happy. Look, she just got out of another relationship. She’s not gonna jump into a new one.

    Ashley: Are we talking about the same phyllis? She jumps from one relationship to the next. Sometimes before the prior one is even over.

    Jack: I thought you were gonna keep your attitude in check.

    Ashley: That’s not my attitude, jack. That’s honesty.

    Jack: I am well aware of phyllis’ history. I haven’t exactly been a saint in my own relationships.

    Ashley: Look, I understand the pull towards somebody that you’ve loved and lost. I mean, there’s always that thought that “somehow this time we can make it work.”

    Jack: But you don’t believe in that concept.

    Ashley: Well, I’ve tried it a few times myself, haven’t I? And you know what I always come back to? No, we can’t make it work.

    Jack: And because you failed in your second and third attempts with an ex, I am doomed because it’s an abbott personality trait.

    Ashley: I’m not saying that. I just don’t want to see you stuck in the middle of something, jack, before you’ve thought everything through thoroughly.

    Jack: That sounds like a warning.

    Ashley: Probably because it is.

    Victor: Look at him. Not a care in the world. So sweet. How’s he doing?

    Devon: He’s doing good. He didn’t sleep very well last night, though.

    Victor: Oh, yeah?

    Devon: Yeah, he woke up a bunch of times, but I think he’s still just getting used to his new surroundings here.

    Victor: I’m sure you’re right.

    Devon: And he misses his mother. I know that.

    Victor: You bet he misses his mother. You know, I want to thank you for taking such good care of him. And nikki and I want to thank you for bringing him by to our thanksgiving dinner.

    Devon: Absolutely. He should always be with his family for the holidays.

    Victor: You know, when he showed up, he lifted our spirits, although we realized that someone was missing at the table.

    Devon: You know, I’m starting to think that we made a mistake by trying to discourage abby from going and looking for chance, ’cause if we had been supportive, I think she would be in contact with us, at least, now.

    Victor: Well, but we had to try to make her listen to reason.

    Devon: I do know, but I’m starting to wonder if, you know, maybe this is truly what she needs to get closure and she has to suffer for a little bit while she proves to herself that chance is really gone. It’s something that I never considered.

    Victor: I got to tell you something about abby, she has always been stubborn. I mean, very stubborn.

    Devon: Yeah.

    Victor: Okay? So even if you had told her to go to spain, even if you had lent her your jet to fly there, she would’ve insisted on going incommunicado.

    [ Cellphone vibrates ] Promise you.

    Devon: Maybe that’s the news we’ve been waiting for.

    Abby: We can’t change what happened. But I am here to bring you home to meet your son.

    [ Chuckles ]

    Chance: I have a son?

    Abby: Yeah. [ Chuckles ] Here, and he’s beautiful and healthy.

    Chance: [ Gasps ]

    Abby: [ Laughs ] Dominic phillip newman abbott chancellor.

    Chance: [ Chuckles ] That’s quite a handle, but i sure do love it.

    Abby: Yeah.

    Chance: Oh, my gosh.

    Abby: The “d” is for devon. The “m” is for mariah. And, well, phillip is obviously after you. And I just — I wanted him to know how many families he’s a part of. How many loving families.

    Chance: Wow, abby, he’s perfect.

    Abby: Yeah.

    Chance: Look at him. That’s my boy.

    Abby: Yeah.

    [ Both laugh ]

    Chance: That’s my boy.

    Abby: Yeah. Oh, he’s just — he’s the best. He makes these little sounds and he smells so good.

    Chance: [ Chuckles ] Where is he now?

    Abby: Well, he’s in good hands. Devon is taking care of him. Yeah, and I’m sure there are a ton of people who are calling, wanting to be backup support.

    [ Chuckles ]

    Chance: Where does devon think you are?

    Abby: Well, he thinks that i am taking some time alone to grasp everything that happened. And then, before I left, i dropped off a note that said i would be gone longer than i originally thought.

    Chance: Well, they must suspect what you’re up to. I mean, your parents would be able to put it together.

    Abby: Well, possibly, but they would never know that I’m here in majorca. Look, I was so careful. I covered all of my tracks. Don’t worry. Don’t worry.

    Chance: I have so many questions.

    [ Chuckles ]

    Abby: Well, you are the one that’s been gone for months. I have so many questions. Like, how and why did you end up here? I want to know everything.

    Chance: Yeah.

    Abby: Mm. For people who could use a lift

    Phyllis: Oh, I don’t understand all these feelings I’m having for jack. I don’t get it.

    Amanda: I know, especially so soon after breaking up with nick.

    Phyllis: Oh, thanks for reminding me. That’s great.

    Amanda: I’m sorry.

    Phyllis: I love nick. I do love him. In so many ways, I always will.

    Amanda: Yeah. But you said you were keeping your guard up with nick.

    Phyllis: Not initially. Initially, it was amazing. But then it took a turn and i don’t know why. All of a sudden, we stopped speaking the same language and there was a lot of misunderstanding, miscommunication, and, you know, I was bracing myself, waiting for the next argument. When is it gonna start? And I was always on guard regarding his family. And…

    Amanda: But it’s not like that with jack.

    Phyllis: No, it’s not like that with jack. I can be me. Oh, the question is, am I ready for that?

    Jack: I’ve been carrying these feelings around by myself for a while. Maybe it’s good that I talked about them openly.

    Ashley: Well, I hope I helped a little bit.

    Jack: Well, I appreciate your sisterly advice. Maybe we can change the conversation.

    Ashley: Oh, did I hurt your feelings?

    Jack: No, no, I appreciate you being so candid, but it’s kind of a moot point. There’s nothing I can do about it while we’re here in spain.

    Ashley: You did send her an entire thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings from spain, so there’s that.

    Jack: I promise, I will deal with it when we get back.

    Ashley: Yeah. Now we got to get back to why we’re here.

    Jack: Yeah, let’s focus all our energy into finding abby.

    Ashley: Nothing matters more.

    Chance: I got to the safehouse in valencia around dusk. I was walking to the front door when the explosion happened. Blew me back about 30 yards. Hit my head, a beam from the ceiling landed on my leg. I was in so much pain. I didn’t lose consciousness, though. I wish I had. I heard the screams in the building. I was able to get up. I was fighting through the pain, but I had to get in there and see who I could save.

    Abby: You went inside?

    Chance: I had to see if i could get those guys out.

    Abby: [ Sighs ]

    Chance: I didn’t find anybody. The devastation was overwhelming.

    Abby: I’m so sorry.

    Chance: I didn’t really have that much time to think about it. The guys that planted the bomb showed up, making sure there were no survivors. So I buried myself under some concrete and I played dead.

    Abby: Oh.

    Chance: Once they left, I was able to slip away, right before the fire department showed up. I wanted to stay close and monitor the situation, you know. I was in bad shape. I needed to find medical attention from somebody that i trusted.

    Abby: So you came here to kim and errol’s house so they could help you?

    Chance: I knew they could keep a secret. I snuck onto a freighter that was on its way to majorca. I was thirsty, starving. My head was throbbing so much, i could — I could hardly see. I made it here. Kim and errol, they — they took good care of me. After they patched me up, i contacted my director, and we both agreed that for the sake of the mission and for my safety, that we couldn’t tell anybody that I survived.

    Abby: So the authorities withheld information. They withheld the truth. That’s why christine thought that you were dead.

    Chance: I’ve been here, laying low since. Healing, waiting.

    Abby: It breaks my heart what you went through. And I know it’s gonna take a lot of time and a lot of effort for you to get through this, but i am here. And I’m here to take you home. Look, I know that you are on the road to recovery and I can get you out of here safely and anonymously. It’s time to leave this place behind. his is jack. And I know the timing isn’t right. The timing is never right. But I think you know what you want. I think you just don’t want to admit it.

    Phyllis: [ Sighs ]

    Amanda: How do you think jack feels? Do you think he feels the same way?

    Phyllis: Pretty sure that he has feelings, yeah.

    Amanda: Okay, well, then i think the only question that you need to answer is what are you gonna do next?

    Phyllis: [ Scoffs ] I have no idea.

    Jack: Maybe we’re on the wrong track. Maybe abby’s in paris. I mean, she has the place there that dina left her.

    Ashley: No, she — she rented it out because she didn’t think she’d have any time to travel when she had the baby.

    Jack: Oh.

    [ Cellphone rings ]

    Ashley: It’s victor. Hello, victor, I’m here with jack.

    Victor: I am here with devon. And I just spoke christine, and she confirmed that there was no one left after that explosion in valencia, okay? So there’s no one for abby to try to contact.

    Ashley: Well, I guess that narrows our search. Is there any word about the soldiers that chance served with in iraq?

    Victor: We’re compiling a list of whoever he served with, and we’ve been calling them. And so far, no one has been contacted by abby.

    Devon: There’s still a lot of people on that list that have yet to be contacted.

    Ashley: So basically, what you’re saying is we don’t have very much to go on.

    Victor: I’m sorry, ashley.

    Ashley: It’s okay. I know you’re trying everything.

    Jack: Sounds like the best thing we can do right now is to keep searching here in Valencia.

    Victor: We will try everything in our power to come up with something concrete.

    Ashley: I’m so incredibly worried about her. She’s here all by herself. She doesn’t have her baby. If she did go to the explosion site, then she must be devastated. If she’s realizing that she’s never gonna find Chance, then how badly is she gonna fall apart?

    Chance: I’m so sorry that I put you through this. That I put everybody through this. But I can’t go. Not yet.

    Abby: Why not?

    Chance: It’ll be just a little bit longer, I promise. But I have to stay here and finish things up in Spain. I can’t leave until the mission is over.

    Abby: Well, no, no, no. The mission is over. [Scoffs] All of the men that you worked with are all dead. It’s time for you to come home.

    Chance: Abby, I saw the guys that killed my men. I saw the guys that killed my friends. I recognized one of them. I have to find him.

    Abby: Why?

    Chance: Because he will lead me to the guy on top. The whole point of this mission was to find a criminal that fled the US to set up shop overseas. I’m gonna go get him.

    Abby: Why don’t you just let another agent handle it?

    Chance: No, no, no. I can’t, I can’t, Abby. I can’t. I have to see this through. I need to. I’ve never failed or left a mission, and I’m not gonna start now. And I will never forget what happened to my men. I will bring down the people who killed them. My men deserve no less.
